      ( Conelttdedfrm our fifth pagej . decision of eminent judges in similar cases , and he confideatly left tbatpart of the case with the jury , as respected his clients . The learned counsel then proceeded to comment upon the evidence , and contended that the conduct of his clients throughont the whole struggle had shown that they were not wilful or malignant violators of the law—that they had acted within the scope of that statute which was the Magna Chatter of -working men . That in persuading five men to unite , not for an advance hut an assimilation of wages , and an uniform hook of prices ; they were perfectly justified by the law , and that hi 3 lordship himMt had elicited the important fact that no man had been mole 3 ted by them . The evidence also Droved that Ions previous

      to April 1850 , when they first appeared in the matter , an agitation had preVailed in the tin-plate trade for that purpose—that they did not interferei uncal led for ; but , on the contrary , were expressly invited by the members of the tin-plate society con-Eected with their body . Their conduct th" > "gbout from the first letter sent to Mr . Party ' and the other manufacturers had been characterised by no ofien-Bire spirit of dictation ; on the contrary it had been rao 3 t moderate and conciliatory ; but how had they been met by the prosecutors ? George Perry said he was sincere in his desire to pet an uniform book of prices , if it was possible . Edward Perry on the contrary , said he was not sincere , he iraa proud of having deceived them , and chuckled over known insincerity . Edward Perry told them

      that he deliberately went about this business , not only on the principle to deceiTe Peel , Green , and Winters , not only to deceive his own men , but the other masters of the town . Ail that he did was a sham . This man was talked of as a wealthy and respectable manufacturer ; but he ( Mr . Parry ) would rather stand that day in the position of any one of the defendants , than such a man . Bad there been the slightest spirit of truthfulness or conciliation on the part of Edward Perry , they wonld not have been there that day . Bat he could hardly believe that Mr . Perry was hardly so bad as he would represent himself , that it was rather the after thought of aome cunning follow , who had complimented himself how cleverly ho had'done these working men . and that he was not so mean , crafty ,

      and cunning , as he said he was . Had the jury marked how proud he was of hi 3 single metaphor about the pinnacles of the church being the foundation , and its base in the air and other nonsense of that sort ? But taking him on his own showing and granting , that he was not deceiving the jury as he coasted , he had deceived the defendants , the other masters , and even his own brother and father , it would only prove him to be a vulgar , low , cunning-minded man , who consented to do mischief , and after having done it , thanked God he had succeeded . He said that man had so conducted himself there , that he asked the jury to reject his evidence ; there w&ano doubt of his dealing with facts on the basis of that evidence ; but he had interlarded it with a great deal which was not

      evidence . The learned counsel , after commenting rery strongly on the conduct of JUr . E . Perry at the meeting of the masters , aud his proposal to Mr . "Walton to discharge DufBeld to gratify his malignant feelings , said that he would put Mr . "Walton into the box to prove that and other facts denied by Mr . Perry , and he wonld also call the late mayor , to prove the manner in which the defendants had acted , and that Mr . Perry , after applying for the arbitration of the mayor and magistrates , had declined to be hound by their opinion . After commenting on other parts of the evidence , and referring to the conduct of Mr . Perry with reference to the bringing over of French workmen and causing them to enter into agreements wtu < & subjeated them to liabilities and penalties of which as forreigners they could not be expected to know anything ; and contending that the use of the words «• force , and coercive measures "

      in the appeal for an extra levy , issued f > y the Central Commitee , did not mean physical force , but employ the force of public opinion , as mignt be appealed to by Mr . G . F . young or Mr . Cobden . Tie learned counsel said , that the whole conduct of the defendants was opjosed to the idea of force . That they had—and they rested their defence upon that ground—done every thing ' opanly , within the provision of the law ; they believed they were justified by the law ; and if , upon the legal question being tried ia another place , should , t&e decision of the jnry bs against tliein that day , that they were found to have acted illegally , he pledged himself that they would never act in that manner again . He would leave the case with the jury , in the belief that they would deal with it fairly and liberally . It was an important one both to masters and men ; ho hoped—and he Irelieved—that they would hold the scales of justice with an even hand .

      Mr . Kbating followed , in behalf of the defendants Duffield , Woodnorth , and Gaunt , travelling over the the same ground as when he addresssed the jury on their behalf in the previous case . He contended that there was no evedenee worthy of credit to support the counts charging them with having used violence , threats , or intimidation . "Witnesses were called for the defence , as follows : — Mr . P . "VvjllioS examined by Mr . 31 acxamaha . — ifas a tin-plate manufacturer at "Wofaerhampton , and aUo a town councillor . He employed between 201 ' and 300 men . "Was at a meeting at the Swan Inn , TVolverhampton , called by Mr . E . Perry , in April of last year . Mr . 3 . Perry filled the chair . Mr . Perry said there were many obnoxious men in the trade , who oaght to be discharged by the masters , lie proposed to witness that the latter should discharge a workman named G . Duffleld .

      . Mr . Shooibbep , examined by Mr . Parry . —Was a tin-plate manufacturer at Wolverhampton ; employed about 300 wen . Attended the meeting at the * Swan referred to by the last witness , when Mr . E Perry proposed a list of obnoxious men , to be discharged by the different masters , and driven out of town , and never re-employed . The first man bo mentioned was George Duffield . In many points the book of prices proposed by the men was lower than toe prices previously paid by witness . —Crossexamined by Mr . Sergeant Alleh : The only man mentioned by Mr . E . Perry to be discharged was Duffield ; bnt Mr . Perry proposed to form a general liat . .

      Samuel Busn , examined by Mr . Macnamara . — Called , in company with Green and Feel , upon Mr . E . Perry , aB a deputation , in April , 1850 , to talk about the assimilation of prices . They were courteously received by Mr . Perry . Thought Mr . Peel told Mrl Perry they were opposed to strikes . A Tjook of prices had been talked of in the trade for two years and a half . Believed that Mr . Perry complimented Peel and Green on the manner in which they conducted their business . Joh . v Swxxchett corroborated the evidence of the previous witness , as to what passed at the interview of the deputation , of which he was one , ¦ with . Mr . Perry . Mr . Perry said that he had long known what : was going on , and anticipated a strike ; and that he had got some tin kettles to ring them out . Mr . Perry shook hands with Peel , saying it

      was customary to do so before fighting . The same articles for which Mr . Perry ; paid 243 . Mr , Shoolbred paid 31 s . for . 3 . Elliot examined . —Was president of the Wolverhampton Tin-plate Workers' Association , and a member of the United Trades * Association . Messrs , Peel , Green , and Winters were invited to come iovp . to Wolverhampton by the Tin-plate Workers ' Society . They recommended all hired men to fulfil their contracta to the letter . Had never known them to me threats or . intimidation , or to recommend others to do so . Peel first came down in April , when he stayed a fortni g ht . He came again in August or September . . Believed Peel was not at TVolverhampton in July . Peel lodged at the Seven Star 3 , in John-street , and not at the Star , as had been stated for the prosecution . It was always their object to avoid interference with the hired men ; and a placard to that effect was posted up in

      various factories . John Haxd , examined . —Remembered the stri . ee of Mr . Perry ' s hired men in 2 vovember last . Culled the attention of "Winter and Green to the fact , who advised the men to return and fulfil their engagements . Ia consequence of this they did so . Evidence to the same effect having been given by ' other witnesses , Mr . 6 . Kobinson was examined by Mr . Parry . "Wa 3 an attorney . Was mayor of Wolverhampton in 1850 . In October last Mr . E . Perry claimed his

      protection by letter . Witness suggested . the mediation of the magistrates . A meeting was consequently held , at which several magistrates attended , ilr . E . Perry was there , and also witness , Green , and others . Green spoke on behalf of the workmen . So satisfactory arrangement was arrived at . The magistrates gave an opinion , which was not accepted by Mr . Perry . A few days after , Winter or Green requested witness to interfere to prevent Mr . Perry's hired men from breaking their contract .

      G . A . Brisso , a French tin-plate worker , gave evidence through an interpreter . —Witness was engaged by Mr . O . Perry , in Paris , in 1 S 50 . Mr . . Terry spoke to him through an interpreter . Witn ess was told that he might expect to earn from 50 s . to 60 s . a . week . Mr . Perry said he did not want JbYencn hands because his own were on Btrike , but because he had large orders from the colonieB . Mr . . Ferry said he was himself a member of the tinplate worker ' s society at Woherhampton , and repeatedly denied that hia men were on strike . In consequence of these representations witness ongagea several workmen for Mr . Perry . While witness worked for Mr . Perry he earned 25 a . per week of Jifty-nine hours . Witness frequently applied to 3 es ilr . Perry , that he might remonstrate , but without effect . There were eighteen Frenchmen , to Tvhom Mr . Perry lent 2 , 000 francs to come ¦ ever . —Cross-examined by Mr . Sergeant Au . es Firat knew Green when his companion applied for a summons against Mr . Perry . Got the money to

      Untitled Article

      go hack to France from a society to which Green belonged . Green went with them by railway to London . By Mr . Perrt . —The money was to he repaid within one or two years . They were at the time when the money was offered about to apply ' Imp assistance to their ambassador . Mr . Perry still held their passports and " character books , vruhout which they could get no work in France . Claude Lacrsni Fabojcf , also a Frenchman , corroborated the above . He had signed a contract which Mr , Perry told him was merely a form of the country to insure him six moths' work . It was not till afterwards that he was told he would be liable to imprisonment if he broke the contract . W ; i 3 told that he must give six months' notice before he could leave . He left Mr . Perry ' s service of his own free will . Several other Frenchmen gave similar evidence , which closed the case for the defence .

      Sergeant Allbn then addressed the jury in reply . Ho asserted that a conspiracy had commenced with the tettfcT sent from Lonutm &n tne 2 nd of April , to which Peel and the other defendants were parties . He eulogized the conduct of Mr . E . Perry , and called fora verdict upon all the counts of the indictment . The learned Jddgb , in summing Up , uMueti thO counts of the indictment into four classes : about three of which , viz .: —conspiring to leave Mr . Perry ' s service by threats and intimidation ;—conspiriug to intimidate Mr . Perry , and conspiring to induce men by drunkenness to leave Mr . Perry ' s service;—there could be no doubt in point Of IftW ,

      But there was a fourth class upon which a doubt existed—although not in his mind—viz : —conspiring to persuade others to leave . Mr . Perry ' s service . On this class of . counts , he would take the opinion of the jury , if any of the defendants should be acquitted upon the other classes . The learned judge then called the attention of the jury to the evidence of the various witnesses ; summing up favourablyfor Winters and Rowlands , against whom the only fact proved , was paying money to men after they had struck work ; those two defendants , therefore , could come only under the fourth class of counts ; and he had said before against Thomas Pitt no satisfactory evidence had been offered .

      After a few minuteB deliberation , the jury returned a Terdicfc of Guilty on all the ,. counts , although , the judge had directed to the contrary with respeet to Winters and Rowlands . The learned Judge said nothing more could be done there , and the matter now stands till next term . The two indictments occupied the Court during the whole of three days .

      IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ( Concluded from our seventh page ) . THURSDAY , July 31 . HOUSE OF LORDS—The Stock in Trade bill was read a third time and passed . The Charitable Trusts Bill was also read a third time and passed , after some complaints from the Earl ofMALMESBuur as to the late period of the session at which the measure had been introduced . The Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill was read a second time on the motion of the Lobd Chancellor .

      A discussion then took place as to the contmuance of metropolitan interments , in which the Board of Health was defended by the BarlofSHAFXESBUKY and the Earl of

      Carlisle . A return of the reports of inspectors of collieries during the last year was ordered to be laid before the house on the motion of Lord Whabnclic te . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , in reply to Mr . OSBORNE , who in « timated that there had been some misunderstanding upon this point , The Chancellor of the Exchequer repeated , in fuller and more explicit terms than he had used on Tuesday , his Statement respecting the Crystal Palace . Whether the Commissioners were at liberty , under the terms of the memorandum , to apply any

      portion of the surplus in their hands to the purposes of a winter-garden he thought very doubtful ; whether , if they had the power , they had the inclination , he could not say . If they were unable or unwilling , the public could only purchase the building for a sum which mignt probably amount to , 670 , 000 . Then to put it in a fit state for permanent preservation would cost a considerable sum , and there must be an annual outlay for keeping it in repair . So much for the building . In addition to this expenditure , there must be a certain outlay for the winter garden itself , and then there was the cost of maintaining it . These five charges must fall upon the public .

      The Metropolitan Sewers Bill was read a third time and passed , after a protest from Sir B , Hall and Mr . Wakley . The Metropolitan Interment Bill went through committee , not without a divisioa upon its merits . The House then went into committee upon the remaining clauses of the Petty Sessions ( Ireland ) Bill , and , after a protracted discussion upon the tenth clause , the Chairman reported progress , to Bit again in the erening , the Chancellor of theExcHBQCBH consenting to abandon that portion of the clause which gave new powers to a single magistrate . At the evening sitting , on the order for the second reading of the Episcopal aud Capitular Estates Management ( No . 2 ) Bill ,

      Colonel Sibxhobp objected to the further progress of the bill this session and moved that the third reading be deferred for three months . SirB . Hall called for some explanation respecting this bill , and thought that the house should have time to consider the manner in which the interests of leases were proposed to be dealt with . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said ,

      a bill which had been introduced in the other house by Lord Carlisle had been referred to a Select Committee in the House of Lords , who had come to the conclusion that it was not dearable to proceed with that bill , and had recommended this measure , which was permissive only , providing for the possibility of getting rid of the objectionable system of renewals of finable leases subject to the check of the Ecclesiastioal Estate Commissioners .

      A prolonged discussion was closed by a division , when there appeared—Forthe second reading 45 Against it 34—11 Some further discussion ensued , after which the bill was ordered for committal on Friday . Several other bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned at half-past twelve .

      THn Accursed Poor Liw . —A correspondent informs us that application was lately made to a guardian of the Billingsgate . "Ward for relief for a poor man , his wife , and four children , who were all suffering from English cholera . The relieving officer visited tbis sick family , and allowed them sixpence per day—a penny per day for the sustenance of each individual . The parish doctor says they want nourishment , but where ( asks our correspondent ) is it to come from , out of sixpence per day ? The man is a freeman and liveryman of the city , and has resided in the parish twelve yearB . The docks for shipping and the railroads are taking the work from the labouring men along the waterside , and they are driven to desperation when they think of parish relief . The only remedy for this state of things is union for the obtainment of the suffrage , which would give the working classes the power of making laws for the protection of their

      own interests . Police Intimidations . —Wealthy politicians may avow the most extreme opinions on matters Of g e " nasal , government , and yet escape the meshes of the law , but if an association of the unenfranchised be formed for the purpose of educating themselves by means of lectures , discussions , die , their schoolrooms are entered by the police , and the landlords are threatened witu the loss of their license . A number of working men , calling themselves the Washington locality of the National Charter Association , have been shut out of four meeting rooms in the parishes of St . Fancras and St . Marylebone within the last few months , tbrough the police intimidating the landlords , and also threatening

      them with the suspension of their licenses . As the law compels tradesmen to part with their customers , the law ought to pay their rent and taxes , otherwise it is indirect legal robbery . We would ask the privileged classes , and the whole British peopl ©; how such conduct squares with the law , after the mosteminent judges of the land have declared their willingness to sanction the fullest expression of opinion upon questions speculative , or practical , relating to morals , politics , or science —to things known of this world , or things supposed of in another—provided always such opinions are expressed in a calm , truthful , and argumentative

      temper . If this means anything it means .. the legality of expressing our opinions on the usefulness and abuses of the laws , and institutions of this or any other country , and to point out a remedy ^ founded on justice to all . The-People ' s Charter , accompanied with a knowledge of social rights , is our remedy . We seek that knowledge through leetures , readings , and discussions . All good men will agree with Sir Ashley Cooper , who Bairt , " Let but the search go freely on , and the right measure of justice will soon be found .

      TACTS AfiD IECIDEim O ¥ THE GREAT EXHIBITION . On Saturday £ 1 , 478 was taken at the doors , the number of visitors being 10 , 399 . The Exhibition . —The last arrival wa 8 on Saturday , when , in addition to its numerous attractions , were added three elephants' tusks , from Southern Africa . Their dimensions are eight feet six inches long , and twenty-two inches in circumference , and weighing 1 G 4 pounds each . They are the property of an English gentleman who resided in that quarter for the last twenty-five years , and only arrived in town a few days ago , per Bosphorous , steamer , ex-Cape of Good Hope .

      The tusks were brought from the immediate vicinity of the great lake . lately discovered in Southern Africa , and will for some time be a matter of great speculation amongst naturalists and scientific men , as to the age and size of the animals to whom these monster tusks could belong , On Monday £ 3 , 194 13 s . was taken at the doors , and 67 , 110 persona entered the building . Of these a large party came from the town and neighbourhood of Reading , They came by the South Western Railway , and marched in procession from the Waterloo Station , to Hyde-park , headed by a band of music aEd rendered conspicuous by a profusion of banners .

      The eclipse of the sun seems to have inspired the Executive Committee with formidable apprehensions of the diminution of light which was likely to take place in consequence . From an impression , that the 67 , 000 visitors who flocked there would have to grope their way through a darkness hardly visible , they had all the gas lamps in the interior put in requisition . Some amusement was caused by this excessive amount of precaution for a great transparency like Mr . Paxton ' s Palace of glass . On Tuesday , 68 , 496 persons visited the building , and £ 3 , 281 10 s . was the amount of money taken at the doors . By the sale of season tickets jSG'Cs . was realised . ~ " ' ' ' ¦' . '

      Oa Wednesday the receipts at the tloors of tile building anionBted to £ 2 , 835 6 s . » and tlie number of visitors , according to the police returns , was 5 S . 382 . The Times has the following : — " We understand that the price of season tickets if , reduced fr « m £ 3 and £ . 2 , to 30 a . and £ 1 , and that the Commission have COUie to a resolution by which the sale of those tickets ceases on the 31 st of August . Ajs we recommended a few days ago , the five shilling entrance fee on Saturdays is to be reduced immediately after the prorogation of Parliament to two shillings and sixnence , but the immense crowds that still flock to the Exhibition on the shilling days renders it in the meantime impracticable , in the view of the Commission , to adopt measures for admitting a larger proportion of the humbler classes than now find their way into the Crystal Palace . "

      On Thursday the number of persons who entered the building was 57 , 840 , am ' , the receipts at the doors amounted to £ 2 , 800 IQs . A serious question has arisen as to the period at which the Exhibition should close . On the one hand , exhibitors from Russia and the Northern States of Germany are anxious to har « the power of removing their goods after the end of September as if the Crystal Palace remains open till the middle or end of October , the winter frosts will have set in before they can possibly have them conveyed back to their respective countries <> n tae other hand , the French are desirous to have the final closing delayed as long as is practicable .

      WESTMINSTER . —Sir J . Sutherland M'Kenzie , whose name , under very unenviable circumstances , has of late been repeatedly before the public , and who was committed from this court on the 12 th of June , in default of finding sureties for his good behaviour , and has ever since been in custody , was discharged upon entering into his own recognizance of £ 200 to keep the peace . THAMES . — -Charge of Mubdkr James Wolfe , a labourer , about thirty yeav 3 of age , was charged with being concerned , with others not in custody , in the wilful murder of Thomas Dowd , a tailor , at Newport , Monmouthshire . Sergeant Kelly , by whom—with Sergeant Foay—the prisoner was brought up , stated that being aware a man had

      been murdered at Newport about two months since , he instituted inquiries , and from information he hud received , he went about one o ' clock in the afternoon on Sunday , to a house in Parson ' s-court , Rosemary-lnne , where Be took the prisoner into custody , telling him the charge . He admitted that his name was Wolfe , and that he hgd been present at the case alluded to , but said he had taken no part in the transaction , as the blow was struck by a man oained Murphy . The sergeant then told him that the superintendent of the Monmouth police had been over to Ireland to look for him , on which he replied that he was aware of that fact . Kelly then called Ellen Lee , who said she had known the de * ceased man Dowd , who lived close by her at Newport about two months since . She saw him alive

      in the street going to work the day before his death , but was not present when he was killed . — -Prisoner She knows nothing about it . I will tell you all if you like to listen . —In answer to Mr . Yardley , the witness said she had not seen the prisoner after the murder until Sunday last nor had she inquired after him . —Prisoner : Let me speak , and I will tell all about it . —Mr . Yardley : I must caution you that there is no evidence as yet against you . To Sergeant Kelly : You had better take tho man back and consult with your superintendent as to the course you had better pursue , for as the case stands I have no evidence before me under Sir John Jervis ' s Act , either to remand him or send him to Monmouthshire . —The prisoner was then taken away in custody , and it was subsequently

      understood that he was to be sent down to Monmouthshire , under charge of Sergeant Kelly . > SOUTH WARK . —Extessivb Robbery . —Sarah Frances Winter , a middle aged respectable looking woman , was brought before Mr . Seeker , at the close of the court , charged with having in her possession a box containing 200 sovereigns , a valuable go \ d watob and chain , two gold rings , fifteen silk handkerchiefs , and a large quantity of blaok spun silk , supposed to have been stolen from one of the railway companies near the metropolis . —Rebecca Sergeant said she wan the wife of one of the officials connected with the Eastern Counties Railway at Stratford . Her husband kept a house at West Ham , and the prisoner ' s brother , who was employed on the railway , lodged with them . A few days ago the

      prisoner came to lodge with her , and on Sunday morning , while her brother was absent on duty , the prisoner showed her a handsome gold watch and chain , and entered her brother ' s room . When she came out she told witness that she was compelled to leave suddenly , as something had happened which made her uneasy ; that she had left the watch and other property for her brother , and that as soonas he came home she hoped witness would send him after her . She left the iiouse a little after eleven o ' clock in the morning , but her brother did not return home till eleven at night . As soon as he entered the house she informed him that his sister had suddenly quitted the house , but she had left a gold watch and other property for him . The brother seemed astounded , and exclaimed "his sister could have no gold watch to give him , and whatever property ahe has left for me you must come and look at it with me , as I will have nothing to do with her or her property . " Shortly

      afterwards they entered hia room , and found the gold watch , two hundred sovereigns , and other property , when a police constable was called in to take charge of them . —Prisoner : I did not intend to give the watch to my brother . I said my brother was to keep it in use until my husband came home . I dare not give it away . —Sergeant John . William Manning , of the Stratford police , informed the magistrate that he had been to the South-Western Railway Company , and had ascertained that tho prisoner ' s ; husband was discharged on account of an immense quantify of silk having been lost on the line , and suspicion was attached to him . He had every reason to believe tliat in a few days some further clue would be obtained which would show that the property found waa the produce of the plunder , and that he should be authorised to apprehend the husband . —Mr . Seeker said , that , according to the sergeant ' s evidence , the case was one for investigation at the Lambeth Police-court , therefore lie should remand the prisoner to gaol .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Embezzlement . — James Jones was brought up for final examination charged with having embezzled large sums of money , the property of his employer , Mons .

MAMLEBOXE . —Robbery by a Servant .-A young man named Charles Dandy , a footman in the service of Frederick Dufaur , Esq ., a solicitor , residing in Queen Anne-street , Cavendish-square , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , for re-examination , on the Charge of having stolen a gold watch , chain , an eye-glass , and two gold rings , belonging to his mistress . —The prisoner , who upon the first inquiry admitted his guilt , and said that he

      wished to be sent out of the country , had nothing further to say , and he was fully committed for trial , MANSIOJf-HOUSE . —Pubiic-hoi / se Bobbery . — Geo . Thomas was brought up , charged with having been concerned , with other persons , in robbing Mr . Schersugev , the proprietor of the Horse and Trumpeter public-house , in Crutched-friars , of a cash-box containing £ 60 , and some prize-money . The caso presented one of the numerous instances which have lately occurred in which the movements of the people in the bar have been narrowly watched for some days , and opportunities cleverly taken of engaging their attention—The prisoner had been in the habit of going to tu 8 house for the last seven or eight days in the morning , and stopping for a short time , and he always sat
