      What mnst be the Christian feelings or moral taste of a Minister of the Crown who could wish to inflict the horrors cf this living death upon three of his fellow creatures , whose ultimate fate , his own apologist declares , the Cabinet Council had not then even assembled to determine ? But we were not aware , until we received from our correspondent at Monmouth that communication which appears ia our columns of to-day , that a second peremptory order , respecting the execution of the prisoners , was forwarded oir the following day , the ' 29 ch , directed to tho Governor of the gaol . This abo we submit to have been unnecessary , and , we believe , under the circumstances , quiteunprecedented

      ( Fnm the MvrningHetald . f ' ' The public will recollect with what seeming indignation the Globe denied the fact ' of a prereniptory ' order—aye , a peremptory « rder for the executant of Frost , " Williams , a » d Jones , bvrinfc oeen forwarded by the Home Secretary , ou the 28 th ult ., to the Sheriff of Monmouthshire - This peremptory order , too , be it observed , was wholly unnecessary in point of law , as a direction to the Sheriff to perform his melancholy and revolting duty ; but as a Keana of consigning to the atconies of despair the afflicted relatives and friends of the prisoners , whose fate the Globe admits was BOt yes decided on , read the apparently irrevocable doom of strangulation , decapitation , and « uartei-ing

      —as unprecedented as that letter which Lord Normanby sent to the magistrates ef Canterbury , interfering with the discharge of their duty in the examination of a prisoner—a letter in which , according to the authority of the Globe itself , tho Noble Secretary for the Home Department directed the magistrates as to the course they should pursue ; but when we demonstrated the illegality of any such peremptory interference by the Home Secretary with magisterial functions , the Globe backed out of the first statement , and softened down the order or direction into mere advice . As to the peremptory orders for the execution of the Moumouih prisoners , dated the 28 th and ^) th , they might havo been productive of fatal consequences to some of the afflicted relatives of the men thus

      apparently doomed beyond all possibility of redemption to the stroke of bloody and barbarous extermination . Suppose , what has happened on some occasions of such tidings being conveyed to convicted prisons awaiting thp result of judicial or ministerial deliberation , that a wife , a daughter , or a sister , had sunk into the arms of death , by the heart-breaking inteUigence , or been bereft of reason , consigned to the pitiable condition of a maniac for life—would not the person who sent those cruel peremptory orders , while it is not only acknowledged , but contended by the organ of Government , that nothing had been decided as to the fate of the prisonerswould not such person , we Bay , so putting human feelings to the rack of the -everest mental torturehave upon his head at least the moral responsibility of the fatal results ?

      A prisoner under such circumstances m ^ 'ht have been driven , as some have been , to escape a public execution by suicide , and then how gratifying it would have been to his family and friends , to find that Government had never intended to execute him at all , and that a reprieve had been forwarded for the victim in his grave . As to the legal objection taken by the counsel for the prisoners on their trial , the evening organ of the Government has the hardihood to call it a " quibble . " What ! an objeciion that an essential requisition of 311 Act of Parliament has been violated in a case of high treason is called by an organ of the Whig Government , a " quibble . " Yet this is the legal objection which nine out of tho fifteen Judges luive , after solemn argument of several days , held to be a valid one ; while six Judges have not only held that it is valid , but that it was also taken in time—two ef those Judges being the majority of tha Judges who sat on the Special Commission .

      In considering what ought to be the legal effecp of that verdict , we ought to look to the capacity or character in which the fifteen Judges meet to consider reserved points in such a case ? Do they sit in the capacity or a tQurt of error ? So far from it , they do not constitute a court it all . This is not what the public suppose , for the eouimon notion is that they are a court having jurisdiction over reserved points of law , like the same Judges sitting in a writ of error on a civil case in . the Exchequer Chamber . But it is nothing of the sort , and we hope one result of the Parliamentary inquiry which must be instituted into this matter will be to have a regular court of revision or appeal in criminal cases , both as to law and fact , established by positivestatute . We long a go suggested the institution of such a court , for at present tho criminal law of the country , both in respect to revision of errors in law and fact , is iu a most defective and anomalous condition .

      The Judges in the case of Frost and his fellow convicts sat , a ? in other cases of the sort , to consult and advise with the Judges who sat on the special commission . In our humble apprehension , their decision , like that of the fifteen Judges when called in to advise the House of Lords , could in law have only the effect of a recommendation , which the Judges of the special commission might adopt or not . But the majority of the Judges that sat on tho commission rejected that recommendation , and decided that the objection taken at the trial was taken

      in time , and was valid in law . If this be bo , it must necessarily follow that the prisoners on whose behalf the objection was taken should be considered to have been acquitted in law , jutt the same as if the majority had decided at the trial as they have since done ; acd this we Bay irrespective of any alleged promise or pledge on their part , to the eiicct that the prisoners should not be placed in a worse position by tbe objection being decided upon after verdict , than it' it were determined at the trial .

      We hope Mr . Godson will follow up the question which he put in the bouse of Commons in reference to this important matter to some practical result . Important we call it , for if ilie plain words of a Btatuto can be departed from in a case of high treason , the most dangerous laxity may ensue in the administration of criminal law , and the best statutable safeguards of life and liberty may be eventually overthrown . The obvious duty of tho Attorney-General , as Lord Brougham stated , was , that , on the discovery of the blunder , he Bhould hare had the trials postponed , and cured the defect by new deliveries of indictments , lists of witnesses , &c , in strict compliance with the letter of the statute , from which neither he nor any power in England had auy legal

      right to depart . The extraordinary precipitancy with which the prisoners have been hurried off , to undergo the commuted sentence of transportation , will be found described by our Monmouth correspondent . Is public justice afraid to show itself in the face of day—for this removal took place in the dead of night—or was there another object for hurrying them out of the country , connected with an apprehended discussion in Parliament of the point of law . ' But we trust that precipitate removal will not have the effect of preventing that question from being submitted to the deliberate consideration of the Legislature;—for if the point of law bo good , the prisoners ought no more to be transported than hanged . —Herald .

      ( From the Correspondent of the Herald . ) Monmouth , Wednesday . If the allusions of the Globe to the " characteristics" of the Herald have a reference to ita advocacy of the noblest attributes of man—mercy ana humanity , the Herald cannot contravene the charge—a charge which has won for it , not only here , but throughout the United Kingdom , the respect and approbation of all that is virtuous and good . The Globe not only " runa riot , " but foolish also , and completely fulfils the adage , Qiios Deus vult perdera , prius dementat . " Its every defence of the disgusting conduct of Government , brands the latter wjth everlasting dishonour . Well may the Marquis of Nermanby exclaim , "The Lord defend me from my friends . " The Globe denies that a peremptory order had been issued by the Government for the execution of its old allies of 1831 .

      Let any one endowed with common sense read the following despatch from the Marquis of Normanby to the High Sheriff , and say whether it contains a peremptory order or not . " Whitehall , 28 th Jan . 1840 . " Sir , —I am to signify to you the Queen's command that the sentence of death pas ? ed upon John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , now in the gaol at Monmouth , be respited until Tnursday , the 6 th of February . But the prisoners are to be distinctly informed that the sentence of the law will then be carried into effect . I am , Sir , Your most obedient humble servant , Normanby . w P . S . You will acknowledge the receipt hereof by return of poBt . "

      To the High Sheriff of the County of Monmouth . Was not that tolerably peremptory ! Perhaps the Globe will be eomewhai astonished to hear , that the despatch conveying the above , contained a little more— namely , distinct and positive orders to the High Sheriff , to make it a part of his ofiicial duty to press upon ihe minds of the prisoners , that they should not entertain even the hope of mercy , as they would certainly be executed on Thursday . So peremptory was the order for the execution—so imperative did the High Sheriff conceive it to be , that the Under Sheriff , Mr . Mostyn , left here on Thursday night , January 26 th , for London , to ascertain the mode in which the revolting portion of the sentence—the decapitatioa should be performed . There mast hare been something peremptory in tho order that thus would compel the Sheriff to undertake such a long journey .

      . But lest tiwMpreYiouaAwter of the 28 th might not uvebeen tafflcientl jCkertemptory , a second order for the execution of Uto prisoners , dated Jan . 29 , 1840 , was sent dowa to wnom was that order dirootedl » Not t 6 the higU . sheriff * not to the undw-Bberiff , not td the miyor , not to Major Mayott , or ftny -other of tho vistinjr magistrates of the gaol , but to tbe man who bad the custody of theirbodiesthe governor of the gaol . If such orders are not peremptory , and evince & etrong predilection ( though tbe power may be wanting ) for blood , we must consult some other authority than Johnson and Walker , for the meaning of plain and intelligible English . If , as thefGlobe wouloTnaveifc , the report dated 28 th of January was granted to enable Cabinet Council time to decide the fate of the prisoners , why send down a second order for the execution , dated Jan . 29 , unless that between sending the two orders , the Cabinet Council resolved that the prisoners should be strangled ? Ti _ 11 --1 . j . t- - ' . J _ . .: »_ . _ •¦_ - _« . - ,. non . il 1

      Then follows the Globe ' s justification of the gibbet . " As it was tho duty of the sheriff , " says the Globe , to see that execution done pursuant to the sentence , so it was bis duty to direct the preparations , necessary for it . " Who ever deiiied that ? But was it his duty , or the duty of any other officer , to outrage public feeling so far as to have the gibhefc iu a state of forwardness a fortnight before the fate of the men for whose execution it , was erecting , was decided ? Such was the case , as appears from the following announcement in the Weekly Dispatch , of the 26 th of January : —

      PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION OK MR . FROST

      AND THE OTHKlt STATE CRIMINALS . "Monmouth , Friday . —During the past week workmen have been engaged preparing the gibbet for the execution of Mr . Frost and his fellow-convicts . Taylor , the executioner , has also arrived , so that in the event of the reserved point being ruled Dgainst the unfortunate condemned , there will be no delay to the execution , which is appointed to take place on Saturday . Since the report of the scaffolding for the execution being in a state of readiness gained publicity , the most alarming rumours have been spread . All accounts agree that tho mining neighbourhoods arc in a very bad stato . The Chartists at first had no idea that their leaders would be executed ; and since they havo been convinced to the

      contrary , it is impossible to describe the rancorous and vindictive feeling that has sprung up amongst the miners and colliers , all of whom are Chartists . In consequence of the intended execution , several respectable families have expressed their determination to " quit Monmouth , in order that they may avoid so melancholy and disgusting a spectacle . All persons , no matter what tho parries may be , with the exception of a few , whom private or . personal hostility instigate to a thirst , for blood , are unanimous in their opposition to so bloody a tragedy as the execution of three fellow-men being enacted . If it bo permitted , it will infliet an indelible disgrace upon England , and affix such a bio ; upon » the royal escutcheons , as no act of our virgin Queen can ever efface .

      " From the above it appears that it is imperative on the friends of the prisoners not to lose a moment in getting up petitions to the throne for a commutation , at least , of the awful sentence tha ? will , undoubtedly , be executed against them , unless the prayers of the people , or some other powerful mediation interfere to prevent it . " Was it decent to have the gibbet for public exhibition in Mr . Benton's , of St . Mary-street , where it was erected for a week previously to its being required . Even had the prisoners been executed on last , Saturday , was it not the duty of Government to put down so disgusting , so barbaric an exnibition I But what necessity was there for such an expidition , when the gallows could have been

      erected in a day and a night , unless it was erected on a patent Whig construction ? Tho external workmanship was very simple , and merely consisted of a croos-beam for these victims , two uprights and wheels . Several men have said they would build it in a day . The Globe says , " On Saturday the Herald attributed the extension of mercy to the convicts to the indefatigable exertions of S'r F . Pollock . " On that subject all I have to say is , that to the able and ingenious defence made by Sir F . Pollock atwMr . Kelly , in the first instance , and secondly , to tlie indefatigable exertions of Sir F . Pollock men of all

      parties hero attribute the saving of the lives of his clients . Following up ita first observation , the Globe says , " But to-day ( Monday ) tho Herald states that the governor of the gaol was the instrument of rescuing the convicts from the executioner . " The object of the Globe ia an attempt to involve the Herald in a contracdiction , in which attempt it has failed admirably . What the Herald said was , that au application had been made to the Homo Secretary for time to make preparations for the execution , beheading , and quartering . The application was made by the authority whose duty it was to see the sentence carried into execution , and the application was complied with .

      It ia very easy for the Globe , which lias no information coucerning the transactions at Monmouth beyond what it filches ( without having the honour to acknowledge the theft ) from the Morning Papers , to contradict , by broad arid groundless assertions , well-authenticated facts . Instead of attempting to foist its ipse di . vits 011 the public , it would be much more prudent for the editor or proprietor of the Globe to have its correspondents here , to correct any error or mis-statement that might be put forth . I suppose that the Globe , with its usual recklessness and total disregard for truth , will deny that the unfortunate men were roused out of their beds at midnight , and , on twenty minutes' notice , compelled to leave their native country , without laving even the miserable consolation of taking a last farewell of their families . Even their solicitor , Mr . Owen , who by the merest chance leard of their intended removal , and who .

      being denied admission to them , waited under tho drenching rain , upwards of two hours , in the vain hope that he might hear thoir , last wish , bat f waa removed at the point of the bayonet from the van as his wretched clients came out—a splendid sample of Whig hamanity—a beautiful specimen of Whig paternal Government . If Frost and his deluded followers had not in 1831 supported the anarchists and equality gentlemen of the day , instead of Cabinet Ministers , Commissioners , Sea ., certain folks would be now in distant climes , atoning for the excesses , crimes , and outrages which they then encouraged , and in which they participated . But they have gained the object of their ambition , and now laugh at their dupes . As a proof how highly the Chartists estimate the able defence made in behalf of their chiefs by Mr . Geach , Sir F . Pollock , and Mr . Kelly , they purpose presenting each of those able advocates with a piece of plate , as a substantial evidence of their gratitude

      [ The following report , which we fear may be bow gomewhat stale , was in type for our last number , but driven out by more important matter . ] GBEAT MEETING IN THE LYCEUM , GLASGOW . ADDRESS OF GEORGE JULIAN HARNEY . According to announcement , by placards extensivtly ported throughout the city , a public meeting whs held in the Lyceum , on Monday evening last , to take into consideration the case of Frost , "Williams , and Jones , at present under sentence of death in Monmouth , and to hear an address from George

      Julian Hatney , late Member of the Convention for Northumberland , &c , " On the jearful position Great Britain is placed in at the present moment , and the remedies for all her evils . " The meeting , in the first instance , was called for the Bazaar , but owing , we suppose , to the reputation given Mr . Harney , by those who look upon him as an odvocate of physical force , er for some other cause , the Magistrates refused that place for the meeting , and the getters up were obliged to have recourse to the Lyceum , which , along with the anti-room and staircases , was crowded , by an impatient audiencelong

      , before the hour of meeting . The members of a small body , called the " Democratic Club , " under whose auspices Mr . Harney came to Glasgow , sccupied the platform . Mr . John Govon , President of that body , being called to the chair , read the advertisement calling the meeting . He then expressed a hope that the proceedings would be conducted in a peaceable and . orderly manner , and that nothing would occur having a tendency to interrupt the harmony of the meeting . They had always borne a good character for psace and quietness , and he hoped they would be unanimous . ( Applause . )

      Mr . Charles M'Ewan said he wished to ascertain by whose authority this meeting was called ? It was announced in the bill , calling the meeting , that it was was to take into consideration the case of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; now , the citizens of Glasgow had held ameeeting in that same hall last week , and done all that they could , by petition and otherwise , to liberate these men . ( Hear , bear . ) He thought that the terms in which the meeting was celled threw a reflection upon the proceedings of the former meeting , and might have a tendency to neutralise what had already been done . ( Applause . ) Mr . Pickerton , in answer to Mr . M'Ewan , announced that Mr . Harney had been invited to the city by the Democratic Club . ( Hihse ? and loud cheeis . ) Mr . M'Ewan expressed himself as quite satisfied , if neither the Central Committee , nor the Cemmittee

We should do our best to unite with each other , and co-opprare with each oUut , and all of us do our best to save Johu Frost , and hi > unfortunate fellow-sufferers I am happy to hear that a meeting has heen held la-t week , and if we have met a second time on the same subject , Where is the harm ? It is a mere dispute abcuc words to object to the meeting upon such ground * , when you

      are alike anxioes to ai-rve your fiiendx , and to do your best to bring our tyrants to a sens * of their injustice . ( Cheers . ) In my opinion there should be ntu'etio ^ s every eight for the same noble , purpose . You snould relax no effort until Fro 3 t and his companions are set free . ( A little interruption ensued here , from the noise caused by a party on tbe outside endeavouring ts gain admicsion by one of the ball doors . Mr . H . p-oceeded . ) I entreat your attention ,. sat for myself , but ior the cause which we have thte

      night met to advocate . ( Renewed noiae . ) If you will not listen to me this night , if you listen to each other , and do your best for your country ' s freedom , my object is gained . If you tell me that yeu do not wish to hear me , I will hail the decision as the announcement of the fact , that there are better patriots whom you would rather see beinre you . ( Cries of " No , no , " " go on , the noise has ceased . " ) Well , since I hear that it is only the interruption of those who wish to gain adnrittanoe , I will proceed : and I would again remind you , that you need not expecfrom me anything like a spet ch , in the u * aal stn * e of the term . I hops you will forgive the imperfections of one who does not pretend to be a University edceated gentleman , but a working man like 6 ne ot yoarselves . ( A laugh . ) We have met to-pight to record pur dertrrainatioa never to relax in our tffort " io

      to cause cur ' counta ^ become free and hapny , ivod to . adopt any and every means ia our power to arrive at that happy end . ( Applause . ) The . cry for Reform , in this country , is not a cry of te-day or yesterday . It was raised bo far back as the time of the great and glorious American Revolution . Tha still small voice waa raised in this island at tha termination of that affair , and such was the power and tone it assumed , that the Aristocracy were alarmed , and endeavoured to stifla the moral voice of the people by every means in their power . To effect this , they murdered Muir , Palmer * Skirving , and Gerald , for I hold that these patriots were aa much murdered in being sent to pine in a foreign

      land , as if their heads bad beea struck from their bodies on a scaffold . Tha cry for Reform in those days , was partially stifled in tho blood of those , martors , and you know , that so long as our fathers had victories , such as those at Salamanca or Waterloo , aad oxen roasted whole , and some other clap-traps to amuse them , rapine etalked abroad , and a great part of thi « fair world was desolated b y the hand of tho destroyer . But when they returned to their sober sense ? , they discovered that , in assisting to stifle the voice of Repablieauism iu France , they were tfvetting their own chains more closely arouud themselves . ( Hear , hear . ) Again , however , it wa « raised , and apparently with renewed vigour and

      activity ; and again was it stifled in the blood of a Baird , a Hardie , and a Wilson . But the * e patriots have not died in vain . Bat for them , young men like myself , would never have 4 liad their bosoms kindled with a love for liberty , nor glowed with a desire to avenge the blood shed at that period . ( Load cheers . ) The cry for Reform was still continued , but when the three glorious days cane to be enacted in Paris , when the artizan&and workmen beat 20 , 000 regular troops in the streets , and drove out one ' tyrant , but , trusting the shopocracy , got a greater hypocrite and a bigger scoundrel for their king in hii stead ; when this event took place , the cry for Reform was again raised in thi * island , and the

      Aristocracy were forced to concede the Reform Bill , a measure which the middle classes very readily lent their assistance to obtain—and having gained , pledged themselves to go farther and farther until justice was done to every cl « ss of the community . You believed the soulless wretches , and you trusted them , and so leng as you trust them , I pray ; God that you . may be deceived , for you deserve tobe deceivedso long as you trust suoh men . ( Cheerio ? . ) By the bye , by what sort of force did you carry tbe Reform Bill P ( Laughter . ) It was moral force , was it ? why , 1 think , it smelt very strongly of the physical . ( Renewed laughter . ) There was a threat , that if the Tories persisted in refusing to grant the

      measure , 100 , 000 armed men should march from Birmingham to enforce the people ' s demands . It was the moral force bints that a king should be dethroned , and and Queen's head should roll upon a scaffold , that alone carried the measure . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Violent meetings were held throughout the whole kingdom— -the red banner of rebellion was unfurled , and the black flag of insubordination streamed from every tower arid turret—that was the moral force which carried the Reform Bill , and I have a notion that a similar sort of moral force will gain you the Charter . ( Great cheering . ) Tbe Reform Bill was gained , and who got the fruits of the measure ? You know that as ? oon a * tbe vile shopocrats gained

      their objects , they became your open foes , and these they put in power to represeat you , instead of amending bad law ? , and passing good ones , instead of reforming , have rather deformed the institutiona of the country . They enacted more bad laws , and destroyed those which had the smallest spark of jug- , tice in them . Witness the Irish Coercion Billj the villanous English ' ^ Poor-Law Amendment Act and a Rural Police Bill . These are specimens ol middle-class legislation , which tells us plainly what we are to expect from class legislation . You all know the effects of the English Poor Law Amend , ment Act . It was made for the purpose of reducing wages , and compelling the people to live upon a

      coarser kind of food . When a poor working man is thrown out of employment , he applies for relief from the parish , and is informed that he must enter the Bastile , er he cannet receive support . He recoils , however , from the dread alternative , and , like the poet , who imagined he saw reprewnted over hell ' s gate the inscription , "No hope enters here , " he prefers offering his services to another employer , and takes eleven shillings instead of twelve ; and by this means he turns oat of employment another workman who i 3 labouring at the rate of twelve shillings . Mr . Harney then spoke for some time in a sarcastic strain to comment upon the profligacy of the Whigg , and made some very cutting : remarks UDon their

      measures . He then alluded to the commencement of the movement for the Charter , and reviewed the proceedings of the Radicals down to the present time . He mentioned the names of those members of the Convention to whom ho had once been opposed . William Lovett he honoured , although he had once been ia . opposition to some of hu views . Naw , however , they were friends , and their foes were their common enemy . The Convention , he would con Fes ?* , had its fault * , bat it had done much good , and , in his opinion , would have done more if the people had elected working men instead of ' respectables' to represent them . There were many members of the Convention , however , who belonged

      to that class , with whom he conld find no fault . Amongst thesa was their own representative , Mr . Moir . He honoured and admired Fesrgos O'Connor , and revered John Frost , who had acted towards himself like a parent . Dr . Taylor he looked upon as one of that class by birth and education , and he believed a more truly patriotic spirit never sat in that or any other associated body . There were others who did honour to their constituents ; bat he thought the people should have recollected one of their own principles , " No property Qualification . "

      and not made respectability any s « perioT claim to their attention . How would it do > he would a » k , if fowls were to elect foxes to represent them ? ( A laugh . ) And what better were many of that body ? So , in his opinion , it would always be , until they elected the . men with the horny hands ani unshaven chins , as Fearens O'Connor called them , to do their work . Mr . H ., in a very humourous way , next adverted to a number of silly stories circulated , regarding bis own conduct while in London . He characterised them as unadulterated lies , or , be
