Mr . Law Hodgbs presented several petitions against the P-xt Law AJnendment BiJ ) . Mr . T . Dcscomee presenteS a petition from Manchester -DTafiag for the pardon and restoration of Frost , WlBisn : a , and Jones . .

      Loni Ixgestbk fare notioe that he should on Tuesday cs ! i the attention of the House to the «> iH"g of the Ifiger expedition . Mi . Fox Mable gave notice that the Lord Advo-- « ate TTcuJd on Tuesday more tor lea re to bring in a Bill to Amend the Registration of Voters in Scotland , Mr . Labocchbeb , in swwer to a question from Mr . QtvU , whether he entertained a hope of the probable and * pecdy conclusion of the arrsngememenla between the G-ivemmenta of France and this country , and a reduetior . of the duty on wines and spirits consequent therein on , stated that under erdinary circumstances he ¦ would Gave felt it his duty to urge upon the French Government the speedy settlement of the question , and he certainly should have dene so but for the motives ¦ whi ch would suggest themselves to the House . He trusted , boweTer , to be able in a short time to give a distinct answer .

      Sir EdwaBD Scodbk , in consequence of some observations made by Lord John Unwell , respecting the in'ii ^ position of the Lord Chancellor , consented to the postponement of the discussion of the Administration of Justice < Ko . 21 Bill , till the motion for going into committee . The K « port of the committee on Customs Duties having be * n brought up , Mr . o Cos . sell gave the measure his most cordial soppor ; , but it was calculated , he thought , to do much Dor * g .-jd to England than to India . The Honourable and Learned Gentleman complained of the insecurity of title o- the cultivators of India to their lands , which - attended with the most horrible consequences ; and he enU-T . d into a detail of the various famines in India Jince th- establishment of our empire-there by Xord diveiu

      1780-Mr . Hf > GG observed that the discussion opened by tae Hon . and Learned Gentleman would occupy more time tbnn could be afforded « n that occasion . The permanent settlement of the Marquis of Cornwallis had not been productive of all the good expected from it . The £ tit-men ; s of famines were exaggerated . Mr . 12 uue observed that it was not-true that sa many famints hiid taken place in India as his Hon . and Xearnci Friend tad mentioned . The subject of tenures was oe ¦ f great difficulty . Mt . Ba ' ast ecuceiv&d that the measure -would be -benefic ii to India as well as to England . In aniwer to a question froia Mr . ( Joulbum ,

      Mr . . LABOtcHEBE said the object contemplated by the pre « at Bill was to place the rum of the East Indies -on the fating on which the rum of the West Indies stood , and no 5 to touch the duties on rum imported into IrelBE I and Scotland , as distinguished from the duties ¦ on run . -spor ted into England . The r <^ Kttt was received , and a Bill founded on it -ordered to be brought in . The report of the Committee on her Majesty " s messa ; - respecting Lord Keane was brought up and agreed : \ Mi . L ^ vast gave notice that in committee he should move tlia : the pension be granted to Lord Kerne for life on ) v .

      Mr . Hi : me should support the motion of his Hon . Friend -Mr .

Lord ; ohJf RCS 5 ELL , with regard to any communication tttJi the Court of Directors , would on ! y say , thai ihe suw- ^ Ece of it was totally diSerect from what the Honour ^ le Gentleman seemed to suppose . The Directors -lid not give an opinion that Lord Keane kad beady hem amply rewarded , hut declared that they thougit i- most just that an application should be made to ParJ ^ . ^ cnt . Mr . h rare said his question had been misunderstood . He wi « :. T ; j to know -whether an application had been m % de t ¦ ' the Court of Directors , and whether they did not refuse to acced * to it .

      Mr .

      Gtmtral JohxstosE had no Epprfehension that th : 8 bill , if L-ruught in , would pass into a hiw , for there was too ii ; ncii Eense in both Houses of Parliament to adiL . ! :, fora moment , the principle of secret execution . H = should oppose the bill , aa founded upon a prirdpie "which could never be entertained by EnglisLm .-n . - Mr . L ^ aut opposed the bill on the same ground , and shj r-tcacssit would remove oae of the grounds for the aboati&n of the punishment of death . itr . F . iij . xrj . s opposed it , and ill . El'itE snggesttA that the Honourable Menvbfci fcjid better withdraw a motion which was manifestly against the general feeling of the House , whatever might be their opinions of th « demoralising effects or . public executions . Mr . K : ch then withdrew his motion .

      Mr . M . Philips moved for the appointment of a select c- 'tumittee to inquire into the operation of the existing laws affecting the exportation of machinery . The objtct of * . >»« motion was to enable the manufacturers of machinery to export it to any foreign country , the existing law prohibiting exportation , except wit ! the consent of the Privy Council . The motion was supported by Mr . E . Tennent : Mi . Hume , ilr . Morrison , Mr . Ewart , and a greal number of other Honourable Members , and opposed bj no one . Mr- Sheil , on the part of the Board of Trade , gave ass ^ ni to the proposition , which was accordinglj agreed to .

      The Loed Abtocats obtained leave to bring in bill to amend t ' oe registration of voters in Scoiiant after which the House adjourned .

      Public Meeting To Petition For Th Immediate Release Of Mr. Henr Hetherixgton.

      PUBLIC MEETING TO PETITION FOR TH IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF MR . HENR HETHERIXGTON .

      Thursday night we * k a public meeting was held a the Sociai Hall , Hercules Buildings , Lambeth , to peti tion the Legislature fcr the immediate release of "Mr : H Hetherington , confined in ths Marshalsea , for foa months , for selling "HaslwrTs Letters , " which hzri been tenaed , by the law officers of the Crown , a bl&s phemous publication . At eight o ' clock the hall wa densely crowded ; but it was half-p&st eight befor the ehaii was taken by J . Edwards , Esq ., who wa mpported on the right and left by several highly influential persons , connected with the Borough o Limbeth .

      The CaAiBMA * said that it would be his duty th evening to submit to the meeting a series of resoratloi And a petition k > Parliament grounded upon them ; i the release of Mr . Heiherington , who had been indici for blasphemy , before Lord Denman and a Spec Jury , for selling " Haslam ' s Letters to the Clergy of . i denonunations . " He would not detain them with a observations , but would read the petition , which i forth— " That for the same offence two other peraoz namely , Mr . Abel Heywood and Mr . John Cleavo , h been convicted . Mr- Heywood had escaped punis ment , but Mr . Cleave underwent a part of his senten

      of imprisonment , and paid a fine . " The petition th prayed " thst even-handed justice might be dealt . o to the publishers of Byron and Shelley ' s works , by pj tecathig them for the publication of boofes equally eriminal as those for which Mr . Cleave and Mr . Hetb tngton had been convicted . " It alBO prayed that Committee of the House of Commons would define bi phemy , in order that the public might be caution against being guilty of it . After commuting upon t law , as it was , regarding blasphemy , the petiticn p pectiuily called upon the Legislature for the ' immedi : release of Mr . Hetherington . - " " - Mr . Medlaxd moved the first resolution , to t effect that the meeting viewed with deep regret t

      Untitled Article

      proceedings on the part of the Government against Mr . Hetherington , who had not been treated in the same manner -with others who had been prosecuted by the same Government , for the same offenoe . Although no immediate relief might be obtained by the petition , yet be felt satisfied that it would be ultimately serviceable , by showing that public opinion wm opposed to inch prosecutions , as they neither forwarded truth nor justice , nor upheld religion . Mr . Lloyd Jokes seconded the resolution . Twelve months ago , bills were found against Mr . Heywood , for selling Haslam ' s Letter * . On that occasion he ( Mr .

      Jones ) purchased at Mr . Baucis's shop , having over the door the " Crown and Cushion , " and opened for the Rale of religious tracts and Bibles , a copy of " Shelley ' s Poems . " He then Bent up bills against Mr . Bancks , for selling such works , and the Grand Jury found the bills . ( Hear , hear , and a laugh . ) What was the result . ' The Government was in a hobble , for they could not but prosecute Mr . Bancks . But they did no such thing . They informed Mr . Heywood if he pleaded guilty , he should not be sentenced , and thus avoided the alternative of prosecuting Mr . Baucis .

      Mr . Fo&hak moved the second resolution , to the effect that the public viewed with indignation the attempt of a Liberal Government to revive » uch prosecutions . He 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 , in the words of Jefferson , termed the law under which he was tried , a " Judiciary forgery , " and a " frandulenfc mistranslation . " Mr . John Stephens seconded the resolution , In a very luminous address .

      Mr . John Cleave rose and supported the resolution . He said , that although he was bound orer to keep the per . ee to •¦ our Sovereign Lady the Queen , " he was not under any apprehensions that his recognizance would be estreated for attending that meeting . He attended there solely as being a fellow sufferer ; and as being therefore one who could well describe the circumstances under which Mr . Hetherington was placed . If Henry of Exeter had consulted Henry Hetherington and himself , he thought that they would put him of Exeter in the way of letting the prosecution alone . ( Htar , and laughter . ) As the Tories alwiys fsnnd the Whigs willing tools to do their dirty work , 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 was being prosecuted , Mr . Moxon issued a prospectus , stating that he was repablisbiag Shelley ' s works ; acd the beast of the prospectus was , that the suppressed passages would appear in full . Of course the rich man could Indulge bis full meal of blasphemy -under gilded covers ; for those were boois not for the poor bnt for the rich Forsooth the anxiety of Exeter and the Government was for the souls of the poor and net of the rich . It was a monstrous thing to bold a booiaeller responsible for the contents of every pamphlet that might be on his shelves , as a tradesman had something else to do besides rummaging them to ascertain their

      contents . He considered it an act of gross injustice that , after Mt . Heywood had been set at large , and his ( Mr . Cleave ' s ) term of imprisonment remitted ( for although they were £ ind enough to take his £ 20 fine , they did not enforce the full term of his incarceration ) that Mr . Hetherington should be sentenced to four months' imprisonment for the offence of which they had been guilty . Mr . Cleave then described the privations to which he had been subjected in prison , aiid congratulated himself upon his having passed through so many fiery ordeals of Government prosecutions without a hair of his head being singed , and called upon the meeting to exert their best endeavours to secure the immmediate release of Mr . Hetherington from prison .

      Several other speakers addressed the meeting , after which the petition in favour of Mr . Hetherington was adopted . Thanks were voted to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      TRIAL OF THE EARL OF CARDIGAN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS . Tuesday last wa 3 the day fixed for the trial of the Earl of Cardigan , on the charge of feloniously shooting at Capt . Harvey Tuckett . The Counsel for the prosecution were the Attorney-General and 3 Ir . Waddington , the Solicitor-General being absent from indisposition ; and for the noble p risoner , Sir William Follett , Sir . Sergeant Wrangham , and Mr . Adolphns . As a quarter before eleven , Lord Denman entered ihe House , as Lord High Steward , preceded by the mace , and took bis seat on the woolsack . Prayers were then read by the Right Rev . Dr . Shuttle worth , the Bishop of Chichester—being the junior bishop . Prsver 3 having concluded ,

      Upon arrira ! in the House , Garter and Black Rod took their places at the bar , and the Lord Speaker proceeded ta the woolsack , where , being seated , prayers were read . The Clerk Assittamt of the Parliaments then called over the Lords , beginning with the junior Baron . The Lords having been called , the Clerks of the Crown in Chancery , and in the Queen ' s Bench , joiBtly made three reverences ; and the Clerk ot the Crown in Chancery , on his kn « e , delivered the Commission to the Lord Speaker , who give it to the Clerk of the Crown , in the Queen ' s Bench , to read , and both clerks retired with the like reverenees to the table . The commission appointing a Lord High Steward being read , Garter and Black Rod , makiDg their reverences to the Throne , proceeded from the bar to

      the woolsack , where they took their places en the right hand side of the Lord High Steward in his place , and both holding the staff , presented it upon iheir knees to his Lordahip , when his Lordthip rising and preceded by the Garter and Black Rod , and the Purs 3 Bearer , with reverence to the Throne , took his seat in the chair provided for his Grace on the uppermost step but one of the Throne , and delivered the staff to Black Rod to hold on his right hand , Garter and Purse Bearer standing on his left . The prisoner , on reaching the bar , ma . de three reverences ; one to his Grace the Lord High Steward , the other to the Peers on each side ; his Grace and all the Peers returning the salute ; the prisoner knelt , and hi 3 Grace 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 again made for silence ; and his Grace acquainted the prisoner with the charge . The prisoner was then arraigned ; and pleading Kot Guilty , proclamation was made by the Sergeantat-Arzns for all persons to come forth and give evidence . His Grace the Lord High Steward , with their Lorcghips' leave , thea removed to his seat at the table , preceded by Garter , Black Rod , and the Puree Bearer , as before , and his Grace being seated , they took their places ; Black Rod sitting on a stool at the corner of the table on his Grace's right hand , aisd holding the staff ; Garter sitting on a stool on Black Rod ' s right hand , the Sergeant at the lower end of the tible on the same side , and tho Purse Bearer at the npper corner on the left . The prisoner having been arraigned and pleaded " Not guilty " .

      Mr . Waddixgto . v opened the pleadiags , stating that the first count of the indictment charged the noble prisoner that he died , on the 12 » h September , 1340 , in the parish of Wandsworth , feloniously shoot at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tnckett , with intent to murder him ; the second count charged his Lordshipwiih intent to maim and disfigure ; and the third count to do some grievous bodily kann . The ATroasEY-GHJcEBji th « n rose to open the case for the prosocution . He said it wia gratifying to think that the charge against the noble person at the bar did aot imply any degree of moral tnrpitude , and if Mb Lorship were found guilty , the conviction would reflect no discredit on the illustrious order to which he belonged . He had , however

      been gailcy of a breach of the statute laws of these realms , which , without regard to the position of the party implicated , their Lordships were bound to respect and enforce . The indictment contained no capUal charge , and although a wound was inflicted the prosecutor had very properly restricted the charge to '" firing at with intent . " The learned gentleman ihen repeated the counts of the indictment , pointed out the bearing of the law upon each , and said it would-be for their lordships to see that the offence charged in the different counts W 33 fully established . They weald hear the facts of the case stated in evidence . But he would now state to their Lordships the substance of that evidence , which they would hear in detail from the lips of the witnesses . On the

      12 : h of September , the £ arl ot Cardigan fought a duel vrith Captain Harvey Tuckett , and wounded him . On that day , two carriages were seen approaching Wimbledon-common , and it waseviden 5 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 Tuekett was wounded , but ( and no man rejoiced at it more than , the Earl of Cardigan ) not dangerou » ly . Mr . Dann , the miller , came up , and arrested the Earl of Cardigan , and brought him before a magistrate at Wandswonb . 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 Criminal Court , and on that account it would be indecorous on his part , as

      Attorney-General , to call these gentlemen as witnesses on the present trial . It would be for their Lordships to decide whether all the counts of theindiotment would be fully bore out by evidence . He » t once acqsitted the Earl of Cardigan of any unfairness inihe duel . Something had been s&id abont the fomationjof the pistols used on that occasion . He had no doubt that when the Noble Earl brought those pistols to the field ho expected that one of them might be used against his life . He acquitted the Noble Earl in like manner of any malice in the proceeding . He firmly delieved that he fought a duel merely to sustain his character as a military officer in the manner in which it appeared to him necessary to sustain it . He would refer next to the legal authorities , by which it appeared to him that any person who would kill another in a duel , would be guilty of the crime of murder . Hale drew ths distinction be-

      Untitled Article

      tween a quarrel suddenly taking place and decided on the spot , and a combat attended with the premeditation which marks a deliberate-duel . The same distinction is made fey Foster , by Hawkins , and by Blsckstone . The Learned Barrister here quotea extracts from each of the . above authorities . He obserred that with regard to Lord Ellenborougb / a Aet and the late Aot of Queen 'Victoria , the words H attempt to murder" meant an attempt to do that which , if accomplished , would in law be equivalent to the crime of murder . The offence of the Earl of Cardigan came , he feared , within the meaning of the phrase . It could hardly be supposed that the Earl of Cardigan'and Captain Harvey Tuokett met accidentally at Wimbledon' Common . That a sad * den quarrel took place , which was , decided on . the epot . That would hardly hie supposed . la- the second volume of" Moody ' s Crown Cases , " page 40 , a case was reported , in which the question referred

      to the judges was , whether , in answer to an indictment for shooting at with intent to ; murder , it would be a sufficient defence , that , if death ensued , it would not be murder , but manslaughter . The Learned Judge then decided that such would not be a good defence . Justice Li ttledale and another Learned Judge were the only dissentients from that judgment . The Earl of Cardigan would have an advantage which Peers before the same tribunal had not on former occasions ! Ho would have the advantage , in consequence of an excellent Act passed by their Lordships a few years ago , whereby the counsel ot the accused party was entitled to address the judicial tribunal in reply to evidence . He was sure , however , that their Lordships would , on this occasion , uninfluenced by any degree of eloquence or ingenuity whioh may b& exhibited , sustain the high character as a judicial tribunal which they had so long enjoyed .

      Thomas Hunt Dann , examined by Mr . Waddington—On the 12 t ; h of September he saw a carriage approaching in the neighbourhood of his mill , on Wimbledon Common , in a short time he observed another carriage . One of the gentlemen came out of the carriage and went to that part of the common which is in Wandsworth parish , and another to that pare of it which is in the parish of Putney . Soon after be saw two gentlemen , of whom his Lordship the Earl of Cardigan was one , placed at a distance of twelve yards asunder . They fired shots at one another . He then made his way towards them . When he came within about fifteen yards of them they iired again 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 gentleman , who as he afterwards ascertained was Captain Tuckett , was wounded . He then west up to the parties , and told one of the the gentlemen that he must consider himself in his custody . That geutlem&a was the Earl of Cardigan . He took from him a pistol , which he had in his hand . He saw a fifth gentleman , who was wounded . After tskiug into custody Lord Cardigan , he did the same to the others . He was asked to let the wounded gentleman go into his house . The five gentlemen c * me , then , to his house . He was then asked to let the wounded gentleman go home . He did so on receiving the 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 not one of them . One of th « gentlemen wrote something in pencil on the back ot the card . In consequence 'of receiving that card he went to a house in Hamilton Place . That was on September I 8 : h , and the number of the house was 15 . He asked to see Captain Harvey Tuckett . He saw a gentleman whom he had previously seen fighting the duel , and who gave him his card . He took Lord Cardigan , on the 12 th of September , to the station-house in Wands worth . He gave the pistols to the inspector there . Earl Cardigan claimed one of them as his . He afterwards taw the medical gentleman whom he had seen at the duel .

      Other witnesses were examined . but their testimony was not important . After which The Attornby General said , " This , my Lords , is the case on the part of the prosecution . " Sir W . Follett—This being the case on the part of the prosecution , I venture to submit to your Lordships that there is no case that calls on the prisoner for an answer . It is an attempt to prove a case without sufficient evidence . Your Lordships will observe that in the first count of the indictment , the prisoner is charged with feloniously and unlawfully intending to shoot at Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett , with a pistol loaded with gunpowder and ball , intending thereby , of bis malice aforethought , the said Harvey Garnet Tuckett to kill and murder ;

      in the second count , he is charged with intending to maim and disable the same person ; and in the third count , with intending to do him some grievous bodily injury . Now , 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 and surname of the person againBt whom the alleged offence is committed , and if he fails in that he fails in the proof of his case . Your Lord * ship ? , will see that there is no evidence whatever to show that the person against whom the shot was discharged was Mr . Harvey Garnet Phipps Tnckett . Therefore , I contend that they have entirely failed in au essential part of this prosecution . My Lords , this point ia expressly decided in the case of the

      King v . Robinson , in Holt ' s Reports , in which it is laid down that it is essentially necessary to prove the Christian and surname of the party against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed , and of that there is uo proof in the present case . Tho Attorsev-Gj ^ ekal insisted that there was enough of evidence to establish the identity of the Captain Tuckett sworn to by the witnesses as the gentleman shot at by the Noble Earl . The Learned Gentleman said , I believe there is no human being who , having heard the evidence out of Court , would hes ^ ate drawing the inference . I believe that tho \ same weight of evidence sufficient to convince a reasonable nun out of a Court of Justice , ought to convince a Judge or Judges sitting in a Court of

      Justice that that from which the inference is to be drawn is to be received . According to the rules of evidence , would anypersoD out of a Court of Justice doubt for a moment , that this is the same individual who fought on the 12 th of September . If the inference would have been drawn out of a Court of 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 think that this is not the same individual , of course you will fcay " not guilty upon my honour , " but you will not stop tho prosecution upon the objection which must be considered a trivial one . Sir Wm . Follett replied .

      Strangers were ordered to withdraw , while their Lordships coHsidered tho point raised by Sir Wm . Foilett . On our return to ihe House , we understood their Lordships to have decided the objection valid ; and we found ths Lord High Steward at the Chair putting the question to each Peer—Guilty or not Guilty , e . g . — " John Singleton , Lord Lyndhurst , how eayg jour Lordship , is lleury Thoma 3 , Earl of Cardigan guilty of this feloiiy whereof he stands indicted , ornot guilty . " Whereupon each Peer , upon his name being called , rose and placing his right hand upon bis breast , said , " Not Guilty upon my honour , " the only exception to tho 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 himself , & * id , " Not Guilty , upon my honour .

      BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . TO THE RADICALS OF ENGLAND . WALES

      SCOTLAND , AND IRELAND . Fellow-Chartists , —The fell monster , tyranay , has not only spread misery , woe , and destitution throughout the length and breadth of the empire—it b *» not only rendered tke home * of the productive clawes cheerless and unhappy , but it has torn from ociety some of the noblest patriots of the day men endowed with the most fertile minds—men whose hearts yearned over the nation ' s ills , and whose bosoms were the receptacle * of the sacred flams of patriotism .

      These " nobles of nature , " having dared to battle the common enemy , and vindicate our inalienable rights , were pounced upon by corruption's host—dragged before interested Judges—tried , not by Juries of their peers , but by Juries packed and prejudiced , and , ol course , doomed to protracted terms of imprisonment n unhealthy dungeons , which punishment has been , in many cases , and is now being aggravated by insult and contumely , heaped upon them by ignorant but well-paid Jacks in office . And this , too , in a Christian country —in a land of Bibles l ! and under the reign of a monarch denominated the " Defender of the Faith , " the essence of which faith is love , if unconnected with secular power , and ailowed to go forth in all its purity .

      We need not name the individuals who bate thus fallen into the enemy ' s hands , nor here detail the treat ment , the ltihmn > n treatment , inflicted upon them . We rejoice that th& days of the captivity of some of ottr friend * are nearly terminated . And , as each merges from bis prison-house . l « t us receive ^ hem again to our ranks as men worthy of the highest honours that can possibly be conferred upon them . Let us bear in mind that tome- of these injured patriots are literally ruined in circorastance *; this cannot be repairedby'mere votes of thanks or addresses , of congratulation . ' No , something more substantial muit be done . It i * tor us they have suffered , and It is by the advocacy of our cause that they we now ruined men .

      Of these , none is more deserving of our immediate attention than Mr . Jamea Jironterra O'Brien . Mr . O'Brien ia a man whose valuable and : indefatigable services to the cause are too well known to require comment He has never deviated from the principles he has so cogently and' fearlessly maintained ; but has , at all times and before every grade of politicians , proved himself to be the " poor man ' s guardian . " Shall the services of this sterling patriot—this master mind— -be lost to the world for want of either popular or pecuniary support The productions of his mind have done , and yet will do , incalculable good . They

      are auch as hava stamped his character with imperishable honour , and he will be read with pleasure , and profit by generations yet unborn . Then let not the historian of our age , while engraving the name of O'Brien on the tablet of patriotism , have to record , in connection therewith , the ingratitude of hia countrymen , : Hia services must be secured—he is , in himself , a host , and a terror to the tyrants of the earth . Like the brave O'Connor , ho is an ipdispensible link in the Chartist chain , which must be preserved , in order to accelerate the overthrow of corruption and facilitate the establishment of freedom .

      We certainly conolude , from the knowledge which the people possess of Mr . O'Brien , and from the effects produced by his mental labour , that a lengthenod appeal to the Chartists , on his behalf , Is altogether unnecessary . We need only propound our objects to our brethren to insure their adoption . We state , then , that we are anxious to show the enemies of our weal , that we forget not our friends , and we are desirous of shewing our suffering friends that we not only know our duty to them , but that * we are resolved to perform it . Therefore , we call upon our fellow men to aid ua in raising funds sufficient to enable our now incarcerated advocate to commence

      hia fire upon , tha enemy immediately after his liberation . Our objeot is to furnish him , as a national tribute , with press , types , and other materials , that he may not only preserve himself and family from the jaws of starvation , but that he may promote the general good of the community , by being enabled to give a fu ) J , free , and uncontrolled expression to his opinions . Such men ought not to be silenced by the power of despots ner by the weight of poverty . They mnst not Therefore be up and doing . Let us vie with each other in accomplishing this necessary and important object . Lose no time ; and what we dr > , let us do well and quickly We need not add more , being conscious the nation will respond to the call .

      A Committee for the carrying out of this object has been formed in Leeds , consisting of the following persons : — Samuel Fletcher , President ; William Brook , Treasurer j James Illingworth , Win . Roberts , V . R . Westlake , Andrew Gardiner , Benjamin Knowles , John Harris , George Walker , John Sanderaou , John Swaine , James Rothery , James Standeveo , John Ogden , Secretary .

      TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It was with much snrpriae that I observed in your last week ' s Star a letter , signed W . Hick , in wkich he appears to lay much stress upon the fact of my name being attached to an address in the Leeds TimeSi I have only to say that I do not feel disposed to spend my time in wrangling , or disputing , With those who , I hope , are as sincere in their desires to promote the people ' s cause as I am myself ; and , therefore , I merely reply , that in writing that address to the middle classes , we were anxious to have it read as extensively as possible—( and shall be equally desirous to

      effect the same object with regard to any future address we may write)—and , therefore , we sent copies to as many papers as we thought would insert it , believing that tho moro our principles are known , the more they will be ndmired and appreciated , and every convert gained to out cause strengthens our hands , while it weakens thoas of our enemies , whether Whigs or Tories .

But , in ooufequence . of euoh excessive bail being demanded—ope thousand pounds each , ( and for men , who could only earn about 18 s . or £ 1 per week , ) The Stbckport Committee could not wo sure it ; and Mr ; Clarke , the Secretary , came to Manchester j and related the circumstances under which' they

      were placed . The Manchester Committee melon Wednesday morning , ' about ten o ' clock , whose first step was to despatch' a messenger to Stockport , * o ascertain whether a letter had arrived from the prisoners , and adjourned to wait an answer . * At three o ' clock they met again , but received no letter . This put ' Ihe Committee to a stand , not knowing which way td proceed : some were for petitioning my Lord Normanby , while others were for taking different steps ; but ultimately it was agreed to adjourn till this morning , ^ xpeoting a . letter , and a person was deputed to wait at the Railway -office ,

      ( PROM THE LONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY .

      HOUSE OF LOHDS . The Earl of Devon asked the Noble Secretary for the Home Department , if it was true that the valuator of the Poor Law Union of Cloghereen , in the Couuty of Tipperary , when called upon to read his valuation book at a meeting of the Gnardiahs , had read the names , adding to the firBt name read , "Tory , " to the Becond name , "Tory , " to the third name , "Tory and disturber , " and bo on . This Was a proceeding bo extraordinary that he felt it neeessary to call the attention of the Noble Marquis * to the subject . The Marquis of Normanby said that this was the first intimation ho had of such an occurrence , but he should cause inquiries to be made respecting it immediately . He must say , however , from his knowledge of the assistant commissioner , that the accuracy of the statement was to be very much doubted .

      After the presentation of some petitions , their Loi 4 ships adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . Lord LisTOWEt , took the oaths and hia seat for tho Borough of St . Albau ' s , and Lord Eastnor for the borough of Reigate . Sir E . Knatchbujcl obtained leave to bring in a Bill providing for the appointment and payment of parish constables in England and Wales . Lord Sandon brought under consideration of the House , by moving for a series of returns , the state of the negotiations between Great Britain and Portugal , relating to the claims of British subjects ; arising out of the war of restoration . The Noble Lor dcom plained of the great delays which had taken place , and was anxious to ascertain whether there was any likelihood that these claims would be adjusted according to the original agreement , or whether they would be settled on any satisfactorily principle .

      Lord Paljierston regretted that he was not able ; to say that those claims had been entirely settled but since the close of last session great progress had been made , and he hoped , ere long , that the settle-, meat of them would be brought to a conclusion . A commissioner had been appointed by Portugal , and another by Great Britain , and the Belgian Minister accepted the office of arbitrator , ia the event of any difference between the commissioners . Oae point of difference was now pending before him , and upoa its decision , the business would be soon terminated ; as , upon the principle laid down in that one point , all the other matters , which were chiefly of detail , would be easily disposed of .

      Mr . H . Baillie moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the condition of the islands and Highlands of Siotlaud , with a view to affording relief to the inhabitants by means of emigration . The Hon . Gentleman stated that the distress in these districts was caused by ths destruo . tion of the manufacture of kelp , by the reduction of the duty on barilla , and there remained no hope of a remedy except by removing the population to some other country ; and various circumstances pointed out Canada as the country most eligible for them to be sent to . On the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Mr . Baillie consented to an or the . resolution by the introduction of the words , " to consider the practicability of affording relief by means of emigration . "

      After a few observations from Mr . W . S . O'Brien and Mr . M . Philips , the motion was agreoil to . Ou the motion Tot the second reading of the Tithe Composition ( Ireland ) Bill , Mr . Shaw complained of the hardships inflicted upon the Protestant clergy of Ireland by the delays which have taken place in the repayment of arrears of tithes to the clergy . They were told by Lord Melbourne , in the House of Lords , that they would receive 71 ) per cent , upon those arrears , and they consented to give up the other 30 per cent . The result , however , was ,. that

      they had only received 6 a . lOd . iu the pound , ot 33 per cent , instead of 70 . Mr . Pioox said that the delay arose from a great number of errors in the returns of the value of tithes . Those errors had been rectified in the course of the , last summer , and the most active 6 teps had since then been instituted , aud , in most instances 8 Hcces 8 fully , in the local courts , to recover tho arrears out-standing . Those exertions would be persevered in until the whole were recovered . The House then adjourned .
