To my cer tain knowledge, gentlemen, of the jury, IRELAND. Mr. Shicl is regarded bv the Irishpeo- ed in'd’viduals who were convie'-ed of the several persons besides my client have ;is the most eloquent advocate ot their ratio! He is indeed an earnest impas sioned aud leafless speaker, and ol his intearitv and sincerity, there cannot exist a doubt. Yet as to the wrongs and rights ofchis country, he is notan unexception able wif ss. The sense of persona ury and' political exclusion, and the res flats thrown over his religious immu have so sliarmmed Ins feelings and /•coloured his perceptions as to make his ar unsafe testimony in the arduous strife bet een Great Britain and Ireland. On all utters, however, where his opinions and jirteements are not influenced by pol itics or reiigv>n, there cannot be a more unimpeachable authority. Vvc reprint from a speech addressed {on ,ngi.-i Clonmel, tl.c allowing powerful and affecting passages : Having said thus much with regard to what I believe, however I may be mista ken, to be the source of the evils by which we are afflicted, I consider it my duty to address to this immense assembly, com posed of several thousands, and compre hending a vast body of the peasantry, some well-meant advice. You know the to be an active, and I may add, an honest member of your community; and you are well aware tiiat in the course which I have adopted, I have not displayed a mean and pusillanimous spirit, but am as deeply sensible as any mail of the wrongs which are inflicted upon my country. What I shall sav, therefore, in the shape ot strong remonstrance and reproof, will I hope, be taken in good part—(Loud Cheers.)— Now I tell vou plainly and undisguisedlv, that although I cons'dqr the government to have adopted unavailing and inapplica ble means for the restoration of tranquil ity, yet that I loik upon the crimes com mitted amongst you, not only as destitute of any (even the least) palliation, but as among the most disgraceful—(yet that is a feeble word)—I should say the most deserving of execration that stand in the annals of atrociiy. Gracious God! what have I not witnessed in the course of tiie few days which the Assizes have occupied! The recollection of what I have seen and heard before the public tribunals, is enough to make, the blood cold, and to suspend the heart in its beatings. Well might the excellent Judge say, with tears in his eyes, that ho had not in the course of his judicial'experience beheld so fright ful a mass of enormities as the calendar displayed. It was, indeed, a bloody mis- cellancy of dreadful—I would rather say, of infernal guilt. Look, for example, at the murder of Sliens—(Loud cries of hear, hear.)—1 iok at the midnight confla gration of IS of your fellow creatures, and tell me, is there any thing in the re cords of horror by which that accursed deed lies been excelled ! Merciful heaven! not only 17 human beings, most of whom had never offended the perpetrators of their death, were sacrificed that night which stands without a parallel—but the unBor i child—the litile infant who had never lifted its innocent hands, or breath ed the air ol life—the little child in its. mother’s womb. But I am wrong in say ing that the child who perished in the flames was not born. The wretched kinsman of its unfortunate mother gave a more just description than I have done.— When irsked how many were consumed m the flames, he said there were 17, and that if the child tiiat . was dropped, (for that was his phrase) in the burning, be counted, it would make eighteen / Born in fire !—sentjnto the world in the midst of a furnace!—transferred from the womb to the flames, kindled by fiends, who ex ulted around them ! Stretched on a bed of luxury and of softness, woman groans been put in jeopardy of life and limb by those unlawful projections, called hats, and had not their chivalrous gallantry pre- er of actions tor dam- n haggard, wild, find deeply-farrow- ; ages would have been incalculable. Gcn- lnntenance-, and with his head cover- tlcmen of the jury, such hats .m. contiury to the spirit ifirnot the letter of the law.— There is a law against swine running at large, and why ? Because they run be- assassinatiou. At . one extremity of the bar there stood a boy, with a blooming face, and with down on'his cheek, and at the other an old man,, in the close of life vented it, the numb with cd conn to ed with hoary and dishevelled hair.

Mr. Frankland Lewis has been named to succeed Mr. Goulburn as secretary for Ireland. London, April 26.—During the whole of yesterday, rumours respecting the for mation of the Ministry have been in circu- i lation, different in. their nature from those I which have been promulgated for sonre days past. The uncertain state in which the arrangements between Mr. Canning and the Whig Party appear, has caused it ! to be rumoured that it was more thanprob- ! able the Marquis of L; nsdowne would not coalesce with the Premier ; then again if j he did come into the Administration, he | would beappointed Premier,and 3Ir.

But gentlemen of the jury f e£h from Paris. That his horse, was j what are ladies’ hands good for .now ? raw from the country, became, as the plaintifl verilv believes and testifies on For all useful purposes, they might as well be without them—they are continually oath, alarmed at the sudden apparition of employed in holding their hats on their the said hat, abruptly wheeled round,rear ed up and transplanted him from his back into the gutter, to the great damage of his person apparel. Zephyr Silkendale testified that he was a fellow lodger wiih John Julius Dandv, and that the said Dandy suffered great in- iurv in his apparel, bv reason of certain filthy accumulations of mud, as per con tract of certain individuals wbb the Cor poration : and further that said John .Tu bus Dandv kept his bed three days after wards,ns he verily believes in consequence of said disaster. Svl via Silverbeels deposed on the part of defendant, that the hat sported bv Miss Mpdjsh was a fashionable lint, such as is is now generally worn bv all persons of the lea«t pretensions, from the highest ton to the lowost kitchen, find that no horse of nnv blond or breeding would think of being frightened at seem" it. Mad ame Trumnouric deposed that the hat was an exact far simile of one worn bv the Dutchess D’Angoulcme, the last time she took ;in airing to Fontainbleau. John Julius Dandv cross examined by Mr. Catchall. Was the h nrse von rode a blood horse ? Cant tel!—dont know his pedigree. Counsel desire the Jury to take partic ular note of this. So you dont know his pedigree you sav ? No' Mr. Dandy, I am now going to ask yon a question which I hope you will con sider deeply, before vou answer. Did plain- tifl wear curls, when she frightened your horse ? She did. You are certain of that I am. Very well—that’s sufficient. Zephyr Silverbeels cross examined. Did John Julius Dandy actually keep his bed three days after the accident?— Ans. He did. Was it in consequence of actual injury sustained or only flight? A Cant say up on my honour. Never mind your honour, sir—you are under oath now—might not John Julius Dandy have kept his bed in consequence of the damage sustained by his costume, rather than from any injury received in his person. Had he any second suit of n the rack on which sin is laid by na- ! clothes to put on, while the other was rc- iure, hut what must have been the pains of t’.iat delivery In which a mother brought forth, a child, and-while she was herself perishing in the flames, felt the infant that was clasped against her bosom, consumed i\y the fo es with which she was surround ed. I should not withhold from you an incident illustrative of maternal tender ness, which adds to the horror of this abominable crime. The mother of the new born chfld was found dead near a tub of water in which she had placed her in- l uit to save it, and the child was discover ed with its scull burned off, and the rest of the limbs preserved by the water in which the expiring mother had striven in the uni ted pains of death and childbirth to pre serve it. What shall we say of this ! In what language shall we express the feel ings' which this appalling deed sends into the heart!—with what exclamation shall we give vent to the emotions awakened by the recital of that which you tremb e to hear, and which there were human beings; ton m 1 who were not afraid to do ! We can but lift up our hands' to the God of Jus- j tice, and ask him why lie has invested us \ with the same forms as the demons who | perpetrated that unexampled murder, arid] why did they commit it L^y virtue of a ; Iwrible league bv whichmey were bound ! together, not only against their ehemv but j og.uiaV human nature mmu the God who i made it!—for they were bound together ! -—they were sworn in the name of their Creator, and they invoked Heaven to sanctify a deed which they were confede rated to perpetrate by a sacrament of hell. ; Although accompanied by circumstances of inferior.terror, the recent assassination of Barrcf’’belongs to the same class o'f guilt, A body of men, at the close of day enter a peaceful habitation, on the S.ib- pai.ang! He John Julius gave Lawyer Catchall a look that rather staggered the learned Counsel, and Mr. Silverbeels appealed to the Court to know whether he was o- bliged to answer the question. The court said by all means, unless it would in any way criminate himself. Mr. Catchall then repeated the question. He had no other suit of clothes. O ho ! then he kept his bed lor want of them ? Gant say. Madame Trumpourje cross-examined by Mr. Tongue, counsel for the plaintiff. What was the size of Miss Modish’s bonnet 1 Seven feet 3 inches round, clear of the trimmings. Is that the usual size ? The sizes vary—if the lady is. below the middle size, the hat ought to be pro portionally larger ; a. lady of four feet and a half in height should wear a hat twice the circumference of her height. How many yards of trimming go to the composition of a fashionable hat, Madam ? i Sometimes more, sometimes less. ■ Six ty or seventy yards is the extent. How many feathers? About three dozen. What quantity of flowers ? About as much as t will fill three band boxes. How in the name of.wonder do the la dies keep such things on their, heads? They hold them last with their hands. What is she usual price ofsucha bat? Here Madame Trutnpourie made a low courtsie, and declared she never at tended to such a vulgar matters—The la dies paid just what they pleased. The testimony being*, cio.sed, Mr. heads. [The argument is continued at some length, but for want of room we are oblig ed to leave it, and proceed to give some remarks in defence of the case.] Mr. Catchall then rose in behalf of the defendant and made a most powerful ap peal to the feelings of the jury. Gentlemen of the jury, said lie,“ rlie age of chivalry—is gone !”—a long pause, and the orator resumed—“ The age of chivalry is gone, and the glory of Europe is defeated^ forever !”—I say gentlemen —that a gentleman should bring an action against a lady, in any court, (except the court of cupid) is an unequalled barbarian —I say gentlemen a most unparalleled bai- barian. Gentlemen of the jury, where is there to be found, in the common law— the civil'law—the canon law—the stat ute law—the laws of the Modes and Per sians—the laws of the land, or the ocean —I say where is there any law put ing a lady’s hat into superscription or confine ? None. I defy the learned gentleman to produce a single case in point. But gen tlemen of the jury, tiie laiv in most cases which occur, has nothing to do with the business. Custom, gentlemen, custom is above law, because it is the foundation of the law. Now, I maintain that if it were the custom to wear no hats at all, there would be nothing unlawful in any client going without a hat. Now gentlemen of the jury, if it is lawful to go without a hat, then it follows apriori—that is it goes be fore the argument—fhat she may lawfully wear a hat as high as a church steeple, and as wide as a church steeple, and as wide as a church door. The very fact of her being permitted to wear no hat, proves that she may wear a hat of any size she pleas es. The cou t charged the Jury, that if they believed the learned counsel for the plain tiff, they would find against the defendant; if they believed the counsel for the defen dant;-they would find against the plaintiff; hut if they believed neither, they would do just as they pleased. Jury after being out three days and three nights, returned a verdict of disa greement, and were discharged. The following rules for promoting love and harmony, have, been circulated a- mongst the members of a church in Eng land. They are so suitable, as well as scriptural, that vve hope they will be circu lated yet more exsensively, and be adopted by all who bear the Christian name. 1. To remember that we are all subject to failings and infirmities of one kind or other. 2. To bear with and not magnify each other’s infirmities.—Gal. vi. 1. 3. To pray one for another in our social meetings, and particularly in private.— James, v. 16. 4. To avoid going from house to house for the purpose of hearing news, interfer ing with other persons’ business. ;>. Always to turn a deaf ear to any slan derous report, and to lay no charge, brought against any person, until well founded. 6.

To watch against a slyness of each other, and to put the best construction on sun and rain as grass, which is cut for hay When cattle have been yarded over night, it will be well to throw their manure into j heaps, and cover them with soil previous- j ly prepared for that purpose. The author of the valuable Essays, en- j titled “Letters of Agricola,” says “Earth j ful absorder ol all the gases ise from the putrefaction. Put j common soil along the ton of a ; I fermenting dung-hill from 12 to 18 inches j ! thick and allow it to remain there while | j the process is carrying on with activity, j | and afterwards separate it. carefully f om j I ihe heap, and it will have been impreg- ; j na ed with die most fertilizing virtues.— i j The comppsts, which of late have attract- I ed so universal attention, and occupied ! so large aspacc in all agricultural publi cations originated in the discovery ol this absording power of ihc earth, and in the application of it to the most beneficial pur poses. A skilful agriculturist would no mere think of allowing a violent ferrnen- tation to be going on in his dung-hill, un mixed with earth or other matter, to fix and secure the gaseous eliments, than the distiller would suffer his apparatus to be set at woik without surmounting his still with the W'-rm to cool &, condense the rari tied spirits, which ascend in evaporation. In both, the most precious ma ter is that which assumes the aeriform state; and to behold it escaping with unconcerned in difference, is a demonstration of the most profound ignorance.”—N. E. Farmer. Latest from England. NEW YORK, JUNE 4. pers, hut we n’o not observe any other, comment on the subject, than that it was the only ccurse left to the President. Lord Cochrane is said to have arrived at Napoli de Romania on the 18th, where lie was received with the greatest enthu siasm. The Enterprise, steam vessel, destined for Loid Cochrane, was towed into Plymouth on the 22d April, having burst one of her boilers. From the Paris Etoile, April 23. Constantinople, March 26.—The Porte shews itself decidedly averse from accept ing the proposals of the English and Rus sian Ambassadors, in favour of the Greeks, and the Reis Effendi has been dismissed, because he aid not protest with sufficient energy against all intervention. Six thousand of the new troops are to march immediately to Salonichi, to go to the aid of Omcr Pacha, who is closely blockaded in Negropont. Mr. Stratford Canning and M. de Ribeaupierre have daily con ferences. They had fixed the20ihfor expiration of the time given for an answer, and yet they have not taken any*farther smps, though the Divan has not given them any official answer. Spain.—Letters from Irun say, that the Marquis dc Chaves, and his uncle, Silveira, were to arrive at-Irun on the 18th, to he sent from that place to the French territory] where they will be placed under the superintendence of the agent of the Police, stationed at Behabil.

Stod- ; tiie march of the English troops, to draw dard, arrived on Saturday night from Liv erpool, having sailed on the 27th of April, and brought regular advices to that date inclusive. The new administration had not yet been formed and much anxiety contin ued on the subject. A negotiation was going on with tiie Marquis of Lansdowne to bring in the Whig Party. Proposi tions which had been made to him, were expected to be decided upon the 26rh. Mr. Scarlett has accepted the office of Attorney General, Sir N. Tindal remains as solicitor General- The papers state,that Viscount Dudley and Ward, takes the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Aflairs ; but it is un derstood that the appointment is merely a temporary arrangement. The negociation with the friends of the Marquis of Lansdown is still proceeding, but nothing lias yet been settled. Mr. Backhouse, who was for many years private Secretary to Mr. Canning, and lately one of the Commissioners of Excise, sncceeds Mr. Planta asunder sec retary for Foreign Aflairs. Mr. Robinson will take, we believe, the title of Lord Goodrich, and Sir C. Abbot that of Lord TenterdeD. George the IV’s birth day was celebra ted in London with much eclat. His re cent political firmness has made him once more popular with the Lftndoners. Letters from Tripoli state,"that Major La ng ard Captain Clapperton met at Timbuctoo and were making their way to Tripoli. Lady Cochrane has arrived at Paris.— She could not, say tiie French papers, have reached it at a more seasonable and glorious time than on the day we learned the ariival of Lord Cochrane, at Napoli. In some weeks, it is'said, a ne v era will commence for Greece. . All the friends of Greece are to meet for the purpose of making a last and necessary effort. The French have hitherto shown too much generosity and predilection for this good cause to allow their zeal to cool at the mo ment ij is most needed. Greece, now that she is rising from the tomb, will ne ver forget all that has beeu done by our natioi, and especially by our beautiful and generous French ladies, who have dis played so much enthusiasm and devoted ness to save her from utter destruction. W e now make a solemn appeal to all per sons in France who attach some ccmse- jquence to die cause of independence, of nearer to the Spanish frontiers. The armies of the two nations are, as it were, opposite each other, but without shewing any signs of hostility. Lisbon. April 9.—The Romney, man of war, arrived on the 8th from England, having on boarp 250 troops. The Count de Cassa Flores, Spanish Ambassador, lias returned to Spaiu. His Secretary rc- Mains. We learn from Elvas, that 3000 Spanish troops are assembled at Caceses. It is re ported that they are only waiting rein forcements to invade Portugal. The brig of war Constencia, arrived here on the 3d from Rio Janeiro, having on board Counsellors Abrantes and Cas tro, the deputies to the Emperor, who left here in October. They .were well received by the Emperor, and bring fa vourable accounts of his determination to support the Constitution of Portugal. Extract of a letter from Panama, dated Mrrch 1.1827, “ There has been such work in Peru ! i Icviated, if not entirely removed, by the the accounts arc kept very secret by Go vernment ; hut enough has transpired to let us know that Peru and Colombia are at issue. It is said that all tiie Colombian troops that were at Lima, are imprisoned in the castles of Callao.

We have read with much pleasure, and profit too, the address of the Jackson delegates of.the Maryland Convention at Baltimore. We will publish it in our next, notwithstanding its great length. It is written with great talent and strength ol argument, while it preserves a numeration of feeling, suitable to the dignity of the subject. Its impression will he felt, let the reader’s political predilections be what they may. This address presents the whole grounds of difference- between the two g eat parties, in a more clear and. compiche'nsivc, and able manner, than any document which has preceded it. Its composition is attributed to Mr. Maxcy. and indeed, it carries in itself strong evi dences of no ordinary mind. The season of Fruit is here. Straw-bet ries, Plumbs and Raspberries have had their day and are gone. The Whortle berry, Blackberry, Peach and Waterme lon supply their place in Market, where the two latter, in particular, have math an earlier appearance than usual. It is a common, but wc believe, a very erroneous opinion, that fruit is unhealthy. There are no doubt some diseased stomachs-sonie particular idiosyncracies to which many varieties are offensive, hut every personV experienre will point out to him what is proper for him to c*at, & what to let alone.

The Administration.^—The formation of the new Cabinet proceeds so slowly that there is some reason to apprehend that the Parliament, tipon its re-assernblagq, will have no administration to support or to oppose; in which case the members may, by way of novelty, vote according to their consciences. It is not eiir inten tion to trifle with the time ond patience of our readers, by recapitulating all the rumours on the subject*# resignations and new appointments with which the public journals '-have teemed since we last ad dressed our readers on the subject. One of the morning papers, however, which ar rived here yesterday, contains a report of so curious a nature that we must notice it. Mr. Canning, as the editor of this journal intimates, only retains the premier ship pro tempore, with the view of resign ing it in favor of some other individual— a Whig it is presumed. In the meantime, it is added, that Lord Dudley is invested with the Foreign Seals merely as Mr Canning’s locum tenens, until the present Premier shall succeed in finding an elig ible person in.whdse favor he will resign the: first office of the state.
