      SONG FOB THE CHARTISTS . Bkita 3 « kii s aona arise , arise , All your interests blend in one ; Fobly fsea yon * enemies , Burl injustice from its throne . Freedom's banners now unfold , Basil determine to be free ; Imitate your sires of old , The contest is for liberty . Now ft mighty phalanx form , With the brave O'Connor join ; Firmly brave the impending storm , For the Charter all combine . Britain ' s sons with courage fight . Each determine to be free ; put the factions both to flight , The contest is for liberty . Britons , Trill you still submit To either Whig or Tery power ; Will you cringB beneath their feet . Or kneel their favours to implore ? No ! let eTery Briton cry , =-We're determined to be free ; Or straggling for our Charter die ; The contest is for liberty . gsa ! noble O'Connor , our chieftain , -well greet thee , The foe to the tyrant , and friend to the slave ; Ths bold sons of toil in their thousands will meet thee And honour thy name as a patriot brave . We'H floek to thy standard , and in voices of thunder , Pr >> claim to the world that we yet will be fres ; And tear from the tyrants their ill-gotten plunder , Mid shouts of O'Connor and sweet liberty .

      Hark ! 'tis the voice cf the nation awaking , And every effort to crush it is vain ; The Charter ' s the -watchword while tyrants are quaking The millions are bent upon breaking the chain Our banner * are waving , each hurricane braving , No dangsr shall daunt us , we yet shall be free ; The trumpets are sounding , each heart is rebounding , With O'Connor , the Charter , and sweet liberty .

      LEEDS . The . Leeds iMFROYEHKjrr Act . — CosscMPnox of Smoke — We are glad , for the take of the inhabitants of thislax ^ e town , thai the powers of the new Improvement Act , on the subject of the coasuinpuon or prevention of smoke from steamengine chimneys , furnaces , & . c , are somewhat stringent ; not more so , indeed , man they ought to be , and we do Lope thai possessing the power the Council will be determined to compel all proprietors of steam engines and furnace 3 , within theic jurisdiction , to adopt such means as will abate the intolerable nuisance to which the inhabitants of Leeds as well as other large manufacturing towns have been eo long subjected . Much has been said and written on this topic , and we ar * surprised to find that even yet there are parties so stupid , or so wilfully blind to their own interests , as to argue iha ; there are yet no means discovered by which smoke can either be

      prevented or consumed . Various plans have been bronchi forward to effect the object , and amongst Others by Mr . Williams and Mr . Rodda , who , we believe , have fitted their apparatus to several mills in this neighbourhood , that of the latter being higbJy spoken of , though we haTe not yet witnessed il 3 operation . But on Saturday last , we visited several mills in Leeds , to the Bteam-engines of whicn hid been attached a recently-patented apparatus , in-Tented by Mr . Prichard , of Burley iiiils , near Leeds ; and if the effect in all cases wouid be the same aj in those where this apparatus is ' already in operation—and we see no reason to doubt that it would be so—it will reflect no credit on the manufacturing community generally , if they wait until they are compelled to remove a nuisance under which all large manufacturing towns hare so long Buffered , and of which the inhabitants have so much reason to complain .

      GLOSSOP . —A correspondent sends u « the following statement : —Fifteen persons have been arrested in this neighbourhood , and committed , to take their trials at the forthcoming assize , for offences connected with the recent turn-out . Of this nnmber , four have been liberated on bail ; the remainder are now in the county eaol of Derby . Two boys , named Samuel Howard and Lot Lawton , together with Betty- Lawton , have been committed on a chaige of felony , with intent to commit murder on the person of Joseph Cooper , a stout young man , about twenty-five years of age , the son of a factory master redding at Hclehouse , in the parish of Glossop . In this case , the magistrates , George Andrew , Moses Hadfield , Robert Ashton , and George "William Newton , Erqra ., refused to accept of bail .

      Lot Lawton is sixteen years of age , and Betty Lawton , hi 3 mother , sixty-two . Immediately after their committal , they were plated npon , and hand-cuffed to , the Sheffield coach , on their way to Derby , in the charge of Joseph Oates , constable for Wbitneld , in the parish , amid the shrieks of the woman ' s children and aged bnsband , who is very infirm aad helpless , and cries of " shame ! shame ! " from the spectators . The Lawtons have always borne very respectable characters , and have brought up a family of thirteen children , none of whom , before this event , ever appeared before a Magistrate , either for offence or crime . Never was more paltry evidence given in a Court of Jnstice than that which was given on this occasion against an evidently innocent boy and hi 3 aged

      mother . A committee has been appointed for the purposes of raising a fund for the defence of the above victim ^ they being poor and not having themselves wherewith to employ in their behalf the services of gentlemen of the long robe . The walls of this place have been placarded with addresses , calling upon the people to come forward and subscribe their mites on this occasion . The committee earnestly call upon the work-people employed in the factories to subscribe weekly and liberally , ia order that , on the day of trial , the needful may not be wanting , nor the victims sacrificed at-the altar of tyranny and cruelty . The committee meet every evening at the house of Mr . James Coe , kat manufacturer , Howard-town , Glossop , where subscriptions will be thankfully received .

      " Semji 5 g Bor . \ D the Hat . "—The be ^ ear ' s imd . al petition is ushered into the columns . of the Pilot with a very palpable hint that every succeeding year adds to the cogency" of the claim ; and it is further notified that " to neglect the collection of the fund in &Dy parish en this occasion would be treason to the cause in which he ( the first Catholic Lord Mayor ) struggles . " The hat goes ronnd on Sunday , the 30 th of October , just one day before Mr . O'ConnelTs term of the mayoralty , with its emoluments , expires . " The people , " say the barefaced trustees , are

      prepared for the call , and feel that to neglect it now would be , practically , to coalesce with the enemies of the country . " The people prepared for . it ! Is it possible that , after the famine of the summer , the alleged ruinous prices of stock &t fairs and markets , with 50 other similar evils , the people , meaning thereby the starving peasantry , are psating for the arrival of a day to disgorge their superflc ' . us earnings into the exchequer of Burgh-quay ? If so , there must Lave been misstatements and exaggerations in mor ; quarters than one . — Times Correspondent .

      Scspzcted Case of MrsDEE a * d Robbfrt at Cabdiff . —The neighbourhood of Bute-street and places adjacent have been greatly excited , in consequence of the death of Captain Carter , whose body was found on Sunday morning last , in an erect position , between the lock gates under the railwaybridge , crossing the new-cut at the bottom of Butestreet . The singularity of the position of the body ( being nearly midwaj between the two gates , and therefore centrally erected in the lock , * ) together with the finding of & pocket-book outside the dock , gave rise to reports that the deceased had been murdered , robbed , and thrown in . Two boatmen , the one _ named Thomas Davies , and the other John Richards , alias John Moss , wers taken into custody under suspicion of knowing something

      of this tragical event , bat weie both dischargea on Monday , At an inquest before Lewis Reeoe , Esq ., Coroner ; held at the Bute Anns , in Bute-street , on Monday morning . The body of the deceased was examined , and found to be perfectly free from any external bruises or wounds . After the Coroner's recapitulation of the evidence , the Jury returned the following verdict s— We find , from the evidence adduced , that the unfortunate deceased was drowned m the junction between the new and old canal , but now or by what means he came there we have no reason to adjudge , otherwise than by accident . We folly concur , however , in the mysterious and suspicions appearances touching the absence of the tooney kaoYm to have been in his possession prior to his death , and consider there is every probability of his haviDg been robbed .

      Strike is Biemikgham . —The Birmingham papers state that a general strike for the new prices has taken place among the tin-plate workers of Staffordshire ; and a similar strike exists to a considerable extent in Birmingham . HoitESTT . —As Mr . Wright , of Holies-street , Claremarket , was leaving a house which he had occupied for some time in Denmark-street , St . Giles ' s , a few days ago , he allowed a poor man named Williams , a carver and gilder , who has been for upwards of eighteen months oat of work and was in the deepest distress , to remove some lumber which appeared to beofnovalne . The following day , however , Williams called upon his benefactor with a small box containing £ 20 , which had been deposited several years sinoe and forgotten among the lumber . We trust that the poor man , whose necessities must haTe been a powerful temptation to dishonesty , was adequately rewarded .

      The Botlb Faib . —This fair was held here to-day . The prices obtained by . the few persons who sold have proved most disheartening . There was an extensile supply of cattle ; but the prieeB offered did not generally amount to the sum paid for the same stock last November or May . The only lot of bullocks which we heard were sold were those belonging to Mr . Denis . This gentleman disposed of twenty ( out of a lot of thirty ) at £ 10 7 s . 6 d . each , although he refused , on the 4 th of April last , £ 11 5 s . each for the entire lot . Fat sheep sold at from 353 . to 40 s . ; lambs , from 18 s . to 22 s . ; milch cows , from £ 8 to £ 10 ; fat cows , from £ 8 to £ 9 . A few horses were disposed of at from £ 8 to £ 20 . Pigs were very low . Wool brought 16 s . per stone . —Boyle Gazette .

      Lisbubx Faib . —The antumn fair of Lisburn was held last week . The show of horses was greatly inferior to that of other yeare . There were a few handsome young horses , adapted for saddleorharness , offered for Bale , but most of the buyers of the English market having gone to the great fair of Balinasloe , very few , even of the lowest description , changed hands . The show of cattle in Smithfield market was very large . Owing , however , to the curious feeling at present existing between the farmer and dealer , comparatively trifling sales were effected . Some prime springers went off at from £ 10 to £ 12 . Fat

      heifers were in pretty good demand , and brought fair prices ; but inferior cattle of all descriptions were scarcely looked at , and were disposed of at very low rates , On the whole , it may be stated that there ia more of imagination than reality in the panic which prevails so powerfully at present among the graziers . No foreign grazier can compete with the Irish farmer in producing the highest descriptions of stock , and the prices now offered appear lower than they really are , because of the unnaturally high rates obtained during the last two or three years .

      RIOTS AT NEWBURY . The town of Nawbury , Berkshire , has been the scene of disturbances , in which property to a serious amount haB been wantonly destroyed . The circumstances which gave rise to the riotous proceedings are briefly as follows : there are within the borough of Newbnry , two open fields , known as East and We 9 t Fields , which are held in severally by the respective owners of the soil , from or about the 8 £ h of November in each year , until the corn of the ensuing summer is wholly cleared : when for very many years prior and up to the year 1836 , and again to the present time , they were thrown open for the pasturage of all kinds of cattle , cot only of the proprietors of those particular Lands , but of all freeholders and inhabitant householders within the town and parish of Newbnry , without any

      stint or distinction whatsoever , and without reference to the possession or occupation of land . There were no fences to prevent the cattle depasturing there frem straying ont of the fields into the public roads aad streets ; they , consequently , when tnrned out , acquired the habit of straying , and became restless , and frequently impounded . It was decided upon that these fields should be enclosed , under the provisions of the Common Fields Enclosure Act , of the 6 th and 7 th of William IV ., c 115 . The decision was confirmed at a public meeting of the inhabitants . A large portion of the lower classes declared themselves oppoeed to the plan , and expressed their intention of resorting to summary measures for their own defence if the enclosure should be persisted in . An opportunity soon occurred . Two horses belonging to one of

      the townsmen named Aldndge were impounded . The owBer of the horses with a large number of his partisans determined on rescuing them . They proceeded to the place whither the animals were being le . 1 , and committed an unprovoked assvult on the men who had them in their possession . Mr . R . Fuller Graham , a selscitor of the town , put himself in communication with Aldridge , ( who led on the mob to tbe attack ) and informed bim that if he and his party were contending for what they considered their rights , there wbb a plain , straightforward msnreT in which they should seek te establish them , and that if they would take the conrse which the tew pointed out to them , and bring the question before a legal tribunal , he would pay the costs of all parties , be the verdict what it might He failed , however , to satisfy the mob , who received his proposal with contempt , and replied to him by the most aggravating insults . The numbers soon increased to some hundreds , some of whom were the most difsolnte and reckless inhabitants

      of the town . A largs portion ef Mr . Graham ' s property was destroyed , several hundred yards of iron railing , shrubs , &e , being torn up , broken to pieces , and thrown into the road . A body of constables were sent out by direction of the Mayer , but they were speedily withdrawn . Is an address to tie inhabitants ~ ef Newbury , issued by Mr . Graham , it is asserted tbat Aldridge , tbe ringleader of the lawless and unprincipled mob , had been in communication with tbe Rev . Dr . Binney , who was appointed to the rectory of Newbnry three or four years since by Lord Melbourne . A full statement of these outrages is to be placed , without delay , before the Home Secretary . [ This ia the consequence of an nnju&t seizure of the common allotment lands of the parish by the Ghurch banking party . Through a similar infamous Act of the present Parliament , the skopocrats have been induced by bribery and corruption to sell the rights of non-electors . This same business was on Surday handled in St . James ' s Park . ]—Ecanzg Star .

      CHESTER SPECIAL COMMISSON . Wednesday Evekihg . —The special commission issued for the trial of the prisoners charged with the commission of offences in various parts of Cheshire , daring tho recent tarn-oat in the manufacturing districts , was opened this afternoon * with the customary formalities at the Chester Castle . The judges appointed to try the prisoners are Lord Abinger . Sir E . H . Alderson , and Sir C . Cresswell They arrived at Chester about four o ' clock this day , by railway , and having been met by the sheriff of the county . Mr . E . D . Davenport , proceeded to Chester Castle , and opened the commission , after which the Court was adjourned until half-past ten o'clock on the following day . The whole ceremony did not last longer than five minutes .

      The calendar contains the names of 66 persons , more than half of whom are charged with taking part in an attack on the Stockport workhouse , and the rest are variously charged with assembling to disturb the peace , with conspiring to prevent by intimidation and violence other parties from following their lawful occupations , rioting , uttering seditious speeches , and conspiring to excite di 3 affeotion and discontent against the laws and government of the realm . Since the printing of the calendar , the number of the prisoners has been increased by fresh committals ; but it is expected , as many of them will be tried at one and the same time , that the whole of

      the cases will be disposed of by Saturday nex * . The case which will probably excite the greatest interest ig that of the three prisoners charged with rioting at Brookfield , near Glossop , and demolishing the mill aDd dwelling-house of ilr . Samuel Shepley , who , it will bereoollected , fired upon the mob who attacked his premises , and wounded these three prisoner . A description is given m the calendar of the different degrees of education which the prisoners have received , and from this statement it appears that about eighteen can neither read nor write , seventeen read imperfectly , twenty-three both read and write , and seven read and write well .

      THURSDAY , OCT . 6 . The Three Learned Judges , Lord Chief Baron AuiNqee , Sir E . H . Aldeeson , and Sir C . Cbesswell , having attended divine service in the Cathedral , entered the Crown Court at twelve o ' clock this day . There was a large assemblage of persons in and out of the Courts . The usual formalities having been observed , the following gentlemen in the Grand Inquest answered to their names : —Mr . E J . Loyd , of Oldneldhall , Foreman ; Messrs . H . Main waring , of Peoverhall ; R . G . Leycester , of Toft-hall ; R . G . Perryn , of

      Trafford-hall ; J . W . Tatton , of Wittinsbaw ; G . F . Wilbraham , of Delamere-honse j S . Jacsen , of Newtonbank ; J . B . Clegg , of Thurstanton-hall ; C . Ford , of Abbeyfield ; G . J . Shackerley , of Whatcroft ; Sir E . S . Walker , of Chester , Knight ; J . R . Daintry , of Northroad ; the Hon . C . E . Cust , of Laasowe Castle ; Messrs . C . S . Swettenham , of Somerford ; T . C . Cnalton , of Chaltou-lodge ; T . Hibbert , of Birtles ; G . C . Antrobus , of Eaton-hall ; J . Tomkinson , of Davenham ; C . Stanley , of Denham ; E . Leigh , of Joddrell-ball ; fcJir P . Townsend , of Wincham ; and Mr . J . Brocklehurst , of Hordesfleld , M . P .

      The petty jurymen were chiefly selected from Birkenhead , opposite Liverpool . ' The Grand Jury being sworn , Lord Abinger addressed them as follows : —Gentlemen of the Grand Jury , you are assembled at this unusual season to discharge a very painful , bnt a very important duty . A due regard for the public safety makes it essential tbat all tumultuous and unlawful assemblies of tbe people should be pat dswn by force , it necessary , and punished with the utmost rigour of the law . At the same time we cannot reflect on the occurrence which have recently taken place in the manufacturing districts without mixed emotions of compassion , and , if I may say so , indignation—compassion at the weakness and ignorance of those deluded multitudes , who imagined they could effect tbe purposes they had in view

      by force and violence , and who , as they nevtr fail to do , become the victims of their own delusion , and auBat misery and privation , and many of them punishmentindignatien at the artful contrivances of those who , to serve their own private objects , and their own political ends , had promoted and excited the delusion of the poor and industrious classes by addressing to their minds deceitful arguments , unfounded in reason or in sense , and had then endeavoured to take advantage of the delusion they had caused , in order that they might thereby carry into effect their own objects . I need hardly remind you that it is one of tbe evils incident to a nation of great manufacturing and commercial prosperity , that the country which was flourishing from that prosperity should occasionally be subject to great reverses . It is the nature and habit of

      industry and enterprise to keep full the channels of supply , sometimes to overflowing , and whenever a check to . the demand occurs there must follow for a while a suspension of employment , a diminution in the price of manufactured produce and in the wages of labour , and very often , unhappily , distress and misery of the manufacturing classes . The history of our own country furnishes examples of this kind . A bad harvest either at home or abroad ; the blockade of foreign ports with which we are . accustomed to traffic ; a war with a nation which takes a large quantity of our manufactured goods ; tbe disturbance of friendly relations between this and other nations with which we have commercial intercourse ; tha uncertainty ' of the laws which affect trade and commerce ; sometimes the pnblie agitation of the great questions or principles on which commerce

      depends ; sometimes even the opinion that the Government is n « t wise enough to propose , nor strong enough to carry important measures for the maintenance and advancement of the public weal , —all these are circumstances which tend to paralyse industry and the enterprise of commercial men ; and at the Bame time to suspend all those advantages which the country was before gaining from a prosperous condition of trade and commerce . It would be easy , if necessary , to trace many , if not all , of these causes which have in succession or combination produced that distress we save lately witnessed . I stated just now that we cannot view without emotions of compassion the situation of the industrious classes , who , not having a competent knowledge to form a judgment of tLeir own as to the ¦ principles or the rights of property , or upon the

      questions on which their own prosperity is involved , imagine that they can by force and violence dictate terms to their masters , and thereby rescue themselves from a degree of privation and discomfort , against which no Government , however it might be formed , and no law , whatever might be its intention , could effectually socure them . Nevertheless you will find many , in that situation of life to which I have just alluded , and with that infirmity of judgment easily inflamed , when subjects are tonched on relating to their own means of existence and their state of discomfort , induced by crafty persons , who excite and mislead them , to imagine that they are the fittest persons to govern themselves , and that they ought to have an equal share , if not a superior share , in the condnct of the Government and in the

      making of laws . I am afraid that tbe manufacturing classes have been of late the dupes of this sort of persuasion ; and you will find in the occurrences which have called you together sundry examples of this delusion . You will find that there is a society of persons who go by the name of Chartists , and who , if they have not excited or fomented those outrages which will be brought under your notice , have , nevertheless , taken advantage of them for their own purposes , have endeavoured to prevent the unfortunate people from returning to their work , and sought so to direct them that they might be conducive to the attainment of political objects . And wh 3 t ia the object of the Charter , which these men are seeking ? What are the points of the Charter ? Annual Parliaments , Universal Suffrage , and Vote by Ballot . Yet , Gentlemen , you will find by tbe

      evidence which will be produced oafore you , that it has been inculcated upon many misguided persons that the sovereign remedy for all abuses , and the only means of putting themselves in possession of such a share of power as would enable them to vindicate their own rights and secure themselves against oppression , is by the enactment of what they call the People's Charter . In what a strange situation this country would be placed if those who haveoo property were to possess a preponderating voice in the making of the laws ! These unhappy men do not consider that the first object of civilized society is the establishment and preservation of property and the security of person . What , then would be the state of aDy country if multitudes were to make the laws for regulating property , or were permitted toemploy physical forca to restrain individuals from employing

      their own labour according to their own judgment , or preventing their subsistence ? The foundation of civilized society may be considered to consist in tbe protection cf property and the security of person ; and if these two objects were removed , society must be dissolved . What a strange effect , then , would tbe establishment of a system of Universal Suffrage produce ; for under it every man , though possessing no property , wonld have a voice in the choice of the representation of the people . The necessary consequences of this syBtem would be , that those who haveno property would make laws for those vho have property , and the destruction of the monarchy and aristocracy must neces-Earily ensue . I do not pretend to judge the motives of those individuals who entertain such views as I have been alluding tor but they seem to forget that it is impossible to establish a perfectly democratic representative assembly , in the formation of which every man in the country should have a voice , without eventually

      destroying the monarchy and the influence of property , and leading to the creation ol a term of Government which would become in the end an odions tyranny . Such is the history of all attempts to establish a democracy in countries where a government consisting or mixed elements formerly existed . There is a country which cannot be spoken of without respect and attachment , as emanating from ourselves—I allude to America , from which you may collect what security for property iB afforded by a pure republic . In the different states of America there are pure democratic associations elected by Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot ; and some of these states have recently exhibited the regard paid to property by democratic assemblies , by having protested against paying the public creditor , and disregarded their own obligation to obey their own law made for his security . If Buch a system of democracy were established in England , the first consequence would be , that the security of property would be re-

      Untitled Article

      moved j the public creditor and all commercial accumulationa would be destroyed ; and , finally , or perhaps the first object aimed at , would be toe deatnictlon of property in land . There would be a universal agrarian law . The formation of such a Government in a country like this must work universal ruin and distress { and , after inflicting the most bitter of all tyranny , that of a democratic assembly , would terminate in a despotism . But it appears that person * entertaining a design to establish such a form of Government have taken advantage of an occasional depression of the commerce and manufactures of the country , and the privations which the Jabonring classes ate Buffering , for the purpose of encouraging them to resist their master * , and to abstain from labour , telling them that thta was the only means within their reach which

      by they could obtain the accomplishment of their favourite Charter . I am glad to be informed , gentlemen , that on some portions of the multitudes to -which such topics were addressed they failed to have an effect There was a certain feeling of common sense , and a remaining attachment to the institutions of the country , which forbade many to listen to the Toice of these Chartists . Nevertheless , gentlemen , you will find by the evidence which will be produced before you that great pains were taken to inculcate these doctrines on the minds of the people , and to encourage them by the force which belongs to assembled multitudes to carry them into effect . In the cases which will come before you , gentlemen , you may find persona entertaining these doctrines . I am desirous not to be understood as stating that tbe mere holding of any abstract opinion on political subjects is an offence ; but if these persons who entertained snch doctrines as I have aliuded to endeavour t 9 enforce them by popular tumultthey

      , must be guilty of a grave offence . If you should find , too , cases satisfactorily proved , where persons have used efforts to prevail on the labouring people not to return to work , er have resorted to measures of tumult and disorder in order to carry into effect their favourite objects , there con be ne doubt that such persons are justly liable to punishment ; and you , gentlemen , will doubtless feel it due to your country to briDg them before this Court There is another class of offenders who will be brought before you—namely , those who joined in assemblies of the people , the object of which was by ferce to turn others out of employment , or prevent them from continuing at work . This is a species of tyranny quite intolerable . What right has any man to dictate to another at what price be should labour ? If the party who labours , or the party employing , is dissatisfied with the terms of the contract , they have nothing to do but to put an end to the contract . I am afraid , for I believe the law has been altered in this

      respect , that even the combination of a number of workmen for the purpose of dictating terms to masters has ceased to be an indictable offence in itself . But , though this is not an indictable offence , so long as the combination be conducted in a peaceable and quiet manner , yet if they attempt to force others to join them by terror or intimidation , they are guilty of one of the most daring and outrageous acts of tyranny . What would be said , if a government differently constituted from our own , and acting by direct force on the people if the powers of such a government were exercised in a similar manner , in order that the workmen migbt not continue at their labour ? Would It not be described as an insupportable tyranny , and as forming a just ground for insurrection ? Yet you will find that these unhappy men were not content with exercising

      the privileges which the law allowed them , of agreeing among themselves not to wort without a certain rate of remuneration , bnt they attempted by force to compel others to quit their labour . When a case of this kind comes before you , gentlemen ; when you find attempts made by tumult , riot , and force to detach the labourer from his occupation , you will consider them offences of an aggravated character , and in such cases I would recommend you to find the bills . The the third class of offences is in its nature not so aggravated , and jet is not to be passed over—namely , where persons have joined in a tumultuous crowd , engaged in some illegal design . You may say , and justly , that though a vast number of persons might assemble together , a few only might be engaged in any criminal design . Still , as the criminal design could only be effected by the terror which a multitude inspires , any man who joins the mob becomes one of the persons countenancing and furthering the illegal end . If , therefore , a crowd tumultuously collect

      together , creating alarm to tbe neighbourhood in whieb It assembles , and assuming a character dangerous to the public peace , every person who joins it becomes an implicated party , aud is by law guilty of riot , though the party accused may have done nothing more than merely brought to the mob the sanction of his personal presence I do not mean to say that a man might not be in a mob innocently ; for a person going home might find it necessary to pass by tbe place where the mob was assembled , or he might go into the mob for the purpose of inducing another not to join it , or prevent excess . There might be innocent motives which brought a man in the midst of a mob ; but as by his presence be increased the multitude , the amount of which occasioned terror , it lies upon him to prove his innocence , and to show whether bis presence there was voluntary or otherwise . I mention this as a case of simple riot ; and if you find persona joining assemblies which had illegal objects in view , or which , conducted themselves in a tumnltuous and

      riotons manner , yon must bring them before this Court ; for if they have any excuse which may operate in their defence they have no means of producing it before you . The finding of a true bill against them will be justified by the evidence of a prima facie case against them ; and if that case be proved against them , the onus probandi as to their innocence will afterwards be thrown upon them . From the information laid before me , I believe that I have now described the general character of the cases which will be submitted to your consideration ; but there are . two other cases which I ought to mention . I have stated that where a crowd assembled and acted illegally , those facts determined tbe character of the assembly to be unlawful . You will find that in some cases attempts have been made to extort money or provisions , and whenever the parties so

      acting have succeeded in their design through the aid of terror and force , they have been guilty of the offence of robbery . This will probably form a class of the cases which will come before you . Gentlemen , you are aware that if any assembly of persons begin to demolish and pull down any building , that act constitutes a felony . Whether any caseB amounting to tola offence will come before you , I am not sufficiently informed to say , bnt I have reason to think that some of the cases may take that shape . All the different classes of offences which I have mentioned will probably come under your consideration . If you find any persona fomenting disturbance , or endeavouring to work out their own particular views by creating a suspension of labour , ruinous not only to the parties themselves , but also to the country , and by forcibly compelling others to cease labour , they are

      liable to heavy punishment . If you find others seeking to obtain by intimidation money or provisions , ' or engaged in pulliLg down buildings , these offenders would come under a different class , but they would deserve your serious attention . I believe I have now described the character of the different offences , and lam not aware that I could add anything which might direct your inquiries . Still I shall be very happy to give you , ifneedlul , every assistance in my power to facilitate your investigations . Nevertheless , I do not think it probable that gentlemen of your experience and knowledge will require any further information . I cannot ; conclude without repeating my expression of compassion for the unhappy people who have acted under tbe delusion I have referred to . But , gentlemen , the law takes no account of such delusions ; and if a man

      commits guilty acts , he must be prepared to submit to the consequences of his conduct . It is true that the poorer classes of the country have been suffering from great privations ; and I may allude to this subject , as it is matter of notoriety , and has formed matter of public discussion ; but it is very singular that the time chosen to break out was a period when a more settled commercial policy had been adopted , when every person expected a revival of manufacturing prosperity , and when , I believe , every person felt there was existing a salient point from which commercial prosperity might take its start . Itissingular that thisahould be the moment chosen to foment these disturbances ; and the country has suffered in consequents of a suspension of that prosperity which might confidently have been anticipated , and of which , I trust , it is not too late to hope for tbe return .

      ( Before Lord Abhiger , Sir E . H . Alderson , and Sir Cresswell Cresswell . J

      CONSPIRACY . William Moorhouse , S , Lees , R . Wild , J . Wild , Stephen Shirt , and John Fairhaut , were placed at the bar to answer an indictment charging them with conspiting together , with divers ether persons , at Stockport , in this county , on the 26 th of July last , and subsequent days , and by threats , violence , and intimidation obstructing the cottou trade and manufactures there and then carried on by the peaceable subjects of our Sovereign Lady the Queen . They were also charged with unlawfully assembling together with a view of effecting , by force and violence , certain great changes in the constitution of the country . The prisoners were indicted , together with several other persons not in custody , . and a person named James Lewes , out on bail . This individual not appearing , was called upon his recognizances , which were estreated . The prisoners , on being asked whether they would traverse , all consented to be tried , with the exception of James Wild .

      The Attorney-General ( Sir Frederick Pollock ) , the Attorney-General for the Palatine ( Mr . Hill ) Mr . Jervis M . P ., Mr . Welsby , and Mr . Pollock , appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr . Yardley for the defence . Singular as it may appear , these were the only barristers in Chester , one only being left ( Mr . Yardley ) for the defence of the prisoners , and as two conrts were sitting in the course of the day , prisoners were obliged to be tried undefended . .. Mr . Pollock having opened the indictment , The Attorney-General , in stating tbe case fox the prosecution , gave a succinct history of the commence ment and progress of the disturbances in tbe mannfacturing districts , and proceeded at considerable length to point out tbe character of tfee disturbances . Ha called the following witnesses : —

      William Clayton was the first witness called . —He deposed , I am a constable of Hyde . On tbe first Wednesday in August I heard a bell ringing in Hyde on tbat day . I attended a meeting on that day . to the

      extent of about 2000 . I saw William Moorhouse and Robert Wild , and Stephen Shirt At this meeting a person of the name of Condellet was the chairman . He read a resolution , which was seconded by Moorhouse , that if there was another reduction would they one and all come out ! and there was a cry of Yes , yes . " Condolett then proposed a show of hand * in favour of it , and be then said , "I hope the people of Hyde will pwe true to one another , and we will soon have our rights , and that will be the Charter , and nothing but the Charter " Moorhouse and Leach both spoke at that meeting , and Condelett announced that on the following Sunday morning a meeting would be held at Mednesham-green , Matham-moor . Cross-examined by Mr . Yardley . —I am a constable at Hyde . I have selected that part of bis speech which seemed , the most striking . The meeting dispersed quietly . Some of the speakers impressed upon the meeting the importance of keeping the peace .

      Joseph Little—I was at a meeting on Sunday , the 17 th August , at Mednesham-greea . There were about 400 persons present Moorhouse was the chairman , and on taking the chair he said , •' My friends and fellowworkmen—I am appointed Chairman of the meeting , and must inform you that we are . not met here for a wage question , or a religious question , it is for a national question ; but I will not intrude ou your time , aa you will be addressed by my brother Chartists from Hyde , Ash ton , and other places , who are more able to address yon than I am , and they will explain to you that we Chartists are met here for a national question . I will sit down" He called on another person , who came forward to address them . I ' left the meeting , and returned again In half an hour , at which time a person was addressing the meeting , but I did not know him .

      After my return Leach and Condelett addressed toe meeting in the presence of Moorhouse . He told them the church ( pointing to Matham Church ) was built for a good purpose , bnt now filled by thieves aud robbers , the cotton fraternity ; but they would all be parsons and " blue bottles , " if they were paid by the Government £ 80 a year , a nice sum for a working man—a man who works only one day out of seven . " But let me tell you , " said Leach , " the church is an open hell , and filled by the cotton lords and thieves , and good honest people they will not allow to enter ; but let us be true one to another and there is property enough in this plentiful country , and support for us all ; and if you have net the common necessaries of life take them , and who can stand against yon ? Now the prisons are full , and in the prisons

      they do not wont you . " On the same day , in the afternoon , I attended another meeting on the same spot . There might be about 800 or 1 , 000 persons present Moorhouse was the chairman , and I saw Robert Wil

      6 th . I attended a meeting in the market-place , Hyde , about six o ' clock in the evening . I should think there were at least three thousand persons present . The prisoner Moorhouse aud others addressed the meeting . The general substance of the speeches was to advise the people not to go into their work until the Charter became the law of the land . On the following morning a meeting was held in tho in me place , and similar language was used by the speakers . Leech was present , and said they Intended to go and join the people of Ashton , and from there they would go to the Exchange in Manchester , where they would meet the cotton lords , and he had no doubt they would soon have the Charter . I believe he advised them to divide themselves—one port to go to Ashton , and another to Stockport I attended another meeting on ths same day , and it was much longer than the one in the niornin « .

      Mr . Yardley , for the defence , cross-examined this witness at some length , bnt elicited nothing whatever calculated to shake the fairness of hia testimony , and the Judge then adjourned the Court until tomorrow ( Friday . )

      NISI PRIUS COURT . ( Before Sir E . H . Alderson . ) Joseph Taylor , William Smith , James Kershaw , and William Martin , were placed at the bar , charged with having feloniously thrown down and destroyed a lock on the Peak Forest Canal , on the l& ' . h of August lost , for the purpose of putting a stop to the labour of persons employed thereat Sir E . H . Alderson inquired whether the prisoners had counsel to defend them ? and Mr . VaUGHaN , a solicitor , stated that though he was instructed to procure the aid of counsel for tbe benefit of the prisoners , he was unable to do so , as no counsel were present except those employed for the Crown . The Learned Judge then informed Mr . Vaughan that , under these eucumBtancea , he would be permitted to plead on behalf of the prisoners .

      Mr . Vaughan replied that he could not undertake to do this , as he was already engaged to assist in the defence of other prisoners , at present on trial in the other court Mr . Hill , the Attorney-General for the County Palatine of Chester , described the nature of the charge against the prisoners , and called James Compton , a constable , who detailed the circumstances under which the outrage was committed . The Jury having retired ; returned Into court , and brought ia a verdict , acquitting Taylor , and finding the other prisoners Guilty . They recommended Kershaw to mercy on the ground of bis previous good character . The same parties were again indicted for riotonsly assembling at Marple , and conspiring to disturb the public peace , by preventing persons by means of force and intimidation from continuing at their work .

      In proof of the charge against the prisoners it was stated , that words of an exciting tendency had been addressed by the prisoner Taylor to a meeting ; and that among othsr things he advised the people not to return to work until the Charter became tbe law of the land . It was also stated that a person introduced to the meeting by Taylor bad made use of inflammatory language , and had advistd the people to act as Lord Kinnaird had said in the House of Lords he would act —namely , that if be wanted food be would take it where he could get it : The prisoner Taylor , who is a working man , and appeared to psssess considerable intelligence , addressed the Court In his own defence . He denied that be had used words of a seditious character , and contended that one or two passages ought not to be selected from the speech he had delivered to the meeting in question , but that the tendency and character of the whole of it should be considered .

      The Learned Judge , in summing up , said that Taylor might have used improper language to the meeting he was addressing , but intimated that there was no proof of a conspiracy on his part to force others from their employment Taylor was responsible for the language used by the person he introduced to the meeting , as he was present while the language was uttered , and did not protest against It With respect to the words attributed to Lord Kinnaird , it was improbable that they wera ever used by the Noble Lord , or the House of Lords weuld no dcubt have noticed them ; but it was a regular exhortation to the people , on tbe part of the person who uttered them at the meeting , considering the circumstances under which they were uttered at that meeting , to commit robbery . The Jnry Acqnitted the prisoners of a conspiracy , but found them Guilty of attending an unlawful meeting . Both the Courts adjourned until nine o ' clock next meming .

      FRIDAY , October 7 . This morning , Lord Abinger sat alone in the Crown Court ; two other courts having been opened , one at the Nisi Prius end , and the other in the Grand Jury room . In the former , Mr . Baron Aiderson presided ; and in tho latter , Mr . Jnstice Cresswell . The trial of the prisoners , arraigned on the previous day , was proceeded with . James Wild , one of the Hollingwortb . rioters , who , at the opening of the case , expressed a wish to traverse to the spring assizes , appeared in the dock , and asked to be tried along with the other prisoners . This request was complied wi th ; and Mr . Yardley , on the part of the defendant , consented to the arrangement , with the understanding that tbe evidence given on Thursday should be taken as applying to him , as well as to the rest of the prisoners .

      A witness named James Buckley , a labourer , was called to prove the offence ; and his testimony , such as it was , was supported by one or two others . Mr . Yardley addressed the jury for the defence . The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty" on all the counts against the whole of the prisoners , with the exception of Shirt , who was found guilty on { he second count only , The prisoners were then ordered to stand down . Several other prisoners were tried during the day for rioting at Rollington , but no feature of interest was presented .

      SATURDAY , Oct . 8 . Lord Abisgkr presided in the Crown Court , Mr . Baron Alderson in one at the Nisi Prius end , and Mr . Justice Cresswell in the Grand Jury room . Lord Abingeb took his seat on the bench this morning at a quarter-past nine o ' clock . ^ The Attoeney-Genebal ( with whom was Mr Sergeant Jervis ) conducted the prosecutions in this Court throughout the whole of the day . The Jury having been sworn , James Thorpe , Samuel Fearns , George Taylor , William Wilde , and James Hague , were the first prisoners placed at the bar . Wilde , Thorpe , and fcgneTpIeaded "Not Guilty , " and Fearns and Taylor pleaded " Guilty . " The Aitohney-Ge » kbal statedthe case .

      , Mr . Yabdley addressed the Jury in defence of the prisoners . . The ACTOBNEjkGEHBBAi . replied briefly .

      The ijearned Judge summed np the evidence and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty . James Derbyshire , Martha Baker , William Rock , Joseph Smith , and Hamer Smith , were all placed in the doop , charged with riot and robbery in tha Stookport Union Workhouse , on the 11 th of August last . The whole of the prisoners pleaded '' Not Guilty . " ' Derbyshire was tried alone , the other prisoners being for the present ordered to sit down . The Learned Judge summed np tho evidence , and the Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty . His Lordship then sentenced him to transportation for lifo .

      William Turner , Samuel Kaye , and William Robinson , were indicted for having , on the 13 ih of August , riotously assembled , aud , with m » uy others , conspiring together to stop the process of labour , at Marple , in the county of Chester . Th « y were all found Guilty . John Webb . AlarthaBaker , WilliamRock , Joseph Smith , and Hammer Smith , wore again brought up and put upon their trial . Tho Attorney Geneual stated the case . Th'i prisoners were found Guilty , and each sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the Chester House of Correction . This being the last case that was to oome before the cour ' , his Lordship ordered the whole of the prisoners who had been found Guilty boforehim during the three days to bo placed in the dock to receive senteuce .

      Lord Abinger , in addressing the prisoners , repeated some of the observations delivered in hi 3 charge to the grand jury as to the illegality of the prisoners ' conduct and the dangerous tendency of their principles , and the course th 6 y had adopted to enforce them upoirothers ; and couoluded by passing on them the following sentenceT : Joseph Buckly , William Moorhouse , Robert Wiide , John Farhurst , and Samuel Lees , each two years' imprisonment with hard iabour , in Chester Castle ; Stephen Shirt , eighteen months' imprisonment , with hard labour , in Knutsfcrd House of Correction , ' James Wilde , Thomas Thorpe , James Hague , Wm . Turner , Samuel Kay , and J . Kobiiisop , one year ' s imprisonment , with hard labour , ia Chester Castle ; John Buokly , six months ; and Oliver Fry , Thomas Winterbottom , aud John Smith , - the three prisoners who were wounded at Mr . Shepley ' s mill , the short period of three mouths only , on account of the injuries they had received .

      The busines 3 of the court beins ; ended about three o'clock , his Lordship took his departure from the city immediately .

      . ( Before Baron Alderson . J The learned Judge took his seat on the bench this morning at half-past nine o'clock , and proceeded with the trials of the prisoners charged with breaking into the Stockport workhouse . The wholo of the case ' s tried to-day in the three Courts wore all moro or less concerned in the attack on the Stockport workhouse ^ and as the evideuca was in tach case substantially the same , it would be useless to repeat it . Mr . Attorney-General Hill and Mr . Pollock conducted the prosecutions in this Court . The Learned Judge directed the prisoners who were tricd , before him yesterday and found guilty of riot to be brought before him . They were severally sentenced as follows : —Thomas Morris , Charles Harrop , Samuel Gosling , and Samuel Shepley , to 18 months' imprisonment , with hard labour , ia Chester Castle ; and Joseph Done , oue year , in the same prison .

      The sentences passed npon tho prisoners tried today , who were convicted of riot and felony h , t the Stockporfc workhouse , were as follow : —Thoma 3 Hayes , transported for 14 years ; John Charlesworth , Michael Lcyfisld , and Thomas Torks , seven years ; William Wright , two years imprisonment , with hard labour in Chester Castle ; Joseph Taylor , sixteen months , with hard labour ; Joseph Torks , James Hatton , John Rhodes , and James Harrop , twelve months , with harri labour , all in Chester Castle ; William Smith , James Korshaw , and Wm . Morton , one year , with f . ard labour , in Knutsford house of correction . The business of this court was concluded at five o ' clock .

      : ( Before Mr . Justice CressweU . J In this Court , also , the cases tried were for riot and felony at the Stockport workhonso . Charles Howard , William Seddon , and Thomas Warhurst , transportation for life ; John Smith , Wm . Miller , James Smith , Joseph Cowan , and Joha Selby , transportation for ten years ; John Burgess , Edward Walker , William Barnet , Michael Lenard , John Duncalf , William Simmons , Thomas Simmons , Matthew Bradley , Joseph Hesketh , Anthony Duffy , Joseph Wright , William Har » raves , John Swan , Thomas Summers , William Stonehewer , Levi Greenhalgh , Ralph Brooks , John Liddell , Stephen Simpeon , land Edward Hadfield , each to twelvemonths ' imprisonment , with hard labour ia Chester Castle . The business of this Court terminated about four o'clock . ¦

      Thus has ended this miserable mockery of justice on the part of the Crown . Every unfair advantage —every legal technicality which the cunning of the Crown counsel could discover , have been greedily snatched at by them , in order to convict the HnhaDpy prisoners . We know of nothing in the annals of history , with the exception of the " bloody assiza" of Judge Jefferies , which at all assimilates to the late unconstitutional proceedings at Chester .
