      ' t ^ ose a paaucai cnaracter—ttics a - ^ culating commerce—will be strengthened by the ti . IftUe W 1 " ^ s who attem Pted to achieve politi-. ' , w : -r by moulding the franchi se to their accommodation , uarc discovered that their adoption of free . ie p rincip les will accomplish for them what the li etVai Bill failed to secure , does it not follow , as f atter of course , that henceforth they will rest Jjjeir claim to power upon the adaptation of laws to Hb p rinciples of free trade rather than upon exfea representation ?

      Ti e several admissions of Lord John Russell , as to 0 $ meaning and his bwx construction of the Reform Bill , precludes all hepe of progression from him . His ( jecl aration , that the object of the Reform Bill ti-jslog iM apreponderance of power to tftc landlords , father with lis assertion that the bill was to be jjfcen asaFixALSiEASUEE , isnotreconcileable with his allusion to a party ivliose avowed object is to destroy fat e & y landlord class , for the preservation of whose . pur tlie nolle lord tells us the Reform Bill was nacttd . I write thus pointedly , to show you that a political party , struggling for power , will select those means for its accomplishment which promise the least possible amount of change , and the largest

      f jaetical amountof popular frenzy that is compatible with their own safety and the safety of their order . Lord John Russell and the Whigs would much prefer accepting office upon the chances of a horse race , if . those chances were equally favourable , to accepting it even upon the conditions imposed by the free trade party . And yet the noble lord has not the honesty to confess that he , as the "Whig leader , and Lord Morpeth as a faithful follower of the loaves and fishes , have been forced into their present humiliating position by the electoral power said to be acquired by the League , through the fabrication of free trade voters , especially in that district , to represent which once more is the darling object of Lord Morpeth .

      True he tells us— " I less man cucr anticipate anyprolalle renewal of a political connection between tuj" and a « Tunhe says— livritc Has without concert or consultatio n with any one else . " Now , if the noble lord Iiad not made those two unnecessary statements , we eight have inferred the conclusions to which he seeks to lead us ; but the very assertion of them proves that Lord Morpeth was just then thinking of " arenewal of that political connection /' and that he was acting ia concert , and even in consultation , with Lord Jons RrssEii .

      There are few men who do not recollect the exfcssive promises of the Reformers . There are few idu > do not recollect the treacherous manner in vtuicb . their every p ledge has been broken—their every promise violated . There are also few who do not sow approve the policy of placing professing Liberals in opposition to a Tory Government , in preference to placing them in power with a strong Tory opposition ever ready to eo-operate in deeds of oppression , and even to contend for a full share of the responsibility consequent upon failure or public disapproval . The Whigs sow rest their claim to office

      upo n the foolish pretext that the Tories thwarted their measures while in opposition , and carried thorn when in power , wholly forgetting that they only experimentalised upon those measures when they were weak , and upon the eve of departure , and that they , as a party , resisted them when they were strong enough to carry them . This fact I give you as another instance of the lagging policy of all political parties . And , as they will achieve office upon the slightest possible pledges , so , after having made the most extensive promises for its acquisition , will thev fritter them away to the smallest possible

      amount of performance . I have now furnished you with an easy and familiar gaide by which you may unerringly estimate your share in any triumph consequent upon this new coalition . Indeed , that portion of the Whig press which gave its earliest support to the principles of free trade , openly and undisguiscdly informs us that the only cuekioe object of the coalition is to achieve its purpose with the slightest possible disturbance of existing socia . asd pouncAij abraxgemexis—m other Arords , that the leaders of the new-born Liberal partv , now afraid to call themselves Whigs , will use von with just that amount of moderation that you

      will tolerate , and that may be necessary for the accomplishment of their own purpose . The question , then , is , how far you are once more prep ared tobs used ; first , as whips in the hands of others , and then to be whipped by them as soon as your moderation shall have tested your subserviency and their power . As the great national party , we fought the League and the Whigs single-han ded and unitedly . We beat them ; tiie one into silence , the other out of existence , and we waited p atiently for that time , when a " cneral eleciio . ! waald develope to the world the improvement that the national mind had undergone since welast metthefoenponthehustin gs . If another

      strmrglc is cunn ' ngly urged npon us before we are prepared to meet it ( and that is a ywit object of the coalition ) , we shall not be prepared to develope our progress . The liaste with which contested elections come upon us , at a time when we are least prepared for the struggle , has been the principal cause of the postponement of our principles . Can you , my friends , anticipate a greater national calamity than the restoration of our old prosecutors and deadliest

      enemies to power ? Have not our songs , our jokes , onr mottoes , and our resolutions , one and all , gone to Maunemoratc " tee fall or WmccEnv , " and are we now to turn l-esurrectionists , and raise the dead from their tombs ? Are we to forget coercion , starvation , aad the dungeon ? Are we to forget the sabre , the ballet , and the law ? Are we to forget the promises they made , the hopes they held out , and the manner in which ihey fulfilled and realised them ?

      Alreadv has their press and their champion tauntinglv invited you and me to the renewed struggle . The " Clironiclc sneering ly asks where is Chartism . and Cobden says no poiaioe max will now venture into the manufacturing districts . To the ChromcUl answer , that Chartism is stronger than ever ; and to Cobden I reply , the Potatoe mah is ready to meet you . Ttc Pttatoe man will be at Manchester , in the Carpenters'Ball , at half-past six , on Sunday evening northern bees

      next in the midst of 5 , 000 of the , and he invites you , Cobden , and your party of no rciAioE mes , of starvation men , to meet him there , where vour strength lies . The Potatoe man dares you to caH a pnblic meeting out of doors upon Sunday or holiday , in any populous district of Lancashire or Yorkshire . The Potatoe man will meet you at Bolton onMonday evening next , at Manehesterto iuesday evening next , at Wigan on Thursday evening next , and in Ashton on Friday evening next . Here , then ,

      are the centres of industry for you . Here is a repe tition of my old challenge to you , and from the resuit of those meetings the Maming Chronicle shall have a fuller and more comp lete response than that yet received by "locomotives and extraordinary expresses . Mv friends , there never was a single period in this country ' s history more promising ormore threatening than the present . If you are true to yourselves , every promise will be realised ; if you are false to your order , the threat will M upon you with horrid severity . Ton must make no difference between the simple expedient of opening the ports and the repeal of the Corn Laws . Ion must look upon either as the achievement of power by a party who , if

      uncontrolled , would use vou . worse than beasts of burthen . Ion must not be tickled by the fascinating argument of cheaper bread , but you must take into calculation , ihstl the reduced means to procureit ; and secondly , the increased power of xocs masters to withhold it ^ together . You must bear in mind that while Cobden and the League have been drawing pictures of national prosperftv , of cheap food , and Mgn wages , that , at the same time , there was a tax of seven millions annually raised off your industry to support surplus paupers , whose number , in the hey-day of prosperity , Sir James Graham estimated at one in ten ot the population . Bear these tilings in mind , andthen ask yourselves what the amount of surp lus labour would be if panic , apprehension , expediency , or . m-tssity fjirew a e \ Qn „ f the land of Eng-

      land out of cultivation , and threw its disinherited slaves into your market ? This is a subject upon which you must be thoroughly instructed , and to that end I will remind you , leaving expediency and principle out of the question , of what appreltension or panic may of themselves effect . When Sir Robert Peel , by Ms tariff , ad mitted live stock and cured provisions into this country at a mere nominal duty , without waiting for the legitimate result of the measure the panic stricken holders of stock glutted the market , and thus created a panic surplus while there was actually a real deficiency of the commodity in the country . Again , we have now witnessed the anomaly of a frightful scarcity of potatoes , simultaneously with great waste and glutted markets , all arising from panic or apprehension , and I use those two figures to

      illustrate for you what , without reference to the exj / cdiency or the principlc , the inevitable result of a repeal of the Cera Laws must be . The result must be such chaos and confusion , for at least two or three years , as would completely paralyse agricultural industry . And during that chaos and confusion you , who will be least protected , would be the greatest sufferers , and this is the secret of my desiring that you should possess such an amount o f power as would render you liable to no more than your share in any calamity that nmy occur in Hie outset , as well as your full share in any prosperity Hiat may result from the change . You must bear in mind that the worst calamity could only impose the negative evil of living upon their ready money—upon your masters , while upon you it would entail the positive infliction of living without money .

      I have now for the one thousandth time put you in possession of my views upon this " great fact . " I am still ready to persevere in the struggle of ri ght against might , and I am anxious to discover whether you arc prepared to do your part in those times that will try men ' s souls . Ever your faithful friend , and uncompromising servant ,

      The O'Connell Tribute. To Tiie Lovers Of...

      THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE . TO TIIE LOVERS OF LIBERTY ALL OYER THE GLOBE . It is impossible to give even an idea of the brutality and tyranny which are put in practice at the doors of the Catholic churches and chapels , on the Sundays upon which the O'Connell tribute , as it is called , is collected . There are thousands of Catholics who do not go to mass at all upon tribute Sunday ; first , because they have a conscientious scruple against paying money at the chapel doors for the purposes—the profligate purposes—to which the money is applied ; and , secondly , because they do not like to encounter the sneers and scoffs of the ruffians who infest the dqora as collectors , bullies , spies , and informers .

      When a man or woman is shamed or coerced into paying a pound , or five pounds , as the case may be , the collectors cry out in a sort of chorus , " God bless you ; you were always a patriot and a good Catholic . " On the other hand , if they do not pay , they are assailed with the most opprobrious epithets—'' Enemies to their country , bad Catholics , presuming to go- to mass with a rankling hatred of the Liberator of their country in their hearts . " From the peiiod of the collection of the first O'Connell tribute in May , 1839 , ( upon which occasion I subscribed £ 10 to it ) up to the year 1837 , 1 contributed my annuahnite , with the full conviction in my mind that Mr . O'ConneH was justly and honestly entitled to an ample tribute from his country . But

      I did not till then learn , or ever hear of , the purposes to which the money was to be applied ; and felt often offended at being told that I was a dupe ; that I was collecting money for a banker , a brewer , and an **** , which the following placard will more fully explain . This placard was enclosed to me by the " penny post , " together with the subjoined ^ pithy correspondence . Had it not come by post , I might have never seen it . I take this opportunity of thanking Mr . Thomas Arkins , the City sword bearer , and learned clerk of the corn table , for having transmitted the precious document to me . Let every true Chartist and pious Christian pin it near their beds , that they may see it the last thing when lying down at night , and the first when rising up in the morning : —

      " Show this infamous document to the liberator . " « To Thomas Arkins , Esq . . " " No , I wonjt , you miscreant . " " To Patrick O'Higgins , Esq . "

      COLLECT THE O'CONNEL TRIBUTE ! At the doors of the Catholic chupels make panders of the priests , and receptacles of their churches for the wages of prostitution ! 2 O'Conuell ' s adutterousprogeny must he supported , they cannot live on rotten potatoes . Holy fathers ! help to pamper the Mansfields , the M'Keevers , the Courtneys , the O'Keefei :, the O'Briens , the Armstrongs , and their greedy mothers , while virtuous mothers and honest children starre J How this resembles the Apostles !

      For the life of me I cannot discover why , or for what reason , Mr . Arkins could send the foregoing placard , and the anonymous note which accompanied it , to me . The placard , however , contains some of the reasons which have influenced me , and thousands of other Eoman Catholics , against contributing to this unholy fund . And these reasons appear to have been filchedfror a a pamphlet which emanated from the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , and is sold by Cleave . No . 1 . Shoe-lane .

      I have not subscribed to the tribute since 1837 . In the month of August of that year , Mr . O'Connell presented himself to the citizens of Dublin as the Whig Government candidate . He , a pledged Repealer , sworn , as far as words and vows to heaven could go , to oppose any administration but one that would make the Repeal of the Union a Cabinet measure , coming before the Repealers of Dublin as the candidate of a Government solemnly pledged to a civil war , with all its horrors , in preference to a Repeal of the Union—I refused to vote for him unless he would renew the Repeal pledge , give it to me in writing , and support the Repeal candidates at that general election . Instead of complying with this reasonable and consistent request , he put out a placard , signed "Daniel O'Connell , " and printed by Richard Grace , of Capel-street , stating , that " any elector who would demand a Repeal pledge from any candidate at the present general election , was an enemy to his country , and in the pay of the Tories ; that the pledge should be the Q , ueen and the Melbourne administration . " I refused to vote for the Whig candidate the last Dublin election ; and from that time to the present I have been the victim of the bitterest and most unrelenting persecution . Repeal was abandoned . Repealers became a sort of mongrel politicians under the name of Whig Radicals , and ultimately the worst and lowest sort of Whigs . O'Connell lost , but he got in return £ l , 000 a-year for his son-in-law , Mr . Fitzaimon , now in the pay of the Tories . For his son-in-law , Chas . O'Connell , ex-Repeal member for Kerry , £ 900 a-year . For Mr . French , another son-in-law , £ 900 . For his son , Mr . Morgan O'Connell , ex-Repeal member for Meath , and the best of the lot , £ iS 00 a-year , paid now by the Tories . For six of his nephews £ S 00 a-year each in the police or detective force , paid also by the Tories , and . £ 28 , 000 a-year for himself from his duped , deluded , starving , half-naked , but confiding countrymen . When I saw all those thing ? , when I saw how my poor ceuutrymen were sold , how could I vote for the salesmaster , the pledge-breaker , the violator of the Repeal vows repeatedly sent up in mock solemnity to heaven ' s tribunal ? How could I pay tribute when once I discovered the infamous purposes to which it was annlied ? ......

      For refusing to go with the tide of madness and folly I am the " victim of persecution ; calumniated , slandered , vilified , pointed at as a bad Catholic , the test of Catholicism being slavery to O Connell . Well after all , I am a Catholic , a Roman Catholic , and what is more , never had a Frotestant relation , even in the remotest degree of kindred , though my name is to be found in the annals of my country even before the Christian era , and a thousand years before the name of O'Connell was known in the land . And although I would sacrifice my life sooner than give up one iota of that faith which I believe to be true , yet it is well known that I do not feel enmity against any man on account of his religion . It is due to my own character to make this public declaration , as my unscrupulous assailants represent me at one and the same time as a bigot and no Catholic . But they ston at nothing to acccomplish their object . It mi ght be ' supposed that a man living in a country which boasts of free institutions , would be permitted to enter a house dedicated to religious worship without mole station ; but no , the case is otherwise . He cannot as he should do , enter upon that which every ! Christian considers a most important religious duty , calmly and serenely . The doors are surrounded , a

      clamour is kept up , he must submit , or be pointed at , scoffed , and hooted . The fast is , that the O'Connell tribute , and the Repeal delusion ( for delusion it is as far as O'Connell i < concerned ) have evoked a more spurious race ot unprincipled rascals than any one could have imagined were contained in all Ireland . . . ; On every tribute Sunday , from 1 S 87 to the present one , the 16 th of November , 1845 , 1 braved the storm at the chapel door , but did not hear mass with that awful , quiet solemnity which I do upon other occasions . On the present occasion something came over my mind for which I cannot account satisfactorily even to myself . I did not go to mass on tribute Sunday . It was the first time I ever absented myself from that saered duty . I did not like to encounter the scoffs .

      sneers , and brutal observations with which I had been annually assailed for the last eight years . Tlie day was gloomy , wet , and stormy , still something or other impelled me to go out and walk in the direction of the Dublin and Drogbeda railway . The ten o ' clock train being ready to start , I took a seat for Malahide , got a boat to put me across to the long-range of high sand-banks at the opposite side of the estuary , a wild sequestered spot , the banks stretching along the seacoast a distance of between two and three miles . The estuary lies west of the banks , and extends about four miles into the country , and across which the Drogheda Railway runs at a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the sand-banks , The islands of Lambay-ahd Ireland ' s Eye stand out in ' the sea about four miles from these Sand-banks , the

      one south-east , the other north-east . Upon the top of one of these banks , facing the open sea , between the two little islands , I kneit down , took off my hat , raised my hands towards heaven , blessed myself "in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Ghost , " and thence , on the top of the sand-bank , I went to mass on the tribute Sunday , the 16 th of November , 1845 . I prayed heartily and fervently . It was impossible toavoid feeling a little dejected and melancholy . The idea of being an outcast in my native land crossed my mind—an outcast , forsaken * by mankind , left , as it were , to die alone and unheeded—to be buried in the sand . Having finished the " prayers at mass , " I then prayed to God to relieve my country from tlie odious tyranny by which she is oppressed ; from her

      present degraded and . prostrate , position ; from tlie openly-avowed and soul-degrading system of espionage to which she is a victim , and to boast of which , hollow-hearted , money-grubbing , professing patriots , are not ashamed , but , on the contrary , lay peculiar claim . Accidentally casting my eyes upon my two faithful dogs , Duck and Glunthu , their anxious looks indicated sympathy . Poor faithlul creatures ! they would not forsake me , nor turn round with base ingratitude . Those feelings which are well-known to give relief to a mind harassed and surcharged with contending emotions , came to my aid , and were soon succeeded by a calm & ess—a firmness , which have , I may say , assured me that my prayers on the sandbank were , in a measure , acceptable to the great Author of my being .

      France, Anniversary Of The Polish Revolu...

      FRANCE , Anniversary of the Polish Revolution . —Saturday being the 15 th anniversary of the Polish revolution , about 1 , 000 members of that nation assembled at the Church of St . Roch to celebrate the occasions The Vigie de VQuest announces' that tranquillity has been perfectly restored at Dinan and the neighbourhood . The Journal des Debuts , of Monday , , in a long article , takes a view of the Oregon question , from which it may be inferred that the French Government is indisposed to accept the office of arbitrator between the British Government and that of the United States of America , if offered .

      ITALY . The Tyrant Nicholas . —A letter from Palermo , dated the 14 th ult ., says : — " The Emperor Nicholas is still at the Villa Olivazza , living in absolute privacy , and wishing to be looked on only as General Romanoff . His Majesty has not received the foreign diplomatic corps , and has refused all the honours and-fetes which have been offered him . Prince Albert , oi Prussia , and five or six other persons , are alone admitted to his table . The evenings pass quietly over , without any very animated amusements . The Emperor yesterday invited the King to a breakfast on board the Kamschatka steamer . The Emperor arrived there first with the Grand Duchess Olga , to receive his royal guest . The King , accompanied b . v

      the Countess d Aquila , proceeued there m the royal barge , The Emperor , in a cuirassier s uniform , stood waiting for the King at the top of the accommodation ladder . 'When the King stepped on the deck , the Emperor embraced him . The Kamschatka is to proceed in a few days to Genoa , to bring to Olivazza the Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin , the sister of the Emperor , who is to remain there during the whole of the stay of the imperial family . The day of the Emperor ' s departure is notyet positively known , but it is supposed that it will be the 24 th instant . After a stay of four days at Naples , he will proceed to Russia , by Rome , Florence , Milan , Vienna , and Warsaw . The Empress has caused to be distributed , during her stay at Olivazza , 7 , 000 francs a-month to the poor of Palermo . "

      SPAIN . Letters from Barcelona of the 23 rd ult ., state that the drawing of the conscription at Figneiras having been attended with some disturbances , the Captain-General had repaired thither from Girona , at the head of a column of troops . Martial law had been suspended at Barcelona during the elections , which were considered likely to terminate to the advantage of the Opposition .

      POLAND . Posex , Nov . 18 . —To-day again several persons of consequence have been arrested . Besides this , other arrests have taken place , so that the number of our inhabitants , who are now lodged in our prison , is nearly forty ; we say nothing of thepersons arrested elsewhere , who are daily brought in . To-day a detachment of infantry , consisting of two officers and ; eighty privates , arrived from Genesen , to reinforce a garrison , especially to strengthen the several ports . The citadel is now closed against everybody at ten o ' clock at night .

      The Cologne Gazette quotes a letter from Posen of the 19 th instant , from which it would appear that the numerons arrests which have taken place originate in a secret attempt to restore Poland to its original nationality , and that the clergy are deeply involved in that attempt . Three Catholic priests had been sent from Kalisch to Warsaw . At Ostrowo the troops had been supplied with extra cartridges , and the military posts doubled . On the evening of the above date the courier had the greatest difficulty in making his way through the Polish peasants who had assembled in the streets . The citadel had been closed , and it was said that the garrison would shortly be changed .

      THE RIVER PLATE . LtVEarooi ., Tuesday . —Letters from Buenos Ayres to the 21 st of September , per Maivarctha , arrived at Hamburgh , announce that the blockade of the city had been determined upon by the allied Powers .

      ALGERIA . The Paris papers of Tuesday are filled with despatches received by the Government from the Governor-General of Algeria . Marshall Bugeaud ' s despatch is dated from ths bivouack on the Riou , between Guelleb-ell-Oued andKreueg-el-lvetta , the Otli of November , and gives an account of his march in the mountains of the Matmatas , in search of the absconding tribes , and his endeavours to punish the mountaineers , who had taken part in the revolt . His progress appears to have been much impeded by natural obstacles , and in several skirmishes which took place the Arabs offered a vigorous resistance . The French were , however , victorious in all these affairs , and they succeeded in taking a few prisoners

      and a quantity of cattle . It appears by a report cf Lieutenant-Colonel Repond , dated Orleansvillc , the 16 , that in a series of affairs with the troops of Bou-Maza he had 100 killed and wounded . The hostile Arabs fought desperatel y , and frequently attacked the French . They lost a great number ot men , and also the Khalifat , of Bou-M ; iza , who was foundamong the slain . There is a report of more importance from Colonel St . Arnaud , dated the 22 nd ult ., from Tenez , for he states in it that he hadreceived positive information that Abd-el-Kader was atLohha , near Tiaret , where he had been joined by all the population . The colonel bad been compelled to abandon his operations near Tenez , and return to Orleansville , in order to be prepared for any event that might occur .

      THE POLISH REVOLUTION . On the 29 th of November last , at seven p . m ., the Polish exiles assembled at the Union Tavern , Johnstreet , Oxford-street , to commemorate the fifteen * j anniversaryoftheirlast glorious , though unfortui \ ati revolution—a revolution , in the success of which tin whole of Europe took the liveliest interest , and , whicl was rendered irresistible , even had the Pole ; S aban doned all idea of national independence , ' oy the in tolerable and incredible oppressions of th' Ernpero Nicholas , whose system of government . js the ver , realisation of everything that is abhorre * ^ to £ > n « i lightened and liberal mind .

      FRANCE . GREAT RAILWAY PANIC . The absorbing topic of interest at Paris on Thursday was the . alarming state of tlie stock and sharemarket . At the opening of the Bourse the greatest depression prevailed , the panic was evidently on the increase , and for the first hour everything indiscriminately went down . The National says : —Some respectable houses are said to be embarrassed , and others to be ruined . To the difficulties of Paris are to be added the failures in the principal towns of

      France . Lyons , Marseilles , and Strasbourg are in a calamitous position . Everywhere the fever of gambling has penetrated it has caused the same destruction . The France says : —It is no longer a panic ; it is a complete rout . This great prosperity in expectation , thoae great projects of fortune which turned every head , have vanished , but not without inflicting deep wounds . The credit is strongly affected , and there is no knowing how sm \ when it cai * recover .

The New York Courier and Enquirer thus discourses-on the Oregon questioa : —In respect of Oregon , there is , within the I'M week , more ground for believing that a specific solution will be given to this difficult question . At least , such we have reason to think- is the impression of- the foreign diplomatic corps- a > t Washington , who naturally watcl > with much interest the

      shilling occurrences that serve to indicate what is passing around them . The expression of public opinion , moreover , which has been called loath by the possibility that the conflicting claim to Oregsn might lead to war , has been so decisive as probably to strengthen the influence of those in and around the Administration who have heretofore dissuaded from hostile language or preparations . Upon the whole , therefore we state with some confidence the belief that the present prospects are more favourable than we have hitherto considered them for a peaceful and mutually satisfactory adjustment of the Oregon question . On the other hand , the tone of the Government journal , the Washington Union , remains unchanged . It breathes defiance and war , and claims the whole of the Oregon or none .

      THE TORY .-MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS . EXAMINATION OF CAPTAIN JOHNSTONE . Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock , alter the disposal of the night charges , Captain George Johnstone , tlie the master of the ship Tory , from Hong Kong , who preferred an unfounded charge of mutiny against seventeen of his crew , three weeks ago , and who was subsequently taken into custody himself , was again brought before Mr . Broderip , at the Thames Police Court . He stands charged with the wilful murder of William Rambert , chief mate , William Mars , second mate , and Thomas Reason , able seaman , during the voyage from Hong Kong to London .

      Long before the arrival ol the magistrate , move than 300 persons had collected in the street opposite the court , who were all anxious to obtain admission ; but strict orders had been given to the police not to permit any one to enter the court , except the reporters for the public press , until the prisoner was placed at the bar , at which time the court was filled , but was not over-crowded . Towards the conclusion of the proceedings , which lasted five hours , the court was crowded to excess , and the heat was almost insupportable . The prisoner Johnstone , who lias been in custody a fortnight , and is afflicted with erysipelas of the leg , on which account his examination was postponed last week , was brought from the Westminster Bridewell in the police van . He was in a debilitated condition , and unable to walk without assistance . He was lifted out of the van by two police-constables , and carried into the gaoler ' s room . On being brought into the court , two hours afterwards , lie was accommodated with a seat . He appeared to be very ill , and has become much thinner since his apprehension .

      The first witness called was Julian Cordiviallo , an Italian seaman , who was given into custody at Deal , brought to London in irons , and charged with mutiny , when the captain excepted him from the others , and he was immediately liberated . On being sworn , ho was desired : by Mr . Symonds , the chief clerk , who conducted the examination , to confine himself to the circumstance attending the death of Reason . Alter . t good deal of rambling , he stated that he saw Tom Reason sitting on a sofa in the cabin , and the captain was asking him about a mutiny . Reason was hurt before this , and some physic was administered to him . The witness here began muttering to himself , in broken English , about his determination to tell the truth , and that he would not tell a lie for £ 20 , 000 . With some difficulty it was elicited from

      him that the captain bad cut Reason with a sword , and that was the cause of giving him medicine . That was when the ship was crossing the line . On the last occasion when Reason was wounded he was very prudent and quiet , and the captain asked the boy Jemmy for a bayonet , as the sword would not do . The bayonet was brought to the captain , who immediately hit Reason with it on the chest , but witness could not recollect whether it was the larboard or starboard side . The man soon died . He did not live above a quarter of an ' hour after he received the . vqund with the bayonet . The corpse was hauled on deck . The witness lrere began rambling aeain in a strange manner abovjt his own country , English laws , his poverty , and other matters , and the magistrate directed him to strand down .

      William . Dunn , the cook , was then called and sworn . He is one of the men originally charged by the prisoner vith mutiny , and brought from Deal to London , in irons . He said he could not recollect dates . ana then deposed as follows : —I was in the cabi - fl when Reason was called down , about half-past tw elve o ' clock one day , and saw the captain , with a b ayonet in his hand , standing over Reason . I heard a noise , as if the captain was sticking the bayonet into Reason ' s head , and he was calling out for mercy , to which the captain said he would show him none at all . The boy Glover then came into the pantry where I was kept , and told me the captain had killed Reason . I was sent up for some water , and when I came down into the cabin again Reason was lying on the captain ' s sofa . The captain had his hand on Reason ' s left breast , and he told me Reason was dead . The captain took his hand off his breast , and I saw two wounds which had been made with a bayonet , from which the blood was oozing . I told I the captain he _ had better get gome cotton to be put |

      oh the wounds . The body of Reason was then taken out and laid at the pantry door , and five men were called to take bim upon deck . The captain then ordere . 'l the body to be laid out on the forecastle . Next morning the body was sewed up in some canvas , and Spen . ce , ( one of the apprentices ) read tlie funeral service , and the body was committed to the deep . Franklin Tucker , one of the seamen who was brought from Deal in irons , said he knew no more about the death of Reason , except that lie saw his corpse brought u , oon deck . Hesaw him go intothecabin alive about thret quartcrs of an hour previous . He was then in a dreadful state , and bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head . The , deceased was in the cabin in the early part of the evening ; witness did not then s ^ e any wounds or other injuries on his person . The de ceased told him tlie captain had cut bim .

      Divud Johnson , another of the unfortunate seamen who were put in irons at L " > eal , and falsely charged with mutiny , deposed , that . on the evening Reason went down into tlie cabin ke came to me , in the forecastle , with a deep cut acrioss his brow . I heard Julian Cordiviallo , tha Italian ,- . con . © forward and call Reason by name to wait upow the captain in the cabin . Reason immediately left me aud went down . When I saw him again he was

      erroneously described . as the grandson of the celebrated Lord Avonmore , in one morning paper , the Times , was next called . He is a very intelligent youth ; and on being ordered to state all he knew relating to the death of Mars , the second mate , said I was in the cabin when the captain sent for Mars , and I saw him cut at him . I now allude to the last day—the day ho died . He was down several days before that . I saw a large piece cut off his head b y the captain . I cannot tell ho ^ many days that was before he died .

      Mr . Broderip : About how many ?—recollect yourself . Witness : I think it was the day before—the night time . I saw no more of Mara the day following that on which the piece was cut off his head . The last day he was called into the cabin the captain cut at him a good deal with a cutlass , or sword . At that time Mars was all over blood . I could scarcely see his face for blood . Mr . Symonds : Was he at liberty , or in any way confined ?

      \ Yitnes 9 : He had been in h'ons before that . I cannot exactly say whether he had the handcuffs on when he last came into the cabin , but his hands were in such a position before his body that I have no doubt they were confined . Mars could not stand at the time , and one of the boyr and Julian tied his hands up to a beam , while the captain cut at him ; I gave Julian a wink to take the man down out of that . Mars was so weak at that time he could not hold his head up . He was taken down , and lay gasping on tlie cabin-floor for a short time , until ( lie

      captain ordered him to be taken upon deck . The caytain looked at him and said , " Look at the murderer , don't he look like one ? " I can't say who took him on deck , but I hoard the captain say , " Squeeze him , squeeze him , or I will squeeze you !" He was taken on deck , and shortly afterwards some one came down into the cabin and said Mars was dead . The captain told me to go upon deck , and ascertain if he was dead . I went upon deck , and saw him lying dead , abreast of the main-hatch , on the larboard side ,

      James Glover , a boy , who said he acted as steward , was next sworn . He was examined last time as to the death of Reason . He was now directed to confine himself to the death of Mars . He said that Maw was repeatedly called into the eabin , and cut by the prisoner with a aword , and that he died the same day . The deceased was cut about the head . When Mars was called into the cabin on one occasion he had no handcuffs on . On other occasions-when he was called into the cabin- and cut he bad irons on his hands , and could not have made any resistance if he had been so disposed . Julian Cordiviallo was recalled , and appeared to have cooled dawn a little . Sic was directed to-state what he knew about the death of Mars . He said the eaptain repeatedly called Mars " Brute , brute , brute , " and cut him with a sword . The last time he saw Mars was ai the time the captain was geStiug his dinner .

      Mr , Broderip : Where was he cut ?—Witness-He was cut any way , any way wherever you could name , on de breast , de face , over his head , and- all Iiis fingers were nearly cut off ( sensation ) . I respcofcL'd my officer just as much when he was in irons as if he was on duty . The eaptain ordered us not to call hiui any more Mr . Mars , but call him Mars , He told niu and the boy not to touch him with our hands , but to prick him up with the bayonet , and make him to stand up . Then he says , " Are you and Harry not able to make him stand up ? " and I said . " No sare . " " Well , then , " says lie , " make him fast with a rope

      somewhere or other . " There was a clcet run into the deck , and there was a bag of seizin ( old rope ) underneath the table—so he told us to make fast to this elect . So we make fast to both Mars'hands , which were in irons together . We did it by the captain ' s orders , " or else , " said he , " you and the boy , little Harry , shall be punished together , " and we were afraid of him , While he was fastened up to the elect the captain struck at him with a sword , as if he was a porpoise . The witness here described the sword as a spad , and Mr . Symonds being at a loss to understand him ,

      Mr . Broderip said : He is thinking In Italian , and endeavouring to explain himself in English . The Italian proceeded , and was told to use the English word for the cutlass . The captain while at dinner kept throwing the sword at Mars , and sometimes it stuck in owe place and sometimes > n another ; and when it fell lie told little Harry to pick it up and throw it at him again , for he meant fo stick him all over . ( Great aenaation . ) Well , then , after he had done so , and aU the blood eame from his body , the captain say , " Take that brute away—take him away —squeeze him . " The captain ordered him to bi ) taken on deck , and the body was verv hoavv . The

      captain said , " What for don't you arm yourselves ? Go and call all hands to squeeze that brute—thai rascal , or else I'll squeeze somebody else . " The captain sent me up to tell all hands to squeeze him , bub not for me to put my arm on him . I took Mars along with the rest to the main hatch , with the !> ayonot in my hand , but did not touch him . Tlie captain senfc for me back into the cabin . He asked me if that function was done—if they had squeezed the man , and I say , " I don't know , sir . " At the time the b ^ y came upon deck with a pistol in his hand . Mr . Humphreys : Which boy does lie mean ?

      Witness : Barry Yelverton , sir ; he came and said he was dead . _ The captain said a single twine- is enough for him ; don't use so much twine . lie meant the canvas and twine to sew it up to Imiy him . Before Mars was squeezed up he askeus for some water , and I brought him some . That is-alll know , sir . William Dunn , the cook , was recalled to stntswhat he knew relating to the death of Mars , and hv confirmed all the horrible details as related by . the Italian and other witnesses , but he gave a more distinct account as to what occurred when Mars was

      first called into the cabin after the cB . ptain came aboard from Fayal , about the 25 th of September .. The captain , on his return to the vessel , then offtlia island , sent for Mara and spoke to-him , Aad . immediately struck him with the cutlass-, aiu ' l ce £ his-faco , and he then told him to jump out of the-stern windows of the cabin . Mars said he could nab , and was sent out of the cabin . In a few iriin « tos he was again sent for , and again cut , but < nn ihis- occasion with more severity . He was then , seat forward to the forecastle . Mr . Broderip ; Where Wi \ -s hf ; cat ? Nqw ,. be correct .

      Witness : The firat gash was across his whiskers , on the right side of his face—a dreadful cat . The captain came upon deck with bis , cutlass in his hand after Mars went into the & r ecstatic , aad shortly afterwards he went below into the eabin and went to bed . Next morning the eapfca in sent for Mass again . In the afternoon I saw Mars , in the cabin in handcuffs . The captain sent for him several times that evening , and cut him every-tima he caincdown . The captain sent for him on the following afternoon , and he askcd to be released form his Jiandeufis . The eaptain ordered the carpenter to take off the handcuffs , and then took him into his ov / n cabin ( an inner one ia the principal cabin ) . 1 heaif . a great noise in the captain ' s cabin , and then heard Mara breathe short and thick as if he was strangling , . Then all was quiet . In a

      minute 1 heard a noiy . e again , and heard the captain tell Mars to jump cut of the cabin window , Mars said he could not , and that ho wished to be tried by the laws of his country . The captain said he should not , but should have board-of-ship law . Mara was then brought out of the captain ' s cabin into the other . He was then bleeding , his eyes glared , and he could scarcel y speak . A few moans was all that could be heard , to issue from him . He was put in irons , and sent on deck and laid on the main hatch . In . about three-quarters of an hour he was agajn br . ought down , cut with the sword , and again s ' ent on deck with the blood streaming from him . He was sent for to the cabin several times that evening , and cut up by the eaptain . His finders weve cut to pieces , the joints were hanging down , I a \ id the hone was sticking out of his little fincer . In the middle watch that night I was sent " by the

      captain to tell tlie carpenter lo put the best low | r anchor slincKle on his head . ' His neck was bared t ? let the shackle go over it , and the carpenter putuP on him . Mars complained that his neck was too sore to bear it ( tlie shackle , it ought to be stated , is of GOlbs . weight , made of iron ) . In the morning 1 saw the captain continually heaving n sword at Mars while he was at dinner . 1 wen t down into the cabin , and Mars was groaning and bleeding . I s « w the captain repeatedly heave tliesword at the dying man . The sword frequently rattled against the cabin door , against which Mars was standing . The cap tain said

      he would cut him up in inches . The cabin door was opened , and I saw Mars with his head on one side dying . The captain ordered the hands to get a rope and haul him on deck and squeeze him , and if they did not he would have their lives . Mars was taken to the main hatchway , and a strand was put round his body , but whether the men hove upon it I cannot say . He asked for a drink of water and he was given one , and a worm came up out of his throat . I went down into the cabin again , and shortly afterwards a man came into the cabin and told the eaptain he was dead . The body was sewed up in canvas , and taken to the gangway . 1 read the prayers over him , and he was buried .

      Fiwiklm lucker was a again sworn and examined relating' to the death of Mars , and he confirmed the last witness in all the material points of his evidence . Tucker was called into the cabin by the captain after Mors was wounded , and the captain exclaimed . " Look at tht * brute , see what he has brought upon himself , don't touch him with your hands , get a rope ' s end and haul him upon deck . " The captain « Jsr > ordered Mars ti / be squeezed , and said if he was not well squeezed the ? witness should be . Tucker also stated , in addition , that the savage order of the

      captain was obeyed , and that Julian Cordiviallo waa sent upon deck to see if it was done effectually . A rope was made taut round tlie body of the Unfortunate creature , and 'Tucker and James Black'len hove upon it as hard as Shcy could . While the mate was undergoing this hbrrufele tortai-e , the witness pat his hand on his face ami - found he was dead .- lis went below and reported tLe tact tothc captain , whe asked if the mate had been ivell squeezed . Witness replied that lie had , and tbxr captain expressed his satisfaction , and ordered the' irons to be removed from the body , and then burxadi

      Mr , ; Sy monc ' s : Did youexamisehis bodj- ?^ W'itness 3 I did . - * Mr . Symonds : How many wsrands ?—Witness : I can't say iiow many wounds there were upon Jiis-body r for it was cut to pieces . There y tsbs hardly an-ihek of it without a wound . David Johnson was again called , m & said that hewas called into tlie cabin with Reason and Marsy and lie was so cut up that he could uenrcely crawftohis berth . Mr , Broderip : You were cut . Who- by?—Witness ; Bv Cantain Johnstons , sir . ness :: By Captain Johnstonesir .

      , Mr . Broderip : Where were you wounded?—Witness : About the head and hands , sir . I a ] so'rcceivcdk several wounds on the shoulder . Nuxi ! morning I found Mars in irons , and the captain sailed- for a strand and a heaver , and made a kind of bow-string of it , and hove it taut round my neck till I was nearly choked , and lie called a man named French * and toldhim to put me in irons , and said 1 was implicated with Mara . Mai's was then sitting on as * empty spirit cask . French , by the direction of the captain ,, took a sword , bent at the point , to the grindstone / to make the point straight and sharp . Trench brought it down again , and said that was the sword with-the straight point . The captain then took theswordand cut Mai-s ever the head with it , and the blood gushed forth very fiercely indeed . I was then ordered upon deck to my duty . The witness then save a

      description ot the terrible scenes which took place in t-ho cabin and upon deck , similar- to the evidence of the other witnesses , and said the body of Mais was shocking to behold . The head and breast of Mars were in such a state that it was impossible to lay a finuer upon the body without putting it upon si wound . Th & witness then proceeded to describe tho intimidation practised bj the o .-iptnin toward * the crew to compel them to torture poor Mars . Julian Ctmlivi . Uin told the men if they did not squeeze Mars and heave upon the strand round his body , the captain would kill all hands . French was armed with a sword and a brace of pistols , and Sinclair the carpenter , and the apprentices- were also armed , to overawe the crew , and compel them to put in execution tlie savage orders of the captain . When Mars-was being squeezed he looked very ghastly , and the breath waa not quite out of his body , but lie died soon aftestwards .

      Stephen Gone , an able seaman , with-wounds on hia person , who ; heJ been grievoindy maimed by the prisoner . His -evidtiice was short but expressive . He said I was-in tin cabin before the death of Mars . I saw . the captain make one cut at his head with a sword , and he took off a piece that size-,, your honour . ( The witness placed one hand on the oilier , denoting that the prisoner cut a piece off the head- of Mars half the size of his hand . Mr . Broderip :- Did you see- the prisoner de that , Cone ?^ 4 did , sir ; he-cut a pieae ri » lifc off his head , and he then stabbed him on- different parts of his

      bodv-Thomas kkiir , a seaman ,, whose case-ho * excited so much commiseration , next appeared in iiie witness box . _ This poor fellow , it will be recollected , was mutilated in a-shocking manner by the j-risoner , and pistols loaded only with powder were diuahnrged in his face by the captain ' s orders "; . His face-was much disfigured by gunpowder ,, and his forehead and cheeks were covered with- adhesive plasters . The much injuredman was asked only a few questions , and stated that he-was cut by the captain , ami thttt hesaw him wound Mars while he was in irons . Mr . Broderip then asked Inspector 12 vans if there were any nie * c witnesses ?—Inspector h ' v .-ms said there were several more in attendance , besides the wounded man on board the hospital ship . _ Mr . Broderip said he bad brim sittinsr for nearly eight houiv jiwMJ i that he- eecrid ' not go iufflScr int « the case that night . He should remand tiie prisoner usiil to-morrow

      The prisoner , who leant his head upon the edge of tfeo dock during the greaterpart of the examination , and who , when lie did look up , seemed to betray much indifference to the appalling recitals made by She witnesses ,, was then led away from the dock bytwo policemen-in attendance .
