      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . * Words are things , and a tmall drop of ink Falling—like d « w—opoa a thought , produces That which makjs thousand ! , pertapg millions think . ' BitoH . ' THB FRENCH REVOLUTION , versiu BARON BALDERDASH BROUGHAM . Brother Proletarians , Of late years , so little has been heard of the once renowned' slashing Harry , ' that gome of you may have supposed him to have been really consigned to 'the tomb of all the Capulets , ' If not to some less reputable resting place . But for the occasional galvanic-like contortions of the eld renegade , people .. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ Tr » Tn-n Trr / MiTrT-v-rn / -ir iomin

      might naturally suppose that , after all , his breakneck death , which was reported to hare occurred some years ago , was really no hoax . Indeed , but that < Radical Harry' had show a his intense enmity to the people some years before that precious hoax wes manufactured , there would be good teason to regard the present « Lord Brougham' as only ths vampire-likeness of the once roaring Radical who -was for turning KINGS' HEADS INTO FOOTBALLS ! After all , I despair of convincing those who remember Henry Brougham as the candidate for Yorkshire , that that popular favourite ' is really the identical author of the ' Letter to the Marquis of Lansdowne , ' on the French Revolution . Even if half-persuaded , such sceptics will be likely to exclaim , with Macbeth . —

      The t ! a « s have been That whea the Jieirl was out , the man weald die , And there&a end : fent now , the ; rise again , With twenty moral filicides on flielr crowns I * "Wonderful ! But , to have done discussing tte actuality < of « Lord Brougham , "* there can be no mis * take about his Letter , ' wbfch is as real as ' words' j can make it ; and which is -charged to a supposed gullible public , the very substantial sum of four shillings . I should be sorry to add anythiag that might lead the reader to suppose it worth that sum . la the course of his four shillings worth of balderdash , the ' noble' letter-writer goes out-af his way to insult Lotus Blahc , by sneering at tbat great and good man for taking refuge in this country from She

      bloody—( 'The phrase is Branf / mnt , and not misapplied' )—• designs of his { ottrjeois-enemies . He does more . Authors are proverbially an envious race—there are individual exceptions—and Bho tshasi , who "has written works ^ hichhave already been damned without hope of Tedemption ; and who , when he really shall be dead and gone , has < no chance of being remembered as an author , tbcugh his name may have a shortlived notoriety , asthat of a secondrate political charlatan—alluding toloms Blanc ' s Organisation < qf { Labour—* * , work of which thousands were sold at what was celled the very low ' price of a franc '—says : I read it = at the desire of a friend of the writer , and was % annd in candour

      to tell him I thought it the dearest book I ever : bought . ' Quite-sure am Ithat « wry one who has : bsen fool enough to lay out four shillings on tbe ' Letter' onder notice , will say ^ the same of 'his ' lordship ' s * Ifash . But , friends , -you shall see the wherefore -of the ' noble lord ' 3 slap at Lotot , Blasc ' s hook . The member * of tbe ex-Provisional "Government is the most successful political author in-Europe . The History of Ten Years , has been translated into several languages , and fets sold enormously . The Political - 'PAHesBphy— ( Lord B . ' s very elaborate work' )—on the other hand , has

      been known only to Lord ^ Brougham ' s ' ad . snirers '—a circle ' more select than numerous . ' Brougham himself says , that' thousands weie sold ' of the Organisation of Libowr . The sale of the Poliiieel Thilosopk y ( which I would dare wager no * ten of you ever before heard tell-of ) , may be guessed from the fact , that its author—ao doubt with the view of getting * be unsold stock off his handshas contrived to'insert in his t » sw pamphlet a . j « # of bis precious Pmiosopliy , whioh would da credit to the inventive genius of Professor HoixowAtr * or the departed Momsson . ffhe political < n » ck says : —

      At the deiire of on Vsefal 'Knowledge S K )! ety , and i n constant communication with ear lamented friend and colleBfjae , Althorp , I prepared a very elaborate work . The 'Poutical Paiaos sun . in-wbich the principles of garsniment are folly explained , and the theory ss well as the history « sd practice cf the various constrtn-4 ioni thai have flourished in ancient er in modern times is minutely dtscribed . Uow what would you have more ? Here is the wisdom of Confucius , Moses , Minos , Lyour gbs , Solon , Xuma , Jusrajii&x , Alfred , Jhffersok , &c , concentrated in Lord Brougham ' s

      book ! Here you have the -whole art and mystery of coastitutioa-makingcaade plain 'to the meanest capacity . ' The 6 tuff k warranted genuine ; won-t you buy ? Alas ! no " . There stands ihe ' very-elaborate wori , begun in 1840 , finished 18 < £ 6 , ' ao much waste paper : whilst of that detestable -work Organisatita of £ a&aw , 'thousands were « old . •* "Who'll buy a bottle ? ' was the constant cry of tbe unlucky fellew who possessed the celebrated ' impi'iut ' who'll buy a book 2 ' is Brougha *' * cry , ^ ithas little chance , I fear , of finding a customer .

      whatever chance there might have been previous to last February of disposing of the unsold stock of the' noble lord ' s' ' Useful Knowledge , ' that chance i £ now evidentl y gone . The Revolution which ' in a few hours-destroyed an established monarchy , and created off-hand a Republic , ' being ' wholly at variance with « very principle' of Loud Brougham ' s Political FiUosopAy , that philosophy is clearly done for . Factsarechielithatwlcnadkif , . An * canna be refuted . '

      And the ' great fact' of the February Revolution being wholly &t variance' with Lord Bsougham ' s theories , ' his lordship ' can be no longer regarded , even by his seleet admirers , as an authority in political philosophy . No wonder he objects to ' revolutions made with the magic wand of an enchanter . —monarchies destroyed at a blow , —republies founded in a trice , —constitutions made extempore . ' Such strange doings have totally destroyed the value of his 'very elaborate work . ' Lord Brougham is politically bankrupt his ' trade * is ruined—his occupation gone !* 1 proceed to not ' iee three principal points of Bsodgham ' s 'Letter : * —his railings at the Revolutioa ; his vituperation of the Press ; and bis comical abuse of' agitators . '

      Here I must premise that Bassanio ' s description of Gratieno exactly applies to ' his lordship , as self exhibited in his Letter ;'' Gratiano speaks art infinite deal ef nothing , more than any ether man in allVeutce . His reasons are ae two graks of wheat , hid in two bethels of chtff ; jou shall seek , all day , ere jon find them , and when jou haw them , thtj are not woith the search , ' While admitting that there were some defects in the system presided over by Look Philippe , the * noble lord' contends that all the reforms ' which might have been desirable , were really hardly worth a struggle ; ' at any rate not more than the struggle involved in' the common play of political party' a

      sSraggleof the ' outs' against the ' ing / But a Revolution ! there was no reason whatever why a revolution should have taken place . That revolution he describes as 'the work of a moment ; ' a change 'prompted by no felt inconvenienee—announced by no complaint . Instead of acting iu accordance with the principles of his lordship ' s 'Political Philosophy , ' the indignation of the multitude in Paris suddenly bursts forth ; because the police threaten to stop a dinner and procession , an armed mob resists the authorities ? * * the populace , further exasperated , march to to the National Assembl y [ He means the anti-national

      Chamber of Deputies ] , and withont the assent of any regular body whatever , proclaims a Republic . ' He describes the revolutionists as 'some half-dozen artisans met in a printing office , and leading on two or three thousand in a capital of one million souls . ' Again , he speaks of the actors in the g lorious days of February as 'a handful of armed ruffians headed by a shoemaker and a sub-editor , ' and associated with 'ten or twelve thousand felons , eager for the pillage which they jurely foresaw . ' He add « : — « Yes ! yes ! this is the truth-the terrible truth . ' If « his lordship' had written a' fcrrille lie , ' he would have been much nearer the mark .

      The ' Boble lord ' . ' caiumnias will cot injure the pars and heroic men of the banicadts . Their virtues wer « proclaimed by their bitterest enemies -, and raytl and anitocraticconspirators are living menumentsof the magnanimity of their proletarian conquerors 'Lord Bbocghui' in trying to throw dirt at the founders of the Republio , will but soil hii finrera a ' -eady not too clean . A fe » facts will fully answer Brougham ' s asaertieni that the rtevolafon was ' promoted by no inooivenienoe—annouBoed bj no complaint .

      WHIG PRISGNS ASD CHARTIST PRISCWfERS . 10 1 SS EOXTOK Of IHE HOSTESS * STAX . & £ . —It w& 3 my intention to hava " given a lesgth-«« d description of the treatment to which pelkfeal pruooers are subjected is the yarioua dungeons to whieh Whig duplicity haa . consigned them , and to pnbUA it in a lengthy an £ detailed form in a projected periodical , but as eama disappointment hss occurred . I think it my duty to call public attention to the eEbject , through josr friendly columns , in order te induce the people to cast off their present apathy and gross neglect towards the wives and fami- lies of their incarcerated brethrea . It is perhaps cot generally feoa wa that all the Chartist prisoners con- Saed ia Yorkshire sad Lancashire , are subjected to the silent , orseparate system , bsieg confined inEoIittsjesik for twenty-three out of «? ery twenty-four

      hoars , one hoer each day being devoted to what is termed ' exercise / or , in other words a trotting mateb , like so osny hone * . At Kirkdale , where Dr M'Djuall has twe jean te serve , I waadetained fora week ; and , althoegh merely waiting for bail , was p ' a % d in solitary confinement , and treated in the fisme manner as tbe convicts under sentence of ¦ irans portaticn . Dr M'Dauall was ia the same soilding and witkia four cells of ras , and it i s 5 j firm conviction &at unless an eSort be made tc cause his removal that he cannot gsnive the pet&dofbisimpritoament . I contrived to hold a few £ hort conversations with . Lira whilst takipg our ' exec g ise , ' and he request ! his friends to exert themselves in getting him placed as a first-class ffiisdemeanact ; acd to direct atteatien to the case of Mrs M'Dauag .

      He , in common with the other Chartists , is dressed in gaol clothing , and forced like thea te pick woo ! in his solitude . The bread is abamisable , tmng r early black ; I have shown a portion of it to the leading ChattisU ia Manchester , Oldham , Rochcsle , ud Halifax , Kho on tetiiy to ( he truth of fills statement ; and I believe f hat ths whole of our friends in tbe vsrioni dungeon are doomed to similar Ditee , as Igjnerallf found the turnkeys , and other fiffidali , make it their batinec 3 to insult the Cfaarfet pritonere , in addition to enforcing the most rigorens discipline of thepriion . I could give a dismal acconnt of the lock-up ? , and other places where I have teen pest up dnring my late arrests , bntitwou . d occupy too much of you space and perhaps deprive me of the meansof calling the attention of the thousands who have cheered tkese men on , tow to caute them to be placed in their present positionto a tense of their duty .

      , Since I wu last liberated , I have been in leveral towns , ud visited the families of the imprisoned Chartists , acd ia nearly every instance I have found them bLamefulIy neglected—nay . deterted—bj the people . In masy instances the wives and children of b ice of our best men have feen suffered to feel all the honors of starvation . Oh ! shame on the working men for this injustice ! Surely it is enough for oar brethren to ecdate the heavy bodily tufferiog of starvation and Bolitndi , without having their minds tortured by akoowledgeof thepnv » ti « sendured by thsir families . I have conversed with several working

      men on this subject , and they generally stated their willingness to da all ia their power , if proper com taittees were formed ; I , therefore , suggest to the real Chartists tbe propriety of forming small committees in each town , and to forward the name and address of Boms of their number to the Nobthrbn Stab , to which place all subscriptions should ba taken . There * re a large number of men yet to take their trial ? , a geat many in % fow wetki . aad it is high time thit M 8 work w « i vigorously began . 1 an , yonn truly , Gtoaot Wsm .

      S $ , a miUioa ? Und « * K « wd vfa of' K « K Smith . ' . the electors were said to number from 200 , 000 to 250 . C 00 . It U generally believed that the number m ? ot Kall S exceed tw ° hundred thousand . . The regular * placemen' numbered 286 , 000 , exclusive of the clergy , the offioiabof the courts of justiee , the rural police , pensioners , members of the ' legion ^ honour , ' &o ., making an addition of upwards of 200 . 000 salaried servants , or persons attached to the government from private interest ; lastly , those deriving emoluments from various monopolies numbered some 150 . 000 more .

      Thi » gigantio system of patronage was earned on at a coat to the mass of the French people perfeotly inconceivable by tho people of this country . Where the English people pay three millions to the occupiers ef good bsrtbs in the civil departments of the ' public servioe , ' the French , under Lotus Phiuppb , were paying thir teen millions for the same service—mind , I W not francs , but pounds—thitUen millions of pounds sterling ! In the most disastrous yeai of Napolhon ' s reinn the taxes amounted to only £ 28 , 000 , 000 whereas in the last year of thereiga of the 'Napoleon of Peace , ' the taxes amounted to . £ 68 , 000 , 000 sterling ! This was not ail , a deficit was in contse of creation at the rate of £ 44 , 000 a day !

      To say the least , between two and three places wera iu the gift of the government for 67 r / elector . Without any displacement , upwards of thirty thousand of these places must , in the natural course of mortality , have fallen vacant every year . Of coursealmost tho efitire body of electors wera bribed by the government . Under Bach a sjslem , Grjizox knew ho could always count upon a' satisfied majority . ' But the work of corruption and plunder went farther . Every description of malversation was contrived at as long as the cheats and robbers supported the government . Occasionally quarrels amongst the thieves themselves enlightened the public as to tbe manner in whioh this system of wholesale plunder was carried on . The condemnation o » Tests and his accomplices has not yet been forgotten .

      I might string together other' inconveniences' to the extent of a column or two ; but having indicated the principal , I am satisfied that I hive supplied' my ord' Brodseau with a sufficiency of' Useful Knowledge' in connexion with this part of my subject . Bat hessys the Revolution was ' announced by no complaint . ' ' What a blind leader of the blind must be this teacher of'Political Philosophy . ' If there was no complaint why was the Press Ragged , seised , prosecuted , and oer ? ecoted throughout the reign of Louis Philippe ? Why did the scaffold flow with tun blood-of that ' illuBtrioDs Prince ' s' political enemies ?

      Why were tbe dangeons of Saint Pelagic , Mount St Michael , < tc , gorged with political prisoner * ? Why wftsthe said' Prhce' eo 'renowned' for his * capacity , ' compelled year after year te make himself a prifoaer in his palace , or only appear in public when surrounded by thousands -of armed merosnaries ? If there was no complaiat vh&l web the meaning of the Reform Banquets ! and ^ by , at most of those banquets did the guests « ef use to drink the health , or acknowledge the sovereignty , of King Smith 1 Lastly : Why did the Parisians , even on the 28 rd « February , march against the government to the cry < tf' Down with the system ?'

      The inconvenience' ef the system was notorious to every one both fnttid out of France , except those who profited by it ; and the' complaint ' of the overburdened people bad resounded through Europe . Brougham says the Revolution was made by 'half a dozen artisans in a printing-office . ' What better rrwf would hehanre that the system was undermined , rotten , doomed to perish before the first gust of the popular whirlwind ? Really « his lordship ' should go back to-echool ; it mn « t ba a Ion ? time since he and' Useful Knowledge' parted compan y . But , neaeBiary or unnecessary , it is evident that Lord BRoueHiK " would hare been satisfied-with the Revolution , if the 'Revolutionists had only shown the good cense to have consulted his wishes . lie it

      furiously indignant that the Republicans did their work ' without even affecting to ask the consent of any hnman beiBg , or even to appriza any one before hand (!) of i 7 hat they intended to do . ' Ab ! wby did they eo ) apprize Lord Brougham ? Why did they not aak'ftfe' consent ? ' Had they dose so . ' his lordship'would , doubtless , have superintended the whole affair , and conducted the Revolution in accordance with the most approved ' principles of sovernment . ' es explained" * in his Political Philosophy . Had he only been ' called in ' at tbe birth of the Republio he might at this time have been iu champion , instead of its opponent ; and the wearisome task would have been spared me of wading through his four-shilling

      rigmarole-Over asd over agaia , our political philosopher lets hia readers know that he entertains the most sovereign contempt for the men who were placed in power in February—men wha had ' not the shadow of a title to any authority whatever . '— - ' men who with the single exception of my illustrious friend , M . Arago , were even wholly unknown before in ary way even to their very names and existence ; or who were known ss authors of no great fame ; or who were known ss of so indifferent reputation that they had better have not been known at all . ' This laBt character exactly fits ' his lordship ' s' coble self ! The ' noble and letrned' critic also takei care to imprcsa upon bis readers that he has no faith in the Ref uVlic , which -he regards enly as' a panging scene , ' doomed to make way for a return to Royalty ' . He was aot always of this opinion . He denounces the preBa for having , as he asserts , 'joined the causa of the revolution , ' and for * the fawnine position assnmed

      towards the antkora of the convulsion . ' I shall now proceed to show that this same Bbocgham did , at one time , voluntarily acknowledge the ' authority' of the revolutionary government ; did profess unbounded confidtneein the Republio ; and did himself assume a ' fawniEg-position * to the revolutionary leaders , until they cast him from them . I take the following from the Tims : — 'On Friday , April 7 ? h , Lord Brougham , being then tt Paris , wrote a note to M . Chbmibcx , te qnesting letters of naturalisation as early as convearient . On Saturday , April 8 , M . Cbbmhux answered this note , pointing out to Lord Brougham that if Francs adopted him as one of her sons , ha woald ceue to be an Englishman , —he would no more be Lord Brougham —but Citizen Brougham ; end , indeed , w aid lose all the advantages of every kind he pssaessed as an Englishman . On MoBday , April 10 . Lord Brougham , being then in London sent the fallowing reply to the above : — '

      K . le MJntstre , —I bave the honour to acknowledge the receipt of yoor letter of the 8 : h . I never doubted that in being naturalised In Francs I ehoirtd lose all my tights of an English peer and subject in France , and should OBly preserve my privileges of an Eagllfhman in England . In Francs I must be all that the laws of France gr « nt to the citizens of the Republio . As I desire above all things the happiness and the mutual puce of tbe two countries . 1 thought it my duty to tkm ms confidence in Fnnch imiUutiow ly enoouraging my countrymen to trutthiihm as J would do .

      H , BR 90 QH 4 M . ' The very next day , Tuesday , April lltb , Citizen Broughau made a speech in the House of Lords , on the affairs of Italy , in the coarse of which he digressed to France , and attacked the Revolution and the Provisional Government in the most unmeasured terms . He declared he had ' no confidence at alf In the Revolutionary government , and the aoto of that government he held op to ridicule and scorn . The next day , the 12 th , the Minister Cremibdx being , up to that time , ignorant of the' noble lord ' s ' rapid conversion from ' confidence' to' no confidence at all , ' sent another letter to Cit i zen Brougham , explaining more fully and clearly than before , tbat , in order to become a Frenchman in France , ' his

      lordship' must cease to be an Englishman altogether , and all over the world . France allowed no partioip » Uon . The surprise and juit indignation excited b ; Brodoham ' s speech of the 11 th , when read at Paris , naturally induced the publication of the correspondence between the ex Chancellor and tbe Minister of Justice ; and Brougham , covered with contempt , became the laughing-stock af Europe : The eopyist of Bubks cannot plead that he gave in his 'adhesion to the Repnblio' in a fit of unconsidered enthusiasm , teeing that he professes to have always regarded the Revolution with feelinea of disgust ; and , moreover , had lUowed six weeks to elapse from the 21 th of February , before he first wrote far letters of naturalisation ' as early as convenient . ' It was then , after mature consideration .

      that the' noms lord' acknowledged the sound' title of the Proririenal Government to exercise the anpreme' authority f that he declared he thought it a ' duty * to show his ' confidence in French institutions ;' and that , in his anxiety to become a French oitizw . he professed himself ready to resign' all hit rights as an English peer and subject in Franoa . ' Was not this joiniBg * the came of the Revolution ? ' Wai not this assuming' a fawning position towards the authors of the convulsian ? ' He vituperates the Parisian populace as ' thatmany . headed idol '— 'that Jaggernaut . ' To that' idol' he ' meekly bowed the head ;' before that' Juggernaut * he fluBg himself prostrate .

It was the iorhted articles in that journal—puffing off ' slashing Harry' as the 'greatest Reformer alive '— as the showman says , aliteJ a'ive ! ' that got up the Whig steam and enaV . ed Harry to win Ms election for the most noble , but usually most misrepresented , county in England . * His lordship' did not always turn up his nosoat ' editors , writers , newsmongers , and dealers m papers .

      North , he appeared in Leeds , in ' a oarriaeo and four , ' and driving to the Mbrcurt Office , bis flankies tried the bell at the door of the newspaper office , but no one was within ; Mr Bainbb ' s private residence being in another part of tbe town . Some neighbour , or person standing in the street , informed the ocoupier of the carriage that the person he wanted was not to be feund there . On which tbe new-fledged lord made answer :- ' Tell Mr Bain ® the LoRD-UHAKCEiiciB fi « s called upon him \ \ \ My informanfc heard these words , he being on h ' iswaj to Church at the time , and was arrested in his progress by the unexpected eight of LordBRotCHAM * hom he well knew — m the Btreets of Leeds oa that occasion .

      • THREE GROANS FOR THE QUEEN ! —Queen Adelaide . Doubtless the recolleotioH of these doings has fired the ' noble lord ' s virtuous indignauon against . the press I am sorry that I have yet the disagreeable task of abowing that his 'lordship ' was about that time an ardent co-worker with the Press m' pandering to the cherished delusions , and violent propensities of the multitude . ' Having exhausted hia wratb agninst the press , the noble and learned lord , next indulges himself with a slap at' the agitators . ' He says : — The trade of the agitator , the professional mischief , maker , should in every possible waj be discouraged . As long as every idle good . for . little person can be assured that if he only devotes himself to stiring up the people on any ground , eithpr as acanthi * preacher of grievances or a quack distributor of remedies , he will both become a popular favourite and earn a subsistence , rely upon it there will never be wanting many to follow this very easy and not very honest calling , and many more to be the dupes of thtir nostrums .

      TWb is too bad ! Here is a successful qnack , who has made a fortune and retired from business , crying down the system by whioh he obtained his gains . Does'his lordship ' suppose such conduct is in acsordance with the principles of Free Trade ? ' Alluding to the ' great gains' of agitators , the ' noble lerd'hasaBpecialfling at the'late O'Conkbh ; this is very mean of' his lordship . ' He can hardly have a worae opinion of that prince of charlatans than I have always entertained ; but I cannot heln believing that his hostility to O'Conneil when living , and abuieofhin when dead , is to be accounted for in the faot that' his lordship' is conscious that he was bat a second-rate quack compared with the great Dan . Here I may remark that it is not true that

      O'Connelt , made ' great gain 9 . ' His power over masses of his fellow-countrymen was never approacbed by Brough am in the latter ' s pilmiest days , still ' the northern lord haa been luckier in clutching the ' siller . ' True , O'Connbll got hiB fifteen , twenty , or twenty-five thousand pounds yearly for agitatiBg , but he alao ipent it in agitation —principally in keeping tbe cormorants about him . He died poor . Most probably lie would have died a rioh man , had hekept to his profession and never fin * gered the' rent . ' ' Lord Brougham' is mistaken if he suppose * that agitators generally make the pretty pickings he has made by hawking quack remedies for popular grievances . Of the notorious agitators of the last fifty years I know but two—Lord Brougham and a certain other' noble and learned lord '—who hwe made great gains by agitation . Certain Whig wire-pullers have also done pretty well such as the

      , celebrated letter-writer , Thomas Toung , formerly secretary to Lord Mklbsurnk , and now enjoying a salary of £ 1 , 000 a year as PoBtoffioe Secretary j and the notorious Jok Pahkbs , now enjoying the good berth of Examining Master in the High Court of Chancery , with a salary of £ 2 000 per annum . As regards « Lord Bbougham' himself , it ib notorious -nat his doings as an agitator won for him the Chanre-lonhip . It is also notorious that he made a mar ket of his popularity to obtain that place . His electoon for Yorkshire waa made the BteppiBg-stone to the woolBackjand this , too , in defiance of his solemn pledge to the contrary .

      , therefore it was that he had , on the last ; examination , agreed to accept bail for him . —Mrs Lindfield aaid that in consequence of the affliction of her Bon , and the secluded manner in which they lived , keeping themaelveB aloof frrm all their neighbours , a prejudice was entertained againat them , and to this she attributed the difficulty in proouring bail .- The ohargo against herself ahe would admit was of a serious description , and it was most essential to her that her Bon should be at large , to enable her to engage a counsel for her defence . —Mr Morton said , that under the circumstancf s , he Bhould accept the young man ' s bail in the sum of £ 50 , to appear en Thursday next . —The required surety being given , the prisoner was discharged .

      . ANOTHER BODY FOUND On Friday , Mr Bedford held an inquest at the Feathers , Dean-stivet , Westminster , on the body of a newly-born female child , found in a field on Thursday morning laBt . Police sergeant Pranger , of the A division , said that on the morning ia question he was pausing a \ ong the Vauxhall Bridge-road , when he was called 'o by gome boys who were in a field at the back e ! Ltllington-street . On proceeding there he perceived a bundle lying on the grrund , and , upon opening it , be found tbo body of the deoaased therein . He immediately conveyed the body to tho station house , and from thence to tho workhouse . The body waa packed , first , in four sheets of brown paper , and afterwards wrapped in some new Canvass . The hands of the deceased were folded across the breast , its tongue protruded , and the parcel was bouEd round exceedingly tight with cord . He had made inquiries , but was unable to ascertain who had placed the ohiid there .

      Dr Wright , who had examined the body , said the child was full grown . It had not received medioal attendance at birth , and from the decomposed state of the body , it was hardly possible to tell the cause of death , although it was probable that it might have died from neglect . The Coroner said , after the horribl disclosures that had taken place a few days since at Walworth , he was in hopes that he should not be called upon to investigate any _ more of these shocking cages , but he was aorry to inform the jury tbat Buoh was not tha

      caee , and as he was leaving his office to bold the pre-8 inquiry , he received information of another child being found in Hyde Park under similar oir < eutmtances . No one could ever make him ( the Coroner ) believe that tneBe children were born and disposed of in Buch a barbarous manner without the instrumentality of more persons than their parentB . it was not possible for a female ts be confined and take her child ont of her house without being seen by the neighbour ? . . Dr Wright said that the present was not a case of abortion .

      The Coroner-No , but you state that the child had not been attended te at its birth , and it seemad quite probable to him that these children might be thus neglected ob purpose to cause their death . It was most extraordinary that during the many caBes of this description he had been called to investigate , no one had ever been seen to convey the bodies to the place Ttheie thsy were found . Sergeant Pranger wag here recalled , and asked by the Corener whether the police bad ever discovered a peraon wit » i one of these dead children ? The officer replied m the negative . The Coroner said a premium ought to be held out to the police to make such discoveries , for he was sure if that was once made , they would be able to get such information as would Btartle tha publio . The Jury returned a verdict of Found dead , ' and the Coroner requested the police to use all dilieenoo in searching for the parties who had placed tke deceased where found .

Mr Roger Grey was unanimously called to the ohair , and congratulated the committee and the audience on the very numerous attendance , and said most probably that would be the last meeting proyious to the trial , but after trial he hoped to see a tremendous meeting to congratulate their brethren

The report was agreed to with great applause throughout . We learn from the report that the Bam already received on account of the matter exceeds £ 250 , from masons and the public .

      Mr Peel ( dyer , and member of the Execntive of the United Trades ) , eeoonded the motion , and said , he agreed with the resolution , as thero was a surplus of labour in the market , and one of the best means of getting rid of this surplus was the shortening the hours of labour . ' The resolution was adopted unanimously .

      THE IRISH TRIALS FOR -HIGH TREASON . -

      I Dublin , Thursday Morning . Mr Bntt , Q . C , opened the defence of Mr M'ManusyeBterday , in an address to the jury cha » racteriaed by eloquence , legal acumen , and , wo may add . ingenuity . He has certainly put the case ot his client in about the best position it could be placed before tho Court and jury ; but the main facts being admitted—of his participation in the affairs of Mullinahone and Ballingarry , whioh formed the overt aota of high treason of which Mr O'Brien « tandB convicted , leaves little room for anticipating any other verdict than one of' guilty . ' Mr O'Callaghan followed Mr Butt on the Bame side , and shortly after five o ' clook the court adjourned .

      CONVICII 0 N OP T . M MANUB FOR HIGH TREASON . Cionmbl , Thursday Evening .-A . verdict of Guilty , after three hours' deliberation , was handed in by the jury against Mr M'Manus . Mr Barton handed in a paper , which was read by the clerk— ' We strongly recommend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the enwn . ' The priBoner , who conduored lrirmelf throughout with great firmness and nonchalance , was observed to smile a * the reoommendation waa read . On being , ordered to be removed from the dock , the prisoner , j previous to his leaving , reached forward and shook hands cordially with his counsel , Mr O'Callaghan , bowed respectfully to the court , and retired .

      Mr O'Donohuo waa then put on his trial , which very probably will occupy the court up to Saturday . We hesr it is not intended to try Mr Meagher at proaent , as it ia apprehended there will not be Buffi , ciont time to do bo before the opening of the Dublin commission , or before the day io the ensuing week when it wiU be necessary for the crown , officers to proceed to Dablin , to prepare for the commission there . The rumour is , that the special commission will be adjourned , and that when the court resumes its sittings , Mr Meagher will be put on trial . As the proceedings in Mr O'Djnohue ' s case are similar to those already disclosed on the former trials , ir would be a mere waBte of time asd space to mako any lengthened reference to them ; it is enough to say that the prisoner was proved to have been with Mr O'Brien during the insurrectionary movement at Killenaule .

      The defence of Mr O'Donohoe was opened on Saturday with th . 3 examination o ? Patrick Hanrahan , whose evidence went to negative the proposition that tbe prisoner wag engaged in the insurrectionary attack on the 29 ch July , the day of the storming of Widow M'Cormick ' s house at Bailingarry . This witness and two others positively swore that O'Donohoe , Meagher , and Lejne spent the whole of that day m his house at Turloch , which is eight or ten miles from the scans of that famous battle ; Hanra han admitted that he knew of the proclamation against ; Meagher when he thus rendered himself liable to the charge of felony for harbouring him , and that he was a member of a Confederate Club .

      § Mr Butt delivered another powerful appeal to the jury . Ho maintained that the dear interpretation of the acts of the prisoner , and those with whom he wa » associated , was , that from the 28 th of July he and ¦ they separated from O'Brien-Bought shelter in the hills—resorted to no violence-joined no armed hodies , but merely eadeavoured to preserve them * seWes frorai arrest , and remained together wandering about till they were arrested b y the police on the hick road on their way towards HolyeroBS . The learned gentleman ably reviewed the evidence for the prosecution , and pointed out a variety of palpable discrepanoies in the facts depcBed to . He contended that h m ! i , w ! i e na Tery diffflrent 9 l 0 'y d what he had witneued for each of the three trials on which he had been examined .

      The Solicitor General replied ; and Mr Justice Monre summed up . The jury retiredI at half-past seven o ' clock . Durio ff their absence , and that of the judgee , the following sceno occurred : — » ¦«» u « nu Mr Butt said-Mr High Sheriff , Mr Going the Under Sheriff has now bsen two or three times in with the jaw-he ib in with them now , and he ought not to be .
