      MORE PERJURIES ; MOItE ARRESTS ; MORE FOLLY ; MORE SACKS UPOS THE MILL . Or& paper , of the present week , -preseuts a frightful picture of tbe follj and villany of oar mad rulers and their executive tooli . The systematic persecution of tht Radicals must T ^ e met by * plan of defence equally sjetemxnc "We » ope tbf time ii sot far distant when we sbj be able to congratulate ourselve * attd crarbelovtdceuntry on the operation of principle * which shall render tie

      perpetration cf these villanies impossible ;• . bat , in the mean time , we must be looking for each means f defence as ire ia oar power ; and tbe first of &e * e muit Ve to meet tbe injustice of tbe law by a aational fund for tbe defence of every one of oar friend * . Tbe maliciems Mlewing up of tbe persecution of Frost , bj those who removed him from the Magistracy from tbe dread of bis love of jo » tioe , unst not be lost sight of ; while , * s we ree » gni * e to distinction of per * o »* in our holy cause , -we mu * t embody all is one general corps , and equally * defend tke poer Browns and tb « wealthy Tbcst .

      It is * cajcelj necwary to direct attention to tbe raill chance of anything like fair treatment which ladical . o have from a Bench of Magistrate * , by pointing to the course pursued in M'Douall ' s cost ? , -sriio was required to drag out his wordp , in flow and measured precision , to rait a petty sessions' amannenjss , and perhaps to pause for correction of error * . Uader » a « h circumstances , presence of mind i « above all thing * necessary , and we cannot too xiuch laud Mr . Cobbett for bis judicious conduct , in not putting one question , incross-esaminarion , to men who eould rot swear tbe truth without iojsrj to their interest .

      "We trust that these repeated outrages of perwnal liberty will impress upon those of the Contention , who may not be in gaol on tb « first of Ju ' y , tbe imperative necessity of being , on thit day , prestin to a msn for the discharge of their duties ' " to tbe people ; one cf the first of which , we think , should "be to resolve themselves into a committee ef public safety , with a ri « w to tie c&rryiag out of one of our dearest principle *—that when one of the community is oppressed tbe whole community ii oppressed .

      "We doa ' t believe one word of the evidence again :-: M'Docall .

We will not , however , much longer remain in this position . w Thers is no courage in continually standing to re-^ > : ve the assaults of a weak and cowardly enemy .

      THE BALLOT . Ties masquerade for 1839 is to come eff on Tuesday next , axd , as we write for a virtuous , an indosttioas , ,. nd an hone * t majority , and against a ticieu * , an idle , and a knavish minority , it will be cur duty to take tare that our readers are neither entrapped cor deceived by tbe disguise in which the principal characters shall appear . In tbe winter of 1 S 3 S , we exposed the trick of the Bailfft aJ « Bo « t single-handed and aicae , having only the siiusort of our consistentour braveand talented

      , , contemporary , the 2 ^ orihrrn Liberator . "NYe then told oar readers , acd our ht&rfcr * , that tbe-BtlliL , without T . ~ » iver ? al Suffrage , was the ladle witiour the s « up , atd the sword withont the » ca . lbard . "We told ihem then , as we tell them now , that the Ballot , Tvith ibe present Suffrage , would be as-individual protection agaicn & general right ofserutinv , while the Ballot , with Universal Suffrage , wculd W a r ? aera . l protection against individual interference with the exerebe of a right .

      As it appear ? , however , that the annual farce is to re-enacted on Tuej-day , we take up all the argument * which haTe beea adduced in favocr of the measure , and before we lay down our pen , we wilLrend every thread of deception ' s cloak—we will extinguish every glimmer of the dark-lantern light —» t will break every feature of the grim viage ef hjpr > - erisy , and expo * e the nakedness of tie cheat-Tat London Journals of the two parties handle f ~ i * subject accordicg to their respective interes : r Those in Tory emnlov declaring-that the nractict

Our reply to the Tory Journalists is , that it is un-English , and hence its applicability to un-English voters—to un-Ecglisb RepresentatiTet , who break dowgi the English Con ^ Qtetion by un-English st&tnte law , for the purpose of starving the English people , coercing the English mind , and debasing tbe English nation . Our reply to tke Whig Journalist * is , that we

      tbarge their friends , not upon thtir acts of omission , which might have originated fro 31 want of a majority , hut upon their acts of eommissi « B whieb must Have riginated in hostility t » English libtrty .

      liberty of tb « w )» j «? ct . "What , then , stay w » a » t expect from them if backed by to large a a » j » rity aa tke Ballot is expvetod to yield ? The posiooB of a political cazaasaity Tery aneh resemble * that of a religions community . At first disabilities arc complained of , and toleration is ought ; next equality , and tbea aectndaiey , which is ever applied to th « establishment of tyranny . We can hire no lore for large majoriti «« is a Haase of Represe&t&d-ven , when we reflect ap « n tbe

      many misciiieC * which those majorities were capable of effecting thr ough the reign * of Georob III . and GtOEGElV . ; and , judging man from bis natural propensitie * , we bare no hesitation in asserting , that as large mnjoritiet in tke reign of Victoria would have an equally pernicious tendency . There is furthermore , this striking difference—the minorities in the former rtigsu consisted of loud declaimers against abuse , and brawler * for liberty , while tbe minorities of the present reign consUt « f sticklers for old abuse .

      What , we would ask nor readers , is tbe object of bringing forward this question just how ? I < it with the hope of carrying it ? or , is it not with a view of creating an electioneering current in which the Whi g * may successfully angle ? and that which to them would k * e a baoyant float , would to the questioB of Universal Suffrage be a finking lead . Mr . Grots , who is put forward as the prime moTer of the Ballot , we altogether acquit « f any dishonest design . He is a man of honour , a gentleman , homo fadut ad ungnem—but be is made the dupe of O'Coxnell , Hume , Whbdstok , and Ward , in ordtr that for another Mason they may bold a fictitious jopulariry .

      Hanng said «> much , let us now consider what the Ballot would be likely to effect . The Ballot would affect tenure in thip country precitelr in the came degree as Household Suffrage wonld affect it . Property is now held by political tenure , for which the holder is himiilf answerable ; but injAtnuch as ro security for votiDg would then follow the po « vession , § 0 would tenure b « limited to a like uncertainty ? Tbe Ballot , s « far from extending th « franchise , would curtail it , inasmuch a « preperty Wing tbe standard , the ownert of property would take care not to arm a marked battery against themselves . In fact , the Ballat would so construct the electoral bodv a « to make Members of tbe

      House of Common } , like those » f tie Hou . e of Lords , only responsible to God and their own consciences . Let us suppose a committee of twelve tradesmen voting by Ballot as to the admission ef others who should have an eq'ial Tight with tbem-¦* z \ re * in the disposal of places and property , and ¦ sviU tor min tell us that they , fluder tke cloak ef die Ballot , would be for diminishing tbeir own power by extecding it to others ? No ! Aud hence tbe deceit . Oace pass the B * llot , and no more scruiQy icto tbe acts of vour trustees

      no nore deference by the trustee to popular opinion ! The maaked elector would declaim against the act of his representative , in order to court popular faroar , wkile he would repeat hL ? own act to enrb popular right , and limit representation to his own order . Ton will have the extenuioB of the franchise advocated by the junto , while as * n electoral body they will deny your right of interference . Instead of thus meeting an cpen enemy , toq wiii have to contend against a perfidious friend .

      The Ballot would divide the eommaniry into two sections ; to the one would belorg the possessors of lauded and r « -al property , endeavouring to legislate for their own order ; while to toe other would belong tbe samblers in labour upun fictitious capital , and to both of whom the inttrtst of the product r vroald be diametrically opyiosed , and by both of whom it would be consequently neglected and destroyed . Tbs Ballot after all is but a means to an end : the

      professed end being to insure large majorities , for the pnrjKjse , as we are informed , of enforcing Whig principle * . What those principles are , we hare already shown , and let us cow examine in how far the means would secure the success of what our parliamentary ehampiono call " practical reform and redrew of grieratces . " They test themselves by tbeir rapport of three great measure * , namely Repeal of the Core Laws , Extension of tbe Suffrage , ( some to Household

      Stiff-age ) and Reform of Church Abuses . If then the means are not likely , aj we shall show they are not , to accomplish the objects for which they are required , who will vote for tbe Ballot ? Upon the qcotion of tbe Corn Laws , the pjwer of the landlord over tbe voter now gives some agricahural countenaEce to that measure . Tbe landlord , if Whig , may be favoHra '? le , and , if favourable , may coerce the tenant to vote for a repeai candidate ; butocce give the tenanr , who » e bargaiu has been msuie upon the faith of Corn

      Law ? , tee ma-k of the Ba'lot , and with him , all other w > B * iderarions being laid a « id * , the only one will be , -wi . 1 yon vote for a repe&l of the Corn Lawn ? la fact , no candidate would , after one experiment , evtr offer eirai'eif to an agruolrural consritaencv who was not prepared io my he would vote sgain < t the repeal of lhe Corn Law ? ; while the maaufactariag interest , so far from increasing their strength

      apon the question of Corn Law rep * al , would considerably diminish it , by diminishing the number of tbeir gupporttrs . Tbe landlords have a large nhare of the voting property in boroughs , every atom of which they would , eren with the Ballot , coDtr ive to mankal against a repeal of the Corn Laws , while the agitation of the ubrepresented would rise to a fearful htight against a measure which

      required secrecy for iu accomplishment . We now oppose the enemy openly , but once mask thtm ajjaiust uf , and we , too , will match them with a disguise as formidable . If secrecy be oecesaary for the few , we stmli Foon fifld that secret cluhi and ? oci « tie » will start into existence . Hence , then , we inf < r , that so far from the Bailot producing a repeal of the Corn Laws , tbe Ballot would max * h * i the whole of the agricultural electioneering interest agaii . st it .

      As to Church Reform , as the property i » of the land , and as the mystery has beea ! found most beneficial to tbe interests of the proprietor , the landlords , both Whig and Tory , , look upon their little parish , church , aa % title i deed to tbeir possession * , while the ignorant i farmers , and voters consider it a preparatory ¦ heaven , where they imbibe tke dogma * and poli * t ticaJ sentimento of-the parish saint as gospel truth * I In the bsr&Bgha , ai « o , the ckarch would be a j standard routed which fanatics and infidels would I equally rally , and onder the ma * k of tke Ballot , they would wear religion aa a cover for their political trAH 8 rres * ion «> .

      1 1 i ( 1 , ' 2 u to the Extension , of the Saffrage , we have already ibowa that tbe enfranchised would aot be liktly to diminish their own influence by extending it to other *; and that , in fact , with the Ballot , tbe representative * would b * th # electors of their constituencies , instead of tbe coasdtae&ciaB beiag tbe electors of the representatives . la Ireland tbe

      Ballot would divide the oonstitoeacU * into Catholic aod Prote * taat retire . la Eoglwd tbe Ballot would diviia the eouttitofiici ** into landlord aod re * lprop * rty -raters , and faadkrd aad fictittoua property *« m , bttweea whom the intemt of the working nun woald b « wholly lost tight of .

      The present abuses of the franchise have nade a melancholy breach ia society ; the Ballot would increase the distrust , and widen the breach . One fact is worth a thousand arguments , and we shall not go beyond Huddersfield for it . It so happened that a situatisn was to he appointed to by Ballot , and a profeMed frknd of Mr . Stocks , ot Huddersfield , requested and entreated him to sffer himself an a candidate , with a perfect awurance of success .

      Mr . S . wai prevailed upon , and sat at the side of his friead wbea th « box went rosnd . He carefully selected a name , having pocketed the rejected ones , and , turning to Mr . Stocks , exclaimed triumphantly , there you go , a plumper , at all events . However , he did not vota for Mr . Stocks , and our readers may ask how we know ? Because Mr . Stocks had not one single vote , but was started in the hope of securing the return of the nominee of a faction , by dividing the opposiBg interest .

      Once pass the Ballot , and the two parties will successfully play at blind man ' s buff , making him who id caught last in the game , satisfied that he was not earlier seized . The Ballot will either lead to base submission or to a revolution : we think to tbe last , and we are of opinion that th > - standard of Republicanism would be vpeedilr raised , as tbe only means of destroying all mysteries , dicgui . 'cs , and deceptions at ecee . The Ballot , then , would not give the anticipated majority ; and if it did , it would not carry the anticipated measures ; and if they were carried , they would not be worth a farthing .

      The Ballot would create suspicion- —the Ballot weald engender hate—the Ballot would enable trustees to dispose of the trust without the consent of those for whom it wan held—the Ballot would take the mark off the forehead of the traitor—the Ballot , t * the voter , would speedily be followed by a like musk for the representative—the Ballot , if it did give to the Whigs their anticipated majority , would but enable them to multiply their manifold aggressions , while we can anticipate ao favovitaUe Tesuk from a T »» ry apposition . We shall , therefore , take iot » mature consideration the choice between

      the two alternative ? of marking the Whigs as fn-miw ia disguise , . or placing them once more as a barefaced opposition to a Tory majority . In ten days we can convert the Whig Government into a Radical apposition ; and , sooner than give them the looked-for disguise , we will do it . Let not our readers dread the near approach of the Ballot , it will not be carried on Tuesday ; and the discu 5 sion of the question is merely meant as a shot for a new election , or in the hope of spending a calm rece *«—neither of which comnmmations , however , shall « ur friends enjov .

      The Suffrage will give us the Ballot shouH we require it ; but without the Suffrage BO Ballot . Let the true lovers of liberty meet eiery foe before he puts on the mask and beat him : aarl let our readers be assured , that eo lopg as we live , the whole wealth of tbe State ' s coffers shall never purchase a line opposed to tbe labourers' inter « st in tbe labourers' paper and now we tell them therein , that the Ballot , with the present constituency , would be a disorder for which we could rind no cure but a desperate one—a state from which there would be no redemption but through a revolution .

      Important Meeting at Bramlet . —According to previous arrangements a public meeting of the inhabitants of Bramley , was held on Stockhill , on Tuenday la « t , for the purpose of hearing the principles of Radicalism explained . There could not nave been leas than twa thousand person * present , who listened attentively , and loudly cheered tht speaker in several parts of hi * address . The meeting was caUed by tbe bellman , who had refused to do so on former ocoasionx , but seeing that his opposition was useless , h « has come to hisseiisea ; tni » w the effect of perseverance and determination . At nine o ' clock , Mr . White , of Leeds , appeared on the hnrtings and delivered an address which lasted an honr , in the course of whioh a person in the cr « wd asked

      a question , concerning the New Poor Law . The speaker requested that any man , whether rich or poor , who had any question to ask , or objection to make would come on the hustings and he w » uld endtavour to satisfy them . This was objeot « d to , and the individual wan assailed with a volley of groans and hisses , and left the meeting . Bramley has bten proverbial for being the hot bed of whiggery , but they begin to doubt the truth of principles held by men who dare not come forward to defend them , and there is no doubt that Bramley will , er « long , be as good a radical town as any iu England . The committee of the Bramley Northern Union will meet at Mr . North ' s , Unicorn Inn , every Saturday evening , at eight o ' clock , for the purpose of enrolling the names of those who wish to join the Union .

      Leeds Northern Union . —The members of this Union held their ' weekly meeting at their room , near St . James's Church , York-street , Mr . Joi-epD Jones in the ohair . The meeting was « rell attended , ana was addressed by Mr . George White , who contrasted the wealth and affluence of tbe idle portion of society , with the poverty and misery of the iuduntrjaus ; and proceeded at great length to show up the follies and inconsistencies of the present ayetera . Mr . Charles Connor also addressed thtmeeting in his usual energetic style . Mr . lilingworth explainfrd the result of his " mission to Heckraondwike . It was announced , in the meeting , that tbe Re * . James Rawson , of the Lfed * Cemetery , would preach in the Association Room , at Six o ' clock on Sundav next .

      Indukst . — On Tuesday evening , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Btackburti , Esq ., on view of the b * dy of Mary Connolly , an infant about three mouths old , whose parents are Irish , and reside iu the Rose and Crown Court , Ebeneaer-street . The mother , on Monday , was very much intoxicated , a habit she is in the frequent custom of indulging in ; her husband , also , wa . « drunk , and they went home together , having ibe cbild with them , soon after three o ' clock in tne atcernoo : > , soou after which hour they wt / re both seen laid on the bed in a room up-stairs . An alarm wa « shortly afterwards given that the « hild was dead , aud thw father brought it cown and laid ic in

      a cradle . A neighbour who was called in tx . tnr . inea toe cnild , xud found it bleeding at the no * e ; * he then went and fetched Mr . Ward , Burgeon , who immediately attended . The parents ac this time both continued very much intoxicated , the mothc .-beiBg quite iu < eusible to the mischief that bad beeu oecaaionrd ; in taec , the evidence brought forward revealed a ? ceue revolting to humanity . Mr . Ward , surgeon , deprmed : hat it was Hear six o ' clock when he saw the child , at which time it was in a cradle , down stuirs , quite dead . He . examined the br . dy , on which W lound no external marks o ! violence , except a very slight appearance of pressure on the ight cheek ; blood was issuing from the nostriU , and some connected blood was iu the windpipe and

      stomach ; the heart was qoite empty of blood , and the nladdepof water ; it was his opinion that pressure had in some manner been used—the mere covering of tbe ' bed cluthes would not have beeu sufficient to cause the appearances ; he inclined to the opinion that death had been caused by suffocation , most probably produced by beiag accidentally lain upon . Tbe jury consulted a short time , and returned a verdicc that " tbe ceath of the child bad been ojcaVioncd by its having been lain upon by the mother—she being at the time ia such a state of intoxication as not to know what she was doin ^ . " The parents we . e called in , and at the r * que * t cf the jury severely reprimanded for their conduct . Proof of Civilization !—Imprisonment

      BIRMINGHAM . MEETINGS IN THE BULL RING . It may be recollected that uoaie weeks age it was customary for thf public to assemble around Nekon ' s Monument , in the Bull Ring , to listen to the addresses of Mr . Brown aDd others , and that those meetiBgu werepvt down bv aa order from the magistrates . Since Mr . Brown ' * arrest the working men have awembled at Holloway Head , and ovher places , until Saturday uight lust . wb * n Mr . Wilkes

      took his former statiou in the Bull Ring , to read tho news and comment thereon ; in consequence et * hich he was * rarnm ^ ne < I to appear before the magistrates , at th »> Fubhc OrTvc-, on Wednesday last , on a charge of interrupting the free passage in High Stre-t . by causing a large number of persons to assemble tegriher , thereby preventing free egress ap . d ingress through the street . The magistrates prexent were thu Mayor , Charles Shaw , and Thomas Clark , E « qrti .

      Jones , street-keeper , was the first witness sworn . He stated tbat , on the 8 th of June last , about hall-past tight o ' clock , he saw Henry Wilkes in High Street , round Nelson ' s Monument . He had a newspaper , iroHi which he was reeding aloud to the crowd . He ( witn .-ss ) should think there were from two to three hundred persons assembled , for the passage was intetrupted bj them . The crowd regained there till about a quirter to ten . After Mr . Wilkes had finished reading , an . oth . tsr person spoke ; but he was not aware of b !« name . All the time that the meeting wa * assembled tha road was interrupted .

      Mr . Wilkes » aid the officer had stated that the free passage of High-street had been interrupted by the number of persons congregated together , aud he hart staie . i lurther , tkat there were about two or three hundred persons present . If there had only keen ihit number , how was it possible for the road to khve boen obstructed , for ne coald prove that 5 . 000 person * could stand there , without interfrr . Dg wuh the free passage . If he ( Mr . WUke . «) were to be asked how many were present , ho should sny five or uix hundred , and that they were no nuisance , nor did they oppose a free pas . ^ ge . There were a ls . r « e number of persons attending the market , as it was Saturday evening , and , therefore , all the obstruction of the road could not be attributed to him . He wr . icertain that waggons passed by without the slightest inconvenience , for the crowd made way for them .

      Mr . Gem ( magistrate ' s clerk ) ssid it was not only the thoroughiare down the Bull Ring , but across it , which must also be kept clear . The Mayor asked the defendant if he was not aware that the magistrates had given public notxe taat lar ^ re bodies ot people assembling there interfered with the convenience o » pas . < . « a ers , and the comfort ot the inhabitants of tbe neighbourhood aud could nst be attowed ? Mr . Wilkes . —A number of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood have declared that it is no nuisance whatever to them : and while some shopkeepers have been closing their shops oo former occasions , I believe tbe great majority have stated that it is no nuisance , ami that they should not close their shops .

      Mr Shaw . —Bat yon seem to admit that it was a nuisance , for you say the people moved to make way . Mr - Wilkes . —That was on forme ; occasions . Robert Hall , street-keeper , deposed in the terms of Jone » s statement , as to tho defendant having caused the obstruction complained of * and he further stated that the road , more particTilarly from B . 'll fetreet to the Nel # on Monument , was complete y stopped , so that no gig or coach could pass by . Mr . Clare said the people had a right to cross the road as well as to walk along it . It must be known that lndividuald in the neighbaorhood con » idered such meetings a great nuisance , aod they having bren forbidden , ought not to beheld . As ft was the first offence , the magistrates did not wish to be severe , but they could not allow these meetings in the street They were at liberty to read the newspapers in proper places . They should , therefore , hue him 5 s . ¦

      Mr . Wttkes . —Witt in * magistrates be Irind enonph to allow us the use . of the Town Hall apon « a \ ififf iUo u 8 We haV . rS ' to i «™ »» «» HtJl . The question is whether the thoroughfare has been obstructed or not . It seems you have done so , and the penalty is £ 5 L but m « H we wish is to get rid of the nms « W . we shall fine you 5 s . - ^^ The fines aad the expences amounted to 9 i 6 d which the defendant was unable to pay ; but he rZ queued the magi * tme « to give hanS Jib « tte , £ d h « would pay it in the oour >* of the day . Tha magistrates trusted to the inan ' s word , Jl WtR —when , npon his appearance in the street , hew . * received with loud caeerinj bj the persons who Ed been awaiting tha result of the inw « S « ion .
