CORN EXCHANGE, Serr. 12.

THERP is but little fresh Wheat arrived for this
day's Market, with a continuance of little business;
the prices are quoted at small variation ; the Raley
and Malt trade likewise exceedingly dull; Pease,
with Beans of both sorts, are dearer ; arts are in.
tolerable good supply ; those of tine quality fetch
an advance of rs. per quarter; we have not much
Flour, but last prices continue.

The Haymarket Theatre was very welt attended
on Saturday last, notwithstanding the loyal counter-
Olion at OM Drury. The dramatic Pieces were
TL, Tale qie Mjsiety, Love Laughs at Locksmiths,
and The Review. The want of the Leader of the
Ihnti,, who was at Drury-lane, occasioned some
euk`wardnets in the orchestra, and the Prompter's
thell was put into vigorous adivi,s,, to summon the
tardy
musicians, TAYLOR, BantroN, and DEN-
MAN x'Tutted themselves very well in Ihe Re.

yllin Kann, and Jobe ei‘Coe, ntherwise
Na,, were put to the Bar on Charges of High Tre...
son. The Prisoners challenged
,twenty.eight out
of the Pannel, eighteen were set aside by the Crown.
After the Jury had been sworn, Robert Emmett,
Esq. was brought to the -Bar, and arraigned on a
Charge of High Treason-..being asked by the Court
what Counsel he would have assigned him, the Psi.
toner named Mr. CURRAN and Mr. GEORGE PON-
SQNUT, but on being informed that Mr. GEORGR
PoNsONBY having left town, could not attend to
him, he mentioned Mr. BURTON, and was inform_
ed by the ATTORNET.GENERAL, that if Mr. PoN.
SONBY should come to town within' a reasonable
_time, he might, it' he wished it, snitestitute him for
Mr. BURTON ;• Mr. LEONARD M`NAL,LY was as.
signed as the Prisoner's Counsel. The c9Urt then
informed the Prisoner, that he would he'brought up
on Wednesday next to plead and take his trial forth.
with, unless some substantial reason should be-as.
signed for postponing it. The Prisoner is a sten.
der, sharp.countenanced young man, apparently
about 23 years of age ; he spoke low, and seemed
under a degree of agitation.
Mr. PRIME SERJRANT stated the case for the
Crown, and recapitulated the narrative which the
ATTORNEY.GENER AL yesterday gave of the tran.
sattion against Rourke.
The only novelty which occurred in the testimo.
ny of Mr. M'Craith, in comparing it with that
which he gave yesterday, arose from the cross-exa.
mination of Mr. M'NALLY.
It appeared, that the Witness had effeeted his
escape in consequence of a bribe he tendered a man
armed with a pike, amounting to zos. in silver, one
Bank-note of a Guinea, and another of a Guinea and
a Half. While the man had been conclu 'ing the
treaty to permit the Witness's escape, he held his
pike to the Witness's breast, and took the end of
that which had been forced on the Witness into his
hand, apparently fearful of entrusting the Witness
with the use of it. The Witness shortly after left
the pike with him, and ran down John's-lane, near
the Market.house, in Thomas street.
On a question from Mr. M'NALLY, Witness re.
plied, that when giving testimony yesterday, he
only -thought it incumbent on him to answer such
questions as were put to him ; that I+, neither then
or now would, through any further interrogatories,
wish to take away the life of any man w ho saved his.
The Counsel for the Crown did nor press the point.
Michael Mahaffy, the principal W, mess against
Felix. Rourke, in addition to his depositions or.
Rourke's trial, identified the Prisoner Killin, as one
who drove his pike throtigh the body of one man
whom he saw lying in the street in Dirty.lant,
bleeding and groaning ; and also identified the Fri.
toner M'Can, as the man who fired a long pistol at
another man, whom Witness saw lying near the same
spot in a similar condition—Witness saw also Rourke
pike a Watchman to death, beside the other cnor.
:pities he committed.
Cross-examined by Mr. CURRAN—It appeared,
that Witness had seen the Prisoner M'Can before,
hut had no acquaintance with him ; he knew his.
house ; never had any quarrel with him to his know-
ledge ; knew a man of the name of Keegan, to whom
he owed some money, but never was arrested for it;
never charged M'Ctm with having set him for a
Bailiff ; never had a quarrel with him, but struck
Keegan at a time that he was drunk in his, Keegan's,
own house ; does not recollea what part, if any,
M'Can took in that quarrel ; never expressed any
enmity to him, nor said he would he revenged of
him ; saw Killin at hit own house ; drank small
beer in his company there, but had no further sae..
quaintance with him; Kunio keeps a snack-house-near
the corner of Thomas.street, to which the Prisoner
sometimes resorted ; but drank no liquor at Killin's
beside small beer, no other having been sold there.
Mr. Cliettiast very warmly expressed the high
sense he entertained of the mildness and beneti.
cence of the present Government, su much expa-
tiated on by the Learned Gentleman, the PRIME
SRRJEANT; in coming to the statement of his Client's
defence, he said, they must from necessity resort to
an
Margaret Codd was adduced for Prisoner,
Killin : she deposed, that she is a mirtied woman;
that her husband without adual disueline and she,
have {heed separate these tour years hack ; the
younger child of two is near four years old, the
elder eight ; both have stemaineal with their father
in theeeitintry, while she lived and •lodged in the
-second floor of the house over the Cellar in which
the Prisoner, Killin, whom slit knows well, keeps
an eating Cellar ; bhe saw Killin frequently on Sa-
turday, July z 3 ; saw him particularly standing at
the door of his cellar about six o'clock that evening;
had occasion for a candle, and went into the cellar at-
ter nine o'clock that night, where she saw the Pri.
• soner Killin attending his locleers, among whom were
three Pensioners, one of the name of Knight ; Killin
then closed the dtior and would not permit any one
to go out in consequence of a noise and firing which
were, heard outside ; she did not then hear the cause
of it, neither could she conjeaure what it was ;
heard afterwards it was occasioned by a kind of pets-
ple called United Men ; when Killin insisted that no
one who was then in the cellar should leave it until
morning, Knight, the Pensioner, said no man should
prevent him, that Ise was a soldier and not afraid;
Witness lay in a settle-bed with a servant maid, but
could not sleep ; she did not quit the cellar that
night, since Kitlin had secured the door, and was
equally certain that Killin himself did not go out
that night ; her husband is npt in business, he is
not fit for business, and lives on the interest of some
money which he comes to town half yearly *to re-
ceive ; does not sleep .wilh her when he comes to
town, but divides his interest money with her, and
sends the children occasionally to see her ; the cause
of their separation was on account of some arrange.
ment he made of his property respeeling a life annuity.
The three Pensioners which the last Witness men.
tioned, were sworn ; they all deposed that Killin
had closed the door about eight o'clock ; one of the
name of Knight deposed, that when Mrs. CoiLl came
into the cellar, she said the people were killing each
other in Thomas-stn set.
