^ Elephant public-house , TibVstreet , Manchester , jafterwards adjourned , to the Prince Regent ' s Ann * ' inn , . Ancoats , on ^ ie 3 , 1 th of June in that year . The jTOTemment became alarmed , arid resorted to the old practice of sending spies and mfonners through the conntry , whose objects of coarse . was . to make the treason cuid sedition inhere they ipanteilit . One of - these wretches , a scoundrel of tie name of Fleming , Ilbeliere an Irishman , found his-way to the pre-. Jiminary meeting in question . Me . ' Rmghf -was there . ; yiih a pennon and resolutions in favour of Parliamentary Reform . The meeting had not been very long as-erobled , before Nadin , 4 he then depuw conitable ol Manchester * attended by a strongpolice
« nd military force , made bis appearance , and took the whole party ( Fleming excepted ) into custody . They were immediately conveyed to the New Bailey , from whence they ^ were committed in a few iaysio Lancaster . Castle for trial at the following xasizes , on the ^ charge vof administering ., nnlawful oaths . On the examination at the New Bailry , a ercumstaiice occurred , which ought to have satisfied the magistiates as to the mier : worthlessDe 3 s of the tridence of the wretch Ffemiug . In placing the prisoners at the " bar , oneof the turnkeys , of the name if £ vans , was miiett with them . Fleming , on beifif asked to angle out one of the prisoners to whom he was swearing r a 3 iaving been activein administering
Bnlawful oaths , actually fixed on Evan * , and swore ie was tie man ! And yet in the face of this palpable 2 >« 33 uryy the magistrates committed the priloners ( Uany- ^ igtt in anjnber ) for trial , on the eridence of Qie wretch wlio had so maniestly perjired himself . Few trials of a political nature have , « t any time , excited jnore interest in the North of England than This did . Soon after the committal « f the prisoners , both parties begun preparations . Against tiie prisoners was arrayed the whole power of the crown . Mr . Parke , the present Mr- Justice Parke , then Attorney-General for the Comity Palatine of Lancaster , "was of course , leading « ransel for the Crown ; with Mm . were many of the most
ennneut lawyers of the day . Mr . Atkinson , a res pectable solicitor , in Manchester , ( to whom was ( toon added Mr . Fanlkes of the same" town , also a -wry-acdre solicitor , ) was- immediately engaged " for flte prL-oners , These gentlemen lost no time in r etailing for the defence some of the first eonnset wha traveHed . the Horthem circuitaaanj of those so engaged have since attained the Tery highest eminence in the prolession . Among them were , Mr . Scarlett , the present Lord Abinger , Mr . Wflliams , the present Justice William ? , together " nith Mr . Broughamj tbs present Lord Brougham , * ho was specially retained for them , "by a fee o ? £ 20 . from that verj ~ excellent man , the late Major Cart"wnghL On . the trial , Fleming , swore positively to toe whole uf the prisoners , and ., to the
adminisna-Bon of unlawful oaths . Fortunately he fixed on "Washington as being the person wbo administered Ihe oaths . The counsel for the defence tied him 5 own to _ the precise time of such oaths being adamistered . ' He' twore to a time , at which it was impossible for . Washington to have been there . It jo happened that he ; had been in the afternoon of Ifae ^ lay is ' question to Gee Cross , t * senre an . execuaon . .

Tleming as that at which the oath was said to have been admimstered . The judge , the late Mr .

. - " ~ 7 - m ' : OASTLEE p . THORN HILL . . TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND . FEiiow-CoujiTRTM BN , —To you has Mr . Thornnm appealed , —ye are my judges . I thank God tnat yoB nave been selecte-i by my antagonist as his ^ ' -L you J a PPeal most cheerfully . I kuow that the man of £ 40 , 000 a-year will not be able to awe or bias you , nor in any way to warp your judgment ., Judge then between us . _ 1 have already told you somewhat of my case . Bear with ae , and grant me your attention whilst 1 proceed . During the time , that I was visiting Mr . ThornhiH at Riddlesworth , in December , Ib 35 , 1 took jsome pains to mark the workings of the New Poor Law in that district . 1 mixed with the gentry , rannerej and labourers ; I found the latter , to a man , disgusted with its operation . I heard taat thefts were then very common in places where , before the introduction of that curserobberies had
, be _ en unknown 1 I found a settled feeling of determined revenge enthroned in the breasts of the la bourers , and that every respect for private property was-fast vanishing away . Some of the farmers admired the law—others complained heavily of its operation . 1 remember riding with one farmer- we ¦ were-passing a field where sheep were pasturing he said— "Mr . Oastler , since this law was introduced here , our labourers think that there is no harm in stealing any thing ; nor do 1 wonder at it . I declare , before 1 would be sent to one of thrf union workhouses , 1 would leap over that hedge , kill one of those sheep , and live on the mutton uniil-J wanted another , and I should think no harm in it . " But added he— "it is rery dangerous for us farmers to . say a word against the New PoJr Law here . It is as mnch as our farms are worth , the landlords are all so very fondof it . "
1 visited two of the accursed bastiles . I heard much of Dr . Kay , the assistant Poor Law Commissioner . I found that he was deluding the poo ? agricultural labourers , and persuading them to come ' to Manchester . He was representing that place as the very Gosfcen of England . Now , , t so happened that I n&d read a boot v . viUen ly ihissaji ^ Dr . Kay , in which he bad described Manchester as the most miserable , unhealthy , debauched , and demoralized }> lace on the face of the earth—nay , that it was indeed and in truth a very nell upon earth . During the time that I was visiting the Squire , I wrote a lew letters to the London Dispatch ^ telhn ^ all that I lad seen aud learnt . In these letters , i told few
a anecdotes about Dr . Kay , as well as about other people . They were dated irom " Riddieswprth . ' Mr . Thornhill wrote to me , soon alter ; expressing his sorrow that 1 should date such letters 1 rom his house , and telling me , that if he were Dr . Kay , " he would commence an action against me . I told him that I had written nothing but the truth , aud that if Dr . Kay wished to give me the opportunity to prove that what I had written was tru > , 1 should be very glad to meet him in acourt of justice . This teas the first time Mr . ThornJiill had Jound fault urith my-proceedings icith reference to the Kew Poor Law . Those letters of mine gave great oflence to Dr . Kay . The slaves of landlordswho visit at
, Hiddiesw orth , took up cudgels for their master , Kay , and Mr . Thornhill was perpetually annoyed by their andhis remarks abont " " his Yorkshirestewara . " All this came to TDy ears at intervals . Then came th « determined opposition of the ratepayers of Fixby to the Poor Law Commissioners , followed by a correspondence between Mr . Poor Law Commissioner Frankland Lewis , and Squire Thornhill , about the trouble which hi . - * Yorkshire steward gave to the three kings , " and urging him to intrriere . Following this , a few letters were forwarded to me bv Mr . Thornhill J thp . se letters were intended to induce the
Fixby ratepayers to yield to the commissioners . -Afterwards , I addressed myself io Lord John Russell about the Kew Poor Law ; my letter * were published , and they were daf cd " Firby Hall . " One of these offended Mr . Thornhill . He wrote to Ml me that , altuough he had a very bad opinion of Lord John Russell , yet he was sorry to see " his " house disgraced by . having such a letter dated from it . 1 Teplied , that-I was sorry that he should be grieved at such a circumstance ; but that as to ' ¦• disgracinghis house , Fixby Hall , " the greatest disgrace was , -that its owner teas absent ^ and the poor were starving all round it . - ¦ - ¦ '
1 nourfelt that Mr . Thomhill ' s mind was poisoned ; that Lewis and the poor law landlords were prevailing , and that sooner or later 1 shonld . receive a notification that " we must part . " 1 had made up my mind that 1 would oppose the New Poor Law , if need be ^ to the death . I did , however , expect that Mr . Thornhill would not forget that he had always ranked amongst gentlemen ; that he would give me notice of his intention , and tell me his reasons .- He determined otherwise ; 1 did not com-• plaiD ^ although J was surprised . : In April and May last 1 was confined by severe H \ ne ** . Whilst 1 was thus confined , 1 received a letter , contain ng my discharge . 1 had received no hint ¦ i ^ fere , except from those Iriends of his who had olten advised me to desist , from my oppostion w the New Poor Law , if 1 intended to retain his ¦ tievardshp .
After discharging me , Mr . Thornhill assured me that . "he vished -me vseU -on my oicn account , and doubly . » o on account of my father ; " and there I supposed tie matter would end . But you shall soon h ' ear h ^ w an ** Old English Gentleman , all of the ; oldeh 7 tiiaes , " ( oh ! what a falling off is there in the breed" !) proves the sincerity of his gcod wishes to an old " and faithful servant , and how he " doubles" that anceritytoason ' of the very best steward man ever n « L - ¦ ¦ -. " » " For myselfj I was lather reh ^ eved than grieved when ! vwtio longer encumbered by the cares ol office . Whs profits had always been to me a dead Aw « ., J appeal to Mr . Thornhill , Mr . Rambbotham ,
( my , successor , ) and Mr . Chadwick ( the under-* tew « rd ) , i ^ after my discharge , 1 did not do every thing that man could do to Tender my removal as liiflerinconsenient as possible to any of them , or to the t ^ iianU . I offered bed and board to Mr . Rams-^ bthaih . i _ tendered every information . I desired Mr ;; Chadwick to inform Mr . Ramsbotham that 1 TrouJdi if ^ he -wished it , attend the July rent davs , aad mtrodace him to the tenants . I assured lAt R 6 m * botham thathe was coming amongst the best ¦ fenadtfyin England , and that he had engaged to « serrelthe best of masters . When I saw any of the ten « nts ,- -l * poke in the highesttermsof both Thorn-^ Lr ^^ fe ?^!^ --, ,, correspondence between Mr and elf
, THornMn my > continued to be . on the mpttfrieudly footing , Uf ^ onrsel asked for up : jed ^ ni .

Thoruhill would try to " defend himself" from the remarks in the u printed paper . " That he would try to prove that h : was not a " self-exiled landlord , * " < fec . Judge , thenof
, my surpris , when I lound on the very same day on which Mr . Thornhill had written to me the above letter , he had sent the following , with a positive injunction to his new steward that it should be j ; ublishert ' instanter" in all the Yorkshire and Lancashire papers ! During the time that Mr . Ramsbotham had this letter of Mr . T . ' s in his pocket , 1 wait attending with him at Calverify , endeavouring to advance Mr . Thornhill ' s interests . 1 shewed him every letter which had passed between myself and Mr , Thornhill since his appointment . He took wine with me at the inn—] took wine with him and with his father-in-law , the Vicar of Calve .-ley , at the Vicarage . Of course he did not mention Mr . ThoruhiU ' s letter nor any of the circumstances to me . If he had he would have been a wiser man than he has proved bimself to be .
Now , fellow-country , judge between us . What do yon think of any man who , under all the circnmstancKs narrated by me , could pen and publish Ihe following r"To the Editor of the Leeds Intelligencer . "Mr . Editor , ——Sir , —Having seen a printed paper this day which invites persons to join in a procession toaccoinpany Mr . R . Oastler upon his leaving my house , Fixby Hall , and which appears to show that I parted with Mr . Oastler ( my steward ) upon thft subject if tbe Poor Laws , I think it is proper , in justice to myself , to state-, that I discharged Mr . R .
Oastler because he converted my money to his own use ; and paid so little attention to my concerns and his duty , that the persons employed under him have cheated me . " Should any person doubt this , I am willing to prove it to his satisfaction if he will call upon me at anytime . •¦ You will much ohlige me by inserting this in your paper . Your obedient servant , "Thomas Thornhill . "Cowes , 17 th August , 1838 . "
"Short and sweet , " is it not ? This wasintended to be in all the local pnpers on Saturday the 25 th ult ., the very day when tens of thousands of my friends had resolved to accompany me from " his nouse , " to their busting . Bisiniention was to take me by surprise—to damn my character at one blow—to shut up " the begging box , " and to drive me , " a ragged nwcal , liaked through the world . " This was the i ? itentiGn of the man whoin I and my revered father had served faithlully for thirty-eight years . He had turned me out of my home . He had deprived me ol bread , and he would have stolen my character alsoit God had placid it trit / iin his reach J We shall see , before we have done , who is thereal thief , Thornhill or Oastler .
It so happened that Providence put me in possession of the deep-laid plot before it exploded . I had just time to meettae . dagger of Thornhill by inserting the following in the same papers with his letter ; and he may thank his stars that God reveale . i the ireasunjust in time , else Fixby would , in all human probability , have had a very black appearance justnow . [ Here loflows the letter and postscripts , which were published in our paper of the first of September . } . Fellow-countrymen , jadge of the real statu of Mr . Thomhill's miud on the notable 17 th of Augu > t , 18381 Still another letter of the same date , and
from Cowes too ! This was discovered , during Saturday alternoou , to have been inserted in one paper only—that was the Halifax Gi / ardiuu . Just read ir , and then say what you think of poor Squire Thornhill , after he had fallen out with his old steward , and had been hampered by the Poor Law Commissioners ? How all tuis motley jumblement coold proceed from the same place , tiie same pen , and all on -the * same day , is a mystery which" ouly be understood by those who know what an Aristocrat is when he is vexed with himself . His old steward , had he been . at his elbow , would have saved him from this exposure of his meanness , ignorance , cowardice , and vice . I copy the letter as 1 find it in the Halifax Guardian .
"To the Editor of the Halifax Guardian . " Sir , —Having just received a printed paper , which I consider * tends to lower me in the estimation of my tenantry , I think it is proper to say , that my reason for discharging Mr ; R . Oastler ,- my late steward , was that I teared from his entering so deeply into the politics of the day , that he would not have it in his power to settlecertoin < ums of money tliat he is in my debr , and I" did not think he paid sufficient attention to my bnsinegs . I shall led much obliged by your publishing this , as I must consider . " -I have been insulted by the Huddersfield placard now before me . Your obedient servant , "Thomas Thornhill . "Cowes , August 18 th , 1838 . " .
Which waa written first , and which last , doth not yet appear . It is known , however , that t / iis version was the last to appear in print . Sonid day we shall know all about . it . It is rumoured tbat the two samples were sent . for the choice of the Poor Law Commissioners , and' that Chadwick decided " tkat they wenvboth bwjt . " He is fond of double Tertdon ; and is said to have declared , " If we separated these . two , we shall offend Oastler . " If so , for once I thank " friend Edwin . " They are indeed "loth best . "
Yon will now perceive that the charge of theft is now abandoned , as well as that of neglect of duty , or of allowing - "persons' employed under me to cheat him . " All the crvnes charged against me are herespungedoxjt-by the Squire himself ; and he now tells you'that he was in a passion at other persons , and ; therefore was determined to pay 10 s . 6 d . for advertising how cross he wasat them ; and then he resolved ' alsd toinfonn . ybo , ' that "he was frightened that I could not pay him what I was in his debt , " because " 1 , entered go deeply into the politics ol the day ! " The enraged aristocrat was not aware that I was at the very moment when he wrote that , making arrangements to offer him the money , and just see if- he -would be mean enough to lake it .
iiut this is not all . If he did discharge me because he feared" that I conld not pay him , how happens it that hfe ^ iever asked me about it ! Did he think that the best way to . enable a man to pay his debts was to depnye him of the means ?

I could not speak out plainer . If there were any reason fora charge of theft or negligence , surely no man , alter receiving this letter , could have evaded the plain declaration and proof ; But no ; an angry Aristocrat , in the trammels of the Poor Law Coin mi ^ sioners , is unlike any other creature inhabiting earth or li « ll . This is all the answer 1 have yet received from Thornhill to these plain home questions . You will , I hare no doubt , think with me that it is no answer to my letter : — ' " Riddlesworth , Sept . 1 , 1838 . " Sir , —I did not return from a visit on the other side ot Norwich , in time to answer your demand sooner .
"'Tha rental of my estates in Yorkshire , with the accounts of receipt 1 " and disbursements , as made bv yourself will show the dencieucy ; and you well know that at a settlement you were obliged to confess your situation , and that I have your promissory note , dated April 12 , 1836 , lor . £ 2 , 405 8 s . 7 d ., a . sma ^ parV ol' which you have paid off .

"THOMAS THORNHILL . " To Mr . R . Oastler . " Instead of proving that I had " converted any of his money to my own uses , " he acknowledge «< that my own accountsprovethedeficiency- ^ -that he holds my promissory note for the amouut—^ part of which , he says truly , ! have paid off . Here ' s Uieft with a witness !—proved by my Own accounts , and secured by my own note , which is acknowledged to be in regular course of liquidation ! WasHver any thing so baser—ever apy thing so dastardly ? Under all the circumstances ot the case , was there ever any act so cruel ? Fellow-countrymen ,. 'I confidently appeal to you for your verdict . He knew that all this money which had to
was my own , I appropriated his uses . All this was fully explained to him years before . In con > equeuce of that Kxplanatiou ke advanced my salary i ! ' 200 a year ! Then the debt was gradually and proportionately reduced , as the accounts well testified ! I have served him in conjunction with my father nearly 38 years , and neither of us have ever yet received ( one furthing for our services . The salary was never equal tu the expenses . Had we " . * pon » ed " the tenniits , I should now have been rich , and then , ol ' coursrt , highly respected by Mr . Thoriihiil . But I should have uierited the caufempt and hatred of wyery pood man ! I should , in that case , have despised myself . But , says he , " Yon were obliged to confess yonr situation . " So 1 Was ; his . iiig ratitude to his old
puder-steward " obliged" me to tell him 1 would no iougt-r serve him for nothing ! You will observe that Mr . Thornhill evades every question . Not one word now about my neglect , < tec ; and as to my allowing other persons tu cheat him , lie mumble ' s something about Calverley , " which I donot understand . He knows very welltbat Mr . Nathaniel : Kershaw—not Richaro Uastler- ^ has been his ' 'confitiatile , " as to all matters there , since the old untter-.-te ward was discharged .. No doubt things have gone on queerly there since then . But ¦ th ' nt is not to be wondered at . Neither am I to be bkm « d . Mav every aristocrat , 'whoinsulU his steward by appointing spies , be cheated as th y deserve ! This is my hearty prayer ; and if Tli . ' irnhill has been thus chfsued , lie hnsonly inet with his proper reward .
Let him remember his behaviour to his old and faithtul servant , JamesThonip .-oh , raid blush . It is time ihat he felt that a servant's character is as valuable as a lord ' s estate . You will observe that Squire Thornhill does not say one word . about the correspondence , between hiinst'lf and Frankland Lewis , the Poor Law Commissioner , particularly ' that letter wherein it is stated- " that the Commissionees are much annoyed by his steward , " etc . cfec . ¦ No , no , that was rather top home a thrust ibr the Siinire , but we must set out some how .
He tells me along rigmarole pile about writing to the Commissioners , to ' entreat" them not hurt "' his property , " < fec .-etc .. Now , I asked . no qiiesiions about his correspondence with the Commissioners ;" it was his correspondence with ¦> ' » Fraukland Lewis , the Poor Law Commissioner , " that 1 asked about . Now , Thornhill ^ be honest t or once , and out with all those letters . We rthall then see Uie ^ kiud of influence which is resorted to by the Poor Law blood hounds to carry out this great ki bpon" "to the labourers ! " Now do publisrr these letters of Lewis ' s about your refractory s eward , and let us also have your answers . 1 know that you had them . Their contents have been laid before me . I must now , fellow-countrymen , leave this matter in your bauds . I did not reply to Mr . Thoruhill ' s last letter . This shall be my answer .
You will be surprised to hear , however , that the Squire has , since then , deigned to write ta the " ¦ thief ! - " - This is a copy of hi * letter , . ' " Riddlesworth , Sept . v , 1838 . "Sir , —I request you will inform ttie what day , after the lOtli of this month , you will be either in Londoh or Huntingdon , at the George Inn , to settle the account , " Thomas Thobnhill . . ¦ ¦ " To Mr .

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE , Mark-Lane , Monday , September 17 . The weather has been very tine since thin clay ee ' iinight , and harvest work has proceeded moat favourabl y in all the southern districts , where it is nearly brought to a close .

The wind hitvinjt beed favourabls since Saturday , many vessels are
dropping in , and thfi better the choice , the more free have be « n the oales . Flour was fully as dear , and ship samples were in somewhat better demand . Fine heavy Barle . y realised last week ' s currency , and such was takeaofi to a fair extent by the distillera , wh ' ilot ' the secondary sorts were offering lull Is per quarter lower . .

SMITHKIELD BATTLE MARKET , SEPT . 17 . [ Whenever the wordstone occurs in thesepricesthroughaut thispnyer , it is to be considered as the imperial stone of 14 lbs arid auch only , no other being lawful . ] There wag , perhaps , one of the largest supplies of Beasts in our niaTket this morning- which we recollect to have withesied during the whole ol the present year , whilst the general quality ot' the stock was very inferior . The attendance ot both London and provincial buyers was by no mean * numerous , and eveh the primest Beasts offering experienced an exceedingly he ; ivy s ; ile at barely hist week ' s prices , it being with the utmost dilJiqulty that 4-s per 81 bs could be procureJ in any instance . The middling and interior Beasts must be noted 8
fully 2 d per ' ibslower than oji Friday . last , and even at that reduction . a great number left the market unsold . We observed in the market fivud polled Scots , the property of her- 'M ' iijesty Queen Victoria , which were bred in Windsor Great Park , offered lor sale by Mr . Vorley ; but they were of popr quality , 'l ' he supply of Sheep was . for the time of the year , good , and the traile was in a very dull and depressed state , at a depression of 2 dpor 81 bs . We were well supplied with Lambs , in . ' the quality of which , a material falling off was apparent , whilst the sale for them was in it heavy state , at a decline on the currencies noted on last marked day of 2 d per Slbs . On UCCOUlit , chiefly , of thHHupply of Calvera being large , the Veal trade was exceedingl y dull , biu we ciin notice no alterution . in the prices . All kinds of Pigs , although the fiuunly of them was short , went off slowly at laterates ,
P or some time past there has been a great falling off in the arrivals of live Beasts , sheep , and Lambs , by steam-vessels , from Scotland , which circumstance is solely attributed to the low , and by no means remunerative prices which are being realised : in this market from that stock received from Scot and . Thfi few Boasts on sale from Aberdeen were of very middling quality . ¦' - '¦ We ' recKived fresh up to this day ' s market 27 Scots , honiebreds , and Devons , from Norfolk ; 60 Devons , Scotsj and Runts , from Suffolk ; 100 Devons , Runts , and Herefords , from Essex ; 70 RunU and Scots from Cambridgeshire ; 12 l > 0 Shorthorns , from Lincolnshire ; 800 shorthorns , Devons , anil Runts , from Leicestershire ; 3 S 0 shorthorns and Devons irom Northamptonshire ; 60 Staffords , from Staffordshire ; 2 U 0 Devons , Runts , Herefords , and Irish Beasts , from Oxfordshire aud Warwickshire ; trbm Herefordshire , 320 Hereford a ; from Devonshire , 290 Jpevpns ; from Scotland , by sea , 30 Scots * from Su > UfiX , 60 Devons and Oxun ; from Surrey , 80 Cows ' , Runts , and Deyoiis ; and from Kent , 15 Devons and ftunts . Th « remainder of the supply of Beasts came from the neighbourhood of London : .
The supply of Sheep was chiefly composed of 0 \ & anfl new Lincblns and Leicesters . From Scotland , we received 200 Sheep and Lambs ; frbin Boston , 300 ditto , by sea .
