before at the Eagle Tavern in Buffalo, and knew his ap- ,
pearaoce. I was examined the-day after this- at Schlosser
by a Magistrate, and my attention was called to the per-
son who struck me, and I told every one that asked me
that I supposed that it was M'Leod, but it was done very
Fnick, and I might possibly be mistaken. I went to
ield's, and in five or ten minutes went to the back and
watched the boat burning.
_

And SAMUEL BROWN, another witness, de-
posed as follows :

The boats landed below the river on Chippewa-creek,
about 25 rods from the head of the cut up to the creek.
They landed close to the river. There were three
boats. I was at their side. There were ten or twelve
men in a boat. M'Leod was one, I should say. I was
eight or ten feet from the boats. Saw all get out of
the boats. Was ten feet from Al`Leod when he got out.
Smith was with me. They walked ten or twelve rods
to Davis's tavern in the village. I was in company
with them. They were talking of the destruction of the
boat. Others came down where they landed. All
stopped outside the house. Some one said, let us go in
and take a drink. I think there was a lamp outside.
There was a light inside. The door was opened and
shut. I saw Dl'Leocl there. Don't think lam mistaken.
Was within eight or ten feet of him at Davis's tavern.
I heard him speak. Did not talk with him. lam as
sure that I saw him there as I am that I now see him
sitting before me.
This is the whole ofthe evidence against M'LEon,
personally, in the report of the first two-and-
a-half day's proceedings. It amounts to little
more than a conjecture on the part oftwo men who
knew the prisoner but imperfectly. On the se-
cond day of the trial, during the examination of
a witness named FIELD, the Judge pronounced
an opinion which justified the destruction of the
Caroline. "It appears," said the Learned Judge,
" that there was an armed force at Chippewa,
that there was a hostile force on Navy Island,
and that this force was recruited by men, and
furnished with arms and provisions from the
United States' side, and that the Caroline was
employed in transmitting them." This opinion
clearly places the question of the attack on the
Caroline within the jurisdiction of international
law. FIELD, a witness for the prosecution, ad-
mitted on oath, that " Men and munitions of
war were carried over daily from Schlosser to
Navy Island." He further admitted that he saw
" several pieces of artillery" carried to the
Island byan armed force from the United States.
We do not see, after such evidence as this, how
the Judge can tell the Jury that they have the
slightest jurisdiction in the ease of M'LEon.
From the order observed by the Court, and
the extreme solicitude to obtain an impartial
Jury, we see clearly that the Bench and Bar of
the United States are fully alive to the severe
scrutiny which their conduct upon this trial will
elicit in England. They therefore assume a
gravity becoming the greatness of the occasion,
knowing that the soundest lawyers in the world
will sit in judgment upon their opinions and pro-
ceedings. So far as the evidence extends, it
affects M'LEon very little; and if a verdict be
asked—which we are still half inclined to doubt
—we anticipate his immediate acquittal.

Some of the Tory Journals express great exul-
tation at the termination of a meeting held at
Leeds, on yesterday week, for the purpose of
promoting a union between all classes of Re-
formers. At this distance of time we cannot
copy a full report of the proceedings, but we
will give a brief outline of them, to enable our
readers to judge whether the result is such as to
make good men, and particularly the good men
amongst the Tories, exult.

The meeting was called by the Leeds Parlia-
mentary Reform Association, and Col. THOMPSON
was invited, as possessing the confidence of both
the Anti-Corn-law Repealers and of the Char-
tists, to negotiate the terms of a mutual under-
standing. A deputation from the Chartists met
the Committee, for the purpose of seeing the
intended Resolutions, which were as follow :

1. That this meeting views the defective state of the
representation as the source of the suffering under which
the country labours.
2. That the confiscation of the property of the indus-
trious classes, inflicted by the existing Corn-laws, is the
most prominent of the practical grievances arising from
the actual condition of the elective franchise.

3. That this meeting invites the co-operation of all
who, desiring the improvement of the representation
generally, are disposed to move against this practical
grievance as the means. And it particularly impresses
the adviseableness of those parties, who hold different
opinions on this point, taking each their several ways,
without attacking or interfering with the other.

The deputation intimated that the Chartists
would not move any amendment to these resolu-
tions, but they afterwards changed their minds.
The place of meeting, the large room of the
Commercial Building at Leeds, was crowded to
excess, and Mr. J. G. MARSHALL was in the
Chair. The first resolution was unanimously ,
carried, which can scarcely afforthany reasonable
ground of satisfaction to the Tories. On the
second resolution being put, a Mr. JOSEPH LEES
moved, as an amendment, that the whole Charter
be adopted. After several gentlemen had ad-
dressed the meeting, some urging the adoption
of the Charter, others the abolition of the Corn-
laws, as the subject on which Reformers of all
kinds should unite, the amendment was carried
by such a small majority, that the CHAIRMAN
was obliged to request the Ayes to go on one
side, and the Noes on the other, in order that he
might decide. We are assured on the unques-
tionable authority of a gentleman present, and
well qualified to judge, that the proportion of
the meeting in favour of the amendment was as
six to five. Six-elevenths of this numerous
meeting preferred agitation for the Charter to
agitation fbr the Corn-laws, and the other five-
elevenths were for Corn-law agitation. The
whole meeting, though not united, was decidedly
opposed to the Tories.
In the course of the discussion, Mr. LEES
openly avowed the object which he and his party
had in view. "We will not allow," he said,
" anybody to get their rights till we have got
ours." Do the good men amongst the Tories
find any cause for exultation in the success of
those who act on this principle? No improve-
ment will the Chartists allow to be made till
Universal Suffrage is conceded. They are re-
solved to march to victory through destruction.
They will not, in the words of the third resolu-
tion, allow other men " to take their own way,"
but they will attack them, and interfere with
them ; and their momentary success, though it
be the success of violence and anarchy, is boasted
of by the Tory Journals. Their approbation will
give the Chartists strength, and will, if any-
thing can, enable them to realise their own
schemes.

We will, in conclusion, take the opportunity of
saying that the active part which Mr. J. G.
MARSHALL takes in all these proceedings, com-
pletely identifies this opulent and enlightened
man with those admirable papers which bear his
signature, as Chairman of the Leeds Reform
Association.

0 The= Gazette of this day contains a decree, declaring in

state ,of blockade the coast of Cantabria, from Castro de
Ui2liale: to Fontarabia, with the exception of these two ports,
and those of Guetaria, Saint Sebastian, and Passages.'

"THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY DIVI-
SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.
" The Junta of Barcelona suspended, the day before yester-
day, the formation of free battalions, in order not to throw
difficulties in the way of the quinta. It has sent a million of
reals to the Regent.'
In most of the French journals the Chris-
tino insurrection' in Spain is regarded as com-
pletely extinguished.
The Gazette de France of Thursday evening, says :
" A person who comes from Saragossa informs us
that the Spanish Government has decreed a levy of'
150,000 men ; viz., 100,000 of the class of 1841, and
50,000 of the class of 1840. It is said that the execution
of this measure is already commenced in Arragon. If
this statement is correct, it may be conceived 'what
new derangement it will cause in the finances of
Spain, at a moment when the Treasury, in the utmost
need, seeks to introduce retrenchment in the expendi-
ture. Spain, too, will not suffer alone, from the facilities
which the authors of the attempt have found in the con-
nivance, or if you will, in the blindness of the French
authorities, who suffered this movement to be organised
under their own eyes. It is said that on learning the
measures taken by Espartero, to send an army to the
Northern provinces of Spain, and perhaps to keep it
there, when he sees the encouragement which the insur-
rection meets with in organizing itself in our territory,
our Cabinet has resolved to assemble a corps at Ba-
yonne, and another at Perpignan, besides a reserve at
Toulouse.
" All these cannot be done without additional votes of
credit, and the Chamber, before which the question
must come, will perhaps think fit to penetrate to the
bottom of the affair. It would be a fitting occasion to
exercise the right of inquiry, in order to know the na-
ture of the encouragement given to this enterprise,
which has' so miserably failed ; but which will, never-
theless, lead to deplorable and expensive consequences.
" It seems that in attacking the Palace at Madrid, the
conspirators followed a programme which was not a
mystery to everybody. The Gazette of Genoa, giving, on
the 13th, news from Barcelona, brought by the Phoceen,
which left that port on the 9th, said, " At Madrid the
business of the Insurgents will be to carry off the two
Princesses, for whose two lives O'Donnell has manifested
some fears."
A private letter from Toulon, of the 9th, says that
Rear- Admiral Casey has received orders by the tele-
! graph to prepare to put to sea with four ships of the
line. It is said that this division is to go to the coast
of Spain.—Commerce.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

A comparison of the Exchequer Bills so mysteriously
hypothecated for loans in the Stock Market with those
issued by the Government, proves them to be genuine,
but the practice of issuing double numbers, however dif-
ferent may be the wording in the hills themselves is much
reprobated, and will, no doubt henceforth be discontinued.
It is said there are triple bills in circulation.
The Stock Market to-day was better, but there was not
a large business doing. Consols were at an improvement
from 874 4 to 87+ and 88+ for money, and from 888 I to
881 K for account. Exchequer Bills were 10s. to 12s.
premium, and East India Bonds 2s. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Co.nts. ware steady at 97i to I,
and the Reduced Three per Cents. at 861 to 87.
The feature in the Foreign Market to-day was an ad-
vance in Brazil Stock of 2 to 3 per cent., being merely
a reaction upon the recent heavy depression. Spanish
Bonds improved to 201 and 21, closing at 204 ; Portu-
guese New Five per Cents. were worth 29+ ; Colombian
Bonds were dull at 18+ to 19, and Mexican at 234 to 24.
Belgian Five per Cents. were at 1024, and Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cerv.s. at 51+.
In Shares rather more business was done. Great
Western were 91- to 10} ' • New ditto 44 to 4 ; Binning.
ham, 664 to 671 ; Thirds, 20 ; York and North Mid-
' land, 28-1 ; and South Western, 13k to 12! premium.
Brighton were 12+ discount.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MA RK ET, OCT. 23.—The demand for
Cotton to-day has been entirely confined to the trade. The
/sales consist of 3,500 bales of all kinds. Uplands, sd. to 6d. ;

Cape of Good Hope papers to the 15th August have been
received. All was quiet of the frontier.
The intelligence brought by the George Washington from
the United States, although considered to be favourable, has
had but little effect upon the English Stock Market. Consols
are now 876 88 for Money, and 885 a for the Account ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 10 12 prem.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Securities have further ad-
vanced. The Active Stock, which closed on Saturday at 2044,
is now quoted at 204 21 : Deferred 1014% : Passive 514 ;
Portuguese Five per Cents., 29%; Ditto Three per Cents ,
" 174 18.
There has been but little business doing in the Stock Ex-
change up to the present time. Consols remain firm at 885 a
1 for the Account, and 871 83 for Money ; Three per Cent.
Reduced, 864 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 11 10 12 ; India Bonds,
2 premium.

The accounts from Spain are more favourable again, and it
is shown that Espaitero is determined to oppose a powerful
check upon any future attempt at insurrection. The
French territory, it is very generally supposed, will afford
a refuge for Colonel O'Donnell. It is to be feared that
the Treasury at Madrid will be much drained in order to pre-
serve tranquillity.

FOREIGI%T.

The only important foreign news received yesterday
was the trial of M'Leod at Utica, in the United States.
Our report of the proceedings extends over two days and
a half, and will be found very interesting. We antici-
pate from the evidence before us the acquittal of the
prisoner.

In Paris the Christino insurrection in Spain is con-
sidered over.

NIONEY-TTLADE-COMMMPLCE.

Sir Edward Parry, the distinguished naval officer, has
been appointed by Government to make inquiries, by
personal tour and inspection, whether if the suggested
improvements on the Caledonian Canal were made, the
trade of the country would derive any corresponding
advantage.
At Manchester and Stockport the cotton-spinning and
power-loom weaving is in a sad state, and at Leeds the
past week has been the dullest during the year. The
accounts from Barnsley and Huddersfield are more fa-
vourable.
