——AMERICAN Ai'l'AlKS . I 33 UX ) UXG AMERICA AND PRESIDENT POLK . ( From the Kew York Young America . ) ITheThe President , after the _usnal flourish about" _nomnal inal prosperity" and so forth , which , as usual , will tit best bear criticism , commences by informing us that ee urie union with Texas has been consummated , all but ee fo ; e formal ratification by Congress , in spite of the _iichiachinations of France and England to prevent that _ssultjsult . Since Mr . Polk was elected to perform this oork » rk there can be no fault found with the manner of ss exs execution . There are bad provisions in tho Texas const _onstitution on the subject of _Nclto Slaverv . and
nereiere are good ones on the Land and other subjects _Ffkctiflictlicr good or evil to the cause of human _pi-osress ¦ _i-ill hill be the predominant result of the admission of _"exaieras to the Union is problematical . iii Mexico has concluded to make a virtue of neccsiitv , itv _, and submit to the annexation with as good a Tractrace as possible . She is indebted to us fer certain " on' outrages npon the persons and property ofour citi-• _i-ensxns . " and Mr . Polk is _dunning her very hard lor " _^ _fa _regard to Oregon , the President state that _^ rcureat Britain rejected the offer of _WP ™ " _" ft * _llivi-Hvisionon the much talked of-lOth parallel , _thus lSuappomting . cn the one hand , those who clamoured 5 for Sir '' the whole of On _* ° _« or none ,, and , „„ to tie other , those who anticipated tnat the _President ' s rashness _vrauld involve us iu war . lie _re-Smmends that the _Wii notice required bv the _fnSneatv of 1 S 27 , ofa desire to terminate the joint _oc-££££ _M W _™*** _™ States ; that n Itketke meantime jurisdiction be extended oyer our cili-, _wn _<«» n _<; in Orcon ; that stockades and block-house
: r ortrorts he erected on the road to Oregon : that a regj - ¦ nement of mounted riflemen be raised to protect _emiijragrants on their journey ; and that an overland : iiomonthlv mail to Oregon he established . He also _proiposooses " liberal grants of land w the patriotic ¦ _piopioneers" to Oregon . This is nonsense . _Tl-c _ipiopioneers to _Oregon went there to get land to use or I to io speculate upon . If they went to get land to use , i it St is a sad reflection , on the wisdom oi our governi mement that thev could not get it nearer : if they went _Iforfor speculation , they wm be surprised to _fin-lthemi _selselves cracked np as patriots . It is understood that ihfihey have _qranud to themselves a section Of land _apapiece , and if they come under this government wcwonld it not be weU , while it can easily be done , to resrestrict the quantity of land that may be held by an _inindividual , and to lay out village lots so that nieebchanies aud others may be provided with homesteads asas well as farmers .
The President is a little windy on the subject of " "European interference" with the affairs of this cacontinent . We have it already , iu the worst forw tlithat it could possibly come . We have the accursed £ European system of land monopoly , which renders tn millions of our citizens homeless on their own soil ; aiand the statesmen who should " get us into a war alabout a phantom , before the European system of Laland monopoly is banished and every citizen a freeb holder , would _' deserve the execratiou ofthe landless fatoalleternitv .
The receipts and expenditures for the late fiscal y vear were each over twenty-nine millions of dollars . ' ( . _ftrereight millions ofthe expenditures were for pub-1 lie debt , andtweuty-one millions for _ordinary and ext traordinary expenses ; at least-double what it ought t to have been . Of the receipts , a little over two _i millions wera for public lands . For this paltry ini come of ten cents a head all the evils of land specu-1 lation are inflicted on our frontier settlers , crime and ; pauperism are multiplied in out- cities , and the 1 horrors of land monopoly are stored up for our ; posterity ! We have about tea millions of debt , which the President very properly means to pay off as soon as possible .
He recommends a reduction of the dutiss on imports to the p oint that , with the tenpenny land income , they -will be sufficient for the economical expenses of government . I have faith that one of these days the United States will have a- ' President who will recommend a repeal of the tenpenuy iaud tax , and a reduction of government expenses " to ten millions , to be raised by a direct tax on property . A constitutional treasury is strongly and ably re commended , and the recommendation is backed up by unanswerable arguments . That our public money should be loaned to sets of paper money-mongers to enable them to fleece the people , is anabomination that has been tolerated much too _lonir .
On the all-important subject of the public lands the President has made no advance . Even in 1832 , President Jackson recommended that the public lands should no longer be a source of revenue . President Po'k still clings to the ten penny land-tax , at the expense of the _besf ; interests of the country and the rights ofthe landless . He is fully alire to the villainies of Land speculation , yet the best he can recommend is , that while the speculators may still get the good lands , the plundered landless may , if they can rake together dollars enough , have the refuse lands at a trifling reduction of price ! Would it not be well for the workers of this country for once to put m office a Pre-nilent-who has seen , ii he has not
felt , the evils ot a community composed mainly of dependant tenants ? It is quite natural that a wealthy man , _consuming annually the produce perhaps ofa hundred poor men'slaboar , and associating only with men of his own class and habits , should have bis mind fixed mainly upon national prosperity and national glory , and hut little upon individual prosperity , and individual -rights . Jefferson was an exception , and Jackson partially so ; but the general rule Louis good . If the landless would _secare their right to the soil , they must select for their agents , not men owning large estates and people to work them , bat men who understand what it is to be landless and compelled to do three nun ' s work for one man ' s pav .
The mineral lands are rented , and the collection Of the rents casts four times the income ' . as all rent collecting ought to cost . The President , of course , is anti-rent as regards the mineral lands . This is a subject requiring especial consideration . In conseqnence of the grasping spirit of avarice engendered by the traffic in land and the insecurity of a homestead , every now and then our government is induced to force the Indian tribes further hack intoihe wilderness , and then , it appears , those who produce all are taxed ( through the tariff and the public lands ) to support regiments of mounted dragoons to travel about among the Indians and awe them into submission should they feel any disposition to be restless in consequence of their expulsion from the
homes of their fathers , which expulsion would have been entirely unnecessary but for land monopoly . The Indians are made quiet at present—thank- ; to oar Republican standing army 2 Oar Republican navy is in She fighting trim , and was enabled to make quite a respectable demonstration , for the edification of Mexico , without exceeding the appropriations . The President recommends the increase of the navy by steam vessels , lie thinks our chief reliance for defence must be an " efficient navy . " A much better means of defence , it seems to me , would be to give every man a horn * to defend . Such a defence would cost nothing , and with such a defence there would be little danger of an attack .
As I anticipated , the newpostage law does net furnish sufficient income , and it must be modified . As the people are scattered over four times the necessary surface for the benefit of speculators , it would be well if some means could be discovered to make them pay the deficiencies in the post-office revenue . No reduction of salaries to conform with the reduction of the wages of labour th rough misgovern * ment is recommended , not even in regard to the 9000 dollars salaries and 90 G 0 outfits of foreign ministers , to enable them to ape foreign fashions . A very serious omission . The message , on tbe whole , is great ou the minor points , but small ou the main one —a free soil for a See people .
Juvexiee Advbxxcrers.—About Ten O Clock ...
_Juvexiee Advbxxcrers . —About ten o clock in the forenoon of Wednesday , Mr . George , the examiningfate oiiieer of the Customs at the entrance of the ( Test India Import Dock , observed two _re-pectabieloaking children , who had made their way into the Limehouse basin , marching about with carpet bags iu their hands , and apparently at a loss bow to prcceed . Seeing two children of such tender years { one ten , tbe other thirteen } , evidently made up for a journey , and so wholly _^ without guidance , he questioned them as to their business there at such an hour , so accoutred , and without any one to direct them . The poor little fellows burst into tears , but , taking courage from the kind bearing of the officer , they frankly told the little romantic plot in which
they had so simply , yet so boldly , engaged . They said they were sons of Mrs . DalzeTl , a widow , engaged in the HerUn wool snd hosiery trade , in Lamb _' _s-Conduit-street , _lMW-n ; that their mother being a widow , and they themselves having been long subjected to a series of ill-treatment from an elder brother , they had for some time past resolved to release themselves from a state of what they conceived to be tyraunaus bondage Hearing that the Imaun of Muscat wr . _i a good prince , a friend to England , and was desirous of advancing Europeans , they resolved to proceed to _hisdeminums , and understanding that his vessel , tin- 0 aroline , wanted some hands , thev came to tender their
services and try their fortunes . Mr . George , who was much affected by the simple story and _iuiivpid hearing of the children , had them at once conveyed to Mr . Dixon , the principal ofthe dock police , " when their little kits wcre overhauled . They had made thsir arrangements with great _provitleiire , even to dinner plate and silver fork , hut evidently iiiore under the impression of a removal to a berth in a respect able suburban boarding-school than to a location in the filth of an Asiatic- ship . Mr . Dixon , feeling how a parent must- have suffered in the interim of their abseace , had them at once conveyed _huni . _' _, to thy _unexpected delight of their afflicted mother , who couid scarrely speak her gratitude .

Glasgow Chartist Dinner. A Number Of The...
GLASGOW CHARTIST DINNER . A number of the Glasgow Chartists , _« ho are ui the habit of holding a weekly social meeting , to talk over oassing political events , and who have for some wars ' held an annual festive meeting , resolved that thev would this year meet together aud dine with such iriends as they conhl muster upon the afternoon of New Year's Day , 1 S _« . All preliminaries being _arranged , the company met in Mc Pherson ' sTavern , Old Post Court , at five o ' clock . Mr James Moir , long known not only to Scottish
hut also to English C _^ artiste , as a stem , unflinching democrat , ably officiated as chairman , supported right and left by the venerable Deacon Cares and Mr . John Miller . Mr . George Ross , well known to all good and tvue Scottish Chartists , officiated as croupier , supported right and left by Messrs . Paul and Thomas _Aucote , jun . Amongst the company we observed Messrs . Lang , Rankin , Pinkerton of Paisley , Thomas Ancotc , seii ., David Sutherland , Kyle , Bennet , _Mc'Cubbin , George Ure . _&< :.
The party having done amide justice to the good things of this life , provided and served up in the best style by the host , Mc'Pherson , at an _extremely moderate _charge The Chairtfen opened the main business of the meeting by proposing the first and most important toast— "the People ! the only legitimate source _^ of all political power : may they soon see the necessity » f active and united exertion being made to obtain their just rights ! " He begged to congratulate the meeting on the number assembled to-night , remark ing how rare it was that so many should meet after such a length of time _witlijiucha small break in their numbers . He was delighted to sec Mr . Lang , despite his dismal forebodings , previous to New Year ' s
Jay , ol his ever making one again at such a meeting as this . It was also highly gratifying to have brother _Itaukiu present , after his long and severe illness ; it gave him great pleasure to sec his honest countenance once more , iie was also glad to see the friend from Paisley ( Mr . Pilkington ) . With regard to the toast he had read , he would say a few words ; it was one ofa very important nature , and one , he was sorry to say , the people seemed not fully alive to , although there was not the shadow of a doubt of their being the highest source of all political power . Ho thought tbat he could see amidst the clashing of parties , tbat the time was rapidly approaching when the people would be reused to insist upon the possession of their just rights , overwhelming all opposition .
He would refer to the late meeting held m the City Walls , on the Corn Laws , as an index ofthe state of public _fealing . They met in . numbers , but not to applaud ; the resolutions were put in nearly solemn silence , vigorous efforts being made os the platform , and in its immediate vicinity , in vain attempts to get up the steam . He was persuaded that , had but one single individual in the confidence ofthe masses started up , he could easily have carried the day in spite of the League . For his part , he could not believe that the manufacturers wire giving their princely _contributions through any desire to serve the people . No , they were casting their bread on the waters , to be gathered with interest after many days . ( Cheers . ) AU present were interested in obtaining the just rights of the people , for all suffer in
jury . Every man present had to be engaged the lifelong day in simply providing the bare necessaries of life—in looking for something to eat and clothe _him-Siir with . On the other hand , when ihe people had a voice in making the laws , they were able to enjoy a much larger share of comforts than it was in the power of the working man in this country . He alluded to America , Switzerland , & c , in all of which countries they eat their bread in pleasantness " under their own vine and fig tree , none daring to make them afraid . ' - ' ( Applause . ) The chairman having again read tlie toast , called upon them to respond to it in an overflowing bumper , which was done standing , amidst great and reiterated . cheering . After whieh Mr . Bennet sang the appropriate song" A man's a man for a' that . "
Mr . Paul was now called upon to give the next toast , which he did in a short pithy and witty speech — " The People ' s Charter , and no surrender , may it speedily become the law of the land . " The toast was received with three times three , and drank with all the houour 3 ; followed by an appropriate song from Mr . Kyle . Mr . Bennet was now requested to propose the next toast ; Mr . Bennet gave— " The Chartist Press under whatever name and wherever found , may this mighty engine multiply amongst the people , and be found successfully combating the prejudices of class , and curbing the oppressor's power . " Mr . B . was of opinion it was of little consequence under what name a paper honestly advocated our principles , neither
did it matter where found , whether in London . Leeds , Isle of Man , or Princess-street , Glasgow . Such engiues would multiply in exact ratio as the people exerted themselves to obtain their just rights . The Cliartistpresshad done great good amongst the people , it had carried a knowledge of the working man ' s rights and just claims inttfevery house . Mr . B . concluded these few observations with some remarks as to -he prevailing prejudices amongst the upper and middle classes of society , of which he was glad to say very evident symptoms of giving way were apparent . He also drew attention to tire great extent to whicli the oppressor's power was carried , not only in political and _sosial life , but also in the church . He would now sit down leaving the toast in their hands , which was drank with all the honours .
The Chairman now called upon the Croupier to favour the company with the next toast . The Croupier expressed his regret that the toast wliich had been put into his hands had not fallen into abler hands , particularly when he saw their young friends from Paisley amongst them . The toast which he had been called upon to speak to was one of a very important nature , aud which he trusted would be drank in sincerity . He for one would like to know in reality for what these men had been sent out ofthe country f Hid he been one ofthe jury that convicted them , be could not , with a clear conscience , have found them guilty of fighting against their sovereign . He begged to call their attention to movements being made in England to get np public meetings with a
view to petition Parliament in behalf of these exred patriots . _Sbauld it be said tbat Glasgow will be behind in that good work ? No ; he trusted not . ( Cheers . ) He hoped to see a large aud overflowing meeting got up in the City Hall for that purpose , freni which a strong remonstrance should emanate . ( Applause . ) They had some reason to hope their ex . ertious would not be lost . Had not the exiled Canadians been freely pardoned , and solicited to return to their country ? Had not even Daniel O'Connell been allowed to escape ? He trusted that if such a meeting was got up , it would be gone about with spirit , and attended by gentlemen from a distance . (
_Kenewed cheers . ) He also hoped that their exertions would be crowned with success , in the free pardon aud return of _thosa exiles to the bosom of their families , friends , and country , with whom they would find an affectionate , hearty , and enthusiastic reception . ( Great applause . ) The worthy Croupier now called tor a brimming bumper to— " Frost , WiUiams , and Jones , and the other exiled advocates of the People ' s Cause , may they soon be restored to their country , their families , and the cause for which they are suffer ing ; " which was drank amidst great cheering , Mr . Bennet playing " The Exile of Erin" on that sweet instrument , the accordion , and Mowed by sume other enlivening strains .
The Chairman now rose and said : Mr . Croupier , and gentlemen , —I find it has now fallen to my duty to wopose the next toast , viz ., " Mr . Pinkerton , and ihe Chartists of Paisley . " He ( the Chairman ) , was right glad to see their friend amongst them , and he sincerely trusted it would not be the last time of their meeting on such an occasion . It would give him great pleasure were he accompanied next time by as many of our Chartist brethren from Paisley as could conveniently come . He would onlyimposetbis condition—that tliey be ofthe right sort , " whole _hoggers" like Mr . Pinkerton . ( Cheers . ) De would now conclude by giving the toast , and wishiug health and prosperity , and best of times to the Chartists of Paisley . Responded to with ali the honours .
Mr . Pinkerton shortly returned thank *? , _rej-rettinjj the apathetic state of the Paisley _Chartists . He said , that after twenty-five years tugging at the oar with them , he could not now say what tlie Paisley people would do . Every idea of noWe-niiniled _ness seemed to have vanished since the time they had been compelled to exist upon the paltry , miserable pittance , of one penny a day . He was at a meeting the other day in Paisley , called to make provision fov the poor , aud their whole talk was , not- " how much they should provide , " but " lor how little they could _ ez ofi with paying . " Ho begged to return his grateful thank * for himself aud the good town of Paisley He had great pleasure in being associated with tie Chartists of Glasgow , and would now propose a toa 4 , r ; z ., " Mcssr . * . Ross and Moir , and the Chartists ol Glasgow . ( Cheers . ) A more unflinching man than George _lloss he did hot know . As for our friend
. Moir , he did not know how to describe lnra best ; whether as the noblo aristocratic _delegate for Glasgow , or the unflinching leveller of aristocratic Whigliugs . lie regretted to sec liim maintaining his Malthusian practices , strutting aloof , looking on and admiring , hut alarmed at tho idea of partaking , lie would not be surprised some of these odd dais , to see friend _-Vx ' iir in a better way . Without detaining them longer , he must say of Mr . Ross , whether in the camp or at the _Inard , he had always found him " _aoblc-iiiinded . Look at . the beautiful * morals _ineulcated , and sound political kiiow , Vd _* : C disseminated , in that small halfpenny publication , the Scottish C /' _iarliit Circular , so long and so ably carried on under the _jjood captainship of Mr . _llo-s . lie had now detained i ! : cin long enough , and would conclude by craving a bumper to his toast , which was drauk with all the usual _honoui-s .
Mr . Ross shortly returned thanks on behalf of Mr . Moii * , the Glasgow Chartists , and himself . lie would just remark that he had never been a fiatierrr in ;" , he _trusted "neither Jir . _iioir nor himself would befo ' . nd wanting or absent where * jo _*> d work wasto in- _i _k'ii _* . * : neiihcr would they _siiriiik uvm taki _* j _* r a

part tottun the getting w and carrying out one or tiro public meetings in oebnlf of theicxiH patriots which _havine at -heart , lie entreated Uis friends not to Wsight of . < Ch eers . ) Mr . James Lang , being now called upon to give a toast , rose and _sai'l , that he was sorry to say the particular toast had Men entrusted to him , as lierc-. rrcttcdhistotalinabilit . V to do it that justice Which _Ftmsrited at their hands . He must crave for his toast a special bumper , as tbe real toast of tlie evening , viz ., "Fkahous O'Ctaoit , Esq . and all other honest advocates , expounders , and lecturers , in favour of Coartist principles ; niay they soon'tind a common basis upon which they may honestly mute to fight the battle of Universal Suffrage . " ( Great
and rapturous cheering . ) Mr . Lang passed a _Jngii eulogium upon the sterling , honest , unflinching character of Mr . O'Connor . He said , that man had been called everything ' but a gentleman—held ; up as everything that was had , as a " traitor , " and as a " blasphemer . " Many traps had been laid to work his ruin ; but he was too cautious and prudent a general to be so easily caught . He hoped ere long to see a strong union amongst all cla-ses of Chartists , and the entire abolition of that fighting and quarreling which had too long been dividing their strength . lie was glad to see tlio movement making in favour of Frost , Williams , Jones , and ihe other exiled patriots . He was delighted at the prospect of the return of these men . With reference to what lell
from the chair in the _« arly part of the evening respecting himself , he must say , that this time last year he had felt so very distressed in spirits , and poorly in health , as to express his fear of not ¦ sur viving to meet with them on the return of another New Year ' s Day . He was , however , extremely happy at once more meeting them in asgood health and spirits as ever , and with as good a prospect ot meeting them upon many similar occasions . ( Cheers . ) He would now conclude , calling upon them to charge their glasses to tlie brim for his toast , whicli was drunk amidst nine rounds of applause , upstanding , and with all the honours . Tiie Chairman now craved abumper for their jocular old friend and brother clubbist , " Mr . James llankin ,
and glad to see him once more amongst us , may he be speedily restored to good health . " It gave hint sincere pleasure to see that Mr . R . was so far restored as to be able to bo present . Ho trusted that this would only be one of many such delightful re-unions with increased health and strength to Mr . Rankin , Drank with ali the honours . Mr . Rankin , on account of his weak state , simply and shortly returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him , and for the good wishes expressed towards him . The Croupier now craved liberty to proposea toast . One , be regretted to see , had been , by some unaccountable neglect , omitted in the programme ; it was the health of the oldest Chartist and Radical now present , viz ., that venerableCobbctite , Deacon Caiss .
( Great cheering ) He would not enlarge on tlie merits of Mr . _Carss , they all knew him better than he could describe . He would now call for full glasses to " The health of Deacon Cares , and may he he long spared to meet with us as lie had hitherto done . " Drank with _cheers-and upstanding . Deacon Carss rose , and in a short and pathetic speech returned thanks for the honour done him . He had long been an admirer of Cobbet and his writings , and he considered it a high honour to have been entrusted along with their chairman and another gentleman to manage the business arrangements ol Mr . Gobbet's last lectures in Glasgow . They took the Theatre Royal , upon tlieir own responsibility , for three nights for these lectures , tbe expences of each
night averaged about £ 22 , and tho receipts about £ 80 to £ 100 a ni g ht , thereby giving them the great pleasure of putting something handsome into Mr . Cobbet ' _s pockets before leaving . ( Rounds of _applausej The Chairman would just remark regarding what had fallen from his friend , Deacon Carss , that , for himself he had a veneration for the writings of Cobbet , it was from them hu learned his first political lessons , and from them he learned that hard words broke no bones ; he participated in the honours of doing what was necessary in the arrangements for Mr . Cobbet's last lectures in town , and he felt it to have beena high honour . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman now called upon Mr . George Ure
to give the next toast , which he did in an excellent energetic address , congratulatory and eulogistic . He said that several had claimed their toasts as the toasts ofthe evening , but in calling for a bumper to his toast , he would call for it as for the genuine toast ofthe night , the toast he had to give was as follows : — " Our Noble Selves ; may wc ever be found at our posts whether of honour or labour . " ( Cheers ) It is true there is none of us so distinguished a 3 to receive sueh titles as royalty only bestows ; but , Mr . Chairman , I would ask , is it not something to be proud of to be permitted to associate with and be called the friends of the people ' s representatives ? I see in this room men . freely chosen by the people , and dolegated to represent this great city . For himself , he would _* ay , that he considered it the highest honour evor he achieved , that he became one of their number . He regretted that mercantile arrangements would in three weeks time terminate
his meetings with them weekly but he trusted ( if so permitted ) to meet them , at * least , each new year ' s day . He would now crave a bumper for his toast , wliich was drank amidst the several honours . The Chairman now rose and expressed his regret that they were about to lose 30 valuable a member as our young friend Mr . Ure . He would propose that Mr . Ure consider himself formally invited at this meeting to join us at all times convenient to himself . Sure he was that ho would meet with a welcome reception whenever he should favour us with his company . He bagged them to drink health and prosperity to Mr . George Ure , in his new sphere . Drank with best wishes for Mr . Ure _' _spvosperity . Mr . Ure returned thanks lor the reception the meeting had given to iheir chairman's invitation . He was proud to know that lie would be welcome amongst them , and begg * l to assure them that he would avail himself of their kind invitation as often
as was in his power . Mr . Sutherland being now called upon for a toast , said—Mr . Chairman and Gcntlcmcu _, the toast that has been given me is one that demands the highest talents to do it justice ; but coming from me , totally unused to public speaking , it will not be expected that I will occupy much of your time . The toast , ientlcmen , is as follows— "Our wives , families , sweethearts , and absent friends . " The toast divides itself into two heads ; the first part— " Our wives and families . " It is truly a pity , Mr . Chairman , that you are yet a stranger to tlie charm of saying
I havo a sweet wife of mine aiu . —( elicers )—for the wisest man the world ever saw , He dearly _lo ' ed the lasses . ( Great laughter and cheers ) . From twenty years ' experience I can assure you that _j-ou ave losing tlie principal enjoyment and charm of life . What so delightful as the society of a cheerful warmhearted _, woman , to share your happiness and soothe your cares ? And if blest with a family , how pleasant to be in the midst of such relations . And , Mr . Chairman , in your present situation in life , as you are not so able to enter into the feelings of those amongst
us who are husbands and fathers , I have to propose the * ' Health of sweethearts and absent friends , " and if 1 was more acquainted with your private Jives and prospects I might , like one of our friends here , be able to "unfold a tale "—but I will not occupy your time farther in inducing you to fill a bumper to this toast , for who can be abetter husband , father , lover , or friend , than the freo man who dares to assert his own rights and the rights of man ? Responded to with all due honours . Mr . Thomas Ancott , senior , then ro ; e and proposed * ' The CUirman , " in a few eulogistic remarks , which were warmly applauded .
fhe Chairman shortly returned thanks , and begged them to charge their glasses to the health of " The Croupier . " Mr . Ross having returned thanks for the manner in which they had responded to the chairman ' s toast of his good health , Air . Samuel Bennett ro 3 e , and craved permission of the ch & irumi to propose a special toast , which was not in the programme . He beg » ed to propose the health of the patriot Patrick O'lligsins , Esq ., of Dublin , who , with a few good and true Chartists around him , had dared to brave Daniel O'Connell and his myrmidons in their stronghold , and who was now indicted upon some paltry charge of sedition to stand his trial ; he knew Mr . O'lliggiim to be a warmhearted and unassuming man : they would all _remember his ( Mr . 11 . ) having visited Dublin sometime
ago , there it was that ho met . Mr . O'Higgins , who treated him as an old friend , took and entertained him at his own house , aud from thence he took him to one of their meetings ; it was just such another meeting as our own , both in men and the snirit displayed ; at that meeting he had the high honour conferred upon him of being pr -posed r . s an honorary member along with your chairman , Mr . James Moir , of the Dublin Chartist Association ; hehad considered that event one of such distinction , that he had preserved his ticket of membership to this time , and he _helii-ved that Mr . Moir had done the same with his ( Mr . Moir : Yes ); ho would noiv conclude by proposing tho health of Patrick O'lliggin ' s _, " Esq ., and the Chartists of Dublin , for whom he would crave brimming glasses .

COMMITTAL OF PATRICK O'HIGGINS , ESQ . FOR SEDITION . HEAD OFFICE , DUBLIN . On Tuesday , Mr . Patrick _O'Hujgius , of North Annestreet , appeared before the magistrates of the above office to answer the charge of composing , printing , aud publish _, ing a malicious libel , entitled " Landlord and Tenant—Tyrants turning Tenants out . " Mr . Caiitwell attended for Mr . O'Higgins . Mr . WU son appeared as the representatives of the Crown Solicitor .
Mr . Porter , addressing Mr . _O'lliggins , said , that the crown were prepared to _sustiin the indictment in either of two casus , both of which wove within the magisterial jurisdiction of that ofliee ; for there was evidence of 11 publication of libel in the county and in the city of Dublin : and under these circumstance ; , ho considered it to be his duty to hold Mr , O'lligsins to bail to appear at the next commission of Oyer and Terminer for tlie county and city of Dublin , That was what was at present proposed to be done , leaving to the crown the option of the tribunal before which thvy would arraign the _defcudant . Mr . Cantwcll thought that such a course would be rcry novel and it would be a hardship to the defendant to oblige him to enter into recognizances .
Mr . Porter replied that it would not be a hardship , as he would take the same securities in each case . Ilis object in requiring the two recognizances , and returning informations to the county as well as the city , was to prevent unnecessary delay , which would result from the defendant being enabled to raise a question of traverse ill prox . If the indictment was found against him in tha county , he might say that he had not been held to bail or committed to answer for such offence twenty clear days before the trial , and the recognizances entered into to appear at the commission , and answer the . charge brought against him in the city , might not prevent him from asserting his right to traverse iu prox iu the county , and vice versa .
Mr . Cantivcll observed , that , however sufficient the ground taken by Mr . Porter as a legal reason might be , it wns not fair to place a man between two jurisdictions and leave him in doubt whether he was to be tried by u county or city jury . He had neTer known a case where a person was made amenable under such _circumstances and he did not sec why the crown should ask the _wngistraU-s to hold him iu two _recognisances . Mr . Porter wished to disabuse Mr . _Cantwell's mind with respect to the idea that the course was taken by him at the suggestion , of the . crown . U was the view taken by himself , of his own accord , in order to have an effectual investigation ofthe tranaction , upon which lie would not pronounce any opinion .
Mr , Cantwell remarked , that the course taken seemed like a disposition to _select die jury that would be conceived to be most favourable to the prosecution ; but he was sure that Mr . Porter , who had always been the advocate of a proper administration of justice , would not suffer suspicion to be thrown upon the _proceeding in that case . He did not care before what jurisdiction he was arraigned ; all he wanted was , that the Crown should make selection between two tribunals , instead of demanding a species of double-barrelled recognizances . Mr . Porter said—Suppose the Attorney-General prosecuted in that case ( and he had no reasou for supposing he would do so ) , would he , as a magistrate , be justified in preventing him from bringing the case before the tribunal which he thought best to insure tho interests of justice ?
Mr . Cantwell replied that Mr . Porter would not be justified in precluding the Attorney-General from taking any course he liked , but he had no right to assist him in adopting extraordinary means . * _< Mr . Thomas Kemmis here entered the _Board-room , and Mr . Canto-ell addressing liim , expressed a wish that he should interfere in tho case , and make a choice between the two tribunals . Mr . Kemmis declined doing so . Mr . Porter observed that he saw no actual hardship in the course which he intended adopting , but he considered itn-cessary for the due administration .
Mr . Cantwell said he could not dispute the power of the magistrates , upon strict legal technical grounds , to take sueh a course , and his _appeal was more directed to the prosecutor than to them . If a person were brought before the magistrates of a , particular locality , ho knew the tribunal which should entertain his case ; but he was placed in embarrassment 3 nd doubt' when ho had to appear before a double jurisdiction , and he considered that the unconstitutional tendency of such a proceeding ought to induce Mr . Porter to abandon his intention ; for the effect would be to enable the Attorney . General to take his choice of two juries , and ascertain which was most calculated to forward liis owu ends .
Mr . Porter mentioned a case in which a man was charged i * Kilkenny witti having stolen tivo pigs ; he was counsel forthe prosecution , Mr . Marcus Costelio forthe defendant . The grand jury of the city ignored tbe bills , which charged the prisoner with liaviug stolen the pigs : and the very day that they did so he sent up bills to the county grand jury , charging hiui with having stolen property in his possession , and these bills were found . Mr . Costelio complained that this was a great grievance , but the presiding judge did not sympathise with his client . Mr . Cantwell remarked that very fewpeople sympathised with _pijr stealers .
Mr . Porter said , that Mr . Magee was a magistrate of the county , he ( Mr . P . ) was a magistrate for the city and for the county , as iva _* also Mr . Magee , ' and if informations weretendered to each of them—one toinstitute proceedings in the county , the other in the city , neither could refuse to take tlicm . IVhy then should he hesitate about receiving the iiiformatUu , acting , as he was imtitlsd to do , in both capacities % Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon alluded to the case of Willis , the jeweller , who had been bound over by him in tivo recognizances , to stand his trial for the same offence iu Dublin aud in the King ' s Couuty , Mr . Cantwell wished tolcno . v upon what evidence his client was required to enter into two recognizances .
Mr . Porter than read the informations which had been already sworn in the case . The alleged libel was comprised in a number ol * questions and answers , having reference to the _landlords and the rights of their tenantry . The first inl ' onuation which his worship read was that of Mr . 'Tertian , of Halbriggan , couuty Dublin , merchant ; the substance of which was , that in October last he received two copies of a newspaper called The Northern Star , containing circulars uyau _wlucU _tUt libel was printed , and he believed he _jjot . 1 third cony of the
newspaper and circular . Mr . O'Higgins admitted to witness in a conversation that the placard was the same as that about whicli Mr . O'ConneU had made such a " ront" in the A & sociation , but denied that he was either the author or distributor of it . The next information was that of Mr . Hogg , provision dealer , Ormond MavUet ; the substance of which was , that ho ( Hogg ) asked the defendant for one of the placards to which Mr . O'ConneU had alluded ; he replied thtithe had one , and if he wished to see it he had it in his pocket , and lent him the paper . He did not seem inclined to leave it , but he did so .
Mr . Cantwcll said that there was nothing more reasonable than thata person should be -Anxious to & ee a document which a man . so celebrated and eniiiipnt as Mr . O'Connell considered so objectionable , and therefore it was not to be wondered at that Hogg should be desirous to see it . _-Ms . _rNtttet _saitttii _^ wiiglvt _^ eagoou topic for a jury , but not for a preliminary observation . It appeared to him that _Jboth informations could he given in evidence upon either trial ; and that Ternau could be examined before a city jury , and Hogg before a county . Mr . Cantwell said , that if such evidence as that _produced in that case were deemed sufficient to sustain an indictment , the 2 _'* im > s Commissioner ought to leave the country as fust as he could . Mr . Porter observed that he was not aware that he was at work within his district yet .
Mr . Cantwell said , that be had boen reading some of the letters of the Times Commissioner , for the purpose of that prosecution , particularly those parts whicli referred to . the injustice of landlords towards their tenantry , and ift ho evidence iu that case were sufficient to sustain an indictment , he should tremble in his shoes , and get over to the other side of the water as quickly as possible . Mr , Porter observed that if Mr . - Gantwell ' s remarks were published , tho departure of the Times Commissioner might be expedited , Mr . Cautivell replied , that he hoped what he said would expedite the departure of the Times Commissioner , and save liim from a prosecution , except he employed liim as his agent . Mr . Porter observed that tho magistrates would not be precluded from returning to tho com mission any further informations which might bo sworn against the defendant . He did not say that they would be sworn , but be did not promise that they would not .
Mr . Cantwell said he would rather encounter a doublebarrelled indictment , than a pocket pistol in the shape ot an information in the dark . Mr . Porter remarked that it was not his intention that any proceeding should be taken in tho dark , and he was sure that the Crown had no such intention either . Mr . Cantwell replied tiiat ha did not know , for at a very memorable trial they were very often taken in tho dark , Mr . Porter , then addressing Mr . O'Higgins , s . i ' ul that he was about to take informations against hiin , and to require him to en tor into recognizances to appear at the Commission for the City and County of Dublin , and ho was ready to hear any statement which he might bo _dispjsod to make . Mr . Cautivell said that , acting by his advice and under his direction , Jir . _O'lliggius would not make an statement .
The recognizances were then entered into , Mr . 0 'IIi - gins giving bail in . CIOO to appear and take his trial _before the juries fo ; - the county nnd the _ciiy , and providing two sureties , in _& 0 each ( Mr . Edward Gatchell and Mr , Johithangnn ) .
Committal Of Patrick O'Higgins, Esq. For...
From our own _CorrCflj'oxHlent . Tho * battle between the Times' Commissioner and Mr _O'Connsll havintf _dfawn to a close , tho _all-absorbinu topic of _p-Jblic Intcrta _* in tbis grea t city at present is _thi probability of another trial for sedition . Hot a groat state affair , but a little go , magnified into a government prosecution by the foul conspiracy of O'ConneU and tin * Conciliation patriots . It is now matter of fact , and beyond mere speculation , that the government has been reluctantly forced into this poltry and disgraceful _prosecu tion at the instigation of Mr . O'Connell and tho repeal pacificators . The placard which forms tho groundwork of the charge is fresh in every man ' s recollection , aud since its appearance Mr . O'Connell , with supposed information as to the author , in tho most insidious , cunni _* 0 jr , __^^
and rascally manner , gave t ;> it an undue importance , a .-well as unpopularity , by professing to believe that it was the work of the detective force , connived at by tlie government . After having laid his hellish train of sus j , ' don , unpopularity _. andsupposedguilty purpose . Patrick 3 'lli : 'gius , Esq ., a name neither unknown nor unbonoured ' by the English people , was _seasonabmpounced upon as the author o ! the document-, and . although the informations against him were extremely loose and vague , the government owed to itself and to its chief _sft . the duty of searching inquiry ; and the consequence was that , a fter a protracted hearing , and a large amount of hgal sophistry , which you will find in the report herewith sent , Mr . O _' _llijigins was held to bail t » stand his trial at the next commission , himself in one
hundred pounds , and two sureties in fifty pounds each , one of the sureties being a Quaker . I cannot forbear noticing one of the most paltry , low , _ungcntleinanlike , and unprofessional acts which occurred in mv own presence during- the preliminary investigation— -one ot moral turpitude unparalleled as far as the liberal press is concerned . Tho _d-mtning character given to the document very naturally descended upon its _supposed author , and the Liberator and patriots of Conciliation-hall _beimthe only parties who saw conspiracy in truth , sedition in its mild expression , and murder iu the denunciation 0 ! wrong , have from tlie outset been guarded in withholding the "damnable document" from public view , well knowing that its publication would be the easy answer to the charge of sedition . Uuder th « se _circumstances , honour tells us , that the fair and straightforward course , especially for that portion of the press whicli
animadverted freely and severely upon the placard , would have been to publish it , and thus give to every man an opportunity of judging for _himst-h ; front the contents . But , so far from this course being pursued , one _newipupcr in particular , the _jpreeiaon _' s Journal , has not only been guilty of fulminating its hired slander against Mr . O'Higgins , but has descended tothe paltry trick of suppres _s - ing the truth . The reporter ofthe Freeman , who attended the preliminary investigation , having a shrewd notion that there was only one copy of the document in court , and making as shrewd a guess that some paper , less truculent , might wish to publish it , resolved upon being beforehand , and asked Mr . Cantivcll , the agent for Mr . O'Higgins , for the copy for publication . Thereporter of another paper also wished for a copy , but , upon being told that there was only one copy , the reporter of the Freeman undertook to send slips of the document to the
reporter of the other paper in time for publication . And , will it be believed by Englishmen , or by Irishmen who have not yet sacrificed their noble patriotism and love of fair play to bombastic knavery , the Freeman , who violently denounced the document on the llth , the 18 th , and 23 th of November , not only broke hi * word to his brother reporter , but had the meanness , iu compliance with _vassallageto Mr . O'Connell , upon whose breath the paper lives , to WITHHOLD THE PUBLICATION ALTOGETHER , welt knowing that its appearance would havo been the ready answer to its own slander . When will Irishmen open tlieir eyes ? aud when will Dr . Gray make atonement for the dastardly and un-Irish manner in which he has lent himself , _asjdeputy spy , to the Liberator ? "Alas ! poor country , Almost afraid to know itself . "
Murder Near Liverpool. Ou Saturday Last ...
MURDER NEAR LIVERPOOL . Ou Saturday last an inquest was held at St . Helen ' s on the body of John Cunlift ' e , who came to his death under the following appalling circumstances : —The deceased was a shoemaker , about 30 years of age , in the employ of Mr . 3 ims , and was a cripple , wearing a wooden leg . Thomas Wilkinson , a man iu the same employ , deposed that on Thursday last , about balf-past one o ' clock , John Fairclough ( the prisoner present ) went to Mr . Situs ' s shop , and asked the deceased if he hud three halfpence to give or lend him . He said he had not . The prisoner then asked deceased , "Bast thou remember the time when 1 had to pay 5 s . for thee V Deceased replied , " Ay , and if thou dost not mind thine eye I will m : _ike thee pay another 5 s . " After that witness heard a blow struck , and . on lookins round , both men were ou the floor , the
prisoner uppermost . The deceased had the prisoner '? thumb in bis mouth . Mr . Situs's brother , who was present , took up a pieco of wood , and threatened to strike the deceased unless he let go the prisoner ' s thumb . lit did let go the thumb . Witness then went into the house adjoining to inform th » master . On his return in a fen seconds he met the deceased staggering across the yard ; on asking him what was the matter , deceased replied that he was stabbed , witness went after the prisoner and had liim apprehended . Mr . Samuel Sims corroborated th . evidence of the last witness , aud stated that after the prisonerand deceased got up , witness left them both standing in the shop , aad went into the house to tell his brother _. He immediately returned , mid saw the prisoner come ou of the shop aud walk down the passage : the deceased
followed , crying out , " Oh I ' m stabbed ; " he staggered and fell down ; Wood was coming from his mouth ; both wit . ness and his brother run for a surgeon , and Mr , Gaskoll ' s son was in attendancein about half a minute . The other witness , Wilkiusou , came shortly afterwards with a police-officer , and oh searching witness found the knife which he produced under the seat where the _deceases had sat ; it was witness ' s own knife , whieh lie left on hi _> seat on going into _; he house ; it was bloody , and the edg » snipped ; the knife _wasperi _' eetly smooth not five minutes before , when witness used it ; witness ' s seat was about three yards from the place where lie _fovunl the knife . Mr , Gaskell , surgeon , deposed tbat he found the A > ceased bleeding from a large wound in the back , between the left shoulder blade and the backbone . Witness probed the
wound , and found that it had passed into the cavity ol the chest , between the seventh and eight ribs ; witness bandaged the wound , but the deceased never spoke . Shortly after he became nearly pulseless , ami was gradually sinking until half-past eleven o ' clock the same night , when he died . Witness made a post mortem examination , and on opening the chest found a wound in the inferior lobe of the left lung ; there was also between SI ) and 40 ounces of blood in the cavity ofthe chest , which had flowed from tbe wound in the lung ; this ivn . « tha cause of death . The wound was about five inches in depth and two inches in breadth externally . _iVo human aid could have saved the deceased . Mr . Storey , superintendant of police stnted that on Friday morning , the prisoner was informed that Cuuliffe was dead , when he began to make a statement , but was cautioned ; the prisoner , however , persisted in making it , and he said he went with the intention of ( raying a last at _. Sims ' s shop although he did not mention it there ; he asked Samuel
Sims to lend him three halfpenc , who said he had got no money ; a strange man was in the shop at the time _whom-hc did not know . He then asked Cuuliffe to lend him throe halfpence ; they had some angry WOl'ds . and Catiline and he got to quarrelling ; that Cuuliffe struck him ( the prisoner ) and they both went down together , at that time Sims and the other man went out oftbe shop ; that they then both stood up in the attitude of fighting , and the deceased struck at him with a knife , which prisoner afterwards took from him ; that Cuuliffe bit his thumb when they were both down together , and after he had taken the knife from Cunliffe he was stooping down for something else to strike prisoner with , wlieu he struck the deceased on the back with the knife which he had previously taken from the deceased ; that he threw the knife away , but did not know where . The prisoner also stated that the deceased threatened to kill him . The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder , " and the prisoner was committed to take his trial at the assizes .

The late Jons Tawku ,. —The Bucks Epiphanv _scisioHS commenced at Aylesbury o _' . \ Tuesday , anil _1111011 * 131 tho motions whicli aro to he _brought forward before the _nia-ristrates to-dav , is that of Dr . Lee , ot _llartwell-houjc— " That the chaplain , be required to lay 011 the table the confession of John Taweil . " This is in continuation of the resolution which was unanimously adopted at the last sessions , that "the confession of John Taweil be laid upon tho table at quarter sessions for the county , and if this be not _acci'ded to , the chaplain he called upon to deliver it up forthwith . " The magistrates , in demanding the confession , do not consider that the refusal of the clcr » vinrests
an on tne privileges of his order . The majority of authorities on the subject are in favour ol compelling a clergyman—even a , Roman Catholic priest—as a witness to divulge any confession made to him of a crime . The confession is not one of privileged communication only , as tho chaplain received it , but as an officer of tlie magistrates , which might have just a , ? well been made to the gaoler or any other oflieiat . In a case of Hex v . Bishop of Ely , Mr . Justice Baylcy pronounced that the bishop should not , in order to gain . 1 private benefit , be allowed to withhold public documents , but in case ol tho continued refusal of the chaplain to deliver up the confession , it will he a matter to bring before the bishop to discharge him from his ofh ' co .
