      CLASSES . Mt Dear _FriesdIIi think the Times and C _/^ _si _cfenewspap _ers h avetaken the above quotation as the basis of their support of the bloody mahslaug htering hutcher and vagabond Baynau , who unfortunately escaped that just punishment to which he was justly entitled , when , as a foreigner , and introduced by a Jew— a memberof the English Parliamenthe went to "visit the brewery of Messrs . Barclay , _Perkixs , and Co . These , thank God , are the only two papers that justify the barbarity 0 f that blood y ruffian ; and wh y do they do so ? Because they live upon the

      support of factions . The Chronicle of Friday last informs us , that the atrocities perpetrated by thia ferocious ruffian were done by the Imperial order of his monarch . Does not this prove to you that such organs would impress the belief upon the national mind that a man is a mere tool—that Ids feelings , his humanity and character , are the property of his ruler 1 But , thank God , although the brave coalheavers , draymen , carters , and working men of London , have themselves submitted to the tyranny of the Press—thank God , I say , that they did exhibit their English pluck and spirit when the hairy devil , introduced by Baron Rothschild , thus insulted then * country .

      The Chronicle of "Wednesday informs ns , that although Lord ToKRESGioif _. has been dismissed from her Majesiy ' svservice for his cruelty to the Ceylonese , that yet Mr . Ward , formerly Member for Sheffield , and now Governor ofthe Ionian Islands , has been lauded by Earl Gret for the barbarous , brutal , atrocious , and uncalled-for murders , and other cruelties , that he has committed upon manv people who were innocent . And then , the Clironicle tell us that because Lord ToRrisgtos and "Ward , upon their return to their own country , may receive a different reception to that g iven to the Austrian man-eater , that there was no justification for insulting him .

      I have told you before , and I repeat it now , that if flie ministry of this country was to appoint a female butcher , with a salary of ten thousand a year , and if her office was to be , to slaughter any girl , who was exactly five feet three inches high , ( Venus' height , as it is called ) , if she had blue eyes , auburn hair , an aquiline nose , lovely features , and majestic _figure , we should have manv noble ladies contendingfortheDISTLNGUl _' SHED OFFICE . And what must the reader think—nay , must

      not his very blood boil—when he reflects upon a monster brute ordering modest women to be str ipped naked and flogged to death , perhaps , in the presence of their friends and relatives ? But then those papers tell us that the Hungarians perpetrated similar acts ? Perhaps they did ; but their ' s were acts to -which they were driven , by fury , to seek satisfaction for the more atrocious acts that were committed upon their countrymen and women by the Austrian butcher .

      I am never afraid to speak my sentiments openlv upon such a subject , when I recollect that a countryman of my own had a spit driven through his body , and was roasted alive , and eaten by the loyal subjects of his Majesty George III . ; and when I recollect that another of my countrymen was ridden to death in the streets of _ faas , by a Hessian with his long spurs . Neither the Times , nor the CAronicfe , would reprobate such acts as those , while they apply their columns to the justification of an infernal butcher .

      JJow , many who will read my letter may have never seen me , and may have formed their notion of my character from the Press ; but I now swear , before high heaven , that I would risk my life to save a man—and more especially a woman or a little child—from being tortured to death . Reader , it ia my pride and my glory to say , that I never committed a cruel act in my life , even upon a dumb animal or an insect ; and yet , if I had been at Barclay ' s Brewery when the Austrian blood-sucking badger made his appearance there , I feel confident that I should have risked my life in taking satisfaction for his barbarous atrocities .

      1 shall conclude this portion of my letter by offering my best thanks to the brave Englishmen , for the _manifestion of their courage and their attempt to seek satisfaction for the barbarisms committed upon their fellow-creatures by the Austrian " HYENA . " My friends , I will now give you a clear and nnmistakeable definition of the probity , the honour , the _integrity , and veracitv of the Press . While the " SPECIAL CONSTABLE PRESIDENT" was making his tour in the rural districts of France , the traveller for the Times reported his reception as being

      most enthusiastic , the fact being that the general cry was " Vive la Republique "—a cry which , extraordinary to say , was considered offensive to the ears ofthe PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC . However—unfortunately for the _President and for the Times , but fortunately for the people—when his EXPECTANT MAJESTY visited Cherbourg , a seaport town , the harbour was covered with English yachts , crammed with English noblemen , gentlemen , and sailors , to witness the

      gorgeous reception of his Majesty m embryo ; but , to the great astonishment of the English magnates , and no donbt to his Majesty , the universal cry was " Vive la Republique ! " So it is stated by the Times . But why is it so ? Because the Times knew that , although it could circulate any fabrication of its manufacturing traveller , whether true or false , thatit could not circulate that which thousands of Englishmen would know to be fahe .

      This fellow has been traversing the kingdom with the view of understanding whether it would be safe to step into his uncle ' s boots , and become Emperor of France ; he is , no doubt , in anticipation of the cordial support and co-operation of the Russian Bear ; while I trust that the French people are too brave , too determined , and too resolute , to allow their rights to be destroyed by such a nincompoop . Englishmen ! I wish to prepare your minds

      tor the coming straggle , and rely upon it that the Legitimists and ether parties in France , are using the Special Constable as a mere puppet ; and if England does not assist him when the struggle comes you will see such a conflict between the two countries as England never witnessed before ; and it is for that contest that I wish to prepare you j and let me conclude with the words of

      THE LAND ! THE LAND !! THE LAND !!! TO THE / WORKING _CLASSES . M y Friends , How often h ' avel told yon , that if tlie Land was locked up to day 1 would not give a penny forthe Charter to-morrow ? and to show you that "the folly of to day may he the wisdom of the morrow , " let me call your strictest attention to the following ahle article , extracted from the Weekly Dispatch of last week . Here is the article , and I pray you to read it attentively . By our legislation the . national proportions oi society have been disturbed ; the numbers who produce clothing _having . been increased , and those who produce food reduced . That is an unhealthy , even a dangerous state . We have done our best to expose it We desire to have greater

      reciprocations of home custom and neighbourly exchange . We do not like the bread of millions to hang upon the escape ofthe cotton plant from a morning ' s frost , or the health of worms and mulberry trees , and the absence of rebellions and revolutions in Italy . The equilibrium of industrial productiveness should be restored to nature ' s adjustment . There should he more tillage , more tillers , more sturdy yeomen and independent _freeholders . The right arm of tlie nation is crippled , when the soil and its husbandly are made secondary to spinning shirts ahd weaving petticoats . There is a mine of wealth / in the soil—El Dorado in the spaifo- _^ a perfect California in house feeding . ' Spade husbandry Is n _<> longer a speculation . ' Honest Jack _SiUett preaches . upon it from the text of . experience . Its entire success is a Gbeat Fact of infinite significancy . - He is more than a labourer . He is an archetype of a universal capability . He is the apostle , the model , the living

      testimony and positive proof of the infinitely significant truth , without genius , more than an average intellect , er any that quality except such as is consciously within reach of the attainment of the most ordinary endeavour , an Englishman , by his spade and perseverance , may keep a house over his head , a flitch in the chimney , and a loaf , a lump of bntter , and a cheese in the cupboard , for himself and his family , upon ihe produce of two acres of land , all laboured entirely by himself . He tells us that he was bred a grocer and _drapwat Saxmundatn , in Suffolk . He was afterwards a shopman in London and _Birmingham—and set np as a general shopkeeper in a country village , losing money for s _* x years in tliat pursuit . He was a draper in London for some time , and afterwards carried on business at Kelsale , without any better success . Such were _, an education and habits as much opposed , as it is easy to conceive , to _agricultural pursuits . . No other noviciate than this had he for the apparently desperate

      experiment of buying two acres of land at the large price of £ 125 per acre , equal to £ 6 os . of annual rent , and maintaining a town-bred family hy the spade . "Previous . " observes be , "to my beginning my operation on this _. pfece of land , I had never due a rood of ground before in my life ; indeed , I nas so entirely ignorant of all matters relative to husbandry , ihat I did not even know the various seeds . " lie details honestly and faithfully his whole plan of operation Nothing was done in a corner . Thousands went to see the living incarnation ofa great industrial truth . " The following , " he continues , "is a correct estimate of the produce sold a 6 er family ' s consumption , keeping two cows , fattening one calf and rearing one , and fattening two pigs , besides reserving seeds for next year ' s cropping . The calf tliat I fatted weighed nine stone , of HIbs . to the stone , at seven weeks old , which I had killed in the house , and sold among my friends and neighbours . The price I made of it was 7 d . per pound , or 8 s . 2 d . per stone of 14 lbs .

Here is a plain , persevering , but whoHy-nninitiated man , who , out of two acres of land ' , very highly rented , feeds his whole _tamilr abundantly , pays all outgoings , including heavy house rent , rates and taxes , and nets a profit of £ 51 Is . lOd . per annum . Observe he does not live near a large tonn , he possesses no extraordinary advantages , commands no pet prires ; but is enabled by his own labour on two acres of land to contiibute £ 51 per annum to the _manuiactures and taxation of the country after fully supplying his whole family from the surplus produced .

      Calculating the land of these islands cultivated and cultivable _ats-ixty millions of acres , and given to each family two and a halt times as much us honest John Smelt ' s share , or five acres each , there would be a > _. pie provision for twelve millions cf families or sixty millions of souls , capable of producing a net profit income of £ 612 , 000 , 000 per annum . But if we assume the arrangement of society according to its natural adjustments , and dedicate the industry of half the population to manufactures and commerce , then there would be ten acres for each agricultural familv , and if they netted only as much out of ten as Sillettdoes out of two , they would still have £ 306 , 000 . 000 of a surplus wherewith to become the cmstomers of th _«* ir trading fellow-citizens , and to relieve iliem of the half of the national burthens besides . In such an employment as

      tbis , man _developes his best and hig est faculties , and ef _feclnally castigates his peccant humours and graver vices . From sucb a class would beurawn the noblest constituency in the world—freemen accustomed to habits of self-command andindustry , and trained in the difficult duty of being tiieir own masters . The infinitely precious labours of Mr . Charles Pearson , late member for Lambeth , havefurnished tis with a mass of evidence incidental to this subject , which has left his country largely his debtor . We see some serious attempt to reclaim Dartmoor by spade husbandry of convicts is in course of preparation . Under tbe ahle management of Mr . IL Callender , aceountantin Edinburgh , the peasantry of Ireland have , on' a farm in Galway ,

      successfully worked out the agricultural problem we have held up for solution ; and we observe an Industrial School Farm for boys alone has been for come time in operetion at Craigie . near Perth , vhich already has become self-supporting . Iii truth , such are our capabilities that , in place of feeing an importing , we might become an exporting country for farm produce , and be independent of foreign custom for our manufactures , by rearing up a peasantry rich _enough to find a market for . every yard of cloth we can produce . The career of improvement is being initiated in Ireland by Baron Kichards and the auctioneer's hammer ; and we trust tbat this little leaven of common sense will at last leaven the whole lump of our legislation in reference to the tenure and transfer ofthe soil .

      Now , reader , from the above you will learn , that England , if her land was profitably and justly cultivated , would he able to support sixty millions of souls , and produce a profit

      of SIX HUNDRED AND TWELVE MILLIONS ANNUALLY : and , that if half tbe population was applied to manufactures and commerce , there would be ten acres for each agricultural family ; and if they netted only as much out of ten acres as SiUett does out of two , they wonld still have THREE

      HUNDRED AND SIX MILLIONS of a surplus , wherewith to become the customers of then * trading fellow citizens , and to relieve them of the half of the national burthens besides . Now , how often hare I told you , that the Land never would be cultivated , so long as the landlord measured its value by political patronage , and so long ar the employer could make his profit by a reduction of wages in the competitive labour market ? I bave told you ,

      but I will repeat it . again , that England has a population of three hundred to a square mile ; Ireland of two hundred and fifty ; and Scotland of one hundred ; while the English , Irish , and Scotch , are importing foreign produce from all foreign countries , while their own land is perfectly barren ; while Jersey and Guernsey , with a population of nearl y twelve hundred to a square mile , pay from £ 6 to £ 8 an acre for Land , and are exporting produce . China has a population of between three and four hundred millions , and not one half the quantity of land

      cultivated in England is cultivated m that kingdom ; they import a little rice ; and the terms upon which a Prince holds his title is , that he must hold thep ! ough , and plough upon a stipulated day in each year . Now , working men , let me again implore of you to read the article that I have extracted from the Dispatch ; and in order to prove to you that , '" the folly of to-day may be the wisdom of the morrow " let me ask you , how often you have read the very same in my work upon Small Farms , in the Labourer , and in the Northern Star ? And let me inform you , that however my Laud ± Ian may he reviled aud abused—and however 1 may be reviled and abused—by the most _tortunaterascals , let me , I say , assure you , tnat _lwdl persevere in the undertaking , no -matter against what amount of antagonism I

      Meeting Of Fraternal Democrats. On Tuesd...

      MEETING OF FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS . On Tuesday night , a meeting , of Fraternal Democrats was held at Farringdon Hall , Snow-hill , for the purpose of "taking into consideration the noble conduct of the workmen employed at Barclay and Perkins's brewery , in having given expression to the feeling of detestation felt towards the assassin and woman-flogger , Haynau , by all true Englishmen . ' ' Before eight o ' clock , the hour announced for taking the . cbair , the hall was crowded . A number of workmen , wearing . straw hats and smock frocks , and evidently in the situation of draymen and brewers' labourers , occupied the centre of the hall .

      Mr . J . Pettie was called to the chair , and proposed that a Hungarian should open the proceedings with a song . The Hungarian accordingly sang the Italian " Marseillaise , " which was received with applause . The placard calling-the meeting was then read , the mention of the workmen at Barclay and Perkins ' s being received with cheers , and that of Haynau with groans . The Chairman then said the subject they were met to consider had little in its intrinsic merits to call forth the loud and vehement sentiment that had been echoed throughout the country ; but the conduct of the workmen who had so nobly given expression to their feelings carried with it an influence on the Continent far disproportionate to the simple act they had performed . ( Cheers . ) It was ,

      therefore , of more importance than at first might be imagined ; but that point would be explained to the meeting by the speakers who would follow him . They had met there not only to approve the conduct of the workmen , but to declare , after calm thought and deliberation , that they were ready to back their conduct and accept it as the expression of their own heartfelt sentiments . ( Loud cheers . ) They might be asked , why they went so far abroad to find objects of sympathy as Hungary ; but Byron , England ' s poet and England ' s pride , had nobly denounced every despot in Europe ; and in the revolutions of 1848 , Scotchmen , Englishmen , and Irishmen had perished at the barricades in defence of Polish , Hungarian , and Italian liberties . ( Cheers . ) r He would now call upon Mr . Harney to read some correspondence .

      Mr . Harney then read letters of apology for nonattendance from Mr . Kydd , Mr . Massey , and Mr . Holyoake ; after which , Mr . Daniel William _SuFFEvrose to propose the first reselution . Ue said they were met ' there not only to . congratulate their feliow workmen in the employ of Barclay and Perkins , " but to let the brave Hungarians know that they sympathised with them in reprobating the cruelties perpetrated by tbat cruel monster Havnau- _^ _-faroans)—on their daughters and sons . What could be thought of the government of this country even , who must have well known that it was the intention of such a monster to pollute our soil ! ( Cheers . ) But he rejoiced that the Chartist advocates who had been

      imprisoned had not suffered in vain . ' The principles of humanity and the hatred of tyranny were imbibed by their fellow countrymen generally throughout the length and breadth of the land ; and although it might be thought by the tyrants of this country who goaded the working classes—who sucked them like leeches , nnd then caused . them to be brutally and gradually starved in the bastiles—although they might think that" the principles of democracy had not gained ground , he felt proud in letting them know—and a portion of their countrymen had also iust let them know—that those who were considered

      the scum of the earth—those whom they treated and reviled as dogs , as the canaille and outcasts of society—that those men , the brave men that Barclay and Perkins employ , knew how to treat a monster who will ill-use , aye , and persecute even to death , lovely woman . ( Cheers . ) He knew they would keep order—he had no fear on that score , because they were men who had the soul of freedom within them , and they knew when it was necessary to keep order , and also when it was necessary to show monsters that they loathed them . The resolution he had to propose was : —¦ " That all the people of the earth are brethren . That the infliction of

      tyranny and cruelty in any country is an outrage to all nations . That the Italians and Hungarians command the sympathy , and their Austrian oppressors the hatred , of the people of the United Kingdom ; that foremost amongst the Austrian tyrants of Italy and chief amongst the Austrian scourges of Hungary stands Marshal Haynau , the military murderer , executioner , and woman-flogger —( groans )—that the aforesaid Marshal Haynau is the enemy of the human race , outlawed by the people ofthe world , and amenable to popular justice ; and that , ' therefore , the humiliating punishment upon that miscreant on the occasion of his visit to Barclay and Perkins ' s brewery was honourable and praiseworthy to all who were the administrators thereof ;

      and this meeting declares that the brewery workmen and the high-spirited men and women who assisted them in chastising the Austrian assa _.-sin deserve well of their country , and are entitled to the thanks ofthe friends of freedom and justice throughout the world . " ( Cheers . ) " Now , what were some of the cruelties this human butcher had been guilty of ? He would not state them from word of mouth , but just read it from the Dispatch ; and although some of the names be was not scholar-. enough to pronounce , yet he hoped they would take the ; word forthe deed . It would just open their eyes to a tithe of the atrocities that inhuman and bloodstained monster had perpetrated , and show every man who had a heart to feel , and a tongue to make that feeling known to others , that the wretch had

      only been chastised in the way he deserved . He , for one , felt happy he had not been sent to " that bourne whence no traveller returns "—he was happy he still lived pronounced a recreant and a coward by every man who has a tongue to speak ; and for w * hy ? Because , remember , this monster , when he was surrounded by hordes of assassins , could cause the men and women who fought for their beloved country to be shot and hung—to have , their flesh whipped from their bare backs , and all the cruelties that even devils put of hell could think of perpetrating were perpetrated by that monster . ( Groans . ) Therefore , he was glad he lived , that the worlu might pronounce him to be what he was—a dastard and a coward . Had Haynau been a brave man , he would have said , " I will fight for my life so long as I have

      life" Come one , come all ; sooner shall fly " The _brewhouBe from its site than I . " But no , he fled ; this cur , this dastard , this recreant , he turned his back to the men who were chastising him for his atrocities , and they found him like a babe weeping and crying for mercy . ( Cheers . ) YeBterday , the Morning Chronicle stated that if Barclay and Perkins did not institute an inquiry government must . ("; Oh , oh , " and hisses . ) Now , it had been represented , but he would not vouch for the truth of it , that that paper belonged to Rothschild , who was the friend of this dastardly

      miscreant . ( Groans . ) Well , what did they think of such a man as Rothschild as a member for tbe City , who talked of "My friend , General Haynaw ?" ( Groans . ) And what , too , did they think of Cobden himself ? Remember , Cobden was sitting at the Peace Congress when this monster dared to show his face and sit at the back of him ? Now , if any man valued himself as a man and a lover of justice , would he have allowed such a monster as that to contaminate any room or any place in whicli he was ? ( A voice : "He should have been turned out . " ) But what kind of friends of peace must they hay © heen who , when they found they had a

      Meeting Of Fraternal Democrats. On Tuesd...

      monster there -whof had caused : [ rivers of-human ulo 0 ( _-J . to flow , did not rise up and tell him how wrong it was to persecute his brother ? . Never was there a better onportunity for the friends * Of peace to read a lesson such as the mild : Jesus was stated to have given , to this'brutish fiend * biit ho , hot they . A friend of his the other day said , instead pt _^ bemg called General Haynau , it ought to be " General Hyena "—( laughter and cheers)—for he was ahuman hyena—a blood-stained monster , exoorated by all wherever he placed his foot . [ Mr . Ruffey then proceeced to read the extracts beforementioned from the Dispatch , to show what had been t ; he acts of General Haynau in Hungary , and then continued . ] Ahd , remember , this ' -was the wretch

      for whom the Morning Chronicle' " said , if Barclay and : Perkins did not institute fan * inquiry , the government must . " Institute an inquiry—for what ? _For . a blood-stained -monster like that ? . Oh ! my friends , if Barclay and PerkinB dare inatituto aninquiry , I tell them to remember the fate of Combe and Delafield . ( Tenement cheering , _^ hhd cries of f Strike , strike ; " ) ' There , are trades' unions in existence now—aye , as well' as there were then ; and tfiere is not a man but will pledge himself never to drinkadrop of tbeir beer , _w attempt to go into a houso where it-is sold _ifthey dare . to persecute _thjairmeh . ( Renewed _^ cheering . _i _^ _Nojj _. my friends , thjir firm will / be _tO _^ _w _^ _njonS _^ _nTEi _' tnlt _^' tney ; knowtneyaepehd on the working classes for their wealth and their luxury : and I am told that if they do attempt to discharge any of the men , other brewers aro ready to employ

      them ; and we of this meeting will pledge ourselves , if such is the case , to support those brewers , whoever they are , who take these men . ( Loud cheers . ) Let this meeting , then , tell their Italian and Hungarian friends that we sympathise , with the friends of freedom who suffer throughout the world ; and let the monster Haynau from this time forth hide his head , ana not show Where he screens himself , or I doubt not but that human nature will have found itself so outraged by him , that he will be hunted throughout the world by those who remembered that many oftheir brethren ' s , his victims , blood had been soaked by mother earth ; _and let him take refuge in the only place fitting for himnamely , the depths of hell . ( Loud cheers . ) I will not take up your time further , but merely say , I cordially propose the resolution I have already read to you .

      Mr . Julian Harney seconded : the resolution . Before speaking to the resolution , he wished to make an announcement for the chairman . He hoped those who had not contributed towards defraying the expenses of the meeting on entering the roomwould do so if they were able on leaving ; it , because if any surplus was obtained it would go for the benefit of their friends and brethren , the Polish and Hungarian exiles . The resolution began by declaring that all men . were brethren . Now that was a cheering feature in modern democracy and republicanism . The republicans of old confined their patriotism to their native land , * but now they sympathised with other countries ; They . were told that Jesus preached the gospel of fraternity , but " ' if

      it was preached by him , it had certainly been reserved for the men of the , present day ; to practice that preaching . And who was it that set about its practice ? Not the high and mighty nobles of the land—not even the bishops nor the clergy of any denomination—not the highly , respectable and moral classes of the country—ho ; _' it had been reserved for the proscribed j denounced , persecuted , and execrated party commonly denominated the Red Republicans , to carry out the great doctrine of Jesus Christ . ( Cheers . ) And these . men did not confine their aspirations to mere ¦ speech-making . They were ever ready to shed their , blood _. in the cause of freedom and for the overthrow of tyranny . The assassination of the Roman Republic was the

      darkest page in France ' s history ; yet , to her honour bo it spoken , when her armies marched to the gates of Rome , there were Frenchmen who fought against their own countrymen , and on the side of the Romans , because they preferred right before their country ; and they- 'did nobly and . well . . . And he said , under like . _circuinstancGs ,. Englishmen would do the same 7 ' ff ( Cheers . ) When" the news reached England , of a British army having been destroyed in the defiles of _Afghanistan , thousands of Englishmen rejoiced , because the war carried on by Akhbar Khan was as holy a crusade its that headed by Tell against Austria , or that waged by the Greeks against the Persians , the invaders of their , fatherland . ( Cheers . ) " All men were brethren * , " but

      inthe list he did not include Nicholas of Russia , nor the hyena Haynau , ' nor the perjured , ' lying traitor , the King of Prussia . ( Cheers . ) ' lie drew a distinction between those who were worthy of the name , and those whose diabolical crimes had outraged human nature . Marshal Haynau ' s enormities had not been confined to Hungary . When one ot the cities of Northern Italy rose for the independence of that country , it held ont , although without ariy materiel of war , against tho Austrian troops for an entire fortnight , * and when the fortress was reduced , . what was the conduct of Marshall Haynau towards its brave defenders ? [ Mr . Harney then quoted a passage from a morning contemporary in support of his assertions , and also

      referred to the execution of Count Batthy ani , and then proceeded . ] Was not such a monster , then , truly an enemy to the human race ? and , like the tameless tiger , ought he not to be shot down or disposed oi in any way that would prevent him from doing injury to mankind ? ( Cheers . ) There wcie . two species of hyenas , but they could not call Hyena Haynau alaughiug hyena , unless it . was that the brewers' men made him laugh on the other side of his face . ( Cheers and laughter . ) But it appeared to him , from what was stated in the papers , that he was rather a " cryinghyena" than a laughing one . ( Renewed laughter . ) If the brewers' men deserved anything from the friends of Ilaynau , it was a vote of thanks for their moderation ; and it' they

      deserved anything from his enemies , it was a vote o'f censure for not doing more . ( Hear , hear . ) However , he was not dissatisfied with what they had done . As the general had not had an opportunity of drinking much of Barclay and Perkins ' s stout , if they had given him a dip in tho vat , and left him to get out as best he could , they would have deserved the applause of the human race . [ A Voice " They gave him a dip in the dust-hole . " ] That was rather a dry job ; they should have' given him a wetting , and if the vat was not _convenient , they _miglib have tried that much bigger vat , the Thames . ( Cheers , and renewed laughter . ) He had to congratulate tbem that there was such a thing in the world yet as popular justice ; because they , seldom

      obtained justice inthe courts to which tbey were told to go for it . ( Bear , hear . ) Indeed , no court was in existence to try such enemies to mankind ; and , therefore , it reverted to the people to institute their own court , and execute justice oh him and auch as him . But there were base sycophants of the press—base scoundrels of the _press-rthe tools of Austria and Russia ; and one of them-had been in tho pay of Louis Napoleon to destroy the Roman Bepublic . These un-English , these unmanly , these concealed ,- masked anonymous _assasssins , who used the pen only because they could not uso tho dagger , and who would dare to use the dagger if they dared , and if it paid ' . better than the pen—these _ruflfons were greater obstacles in

      the path of human improvement and pro _grcssion than all the armies on the face of the earth . ( Cheers . ) These despicable ruffians , who durst not stand before them that night and declare their sentiments , had dared to call the good highspirited men ol Barclay and Perkins ' s browery cowards and ruffians , who had brought _disgrace and contempt upon England . He would tell these niuerablequill-drivers thatthey lie . ( Loud cheers . ] He would tell the editor of the Times that if he would come forth and pit himself against any one of these brewer ' s draymen , he would Tery soon find if they _^ were cowards or not . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Now , with regard to the threatened inquiry , the example of Coombe and Delafield , when the trades unions made that firm succumb to their workmen many years ago , would ' not be lost upon Messrs . Barclay and Perkins ,. The partners of

      that nrm might be very rich , but tbey could not attord to lose their entiro fortune ; and ho _would promise , them that if for doing justice to this _barbnrous miscreant ono solitary man lost his employment _^ or was sent to prison , that such a ferment should be created throughout tho metropolis and the country as would induce overy consumer of the drinks they manufacturer to abandon their use until that man was re-instated . ( Loud cheers . ) He could assure them that that would not be the last meeting on this subject ; if necessary they would hold meetings in every locality in the metropolis , and if they could not get halls fov the purpose they would meet in the open air . ( Renewed cheers . ) But in any case they would raise such a subscription , if necessary , as would defend any ot the men who might be arrested , * and support their families whilst they might suffer for inflicting so just a retributive sentence .

      Meeting Of Fraternal Democrats. On Tuesd...

      M . Enoel , a Prussian , next addressed the meet ** ing , thanking the ¦ brewery-workmen for setting such an example as'would effectually prevent all such atrocious tyrants as . General Haynau from visiting this country in future . He hoped he would receive the same treatment at . every railway station or steam-boat . _piei * _hdjhappened to pass . ( Cheers . ) : Mr . Bbown inquired ' .-. where , was Lord . Dudley Stuart ? and charged men of that class witli huinbiigging the working classes . Some papers said the men at Barclay and Perkin ' s had been hounded on by foreigners . They must know that to be a lie . If Haynau ; had been put into the vat , who would have drunk the beer ? : Had he been' thrown into the Thames ,: all _thefish would have been poisoned . Him

      very breath was ; poisonous . . He had the form of man , but all the fiends of Hell were centred in his heart . Those men'who were so * lightly spoken of ( he had conversed with six or . seven of . them _. on Saturday ) were well acquainted withftho _' _Hungariaii war ; The police had been inquiring to know who had struck Haynau . Tho man who struck him with a broom ought to be honoured ' not less than the man who dragged him up by the beard from the dustbin ; Misapprehensions had' gone . about , with : respeot to tho conduct of the landlord of the Georgo . Haynau asked tohave some brandy , when , the landlord , to his honour , said , " Pll be . d——d'if-you have _^ any brandshfere !"* fHe ( Mrr _3 r 6 wn ) had , 8 eenthe _. biWmi _fceslsi _&^ B _*^

      He had seen the _okThat the landlord lent Hayhiiu : it had been sold for a sovereign j more than that had been offered for the old broom ; and the old arm chair was shown the other day ; to a friend—but he would not _sifc in it . ( Laughter . ) When thelandlord applied for his . payment the other day for the damage done to his house he was told the Marshal was not at home . Such was the meanness of these fellows , He had gone to Mr . Rothschild ' s . ( Laughter . ) Let them with heart and soul endeavour to prevent that man irom having his seat for the city ; let-them make him a _< ' Wandering Jew . " ¦ ( Laughter . ) . One woman had thrown out ofa window a pairof scissors

      to cut the Marshal ' s beard off . ( Laughter . ) So pleased were the Hungarians and Poles that sixteen of them had como a considerable distance to visit the scene where the occurrence took place . He had made it his business to inquire into these matters ! The landlord and his Wife denied that they gave this wretchi any sympathy at all . It ran through the papers that Mrs . Benfield protected him . She denied it , and . said _heightened her ; she took him for a madman ; Mr .. Brown . concluded by announcing a concert at the George , for the benefit . of the men and women whom Ilaynau had driven from their native laud .

      , An English version of Mqurir pour la patrie was then sung , and _. Mr . Osborne next addressed the meeting . He pointed to the same ultimate destination for that " incarnate fiend" . Marshal Haynau as someprevious speakers . He commended Barclay and Perkins ' s men for what they had done , but suggested that if they had sent Haynau into eternity they wouldhave done good to mankind , that tho Marshal might have kept the keys of that place to which it was said he ought to have gone , and have made ready a place _forhia Royal master .

      The resolution was then put , and carried unanimously . Mr . Julian Harnet , in moving thanks to the chairman , adverted to the liat of executions by the Hungarians mentioned in the Times of that day . He disputed its accuracy , but reckoned the proceedings justifiable , as three-fourths of the persons executed were spies or otherwise doing the infamous work of the Austrian Government . After three groans fer Haynau , and three groans for the Times and Morning Chronicle , three cheers for Kossuth and Hungary , three cheers for the glorious French Republicans , three cheers for the German , Italian , and Polish patriots , and an equal number given , with great enthusiasm , for Barclay and Perkins ' s workmen , the meeting separated . ; ,.

      City*Chartist Hall. A Densely Crowded Pu...

      CITY * CHARTIST HALL . A densely crowded public , meeting was held at the City Chartist Hall , 26 , Golden-lane , Barbican , ; on Monday evening . ' , Mr . Stallwood having been called to the chair , briefly opened the proceedings . Mr . J . J . Brisck moved the first resolution as follows ,- —" That this meeting being admirers ofthe great principles of democratic and Bocial . liberty , and , consequently , haters of tyranny and despotism , in all its forms ,. sincerely thank the men in the employ of Barclay arid Perkins , and other residents of Southwark , for their manly outburst of feelin / _j , as exhibited by tbem on the recent visit ' of the man shiying ; woman flogging monster , Haynau ,

      and trust it will prove a lesson to all tyrants , and oppressors of the human race . " Mr . Brisck said , that resolution spoke volumes , and certainly taught the great difference which existed , between natural and class-made laws . ( Hear , hear . ) The natural law burst out spontaneously , whenever , human nature was insulted or ' feelings outraged , whilst class-made laws were long-in progress before they arrived at maturity . ( Hear ,-hear . ) Had ' Haynau been a . Chartist instead of a Mmarshal , " _Biiroii Rothschild would not have called him his friend . He much regretted the people had not retained

      naynau s beard , as it would have been invaluable in producing funds for the poor Hungarian refugees , ( Cheers . ) ; , _i Mr . W . A . Fletcher said , the brave Proletarians of Southwark had acted nobly . ( Loud _cheet-s . ) Their treatment of the ruffian , ' Haynau , must convince all tyrants of their ( the people's ) inherent abhorrence of despotism . ( Loud cheers . ) When he thought of the treatment" received at the hands of Haynau by the patriots of Hungary during their struggle for liberty , he could but rejoice at the usage of Haynau on his . ever-memorable visit to _Bankside . He cordially seconded the resolution . ( Laughter and cheers . )

      Mr . G . J . Harney , came forward , amidst loud cheers , to support the resolution , and said , he could not help observing how ready a portion of the base press were in their defence of this monster , appealing for sympathy on the score of his grey hairs ; but , in the days of his power , did Haynau ever pay respect to ago , sex , or creed ? ( Hear , hear . ) The Times said , that the numbers attacking one old man must bring contempt on the name of Englishmen ; but he ( Mr . Harney ) , said tyrants would have too much dread of such noble spirited men to feel contempt for them . ( Loud cheers . ) It would shed a ray of light , a . halo of glory over the whole continent , which would deter any other tyrant from setting his unhallowed feot upon our shores . ( Loud cheers . ) They had had the

      Emperor of Russia here once , but he speedily made his exit ; and after the reception of Haynau they might depend upon it . they would not be . troubled with the hateful presence of , Louis Buonaparte , Cavaigriac , Changarnier , or any other of their _co- * butchers . It was easy for such fellows as . Haymtir to prate of their heroism whilst they kepttheir ' own precious bodies but of harm ' s way , whilst they sent thousands ef men iri search of—not their own , but othor men ' s _glwy . Talk of tno courage of the fiend who could have women stripped in the public squares and flogged with _rodg _, causing their husbands to go mad ; and blow out their brains , and sending their sons to the galleys ; and why ? Because these noble , patriotic women had dared to give succour for a few , hours to a patriotic fugative . Thus did the friend of Baron Rothschild—the fiend

      Haynau . ( A thrill of execration , at this moment , ran through the meeting . ) Had they not heard of the cruel murder of Batthyani— of the numberless victims of Arad 1 Had a Hungarian refugee met Haynau in the street and avenged the tortures and death of a brother or sister , a mother , a father , or a wife , surely , when a jury had been empannelled , on investigating the case they must have returned a verdict of justifiable homicide . Happily it had fallen to the lot of Mr . Brisck , a German Jew , to move the resolution , thus affording bim tho opportunity of showing up the cant of Jewish emancipation and humbug liberalism of Baron Rothschild . ( Hear , hear . ) These partial emancipations

      were always injurious in their effects ; look to Ireland , and they would find' that few of tho emancipated Catholics had worked with the truly patriotic John Mitchel . lie thought the rich had no other religion save that of fleecing , the poor . Rothschild ' s conduct had afforded another proof of this , for was he not calling the great persecutor and _slayerofthe Jews—aye , tho very next , if not thc equal , to Nicholas , his friend ? Ho ( Mr , Harney ) trusted , that at the next election for the City of London two competent persons would be found to stand forth the avowed opponents of Baron Rothschild and Lord _JohnRussell , and show to ; the world what humbug 8 they are . _' f

      The resolution was carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause . Mr . Elliott moved the second resolution as foi . lows - . —" . That , mindful of our rights and liberties , we call upon our brethren to rally round the standard of the National Charter Association ( a locality of whioh is established in this Hall ) , and thereby obtain politioal and sooial rights for the whole people .

      " That this council trusts that thereport of the intention of Messrs , Barclay and Co . to discharge these patriotic men for their ever-glorious acts on this occasion is unfounded ; but , should it prove true , they can only regard the men so discharged as martyrs , and their employers as abettors ofthe man-slaying , woman-flogging crimes of Marshal Ilaynau , and treat them accordingly . " " That this council calls on their brethren in every city , town , village , and hamlet of the kingdom , to give expression to their feelings , _andlhus shnw the tyrants of all nations their detestation of tyranny and despotisiri .

" Mrf O'Connell in the course * oMiis panegyric ' was interrupted by the chairman ,-Wi : P . O'Connor , who observed , that if what

      hehad read of that individual was true , he was , unworthy of the society of pigs . Amongst other atrocities , he was represented to have caused the women of Hungary to be stripped naked and flogged in , the street ; and if all these things wero done hy him , he ( the" chairman ) did not see why he was not deserving ol a ' slight-sousing . The observations of the chairman seemed to be quite in accordance with the opinions of the meeting , more especially the gentlemen iu the body of the . hall , by whom the very mention of the name of Haynau was received with groans both loud and deep . —The rent for the week-amounted to £ 8 6 s . 8 d .

      Cnimlsal Pnosbcutlons.—In Glancing Over ...

      CniMlSAL PnoSBCUTlONS . —In glancing over the calendar which shows the number of trials of prisoners , and the results of those trials , at the last _Knutsford adjourned sessions , held on the 12 th of August , for the county of Chester , we find that there had been committed for trial , during a p & riod of six weeks , ninety-two prisoners , Of these ninetytwo , twenty-two were acquitted ; against fit there were np true bills found by the grand jury ; and in one case tho ' prosecution was withdrawn . The result of a portion ofthe convictions is as follows : — Three were imprisoned for fourteen days ; seven for one month : one for six weeks ; ten for two months :

      and twelve for three months ; total , 33 . Making iu all , out of ninety-two prisoners , sixty-one against whom the prosecutions failed , or whoso offences were of so slight a character ns to require no greater punishment than periods of imprisonment ranging - from fourteen days to three calendar months . Supposing the average cost of prosecutions to be taken at £ W each , exclusive of the expenses of apprehen- ' sion , conveyance to and maintenance while in gaol , the total expenses of the sixty-one cases will be found to be £ 610 , or rather more than £ 100 per week for ono county alone . These facts appear to plead strongly iu favour of summary jurisdiction in trifling charges of felony .
