Then S cca Albert , who made such a nice little % , eech the other day , all about Labour and Capi tal , and in praise of modellodging-houses f 0 / the noor , and so forth—he might , for t little , trv and content himself with his * as Field-Marshal ( 12 / . a day ) , his See little p ickings as Colonel of the Hussars , fcn zer of "Windsor . Park , Constable of the gsstle and ? the other snug little offices -iiich in the aggregate yield him an

      jr-come somewhere about £ 20 , 000 or /• jo . OOO a year . The £ 30 , 000 allowed him 1 \< the nation , besides these p ickings , might * i , jS be all made available for the rescue of gjgge worse than orp hans , from destruction . Ber Majesty would , no doubt , in like manner , b ? prepared to make a generous sacrifice " to promote the well-being and prosperity of her peop le , " and the other upper classes of society , --bishops especially—following the example thus set them by Royalty , we should speedily fcS ve the means of going to work on a sorae- ^ - . yfcst larger scale than proposed by Lord

      Ashley . Ia ' what way we should go to work , supposing we had tlie money , is another question . We think that the plan of sending them to the i . nti-podes , is not the best that could be devised . . The " Wholesale Transportation" advocates have taken occasion of Lord rYshley ' s exposure to come out very strong in favour of their scheme , which we commented upon a vreek or two since . We can only say , we like no better now than we did then , and for tie reasons then adduced , think that we Lad better try to make the best of " the Land we Lire in , " before we think of going off in shoals to make others the counterpart of this .

      Government gave his lordship its *« sympathy , " plenty of fine words , and Mr Hawes most magnificently added , that it was intended to app ly £ 10 , 000 this year , in aid of emigration to Australia , and a small portion of this £ 10 , 000 would be devoted to the ragged school population . Lord Ashley thereupon withdrew his motion , and so ended another of those miserable make-believe exhibitions of interest and sympathy in the real condition of ' . the ueople , by which our Legislature is in Uhe habit of attempting to satisfy their own con--scieaces , and delude the country .

If you desire to free yourselves from your preseat bondage , and benefit the human race , van must bestir yourselves , and make every sacrifice to build up the sacred temple of liberty and fatherland ; or by your neglect and apathy bequeath to your offspring an increase of degradation and wrone . Ton cannot suppose that those who reval

      in the spoils ef labour , and live by the very misery and wretchedness they have created , will be instrumental in promoting the improvement of the people . They may talk of liberty while thejare forging your fetters , may profess sympathy while they are adding insult te oppression , and may talk , sf instructing you while they are devising the most efficient means for moulding yoa into passive slaves ; but they contemptuously spam every proposal for bettering the condition of an ill-used people . Therefore be speedy and show yourselves worthy of being wives , mothers , daughters , and friends of Charfst men , and not the * foolish virgins without oil for their lamps ; ' but by timely and mature consideration , devise plans for fully and snbstaHtiall } to bear upon this our motto , « Live with our men , die by them , or for them .

      'Arrest Of Chartist Leaders.' ' (From Th...

      ' ARREST OF CHARTIST LEADERS . ' ' ( From the Times of Wednesday , June 7 . ) l } t Iri 8 h Confederat ion will no longer have any ngnt to complain that the government distribute the SSL ° I'y T om ^ an ytWng Uke undue part ahty . If Mr John Mitchbl has been raised to the honours of the calendar in Dublin , in London Messrs Ernest Jones and Fussed , with some others , are likel y enough to be soon canonised by nu side . These persons were , we are informed , arrested yesterday on a charge of sedition , and will be brought to trial with all the speed the law permits . v » e neither anticipate trouble from reluctant juries ,

      nor any general sympathy throughout the country for the authors of the disturbances which have for the last few days disgraced the streets of London . Vie know enough of an English jury to feel secure that all indignation at their conduct , and all unfavourable impressions received before entering the jury-box , will be banished from the minds of those who have to decide upon their fate . The trials wiii be open , and in the face of the country . The prisoners will be dealt with as ordinary culprits , and their cases will be disposed of with as much indifference as though they had been arraigned for filching pocket-handkerchiefs .

      We were threatened in a few days with a repetition of the Kenningtoa affair . The ' government are to be commended for having taken time by the forelock , and the offenders b y the collar . It is to be hoped they will not halt in so wise a course .

      ( From the Doily News of Thursday . ) _ Jons 8 ia\—me morning paper wbic & of all others is ernraeoDsly supposed to contain correct information— the Timbs—announced to the world yesterday before breakfast that Ernest Jones and another notorieas Chartist had been arrested . Unless it were possible te ba guilty of truth before the facte the Tims was wrong , for at the time that statement was peaned , Jones was at large and wag most likely at that very time holding forth to a numerous audience in the City Hall , Manchester , directing a furious tirade of abnse at the ainiatry , to the effect that if he snd others we » transported it would only be to fetch Mitchei , together with Frost , Williams , and Jones , back in triumph , in order that Lord John'Russell or Lord Palmerston might besentto occupy ' their places . At the time the statement was printed it

      | was false ; for up to about nine o'clock yesterday morning , Jones was quietly indulging in the comforts of a feather bed at one of the first hotels in Manc & este *' . It is now true , however , that he ia in custody . Inspoetor Haynes , a metropolitan efScer of police , arrived in Manchester , daring the night , with a warrant granted at Bow-s ' reet , by Mr Jardine , and obtaining the assistance of Mr Beswick , chief superintendent of tha Manchester police , "yesterday morning , they went to the Mosley ' s Arms Hotel , a few minutes after nine o ' clock , and stroke Mr Jones to take his place in the 9 60 arr . train for London . It was stated that the information on which the warrant waa granted had reference to the seditious language he had uttered at the Betbual-green meeting . He was hurried off without even getting his breakfast .

      ARREST OF MR JONES AT MANCHESTER . { From our own Correspfftsdm . ) 70 THB JDITOB OP THE N 0 HTHXEN STAB . Wsdrkspat 12 p . m —Sir , —Mr Ernest Jones gave us a splendid address last evening . Wednesday ( this morning ) I met Mrs Jones ; I accosted her , and fannd she had missed her hotel . I went with her to the Moseley Arms , and on fhe way she informed me her husband had been ruthlessly torn from her by two London police officers , but added that her busband had done his duty to his country , I was surprised at her calm and dignified manner under bo severe a privation . God bless such noble women , what man can now neglect his daty , when females display snob heroic bravery under such trying circumstances ?

      Having left her at her hotel , I went and informed our friends . A deputation was immediately appointed to wait upon Mrs Jones , to sympathise with her , consisting of James George Clarke , Daniel Donovan , George Archdeacon , and Thomas Whittaker , who accompanied her te the Railway station to see her on her way to London . Great God ! to what a state are we hastening when the right of public meeting is trampled uponliberty of speech refused—petitions treated with

      acorn and derision—starvation , poverty , misery , and general bankruptcy stalking o ' er the land—the masa wringing their hands and uttering imprecations deep and bitter on the government—fathers compelled to see their children die of starvation , or be cruelly sabred by policemen or dragged as-felons from their homes if they dare give Yent to their wrongs ? The safety valves of public opinion aro closed and the boiler must inevitably burst . Yours truly , J . G . Clarke .

      Examination And Committal Of Messrs Erne...

      EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF MESSRS ERNEST JONES , JOHN FUSSELL , ALEXANDER SHARP , AND JOHN WILLIAMS . On Wednesday at Bow-street police court , John Fussell , 2 , Corperation row , Clerkenwell , jeweller , Alexander Sharp , 51 , George-rew . John ' s-row , St Luke ' s , copper-plate printer , and Joseph alias John Williams , 33 , Half Moon-street , Bishopsgate Without , baker , were brought before Mr Henry , on warrants , in which they were charged with having on tbe 26 th of M . av , in a certain open place called

      Clerkenwellgreen , wickedly , maliciously , and seditiously published , uttered , and pronounced certain scandalous , wicked , and seditious words , in the presence of divers persons then snd there assembled , of and concerning our Sovereign Lady the Queen and her government . The warrants were issued on Tuesday last by Mr Jardine , and the prisoners were apprehended at their residences at an early hour the next morning . Another warrant was issued against Ernest Jones , and being apprehended npon it in Manchester , be was brought to the station before the examination of the other prisoners had terminated .

      Mr Hay ward , from the office of Mr Maule , solicitor to the Treasury , conducted the prosecution ; and Mr Davis , solicitor , of Holies-street , Cavendishsquare , attended for the three first-earned prisoners . Shortly after two o ' clock Williams was placed at the bar , and Horace IIamt , an officer of the G division being sworn , stated that on the evening of the 15 th of May , he attended a meeting at Clerkenweli-green , where there were about 1 , 200 persons assembled , consisting of working people , costermongere , and boys ; a man , named Mannder May , being in the chair . The prisoner was in the van with the chairman , which was arranged as a platform , and being called npon , he came forward and moved the following resolution : — ' That this meeting will assist by every means in its power the Irish nation in obtaining their liberty . ' He then said he had been the caose of calling tbe meeting , as he considered the time had now come for the people of both , countries to make a strike for their

      rigBte i that he had been induced to do so , in conseqnence ef reading in the morning papers the determination of the people to assist the Irish patriots in their ' 8 tand | againstthegovernmentto obtain Repealfor the Irish nation . With regard to the Charter , the last moral effort would be made in a few days , by a procession going up to tho Queen with a memorial , which he would join , marching under a black banner , with a death's head and bones , signifying death or liberty , and during the time ha waa frequently cheered . He also said , if a few men wouldnow make a stand , they must be victorious , as the time would shortly arrive , the Irish being determined not to allow Mitchei to bs convicted ; and if they arose , the soldiers would join them and free him from prison , if the verdict of the jnry did not do so , In answer to Mr Davis , witness said he could not write short-hand , but he took notes , and wrote them out as they appeared on the paper he held .

      Mr Davis submitted , that unless the notes were produced , the evidence waa inadmissible , which was overruled by the court . ... The witness proceeded to say , that on the chair being taken , May said that the meeting waste unite with the Irish Confederates on the subject of the government trials in Ireland , that it was the duty of this country to render their assistance . The prisoner said , he did not wish blood to be spilled , but if a man did not figkt fer such a man aaMitohel , he ought to be damned . There were other speakers beside the prisoner , who remained to the end of the meeting . He considered it was such as to cause considerable terror to the neighbourhood , and that i « did so .

      Cross-examined : Ha took the notes on slips of paper with a pencil , and he cwld not form any idea of the number of beys present . His op inion respecting the terror caused was formed froa what he heard from persons standing by . Pw . Moss , 135 G , having proved the apprehension of the prisoner , , Mr Hatwabd said , he had no further enaenc e to offer , but would call witnesses te- prove what tooK place at another meeting . Mr Davis considered there waa no seditious language proved against the pnsoaer , an < 3 wished to . look at the warrant . , Mr Hksrt said , that it was a general warrant S * using seditions language , and there was sufficant proved to send the case before a jury ; but as tho-prK soner waa entitled to put in bail , he would Sfcibe amount when the other charge waa concluded * The prisoner Sharp was then pJaced at ' ehs bar .

      Tbe witness Habdx said , that on fehe 2 fith May be attended another meeting at the same place , w hich lasted until about nine o ' clock at higlit , when about 1 , 000 persons were present , in fr ont of a van as a plat " form . The prisoners ware froth in it , and a man named Rose acted as chairman . He took notes , as on the other occasion , whifib . he destroyed on writing them out . The chairman having called upon Williams to moje a resolntio / j § ne commenced by reading extracts from a New T ork newspaper , stating . that Canada Tf M ready , & r *«« $ &* % lbs leadership of

      Papineau , if Mitchei was convicted , and Sat the WU was to be removed from Montreal , because Jhey shouted for Repeal ; that the Irishmen at New Yoi * bad a meeting , at which they resolved , if the international law would allow them , they would raise a brigade to send to Ireland , and if they were not allowed , at the coming election of President , only to vote for him who would allow them ; and to show their determination they had collected 100 dollars for the purpose . He then called upon the people to organise the different associations , that they were about to hold 3 , 000 meetings in various parts this season , and if they had more membere , they would ommoeethzn that number , by whioh means they would confuse and bother the government . The

      prisoner then read the following resolution — That tQ iieeting pass a vote of censure against the dam-Tu ir ° V ' tTrann , icaI government , for prosecuting John Mitchei , and will assist by every means in its power the Irish people to obtain their liberty , ' whioh was unanimously adopted . The prisoner Sharp seconded the resolution , and said he had been censured for using strong language , but he wonld repeat what he had said , by calling the government a base , bloody , and brntal government ; that the time would soon come for the people to act , for they had marched in Dublin with 15 , 000 Confederates , all of whom were armed , and there was no doubt that John Mitchei would be free . He believed that the meeting caused terror to the inhabitants , and the prisoner remained till the last .

      In cross-examination the witness said he attended the meeting for the purpose of noticing the description and the language uued , receivind orders from his superintendent , to whom he showed hia notes . The apprehension of the prisoners being proved , Sharp said that the notes were very incorrectly taken , and the evidence much exaggerated ; and the other prisoner having said it was all false , they were ordered to enter bail for the misdemeanour , themselves in the sum of , £ 200 , and two in £ 100 each , to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court . The prisoner Fussell was then placed at the bar .

      Frederick Fowler , a reporter , stated tbat on the 20 th of May he attended a meeting at Clerkenweligreen , where there were 2 , 000 persons ; it consisted mostly of lad ? , desperate looking characters . The prisoner on mounting the van said that the government had succeeded in convicting honest John Mitchei , and they did so by packing the jury and by bad jndges . He told Lord John Russell he had no sympathy with his damnable government . John Mitchei had asked whether the Queen had not fergotten her duty to her eountry . He now asked the same question , and adopted these views . If the Queen neglected to recognise the people , then the peopJe weuld neglect to recognise the Queen . If John Mitchei was sent out of the country , every Irishman should be up and revenge tha injary , or he weuW be n & longer worth the nanw . The government was sot worthy of any honest man ; it was too contemptible to be recognised , and they should use every endeavour to overthrow it , and one safe way was to forget

      their duty to their rulers . Ho then said , * I openly avow I am the advocate of open assassination . What msde the Emperor of Austria fly from bis country ? why , the fear of assassination , and it was by that means our rulers would fly . I have five sons , and 1 do declare that I would disown one that would refuse to assassinate any one who may be instrumental in banishing me from my country far such an offence as John Mitchei was found guilty . ' Witness concluded by saying that he omitted portions of the speeches , which he considered unfit for the public press : The witness went on to say that fViliiams was the leader in the procession through the metropolis , which created such terror as to cause shopkeepers to close their windows . In cross-examination nothing material was elicited . The apprehension of the prisoners being proved , Mr He . vrt ordered Fussell to enter bail , himself in £ 300 , and two sureties in £ 250 each , to answer the charge at the Old Bailey , with twenty-four hours notice .

      Ersest Charles Jones was brought into court in the custody of Sergeant Haines of the detective force , having just arrived from Manchester . The prisoner , who displayed msre assurance than either of the other prisoners , appeared about thirty-five years of aze , of fair complexion , and about the middle stature . He said he was a barrister-at law of the Middle Temple , and member of the Chartist executive , and resided , until lately , at 14 , George-street , Portman-square . He added that be was not at present exactly in any residence , but his father was looking out for one for him . MrHiNRY . —Ilave yoa authorised any professional person to appear for you ? The Prisoner —Oh , no , your worship . I have onlj just arrived from Manchester :

      Mr Hestht . —Perhaps you are aware , ifyouaraa barrister . at-law , that you can compel the witness about to be examined , to read from his shorthand notes , instead of the transcript ? The Prisones . —I am not very well acquainted with the criminal branch of the profession ; but the point is perfectly immaterial . I am quite willing to trust to the gentleman ' s honour as to the accuracy of what he is about to state . Jambs White , of No . 97 , York-road . —I am a shorthand writer . On Sunday evening , the 4 th of June , I attended a meeting in Bishop Bonner ' sfields , between six and seven o'clock . It was an open air meeting . I am not a judge of numbers , but I should think there were fifteen thousand persons there assembled . The speakers addressed the

      meeting from & raised ground or gravel heap . There was no chairman . The prisoner Jones was ene of the speakers . I took notes of all the speeches . The prisoner said , — Mr Chairman and men of tbeTower Hamlets , in the first place , I have to apolegise to you for not having been hero sooner ; but a man cannot be at two p laces at tbe same time . There waa a meeting announced for Jrdngafce-wharf , Paddington , and the police , I understand , meant to forbid that meeting taking place . I was invited to attend it , and therefore did attend it . There were a good many police there , bat they did not yentnre to interfere with the meeting ; and I can tell you this : —hold your meetings ; for , although the government certainly are mad , tbey are not mad enough to pat down public meetings ; and , if they were mad enough to

      do it , I , fer one , hurl defiance in Ibeir teeth , and dare them to disperse this legal and peaceable assembly . I must ask the favour of your indulgence to-day , inasmuch as I start by mail train to-night for Lancashire and Yorkshire ; and , as those places are both in a very excited state , I shall have to use my lungs there a good deal . And , as London is not so excited as thoso parts of the country are , excuse me from addressing you at any great length to-day . All I say is this : —Stand fast by your colours . Do not shrink from the Charter , and the whole Charter Do not listen to the nonsense of tbe half-and-haM men . Do not pay any attention to the Dispatch , and if you see any bodies of police coming near to this meeting , marching on to this meeting , stand your ground , shoulder by shoulder . Do not run . There is

      danger for those who run . mere is safety ter those who keep together . Dare them to strike you , and , my word for it , they dare not strike a blow . If they were to strike a blow , bad as the laws are BOW , still they are sufficiently stringent to punish these men who assault peaceable citizens in tho peaceable exe . cution or performance of their duty . In nine oases out of ten it is your own fault , it is your own cowardice , that invites others to strike a blow . It ia men saying ' We will not do this , and we will not do tbat , because it is forbid . ' Make up yonr mind , —stand by it , — and , whatever eomes . stand to your ground . There cannot be more heada broken than there are on those occasions when men run away . AH I say is , that government are desirous of marring tho performance of your duty ; that duty is organisation . I have not timeWhere

      been among you for some little . are your classes ? Have you made yonr wardmotes ? Have you got your class-leaders ? Have you perfected your organisation ? If not , call public meetings and elect yonr class-leaders . So not let the classes be formed before you havo the class-leaders . Ton will find it much more ea & y to form a class after the class-leader is appointed . For if you form classes , and then afterwards appoint leaders ,, yoa may spend twoor three hours or moreupon the formation of every class , and never come to a fixed determination with regard to it , as one man will live here and another there . Elect the leader , and he knows fcheiaon likely to form the class living in his neighbourhood . There will be no improper assomption of that power , because you all elect the class-leaders at the publie meetings .

      Rest assured if each locality eleet * 100 class-leaders you will soon have 1 , 990 men under the banner . This ia tho way to get up the organisation . And then yon may elect wardmotes—one out of- ten wall be a ward * mote . Commence at the foundation rightly—namely , the classes , and the wards and all the vest will follow ef itself . It ia no use earning among ? ou when there is no organisation , and it is not tho executive-that can get up the organisation .. Show > ua your organisation , and we : will ah aw yon . how t &> get your sights . Depend upoa it we wjU act leave y . sa . Steer clear of al } partial outbreaks and . partial sioting . There has been an oatbreak at Bradford and Manchester . We sent Dr M'Douall , wh * ia now addressing a-glonous meeting at Paddingtoak to tell them to engage in no partial riot—no partial outbreak . That h just what the eaTOrnment wante , Jn a riot of tha . t kind thay

And there is oao thing mose that is wanted , and that is funds . Funds are wanted . The country is beginning to io its duty nobis , and that is a great test of public feeHng . But , mask you , suppose that it was true , as we heard last sight , that fighting had begun in Dublin—that the government had ordered the papers to say nothing of the insurrections Dublin , in order to keep this country in the dark about it ; supposing it should be necessary for us to send a man over to see with his own eyes and hear with his own ears , and thus breathe defiance to the lying press ; suppose that this should be all necessary . and suppose that we have not got the money to send than man over , see what danger the movem ent runs-hew it sta y tethjNHni hack for . a few paltry pounds to

      ratify the bond 0 f onion between the English and the Irish people . Union of sentiment , union of democracy , but separation from a y ? ke that binds the one nation in the thraldom of another . Rest assured , I will be working for yon in Bradford , Halifax , Man-Chester , and other places where turbulence and broils are going on . It will be my aim to bring the West Riding Sheffield and Leeds — up to the mark of Bradford . [ A large portion of the speech was here devoted te answering articles in the Weeklt Dispatch , andaletterofMrCobden , who had charged them with carrying the wages of despotism in their

      pockets , forgetting the £ 70 , 000 he had lately pocketed himself . An attack on the ' milk-sop middle classes ' followed , and an exhortation to tho people to join in a grand demonstration , he would tell them where , on Whit-Monday . ] Only organise ( continued the speaker ) , and yoa will yet see the green flag floating over Downiag-street . Let that be accomplished , and John Mitchei shall be brought back again te his own country , and Sir G . Grey and Lord J . Russell shall be sent out to exchange places with him . ' During the reading of the speech , the prisoner cor . rooted one or two clerical errors of slight importance , which had been made in transcribing .

      Mr Hbkrt . —You have now heard the whole of the speech attributed to ytu by the witness . Do you wish to put any question to him respecting it ? Tho Prisoner . —None whatever . 1 can only compliment that gentleman upon tho accuracy of bis report of my speech . It is a true report of the sentiments I then and there expressed , and of the sentiments I still entertain , believing them to be tbe sentiments of justice and truth . But I wish to ask why I have been arrested . It surely cannot be , tbat I havo been brought all the way from Manchester for delivering this speech , in which I contend there ia nothing illegal—nothing tbat might not be said with the strictest propriety even by Elihu Burritt himself . Surely , the charge against mo is not founded upon any statement in this speech ?

      Mr Hehuy said—As you have requested my opinion upon this speech , I must tell you that I am o ' early of opinion that it ia seditious . The tone aud spirit of it tnroughont are highly calculated te incite an ignorant m » b to illegal acts . I shall have no hesitation in committing you for trial , and leaving a jury to form a judgment upon it ; but at the same time I am willing to hear anything you may wish to say in answer to the charge against jou . The Pbisonbh .- * Ab it is your determination to send the case to a jury Imustbowtoyourdeoision , and shall reserve tbe observations I have to make . I presume I shall be admitted to bail ?

      Mr Hbnry . —It is a bailableoffence . You appear , however , to be a person of education , and superior in that respect and station to the other prisoners . I must , therefore , require from you a larger amount of bail than in their cases . You must find two sureties in £ 250 each , and enter into your own recognizances in the sum of . 2500 ,- end , in the mea & time , yon stand committed to Newgate . The same intimation as to the twenty-four hours ' notice of bail being required was then given , and the prisoner wau removed .

      ARREST OF W . J . VERNON . BOW-STREBT , ( THUBSCAr ) . — WlXUAH JOHN VsR-» os—the fifth wh © has been arrested during the past two days—waa placed at the bar before Mr Henry to-day . The Tbsasust Somcitoh appeared for the prose cution ; Mr Parrt defended the prisoner . The Prisoner having given his name , said he was a lecturer and writer , living at No . 9 , Sosaexstreet . The first witness called was Fredbbick T . Fowlbr , a reporter , who said , on the 20 th of May last , he attended a meeting at Clerkenwell Green : it waa in fhs evening . There were about three thousand persons' present—they were mostly ' riff-raff . ' Mr Parrt . —I object to that impertinent expression , Sir : this man himself may be ' riff-raff , ' fer aught I know . Let tbe witness speak English .

      Examination continued . —They were mostly young men and boys present ; there were s few labouring men , but the great mass of the crowd wore pickpockets , thieves , and low characters . Mr Parry intimated that the witness was stating what he could only guess to be true . Witness . —A man named Williams spoke first . The prisoner was not there when Williams fiuat spoke . When Williams had done speaking , he said , ' Now , my lads , fall into marching order . ' The assembly fell into marching order , ibar abreast . The prisoner took the arm of two young rsen , who appeared to be his friends , and walked with them . He was someti & eain one part of the procession and sometimes in another . The procession went down Aylesburystreet t & St John-stieet-road . Witness went Up Wilderness-row and met the procession at the corner of Old-street Witness did not then see whether the prisoner was

      amongst them or not . Frsm Old-street the procession went on to Finsbury-spare , where witness again saw the prisoner . He was then marching round'witb the rest of the procession . The procession oontinuod to march round for half an hour or three quarters . The prisoner waa amongst them all the time . The procession proceeded along Beech-atreet , Chiswellsteeet , Barbican , and Long . lane , into SmithMd . Witness does not know the man > who gave the principal words of command . The prisoner marched with them out of Finsbury-squaro , and witness was not aure he saw htm again , but lie thought he saw him afterwards in Gzford < 8 treet , Before the procession started from Clerkenwell , some- one said , ' three curses for the government . ' The prisoner , who was standing by witness , turned round'to him , and said , 'I don't like these things . They're of no use . Curses don't break bones . '

      MrHsTwooD asked witness what ; be thought was the effect in the neighbourhood of tbe meeting and marching . Mr Parry objected to the question . What the witness thought waa nothing ; what h « saw was all tbat was to the purpose . Witness said , he sxw evidences of alarm . People ran out and shut up their shops in a great hurry as the procession came along . Tbe witness was cresa-examiaod by Mr Parbt : — After the expression , Hhre 6 ctt « s 6 B for the govern * meat . ' had been used / witness first Bpo ' ie to the

      prisoner before he made the remark above-mentioned . Witness understood his meaning to be that he disapproved Of 8 UCQ Strong expressions . He said nothing else on the Bubjeet , however . Mr Parri said , the expression ' curaeslreakno bones / he believed was a quotation from ' Venice Examined by Mr HERaT—Tlie prooesBion marched along the middle of the road . When it reached Dean-street , about ten o ' clock at night , it must have consisted of about 50 , 000 or 60 ; 000 persona . Witness left them soon afterwards ,

      Wesiam Godfrey , aooastable , 147 Csaid hea p , prehended tbe prisoner about half-past II o ' clock last night in Sussex-street , Tottenham . court-road , by virtue of the warrant now produced . This closed tbe case for the prosecution . Mr FiSRT said that he would trespass- on the attention of the court very briefly ; but it appeared to him that a more flimsy case could scarcely be made out on so serious a charge . Mr Hb * wi—> Of taking part in an unlawful assemW / . Mr FiBBar—Yes : but unless there is & wima facie

      case , not only that the prisoner was present at the unlawful meeting , but that he sanctioned it . no case could ba made out to send the prisoner for trial . Many peieons , such as the-witness , and others , were present , on that day , and the witness had siid that he understood the prisone & to disapprove of the expressions used . Under these circumstances he ( . Mr Parry ) : contended that no prima , faeie case was made out ; and he was sure the magistrate would treat this aa an ordinary case , and not . be in any way aSectedby the fact tbat the government prteecutedinit . .. .. . ...

The speech was received with considerable applause . No ono else spoke afterwards . The meeting broke up at about ten o ' clock .

      Examination And Committal Of Messrs Erne...

      MrPARBr .-Was not Mr > ernon delivering , a lecture on ' Man as an indiviu ual and social being ?' Wjtwibs . —1 don't know . I beard a few ? ° rt $ about man being an original and social being . ( A , laugh . ) Mr PiRsr ( to the clerk ) . —Take that down if yoa please . ( To tbe witness ]—With respect to what yoa heard abeut Mitchei , yon can't tell me how that waa interwoven with the lecture on Man , an original and social being . Witness . —No , I merely took what was of an inflammatory character . I did not mind the rest . The lecture hud began when I entered the room . Cross examination proceeded with—The phrasa used was not A few hours will decide whether Mitchei will be transported or acquitted , ' but as witness gave it before . This closed the case .

      Mr Parrt said , no doubt Mr Henry would attach sufficient importance to the evidence of the witness to commit the prisoner upon this charge also . But he hoped light bail would be taken , considering tho prisoner ' s station in life . It was then put in evidence tbat tbe prisoner lived in asecond floor lodging in Sussex-street , Tottenham Ceurt-road . Mr Henbt said tha bail he should require would be two sureties of £ 100 each , and the prisoner ' s personal security for JS 2 QQ , on each of the e & arges . Mr Parbt said that , to a person in the prisoner ' s station in Hie , this amounted to a virtual refusal of bail , and he prayed the magistrate to reconsider the question . Mr Henry said he had considered it , and thia seemrd to him to be the proper bail to be required ; the prisoner , however , could appeal to a judge , if ha thought the bail excessive .

      Tho witnesses were then bound over to prosecute , and the prisoner was committed for trial .

      Bow-tiRKKT—Feargua O'Connor , Etq ., M . P ., " attended this ( Saturday ) morning before Mr Henry , and offered himself as bail for Mr E . Jones : he Stated to the magistrate that he had attended at tho court yesterday ; and had gone thonce to the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury ; and on his return to the Court , had found tbat the magistrate had just left . After some further conversation , Mr Henrt nb « Peryed that be presumed Mr O'Connor , who was a Member of tbe House of Commons , must be aware that Members of tbat hease were not eligible aa bail . Mr O'Coskor was quite unaware of that fact . Mr Henri repeated that such was the case , and quoted from the Act to that effect , from which it appeared that Members of the house were excluded from becoming bail , on account of their non-liability to arrest .

      Mr O'Connor , having intimated that at two o ' olccfc he would attend with the gentlemen , of whose names notice had been given to Mr Manle , thanked tbe magistrate , and left the court .

      FURTHER ARRESTS . Francis Looney , tbe secretary of the ' Davis Club , was placed at the bar before Mr Henry , on a warrant charging him with delivering a seditious speech on 4 he 5 th of Jane , at the Chartist Assembly Rooms , ia Dean-street , Soho . There was , however , another charge against him—that of delivering a seditious Speech on the same day at tbe Chartist Hall , Webber-street , BlackfriarsToad , which charge was first entered inter . Mr Hay ward , , solicitor to the Treasury , attended for the prosecution . After a very lengthened examination , Mr Henry committed the prisoner for trial , ordering him to Gnd bail in two sureties of £ 100 each , and enter into his own recognisances for £ 200 ,

      The second charge on which tbe prisoner had beea tsfcen , was then entered into . It was for delivering a seditious speech , at the Chartist Assembly and Reading Rooms in Dean-street , Soho , when Mr Henry said he stould commit the prisoner for trial , and would require bail in two sureties of £ 100 ' each , and his owrr recognisances of £ 200 oa this case also . —The prisoner was then removed . REJECTION OF ME E . JONES ' S BAIL . The three persons , of whoso names notice bad been given yesterday aa bail for Mr Ernest Jones , attended Before Mr Henry immediately on the conclusion of the above case .

      The firet ,, Mr John Sewell was accepted ; but the others wereobjected to j and Mir O'Connor being MM above mentioned ) ineligible on account of being a Member of Parliament , Mr Jones still remains * ia custody .
