      Dr Kahk , of Kilkenny , proposed the following re-• That the acts of the English parliament since the legislative union between this country and England , but more especially during its latest sessions , are sufficient proofs of the utter hopelessness of looking to it either for justice or good government , and that there was no prospect of happiness or prosperity for this country until it is free from the painful influence of foreign , hostile , and oppresaive legislature . ' That acting on thia conviction , tha Irish L"s . o \ xe has been formed with the sole view and object of restoring to Irishmen their ancient constitution of Q , ueen , Lords , and Commons , hj the combination of irishmen in a course ef action at once constitutional and decided .

      from the hon . number for Middlesex ( Mr B . Oiborne ) and he hoped that feon . gsntlessan had learned a lesson which would lead him to ba more cautious in whom he confided for tha future .

An impression prevailed in the City , which he believed was well founded , that it would not be competent to the government t j levy the duties ( oa sugar ) according to law which were now being levied by resolution of the house , and that the minster , if bs prorJsia to raise tbe duties as they were at present raised , must ask leave of the house to withdraw his bill , to cancel his resolution , and to begin the wkole matter over -ip s . in .

Tbe former gentleman intimating that he had previously ailed the attention of the Giancellor of the Exchequer to the subject .

      THE LKSB PLAN . Mr O'CoMxoa claimed the Indulgence of the bene * while he made a few observations with respact to certain aspersions which had betn cast npon his character as to the application of the funds of the National Land Company . He begged to state that , after a most rigid in . vsstigation of the whole accounts by aa accountant appointed by the Committee , the Chairman reported to tho Committee this day , that bo far from Hr O'Connor having absorbed the funds , there was now doe to him the sum of £ 3 . 200 , indapsndent of any remuneration for his services for three years and a half . ( Cries of Order ,

      order . The Speaks * informed Mr O'Connor tbat he was ont of order to refer to the proceedings of a committee which had not reported to the house . Mr O'Coaaoa said , what he wished to complain of was , that the Chairman had made no report of the matter to the house that day , while he was in ths prao - tlce of doing so on a ll previous days , when the evidence went against him , aad he now took that opportunity as the Chairman hod not reported , of stating in vindication of his own character what had taken place .

      Af tEr a discussion , the till was ordered to b « reported , and reprinted oa Monday . Jueies 1 H Ieelakd . —On the motion that the house resolve itself into a Committee of Supply-Mr Kiogh moved for the appointment of a Select Com . mittee to inquire into the law and practice of striking juries in criminal cases in Ireland , and especially into the facts connected with the striking of the juries in the late cases of the Queen against W . S . O'Brien , Esq ., M . P ., Thomas Meagher , and John Mitchel . The hon . gentleman contended that the trial of John Mitchel was a gross departure from the due administration of justice in striking from the panel eighteen Roman Catholics , ten _ of whom were not connected with any political association in Ireland . On the day of the trial , out of 158 that were summoned only seventy-one answered to their names .

      and of these the Attorney-General unceremoniously struck thirty-nine ont , of which eighteen were Roman Catholics . He wished to know what law cave the Attorney-General for Ireland the power of impanelling a jury according to his own dictation , and removing from the jury Ust at pleasure those he thought proper ! The case was one of serious suspicion , and could lead all thinking men to but one conclusion , that the jury had been most unfairly md unjustly struck , tbat the administration of the law had been tampered with in such a manner that it became a gross violation of the constitution . Had the Roman Catholics who had been set aside by tho Attorney-General teen violent partisans he ( Mr

      Keogh ) should have had nothing to complain of , but he had shown they were anything but partisans , and therefore the insult was tbe greater to them . He concluded with a severe attack on the government for having done nothing for Ireland but pass Coercion Bills , and with having fa llen into theerrors which they were so ready to point out in others , and going much deeper into those mistakes than thsir predecessors . When Lord J . Russell was out of office , he had no ideas but those for comprehensive schemes for the benefit of Ireland , and now , when he came into office , all hej had done was to pass two Coercion Bills , aid to-morrow ( this day ) he would propose another , and in order to lay the foundation for a permanentpeace in

      Ireland-Sir G . Geet opposed the motion , and justified the manner in which the jury had been composed , as being ia accordance with the usual practice in such cases . After a Ions discussion , the house adjourned .

      THE IRISH MOVEMENT IN AMERICA . Philadelphia , July 5 . —Another Irish sympathy meeting was held a few evenings since in this oity . It was called to order by Rbt . Tyler—Francis Tiernan , chairman ; W . H . Dunn and J . B . Colahau , secretaries . But few speeches were made , as the object of tbe gathering was simply to receive contributions . On Monday there was a second meeting en Bergen Hill , South Brooklyn , the' Irish Brigade' attending . Mr Develin , of Montreal , Canada , presided . He said , in Canada , our ( Irish ) argument hencefosth must be the cannon , the musket , and the pike . ' ( Cheers , and cries of The pike , the pike . ' ) Mr Mooney and Mr O'Connor spoke . A number of

      children were brought forward , who contributed , and the meeting went in procession to the Astor House , New York , where , it was understood , the brother of Mitchel , who had been transported to the Bermudas , had arrived , in the royal mail steamer , Britannia . On the same evening a meeeting of the Brooklyn Republican Society of the Friends of Ireland met at Freeman ' s Uall . An address and resolutions of condolence were voted to Mrs Mitchel , and a resolution tendering support and protection to Mrs Mitchel , ' in the event of any emergency arising that should induce her to quit her native land . ' On the following nightanother meeting of the same body took place at Brooklyn . Mr Develin , of Montreal ,

      said that the Irish in Canada were determined to throw off British tyranny as well aa to succour Ireland . Mr O'Connor said that some of the Irish Brigaae had gone to Ireland already , and that more would follow . ' They were ready to go and fight the battles of Ireland . He was himself about to start through the Union , and also to Canada , to see what could be done for Ireland . It was stated at this meeting that Mr Mitchel ' a brother ( now at the Astorhouse , New York ) , would not make hia appearance in public for some days . There was also a meeting at the same time , in the upper part of the city of New York . We observe that at a recent Irish meeting in New Orleans , 540 dollars were collected .

      A meeting of the New York Irish Republicans assembled at the Shakespeare , on Wednesday evening last . The New Yorkers describe Mr Mitchel ' a brother as an amiable young man , and some of the papers say that he viaita that country on important business connected with Ireland , the promulgation of whieh is not at present advisable . But others say , and declare that they say so on good authority , that he means to buy a farm for his brother John Mitchel , whom ( they add ) the British government will release from Bermuda , on condition that he will remain permanently in the United States , and agree not to retnrn to Ireland . Such are the on dits of the day . A Society of the Friends of Ireland' was formed at Reading , Pennsylvania , a few evenings since . Most of the speakers at the meeting , convened for the purpose , were from Philadelphia .

      Ono of the New York papers states that a deputation from the Irish Republican Union of New York sailed from Boston for Ireland in the steam ship , ' on Wednesday last . On Friday last the New York Express published an editorial article , nearly a column in length , on tbe subject of the ' Irish Brigade , ' in which it is stated that portions of the Irish Brigade are going forward , and the interposition of the United States government is called for , as being actually necessary under the circumstances .

      PUBLIC MEETING TO- SYMPATHISE WITH SUE CKAHMStS . A meeting of quite a different character was held in this city on Saturday evening , at the Cinese Museum ; being convened for the purpose of encouraging the Chartists of Great Britain to achieve the liberties of the British people . Robert Tyler was called to the chair . The speakers and officers were mostly Americans . Various resolutions were agreed to > n conformity with the object of tho meeting . It was then resolved to publish the proceedings , and forward them to tho ' Chartist Executive Gem . mittee' in England .

      postscript . Another Irish meeting waa held at the large space near Broadway , New York , which was formerly Niblo ' s garden . Pbtladblphtai July 5 th . —Tho meeting was very numerously attended—all Irishmen , or nearly so . Robert Emmett was chairman , and the speakers were himself , Mr Mitchel ( brother of John Mitchel , now at Bermuda ) , Mr Robinson , Mr Mooney , and others . The only points of novelty were in the speech of Mr Mitchel . He said , ' the freedom of Ireland is as inevitable as the next equinox . ' Also , ' the freedom ot Ireland will be obtained soon alter the harvest ! ' And he added , that although parties in Ireland were divided between moral and physical force men , yet that both were agreed and unanimous in their intentions to strike a blow for Ireland .

      ( From the American Sun , of Jaly Sth . ) THE IRISH KEPBBLICAN UNION , According to previous announcement , held yesterday evening , on Mitchel ' s-green , Williamsburg , one of the most numerous , respectable , enthusiastic , and thoroughly determined meetings we have yet seen assembled in behalf of oppressed and downtrodden Ireland , and of the national and civil rights of her people . A goodly number of young Irish volunteers , armed with musket and biyonet , with an effective band , headed the procession down to the Williamsburg Ferry , and thence to the place of meeting . Beside the usual pike carried by the voluntears , they displayed , on this occasion , a splendid new flag , in which were combined the ' stars and stripes , of the American free-floating banner , with an emblem of tha Sun under which Borome had freed his country of the Danish yoke .

      Major Patrick Short was moved to the chair by Mr Mooney , who said that the present meeting was called not for speaking purposes , but for fighting . The people of Ireland had long enough adhered to mora ! force principles , to agitation , to expostulations with the English government ; and that meeting was there assembled to vow before high Heaven that Ireland , the land of their forefathers , should and must be free . This was a day full of insnirine thoughts to the lovers of true freedom ; and now that Ireland's struggle was to come on ero three months it waa the duty of Ireland ' s friends to rush to her assistance . Mr O'Connor waa loudly called for by the meetine and addressed it in a brief and spirited speech in which he stated , that 144 brave fellows had already gone to Ireland , and as soon as they could raise 5 000 men , they had the brave General Shields , who fought and bled in Mexico , to stand at their head

      Subscriptions began to be taken in at this stage of the proceedings ; and the rapidity and numbers with which the dollars came in was really astonishing Many of the fair sex showed their feeling and love of liberty , by handing in liberal contributions in thenown persons , or by proxy . It was truly affecting to see what numbers of poor labouring metfeame , with unsophisticated enthusiasm , to contribute their dollars out of their hard and sun-scorched earnings If the mind which animates bone and sinew ot Irishmen at home , had jnst one year ' s tutorage on the free soil , " and in the liberty-inspiring principles of our great Republic it would gather a rigour and a firmness that would strike off Ireland ' s chains in ono short mon ' ib .

      The meeting was afterwards addressed by Dr McCarron , brother in-law to Mr Duffy , of the Dublin Ration paper , and just come over from Ireland . Dr McOarron's speech was strongly impassioned , deeplv poetic , and generously patriotic . II 8 spoke in hmh terms of the North Presbyterians in Ireland ; and

      Bhowed , that from them Bprung Ireland a best patriots , Emmett was one , Mitchel was one ; and fa Mitchel ' s wrong , the English government had evoked the strong , indignant spirit of his fellow Presbyterians . Mr M'Cartut , an American citizen , also addressed the meeting in a vigorous speech , which was loudly cheered . As a citizan of the free American Republic , he said , he was vio ' ating no principle of the constitution , by raising his voice in behalf of freedom in any part of the world . . , ,. .

      Mr Thompson , another American , also addressed the meeting in a neat and appropriate speech . He wished he had a hundred voices and a hundred hands to use in Ireland ' s cause ; und he earnestly impressed upon their friends the necessity of striking the blow home , when they did strike . A declaration was read by Mr Mooney , relative to Ireland ' s position previously to English rule , ond what she would become after her freedom was effected . This declaration every volunteer would sign on board tho chip when leaving for Ireland ' s

      rescue . A committee was appointed to superintend the movement in Williamsburgh .

      Roial Polytechnic Institution.—On Thursd...

      Roial Polytechnic Institution . —On Thursday we visited this mestexcelleat establishment , and we uniformly feel much pleasure / and derive a portion of information on each successive visit . The exterior apartments , theatres , and galleries , of thia place continue to be crowded all day long . A succession of extensive entertainments are provided , and every part of this building is filled with curiosities , works of art and manufacture , affording all sorts of amusement and information . The visitors are enabled to view various works of art which are carried on here ; modelling and sculptures by Mr Rivers , who has several beautiful statuettes and busts , and Mr J . C .

      Rivers exhibits numerous specimens of oil painting , some of which have been painted in the institution . Gem and seal engraving is also executed here by Mr Gilford , with great skill and rapidity ; glass spinning and blowing , < feo ., & a . The contents of this gallery are indeed extremely varied , and many hours may be very profitably spent within the walla at any time , in addition to all this , the visitors are rewarded by the sight of some most beautiful dissolving views , accompanied by appropriate music by the orchestra of the establishment , conducted by Dr Wallis , D . M . ; jshromatrope , physiofiope and microscope , ^ combining altogether a treat which no other establishment possesses in the metropolis .

      A poor woman , named Ann Davia , who drowned herself on Thursday week last , in Manchester , was fonnd oa Sunday last , in a large tub of water behind the house , quite dead . The desperate determination of the woman may be conceived , when it is stated that she had to climb nearly twenty feet to get to the water , and as she waa a tall person , and the tub not more than four feet six inches , she had to force herself into a stooping position , and to remain in that state till death ensued . Dobb , the portrait painter , says that everything should be in character . For instance , search warrants should be printed on ' tracing paper , ' and wedding notes on ' fools-cap ' It appears from an official report that the expense of taking up the matting every morning at the House of Commons , cornea to £ 800 per annum .

      Mr Ernest Jones. [In The Report Of The T...

      MR ERNEST JONES . [ In the report of the trial af Mr Ernest Jonea in last Saturday's Stab , the conclusion of Sergeant Wilkins ' a speech waa unavoidably abridged . We now give that portion of tho speech in full . The following should take the place of the last twenty-two lines of the speech as given in our last . ] I now come to that part of my learned friend's speech whew he talks of the dispensations of Providence , and I cannot but think that we somehow ascribe ti Providence those evils which ought to be attributed to our own imperfect institutions . I cannot but think that we frequently make use of the phrase dispensations of Providence for cur own convenience , and to suit our own views . The poor man has been «* r > pumitst mwp «

      told that he is to live by the sweat of his brow—that the hand of the diligent maketh rich — that God oareth for the poor—tbat he will punish those who do not care for the wants of the poor—and the learned Attorney-General gives in hia notion of the necessity for the gradations that at present exist in society , and proves them consistent with these texts from the Bible . I know that there must be gradations in society—I know that order is the first law of nature , and that consequently there must bs gradations ; but the poor man has never felt that the _ law ? of the country were made for those who contributed so materially to the wealth of the country , and he is somewhat startled when he ia told that hia toil is to be unceasing , and that this is owing to the dispensations

      of a wise Providence . Ho says , ' I do not believe it - < I grant that there must be gradations in society , but I deny that that is the difpeneation of Providence that clothes the sinecurist in purple and fine linen , and leaves the hard working poor man to starve at his door . I have yet to hear a better authority than the Attorney- Gsneral ' s , before I believe that this state of things is owing to the dispensations of Providence . I know that there are a thousand ills tbat flesh is heir to , but I hare yet to learn that the poor man must be contented to live upon nothing —that he is not to speak his grievances—when he sees thousands of men clothed in purple , who treat the wants of their fellow men with indifference , and who look with an unpitying eye te the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of their fellow creatures , suffering from want , and starving around them ' I find . ' tbe poor man saysi to himself the sinecurist

      nobleman getting £ 10 , 000 a year , frem an office with which he never troubles himself . I find the old dowager aunt of another statesman riding in her carriage , and drawing her large annual income from tho national resources to which she has never contributed . I find right reverend fathers in God revellin ? in luxuries at the expense of the working man , and yet preaching to the world that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven . I find these right reverend fathers living in palaces , and , melancholy contrast , surrounded by misery , disease , and destitution . ' Is it to be wondered at , that the poor man should say , ' 1 find your expenses are too great , and tbat my means of existence are too small , it is , therefore , necessary that this should be amended . ' You speak of the dispensations of Providence . I deny that a wise Providence intended that the poor man should be made to

      bear The oppressor ' s wrong , the proud man ' s contumely . Oh , if those who live in high places would but aacertain tho miseries of their suffering fellow-men , and spare from their abundance to those who require it ! Oh , if they would but yield to the prayer of those who seek but a portion of the advantages that God hath given to his creatures , then would disaffection be dispelled and agitation and excitement cease ! But at present the advantages of fortune are not fairly distributed , for while the few are sated with luxuries the many have not sufficient to eat , and thousands , many thousands , are living upon offal that the very brutes reject . Do not tell these men that this is owing to the dispensations of Providence ,

      for be assured they will not believe you . They feel that it is a bitter mockery , and an insult to tell them so , and they remember it against those who refuse to aid them in their hour of trouble . The defendant tells them that , ' there shall be no peace in the country as long as I for one humble individual can prevent it , until the poor man bas his rights , and the rich man has his nose brought to the grindstone . ' He does not mean shooting , and violence , and dia order . When he speaks of the rich man ' s nose being brought to the grindstone , he makes use of a figure of speech , meaning only that he will be compelled to pay towards the support of his fellow countrymen in a greater degree _ that he does at present . He tells them not to believe the Pjsfatch , which asserted that he was a Tory ten years ago , and he adds , that be ' has about hia person the bayonet wounds of the King of Hanover's soldiers . '

      Gentlemen , the King of Hanover is sufficiently unpopular , and I do not wish to say one word more about him . ' Well , there again is Cobden , who tells you that demagogues are going about disturbing and breaking into the middle-class movement . ' Why was this introduced into the indictment ? What has Cobden to do with his movements , and what does he mean by the use of the word' demagogues V Daes he mean men who go about the country , disseminating certain opinions by means of lectures and public addresses ? If so , then are Mr Cobden and his supporters demagogues . ' He says in his letter to the Daily News that tbe individuals who go about disturbing these meetings have got the wages of despotism in their pockets . Ask Mr Cobden where are the £ 70 , 000 that were given to him ? Well now , I think this was a fair Roland for Mr Cobden ' s Oliver . Now I

      cannot understand why in the cases of some of the other defendant * , some of the more important passages were left out , although the meaning of the whole speech was to be gathered from them , while here passages are introduced which are of no use for the purposes of sustaining the charges at all . There can bs no sedition in all this . Ernest Jones is not arraigned for treason against Cobden , or sedition against the League . I shall not read the succeeding passages , aa they are not material to the charge . The defendant proceeds to illustrate his principles by the story of the farmer , whose field was overrun with thistles . * He wished to destroy the thistles , and what did he do ? He cut off tbe tops of them , and the thistles sprouted up more luxuriantly than ever ;

      but there came another farmer , and that man was a Chartist . ' He was a radical reformer , and he said , do not keep on cutting and cropping them , but root them up . ' The middle classes are cutting the tops off the thistles , and they will sprout more luxuriantly than ever . I want you to take the spade and the hoe to them , and to root up the noxious weed altogether ; when you destroy it it never comes again . ' ' Come up in your classes , —come up in your wards , — give them such a display as they never had before . Give them , at least , another Kensington , but not en Kennington Common . ' The Attorney-General in talking of this meeting at Kennington , spoke as if Jenes desired to renew the disturbances that had occurred on that occasion . But these disturbances

      were not occasioned by Chartiate , but by those gentlemen who ( do not know much difference between mine and tbine , —in short , by thieves . ' I trust that much may be done between this and the 12 th , and no doubt on the 12 th your movement will make another advance again . ' Now this meeting on the 12 th , whieh the Times described as one great picnic of the police , certainly appears , from what I can read of it , to have been one of the most imposing sights overseen . 'Now that I am going , shall I tell the men of Bradford , —shall I tell the men of Halifax who acted so gloriously and who acted so gallantly , —shall I tell the' men of Manchester , —shall I tell the men of York , —shall I tell the men of Leeds , —shall I tell the men of the West Riding , — them that London is determined to do its duty because recollect they aro looking to the

      metropolis . In what state wa * the metropolis then * They were looking to you for an example ? What was that example ? He says in bis speech : ' I mast go down to those places which are excited . They are looking to you for an example . You are tranquil . ' ' You are therefore free to furnish an examole of tranquillity . ' I verily believe that not a single blow need be struck for liberty in this country . I believe that in Ireland it must be struck , and what is more I believe that in Ireland it will be struck . ' Now what does he mean by that ? Not that he advocates the striking of the blow in Ireland , but that things are in such a state that a blow must be struck and that belief , gentlemen , in common to many ! ' But whatever may be the consequence , organise ' organise ! organise ! and prepare for everything on % preparation , only organisation is wanted , and

      tne green nag shall noat over Uowning-street and St Stephen ' s ; only energy is wanted , only deterntination , and what w ) 1 be the result ? Why that John Mitchel and John Frost will be brought back , and Sir George Grey and Lord John Russell will be sent to change places with them . ' Now , gentlemen , that is the whole of the speech , and it wmds up with a very foolish and srsnii ? ss ^ M tako int ° ° the tact that the right of public speaking , is the safety valve o the constitution . I think y ou w 11 not feel disposed inconsequence of anything said b , the defendant , to jeopardise by Your verdior hit L \ tl is one of our greatest privileges , th 6 rLht nf f ? discussion The learned counsel hen & fed S he concluding remarks of Sharp , and then con « - Now , gentlemen , I havaj on thwuS .

      Mr Ernest Jones. [In The Report Of The T...

      submit to you that there is an absence of everything to make this an unlawful assembly . Gentlemen , I will be followed by the first Crown lawyerof the dayby one of great experience , ef great intellect , and he will pardon me if I say , who haa introduced a great deal of personal feeling into this public accusation ; perhaps unconsciously to himself , but still not less the fact . At ( he time he was speaking of Jones , his every look , and word , and gesture showed that his feelings were embarked in this accusation . After him I will be followed by one—and God forbid that I should say one word against him—I will be followed by oae who will bring his master mind to bear on the various points submitted to your attention . I do not know how that master mind may be inclined in this cose , an hrait to vou that there is an absence of every thine

      but if he goes against me , then , indeed , is my case hopeless . Gentlemen , 1 leave this to your consideration . Remember that thia is not merely the case of Ernest Jones against the Crown , but a case that involves the privileges , the rights , and liberties ot us all . It involves the right of public discussion so dear te us all ; it involves the right of criticising and examining the actions and tho principles of public men . Preserve then—oh ! preserve—that privilege entire . Preserve it as you value your liberty . Preserve it entire to your children , and your children ' s children . If you value the security of the throne , the integrity of the constitution , the rights you hold most sacred

      and dear to you , for God ' a sake stop , consider , before you consent to waive or to give up any one , the . least , of your privileges . ' My lord may address you—in what is called the summing up—in opposition to the opinions I have taken . Remember that although this is called a summing up , it is in fact the energies of ft great and acute mind—unconscious to itself—seeking to carry out its own convictions and its own views . Do you pause—do you consider—and if there be twe or three persons in that jury-box unconvinced by the reasoning of the Attoraej-General , then does yonr country demand of these two or three that they find Ernest Jones not guilty of ( lie charges alleged against him .

      Arrest Of Dr M'Douall. (From The Daily N...

      ARREST OF DR M'DOUALL . ( From the Daily News . ) Dr M'Douall , the Chartist , and lately a member of the National Convention , was apprehended during Sunday night at his lodgings , the Odd Fellows * Arms public-house , Ashton-under-Lyne , on a charge of unlawful assembling , sedition , and riot . The time of bis apprehension was several hours after midnight , and a reseue having been talked of , he was taken to the Town-Hall , under an escort of police and military , and a military guard was placed before the Town-hall . On Monday he was brought for examination before the magistrates , when thfr court was crowded with people , and the large open space in front of it was also filled with working men

      but all appeared to be peaceable , The witnesses were policemen , and the tenor of their evidence was that a gathering took place on the previous Monday night at the Charlestown Chapel , Ashton , when M'Doua'l delivered a lecture , from which all reporters and policemen were excluded , and tbat after the meeting was over , M'Douall headed a procession to the Odd Fellows' Arms , from a front window of which he addressed lils followers , urging thera to arms , and inciting them to acts of violence . The witness said guns were afterwards discharged , but behind the house , After the evidence of several policemen had been given as to what M'Douall had uttered , Mr Newton , deputy-constable of Ashton

      produced the placard calling the meeting in the Charlestown Meeting House . In consequence of the placard he thought it his duty to attend the meeting . Had been to the chapel before , and was not prevented . It said , ' admission , one penny . ' He did not offer money , because they did not allow him to enter so far as where the money was taken . The meeting purported to be a lecture . They prevented his entrance by force , and said neither he nor any other constable could go in . He said it was not Mr Newton they refused admission to , but the special constable . ' M'Douall afterwards came , and was allowed to go in , and he attempted after that to po , but was again refused admission .

      Saw no one refused but the constables and a little boy . There have been various other meetings of the Chartists out of doors , but he had not attended any in-door ones . Was of belief the inhabitants were alarmed , and had been told by them if a stop was not put to these meetings , there would be a bad result before long . They had a tendency to induce people to organise and arm themselves . Was also told last light that if ' we had gone to the meeting , we should certainly have lost our lives . ' He apprehended the prisoner this morning , and showed him the warrant produced , charging him with unlawful assembling , sedition , and , riot . Read it over to him afterwards at the office , He said the

      warrant was illegal , on account of erasures and alterations , and insisted that it should be pro duced in the same state , and it was . Amongst the articles taken from his pocket was a pocket-book . There are dates which start with Manchester , July 2 ;' it bas the names of twenty towns ; it appears to be a list of engagements , partly fulfilled and partly to be fulfilled . There was a song from the Irish Felon in it . There were no love letters ; Mr M'Douall told him which were love letters , and those were returned . Among the letters was one dated ' Thomasstreet , Bradford , July 14 , ' which said that a person named William Bateman had been apprehended ; that —bad been a drill-master , to whom they

      had given money to keep away , but he had delivered himself up . There were other letters also . Crossexamined by Mr Roberts : —Went to the chapel to hear the lecture . Went for the purpose of giving evidence if he heard anything seditious . Sent his officers for the same purpose . Supposed he was not admitted because the parties did not like it . Was not bound to answer the question when the information on which the prisoner was taken was laid . The warrant was placed in his hands on Saturday . — Re-examined : Recollected a meeting sometime since to appoint a deputy to the National Convention , and M'Douall was appointed . Had net seen

      him attend any other meeting since till the present . By Mr Roberts-.-The fear of the inhabitants : was not only against out-door meetings but secret indoor meetings . Had heard there were several hundred pikes produced . One person was pricked , and it was thought it would have been fata ! . —By the Mayor : Had never been refused to attend publichouse meetings , but bad been told that he would be in future . This concluded the case , and Mr Roberts the attorney who had cross-examined the witnesses ' said M'Douall himself would ad ress the magistrates ! M'Douall then spoke for upwards of half-an-hour , denying that he had urged violence , but said he had expressly cautioned the people against it .

      The witnesses for the defencecontradictedin general terms the evidence for the prosecution , so far as the language of the prisoner was said to be violent and seditious . The witnesses were poor working men , and they admitted that many of the sentences taken down by the police were like , or something like , what was said . He had told them to organise in classes , like the methodists , but they denied that he said anything about drilling , or practising the same drill as the enemy . —The magistrates , after a short consultation , decided to commit M'Douall for trial , at the Liverpool Assizes , for sedition , unlawful assemblages , and rioting . -M'Douall asked if bail would be accepted , and the mayorsaidtwo sureties of £ 150 each , and Ins own in . i" $ 00 , would be taken , Four bondmen for £ 75 each were afterwards tendered , and their bail accepted . The prisoner , however , was

      cautioned that if he addressed the out-door meeting which it was reported be had promised to attend that evening in the event of being set at liberty , he wou d forfeit his bail , n case of a breach of the peace resul . ng .-M'Douall asked ii he might address the people outside , and request them to go quie tv hule The magistrates declined to take the JesponsiStv of advis . ng liimauy way .-On appearing oEe ' he hall , on the steps , he was recognised !
