CHARLESTON PAPERS, Fzi. 4.

The Legislature of this State adjourned at six o'clock
on Wednesday evening last.
A most solemn and affecting scene was witnessed on
that day in the Senate Chamber. A Message was re-
ceived from the Senate, informing the House, that the
High Court of Impeachment had come to a decision in
the case of Judge James, and was ready to pronounce
its judgment.
On the demand of the House, it was resolved that the
House should forthwith attend in the Senate Chamber,
and a message to that effect was sent to the Senate.
'Upon the return of the Messenger, the Speaker rose ;
and, follosed by all- the Members, proceeded to the
Bar of the Senate, where he demanded judgment upon
the impeachment pretetred in the name rat the people
'of SOuth•Carulina against the Hon. William Dobein
James, a Judge of the Cuurt of Common Pleas.
Mr. James was called in, and took his seat at the
Bar. He was supported by Mr. Stake, the Secretary
of State, on the one hand, and by his son on the other.
His situation was calculated to excite the sympathy of
the Assembly. He stood a feeble, afflicted, forlorn,
old man, with a family dependent entirely on his salary
Jot. support.

duty to pronounce that the Honourable W. D. Jame•
iliad been to Ind guilty of the first and second aiticies
.preterred against him, and that the sense ce of the
'Court was, that he be removed from his officc of Judge

ISLE OF MAN—CORN.
Mr. CURTEIS said, that seeing the Secretary to the
Board of Trade in his place, he was desirous to ask hills
1a question connected with his office. He understood
.that the Isle of Mau, which had always been subject
to the same Corn Laws as existed in this country, had
'by accident been omitted in the last Bill that was passed.
The consequence was, that great quantities of corn were
imported from Liverpool to the Isle of Man when the
Act was not in force. He had applied to the office,
,when he was told that no such trade was carried on ;
.but the Returns from the Custom-house proved dis-
inc tly that there was, and that o.e importation amounted
to some thousands of quarters a week. He wished
to know from the Right Honourable Gentleman whe-
ther the trade was nuw going on, and H hether some
regulation could not be made to ptevent it?
4r. T. F. LEWIS said that the Hon. Gentleman

bad rightly stated-the imperfection of the law, which
was.entirely owing to the loss of the Corn Bill last Ses-
sion. lie might re,t assured, however, that what. ver
Bill was brought in this year, care would be taken to
correct that inaccuracy. With respect to the existence
of such a trade between Liverpool and the Isle of Man,
he could state to the Ilon..Gentlentan, that the last in=
quiry he had made on the subject was as recent as the
19th of February, up to which period the trade was
cart) ing on at the rate of 4,500 quarters a week. This
was the quantity imported into the Isle of Man, but no
portionot it was re=imported again into Liverpool.—
Thinking thAt a remarkable circumstance, be wrote
again to know how the corn had been disposed of ; but
whether it was embarked in any of the ships in the
Channel, or was still kept in the hie of Man to be sent
back at a future period, he Was not able to ascertain.
Cate snould be taken to avoid such an inaccuracy in the
nett Bill, as he had already informed the Honourable
Ge'ntleman.

JpNATLIAN: TQL
Mr. LUMLEY moved the Order of the Day for
calling Jonathan Fox to the bar to be discharged. He
WAS accordingly placed, at the bar, when the-SRsAxert
addressed him to the following effect :
" Jonathan Fox—The offence for which you were committed
to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate was that of wilfully suppressing
the truth when you were examined before a Committee of the
House of Commons. The offence was one of enormous magnitude.
It is obvious that if, it had been overlooked, the ends of justice
would have been deteated,and the dignity of the House impaired.
The House, therefore, bad no other course to pursue than that upon
which it has acted. Since your committal, you have approached
this House-with a Petition, in which you have alluded to the
delicate state of your health, expressed sorrow for your offence,
and prayed to be discharged, in consideration of your infirmities
and your re;wntaace. It is because this House believes that your
health is deticate—because it believes that the feeling of regret you
have expressed-sincere, and the amendment you have promised,
intended and probable—it is for these reasons that they have ac-
ceded to the prayer of your petition; and they are confident, that
in doing so, theft motives cannot be mistaken by you or by any one
