If the House of Commons were what it really ought to . be , a representation of national interests , we should be the last to adrocate for a moment that tbeix privileges should either be submitted to the four Jodges in the ( Jneen ' s Bench , or to the Peeri ; weweuM never allow for a moment that the branch of obi eqpstitution , which might to be democratic , should lay their rights and privileges at the feet of a class e » miially Aristocratic—but in the present fannatjon of onr Legislature—the Commons representing merely a . section—the conflicting parties equally vitiated—we desire to see the contest carried on , knowing that good must come from it to the people at large .
There is no more extraordinary feature in this whole case , than the apathy and total want of concern displayed by the people with regard to the privileges claimed by their representatives . "Who formerly , so energetic in favour of a body , or an individual , that appeared to claim its rights , as the peopleJ When the Commons were fighting against . first , the Judges , and secondly the Lords , in the reign of Chables I ., their endeavours wexe encouraged and supported by the masses is every possible manner .
Whenever any body of men have deserved , in any dispute , the support of the public , they have alwayB wceived it , even before it was solicited . Bat now , where is the popular excitement , the zeal , the encouragement , that o&ce would have been forthcoming \ 13 ie answer isiamjfe 4 the people have deser ted the Commons , because the Commons have deserted the people . Englishmen begin truly to appreciate ihe wise of their Leg ^ lators , and to know that their defence is not worth the undertaking : they feel that there are subjects of much deeper importance—of
Wteh greater moment , which call for all their energies , and demand the whole of their attention . Their minds are occupied -with their own rights and Kberties , which they have demanded in vain from that body whom now they justly refuse to aid and wast . They say to their Legislators— " Your privileges have produced no benefit to us ; but , on the contrary , by rendering you more powerful , have enabled you to inflict the greater wrongs . We care
not now what becomes of you ; we will not stTetch oat a hand to save you from destruction . " And we unite with our countrymen . in their rational determination , and say , as long as the battle is confined to Ihe two rival Houses , in Heaven ' s name , " Cry Havoc , and let slip the dogs of war !" Good must come to the nation out of this class trarfare for pre-eminence , as from a compound of the most deadly poisons a wholesome medicine may be extracted .

We did think that the evidence adduced at the trial of F&osi fsi others in support of a charge for High Treason * ra > strained , and merely to be used as a make-shift for £ he pressing urgency of the case ; but wild and incoherent as were the doctrines laid down and
relied upon by the Solichob-Gkhbiul—copious , Wttensve , and ranging as was the field opened by ike learned Judges ; yet were all confined and limited , when compared to the searching test laid down by Lord Bsotobax .

attempt at retort upon ( yCosxxxx , by proving him -guilty of treason , he has out-Heroded Hxbod . If ke had amply Bald that O'Coskzll was a traitor , Be woild have told the nation that of which it was ¦ ie&re apprised ; but in following O'Cossell through iis political maze , Hab&t forgot that he had participated in the ends , and had far outstripped Paxiel himself in the enforcement of the means by Which the ends were to be accomplished .

It was treason , and treason in support of whieh I -Ihe noble lord , in his high office of keepe&of the king ' s conscience , was a participator . Does an attespt to work a social change constitute the crime « f High Treason ?

And , if so , is he not conaekma that the repeal of the Corn Laws must of « eoeBshy work these great and vital changes .

of ha neighbours , Importing its provisions , it is easy for an external power to cut off the Ripply aad . the unavoidable consequence is famine . Hence , therefore , it has been the policy of all wise and prudent Governments to take care that no matters of present gain or commercial speculation should induce them to relax the means of providing with certainty , so far as human care and foresight can do so , for the production , within their own realm , of all necessary articles of food . of its neighbours . ImDortins its r m ***™* n ;»
Erery event which happens in the history of nations , proves the efficiency and wisdom of this policy . Any eountry which has neglected it is invariably marked , by all other nations , as an easy prey whenever it may be thought convenient to seize upon it . Even those who appear most anxious to place their own country in this dependant situation are quick enough to see its disadvantages in Other states . The infamous dispute of our opium smuggling " shopkeepers" with China affords conclusive evidence on this matter . The Courier , speaking of the destroyed opium , about which the writer seems half inclined to destroy himself , for mere vexation , makes reference to the formidable arrangements for carrying on the warfare ; having described which , he says : —
" It is only by a respectable and imposing display such as may thus be arrayed , that the Chinese can be brought to reason . The inner court of that interminable palace at Pddn , enahriaiag the Majesty of China , is not inaccessible to fear ; and if more active hostility be unadvisable , famine , ending in insurrections of the people , which would be the consequence of the blockade alone of Canton and other chief ports chiefly provisioned from -without by sea , would not fail in extorting that redress of past grievances and that security against future agression , which would place oni commerce with China beyond the-reach of that petty tyranny , ofthose capricious vexations and humilisting conditions , under whieh hitherto it has been cronchinglj carried on .
- So then , it seems the Courier , maugre all its dullness , can perceive that when once a nation gives up its present hold of the main prop of independence , daily food , it may , with slight effort of hostility , be so humbled as to submit gladly to any imposition practised on it under " a resp # ctable and imposing display . " This is the position in which the unconditional repealers of the Corn Iawb would place England . They would take from the farmer his means of obtaining high prices for his corn without any provision for the just and equitable lessening of his burdens , in the shape of rent and taxes .
This would place home-grown corn at such a disadvantage in the market that no English farmers would or could continue to grow corn ; we must then like the Chinese , be provisioned from without , by sea f and this would enable any foreign power , who might be able to muster " a respectable and imposing display , " to dictate to ns in any matter , either of commerce , or of our own internal policy , terms as villanous as those which the Courier proposes to enforce on China , and to threaten us , if we demur , with the blockading of our ports and consequent famines and insurrections .
Thank God , England was never yet in this position , and we sincerely hope she ne ? er may be . But she certainly will be in this position if the people suffer the blood merchants to hitch off the Corn Laws , while the present system of legislation by money-men continues in operation . Let the people see to it , then . The Corn Laws must never be repealed , otherwise than as a consequence of those wise and salutary changes in the whole system of Society , which must follow in the wake of U « - VEBSAL StTFFSAGK .

- — - ^~ 1 ,. ' ^ AAJ ^^ MwVj . rijVjjjjjjjj . v . THE WELSH- PATRIOTS AND THE VALUE OF THE LAW . At this moment , most probably ; while the reader i » reading this very article , the Judges in the Court of Westminster are determining the technicality which most decide whether Frost and his associates shall be sacrificed on the shrine of class legislation and party rule . If the merits of the case depended on the formal point of law to be discussed , h would be * a"Tnatter of some confleiSffl ^ &Mgt-fc WflttaJMri n * W"fr Me ^ kntTbt referenceib tbfl " man » er Mt . wikh , traitox < « h ^ " be tried and dealt with ; bat the question stands on much higher ground . It is a question of the power of right against might . If the " point" should be
determined favourably for the prisoners , though no doabt a general exultation would take place , yet would no feeling of respect be mingled with it either for the law or its administrators . Feost has been convicted of the highest crime which the law recognises ; and it is very dear that the decision of this formal matter , about the list of witnesses , can make no difference in the moral character of his proceedings ; yet if Fboct escape by this point , and thus , criminal as the law and its administrators have declared him , be turned loose again upon society , to commit like crimes , he will be received into the bosom of Mb family , and by his friends ; he will be received by the great mass of the whole people with most joyful acclamation , and bo beloved and esteemed more highly than he ever was .
This is the strongest proof which can be that the law is bad . Law is good and just , then , only when it speaks the mind and will of society , and whenever Bociety denounce a law , that law is bad . These are not our sentiments alone ; they are those of the Reforming Peer , Earl Sf £ . ncbb , who , when "honest Lord ALTHoap , " declared that whenever a law became decidedly unpopular , it should be repealed .
The people hate a madman , a thief , a pickpocket , or . a swindler , because these characters violate good laws ; but they regard with honour vand with rererence the bold good man who sets a bad one at defiance—and hence the secret of the interest which has been shown for Fbost and all the other patriots who have been persecuted . Hence the breathless anxiety and suspense with which the decision of H the point" is looked for . We would not have the
people look too much to the judges . ' We know too much of the Bervility of judges , and of their prejudices , to rest much on them in such a case . Our hope is in the people ; in their energy , in their unison , in their promptness , and in their prudence . Let them approach the Sovereign , not by thousands , or by tens of thousands , but by millions . Let them do so firadyy bat respectfully ; telling her Majesty that they . Bhrink with horror from the contemplation of a RovaiMarriagrgB ' east at which the blood of their hearts' darlings forms the chief dish ; and we have no fea * yet for the result .
It is this which embarrasses our enemies ; they know that if Fbost be a traitor , there are millions who sympathise with him , and who attribute his oahappy position to the misdeeds of bad rulers , and selfish and crafty politicians . It was the illegal imprisonmflot of the advocates of the Charter—the hardships they enduredfor the promulgation of truth , and fei teaching men to believe that every individual was interested in the common wealth , and that it was their duty to maintain their rights , by an union of moral strength—coupled with their exclusion from all participation in the management of the political affairs of the country , that instigated the outbreak in Wales . That was the cause—the phyaieal demonstration was the mere eftet .
And what have those who set themselves np as the rulers of our country done ! Have they sought to remove the cause of the disorder which has broken out in society ? No ; but they are seeking to glut themselves in savage delight with the murder of those whom , by their oppression , they < frove to desperation . Am » Englishmen deficient in those good qualities

Not the least reliance should be placed upon the objection taken by the legal advocate of the condemned . It is the desire of the Whig Government that a sacrifice should be made . It is almost for us to say whether it shall be at our cost . We have the moral power to effect their release : or if we have not , we Bhall have learnt a lesson we ought to have understood long ago ; and we shall also have more fully discovered the materials of which our oppressors are made . ** * ..... . .. , ' ' ...

DISCLOSURE OF THE SPY SYSTEM—THE BLOODY INCENDIARY POLICEMAN , WILLIAM CONWAY , UNMASKED—MOCK TRIAL AND ILLEGAL COMMITMENT OF NEESOM , WILLIAMS , SPURR , AND OTHER LONDON WORKING-MEN . To tne Chartist * of the United Kingdom . My Fsiends , —I never did glory in the name of Chartiat until the professors of Chartism were likely to undergo martyrdom . .. Now , I call you brother Chartists , and shall briefly lay before you , the circumstances connected with the imprisonment of some
of the London Chartists , charged with the intention of firing the metropolis . I arrived from Monmouth on Sunday , and fully expected to have had a few days rest , previously to undertaking any duty which the decision of the Judges , upon the point of law reserved at the Monmouth trials , should impoae . Upon my return , however , I learned that the London men were to appear again at Bow-street , on Tuesday , and I instantly directed Mr . Hkhbbirgtow 46 secure Messrs . Philips and CtABiisoN for the defence , as I am resolved to fight every inch of ground . Those gentlemen could not be had . and
Mr . Prbndergast , averyablebarrister , wasengaged . I attended the Court for more than six hours , and shall proceed to lay before you the facts as they must have struck every impartial- person present . Upon Tuesday , the 14 th of January , there was a public meeting at the Trades' Hall , Bethnal-Green ; the object to take the distressed condition of the working-classes into consideration . Neesom was in the chair . That meeting was adjourned to Thursday , the 16 th . with a recommendation to those assembled to bring each one or two of their friends upon Thursday . The whole case was sustained by policemen ; and now I pray you , pay
attention to the charge . A foreigner , who w not produced , is sworn to have told the meeting " that if they would have their rights they must purchase them , not with thirty pieces of silver , but with blood , as other nations have done . " Neesom is said to have followed the foreigner in a few remarks approving those sentiments . These words are sworn to by five or six policemen , who were at the back of the building outside ; there was a door with planks placed againBt it , and the platform erected over it , whioh would have rendered it utterly impossible for persons outside to have heard the loudest expression used upon the platform ; but that is not all . After the
case had been nearly gone through , it was necessary to repel a charge of violence against the police , and for that purpose , the proceedings were stopped for twenty minuUs for the purpose of cramming a witness of the name of James Ttlbr ; and attend to his evidence , pray . He was m tue boom , some distance from the door , when he heard the foreigner make use of the word blood , but the cheering and clapping was so great , that it tout impossible for any one to hear the previous or subsequent observations of the speaker . Thus , then , fire or six policemen heard words outside of the building with the
speakers back to them , when it was impossible for a person in the building , and opposite to the speaker , to hear the same words . The parrot-like flippancy with which the blae bottles heard through the stone wall « iany thingB which tiose inside could not hear , was matter of disgust tq every person in Court , save those who daily witotes equal jjg > we » tgen the patf of th » pelw * ja ( the wita «* e * mt ^ comjxAUd to acknowled ge thai there never was a more peaceable and orderl y ^ meeting- until the Inspector , followed by seventy of bis devils , illegally entered tlwviuilding wifh a drawn sword , and
stopped all egress from the room . And now for the disclosure . A villain of the name of Michakx Cohwat was in the room from the very commencement . The Inspector ( Mr . Pkaecb ) was reluctantly compelled to admit that , for the last twelve months ' he had engaged Conwat to attend meetings held in the Trades' Hall in coloured clothes . Cohway attended the two meetings by the Inspector ' s orders , not in his police dress , but in coloured clothes . A foreigner , whose words were , no doubt , originally concocted , if spoken at all , is allowed to speak , and then to retire ; for he was not apprehended—his
words being sworn to by the police outside . The spy then goes out , the police come in ; many pistols , all looking very like old horse-police pistols , are found under the forms , and a few of a different sort upon the persons of two or three of the prisoners , who da not deny the possession of them , but say that they have them for their protection , and will not deliver them up . Wh « n the rush of the police took place , Nkesom , the Chairman , says , "Stand firm ; be quiet , and let the police authorities show me their power for thus disturbing our legal meetin g ^ nd I will at once dissolve the meeting , and hold
myself responsible ! " But , no ! that would not do ; the Conway deposits must be found under the forms . The readers may naturally say , " 0 , we all know that policemen attend meetings in coloured clothes , and the act of Conway was only of a piece ! " Very true ! but listen to this . Michael Conway has been a member of the Association at Bethnal Green for many months ; he was not known at a polioemaq ; he subscribed large sums of moaey fofr the purposes of the Association ; and he opfjebsd W ^ LiAifc , onb OF THE PRISOKEKS , TWO SOVXRKIGftS TO COMMIT AN act of incendiarism . He was in the r *> m the
whole time ; he is not called ; he alone cjuld hate given evidence of the existence of any plbfc to fire the metropolis , or make commotion therein , because he had attended all the meetings , because it ap pears he was aware of the arms bong at the meeting , and he ( Conway ) k ^ ew whom fiffthose present to searcn foi arms . A man , bearing the exact description which I have received of him , called upon me in November last , well muffled op , representing himself as a member of the East London Democratic Association , and said he would undertake , for a sum of money , to tamper with all the polioe in the district . I referred him to the Home Office for
instructions , and have no doubt he had , previously to his mission , received his orders there ; however , ha went as he came . I think , from what has occurred in this ease—from what has occurred at jSheffleld , in the instance of Thompson and other informers , what has occurred at Newport , and what has previously occurred in the palmy days of Sidmocth , Cabtlebeagh , Olivsb , Castles , and , more recently , in the days of the celebrated Popay , I have Been justified in my many denunciations of Becret meetings , the administration of oaths , and any attempt to carry a project which the whole nation wm not cognizant of , and party to . I believe that my admonitions hare savdd many good men from th «
machinations of dark and plotting villains . In all proceedings in courts of justice it is held to be material that the witnesses upon the same sideshould agree , but great sue has been taken by the Mpwter of the Times , to coneealthe monstrous diwarapftftciflB in the evidence relied upon in the Bow-steeet-easa Some swore that only one cutlass waa-dnQHr , while others swore that four or five were jirflewn ; the fact being that the conspirators ^ stored the haB , sword in hand , and preveB * ii- ^ e peoplfc from , goto * out .

would not , poor as he was and out of work , si * "& in his clothes for ten times his pay . He said th attne police despised themselves ; and cautioned tne sitting magistrate how he dug a hole into whit nae might falL Ha explainod that if he ( Spurr ) waa committed , any policeman might lay a similar t ^ P for the magistrate , aa any Bpy might make \ * largest meeting illegal . He Baid that , as a father oi a family , he had a right to see his labour protecte ^ for his children ; and , as to the expression of blooc '
which had been so much relied upon , he would shed his blood , for-the attainment of his just rights . ( Cheers . ) [( Jour >— "Keep silence , or dear the Court / ' ] Hot had attended the great meeting at Eitete * Haii / afcd had" Veea allowed to move an amendment ; but he never in his life attended so peaceable , so orderly } and so well-conducted a meeting as that for which he then stood a criminal at the bar—a meeting which would have dispersed peaceably had not the police rushed in with drawn swords . . .
The flippancy of the police , and their " non mi ricordo" upon all points which did not suit their looks was matter of disgust to him . ( Shame . ) He was sent from dungeon to dungeon—from paved passage to paved passage—till at length he was lodged in Cold Bath Fields prison , with his associates . They were sent there , because the rules did not admit an interview with any person but the legal advisers of the parties . However , he thanked the Governor , who . had made their durance as little unknown as possible . If he was discharged , he would attend meeting after meeting till he obtained
his just rights as an Englishman , a father , and a labourer willing to work . ( Very loud cheering . ) [ "Clear the passage there . " ] He was not for class legislation ; the whole of the human family were his brethren ; their rights were bound up in their Charter , and that they were resolved to have . ( Cheers . ) The Learned Counsel had anticipated much which he had intended to say , and , therefore , he would conclude by demanding his discharge , having already suffered punishment illegally , insisting strongly that this inspector and the police should be at the bar ,
and the accused their prosecutors . ( Cheers . ) This noble and manly speech , produced a visible effect upon every person in the court , with the exception of the automaton who presided , to whose decision I pray your attention . Four Englishmen were discharged , having been endungeonedmorethan a week , withoat an apology or satisfaction farther than being compelled to enter into their own recognizance to answer any charge Whioh any perjurer may think proper to bring against them . Neesom , a journeyman tailor out Ofwork , withW a shilling , was told , not as the Tories have it , to find bail in the amount
of £ 250 ; no , but £ l / M 0 ~ himtelf in £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 eadfe t * wx * ams , a baker , a poor working man , in bail of £ zS 0 ; and Spurs , a young man , a carpenter , « nt of % rk , in the same amount .

" Although the examination lasted tilt long after night-fall , yet , did an immense concourse of persons remain patiently outside to hear the result ; and when I made my appearance , the whole followed ,, cheering down Covent-Garden and King-atreet ^ iad the scene was ludicrous enough . Persons coming towards us , upon hearing the cheers and Beeing the people , turned short and scampered off , as if the conflict had really commenced ; and at one period I thought the u electric shock" had
come . All these trials must do good . The voice of Freedom is now upon every passing breeze . Who shall stop the whirlwind , or dare to impede its progress 1 I am , Faithfully yours , FEARGUS O'CONNOR .
