CORRESPONDENT.—MURDER OF CULLY, TIIE PoLICEMAN.—It is confidently stated that Furzey, who has been committed to Newgate on the capital charge of having stabbed the two policemen, Redwood and , is clearly identified by a disinterested witness as the murderer of the unfortunate Cully. The person alluded to was taken to Newgate, and ac.  , lected Furzey from amongst several other prisoners as him he had seen give the fatal blow, and he is to appear at the trial to prove the fact."  Now this was only one week beforethe trial of this man for his life, and was published by a violent political partizan. It was worded so coolly and cautiously as to make a great impression upon the public mind, and seemed to say that the plaintiff was already almost a convicted murderer. No disinterested person dared to appear at the thereby proving that it was altogether a mere fabrication. He supposed inadvertence would be pleaded, as he had often heard done; but if they could show him an instance where an advertisement bad got in by inadvertence, without being charged, he would certainly then allow such an explanation. After a most earnest and impassioned appeal to the Jury, the Learned Gentleman sat down, by calling upon them to give exemplary damages in order to clear his character, for no sum of money could compensate him for his sufferings in his dungeon, and the fifteen hours he was on his trial.  Thomas Brown, principal turnkey in Newgate, bad Furs ,y given into his charge on the 16th of May, and re• mained till the 6th of July. Cross-examined—Knew nothing more of the plaintiff than that be was there charged with the Calthorpe-street affair.  The libel was then read and an admission put in, stating that the defendant was the proprietor of the paper. That was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. PLATT (Who Was assisted by Mr. FOLLETT) then addressed the jury for the defence. He was sure that the jury would, as well as himself, be surprised to hear that the plaintiff's case was closed, because if they would throw back their recollection for half an hour, they would find a variety of statements, not one word of which was proved. There was the awful anxiety upo❑ the trial when his Learned Friendiwas paral)zed—he expected some one would have been put in the box for the purpose of telling the Jury something of that, but it seemed as if those who got up the case had gone into the prison, and found out that man who  was not present, in order that he (Mr. Platt) might not have an opportunity of getting one word upon the subject. He would ask whether it wan fair to make such over charged statementsi i❑ order to inflame the minds of a jury and then close the case without one iota of proof as to one of them. ? The fact was, that the case had been most studiously got up, for had they called a single witne s  who was present, they would have told them—that that libel had nothing on earthly to do with the trial. The writer was charged with cool;writing it, either fur pecuniary gain or party purposes ; yet it was not even  attempted to be shown that the editor or printer ever had  the least knowledge who or what Mr. Fu►zey was—in fact, was as perfectly ignorant of him as his Learned Friend chose the Jury should be. If the editor and plaintiff had been political enemies, or ever had been personally acquainted, then some motive for malice might have been inferred ; but as the case stood, they could inf r no more than what was contained in the libel itselL His Learned Friend had not been idle in searching  for topics—..he had first of all carried thetu to Algiers—:.
