      NATIONAL TRADES ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION OP INDUSTRY . "Unionfor at MiUion » Sometime ago Jthe editor of the Times newspaper waspleased to notice our institution in tUe cokom of that paper , in which he designated ua as a '' monster association . " We have a curiosity to know if this appellation wasfapplied to usexclusiTely as a noun of multitude ; if *> , will admit that we are a very numerous body , and we will return him measure for measureby freely admitting that j i 1 i i | ^

      , the numerous extent of his circulation , and , consequently , the multitude of his readers , equally entitle tns organ to tho character of a " monster news , paper ; " but if the editor of the Times meant to say that there is anything monstrous , or that it was ontraryto the ordinary nature of business , that working men , having a unity of purpose , should also have unity of consent and operation , and that they should act upon the same principles and by the same means as other classes of men , for the legal and peaceable attainment of their common objects , such as the numerous members of the Chambers of Commerce , Shipowners' Societies , Agricultural Societies , Society of Arts . Royal Society for the promotion of Science , &c ., &c ; if to refuse to the working classes | , | |

      the right to concentrate their efforts in the same manner as the members of the above institutions ) , be the object of the Times' editor , we must then tell him that such an effort on his part to deter the working men from exercising the same rights that are enjoyed by their more affluent countrymen , justly entitle him to the character of an anti-phiio-monster . We have not immediate access to the number of the Times in which the remarks alluded to appeared , consequently we cannot quote the words ; part of them , however , were to the effect , that if the disputes arising between masters and servants were allowed to remain with the parties themselves , they would soon become settled , but to introduce a " foreign power" ( meaning , of course , the mediation of

      our Association ) , the chances of success would be very doubtful . Now , we ask , are the chances of success in the case and proceedings of the nailers beforementioned more doubt'ul in ultimately arriving at an amicable understanding , than if the vorknien were not under the influence of an institution composed of members of their own order as working men , having the same interests to support , and from amongst whom are selected mediators possessing intelligence and experience in the concerns of their own business affairs ; orwould the differences between them and their masters be settled more to the wishes of the anti-philo-monster * if the most inconsiderate and precipitate of the workmen , acting under mistaken impressions of unmerited wrong being exera 1 , J . ,

      cised towards them , should , in a moment of excitement ^ commit themselves by the commission of some violation of the law towards their employers , as has been the case on former occasions , when such disputes were left to the parties themselves to settle , and thereby render themselves liable to the penal law ? If the editor of the Times hun not been successful in influencing the nailers to act upon their own responsibility , and according to the dictates of their individual judgment , which , in all probability , might have led to such results , or else to remain under the impression of suffering an unjust wrong , lie may perhaps console himself that he has done his best endeavours to effect his object , and therefore claim the credit due to best endeavours , which he is justly entitled to ; and . in like manner , weshall claim on behalf of our association ' s influence , that having done our endeavours to effect an amicable and equitable to tho , 1 ' j [ [ d

      negotiation , according circumstances of the case , and which we hope to arrive at ; but having done our best , and the means we have adopted being calculated to produce that effect , should it so happen , even contrary to our expectation , that our efforts should fail , by either party refusing to abide by our final decision , weshall claim credit for having adopted the best means to produce the best effects that the circumstances of the case would admit of ; on which point we play quits with the anti-philoeditor . We have only to repeat that all our association ' s efforts are directed to effect the greatest happiness of the greatest number , by the most legal / peaceable and equitable means ; but we fearlessly assert that in future , as long as we have a portion of the public press allotted to the advocacy of our cause , we will not tamely submit to be misrepresented without rebutting whatever may be published against us erroneously . a \ V | , | < , , 1 , ,

      The Central Committee of the above asiaciation held theirusiial weekly meeting on Monday list . T . S . Duncombe , Esq . M . P ., in the chair . Aftertheusual preliminary business was gone through , and an immense mas 3 of correspondence read , a deputation waited upon the committee from the Paper Makers of Maidstone , for instructions , rules , Ac , as they are appointed by the seat of government at Maidstone ta visit the whole of their district mills respecting internal organization ; and will , at the same time , advocate and explain the principles and objects of the National Association .

      A deputation also waited npon the committee , from the Surrey block printers , explaining to them a dispute had occurred between them and their employers , respecting an arrangement that would amount to a reduction . Mr . Allen was appointed to proceed to Cray ford in Kent , and take one of their members with him , to see the men and ascertain the justness of the men ' s position , and also to see the employer , if necessary . Messrs . Green and Robson were appointed a deputation to wait upon the ladies' shoe makers of the WesUend of London , who have decided upon calling an en masst meeting for the purpose of discussing the question of the National Association . Mr . Williamson reported he had been to visit the silk pickers of Bedford , near Manchester , who had power to set to work or support the silk pickers in the empty of Mr . Pownall , should he find the represents * tion of the men correct ; was happy to find all the men at work ; returned to Manchester , had an interview

      with Messrs . Kelly and Gilmour ' s men ; found them labouring under very severe grievances , but unfortunately were ineligible to support . The employers , it appears , ! * ' discharged a man named Donnellan . who had been in their employ five years , in consequence of his taking ' an active part in trades union matters . The tyrants did not let it rest here , they put the bar upon him ; when he succeeded in gaining employment fer any other firm , the Messrs . Kelly , onomeoftheir tools , immediately put themselves in communication with his new employer , telling thorn he was an active trades unionist , and consequently a disturber . The consequence in all cases wai his immediate discharge , lie then , in company with Mr . Peel , proceeded to Wilmslow , had an interview with the hand-loom weavers of that place ; feund that a Mr . Holt was compelling some of his men to make the pieces from six to seven yards longer than they had been in the habit of making them . It was then

      resolved" f hat Mr . Peel be instructed to see the employer , and if possible induce him to desist from so unfair a practice . " It was also resolved" That the man Donnellan , upon the statement of Mr . Williamson , be supported by the association . " Mr . Bush reported that he waited on Mr . Woodey , the brother-in-law of Mr . Hollins , at Stockport , relative to the men ou strike , but thit person would not go into the merits of the question , but said , as they ( the firm ) had received a letter from Mr . Marsland , M . P ., they should send him the information ho required . On Saturday he visited Rochdale , and found the carpenters in good spirits , and the number on strike considerably reduced . The fustian cutters ( 158 ) of that district , paid him their levies and contributions . On Sunday he attended a

      meeting of cotton spinners , 37 delegates representing 6 , 000 men . On Monday ke attended a meeting of fustian cutters at Cadished , when they passed a resolution to join , with 2 dissentients ( 130 in number ); he afterwards met the tinplate workers of Wolverhampton , the nailers of Dudley , Netherton , Lye , and Cradley , the sock hands of Oadby in Lancashire , and having waited on the employers ( Messrs . Sturgessand Howard ) , they at first denied that they had made a reduction , but they then admitted it , and said they wouli pay the old prices , if the majority of the masters were paying it , or they could not prove that their price was the best ; but , by a letter from Oadby this morning , he fonnd that directly he left , the masters singled out seven of the men , and refused them any more work at any price , so the Central Committee

      resolved" That the men be employed by tho association as soon as possible , and that they receive pay for this week , till Iheir frames were ready . " The case of the Thurmaston Sock Hands also came on in due form , and is under the consideration of the committee . POTTERIES . —Mr . J . W . Parker , missionary to the association , attended a meeting of the operative tailors of llaniey and Burslem , at the Star Inn , Marsh-street , Shelton , for the purpose of explaining the principles of the association . He wbb lKtraed to with breathless attention , while he descanted at great length upon the operations of the United Tailors' Protection Society , which had been instrumental in pourtraying a greator anioHnt of statistical information as to the depressed and degraded state of the trade than any previous union ; indeed , their condition had been made known by

      the press generally , from one end of the kingdom to the other , and a vast amount of public sympathy hid bean expressed , and some of the largest meetings ever held in the trade , and of the public also , had passed resolutions in favour of the necessity of im-I roved sanatory regulations , at regarded employing the operative tailors in clean and well-ventilated workshops , as one of the surest means of destroying the monster evil—sweating ; indeed , the greatest exertions had been made by the Protection Society during the last three years , but ofn o avail , except demonstrating the fact , that , aa an isolated body , the operative tailors of England are powerless—lor this reason that there is an overstocked labour-market , which can never be absorbed but by the carrying into effect the associative or self-employmentpnn-; ciple , as set forth by the National Association ef

      United Trades . The lecturer demonstrated the power the tailors would achieve by being associated with their brethren of other trades throughout the kingdom , inasmuch aa they ( the trades ) were , indirectly , the means ef perpetuating and upholding the cheap tailoring establishments ; therefore , of all trades , the tailors were deeply interested in the progress of the '' monster association , " as they would be enabled , under the arrangements of the association , to open clothing establishments in various parts of the kingdom and thus release themselves from the grasp of the Moses ' , the Hyams ' , the Samuels ' , the foxes and the wolves , who devour , in the shape of profits , the hard-earned wages of labour . Mr . P . explained also the past proceedings of the association , its origin and present prospects , to the infinite satisfaction of bis audience , and concluded an nddress of nearly two hours and-a-half , amid loud cheers .

      Several questions having been put and answered satisfactorily , a committee was appointed to present a statistical account of the proceedings of the Hanley and Burslem Tailors' Society during the last three years , and a meeting to be called on Tuesday , the 9 th of March , then and there to decide upon forming part of the " United Trades , " resolutions approving of the principles of the association ; and thanks to the missionary and the chairman were passed unanimously . On Wednesday evening , Mr . Parker attended a general meeting of potters at the Christian Brethren ' s meeting-room , Stoke . He full y explained the objects of his mission , and a resolution was unanimously adopted as follows : — " That this meeting having heard the able and eloquent exposition of the

      principles and objects of the National Association ot United Trades , pledge ourselves to organise for future meetings , and during the intervals that we labour to disseminate the principles amon g our fellow-operatives , and induce them to attend . " Votes of thanks were then passed to the lecturer and chairman . On Thursday evening , February 25 th , Mr . Parker addressed a meeting of the China painters and gilders , at the Royal Oak Inn , Hanley . Some doubts having been expressed that the above branch of the pottiug business being of an artificial nature , that the re-prouuetive or self-employment principle could not be made effective in their case , Mr . Parker fully and clearly showed to the meeting that it was equally applicable in their case as in other trades ; in the first place , by increasing the means of consumption ,

      which the association aimed at , working men as well as others would require their productions , and would have them , as the very operations of this association went to create a spirit of emulation , which would enhance the condition of the higher class oi trades , because , if the means of consumption to the working classes were increased , they would necessarily be enabled to have better food—better clothing—and more of it , and their habitations would be better furnished than now ; secondly , he instanced the fact that other trades of a similar character had already started fur themselves , and found no difficulty in finding a market for their goods , even among the higher orders and middle classes of society ; but as the operatives are now situated , living from hand to mouth , they

      are precluded altogether from purchasing the productions of such goods as are created by the China painters and gilders . Mr . Parker exhibited samples of the productions of those trades that were employed by the association . Resolutions highly approving of the principles , and a determination of joining forthwith , were unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was passed to the missionary . Since the meeting , upwards of one hundred names , we understand , have been sent in to forma lodge . On Friday , a meeting of delegates of those trades favourable to the association , was held at the New Market Inn , Hanley . A district meeting was formed , and Mr . Humphries unanimously appointed district secretary . The delegates will meet for the future , on each Tuesday evening .

      On Saturday evening Mr . Parker attended a meeting of crate makers at Longton . He entered into a detailed account of the position and prospects of the National Association of United Trades , and was ably assisted at this and the other meetings by the much respected district secretary , Mr . Humphries . A resolution in approval of the views of the association was carried unanimously , and a delegate appointed to attend the district meeting on Tuesday , with the amount necessary to be sent to the Central Committee for their adhesion . After a vote of thanks to Messrs . Humphries and Parker , the meeting separated .

      In consequence of the objects and principles of tho association having , by the visits oi the missionary , become better understood in Ine Potteries generally , there was a considerable accession ef members to the New Market Tavern lodge on Saturday night ; and notwithstanding the extreme depression iu the potting business , there seems to be a re-action in favour of union throughout the districts . May it continue , and the operatives generally be led to see that the real germs of protection are contained in the National Association of United Trades for the Protection of Industry and the Employment of Labour !

      ABERDEEN , Tuesday Evening . —A public meeting of the trades was held in the National Temperance Hall , George-street , when Mr . Jacobs delivered a lecture on the general grievance of the working class , and the National Trades . ' Association ' s remedies . The lecturer commenced about 8 o ' clock , and entered with much effect into the question , and concluded by showing the worker ' s way to wealth , drawing forth the general approbation of the meeting . At the close the following resolution was carried unanimously : — That we approve of the plan of the National Association as now set forth , and agree to use our endeavours to forward the same , —that further meetings be convened to discuss the subject of joining the same .

      DUNDEE ,. Wednesday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs attended the general meeting of the shipwrights in Peter-street Hall , to give further information and answer questions relative to the Association . Mr . Jacobs introduced his five propositions of advantages that appeared in last week's " Star , " substantiating them with facts and arguments . A few questions were asked by several members , and some good speeches delivered in support of the plan of the National Association . No opposition was offered , and the roost perfect brotherly feeling was evinced throughout , and the following resolution was carried unanimously : —

      That we , the shipwrights , being fully convinced of tho efficiency of the National Trades Association , do hereby join from the 1 st day of March . A vote of thanks was passed to the missionary , who returned thanks and retired , as the meeting continued to make the necessary arrangements for paying the first month's subscriptions . Thursday evening , Mr . Jacobs met the Plasterers , the Cloth Lappers and Packers , when after a most pleasing inquiry into the plan of the Association , those bodies agreed to Join forthwith . Saturday , Mr-Jacobs was engaged in Glasgow investigating the statement of certain proposed reduc tion of prices ; and has the pleasure to announce the odious proposals are foregone .

      MANCHESTER . —Mr . Peel reported that ha attended a meeting of fustian-cutters , miners , and others , at Harrowgate-brow , near Rochdale , on the 22 nd ultimo . A numerous and attentive audienco liitened with evident satisfaction to tho explanations offered by Mr . Peel , showing the superiority of the National Association , as a means of rousing the wording classes of every denomination from their present depressed condition . He showed how the profits arising from the manufacturing operations oi the Employment Association would swell their funds in a progressive ratio , and enable the directors gradually to extend their operations until a tirno would arrive—not so far off , perhaps , » a some might imagine—when every cotton mill , with its elaborate and extensive machinery , would be in their hands , and

      exercising its gigantic powers for the advantage , and not to the injury , of the sons and daughters of toil . He showed the blessings which would follow the working-out our object . He illustrated to his hearers the perfect reliance oi on * trade upon another . If ( says lie ) the working classes , by the union , arm the Board of Directors with the necessary funds , by taking shares in the company , what difficulty will there be for the Association to weave , cut and dye their own fustian ? what then to prevent our unemployed tailors from making up these into jackets , trosuers , &c . These goods would then come into the retail market , through the shops and stores of the association ; in every large town in the kingdom , the members would naturally be customers to their own

      shops , and the present enormous profits exacted by the Moses' and Ilyams ' . wolves and foxes , and all such tribes , who are now destroying that important trade , would be appropriated to the extension of this mighty movement , until every trade in its turn would feel the benefits of increased employment and improved wages , bach branch would find their powers of production increasing , in an equal ratio with their means of consuming . Is it possible , asked Mr . Peel , for the most strenuous efforts of the beat constituted isolated trades union ever to accomplish results like these ? He knew that there could be but one answer to this question , the meeting pronounced it an emphatic . No . He then finished his address amidst the applause of the meeting .

      On Tuesday night he attended a meeting of the hands of Messrs . Kelly and Gilmour , cotton spinners of Manchester , relative to as expected reduction threatened by that firm . He listened to the partieulars of the case , cautioned the hands , in all they did , to avoid any infringement either of tho laws of the association or the laws of the land , otherwise they would deprive the Central Committee of the power of serving them . The best feeling waa manifested ; a vote of thanks was given to Mr . Peel for his services on that occasion , and also as a deputation to Kelly and Gilmour upon other grievances , which had to a ercat extent been removed through his intervention . During the remainder of the week , Mr . Peel was engaged , in connection with Mr . Williamson of the Central Committees in Manchester , Leigh , Winslow , and Stockport , upon several missions of delicacy anil importance .

Fitchew , silversmith , Oxford-street . Samuel Hart said that , on Wedne » daylast , he saw thft three prisoners standing at Mr . Fitchew s window . Macgregor was cutting the window with some instrument , Biggs was standing behind him so as to screen him , and Mott was waiting by Macgregor ' s * ide with a basket ready to receive the plunder . Macgregor having succeeded in cutting through the window ,

      immediately took out of a csse a knife and fork and spoon , that were exposed for sale , and put them in Mokt'i basket . Witness immediately went forward and secured Mott ; the other prisoners ran off . Poliee constable Cobsens , D 33 , said he took Biggs and Macgregor into curtody , and he knew that both were bad characters . He had seen Mott , who wns au errand-boy to a doctor , in Macgregor ' s company , and had warned him against keeping such bad company . He believed Mott had been drawn into the offence by the other two boys . Mr . Bing . ham said he should make a difference in the case of Mott K ; mmuS fri 8 ndS l ° baiU ' A " thre ° ° ' S Were

      On Monday , Frederick Howe was re-examined before Mr . Broughton , on a charge of having stolen fifty yards of va-Such Tw ? ,- r ' « P « t warehouse in Shoredncb and William Howe , his brother , who then kept a small butcher ' s shop iathe nei ghborhood , was charged with having feloniously received the property The piece of carpet was proved to have been carried to the premises of William Howe , tho butcher , who afterwards quitted his shop and disappeared . His brother Frederick , who had been the prosecutor ' s errand-boy , baa absconded immediately after the robbery , and it wa « subsequentl y ascertained that he and a companion , named Nichols , who was said to have actually carriei ) off the carpet , started to Hull , but in about three weeks

      , having squandered their ill-gotten money , they returned to the nei ghbourhood of Peckham , where Frederick scraped acquaintance with a young servant girl , whom they persuaded to quit her situation , and accompany them to Jersey . While they were waiting , however , for the girl to receiveher wages . on which they depended for travelling expenses , Policeman Halton of the P divisian , took Frederick into custody , but tho other , Nichols , unfortunately escaped . Theprisoner , William Howe , was afterwards apprehended , and he admitted that a piece of carpet had been brought to bis house as described , hut asserted that ho did not know nho brought it there , nor what became of it . It wa 9 in evidence , however , that ho had himself offered it for sale . Mr . Broughton committed both prisoners for trial .

      CLBRKENWELL . —Police Doings . —On Tuesday last Mr . Wm . Bacon , the proprietor of the Free Trade Coffeehouse , Gray's Inn-lane , appeared to a summons at the instance of the police ( G division ) , charging him with having permitted disorderly conduct in his house , contrary to the statute , « fcc . Mr . Duticombe , the solicitor attended for the defendant , and said that , on the 10 th of February , the police entered the house of his client , when a person named Murtin interfered with them , and he was taken into custody on a charge of assaulting them in the execution of their duty , and it was alleged that on the way othe station house the officers struck and kicked him in an unnecessary aud violent manner , He was locked uji , and on being brought before Mr , Combe on the following morning , Martin exhibited a black eve , and was

      in a very feeble condition . The witnesses for Martin stated that the police wantonly rolled him in the snow , dsc , when Mr . Combe would not decide upon the charges summarily , but preferred sending the matter to be tried bj a jury , and admitted Martin to bail , to appear at tin-Sessions . Since then a complaint had been maile to the Commissioners of Police against the officers for misconduct . Very soon after this complaint , the present summons was taken out against his client , and a * the former charge against Martin was to be tried at the Sessions , he , Mr . Duncombe , respectfully submitted that the hearing of the present complaint against tiie defendant ought to stand over until Martin ' s case was decided upon at the Sessions . Mr . Combe wou ' . d not accede to a postponement of the case , as it would be granting a 6 ort of licence to

      the defendant to act with impunity until the case was tried at the sessions , The case might be proceeded with , and if there was anything in it that rendered a postponement necessary they mi ght depend upon it he would do every justice to all parties . After hearing evidence , Mr . Combe said , I don ' t see how 1 can proceed further with the case . The defendant is charged in the summons for " unlawfully and knowingly permitting or suffering disorderly conduct in his house . " The police are called in to interfere , and he ( defendant ) called upon them to turn the parties out , which they refused to de , and left the place . Mr . Duncombe : Ay , Sir ; although they actually saw an assault or bresich of tho peace committed , they would not clear the house or take the parties into custody , Mr . Combe : Why , what the police prove is quite the

      reverse of that which they allege . Mr . Duncombe : The police seem to act under a very extraordinary misunderstanding of the law , that they must not interfere with what takes place inside a house , A licensed victualler , the other day , was nearly killed in his own housa because thu police would not interfere ; yet , by the sama law . they were empowered to enter every respectable licensed victualler's house whenever they thought proper . No gentleman was safe in his own house under such a state of things . Ho mentioned aa instance where a party broke Into a house ond took away stolen property , and because the thief told the police that it was a question of rijh between debtor and creditor , the police would not interfere . After some further conversation Mr . Combe said he would dismiss the case .

      Heavy Ptsalties . —G . Smith was charged , at the instance of the Excise , with having unlawfull y in his possession a quantity of illicitspirits , without a permit , contrary to the statute of Cth Geo . IV ., chap . 80 , which subjected him to a penalty of £ 100 , or six months'imprisonment . It appeared that some Excise officers wire searching a house in Bullock-alley , Whitecross-street , St . Luke ' s , where "jigger" spirits were sold . A knock csnne at the door , which being opened , the prisoner was found with a banket containinj three bladders , in which were five gallons of illicit spirits . The prisoner had no permit , and he was taken to the station house . Ou inquiry , at 4 , Clark-court , which address ^ the prisoner gave , he was found not t » bo living there , but at No , 0 , George-street , Camberwell , where the officers discovered a private still

      at work , which they seized . A turnpike ticket was found in the prisoner ' s possession , from which it was evident that he must , just before his apprehension , have driven through the Geren Man gate , near Camberwell . — Mr . Greenwood convicted the prisoner in the penalty of £ 100 , or sis months' imprisonment , leaving him , if be thought proper , to apply to the Commissioners of Excise . THAMES . —Singular Hallucination On Tuesday last , Mr . Joseph Assender applied to Mr . Yardley for his advice under tho following circumstances . He stated that some months since a woman and her son occupied the house , No . 37 , Chapel-strect , St . Georgc ' s-in-the-East , belonging to applicant ' s father-in-law . As fat back as eight weeks since the woman died ; and her son , who entertained ( notwithstanding the appearances of de .

      composition that presented themselves ) the strange delusion that his mother was not dead , refused most positively , in defiance of the wishes of tho neighbours , to have the corpse interred . Applicant had himsolf seen the body , which was absolutely covered with a blue mould . The party complained of also refused to pay any rent or to quit the premises . —Mr . Yardley thought it would be most proper for the parochial authorities to interfere . In his opinion they might remove this as well as any other nuisance ; or , if the nuiBanee wcru not removed , they might indict the party offending at tile Old Battey . fpOW-SrilEET . —On Tuesday , t . vo respectable looking men , named William Jenkins and Frederick Williamson , were brought before Mr . Jardine , charged with having attempted to obtain goods by false pretences . Mr . Prew , clothier , of High Ilolbom , said ou Monday tlio two prisoners camo into his shop and picked out articles of clottdug , in payment of which Williamson tendered a

      cheque purporting to be drawn by Charles Kinnaird , in favour of Williamson on Messrs . Ransom ofPall-maU . He told them he was not in the habit of taking cheques ] excep ; from persons whom he knew . Williamson said he lived at 31 , Grav ' s-iun-road , and wrote that address on the back of the bill . He then said to Williamson , he would send to the bank , and having sent his clerk , the prisoners went away . When he returned he told witness that there were ne effects at Messrs . Ransom ' s . Soon after his return , Jenkins camo in aud asked for his change and parcel . Told him he thought all was not right . Called a constable and gave him into custody Williamson came also some short time afterwards , and " he gave him . uto custody . William Stroud , shopman to Mr . Irew , said he presented the cheque at Mrs Ran . som s and was . told there were no effects . Mr . Jardine said this was a serious charge , and ought to bo fully in . quired into . He should remand both prisoners , to enable thepol . ee tomakeinquiries , andfor theproduction of tho clerk from Messrs . Hansom ' s

The witness evinced considerable excitement in

      cross-examination , and observed that he was not to be browbeaten , although he wjs merely asked if ho wbb & friend of the complainant . Jas ; Hay , the servant of Mr . Lrjuhart , who was also present , corroborated the preceding evidence , and stated , that he followed BeniowBki back into the hall after the assault , nnd gavo him in ciinrgp . The defendant then addressed the court on his ! 'T . n ¦ Ho sai ' > ho had no intention to plead Not Guilty" to this charge . He ( defendant ) was aware inlus serious position , and hence he craved the attention of th e court to a short history of his ense-relying on us character , well known in tho neighbourhood ( where lie had reside I many years ) for the credit to bo given to his statement . He u ^ hoaya 0 { Mr # \ 3 rqu ^ art many y art ago , and had greatly admired his writings and public exertions in the cause of the l » oleg , until , ¦ n 1840 , his attention was drawn to the oxtraordi .

      nary imputation upon his ( defendant ' s ) character , contained in the pamphletprodueed . Ho at onco believed there was somo mistake , and felt anxious to obtain an explanation . With this object in view , ho applied to the publishers of the pamphlet , but could not learn the residence of the author . Prom time to time he was referred to Duke-strett , to the Travellers' Club , the Union and other clubs , but was still unable to meet with him . The tffeet of tha imputation on his character was hia utter ruin , an 1 it was only by a severe struggle that he was enabled to recover his position ; for whilo others could treat Mr . Urquhart ' s charges with contempt , he wns seriously affected by them . Lately he heard that the complainant was connected with the Morning Pott , but he was still unable to see him ; and afterwards , ou tilling a traveller that he wanted to meet him , hi * r . ply was , " I wish you may get him . The people of Glasgow ha-se

      rlacnrded the walls for him . and would be glad to see him also . " At length , while sitting in the hall .. n Wcdnesdaj afternoon , he unexpectedly heard the chairman announce Mr . Urquhart ' a name , ond being determined togetapersonalixplanntiou hefoUowod him into the vestibulo , and politely requested nn interview with him . The monu-rit he mentioned his name , however , Mr . Urquhart treated hii » i _ " with the utmost contempt ; he felt determined to speak to him , and tried to detain him for that purpose—without intending , however , to inflict any injury on his person , which must have bjen caused by the rings ou his fingers er his coat buttons . The defendant concluded a loHg speech by declaring his adherence to the Polish c . iuse , and bis abhorrence and indignation of . the groundless calumny of Mr . Urquhart , tvhoso name was not more hated in Uusiia thau his ( defen . dant's ) own .

      Mr . Henry then committed the defendant for trial at the Middlesex Session ' s , subsequenily accepting bail for his appearance to answer the churge .
