NORFOLK CIRCUIT—CAMBRIDGE, Aua. 3.

This afternoon Mr. Baron GARROW and Mr. Justice
JAMES PARKE arrived in this town, and proceeded to the
Shire-hall to open the Commission previous to going to
their lodgings. Their Lordships were very much affected
upon hearing the intelligence of the sudden death of Mr.
Baron HULLOCK.

The calendar in this county is extremely light when
considered numerically, but some of the charges are marked
with acts of great atrocity, particularly that against
Reader and Turner for arson. Their trial is expected
to come on to-morrow, and it creates great interest. There
are several causes for trial in the Civil Court.

The following. is a summary statement of the various
offences with which the prisoners for trial stand charged,
viz.:—Arson, 2 ; burglary, 2 ; sheep-stealing, 3 ; horse-
stealing, 1; larcenies, 2—Total )0.

FURTHER EXTRACTS from Mr. O'CON-

NELL'S SPEECH AT CLARE.

(From the Dublin Register.)

Mr. O'Connell proceeded as follows :—" At the
same time that I avow that I shall be ever ready to
support the right of every man to avow and prac-
tice his religious creed, I shall never sanction the
filthy and abominable compromise which the East
India Company have entered into for the purpose
of supporting their monopoly, by permitting the
bloody sacrifices that are offered up to the stupid
idol of Juggernaut.—(Hear, hear.)—l shall also
oppose myself to the horrible system of perjuries
at present sanctioned by practice. There are at
present no less than 1,700 or 1,800 oaths necessary
to be taken, and nine-tenths of these relative to the
Customs and Excise laws. The oaths taken on
that subject are looked upon as matters of course,
and perjuries are not regarded, because they are of
frequent occurrence,—just as if the repetition
of the crime did not aggravate the enormity
instead of lessening it. I mean to apply
for a return of the oaths necessary to be
taken for the purpose of abolishing them.
In the presence of the people of Clare I avow, that
I condemn the taking of oaths by any man, or be-
fore any authority, and the man who is not honest
without taking an oath, will not become so by its
being imposed upon him.—(Hear, hear.)—The sub-
letting act, which makes it impossible for the coun-
try gentleman to increase his estate, which would
make the sons of farmers labourers, and which, ac-
cording to the statement of the Rev. Mr. Stewart,
at Tyrone, sent 25,000 Protestants out of that
county in the course of one year—l shall endeavour
to procure the repeal of.—(Hear.)—The Vestry
Bill which, for instance, in the parish of Scariff, en-
ables seventeen or eighteen of one religion to assess
and tax 7,000 or 8,000 of another to any amount
they please—is an act of such gross injustice that
1 trust I shall find no difficulty in procuring its re-
repeal.—(Hear, and cheers.)—The next topic upon
which I would address you is that of Parliamentary
Reform, and I declare myself a radical reformer,
and an advocate and sincere supporter of the elec-
tion by ballot ; and I would point to America as an
example for the success of a biennial Parliament."
Mr. O'Connell next alluded to the reform necessary
to be introduced into the law, and continued by say-
ing—" I have lately seen in the English press hor-
rible imputatiOns thrown out against a Prince of the
Blood Royal—the name of Captain Garth and the
Duke of Cumberland have been mixed up together.
I shall endeavour to clear the character of the
brother of my Sovereign from the imputations cast
upon it. lam no respecter of persons, and, believ-
ing that the Duke of Cumberland is innocent, I shall
stand up in my place in the House of Commons, and
insist upon an investigation into that affair, and let
them refuse it to me if they dare."—(Hear,and con-
tined cheering.)
Three cheers were then given for the High Sheriff.
The several gentlemen now proceeded to retire
from the Court, but previously Major Macnamara
publicly intimated that he would be a candidate at
the next election.

The chairing shortly after took place. It was
one of the most extraordinary scenes ever witnessed.
There were a number of banners, with appropriate
mottoes, and devices were exhibited in several win-
dows. Amongst the spectators who gazed with the
greatest interest were the military officers. Several
of them were observed to wave their caps from the
windows. The soldiers and police were kept out
of the way. There was not the slightest violation
of the public tranquillity. All was order and the
most imperturbable good humour.
