      wsrk&otue , ¦ where , ho * ever , the crowds must bs excessive , for the pauper children have ail bees re . moTtd froia the hou'e and located in various part 3 of the Tillage . Many person ? , such is the pressure of tfae poor rate , who ' are abb t ? pay even the last rate , » re now themselves seeking admission to the workhouse . Abundant employment could bs found for all the able-bodied , and maintenance would be afforded tMr families , if the landlords would improve their Iasds in this quarter , where the wastes are rejy extensive—bnt they will do nothing they can avoid .

      The Condition of Northern Tippcm ? appears to bs pitiibly distracted ? , nd distressed . It a'ems there are in Nenagh Union not less tban 16 , 000 persons receiving out'door relief daily , and yet we learn from local sources that the town 13 every day overflowed ¦ with paupers who are in so wretchedly destitute a « tate , tint they commit trivial larcenies for the purpojs of being committed to prison . The poor-law tmitin , S 3 may be well concluded , 13 in deep embarrassmert . The expenditure ia food alone in the nnion £ s £ i 32 3 j H- week'y- and the weekly receipts of rates do not exceed £ -350 ; the canFequenca is , that the debts of the union , on the 31 ; t of May , were

      £ 3 . lo 2 exclusive Gf those due tor primary advances end under tha Relief Act . Ths uncollected ratea amount to £ 6 . 000 , aud th 9 guardians have received an intimation that they must forthwith Btrike another , which shall cover net ctfy the estimated expenditareofthe union , bnt also the 3 i . in the pound instalment on the relief sdvatice 3 which were poatpoEai collection in consideration of th 3 dit-tres 3 . The guardians do not appear ready to deal with a case of such difficulty , and h is not unlikely that paid gaardians will be sent ta that union also . As might perhaps bs expected in such a condition of society , there have been three nocturnal attacks on honBea ¦ within the week—a ssrions number in summer

      penoa . The fearful Etate of tfee poor in the Nenagh nnion day bs inferred from the fact that sixteen thousand of the labouring cl&sses are at this moment in receipt of relief under the second section of the Irish Poor Relief Extension Act . Yet , notwithstanding this , and the overcrowded state of the workhonee , the streets ot Nsnagh are daily thronged with crowds of po ir , several of whom commit petty offenses for the only purDose of being committed to gaol . Tha Mato Telegraph sives the following fearful description of the state of Castlebar : —

      ' On approaching the workhou ? e we found it necessary to rue much force to make an entrance into the vast mass of half dead human beiags , whose screams were sufficient to strike terror into the bearfc of the ' northern tear , [ were he an eye and ear witness of the scene . At that time , though an esrly hoar , there could not have been less than 3 000 applicants for food ; but what contributed to fill op the space along the three angles of road _ in front of the workhouse was the numb ? r of asses with baskets filled with children , drawn up in regular

      array . The numb 3 r of those qaadrcpeds on on side of the road were found , on counting , to ba eightysis ! Owing to the great pressare on the opposite aide , wa could make no calculation of the number of asses drawn up there . We reslly did not believe that so ciany of those animals Earvived that starvation which has committed such havoe in the Castlebar Unien , from the number slaughtered for human suitenancs . Oh ! God . look with mercy on the poor , thus driven to tha desperate alternative of eating as 3 flesh .

      ' We afterwards , at the dead hour of night , saw Jiuadreola of those victims of landlordism and Gregoryism sinkingon ourfl 32-waysl We saw the inhabitants , with lighted candles in their hands , administering stimciants to the wretches , as they lay on the Btreets , emitting green froth from their mouth ? , as if after masticating soft grass ! We hare beheld this sight , reader ! and it has made an impression on onr" mind which must be lasting . ' Again we ask , when aad where will this end ? Surely not until the preaent race of paupers are

      cumbered with the dead . We are unfortunately in a position to prove thi 3 to the satisfaction of our readers , from the fact of thousands who hitherto Trerepoor-rate payers , " now houseless beggars ' , and wandering skeletons , lying in tha streets aid in ths fields . Others will be soon aided to the list We willnow conclude with stating , that on Thursday eTeaing there could not hare been less than 4000 applicants for relief at the workhouse ; and that this number , large an it m&y appear , is but as a drop of rain falling to the ocean to those who were there on the followingday .

      ( From ovr own Correspondent . ) Dcbun , Jclt 3 , 1818 . Poor Tom Steele . His remains arrived here on Tuesday evening from London , and haTe been 'lying in state' all the week in Conciliation Hall . About half past nine o ' clock on jhe above-mentioned evening , the bady of the poor enthusiastic ill-treated , unfortnaate Steele , arrived ia the Liffay , on board the Bake of Cornwall steamer , commanded by Captain Hkginson . The vessel left London on Saturday morning , and had a rough ani disigKeible passage . It was not expectei on that evening , so that very few witnessed tha ' landing' of the remains of the dead * Pacificator . On Wednesday morning , about eleven o'clock , the coffin waa removed to Conciliation Hall ,

      where the arrangements for the ' lying in state , ' had bsen nearly all effected . Tempted by the glowing descriptions of the newspaper haBkeiers after ' Tfce HaH * I went down to Burgh Qaa-y on Thursday eveniog , to get a peep a * this much-bruited 'lying in state . ' I found ho difficulty in gaining admission . Oa entering the 'House of Mourning , ' I found the arrangements for the Eolemn occasion respectable enetwb , certainly , but' tell it not in Gath' —who did I find aroand the coffin of the gallant poor Steele , acting as' mutes' and monrnera , and keeping watch and ward , but , twelre or fifteen sturdy ' coal porters ! in all the grim and dirty paraphernalia of their every day avocations . Was not this scandalous ? After tkis who will b ! uah to speak of Conciliation Hall patriots ' . ' .

      . _ , Why were noi the remains of pcor Sleelc Committed to the dirty watera of the Thames or left to moulder in Saxon clay , rather thaa bring them over here to add freih ridicule to the country , and pile additional odium on the people still connected With that disgraceful Conciliation Eall ? This day the funeral will take place . There will bs a public procession , bat I think if tlnse who are getting up thi 3 exhibition would be 3 t consult their own interests , or Hie re ? pect which , is due to the memory of the dead , they would not parade their own meanness and imbecility thronoh the public street ? , where poor Steele , not long ago . walked , the honestest and the mswt disinterested amongst the whole fraternity . _ . ...

      . I mentioned , I think , in my last communication , last the name of our illustrious countryman CarletOD , had just bssn added to the pnblje pension list , and that ha is henceforward to receive an annuity of £ 200 from government . Few in Ireland do not rejoice at this , S 3 there are few batter entitled to reward , or whose name sheds more lustre on Ireland than the inimitable novelist Carleton . The World newspaper is the only public print in Ireland which has » poken disparagingly of Car ' elonon this occasion . This filthy fellow ( who , by the way , loses no opportunity of pouring hb frothy slaver on Feargua O'Cosnor and the Chartists ) , ha 3 been assailing our illustrious cauEtrjman in Ms last publication , and , &s far ai in him lay , holding him up to public disrepute .

      _ .. .. „ .,., The preliminaries for the formation of ' The Irish league' go on swimmingly . The public voice i 3 for Union , and ererything augura well for the future . Most of the Catholic clergy have already given in their adhesion , and this ia the best guarantee for the soce ssof the Irish League . ' Until fehe Catholic clergy , or a majority of them , would ceme into the opinions of the Confederation , tint gallant body oould nor , aad never would , possess that loflaencs « a the csuntry so essentially necessary to the attainment of their objects . Bat now this obstacle will be

      removed , and already thB adhesion of tha priests is striking terror into the enemy ' s camp . In a few days I cspe to Ees the ' Leagua' in active existence . and though all tha people may not coma ints this as-KKttEtiOB at enco , a tew weeks' trial will convince the public that there is no hope , nor remedy , nor safety , for Ireland , but in the ' League . ' Everything premise ! well , and lbs new ^ organisation , as it will be the only honest or efficient one which We ever had , will be fully adequate to the performance of the gigantio tasfc which it ia pledged to

      perform-. July . 4 th . —ThO 3 . Stceleis in hisllaat resting plase . The funeral ef the ' Head Pacificator' took place yesterday—and , oh ! such a funeral ! Were there nothing else to be urged against Conciliatien Hall and * Old IreIand , ' Tem Steele ' s funeral would beenough , and mere thaH € nough , to damn them tefore the world . In my letter of yesterd ay I gave a brief cutline of tae ' Lying in St&te '—vulgo , tha' wake of poor Stsele . ' I often was amused with , often laughed at , the vagaries and simple bombast of the' Pacificator , ' bat I alff £ * s considered him as an honest , Bincere , faithful . hearted and enthusiastic creature , totally devoid r . f the low trickery , the selfiah chicanery which marked the character ot too many of the Conciliation eoul above

      HallSChemere . Steele bad * meanness ; be knew nothing of the dodgery' of Bur h q-iay ; he believed it to be the focus of all tbafe was great , and glorious , and promising , and he clung to O Connell with ths most romantic devotion and nndying fidelity . Here poor Steele betrayed the imbecility of his judgtxect , and his ignoranoe of the worst features _ of pnb : io character . But , nevertheless , tnouga a mistaken disciple , ho was an honest Ean ; and I fetl Dot & doubt , that had the O'Conneli policy been of the Mitchelsehori , there would not have been a braver or more chivalrous man follow the ' lelon * flag than he ; » nd Tom Steele wou'd as cheerfully gra 3 p pike or rifle , as he did the olive branch or the roll of hemtee pirchment from tha head-quarters of

      • moral— dela « cn . Ho'diDg these opinionB , judge of my disgust at « &eing the ridiculous manner in which the brave fellow ' s remains wera treated . I often aaw a more reewsctsbJe aad more decorously condncted funeral in die interior of the country . At one o ' clocK , or thereabouts , the proc&aion left Bargh-quay , and after ptaiag through sane of the principal streets , I met

      it in Dame-Btreet , near the foot of Cork-hill . It was preceded by perhaps five hundred little ragged urchins , of bo'h sexes , soreeching , laughing , and jostling , each other The body came next , in a small hearse , drawn by six horses with white plumes , as the deceased was unmarried . After the hearse came two mourning coaches , and then came exaotly eleven private carriages , including those of the Lord Mayor , the O'Connell ' B . and Sir Simon Bradstreafc . Some few members of the corporation were there too , bat with these exceptions , there were not fifty persons with mentionable names in tha procession . After those few carriages ( the Fbsbmjln ' 8 Joubnal reokona tweaty-five of then ? , ) came fifty or sixty jaunting cars , two-thirds of which were had for hire oa the ' car-stands' of the city . The whole passed by at & Bling-trot , causing much confusion , and some danger

      in the streets , from the rushing of the pedestrians to shua the carriages , or get a glimpse of the raree procession . In this manner they reached the beautifnl Roman Catholic Cometry of Glasnevin , where at one of the principal entrances the body was taken from the hearse , and , as thay said it was too heavy to be carried by men , it was relied on a machine like a grocer ' s hand cart , to the vault where it was finally deposited . The buri al service of the Church of England wa 3 then read , by the Rev Mr Maturin ; the audiencs conducting themselves very reverentially . Thua ended the farce , and the disgrace which attaches to those who should do better' by the ' Head Pacificator' la as universal as it deserved . Nothing could mark the ruin of Conciliation Hall and the worthlessness of its staff more conspicuously , than the ' Wake and funeral of hosest Tom Steele . '

      The CommisBion ef Oyer and Termmer opened on Saturday last ia Green-street . Amongst the mo 3 t remarkable cmvictisns whioh have as yet been effected is that of a young man , named Patrick A . lcock , a batcher by trade , who was sentenced to 15 years transportation for stabbing Sergeant Kingsley , of the detective policeJiuM a pike , on the night ot the 26 h of June last . A riot occurred in Ball-lane , a low , depraved locality , at a late hour on that night , in which Alcook waB a principal . The ' detectives' were on bait , and having interfered with the rioters the butcher ran in for his pike , and stabbed Kiagsley in the head and leg . The man was but very slightly maimed , and is now quite recovered , bat poor Alcock , must' pay the piper' daring fifteen yearn exile in annther land .

      Thoma 3 Devin Reilly , the principal editor of the Felon , i 3 on his trial to-day , true bills having been found against him yesterday for marching and drilling' large body of rcen through the streets of Dublin on the occasion of the great Confederate meatingat IJell-view , on the 20 ih of May last . It is supposed he will be convicted , and punished , too , with the utmost rigour which the jury-packera have power to inflict . True bills have been also found against Andrew English and thirteen other young men , for unlawfully drilling and practising military evolutions in a house in Ship street , on the night of the 18 th of April last . Tkey sre on their trial to-dsy likewise . There is a rumour that Mr Maarioa O'Connell will be put in nomination for the Lord Mayoralty of this city for the forthcoming year , and there is no doubt of his election , a ^ the Conciliation Hall clique have preponderating influence in the corporation .

      Two o'Clock . —More newa ! more ' felons —another job for perjured sheriffs and packed juries ! Warrants for the arrest of John Martin , and J . D . Reilly of the Felon , are in the hands of ths police . At an early hour this morning the offioe of that journal ia Trinity-street , was invaded by a pots * of police in quest of Mr Martin . That gentlemen did not sleep in town last night , and he i ? , as yet , at large , the police not knowing whero to pounoe upon him . The letters of J . F . Later , Esq ., are said to contain the matter on which the informations have been based . I saw Mr Lalor this moment at the door of the Feloh office . He had but just arrived , and seemed surprised at the crowd who thronged Trinity-street . lie could give no further information on the subject than what I here relate .

      A report is ia town that the typaa find printing materials of the Felon have been seized on by the authorities of the government . This rumour I know is incorrect , as no law can justify the carrying away of a man ' s property on mere suspicion of his being even a Fblqn . I have just ; heard that Mr Reilly was arrested in the Court-house , in Green-street . It is very probable . The pike of the unfortunate Alcock has bean this day transferred from the witness table ot Greensfcreet , and deposited in the castle ! Glorious trophy of a glorious trinmph ! Tehee o'Clock . —Tha crowds have retired from the Beighbsurhood of the Fslos office . There is a 1 tceli dressed ' ' detective' standing opposite the door . He spjrts a jaunty silver-chain guard across his breast , tie is as ugly-looking a do | as the deteetiva force cm boast of .

Mr Sparkes said that for some time past he had been acquainted with the prisoner , and on the previous evening , betwaan the hours of 7 and 8 o ' clock , Bbe called and seated herself in bi 3 shop . He told her that if shs created aDy disturbance he would give her into custody , and sent hi ? jeuag man out to fetch a constable . In the mean time he said to her that it would be better if she walked with bim to the station-house , instead of going with a constable . She consented , and they walked there together , when the prisoner struck him on the road . At the station , he stated his cue to the inspector , who al'owed her to depart , at the same time

      cautioning her not to annoy him any more . He returned home , and about five minutea afterwards sfie entered his shop , and taking up a shoe brush , flung it at him with all her might , and cut his forehead very seriously , itflictiDg a wound from which a great quantity of bloed flowed . She had several times threatened to murder him , but he waa willing to look over the assault if the alderman would bind her over to keep the peace . —Alderman Salomons wished to know if the prisoner had any claim on him . — He replied that Bbe had not . —Henry Mill ? , 352 , said " , that he w * s sent for by the complainant , who was bleeding rather profaBely , and he took the prisoner into custody . Oa the way to the station house she said she hoped he would die , aTid then she should hang happy , for

      he was an eld rogue . On being searched , 3 s . 10 J . was found on her , besides a duplicate and some keys . —The prisoner here exclaimed that Bhe did not wish Mr Sparkes dead ; what she said wa ? , 1 that she hoped he would not die , as he wa 3 not worth hanging for . '—Alderman Salomons wished to know what answer Bhe had to give for assaulting the complainant . —Hayes replied that she had b ? ea intimately acquainted with Mr Sparkes for the last two years , and about eight months ago he promised to marry her , but latterly she had found out that he was about to take anothsr wife to his b 086 m and cast her off , which certainly exeited her feelingc , as she waB really much attached to him , althaugb . it turned out that all his professed love was anything but tree love . She certainly went to his shop to wish

      him good by , and see if he would give her some money to purchase a change of clothes to enable her to obtain a situation , as what she had was detained for rent . He offered her \ Qi ., at the came time saying that he could never marry her , but he would always bs a friend to her . She told him that was not enough . He refused to give her more , and the previous evening she called at his pbop , and ha treated her S 3 if she had been a stranger to him—asked her what she wanted , and then gave her into cuBtody . — Alderman Salomons asked her hew she came to throw the brush at the complainant ' s head ?—She replied that she did not throw it at bis head f aha did not do it wilfully . —Alderman Salomons : But suppose you had killed him ?—Prisoner : Then it weuid have been accidental . — -Mr Sparkes here

      observed that ke censidered his life in danger . —Alderman Salomons said that the prieoner had no right to cemmit the assault she had done . —Prigmer ( warmly ) : If yeu had been deceived by a lady , would you not feel hurt and indignant at he ? baseness !—Alderman Salomons i Perhaps eo . —Prisoner : 1 am truly Eorry for what has ocourred , and wiah to drown my thoughts by employing myself in some kind of waTi _ Alderman Salomons : But yon should not have struck him . —Prisoner : Bat ho has atruok my heart , if I have struck his bead . ( Laughter . )—Alderman Salomons said he should require her to find bail , or he mu-t remand her . —Upon hearing this she dropped upon her knees , and implored the alderman

      not to do so , at the same time begging Mr Sparkes not to press the charge , as she would sign her hand to anything , bnt could not get bail . —Tbe ease waa allowed to stand a'ide for a while , and in the meantime tbe proiecutor had an interview with his once intended wife , when he came forward and eaid that he was willing that she ehauld be bound over in her own recognizance to keep the peace . She was then boana over in thesums of £ 20 to keep the peaee for twelve months . Hayes , upon hearing the alderman ' tt decision , left the dock , and , going to the witness box canghthold of Mr Sparkes ' s hand , shook it affectionately , and most devoutly presaeed it to her lips , after which both partiesleit the court .

      THE CHARTIST TRIALS . CRIMINAL COURT-THURSDAY . THE TRIAL OF WILLIAMS AND YERNON . ( Continued from our Sixth page J JossDh Williams , aged 40 . a baker , and Williara John Vernqn , aged 10 , lecturer , were indicted for unlawfully in the presence and bearing of divers fubjpets of our Lady the Queen , uttering certain seditious words against our Lady the Queen , and her Government , dc ? , The Court was not so crowded as yesterday . The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty . Sergeant Allen and Mr Billantyne appeared for Williams ; Mr Parry for Vernon . Williams , who had not been bailed , waa in the dock ; Vernon , who was out oa bail , waa . placed below the dock .

      The Attornbt-General stated the case apinot the prisoners . After saying that he was the last man who would suppress temperate public discussion in the slightest degree , but that he would never countenance acts of violence , which were adopted for tbe purpose of menacing the government , he proceeded to Bay that tbe prisoners were charged with being present at an unlawful assembly . The meeting was held by placard , calling the people to assemble at all hazards ; it waa held late nb night , a Clerkenwell gTeen , in defiance of the warnings of the government and of the administrators of the law , and at a time when the whole of Eutopo was in a state of commotion . In holding it , no doubt , the partie * who took an active part in it , the heads

      of the Charti .-t body , imagined that they would ba enabled , by disturbing the publio peace , to obtain their ends by violence . Williams was the chairman of the meeting , and Vernon waB in the van , and though he did not take an active part in it , he did in the subsequent proceedings . Williams began by saying , ' My friends , the bloody arigtooracy has done its work , ' and went on to say . ' that if . hey were assailed he hoped they had sufficient energy to defend themBQlveB . He bade them fall into marching order , four abreast , and he would take them to a place where they would meet ten times as many , and where they would be advised what was the best thing to be done , ' The meeting was principally composed of irishmen , who

      Buffering from distress , composed an excited assembly They were spoken too at a time when John Mitchel had been recently convioted , and the words that were spoken by Williams were theae— 'The Gagging Bill had b ? en brought in to murder that honest patriot John Mitchel , by the' base , brutal and bloody Whigs , ' who had accomplished their ends by means of packed juries and partisan judges . ' From the speeches made on the occasion ( all of which he read ) , it wa ? obvions that the people were advised to arm . Ae he eaid yeBterday , all present at meetings of the kind were responsible for the consequences . The people did march four abreast for some time through the

      pnnoipal arteries of the metropolis , causing the ut most alarm . Williams marched at the head of them and Vernon took an active part in the proceedings . In Redcross-street the mob halted at a coffee-house , from which Vernon addressed them , sBying the time had arrived for acting . S jme one in the crowd said ' Come down amoBg us , and we will do it to-night . ' A person named Macartby said , ' No , come again tomorrow night and bring your guns and pikes with yon . ' The mob separated after being told that meetings would bs held from night to night , at Stepncjgreen and other places . The following witnesses were then called : —

      Mr R . Kemmu , who produced the conviction of John Mitchel , for felony . It was handed in , and the words in which Mr Mitchel was convicted were read by the clerk . Mr F . T . Fowier examined by Mr Bodkin—He sai % he had been a reporter to the press for five years . Was at the meeting in quesiioa , at whioh 2 , 000 or 3 , 000 pereons were pre-. ent . Took up his position in a van , in the centre , in which Williams als 9 occupied a place . He first addressed the meeting . Took a note of his speech which was now in

      the same condition as when he wrote it . ( The witness here read the speech from his notes , together with those of Macartby and FusboII . ) Williaraa , at too close of the speeches , said , ' Now , my friends , fall into marching order and follow me . ' The speeches were much applauded by the meeting , whioh consisted of the lower orders , a great proportion of them being lads and boys . The people fell into inarching order four abreast , and proceeded from the * reen . At every point where he noticed the procession , he saw Williams at the lead of ir .

      Mr Parry objected to any evidence being taken with respect to the procession out of the parish of Sfc James ' s , Clerkenwell , on the ground that the indictment charged the defesdants with having committed the offence imputed to them then and there , meaning Clerkenwell-greea . _ Mr Baboh Pakke saw no force in the objection . Tbe offdiice wqb a statuteable one , and the venue was laid is this court . Tha Act constituting tbe eonri gave it jurisdiction over the whole of Middlesex .

      Mr Sbeoeant Allen here interposed , and said , as he waa unable to eope with the evideBce adduced jesterday . and as the same would be adduced today , and not being in a better condition to copo with it , he had advised Ma client Williams to withdraw hie plea of not guilty , and to plead guilty of attending an iLegal assembly . He trusted the acknowledgment of the defendant that he had tranegreoaed the law , now he was better informed , would entitle kim to the indulgence of the ccuit . The Attorney--Gbnsral had no objeotion to this course , if it were sanctioned by his Lordship . It was important to know that the determination of the prisoner had resulted from hia own oonviotion , with the advise of bis couessI , that he had acted in contravention of the law . Mr Sergeant Adams assured the Attorney ^ General that he bad put the proper construction upon the matter .

      The Attorney-General said it bad been his intention , in tbe event of the offence imputed to the defendants being proved—attending an illegal assembly—to have abandoned the ether counts of the indictment . Tbe defendant Williams was then directed to re < tire . He waa acoommodateoVith a seat in the dock , and tbe evidence of Mr Fowler against Vernon was proceeded with . lie said he eaw Vernon in Finsburr-square , near the front of tha crowd , walking arm in arm with two persons . Before the procession started three cureea were given for either the ' b- ~ Whigs ' or the' b—aristocracy , ' he could not aay which . Vernon turned round to him . and aaid , ' I don't like that : curses break no bones . '

      Sergeant H . Hardy , 15 C . corroborated that portion of the evidence of Fowler . Vernon said at the coffee house ' We hare had a Heating to night in spite of finality Jack , and we will have meetings night after night in Clerkenwell and Stepney . ' He bBgan by saying Myrmidons , myrmidons , myrmidons . ' He aleo said the proceedings that night had obeored his drooping spirits ; he should say little , as he was pre pared to act . Some one said from tho crowd , ' Come do * n amongst us , and we will do it to-night . ' Ma . earthy said , ' No , not to-night , oome to-morrow night with jour gnns and plkeB , and we will do it . ' The City polics came up and dispersed the crowd .

      Cross-examined by Mr Parry—Was not a member of tie detective force , but waa present in private clothea . The time was half- past eleven at night . I took notes of some of what waB said . I took notes ol Veroon ' s speech , but Bhortly afterwardB destroyed them , pot , however , until after he had sent in a copy to his inspector . Stood in the middle of the street Waa not near a lamp . ( The witness , at the request of the Learned Counsel , wrete a sentence on a slip oi paper ; he said he appeared to write with great

      idlity . ) He ( witness ) was on the pavement in Finsbury-equare while the proce 39 ion was parading round it . A good man ; respectable persona were in the crowd . Saw Vernon amongBt the procession in the equare . Mr Fowler was recalled , and said he had reason to believe that the orowd waited in Finsbury-square for reinforcements . lie then described the route of the procession . He walked for some diBtanoe at the head of the procession ) and saw that the shopkeepers were bo alsraed that they closed their shops before they came up . There waa much noise .

      Cio > 8-exam ? ned by Mr Parb * : From Vernon ' s way ofsaying he did not like curses , be considered that he wished to depiecate such expressions . Went to the meeting as a reporter . Could not say whethor Vernon got into the van to avoid the pressure . A good many cot up behind and tried to get into the van , but he ( Fowler ) knocked them down . inSrdcr the better to enable him to pursue hia own avocation .

      James Collins , another police-constable , also gave evidenoe to the same effect . Mr Parry took an objeotion to the Attornoy-General ' s examining the witness as to the words used by Williams and Fuseoll when they aaid that they adopted all that had been said by John Mitchel , unless the grounds on which Mitchel was convioted were proved in the ordinary way . The objeotion was , however , after some discussion , overruled , tbe court observing that the indictment of Mitchel ' s conviction , whioh had been put in , was quite sufficient . The record of Mitchol'e conviction was then taken as rcad , and this being the o&es for the prosecution , the jury retired for refreshments , On the return of tho jury ,

      Mr Parbt proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner . If , he said , he could believe that tbe minds of the jury were entirely unprejudiced against the prisoner , the duty which he had to perform on the present occasion would have been much more easy , and of more pleasant nature than he anticipated it would be . If , however , he waa compelled to occupy much of their time , he trusted that the importance of the ca 9 e would b « a sufficient exouso . It had been said that if twelve Englishmen were empannelled and placed in the box , ' and an Attorney-General were to appear before them as a pro 3 ecutor , and say tbat the prisoner had been guilty of disturbing the peace and spea ' ting seditious language , the fear of panio was bo great in this country , in consequence of the

      late events on ( he Continent , that the jury were certain to convict the prisoner . He trusted , however , if they were embued with any prejudice that they would wrestle with it and expel it from their minds . A great deal of abuse had been heaped upon those who were called Chartists , but did they know that Charles James Fox , who was one of the moat enlightened men of his day , gave bis consent and support to the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , including the Payment of Members of Parliament , which part of it was considered bo absurd ? That was in 1780 , before Mr Fox became contaminated with the conduct of Lord North , but ho lived to redeem the errer be had committed by assisting in passing many measures of political reform . The

      Leareed Counsel then referred to the Reform Bill agitation , and quoted passages from speeches delivered by Lord John Russell and others , to show that equally seditious and inflammatory language as that alleged to be used by the prisoser was then utterd with impunity . lie admitted that the meeting on Clerkenwell green was an unlawful meeting , and he resetted that under puch circumstances it should have taken place , boiieving that instead of promoting tho progrees of reform it had , in a great degree , tended to retard it But du'ing the time of the Reform Bill agitation there were repeated instances of monster meetings takiDg place and

      marching in procession through the streets of London to the King ' s palace and the House ot Commons , without any prosecution being instituted by tbe Attorney-General . Iadeed , if the Whiga , instead of being in power were on the opposite side of the house , they would in all probability have given their support to the parties now under prosecution . The jury would no doubt remember tbe trial of Mr O'Connell—the enthusiastic manner in which that eminent man was received by the Whigs in this metropolis , after his trial , and tho fnot tbat the Duke of Bedford and Lord Jonn RusbbII subscribed towards defraying the expense of his defence .

      The Aitobnst-Gbneral took an exception to this statement . Mr Parry said the Attorney-General might take what exception he liked ; but he was epeakisg to a matter of fact , and not to a point of law , and he again repeated , in spite of what had fallen from the learned Attorney-General , that the Duke of Bedford and Lord John Russell did contribute towards Mr O'Connell ' s expense . The Attorney-General appealed to the court whether the learned counsel ought to persist in a statement that could neither be proved nor controverted on that occasion .

      The Court thought the learned counsel ought not to persist in such statements . Mr P ^ rrt said their l ord shipa did not atop the Attorney-General yesterday , when he was alluding to Communism in France , and the horrors which had resulted there from the advocacy of such principles ; and whatever interruption he might meet witfc , no matter from what quarter it came , he was determined to persevere in the course which his deliberate judgment might dictate was for the benefit of hia client . The Logd Chief Justice insisted that the learned counsel was most irregular in making snch a statement . He was desirous to give every possible licence to counsel for the benefit of a client , but if counsel persisted in following the dictates of bis own mind , however irrelevant and opposed to the practice of the court , he for one would protest against such a course .

      Mr Parry oaid , no doubt tho court had decided against him , but there wero numerous instances at the bar where counsel had pursued & course which the bench had pretested against . There was the well-known case in which Mr Cockbnrn was engaged on the Western Circuit , when he told the jury not to pay any attentim to the law which made duelling murder , and was not interrupted by Mr Baron Pstke . The learned counsel then proceeded at some length to observe upon the evidence for the prosecution , and contended tbat there were no sufficient grounds to criminate Vernon . IIbnrt J . Potter ( the reporter ) was then called and examined by Mr Metcalfb - — He attended the meeting on Clerkenwell-green , on the 29 th tf May ,

      as a reporter . The witness Fowler was also there . He saw Vernon get into the van . When the meeting broke up Williams told the people to fall into marching order , and the persons in the van all got out . He ( witneBS ) was the last who remained in the van . The procession then moved off , and in Red Lion-street he saw Vernon and his three friends who were with him go iota a public house , and there he lost sight of them , lie met the procession again at the corner of Wilderness row , and followed it as far Finsbury-Bquare , where he saw Vernon and his friends again He was not able to swear whether Veraon was at the head of the procession . They remained some time m the square , and he followed the prccesBion afcerwards to Dean-street , Soho . He saw Vernon again in llolborn .

      Croas . exanained by tho ATronNKr-GEHSRiLt Ver > non end a man with mustachios got out of the van together . Vernon was present during part of the time tbat Fusaell was speaking , but he could not say whether he was there when he spoke about private aa * saesination . When he saw Vernon in llolborn he waa near Little TurnBtile , waking by the side of the procession . Ho tried to speak to Vernon , as beseemed to be the ruost respectable man in the mob , tor the purpose of knowing what their object was , and where they intended to go . Saw him again opposite the Ltnd and Labour Bank , at the junction with New Oxford street . Re-examined by Mr Pakbt : lie was unable t » get any answer from Vernon .

      Charles Smith , picture dealer and bookseller , in Wardour-street , siid on the day in question be went to the nieetisg at Clerkenwell-green . He arrived a few rainutes past soven o'clock , and saw Vernon get out of the van , and did not see him again until he was in Old-street . He was then walking with another person about 500 yards behind the stragglers of the procession . Saw him again in Finsbury-square ; but he did not appear to be in the procession . Witness then took Vernon ' s arm , and they walked together to a publio house in Chiayrell-atreot for Bomo refreshment , where they remained a quarter of an hour . He

      parted with Vernon at tbe corner of C his well-street , and be then appeared to go in the direction of Moorgate-street . Witness then went ahead of the procession to Sraithfield Market , whero he Baw it pass , but did not see Vernon with it , although he looked in all directions for him . Met the procesaion in Leicestersquare , but did not observe Vernon . Cross-examined by the Attorney-Genkrai ,. —Had only known Vernon as a publio man . ( Laughter . ) He meant he only knew him as a lecturer on phrenology . ' and mesmerism . Had not seen any placard calling the meeting , and attended at the invitation of a perann named Dalrymple .

      Johh Dalryuplb , carpenter and builder In Pulteney-street , Goldeiwquare , who was also present At tbo meeting , gave similar testimony , William Godfrey , a police < conatable , stated that he apprehended Vernon in Sussex-street , foitinhamcourt-road , whioh he understood waa his residence . Tbe witness was crosB-esamincd by the Attorn bt-Gbkeral with the view ot showing that the route it was proved Vernon took was net in a direction towards his residence . This waa the caae for tho defence . The Attornrt-Gbnkral then addressed the jury for the prosecution , and Mr Baron Parks charged the jury .

      > Jury , after a short consultation , desired to retire , and after an absence of thrse-quartera of an hour returned a verdict of Guilty against Mr Vernon on one count , that of attending an unlawful assembly . Mr Vernon will be arraigned to-morrow ( Friday ) morning ! at nine o ' clock , to plead to another indict , ment for sedition , delivered at Daan-street .

The deceased got into one of the Waterloo omnibuses , in Wellington-street , on Monday morning last . The osnibua went on steadily until it reached the other Bide of the bridge , when the driver waa teized with a fit , iBd the horses , left to themselves , started off at fnll gallop . The deceased , seeing the danger , endeavoured to get out , but in doing so he waa thrown violently , the back of his head striking the ground with great force . He was taken to the surgery of Mr Brooks , in the Waterloo-road , and then to the hospital , where he died the same day from fracture of the skull . The conductor waa thrown from the roof , and much hare while endeavouring to assist the driver . The latter was Buoieot to fits , and in

      order to save himself from falling in case bo were attacked suddenly , always took the precaution to strap himself to hiB seat . This strap held him on until the omnibus reached St John ' s Church , when it broke , nnd he fell . He is now in the above hospital , but not in a dangerous Btate . It further appeared that the omnibus company knew that the driver had beea subject to fits but before they engaged him made bim produce a medical certificate that he had entirely recovered . —The coroner remarked tbat as as action fer compensation might be brought before another court ) ha recommended the jury to return their verdiot without expressing an opinion whether it wasan accident or not .

It haa since been ascertained that on Saturday , the day on whioh he should have given up the whole of his books , but did not , he embarked with his wife and children on board the Niagara steamer for the United States .
