      T 3 tte Crown , all throngh , has proseeuted with the tttmost malignity . The odds haTe beea most frightfcl against the poor prisoners . For my own part , I wonM not nndertake my task again for any ¦ maderation bat that of procuring jnstice . Every pg& who eomes from curiosity or whim , supposas bisWf entitled to support . The poor people who bawbeenindieted were naturally anxious to make the test defence they eonld , and brought each and Vreiy « oe groups of-witnesses on the very first day of the Commission , not one of whom has been exijmned . Mrs . Williams brought thirteen , not one

All here is turning in fa-ronr of the prisoners , and eTery con-nctton hfi tends to disgust the public . I never saw so feme a set of fellows as the traitor * . I shall , when . time affords , put the whole matter fairly and disttietly before the public . So ferfrom checking Chartism , the Counsel and many called " respectable" witnesses are declaring themselTes Chartists . TJbe Whigs have done more at Monmouth for -Chartism than I have done all my life . I wish them well orer the holes they hare dug for themsehes .

      I haTe not eren now told yon a hundredth part oi * kat I had intended . No more of the prisoners wOl be tried for Treason : they hare had too mnch weady ; and those who were arraigned ai traitors on Tuesday week , are now to be indicted as Rotors . When I hare completed my work , an * ecoont of erery farthing spent shall be laid before «» e public , as well as a list of subscriptions , and then - ^ erhapi , for the first time , the Talue of arrangemeni Wfflbeseen .

      Dbab Sir , —A letter haring appeared in your Sper , written . by Dr . T * yjor > of the National nTention ^ reflecting on th * ' political character of Mr . Join- Sibon , » t « atiT 8 of this town , " and now , I bt&jpfe , an- accredited Chartist Missionary in . Swt&nd , vui ^ which letter is calculatedtoinjura . him in that * apa * ity , I am anxious , asfarai in me liea , tdwecuemy ^ iond from the obloqny now sought to be caftt opoa him . Of Dr . Taylor I know little or nothing , tutof Mr , Sibon I can spaak from personal knowledge , oaring had the honour of his acquainta' ce for ajbout ten years ; and I safely declare that n . thing can be more unfounded than the insinuations thrown out against him by Dr . Taylor . Mr . Sibon ever has bean , and . I am bold to say , Btiil is , a warm and fearless jadrocate

      of the rights oi man , and a determined'Obpbnent of tyranny and oppression , is whateTei ' ehafce they may shew themselres . I hare always-found him a steady , consistent , and uncompromising friend of liberty . In a word , I belie Te him to bff 5 atW 6 patriot and what object Dr .

Sir , I am too well eonnnced of your sense and lo ? e of justice to offer any apology for troubling you with these remarks , made as they are in defence of one , whom I am pers uaded , has been unjustly treated .

      TO THE EDITOR OV TUB KOBTHSRK STAK . Sir , —In answer to that strange , most uncandid , and unfair letter of Dr . Taylor ' s , which appeared in your paper of the 28 th of December , I hope to be enabled to satisfy a generous public , by a simple statement of facts . I went , I own , with a letter of recommendation from Mr . Lowry , of Newcastle , to Carlisle ; and surely , in the eyei of some , ' at least , such a letter would be considered as good an introduction as one from Dr . Taylor ; hnt the public are told that 1 was not countenanced ty the Doctor . Now , in answer to that I hare only ' to say that I saw nothing but siena of the sreatest

      friendship , and I beg , moreerer , to assure them that he desired me in the morning previous to my leafing Carlisle to call upon him ; and I must declare that he , in my opinion at least , parted from me with the best of feelings and greatest of friendship . With respect to Winlaton , and my being on a beggiag excursioD , for this , he says , is all he knows of me , allow me to say the ChaTtists of . that place asked me to stop , and to which I consented , and for doing so Dr . Taylor advises the people of Scotland to be on their « uard against me , let the Chartists of Scotland , with whom I haye been , say if I have ill advised them , and as to being a Missionary of the Northern Union , or rather calling myself so

      . ( gracious heaven , what an affront , ) ' all that ever I said connected with this affair , ( to the honour of the Northern Union be it spoken ) wa ? , he desired me to do all in my power to further the good , the glorious , the just , and righteous can ^ e of Chartism , which I will promiso tht m , Dr . Taylor , and the public at l argo , I eTer will to the best of my ability . I am ready to declare on oath , before Go d and my country , that I neTer represented myself as sent out by Mr . Henry Bowman , -of Carlisle , and what I haTe done to make the man whom I thought my friend b « - come so dire a « foe I am at a logs to conceive .

      tor my political character I refer you to Mr . Bair-? tow of the West-Riding of Yorkshire ; he has been with m « private and public , and I bare mo doubt will readily answer from what he haijeen , is / his belief of me . I would refer you also id Mr . Martin , Secretary of the Working Men ' sVAsso ea ^ tion of Wakefieid , to which I belong , and by-whicbj I wag employed last tummer , as oae-. of their agitating eounsek aud : if these be noi sufficient , I will . giTe the names of twp Whigs of my native town , I ' eTersham , in the county of Kent , Wm . Hills , and Edwin Watsou , Towncouncillor , to boot , and challenge them to prove that 1 have ever been anything other than a-patriot , aud consequently a friend te huwaaity .

      company . There were two informations : one for having removed and taken away part of the meter fixed by the Company in his premises ; and the other lor burning Gas in an improper manner . Mr . Raper stated , that on the defendant ' s meter beins ; inspected on the 20 th of December last , there was no registration of the quantity of Gas which had been consumed ; and , on examining into the cause it was found that the inlet pipe had been sorewed from the meter , and the outlet pipe severed by a knife , the ends being neatly fastened together , covered over with woolfen cloths , and so secured as , to render detection impossible , except by minuto scrutiny . The inspector , j > n making the discovery , named it to the defendant , and then returned to the office , to report

      the circumstance there . Accompanied by Mr . Edmond , he went back j and on his return Holmes was engaged ins replacing the pipes in their original poBilbpn . The mspector arid Mr .

Mr . Raper observed that the defendant had previously admitted tho facts and he ; considered tho defence they Bet up as an aggravation ; the penalty was five pounds in each case , with forfeiture of three times the amount of Gas consumed

The Magistrates said that both cases were clearly established , and , at Mr . Raper ' 8 suggestion , the fine in each case was fixed at Is .

      BOLTON . j PcfBtic Meetiko . —On Monday , thetdth inst ., a meeting of the Chartist and Total AbatineHoe bodies was held in the large . room or the Tempeance Hotel , having for its object the formation of a Total Abstineace Universal Suffrage Association . The meeting was large , enthusiastic , and unanimous beyond : the anticipations of the most ianguine of its projectors . Such is the interest manifested by the working men of this town in our fresh attempt to revive ^ democracy , that we expect to make the new association a mightier engine in the good causa than tho glorious old Radical , and always-up-tothe mark , Bolton could ever beast . Several of the

      most prominent of the old association attended , and pledged themselves to render all the assistance in their power ; and the committee appointed on the occasion consists of equal numbers of these staunch democrats and persons who have proved themeelves consistent , moral and poUtioaV reformer * by a long abstinence from the dealdy drags sold in the drunketies , and aU active co-opetatiou with us in our ttugglurf right againatioiwitt . Thepe are cheer . iog signs—gleamg of blessed renlhine to the vision of the tree patriot who moprn » for the emancipation of hi « country from the thralla . of caste , and the miseries produced by exclusive legislation , arid who would at once elevate the moral and intellectual

      condition « f his countrymen , and make them free , intelligent , virtuous , and happy , by blendirg habits of thinking and sobriety with a love of democracy and justice . It is the ardent ' wish ' of the Chartists of this towu that their Mlow-bonosmeu throughout the country may go and do likewise ; convinced that our common object can never be achieved but by an united , sober and eaergetio band , determined te strike the blow that bondsmen ought to strike , and no longer to voluntarily furnish to a wicked Government its means of oppression . The chair was taken by Mr . T . Fiuhwiek , who opened the proceedings by an appropriate and clever address , at the close of which , he called upon Mr .

      Diggle to move the firat resolutioo , which was uconded by Mr . Mensis , and carried unanimous ' y .. Mr . Parkin-on followed , and spoke attetne length upon the advantages of total abstinent )© , pnmng that there was no hepe of liberty or permanent prosperity for the working man till he became sober and intelligent . At thir stage of the business , Mr . Warden announced to the meeting , that he had to attend another at the old room , which he regretted , as he had been much gratified by what he had witnessed since he came amongst them , and . had intended faying something to thom . before he withdrew :

      but , for the present , wishing-them € hod > speed , aod and hoping to meet them often in future ,, he would bid then good night . After a- few words from . Mr-Ling * ard , Mr . Kenyon rose ,, and spoke at considerable length in explanation of his views of the principles of the United Association ^ and : arguedi that drunttnne ?? , although the sovroe of all thow erils ascribed to it by the previous speakeis , naa , nererthele ^ , and without doubt ,, tke effect of bad lairs , asdithe natural oonoomitant a £ a lack of sound knowledge , which , under a g < wr « fB ment formed by the- people , would not exist . After

      * * ' * " ' 1 < \ bidding his auditorMjotta except any material 2 ut « ra tion of their nuseaies . till ikej possessed th * powey of altering thosar laws , whw « h , by . sendoiug their homes comfortle * ! drove them to vel&destraouon" b y the intoxicatix 4 draogkk , he eooelttded by exhorting them to leni all th&r peyrow to the aoly work , and nrver oeiee their exertions till they bad put to tbe n ' jute « verythvQg ia the shape of drunkoriness anl ' iyrant ^* Th e CbairnuiB then read the rule * , « njT . after tec « iving a v » t « of thanks , dissolved one of tb / e mosi karmojrious meetings it waj ever our lot to V ahold . Mr . "Warden at tbia , instant re-entered the ' room , and informed the meeting that he had just

      1 ?* received the letter of Dr . Tajlor to the peeple of England , and if they had so objection he would read itiotkem . Of course the offer waa accepted with avidity , each man resumed big seat , and those who had been outside all the night for want of r « om , pressed in to hear till the place was absolutely suffocating , poring the perusal of the letter Mr . W . was fre «[» entiy \ interrupted by the irrepressible ebullitions of 9 ver boiling excitement which the letter generated , and at its clone such was the acclamation simaltaneonslyseak forth from every throat , that an attempt t * dvscrik-e it would be nothing short of presBtoptif n . The meeting then separated , vow ing vengeaae * against all- ' oppression . —C ' orrfapow itnt .

      " ^• Monttouth , Wednesday , Jan . 15 . -1 Kace yeaterday nothinj ? important has transpired . The Moamoath farce still goes on . Williams is w ^ cl »» rjan £ in ^ ones ' 8 eas « . I need saj no » ore . i « ni 1 «» rtay tired of English justice , th » law of treason , and earalry jurors » for it now " appears that our pane | has upon it vast numbers of the Christ Chure ^ ar idother cavalry corps . Is this trial by jury or martial law I

      I must 6 ow give yon a most striking instance of the critical manner in which juron represent society . The first man called upon Jones ' s jury , who should have bean the Foreman , had but the bare qualification which the law requires ; he had a fustian jacket and blistered hands , but was shaved for the occasion . The attorney for the prisoner was , of course , anxious to get a jury as nearly upon a level with the prisoner , in-point of rank , as possible . The four first were poor looking men , and occupied the front row ; the four next , the challenges , thirijMiTe , being nearl y exhausted , were a

      degree above GaT working class in appearance . They ooenpied the second beneh . When the challenge of the prisoner " were exhausted , the Crown put aside some jurors , who were £ 50 freeholders , and one who was rated at £ 100 a year , and at l ast succeeded in getting four gentlemen of property , who occupied the third and last 'bench . Judge of our astonishment when , upon the following morning , the order of things had been completely rerersedi The ariBtbrei ^ flwr ** Barber , bei ^ - ^ k ^ Ja -4 ^ ^ the unwashed in the rear , as much as possible out of riew .

      When ^ poor Jones was called upon for hisdefeaee , he spoke in a firm tone , and said , that the reason of some going armed was to provide thamselfefi against the possibility of such an attack as had been made upon the peaceable inhabitants of Birmingham by the London police . We are now in the fourteenth day , and have not yet got through three eases ; more than <* e hundred remain yet for trial , with a townifjflK tf witnesses , and every article of food and accommo dation raised to more Item double tbe usual prfee . some poor witnesses paying five shillings a nightfor a miserable bed , and in Bke proportion for \ everything else .

      If Frost , Williams , and . Jones are traitors , I have never attended a single public meeti » £ ont of doors , or debate iff fife House of CommonB where treason—rank treasonjiiaB not been spokes The dvert acts of the prisoners hate been eom ' aiitted by the advice which parliamentary leadere haTe giTen . thus making them the desigtieo , and the less educated , the executioners . Jon «« is sure to be found g&ilty , andbothing will make me more strenuously advocate Universal Suffrage than the

      specimen which I have had of the glory of our jury laws and the description of our prisons . Give ae martial law ten times « ver in preference to a Monmouthshire jury trying to fry traitors ; aye , and even in this ease , admitting him first aa an evidence , give me C&pt . Grey as foreman , rather than a farmer or bloodsucker , who lives upon the ByBtem , the perpetuation of which iB now the question for some of them to decide .

      The fearful extent to which our laws have proved " treason to exist in this country , must be matter , of serious consideration for Prince Albert . The pubKc mind is becoming ; very uneasy , iaeonsequeneB of the spread of Chartism in Wales , and the description of persons who have taken * lead j many of them being possessed of great wealth .
