At tformantnn , ne lefi ihe Manchester train to proceed to Hull , and dixected- a portsrto remove his luggage ; thiB , iowever , wasixot done , and it was taken forward to
i * ecs . The prisoner was in the same carriage as that in which he had travelled from Oldbam , and sat upon his portmanteau . Hs gave information at the Snation of what had occurred , and was assured that his property would be taken care of ; and he then proceeded to Hull , afterwards to Hudden-field , and got to Leeds on Thursday morning , where he found his portmanteau , which had been broken open and ltecontents taken out , in the hauds of the police , who had also several articles which it had cona m * ^ T ~ ^ ~^^ * > - - ~ ^ n ¦ - ^ WF ^^ p « 4 T «^ VV 14 tamed
at the time he lost it . The property , which it contained consisted of four silver watches , seven slvar watch guards , abont £ 84 in gold , silver , and notes , ana a variety of articles of wearing apparel . Ihe hat case contained a black stock and other articles . The next witness was a porter at the railway station , named Isaac Barr : he deposed that the prisoner arrived at the Leeds station abont ten o dock on Monday the 12 i inst ., she had with her iu the carriage a portmanteau and a hat-box , which she said were her property , and which she wanted niKito
ng tna Saddle Irm ; -nritness carried it part ol the way , when she got a boy to carry it forward but instead of going to the Saddle , she appears to have gone to the IVhite Swan Inn , in Call-lane ; Jfor - : ; n «« » * e landlord , said she came there with the property , which was carried by a lad , between ten and eleven o ' clock . Here she left the arbcies , and they were next traced to the possesion of Wm . Lord , a porter on Warehouse-hill , whom the prisoner engagedtocarry them tothe Railway Tavern in Meadow-lane , from whence again tne portmanteau was removed ina carrier ' s cart belonging to Sarcne !

But previous to this latter removal the trunk seems to have been opened ; for a witness named James Morton here says that by the direction of the prisoner he carried a bundle for her to her husband ' s house at Brighoase , and the trunk was lsft at Smithy ' s Moor in the
Bar , custody of Thomas Thornton , the keeper , who received instructions from the prisoner to forward it by the first carrier to the Saddle Inn , in Briggate , Leeds . It was accordingly forwarded by John . Howarih , of Mirfield , who , from some cause not explained , seems to have taken it once more to the White Swan , where it remained until about one o ' clock on that day , when it was taken possession of by Serjeant Sheard , who , with the policeman M'Gregor , succeeded in thus tracing the route the portmanteau had taken , and in recovering a portion of the clothes which it bad contained . The monty and ustches , however , are missing . The prisoner was apprehended ai Heckmondwike , on Tuesday , the 13 zh .

An animated discussion took place respecting the orders from Dnblin , for the exolnsion of the Chartists . ' Mnch sorrow was expressed at the conduct pursued by Daniel O'Connelland his counsellers , bat the only alternative being a separation from the parent association , they were compelled to refuse admission to any person professing himself an O'Cohnorite Chartist . The names of nine individuals ware-taken down by the secretary and sent io Dnblin to have their money retnmed , the ward not feeling justified in returning it without the express consent ] of the Dublin council .
The evil policy of the line of conduct pursued by the " Agitator , " was ably' shown up by Messrs . Bathbone , Caughian , Wheeler and others . Daring one period of the evening a little heartburning prevailed , but the Chartists eventually retired in perfect good feeling , resolving to continue Repealers , but to stand aloof from any connection with the associated body until they were more sensible of the value of their co-operation . The Secretary entreated them not to blame the ward for their exclusion , but attribute it to the preremtory orders they had received . In Chelsea and various other parts of the Metropolis a ' similar line of conduct was followed by the Repealers in reference to Chartists who had been associated with them .

The preparations for the demonstration were conducted with zeal and
perseverance , and uavo bedn crowded with signal success . For weeks past the Very Rev . Dr ; Collins , P . P ., and clergy ofthe town and neiehbouringrparishes exerted their just influence to impress apon their flocks the imperative necessity of obedience toi the laws and deference to the authorities , lessons to which the strictest attention wasyielded Cautions were given that the slightest injury should not be done to the plantations of the gentry—that not a bough should be cut without leave jot" the- proprietor , and in no instance was the injunction violated . After first mass , the Very Rev . Dr . Collins , in a brief but eloquent and energetic exhortation , took occasion to repeat the wholesome ;' advice he had so Ireauentlv
given . A party of the 10 th Hussars arrived hero the day before yesterday from Baltincollig , and two companies of the 56 th Raiment , under Major Leighton , and a large body of police , has been brought in from the surrounding districts . Captain Douglas , the stipendiary magistrate for Mitchelstown , has been here also ; but having witnessed the orderly and peaceable demeanour of the thousands who assembled in Charleville and other parts of the : country within the last few weeks , and apprehended no infringement on the law , he had the soldiers and police confined to the barracks for the day—though it would have bevn as well to have allowed them to mingle with the masses : by whom they would be treated as friends and brothers .
The Liberator slept ; last night at the residence of the Rev . Mr . McCarthy , in M-itchelstown . He W 38 received there with tbe liveliest demonstration of respect , attachment , aiid veneration . Bands played through the streets till , an advanced hour of the night , and this morning it was evident that the whole population intended to accompany him in triumph on his route to Mallow . The amateur b&nd , dressed in iheir ^ ay uniform , * left ? at nine o ' clock , accompanied by an immence concourse in carp , carriages , on horseback and on foot ; and as they moved onwards the crowds were augmented at every point by tributary thousand ? , merry-hearted and buoyant , and pressing , in spite of heat and dust , t 9 tbe centre of attraction—the town of ¦ Mallow .
Mr . O'Connell arrived in Donpraile at two o ' c ' , accompanied by tbe jHt ad Paflifiwi-tor of Ireland There he was received ] by the Reverend Dr ^ Collins , and © ther gentlemen , ! members of the committee . Every house was decorate ^ wuh boughs and flowers —arches spanned the streets—tho myriads by whom he was accompanied , making the welkin rin ^ with their soul-stirring acclamations * and taking : the most tender care that the slightest injury should not be done to the most . 'helpless infant , hundreds of whom were carried in their' mothers' arms . Here Dr . Collins took a seat beside the Liberator and the immense cavalcade moved op , joined at intervals by new accessions—the bands play ing national and martial airs . The proeswion left for Mallow at one o ' clock . ( [ ¦ ¦' . . * ¦ ¦{¦ .
It would be impossible to calculate the number , which were fully equal to , if they did not surpass , those who formed the ^ memorable gathering in Cork on the occasion of the Liberator ' s last triumphant entry . The procession formed into line ^ Under the directions of the stewards , whose orders were implicitly obeyed . The procession went < tu in the most admirable order , amid the velum ? m cheering of the myriads and the music of forty band * . The heights and fields were crowded with spectators , and , according to the estimate of thei be * t calculators , there could not have been less than four hundred thousand persgns congregated vvh < u the precession reached Mallow .

exclaimihgy" Old Ireland "— " Ireland for the Irish " — " Redeal "—the enthusiasm should be witnessed to be appreciated . There were few repeal wardens without theirinsigniao' office . The inhabitants of the districts in whioh the repeal fund has been collected . exhibited their cards either on the top of the wands which they carried , or on the front of their hats , or suspended from the coat button ; and as a manifestation of enthusiasm and determination , we have not witnessed , as we set out by stating , anything which surpassed this . Tno procession having gone tbrongfh the town , raturued to a large area , wjhere a platform was erected ana . where the meeting was held . The platform was crowded , and a countless multitude occupied the space in front .
The Very Rev . Dr . Collins was called by acclamation to the chstir . j Mr . R . B . Barry read the petition , ^ which was proposed by W . Tract , E = q ., seconded by Patrick Scully . Esq . The Rev . Mr . M ' Cakthy , C . C ., Mallow , then read an address to the Liberator . | Mr . O'Connell then came forward , and was received with tremendous cheering , wh ^ ch was repeated again and again for several minutes . When silence was restored , he proceeded to observe that there was one thing which gave him pleasure , and that was the length of time he enjoyed the confidence of the people , and the ready obedienco fhey paid to his wordas if it was a command ; they assembling
, in their hundreds of thousands , as thejy would assemble , joining with him in carrying out the great principle of peaceful agitation and restoring to tho country the national dignity of which ] it was deprived—( hear , hear , and loud cheering . ) Irelaud had been branded and vilified—the tongue of the defamerhad calumniated her—and she was laughed at as well as ehe had been insulted—( hoar , hear , hoar)—and even one of the heads of tue present administration branded her inhabitants as aliens in-blood , in language , and in religion , aud when he was taunted with making distinctions between Saxon and native , small blame to him—but when he was so taunted he could say that he heard
it from the man who was one of the heads of their administration , but who , when he made the distinction , was a simple peer of Parliament—he heard that man say that Ireland was alien in languagein religion—( groans ) . He hoped they would not groan tym—when he heard him say that they w-re aliens in language , he replied thattalfeing the same language , the Saxons spoke it with a hissing , croaking tone , whilst the Irish poured it out from the heart , and gave the significance of cordiality to tne words they uttord—( loud cheers ) . Yes , the Lord Chancellor of England made the taunt . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was standing by Lord J . Russell at tho time it was made . Lord John avowed he heard it afterwards in the House of Commons . The Chancellor
could not deny it , and he ( Mr . O'Gonnell ) threw back aliens in t ^ eir teeth , and said the Irish werenot Saxons ( cheers ) He spoke ofthe example they fere giving to the world—but he would not speak without witu ? s « es . He was counsel for Ii eland—the people were his clients—he had none other—he gave up the oro + ession in which he had been bred , and , m wnich he was successful , and now for the remainder ef his lit © , which wonld not be long—( cries of " God forbid ')—he was resolved to derote himself to the advocacy of the Irish people and old Ireland—( vehement cheers ) . And the first proposition he proposed in the face of Europe—for humble as he was , Europe listened to his words—and they were carried by the , wiid wmd 9 of
heaven to the shores of free America . [ Uisnrsi ; proposition , then , was that the Irish were the first people on the face ofthe earfch ; they were the most moral , the most temperate , the most orderly , tne most religious people in the world—( loud cheers ) . He said that they exceeded in religion , in [ morality , and in temperance , any nation on ihefaoepf the earta—( renewed cheering ) . It was the practice ot the alien Saxons—he thanked Lyndhurst for the word —to boast of their superiority . The contest was between them and him . He would prove his case , and Europe would bej his witness . The honourable and learned gentleman referred at considerable length to the appropriation of tho
tithe rent charge , to the ballot , the ] faxity ot tenure , the absentee drain , &c , &c , and after observing on the threats ef physical violence with whwh they wore menaced , he cautioned the people to keep themselves within the limits of the law . and let those who threatened them attack if they dare—( loud applause . ) The honourable and learned gentleman t . hen went on at some further length to comment on the threats of Peel and Wellington , abd on the unconstitutional use made of the Queen ' s name , and to the fact that Lord de Grey , in sendingjdown his gunbrigs , asked whether Kilkenny wap a

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Wednesday . June 14 . Mr . Hcme gave notice that on Tuesday week ho would bring forward his motion respecting the pension of the Duke-of Cumberland . Mr . MiLNER Gibson put various questions to Sir R , Peel on the state of public business , more particularly as regarded the intentions of Government with respect to the Faetorif > s Bill , the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill , and the Local Courts Bill . Sir Robert Peel replied that Sir James Graham would this day state to the House the course which he meant to take with the Factories Bill .
Mr . Hindley inquired if Government had investigated the circumstances attending the introduction of 400 bales of American manufactures into this country , consigned to Messrs . Bar > ng , Brothers , and Co . He trusted there would be an opportunity of getting at the real facts of the case . Sir R . Peel said his Right Honourable Friend , the President of the Board of Trade , would probably answer the question . The House then went into Committee of Supply . On the proposed annuity of ^ £ 3 , 000 a year to the Princess Augusta of Cambridge being moved , Mr . Hume opposed the grant . He disclaimed a"y intention to reflect on the character of the Dufee of Cambridge . He reflected only on Ministers , who could propose such a gra-nt . He denied that there nephew of Qveen Charlotte ? The proposed frant
considering tbat the Royal Family were long-lived , he calculated might in , forty-five year ? amount to £ 500 000 ; and he denied that there was any siifficiunt ground for puch a grant . After some further observations , in which he took a review of the civil isst , the Honourable Mensb * r eonclnded by moving an amendment , in the ' ol lowing terms— " That in-the opinion of the committee , the fi'inple allowance so long enjoyed by his his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to make provision for his children ; and it is neither wise nor just , especially in lbs present state of the country , and the deplorable destitution of the labouring classes , to propose any grant by way of dowry for the Princess Augusta Caroline of Cambridge . " Mr . Liddell , amidst general symptoms of impatience , protested against the amendment .
Sir R . H . Ikglis opposed the amendment , and contended that tho proposed grant to the Princess Augusta waa not worth one-teath of the sum Mr . Hnmn had calculated . Mr . F . Barikg suggested that ike grant > o tho Princess Augusta should not take effect til ! the decease of the Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz , who at present enjoyed a pension from this country . Colonel Wood contended that the grant proposed was any principle or precedent upon which the country was . called upon to support the children of Royal Dukes . If there were , it might extend as fairly to their grandchildren , and what w » . s the limit to which these grants might not extend I He asked why should the children of the Duke of Cambridge be treated differently from those of
the Duke of Susses ;—and with rpfpreace to the grant immediately under consideration referred to a griint of £ 2 , 000 a year , which was already enjoyed by a relation of the Prince of S ' roiUz , under an Irish Act of Parliament , of 38 George III ., under which he calculated that £ 'i 35 0 '> 0 had been paid to that personage . He ptvt it to vlie Government whether such grants did not impair the position . of the Grown in the affection 3 of the people . What would be said now if it w « proposed to the Honse of Commons to grant £ 335 0 "O t 0 tho fell far below the deserts ofthe Duke-of Ca abridge , whose nance was at the head of all the chaHupsin this country , and who never refused to prca . de at dinners for charitable purposes .
Mr . Ward thought the Duke of Cambr' ^ ^ . ould provide for his own daughter ' s marriage , as any other nobleman or gentleman did . Con ° . Mring the distressed state of the conntry , he p «• -. , it to the House whe . ther it was fit thus to add v- the tinBel of royalty . Sir R . Peel urged that the Duke of Cambridge , though he had undoubtedly received a larg * iu <* 6 me , had to transmit a Dukedom to his successor , with the means of keeping up its dignity . The proposed grant was not to take effect till tho death , of the Duke of Cambridge . Mr . Hume having disputed the right on the ground of precedent , for t-uoh a
vote , he would remind the House that aii the daughters of George the Third wsre alfnwed £ 16 , 000 a year , and the Princess Sophia oc" G'oucester , who-was not so nearly allied to Ik i Majesty as the . Princess Augusta , receiv . d £ 7 . 000 a year . The grant to the Duke of Sir litz already existing , was made in cousLqRene < j f . i' lerritorial sacrifices to which he had to gu '^ . ' -i during the French Revolution . He abstain- -i iron entering into details of calculation , bur !•?* ¦¦! r .- >» ght that the House , with all regard to the di-Meting circumstances of the country , would be fuilv justified in making such a grant as that u . : cu he proposed .
On a division , the motion was -carriod bv 223 against 57 . The report will be consid * rio -, us uay . Tlie Coroners Bill was read a second time , alter which the House adjourned .
Thursday , June 15 . Sir James Gkaham withdrew the i- 'J'icdtioa Clauses of the Factory Bill . The report on the Queen ' s message wa = I . ought up and agreed to . The Canada Corn Bill wa 9 read a third i'cs and passed . The House th / n went into committee or 'tv Irish Arms Bill , and after several speeches haa fc-j .. bi . de , the debato was adjourned .

WRECKING IN TYRONE—STRANGE REVELATIONS . Dungannon , Saturday Night . —One of the Repeal party , named O'Neill , brought forward a cross charge against an Orangeman named Reddick , for presenting a pistol at him , and the account that he and his witnesses gave of the transaction was as follows : — He stated that when be heard the music ho went cut to the roadside with others to look at the procession , and , being the foremost of the party , Reddick presented a pistol at him , and told him if he did no- go back he would give him tbe
same death his father got—( the father was shot at his own door some years previous by the Orangemen , and not one of them wa << ever } prosecuted for the murder ) . This irritated O'Neill and his friends . They broke one of the drums , and assaulted one of the Orangemen as deseribed . For [ this assault or affray , provoked at the moment , and wholly unpremeditated on the part of the quarrymen , seven of them have been held to bail to stand their trials ; and on the other eide , informations have been taken against Reddick for presenting the pis ' at O'Neill ; thus was the quarry affair so far disposed of .
Mr . Coulson and the other magistrates who presided yesterday took their seats on the bench at ten ©' clock , The professional gentlemen ! on both sides were in attendance , and the case of the " wrecking " was proceeded with . J Mr . Clements read the names ofi the owners of the forty-five houses " wrecked , " and then call ' -d witnesses who deposed to the destruction of tho houses of John M'Gladugan , James puffy , and two other persons . James Money deposed that he paw the police and Mr . Wray standing within about seventeen perches of M'GIadugan ' s house , when the Orangemen were throwing stones at it upon their return to Dungannon . ) Mr . Clements said for the present he had closed
his case , and what bad been proved with regard to the few houses in question was applicable to tbe whole forty-five . Ho assured theirj worships that such was the state of terror that | existed , it was with difficulty witnesses had been induced to come forward to prove as much as they diet . Mr . Butt said there was one of hijs clients named Patten , who wished to tender peace information against two persons named M'Rorryjand M'Glade . Patten then came on the table . j Mr . Butt—Tell the bench what these men said about threatenmgyour life . ] Patten—Will I tell all that passed ?
Mr , Butt— Yes , do . j Patten—I met M'Glade with M'Rorry . Says the latter to me , " Are you alive 1 " "I am , " says I . " You are a fool , " says he , "to have had that meeting in Dungannon ; what is it all about ? I thought thai you would be the last man in th ^ world to bring tho wreckers out to my fathers ' s house ; had I been there that day yoti would be the very first man I phould have knocked down . " Then ! eays I to him , " the reason of Ike meeting of that day was , that there was orders from the Lord Licutenaiit for us to come in , and of course we came" j Mr . Clements—Oh , this is a new ; light : this id
worth the whole proceeding ; go on . J Witness in continuation— Then , ' | says he to me , " you are a fool , as the Lord Lieutenant did not treat you well , for after ordering you all to come in he offers a hundred pounds reward to prosecute you . " " I believe you are right , ' ? says I —( loud laughter ) . Then says M'Glade to me , "if you ever come the way again you may bring your sheet and coffin with you . " f Mr . Clements—Can you tell who it was informed yon that it was by orders of the Lord Lieutenant that the boys were called to Dunuauioa that day 1 I won't tell . I
Mr . Coulson—Ib it you cannot or you will not ! cannot tell . j Mr . Clements—Were you ever introduced to the Lord Lieutenant ! Never ; I would not know him if L saw him . | Mr .

THE DEVIL AMONG THE TAILORS . " , JEW t > . GENTILE . On Saturday last , Mr . J . C . Pirani , manager at Mr , Hyam ' s tailoring establishment , in Briggate , { along with his solicitor , Mr ; J . E . Upton ) , attended at the Court House , before Messrs . Grace and Nell , to support an information which had been laid by him against Benjamin Spencer , better known as f * Big Ben , " for having posted on tho walla of the ; town certain placards emanating from the society of journeymen tailor ? , and which were said to contain malicious and libellous charges against
Mr . Pirani and his employer , . and which placards were without s printer ' s name , " contrary to the statute , " &o . MThe affair originated in certain disputes between r . Hyam and the journeymen tailors ; and the ohject of the information in this case was , if possible , to obtain from the defendant the names of his employers , and thus to trace the printer of the offensive placards . \ The case having been called on , " Big Ben " placed himself behind , and in close contiguity to , his : solicitor , Mr . Naylor , and two witnesses for the plaintiff advanced to the table and were
sworn . Mr . Naylob—( addressing ihe Bench ) -yBefore the case is gone into , perhaps your Worships will order the witnesses oat of Court , except the one to be examined . The Bbwch—All the witnesses must retire . Mr . Upton—Are there any witnesses for the defence ? Mr . Naylob—( turning to his client)—Have you any witnesses , Mr . Spencer \ 7 Defendant—No , I ' ve no witnesses ; I ' ve nowt for no witnesses to do .
Mr . Upton then stated that the information was laid against the defendant , fprhaving distributed in the town , and thus assisted in publishing , sundry placards , containing a false and scandalous libel upon Mr . Hyam , and his manager , Mr . Pirani . The Act of Parliament undrr which he was proceeding was the 39 Ge © . HI ., c 79 , which was entitled " An Act for the more iffectual suppression of societies established for seditious and treasonable purposes , and for the better preventing treasonable and seditions pra eiiees . " It con 1 ained | provisions to restrain the piinting or publishing of > ny papers or book 9 whatsoever , intended to bo published or dispersed , without the name and place of abode of the printer bejng thereon , and made it penal in any sum not exceeding , £ 20 , nor Ies 3 than £ 5 , upon any person who might be found distributing or publishing such bills or papers as aforesai d ; with the offence
3 \> £ x the defendant charged , a young man named Joseph Charie > wortb , who had been newly rigsed from the shelves of the " pantechnethia" for the occasion , deposed that as himself and comrade were going along Call-lane , on Wednesday morning , they saw one of the bills in question , which they stood to read , and , after passing on to some distance , they saw the defendant posting another of the bills , and , on being asked , he gave them one , remarking that he thought they were not Leeds men . The bill they received from him was the one now produced , and was the same us those that they had seen him post . In cross examination by Mr . Naylor , the witness said he was a tailor , and worked for Mr . Hyam ; he had been oronght as a witness in consequence of having told a young man in the shop what he had seen . Another witness was then about to be examined , bnt .
Mr . Naxlob rose and said he did not intend further to deny the charge of having posted the bills ; what he contended for was , that the justices had no jurisdiction in the matter ; he thought his Learned Friend was not aware that the statute under which he had chosen to proceed had been subsequently entirely repealed . Mr . Naylor then quoted from the Act 2 and 3 Victoria , c . 12 , the preamble of which recites -o . 79 in the 39 ih George III ., and which declares the same to be repealed . Sectiou 4 of the same Act ( 2 and 3 Vic . ) also enacts that no actions for penalties shall he commenced , except in the name of the Attorney or Solicitor General in England , or the Queen ' s Advocate in Scotland . This stata ? e , it would be observed , repealed the clause in the 39 Geo . III ., and , therefore , he contendedhis friend was out of Court .
, ' Mr . Nell . —( to the Magistrates' Clerk)—Is that so , Mr . B&rrt Mr . Bake . —It appears to be so , sir , from what Mr . Naylor has read . I was not aware of it . Allow me to look at the Act . Mr . Barr then referred to tha two statntes , and after a careful perusal , said to the Bench—There is no doubt , sir , that this latter statute not only repeals the fermer , on which the information has been laid ^ but repeals also your jurisdiction . ' The Beach . —Then w # have no further power in the matter . Mr . Baks . —No , sir . ;
Here was a ** Cat among the pigeons" at once . Mr . Pirani advanced to his . ! solicitor "looking unutterable things , " and some minutes were spent by them in comparing the statutes . At length , however , they arose , and taking their papers and books , hastily retired , * B ? g Ben" coolly remarking , as they passed the place where' he was still standing , ** TGentile ' s betten t' Jew this time , 1 think .
