terdsy evening , on Mitohera-green , Williamaburg , one of the moBt numerous , respectable , enthusiastic and thoroughly determined meetings we have ye ; seen assembled in behalf of oppressed and downtradden Ireland , and of the national and civil right *) of her people . A goodly number of young Irish volunteers , armed withmuBket and bayonet , with ao effective band , headed the prooession down to the Williamaburg Ferry . , and thence to the place 01 meeting . BeBide the usual pike carried by the voluntesrri . they displayed , on this occasion , a splendid new flag , in which ware combined the ' stars and stripes , of the American free-floating banner , with an emblem of the Sun under which Borome had freed his country of the Danish yoke .
Major Fathiok Shout was moved to tho chair by Mr Mooney , who said that the present meeting was called not for speaking purposes , butfor fighting . The people of Ireland had long enough adhered to moral force priBqipIes , to agitation , to expostulations with tbe English government ; and that meeting wae rhere assembled to vow before high Heaven that Ireland , the land of their forefathers , should and muitbefree . This was a day full of inspiring though ^ to the lovers of true freedom ; and nowtb--it Ireland ' s struggle was to come on ere three monthit was the duty of Ireland's friends to rush to her assistance . ' Mr O'Connor was loudly called for by the meeting and addressed it in a brief and spirited speech ; in whioh he stated , that 144 brave fellows had already gone to Ireland , and as soon as they could raise 5 , 000 men , they had the brave General Shields , who fought and bled in Mexico , to stand at theii ^ head .
Subscriptions began to be taken in at this stage of the proceedings ; and the rapidity and numbers with whioh the dollars came in was really astonishing-Many of the fair sex showed their feeling and love of liberty , by handing in liberal Contributions in their own persons , or by proxy , it was truly affecting to eea what numbers of poor labouring men came , with unsophisticated enthusiasm , to contrihote their dollars out of their hard and sun-sdorohed earnings . If the mind which animates bone and sinew or frishmen at home , had just one year ' s tutorage on the" free soil , and in the liberty-inspiring principles'of our great Republic it would gather a vigour arid a firm-Hess that would strike off Ireland ' s chains in one short month .
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Dr McCarron , brother in-law to Mr Dnify , of the Dublin Nation : paper , and just come over from Ireland . Dr McCarron ' sspeech was strongly impassioned , deeply poetic , and generously patriotic . He Spoke in high terms of tbe North Presbyterians in Ireland ; and showed , tbat from them sprung Ireland ' s best patriots . Emmett was one , Mitchel Was one ; and ia Mitohel ' s wrong , the English government had evoked the strong , indignant spirit of his fellow Presbyterians : Mr M'Cartht , an American citizen , also addreB 6 ed the meeting in a vigorouB speech , which was loudly cheered . As a citizen of the free AmericaD Republic , ha said , he was violating no principle of the constitution , by raising his voice in behalf of freedom in any part of the world .
Mr Thompson , another American , also addressed the meeting in a neat and appropriate speech , lie wished he had a hundred voicea aod a hundred hands to use in Ireland ' s cause : and he earnestly impressed upen their friends tbe necessity of striking the blow home , when they did strike . A declaration was read by Mr Moomei . relative to Ireland's position previously to English rule , snd what she would bscome after her freedom wee effected . This declaration every volunteer would sign on board the ohip when leaving for Ireland ' s rescue . A committee was appointed to superinteed th * movement in Williamsburgh .

MR ERNEST JONES . [ Id the report of tho trial ef M > Ernest Jones in last Saturday ' s SiiiR , the conclusion of Sergeant WilkinB ' s speeoh was unavoidably abridged . We now aive that portion' of the speech in full . The following should take the place of the last twenty-twe lines of tho speeoh as given in our last . ] - I now come to that part of my learned friend's soeeoh where be talks of the dispensations of Providence , snd I cannot but think that we somehow ascribe t > Providence those evils which ought to be attributed to our own imperfect institutions . "I cannot but think that we frequently make nee of the phrase rfigpensationsof Providence for our own convenience , and to suit our own views . The Door man has been
told that he is to live by the sweat of hie brow—that the band of t&o diligent maketh ich —that God eacethfor the poor « 'that be will punish thoae who do not care for the wants of the poor—and the learned Attorney-General gives in his notion of the necessity for the gradations that at present exist in society , and proves them consistent with tlienB texts from the Bible I know that there most be gradations in society—I know that order is the first Jaw ofnature , , r , d that consequently there must ba gradations ; bat the pour man lias never felt tbat tbe laws of the country were made for those who contributed so material ! v to the wealth of tbe country , and he is bosiowhat startled when be is told tbat his toil is to be un-OKaaing , and that this is owing to tho dispensations
o ^ n wise Providence . He sayB , ' I do not believe it — 'I grant that there must be gradations in society * but I deny that that is the dispensation of Providence that olotbeB the sineourist in purple and fine linen , and leaves the hard working poor man to starve at his door . I have yet to hear a better authority than the Attorney Gsaeral ' a , before I believe that ; this state of things is owing tn the dispensations cf Providence . I know that there are a thousand ills that flesh is heir to , but I hare yet to learn that the poor man mttst be contented to live upon nothing —that he is noli to speak his grievances—when he Been thousands of man clothed in purple , who treat the wants of then * fellow men with indifference , and who ioi > k with an u ' upityinfT eye tethe spectacle of hundreds of thousands of their fellow creatures , suffering from want , and starving aronnd thorn 'I find , ' tbe poor man saysi to himself' the einecuriat noble * man eettiae £ 10 . 000 a' vear . fram ' an office
with which he never troubles himself . -1 find the old : dowage ? aunt of another statesman riding m ber carriage , and drawing her large annual income from the- national resources to which she has sever contributed . I find right reverend Cithers in God revellin ? in luxuries * at the expense of tbe working man , and-yet preaching to the world tbat it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than fora rich man to enter into the kingdam of heaven . I fiad thes 6 right ; reverend fathers living in palaces , and , melancholy contrast , surrounded by misery * dige&sej and destitution . ' Is it to be wondered > at , - that : the poor man should say , ' I find your expenses are too great , and that my means of existence ara too smalt , it is , therefore , necessary that this should be amended . ' You speak of the dispensations of Providence . I deny that a wise Providence intended that the poor man should ba made to bear ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ "•
The oppressor ' s wrong , the proud-man ' s contumely . Oh , if those who live in high places would but ascer . tain the miseries of their Buffering fellow-men , and aonre from their abundance to those who require it ! Oh , if they . would but yield to the prayer of those who seek but a portion of the advantages that God hath given to his creatures , then would disaffection be dispelled and agitation and excitement cease But at preeent th 6 advantages of fortune are not fairly distributed , for while ihe few . are sated with luxuries tha man ? haVe not sufficient to oat , and thouaands , many thousands , are living upsq offal that the very brutoa reject . Do not tell these men that this ! s owing to the dispensatioDB of Providence , for ' be assured they will not believe you . They feel
f hat ii is a bitter mockery , and an insult to tell them so , and they remember it against those wfio ^ refuse to aid them in their hour of trouble ., The defendant tells thorn that , 'theri . shall'be no poace in the country as long as I , for one humble individual can prevent it , until the poor man has his rights , and the , rich man hae . hia hohc brought to the grindstone . ' lie does not mean shooting , and violence ,, and dis order . When he speaks of the rioh man ' s cose being brought to the grindstone , he makes use of a figure of speech , meaning only that he wili be compelled to pay tpwatfds th& Buppost of his fellow countrymen in a greater degree that he does at present . He tells them not tri believe the Dispatch , whioh asserted that he was a Tory ten yeara ago . and
he adds , that he' has about hiB person the bayonet wftiinds of the King of Hanover ' s soldiers . ' Gentlemen , the King of Hanover is sufficiently unpopu ' ar , amjj I do not wish te' say one word snore sbont him . ' Weil , there again ia Cobden , who tells you that demagogaes are going about disturbing ! and breaking into the middle-clasp movement . ' Why was this introduced into the indictment ? What has Cobden to di > with his movements , ind what does he mean by tbe use of the word' demagogues V Dses he mean men who ro about the country , disseminating certain opinions by means of lectures and publio sdd » 83 ea ? It ro , then are Mr Cobden and his supporters demagogues . He says in his letter to the Daily News ; that the individuals- who go about disturbing these
meetings have got ths wages of despotism in their rockets . Ask Mr Cobden' where are the £ 70 , 000 that were given to him ? Well now , I think this iras a fair Roland for Mr Gobde& ' s ¦ Oliver . Now I cannot understand why in the casos of some of the other defendant ) , some of the more important passages were left out , although the meaning of the whole speech was to ba gathered from them , while here passages are introduced which are of no use for tha purposes of sustaining the charges at all . There can ba no sedition in all this . Ernest Jones is not arraigned for treason against Cobden , or sedition against the League . iBball not read the succeeding pasEBges , as they are not material to the charge . The defendant proceeds to illustrate his principles by
le Btory of the farmer , whose field was overrun with thistles . 'He wished to destroy the thistles , and what did he do ? He "isn ' t off the topa 6 f them , and the thiatlea sprouted up more luxuriantly than ever ; but there came another farmer , and that man was a Chartist . ' He was a radioal reformer , and he said , do cot keep on cutting and cropping them , bat root tlv&ra \ ri > . "The middle okteesare cutting the tops off the thistles , and they will aprout more luxuriantly than ever . I want you to take the spade and the hoe to them , and to root up the noxious weed altogether ; whea you destroy it it never comes again . ' 1 Come up in your claasea . —come up ia your wards , — triye them B ' uoh a display . as they never had before . Give them , at least , another KeneiDcton , but not en
Kennmgton Common . ' The Attorney ? General in talking Of this meeting at Kennington , eppke as if Janea desired to renew the disturbances that had occurred on that occasion . But these disturbances were not occasioned by Chartists , but by those gentlemen tfho do not know much difference between mine nnd thine , —in short , by thieves . ' I trust that much may be done between , this and the 13 th , and no , doubt on the 12 th your movement will make another advance again . ' Now this meeting on the 12 ; u , which the Times described at one great picnic ot the police , certainly appears , from what I can read of ie , to . have been one of the most imposing eights ever seen . ' Now that I am going , enall I tell the men of Bradford , —shall I tell the men of Halifax
who aoted so gloriously and who acted so gallantly , —shall I tell th 8 ' men of Manchester , —shall I tell the men of- York , —shall I tell the men Of Leads . -ishall I tell thb men of the West Riding , — them that London is determined to do its duty , because recolleot they are looking to the metropolis . In what state was the metropolis then ? Tney were looking to you for an example ? What was that example ? He s&ys in his speech : ' I must go down to those places whioh are exoited . They are looking to you for an example . You are tranquil . * * You are therefore free to furnish an example ( i t tranquillity . * I verily believe that not a single blow need be Htraok for liberty in this' country , I believe that in Ireland it must be struck , and what is more I balieve that in Ireland it will be struck . ' Now what does be mean by that ? Not that he advocates
the striking of the blot ? in Ireland , but that things are in suoh a state that a blow must be struck , and that belief , gentlemen , in common to many . 4 Bat whatever maybe the consequence , organise * ! organise ! organise ! and prepare for everything ; only preparation , only organisation is wanted , and the green flag shall fioat over Dawning-atreet and St Stephen ' s ; only energy is wanted , only determination , and what w , ll be the reault ?

At the time he was speaking of Jonea , his every look , and word , and gesture showed thflfc his feelinjre were embarked in this accusation .

how tbat master mind may be inchned ' in this case , but if he goes against me , then , indeed , is ray case hopeless . Gentlemen , I leave this to your consideration .

[ In the country editions ef the Star of last week , the speech of Mr Ernest Jones when brooghfc up for sentence was merely noticed ; we now give the speech in tull , asfollowg ] : — Chief Justice Wii-dk . —There is one public meeting before the court . I know nothing of any ether . Ernest JoHfis . —Then yottr lordship has accused me of using at this meeting inflammatory language , and you have been pleased to add that this was no meeting ifor the purposes of public discussion . My lord , many meetings were held there in the course of previous Sundays , for the purpose of discussing the necessity of the Charter , as a law for this land ,
before the necessity for some change was so univerfcally recognised by all 6 k « ses , My lord , I have never failed to express my opinions at these public meetings on public matters , and it will be in the recollection of the persons attending these meetings , that in any question that affected the welfare of my fellow men I wss never silent , I have called the attemion ef the . public to the laws which press so heavily upon the shopkeepers , upon the , class that has tried me to day . I have explained at these meetings , how that class might be relieved from tbe infliction of the poor rate . I have advocated the repeal of thelaw of primogeniture , and the
separation of Church and State . The persons who were in the habit of attending my addresses , were well acquainted with ray views , and how I proposed that these should be carried out . Your lordship has alluded to ray appeal for organisation , I never said that that organisation was to be applied to purposes of violence . My lord , it has been said , that I ought not to bfi a party to an agitation of this kind , because I myself do not happen to feel the pangs of hunger . I tell the person who says so , that I should blush for myself , and for humanity , if I had not the heart to feel , and if I did not believe that others also felt for . miseries
which did not affect themselves—for sufferings to which they were happily strangers . . I feel , my lord , tbat I was entitled to commendation instead of reproach—worthy of praise , and unworthy of censure . I feel tbat I was right when I spoke to the world of the sufferings of the poor—I felt that I was subject to those sufferings myself , and I could not sit down contentedly and know that there was misery around me , without attempting te find a remedy . Now , what does your lordship say . '—and I offer this
remark with the utmost respect , for I know tbat when I appeal to an English judge I appeal to one of the highest and most incorruptible tribunals in the world . ' ' I complain not of the flippant wit of the Attorney-General , but I do submit that your lordship has no right , in passing the sentence of this court , to sentence me also to a blight on my character . You , my lord , may suppose that I stand here as a criminal : there are others out of doors who will recognise in me the advocate of the cause of the people .
The prisoner was here interrupted by the learned Judge—Ernest Jokks . —My lord , my lord—It appears , from an expression that has fallen from your lordship , that I advocate a general division of propertythat I wish to take , from the rich ia order that I may give to the poor . My lord , when I am undergoing the sentence of this court in ' prison , if your lordship would desire to see how mistaken are the opinions you ascribe to me , look to the columns of the Northern Star and the pages of the Manchester Examiner of the 10 th of last month . Your
lordship will find , by reference to these , that I have ever advocated the rights of the middling classes . I do not , by this phrase , mean the shopkeepers . I do not merely mean the gentlemen of that class who have been my judges to-day . Instead , ray lord , of advocating a division of property , I have suggested means by which ( without , I repeat , infringing the rights of property ) , the evils which affect the middle classes might be removed . I suggested the means by which the poor man , from a fair day ' s , work , might have a fair day's wages , and by which , he might assume that which is his by right—an independent position in the land . I have suggested the means , by which the tradesman
would be relieved of the undue taxation that oppresses him , and property would alike flow to the poorer man and to the tradesman . Your lordship has suggested that the luxury of the aristocracy is calculated to do the people good . Your lordship said that the rich man could not better spend his money for the sustenance of the poor than under the present rules of society , and your lordship instanced the nobleman ' s carriage as giving employment to numbers of the working men . ' Look to the iron ; the leather , the copper , ' and so on , said your lordship . Now I do not venture to set my judgment up against your lordship , but I respectfull y
ask your lerdship to allow me to say what I really do thinkupon this question . I will not enter into the question of Chartism now , for I do not wish to disturb the learned Attorney-General who I perceive is asleep . I will not venture to awaken any field of discussion , but , my lord , I do contend that the keeping of a footman , and a groom and stud—the luxuries indispensable to the rich man ' s establishment are injurious to the great majority of the community . My lord , what does wealth arise from ? Wealth is not money ? Wealth is produce—wealth is food—what does food arise from ? From two things .
Chief Justice Wilde . —I am not going to discuss political economy with you . If you give me any reason for considering—Ernks ? Jones . —My lord— - Chief Justice Wilde . —It is no use delivering a political harangue here , whe . t I am anxiously ligtening—. Ernest Jonfs . —Your lordship will allow me to say that the object I had in view was this . If I am a bad public teacher ; if not safe to bs abroad , 1 conceive that your lordshi p will ive me a sentence for a longer period than you rould do if you were convinced that I was a safe teacher . Now if I can
explain bnefl y . imd in a few words , the views I have taught ther people , I thirik your lordship will louk upon me in a different light than that you do at present . The learned At tomey . General has taken advantage of one speech of mine which embraces no exposition of political opinions , and it is upon that speech , and that alone , that your lordship and the jury judge me . Your lordship may sentence rue according to the estimate you at present form of me , but I venture to suggest that your lordship should not alone regard the speech , without also regarding the attendant circumstances . The other aueecb . es delivered by tne and the
attendant-^ Chief Justice Wildb . —The doctrines you propounded at this meeting are all 1 have to do with . Erxebt Jones . —Then , my lord , I cart only bow to the decision of your lordship . I will merely observe this . I am sentenced to imprisonment fer a certain apeech , and not only have I to endure the sentence of imprisonment , but it is attempted to cast an imputation upou my character ; and when I- am aentcHced to imprisonment , the crime attempted to be affixed upon my naxne by the Court is , that I am a destroyer of property—a spoliator of the rich . 1 avow no principle of the kind , and therefore it is that . I am induced to remove that stain from my charaoler . I wish no misapprehension to remain on the publio mind as to the ebjects I have in view . There it only one paper in Scot bad and another in England that will report any

proceedings to my advantage , and therefore I hopa your lordship—Lowl Chief Justice Wilde . — It is no use to spe ^ for the newspapers here . Ernest Jones . —Certainly not . But I may speak to character .

ARREST OF DR M'DOUALL . ( From the Dail y News , ) Dr M'Douall , the Chartist , * nd lately a member of the National Convention , was apprehended during Sunday night at bis lodgings , the Odd Feltowa ' Arms public-house , Asbton-under-Lyne , on a charge of unlawful assembling , sedition , and riot . The time of his apprehension was several hours after midnight , and a rescue having been talked of , he ws 8 taken to the Town-Hall , under an escort of police and military , and a military guard was p laced before the Town-hall . On Monday he was brought for examination before the magistrates , when the
court was crowded with people , and the large opea space in front of it was also filled with working men but all appeared to be peaceable . Tne witnesses were policemen , and the tenor of their evidence was that a gathering took place on the previous Monday night at the Charlestown Chapel , Ashton , when M'Doua . l delivered a lecture , from which all reporters and policemen were excluded , and that after the meeting was over , M'Douall headed a procession to tbe Odd Fellows' Arms , from a front window of which he . addressed his followers , urging them to arms , and inciting them to acts of violence . The witness said guns were afterwards discharged , but behind the house . After the evidence of several
policemen had been guen as to what M'Douall bad uttered , Mr Newton , deputy-constable of Ashton , produced the placard calling the mpeting in the Charlestown Meeting House . In consequence o £ the placard he thought it his duty to attend the meeting . Had been to the chapel before , and was not prevented . It said , { admission , one penny . ' He did not offer money , because they did not allow him to enter s , o far as where the money was taken . The meeting purported to be a lecture . They prevented hiB entrance by force , and said neither he nor any other constable could go in . He said it was not ' Mr Newton they refused admission to but the special constable . ' M'Douall afterwards
came , and was allowed to go in , and he attempted after that to co , but was again refused admission . Saw no one refused but the constables and a Jittle boy . There have been various other meetings of the Chartists out of doors , but he had not attended any in-door ones . Was of belief the inhabitant * were alarmed , and had been told by them if a stop was not put to these meetings , there would be a bad result before long . They had a tendency to induce people to organise and arm themselves . Was also tolu last night that if ' we had gone to the meeting , we should certainly have lost our lives . ' He appreheDded the prisoner this morning , and showed him the warrant produced , charging him
with unlawful assembling , sedition , and riot . Rea 4 it over to him afterwards at the office . He said the warrant was illegal , on account of erasures and alterations , and insisted that it should be produced ia the same state , and it was . Amongat the articles taken from his pocket was a pocket-book . There are dates which start with ' Manchester , July 2 : * it has the namea of twenty towns ; it appears to be a list of engagements , partly fulfilled and partly to be fulfilled . There was a song from the Irish Felon rn it . There were no love letters ; Mr M'Douall told him which were love letters , and those were returned . Among the letters was one dated ' Thomasstreet , Bradford , July 14 , ' which said tbat a person
named William Bateman had been apprehended ; that had been a drill-master , to whom they had given money to keep away , but . be had delivered himself up . There were other letters also . Cross , examined by Mr Roberts : —Went to the chapel to hear the lecture . Went for the purpose of giving evidence if he heard anything seditious . Sent his officers for the same purpose . Supposed he was not admitted because tbe parties did net like it . Was not bound to answer the question when the information on which the prisoner was taken was laid . The warrant was placed in his hands on Saturday . — Re-examined : Recollected a meeting some time since to appoint a deputy to the National
Convention , and M'Douall was appointed . Had net seen him attend any other meeting since till the present . By Mr Roberts .- —The fear of the inhabitants was not only against out-door meetings but secret indoor meetings . Had heard there were several hundred pikes produced . One person was pricked , and it was thought it would have been fatal . —By the Mayor : Had never been refused to attend publichouse meetings , but bad been told that he would bo in future . This concluded the case , and Mr Roberts , the attorney who bad Cross-examined the witnesses , said M'Douall himself would ad ress the magistrates . M'Douall then spoke for upwards of half-an-hour , denying that he had urged violence , but said he had expressly cautioned the people against it .
The withesses for the defence contradicted in general terms tbe evidence for the prosecution , so far as tbe language of . the prisoner was said to be violent and seditious . The witnesses were poor working men , and they admitted that many of the sentences taken down by the police were like , or something like , what was said . He had told them to organise in classes , like the methodists , but they denied that he said anything about drilling , or practising the same drill as the enemy . —f he magistrates , after a short consultation , decided to commit M'Douall for trial , at the Liverpool Assizes , for sedition , unlawful assemblages , and rioting . —M'Douall asked if bail would be accepted , and the mayor said two sureties of JC 15 U each , and his own in JG 300 , would be taken . Four
bonctmen for £ 7 & each were afterwards tendered , and their bailaccepted . The prisoner , however , was cautioned that if . he addressed the out-door meeting which it was reported he had promised to attend that evening in the event of being set at liberty , he would forfeit his bail in case of a breach of the peace resulting . —M'Douall asked il he might address the people outside , and request them to go quietly famine . The magistrates declined to take the responsibility of advising him any way . —On appearing outside the hall , on the steps , he was recognised , and loudly cheered . He advised the people , for their own safety and that of parties . who were bound for his appearance at the assizes , to disperse quietly and at once , advice which they aim oat immediately acted upon .
