      ( Concluded from our seventh p&ge . ) the naturally , the necessarily turbulent aad ^ agry apirit df the multitude ? Aad lave I not sweceeded —thoroughly succeeded—universally jwceeededthere aot being a kaown exceptioa-of ¦*» $ « man .-Have I not succeeded in teaching tb * expressed , the ¦ wretched , the Helpless poor , «*< « ljt tp abstain from all acts of violence , bat i * r * fr » fiir griti * and sorrows , &nd distresses , to fut their trust ia Godin God alow , and in that wwdom and power which God hinwlf communicates and conveys to ftem ; Now if that fee true , and it u true—T It iO—1 can xpeak it here—where I believe I preacnei my first $ ? rmen-1 can speak it in every part of this district , when * I hare lifted up my voice asaoagH tod . without f

      of the Ashton district- ^ so a I anything rrf England at large in the preieat state of tk » country—is the most orderly , the most peaceable , the mt > st secure people , whether rich , or poor , high or lo « , of any portion of th « coaatry that I am oauainted with . ( Aye . " ) There has never been but one act of incendiarism sin . es I came here , tka tad , er was made to have , any political feeariof . There has been one ; and the Magistrates and Mr . Stephens know a great deal more about-it than either they ot he hare teld you . They won '; , but they must . They ha * e not , ' but they shall ; thep * haU . { Hear , hear . ) It thall be known whetarr Jowett fired it er whether Stephen * fired it . ( Hear , hear . ) It shall be known whether Higgiabottom fired it or whetiaer Stephens fired t . It shall be

      known whetber Buckley fired or Stephens . Any one of these three was as likely te fire that mill as I ; and , on many accounts , infinitely more likely . ( "Ave . " ) But it shall be known whether they or I , or ' any one of tou- ^ -so { is as evidence can fix any sart of probability to guilt—it shall be knows who has fired that mill , and why the evidence on th- » subject has been kept back—for it has been kept back . Lastly , this memiug , I am glad the 10 : ii are come , becaus « their arrival has directed my attention to the subject of killing and slaying . The arrival of so Urge a body of troops into so peaceable and lovai a district can lurre bn : one object * :. every bod y knows whit that object is . There is bo danger to person ; there is no danger to property ; there ii no danger to any one , or to anything—man ,

      ¦ woman , child , silver or gold , house ? or land ; there is no danger to man , or to beast , or to goedis unless the de-Boa of desolation , in the- person of Lord John Ra « . « elL should inspire thatmalignance , with the h-ll-bom design of introducing , by ferce , the Rural Police and tae New Poor Law . Let either of thes- —or both of these—make their appearance , backed by force , in these district * , -then I will do my uttermost te enable the people to meet argument ¦ witii &rgument , whether it be the argument of reason , or the argtunent of gunpowder ( aye , and hear , hea T ); whether it be reasons drawn from" the Word cf G . > d , or reasons carried at the point of th * bayoaet—reasons shot from the artillery oi heaven ' s ivdiot thunderbolts of God , or bali-cartridge , frape . canisteror whatever else the storehouses ol hell iias

      , "within i ' . tj wield upon the peoale , whereby to accomplish their destruction . The arrival of thi * delathtnent of the army has drawn my attention to tie sn .-j ° ct of killing and slaying . They are brought here to ' kil and to slay . I know they won ' t do it -unlawfully ; I know ' they , won ' t unchristianly ; J know t ' jey won ' t in an unmanly and unbroth » r ] y -v » r . If they do kill and slay , ' ii will be for God . the people , tie Queen , and Ike Constitution ; it will ret be ! or the Ne * Pooi Law , the Rnral Police , and Lord Join Russell ; let me tell him that . I ne ^ not d * more than tell you—for a word is enough—to ¦ welcome ihose men wherever you see them . The law tells me . and I tell you , there is no distinction betT ^ eu a . vjldi ^ r and civili an in law . The character of cidzen includes that of ssldiw : it is not

      the cba * acti » r of the soldier that gwailows ap that of tie citizen . Never forget that . They are oaly soldiers in law and under law ; aad forget net that we ars told by the highert consdrutional writers we have , that a " standing army in a time of peac ? is an invasion of tbe constitntion of the country . But her * th- 'T ^ re ; andsach as they are , b * kind ^ to them &nd treat ties well . Ask them to com * and smoke their pvpe * - ritii you ; £ 3 k ih ^ m to come and drink tea -wiih your wives and families in an afternoon , bu : particularly on the Sunday afternoon . Rtad th ? Bible to thein . Scrape up as maay of mj . peaav sermon ? a « voa cau find ap and down ajnoB ^ the

      book-el ^ r- ' sljop * . andget them to give them to yon to give to the m ? n of the 10 th . If they have any eld stock on hand , buy them as cheap as yon can , amd give them to the soldiers ; they are the best thing you can eire them just bow . Pat the law of God . tie la . vr of kin-iness . and the love of God into their head > , into their hands , iad . if yon can , into their ieart > ; and yon vrill find tbeym-smen ; you will £ nd th y are brethren , and they will never hurt you at the bidding of Lord John RusselL ot of any ottier lord , so long as you , as you hitherto have dose , ke ^ p yonrs-lves within the law of God and within the law of tbe lied . I shall continue this sermon to-night . You will net follow me to hear it : the room will be

      sadly too « mall a « it i « , aad I cannot preach oat of door * just now . It is almost more than I can do to stand i . vriinin door ? . You shall have th . e whole of itmost lik ^ y in the Northern Slur ; aad if not in the Korttiern Star , or if in tie ~ Sorthem Star , yen s < ball still have the whole of it in a pamphlet as early as it ean be got oat . This erasing 1 shall coaniane . the subject ; 1 sliall go fairly and honestly into the qup * t : an cf tie rightfulness , and the lawfalness of killing and slariug . when kiDing and slaying is right , and when killing and slaying is wroof . I shall treat this question from the Word » f God ; My texts "will be the passages which 1 shaD qfldte , and comment upon such as fee foHo » ifc £ *— "Your blood o : voc r lives will 1 require , at fc » hHndsof-wery

      be « t wi : l 1 rebuke if , « ad at theh * Bd * of-iBan , ax the iiacds of every man ' s brother ^ wiii T require the life ef man . Whoso AeddeUi man ' s biood , by man sbad his blood be shed ; for in die image ' of God maoe be man . " And then in the NewTestaxi ni— " lie tiat hath a purse let him take it ; and he that hath no sword let him sell hia garment and b ' . y one . "' Agaiii— " Andhe slid . Lord , beheld here - J- tso swords ; aad he said , it is enough " And tb * n the parallel passage , in which Christ ssts , ** All " -her ftat take tiie sword shall perish by the rwonL" " •'• Tkea said Jesus uatohhn , put up again ti y sword into its p lace , for all they t&at take the iword shiD p rrish by the sword . Thinkest thou that I cannot cow pray to my Father , and he sha ll p resiiitly 2 ive meiDOie than twelve legions of angels , bat hoi ' then shall the Scriptures h * fulfilled ? " In the same hour Christ said to the multitude , "Are T 9 come out aa against a thief , with gwords and i < Uve-. to take me V And thus to shew that this

      goes through the whole ef the Scriptures I shall not take up your attention with a multiplicity of passages , knit shall confine myself to two or throe ; one or two from Moses , one ' or twu from Christ , and perhaps ono or two from the Book of Revelation . ¦ winding up the whole Word of God . "He that leadeta inta captivity must go into captivity : he that k-. lleta with the sword munt be killed with the sworo . " From these passages of the Word of God I shall to-night treat the subject of Idmng and slaying—wken it is lawful and right , when it is wrong and unlawful ; and in what way we now , as Christian En ^ ishmen , are to act npon or » be prepared to act upon , tha : » o « nd and wholesome doctrine © f the Word ef God . May God Almighty lead us to the truth as it is in Jesus , and enable us to hold thp truth in righteonsne&s , and to practise the ume for hi « name and mercy's cake . Amen . " .

He was , however , not called in ,. but it is expected he will be » ne of the first called before the jury on the resumption of the inquiry . Ever since the lamentable and tragiea . 1 occurrence wa * discovered , the excitement occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of Soho has been most intense . Large crowds have dailv congregated in front of Mr . Westwoed ' * residence * , and on Thursday the assemblage was so large that it wa 9 found necessary to have in attendance a body of the C division of police , to keep order .

      Mr . 'Westwood , who vru a man of rather peculiar habits , has resided in Princes-street for upwards of 20 years , a portion of which period he lived at the house adjoining tke southern end of the wall of St . AHn ' s Cnurch-yard , from whence he removed to hi * late reeidene * where he lived about 10 or 12 years . He was , it is asserted , of an obstinate and irritable temper , anditisnet long since Mrs .

He was ultimately tried at the O ! d Bailey Sessions , convicted , and subsequently executed . A JeW ' named Solemoni , was tried with him for receiving a

      portion of the property , but the evidence being inconclusive against him he was acquitted . The robbery on the present lamentable occasion has been much more extensive ; the property removed being estimated by Mrs . "VYestwood at a value of upwards of £ 2 , 860 . Eighty-fire watches are known to have been stolen , eighty-four of which were gold and silver , and one gilt ; the number * and names of which have all been ascertained . In addition , the murderers htve carried off se » eral valuable gold chain * , Sec ., five soverei gn * , and a pound in silver moneys . "Whether the sovereigns had been marked in atinular manner by Mr . Westwood , ai those formerly stolen from him has not transpired .

      On Thursday , bills giving a description of the watches , &c ., effering a reward of £ 100 for tht recoVery ef the property , te be paid by Mr . Peake , a fr iend of the deceased , were issued . On Thursday the following particular ! relating to this horrid aflair , Were , by erder of the commissioners , circulated throughout the various divisions of the metropolitan police : — " One of the two men seen to leave the house of Mr . "Westwood , attwehe o ' clock oa the night of the murder , was to all

      appearance about five feet five inches hi gh , stout made , light whiskers , and sallow complexion . He wore a freek coat , and seemed to be between thirtyfive and forty yearn of age . His dress was not very respectable . His companion wa » taller , and had on a dark frock coat ; of this man no other description can be given . The superintendents will cause every inquiry to be made in their divisions , in order to trace the above parties , and take suck steps as they may deem likely to be most effective . "
