would-be altogether a blank . 3 m _ = _e _Pajbiohsh . —At the last gathering of the " pot wallopers '' Air . Smith O'Brien made his appearance , altera long absence , and in the course of _Jis speech in directing the attention of his audience _jothe present prospects of Ireland , arising from the distracted-state , of . England , an unfortunate wight , a , prophet of Mr . O'Connells own , had the temerity to lollo out , " . France and America ; " whereupon Mr . O'Connell enquired- " what was that ? what were those words ? " ( energetically . ) 1 DESIRE THAT
THAT MAN MAY BE PUT OUT . ( Cries of "turn him out , " during whieh the action was suited tothe word with great effect . ) Surely , Dan must have fomotton the territories of the O'Regans , the small speckgatheringin the west , " his anticipations of sympathy from America , and his appeal to France ! However , the poor pupil who had so wdl learnt his lessen has discovered the Talue of Irish education , and the fact that he must now unlearn all that he had imbibed ef the Royal Loyal Conciliation Repeal College . Smith O'Brien most vociferously calls npon ihe Government to call Parliament together , before Christmas , for the purpose of considering the famine
question ; but the honourable gentleman appears to have forgotten that the Irish " Rapparees" abandoned their duties while Peel was devising meansfor the CORRUPTION OF THE IRISH PRIESTHOOD , andthe subjugation of the Irish People . The Young L _ . berat 0 r . 3 nd the Protestant Champion had a " set too" about the mixed education scheme , but flie old "bottleholder stept in as umpire and declared , that though the combatants disagreed they didn't differ at all . The cant . of the begging patriots was ofthe usual character , and appeal to everybody ' s pockets and sympathy but their own . We give the _following few extracts from the speeches of the several speakers : —
Mr . W . S . O'Bkibn , in the course of a lengthened _address , alluded , in terms of deep despondency , to the failure of the potatoe crop , but congratulated the meeting on the spirit already evinced throughout the _country to refuse " charity" fron * _^ England , and called upon them , as they valued their national character , to meet the present crisis with energy axd _hesoxctiox . What a joke for a Repeal member to appeal , and a set of trafficking shopkeepers to applaud the appeal , to a starving people to famish with energy and resolution . Farther on , and just after the unfortunate French American had been ousted , Mr . O'Brien continues : — - ..
" " Although England seemed prosperous , he believed appearances were delusive , and there never was , he believed , a time in which England was in greater danger—not so much from internal decay as irom her political position . At that moment she had not one Mend among the nations of the earth . ( Hurrah , bravo , bravo , and other congratulatory exclamations . ) Opposite her shores was her ancient rivals , whose joy it would be to encounter her in . arms . ( Loud cheers . ) That rival possessed a magnificent military establishment , _400 , 000 men , backed by the 2 , 000 , 000 bayonets of her-national militia , ( loud cheers . ) Were Louis Philippe to die to-morrow an i nspiring Prince could not letter _cetailisk himself than ig going to war with England . ( Great applause . )
The maritime supremacy of England was gone . That fact he had witnessed at the sailing of the experimental squadron . " Is not that what Dan would term 'ludicrous in the extreme V His own poor devil of a pupil was uncerimoniously and ' _enerbehcally' ejected , while the head usher was applauded to the echo for repeating and enlarging npon the same lesson . " However we may despise the ravings of tricksters , we beg to tell Mr . Smith O'Brien , as we told his master before , what would prevent the French from taking possession of every town upon the eoast—the English Chartists would either bmy them where they landed , or send them hack with their tails between their legs , to tell the " tbogs" what kind of animal the '' bulls" were , and
what sort of horns they had . Mb . " J . O'Cosxesi _, in a strong and impressive manner , defended-his conduct respecting the Colleges' Bill fiom'the imagined censure of the last speaker . Mr . D . OGossell rose to hasd in monev , and _prtproceeded _, — "Hunger , it was said , would break through a stone wall , but he said hunger should have _xaiioxalut as ns guide , and entreated the people te beware of any acts which could aggravate their misery . " We should like to see Dan , after two meals of starch a day , to discover how far his ra tionality would guide him . He said that Dr . Kirwan , who had recently accepted ths presidency of the Galway College , was his bosom friend , and that his heart was torn to pieces when he read it ; andthe Liberator slyly aided these expressive words—" he
HOPED THAT IT WOULD _XOT COME ACROSS IHE MINDS OP TBE PEOPLE THAT THEIR C _& _EBGT COULD BETRAT shem . " Mnsha , Dan , your sow ] , but it will , as sure as yon live ; and it will come across their minds too , that yon were juggling them with buffoonery while Peel was doing thelricK . Tbe Representation of Cobk . —The Liberator concluded by moving a resolution , pledging the association to support Mr . A . M'Carthy at the next election for Cork . Ah ! Liberator , the very name of Joseph Hayes struck terror into your heart . The hext Business was the reading of a letter from a Mr . P . Goney , who , standing at his own hall door , saw the withering effects of the Union On the _^^ _ife _tote _oftuecaStfaof _tiie Barnacles , and Bent in a subscription accordingly , which , it may be inferred , will be applied to restore the withered mansion aforesaid . Will it , though ? By gonnees , Mr . Goney , don . t you wish yon may get it ont ofthe devil ' s exchequer ? Didn't you know that the Irish patriots only build castles in the air ?
The Rest for the week was then declared to be - £ 300 17 a . 6 d ., and the meeting adjourned . And thus ended another performance of the national farce . Codei CiEcuLAH . —The Royal Family took their _asual airing in the Park to-day . Prince Albert , with Col . Anson for his groom , rode on horse-back , and the Queen was driven in an open poney-caniageby one of theyoung Cobonrgs . The Royal Infants followed their mammy in a close carriage , having suffered severely from gripes brought on by potatoe starch .
Asoihsr of the Yocxg GoBOCEos attempted to ride one of Prince Albert' s horses , bnt the well-fed steed being too mettlesome for his jockey , deposited him in the branch of a tree ; but he was ultimately released by His numerous relatives . In compliment io the Prince of Wales , the brush of the fox killed on Monday was- presented to him , as a birthday f resent . The young Cobonrgs have mutinied , and swear that they will at once return to their own country , as " sour . krout" is better than " rotten potatoes . " The Stock Exchange—There's the devil to nay
amongst the banditti . The last sheaf of the . stack under which the vermin invariably rally has been lifted by the Bank of En-gaud , and the rats are to be seen scampering in all directions . All sellers and no buyers ; and thus , as we predicted , Peel ' s iron roof upon . the glass house is about to tumble in . Eveiybodythought , butourselves , that Peel's banking schemes was to make money so plenty , that the streets would , be paved with penny loaves , and the houses thatched with pancakes . However , the effect of Ms tinkering has been that the Bank screw is likely to leave ns all without a screw .
Thkahucais . —The routing ofthe railway rats has been a sad source of disaster to the several places of amusement ; the poor devils-that paid for pleasure out of the people ' s pockets have been obliged to seek cheaper refuge . Sadler's Wells and Asley ' _s alone seem to possess attraction . Sadler ' s Wells , from the inimitable representation of Lear , by W . Phelps , _decidedly the most finished tragedian of the day , and Astley's , from the indefatigable catering and spirited management of Mr . Batty . Thubsbat . — This hag been another blank day for the poor devils of the press ; the railway gloom , and the increasing difficulties in the way of discounting " _promises-Hto _paj" tftree months after convenience , makes the capitalists look very blue .
Irklasd . —There is little or no news from Ireland beyond the- increasing bad accounts of the potatoe oops , except the further scampering of the railway rats . Thecrack lines that were np to high premiums are all down to frightful-discount ; whue there has b _^ discoveredapalpablejugglein the "top-sawyer , " the London and Drogheda . Tbade _^ AII the accounts agree in giving a melan choly picture of our present and future prospects . _Mamulw-taxera arefearM of taking orders at thelow pnoes offered by speculators ; andthe producers , as usual , are obliged to fold their arms in idleness , while the traffickers are bargaining about their wages .
Coubt _CffiCDXAB . —Prince Albert , who receives £ 50 , 000 a year , one way or other , refuses to pay the poor rates on his farm at Windsor , assigning as a reason that he can't make profit out bf it . Query will he give it to the people , and allow them to try Heir hand upon it ?

Traill , charged with creating a dis . turbance in the Surrey Coal-hole , next to the Surrey Theatre , and using threatening language towards Mr . Shepherd , the proprietor of the tavern . The latter stated that for some time past his house had been infested with some-of the most daring members of the " mob , " both male and female , and many parties entering his house from the theatre for refreshments have been jobbed . The previous evening the prisoner entered the parlour with
a female , and attempted to carry on his vocation upon some gentlemen who were standing near the fire-place , when he ( Mr . Shepherd ) entered and requested him to leave the house . He refused , and set him at defiance ; hut , knowing his character , he was determined to eject him .

licence about him . —The prisoner replied in the negative . Mr . Traill said , that under all the circumstances he should order him to find bail for six months .
Meeting Of Parliament.—We Understand Tha...
Meeting of Parliament . —We understand that a Privy Council will be held at Windsor Castle on Thursday next , the 20 th inst ., when a proclamation wiil be agreed upon for further prorogueing Parliament from the 27 th to an early day in January , then to meet for the dispatch of business . Mysterious Affair . —Gravesrm ) , Friday , November 14 . —This morning , as a man in the employ of the Earl of Darnley , at Cobham , was going to work , he found near the spot where Dadd murdered his father , four pistols , three of them discharged , and
one loaded , a pocket handkerchief saturated with blood , and a pool of blood at the place , and the turi very much torn up as though there had been a terrible struggle ; also near the place was found a ginger-beer bottle containing . brandy or brandy and water . The workman , immediately made of to the steward of the estate , and brought him to the place to see the things as they were found . The steward immediately dispatched intelligence to the police at Rochester , who promptly used means to endeavour to discover the horrid affair , but to this moment without effect .
Dreadful Accident at Osborne Palace . —Cowes , November 14 . —As one of the men , named George _Driscoll , was at work under the roof of the new building , he overreached himself , and fell down the well-staircase , a distance of fifty-two feet , fracturing his left thigh and the back part of his head by the fall . The surgeon to the royal household , Dr . Hoffmeister , was called in ; but the poor fellow ' s head was so crushed , that he lived only an hour and a half . An inquest was held at eleven o ' clock this day by Air . _Sewell , coroner , and a verdict of "Accidental death " recorded . The man was a very steady workman , and by this accident his wile and five children are deprived of support . Great Turn-out at Manchester . —Several ofthe masters have discharged their hands , to the number of three hundred , on the ground that they will not _employ any man belonging to the Tailors' Protection Soeietv .
Alarming Fire . —Wastage , Nov . 14 . — A most alarming fire broke out this morning about one o ' clock , npon the extensive farming buildings occupied by Mr . Wm . Trinder , which were in a very short time totally destroyed , together with a quantity of seeds , & c . There is every reason to believe this has been the diabolical act of some incendiary . Case of the Brazilian Pirates , —Court of _Exchequer , Saturday , Nov . 15 . —This being the day appointed by the judges for hearing the arguments in the case of murder and piracy , tried before Mr . Baron Piatt at the late Exeter assizes , the court was besieged at an early hour by crowds of well-dressed persons of hoth sexes , and long before their Lordships took their seats upon the bench every available nook
and corner was occupied . There was an exceedingly full attendance of the gentlemen of the long robe , and one or two foreigners of distinction , _including a French judge , were observed to be present . Shortly after ten o ' clock their Lordships , consisting of the chief judges ofthe Courts of Queen ' s Bench , Exchequer , and Common Pleas , entered the Court , and the case was immediately proceeded with . The _learned _Sergeant who . was engaged for the prisoners Martinos Joaquim , and de Santos , _Proceeded to read the statement which Mr . Baron 'latt had supplied to the other Learned Judges . It merely recapitulated facts elicited on the trial , which have already appeared in this paper , " and concluded by stating that the prisoners had been found guilty
of the offence with which they were charged , and sentences of execution had been passed upon them , but subsequently respited till the 24 th instant . The Learned Sergeant contended that the conviction was wrong upon two grounds . In the first place he said that no crime of felony had been committed ; and secondly , he said that supposing a crime in the nature of a felony had been committed , the Court at Exeter had no cognisance of the case . Now the grounds upon _whidh he said no crime had been committed was , that the two vessels , the Felicidade and the Echo were wrongfully taken ; but it would be sufficient to support this branch of his argument to show that either one or the other had been wrongfully | taken . The learned Sergeant was proceeding in his [ argument when we went to press .

worship-street . Monday . _—Extbaordinaet Chabge of _Adhinisteb . isg Poison . —William Beale , a young man of respectable appearance , described as a professional singer , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with having forcibly administered a certain white powder , supposed to be poison , to a little girl eleven years of age , named Jane Eastman , the daughter cl an undertaker in Somerset-place , East-road , Hoxton . The case excited an unusual degree of interest , and the court was densely crowdod during the investigation . The complainant , a pretty and intelligent child , who gave her evidence with remarkable clearness and fluency , stated , that _whilepassing down _Feerless-row , City-road , at a quarter past eight o ' clock on Friday evening , she was accosted by the prisoner , of whom she had some slight previous' knowledge , who told her tbat he was going , to see his brother , and if she would accompany him a short distance , he would give
her a _mince-pie . ' After walking a few yards in his company , she told him that having been sent on a message by her mother , she could notproceed any further , upon which the prisoner threw his arm round her neck , and partly dragged and partly carried her nearly half the length of the street . She struggled violently to extricate herself , and the prisoner at length set her down , but at . the same moment seized her hi the throat , and compressed it so ' forcibly with his fingers as to compel her to open her mouth , when he instantly pulled out a small packet containing some white powder , which he forced into her mouth , and she involuntarily swallowed the greater portion ofit , on seeing which _theprisonerhastily ned , and was almost immediately out of sight .. She screamed loudly for assistance during the whole time , and her cri « B at length attracted the attention of a lady who was passing , and who assisted her to tbe residence of her parents . The witness added , that the moment she had swallowed the
powder , she felt . a burning sensation in her throat and stomach , from which she endured fhe most excruciating pain , and had ever since been confined at home , under the ' care ofa siirgeon . Oh cross-examination by Mr . Heritage , who attended for the _prisoner , the witness positively persisted in her _. identification of the latter as the person -who assailed her in tiie maimer described , and stated that shehadseeuh ' im twice before ; the last occasion having been about fits months since , when he called with his wife to look at some apartments to be let in the house ol her parents . The mother of the child confirmed the latter part of her evidence , and Mr . Arthur Hayes , a surgeon ' s assistant , _stated'thatthe child had evidently swallowed poison . —Mr . Tonng , surgeon , had since analysed a portion of the contents ofthe stomach , and detected the existence of an acrid poison , but that he was anxious to have more lime allowed to enable him to complete the analysis . Mr . Heritjge addressed the magistrate on
behalf bf the prisoner , who had instructed him in the most positive manner to deny that there were the slightest grounds for attributing to him such an infamous and diabolical act as that he was accused of . After strongly urging the entire absence of any possible motive for the commission of such au offence , Mr . Heritage said that he had several witnesses in attendance , all of whom were prepared to speak in the highest terms of his client ' s humanity and inoffensive disposition , and he also believed some of them could establish the fact that the . prisoner was at a considerable , distance from the spot where the atrocity was perpetrated . Mr . Thomas Middleton , the landlord of a beer-shop iu the _East-road , was then called , and stated that the prisoner came to his house , shortly before seven o ' clock on the evening in question , and remained seated in front of the bar until nearly eleven , during the whole of -which -time he only once absented himself , and then only for about the space of three minutes , Ilehad known the prisoner for many years , and

believed him to be utterly Incapable of inch atrocity as that alleged against him . Another _witness _. aanwd Orchard , was called to speak to the same facts , but his evidence went to a laMrhour than the time when the transaction took place . Mr . Broughton decided on committing the prisoner for trial , but ordered him to be brought up again oh that day week , to enable the police to complete their investigation . Mr . Heritage earnestly requested that bis client might be admitted to bail , and the magistrate ultimately acceded to the application , but said that he should require two substantial householders in £ 100 each , and 24 hours' notice , to ascertain their sufficiency , The prisoner , who exhibited great agitation , and loudly and repeatedly protested his innocence , . was then removed to theceU * . .

At a meeting held of the members of the Chartist Co . operative Land Society of the "West Riding of Yorkshire , on Sunday last , the following resolutions were passed : — 1 st . " That , in the opinion of this meeting , it is highly essential to the success of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , that the rules , when revised and amended by a Conference of delegates , should be enrolled under the Benefit and Building Society ' s Acts , inasmuch as such course will alone give security to the members , and limit the responsibility of all concerned to the extent of the society ' s operations . " 2 nd . " That in the opinion of this meeting the mode of selecting occupants , as proposed by Mr .

localities in a suitable vessel , each slip having the _' . hame of a locality written on it > and all being folded ., alike . Then an indifferent person shall be , appointed to draw three papers out of the lot , and in one of the localities so drawn shall the _fiwt purchase be made , if practicable , preference being given to the one first drawn . Out of the members residing in , or contiguous to , such locality , who have paid up their full subscription , shall the occupiers of this particular plot of Land be selected ; and the same rule shall be observed to regulate the locality of all subsequent purchases and allocations . "
4 th . " The selection of occupants for the allotments shall be from amongst those who may have paid up their shares in the foUowing manner—There shaU be a meeting of the members in the locality where a purchase has been made and allotments provided , held on notice from the Board of Directors , and at such meeting the names of all such members shall be put on similar slips of paper folded alike , and placed in a suitable vessel , from whence there shall be drawn , by an indifferent person , as many names as there are allotments to occupy . The names so drawn shall be considered as selected to occupy , in the order in which they were drawn , the first drawn name being entitled to Lot No . 1 , the second to No . 2 , and so on . If the needful capital shall have been raised prior to a sufficient number of shares being paid up , the ballot shall take place amongst those who have paid the next highest sums . "' *
oth . "That this meeting recommend to the Conference of delegates the foUowing gentlemen , from whom three may be chosen , with their consent , te act as trustees , in case ihe rules are enrolled , and in whose names the funds and other property of tbe society may be invested in trust for the members at large , viz . : — T .

8 th . Security from _Offiters . — " The treasurer and secretary , and all agents that may be appointed by the Board of Directors , shall , respectively , give such security for the proper discharge of their duties , and the monies they maj be entrusted with , as shall be required from them by the directors . " Itwas also' resolved that the following gentlemen should be named as likely to serve , the interests of the society , if placed on the management , Of eourse they are only suggested as a liBt from whence the proposed Board of thirteen may be selected .

[ Thus far the r eportr eached ut up ta Thursday mormng . Our friends should bear in mind that Mr . Macnamara , in his opinion , merely preferred the principle of priority to that of the ballot , lest the disappointment of a blank for a prize should cool the energy and disappoint the _tanguine hopes of the unsuccessful . As to the question of enrolment , it appears to be all but unanimously agreed upon , principally owing to the fact stated by Mr . Mac * namara _, that the _non-enrolmpt would entail considerable additional expenses upon the society . As to tbe third resolution , our d _^ nition of what we considered "home , " recently _published in the Northern Star , and defined as tbe place nearest to the affections , the relations , and former residence of the occupant , must be fresh in the memory of erery man who read it . We do not believe that the directors or managers of the association had any other earthly thought beyond that of adding the sweets of home to the delight of independence . The
same post tbat brought us an account of the Dewsbury meeting also brought us letters from Dewsbury and Huddersfieid , expressing great alarm lest the Socialists should acquire the control of our Land movement ; and also stating that many cunning devices were actively at work to insure this object , and also to destroy the character of the Executive . Of these , and the quarters from which they are said to emanate , of course we take not the slightest notice , further than to assure our timid friends that the Socialists , for whom we have ever entertained the highest respect ) have not the slightest' chance of getting the control over tbe said movement . ' We were perfectly prepared to meet every description of Opposition in the outset , and we were perfectly aware that as the plum ripened many mouths would water for it . J [ t is riot possible that thc directors can be present in all ' _quarters were underhand at tacks are made upon them ; and in this instance , as in all others , they must rely wholly , solely , entirely , and exclusively , upon the good sense of
Ar00807
the workitif _clasw themselves , who , though slow to think , are ever sure to think right in the end . We cannot conclude without returning . our . mdit sincere thanks to the industrious correspondent who ; . up to . .. Thursday , has transmitted to us several columns Upon this _riveting , aud promises mere for Friday ' s post .. ; These are favours that we are not in the habit of ieceiving gratuitously , and for which , if it was possible , we would spare the re . quired space , if for no other purpose than to meet the side biows at the directors , who have worked with an _Inergy almost unparalleled ; and but for . whose exertions ihe society might have dragged on a miserable _existence , while every speech sent to us , and ,, every resolution that ive publish , aims a heavy blow at the working men who have got up and cherished this _aisMlatlori . and who have
received the poor pittance of ten shillings a week , which _^ 5 i 'li e " more than covered by the profit upon the rules and cards they have sold . The spirit at the bottom of these charges will find the ' sober Judgment of the working classes a sufficient corrective for his malignity . We may ask , in passing , how it happens that we have received no remittance from the Huddersfieid secretary since the 18 th of October ? and conclude by expressing a fervent anticipation that all will come to the approaching Conference with minds prepared to give pvactkal effect to the only legitimate plan ever suggested for the redemption of the working classes , while it is a melancholy fact that , one way or the other , the devil ever attempts to thrust his hoof or horn into plans which he cannot subdue to his own especial purpose . —En .

Windsor Election. Military Eiot—Ihfamous...
_WINDSOR ELECTION . MILITARY EIOT—IHFAMOUS _. OuiitAGE . The election for the return of a member for this borough , took place en _Saturday . Owing to tiie corruption and intimidation exetcisedon the part ofthe ministerial candidate , Mr . Walter had retired , but on Saturday morning , an address appeared from Mr . R . Kettle , Barrister , announcing his determination to take the place of Mr . Walter ; in contradistinction , however , to the principles of Mr . Walter , the new candidate , the advocate of free institutions for all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , the supporter of all useful reforms , the upholder of civil and religious liberty , and the determined enemy ofthe existing Corn-laws . But his chief claim to support he rested
upon his determination to rescue the borough from the oppressive domination with which it was threatened , and to establish its independence for the future on a Becure and permanent foundation . On Monday the nomination took place , Colonel Reid , the ministerial candidate made just such a speech as mighthave been expected from atinie-serying Peelite , Mr . Kettle followed , and commenced his address by ridiculing the speech of his opponent . He had called himself a Conservative , but had not explained whnt he meant by that term , except that a Conservative was a supporter of our glorious constitution . If this glorious constitution sanctioned the canvassing of independent electors and Castle subordinates , it was an idol of brass with feet of clay , His opponent had told them that he was a Protestant , * so also was he ( Mr . Kettle ); but his Protestantism consisted iii holding that every man had a right to take his Bible in his hand , and exercise the right of private
judgment ; and that no counsel of this , and no edict of that , should interfere between a man ' s conscience and his God . His gallant opponent had told them that he approved of the spirit ofthe New Poor-law . Now , the spirit of that law , acting in combination with other laws , was this—it would lead a man to be independent by holding the terror of the workhouse over him ( loud cheers ) . In the present state of our commercial arrangements , this was like setting labourers to run a race , and tying up the leg of one of them . He then alluded to the influence that had been used on the other side in procuring votes ; he was able to name the influence which he meant—it was connected with the kitchen ofthe Castle , and the electors had been prevented from exercising their just rights in the election of a representative . In the course ofhis address , Mr . Kettle was repeatedly interuptedbya number ol young aristocratic blackguards from Eton , who , to the number ef eighty or one hundred , got into the Town-hall .
On the showof hands being taken , the Mayor decided that the majority was in favour of Colonel Reid , and that he was , therefore , duly elected . Mr . Kettle ' s friends protested that there was a false decision , but their protest was in vain . Btween 200 and 300 of the Eton scamps paraded the town shortly after four o ' clock , shouting "Reid for ever , " and " showing fight , " in several instances to those they met wearing the colours of Mr . Walter . In some cases , how « ver , they got roughly handled ,, and rolled in the mud . Soon after five o ' clock they beat a retreat to Eton .
We have now to record the particulars of a most infamous outrage , committed bythe soldery stationed at the Castle , on the inhabitants of the town . These ruffians are Queen Victoria's Life Guards , par excellence ! From eight o'clock until nearly eleven the town was in a state of the greatest excitement , occasioned by nearly 100 of the privates belonging to the 2 nd Regiment of Life Guards coming down from the barracks in a body into the town ( many of them in a state of intoxication ) , and committing the greatest excesses . They were armed with thick sticks and clubs , which they laid about , right and left , sparing no one who unfortunately came in their way . Each one wore a favour of the colours of the successful candidate . Their principal objects of attack were the unfortunate men whom they could identify as having been engaged to carry the boards , or act as messengers on thc part of the committee of Mr .
Walter . A man named Townsend , who bad been _sbockincly beat about the head and body , and another named Hill , were taken to their respective homes in an apparently lifeless state . The servant of Mr . Legh , one of the borough magistrates , and seyeral other of tlie inhabitants , including women and children , were severely injured . Many who were knocked down , while they were quietly proceeding along the street , were brutally kicked while prostrate . After these proceedings had been going on for an hour and a half , Mr . Tibbett and Mr . Blunt , two of the borough magistrates , went into _Peascod-street , to attempt to reason with the soldiery , and to get them to go to their barracks , It . was not , however , until past ten o ' clock that these courageous supporters of the gallant Colonel returned to their quarters . It appears that they had been kept in the barracks all day , but after being well plied with beer they were letloose after dark to commit the most brutal
excesses . Windsor , Tuesday . —Investigation before the Magistrates . — It had been rumoured about the town on the previous ni ght that an inquiry was to take place before the magistrates this morning , into the circumstances of the recent military riot . Beyond the magistrates , however , and their immediate friends , nothing was known with certainty on the subject ; for although it was one in which the whole town of Windsor waa so deeply interested , no official or public announcement was made either of the fact that such an investigation would take place , or of the time at which it would be held , or of the authority that had originated it . The investigation took place , not in the 1 own-hall , but in the magistrates' private room , which is not large enough to hold one hundredth
part ofthe inhabitants of feascod'Street , whose pro . perty was so much endangered , and where some of the chief outrages took place . The chair was occupied by thc new Mayor , Mr . Thomas Adams . On his right sat Mr . Blunt , by whom the inquiry was conducted . On the left ofthe Mayor sat Mr . Clarke , the late Mayor , who also occasionally asked questions of the witnesses . Among the magistratos present were Messrs . Legh , Clode , Tibbett , and Banister . Major Williams , from the barracks , sat in the room during the inquiry , behind Mri Blunt . Mr . Voules , the agent of Colonel Reid at the election , attended professionally in tlie room . Mr . Geary , a solicitor , was also present . It was understood that he attended to watch the proceedings for the persons injured during the riot .
The first witness called was James Dobson , a sergeant in the Windsor police , who Baid , he was on duty on Saturday nignt in the High-street . Between _eevenand eight o ' clock several of the townspeople had assembled . Two or three of them carried one on their shoulders . They came up Peascod-Btreet . Tbey were of the lower orders . They went into the White Hart-yard , where they remainedsome five minutes . They came out , and then stopped opposite Mr . Lovegrove ' s , who had something to say to them . They were " hurraying , " and the noise was increasing as they went on . There were from twenty to thirty , all civilians . ' After Mr . Lovegrove spoke to them , the man got off the backs of the others . It was George Townsend , and he had got his face
smutted all over . They stopped opposite Lovegrove ' s for a quarter ef an hour talking , and then they took the man on their shoulders again , and went down Thames-street . One of Mr . Lovegrove ' s windows was broken . Witness followed tliem , and against the Red Lion door , atthe end of Beer-lane , Baw three Life Guardsmen standing . The greater part ofthe peoplestopped and cried out "Walter for ever !" The soldiers cried out" Reid for ever ! " Some ofthe townspeople jostled alittle againstthesoldiers . and the soldiers at them , butno assault was committed . While they were standing there a young man came out of Sharratt ' s with one of Mr . Walter ' s flags . _ThomaB Flowers was his name . Young Wellman was beside him . The mob followed Flowers ud the street .
When opposite Mr . Agar ' s witness tried to take the flag away from Thomas Flowers , the younger , seeing the raeb increasing , and to stop the disturbance , but was not able to do so . He left the soldiers standing at the Red Lion door , for all he knew , for he saw no more of tliem then . He followed the mob down the High-street to the Black Horse , where they went to , going into the house , flag and all . After they had Been there about ten minutes , two of the Life Guards came out of the public-house , followed by Townsend and several others , and went into the town . Mr . Gillman and witness went into the Black Horse , and told them ( the mob ) if they brought their colours again into the street , they would take them into custody , and possession of the flag at the same time .
_jUid not know the names of the three men who were with _ToTvnBend , Shortly ofter that two or three more came out of the liouse and went into the town . Benham ( a policeman ) was with him part of the time . When he left the Black Horse he returned into the heart of . the town . Just as he got Opposite to Mr . 'H _olderness ' s , in the High-street , fie was met bj some one who said , "Cut away , policemen ; there ' s the soldiers a murdering the people up in the town . " Benham and witness ran up Church-lane , as they saw some people making up Castls-hill ; there were military with them . Ran round Church-lane to meet them . Found Townsend lying in the road , opposite Mr . Thurnwood ' s door , andhelped to put him on a stretcher . There was a mob of people about him , and Adam ' s young man . __ _•*»*¦ _& .. — .- *¦*—

There were aW four or five at the time that he first saw Mr . Blunt speak to them , and then several more came un and t & ey all went off down Peascod-street They had scarcely turned the corner , before the mob began hissing them , _^ he soldiers then turned back _aSd came up the street swearing .

They went as far as the Castle Inn tl Mi-. Blunt tried to persuade them to go back t young man named Dawson tried to persuade the iW ner to go back . At length the soldiers went _bS down Peascod-street , and the police formed a li _,, _^ the top , and would not let any of the inhabitant pass . The number of the soldiers decreased 2 time they came back up Peascod-street . The ma i , part ofthe soldiers had got thick sticks , not thecancf they usually carry . Some were walking-sticks _W so _™ e . much thicker—they were short sticks . ' William Gibbons , policeman , was the next witne _* sworn , his evidence was mostly in corroboration _S that ol Dobson . He added that some of _tliemilitarv had sticks . Some were broomsticksand oil * _.
, , sticks cut from the hedges . You could see the knots where they had been cut . One or two townsmen had sticks . One was a short one , about fourteen inches long . Townshend was the man who had this irn i Dl i d n _, _, see T ? WD 9 nend knocked down . Saw Hill knocked down by one of the soldiers . Would not know the soldier again . When Hill was knocked down the mob had dispersed , running away irom the soldiers in all directions . The people always tried to get away from the soldiers aB fast as they could . Two other policemen were examined , and m the course of their evidence deposed that the soldiers were armed with large and heavy sticks . Mr . John Clode _. jun . ( amember ofthe town-council ) then came forward as a witness . He saidunon _beinir
, sworn , I was passing up Thames-street , _aoouteight _0 clock on Saturday evening , when I saw & crowd opposite to Mr . Lovegrove ' s , which passed down lhames-street . I followed the mob , to -endeavour to persuade them not to commit a breach of the peace 1 left them at the Swan Inn . On returning towards the Alarlcet-house , I saw a number of soldiers , armed with thick sticks , striking the people , and pubuinir them in all directions about the Market-place and that part of High-street . One of the soldiers struck a man close to me with one of these sticks . After reeling a little while he fell on the curb-stone . While on the ground , the soldier struck him several time ' _, with his stick , and , stooping down , with his fists , and alter that kicked him in the side in a most brutal
manner . At that moment another soldier came uo and struck the man when on the ground . The _cronil cried out "Shame ! " The soldiers left the man Iyinc there , and one of them , after saying , " Well , who ' s the next ? " struck at a man who was passir .-but he evaded the intended blow . The aoidierg then rushed across the High-street , and struck _, amongst the rest , in the Market-place , a womai * whose screams were dreadful . A little boy , who was with his mother , was attacked and struck by the soldiers . At Bannister's corner a woman cried out "Walter for ever ! " when a soldier struck out at her with his fist . About halt-past ten o ' clock , alter j had arrived at home , several soldiers passed my house , hooting and shouting , on the road to their barracks .
Mi " . Blunt hoped the witness would remember more particularly as to the hour at wliich he saw the soldiery . He could himself state that tliere was not a soldier in the streets after five minutes past ten . Major Williams _^ aid the roll was called over at ten o'clock , and he conld state that every soldier was piesent in barracks except one , . at twenty minutes pass ten . Mr . Clode said , he had already sworn that it was at least half-past ten when he saw the soldiers . He was at home , and therefore had the means of knowing the time . His wife and sister were there , and could swear to it also . Mr . Blunt suggested thore might be a mistake . Mr . Clode ( emphatically ) . —No , * I swear to ir _. There couldbenomietakeat all .
The Rev . Mr . M'Crea could state of his own knowledge that after twenty minutes past ten he saw twelve soldiers , at least , standing by the Criterion beer-shop . They were Life Guardsmen , and they were not ofthe band . Mr . William John Astle , of Brunswick-terrace , examined : He deposed to having seen on Saturday night from fifty to sixty of the Life Guards assaulting the people , and knocking down with their thick sticks men , women , and children . One woman he saw knocked down in the Market-place , and while she was on the ground two or three of the military struck her with tbeir sticks . Thinks she waa taken to Mr . Foster ' s , the druggist .
George King , shopman to Mr . Adams , grocer , was the next witness . He deposed to having seen Townshend strike a soldier , with his fist _, on the mouth , without the least provocation . Before this soldier could recover himself , another Life Guardsman struck Townshend onthe head with a stick , and then he fell . Neitherof these soldiers had taken any part in the affray . Neither broonis nor sticks were aold out of the shop on Saturday evening . Robert Wayman , a working man , after stating that he was cut on the head with a broomstick bj the military , deposed that he saw five or six soldiers supplied with brooms at the shop of Mr . Adams , which they paid for ; and that they then cut off the birch end and went amongst the crowd with the
handles , and knocked about right and left . This witness stated that he saw Mr . AdamB in the shop at the time the soldiers purchased the brooms . Mr . Adams , his shopman ,. James Strange , and his porter , Joseph Perryman , all most positively stated that not a single broom had been sold in the shop during the whole of that day . Mr . Blunt here stated , on behalf of the Major ( who he said was new in office ) , that the further _inquiry would be adjourned till the 14 th ; and that ii in the meantime any warrants were applied for against parties who could be identified as guilty ei assaults , they would be granted , and the cases gone into without delay . The proceedings were then adjourned .
_AnjouRNEn Investigation . — On _Thurfday the magisterial inquiry into the conduct of the military , atthe conclusion ofthe proceedings of theeleotion , ok the evening of Saturday last , was resumed this morning in the justice-room , at the Town-hall , which was densely crowded . Mr . Rupert Kettle , barasterat-law , who was one of the candidates to represent the borough , was present , and in the course ofthe proceedings administered occasional but severe cast .-gations to the just-asses on the bench , and the impudent attorney " voules , Colonel Reid ' smanofallwork . Three witnesses were examined ; Sarah Seagrove , John Gouls , and Jonathan Gilder , who made oath
that they saw the soldiers purchase the brooms at Adams's shop , strip the birch from the handlos , and with the handles proceed to assault and beat the inhabitants in the way described by previous witnesses . John Martin ( servant to Mr . Leigh , one of the _ma * - _gistrates ) voluntarily came forward to be examined . He had two black eyes ; his right eye , which had been much injured , was bandaged up . His account oftheassaultB made on him by the soldiers showed the greatest brutality on the part of the military _ruifiana . This miserable farce termed an "investigation , " in which there are no defendants , but in which the magistrates do their utmost to screen the military , was again adjourned till Monday next .
