Weakness in the back, the surgeon ordered petitioner a
chair on Saturday, May 30th, and a table on May 31st.
That the Visiting Magistrates applied to Lord lierniatiby
°rl the Ist June, to allow them to put your petition°
°Pon a level with common felons, by allowing petitioner
to see visitors in the same manner, with an iron grat-
ing between the parties That, on the 4th of June,
a Mr. Crawford, Prison Inspector, came to York Castle,
and did secretly and in the absence of petitioner examine
all the officers of the leison, and also the twe prisoners
confined in the same ward with petitioner, touch nes the
allegations contained in your petitioner's statement laid
before your Honourable House on June Ist. That peti.
tioner having heard of the inquisition, immediately wrote
to the Chairman of the Visiting Magistrates, and de-
ntanded that he, the Chairman, and the Governor should
!).p examined by the inspector, in presence of petitioner.
het on the following morning the said impector, accom-
Panied by the Chairman, Mr.Cayley, J P., and the Go.
!triter, waited upon petitioner, and addressed him in the
lollowing words :—" Mr. O'Connor, my name is Craw-

duty, I have no authority ; I was merely in York, and

Yolk Castle, and upon thrt day sent for petitioner, when
he informed petitioner that he, Mr. Craw lord, had then

Petitioner. That the evidence of John Abbez, one of the

he declaring that he did not know what was taken down by
Inspector, on the 4th June, in petitioner's absence.
That the greater part of the evidence of ether witnesses
called to disprove the allegations in pstitioner's compleint,
submitted to your Honourable House on the Ist June, was '
tally proved to have been giren from ignorance of the frets,
and misrepresentation. That the liispseter promised faith-
fully to resume the examination at ten o'clock on the more-
log of the 10th June. when your petitioner undertook to

',l,°4 it and :o prove, that ivi send,in (eery one of 11r.

letters to the Inspector, demandine a fall inquity, amnd-
i untt .to the cl,elaration of Lord Norm:nib.) made to Lord
t'rougham. the said Inspector left York, refusing to go
'to the allegations conteined in your petitioner's petition.
That on the tolbwitig Saturday, a newspaper published in
4York, had all the evidence taken before the Inspector on
tne 4th June, in petitioner's absence. published as a justi.
fication of the conduct of the Visiting M igistrates, although
the greater part of the evidence was retracted and the
retuanider contradicted. That your petitioner has been
Prohibited, by order of Lord Noritianey, as convened to the
Petitioner by the Chairman of the Visiting Magistrates,
from publishing anything in the public press, even the
State of his health.
T hat in consequence of such erroneous publication,
and the restrictions imposed upon petitioner, he feels
Iwely grieved. Your petitioner is a member of the
Irish Bar, and should be excluded from that honour-
atile society if he was guilty of laying a false state-
Iler4 before your Honourable flubse. Your peti-
tioner was a fearless, faithful, and attentive Member
of Your Honourable House for three years, and hopes
t,"at he was ton well known to be supposed capable
rbf la -
false statement b.tfre our Hnourabl House.
Thaty the first Law Officer of o
they Crowno has stateed that
Your petitioner was illegally treated if the allegations set
forth in his petition, presented on the Ist of June, were
true, That your petitioner is prepared to prove that every
Word in said petition was strictly true, and that scarcely a
perceptible difference was ever made up to the Ist June.
Your petitioner complains that some of the most illegal
treatment then set forth is still practised towards your
Petitioner. That your petitioner is resolved that a tame
submission by him to treatment designated as illegal by
`°e first Law Officer of the Crown, shall not be established
14a precedent for the similar treatment of others. Your
Petitioner does not ask for any the slightest relaxation of
the strictest rules of York Castle if he does not prove the
truth of
every allegation contained in his petition to your
Honourable House, and if he is not by law, by justice,
and precedent entitled to the same. Your petitioiler sub-
-4148 to your Honourable House, that he is the first person
Who, in this country, has been treated as a common felon
for the teem publication of libel. Your petitioner begs to
T6lttiod your Hon. House that one Joseph -Stephens, now
confined in Chester Gaol for sedition and conspiracy, haseill
the privilege of a debtor, and does actually publ.sh a poti ical
periodical, which is not prohibited ; while your petitioner,
Ineugh still liable to a similar verdict for libel, is not
allotted to write a word in his own stamped newspaper.
This your petitioner must consider as a great hardship,
,tti'l on a striking difference in tire treatment of the parties.
"'at your petitioner's health has become very mutes worse
since his confinement in York Castle without exercise.
Herder all the circumstances your petitioner prays, That
your Honourable House will present an humble Addiess
to her Majesty, praying that her Mejesty may be ge a -ious'y
Pleased to appoint a Commission to extunice into and report
°Pon the allegation contained in your petitiener's peeler),
presented to your lioneurable House on the Ist of June,
. and that the said Commission shall examine witnesses en
the spot, and in presence of your petitioner, who, if twee..
tarY, shall hate the assts'at.cc of his legal adviser.
And your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ee or pray.

heinous and detestable crimes ; it is :Iv, opinion of this House,
that such mode of carrying out sentences of imprisonment for
Political Offences, being as uncalled for as unprecdented, ought
to be discontinued ; and that no greater restraint sh.nild be

THE WAR 1N FRENCH AFRICA.

ALGIERS. JUNE 25.

The following letter, giving an account of the Marshal's
expedition to 'Miliana, and his return, may be depended
upon:—

" CAMP OF THE COL OF TENIAII, JUNE 16.
" After having travelled over the valley of the Setit' and
be mountains, we arrived at the Col, where we remained
,hree or four days, in order to wait for the supply of provi-
sions from Blidah, and everything that was to victual Me-
deah for three months.
" It was with great difficulty that we succeeded in over-
coming the obstacles of every kind which were opposed to
our passage. The dieuttics of the ground were mourner-
able. Therefore, we marched but at a slow pace. We
arrived at Miliana eight days after our departure from Al-
giers. We found that city reduced to ashes. It is a great
loss for us, since, notwithstanding its state of dtlapidation,
a garrison of 1 000 men had been left there.
" The country is beautiful, water abounds in every
quarter, and the environs are gsrdens, vineyatds, and
orchards. The cultivation has been abandoned tins year.
The bad .vason has doi.rive.l the trees of ;heir fruit, with
the exception of the vines and fig-trees.
" Tire garrison will b.: perfectly secure there, but it will
• be impossibl.- for it to have the entrenn'hments for the pur-
pose of getting the ft Lot, which the K tby les will not fail
to gather.
Miliaria is situated on a steep summit to the east, and
very difficult to be attuned, either from the south cr the
rest. It's by the weetkrn side that the army took pus-
session of it.

MURDER AND A'FrEMP FED SUI
CIDE NEAR WOOTI'EN BASSETT.

" The enemy made great demonstrations of resistance,
but, sti kg cur eclumes carlyitg it by assault, it &tam
cloned its position, leav:rig us masters e f the pl ,ce. We
* ntered the wretched town, the str, ets were full of liurcieg
conibustil&s, the fire had juft fieished coe‘uming all the
houses ; and the walls were f,Cling down in cv ry direc-
tion. With the exception of four mosques the whole had
been burnt. There are about ten houses that are not quite
burnt ; it is in these holve. that troops were Inl:etten, aid
those %bleb sill serve to shelter our soldiers arc beieg
repaired in any manner. We had ahout fiery wounded,
and sume killed, before we got too-session of the town. It
is a trifling affiir for what took place.
" Oa the fourth day after our arrival at Miliana we set '
off for the Col, following the valley of the Setit; we ar-
rived near Medeah.
" All Abd-el-Kader's army was lying in wait for us near
the Cul, which the Marshal took possession of in the night
by sending Colonel Changarnier, with about 1 500 111,n.
We were encamped at the springs of the Chive, All the
dangerous positions for our couvoy were occupied by our
troops, and in the morniag we set off for the Cid.
" Toe GUvernor wished to give ha: tic, all
Kadci's forces being united. The engaeemeni was aei-
mated. It lasted six hours, at the end of which peri d
the Arabs retreated, after having lost v great number. On
our side we bad three hundred killed arid wounded._ We
have several Arab Chiefs in our peer. The bayonet was
oft. s put into r,quisition. Tue. Sappers had two kilted
and twelve wounded.
" The artillery rendered important services, but there
was too much cannonading. Tree infantry contributed
most to the sa.ccess of the engagement."

~ The small sequestered village of TocLerdiam, distai
"hi this town three miles, has been thrown into the
greatest excitement by a man, named James Taylor,
!_hooting his wile dead, and afterwards attemptiog to
cut his own throat. The c rcumstances arc as fol-
ws:—Taylor, aged 45, who :s of a revengeful dispo-
sition,.. about four years ago mauled a young girl of
'O, with whose mother, it is reported, he for ,osue
Vats cohabited. Taylor had a<!ntitted as lodgers in
Great Western
some excavators, who were working on tio•
Western Railroad, near the village, one of whom
auld unfortunately seduced the affeelioes of the Nile,
and the guilty pair eloped. The husband fo:low4d with
11"80 and trap ; and under prouise of fotgiveness,
the wife returned Lome with hint. Things remaineo
thus until Friday last, when same female i,eighbour
intimated to Taylor that the seducer of his wife WAS
lurking about the premises ; his temper, naturally
irritable, was then roused, and he proceeded to toed a
gun
1-the wife seeing some mischief contemplated, at-
tempted to leave the house ; upon which he discharged
the contents at her, the whole of which entered her
ntly, and caused instant death. Toe wretched m Ali,
;laving attempted to cut his throat, then ran from the
!reuse, telling the first person he met he had killed his

were shortly after in attendance, Mr. Hooper, the
surgeon, having previou-ly sewn up the wound in his "JUNE 26.
