      HOUSE OF LOBDS .-F * n > AT , Feb . 26 . F The Bishop of London presented two petitions from places in Essex against any future grant to tte College of Haynooth ; also a , petition from & place is Lincolnshire against the sanction firen to SDpersti'Jonsprictices in India , and pnvia £ that the eaactmerjt on the subject might be carried into effect The BUI for extending the Banting A et to the county and city of Dublin vss read a seeo » d tiros and

      comxnitUd . The Earl of MorwT KDQBCTriiBB presented a petition from Falmovth , complaining of fae removal of the West India packet station from . Falmooth to Dartmouth , and praying that the change might not be sanctioned until their Lordships had inquired into the matter . Th » Neble Earl , 'who supported the prayer of ib » petition , concluded by moving that the report of the eommiflsienen on the subject should be laid before the House .

      Viscount Melboesxe said , that the Government had nothing whatever to do ¦ with the place from Trbich the vessel * were to start—that depended upon the company to -which they belonged . All that GoTemment had done was to reserve to itself the right is to the port from which the mall should start , and they bad determined that they should proceed from the port of Dartmouth . He had never beard any opinion in favour of the port of Falmouth , except from those parties who were connected with the county ot Cornwall . Lord Ashbciltos thought the arrangement made by the Goverssiest iras a most absurd one , because the Vessel would have two hir boars to nnke instead of one upon every voyage .

      After & few observations from the Earl of Minto and Lord Melbourne , the petition was ordered to be laid on the table ; and a copy of the report of the committee on the subject of the departure of the "West India mails was ordered to be prestated to the House . Their Lordships adjourned at a quarter before six o ' clock till Monday .

      Monday , March 1 . No pnblic bnsiness of any importance was transacted . Their Lordships sat but for a few minutes . Tuesday , March 2 . The Earl of Aberdeen stated , in reply to a question from the Earl of Dalhousie ,. that it was not his intention to bring forward again the Bill relative to the Church of Scotland , -which be Imd introduced in the last Session of Parliament .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Feb . 26 . The Severn Navigation Bill was read a second time , after a brief discussion . Mr . Hisdlet presented an excellent petition Irsm Ashton for a revision of the TarifL Several other petitions were presented . In answer to Mr . Huxk , Mr . Mavle Btated that an account of the expence of Lord Cardigan ' s trial might be laid before the House . Lord Stanleys Registration Bill was postponed till Monday . The Hoasa went into Committee on Lord Keane's Annuity BilL In the Committee , Mr . Ewart moved to omit the words extending the grant to the two next heirs , so as to confine it t © Lord Eeane for his life .

      Captain Hamilton , who has before exhibited symptoms of anindependent mind , though he be a Tory , supported Mi . Ewart . He regretted that the people out of doors fcbould suppose that the granting of a peerage and a pension must go hand in hand . Sir Joh > - Gai ^ , HoBHorsE supported the original xnoiioa . After a short debate , the Committee divided , and the or iginal motion was carried by 117 to 74 . The Bill went through the Committee unaltered . The East India Rom Duties Bill also went through a Committee . The Railways Bill was committed , pro forma , to enable Mr . Labouchare to introduce some amendment in it A motion for a Bill to enable Municipal Councils to borrow mozu-y on Annuities was withdrawn . The House adjourned .

      Monday , March 1 . Mr . ARMSTK 05 G took the oaths and his seat for King ' s County . Lord J . Russeix , in reply to a question from Sir 3 . Graham , said that a pension had been granted to Lieut . il'Ccrmackjfor "woundsreceived in the capture of the Caroline . He wa 3 not aware of the fact when asked the question on a former evening by Sir R- Inglis , Lord J . Rpssell then stated , in reference to the Parliamentary Voters ( . Ireland ) Bill , that in the stale of the public business it would be extremely ineinvenient that the discussions in committee should take place before Easier . He should , there fore , propose io go into committee in the first we = k after the Easter lolioays , and would name Friday , the 23 rd of ApriL

      Lora Stanley strongly expressed his surprise at the delay pr \ posed by the Is ' oble Lord in a measure of such importance . He gave nGtice that in ' committee he would take the sense of the House against the clauses relating to lie . £ 5 franchise , and then commented in energetic lan ^ ua ^ e u son the course adopted by the Government . He gave the Noble Lord credit Jor great ingenuity in passing over no less than twelve order days before he brought on the committee , by which means he might perhaps

      be enabled to defeat his ( Lord Stanley's ) Bill by postponing it until a period , when lapse of time alone vrouid be fatal to its success . He strongly suspected the . motives which had led to 1 M 3 course of proceeding , but would at present content himself -with postponing the reading of his Biii until the 24 sh of March , pledging himself thas wuhin tec days before that day he would state to the Noble Lord whether he would or not , under the circumstances which might arise , press the sesond read ' ini upon that day .

      Mr . Goulbcks observed , in reference to the Post office revenue , that the amount paid into the Ex chequer during the past year was stated to b < £ 447 , 000 , thus showing a deficiency of £ 1 , 200 , 001 ) He wished to know whether the revenue aris . i ^ from official correspondence , which was paid by ; tow of the House , amounting to about £ " 200 , 000 pc annum , v > 23 or was not inclnded in the sua o - £ 447 , 000 , and also whether the balances in ih hands of ihs collectors were not included , whid balances biring , he believed about £ 200 , 000 more would , in fs £ t , show a total loss of the Po 3 t-o £ 5 c revenue , wiih the exception of Borne £ 40 , 000 c £ 30 , 000 .

      The Chascellob of the Exchequer said , tha the Bight Hon . Gentleman was correct in supposini that the ofaeial correspondence revenue was includ ed , as it always had been , in the return of mome paid into the Exchequer ; but he was wrong in th amount , as , iartssd of £ 200 , 0 G 0 , it was onJy abou £ 70 , 000 . With re-pect to the balances in the hand of collectors , ia consequence of recent- arraDgemett respecting money-orders , it had become . necessar to allow larger balances than heretofore to reffiaii in their possession . The House then resolved itself into a committee o snpply , and Mr . O'Fb&rall brought forward th < navy estimates . He stated , that the number o

      • hips of all kinds employed last year was 239 , and that the number employed on the 1 st of January this year , was 242 . This gave only a numerical increase of 3 ; but there was a great increase in the strength of the vessels , requiring a corresponding increase in the number of men . He . therefore , propostKl to increase tbe number from 37 , 165 , the number last year , to 43 , 000 ; and tha increased amount of money it would be necessary to vote he estimated at about £ 766 , 000 . The Right Hon . Gentleman concluded by moving that a mm of £ 29 , 694 be granted to make up the deficiency in the expenditure of the navy up to March , 1840 .

      Sir G . Cxkbk . condemned the practice of askim Parliament for a sum of money insufficient to main tain the efficacy of the pavy , and be consequently obliged to come to Parliament to make good the de " sciencies of former years . Lord J . Russell replied that the number of ves « els coming home at the time the estimates wen asked for , rendered it unnecessary , in the opinion o the Government , to ask for an increased estimate a it was probable that some of t hem would be pnt ou of commission .

      Mr . Hcmb thought the course pursued by tt Government , in their negotiations respecting Turkc fr&s calculated to ite&ken that country , and to di tarb the peace of Europe . After some conversation the vote was agreed to . On the next vote being proposed , Sir B » Pat ¦ wished to know whether , when it was said by tl Government that the eastern question was settle * it was merely meant that there was an absolui impossibility that Mehemet Ali should again obtai possession of Syria , —or whether , as be hoped wa the case , that the question was so settled as regards France , that there was no reason to apprehend as

      further misunderstanding spon the subject ? Lord Paxk kbston replied that if the Bight Hon Baronet meant to ask him what was the state of th < relations between -France and England , he woulc say that he did not see anything connected wirt those matters , or likely to arise out of them which in his opinion could tend to interrupt the good understanding between the twt > countries . On the vote for 43 , 000 men for the ensuing year , Mr . Evmb objected , and said , if 35 , 000 mei were sufficient to accomplish all that had been recently accomplished , he could not see the necessity « f increasing the naval force to the extent of 43 . 00 C men .

      Lord Paioceestok said that when other navi powers were increasing their naval armaments , j would scarcely be prudent for this country not t place her naval forte upon an efficient footing also ,

      Mr . Home thought England should set the examle of reduction . It appeared as if England , having rst insulted Fiance , the only power with which be was on bad terms , was now disposed to defy er . The vote for 43 , 000 men was then agreed to . The House , after agreeing to some other votes i committee , resumed , and the report was brought p . The other orders of the day were then , disposed of , nd the House adjourned .

      Tuesday , March 2 . Mr . Easthope gave notice , that on the 16 th of larch he would move for leave to bring In a Bill to bolish Church Rates in England and Wales . Mr . Wallace moved for the appointment of a Comrittee to inquire into the duties of the nearly sinecure Eces of sheriff principal , or chief stipendiary judge , in ich county in Scotland , and also into the system under rhich these stipendiary judges nomidate deputies to erform the laborious duties of the County Courts of cotlanti . After same discussion , the motion was negatived fey majority of 86 to 37 .

      Mr . CoLQrBODN moved for leave to bring In a Bill 3 alter and amend the Acts of the Irish Parliament rekting to the College of "Maynooth . His object was not y this Bill to put an end to the grant to Msynooth , a that would be a tubject of future consideration , but a put an end to the sanction given to it by Governlent , by the system ot visitation , ice , which was laid own by law , but which was no longer acted upon . Aiter some angry discussion , leave was given to bring i tie Bill . Tbe Boose soon after adjourned . Wednesday , March 3 . The Che ! ssa Poor Bill was read a second time . Mr . E . Tesnext moved the second reading of the tesigna Copyrisht Bill , which was opposed by Mr . W . Villiams , who moved , as an amendment , that tha Bill e read a second time that six months .

      Mr . Sheil said that the calico printers of Scotland and Ireland were in favour of an extension of the copyright , while those of Lancashire were divided upon the qutition to such an extent that it became a subject of exciUment and agitation . The Government would not object to extend the term to six months . Mr . Gheg was of opinion that the extension of the copyright would be extremely mischievous to the calico trade . Sir K- Peel thought a case had been made out sufficiently strong to justify the second reading of the Bill . Mr . WiKBUHTos thought ttiis question very different from that of a copyright in books , and wouid therefore support the second reading . Mr . Laboichere was in favour of the extension of copyright , but only to a period of aix mouths . After some further discussion , the second reading was agreed to witheut a division .

      Mr . Hodges moved the committee on the Constabulary Bill , which was opposed by Mr . F . Maule , who moved that it be committed that day six months . After some discussion the Bill was negatived by a majority of 58 to 36 . Mr . Kelly moved the second reading of the Punishment of Death Bill , postponing the discussion upon it until a future stage . The Bill was accordingly read a second time . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

      Celebration Of The Release Of Mr, Henry Vincent, From Oakham Gaol. (Reported By Our London Correipondeat.J

      CELEBRATION OF THE RELEASE OF MR , HENRY VINCENT , FROM OAKHAM GAOL . ( Reported by our London Correipondeat . J

      On Monday , the friends of Mr . Vincent , and of the muse for which he has suffered long and most oppressive incarceration , gave a dinner on the occasion of his release , at the "White Conduit Huu&e , London , for the purpose of awarding thtir congratulation , and publicly txpressing their sense of the great services he has rendered in his consistent and powerful advocacy of the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter . The tables were furnished forth in the theatre of the Tavern above-named , but it was soon found , after the rush to obtain seats had somewhat subsided , that the ainp ' . e dimensions of that noble room were insufficient -or the accommodation of the unexpected number tLat presented themselves , and tables were accordingly spread in another apartment .

      The time appointed was four o ' clock , but it was nearly five before the arrangemfenis were complete , ¦ when the ch&ers which burst forth at the end of the room , and which in an instant became general , announced the appro 3 ch of the guest of the evening . The band , stationed in tfce mu » ic gallery , joined in the greeting thus warmly bestowed ; and Mr . Vincent passed through the company and took his seat at the cross-table , on the right of Mr . Lovett , who occupied the ctair . The company , at this period , presented a goodly show of highly respectable persons , amounting in number to about five hundred , among -whom were

      many elegantly attired females -, and tbe Rev . Dr . "Wide having pron&uncod " Grace , " an excellent dinner was discussed , -with seemingly high relish , by all present . Tbe prevailing taste , howfcv * r , appeared to be ieet ^ Um , for water odIj was drunk by the greater number ; and , certiiiilj , the advocate of tutal abstinence might triumphantly txclaim , " Look upon this picture and on that , " in contrasting the perfect order and propriety of demeanour exhibited throughout the whole of the proceedings on this occasion , -with the disgraceful uprvar , and miserable squabbling , for -which the great Whig aud Tory meetings are invariably distinguished .

      After the removal of the clcth , the drop-scene of the raised stage , to the base of which the tables extended , was drawn up , and seats being placed in the front , three or four deep , afforded accommodation , and a most commanding situation , for those who had not been enabled to procure seals in the body of the room , and gave a picturesque and impeding effect to the entire scene . The Chairman , in rising to propose the first toast , said they had assembled there that evening for the purpose of expressing their sympathies for a man "who had suffered deeply in their cause , aud to congratulate him on escaping a prison death . ( Cheers ) Vincent had suffered two trials : he had been imprisoned twenty mocihs ; yet he was before the asM-inbled Chartists of London to tell them that he stood before them the tame

      man—the same determined advocate of the People ' s Cnarter , which would alike protect the iuien-sta of ali , and E-2 cara tile happiness of the people upon tlie only solid basis . He came befure thun to ihevr that the punishment of the body did not establish the conviction of tho mind . ( Cheers . ) If the enemies of the Charter "wished to convert the Chartists , thty must first convince . . Man , izowever , wouJd not be man , if he did not sometimes err ; and thus some , cast up to the neck in poverty , have suffered their misery to lead them into acts which have unhappily retarded the cause they were lierirous of promoting . ( Hear . ) He would implere of all to avoid any abatement of the principles of the CharUr ; ltt them pursue their cuurse with detenninatica , but let them shew to the world that they -were ; f cpisiun that their great cause was best served by sober , temperate , and prudent

      conduct—< cheers )—aj ; d * » prove that democracy was as beneficial in practice aa it was just in theory . ( Hear . ) Even the middle classes , if they saw their own btst cenrse , ought to join with them , for the present system "sras annually \ rasticg their capital , anri eventually must reduce them to the level of the labourer . They ought to join the Cuartists against the common enemy . The great danger lay in delay , and he trusted they "would soon see theix foily and join them , in order to secure the peace , the happiness , and the prosperity of the country . With these prefatory remarks , he begged leave to propose the toast— " The People , and may they speedily obtain their political nghte . " The toast was drank with loud cheering . TheCBAlBMAN taid the next toast was— " Henry Vinceat , the eloquent advocate of the people ' s rights ; health and prosperity to him . " It was unnecessary for him te say & word in favour of that toast .

      The toast was drunk enthusiastically , with three times three . Mr . Yjncekt said it certainly gave him much pleasure to see so many of his fnendB after an imprisonment of twenty months , and he was happy to say in the best possible health and the highest spirits —( cheers )—and with increased love for their glorious cause , and he begged to thank them most warmly for the cordialthe Radical reception they had given him . He did not look upon the assembly he saw before him as a personal compliment to himself , but as a demonstration made in favour of liberty which he had struggled for , and -which he stood before them to advocate , it had been bis fortune or misfortune to take part with his fellow-workmen during a fearful agitation for the accomplishment

      of their political liberty , and in his advocacy he had fallen into a snare which had been purposely laid for him by the aristocrat * who misruled the country , with the view of stopping him from advocating those principles which were embodied in tbe People ' s Charter , but he pledged himself they had totally deceived themselves . He had been placed at the bar at Monmouthbrought before a Jury , but not a Jury of his Peers , as in the case of Cardigan the other day—he was not tried by a Jury of working men , but a Jury of men whose prejudices had been excited by the paltering and insidious statements which had been constantly appearing in both Whig snd Tory newspapers ; they found him

      guilty upon garbled evidence , and sent him to the county gaol . He was not before them to wail over his sufferings like a puling child ; he was not about to tell them of the sour skilly and the stinking bread , fur thanks to a good constitution he had kept his word in outliving his persecutions and laughing at his persecutors ; but he would just tell them one or two anecdotes of the manner in which the humane parson of the prison attempted to break his heart He was told that the Chartists then in that prison , would be bung by six at a time . ( Loud cries ot" shame . " ) They were told that the gaol was too full , and he , and Edwards , and Dick < = n * on were put in the condemned cells . Thifl was too good toz the paison—he waa afraid tb # v slight not

      Untitled Article

      know it , and he asked them it they knew where they were ? They replied , " yes , they were in the room * from which persons were taken to be hung , " ( Shame . ) From these cells they were takeu in order to make room for John Frost and bis companions after their illegal trial Well , after having been in gaol for twelve months , he was tried again tor an offence alleged to have been committed previous to tbe one for which he was suffering in the same county—they expected to have seen him broken in spirit , weak in . body , and pale in the face ; but , on the contrary , they found him courageous , bale , and hearty ; be waa , however , again found guilty , land further imprisoned , a thing almost unprecedented In consequence of the agitated state of the country , he was removed to the Penitentiary , when he was

      confined in an airy stone room of four yards long by twe wide , where they attempted to teach him the delicate art of tailoring . ( Laughter . ) He had only been th « t « two months when he was removed to Oaknam , where he was allowed the liberty of purchasing his own food , and again he lived like a Christian . Now , what waa the result of all this ? He went to prison a democrat —he stood there the same man ; and if he had not been active in London since his release , it was not owing to his having become lukewarm in the cause , but because he thought he was entitled to at least a few weeks ' relaxation , after an Imprisonment of twenty months . However , he was again before them , to vindicate the right of the working classes to be represented in the House of Commons . That was the cause of their

      meeting ; for be would hold any one in political contempt who could forget that great principle out of compliment to himself . He contended that every man should have a share in making the laws he was called upon to obey ; tbat was tbe principle of the Charter , and be would for ever advocate it to its fullest extent , and denounce any one as a public enemy Who would compromise any one of the five great principles it contained . After going at considerable length into the five great points of the Charter , the speaker denied that be had ever been a " pike and dagger" man ; he bad always been prepared to go along with the people in any course they thought it proper to adopt , bnt he had always been of opinion , and bad always advocated , tbat no ether means should be used than peaceful

      ones . They would never obtain their end unless they became a sober and a moral people . Let them attend to their domestic duties—let them look to their own families , forsake tha gin palace , and so shew tbe aristocracy that they wero a people worthy to be entrusted with the power they claimed . If they did not—if they continued to frequent the beer-shop and tho publichouse , they would be unworthy of the privileges they sought . If they were a soulless people , they might dethrone the royal family , and outlaw the House of Lards ; but they would fall back again into the condition of miserable and degraded slaves , and , in the language of St . Paul , " the last state of tbat people would be worse than the first" He was there to pledge himself , with all the ardour of

      youthful enthusiasm , to a renewed advocacy of the People's Charter . ( Loud and prolonged cheers . ) In his boy . hood he had been a democrat , and these principles had grown with his growth ; beside tbe printing press he had read the writings ef Paine , and Yolney , aud Cobbett , and Franklin ; he became an enthusiast in the cause of liberty , and be thought in tbe depth of his enth&siasm , that everybody else was like him , and that the pecple would . soon be free . ( Cheers . ) After having been confined twenty months in a prison , whose yard he walked in solitude , with no book to cheer him , and no friend to speak to , he came out with the settled conviction tbat a change must be made not less than the People's Charter ; but as much further as tbe strength of the public mind will carry it ( Hear , beat . )

      Now , ( said Mr . Vincent , ) a word as to the meaus : ~ -the days of idle bombast and rant are gone by ; the common sense of tbe nation is with us ; and every attempt at mere folly will recoil on our own heads . If we content ourselves with attending public meetings , and returning with congratulations on having beard " excellent speeches , "—if we talk about our readiness to do anything for tbe public cause , and yet are offended if a sixpence in the shape of contribution be required of us ; —then , the sooner we abandon our false position , the better for ourselves and others ;—but , even in this room there are a sufficient number , if their energies be rightly directed , to effect a moral and political revolution in London in two or three years . Tbe most enlightened minds and tbe must

      virtuous hearts must combine in one large society for the erection of a Trades' Hall , and for sending forth missionaries to call the drunkard from tbe gin-palace —( loud chotrsi—to point to the poor broken-hearted and wretched being who , while her husband is on bis way to thu pawnbruker ' a , to pawn her rags for drink , is starving with her family , perhaps , in a miserable cellar . Is such a being worthy the name of man ? ( Cries of " No , no . ") Then we must reform him ; and if it be not possible to reform him by any other means . l implore even tbe most jovial a « ul among you to lend a helping band in tbe establishment of democratic teetotal societies , iu soberisiag tbe population , in watching individais , and in putting down the cant and humbug ot the fanatics . ( Hear , bear . ) We have the power of quittly revolutionising our country , if we will but exercise that power iu a proper manner ; our salvation lits in « ur own bands , and if we are determined to free our country , as 1 for one am , let us battle

      with every slave till we have achieved out object ( Great excitement and prolonged cheering . ) Aly heart is with you—my soul is with you—and I never felt more determined to go forward in a righteous cause . I am bound to " keep the peace , " and 1 will keep it , like an honest man ; but , by thu God that made me , I will devote every energy to spread those principles that shall prepaie the way for the greatest measure of happiness to tlxa tuUru people . Let not men say , " 1 am for Paul , " and " I am for Cephas , "say not 1 am for Lovett , and 1 for Frost , or Vincent , or O'Connor—but let the cry of all be , " 1 am for tbe Charter "—( loud cheers )—juid so improve the public mind that befoje another annual revolution be competed , the watchword wiJi bo " Loag live the people to nuke good laws ; lung live liberty ! " ( Tumultuous cheering , lasting for several minutes , greeted Mr . Vincent at th . 9 conclusion , as at the commencement of bis address . )

      Mr . John Cleavb rose to propose the next toast : — " The People ' s Charter ; may it speedily becoaie the law ef the land . " He felt , in proposing this toast , that be had a sacred duty to perform , as an unenfranchised citizen ; and , notwithstanding ail that their friend Vincent had so well said about bis ardour and enthusiasm being undiminished , those wbo have gone a little before him might be permitted also to renew their declarations of energy in the cause of the People ' s Cb&tter . Mr . Vincent bad very ably gone over tbe various principles embodied in the Charter , and though be was eloquent throughout , he felt perhaps that he was a little trespassing ; ti . ough at the same time be felt that he waa here unfairly put upon his trial , in rebutting the various calumnies tbat some dirty ,

      sneaking cowards , who dared not speak openly , had whisptred about , that Vincent had abandoned his principles . ( Loud cheers . ) But he bad not stopped to snarl with the snarlers ; he took up the ^ e principles ,, and showed that he was the same Chartist at heart as before he entered the Whig dungeons . Mr . Cleave then proceeded to state that the means of advancing the cause of the Charter must not be negeuted ; he had considered these means , and hod come to the conclusion that it was folly to fritter avray the means which a life of industry supplied , while fifty millions a year continued to be spent in spirits and beer ; tbe man who had not slain

      his sins wus a fit creature for Whig or Tory despotism . ( Loud cheers . ) Referring to the address of Mr . Vincent , ( as originally published in the Star , ) the speaker said that if tbe working men of this country would act up to the spirit of tbat address , and devote that which they now spent in intoxicating drinks to their own sslf-ek-Vation , the humbug of " moderation" would be siain outright , and ttetotalism would be teetotally triumphant . In conclusion , he urged upon all the friends or the Charter to give up the pot and the pipe , which formed a dead weight upon the working man in . this country . No friend to the People ' s Charter Sronld spend Urit upon poison , which he ought to devote to the regeneration of his c « untry .

      LIr . Lloeas said , it waa hia melancholy duty , in the toast he had to propose , to refer to friends who were not there , but whose zeal for the cause of Chartism bad made them the victims of oppression , and he truttol that equal zeal would be manifested in their endeavours to place those frieuds again amongst them . He alluded , &mong others , to the venerated and aged Frost , who was the victim of an illegal Eenteuco ; ai . d they "would recollect that their friend Hetheringtcn was detained over the water for an offence against church craft . Ho would then propose ,

      " The speedy return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all imprisoned victims of political aud religious persecution . " —( Great applause . ) He trusted they would indeed Boon bo brought back from their distant banishment , to which they had been consigned by the machinations of Whig and Tory , whose votes never failed to be blended together agaiust those who advocated the cause of the people . But , he repeated , they had been illegally transported . The quibbles of law , so successfully urged in the recent case of one who was distinguished by the prefix of Lord" to his . name , were not allowed to be entertained ia &voar of the unfortunate men in question . Tbe same measure of justice was not extended to them ; for he did not deny the justice of Lord Cardigan ' s acauittal : the

      law of evidence ought , in all cases , to be strictly enforced , not only with respect to identity of persons , but every particular point which has been subjected to lflgal regulation . The accused ought to have the fall benefit of such law , then why was it withheld from Frost and bis companions Their case was similar to that of Lord Cardigan . An exception was made on a poiut of law by thtir counsel , and the Judges said they would reserve tbe objection ; and when counsel aisked jf they should stand in the same situation as if tho objection was taken , then the Judges acquiesced ; and , on the afterconsideration of the question at issue , nine oat of fifteen Judges were of opinion that the objection in favour of the prisoners waa valid ; and when tbe next obstacle was raised—when it was urged on tbe part of tbe prosecution that the objection bad not been made i * time , and that therefore tha prisoners

      Untitled Article

      were not entitled to benefit by it , six of the Judges were of opinion that it teas made in time . ( Hear . ) But the fact was , in cases of murder such pleas might be admitted ; but , if the fate of a political opponent w « re involved , he was deprived of everything that might save him . He would remind them , too , that the aged mother of Frost was yet living , in the hope tbat she might once more look upon her child ere she died ; and the wives , children , friends , all wbo were in any way connected with those unhappy exiles , and thousands who were not , would join ia working out their deliverance . They ( the meeting ) would also recollect , that Frost was of a class above them , but that he bad given up all for the prosecution of their cause . Mr . Moore concluded

      by strongly reprehending such prosecutions as that instituted against Mr . Hetherington , and expressing a fervent hope that Frost , Williams , and Jones might be once more among them . ( Prolonged cheering . ) Mr . Pjut , in supporting tbe toast , observed , that Frost was , in every respect , au upright man , and the poor man's friend ; and if one man was aware of those facts more than another , it was their little enthusiastic friend Vincent . But Frost was in a penal settlement , while Lord C : tadigan was pronounced "Not guilty , upon my honour . " Away with such honour—the honour of theso king-made nobles ; but Frost was a noble of nature , aud carried with him into exile the impress of superiority . ( Applause . ) It had been said that the case of Frost and that of Lord Cardigan were parallel oases : he

      was not of that opinion ; he thought them widely different . In Lord Cardigan ' s case , a foul design was manifested ; a design upon the life of a fellowcreature ; need he tell them , that in the case o Frost nothing of the kind was exhibited . The wrongs that had been inflicted upon the people—the insults that had been heaped upon them by refusing theirjpetitions ; these working upon miuds not so intelligent as they ought to be , bad induced the commission of acts which were deeply to be regretted , and for these Frost bad suffered , and was suffering ; and that man , whose mind waa as little as his body , Lord John Russell , was at the bottom of it . ( CheerB and applause . ) He set engines to work for

      entrapping the best of men . The outrage which formed a plea for severity might have been prevented if proper means had been adopted ; but it certainly was , in a great measure , justified . H « trusted they would never cease from their exertions , until placed in the position which they were entitled to by the laws of God and the laws of reason . The toast was then put from the chair , aud received with general applause . Mr . Neesom then rose , and observed , tbat in having the toast he was about to submit placed in his hands , he considered himself more highly honoured than any of the company , as it waaone which bo individual whose mind was properly regulated would fail to approve . It was

      "Tholadies who have honoured us witi their presence . Ar they are alike interested with us in good government , may they still lend us their powerful influence to obtain it . AH who were there present , would well remember the time when the ladies were not held in such high consideration ; but they knew that they were now the dominant party . —I Laughter . ) He bad ( and it might bo news to them ) on a particular occasion , received an order from the Court of Queen ' s Bench to appear , as he understood it , personally before the Queen ; but they would anticipate what his feelings were when he found it was all a hoax . —( Laughtcsr . ) The first office of the State was now filled by a woman , and one , too , not of the greatest experience ;

      but they must support the dignity of their chief magistrate , who , being a woman , rendered the propriety ! of this toast tbe more btrikingly manifest . He adverted to the reprehensible neglect of female education , and contended that it would be better that the opinion of the Turks , who held that Women have no souls , should obtain ia this country , than that they should remain as they were ; but he trusted that the time was not far distant wheu education would render them better wives , hotter mothers , and place them in that station in society , to which they were so nobly eutitled ; he trusted that the time was not far distant when iguorance would be swept from the gentler sex like chaff before the wind—when they would no longer be

      infatuated with the charms of a tawdry dress , or filled with envy because a neighbour exhibited a finer riband than themselves—when women , as well as kings , priests , and lords , muat give way to the growing intelligence of the people . ( Applause . ) lie hoped , too , that the time was not distant when meetings of this sort would be crowded with women . He again emphatically dwelt on the necessity of ennobling th * female and rai-siug her from tho station of a mere domestic menial , by education , but he advised them to educate their daughters themselves , and not hand them over to churcn and state schools . Let their education be duly attended to , and women and children would soon join the cry for Universal Suffrage .

      The Rev . Dr . Wade said , he perfectly agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr . Neosom , with respect to the ladies ; but , as to the Sovereign , he rather pitied her , as she evinced the possession of qualities which only required a more gonial atmosphere than a court . He was , in his youth , entrusted with a petition to William the Fourth . He was sent up with it , and he would assure them that , in its presentation , he was most roughly handled ; aud he overheard his Majesty enquiring of the Lord Lieutenant of his ( the speaker ' s ) county , " What ' s the meaning of this petition V in a tone and mauuer not at all ilatteriutf to his feelings . The Queen had acted very differently . He had also been entrusted with a petition to her Majesty , on behalf of Frost ,

      Williams , and Jones , winch he happened to take for presentation , on a day especially appointed for the reception of addresses only ; and her amiable conduct on that occasion , and the manner in which Bhe expressed herself , even in the presence of her courtiers , was such as convinced him that , if any fault were to be ascribed to her , it was imputable to a corrupt Court , and not to the natural disposition or inclination of the Queen . He went , as he said , on a day exclusively appointed for addresses , and was told that his petition would not be received ; but he told those who endeavoured thus to put him off , that he had a duty to perform for those who had seat hiin , and that ho should persist in his purpose . He did so , and her Majesty eventually received his

      petition in a most gracious mauuer . He adverted to the bri g ht prospects which awaited " us Chartists , " and said , he was what was termed a middio-class man ; and , aided by them , he could do much ; but consistently with his cloth , he must press for the employment of moral force only . Ho agreed with the sentiments uttered by Mr . Vincent , and contended that no one need be ashamed of being a Chartist . Iu this a £ o of inventions , nothing had been found out at all comparable with Chartism ; it meant a reformation of the democracy . They had formerly a Magtia Charta ; that was for the nobles ; but they resolved now to have a Reform Charter . They had obtained a Reform Bill , but that was a humbug . Those who carried it hallooed on the people , as huntsmen do their hounds ; but they ( the huntsmen ) took the hare , and then lashed back the hounds

      that had aided them to their kennels . ( Applause . ) But wouid they be suffered to do ao now ? Would such treatment now be tolerated ! No . The Charter they sought for was such as every Christian shouid advosate ; it involved what every Christian should strive to obtain for his country—equal rights , and equal laws . He would say to them , as Washington said to the Americans , when they wcro trying their great Chartist plan—be discreet , be moral , and show that you are worthy of the boon you ask for . Thin country was in a state of transition—things could no longer stand still . The Poor Laws must be amended , aud measures adopted which would render the people free and happy . He , for one , should make every possible effort to promote tko advancement and eventual 6 ucccs 8 of the cause in whioh they were all embarked . ( Loud cheers . )

      The toast was then formally submitted by the Chairman , and drunk with three times three . Mr . Cameron next observed , that a most unexpected aud pleasing duty had been imposed upon him , that of returning thanks in the name of the ladies . He proceeded accordingly ; and , after the expression of some suitable compliments , concluded with the hope that the rights aud dignity of woman would , erelong , bemore generally acknowledged . The Chaiuman now intimated , tbat the graver portion of the business ef the evening was at an end , and tbat the remainder of the time they were together would be devoted to dance and song . He then quitted the chair , when ¦

      Mr . Vincent rose , and , alter apologising for again presenting himself to tUe meeting , said his purpose was to propose the health of the consistent ana longtriad Radical who had so ably occupied the chair tbat evening—he meant their modest and amiable friend , William Lovett . He ( the speaker ) had known him during a period of four years ; ho bad been much with him , at his own home , and in walks in the green fields , and it was by that Bort of communion only tbat a man could be truly known . Throughout this intimacy , he had ever found William Lovett the most consistent and determined supporter of Democracy in all its bearings . He had suffered much from imprisonment and persecution in consequence , but it wouid be insulting to most present , wh « had known him for a much longer time , to Bay more than to propose tbe health of their worthy friend , William Lovett JJrunk with neat enthusiasm .

      Mr . Lovett , in shortly acknowledging the toast , observed , that although the excitement of a public meeting was painfully unpleasant to him . he bad unwillingly acceded to the request of his friends « n the present occasion ; and be warmly thanked them for tbe kind support they bad given him , and the attention they had uniformly bestowed upon those who addressed them . . . Under each plate was placed a copy of the addresa , written by Mr . Vincent , in Oakbam . fttol , with the names of the Rev . Mr . Hiil and others , attached thereto ; this furnished a "luncheon" for the assembly , fur the address was eagerly " devoured . " An excellent band was in attendance the whole evening , and enlivened the proceedings with popular airs .

      1 MPOB . TAMT FSO 9 S AMERICA . UNITED STATES . ' SUSPENSION OF THE UNITED STATES BANK . We have received by the packet-ship George . Washington , which arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning . New York papers to the 8 th ult . inclusive . Their contents are highly important Tbe Bank of the United States had for the third time suspended specie payment * . Having , it ia stated , been disappointed in the receipt of large amounts of specie , it was compelled , on the afternoon of the 4 th ult , to refuse the payment of a demand of 100 , 000 dollars from New York , as well as the payment of some other heavy sums .

      ( Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce . J Philadelphia , Feb . 5 . The burst up of the "United States Bank yesterday gave rise to an excitement , which baa continued through to-day , such as was never before witnessed in this city on any similar occasion . The fact of the failure of the Bank to meet the two or three draughts of large amount on Thursday was not understood until after tbe cars left for your city to be an absoiute failure .

      Early this morning the streets were crowded with citizens , and before tbe opening of the doors of the banks there were crowds of greater or less extent in front of them all , and particularly bo before the United States , Girard , and Farmers * and Mechanics ' . On tbo opening of the doors , there was a rush for specie by depositors and note holders . All paid , including the United States , for five dollar notes , for an hour or two , when the Girard began to wince , and finally " resigned trumps , " standing its band no further than to p * y its five dollar notes . Thus has gone on the first day of trial . Tbe greatest confusion prevails , and the banks were all busily employed in paying out specie from tbe opening to tbe close , some with two or three clerks . A much larger amount must have been drawn from the banks to-day than on January 15 .

      The Bank of the United States bas been cited before Judge King , to shew cause of refusal to pay her ten dollar notes . She is allowed ten days to file her answer or to pay the money . All the banks before three o ' clock ceased to pay anything but their five dollar bills , except five—the Western , the Soutbwark , the Commercial , tbe Philadelphia , and the Btnk of North America . We shall , in ail human probability , have a general suspension to-morrow . Tho banks , I think , cannot stand another day ' s run like this .

      ( From the National Gazette . ) Further Suspension . —P . S . One o ' clock . —All the banks of the city , with two or three exceptions , have just suspended specie payments , except for five dollar notes . Tbe apprehension expressed above is thus already realised . Suspension in Delaware . —The Philadelphia United Slates Gazette ot SatOrday last says— " We understand tbat tbe Directors of tbe several banks in Wilmington , Delaware , held a meeting yesterday morning , and resolved to suspend specie payments in consequence of information received from this city . Philadelphia , Feb . 6 . Tbe notes of the United States Bank are selling at a discount to day for specie of 15 per cent

      A man of tbe name of Sheets , a labourer , committed suicide last night , in the upper port of the city , by shooting himself through the heart . Wont of business was tbe cause . Philadelphia . Feb . 7 . It appears that on tbe day the United States Bank suspended , tbe City Council and all the other Banks agreed to receive the notes of the United States Bank . A . Mr . Millar bas instituted a suit against the United States Bank for a refusal to pay two ten dollar notes in specie . An application waa made on Friday rooming for a citation against the President and Directors of the United States Bank , to ahow cause why the Chatter of tbe Bank should not be forfeited in consequence of tbe Bunk refusing to pay specie to tbe holders of ten dollar bills . Tbe citation was awarded , and made returnable on the 15 th inat

      ( Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer . ) Washington , Feb . 11 . I bavo no longer any doubt that the President-elect has completed his Cabinet . He had difficulties to contend with , arising out of geographical divisions ; these , it is believed , have been happily arranged in such a manner as to give general satisfaction to our Whig friends . In the selections which lave been made the President bas consulted the feelingsand wishes of his friends in different districts of tha country . Indeed even their prejudices bave been * considered . In doing this General Harrison has evinced a sound judgment , mingled with sagacity and discretion . Nor baa he been wanting in promptitude . I have reason to believe that the following gentlemen will constitute General Harrison ' s Cabinet The statement is not mad « on slight grounds : —

      Daniel Webster , of Massachusetts , Secretary of State . Thomas Ewing , of Ohio , Secretary of the Treasury . John Bell , of Tennessee , Secretary of War . George E . Badger , of North Carolina , Secretary of Navy . John J . Grit ten den , of Kentucky , Attorney-GeneTal . Francis Granger , of New York , Postmaster-General .

M'Leod , who however will not be tried till the fourth woek of t'ais month , unless the American Government should think fit to issue a special commission ,

      TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE VARIOUS CHARTIST ASSOCIATIONS AND CHURCHES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Brother Chartists—You are all made pretty well acquainted with the barbarous and lamentable death of our Chartist brother , poor Clayton , who died under the merciful treatment of the base , bloody , and brutal factions , for the crime of endeavouring to mete out the glorious principles of Chartism , justice , and liberty .

      Knowing tbat the predominant character of the advocates of Chartism is that they would do unto others as they would they should do unto them , I appeal to you on behalf of the helpless widow and inoffending child of the above named victim of tyranny and profession , to endeavour to pay a last tribute of respoct to our deceased brother , by placing those who were dependant upon him for support , above the frowns and insults of tho base and unprincipled portion of society . According to the Star of this day , the Delegates

      assembled from the different placed of the West-Riding of Yorkshire , recommend that funeral sermons be preached in all the Chartist Associations and Chapels on the 14 th of March . In addition to this I would recommend that at the close of « acb sermon , a collection should be made on behalf of tho widow of poor Clayton , by which means a sum sufficient would be raised , whereby she might be able to commence b usiness in some way or other , and the ChartiBta of Shefiield would most certainly give her their most decided support .

      Fellow Chartists , — 'Tis n » flfre than a duty that you owe to your principles , that you act up to this plau , and convince the world that you are worthy of tha name of Chartists , and of tbe objecta that you contend for as your inalienable rights . If but 15 , 000 of the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland should meet on that day , and each contribute but one penny , it would amount to £ 62 10 s . Do your duty as men , women , and as Chartists ; let the money be transmitted to the Star Office , and all to be duly acknowledged in the columns of that invaluable journal , and yon will prove to the world that you are in reality friends of justice , humanity , and liberty , and while you advocate tbe rights of man , you are not forgetful of your duty to the Whig-made-widows of your murdered advocates . Faithfully yours , W . H . COTTON . 38 , Ludgate-Hi ' . l , Birmingham , February 20 th , 1841 .

      P . S . —I think it would be more convenient to appoint some person to stani at the doors of tbe meeting bouses and solicit subscriptions for the proper object , and so prevent the confusion of collecting , when all are anxious to get out W . H . C .

      Death froh Destitution . —Operation op the New Poor Law in the Kensington Union . —On Wednesday , a lengthened inquiry waa instituted before Mr . Wakley , M . P ., coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex , and a jury , consisting of thirteen respectable inhabitants of Kensington , in the large room of the Gloucester Tavern , Gloucesterroad , Kensington , into the circumstances attendant upon the death of William Eaton , aged 61 years who died in the workhouse for males belonging to the Kensington Union , on the morning of Saturday last , a few hours after he waa brought there . The jury accompanied th « Coroner to the workhouse in Gloucester-road , to see the body of the deceased , which waa deposited in the dead house . The body presented nearly the appearance of & skeleton * nd

      on leaving the place , several of the jury declared the Bight they had witnessed would never be effaced trom their remembrance . Tbe deceased waa a shoemaker , and bad lodged in a room at No . 12 New € purt , Brompton . It was proved that since Michaelmas last , he had only had about two pairs of shoes per week to make , for which he would receive 2 j . 8 d . His room presented a scene of unparalleled misery and destitution , and it appeared that he had bad relief from the Kensington Union , to the extent of a pound of meat . There were several Guardians present , and tbe coroner ordered the relieving-officer to be Bent for , to whom he addressed some severe animadversions . All the blamo , however , was laid on the system . The jury found a verdict that the M Deceased died from exhaustion , gradually produced by scantiness of nourishment . "

      The Corn Law League is Afraid op the Chahiists !—It ia a singular fact , that on the occasion of the Chartists holding a festive meeting to celebrate the release of their friends from durance ( the Lovett aud Collins dinner , ) the Curn Law Repealers took advantage of the circumstance to hold a meeting , in the hope that they might pasa their resolutions undisturbed ; on that , occasion , they conjectured rightly ; but , on tryiug on the same game on Monday last , notwithstanding the numerous attendance at the Vincent dinner , the Anti » Com-Law party were doomed to be disappointed , for tho friends of the Charter mustered in sufficient Btrength at tho Crown aud Anchor , to defeat the factious purposes of the " Repeal » is , " aud to carry by two to one , resolutions in favour of Universal Suffrage and the Charter . One fact is worth a ton of argument .
