quest of quite a number of our read
ers all of whom now we suppose, are
satisfied that the council were no
hasty in their decision; as all innocen
man would not paymoneyso freely az
Mr.. F. did to hire people not to lie a
bout him; and if he had not beer
guilty he would not have written tc
his accuser such letter as he did
saying che hoped God had forgiven
him for what had passed." An inno-
cent man would not put into the
hands of an enemy such letter as he
sent to Rhoda Davidson at Edge
comb, Maine;nor would a man talk OF
Gods forgiving him for what he had
not done. The story about the advice
ofthe friend who loaned OF gave him
money, seems to us intended to init
mate that that friend may have been
the guilty one, and we believe the
whole ofthat story made up one. A
bad feature of the whole matter is,the
falsehoods he persists in uttering to

the House Of Lords in the celebrat-
ed writ Of erro: case, were termin-
ated on the Cd inst.the English iudg-
es having confirmed the doings oil
the court below. 1t is stated that
no one was surprised, and that the
ministry was now much puzzled to
know what to do with o. Cornell
and his fellow prisoners.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert
were to embark on the 9th or 10th
inst. on board the royal yacht and
proceed to Scotland on a visit to the |
duke of Alhol. Another topic is the
rumored intention of her Majesty to !
visit Ireland. preparatory to an am
nesty renting to Mr.. O'Connell and
his fellowprisoners the remaining
term Of their imprisonment. Wheth-
er true OF not, the mere rumor has
created great excitement among all
parties. The affairs of Morocco and
the possibility ola war between Eng

The temperance cause has done
more for the prosperity of the people
