by Mr.

Scrjeant Hammon,. of the Royal Artillery, described the Ira-.
dons materials of which the grenades were composed, and for
the purpose of conveying more accurate idea to the Jury, one
of them wan opened in Court.' The instrument used by the
Serjcant for this purpose was a knife, and, Mr. Guaxer having
suggested the possibility of an explosion, it excited some trepi-
dation, particularly among the Ladies present. This apprehen-
don, however, ceased, on the assurance of the witness that there
was no danger.

The Arrow;Ey-GENERAL then said, that was the
case for the prosecution.
Mr. CURWOOD immediately rose, and, in an able
speech, advocated the cause of the prisoner; against
whom, he contended, neither the charge cf imagining
the death of the king, or of cobspiring to levy war,
or of having actually levied war, had been prayed.
The following witnesses were then called on the
part of the prisoners;

Maur Rumen, the daughter of the prisoner Tidd.
Enwsan laucesessons, an acquahnanee of the informer
Dwyer, to whose character he spoke.
Joss:en DOAN*, the Court Reporter.
ANDREW 11frrenett, pruner. • •
And JON* WIIITAZEIL

The case for the prisoner being closed,
Anournes said, that, considering the solemn duty he had
to perform, he felt it necessary to make a request to the Court,
which, he was confident, would be complied with, if, consist,-
ently with the convenience of their proceedings, it were possible.
lie requested that their Lordships would now adjourn the Court,
in order to give him an opportunity of considering the multi-
farious points connected with this important case.
Chief-Baron liscsains.—You wish, I suppose, to postpone
your address to the Jury until to-morrow ?

Mr. Asot.runs.—Yes, my Lord. There is almost &total want
of preparation, on my part, in consequence of the shortness of titne
since I was retained. I therefore labour under considerable
difficulties.
Lord Chief Justice Aaaovv.—lt must be the anxious wish of
the Court that every Indulgence 'honk' be granted to the unfor-
tunate man at the bar ; and, if we even go on now, it is very,
doubtful whether we can conclude the whole of the btuiness.—
My wish, however, is to study the convenience of the Gentle-
men of the Jury as much as possible. At the same time, I do'
not think that we ought to proceed hastily with a case which'
concerns the life of an individual.

Mr. AtomismT, one of the„ Juror, observed, that it was the
opinion of himself and the other Jurors, that their own coo•
venience ought not for a moment to be puf in cos petitioa with
the duty which they owed to the public and to the prisons' at
the bar.

Lord Chief Justice Aisorr.—That expression is exactly what
I expected from you. We are not, however, come to that hoar
when, under other circumstances, we ought to stop. I think,
however, that the administration of justice will be better cox-
z.ulied by allowing Mr. Adolphus time till to-morrow.
The FOR [MA N.-My Lord, as some doubt is thrown on the
cvideuce of the witness Dwyer, I and my brother Jurors would
be better satisfied if Major James, or some person from, the
Secretary of State's Office, were called to corroborate the truth
of the statement which the witness has made, relative to his
communicating the designs of the parties.

Lord Chief Justice Assorr.—lf this trial be adjourned, the
Attorney-General will have an opportunity of considering that
point; but I am not sure whether such a course can be taken.
Mr. Goasev.—Certainly it cannot. The case fir the prose-
cution is closed, and it remains for the other side to contradict
the testimony of Dwyer.
The Juryman reiterated his suggestion.
Lord Chief Justice ARlOTT.—Perhaps it would be biker for
the present to forbear saying anything more on that subject.—
An opportunity will be afforded to all the pagies, at a future
time, to make their obtervatiins on it.

The Court then adjourned, at a quarter past six o'clock, until
Mae o'clock this morning.

THIS DAY.

?ht public interest seemed somewhat more excited
this day than usual, from the great probability of
the Trial's being concluded. So early as seven o'clock
a number of persons were assembled in the Old Bailey,
and several had obtained admission into Court. At
eight
.o'clock, Mr. Sheriff RontraLL was in Court,
superintending the arrangements necessary for the

convenience of those Gentlemen, whose duties or
curiosity had occasioned their attendance. Nothing
din exceed the urbanity of this Gentleman, nor his
attention to the numerous applications which are
made to him. To the Gentlemen connected with the
Press, he has shewn the most polite attention, and
made every arrangement for their accommodation
which the size of the Court, and the natural anxiety
which a trial for High Treason excites, will permit.

At ten minutes past nine o'clock, the Lot 4 Chief
Justices offthe King's Bench and Common Pleas,
Baron RICHARDS and Mr. Justice RICHARDSON, took
their seats on the Bench, when the prisoner Thistle-

ion&

wood was brought in. He looked much paler ana • I
I more dejected than on the two preceding days.
I .The Clerk of the Arraigns read over the names
Of thelorymen, to which they respectively answered.

Thistletrood then addressed the Bench—"My
Lordss I hope you will grant me the same indul-
gence I have hitherto been allowed, that of a.chair."
' LORD CHIRP JUSTICE.--44 0, yes, certainly."
The ATToasicy7Gfecaaprose and sated, .that
MajOrlis net,"*Niie attendance bneiihh'e Jurymen
had last night expressed a' vr4l2 fort was now is
otitt, but -hd (die AitOrnel.benecal) did not cos-
ceive that it would be regular for him to call on
11 Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that as he was not aware
that the examination of Major James would he of
any service to the prisoner, he declined calling on him.
At twenty minutes past nine cy'clock Mr. A
putts commenced his defence for the prisoner, iR
which he was still engaged when our Reporter reit
the Court at twelve o'clock.

Amongst the Noblemen and Gentlemen whor;
curiosity had attracted this day, we noticed t 1,7:
Marquis of HVNTLY, Lord KENSINGTON, Mr. Aide: -
man WAITHHANI and Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart. all
of whom bad seats on the Bench. The latter Gen-
tleman, on being recognized, became an object of
much attention. Seleral Ladies are in Court, Iliad
the gailerris more crowded than it was yelitt:rday.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Mr. ADO. LPHUS concluded his 'speech at ten mi-
nutes before one. It appeared to leave on all pre-
sent a stvng impression of his ability and clognence.
The CHIEF JUTICE then intimated to Thistle..,. 0c,..
that if he wished to address anything iron% himself z.
the Jury, now was the time.
Thistleinood, reading from *a paper in his hand,
said that 'there was a persowin Conn* who
prove that the witness Dwyer(l-lure he was pre-
ceeding to state something to the Rrejuoice of this
witness's credibility, when he was stopped).
The CHIMP` JOSTICE.—You cannot be allowed to
go into that now. The time for strewing anything in
evidence is *past. But if you have anything by way
of observation to say totheJury, you have now an
opportunity.
Thistlewood intimated that he-had nothing to say,
and sat down, yielding with respectful deference to.
the decision of the Court.

Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose to reply._
(Left speaking.) •

It is a singular, and indeed an extraordinary fact,
that the Right Hon. Joint FOSTER is the only Com-
moner now alive who sat in Parliament in the first
year of GEORGE 111. and is now returned to the first
Parliament of GEORGE IV.

A private letter from Paris states, that M. LAFITTE
has been removed from his station at the head of the
Bank, in consequence of his ultra-liberal opposition to
the Government ; and that this strong rot-anise has
produced a very greatssensation.
The PERSIAN AMBASSADOR lives in a retired man-
ner at Paris: he has parted with his jOir Circassian.
Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. WATSON TAYLOR gave a
grand dinner at their elegant new residence, at the
I corner of Harley-street, Cavendish-square. Among
the distinguished personages invited, the following
were present:
The ‘Earl and Countess Bathurst, Lord and Lady Castlereagh,
the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Melville, Mr. Robert Perk, 31r.
Huskissoo, Mr. Maarten Suttee, ate.
A public Meeting, to celebrate the Anniversary of
the Bloomsbury and Pancras Aux illiary Bible Society,
was yesterday held at Freemason's Hall, which was
numerously attend.
.The Report stated that 921
Bibles and Testaments had been distributed during
the last year, making in the whole a total of 6046 •
copies; and that the subscriptions amounted in the
whole to nearly 1:6000. J. BUTTERWORTH, Esq. M. P.
and other Gentlemen, advocated the claims of. the
Society in able speeches, and the Meeting adjourned.
ThftSubscription for the Performers whose dresses
or musical instruments were destroyed by the late fire
at the Exeter Theatre, amounted at its close to 1871.
Some of them, we believe, bave.gained by their loss.
Among the bills rejected by the promoters of the sub-
scription, was one for wigs, amounting, repot! lay s, to
above.lool.

Du t..—Wednesday, the 12th instant, an afair of
honour was adjusted in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris,
berween two English Gentlemen, Mr. B— and Mr.
D—; the former seconded by Captain H. S. S— pa;
the latter by Mr. C. D—w—N. Fortunately, nothing
fatal occurred ; and as it arose from some' insinua-
tions prejudicial to Mr. B—, propagated by his anta-
gonist, the latter ultimately gave up his author..
