      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . ' Words ere things , nnd a small drop of ink . Failing—like dew—upon thought , produces - - That which makes thousand " , perhaps milllcns _, ttfa * . ' _Braok . THE ' CONVICTED' PATRIOT .

      • JUSTICE ASD CHARITY . * Bboihsk Pbouraburs , —After my remarks last week on the trials at the Old Bailey , I might this week appropriately comment on a kindred subject —the trial of Smith O'Brien and his . nnfortunate compatriots ; bat I abstain from doing so , because I am aware that the trial of tbe Irish patriots will be done justice to by other writers in this journal . Imay _, no-mer , permit myself to express my _sympathy for the man who is at this moaent menaced by a violent death for the crime . (!) of loving his country , ' not wisely bnt too well . ' I say , 'not wisely . 'because the resnlt of Smith O'Brien ' s Tentore has shown that the mass cf his countrymen were cot wor . by of the sacrifices which have been made , and the penalties which hare yet to be paid by . I fear , more than Smith _O'Biuin . Far bs it

      from me to condemn the 'indiscretion' of the vanquished patriots . I would rather err with such men than be accounted wise with those stagnant-blooded _lip-worthippers of Freedom' who have never been gnilty of the ' mistake' of sacrificing or risking anything for * the cause . ' of which they profess to be the 'friends . ' These reptile liberals _honour tho patriot only when successful- Till and _Wavhinotos they admire , _bscause they were victors ; but Emmett died on the scaffold— ' what better proof wonld yon have tbat he wai a fool ? ' Of course , such men can only _, wonder at the 'folly , ' ' rashness , ' < fcc , of poor Smith _O'Bsnas . Ambition ba « ben said to be ' the glorious fault of heroes acd of gods . ' If a fault , and such a fault—usually so productive of misery to

      mankind—if such a fault may be pronounced ' glorious , sorely , tbat epithet is not misplaced when applied to the error , which can be committed only by men of _generous he-rta and _lofty aspirations—tbe error of believing that slaves love liberty , and the oppressed are ever ready to break their chains . A fatal mistake , I admit , for fa'al bave be ? _n the . consequences to too many of earth ' s noblest sons who have _sacri-Sced all for their ( too often ) unworthy fellow creatures . Nevertheless , such men—themsrtyrs , whose bones pave the rugged path to Liberty ' s temple , have a claim to more than oar sympathy * Brother Proletarians , you will not refuse your homage to the unfor tunate . Ton will give your applause to tbe martyre _, as well as to the victors who fi * ht your _bittles .

      Every man of yoa should read to his neiehbour the horrible sentence passed upon Smith O'Bbisnevery father should impress the words of that sentence on the memory of his son , a lesson to bind , the heart and raind of the child to the service of that sacred cause of Right against Might , againat which that barbarous sentence is directed . Of coarse the Whigs will sot dare to carry that hideous sentence into execution . A traitorous faction—not only traitorous to the people , but now proved beyond the possibility of denial , to have been gnilty of _plotting treason against' tbe king and Constitution' in the time of the Reform Bill agitationsaoh doubly-dyed traitors will recoil from communion with the hangman and the headsman . In dooming

      Coffbt and bis fellow-victims to life-long slavery for the offence of having ' conspired' to carry out Whig lessons , Void Jobs and his colleagues have done quite enough to ensure the inscription of their names on tho roll of infamy . False , cruel , and vindictive as the Whigs notoriously are . I do not believe that they will shed the blood of Smith O _' Beish- But what shall be said ef men who permit the continuance oa the statute book of a law enjoining such a sentence ? Imagine the victim after being made a show of— 'drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution ' 'imagine him hanged — strangled by tbe vile hands ot a gallows-ruffian ; then the head cut and hacked from the lifeless corpse ; and , lastly , the body divided into four quarters , ' to be disposed of as her Majesty shall please ! ' Imagine the gery remains

      of the martyr _plr-rcd at the disposal of' the Mother of her people , * and by her * graciously , * appointed to be' _etrane to city gates and castle walk . ' The Whigs dare not do that . Why then-retain a _u-eless and _barbaross form 1 Is it retained to show that although Monarohy has had its teeth drawn and claws cat eff , that nevertheless the impotent monster is still , in spirit , what it was in tbed ays ofits fnghtfal power ? If the law of treason is to remain in all its ancient _bratishEesa , why not revive the stupid and sanguinary laws againat heresy and witchcraft ? Perhaps the worst part ofthe sentence is the hypocrisy of the concluding _worda : — 'And may God have mercy on your soul . _* ' Condemned by his fellow creatuias to a horrible death , the victim iipiously recommended to the mercy of God !

      ' 0 ! for a forty-parson power To sing tby praise—Hypoori-yl ' I proceed to the second _snbject of this letter . The terrible combat in the streets of Paris io June last , was scarcely ended , the blood-reeking sabreof _Cavaio-ug was but _jostrestored to its scabbard , when the alarmed Dictator discovered that he had as yet done aothing to secure his victory , or prevent the recurrence of similar straggles . Some thousands of workmen had been butchered , _thousands more were in the foul depths of vilest dungeons , doomed to

      transportation ; and Reaction , Death , and Terror _, had been substituted for 'Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity ; ' still the ideas which had prompted the raising of the barricades , had not bean annihilate ! —on the contrary , it waa seen that the new faith had been rendered stronger by the martyrdom of ita devotees . Musketry and cannon—howeverpowerful to mow down men in masses—ennld not mow down principles . _Cavaig-uc , therefore , turned to another quarter for he ' p , in the vain hope that what the soldier ' s ' sword could not effect , the sophist ' s pen might , perhaps , accomplish .

      ' _Persuaded that it waa not enough to re-establish material order by means of force , unless moral order was also re-established by means of true ideas , ' _CiVAiGSic applied to the' Academy of Moral and Political Sciences' te _assist him in the task he had set to himself , of attempting the extinguishment of ' pernicious theories . ' The Academy at once responded to the General ' s reqaest , and appointed a Cemmission of five members to take measures for the moral defence of 'social order . ' When it is stated that the notorious Thiers is a member of the ' Commission of Fire , ' the reader will anticipate the kind of' moral measures' likely to emanate from such

      _asonrc _? . The principal measure determined on by the Commission was the publication of a number of treatises on the m * 8 t usually agitated topics of social economy , in a cheap form , for circulation amongst the masses . The first treatise is from the pen of _Victon _Covbis , and the subjects discoursed of are 'Justice and Charity . ' A translation having been published In London , I am enabled to offer a few remarks on a work which is not likely to set either the Seine or the Thames on fire ; and , on the other hand / is as little likely to extinguish foe fire of the 'Red Republic '

      Monsieur Cousin commences by insisting that every legitimate system of society must comprehend bath Justice and Charity ; 'for thisBimple _reason , that every society , as every individual , is subject to the concurrent rale bath of one and the other . ' If it is in the nature of things that every society , and erery individual in _sccie'y _, is subject to both 'Justice * and 'Charity / it is very superfluous for Monsieur Cousn * to tell his readers that every legitimate system must comprehend both principles . It is like _sayine that , as every human being ia dependent for

      the preservation of life on air and food ; therefore air aed ' fcoi are indispensable in every legitimate stato of society . But is it true that every homsn being is subject to the concurrent rale of 'Justice' and ' Charity f' Jadging men by their actions , I should b-i inclined to say , that a very large number of men ere not subject to either . But . admitting that men should submit themselves to the sovereignty of' Justice , ' I deny that society , or maa individually , has any occasion for the ' concurrent rule ' of'Charity . ' Jutlitia suffdt ! . _

      Yes , 'justice is sufficient ! ' Were men jast there would need neither laws nor constitutions—neither Codes of morals ner divine revelations , to ensure the liberty , equelity _, fraternity , and happiness of the human race . It has been truly said of certain theologians , that whereas they have taught that God made man in his own image , the truth is . that they have made God the image of man . So I affi-m of Cousin and his colleagues—whether eophists or soldiers—that the incarnation of _rapadty and cruelty they have set up and called'Justice , * is but the hideous representative of their own avaric 9 and ferocity .

      'Justice , says Cousin , ' while respecting the _liberty of a man , may , with a safe conscience , let him die of hunger . ' To prevent this outrage on humanity , he cal's in'Charity' to sanction assistance to the perishing creature . 'Tou are hungry , ' Bays Cousis . 'I feel it is a duty to _tuccoor you ; but jou nave no right to exact from me the least portion sf my property ; if yon wrest a single farthing from me you commit an injustice . ' This might apply to a state of society in which ell enjoyed equal facilities * or obtaining the means of subsistence , and in which every one possessed of property , _possessed only the

      fruits of his own industry . But the reverse of both exists under the present system . In Eagland the relief afforded from the _pwr rates to the destitute is , ' in fact , a return to the labouring classes of a very email portion of the wealth produced by these who , _although * paupers , ' are the great creators of ' property . ' The same holds good of the _assistance rendered by the state to the unemployed in France . Before I can consent to adopt Cogsis _' _s theory , I must be satisfied—lst . That all the property he is possessed ef is the product of his own labour , whether hand work or brain work ; and 2 nd . That no human being exists is France , the fruits of whose labour have been

      To The Working Classes. ' Words Ere Thin...

      plundered from him by the devourers of taxes , rents , and profits . Were such a state of things existing , ' Justice ' would reign , and * _JQharity _" would be ' a iupM * ilaity . Bnt as long as the priegerit system _sballtodare , the victims of that system _re'duced to _destitu- _j tion have a just claim on the wealth of the men of property . . What if the _workman . _was to say to the non producer , ' Tou bave no right to exact from me tbe least portion of my property ; if you wrest a single farthing from me , yoa commit an injustice . ' What if the wealth producer was to address these words to the tax-eater , the landlord , and the usurer ? No doubt 'Monsieur Cousin would be terribly shocked ; and , f etickier though he is for the ' rights of pro perty , would raise a howl of wrath against what he would call not justice , but' injustice . ' Tet such is precisely the language the proletarians of all countries will use if ever they coma to their senses . When Cousin is speaking of the' rigbtof property , I his reader is _tempted to exclaim with Bison ,

      ' I wish he'd illustrate his illustration , or it wonld puza _' e a Philadelphia lawyer to _comprehend his meaning . Perhaps the clearest of his definitions is the following : —* The _^ _er-w then has the right to occupy things , and in occupying them , appropriates them : a thing thus becomes the property of tke person , belongs to that person alone _. _aud no other person may thereafter set up a right to ft . This is the old apology for all the usurpations that have atflioted the human race , aad . if admitted , would justify nst only _laad- ' robbery and wages-slavery , but also the personal bondage of the many in subjection to the tew . It is true that Cousin insists over and over again npon the | Jiherty' of every man ; but , at the aame time , he makes a nice distinction between our person' and' oar material frame . ' The former ( the

      * person' ) he maintains is the foundation of each man _s property and liberty ; but ofthe latter ( the ' material frame' } , he says : —• Our body is our own , or tt not our own . according to circumstances . ' According , I suppose , as tho system of body-slavery , or wagesslavery—American or European Blavery—may predominate ! It is very clear that the only objeot Cousin has in view is to throw dust in the eyes of the people . A straightforward defence of the existing sjstera , such es Malthus wonld have written , he has not the courage to write , he has therefore strung together a mingled yarn ot nonsense and falsehood , hoping to confound _. 'if he cannot convince , ' the _* Pro' _# air € 3 . The fol ! owing > xtract sufficiently exhibits _thedishoneaty of Monsieur Cousin : —

      It is not true that men have a right to be equally rick , _heautifal _, robust ; to equal enjoyment ; in a word , to be equally happy : fer they differ originally and necessarily at all tbe points of their nature which ' correspond to pleasure , riches , happireBS . G _« d has made us with unequal powers for all these things . Here equality is _contrary to nature , contrary to the eternal order of things , for diversity is fully as much as harmony , the law of _ercatien . To dream of such an equality is a stvange blunder , a deplorable phrenxy . This is the fcol'a argument againBt Equality ; but Cousin is no fool . He is here acting a pare occasionally performed by the opponents of _Chartistr , who pretend to understand by ' Universal Suffrage' the

      exercise of the franchise not only by adult males , but also by lads , women , children , and even infants . Such opponents of the Charter are not the fools they p- etend to be ; and the same may be said of Cousin . Well he knows that it is not _agaiBat Nature ' s works , but against man ' s crimes , tbat the advocates of Eqaality lift up their voices . The men who have inscribed on their banner : — ' The Democratic and Sooial Republic . ' demand JUSTICE ; neither more nor less . It is not a fool ' s paradise they are jn search of , bnt a state of _society in whioh every man shall have protection , education , labour and laboar ' s natural reward ; and in which there shall be no place for idlers , nor blood-suckers of any description .

      Monsieur Cousin may take to himself the comfortable assurance that he has thrown his labour away ; and General Cavaignac would do well to understand tbat though his precioosband of ' philosophers' should publish millions of such tracts as 'Justice and Charity , ' they will fail to raise a dyke against the ever-rising waters of Social Democracy . Truly did the fanatic Mostaumbebt—in the debate on the 8 h article of the Coostittitkn—say to the Assembly . * The muskets whioh tbree wonths since were directed againstthe Repubtia { again *> tthesham Republicans ?] were charged with ideas' Those' ideas' —in spite ut _Cavaiunac _, Cousin , and Co , ; in spite of the sabres ef s _'Oguinary usurpers , and the prostitute pens of petti fagging' philosophers '—will advance , conquering and to _eonquer , until JUSTICE—the reign of all sufficient JUSTICE—shall be finally and irrevocably established .

      GERMANY . _SAUeumARY AND SUCCESSFUL INSURRECTION IR YIENNA . —FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR . — DEATH-OF THE MINISTER OF WAR . —THE DIET EN PERMANENCE .

      Vienna , Oct . 7 , —Two battalions of Grenadiers had received marching orders for Hungary ; a portion of the men refused to obey . They were , therefore , escorted hy a regiment of Cuirassiers . As they approached the bridges over tbe Danube they were received by armed peasantry , who prevented them from proceeding farther , fraternised with them , and commenced demolishing , the bridges . National Gnards arrived , and sided with the military . The Cuirassiers , who could not _reoross the bridge , were obliged to retire . A fight soon ensued between' the Grenadiers , National Guard , and people en the one side , and a battalion of'Fusiliers , ofthe Polish Regiment of Nassau , on the other ; supported by troops recently arrived from Prague . The struggle lasted till mid-day in the _Leopoldstadt , and then spread to the city , where a division of National Guards fought

      against the students and the country people . Between the hours of four and five in the afternoon , the Ministry of War , which was only , guarded by thirty men . was Btormed aad ransacked , and the Minister , Count Latour , put to death by stabs in the b : dy and blows of a sledge hammer or axe on the head , and tben hanged on a lamppost in the courtyard . The arsenal was defended during the night by the military and a body of the National Guard , but fell into the hands of the people towards morning , who immediately armed themselves . The report of cannon and musketry continued all yesterday and during the whole of the night ; the alarm-bells in the city and surrounding villages sever ceried ringing . The Ministry is dissolved ; the Minister of Jus tice is said to have been _seized whilst endeavouring to leave the city , and is looked up in tbe Aula . The other Ministers with the exception of Dobblhoffand Hornbostly , have secreted themselves .

      All the military have left the city , and the fighting has Ceased .

He was admitted into the prison on the * llth of September from Warwick gaol , convicted of housebreaking , after a previous offence , and was sentenced to seven years' transportation . . On the 29 . h of the Bame month , he was attacked by fever , whioh , coupled with laryngitis , or inflammation of the upper part of the windpipe , caused his death on the 6 th instant . Dr Bailey , the _priton physician , stated " that fever was at the present time exceedingly prevalent throughout London , and it was especially eo in that gaol . Sometimes persons in an excellent state of health were taken off by the effects of its attack .. The Jury returned a verdiot in accordance with tho medical

Mills , _Muawell-hall , _Hornsey _. the residence of Mrs Walter Berdoe , oa the body of his mother , Mrs Mary Berdoe , aged 87 , who wai found dead under the following circumstances : —The deceased lady , it appeared , was in the habit of having a rush-4 * ht bnrning in her b _? dreom all night , and was eo apprehensive of thieves that Bhe insisted en locking the door on the inside , although frequently remonstrated with on the danger of suoh a praotice . On Thursday , the deceased retired early to rest . In the course of the night Miss Berdoe was awakened , and _perceiving a smell of something burning , _shealarmed her father , who went to his mother ' s aoaitment . The door was

      looked . He peroeived no light , and heard his mother breathing inside . He made a noise for the purpose of arousing her , and she replied , as if _asgry at being disturbed , Well , I do not know what yoa want . ' She declined having _, another candle , and spoke quite collected . Mr Berdoe , believing that everything was safe , retired to bed , but at five o ' olock ia the morning he was again roused by one of the maidservants coming to his door and orying ont tbat there ' was a _aoise of thieves in the house . Starch was instantly nude , when , strange to relate , in the parlour under tbe bedrooa of Mra Berdoe , it was discovered that the noises heard by the servant were caused by burning portions of the bedBtead en which the old lady Blept falling through a large hole in the ceiling en the parlour

      table , the castors , screws , and other iron work , being literally red hot as they descended , a large body of _fhme being seen , through the hole consuming tbe bed oh the floor above . An immediate ruth was made to the room upstairs , and the door was instantly burst open . The dense smoke whioh filled the room , however , perfectly darkened every objeot . The bed , whioh was half consumed , was fonnd to be deserted , bat by groping about Mrs Berdoe was found sitting in her night drets in a chair behind the room _jdoor quite dead . Her lower limbs , hands , and face were burned , and the whole body as well as the nightgown were quite black . Singularly enough , not a single article besides tho bed was on fire . From the whole

      of the circumstances and the appearance ofthe place , it was supposed that the deceased lady had got out of bed , and in passing ignited the cotton hangings , and on the flames spreading had vigorously torn them down , tben bundled them together on the fir 7 , and tried to extinguish the fire by covering tbem with carpet , and then pushed them under the bed for removal by daylight . There they had gradually smouldered and burned the remarkable hole in the floor . Most likely in s ;? king the door to unfasten it and raise aa alarm . Mrs _BeiJt 3 was ovei powered with the intense heat and sank down . —The jury being _a-. sured that , at all events , the fire which caused the death of the deceased lady was purely accidental , returned a verdict to that effeot .

The case was consequently postponed until Thursday next . The magistrateat the eame time directed that if any ofthe prisoners wished to Bay anything , he was willing to hear them . This message was delivered to the _prisoBers , and soon after Mrs Lindfield and her son appeared at the bar . —The son , addressing the magistrate , wished to know the nature of . the charge against him ?—Mr Norton aaid , the charge up to the present waa not of a _aerious oharaoter , and

      therefore it was that he had , on the last examination , agreed to accept bail for , him—Mrs Lindfield said , that in consequence of the affliction of her son , and the secluded manner in Whioh they lived , keeping themselves aloof from all their neighbours , a prejudice was entertained against tbe * m , ' and to this she attributed the difficulty in procuring bail ; The charge against herself she would admit was bf a serious description , and it was most essential to her that her son should be at large , to enable her to en : gage a counsel for her defence—Mr Norton Baid , that nnder the _cironmstancrs , he should accept the young man's bail in the sum of £ 50 , to appear en Thursday next . —The required Burety , being given , the prisoner was discharged .

      Another Body Found Oa Friday, Mr Bedford...

      ANOTHER BODY FOUND Oa Friday , Mr Bedford held an inquest at tbe Feathers , Dean-street , Westminster , on the body of a newly-born female ohild , found in a field oh Thursday morning last . PolicoBergeantPranger , ofthe A division , said that on the morning in question he wbb passing along the _VauxbaU'Bridge-rcad , when he was called to by some boys who were in a field at the back of _Lillington-street . On proceeding there he perceived a bundle lying on tbe ground , and , npon opening it , he found the body of the _deceased therein . He immediately conveyed the body to the station _honee , and from thence'to the workhouse . The body was packed , first , in four sheets of brown paper , and afterwards wrapped in some _newdanvass . The hands of the deceased were folded across the breast , its tongue protruded , and the parcel was bound round exceedingly tight with cord . Ho had made inquiries , but was unable to ascertain whohad placed the ohild there .

      Dr Wright , who had examined the body , said tbe ohild was full grown . It had not received medical attendance at birth , and from the decomposed Btate of the body , it was hardly possible to tell the cause of death , although it was probable that it might have died from negleot . The Coroner said , after the horribl disclosures tbat had taken place a few days since at Walwortb , ho was in hopes that he should not be oalled upon to _investigate any more of these shocking cases , but

      ha waa sorry to inform thejury that suoh was not the case , and as he was leaving'his office to bold the present inquiry , he received information of another child being found in Hyde Park under similar circumstances . No one could ever make him ( the Coroner ) believe that these children were born and disposed of in suoh a barbarous manner withont the instrumentality of more persons than their parents . It was not possible for a female _ts be confined and take her child ont of her house without being seen by the neighbours .

      A Juror said he had no doubt that there were many similar establishments to that at Walworth in the metropolis for the express _puspose of making away with young ohildren . Dr Wright said that the present was not a cate of abortion . The Coroner—No , but you stato tbat the ohild had not been attended to at its birth , and it _Beemod quite probable to him that these children might be thus neglected oa purpose to cause their death . It waa moat extraordinary that during the many oases of this description he had been called to investigate , no one had ever been seen to convethe bodies to the

      y place where they were found . Sergeant Pranger was here recalled , and asked by the Coroner whether the police had ever _discovered a person with one of these dead children ? The officer replied in the negative . The Coroner said a premium onght to be held out to the police to make such discoveries , for he was sure if that was once made , they would be able to get such information as wonld startle the pnblio . The Jury returned a verdiot of ' Found dead , ' and the Coroner requested the police to use all diligence in searching for the parties who had plaoed _tfco deceased where found .

      TUE MASONS . A crowded public meeting was held at the Temperance Hall , Broadway , Westminster , on Thursday evening , October 12 tb , to express sympathy with the twenty-one men indioted for conspiracy , and abont to take their trials at the ensuing Old Bailey

      Sessions . . Mr Roger Grey was unanimously called to tho chair , and congratulated the committee and the audience-on the very numerous attendance , and said most probably that would be the last meeting previous to the trial , bat after trial he hoped to Bee a tremendous meeting to congratulate their brethren on their ' _acquittal . ( Great applause . ) He called on Mr Wood to read the report . The report was very similar to that which has already appeared in the Northbbk _Sras ; he concluded by stating tbat Meters Clarkson , Parry , and Ballantine were engaged to defend the victims . . The report was agreed to with great applause throughout . We learn from the report that the sum already received on account of the matter exceeds £ 250 , from masons and the public . Mr _Torner _' moved the first resolution , to the effect ' That the four o ' _olcck system was just , and shonld ba maintained . '

      Mr Feel ( dyer , and member of the Executive of the United Trades ) , eeconded the motion , and said , he r-gtecd with the resolution , as there wbb a surplus of labour in the market , and one of the best means of getting rid of this surplus was the shortening the hours of labour . _" The resolution was adopted unanimously . Mr Joseph Wood , in an able and eloquent . speech moved the second resolution , urgently calling for support in the cause and de ' enoe of those indioted men . Mr Walton seconded the motion , and said , he thought tbeir indioted friends need not labour under any apprehension as to a conviction , as from the enquiries he had made it would result in an acquittal . Be it remembered that some of the best of the employers had gone ao far as recommending the 'four o ' clook'movement , whioh had given rise tothe indiotment . ( Hoar , hear . )

      Mr A . Campbell supported the motion , whioh was put , and carried Unanimously . A vote of thanks was tben given to the Northers Stab , and other papers , and the meeting quietly dispersed .

      The Irish Trials Pop. High Treason. Clon...

      THE IRISH TRIALS POP . HIGH TREASON . Clonmel . — At half-past ten o'clock on Thursday the jury appeared in their box , counsel for tho Crown and prisoner being in court . In a fer ? minutes the Lord Chief Justice , Chief Justice Doherty , and Mr Justice Moore entered and took their seats upon the bench . Mr O'Brien came forward to the bar immediately after . The court-house was . very full , there being , as usual , a great number of ladies , who seemed to take a great interest in the proceedings , many of them attending daily from morniBg till night .

      Mr Whiteside said , in continuing his address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner , that he had endeavoured at the close of the previous evening to convey to them the principle upon which the case of the prisoner rested ; and he stated to them more than once that by law , supposing he had been convicted in Dublin and imprisoned , and persons broke into the gaol to rescue him , that would not have been high treason ; still less did an attempt to preserve the prisoner from , arrest amount to that crime . He next proceeded to quote a case reported in 1 st Ventris , page 251 . It was the case of Captain C—— . He was the captain of a company of Colonel Russell's Regiment of Guards , and he and

      a serjeant of his company were prosecuted by the Sheriff of London . A butcher named D'Obier , who 1 broke , ' having enlisted as a soldier , was arrested in London for debt . The captain formed a design of rescuing the prisoner—an order was obtained to cause his removal from one prison to another . The captain ordered theserjeantto take thirty soldiers and rescue him from the persons who had him in charge . Accordingly , the serjeant and other soldiers lay in ambuscade , and when they noticed his coming they sallied out , drew their swords , and the serjeant gave the order that they should kill the first man if there was any opposition offered . Chief Justice Hale said in his judgment , that the military were growing

      headstrong ; they were the King ' s subjects to preserve the peace . If men took upon themselves to rescue all the soldiers , it might fall within the crime of high treason ; , but being au attempt to rescue one in particular , it could not be held to be so , but it was a misdemeanor . This was a startling case ; but it was laid down by the Court tbat the universality of the design constituted the crime of high treason . To make an agreement to break into a single prison was not high treason ; but to agree to take all the prisoners from the civil power was high treason ; to rescue one man was not so . If tbat were so , the judgment of the jury acquitting the prisoner would follow as a matter of course . He had left off the previous evening at

      _Carrick-on-Suir , and he called upon them to discard the language ascribed to Mr Meagher , as it was very unlike what a person of his ability and education would have used . The learned gentleman then referred to a case in which tho Attorney General of the day when it was tried acted very differently from the Attorney General of the present time . A society existed in London which Lord Eldon thought might turn out to be treasonable , and he caused every member to be arrested , and then applied for a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act . Document were discovered in which the House of Commons w » s called a set of scoundrels a sink of corruption the House of Peers . was also lilified ; and in the house of Hardy was discovered the following poetical effusion : —

      Why should we vainly waste our prime R . ptatlng our oppression !) ? Corns rouse to arms , ' tis now the time To punish _paBt transgressions ; 'Tis said that Kings can do no wrong ; Their murd ' rous deeds deny it , Ani stneo from us their power has sprung _. We have tho right to try It . Chorus—Come , rouse to arms , & c . Tho starving wretch who steals for bread But seldom meets compassion , Aad shall a crown preserve tbe head Of him who robs a nation ?
