THE JACK O'LANTERN (LE FEU-FOLLET) ; OR,
THE PRIVATEER. BY J. FENJMORE COOPER, ESQ..
—The sea novels of this accomplished: writer have
ever been favourites with the public, and this latest
addition to the stock will add, we think, to his wellr
earned reputation. The scene of the exploits of Le
Feu-Follet is the Mediterranean sea, the time 1798
and -1799, stirring and teeming years of great events.
Raoul Yvard, the gallant commander of the trim and
meteor-like Jack o'Lantern, is the hero of the tale;
while the heroine is the lovely and pious Ghita Carac-
cioli. Yvard's mind is inextricably entangled with
the infidel principles which then shed their cold and
lurid influence over the French Republic, 'whose flag
he served with intrepid daring. The gentle Ghita,
again, a humble but firm believer in the doctrines of
the Catholic Church, while she loves Yvard with all
a woman's devotion, refuses, to unite her fortunes with
hi.; while he continued to disown the God she wor-
shipped. The efforts of Yvard, not to overcome her
faith, which he respects in her, but to obtain her
hand, lead him to seek her in places beset
by English cruisers, and he ultimately becomes a
prisoner, by entering the British frigate Proserpine,
in the guise of a Capri boatman, where he is tried
and condemned to death as a spy, but, is reprieved by',
Nelson, and escapes, though to fall in- a gallant de-
fence against his pursuers. These events furnish the,
grand and stirring theme of the tale, and the pen of
the author of " 'fhe Pilot" depicts in such glowing,
and vivid terms the chase and the battle, the boarding
and the burning, and all the peculiarities of naval
strife, that even landSmen like ourselves kindle with'
the dauntless enthusiasm of the gallant tars. But we
need not attempt to give an outline of a story which
all will read for themselves.; and for the same reason
we regret the less that we cannot transfer to our
columns some passages we had marked, in which our
gallant Nelson occupies a prominent part.-;--Caledo-
nian Mercury.

THE SUN, 140.NDMV-MOND A Y .tV EKING, DECEMBER 5, 1842.

placed in a similar situation with Mr. Howard, for
there was no knowing to what extent a tyrannical
House of Coremons' might push the doctrine of privi-
lege. He called upon the Jury to vindicate the
majesty of. the law by, giving Mr. Howard ample
damages. The Learned Gentlemen then called the
following witnesses:— .
Mr. 1: J. G. Pearce examined by Mr. KELLi—In
the year 1840 I was a clerk in the employ of plaintiff.
Plaintiff was an attorney. I knew he had been
the attorney in several actions which had been brought
againsfMr. Hansard. Plaintiff, in February, 1840,
lived at 7, Norfolk-street, Strand. His familyconsisted
of his wife, son, and 'daughter. I was at his house,
on the evening of the 4th of February, .1840.
At abonf.a quarter before seven some one came to
door as I .was going out with Mr. Howard, jun.
The defendants .Btein and Bellamy came to the door.
They said they had a warrant from the Speaker of
the House of • Commons to search the house for Mr.
HoWard. I asked to see their warrant, and upon their
showing me the, warrant I went up. to inform Mrs.
Howard that two of the officers of the'House of Com-
mons were come to search for Mr. Howard. The
officers were allowed to go Over the houseimmediately.
Plaintiff Was not at home at
.that time. I accom-
paniedune of the officers with a light. It was Bel-
lamy. We went up stairs to the top of the house. He
went into the various rooms. They went into every
room of the- house. There were cupboards in some
of the rooms: They opened the cupboard-doors.
They went into the cellars also. Among other places
Bellamy went into the drawing-room. There were
five ladies there. Mrs. Howard, and her daughter,
and three' visitors. Mrs. Howard had been ill some
months before that. Bellamy apologized for coming.
in. He said it was his duty to search. Mrs. Howard
said Mr. HoWard was not in the house. Bellamy
looked under the sofa, and into the chiffonier. The
chiffonier is a large one with folding-doors. We
were a very short time in the drawing-room. When he
had completed the search he came down stairs into the
passage. I took him down into the kitchens and cel-
lars. He then went into the small yard. Bellamy said
he was satisfied Mr. Howard was not there. I showed
Bellainy into Mr. Howard's private office, and he
afterwards came into the front office. He said to Mr.
'Toward, jun., he was satisfied that his father was not
in the horse, but that they had orders to remain until
his return. Young Mr. Howard said that if they re-
mained, his father not being there, they would be com-
mitting a trespass. They said they had orders to re-
main until he did come home, if it was for some days.
Lord DENMAN—Did they say days ?
Witness—They had orders to remain until Mr.
Howard didcome. Something was said about days
or a week, but Ido not recollect. They were in the
front office. I left about eight. More of the other
defendants had then come in. I was away about
thtree hours and a half. Mrs. HoWard had requested
me to come back. I did not perceive that she was
particularly alarmed. She desired me to come back
to sit up with the officers, as it was likely they would
stay all night. On my return, I saw defendants Stein
and Mitchell. went into the office, and remained
with them about half an hour. Mr. Bellamy came
back again in the course of the night. Ido not re-
collect who came back with him, but there was a
fourth came in with him. Young Mr. Howard came
in, accompanied by the son of Mr. Curwood, the bar-
rister. Mr. Howard, jun., stated he had consulted
Mr. Curwood,,,who said theyhad no right to be there,
and he could turn them out if he liked. They did
not go away. Somebody came in a cab at about
twenty minutes past-one: The person said he wanted
to speak 'to Mr: •Bellamy, and Bellamy went out.
Bellamy returned, and said they had orders to with-
draw, and they did withdraw at twenty minutes past
one. They had had something to eat and drink during
• • •
the eve,niog.). . .
Cross-exaMined by the ''ATTOWNEY-GENtRALI
had been clerk to Mr. Howard about two Years. I
had been in" the army. did not know where Mr.
Howard was at that time. There had, been inquiries
made after him before. 'He was keeping out of the
way, no doubt. He had not been in the ,house for a
long, time before. I condUcted 'Stein and Bellamy
into every room in the house. There was no breaking
of any, doors or locks. Everything was done on both
sides in a very civil manner. Mr. Howard, jun.,
entertained them to supper. They did not insist on
having that. I studiously took them into every room
in the house. Bellamy saw the door leading to the
leads, and asked 'to go there. I-took him to places
which he had not suggested. 'pointed out every place
where a person could be concealed, well knowing Mr.
Howard in none of them. From the beginning
to the end there was nothing like incivility, or
ill-
feeling' on' either side. There were four or five
actions brought by Mr. StOckdale against Mr. Han-

mons, who said he had come to search for Mr.
Howard. He searched the' room. Mrs. 'Howard
told him that Mr. HoWard was not in the house. She
did not say anything about searching the house.
Mrs. Howard appeared to be very' much agitated.
I remained there all night:
By the COURT--Mrs: Howard went to bed. I
slept in the house.
Mr. Howard, jun.--I am
.plaintiff's son. In 1840
I was his clerk. .I was in his house on the evening
of the 4th of February. I remember Stein and
Bellamy coming to the door. Bellamy had a chain
round his neck: Pearse and I were going out, and
they came in. He asked me if my ,father was at
home ? I told him no, and then they searched the
house. While Bellamy was up stairs Stein remained
in the office with me. I told him he- ought to be
ashamed of himself, that my mother was very ill, and
it would make her worse.. When Bellamy came
down I said, "Well, have you found' him ?" -1-le said
"No." I said, "Well then, you can go," and he re-
plied, "Oh, no; we must remain here until he
returns, if it is ever so long." I had a letter from my
father .about seven o'clock. It was known persons
had been imprisoned by the House of Commons on
these matters. He .he.d some business he was obliged
personally to attend to. I communicated the contents of
the letter to the defendant. It was as follows:

"My dear Son—l have nearly completed the busi-
ness I had to do. I shall return to-morrow (Thurs-
day) morning, and shall attend the House, as I per-
ceive from the papers that I am wanted. If any one
should come from the ,House show them this."

They received the letter and returned it. Captain
Gossett was seen after in a cab with Mitchell. Cap-
tain Gossett asked if Bellamy had received the war-
rant ; he said he had not. Captain Gossett said "you
had better read it, and then you will be authorised."
Bellamy did read it, and that was the first time I had
seen the warrant. By Bellamy's desire I showed
Captain Gossett the letter. He read it, and said to
the defendants, Stein and Mitchell, " Oh, you must
remain ;" and he returned me the letter.
He went away, taking Bellamy with him. I
went to Mr. Curwood's, and returned with his son,
at about half-past 11. I found Mitchell and Stein in
possession. Pearce had at that time returned. I
told them that Mr. Curwood said that they were com-
mitting a trespass, and that we might kick them out
if we chose ; and said that if we had sufficient force,
we would do so. I went to, seek assistance from the
police to get them out, but they would not interfere.
I returned, and said,
_" It appears you will remain,
and although you are committing a trespass, we must
treat you like gentlemen." I

COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.)

The plaintiff is

a merchant and landowner in the
island of Jersey, and brother of the French Consul
there. The defendant is the proprietor of the Standard
newspaper ; and the present action is brought. to re-
cover damages for injury done to his character by an
imputation of fraudulent practices in the corn trade
between, Jersey and Great Britain. The alleged
libel,was, contained in a letter signed "A Loyalist,"
and published in the Standard of the 14th March
last, in which the writer affirmed that the plaintiff
was in the habit of importing Prussian and French
corn into the Channel islands as if for consumption
there, under which pretence it was imported duty
free; and that he exported the same corn to England,
where it was again admitted duty free as Jersey corn.
A witness, M. Gragnean, from Jersey, was exa-
mined to show that the arrangements respecting the
trade in corn to and from Jersey were so strict that
the fraud alleged could not be committed.
The Jury found for the plainfiff—Damages2o)/.
