Middle - Class Legislation And Remedies ...
tbat justice shall be done to them here . It -nil he time enough to think of the wholesale expatriation of hundreds of tlious'moVor _i iTiil liQrisof workejsfrora "fatherland , " when all its lands are fully tilled , when each man , willing and able to labour , shall have been put ia possession of an independent Labour _Keld , and his full participation in the fruits of his _tsilis secured to him by just and equitable laws , and a fair share of the Representation itself * .
Wben Labour , under these circumstances , ceases to maintain a family—when the soil is exhausted , as compared with fhe people to be sustained by its products—when no more wastes , or partially-cultivated tracts remain to be fertilised by Labour—then we shall approve ofthe plans now advocated by scheming socie ties , and selfish Land speculators ; but until then , we say to every honest working man : " Stay and try to make the England that ts to he , better than the England that is . " He is no true son of the soil who deserts her now .

The money received does not near cover the expenses incurred , and there are still farther expenses to be incurred if the conntry desire that another effort shonld be made for the prisoner . I am vrilling to be the treasurer of any further sums ; bnt if they are to be of any nse , they should be sent quickly . The enclosed account ought to have appeared in the Star a week or two ago ; the continued anxiety and labonr I have undergone latterly in defending the London Chartists , will , I am sure , be accepted as a sufficient apology .

The French 'Republic Bboihm Pnolirahians...
THE FRENCH 'REPUBLIC _BbOIHM _PnOLirAHIANS , It is not my intention to make the French Republic the subject of everlasting comment in these letters ; on the contrary , 1 hope to devote my pen and invite yonr attention to other subjects , embracing home questions of vital importance . For this week , however , I again return to the passing history d the French 'Republio . ' . .. The _ruolt of the late Paris election . « , on the whole , cheering for the friends of democracy , it » true that only one ofthe three _deiumtio candidates has been returned , but , os the other hand , the "hole of the _eorernment candidates hare been defeated .
The election of Louis Nankysoh , and FoOTD _^ tbe banker , is as much a protest against the _existing order of _tiuBgs-BlUBaRepnbueanism but rentable despotism—as is the election of _Raspail . _, Fodld has been returned by the favourers of Legitimacythe men of wealth , and all whom those sons of Mammon could influence , corrupt , or intimidate . Loms _NAFMrawhas been returned by a motley multitude , who have nothing in common bnt their farourite ' fl name , and disaffection towards the existing order ot things . The Napoleonists include that portion of tho Frenoh people who yet blindly worship a phantom of the past ; those Frenchmen who wonia prefer any kind of regal rule to the reign ofthe _sorereienneoole : 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' as an instrument for the destruction o { _Cavaiosac and bis 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 _Rasfau , _Thobi , and _CAiM , and succeeded in returning the celebrated prisoner of Vinoennes * Doubtless different shades of opinion exist in this party ; some assimilate to _Babbks , some to Louis Blano , and some to Cibst and other Communist teachers . Bot all agree in demanding . the emancipation of labour ; all insist that ' the revolution baring been accomplished by the people shall be worked for the people ; ' all rally
to one' 017 '— ' the democratic and social Republic 1 _Mikabbau divined the secret of _Robeshbbrx's success , whioh he foresaw , when he observed : ' - 'That man will Bucceed for he believes all that he says . ' The same holds good of the ultra-democrats of Paris . They are earnest men . They are men who have a principle ; and to the triumph of tbat principle have devoted their lives . The Christians who in the two first centuries of their faith ' s history gave np their bodies to the sword , the flames , and the ravenous monsters of the Roman cirens . rather than abandon their creed , were aot more thoroughly in earnest than are tbe men wbo—in spite of the massacre of Junehare just testified their unshaken fidelity to their principles , and their ufaltering determination to
accomplish the triumph of their ideas . Thus viewed , ths 110 , 752 votes recorded by the motley multitude of Loms Napohon ' s adherents sink into utter insignificance when contrasted with ths 08 , 963 votes polled by _Rahuil . . Again , what thongh Fould was elected by 79 . 891 rotes in opposition to the 62 , 476 rotes given for Thobi , and the 62 . 375 for . Cabk ; tbe corrupt , cowardly , selfish , and intimidated theusands who voted for the Plutocrat , eannot be depended on in the future ; whereas the devotion of the phalanx who supported the two social reformers is certain , and the increase of their strength is aa inevitable-It ia true that soma of the royalist papers have attempted . to show that the vote ef the Red
Republican party has fallen from ten to fifteen thousand below the number polled for _LsosAsm . _Pnownw , and PrxBSx _Lebotjx , In the early part of June last ; at the same time these papers cannot conceal that the ' moderate' rote hss in proportion still more—muoh more—fallen off . But the ten , twelve , or _fifteen thousand missing votes of the Red 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 _ottiirters who voted in June _. have since then been sent into the department * to labonr at wcrk provided for them in their several places of sojourn . Lastly , it must be borne in mind that the' * hare been deprived of the means of organisation which 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 . AU these _circumstences might account for the less of a greater number than even 15 000 rotes . When , on tha other hand , the avowed partisanship of the gorernment—the intimidation and corruption employed by the _Platecratsthe bitter hostility and lying calumnies of almost the entire press—the state of siege with all ite terrorsthe death , banishment , acd imprisonment of thousands of the most devoted democrats—when all these adverse circumstances are taken into consideration , the success-though partial—of the Red Republicans must be pronounced wonderful ; as their onion and energy bare been mest admirable .
Of all the democratic chiefs not previously _ejected to the Assembly , Rabpail is the most feared and hated by the bourgeoisie . Though not the chief of any sect , like C > b _» t , his inflexible devotion to the democratic cause —his rare talents , —his pure conduct in all the relations of life , and bis practical and untiring philanthropy , hare made him beloved by the men of the barricades . Imprisoned for alleged participation in the movement of the 15 th of May , his return is a 'heavy blow and sore discouragement' to Milord Marbast and the rest of the National gang , whose term of power is apparently fast drawing to a close . In addition to Paris , _Rasfaui was almost returned for Lyons . The proletarians of that oity voted for him to a man , but the oo » _row » te ] ohtaining the support of the ignorant population of the rural cantons , were enabled to return tbeir own candidate by a majority of a few votes over those recorded for the democratic chief .
The results of the election haTe altogether overthrown the calculations of' our best possible instructors , ' who predicted that the Red candidates wonld be at the bottom of the poll , or , at the best , not obtain twenty thousand votes . The Tout , _furiaus at seeing its predictions falsified , ravesabjut' a _charaoteriess ; rebellious , and desperate horde ; ' but dolefully concludes with the admission that 'the insurrectionists of June are again a power in the -state . If the Paris election proves nothing else it proves that ! ' The _Chbosiclx is fully as savage , and not less candid . _Denouncing the Red Republicans as Enemiesof God , of justice , and of mercy , ' the calumniator says , 'With their leaders in prison or in exile , decimated by rigours unexampled in the modern times of Frenoh history , with their journals suppressed , and their arms taken from them , they hive jet rallied round their favourite candidates , and find that their numerical Btrengthis little
impaired since their sanguinary , and , as it was hoped , supreme defeat . * ' This ' . adds the Chboniolx , ' is surely sinister and _ominons .- ! The correspondent of the Srsciator bears his testimony to the nnion and devotion of the democrats— 'They hare , ' says he , ' _osendipersed _. _idismantled , transported ; and , like the earth-worm cut into pieces , they hare reunited snd become one again . _, _ _, . * . * They were summoned by their leaders in the name ol desolated wires , slain brothers , proscribed children ; and to » man they toted the same _lut * _= Fearful ana melancholy to say , nothing has besn changed by that terrible battle of June— nothing ;!' Brother Proletarians , this admitted dismay of onr enemies should make our hearts leap with joy .

Were the proletarian classes of Europe generally inspired by the lofty virtues and _danntiess heroism of the matchless men of Paris , they might utterly uproot the existing system of fraud and slavery , ihe enemies of Labour denounce the _preletsnans of the Frenoh capital , as 'modem barbarians ; but , their sublimeheroiistt considered , they might with a much nearer approach to the truth , be s tyled * the Greeks of the 19 th century .

The French 'Republic Bboihm Pnolirahians...
Moreover , France must be a Republic . Complete defeat and subjugation ofthe Republicans would be but the prelude to a hew series of _sedrot ' _coBBpiraoies and open insurrections , / until once more the Re publio was proclaimed . Again , ' a Sham Republic , suoh as at . present exists , oannet last for any length ot time ; the real Republic-call it the Red Republio , or be Republic democratic and social ; or what you will—the real Republic is inevitable . Once that such men as Rabpail are at the head of France , the Republic will make itself understood by aots , not words , and then goodbje to ' pretenders . '
The admirable speech of Lbsbu Rolun , delivered at the banquet held on the 22 nd inst .. in eommemo . ration -of- the foundation ei the Repnblio of 1792 may be regarded as one ef the signs of the times . It proclaims the thoughts which agitate the hearts of millions of Frenchmen at this moment , _fhatspeeoh is a voice for the gagged masses , proclaiming their conviotion tbat the counter-revolutionists hare been allowed to go too far with their intrigues and their treasons ; and that other men than those who at present rule , and other measures than have hitherto been adopted . _muBtbehadrecoursetotosare the commonwealth . _^ _Lmru Rollw is right-cf _^ fton , ii « % , 6 _oWn « i , and indomitable resolution , will save the Repnblio ; and 1 do not despair tbat men with heads to conceive , hearts to dareand hands to te
, execu , the measures necessary to ensure the publio safety , will be found . Lsdbc- Rollin is hardly deep enough in colour for my taste ; but , nevertheless , were I a member of the Frenoh democracy , I would accept his programme as excellent for the time being . The leader of ' the Mountain' is perfeotly right in saying tbat , in spite of the pretended poverty of the really rich , there is no want of money in France . It is tbe grand feature of al ) conspiracies ef the rich against the poor , that whenever the latter obtain a temporaiy advantage on the field of political 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 Ledru _Rollik has well said , an enterprising and resolute man .
There are certain statesmanlike views broached in this speech of the ex-Minister of the Interior , th'St _Nwill go far to exalt hi *) character as a pnblio man . and rally to his banner those who had abandoned him under the impression tbat he was not up to the mark . His noble protest against the Infamous desertion and betrayal of Italy by the Frenoh government will thrill the" hearts of _milliens of Frenchmen . Ilis vindication of the German democraoy will be hailed by a shout of fraternity from the other side of the Rhine . LaBtly , his indignant denunciation of the English alliance will find an echo in the breasts ef millions both at home and abroad ; not excepting the down-trodden proletarians of this country . We very well understand that the alliance of the English gorernment with the government oi the Republio , is tbe greatest misfortune that could befall Europe ; for we know that
tbe arch-intriguer , _Pauibbsto't , never patronises' the liberal cause' in any country that be does not do 80 for the purpose of strangling the objeot of his pre * _tendtd affeotion . If Cavaignac and his Cabinet are not corrupt , they must be mad . Traitors or fools they must be . Whichever they are , they betray the Repnblio and _canspire tbe de struction of European freedom , when they ally themselves with the English aristoeraoy . Tbe heart-union of tbe French with the English people is to be earnestly desired , but the alliance ofthe French Republio with the English go * vernment can oDlybe productive of deplorable results to the cause of progress , Behold the results thus far : — Poland silenced by her assassins , Italy re-conquered by the barbarian ? , and _France brought to a state of degradation infinitely more base than tbat to which she was redueed nnder Gwzyrand Louis _Phiiippb . The interests of all nations demand that this perfidious alliance should perish .
All the infamous journals both" of Paris and _fiondsn _, have joined in a charivari against _Lbobu Rollih for his speech—an unanswerable proof of its worth . The _Coff-nrtTiieNNBL and the Joubmal pis Debats , the Tims and the _MoRHiuoCHBONion , join chores to the fame tune of vituperation . Even Laharibix ' _s journal , the Bisr Pcbuo _, follows on the same side . This last-named journal joins our Qrunticlein welcoming ' Count' Molb to a seat in the National Assembly . Molb , the toady , and tool of Napolson ! the devoted servitor of the restored Bourbons ! and not less the devoted instrument of
Loch Philiph the perfidious ! That Molb who ao much admires the blessed despotism of Nicholas , thathe wonld fain ally the fortunes of _Frasee to those of Russia ; tbat he Bhould be received with acclamations by the ' moderate' majority of the Assembly will net excite se much surprise as regret—regret that the 15 th of May was so sadly mismanaged ; but that _Lauartihb _sheuld offer ' . the kiss of life' to this hoary-headed tool of tyranny ,, proves that the worthy poet is so admirably versed in' the art of sinking .

_Agreatnowlis being raised by the press-gang , against _Democracy , en account of recent events at Frankfort . I allude particularly to the killing of Prinoe Licbhowbki . The violent death of any man , whether prince _orpro'itaire _, is to be deplored . But it would be well if the press would _stiok to facts , andnotont-Greenaore Greenacre by telling suoh cock-and-bull stories as the Mobbing Post hss told ofthe hundred deaths the prince was put to . It would have been well , also , if the press generally had stated certain faeta which have been allowed to ooz _* ont in the _eorrespondence of 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 , whioh
was about te enter for the purpose of silencing the popular 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 horsebaok . at tempted to ride down one of the people . Hence tbe exasperation of the multitude was not altogether withont provocation . I lament the death oftbe prince—whether the _Btories told of the manner of his death contain any truth , or not;—but I also lament the _viotims belonging to the ranks of the people , who were tern to pieces and _pulvericed by grape shot . For these viotims the press-gang of course have no pity . Nor have they one word of _sympathy for the unfortunate peopleof Messina—a population of 80 , 00 * Bonis given orer to massacre and violation .

LOUIS BLANC .

Louts Blano , addressed to the _Rsroam , in wbich he denies having Intl . mate relations with Louis Napoleon , I was not a little surprised to meet him at _Btchmond , at Loots
Buonaparte ' s , where I dined with him on Saturday last . He was seated between two Protestant clergymen , who , speaking Frenob , pressed him with _questions on bis sys . tern of the organisation of labonr , He defended himself vehemently against the accusations which weigh upon him , und described himself as a victim offered np to reaction , Notwithstanding the austerity of his Republican ptinclples , U . Lonis Blanc is not sorry . to appear among the English aristocracy , under the patronage of Louis Napoleon . He exhibits himself in tbe carriage of the prince , and takes pleasure in _forgettlag the ingratitude of his eountry in the gilaed drawing-rooms of Richmond . '
In answer to this rile fabrication Louis Blano haa published the following reply addressed to the Patbib : — Sia . —A letter purporting to bave been written in London , and which you hava published , represents me dining at Richmond at tbe bouse , of Louis Buonaparte , riding in his carriage , and appearing under his patronage among the English aristocracy . Theperson who is said to have written this letter , says be dined with me at Richmond . To his allegations I reply—that I have never dined with Louis Buonaparte either at Richmond or elsewhere ; that Louis Buonaparte does not reside at Richmond but in London ; that I do not even know whether he hai a carriage ; and that I hare never been introduced by him In society anywhere . I ehould like to know tbe person who pretends to bave dined with me at Louis Buonaparte ' s , and I only wait for bis naming himself to confound him .

that he accordingly went there en the day appointed , never entered my house . Could you well imagine , sir , that If such a meeting were to take place , particularly when we consider that so muoh _seoteoy mutt ot coarse distinguish that body , as coming within the meaning of thelaw , that I would aot have had some knowledge oi tbe matter , snd that the landlord wonld not , as a matter of course be apprised of sneb meeting f No , it were foolish to consider it ; and as to knowing this Powell , or tbat he and I had ever exchanged a sentiment , wonld be indeed , a great libel en my obaraoter .

¦ -------sp- _^ - _« - EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES . Last week William _Lindfield _. Riohard Orpin , Mary Ann Dryden , and Spencer Lindfield were taken into custody on the serious charge of endangering the life ofa young woman named Eliza , Wils n , by inducing her to take steps to procure abortion . The declaration of the young woman Eliza Wilson , taken in the presenceof Mr Samuel Elyard , a county , magistrate , was handed is by that gentleman , who occupied a seat on the bench . It was aa follows : — * I am in my 32 nd year , and haring 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 need not trouble myself for three or four months . He went with me on Monday , the _ith of September , to _Esst-lace _, bat we could not find out the woman , and en the-following day I went-by myself , but did not succeed in finding her . I -saw Mrs Drjden , who resides in York-street , Walworth , to whom I mentioned tbat I was in the family-way , and informed her I wished to get rid of it . She said it would bs all right if I would pay her is ., which I gave her . She then gave me a box of pills and a bottle of staff , whioh did sot hare the expected effect . Mrs Dryden then went with me on the Wednesday to Mrs _LindGeld ' s _, in Prior-place , East-lane , Walworth , a herb shop . Mrs Dryden said , I hare got a friend of mine come to _sse yon . Mrs Lindfield , without asking any questions , said , ' I will take her upstairs
directly , and shortly after did so , and told me to lay tin the bed on my left side . I did so , and the then performed an operation with some instrument . I went again on the 9 th , and she used the same instrument again , saying . — . I slept there that night , and paid Mrs Lindfield £ 210 s , on the firfit day , and she gave Mrs Dryden a few shillings to take me there . I went to Mrs Lindfield ' _s again on tho 11 th , when she again used the instrument , and when I returned home I was very ill . I told Mrs Lindfield that my father thought I was ill , and she said , ' Nonsense , you are all right . ' Riohard Orpin promised to pay the £ 210 s . but he has not done so . The yeung man called Mrs Lindfield's son was present oh eaoh ocoasion I went , and was perfectly aware of the business I wis on . Elisa Wilson .
Mrs Elizabeth Baker , the wife of a baker , stated she resided next door to the house of Mrs Linfield ; that she had seen 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 came in cabs , and were taken away in similar rehioles ; some of them by gentlemen . Mr Norton—Hare you noticed that some of the females were more advanced in pregnancy than others ? Witness—I hare , Sir . Mr Norton—and you say tbat all left there in about a fortnight ? Witness-Yes , sir , that was about the time . Mr Norton —Hare yon noticed that infants hare been taken from there f Witness—No . sir , I never saw a single baby , removed from the house . ( This answer produced a considerable sensation amongst the crowd iu
the court . ) Mr Norton—Did you not observe any of those numerous women take away their infants with them ? Witness—not one of them , sir . Mr J . Clark , a tea dealer , also residing next door to the prisoner Lindfield corroborated the testimony of thelast witness * , and added that for some considerable time himself and his family were annoyed by a nnisanoe of an intolerable description , and having strong _Buspioions as to the cause , he had a drain whioh led from the cesspool in the prisoner's garden , and passed nnder his kitchen , opened , expecting to . find something improper there , but did not find any thing of the description he anticipated . Hehad a grating placed in the drain so as to prevent any substance passing through ic , and since then the stench , as of putrid matter , was not so bad . The prisoners were remanded .
U 0 BS _SIARTUKO _SIJCLOSDRES . W . Lindfield , S . Lindfield , R . Orphin , and Mary Ann Dryden were again brought up on Saturday on the more serious charge of having caused Elizi Wilson ' s death , she having expired early on Friday morning . An inquest on the body was held on Saturday , and will be found reported below . Superintendent Robinson said that from circumstances that came 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 request a remand to a future day . Mr Robinson added that the premises occupied by both the female prisoners had been thoroughly searohed , and nothing of a suspicions obaraoter had been found . He , however , had caused an extract to be made from the' occurrence book' kept at the station house , and found that during the last twelvemonths the following dead bodies of infants wera found in the

_wtre remanded to a iu . tu _»*< s day . Mr _Gamis _sppliei to have the young man . Lindfield , admitted to bail , but Mr Norton refused to grant the application ; Sii . ce the last examination the case had assumed , by tbe death of the unfortunate young _womau , a mom serious _appoararce . In the course of tbe examina tion two numbers of a morning paper , of October , 1826 , wero 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 , William Lindfield . It appears that a Mrs Burrows , a widow lady of re * spectability , had , in order to conceal ber shame froa
her family and friend * , been privately confined at the house of Mrs Lindfield . Mrs Burrows , short )* after the birth ofthe infant , felt so convinced that a deception had been practised on her , and that tbs infant given to her bad been substituted for her own , that Bhe did not pay it common attention , and it _wal ultimately discovered by the parish authorities inst frightful state of emaciation , with the bnnes nearly - protruding through the skin , and tbe flesh of its thumbs quite raw , from the little creature sucking its flesh , whioh afforded it nourishment . Mrs Lindfield ultimately agreed to take the infant and hai brought him up as her son .
INQUEST ON Villi , WILS 0 H . On Saturday , before Mr Carter , at tbe _Kinsfe Head , Norwood . Thejury having been sworn Uie coroner proposed that they _should view the body ani hear evidence of the identification , in order that bs might be enabled to issue the _ordeis for its interment . After tbat he should support the propriety of adjeurning the inquiry for a lew days in order that the postmortem examination might be satisfactorily completed , and the whole ot the evidence col lected . This course would not only lead to a sarins of time to tbe jury , but of expense to the _oeunty . — Attended by the summoning officers , the coroner and jury then proceeded to the _ressrence of tbe lather of the deceased in _Woodcote-place , and wes »
admitted into the chamber where the corpse lay . There they found Messrs Chapman and Ray , _bbt _geoos . The visit of thejury interrupted the examination of these two professional gentlemen . The face of the deceased , whose features in life _muBt haws been _prepoBBesBing , exhibited all tbe manifestation ! of intense protracted suffering , and the characteristics of a painful death . The forehead was contrasted , the muscles of the face were rigid , and the _hanos clenched . A short time sufficed to satisfy the jury , and they returned , leaving the medical gentlemen to resume their inquiry . On their return to the inquest room the coroner said it would be sufficient for tbs present account to call a witness to identify tha body , and prove the death of the deceased . —John
Benson Wilson , the fatber of tbe _deceased , was then called . He is a venerable man , nearly eighty jeans of age , and his distress of mind created a considerable sympathy amongst all present . He stated that he was not in _business , but lired on his property * consisting of the bouBe he lived ia , and other premises in Norwood . The deceased , whose body tbe jury had just seen , was bis'daughter . Her name was Eliaa . Wiison . She was thirty-one years of age , ami was unmarried . He saw her last alive about eleven o ' clock on Thursday , and saw ber dead about sis o ' olock on Friday . —The coroner said , it would bs useless lo carry the irquhy farther , as all wouU depend on tbe medical evidence which was not new ready to be adduced . On that pointhoweverbs
, , had to ask the jury whether they were of opinion that it would be desirable to bare a second medical witness . He put the question to them _becaeta under the law he had no authority to direct an examination by more than one medical man , bnt tbs law enabled bim , on a requisition from tbe jury , te call in farther medical aid . —Tbe jury , without hesitation , consented to a second medical man beinf called in—One ofthe jury inquired whether it woulfi not be necessary to have the prisoner brought befors them at their next meeting . —The coroner replied ia the negative . The inquiry of thejury involved tws
questions ; first , the cause of death , and secondly * the means by which that event had been originates . It was not necessary to bare the prisoner in custody before the jury to enable them to term a judgment on these two questions . _Addressicg the _Inspeotca _, Emmerson , the coroner said that all tbe wituesM wbo had been examined elsewhere , as well as Mt ? Elyard , the magistrate , who had taken the deposi tion of the deceased in articulo mortis , must be is attendance at the next sitting of the court . Ths warrant for interment was then perfected , and tba jury having been bound in recognisances to apses again , the court was adjourned to a future day .
_COMUIKAL _OTIHBPB 180 S 1 B 3 FOR _WUJOl _IIUBBKR . On Thursday , tbe inquiry touching tne deaths ?

No verdict was retnrned in reference ts William Lindfield , the reputed son of the woman Spedcer Lindfield .

j THE POWELL PLOT . TRIALS AT THE OLD BAILEY . _Sattjbdat , Sept . 23 . —The learned judges , _MrJse tice Erie and Mr Justice Williams , came into coatt soon after ten o ' clock , and tbe prisoner Dowling was placed at the bar . Tbe jury who had been during te night at the London Ctffee house in the charge ofa * officer , were then placed in the box , and the _tris proceeded . The Attorney General said he was prepared to eal a witness or two to speak to one or two minor points whioh it was necessary should be in the knowledge if thejury . Superintendent Evans deposed that on the 15 th iff August he searched the coffee-house near the Lot Denman . _ . _ '
An assistant to Mr Darby , the firework maker , was called to prove that he had onened one of the fine balls , and found that it contained two ounces and « hslfof gunpowder and a quantity of old nails , ft . slow match communicated with the powder from tbs outside , which would barn about half a minute , ani afford an opportunity for any one to ignite it and throw it into a window , when , be said , if it came is oontaot with a curtain or anythingof that description it would in all probability hare set tbe hoase on firs . Mr Peers © , the superintendent of the F division * , proved tbat when the prisoner waa before the maeia _trates at Bow-street , he made tbe Mowing statement : — ' I do net wish to stand here as an Englisa _faotionist . but as an Irish nationalist . My object was
not to diaturb English society , but free my own coos- ¦ try . I feel rery well my position , and I mean te i abide by the consequences . I carried on my business i as a portrait painter at No 5 , Nassau-street , Middle * sex Hospital . This was the case for the Crown . Mr Kenealey then rose to address the jury for tbs > prisoner . He said he did so with feelings of shams i and sorrow , but with no feelings of apprehension fee r the fate of his client . He must confess , however , * , that he was ashamed at the strong manifestation « l political feeling that had been evinced by the Attorney * General in conducting this prosecution , and he _cos-i _sidered that he was practising the system pursued byy those infamous Attorney Generals who existed in thaa time of the Stuarts and the Tudors , and that he wan *
as bsd as any of them . The laws ef thia countrwf were always supposed to be equally administered tots all olasses , and a man was always considered _innoostM until he was found guilty by a jury , and a true law-r yer had been rery properly described as a minister _«& S truth , and a false lawyer shonld be looked upon as ¦¦ minister of untrnth . He asked tbem to look at _Uusus manner ia which the Attorney General badcenductesM this _pretention . In consequence of the course hum ( Mr Kenealey ) had taken , tbe Attorney General ] _, with an air of menace , bad insisted npon trying thus prisoner at once , on account of what he _( Mrii Kenealey ) had done .
