Freedom's banners now unfold , Each determine to be free ; Imitate yonr « ire » of old , The contest is for liberty .

Britain's sons with eour&gs fight , Each determine to be free ; Pat the factions both to flight , The contest is for liberty . Britons , -will you still submit
To either Whig or Tery power ; Will you cringe beneath their feet , Or kneel their favours to implore ? No ! let every Briton cry . We ' re determined to be free ; Or stmgeling for our Charter die ; The contest is for liberty .

LEEDS . The Leeds Improvement Act . — CosscMPnoK of Smoke—We are glad , for the take of the inhabitants of ibis large town , that the powers of the new Improvement Act , on the subject of the coasomption or prevention of smoke from steamengine chimneys , furnaces , & . C ., are somewhat stringent ; not more so , indeed , tnan they ought 10 be , and we do hope teas possessing the power the Council will be determined to compel all proprietors of steam engines and furnaces , within their jurisdiction , to adopt such , means us will abate the intolerable nuisance to which the inhabitants of Leeds as weii as other large manufacturing towns hare been co Ions ; subjected . Much has been said and written on this topic , and we aro surprised to find that even yet there are parties so stupid , or so wilfully blind to their own interests , as to argue tha ; there ¦ are yet no means discovered by which smoke can either be
prevented or consumed . Various plans have been brought forward to effect rhe object , and amongst other 3 by Mr . Williams and Mr . Rodda , who , we believe , have fitted their apparatus to several mills in this neighbourhood , that of the latter being highly spoken of , though we have not yet witnessed it 3 operation . But on Saturday last , we visited several mills in Leeds , to the steam-engines of whicn had been attached a recently-patented apparatus , in-Tented by Mr . Prichard , of Barley Mi ll s , near Leeds ; and if the effect in all cases wo aid be the same as in those where this apparatus is already in operation—and we see no reason to donbt that it would be so—it will reflect no credit on ihe manufacturing community generally , if they wait , until they are compelled to remove a nuisance under which ail large manufacturing towns have so long suffered , 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 gaol of Derby . Two bojs , named Samuel Howard and Lot Lawton , together with Betty Lawton , have been committed on a charge 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 residing at Hclebonse , in the parish of Glossop . In this case , the magistrates , George Andrew , Moses Hadfield , Robert Aibton , and George William Newton , Esqrs ., refused to accept of bail .
Lot Lawton is sixteen years of age , and Betty Lawton , his mother , sixty-two . Immediately after their committal , they were placed upon , and hand-cuffed to , the SheSsld coach , on their way to Derby , in the charge of Joseph Oates , constable for Whitfield , in the parish , amid the shrieks of the woman's children and aged husband , who is very infirm and helpless , and crie 3 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 thi 3 event , ever appeared before a Magistrate , either for offence or crime ., 2 S e 7 er was more paltry evidence given in a Court of Justice than that which was given on this occasion against an evidently innocent boy and his aged
mother . A committee has been appointed for the purposes of raising a fond for the defence of the above victims , 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 oeen placarded with addresses , calling upon the people to come forward . and Eub-Ecribe their mites on this occasion . The committee earnestly call upon the work-people employed in the factories to subscribe weekly and liberally , ii order thai , _ on the day of trial , the needful may' not be wanting , nor the victimB sacrificed at the altar of tyranny and cruelty . The committee meet every evening at the house of Mr . James Coe , fcat manufacturer Howard-town , Glossop , where subscriptions will be thankfully received .

The singularity of the position of the body ( being nearly midway between the two gates , and therefore centrally erected in the lock , ) together ¦ wi th the finding of a pocket-book outsids the dock , gate rise to reports that the deceased had been murdered , robbed , and thrown in .

Strike ih Birmingham . —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 . Hohbstt . —As Mr . Wright , of Holies-street , Claremarket , was leaving a house which be 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 ont of work and was in the deepest distress , to remove some lumber which appeared to be of no value . Thefollowing day , however , Williams called upon bis benefactor with a small box containing £ 20 , which had been deposited several years since ana forgotten among the lumber . We trust that the poor man , whose necessities must have been a powerful temptation to dishonesty , was adequately rewarded .
The BoriLEFAiR . —This fair was held here to-day . The prices obtained by the few persons who sold have proved most disheartening . There was an extensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did not generall y 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 53 . each for the entire lot . Fat sheep sold at from 35 s . to 40 s . ; lambs , from 18 s . to 22 s . ; milch cowb , 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 Gazelle .
LisBURTt Fair . —The autumn fair of Lisburn was held last week . The show of horses was greatly inferior to that of other years . There were a few handsome young horses , adapted for saddle or harness , offered for sale , 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 curions feeling at present existing between the farmer and dealer , comparatively trifling sales were effected . Some
prime Bpnngew went off at from £ 10 to £ 12 . Fat heifers were in pretty good demand , and bfonghtfair 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 is more of imagination than reality in the panic which prevails so powerfully at present among the graziers . No foreign grazier csn 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 o ! Newbury , Berkshire , has been the scene of di sturbances , in which property to a serious amount has been wantonly destroyed . The circumstances which gave rise to the riotous proceedings are briefly as follows : there are within the borough of Newbury , two open fields , known as East and West Fields , which are held In severally by the respective owners of the soil , from or about the 8 th 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 Newbury , without any
stint or distinction whatsoever , and without reference to the possession or occupation ofland . There were no fences to prevent the cattle depastcring there frem straying ont of the fields into the public roads and streets ; they , consequently , when turned out , acquired the habit of straying , and becama restless , and frequently impounded . It was decided upon that these fields should be enclosed , under the provisions of the Common Fields Eaelosure Act , of the 6 th and 7 th of William IV ., c . 225 . The decision was confirmed at a public meeting of the inhabitants . A large portion of the lower classes declared themselves opposed to the plan , and expressed their intention of resorting to summary measures for their oim 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 owner of the hcrses with a large number of his partisans determined on rescuing them . They proceeded to the place whither the an . mals vsra being lz <\ , and committed an unproroied assiult on the men who had them in their possession . Mr . R . Fuller Graham , a solicitor of the town , put himself in communication with Aldridge , ( who led on the mob to tfee attack ) and informed him that if he . and his party were contending for what they considered their rights , there was a plain , straightforward rosnr . ar in which they should seek ta establish them , and that if they would take the course which the law 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 , wfco received his proposal with contempt , and replied to him by the most aggravating insults . The numbers soon increased to some kundreds , some of whom were the most dirsolnte and reckless inhabitants
of the town . A large portion of Mr . GrahamTB property was destroyed , several hundred yards of iron railing , shrubs , &c , being torn up , broken to pieces , and thrown into the road . A body of constables were sent ont by direction of the Mayor ,. but they were speedily withdrawn . In an address to the inhabitants of Newbury , issued by Mr . Graham , it is asserted that AHridge , the ringleader of the lawless and unprincipled mcb , bad been in communication "with the Rev . Dr . Binney , who was appointed to the rectory of Newbnry three or four years since by I > ord Melbourne . A fnil statement of these ontreges is to be placed , without delay , before the Home Secretary . £ This is the consequence of an unjust seizure of the comtcon allotment lands . of the parish by the Church banking party . Through a similar infamous Act of the present Parliament , the saopocrata have been induced by bribery and corruption to sell the rights of non-electors . This same business "was en Surday handled in St . James'BPark . ]—Evening Star .

CHESTER SPECIAL COMMISSON . Wednesday Evening . —The special commission issued for the trial of the prisoners charged with the commission of offences in various parts of Cheshire , during the recent turn-out 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 . CresaweU . They arrived at Chester abont fonr 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 , morethanhalf 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 seditions speeches , and conspiring to excite disaffection 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 timethat the whole of
, the cases will be disposed of by Saturday nexf . The case which will probably excite the greatest interest if ? that of the three prisoners charged with rioting at Brookfield , near Glossop , and demolishing th e mill aDd dwelling-honse of Mr . Samuel Shepley , who , it will be recollected , 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 Abinger , Sir E . H . Aldeeson , and Sir C . Cresswell , 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 namea : —Mr . E J . Loyd , of OWfleldhall , Foreman ; Messrs . H . Mainwaring , of Peoverhall ; R . Q . Leycester , of Toft-hall : R . G . Perryn , of
Trafford-ball ; J . W . Tatton , of Wittlnshaw ; G . P . Wilbrahaai , of Deiamere-house ; 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 . Daintty , of Northroad ; the Hon . C . E . Cust , of Leasowe Castle ; Messrs . C . S . Swettenham , of Somerford ; T .

The petty jurymen were chiefly selected from Birkenhead , opposite Liverpool . The Grand Jury being sworn , Lord Auingee addressed them as follows : —Gentlemen of the Grand Jury , you are assembled at this unusual season to discharge a very painful , but a very important duty . A due regard for the public safety makes it essential that all tumultuous and unlawful assemblies of the people should be put dawn by force , if necessary , and punished with the utmost rigour of the law . At the same time we cannot reflect on the occurrences which have recently taken place in the manufacturing districts without mixed emotions of compassion , and , if I may say bo , indignation—compassion at the weakness and ignorance of those deluded multitude * , who imagined they could effect the purposes they had in view
by force and violence , and who , as they nevi r fail to do , become the victims of their own delusion , and suffdr misery and privation , and many of them punishmentindignation at the artful contrivances of those who , to serve their own private objects , and theii own political ends , had promoted and excited the delusion of the poor and indnstrious 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 bad caused , in order that they might thereby carry into effect their own objects . I need hardly remind you that it is one of the evils incident to a nation of great manufacturing and commercial prosperity , that the oonntry which waa flourishing from that prosperity Bhould occasionally be subject to great reverses . It is the nature and habit of
industry and enterprise to keep foil 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 prodaoe and in tbe 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 ; the disturbance of friendly relations between this and other nations with which we have commercial intercourse ; tba uncertainty of the laws wbioh affect trade and commerce ; sometimes the public agitation of the great questions or principles on which commerce
depends ; sometimes even the opinion that the Government is net wise enough to propose , nor strong enough to carry important measures for the maintenance and advancement oi the public weal , —all these are circumstances which tend to paralyse industry and the enterprise of commercial men ; and at the same 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 have lately witnessed . I stated just now that we cannot view without emotions of compassion the situation of the indu&trious classes , who , not having a competent knowledge to form a judgment of their own as to the principles or the lights 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 secure 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 touched on relating to their own means of existence and their state of discomfort , indnced by crafty persons , who excite and mislead them , to imagine that they aro the fittest persons to govern themselves , and that they ought to have an equal share , if not a superior share , in the conduct of the Government and in the
making of laws . I am afraid that the manufacturing classes have been of late the dupes of this sort of persuasion ; and yon will find in the occurrences which have called you together sundry examples of this delusion . You will find that then is a society of persona 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 pnrposes , 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 what is the object of the Charter , which these men are seeking ? W ' tiat are the points of the Charter ? Annual Parliaments , Universal Suffrage , and Vote br Ballot . Yet , Gentlemen , you will find by the
evidence which will be produced before you , that it nas been inculcated upon many misguided persons that tbe sovereign remedy for all abnses , and the only means of putting themselves in possession of Euch a share of power as would enable them to vindicate their own riehts and secure themselves against oppression , is by the enactment of what they call the People ' s Charter . In what a 6 trange situation this country would be placed if those who have no 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 any country if multitudes were to make the laws for reculatina property , or were permitted to employ
physical force to restrain individuals from employing their own Jabour according to their own judgment , or preventing their subsistence ? The foundation of civilized society may be considered to consist in the protection of 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 asyBtem of Universal Suffrage produce ; for under it every man , though possessing no property , would have a voice in the choice of the representation of the people . The necessary coi * equences of this system would be , that those who have no property would make laws foi those -who have property , and the destrnction of tbe monarchy and aristocracy must necessarily ensue . I do not pretend to judge the motives of those individuals who entertain such views as I have
been alluding to , 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 of a form 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 of mixed elements formerly existed . There is a country which cannot be BDoken of without respect and
attachment , * s emanating from ourselves—I allude to America , from which you may collect what security for property ie afforded by a pure republic . In the diffiarent atetes of America there are pure democratic associations elected by Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot ; and some of these states have recently exhibited the regawV paid to property by democratic assemblies , by having protested against paying the pnblic creditor , and disregarded their own obligation to obey their own law made for his security . If such » system of democracy were established in England , the first consequence would be , that the security of property would be re-

moved ; tha public creditor and all commercial accumulations would be destroyed ; and , finally , or perhaps the first object aimed at , would be the destruction of property in land . There wonld baa universal agrarian law . The formation : of such a Government in a country like this moat work universal ruin and distress ; and , after inflicting the most bitter of all tyranny , that , of a democratic assembly , would terminate in a despotism . Bat it appears that persons entertaining a design to establish sneb . » form of Government have taken advantage of an occasional depression of the commerce and manufactnres of the country , and the privations which the labouring classes are Buffering , for the purpose of encouraging them to
resist their masters , and to abstain from labour , telling them that this was the only means within their reach by -which they could obtain the accomplishment of thei * favourite Charter . I am glad to be Informed , gentlemen , that on some portions of the-mnltitndes to which such topics were addressed they failed to haTe 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 voice of these Chartists . Nevertheless , gentlemen , yon will find by the evidence which will be produced before you that great pains were taken to inculcate these doctrines on the minJa of the peaplo , and to encourage them by the force which belongs to assembled multitudes to carry them into effect . In the cases which will come Viefore
you , gentlemen , you may find persons entertaining these doctrines . I am desirous not to be understood as stating that the mere holding of any abstract opinion on political subjeots is an offence ; but if these persons who entertained snch doctrines as I have alluded to endeavour te enforce them by popular tumult , they must be gnilty of a grave offence . If yon 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 diaoTdei in order to carry into effect their favourite objects , there can ba no doubt that such persons are
justly liable to punishment ; and you , gentlemen , will doubtless feel it due to your country to bring them before this Court There is another class of offenders wbo will be brought before you—namely , those who joined in assemblies of the people , the object of which was by force to turn others ont 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 he should l abour ? 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 tha 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 is 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 tbe 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 might not continue at their labour 1 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 work without a certain rate of remuneration , but 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 wonld recommend you to find thebillB . The tbe third class of offences is in its nature not so aggravated , and yet 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 turaultuously collect together , creating alarm to tbe neighbourhood in whieh it assembles , and assuming a character dangerous to the public peace , every person who joins it becomes an implicated party , and 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 the 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 he increased the multitude , tbe amount of whioh 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 persons joining assemblies which had illegal objects in view , or which conducted themselves in a tumultuous 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 , tbe onus probandi as to their innocence will afterwards be thrown npon 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 the character of the assembly to be unlawful . Yon 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 cases amounting to this offence will come before you , I am not sufficiently informed to say , but I have reason to think that some of the coses may take
that shape . All the different classes of offenees which I have mentioned will probably come under your consideration . If you find any persons 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 pulling down buildings , these offenders wonld come under a different class , but they would deserve yonr serious attention . I believe I have now described the character of tbe different offences , and lam not aware that I conld add anything which might direct your inquiries . Still I shall be very happy to give you , if needful , 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 the delusion I have referred to . But , gentlemen , the law takes no account of such delusions ; and if a man commits guilty acts , be must be prepared to submit to the consequences of his conduct It is tine 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 publio discussion ; but it is very singular that tbe time chosen to break out was a period when a more settled commercial policy bad 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 thatthisahouldbethemomsnt chosen to foment these disturbances ; and the country has suffered in consequencs 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 the return . .
( Before Lord Abhiger , Sir E . H . Alderson , and Si ) Cresswell Cressivell . J
CONSPIRACY . William MoorhouBe , S , tees , 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 cotton trade and . manufactures there and then carried on by the peaceable subjects of our Sjvereign 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 , ont on bail . This Individual not appearing , was called npon 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 . Jervia M . P ., M * . Welsby , and Mr . Pollock , appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr . Yardley for the defence . / Singular as it may appear , these were the only barriBters in Chester , one only being ! left ( Mr . Yardley ) for the defence of the prisoners , and sb two courts were sitting in the coarse of the day ,. prisonen were obliged to be tried undefended . Mr . Pollock having opened the indictment , The Attobnet-Genebal , in stating the case for the prosecution , gave a succinct history of the commencement and progress of the disturbances'in < the manufacturing districts , and proceeded at considerable length to point oat the character of tbe disturbances . He called the fallowing witnesses : — *
William Clayton was the first witness called . —He deposed , I am a constable of Hyde . On the first Wednesday in August L heard a bell ringing in Hyde on that day . I attended a meeting on that day to the

i — iMIWTii extent of about 2000 . I bxw William Moorhonse and Robert Wild , and Stephen Shirt . At this meeting a person of the name of Condellet was tbe chairman . He read a resolution , which was seconded by Moorhonse , that if there was another reduotion wouM they one and all come oat * and there was a cry of " Yea , yea" Condolett- then proposed a show of hands in favour of it , and he then said , I hope the people of Hyde will pwvetrue 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 Mi . Yardley . —I am a constahle at Hyde . I have seleotsd that part of his 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-green . There were about 409 persons present Moorhonse 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 f * r a wage question , or a religious question , it is for a national question ; bat I will not intrude on yonr time , as you will be addressed by my brother Chartists from Hyde , Ashton , and other places , whoare more able to address you than I am , and they will explain to yon that we ChartiBts 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 the meeting in the presence of Moorhouse . He told them the church ( pointing to Matham Church ) was bnilt for a good purpose , but now filled by thieves and 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 rilled 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 you ? . Now the prisons are full , and in the prisons
they do not want yon . " On the same day , in the afternoon , I attended another meeting on the same spot . Thera might be about 800 or 1 , 000 persons present . Moorhouse was the chairman , and I saw Robert Wil < ie there . He addressed the meeting , but I took no notes of his speech . He advised ( hem to stand for tbe Charter . The meeting Listed nearly three hours . Moorhouse also addressed the meeting . He said , " you have been told the evils we labour under , and I am requested also to tell you that a meeting will take place at Stalybridge to-morrow morning , and will proceed from factory to factory and turn them all out , and when we are out we will stay out until the Charter , the only guarantee for wages , becomes the law of the land . I hope to meet you all to-morrow morning , at Staly bridge , where we will join hand in hand in this great national turn-out . " A show of hands was taken , and they agreed to be present at the meeting at Stalybridee on Monday , the
6 th . I attended a meeting in tbe market-place , Hyde , about six o ' clock in the evening . I should think there were at least three thousand persons present . The prisoner Moorhouse and 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 the si 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 part to go to Ashton , and another to Stockport . I attended another meeting on the same day , and it was much longer than the one in the morning . '¦ " . ' .
Mr . Yardley , for the defence , cross-examined this witness at some length , but elicited nothing whatever calculated to shake the fairness of his testimony , and the Judge then adjourned the Court until to-morrow ( 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 15 . h of August last , for the purpose of putting a stop to the labour of persons employed thereat . Sir E . H . Alderson inquired whether the prisoners hndeounselto defend them ? and Mr . VA . XIQHAN , a solici tor , stated that though he "was instructed to procure the aid of counsel for the 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 . Yaughan that , under tbeBe circumstances , be 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 tbe 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 in a verdict , acquitting Taylor , and finding the other prisoners Gnilty . They recommended Kershaw to mercy on the ground of his previous good character . The same parties were again indicted for riotously assembling at Marple , and conspiring to disturb tbe pnblic peaoe , by preventing persons by means of force and intimidation from continuing at their work .
In proof of tbe 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 the law of the land . It was also stated that a person introduced to the meeting by Taylor had made use of : inflammatory language , and had advised the people to act as Lord Kinnaird had said in the House of Lords he would act —namely , that if he wanted food he would take it where he conld get it The prisoner Taylor , who Is a working man , and appeared to psssess considerable intelligence , addressed tbe Cour t in his own defence . He denied that he had used words of a seditious character , and contended that one or two passages ought not to be selected from the speech he bad delivered to the meeting in question , but that the tendency and character of the whole of it should ba considered .
The Learned Judge , in summing up , said that Taylor might have used improper language to tbe meeting be was addressing , bnt 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 tbe words attributed to Lord Kinnaird , it was improbable that they wer e ever used by the Noble Lord , or the House of Lords weuld no doubt 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 Jury Acquitted the prisoners of a conspiracy , but found them Guilty of attending an unlawful meeting . Both the Courts adjourned until nine o'clock next merning .
FRIDAY , October 7 . This morning , Lord Abinger sat alone in the Crown Court ; two other courts having been opened , one at the Nisi Pritis end , and the other in the Grand Jury room . In the former , Mr . Baron Aiderson presided ; and in the latter , Mr . Justice Crosawell . The trial of the prisoners , arraigned on the pievious day , was proceeded with . James Wild , one of the Hollingworth rioters , who , at the opening of the ease , 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 with ; and Mr . Yardley , on the part of the defendant , consented to the arrangement , with the understanding that the evidence given on Thursday should be taken as applying to him , as well as to the rest of the prisoners .
A witnesB named James Bnckley , a labourer , was called to prove the offence ; and hia testimony , such as it was , was supported by one or two others . Mr . Yardlet 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 the 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 Abinger presided in the Crown Court , Mr . Baron Alderson in one at the Nisi Prins end , and Mr . Justice Cbesswell in the Grand Jury room . Lord Abinqeb took his seat on the bench this morning at a quarter-past nine o'clock .
The )¦ Attobret-Genehae ( with whom was Mr . Sergeant Jeryis ) 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 Hague , pleaded "Not Guilty , " and Fearns and Tail ©* pWded " Guilty . " The Amobnet-Genbbal stated the case . Mr . Yardlex addressed the Jury in defence Of the prisoners * ' _ ¦ ¦ ,.,.. „ The Atxobhex-Genebai , replied briefly .

William Turner , Samuel Kaye , and William Robinson , wore indicted for having , on the 13 ; h of August , riotously assembled , and , with mzuj oihei 3 , conspiring together to stop the prooess oi ' labour , at Marple , in the county of Chester .

This being the last case that was to oomo before the cour , his Lordship ordered the whole of the prisoners who had . been lound Guilty before him during the three days to be placed in tho dock to receive sentence .
Lord ABiNGFR . inaddressingtheprjsoners , repeated some of tho observations delivered in hi-i charge to the grand jury as to the illegality of the prisoners ' conduct and tho dangerous tendency of their principles , aud the course . they had adopted to enforce them upon others ; and concluded by passing on them tho following senteoces : Joseph Buckly , William Moorhouse , Robert Wilde , John Farhur&t , and Samuel Lees , each two years' imprisonment with hard labour , in Chester Castle ; Stephen Shirt , eighteen months' imprisonment , with hard labour , in Knutsford House of Currection ; James Wilde , Thomas Thorpe , James Hague , Wm .

Smith , the : three prisoners who were wounded at Mr . Shepley ' s mill , tho short period of three months only , on account of the injuries they had received . • ... '¦
The business of the court beins : ended about three o ' clock , his Lordship took his departure from the city immediatoly .
( Before Baron Alderson . ) . The learned Judge took his seat on the bonch this morning at half-past nine o ' clock , and proceeded with the trials of the prisoners charged with breaking into the Stookport workhouse . The whole of the cases tried to-day in the three Courts were all moro or less concerned in the attack on the Stockport workhouse , and as the evidence was in each 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 tried before him yesterday aud found guilty of riot to be brought before him . They were severally sentenced as follows : —Thomas Morris , Charle 3 Harrop , Samuel Gosling , and Samuel Shepley , to 18 months' imprisonment , with hard labour , in Chester Castle ; and Joseph Done , ouu year , in the samo prison .
Tho sentences passed npon the prisoners tried today , who were convicted of riot and felony bX the Stockport workhouse , were as follow : —Thomas Hayes , transported for 14 years ; John Charlesworth , Michael Leyfield , and Thomas forks , 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 hard labour , all in Chester Castle ; William Smith , James Kershaw , and Wm . Morton , one year , with nard labour , in Knutsford house of correction . Tbe business of this court was concluded at five o ' clock . '
¦ ( Before ! Mr . Justice Cessweil . ) In this Court , also , the cases tried wero for riot and felony at the Stockport workhouse . Charles Howard , William Seddon , and Thomas Warhurst , transportation for life ; John Smith , Wra . Miller James Smith , Joseph Cowan , and John Selby , transportation for ten years ; Joha Burges ? , Edward Walker , William Barnet , Michael Lonard , John Duncalf , William Simmons , Thomas Simmons , Matthew Bradley , Joseph . Hesketh , Anthony Duffy , Joseph Wright , William Hargraves , John Swan , Thomas Summers , Wiliiam Stonehewer , LeviGreenhalgh , Ralph Brooks , John Liddell , Stephen Simpson , and Edward Hadfie'ri , each to twelvemonths ' imprisonment , with hard labour in 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 advantago —every legal technicality which the cunning of the Crown counsel could discover , have been greedily snatched at by them , in order to conviot the Bnbappy prisoners . We know of nothing in the annals of history , with the exception of tho "bloody assize" of Judge Jefferies , which at all assimilates to the late unconstitutional proceedings at Chester .
