DOW-STREET.  Pursuant to adjournment from yesterday, Mr. Martin (the Member for Galway), came up to the Public Office this morning, with his affidavit. of which we give a copy below. Ile had no, hesitation in swearing, he said, that the Proprietor and Editor of the Morning Chronicle, in the attacks they had made upon him in their newspaper, actually, in his belief, designed to stir up the Smithfield drovers and others to murder him, or do him some' grievous bodily harm. The Honourable Member, after swearing the affidavit, animadverted in terms of pointed indignation upon the remarks upon him contained in the Chronicle of that day. These men, he observed, promised themselves mcoe fun with hint, and that was the only reason they gave for not wishing hiat to be killed. All he begged them both to understand was, that it should not be his fault if they did not have an opportunity for more fun. He would place them in the funny situation of men who have to listen to the decision of a Jury upon their conduct. Some people might laugh at him, but more laughed with him. He considered that by his Hill he had obtained the affections of the metropolis; and Messrs. Clement and black had better take his advice, and mend their manners, before 1 they excited the execrations of the whole people against them. Mr. 31mm:ix assured Mr. Martin that he would take the necessary steps to secure the attendance of Mr. Clement at the office to-morrow morning. Mr. Martin tbeu bowed and departed. The following is a copy of the affidavit on which Mr.. Martin obtained the warrant against Jr. Clement : Middlesex to IVit.—itichard Martin, of 16, Manchester-buildings, in the city and liberty of Westminster, maketh oath and saith, that Wiliiant Innen Clement, being a persOn of an evil and malicious mind and disposition, and unlawfully and maliciously contriving to vilify and injure and disgrace the deponent, and to provoke him to a breach of the peace, and as this deponent verily believes, to incite the drovers of cattle and others, the subjects of our Lord the King, to commit an outrage upon and murder this deponent, did, on the 6th day of Septentber instant, with force of arms, within the said city and liberty of Westminster and county of Middlesex and elsewhere, publish or cause to be published in a certain public newspaper, called the Morning Chronicle, a wicked, scandalous, and mischievous libel, of and concerning this deponent, containing, amongst other things, the scandalous, malicious, mischievous and libellous matter following, of and concerning this deponent (that is to say) " Our hair absolutely stood on end when we read the following attack in the flag number That Irish Jackass Martin (meaning this deponent) throws an air of ridicule over the whole matter by his (meaning this deponent) insufferable idiotism. I hope to see his (meaning this deponent) skull, thick as it is, cracked one of these days; for that vulgar and angry gabble with which he weekly infests the Police Offices of the metropolis, is a greater outrage to humanity than any fifty blows ever inflicted on the snout of a pig or the fat buttocks of a beeve; blows which in one and the same breath the blustering and blundering blockhead (meaning this deponent) would fain prosecute, punish, and pardon.'  " Pray, Mr. Richard Martin, did you ever try to drive a pig. or to keep a flock of sheep, or a drove of cattle together, in the midst of the riot, tumult, and confession of Smithfied ? It is no such easy job, I can tell you, and nothing short of a most impertinent and provoking puppy must that person be, who stops short a drover, in all his agonies of exasperation, fur merely banging the sides of an ever-fed ox, about to join the colours of another Regi. ment."-6. We dare not quote what follows about murdering;' to the great damage, scandal, and injury of this deponent, to the evil exampl:t of all others, and agaiii.t the peace of our Lord the King, his crown and dignity.
