that justice shall be " done to them here . It will be time enough to think of the wholesale expatriation of hundreds of thousands , or millions of workers from "fatherland , " when all its lands are fully tilled , when each man , willing and able to labour , shall have been put in possession of an independent Labour Field , _and his full participation in the fruits of his _teili 3 secured to him by just and equitable laws , and a fair share of the Representation itself .:
When Labour , under these circumstances , ceases to maintain a family—when the soil is exhausted , as compared with the people to be sustained by its products—when no more wastes , or partially-cultivated tracts remain to be fertilised b y Labour— -then we shall approve of the plans now advocated by scheming societies , and selfish Land speculators ; but until then , we say to every honest working man : " Stay and try to make the England that is to be , better thaa the England that is . " He is no true son of the soil who deserts her now .

To The Working Clas Ses. • Words Are Thi...
TO THE WORKING CLAS SES . Words are things , and a small drop of ink Palling—like dew—upon a thought , produces That which makes thousands , perhaps million" , think . ' . Bx » or * . THE FRENCh _* REPUBLIG . ' Beoihk Proletarians , It is not my intention to make the French Republic the subject of everlasting ' comment in thMe letters ; on the contrary , 1 hope to devoto my pea and invite your attention to other subjects , _gracing home questions of vital importance _^ For this week , however , I again return to the passing history oi the _Fiench'Republio'
. . .. The result of the late Paris election is , on the whole , cheering for the friends of democracy . . W _' true that only one of the three democratic candidates has been returned , but , on the other hand , toe whole of the government candidates have been defeated . The eleotion of Louis Napomoh , and Fould , the banker , is as much a protest against tbe existing order of things-sham Republicanism but veritable despotism—as is the election of Raspail . Fould has been returned by the favourers of Legitimaoythe men of wealth , and all whom those sons of Mammon could influence , oorrupt , or intimidate . ¦ Louis _NAPOLBONhas been returned by a motley multitude , who have nothing in common but their favourites name , and dieaffeotion towards the existing order ot things . The _Napoleonists include that portion of
the French people wbo yet blindly worship a phantom of the past ; those Frenchmen who wouia prefer any kind of regal rale to the reign of the _sovereign people ; those who from want of trade or employment are impatient for a change of any sort ; believing matters cannot become worse ; and lastly , those who desire to employ the ' pretender' a 8 _an"f " _Btromeak for the destruction oi _Cavaibhac and nis fellow brigands , with the ulterior design of throwing away the' broken tool' when * used up . ' Of a very different stamp are the men who voted for Raspail , Tho ** . * - , and Cabet , and succeeded in returning the celebrated prisoner of Vincennes * Doubtless different ¦ hades of opinion exist in this party ; some assimilate to Barbis , some to Louis Blanc , and some to _Cibet and other Communist teaohers . But all agree
in demanding tbe emancipation of labour ; all insist that ' the revolution having been accomplished by the people shall be _woifeed / or tte people ; ' _ril tally to one * cry '— ' the democratic and social Republio 1 ' Mirabeau divined the secret of Robespierre ' s success , which he foresaw , when he observed;— 'That -man will succeed for he believes all that he says . ' The same holds good of tbe ultra-democrats of Paris . They are earnest men . They are men who have a principle ; and to the triumph of that principle have devoted their lives . The Christians who in tke two first centuries of their faith ' s history gave up their bodies to tbe sword , the flames , and the ravenouB monsters of the Soman circus , rather tban abandon their creed , were not more thoroughly in earnest than
are the men who—in sp ite _ofthemassaereof Jnnehave just -testified their unshaken fidelity to their principles , _anfi their unfaltering determination to accomplish the triumph of theirideas . Thus viewed , the 110 , 752 votes recorded by ihe motley multitude of Louis Napoleon ' s adherents sink into utter insignificance when contrasted with the 66 , U 63 votes polled by Ra _* fail . Again , what though Fooss was elected by "J 9 . 891 voteB in opposition to the-62 , 476 votes given for _Th _6 bb , and tbe 62 . 375 for Cabst ; the _oarrnpt , cowardly , selfish , aad intimidated _thsusands who voted for the Plutocrat , ¦ _catrnot be depended _« n in the future * whereas the "devotion of the phalanx who supported the two social _Teformers is certain , and the increase of their strength is as inevitable .
It is true tbat some of the royalist papers bare -attempted to Bhow that the -vote of the Red Repub , lican party has fallen from ten to 'fifteen thousand 'below the number polled for _Lsgb & ohb . Protjbhoh , _andPiBQEaLEBOuXjin theearly part of Jane last . ; iat the same time these papers cannot conceal that tbe moderate' vote has to proportion _still'more—mcob _, 'more—fallen eff .. But the ten , twelve , or fifteen ; thousand-missing votes of the FRed Republicans are easily accounted for . The thousands of workmen _, massacred in June , or since transported , or still remaining in prison ,-will go far towards accounting _^ for that decrease . Again , great numbers of the ¦ owners who voted = in June _. _have-since then beensent ' into _thedepartmentp to labour < t werk provided for them in their several places of sojonrn . Lastly , it must be borne in mind that they have been deprived
¦ of the means of organisation whwh they commanded in June . The journals devoted to the interests of > the working men which were then published , have . - with one or two exceptions , been extinguished , and : the clubs suppressed . All these circumstances ! might account for the loss of a greater . number than ; even'I 5 : < H 10 votes . 'When ,-on the other hand , the ; avowed partisanship of tbe government—the intimi-i dation and corruption employed by ithe Plutocrats— _^¦ the-bitter hostility and lying calumnies of almost the ; entire , press—the state of siege with all ita terrors —; tke . death , banishment , acd impriBsnment of thou- ; j sands of tha most devoted democrats— - " when all ! these adverse _eircumitaneeB are taken into _ceroide- ; _raUen , 'theBueces _*—though partial—of the 'Red Re-i publicans-must be pronounced wonderful ; as their union and energy have been most-admirable .
_Ofall the democratic _chiefs . not previously . elected to fee Assembly , Raspail as the-most feared and ! hated'by the . bourgeoisie . Though not the chief of any « eot , like Cabst , his inflexible devotion to the ' demearatio cause —his rare talents , —his pure'Conduct in _^ 11 the relations of life , * nd -bis practical and antirtEg philanthropy , have madehim _> beloved by the ; men of 'the barricades .

Jn addition to Paris , Raspail was almost returned for iLyonc . The proletarians of that oityi voted _for-him to a man , but the _iffitr _^ _MisieJobtaining ! the support of the _^ ignorant population of the rural cantons , were enabled to return their _owncaadidate by a majority of a few votes over ihose reoerded for the demoortitiOiChief .
The results of the election have altogether over _, thrown the calculations of' onr best possible instructors , ' who peedioted * that the Red candidates would be at the bottom of the poll , or , at the _bsat , . not _obitain twenty thousand -votes . The Tm & i , furious at _aeeing its predictions falsified , raves about' a ( Characterless , rebellious , and . desperate horde ; ' but / . dolefully concludes with the admission that 'the Insurrectionists of _Jnneare again a power in the state .

' ' This' adds ihe Chronicle , Ms surely sinister and ominous . ' The correspondent of the _Sfie & _ffOB . bears his testimony to the union and devotion ef the democrats— 'They iave , ' says he , been _diperssd _. tdismantled , transported ; t . nd , like the earth-wcrm cnt into pieces , they have reunited and become « ne again . . * . * They were summoned b y their leaders in the name oi desolated wives , slain brothers , proscribed children ; and to a man they voted tbe same list * * Fearful ana melancholy to say , nothing has been changed by that terrible battle of June—nothing _>'
Brother Proletarians , this admitted dismay of our enemies should make our hearts leap with joy . Alluding to the discipline and energy of tbe democrats , the writer in the Spectator says : — 'What an example , and what a lesson for the other party . ' Rather let it be Baid : _—rFfiot an _essample , what a lesson for ihe working men of every other country ' . Were the proletarian classes of Europe generally inspired by the lofty virtues and dauntless heroism of the matchless men of Paris , they might utterly uproot the existing system of fraud and slavery . The enemies ef Labour denounce the proletarians of the French capital , as ' modern barbarians ; ' but , their BubJimeheroiBHi considered , they might with a muoh
nearer approach to the troth , be styled the Greeks of the 19 th century . ' In one respect they present higher claims to our admiration than the followers of either _L-sohibas , Mumadsb , orEPAMiKONi ) AS ; tbey struggle for a greater principle than ' nationahty 'they struggle to establish the sovereignty of JU _£ . _TICE-politicaI , Bocial , nniversal JUSTICE . The Swiss , the Poles , Bnd some other nations , have presented examples of heroic endurance , and indomitable bravery , in defence of their national independence , wbich may be not unfavourably compared with the _deathlesss deeds retarded in Grecian story . But in wbat conntry or time bave men been found to match the Parisian combatants for equality ? France is the teacher and leader of the world .
I make no account of Louis Napoleon ' s eleotion for several departments in addition to Paris . Certainly he bas been elected by men who are anything but enlightened and sincere Republicans , but the great majority of whom may be converted into ardent democrats . Indeed tbat conversion would have been effeoted before now , bad the Republio been made a verity instead of a mere name , fhe words 'Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity , ' may excite momentary enthusiasm , bat enthusiasm based on such a foundation cannot endure . The Eoffmog * " »* »» rpnnire deeds . Let the Republic exhibit the
realities of Justice , and forthwith all who have been hostile from ignorance and suffering will become its defenders . The Republic hitherto has been barren of _itapretoised fruits ; and , therefore , it has eo many enemies ; therefore the _» imperial' pretender has so many friends . Bat suppose bim President , suppose him even Emperor , and the very name of the _Republic swept away , he will be unable to retain bis post * tioE . The creature of the bourgeoisie , they will not allow bint lo do good even should to be bo _fcoliaea ,

Moreover , France muBt be a Republio . Complete defeat and subjugation of the Republicans would be but the prelude to a new series of _seoret _couBpiraoieB and open insurrections , until once more the Republio was proclaimed . Again , aBham Republio , suoh as at present exists , oannot last for any length of time ; the real Republic-call it the Red Republic , or the Republic demooratio and social , or what you will—the real Republio is iaevitable . Once that such men as . _Rafpail are at the head of France , the Republic will make itself understood by astB , not words , and then _goodbje to 'pretenders . '
The admirable speeoh of Ledru Rollis , delivered at the banquet held on the 22 nd inst ., in commemo . ration of the foundation of the Republio of 1792 , may be regarded as one ef the signs of tbe timeB . It proclaims the thoughts whioh agitate the hearts of millions of Frenchmen at this moment . That speech is a voice for the gagged masses , proclaiming their conviction that the counter-revolutionists have b * en allowed to go too far with their intrigues and tbeir treasons ; and that other men than those who at present _inle , and otber measures than have hitherto been adopted . must be had recourse to to save the commonwealth . _Lbbru _RoLLwisright-tfwo'foM _. KMJ' _- / , boldness , and indomitable resolution , will save the Republic ; and 1 do not despair tbat men with hesds to conceive , hearts to dare and hands to execute
, , the measures necessary to _ene-ure the publio safety , will be found . Lbdmj . Rollin ie hardly deep enough in colour for my taste ; but , nevertheless , were I a member of the French democracy , I would accept his programme as excellent for the time being . The leader of 'the Mountain' is perfectly right in saying that , in spite of the pretended poverty of the really rich , tbere is no want of money in France . It is the grand feature of all conspiracies ef the rich against the poor , that whenever the latter obtain a _temporaiy advantage on the field of politioal combat , they are almost immediately again overthrown by hunger , the premeditated consequence of the withdrawal of money from publio circulation . To find this money there only wants , as LbdbdRollik has well said , an enterprising and resolute man .
There are certain statesmanlike views broaohed in this speech of the ex-Minister of the Interior , tbat will go far to exalt his character as a pablio man , and rally _ts his banner those who had abandoned . him undtr the impression that he was not up to the mark .. His noble protest against the infamous desertion and betrayal of Italy by the French government will thrill the hearts of millions of Frenchmen . His vindication of the German democracy will be hailed by a shout of fraternity from the other side of the Rhine . Lastly , his indignant denunciation of the English alliance will Gnd an echo in the breasts of millions both at home and abroad ; not excepting the _downtrodden proletarians of this country . TFe very well understand that the alliance of the English government with the government of the Republic , is the greatest misfortune that could befall . Europe ; for we know that
the arch-intriguer , _Palmbrsios , never patronises 'the liberal cause' in any oountry that he does not do so for the purpose of strangling the object of his pretended affection . If Cavaignac and his Cabinet are not corrupt , they must be mad . Traitors or fools they must be . Whichever they are , they betray the Republio and csnspire the destruction of European freedom , when they all } themselves with the English _aristooraoy . The heart-union of the French with the English people is to be earnestly desired , but the alliance of tbe French Republic with the English government oan only be productive of deplorable results to thecause of progress , Behold the results thuB far *—Poland-silenced by her assassins , _BLtaly re-conquered by the barbarian ? , and _France brought to a state of degradation infinitely more base than tbat to whi < _i she waa reduoed under _< Gtozot and Louis Philippe , The interests of all nations demand that this perfidious alliance should perish .
All the infamous journals both of Paris and London , have joined in & charivari _sgainst Lbdbu Rolwh for his speech—an unanswerable proof of itB worth . The CoN 6 ri _« n * rienNBii and the _Journal des _Djsbats , theTmRS and the Mornikg Chronicle , join _ohoras to the tame tuae of vituperation . Even _Lamariine ' b journal , the _Dibn Public , follows on the samo side . This _laBt-named journal joins our Grunlichin welcoming 'Count' Mole to a seat in the National Assembly . Molb _, the toady , and tool of Njpolbok ! the devoted servitor of the restored Bourbons ! and not less the devoted instrument of
Louis _BuaiPPB the perfidious ' . ' That Mole who so much admires the 'blessed despotism of Nicholas , thathe wonld fain ally the fortunes of _Franoe to those of Russia . ; tbat he should be received with acclamations by the ' moderate' majority of the Assembly will net excite _sainueh surprise as regret—regret that _thetfSth of May was so sadly . mismanaged 5 but that _sLamartini" Bheuld offer * the kiss of life' to this hoary-headed tool of tyranny , proves that the worthy poet is bo admirably < versed in'the art of sinking , ' that even the Dead -Sea would not-refuse him a -songenial refuge at the bottom of its _; fitthy waters .
A great howl is being raised > by tbe _pressrgang , against Democracy , * n account of recent events at _fFranbfort . I allude particularly to . the killing of Prince _Licnsowsxi . The violentdeath of any man , whether prince or . _prcUiaire , is to be deplored . & ut it wonld be well if the press would stick to-facts , and not out-Greenacre ( Greenacre by telling .. such _coek-aaa-bull stories as . the _Mobnihg Po & Thaaitold of the hundred deaths the prince was put to . Ic woald have been well , also , if the _prescgsnerally had stated certain faots which have been allowed to ooze out in the _coreespondenoe af one or two papers ;; to wit-.: that' the mob' were in the first place _exasperated ; at seeing the prince riding _towards the town ' s gate with the view of meeting the artillery , which
_waa . _about ts enter for the purpose of-silencing the popnlar agitation . ; and secondly , that en being , hooted by ' the mob , '' the prince , ' a highspirited and haughty man , " replied by threats . and ! menaoing gestures , and , . being on horseback , at ! ¦ tempted to ride down . one of the people . Hence the ! exasperation of the multitude was not altogether ; without provocation , 1 lament the death . of the ; prince—whether the stories _, told of the manner of his ' , death . contain any truth , or not ;—but I also lament the victims belonging to _thexanks of the _people , who : were . tern io pieces and pulveri & ed by grape shot For : these ( victims the press-gang of course have no pity , Nor have ( they one word of _Bjmpa * hy for the unfortunate people of Messina—apopujation of 80 , 009 souls ' givea over to massacre and violation . Think of a , large and beautiful city in flames—think that you hear the shrieks of women and . children out-echoing the hellish thunder of cannon halls , rockets ) and I
bomb-shells—think what must have . been the damnable atrocities committed by the Neapolitan ruffians , after the oity had been captured when a correspondent of tbe daily-journals had to write : — 'For the honour of tike age in which we live , I will not publish the horrors I have learned from one who witnessed them . _Erery crime we know of was committed on person ? of every age and sex . ' Yet for the victimBof these horrors the journals have no sympathy . The death of one 'highspirited and haughty' prince is a subject for endless lamentations ; but when thousands perish , or suffer worse than death , at the _bandslof the brutal tools of a blood * Japping king , there are no tears for them !

Louis Blanc. The Following Appeared A Fe...
LOUIS BLANC . The following appeared a few days since in the Patrie , one « f the lying _bourgeois-journals published in Paris : — _Oao of enr friend * has communicated to u- a letter dated _London , the 19 th , from wbich wo ma _* ie the fol * lowing extract : — After having read the letter of M . Louis Blanc , ad . _dreised to the Befobhe _, in which be denies having Intl . mate relations with Louis Napoleon , I was not a little surprised to meet him at Richmond , at Louis
Buonaparte ' s , where I dined with him on Saturday last . He was seated between two Protestant clergymen , who speaking Frenoh , pressed him with _questions on his ayg ! tern of tbe organisation of labour . He defended falmielf vehemently against the accusations whioh weigh npon him , nnd described himself as a victim offered np toreaction . Notwithstanding the austerity ol Mb Republican principles , M . Louis Blano is not sorry to appear among the English aristocracy , under the patronage of Louis Napoleon . He exhibits himself in the carriage of the prince , aad takes pleasure in forgetting the ingratitude of his country ia tbe gilded drawin g-rooms of Richmond . '
In answer to this vile fabrication Louis Blano haa published the following reply addressed to the Patbie : — Sib . —A letter purporting to bave been written in London , and whioh yeu bave published , represents me dining at Richmond at the house of Louis B . uonsparte riding In his carriage , and appearing under his patronage among the English aristocracy . Theperson who is said to have written this letter , says he dined with me at Richmond . To his allegations I reply—that I have never dined with Lonis Buonaparte either atRlohmond or elsewhere ; that Louis Buonaparte does not reside at Richmond bnt in London ; that I do not even know whether he has a carriage ; and that I have never been introduced by him in society anywhere . I should like to know the person who pretends to have dined ntth mo at Louis _Baoasparte ' _s , and I only wait for his naming himself to confound him .

The _following letter appeared in the Dailt News of Tuesday : — Sib , — Asa lover of _justioe and impartiality , I trust yon will give insertion to the following in your impartial and uncompromising paper . Having seen nnder yesterday ' s police sheet , headed , Ihe Committal of another Chartist Leader , ' viz . G . B . Mailtos , Si , South . _amptoB-street , Strand , surgeon , that Powell , the _carpenter , who gave evidence against the other Chartists , in his examination at _Bow-ttteet , did say tbat it was proposed by Brewster , his leader , tbat the Crispin pnblio house , in Milton-street , should be the place ef renduvous at twelve o ' clock the nrxt day , viz . the 18 th oi August ; now I do here most emphatically deny that the Crispin , In which I havo lived for the last six months , bas received , to my knowledge , or that ef my family , _aay of the Chartist leader . * , nnd tbat Powell , who states
that he accordingly went there on tbe day _appointtd , never entered my house . Could you well Imagine , sir , that if such a meeting were to take place , particularly wh- > n we consider that so much secreoy roust oi coarse distinguish that body , as coming within the meaning of the law , tbat I would sot t ave had some knowledge of the matter , snd that tbe landlord would not , as a matter of course , be apprised of suoh meeting ! No , it were foolish to consider it ; and as to knowing this Powell , or that he and I had ever exchanged a sentiment , would be indeed , * great libel en my oharaoter , I give , therefore , -tbis publio contradiction to his statement , andean hardly belitve tbat a man wbo would make ia court suoh tm nnfonnded statement would be deterred or abashed from laying anything .

Extraordinary Disclosures. Last Week Wil...
EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES . Last week William Lindfield , Riohard Orpin , Mary Ann © ryden , and Spencer Lindfield were taken into _oustody on the serious _charge of endangering the life ofayoung woman named Elizi Wilscn , by induoing her to take steps to procure abortion . The declaration of the young woman Eliza Wilson , taken in the presence of Mr Samuel Elyard , a county magistrate , was handed in by that gentleman , who occupied a seat on the bench . It was aB follows : — ' I am in my 82 ad year , and having had criminal connexion with Richard Orpin , and suspecting myself in the family-way . I mentioned my suspicions to him . He replied , 'Stop till Monday , and we will go together to a woman in East-lane , Walworth , and that I _oeed not trouble myself for three or fonr
months . He went with me on Monday , the Hh of September , to East-lane , bat we could not find out the woman , and m the following day I went by myself , but did not succeed in finding her . I saw Mrs Dryden , who . resides in York-street , Walworth , to whom I mentioned that I was in the family-way , and informed her I wished to get rid of it . She said it would be all right if I would pay her h ,, whioh I gave her . She then gave me a box of pills and a bottle of stuff , 'which did cot have the expected effect . Mrs Dryden then went with me on the Wednesday to Mrs Lindfield ' _s , in Prior-plaoe _, East-lane , Walworth , a herb shop . Mrs Dryden said , I have got a friend of mine came to see you . Mrs Lindfield , without asking any questions , said , * I will take her upstairs
< direotly , ' and shortly after did so , and told me to lay on the bed on my left Bide . I did so , and she then performed an operation with some instrument . I went again on the 9 * h , and she used the aame instrument again ; saying , ¦— . I slept there that night , and paid Mrs _Liudfisld £ 2 10 s , on the first day , and she gave Mrs Dryden a few shillings to take me there . I went to Mrs Lindfield _' s again on the llth , when she again used the instrument , and when I returned home I was very ill . I told Mrs Lindfield-that my father thought 1 was ill , and she said , ' Nonsense , you are all right . ' Riohard Orpin promised to pay the £ 210 s . but he haa not done so . The _yeung man called Mrs Lindfield ' s son was present on eaoh occasion I went , and was perfectly aware of the business I wis on , , Eliza Wilson .
Mrs Elizabeth Baker , the wife of a baker , stated she resided next door to the house of _MrsLinfield ; that she had teen a number of women brought to the prisoner ' s house in the family way , and all , or at least the great majority of them , left in about a fortnight . They generally oame in oabs , and were taken away in similar vehicles ; some of them by gentlemen . Mr Norton—Have you noticed that some of the females wore more advanced in pregnanoy than others 1 Witness—I have , Sir . Mr Norton—and you say that all left there In abont a fortnight ? _Witnesa—Yea , sir , that was about the time . Mr Norton —Have you noticed that infants have been ' taken from there ? Witness—No , sir , I never , saw a single baby removed from the bouse . ( This answer _produced a considerable sensation amongst the crowd in
the court . ) Mr Norton—Did you not observe any of those numerous women take away their infants with thera ? Witness—not one of them , sir . Mr J . Clark , a tea dealer , also residing next door to the prisoner Lindfield corroborated the testimony of the last witness , and added that , for some considerable time himself and his family were annoyed by a nuisance of an intolerable description , and having _strorg suspicions as to the cause , he had a drain which led from the ceaBpool in the prisoner ' s garden , and passed under his kitchen , opened , expecting to find something improper there , but did not find any thing of the description he anticipated . He had a grating placed in the drain ' bo as to prevent any substance passing through it , and since then the Btencb , as of putrid matter , was not so bad . The prisoners were remanded .
UOBB STARTLING DISCLOSURES . W . Lindfield , S . Lindfield , R . Orphin , and Mary Ann Dryden were again brought up on Saturday on the more seriouB charge of having _caused Elizi Wilson ' s death , she having expired early on Friday morning . An inquest on the body waB held on Saturday , and will be found reported below . Superintendent Robinson said that from circumstances that oame to his knowledge since the last examination , he did not think it expedient to offer any further evidence against the prisoners on the present occasion , but should _nqueit a remand to a future day . Air Robinson added that the premises ocoupied by both the female prisoners had been thoroughly searched , and nothing of a suspicions character had been fonnd . Be , however , had caused an extraot to be made from the' occurrence book' kept at the station house , and found that during the last twelvemonths the followin g dead bodies of infants were found in the
neighbourhood , viz .: — ' September i , 1847 : found , in a dttoh in Tarlton-place , _Walworth-oommon , the body of a female child , newly born ; verdiot , ' Found dead . '—Ootober 27 : found , in Albany-crescent , Albany-road , the body of a newly-born male child ; _verdict , * Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . ' —March 6 , 1848 : found , in a privy at 4 , East lane , the body of a newly-born male child ; verdiot , ' Wilful murder againBt Borne person or pereons unknown . '— May 11 : found , in the Surrey Canal , the body of a new-born male child ; verdict , Found dead . '—August 29 : found , in tbe area of the house , No . 17 , Lacy-street , _Penten-place , the body of a male infant ; verdiot , ' _Founds dead , '—Maroh 17 : found , in tho garden of No . 20 , Apello-buildingg , the body ot & Mw \ _y-bMa male child ; veioiot , ' "WiMw murder against some person or persons unknown . " —Mr Norton , on reading over the above list , observed that all ( his was highly suspicious , and tke prisoners

were remanded to a future day . Mr Games applied to have tho young man , Lindfield , admitted to bail , but Mr Norton refused to gran t the application . Sirce the last examination the oase had assumed , by the death of the unfortunate young woman , a more _serious appearance . In the oourse of tbe examination two numbers of a morning paper , of October , 1826 , were handed to the magistrate , in which were given , under the head of Union Police Court , lengthened reports of an investigation touching the parentage of the prisoner , Wiliiam Lindfield . It _appeara that a Mrs Burrows , a widow lady of respectability _, had . in order to conceal her shame from
her family and friends , been privately confined at the house of Mrs Lindfield . Mrs Burrows , shortly after the birth of the infant , felt bo convinced that a deception had been practised on her , and tbat the iafant given to her had been substituted for her own , that she . did not pay it common attention , and it waa ultimately discovered by tho parish authorities in a frightful state of emaciation , with the bones nearly protruding through the Bkin , and the flesh of its thumbs quite raw , from the little creature sucking its flesh , wbich afforded it nourishment . Mis Lindfield ultimately _agreed to take the infant and bad brought him up as her son .
_IKQTJBST ON BLl A WILSON . On Saturday , before Mr Carter , at tho King ' s Head , Norwood . Thojury having been sworn the coroner proposed that they should view the body and hear evidence of tbe identification , in order tbat he might be enabled to issue the ordets for its interment . After tbat he should support the propriety of adjourning the it quiry for a lew days in " order that the postmortem examination migbt be satisfactorily completed , and the whole oi the evidence collected . This course would not only lead to a saving of time to the jury , but of expense to tbe _csonty . — Attended by the summoning officers , the coroner and jury then proceeded to the residence of the lather of the deceased in _Woodoote-place , and were
admitted into the chamber wbere the corpse lay . There they found Messrs Chapman and Ray , surgeons , The visit of the jury interrupted the examination of these two professional gentlemen . The faoe of the deceased , whose features in life must bave been prepossessing , exhibited all the manifestations of intense protracted suffering , and the characteristics ot a painful death . The forehead was contracted , the muscles of the face were rigid , and the hands olenohed . A ahert time sufficed to satisfy tbe jury , and they returned , leaving the medical gentlemen to resume their inquiry . On their return to the inquest room the ooroner eaid it would be sufficient for the present account to call a witness to identify the body , and prove the death of the deceased . —John
Benson Wilson , the father of tbe deceased , was then oalled , He is a venerable man , nearly eighty years of age , and his distress of mind created a considerable sympathy amongst all present , fie stated that he was not in business , but lived on his property , consisting of the house he lived in , and otber premises in Norwood . The deceased , whose body the j ury had j _ust seen , was bis daughter . Her name was Eliza _Wiison . She waB thirty-one years of age , and was unmarried . He saw her last alive about eleven o ' clock on Thursday , and saw her dead about Bix o ' clook on Friday . —The coroner said , it would be uBeleBB to carry the it quiry farther , as all would depend on the medical evidence which was not now ready to be adduced . On that point , however , he
had to ask the jury whether they were of opinion tbat it would be desirable to have a second medical witness . He put the question to them becauae under the law he had no authority to direct nn examination by more than one medical man , but the law enabled him , on a requisition from the jury , to call in further medical aid . —The jury , without hesitation , consented to a second medical man being called in . —One of the jury inquired whether it would not be necessary to have the prisoner brought before them at their next meeting . —The ceroner replied in the negative . The inquiry of the jury involved two
questions ; first , tbe cause of death , and secondly , the means by which that event had been originated . It was not _necessary to have the prisoner in custody , before thejury to enable them to farm a judgment on these two questions . Addressing the inspector , _Emmerson , the coroner said that all the witnesses who had been examined elsewhere , as well as Ms Elyard , the magistrate , who had taken tbe deposition of the deoeased in articulo mortis , must be in attendance at the next sitting of the court . Tha warrant for interment was then perfected , and the jury having been bound in recognisances to appear a ain , the court was adjourned to a future day .
COMMITTAL OP IHB PRISONERS FOR WILFCL _MURDER . On Thursday , the inquiry touching tne death of Eliza Wilson was resumed , and after an investigation which lasted eight hours , thejury returned a verdict against the woman Spencer Lindfield ef ' Wilful Murder , and against Richard Orpin and Mary Anne Dryden , of being accessories to the murder before the iact . No verdict waB returned in reference to William Lindfield , the reputed son of the woman Spedcer Lindfield .

THE POWELL PLOT . TRIALS AT THE OLD BAILEY . Satubdat , Sept . 23 .-The learned judges , Mr Jas . tice Erie and Mr Justice Williams , came into court soon after ten o ' clock , and the prisoner Dowiing was placed at the bar . The jury who had been during the night at the London Ccfiee house in the oharge of an officer , were then placed ia the box , and the tria proceeded . The Attorney General said he was prepared to oall a witness or two to speak to one or two minor points which it was necessary should be in the knowledge of the jury . Superintendent Evans deposed that on the 15 th of August he searched the coffee-house near the Lord Denman .
An assistant to Mr Darby , the firework maker , was called to prove that he had _onened one of the fireballs , and found tbat it contained two ounces and a half of gunpowder and a quantity of old nails . A slow matoh communicated with the powder from the outside , which would tana about half a minute , and afford an opportunity for any one to ignite it and throw it into a window , when , he Baid , if it oame in contact with a curtain or anything of that description , it would iu all probability have Bet the _hou-e on fire , Mr Pearse , the superintendent of tbe F division , proved that when the _prisoner was before tha magis _. trates at Bow-street , he made the following statement : — ' I do net wish to stand here as an English faotionist , but as an Irish nationalist .

not to disturb English _Booiety , but free my own country . I feel very well my position , and I mean to abide by the consequences . I barried on my business asa portrait painter at No 5 , Nassau-street , Middle- < sex Hospital . This waB the oase for the Crown . Mr lienealey then rose to address the jury for the prisoner . He said he did so with feelings of shame and sorrow , but with no feelings of apprehension for tho fate of his client . He must confess , however , . tbat he was ashamed at the Btrong _manifestation of : political feeling tbat had been evinced by tbe Attorney ' General io conducting this proseoution , and he con- sidered that he waa practising the syBtem pursued by * those infamous Attorney Generals who existed in the _t time of the StuaitB and the Tudors , and that he was 1
as bad as any of them . The laws of tbis country were always supposed to be equally administered to ) all classes , and a man was alwayB considered innocent t nntil he was found guilty by a jury , and a true law- yer had been very properly described as a minister of i truth , and a false lawyer should be looked upon as a _i minister of untruth . He asked them to look at the ) manner in wbioh the Attorney General had _canducted : I this prosecution . In consequence of the course ho ) ( Mr _Kenealey ) had taken , the Attorney General , , with an air of menace , had insisted upon trying the ) prisoner at once , on account of wbat he ( Mr r Kenealey ) had done . What had he done but proteot t the interest of his olient in accordance with what he a considered to be the law of the landand the conduct t
, of the Attorney General was the conduct of a false e lawyer , and not of a truo one . Again , he had most it ; improperly told the young gentleman at the bar that it ; he was a felon , and in Mb opinion that obseivatioa ni would have justified him in giving him an answer in nt the Bhertest word in the English language , and that it ; it would have been a fitting answer to the remark of > f ; the Attorney General . The only precedent for such _ibj oonduot was upon the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh , * ,, one of the greatest warriors , statesmen , andphilo Bo- a-. phers that England ever produced , when the infamous _isi Attorney General of tbat day , whose oharaoter had idi been handed down to posterity as infamous , upon the 101
prisoner endeavouring to speak in his defence , turned idi reund to him and called him a ' Bpider of hell . ' V Such oonduot had found a parallel in the nineteenth h , century , when an Attorney General dared to call a a prisoner a felon before he was convicted by a jury ,, r ... The Attorney General had likewise presumed to talk k of the folly of the Chartist proceedings , and said that it he blushed for him ( Mr Kenealey ) in consequence of if his having presided at one of these meetings . He ie could tell the Attorney General that if he made suoh h an observation in any ether place than the sanctuary y of a court of justice he would have _ohastised him for > r ' so doing _.
Mr Justice Erie here interposed , and Baid the eon- i >> duot of the learned counsel in expressing his intea- 1-fcioB to make a breach of the law was quite _unjusti- _i- > liable , and very improper . Mr Kenealey said , he had stated that he was m restrained from any such proceeding by tbe circum- a- > stance of his being in the sanctuary of a oourt of of ; justioe , and in the presence of the judges . What all right had the Attorney-General to say _thajjJfee-jA _* blushed for his conduot 1 His learned _meatf _^ trtr ! Bodkin , who was with him in support of _4 bewps > vo » v
