Were it hot 80 , that party would allow the working class tho right that God gave them to the possession of the millions of acres of land laying idle in this kingdom to enable them to obtain by their own industry the
necessaries of life and a happy existence ; "Were it not so , it would equitably arrange all machinerv that supersedes manual labour , to become national property for the benefit of all ; thereby destroying the baneful effects of monopoly and competition which , are hastening the ruin of oiir employers and bringing the working class tobecomo paupers , convicted felons , prostitutes , and wholesale butchers of the human , family . Fellow Toilers , we earnestly call on you individuall y to come forward while a glimmering ray of hope still shines , to assist the above association in securing , by means of public lectures and extensive circulation of political addresses and tracts , the co-operation of the whole of the working class to obtain Manhood Saffra » e Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament , Payment of Members , and Equal Electoral Districts , as the only means and way whereby we can obtain a humane and just government to work out our political redemption .

He had been subjected to great annoyance both from policemen and his brother tradesmen for executing the monument , and the Committee were aware , that after many interviews with the Directors , they refused
Dormission to allow the inscription to be placed upon the monument , informing him that the matter had been laid before persons high in authority . He advised a private application to Mr . Brownlow who was an influential member of the board , ' Mr . A . Holyoake was opposed to the matter being quietly hushed up by means of any private influence . He thought there must be either neglect or connivance on the part of the Directors , and concluded by moving the following resolution - " That this meeting request the Chairman to write to the Directors of the Victoria Park Cemetery informing their , of their intention to call an aggregate public meeting in the Tower Hamlets , to expose this gross violation of the sanctity of the dead
unless the Directors immediately cause the Cap of Liberty to be replaced , and tho monument restored to its original condition . " Mr . G . Cooper seconded tho resolution , \? hich . Was supported by Messrs . Shaw , Bboomfield . Wheelbr , and others . Mr . Mason stated that he had no doubt that the Gap of Liberty was very offensive to the Directors ; when they objected to the inscription they also objected to the " Cap" being placed on the monument , although tbey ultimately allowed it to be erected . Under these circumstances he feared that they were not" sincere in their efforts to discover the offenders , and that they in some degree connived at it . A public meeting in the neighbourhood
would bring them to their senses . Messrs . Cox and Shatt showed that great violence must have been used to break off the Cap " from the neck of the monument . It was impoflsiblo for it to have been done by one person , without the aid of ropes or some description of machinery ; the stone upon which it rested , weighing several hun > dred weight , was also removed from its position . Mr , Broomfield stated that ho was about purchasing a family grave in the Cemetery , but this would cause him to hesitate , and he had no doubt when exposed it would have a similar eftect upon the public . Tho resolution waa then adopted , and the meeting adjourned until Sunday afternoon next , at three o ' clock , at the Hall , 26 , Golden-lane .

Higginbottom read the following letter from two French ladies , ^ Mrs . Jeanne Deroin and Mr 3 . ; Pauline Roland , who are at present inmates in St . L ' ozari ' s Gaol , Paris : — TO THE POLITICAL RIGHTS UNION OF
THE WOMEN OF SHEFFIELD . Dear Sisters , —Your appeal has resounded inour prison , and filled our soula with inexpressible joy . The women of France would establish a hospitable tribune to welcome thecomplaints of the oppressed and of the suffering , and claim in the name of humanity the soeial righto for women as well as men . This hospitable tribune will claim the right of true liberty and the complete unfolding of all our faculties , one half of which are in woman — She must , therefore be emancipated . Without this no social work can booomplete .

Because the storm , in overthrowing the throne and the soaffold-in breaking the chain of the black slave , had forgotten to break also tho chain of the i Woman , —thiB pariah of humanityfor after , as before the revolution , she is nothing , and can do nothing of herself ; she is not reckoned as a member of society ; she is without a name and country . Her name ? It is the name of her mas . ter , of the father , or tho husband . Her country ? Whether she be born oh the banks of the Ganges , the Thames , or of the Seine , it is the country of her master ; for she ever bears the law imposed on her by man .
. "Ja eve are no more s ! aves ! " said our brothers m 1 ° 48- All will have the right of electing deputies , &c . On hearing this appeal , Woman arises to exercise her ri ght , but tho barrier of privilege interposes and says— " You must wait . " And soon , indeed , on the fatal days of June , 1848 , liberty glides away from her pedestal in the blood of the vietims of the reaction .

THE MURDER IN BELGIUM . At the sitting which followed that with which our last account terminated the Court was chiefly occupied . with hearing the depositions of the official personages concerned in getting up the case in the ftrst instance , and nothing material was elicited beyond what has appeared in the deed of accusation . An attorney of the name of Cherquefosse was also heard , and several small tradesmen , whose evidence tended to . show the Comte de Bocarme ' s irregularity in money matters . The first mentioned witness stated that he called at the Chateau de Bitremont on the 21 at of November , and was informed by Madame de Bocarme that her brother-in-law had
fallen down after dinner in a fit of apoplexy , crying , " Help , Hippolyte ' . " and . tbat her husband ,-intry-: mg to hold him up , had fallen •¦ with him ' . The Comte de Bocarme showed him the mark of a bite on his finger , and asked whether he ought to conceal it from the magistrates . This witness , who appeared to be a very , weak-minded person , accompanied his testimony with such absurd details as to repeatedly provoke the laughter ot the auditors . On the following day ( Friday ) the first witness heard was Justine Hirbaut , aged eighteen , who had served as nurserymaid to tho children of the accused . She Btated that on the day of the alleged murder she had been told ( she believed by her master ) not to bring the children in to dessert .
She was at the bottom of the stairs when she heard M . Gustavo in the dining room cry out "Aie ! Me ! Ilippolyte , pardon ! " and afterwards she saw Madame de Bocarme come out . of tho dining room into the pantry . The cries were like those of a person being stifled , and several minutes elapsed after she heard them before Madame de Bocarme came into the pantry . —On being asked by the President -what she had to say to this statement of the witness , Madame de Bocarme replied that it was an error . Had she been in the dining room when the cries were uttered she would have said so . It was all the same . ( Here the accused shed tears . ) —President ( to the witness ) . Bo you persist in your statement ?—Yes ,. sir , —You hear?—This girl
was bo frightened that she may well be mistaken . — There was , indeed , wherewithal to frighten her . They were the cries of a man being ¦ etiiied , as she says ,, and you know what that means ?—She is mistaken . —The witness states that you came into the pantry at the time when the cries were already heard ?—No , sir . ( The accused sobbed . )—The witness went on to relate the orders that had been given with respect to the body . That it should be washed with vinegav , aiu \ that vinegar should be poured into the mouth . On being asked whether Madame de Bocarme had asked what she would say before tho authorities the witness replied , '' Yes , I said that I would say tho truth , and that I would say that M . Gustavo had cried outMe . die
, , Ilippolylc , pardon . I also said that I would declare that the doors had been shut against us after the death of M . Gustave . Then Madame said to me , " How foolish you are to declare that . Little things are made great ones of , and you will have thrown me into prison and yourself too . —President : Accused , what have you to reply ? Nothin « . What the witness states is the truth , then ? ( After a pause . ) It is true tbat I had the doors closed after the death of Gustave , but that was because I did not wiah that a crime ; should be suspected . The witness was subsequently asked whether the Count had not made improper proposals to her and used immodest language ; to which she replied in the affirmative . The answer of the accused to this
statement was , " It is possible I may have wished to make a trial of the girl ' s morality . " The next witness , Charlotte Monohardet , who had also been in the service of the accused , corroborated certain parts of the former witness ' s statements . She stated that Madame de Bocarme had come into the kitchen to wash her hands shortly after she had asked for hot water . The soap she used was black , soap . President : Lydia Fougnics , why did you wash your hands ? Wore your hands dirty ?—No , Sir . Was it not after , throwing . away tho two phials which your husband told you to throw away ?—I do not remember well ; I had not washed my hands . Gilles Yandenburgh deposed that he was
coachman , in the service of the Comte de Bocarme . The Count came into tho kitohen and ordered him to prepare the cabriolet for M . GuBtnvo .

He was further of opinion that after taking nicotine it would bo impossible for any one to walk ,, but he could not say that they might not cry .- J
A witness then deposed to having taken aeons * , derable quantity of tobacco to the- chateau , and » labourer , named Debliquy , staled that he had assisted the Count m making nicotine and other chemical operations . The Countess de Bocavme was so affected at the details of the chemical operations on tho person of deceased made by M . Stas , that she became indisposed , and the trial had to bo suspended for somfr time . Do IJoearme paid great attontion to tho evidence . It will be observed that it tended to destroy his means of defence—viz ., that the nicotine had been poured out and taken by mistake . In the sitting , on Tuesday , Dr . Zoudo , a physician of Tom-Hay , deposed that he had examined tho body of tho deceased in the chateau of Bitremont on the 22 nd November , and . had been struck by tho primes and scratches on the face , and by the burnings , by what appeared to bo suluhurio acid , .-ilimifc
the mouth . Ho had afterwards made an examination of the tongue , stomach , and other parts of deceased s person , and tho result at which ha had arrived was , that deceased had been poisoned , and that jho poison had been forcibly administered when he was in a horizontal position . He had also ' examined Count de Boc . ivmc , and had noticed scratches on his hand , and thatmarlcsof a bite were on one of his fingers . In answer to the advocate of tho female prisoner , witness stated that it was possible , as deceased was a weak man , with only one leg , that the poison had been forcibly administered by only one person ; th » person administering it had evidently placed one knee on him and the other on the ground , and that was why a bruise had been noticed on one of the Count s knees .
Dr . Mabouzh , of Tournar , modical attendant to deceased , stated that he had also examined the body , and that his opinion was that death had beea caused by poison forcibly administered when deceased was lying on tho ground . Witness bad never observed that the Countess had shown much' affection "; for her brother ; on tho contrary , she seemed very indifferent to him . Deceased ' s father had declared on his death-bed that he had been poisoned , but that was because he had . taken an overdose of a very violent remedy prescribed by a French physician . Four witnesses were then called on behalf of the Countess ; their evidence was to the effect that she had always shown affection to her brother , and that immediately after being arrested , she , whilst weepmg . bitterly , had said that it was her husband who had knocked down deceased and forced the poison into his mouth .
The Procuiieur du Roi then proceeded to present his requisitory . ne began by remarking on the enormity of the crime , on the vile motive whtch caused it , on the base cowardice with which it was planned and executed . He maintained that it had long been premeditated by both the accused . He denounced the Count as a vile swindler and oneat , as an infamous debauche , as a brutal coward and us a monstrous hypocrite ; and his wile as a vain frivolous creature , without real affection for any one . Ho then entered into an elaborate exammattonofthefactsof the case , and argued that they fully proved the cool and deliberate perpetration ot a carefully planned murder by both tho accused . t T {> e ProcureurdeRoihad not concluded when the Court rose .

The Late Fatal Boiler . Explosion kt K \ soswood . —The fears entertained on Tuesday that tha old man , John Burchell , would not survive the injuries he had received , was unhappily realised tbo same evening , when tho unfortunate man breathed his last , and made the eighth victim of the latal occurrence . Tho coroner ' s inquest was resumed on Thursday , at the Rose and Crown Tavern , St . George ' s . —Samuel Osborno deposed that he had been employed at Mr . Braino ' s colliery for fourteen or fifteen years . On Saturday morning , at about half-past four o ' clock , he was at the Starveall pit . The men wero there earlier that morning , as they were getting ready to put in a new boiler . Joha Burchell , who is dead , w as tho engiucmanand
, drove the engine . Witness asked him when ho got to tho works , whether ho had not got all his coal , up so that the men might go to work preparing for the putting up of the boiler . He said he had not . and he should not have done it befoie twelvo o ' clock . Witness then told him that the boiler was out of gauge , and that tho men had better go to tho deep pit , and come up there , and that ho had better leave off at once . He said , ves , it was out of gauge , and the water would bo off tha bottom of itin two hours , and it would blow up . — Abraham Golding deposed that he was at tbo pit on the Saturday morning , at half-past four o ' clock ; and was assisting to roll the new boiler towards the pit . Three of the men—Mountain . Ricketts .
and Samuel Bryant—began moving some of the stonework . They had not moved much when the accident occurred , and witness Jound . himself buried under the ruins . Robert Palmer , a mason , was at the pit , and saw Mr . Braine there . Heard him ask the man at tho engine what more ho had to do . He replied to haul . another journey of men up . Mr . Braine told him that he had better blow his steam off , and lot tho men go round to the deep pit , and come up there . Mr . Bi'aine said it was proved that the engineman had aaid that there was little or no water in tha boiler , and that he yet went on for three hours , ne thought tbat would explain the accident . —Mr . Thomas Bush , engineer , Btated that he had listened
to the evidence and examined the boiler . The boiler was in better order than many working boilers , and was of sufficient strength for the pressure used . The accident , ho had no doubt , wag produced by a want of sufficient water . It might have been caused in two ways—first , by the pump injecting , when the eDgineetarted , cold water on to a red-hot bottem ; second , the stroke of the engine at starting might have caused ebullition , and the water being thrown over a heated surface , though , not red-hot , would have suddenly generated a large quantity of steam . Should think the latter the true cause , as the boiler presented no appearance of having been red-hot . The removal of the masonry had nothing to do with the accident . —Mr . Braine exphained that the boiler was removed , not front any apprehension of danger , but because it did not produce as much steam as was required for tho
engine . —Mr . Grace , surgeon , having proved tbat tho deaths of the Bufferers resulted from the explosion , the Coroner summed tip the evidence Se veral witnesses wero examined , and after a short consultation , returned the following verdict "That the deceased parties died from injuries caused by an explosion of steam from the bursting of tb £ boiler of a certain steam-engine , and that the e £ Pl osion was caused b y want of care and attention a tho part of John Burchel ] , the engineer , X ha charge of the Baid engine .

JoHssTKKEi Locauii . —On Tuesday evening last this locality met in the Coflee-room of the Institution . Mr . Dent was called to the chair . Several members were enrolled , and the usual business having been disposed of , the Chairman rose , and briefly stated that they were met to discuss the important subject of" The relative merits of Free Trade and Protection , " and introduced Mr . G . J . Holyoake to open the quo . -tion , who , on rising , said , that be was pleased to see so goodly an audience present , and he would take that opportunity to inform them of the object that the friends had in view in calling those meetings . The committee of this institution had granted the free use of the
room for every Tuesday evening , in order to discuss Tariou 3 topics which pertained to the well-being of the human family , and also to form a locality of the National Char terAssociation , for which they deserved their thanks . It was well known that for a considerable length of-time that institution had held & prominent position in the dissemination of Socialism , and thai it had been looked up to as a model by the various branches in theconntry ; and he . trusted that ere long they should have such a locality es > tablished as would be equally as prominent in the cause of Chartism . —Mr . flolyoake then at considerable length went into the question under discussion and avowed himself an unlimited Free Trader . Mr . A . 'Campbell took the contrary side , and Mr . Swift
havins moved the adjournment of the discussion until Tuesday evening next Jat half-past eight , the meeting separated . Maxchesibb . —On Sunday last , Mr . Thomas Tatters 3 ll , from Burnley , delivered a lecture in the People ' s Institute , Heyrod-street , Ancoats . Mr . Henry Suttall in the chair . Mr . Joshua Gutteridge read from the Northern Star Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , and the address of the Chartist and Land members of Ashton-under-Lyne ; after which the Chairman introduced the lecturer , Mr . Tattersall , who said the subject for consideration was , " The People's Bights and how to get them . " It was somewhat strange to say , after the volumes printed , and the extent of space occupied in the newspapers on the subject , how few understood what they ought to k
now . Mr . Tattersall cited authority from several eminent works on the ori g in of man , and remarked that man did not make himself or' spring from the inferior animals—the word make implies intelligence , and intelligence implies power—tbat he did not spring fromtheiriferior animals , he should recommend any person to read the lectures of Dr . Ling , Man possesses two hands , no other animal does ; he has a super amount of brain ; man can stand upright , which ao other animal does . That God created man hi his own image , and gave him dominion over the fish of the sea , the fowlof the air , the cattle of the earth ; and God gave him herbbearing seed , which is upon the face of all the earth , and every tree yielding fruit , and every beast of the earth . This was the first bill of rights . Mr . Tattersall then described the formation of
society , private property , and governments , and beautifully illustrated the six points of the Charter . He then strongly exhorted his hearers to get know , ledge , as it would be a good step towards getting their rights , and to have more respect for themselves , and less flattery towards other men ; by so doing they would command the respect of others , and prove themselves worthy of the great principles they professed . Let principles lead them and not men , for principle never err , men are liable to err ; let there be no more nonsense , no more worshi p ing of men ; do this , and assuredly the emancipation from political bondage wi ! l not be far distant . Mr . Tattersall resumed his seat amidst the applause of the meeting . Several questions were asked , and replied to by Mr . Tattersall . Mr . Leach proposed , and MrV Sutton seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . Tattersall , which waa unanimously passed .
Manchester Locality . —On Sunday afternoon last , the monthly meeting of the members of this locality was held in the Jersey-street Room—Mr . John Knight in the chair ; and in tho evening of the same day . an address was delivered by Mr . J . 6 . Clark , on the " Present aspect of Chartism , and the duties devolving on Chartists in reference thereto . " Mr . Clark was listened to with great attention , and concluded by advising his audience to adhere to the principles set forth in the People ' s Charter . On Tuesday evening a tea party and ball was held in the Cumberland-street Room . The room was crowded , and beautifully decorated for the occasion with a number of portraits of the most distinguished English , Irish . French , and
Hnnjrarian patriots , and a remarkably elegant new banner with the following inscription in gold letters , — " "Will you endeavour to shackle the mind of man , when God has seen St to make it free ? " After ample justice had been done to the good things provided , and the tables removed , Mr . W . Grocott waB called on to preside , who , after thanking the meeting for the honourable position in which he was placed , begged to remind those present that , as Chartists they had certain duties to perform—one of which was , on all occasions to keep Chartism paramount . He would , therefore , call upon Mr . Joseph Crookes to respond to the first sentiment— " The peoplethe only legitimate source of all power . "—Mr , Crookes adverted to the many stratagems made use
of by tyrannical governments to disunite the people and thus render them powerless , and sat down loudly applauded . —The next sentiment was , " The People ' s Charter and the cause of Democracy , with the whole of the Democrats Press . " —Mr . G . J . Mantle responded , and , in the course of his remarks , passed a high eulogium upon Mr . O'Connor , and the mode in which that gentleman had , both in his writings and speeches , advocated pure and unadulterated Chartism , and denounced , in strong language , the attempts now making to attach obloquy to his name , and supplant him in the affections of the people . Mr . Mantle then referred to the able advocacy of Messrs . Reynolds , Harney , Jones , and others , and concluded amidst enthusiastic cheers . — Dancing then commenced , and was kept up with great spirit * interspersed with patriotic songs and recitations , till five o ' clock on Wednesday morning
