Lord I 5 GESTKE gave notice that he should on Tuesday call the attention of tbe House to the sailing ol the Jfiger expedition . Mr . Toi Mawib gave notice that the Lord Adroeate would on Tuesday more for leave to bring in a H 1 I to Amend the Registration of Voters in Scotland . Mr . Io . bot : cheb . k , in answer to a question from Mr . Grote , -whether he entertained a cope of the probable and speedy conclusion of the arrangemements between the Governments of France and this country , and a reduction of the duty on wines and spirits consequent thereupon , stated that under erdinary circumstances he ¦ would hare felt it his duty to urge upon the French Government the speedy settlement of the question , and he certainly should haTe dene so but for the motives which would suggest themselves to the House . He trusted , however , to be able in a short time to giTe a distinct answer . '
Sir Edwabd Scgdes , in consequence of some abaern&ons made by Iiord John Russell , respecting the indisposition of the Lord ChsnoeUor , consented to the postponement of the discussion - of the Administration of Justice ( No . 2 ) BUI , till the motion for going into committee . The Report of the committee on Customs Duties having been brought up , y Mr . 0 Cornell gave the measure bis most cordial ¦ tpport , but it . was calculated , he thought , to do much inor * good to Enfbvnd than to India . The Honourable and Learned Gentleman complained of the insecurity of title of the cultivators of India to their lands , -which vas attended with the most horrible consequences ; and he entered into & detail of the various famines in India since the establishment of our empire there by Lord Oive , in 17 « 0 .
Mr . HOGS observed th&t the discussion opened by the Hon . and Learned Gentleman would occupy more time than could be afforded en that - occasion . The permanent settlement of the Marquis of Comwallis had not been productive of ail the good expected from it The statements of famines were exaggerated . Mr . Hche observed that it was not true that so many famines had taken place in India as his Hon . and Learned Friend had mentioned . The subject of tenures m one of great difficulty . Mr . Ewabt conceived that the measure would be beneficial to India as well as to England . In answer to a question from Mr . Goulburn , Mr . Labocoheke said the object contemplated by ike present Bill was to place the rum of the East Indies en the footing on which the rum of the West Indies stood , and not to touch the duties on rum imported into Ireland and Scotland , as distinguished from the duties on . rum imported into England .
The report was received , aad a Bill founded on it ordered to be brought in . The report of the Committee on her Majesty ' s message respecting Lord Keane was brought up and agreed to . Mr . Ewabt gave notice that in committee he should move that the pension be granted to Lord Keane for life only . Mr . HritB should support the motion of his Hon . Friend ( Mr . Ewart ) in committee ; and referring to a correspondence between the Government and the Court of Directors , in which the latter had expressed an opinion that Lord Keane was already amply rewarded , thought they should either havea copv . of the correspondence or a denial of the fact '
Lord Johx Russell , with regard to any communia&on with the Court of Directors , would only say , thai the substance of it was totally different from what the Honourable Gentleman seemed to suppose . Ths Di-BBctor * did not give an opinion th&t Lord Keane had already been amply rewarded , bnt declared that they thought it most just that an application should be made to Parliament . Mr . Etjie said his question had been misunderstood . He wished to know whether an application had been made to the Court of Directors , -and whether they did not refuse to accede to it Mi Hogg said the Directors had expressed in the Strongest terms their opinion ot the -merits ot Lot& Xe&ne , but thought that as his servjses . aad been recognised by th » British Parliament , the pension should be conferred by the British House of Commons . The report -was then received .
The Administration of Justice Bills { "Sot . 1 and 2 , ) voe read a second time , and ordered to be committed go Monday next The Court of Exchequer ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . Lord Eliot brought in a Bill to enable rate-payers to-spread the expence of building county bridges ever a number of years , which was read a first time , and ordered to be read a second time on the 1 st of March xttxt Ths East India Rum Duty Bin was brought in , Bad a first time , asd the second reading axed for Eridsy next Tuesday , Feb . 16 . Tie Danish claims , as they are usually termed , were onoe more brought under the consideration of the House , by Mr . Creaswell , in the shape of an address to the Crown , for compensation . A discussion of some laigth Voci place .
On a division , the motion of Mr . Cresswell , for compeojatioB , -iras carried by a majority of 127 to S 6 . , Mr . Rjch brougkt forward his motion for a bill to prohibit the public execution of riminals , and to pro-Tide for theii exeeutien within the gaols in which they may be confined , before duly appointed authorities , and a limited number of witnesses , consisting of the ordinary officers who bad to carry out the sentence of the law , the inspector of the prisons " of the- district , a limited number of the friends of the culprit , the genttexnen of the press , and the prisoners in the gaol , ic . General Johxstosb bad no apprehension that this bOl , if brought in , would pass into a law , for there was too much sense in both Houses of Parliament to admit , for a moment , the principle of secret execution . He should oppose the bill , as founded upon a principle which could never be entertained by Englishmen .
Mr . Ewast opposed the bill on the same ground , and also because it would remove one of the grounds for the abolition of the punishment of death . Mr . F . Macle opposed it , and Mr . " Hume suggested that the Honourable Member had better ¦ withdraw a motion which was manifestly against the general feeling of the House , whatever might be their opinions of ths demoralising effescts of public fcecutaons . Mr Rich then withdrew his motion . Mr . M . Philips moved for the appointment of a elect committee to inquire into the operation of the gristing laws affecting the exportation of machinery . The object of this motion was to enable the manufacturer ! of machinery to export it to any foreign country , the PT"Hng law prohibiting exportation , exoept with ¦ fce consent of the Privy Council
The motion was supported by Mr . E . Tennent , Mr . Hume , ilr . Morrison , ilr . Ewsxt , and a great number of other Honourable Members , and opposed by no one . Mi . Sheil , on the part of the Board of Trade , gave assent v > the proposition , which was accordingly agreed to .

PUBLIC MEETING TO PETITION FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF ilR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Thursday night week a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Hercules Buildings , Lambeih , to petition tae Legislature for the immediate release uf Mr . H . Hetherington , confined in the Marshalsea , for foui aonths , for selliug " Haslam ' s Letters , " which have teen termed , by the law officers of the Crown , a blasphemoM publication . At eight o'clock the hall waa densely crowded ; but it was half-past eight before the chair was tafcen by J . Edwards , Esq ., who was wpported on the right and left by seTeral highlyinfluential persons , connected with the Borough of Zombeth .
The Cha . ib . ka 5 said that it would be his duty that srening to submit to the meeting a series of resolutions , and a petition to Parliament grounded upon them , for the release of Mr . He Aerington , who had been indigted for blasphemy , before Lord Denm&n and a Special taxi , for selling " Haslam ' s Letters to the Clergy of all denominations . " He would not detain them with any observations , but would read the petition , which set lotih " That for the same offence two otfier persons , namely , Mr . Abel Heywood and Mr . John "Cleave , bad been convicted . Mr . Heywood had escaped punishsent but ilr . Cleave underwenta part of his sentence
of imprisonment , and paid a fine . " The petition thsn prayed " that even-handed justice might be dealt out to the publishers of Byron and Shelley ' s -works , by prosecuting them for the publication of books equally as eriminal as those for which Mr . Cleave and Mr . Hethertngton had been convicted . " It also prayed that a Committee of the House of Commons would define blasphemy , in « rder that the public might-be cautioned against iting cuiity of it . After commenting upon the law , as it -was , regarding blasphemy , tbe petition respectfully called upon tke Legislature for the immediate release of Mr . Hetherington . Mr . MedlaSD moved the first resolution , to the efisct that the meeting viewed with deep regret the

proceedings on the part of the Govermment against Mr . Hetherington , who had sot bees treated ik the same manner with others who had been prosecuted by the same Government , for the tame offence . Although no immediate relief might be obtained by the petition , yet be felt satisfied that it would be ultimately service able , by showing that public opinion was opposed to such prosecutions , as they neither forwarded , truth nor justice , sot upheld religion . Mr . Lloyd Joxks seconded the resolution . Twelve months ago , bills were found aj&iost Mr . Heywood , tor selling Haslam's Letters . On that occasion he ( Mr .
Jones ) purchased at Mr . Bancks ' s shop , having over the door the "Crown aad Cushion , " and opened for the sale of religious tracts and Bibles , A copy of " Shelley ' s Poems . " He then sent op bills against Mr . Baneks , for selling such works , and the Grand Jury found the bills . ( Hear , hear , and a laugh . ) What was the result ? The Government was in a hobble , for they could not but prosecute Mr . Banckn But they did no such thing . They informed Mr . Heywood if he pleaded guilty , he should not be sentenced , and thus avoided the alternative » f prosecuting Mr . Baneks .
Mr . Foeman moved the second resolution , to the effect that the public viewed with indignation the attempt of a Liberal Government to revive such prosecutions . He called the attention of the meeting to the law on the subject , and read an extract from Mr . Hethermgton ' s defence , in which Mr . Hetherington , in the words of Jefferson , termed the law under which he was tried , a " Judiciary forgery , " and » " fraudulent mistranslation . " Mr . John Stephens Becondedthe resolution , in a very luminous address .
Mr . John Cleave rose and supported the resolution . He said , that although he was bound over to keep the peace to " our Sovereign Lady the Queen , " he was not under any apprehensions that his recognisance would be estreated for attending that meeting . He attended there solely as being a fellow sufferer ; and as being therefore one who could well describe the circumstances under which Mr . Hetherington was placed . If Henry of Exeter had consulted Henry Hetherington and himself , he thought that they would put him of Exeter in the way of letting the prosecution alone , ( Hear , and laughter . ) As the Tories always feund the Whigs willing tools to do their dirty work , so let them ( the WhigB ) say what they would to the contrary , these prosecutions were at the instance of the H « me Office .
When Mr . Heywood was being prosecuted , Mr . Moxon issued a prospectus , steting that he was republishing Shelley ' s woTks ; and the b # ast of the prospectus was , that the suppressed passages would appear in fulL Of course the rich man could indulge his full meal of blasphemy under gilded » overs ; for those were books not for the poor but for the rich Forsooth the anxiety of Exeter and the Government was for the souls of the poor and net of the rich . It was a monstrous thing to hold a bookseller responsible for the contents of every pamphlet that might be on his shelves , as a tradesman had something else to do besides rummaging them to ascertain their
contents . He considered it an act of gross injustice that , after Mr . Heywood had be « u set at large , and his { Mr . Cleave ' s ) term of imprisonment remitted ( for although they were kind enough to take his £ 20 fine , they did not enforce the full term of his incarceration ) that Mr . Hetherington should be sentenced to four months' imprisonment for the offence of which they had been guilty . Mr . Cleave then described the privations to which he had been subjected in prison , and congratulated himself upon his having passed through so many fiery ordeals of Government prosecutions without a hair of his head being singed , and called upon the meeting to exert their best endeavours to secure the immmediate release of Mr . Hetherington from prison .
Several other speakers addressed the meeting , after which the petition in favour of Mr . Hetherington was adopted . Thanks were voted to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

TRIAL OF THE EARL OF CARDIGAN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS . Tuesday last was the day fixed for the trial of the Earl of Cardigan , on the charge of feloniously shooting at Capt . Harvey Tuckett . The Counsel for the prosecution were the Attorney-General * nd Mr . Waddington , the Solieitor-GeneraJ beiDg absent from indisposition ; and for the noble prisoner , Sir William Follett , Mr . Sergeant Wrangham , and Mr . Adolphus . As a quarter before eleven , Lord Denman entered the House , as Lord High Steward , preceded by the mace , and took his seat on the woolsack . Prayers were then read by the Right R « v . Dr . Sbiittfevvorth , the Bishop of Chichester—being the junior bishop . Pravera havinjt concluded ,
Upon arrival in the Hosse , Garter and Black Rod took their places at the bar , and the Lord Speaker proceeded i& the woolsack , where , being seated , prayers were read . Tbe Clark Assistant of the Parliaments then called over the Lords , beginning with the junior Baron . The Lords haviDg been called , the Clerks of the Crown in Chancery , and in tbe Queen ' s Bench , jointly made three reverences ; and the Clerk of the Cromi in Chancery , on his knae , delivered the Commission to the Lord Speaker , who gave it to the Clerk of the Crown , in the Queen ' s Bench , to read , and both clerks retired with the like ravarentes to
the table . The commission appointing a Lord High Steward being read , Garter and Black Rod , making their reverences to the Throne , proceeded from the bar to the woolsack , where they took their places « n the right hand side of the Lord High Steward in his place , and both holding the staff , presented it upon their ksee 3 to his Lordship ,. when hia Lordship rising , and preceded by tbe Garter and Black Rod , and the Parse Bearer , with reverence to the Throne , took his seat in the chair provided for his Grace on the uppermost step but one of the Throne , and delivered the staff to Black Rod to bold on his right hand , Garter and Purse Bearer standing on his left .
The prisoner , on reaching the bar , made three reverences ; one to his Grace the Lord High Steward , the other to the Peers on each side ; his Grace and all the Peers returning the salute ; the prisoner knelt , and his Grace bade him rise , when he w& 3 conducted to a stool placed for him within the bar . The Lord High Steward then directed proclamation to be again made for silence ; and bis Grace acquainted the prisoner with the charge . The prisoner was then arraigned ; and pleading Not Guilty , proclamation was made by the Sergeantat-Arms for all persons to come forth and give evidence .
His Grace the Lord High Steward , with their Lordships' leave , then removed to his seat at the table , preceded by Garter , Black Rod , and the Purse Bearer , as before , and his Grace being seated , they took their places ; Black Rod sitting on a stool at the corner of the table on his Grace's right hand , and holding the staff ; Garter sitting on a stool on Black Rod ' s right hand , tha Sergeant at the lower end of the table on the same aide , and the Purse Bearer at the upper corner on the left . The prisoner having been arraigned and pleaded * Not guilty , "
Mr . Waddi 5 Gtos opened the pleadiigs , stating that the tirst count of the indictment charged the noble prisoner that he died , on tbe 12 * h September , 1840 , in the parish of Wandsworth , feloniously * hooi at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuekett , with intent to murder him ; the second count charged his Lordehipwith intent to maim and disfignre ; and the third count to do some grievous bodily karm . The Attob-nkt-Geneeal than rose to open the case for the prosecution . He said it was gratifying to think that the charge against the noble person at the bar did not imply any degree of moral turpitude , and if his Lorship were found guilty , the conviction would reflect no discredit on the illustrious order to which he belonged . He had , however ,
been guilty ef a breach of the statute laws of these realms , which , without regard to the position . of the party implicated , their Lordships were bound to respect and enforce . The indictment contained no capital charge , and although a wound was inflicted the prosecutor had very properly restricted the charge to ' firings ! with intent . " The learned gentleman then repeated the counts of the indictment , pointed out the bearing of the law upon each , and said it would be for their lordships to see that the offence charged in the different counts was fnlly established . They would hear the facts of the case stated in evidence . But he would now state to their Lordsaip 3 the substance of that evidence , whieh they would hear in detail from thelipa of the witnesses . On the
12 th of September , the Earl of Cardigan fought a duel with Captain Harvey Tuckett , and wounded him . On that day , two carriages were seen approaching Wimbledon-common , and it was evident to those who noticed then that the preliminaries to a duel were taking place . Tne combatants fired one shot each ineffectually . At the exchange of the second shot Captain Tuckett was wounded , but ( and no man regeiced at it more than the Earl tf Cardigan ) not dangerously . Mr . Dann , the miller , came up , and arrested the Earl of Cardigan , and brought him before a magistrate at Wandiworth . He was committed , and his trial was to take place at the Central Criminal Conrt . The seconds on the occasion of the , duel would in like manner be tried at the Central Criminal Court , and on that aceonnt it would be indecorous on his part , aa
Attorney-General , to call these gentlemen an witnesses on the present trial . It wanld be for their Lordships to decide whether all the counts of theindiettnent would be fully bore out hj evidence . He at onee acquitted the Earl of Cardigan of any unfairness in the duel . Something had been said abont the foratationjof the pistols nsed on that occasion . He had no doubt that when the Noble Earl brought those pistols to the field he expected that one of them might be used sgaiast hii life . He acquitted the Noble Earl in hke nranner of any malice in the proceeding . He firmly delieved that he fought a duel merely to sustain his character as a military officer in the manner in which it appeared to him necessary to sustain it . He would refer next to the legal authorities , by which it appeared to him that any person who would kttl another in a duel , would be guilty of the crime of murder . Hale drew the distinction be-

tween a quarrel suddenly taking p lace » nd decided on the spot , and a ootabat attended with the premeditation which mwk » » deliberate duel . The same distinction is made by Foetexv by Hawkins , and by Blackatone . The Leaned Barrister here quoted extracts from each of the above authorities . He observed that with retard to Lord Ellenborough ' s Aet and the late Act of Queen Vietoria , the words " Attempt to murder" meant an attempt to do that which , if accomplished , would in law &e equivalent to the erim * of murder . The offence of the Earl of Cardigan came , he feared , within the meaning of the phrate . Itoonld hardly be snpposed that the Earl of Cardigan and Captain Harvey Tuckett met accidentally at Wimbledon Common . That a sudden quarrel toak place , which was decided on the
spot . That would hardly be supposed . In the second volume of" Moody ' s Crown Cases / ' page 40 . % ease was reported , in which the question referred to the judges was , whether , in answer to an indictment for shooting at with intent to murder , it would be a sufficient defence that , if death ensued , it would not be murder , but manslaughter . The Learned Judge then decided that such would not be a good defence . Justice Littledale and another Learned Judge were the only dissentients from that judgment . The Earl of Cardigan would have an advantage whi « h Peers before the same tribunal had not on former ooo&sions . He v * ould have the advantage , in consequence of an excellent Act passed by their Lordships a few years ago , whereby the
counsel of the accused party was entitled to address the judicial tribunal in reply to evidence . He was Bture , however , that their LordBhips would , on this occasion , uninfluenced by any degree of eloquence or ingenuity which may be exhibited , sustain the high character as a judicial tribunal which they had so long enjoyed . , Th » mas Hunt Dann , examined by Mr . Waddinsto . t—On the 12 th of September he saw a carriage approaching in the neighbourhood of his mill , on Wimbledon Common . In a short time he observed another carriage . One of tbe gentlemen came ont of the carriage and went to that part of the common which is in Wandsworth parish , and another to that part of it which is in the parish of Putney . Soon atier he saw two gentlemen , of whom his
Lordship the Earl of Cardigan was one , placed at a distance of twelve yards asunder . They fired shots at one another . He then made his way towards them . When he came within about fifteen yards of them they fired again » t each other . They had got freah pistols ; in the mean while he was running up . The two seconds had handed the pistols to them . He found that the gentleman , who as he afterwards ascertained was Captain Tuckett , was wounded . He then went up to the parties , and told one of the the gentlemen that he must consider himself in his custody . That gentleman was the Earl of Cardigan . He took from him a pistol , which he had in his hand . He saw a fifth gentleman , who was wounded . After taking into custody Lord Cardigan , he did the same to the others . He was asked to let the wounded gentleman go into his house . The five gentlemen came . then , to his house . He was
then asked to let the wounded gentleman go home . He did so on receiving the carets of address of the gentlemen . He was not certain which of the two gentlemen who wished to go away gave him the card . Lord Cardigan wa 3 not one of them . One of tha gentlemen wrote something in pencil on the back of the card . In consequence of receiving that card he went to a house in Hamilton Place . That was on September I 3 th . and the number of the house waa 15 . He askea to see Captain Harvey Tuckett . He saw a gentleman whom he had previously seen fighting the duel , and who gave him his card . He took Lord Cardigan , on the 12 th of September , to the station-house in Wandsworth . He gave the pistols to theMnspector there . Earl Cardigan claimed one of them as his . He afterwards s&w the medical gentleman whom he had seen at the duel .
Other witnesses were examined , but their testimony was not important . After which The Attorney General -Baid , " This , my Lords , is the case on the part of the prosecution . " Sir W . FoLLETt—This being the case on the part of the prosecution , I venture to submit to your Lordships that there is no case that calls on the prisoner for an answer . It is an attempt to prove a case without sufficient evidence . Your Lordships w ill observe that in the firet count of the indictment , the prisoner is charged with feloniously and unlawfully intending to snoot at Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett , with a pistol loaded with gunpowder and ba ll , intending thereby , of his malice aforethought , the said Harvey Garnet Tuckett to kill and murder ; in the second count , he is charged with intending to maim and disable the same person ; and in the
third count , with intending to do him some gnavous bodily injury . Now , I apprehend it ib not necessary to state anything to your Lordships in order to show that the prosecutor is bound to prove the Christian and surname of the person against whom the alleged offence is committed , and if he fails in that he fails in the proof of his case . Your Lordships will see that there is no evidence whatever to show that the person against whom the shot waa discharged was Mr . Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuokett . Therefore , I contend that they have entirely failed in an essential part of this prosecution . My Lords , this point is expressly decided in the case of the King v . Robinson , in Holt ' s Reports , in which it is laid down that it is essentially necessary to prove the Christian and surname of the party against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed , and of that there is no proof in the present case .
The Attokney-Gkhekai . insisted that there was enough of evidence to establish tha identity of the Captain Tuckett sworn to by the witnesses as the gentleman Bhot at by the Noble Earl . The Learned Gentleman said , I believe there is no human being who , having heard tbe evidence out of Court , would hes ^ ' ate drawing the inference . I believe that the ' same weight of evidence sufficient to convince a reasonable man out of a Court of Justice , ought to convince a Judge or Judges sitting in a Court of Justice-that that from which the inference is to be drawn is to be received . According to the rules of evidence , would any person out of a Court of Justioe doubt for a moment , that this is the same individual who fought on the 12 th of September . If the
inference would have been drawn out of a Court of Jostice , there was not a scintilla of evidence from whieh it could be drawn . 'This would be a most unsatisfactory conclusion to this trial . Your Lordships will weigh the evidence fairly and deliberately . If you think that this is not the same individual , of course you will say " not guilty upon my honour , " but you will not stop the prosecution upon the objection which must be considered a trivial one . Sir Wm . Follett replied . Strangers were ordered to withdraw , while their Lordships considered the point raised by Sir Wm . Follett . On our return to the House , we understood
their Lordships to have decided the objection valid ; and we found tha Lord High Steward at the Chair putting the question to each Peer—Giilty or not Guilty , e . g . — " John Singleton , Lord Lyadhurst , how says your Lordship , is Hemry Thomas , Earl of Cardigan guilty of this felony whereof he stands indicted , ornot guilty . " Whereupon each Peer , upou his naae being called , rose and placing his right hamd upon his breast , said , " Not Guilty upon my honour , " the only exception to the general rule being the Duke of Cleveland , who said , — " Not Guilty , legally , upon my honour . " After all the Peers had given their verdict , the last of whom was the Duke of Cambridge ,
The Loed High Steward standing on the steps f the Throne himself , said , " Not Guilty , upon my honour . " The Sergeant at Anns said , " Yeoman Usher , call in James Thomas , Earl of Cardigan . " The Noble Earl was then placed outside the Bar , when The Lord High Steward addressed him , said" James Thomas EarJ of Cardigan , you have been indicted for a felony , for whioh you have been tried by your Peers , and I have the satisfaction of declaring to you that their Lordships have proaounced you "Not Guilty" by a unanimous sentence . The number I have not precisely at this moment before me , or I would have been ' glad to have stated it to your Lordship , but their Lordsbipahave unanimously said " Not Guilty . " The Earl of Cardigan then bowed and retired .
The Proclamation dissolving the Commission was then read , and his Grace , the Lord High Steward * standing in front of the Throne , received the Staff from , the Garter King-at-Arms , and the Usher of the Black Rod jointly , held it in both hands and broke it in two , and so t he Commission was diasolved at half-past five o ' clock .

TO THE RADICALS OF ENGLAND , WALES , SCOTLAND , AND IRELAND . Fellow-Chartists , —The fell monster , tyranny , has not only spread miseTy , woe , and destitution throughout the length and breadth of the empire—it has not only rendered the homes of the productive classes cheerless and unhappy , but it has torn from society some of the noblest patriots of the day—men endowed with the most fertile mUds—men whose hearts yearned over the nation ' s ills , and whose bosoms were the receptacles of the sacred flanja of patriotism .
These " nobles of natnre , " having dared lo battle the eomman enemy , and vindicate our inaliaaabJe right * , ¦ were pounced upon fcy corruption ' s host—dragged before interested Judges—tried , not by Jurie * of their peers , but by Juries packed and prejudiced , and , of course , doomed to protracted terms of imprisonment n unhealthy dungeons , which punishment has been , in many cases , and is now being aggravated by insult and contumely , heaped upon them by ignorant but veil-paid Jacks in office . And this , too , in a Christian aountry ! —in a land of Bibles i ! and under the reiga of a monarch denominated the " Defender of the Faith , " the essence of which faith la love , if unconnected with secular power , and allowed to go forth in all its purity .

- We need mot name the Individuals who have thus fallen Into the aemy ' s hands , nor hen detail the treatment , the inhntnan treatment , inflicted upon them . We rejoice that the days of the captivity of some of our fr iend * are nearly terminated . And , at «* ch merges from his prison-houae , lat us receive them again to outranks as men worthy of tbe highest honours that © aa possibly be conferred npan them . Let us bear i * mind that some of these Injured patriot * ate literally ruined in circumstances ; this cannot be repaired by mere votes of thanks or addresses of congratulation . No , something more substantial most be done . It is-for us they hare suffered , and It Is by the advocacy of oar cause that they are now mined men . . .
Of theae , none is more deserving of eur immediate attention than Mr . James Bronterre O'Brien . Mr . O'Brien is a man whose valuable and indefatigable aerviees to tbe cause are too well knairn to require comment He has never deviated from the principles he has so cogently and fearlessly maintained ; but has , at all times and before every grade of politicians , proved himself to be the " poor man ' s guardian . " Shall the services of this sterling patriot—this muter mind—be lost to the world lot want of either popular or pecuniary support The productions of his mind have done , and vet will do , incalculable good . They
are such as oare stamped Ma ehmete * with imperishable honour , and he will be read with pleasure * sd profit by generations yet unborn . Then let not the historian of our age , while engraving the name of O'Brien on the tablet of patriotism , have to record , in connection therewith , the ingratitude of his countrymen . His services must be secured—he is , In himself , a host , and a terror to the tyrants of the earth . Like the brave O'Connor , he is an indispensible link in the Obartist chain , which must be preserved , in order to accelerate the overthrow of corruption and facilitate the establishment of freedom .
We certainly conclude , from the knowledge which the people possess of Mr . O'Brien , and from the effects produced by his mental labour , that a lengthened appeal to the Chartists , on his behalf , is altogether unnecessary . We need only propound our objects to our brethren to Insure their adaption . We state , then , that we are anxious to show the enemies of our weal , that we forget not our friends , and we ore desirous of shewing our suffering friends that we not only know our duty to them , but that we are resolved to perform it . Therefore , we call upon our fellow men to aid us in raising funds sufficient to enable our now incarcerated advocate to commence

PROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , Feb . 18 , Quarter to Seven . City News , and Commercial Review .- —The announcement of an addition to the funded debt , to the extent of six millions—founded on authority usually well informed in such matters—has had the effect of contracting the money market to an . almost inconceivable extent . The prices of English stocks have fluctuated rather largely this week , having at line moment fallen fully one per cent , below the rates of last week . To account for this fall , various rumours were propagated ; but the general belief of well-informed persons is , that 'the true cause may be found in some heavy Bales of
money stock , which assisted the operations of the bears , who commenced buying in their accounts , and realising their profits . The market has since rallied , but not to the point at which the decline commenced . The puWic have lately sold , beyond question , considerably more stock than they have bought , —a circumstance which tells its own tale , from whatever eause it has originated . The funds closed today at the following rates : —Consols ( 3 per cents . ) 88 } ; Three-and-a-half per cents . 96 $ ; Reduced Three-and-a-half per cents ., 97 |; Exchequer Bills , 6 a . to 78 . premium ; Bank Stock is also going back , being now worth no more thau 163 ri 163 ^ . : Fihsburt Working Men ' s Association . —Last evening , ( Wednesday . ) this association held its
weekly meeting at its rooms , No 9 , Little White Lion-street , Long Acre , Mr . Moore in the chair , when the following resolutions were adopted;—1 . "That this association views with great dissatisfaction the result of the late trial of the Right Honourable the Earl of Cardigan , in tbe House of Lords , Feb . 16 th , 1841 , for shooting at Captain Harvey Tuckett , with intent to kill , which proves to them , beyond doubt , that there is one law for the rich and another for tha poor , inasmuch , as the email flaw in this indictment was fatal to the prosecution , whereaa , the strong objections that were raised on the late trial of John Frost and his fellow-prisoners , were declared to be of no avail ; and that it is further the opinion of this association , that had the same forms of
trial been adopted in both cases , namely , trial by . their peers , the latter men never would have been found guilty . Therefore , as Lord Cardigan has been acquitted , we deem it another reason why John Frost and his compatriots should be restored to their friends and their country , and compensation awarded to them for their long-suffering . " A resolution waa also passed , approbatory of Colonel Thompson ' s election plan , and recommending it to the Chartists of the country . Railway Accident . —Yesterday , on the Blaekwall railway , a fatal accident occurred , owing to the propelling rope becoming loose , from the quantity « f rain which has latterly fallen , whereby several persons were dreadfully maimed , and two or three killed .

Constantinople , Jan . 27 . —By recent arrivals from the Circassian coast we are informed that the fort of Soucha , one of the strongest posts occupied by the Russians , has fallen into the hands of the Circassians . The contest was very sanguinary , for the assailants stormed the place with their accustomed fury , and the garrison defended themselves with desperate obstinacy . After repeated repulses , and the loss of many men , the Circassians at length forced their way into the fort , and put the whole of the Russian troops to the sword . During the late storm twelve Russian ships were wrecked on the coast , and a large steamer was driven on shore , which the Circassians completely gutted . The blockade Is much more remiss than formerly , and the Russians seem at present to be weary ot a war which has caused them so much trouble aad loss of men . —Sun
The Ecvptian Akmt Routed . —The Ottoman General Jochmus attacked Ibrahim Pacha on his retreat from Damascus , but met with no resistance , nor was the fire even returned .

NEWCASTLE . —Dr . M'Donall lectured here on on the "Rights of Labour , " on the 12 th instant , on which occasion he showed Very clearly that labour was much worse remunerated than in the dark ages . On Saturday evening , the Doctor gave his second lecture , in which he ably traced t he origin and progress of the National Debt . After the lecture , a resolution was unanimously passed in favour of the return of Frost , Williams , and Jonos , and of heartily co-operating with the general committee . The sum of 10 s . lOd . was subscribed by the meeting for the sufferers at Castle Douglas . Three cheers were given at the conclusion for the Doctor , for Mr . O'Connor , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones . A supper , at whioh about forty fat down , was given to the Doctor » nd his lady . It was intended that the Doctor should lecture at Ouseburu and Newcastle on Sunday ; but he was unable , firom physical exhaustion , to do so .
and Mr . Mason ably supplied his place . The Doctor lectured ou Monday at Ouseburn , explaining his plan of organization in Scotland . Atone of the Newcastle lectures , twenty-seven names were taken down as members . The Observationalista , seeing that it was impossible for them to supplant the Council , being backed by the Northern Star , sent a deputation to the Council , requesting them to pass a vote of censure on that paper . Their object was distinctly seen , and they were distinctly given to understand that such was the case . The result now is , they are divided into three or four classes ! and continually fighting amongst themselves . They now find that the Council is not quite so imbecile as they at first imagined , and som < j are proposing a return to the path of rectitude . Our corresponded has supplied us with a more extended notice of the above meetings ; but we have not room to give it full insertion , owing to the lateaeaa oX its arrival , .

I have only to say that I do cot feel disposed to spend my time in wrangling , or disputing , with tjtiose who , I hope , are as sincere in their desires to promote tbe people ' s cause ul&oi myself ; and , therefore , I merely reply , that in writing that addreu to the middle classes , we were anzioat to have it read as extensively as possible—{ and shall be equally desirous to
effect the same object with regard to any future address we may write)—and , therefore , we sent copies to as many papers as we thought would insert it , believing that the more our principles are known , the more they will be admired and appreciated , and every convert gained to our cause strengthens our hands , while it weakens those of our enemies , whether Whigs ox Tories .
