House of Commons? Keb. 13 to 43. This debate, oue of unprecedented length in Parliamentary annals, was opened in a very full House by Lord John Kviiiu, who moved lor a committee of the whole House to take into consideration the stute of Ireland. Hu attacked the method ot governing Ireland pursued by the present government? "Ireland," he said, " is occupied, and not governed, hy those who now hold the reins ot power. (Hear, heur.) ? 1 say, and say it deliberately, Ireland is occupied, uud not governed by the present administration. (Hear, hear.) ? The government of this free country hu< been and should be a government ot opinion ; the present government iu Ireland is notorious.y a government of lorce." (Hear, hear.) fciver since the period of the Union, the Irish people had Iicvuuiuuu iu nun IU1 LUC lUlllllllClll VI promises msilll III (hum by .Mr. 1'itl, and those promises were not yet lutillud. 1'p to a very recent period Roman Catholics hud been systematically excluded hum all juries. She had uever eujjyed a franchise like Knglund? V' 1 may be told," said his lords hip. " that iu considering the state ol Ireland, we ought not to look to those iiuestions ol political franchise und political rights , that these will not put bread into the mouths of the iiuugry, or give employment to the unemployed ; that these ure not the remedies which Ireland requires iu her distressed condition.? 1 do not concur in such notions of the mutter. (Hear, hear) 1 cannot find any supjiort for them in the history ol this country and of its constitution, (lleur, hear) I have been accustomed to think tint the participation of equal rights, that the benefits of a iree constitution, are tne very first ami very best means by which we can impart prosperity to a country." (Hear, hour.) These views were remarkably confirmed by the opinions delivered both by .Mr. I'itt and by Mr. Kox in litej? " And let me not be told," his lordship continued, " that we are now to learn some more speculative and abstract wisiloin ; let us not be tcld that government can find means to give employment to a people without giving that people the benefit of the constitution? (hear, hear)?that they can withhold the franchise, ami yet confer prosperity ; it is not in their power to do so. (Hear, hear.) 1 tell them that with respect to Ireland?happily it is unnecessary to say with respect to Kugland?the best they cau do lor llie people ol tliut eountry? no doubt they may do other things, und adopt measures highly necessary?but the best tiling they can do for Ireland is to secure every man there in the en| joyment of his clear rights, and enablu every mau to he sure that he will be represented according to the principles of the constitution." (Cheers.) lint, said his lordship, alluding to the present Ministers, "I liuve no lielief that they intend to grant a tull ami lair franchise to the people ol Ireland." And he would usk the House to go into committeu to consider thut and other subjects. Many judicial olficus had become vacant uuder the Ministry, but, giving way to "an unjust preference and unfair suspicion," they hud promoted no Catholics O'Connell wus not the only muu who had attempted to sowthe seeds ot dissension and disliae betweeu the people of Kugland aad those of Ireland. Men now high in ollice ha l done so likewise, and been rewarded?not with a prosecution and the prospect of a prison?but with the highest judicial power in Kugland He himself did not disapprove prohibiting meetings daugerous from their numbers ; and if a proclamation to thut cil'ect bud been issued at first, be behevud Mr. O'Connell would have obeyed it. After their proclamation, Mini-ters might liuvu waited till some dangerous act should have been committed ; but they chose to prosecute for those very meetings which they hud so supinely sull'ored to proceed unreprovud. What he should propose, if the House went into committee, would he, firstly, to get rid of all sectarian policy ; secondly, to give a fair and equal franchise, corporate us well as parliamentary: next, to abolish the system of civil exclusion. Then, us to the question of the ecclesiastical establishment. His wish was, to see the ecclesiastical endowments applied to the religious instruction of allclasses ; but this would uot be feasible as yet: for in the existing state of feeling the priesthood would not accept a public provision ; perhaps the utmost that could at present lie done would be to make a liberal allotment for the education of the Irish clergy. The grant to thoir college,whether at Maynooth or elsewhere, should be the double of its present amount. The prohibition upon the itoman Catholic bishops against taking the titles of their sees should be abolished; and so should every other badge of degradation to the Roman Catholic clergy. But ]>er. haps the must dilticult of all these subjects wus that ol the disorders urising from the tenure of land. Mr. O'Counell hail said that the solution of this difficulty is full of danger; but there seemed, at all events, to be no necessity for (he collection of further evidence by a commission. He should wish to see an increase rather than a diminution in the number of the stipendiary magistrates; but lie could not venture to say that he knew of any complete remedy lor such an evil as thut which was connected with the existing tftniiri* lift rftlfltftil n ilnrv fpnm Kir U/.,l?-.r U..-I* of the favorable elt'ect produced on the Highlander* by the saying of George III, who, when told in hi* youth of th* repeated exploits of a Highland ollicer on the tide of the Stuart*, made answer, "Has he fought so well against me IT len 1 think he will tight well on my behalf." A umi1st disposition might bo losteied among the Irish toward the young Sovereign of the present day, and who would stand between her Majesty and such a consummation It would not, he trusted, be the llritish House of Commons that would so interpose. Mr. Skirl rose. He apologised for not having followed the Attorney General on the previous evening, principally from his wish to investigate the " very serious charge" ol having " packed" a jury in a case of murder. His object in that instance was to obtain a " mixed jury, which was composed of seven Cstholics and five I'rotcstant*. If the Attorney General, in the recent Slate trials, had followed his example, he would have taken a more merciful and a more judicious course. Every Itoman Catholic excluded, Protestants introduced, who, if not the personal, were at least the political opponents of Mr O'Conuell ; and no less than eight out of the twelve having taken an active course in opposition to him, some of them, whose names and sentiments he quoted, having committed themselves as the vehement partisans of " No surrender," and the "glorious and immortal memory." Whether foully or fatuously, a portion of the jury list was omitted, ami Mr. O'Connell was defrauded ol the benefit of the provisions of the act of Parliament. The man whom the Irish Catholics regarded as their" Liberator"had been convict confidence might have been rc-|>osed Tho Irish Attorney General denied having spoken harshly of his itoman Catholic fellow subjects, hut the reported speech contained the pnasage in which he declared his belief that Kom.in Catholic* liad no regard for the sanctily of an oath The Catholics of England were neither repealer* nor allies of Daniel O'Connell; but what effect had their proceedings upon them ? Even the Karl of Shrewsbury expressed his indignation that the Act of Emancipation was repealed <o far a* the jury box was concerned : Catholics, admitted to the legislature and the bench, to posts of honor and trust, were denied admission on a jury. Vet Lord kliot still professed his impartiality : like Mr. Baring's free trade, it was the " abstract." The Protestant Operative Society of Dublin had nddrassod Lord da Grey, deuounc] nig, In very strong language, the mass as Idolatrous, and ed ; hut a victory so obtained might be fur more lutal to the victors than the vanquished. everything showed the nniinwi of the Government. Mr. Blake, u catholic, was excluded from that meeting ?f the Privy Council which was assembled t? consider the f'lontarf proclamation?to which the Recorder, a Protestant, and the Reviser of the jury lists, was specially invited. This fact, trivial in itself, was significant when viewed in relation with other -ircumstances. But having issued that proclamation, and hruiigh the instrumentality of Mr. O'Connell escaped the Mirils of its late issue, why did they prosecute for "con piracy," instead of for holding " unlawful meetings," and editions language ? Was this a legitimate proceeding I Phe Irish Attorney General had confessed that the clamor gainst the Government short-hand writer, Mr. Bond Hughes, w is the prompting cause why he iiad pursued vlr O'Connell during the trials with so much |?eenness Rilttho Attorney Genera! omitted a very materia! portion >f his part of the case. Mr. Bond Hughes had fallen into i mistake with respect to Mr. Barrett, for which he was xposed to all this obloquy, and he anxiously besought the Crown Solicitor to have his information amended Was this done ? No! but Mr Barrett, the man whose liberty was thus affected by the mistake, was s'ill left under the effect of the warrant by which he was apprehended. The informations were carefully corrected as to the christian name of the Rev. Mr. Tier ley, but not the least notice was taken ol the grave blunder respecting the identity of Mr. Barrett ; and yet the Irish Attorney General made the clamour against Mr. Bond Hughes for his subsequently acknowledged, but uncorrected blunder, an aggravation ol tho case against Mr. O'Connell! It was the nractica in Kngland to give a list of witnesses, before trial, in order to enable defendants to prepare their defence. But an apidication never refused in Kngland?which the Knglish \ttornay General admitted to Tie matter of course?win refused in Ireland, notwithstanding the opinion* of Judged Burton end Perrin. Th? Iriih Attorney General boasted of having assented to the postponement of the trials ; tint it he had persisted in forcing on the case with the jury list of In43?a list which contained the names of only '.wenty-five Catholics, and which the recorder admitted was imperfect?much more serious imputations would have attacheil to him. The recorder was free from all moral blame, but not from the charge of neglect with respect to the omissions ia making up the lists. The Irish Attorney General had charged nlm with corrupting Mr. Magrath, a Catholic, an otf.cer in the employment of the Recorder, for the'improbablo an?l absurd purpose of removing Itoman Catholics from tlx; lists! This was urn run. The challengers traversed the array ; and if the rown joined irsne with them, the facts would have been promptly ascertained, and the accusation either set at rest, or the quashing or correcting sf the panel would I:a7e ensued. Bui instead of demurring, and admitting the facts for the sake of argument, the legal officers of the crown pressed on the case, with the decision of one n! the judges, Mr. .Justice Perrin, against the legality ot the jury panel. Heudrick, one of the jurors struck elf, had been alleged to he a Protestant and a conservative : but he was ascertained to he a Itoman Catholic ; ami yet Lord Stanley had chnrgvd him (Mr. Hliiel) with quibbling, because lie contended that Dunne, another juror, though a repealer, was not a member of the Repeal Association. Was there no difference between being an advocate of the repeal of the Corn t.ews, and a member of the Anti Corn Law League 7?(Hear, hear ) It was boasted that the government hail, on the ground of fairness, preferred a special to a common jury, because on a common Jury, tfte crown would have an unlimited right to challenge. Remarking on this pretence, Sir T. Wilde had said that the crown, controlled by public opinion, would not have lared to liavo challenged without limit: to which the Irish Attorney General had replied that he would have dared But a common jury, struck upon the revision of a sheriff , a man of honor, Mr. I.arouche, would have presented Protestants and Catholics indiscriminately, not repealers men of substance and respectability, in Whom )RK ] RNING, MARCH 25, 184' 1 to in an Catholic doctrines its blasphemous. Did the Lord Lieutenant resent tha insult to bis owit impartiality, and the feelings of his fellow subjects I >'o, he caused an acknowledgment to be returueil that the address was "warmly received." It did not become htm to speak of the Lord Chief Justice, because he was counsel "on the other side." But Loro Stanley, w ho hail been so indignant with the commentaries on the charge ol the l.hiel Justice, forgot his own motiun on Chief Earun Smith. Passing from this he Asked what would bo the moral effect of the verdict I Sir J.

'J here might be minor matters of detail ; but the great iiuesiion, alter all, was that of the two churches in Ireland?the oue without u revenue, but with a congregation?the other without a congregation, but with a revenue.

The right honorable and learned gentleman concluded with one ot his eloquent appeals. i he Attornkt Ux.mkk.il commenced by complimenting the Attorney General for Irulaud upon the able vindication ol his character and conduct,which they hud heard on a previous evening. He deprecated the discussion in that house ot matters which were the subject ol judicial investigation, uml he would, in the course of his observation touch as lightly as |K>H*ihle upon the conduct ol' the legal functionaries who were mixed up with the case. His right honorable and learned lriend, the member lor Edinburgh, had favored them with u brilliant oration, but it contained nothing that was in the least practicable. (Eoud cheers.) It had been suggested that the tiial of Mr. O'Counell ought to have been by a common jury, but lie would no more have thought of doing that than ol trying a case of high treason at the sessions. (Laughter.) lie contended that the crowu was perfectly justified in exercising its right ot challenge, but he was ready to ail mit, that had he been in the position ol State prosecutor, he would coin is paribus, have preferred leaving una Itemau Catholic? nay, ne would liuvc even gone further in order to consult public opinion. In the present case, however, lie believed that with regard to eight, it would have been a dereliction of duty on the part ol his right honorable friend the Attorney General to have left them on the jury. (Ministerial cheers ) The right honorable and learned gentleman then referred at some leugth to the mode in which the jury lists were l'i anted, and also to the law of conspiracy, which had continued the same for a long period ol tune (130 years,) without any complaint, or any suggestion ot amendment. It wus complained that the government, hy giving so long an impunity to these meetings, hud laid a trap lor Mr. G'Coiiuell, but lie thought the dismissal ol thu magistrates so eurly as May last, sufficiently indicated thu upiuion of thu executive, and set that question at rest. He then went oil to vindicate thu course which the Irish Attorney General liad adopted in conducting these prosecutions, and said, ii there wus any good proof that tin: trials hud been unfairly conducted, there would bo no hesitatiou in grunting a new trial Mr. O'Commf.i.l did not rise to say any thing of himself, and he hoped, ulter he had concluded, they would admit tliut lie had spoken as one who had no interest whatever in the trials, lie came there to protest in the name ol" his country against its occupation tiy a mill tury force. (Hear.) lie came there also to ask a simple question, namely, how was Ireland to be governed ! Cheers) He would not ask who was to govern it, although he might have his preferences. There was no'hing new in the system that had heen adopted by the present government towards Ireland. No our could deny that no country in the world ha 1 inflicted such evil, had occasioned so much persecution, or committed so many crimes upon unother, as Kngland upon Ireland. The noble lord, the member for London, had a'ly and Irankiy admitted that fact, and it had heen a'tcsted by the almost unanimous voice of the country, and of that House. (Hear, hear ) lie would not go further hack in the history of his country thun the period of the union, because he contended that from that lima Parliament was wholly responsible for what had taken place. The lion, aud learned gentleman then ralerred at some length to the condition of Irelund before and since the union, pointing out the rapid progress she had made from 17S'l up to IHOU, and the Increased consumption ol all the luxuries and necessaries of life during that period. During these eighteen years, while self governed, she had risen to an unexampled pitch ol prosperity, and would have progressed onward in her march of national improvement, hut for the unhappy measure of the legislative union. The great argument of Mr, I'itt and Lord Clare was, that Ireiund, advancing in tiie scale of nations, only required to he united to her more prosperous and commercial sister Kngland, to increase her prosperity three fold. The honorable and learned gentleman then referred to the works of Kohl, and other recent writers 011 Ireland, and also the reports of the I'oorlaw Commissioners, (or the purpose, of showing that there had been of late little improvement in Ireland, and that, on thu contrary, it had retrogrudod to a considerable extent. For all that thu House was, in his opinion, responsible, and he had no hesitation in sayiug, that since the union almost every measure they hail iutrodnced for Ireland hail been productive ol nothing but evil and mischief. In the name of his country he protested against the late prosecutions, and not only against the prosreutions themselves, but the manner in which they were conducted (Loud cheers.) There had been no instance ol the exclusion of persons from the lists 011 the ground ol their being Roman Catholic* from the time of Titus Dates; nor since that period had any judge ever delivered so partial aud one sided r charge to a jury. He was glad to find that it was the intention of the dovernmeet to give 4ii additional grant tor the purposes ol education; lint he would suggest that they should give the Roman Catholic bishop* a '/nasi rorjiorate character to enable them to transmit any property that might be bequeathed to them to their successors. Whatever steps the Government meant to take for the tranquillity of Ireland should he taken expeditiously; and he trusted the day was not far distant when he would sue Irishmen and Knglishmen, Catholic and Protestant, all united in one common feeling of brotherhood and affection. (Cheers) Sir It, lYm. denied the accuracy of the hnn. rnd learned member's statement as to the great happiness and prosperity of Ireland from 17SJ to the period of the Union, nnl quoted authorities to show that the corruption and profligacy of the Irish Parliament had redur< d that coun try to the condition ot a petty province. The |right lion, hart, then proceeded to romment upon the manner in which Lord John Russell had referred to Lord Lyndhurst, whom lie eulogized in the highest terms, and ridiculed the appointment of Lord Camplwll as Lord Chancellor of Ireland as being a gross alfront to thnt country, lie had always advocated the right of the Catholics to a fair share in the representation and otticcs of the state ince the passing of the relief hill. He then referred to the clamor that had been raised against the appointment of Mr. Sergeant llowley, a Catholic. He would only say one word 011 the subject ol the address of the Protestant ()|>erative Association. These addresses were matters of form, and when they hail come to him containing harsh and uncharitable sentiments, he had taken the liberty to rebuke them. 1 bey were chargeil with a desire to govern !r land by military force, but he wLhod to know to whom was it owing they were nimble to present reduced estimate* with regard to Ireland. In March, 1H>3, the imitation commenced ill Ireland, and that was conaideratily heightened by the introduction of the poor law bill, the general agricultural depression, and the alterations in tlie tariff Then followed the determination to agitate for the Repeal of the Union. The government resolved to rely upon the ordinary law, because, he declared emphatically, there waa nothing he deprecated no much as resorting to Parliament tor extraordinary power* upon the appearance of any nnusnal excitement. The noble lord's government, under similnrcLrcumstnncea, hnd introduced I c ? roioa Mil lor Inland. It ?a nM M they had en trapped the persons agitating lor a Itepeal of the Union, by making no declaration ol their sentiments, but he thought nothing could be stronger than thu declarations they had ndviied il"r Majesty to make o.i the subject lie thought ho had fully vindicated the conduct of the government with regard to Ireland, and lie should not be driven, by uny taunts, from the course which hewas re olvedto pursue, lie thought there should he identity of representation and of franchise with Kngland and Hcotland, and it was upon that principle the government intended to legislate. With regard to the Kstatdohed Church, he found it established in Ireland for a period ol two hundred and fifty years, and ho should maintain it as it had been guaranteed by ret of Parliament. It was upon that understanding that the Protestants had agreed to waive their objection, and ronaent to the K.manripation \ct. These were also the opinions of Hurke and (Irattan, and Lord Plunkett and Sir John Newport. After reviewing the policy of the Government towards Ireland at some length, the right hon. baronet observed, that if the agitation could onlv lie put an end to in'thnt country, he had no doubt it would moke rapid strides in the cause of social and commercial prosperity, and he hoped he would live to see the day when the differences of Saxon and Celt, and Protestant and Catholic, would he at an end. Whatever station 111 life he might ho placed in, nothing would give hint greater pleasure than ?o sea their beloved Sovereign placing her foot on the soil of Ireland, and lulling to rest all tnc evil passion* that had so long held sway there. (Cheers.) ford Johx Ht iski.i. rose to reply. He noticed some of the chief attacks on his motion by the leading members of the Government ; and brought up Lord Stanley, who emphaticaly denied that In quoting, on * former occasion, the words, "the minions ol popery," he either adopted them, or applied them to Roman fat holies. Lord John Russell then went into some partirulsr* respecting the retirement of Lord Plunket. " All ihe circumstances," said his lordship, "connected with that transaction cannot he detailed now, but some of them I may he permitted to mention. It had been stHted to Lord Melbourne that Lord Plunket, at his advanced age,was desirous of relinquishing his situation i the presont Lord Campbell cam* ta me and HERA 1. hi 1ml, a* a dissolution was depending, whether he was to i stand his election as Attorney-Uenerul I 1 communicated I with Lord Melbourne, aud he informed me that lie believed ' Lord I'luuket was about to retire; be added, that he would | < write u|>on the subject and Ihut a lie did retire, the i Attorney-General should be made Loid Chancellor.

Loud William Piuit and nm Kaki. ok Cardigan ? The action of crini. con. at the instance ol Lord William Paget against the Karl of Cardigun, was tried in the C ourt of Common Pleas on Tuesday. Sir T. Wilde stated the plaintiff 'a case, which was briefly this :?The plaintiff, having some suspicion of an improper intimacy between his wile and the defendant, procured a poison of the name of Winter to watch them, tin Saturday, the i:h of August lust, this person wa? placed tiudera sofa in the hack drawing room ut the pl.untill 'a house; w hile he was there, Lord t.'urdigun called upon Lady W.

Ou the following day (Sunday) tiie plaintiff told his wife that he was going to Woolwicli Willi ins soli, and they went out together Winter, in consequence of u previous uriangersent, wns again placed under the sofa; out, the defendant having called upon Lady Paget, Winter observed circumstances which amounted to a criminal intercourse. The plaintiff, being inlormed of this, sought to obtain redress by other than legal means; hut being unable to obtain it, had recourse to tile present uciiou. '1 lie uuion, prior to this occurrence, hud been, on tiie whole, a happy one, though the plaintiff was occasionally subject to sallies of trmjier. | 'The marriage of the plaintiff with Lady W. Paget, who was the daughter of General de Uotteuburg, in l?gl7, was first proved. Lady W. Paget was at the time tery young. Winter wus then examined, aud gave u detailed account of the circtiinstuuci s above mentioned. tie was then cross examined by the Solicitor General lie admitted that ho had no regular employ ment, though he had lately been ill the employment of ditfeicut per sons, lie had been clerk to u Air.

On the cross-examination of this witness, he said that for several months before these occurrences took, place, Lord W.

One night he brought a woman who staid with him all night. Vv itnass hail seen Captain Cauty there. Before he was at the White Bear, Lord William w as at Dnbourg's in the llaymarket, where he lived some months. Ludy W. Paget was then living at Portsmouth. Lord W.

Paget, the jury had heard, was not intimate with the mala relsiives of his family, but Lady William was on terms ol intimary with one of the most amiable of ladies on terms of intimacy w ith a lady of the highest rank, and graced with every quality that could adorn her sex and sta'mn. She wm on terms of intimacy with the Duchess ol Richmond What was the conduct ol the Duchess ' Lady W Paget was at her hoife on Monday night. The Duchess had heard the story which hsd been got Up to blast her reputation, yet she continued with her Orarn upon the same terms of in timacy as before Plio Duchess ol Richmond was the slater ef Lord W Tagst, and was not connected by blood 11 1 -J LD.

Paget ?u her relative, ahu had allow n hn Cut tlul iu the Itory againat hia wile,by continuing with her on the van.it term* ot intimacy a* previouaiy. The learned coun*et proceeded to examine the evidence of Winter Alter going over the detaiU of tlii* man'a lil'u, and dwelling up on thu ditferent act* of diaboaeaty which, on hi* cro**examination, he could not deny, allowed, by a number ot circumitancea, the incredibility of hi* *tory, and also it* Incomiklenciea w ith what he had previoualy sard. He alao further adverted to thu circumatance that Uie whole ol ttie c.ue i rated ou the evidence, and the unaupportcd evidence of Winter. There wan no tact adduced tending to prove the guilt of the defendant otherwive. What induced Lord W.

No such thing had evet occurred, lor 11 it had the plaiutiit would have endeavored to prove it. Alter commenting with great severity ou tho whole tenor of the plaintilt s conduct to his wile, he concluded by saying that the jury must silt the evidence ami look to the chaiacter ol the witnesses, anil see it they could act thereon. They must remember that the lady uccused w as one w ho had passed her lile without a stain upon hei honor, uud that she was still believed by the member* ol even her husband's funuly to bu unsullied in reputation. Were the jury prepared on tlie evidence before them to consign her to a lilt: of ignominy and misery? lie lelt sure that they would do Justice in this case. It whs not that he doubted w hut the result would be, but he did feel the imiiortance ol the consequence* involved, and it was that w hicti gave use to the anxiety expressed by him at the outset. 'They had seen the whole case, however, and ho felt satisfied that their verdict would not disappoint his expectations. The Solicitor-General having concluded, the foreman of the jury rose and said, "My Lord, we .ire agreed tolind a verdict lor the defendant;" the juiy having tnus decided, without the learned Judge having summed up the evidence. The verdict was received throughout the Court with an applause which the criers found it difficult to subdue. The Court, during the whole day, was crowded to suffocation, and the proceedings wetelistened to with intense interest.

Uirmikiham, Kacitssn. Mystkriotts Affair ?A most extraordinary affair occurred in this city yesterday, indicating n most nefarious attempt upon the life ol Mr. Denoon, or some other person The farts are these. Yesterday a box, about two feet long and a foot ami a half wide, was b it at S A. Di'iuum s shop, hy a drayman, marked "M. A. Lipscomb, caie ol 8. S. Denoon," and In ought from the sehr David Rogers, from New \ork. Mr. Denoon not la-nig atde to timt nny such person .is it was directed to, proceeded to open it. Luckily lie did so at the bottom ot the box. Had lie opened it at the top, his lib would probably have paid the forfeit. L'pon opening the box, lie lound a brace of horseman's pistols, one ol which w as loaded heavily with buckshot, and rocked, and so placed that nny person opening the box at the top would have been likely to receive the charge. 1 he triggers of the two were both secured to a string, and the pistols were covered over hy cases, so that a person taking hold of them would have caused the weapon to discharge. In the box were some di raying nine apples and oranges, placed there no doubt as a blind to deceive. Whether the ( apI.,in #.i II... iiui,i..l Unarm knows from whom the liox was received we do not know, but we ho|ie and trust that the wretch who attempted this foul deed ol murder will te ferreted out.

He, however, is safe, happily, and has made a brace ol pin tola out ol the affair, at all event*.?Hirhmmut Stay, Mnrrh n. Runaway Nborot.s.?We learn from the llunesville, (Mies.) Free Press, of the fir*t of March, flint psrt ill a gang of ninaway negroes have been caught It appear* that several farmers armed and itntioried themselves in the vicinity of the place, determined to secure -dive, if iioasihle, the whole gang. They had not heen waiting long in ambtiah before sis negroes ma le their exported appearance, when the company from tho country hade them surrender.

A blow from the barrel of tin) empty gun of ' King, dexterously dealt, soon laid hiin prostrate beside his fallen companions 1 The coiHiany from town who were w ithin kearing of the ri |?irt ol the guns, immediately hurried to the bloody m-encs of action and a sight there presented itself of the most revolting nature. Two negioes weltering in their own blood, and another stunned by the well aimed blow, so fortunately directed by Mr Khig, were writhing and groaning apparently under thejmost intense pain.
