      IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE COUN-^ Vi ^ POLITICAL UNION OF Ob Tuesday evening last , the most important ^ itgag aad one which hm » created aore interest 4 * 1 ? we ever recollect to have witnessed , ni hela at fSe ^ Pnblic Office , for the purpose of hearing nnii dacuMuig the resolution which Mr . F ^ argos O'Coniro b * d uroini » ed to t-ubmit ior their coondaeruioD . From an early period the room was crowded to sufjbcati on ; and at half-past seven , a * Mr . Feargo * O'Connor proceeded to the place of meeting , the street and every approach to the building was deniely ocCDpied by those anxious to hear the re * nlt » . A * soon s * Mr . O'Connor , who was accompanied by Mr . Collins , one or the council , wag recognised by the people , the rtreeu and building echoed-with

      long and enthusiastic cheering , ' which being ebmmmucttedto thow within , surpassed anj thing of thekin 4 we ever « it&e * M * L When Mr . OCouuor eatved die room the whole meeting rose and clawed and cheered—and cheered again ; and aftlf a short pause , and in order to mark th » ir ttttnibation of taa coarse panned ao'd the renniou iSljiiilii ill Hi n Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Salt , Amu hearty checra were proposed and tu > heartily g ives jfer M r . Salt- Alter some prelunimmr observaaani , which it wag almost impossible to collect , and which were rather connected with the btuinesf of theCoandl than vith the question in which the people took * o lively an interest , , "

      Mr . £ dmo 5 Ds rose to propose that George Frederick Momz , Esquire , do take the chair .- ( Here , the cheers and cne » of adjourn Irom without became * o loud and general , that it wa * impossible to m * nrtf * hearing lor anyspeakvr . - Mr . G . F . Mvstx begged 10 decline taking the chair oq that occasion . He bad lately had a serious Qlne ** , occasioned b y a fall , coiwequeutiy il he-were appointed to the chair he might nut be able to coutmoe during Jhe meeting , audit was probable that , in the coarse of the evening , he might be called uu to malar word * relative to the subject before them , which , iurmed another reason wijy he would wish sot to take the cuair . '

      Mr . cDxoKns then moved that Mr . Hadtey do take the chair , which wax agreed to unanimous ! j . Mr . Edmoads ibt-n j-ai . l , as he thought the present nbject wa » one of great importance , it should be proceeded in with g teat care and order . U e did not now whether the two gentlemen , Mr . Salt ai . d Mr . O'Connor , had any explanation to give , but he should like a resolution to be pat before tue meeting , and he should wish lor : hat resolution to decide- the difieren . ee dt-nned , aud then to kt each party lake his true coarse in dvlending it He did not kuuw whether

      « ey disagreed at prej-eni , as to the intention of the partien . If the t * o Gentlemen did differ , he should , as he believed the subject ol so importaut a nature , wish it tu be reduced to a proposition ; ~ bat il what liad already been raid on in * subject of ph \* ical ftffce , meant no more than the right of the vVople ioassett that iorce , he thought tue two gentteuirn sd f ht agree . If it meant tLat a . day was to be BXed—that a day of the month was intended to be Jiamed—he should like ir to be put to the wue , either ibrits adoption or rejection . ' -.- " -

      Mr . Had let said , he entirely concurred in 4 ht view takm of U » at question by l » is fr-. eud Mr . Edmonds , but ior othrr reasons ] , he thought it would bring the subject in a more tangible shape , il it were to be » iated . tie wished either Mr . UL ' ounor , ur Mr . Salt to sobudt a resolution if they had pup . ¦ . s .. . After a mutual and satisfactory explanation and assurances of confidence and trniou between Mr . Feargn * O'Connor and Mr . Salt , aud which Htnnud to rive the greatest satisfaction to the

      meeting—, Mr . O'Coxsor rose and was received with ieafenmrand long continued applause . He said , Sir , —1 iookapon you as a rightful judge , constitutionally ap-KBSted to the bench ; and on you , men of Birxuing-MTn , a » a puiiblitu tkmal jury , properlyempannelled to terthepi ^ iples of liberty . ( Hear , hear . ) 1 trust 1 juaucoaiwui to the advice previously given , by the gentleman who occupies the chair , when he recomjnesded that no extraneoorBiatter-shonld be in troffnnad ' that nothing should be advanced calculated to wound t % > feeling , of any man . ( Hear , hear . ) In 4 he first instance then give me leave to tell you , that myself and Mr . Salt have anticipated a port . ou of that advice . On my arrival in Birmingham

      to-day Mr . Salt ' s hoase was the first to winch 1 vent j- —{ great cheering ;>—there we met as friends , and there shook bunas over all our differences * ( Cheers . ) For the rest , it is not my intention to mention Mr . Salt ' s name during the proceedings of this evening . 1 look upon Mr . Salt and myseii , as two fictions in the law las J ohn Doe and Richard RoeO whom yon are to judge , and the right pi whose principles is to be discussed and Hied , and you will deserve-lly hold ice unworthy oi your confidence if 1 shrink frum the investigation of the question which has been brought forward . ( Cheers . J 1 am rather ^ ispoard to ibis courxe in consequence of an obsenatkm made in the Birmingham Journal of last werk . it u there said , that 1 ought to be satisfied withspeecu

Yon are aware that , a . tuated as l am , the whole oi the public prew will * da on every Ihing that throws a reproach on me—at the * ame rime that it refuses me a- jdn Lcolumn lot my deleno , and that the Birmbigham Journal containing the charge was mc-st sedulously and extm . ivrl / circulated and sent to the several Radical associations throughout the country , and a proof of its effect 1 hold in my liand and . will give job bam . a Leeds newspaper , taken as it professes from the Jiiruthtgham .

In the opinion of thxxe saitlemen , the results of tnat Becret system « f arming would be continnal outrage . and fieqaentasgassinsuion—then , but not till then , did they say ; "Arm openly . The Constitution gives yon the right t * do so . ( Cheers . ) Therefore procure arms ,, hang them over your mantel pieces , and let Lord John Russell « -e them , and what he reiuses to yoor peooony far will yield to your arms .

      therefore agreed to adjonrn antil Monday next , Mr . Salt having undertaken to procure the Town Hall on that day . Mr . Salt rose and said , ne coula not be certain that the Hall could be obtained on Monday , bat be would make arrangement * for oblfdnine the Hall ior Mr . O'Connor early next week , of which public announcement should be giren . Mr . O'Cossob then slid—Gentlemen , in order that yoa may have proper time to consider the resolution that 1 intend to offer , I shall now read it , for the purpose of ji \ ing ( joa a knowledge of it * principles , and in order to give any gentleman who chooses an opportunity of remarking upon it . Mr . O'Coxmob then read the following resolution : — Resolved , —** That the constitution of England S ^ n ^^^ Ar ^^*^^^

      guarantees to every free citizen the right to pob » e * s arms , —that the laws impose upon every citisrn the duty of bearing arm * , and that reason sad jodgmeut can alone determine for what purpose such right has bren guaranteed , and such duty imposed , when vto be exercised , and how used . —That the Constitution is a spirit inherent in the best digested resolve of an existing generation , based in its actions and workiugx upon the following motto—Xullivendemus , nullt negabitiui aul dtftremuijustitiam vet rectum ^ and conveyed in old expressions and familiar maxims such as '' The king cau 4 o no wrong , " by which we infer that he mnat obey the spirit or the Constitnuon , and not that he can throw off responsibility and saddle it upon adviser

      who have become irresponsible again . "The king nerer die * , " by which is meant that thoagh the monarch perisheth , yet does the Constitution , of which he waa but the repreyeutatire , live through all ag «» s . Again— That the peoplo are the legitimate suurce of all power , " fuch we recognise m the spirit of the constitiinon , while , in its Vgal interpretation , we fiud liberty protected by the Habeas Corpus Act , by which is meant—That man when accu * ed should have a speedy trial by a jury of his Peers ; and as regiuds property * that he shall not be taxed except with his offn , or his represeutatiw ' s consent in Parliament . That the Constitution baw bren violated in spirit , and that the laws have been turned into instruments of oppre » isiou—That every

      Mouarcb , from thevseventh year of the reign ol Henrj- th « 6 th , to tbft reign of Henry the 8 th ; aud from that period to tbeilerolution of lbSS , from then to the revolutionary Rrfoim Bill , aud from that rime to the present , has openly and « ystema-Tically violated the Cobstitutiou of this country , as well by the elevation of political partisan * to the * tate _ and dignity of reprenenta ; ive Peers , as hy th »« appointment orS p iritaal Peers to tue discbatyt oi political duties , thereby destroying ihe controuling power which one branch of the legislature was designed to hold and exercise between the ' extrava-^ ant dem ands of the people upon the one hand , and the usurpation of the Mouarch upon tue other . — Tuat while we would most sincerely deplore

      conlUBion and cml war , and while we would have much wrong jmd great oppression before we would eitiier justifv in othere , or have recourse ourselves to arms , yet do we wcoguise in the Constitution the right t'j possess and to u « e arms ; aud , tlierefure , w « justify the recommendation of those penmns who have counselled the people to arm opeuly , which recommendxtion w »* sincerely beheve to fiave been given to prevt-ut the bad e&Vct of secret arming , which must ever lead to assa&diiation and outrage , coustqnent up *> B so cowardly aud uncouslituiioual a pracrjet * . In conclu . -ion , that we have entire coufidence in Feargns O'Conuor ; aud that we have ietermined , should the alternative be necessary , to die freemen rather than longer live slaves . "

      This i * the resolution which . 1 intend to oSeT to you , and I shill seek some man with a fustian jacket , with bartered hand * , . and with unsbaved cliiii , to propose it for me—1 shall not propose it myself . During the above speech , the spt-aker was repeatedly interrupted , and the proceeditifjs stopped by tbe cheers and * houts for adjoummeut , aud -O'Connor for * ve . - " — "Stick to it " - ^ ^ We ' ll have the day "—which proceeded from the people outside . Mr . Douglas said , he scarcely intpnrted to say a word . The meeting was to be adjourned to the Town Hall . At thai meeting he iutende 1 to move

      a short amendment to the resolution of Mr . O'Counor , and he would stand or tall by the merit * of tlin amendment which he intended to offer . He would read it . It was to the t-fiect— "That the Political Union «» xpref « sly , and iu the strongest t « ims , coudemn all exhortations to p hysical force , for the purpose of procuring the objects' embraced iu the National Petition , or which are : calculated to cause a b : ench of their motto , * Peace , law , and order * ; and they condemn the fixing ol" a dny when the civil rights of the people are to cease . "

      Mr . Edmonds ro ^ e to xpeak to some observations made by Jklr . O'Connor , who had stated that he , Mr . EujnondA , had made only this difference betw «> en him and Mr . Salt , thai he fixed one time , and that Mr . Salt had fixed anotht-r . If either ol them Jixed a time , they were traitors . ( Chrers . ) Let Mr . O'Connor take the people , he cared notthe prople would never be led to a halter by him . He ( Mr . Edmonds ) would not ftive thfin into the enemies' hand * , where they would be led as » heep to the slaughter . ( Cheers . ) He hoped he was clearly understood that what he disapproved ol was tu « fixing of a time for the commencement of physical force . What would rney thiuk if he attempted to fix a period to the suffering !) of lh « people .

      Air , Salt rose to order . Mr . Edmonds was not in the present case merely offering an explanation , ae was referring to a speech of Mr . O'Conuor , the consideratien of which ought to be left to a future day , ( Cheer . - ' . ) He would , before he sat down , state that the reason he was not here last Tuesd . iy , was his being in London . He would also observe , that the personal intercourse between himself and Air . O'Connor had been of themost . friendly , character , and had , on his pR . -t , been sincerflv returned . ( Cheers . ) He had no objection apaiust Mr . OXouuor personally . ( Cheer < . ) He took up the subject becati 8 e he thought the interests of the Union were concerned , and for that iutere . « t he would quarrel with bis dearest relatives—for that interest he would meet Mr . O'Connor j and he hoped , that meeting would be conducted without any hostile feeliug either ou the part of himself , or that gentleman . ( Cheers . ) He trusted none of th * m would make it

      a personal affair , except so far as their own interests were coacerned .. He did not wish that they should be attached to himself because he had been an old and true , and faithful friend in the cau . w . Neittier di'l he wun them to attach themselves to Mr . O'Connor , because he had distinguished himselt by his activity and vigilauce on their behalf . { Cheers . ) Let the people watch them both—if either w-nt astrav , let him be condemned , for now the battle was to be fought in earnest . Let them consider their own welfare , and tbe welfare of their wives and families . ( Cheers . ) Let them remember that b y the adoption of the course proposed , they wonld either be lilted up , or be caat immeasurably lower than they were at present . They must come To the deliberauoa with calmness , and guHrd against being led away by passion . It was the-Welfare of the cause alone to which he looked , and with thai feelrag he did not care whether they condemned biin or Mr . O'Connor . ( Cheere . )

      Mr . 0 'CosNoa . ^ Alen of Birmingham , —I trusr that enough has been said to con \ iuce you that no angry feeling exists between myself and Mr . Salt . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) You will bear in mind that if 1 have misreuresented or misunderstood Mr . Edmonds ' s speech , there are reporters who will do him justice ; here 1 thought 1 waa riijht . Bnt . mark . JVlr . ' Edmonds was-replying .-to a proposition of mine , which 1 . withdrew-at . the request o : Mr . Collins last week . He said I should leave the

      subject of force , ( which 1 never once mentioned , ) ( cheers )—in the hands of the Convention . What 1 said was , that 1 -would leave the naming of the time till the Convention met . ( Cheers . ) Bat let lVlr . Edmonds designate the man who fixes a period for the attaining of Universal Soffragev by moral power , au enthusiast or traitor —( No , no , from Mr . Edmonds , and eheere ) -I now tell you , that my first act in the ^ National Convention shall be , to name a day when Universal Snffrage shaJ be the base of the Constitution . ( Continued cheering . )

      Mr . Douglas than said , the business of the meeting was finished . He took the liberty of offering the thanks of the meeting to Mr . Hadley for bis conduct in the chair , who , he hoped , would have a longer sitting the next time they met . Mr . Douglas then moved that the Council do adjourn . _ The resolution having been carried unanimously , the Council adjourned until that day week . Mr . P . H . Mumtz was then unanimously called to the chair , when Mr . O'Cokkok again presented himself , and was loudlv cheered , and said , now , working men of Birmingham , that the business ot the Council has been adjourned , it may not be untimel y or out of place in me to give you an account of our proceedings yesterday at Leicester , and al-o a brief statement oi the progress of our caose . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . O'Connor tbep gave a very animated and eucunrag . ' ing account-of the heartiness and union of the men

      of Leicester , and . went at considerable length into tbe consideration- of -the present position of the Radicals . He them addressed' himself more particularly to ihe men of Birmingham i he said , we have been taugnt to look up to you bug to your Council for the " accomplishment of Universal Suffrage . In the North , > e say , that if the men of Birmiugham were strong enough to carry the Reform-Bill , that , having ^ the same strength now , and being led by the « ime Council , they are able to enrry Universal baffrage . { Great- cheering . ) We * Ry that you are either the weak flank and the tools of the Whigs , or that you do not attach the same importance to Uffiwaal Soffrage as yoa did to the ReiormBilJ .

" ( Laughter . ) Now , this smells very like physical force , and is going mach farther than I have ever gone . . ( Bear , bear . ) Have I not always told yon that the man who created civil war wonld be the first to desert th » people ? ( Cheers . ) Have I not told you that if every man worked as I hav- » done , that you would have moral force enough and some to spare ? ( Hear . ) Mr . O'Connor stated that a constitution ahonld vary with existing opinions , and instanced that the alterations made , by th ^ railroads would reduce nineteen in every twentv of their towns from the importance of a town to the insignificance of a village —( cheers ) and then the publicans and sinners would call for a railroad constitution .

" Look , therefore , to Universal Suffrage hs a thing worth living for , and worth dying fvr ; but 1 am growing physicall y weak , and shall therefore conclude . ( Laughter and loud cheers . ) . Mr . P . H . Muntz rose , and was loudly cheered . He said he did not intend to make a long speech : « e-wished to put a few questions to Mr . O'Connor , which he thoaahtU would be more proper to do here than in the 'lowu HtUl . The first question was , whether the reports of the great public meetings ill the XorMerniitarwere usually correct ?

      , . ^ Mr . O CossoR said that he believed they were ; that his instructions were , to exclude matters of minor importance , in order to give full scope to the meetings of the people . ( Cheers . ) - Mr . Muntz : Then , Mr . O'Connor will perhaps answer me whether or not a speech , reported as uanng been delivered by Mr . Stephens at the Wigau nieenug , U corre ; t ; and whether or ho he ( Mr . O Connor ) coincides in the sentiments expressed by that gentleman ? ¦ ¦ Mr . O'Connor : Sir , I am here upon my own trial —( near , hear , and cheers )—and 1 am prepared with

      my own defence ; but 1 nm not to be supposed to be prepared to meet charges which may be brougnt against others , and of which charges 1 was hot coguizan t . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) I ueyer read the speech of M r . Stephens , alluded to , nor had 1 'tiine , therefore I am not , at the spur of the moment , to be called upon to answer for theVeutimeuta of others—^ ( hear , hear ;) but ii you ask me whether or not lcoiucide in principle with Mr . Stephens , the auswer is , Aye , and sooner than dtsert him , may I btfeome lbod for maggots generated by the decomposition of Whig and lory tyrant * . ( Loud and lohg-coutinued cheenug ) . . ¦ ¦ ¦ - ' ; .. ¦ ¦ ¦

      Mr Muntz : Then I will read extracts from the speech , and allow the men of Birmiugham , who have been designated as oli womeu , to ueal with it as they think proper . ( Cries of ' Readit all . ") Mr . Douglas : It would take an hour . ( Cries of ' * 1 ben don ' t read any . ") . i Mr . O ' Coxxoa : 1 ohject to a portion of thespeech being read , which in itself may be obje . ctioua . blt-, and wnich may be explained by reading the entire . ( Cheers . ) It is a mnxiiniu law that il ' one sentence ,

      ol a letter be read , the whole should be read —( hear , hear );—but if you wish to try Mr . Stephens , vou can have his body by a writ ol Jutbeas corpus—( lau ' ghter)—by return ot ' post ; for I piejge myself that he will not shriuk from his o >* u delenee . ( Cheers . ^ [ Hereascene ofgreat confusion occurred , some call-» : g for the . whol « xpeech , some declining Vto hear any , and a few calling for the extracts . .-Ultimately ; a large portion of the speech was- read , which , was received with mingled cries of 'Suaiue" and "He ' s right , " !

      Mr . Douglas rose amidst great confusion , and reminded the men of Birmingham of the Beveral battles ibey had fought together , aud was sorry to find that that night they had hissed Mr . Muutz , one of their oldest aud best iriends . Mr . O'Connoii ; 1 deny it : no man hissed Mr ; Muutz . Mr . Douglas : Oh yes ; they did . Mr . O ' Connob : Then three hwarty cheers for Mr . Muutz —( whicU were accordingly responded to b y the whole : meeting cheeriug and waving their hats . )

      Mr . G . F . Mt'NTZ then mounted the table , and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering , which lasted lor several miuutes . He said ' that though long absent , his heart and soiil had ever been with the men of Biruniujjham —( cheern ) ;—and he believed that absence but tended to increasi * his atr « fction , lor while at a distance , he had more leisure to reflect upon their wrongs , and to deliberate upon the T » anly txenious they had made for their deliverance . ( Lheers . ) He was yetliappy to believe trom all that he had heard that nighu that no disunion would exist amongst the friends of the people . ( Hear , hear ,. aud cheers . ) He ¦ regretted that circumsuuees would compel him to be ubseut upon Ihat night week ; bui , neverthelesshe cherished the

      , fontl hope that the men of Bumiugham would that night rvojliect that the eyes of the whole world would be upon them , and much would depend npon their decision . ( Cireat cheering . ) There was no man of the present day who was not too well versed in the history of his country , to be longer doped as to his rights . ( Hear , hear . ) Where was the man who would deny the people ' s right tohave arms , and to use them , if necessary ? ( Loug-coutinued cheeriug . ) The ouly question with all should now be , how each , in his individual capacity , can best serve the people ' s cause ? ( Cheers . ) If one man say * , Oh , tuere is enough to do it without me ;" aud if another says tue same , then , will the duty be

      never penornud— ( cheers ) ;—but if every mau says , *• Upon me , aud upon me alone , has devolved me means of accomplisuing Universal Sullrage , " then , but not till then , will Universal Sutfrage be nccumphshed . ( Loud c . eers , aud ' ' That ' s it . "; Mr . AJ uutz then entered into au interesting detail Of the continuous aud systematic persecution to which he haa been subjected , and which he said it was impossible to unravel and disclose in detail ; but , ueverthi-less , in fitting time , and at the conclusion , he would unmask the conspirators who had hatched the plot . ( Loud and loug-couliuued cheeriug . ) Mr . Muntz then renewed his political engagements with his old companions , audsat down umidst unanimous cheering and clapping of hands .

      ivlr . DoDaLAS requested that the me-n of the Union would , according to one good old custom , marshal themselves and walk loor deep , hand in hand through the bull ring . The suggestion was instantly complied with and Communicated toi the masses outMde , who loimed iu procession , both men and women , seizing hold of Al :.

It was understood that thUohange of plan took place in consequence of hostile inovements on the American rontier or the Canadas , and was concerted between Lord Durham ^ and Sir J .

      state of affairs in ; the coldny . The hostile % roceed mg 8 on the American frontier , of whioh format notice had been given b y the American Government both i w S > r J ° hn Colbbrne and Lord Dnrham , consists of a rery extensive conspiracy , comprising large numbers of persona pos . * essed of cousiderable ^ und ^ tor the invasion of the Canadas early in the Winter ' The information conveyed ^^ froni ^^ Washington was < : onfirmed by aeeounti from all quarters of the frontier . Sir John Cblborne had been to Quebec to concert precautionary measures with Lord Durham The men-of-war in the river had been dispatched to ' JNovia Scotia lor all the disposable troops in that colony and New Brunswick .

      It was uoderstood that Sir John Colborne would call out th <{ volunteers immediatel y , and proclaim martial law , upon the first indication of any disposition to disturb the public peace . He had informed several of the supernumerary gtaffoffieer 8 sent Out last spring , who were about to return to England , that their Services would be required , and had proceeded to Quebec for the purp j » e of organ-sing and placing on the most effective looting , the whole force ; at bin disposaU Thirty thousand stand of arms from Edgland were daily expected ar Quebee .

      bir Creorge Artbur had aL < 6 been to Quebec to consult with Lord Durham and Sir John Colborne , nnd had . returned in haste to Upper Canada .

      PRESTON . DttBADf TJL MuRDER . — - ^ 0 n Monday evening last , a shocking and cruel murder was committed on the body of Michael Donaghue , at gangsman ; or contractor for small cuttings , employed on the North Union Railway . The scene ! of the tragedy tis a miserable dwelling , in Buckingham ^ tree ^ in this town , —a neighbourhood much populated by Irish labourers ; ' and where rows are of aujch frequent occurrence , that very little notice is taken of them by the more peaceable part of the nei ghbours . The following epitome of th . ; evidence , given before the coroner and jury on Tuesday , wiu be sufficient to convey an idea of the principal facts that have yet transpired : ^—John Riley , an intelligent looking IriHhman , stated that he worked tor- the deceased and that on Monday afternoon last , the deceased

      received £ 6 17 i ., all m siJver , at Penwortham , for the purpose of paying wage ? . The deceased , ac , mompauied by witness and a number of oiher Irish labourers , went into the Bay Horse , in Penwortham where deceased paid four of his labourers their wages . Atftrr remaining a « hort time there , witnesn deceased , and nix or seven other labourers j ( among 8 E whom were Patrick and Michael Lockey , ) all in deceased ' s employ , came to Preston a little before 7 or 8 o ' clock . They went to the house ot Jaines Lackey , in Buckingham-street , where deceased and some of the labourers lodged . They found James Lackey and his wife Julia in the house . Julia Lackey had supplied some of deceased ' ? workmen with provisions troth a shop in the neighbourhood Deceased , haying promised to spb her paid , requeued her to go , and get a bill from the shoo , in order that he might settle with her before h / nain

      the men their wages . She shortly after returned with a bill , but deceased refused to pay her by that billj there being pb dates when the provisions ^ were got ; he also conside red the bill an imposition . This caused some angry words between James Lackey and his wife , and the deceased ; in the course of ^ hieh both Lackey and his wife used violent threats against deceased , and said that if he did not pay them by that b-l | , thny would kick it out of him , or '' kick the head of him off . " Deceased told the husband that he thought he could not kick him so much ; wheu the husband replied , that if he could not do it , he would get Home one that could , and ordered his brother ( Patrick Lackey ) to go and " fetch some of the hoys , ?'—for which purpose Patrick went out . The witness ( Riley ) fearing something strious would-be the coHsequence , sent two of the labourers

      WnO Dad . aOY * i * lfniiJiniMi 1 rhum frnm !!)««— . *_* . ! : _ ' . who had accompanied them from Penwortham to tetch the police . About this time , the female went out , and returned in about ten minutes with another bill , which she gave to deceased . This bill , which was produced at the iuquest , had not the same of the shopkeeper , or the dates , —it had merely the rotal amount which she demanded from deceased . The deceased refused also to pay her by that bill telling h « r that he must haye the dates and particulars . About this time , Pat Lackey , ( as be was termed ) returned , bringing with him about a dWn Iiirfhmea ; none of whpm were known to witDess by name . Two potieemen entered the houseabput this time . James Lackey said , they were not wanted there , and they could settle without their inter * ference . All appearing quiet , the constabies left the house . Tb » witness ( Riley ) followed them to the

      door , to speak to thein , when some one in the house shut the door after him , and he heard them lock it The constables told him that they would remain in the . neighbourhood , to be in readiness if they were wanted . Riley soon after returned to the house , and tried the door , but found it fast After shaking it a little , James Lackey called out , " Who ' s thee P" Witness replied , John Riley . Lackey told him to go to h—1 , and used other coarse langaage . Witness loitered 'about the door , and he heard deceased repeatedly cry out , " Merer , mercv I" and ¦

      ( hee that ! see that ! " This was about eight o clock . Riley was afraid to remain near the house , and went into the next street to look for the police , and from which he couldi ? ee the back door of Lackey ' s house . After standing there a while be saw the whole of the Irishmen together , with James Lackey and his wife , and Patrick and Michael Lackey . He took notice of Michael Lackey , because he was without his hat . [ Two hats-were , here produced , which were found in the house , and the witness recognised them as beloneihz ¦

      toratnek and Michael Lackey . ] Witness , being afraid of being seen b y any of the men who were leaving the bouse , returned to his lodgings , and sent a person to . inquire after deceased ^ who SOO n alter returned , and told witness that deceased was lying in the house , murdered . Witness then returned to the house , where he found , the police , and poor Donaghue was lying in his bliod , in one corner of tbe house , quite dead , and the whole of his money taken . The Coroner and Jury questiontd the witness very severely as to whether he saw ' any one strike deceased , or if he knew the names of any of the labourers who entered the bouse with Patrick Lackey , to both of which questions he replied in the negative . The above facts were Corroborated by four other witnesses , ( ill of whom wem om .

      ployed by deceased , and had accompanied him from Penwortham , ) -but all of them left the house before the deceased was struck ; two of them swore to Michael Lackey having : his coat off to fight with deceased , previous to their leaving tbe house ; : and as the last of them was shutting the back door , heheard deceased cry "Murder !* ' butdurat ' not return . The whole . bf the witnesses said that they did not know any of ithe men who came with Patrick Lackey , but it is supposed they are labourers on the Lancaster Railway . The three Lackeys and the female , as well as all the men decamped the ' same evening , and have not since been heard of . The

      inquest was adjourned until Monday next , when the judicial gentlemen who have made a post mortem examination of the body , will give thtir evidence . The deceased was much bruised about ; the head , and there was one wound on the left side of the head ahout an inch long , which it is supposed had been inflicted by a stab fromi a knife . A reward of £ 25 has beenoffered for the apprehension of the guilty uartie < j .
