" Northern Star Offico , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . f £ p ontlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IX y «; ur earliest eonvenienoe , the same quantity of PARK'S . LIFE-PILLS ' as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating tbe flittering intelligence of the groat good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It iB clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially eiuco its usohas contributed so largely to tho public health . The fact is , however , preajudice is fast giving , way as it always must where the pills are tried . A few ca ? es in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense good . Ske had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad thai no one could hear her speak ; hut having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PiLLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by . the way she Ruoko . " Very many cases of extraordinary cure 3 have occurred among the aged vrorkpeople , both male and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old ago , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR ' S LIFE PILLS , and in a . week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit ; so much to , that from being unable to work at their calling more- thantwo days in the week , asd this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now . not ouiy do a full week ' s work , but orerhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owur-r , aie enabled to get as much employment as they c&n do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had beeu employed in their absence ; aud it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share ef their rancour . The old people continue to take the pill 3 re ^ ui arly in tmall quantities , and findthc » as necessary to their health and prosperity as iheir daily food . . " Tho next and last case which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the faot as I have received it from his employer , and from Mr . J , Bobsou , who has frequently seen him since bis convalesence . The man is a workiug meohanio and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purposo . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to take anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with-melancholy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a fow boxes , which ha 7 e completely removed his disease , and enabled him to return to his work , where he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasum aad gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction . . , " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are afc perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . lam , Geatiomoa , youts , respectfully , "WILLIAM HICK . "To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . " MIRACULOUS " CURE FS 0 M THK USB OF PARR ' S LIFE PILLS . Copy of a Lett ° r just received by the Proprietors from Mr .

" Gentlemen—I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , cffected solely by the persevering use of year Parr ' s Life Pills . Beforo having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years affl'eted with a . moat distressing malady , which the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocelo ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared there was no other chance of either relief or cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thu 3 driven almost to despair ; and coufcuHed tho treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein ho states that tiie operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painlul and uncertain aa experiment , but rather chose to kavo the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Peek ' s Ljfk Pills , and resolved to give tbem a fair trial , l . corisequ . entlv took them for some time without perceiving any ' benefit , but fetiil kept perseveviug ; , and I have now taken twelve boxes , aud to my great joy I am perfecrly well , the dvnpsy is entirely remorea , together with a scorbutic affeotion , which I had been much troubled with since my return from India ia 1027 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in better health and spirits than I h&vebeon for fourteen years . I feel certain you . would have accounts of far more cures , if people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I give you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this latter , " and" will gladly answer any applications either personally or by lettar , and remain your grateful and obliged servant . ; ( Signed ) » W .

ADDRESS OF THE HUNT'S MOXUMEN'T COMMITTEE TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN ; BUT MORE PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . Fellow " Wobeisg Me>\—We , the members of gje monument committee , having had our attention dravn to a letter which appeared in the British Salesman , on Saturday l « st , August 27 th , which coejaina sd attack on the character of Feargus O'Connor , £ . q ., vhich , if true , would be calculated to i : ; jure him in the estimation of the ¦ working classes generally ; and ts such stuck refers to the conduct of that gentleman , whilst he "vras at Manchester , daring which time he jcnsdercd himself to have come at the expreKS wish and invitation of the committee to perform a public , - ^ ' - ' * '" - — ' —¦' ¦¦
duty : and we having had favourable , opportunity of wstchirg his conduct very closely , whilst he remained in Manchester ; as men who respect our own characters , ve feel bound , in justice to Mr . O'Connor , to put yon jn possession of what we ourselves aaw ; and in somewhat to answer , or rather to reply to , tho very serious charges of a person who , for reasons best known tD himself , Las signed in the aobigc-ns terms of "An Old Cbartist . " We Ehall also have a remark or two to jnite in reference to the comment ef the Editor of the Statesman on that letter , calculated as it ia to increase tee injury , by calling public notice to it in a " Lc-adtr , " which is always considered by journalists to iive greater weight , publicity , influence , aud importance , whether tending for good or eviL
We assert that the character of a private man is the most momentous article that he possesses on earth ; thst it is a pearl of great price , and that there is nothing that he should endeavonr so much to preserve and protect frcm injury . How lauch more then ought a pubiic man ' s character to be defended and preserved—especially his who has been , and ia now , looked np to as a faithful , disinterested , and honest leader and adviser of the people ! How superlatively necessary it is to watch and defend a man es useful , so persevering and so very indefatigable , as O'Connor has been to the cause 6 f democracy by his talents , with tongue and pen , and by his property l
He has great influence amongst the working classes , and possesses more of their confidence than any other public man , and therefore can do either a great amount of good or evU . Hence the transcendent importance of our , at thia time , making you , our brother Chartists , acquainted with our opinions respecting Ms conduct during his late visit to , and stay at , Manchester . We hare no other object to serve but that cf truth and justice , and the good of the people ' s cinse , holuirg ourselves free to give honour to whom it \ z due , and on the other band to censure where it may be justifiable .
We wish not to lrgure tbs feelings of any man , or body of men , excepting a proper discharge of cur duty does so , and whatever might be the consequence we ihall not flinch from do-ng that . We would not have deserved the name of men , much less democrats , had we allowed such charges to go unnoticed , because we knew they were unfounded and uncalled f « r , and because we were the means of bringing Mr . O'Connor ta ilinshester , ( bat , bye-the-by , at his own expense , ; to gratify our desire aod perform a public duty . We are awar ? also what an unpleasant and disadvantageous position the man ia plseed in who has no one to defond him , but himself , in comparison with that of a man defended by others who were eye-witnesses to ail his proceedings .
We think we need cot say more in defence of our taking up this important subject , and we promise all to whom this appeal ia made , that if O'Ceanor can be proved either a coward or traitor we will be the first to expose him . Bnt we demand , and must bare better evidence , than tlutof "An Old Chartist , " which properly jpe&kutg is no evidence at all , or any other nisa who U toojreat a coward to sign his name to the evidence he adduces . Such evidence as he has produced so fir would not stand good in any court c-f justice in the kingdom , bad as the admink'Lration of justice Ls . How then can it for a moment be expected that we can discard one of the most uscoBquerable champions of oui cause , as hitherto considered-upon such loose , p ? ltry , and unsatisfactory evidence as that of "An Old Chartist . "
Our ungenerous brother Chartist says , " We were told that Feargus O'Connor instead of being at the tea party at the Carpenter ' s Hall was engaged with the Executive on business . ' Who are " we "' ? what " we " does hi mean ? We hope he will explain what body of men this " we" is , tha next time he wrlUs to the public . Because th « Manchester Chartists were aware of the reason that 0 'Connoi was not at the Carpenters H&ll , and we assure oar distant friends , pledging our hanonr on its veracity , that the committee begged , acd his host , tke R « v . James Scholefield , insisted that O'Connor would not go to the Hall under the circa mstarces ; and alEo , that if we had not have done so he most assuredly would have been there . And as it r » - tpezta his being with the Executive , there was a good
reason for that He was there to advise , but not to dictate , nor yet to hold himself responsible for any act of the Executive , providing Euch act was contrary to , acd in direct opposition to his advice and wishes . Tfce Executive are men of principle , of spirit and integrity , and need not a defeace so paltry and weak as tbat of " An Old Chartist . " There is another important reason why he was not at the tea party . Many of the delefates were tbere at the commencement , and wonld hare remained there , h » d not information been brought to the Hall thit the authorities bad dispersed a legally convened meeting of the Trades " Delegates £ t the point of tea bayonet . The Dtlegates
for the National Conference , on hearing this , came at once to the very just conclusion that there was no guarantee , that if they eat long in Manchester , they would not meet with the same treatment Hence it was tkat they on that evening , ( Yery wisely , teo , we thick , ) assembled to get through part of their business , so that they could complete in good time on the next day , without being interfered with , by the authorities and the military ; and to give them every one an opportunity of getting bad : to bis constituents as early u possible . Our brother Chartists will see , from the above facts , that the charge against O'Connor for not being at the tea party is entirely kicked out of court .
" An Old C ! iiit-st" labour * , or rather appears to do , Eider an error respecting the Executive and tiie Conference . He endeavours to make it appear that they were all one body . Whereas they were two separate bodies , and e 3 cn accountable to the people for their separate actions . But the Conference were not bound to the Executive for that which they might think proper to do cf their own accord . " That the Executive put out an address , and makes a very uncharitable remark about it . That part , however , "we wili leave to the Executive themselves , who are well qualified to answer him upon that subject
Yet we cannot omit saying that , in our opinion , he confounds himself , and that he wrote more for the purpose of spleen ,. and sowing the seeds ef discord , than that of serving any good end . His words ara" I wis told "—what '' I , " —it was " ire" before , bnt now it is " I , "— " on all sides , Feargus O'Connor had run awiy to London" —who told him ?— " for fear of being arrested , leaving Leach to da the dangerous part of publishing these placards , "—who told him that Leach had anything to do with the publishing of the placards?— '' which in my opinion , " continues he , " was a wanton E&criice of Leach by O'Connor . " Now we are told by " An Old Chartist , " in oue sentence ,
that the address was already pnblished , * sd he gtves , ia confirmation cf the same , a portion of what the iddres 3 contains , and in the next sentence , forsooth , that O ' Connor left Leach " to do the dangerous part of publishing toe address . " Snrely either the one or tfee other is wrong ; two oppasites cunnot be allowed to confirm the same case . The fact was , that the address was published by somebody , before the conference assembled , wbicn . was on th 9 Wednesday , and dissolved on that evening ; and in about two or three hours after . Leach wa 3 arrested , and O ' Connor was in Manchester on lie Thursday ; so that the charge of running away ib not sustained , and therefore falls to tiie ground .
He farther says , " that all the leaders ran away and left the complete machinery and arrangements like a self-actor to do the work" What nonsense , if he had read the resolution passed at th 3 conference . ' Bat we believe he both read and knew what it contained . However the resolution passed at the conference pledged ertry delegate to go forthwith , and lay the result of their deliberations before bis constituents . And for doing whieh they are charged with being cowardi ! " The people ; " Eays he , " are thoroughly disgusted ¦ with , the conduct of O'Connor . " What people ?
Where ? and what conduct ? Let him tell yon , fellowworking men , who he means by the people , as "we , who are amongst the Chartists of Manchester regularly hare seen no finch asserted disgust manifested . Let him answer to the Executive who it * " that were disgusted witn tbem . He ateo finds ? rat fault with tba editor of the Northern Siar for not ins-irtjng the address . The editor knew that one printer hod been arrested and bia press taken for printing the address . What right had the editor o / the Siar to Kbjsct the property of Mr . Eobson to the same treatment ?
Snppose the press of either the Star or the Statesman tad been seized , -would that have done the canse any twd ? And if other papers could be allowed t » insert ^ address without being prosecuted , that was ne * *» ra why the proprietor of the Siar would not have ** a prosecuted . The non-Insertion of the address , in o » opinion , waa quite right on the part of the editor . « * u better for the readers cf the Siar to be without we BddresB than -witheut the Siar altogether . That * pge , like the preceding ones , ia sot supported . The fditoi would have been mad to hire inserted it , knowtt & M he did , th&t the Government would sooner destroy the Star than any other paper . Just for a mofeet consider the circulation of the Siar in comparison * ith that of the Statesman , and -with ererf probability ™* fc tiie latter will shortly go out , and then ask your-• wvea wbich of the two the Government would not wna pounce upon if it had the chance .
I « t -us here ask « An Old Chartist" why be did not ^ fruit with the editor of the Statesman for not in-** && % the eonfereee resolution and addreu , the same « tke editor of the S ' ar did ? If it w&s wrong on the J * Jt of one not to insert an address , why EOonld U 3 nen go fr « 6 f blame ?

The next assertion which comes under our notice in the letter of "An Old Chartist" is , that "I have just been told that the Xorfhern Siar was kicked about the Chartist room in Manchester . " What Chartist room ? Who kicked it about ? When was it kicked about ? and who are the parties that told him that such an event did take place ? Perhaps he wrote as he conld wish . But still we are sorry that any man , who calls himself a Chartist , should make such barefaced false assertions in the teeth of the Manchester Chsrtista . Not a very good compliment to the men of Manchester . That , like his other statements , will only live for a few dayB and afterwards sink into oblivion , as it justly deserves ; and the odium will fall upon the bead , as it ought to do , of the wicked , fabricator . We have ma'fe all cine enqniry about this " kicking , " at all the rocms , bat echo alone gives the reply .
We are borne oat , too , in onr declaration of its falsehood , by the passing of the following resolution , unanimously , at the Carpenters' Hall , last Sunday evening , by at least 2 , 500 of the working people of Manchester : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the letter whxh appears in the Statesman newspaper of yeaterd . iy , Saturday , August 27 th , End signed by 'AuOld Chartist , ' is a gross libel en the character of F . O'Connor and the Chartists of Manchester , and , indeed , of the ¦ srhole Charfut caase . And , farther , that this meeting empower Mr . 3 > . Rosa to write to the editor , to request him t'J give up the name of the author , and to publish it in the next week ' s Statesman ¦ likewise an explanation from the editor , in reference to Mb lavguage respecting O'Connor being a coward and traitor . "
Before leaving " An Old Chartist , " we could like to ask him when MDounll , Campbell , and O'Connor dfsened the cause , as he himself only has made such a grave charge . According to the Statesman and the Star of last week , both M'Doaall and Campbell are at their pr-st yet ; and the Sorihern Star , the Evening Star , the Times , Sun , and Morning Chronicle , shew that Fruri-ua O'Connor is at his duty . Therefore , thiB peg , like all the rest , has slipped from , under him . Come * fs now to the language of the editor of the Statesman to which we referred at the commencement of cur adoress . And taking it for granted that you are cot all readers of the Statesman , we will give you a little of the choice , sound , and logical reasoning of the " sshsulmaster of the age . " And surely if this is to be taken as a specimen of his transcendent talents , hia
wit , and profound wisdum and argum ? ntative powers , aua his notions of fair-play , some of the political critics must have ov .-Tshot the mark iu their laudations of the superior abilities of the Editor of the British S ' .: iitsmam , Here then yon have it ail ; n its beauties : — Watis and all the logicians of the post and present day will fall into the shades "when compared with the bright luminary of the British Statesman . We invite yi .-u" to rea-3 it and read it wtll . Now for it— "We agiee with 'An Oid Chartist , " whose letter we insert , tLa : ifee Extcuti 7 d ought to have signed their names to the address , if they were tho authors of it . We agree with him also that O'Connor has acted a treacherous an ! cjwardly part in this matter , as he st . Iw . iys dots ia times of danger . But we see no harm in M-Douall , Campbell , or any body else ke .-ping out of the way of the puiiet ! as Ion ? as they can . "
In our remarks upon this excellent bit of chop logic , murder \ og \ c , or rather do logic at all , we wish it to ba distinctly understood , thit we neither wish to injare thy E-utor nor the Statesman . But in all fairness , as they are both public property , we claim the right of fiir criticism . There are subscribers to the Statesman on * he committee , who have been so ever since O'Brien became tbs Editor of it . who feel very sorry indeed to see both the letter and the Eiitor ' s comment upon it . We . in this case , will loav * the Executive to answer for themselves , and as we were the m-. ans of keeping O'Connor out of the way , for ftar a dirturbai . ee might ba created by our enemies , to iffjrd a prett-xt for them to arrest him , we feel bound to answer to tie public for our conduct .
Brother Chartists , we were perfectJy aware of the plan 3 of onr enemies , and of their inordinate thirst fur victims and blood . We wished to avoid a second Pcterloo , and therefore we concluded , though at great loss to us ; as a Committee , to frustrate their wicksd desig : s ty putting off the procession ; also the nieetie ^; and by requesting O'Connor not to go the HalL We likewise thought it best for him and all the other leaders to get out of the town as quick as poBsible . Therefore , if there is any bbme to be attributed to such conduct , it oaj ; ht in justice to fall upon us and not oa O ' Connor . Why ? Because he was willing to attend to all , and it was with very hard pressing that the Committee could peimade him not to go . And , to sptak the truth , we believe the tears of Mr . Scholefield ' s three daughters alone
prevailed upon him not to go . Bnt stop ! W * are justified in the words of our esteemed friend , the Editor of the StxUsman himself . If it was ri ^ ht , and he says it was , for Campbell and M'Douall to keep out out of the way of the police as long as they could , we should like to know what O'Connor has done that we Ehould net keep him oat of the way as long as we could ? We sht uld infer , if we at all understood the Engli&h language , fu . m the Eiitor's remarks , that M'Douall and Campbell R-. ust be pre 3 erved . Bat that it did not matter how soon . O'Conn&r was placed in the stone jug . ' What is sauce for the gooee is sauc « for the gander . What was rifht in the one case was righs in - the other . We contend that M'Douall end Campbell were right , and that we Were rkht , aud that the Editor cf the Statesman was just tciong . partial , and unfair . Let us ask whether
O'Connor Tun away from the Hall of Science at Manchester , when stones , sticks , and pokers were whizzing past his ears , and his life was in danger , he having no weapons at all ; and whether he did not stand protecting the Chairman till dragged eff the rostrnm ? The men of Manchester can best answer that question . Did be run away frcm the Bluea at NottiDgbnm at the late election ? The men of Nottingham answered in the neeative . Did he run away from Manchester the we . k before last ? No . He was the last delegate that left Manchester . We are surprised to fir . d the Editor of the States 7 nan flatly contradicting himself in his own leaders . About three weeks since , iii one of his leaders , referring to the melee at Nottingham , he said , " It will "be esen that O'Connor acted a gallant part" But test week the same writer says , that " be always runs awsy in times of danger . " Such contradictory state-Bier . ts as tho above need no comment .
We have now replied to the whole of the charges , and btg to submit them to a higher tribunal , namely , the ' greit body of the working classes , and are willing to abide by their decisions . We trust we shall not be charged wiih feelings cf vindictiveness , or bad language , or malice , or perversion , or over-colouring . We hare adhered strictly to the truth . We have given fact « to which oar brother Chartists of Manchester can bear testimony . We trust we hare wiped off the stain of cowardice and treachery , and we hope that we shall be the means of causing both An " Old Chartist" and the Editor t » be more careful and have better grounds to work np . - su for th-3 future btfoie they injure a brother's character by making such serious charge * . We hope th 3 t the working men will always hear both sides of the ca" 3 before they ever prcnouncrf their verdict ,
and on all occasions be on their guard against misrepresentations which only crente bad feeling , envy and malice , destroys confidence , causes bickeiings , jealousy and contention one agaiust another , and every way iniares the cause of the onward march of demoeracy . Let us be united as one m 3 n , act as men ought to do professing to admire cur principles . Let love and goodwill prevail in our ranks , banish , and for over , every thing calculated to breed strife or cause division , and ell with heart and hand , tongue and pen bound togitLer in one common brotherhood , and work togeuicr la harmony and g < H > d undeistanding , giving honour to whom it is due , a . d admonishing in a spirit of charity vrL « never vre see il necessary , and if we are sober , firm , and united , and persevere rationally and determinedlr , no pawer on earth will much longer be able to -withhold cur claims . The God of nature , of truth and cf justice will be with us .

TRIAL OF BEAN . At the Central Criminal Court on Thursday , John William Bean was tried for a misdemeanour in sssiultiog the Queen , with a pistol ; the charge being variously expressed in four different counts . Although seventeen years cf age , he was so short and deformed that his bead scarcely reached above the bar . The Counsel for the Crown were , the Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General , Mr . Adolphos , Mr . Waddington , and Mr . R . Gnrney ; for the prisoner , Mr . Horry . The Attorey-Genebai . very briefly sketched the facts of the case , and explained the law , by which any menacing action , within a short distance of the person threatened , constitute * an assault . Witnesses were then called .. As their evidence differed in no important particular from the accounts that were given at tie . time , a recapitulation of the chief polnta will
suffice . Mi . Charles Edward Dassett deposed how on Sunday , the 3 rd of July , h » saw three Koyal carriage going toward ! the Chapel BoyaL Just as the last carriage passed the watering-house , he saw the prisoner come from the crowd , draw a pistol from hia breast , and present it towards the carriage , at arm's length and breast high ; and then he heard the sound ef the click of a piatol-hammer upon the pan ; but there was no explosion . He leized the prisoner , and , assisted by his brother , took him across the Mall , and offered ' him to police-constable Hearn ; but Hearn said that "it did act amoKQt to a charge . ' * Police-constable Flaxmaa likewise refused to take the prisoner . The prisoner only aaked the witness to give him back the pUtoL At length the pressure of the crowd was so great , that he was obliged to let Bean

go ; and afterwards the people said that witness himself had been shooting at the Qieen , and a Policeman took the pistol away from hinu Iu his CTO 3 s-exaniination Mr . Dassett said that the Royal carriages were not going very fast . Some persons in the crowd laughed , and others called out that the pistol was not loaded . Mr . Frederick Augustus Dassett , the younger brother of the previous witness , corroborated his evidence . The hammer of the pistol , he said , had gone down , and the pan was in a state as if it bad been fired off . John Junes , a builder , the uncle of the two D ^ ssetts , an <* William Jones , a wood-turner , saw Charles Dasaett seize Baan . James Torrlngton Parbride , a constable of the A division , said he took the pistol team Charles Dassett , and gave it to Inspector Martin . Geo . Martin , Inspector of the A division , received the pistol from the last witness , and unloaded it . The charge was not large : the contents consisted of coarse gunpowder , some
short pieces of tobaeso-pipe , and four small pieces of gravel , rammed down with wadding ; there were a few grains of powder in the pan . William John Byrne , a general salesman , described his selling the pistol to Bean—he thought that It was on the Thursday or Friday before ^ the 3 d of July ; and Bean ' s afterwords coming for a flint to it The pistol was very old , but capable of being fired if properly loaded . George John Whitmore , who cleaned the pistol for Beau before ft bad the flint put to it , said , in his cross-examination , that he tried tfee pistol : the lock was not strong enough to fire it . BeDjamin James was in attendance with the third of the Royal carriages on the 3 d of July : tne Queen was in the carriage , with the Prince and a lady . The Jast witness for the prosecution was Henry Webb , Policeman of the A division , who ayprehended Bean at his father ' s house in Sorners Town : he said that he bad been on Sunday in Barnsbury Park , Islington , and the Regent ' s Park .
Mr . HoiiBY took some legal objections to the form of the indictment . If the tobacco-pipe in the pistol was capable of injuring the Queen , Baau ought to have been indicted for high treason . Oa the other hand , the Queen was not aware of the attack , and could not be alarmed : and therefore the charge ef common assault could not be sustained . Lord Abioger , Mr . Justice Williams , and Mr . Baron Rolfe , successively delivered opinions against tbe objections ; and Mr . Horry proceeded to contend that the evideoce did not bear out the charge that the prisoner contemplated any assault , he being one of the mildest of the Queen ' s subjects . He then cal / ed tvideiice .
Henry Hatvkes said that he was about six feet from Bean aud Djssett when Bean was sez ; d , and he did not sea him present a pistol at the Qu ^ -. en ; although be thought he mtu > t have seen it if it had been done . Baan could easily have ^ ot away . After Dissfett aefzsd tbe pist-jl , lie was playing with it , trying the lock , and lauihing . The witness had his back to them ; but he lookid round very often to Bee what was passiug . Thoa . Vusport , a painter out of work living at the Running Horses in Brook-street , Grjsvanor-square , swore that tho prisoner did not present a pistol at the carriage . C .-oss-examinod by tue Soncitor-Generaland Lord Abi . ngec he said that he saw the prisoner with the pistol in hia baud some time beforo ho was apprehended . It did strike him as remarkable that the boy should have a pistil in his hand on Sunday morning . Lord Aui . tGEit—" Why then did nofc you interfere and rave information ?"
Witness— " I waited to see the result of it " No questioning could get any other reason from this witnc < ss for his passiveness ; when asked repeatedly what re ? nlthe ixpectid , he only replied that of course he did not know that an attack wa 3 going to be made . David Hatton , a n < swsvender , and beveral other witnesses , gave Baan a character for mildness ; among them was the prisoner's father , who wept bitterly . Tho Attorney-Gekeral re-explained the law , ao as to dissipate the effect of Mr . Horry ' s objections aod arguments : and then he touched upon the evidence , remarking that Vjsporfc criminated himself ; for if his story were true , he admitted to having been guilty of what amounted to misprision of treason , iu seeing a man standing there with a pistol , and wishing " to s « e the result . "
Lord Abinges having summed up , the Jury returned a verdict of Gutlty upon the second count in the indictment ; convicting the prisoner of presenting a pistol loaded with powder and wadding , in eontempt of the Queen , and to tee terror of divers liege subjects . In pa ; sing sentence , Lord Abinger observed , that he wished the law in existence at the time the prisoner committed the offence had authorised an adequate punishment : but if any person should imitate the prisoner ' s example , he would now obtain an infamous notoriety by be ' wg whipped at thu cart ' s-taii The aentsnee of the Court was , that he be imprisoned in the Penitentiary fer eighteen calendar months .

SUNDSRLAKD . —Roval Visit— ( Shut oui last tccck by other matter . )—Wednesday was the day fixed for the visit of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge , and his son , Prince George of Cambridge , to the town , where he had been Invited to dinner by the Corporation . He has been lately the gnest of the Marquis of Londonderry , at Wynyard Hall , near Stockton , and it was announced thit the Marquis and a great number of the nobility would accompany the R * jzl Duke . Under these circatnitances , no doubt , the preparations for hia reception would have been on a magnificent sc-ile , notwithstanding the poverty of the town , had there not been a party war feeling between tbe Mcrquis and tb . 9 Whig magistracy of the Borough . Tbe Whijs , as a body , of course , felt bound to resent
tbe lciult to their magistrates ; consequently , there was grpat difficulty felt to secure a decent display of feeling in favour of the Marquis and his royal and noble guests . It was origina " y intended that they should enter the town at five o ' clock , but they di'l not make their appearance till half-past eight o ' clock . Tne dune of this extraordinary delay wap , it is understood , fear 3 of a very hot reception from the people . The military am ! police were all out to guard the royal and noble party , and to intimidate the people , but notwitlistanuiig ttieee precautions , when they did make their appeaiance , they wera saluted with a tremendous b-idy of groans , and not a solitary cheer could be heard . The chagrin of the noble Marquis Londonderry was extrtuie at this outburst of democratic feeling .
Meeting on the Town Moor—On Wednesday morning a few placards were issued , calling a public meeting for three o ' clock in the afiernoon , on the Town Moor , and fit eight in the evening , in the Arca «? e Room-The meeting on tbe Moor , though called on short notice , was excellent . Mr , Williams was the only speaher . He addressed the people at considerable length , sketching the characters and claims cf the noble and Royal visitant , who intended honouring tbe town by their presence . He then called upon the people to join in singing the following song , which was composed for the occasion : — SUNDERLAND'S ANSWER TO DERRY'S CALL . Olii Derry wants to buy onr votes , With dinners and with wine ; But Tory power is past and gone , Like auld lang syne .
The Lords of Seaham need not come , With Judas' speech sie fine ; They ' ve robbed us by their tyrant laws , Sin auld lang syne . The Chartist day is drawing near , When liberty shall shine ; And England then shall happy bo , Like days o * lang Byne . The people sang it right heartily . After this the meeting separated in capital spirits , having received instructions how to act on the entrance o £ the illustrious party . Arcade Meeting—In the evening there was an overflowing meeting in the Arcade ; Mr . Bruce , grocer , in the chair . The speeches were of the most enthusiastic und spirited charactsr . Messrs . Williams , Chappie , and the chairman spoke .
STOCKTON . — Kotaltt at a Discount . — f Received for our last , bid shut oui by other matter . JMonday was to hiive been a glorious day . Toryism was to have triumphed . It was fully expected , by the magistracy and corporation , that the workiug people woul-i have huzzaed—would have ranted , roared , and cheered Rzya ' ly as they were wont to go some ten or Sfteen years ago ; but thanks , eternal thsr-ks , to the working people of Stockton ; they showed the body corporate that Royalty has lost its charm— they are not to be gulled and deluded now—tbe time for that is gone —gone for ever—tht-y will do honour to whom honour is due—they h < ive come to the conclusion that it is ru " . iug the thing rather too fat to cheer either for tbe Dake of Cambridge , or any other person , who is
receiving £ 21 , 0 Q 0 a-year for dying nothing : wmie they are starving . Had it not been for a dealer in coloured matches , who has been In the neighbourhood a few days , the procession ( if we may call it a procession ) would Lave been quite a dead and alive affair—perfectly insipid . The match dealer , no doubt , thinking this ft good and suitable opportunity to exhibit his wares , headed the apology for a procession with his coloured matches stuck in a very peculiar manner on a pole , to the delight of the spectators . His Highness , the Duke , asked his mightiness of Londonderry , what it was—what It was intended to represent ? What think you , reader ! the descendant of Castleresgh was unable to give an answer . Mr . John Wilkinson , wharfinger , ( who , low be it Bpoken , the less said the better ) commanded hfs porters to be ia readiness to drag the lump of Royal mortality into the town , to make horses of themselves ; but tbe Duke said he would rather walk ,
for he remembered that in the time of George III ., that illustrious monarch , (?) seyeral accident * happened In the dragging in to towns , of Royal personages by men . Now , Mr . Editor , had Wilkinson ' s men refused to obey their lord's mandate , we ask , would they 01 would they not have lost their employment ? A platform was erected , which extended from the Town-hall to the Cross ; it was carpeted , we presume , for fear the Royal Duke should contaminate the pavement . Well , gentle reader , fancy to yourself the Duke and Corporation are now on the platform , the Mayar reads an address to tha Duke and then tries to get up a cheer , but finds it no go . The Duke then pulls a package of papers from tbe pocket of his royal coat , and fumbles oa ( as Billy weak old men g-eneraUy do ) for a considerable tfme ; at last he extracts a paper , which turns out to be his Rcyal reply to the address just read by the Mayor , " ready cut and dry , " -which he reads ; tben some dozen © r so on tbe platform try to raise a cheer but find it won't

do . Tho Mayor next Introduces Mr . Lw . Raiaebeck to his Highness , who reads an' address to the Duke , purporting to be from the olergy and agricultural gents , of the neighbourhood . Another try for a cbeer , bnt it was ineffectual Hta Highnws was at a loas , for this was more than he expected , however he managed to mutter a few very weak and nonsensical words , by way of reply , extemporaneously . Another effort for a cheer , but it was destined to meet a worse fate than any of its predecessors ; a nori ot howling was its ' echo ? White the Dake , the Marqats , Lord Seaham , Mr . Farrer , and the Corporation are doing theguzzlingpart of the piece . we will just observe that the Marquis , to make a show ,
brought his tenants all on horseback , with blood-red rosettes in their coats , to see the fan . They cat a sorry figure . Many of them would have much rather been in tbs harvest Beld . Now , then , the Duke is off to Wynyard , driven by the Marchioness , -. . the Marquia , Seaham , and others , following amid the yells , hootings , hisoings , and execrations of a discerning and enlightened people . The Tories say the reason why there was no cheering , was because their arrangements were disarranged . No doubt of it , the people are progressing fast—are be * coming intellectual beings , so that In future , all such arrangements will be disarranged , aud they will be tree . —Correspondent .

Young was unanimously called upon to preside . The meeting was called by placards , nearly the whole of which were destroyed aa noon as posted . The secretary waa directed to apply for summonses against those who had destroyed them . Air . Beoaley , of Lancashire , was then introduced to the meeting , and was received by loud cheering . He addressed the meeting for about an hour and a half in a very eloquent style , giving things their right names , and tracing the whole of the evils that oppressed the working claasea of this country to class legislation . The meeting then ac'journed to aeven o ' clock on Thursday evening , at Blue Qaurries , Gateshead . Fell .
Thursday Evening . —The meeting was held at Blue Quarries , according to adjournment , and considering the population of the district , there were more present than we expected . At the time appointed , Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle , was Introduced to the meeting , who addressed them at great length , showing the great deprivations to which the industrious population of this locality was subjected by the system under which we exist , and that nothing short of the whole Charter could ameliorate their condition ; and the men of Carlisle were determined not to feed their oppressors any more until the Charter became the law of the
land . Mr . Arthur was loudly cheered throughout . Mr . Beealey next . addreseud the meeting , and concluded , by Impressing upon all present the necessity of union in action and in mind , which would secure to us that position in society which would make our oppressors tremble . Mr , Sinclair next came forward and read the address of the miners of Clackm :: nnanahire , hi Scotland , which was adopted . At the conclusion of the meeting it was announced that a public meeting would be held in the J ? irth on Saturday morning , at half-pxst ten o ' clock , but a placard signed by the police offico clerk , appeared , prohibiting the meeting , which was not therefore held .
Messrs Beesley and Sinclair , when on their way from North Shields to Morpeth , were met by some pitmen who knew Sinclair , and would not allow them to proceed further until they would address a meeting , and in less than an hour upwards of two hundred honest sons of toil were assembled at Avenue-head , for that purpose . Mr . Beesley addressed them at great length , JinJ was well received ; they extracted aproraise from Mr . B . to visit them again prior to leaving the district , giving due notice thereof , and they would ensure a very large ineetiug . They are prepared to procure the Charter at any risk here . The Chartists of Newcastle met on Monday evening as usual . Mr . Biuns in tho chair . All the business done was of a local nature , with the exception of a vote of thanks to Mr . Cockburn , ( for his valuable services to the c itise of liberty In this quarter ) who is going to Scotland in a day or two—which vrxs carried unanimously .
BUDDEBSFJEIiD . —It has been agreed that a requisition should be sent to the constable , requesting him to call a public meeting , at which meeting two persons of the Cliarti&t body , should be elected to represent tho town of Huddersfleld iu tho forthcoming Conference to be held in Birmingham , oa the 7 th day of September nei . t . COLCHESTER . —Tbe Chartists bore have voted thanks to the electors . of Nottingham and Ipswich , for their support of Sturge and Vincent LONDON . —Daring the weok many attempts have been made to hold large open-air , public meetings , but they have genaraliy provtd failures , so far aa public speaking has be « . n concerned , owing to the vigilance of the police , who complain very bitterly of the fatigue to which they are eul-j ^ oted , and the annoyance of having
printed bills anonymously sent to them , announcing pubiic meetings at Blackheath , Stepney Fiolda , &c . and upon their arrival at the spot , finding they have beau hoaxed , and that a meeting is actually being held at a far distant statiou . A committee of gentlemen , residing in tiie neighbourhood of Kenntiigio : i , has been formed to investigate into the cases of thosa who have beeu seriously injured at the late meeting there , and to endeavour to procure them retlress . A requisition is also being numerously signed by the electors of the borough of Lambeth and Ncwington , calling a meeting on Kenninyton Cjmmon , to express their feeli . ga upon this subject , so that the p «! lce have now got their hands full of business . The Sun and other papers arc loud in their denunciation of their brutal conduct . Many gentlemen in Kennington declare that they will never again pay a police rate .
Metropolitan Delegate Meeting . —After tbe transaction of tbe usual business the iruin of 3 a . was received from ths Hit or Miss , Globa Fields , on account of the Daptford arrests ; reports were received from the committee for getting up public meetings . A subscription was requested to be got up by the localities to defend those persons whose cases were not disposed of , and to support their families ; considerable discussion arose in consequence of an address ordered to be issued , and after some other business the meeting separated . MarylebONE . —At a public meeting held at the Working men's Hall , 5 , Circua-Btreet , New Road , on Wednesday evening , August 24 , the following resolution wa 3 unanimously carried . •—Resolved , That this
meeting view with indignation , contempt , and regret , the brutal instructions given to the police for the purpose of dispersing the people in public meeeing assembled , whilo in the act of legally discussing their grievances and of uselessly petitioning her m . ijeaty . That we also consider snch interference always calculated to cause a breach of the peace , thereby endangering the lives and liberties of the people . And that we the householders and others met this evening do call upon her Majesty to dismiss from her councUa such men as those capable of giving such instructions ; and to call thereto men capable of supporting the dignity of the throne , by immediately causing the People ' s Charter to become the low of the land . "

Wilson iu the chair . Mr . J . Campbell , of the Executive , attended , and exhorted the weavers to unite for tho attainment of political power . The following resolution was proposed by Mr . Willmore , seconded by Mr . J . Fenuelt— " Tbat this meeting deeply sympathise with our oppressed brotbren in tbe North , and we do attribute their oppression aud

Wai / woiith—Tbe Chartists of this localHy held . " a meeting on Monday evening , at Mr . Batt 6 u ' s ,, Ci -ownund Aucbor , Elephant and Castle , when the loom was crowded with strangers , ( very faw of the members obtaining admittance ) , to hear the principles of the Charter explained , thinking that the Charter must be something of truth , or the authorities would not have used such violent means to suppress the expression of public opinion at Kennington ; the consequence was , a number were convinced of the truth , and entered as members .
A public meeting was held on Thrirsday evening , at the Hall of the National Association , Holboin , to consider the alarming state of the country . Notwith " . standing tbe charge of one penny for admission , the attendance was very numerous . Mr . Hetherington , having been called to the chair , addressed the meeting at some length , and concluded by calling upon them to unite and destroy the monopoly of olass-legis-Iatton .. Mr . Moreton moved the following resolution , — "That the distress and disorder prevailing in tbe manufacturing districts are sufficient evidence of the folly and injustice of class-legialation , and that those who arrogate the Government of the country to themselves distinctly prove that they do not carry out those
principles upon which Governments were founded , namely , tbe comfort , happiness , and welfare of the governed . " Mr . Mjore seconded the resolution , and it was carried unanimously . Mr . Linton moved the 2 nd resolution , "That , although the meeting could not refrain from expressing their regret at what had taken place , they thought the starving population were justified hi some measure , but at tho same time they called upon the people to conciliate instead of provoke the troops , and refrain from all violence . " Mr . Watson , in an excellent address , seconded the resolution , which was unanimously camrted . Mr . Savage moved the third resolution , " That this meeting cannot see and other mode of alleviating the disturbed state of

Great Britain , than by giving to every man equal rights aa Bet forth in the document called the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Lovfctt seconded tho resolution . Several other speakers also addressed the meeting , after which the resolution was carried unanimously . Three cheers were given for the Charter , &c , and the meeting dispersed . Public Meeting . —An open air meeting was held on Monday , at the open space near the Pin Factory , Borough Road . It having been ascertained that Sir James Graham had "kindly condescended" to allow out-door meetings , provided they closed previous to six o ' clock , a . m , the ineetiDg was called for twelve o ' clock , aud shortly after thut period Mr . Franklin was elected to the chair , and made a few brief remarks o :
the conduct of the authorities , in allowing meetings to be held only at that period of the day when working men could not attend . Mr . Blackmore , in a straightforward address , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting views with regret the position taken up by the Government to stop public opinion among the working classes . " Mr . Rogers seconded the resolution , and showed the utter futility of any Government attempting , by physical force , to arrest the onward niaichof knowledge and intelligence . Theresolution was carried unanlmsusly . Mr . Parker moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting , notwithstanding the attempt of the authorities ts crush public opinion , is resolved sti ! l te adhere to its determination of agitating for ( he People ' s Charter , until it becomes ihe law , believiDg it to be the only means ef
securing peace and prosperity to the people at large " Mr . Parker commented with considerable energy upon the conduct of the Government in putting a stop to public meetings , and on the manner in which the police had carried those orders Into execution . The only remedy for such a state of affairs was to obtain possession of political pawer . If they had thirty good men in the House of Commons , the police would never have dared to have exhibited such furious pranks . Mr . Bolwell , of Bath , seconded the resolution ina very able address . Mr . Brown supported it in a very elcquent address , which occupied upwards of an hour in its delivery ; during which he gave such a lashing to the numerous spies by which he was surrounded , as must have made them feel their degraded position ; tho late disturbances in London had done much for the Charter
what calm reasoning could not c-rTdct bludgeons bad effected ; if hunger in the belly and a policeman ' s bludgeon npan the skull did not make men think , aye , and act too , fee did not know what would . Mr . Brown was loudly cheered throughout the whole of bis aldress . The resolution was civrried unanimously . Mr . Dowling moved a . resolution eocpressfve of tbanta to the proprietor and editor of the Evening Star for sending reporters to give publicity to the meetings , and during his address eulogised the conduct of Feargus O Connor , and trusted that the Evening and Northern Stars would long continue to dissipate the clouds of darkness and ignorance . Mr . T . Wall , in a long address , seconded the resolution , which was unanimously carried . Mr . Lucas moved a vot « of thanks to the chairman , and the meeting dispersed . During the course of the proceedings several cf the police rendered themselves very conspicuous by pretending to tak « notes of the proceedings ,
A rumour having got abroad tbat the CbaitMs intended holding a public meeting at Sloane-squire , on Thursday evening last , great was the activity exhibited at Kuightabridge-barracks , and amongst tb » various divisons of thr police force , and not content with these warlike preparations , the poor old Caeisea pensioners were drawn out in martial array , and ordered to " shoulder their ctutch , and show how fields wete won . " Great was the excitement among the shopkeeptrs , and all were anxiously waiting the result of these great preparations . About seven o ' clock about 200 boys assembled on the Green , and were looked on with a very jealous eye by the conservators tf the public peace ; but nothing further
occurring , the inhabitants began to resume their usual tranquil appearance , and to hint loudly to tho police that they bad been subjected to an unmerciful lioax . Towards nine o ' clock many spectators were drawn to the . spot , and many were the jok 69 uttered at the expencp of the police ; but the crowning one was the cramming of a police spy ( of whom many wera in attendance ) with the news that the meeting had been given up in the Square , and was being held in Chelsea Fields . Away fl'es the intelligence ; the force speedily deserted the Square ; the Chartists retired to their homes j and tho police , after a vain endeavour to find the meeting , received intelligence that it wasadjourned until the mor . ; ing at Lambeth .
CHELTENHAM . MR Editor , —We the members of the Gdneral Council of the National Charter Association , residing in Cheltenham , have witnessed with extreme regret a paragraph in tbe British Statesman , of Saturday last , August 5 th , purporting to be from this town , ia which it is stated that , " Mr . Kuffy RidJey had two out-deor meetings on Sunday , aud addressed an assembly at Gloucester , on Monday . No doubt but he is rendering service to the cause ; but from the opinions I heard
expressed he ia not the man for this neighbourhood . Working-man here are , to a considerable extent , qualified as teachers to some of the movement , and not aa pupils . " We , therefore , consider it our bounden duty to inform eur Chartist brethren that , we have nut the leaat knowledge of the egotistical " Mr . I heard , " nor of hia report;—neither in which can we coincide , being very much pleas 9 d with Mr . R ' s eloquent addresses . And further , that we shall be glad of his services at all times , when convenience offers , aa also to recommend him as an able pioneer to the " movement . "
