6cer to Golden-lane to apprehend the prisoner from informa-
tion which he had received. The prisoner was not in, and he
waited for him. The prisoner came about one o'clock, and he
immediately took him into custody. He found on him a pair
of pistols loaded with ball and powder and a stiletto. The sti-
letto was in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner pointed to a
chest in- his room, and gave him to understand it was the key
of it. They tried to open the chest, but could not, and it was
forced open. The first thing he saw in It was a blunderbuss.
There was also a belt round the prisoner's body containing ele-
ven doubloons. The prisoner was afterwards taken to Mr.
Peacock's office. Some papers were also found (which on being
handed to the interpreter) were' pronounced to correspond with
the directions of 'the packets. Som-d' paper fOUnd in the pri-
sonels'i box, of a pinkish colour, was the same as the letter
signed Joseph Gomez Pelayo. There were also some strips of
card which were Waterloo crackers, and which exactly .corres.-
ponded with those fotind in the letters. He also found a book and
a piece of card the same as found. (The interpreter read pelt of

Dr. William Reynolds deposed to having examined the pack-
ets, and found them to contain fulminating silver. He had no
doubt of it; he 'had tried it by several tests. This pOwder
was 10 to lin strength to gunpowder; He had exploded some
of the powder found in letter C; He should think the diSco-
louration of the exploded letter was produced by the explosion
of fulminating silver. 'He haft tried some, and found it pro-
duce similar appearances. The•powder, if.struck with a stamp
or anything else; would explode. The powder in the snuff box
was fuhninating•silver, and there was some coarsely powdered
glass. Glass was used to occasion friction in Waterloo crackers.
Cross-examined.—There were many kinds of fulminating
powder. There were two kinds of fulminating silver, one kind
exploded more readily than the other. There might. be many
folnainating powders which were not silver. Fulminating silver
would not be an incorrect description of fulminating powder.
Re-examined.—Fulminating silver was a powder which
would explode.
Mr. George Gill, surgeon, had attended at the postoffice on
the night of the explosion. He found the men Barnard in a
state of insensibility. He found fragments of paper in his face
and in his eye. His face was dreadfully lacerated. He ex.
tracted a portion of one of his finger nails from his cheek. He
also extraed brass nails from the fingers of his right hand. His
hand was lery much injured, and one of his eyes was completely
blinded, a portion of the paper being driven through the cornea.
He would never recover the sight of that eye.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. MURPHY said before he proceeded, he had some objections
to make to the indictment. The first count charged the pri-
soner with having in his possession " f air packets containing
divers materials, to wit a large quantity of fulminating silver,
and divers small particles of brass which exploded." Con-
necting the immediate sequenee of this sentence, with the last
antecedent, and the meaning of it was, that the packet contain-
ed particles of brass which exploded. The count then went
on to state that the packages were to go by the post, and that
theywere calculated to produce an explosion and endanger the
lives of these men. This was only an averment. The indict-
ment went on to say that these packets were "pit into the letter
box for the receipt of letters, to be sent by post." The meaning
of which was, that the letters were to be sent by post, which was
totally at variance with other parts of the indictment, which
stated it to have been done with a malicious intent. He con-
tended, therefore, that the first count was had. He took another
objection that the ounce was not , put under a videlicit, which
was material, as the weight had not been proved. In the se-
cond count he found that "the packets were so constructed and
made up, that on the opening thereof, or their.being struck with
any hard substance, the same would explode." The meaning of
which, to any unlettered mind would be, that the hard substance
would explode, and not the packet. This, and the pieceding
objection he had made, ran through all the counts. He con-
tended that the legal and grammatical construction of this was,
that the'substance was to explode.
The REcoitiona gave it as his opinion that this was not the
ease. If he were wrong, he was open to a writ of error. He
was clearly of opinion that these objections were merely verbal
and over critical.

The indictment charged the prisoner as Joseph Gomez Pe-
layo with having put four packets • into the letter-box, which
contained each one - ounce weight of 'fulminating silver and
small particles of brass, the prisoner' welt knowing that the
packets contained the aforesaid quantity of'the said materials,
and well knowing that such packets were likely to explode, and
if. they exploded,'were calculated to endanger human life ; and
whereby Daniel Barnard, being employed in the Postoffice to
stamp letters, was, in stamping these letters with the Postoffice
stamp. dreadfully scorched and wounded, and had one of his
eyes destroyed by a'dreadful explosion caused thereby ; where-
by the said Daniel Barnard had suffered great pain and an-
guish. • •
The interpreter was then directed to inquire if the prisoner
understood English ? at which the prisoner shook his head. He
was-then askedin Spanish if he understood Spanish, and re-
plied, " Yes."
On the indictment being translated to the prisoner, he said
the packets did not contain half an ounce of fulminating sit.
ver. After the indictment bad been interpreted to the prisoner,
he said he was Not Guilty. -
The jury was then sworn. •
'Mr. Venablee and Mr. Cottingham appeared for the crown,
and Mr. Murphy defended the prisoner.
:Mr. Cottingham read the indictment as above. There were
also several counts varying the indictment.
,Mr. \TEN ABL ES then opened the case. He said, by the read-
ing a the indictment, the court was almost put in entire pos-
session of the facts; which it became his duty to state to them.
He should endeavour, as concisely as possible, simply to state
the facts. sfite-,begged them to dismiss from 'their minds any-
thing which they might have heard respecting the transaction
out of court, and attend only to the evidence to be then pro-
duced. The facts of the ease would be clearly shown to them ;
it was only necessary for them, in his opinion, to attend to the
evidence to he given on oath, and they could come to uo other
conclusion, but that the prisoner was guilty. Let them, as En-
glishmen, try this man as they would an Englishman. The
learned 'gentleman then proceeded to detail the facts at length,
as they wilt be found in the following evidence of the witnesses.
William Augustine Bond deposed to being clerk in the Li-
verpool postoffice. He was on duty on Saturday, the 24th of
Sept. On the evening of that day he found six letters placed
on his desk ; he marked each of those letters, postage not paid,
in. red iok. It was customary to do so with,letters the postage
of which was not paid. The three packages produced were a
part of those. He enclosed two of the letters in one envelope,
and one in another. He did not know' the weight of the pack-
ages. He made the remaining three up in another packet, and
inclosed them in an an envelope, addressed to the dead letter
office. After this he left one of the letters on the stamping ta-
ble, and a packet. A person named Barnard was stamping let-
ters that evening in the postoffice, and he directed him to stamp
the letters on his desk. One of the letters produced was one
that he had stamped. He had stamped the packet containing
three letters himself, and put them in the bag. About twenty
minutes after lie had directed Barnard to stamp the letters
he happened to be looking at the stamping table when
he observed a stream 'of white vapour proceeding from it.
and at the same instant there was a tremendous explo-
sion. It put out the lights of the office, broke five squares of
glass, knocked one of the clerks down, and he saw Barnard
reel, turn half round and fall on his face. He went to him and
assisted him up. He found blood streaming from his face, and
his left hand first finger much lacerated.' He was conveyed
into an inner office, and a 'medical gentleman sent for. He
theu assisted in ricking up some envelopes of letters which
were strewed over the stamping-table and the floor. The frag-
ments produced were those found. Upon four of the fragments
his own writing was discernable. There was " postage not
paid," and " Inspector of dead letters, dead letter office, Lon-
don," in his hand-writing, on the fragments of the envelope.
He was employed in the Postoffice on the 23d. The three let-
ters produced were dropt into the receiver at the Postoffice on
the 2,3 d, between eight and ten in the morning. He knew that:
from the stamp. After the explosion Mr. Banning was made
acquainted with the circumstances, and it was decided to
send an express off to London to avoid accident with
those which had been sent off. One of the packet's which
had exploded was marked 2f oz. weight, and the other 24.
oz. 'rise interpreter was then directed to read-the directions of
the three letters which had been sent to the London Postoffice
on the Friday. One letter, marked A, was directed to " Eiji
most excellent Sir, Don Miguel, Governor of Havannah," with
the initials in the corner, E. S. P. M., being the initials in Spa-
nish for "to be delivered into his own hands." Another letter,
marked B, was similarly addressed to " Most excellent Sir, the
Captain-General Governor of Havannah." The third letter,
marked C, was add/ essed "to the Widow of the deceased Don
Ainanbranfo, Havannah." On the envelope of the letter A
was, " Of the greatest importance," and, in the corner, the ini-
tials of the prisoner, J. G. P. The signature of the letter was
Joseph Gomez Pelayo, and it was dated Liverpool, 22d of Sep-
tember, 1836. On the envelope of the fragments found was the
address. "to Don Carsa Noveilo, merchant, in Matanzas," with
the initials E. S. P. M. There was also another letter envelope,
bearing the same address. And another fragment of a direc-
tion, which was so torn as not to be perfectly readable. Some
letters found in the trunk of the prisoner were then handed to
the interpreter, and in one of them was found the addresses of
the various letters which contained the silver.
The witness was then cross-examined at some length on the
various parts of his evidence without eliciting any thing very
material. He knew that the letter which had exploded was the
one he had placed on the stamping table from the fragments.
He knew the letters which had gone to London had been put
in the postoffice between the hours of eight o'clock and ten on
Friday morning from the letter B in the stamp, which remained
always during those hours in the stamp.
Re-examined.---He could not tell whether the letter had
been stamped with unusual force from the stamp.
Mr. William James Page is a clerk in the 'dead letter office
in London. He went to the office on Monday morning, the,
26th of September. He found a package of letters on his desk,
and received at the same time a letter from Mr. Banning, which
he opened first. In consequence he opened the packets with
great care. He found in letter C a Waterloo cracker and a
small round packet of fulminating silver. If the packet bad
been opened in the usual way, he had no doubt it would have
caused the letter to explode. The packet of fulminating silver,
was a circular package, larger than a crown piece, two pieces`
of paper gummed together round the edges, and enclosing ful-i
minating silver. [The production of the silver in court caused
quite a sensation, and it was ordered to be taken out.] Upon•
the wafers of all three of the letters was'the impression -J. C. H.
If he had not received Mr. Banning's letter, he should have
opened the-letters in the usual course -of business. • .The letter
marked C was the only letter which contained the silver.
Michael Conway.—Knew the prisoner. He first saw him on
Tuesday, the 20th; soon after 12 o'clock. He came ashore from
the Virginia Packet. Witness showed him a lodging card, and
he said he wanted a room, with a lock and key, and he took him
to MIS. O'Hara's, in Teuiple-court, where he left him. There
Was a bolt inside his door. He was-to call on him next morning,
to go for him to the packet to get his trunk. The custom-house
officer was not on board, and he could not get his trunk. He
then came ashore, and he told him to show him the Post-office,
which be did, and prisoner said " that will do." ' They then re-
turned to the packet ship. The prisoner then went down into
the steerage, and got the box produced (something like a cigar
box). He then went with the box to the prisoner's lodgings,
and prisoner said he wanted to write a letter, and sent him for
some paper. They then went on board again to get prisoner's
trunk, and they got it from on board the ship. On the Friday
he called on the prisoner again between 9 and 10 o'clock,- and
they went down to the Saracen's Head, and Mr. Fox, the chief.
book-keeper spoke to the prisoner in his own language, and
forwarded the prisoner and his box to London for 30s. On the
Saturday morning he culled again on the prisoner, and he was
to call again at 3 o'clock, and he took his coach trunk down to
'the coach-office. The prisoner than told him to call on him at
6 o'clock to show him the Post-office, as he had some letters to
put in. It was 20 minutes to 7 before he called, and the pri-
soner was getting his tea. The prisoner than weiit up stairs,
and brought down something 'in a handkerchief. Hethen went
with him to the Post-office, and they were there about 7 o'clock,
and the prisoner put in several packages out of his handkerchief
into the Post-office; the prisoner said they were for a Spams • h

country.
. The witness was then cross-examined'as to several of the facts,
but nothing material was elicited. The reason the prisoner
wanted him to show him the office again was, he should not
be able to.find it. • The paper which he had got for the prisoner

Of peace and hope, my gentle one ! when meekly pressed to thine
" Take bkck, take back the cross or gold, our mother's gift to thee;

DAN'S Owri.—Dan's own super-superfine pis'ntry are to be
found everywhere, neat as imported; and nowherefiner, and in
greater abundance, than in the beautiful republic. The follow-
ing extract from the New York Courier will show their "innate
love of justice," &c. &c.

" On-Saturdav evening last, as the steam-boat Hercules was
about to leave the wharf at the Quarantine, on her last return
trip to this city, a number of Irishmen, who had spent all their
money and become• intoxicated; went in a tumultuous manner
and demanded to be admitted on board of the boat, and taken
back to the city free 'of charge. This being refused., they forced
the elite, and' endeavoured by violent efforts to enter the boat,
but "by the exertions of those within the enclosure, aided by
some on- board the boat, they Were 'driven 'back, outside of the
enclosure, breathing threats of vengeance. Retiring to the
boarding-house on the brow of the hill, where about 50 Irish
labourers boarded, they procured the assistance of all these,
and with this poWerful reinforcement, all armed with billets or
wood and stones, they renewed the attack with great fury, and
were met by the officers and hands of the steam boat, aided by
some of the villages, who hastily assembled, and who armed
themselves in like manner with billets of wood, to resist the
onset and punish the marauders. The Irish came on in a body,
lidded stones in' great numbers among the assembled citizens,
by which a number of them were hit and wounded, and then
with loud yells rushed to the attack of the steam-boat company,
with the mad fury-of inebriate savages, and levelled their billets
of wood at the heads of all who stood in their way. ,The
steamer's men and villagers were not slow to return the com-
pliment, which they did with interest; and after a severe fight,
during which 'several 'guns were 'fired, the Irish were driven
from the ground, leaving from 10 to 19 of their number, who
had been knocked down in the affray, in a state of insensibility
on the battle-field. They then retreated-to the brow of the hill,
at- the boarding-house, mustered all their countrymen they could
collect, and, 're-organising, seized a waggon; loaded with boulder
stones, and with shovels: spades; and bludgeons, menaced those
below with a renewal of the attack, but contented themselves
with hurling stones and other missiles, which, -under the cover
of the twilight, struck a number of persons, bruising them
severelyand in the-course of the night they dispersed, without
thiing further damage. No arrests were made, as there were
no police-officers present to seize and secure the offenders."—

Mr. MURPHY said if that was the Recorder's opinion, he
would try on another point.. Mr. Murphy then, at considerable
length, cited Starkie on evidence, to prove that except where
murder ensued, a general malicious and felonious intent could
:not be proved. He also argued that the general felonious intent
was contrary to the evidence, which went to prove that the
letters were intended for individual mischief in the Havanuah.
Mr. VENABLES replied, and contended that they had no evi-
dence of this. The letters might have been put into the post-
office as a trick to injure the individuals in the postoffice.
The'RECORDER overruled the objection.
Mr. MURPHY then -addressed the jury for the prisoner. After
alluding to the arduous and difficult position in which he was
placed, he begged the jury to di'Siniss from their minds any pre-
judice which they might previously have entertained, and
also the impression which the production of the arms which
had been found on the prisoner might create, and remem-
ber that in the country from whence the prisoner came`
it was common to carry such arms either as a protec-
tion, or as a mark of' gentility. Tlie whole mass of the
evidence was strictly circumstantial ; but if a link. in cir-
cumstantial evidence was wanting, the whole chain fell to the
ground. He contended that there was no proof that the pack-
ets which the boy Conway saw the prisoner put into the Post-
office were the packets containing the fulminating powder, and
moreover, Conway had stated • that he saw five packages in
a box which the prisoner had, which it was meant to be infer-
red were the packages sent through the postoffice, and which
packages Ruthviu, the police-officer, afterwards produced as
taken ftom the box. He contended that it was contrary to
human nature if, when the prisoner intended to commit a great
crime he should take the boy to show him the postoffice on the
Saturday when he wanted to put the exploding letters in, after
he had found the postoffice on the Friday without the boy, and
had put in those letters which went to 'London. Was it reason-
able to suppose that he should himself thus furnish the only-con-
necting link which was wanted to convict him. He called on
them to give the prisoner the benefit of this doubt. The records
of clime teemed with evidence where
.persons had been con-
victed of murder, even on..the most incontrovertible proofs,
when the person supposed- to be murdered had afterwards ap-
peared. fhe learned gentleman concluded a most eloquent
appeal to the jury, on behalf of the prisoner, which we are sorry
our limits will not allow us to report, and produced an evident
impression in court.

The RECORDER then proceeded to sum up. After reciting
the indictment, he said, the only point for the jury to consider
was, did this man, aye or no, cause these letters to be put into
the Liverpool Postoffice, containing dangerous materials liable
to be exploded, as had been mentioned? He quite agreed with
the learned counsel that they ought not to be intimidated into a
verdict because a blunderbuss loaded with 22 balls bad been
found. He agreed with him, that, unless they came to a verdict
without those circumstances of intimidation, they ought not to
find him guilty. The single point on which they had to decide,
aye or no,"--did the prisoner introduce those letter's which had.
caused the explosion into the postoffice-box at Liverpool?
The RECORDER then proceeded to recapitulate the evidence,
commenting upon it as he. proceeded. He strongly remarked
on the circumstance of the seal having been found on the person
of the prisoner, as a conclusive proof in his mind of the guilt of
the prisoner.
The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
Guilty.
The prisoner here, through his interpreter, said, that the light
impression on the letter C, was in consequence of an attempt at,
the Post-office in London, to try whether his seal would fit the'
impression. He denied that helad committed the offence, and
said if he had done it, he would have taken sufficient precau-:
tions not to have left evidence against himself.
The RECORDER then proceeded to sentence the prisoner. He
commented on the heinousness of the crime the prisoner had
committed,' whereby the poor man Barnard bad for ever lost the
use of one eve. Had Barnard lost his life, no judge or jury
would have hesitated to have pronounced him guilty of de-
liberate murder, because it was an act which bad not been done
on a sudden, but was full of great ingenuity, malice, and deli-
beration.. No doubt. the injury was intended for another, as in
the case of the late. Mr. Percival; but that did not alter the
law. The mischief which he had intended for another was
likely to he attended with much danger to others. Every fo-
reigner, the moment he landed in this country, had the protec-
tion of the laws; but he was likewise amenable to those laws,—
The legislature of the country could not keep up with the in-
genuity »f wicked men, but he hoped ere long that the highly
mischievous crime, of which the prisoner had been found guilty,
would be made a felony. The sentence of the court was, that
he be imprisoned in the H Ouse of Correction, at Kirkdale, for
two years. He could' not award hard labour.
The announcement of, the sentence was received with a buzz
of satisfaction by the court.
The trial lasted from 9 o'clock in the morning till nearly 3
o'clock in the afternoon:

MPERIAL BRAZILIAN STEAM-BOAT COMPANY.

The prospectus of a company has lately been issued, having
for its object the establishment of a post-office steam-packet
communication for Brazil, and possessing advantages ceded by
the 'Brazilian. Government, which must considerably conduce to
its success.

Oh'Sattirday last, at St: James' Ckurch, Mr.'John Bond, jun., to.
Atnelia, youngest daughter of the late FL Dawson, Esq., of this town.

- The 'importance of the undertaking, considered with reference
to the coasting trade of Brazil as regards English steamers, or
the connexion which will be thus readily formed by steam' with
South America, via Gibraltar,, 'Madeira, Teneriffe, and Caprera,
appears to us well to deserve the attention of the English capi-
talist, whether embarked in the tnines of that country, or in its
loans, -while the returns arising from the cessions made by the
government can not be passed by unnoticed.
Itappears that this compamy is baied upon a contract entered
into with the. Brazilian Government, for carrying the mails from
Rio de Janeiro to Bahia, Pernambuco, Ceara, Alaranham, and
Para, and back, at stated periods; and which contract the pro-
prietors cede to the company for the consideration of 150 free
shares therein.
For the serviceof carrying the mail, the company is to receive
for fifteen years, from' the Brazilian Government, 96,000milreis
per annum, in monthly payments, at the ?resent rate of
exchange, to upwards of £15,000
.per annum.

must be apparent, while it may not be'amiss to state, that the
voyage from Rio to Para and back, is seldom effected in sailing-
vessels under from four to five months; whereas by steam-boats
it Can be performed in' from thirty tOforty days, allowing sufli-
cient time to call at the various intermediate ports.

Cross-examined".--Th'eirhouse was 'aigood away from the post-
office, The paper thrown in the fire made a-whizzing n'oise'.
John O'Hara,' the husband of last witness. 'The prisoner
wanted to sell a trunk he had. He saw him' take a blunderbuss
out of the box; which the prisoner said waslOaded. He Made
him unload it, and there were 22 balls in it, and some powder.
On Friday morning he wanted something out of the prisober's
room, and knocked at his door, which prisoner opened. The
prisoner-was writhig, and there was. a box on the bed. He
thought he saw him put a parer on the bed. He had a seal, the
initials of which were J. 0. H. It was on the kitchen window
when he let the prisoner his room. He had never used it whilst
the prisoner was with him. He missed 'the seal after the pri-
soner left his house.
Mr. Maitland Wilson Boyd is employed in the General Post-
office, in London: He was present when the prisoner was ex-
amined at .the Post-office, when a conversation 'took place in
French. He asked prisoner if he had not come to-Liverpool
in the Virginian Packet. He said he had. and that he, had
put some letters in the post. He replied in French, " peut etre
obi," He asked him if the packages which had come to Lon-
don:were in his hand-writing, and-he said they mere. On show-
ing him the-letters which had been-put-in on Saturday, he said
he had put none in-the post. He also ;said that-•letter -C con-
taining the silver. was not in his handwriting: The prisoner
said he came .from Madrid and had lived at Paris. -He-came
froinfthe. Havanuah to,Liverpool.- •He. asked where he got a
seal found.on him, and-be said "at. Liverpool.",. The impres-
sion on the .sealnwas J. 0. H., and the same. as was on the
wafers of the letters. He had-no doubt but the impression on
the wafer was produced by the seal, ,•
Cro'ss-examined:—He could not say bnt the- impression was
faint; and similar to tire seal: He answered his questions rea-
dily. Hesaid.the letters A' B were-in his- handwriting; burp°.
sittvely denied that 'C was. 'The impressinn of the seal was not
so strong on the C letter as the others.
He-examined.—In his opinion it would have been dangerous
to have made a -strOng.impression.

A REASON FOR DissENt.—When I resided at Runcorn
there was a woman, of the name of Mrs. Johnston, who gave
the best 'reason "for 'Preferritig one place of worship• to another
that I 'have heard. Mrs •J, having left the Established Church
and gone to fhe Methodists chapel, was asked her reason for so
doing ; to which she replied :---'"That it was on account of her
pie'being exactly ready' when' the Methodist chapel came out;
whereas, when she attended the church, it was always'over-
done."—Majtrriba a ki's Tour: • ''
