      ^ Monday. —After The Defeat Of Mr. ; Wal...

      g ^ tewasfcg n ve . ; --jzl # E : So mRnrted to as a means of divertgflBsffi ^ HtasiW She apostacy of the well-paid agitators of the PI lS « snAT . -We scarcely remember : a day more ^ . ~ 2 « rfr \ em and was it not for the fun now and SpSed bj % jSglers at Conciliation Hall , it would be altogether a blank . -Lobe PATRionsu . -At the last gathering of the " not wallopers" Mr . Smith O'Brien made his appearance , after a long absence , and in the course of speech in directing the attention of his audience

      Hs tolhe present prospects of Ireland , arising from the distracted state of Engl and , an unfortunate wight , a prophet of Mr . O'Connells own , had the temerity to hollo out , " Franceand America ; " whereupon Mr . O'ConneU enquired " what was that ? what were { Lot words r ( energetically . ) I DESIRE THAT THAT MAX MAY BE PUT OUT . ( Cries of "turn him out , " during which the action was suited to the word with great effect . ) Surely , Dan must have forgotten the territories of the O'Regans , the s m all speckga t hering in the west , " his anticipations of sympathy from America , and his appeal to France 3 H owever , tbe poor pupil who bad so well learnt his lesson has discovered the value of Irish education , and tie fact that ie must now unlearn all that he

      had imbibed of the Royal Loyal Conciliation Repeal College . Smith O'Brien most vociferously calls upon the Government to call Parliament together , before Christmas , for the purpose of considering the famine question ; but the honourable gentleman appears to lave forgotten that the Irish " Rapparees" abandoned their duties while Peel was devising means for the CORRUPTION OF THE IRISH PRIESTHOOD , and the subjugation of the Irish People . The Young Liberator and the Protestant Champion had a " set too" about the mixed education scheme , but ihe old "botfleholder" stept in as umpire and declared , that though the combatants disagreed they didn't differ at all . The rant of the begging patriots was of the usual character , and appeal to everybody's

      pockets and sympathy but their own . We give the following few extracts from the speeches of the several speakers — Mr . W . S . O'Bkies , in the course of a lengthened address , alluded , in terms of deep despondency , to the failure of the potatoe crop , but congratulated the meeting on the spirit already evinced throughout the country to refuse " charity" from England , and called upon them , as they valued their national character , to meet the present crisis wira energy and besoluhon . What a joke for a Repeal member to a ppeal , and a set of trafficking shopkeepers to applaud the appeal , to a starving people to famish with energy and resolution . Farther on , and just after the unfo rt una t e Fr en c h American had bee n o u s t ed , Mr . O'Brien continues : —

      " Although E ng l a n d see m ed pros p erous , he believed appearances were delusive , and there never was , he believed , a time in which England was in greater danger—not so much from internal decay as from her political position . At that moment she had not one friend among the nations of the earth . ( Hurrah , bravo , bravo , and other congratulatory exclama tions . ) Opposite her shores was her ancient rivals , ffhcse joy it would be te encounter her informs . ( Loud cheers . ) That rival possessed a magnificent jnilitaiy establishment , 400 , 000 men , backed by the 2 , 000 , 000 bayonets of her national militia . ( Loud cheers . ) Were Louis Philippe to die to-morroiv an aspiring Prince could not better establish himself than hy aoing to war with Enalcaid . ( Great applause . )

      The maritime supremacy of England was gone . That fact he had witnessed at the sailing of the experimental squadron . " Is not that what Dan would term 'ludicrous in the extreme ? ' His own poor devil of a pupil was nneerimoniously and ' energetically' ejected , while the head usher was applauded io the echo for repeating and enlarging ^ u pon the same lesson . " However we may despise the ravings of tricksters , we beg to tell Mr . Smith O'Brien , as we told his master before , what would prevent the French from taking possession of every town upon the eoast—the English Chartists would either bury them where they landed , or send them back with their tails between their legs , to tell the " trogs" whatkind of animal the " bulls" were , and what sort of horns they had .

      Ms . J . O'Consexl , in a strong and impressive manner , defended iis conduct respecting the Colleges' Bill from the imagined censure of the last sneaker . Mr . D . OCoNSEii hose io hand in Monet , and proproceeded , — "Hunger , it was said , would break Ihrough a stone wall , but he said hunger should have rahokaluy as ns guide , and entreated the people to beware of any ads which could aggravate their misery . " We should like to see Dan , after two meals of starch a day , to discover how far his rationality would guide him . He said that Dr . Kirwan , who had recently accepted the presidency of the Galway College , was his bosom friend , and that his heart was torn to pieces when he read it ; and . the liberator slyly aided these expressive words— "he HOPED THAT II WOULD N O T COME A CROSS IHE HINDS

      OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEIR CLERGY COULD BETRAY them . " Mnsha , Dan , your sow ] , but it will , as sure as yon live ; and it will come across their minds too , thai yon were juggling them with buffoonery while Peel was doing the trick . The Repbebenxation op Cork The Liberator concluded by moving a resolution , pledging the association to support Mr . A . M'Carthy at the next election for GorkY Ah ! Liberator , the very name of Joseph Hayes struck terror into your heart . The mext Business was the reading of a letter from a Mr . P . Goney , who , standing at his own ball door , saw the withering effects of the Union on the inhabitants of the castle of the Barnacles , and sent in a subscription accordingly , which , it may be

      inferred , will be applied to restore the withered man ^ sion aforesaid . Will it , though ? By gonnees , Mr . Goney , don't yon wish you may get it out of the devil ' s exchequer ? Didn't you know that the Irish patriots only build castles in the air ? The Rent for the week was then declared to be £ 300 17 s . 6 d ., and the meeting adjourned . And thus ended another performance of the national farce . Cotjbt CiHcrjiAB . —The Royal Family took their nsual airing in the Park to-day . Prince Albert , with Col . Anson for bis groom , rode on horse-back , and the Queen was driven in an open poney-carriage by one of the young Cobourgs . The Royal Infants followed their mammy in a close carriage , having Buffered severely from gripes brought en by potatoe starch .

      Another of ihe Young Cobotjbgs attempted to Tide one of Prince Albert ' s horses , but the well-fed steed being too mettlesome for his jockey , deposited Mm in the -branch of a tree ; but he was ultimately released by bis numerous relatives . In compliment to the Prince of Wales , the brush of the fox killed on Mondav was presented to bim , as a birthday present . The young Cobourgs bave mutinied , and swear that they will at once return to their own country , as " sour kraut" is better than " rotten potatoes . " The Stock Exchange- —There ' s the devil to pay

      amongst the banditti . The last sheaf of the stack nnder which the vermin invariably rally has been lifted by the Bank of England , and the rats are to be seen scampering in all directions . All sellers and ao buyers ; a nd t h u s , as we predicted , Peel ' s iron roof upon the glass house is about to tumble in . Everybodythought , butonrselves , thatPeers banking schemes was to make money so plenty , that the streets would be paved with penny loaves , and the houses thatched with pancakes . However , the effect of bis tinkering has been that the Bank screw is likely to leave ns all without a screw .

      Theatricals . — -The routing of the railway rats has been a sad source of disaster to the several p lace s of amusement ; the poor devils that paid for p leas u re out of . the people ' s pockets have been obliged to seek cheaper refuge . Sadler ' s Wells and Asley's alone seem to possess attraction . Sadler's Wells , fro m t he inimitable representation of Lear , by W . Phelps , decidedly the most finished tragedian of the day , and Astley ' s , from the indefatigable catering and spirited management of Mr . Batty . Thursday . — This las been another blank day for the poor devils of the press ; the railway gloom , and the increasing difficulties in the way of discounting " promises to pay" three months after convenience , makes the capitalists look very blue .

      Ireland . — There is little or no news from Ireland beyond the increasing bad accounts of the potatoe crops , except the further scampering of tie railway rati . The crack lines that were up to high premiums are all down to frightful discount ; while there bas been discovered apalpable juggle in the "top-sawyer , " the London and Drogheda . Trade . —All the accounts agree in giving a melancholy picture of our present and future prospects . Manufacturers are fearful of taking orders at the low prices offered by speculators ; and the producers , as usual , are obliged to fold their arms in idleness , while the traffickers are bargaining about their wages .

      WORSHIP-STREET . MOM > AT . —EXTKAOKMNAKT Chakge of Adhenistebixg Poison . —William Beale , a young man of respectable appearance , described as a prolessional singer , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with . having forcibly administered a certain -white powder , supposed to be poison , to a little girl eleven years of age , named Jane Eastman , the daughter of an undertaker in Somerset-place , East-road , Hoxton . The case excited an unusual degree of interest , and _ t h e cour t was d ense l y crowded during . the investigation . The complainant , a pretty and intelligent child , who gave her evidence with remarkable clearness and fluency , stated , that whilepassing down Peerless-row , City-road , at a quarter past eight o ' clock on Friday evening , she was accosted by the prisoner , of whom she had some slight previous knowledge , who told her that he was going to see his brother , and if she would accompany him a short distance , he would give

      her a mince-pie . After walking a few yards in his com . pany , she told him that having been sent on a message by ; her mother , she could not proceed any further , upon which the prisoner threw his arm round her neck , and partly ' dragged and . partly carried her nearly half the length of the street . She struggled violently to extricate herself , ' and the prisoner at length set her down , but at the same : moment seized her by the throat , and compressed it so forcibly with his fingers as to compel her to open her mouth , when he instantly pulled out a small packet con . ; taming some white powder , which he forced into her mouth , and she involuntarily swallowed the greater por- tion of it , on seeing which the . prisoner hastily fled , and was almost immediately out of sight .. She screamed loudly for assistance during tbe whole time , and her cries at length attracted the attention of a lady who was passing , and who assisted her to the residence of her parents . The witness added , that the moment she had swallowed the

      powder , she felt a burning sensation m her throat and stomach , from which she endured the most excruciating pain , and had ever since been confined at home , un d er the care of a surgeon . On cross-examination by Mr . Heritage , who attended for the prisoner , the witness positively persisted in her identification of the latter as the person who assailed her in the manner described , and stated that she had seen him twice before ; the last occasion having been about fivs months since , when he called with his wife to look at some apartments to be let in the house ol her parents . The mother of the child confirmed the latter part of her evidence , and Sir . Arthur Hayes , a surgeon ' s assistant , stated that the child had evidentl y swa ll owe d poison . —Mr . Young , surgeon , had since analysed a portion of the contents of the stomach , and detected the existence of an acrid poison , but that he was anxious to have more time allowed to enable him to complete the analysis . Mr . Heritage addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoner , who had instructed him in the most positive manner to deny that there were the slightest

      grounds for attributing to him such an infamous and diabolical act as that he was accused of . After strongly urging the entire absence of any possible motive for the commission of such an offence , Mr , Heritage said that he had several witnesses in attendance , all of whom were prepared to speak in the highest terms of his client ' s humanity and inoffensive disposition , and he also believed some of them could establish the fact that the prisoner was at a considerable distance from the spot where the atrocity was perpetrated . Mr . Thomas Jliddleton , the landlord of a beer-shop in the East-road , was then called , and stated that tbe prisoner came to his house , shortly before seven o ' clock on the evening in question , and remained seated in front of the bar until nearly eleven , during the whole of which time he only once absented himself , and then only for about the space of three minutes . He had known the prisoner for many years , and believed him to be utterly incapable of such atrocity as that alleged against him . Another witness , named Orchard , was called to speak to the same facts , but his evidence

      went to a later hour than the time when the transaction took place . Mr . Broughton decided on committing the prisoner for trial , but ordered him to be brought up again on that day week , to enable the police to complete their investigation . Mr . Heritage earnestly requested that his client might be admitted to bail , and the magistrate ultimately acceded to the application , but said thathe should require two substantial householders in £ 1 ( 10 each , and 24 hours ' notice , to ascertain their sufficiency . The prisoner , who exhibited great agitation , and loudly and repeatedly protested his innocence , was th en remove d t o the cell * .

Doyle , stating , that he should feel much pleasure in attending next Sunday to deliver alecture , but bad previously promised our Somers Town friends for that evening ; but he would be happy to visit the Whitechapel district on Sunday the 23 rd . Mr Doyle ' s letter was received with applause . Mr . Shaw also reported the result of an interview he had had with Mr . Cooper , the Chartist Poet , when that gentleman stated , that from bis numerous engagements , it was impossible for him to attend at present , but signified his intention of visiting each locality throughout the metropolis directly after Christmas , when he hoped Mr . O'Connor would accompany him and be the

      means of breathing anew and more vigorous spirit into the apathetic ranks of Chartism . A vote of thanks to Mr . Cooper was proposed by Mr . Cannon , seconded by Mr . Doxey , and carried . It was also stated , that Mr . C . would commence his intended visit with this locality , which was very mueh approved of by all present , who agreed to make the necessary arrangements for receiving Messrs . Cooper and O'Connor . This locality bids fair to very shortly resume its former prosperous position , in fact , a new life appears to animate the council , who , to a man , are determined to individnally and collectively do their utmost . Alecture will be delivered in the Saloon on Sunday evening , when the chair will be taken , at eight o ' clock precisely , by Mr . Frazer . Discussion is invited , and all former members and friends are requested to attend . Our members are resolved to contribute one

      DEWSBURY . CHARTIST CO-OPERATIVE LAND SOCIETY . At a meeting held of the members of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society of the West Riding of Yorkshire , on S un d ay l ast , the following resolutions were passed : — 1 st . * ' That , in the opinion of this meeting , it is highly essential to the success of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , that the rules , when revised and amended by a Conference of delegates , should be enrolled under the Benefit and Building Society ' s Acts , inasmuch as such course will alone give security to tho members , and limit the responsibility of all concerned to the extent of the society ' s operations . " 2 nd . " That iu the opinion of this meeting the mode of selecting occupants , as proposed by Mr . Macnamara , in lieu of the ballot ( which does not appear to he illegal ) , is one which would not be safe to adopt , because likely to prove unsat isfactory in its working . "

      3 rd . " That in the opinion of this meeting the selection of locality of operations , and the selection of occupiers , eughttobemade in the following manner : —The directors shall , in their purchases and drafting of occupiers , be guided , as far as practicable , by the principle of providing allotments for the members so as to render it unnecessary for a family to remove far from ' home . ' To this end they shall classify the members residing in particular localities ; and before they commence operations they shall place as many slips of paper as there are

      localities in a suitable vessel , each slip having the name of a locality written on it , and all being folded alike . Then an indifferent person shall be appointed to draw three papers out of the lot , and in one of the localities so drawn shall the first purchase be made , if practicable , preference being given to the one first drawn . Out of the members residing in , or contiguous to , such locality , who have paid up their full subscription , shall the occu p iers of this particular plot of Land be selected ; and the same rule shall be observed to regulate the locality of all subsequent purchases and allocations . " the allotments

      4 th , " The selection of occupants for shall be from amongst those who may have paid up thenshares in the following manner —There shall be a meeting of the members in the locality where a purchase has been made and allotments provided , held on notice from the Board of Directors , and at such meeting the names of all such members shall be put on similar slips of paper folded alike , and placed in a suitable vessel , from whence there shall be drawn , by an indifferent person , as many names as there are allotments to occupy . Tke names so drawn shall be considered as selected to occupy , in the order in which they were drawn , the first drawn name being entitled to Lot No . 1 , tlie second to No . 2 , and so on . If the needful capital shall have bee n raised prior to a sufficient number of shares being paid up , the ballot

      ¦ hall take place ' amongst those who have paid the ' next highest sums , " ¦; ' - 5 th . "That this meeting recommend to the Conference of delegates the following 8 * fcmen j ^ o ™ whom three may be chosen , vrith their consent , to act as trustees , in case the rules are enrolled , and in whose names the funds and other property , of the society maybe invested in trust for the members at large , vlz . ' : ~ T . S . Buncombe , Esq ., M . P . '• W . S . Crawford , Esq ., M . P . John Fielden , Biq ; ., M . P . Richard Oaatler , Esq . General Jphnson , M . P . Captain Wood ( of Sandall ) . Charles Waterton , Esq ., ( Walton Hall ) . " With respect to the Board of Directors , it was-resolved that the following alterations , as to the number jind constitution of the Board , should be suggested : — ., " " ;

      Gih . BoardofDirectors . — "The government of this society shall be vested in a Board of Directors , consisting of a president , vice-president , and eleven other members , one third of whom shall retire annually . The retiring members , in the first two years , shall be balloted for by the Board ; and , afterwards , directors shall retire according to seniority ; retring directors to be eligible for reelection . " 7 th . Secretary . — "A secretary shall be appointed by the Board of Directors , and shall hold his office at their pleasure . His duty shall be to keep a correct account of the monetary and other business of the society , and publish a quarterly balance-sheet of the same . He shall also conduct the correspondence of the society . "

      8 th . Security from Officers . — " The treasurer and secretary , and all agents that may be appointed by the Board of Directors , shall , respectively , give such security for the proper discharge of their duties , and the monies they may be entrusted with , as Shall be . required from them by the directors . " It was also resolved that the following ' gentlemen should be named as likely to serve the interests of the society , if placed on the management . Of course they are only suggested as a list from whence the proposed Board of thirteen may be selected , The parties were as under : — ¦

      Mr . Wuham Lonsdale , J Rev . J . Scbolefield , or Vof Manchester . Dr . Hulley , J . 3 Ir . James Moir , \ qj Geor g e Ro s s , J — M'Pherson , Aberdeen . T . S . Brooke , Dewsbury . John Linton , Selby . . Richard Oastler , Leeds . Wi ll iam Broo k e , do . Joseph Thornton Paddock , near Huddersfield Mr . David Weatherhead . And the present Board of Directors .

      0 th . " That in the opinion of this meeting none of the Directors of the Chartist Co-operative Laud Society ought to receive salary : but when travelling on the society ' s business all resaonable expenses ought to be paid ; and it is further the opinion of this meeting , that no portion of the fund of the society ought to be appropriated t « the payment of lecturers , but kept sacred to the purposes for which they were subscribed . " [ Thus far the reportreached us up t J Thursday morning . Our friends should bear in mind that Mr . Macnamara , in his opinion , merely preferred the principle of priority to that of the ballot , lest the disappointment of a blank for a prize should cool the energy and disappoint the sanguine hopes of the unsuccessful . As to the question of enrolment , it appears to be all but unanimously agreed

      upon , principally owing to the fact stated by Mr . Macuamara , that the non-enrolment would entail considerable additional expenses upon the society . As to th « third resolution , our definition of what we considered "home , " recently published in the N ort h ern S tar , and defined as the place nearest to tbe affections , the relations , and former residence of the occupant , must be fresh in the memory of every man who read it . We do not believe that the directors or managers of the association bad any other earthly thought beyond that of adding the sweets of home to the delight of independence . The same post that brought us an account of the Dewsbury meeting also brought us letters from Dewsbury and Huddersfield , expressing great alarm lest the Socialists should acquire the control of our Land movement ; and

      also stating that many cunning devices were actively , at work to insure this object , and also to destroy the character of tlie Executive . Of these , and tbe quarters from which they are said to emanate , of course we take not the slightest notice , further than to assure our timid friends that the Socialists , for whom we have ever entertained the highest respect , have not the slightest chance of getting the control over the said movement . We were perfectly prepared to meet every description of opposition in the outset , and we were perfectly aware that as the plum ripened many mouths would water for it . It is not possible that the directors can be present in all quarter ' s were underhand attacks are made upon them ; and'in this instance , as in all others , they must rely wholly , solely , entirely , and exclusively , upon the good sense of

      the working classes thomselves , who , t h oug h s l ow to think , are ever sure to think right in the end . We cannot conclude without returning our most sincere thanks to the industrious correspondent who , 'up to Thursday , has transmitted to us several columns upon this meeting , aud promises mere for Friday ' s post . These are favours that we arc not in the habit of receiving gratuitously , and for which , if it was possible , we would spare the req uired space , if for no other purpose than to meet the side blows at the directors , who have worked with an energy almost unparalleled , and but for whose exertions the society might have dragged on a miserable existence , while every speech sent to us , and every , resolution that we publish , aims a heavy blow at the working men who have got up and cherished this association , and who have

      received the poor pittance of ten shillings a week , which will be more than covered by the profit upon the rules and cards they have sold , Tbe spirit at the bottom of these charges will find the sober judgment of the working classes a sufficient corrective for his malignity . We may ask , in passing , how it happens that we have received'no remittance from the Huddersfield secretary since the 18 th of October ? and conclude by expressing a fervent anticipation that all will come to the approaching Conference with minds prepared to give practical effect to the only legitimate plan ever suggested for the redemption of the working classes , while it is a melancholy fact that , one way or the other , the devil ever attempts to thrust his hoof or horn into plans which he cannot subdue to his own especial purpose . —En . N . S . ]

      STOCKPORT . Lecture . — Mr . Donnovan , of Manchester , has been lecturing here to a numerous and attentive audience , on " The Land . " A vote of thanks were given him for his able lecture . LE 1 TH . . : ¦ : Pdblic Lectobe . —On Monday eveningthe Temperance Hall was crowdad to hear a lecture from Mr , M'Grath on the subject of the " Land . * The lecturer commenced hy a clear development of the productive powers of the . soil , incontestably demonstrating its . capability to sustain a population more than quadruple the present number . He argued powerfully in favour of the great principle of nationalising the Land and contended that its monopoly by a little knot of selfish and arrogant creatures was the prolific source of the serfdom , poverty , vice , and crime which are flooding the country . The thanks of the meeting were given with unanimous accord to Mr . M'Grath for his highly instructive lecture .

      EDINBURGH . The Land . — On Tues d ay even i ng a most attent i v e an d intelligent audience assembled in the Hall of Science , to hear a lecture on the " Land , and the way to get it , " from Mr . M'Grath , of the Provisional Directory of the Land Society . Mr . Cummins having been unanimously elected to the chair , dwelt pointedly and eloquently on the greatness and importance of the subject which the meeting were assembled to investigate . Having passed , an eulogium on the lecturer for his services in the vineyard of democracy , he introduced him to the meeting . Ml ' . M'Grath proceeded for upwards of an hour and a half to elucidate the subject , the meeting frequently expressing its concurrence of opinion by bursts of applause . At the conclusion of the lecture , the chairman said , t h at ' any

      one present wishing to give expression to viewsfavourable or adverse to those of the lecturer , should now have an attentiveheariug . Mr . Sinclair , of Newcastle-upon-Tyne , presented himself , an d enum e rate d severa l attempts to give effect to the Co-operative principle , all ofwhich had failed , and then jumped to the conclusion , that the Land project must fail . Also , he next directed his artillery against Mr . O'Connor ; but the chairman immediately , to the entire satisfaction of the meeting , called , him to order . Mr . M'Grath showed the inconclusiveness of Mr . Sinclair ' s logic in reference to the Land Society , and intimated , that ' ere the lapse ef many weeks , Mr . O'Connor ' s presence in Edinburgh would give Mr . S . an opportunity

      of meeting him face to fao & an opportunity which Mr . S ., like many more of Mr . O'Connor ' s magnanimous detractors , will very conveniently allow topass . The objection , on the ground of first principles being violated , was proved to be pointless . On Wednesday evening a second lecture was delivered by Mr .

      Windsor Election. Military; Riot—Infamou...

      WINDSOR ELECTION . MILITARY ; RIOT—INFAMOUS OUTRAGE . The election for . the return of a member for this borough , took place . on Saturday . Owing to the . corruption and intimidation exercised on the part of the ministerial candidate , Mr . Walter had retired , but on Saturday morning , an address appeared from Mr . R . Kettle , Barrister , announcing his determination to take the place of Mr , Walter ; in contradistinction , however , to the principles of Mr . Walter , ' the new candidate , the advocate of free institutions for all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , the supporter of all useful reforms , the upholder of civil and religious liberty , and the determined enemy of the existing Corn-laws . But his chief claim to support he rested upon his determination to rescue the borough from

      the oppressive domination with which it was threatened , and to establish its independence for the future on a secure and permanent foundation . On Monday thenomination took place , Colonel Reid , the ministerial candidate made just such a speech as mighthave been expected from a time-serving Peelite , Mr . Kettle followed , and commenced his address by ridiculing the speech of his opponent . He had called himself a Conservative , but had not explained whnt he meant by that term , except that a Conservative was a supporter of our glorious constitution . If this glorious constitution sanctioned the canvassing of independent electors and Castle subordinates , it was an idol of brass with feet of clay . His opponent had told them that he was a Protestant ; so also was he ( Mr . Kettle ); but his Protestantism consisted in holding that every man had a right to take his Bible in his hand , and exercise the right of private judgment ; and that no counsel of this , and no edict

      of that , should interfere between a man s conscience and his God . His gallant opponent had told them that he approved of the spirit ofthe New Poor-law . Now , the spirit of that law , acting in combination with other laws , was this—it would lead a man to be independent by holding the terror of the workhouse over him ( loud cheers ) . In the present state of our co mm ercial arrangemen t s , this was like setting labourers to run a race , and tying up the leg of one of them . He then alluded to theinflueHce that had been used on the other side in procuring votes ; he was able to name the influence which he meant—it was connected with the kitchen ofthe Castle , and the electors had been prevented from exercising thenjust rights in the election of a representative . In the course of his address , Mr . Kettle was repeatedly interuptedbya number of young aristocratic blackguards from Eton , who , to the number of eighty or one hundred , got into the Town-hall .

      On the show of hands being taken , the Mayor decided that the majority was in favour of Colonel Reid , and that he was , therefore , duly elected . Mr . Kettle ' s friends protested that there was a false decision , but their protest was in vain . Btween 200 and 300 of the Eton scamps paraded the town shortly after four o ' clock , shouting " Reid for ever , " and " showing tight , " in several instances to those they met wearing the colours of Mr . Walter . In some cases , however , the y g ot rou g hl y handled , and rolled in the mud . Soon after five o ' clock they beat a retreat to Eton . We have now to record the particulars of a most i n f amous o ut rage , committed by the soldery stationed at the Castle , on the inhabitants ofthe town . These

      ruffians are Queen Victoria ' s Life Guards , par excellence ! _ From eight o'clock until nearly eleven the town was in a state of the greatest excitement , occasioned by nearly 100 of the privates belonging to the 2 nd Regiment of Life Guards coming down from the barracks in a body into the town ( many of them in a state of intoxication ) , and committing the greatest excesses . They were armed with thick sticks and clubs , which they laid about , right and left , sparing no one who un fortunately came in their way . Each one wore a favour of the colours of the successful candidate . Their principal objects of attack were the unfortunate men whom they could identify as having been engaged to carry the boards , or act as messengers on the part of the committee of Mr . Walter . A man named Townsend , who had been shockinsly beat about the head and body , and

      another named Hill , were taken to their respective homes in aii apparently lifeless state . The servant of Mr . Legh , on e of th e boroug h magistrates , and several other of the inhabitants , including women and children , were severely injured . Many who were knocked down , while they were quietly proceeding along the street , were brutally kicked while prostrate . After these proceedings had been going on for an hour and a half , Mr . Tibbett and Mr . Blunt , two of the borough magistrates , went into Peascod-street , to attempt to reason with the soldiery , and to get them to go to their barracks . It was not , however , until past ten o ' clock that these courageous supporters of the gallaRt Colonel returned to , their quarters . It appears that they had been kept in the barracks all day , but after being well plied , with beer they were letloose after dark to commit the most brutal

      excesses . Windsor , Tuesday . —Investigate before the Magistrates . — It had been rumoured about the town on the previous night that an inquiry was to take place before the magistrates this morning , into the circumstances of the recent military riot . Beyond the magistrates , however , and their immediate friends , nothing was known with certainty on the subject ; for although it was one in which the whole town of Windsor was so deeply interested , no official or public announcement was made either of the fact fjb > at such an investigation would take place , or ofthe fame at which it would be held , or of the authority that had originated it . The investigation took place , not in tlie ' 1 own-hall , but in the magistrates' private

      room , which is not large enough to hold one hundredth part ofthe inhabitants of Peascod-street , whose property was so much endangered , and where some of the chief outrages topk place . The chair was occupied by the new Mayor , Mr . Thomas . Adams .. On his right sat Mr . Blunt , by whom the inquiry was conducted . On the left ofthe Mayor sat Mr . Clarke , the late Mayor , who also occasionally asked questions of the witnesses . Among the magistrates present were Messrs . Legh , CJode , Tibbett , and Banister . Major Williams , from the barracks , sat in the room during the inquiry , behind Mr . Blunt . Mr . Voules , the agent of Colonel Reid at the election , attended professionally in the room . Mr . Geary , a solicitor , was also present . It was

      understood that he attended to watch the proceedings for the persons injured during the riot , The first witness called was James Dobson , a sergeant in the Windsor police , who said ,, he was on duty on Saturday night in the High-street . Between seven and eight o ' clock several of the townspeople had assembled . Two or three of them carried one on their shoulders . They came up Peascodstreet . They were of the lower orders . They went into the White Hart-yard , where they remainedsome five minutes . They came out , and then stopped opposite Mr . Lovegrove ' s , who had something to say to them . They were "hurraying , " and the noise , was increasing as they went on . There were from twenty to thirty , all civilians . After Mr . Lovegrove spoke

      to them , the man got ofl the backs of the others . It was George Townsend , and he had got his face smutted all over . They stopped opposite Loveg rove ' s for a quarter of an hour talking , and then they took the man on their shoulders again , and went down Thames-street . One of Mr . Lovegrove's windows was broken . Witness followed them , and against the Red Lion door , atthe end of Beer-lane , saw three Life Guardsmen standing . The greater part of the peoplestopped and cried out "Walter for ever !" The soldiers cried out " Reid for ever ! " Someof the townspeoplejostledalittle aeainstthesoldiers . and the soldiers atthem , butno assault was committed . While they were standing there a young man came out of Sharratt ' s with one of Mr . Walter ' s Hags . Thomas Flowers was his name . Young Wellman was beside him . ihe mob followed Flowers up the street . When opposite Mr . Agar ' s witness tried to take the flag away from Thomas Flowers , the younger , seeing

      me men increasing , and to stop the disturbance , but was not able to do so . He left the soldiers standing at the Red Lion door , for all he knew , for he saw no more of them theiu He followed the mob down the High-street to the Black Horse , where they went to , going into the house , flag and all . After they had been there about ten minutes , two ofthe Life Guards came out of the public-house , followed by Townsend and several others , and went into the town . Mr . Gillmaii and witness went into the Black Horse , and told them ( the mob ) if they brought their colours again into the street , they would take them into custody , and possession of tke flag at the same time . Did not know the names of the three men who were with Townsend . Shortly ofter that two or three more came out of the house and went into the town . Benhain ( a policeman ) was with him part ofthe Xth ? tei e eith ? Bla « k Horse £ XnS into the heart of the town . Just as he trot

      _ vu ww u go UaCIv A young man named Dawson tried to persuade the f-w ner to go back . At length the soldiers went ddown Peascod-street , and the police formed a line , t the top , and would not let any ofthe inhabitant , pass . The number of the soldiers decreased evh time they came back up Peascod-street . The mainr part of the soldiers had got thick sticks , not the canw they usually cany . Some were walking-sticks but some much thicker— -they were short sticks . ' MVilham Gibbons , policeman , was the next witness ? w o rn 5 . b 1 ? evidence was mostly in corroboration of that of Dobson . He added that some of the military had stocks .. Some were broomsticks , and others sticks cut from the hedges . You could see the knot where they had been cut . One or two townsmen had sticks . One was a short one , about fourteen inches Jong , Townshend was the man who had tw .

      stick . Did not see Townshend knocked down . Saw Hill knocked down iyoneof the soldiers . Would not know the soldier again , ffhen Hill was knocked down the mob had dispersed , running away from the soldiers m all directions . The people always tried to get away from thesoldiers as fast as they could . _ Two other policemen were examined , and in the course of their evidence deposed that the ™ T ? 'er £ amed witu largc and heavy sticks . Mr . John Clode , jun . ( a member ofthe town-council ) then came forward as a witness . He said , upon being sworn , I was passing up Thames-street , about eight 0 clock oh ; Saturday evening , when I saw a crowd opposite to Mr . Lovegrove ' s , which passed down 1 hames-street . I followed the mob , to endeavour to persuade them not to commit a breach of the neacp

      i left them at the Swan Inn . On returning towards the Market-house , I saw a number of soldiers , armed with thick sticks , striking the people , and pursuing them in all directions about the Market-place and that part of High-street . One of the soldiers struck a man close to me with one of these sticks . After reeling a little while he fell en the curb-stone . While on the ground , the soldier struck him several times with his stick , and , stooping down , with his fists , and after that kicked him in the side in a most brutal manner . At that moment another soldier came \ m and struck the man when on the ground . The crowd out

      cneu "bliame ! " The soldiers left the man Iviiie there , and one of them , after saying , "Well , vho ' s the next ? " struck at a man who was passnw but he evaded the intended blow . The soldiers then rushed across the High-street , and struek amongst the rest , in the Market-place , a woman whose screams were dreadful . A little boy , who was with his mother , was attacked and struck by the sol . diers . At Bannister ' s corner a woman cried out "Walter for ever ! " when a soldier struck out at her with his fist . About halt-past ten o ' clock , after J had arrived at home , several soldiers passed my house , hooting and shouting , on the road to their

      barracks . Mr . Blunt hoped the witness would remember move particularly as to the hour at which he saw the soldiery . He could himself state that there was not a soldier in the streets after five minutes $ ast ten . Major Williams said the roll was called over at ten o'clock , and he conld state that every soldier was present in barracks except one , at twenty minutes past ten . Mr . Clode said , he had alread y sworn that it was at least half-past ten when hc saw tlie soldiers . He was at homeland therefore had the means ofknowinsr the time . His wife and sister were there , and could swear to it also . Mr . Blunt suggested thore might be a mistake . Mr . Clode ( emphatically ) . —No ; I swear to it . There could be no mistake at all .

      Ihe Rev . Mr . M'Crea could state of ills own knowledge that after twenty minutes past ten he saw twel v e soldiers , at least , standing by tlie Criterion beer-shop . They were Life Guardsmen , ant ' , they were not ofthe band . Mr . William John Astle , of Brunswick-terrace , examined : He deposed to having seen on Saturday night from fifty tosixty of the Life Guards assaulting the people , and knocking down with their thick sticks men , wo m en , and children . One woman he saw knocked down , in the Market-place , and while she was on the ground two or three of the military struck her with their sticks . Thinks she was taken to Mr . Foster ' s , the druggist . ' "

      George King , shopman to Mr . Adams , grocer , was the next witness . He deposed to'having seen Townshend strike a soldier , withhisfist , on the mouth , without the least provocation . Before this soldier could recover himself , another Life Guardsman struck Townshend on the head with a stick . and thenhe fell . Neither of these soldiers had taken any part in the affray . Neither brooms nor sticks were sold out of the shop on Saturday evening . Robert Wayman , a working man , after stating that he was cut on the head with a broomstick by

      the military , deposed that he saw five or six soldiers supplied with brooms at the shop of Mr . Adams , which they . paid for ; and that they then cut off the birch end and went amongst the crowd with the handles , and knocked about right and left . This witness stated that , he saw Mr . Adams in the shop at the time the soldiers purchased the brooms . Mr . Adams , his shopman , James Strange , and his porter , Joseph Ferryman , all most positively stated that not a single broom had been sold in the shop during the whole of that day . .

      -Mr . Blunt here stated , on behalf of the Mayor ( who he said was new in office ) , that the further inquiry would be adjourned till the 14 th pand that if in the' meantime any warrants were applied for against parties who could be identified as guilty of assaults , they would be granted , and the cases gone into -without delay . The proceedings were then adjourned . Adjourned Investigation . — On Thursdav the magisterial inquiry into the conduct of the military , at the conclusion ofthe proceedings of the election , o » tlie evening of Saturday last , was resumed this morning in the justice-room , at the Town-hall , which was densely crowded . Mr . Rupert Kettle , barristerat-law , who was one of the candidates to represent the borough , was present , and in tho course ofthe proceedingsadministered occasional but severe casti » gations to the just-asses on the bench , and the

      impudent attorney Voules , Colonel Reid ' s man of all work . Three witnesses were examined ' ; . Sarah Seagrove , John Gouls , and Jonathan Gilder , who made oath that they saw the soldiers purchase the brooms at Adams ' s shop , strip the birch from the handUe , and with the handles proceed to assault and beat the inhabitants in the way described by previous witnesses . John Martin ( servant to Mr . Leigh , one of the mn-Jistra tes ) voluntarily came forward to be examined . Ie had two black eyes ; his right eye , which had been much injured , was bandaged up . His account ofthe assaults made on him by the soldiers showed the greatest brutality on the part of the military ruffians . This miserable farce termed an " investigation , " in which there arc no defendants , but in which the magistrates do their utmost to screen the military , was again adjourned till Monday next .
