      THE LATE ELECTIONS , ( Continued from the Third rage . ) Mr Dixon afterwards addressed the assemblage , and said . -Gentlemen , ! came out upon the principle ot Universal Suffrage ; by those principles I have been this day triumphantly elected as your representatives , and notwithstanding what jugglery may take place m the shape of a poll , I shall consider myself tho lonl and lona-fide representative of Wigan : and should I by an unjust system be prevented from taking my seat in the House of Commons , I shall have tbe prond consolation of knowing I am the paople ' s representative , au honour to which , after this day neither of my opponents will dare to lay claim ' Thanks were then given to tho mayor . and the proceedings terminated . After perambulating the principal streets , the Chartists halted in the Orchard , when Mr Dixon briefly addressed them , and congratulated them upon the triumph which they had achieved . Mr D . then returned to Manchester .

      Mr Dixon subsequently again visited Wigan , and delivered an address explanatory of the National Land Plan , and the benefits to be derived from the Land and Labour Bank . The meeting was held in tho open air , and there could not have Seen less than from 3 , 000 to 4 , 000 persons present . At the conclusion three loud cheers were given to the brave iellows of Nottingham .

      SHEFFIELD . The address of Mr Clark , we unhesitatingly say , notwithstanding its being chiefly in reply to the speeches of Messrs Parker and Ward , was one ofthe moat talented and cleverly arranged defences of Chartist opinions that we ever heard . It evidenced at once no mean analytic mental power , and a happy facility in instantaneously moulding the doctrines of the Charter into the form of axioms whereby to test the viows which had been advocated by previous speakers . Mr Clark ' s mind is clearly far in advance ot , and above the average of the most distinguished ofthe politicians ' with whom he has allied himself , and we cannot but hope and believe that when its enthusiasm shall have been somewhat subdued , —as , from those indications of perceptive and reflective

      power which it possesses , subdued it must be—its outgoings will work a corresponding salutary effect on the no doubt honest and ardent , but nevertheless ill-arranged intellects with which it habitually comes into friendly collision . Mr Clark's mode of argument in favour of Universal Suffrage is peculiarly ad captandam . Inded , we hesitate not to say that the impression which tho gentleman has produced on this locality is decidedly favourable ; and while we intend to devote all our energies to swell tbe majority of Messrs Parker and Ward , we at the same time openly express our wish that the visit of Mr Clark may arouse the spirit oi the liberal electors of this bovoiuh to seek for vote by ballot , triennial parliaments , and household suffrage—to secure any or all of which we will cordially go hand in hand with them . —Sheffield Iris .

      The good feeling , and the just appreciation of his opponents , displayed by Mr Clark , the Chartist candidate , did much to conciliate towards him the good will of his reflective hearers . A slashing style of personal invective , an attempt to deprecate or ridicule his opponents , mieht have gained for him some uproarious applause . But he has secured for himself nnd his friends a more permanent advantage . The hustings' shouts would have died away had they been a thousand times more excited than they were ; but the example which has been set of a working men s candidate , maintaining his opinions with ability and firmness , and yet with that courtesy which indicates a sense of self-respect , -and of respect for others , is a lesson for the public , from which all classes will derive advantaae . —Sheffield Independent . HALIFAX .

      On Monday , August 2 nd , a public meeting of nenelectors was held in the Codney-croft , Halifax , when Mr Robert Sutcliffe was called to the chair . Mr George Webber ably and eloquently addiessed the meeting on the subject of exclusive dealing . He contended that Sir C . Wood and H . Edwards were tho opponents of Teetotalisro , separation of Church and State , the People ' s Charter , and every measure which bad a tendency to benefit and elevate the working classes of this country . Let their motto be , ' No vote , no custom ; ' and they would secure tbe return of the man of their choice at the next election . Mr J . Bowden next addressed tbe meeting in a masterly manner , and ably refuted the arguments which had been urged by our opponents against the illegality of our carrying out exclusive dealing . He said that some of the millocrats were turning off those of their workpeople who had taken any part iu support of Mr Jones ; but the Messrs Crossley , the

      largest firm in Halifax ( who supported Mr Jones ) , had come to the determination to employ all those who were turned out of work . Alter a few remarks from Mr B . Rusbton , Mr Bowden proposed three cheers for tho Messrs Crossley , which were heartily given . Upwards of 7 , 000 people wore present . Cheat Femals Meeting-. —fin Monday evening , according to announcement , a meeting of females was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall for the purpose- of carrying out exclusive dealing . Mr George Parker was called ou to preside . The meeting was we 1 conducted throughout , and eloquent and talented speeches were delivered bv xMessrs Clisset , Webber , Bowden , and Rusbton . There could not have been less than 2 , 000 females prevent . At the conclusion , three hearty cheers were given tor Messrs Jones and Miall ; throe for O'Connor and tho men of Nottingham ; three for the exiled patriot , Frost , Williams , and Jones . Tho meotins dispered highly delighted with tho evening's proceedings .

      , at Tiverton , has managed to extort from Lord Palmerston the most lengthy and plain-spoken . account ot his stewardship ever given to the British public . Ihe way it was done was simply this : Mr Chartist opposed my lord the Secretary as a candida-e for liverton , and thrashed him thoroughly upon foreign policy . His lordship launched out in fullest measure , and in mob oratorical style explained all about Indian mysteries , French intrigues , and Portuguese broils . A rich treat awaits those who have yet to get hold ofthe oration—Bucks Advertiser .

      CITY OF LIMERICK . ExTRAonwsABY Scbnk . —At eleven o ' clock , on Tuesday , a court was held in the City Court-houae to nominate the candidates for the representation of this city . Martin Ilonan , Esq ., T . C ., then came forward amidst loud cheers to propose Mr John O'Brien . Rev . Mr Brahan , P . P „ seconded the nomination . Mr Walnutt ( the mayor ) then came forward to propose Mr John O'Connell amidst loud cheers . Rev . Mr O'Connor , P . P ., seconded the nomination , and called on the people to be peaceful and orderly , and to hear any gentleman who had any other candidate to propose . The High-Sheriff then asked if there was any gentleman who wished to propose any other candidate . Rev . Mr Kenyon

      ( 'Young Ireland ' s chaplain ) , then rose amidst terrific storms of groans and yells . A voice— ' He is no elector : lie has no right to speak ( great uproar ) .-He has only registered last sessions . ' There was then a legal consultation among the lawyers on the bench ,, after which the sheriff announced tbat Mr Kenyon had a right to speak . The rev . gentleman then proceeded to address the electors , but was met by a storm of groans and terible uproar . At length , after the rev . gentlemen who proposed and seconded the other candidates interfered , and claimed fair play for him—he was allowed to proceed , though interrupted with shouts at every sentence . He said he would role for John O'Brien if he took the pledge against place-hunting . ( Tremendous uproar . ) lie would

      never vote for John . 0 Connell , and for this determination he had two reasons—one was , that he was a tyrant ; and the other was that he was a slave . ( Tremendous yells . ) He concluded by proposing Mr Richard O'Oorman , jun ., of Dublin . A show of hands was then asked for , and tbe sheriff declaring they were in favour of Mr O'Brien and Mr O'Connell , The Rev . Mr Kenyon demanded a poll . The assessor of the sheriff then informed Mr Kenyon that he was responsible for a third portion of the expenses of the election . There was then a legal discussion as to whether he was bound to psy down then , or givo security , or whether it would do before going to the poll . The latter was finally decided , and Mr Kenyon said he would persist in demanding a poll , knowing

      that the friends of freedom would see him harmless . He would subscribe ten guineas himself . Mr John O'Brien then addressed the meeting and refused to take the pledge against place-hunting . The court was then adjourned . till next day to make arrangements for the appointment of assessors and the erection of polling booths . After the Rev . Mr Kenyon had left the court , the crowd rushed forward and laid hold of him , but he was immediately rescued from their hands by the police . Several of his reverend brethren ¦ immediately came to his assistance , in whoso company , and escorted by the police , he retired to the residence ofthe Rev . Mr Casey , the crowd following , yelling and groaning with the utmost vehemence .

      WATERFORD ; Dreadful Riotixo . —The following letter appears in the Dublin Evening Post : — Waterford , August 8 . —Our election , as you are aware , has terminated in the defeat of the two lata members . I have witnessed many elections both in this city and country , but nothing everwas wituessod equal to the conduct of the mob here on ? this occasion , led on by two strange clergymen . The local paper will give you but a meagre notion of their' gentlemanly' conduct at the nomination . On the evening of that day the house of Sir Winston Barron ' s proposer was attacked , and every window broken , and although we had a police force of nearly two hundred , and ' - two troops of dragoons and infantry here , yet no attempt was made to repress themany rio's tbat occurred tbat night . On the polling day , the town was completely at the mercy of the mo \ Barron and Wyse ' s voters were either compelled to

      remain within doors besieged by tbe mob , or if they had the courage to appear they were instantly pursued , pelted , and violently . assaulted ; the result , of course , being that large numbers remained unpolled , who sent to the defeated candidates to say they dared not venture to the booths . Many of Barron ' s voters were carried off and shut up in our Town Hall against their will , and forced to the poll by the Repealers , and upwards of two hundred voters were forced to break their promises . A . most respectable tradesman , a member of Barron ' s committee , had hia house attacked tho day before the polling , and to appease the mob , rather than endanger the life of his wife , who took , to her bed terrified and on the point ofher confinement , he wenfrforward and polled for Meagher and O'Connell . During- the whole of Friday , the town was literally in the hands of the mob , to the utter'disgruce of tbe authorities .. An appeal to a committee of the House of Commons cannot fail to be sue-

      SPAIN . Tne Carlist Insurrection is making progress . The $ sen a troops are beginning to desert to the' rebels . ' A letter dated 1 st inst , from Perthns . announces TiM a whole company with its officers , of a light inauiry raiment , had gone over to swell the ranks of the insurgents . inotber horrible act of cruelty had been added to tbe blood-stained annals ofthe civil war in Catalonia . ft : the evening of the 30 th a fire of musketry was sard from the town of Manresa , eleven leagues from Saeelona , and on the morrow the authorities of the ssaer town discovered with consternation that a % htfalmassacrehadbeencommittedbythefacciosos

      a tse vicinity—fifteen corpses , two of them headless , Bathe remainder mangled with bayonet stabs and lirced with ballets , lay upon the high road ; they veierecosnisedas the remains ofthe unfortunate sHaiere of ths Union regiment , who Kith Lieutenant fsria were made prisoners on the 2 Gth ult , at lirana , by the Montemolinist chief , Calecrus . * GenenlPavia and his lieutenants have shown no mercy tj those facciosos who fell into their hands ; they have pea shot boys of fourteen and fifteen for being found is company with the insurgents , and the above fercma act may be regarded as a savage act of reialiataaonthe part of the Carlists ; and as long as this terrible struggle continues we may expect to hear of sanaiinary reprisals on both sides .

To the hardships of oppression is added the ^ grace of being trampled on by foreign foes . Por---2 ai is , in short , butla sleeping volcano at present .

      It is said that the Democrats are undoubtedly pre- ' fared to rise again on the withdrawal of the allies , >? d that they have 50 , 000 stands of arms secreted in ^ Ssrent parts of the kingdom .

This address wns presented by President Ochsenbein to tbe Diet on the 26 th . Le Courtier Suisse says that iu conseaaence of the late resolution of the diet , twenty ^ eight federal officers , ot whom seven are colonels , have been called on to renounce the service of tbe Sunderbnnd , or to be dismissed the federal service . Their answermust be remitted before the 10 th instant , otherwise they will be forthwith cashiered . On the 2 nd instant the

      executive government made communications to the diet of intelligence which had officially reached it , by which it appears that preparations for war are in active progress throughout the canton ofthe Valais . The landsturm is fullv organised , and the auxiliary troops intended for the canton of Fribourg have received the plan of their march . Another body is to be cantoned in the Lower Valais , with a view to an irruption in the adjacent canton of Vaud . ' Staffofficers are engaged in making surveys and reconnoissances in the territory of Luceme . on the Bernese frontier , where entrenchments are to be immediately thrown up . Fortifications are ia progress of construction at the pass of the Brunig , where several hundred men are constantly employed .

      The Swobimi JMercnrv has the following from Vienna , dated the 2 nd : — We learn that 12 battalions will soon march towards the frontiers of Ital y and Switzerland . The government is resolved tbat the Radicals in those countries shall be under no mistake as to its intentions . ' We learn byletters from Bernp , of the 6 th inst ., that the committee on the hostile proceedings oi the separatist cantons presented its report to the Diet on that day . The report , after giving the details of the measures brought before the committee , recommends that the Cantons ofthe Sunderbnnd be immediately required to suspend the measures which they are taking , and that the authorities of Tessino shall be antborised to retain the munitions of war which they stopped in their progress to the insurgent cantons .

      ITALY . Letters from Rome of the 2 Sth ult ., mention that the Austrian Cabinet had addressed a note to the Pontifical government , in which it declared that ia the event of any disturbances in the dominions ofthe church remaining undepressed , or crimes being unpunished , Austrit would consider the Pope incapable of maintaining order in his states , and feel it her duty to interfere . General Radetsky , commanderin-chief of the Austrian army in Lombardy , had been empowered to act according to circumstances . It was reported that Cardinal Ferretti had , in consequence of that notification , ordered the Swiss regiments , and all tbe troops disposable , to march towards the northern frontier .

      Letters from Rome of the 1 st state that public confidence wasrestored , and that the people had completely recovered from the excitement occasioned by the discovery of the conspiracy of the retrograde party . The service of the National Guard was admirably performed . Strangers were surprised at the progress made by the armed citizens in military manoeuvres , which can only be accounted for by the patriotic zeal which animates them . The people , notwithstanding the assertion of Father Roothan to the contrary , persist in regarding the Jesuits as hostile to the liberal system inaugurated by Pius IX ., and the Holy Father himself appears to concur in that opinion . On the Slst ult ., the day ofthe festivity of St Ignatius , the Pope was to have

      assisted , according to usage at a ceremony celebrated in the church of their convent . To the great annoyance of the rev . fathers , and the satisfaction of the oeople , the Holy Father thought proper to depart from the established rule and abstain . The proceedings against the conspirators were conducted with activity . The arrest of Colonel Freddi and Captain AJai , and the character and previous conduct of the persons placed under the hands of justice , who all belong to the party of the old regime , afford so many proofs of the gravity of the plot . The number of persons implicatd in the late conspiracy confined in the castle of St Amrelo , was about eighty .

      One of them , the Chevalier Minardi , was said to have made important disclosures . Colonel Freddi and Captain Alai , captured at Camerata , on the frontier of Naples , arrived on tbe 27 th nit . at the castle , in charge of Colonel Captivera and a magistrate named Mam . On the same day AI . Morandi , ihe Governor of Rome , invited all foreign residents to account for the object of their stay in that capital . The Pope had adopted the helmet , instead of the shako , for the National Guard , because it was worn by the old Rocaans . The other parts of the ' uniform also resemble as mack as possible the ancient costume .

      The deputies from the provinces will be convoked in that city ontheoth of November . The regulations under which the national guard will be organised throughout the Papal states were understood to be completed , and would be published in a fe ^ r days . - ¦ - ' Letters from Florence say that the recent events at Rome have produced great excitement and alarm among the population of Tuscany , who manifest likely apprehensions of secret machinations of the agents of the retrogaade party , similar to those against which Rome has protected itself by the immediate formation and arming of the national guard , and that a like measure is everywhere loudly called for in the grand-ducal state . Letters from Rome , ofthe 1 st inst ., have brought the intelligence of the nomination of the provincial deputies , who are te meet in that city in November , and to form a representative council .

      At Ferrara , the anniversary of the execution of the brothers Bandeira has been solemnised iu the very beards ofthe Austrian troops , which have been withdrawn from the city into the fortress .

      THE WAR IN THE CAUCASUS . GLORIOUS VICTORIES OF THE CIRCASSIANS ! * Letters from the interior of Russia , ' says the CoRstitutionnel , — Describe the losses sustained bv the Imperial troops in the last engagements with the Caucasians as far more considerable than was admitted by thehniletinspublished at St Petersburgh . At the storming of Gergebil the Russians had 1 , 700 killed and wounded , 83 of whom were outers . In the retreat , a detachment of the regimentof Colosel Jewdokinoff fell into an ambuscade of tbe iesghians , in which S officers and 140 men were killed Shortly after the evacuation of the country by the Russians , numerous detachments of Tschetschenses and Lesghians appeared on the Koissou and Silak , menacing the Rustiau lines , and spreading devastation and terror

      among the tribes allud to Russia . Since these defeats , tie name of Scbamjl is in greater honour than ever . The wh « le TscLetuhna is to motion , and it appears tbat Schamyl is meditating a still more important expedition against the Russian positions . Prince Worouzow was making preparations not only to repel tbe enemy , hut likewise to resume the sie ; e of Gergebil . No sacrifice will be spared to destroy that place and remove the impression produced by the retreat of the Russians on the neutral tribes . In the meantime , as tbe cholera is now making great ravages , it will not be possible to undertake any serious movement . On the right wing the Ubisches and Tichigetes repeatedly attacked the forts of Gagra and Pitzinka . It was said that tbe former had surrendered to the assailants . Tl . e General-in-Chief had consequently reinforced the right wing . The march of the troops from the interior had been suspended in consequence of the

      prevalence of cholera . A p rivate letter from Constantinople of the 22 nd ult ., mentions that tho Circassians had cot off the ears of a Russian General taken prisoner at Gergebil , and sent them aa a present to Count Woronzow . The cholera ii raging in the Russian army ; it hasfcarried off General Kolaweski and Colonel Prince Orbelian .

      Trul Of Thb Polish Prisoners. The Trial ...

      TRUL OF THB POLISH PRISONERS . The trial of the Poles implicated in the late insurrection commenced at Berlin , on the 2 nd instant . A solemn service was held in the chapel of the state prison . In compliance with the new principle of publicity , the public were admitted into tbe body of the church , and seats" were also reserved in the gallery . Just opposite the entrance door was placed the bureau of the tribunal ; to the left the seat ofthe register and tV . e two interpreters ; to the right the seat ofthe public minister and his two substitutes . The accused were seated on five benches prepared for them , and placed en amphitheatre , as well as in the space generally allotted to witnesses ; the solicitors had taken their seats before two long tables . The tribunal was presided ovtr by M . Koch ;

      there were seven judges , and several assessors . U . Wentzel is the public prosecutor . The greater numl er of the lawyers belong to the city , and the others have been called from tbe duchy of Posen , on account of their knowledge of the Polish tongue . The entrance of the judges into the court produced a great effect on the auditory ; The proceedings commenced by tbe reading of tbe names of the accused . The accused themselves seemed greatly moved : many of them , who met for the first time since a long captivity , embraced each other . Even tbe accused of a lower class kissed the hands of their mere elevated fellew-prisonerg . The two interpreters having taken the oath of faithfully fulfilling their duty , the principle act of accusation , drawn up in German , was read , after which the court adjourned .

      On the 3 d , at eight o ' clock , the court was again thrown open . Sixty accused were present , all of them belonging to the Polish nobility and accused of being accomplices of Mirbilawski . The President called the name of Louis Miroslawski , npon > wbichthe latter rose , his counsel , Br Meyer , stood beside hire , The act of accusation against Miroslawski was then read to him in Ur Polish tongue , and afterwards in German . Miroslawski is S 3 years of age ; and was born in 1814 , ; at Nemours , in France . His father was lieutenant-colonel in tbe Polish army , and aide-de-camp of Marsh *! Davoust . At the age of seven he entered the corps of the cadets of Kalisch . In 1 S 30 he was named standard-bearer ofthe 5 th regiment of bis line , at that time in Warsaw , and took part in tbe revolution , when he was promoted to the rank of

      lieutenant in a cavalry regiment . He subsequently came to Paris , where he was received as a Polish refugee . There he was obliged to give himself up to literary pursuits in order to obtain a livelihood . In 1842 he becatne ' a member of the central committee of Polish movement in Paris , and in Mb he received orders to go to Posen in order to examine the state of preparations for the in . surr . ' ction . He arrived at Posen iu March , 1645 , and after a conference with Heldmaun , Dr Liebels , and de W / olniewitz , he wrote to the central junta in Paris to inform it that it was vain to contemplate an insurrectional movement inlS 45 , but that it should take place in 1816 . He returned to Paris in November , 1845 . Held , maun , however , requested his [ immediate return to Posen , giving as a reason tbat tbe filial associations were desirous that the movement should take place immediately , and a chief was wanting . Miroslawski accordingly lett Paris , and reached Posen on Christmas eve , with the most

      extended powers from the authorities in Paris . He went to reside at the house of the director ofthe establishment at Jarokowski ; conferred Aiih the chief of the arista , cratic party , and gathered strategic and statistical information towards furthering the insurrectiion . At the same time he sent to Paris , by Br Liebt-ls , for 1 , 500 thalers to eonip officers . He then named Br Liebels governor of the province of Posen , and went to Cracow on tbe 8 : h of January . 1816 . There he attended the conferences of tbe chiefs of the insurrection , Lessowski , Czechowski , and Eisowski , and the general insurrection was fixed to take place on the 1 st of February . On the 23 th of Jan ., 1 S 1 G , he returned to Posen , and organised the authorities ofthe new kingdom of Poland . In the midst of these preparations , however , he was arrested on the 12 th of February , having been betrayed . In his bouse were found papers , maps , and plans concerning the insurrection .

      During the reading ofthe act of accusationtheaccused remained perfectly calm , and not understanding the German language , the questions put to him by the president were translated by on interpreter . The interpreter having announced that the accused acknowledged the act of accusation to be correct in the main points , the prisoner then demanded permission to plead his cause in French . This was refused by the president , who said he must speak either in Polish or German . Hereupon his counsel stated that the accused being a Frenchman by birth , he had tbe right to defend himself in the langaage of that country . The President : This canset be accorded . The accused then presented a manuscript as bis defence . This was objected to on the ground that in oral proceedings a written defence could not ba admitted . Tbe president , however , said that the manuscript would be received provided the pleading took place in the German or Polish tongue .

      The accused then rose and spoke in the Polish language , with all the energy and vivacity natural to his countrymen , first in a powerful and energetic tone , and then in oue which gave tokens of the deepest emotion . The Commissary : Although I do not understand the Polish language , it strikes me that the accused has said a great many things that do not appertain to the question ; that his intention is to influence tbe feelings of the public and his fellow accused . I therefore propose that the essential points of his speech be alone translated , and that the court decide whether he shall be allowed to

      centinne . The . Fresideut : Has the accused examined the general bearing of the accusation ? Tbe Interpreter replied that he had defended the revolution on much higher grounds . The bench hereupon held a short consultation , and decided that the proceedings were perfectly justified as yet . M . Martins , an advocate , rose , and in the name of all the accused demanded that ; M . Uireslawski should bo allowed to repeat bis speech , and tbat tbe interpreters should translate it . He said that the proceedings were null owing to the interruptions tbat bad taken place , and that it was requisite to know what the accused had said [ loud cries of bravo' from the { . uhlic } . One of the interpreters was called upon to state what had been said , which he did in general terms .

      The advocate Firbach then rose for the prisoners , aud protested against the whole proceedings , on the ground that mangled statements were invalid [ loud applause iu court ] . The President called for silence , and declared that in the interrogatory each word should be faithfully interpreted . With this the prisoners' counsel were satisfied , and tbe proceedings continued , being confined chiefly to questions on the prisoners' connection with the democratic society .

      . The proceedings of the 8 rd closed at a quarter past three in the afternoon . Amongst other statements M . Miroslawski declared that the conspiracy was directed against Russia , and that no projects were entertained relative to the duchy of Posen ; thathe was to have been the leader for the first rising in the duchy , so as to guide the troops from there into the kingdom of Poland . The documents siezed in M . Miroslawshi ' s apartment were placed before him , most of them he acknowledged to be his . He declared the report of a projected ' Sicilian Vespers'to be a pure fabrication , and that a sham attack was projected on Posen , to put the troops on the wrong scent . The Court then broke up .

      On the 4 th the Court opened at 8 o ' clock , and the examination of Wladislaus Eusehius Koainski commenced . The accused was born in 1814 , at Torgowa-Gorka , is a Catholic , studied at different German universities , and entered a dragoon reg iment in 1834 . The examination of this prisoner was chiefly confined to questions on papers siezed in his rooms . Kosiuski declared many of the accusations to be false . Ho denied having made declarations against Elaanowaki . The latter was then called , but pleaded bis ignorance of tbe German language . This led to a discussion , and it was finally agreed that he should apeak through the medium of an interpreter . He said that he was in connection with Kcsinski on pecuniary business , but denied

      having spoken with him about the revolution . Kosiuski admitted that Miroslawski had offered him tbe command of the insurgents ia West-Prussia , which he bad refused , but offered to take a less important port , if Prussia remained neuter in the struggle . Some other witnesses were called , but not one of them would listen to questions put in the German language . A Jetter written in French was produced , which being translated , was to tbe intent to prevent the accused from incriminating each other at ihe trial , sajitig it was more honest to conceal the truth iu their own interest than to make declarations in the interests of their opponents . This letter was found in tbe prison at Sonnenburg , in the prisoner ' s own handwriting . This day ' s proceedings

      terminated at two o ' clock . An incident took place during the esaminalion which excited to a high degree the interest of the public in the galleries . The government commissary having addressed a question to tho prisoner , the advocate of the latter rose , and demanded of the president if tbe commissary bad tbe right to eross-question the prisoners % ^^ president replied in the affirmative . The advocate ( M . Crelinger ) said that according to paragraph t 3 of the law of 17 tb July , of the preceding year , the conmuesary had no right to do so . This the president would not agree to . " Apauwofhalfan hour ensued ; after wh . chi the advocate Lisieckl rose , and in the name of h . s ftHowadvocates declared that the commissary had bo right to cross-question the prisoners , and that if be pel-slftted IB dofeg so , they ahoald instruct their clients not to reply to his questions , . . . . .

      On the 5 th the sitting was taken up with the interrogation of Bronislaos Dabrowski . The bearing of taw , case closeo the first part of the criminal proceedings-The counsel for tbo prosecution then rose and spoke in support ofthe accusation . After drawing a rapid asetcH of the Interrogatories of the accused , Miroslawski , Kosinski , and Bronlslaus Dabrowski . he spoke to ihe . follow-Ins effect : —« I hare qualified the faets adducod as high treason , and I maintain the accusation . The law says tfcatany attempt , baringfor its object the Overthrow of the comtltutien of the state , or being directed against tbe life or liberty of the prince is high treason . H l » evident tbat the presentoase may he so defined . The object of the attempt was the re-establishment of Peland

      within the limits which it possessed in 1772 . It ts true , Miroslawski has pretended that tbe plan was direeted against Russia , that it had a political and a military object , tort flat genlfenjsa in m djiag only rests bis

      On the Sth the proceedings began at eight o ' clock with the examination . fBronisaus Dabrowski . The accused was born in 1816 , and is the son of General Dabrowski , a person of high official rank and noble lineago After studying at the Universities of Leipzic and '< lBerlin , ho entered an artillery regiment in 1835 ; but having mar . ned in 1812 , he retired from the army , and withdrew to bis own domains in the Grand Duch y of Posen . The accusation is based on the following facts- —That Dabrowski was one of the founders of tbe Polish Jockey Club ( a political society ) , and took a leading part in all its operations ; that he was informed of every step of the Democratic Society , and that ' be expressed bis willing , ncss to Mieroslawski to do all that was in his power towards the establishment of tbo independence of Poland ; that in 1846 a secret council was held in the house of tho tcocbir Liecli-jcwrki , at which the accused , W . Dzwonkowski , Tb . Magdzinski , and Mieroslawski , were present ; that in that meeting the ' plans for the

      insurrection were decided upon , and he , Dabrowski , appointed chief of the insurgents on the right bank of the Vistula . Thathe accepted that post , and started on the Sth oi February , 1846 , with Dzwonkowski foi ' Kuflew , a country place belonging to bis wife , near \ Varsaw , so as to bo near the spot of his operations . That he travelled through different parts of Poland , and had secret con . fcrences with the different leaders of the insurrection , especially with Panteleon Poctocki . That be , with the assistance of Miecki , examined tho works of the fortress of Demblin , which was to be stormed . That he then concerted the attack on Siedlceon the night of the 2 lsl February , which he entrusted to Potocki , who lost his life in that affair . That all bis plans were ripe , when he received a letter from his wife informing him that all waa discovered , and that Russian troops were advanciig by forced marches towards the frontier , upon which he crossed the frontier and surrendered himself prisoner to the authorities at Harzberg ,

      Dabrowski , in his defimco , acknowledged that he was a member of the jockey club ; that he was aware ofthe existence of a democratic society ; that he had interviews with Mieroslawski on the political affairs of Poland in general in 1815 , but that he was not then called upon to take any part in a political movement . It was only iu 1816 that he knew Mieroslawski by his real name , as he had been introduced to him under that of Kowalski . It was then only that Mieroslawski revealed to him the projected insurrection , and requested his cooperation , to which he assented . His interviews with Miecki and Potot-ki were truly stated in tbe actofaccu . sation . He denied having given instructions to Potocki to mako the attack on Siod ' ce ; but had endeavoured to dissuade him from it . His projected attack on Demblin was delayed for want of men , and on tho receipt of his wife ' s letter he perceived that all chance of success was over , He denied tbat an insurrection was projected in Posen , and said that Poland was to he the scene of action .

      The Government Commissary , Councillor Wentzel , then rose , * and in an address which lasted more than two hours in delivery , supported the accusation for the Crowa against the prisoners Mieroslawski , Kosinsky , asd Dabrowski . The counsel for Mieroslawski , Dr Meier repelled the accusation of high treason brought against his client , which called for a reply from tbe commissary , ThePresident then told Mieroslawski that if he had anything to add in his defence , be was at liberty to ad > drtss the court ia French .

      - Mieroslawski spoke above an hour , entering into details connected with the late political movement , and was at length interrupted by the President , whereupon tbe court adjourned for the day .

      Close Of The French Session. The Nationa...

      CLOSE OF THE FRENCH SESSION . The National sarcastically describes the closing of the session of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday last , as follows : — A very few deputies figured at tbe last sitting , which was embellished ae usual by the embroidered coat and the red riband of MM . Gutzot and Salvandy . The first of those Ministers read tha ordinance , and M . Dugulie shoutrd' God save tbe King . ' This victorious cry , utteredfrom that noble . breast , found two or three feeble echoes , after which M , Bigoa declared that by tho terms of the Charter , the Chamber should separate imroedia . tely . M , Dugalie repeated his exclamation , ' God save the King , ' and all was said . To our next meeting , therefore , satisfied majority . Carry into your departments tbe civic crowns with which tbe Ministers have adorned

      your brows , The population of Paris accompanies you with its homage . Tell your constituents to what a degree of glory , of purity , of farce , and of honour , you have raised the King ' s Government . Recount to them those brilliant sittings , when your indigrmut virtue covered tbe deformed nudity of the grand policy . Forget not with what an accent M . Ducliatel maintained that he was a stranger to the 100 , 000 f . demanded and paid for a theatrical privilege ., Forget not the contradictions exchanged during those sittings which resembled a court of assize , and those accusations of having sold , or suffered others to sell , Parliamentary Bills—of having offered a peerage on disgraceful conditions—and the it t . ters of General Cubit-res , read at the tribune , and M . Dumon , the Minister of Finance , declaring iu the face of the country that the corruption denounced was calumnious , and the former colleague of M . Guitot declaring his innocence with imperturable audacity , uutil

      he was overwhelmed with the most evident proofs , and M . Cunin GrMaine , senior , of Sedan , convicted of having received . 500 definite shares iu a railroad—a shameful and infamous action t Porgat no page of that memorable history ! . . . And , if your constituents ask you what compensation you bring them for so many scandals , open the book of the budget before them . Count the millions , then add nearly a milliard of deficiency—a loan of 350 millions—every reform rejectedall economy declared impossible—public affairs in confusion thefloating debt excessive—treasury bonds paying 5 per cent , interest—the rate of discount maintained at the same price by the Bankof France—and then pray of . them , if they dare , to measure the depth of tho filthy pit into which the government has fallen , and ivheroyou have engaged yourselves , in order to respond , no doubt to the patriotic wishes of that splendid electoral body which appointed you deputies , .

      The Fraternal Democrats. Tbe Adjourned M...

      THE FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS . Tbe adjourned meeting of the above society was held on Sunday evening last , at the White Hart , Drury-Iaue . Henri Ross was called to the chair , and took a review ofthe progress ol liberty and universal brotherhood , as evidenced in the results of the late

      elections . ¦¦ ¦ » ,. Vim . Gardner considered that the fact of Julian Harney opposing the Foreign Minister , Palmerston , and the fact that such spirits as F . O'Connor , \ V . J , Fox , G . Thompson , Pearson , « fco ., were returned to Parliament , was an earnest that the people of this country were progressing in liberty and independence . And if sorno of those who had been ehoson did notcomo quite up to the mark , the people must urge them on and make better men of them . He was glad to see that foreigners had begun to understand and appreciate the exertions that the English Chartists had made in advancing tho cause of democracy .

      Carl Shapper said , they had seen , by the late election , tho progress thut the people oi" England Ua & . made , and which would have its due influence on he minds ofthe people ofthe continent . He repudiated the word 'Foreigner , ' made use of by the previous speaker , for though the society was composed of win of all countries yet they were all brethren , working men , proletarians having the same objects to strugglo for , and the same enemies So combat against . Coas . Kebx considered that they had met on one of the most important occasions in this country ' s

      history . Since the association had been in existence they had geon tho quarrels of two great nations brought to a pca'cftil termination , and tokens of friendship passing from one to the other v thus practically teaching tho great principle of universal brotherhood . . The i & ct ' tbat the people of this cour .-try had declared for a further advance would have a great effect iu paralysing the power of the despotic rulers of the world . Let England once ha ve a free Pai'liainentanugood-by to tyranny throughout the world .

      Juliah Harsev then addressed , the-meeting ' at some length on tho intetesting proceedings at Tiverton , and the glorious Chartist victories at Nottingham and other places . ' lie was loudly applauded . Some members were fleeted , and a vote of thanlta was passed to the chairman . The meeting then adiourned till the brat Monday in September .

      Election Movements Middlesex. The Pollin...

      ELECTION MOVEMENTS MIDDLESEX . The polling commenced en Monday morning at 9 o ' elock . "Though the interest which in former times used to concentrate itself ia the town of Brentford , as the only polling station , for the county of Middlesex , is now divided with eleven eth : rs , it still retains its attractions as the place : ! where the opening and concluding scenes of elections are presented , and where the candidates may be expected to make their public appearances . There was , however , but little of the animation which generally attends an election contest . There was some bustle , without excitement and the most obvious indication of

      enthu-: siasm , if such it coulffbe considered , . consisted in a profuse display of favours and flags . Considerable interest , however , was shown when Baroa Lionel de Rothschild appeared and voted tor Lord R . Growe . nor and Mr R . Osborne . The polling proceeded languidly , and once or-twice nearly half an hour elapsed without a vote beiag tendered . On the second day , towards the close of the proceedings , a little stir waa created at Brentford by a very clum & y attempt at swindling , which was practised on an honest publican by some fellow evidently but a bungler in his art . Between three and four o ' clock a man came to the bar ofthe White Swan , and presented a cheque for

      ^ 0 10 s ., drawn on Coutts and Co . on one of their ' own cheques , and signed Lord R . Grosvenor . Theacute landlord thoug ht there was something wrong , and called one of Lord Robert's committee int » consultation ; but meanwhile the man vanished a . pdthe cheque remained impounded . On Monday , Major-General Fcx , the late member for the Tower Hamlets , and who was supplanted by George Thompson , the Universal Suffrage candi-. date , at the recent election by an overwhelming majority , went to the Hammersmith poll-book and recorded his vote for Wood , tha Tory , and Grosvenor , the Whig . Query , does this indicate tho course his brethren ofthe Whig ministry intend to . pur : Ue .

      ESSEX ( SOUTH ) . This has been one of the moat closely contested of the county elections . The small majority against Sir E . N . Buxton on the first day ' s poll filled ihe Conservative party with dismay , aad inspired the Liberals with , the confident hope of triumph . The Liberals , previous to commencing the contest ^ never dreamt of running the Conservative candidates so hard , thelatter having looked on the south division ofthe county as a thing which was to be theirs ia perpetuity . Accordingly , between the fears of the Conservatives and the hopes cf the Liberals , the poll opened on Saturday morning under peculiarly exciting circumstances . Early in the day persons wh <» had been bedridden for years were carried to thopoU * ing-booth . Some were so . very ill that their friends

      were apprehensive the exeitement might he attended with fatal results .
