      SONG FOR THB CHABTISTS . _Britannia ' s sons arise , arise , AH yonr interests blend In one ; Nobly face your enemies , Hurl injustice from its throne . Freedom ' s banners now unfold , Bach determine to be free ; Imitate your sires of old , The contest is for liberty . yow a mighty phalanx form , With the brave O'Connor join ; firmly brave the impending storm , For the Charter all combine . Britain ' s sons with courage fight , £ _sch determine to be free ; Pat the fictions both to flight , The contest is for liberty . Britons , will you still submit

      To eitbar Whig or Tory power ; "Will yoa cringe beneath their feet , Or kneel their favours to implore ? No ! let every Briton cry , We ' re determined to be free ; Or _struggling for onr Charter die ; The eontest is for liberty . Hail . ' nobis O'Connor , our chieftain , well greet thee _.

      Vygfrns. The Leeds Improvement Act.— Cos...

      _vygfrns . The Leeds Improvement Act . — CossrHPflox _r y Shoee . —We are glad , for the sake of the inhabitants of this large town , that the powers of the new Improvement Act , on the subject of the consuls prion or prevention of smoke from steameDgine chimneys , furnaces , & . _<* _. , are somewhat stringent ; not more so , indeed , than they ought to be , and we do hope tbat possessing the power the Council will be determined to compel all proprietors of s _^ am engines and furnaces , within their jurisdiction , to adopt such means as will abate the intolerable nuisance to which the inhabitants of Leeds as well as other large manufacturing towns have been so long subjected . Much has been said and written oa this top c , and we are surprised to find tbat even yet there are parties so stupid , or so _wUfallt blind to rheir own interests , as to

      argue teat mere are - yet no means _aiscorered by which smoke can either be _prevsrr . ed or cor . 5 umed . Various plans have been Droa « h _. _fotwiid to effect the object , and amongst others by Mr . Williams and Mr . Rodda , who , we _believe , have fitted their apparatus to several mil ' s in this neighbourhood , tbat of the latter being highiy spoken of , though we have not yet witnessed its operation . Bnt on Saturday lasi , we visited several mills in Leeds , to the steam-engines of which had been attached a recently-patented apparatus , invented by Mr . Prichard , of Burley Mills , near Leeds ; and if the effect in all cases would be the same as in those where this apparatus is already in operation—and we sea no _reason to doubt that it would be so—it will reflect no credit on the manufacturing community generally , if they wait until tbey _tiv compelled to remove a nuisance unaer which ail large manufacturing towns have so long Buffered , and of which the inhabitants havs so much reason to complain .

      GLOSSOP . —A correspondent sends us the following _statement : —Fifteen persons have been arrested in this neighbourhood , and committed to take their trials at the forthcoming assize , for offences connected with the recent turn-out . - Of thi 3 number , four have been liberated on bail ; the _renrainder are now in the county gaol of Derby . Two boys , named _Sacaiiel Howard and LotLawton , together with Boity Lawton , have been committed on a _charge of felony , with intent to commit murder on the person of Joseph Cooper , a stoat young man , about twenty-five year 3 of age , ths son of a factory master residing at Hclehonse , in the parish oi Glossop . In this case , ths magistrates , George Andrew , Moses Hadficid , Robert Ashton , and George "William Newton , _Esqrs-, refused to accept of-bail .

      Lot Lawton is sixteen years of age , and Betty Lawton , his mother , sixty-two . Immediately after their committal , they were placed upon , and hand-cuffed to , the Sheffield eoach , on their way to Derby , in ihe _charge of Joseph Oates , constable for Whitfield , in the parish , amid the shrieks of the _woman ' s children and aged hu _.-band , who is Tery infirm _asd helpless , and _iries o ; " shame ! shame ! " from the spectators . The _La-rions haro always borne very respectable characters , and have brought up a funily of thirteen chillrcn , none of whom , before this eveut , ever appeared before a _Magistrate , either for offence or crime . Never was more paltry evidence given in a Court of Justice than that which was given on this occasion _lgainst an evidently innocent boy and his aged

      Bother . A committee has been appointed for the _psrposes of raising a fund for the defence of the _ii > ove victims , they being poor and not having _themselves wherewith to employ in their behalf the services of gentlemen of the long robe . The walls of this plsce have been placarded with addresses , calling upon the people to come forward and subscribe their mites on this occasion . The committee earnestly call uprn the work-people employed in the factories to subscribe weekly and liberally , in order that , on the day of trial , the neeiful may not be wanting , nor tbe victims sacrificed at the- altar of tyranny and cruelty . The _committee meet every evening at the house of Mr . James Coe , hat manufacturer Howard-town , Glossop , where subscriptions will be thankfully received . .

      The Tariff . —American Pork in Hertford . — We are informed that American pork of the first quality is selling in this town at _fourpence a pound , half tie priee of English , or something less . —Hertford Reformer . Thb 531 _Regiment is to be made a royal regiment , _haTing attended her Majesty in Scotland . _Moee Returned Emigrants . —The Eutau , from _Xew lcrk , which arrived at Cove on Tuesday , had _co ] e £ 3 than 2 o 0 emigrants onboard , returning to their native hud , some of whom are in a melancholy state of destitution . By a letter from Philadelphia , which arrived in town _yesterday , we learn that the greates ; distress exists among tbe emigrants in tbat city , as well as in New York , and the writer emphatically adds , "God only knows how thousands of these poor people will pass through the winter .

      prepared for the call , and feel that to neglect it now would be , practically , to coalesce with the enemies of the country . " The people prepared for it ! . Is it possible that , after the famine of the summer , the alleged ruinous prices of stock at fairs and markets , with _ 50 other similar evils , the people , meaning ihereoy the starving peasantry , are panting for the arrival of a day to _oisgorge their _superflious earnings into the _exchequer " of Burgh-quay ?

      fcrmciED Case of _Mender and Robbert at _CiB-DiFP . _—Tae neighbourhood of Bute-street and places _adjacent have btf-n greatly excited , in consequence of the death of Captain Carter , whose body w & s ioucd on Sunday morning last , in an erect position , between the " lock gates under the railwaybridge , crossing the new-cut at the bottom of _Bntejjreet . The singularity of the position ot the body ( being nearly midway * between the two ' gates , and taerefore centrally erected in the lock , ) together _* ith the finding of a pocket-book outside the dock , _gaTe rise to reports that the deceased had be _^ n _ttwdered , robbed , and thrown in . Two _boatmen , the _cdo named Thomas Davies , and the other John Richards , alias John Moss , were taken ! ato custody under suspicion of knowing something of

      this tragical event , bat were both discharged on Monday , at an inquest before Lewis Reece , Esq , Ccronsr , held at the Bute Arms , in Bute-street , on Uoaday morning . The body of the deceased was _Kuruned , and found to be perfectly -free from any _eternal bruises or wounds . After the Coroner ' s recapitulation of the evidence , the Jury retnmed the following verdict : — " "We find , from the evidence _ponced , that the unfortunate deceased was drowned a the _junction between the new and old canal , but _« v or by what means he came there we have no _?* *» n to adjadgs _, otherwise than by accident . We * fsj concur , howower , in the mysterious and suspicious appearances touching the absence of the _Bjoney _kaotrn to have been in his possession prior to v _jf _^ ta _, and consider _Jhere . is every probability of « s hanng been robbed .

      The Tariff.—American Pork In Hertford.— ...

      Strike in Birmingham . —Tbe Birmingham papers state that a general strike for the new prices has taken place among the tin-plate workers of Staffordshire ; and a similar strike exists to a considerable extent in Birmingham . Honesty . —As Mr . Wright , of Holies-street , Claremarket , was leaving a house which he had occupied for some time in Denmark-street , St . Giles ' s , a few days ago , be allowed a poor man named Williams , a carver and gilder , who has beeu for upwards of eighteen months out of work and was in the deepest distress , to remove some lumber which appeared to be of no value . The following day , however , Williams called upon his benefactor with a small box containing £ 20 , whioh had been deposited several years since and forgotten among the lumber . We trust that the poor man , whose necessities must have beeu a powerful temptation to dishonesty , was adequately rewarded .

      The Botxk Fair . —This fair was held here to-day . The prices obtained by the few persons who told have proved most disheartening . There was an extensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did not generall y amount to the sum paid for the same stock last _November or May . The only lot of bullocks which we heard were Bold were those belonging to Mr . Denis . This gentleman disposed of twenty ( out of a lot of thirty ) at £ 10 7 s . 6 d . each , although he refused , on the 4 th of April last , £ 11 5 s . each for the entire lot . Fat sheep sold at from 353 . to -40 s . ; lambs , from 18 s . to 22 s . ; milch cows , from £ 8 to £ 10 ; fat cows , from £ 8 to £ 9 . A few horses were disposed of at from £ 8 to £ 20 . Pigs were very low . Wool brought 16 s . per stone . —Boyle Gazette .

      Lisburn Fair , —The autumn fair of Lisburn was held last week . The show of horses was greatly inferior to that of other years . There were a fzw handsome young horses , adapted for saddle or harness , offered for sale , but most of the buyers of tbe English market having gone to the great fair of Balinasloe _, very few , even of the lowest description , changed hands . The show of cattle in Smithfield market was very large . Owing , however , to the curious feeling at present existing between the farmer and dealer , comparatively ' trifling sales were effected . Some

      prime springers went off at from £ 10 to £ 12 , Fat heifers were in pretty good demand , and brought fair prices ; but inferior cattle of all descriptions were scarcely looked at , and were disposed of at very low rates , On the whole , it may be stated that there is more of imagination than reality in the panic which prevails so powerfully at present among the graziers . No foreign grazier can compete with the Irish farmer in producing the highest descriptions of stock , and the prices now offered appear lower than they really are , because of the unnaturally high rates obtained during the last two or three years .

      Riots At Newbury

      RIOTS AT NEWBURY

      The town ol Newbury , Berkshire , has been the scene of disturbances , in which property to a serious amount has been wantonly destroyed . The circumstances which gave rise to the riotous proceedings are briefly as follows : there are within the borough of Newbury , two open fields , known as East and West Fields , which are held in severally by the respective owners of the soil , from or about tbe 8 th of November in each year , until the corn of the ensuing summer is wholly cleared : when for very many years prior and up to tbe year 1836 , and again to the present time , they were thrown open for the pasturage of all kinds of cattle , not only of the proprietors of those _particular lands , but of all freeholders and inhabitant householders within the town and parish of Newbury , without any stint or distinction whatsoever , snd withont reference

      to the possession or occupstion cf land . There were no fences to prevent the cattle depasturing there frem straying out cf the fields into the public reads and streets ; they , consequently , when turned out , acquired the habit of straying , and became restle £ 3 , and frequently _impounded . It was decided npon that these fields should be enclosed , under the provisions of the Common Fields Eaelosure Act , of the 6 th and 7 th of -William IV ., c 115 . The decision was confirmed at a pnblic meeting of the inhabitants . A large portion of the lower classes declared themselves opposed to the plan , and expressed their Intention ot resorting to summary measures for their own defence if the enclosure should be persisted in . An opportunity soon occurred . Two horses belonging to one of the townsmen named Aldridge were impounded . Tbe

      owner of the horses with a large number of his partisans determined on rescuing them . They proceeded to the place whither tbe animals were being led , and committed an unprovoked _assault on the man who bad them in their possession . Mr . R . Fuller _Graham , a _idiicttor ol the town , put himself in communication with Aldridge , ( who led on the mob to the attack ) ar . d informed him that if he and his party were contending for what they considered their rights , there was a plain , straightforward manner in which they shonld seek te establish them , and that if they would take the course which the law pointed out to them , and bring the question before a legal tribunal , he would pay the costs of all parties , be the verdict what it might He failed , however , to satisfy the mob , wbo received his proposal with contempt , and replied to him by the most aggravating insults . The numbers soon _increased to some hundreds , some of whom were the most dissolute and reckless inhabitants

      of the town . A large portion of Mr . Graham ' s property was destroyed , several _bundVed yards of iron railing , shrubs , ic , being torn up , broVen to pieces , and thrown into the road . A body of _eon & Jablea were sent out by direction of the Mayor , but they were speedily withdrawn . In an address to the _innablta'uta ef Newbury , issued by Jir . Graham , it iB asserVd that Aidridge , the ringleader of the lawless and _unprincipled mob , had been in _commrmication with the _3 _tev . Dr . Binney , who was appointed to the rectory of _Nlnrbnry three or four years since by Lord Melbourne . A . full statement of these outrages Is to be placed , _witfront delay , beforethe Home _Secretary . [ Tbis i * the con- > eguence of an unjust seizure of the common allotment lands of the parish by the Church banking party Through a similar infamous Act of the present Parliament , the _shopocrats have been induced by bribery and ccrrupricn to sell tbe rights of non-electors . This same business was en Bur day handled in St . James's Park . _]—Evestutg Star .

      Riots At Newbury

      CHESTER SPECIAL COMMISSON _Wxdsesday Evening . —The special commission issued for the trial of tbe prisoners charged with the _oommrfsion of offences in various parts of Cheshire , during the recent turn-out in the manufacturing districts , was opened this afternoon with tbe customary formalities at the Chester Castle . The judges appointed to try the prisoners are Lord Abinger . Sir E . H . Alderson , and Sir C . Cresswell . They arrived at Chester about foar o ' clock this day , by railway , and _having been met by the sheriff of the county . Mr . E . D . Davenport , proceeded to Chester Castle , and opened the commission , after which the Court was adjourned until half-past ten o'clock on the following day . The whole ceremony did not last longer than five minutes .

      The calendar contains the names of 66 persons , more than half of whom are charged with taking part in an attack on the Stockport workhouse , and the rest are variously charged with assembling to disturb the peace , with conspiring to prevent by intimidation and violence other parties from following their lawful occupations , rioting , uttering seditious speeches , and conspiring to excite disaffection and discontent against the laws and government of the realm . Since the printing of the calendar , the number of the prisoners has been increased by fresh committals ; but it is expected , aa many of them will be tried at one and the same time , that the whole of

      the cases will be disposed of by Saturday next . The case which will probably excite the greatest interest is that of the three prisoners charged with rioting at Brookfield , near Glossop , and demolishing the mill and dwelling-house of Mr . Samuel Shepley , who , it will be recollected , fired upon the mob who attacked his premises , and wounded these three prisoner . A description is given in the calendar of the different degrees of education which the prisoners have received , and from this statement it appears that about eighteen can neither read nor write , seventeen read imperfectly , twenty-three both read and write , and seven read and write well .

      THURSDAY , OCT . 6 . The Three Learned Judges , Lord Chief Baron _Abiugeb , Sir E . H . Alderson , and Sir C . Cresswell , having attended divine service in the Cathedral , entered the Crown Court at twelve o'clock this day . There was a large assemblage of persona in and out of the Courts . The usual formalities having been observed , the following gentlemen in the Grand Inquest answered to their names : —Mr . E J . Loyd , of Oldfieldhall , Foreman ; Messrs . H . Main waring , cf Peoverhall ; R . G . _Leyoester , of Toft-hall ; R . G . Perryn , of

      Tr _: ! fford-hall ; J : W . Tatton , of Wittinshaw ; G F . Wilbraham , of Delamere-honse ; S . _Jacsoa , of Nowtonbank ; J . B . Clegg , of Thurstanton-hall ; C . Ford , of Abbey field ; G J . Shackerley , of Whatcroft ; Sir E . S . Walker , of Chester , Kaight ; J . R . Datntry , of Northroad ; the Hon . C . E . Cust , of _Leasowe Castle ; _MesBrs . C . S . _Swettenham , of Somerford ; T . C . Cbalton , of Chalton-lodge ; T . Hibbert , of _BirtJes ; G . C . _Antrobus , of Eaton-hall ; J . Tomkinson , of Davenh & m ; C- Stanley , of _Dunham ; E . Leigh , of _Joddreil-hall ; Sir P . _Townsend , of Wincham ; and Mr . J . Brocklehurst , of Hurdesfield . M . P .

      The petty jurymen were chiefly selected from Birkenhead , opposite Liverpool . The Grand Jury being sworn , Lord Abinger addressed _thei-n v . z follows : —Gentlemen of the Grand Jury , you are _assembled at this unusual season to discharge a very painful , but a very important duty . A due regard for the public safety makes it essential that all tumultuous and unlawful assemblies of the people should be put down by force , if necessary , and punished with the utmost rigour of the law . At the Bame time we cannot reflect on Ihe occurrenc-s wbich bave recently taken place in the manufacturing districts withont mixed emotions of compassion , and , if I may say so , indignation—compassion at the weakness and ignorance of those deluded multitudes , who imagined they could effect the purposes they had in view

      by fore :- and violence , and who , as they nevi r fail to do , become the victims of their own delusion , and _suffer misery and privation , and many of them _punishmentindignation at the artful contrivances of those who , to serve their own private objects , and their own political ends , had promoted and excited the delusion of the poor and industrious classes by addressing to their minds deceitfal arguments , _unfounded in reason or in sense , and had then endeavoured to take advantage of the delusion they had caused , in order tbat they might thereby carry into effect their own objects . I need hardly remind you that it is one of the evils incident to a nation of great manufacturing and commercial prosperity , that the country which was flourishing from that prosperity should occasionally be subject to . gTeat reverses . It is the nature and habit of

      industry and enterprise to keep full the channels of supply , sometimes to overflowing , and whenever a check to _. the demand occurs there muse follow for a while a suspension of employment , a diminution in the price of manufactured produce and in the wages of labour , and very often , unhappily , distress and misery of the manufacturing classes . Tbe history of our own country furnishes examples of this kind . A bad harvest either at home or abroad ; the blockade of foreign ports with which we are _accustomed to traffic ; a war with a nation which tat «; s a large quantity of our manufactured goods ; the _disturbance of friendly relations between this and other nations with which we have commercial intercourse ; the uncertainty of the laws which affect trade and commerce ; somitimes the public _agitv . tion of tho great questions or principles on which commerce

      depends ; sometimes even the opinion that tbe Government is net wiEe enough to propose , nor strong enough to carry important measures for the _mninttaance and advancement of tha public weal , —all these are circumstances which tend to _paralyse industry and the enterprise of commercial men ; and at the same time to suspend ell those advantages which tha country was before gaining from a prosperous condition of trade and commerce . It would be easy , if necessary , to trace many , if not all , of these causes which have in succession or combination produced that distress we have lately witnessed . I stated juit now that we cannot view without emotions of compassion the situation of the industrious classes , who , not having a competent knowledge to form a judgment of their own as to the principles or the rights of property , or upon the

      questions on which their own prosperity is involved , imagine that they can by force and violence dictate terms to their masters , and thereby rescue _themsolves from a degree of privation and discomfort , against which no Government , however it might be formed , and no law , whatever might be its intention , could effectually secure them . Nevertheless you will find many , in that situation of life to which I have just alluded , and with that infirmity of judgment easily inflamed , when subjects are touched on relating to their own means of existence and their state of discomfort , induced by crafty persons , who excite and mislead them , to imagine that they are the fittest persons to govern themselves , and that they ought to have an equal share , if not a superior share , in the conduct of the Government and in the

      making of laws . I am a ' _reid that the manufacturing classes have been of late the dupes of this sort of persuasion ; and you will find in the occurrences which have called you together sundry examples of this delusion . You will find that there is a society of persons who go by the name of Chartists , and who , if they have not excited or fomented those outrages which will be brought under your notice , have , nevertheless , taken advantage of them for their own purposes , have endeavoured to prevent the unfortunate people from returning to their work , and sought so to direct them that tbey might be conducive to the attainment of political objects . And what is the ol ject of the Charter , which these men are seeking ? Wnat are the points of the _Charter ? Annual Parliaments . Universal Suffrage , and Vote _br _Bjllot . Yet , _Gentlemen , you will find by the

      evidence which wiil be produced before you , that it has been inculcated _up-, n many misguided persons that the sovereign remedy for all abuses , and the only means of putting themselves in possession of such a share of power as wonld enable them to vindicate their _own rizhts and secure themselves against oppression , is by the enactment of what they call the People ' s Charter . In what a strange situation this country would be placed if those who have no property were to possess a preponderating voice in the making of the laws ! These unhappy men do not consider that the first object of civilized society is the establishment and preservation of property and the security of person . What , then would be the state of any country if multitudes were to make the laws for regulating property , or were permitted to employ

      physical force to restrain individuals from employing their own labour according to their own judgment , or preventing their subsistence ? The foundation of civilized society may be considered to consist in the protection ef property and the security of person ; and if these two objects were removed , society must be dissolved . What a strange _tffect , then , would the establishment of a system of Universal Suffrage produce ; for under it every man , though possessing no property , would have a voice in the choice of the representation of the _people . The necessary consequences of this system wonld be , that those who have no property wculd make laws for those who have property , and the destruction of the monarchy and aristocracy must necessarily ensue . I do not pretend to judge the motives of those individnals who entertain such V 16 WS as I have

      been alluding to , but they seem to forget that it is impossible to establish a perfectly democratic representative assembly , in the formation of wbich every man in the country should bave a voice , without eventually destroying tbe monarchy and the influence of property , and leading to the creation of a form of Government which would become in tbe end an odious tyranny . Snch is the history of all attempts to establish a democracy in countries where a government consisting of mixed elements formerly existed . There i > a country wbich cannot be spoken of without respect and attachto

      ment , aa emanating from _ours _^ ves—I allude America , from which you may _eollecfcfipat security for property is afforded by a pure republic . In tbe different states of America there are pure democratic associations elected by Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot ; and some of these states bave recently exhibited tbe regard paid to property by democratic assemblies , by having protested against paying tbe pnblic creditor , and disre _^ _crded their own obligation to obey their own law made for hia security . If such _» system of democracy were C € tabli » _bed in England , the first consequence would be , that the ¦ _ecwity of property would be re-

      Riots At Newbury

      moved ; the public creditor and all commercial accumulations would be destroyed ; and , finally , or perhapa tbe first object aimed at , would be the destruction of property in land . There would baa universal agrarian law . The formation of such- a Government in a country like this must work universal tuin and distress ; and , after inflicting the most bitter of all tyranny , that or a democratic assembly , would terminate in a despotism . But it appears that persona , entertaining a design to establish such » form of Government have taken advantage of au occasional depression of the commerce and manufactures of the country , and the privations which the labouring classes are suffering , for the purpose of encouraging tbem to resist their masters , and to abstain from labour , telling them that this was the only means within tbeir reach

      by which they could obtain the accomplishment of their fivourite Cnarter . I am glad to be informedi gentlemen , that on some portions of the multitudes to which such topics were addressed they failed to have an effect There was a certain feeling of common sense , and a remaining attachment to the institutions of the country , which forbade many to listen to the voice of these Chartists . Nevertheless , gentlemen , you will find by the evidence which will be produced before you that great pains were taken to inculcate these doctrines on the minds of the pe . pie , and to encourage them by the force which belongs to assembled multitudes to carry them into effect In the cases which will come before you , gentlemen , you nay find persons entertaining these doctrines . 1 am desirous not to be understood as stating that the mere holding of any abstract opinion

      on political subjects is an offence ; but if these persons who entertained snch doctrines as I bave alluded to endeavour t » enforce them by popular tumult , they must be guilty of a grave offence . If yon should find , too , cases satisfactorily proved , where persons have used efforts to prevail on the labouring paople not to return to work , er have resorted to measures of tumult and disorder in order to carry into effect their favourite objeets , there can be no doubt that such persons are justly liable to punishment ; and you , gentlemen , will doubtless feel it due to your country to bring them before this Court There is another class of offenders who will be brought before you—namely , those who joined in assemblies of the people , the object of which was by force to turn others out of employment , or prevent them from continuing at work . This is a species of tyranny quite intolerable . What right has any man to dictate to another at what price he should labour ? If the party who labours , or the party employing . Is dissatisfied with the terms of the contract , they have

      nothing to do but to put an end to the contract I am afraid , for I believe the law has been altered in this respect , that even the combination of a number of workmen for the purpose of dictating terms to masters has ceased to be an indictable offence in itself . But , though this is not an indictable offence , so long as the combination be conducted in a peaceable and quiet manner , yet if they attempt to force others to join them by terror or intimidation , tbey are guilty of one of the most daring and outrageous acta of tyranny . What would be said , if a government differently constituted from our own , and acting by direot force on the peoploif ths powers of such a _government were exercised in a similar manner , in order that- the workmen might not continue at their labour ? Would it not be described as an insupportable tyranny , and as forming a just ground for insurrection ? Yet you wiil find that these unhappy men were not content with exercising the privileges which the law allowed them , of agreeing among themselves not to work without a certain rate of

      _remuneration , bnt they attempted by force to compel others to quit their labour . When a casu of this kind comes before you , gentlemen ; when you Sad attempts made by tumult , riot , and foice to detach the labourer from his occupation , you will consider them offences of an aggravated character , and in such cases I would recommend you to find the bills . The the third class of offences is in its nature not so aggravated , and yet is not to be passed over—namely , where persons have joined in a tumultuous crowd , engaged in some illegal design . You may say , and justly , that though a vast number of persons might assemble _togethsr , a few only might be _enRageA in any criminal design . Still , as the criminal design could only be effected by the terror which a multitude inspires , any man who joins the mob beoomts one of the persons countenancing and furthering the illegal end . If , therefore , a crowd _tumultously collect together , creating alarm to the neighbourhood in whieh

      it assembles , and assuming a character dangerous to the public peace , every person who j _jins it becomes an implicated party , and is by law guiity of riot , _though the party accused may have done nothing more than merely brought to the mob the sanction of his personal presence . I do not mean to say that a man might not be in a mob innocently ; for a person going home might find it necessary to pass by the place where the mob _wisf assembled , or he might go into the mob for the purpose of inducing another not to join . it , or prevent excess . There might be innocent motives which brought a man in the midst of a mob ; but aa by his presence he increased the multitude , the amount of which occasioned terror , it lies upon him to prove his innocence , and to show whether his presence there was voluntary or otherwise . I mention this as a case of simple riot ; and if you find persons joining assemblies which had illegal objeets in view , or which conducted _themselves in a tumultuous and

      riotous manner , you must bring them before this Court ; for if they have any txcuse which may operate in their defence ! they have no means of producing it before you . The finding of a true bill againsi them wili be _justiSed by the evidence ot a prima facie case against tfeem ; and if that case be proved _aga'nsrt . them , tbe onus probandi as to their innocence will afterwards be thrown upon them . From the information laid before me , I believe that I h _^ ve now described the general character of the cases which will be submitted to your consideration ; but there ate two other cases which I ought to montion . I have stated that whira a crowd assembled and acted illegally , those facts determined the character of the assembly to be unlawful . You will find that in some cases attempts have been made to extort money or _provisions , and whenever the parties so

      acting have succeeded in their design through the aid of terror and force , they have been guilty of the offence of robbery . This will probably form a class of the cases which will come _before you . _Gentlemen , you are aware that if any assembly of persons _bejin to demolish and pull down any building , that act constitutes a felony . Whether ' any cases amountiug to this offence will come before you , I am not sufficiently informed to say , but I have reason to think that some of the cases may take that shape . Ail the different classes of offences which I have mentioned will probably come under your consideration . If you find any persons fomenting disturbance , or endeavouring to work out their own particular views by creating a suspension of labour , ruinous not only to the parties themselves , but also to the country , and by forcibly compelling others to cease labour , tbey are

      liable to heavy punishment . If you find others seeking to obtain by intimidation money or provisions , or engaged in pulling down buildings , these offenders would come under a different class , but they would deserve your serious attention . I believe I have now described the character of the different offences , and I am not aware that I could add anything which might direct your inquiries . Still I shall be very happy to give you , if need ; ul , every assistance in niy power to facilitate your investigations . Nevertheless , I do not . think it probable that gentlemen of your experience and knowledge will require any further information . I cannot conclude without repeating my expression of compassion for the unhappy people who have acted under the delusion 1 have referred to . But , gentlemen , the law takes no account of such delusions ; and if a man

      commits guiity acts , he must be prepared to submit to _£ he consequences of his conduct . It is true that the poorer classes of the country have been suffering from great privations ; and I may allude to this Bubject , as it is matter of notoriety , and has formed matter of public discussion ; but it is very singular that the time chosen to break out was a period when a more settled commercial policy had been adoptnd , when every parson _expected a revival of manufacturing prosperity , and when , I believe , every person felt there was existing a _saliftnt point from which commercial prosperity might take its start . It is singular that this _shculd be the mom unt chosen to foment these disturbances ; and the country has suffered in consequencs of a suspension of that prosperity which might _confidently have been anticipated , and of which , I trust , it is not too late to hope for the return .

      ( Before Lord AVmger , Sir E . H . Alderson , and SL Cresswell Cresswell )

      CONSPIRACY . William _Moorhouse , S , Lees , R . Wild , J . Wild , Stephen Shirt , and John _Fairaaut , were placed at tbe bar to answer an indictment charging them with conspiring together , with _divers ether persons , at Stockport , in this county , on the 26 th of July last , and subsequent days , and by threats , violence , and intimidation _obstructing the cotton trade and manufactures there and then carried on by the peaceable subjects of our Sjvereign Lady the Queen . They were also charged with unlawfully assembling together with a view of effecting , by _forca and violence , certain great changes in the constitution of the country . The prisoners weTe indicted , together with several other persons not in custody , and a person named James Lewes , ont on bail . Thia individual not appearing , was called upon his recognizances , which were estreated . The prisoners , on being asked whether they would traverse , all consented to be tried , with the exception of James

      Wild . I Wild . The Attorney-General ( Sir Frederick Pollock ) , tbe Attorney-General for the Palatine ( Mr . Hill ) Mr . Jervis M . P ., Mr . Welsby , and Mr . Pollock , appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr . Yardley for the defence . Singular as it may appear , these were the only barristers in Chester , one only being left ( Mr . Yardley ) for the defence of tbe prisoners , and u two courts were sitting in the course of the day , prisoners were obliged to be tried undefended . Mr . Pollock having opened tbe indictment , Tbe Attornev-General , instating the case for tbe prosecution , gave a succinct history of the commence meet and progress of the disturbances ba tbe manufacturing districts , and proceeded at considerable length to point out the character of tke disturbances . He called the fallowing witnesses : —

      William Clayton was the first witness called . —He deposed , I am a constable of Hyde . On the first Wednesday in August I heard a bell ringing in Hyde on that day . I attended a meeting oa that day to the

      Riots At Newbury

      extent of about 2000 . I aaw William Moorhouse and Robert Wild , and Stephen Shirt . At this meeting a person of the name of Condellet was the chairman . He read a resolution , which was seconded by Moorhouse , that if there was another reduotlon would they one and all come ont ? and there was a cry of "Yea , yes . " Condolett then _proposed a show of hands in favour of It , and he then said . " I hope the people of Hyde will pr ave true to one another , and We will soon have our rights , and that will be the Charter , and nothing but the Charter . ' * Moorhouse and Leach both spoke at that meeting , and Condelett announced tbat on tbe following Sunday morning a meeting would be held at _Mednesham-green , Matham-moor . Cross-examined by Mr . Yardley . —I am a constable at Hyde . I have selected that part of his speech which seemed the most striking . The meeting dispersed quietly . Some of the speakers impressed upon the meeting the importance of keeping tbe peace .

      Joseph Little—I was at a meeting on Sunday , the 17 th AugUBt , at Me « _nesham-green . There were about 400 persons present Moorhouse was the chairman , and on taking the chair he said , "My friends and fellowworkmen—lam appointed Chairman of the meeting , and must inform you that we are not met here for a wage question , or a religious question , it is for a national question ; but I will not . intrude on your time , as you will be addressed by my brother Chartists from Hyde , Ashton , and other places , who are more able to address you than I am , aud they will explain to you that we Chartists are met here for a national question . I will sit down" He called ou another person , who came forward to address them . I left the meeting , and returned again in half au hour , at which time a person was addressing the _meeting , but I did not know him .

      After my return Leach and Condelett addressed the meeting in the presence of Moorhouse . He told them the church ( pointing to Matbam Church ) was built for a good purpose , but now filled by thieves and robbers , the cotton fraternity ; but they would all be parsons aud " blue bottles , " if thoy were paid by the Goverument £ 80 a year , a nice sum for a working man—a uian who works only one day out of seven . " But let me tell you , " said Leach , " the church is an open hell , and filled by the cotton lords and thieves , and good honest people they will not allow to enter ; but let us be true one to another and there is property enough in this plentiful country , and support for us all ; and If you have net the common necessaries of life take them , and who can stand against you ? Now the prisons are full , and in the prisons

      they do not want you . " On the same day , in the afternoou , I attended another meeting on the same spot . There might be about 800 or 1 , 000 persons present . Moorhouse was tbe chairman , and I saw Robei t _Wiirte there- He addressed the meeting , but I took no notes of bis speech . He advised them to sUnd for the Charter . The meeting lasted nearly three hours . _Moorhouse also addressed the meeting . He said , " you bave been told the evils we labour under , and I am requested also to tell you that a meeting will take place at Stalybridge to-morrow morning , and will proceed from factory to factory and turn them all oat , and when we are out we will stay out until the Charter , the only guarantee for wages , _becomes the law of the land . I hope to meet you all to-morrow morning , at Stalybridge , where we will join hand in hand in this great national turn-out . " A show of hands was taken , and they agreed to be present at th * meeting at Stalybridge on Monday , tho

      ( ith . I aU nded a maeting in the market-place . Hyde , about six ociocic in th _« evening . I should think there were Bt least thne _thiusand _perssns _present . The prison , r Mo , _rhou e and others addressed the meeting . The _g _> neral substance of t ie speeches waa to advise the people not to go into their work until the Charter beenrae the law of ihe land . On the following morning a meeting was held in the same place , aud similar language was used by the speakers . Leech was present , and said they intended to go and join the people of Ashton , and from there they would go to the Exchange in Manchester , where they would meet the cotton lords , and he had no doubt they would soon have the Charter . ; I believe he advised them to divide themselves—one part to go to Ashton , and another to Stockport I attended another meeting on the same day , and it was much longer than the one in the morning .

      Mr . Yardley , for the defence , cross-examined this witness at some length , but elicited nothing whatever calculated to shake the fairness of his testimony , and the Judge then adjourned the Court until to-morrow ( Friday . )

      NISI PRIUS COURT . ( Before Sir E . H . Alderson . ) Joseph Taylor , William Smith , James Kershaw , and William Martin , were placed at the bar , charged with _havi'ig feloniously thrown down and destroyed a lock on the Peak Forest Canal , on the 15 _'h of August last , for the purpose of putting a stop to the labour of persons employed thereat . Sir E . H . Alderson inquired whether the prisoners had counsel to defend them ? and Mr . Vaughan , a solicitor , stated that though he was instructed to procure the aid of counsel for the benefit of the prisoners , be was unable to do so , as no counsel were present except those employed for the Crown . The Learned Judge then informed Mr . Vaughan that , under these circumstances , he would be permitted to plead on _behalf of the prisoners .

      Mr . Vaughan replied that he could not undertaketo do this , as he was already engaged to assist in the defence of other prisoners , at present on trial iu the other court . Mr . Hill , the Attorney-General fGr the County Palatine of _Chester , described tbe nature of tho charge against the prisoners , and called James Couipton , a constable , who detailed the circumstances under which the outrage was committed . The Jury having retired ; returned into court , and brought in a verdict , acquitting Taylor , and finding the other prisoners Guilty . They recommended _Ksrshaw % 'i mercy on tho ground of his previous good character . The same parties were again indicted for riotously assembling at Marple , and conspiring to disturb the publio peace , by preventing persons by means of force and intimidation from continuing at their woik .

      In proof of the charge against the prisoners it was Btated , that words of an exciting tendency had been addressed by the prisoner Taylor to a meeting ; and that among other things he advised the people not to return to work until the Charter became the law of the land . It was also stated that a person introduced to the meeting by Taylor had made use of inflammatory language , and had advised the people to aot as Lord Kinnaird had said in the House of Lords he would aot —namely , that if he wanted food he wonld take it where he could get it . Ths prisoner Taylor , who is a working man , and appeared to _possess considerable intelligence , addressed the Court in his own defence . He denied that he bad used words of a seditious character , and contended that one or two passages ought not to be selected from the speech he had delivered to the meeting in question , but that the tendency and character of the whole of it should be considered .

      The Learned Judge , in summing up , said thai Taylor might have used improper _language to the meeting he _wus addressing , but intimated that there was no proof of a eoncpiracy on his part to force others from their employment . Taylor was responsible for the language used by the person he introduced to the meeting , as he was present while the language was uttered , and did not protest against it . With respect to the words attributed to Lord Kinnaird . it was improbable that they were ever used by the Noble Lord , or the House of Lords weuld no doubt have noticed them ; - but it was a regular exhortation to the people , on the part of the person who uttered thtin at the meeting , considering the circumstances under which thoy were uttered at that _meeting , to Commit robbery . The Jury Acquitted the prisoners of a conspiracy , but found them Guilty of attending an unlawful meeting . Both the Courts adjourned until nine o ' clock next morning . ¦ . '

      FRIDAY , October 7 . This morning , Lord Abinger sat alone in the Crown Court ; two other courts having been opened , one at the . Nisi Prius end , and tho other in the Grand Jury room . In the former , Mr . Baron Aiderson presided ; and in the latter , Mr . Justice Cresswell . The trial of the prisoners , arraigned on the previous day , was proceeded with . James Wild , One of the Hollingworth rioters , who , at the opening of the ca 38 , expressed a wish to traverse to the spring assizes , appeared in the dock , and asked to be tried along with the other prisoners . Tbis request was complied with ; aud Mr . Yardley , on the part of the defendant , consented to the arrangement , with the understanding that the evidence given on Thursday should be taken as applying to him , as well as to the rest of the prisoners .

      A witness named James Buckley , a labourer , was called to prove the offence ; and his testimony , huch as it was , was ( supported by one or two others . Mr . Yardley addressed the jury for the defence . The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty" on all the counts against the whole of the prisoners , with fhe exception of Shirt , who was found guilty on the . second count only , The prisoners were then ordered to stand down . . Several other prisoners were tried during the day for rioting at Rollington , but no feature of interest was presented . SATURDAY , Oct . 8 . Lord _Abisoeh presided in the Crown Court , Mr . Baron Aldebson in one atthe Nisi Prius end , and Mr . Justice Cresswell in the Grand Jury room .

      Lord Abingeb took his seat on the bench this morning at a quarter-past : nine o ' _otoelci , , The Atiobkbt-Gehbiui . ( with , whom was Mr . Sergeant JEBVis ) conducted the prosecutions io tbis Court throughout the whole of the day . The Jury having been sworn , ¦' _-, ' _, James Thorpe , Samuel _Fearns , George Tay ; or , William Wilde , and James Hague , were the first prisoners placed at the bar . Wilde , Thorpe , and Hague , pleaded * Not Guilty , " and Fearns and Taylor pleaded " Guilty . " _TheAiToaiCET-GEHEKAi . stated [ thecase . . Mr . Yardley addressed tbe Jary in defence or the prisoners . ..... The _Attobnkt-Gbnebai . replied briefly .

      Riots At Newbury

      The Learned Judge summed up the evidence , and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty . James Darbyshire , Martha Baker , William Rock , Joseph Smith , and Hamer Smith , were all placea in the dock , charged with riot and robbery in tha Stockport Union Workhouse , on the 11 th of August last . The whole-of the prisoners pleaded "Not Guilty /' Darbyshire was tried alone , the other prisoners being for the present ordered to sit down . The Learned Judge _snmmed np the evidence , ami the Jnry immedhtroiy found the prisoner Guilty . His Lordship then sentenced him to transportation for life . William Turner , Samnel Kaye , and William Robinson , were indicted for having , on the 13 : h of August , riotously assembled , and , with many otherS _f oonspiring together to stop the process of labour , at Marple , in the county of Chester . They wore ali found Guiity .

      John Webb , Martha Baker , William Rnck , Joseph Smith , and Hammer Smith , wero again brought up and put upon their trial . The Attorney General stated the case . The prisoners were found Guilty , and each sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the Chester House of Correction . This being the last case that was to come before the cour'vhis Lordship ordered the whole of the prisoners who had been round Guilty before him during the three days-to be placed in the dock to receive sentence .

      Lord ABiNOER _^ in addressing the prisoners , repeated some of the observations delivered in hi- charge to the grand jury as to the illegality of the prisoners ' conduct and the dangerous tendency of their prinoiples , and the course they had adopted to enforce them upon others ; and concluded by _pussing on the & the followiiig . sente _^ cei : Joseph Buokly , William Moorhouse , Robert Wilde , John Farhurst , and Samuel Lees , each two years' imprisonment with hard labour , in Chester Castle ; Stephen Shirt , eighteen _mun _' _-bs' _imprisonment , with hard labour , in _Knutsi ' or . i House of Correction ; James Wilde , Thomas Thorpe , Jamea _Hngue , Wm ; Turner , Samuel Kay , and J . Robinson , one year's imprisonment , with hard labour , ia Chester Castle ; John Buokly , six months ; and Oliver Fry , Thomas Winterbottom , and John Smith , the - three prisoners who wero wouadod at Mr . Shepley ' s mill , tho short _period of three months only , on account of the injuries they had received .

      ' The business of the court being ended abont three o'clock , his Lordship took his departure from tha city immediately .

      ( Before Baron A Iderson . ) The learned Judge took his seat on the bonch thia morning at half-past nine o'clock , and _proceeded with the trials of the prisoners charged with breaking into the Stockport workhouse . The whole of the cases tried to-day in the three Courts were all more or less concerned in the attack on the Stockport workhouse , and as the evidence was in each case substantially the same , it would bo useless ta repeat it . Mr . Attorney-General Hill arid Mr . Pollock conducted the proscontions in this Court . The Learned Judge directod the prisoners who were tried bofore him yesterday and found guilty of riot to be brought before him . They wore severally sentenced as follows -. —Thomas Morns , Charles _Htrrop , Samuel Go 3 ling , and Samuel Shepley , to 18 months' imprisonment , with hard labaur , ia Chester Castle j and Joseph Done , one year , in tha same prison .

      The sentences passed npon the prisoners tried today , who were convicted of riot and felony at the Stookport workhouse , were as follow : —Thomas Hayes , transported for 14 years ; John _Charleaworth , Michael Leyfisld , and Thomas _Torks , seven years ; William Wright , two years imprisonment , with hard labour in Chester Castle ; Joseph Taylor , sixteen months , with hard labour ; _Joseph Torks , James Hatton ' , John Rhodes , and Jamus Harrop , twelve months , with hard labour , all in _Chester Castle ; William Smith , James Kershaw , and \ Vm . Morton , one year , with hard labour , in Knutsford house of correction . The business of this court was concluded at five o ' clock .

      (• Before Mr . Justice Cresswell . ) In this Court , also , the cases tried were for riofc and felony at the Stockport workhouse . Charles Howard , William Soddon , and Thomaa Warhurst , transportation for life ; John Smiih , Wm . Miller , James Smith , Joseph Cowan , and John Selby , transportation for ten years ; John Burgess , Edward Walker , William Barnet , Michael Lenard _, John Duncalf , William Simmons , Thomas Simmons , Matthew Bradley , Joseph _Hesketh , Anthony Duffy Joseph Wright , William Hargrives , John Swan , Thomas Summers , William Stonehewer , Levi Greenhalgh , Ralph Brooks , John Liddell , Stephen Simpson , and Edward Hadfield ,. each to twelve months ' imprisonment , with hard labour in Chester Ca 3 tle . The business of this Court terminated about four o ' clock .

      Thus has ended this miserable mockery of justice on the part of the Crown . Every uufair advantage —every legal technicality which the cunning of . the Crown counsel could _discov r , have been greedily snatched at by > hcm , in order to convici the unhaopy prisoners . Wo know of nothing in the annals of history , with the _exesption of the " bloody assize" of Judge Jefferies ,. which at all _assimilates to the lata unconstitutional procce ?! ings at Chester .
