VIC eSCluue seNcTai articles TO-DAY. TO
give place 10 an admirable written letter.
addressed 10 Mr.. CopBETT, from the
Black D,cdrf, new periodical pubIicati-
on, which has recently appeared in Lon
don. five are TO Judge from the sterling
ability displayed in this letter, we should
saw, that the advocates of relorm have lost
none of their spirit and energy; and the
departure of Mr.. Goblet has not occas
oned that chasm in the cause, which il
WAS expected would he the case. II can
not, however, be denied, that high com
pllment is paid him in the indignant force
of this letter, and proves that he was an
admirable auxiliary. The charges of
cowardice and desertion, appear to us un-
mcrited. When the last blow was given
to personal rights, by corrupt ministry,
III the suspension of the Habcas Corpus
act. then Goblet was threatened either
with 4 scaffold or a room in the Tower !:
his presence could no longer serve the
cause, and he acted pruden;ly in ADOPT
ing an alternative which still promises 10
BIZ benefi ial TO the object so much desir-
ed. Since his arrival in this country, he
has devoted his time 10 his country, and
has not, IN any respect, mingled in our
affairs. We differ in many respects from
the Black Dwarf, but we publish ii TO
learn the contrariety of opinions which
prevail on the subject of his quitting En-

More than four close columns Of the
London Courier of The 9Th June, are oc-
cupiei with areport of the trial of iona
than Wooller, printer, for an aledged IL
bel on the Ministry, in an article on the
subject Of the right of petitiouing, pub
lished III his newspaper, entitled the YELL
foU Dwd'f. The Attorney General stated
that Woollcr had peculiar facility for
composition; being printer, he compo-
sed from the dictates of his mind, at The
case, no manuscript being necessary
The trial bad excited great degree of
public interest. Ii appears he was twice
arralgned. On tie first trial he was &C
quilted, and the acquittal received with
loud applause by the spectators who had
assembled. On the second trial, minis
ieriaI corruption and oppression were APP
parent Although three Ofth Jury would
not consent TO a verdict of guilty, he was
pronounced so This was received by
the misses of the spectators. The Attor-
ney General was also frequently Missed
while making lis plea, and Wooler, in
his defence, applauded. Best. Pat.
