THE 5 ACKLD MO . NTH . We are most happy to perceive that the Council of the Grne .-al I ' oavtutioa have been induced , by ths in . or ¦ nation laid be ' ore th ^ Ui , to rescind the mad vote of that body , or ra * . her - .

J 2 th of Acg-tL-t . The powt-rfal address of Mr . O'CoNKOlt , priated in oar last i ;; mber , has , vre cannot doubt , rendered much * ervice to tluf purp-jse . We perceive that the Council have adopted the * u ££ estion of iir . O'Connou for a holiday of two or three days . . Nethins cau be mort clear , to ojr mind , than that all the practical good vrtieh can eolK&froin a mouth ' ^ holiday , will coma equally from a rfa \ 's holiday . The onlv thine the holiday can
i-S ' , is the proof of union ana determination among the people : and asiDgle day ' * cessation fr < : m labour will drcide that . We are not of tho ? -e who lore double dealing . We have ever bren , and we purpose to be , always , candid and sincere in what we ? ay . It has been charged upon tke Ch&Tti * u , by their enetnieg , that under colour of a National Holid * y , their object waa to organiss a Rational fijjhtj to attack property , and resort at once to aggressive ¦ violence . We do not believe tkat anv Chartist erer
•* o meant it . If it have ever kad this turn given to iv , it must have been either by Boine very shortsighted person , or some villanou * spy . If this vrere indeed the meaning of the Month ' s Holiday , we should then go much the more heartily denounce it , and that for two reason * : first—because we have always denounced , and £ 0 still denounce , any resort to aggressive violence by the people . We hare always maintained that the moral power of the people was irresistible otherwise than by brute force ; but we bare always maintained , and we do still maintajft , that if they « hould fee illegally attaeked by physical xiolence , they We tie natural right of wif-defrto * , width , by * il l » wi , cumin ud DiTite ,

they wuuldthen be justified iu exercising ; and , inasmuch as self-defence requires the me&us of tself-( i efence , * nd a * the people ! can never know how sooa those means may be required , we have at diver . * times strongl y reeoramended the uuivirsal procuration of tho * e meaai . We now repeat that rscommendarion is the rao « omphatie inaimer ot * nich we are capable . The times are awful ! Law is outraged , and justice disregarded continually ! The conten t * of our present paper are appalling beyond parallel ! ThingB would never have come to this pa » H had it been generall y known that tbe people they . ja « t , fiedexercWny ; and , in .
« ere prepared to re » ist lawless aggressions on their pemons aud property . Let the remi » r . e » 8 b « now remedied . In ^ tt . d of spending a whale moathift idleness , or , much worse , in preparing themselves for an edi » y imwoiatien at tke shrine of angry injustice , let the month's wages , or as much of them as can be spared from the immediate want * of a domestic l . dture , be devoted to tbe purchase of good and > -ffi--ient means of protecting life and property . Tfcen when every Englishman is in a condition to defend hii " castie" against the midnight visitations of nocturnal plunderers and a .-ifajyiu * , it will be &oou euougii to talk about a Sacred Month ..

» ergcant Goulbcbm rose to reply . Ho said be baii never known u prosecution tha : bad b « en coauucted more unfairly . Tne Attorney General iu hw opening sketch , had told them thiit it was a bill whivh had been found by tan Gmad Jury ot Warwick , whit-b . w » s very true ; but uow aw tLitri < tl they wee afraid of urutgiag forward their piincipal witne 8 « eg . He did noc ktwvf h ^ w til - John Campbell , the Attorney -General , and w&o wat ; , when out of office , exceedingly i ' odJ of calling himself plain John C- uipbvil , could recoccile to hiinself hi * conduct in thi- c . we of prosecutiou . He challenged , on this ground , iu the face of that Court , aud in tbe face of the country , that the
prosecution wait carried on in an unfair meaner . It b . id beeu shown that tbe primmer was a man of an excellent character ; that he was a peaceable njae ; that had been shown already by the Atrorney-Gviieral ' tf own witnesses ; but he ( Sergeant Goulbtin ; , ) would show if null more by a witness that he would call , and such a witneaa that they would nor or-ject to . It was true that he wa * a man of extreme poiittci * , and of politics ' hat he ( Sergeant Goulburn ) did not approve of ; but tha last witness was going to tell the Jury all thi ? , when the Attorncy-Geueral put bitn do « n . VVUa could « vtr have thought this of a Government functionary , coming down to prosecute a poor working man— with all
the wwalth and influence of the Treasury at hb command , thac he would clo--e toe mouvh oi a witneNa in his favour . Hue if any- one wanted ; to know the reaaon , he ( Sergeant Iroulburu ) could tell them ic wa $ bt'Oause the prisoner wa ^ apuor working man . If you would be on good tvrma with a Whig Government , vou niuut never find any fault , you must approve of all their ac ; s . We all know whit thej are in otiice , and whaa they are wten out of office . Had they beuu out ot cilice they woulci have said the lari ^ augi : of cheir placard was the voice of tbe nation ; and , to talk of prosecutiontbt-y wou ' id have Uu ^ hcd at it , and called it the * ni « per of a faction . If the Auornev-Geuersi , a-

The preoe-tic was a most extraordinary trial ; it had been conducted with alt

Tn > .- poor man found himself indicted one day—ih < - draper and friead of the Attornej-Geueral Sound himself suddenly at the bar , aud De was a vood deal astonished to find that his chosen and particular f ' rit'iid was about to be the proaecutcr . He v * rot > s tht- Atiorney-Genetal a ¦ cicsf , and a reptv was pent "hicii wan so curious tha : he had procured
a copy . It stated that the draper aid some others in the town hari been under a slight mistake mnupposingr that the Government h ^ d had anything to do with tlie prosecution , which , in trutli , was ujt a G ^ veroaieut one at all . That he had l > e < .-rc one day merely as a private barrister sitting in the Court , wh » n he had received a brief to upj > iy to the Court of Q'ieen'u i > ench fur a crimiua . 1 information Rgainst the pwty ; clsac he had heeu ohligtd to make th . « appiicatUii in tlie discharge of nis duty , as any other geatlemaa of the bar would have done , but that in addressing the Court he hail spoken , not in hia own person , but according to tae instructions he bad received . ( Laughter . ) He hoped hia Learned Friend was not speaking in his own person that day- -possibly he Blight , but if not , he 'vas merely following the precscent seton a former occasion . As the cireuimtanea was matter
ot history , he really thought the Attorney-General should state in what capacity he was (< p !> akiug . Why , if he was not mistaken , the Attorney-General had himself addressed crowded * eonatitn . rncien , and he did not quarrel with him for that , and had urged them very feelingly to comt-iue for the obtaining of their ri < , Mt * . He mi | iht therefore poanibiy be now speaking from his n ) -itructio > -9 . There was ona purt of too cane which had been ingeniously Bhut out , And which must have ^ reat wtight v . -ith the Jury . It was the most Hnfiiir and unjiNtih ' able way in which hi * clieut had been dealt with . They ha « l goue before the Grand Jury with one case , and they had tried another . One class of cases had been selected in the h ' rat instance to produce iu proper impression , and they must have observed the » ta « e eflec ; with which the
verdu-t of the jury had been iHtrodueetj in the course of hi 8 opening speech by the Attorney-General . They could net forget that piece of acting . He was about to showtheman act which be had good grounds for saying was without a precedent in a Court of Jmtiee . Here wa 9 a poer man of the working clasi , one of the most reupectable of that claw which the AttoTuey-Geuera ^ , when tbe occasion served and suited him , was in the habit of commending . He was a man who worked for bis bread , but who chose to cultivate h \ % mind a \ id to discus * » U tne , public questions freely and fairly . He was without wealth or means , and he was brought before the Magistrates , and put upon his trial by the following mesas : —The Magistrates get the Learn'xl Recorder of Biruii » gnwn , a gentleman of wreuty year *' itandiag at tab bar , to come upon the btu / cn for the

Lovett pleaded Not GuiUy . J't ^ ge Littledale . inquired it Mr . Lorett wati eukled to traverse- , ivnd upon ascert « ir . ing that ho w . s cot , he intihike-J the lie to be « o to the travtfser . \ U observed that he had made the inquiry , wthout desiring to kn » w whether or not it wax tbe wish of the prisoner to traverse . Tne Jury w «« tien sworn .
Ihe Attorney-General said that at he perceived tlar Air Lnvttc it-raided rod ^ tf-rjd biiiw-lf , it would * e m-. rc coBvenieut for bun icsteatl of Mrandiug at oe bar to come . i . » wn 10 the table .

The Attorney General asktd if be could ^ asslg * ajy reason .
' Mr . Lovett said that one of tbe Jury had expessed a wish that all the Chartists should be hung . The Attoney-General— You must give evidence oi that . In a charge of felony a certain number of \\ & Jury can be ehaUeuge-1 without cause ; but in a cme of misdemeanour 70 a can only challenge aligning 3 caj « e tirr no tioing , and proving it . , Kir . Lovett—There i * a , difficuliy in that , bat I suppose 1 mast eab ' mit to the Jury tnat have bee » sel « cted .
ihe Attorney-General—There han been no selectiot—they have be > ru baliotted —I c « ald have ordered junrs to he set aside , and in no one ic » tance bav » 1 oboe * o . There has heen no election , and thero ba » been no interference on the part of the Crowa wih the Jury . £ r . WadJington then stated that ike traveler wai indicted lor publishing a false , scandalous , an * inflammatory lib * l , to which he had pleaded not guilty . * The Attorney ^ General then addreswd the in
Jury a speech . recapitulatiEg ihe events ont of which the prosecution had arigeti , atd conceded by a ful .-o ; ne puae »; yric on tke Jurors , fur tb « manner m which they had mL-fied him in dealin with the former prisoner * . The witness being thu name a « m the fwmer cases , the Attorney-General Hftid he would either ex » . mir . e those witness * or if the defendant made no abjection , the evidence tba * they had alread y given . » h « uld be read over to them trom his > TorsUip ' s notes , and Mr . Lovett ahouU have the opportunity of cross-examining them either ic the one w < iv or the other .
Mr . Lovett * a \ d bw approved of the plan auggeatwl by the Attoiuey-General , of ibe wnnersta bemsr exiled into th « box , and their evidence rtad over to thera . The depositions of tbe geveral witneswes were the » read over to them , and several of them were crow * . exammed by Mr . Lovett , but the only iaportaai matter was th « Cross-examination of Mr . T . C . S 3 U . —Has received two letters from defendant since tbe Contention was estaiiiisbed , and tae manuscript resemble defend ant ' s handwiiting so much that he belkvee it to be his . Never » aw defendast write , and therefore , lor aught witness knows , the two letters alloded to
might have been written by any © tier pereon , as well as the present manuscript . Has known defendant * political principles lor aorce time . NeTer tnew him advocate violent or criminal modes of redrewing grievances . The whole spirit of defendant * * words and cenduct , as f » r as witnees has obsetred , had exhibited a disgust of all violence , and a dasir © to produce change only by influencing public opinion . Witness says tbia , judging from defendant's speeches and documents , and aUo from private and cenfidential conversation . VV ' itnes * was a member of the General Convention . Believe 1 it to be a perfectly legal one : and that , previously to putting forth its rules , they applied to
a counsel for bin opinion ef their legality . W «» aware , aW » , that the objects of the Convention were to watea over a bill entitled the People ' s Charter , which it wai propoxed to introduce into tbe House of Cotnnians , as weil * s to watch over a petition in favour of thu meajiur * ; and aUc . to obtain , by ait legal aad constitutiittml means , an equal share « f political power for tBe unrepresented miilioug . Wait satisfied that they never contemplated any divisio * of property , which had been attributed te the Convention as a body .- Witness ' s resignation as a member of that badr originated in his utter and entire
disapprobation « f upeeches attributed to individuals of that body . Has heard very violent speeches from members of the Legislatare in their individual capacity , but has heard very few speeches from members * of thu Legislature , and cannot recallect any particular speech at present . TheTO is some doubt who originated tha General Convention . It eitker originated in Mr . Philip Henry Munta , or Mr . T . AC wood . WitneM does not know which . Tbe tivle is the ^ General Convention of the industriont classes . Witness is not aware whether Mr . Q'Coan « U advised it qt not .
A lonp conversation then ensued between ti » Judge and Vlesurs . 'WaidittgUn and Balguy , as t » whether there -was ovidnn . ee of publioarion ; th « Judge doubting it , ar . d the counsel for tho provocation , inmriug th * r the proof of hand-writiag *« prima fads , evideace of the publication , throw
