Gtt ^ Nu jbE ^ HJNSl KAfiUN ^ OF LANCASHIREAKD . XOftKS . UIRE CHARTISTS . gum j ; , y ] ast may l > e considered as the resurrection < Liy of Chartism . Upon tlias daj the Squires wire © Mitred to solicit the forbearance and indulgence of the working people for their birds . Tito heather ¦ was literally alive—not with its usual tenants , but with tlioso who ought to be its cultivators . Max * chesterhad its demonstration—Leeds had its demonstration—nnd Bradford had- its demonstration—all tendin" it we and the same purpose , all having the
same object in view—the advancement <> f the People ' s Charter , and to swear renewed . _ and if possible increased hostility to \ Yliig < and Whiggery . As a matter of coarse , neither the hired watchmen , spvin" from their editorial cocklofts , nor the workers of the telegraph in the metropolis , will jet conuesccr-d to notice these monster-meetings . But those who would rule in ipite ot the popular will , and in defiance of popular opinion , should bear in mind , ifot the wild howl of Chartism hurled Wuigcerv from its throne before , and has resolved now upnn hnntin" it to that tomb from which it is to rise no
We * shall commence with the swarm from the Manchester hive , on Blacfcstone Edge , on the summit o ' a Weak wild mountain—THE BACKBONE OF ENGLAND , and the spot apparently out of reach oi anvthins like a formidable gathering . However , as Chartism has climbed many a hill , it did not turn irons a mountain . It ascended three miles of a steep , on either aide , and on the summit presented the glorious spectacle of THIRTY THOUSAND devoted " disciples ; all of whom roust have travelled three miles , and many of whom had travelled thirty , to renew the covenant with their fellow men . " The spot selected was a beautiful amjihulieatre , from which the world below looked like a vast deserted
J lain . At half-past two o ' clock . Mr . O'Connor , Mr . onus . Dp . MeDouall , and the Managing Committee from Manchester , had reached the summit , and were loudly and enthusiastically cheered . When Mr . O'Connor mounted the platform the air rung again with warn and hearty plaudits . Old Ben Rushton , the Halifax veteran , * and one of whoiu Yorkshire has ever reason to be proud , was unanimously ca"lcd to the chair . There is something very attractive to the eve and to the ear of labour , in this man ' s perfiou and in his voice . He has stood all the trials , the chances , the risk and responsibilities consequent upon fidelity to the Democratic principle ; and his nnswervin / honour , his modest demeanour , and indefatigable perseverance , have secured for Mm the ¦ universal respect of his order .
The Chairman made proclamation for silence , and , after having « OB !> mtulated the meoting upon such agl tiious demonstration , he told them that the squire had made a request that in their passage across the mountain thev would not disturb the rest of his birds . ( Great laughter . ) Those gentlemen , thought but ¦ little of the rest of the toiling millions , as compared -with the rest of tmuehird ? that ministered to their amusement . It would be well for themselves and , for the country , if thej thought more of their duties and lessof their sports . ( Cheers . ) However , as there ¦ were many talented individuals to address them , some of whom they had not heard as often as they could wish , some of whom they had not heard recently , and some of whom they had never heard , he would now open the proceedings by calling upon Mr . Ti-. CHiRs Livesay of Rochdale , to propose the first resolution . Mr . Livesay , upon presenting Mmi self , was loudiv and deservedly cheered , lie said that he stood before his countrymen to test them
once more upon those principles which were daily though silently making th irway in the mind of all classes of this countrv . ( Cheers . ) Yes , he contended for it that all that was required to force a universal submission to the principles of the People ' s Charter , was to impress upon the minds of the other classes , Trlio had no principles by such gatherings as the present that there was a substance behind the shadow of Chartism . ( Loud cheers . ) He was there to tell the Prime Minister that he did not go far enough for the age , and that he for one was not going to tmcter an unqualified allegiance to a minister who could'nt tefi what his own principles were . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Englishmen liked to kuow what they are about , but little Lord John did not know what he was about himself . ( Cheers and laughter . ) He thought that if their opponents saw ihe meeting now before him , that they would strike at once in hopelessness of * mush longer resisting the demand of a Tery shrewd and . a very determined people . ( Cheers . ) He would novr conclude by moving the following
resolution : — That the time is now come when it is imperatirely nece 5 > ary that the people of these realms should beadmined to their just share of the representstion 5 n the Commons Hiin = e of Parliament , and now that a rival agitation lias ceased to exist , having achieved its object , that of opening the markets of the world to the capitalist and speculator , it is now more tliau ever neecssar . v that the ¦ wurldns classes should have the power of ltgislatiug for their labour , so as to havu that labour equally protected -with tbe other classes of the community , therefore we resolve iicain to proclaim to the worid , the principles of the Charter as the onljr just foundation for just Governnaat , ami we are determined never to cease agitation , iintil that document be the Law of the Land . The chairman called upon
Thomas AIautix Wueelee , of the Lseeutive , to second ili-s resolution , who w ; is received with the jnost-uubsunded : if jilause . He asked where was the power nt tins command of fact to ndl that torrent down the hill which had so nobly climbed to its summit asaproofofthedecproottuat CJiiutism had teken in the minds of the working classes . ( Cheers . ) JHc < JM not kaovr t . ' iat he erer witnessed such a glorious spectacle as then presented : t > eif . He felt assured that those who had predicred the fall iif Chartism would kow admit its elevation when it ventured upon its only rest day to lhe summit of the liigliot Mil in the country to scud itsasjiiratiunstothe very heavens
( cheer >) . What wa > it that we were struggling for ? Was it fur other men ' s rights , oilier men ' s property , or other men ' s jirivilcgfs . I-fo , it was for tiie restoration of tluise rights and privileges by which faction was enabled to usurp the labour ui others to its own especia ' advantage . ( Loud cheers . ) lie rejoiced to seeMie ' u ' a jashering : it the presei . i moment for the great moral effect that it must pwduca upon men ol all clasps , and as he sinceiely tunushtthat the lime had arrived for again proclaiming our principles to the warid and for expressing our determination to sec thrra realised , he had much pleasure in seconding the resolution . ( Loud cheers . ) TIjs Oiiarman said that he would now introduce
Ernest Jones , Esq-, liarmtei ' -at-hv . « , to make hiss jnaidiii s-ptcclr to bis new allies . Air . Jones upon p : e > eathii himself was received with continued plaudiis , and nuUre sed the meeting . He congratulated tiie mvcikig os ; tfee iuiposins array of numbers in which ilwy had mustered , ih ' ey hud chosen a holy day , : ii ! ii they could imt have signalised it by a mere Loly «¦ : <•« , —! * i > r they were assusibied in defence of rh-fct , jti-tlco , an-i lUitrty , an-. i well wouid it be , if Olshor-s aiiiS ; t . t 5 t ' . » s were to he found preaching on the Jiill top in llosioiir of the God of peace , instead of cxy ! . uiiiius 4 waaas of lhe God of war , iu stately chnrckc * w iist ' € » s hvarcrs in w = ii cushioned rews .

And why do they oppose us ? Do they really wisli o : ir « ood ? Bo they really think ( lie Charter woiil'i be tiTo death of us all ? What is it that we want § Is it something so unrsasonalle ? It is mercy at the liiuds of monopoly —; justice at the hands of poweran J oiu own at the hands of luxurious rapacity . 0 « what grounds , I ray , do they oppose us ? They say tve are too ignorant to enjoy the franchise ; we , 0111-ecIvcs , do not know what we want ; we are no judges of what would be good for us .

wants when lu- ' a ground to the dust by , tl e accuracd hand of monopoly ? He'll Hhont , . VDeaUi tp n . onoj . oly that consigns mo to the . workhouse and tin gail" but tlu-u ^ hcysny '' Tha ^ s al hus isnomnce p , or man , he knows nothlS OWU lUtorCStS ! -Oh Ue «> likely , as tho sufferer , to know where tlu pain is seated , and so likely , as tiie man csnvcraant with the meclmnisin of labour and the burdens of poverty , to know what remedy should be applied ? ( Loud cheers . ) We are too i » norant ? So ignorant , that with all their wisdom , they can decciye ua nr longer . ( Cheers . ) Their second great objection is , that the Charter would give us a preponderance 01 power . And with whom , I would ask , ought , in common justice , the preponderance of power to be '• With thirty millions , or with one ? And now foi this , greatest argument—Their cry of capital Thc \
say it is monstrous and absurd , that a man , possess " ing but a few shillings per week , should have , a vote the same as a man possessing millions sterling . That a ; common working man should be ablo to balance the vote of a great capitalist , a mill owner , an EaM Indian director , a landed or funded proprietor , whose vote involves so many great interests . — Shall a common man have a vnto of equal power with his—a common man , who knows nothins about the interests he may be about to sacrifice ? Let me tell him , if that common man , as they call him , 'the pnnr starving mechanic , wore proportionally benefitted by the capital which hislabonr creates , —those vast trensurc . * , wrung from the sweat ol his br-tv . he would soon make it his business to know
something about those great interests . —( Hear . ) What ? are pounds sterling , or living souls , to be represented in our house of Parliament ? What ? are ihc interests of a man possessing a million pounds to be cars d for a million times more ? This—this n wh . it tiicir argument involves . This , then , is their philanthropy ! Out upon them ! they have but legislated for their money-ba ^ s ^—we will legislate for oar fellow-men . The interests they tried to promote , was the interest of their vested capital , —the interestswe will further , shall be those ot humanity all over the w = rlel . ( Cheers . ) The means they took to further thdr interests , put bloodshed nnd violence at a premium . Thy can build Greenwich and Chelsea palaces for the men , who plough the sea ,
and handle the bayonet , but what have they built for the men who ploughed the land and handle the loom ?—Oh ! they have built Poor-law Bastiles and Union-workhouses ! To further them , they have entrapped us into violence , and then punished the outbreak they were j : 3 ad to see . Diced with our rery hearts , and scored their winnings by our degradation . They have treated our national petition with contempt , —the universal ( -roan of Euglaud found no echo in an English ' -Parliament . ' ' They have turned out the only minister , who has carried a popular measure , turned him out on the Coercion bill , —their tender hearts must have fired at the thought of coercing a people—yet they could ask Lord Lincoln , Sidney Herbert , and Lord Dalhoi'sie ,
to join their Cabinet , the very men who were prime movers of that very bill ! After all this—they dare to ask us for "another fair trial . " What ?—When Lord John Russell himself confessed to Buncombe , he was going to do again just what he had done before ! Another fair trial ! What do they call our apprenticeship under Grey ? What do they call the ten years trial we gave them under Melbourne ? Another fair trial , ' -when they confess they are goin-: to govern on the same principle as before . No ! We have one answer for them throughout the country : Away ! we will have none of you ! for you arc but unprofitable servants . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Jones then adverted to the means'for . ' the attainment of the Charter , and tbe benefits it would confer , —and
8 aid in conclusion , I must not omit a word to our calumniators , to those , who say that we are mere physical force destructives , —that our path ' jioes ihrough strife and turhulenee . It is false ! and they know it . Our ways are ways of peace and order!—We can carry , and we will carry , our Charter through peaceable , legal , and constitutional , means . But , on the other hand , a word for those who bid us bend in passive obedience to whatever the hand of power might impose . Because we desire peace , we are not to neglect our self-defence . ( Loud cheers . ) The very iawsallewus to punish the thief ,
who breaks into our house—the , thief , who takes our all . My friends , labour is our all , —and who steals our labour from us ?—The very laws allow us to strike the murderer who assails our life . My friends ! Who are murdered by thousands in the workhouse , and the factory , and the mill ? But , notwithstanding , let the world hear it , if they will but be honest and just , our enemies have no violence to fear . —Were we an army of a million on this field to-day , our cry would be " Down with monopoly all the world over ! " but , it is my pride to aay , we would not Infringe the right , or touch a hair on the head of our greatest enemy . ( Continued cheering . )
The Chairman put the resolution which was carried unanimously and with hearty cheering . The Chairmansaid that he . would now introduce their old and faithful champion , that they always loved and always wished to hear . Mr . O'Connor , nppn presenting himself , was prevented from proceeding lor some time by continuous applause . He told them the reason why he and they wcre there , what their duty was , what their prospects were , and why they were mure thau ever calk-d upon to resist the coalition of Whig finality , Irish place hunters , and newspaper vensiliiy . He took that opportunity of declaring war to the death against such an unholy trinity oflogislj > ti < m , and in defi : in <> ii of all the unconstitutional appliances at the command of despotism , and in defiance of the strsinr-d ordinary law , he repeated his determination to
t-verthrow such a combination of incongruous elements . ( Loud Cheers . ) lie had rallied Chartism more than once before upon the hill top , the mountain side , ami in ths valley , and he was prepared to rally it again even if driven into the river . ( Loud Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor continued to address the meetiu <; at considerable length , and then explained the reason why he had much pleasure in seeing D ;\ M'Donall once more amongst tlu-m . ( LtiiO Cheers . ) The difference between Dr . M'Douall and others who liad left the ranks , wasjust thus—tbut whereas all others
sought to qualify themselves lor some section of our opponents by the most rabid abuse of Chartism , Dr . M'Doaall , during the whole time he had secede *! from the movement , had never aimed a blow at our principles , or united with any section of our enemies , ( loud cheers and true , ) and 1 am sure that lit ; as well as myself must be gratified at lhe warm reception he has already received from the Chartists , who have received him back with open jirms . i \ lr . O'Connor then moved the second resolution as follows : and fat down in a tempest of applause . i
That this meeting views « ith delipht tlse progrtrs « the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , as propounded by ]? i-: ir » us O'Co ' uuor , Esq ., : iud curiitfil into operation so efficiently by the directors , ns the only means ol placing the occupants iii independence and happiness , and maintaining the price of labour in the competitive market , and that we , the friends of labour , arc deter , u ' . jneci never to relax until l 5 : e said society is eitetiik'u to its greatest possible limit . The Chairman rext introduced Mr . William Becsicy , '> f Accriniiton . who said that he had much pleasure in smmriin : ; t ! : c resolution , ana if any bndy stskei ! him why he had : ig ; iin c . nue out ol" his temporary retirement , lii > answer was , bueause the baso , brutal , and lik . r «! y Whi . -s wtro once more in j . ower , and liu was registered , their determined , their uucomiiromisiug fue . ( Louu Cheers . ) The Ciiaiksus then introduced

BHADFORD . Chartism had a great day in Bradford on Monday last , and . notwithstanding , some dissensions <»»* have existed for a long time in our ranks in that town , the threatening position of "Whiggery appears to have operated as a union wand . As soon as Mr . O'Connor had announced his intention to attend a tea party at Bradford , suitable arrangements were made for having it upon an extensive scale , and truly they did not fail . When the train , by which Mr . " O'Connor and tiie Executive arrived , had
reached the Bradford terminus , the station was surrounded by one dense mass of working men . There were two bands in readiness , " and a large procession was ready to receive the leader of Chartism . The day was fine and there was joy in every countenance . The bands , for there were more than one , played lively airs , while the multitude' proceeded through the town with a kind of triumphant step , a step in defiance of \ Yhiggcry ; and so large was the concourse , that although no arrangement of the kind was made , Mr . O'Connor addressed them in the space opposite the Temperance Hall , at considerable length . The Tea party was admirably arranged , and every one appeared satisfied with the citing and drinking department . After the tea party was over Mr . ' M'Grath was appointed to act as Chairman , and introduced
Mr . O'Connor , amid the cheers of the meeting . That gentleman spoke at considerable length , and by the time he had concluded , Mr . Clark , who had been addressing the meeting at the Oddfellows' Hall , arrived , and also spoke at great length ; and thus we had , at Bradford ; on one and the same day , a town-full of Chartists , an Oddfellows Hall full of Chartists , and the Temperance Hall full of Chartists ; a pretty good proof that the very indifferent sanatory arrangements of the government had not yet stifled Chartism . We verily believe that this said Chartism has as many lives as a cat . Upon the -whole , the people of Bradford have expressed themselves highly delighted with the day ' s entertainment , and like the rest of Lancashire and Yorkshire have been once more roused to action by the cry of down with the Whigs , who coerced Ireland ; starved England ; murdered , transported , persecuted , prosecuted and insulted every friend to the working classes .
HUDDERSFIELD . REVIVAL OF CHARTISM . On Tuesdrty last the people of Huddersiield had a sreat treat . For many weeks , indeed we might say for months , some of the injured innocents who have been ruined by their connection with Mr . O ' Connor ami the Star , have made Huddersficld their headquarters , and have even invited some of their Mends from Manchester and elsewhere , for the purpose of stronntliGmng their ranks . Perhaps it is not too much to say , that of all the low , of all the mean , of all tiie rascally attempts at mischef . that recently made at nuddersfield , with some support from Leeds , an application for a little from Manchester , and a
sprinkling of newsvenderiun from London , far exceiuls all attempts yefmade . But it burst rather too soon for tho convenience of the principal conspirator , who relies more upon the credulity and i ullibilityofa few dupes , than even upon his own good opinion of himself , although not bounded by very narrow limits . While in the north , Mr . O'Connor's friends-have b « n enabled to put him in possession of a few documents , and of not a few conversations , lie jravft three weeks' notice to the injured innocents who panted for an opportunity to meet him in public ind expose him , but when he appeared in HuddersfieM , on Tuesday last , and made proclamation three time * over for his accusers , they showed their discretion in thcirahsence .
Mr . O'Cosxou ' s speech , whichj lasted nearly twoiiour . « , was rapturously applauded throughout ; and the result of the malignity of his maligned is the subjoined Address from the Men of Iluddersfield , who have known him for eleven years . The Address of the Inhabitants of the Eornugh of rinddersfieid in Public . Meeting assembled in'the Philosophical Hall , August the 4 th , 18-16 .

supcr- ority over ' the rEngiish and other workingclasses from the fact that they laboured on tho land for themselves . Mr . M'Gratli then' entered into a full exposition of the merits ofthe land plan and the capabilities of the soil . After .-which , he criticised ( lie pretensions of the several political particsin the state with great force and eloquence ; and after a speech of considerable length , it was with great difficulty his audience would allow him-to conclude .. He was received with continued cries . of .. "Go on j go on , " Ho retired , however , amid tremendous applause , when
Mr . Thomas Claim of the Executive \ was introduced . He spoke with great fluency , and with ranch force . In reply to those who were taught to doubt the possibility of a" man and his family being supported on two acres of ground he recommended them not to travel foreign countries , but to look at . home for proof of the fact-at Holrafirth , ' only a few . miles , from Huddersfield , he had visited a man who had about an acre of ground , and ho believed tnat man was : then upon the platform , and there was more , than £ 120 worth of produce upon tha acre . He had visited similar quantities -in different parts , nnd he had been led , not driven , to theconclutor the
sion , that there wa 8 no hope of sa . ration working classes except in the possession ofthe lano . We regret exceedingly that it is not in our power , in consequence ofthe length of Convention business , to give a more detailed roport of the very interesting proceedings of the Huddersfield meeting . Suffice it tosay , that there never was a meeting that gave more unbounded satisfaction , and that at half-pastll o ' clock the meeting waa aa solicitous that Mr . Clarhshould continue his address , ns if it was but sunseton a cold winter ' s evening . Tho place was broiling and yet not an individual gave way ; and since the meeting , those who were before stranger ^ to Messrs . M'Grath and Clark , have expressed their entire
approval of the country s choice . . ¦ At the conclusion ofthe mcetine , the old spirits flocked to ihc platform , cordially shook hands , and expressed their determination to set the old ship afloatonee more , with a more faithful and disciplined crew . Messrs . O'Connor , M'Grath , and Clark vetired to the house of iMr . Pitkeithly after the meeting was over , and were most hospitably and welcomely entertained by one of those Chartists " whom the griping cupidity and plunder ofthe patriots of 1839 , had almost driven from the ranks .

NATIONAL VICTIM COMMITTEE . This body met at the South London Chartist Hall on Sunday , August the 2 nd , Mr . T . Mills in the chair . Mr . Stallwood , on behalf of the secretavy , submitted the report of the committee ' s proceedings during their year of office , which wag unanimously adopted , and ordered to be transmitted to the Convention at Leeds . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting terminated .
AGED PATRIOTS AND VICTIMS WIDOW AND ORPHANS FUND . A public meeting was held on Sunday , August the 2 nd , at the South London Hall , for the purpose of electing a secretary , vice Cooper resigned ; Mr . T . Mills was called to the chair . Mr . T . Clark , of the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , was unanimously elected to that office ; the following persons were also added to the committee , Messrs . T . Mills , J . Milne , W . J . Souter , J . Simpson , and E . Stallwood . The secretary was requested to issue an addresa to tho public on behalf of the funds , and tho meeting was dissolved .
LEEDS . The Chartist Council , desirous ofarailin ? tliemoelves of the opportunity siffo' ded by the meeting of the Convention , of holding public meetings iti furtherance of theDemocrtticcau ^ e , issued a placard calling a public n'eeting to be held in the Vicar ' s Croft , on Sunday , August 2 nd . The bills convening the meeting were several days issued when , on Saturday last , our Whig Mayor issued his mandate to the Chief Constable to prevent the meeting , and bills to thai effect were posted through the town . On the appear . mee of the prohibition , some members of thu Chartist Council waited upon the Mayor to remonstrate with him upon his illiberal conduct , but they found him imraorcnWy resolved upon the prevention nf the meeting . Under these circumstances , the Council ismed another bill , announcing that the prohibited meeting would be held on Richmond Hill , at two o ' clock on Sunday afternoon . At the hour
appointed , a numerous meeting assembled , when Mr . William . Brook , meisber of the Town Council , was unanimously appointed to preside . He commenced an excellent speech by severe , but well merited animadversions upon the conduct ofthe Mayor in forbidding the meeting . Judging from the hearing of tho meeting towards Mr . Brooks , lie seems to possess in a high degree the confidence and respect of his fellow towns-men . The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs . Tattersall , M'Grath , and Clark , in speeches , ' to every sentiment of which the mind of the audience responded . Thv all pervading sur . timeut of tho meeting seemed to be incxlingniahable hatred of Wlikficry , and a firm resolve upon continuous oxortioif till ' the reins of power are snatched from the hands of tho treacherous party i : ow in possession ol them . The Chairman having announced that a public meeting- wonlil too held in the Croft on Monday evenin-r , a vote of thanks wns > unanimously accorded to him , when Hie meeting separated .

Caution to Railway tbavbllebs from Soon . « D —A striking instance of the absurdity of the existing countervailing duties upon spirits entering England from Scotland , and the annoyance caused by j ] to travellers , many of whom are ignorant of tiiuir existence , occurred 011 Monday morning , when the special train , conveying the pleasure parties from Edin . burgh arrived at Berwick terminus . A latiy wnl gentleman , ' on alightiiig from one of the carriages brought out a small basket with them , when they were accosted by one ofthe Excise officers blunging to Berwick , who seized and searched it . A small bottle , containing about a pint of whiskey , was found in it , which he seized , when the gentleman rtiinon . strated with him , saying it was only a small portion he liadbrouuht with him fop his own refreshment , and he was not aware there was anything . improper in so doing . The ollicer , however , was ine . vor . iWe , and seized also the basket , bi'fc this he returned on
receivingthe ' gentleman ' s name . This case , we trust , will ( pGrate as a caution to travellers * , and may prevent many from being subjected to a similar annoyance . — Berwick Warder .

GUILDHALL . ExTBAOitPiNABY Illeoal Mabbiaoe . —Walter Wilkins ,. past his fiftieth year , and living at So . le , Smiti i fieldbars , as a goat trainer , appeared , on Saturduy klbre Alderman lVood and Chnllls , to charge an elderly female giving the name of Sally Wilkins , ' under the foi lowing extraordinary circumstances . The complainant stated that on Friday afternoon the prisoner cumo to his residquce and asked him f < n- money . Knowing her to be exceedingly violent , ana with . 11 viuiv ofpruventing her gaining ndmissioii he locked tiio " tluor . She then burst It open , aiid proceeding to abuse him- and his wife , who " was UvhiE with him , in very disgusting terms , lie seized her , and conveyed her to the stationhouse . The prison . er . did not deny breaking open the duor , but added that she did it iu consequence of the complainant , who was her husband , refusing to contribute tuuui ' tis her support . She was the widow of his brother wlicn he married her . Shortly after he deserted her , amMeftherin the most abject state of roverty . She only wanted a little relief from him to keep her from starvation .
Mr . Alderman Chiillis—Why , Mr . Wiltons , this is an ex * traordinary . statement ; is it correct ? . Willkiiis—I admit she was the widow of a brother when I married her , but before that ceremony took place I told her that the marriage would be illegal . Mr . Aldormnn Chiillis—In what way ? Wilkins—Before we went to church 1 showed her the Act , and fully explained to her that it perfectly n uaolved me from tha consequences of such , a marriage . The uct is the 5 th and Gth of William IV ., e . 54 ; and the second section says , " Arid be it further enacted , that nli mar . riages which hereafter be celebrated between' ' persons within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity or alfinitj-,
shall be absolutely null und void to all intenti'iiis and purposes , whatever . " . It is under that Act that I con .-r . ckT I am free from all responsibility in keeping her . Your worship I would not Imve adopted this course , had she not so frequently troubled me . Mr . Alderman Clnillis—But you deserted her nnd left her destitute , I think she had good grounds for tioubling you . : . ¦¦ ¦¦ . „ Complainant—Not under the Act , your worship Mr . Alderman Wood—Do you mean to say thnt you went to church and went through the marriage cere , mony with this female , when you knew it to be bad in law ? Complainant—I did so .. > - ¦ -.--..-..
Alv . Alderman Wood—And I suppose the oath you took when you took this wumau for better or for . worse , to churish and maintain her , &c ., goestor nothing 1 Witness—tSucli is the law , sir . Mr , Alderman Wood—Then , sir , I am disposed to think that you ought to be proceeded against for contracting an illegal marriage .- ¦ ¦¦¦ -. Prisoner—But , your worship , he has since married his niece , and ia nuw living with her . ( Much astonishment iu Court . ) Mr . Alderman Challis—Is that a fact , Wilkins « Wilkins—Yes , it is . Mr . Alderman Wood—Then I am certainly of opinion that wo ought not to part with you ; you must be detained . As fov the leuials , she is discharged ... . . At a later partoi' the day , VVilkins was again brought fov ward . Alderman Challis observed , that his offence was of a very serious nature , and he should call upon him to enter into bis ovrn recognizances to answer any clmrjje they might prefer ngainst him . Th « niece whom Wilkins admitted to hare married is a daughter by a former husband of the first female he had married . ' : MANSION HOUSE . A young man , one of whoso names is John Fitzstamuiis , was brought before Alderman Gibbs , u |> m the charge of having robbed the Right Hon .

There was no policeniau oil the spot , but soon after the robbery was committed , a policeman made his appearance , and took the prisouer , who said he had come from Gravepend , into custody .
In answer to questions from Mr . Hobler , his Lordshipsaid he felt his watch go from him as the prisoner passed . He valued the watch , because , when he became of a go , hw fathre presen ted him with it . He was waiting at the seeps at the time ior his carriage . Mr . John Wooil , of Falcon-street , stated that he was standing close to the Lord Mayor at the time , ami he saw the prisoner and a shorter man iu front of his Lordship , and foil ? oi' Kve ethers uboiit the spot .
