      ANOTHER "POP" AT THE QUEEN'S CARRIAGE . Sol the Q , ueen-shootcrs are not yet satisfied Another tool—a humpbacked fool this time—must try Ms hand at regicide , and fail ! -Why , what bungling dags these Q , aeen-thooters aro ! One would think they all belonged to the jackas 3 racing club at Norwich , at whose . trials of speed the last ass alwavs

      wins . To what agency shall we ascribe the safo keeping of her Majesty , amidst so many diabolical attempts ? Is it that royalty itself is an impenetrable iEgi 3 , through which the assassin ' s ball cannot penetrate ? or is it that the quasi Queen , shooters , h&Yiug no purpose to tffect her death , always take care to reserve their fire till the sacred person is in -safety \ The very general op i nion seems to bo that Francis

      never meaut to hit the Queen ; whila the present poor wretch did not even succeed in making his pop-gun speak . Seriously , we should be glad to know how much this hump-backed boy has been premised for his job , and who employed him . Wo should be glad tn know what connection these Queen-shooting experiments have with the visit of Mr . ' Head Pacificator , " Steele to Bow-street , an 4 his cock-and-bull story of a temperance orator , who is afterwards discovered to be a Chartist orator

      We give the following from tho Times Police Report of Monday , and . we entreat cur readers to ponder it wcllover : — " Bow-street . —After the night charges had been disposed of yesterday morning , Mr T . Steele , ac-COmpanied by some ruembera © I" the London Repeal Association , waited on Mr . Jardino , the sitting magistrate , for tho purpose of communicating a circumstance which came to his knowledg « while presiding at a meeting held last night in the Bloomsbury district . .

      " He said , he considered it his imperative and Folemn duty not to lose a moment in putting the Courc in possession of in f ormation ho had received at a reoeut meeting of Repealers whose loyalty was unshaken and in every particular opposed to violence . When the proceedings were about to terminate a member roso , and said he had just left another meeting which was held for a very different purpose , where he heard a person make use of language of a most inflammatory nature . Tho expressions u ? ed were , that her Majesty should bo ma'dp away wuh . He ininediately dissolved the meeting , and in consequence of what took place in St . James'spark , which every lojal subject must feel htdigiiarjt at , he , as Chairman , considered it his duty to lay the matter before the constituted authorities .

      " Mr . Jardine inquired if the person was in attendance who gave the intelligence at the Repeal me . rng ? " ' . Ir . Steele replied , that although ho repeatedly so icited him to attend , he refused unless compelled by magisterial authority , " Mr . ^ Jardine—In that case I am at a Joks how to act , for the subject coaxes to my knowledge secondhand . " Mr . S : eele said , the individual alluded to was a tailor named Crow , and ho assigned as a reason for not attending , that he was engaged in finishing a coat which should be delivered at a ceitain time or ho would disoblige his employer .

      A member of the meeting said Crow resided at 11 , Great Chapel-street , Soho , and a message sent from the Court would , no doubt , cause him to attend . The Isnguage was used at an abstinence meeting held in Ship Yard , Temple Bar , and was to tho tffect that the Queen , the Bishops , find the aristocracy should be made away with . On hearing of tho circumstance from Crow he related it to Mr . Steelo , and could further satisfy himsolf upon the fubjecc on Thursday nest , when another meeting will be held . " Mr . Sicelo said he should consider it a dereliction of his duty , if he neglected to lay the facts of the case before the Court , and for this purpose came on Sunday , but finding it closed , went away .

      " iMr . Jardine was willing to give him every credit for the prompt manner in which ho had taken up the subject , and every attention should be paid to the information he had given . " Mr . Steeie—I am a warden of the Lont'on Repealers , and my obj ct and that of every member ' of the body to -whkh I belong , is to assist by every meaus in my power to preserve the peace not only here , but nho iu my native country . "Mr . Jardine ciirejt ? d Inspector Modlicoti , who was present during the conversation , to send a coastablc to Crow , and let him know his attendance wa . 3 Immeabtoiy required . " . ^ Ir . Steele and his friends then thanked tho magistrate , ' arid withdrew . - ¦¦¦ _"" ¦

      M In ths course of the day Crow entered the court , and being tak-rn into a private room , Mr . Jardine had a short coiivcisation with him . He repeated the account given by Mr . St-ielo , and sxid the languago was made use of at a Chartist meeting , but he considered it merely such a tirade as is usually made u = e of at their m ? e :: ug 3 , and that nothing * of . a thr « ra : < Tiing " naiure was intended against Her Maj jsty or any other person . Ha then gave his address , and promised , should he bo required at any futuro time , to pay every attention to the orders of the Court . "

      how this Mr . Thomas Steele is Mr . Dam ex . * OTo . nkeli ' s " head paciticatar" for Ireland . What in the name of pacification is he doing in England now ] Way 13 he not in Enni 3 , seeking to protect the people against wholesale murder and butchery ? Are there no " pacific" relations to ba established in Galway ? Is all Ireland so very tranquil—is thera so perfect an absenco of all cause for complaint in "; he Green Isle" that the " Head paciftcator" of that unhappy land has no call to his post ! Or has the '' pacificator" raised in his patron' 3 behalf so strong a commotion at home that he is glad to escape in tha smoke and sneak over here out of harm ' s way , while the dupes of his " pacificating" exertions as being shot , starved , and trampled on in his own country ?

      In any case it is a coincidence worthy of explanation that Mr . "Head Pacificator" Steele should be in England just at this juncture , when his services are so eminently ueccEsary iu Ireland ; that he should be in London en that precise day , when the third attempt , or mockery of an attempt , at Queen shooting v / as made ; that he should , on that very evening , Sanday evening , be holding a Repea ] meeting in London ; aad that ho should break up his R- peal meeting , and scatapar off to Bow-street , with the ridiculous story we have just quoted—as evident a concoction as w .-. s ever " got up , ' but quite

      a sufficient peg , when taken in connection with the rcgicidal" attempt of tho morning , wherein to hang a list of graTo fears of factious " retpictability , " from ragged Chartism and temperance , anil consequent " strong measures" for the " putting do r . vn" of those dangerous associations-The whole thing is to us quite sufficiently cl » ar ; but we have no doubt that if it suited their convenience , Mr . Daniel O'Coknell and a few more of the " Royal Loyal" Liberals could strip off all the seeming mystery which hangs about it , and tell us simply what it all means .

      How singular , too , that this absurdly base and makvolent attack upon the Chartists and tho Abstinence Societies should come now from Mr . Thos . Steels , a prominent member of the " Complete Suffrage Union , " and "head pacificator" of Mr ; Daniel O'Conseix , the right-hand man and legal adviser of the Sfeurga men ' s council , whose digest of the laws bearing noon political :--societies , ; cut so conspicuous a figure in the very last numbers

      of the papers devoted to the Complete Suffrage interest . This directing of public attention , aad consequently of the attention of public functionaries , to the Jaws against Political Associations , coupled with Master Da ^' s recent denunciation of the Rechabite and Temperance Societies as illegal , with the vagary of his " head pacificator" just related , and with the evidently forced connection of this " move" with the late Qaoeu-sbooting expsrimentst

      are 10 us sufficient indications of a purpose on the part of the two factions unitedly to make another grand effort for thejoyerthrov ?' of that wide-spreading system of religious and political investigation which they perceive must , if suffered to go on , eventaally overthrow them . Whenever the struggle may come , depend upon it the liberals , the educationists—the " new movers" of all grades will be found the

      people ' s direst and bitterest enemies . We shall then know how to estimate the sincerity , and find out the ultimate object , of tho middle class tools , who , whilo bawling for union , havo so adroitly contrived to disunite ¦ . us—at leaBt as far a 3 their power went . We shall then find out the real object of the Stukge Conference , and the Complete Suffrage Union , and all tho- * other- means made use of to break up the people ' s ranks .

      As a further evidence of the -systematic efforts of the middle olass liberals to excite the Buspicion , and draw the attention of Government towards the Chartist body , we give the following clumsy fabrication from the last number of the Weekly Chronicle , the paper of the Honourable Member for Sheffield : — " A Plot Discovered . —We give the following letter vci b . et lit . as it has reached us , and without a word of--comment ; . — .

      If any Chartist can read these two extracts , and fail to find in them evidence of a conspiracy to fasten traitorous designs ; and schemes upon the Chartist body , we pity tho obtuseness of his understanding . Let our friends , then , beware . Let the organization of our National Charter Association be rigorously adhered to ; lot no devtatioa from it 3 rules be suffered to creep in , in any part of the kingdom ; let all foolish and violent language be carelully excluded from all our moetiiigs , and from all our speeches ; let us havo no empty threatenings ; give no oncourairement to bi ^ talkers ; and , above

      all , beware of strangers . We havo good reason to know that this is necessary . Spies are now actively , engaged , travelling from place to place , insinuating themselves at Chartist meetings , when they can get a hearing , and labouring to excite the passions of the people , that they may bo able to go and report to their masters that "their treasonable speeches are eagerly applauded . " Beware , we say . We know that men of this description are out . Let no lecturer be employed anywhere who docs not produce his card of membership , and his credentials from the proper officers of the locality from which he comes . Let all

      public speakers be carefully attended to , and let the people repress at once every tendency to rabid violence . There are fools as \ te \ l a ? knaves abroad . There are men who , with the best feeling , and the greatest amount of BJncerity , have an utter want of discretion ; and who will hazard any sort of language to procure applause . These men , however big may be their talk , are always tho first to flinch when danger comes . Let the people be steady .. Our cause stands well ; let us not mar it . Straightforward adherence to principle , without violence , will lead us certainly into a position which shall defy the ingenuity of faction , and ensure success .

      TH ^ AFFORD VICTIMS . The bloodhounds have been a # ain laid upon the scent , awd have again seized upon their quarrie . The arrows of Toryism , yet pointed a la Castlercagh and Sidmouth against the heralds of true principle and righteous policy , have stricken down one of our most tilentcd and virtuous champions . There are shaft-8 * for ' all who will dare to plead our cause , if we do not immediately paralyzo the arm that directs the weapons .

      Mason , the talented , patriotic Mason , is doomed to six months' imprisonment for addressing a meeting ; not for sedition—not for inflammatory language ; these were not even alleged against him . Though he was -. committed for riot , he was convicted of the new-fangled constructive offence of "holding an unlawful meeting , " and with him seven other poor fellows , for thes crime of atteudinst the said unlawful meeting . They are severally sentenced to imprisonment in Stafford Gaol ; Mason for six months , two of the others for four months , two for three , and three for two months each .

      The facts of this case are fresh in the recollection of our readers . Some time ago Mr . Mason , in his capacity of Caartisfc lecturer , was instructed by a delegate meeting to visit Sedgley , a little Tory-ridden village , tho petty authorities of which had insolently and ilkgally threatened to arrest the first Chartist who should dare to visit that town . Oa learning this , Mason , like a brave and honest fellow , replied at once that if he had no other inducement , tho fnlmihation of this illegal threat wag quite / sufficient to fetch himto Sedgley . To Sedaley .

      therefore , he went , and a goodly number of poor people assembled to hear the truths of Cliartism explained and proved . There was neither riot nor disturbance , till a ruffian constable broke the peace by assaulting Mason , and dragging away the banoh on * which he stood from under him . Mason remained on ^ tho ground a considerable time afterwards , to allow the constables an opportunity of arresting him if they thought fit . They did not think fit to do so . Mason broaghi up the constable for the assault ; and the macistrates , by

      way of evincing their regard for the constitutional liberty of the subject , committed him and seven others for riot , of which the issue is as we have above stated . Our informant tells us that on Thursday , the 30 th a person in the capacity of aspy was sent to sound Mason about his giving up his dofonce and employing counsel instead ; to which Mason replied , when informed by the person that he was ¦ emp loyed . ' for the purpose of ascertaining whether- ' he would dp so or not , " That he would sooner rot in a dungeon than abandon conducting his own defence . "

      On Friday erenins ' , after being kept in anxious suspense all day expecting their trial to be brought on , a proposition was / sent to them , to the effect , that the 1 prosecutors were-Willing 7 to abandon the case against the seven nien : on their entering into their own recognizances t » keep the peace , leaving Mason to answer for tbe Minor Offence , at the same time not mentioning what this " minor offence" wasi Oa this communication being reoeived , steps -were taken to assemble the men

      together , to ascertain what was to be done . On the question being put to them , the following magnanimous reply was agreed to :- ^ That they would accent the proposed terms if Mason was includep with them , but if the prosecutors would not agree to Mason ' s being included , they would all go . to trial and sink or sipirn together" The prosecutors would not agree to this , and the trial came on the next morning ; Mr . Mason defending himself , and Mn Allen and a Junior Counsel defending tho other prisoners .

      BeamaN , the brutal constable , was tho principal witne 33 for the prosecution . He admitted , on crossexamination , that the meeting was peaceable anijl he pulled the bench , on which Mason stood to speak , from under him ; that he did riot ask Mason to come down , nor did he attempt to arrest him before he tilted him off the bench ; provipg therefore that he created the " riot . " He said also that he would arrest any one again that attempted to hold another meeting in Sedgeley , bo it LEGAL or ILLEGAL . When all the evidence had been given , and the cases were concluded ^ the Chairman loft the court AND WAS FOLLOWED EY TWO OF THE JURYMEN and he and one of

      THE JURYMEN BETURNED INTO THE COURT TOGETHER again !!! The Chairman thon commenced " summing up" the evidence , and the Jury having retired for a few moments , returned a verdict of " Guilty " against John Mason for holding an unlawful meetiDg , and against the others for attending an unlawful meeting and riot . The Chairman , previous to passing sentence on the prisoners , complimented Beahan , and told him

      he shouW be " rewarded , " He then sentenced them as follows : —John Mason to six months in the common gaol , " as ha was the ringleader ; he should make an example of him , as they were determined to put down ihe holding of such meetiugSi" !!! Job Smith , four months ; John . Jones , four months ; Edward Rjchard 3 , aud Samuel Hansom , thrco months ; Thos . Caswell , Wm . Morris , aud Wm . Caswell , for two months each ! ! !

      The prisonera are . allowed to find their own provisions , and as yet have been allowed visitors , and pens , ink , and paper . By this prosecution , there are twenty-seven persons cast upon the public for support , or left to starve ; namely , eight prisoners , fourteen children , four wive 3 , and an aged widow , mother of one of the prisoners . Wheniho liberty of speech j the only remaining privilega we have , is menaced , will the people be

      apathetic ? When violence , without a cause , is done to qur heralds , while proclaiming tho principles of universal political equality , dare they to be listless ? We know too well that poverty , like the king of terrors , is making fearfiil havoc , and that > ve aro unable to meet all ' the- appeals that are at present being made . But this subject must , be taken into consideration . If Wt 5 maka no provision for the victims or their families , then have the enemies of our liberties achieved an

      easy , but not the less complete triumph . To make provision for the victims of the present reign of terrar , who are or may be sufferers in the cause , we respectfully submit the following mode of meeting every emergency , viz .: —That as there are about four hundred and sixty local bodies 01 Chartiits , each locality pay sixpence weekly , which would amount to the sum of j £ 11 10 s . and that the famiiy of each victim receiva the sum of , say ten shillings per week , or in accordance with the

      number and Other circumstances of the families respectively . Soma may of course pay more , but we would suggest that no locality pay less . This mode will require no new machinery to make it operate , as there is a Victim Fund Committee existing in Manchester , appointed by the Chartists at large , whose sterling honesty aud assiduous attention to their onerous duties have fully justified the confidence reposed ia them . The money may be forwarded monthly by districts of associations in the same order .

      This would be a mode , if adopted , of effectually stemming the comiiig torrent of perseculion , as well as affording a guarantee to those who hare the moral courago to advocate our cause , through good and bad report , that their families will not literally starve , although they themselves ioay languish in dungeons ^ -martyrs to tlic sacred cause of liberty . There haa been a local committee appointed for

      this case , of whioh Mr . Samuei , Cook , draper , High-streetV Dudley , is Treasurer , to whom the South Staffordshire delegates direct that all monies intended for the relief of these victims should be sent . Ours is merely a more general suggestion . It is for the people to say what precise plan they will adopt , but somehow we do hope that provision will be made , and at once .

      The Gommittee appointed by a pnblic meeting of the Chartists of Brompton and Northallerton appeal to their brethren throughout the kingdom on behalf of this honest and good man . The once strong and healthy Brook is becoming fast emaciated , and must shortly be the victim of a prison , unless rescued from it by the votaries of the cause for which he suffers .. The Committee cannot think this will be permitted . He has the privilege of maintaining

      himself ; but that privilege ia useless to him without the means . Let it be remembered that a Clayton and a Holberry have been alread y sacrificed , and let not Brook be added to the number for the paltry trifle that may be required to find him food . The Committee will publish a monthly balance sheet for the satisfaction of subscribers . They request i that all monies may be sent to IVIr . Isaac Wilson ^ weaver , Brompton , near Northallerton . They thus leave the case in the hands of tbeir Chartist brethreo , and trugt that their appeal will not be fruitless .

      HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF THE EXILED PATRIOT , JOHN FROST . Tub foliowing extract from a letter we have had handed to us , addressed to a person residing in Sheffield * from a relative at present in Van Dicman ' s LaDd . The letter is dated Port Arthur , December 14 th , -1841 . * Wo omit the names of the persons sendinfir and receiving the letter for prudential

      reasons ;—— " — * " Frost , Williams , and Jones are in this settlement . Frost has been sent to Hobart Town , to stand a trial respecting some letters he sent to England , which were published in the newspapers , and got to the ears of the Government , so he has been Bent to this settlement to hard labour . He has done a great deal of harm to himself , as he was very well off . before , being employed as a clerk in the Commissariat ' doffice , butncnvho will be atharalabour for some tinie to come , and every one that 23 convicted here of any offence , must do his probation—( hat is , go to hard labour in chains for at least two years . They may get a ticket of leave , but if they

      leave themselves , they are sent back - . again to Port Arthur in chains , it may be for seven or fourteen years , or oven for life . Thus a man may ba trans . ported for seven years from England , but he may have to serve three sevens more-before he has done , if he does not behave himself . There are a great many runaways , but they are all brought back ; and if they steal anything' they are sure to be hanged . There is about eighteen hundred convicts here , and they are kept so much under that one man may take them one by one and flog every man of them . There are some of the greatest villains here that ever England produced , but here they are as tame as sheep . "

      We have another letter from Hyde , Isle Of Wight , confirming the statement . . Englishmen ! what think you of this } What think you of the Welch patriots , doomed to exist for the remainder of their lives amongst ^ the greatest villains that ever England produced" I What think you of the virtuous John Frqst working in chains ! Do not your veins run fire , your breasts heave , and your hearts swell with indignation , as you picture to ypurselves his UHmerited sufferings ! But what will you do ? Petition ?

      Memorialize ? No ! No ! Yqa may petition till the crack of doom ere-you will restore these martyrs to their homes . What should you do then ? Get the Charter ! Only when yonr Charter is law can you hope for the restoration of the exiles . Rally , then ^ round the banner of the Na » tional Charter Association ; put yourselves in a position to wrest from your oppressors your rights , which haying won , you may then ( but never till then ) obtain the return of the patriots upon whose limbs are now clanking the fetters of bondage and the dains of slavery .
