( Hear , hear ) * " o waoB acknowledges hating sent it forth : from which it must be inferred , that it dropped from the cloaks ! < Hear , hear . ) Bnt no matter from -what quarter it came , this one thing was certain , that this cefinirioK of a day had not served their cause When the ofivcrs of the great meetings at Kersai Moor , Birmtasrhain , Glasgow , Bristol , < fec ; was before the Government , he was in the knowledge that they were ready to resign their power . And only from the late indication that waa shown of a difference of a opinion among the people , that

      resolution would be adhered in . ( Hear , hear . ) You mn * t , therefore , be aware how important is yoor position . Yon have yonr ceoice of proceedings t > itbfcr ybo may dissolve yourselves and rely on the charity of yonr friends for support , or meet your enemk » maafally and with a bold front . ( Hear , and tJwws . ) I gay it to yon , that for onr canse , as wtll as for every good catue , tliere must be martyrs and who do yon ^ Oafc they will be ? Not the m-niT , straaghdbnttHi , andindependent members . > o ; but the weaM&e timid , the vacillating—these are sure to be the fiat victims of the cause ; therefore , how necessw * it is to be united , to be firm , to be determined in thwr conduct . Will v © n a . oEe put yonr enemies and the enemie * of \ he ^ ^ tke blc $ li : ' ( Hear , and loud cheprs . ) Mr . U Connor jsat down by apologising for the time he had consumed , and begged to propose the re * o uUon .

      Mr . Harxet seconded Mr . O'Connor . HetboBght there would be nothing but good restdt from Bach a meerJD ? . as it would , go far to break down any differs ce of opinion w'hich unhappily might , exiat among tnem , and shew to the world that on all great points they were united as one man . ( Hear . ) Mr . Rsgkiw did not think there was any occasion to anticipate opposition . He had proposed tliat the meetings > houid have commenced at tne Crown and Anchor —( hear)—and he believed the only reason why they did sot take place there was on the ground of the expense . ( Hear . ) Mr . SiEFiNfiTos supported the motion of Mr . O "Connor . Mr . . Rallet would support the proposition , bat protested- -against the idea that this should be the la ? t petition ^ be did not think anT one had a right w say that this l ^ st constitutional right was to be lately surrendered . ( Hear . )

      Mr . Ci-eave agreed with Mr . Halley that it was nor tbeir par : todicUte to their constituents whether or not Vn , ey should petition again . He found a great difference of opinion on tliis subject , and he thought thai- ^ hev-should not enter into the qnerrion . He had ye > rerJ 3 T been a ; a dinner , at which one gentleman recommended renewed and repeated petitions , and was londly cheered by many of the delegat- * . ( Hear , hearj This gentleman , too , was one of those who po . « ser--sM the confidence of the public , and to whom Mr . O'Connor proposed shortly to give a public dinner . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Fiixpex rnaintaint-d that they should deluxe the country with petitions against " the New Poor L-iw —( hear : )—and he did thiuk that they ought not to bin : even at the possibility of giving « p the right of petitioning . The letter from their delegates in Con-. Ta ;] , which was entitled to great respect and consideration , was the very best proof of the ne ^ P 5 * itT there existed fur the delay which had taken place in tke presentation of the National P ^ tirioD . Mr . Sas ^ ey thought thatsomamisapprehension

      prevailed as to what Mr . O'Conner had said . He locked upon his speech , as having the effect of oil thrown uj > on troubled waiers —( bear ;)—aad the proposal he had made as admirably quaiiiied to onite all parties . p . " . \ Vjde said that if no mere than a meeting-for apiarian - ^ a * meant he would agree to it ; bnt if any dictation was meant to ^ be u&ed ha wonid oppose it . ( Hear . ) if it was intended to ^ ive this meeting greater importance than others which had preceded it . or wonid follow it , he woald object to its taking place before the return of the delegates as onjust to th ? counirr . ( Hear . )

      Mr . O'Ces > 0 R then broogbt Kis motion that Mr . Fiel ^ en , Mr . Attwood , Mr . Wakley , and Mr . Dnnccmbe , sbould be invited to a puboc dinner , at an early day . He stdd , that this was , in fact , almost a rider upon his former motion , its object was the ¦ ame or nearly so , namely , to let Members of Parliament hare ' an opportunity of seeing and mixing with the delegates . ( Hear , hear . ) He woald have it at tuch & price thai it would be open to all ; and ail he wanted was , that they would p ledge themselre * & ? delegates to attend , and that it should be done at the expense of th # delegates , and not out of the fund * of the Convention . ( Hear . ) Mr . SANKtry seconded demotion . Some discuwiuu took place as to whether name * 'honld be incited . It was stated that Mr . Dancombe had mzetred at the Charter aad meant to oppas ? it . Mr . OCojiSOE moTed that his name be

      withcruwn . Dr . Mj . cdoi . all moved the previous question . *~ conded by Dr . Taylor . Mr .

A qne > tiou then arose as to which would be the b- > n day for having the meeting , when it was decided to ' . eave it to the Committee .

      Dr . Tavloji then brought forward hi * motion , -tbat thesum of £ 10 be given to Mr Lorett , who had hiiberro acted as secretary . In Mr . Lovett's absecce he would have no hesitation in speaking of him in the very highest terms , a * the moss . prFicientmtfmber o \ the Convention ^— ( Hear . ) He had never knows more arduous dudes better performed —( hear , hear)—for not only the whole of his talents , which were unquestionably great , but bis time , which was equally valuable , had been employed in their service , in a manner which had raised the character of the Convention as a business assembly .

      ( Continued from our third page . ) CROWN COURT . —Monday , March 11 . The Grand Jury having returned a true bill , George Sfket , 27 , and Jbhn Calrert , 25 , were ciiirxed with having , on the 14 th of August last , at Aimondburr , robbed Eli Hob > on , of ten shilling ? - , a memorandum book , and other article ? . Mr . Dbsbas and the Hon . J . S . Wobtley were for the prosecution . Tfce pro * ecator is a clothier , living at Hagg . near Holmfirth , aboot rive miles from Hudder * ti « ld . He generallj attended the Tuesday market , at the laUer p lace , and on the Hth of August ke went there as tistj&I on busdnes * . Jn the eveniDif , about b-aif-past nine o ' clock , he left Huddersfield ' in company with two yopng- men . On hi . < road home ? , and when ther arrived at Lock wood Bar , about a

      mile from Haddersfield , they talked together about ten minutes , and then separated company . The prosecutor went to a beer-hoase . about one hundred yards from the Bar , to see if there was any company to proceed with him homeward .-, but did not succeed . He had not , however , anything to drink at this house . On leaving the beer-house , the prosecutor saw two men , whose appearance he did not like , and on going across a place called Taylor ' s HiH , he saw four men . He bad not gone much farther , when two other men came up to him and knocked him down , and , as the prosecutor described it , were as sadden as-a Sampson . " ( Loud laughter . ) Calvert got upon prosecutor ' s bead and held it . down , and Sykes jomped upon his loins , took his money from his breast pocket , and tore iwo of his bntten * off . Prosecutor had known the

      prwoner * for two or three years by sight , and knew them by their dress . When prosecutor had gone about forty yard * from the plane , be saw four aen riae cp from the side of a vrall , and said to them rtlads , you need ' ntrob me ; I ' ve got robbed ahvady . ' ( Loud laughter . ) The question as to the guilt of the prisoners depended upon the fact whether or not he was right in fixing upon them . William Rttey , Jame * Crowther , George Sugden , and George West , were called to prove the identity of the prisoner ? , and tnat Calvert , shortly before the robbery , called nut l > how , ' which was answered bj the other prisoner , their voices being known . The latter of vhe witnesses , however , would not positively swear to the men , as it was rather dark at the time , although he was not far from their

      psrsons . The prisoners , who were undefended , said in their defence , that they were innocent of the crime , and ; called Mr . George Crowther , a cordwainer , at Lock- 1 wood . Witness stated that the prosecutor sent for j him , aa he was the constable , to take the prisoner '• into custody . Prosecutor said he did not know the 1 jae& till tke lads told him . The prisoners had not then bean apprehended . Prosecnior wished witness j to take them up , bnt he would not , telling the pro- j Senator he had no right to do so , if he knew no ; more about the men than what he was told . A warrant vu obtained , bat not executed till the Mondaj after , the 21 st of August . " After t 2 be Learned Jcdge had summed up , the JJiuy T « tiie 4 , and after being absent from Court "SKrat - ' WCeoty minutes , returned a verdict of Not Gnflij .

      went to Selby market , and returned to Cawood about six- o ' -clock in the evening . Witness called » pon apRi » n named Dawsan , cshoemaker , and a dealer in pigs ; They both went tfc Land ' s public house . Henry- Render and William Smith came into the bouse-about eight o ' clock , aad Turner with his wife a little-after . From six to nine o ' clock witness was trying" to-buy Dawson ' s pSga ; the men were sitting nearhim . Witness severaltimes pulled ont the two soverei gn * , half asomeign , and a crown piece , and offered to gire Dawson the- money for the pig ? , and the men saw him do so . When witness left the house the prisoner was there . Witness was going home ; hia- house is situated aboat three quarters of a mile from . the public-house . As witness was walking along he-met Leaner , thft cnr » tahl « .

      Turner , Smith , and Reader came up to witness in a friendly manner , about 100 yards from the Castle wall ; and on coming to-tbe latter place , Smith held witness ' s arms , whilst Render and Turner took the money sut of hia poelset . Witness » aid , •* -You ' re robbing me ; let me go , you villains , " but they would not . After they had robbed him , Smith ra ^ forward , and the other two-men remained with him . Witness made home at fast h « could , and when begot against his own door the two men absconded . Turner lived at Cawood . Sir G . Lewi . v— - What is he ? Witness—Wnv , he gans aboot gambling and robHDg folks . ( Loud laughter . ) On the qnestion being repeated , " witness said he was "fislier . " Witness observed that on the night in question , "it was as moonKijht as dav . "

      % . Cross-pxamined b y Mr . Cottinoham : Did yoo charge them before a magistrate with rubbing you ? Witness : They gave me the money back again . ( Loud laughttr . ) The question being Tepeated , « itiifss said he went into tneir house one night , and during some conversation as to his , havinff any money left alter the above robbery , he produced a & > note , and they saU " they would lap it . ap , " you know . ( Rears of laughter . ) They ' deceived him of the nore . Witness took them before a magistrate * who adn ? ed them to give it to witness again ; he got it afterwards . Other witnesses being called ,

      J \ lr . Cottinuham addressed the Jury on behalf of the defence . He remarked that , no doubt if the story of the prosecutor was believed , there was a case sufficient to go before the Jury , but he nsW thi'm if they could « nf » ly r * ly on his accuracy , contradicted as he had been by the witnesses . ix& dwelt on the fact that the prisoner had never attempted to flee the country , anJ from a consideration of all tin" circumstances of the case , urged the Jury , if they entertained anj reasonable doubts on their minds , to £ -iv « the prisoner the benefit thereof . The Lt-amed Jvpgc summed up , when the Jury , aftiT a brief consultation , returned a verdict of Not Guiitv .

      -Mr . Lister and Mr . Wasney conducted the projecntion ; the pnsoner was undefended . It appeared r :. m the evidence that the prosecutor is a shop . W | kt at Clayton Heights , near Bradford ; about ui : i- o cWk ou the night of the 10 th of June , he wt-ut to jed as usual , haung seen the doors both of h : s Louse and shop fastened . A short time afterwards , the prosecutor heard a noise about his premises , but being lame frura having had his ribs t-rwken , and having no apprehenMons of darner . r . »

      continued lying m bed , and fell asleep . He was awoke some time afterwards by the falling of what he thought of some copper on the shop floor . He jumped OHt of bed , and just observed a man go out oithedoorof the shop ; he identified that man as i » e priAoner , whom he had known from childhood ud * ho resided but H short disunce from hi * house He 5 eized him before he had proceeded far , snd a stru ^ . e ensued between them , but the prisoner got tiie betu-r , and ran away . He left one i >( hi « shoes , however , api this was identified br a person nam ^ r

      Anatilor , who sail he kad made the shoes for him last H liitsuntide . ^^ The prisoner , in defence , alleged that he was in bed at the tune in question , hut off-red no evidence to show the probability of such a ftatenient .
