they Could •give him a fair trial, for all of them must from
the notoriety of his character, be preconvinced of his guilt,
and he therefore called upon them to acquit him, as their
prejudices could not allow of their well and truly trying
him according to their oaths, as to the facts charged in the
indictment. This equally ingenious and ingenuous defence
did not move the Jury to a verdict of " Not guilty."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

This morning the Maria (Colonial Vessel) arrived from St.
John's, Newfoundland, in 23 days, bringing home Sir Thomas
Cochrane, the late Governor, with Capt. D. Buchan, R. N.,
High Sheriff of the Island. The recal of the Governor is at-
tributed by the Newfoundland papers to the machinations of
the Roman Catholic Priesthood, and their cabal representa-
tions to the Government, through Mr. O'Connell. The re-
gret at his departure is publicly expressed, with strong tokens
of esteem and regard. Capt. Henry Prescott, C. 8., the
new Governor, assumed the command on the 3d inst. The
Champion, 18, was to sail on her return to England on the
7th. The accounts from Halifax are to the 29th ult. ; they
state that the cholera had entirely disappeared there, and that
at St. John's, New Brunswick, only one fatal case had oc-
curred in four days.

The packet ship Canada, from New York, on the Ist No-
vember, landed her passengers here this afternoon.
The Pluto steamer, Lieut. Sullivan, arrived on Monday,
from the Coast of Africa, last from Plymouth, and sailed again
on Wednesday for Woolwich, to be paid off.
Admiral Warren, who arrived here on the 21st in the Isis,
struck his flag on Sunday morning ; and that ship sailed on
Wednesday for Chatham to be paid off. The greatest feeling
of regret was expressed by all the officers and ship's company
(we arc informed) on the worthy Admiral and his kind family
quitting the Isis, where, by their attention and kindness to all
on board, they made themselves truly beloved. The Admiral
may retire to the bosom of his family with the gratification and
conscious feeling of carrying with him the best and warmest
wishes of all those who have served under him, and the bless-
ings of thousands of the natives of Africa whose interest he
has always had at heart, and whose rights have been more at-
tended to, and condition bettered during the period of his
command on the African station.

We are sorry to hear that the Isis suffered much from sick-
ness, which was contracted during her stay at the Gambia.
Twenty-two cases of fever occurred on board, six of which, we
regret to say, proved fatal ; one of the number was Mr. Henry
Lacon, mate, whose death was regretted by all on board. The
Isis was detained at the Gambia nearly three weeks, waiting
the arrival of the Thalia (her relief), and it was the sickly
season there. It is hoped that the Admiralty will in future
devote a little more considerate attention to the time and sea-
son of the year when they order ships abroad as well as to re-
turn home, particularly in these peaceable times, when the
service will admit of such an arrangement being made. The
Isis landed twenty-two men sick at the hospital, Haslar, since
her arrival. Since the Isis left England she had only nine-
teen deaths on board, six of these were accidents. The mor-
tality being so small out of the many sick she had is fairly
attributed to the skill and humanity of the medical officers of
the ship. They had had no less than 100 cases of bowel
complaint within the last ten months, forty-nine of them
marked cases of dysentery; not one death occurred on board.
The skill, attention, and humanity of Mr. Gunn, the Assistant
Surgeon, is gratefully remembered by all the officers and
ship's company.
