      Chartist Mbktinci . —On Monday evening week , a public meeting of th » Wapping Branck of the Bradford'Northern Union , waa held in tbe opea air &t ibatpl&oe . It waa intended to announce the meeting by sending round the Town ' s Bellman , but this could not be allowed . The authorities gave orders th * t , should he cry a meeting of this kind , he might take the comequence into his own hands . A young man , belonging to the society , madd up this

      deficiency by gomg round and aofing aa cryer , warning the people by springing » rattle . The meeting was numercru » l y attended , ably addressed , and the following resolution unanimously carried : — u That in coasequence . of the inroad * that have been made upb ^ i tbe pe ople by an unconstitmional Police Force , at P-irmingbam , it is the indispen . 'rfble doty of overy man to provide arms for * ha purpose of repelling Any aot of aggreaiiou that may be made , and also arm ourselves for the protection of life and

      property . The Contbktion . —The Biotbrs 17 ndsr SentbWCE OF DKATH . ~ The Council of the General Convention haa recommended the immediate adoption of the following address , at every Chartiot meeting : — We , your Majesty ' s loyal subjects , had reason to hope that the mild spirit of the ago had rendered obsolete all those sanguinary laws which , in xrther rejgna , had subjected offenders to ignominious death for comparatively trifling offences .

      We r egret , however , to learn that thre * of your Majesty ' s subjects have been reeently « eonvicted under an old act of Parliament , which appears to hare escaped tbe eye of the legislature in it * revision and repeal of barbarous enactments ; we cannot help believing , tbat had those crime * been feund upon the calendar of a general asaiz ?; and not treated as political offences , they would have been more mildly construed , and the punishment , even ofter conviction , would not have amounted to a sacrifice of life . Under these eircumstances we

      hombly and respectfully Appeal to your Majesty , that you will be graciously pleased to exercise your royal prerogative , by extending the royal pardon to Franow Robert * , Joseph HowelJ , aud John Jones , lately convicted and sentenced to death , at th « aseize * of Warwick . We beg most respectfully to direct your Majesty ' s attention to the unfavourable circumstances under which tbe prisoners were tried—being committed for a mere riot , and afterwards capitally indicted . " The foregoing addrers wri proposed by Mr . Feargot O'Coonor , seconded by Mr . Wm . Carpenter , and oarried unanimously .

      APPREHENSION AND COitfMITTAL OF THOMPSON , THE GUN-MAKER OF BIRMINGHAM . The evidence givpn before the magistrates at Stock port acd Ashton-under-Lyne having shown that the tire arnu sold in those town * had been supplied by a Mr . Thompson , of Birminghani , it was thought advisablo by tha Stock pert magistrates fhat he shoald b « appr . hendec ! . Accordingly * Mr . Sadler , thtt superintendent of police of that borough went to Birmingham for ths purpase on \ VBdne » d « y last , and met with the prisoner near bu own residence , which is situated in Whittle-street , St . M .- uy * Gate , Birmingham . He weut up to him , and told him he came from Siockport , and shook hands with him , and then told him he had a

      warrant against him for having arm * in his posaeyrion for illegal purposes , and chawed him with supplying Mitchell , of Stockport , and ilit ; gii >» , of Aahtoa , with arm * for illegal purpose * . He Haiti he had supplied them with firms , but it was in a tradesmaclik © manner , aud that he had no connection with them as Chartists Mr . Sadler requested him to accompany him to his ( prisoner ' s ) honye . He did so . ar . dthen demanded to nee bin authority for his apprehension . Mr . S . produced the warrant , and then asked iha prisoner if ho had any papers in his posoeKcion ; and those produced were « iven to him by th » priiK > oer nnd his wile . The prisoner said , that he nev « r knew for what purpose the arm * w # re required , bat on one occasion , and that was in Athton , when

      some men cainenn bis an op , and began to shoulder their musVetM , he immediately told them to desist , tbat they should not do so on his premiae * . The letter now prodac ^ d he foxind at the residence of the prisoner , at Birmingham . [ It appeared to be . a letter from Timothy Higgina , intonujng him that rho police had broken into his house , taken the arm ? , aud charged him with having them ia hi * pjjriession for unlawful purposes , and fttntod tUat he ii id been apprehended and taken before tfen xaa ^ istrates , and bailed out to appear to take hi * trial . ] Another liMier-was al > o produced which had been found inth « fesiafence of tbe prisoner ; it watt directed to Tborapyon , and tiigned "K . J . Richardson , " of Manchester . It gate a countermand oi

      an order which ha « t been sent for arm : * , and complained of h suspicion that be ( Tboippson ) was privy to thd apprehension of oeveral parties by giving information to Gort-rcmrnt , [ Some letters of the prisoner were produced . Mr . Saaler swore to his handwriting , Irom having seen him write twice on the previous day . He also swore to tbe handwriting of nigging . ] Mr . Cobbett cross-examined the witness in reference to the handwriting , and afterwards rose to addregrf the Bench . He said the prisoner vras charged with having arm !) in his possession ; but he contended that the chargo conld not be entertained , as it wan Well known that he was a manufacturer of arms ; and hi * having sold arms to the prisoner * ,

      Mitchell a-ud Davies , did not prove that he had aold them for the purpo&ft of acting illegally ; therefore be did not think it possible to make a crime out of tho extremely far-fetched evidence , as the prisoner h » d Dot been proved to hare been connected with thoso parties who had previously been convicted , on what he considered to be equally far-fetched and refiuoJ evidence . He had eo . 'd them in the character of a tradesman , which , a * a man of busine ^ n , ho had a right to do . There ure some docninents which have been produced , and Stdlerhas positively * worn to the handwriting . He did not consider thin any proof whatever ; and correct proof of handwntiny conld not at any time be tiken by comparison . Such proof coula not be entertained by any

      judge in the kingdom . He did not deny but that tho siguatores produced were very ranch alike j but Mr . Sadier , from seeing the prisoner write twice yesterday , had nEdertaken to swear to the document )) DOW produced . Now , Sir , 1 ? ay , that a man who would swear to those documents on such ground is not worthy of any credit » t all . It was no fault of hi . " that tho geRtfeman had thus hazarded his character . Mr . Sai'ler wnsnot an ignorant man ; and if he fell into an error , he could noth lp it . In conclusion , he said , in reference to this prosecution , that he hoped he should not have to appear in tbat ceurc again ; and he trusted that such a report of the case throughout would bo given aa would hand down to posterity tho conduct of that bench , as a beacon and ks a warning to all magistrate * in future .

      The Mayor , in reference to the latter remarks of Mr . Cobbett , xa . d that himself and brother Magistrates considered they had only done their duty . Tbe prisoner wa * then committed for trial on a charge of illegally disposing oi' arms ' , combination , and conspiracy . Mr . C * bbett inquired at what hour the p risoner Nicholls would be brought up on Saturday ? The Clerk The Court always commences at twelv e o ' clock , nnleys otherwise arranged . The Mayer— Shall you be heta Mr . Cobbett ? Mr . Cobbett—Why , I don't know , Sir .

      The Mayor—Because 1 am requested by my brother Magistrates to say , that more courtesy must , in future , be observed on your part , otherwise you will be excluded practi c ing in this Court . Mr . Cobbett briefly apologised , and the Court broke up .

The Hall , which ia capable of holding about five hundred persons was crowded to excess , and the speaker was introduced by Mr . Josh . Firth , the chairman , amidst the app lause of the meeting . The absence of a reporter makes it impossibla to do anything like justice to the , address which , abounded with t » onnd sense anc argument , and was an excellent exposure of the

Mr , Bussey , amongst other thing-j , drew an t-xcellent contrast between the Government of America and tbatof thiV country , showing the enormous and uselees extravacanee of ths latter when compared with the former .
