      BUtTll-DAY OF T 11 OMAS PAISE . A tea patty and public meeting , in commemoration of the above event , was held oa Sunday evening , by the society of Free Inquirers , meeting at the British Coffee * Rooms , Edgeware-road . A Bwnerons party sat down to an excellent tea , the whole arrangements of which cave great satisfaction . Mr . Febl was called to the chair , and in an able manner explained the objects of the meeting . Mb . Shorter responded to the sentiment of " Tnomas Taine and the Righto of Man . " They were rot only to show their respect to the memory of Paine , but also to declare their allegiance to the principles which he advocated . They could not too often have presented to their notice tUe memory of those great and good men who ha > i exerted their talents for the benefit of their fellow-creatures ; among that bright array none was more worthy of commemoration than Thomas Paine . Tlie epithet

      of a Friend of the People was well deserved by him , and his name , and the Rights of Mm , would l > e lor ever indelibly associated . Ui 3 opponents were ihe legislators , the bishop ? , the yrc « s , the lawyers , and the wealthy of the land . Ever . * artifice had teen resorted to by them to bheken his cliarac er , and root out the principles he was inculcatin ? , but iho result proved , that howover error and prejudice might for a tima gain the ascendant , that truth would ultimately prove , victorious . Paine was entirely universal in his views , —bis principles and writings were applicable to all countries and to sill time . Ila was a disinterested advocate , freely giving bis labours and his writings for the public benefit ; and even in the height of his popularity risking his fame by fearlessly advocating his theologiol views . The speaker then entered into an interesting detail of the labours of Paine in America , England , and France .

      Mb . Bowen also responded to th ' u sentiment , "Time truly works wonders . " The man whose effigies a fow years hack was burnt in the streets of almost every town in the kingdom , and whose name "was used as an epithet to frighten children , was fast becoming the admiration of the people , and would , ore long , be looked upon as one of the greatest meu Euglaud had produced . It uright truly be said of him , " Though dead he yet spe ; ik « th . " ' Mr . Lbxo ( iu the absence of Mr . Hoiyoake , ) responded to the sentiment qt" The Sovereignty of the People ana the Fraternity of Nations . " In pasi ages ihe people were entirely neglected . History

      ¦ was only the record of despotic governors and not tbe history of the people . It was not until men like P . tiuo started from the ranks of the people , and breaking the banns of conventionalism , ushered in the dawn of a new state of things , that the people began to have any real influene in the moulding of their own destinies . Now every day was bringing more converts to these doctrines , and hastening the hour when the people would be indeed sovereign . The Fraternity of Nations and the Sovereignty of the People were inseparably allied ; Fraternity could only flourish where a people were free . Then the world would be a garden of peace , none having a motive to fear or injure each other .

      Mb . BESNErc supported this sentiment . The groat battle of the world was now to be fought . Hitherto the many had always endured misery and death to promote the grandeur of the few . This had entirely arisen from the people being destitute of political power . If oue nation had no right to aggrandise itself on the ruin of another , neither had one maa a right to do it on the ruin of his neighbour . The Sovereigntyof the People was therefore equivalent to the Fraternity of Nations ; each pre-Butucd brotherhood and equality among all men . Me . T . M . Wheeler and Mr . Mat responded to tbe sentiment of the " Freedom of the Press . " . ' Mb . Walford suggested that the society should commence receiving subscriptions for building a monument to tVe memory of Paiue , and pointed out tbe advantages thereof . Several members spoke on tbe subject , which was adjourned for further consideration .

      Between the various sentiments , the Girondist , HdrseUlaise , and other patriotic hymns , were given by the Choras of the Institution , and the assembly departed highly gratiSe 4 with their entertainment

      A pabbo supper took place on Wednesday evening , at the Crown Tavern , to celebrate the above event . A very respectable company sat down to an excellent entertainment ; wbeo the cloth was removed , Mr . Broome was called to the chair , and Mr . Lombard to the vi ? e-chair . The proceedings commenced bv singing the " Girondists" and " Marsellaise " " hymns . The Chaibmas gave the first sentiment : — " The memory of the immortal Thomas Paine . " They were assembled to do honour to one of those men whose footsteps would guide them in the paths of rectitude and justice . The Chairman then gave a Tery interesting and minute detail of the life and actions of Faiue , showing the mighty influence he

      exercised in forming the American Republic , and the vast debt mankind owed to him for this service along . lie then dilated upon the humanity and courage he displayed during his career as a member of the National Convention in France , and praised his philosophy' and true devotion which actuated him in braving all the prejudices of the time in writing his " Age of Reason . " He also eulogised the conduct of Carlisle , Watson , and the Chartist Executive , for popularising tbe works of this great writer , and concluded by calling upon them to join in one great struggle for their political rights . Mr . Swcombe also responded to . the sentiment , which was followed , as were all the other sentiments , by appropriate songs and music .

      Mr . Fczzes responded to the sentiment of " The People . " The institutions of kingcraft and priestcrait were the relics of a barbarous age , and would melt away before the increase of knowledge and enlightenment whenever the people were appealeJ to ; Dr . Fkith responded to the sentiment , —" May Involutions never cease until the Crowns of Europe are melted into type to print the Rights of Man . " The speaker showed that , rife a 3 physical revolutions had been within the few last years , moral revolutions would in tbe succeeding years

      become mow rife . Though the . crowned despots of Europe might seem secure on their thrones , yet such was the progress of mind that , in a short time , their power would be crumbling into dust Robespierre , who bad been so misrepresented , was not the bloodthirsty wretch he had been depicted , but an advocate for humanity , the spread of knowledge and true Democracy ; and , like Paine , he was beginning to have thoso honours paid to him of which lie is so worthy . Mr . Elliott also responded to this sentiment .

      Mr . Gardixer spoke to the sentiment of " The Memory of the Democratic Martyrs of all Nations , and of all Time . " The speaker , in an eloquent manner , alluded to the martyr Fro 3 t , and bis col leagues , Mitchel , and bis brother patriots , Cuffey , Lucey , Sharp , and others , and by his impressive manner , drew tears from his audience . Mr . 6 . WaEEUa also responded to this sentiment , and dwelt on the martyrs which Europe had bequeathed to their memories . Though confined to a country distrust the men of O'Connorville would yield to none in their aspirations for the spread of Democracy throughout the world .

      Mr . Osborke responded to the toast of " Mora Pigs and Less Parsons , " and Mr . T . M . Wheeleb to that of " The Freedom of the Press . " A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman , and the guests adjourned to the Ball-room in TurnmUl-street , where happiness and joy reigned during the remaining hours of the night . On the same evening a Tea Party , in celebration of tbe above event , was held at the Westminster Young Men ' s Society Rooms , Little Dean-street . Scho .

The prisoner at that time was hall or under butler . In April of that year , witness , with the concurrence of the benchers , dismissed the prisoner for alleged druukenness .

Burnaby , the chief clerk , a letter , in

      which tbe prisoner had threatened the life of Sir John . His lordship added , that the prisoner had written similar letters to his wife , Lord John Russell , and several other members of parliament . — Mr . Burnaby read tho letter , which ciiarged Sir John Jervis with depriving him ( the prisoner ) of his plaoe , and threatened him with serious injury . He ( the prisoner ) would let the world know what sort of wretches the people had to expect in their judgps , and he was prepared to act , if the Lord Chief Justice did not afford him redress in the matter of his alleged wrong . He w ould punish him by a law of his own , if he suffered strangulation for it at the Old Bailey ; and his eons would , in his stead punish ids enemy , whom he described as n

      " wretch , " " viper , " " snake in the grass , " Ac . 'This letter , the Lord Chief Justice believed to be in the handwriting of tho prisoner , which he had had many opportunities of seeing when he was umler-butler to the Benchers of the Middle Temple . —After the reading of the letter , Mr .. Henry asked his lordBhip if he went in bodily fear of receiving some injury from the prisoner—His lordship replied in the affirmative . —The Lord Chief Justice said that he would give the accused every explanation in his power , as he was anxious to show he laboured under a great mistake with regard to him . —The prisoner , at much length , questioned the Lord Chief Justice as to his right to dismiss him from office , and as to such dismissal never

      naving been officially or formally communicated to bl as . . ° ^ ne a ct of the under treasurer in dismissing himhy a message through a subordinate being sufficient ; and said that he ( the prisoner ) had been m the Temple before Sir John Jervis , whom he charged with having removed him from his place ™ main room for * protege of his own . —His lordship said that he had the power to discharge any servant . The prisoner was frequently intoxicated when he was on duty in the hall . It was his duty to say grace , and his lordship bad noticed that he was drunkwhen he wasrepeatingthe words . The benchers had also noticed it , and witness therefore discharged him . —Prisoner : I was ill , aud bad only been out of bed an hour , when I made the mistake

      which led to " my discharge . At the grace I subst tute d beauteous instead of " bounteous . " At the thanksgiving my memory failed me , and I stopped short before its completion . —The Lord Chief Justice : You were frequently too drunk to say grace . — The prisoner denied thathewas adrunkard . He then produced a letter , which hesaid he had received from a gentleman of such high rank that he did not like to make it public , but would show it to the bonch ¦ ind Sir John Jervis , as proving the injury the latter had done him by preventing him from getting a place . —The Lord Chief Justice said , that looking at tho signnture , he had no acquaintance with the writer , whom he only knew to be connected with dignitaries of the church , and that he never had any conversation with him . He did not think that the letter showed anything of the injury which the prisoner attributed to him as having cauBed . —Mr Henry said the letter was not material . —The

      Prisoner : Cannot you remand the caae ? Mr . Henrv : I think all this matter is immaterial . Whatever complaints you have to make , you had no right to « end such threatening letters . —The " Prisoner : I might have taken a different course , it is true , but I wished Sir John to do me justice as a man . The prisoner here said , thathe was suffering so much from illness , that he was not in a condition to put his questions as he eould wish . After a pause he added—It may not be out of place for me to admit that the letter was written by me . The prisoner then entered into a long statement , but was obviously not in the most complete state of seltpoaaession . His remarks were merely a recapitulation of what he had formerly urged . —Mr . Henry ordered the prisoner to find two good sureties in * 50 each , and himself in £ 100 , to keep the peace , lie should require twenty-four hours' notice of the baiL—ThQ prisoner was then locked up .

Helen ' B Lancashire , to the prisoner , on the 7 th of December last , to take up a bill for £ 213 16 s ., and due on that day , to Routledge's y > ossesion , and this testimoney , together with the production of the bill itself , would complete the evidence in the case of Mr . Johnson . He ( Mr . Robinson ) would be also prepared on a future day to show that the acceptance to two bills of exchange , and which had been sent by Routledge to a ,

      tradesman at Macclesfiold . were forgeries , and this , in his ( Mr . Robinson ' s ) opinion , would be a clear case of forgery . —A Bmall ledger found in a secret drawer at the prisoner ' s residence , and in whioh the prisoner kept a minute account of his daily , monthly , and annual transactions , was produced to the magistrates .

      some newspaper , of the prisoner , in full uniform , and as he appeared at court . —Mr . Norton inquired if the solicitors of the Bankers' Association were coming forward to lend their aid in the prosecution , which would be one of some dim culty , and requiring the aid of a practised lawyer — Mr . Robinson replied that Messr 8 . Bush and Mullitis were merel y solicitors to the London Bankers ' Association , and as-no attempt had been made to defraud the London bankers , and as it could not effect the bankers in the metropolis in any way to have bills of exchange made payable ' at their houses even by swindjers , those gentlemen would not give any directions to the solicitors to the association to interfere in any way in the matter . Mr . Robinson

      added that , in reply to some communications which had been made to persons , who , from letters found amongst"the prisoner ' s papers , had had transactions with Routledge , he received answers from attornies threatening actions , and all sorts of pains and penalties , if he dare disclose the names of their client as connected in any way with the prisoner or his transactions . —Mr . Norton remarked that he dtd not think that he ( Mr . Eobmaon ) , had much to . fear from such threats , and prolonged the further examination of the prisoner to a future day — In tho course of the day Mr . Games , as the prisoners solicitor , applied'to Mr . Norton for an order to tho officer Melville , to give him a few pounds . more out of , the seventy-six sovereigns

      found in the prisoner ' s drawers , and which appeared to be all the ready money ho possessed at the time of his apprehension . Mr . Games said that out of the £ 5 his lordship was so kind to order him at the first examination ho had given upwards of £ 3 to his client , and as the prisoner was at present m a dangerous state of illness , and required necessaries beyond the jail allowance , he hoped his worship would order him ( Mr . Gamss ) , a few pounds more . —Mr . Norton , under the peculiar circumstances , ordered the officer to hand three sovereigns moro to tho prisoner ' s solicitor , which Melville at once complied with , and handed Mr . Games the three sovereigns .

At eight o ' clock , however he received a message to the effect that his client was dying , and though he hastened to the gaol he found on reaching it is client had just breathed his last and having cheated some thousands in his life time , had now cheated the law , as he stood fullv committed to take his trial on a charge of defraud-£ L - ' f n 8 ( * «?
