      BeoTHss Djchdcrats , —is is with Bungled feelings o ; EbTTow and delight , that we once more address jon . With delight at the proud position we occupy as an association of men combined together fbrxse high and holy purpose of combatting tyranny in aS its varied ffcims ; and thereby "Shewing to the 'wcTid vhai we are actuated by a pure spirit of philanthropy and patriotism , proTiDg ineontefitably that ¦ we have no oilier objtct in view bu \ the emancipation of ourselves and fellow countrymen from the thraldom nnder which vro and they hare so long labonredL

      teerrowing that it is our painfcl duty to call the stteaiiiJn of the varions localities of this district , to the care of ibose sterling friends of snfiWriqg feuma-3 iitj , > Ir . Cooper and his corn-patriot Mr . . Richards , ¦ who are snfijing unheard of crnelues in the Stafford bcil , we , therefore , call upon every locality in Soc ^ h Lancashire to bestir them and call meetings Ham ; diat * ily to petition Psrliameat in their bebalf , sad 10 s-Tid such petitions forwith to T .

      what sends its petition in behalf of these brave fellows who hare so loiur . so nobly , and so faithfully fought tbe battles of a suffering and endaTdd peopia . "We also regret that a few of thB localities hiTa not sent their delegates so regularly to the county coun cil ss they formerly did . We hope , therefore , that the time that is passed will more than suffice , and that for tbe future they will see the necessity of baring their Tepresentaaves present to assist in derising plans for the carrying out of those principles which if adopted , wSl make the homes of Englishmen , cottages of conieiinnentj and our country glorious , tappv and free .

      fcretcren . the task of addressing yon ' on this allimponaiii subject , ia 3 so often fallen to onr lot , that scything we can adTancs , by way of appealing to your love of country , would be little more than useless repetition . Our business with yon new is to jtdiiii ira : the necessity of adopting some practical jtlan , in order to secure the object which has cost us so much labour , mosey , and snSsring to carry it to its present proud , thoagh In some measure disorganized xaifl . - . Pirsi , taen , it is onr particular desire that each locality 5 * 13 choose a delegate to attend & meeting of the Ssnth Lanrashire delegates , to be holden in

      the Iteional Ciartcr Association Room , Brown-Btreet , Manchester , on Snnday , the 18 ih of Jnne , at-ons o'clock in the afiexneon , when , we trust , this call will be responded to in a manner worthy of fee democracy of ihi 3 emporium of liberty . That < each locality will not fail lo Instruct their representatiTe as to -what course they would deem it advisable to purEne in order io place ihis diTision of the country in tnat ] xfcdticn which its importance in this srnly great moTement so eminently tnfitlts it to . The delegates will be required to come fully prepared to Tote upon the following questions : — 1 st . Yonr opinions relatiyaHo the election of a new T-xecunYe Council for the Association .

      2 » d . The engaging a lecturer for this division of ihe county . 3 rd . as to the workings of the present local lecturers * plan , and whether it should be continued or o&a ^ ise . 4 sb . To give yonr opinions of the propriety of holding Chartist camp meetings during the snmmer 3 Bonths in various parts of the district ; and whether you think ihey wonld be attended with good xe ^ n ? " s to oar movement or not . ^ "We hope yon will not fail to give Iho above questions tna . 1 consideration which their importance re--qnires , as much depends upon the decision which you siav eome to .

      Broihsr Chartisfe , —We cannot conclude this address wjjhcnt calling your attention to the eventful times m whisk we live . The present time appeara to be big with great eveiris . The agitatf&n for the Jleveai of thB Legislative Union seems to be bringing us to a crisis—the hitherto conflicting elements of par ^ y appea rs to be upon the eve of a brorherhjnnciion , when JEkigland and Ireland are likely to uniie in the moral battle against thB common enemies of both countries . Such an opportunity for forming a lasting union between the two countries never presented Itself . W , e , therefore , onsht to ehsrisb it , and endeavour to cement ihe desi © -

      cracy of boxb nations in an holy union tha » wij make corrnp ^ ioBs' ark quake to the centre . T-tis is indeed the ** Tde in the afbirs of men , wfeicb . if iakm at the flood , leads on to freedom 1 " Be active and vigOant , and we shall most assuredly , at bo distant period , achieve that desideratum bo ardently 10 be wished , and for which we have so lon g to srdt-ntly struggled—the moral , social , physical , and political emancipation oi our beloved « ousrry from the galling fetters of a merciless oliiaTehy , the cold-blooded and grasping avarice oi tb * s ^ Er-keocraey , and the blighiing and whherisg itfl = i < -ii £ 5 of an intolerant Stsie Church .

      in conclusioB , we hope that the Chartists of thi 3 division of Lancashire will prove tbrm ^ fclves worthy of their higher caUing ini iht ; isoral straggle of rieht against might—of jastice against injustice . Let Cnion be your watchwordlove asd brotherly kindness mark jour condnct toivarfls each other , and the day is not far distant ¦ w hen erery vestige of oppression will be banished from our Jand , and the hardy sons of foil be in possesaGu of those privilege which will enable them to easy into effect the Aposiolio injunction— "The labourer shall first be partaker of the fruits thereof . " And this can esly be bionght about by making the people free labourers on their fatherland— "Tne lacd , the land , the laud , " is our only hope of salvation .

      NORTH LANCASHIRE . Hie Address of ike North Lancashire Delegates to ali Ihcse irho are desirous of co-operating with them in the great work of national redemption . Brothers in Bokdage and in Hope , —We conceive it to be oux duty to address you at this critical juncture of affairs in this class-ridden country , to call upon you , in the name of patriotism , to shake off tbe lethargy , apathy , and inattention to your own claims , and those of your suffering countrymen , to rush to tbe rescue of tbe downcast victims of poverty , to raise your energies , combine your collective talent and influence , concentrate your every moral power in one impenetrable phalanx , and with aToice—a voice ; like the sound of many waters , proclaim witfTpathas ; and with power ,

      ¦ piercing , yet forbearing indignation , that yon are fnUy and energetically alive to the things which concern your temporal , social , and political salvation ; that you are abunt to enap asunder those degrading chains which have so long linked yen to tbe usurping mandates of fecfion , boned yoa down mentally , morally , and physiralJy , aaid p . ade yon the veriest tools and slaves of de-Eizning taskmasters ; show tbal you have made a Bolemn declaration that yon will never tire in yonr noble exertions till you have achieved your country ' s redemption , the redemption of your bomestea f s from oppression and misrala , and that yon will , by year own , and yonr fellow mtn " s exertions , elevate yonri own order above tbe ranconr of despotism and the penalties of bondage ; you will then successfully show by your continued

      lsbonrs , that yon will finally secure to tbe human family , the greatest atnouat of bappjaesa human nature is ccpable of enjoying . S | 5 It -will be said by interested and other parties , that this can never be accomplished , that hnman nature is so rank and depraved , that all attempts to improve and elevate it , must and will eventually prove abortive and fruitless , that man must sit " patiently" down under an unbearable load of want , 'degradation , and woo , that the great author of tbe universe has wisely and solemnly decreed , that man must sit quietiy down , in bumble resignation , that he must take rough cir . eamstaiiCes ( so matter of -what nature they may be ) -, -we tell the propDtmfiers of this highly -injurious , prejndicial , pernicious doctrine , that it is aa false as the bigetry and superstition of the daik ; ages . We appeal to xsy rational mind , if these dogmas can stand for one moment in hostile array against these every day convincing- facts , that your homes once comfortable , wfcen

      enjoying a more equitable remuneration for your skill , are rapidly becoming destitute of every article of domdstf c convenience ; misery , degradation , and want surround you in all your various pursuits . In vain yon struggle to preserve the respectability of your , families , the iron hand of despotism strangles oui every tffirt to rescue them from poverty , and all its attendant calamities . . , shame , shame . upon tbe prostituted talent that is thus employed in prolonging and vainly endeavouring thus to defend tbe Btrong holds of oppression . Has heaven decreed that the idle , the pr < flijate rich , shall epjoy every blessing bestowed by art or nature , and th = l tbe industrious mechanic and inoffensive poor ahr . n alone be tbe objects of divine vengeance ? Be far from us such izreligous , impious , insulting mockery ; it is fraught "with the most dangerous fatal effects to man and his institution , and tbe peace and well-being of sociery .

      Jt is under these impressions that we have embraced the present opportunity of directing j you to a sense of your duty . Since your representatives first met on yonr behalf many and arduous , have been tbe struggles in -which yen had to engage in your different localities . At one time universally deprrciated ; snd disesteemed , pelted "with the mud of scorn and opprobrium , by all not incorporated in your ranks , your motives most unscrupulously maligned and misrepresented , the venal press marked its victims , spies were employed to concoct and convict , tbe pulpit thundered forth its denunciations , the bar showered torrentsof misrepresentation , and year best and noblest friends "were immured in a dungeon , because they possessed the boMness to

      denounce , and tbe virtue to morally combine against the evils of the " sjstem . " Your own enthusiastic * ' TattersaH" now languishes In prison , simply because be exerted his popularity with the working classes , to the preservation of life and property . ; Seeing that theie things have taken place , jon axe bound by every tie of " patr iotism" and humanity , it behoves yon as consistent persevering democrats , to gird on afresh tbe armour of truth and justice , and snrear > y the Tfrongs of your country , that you are determined to continne faithful to the end , that you will never cease in your God-like exertions until signal and final success shall have crowned your herculean , efforts . DotbiB , and the work of persecution is at end .

      Ours axe the principles of the People ' s Charter ; whole and entire , tht-y are immutable . They have floated msjestically triumphant on the troubled surface of political contfcntien . -unanswered tmd irrefragable by all the argumentative powers that sophistry has or can summon to its aid -, they "mil stand ( if such a thing should be ) amid the crush of matter and tbe wreck of ¦ worlds ; they would widen the foundations of sscinty until the base shall have a breadth capable of securing the just representation of every Interest in the state , under whose jnst administration every man would sit down nnder his em vine and fig tree , none daring to make him afraid .

      In conclusion , we implore of you to set your shoulders to tbe ¦ wheel , as if the legitimate struggle depended on yonr own energy and union . You can plead no excuse . You na » e , on many occasions , by your petitions and resolutions , argued and enforced the justice of , and the necessity for , tbe enactment of our political tenets , aa . the law of our sea-girt isle . Let every Chartist endeavour to add one more to our own rants , to confirm one wavering mind . Let every parent inculcate on the untutored mind of bis offspring , the never-dying principles of liberty , the absolute neces sity of good Government for tbe preservation of his liberty , and from a living death , by protracted distress , and for those essential materials which make life desirable . By all and every means press forward to the mark of your high calling . Let every Chartist do his own work ; and then soon , very soon , shall we hear from tbe Tallies and mountain tops the glad ebonta of Freedom .

      TLen peace and plenty will be eurs , And all the blessings Freedom showers . We are your * s , in the bonds of Union , Signed , on behalf of tbe delegates present , Henby Wood , Chairman

      treat worthy of the patronage ; of the friends of rational amusement and innocent recreation .

He opened tbe meeting by referring to the great movement in Ireland under the cardinal virtnes of justice , prudence , temperance , and

      per 5 averance , and called on the people present by their patriotism and love of justice to imitate their Irish brethren by agitating under the same baaiser . He then rtferred to the observation that clergymen ? bould take no part in politics , but said that if he witnsfsed any act of injustice and oppression he W 3 s bound as a ChiisiiaE minister to take his stand bj the ride of ihe injured and oppressed . He then instanced cases of oppression practised in Ireland , and concluded a truly Christian appeal by exhorting them not to be led into any secret societies , to have nothing to do with plots , or to commit any breach of the laws , but peaceably , constitutionally , and temperately assist ihe Irish people to establish the national independence of their country . The venerable

      priest sat down amid cheers . The R « v . Mr . Coppinger was next introduced , and explained the reason of his attendance there that evening . It was not bo much to publicly declare himself a Repealer ( although lie would not say that ! his private opinion was agaiBBt repeal ) but to add his portion of advice to the Catholics present , which had been so ably done by his venerable and learned friend . He then at length pointed oat their du'y , and likewise the caution 4 hat should be observed by them in listening to the " big mouthers , " atd concluded amid unmeasured applause . Mr . "West -was then introduced amid the most enthusiastic applause . He stated that he came among them to assist to Repeal the Union , by cementing an union ;—an union that had

      bsen too long delayed—an union of the working classes of England and Ireland , for the emancipation of both countries from the slavery of class legislation and aristoratie domination . He entered at great length into the question of Repeal , and by argument aui reason placed the question so plainly before his audience that the most prejudiced could sot escape conviction . He concluded Jby enrolling himself a member of the Pepeal Association amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . Several more ChartiBts , enrolled themselves , and the most brotherly feeling prevailed , the repealers pledging themselves to assist the Chartists by all means in their power . A vote of thanks to the chairman , to the R « v . Mr . Coppinger and M ? . West was carried with loud cheering . Three cheers were then given for Mr . O'Connellthree for Feargus O'Connor , and three for " Ould Ireland' * and the Repeal , and the crewded audience dispersed , many with wet shirts but light hearts , at this cordial union between the real friends of

Dixon , as a trophy of the principlem of ' truth , being convinced , from the arguments ad-1 vauced by Mr . Dixon , that nothing but the land would save the country . j

Jty was received with loud cheering ; and commenced by relating the rava / rs made by William I Ii , in Ireland , and the good fauh (?) with which the government of that monarch kept iho treaty of Lhnerick . He showed that in less than two months after they received the sanction of the great seal of ^ England , the treaty was broke , and his

      Majesty ' s peaceable subjects of Ireland , were tin-, ceremoniously Tobbed , not only of their goods and obatteis ^ but also of their lands and tenements . By the treaty of Limerick , Ireland was to hold her own Church , were allowed to worship their God according to . the dictates of then own consciences , and many other immunities both civil and religious .

      IRELAND . ] Repeal in the Aksit . —The following particulars p f a military affray appear in the Cork Examiner of iMonday : — " A coniidexable degree of excitement and alarm wV » s cheated last evening betwen tho hours -of nine and t ^ n o'clock , in tho neighbourhood of IjPatrick ' s- bridge and King-streetj from the conduct bPa great number of soldiers belonging to the 56 th and 45 th regiments , jthe majority of whom were intoxioated . Several attempts were made by the sober portion of the military tO induce their comrades to go quietly to barracks , but all in vain , force and remonstrance being j ^ iike unavailing . They then fought amongst themselves , but happily with more fury than effect ; and though nu . *" a ° elrt ? ss blows were offered , ano . heary falls received , still there were ct

      few real injuries inflicted . This c ^ «» naturally attracted a considerable crowd , wh ^ n increased every moment , the streets being tbrong'od as usual , on Sunday ; Some of the police belon g ' ng to the King-street station w ; ere presonfc , bat did ml at first interfere , hoping that tho intoxicated soldiers would have been brought away quietly by their sober * . comrades , particularly as a number of the 45 th , who are nearly all teetotallers , volunteered their services to that effect . But as all their efforts were unavailing , and the row increased in violence , the police , who fortunately were reinforced by constables from the Tuckey-street station , succeeded in arresting four men of the 56 th Regiment , and kinging them to thoKing-st . station , in doing which ,

      one of the constables ( No . 98 ) received several severe blows from the Boldier whom he bad arrested , and who struck him with the breastplate of bis bjelt . This constable had a narrow escape of his Jife , for on approaching the provision stores of the Messrs . Burke , the soldier pushed him against the low wall of the very deop area which gives light to the lower cellar , and but for the timely inturferonce of a woman , who caught him by the skirts of his coat as he was hanging down , head foremost , he would have fallen down a height of several feet . Most of the soldiers were extremely young , and wore evidently Irish , by their accent , as well as by their expressions , for they repeatedly shouted out— " Hurrah for Repeal!—by Gf—we must have the Repeal ! " •—and numberless

      other exclamations which proved beyond doubt that they were far from iBdifforcnt to the present movement in favour of Irish independence . During the whole time many hundred people were assembled , who seemed tj be greatly excited . Owing , however , to the praiseworthy exertions of our respected feU low citizen , Mr . J . Hackett , to whom the police ought to be much indebted , the people were induced to disperse , without the least violence . At a late hour one . of the officers of the 45 th with a party arrived , and took the four soldiers who had b . en previously arrested by the police up to the ba . rracks We understand that his worship the Mayor , and Guptain Gun have this day waited on Sir 0 . Carey * and that an investigation iuto the circumstances detailed above will be speedily held . "

      . Demonstration in , Droghio ) a . —Drogheda , June 6 , 18-13—The patriotic men of Drogheda and the adjoining localities have dona their duty nobly to themselves , their leader , and their country . The demonstration which haa jiurt taken place has transcended far and away all similar political exhibitions heretofore witnessed in a locality long distinguished fdr its fidelity to the cause of the people , and is well deserving of a distinguished place among the many glorious manifestations of popular feeling by which this eventful year has been illumined and illustrated . The Liberator left town at eight o ' clock on Monday morning in his private travelling chaise , accompanied by Mrv Steole . Triumphal arches Were thrown across the road on which he passed . At Balrothery , San try , Swords , and various other places , there was scarcely a single houso , cottage , or cabin , on the way side which was not tastefully hung with laurel , in honour of his visit . At half-past ten

      o ' clock he arrived at Balbriggan , where he was entertained at a public breakfast , at which many of the surrounding gentry were guests . The Rev . Mr . Fleming presided , and several other clergy were present . After breakfast an address was presented , on tho part of the inhabitants of Fingal , to the Liberator , by — Mathews , Esq ., of Tanner ' s-water . Mr . O'Connell having replied in eloquent and fervid language to tho address , took leave of his Balbriggan friends , and . j amid the cheers of a great multitude proceeded on his way to Drogheda . At Julionstown he was met by tho trades of Drogheda , bearing their appropriate banners ; also by teveral talented bands , which walked by the side of his carriage . The procession ^ whioh preceded him into the town , was three jniles in length , and the road was crowded bo densely that not an inch of the surface was seon . The numbers of those who took part in the procession may be averaged on a modorate calculation at 170 , 000 . — Freeman ' s Journal .

      Superseding of Magistrates . —In compliance with the expressed desire of tho underuamed gentlemen , writs of supersedeas for their removal from the commission of the peace have been issued , namely , W .

      DKSPKBATE AFFBA . Y BETWEEN THB POLICE AND Peasantrv . —• " Carrickmacross , June 5 . —A most melancholy circumstance has occurred here this day . The police force in town escorted John M'Eneany to the chapels of Maheracloono and Corduff , for the purpose of posting up ejectmeuta on ihe chapels , in order to substitute service , this being the last day . The police who went out with the sergeant in the morning , finding that the people ranged themselves between them and the chapel doors , and that they could not post the ejectments , very properly returned to town without using auy force , and then Messrs . Wilcox and Barry went

      out with them a second time , when the people got between them and the chapels in great num bers . Finding the posting could not be effected , Mr . Wilcox toak upon hinjself to interpret the law of riot , read the Riot ' Act , and tho people not having dispersed in the few minutes allowed , and being in reality ignorant of what tho naturo of such reading was , Mr . Wilcox gave the command to fire , when a round of ball cartridge was discharged by twenty-eight policemen upon a crowd of persons , the most of which , it islilleged , have taken effect . One sinan was shot dead , on the spot , and several more dangerously wounded . "—Eoening Freeman .

      Cheltenham . —J 6 seph King , the unfortunate victim of the Northloach prison , who was umble through weakness to give his evidence at the late j inquest on Jones , died on last Tuesday week . It was found di&Lault to hold an inquest , in conre- } quenco of tho two former victims , Boale and Jones , bmng witnesses te his ill-treatment . Hib owndeposi- tions , and also thoseof his parents , went to prove that i he must have died from the effects of the discipline I he was subjected to during his confinement . His remains presented a most heartrending appearance , ' but cannot be described . He was interred on Tuesday last . His age ^ waB twenty-two . He was sent to Northleach by the Cheltenham magistrates for stealing a piece of Btone of but a few pence in value . He was of a healthy disposition , but at distant intervals was subjeetf to aberrations of intellect . Id one of these temporary fits he was induced by some other lads to take the stone , for which he forfeited his life . —Globe .

      KNUTSFORD GAOL . TO THE EDITOR O » THE MOfiNING CHRONICLE . Sir , —After the manner in which my fortune and character haye been assailed , I hope I am not making an unroaspnable request in craving the indulgence of your inserting the following observations , in answer to tho ( se of Mr . Tatton Egerton , who seems to think he can only vindicate the conduct of tho Cheshire ms ^ strates by misrepresenting mine . This gentleman has , according to the report in your paper of the 2 £ fth , ventured to charactoriza my petition as " onei tissue of falsehoods . " 2 > ir these are feard terms to apsly to a clergyman gfaduatvd at Cambridge and of thirty years standing , whose

      character for truth waysevsr before impu-gned , and who has in his possession the testimonial of the bishop of the diocese , and , among others , of those who aro now his defamerd , [ signed only nine months ago—to s-ay nothing of thope of all tba clergymen under whom he served ad curate ; and I hope it is not unreasonable ' that I should enquire into the credit due to the gen- \ tleman who has become my accuser in such offensive ¦ terms . In the first instance , Mr . Tatton Egerton ! denied , in his place in Parliament , the truth of all ' those statements made by Mr . Duucombe as to the \ abuses practised in Knutsford Gaol , which have all | been subsequently proved by the very parties who deemed it their interust to deny them , '

      On tho 23 i ha commenced hia hardy and cruel assertions , bylstating ho did nut know who the magistrate was by whom I was warned of the insecurity of my tenure of office , although the gentleman ' s statement of this warning was made openly before the quarter sessions court , consisting of forty magistrates and as many bystanders as the room could hold . Mr , Davenporfs words were these , " I told this gentleman , who was a perfect stranger to mo , that if , as reported , his political principles differed from th ' ose of the chairman and the magistrates , he would do well to keep them to himself if he wished to Seep his situation , and that no opportunity would be neglected of getting rid of him " Now , this magistrate ' s statement having been made

      thus publicly , ] and published in the county papers , was pretty wo 1 known during the last six weeks by every body else except Mr . Tatton Egerton . Ho proceeds to complain that this was a libel upon the magistrates , whereas it was merely a prediction private , and which , unfortunately , proved ia a few months to bejtoo well founded ; for , from the beginning , I was received with coldness and distanea in manner , ar . d for-merely obeying an impulse , of charity in indicting two letters , one to ascertain an important fact ! , and the other to procare alleviation for a prisoner jsufiering under the sentence of a military tribunal , jl was brought before a committee of inquiry , who agreed in acquitting me of all culpa- 1 bility . Ytfi : tHe chairman , who had stated in open

      court that I had been acting very improperly , and 1 that he had Ino confidence in me , neglected his : duty in not announcing my acquittal to the . public ,, before whom fie had so unwarrantably accused me . ! Mr . Tattoni Egerton next ventured to deny the ' truth of my having been reproved by the chairman ' for having reported on my journal the repeated absence of the governor from prayers . And why does he deny ] it ? Because the party interested in ' exculpating himself from the extraordinary lauguage he used oil that occasion finds it convenient to dis- ' own it , and without any other reason . If the order j for the gaoler to attend prayers was given it was ' never obeyed , and he told me he would not obey any such orders .

      One of tho I principal charges against me being ' that I had withheld information from the magis- trates ; I answjered this charge by a statement of the ' facts which I did communicate , namely , the employment of prisoners in tbe unwholesome labour of emptying sowers for the gaoler ' s profit ( after he had received , £ 100 J a year added to his salary in lieu of perquisites ) , a ! fact which bad for three months been on my journal ] without the magistrates having taken any notice cf it . 2 , The Belling milk from his own cows to the officers of the gaol , contrary to statute . 3 . That he uWd the prisoners and the county property in putting new tires and new spokea and bushes to his chaise wheels . 4 . Employing the prisoners in his house and those of the subordinate officers . 5 . Tlw communicati ' on

      of the gaoler ' s servants with prisoners . 6 . The u ^ ing the prisoners in copying out income-tax papers . After stating jthus much , the chairman , who complains of my j want of readiness to communicate , said , " Th » re is ao use in asking him any more quo- ; - tions . You may retire ! " Mr . Tatton Ei ; ert /> n says , that this communication was not made until after the substance jof it was already known to the . magistrates . If that were true , which it is not , why did they ask f «> r itji And why was I never a % ed for it before ? And ' , again , why do they venture , in their reports to tho ! Secretary of State , to accuse mo of not communicating with them , when , on their first applying to me for information , I gave it in such abundance that tne chairman would hear no more ?

      I may here observe , that when a gent ' eman in my position , who is treated with reserve and aversion , and who observes that the gaoler could do nothing amis 8 in the eyes of the justices , and that whenever I reported hisjbreaoh of duty I only met with rebuke instead of approbation , it was hardly to be expected that I should be very communicative upon such matters ! Mr . Tatton Egerton says that no evidence of this statement was taken . Why they did not take this statement down is best known to themselves . Had they done so , it would have-somewhat interfered with their accusation against me for withholding information . Mr . T . Egerton ' s impartial justice overlooks the injustice done me at Chester ; and tho fac of the Chairman having put the

      question wnether I should be dismissed unheard and without any written notice either to myself or to the magistrates , jwho , aocording to their own rules , could not entortain such a motion , nor would he trouble jthe house with the evidence of two of the worst culprits , whose evidence amounted to nothing . Shore , Hate hospital nurse , now j holding another situation in the gaol ( and a survznl to Mr . Loyd , one of the' magistrates , and a rjisiting justice ) spoke to my being but a short time at the hospital ; to which I replied that he was very seldom there , and never attended me in my visits to the prisoners , and could therefore be no judge of what happened . Kent ( the uttc-rer Qf a forged note ) , iwho was brought up to complain that I did not give him particular attention , has since reaped tho rieward of his testimony , by receiving greater indulgences , in addition to the gaoler ' s promise to try to ! get him a pardon .

      It is insinuated that , because labouring as I was under indisposition , I could only call on Mr . ' Hoscoe , the magistrate ' s clerk , on Saturday , the 15 : h April , as three o ' clock , and again in the evening , and that against the advice of my medical attendant , and did not ask for 54 r . Pvoscoe ' s clerk instead of himself , therefore I wjas not anxious to learn the naturo of the testiraoay raked up from the sink of the gaol against me . 1 But I could not suppo ^ o that any man in Mr . Roscoe ' s confidential situation would leave such papers m the bauds of his clerks ; and here I mast express my gratitude to divine providence , 1 that , watched as I must have been during the three ; years and a jquarter of my rtaiiienoe in Knutsford , both in and out of the prison , in which I passed , i when necessary , an hour or two more than fha regu i lations required of me , nothing has occurred to 4 c-I privo me of tjie character I had previously boruo , 01 \ the testimonials of my respected diocesan , aud oi I gentlemen of the first respectability in the county .

      Mr . Tafctcn Egertoa stated that I had been reprimanded at trie January meeting , 1841 , for inserting : in my journal some strong remarks relative to the surgeon , viz } , " I found seventeen men and boyo packed together , perfectly naked , in a small room . 0 rub for the iich , in which place they are kept night i and day ; su ] eh a practice is disgusting and disgrao fnl in a chrikian country , and coutrary to decsn-y and morality . " For this entry I Wis ordered to . apologize to the 6 urgeonaud the magistrates , for . ihey 1 considered iijan insult to them , and a reflection on , the surgeon \ I have farther most positively ami j solemnly to State , that the revocation of tho . illegal order of the chairman , that I should confine my elf

      to my spiritual duties , was not communicated to me , either in words or writing , till the rec-nt inquiry . The magistrates' report is otherwise incorrect in slating that ] " I had been frequently , and in vain admonished for dissensions wii-h the gaolers . " Now , whenever there were dissensions they were from the gaoler ' s interference with my duties , and not from mine with his , and his manners and temper did not encourage needless intercourse . Any dissension deserving reproof ought to have been recorded ; but , at my dismissal , no evidence or charge whatever of this kind was made . Mr . Burgess never was reproved , nor [ any inquiry into these supposeddissensions ever instituted .

      Suoh was the magistrates' fear of hearing any charge against the gaoler , that I was , at bis suggestion , ordered to insert nothing in my journal till they had seen it . \ When X w ' as asked to tell them all that passed at my interview with tbe inspector , I , of couree , con-Bidered thatjgentleman ' s observations to be included ; and I defended myself front the obligation of giving them by staling my want of authority to do so . But I did tell th ' em ( when pressed ) What I had said , and could have told them more if I had not been stopped . I have thus given an answer to Mr . Tatton Egerton . the insertion of which Will greatly oblige . Your grateful and persecuted servant , W . Browne . M . A .
