•,• In a Second Edition of the STATESMAN yesterday evening
we gave in ample report of the proceedings of the Inquest
held at Shenley Hill, up to as late a period as would enable
us to furnish our country subscribers with the intelligence.
In our present publicationwe have given au extended accoun t
of the entire proceedings at that placcas ',etas* full report
of the interesting trial to-day at Hertford, up to the latest
possible hour. In the course of the day, we have made pro-
vision for the arrival of several expresses, and shall publish
the accounts they bring, as soon as practicable, in another
Impression.

THE MOTION NEGATIVED.

Mr. JUlTscs Pana.—l am certainly of opinion, that
notwithstanding the able manner inwitith this question, as
to Hunt's being pet on his trial, has brill 'sped by his
Counsel, that there is no grounds whatever to induce me to
allow him the benefit efAnff confession be may have made;
not that 1 mean tosay application may not be made for
mercy to aeotber quarter. With respect to this discretion
of the Magistrates he would say, that the highly reaped.
able gentlemen forming the Magistracy on the present,
occasion, no doubt acted according to the best of their
understanding, but be was beubd to observe that they bad
not the power to make such promise, our do they say
they meant it; on the whole, I certainly cannot find fault
with their decision. A person named Noel, whom he did
not 'mow. thought proper to make a promise which the
Magistrates had no power to gnat. If magistrates bad
this power, why was application made to Judges to
allow is itnesses to be examined before the Grand Jory ?
After paying lam strictest attention to the affidavits, and
attentively listening to the arguments of Counsel, I do not
see any ground for the further postponement of the trial.
One calendar month had wow expired since I post.
posed the trial on a former occasion, and if any ,
application was intended to be made, why not have
made it during the intermediate space of time ! I must '
rensequently refuse the present motion. not saying at the
mune time, any thing of any application that may hereafter
be mode to another quarter.
• After the decision of Mr. Justice PARK, Thurtell
'addressed the Court, and begged to know if his Solicitors
would not I e allotted to take their situation near him.
Mr. Justice Psex.—Most undoubtedly. I have already
given orders to that effect.
The DIM'S of the Jurors were then called over; and
suck as' were net ordered ire the box, were desired to
withdraw; but to be within calling.
The following Jury were then sworn :
Thomas Brown Mr. J. Russel,
Mr.-Thos. Bock, Foreman. Id. T. Chalkly,
Mr: Jame. 11:.. W. Folblgg,
Mr. Richard Prior, Mr. J. Hopewell.
mr. George Starkey, Mr. S. Pritchard, and
Mr.therles Fox, Mr. W. Kent; ton.
After the Jury had taken their seats in the Jury box, the
astral prisklas metier was made by the Crier.
The witnesses for the prosecution wets then ordered to
ave the Court, but Mr. Justice,Paan suggested that the
earned gentleman need not leave the Court.
Tito Counsel for the prisoner agreed to this suggestion.

power to save the chapel, but in vain. • • • .
Mr. Wray•s dwelling house, which
.adjoined the shapel•
was with much difficulty preserved from entire destruction,
but it was greatly injure:l ; a large part of the roof was
uncovered ; all the nindows lir.dsen ; most of the furniture
spoiled by being thrown out of the windows, and much other
damage done. The liovernor and Fiscal were using every
means to discover whether the tire was accidental or
intentional. . .
At a Meeting of the Directers, on Monday the 22,1 of
December, the communication from Mr. Wray being read,
it was unanimously resolved, that the snot of Five Hun.
dred Pounds he granted for the purpose of aiding in re•
building of the chapel and school house.
As the loss sustained by the total destruction of the
chapel and school room, and the dam•fge dune to the
dwelling house and fur'.iture is calculated to amount to
nearly Two Thousand Pounds sterling ; the liberal
tions of the friends of the Missionary cause throughout
the United Kingdom are respectfully solicited.

THE NINE.

At hale past twelve precisely Spring drove up, with Isis
seconds, Cribb and Painter, in a handsome hatroueue. He
was cheered on stepping within the ring and throwing up
his hat. He was in good condition, but looking paler than
usual. He weighed 13 stone 4 pounds. In consequence
of Belcher, who was to second Langan, not coming down,
there was some mistake in the appointment of Joshua Hutt•
son, and it was a full hour he'ore Langan made his
appearance. It was suspected that he meant to be
off, and olds were talked off on that point While
waiting for him a dreadful occurrence took place; the
consequences were not ascertained when our Express left.
One of the great temporary scaffoldings gave way, and
between a thousand and fifteen hundred people were
precipitated 20 feet. We learn from a gentleman himself,
a soilerer, that great injury was done, but whether lives
were lost sr not he could not say. A ludicrous circum•
stance occurred about the same time. A wag called sot
that the stand(' solid brick and stone building) was
going, and an old gentleman who stood near one of the
windows, broke it open and jumped out. During the con-
fusion occasioned by the accidents, Langan arrived, but was
unable to get a passage 'brought the crowd. Harry Holt
mounted a balcony at the stand, and made the following
speech :I—Lientlemen, Langan is under the stand there ;
male room for him ; let him come out, for Swing says he
can't fight without him."
This appeal was irresistible, and room was made for
Langan, who came op boldly to the ring, ready prepared
for action, and threw his hat within the ropes. ' He was
loudly cheered. We expected to see a big man of 14 stone
but Langan did not seem above 12si stone, and much
below Spring in height and length. Reynolds and Joseph
Hudson waited on him. As so much time was wasted,
business began, and as soon as the blue bird's eye for
Spring, and the dark green kerchief for Langan, were
tied to the stakes. the men shook hands, and were pot
Ito the scratch.

Spring script in fine condition, and was all confidence
and resolution. Langan showed a powerful mascle, and
stript as a closely-knit well made nian,—no better to leak
at of kis weight in England. The timekeepers and um-
pires were ready, and thus began

OR3ERVATIONS.

Spring has sustained his fame, and secured the dram
pionship. He is the safest man, after Jack Randall, for
he never gives a chance away; but he is too tardy iu
dealing oat p•snishtnete, and Isis blows do not tell as a
heavy van's like him shoal i. There was not one real good
hit in the fight—nee on- clean knock down blow. Langan
has proved himself a truly game man, and the wonder is
how a novice like him could wake such a stand against
the b-st man in the ring, his superior by nearly half& stone
in weight. He is a prime article, and deserves encourage-
ment. We heard a countryman on the road from War wit k
say, that if Langan lay on the ground for ball an boar, he
could not ruseke him give in. Such is the man.

Neale' and Belasco were to hare fought in the same
rine', but it wag too dark to begin tiehtiug after the
t:rst battle. We suppose they can keep for another
day.

Crowds were collected on the road to town to learn the

In Brecht's, last Tuesday se'onight, a countryman of
portly appearance, well known in the place, hailog taken,

TRAGICAL EVENT.

On Monday last this town was thrown into a state of
great consternation and horror, by an occurrence which
has overwhelmed a respectable family in extreme distress.

that the house of Richard Meade, Esq. the eminent soli-

be extended to the unfortunate suffered! The reference*
are of the most satisfactory nature :

proposed, I declare that the right of confirming the said
Decree is henceforth reserved to myself alone.—January

principles. and accustomed to live in discord. think to dis-
turb.—They break out into invective against the sacred
rights of the Throne, and praises of the abolished Consti-
tution. They spread alarming reports, and Carry their
audacity so far as to infest the public roads with arms in
their hands. In consequence his Majesty, persuaded that
time most effectual way to prevent crimes ms promptly to
punish those who have already been guilty of them, orders
as follows:
" Art. 1. In all the capitals of provinces. including the
Balearic Islands, there shall he formed. within fifteen
days, executive and permanent Commissioners, composed
of a President, who is a Brigadier General in the King's

of Scrjeant Major; of an Assessor, four Fiscals, and as
many Clerks."
