Tt;is morning, at eight o'cl,,ck, the Sessions-
tiouse was opened, but, except the Officers of the
Court, there were not more than a dozen persons
Present ; however, in the course of the morning
the Court began to fill, and by 12 o'clock the
galleries were crowded with respectable looking
l'eople,A few minutes before nine o'clock
the Cummcos SEVJZANT, with Mr. Alderman
I.43IGHTON, the Sheriffs, the Attorney and
Solicitor Generals, with other Learned Coun. ,
lel, came into Court awl took their seats.—
At nine precisely, the Loan CHIEF BARON, Chief
I,►Vice DALLAS, and Mr. Justice RICHARDSON,
aPpe.iteti on the Bench. The Jury immediately
itriyt 41, entered the Box, and their names were
tailed over. The several prisoners were then
brought up, and James rags, whose trial did
conclude yesterday, was again put to the
gat, and the other prisoners placed in three rows
hehiud hiM. 'the several implements of destruc-
tion, produced on the former trial, were brought
into Court, 64,11(1 every thing being now ready,
beniel Bishop, the Bow-street Officer-, was ex-
stained by Mr. Gu RNEY k his evidence Was of the
lame niture as that given before, relatiug to the
*rehension of Thistle wood. This wi.ness was
l'oss-exanlined by Mr. Abor..px us at some length.
George Thomas Rutliven was next examined.
D►ttring the examination of this Officer, the pri-
soners appeared very attentive, and I ngs denied a
part of Ruthven's testimony.—John Hector Moe..
rison, a cutler, was next put in the witnesses' box.
Taunton, the Police-ofiSeer, was also examined
11 Mr. GUILNIM as was Serjesnt Anson, of the
Royal Artillery. At the conclusion of the testi.
biong of this witness, call the prisoners, except
logsmere taken out of Court; and the ATTORNsy-
(haulm, stated to their Lordships, that this was
the case on the part of the Crown. At a quarter
past ten, Mr. evavroors addressed the Jury on be-
half of the prisoner lugs ; be was proceeding to
advert to the trial of Thistlewood, but in this he

Was stopped hp the Chief Justice DALLAS. The

!.earned Gentleman then went on to investigate
the various Acts relative to the preven►ion ot High
Treason, particularly that ot the 25. ii of Edward
the Third, and also the 36th ot his late Majesty.
(Here some little Bela)* took place in consequence
of the Jury requesting tome of the Constables
that were near them should be iemoved.—
They were accordingly ordered into the
tare of the proper Officer, who took them

cut of Court.)—Mr. CURWOOD then con-
cluded an able speech by caning Thomas
Chambers, who was examined by' Mr. AooL-
itirtis- This witness underwent a close cross-,

exaniination by Mr. Guarrint. The next wit-
ness was Mary Barker, daughter of the prisoner
Tidd, by Mr. CUKWOOD, and cross•examined by
the SocsciToa-General. These- being all the
witnesses for the Defence, Mr ADot.Puus, at a
quarter past twelve, began his address to the Jury.
Re said, if they found the unhappy man at
the Bar guilty, it would be the last time in this
*odd he would have any one to peak in
ie favour, except his Lordship, who he
watt certain would, in his charge to them, take
*very opportunity of giving the unfortunate
roan every benefit humanity (consistent with
his duty to his God and Country) could sag.
test. The Learned Counsel concluded a most
able and argumentative speech, and the ATTOR-
Ifty.Getacaat. was about to reply when our Paper
*as put to Press.—The appearance of the pri-
'utters was decent, and their demeanour sbewed
resignation to their unfortunate situation.

In addition to the details respecting the intended
tieing at Huddersfield, are accounts from different
Parts of Yorkshire, all of which concur in stating,
that attempts at a general rising have not been
confined to Huddersfield or its neighbourhood. It
appears that the Radicals bad actually fixed on
Wednesday sennight for a general and simulta-
neous rising•in all the Northern Districts. Several
Alen are already committed to York Castle for
Treason, and arrests continue daily.—(Li-
