IJJ stating what ba * recentl y tram-pi red , as a part of the entire _conspiracy against me , I beg t » observe—1 st . —That in desiring another hearing , I do not seek to disturb or unsettle the verdict given b y tbe . arbitrator , on the 21 * t February last , or to interfere with _questions tben decided ; but simp l y to bring ont facu that were then either omimd or misrepreaected ; and to place tbe act * of other * , since the arbitration , in a proper hgbr , that my _cha-Tacter _msy stard fair with tbe public , on whoml iave to depend for the furs-re maintenance of my _* l * -f _ST , _/^ _TTJV _fftTTMlT *

I suppose that about three hours -will _s * -e tu through the entire examibation ; and it ia _probable tbat tbe replies of three or four . of thr f _incapal parties may decide tbe ca * e , in less time _, shall employ no _lawyers , having had enough of them , but » hali _a-k the questions in person . 3 rd . —I wish tbe whole proceeding- tobe published * u tbey _transpire , _Jeavirg the public to be tha only arbitrator * , and , whatever may be the result , witti them I » rU leave my case , believing that they will - _» -i-ri « _- » » r b f _^ _rT _~ f . r ? f » r _^» ffL

      X am > orry it is my duty to expose further deliD-• _nencies in some others who have m-t _> et been _bronght _befire ihe public , but I am compelled to do this in wlf-8 rfence . In the Leeds Mereury and tbe Leeds Intelligencer f Jiarc-h 30 , 1839 , Mr . Sbaw _hns horit-.- 'Jj _cceleaacd that be "has _crimed out with his own pen , a memor _* udum in my hand-wriling , which I conceive to be tbe principal p * rt of tbe _agreement of Aoga _» t -4 , 1832 . But he give * it a _tuisr , t 9 try to male it -fit his pnrpr . se , contrary to the intf m . of tbat

      _agreejsent . If Mr .

But 1 will ecgape to _f-aj , that no oe el > e will allow it te be right in any person _awindliBg his _ntiiibbour ont of £ 827- 10 * . 7 c . ; acd my eon _virion is , that when I _shall have the _epp-vrtu-jiry of _explaining the whole _ez & _- , it wi'l be _^ ro v « d to be a _^ _windlicg act on tbe part of Mr . Kavlor .

      Mr . Thomas Newsome ' _s case lies within a narrow empas * . He _appears in tbe _papers , denying a » _tatexseat to whivh he has affixed bis own nime , in the presence of two per > _or _>» not more than ten days ago !! 1 I have tbe document in my _possession tbat will prove this . To be _sho _* t with _JIt . Thomas Ne * -some , 1 xpect h « w : ll do as Judas did before this ca > e is « _od _?

Perring toak the same « oar _* ethe week after . I complained to him also , Vat he took no nonce m my remonstrance . I there"fere _roQi-adered . Mr . Perring a hypocrite and a

      deceiver ; for a few weefcs before , he advocated my _easr-, aad wrote a long letter in mv favour , wh _* ch be adv « ed mew print : and he printed me 500 circulars , a-na TM _^> ramentied _rceto _rn- _^ rt it in hi * paper and tbe Leeds _Mer-.-ury , ' and to encourage me to do so , he « harged onl y 25 * . for it , aad told me lo make use of Ms name to . _Vessrs Baines and Sous , to induce tbem to charge the same amount . But Messrs . Baines aad Son * charged me £ 4 for ita insertion , while at tbe Times Office I was only charged 30 s . It appears to _mt at present , that _Messrs . Baines and _^ _BrrfniT bave hid _soicethi _rs z to do with the _o'her

      gmlty narries . 1 will give my reasons for thinking aa . What appeared after tbe arbitration , I was not ¦ _ailswed to see till after it was published ; and * ben it did appear , all my b _* st evidence was kept from _faepoV'ie contrary to bargain ; and many oiber thing * , which were in my favour , were notpublisb _*« L But Messrs . _Baices ard Sons acd Mr . ¦ Pem _cg took care before it did appear , to obtain of my friends * money , £ 30 each , for keeping my truth * hack , sad p abliihing my opponent ' s _falseho od * . I hive been farther strengthened in my opinion during -fte two last week . < . from the _eirenrostanse that

      _Haters . Baines aad Perring have declined to insert ¦ my traths , though I offered to pay them for so doing Bat ta injure me still further , they have printed falsehoods for Mr .

My proof _acgais-x Mr . _TboniuS Newsome cannot be disputed , as hi * own band- writing will prove against bim . I * ccs _* e _Messrs . _Edward Baines and Son <* , Mr . _Perrin * :, and Mr .

      WILLIAM HIRST . P . S . Mr .

      GENERAL , COS VENT KM * _Wednesday , April * . Mr . Sankey , A . M ., delegate _£ > o * m Edinburgh in the chair . Letters were read from Bailie Craig , giving ; accounts ef his gr-at _succeKs ut Paisley , _iiankhea-J , Johnstown , and _stveral other places . The meetings which he described were attended by vast numbers , and among the rest by a great many ladies , who sepmed Ho tnke a great _in'erest in ihe _prcceedines . In all thost * places the _cl rgymen were most polite and attentive , and invariably gave tbe use of the churches lor the purpose of holding the meerirgs . The great bulk ef the people are enrolling them selves in the Associations which were brine

      oreauised . Fr _^ m Mt . Lo wery , missionary to Cornwall , stating that he was very successful , and would hold a countv meeting on Easter Monday . From Walsall ana from Eccles gi v _iog accounts of the increase i . f the Charter . From Mt . Richards , of the _Potteries , giving an account of his progress . In thin letter he stated that the reports in the papers , which made him say , is a former communication , that the _pi'tters bad only -6 s . 6 d . per week , was not true ; he said that the wages of the weavers was only 5 s . Gd .. and not the _per-sons employed in the Potteries . And also t > letter tram Edinburgh , stating that at n meeting held there a resolution was passed returning thanks te the people of England for tbeir resistance _tt \ * \\ e . -V _.. _W l _^ nni" I . _d «

      MESSRS . DOUGLAS , SALT , AND HADLjEY , Mr . _RrcHAiiDSON moved that the _resignations of the above gentlemen be received . Mr . Smart seconded the motion . Mr . Skevisoton proposed us an amendment tbat the question be postponed until the result of the meetii ; g , which was to be held this daj it BinninghniK , should be known . Mr . Cleate aaid thr » y , as the Convention , had so notice of any meetji g to be held at Birminghnm ; they , therefore , could not with propriety take any steps in this question . Mr . Pitkethly agreed with the _observationg of Mr _f- '

      _oKVPMr . Skevington would withdraw his amendment , Mr . Richardson _prrssed his resolution . He paid that no notice should betaken of tbe resignation of those members , no more than Mr . Cobbett or Dr . Wade . He thought that they owght to rejoice in the resignation . ( Hear , hVar . ) Yes , he did think that their _resirantion wonld be cause of rejoicing to the country , as tbe mass of the people would feel gratified that persons who could not De trusted were mnch better from them than with them . ( Hear , _hear . l

      Mr . CAKr enter thought no notice shonld be taken of the resignation of those gentlemen bnt in the usual way . But he thought also that the letter of those members should be taken into consideration on a future day , from the charges which it made agaiDst the Convention being of a very _serious nature . The _imputnlion which it made was very unfounded , and was of a tendency to send forth wrong impressions among tbe people of tbe condnct of the Convention . It ought to be known that it was not to anything but to a feeling that they hud lojit the confidence of their constituencies tbat the _Birmingham Delegates resi gned . They felt that the 100 , 000 people whom tbey _represented were much in advance of themselves , and ac . _ibg up to this knowledge , tbey thought tit to make a virtue ot _necessity , and give up the situation to which they thpy were elected . Mr . Mills moved the previous question , which being seconded , was put aud carried by a majority nf r . n »»_

      Mr . James Taylor brought forward a motion b y which tbe attf ndmice of the Delegates in Convention could be more strictly enforced than heretofore . He said that the necessity of something being adopted to prevent the Members absenting themselves , during tbe sittiiig , was so obrious to ev _^ ry person , tLat be did cot feel inclined to offer but a few remarks on the subject . It was not at all necessary to recal to their minds i 1 h » great trust which had been reposed in them , and , therefore , how much ihey were bound to a clot * attendance , in discharge

      of the onerous da ties wJrcli * fb ** y had taken on themt _^ lves . He was of _opiriit n with Sir Wm . Jones , who fifty _ywtra ago stated that unless there were 2 oOXX ) 0 persons armed , there would be little chance of obtniningredr . as of wrong * -. He did not advise the people to aim , bnt fee Thought tbey had a right to bave arms . Tlis led him to think that it was m cessary for them to be close in their attendance in their place , in _ensv anything should occur which would require their speedy deliber » iioii . ( Hear , bear , hear . ) Dr . Fletcher seconded Dr . Taylor ' s resolution . Mr . Cardo _suuDorted tbe resolution .

      Mr . Rogek 8 hoped tbey would in future avoid all mention of _tl . e word physical force . It was tiineenough to lx * _gin to think of this _subject when the fate of the petition abonld be known . Mr . Peegan , as a member of that Convention , never _mentiyned the wcrd physical force at any or the _meetings ' , although his coustituents would not think the bttter of kim for not more often alluding to this doctrine . The people of the north of England had not the least fear of the consequences ol physical lorce , on the _cditory . they w _» re determined to have arms , and notwithstanding his ( Mr . Deegan ' s ) knowled ge of this feeling , he and tho other Members from _Laneut-hire never alio * ed anytbing to escape _frum them which eonld show _anuiclination , io cress the doctrines of their own constitu .

      _t-ntt-on * ury other _jtor'ioa of the _Convention , Mr . _CARi'Ei \ Tr . R supported the ri ght of the people to arm ( or _constitupunfll _purpesrs . r Jlr . J , TaYtoR , in reply , was sorry that anything he had . said with regard to physical force should hnve drawn out Mr . ru _^ rr * , who must recollect , that the strongest speed- , wbich was made at the Crown and Anchor meetii g , wasmade-by bim ( Mr . Rogers ) . and it i > »« id that the speeches made at the meeting were the cause of the withdrawal of the Birminghem Delegates , ( Hear and laughter . ) Now that ibe disruision ** Licb had _taktn p ' ace would be before the public , it would answer all the purposes he Lud in view in biii . giug forward this motion . He would therefore rx ? g leave to withdraw it . The subject dropped .

      TOUT OPPOSITIOJf . . Mr . Cardo gave an _accounts his mission iu ! part of _Dorst-t-hire . The _people about Tiverton and that _neishbontbtiod were afraid to listen to him . At Sherborne they had a great _mctinp , although it was reported otherwise in tbe local press . The Convention could not conceive the meREs thrtt _** _ere used to prevent tbf people from joining in the movement in that place . He , however , obtained the signatures of seven hundred persons to tbe peli'ion . At Shaftesbvry the Mayor went from house to bouse to prevent tbe people assembling . The town criw rand tie billsticker were commfinded not to lend their assistance in * getting up the meeting . N < twithstanding all tbis he got up a glorious meeting on the common . The antnotities turned out beer and other refreshments at another p lace , but h * must say , to the houour of the people of Sbaftesbuiy , tbey were

      inoignantiy reiuseo . 1 ney tnen tet up persons to fight , in order to get np a riot , npon which he ( Mr . Cardo ) dissolved the meeting , and then proceeded to enrol nn Association , which he we * happy to say had been formed . In the neighbourhood of _Shaftesbury the poor _agricultural labourers were in a most deplorable state . ( Hear , hear . ) No more than sixpence per day was offered to good labonrers , and the food sold out to them by the farmers , at a d _.-ar rate , was of the very worst kind . ( Here Mr . Cardo produced a sample of the bread , made from what was sold ns wheat , which appeared to be manufactured from a dark substnnce similar fo asphnlte . ) He _nJso visited Blandford and Salisbury , where the _antborities gave him every opposition . He concluded by saying that no _matter how tbey thonght of phyxical lorce or moral force , the * peo ple wonld of themselves very shortl y b * compt lied to adopt some measures for their own r _^ _litf .

      Mr . Richardson said that Mr . Cardo was not _rigbtin saying that the people were refusing to become special constables . He had that morning received intelligence that 1 . 400 Chartists had been sworn in special constables in Manchester , and tbe same workshops tbat were producing p ikes were also _maiirffactori-og constables _trnacheons . ( _Huar bear and loud cheers . ) Mr . Hartwell corroborated Mr . Cardo ' s statements wiih re . ard to the neighbourhood which he had gone through . ( Hear . ) At Dorking , he ( Mr . Hartwell ) , ti . g-ther with Mr . Bruis , got np a meeting , although all the gentry in the neighbourhood ot the town did nse every exertion to prevent an assemblage , going to the shopkeepers and

      _tradesmen , commanding tbem to aoseut themselves Irom the meeting , lite Tories hired pprsons to give them every annoyance . The landlord of thr > house where the ? had lormed an Association was warned to refnse tbem the use of his _roonn _* , and threatened with the withdrawal of his licence . Upon tbi > being made known at tbe meeting , there were lond cries of Shame , shame . " Mr . Crawford ,. the Member for London , who was _present at the meeting , ps also was Lord _Beresiord , Mr . Hope , M . P ., and others of the gentry , went down to the Ram Iun , and told the landlord t- _« at ke , as Chairman of tbe Board of Magistrates , would be answerable fbr his licei ; se ; which declaration sati

      Rural Police And The Convention. Manches...

      RURAL POLICE AND THE CONVENTION . Manchester . —On Friday week , a public meeting of the Hulme Northern Union , was held in the large room , King ' s Head Clarendon-street , to take into consideration the ftur _^ l Police Bill , and to pass a vote of confidence in the General Convention ; at halfpast seven the room _wbs filled , and a great number could nwt get admittance . Mr . Quit ) was called to the chair , and _opened the _business by readin g the placard calling the meeting . Mr . Ben now proposed the first resolution . ¦ " ¦ That this meeting views with the utmost abhorrence the tyrannical attempts of our oppressive Government to force upon this nation a Rural Police and Spy System , which is intended to take away the list vestige of our liberties . We hereby tell our rulers that we are _determined to resist this innovation to

      the _uttermost of our power . " Not being in time we were unable to report hi * spepch in full . His object in moving this resolution was to rhow to the peopl . ' to what extent the monied chisses would support thu Rural Police , inasmuch as that would give them greater powers in some _instHiictfs ; in the Game Laws a man was transported for taking a hare or rabbit , to which by the laws of God and nature , he has ns much right as tho _present _possrssorsof the l * nd . They also fi ; id in _thes- 'dftys more difficulty fur their keepers to prevent poachers _Iiohi _taking game ; but if this bill passed _iuio a law th * v would tie euabled to call tae police to the assistance of their keepers ; but , Sir , there ar _« other cvses of more importance than this I have _joit mentioned . If the bill is carried into effec' , it will be itu unconstitutional attempt to _subvert the rights and liberties of the people of this great nation .

      Mr . Hjohes , in risit / g to second ( he resolution , said , 1 fully ngree with the spirit therein contained , as I consider that it is time that something should bo dene for the pople of this county , not by the introduction of til ** New Poor La v , nor ih _»* introduction of the Rurnl Police . No , Sir , if the introduction of those laws were forced upon us by a wicked Government , the people _should resist those unconsuUuonal and uncliristian _men-ims , with all the means they possessed . It was the duty of the prcduciug classes to come forward and sign the National

      Petition , and not tube bid aotray by signing lor a rrueal of the Corn Laws , until the principles of the _Charter wtre fully est _» tblisbi * d . My lriends , will yoa submit to tyranny ? Will you tamely submit to the insulting names and various insults heaped upon vou by your enem es ? ( Cheers . ) Will you act " with the men that fine you for coming late to their mills in a momiug , —( cheers and " no , no , _nuver , '' ) —and keep you locked up iu those mills duy afcer day ? The resolution w & s put and carried _ununimoii _. tli ' .

      Mr . Smith rose and said , I have in my hand another resolution for your consideration which I will read' _•• That we the working men of Hulme and the surrounding districts , in public mebt jug _assembled , do most solemnl y declare that we ha e tbe greatest confiJeuce in the General Convention , and 11 re determined _tosupportit to ihe utmost of our _powu-r , and _ftnyatt-mptou the part-of the _Government to prosecute thu delegates in the legal discharge of their duties , will De a declaration of war upon the people , who must then do their duty as becomes freemen . "

      Now , Gentlemen , it would be presumption iu me to trouble y _& u wuh any account of the _tyrannical acts _practised _towards you ; but to _bu able to _muke a bold stand , you must be united and firm . We have _tri d moral force too long ; we must prepare oursvlvea for tbe worst , and in such a maimer , that there can be no mistake ; we should be unworth y the ntme of men , were we to allow the New Poor Law , or the Rural Police Bill to be carried into effect . Will you have those la » s ? ( No . ) Gentlemen , if the _Government will continue to make such htws , it is high time we set about to make good laws for oarselves : for my own part 1 will never submit to see my children carried to thesu work places and made criDDlesof in the same wav that 1 am invseK

      b y the cursed factory * vstem . If the Government will go on in this manner we ought to be determined and ready to risk every thing to obtain our rights and to support tbe General Convention , for 1 am sure that every true Radical iu the country has the greulest confidence in the delegates . Mr . Butteuworth tben came forward and _snid . M r . Chairman and Gentlemen , 1 fully agree with the former speakers in some things , and in others I do not . They say that tbe introduction of the Rural Police is tor the protection of hare and rabbit hunting ; no . Sir , the Government see that the people are beginning . to think for themselves , and also determined to act for themselves ; they have foimed a Parliament , one of their own choosing , and by that Parliament they witl stand , be the conseq -. euce

      what it may . We have made up our minds to resist thii last stab to the rights of Englishmen . Are we to have police ¦ pies to haunt _ourtootsteps ? Are we , on all orcasiohs , to have a rascally policeman to wp . tch all our movements ? ( Cheers . " No never . " ) Are we in tact , not to he permitted to breathe the air without the sanction of a policeman ? This t \ stem cannot and must not be endured ; we are fur 'he last time remonstrating , and if that will not do , we will act fer ourselves aud use the strength of our right arms with something in them .: —( _ctieers aud cries " we will fight ; " )—as for the trial oi moral force , it is all a farce ; the thing ** ill not be settled until physical force is brought into action . The _speaker _i- at down amid loud cheers , after seconding the _Tawf _. l ntinn

      Mr . Linney saiJ , I am unprepared to speak to the resolution , but , in the meantime , I will not be silent , as this subject is one that interests every man . If one of us went to any strange cooniry on the continent , the inhabitants weuld say there is a _lreeborn En glishman . . Oh I Sir , they are _sorrowlul free-boru Englishmen—in reality thev are Euglish slaves . I was in Bolton the other day in , a Tory ho u * e , in company with a Captain and a Lieutenant . [ Here the speaker went on to relate a l » _uig couversaticn with those worthy characters . He also stnted that a meeting should have been in Bolton this _ni-iht , but the Dase Whigs so far prevniled on Mr . Batty , that he would not allow his circus for the _metetinsr . H « _« _mokei of th _<» rnnfM » nr » th * . _nponlw

      hnvi > , generally , of " the Convention . ( Cheer .-. " )] " Rev Mr . Jackson said , Mr . Chairman , 1 very heartily suppport the _resolution , as it will bo thu means of strengthening the hands of the Convention . If they have the confidence of the people they will act well ; withont the people , they can do nothing . I am much rejoiced tbat roUen , London ia alive to tbeir duty . They say .-that they are ready—the whole country say tbey are ready , and theConvention b * j they ' are ready . 1 tbiuk ,. Mr . Chairman , that we " _j \ _522 ? _-i *! our liberty , and , my Lords Russell awl _^ _Hrnrotrrne , will fcrwr-p behind _thrae broken ramparts , to shelter themselves from the just _indignation of an injured people . Mr . MimrHY . —I rise te move the third resolution . ( Hear . )

      Mr . Finney , delegate to the Convention , _frors Wigan , entered _, the , room and was received with loud cheers , which lasted for ' several minutes . When th" _cheering siibsiced , Mr . _Muttpnv resumed . I am , Mr . Chairman , unable to address the meeting in consequence of having a bad cold , but at the same time feel great pleasure in moving the _resolution . Mr . Finney delivered an eloqnent and powerful speech on the prV * seht state of the couutry , and the position of the General Convention , which was received with _ureat _cheerinsr-.

      Mr . Dean _seconded the resolution . Mr . Knight . —As the evening is getting late .

      NEWGATE AND LEADEN HALL MARKETS , MONDAT . Kor the time of year a large quantity of slaughtered Meat has reached these markets since our hut from all quarters , it having proved somewhat more extensive , than in ( he precediag week , whilst _scarcely any inferior Meat , with ihe exception of the Sheep from _Aberdeen , has beeu ofltring . About 70 slaughtered Pigs have arrived by a steam-vessel from Djiblia The prices which have been uf late obtained for the Scotch _consignments appear to be , on the whole , _satisfactory to the _shippers , which is owing , in a great measure , to the improved condition in which the supplies arrive hither . Since this day se ' nnight : tbe attendance of buyers has been somewhat numerous , yet the trade has beeu by no means brisk , at but little variation in priees , if we except Lamb , which ia fully Is per qr dearer .
