MORNING PAPES.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

In pursuance of the orders previously issued,
the Privy Council assembled yesterday Morning
at tervo'cloci, for- the purpose of hearing the al--

gurrOnts or-Counsel in support of QUeen',

clakkto enjoy the honour of being crowned with
Consort. The assembly of Privy

Cene.sellors was the most numerous that has ever
been fernembered, marking at once the solici-
tude.. with which the claim is regarded by the
most. •
distinguished men in the emrire, and the
anxiety upon the part of the King's Majesty 'that-
it- s..honld be investigated with all the attention
and-solemnity Is-hir...11 so ireportant a mater de-
serves. Brou.gham addressed the Council
in a speech i.epiete 'with the most curious anti-
quarian and historical inforination upon the sub-
ject. Not 'satisfied with the records-of the Co-
rc•no-lions of I.C.ings and Queens 'of . the Stuart,
Ten'inr, Plantagenet, and Norman lines,, the
Lesrned Gentleman-explored with a careful cud
discerning, eye the less* familiaiHnonuotetts of
.S.xon story, and drew even from itern proofs
and examples in support of the right for
which he was contending. But however in-
tcresting and curious an inquiry of this. na-
tuie man-st, be into limes so 'far' remote, -Alr;
Broegharn felt that it wassmore essential for his
purpose to deduce the right of his. Royal Client
from the practice, and the priiiciples as marked,
h the practice,,of periods much more. trtodern
and he accordingly specified, with extreme nil- 1
nuteness- and precision, the several coronations of
the _variOns Monarchs . Who sway ed.„, the - British
sceptre from the Conquest to the: Revolution,.
and drew from them this 'conclusion, that it has
ever in England been esteemed the• prescriptive
right of a Queen Consort to enjoy the honours
of a coronation, sometimes with the King, in
cases 9f marriage previous to the Monarch's.ac--
cession'to the throne, and sometimes` without the
King, in cases where the marriages have bean
contracted subsequent to the accession.' It would
he unnecessary for us to repeat the instances he
produced, which will be found-in our report of
,the . proceedings before the Council. Mr.
BroughaM's speeCh contains more information
Upon thii'delicate
.and interesting ,subject than
has prabably ever been condensed into so .4rnall*
a -space, and.it will, we doubt not, be hereafter-
-regarded as the completest and most satisfactory
guide to the knowledge of the coronal
clairried'by the Queens Consort of England. it
has indeed never before, fallen to.the lot-of arty per-
son to feel the necessity of urging so laborious a
research-intothis particular subject, for it is the

_ We have received, through an express from
Madrid to Paris, advices of the `.6th ult. from
the Spanish capital. A -popular ferMent seems
to have been apprehended at the further date, on
account of the hesitation shewn by the King on
the convocation of an extraordinary Cortes. By
the 9(301, however, it was understoOd that the
point had been conceded by Ferdinand, and that
the convocation Was finally determined on for the
Ist October, by which the public minis bad been
restored to tranquillity. The appeal of General
Elio to the superior Court,of Valencia was-under
discussion, -and fears were entertained by the"po-
pnir party, that the
,judgment of the tribunal of
-the first instance, which had-condemned-him to
death, would-be rescinded: A considerable body
of troops had proceeded •to that city from
Aiadrid, to protect him from the fury of the po-
pulace, should his sentence be reverted.. The

new loan of the Spanish Government, which was
said in _letters from Paris to have been concluded,
is not yet contracted for. Some French capitalists
were at Madrid for the purpose of conducting the
e xpectell negociation, but several members of the
Cortes being opposed to its expediency, the ac-
tual adoption of the measure was far from being
conside'red certain. In the sales of the national
domains, for the extinction of the old debt, much
activity had been s'hown ; the whole amount
sold exceeded 800,000,000 -of reals (about
S,000,000?. sterling-Y. -One. letter states that the
Empecinado has been recalled from the pursuit of
Merino, who had become too insignificant to jus-
tify the employment of troops against him.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 2, 1821.

IMPORTANT QUESTION RELATIVE TO THE

TRIAL BY JURY.

woLrE, APPELLANT.

The appellant in this case was oneof the parties Who, together
with Kinnear and others, was indicted and convicted inthe
Court of King's Bench about a year and a half ago, fOc what
was at the time termed .the Commercial Conspiracy.- In the
course of the trial, it will be remembered, the Court ad-
journed, and the Jury, by the direction and- permisicn of
the Court, were allowed ,in the interval to go at large.: This
separation of the Jury was subsequently made the ground for
an application for anew trial, in Support of which sonic attempt
was made to show that one of the jurymen had been tampered
with, but it failed, the petty: who had sworn the afilthwit not
being to be fbund as described ;. the application, IROrev•er, was
refused, upon the &wind' that no proof had been giVen that city
.injury had been sustained by the party in consequence of the
Jury having Se'parated, thus leaving the question of law, whe-
ther or no the Jury could legally be allowed to separate before
-verdict given it a-criminal case,. wholly untouched. A writ of
error wain nobs was subsequently obtained, and the case
heard before the Judees, who delivered the judgment sub ' si-
lentio, as it is- termedi7i. e; Without-assigning.. their reasons, af-
firming the previous decision of.the Court of King's Ilench, re-
fusing the new trial. In this manner the case cause on by writ
of error in. the 'House of liirds, On Monday, for the reversal of.
the.whble. proceedingsl upon the assumption.of theillegalityof
the separation of the Jury. . .
- After hearing the arguments of Counsel on both sides,

The Loan CHANCELLOR rose to deliver his opinion Upon
the case, which involved a question' in his judgment, of the
highest importance, and requiring the most mature and de...„
liberate consideration of their Lordships, lest in their decision
they might-be-found to trench upon the very ConStitution itself.
Before he proceeded to •obser ye upon-the question, he conceived
it important to draw their Lordships' attention to the form
and manner in Which the case came before' them. Their
Lordships, when acting judicially, were a Court eof Appeal,
not to make laws, but to declare-what the law realty was, by
reversing or confirming the judgment given in the Courts
below; but, from the consideration he lead been, able to bestow,
4 did not appear that any decision upon the question of
laW had been delivered by the Judges. His Lordship 'then
took a view of the proceedings in the'case, and remarked upon
the circumstance' that the new trial.had been refused upon the,
ground, as appeared from the opinions expressed .by two of.the
judges, whose speeches he quoted, that no injury had been
sustained, as no proof, had b-een given that the Jury had been
tampered with. Without meaning' tee slightest disrespect to
the Learned Judges who had espresso this opinion, he must be
permitted to differ .froin'thir reasoning, as he could conceive
the possibility, - and even. the probability; of - the party's having _
actually, sustained injury without the capability of even knowing
the fact; and still lets of being able to give it in proof. " An huh-
vidual might tamper with aJuryman without the fact being know •
to any one but themselves; and such tampering was in law a
misdemeanor, both in the Jurynian'and the person tampering
with him, they would no doubt, as was their interest, take every
precaution that the fact should. not be disclosed. It was clear,
therefore, that injury might have been sustainedhidthout the
possibility of proving the fact t and as it was also dear that
this possible injury arose out of the fact of the Jury's being
permitted by the Court to separate 'after they had been sworn,
and before verdict given, it was of-the highest importance that
the opinion of the Judges on the question of the legality, of
the-separation of the Jury should have been made known.—
The question of law had, however, been avoided altogether in
the decision of-the Court against granting ajiew trial. To obtain
the-decision of the Court upon this point recourse had been
had to the writ of error coram nobis, but the Judges had in
that. case delivered their judgment sub • silentio ; their- Lord--
shipS were therefore left without any opinion whatever of the
Judges upon the law of the question. He did not intend by
these observations to east the smallest reflection upon the Judges
of the land, whom he pronounced to be as pure. and as honour-
able as'any Judges that had at.any time graced the bench; he was
aware that the practice:Of deciding, where it wits possible, upon
the facts of thesase, without touching the law of • the question,
had prevailed fbr
.some length of time; it had been introduced
by that great man Lord Illansfield, and he did not - mean to
deny but that the !practice had; 'in most instances, been -pro-
ductive of considerable convenience and benefit to parties
by promoting the dispatch, of' business if but there. were
cases in which great injury might' be complained of where
delay was essential. to the furtheranee of the ends of justice
and the laws of , the land. ~In the •present case, through the
adoption of this practice, their Lordships were called upon,
not to reverse or confirm a judgment in law delivered in the
Courts below,-for no opinionon the law had been given by the
Judges, but .to decide the question of law themselves. rThia he
considered was- not within the province of that House, Fes the
High- Court of •Appeal; and would amount to the making of a
law upon the subject, which, in that-House, as one branch only
of the Legislature, would be an .assumption of unconstitutional
atithority,
.11.6 fell it, therefore, of the greatest importance, and I
absolutely necessary,- before. their Lordships could decide this
queation, that the Judges should be called upon to give their
opinions.whether or no it was legal to permit a.jury sworn to, try a
cause to separate before verdict given; and he wished it to be un-
derstood thatin- every case of appeal before that House; where
the Judges had omitted giving their opinions. upon the law et,
the question below, he should move that they be called upon to 1
deliverthird in that House. He did not mean to say that their
Lordships would be bound by the opinions the Judges Might
deliver ; their Lordships_ might probably. differ, but by hearing
the Judges they would have that before them upon stanch they
could with propriety act as a Court of Appeal, and it would
be the duty of their Lordship.( to give their judgment: whether
or not the 'law had been rightly propounded by the Judges. He
had no hesitation in declaring his feelingkapon the subject; it
was-One upon Which he had bestowed yfeat consideration; his
attention having been drawn .to similar question some years
ago, when lie had the misfortune to be engaged in the trials of
'Messrs. Hardy, Horne Took, • and Thelwall. In his inquiries
upon that occasion,' he could find • but one instance in- which
a Jury, after being- charged, had been allowed by the
Court to separate and go at -large before verdict
.given ; that
was the case Of Elizabeth Canning; but in that instance the
Jury separated-with the consent of both parties. Upen this case
it was not .thought proper to act, on the occasion of the trials to
which he had alluded ; and he would add, that the Learned Judge
who presided, Lord Chief Justice Eyre, was a man whcse judg-
ment, integrity, and uprightness had never been questioned. He
did_ not mean to contend that cases might not occur in which the
Jury might legally separate, as the illness of one of the jurymen,
or any other act of Gal buthe Was of opinion, unless sonie strong
necessity could be .shown,: that such senaration., ought not to.
be allowed it was clear that danger and injury might. be sus-
tallied, and it was - therefore proper to guard against even the
possibility of tampering with any of the Jurymen, which could
only be effected by keeping them together without. the means
of having communication. The appellant in this case, he ura.
derstood, -was in prison ; he regretted it ; but his situation •or
conduct would not weigh-in, his judgment : he had now been
forty years practising in the law in the higher branches, and hod
forbid he should have yet to learn, that everyman was consi-
dered-innocent in law until he was legally found guilty. • The.
appellant complained that-he had nothad the law ,justly ad-.
-ministered in his case ; . and he (the Lord Chanaelloo• felt,, that
whatever Might be - his Situation, he was legally.and justly en,
titled to It. His •LOrdship 'Concluded by moving; • that the
twelve Judges-be directed: to attend that House. on Friday next,
at twelve o'clock, which.was ordered accordingly. -

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT happened yesterday
afternoon, at the house of Messrs.. Peter, William,
and George Wynne; stationers, 45, Paternoster-
row. -Some plumbers being employed taking up
the old lead out of the 'gutter on the :.top of the
building, in order to -replace if with new=, in
tearing up the lead which was fa§tened under
the brick-work, the coping stone and part of the
parapet wall fell on the scaffolding; which was
unsupported by poles, the boards resting on
planks which projected out at the third- floor
windows, and the -out ends being fastened with
ropes to the parapets, the scaffolding,: in conse-
quence, with four men; fell to the ground, to-
gether ,with a quantity rof stone, bricks, and
boards ; two of the men were .killed on the
spot, the other twv :were dreadfully mutilated
and carried to the hospital, where one of them
shortly expired ; the other is not expected to
live ; a fifth, wird was on the scaffold at the
time, saved hitriself by clinging to one of the
planks, and succeeded in gelting in atone of the
windOws. There was a horse and cart standing
in the street before the house at the time, but on
the first part of the rubbish falling, the horse
ran off; the cart was paetly- broke, and a man
wile +stood in it:was much hurt, from som4.of the
bricks falling on him.

represented by those who have heard it in this
country as being-, a very delightful, instrument,
combining the sweetness .of the flute and clarionet
with the energy of life horn and bassoon, and
yielding a full and rich harmony,- resembling an
orchestra of wind instruments. This surprising
effect is said to be produced by the most simple
combination of a range of wooden staves

made already last autumn a very 'S'ucceSs-
ful essay to manufacture a substitute for stone-
plates. The prints of a• drawing with a pen,
_taken from such a substitute plate of a large
folio size, are perfectly Clear and distinct. Such
a plate weighs 'three ounces ;' Whereas a stone
plate of the same size, one-inch' and a half thick,
weighs 21. pounds. , . - •
MEctla NicAL. KuhallVesky,
of Warsaw, a very excellent mechanist, has pro-
duced -the following inventions, viz. 1. A Thresh..
AlarOze, which has
,the advantage of being
very simple in its construction, durable, economic,

and not expensive, and is likewise superior to
every contrivance hitherto formed for this pur-
pose, being the only one that injures neither the
stalk nor the grain, in separating the former
from the latter. The machine consists of several
wheels, two of which (one at either end) are
furnished with .1S these are pat in motion
by one man as he walks to and fro within the
machine; and thus a single labourer is enabled to
perform the work of a great number. The most
complete success has attended -the experiments
that have been made, and there can be no doubt
of the efliCiency of the invention..

2. A Sawing Mill, which is a Iso• worked by a
Single person, without any assistance from water.
An. Astronomical Watch; which indicates
the difference of time in the principal places in
different parts of the globe : this has been ac-
cepted as a present by the Emperor Alexander,
who has s-nt M. Knhawesky, in return, a Magni-
ficent snuff-box, and has assigned him a suns to
enable him to continue his important labours.
PROPH ECIES. "- Counsellor LillietlS:teiti, of
Frankfort on the Maine, has published a very
singular work, in which he attempts to prove, as,
gumentatively and methodically, that the Predic
tions respecting Anti-Christ are now on the eve of
being accomplished. Anti-Christ, he asserts will.

ten yews of religious wars, after v hick the mil-
leniuns, as he assures us, is to commence in 1836.
