Slade ) was picked up bleeding from the nose , mouth , and ; ears ; and the other individual was bleeding from a wound on the back of his head . Both the gentlemen were immediately carried into one of the rooms in the tavern , where Mr . Slade soon expired ; and his fellow-sufferer was in such a dangerous oondition that it was considered advisable to have him immediately conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital , where he at present lies in a most precarious state . Other witnesses spoke to the same effect . They said the prisoner pushed all persons alike , whether thov had or had not tickets .

      The prisoner , having been cautioned by the Magisstrate , said that he was desirous of giving an explanation of the unfortunate occurrence himself . He then proceeded to describe that , on the night in' question he attended at the Montpelicr Tavern at the request of a friend of his , named Eimnett , who gave the ball , to take tickets at the tmirance of the room ; that while he was engaged in the performance of that duty , hearing a noiso , and . soring his friend in a scuffle below , l > e ran down to his assistance , and that while ho was i > el < iw vlie hamster * < ravv way , and the deceased ami ; Mr .

Tl . e ajiplicaiioii was inaiiv to Mr . Adaiiis and other justices , who were not parties to the original conviction , and the > , on tliat ground , refused to grant the warrant . Another application was snbsequfiidy made to Messrs . Reid nnd Lucas , who hau convict < il in the first iiiiUmce , hut the person who w-a * then produced by Mr . Richards to prove tile demand of the amount from the defendant failed to satisfy the bench thai he had done so , and they again refused to commit the party , and the application was now renewed a third time .

      Mr . Richards , baring made his application to the bench , expressed an opinion to the efl ' ect that there had been unnecessary obstacles thrown in the way of the prosecutor by the bench . Mr . Adams denied , on the . part of himself or his brother magistrate , that they had any intention to throw obstacles in the way of the proceeding . The object sought for was to deprive a poor man of his liberty many months after the conviction , and it was the duty of the magistrates to take care that proper legal steps were taken . Mr . Richards on the former occasion had expressed an opinion that it was not necessary for the same magistrates who had convicted to sign the commitment ; and he ( Mr . Adams ) entirely differed rrom him on that point , and would certainly not have signed the commitment , unless the Court of Queen ' s Bench told him he was bound ' to do so .

      Tin Chairman expressed his opinion that the whole proceeding was of a must extraordinary character , and thai the pre * vnt application ought not to have been made . Jr turned out in the course of the proceedings , thai the police vy .-re in the habit of being engaged as informers in cases where they actually km w nothing of the circinn stances .

      The application was refused , and Mr . Adams , at th conclusion of the proceedings , said he thought that th bench , after what had passed that day , ought to mak some rule with regard to making the police appear as in formers in cases they had nothing to do with , and of th facts of whicfc they were entirely ignorant . It was cal culated to create inconvenience in many ways , and wa also likely to bring , them into very undeserved odium witl the public .

      It appeared bv the evidence , that the prisoner was in the service of " the child ' s father , Mr . Silva , and Leah Aurons was her fellow-servant , in whose box was placed a sovereign and some silver , thefonner of which tlie prisoner stole by breaking the lock . No doubt could lx > entertained but the object she had in view in taking the money was to promote , more successfully , her alioininalile designs upon the child Julia Silva , whom she induced the next day to go out for a walk , when , after buying her some cakes and other trifling things , she placed her in a cab and caused her to be driven to ( harles-eotirt , in the Strand , a locality well-known as the resort of the most j > ro / ti < r ; ite and infamous characters .

The deeased , it appeared was a womanof the town , whom the prisoner was in the habit of visiting . The night before deceased ' s death she had partaken ot some brandy bitters with the prisoner , which was supposed to have contained the poison described in the indictment . The deceased exhibited before and after death symptoms of having been poisoned , but the medical evidence on the trial shewed that this was at least a matter of great doubt . Under these circumstances the Jury returned a verdict of " Not Utility . "

      of frequent recurrence , and productive of much violence to his family , towards whom at other times he displayed the utmost affection and kindness . On the 10 th . of October he awoke his wife in the middle of the night to " wipe away the blood from a thousand spears which had penetrated his side , " and called up the children and his wife to look at the wretches who persecuted . 'him , and whom he described to be standing at the foot of the bed—there being , in fact , no blood nor person visible except to his own disordered imagination . In one of these fits of insanity he had stabbed his wife with a penknife , and afterwards cut his own tt roat in three places . The wound given to the wife was not at a !

The Irish people had been heretofore kept in subjection by their disunion among' themselves , but a better day was dawning upon them . The Repealers had ; behaved in the noblest manner on the day before , and the effect must be most salutary on the cause of Ireland .

      ) lF . rr .. \ i . iv : ) . o \/ n >\ . —THrji . sp . iT , \<» V . 28 , IS-J-1 . — Mr . O'Connoll's speech at the l . imeriek ban < iiiet has given great satisfaction to the Repealers of this metropolis . Now that he professes to nave eschewed Whiggism and Federalism , it is expected that lie will for the futmie unswervingly adhere to the path of simple Repeal . His experiment , of trying to give to Federalism ' a locality and -a name" having failed , is a cause of limiieh gratulation to the ardent Anti-Unionists , who are now more sanguine than ever of the ultimate success of the cause they have so much at heart . It is expected that a remodelling of the Wardenmote will shortly take place , and the sooner this is done the better .

      The castigation given in the Star of last week to the tergiversation of the Xnti » n—its pandering to Whig notions one week , and denouncing them the next—thoiiiflv considered to be rather ) severe , is admitted to be but too well merited . The triumph of Repeal over Federalism is another instance of the right views tg ^ en by the great bulk of the operatives .
