      j £ ] inds of Crief , where the decree wa to be jtcated , ud upon entering the grounds of def utd . tie bailiffs , in the most courteous manner , pjjcjeded to diitrtiiMKJow , then driven by deceased , ^ frtnpon he resitted ; the captain remonstrated in Henioit friendly and benevolent language , pointing ^ t the inevitable result of his perseverance , but the ( tsolation of deceased appeared strengthened by the f orbearance of the captain . " Coroner . — "Did he offer any forcible resistance to the civil authorities ?" Witnea . —" Why , cer tainly , his gestures were cost menacing , and hii attitude and language ) reathed the most determined defiance . " Coroner . — " Yes ; but did he uie force— was he BlB d 5 tf Critf , » h < re tbc decree «» to Ik

      tmed ?" Witness . —" Yes , certainly . '' Coroner . —" With what ?" Witness . — " Why , be had a very large dub . " Coroner . — " Such as persons use to drive cattle . " Witness . —" Tes , it may be used for that , cer-, inly ; but it would also cause death . " Coroner . — " Well , sir , what happened then ?" Witness . —" Well , then , when the captain had

      [ tmonstrated in vain , and seeing an immense eonjonrse of persons flocking from the hills in all jreclioni , he gave me orders to fire , and I obeyed , tnd deceased fell , and that ' s all I know altout it . " The Coroner asked if there were any other witussses to be examined , and whether the friends of the deceased were represented there , or had any iritnesse * to produce , or observations to make , and { tearing no reply , he addressed the Jury as folio *! s—

      "Gentlemen of the Jury , —It will be for you to ttv , after the evidence you have heard , whether depised cuae by his death lawfully , that is , whether fcua the evidence of Mr . Spilsby , you believe the resistance offered , if sneh it can be called , was suf . fident to warrant Captain Squeezetenant in ordering the military to fire , or whether unnecessary force ins used . " "Gentlemen , it it my duty to tell yon that the eonckmon to which I have come is , that no sufficient nose for the taking away human life has been proved , bu , t on the contrary , that there has been a

      most illegal , unconstitutional , and unjustifiable use made of those great powers committed to the magistracy ; and , gentlemen , whatever your verdict may be , I have no hesitation in saying that a jury of your countrymen would , upon the evidence of Mr . Spilsby—which , I must say upon so solemn and awfhl an occasion , has been given in a careless , off-hand manner , anything but creditable to that youth ; and , 431 was observing , I have no doubt but a jury of your country would upon his evidence alone find a

      verdict of WILFUL MURDER against Captain Sqneezetenant and his youthful accomplice ; and further bear in mind , gentlemen , whatever your verdict ma ? be , it is still in the power of the friends of tie deceased to seek justice by an open trial in a court of law , and where they will be entitled to use the evidence of Mr . Spilsby against the accused . However , gentlemen , the case is now before you , and you will return a verdict according to your oaths , upon the evidence you have heard .

      The was a mooegt s pause , when the Foreman , without consulting his fellow-jurors , took a scrap of paper from his pocket , and read the following verdict : — " We find that the ditaued , Phelim O'Donnell , of Crieff , in the Barony of West Carberry , in the county of Cork , came by his death from gun-shot wounds , inflicted upon him while resitsing Her Majesty ' s Forces , and the civil authorities , in the lawful execution of their duty . " The reading of the verdict was Mowed by unbroken silence , the other jurors banging their heads as it ashamed to look up .

      After a short pause , the Coroner told t he Foreman to hand him the verdict ; and on receiving it , he examined it closely , and taking a note out of his pocket , with which he compared the hand writing , he asked the foreman , first turning down the name , if he was the writer of that note . He replied in the negative , when the Coroner observed" Captain Squeezetenani , how is this ? Will you have the goodness to explain this mystery ? This note purporting to come from you to me , and delivered by your servant , and calling upon me to hgld this inquest , and the verdict of the jury , are written in the same hand , and what is very remarkable it , that in both deceased is spelled DISAISED . "

      The Captain , however , at whose side sat Mr . Grabb , declined giving any satisfaction , when the Coroner , addressing the foreman , asked him to be kind eDough to write his name to the verdict , and he scrawled "John Simpson , " in a hand scarcely legible . The Court broke up , Captain Squeezetenant , Cornet Spilsby , and Mr . , Grubb taking their departure , escorted by a squadron of Her Majesty ' s Royal Hussan ; snd I subseqaently learned , that the foreman was the gardener , and the other jurors were all tenants in arrear to S queezetenant , and were sumooced by himself . "

      Unwilling to believe that the hi gher courts of justice could be as corrupt as the inferior tribunals , I ran breathless to O'Donnell to communicate what the Coroner had said , as a balm to the feelings of the afflicted father ; and when he heard what I had to say , he replied , — "Wisha , then . m engage we won ' t be up and down with the Saxon law ; " adding , " sure , my God isn't that what they ' re for , to shoot and exterminate

      the poor ould Irish ? Sure , isn ' t it often I hear Father O'Farrell tell how there was more reward for shorting a wolf than there was fine for killing an Irishman ; and it was MAYRUS HIBARNIGUTS , they u ed to call them . Sure , if we'd go to law , " » ' t it his friends and relations , and comrogues that * ou ! d be on the jury ? and sure , maybe half of them would have committed the same deed , or would k thinking of doing it . No , no , " said he , « ' the Saxon laws wasn't made for us . "

      " Well , but , " I observed , " I imagined you would seek some justice for your son . " "Never fear , " he replied , " we'll have justice . " " Where , " I asked , ' -if not from a jury of your Country . " " From God and the O'Donnells , " he rejoined proudl y ; and do you think even the Saxon laws would hang my poor boy for what he done ?" "No , " said I , "certainly not . "

      "Well , then , " he rejoined , " why should they Jho ot him like a hare when he didn't desarve to be bung like a dog ? " adding , ' -No , no ; we ' ll have a luster jud ge and a juster jury nor the Saxon law * ° ald give os ; and , take my word for it , that , dear « s my ion was to me and his relations , not a hair of J * dere * head will be touched , except by the «*» of God , and on the clearest evidence . Sure , J toy wouldn ' t say an out-of-the-way word to the ^ nest ihi tha t ever walked ; and , thanks be to ° < i . he never wronged or injured man or woman ; L . — —* - ¦•• £ »*»• v »* «* y * uwu iu »» vi nvujaii j

      " With pleasure—with sorrow , rather , " iaj , j j correcting myself— "but wfllingly . " « Thank your honour kindly , " said the old man , again grasping my hand , " to-morrow at twelve he'l leave the house .

      of my host , who , however , had not yet returned from bis daily duties . Mis . Mahoney welcomed me heartily , and after making anxious inquiries about the " craythurs , " she asked me if I would not write an account of the ttory to Captain Burford , at Phelimeen was the one his honour would always take out with bini when hetfe go shooting , and coursing , and fishing , and if I did not forget to give her best respects to the dear Captain . "

      About an hour after dark the Priest and his coadjutor came home ; he made anxious enquiries after the O'Donnells , and thanked me most cordially for having visited then . Worn out and tired , from the day ' s toil and the previous night ' s excitement , the worthy Pastor retired to bed at an early hour . I followed his example , and rose up betimes to make sure of keeping my word with the O'Donnell . I attended poor Phelim ' s remains to their last home , and , subsequently , by the kind interference of my friend Mrs . Mahoney , I succeeded in gaining admission ( incognito , however ) , to the black list Jury , and of whose proceedings , and the funeral . I shall

      acquaint the reader in my next communication ; satisfying myself , for the present , with merely stating , that , in the whole course of my life , I never wit * nessed a more solemn affecting proceeding , and never contemplated the possibility of so just a tribunal being constituted out of such apparently inappropriate materials .

      Tbe hope of being a mother , The joy of being wife , The with to add another To tbe running stream of life ; The pride , the painfulpleaiura \ 7 hea the mother tees her child , Ho other heart can measure . It is ecitacj run , wild . It it son or daughter , none ! Is it like it * father ! Can such a pleasure be a curse f 'TisGod ' a distinction rather ;

      And when tbe little helpless sacks There comes a stream of fresh delight , Tbe thought of lambs and chicks and docks . To babies , tbe most pleasing sight . All thought of other care is lost , As in her arms her treasure lies , Cheaply purchased at the cost Of labour ' s pangs and labour ' s cries . The little hand is soon held up And kissM . andkiss'd , andkiss'd again , Sweet joy ( till rising in tbe cop , N <> thought of past or future pain . And then the father , gently moving . Stands beside the bridal bed . Fond as ever and as taring As when he courted , woo'd . and wed .

      Soon the little urchin prattles , Then stumbles , tambles , falls about . Laughs and plays with toys and rattles Till brother puts her little nose out .

      ~ " ^^ i " CBDKIi TbkATHEKT OF A SxRVAXT GlBL BT HER Mistress —On Monday , an inquest was held on the body of Mary Ann Campbell , aged 14 , who , it was alleged , died from ill usage she received from her miatreas , Mrs ..

Witness went , and found the deceased in the Bhop . creaming . She asked what was the matter , when the deceased answered that her mistress had kicked

      her in the back , and that while , she was scrubbing the floor , she ( her mistress ) bad put her head under the grate , and burnt her forehead ; she showed witness the ashes still on her hair . Witness went up stairs to Mrs Levy , and asked what the girl had done to deserve such punishment , and the reply was , that she ( deceased ) would not clean the place , and that " she had nut been treated bad enough . " As her mistress promised not to beat her again , she went away , leaving the deceased i but at twelve o ' clock that night she ran home to -witness , and immediately upon entering the room fell down in a fit .

      IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO WISH TO POSSESS THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE . j At a meeting of the Central Election and General K « P 8 * " ™> n Committee , held at the Assembly Rooms , 85 , Dean Street , Soho , on Tuesday evening , Ja "V ar ? , L - 'Mr ; John Milne in the ctotr . [ he President of the South London Registration and Election Committee , brought forward , according to notice , a synopsis of the Relorm and Registration Acts , also a letter prepared for the overseers of the parishes of England . He commenced by sayinjr ^ Fbe subject ot registering the compound householders few occupied my mind and attention' for three or'io or years past , and I am hapny to sav . that creak , „

      success has attended my labors . Gentlemen , I con * tend that if you pursue the same course that I have done , you might cause that ri ghteous document , the People ' s Charter , to be enacted in the space of three years . In the parish of St Mary , Newington , tbe constituency baa been doubled ; and in the parish of St . George the Martyr , Southwark , one thousand five hundred electors have been placed on the list of voters in one year . In the year 1845 , 1 called together a few friends , we then formed a Registration Society . We met regularly every week , and attended to the work we chalked out to do . A deputation attended the parish vestry , and referred too parochial authorities then present to tneir duty , as it regards the _ placing of every compound householders

      in the parish on tho rate book ; and every compound householder or occupier of property o ' f . the clear yearly value of not less than ten pounds per annum on the list of voters for members to serve in Commons House of Parliament . We aUo waited upon and corresponded with the overseers of the pariah , and informed there that a society was instituted to watch their proceedings . We where received , both at the vestry , and by the respective overseers with great courtesy , and at eur suggestion they hnnonrably performed their duty as by law required , and canvassed the whole of their parish , and placed the qualified persons on the list of voters , which passed the Revising Barristers Courts . We acted

      only partially on the parish of St . George ' s , and yet we thereby obtained the right for one thousand five hundred persons . So you see Gentlememen , the plan is very simple , and also very efficient ; if the pftoochialAHthorities neglect to do their duty , your next step is to arraign them before the Barristers Courts , and also before the Courts of Westminster for "wilful neglect . " I would recommend the Ch rtist body earnestly to press the attention , and procure tbe energies of the Chartist Executive to lay themselves out whenever opportunity serves to carry out this most important movement . The speaker concluded by submitting the following circular : —

      Circular to the Sub-Secretaries of the National Charter Association . The Central Election and Registration Committee would feel themselves guilty of a derilietion of duty were they not , at this juncture of political affairs , to make an appeal to the country for carrying the principles of the Charter into the Legislative Assembly of the Empire . The dissolution of parries , and the perplexities of class legislators , offer & fair field for contesting and carrying elections in favour of the Chartist interest , the committee therefore suggest to you , and the Chartist public , the propriety of adopting the following means without delay , in

      furtherance of this great and desirable object : — I . —The formation of Election and Registration Committees in all Chartist localities , not only where the Election may be contested with a fair prospect of success , but oven where it is not intended t © attempt a trial of strength , since it is only throueh the cooperation of the entire Chartist force , ( by way of contributions and otherwise , ) that successful results can in any instance bs obtained . Moreover it will bo advisable to make a public stand , and to proceed as far as a show of hands , ( even when a contest is not contemplated , ) thus to take the sense of the community , and promulgate tne principles of the Charter ..

      II—The raising of Vunds . —The Central Commit , tee are in correspondence with several boroughs where the Chartist party possess sufficient elective power to ensure success , but are not possessed of commensurate pecuniary resources for the legitimate expenses of a contest . Some such plans have collected large , but not adequate sums , and the subcommittees will see thenec-ssity of a general subscription to make available the local power of such boroughs . - III—Tho carrying the registration of compound householders and others into effect , thousands being deprived of the franchise , through the neglect of the parish officers . The Central Committee refer to the fact , that in the parish of St . Mary Newington , and St . George the Martyr , Southwark . Voters have been put upon the registration lists , who were hitherto disfranchised , owing to the neglect of the Parochial officers .

      The local committees will be put to neither trouble nor expense , since the parish officers are bound under severe fines and pen < Ities , to carry into effect the amended clauses of - the Reform and Registration Acts , for the purpose of batter enabling you to define the powers and provisions of which , a synopsis of the same in . subjoined . Enclosed you will receive a circular Jetter , which youjare requested to send without delay to the parish officer , ' of your several locality . To effect a careful revision of claims before the revising barrister at his court , should an election not previously have occurred . The committee cannot conclude , without expressing their earnest hope that this appeal will be suitably responded to . Now is the time to prepare for the general election , which will probably take place before the usual duration of Parliament has expired . It will 9 oon be too late for adequate prepara , tioiu . Again you aro reminded , let the opponents find us not only willing but ready for the contest . THE CENTRAL REGISTRATION AND ELECTION COMMITTEE , 83 , DEAN STREET , SOHO , LONDON .

      • Prksideht—Thomas Slingrbt Duncombb , M . P . Vice President—Thomas Wakley , M . P . . Secretary—James Urassby . The . Local Registration and Election Committee Chairman . Sub-Secretary . Committee Room . To the Overseers of the parish of - Grntmsmen , — I hereby inform you , that this above Committee was formed for the purpose of seeing the objects of the Reform Act and Registration Act carried into effect by the parochial authorities , in reference to placing the names of compound householders and others on the rate book , and on the list of voters for members to serve in Parliament .

      lam further directed to inform you , that by the Reform Act and Registration Act , CVic . c . 19 , s . 13 , the duty devolves on the overseers ' ot every parish , ( to perform under a high penalty of £ 5 before the Barrister , and £ 100 additional before Courts of Westminster ) , of causing to bemade out an alphabetical list of all persons who * may be entitled to vote in the election of a member to serve in Parliament , in respect of the occupation of premises of the clear yearly value of not less than £ 10 , situato in the parish , and to perform this duty , they must necessarily place on the rate book the name of every ccupier , as the foundation nf such list . By s . 57 of the last cited act , it is provided that all expences incurred by the overseers in executing such duties , shall be laid before the revising Barrister at the Court , where the list of voters shall be revised , that the Barrister is to certify the amount , and that it shall be lawful for the said overseers to receive the sum so certified to be due to them out of the first monies thereafter to be collected for

      the relief of the poor in the said parish or township . I am , ' gentlemen , on behalf of Committee , Sub-Secretary . Tbe circulars having been moved , seconded and adopted , together with a synopsis of the Reform and Registration Act " , ( which we will give next week)—tbe secretary was authorised to take the necessary steps to cause it to be inserted in as many papers as possible . A letter was read from Colonel Thompson , to which a reply was ordered to be sent .

      A strong appeal was made for funds to carry out the necessary operations , and secure the franchisoto as many as possible . > r The Committee then adjourned until Tuesday evening , January the 12 th .

      at a general meeting held yesterday evening . They are generally very desirous of uniting with the National Association of United Trades , and it was stated at the general meeting yesterday evening that the committee bad been met by a deputation of the Ship Carpenters , of whom there are upwards of 1 , 000 emploped in this port and its immediate vicinity , and it appears there are a great number of them who also are desirous of being connected with the National Association of United Trades . I was invited by a deputation of the Sawyers to at . tend their general meeting , and on hearing their wish expressed , I . advised them at once to address you , Sir , on the subject , 3 s I felt confident you would cause the requisite information to be communicated

      to them , ultimately it was resolved , that I should write to you on their behalf , I have , therefore , me st respectfully to request that you would . be pleased to communicate , or cause to be communicated te me for the information of the Sawyers and Ship Carpenters , the address of the public officers to whom they should apply for copies of such publication as contain the best account of the object and rules of the abovenamed institution , together with any other information you nuy conquer expedient for them in the formation of a branch of the association in this town . It may be necessary , also , for to mention if the parties on whose behalf I apply could obtain the assistance of a lecturer without being subjected to ant considerable expense .

      The zea ' . sus interest you take in the eause of the producers of wealth , is , I am glaatosee , observed and appreciated by many of the most intelligent and reflecting working men in this part of the country , and I feel confident that the present movement to effect their social and moral improvement will ultimately be crowned with success . The order of work ing men generally are becoming more alive to their [ own interest , and as they begin to reflect , vice and dissipation will decrease , and virtue and useful knowledge . will sprend ; every working man of intelligent cbai acter lias a degree of influence in his own sphere of life , and by such persons becoming advocates for the United Trades Association throughout the countiy it will take root everywhere where labour and mechanics exist . Whatever good result therefrom you will have the

      satisfaction to knovy that it has been in a great measure promoted by your exertions , which are equally patriotic towards your countrymen , and philanturopic towards the improvement of the who ' e human race , if carried out to the universal extent of which the principles are capable . I , for one , Sir , most respectfully and gratefully thank you for your zealous efforts to improve the condition of the working men , having been brought up a shoemaker , I have seen much of the disadvantages to which the working classes are subjected , and I hope I can and do appreciate tbe kindness , condescention , and disinterestedness of a gentleman in your rank in society devoting your time and talent for the benefit of those of your countrymen who so much require your aid , and who are comparatively friendless among the higher or wealthy classes , by whom so many are emploved .

      Any communication for the information of the Sawyers and Ship Carpenters on the subject above requested , addressed to me , will be thankfully received , and faithfully , handed to them , with any assistance to them which I can effect .

      I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , _ „ • Jambs JJohh . T . S . Buncombe , Esq . M . P . _ A letter waH read from Mr . Peel , missionary , stating that he waited upon the committee of Cotton Spinners , of Blackburn , and after a lengthened interview , they unnanimously agreed to call a public meeting for Thursday , tha 14 th instant ; he also had an interview with the committee of the Power-loom Weavers , representing a body of 3 , 021 , which resulted m a resolution to call a public meeting of their body on Monday evening ; had an excellent meeting in the Temperance-hall , Burnley , when he was honoured by the presence of several mill owners , and after a very lengthy address , which was most euthusiastically cheered , the following resolution was curried unanimously : — . . ¦

      That this meeting having heard the principles and object of the National Association of United Trades , for the protection of Industry and the Employment of Labour fully explained , are of opinion that these associations ; from their extensive organization and immense numbers , ar * better calculated to benefit th « working classes than any isolated trade , however , extensive , we therefore deem these associations worthy the support and confidence of the working men of Burnley , and pledge ourselves to use all our exertions , individually and collectively , to support the same . After a vote ol thanks to the Lecturer the meeting separated . Information for the Trades connected with , or desirous of joining the National United Trades Association : —

      Trades desjrous of joining the above association are required to remit one month ' s subscription of one half penny pof member , and one month ' s levy at twopence in the pound on their average earnings ; such subscription and levy to be considered for the current month , to date their adhesion from the first ot the said month . No trade will be enrolled on the book * before sending such subscription and levies , aftei which these levies are to be transmitted monthly , or ottener , and their subscription quarterly . A

      quarterly running account will be kept with each trade , and as a more equitable way . of taking the average numbers , the trades are to transmit at the end of each quarter the average numbers for that quarter , and pay accordingly . The Trades are particularly requested to address all their correspondence for the above associations to their new offices , at No . 11 , Tottenham-court Road , and to m » ke the post-office orders payable at the Bloomsbury post-office , to Thomas Barratt , secretary .

      TO TOE TRADE 3 OF GREAT BRITAIN . IPISTLK THE J 1 RST , ON LANDLORDS , LABOUR LOR D S , AND LO A N LORDS . Whoso would be greatest among you , let him become ' the servant of all . " Man ! the masterpiece and reputed lord of creation , hath been overwroug ht of his rights , and swindled of his property and just position by jumbling social and political arrangements , or more properly speaking , derangements . Man , in the senst here used , is no longer lord ; the unjust few , a small minority , are alone invested with the power of that title , and with it more power , yea prialleges , than they have any right to possess .

      Tile three classes of lords at the heud of this epistle constitute the " fen" that gather the sweets of the human hive , leaving the bitters , the dreg » , to sustain the overburtlienod bees , during tbe dronry sensons of depression of trade and commerce , which they ( the lords ) fur the most part produce . In order thoroughly to dittinguish the I merits and demerits of the parties constituting this body of lords , it will beneces 9 ary to subdivide each class into parts , according to the wealUi , influence , and power of the sevtiral persons , which I purpose to do , and treat on in the following epistle , with a view to indelibly stamp on the mind of the operatives the road te > wealth , and its accompaniments—influence and pewer , —by showian

      clearly the ladder on which these ascended , that the workers may ascended it also , or ,. If needs be , trip it up I before all future unjust aspirants , and erect a new ene for themselves , framed in hones'y and honour , 1 may have to plead extenuating circumstances for the faults of I the lordly" few ; " yet I will nols '' set aught down in malice , " " but speak right on such things , " that all shall own are true . I will not be nwh in words , nor seok to set the labourer against the lord - but show the roud to redemption for him , which , it he choose , he shaUbe free Indeed ; if not , lit him go on boasting of freedom whilst ke licks tho dust from the feet of those that spurn him , and make profit of his toil .

      takeu by Mr . Seth Travir . The Chairman commenced the business by reading the placard convening the meeting , and after a few appropriate remarks , introduced Mr . J .

After a tow luvther observations , the lecturer sat down after an address of two hours , amidst the most enthusiastic cheering - , which was continued for some time .
