      MANCHESTER . —A pnblic meeting of ihe innatk&nte of . Manchester -was held in Hie C * x |> enter «" s Hall , en Slonaay evening , to bear a statement of thB occurrences & % the lata trial at Lancaster , from W . P . Roberta , Esq ., and others . The spacious hall ttm 'filled in every part . Am efident choir vaa in attendance , and song the Cbanist "hyrrmj" If Britona would be free , They must , they mast unite . "Whilst tie singing was going on , Sir . Roberts , accompanied by Messrs . Leach sod Doyle , entered the hall , and "was much cheered . After the cheering had sub-Bided , Mr . James Wheeler was tailed to the chair , and Introduced Mr . Hoberts to the meeting by a few brief xemaiks . Mr . Boberta on rising -was again greeted T > y

      repealed rounds of applause . After wcieh he spoke to the folio-wing efisct—He felt tiiit to be an hoar of pride j ha appeased before them in -diffareai spirits than ¦ when he saw them last . On that occasion he felt the foil -weight of his sitnatJon , having bo many -victims to defend against a government which he knew would neither spare talent nor expense in securing a conviction . He was not prepared upon that occasion even to anticipate that the result woold be what it had been . l » ot that he believed their cause less just then thin now , bnt that the power arrayed against them was a fearful odds . He had taken this opportunity of laying before them a few fasts in connection with the trial , as well fc > contribute to their restoration as their amusement—Ooud cheers ) . He did not look span the results of the

      trial as the effects of blind chance , bnt rather to the onward march of truth . He wu afraid that he would not be able to speak lond enough to be beard in so large s room , bnt he would do his best , and perhaps when he got warm , he would epeak loud enough —( cheers ) Be would now endeavour to bring some of the facts fcefora them ; and the first tiling that he would bring before them was the demeanour of all the parties in coim&ctlon witli this important trial . In respect to the Jn&ne , tfrp ™> xm ? fi * tns a Jndzs noon the Bench who acted in a more impartial manner—in fact , he tns an hcffionr to the country that gave him birch- - The Attorney-General also , considering the circumstances in which he was placed , bis conduct was that of a lawyer and a gentleman . The officials of the Court

      sIbo were respectful in the extreme . There was no such thing as stopping bis clerk from going in and out of Court , as was the case at Stafford , because his master was a Chartist—( loud cries of shame , shame ) . Then the defendenls—their conduct was exemplary in the extreme , and the manner in which they defended themselves , and their general conduct , wrung from the Judge and the Attorney-General that they were proud of belonging to the country that gave birth to such men as the defendants . This coming from a Jndge and the Attorney-Giceral in a Government prosecution , speaks trumpet-tongued , and proclaims to the world the progress of truth and the justness $ > f our great principles . Sir . Roberts then said that Mr . Lsach and himself had been to Lancaster to learn the law : and

      notwithstanding the written law was the same as it was in 1839 , yet the law was as differently administered in that time , when compared with the present , as light differs from darkness ; and * with all due deference to the deffindenti , ha would say ttiat there was ranch more proved against them , than was proved against bun in 1 S 39 , and yet- ha was sentenced to two years imprisonment . And bow different the conduct of Baron Rolfe , At Lancaster , and Lord Abinger at Liverpool ; and this was due to the people and their exertions , in planing the mart of popular indignation on the man who could so far forget himself-as to make the judgment-seat the place for political denunciation . This ia-Qie eSect ef the exertions of Mr . T . S . Dnncoabe , in the House of Commons . Mr . Roberts then went

      Into an analysis of the evidence adduced on the trial . The first man brought forward was a fellow of the name of Buckley , and he Mr . R . gave his name to immor- i tal infamy . This fellow could not recollect the amount ] of money that he had received , but he could distinctly recollect what the speakers had said at various meetings in difierent parts of tke c ^ imtry . Well -with a j expert CTQg& * xamin&iion , he admitted having recei-red : j £ 2 13 s . on one occasion , and ^ £ 1 15 s . on another , and ! a hope of receiving £ 50 as a reward if they succeeded in getting a conviction . Mr . Roberts then * referred to i a constable who had taken notes sitting on & cart wheel , ! took , in running hand , correct reports of what the speakers said . Hov , this was a clever sort of a

      chap , far superior to the short-hand writers of i the day who find it difficult to follow the speakers on i such occasions . But be ( Mr . Robert *) got a peep at this , gentleman's book , and he found that it contained > certain interlineations , wrote in different ink , and in i different hand-writing . And what think you was the j nature of these interlineations ? Why certain remarks [ about the Charter —( shame , shame ) . The next witness [ that Mr . Roberts referred to was the manager of a factory at Stalybridgd ; he showed to the meeting the manner in which this gentleman was handled by Mr . \ Puling and Mr . James L ° aeh . This statement of facts produced the marked letting of . indignation of the , assembled thousands on the head of the man who could .

      go and deliberately swear that the condition of the i people was as good as it was twenty-five years ago , and j that the working classes were a discontented and . grumbling set . Mr . Roberts then gave a faithful description of the way and manner in which the wit-j Besses for the prosecution were drilled , in which Mr . Irwin came in for ids share of odium u the instructor of Griffin and the adviser of Cartledge . He then re- j f err&d to some Chartists who bad been rabpeeaed to ' give evidence that had told Mm ( Mr . Robarts ) , that ; they were offered a certain reward if they would swear ' , to certain facts , that they tampered with them before ' they brought them from borne , and also after they got i them to Lancaster , but they would not take the bait , ' and so they sent them home again ; and

      notwithstanding Mr . O'Connor got an order granted by the Judge , : that none of the witnesses should be in the Court , Mr . Irwin brought them and placed them behind a screen i were tiiey could bear every word that tile previous ; witness said aa -well as if they OaS been in Court . But with all their trickery their evidence was w shaken j that they sot only gave up five counts in the indictment , » ut sent back seventy of their witnesses without being examined . We also know that there was a number of witnesses on the baek of the indictment that was not forthcoming—one whose name was Luke M'Danment . When he was wanting it was announced that he was under the protection of lhe ~ Goverfl » r of the Castle for a felony committed in Lancaster , after he eame there in the character of a witness for the Crown . Prom this they would see that those who had the getting sp the evidence , had got together a mass of wretches from the very dregs of society—( Lond cheers . ) But be

      ( Mr . Roberts ) must say ti » at this victory was to be attributed to the people themselves , for supplying him with funds for the getting up the defence and employing the most efficient council that the bar of this country possessed ; by this means two objects were gained . Ibose men advocated the principles of Chartism , and She truth of them would stick to them , and their prejudice must in lame . give way to train . And in thB second place tie press admitted into their columns that Which , Otherwise , would not be admitted , and Irom tiiis Q » readers of those newspapers wtre put is possession of a just exposition of one principles ¦ which under other circumstances they would not have known . Hb ( Mi . R . ) would recommend them to establish a permanent defence fund , and not leave it to the moment they stood in need of such a fund , to commence raising it , by this means thb patriot would go on confident that there was a protection for him u he should Stand in need of it .
