DOMESTIC. I TREMENDOUS HAIL STORM AT PONTEFRACT.-On Wed- nesday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the wind blowing south-east, Pontefract was visited by a very alarm- ing and extraordinary storm of hail. After a peal of low muttering thunder, the storm burst in an awful and terrific manner, for the space of a few minutes, and the damage done to the windows is estimated to be from X100 to £ 150. The houses having a south aspect bear the appearance of an affray, where the breaking of windows had been the chief delight. The hot-houses in the town and neighbourhood are very greatly damaged, as well as all the sky-lights, the windows of the church, Court-house, &c. The hail-stones were of a very extraordinary size, a great many measuring not less than one inch and five-eighths in diameter, being variously shaped, round, oval, triangular, &c. and numbers, when taken out of the street, weighed half an ounce, pre- senting, in point of size, the appearance of a walnut. The thermometer stood, at this time, at about 73 in the shade. The wind was remarkably high and stormy.-DoncasteT Gazette. HAIL STORM.-On Wednesday afternoon last, the vessels in the channel near the Floating Light, were overtaken by a hail storm of greater severity than was ever remembered by the oldest seamen. Hail-stones, or rather pieces of ice of the size of nearly an egg, fell in all directions, The sto'rm lasted about a quarter of an hour. On the same day a dreadful hail storm visited several parts of Denbighshire. At Kinmel Park, the stat of Lord Dinorben, a shower of irregular masses of ice, some measuring four inches in cir- cumference, dealt destruction all around. In the gardens the demolition of glass alone is estimated at £ 100.—Liver- pool Chronicle. The conduct of Mr. Macaulay has given the highest satis- faction to his constituents, and to all friends of Negro eman- cipation throughout the country. When our representative had heard the plan of ministers, and found that it was de- formed with the great vice of compelling the slaves to buy their own freedom, as well as with other faults of detail, he frankly informed Lord Althorp that he must both speak and vote against it, and therefore tendered the resignation of his office. At a Cabinet Council held on the same day, his ob- jections and his resignation were considered; and the Cabinet wisely determined to leave their plan open to mo- dification, and to request Mr. Macaulay to retain his office until he should see whether such changes might not be adopted as would remove his objections. We have reason to believe that Mr. Macaulay received every possible mark of respect and kindness from the members of the Cabinet; and there is ground to hope that the weight of his talents and character may be eminently useful to the cause of the slaves, as well as to the English public, in inducing ministers to abandon the objectionable parts of their plan. It will be remembered that this is not the first occasion on which Mr. Macauley has'given the strongest proof a public man could give, of his sincere attachment to colonial emancipation, and and of the high place it holds in his regard. In 1831 he tendered to the Marquis of Lansdowne, the patron of the borough for which he then sat, the resignation of his seat, on the ground that he felt bound to oppose the government on Mr. Fowell Buxton's motion. The Marquis character- istically told him to act according to the dictates of his con- science. He afterwards voted against ministers on the same subject, within a week of taking office. Conduct more honourable to all parties has seldom been exhibited and our earnest hope is, that the Cabinet may now add to its exemplary candour, by going the whoie length of righteous principle, and straight-forward manly policy, and consenting to the unconditional and immediate emancipation of the slaves.-Leeds Mercury. Doctor Hennis, who was shot in a duel by the Sierra Leone judge Jeffcott, on the 10th inst., has since died, and the judge has got off in the Britomost. By a parliamentary paper, it appears that the annual expense of the island of St. Helena to the East India Com- pany, is £ 83,000. THE LATE MURDER AT CHELSEA.—During the last few days a great sensation has been excited in the public mind, by a man named Sharpe voluntarily surrendering himself, and stating, before the Magistrates of Queen-square, that he was one of the persons concerned in the murder of Miss Catherine Elmes, at Chelsea. The nature of the examina- tion was such as to excite a suspicion in our minds that the man was an impostor, and the result of the inquiries which were on Saturday instituted upon the subject has confirmed the opinion we at first entertained. 'Sharpe, whose real name we believe to be Knight, has been known in West- minster, for many years, as a notoriously bad character. He got his living principally by passing bad coin, a quantity of which he always carried about with him in his mouth to es- cape detection. About twelve months since, he entered the station-house in the New-way, Westminster, with a bundle of bloody clothes under his arm, and stated that he had murdered his two children, and that he wished to be taken into custody for the crime. He was accordingly detained, and the inspector and one of his men proceeded to Sharpe's' house, when it was satisfactorily proved to them that the children had died of the measles, and that the blood on the clothes was caused in a fight between him and his wife, during which Sharpe had destroyed almost every article of furniture in the place. At a subsequent period, Sharpe again surrendered himself to the police, and charged himself with having committed a felony at a lady's house, when, upon inquiry, it was ascertained none had taken place. In fact, it has been his invariable practice, for a long time past, when intoxicated, to request the police to take him into custody, and he has frequently been incarcerated until sober. After Mr. White had remanded the prisoner, Clif- ton, the policeman (to whom Sharpe surrendered himself as one of the murderers of Miss Elmes), visited him, in prison, for the purpose of hearing any thing further which he might have to communicate. We are positively assured that on this occasion the prisoner declared he was not only not concerned in the murder, but that lie knew nothing what- ever about it, and that all he had stated was totally false. The exertions of the police to trace out the murderers of the old lady have hitherto proved fruitless.- Observer.
THE " NATIONAL CONVENTION…
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION AFFRAY. On Monday morning last (being the fourth day of the sitting) the coroner's jury assembled at the Calthorpe Arms Inn, Gray's Inn-road, at eleven o'clock, and the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. The great majority of the evidence de- scribed the attack upon the people to have been totally uncalled for, and it was stated by some witnesses that the leaders of the mob might, have been apprehended without difficulty by a very small body of policemen, and that no disposition to resistance was evinced by the people till they were rushed upon and wounded by the police, who knocked down every one within their reach without mercy or discrimination, and without calling upon the meeting to disperse. It was also stated that the deceased (Cully), just before he received the fatal wound, went out in front of the ranks, and brandishing his stick, exclaimed, Now go it." He then rushed to seize a banner, and in the scuffle was stabbed. On the other hand it was stated, by some policemen and others, that the affray was commenced by the mob. The only witness who testified to having seen the blow inflicted by which Cully lost his life was Mary Hamilton, whose examination was as follows I am servant at the Magpie and Stump, Fetter-lane. This day week I came to see the meeting. I came through the posts in Calthorpe-street, and on going up on the right-hand side, between three and four o'clock'in the afternoon, I met the police- man who is now dead. He asked me what was the reason 1 came there, and said I had better be at home than in a disturb- ance. While I was talking to him I perceived a man rush to- wards him from the mob, with something in his hand, with which he made a thrust at the policeman, but I could not distinguish what it was. The man said I shall do for the I said, for God's sake let me out, and I hastened away as fast as I could. I saw the deceased after he was dead, and knew it to be the same person who spoke to me. The instrument which the man had who rushed towards the deceased was like an instru- ment to sharpen knives on. I was knocked down, and my clothes were torn. The man who stabbed the policeman was a pale, thin-visaged man, with a long nose, and seemed very ferocious. I did not take particular notice of the man who rushed towards .ED the deceased, and should not know him again. I do not know who knocked me down. I was not struck. The instrument appeared like a butcher's steel, and was as long as my finger. I did not see the policeman strike the man first, nor had he said any thing to him to provoke him. I do not know how the man was dressed. I saw flags and banners, but the man who stabbed the deceased did not carry any. I am positive that the thrust was made at the deceased's left side. I was taken by an in- spector to see the place where the man was stabbed. I am sure that the policeman saw the man make a rush upon him. He held up something in his hand, but I cannot tell whether it was his staff or not. A letter was handed to the coroner, which had been received by a Mr. Stallwood. It was without signature, and the writer stated that he was the person who inflicted the wound upon Cully but that he did so in his own defence, having been pre- viously illtreated by the police, who struck him about the head and face, and knocked out one of his eyes. The coroner de- cided that the letter could not be received as evidence. The jury retired at six minutes to seven o'clock, and in about half an hour it was generally reported that 16 of the 17 jurymen had agreed to a verdict condemnatory of the conduct of the police, and that one was opposed to that verdict. A communication was made to the coroner about half-past eight that there was no likelihood of their agreeing. The coroner said that they would agree when they became a little more hungry but the jury several times sent a similar communication, and with no better success. At half-past nine o'clock the jury returned, and the foreman informed the coroner that they had agreed upon the following VERDICT :— We find a verdict of 'Justifiable Homicide,' on these grounds: that no Riot Act was read, nor any proclamation ordering the people to disperse—that the Government did not take the proper precautions to prevent the meeting from assem- bling, and that the conduct oj the police was ferocious, brutal und unprovoked by the people; and we, moreover, express our anxious hope that the Government will in future take better pre- cautions to prevent the recurrence of such disgraceful transactions in this metropolis." (Loud cheering.) The Coroner said—I do not know how you can say all these things on the evidence which you have heard. The only evi- dence which you have had to shew you how this man met his death, was that of the young woman who saw the stab given to a man who was acting in a laudable and unoffendingmanner; and how any one on the jury can justify such an act, I don't un- derstand. I hope, gentlemen, you will reconsider your verdict. You are not here to try the conduct of other persons, whether in the Government or the Police. This, in mv opinion, is no ver- dict. (Cries of Oh, oh !") Indeed, it'isn't. It was not justifiable homicide. It was either wilful murder by some one you do know, or some one you don't know. foreman: We have patiently considered our verdict. There have been conflicting opinions amongst us but we have all anxiously compared our opinions and that is the conscientious verdict of us all, patiently and carefully formed with the most anxious deliberation. Coroner You are called upon to say how Robert Cully came by his death, and the only evidence you have to decide upon is that of the young woman who saw him stabbed. Several of the jury exclaimed, "We do not believe her; no, not one of us."—Coroner: And why not 1-A Juror: Because she was contradicted by other witnesses. She said she was two minutes talking to the policeman, and it was proved by all the other wit- nesses that that was impossible. She was tutored by the police and acknowledged to having been with them ever since that day. Why ask us to give a verdict against our consciences 1 Coroner You say there were no precautions. I think there were plenty of measures.—A Juror There were no measures to prevent the meeting and the means employed to disperse it were disgraceful.—Foreman We are all of opinion that if 100 policemen had occupied -the ground, this man would not have been slam. Another Juror said We only wonder that there were not more lives lost.—Coroner Well, gentlemen, your verdict is, that Robert Cully was killed with Justifiable Homi- cide.— Jurors We do.—Coroner (to the Foreman) WelJ, sir I shall strike out all the rest. (The coroner here drew his pencil across all the words that followed "Justifiable Homicide.")— loreman I cannot agree to that, sir.—All the Jury Nor any of us. Foreman Before God and our country—on our solemn oatns—we have given the subject all the consideration in our power; and that paper, which I have handed to you, contains the judgment in which we are unanimously agreed. If you strike out any part of that, it is not our verdict. We have told you our verdict but we would not give a verdict of justifiable homicide, standing by itself.-Coroner So you say it was justi- fiable, because some persons broke other persons' heads some half hour after the man was mlmlered.-A Juror We are not of opinion that the heads were net broken till afier the man was killed. If you record any verdict without the whole of what we say, it will be a false and untrue verdict; it will be your verdict and not ours.—Foreman If proper measures had been taken either by reading the Riot Act or a proclamation, or any otlw means, we would not bring in a verdict to justify the" homi- cide. Therefore, to let that verdict go abroad alone would be very dangerous, and it might be thought that we justi- fied the stabbing a policeman who was legally employed. -Coroner: I think that is the fact-Foreman: No; on the contrary, we wish to give the police every protection.-Coroner What you call your verdict don't sound like it I don't think a fair ^rdict. l ou are finding fault with everybody with a vengance. What reason was there to stab the man ?-J uror Mr. Coroner, do you not recollect that before there was any stab- bing or throwing of stones, or any other violence, a man rushed out from the body of police, and violently struck about him, having said to those behind him, Now, go it, boys." We are of opinion from the evidence that this was the same man. We are all of us men who have families, and some stake in the country indeed I think there are none of us but have some little property. We all of us are of opinion about the impro- priety of that meeting, and we are far from liking mob meetings. If the police had acted with propriety, we would all of us have turned out to assist and protect them. (Hear, from the rest of the jury.) We blame the government and the police, because they made no attempt to prevent the meeting. One hundred men upon the ground in the morning, or the expostulations of a magistrate would, in cur opinion, have prevented any meeting.-Coroner: Instead of inquiring how the man was killed, you are trying the police, and other people, for quite different things.-Foreman It is the conduct of those people which justifies us in giving that verdict. If precaution had been taken properly, there would have been no murder.—Coroner How do you "think you can justify a man for murdering this policeman, who offended no one and who was giving advice to that woman whom we heard 1- Several Jurors Her evidence was disproved. She is not worthy of credit. A Juror added—I have seen her drinking gin on the leads of this house with a crowd of policemen, with whom she admits she has been since the day of the meeting She is still there drinking, though she swore this morning that she was in a hurry to go home, as she had been ordered not to stay long. —toreman We can give no other verdict. We are of opinion that this man would not have lost his life had proper measures been taken. No one saw the stab given. We are of opinion that it was given in the confusion which the violence of the man himself produced. The coroner continued for a great length of time his endea- vours to persuade the jury to alter their verdict, but without effect. The foreman replied to his remarks, by savin™ "Let me refer you, sir, to the testimony of Mr. Goore. YOU Will re- collect, sir, the treatment which he received, and the remarkable expression he used, that if he had a weapon, he would have felt himself justified in using it, and when he saw how the police be- haved, he said, if he could, he would have cut their heads off. We have told you we will not alter a letter cf our verdict. let us not then waste any more time in this trifling contention, which has already consumed nearly two hours. In regard to our oaths, our duty to God, our country and our King, we can give no other verdict." The coroner at length agreed to record it, but added, that he thought it was a disgraceful one. Upon leaving the room, the jurors were most vociferously cheered and numbers of persons pressed forward to shake them by the hand. Ihe proceedings did not conclude till past eleven o clock at night.
