Alter Closing My Lust Letter In Skibbert...
And carts were emptied of their contents with little or no resistance 0 . 1 the par- oi the owners . The moaiite 1 tinlice are all ou dtt . patrolline the streets inthtiut ' eV , a-itisfeared that the number of tie rioters will be augmented by re-iuforccments of the naempl-iycd labourers from the more remote parts ol the country , . Air . Suterintendent Walsh , of the A division assisted by a party of tic Joroe under his command , succeeded in dispeiting the multitude , and In takiny . twenty-two ot them into custody on Friday night . On Saturdav morning Superintendent Walsh appeared before Sir Nicholas FitMimraons , at the head office of police , to sustain acharge of riot and tumultuous breach of the peace against the partiesiin
custody . On being sworn . Mr . Walsh deposed mat ne and a party of the police force proceeded to the sccnof riot , in Mill-street , Newmarket , and Mea lb-strce ., where he found a great multitude assembled , wno conducted themselves in a lawless manner ; yui , in-• rder to crush the disorder at once , he took twenty two prisoners indiscriminately into custody , by which quiet was soon restored in those streets , lieactea , fie said , in a summary way in taking those persons intocu todv , having heard that the . e « ere some similar proceedings on the north side ot the city ; and eonsiiering that some stringent means ought to be resorted to fer the purptse of putting a stop to those proceedings , he made prisoners of these persons whom lie found in the crowd , without discrimination as to whether they were or not leaders of the
mob . Mr . Wilson , Mr . Madden , and other respectable proprietors , made application to tbe bench on behalf of some persons charged , who had been in their employment , and to whose good character they bore testimony . Sir Nicholas Fitzsimmon said that he could cot make any distinction between persons who were found in a riotous mob . The authorities were not obliged to identify every person who mig ht be detected in a lawless assemblage . It was quite sufficient that they were found in a crowd , and they should abide the fate which awaits those who are detected in evil company . Superintendent Walsh said he would not press a prosecution against those whose character had hitherto been good , and on this recommendation tht worthy magistrate discharged twelve of the party , atsd admitted the other ten to bail on their own
recognizances . In the meantime the prices of provisions are rising every week , and unless some check is speedily given , thsrs is no use in concealing the fact that destitution in its most formidable shape will be a * prevalent in the lanes and alleys of the metropolis as it is in Skibbereen or Bantry . The price ot the large ( -lib . ) loaf is this week ten-pence halfpenny ; after to-day another halfpenny will be laid on , and flour factors calculate that it will go up to one sh 1-ling , at which figure it will remain stationary lot some months . This refers to the first quality ; inferiur is , of course , somewhat cheaper . Bacon .
which was heretofore a comrooi article of food with labourers and mechanics , is now , from its enormous price , placed quite beyond their means : and as to * g :: s , they have become as rare as good potatoes . Their present rate here is 2 s . per dozen , and even in country towns , where » jear ago they could be had three for a penny , they have increased fourfold in value . Owing to the inability of the poor people to feed fowls without the assistance of the potato crop , they are killed , and either consumed by the owners or disposed of in the adjacent towns and villages . And thus , is another means cut off by which the cottier tenant was enabled by thrift to save something for the rent day .
One evidence of the vastly increased mortality in Dublin is afforded by the following extract from the book ofthe Prospect Cemetry : —Burials in November and December 1845 , 802 ; in l & ffJ . H 39 .
SIAIS OF THE PROVINCES . A sys ' em of deliberate roboery is rapidly establishing itself in almost every part of the country . Tne country papers are filled with details of easesof every variety- In the county Tipperary , near Clerihan , a car which was conveying a ton of oatmeal for the Roscrea Relief Committee was surrounded by about forty men , who carried off the entire load . A military order has been issued for the protection of the canal boats , which there is strong reason to suppose could no longer ply in safety wif bout such security . Numerous robberies of provisions have been committed during the neck in the towns of Maryborough and Mount Mellick , Queen ' s County . The number of paupers at present in the Mounttnellick workln use is over 1 , 050 . Such is the extreme destitution in the neighbourhood that the bread for the paupers bad to be escorted to the poor house with fixed bayonets .
The At / ilone Sentinel says : — "Destitution is fast ^ preading in this locality . The coroner , on last Sunday , held four inquests , and the verdict of the jury in each case was" Died from Starvation . " * The same paper gives tbe particulars of the plunder of the same flour which was oa its way from Clara to Athlone . Ti . e L' allinasoe Star mentiozs death from starvation in that town , and gives an afflicting account oi the state of destitution . The Galwuu Vindicator gives accounts of death * from starvation in various parts of thatcounty .
Wc anticipated , says the Belfast Banner of Ulster , that the " Yorkshire of Ireland , " as tbe count ) Djwn has been not inaptly termed , would havt been almost exempted from the privations and destitution which have laid to fearful a hand on the pooi of other parts of Ireland . We regret to learn that the people of tiiis favoured county are approaching daily nearer to a state of destitution , similar to that of which so much is heard in the south and west . UEASCKES SUGGESTED BT THE L 1 XLORBS * COMMITTEE , FOR THE MRETLVG OF PEEKS , COMMONERS , < tC .
The Reproductive Employment Committee reassembled en Friday and Saturday , at No . 15 , College-green . On both days there was a very numerous attendance , including peers , members of the Hon * of Commons , and landowners from various counties . The committee decided upon some matters 0 ! great importance , to be submitted by way of suggestion for the adoption of the meeting to be held in the Rotunda . First , the Committee have decided on recommending that the system of summary distraint for non-payment ef rent , which has been so frequent a cause of collision between the police and the peasantry , should be abolished , and the Scotch system of remedy or the landlord substituted .
Secondly , the committee suggert that a legal right should be given to the tenant for compensation for outlay in valuable and permanent improve ments in his farm , to be regulated on equitable principles , as regards the interests ot proprietor and occupier . The committee bare determined net to recommend any measure upon which there is a difference of opinion amongst themselves . They have , in consequence , made no suggestion upon a subject which has occupied much of their intention , the reclamation and colonisation ofthe waste lands of Ireland by the state . * A prep indenting majority of the committee have expressed opinions highly favourable to
such a measure ; but a tew extensive proprietors deprecated , iu the most emphatic manner , any interference by the state in the way of assuming possession of the waste lands ; aud on account of those objections , the question has been left in abeyance . Another subject of considerable importance that hzs engaged the attention of the committee is the generally miserable condition of the habitations of the agricultural population . Upon this point the numbers ofthe commi . tee , so far as they have express-id their opinions , are decidedly favourable to h Mi ^ gesticK , that in future no cabinsshall be erected wliicn were not of a comfortable description , and t- ' i-t the hovel system should be entirely abolished .
The subject * f modifications in the Irish Poor Law was a ' so broached at the committee ; but . under existing circumstances , it was deemed advisable 10 offer no sUitje-iion on that question . Respecting absentee landlords , it was unanimously recommended that they should be dealt with in the most decided manner for tbe benefit of the country .
REPEAL ASSOCIATION . This association had its weekly gathering today . Al ! was as dull and stale , but not quite so unprofitable as usual—the rent am / Minting to £ 110 . 9 s . 2 d . £ 5 . of this sumcarae from the islands of Arran , where the people , they say , are dying like rotten sheep . Tbis does not require a word of comment . Drogueda , Jao . 9 . —We regret to find that outrages and attacks on the bakers' bread carts and baskets are becoming frequent in Drogheda . The constabulary force here are almost fatigued to death with extra duty , as escorts to the bread , flour , and other provisions leaving town . Mayo . —Extermination by Famine—We extract tho following from a letterin ' tbe "Dublin Freeman ' s Journal : —"
"In one parish of the county ( Cong ) it apparg from the statement of the Rer . Dr . Waldron , twenty-seven deaths from starvation have occurred within the past week ! ^^^ "A letter from the Rer . Mr . Henry , parish priest of another parish of the same county , alluding to a late communication , in which , about a fortnight since , he had announced eleven deaths by starvation , say * , — * Since my last communication I regret to inform you tbat at least twenty deaths have occurred in my parish , Islandeady , county of Mayo , from starvation , and I fear tbat unless immediate and extensive employment be given , I will have to record deaths not by units but by dozens . '
"The Rer . Patrick M'Manus , parish priest of another parish of this country , the same clergyman who , about tea days back , gave a'list of twenty-seven persons that had died of starvation in his parish in three weeks , now announces that death is about to deal no longer with single victims , bat with whole batialiions . He says , 1 am convinced that , ere another month , half the populatim of my parish will be swept away .

TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Friknds , —The only object I had in producing "The Labourer" was to ^ serve your cause , I fully agree with every word of reproach heaped upon its appearance by the reviewer , while I am pleased at receiving the hi ghest encomiums on its contents . Indeed , I will hoastingly assert , that the first number of " The Labourer" contains more matter , serviceable to the cause it professes to serve , than all the magazines put together that have yet made their appearance . I know that 6 d . a month
is a large tax upon the badly-paid operative '; and I tlsokuow , that when he pays such a sum for literature , it should be in a form of which he might be vain . I was the first to denounce the slovenly appearance of the first number , and , however the REVIEWER may praise the printer ' s share of the work , I tell you that the unsightly appearance was his , and only his fault , as to him was left the sole management . However , it is fortunate that the fault can be remedied , which I propose to do thus . I am aware ha t a book is no
like a newspaper , and that the poor man who purchases a book in numbers , will take a pride in having them preserved and bound in volumes . To afford all such an oppor tunity , then , this is my intention : I will give to all thoie who purchased the first UGLY number , a handsome first number instead . All future numbers shall defy reproof . " The Labourer" is worthy of a good appearance , a nd shall have it . 1 suppose that about sis numbers
will be bound up together , and therefore all who have purchased the first will receive a uniform copy of that number , with number six , GRATIS , and as I also intend that portraits of Labour ' s friends should adorn each volume , I shall give a splendid portrait of T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., with the first ; that will be given with the sixth number ; and with each subsequent six numbers I will give a portrait , to he bound with the volume . Thus I rectify the first blunder . Your faithful friend , Feargus O'Connor .
The Flores Expedition. The Thames Police...
THE FLORES EXPEDITION . The Thames police-court was on Tuesday tha theatre of one of the most exciting scenes which has ever been enacted in it since the memorable case of Captain Johnstone . Colonel Richard Wright , Consul-general for the state ofthe Equadore , and alleged to be the head of an expedition which was said to be lately fitting out from this country for South America , was charged , at the instance of Inspector Evans of the Thames police , with a violation ofthe 2 nd section of the Foreign Enlistment Act , 59 th of George III ., cap . 60 . Mr . Ballantine , the barrister , and Mr . Shaw , ef Furnival ' s-inn , attended for the defence , whilst Mr . Potbury , from the office of the solicitor to the Customs , conducted the prosecution .
The first witness called was Mr . Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett . ^ He described himself as having been some time since a captain in the 11 th Hussars . He had retired from that service , and about the month of October last , hearing of an intended expedition to the Equadore , he called upon Colonel Wright , to whom he handed a letter , which tbat gentleman having read , he asked witness whether he was desirous of joining in the enterprise ? To which he , Tuckett , replied that it would all depend upon the rank which was offered him : to which the defendant replied that he should receive the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel . Witness asked what was
to be the pay ; to which Colonel Wright replied £ 20 a month . Witness observed that was very small , but the Colonel told him that at Quito all the articles of coasumption were exceedingly cheap , and that a fewshillings would be sufficient to provide for a large family . Witness asked what part of South America it was intended to proceed to ; to which the defendant replied—to the Equador . Witness asked if there was to be any advance ; to which Colonel Wright replied there would be an advance of o months . Witness observed that that was too little to defray preliminary expenses . Colonel Wright replied that tbat was the sum appropriated for the nurpose by the commissioners .
Mr . Yardley : What did you understand by the commissioners ?—Witness : I understood him to re'er to some Spanish commission which had charge of the affair . Mr . Yardley : Under what government did you suppose yen were to act ?—Witness : I understood under the Spanish , and not under the English government . Cdonel Wright told roe that I should ike General Flores very much ; that he ( the general ) had been in a hundred actions , in all of which he had proved victorious , I asked the nature of tbe command I should have , when the colonel old me that 1 , 200 men had been raised in Ireland , * nd that they should be under my commands , as I was the only person bolding the rank of lieutenantcolonel going out upon tbe expedition . Mr . Ballantine : I presume I may take it , Captain Tuckett , that you are the informer in " this case ?—Exactly so .
Mr . Ballantine : And became so because you could not get £ 65 ?—No , I claimed it oa my own behalf , * nd that of the other officers . Mr . Ballantine : You say you were a captain in -he Uth Hussars?—Witness : Yes , about eleven years since . Mr . Ballantine : Pray was that the last profession you followed ?—Witness : No ; I was a merchant in the city . Mr . Ballantine : What merchant ?—An East India merchant . Mr . Ballantine : In what commodities did you deal ?—In every thing that you could name , ( loud laughter ) . Mr . Ballantine : Then you are what is called a ^ enefaldsaler!—No ; I was an East India agent , and fbfifished the messes with wine , plate , and other commodities .
Mr . Ballantine : Oh , that is what you call an East India merchant . I believe yen failed in that capacity ? -I did . Mr . Ballantine : Was sot your lady lodged and boarded in the vessel ?—She was . Mr . Ballantine : That lady I presume was yoar wife ?—She is not—she passes as my wife . After some further questions , Mr . Ballantine pnt in two documents , the one an answer to some newspaper paragraphs , the other a petition addressed to the Lords of the Treasury ; in both documents the parties on boatd the Glenekr , professed to be "
emigrants in the strictest sense ofthe word , " and sent forth their anxious desire to be allowed to proceed ou their voyage . Captain Tuckett , on being close questioned , admitted that he had been a party to the getting up of both documents , though he knew the statements contained in them to be false . Mr . Ballantine strongly commented on the conduct ot tbe witness , and claimed the liberation of his client . The magistrate , however , decided as remanding the case , calling on tbe defendant to put in bail , himself in £ 400 , and two sureties ef £ 200 each . The securities were immediately entered into , and the case was remanded for a week .
Here one of the buttons was handed in by Mr . Potbury , upon which the magistrate asked the witness what he understood those marks to mean ? Witness : I understood them to be the title of tbe troop I was to command , viz .. "The President ' s Guard . " On the 29 th of October 1 spoke to Colonel Wright as to the advance which was to be made , and on the next day he gave me a cheque for £ 50 . being two months and a halfs pay which was cashed at the house of Glyn , Hallifax , and Co ., after a little hesitation . Witness then proceeded to procure an outfit .
Mr . Yardley : Was anything said about arms or equipments ?—Yes , we talked on the subject several times , and Colonel Wright said that an order had been sent out of rockets , £ 6 pounders , and 40 , 000 stand of arras . The witness then proceeded to state that to avoid all military appearances the men were ranked under the following heads : —Overseers , foremen , labourers , and youths . The overseers were to receive each £ 1 bounty on entering , tke foremen 17 s . 6 ., the labourers 15 s ., and the youths 10 s . Cd . 1 proceeded on board the Glenelg on the 20 th of December , where I found 220 men ; they were in a dreadful elate of destitution and making a tremendous uproar . I promised them , on my honour , relying on Colonel Wright ' s word , that they should have money next day , and acotrdine to my instructions
from the Colonel they were divided into watches , and in every respect treated as soldiers , and regularly paraded as such . On the 15 th of December , by the order ofthe officers of Customs I quitted the Glenelg , and on the 16 th 1 called upon Colonel Wright with the officers under my command , and having told him how we had been compelled to leave , asked what were hjs further orders * He replied , we were perfectly free to go where we pleased , as he had no further occasion for our services . I replied tbat the officers were without money , had been pnt to great expense in the purchase of uniforms , and that it would be mist unjust to dismiss them without some provision . I suggested that he had better give me £ 20 for . them ,. until he could consider the question of further compensation . In the afternoon of the same day Colonel Wright sent down by Sir James Hay £ 3 . for each officer .
The Flores Expedition. The Thames Police...
Mr . Yardley ; Do you know General Flores ? Witness : 1 understand ho is by birth a Venezuelan , and ex-president of the Equador . To Mr . Potbury : I inquired as to theunifarm , and Colonel Wrieht told me it was to be similar to tho English Light Infantry uniform , with bright yellow facings , which was the Spanish national colour , cocked hats , and plumes , and epaulettes of a Spanish fashion . At a later period Colonel Wright directed mt to go to Mr . Gurney , a tailor in St James ' s-streot , who had buttons cast purposely for the service . I pr ocured some , and found they had tha word Equador marked upon them , together with the marks G . Del Pres .

Lambeth —Bigamv Oa So Bigamy. — Edward R...
LAMBETH —Bigamv oa so Bigamy . — Edward Riley a stoker at the Westminster 6 ns Works , was brought before Mr . Norton , on a charge of deserting bit wife . ' aud leaving her burdensome to the parish : Mrs . Riley , a very good-l <> oking young woman deposed tbat In the month of June , 184 S , she was married to the prisoner who hud represented himself a * a single man , but soon after } had heard from persons previously acquainted with him that he was a married man , and had a wife and children in Ireland . She had not been long married when the prisoner used every effort to induce her to accompany him to America , and on her peremptorily refusing to do so he commenced to treat her in the most unmanly and unkind manner : it was bis custom to lock her up for days in a small ill . lighted room and take tbe key with him so that nobody could get to her , and at length he turned her out altogether . She then applied . to the paritf ^ ' ana Ifr . Dunn
had used every means to get her husband to do something for her but without effect . The witness added that what she had heard about the prisoner ' s having been previously married , she bad no doubt was perfectly correct , for soon after he had got rid of her , he was joined by a woman who no doubt was bis wife , and who , with her three children , had come from Ireland , and with her he was now living . Mr . Norton—Well , what have you to say to this charge of neglecting to support your wife , and leaving her chargeable to tbe parish t Prisoner—I should like to know , your worship , whether I am bound to support her if she voluntarily leaves me t Mr . Nortoa—You are obliged by law to support her , unless you can show that she has been guilty of adultery . Prisoner—I cannot prove that , your worship , though I have heard some queer things about her , and , besides lefi me of her own accord , and without the
slightest provocation . Wife—That Is not true , your worship ; he turned me out of his home , such as it was . Mr . Norton—Well , you hear what she stales . Besides , she says you are living with a female who she states to be your wife , and by whom you have had a family . Prisoner—Let her prove the marriage it she can , aud tlien punish me if 1 have done wrong . The magistrate ultimately made as order on the prisoner for the payment ef 8 s . 6 d . a week to bit wife ; observing , tbat he had the choice of doing this , or go for one rinonth to prison . The prisoner very reluctantly conseated to comply with the order ; and , having paid a month in advance , together with the * espense to which . the parishbad been put , aud the cost of the summons , was discharged .
CLERKESWELL . —George Wilson , a chimney-sweep , was charged with having stolen a quantity of dust , the property of Mr . Dodd , * the contractor for the parish of Islington , ; and * also Jwith having violently assaulted Collins , 59 * N division . " ; : Mr . Vunn . the solicitor , attended fer the , prosecution . It appeared that Mr . Dodd , who had contracted with the parish of Islington for dust , ifec , at a , very heavy ; sura , ? bad been at great losses in consequesee of [ repeated ; robberies , Tbe prisoner was observed by ^ CollingstoJtakt away a quantity of dust from the premises of . Mr . Webb , of Islington-gr » en , when , on apprehending ' him , he threw the officer dewn , and beat
and kickvd bim in a most unmerciful manner , and would have murdered bim had it not been for the timely arrival of Mr . . Doods ' s foreman , & c „ who released him , ' Mid | l took the prisoner , to the station-house , Wcer a desperate and determinta resistance . The constable was jseverely injured . Mr . iVann remarked that of late this . species " of offence had increased so much , to the prejudice of his client , that the » wera determined to check it , by rigidly prosecuting every delinquent discovered to commit it . The prisoner said nothing , and he was committed for trial for the robbery , and also for the assault upon Collins , the constable , whilst in the execution of bis duty .
BOW-STREET '—Henry Esmund , a messenger in the General Post-office , was finally examined and committed for trial by Mr . Jardine , for stealing money , articles of jewellery , Ac ,, from letters entrutted to bim iu hit occupation at , the Post-office . Tbe additional cast proved at this examination , related to & silk purse wtuck the prisoner t « ok from a letter stnt into tbe country to a'young lady named Bentley , visiting in tbe Tottenhamcourt-road . Tbe purse was found in the prisoner ' s possession , and , on bring produced in Court , was identified by Miss Bentley . The prisoner did not' appear more than 20 years , of age ; but tha sererafcases established against bim , disclosed more than ordinary recklessness and darlug .
THA . ME 8-STREET . —Genual Flobes' Expedition —Colonel Richard Wright , Consul-General of tbe State of . Eucador , in South America , and Aid-de-Camp to General Flores , surrendered , before Mr . Tardley , with his bail , to answer a charge of misdemeanour , in violating the provisions ofthe Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act , the 59 th of George III ,, cap . 68 , on tbe information of Captain Harvey Tuckett . The proceedings lasted a long time , but -the evidence wa > to the same effect as that adduced on previous examinations of persons charged with having taken part in the expedition . The witnesses examined were Captain Harvey Tuckett , Mr . Wm . Leigh Butts , Mr . Gabriel Maturin , and Sir
William Ogilvic , Bart . The first named witness said be was prsmised the appointment of Aid . de . camptoGeneral Flores , when tbe expedition reached the Ecuador , and that he had been to Limerick to procure recruits . Ue stated , however , that those he engaged at Limerick were to go out as emigrants , and consisted principally of artisans . One of tbe witnesses for the prosecution openly avowed that if be bad received tho £ 63 compensation money which had been claimed , he would not have appeared as a witness against Colonel Wright . The defeu . dant was ultimately ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . Mr . Shaw put in the names of respectable bail , who were accepted , and Colonel Wright was
liberated-An exciting scene immediately afterwards took place outside the Court . Capt . II . Tuckett no sooner reached the street than he was arrested by two Sheriff ' s officers , who led him away amidst the groans , hisses , and execrations of the people connected with the Ecuador expo , dition . Some of them offered personal violence , when the police interfered , but not before a scoundrel with a heavy stick hit htm on the back . Captain Tuckett was saved from further injury , and was escorted by the police some distance before the mob left bim . MARYLEBONE . —RorriAHLT Cutbacks oh a Mabaisn Woman . — Richard Hosken , a eonfectioner , in Albany-street , Regent ' s Park , and Samuel Corns , a cigar dealer , in William-street , in tbe same neighbourhood , were charged with assaults ot a most violent aud
brutal nature on Mrs . Catherine Hosken , wife of tbe firstnamed defendant , who was taken into custody by the police for tbe outrage which he had committed . Theother defendant was brought up on a warrant by Whipp , tbe officer . Complainant , whohad evidently sustained very severe injury , gave evidence to the effect , that for a long time past her home bad been rendered , completely miserable , in consequence of her husband neglecting his family and business , and spending the greater portion of his time at the shop of Corns , where be was in the babit of smoking and drinking , and he afterwards ill-used her . On tbe same morning , ( yesterday ) , at one o'clock , she went to the house alluded to , an j requested him to return home ; when , after being abused by Mrs . Corns , she was laid bold of by tbe defendant Corns , who thrust her into the street with so much force tbat she fell with her head ever tbe kerb stone into the mud , and received
such severe hurt on the back , as to render it aeessary to call in tbe aid of a surgeon . It was further stated that tht complainant , on retiring to rest , leoked her door , and that , at three o ' clock , her husband , who bad returned home , burst it open , and , laying bold of her savagely by the throat , attempted to drag her out of bed . He also struck her several times , and on cries of " Murder' ' proceeding from her and her children , all of whom were terribly alarmed , Hill , the officer , entered tho premises , and took the husband into custody . Hosken was fined 50 s ., in addition to which he was ordered to cuter into bis own recognisance in £ 100 to keep the peace towards his wife for six months . The other defendant , Corns , who said that he put out complainant gently , and that she slipped down , was fined 40 s . Tbe penalties were paid , and tht required surety having been entered into , the parties left the Court .
SOUTHWARK . —DennisSullivan , JobnMair , and Joseph Callagban , three powerful-looking young fellows , well-known thieves , were placed at tbe bar before Mr . Seeker , charged with two otheis not in custody in rescuing a prisoner from the custody of the police , and smashing a policeman ' s head iu with brick-bats , besides dreadfully injuring several others . It appeared from tha evidence that on Sunday evening out of the prisoners ' companions named Witty ( who has since been transported for seven years ) stole a quantity of cigars from a shop in Gravel lane , Southwark . He was taken into custody a short time after the robbery in the Red House public-house , when bt was rescued by tbe prisoners and his associates . After Witty was rescued , a mob of two or three hundred persons surrounded the polio * mostly thieves and bad characters , and commented ,
throwing brick-bats and stones at them . Richards , it M , perceiving Mulr throwing a brick-bat , and knowing bim to be one who rescued the other prisoner , caught hold of bim , whan ha was kicked by several persons behind , and was struck in the forehead with a brick-bat , which rendered him insensible . He was carried in that state to Guy ' s Hospital , when it was ascertained that his left eye was cut , and tbat a portion of the bone above had been forced in . So frightful was the weund that his eyesight was despaired of , and he was ordered to remain in the hospital . Pollccconstable 13 * M was struck with a brick-bat on the head while assisting the last witness . He also received several kicks en the lower part of the body , rendering him incapable of performing bis duty . Police sergeant 7 M said that when he was informed of the riot he proceeded to Gravel-lane and found upwards of 200 persons surrounding the constables . At toon as

he arrived they attacked hisn , aad whllt he had Muir in custody a brick-bat struck the latter ( evidently intended for him ) , and rendered him insensible . Witness was compelled to convey him to a surgeon ' s to restore him to his senses . The other prisoners and those who escaped were the wors \ William Morgan , a lad about ten years of age , said that he sawVicks thrown about from all parts . Sullivan threw a large one at Richards , wht instantly dropped down like a dead man . He saw the prisoners and the others who escaped throw stones and kick the police . In answer to the charge tht prisoners said they knew that Witty was not guilty ofthe
offence they charged him with , aad that was the reason they rescued him . They did not deny committing the assault , but they did it in self-defence . It was stated by one ofthe constables that the prisoners wert most desperate characters , and had been frequently in custody for felony aad other offences . Mr . Seeker said , thatit was a most diabolical and brutal outrage on tbe police . Tha officer was in such a state that the loss of bis eye was expected from their brutality towards him . He should commit them for trial , but as ether mea wtre implicated , he woald remand them for a week to give the officers an opportunity of apprehending them .

BRADFORD . West Testimonial . —At a meeting of Chartists , held at tho large room of the Woolcombers' Arms , Hope-street , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Thomas Cole in the chair , the article in the Northern Star , headed " John West , " was read to the meeting , and commented on . All present expressed their admiration of Mr . West for his services to the people ' s cause , and it is to be hoped that the working classes will now show that they are not unmindful of the great and valuable services of that sterling and talented patriot . On the motion of George White , seconded by Wm . Jackson , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — That this meeting , ' , fully appreciating the valuable services which Mr . John West has rendered to the cause
of Chartism , hereby determined to cooperate with the ' West Testimonial Committee , ' in order to show thtir respect for hit patriotism and ability . " The following resolutions were also agreed to , moved by George Demain : — That each member exert himself to collect subtcrlp . tions towards the debt due to Mr .

PRESTON . Messrs . M'Grath an » Clark . — The Council of the Preston Chartists beg you will insert the following in reply to a resolution of the City Locality given in last week ' s Star . Moved by Riohard Marsden , seconded by Peter Eddleetone : — . " That we the Council of the Preston Chartist Association , bo far from having any reasonable ground for accusing Messrs . M'Grath and Clark of indifference to the diffusion of Chartist doctrines , had , on the contrary , during their visit here , reason to
think that their acknowledged adherenoe to the Land project , but bound them more closelv , if possible , to our impe > ishable principles ; and that , if the members of our body within the City locality would but review their speeches as given in the' Preston Guardian and Chronicle' of the same week , and copied the week following into the Star , they would be equally qualified with ourselves to judge how far we are correct in our opinion herein expressed of their fidelity to the People ' s Charter . Richard M & ssdex , Sub-See .
Mb , Editor , —I cannot avoid taking this opportunity o ' state tbat iu my opinion all such resolutions as tht one from the City Locality , reflecting on the character and conduct of our principal officers , and sent for inser . tion in tbe Star , ought , instead of being inserted , to be carefully filed up in the office , and transmitted to tbe Annual Conference , when a committee might be appointed to examine and report to tht members tht charges therein contained . I have not tbe slightest wish ^ suppress any man ' s opinion , but we should always take
care to distinguish between opinions on political , reli . gious , and scientific subjects , and those which tend to asperse the motives and conduct of others . We should remember that in both esses it is possible for ui to bs ' in error , but that , in the one case , we only attack invulnerable truths which cannot be injured by us , so long at their advocates have equal opportunities to defend them , whilst , in the other , we attack a mortal like ourselves , whose happiness it , perhaps , at stake , and whose character , if we rob bim of it , enriches not us , but makes him poor indeed .
Tour insertion of tbis will oblige , Tours respectfully , Richard Maisdin . At a special meeting of the Preston branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , held on Monday evening last , January lltb . Mr . R . Walton was appointed scrutineer for tho nett month , and Mr . William Nolland , and Mr . Joseph Farey , were appointed auditors . All members in arrears for local and general expenses , are requested to . pay the same as soon as possible .

' On the motion of Messrs . Arnott and Wheeler , 10 s . was voted for their present assistance . A letter was also read from Mr . Cleave , which was ordered to be taken into consideration at the next meeting , which will be held at the Land Office , 83 , Dean Street , Soho , on Tuesday evening next , when the whole of the Committee are requested t » attend .
ACCRINGTON . On Monday evening , January 11 , the inhabitants of Accrington met in the large room belonging to the Lion Inn , to hear a lecture from the talented and accomplished lecturer , Peter Murray M'Douall . Mr . W , Beeblby was unanimously called upon to occupy the chair ; he stated the objects of the Land Company , pointed out the advantage of buying in the wholesale , instead of tho retail market , and the blessings ( hat will be produced by working men universally becoming shareholders in the Land Company . After a . few mora observations , Mr . Beesley introduced to tbe meeting
Dr . M'Douall , who was received in a manner that must have been highly gratifying to him . A more respectable and attentive meeting was never held in Accrington , and the room was extremely well fillau . The Doctor said he was well-pleased to see such an audience before him , and he trusted that he should be able to give satisfaction . He would treat the subject in a common-sense manner , and would not adopt the course some did , by making assertions and expecting the people to believe them as fact , without examining for themselves ; he would be glad to answer any objections , and would be very much obliged to any person who , if not satisfied after the lecture , would state the cause of his dissatisfaction . We were charged with many things that were not
true , and it was necessary that those charges should be refuted . The old " solder , who writes lies for the Free Trade rump , said we wanted to infringe upon the rights ot others ; but he would ask this meeting whether it was an infringement or not , to buy land when that land was in the market to sell . What friend John , the old Soldier , and the profitmongering class , were afraid of , was the co-operation of the working men—they knew well that the millions of pence from the many would accomplish as gioat or greater results than the pounds of the . fe » . It had already made them quail—the purchase of Herringsgate and of Red Marley had caused the Whistler to change his whistle into a howl , and cry— " We shall all be ruined . " He was bawling that— " The
Company would be broken up ; it could not stand ; it was not registered—no man could live upon two acres—and that agricultural labour was too bard and laborious for the people in the manufacturing districts—that the agricultural labourers were worn out in the prime of life . " Dr . M'Douall believed that if the people would join the Land Company , and purchase the land , the Whistler , and those who belsnged to his tribe , would be ' ruined ; for then no one would employ them to write down a practical plan that everybody was feeling to be good and receiving the greatest benefit from . The result would be , tbat the more the people . were located upon the soil the cheaper would be the food of the people , and the scarcer and better paid would be the labourers in the manufacturing districts . Instead of the hastiles being filled with paupers willing to work , supported from the wages of the half-paid worker , they would be producing food at a cheaper rate ,
supporting themselves , needing more and better clothing , making a demand for the labour of those manufacturing , instead of making a demand upon their p ockets . As to the Company being broken up , it was not very likely the Land Company would be to ; but it was not unlikely that tho company of Whistlers would be changed into a mourning company for their " occupation that was gone . He quite agreed that to till the land was very laborious , working from dawn to dark , with bended and almost broken backs and nothing to eat in their bellies ; but he ( Dr . M'Douall ) thought that nothing could be more delightful to a man than to stand upon his own freehold—to dig it—to till and labour upon it with a full belly , and to know that the profits of his toil wculd not be divided between a landlord , a farmer , > speculator , a miller , and a shopkeeper ; but that it would be divided between himself , his wife , and his children , and thus would the labour , iastead . ' ot ' beinff irksome , would be sweet

and pleasant . But the Whistler was to be excused for he was a second Rip Van Winkle , who lived in America when the Crown of England ruled the destinies of the Americans ; Rip fell asleep , and slept fifty years , and when he awoka tho Republic was established in all its power-so it was with tbe Whistler , he had once whistled at the plough , when the sluggish mode of farming was carried out , and , unfortunately for him , he had fallen asleep some sixty years age , and had only just awoke . It was quite true that a man could not make a living under the old system , but he would recommend them to try it—let them take a piece of land , ' enclose it , dig it , trench it , and manure it , and in a very short time it would yield threefour , or
, five times as much as that from which it was enclosed and had been under the cultivation of the plough , —he therefore ! hoped , that the Land ] Society would be supported , forlwhatever the Free Traders might say , with all their notions of Political economy , and foreign trade , the people might depend upon it , their wages would never be higher until they made a good home trade , and that could not be done unless they oould find fnll employment for the people , and the only means by which this could be effected , was to place the surplus labour upon the land , then wages would rise , when if manufacturers wanted one hundred hands , they could only get fifty , and the reduced price of produced [ bread stuffs , would hats
eause more money to be spent in clothing , , shoes stockings , and , thus would one trade support and employ another , we should then be in a far happier condition . The Dr . dwelt upon many other subjects , and made one of the best lectures we had ever the pleasure of hearing . It is tho decided opinion of all who heard him , that it would be highly advantageous to society , if Dr . M'D 9 uall was employed as a lecturer for the Land Company . He is decidedly calculated to increase the members , and ' able to defeat the machinations ot such tools as "Whistler . " He is the best lecturer we have heard for many-aday . A meeting will take place at Mr . Beesley ' s , every Sunday evening , at six o ' clock , to enrol members .
WEST RIDING DELEGATE MEETING . This meeting was held according to notice in the Working Man ' s Hall , Halifax , on Sunday last , Mr . Clark in the chair . The minutes of last meeting were read over and confirmed after which the following resolutions were agreed to : — " That the delegates here at present use their influence in their various localities , to bring forward fit and proper persons who are willing as local lecturers to form a local lecturer ' s plan . " " That in future only one delegate from each locality will be allowed to sit in the West Riding delegate meeting , until such time as the delegates see a necessity to alter it . " Mr . Crossland gave notice of his intention of resigning the office of West Riding secretary , having held that office for three years . It was resolved to postpone tho election of secretary until the next meeting . The following was adopted : —
" That the delegates here assembled , wished to impress upon each locality the necessity of immediately forming electioneering committees ( where they are not already formed ) , and commence collecting funds for the purpose of securing the return of ns many Chartist Candidates as possible at the coming general election , to assist our noble champion Duncombe in his arduous struggles for the people in the shouldbo House of Commons . " " That this meeting bo adjourned to Sunday the 7 th day of February . " J . Crossland , Secretary .
MANCHESTER . The usual weekly meeting was held in the People ' s Institute , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Sutton in the chair , when Mr . J . J . Clarke addressed tha meeting , ably exposing tho " Whistler , " and his base attempt to destroy the confidence of the people in the only plan that had ever been brought for the emancipation of the millions , from the slavery of such men ss those who employed the old soldier to do their dirty work . Mr . Clarke was much applauded . Mr . Dixon followed , and was greeted with the hearty plaudits of his fellow-townsmen . Mr . D . addressed the meeting on the necessity of increased confidence in each ether , inasmuch as the game that
was being played by Bright and Co . was , the same that their enemies always played when the working men combined . and co-operated for their own benefit . Their object now was , and always had been to destroy the labourers' confidence in each other , and create suspicion of the honesty of the office bearers of their association . The shareholders had confidence in the Directors , for they knew them to be honest working men who had everything to hope for from the success of the plan , and ruin to themselves and their class should it fail . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Dixon then urged upon the audience the necessity of struggling for the Charter , at the same time they were trying to secure for themselves the Land . In looking over the Star of yesterday , he was
surprised to find a resolution from the City Locality , demanding to know if Messrs . Clark and M'Grath hare done their duty when on their late tour . He ( Mr . D . ) did not know the object of that resolution , nor what the mover of it was driving at , but to say tbe least of it , it inferred that the Chartists of the North , either did not know when their officers did their duty or that when they saw them neglect it they had not moral courage to speak about it . He , however , in accordance with that demand had a resolution which he would move for their consideration . He then read the following : — "That we , the Chartists of the Manchester locality , in public meeting assembled , consider the demand made by the city locality to be uncalled for , inasmuch , as if the conduct of Messrs Clark and M'Grath , whilst amongst us , had not been such as we had a right to expect
from them as Executive Councilors of the National Charter Association . We ourselves would have been the first to call them to an account ; and further , we hereby publicly declare that they did , whilst here , attend to the business of the Association , and the spreading of its principles to our entire satisfaction , and , that , by their uniform good conduct they have secured for themselves our confidence and esteem . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Jam ° s Wheeler , and when put from the chair , was carried without a dissentient , although the hall was crowded in every part . The Chairman said , it gave him much pleasure to attach his signature to that resolution , for he could substantiate its truthfulness , having heard them every time they spoke in that hall ; and more than that , he had followed them into places , and always saw and heard them act as they had done here .
The thank > of the meeting was then given to the speakers and the chairman , and the audience sepa rated .

BIRMINGHAM . At our usual weekly meeting , held at the Ship Inn , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Chapman in the Chair , after reading the correspondence in the Star of last week , in reference to the proposed plan of raising a national tribute to Mr . John We & t , the following resolution was passed : — " Resolved—That having heard the letter read applying for a testimonial ; to Mr . West , published in the . Star of Saturday , January 9 , we can at all times fully appreciate , the talent and honest sacrifices of any individual connected with the cause of liberty , but with all respect to that man , by . his connection with the Protectionist party , atUr tbe resolution of the Manchester Conference , we consider he has committed himself with the National Charter Association , by violating the rules , in not abiding by the division of the above Conference . "
Resolved— " That Mr . Potts act as Scrutineer , and Mr . Fussell and Cartland , as auditors to tha Land Company . " Messrs . M'Grath and Clark . A vote of thanks was then passed to Messrs .

Tha following resolution was passed unanimously : —
Tbat it is the opinion of tbis meeting , that the Char , tists of the city locality should have been positive tbat Mr . Thomas Clark and Mr . P , M'Grath had not done their duty to the People's eause before they madt th 8 complaint . And it is also the opinion of this meeting that the request of the City locality is too much for any one place to require or demand . The Chartists of tht largo town in the manufacturing districts ureas capable of discerning and appreciating tht merits and demerits of men advocating the ct . utt of the toiling millions et the Chartists of the City locality , and will feel it th * ir duty to make the public acquainted , when the advocates of their cause omits doing their duty , and therefore tbe Chartists of this town express tbeir best confidenec in Messrs .

ROCHDALE Dr . M'Douall lectured last Sunday evening in the Chartist room , to a numerous and attentive audience We think if the Doctor was established for a month or so by the Directors in Yorkshire and Lancashire he would do a vast amount of good , and send the Whistler home to his plough .

The following resolution was proposed by Benjamin Rudman , and seconded by John Taylor : — "Resolved , tbat this meeting feels great pleasure in testifying to the Chartists of Great Britain that the lectures lately delivered by Mr .
