      "R eformer employealiTe in the hearts of their workmen , and all » ho know them—any thing would be risked in support of their lives and property ; -while the latter are continually at variance nrith their meneausujgsinkes—disseminating falsehoods to cloak their own « vfl deeds ; detested fey the men ; shunned by the weO-meaning , and returning

      • To the vue dust from -whence they sprang ¦* "Unwept , nnfianotired and tmian g ' The contrast is so great , that did -we not daily see evidences to the contrary , -we' -would scarcely believe that any sane man wonld risk Ma reparation and his honour for that -which , in a few years , lie-will have to leave behind him , with the curse of industry marked npon his tomb . " Some of the employers in our locality , who never acted the better part of man to their hands , ( except they could not help it ) , are doing all they can to make the weU-intemtioned among yon believe that we are making use of the Piecers for means which will subaequent ^ r pro ve injurious to all ; and that we are encouraging them in that which we ought not to do .

      •• An nnifonn 1 M Price is what workmen and employers have always wanted , but a want of union and harmony on the part of both have prevented bo desirable an object . We can only learn by experience ; and all knowledge of the past tells us , how futile have been our efforts . When we have attempted to bring anprincipled employers up to the price of their neighbours , and the men have turned out , the labour market being fall , the places of those standing out have been filled by the surplus hands in the streets , and thus have « ur objects been frustrated . " We have taken the present plan of using the Pieeers as a matter of necessity , not of cbolee ,- forced npon us by the laSure of all past good exertions , and iwe believe we have the sanction and silent co-operation of those n-rorvngst you who understand the duties that ought to regulate employer and employed ; and did we set any thing attempted to he done wrong , we would be the first to assist in making it right .

      " Those who wish to pay a fair price for work done , bare nothing to fear , but will at all times be able to command the respect and support , net only of their own workmen , but all others who know themi and those who act a contrary part must deservedly expect to be ? detested , shunned by saint and rfnnar > " Those amongst you who have always shown a dispcaiaon to make yonr work-people comfortable , accept our heart-felt thanks and gratitude ; and long ' may you be able to foster industry—the wealth of empires ! sod may your names tot ever stand a beaming beacon to light avarice aad setf-aggran&rament into the paths of justice , integrity , humanity , asd charity , the Godennobled and ennobling principles of Tn » n

      hand too late for our last % asd now a portion is useless . We give the following extracts : — I have often felt proud of being an Irishman when I have frequently , witnessed noble and gpnaran traits in the « haracters of my countrymen ; but 1 afit confess th&tibs blush of hiymp ^ iui often mantled on my cheek when I have reflected , that I belonged to a land that has been so long the foot ball of your sportive merdnary , pecnlatJve policy . Ton have abused the slave holders of America ; but what have you ever been but a gre » t profitable slaveholder i have you not , by means of the lash of your persuasive tongue , forced the most impoverished people in the world to toil for years- at

      the chariot wheels of your despoiling polities ! power ? Yoor Bepeal policy has always been a failure with you , except as far as the rent , is concerned . In the first place , your arrogant ambition led you to denounce , and , when you could , destroy , many talented and energetic friends of the people , the moment they attempted to place their feet npon the same political platform with you . I -will net here mention names , as ihe veO of the tomb hangs o'er some of themi Tour exetnsive monopoly has deprived Treland of the assis tance of four millions "fr ^ g ^^* T > t * ffJ whose assistance in the time of seed would have enabled you to stand npon Conquer Bill , and tell the Sritish Minister to " post his proclamations nearer home . **

      For the last four years you have connived at the formation of a faction in England , with the feigned object of extending the suffrage from brick houses to mud walls , but really for the purpose of destroying the people ' s best friends , whom your arrogant ambition and exclusive monopoly could never acknowledge as such . O , sir , this is the rock on which you have split . This is the policy that lias desecrated the " field of fame ' . our chivalrous ancestors with the presence of bristling bayonets on the once glorious "Cenquer Hill of dontsrf ; " while by your bombast and bragadoci * you have caused a brave bat enslaved people to be more pojgnanQy insulted with the presence of troops , the very colour of whose coats are sufficient to recall , with thrming horror , the deeds of the Berisfords and their sanguinary cohorts ! * * * ?

      It would be too bad to see you in a similar place to York Gastle , with ** Ssrjeant O'leary and a few Irish beys" leading for your amusement your beasti&l buffoonery over Ihe fate of the amiable John Frost , when you thought be was on the verge of the yawning grave i No , No , Dan ; you will avert this if you can—and therefore you wish to come to England under the wins of Joseph Sturge . The road is being prepared for yon ; but mark there are thorns in it ! ? * Poor Jack Lawless once made yon cry in ihe Com Exchange for having offered to barter the forty shilling freeholders ; but it appears that unfortunate Ireland has no Lawless now to dip your golden pinions , or stay your aerial flight .

      . m THE EXECUTIVE'S ADDRESa Bbothsb . Chab-Iists , —We have by this day's post , received printed copies of certain resolutions agreed to in Nottingham , on Tnesday , October 15 th , which resolutions have been indosbioBsly circulated throughout the various towns in the kingdom , accompanied by letters requesting the Chartists to call public meetings , to express their opinion of our conduct , in striking the principles out of the Plan of Organization , and keeping the people in ignorance of the same . These resolutions have been published in one of the Nottingham journals ; but have been withheld in the Northern Star . We consider it decidedly improper for our Nottingham brethren to have taken these steps , without having first sought for an explanation from the Executive pro tern ., who were the parties

      on whom the business devolved . The report , in its main features , is entirely false . Previous to Mr . O'Connor leaving London for bis Northern tour , THE PLxs , as agreed to at ihe Conferemx , was laid before counsel for their opinion . No other Plan has ever been submitted to counsel ; but wishing to obtain Tidd Pratfs reasons for refusing to certify , and believing the " principles" to be the main objection , we , aetittg oh He suggestion of our legal adviser , and other influential friends , including the Editor of the Mrthern Star , in order to ascertain the correctness of this impression , laid the Plan again before his , is joxta-posltion with the Socialists * plan ; bat with the principles transposed .

      By so doing we fokced HIM To GIVE keasoKS TOE , His eefdsal j and those reasons we can now combat . We never intended to make any other plan than that stamped by the approval of Conference ; the groundwork of any legal proceedings . The principles of the Charter are our principles . By them we are determined to stand or falL If we fail in procuring the enrolment , we must proceed as we have hitherto done , without it ; but the principles we will never abandon . Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory , and that every attempt to create disunion will be bsfiled by the good sense of the people . We remain yours , T 2 OMA . S CLABK . BBSK ? BOSS .

      STORM AT LIVERPOOL , &e . We add some additional particulars to those we published yesterday : — The tide—as indicated in ihe almanack—was at the foil » t thirty-fire minutes past two o ' clock ; and in calm -weather would have risen to a height of fifteen feet ten inches ; but , driven In by the pressure of ihe gale , it flowed pome minutes beyond the hour stated ; attaintd a greater height , and , as might be expected , was more than usually tardy in its reflux after it had gained its maximum . The sea at high water washed over portions of the quays : and the

      steamers from the opposite ferries had some difficulty in landing their passengers , many of whom , both male and female , from farms in the neighbourhood , it being market d * y , did not venture to return until Sunday morning , when the storm had abated . Several large vessels that had put back came up in picturesque style under dose reefed topsails ; minor craft also appeared almost under bare poles . The Duke of Wellington , from Honduras , fell in with the brig Nile ( before noticed as lost ) , remained by her some time , and those on board saw her founder , with all hands , without being able to render her any

      assistance . The brig Mary , Captain James Turner , sailed from the Bay of Honduras , with a valuble cargo of mahogany , logwood , and coooa nuts for stowage , called at Cork for orders ^ and proceeded towards this port . Until she reached Holyhead she hold a favourable gale , and on Thursday morning took a pilot . On the afternoon of that day it came on to blow , and she was laid-to until two o'clock on Friday afternoon , when the gale moderated they rah a short distance , and let go both anchors ; unfortunately , howerer , the best gave way , and the larboard anchor was only an inferior one , and could not in any probability hold , it was shipped , and the crewreefed the foretopsail with the intention of again laving her to ; but ,

      so violent was the gale at this time that all attempts to set it after it was reefed proved abortive . With the fore-topsail shaking Bhe was held as olose to it as she could go , bat , making great lee-way , touched the shore about ten o'clock on Saturday night . As the tide rose she again ioated , bat only to drive further up , as she was bow perfectly unmanageable , the eea making a dear breach over hex ; -anvil daylight the crew suffered greatly . The agents at Lloyd's , Messrs . Tyrer and Eccles , who , with a person of the name of Meadows , were on the alert as daylight succeeded , by the assistance of a pony , in conveying the erew on shore . One , bowerer , was missing , and , on the agents retnrning ^ ie was found lying dead on the deck . His face was dreadfaUy mangled , and from all appearance he had been washed by a heavy

      sea beneath some loose spars on deck , which , on the water leaving them , had crashed him to death . An inquest will be held on the body this day . The unfortunate individual was cook and steward , and , we learn , belonged to Sheffield . The crew , inclusive of the captain , consisted of twelve persons , all of whom are considerably injured , and have lost all their elothes . After the crew were got on shore , the principal portion of them were taken to the receiving-house , -where they -were most kindly treated . A aamber of sails and other articles have been got on shore , as also have » quantity of the coooa nuts . The vessel herself has every appearance of becoming a total wreck , her hall having parted near thebendB . She ib the property , we believe , of Mr . Morrison , of this town .

      Early on Sunday morning a large portion of gram and other cargo was washed : on shore between Sonthport and Formby , but principally near the latter place . From the marks it bears it is evident that it is part of the cargo of the Lady Bentinck , which sailed on Thursday last from Waterford for Liverpool . Tne crew must all have perished , but none of the bodies have yet been recovered , nor has a vestige of the wreck been seen . The cargo was insured , but we could not learn whether the vessel

      waB or not . We learned that a large quantity of batter bad been washed on shore near Sontbport , and as the Ladj Bentinck had little or no butter on board , it is to be feared that some other Tessel has shared the same unfortunate fate . The Bloop Vernon , with a cargo of potatoes , the property of Mr . Cain , of Liverpool , was driven on Bhore about two miles to the northward of Formby Point . She was from the Isle of Man . Such was the force of the gale that she was driven up on the beach into three feet of water , so that ihe crew waded on shore . The Formby life-boat was out during the gale , but was unable to render any great assistance to the distressed vessels that were seen , owing to the frightful state of the sail . —Times , of Wednesday .

      Mobs Vessels Lost . —Every day brings intelligence of additional disasters during the late gale . The General Steam Navigation Company ' s packet , she Menai , Captain Goodburn , arrived at Brighton from Havre on Monday , and he brings information of the sinking of a Dankirk steamer off that town , when all bands perished . Near Beachy-head he spoke the Shepherd , of Glasgow , from Singapore . Yesterday morning , the stern of a vessel , bearing ihe name of "Ann and Laura , " was washed on shore at Brighton . It probably belongB to one of the vessels which we reported in yesterday ' s Times as having rank near Littlehampton on Saturday morning . —Times , of Wednesday ,

      The Siorm at Bxack > ooi- —The following is an extract from a private letter dated Blackpool , Sunday afternoon : — How I do wish you had been here yesterday to have witnessed the storm ! From ei * ht in the morning , throughout the day , and all last night , we have had an unremitting hurricane . The rain has now ceased , and the sun is shining beautifully ; but the wind is still high , and the sea roaring and raging in fearful grandeur . Several vessels are in sight : one in particular is so near the ehore as to cause much excitement and apprehension for her safety . She is now got jast opposite our hotel , and we can see the people on the deck quite distinctly . * * I fear the yoor vessel has stracb on the Eands . Crowds of people aw rashing towards ihe spot : it is a painfully exciting scene , and I feel £ omnnerved thai I can hardlj hold mjpen . The

      crew , 1 see , have got into a saall boat ; bat they appear to be inimmineBJ danger every moinent of bSnTswallowed np . * * . 0 ! the small boat is upset , and all lo ^ t ; I can write no more at p rese nt . * The boat has again appeared , wiik some of the poor men clinging toit . * * I have been down on the sands , and learn there were four persons in the boat ; a lady and gentleman , and two sailors . The two sailors have got to flhore abve rbat one of them , from ihe poor Lviy clinging to him bo long , seems almost dead . They hate been earned to Dickson's HoteL The vessel wrecked is from Qaebac , laden with floar and asnes . There are sWl eight souls on board , withoat the least hope flf being saved . It is impossible to render them the least ass stance . Poor men 2 may God have mercy « n tfiem ! The day is now very fine , but the sea is . still awiully grand . ''—Manchester Guardian .,

      Storm at Scarborough . —This place was visited with averjr severe storm on Friday evening last , which continued ihe whole of Saturday and the Saturday night . The brig Margaret , of Whitby , which was stranded on the 18 th nit ,, and had re znained on the sands , for the purpose of clearing her of her cargo , was attempted to be got off on the Thursday , ; and ihe work not being completed before the storm arose , she was taken out to Bea , and went to pieoes . Fart of her has since washed upon the sands . So great was the violence of the wind , that an unfinished house on the Esplanade was very much damaged , part of the end and front walls being blown down . The mill of Mr . Simpson Chambers , in Ramsdale , had a sail taken away , and several other persons , we understand , have suffered loss . The sloop " Georges , " of Leith , Craig , master , laden with barley , went on shore at . Filey daring the storm on Saturday morning . —York Courant .

      Thb Late Stoem . —The storm which took place on Friday and Saturday last , has caused great damage to vessels in different parts of the coast on both sides of ihe island , as well as on the coast of Ireland . Several serious disasters have also taken place to vessels at sea , and in some instances the crews have been drowned . From Whitby , Scarborough , Burlington , Hull , Liverpool , and other ports , the accounts of wrecks are numerous and disastrous . — York Courant . MAS CHESTER . FlOOD IN THB IEWFLL . —Db STBTJCTION Of THE TeMPORABT FOOT-BRIDGE NEAR the New Baflet . —On Saturday evening , inconsequence of the heavy and continued rain , the water in ihe river Irwell rose to an unusually considerable

      height above its ordinary level , and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs . Pauling and Henfrey , contractors , at Hunt ' s Bank , for the purpose of carrying the iron beams to form the intended railway bridge across the , river at that place . Th «; balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft , with great velocity and force , and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporary foot-bridge at the end of Bridge-street , communiaating with Salford . The result of the concussion was , that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle , leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet . This was about eight o ' clock , and the occurrence -was -witnessed by Mr . Wilson , grocer , who happened to be in his cellar at the time , and saw the beams floating down the river . The passage over the bridge was immediately stopped , Messrs . Bowers and Murray , the contractors , placing a watchman

      at each end of the bridge about ten o ' clock , to prevent people crossing . Parf of it fell about ten o ' clock , and another part about twelve , the same night } bnt , owing to the precautions taken , no life was lost nor any person injured . During this time the water continned to rise rapidly ; nevertheless , it is believed that the bridge would have remained as firm as when first fixed , bad it not been for the accident at Hunt ' s Bank . The water at its highest point was from four to five feet below the height to which it rose during the flood of 1839 . Several small boats were washed from their moorings between Victoria Bridge and the temporary bridge at the New Bailey ; some of these floated through the bridge in the early part of the evening without sustaining any injury , bnt others were broken to pieoes amongst the timber which floated from Hunt ' B Bank , and accumulated at the bridge . — Manchester Guardian .

      Extensive Robbery—On Thursday last a parcel , containing notes of various Yorkshire and other Country Banks , to the amount of £ 3 . 000 , was stolen from the counting house of Messrs Edwin Birchall and Sons , in the Talbot Yard , Bradford . The parcel was loeked-up in a drawer of the deok , and the room left in the charge of a young man named Woo . Booth , who had been for two years or more in their employ , for that purpose , on the market days . According to the statement of the yonng man he left for his dinner at half-past one , and returned at a quarter past two , leaving the key in the outer room . On the return of Messrs . Birohall to the room at

      about three o ' clock , at which hour they usually pay the manufacturers , the drawer was found open , the lock having been picked in their absence , ana the parol of notes abstracted . A pocket book contain * ing bilh and cash , consisting of bank note 3 , gold and silver , was left , which seems to lead to the suspicion that the persons who committed the robbing were previously acquainted with the contents of the parcel , otherwise it scstos probable that they would have taken the pocket book in preference . We understand that the young man , Booth , has been taken into custody ; but as yet no clue appears to have been obtained , that may lead to the detection of the thieves . The police are astively engaged in investigating into the circumstances of thh serious occurrence .

Of these , Crump and three others only are yec in custody . The facts are as follows : —George Hammond ( the deeeased ) and John Crump had a quarrel on Sunday evening last , with several of the parties who were afterwards at the fight . In consequence of some quarrelling ( but not with deceased ) Crump gave a sort of general challenge , saying he would fight any one in Sutton , big

      or little—which Hammond accepted ; observing that they had had words before , and would be better friends after they shoald fight and Bee who was master . Monday morning the parties , with aboat twenty or thirty others , proceeded to the place between seven and eight o ' clock . They fought for two hours and twenty minutes , during which time there were seventy or eighty romndb . There does not appear to ; have been anything particularly unfair , according to the roles of the ring , in the mode of conducting the fight , although it is stated that Crump fell upon him with his knee ia his stomach . The final result was , that Hammond on standing np to renew the fight , reeled a few paces back , fell down apparently ia a fit , was carried in an insensible state to a farm-honse , and expired before surgical aid was procured . —Muoclesfield Courier .

      IMPORTANT MEETING AT SADDLE-. WORTH . THE TtHJCKSTER-LEAGBERS POTJNDEB TO PiECES . On Friday evening , October 27 th , a meeting was holden in the large room attached to the Swan Inn , Doboross , cwbiohj will be remembered with pleasure by one portion ] of it , and with chagrin by another portion , for a long time to come . The large room was crowded to suffocation ; and hundreds had to depart , who could not obtain admission . ! No meeting for a long period has excited , 1 so much attention as the one we are now chronicling . A great number of masters were present ; and the sequel will show that it was well for them that they were bo . H . H . Broughton , Esq ., a magistrate , was ia the chair ; and he introduced to the attention of the meeting Dr . Sleigh , who for about an

      hour-and-a-half pleaded m defence jof the rights of labour , and against the acts of the " rich oppressor . " His arguments and facts were wormwood and gall to the free trading trackstefs . They could not contain their bile and spleen ; bat tried to throw the meeting into confusion by most unmannerly interruptions . The foremost at this kind of work was one James Lees , who by some unaccountable means or other has been manufactured into a magistrate . A more pompous , conceited , ignorant , unmannerly , tough-bided brute , could not be found in all Saddleworth ; and that is saying a great deal . His conduct was most shameful . He failed , however in his object . The people were not with him . They laughed at him ; derided him ; and put him down / (

      Dr . Sleigh , at the close of his able address , introduced his admirable Memorial for the Protection of Labour , in which ihe I case of Protection v . Free Tradeism is so well stated ; and a motion was moved that the Memorial should be adopted by the meeting . j James Greaves , of Lees , once a pretended Chartist , but now employed by the Leaguers , offered a quassi sort of opposition ; but dare not venture to move an amendment . He offered to discuss with Dr . Sleigh the question of a Repeal of the Corn Laws ,

      if arrangements \ rere made . He showed his fitness to discuss either that ] question or any other , by stating , point blank , and stoutly maintaining , even when set right , that our foreign trade alone employed one half of our population I Dr . Sleigh said , that ihe must deoline such discussion , not out of disrespect to Mr . Greaves : but he had challenged Messrs . Cobden and Bright ; and both those gentlemen had declined the challenge . He bad repeated it however ; and he intended to wait to see whether it was accepted or not , before he discussed with any lesser man of the League .

      James Lees , the magistrate , then addressed the meeting on the question of foreign trade ; cod tending that it was far more important than many parties seemed disposed to oonsider it . In proof of his position he quoted ! from a Btatiatical table , to shew that the foreign trade was more than . one-half as valuable as the home trade . Dr . Sleigh replied . He produced the table from which the hard-hided | magistrate had quoted ; asd showed , most triumphantly , that he had suppressed the truth I He had only given a portion of the table ; that portion which seemed to favour his position ; while the remainder he had kept in the back ground , because it upset the argument he had been advancing . This the Doctor showed to be the oase most conclusively , and convicted Less as a liar in intention before the meeting .

      Mr . HoB 3 ON , from Leeds , who had attended at , the request of a number of the working people , next addressed the meeting . The announcement of his naoie caused great consternation amongst the TRUCKiNG-masters , who were present . He had been pat in possession of a number of facts of a most astounding nature , relative to the prevalence and practice of truck amongst the FREB-traders ; and be used them with terrific effect ! It was as if a bombshall had been dropped in amongst them . The trucking-masters quitted their ( seats ; crammed themselves into corners ; got behind folks ; pulled their hats over their ( eyes ; and would have sank through the earth toi have got out of the place . The crowded state of the roo ^ n prevented them from departing ; or their presence would soon have been removed . The facts we shall , at some future time , make use of ; and tell all about the doings of " Lord . Lotherdale" and his set of free- % taAexa % who tie their poor slaves to their own counters !

      Before the memorial was put to the meeting , an amendment by way of an addition to it , was moved , to the effect that Protection to labour would be effeoted by a Repeal of ihe Bread and Malt taxes . When pat to the vote , not thirty hands were held op for it , oat of a meeting of more than five hundred . And when jthe memorial was pat to the voto not one hand was held up against it . It was carried unanimously . ] James Lees then valiently challenged Dr . Sleigh to discussion ; he baling heard him declare that he

      should decline a set discussion with every man , until he had met either Mr . jCobden or Mr . Bright . This valient offer Mr . Hobson witheringly exposed ; and told the anmious-for-discussion man that if he meant the challenge in earnest , he ( Mr . Hobson ) would accept it , and discuss the question with him . Bat Lees now fell soft . He dare not tackle to . He slunk off : and the last we heard of him , was that he was in the "bar" ofithe Swan Inn , at half-past three next morning , with ten glasses of brandy-andwater in him , hiccuping that " he was the man that could beat them all" ! \

      The Leaguers are discomfitted . Their rage is boundless ; only to be compared to the joy of the working people at their defeat . The tyrannies of the masters in that neighbourhood have been most monstrous . They were exposed for once ; and the guilty culprits were in the presence of the people when the exposure was made . A reduction in the wages of the men employed by the tippling-magistrate , Ijees , had been effected on Monday the 23 rd ; while the wages of the men employed by a master ! in his own immediate neighbourhood , a Mr . Hastings , had been enhanced some four or five shillings a-week I The telling of those facts by Mr . Hobson had a wonderful impression on the meeting . The people in Saddleworth have had too much of the FREE-Traders to be in love with Free-Trade . {

      LATEST FROM IRELAND . THE STATE PROSECUTIONS . —NEW EVIDENCEi—THE POLICE . j Dublin , Oct . 31 . It has , up to this time , been a question whether the Government meant to go further back than the Repeal Demonstration ! at Clifden , county of Galway , for evidence to sustain the charges against Mr . O'Connell , and the other traversers . The only informations sworn , of whioh copies had been supplied to the traver 8 ers , were those of Frederick Bond Hughesthe Government reporter ; sub-Inspector

      , Ireland , of the constabulary , whose depositions relate to the Clifden meeting ;! and those of Mr . Kernmis , the Crown solicitor , who swears as to the Repeal Association , sedition , and so forth . I apprised you before that I had some reason to believe the Government had other witnesses in the dark , whose names the traversers woald hear for the first time when they were produced in court . In Ireland , I remarked at the time , the Crown sometimes adopted this practice , although I considered it not at all likely that , it would be resorted to la a state prosecution . .

      According :, however , to the information which has just reached me , a considerable number of other witnesses are te be examined , besides those whose depositions have beeni published . Orders have gone down from Dublin Castle , directing a number of policemen , who hid attended the country Kepeal meetings in plain clothes , to be in _ Dublin next Friday mornings in order that they should be ready for examination before the term grand jnry to whom the bills of indictment against Mr , O Connell and the other tiraversers are to be sent up ^ . Those policemen , itj is stated , were disguised jb plain clothes , and mixed amongst the peasantry at the meetings , dressed in every way jast like themselves . I „ , , ,. The Attorney and ! Solicitor-General , and other Counsel retained for the Crown , held a consultation for some hoars yesterday , of coarse regarding the framing of the indictment , and generally respecting

      the prosecution . ] . The indictments against Mr . O'Connell and the other travewera are enormous in length . They are to be Eent before the ; Grand Jury on , Thursday or Friday . If true bills should be found , copies of the indictments are to be furnished io the tiaversere , who will , probably , also , be served with a notice to plead within four days . As the indictments are so extremely volumnioas , this would be most difficult , if not impossible , and jin all likelihood the Jadge will allow an extension of time for pleading . Mr .
