This suit wns instituted iu 1S41, for in
demnity for losses sustained by violation of
contract on Ihe part of the defendants, and
for the recovery of certain rights and immuni
ties', obtained by them, under falses pretence in
1840. The prisoner was brought into court
under a writ of Habeas Corpus. His physi
cs! appearance was haggard and amaciated
in the extreme. His eyes rolled wildly, aud
the genera! contour of his countenance exhibi
ted a guilt which no affected innocence could
conceal, a restive spirit and a dogged despair
which n assumed non chaance could effect
ually suppress. His habiliments hung loose
ly, and in tattering fragments about his per
son. His hat was somewhat antique in its
style; very much like those, worn iu the days
of the elder Adams; the "(slack cockade" was
slili conspicuous. His linen was originally
red flannel, but now it was considerably soil
ed. His coal was of "many colors," with a
strong perpoudcrance of red ; and of a cut so
very peculiar, that it could be wwu either end
up, or either side out. His " inexpiessibles"
were also " indesci ibab'es,"' though by the
pi ism of scrutiny, they might be divided into
as tr.aiiv elements at least, as I arson niiller
di'-ides his bens!. He was barefoot, and his
pedal extremities weie considerably lacerated
by the (hums he has been travelling on fur the
last three year.
A jury f twentz-six was empannelled,
when the piisoner was thus addressed by the
(.'.'i' t :

Here the Court suggested that the testi
mony was rather irrevelaut, and checked
the witness' loquacity by asking if he knew
the prisoner. J

Here the evidence for the prosecution
closed.
Several witnesses were introduced by the
defendant, but their testimony was overruled
bv the Court, as they were known to have
been parliceps criminis iu the transaction.
The case was bi it-fly summed up by the States'
Attorney, when Jnhu M. Botts, Esq., made
an elaborate argument for the defence. He
confessed thai the crime had been prpefra;ed,
but contended lint an alibi could easily be
proved; or, if this plea should not be received
much as to make it up in the long run. Meat
and bread wilt be bad for nothing, because we
now make more than we consume, and the
Mill-boy swears, (mill-boys will swear some
times,) not an ounce of meat nor a gruin of
coru shall be sent off to feed foreign paupers.
Money 400, why money will be as plenty as
black-berries. He'll have a great National
Institution on the plan of Aladdin's Lamp,
that wiil never fail or burst that's, the reason
he won't call it a Bank. People will go (heie

what motive urges such unhallowed attempts,

every piofession of State pi ide. Such are the
atti nipts to degrade this county, by publishing
to the wo! Id such statements as to induce the
citizens of other States to believe that the

We have every reaon to believe that the
census in this State was very imperfectly ta

performed in (his county particularly. The
census of many other counties bear palpable
errors ou its very face. The number repotted
iu Edgecomb who can't read aud write, we
believo to be excessively large, and incor
rectly reported ; aud we charge soon the fact,
that the very moment the census was pub
lished, many respectable citizens dei lared
that the Marshal put no such interrogatories
as to the ability of persons to read aud wtite,
and consequently must have guessed al most
of his returns under that head.

The King of the Fien h hearing of Queen
Victoiia's intention 1(f taking a shoit excur
sion by sea, commissioned his sous to invite
her to his chateau at En. She look her de
paitnre on Monday from Southampton, amidst
great rejoicings, aud her progress along the
coast is recorded with much minuteness by
Ihe daily journals. The royal squadron leach
ed Treporl on the afternoon of Saturday,
where ii was received bv the King of the
French aud his family with great eclat.
The Royal families of England and France
then, amidst great rejoicings, left for the
chateau d' Eu, which they reached al seven
thu same e.'eniug, aud a splendid banquet
was served up al eight. The Queen's jotir
uey to France has excited no little interest
ou both sides of the channel. Sooie of the
Pari-i papers look upon it with any thing but
satisfaction. This is the first occasion, for
circumstances.
The Commerce states, that "it is now con
sidered certain thai the Queen of Great Hi it- ; ment of that country, and excites feelings uf
aiu will extend her visit to Paris. News (o mutual distrust and animosity between diffur

the Tuilleries, from Eu, bi ingiilg oidcrs to
prepare the apartments of the Tuilleries, the
Palace Royal, Versailles, and even the Hotel

her Majesty is to occupy the Palais Royal.
Already have the masons who were about to
make Iterations in the Pavilion ol" Floia
suspended their operations, and cleaied away
the scaffolding which was erected io the front
of ihe Paviliou.
'It is commanded that the Palaces of Ver
sailles, the Tuilleries, and the Palais Royal,
should be all prepared by Tuesday next al the
latest. For this purpose 110 less than SOU
upholsterers and other tradesmen have been
engaged. Of these, 250 have been sent lo
Versailles. It is said that an eulertaiumeut
is lo bo given iu the Grand Gallery at Ver
sailles which will exceed iu magnificence any
thing of the kind yet seen.
This festival is to be held at night. It
will require not less than 55,U0U wax candles
to light the galleries of the Palace. The ex

Prorogation of Parliament.--House oj
Lords, Aug. 24. The House of Lords was
opened to-day at a little afler 12 o'clock, and
immediately a considerable number of ladies
were admitted, and occupied tbe benches
usually appropriated to the Peers. Several
seats were reserved for Peeresses, who came
rather later. Long befoie 2 o'clock the strang
ers' gallery, Ihe two small side galleries, in
tended fur Peers, and tbe body of tbe House,
disturbs the industry and rctaru's the improve-
Irelond. O'Connell continues to blaze
away in Ireland. The agitation increases,
if possible, iu intensity, aud the rent is kept
up to the mark swelled by contributions front
various parts of ihe American continent, lie
has attacked the Queen's speech w ith great
ferocity, treating it as the speech of ihe minis
teis, and wisfiing it to be believed that her
Majesty was coerced into its delivery that
she is not a free agent, aud that a resignation
would have been the result of a refusal. This
does not tallv, however, with the marked in
tention which her Majesty in said to have i'u
paited to the reading of the passages about
the Repeal agitation. That reading plainly
indicated her feeling on the subject.
The great Protestant meeting which was
announced as on ihe eve. of inking place ia
Belfast, a counter demonstration to tho Re
peal meetings, has been given lip- Tho ad
vice contained in the Qneeu's speech is as
signed as the cause.
At Roscommon there was an immense
meeting of Repealers, and O'Connel spoke
w ith great boldness aud effect. Al the usual
weekly repeal meeting on the 2Sih, the sub
ject of the Queen's speech was taken up.
Remittances from the repeal associations of
Louisiana anil Ohio were brought iu. A
letter from the Ohio Repealers was read, ex
pressing their dissent at O'Connell' views
ou slavery. Mr O'Connell then tepeated his
views on slavery iu brief, and condemned
the letter, which he moved should be referred
to a commiltee for a detailed answer. Speak
ing of the Queen's speech, he said it was not
Ihe expression of royal, but f miuisierial
authority. He still urged peaceable, but
strenuous exertions.
