The resell of the trial in the sue of Malty Arm
Csat.tait has excited se estraortheary sensation. The

the amionat we yesterday ,received. It doss net seen
that a 'sae prose:pi was agreed on to be entered. AU
that appears is that the parties With the con-
currence of the Court, consented tlia# the Jury shoal'
be discharged without giviag a verdict. Mr. Coeirilll
in exprnsing his acquiestessee likened, that awe
they had been enclosed frdni font o'clock the preeed-
lag afternoon, a space of ajrin(en hours, it would be
cruelty to protract their confinement. This is a very
unusual step, unprecedented we believe in a criminal
proceeding, though it is said to have once taken place
in a civil ease. Several papers have represented
this as equivalent to an acquittal. It is affirmed, how-
ever, by the friends of the prosecution, that it had se
such effect. The defendant, it is alleged, is simply
placed in the Natoli :which she stood before the Jury
were icapauelled sad it will therefore remain for the
Association to determine whether, or under whateircuns-
stances, the proceedings are to be renewed. Whether
this assertion is well-founded, re have not the means of
ascertidning ; but admitting that it has, it become
extremely doubtful, whether ender any circumstances
;he Association will deeni it adviseable to renew the
proceedings. The recent trial, has in some degree
evinced the feelings of the public with regard to the
formation of an Association like the present. The re-
snit does not prove, indeed, that any of the Jury acted
from a prejudice against it; for the matter charged as
libellous, if liable to the imputation of going beyond
the strict line of fsir discussion, may well have been
considered as not exceeding far enough to warrant the
imputation of guilt. This may have bees the conga-
.entious °pipits, of such of the Jury as appeared dis-
posed to pronounce a verdict of Not Guilty; but
still sufficient evidence is given that the mind of
the Public does not accompany the proceedings
of the Association; aid the probability therefor:
is that their ulterior aims may be relinquished. :t was
understood on Tuesday evening, that the number of
the Jury in favour of an acquittal was then four ; yes-
terday forenoon, we are informed, it was increased to
five. The following are said to be the names of the
Jurymen :--
SPZCIAL Jcantsx.—John Stracev, of Smithfield
Bars, metchant ; Philip Jacob, of Crescent, Cripplegate,
ditto; James Byrne, of Dyer's Coen, ditto; Charles
Wright, Old Jewry, ditto; Whey Horton; King's
Arms Yard, ditto; John Webb, Coleman-street, ditto.
