o \ '? ct ! H-: r this defeat : s to happen the Nonconfnrmist does rot eond * = scei 2 < 1 { 0 enlighten us . The sb ? ence of seen explanstiop ^ however , forces npon us certain conjectures and - appositions , to account for the anticipated defeat . We cannot , for the life of ¦ cs , discover how the main object" of the Confebe > ce can be defeated , ty the return of well-known s . ni severely-tried U sites * - *! . Sutfjlagb advocates , IF itax " main ot j ecl- be the advancement of tie principle of I ' s / £ HSi .

Suffrage upon their hanii-: rr , w lie they hare kept theii rea / main
otjec : " ia » he oack ground ; if it should happen that their ' " main object" is not the Suffrage at all but Feze Tsade ; if it should turn oat thai this is t ' ne case , why , then , we can easily imagine 7 t . ; . zc T ' riAT " main object" be defeated by the -elecs ^ ons generally terminating as the Birmingham * 052 ha ; done I We ax imagine such a de eat , and ruck a " calamity , " as the Nonconformist calls it , as this : but we cannot possibly imagine how the Suf-Tiues " main object" is to be defeated by snch means . Th = anticipation of defeat , therefore , by the NoncGi ; f-.-rzr . ist , under these circumstances , raises a suspicion , : o giTe it the mildest term , that the K main object" of the Co > TEK £ 3 CE-caHers is not the ostensible one 1
The Nonconformist next discusses the possible rerolis to the uneducated masses of this anticipated defeat , and then fails foul of Mr . 0 'Cos > 'or in a style and manner that but too plainly show that his otjsc : and the object of his employers , is to " gei rio of F £ abgcs . " We will Lave his own words , however , aad commenr oa them afterwards . Addressing himself to the working classes , he ssys ' : — . " The time is fully come fur holding np their idcl to the steady view tf their own plain and strong common
sense—for draggiBg him fonh from the dim light of bis ottii own sanctuary , from midst his own professions acd self-iaadctions , and exhibiting the m&n in his own colours and dres . We shall not iaiitaie him in the use of scurrilous epithets—nor month , in the tore of ridiculous ^ randLlcqaciice , the language of buffonery and ir ^ uit These ¦ weapons we 1-ave to him ¦ whom they test beseem . But we ask the iittention ^ of ¦ workisg men to a few facts , cakBly stated , and thereupon we cbitrfuily c-juimecd them to their ova sober conclusions .
" It can fcircly be forgotten by the labouring classes , that the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter , were tnounced long siace , by middle-class patriots ; and teat , actuated by -whatever motive , several leading men , now figuring in peblic life , assisted in the production of that celebrated d&cnment iN'oiselssily , bat not unsuccessfully , thtse principles fibre jnai ne their appeal to the judgment of society , when jjr- Fearjjus O'Connor sppsaj&d npon tii « stage . Ltt us co him justice . Ha brought to the cause indomitable e ^ erzy , considerable still , unwearied activityand , in an ill-fated day , the doctrine of physical force . He organised what he fousd unshapen and incoherent—he created a machinery which was powerful
both for good and evil—and he employed it for the 22 tter . By bitttr denunciations , by fomenting the worst passions of human nature , by dogmatism the most intolerable , and inso ' . ence which no spirit having a spark of manhood could biosk , he drove from the people ' s ranks every nr . ddlt-ckss leadtr , seemingly unable to rest until the sta § e was left clear for himself alone . Tbe fruits cf bis violence speedily ripened—myriads of ¦ perking men were goaded into open conflict with the government—and the man who had ( laid tha train , and kindled the match , slunk away to Ireland beyond reach of danger . Thoroughly defeated in ; this his own scheme of policy , he returned to begin anew his pernicious course . As tfeough secret
conspiracy , incendiarism , and bloodshed , were not enough to destroy any vestiges of sympathy which the middle ctsses might feel for tbe working men , he counselled annoyance in a scarcely less offensive shape , and barked on bis followers to a disturbance cf every p-afciic meeting , and denounced as " humbug" every effort for administrative reform . He succeeded but too well in g-iini :: g the only end which will fairly sceonni for his proceedings . He rendered the breach bet-ween the two classes nil hut irreparable . By associating with ifcs principles of the Chai ttr his own
ferocity , he made thtm stink in the nostrils cf respectable men , and then availing himself of the disgust his own work had excited , be turned to tbe labouring classes , and stimulated , by producing bsfore them the feviae ^ ccs of this disgust , their already hot resentment against a : I above them . He was now without a rival in the leadership of r te masses ; and as , one by one , men cf cooler heads , of sterner integrity , of more disinterested tea ? Is . , rose into estimation with tbe unenfranchised , be denounced them ¦ with viraler . ca the most incsssant , and Effixfcd to them tbe badce cf infamy . "
2 \ ow , labouring people , you have had Mr . G'Conr > oa amoug ; : you , associating and working amongst you , for now eight years . Teat intercourse has given you opportunities of judging of his real character and worth . Your " own plain and strong common sense " -R-onld enable you to make observations , and correct ones too , respecting any man who mixed amonij you as Mr . O'Coff . voB has done , in a much less time than ei ^ hr years . The Nonco 72 formist says that the above picture * " exhibits the man in his own . colours and dress . '' What say you ? Remember , that it is painted by a man who knows nothing of Mr . O'Cosxor but what he has learned from his class
associations . He never worked with Mr . O'Conob , as you have done . He never mixed with him , either in public or private ; and you have done bt > th . We question whether ever he was in the same room with Mr . O'Connor , or would ever be ahle to point him out personally , if he was "required to do so : and yet this man , with-this degree of knowledge , presumes to paint , FOR YOU , a portrait of a " man in his own colours and dress" whom you have known so well and so long ' . ! There uever vras a more glaring instance of class ignorance and prejudice than this satde u poriTci ; " by xhe ^ Tonconformii ; . '
We shall pass over the garnish with which the savoury mess is served up , and come at once to the '" few facts , calmly stated . '' 4 i It can hardly be forgotten , by the labouring clsrses , " says the Nonconformist , " that the-prmcip ' . rs of the People ' s Charier w ? re enounced long EiEce by niidd ; e-cl 3-is patriot ; . " The working people certainly have not forgo :: en that it is Ions ruce thev nrst enounced the Drincioles contained in
the People ' s Charier ; nor nave they forgotten tne persecution and suffering that have accrued ro them for such enunciation As for the middleclars patriots of " long since , " the less iha : is said on that head the better fur the Xi >\ toufi / TTa . ii and his middle-class friends ' Tiie greatest enemies that ihe working people , the * " ELOUlicers of tie principled embodied in the People ' s Charter , " have had to contend with , have be- ; n tbe middle ela-sfS .

' It was the middle classes , who called vpjn the Go-Terameni to pass STRONG MEASURES to put the '" enouncers of the principles embodied in the People ' s ChEr : er" down ¦ It was the middle classes

j It is true that Hunt , and Ccbbett , and Cartj Wright belonged to the middle classes at the time j they laboured with , and for , ths people ; and it is equally true , that for so labouring ; for identifying i themselves with the people ; for " enouncing the ) principles embodied in- the People ' s Charter , " they ; were persecuted beyond measure by their own ; order ) They were represented in exactly the same ! li <; h : as the Nonconformist , the Organ of the middle ; classes of our day , represents Mr . O'Connoe They were denounced on every hand . Consult the j venal prints of the day ; and you will find exactly j parallel portraits ' to the one we have just given , I professing to " exhibit the men in their own colours : and dress . " It is a very old middle class game that ; the Noiiconformisi is now playing !
u Koiselessly , but no * , unsuccessfully , these principles were making their appeal to the judgement of society , when Mr . O'Connor appeared upon the stage . " Thi 3 sentence exhibits the writer ' s total ignorance of what he pretends to write about . It is untrue , in whatever sense it is taken . If it is made to refer to the" long since" the writer had just spoken of , the facts we have narrated respecting the persicution of the " enouncers" of " these principles" show thai the " appeal" was any thlDg but a " noiseless " one l If it is made to refer to the cj-aei lime of Mr . O'Connob ' s appearance on the political ? tage in England , it is equally untrue : for
taese principles were then certainly not " suecesfpiiiy " making their appeal to the judgment of svcieiy . " At the period of Mr . O'Connor's entree upon political life amongst us , society was d ~ unk , and uDable to exercise any judgment at all ! It was when we had obtained the Bill , the whole bill , and nothing hut the Bill ! It was when the working people had been cajoled and betrayed by the middle classes into the denunciation of those very principles which this writer tells us were " noiselessly , but not unsuccessfully making their appeal to the judgment
of society '" It was wnen the middle-classes had succeeded in the procurement of the denunciation of the patriot Hcni by sections of the working people , for h : s firm " ennnciation ' of " those principles , ' and his exposure of the Reform Bill fraud ! It waa at this period that Mr . O ' . CoNNoa cams amongst us ; and it was his " [ enunciation" of " those principles , " when the nation had got a little sobered , that eaused their " appeal 10 the judgment of society " to be lisieccd to ; and has eventually caused the patrons of the Nonconformist to ostensibly espouse them '
Good God ! Look at the position of the Movement at the period of Mr . O'CoNXoa's coming amongst us , and then compare it with our position nozc ! The agitation for the principle of Universal Sutpsagb all but dead . The people split up into little sections , under sectional leaders , venting forth their grievances in a discordant and uaconnected manner . 1 > o concert ; no oneness of purpose ; no organization ; no knowledge even of each other ' s doings 1 Hr . vr dead ! Cobbltt , soon after , also removed from the stage of the living . No leader ; no railving point ; no agitation ] The people a prey to contending factions : ready to give their " sweet
-voices" almost to every humbug who asked for them ; and afraid to offend their leaders amongst i the middle classes , by asking for the full measure of justice . It .. was when the Movement . was in this sorry condition , that Mr . O'Connor was made a present { of to the English Radicals . They accepted him ! He came amongst them . He , at first , inscribed upon his banners , ' * Universal Scf-FRA 6 E and No Surrender ; " and from that day to this has gone on from conquering to conquer on behalf of that principle , until he has made the party who espouse it the only powerful party , as far as public opinion is concerned , in the state 1 Sight well do we know the opening of his mission ia Lseds to re-planc the banner of Universal Suffkjige ' amongst us , and establish the Radical
Association . The invitation to him , on that occasion , was given by two working men He attended to their call . At that period the Leeds Times had passed into tbe hands of a new conductor . Bef . > renme it had not ranged itself under any banner , but had professed to be a no party advocate ; taking care always , however , to advocate the return of Whigs , when an election was ai hand . It was judged prudent on the part of the new Editor to make it more decided in its tone . He proposed to join in the project of bringing O'Connor to Leeds ; and his offer of help was accepted . Se Feral meetings of the Committee were held in the Editor ' s room ; and the large meeting place in the Com mercial Buildings was engaged partly at the risk of the pablisher of the Times and partly at the risk of the friends who had first invited Mr . O'Connor . It was
soon found , however , by tbe ? e working men , that ] with their new allies , Universal 6 cffragb was a great bugbear . '" Could not Mr . O'Connor be induced to substitute Household for Universal . " " He will drive all respectable people away . " " Household Suffrage is a 3 much as can be reasonably agitated for , with any chance of public support or success . " The answers were , by the working men , that " they could listen to no compromise . " " If the respectable people were scared away by the bugbear of Universal Suffrage , they must be used to ir , and then perhaps they would not deem it so very
frightful . " On the day of the pnblic meeting , Mr . O'Connor met the Committee in the Editor ' s Room . There he was set upon , and implored to abandon Universal SrPFKAGK . Counsellor Wales , tlitn accounted a Radical , was present , and pleaded , as if for life , - that Mr . O'Connos would give way , and consent to advocate IJvu .-ch ' Jd , instead of Universal . The answer was dignified , decisive , and plain : — " I come here on a mission . I an ? sen ; by ihe working men of London to plant the standard of Universal Slftkage amongst the working people of Leeds . It there are bur t : irtein Leeds who will join with me , we will j : jn : bnt to no compromise or surrender of the
shadow of a shade of the full measure of jastice wiil I lisrei ! . " After this he went to the public meeting . He explained his mission . He spoke home to the hearts of the working people . He enlisted their sympathies on the side of right and justice ; and from thnt day may be dated the political redemption of Leeds from the hands of faction ! Prom Leeds he proceeded ail over the country . He also visit-ed ScotlanJi Ha roused the doimaut enerjr' . es of the people . He infused into them a new
spirit . He imparted to them a portion of his own " unwearied activity . " He organized them . He directed their attention to orie point . He made them acquainted wish each other , and secured amongst them co-operacion for an undivided purpo .-e . He made the agi ' . ation really formidable ; aud ij vra ? , therefore , determined by those who had hitherto lived on tho people's divisions , and who had been great men iu their little spheres , to get " rid of FEA £ &rs . "
And now we come to explain the reason why the public have seen the hatching and blowing-np of so many plots and schemes to accomplish this purpose . Many people have wondered to find professing Radi-CiL ; and Chartists engaged in ihe sccompiiilmient of ihese schemes . They Lave wondered how it could possibly come to pass , that men who were bound to coaitss that Mr . O'Connor worked so , as hardly ever eie worked ; that he "had brought to the cause indomitable energy , considerable skill , and unwearied activity ; " they have wondered how it could happen that such a man should be conspired against , and plots laid to accomplish his riddance , by professing friends : when we have given them our explanation they will wonder no longer .
Mr . O Connob s great crime , all along , from the first hour of his introduction amongst us to the present , has been , that he wa * , and is , an anii-Maj . thusia . n ; that he was the friend of labour , and an opponent of the dominant influence and power of capitax . This is the head and front of his offending . Had he been a MaJthusian ; had he been a supporter of the hellish principle upon which the I \ ew Poor Law is based , &ud a Repeal of ihe
Cora Lawi n < , zc advocated ; had lie been inclined to amuse ihe people with tbe question of the Suffrage , while he was aiding in fixing on the chains of slavery so tightly as to leave the poor victims no liberty at all ; had he only holden his ten . ^ ue on the mighty question of Labjcs ' s rights ; had he cjnseaied no : to espose the infernal projects of > " evr Poor Lzvr cc-.: cocicis and enforcers had he on ] ' . ' done this , ho w-- ^; i hu ' -vc be-. n hailed by those wh-i usy ^ cC'LULuaUy eoiirpir ^ to " get na" ofiaffi ,

as the best tool that could have been put into their hands ! But he was too honest . He saw who the real enslavers of the working classes were . He saw the projects that had been formed for their complete and effectual debasement . He knew the worthlessness of that pretended philosophy , which countenances the extirpation of a portion of the human race , because of a surplusage ! He gave utterance to his sentiments . He spoke heme to the hearts and understandings of his auditors . He laid naked and bare , the schemes of the Malthasians .
He ranged himself on the side of Labopk , and taught the Labourer how to know and how to estimate his friend . He helped to turn the tide of public opinon on this question ; and it is because of this ; it is because he has been a stumbling-block in the way of the Free-trading New-Poor-Lawing MalthusiBns ; it is because he has unveiled tbeir hideous visages . and exposed their horrible deformity ; it is because of these things , and these alone , that one section of pretended advocates of Universal Suffrage have plotted and conspired to " get , lie of Feareus . "
This conduct on the part of Mr . O'Connor has earned for him the unextinguishable hatred of the Places , the HrMiS , the Rokbccks , the Wariubtons , and every disciple of the school of Malthis . It is this conduct which has caused the employing of every engine by this school , to procure the political destruction of this " indomitable '' opponent . This conduct caused the establishment of the Working Man ' s Association , where the working men were to do without leaders ; and where none but working men were to take part . This conduct caused the employment of emissaries from this same Working Man ' s Association to go through the country to form branch Associations , on this same principle of 720
leadership ; the emissaries living all the time they were so employed on money furnished by their leaders , Joe Hume and Franky Place ! !! It was this conduct on the part of Mr . O'Connor , that caused the numerous slights and insults to be heaped upon him by the rump of the London Malthnsians j and the numerous plans and eoncoction 3 to prevent him from having the privilege to address the public audiences . It was the reasons arising from thi ' 3 conduct on Mr . O'Connor's part that prompted the Fox and Goose scheme , to " get rid of Feargus ; " and we need no better evidence than this " portrait" of the Nonconformist ' s to shew us that those reasons have had some weight in the formation and developement of the Complete Suffrage scheme itself .

The Sincerity and Sympathy of the Complete Suffragists . —Upon this subject , Duncan Robinson calls attentiorito the following fuels : — " A meeting of delegates from the various trades , shops , and factories , in and . around Gflasgow , called by placard , to discuss the propriety of sending delegates to the Conference which is to be held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December , and that of advising means to raise the funds necessary for , effecting such an object , . was held in the Chartist Church on tbe 15 th of November . There were present on that occasion forty-thido delegates . They appointed a deputation to wait on the Directors of the Charter Association , and also that of the Complete Suffrage Association , respectfully soliciting the co-operation of those parties with
them ia their undertaking . This was done with the view that , if successful , it might be the means of leading to a better understanding between the middle aud working classes , —such as would ultimately tend to . effect' that union , without which some are disposed to think neither will obtain their object The deputation accordingly waited on the directors of the Complete Suffrage Association , who were met that evening at Graham ' s Coffee Room , Trdngate , when they ( the ditectors ) said they could give no answer until they ' abo ' nld call a meeting of their Association , when they ¦ would inform the . deputation , if they chose to call ,
at the close of their meeting , what decision they might come to on the subject . Well , on Tuesday last , the directors of the Charter Association met for the purpose of considering the matter , and unanimously agreed to co-operate with such of tbeir fellow-citizens as might choose to join them in the raising of funds for the support of such delegates as a public meeting of tbeir fellow-citizens would elect , whether Complete Suffragists , or not . The Complete Suffragists reply was , ' We will support no delegate neither with pecuniary nor other means who may not be pledged to the principles of the Complete Suffrage . '"

EVACUATION OF AFFGHANISTAN . GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY-( l'LBLISHED BY AUTHORITY . ) PROCLAMATION . Secret Department , Simla , Oct 1 , 1 S 41 . The Government of India directed ita amy . topais the Indus , in order to « xpel from Afghanistan a Chief believed to be hostile to British interests , aud to replace upon his throne a Sovereign represented to be friendly to those interest * , and popular with his former subjects .: .. ¦ ¦ . - . ; ' ¦ . ¦ .- . '"¦ ¦¦¦ . ¦ . ¦ ' - The Chief believed to be hostile became a prisoner , and the Sovereign represented to be popular was replaced upon his tbiene ; but , after events which brought into question bis fidelity to the Government by which he waa restored , he lost : by the hinds of an assassin the throne he bad only held amidst insurrections , and his death was preceded and followed by still existing anarchy .
Disasters unparalleled in tbeir extent , unless by tbe errors in which they ^ originated , and by the treashery by ¦ which they- ' . were completed , have in one short campaign been avenged upon every scene of past misfortune ; nndiepeated victories in the field , and the cap . turn of the cities and citadels of Ghuzaee and Cabul , have again attached the opinion of invincibility to the British arms . The British army in possessian of Afghanistan will now be withdrawn to the Sutlej . The Governor-General will leavo it to the Affisbans themselves to create a government amidst the anarchy which is tbe consequence of their crimes . To force a Sovereign upon a reluctant people would be as inconsistent with the policy as it id with the principles of the British Government , tending to place th « arms and resources of that people at the disposal of the fiist invader , and to impose the burden of supporting a Sovereign without the prospect of benefit from bis alliance . :
The Governor-General will willingly recognise any government approved by the Affgnans themselves . Which shall appea * desirous and capable of maintain ^ friendly relations with neigbouring States . Content with the limits nature appears to have assigned to its empire , the Government of India -will devote all its efforts to the establishment and maintenance qf geueral peace , to the protection ef the Sovereigns and Chiefs , its allies , and to the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful subjects . Tbe rivers of the Punjaub and the Indus , and the mountainous ) passes and the ljarbourous tribes of Affghanistan , will be placed between the British army and an enemy approaching from the West , if , indeed , such an enemy there can be , and no longer between the army and it supplies .
The enormous expenditure required for the support of a large force , in a false military position , at a distance from its own frontier and its own resources , will no longer arrest every measure for the improvement of the country and of the people . The combined army of England and of India , superior in equipment , in discipline , in valour , and iu the officers by whom it is commanded , to any force which can be opposed to it in Asia , will stand iu unassailable strength upon its own soil , and for ever , under the blessings of Providence , preserve the glorious empire it has won , in security and in honour . The Governor-General cannot fear the misconstruction of his motives in thus frankly announcing to surrounding states , the pacific and conservative policy Of bis government . Afghanistan and China have seen at once the forces at his disposal , aud the effect with which they can be applied .
Sincerely attached to peace for the sake of the benefits it confers upon the people , the Governor-General is resolved that peace shall be observed , and will put forth the whole power of the British Government to coerce tbe state by which it shall be infringed . By order of The Right Hon . the Governor-General of India , T . H . Maddock , Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General .

THE LATE WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE IN THE FOREST OF DEAN . BEiTH OF FRANCES BENNETT , THE MTJRDERER OF HER CHILDREN . Gloucester , Saturday . —Few occurrences have excited a more paiaful mtere&t in this quarter than the investigation which terminated in the . committal of Frances Bennett from Ruardean , in ihe Forest of Dean , to the county gaol in this city , to . await her trial at the assizes . The circumstances have been stated , and are shortly these : —Frances Bennet , after the death of her husband , by whom she had several children , lived with a man named Yapp , a haulier , the children by marriage havintj gone elsewhere . About a month ago , Bennett , under the apprehension that she was about to die , made a disclosure to a clergyman , in the presence of several , persons , to tho effect that she had six children by Yapp , but none of them had been allowed to live , she having siiifocated
Shem immediately after birth . She told where the remains of the bodies would be found . The latest murder , according , to the confession of the woman , was perpetrated about Christmas last year , and the spot which she indicated as containing the remains was found ou examination to conceal the most perfect skeJeion of any . The truth of this horrid confession having in . this way been placed beyond a doubt , information was sent to John Cooke , Esq ., one of the county coroners , who instantly proceeded from Gloucester to Ruardean to institute an investigation . The witnesses examined on . the inquest consisted chiefly of the pert 0 ns to whom the "woman had made the confession , including the clergyman who had communicated with the magistrate on the subject , and the persons who had found the remains of
the bodies . In course ef the examination of the clergyman by the coroner , it came out that he had had a second interview with the wretched woman , none being preaont but themselves , and that she had made some additional disclosures . The rev . Gentle man , however , on the ground that what he was told upop this occasion was mixed up with his " spiritual " duties , refused to communicate any particulars , although pressed to de so by the coroner .. The woman , moreover ^ began to deny that she had made any such confession as thai sworn to by the witnesses , but enough had been proved to justify the jury > n > einri < - ing a verdict of wilful murder against Bennett and her paramour , Yapp . The latter was instantly removed to Gloucester , but the state of Bennett ' s health was such as to induce the coroner to delay the order for her removal till it could be effected without
danger . Oh the afternoon of Thursday , the 17 th instant , the miserable woman arrived at the county gaol in a fly , attended by Mr . Bird , a medical men . She was carried up stairs to the hospital , and on beiBg placed on the bea , she said , " Now I will die happy . " She died early on the Friday morning . This day an inquest was held on the body , before John Cooke . Esq .. the coroner , wko conducted the irivestigauoij at Kuardean . Disease had reduced the body to a perfect skeleton , but the appearance of tho features was more pleasing than otherwise . Mr . Cooke , who saw the deceased alive about three weeks ago , remarked that her lace bad undergone little change .
Tne first witness , examined was Eliza Gansmore . one of the nurses attached to the gaol , who stated that she was directed to wait upon the deceased shortly after her arrival . Deceased often thanked God that she had been removed , and said that she was much happier in gaol than at home . The Coroner here stated that , a rumour was abroad that the deceased was in the family way , ana he asked the witness if ^ she could speak to the point } The witness stated that she asked the question of deceased ,. and she stated that she was not . Deceased said that she was only thirty-eight years of age .
Maria Nuttal , another nurse , was next examined . She said that she was present when the deceased died on Friday morning , and was with her some days previous . She asked witness to read and pray to her . Sometimes when she w % s reading the deceased would say '** ' Stop ; wait till I ' m better , " and when she recovered she would ask her to go on . As her death approached she seemed to feel contested . She was sensible to the last . She said that- she bad been , ill for about twelve months . Mr . Hickes , the surgeon , stated that the complaint of which the deceased died was pulmonary consumption , and , in hie opinior , the removal front Ruardean had neither ir < jured nor benefitted her . She seemed to be aware . ti .-at she could FKrvire only for a fewdays . She mentioned to him and others that the had been sent to gaol , charged with the murder of her children . The jury . returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes . "
Yapp , on being told of the death of Bennett wept bitterly . The body was burkd by the relatives oi the deceased . (

¦ As to worldiy . means , the murderers were comiort able . Indeed it is alleged that the only index to their brutal conduct is to be-found in tho circumstance that Bennett ' s husband settled his property upon her , but with tbe restriction that should sha marry ajjjin the property wad to go to his eiii . dreu .-. ¦ It was tKe desire to retain the property which probably prevented h- T marriage with Yu > p , and every body knows how one crime leads to another .

Time warns us that we must now close this somewhat lengthy article . We have not yet finished . The course we had chalked out is far from being gone over . We have yet to detail other and minor reasons for the desire to " get rid of Fcargus ; " but which are necessary to be known in order to a full consideration and understanding of the subject . We have also to fling back the foul and deliberate lie of the Nonconformist , that Mr . O'Conxor " brought to the cause , the doctrine of Physical Force . '' We have
also to expose the cowardly miscreant where he charges the outbreaks of 1839 to the effects of Mr . O'Connor's violence , and the horrible imputation contained in the . assertion , that " the man who laid the train and kindled the match , slunk away to Ireland beyond reach of danger . " We intend to give a full history of those transactions , and cause thebiame of them to fall on the right hea : s . . We have also to meet his assertion , that Mr . O'Connob caused the defection of the middle-class-leaders . We hare to meet him thoroughly and completely aud purpose to do it .
This , however , must rest till another week . We have neither time nor space for more of it at present . We cannot conclude without calling on the working people to complete the good work they have so well begun . Follow the example of Birmingham ! Elect to this Conference men whom you know as advocates of Universal Suffrage ; men who have proved their devotion to the principle ; men who will not temporize , or turn to the right hind or to the left ; men who will not make the advocacy of the Suffrage a stepping-stone for the realization of the schemes and projects of the Free Traders . We implore you to send men in whom you can place implicit confidence ; to listen to no proposals about two delegates from one association , and
two from the other ; to hearken to no compromises , no arrangements , no bargaining ; for you may depend on it that where such is the case , a sale ia to be effected , let whoever may receive the price ! To the work , theD , working-men . ' Look about you ! Choose men with cool heads and honest hearts . Give them your instructions in full . Tell them what you want them to do . Bid them go do it ; and this Conference , respecting which there is so much ALARM in some quarteis , shall tend to the consolidation of our Tanks , the augmentation of our power , and the advancement of our principles . In your hands we leave ihe issue ! 1 God speed you !

Robbery at GaRiTang . —At Garstang annual fair , held on Tuesday week , Richard Kenyon , a cattle dealer from Chipping , near Clitheroe , was robbed of his pocket book , containing . £ 180 , principally in notes , whilst in a ttate of intoxication . JN ' o trace ef the thieves has yet been discovered . Extraordinary Suicides in One Family . —On Tuesday a most singular attempt at suicide was made by a man of the name of DobeH , a leather-dresser , residing in EJim-streefc , Long-lane , Bermondsey . What attaches particular interest to the attempt at self-destruction , arises from the fact that about a year ago a brother of this individual , a respectable butcher ia Bermondsey-street , drank a large
quantity ofarsenie , and taking an opportunity of going up stairs as if to clean himself , nearly separated his head from the trunk with a large knife . Hardly two months elapsed after the inquest when another brother , a leather-dresser , living in Crosby-row , LoDg-lane , was found in a dying state in bed , having swallowed an immense quantity of ' arsenic . He was taken to Guy ' s Hospital , but did not live long after his arrival there . It appears that in the case on'Tuesday , Mrs . Dobell had gone out on some trifling errand , and upon her return home found her husband in dreadful ago ny , and nearly insensible . Mr . Wag- ' staff , the surgeon , of Lone-lane , was called in , and
ascertained that Dobell Had also taken a large dose i of arsenic . and that his life was in imminent danger . Having applied the usual remedies , he was after- ! wards taken to the workhouse , where Mr , Paul has t been unremitting in his exertions . Dobell was so exhausted as to be unable to speak , and therefore to ; explain what could have induced the attempt on bis ) life . Mr . Paul entertained some hopes of his reco- very , but at present his ccse is one of great danger , t It is feared that great distress , arising from depres- : s 5 on of trade , may have been the .. cause of the ' . ' ' attempted filicide ; but he could not be in ac ; ual want . ; as on the 9 'h oi ) ISovereber the parish advanced him ' a loan of £ 1 10 a . :
