" It will also be remembered that "upon his trial Sutherland took objections-to this act , as being unconstitutional , inasmuch as the Provin--dal Legislature bad no power to pass such a law ; ana * , from the lenient manner in which he has been ^ eall with , it is snpposed that the objection has been ustained by the law authorities in England .

At the inquest , the wretched mother , who had been , taken into custody , acknowledged having thrown the infant into the water , aud the . jury returned ' a verdict of wilful murder against her . The child was a female about a month old . The mother was committed ^ for trial . —Hereford Journal .
Diabolical Act . —On Tuesday last , as a boy named "William Peele , of Brewery-row , employed in Burges » 's Iron Foundry , Botchergate , was touching the cock of a steam boiler on the ^ premises , John M'Laughlan , a working man , said that he would put him in the boiler . The boy , naturally enough , laughed , upon which the monster seized him , and placed his head in the boiling water , and , after holding it there for a second or two , dropped the boy in altogether ! The poor fellow contrived to get out of the boiler , but is so dreadfully scalded , that his recovery is conpidered hopeless . He states that no ill-will bad previously ^ existed between M'Laughlan and him . The perpetrator of this barbarous act is in custody . —Carlisle Patriot .
A Fobtunb . —The will of Mr . Peter Ilolford , a barrister , and late of the Isle of Wight , has jnst passed under the seal of the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury . It is in the handwriting of tbe testator ; who bequeaths the whole , of his immense and princely fortune ( with the exception of £ 500 , which is left to the executor , ) amounting to upwards of £ 1 , 000 , 000 , exclusive of freehold , leasehold , and copyhold estates of great value in different counties , to his nephew , Mr . Holford . The stamp on the probate was £ 15 , , and the further duty will be al »> ut £ 30 , 000 more ; making a
total payment to government of a sum of £ 45 , 000 out of a single estate . It is an extraordinary fact , and presents a striking contrast to the will of the late Lord Eldon . which occupied forty-eight closewr itten skins of parchment , that this will is contained on one side of a sheet of letter paper . Mr . Holford was but twenty-two years of age , and unmarried . With the exception of the late Mr . Rothschild , and Mr . Rundell , of the well-known firm of Rundell , Bridge , and Rundell , goldsmiths , of Ladgate-bill , tbe Ftam p duty upon the upper value , a million , has seldom of late been called into operation , £ 15 , 000 being the highest probate duty . —Morning Chron .
The Tsational Movement .- Public Meetings . —On Saturday evening last , there was a numerous out-door- meeting at ' -freensidej about seven miles up the Tyne from Newcastle , on the outh side of the river . Commodious hustings were erected ; the Winlaton band , which , handsomely volunteered its services , was in attendance ; whilst an assemblage of pome two thousand stalwart men , and a vast concourse of females , showed that even in the quiet of retirement , the hand of the oppressor is felt , aud tbe hearts of Englishmen are rising up to resist it . The chair was taken at six o ' clock by Mr . Foster , and the meeting was ably and
appropriately addressed by several of the roost active and intelligent of the working men of Newcastle , and resolutions were unanimously passed condemnatory of the proposed agitation of the Com Laws , asserting the principle of "Universal Suffrage , and pledging the meeting to co-operate with the Northern Political Union in carrying out that principle into full and complete effect . Seldom have we seen greater enthusiasm than was evinced by the people of that neighbourhood on tbe occasion ; and when darkness brought the proceedings to a close , a large procession was formed , headed by the band , for the
purpose of conveying the Newcastle deputation on their way to Winlaton to attend a meeting advertised to be held in that town the same evening . About half-past eight the deputation reached Winlaton , where it was found that the Theatre , in which it was intended the meeting should be held , would not be able to contain a tithe of the vast assemblage , it was therefore adjourned to an open square where a flight of stone stairs formed an excellent platform for the speakers . After excellent speeches similar resolutions were unanimously agreed to . —Northern Liberator .
The Monasteby of St . Bernard . — The Monk Macarius , of whom we , sometime ago , had occasion to speak in connection with his mission of of charity on behalf of the Monastery of Mount Melleray , in Ireland , is now engaged on a similar expedition ,, appealing to tbe sympathies of the benevolent on behalf of a new establishment of Trappite Monks , at Mcunt St . Bernard , iH Leicestershire . Tbe monks have already brought into excellent cultivation from 40 to 50 acres of good land ; and they anticipate by the proceeds from such
cultivation materially to increase their daily donations to the poor of their neighbourhood , who already , from sunrise to sunset , are to be found receiving alms at the gate of tbe Monastery of Mount St . Bernard . We understand that Lord Stourton and several other catholic noblemen and gentlemen have received Mr . Macarius with great affability , and have subscribed very liberally to the object of his mission . 13 e haR also succeeded in collecting upwards of £ 20 from the friend ' s of Catholicism in Leeds .
Ingenious Fbaud . —J . Willis was charged with the following fraud : —The prisoner , it appear ? , is one of a numerous gang of fellows who are at present going about town hawking coals , and by an ingenious contrivance committing the most heartless frauds on the lower and middling classes . The fellows offer the conls , which appear of a good quality , for considerably less than they can be got elsewhere , in order to induce persons to purchase them ; and should a hundred be ordered they pretend to have but one weight , so as to be obliged to make two draughts of the quantity . The first part they throw into a sack ,
with a false side to it , and so contrived that threefourths of the next half hundred though shot into tbe mouth of the sack , falls into the waggon again . The parties with the waggon , on the trick being discovered , made their escape ; but as the policemen was removeing it to the Green-jard , prisoner m ; : de his appearance , and having claimed it as his , was taken into custody . The exhibition of the sack in the office created some laughter , and it wasevidentfrom its contrivance that the purchasers received very little more than half the quantity they paid for . The prisoner was ordered to find bail to answer any charge ibat might be preferred against him at the session . '
Effectsof Gin . —AtMarlborough-street office , London , an old woman , named Elizabeth White , Mas charged with being drunk , and with having created a disturbance in the streets .. A young . man of very respectable appearance came .-for-ward to give evidence against tbe woman . He said the woman at the bar was the mother of himself and three other sons , all of- whom were establishing themselves in business ; and each was likely to have his properly severely injured by tbe disgraceful propensity of their parent for gin . They jointly contributed a weekly sum towards her maintenance , and they-had even made arrangements with the parish officers for the further support of their mother . Such , however ,
was her unconquerable propensity for liquor , that she would spend every , farthing . she could obtain at the gin-shop ,. and though clothed respectably one day , she . would appear , the next in rags , from having parted with her decent garments to raise inoney for more gin . When in a state of intoxication , she would make her appearance at one of her / sons ' , shops , , by her disgraceful situation , and her conduct , she would cause a riot , and thus create much injury to his business . All her sons had times out of number been subjected to this annoyance , and it now bad become necessary to ask the magistrate to inflict some sort of punishment on their mother ., It was useless sending her into the workhouse , as she had discharged herself twenty times from that refuge j seme more severe mode- of restraint must now be
adopted'towards her . Mr . Chambere said it was stocking to see a woman ^ advanced in years , and the mother of a grown-up family , so disgrace herself ; Hetnew of no courseto pursue , unless the sonsient her to some village -wbefe no g in w-a 3 sold , if ' such . a p lace c 6 uld' "be found in England . - The old" woman said she would not go . neail her sons again , if she / were released ; - The magistrate was 1 aformed : that she Sad made the same promiserepe ' atedly / , > andno later than the previous day had beei dischargedTroni custody on a similar pie * .

Take that in its properplace , and he was with them . He hua seen the day before , half a million of men , and he protested that therf was not a drunkard amongst them —a proof that the Radical portion of the community were riot a drinking community ; and he was sure his excellen t friends , Mr . Hey worth and others , would be gratified to hear it . —Hear , hear from Mr .
Heyworth . —But that was not what he came to aadress them about ; he came to move a resolution respecting the people ' s charter—respecting an act to prorid ^ for the just representation of tne people . Why did they assemble in thier fhousands to . ask for achaugeintheirrepresentation ? Wasitnbtbecause that they who took charge of the national funds left them to work for them , and expended the money for their own benefit ? Was it not because a junto formerly exercised the privilege of placing men in the House of Commons , and although theysucceeded in aiding others to destroythatjunto , had not a manyheaded monster , taken its place ? Had taxation got removed ? H ere theirhomesmore happy ? fFas the monster of intemperance done away with ? Weretheir
electors more pure than they were before ? When he looked around him did he not look around on some working men there who had admitted to him , at tne last election , that they dared not use their franchise ?—Cheers .- ^ -Were there not thousands of tradesmen who dared not use their elective franchise in Liverpool ? Did not this principle extend into the mass as broad as th&basis of society ? If , in wishing for Universal Suffrage , they were wishing for it lor the working man onl y and for none other , then would their cause be fen unholy and unjust one and they ought not to prosper . But they sought nothing far themselves which they were not willing to give to others ; they asked for nothingbut a participation in what was every man ' s birth-right . —Cheers . —In asking for their rights they would take no less . Their reasons were the following : —the boroughmongers shared in the management of the
nursestrings of the nation ' s wealth for an indefinite period . The phalanx got broken , and the people in the joy of the moment consented to do what thev ougljtnot to have done ^—consented to sacrfice the priuciple of Universal Suffrage , in the hope that the power they thus gave over would be used with patriotism , ana that relief would be granted to the mass of tke community . They had had a fair trial . Yes , those who called themselves Reformers , defended the worst of the former abuses , and it was high time for them to take their own affairs into their own hands . As neither of the systems had done them justice , let them do it for themselves . He concluded with moving " that this meeting fully approves of the plan for the outline of an act to provide for the just representation of the people in the United Kingdom , in the Commons' House of , Parliament , in accordance with the principle set forth in the National Petition .

Mr . Cobbett next presented himself . He said , he had to return his thanks to their committee , who had done him the honour to appeal to him as the soconder of that resolution . And though he certainly did not go there expecting to be appointed to any such honourable offi ce ^ lie had , since he had been at that meeting , found sufficient whereon he thought it was bis duty to address to them his opinion as to theircpnduct—Hear . —The principles of the People's Charter to which that resolution referred , were UiriverKal S u ffrage , Animal Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , No Property Qualificatioii , and the Payment of Wages to Members of Parliament . That was the object of that meeting—that was the object for which many thousands had met there that day , and
that was the object for which , at least 300 , 000 had met on Kersal-moor the day before . That was the object wliicli they mnst follow up , determining never to be swuyed or deterred by the crotchets iof those friends who might pretend to join them . The Whigs , the humanity-mongers , the crochet-mong « rs , tne tee-totallers , the abdlition-of-slavery humbugs , the education people had alljoined them when they had taken the business into their own hands , as they did now , and when they bad joined them , ( the Radicals ) and got into power through them ,, they ( the Whigs ) bad always sacrificed them . What was the trick which was played off on tnerri on the passing of the Reform Bill ? _ They [ the Whigs ] talked to them about everything but those rights of which , they
stood in need . ' They [ the Whig .- ] had talked to them of education , of abstaining from spirituous liquor ? , of freeing tne t > lacks , of repealing the Corn Laws , and of repealing the free trade of literature in France . —Hear . —They had talked to them about everything but giving them a fair sliare in the produce of their owu labour—Cheers . —They might honoun a man who honestly disagreed-with them ; they might honour a man who said he believed their principles to be wrong and his own to be right ; but they must judge ; ot such , a man before they honoured him for his conduct ; , and when they found the conduct of any one man , or the conduct of any party of men , ( addressing Mr . AclanH , ) to be notoriously shuffling , base , mean , and deceitful—Great
cheering and waving of hats interrupted the conclusion of the sentence . —They had got there before them two Whig missionaries—one who looked like a gentleman , aud one who did not . —Great laughter and cheers .- -Possibly the latter might be the truth ; but he did not know , sufficiently of them , and he thanked God he hoped he never , slioiild . Those Whigs , whoiad sent these men there that day , ' and who , he had very" little , doubt , if they had not paid these honourable men , ' would have paid Somebody else , ' if they lpctndt come- ^ these very Whigs on this subject of spirituous liquors , had shown them the greatest possible evidence of their own base falsehood , 'for while they maintained a tax on the poor man's small beer , which would not make himdrunlc .
and which kept him fromhaving itat all , they bad reduced the tax on gin , whic ^' would make ; anyanan drunk in very , small quantities , — U ear , hear , hear , and cheers ;—An d what reason had they given for it ? This : that it was more profitable to thegorernment to b ^ tve asmall tax < m gin . than a largs one ; and so they had , according to . this gentleman's own reasons--jHccordiug to the . reasoning of their own noble and no / doubt disinterested missionary , —a laugh , —according to this reasoning , the government which lie had the distinguished , honour of representing there that dajv-that very government had sacr iliced their moral'characters , " the sake of what ? A little paltry gain in pounds , : shilliugsj andpence . ,, .
Mr , Acland [ interrupting . ]—I am not at all connected with : the government } it is not fair to represent that . —A laugh . Mr .

called the great meeting the day bsrore—the people of South . Lancashire had reiolved that they wonld- not assist in getting anyv of those questions , howerer much they have been ; Jdevoled to themt when it had been the fashion of their liberal Whi ^ advocates to get np to divide them . There were a great portioo of the ,, people of ; Manchester who wereinfavporof the Repeal of the Cora Laws , and a great majority of the people had cosrie' to tt < . e decision not to suffer them' to be discussed . That was the universal determination of tie- town of Manchester ; it was the saie at Oldhara . ¦ : Fromthere hfrhad gone toBolton , and he would tell them whatliad been d » ne there by these . Whig gentlemen . He , had been sent there as a delegateand a larga
, Imeefingaad been held in the theatre , andhfr-found lit turned « nt that the principal resolutions ts-ere to be moved . by Whigs of the firewater . A Whig Magistrate was to move one resolDtion , a Whig millowner was to second another , grid a young Whig gentleman was ; to move another ^ aad so on . He wa * delighted to find that the . middling classes bad joined them . Hebegan to think t&sn wis 0 feliow ^ , lor he knew that thatwas the only nsearis by which they could save themselves with all their wealth flndintelligence . B \ it how had it turned out ? The ; Whigs had at present , ' he believed , Tories in offieV jn the town of Boltbn ; the municipal elections were coniing on , and . they rece | ped a hint , that if tfieydid not give Up their Corn Law nonsense , &ey' should
not £ ufr WhiRs into the CoTpoiration . Therefore they were at the theatoe , for let them mind , a real traitor would almost go any length . —Hear , hear . They who never could get beyond Household Suffrage and Annual Pa ? Kaments , and all manner of things about taxes , they not only went thus far , but they were for downright Republicanism . Thf » y talked about the expense of the Crown ; and they talked about two of three hundred thiousand a « y ( qar as monstrous , but the thirty mjllion of taxation they could not perceive . They compai » d the expense of the Grown with the expense of the American government ; , they talked senerally against the monarchical government , and , by inference , left their auditors to come to the conclusion that they
were in favour of a republican government ia thix country . But let them mark this , although the meeting was called for the purpose of suppprtiug the political union of Bolton , and inducing the people to go to Kersal Moor , neither the Union nor the meeting were alluded to ; not one word would . 'tbe Whig . s at that meeting say about the meeting on Kersal Moor ; that showed them how foolish it would be to them to place tke slightest confidence in them . But , above all , never let them place any confidence in them when they went beyond the mark they wanted them . The moment they asked a man to serve them , " and he said he would do fifty times more , they had better sayr " No , I had rather not . "—Laughter and cheers . Let them recollect
that the great meeting at Birmingham , on Kersal Moor , and there that day—let thsm recollect that at those meetings their labours must not cease . 1 f they were to do no more than meet , and talk , and demonstrate their power , their enemies need not fear them . These meetings were called demonstrations , because they demonstrated the power they possessed . That power they derived from union ; and if , after making a demonstration of that kind , they retired for a time into rest , they wentback . to their homers , and did no more than make senseless demonstra _ tions . He advised them to form a union ; and if they alreadv had one , to support it . —Hear , hear , hear . If they could not pay a penny a-week , to pay a halfpenny ; to attend every meeting , and never to give up
agitntiontill they gamed what they were seeking . Let them always recollect between moral and physical force , Mr . Edmonds had drawn so very fine a distinction that he could not discover its boundary lineslet them remember that the shadow was nothing unless backed by the substance . —Hear and cheers . —Moral force meant this—and it was of no use to talk about sun and shadows—moral force meant this , "informing your enemy that you have physical force ready when you want ik" He was not for physical force . He would never call on a man to use it ; because he thought that a man who so called shonld be himself ready to lead them ; and because he was a very good attorney he was not fit for a general , unless it were Attorney-General . —Laughter . — -Therefore , he did not call upon anv one to u ? e
physical foice , because he was not ready to lead them ; and this he did say , when a man pretended tei act on hisenemies with moral force , and was not ready to use physical force , he must be a , man who was either grossly deceived by somebody ! , or lie had not a proper strength of mmo . 'himself . He thanked them f 6 r the great patience with which they had heard him , and , in conclusion , called on them to hold frequent meetings of that sort , and join the operatives of Lancashire and Yorkshire , and they would lead them a dance that would fell them something '—Cheers . . Mr . John Collins , of Birmingham , next spoke . Mr . Lowry , of Newcastle , made a most admirable speech , which was loudly cheered * as did our friend Bussey , of Bradford , upon seconding the nomination of Messrs . Smith and Whittle .
Mr . M'Nalty moved a resolution , to the effect that Thomas Smith and James Whittle be appointed delegates to a convocation of the industrious classes in London , the number of which was not to exceed 49 . Their duties being to sit nightly in the House of Commons , and report what was going on . , Mr . Peter Bussey , of Bradford , seconded the motion . Mr . Dixon , of Manchester , recommended Mr . Whittle and Mr . Smith to the meeting . The Chairman then put the resolution , appointing those persons as delegates , which was unanimously carried . Mr , Smith and Mr , Whittle each acknowledged their appointments .
The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the Chairman ; three cheers were proposed for O'Connor ' s paper , the Northern Star , and the meeting broke up at a quarter t& four o ' clock .

GREAT MEETING AT BRIGHTON . ( Abridgedfront the- Brighton Patriot . ) On Saturday evening , a pnblic meeting of the inhabitants , called by requisition to the High Constable , was held at tne Town Hall , at seven o ' clock in the evening , far the purpose of considering the propriety of obtaining an extension of the Suffrage , Voting by Ballot in the election of Members to serve in Parliament , and ftther mattera connected therewith . The meeting was most numerously and respectabl y attended , the large room in , the Hall being completely filled . At one period there must have been nearl y two thousand persons present . At the ; appointed hour , Mr ., Feargus O'Connor , attended by Mr . J . Good , and the Committee of the

"That t ^ s meeti ng is of opinion that tiie true cause of all the corruptions and anomalies in legislation , as wait as the distress ana misery which , afflicts ; the w ^ riingxlasses of society , may be traced to onr repre > eatati > e , system , which is based upon , excluafp ' and'BBJnsi prfyfleoes , abd r iot on to * rights of the pseple , and that the time" has now arrived for establishing it on afouadation more in . accordance with , the principles of justice , and thfr increased knowledge of the people .

He believed they knew that it had ever been bis general feeling to appear befdre them upon all such occasions as the present . ' He had attended at very considerable inconvenience , as £ » had not received the letter of invitation before 1 £ o ' clock on that day * but he considered it his duty , as theirliberal representative , to be present . He would not enteT into any discussion , buthe wouldi not disguise from them that he cbald not assist in carryia 2 out or agree with all that bad fallen from Mr , O'Connor . At the same-time he wished it not to bo inferred-that he did not advocate an extensfpn of th& , -uffrage and the vote by ballot —( applausej ^—but be
could foot approve of the tone which had'been nsed against mwy of the institutions of the , country . H © hsul attended for the purpose of witnessing their feeling upon the subjects brought before th m , in order that he might be enabled to judge how to deal with'the subject when it should appear Before the House of Commons . ( Hear , hear . ) He was certain . Mr . O'Connor must feel gratified at the reception he had met with and the orderly manner in which ths people of Brighton conducted tbein selves .

( Loud laughter . ) And he could assure them that i £
he was sent with him he would pay him every respect , and . he hoped he \ vouldbe such acolleagn » that they should work together in doing their duty / to their constituents . ( Applause . ) Mr .

He then moved : — That the petition submitted to our consideration by "the Birmingham Political Union expresses the
sentiments and wishes of this meeting , and that in order to carry out the demand which " that petition , expresses , Messrs .

A few days ago M . St . Ernest , the actor of the . Ambign , went to the church of St , Laurent , with his infant son , to receive the sacrament of baptism . Tbe vicar came to tbe font , and tbe ceremony proceeded , till the godmother was called forward , and gave her name and profession as ^ Mademoiselle Mar ia , actress of the Theatre des Tarietes . Upon this the priest stopped short , and declared that he ¦ would never receive an actress as a sponsor . All remonstrances being in Tain , and M . St . Ernest being resolved that his child should have no other godmother , he went to tbe cure , and stated the cir--cumstanee . Tbe -worthy minister immediately sent an order to his deputy to christen tbe child , allowing it to have such persons forits sponsors as the parents had ebasen , and the ceremony was concluded . — Paris Paper .
