Qran ' s attorney adrised the eTidtnee to bereBerred for the trial . The eaose has cansed a greater excitement in Bradford than ias been knowa for a Dasher of years . A strong prejndice ezists against tbe Irish ia and about Bradford . SeTeral hswkershaTebeenill-treated

      and their wares destroyed at Low Moor , BatldoB , and other places . Placards hate heen fsssed throngbont the town , wherein the religionB prejndiees and worst passions of the people are appealed to , calling on the loyal Protestants to come forward and put down Popery , otherwise the loyal Protestants of England will be nsder Bnbjecrion to the erey-headed Popish tyrant who resides oa a foreign shore . The band was engaged six weeks befere the day of procession . On inqniry it was diBcorered that they could not play the tones required ; and lbe committee , according to report , sent to Dublin for the mnsic . It is known tnat the persons who coneoefed the whole procession proceedings were Irish Orangemen . A nnmber of them are old soldiers . The placards aboTe alhided to aTe not the production of the parties whose signatnreB are attached : they haTe emanated from persons in a higher walk of life than woolcoraberF .

      Bbxdtoss . —Awfcllt Sxtddes Death . —An old man of the name of M'Gyntee , a collector of old ropes , a native of Ireland , died suddenly at his lodgings , Reform-street , on Wednesday eTening . M'Gynt&e was pursuing his usual aTocation dnring the day in the neighbourhood of Bradford , when he was attacked by a number of women and lads ; all his stock of ropes , and other wares , were destroyed and strewn about , and he with difficulty escaped with whole bones . On his return , hiB landlord , Roaert Burnett , an old pensioner , entered into an altercation with him respecting the late riot . This threw M'Gyntee into a Tiolent passion , and he en-Teighed mest bitterly against the Orangemen , in the act'of de&ooncistion he dropped down lifeless . The body awaits a eoro&er ' s inquest .

      TBniESDors Fibe at Gbj-Teskkd . —About eleren o'clock on Sunday sight a fire commenced at Graresend , which caused a far more extensive destruction of property then any similar event in that town for the last naif-century . It commenced near a Email house in West-street , and qaickly communicated to the building , which , as well aa the adjoining house -rras constructed principally of wood . The fire spread-with great rapidity , and the wind fanned the r rlame 3 from bouse to house . The town engines were speedily got into play , as was the engine from the fort , and assisted in a Tery short time by engines from Rochester , Darlford , and other places , which , on seeing the brilliant blazs caused by the fire , had at once started for the scene of conflagration . The

      detachments of soldiers lying at Tilbury and at GraTesend , rendered eTery assistance in their power , and were of the greatest service in keeping order and working the engines . After burning for several hour 3 , and destroying twenty-five houses , several wharfs , and consuming a Tast quntity of material connected with shipping , the fire was fortunatly got under . At four o ' clock all further danger had ceased . An entire square of building between Weststreet and the River was consumed , and some houses on the npper side of that street were burnt , and others damaged . Considering the nature of the fire , sad the place where it oecured , it is almoRt surprising that tbe whole of that part of the town 0 ! GraTesend was not consumed .

Carter , coroner for Surrey held an inquest before a respectable jury at the Mitre public-house , Broadwall , 2 jambeth , on tbe body of a female taken out of the river Thames on Thursday morning la > t , and erroneously stated to hare been the sister of the culprit recently executed .

      half-past five , when he discovered the deceased lying in the mud , face downwards , and the rodder of a barge over her lower extremities . He gave information to tbe police , but tbe body could not be removed until the rising of tbe tide , abont ten o ' clock the same morning , when it wa 3 removed to Christehurch workhouse in a shell . No marks of -violence were -risible . Jane Batrie , nnrse to tbe workhouse , deposed to searching the deceased , when she discovered a cat on tbe right thigh , which no doubt had been done some time previous to death . SeveraJ persons had seen the body , but none could own the deceased . Tbe jury returned a Terdict of " Found drowned . "

      Fbightfttl Scattold Accidkst at thb New Houses ot Parliament . — Several Pebsojss 1 kjubkd . —On Saturday morning , a few minutes befere vwelTe o ' clock , a painful degTee of alarm and excitement was created at the works of the new Houses of Parliament , in consequence of tbe sodden falling -of some scaffolding which had been erected at an eminence-of about forty feet , between what iB called the "Royal Gallery" and the "House of lords / 1 and upon which several men were standing , engaged cbiely in * ' Bhooting" bricks . As soon as tbe dust occasioned by tbe falling material had in some degree subsided , the poor fellows , all of whom were more or less injured , were extricated from among ihe rubbish . Four of them were at once obliged to be conveyed to Westminster Hospital , where they were immediately received and humanely treated ;

      and upon examination by the snrgeons , it was discovered that they bad each sustained the following amount of injury , viz . —Patrick Lyons , labourer , 25 years of age , haTing a wife and two ehildiensevereinjary of head , b » dy , legs , and arms . Richard Smith , aged 16—injury of arm and body . Daniel Jordan , bricklayer , aged 38 , with a wife and three children—injury of head and various parts of the body ; and Michael Caliagban , a labourer , aged 40 , with a wife and six children—injnry of sknll and various parts of hi 3 body . Tbe poor fellows remain at the hospital in a state of great Buffering . The lamentable occurrence is stated to have been caused in consequence of tbe putlogs and poles , which are tbe main stays of the scaffolding , not having been properly secured before the men were allowed to work upon the planks with so weighty a material as brick and mortar .

Roberts , who fceep 3 the turnpike bar at Sandal , near Wakefield . She was foolishly nsing gunpowder to make the fire burn . She had let tbe fire get Tery low . and to make it bnrn qnick , she took the powder flask , which contained about halfa-pound of powder , and threw a quantity npon the fire . The Same reached the end of the flask , and caused the whole to explode , doing tbe woman serious injury . Her left arm was completely Jacerated from the wrist to the elbow . Her breast , right arm , and face , were also much injured . Indeed it waa a most fortunate thing she escaped at all with life . She remains at present in a dangerous condition .

      Fbightptix Occcbbenck at the Wakepikuj Zoological Gabdzss—Two Fekalis Wobbied by a Bkab . —On Saturday morning last , about two o ' clock , a bear , about three years of age , which had been confined in a pit in tbe above establishment , suddenly leaped over the boundary and got admission into the gardens . The proprietor ,. Mr . Haselgrave , was from home at the time , but Ms wife and sister-in-law attempted to drive it back again , when it turned upon them , and worried them in » shocking manner . Their shrieks of agony broaght some parlies to tbeir assistance , and among others , Mr . William Stead , of "Westgate , who attacked the bear with a garden hoe , and succeeded , at imminent hazard to himself , in attracting tbe attention

      of the brute from the unfortunate females . Mr . Stead hid himself a narrow escape . The excitement that now prevailed was very great , as if was feared that the enraged brute , rendered fniions after tbe taBte of hnman blood , would leap the outer walls of the gardens , "but such a calamity was happily pre-Tented , by tbe gallant efforts of Mr . Broughton Boston , son of Mr . Bo 3 ton , gunmaker , who , having armed himself with a gun heavily charged , entered the garden , accompanied by Mr . William Drake , plumber , also armed , and on the bear adT&ncing towards them with a savage growl , Mr . Drake fired , but without waiting nntfl within a proper distance , as the animal was merely turned in its «* nrse , without being serioasly injured . Young Boston , however , followed it to tbe lower part of the garden , and there , at about two yards distance , delivered

      the charge jnto its headjtolling the huge creature orei , but sot dispatching it ; he then retreated , and hating re-loaded his gun-with slugs , again approached , and after two other shots succeeded in destroying the brute . The tw » females , on bejng takeB Dp . were focad to be dreadfully lacerated abouj their arms , tlughs , aid other parts of their todies , and several » e 4 ical men being speedily in attendance , eTery attention was paid to them ; . tho 3 eattentionB hare - ~ beea nnremittingly contiitued ^ and it was hoped that ihe Htcb or both the females might he saT « & It was sickening to see . the eagerness of the bear in following the course where the females -were carried , licking the > 16 oda 8 Trwent , and onTeaching the room where they were placed , forcing its paws through the windows , and endeavouring to bars * its way throagh them in pursuit of its

      Attempt at Murder at Lobth . —A most fiendish attempt to murder ah old toll-keeper named Jacob Guisely , and his wife ; was made by a monster named Markam . He fired two putols at them , and beat them about the head with shammer , which he had with him for the purpose . The old man defended himself most gallantly ; and his son arriving to his aid , they ultimately beat therufiian off . The old man stabbed him in several places with a sticksword . The straggle of the parties was so severe that the walls of the house were literally smeared with blood . The brute made his escape , bue was afterwards apprehended at the house of a widow with whom he was intimate . Aa the officers entered the house , he cut his throat with a razor , and now lies in a fair way to defeat the ends of justice .

      AWPCI . CCBPLAQHATiON AT HnxDEKSFI ELD . —Mitt Bchnt Dowi * . —Tne most disastrous fire that ev « r occurred in this town , took place during tbe night of Sunday last , in a mill , the property of Mr . Joseph laye . The premises were very extensive , beiD ^ about 140 feet in leDgth , and forty wide , and five atones in height , exclusive of the attic . The building was tenanted ky nearly thirty small fimabers , most of whom will suffer severely by the catastrophe . Th » mill is situate at Folly Hall , and was first discovered to be on fire by Mr . Eastwood ' s man , who saw tae flames raging in the inside of the third story , the part supposed to be occupied by Mr . G . Berry , of Locfewood . This was about halfpast one . He immediately gave the alarm , and

      m a few minutes the flames burst through the windows , and finding vent , the devastating element spread with amazing rapidity from room to room , until the whole building was one entire mass of flame . Tbe scene from the top of Chapel Hill , and alse from Cropland Moor , was at this time ( two o ' clock ) one of the most awfully magnificent that can he imagined . About a quarter past two the main part of the roof fell in with a tremendous crash , carrying tbe tbree top floors with it , the others shortly following . From the first discovery of the fire all hope of saving any part of the mill was entirely giTen up . The powerful engine belonging the mill was qaickly got into play ; the Leeds and Yorkshire was quickly on the spot ; bat from the

      carelessness of tbe person whose duty it was to attend to the suction-pipe , was rendered useless for a considerable time . The fellow had put the suction hose into a dyke , without firet putting on the ** rose , " or the end , to prevent its suoking stones into the pipe ; the consequenoe waa , that in a very few minutes tha pipe was choked with stone , and would render no service until the whole length of the pipe had been taken to pieces and cleaned out , a work of some difficulty . Two other engines were also soon on the ground , Messrs . Armitage Brothers , of Milncs Bridge , and the one from Messrs . Brook ' s place , at Araitage Bridge , whose powerful assistance was required to cool and reduce the fire in tbe mills opposite , which were on fire in tbree different stories at one time : but by tbe plentiful supply of water , handed up by buckets and other vessels , it

      was reduced . The steam from the engine was also turned on into every room , and was of great nse ; from two to a quarter to three o ' clook the fire was at its height . Tbe beat , at this time , even at the distance of 100 yards , was intense ; and each was the glare from the fire that the inhabitants of tbe remotest parts of the town imagined that tbeir next door neighbour ' s house was oa fire . The wind was very still ; had there been wind from tbe north-east , no human exertions could have saved the whole range of new factories lately built . By half-past five the whole building was an entire mass of ruin , nothing standing but the four walls . Some of tbe parties who had machinery in the mill were insured ; Mr . Kaye partially so . The whole damage is variously estimated at from £ 20 , 000 to £ -10 , 000 By this sad catastrophe no fewer than 500 persons will be thrown out of employment .

      Thb svrroasD Murdbb at Wihblkdos . —The husband ol tbe woman supposed to hare been murdered has been apprehended at Shoreham , in Kent . He has been ( Ximined before tbe magistrates there , and remanded to the care of the authorities in London .

      The Chairman commenced by observing that he did sot expect to be called to that situation , as it was his wish that some other person occupying a leBa prominent positiap in the struggle should be called on to to preside ; bnt he would endeavour to do his duty , and he hoped the meeting would support him in endeavouring to procure , for eTery speaker who should present himself , a fair hearing . Be particularly requested that if any persons in the meeting wished for information , or bad any doubts npon their minds as to the justice of their demands , they would come forward , and they would be treated with courtesy . Since the last meeting held in that place , circumstances bad occurred which they did sot expect , and that muse account for the suddenness of calling the present

      meeting . Mr . Dana had pnt forth a statement of what he called fads ; and in justification of theii conduct fo * the last three weeks , they were bound to appear before the public and proTe that they were not fads , bat downright- TALSEBOODS .

      dared to stand up and tell him to bJa teeth the true facts of the case : but the times had changed .

      ever rams they to ns shall bo cheerfatty repaid with tenfold interest . The trade of Sheffield has been Buffering rinct the strike ; for there was not anotter bed of «» l in the world fit for tbe t » es of the Sfteffiald trade ; and if the stand continues much longer , the artiolea manufactured rtaat be inferior in qflaHty > and the trade must safifer fdr years , perhaps for ever , to the different markets of the world . It was therefore tine interestof all classes that the dispute shoatd be settled as speedily as poBBible . The speaker cowlude * amid ' loud cheers .

      Mr . Sjvallow was next lntrodsced amid great cheeriDg . He hoped the press wooM not take andae advantage of any mistakes that be might make . H-e was like most of his order , born of ignerant parents , " and never went to Bchooi but one fortnight In his life . What education he received was at Black Rod GbWige ; . and there they learned very little about grammar ot mathematics . It was all aboafc Pitmaties , and therefore he would address them In a plaim pil > nati # d style Was it to be wondered at , that Colliers should be ignorant , when they were taken in their infancy at five years of age , down into a pit fall of wet and dirt ,, at five o ' clook in the morning , many times having to be carried out of the pit asleep In the arms of their fathers , aBd laid on the hearthatoner until nature was

      resusoitated . Many were ignorant of tbe nature of the Colliers ' employment . Tes , often the places they bad to work in were no better than sinks ; and , if tbe little children happened to stumble and fall , they would be over the bead in mud . In fact , if the highways In any town were In such a state , they would be Indicted as a nuisance ; no wonder that tbe Commissioners in their Report should state , that tbe Collier children were the hardest to be educated . We are often taunted with our ignorance ; bat we are determined in future ft thall ml be ail " pit and bed "; bat we will have time for meBtal improvement and physical recreatien . The masters say if they could Bell more coal they would give us education ; but we want less work and more wage , and then we can educate ourselves and our

      child-Ten . The life of a Collier is more uncertain than that of any other working man . In Sil&rstbne , in one pit , twenty-six persons were frowned , hurried fato eternity is almost a moment of time . In a pit in Durham twenty-eight were killed by fire-damp . He happened to be there at the time , and he saw one poor woman come crying out , " Where ' s my husband" ? The answer was " he's dead . " " Where is my eldest bay V " Dead too . " " Where is my youngest ? " " Be Is dead » 1 bo . " "Theii , gracious heaven , " cried the bereaved one , « ' take me too ; for what have I to live for ? ' * ( The manner in which the speaker narrated these tales of woe produced immense sensation . ) All therefore who had been suddendly bereaved of husbands , children , and friends would sympathise with the poor Colliers . Had they not a sacred tight to be paid for their labour ?—( cries of «• Tea , yes ) . He then took a survey of the canting of the masters—that they were always

      loosing : but they always grew rich by their losses . The more they got , the more they grumbled . Alderman Dunn said he was loosing : but it was enly the other week that be paid JG » 00 for an estate . Could he realise thatsnm honestly ? no . it was out of the blood and sweat ot tbe poor Miners ; and if even he was to lose any thing it would be only a portion of that which did not belong to him : for if Dunn ot any body else took a weekts labour for half , a day ' s wages , he ought to lose it They were in a better position than any other trade to make a stand for tbe right ' s of labour : for their , trade was the key to all other trades . Ih 18 < 2 the manufacturers wanted to stop the machinery , by pulling the pings out of the boilers -. but they could not do it : but we can stop machinery , by simply stopping at home . And this is perfectly legal ; for they cannot compel us to go to work except with our own consent Tis true they brought in a bill t * compel us ; but T . Dancomba , Esq ., assisted by the trades of England , kicked the

      monster out Let us then respect ourselves , and then our importance will be acknowledged . Sir Henry HardJnge onoe boasted In tbe House of Commons , when the tailors were on strike , that be would wear his coat till his elbows were ont , sooner than submit to their tyranny , as he was pleased to call it Well , he might do bo -. ' and when it was oat at the elbows he might get some of hia eervanU to darn it up again s but if the coal fire went out , and his dinner could not be cooked , could they data up the hole in bis stomach ?—( loud laughter ) . No ; the rich oa well as the poor would be brought to acknowledge the importance of the colliers . The Uilor could not warm bis goose without the produce ot the Colliers labour . The paddles of tbe vessel on the briny deep mast cease to revolve . Puffing Billy on the

      railway would grow astbisatica ) If be did not get his regular Bupply of food . We have do foreign market to contend with , for we supply the continent of Earope with eo&L They cannot displace us by machinery , though they have tried . In one pit they cot a machine In the shape of a circular saw , to undermine the seam , but it came in contact with a brass lump that soon drew its teeth , and then the gums were of Tery little use . Capital was sooner deatioyed in a coal pit than any where else , when they were idle ; and already were the masters quarreling among themselves . At the last meeting they had a regular row . The small capitalists began to find out that it was the wish and intention of the large ones to drive them out of tbe trade ; and

      though they bad been entrapped Into a bond and a heavy penalty , they were now going to meet artifice by stratagem ; for they say to the men : Will you give up the union V Tbe men fay , no . " Well then , give us np your cards . that we may have eometbiug to show for our money " That we can easily do ; for we can get a fresh One for a penny . " He was surprised that they could not see Into the motives of such men as Dunn , who had got together great heaps of coal and filth , for which they never paid wages , and were now fatting thousand ' s into their pockets by tbe sale of it-After some further remarks , exposing the tyranny practised upon the workmen , he made a powerful appeal to the men and to tbe different trades , on the advantages of union , and concluded amid loud cheers .

      A vote of thanks was next proposed to the public and the trades of Sfcuffield , for their generous support , which was carried unanimously . Mr . West moved the following resolution : ~ " That this meeting recommend to the different Trades tbe propriety of directing their delegates to bring the question of the Colliers' strike before the general meeting ef the trades' delegates , with a view to get up a requisition to tbe Mayor to call a public meeting of the inhabitants to take into consideration the evil the trade of tbe town is suffering from tbe want of a sufficient supply of necessary and proper coal ; and also to express au opinion on tbe infamous conduct of Alderman Dunn , and the other masters , who are factionsly standing out against the mens' just and reasonable demands . " Mr . West supported thin resolution in a speech of some length ; it Was seconded by Mr . Briggs , and carried unanimously .

      Three hearty cheers were given fcr the Colliers and their cause , and three most dismal groans for Dunn and the other tyranU ; and this great meeting then separated . Cornwall . —Messrs . Butler , Davis , and Hunter have held some very good meetings in Redrutb , Camborne , and St . Ives . The men of St . Ives pledged themselves to stand by tbe Union , and would enrol themselves under its banner the first opportunity . Tbe men of Cornwall are in a wretched condition * They . do not average more than twenty-five shillings per month of twenty-four days , which ib little more than one shilling per day of from efcht toj twelve hours . There are also hundreds out 0 / employ on account of increasing the hours 0 / work from eight to ten and twelve . On Friday last ,

We Intend to visit this place on Monday first We have laid the easeef the Miners of the North before all we have visited , and they say that if the masters would give them six pounds per month , they would not go ; but that they will stop at home and try to make their homes what they should be , comfortable and happy .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association re-assembled on Sunday the 2 nd insc . A great many new members were enrolled , and a good deal of cash collected . Among ! the persons admitted was one very intelligent young man , who said he had received a note from one of hia friends , assigning a 3 a reason , for not joining the Chartists , three objections to which he should like to be enabled to reply in as clear and forcible a manner as possible . Mr . Dyott was called upon to reply to these objections , viz ., the doctrine of spoliation { and re-distnbution of property ; disturbing public ) meetings ; and assisting the Tories at the last elections . Mr . D . said those things had been so often brought forward ,

      and so often answered , that he had to perform a very monotonous task , and should got I through it as briefly as possible . With regard to ! the first objection , when the writer or any one elBeolould shew that the Chartists had ever broached or upheld such a doctrine , it would be quite time enough to dwell upon it . It was a chimera which existed only in the imaginations of those who were too timid to desire any change , and too indolent to inquire into the one others sought . It was quite true ; the Chartists hoped for a more equal distribution of the good things of this life , whenever they t-ffected their grand object—** Protection for the Labourer ; " but it was judt as uatrue to assert that they ever contemplated the bringing about of that result by any summary or

      violent method . By the slow aud gradual operation of wi 3 e lawa alone did _ they hope for this happy consummation , which ; they all so devoutly wished . ( Hear . ) With regard to the second branoh of the objection , if the Corn-Law League , sought to propagate the delusion that the people were ardent in their behalf , tho people were quite right in showing the legislature and the world , that they were wise enough Jnot to concern themselves in what , under present icircumstanoes , could bring them no relief . ( Hear . )| If they were excluded from the House of Commous by representation or otherwise , they did well to use their voices , where at least they bad yet a right to exercise them , in popular assemblies , ( Hear and cheers . ) Let the

      League confine itself to special meetings , and they would let them alone ; but if they called aggregate assemblies , let them not abuse the people because public sentiment was against them . ( Cheers . ) The people well knew that they bad nothing to expect from Cobden and Co ., any more than they bad from his Grace of Buckingham and backers . ( Hear . ) They were both struggling for the large ! share of tbe fleece ; and it was quite immaterial to the fleeced how the spoil was divided . ( Hear . ) All was shorn from the people , who had a right to : be as grateful to one pack of their plunderers asj to the other . ( Hear . ) They therefore did well in carrying on an agitation not for their oppressors , but for themselves . ( Cheers . ) Now with regard to assisting the Tories ; it was not true that Chartists had any liking for

      Toryism , or ever did anything to assist it . But it is very true that they did assist tuemselfes by Tory aid—they got a friend into Parliament by splitting votes with the Tory Candidate , after I the Whig one had spurned the contamination of any such coalition with Chartism . He , Mr . Dyoit thought tbe Chartists had shown admirable tact , and an amiable indifference to factional feelings on the occasion , ( Loud cries of I hear , hear . ) They gave the Tories no advantage , ilt was something like the changing of a Bank note for silver . Both parties were accommodated , but ] neither made anything by the transaction—( hear and laughter ) . Suppose a Chartist was in a boat with a Whig on one side and a Tory on the other , and : that the boat

      was by accident capsized ; suppose neither Whig nor Chartist could swim , and that the j Tory could ; should the Chartist suffer himself to be drowned out of pare spite , rather than let the Tory have the honour of carrying him safe to the shore ?—( hear and laughter ) . For his own part he ( Mr . D . ) would clutch a Tory under aaoh eironajstaocias as sincerely as he would shake hands with his friend Mr . O'Higgins—( laughter ) . Now to be seripus , the Chartists were placed something in that position at the elections . The House of Commons was the strand they wished to reach : and as their electoral strength was

      insufficient for the purpose , the ; did well to take assistasoe where they could procure it 7- ( hear , hear ) . Mr . Dyott , after dwelling at considerable length on the benefits to be expected from the Charter , resumed his seat amid much cheering , when the objector ' s friend expressed himself fnlly . satisfied , and had no doubt but he should convince his correspondent . —Mr . O'Higgina addressed the meeting at groat length ( though labouring under a cold and hoarse ness ) , on the subject of Mr . O'Conneli ' a inoarceratioD , and promised that he would make the strongest exertions on his behalf , which wag responded to with loud cheering . , i

      . LATJE 5 T FROM IRELAND . Codrx op Queen ' s Bench—Monday . —At tbe sitting of tb » Cuutt this morning , Mr . Whiteslde Q . C ., renewed bis application for permission to inspect tbo record of tbe indictment . The Attorney-Generai , opposed the motion , 00 tbe grounds that the objects required , as stated ia that affidavit , would be fully attained by tbe Clerk of the Grown furnishing tbe agents for the prisoners with an attested copy of tbe name 3 of all tbe witnesses that ware endorsed upon tbe back of the indictment , as having been sworn and examined by the Grand Jury ; and ta . it' the application waa without precedent , aud ontrary to rule , Mr . Whitesjde again addressed the court , aad pleaded his ristat to have the motion granted .

      Tbe Soliciior-General replied , and ureed the objections made by the Attorney-tJeneral , and inquired what object was to be attained by the application being granted , when the Crown had already assented to supply the other side with an attested copy of the list ef names ? Unless there waa some ulterior motive ia view , he coul 4 not understand the application . Ha therefore called upon the prisoners' counsel to stats any other grounds he might have foi pressing hiB motion , otherwise he must resist the application . Mr . Ford , attorney for Mr . O'CopnelJ , inadvertently mentioned that they wished to see wksther or not tbs Foreman ol the Jury , bad initialed the names of all tbe witnesses that had been sworn . The Solicitor-General said that it then came out that the object waa merely a ' * bill of discovery , " aud tbat it was brought forward under a delusive pretext . Mr . Whlteside denied tbat the motion had been made under any delusive pretext

      The Solicitor-General considered that he had sufficient grounds for using the expression , although it was not intended to apply personally to Mr . Wutteside or any other gentleman . Mr . Justice Cramptoi * could not see any necessity for tbe application at all , as it would only be necessary for the prisoners , ia bringing their writ of error , to allege that the witnesses wexe not aworn , to have the record produced . The AJTorney-Geweraz , suggested that the record should be sent for ; and on tbe court examining the back of it , if their Lordships were of opinion that counsel for the prisoners should be allowed to inspect it , he would offer no further objection to their doing so . He bad no objection to give the names of tha jurors , and also have it stated which were sworn and which afnr&ed .

      The Clerk of the Crown was then desired to bring tbe record into court , which he did in a few minutes , and banded it up to tbe bench . After a short dielay , tbeir Lordships severally gave judgment on the motion , when it appeared that tbe Chief Justice and Mr . Justice Crampton were against , and Mr .. Justice Button and Judge Perrin were for it . The Attorney General then said that two members of the court having decided in favour of the application , be would make no further objection to counsel for the prisoners seeing tbe record , as suggested by Mr . Justice Burton—namely , in presence of the court . The document was then handed to Kir . White * side , who , with some of his brethren , examined it for about a minute , when it was teturned to tha bench .

      It was 8 » d that the Learned Gentleman ascertained the irregularity which they believed to exist in that document . The court then went into motions .

      ULTEBIOR PROCEEDINGS . There is a rumour to-day that the " state prosecutions" have not terminated in tne conviction and imprisonment of Mr . O'Connell and his six co-conspirators , aa it is more than surmised tbat Government have it in contemplation to institute legal proceedings against Mr . William Smith O'Brien , wbo has on several occasions , in the course of bis speeches at the Corn-Exchange , courted tbe honours of political martyrdom .

      TREATMENT OP MR . O ' CONNELL IN PRISON . There was a meeting of the Board of Superintendence of City Prisons held on Saturday , when a long and angry diaeaanion ensued respecting the treatment to be observed towards Mr . O'fionuell and the other , traveraers , prisoners ia the Richmond Penitentiary . An adjournment eventually took place till Monday , and in the coarse of the afternoon , as I am informed , an intimation was made to Mr-O'Connell that in the event of its being bis intention to publish any letter 01 document , bearing bis signature , in the usual channels of information , it was the determination of tho board to see that the usual prison regulations were strictly enforced , that not tbe least exception should be made in hi 3 favour , and tbat it it was found necessary to do so , be should be deprived of tbe use ef pea , ink , and paper .

      LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION . MONDAY . The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day , nt the Conciliation HoU . From an earJy hour tbe building was crowded to excess , and the greatest interest seemed awakened to take part in tbe proceedings of the day . At ten o'clock , Mr . S . O'Brien , M . F ., entered , and was received with most rapturous cheers . On tbe motion of the Honourable Gentleman , Caleb Powell , M . P ., was called to the chair .

      The Chaieman thanked the meeting for the honour which they conferred upon him by calling him to preside over such a meeting and on such an occasion . Ha need only say tbat Mr . O'Connell ( the name of Mr . O'Connell waa the Bignal for a reiterated burst of applause ) , in his present position , commanded his utmost reverence and admiration ; and , as long as he had voice to speak his sentiments , or on arm to wield constitutional weapons in defence of his country , be would stand by that man in bis struggles . Mr . William S . O'Brien then rose and said that ths meeting would easily believe that it was with no ordinary feelings tbat he met them on this momentous occasion . If be did not very much miscalculate tbe feelings of the people , and of that assembly , they met

      him with feelings of increased reverence for the name and person of their leader , Mr . O'Connell ; bnt he would mistake very mmch If there was the least shadow of despondency on their part —( cries of no , no . ) Who waa the person against whom the present prosecution was directed ? A man who was known throughout the habitable globe , and who held in his hand tbe destinies of the English government . What was hia offence ?—simply tbat be had loved his country—Ihear , hear , and cheers)—that he had sought to render her prosperous and happy—to obtain the restoration of her legislative independence . He was prosecuted because a Protestant student of Trinity College had published a song entitled , " The Memory of the Dead , " in a certain newspaper . He would ask the English people : he would ask

      Europe , was there not one law for England aud another for Ireland ? Did not every poat bring newspapers from England breathing the most furious spirit of hatred against this country , and , were those papers he would ask / the objects of prosecution by the government * And yet they bad been prosecuted for hurling back these defiances . The Irish had been designated aliens by a Lord Chancellor , and he who uttered that sentiment had never been even threatened with a prosecution for exciting hatred and ill-will amengst her Majesty's subjects ^ Every event , in his opinion , was accelerating tbe Repeal - ^¦ the result of the trials had put it beyond doubt . The bridge was cut away , and henceforth no one would dare to propose a compromise to any ministry—( bear , hear , and loud cheers ) . He ( Mr . O'Brien ) had hesrd the

      complaints of the Irish people treated not only with indifference but'with contempt by the British legislature , and therefore he was a Repeater—( bear , hear , and cheers ) . He had beard tbe ministers of the religion of the people vilified and loaded with the most opprobrious vituperation , amidst tbe cheers of a bigotted assembly 1 and he would , therefore , call on the members of that religion one and all to become Repealers . The Hon . Gentleman then alluded to Mr . Sheil , and thus continued : who was it tbat enabled you , Richard Shell , to wear a silk gown ? O'Connell . Who enabltd yon to become a member of Parliament ? O'Cennell . Wbo enabled you to become a privy councillor ? O'ConnelL Where are you now—( loud cheeis ) ? He ( Mr . O'Brien ) would tell him , that there , In the Conciliation Hall , he ouebt to take bis place , guiding his countrymen by his

      counsels , and Inspiriting them by his eloquence—( tremendous cheers ) . Evei ; man ought at tbe present juncture to conduct himself as if the achievement of this object depended on bis individual exertions . For himaell he weald listen to no proposal short of absolute Repeal . The Honourable Gentleman having eulogixed the temperance movement , said that he had made a resolution which , with the assistance of heaven , be would maintain—it was that no intoxicating tfrfnlc should euter his lips until the Union was Repealed—( cheers ) . The Honenrable Gentlemani concluded by Baying that . it was by peaceful means the battle wm to be won . If force were necessary he knew full well that there would be no deficiency of persons ready to r isk their Uyes and fortune * in the defence of ttieit country ^ doud and continued cheering ) ; - _ T \ htaded in the of
