T&H Cons uw Hpmbuc a « aht . —Mr . Sdney Smith delivered a lecture in the Carpenters' Hall , on Monday evening last , on the necessity of repealing the Corn Laws , in tbe course of which he made use of the greatest falsehood and sophistry , of which the following are specimens : —That tbe landlords are the law-makers—that there were very few women or children working in the factories m 1835—that where bread is cheap the people are comfortable—that Whig , Tory , and Radical , in the House of Commons , united to kick out the Corn Bill ; with many other assertions equally false : and that he challenged any and every party to prove that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not be beneficial to the working classes . At tbe moment he
gave the challenge , Mr . Campbell stepped to the front of the platform , and offered to discuss the question . There had b « en a note handed to Mr . Smith , asking him if he would allow discussion at the dose of his lecture , but he took no notice of the note . The Chartists , perceiving thig , demanded he should read the cote ; he then read it , and immediately recanted his former expression , by saying he came there to deliver a lecture , aad he would not be interfered with . At this part of the proceedings the uproar became astounding , amidst cries of—* Where is Frost , Williams , and JoneB V M Where is O ' Connor 1 " "Go on , Campbell ! " After about twenty minutes of eoufusion , Mr . Connor came forward with a written challenge , of which the following iB a oopy : —

As the close of his lecture , Mr . Connor asked him if he would meet Mr . Leech . He said he had not time just then , thus sneaking off ; bat it shall not be the fault of the Manchester Cbarusts if they do no not drag him into discussion oetbrathe publifty when he may depend upon it Leech shall give > feinv * uca a castration as he never has haA yet . un -tbe -whole , it wad ono of tbe most mean , ak » l > by , * nd pitiful attempt of the Corn Law humbugs we ever witnessed , to impose on the good sense of the people of Manchester . — Corresponde d .

NEWCASTUJ ASSIZES . TRIALS FOR SEDITION . John Mason ( with whom was indicted James Ayre but who did not appear ) was charged with having on the 20 th of January , together with divers others , unlawfully assembled , and by seditious , violent , and inflammatory speeches , endeavoured to excite and persuade tbe others to hatred and contempt of our sovereign lady the Queen and her Government . { Mr . Wighthan said this was an indictment , charging the defendant and James Ayre , and various others , with seditonsly assembling . Mr . Dundas , Q . C ., stated that the defendant was charged with conspiring with * number of other per ' sonB for certain purposes , and it would be for them
( the Jury ) to see that the officers for the prosecution brought home the offence to the defendant . . The Jury would remember that an unhappy person of the same of Frost , and some others , had been found guilty of high ! treason , and a nmnber of persons called a meeting here to take measures for preventing their sentence from being carried into execution . They were quite right in meeting to petition the Queen upon the subject , for that was legal ; but when their meeting wag attended by the oircuniBtaneet . which threatened the public tranquillity , it became impossible that their proceedings could be * anv Joager overlooked . The Learned Gentleman then described the meeting , and repeated some of the words made use of ( which will be found in their
proper place below ) . The Jury would take all these things into their consideration , aud see whether or not , in their opinion , such a line of conduct was compatible with thp public tranquillity . The Learned Counsel then called Mr . William Patton Henderson , who said he wa » a reporter for the Tyne Mercury , and attended a public meeting on the 20 th of January , 1840 , at tho Lecture Room , in Nelson-street . He went about half-past seven , and a great number of persons was there . Ayre was there from tbe first ; he also saw Mason there . Ayre proposed Mr . Charlton to the chair , and Charlton Baid the object of the meeting was to serve their friend * in Wales . Speeches wore then made . Ayre spoke first and then Mason : witla
^_ ^ „ ^ A > » _ ^ m . ^ a — if — . ~ fa ^ k « W ness took notes of some parts of the speeches There was a supplement printed to the paper from his notes . As to Ayre ' u speech , he begau by observing what the meeting was . called for , and then he Baid , " I will tell you candidl y , that rather than se&iroBt sacnBced by so base , bloody , and deteetableaset , I would Bee one unireraal blase from one ena of the country to the other . " Cheers fol-V > ^ tJ »|» n < l A -X * e went on . w Chwrs will not doj I care *« for your applause ; I waft none of your cheers ; Twant more of your Individual and collective exertions to save the life of Frost . The Ghartists had been called blood-hounds , but I will defy the Government to eay that they ever endeavoured to take the life of a single individual . " He then
alluded to the sentence , and said , " rather than see Frost suffer , , 1 would see Lord Melbourne and Prince Albert buth — . " The word was lost in cheers and the reporter was unable to state the exact word , but he thought it was " hanged . " The cheering here was tremendous . Ayre then proposed a resolution for tho restoring of Frost and tho others , and said— " If tke Queen does not extend mercy to Frost , I doubt that much blood -will' be spilled , and I d oubt that the bridal day will be a day of mourning and of sorrow to ' tho country . " He then . Baid " Four weeks will not elapse until I shall be on my trial before a jury composed of the middle classes and by the living God , I will tell them what 1 think He also 6 aAu—>' Youhave only to sign your nawee . wii mat
ana me ^ ueen either irost shall be free or the Wedding ehall not take place . ( Great cheering . ) Let every man aot up to the resolution , and if a meeting is called , attend and do his duty-and if a meeliug were not called , let us meet on some spot , and come to the determination that they shall not sacrifice Frost without sacrificing a great portion of the empire . " The room iu which the meeting was held will seat 1 , 000 people , and there will bo standing room for some hundred * more . It w * a completely lull on that occasion . The orators addressed the meeting from a platform . When A yre finished Mason spoke next . Took notes of what Mason said Mason commenced by observing , that the object of the meeting was to request the Mayor to call a
meeting to petition for a free pardon to the Welsh patriots ; and observed that the death of Frost would be 4 goldenkey to the death of every patriot in the Kingdom . Laa uovemuiaut would try to keep them down by the military and tho police ; but if thev had twenty million times tue number they had j what could they do against the people \ \^ cv » ot ;• fight . *') To thisha would reply that there Jew better chancea for them without fighting There would never be another rebellion ; no , nor auother revolution . Their properly wswindauger . All the property of the kingdom Was in the hands of ihose who never soiled a linger iu its ereotion ; and you are famishing in a country the richest in the world These meo tell you that you are a parcel of

Donbleday . Sir John Wfe . Mt . Larkin , Mr . Blakey and several othera that he cannot now name . He cannot recollect the partienbr language that they made use of . Tbe meeting alluded to was held five or six weeks before Maeoa ' a laet trial . Has only seen hint fonee since . Mason did Bay that they Should not compel Uim-tojg&t . * He ( Mason ) might address the meeting for eight minntes . He ( the reporter ) did state that it was too bad to take advantage of reporters , and make them witnesses ia such cases because he thought it was likely to cause an ill-feeling between partie * who should never come m contact , and he was glad that Mr . Mason had put the question to him now , that he might have an opportunity of repeating that statement .
Ke-exammed . —There was a great deal of exoitementabont the Chartists last snmtaer and autumn , and there was a good deal of alarm in the town respecting them , which continued until the time of the meeting now allsded to . He ( the reporter ) attendshere decidedl y aa affunwining witness . Mr . Wightmah eaid there was another reporter ready to giv < r similar evidence , but they had no desire to caUhun They would put him into the box , however , if Mr . Mason wished to ask him anytning . • • ¦ Mr . Mason aaid he was not aware that h « could do any good by wr * minin him . That being the case f « . p the Crown , Mrl Mason then rose toaddresa the Jury in his deteiiee , wkich he did at great length and with much
loroe ana fluency . We subjoin an epitome of hie speech . He began by observing that he believed that they were well aware that , in this country , a great change had taken place ia British society during the last twenty years , and from circumstances which ultimately create a greater change . If the people now used language calculated to bring the authorities into contempt ,, what was to be said of those who , long before this period , used language much more severe than any he had used . They were told that bow , these rout * , riots , &c . were owing to the conduct of the Chartists . But let them look at the state of-the country in 1831 and 1832 ; let them look at thVcondition of Bristol and other parts of the country , and that state , too . broucht about
by the agitation of those gentlemen who were desirous « f carrying the Reform Bill , some ot whom arc now promoted to the enjoyment of the highest honours Of the Btate . The present Attorney-General had said , in one of his speeches , « What was there to prevent the people from going to the House of Commons , taking the Hon . Members by the ears , hrowing them into the Thames , and closiBg their -. oors ! ' If Buch language was made use of by a Whig Attorney-General , would it not be wrong to convict him ( Mr . Mason ) of having used language much less severe . If the Attorney-General said that , the least that he ( Mr . Mason ) could have said would be , ** What is to prevent the people from going to the - House of Commons , and taking the
Hon . MemberB , not only by the ears , but by the legs too , and throw them into the Thames , and close their doors . " ( Laughter , and cries of * Silence " trom the officials . ) They would be well aware that there was many a thing accounted high treason when it waa unsuccessful , which was applauded to the echo when it web crowned with success ; lot them look at Magna Charta aa an instance . Mr . Mason then entered into an elaborate history of Magna Charta , and Baid they were all aware that the BaroHs would have been found guilty of hi gh treason if they had not proved themselves : successful in eetablishing the right of the people to rebel . In proof of this , he read the 37 th article of Magus Charta , in which the King makes it lawful for tbem
to take him to task for any * infringement ' or neglect of their rights , sparing , however , tho royal person . In tracing history they found , after a ' gr ~ eat lapse of time , down to JameB I [ ., ibat ' rebellionB hadbeen reputed as the greatest affairs in our history ; and from that time , boou down to the period of the reform agitation . And if they found , that those who agitated tho most at that period bad been raised to the highest honours of the state , they would see that a political crime was net a moral one . He thought ho had a right to complain of the present indictment , which charged . him with bringing the Government into opntempt ; bUt supposing they found the preeent Government receiving Russian gold for the augmentation of Russian ambition , and
which would ultimately bring Britain under the domination of Russia , what would they think of that , compared with what was alleged Against him ! He oontended that there was nothing wrong , nothing hurtful at the meeting which he attended ; it was quite clear that the language he then used he had a ri ^ ht to use ; it was the laugnage of remonstrance , aud such luitgua- « e atj he was fully justified in . using when labouring for tho attainment of their rights and liber ties , and more ospecially bo when they were not meeting iu secret , when , instead of that , they met publicly and openly , and showed the authorities that they had no feeling but that which was for the good of their eountry . He had been accused of U 8 i » g iinproiM * language , but what waa anTthine
tiuit tie had said compared with what was aaid in an article of ^ hat very paper whose reporter had appeaied as a whneas against him . In that article the House of Lords was denominated as ** blockheads . " ( A laugh . ) Mr . Mason then charged Lord Normanby with truckling to Mr " O'Connell , who , U was well known , had used worse Words than any the Chartists bad ever used . And if they found that the Ministry was sanctioning the men who were continually spouting sedition , what could they say of such aa him 1 When they wau sickening at the distress which they saw around them , they had a right to uso strong language . Mr . Mason then advci ted to tke objects which the Chartists had ia view . Tho nly objects they ever contended' for was to have a
share iu the franchise , to participate iu that representative government which the middle claiSf s had bo severe a struggle to obtain . Mr . Mason then read the whole of the People ' s Charter , and he did so , he Baid . because he believed that ihe middle classes Were tfiiacquaiutcd with , its contents , and consequently did not understand the objects which tbo Cftarti * t 8 had in view . Ho believed it ueyer before had been read in a public caart , although so many who had advocated its principles were now lying in gloomy dungeons as the victims of their honest opinions . Because these noble men might have gone a step beyond the line of prudence , that was no muwn why they should be thrown into dunguohg all over Eueland , and subjected to worse
treatment than that experienced by felons and burglar * . Let them look at the " treatment ' " of . Mr . U Connor , wliich , even in the House of CommonB A » d created' such general disgust , that the treatment was tremendously altered . Mr . M . then went into a long and animated history of the duties of a Goverameut with regard to the iutroduotionof machinery , preventing its undue pressure on'the working men , aud cultivating the moral feelittgB and the minds of men . But what , on the other harid , was tlie real state of things presented to their'View ! There Were children without moat , and whole tWilies without clothing : ; Wlien we fouud suchWstaiCe of , thipga in ' a country like thiai did it hot show Us tbatthere was a total deraDgemon ; of all the elemefatsof Wciety .
The operatives had discovered that society must be based oil an entirely new pla . u ' , and it was not by the putting of a « ed : tionist into a dungeon here ana there that thoy would put . a stop to thU ' opinion , ^ ith regard'to his own in ^ media ' te ' . CAse , wh : cb ' wia the subject befdra tiife jury , he ctinteride ' d that if they Bhould find him guilty they - woultf etrike a'bibw at the wtole fouudatiou of Jre ( dfoin of , speech . If such laaguago as he had referred tp was used fr ^ iueutly during the reform period of agitation ; if , then , we were told of Deads rdlling upon BcaffoldB , now could they come to the decision that language much more humble and much more tame Was guilty ! It was not sedition to expose the vices of ' . a government s but it was sedition to supoort those vines . It was the duty of every man to join in bringing on those great
changes which aro to eradicate the . abuses by which we were ' euftrouihacd .

Bix , ten , and evea twenty yeari With these things bifoTe then , could they say that the legislature of the country proviaed for the industrious working' Classes , or threw her protecting arms about theta , « s a ' mother would aboat her children . In concrasibn , Mr . Mason aid he entertained n , qthiBg bpt ^ h ^^ beet feelisgs towards all classes ; all that he demanded waa equal laws , and an eqrnalbahare in ttitf repMBentation for the claia 1 . to which he belonged" ' ¦ ' .

TO THE EDITOB OF IHB KOETHKWT STAR . Sib , —From every district of the county of Durham I learn that the plan of the National Charter Association is approved , and although for a while I and my friend Mr . Binns will not hate the meana of labouring personally to promote its success , yet I feel eertalu , from the information I have received , that the OharVsts of the county of Durham win now prove that the poniab > meat and proscription ot their leaden is the most effective way to advance the principles with which they identified themselves . The Editor of the Sunder ( and Herald , with that imbecility and malignity which has characterised him , had the impudence to intimate , In a placard which he published last week , that because we Were imprisoned , Chartism had " gene to bed . " Let him wait V week , he will find Chartism is awakening , and will never slumber until consummated la victory . He will also find that we , though im > prisoned , are neither sleeping nor silent The men of Durham will give him an echo . Tours traly , J . Williams .
