Sir EDWaBD SEftBES , ifl . aoBB-jnenee of # ome bBervatioM made by Lord John Rutseli , respecting the indisposition of the Lord Chanotilor , consented to the postponement of the discussion of the Administration of Justice ( No . 2 ) Bill , till the motion for going into committee . The Report of the committee on Customs Duties baring been brought up , Mr . O Cox sell gave the measure bis most cordial support , bni it was calculated , he thought , to do iuucb more good to EtjUnd than to India . "The Honourably and Learned Gentleman complained of the insecurity of title of the cultivators of India to their lands , which -was attended with the most horrible consequences -, and he entered into a detail of the -rwious famines in India since the establishment of our empire there by Lurd Give , in 17 * 0 .
Mr . Hogg observed that the discussion opened by the Hon . and Learned Gentlemaa would occupy more time than could be afforded « n that occasion . The permanent settlement of the Marquis of Cornwall !* had not been productive of all the good expected from it The ttatemenU of famines were exaggerated . Mr . He he observed that it was cot true that so many ftanii > & » had taken place in India as bis Hon . and learned Friend had mentioned . TiJt subject of tenures ¦ was one of great difficulty . Air . £ wisr cwiioerred that the measure would be benefieiil to India as -well a « to England . In answer to a question from Mr . Goulbura , Mr . LxBOI' chekb said the object contemplated by tfce present Bill was to place the rum of the Esrt Indies on the footing on irLfch the rum of the West Indies Stood , and sot to touch the duties on ram imported into Ireland and Scotland , as distinguished from the duties on nun iisporad into England .
The report was received , and a Bill founded on it ordered to be brought in . The report of the Committee on her Mnjesty's message respecting Lord Keane vas brought up and agreed to . Mr . Ewabt gave notice that in' committee he should move that the pension be granted to -Lord Keano for tie only . Mr . He me shouid support the motion of his Hon . Friend ( Mi . Ewart ) in comntittee ; and referring to a correspondence between the Government and the Court of Director * , in "which the latter hod expressed an op inion that Lord Ksane was already amply rewarded , thought they should either have a copy of the oorrespecdenee or a denial of the fact .
Lord Johs Bcsselx , with regard to any eommnniestioa with the Court of Directors , would only say , that the aubfltanee of it was totally different from what the Honourable Gentleman seemed to suppose . The Directors did not give an opinion that Lord Keane bad already been amply rewarded , bat declared that they thought it most jost tb . it an application should be made to Parliament . Mr . Hi'ME said his question had been mimnderstood He wished to knuw whether an application had been made to the Court of Directors , aad whether they did not refuse to accede to it . Mr . Hogg said the Directors had expressed in the atroHgtet terms their opinion of the merits of Lord Keane , bu ? thought that as bis ¦ erriset had been recognised by tba British Parliament , the p en sio n hould be eoolerred by the British House of Comy >^ T 7 ^ The report was then received .

General JOH > "STOK £ bad no epprehension that tin b ill , if brought in , would pass into a law , for tfceri ¦ was too much sense in both Houses of Parliamtn fco admit , for a moment , the principle of secret execn tion .

Thursday night week a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Hercules Builuin ^ s , Lambeth , to petition the Legislature for the immediate release of Mr . H . | Hettwrington , confined in the 3 iaRha ' s = a , for / oar jaonths , for selling " Hasiwa ' s Lstt-ers , " which have ' feeen termed , by the law officers of the Crown , a blasphemous publication . A . eurbt o ' clock the hall was ; densely crowded ; but it ww half-past eight before ] the chair was taken by J . Eilwards , Esq ., w ho wasj ¦ opported on the right and left by Bereral highly- ; influential persons , connected with the Borough of i Lambeth . , ;
The ChaiekaS said that it would be his duty that ! evening to submit ty the meeting a series of resolutions , ' and a petition to Parliament grounded upon them , for j the release of Mr . Hetherington , who had be « n indic ' . ed ! for blasphemy , before Lord Benman and a Special j Jury , for selling *¦ Haslaa's Letters to the Clergy of all denominations . " He would not detain them with any cbaervations , but would read the petition , which set j forth— " That for the same offence two other persons , j i&melj , Mr . Abe ] He / wood aod Mr . John Cleave , had ' been caavicifcd . Mr . Hey wood bad escaped punish- j sent , but Mr . Cleave unrierwent a part of his se . ntence
m imprisonment , and paid a fine . " The pttition then j pr&yed " that even-hatnled jastice might be dealt out 1 # the publishers of Byrrn and Shelley's worts , by prv > -1 ¦ ecuting them for the publication of boots equally as ! criminal as those for which Mr . Cleave and Mr . Hether- ! iagton had b& .-n convicted . " Jt ilso prayed that a j Committee of the House of Commons would define bias- ! phemy , in order that the public might be cautioceJ ' gainst bein ^ guilty of it . After commenting upon the law , as it was , regarding blasphemy , tbe petition respectfully called upon tie Legislature for the immediate telease of Mr . Hetlierirgton . Mx .

proceeding * oa the part of the Govemaeat against Mr . Hetherington , who had not been treated ia the aax&e manner with others who had been prosecuted by the same Government , for the eam « ofifenoe . Although no immediate relief might be obtained by the petition , yet he felt satisfied that it would be ultimately service able , by showing that public opinion was opposed io > ach prosecutions , as they neither forwarded troth sor justice , nor upheld religion . Mr . Llotd Jokes seconded the resolution . Twelve months ago , bills were found against Mr . Heywood , for selling Haslam ' s Letters . On that occasion he ( Mr .
Jones ) parchased at Mr . Bancts ' s shop , having over the door the " Crown and Cushion , " and opened , for the sale of religious tracts and Bibles , a copy of " Shelley's Poems . " He then sent np bills against Mr Bancxi , for selling « uch worts , and the Grand Jury found the bills . ( Hear , hear , and a laugh . | What wai the result ? The Government was in a hobble , for they could not bat prosecute Mr . Bancts . But they did no such thing . They informed Mr . Heywood fl ! he pleaded guilty , he should not be sentenced , and thus avoided the alternative « f prosecuting Mr . Bandcs .
Mr . Fo&hak moved the second resolution , to the effect that the public viewed with indignation the attempt of a Liberal Government to revive such prosecutions . Ho called the attention of the meeting to the law on the subject , and read an extract from Mr ? Hetherington ' s defence , In which Mr . Hetherington , fn the words of Jefferson , termed the law under which he was tried , a " Judiciary forgery , " and a " fraudulent mistranslation . " ilr . John Stephens seconded the resolution , In a very luminous address .
Sir . JOH . f Cleave rose tod supparted the resolution . He said , that altbonghhe was bound over w keep the pence to " our Sovereign Lady the Queen , " be wns not under any apprehensions that his recognisance would be estreated fur-attending that meeting . He attended there solely as beiBg a fellow sufferer ; and aa being therefore one who could well describe the circumstances under which Mr . Hetberington was placed . If Henry of Exeter had consulted Henry Httherington and himself , he thought that tbey would put him of Exeter in the way of letting the prosecution alone , ( Hear , and Iaughter . \ As the Tories always fuund the WbJgs willing tools to do thsir dirty wort , so let them ( the Whigs ) say what they would to the contrary , these prosecutions were at the instance of the Home Office .
When Mr . Heywood waa being prosecuted , Mr . Moxon issued a prospectus , stating that he was republishlng Shelley's works ; and the b « ast of the prospectus was , that the suppressed passages would appear in faiJ . Of course the rich , man could indulge his full meal of blasphemy under gilded covers ; for those were books not for the poor but for the rich . Forsooth the anxiety of Exeter and tho Government was for the souls of the poor and net of the rich . It wa 3 a monstrous thing to hold a bootseller responsible for the contents « f every pamphlet that might be on his shelves , as a tradesman bad something else to do besides rummaging them to ase « rtain their
contents . He considervd it an act of gross injustice that , after Mr . Heywood had be « n set at large , and' bis ( Mr . Cleave's ) term of impTriswunfeBt remitted ifor although tbey were tind enough to t » ke hfs £ 20 fine , tbey did not enforce the full term of his incarceration ) that Mr . Hethericgton 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 hnd been subjected in prison , and congratulated himself upon big having pissed through K ) many fiery ordeals of Government prosecutions withou-. a hair of his head Wing jinked , snd called upon the meeting to exert their best endeavours to secure the immmediate release of Mr . Hetherington from prison .
Several other speakers utldresse * the meeting , after which the petition in favour of Mr . Hetherinston was adopted . Tliants were voted to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

TRIAL OF THE EARL OF CARDIGAN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS . Tuesday las ' , was the day fixed for the trial of the Earl of ' Cardigan , on the charge of feloniotiBly sbootin * at Capt . Harvey Tuckett . The Counsel for the prosecution were the Atf orney-Generai and Mr . Waddin # ton , the Solicitor-General being absent from indisposition : and for the noble prisoner , Sir William Follett , Mr . Sergeant Wraugbam , and Mr . Adolphus . As a . quarter before eleven , L * rd Denman entered the Hui . se , as Lord High Steward , preceded by the mace , and took his eeat on the wooi « ck . Prayers were then read by the Right Rer . Dr . Shnttleworth , the Bieh ;> p of Cfrichester—being the junior bishop . Pravers havinr concluded ,
U ? on arriTal in fhe House , Garter and Black Rod took their places ai the bar , and the Lord Speaker proceeded to the woolsack , where , b » iug Beated , prayers were read . The C . 'erk Assistant of' the Parliaments then called over the LoTds , beginning "mih the junior Baron . Tee Lords having been called , the Clerks of the Crown ia Chancery , and in the Queen'a Bench , jointly made three reverence a ; and ttie Clerk of th » Crown in Chancery , oa his knee , delivered ihe Commission to the L"rd Speaker , who gave it to the Qerk of the Crown , in the Queen '? Bench , to read , and both clerks retired with the like reverentes to the table .
The commission app /> intin £ a Lord Hi ^ h Steward being read , Garter and Biack Rod , making thdr reverences to the Throne , proceeded from iht b . ar to the woolsack , where they took their places o-n the right hand fide of the Lord Hifih Steward in his place , and bo ; h holding the staff , presented it upon their knees to his Lordship ^ vrhen his Lordfhip rising , and preceded by the G . im-r and Black Hod , and the Purse Bearer , with reverence to the Tnrone , took his seat in the chair provided for his Grace on the uppermost step but ono of th - Throne , and delivered the staff to Biack Rod to hold on hia ri ^ ht hand , Garter and Purse Bearer landing on his left .
Iho prisoner , on reaching the bar , made three reverences ; one to bis Grace tho Lord High Steward , tha other to the Peers « i ea ^ b side ; his Gr ace and all the Peers returning tho salute ; the prisoner knelt , and his Gra .-e bade him rise , when he was conducted to a stool placed for him within the bar . The Lord High Steward then directed proclamation to be » i ; ain made for siiei : ce ; and hia Grace acquainted the prisoner with the charge . The prisoner "was then arraigned ; and pleading Not Guilty , proclamation was made t-y the Sergeantat-Araas for all persons to coins forth and give evidence .
His Grace the Lord High Steward , with their Lorash ' ips' leave , then removed to his > -eat at the table , preceded b > Garter , Black Ryd , and the Purse Bearer , as before , and his Grace being beated , they took their places ; Black Rod Fitting oa a stool at i . he coTE ? r of the table on h ; 3 Grace' ? ri ^ ht hand , a : m holding the staff ; Garter sitting on a stool on Black Rod ' s right hand , tha Sergeant at the lower er . d ' of the table oa the same side , and tho Purse Bearer at Ihe upper corner on the loft . The priroiipr having been arraigned and pleaded " Not csiiltv , "
Mr . WADDiXGTOJf opened the pleadi » £ « , stating that the ttrss count of the indictment charged the i roble prisoner that he did , on the 12 ; h September , 184 jJ , in the parish of Wandsworth , feloniou ? iy ihvoe at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett , wni ; * intent to murder him ; the secouQ couiit chained his ! Lordsh . pwj : h intent to maim and disfigare ; und the . third count to do some grievous bodiiy > . arm . i The Attor- \ ey-Gi ~ nfral th « n ro > e to open the eass for the prosecution . He ? aid ic was gratifying to think that the charge against the uoble person ¦ at ;> : e bar did noi imply aiy degree of moral turpitude , aad if his Lurship were found guilty , the coaviction wouia reflect no discredit on the iliufiriou 3 order to wkich he belonged . He had , however ,
; been guilty ef a breach of the statute laws of these realais , which , without regard to the position of the party icplicsted , their Lordships were bound to respect and enSorc .-. The indictment contained no capital charge , and ulthou ^ h a wound was iuflicted : the prosecutor Iw . > very properly restricted the i charge to ' firing at with intent . " The learned gentle-> man then repealed the counts of the indictment , pointed out the beiri . ig of the law upon each , and said it would be for tboir lordships to see that the offence charged in the dififereiit counts was fully established . They would hear the facts of the case sta ' . ed in evidence . Bathe would cow state to their Lordships the substance of that evidence , which they would hear in detail from the lips of the witnesses . On the
¦ 12 ca of September , the Earl of Cardigan fought a duel with Captain Harvey Tuckett , and wounded him . On that dsy , two carriages were seea approaching Wirnbledon-common , and u was evidtn ; to those who noticed them that the preliminaries to a duel were taking place . The combatants fired one shot each ineffectually . At the exchange of the second shot Captain Tuckett was wounded , but ( and no man rejoiced at it more than the Earl af Cirdig&s ) not dan ^ ercu'ly . Mr . Dann , the miller , came up , and arrested the Earl of Cardigan , and brought him before a magis : rate at "Vfandsworth . He was committed , and his trial was to take place at the Central Criminal Court . The seconds on the occasion of the duel would in like manner be tried at the Central Crminsd Court , and on that account it would be indecerons on his part , aa
Attorney-General , to call tkese gentlemea aa -witnesses on the present trial . It weuld be for their LordVhipa to decide whether all tke eounti of the indictment would be fully bore out by evidence . He at once acquitted the Ewl of Cardi jam « f any unfairnees in tho duel . Something had beea said abont the foraitionjof the pistols used oa 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 against his life . He acquitted the Noble Earl in like jranner of any malice in the proceeding . He iinnly 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 t » sustain it . He would refer next to the legal authorities , by which it appeared to him that any person wi » would kill another in a duel , would be guilty of the crime of murder . Hale drew the distinction £ b-

It could har , dl f be auppoaed tluU tM Earl of Cardigan and Captain Harvey Tuckett met aooitWitallr af Witebleden Common . ' That'a
iudden quarrel took plaet , which wtt deeided On the spot . That would hardly b © Buppoeerf . In the eeoond volume of " Moodrs Crown Cases , " page 40 , a case was reported , in which the question referred to the judget wtu , whether , in answer to an indictmont for shooting at with intent to murder , it would be a sufficient defence that , if death engued , it would not be murder , but manslaughter . The Learned Judge then decided that such would not be a good defence . Justico Littledale and another Learned Judge were the only'dissentients from that judgment * The Eart of Cardigan would tare an advantage which Peers before the same tribunal had not on . former occasions . He would 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 . lie was sure , however , that their Lordships would , on this occasion , uninfluenced by any degree of eloquence , or ingenuity which may be exhibited , sustain the hi gh character as a judicial tribunal which they'had so long enjoyed . ' . Thomas , Hunt Dann , examined by Mr . Waddin * . tow—On the l 2 tb of September ho saw . a carriage approaching in the neighbourhood of his mill , on Wimbledon Common . In a short time he observed another carriage . One of the gentlemen came outr ' 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 .
Socn after 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 jnaAe bla wif towards them . When he came within atwtut fifteen sards of them they fired auain at each other . They had got fresh pistols ; in the mean while he was running up . The two seconds had handed the pistols to them . He found that the gentlomau , who as h « afterwards ascertained was Captain Tuckett , was wounded . He then went up to the parties , and told one of the the gentlemen that be must consider himself in his . custody . That gentleman was . the Earl of Cardigan . He took from him a pistol , which he had . in his band . He saw a fifth gentleman , who was wounded . After taking into custody Lord Cardigan , he did the same to tho others . He was asked to let the woundedifenxlem&a jeointo bis house . * ' The
five gentlemen came , then , to his house . H < j vrafi then asfced to let the wounded gentleman go home . He did so on receiving tho cards 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 was uot one of them . One of the gentlemeu wrote some ' . bing in pencil on the b-Ack of the card . In consequence of receiving that card he went to a house in Hamilton Place . That was on September 18 th , and the number of the house was 15 . He asked to see Captain Harvey Tuckett . He saw a gentleman whom he bad previously seen fighting the duel , and who gave him his card . Ho took Lord Cardigan , on the 12 th of September , to the station-house in Wandsworth . He gave the pistols to the inspector tlwra . Earl Cardigan c'a med one of them as his . He afterwards saw the acaical gentleman whom he had seen at tlie duel .
Of her vritaessea were examined , but their testimony was not important . After which ' Tiw Actorkky Gknekal eaid , " Thisywy Lords , is the oase 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 tkere ia no . cape that calls on the prisoner for an answer . It is aa , attompt to prove a ease without sufficient evidence . Your Lordships will observe that in the first count of the indictment , the prisoner is charged with feloniously and uniawfuJIy intending io moot at . Harvey Garnet Pliipps Tuckett , wuh a pistol loaded with gunpowder and ball , inteudiag 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 disabia the saiao person ; a » d in tho
third count , with intending to do him some grievous bodiiy iujury . How , I apprehend it is not necessary to state anything to your Lordships in order to show that the prosecutor is bound to prove the Christian acd surname of the person agaiuBt 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 thert is do evidence whatever to show that the person against whom the shot was discharged was ICr . Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett . Therefore , I contend that they have entirely failed in an essential part of this prosecution . My Lords , this point is expressly decided in tho case of the King v . Robinson , iu 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 tho present case .
The Attorney-Gekbiul insisted that there was enough of evidence to establish the identity of the Captain Tuckett sworn to by tho witnesses as the gentleman shot at by the Noble Earl . The Learned Gentleman said , I believe there is no human being who , having heard tho evidence out of Court , would hes- ' ate drawing tho inference . I believe that tho ' 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 bo drawn is to be received . According to the rules of
evidence , would any person out of a Court of Justice doubt for a moment , that this is the same individual who fought on the l' 2 th ot September . It' the inference would have been drawn ou » of a Conrt of Justice , there was not a scintilla of evidence from which 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 thick that thia is not the same individual , of course you will say " not guilty upon my honour , " but you will not stop tho prosecution upon the objection which must be considered a trivial oue . Sir Wm . Foj . lett replied .
Strangers were ordered to withdraw , whilo their Lordships coasidered the point raised by Sir Wai , Foilett . On our return to the House , we understood their Lordships to have decided the objection valid ; and we found the Lord High Steward at the Chair putting the question to each Peer—Guilty or not Guilty , e . g . — " John Sing leton , Lord Lyndhurst , how says yuur Lordship , is Henry Thomas , Eai-1 oi Cardigan guilty of tnis felony whereof he btands indicted , ornot guilty . " Whereupo * each Peer , upon his name bein * called , rose and placing his right hand upon his breast , said , Not Guilty upou 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 Lord High Steward standing on the steps of the Throne himsolf , s aid , " Not Guilty , upon my honour . " The Sergeant at Arms 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—M JameB Thomas Earl of Cardigan , you have been indicted for a felony , for which yon nave been tried by your Peers , and I have the satisfaction of de-Oaring to you that their Lordships have pronounced you " Not Guilty" by a unanimous sentence The Dumber I have uot precisely at this moment before me , or 1 would have been glad to have stated it to your Lordship , but their Lordships have unanimously said " Not Guiky . " The Earl of Cardigan then bowed and retired .
Tho Proclamation dissolving the Commission was t h en read , au . i his Grace , the Lurd 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 the Commission was dissolved at half-pail five o ' clock .

BRONTEXVRE O'BRIEN . TO THE RADICALS OF ENGLAND , WALES , SCOTLAND , AND IRELAND . Fellow-Chartists , —The fell monster , tyranny has nyt only spread misery , woe , aad . destitution throughout the length and breadth of the empire—it has not only rendered the homes of the productive clawes cheeriew aad unhappy , but it cas torn from society some of the noblest patriots of the day—men endowed with the most fertile minds—mem whow beart « yearned over the nation ' i lls , Md whose bosom * were the receptacle * of the eacrod flama of patriotism .
These ' nobles of nature , " having dared io battle the eomm » n enemy , and vindicate our inalienable rights , were pounced upon by eerruption's host dragged before intere * ted Judges—tried , uot by Jari « g of their peen , but by Juries packed and prejudiced , and , of course , doomed to protracted terras of imprisonment n unhealthy dungeons , whic ' ti punishment haa been , in many cases , and is now being aggravated by insult and contumely , heaped upon them by- j gno ; ant but well-paid Jacks in office .

PBOK OI 7 B . LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thurtdap Evening , Feb . 18 , Quarter to Seven ., , . City News , and Coumbrciai , Revjbw . —The announcement of an addition to the . funded debt , to the extent of six millions—founded oh authority usually well informed in siich 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 one moment fallen fully one per cenL below the rates of last week . To account for this fall , various rumours wero- propagated ; but the general belief of well-informed persons , is , that the true cause may be found in some heavy tsajes of
money' etoek , which assisted the operations of the bears , who commenced buying in their aocourit 3 , and realieing their profits . The market has since rallied , but not to the point at which the decline commenced . The public have Jately sold , beyond qnq 8 lionf considerably more stock than they have bought , —a circumstance which tells its own tale , from whatever cause it has originated . The funds closed today at the following rates : —Consols ( 3 per cents . ) 88 j ; Three-and-a-half per cents . flGif ; Reduced Three-and-a-half per cente .. 97 |; Exchequer Biils , 5 s . to 7 s . premium ; Bank Stock , is also going bacJc , being now worth no more than 163 , to 1 ( 53 ^ . . Fjnsbury Wobkino Mbn's Association . —Last evening , ( Wednosday , ) this association held its
weekly meeting at its rooms , No 0 , Little Whito 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 lato trial of the Right Honourable the Earl of Cardigan , in the House of Lords , Feb . lGth , 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 the poor , inasmuch , as Che email flaw io . this indictment was fatal to the prosecution , whereas , the strong objections that wero raised on the late trial of John Frost aud his fellow-prison ere , were declared tobo of no avail ; and that it is further the opinion of this association , that had tbe same forms of
trial been adopted in both oases , namely , trial by their peers , the latter men nerer would have been found guilty . Therefore , as Lord Cardigan has been Acquitted / we deem if another reason why John Frost and his compatriots should be restored to their friends and their country , and compensation awarded to them for their lonsi-sufftjring . " A resolution was also passed , approbatory of Colonel Thompson ' s election plan , and recommending it to the Chartists of the country . Hailwav Accident . —Yesterday , on the Blackwa . ll railway , a fatal accident occurred , owing to the propelling rope becoming loose , from the quantity of ram which has latterly fallen , whereby several persons were dreadfully maimed , anji 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 b ^ the Russians , haa fallen into the hands of the Circassians . The contest was very sanguinary , for the assailants stormed the placa with their accustomed fury , and the garrison defended themselves with desperate obstinacy . After repeated repulses , and the loss of many men , tho Circassians at Jeugth forced their way into the fort , and put tho 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 ehore , which the Circassians completely gutted . The blockade is much more remiss than iormerly , and the Russians seem at present to be weary of a war which haa caused them so much trouble and loss ot men . —Sun
