The concussion was so violent , that the carriage was broken into fragments , and pressed together " like a sheet « f paper . " A person on the line who witnessed the approaching concussion , called oat , and immediaiely the engine-driver of the waiting train and 4 he feeder , observing the imminent danger to which tkey were subject , jumped off the tender , aud
happuy esccpea nnnun . Unfortunately this was not the case with the passengers in the first class carriage . One unfortnuate individual had his face completely taken off by a portion of the broken carriage , and immediately expired . An aged lidy had her hand eut off , and was bo much mntOated , that death almost instantaneously followed the injury . Another female wa 3 ¦ everely maimed , and fears were entertained that one of her legs was broken . Others were seriously injured , bat the nature and extent of their injuries we hare not yet been able to ascertain . One of the passengers in a third dags earritge ( a female belonging to Sherburn ) , observing the daajeras the coal train approached , leaped out of the

Following bo close upon Other accidents attended with equally fatal eonseguenees , this dreadful calamity will naturally « eite the most intense interest throughout the country , and loudly calls * pon the GoTernment and the Legislatare to interfere and make some proyision foxttke safety of the lives of the public We shall give the particulars of the iuquest in our Third Edition .

a apectacle of the most imposing and enolime description , vrell calculated to inspire feelings of reverential awe—to recal the wanileriag thoughts from ths consideration cf earthly things to the contemplation of visions of ceiestial bliss . Callous , indeed , rnnst hive bten the heart that could resist the loly inflaences of such a moment At the conclusion cf mass , the Rev .

HAUPAJt Brothee Jokathak asd the Wkepikg Willow oteb Napoleon ' s Tomb . —One of the exotics from the land of freedom and promised bliss across the Atlantic Ocean , being the travelling member of a free state , pnt oat bills daring last week , announcing to the ladies and gentlemen' of Halifax his intention of giving a grand display of fireworks in the Market-place , on the evening of the 5 th of November . The weather proving unfavourable , a postponement took place , and the night following the bellman was sent round to notiee the inhabitants that they would take plaee that evening . The loyal inhabitants were again doomed to witness another disappointment , for who can tell what an hour may briug forth ! The boy attending on the pyrotechnic manufacturer , had entered the room in which the combustible materials were in readiness , with a
lighted candle ; and , whether a spark from the candle fell and ignited the works , or from some other cause , did not appear ; boi certain it is that wheels , rockets , &c . &c . were set in motion with the author in the midst of them . Whether the much-admired weepiDg willow over the tomb of Napoleon on St . Helena ( which was to be represented ) got oa fire , deponentsayeth not ; or that the author became invisible by descending into the tomb is equally a secret ; the only marvellous inautrers after the event being the unpaid band joiners , and the landlord of the Mitre Tavern ' whose joint misfortunes in the affair would leave them to administer the best consolation to each other that the circumstance would admit of . A resurrection was earnestly anticipated , but nothine eam « forth . *
Gebat SATURDAT .-The usual Cattle Fair , held on the first baturday in November in this town , took place last Saturday , when a tolerable show of horses , cows , pigg , &c . were to be seen ; but the day , on the whole , was very unfavourable on account of the -wet , which made it in other respects uncomfortable for visitors . Cow-stealing . —T wo men were observed entering a field at Pellon , near this town , on Monday last , about five o ' clock , and stole therefrom » cow belonging to Mr . Rttskworth , which was put out to feed . The parties were unknown .
The Honourable Order op the Peaceful Dove . —Ou November the 5 th , the Harmony Lodge , No . 31 in the Halifax District , celebrated their anniversary day at the house of Mrs . Brooks , the Bee-hive Inn , King Cross-lane , Halifax , when thirtyfour of the . members sat down to a most excellent dinner , served up in a style which did great credit to the worthy hostess of the house / and gaTe great satisfaction to the party present .
KEXGHX * E 7 . Radical Estertainhbnt . —Monday and Tuesday last , being two of the Keighley fair days , the Radicals of this town determined to avail themselves of the opportunity of benefitting the cause , and keeping as many of the young people as possible from the usual drunkenness common on such occasions by providing more rational amusements . A tea feast was accordingly provided in the Working Man ' s Hall , on Moudav evening , to which all were to be admitted by paying sixpence each , when about one hundred and ally of the friends to the cause had the pleasure of taking tea together . After the repaei , and a few short speeches on temperance and other topics , it was agreed upon to allow a-. x ^ ki nd
of harmless mirth and recreation , during the remainder of the evening , which might bo approved of by the majority . The general wish being for dancing , sinking , and reciting , the bottom of the Hall was cleared , and very Eoon again covered with group 3 of the industrious classes , eDjoying themselves in their own Hall , by trippiug it on the ¦ i ^ ht fantaiuc toe" to the sound of merry music . This diversion , alternately intermixed with songs , toasts , ! ind recitations , was kept up to a late hour , to the enjoyment of all present , and fully proved the superiority of temperance over intoxication , evea iu matters of amusement . The Hall was again opened on the following evening for the same kind of entertainment , when it wasstiil more numerously attended . The managers had provided coffee , lemonade , and
other beverages from atemperanee hotel , which were sold to the company at a reasonable rate ; the profits derived from wh . ch , together with those of the tea feast were to go towards the support of the institution . One thing worthy of remark is , that , although there were one hundred and fifty cups and saucers , with all the paraphernalia of a well managed tea drinking , together with sixty small pots to serve out the coffee , peppermint , Ac , there was not one of the number either broken , damaged , or missing , nor an unbecoming word or action ; -while , on the oibtr hand , three individuals were lodged in the lock-up at the close of the fair , through indulging too freely in public-house entertainment . The profits , amouuiing to about £ 4 , were applied towards defraying the expence of a large new pan , which ha 3 lately been bought by the association for cooking and other
purposes . ^ Harrises , the BbadfobdSpt . again . —At a Petty Session ? , heid on Wednesday last , James Riley was fined five sLillings and costs for allowing himself to be duped bjr Harrison , the Bradford spy , by selling him a pint of ale on the premises . - The wretch , Harrison , had got lodgings for a night in the house and being a stranger to them , had persuaded -them to let him have a pint of ale . The well known and detestable character of "Harrison excited a good deal of interest ; ar . d the crowd collected below the doors of ihe Court-houw to girs him a suitable recsption , as eoon as he should make hie aDoearacee . he
They wore , however , disappointed ^ as durst not venture out ; but another of his tools , named Sharp , bad the impudence to venture , and was treated according to bis merits .- As soon ad he got io the bottom of the steps , the erowd collected ronnd him , and oommeuced groaning and shouting j from this they got to knocking and pushing him about , till , becoming alarmed , he took to his heels , and the crowd after him , groaning and shouting all the way . He was pursued in thi 3 manner up and down the town , and received in his flight some sharp reprimands of a bodily nature for his low conduct . He escaped the just indignation of the crowd at last by taking refuge in the yard of Dr . Mitchell .
Ksoa akd Spell . —On Monday last , a game at knor and spell was played at Holme Bridge , near Sulton , between Joseph Ellison , of that place , and Richard Dale , of Cross Hills , for a sovereign a-eide . Ellison struck 231 score at thirty rises , and Dale 203 : EllUon beating his oppnent by twenty-eight score . Another match is to come off on the 7 th of December , between James Brown , of Farnhill , and William Green , of Cross Hills , tor two pounds a-dde .
BABHSZ ^ ET ? . Tektotalism . —On Sunday evening last , the Cathc- lie School Room was crowded to excess . The Tee- j total World of Dublin was read , and several apprc- ] priate remarks made . The Star was next introduced , aud the Hull Temperance Meeting read taercfrom , which elicited great applause . TUr . James Sjke 3 , of the Temperance Hotel , told the peop !« , th 2 . t sa they were chiefly Irishmen , they bhouid ad-; vise Mrs . Hoey to give up beer-keeping , aud open a ' provision shop , and give her ali the support they i possibly could . He said , though it was a ^ tiusfc his i ovrn business , yet he thought ii an act of duty they 1 owed the man who is iu prison . They ( the ' lrjsh-| men ) said that Crabtrec ' s wife was iH iho same lino , of business , and that she should also get a share cf ; public support , but that they could not interfere with j iirs . Hoej ' s business .
i Ciueteb Association . —On Monday evening , a , h . rge meeting of the Charter Association washela at : . Sir . Peter Hoey ' s , and some now members were enrolled . The Charter in Barnsley is progressing ; last , and pas : experience has taught the Chartists a lesron to avoid the political harpie 3 of the Whig ¦ Goverament . : B 3 P £ a-l of the IJxion . —Mr . Spence delivered a kcture on this subject in the Odd Fellows' Hali , ' . which , for clearness of argument , perspicuity ol i language , and eloquence , we seldom ever heard I equalled . He detailed the way-worn ialo of Irej land ' s misery for seven centxries of mis ^ ovcrnment j and misrule , and dearly pointed out that England
hid no right of eonquest over her . He quoted several historical author ( Englishmen and Protestants ) to prove his assertions ; and concluded by iuvoking all Repealers to become Cuartist 3 , and all Chartists to become Repealers , aud thereby break down the monopoly of a despotic and cruel Government . The lecturer was loucly cheered throughout his lecture , and at the conclusion there were three cheers , clapping of hands , and other demonstrations of joy for the lecturer . Mr . Collins , the Caairman , then called upon Mr . John Smith to come upon the platform , and sing " John Frost . " This he cheerfully did , to the tune of " '" God save the Q > ieen , " and was * horussed by tiie whole cf the meeting , consisting of from four to fiw hundred individuals .
Railwat Station . —Ths inconvenien e to which the poor are subjected by the want of proper regulations , is inconceivable . The statiun-house is three miles from BaniEley , and tkera is not a single place in the town to direct a parson as to the time of departure of the up and downsrains from the stationhouse ; and if you inquire at auy of the inns in town , you are met by a surly yea or nay . The ease " is equally as bad when you arrive at the station-house . There zre no rnle 3 to direct a maa , if he is waiting how to proceed , and if he strays outside the preeincts of the office or its immediate yard , he runs ti « risk sf having tae polluted hands of a ruffian police laid npon him . We hope this evil will be remedied .
STKATFOmv-UPON-AVON " . The pariah church was re-opened on Wednesday the 26 ; ii ult . A sermon was preached bj Dr . Rice , headmaster of Christ ' s Hospital , andanamber of anthems , &e ., were sung .

The .-saiaof £ 264 was then collected , and £ 19 sax the fo&owing ¦ Sunday . Toe expences incurred in finlaiXBig i&e church amount to £ 6 . WO .

MANCHE 8 TBB . TEA PARTY AND FESTIVAL . On Sunday evening , according to announcement by placard , the Chartiats of this town held a tea party in Brown-street , East Manchester , to celebrate the birth-day of that nobk and never-to-beforgotten champion of the people , Henry Hoot , Esq . The members of the committee wore actively engaged all day on Monday in preparing for the occasion , and making those arrangements which were deemed necessary , in order So giro comfort and happiness to the mends who . were about to assemble in the « Tening . Tea wm to b « on the table at ei /; ht o ' clock precisely . About seren o ' clock we entered the room ; and , in justice to the committee of
management , and at the same time not forgetting the ladiea , who took a xery prominent part , vre are constrained to say that everything w& 9 laid in a splendid style , and in order , which reflected great credit apon the persons bo engaged . Everything was ready at the timo appointed ; and to say the least about it , was altogether better than our most sanguine expectations . The walls were completely covered with portraits of the most illustrious patriots of the past and present time ; besides fla ^ s , banners , and emblems of liberty of various descriptions . The first picture which caught our eye was a full-length oil painting and striking likeness of that indefatigable , persevering
disinterested , and unflinching gem of the starving millions , Fcargus O'Connor , Esq . By his side was the representation ef a monutnent , on which was written the following motto ,- * " Success to Henry Hunt , Esq . " On our left wag an oil painting representing one of the yeomanry , with a woman under his feet , who had fallen by his Bword on the bloody plains of Peterloo . ThiB had its effect on all who gazed npon it , and excited the execrations of all who looked upon it . Close by it was the painting , giving a full view , as far as it was in the power of the hmner , ' of the eruel and bloody scenes of Peterloo . On the other side of O'Connor was a portrait of Henry Hunt , Esq ., in a gold frame , round which the
hung portraits of many distinguished characters , via . Arthur O'Connor , ILOastler , Cobbet t , O'Brien , &c . &c . On the opposite side was two beautiful silk flagF , and onewas " Liberty and Equality of Rights , " and on the ether Repeal the Now Poor Law f close by thft ride , hung an oil painting of Thomas Paine ; and further on was a painting of a little girl , represented , to be sitting under her own vine . Over the rostrum was placed two large silk flags . A full length portrait of that bold and undaunted advocate , M'Douall , presented by , tha females of Manchester , on which was written , at their request , * M'DoualLw our Friend . " Round the rostrum was tha rose , Buamrock . " and thistle . In front of the speakers was the 8 m all victory naff .
which was exhibited at the- Town Hall , and which struck such a terror to the Whigs on . that occasion At the , back of , or rather over the speakers'heads , hung a portrait of that much lamented and kindhearted man , John Frost , Esq . In beautiful rosewood frames , besides the likenesses of Froet , Williams , and Jones , were the following : —O'Connor , John Collins , Enunett , O'Brien , and a number of others . Shortly after eight o ' clock , the room was lighted up very brilliantly by two chandeliers , which added greatly to the sceno ; and before half-past , it -was completely filled with ( if we were inclined to boast of our , female Chartists ) an assembly of as handsome , good tempered , and well-behaved , modest and prudent lasses as any in England , who paid every attention to the joyous feast , and on everv occasion
rendered , with apparent delight , every assistance possible . Due notice beiug given , the work of destruction commeuaed ; and ample -justice was done to the currant cake and gunpowder . Tea being over , away went the tables and crockery to gire more room . ¦ . Mr . Whittaker -tfas called to the chair ; the Rev . Sir . Sohofield being otherwise engaged . The Chairman having addressed the company in an admirable speech , proposed " The memory of the immortal Henry H unt , " which was responded to by Mr . Edward Craven , a staunch Radical , in a highly effeotire manner . - ,: . .:, A gentleman then sang the following beautiful and affecting song , called * ' A Voice from Bevcrley , " which has beea addressed by Mr . Robert Peddie to his wife . It cannot fail to be popular with our readers : — . . ...,..-..

The Chairman next pave " FearguB O'Connor , and all the iucarcerated for advocating the rights of the people , " which was responded to by Air . Leech in a most ablo speech . The Chairman then gave the health of a dungeonproof friend now present , " Mr . George tlenry Smiih . " Mr . Smith rose , and was greeted with three times three cheers . The following note was then read , which called forth the plawdits of the audience : —

The fi nishing toast was— " The health and prosperity of the Editor , Publisher , and Reporters of the Northern Slar . '' '
Mr . Griffin rose , and responded by saying , that the best way to show their respect to those gentlemen was to purchase tho Star , read it , and act according to its injunctions . ( Cheers . ) A vote of thanks was then tendered to Messrs . Whittaker and Linney ( Chairman and Vice-Chairman ) , and likewiso to Mr . Maade , dancing master .

JJOCHDAXJ 3 . The foixoytiko occurrence , although it savours of romance , may bo relied upon aa a fact : —A man , residing not far from Rochdale , lately lost his wife who left him with four small children , and in indigent circumstances . The individual being at his wits-end how to contrive to inter his late partner with decency , in his studious moments , bethought him of a person in easy circumstances , to whom he should hare been married when a young man , of whom he thought he could borrow a few pounds . Accordingly he went and asked the favour . After a short pause , he was told that he had deceived her once , but never should do it again . With this reply ho walked out of the house to return to his
own , to try some other source ; but he had not proceeded far , when he was called back by his old sweetheart , who said , if thou'il promise me one thing , 1 will bury thy wife ; to which he consented . If thou'il wed me before thou buries thy wife , I will do as I have said . After a moment ' s pause , he said , agreed ; I will if it can be Bhap ' t . O ! said the fair one , leave that to me . Without more time being lost , they were on the railway to Manchester , whore a licence was procured ; but it being too late in the day for the marriage to be celebrated , they would not , however , leave the town until the nuptials were over ; they spent the night somewhere , but how , I am not able to eay . Next day , however ,
the knot wa 3 tred , after which a good oak coffin , of the value of £ 2 , was purchased ; the bridegroom a new suit of mourning , and each child had a suitable dress bought , all of which were packed in the coffin and Beat home . Four days passed over before the funeral could take place ; upon which day the new wife , being active iu the house , gave groat umbrage to the friends of the deceased ; and whea the corpse was about to be removed , as the new wife was taking her place next the hearse , with her husband , one of the dead wife ' s relations interfered . The new bride , showing her marriage certificate , insisted upon her right , and actually followed her husband ' s wife to the grave . On the same night , both the funeral and marriage feasts were kept up .
Henbt Hunt . —A tea party took place in Rochdale Theatre , £ ot up by . , the female Chartists of this place , tocomaaembrate the birth-day of Henry Hunt , Esq . The anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot was the time fixed upon to do justice to this friend of the poor , a day destined to annoy the powers that be . The taste with which the room was decorated , and the quality of tho viandp , reflected great credit upon the pretty . lasses " of Rochdale who managed this business . At six o ' clock , tea was on the table . The room in which tea was served out , appeared decorated with several appropriate mottos , such as *• Universal Suffrage , and no Surrender . '' "The otitraged laws of our country demand the return of Frost . Williams , and Jones . " "All are not men who b « ar the human form ; to wit , the Bishops . "

TH 0 M OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening . PUBLIC MEETING IN CHELSEA , TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN FOR THE LIBERATION OF FROST , WILLIAMS , AND JONES , AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS . Last evening ( Wednesday ) , a moeting was held in the spacious room belonging to Mr . Scott , Now Road , Sloane-street , Chelsea , to consider the propriety of presenting an addres 3 to the Qtieen for the above object ; aa well as to eurol members in the National Charter Association , upou tho plan proposed by the Manchester delegates .
About eight o ' clock , Mr . Hexhkrington was voted to the chair , at which hour the room was tolerably well filled , and by liineit was completely orowded . It should be a sourco of congratulation to tho Chartists of Chelsea , Hammersmith , and Kensington , that a room , like the ono ia which this meeting was held , ia henceforth available for their purposes . We have seldom seen a room of its order better adapted for public meeting ? , where economy iu the rental ia a : i object ;; and would fain hope that the opening of Mr . Scott's Assembly Room will prove the prelude to a resuscitation of the real Radical cause in tins quarter of the m ; iiopolUan environ ? , whore , some seven yeari since , it flourished in full vigour .
TheCHAiRMAN . in opening the business of the evening , said they weie met for tho purpose of presenting ah address to her Majesty , for tho release of Frost , Williams , and Jones , who , according to the solemnly declared opinions of a majority of the Judges , had been illegally tried , illegally sentenced , and were now , of course , illegall y sufiWing banishment ; having been struck down aad destroyed for the noble stand they made in tho cause of the psopla ' a rights . Ho ( the Chairman ) would uot justify any act , if those men had acted erroneously ; but every person who looks at this question must eeo that it is the duty of tho working classes to stand forth to defend those men who have been made victims in their cause . Look at the middle classes :
there was a mau who had lately had a very harsh and , as almost everybody agreed , a cruel and unjust sentence passed against him , for having resented a studied ineulfc put ; upon him by his superior officer—he alluded to the case of Lord Cardigan and Captain Reynolds . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) But this Captain Reynolds , who no dcubfc bad been very harshly ai : d tyrannically treated , was a middle-class man—hence all the sympathy of hi * caste for him , who were resolved to do something to lighten his Iosse 3 and mitigate the soverity of his punishment ; yet these men see the members of the working class , one after another , banished from their country , or imprisoned in un » remitting torture , for ' years , and not an eftorfc will they make to save them . Now , in thejease of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , nine out of the fifteen judges
declared that the proceedings wore illegal ; and if we onco admit that a deviation may be made in the smallest particular , if will always occur wherever there is one mau whom they wish to convict . If tho working classes are true to themselves , they ought to do all they can to remedy such a state of tfaing 3 as this . He ( Mr . H . ) knew that Mr . Frost ' s family have been reduced down from a state Of affluence to that of destitution and extreme want , and it . becamo their duty to rally round theo , and assist and co-operate iu doing justice to them . We , she working cuis 3 e 3 , succeedod "in restoring tho Dorchester labourers ; why should we not succeed iu restoring , these patriots 1 Fur , as Water continually dripping wears away stone , so will the conr tinaal perSByeranco of the people soften . tho pbQurate hearts even ot ¦ ¦ nu jast "judges . But look into the

cases of these men , and see what they were driven into this course for ; why , because they used language , and did a few acts that the Whigs deemed intemperate , they were arraigned for high treason , and , in spite of the expressed illegality of their trial , were now banished from their native land to a penal settlement . Truly , the wonder is , that the whole people don ' t rise like one man to put an end to such a state of things . 'Tis all nonsense , ( said Mr . Hetherington)—you recollect the story of Demosthenes , when a citizen came and told him of such grievances and sufferings that would have driven » stoic mad ; yet he repeated his tale in such an unimpasftioned tone that Demosthenes doubted whether he were a marble man or a human 4 > eing and denied that the other had endured what he had
represented . The aggrieved party thu 3 felt his honour to be touched , and though he could bear the recollection of his wrongs patiently , he could not bear the reproach of falsehood ; and so it should be with the people , when they hear of doings like those which had illegally banished Frost and his companions ; for with all our desire to be temperate and calm , we cabnot resbt the expression of our indignation . Let them get up a public opinion , by working on the convictions of the people , that this system of punishing men who lift their voices against injustice is a bad systen \ and they must succeed in abolishing it . Mr . H . concluded by making a powerful appeal for the . family of Mr . Frost , and sat down amid loud cheeriug . Mr . Fosset moved the first resolution , which was as follows : —
" That in the opinion of this meeting prosecution for political opinions is unsound in principle , and unjust in practice , and only tends to establish despotism and tyranny over the great mass of the people . " Mr . Staixwood , in seconding the resolution , said they bad mot to-night for the purpose of sympathising with the numerous political victims who were confined in the various gaols throughout the kingdom , 'for the expression of their opinions on political subjects . Feargus O'Connor , for instance , was in prison for expressing his opinions in the N&rihern Star , and the other victims for expressing their opinions on the various hustings . In tha terms of the resolution , the prosecutions in this respect were unsound , because those who have expressed these
opinions , had adopted them honestly , entertai ned them conscientiously , and had ari ght to express them candidly . But , even if they did not express themselves quite properly , it was becausethemajority had never had the advantage of education at Universities ; and , therefore , if any parties deserved punishment , it was the Government , who , having the power , and having been abundantly supplied with the means , had neglected to ' -educate them . They had , however , no money to spare for such a purpose , though they ha d p lenty to give fo educate the Queen ' s horses . ( Loud cheers , and cries of " Coma to the dog-kennel next , "" Howabout the monkeyi > , " * c . ) The Whig 3 had done all they could to sappress public opinion during the time of the unstamped
) ress ; but he s * w , upon looking round the room , four or five who had been imprisoned in . that cause , now met to aid in the cause of Frost and his companions . The great object of the people should be to prevent the recurrence of these prosecutions in future , and this-they could do , if they were united ; 3 ut latterly there had been no union among them . They had had many meetings , but the slightest thing had dissevered them , like a lot of sparrows when fired amongst . The plan proposed by William Lovett , of obtaining the people ' s rights , though slow , was sure , and this might be aided by another plan ; they ( the people ) find the means of
carrying on such prosecutions as that which had banished Frost , Williams , and Jonea , not only by the compulsory taxes , but by those heavier and more destructive voluntary taxes , in the shape of beer , tobacco , and Bnuff . He recommended them to join the Chartist Temperance Societies , because men make themselves by bad habits what they have been called— the canaille , the mob , &c . If for no other object than to secure the release Of those who are suffering unjustly in the cause of liberty , the people ought to become total abstainers , and they would soon realise for England , Ireland , and Scotland , what had long been idly written about them , and make them in reality , at once ,
" Great , glorious , aad free ; First flowers of the earth , and first gema of the sea . " Mr . Stall wood sat down amid loud and general applause . The Chaibuman now put the resolution , which was carried unanimously , amid long-continued cheering . Mr . Ridley , in moving the second resolution , observed , that the question was not one of mercy , but one of justice ; and he would Bay with Shylock , " talk not to me of mercy , give us jvsticb ! " Have the people nevar asked themselves about the coldblooded conspiracy of Cast lereagh and his compeers against Thistlewood and his so-called fellow conspirators ; and have they not looked at the more
recent wolfoh ' conspiracy under a . Lamb leader , against Frost and his companions ; and yet would they not raise their voices and ask for justice \ If they continued to toil on from week to week , tamely submitting to get dneekhthjor evon less than that , of the produce of their industry , what , think you , will be the birthright of future generations ! Mr . It . concluded a brief but animated address by tha following remarkable sentence : — " We will try for j ustice by legal taazxis ; but if we cannot obtain our rights by ilejral '" means ' ; then , ~ 'blood , massacre , and death , rather than submit to this Btato of things . "—He moved the following resolution : —
" That the sentence passed on those virtuous patriots , John Frost , Jfcphauiah Williams , and'William . Jones ; was cruel in the extreme ; inasmuch as that nine of her Majesty ' s Judges decided that the point of law raised by Sir Frederick Pollock , at Monmouth , was good ; and that , therefore , they ought to have beea restored to their distressed families , instead of having been sent to a penal colony , there to ba insulted by official myrmidons for tho remainder of their lives . " Mr . MopBRroae to second the resolution with mixed feelings of pleasure and regret ; it was a pleaeuro to participate in any means that might have a tendency to recal John Frost to the bosom of his family , and it was a source of regret to reflect that such , a man—the most sincere and disinterested that
he had ever looked upon—should be torn from his home and his country by an . illegal sentence . He ( Mr . M . ) had had the opportunity of observing Mr . Frost ' s disposition , on many occasions , in the Convention . He was never the man to create schism , or to make an enemy ; and he was so thoroughly Bincere as to command the respect of every one with whom he came in contact , and that sincerity ' it was , he verily believed , that had made him a martyr . Mr . Moore then proceeded to contend , very lucidly , that a penal Act of Parliament cannot be set aside ; if the judges have power to misconstrue or alter one letter , they have power to alter two , and so" oii , ending only with the end of the Act itself ; and , though the Chief Justice gave his
pledge on tho trial , that if the verdict were against the prisoners , and Lho reserved point of law were given in their favour , they should ba placed in exactly the same position as . though the . poiut were decided in their favour at the time of trial , yet they wore not placed in the same position , although the in ijority of the fitteen judges had declared it to have been an illegal trial . Mr . Moore next alluded to tho case of Sheen , who cut off the head of his own child ; and because the infani was described in the indictment by the name which had been given it , but had never been baptised , the indictment was declared void , and the murderer was set at liberty : and eo in the case of a man who was indicted for stealing a sack of sawdust ; it was contended that sxvrdust might bo made ffoui a saw cutting iron , or brass , or woodor
, many other things , and that the mere term . saw-duit was not sufFii-ent , and this was held to be a gool objection , aud the iudictmen't was quashed . ( Rear , hear . ) In all these cases of penal statutes , the Judges would not depart from the strict letter of the law ; yet , though nine of the Judges had fc iven it as their solemn opinion that the trial of Frost was illegal , ( and . if ho were to single cut the Judges , he could show that they were the mosD eminent on the bench at the present time , ) the law Lad not bjen complied with , but strained and broken to meet a caao of political hatred ; and-Chief Justice Tindal'spledge had beea violated , that the prisoners should have all ths advantages of the decision of tho reserved point in their favour , as though , it had beea decided at the time of the trial . ( Loud cheering . )
Mr . Wheeler , in a very sensible speech , supported the motion . ' Mr . Wall moved , and Mr . Millwood seconded the resolution : — " That an humble address be presented to her Majesty , praying her Majesty to grant a free pardon to Jokn Frost , Zephauiah Williams , and "William Jones ; together with ail persons couliued for political offences . " An . address to her Majesty , in conformity with the resolutions , wj . ? then uim , nitnou ? ly adopted , and ordered to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the moetin . rj , which concluded . by the Chartist National Autho . ra being sung in good Btyle , and with prompt efi ' ect .
