Examination And Committal Of The Prisone...
EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS .
Bow-Wreet, Thursday, August 31.—The Pers...
_Bow-wreet , Thursday , August 31 . —The persons accused ou the evidence of Powell , the informer , were brought up before Mr Hall and Mr Henry for re-examination . Mr ClarhBon again attended for tbe prosecution , assisted by Mr Reynolds , Joint Solicitor of the Treasury ; Mr Pwry , on behalf of _Greensladeand Barn ; Mr Konealey for four of the other prisoners ; and Mr Macnamara for the rest . By consent of Mr Clarkson , the prisoner Stone was discharged . ta
_rrevioasiy tne wnoie ot the prisoners being placed at the bar , evidence was Riven as to tha residences of Ritchie , Morgan , and Poole . Mr Clarkson then requested that the following prisoners , found at the Oran & e Tree , bo placed at the bar : —Joseph Ritchie , Alfred Abe ) , William Gurney , John Shepherd , _Jaraes Snowball , James Richardson , George _Greenshde , Henry Small , Edward Scadding , William Burn , Philip Martin , William Laoy , Dawling , William Fay , and William Cuffay—in all fifteen person ? . Mr Clarkson said , as the eridenoe hid already been giren at some length , and he had no other to produce , he a « ked that the prisoners at the bar be committed under the act 11 Vic , c . 12 . sec . 1 , for feloniously compassing the levying of war against the Queen . Mr Parry , on behalf of Greenslade and Burn , applied tbat they be discharged , or held to moderate bail . He could not , perhaps , ask their discbarge , because they were found at tho Orange Tree ; but they were entitled to bail , because no arms were found upon them . Although they were Chartists , they would repudiate enforcing _tfaofe sentiments by anything like physical force . Mr Kenealy wished the _evidence read over , so far as it applied to the fonr prisoners for whom he appeared , he not having been present on the former _ItnAADlAfl 4
VVVUCUHI Mr Hall briefly recapitulated the evidence which bad been deposed against them . He bad no evidence that they were present at the meeting of tbe 15 tb , although they had all attended on the evening of the 16 tb . Mr Hall said , he should certainly read the whole of the prisoners before a jury of the country . He had paid most anxious attention to the whole of the evidence , and his duty was perfectly clear . Mr Kenealey submitted that there was no evidence against the four prisoners on whose hefca'f he appeared , except that of the approver Powell , and whose evidence was of a very suspicious and doubtful character , which no one could believe . Mr Hall could not possibly alter his determination : the weight that was to be giren to a particular witness was alone for tbe determination of a jury , and not for his decision . The magnitude of the offence , and tbe probability that a bailed prioner would not appear to take his trial , were con . _eiderations that aught to induce a magistrate not so take bail for such a serious case as had been brought before him , and in which opinion his colleague , Mr Henry , fully ooinoided . He must , therefore , send all the prisoners to take their trial without distinction . The witnesses in this case were then all severally bound over in the sum of £ 100 eaoh to appear at the next session of the Central Criminal Court , to give evidence against the prisoners at the bar . The fifteen prisoners were then fully committed to Neweate .
Charles Taylor , George Cox , William Poole , Charles Gibb 3 , Thotsai Herbert , William _Winspear , Thomas Irons , James Prowten , Hugh Conway , Alex . Harvey , J . J . Norton , Samuel Hardy , and Samuel Morgan , were then placed at the bar—thirteen in all . The above-named prisoners were arrested in Webber-street , at the Angel public house . Mr Hall fully committed the _prisoners to Newgate for trial , for the same offence as that for which the preceding class of prisoners had been sent to Newgate . Charles Young , Tbomas Jones , and Henry Argus , were then placed at the bar ; and after the deposi * tions had been read over , which related to the occurrences at the Charter coffee-house , _^ Mr Hall also committed these three persons to Newgate for trial , and the witnesses were bound over . Upon the application of Mr Macnamara , Mr Hall consented that the wives or sisters of the prisoners should be permitted to visit them previously to their removal from the station-bouse to Newgate . The total number committed for trial are thirty .

REM ' . VAL OP THB CHARTIST PRH 0 NBRS TO _MEWOATJ . ( From the Sun . ) At a quarter past four o ' clock on Thursday afternoon the Chartist prisoners committed to-day for trial , at _Bow-Btreet , were removed to Neweate . For nearly an hour before the time of tbeir removal tbe police prevented all except the most _respeotably attired _personsfrom passing along tbe _Btreet . Nearly 200 constables were occupied in discharging this duty . In passing along our reporter stood for a few moments in the midst of the solitude created in Bow-Btreet , for trade and traffic were for more than an hour allbat suspended opposite the court , taking _, however , the precaution to place himself in a door ' _way-whilstin this position an impertinent officer , named Inspector Dodd . an unfit person to hold such an office , ordered bim m the must _uncourteoug terms o be off . He told him that he waa connected _wHh the press and was thereas areporter . < I _dnn't _„„™ »
replied _tniaimpertinentofhcer , ' you must be oft " Mr Dodd seemed _deai-ous of getting up a row instead of wishing to quell it if one had arisen .

The Past. There Was A Time When England ...
THE PAST . There was a time when England and England ' s Constitution was the envy and admiration of surrounding nations - — when her strength / rallied to the cry of 'The Church is in danger , " flocked round the ' standard of protection . In those good old times interest was individualised—character was centralised—and if the feudal lord had privileges , he possessed them upon the condition that the duties consequent thereon should be administered . The employer of some scute of handloom weavers ,
operatives , mechanics , or artificers , constituted but one of the body , and this small section constituting a portion ef th e great whole , recognised the indefeasible rights of its several parts . If trade was good , the master was as dependent upon the hands as the hands were upon the pocket , as every hand contributed its share towards the profit of the speculator . And so far did the law recognise this sacred social system , that the unemployed , instead of becoming a degraded pauper , imprisoned in a bastile , was himself furnished with raw material , which is capital , for the most '
profitable application of his own labour . He was well housed—well clad—and well fed , and if not indulging in those scenes of dissipation from the proceeds of which his present rulers are enabled to maintain their sway , he partook of the more simple and wholesome fare which conduced to his health , his comfort , and equality . He lived upon the side of the common—he drank the milk fresh from his own cow and ate the vegetables fresh from his own garden—while he plied the loom his wife
attended to his children ; they were brought up under the fostering eye of the parent , and the parent was answerable to society for the character and conduct of his offspring . And if what is called civilisation—as manifest in Athenaeums , coffee houses , reading rooms , gin palaces , sick , benefit , and burial societies } and brothels—is urged as proof of the improvement of the working classes ,, we appeal to the present state of disaffection , dissatisfaction , _immeralitv and strife for the solution .
Then the working classes honoured the king and all that were placed in authority un derhim , because authority was their safeguard , and not their tormentor . The parson was the pious minister who lived humbly and prayed fervently , that God may preserve the fruits of the earth , so as in due time his flock might enjoy them . England did not then look to foreign countries for the means of subsistence . This , we may be told , was because the population was more slender ; but the population of those days , compared with the breadth of land then cultivated , and the rudeness of agriculture , was larger in proportion than the population
of our time , having the advantage of extensive agricultural improvements . None then could . unfairly speculate in the labour of the workman , because society was individualised , and the employer , instead of dictating terms to his hands , was but one of the twenty-one . Then they were not only not dependent upon the foreigner for their daily supply of food , but the speculator in that food was punished as a criminal for regrating , monopolising , or forestalling . In those palmy days of universal protection , the speculator dared not rig the market by forestalling its produce , and thus ,
having become the monopolist of abundance , cre _? te scarcity by becoming the retailer of produce purchased wholesale . In those days it was no disgrace for the master to consort with the labourer . In those days the serf , as he was called , received protection from the lord to whom his service was rendered . We had few doctors , few apothecaries , fe _« w dissenters , few lawyers , no bankers , no pawnbrokers , no gin palaces—because we had honest speculation , fair competition , and no crime . Then England , with her scant y ' population , could not only defy the world in
arms at home , but could take vengeance abroad upon those who dared to assail her prerogative . In those days , if casualty , famine , or surprise came upon her , and if her Exchequer was inadequate to meet the calamity , the ricli suffered equally with the poor , and the principle that " all the stuff in the world was made for all , the folk in the world , " was _acknowledged and carried into practical operation . That disparity between man and man , which must make the Creator blush , was not then carried to the extent to create discord in the human family . Then , every man had an interest in the protection of the institutions of the
The Past. There Was A Time When England ...
country , because every man was the child of the State living under its protection , governed justly by its laws , and participating in its wealth . The Parliament was a representation of the system and the beadle was the administrator of the law . He required hut the law ' s authority to rally all in support of the law , because all then had an interest in the preservation of the law . England was then happy England , merry England—all joining in the Christmas carol , the feast , and the fair—none hurried to
a premature old age , or consigned to a premature grave . Their amusements were innocent —their work was wholesome—their recreation was invigorating—their minds were contented - —their homes were happy—their children were a blessing—their laws were a pridetheir pastor was a benefactor—their constitution was the envy and admiration of surround ing nations—and their lives were at the service of the State , which rendered them protection as an eqHivalen ' t for their allegiance . Such was the Past . Such was England of vore .
The Present. Merciful Providence! Creato...
THE PRESENT . Merciful Providence ! Creator of the Universe ! How can we draw the picture without offering you offence ? How can we be so blasphemous as to presume that all is known unto you , and that you tolerate that system which renders its victims unfit to enter into your presence ? . The present system by which this country is governed , not only presents such an anomaly as was never before witnessed , but that toleration of its existence brands its every supporter as a heinous sinner and a criminal . The man who is told to be fruitful , becomes wedded
tothe wife of his choice , and while his children , born in holy wedlock , become a curse , his life ' s blood is sapped to support the children of idlers . He no longer has control over his own labour ; man is no longer individualised ; and , in the aggregate , the poor no otherwise constitute a portion of society than furnishing the means to supply luxuries to the idle . No longer has the honest labourer any , the slightest , control over the value of his own industry . No longer does his own country furnish him with the means of existence . No longer can he barter the produce of his labour for the necessaries
and comforts of life . No longer does he look upon the Parson as the propounder of Religion and Christianity . No longer does he look upon the master as an employer ; he esteems him as a speculator . No longer is he prepared to rally to the cry of , " My Country is in danger , " because his country has disinherited him , and abandoned him to the cupidity , the profligacy , and lust of those who make merchandise of his . destitution . No longer does he receive protection in return for his allegiance , and , therefore , to him monarchy has become a farce , and representation a by-word of contempt .
If he complains , he is a rebel ; if he begs , he is a vagrant ; if he steals , to save his starving family from death , he is a thief ; and if , disgusted with the tyranny to which he is subjected at home , he should seek shelter in some foreign land , he is a praiseworthy adventurer , prepared to mend his fortune by seeking that protection , remuneration , and justice , which his father-land refused to him , though willing to be an obedient and industrious child .
No longer are the laws respected , because they are made by the oppressor , and administered hy brute force . Destitution increases , while the science of agriculture improves , and we become every day more dependent upon the stranger for our food , in short , we are now beggars at the door of the foreigner , because so improvident is our Government , that a night ' s mildew , or a week ' s rain , creates a calamity which the economy and providence of the most careful working man , who is compelled to live from hand to mouth , cannot guard against . We have an expensive Regal
Establishment , an overgrown Army , an unnecessary Navy , a huge Legal Establishment , rendered necessary by the vices of the system ; a gorgeous Church Establ shment , living sumptuously upon the sweat of the poor ; an overwhelming police establishment ; a speculating , crucifying master class ; bankers wallowing in wealth ; shopkeepers starving ; a staff of idlers who receive pay for pandering to the vices of a government ; an incompetent government , a jealous aristocracy , a proud oligarchy , a disunited people , a hired Press , a prejudiced jury class ; prisons full , workhouses full ; an
unemployed people dreading the tender mercies of the bastile , herded together like swine in garrets and cellars ; while the eye is shocked with the pompous show of pampered idlers , and the disgusting sight of sleek fat horses , well caparisoned , drawing gin , whiskey , beer , and porter , past these abodes of wretchedness . Men no longer have the power of estimating the value of their own labour . It is measured by their employers' caprice , and their own destitution ; they are but too happy to receive the poorest modicum of wages for the greatest amount of toil , and if they do not starve silently , without a murmur , they are rebels , traitors , felons , or seditionists ; and , as has
ever been the case with the possessors of power , and with the well-to-do , the contented attach the name of Chartist to the discontented , in the hope of damning the principle by exposing the means resorted to for its achievement . But let us ask , if times were changed , whether the maxim that the more man suffers here below , the greater will be his enjoyment hereafter , wtuld reconcile the present persecutors of the poor to the present sufferings of the poor ? A revolution on the Continent is the signal for domestic coercion , in the hope that the fever may be checked , and that prevention is better than cure . And without taking into consideration the circumstances which have led
to these changes abroad , the Minister of the day says , we will establish a reign of terror at heme , in order that the infection . may not reach our shores . But is he so poor a physician as not to know , that although he may check the disorder , he but tends to increase its virulence ? Is he not aware that no monarch living iu theconfidence of the strongest army , has ever been able successfully to resist the legitimate demands of a united people ? And can he be mad enough to suppose , that a Government living upon the dissensions of opposition , with an empty Exchequer , a bankrupt trading class , a jealous commercial class , a pauperised shopkeeping class , and a famishing working class , can long secure that harmony which is indispensable to the verv existence of society .
We are now upon the eve of an Imh famine . America sympathises with the Irish peopleher sword is fleshed—she is a young nation , proud of her savage conquest of Mexico , and would desire no greater triumph than the humiliation of England . Prussia ' s King is a waiter upon Providence , the crown is tottering upon his head . Austria ' s -Monarch is looking to the intervention of a Monarchy and a Republic for the sustainment of his power . The Pope is invited to the field of battle , or to the surrender of St Peter ' s chair . The Czar-of Russia is obliged to exhibit all his military force to secure obedience to his will , Our Indian possessions are of doubtful tenure . All the minor States of Europe are in a state of
convulsion , waiting the result of the French Revolution , which has not yet arrived . America looks with a _jeahus eye upon Canada ; Ireland is in a state of incipient rebellion ; and can any man be so blind or ignorant as to presume that , however the folly and indiscretion of a few may furnish a _pretext for severity and oppression , the many will much longer tolerate a system which has paralysed industry , shaken confidence , destroyed trade—a system whose strength is represented in increased power to maintain it , while those who furnish the means are becoming daily pauperised _, lhis is the Present , the security of which is a problem , the solution of which we must leave to the Future .
Ihe Future
IHE FUTURE
In Most Cases The Future Is Based Upon P...
In most cases the future is based upon past experience , but if we are to draw our conclusions of the present from the past , we should entertain but gloomy anticipations for the future . "We have heard promises and been buoyed up by pledges , we have heard confessions of delinquency and protestations of amendment , but we have learned to draw the distinction between the professions of those seeking power , and the acts of those possessing power . And this fact destroys all confidencein parties who delude the people by bidding foi- thtir confidence , upon the pledge that they will realise their anticipations ; but it does not destroy our hope in the people ' s own resolu _.
tion , which must henceforth confirm them in the belief , that if their work is to be done , it must be done by themselves . To guess critically at the future by the past or the present , would be a labour of no small difficulty , but we do predict that the time will arrive—and that at no distant period—when the tyranny of the oppressor will be avenged upon his own head ; when the people , in their moral majesty and might , will rise superior ta all those difficulties which now surround them _,, and of which they themselves are the sole originators . It is puling—it is childish—it is cowardly—for insulted millions to waste their energies in declamation and denunciation of the insulting few , whose very rule and authority is , ef itself , prima facie evidence of the acquiescence of the people .
vv hen trade is good political agitation is a farce , and when a reverse jumps upon a people living from hand to mouth , they exclaim , " We are ready , lead us on . " It is not so with the combined and united few , who in times of prosperity and adversity look to union , and to union alone , as a means of preserving power . When has there been any opposition to the > most reckless expenditure in . seasons of flourishing trade ? while all who believe that prevention is better than cure , must admit the difficulty of forcing economy upon a Government , in times of depression , when they stand ; most in need of ' servile support , and when that servile support can be only secured by the
continuance of the pensions of idle pauperswho have been created in the days of prosperity , and who , however the people may suffer , cannot be repulsed or dismissed in the days of adversity . No I The rule is this ; when you have an Exchequer filled—a portion of which should constitute a surplus—a Savings Bank , and a Sinking Fund—the future is then meal sured by the present , querulous opponents are pensioned upon the surplus ; but when adversity , comes , the bees who have filled the hive are driven out by the drones , and the drones are fed out of the reduced Exchequer , lest their buzz should disturb the harmony in the hive .
Howbeit , we look to a time when the past and present will only be known as a nursery tale ; when the English will have their Saxoa tales / partaking of tbe romance of the Arabian Nights ; when the children will crowd round the nurse ; when past history will be an old almanac , and when the youthful blood will recoil at the narrative of our times . We think we see the little group nestling round the nurse , asking her to tell them a story , and we think we hear the nurse gratifying their curiosity , thus : —
'Well , my dears , once upon a time there were a set of men they called Whigs , and in those days a great many of the poor people were dressed in red coats , and were called soldiers , and they had guns and bayonets ; and if the poor people complained they shot them . ' ' Dear me , nurse , what do you mean ? You don't mean to say that they killed them ?'c Yes , my child , they killed them . ' 'Oh dear ! for what , nurse ?'— For asking for bread while * their little children were starving . '
' Well , but , nurse , _duln t you tell us the other night that there was a place long aga where the poor people could _go to and get food ?' - — ' I did , my dear ; but then the poor didn't like it , because their little children were taken away from their papas and mammas , and they cried , and were very unhappy . ' ' Well , but couldn ' t they stay at home and work ?'— _> o , my dear , they could ' nt get work . '
• Oh , nurse , how papa and mamma would fret if Fred , and Jane , and I , and all of us were taken away from them ; and did the people then love their children as papa and mamma love us ?'— 'Yes , my child , they loved them when they were allowed to support them ; but you know when papas and mammas hear children crying for food , it makes them
very cross . 'Dear me , nurse , what horrible people those Whigs must be ; but go on , nurse ?' Well , my dear , there were what they called policeman , with great thick sticks , that used to go amongst the poor people that were hungry and complained , and beat and killed them , and then left the poor little children orphans . And in those days they had what they called ' detectives , ' dressed like gentlemen , and going amongst the poor to make them say and dobad things , and then they'd go and tell of them , and they would be transported . ' * What ' s that , nurse _?'—• ' Sent away in ships to foreign countries . '
Oh dear me , nurso . were there no parsonsthen to take care of the poor ?'— _< Yes , my child but in those days all the parsons were made by Government , and they were very bad men , and the people had to pay them , and they didn't like them . ' ' Well , but nurse , how could those ' , parsons go to heaven ?'— ' Oh , my child , I suppose they repented . ' _^ , i * _t ' ' Well , go on , nurse . ' ' Then , my dear , in those days if a poor man stole anything—if his children were starving , aud h ' e couldn't get work—he was hanged . ' ¦
Whats that , nurse ?—There was a rope tied round his neck , my dear , and he was hanged until he was dead . ' ' Oh dear me , nurse ! you frighten me so that I shan't be able to sleep . I shall be dreaming of those nasty Whigs all night . Oh ! I think I see one coming down the chimney _? Oh ! I ' m so frightened . ' * Well , I won ' t tell ynu any more , my dear . ' ' Oh yes ; goon , nurse . But , nurse , hadn ' t the poor people land in those days , and how could they be hungry ?'— 'No . my dear ; the rich people took all the land from them . '
' How could that be , nurse ? Didn't God _Aluightr" give the land to the people to live upon , and wasn't God very angry with them ? And did ' nt those "; nasty Whigs ever read the Bible ?'— ' No , my child , they were very naughty men ; and this pretty book that 1 am _telling you the story from , says that in those days the parsons only read 4 some portions of the Bible ?' ' Well , but nurse , how did the poor people live ?'—Why , my child , they worked in places called factories , in great large towns , in great large buildings , with great large fires in them . '
' . Nurse , is that the hell we read about ? And were those all devils ?'— No , my child , you musn ' t talk that way ; they were all made by God as well as yourself , and I dare say they are in Heaven now . ' ' Well , nurse , are the Whigs in Heaven , too ?' — 'I can't tell that , my child . ' ' Well , but nurse , I'd like to know , because if they are , I'd try and not go to Heaven ?'' My dear , you mustn ' t talk that way—that ' s very naughty , and if mamma heard you say that , she would be very angry . '
' Well but , nurse , I can ' t help it , but I ' m sure that if they behaved so bid to the poor , they can ' t be in Heaven . Well but , nurse , when was it that all this ended ? ' ' Why , my child , it was when people called Chartistsvery good men and very religious men , began to feel for the poor—made their appearance _^ and then they destroyed the Whigs . ' Oh dear me , nurse , what nice people these
