      FEEL'S TARIFF OUTDONE . THE COFFEE TAX REPEALED ! M ESSRS . CROW AND TYRELL beg to call the attention of the Chartist Public to the BEVERAGE prepared by them , as a Cheap and Wholesome substitute for Taxed Coffee . Its natritious qualities are equalled by none in the Market ; while , its mode of Preparation renders it vastly superior to the Trash offered for Sale by those who regard not the health of the Consumer . As a means of supporting tbe " Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , " and as a means of crippling the Governmental Exohequer , it may be made a ready and powerful weapon in the hands of the Sons of Toil .

      ' MANCHESTER . —A pnblic meeting of the inhabitants of Mascbcster -was held in the Carpentets ' s Hail , en Monday evesicg , to hear a statement of the occwiei > ce 2 a " , the late trial at Lancaster , from W- P . Roberta , Esq ., snd others . The spadon .-- ball -was filled in every pail . An tEi-ieut choii was in attendance , and sung the Cliarust tvinn , — "If Britons -would be free . They must , they must nniie . TTiikt ihe sinring -was soicg on , 2 di . Roberta , accompanied fcj 2 'Iesvrs . Leach and Doyie , entered , the hall , and trs £ much cbesred . After the cheering bad subsided , 3 Ir - James Whetler was called to ^ tbe chair , 3 nd introduced Mr . Rot = grts to the meeting }* y a few brief rec ^ iks . Mr . K-jbtrU on rising was again greeted by

      repeated rounds - > f spp ? sase . After ¦ which he spoke to She folio-sis ? eSci—He felt that to be an hour of pride ; he spp- aTPd before thpm in different spirits than ¦ when he earw them last On that occasion he felt the fall -weighs of Ms situation , having so many Tictims to defend against a gove-amtnt which be knew ¦ would neitasr spare talent nor expense in securing a conviction . Be was not prepared upon that occasion evtn to anticipate that the result wonld be what it had been . Ttot that he believed their cause less just then than now , but that the power arrayed agiinst them was a fearful Odds . He hai taken thi 3 opportunity of laying before them afew facts in connection with the trial , as well to contribute to their restoration as their amusementfloua cheers > . He uid not loot upon the results of the

      trial as the effects -of blind chance , but ratha to the onward marci of truth . He was afraid that he would sot be able to speak load enough to be heard in bo lar ^ e a room , but ha would do his best , and perhaps when be got warm , hs would speak loud enough —( cheers . He would now endeavour to bring some of the facts before them ; and the first thing ihat he w . uld bring before diem wis the demeanour of all the parties in connection with this important trial In respect to the Judge , there never was & Judge upon the Bench who acted in a more impartial manner—in fact , he was an honour to the country that gave him birti- The At-Wmuj -Oraasai is » , vraaictcrnig xne cntnunsi&nces m which he Teas placed , his conduct was that of a lawjer and a gentleman . The officials of the Court

      alao irere respectful in the extreme . There was no such thing bs stopping his clerk from going in and oat of Court , as was the case at Stafford , because his master was a Chartist—( loud cries of Ebame , shame ) . Than ths dfifendfeuts—their conduct -was esemp 3 ajy in the-extreme , and the manner in which they defended themselves , and their genera ] conduct , wrung from the Judge and the A ' -tomey-General that they were proud of belonging to the country that gave birth to such men as the defendants . This coming from a Judge and the Attorney-General in a Government prosecution , speaks trumpet-tongued , ar > d proclaims to . the world the progress of truth and tbe justness of our great principles . Mi . Roberts then said that Mr . Lsacb and himself had been to Lancaster to leans the law ; and

      notwithstanding the written law was the same as it was in 1839 , yet the law was as differently administered in that time , -when compared with the present , as light di&sra Irom darkness ; and , with all due deference to the defendents , he would Bay that tfeere was much more prored against them , than was proved against him in 1 S 39 , and yet he was sentenced to two years imprisonment . And bow different the conduct of Bsaon Rolfe , at Lancaster , and Lord Abinger at idTerpool ; and this wa 3 due to the people and their exertions , in placing the mark of popular indignation on Ihe Tnirn -wl : o could so *» " forget himself as to make the judgment-seat the plajse for political denunciation . TH » is the effect r » f tee exertions of ilr . 3 " . S- IhincoHibe , in the House of Commens . Mr . Roberts then went

      into an analysis of the evidence adduced on the trial lae nrat man brought forward was a fellow ' of the name of Buckley , and he Mr . R . gave his name to immortal infamy . This fellow could not recollect the amonn ; of money that he had received , but be could distinctly recollect wbat the speakers had said at various meetings in diSkrent parts of tke cenntry . Well with a ecpert eross-eramiijation , he admitted having received £ * 13 s . on one occasion , and £ 1 153 . on another , and a u ^ pe of receiving £ 50 as a reward if they succeeded in getting a conviction . Mi- Rsbata then referred to a constable who had taken notes sitting on a cart wheel , took , in running band , corrte ; reports of what the speakers said . How , this was a clever sort of a chap , far superior to the shart-hand mit-as cf

      the day who find it difficult to follow the speakers on such occasions . But he ( Mr . Roberts ) got a peep at this gentleman ' s book , and be found that it contained certain interlineations , wrote in different ink , and in different hand-wrificg . And what think you was the nature of these interlineations ? Why certain remarks about the Charter —( shame , shame ) . The next witness that Mr . Roberts referred to was the manager of a factory at 5 : a 3 ybridge ; be showed to the meeting the manner in which this gentleman was handled by Mr . Piling and Mr . James Leaeh . This statement of facts produced the marked feeling of indignation of the assembled thousands on the bead of the wy who couid go and deliberately swear that the condition of the people was as good as it was twenty-five years ago , at J

      that the working classes were a discontented anj . grumbling set . Mi . Roberts then gave a tuthful description of the way and muse ? in which the wit - nesses for the pross-cution were drilled , in which ilr . Irwin came in for his share of odium as the instructor of Griffin and the adviser of Cartledge . He then referred to some Chartists ¦ who bad been jrnbjceaed to give fevidenee tl » t >> M told feim iMt . Bobarui , that they were offered & certain reward if they would swear to certain f icta , that they tampered with them before they brought them from home , and also after they got them to Lancaster , but they would not take the bait , and so they sect them home again ; and notwithstanding Mr . O Connor got an order granted by the Judge , that none of the witnesses should be in the Court , 31 r .

      Irwin brought them and placed them behind a screen were they could hear every "word that the previons witness fcaid as well as if thty had been in Court . But with ail tbeir trickery their evidence was sa shaken that they not only give up five counts in the indictment , feui sent back aeventy of their witnesses without being examined . We also know that there was a number of witnesses on the back of the indictment that was not forthcoming—one whose name was Luke SI D ^ n-Bient- When he was wanting it was announced that be was under the protection of the Governor vt the Castle for a felony committed in Lancaster , after he earns there in the character ot a witness for tee Crown . From this tbey would- « ee Hist those who had the getting up the evidence , bad got together a mass of wretches from the very dregs of society—( Loud cheers . ) But he ( Mr . Roberts ) must * ay that this victory was to be

      attributed to the people themselves , for snppljing him ¦ with funds for the getting up the defence an . d employing the most efficient council that the bar of this conntry possessed ; by this means two objects were gained Those men advocated the principles of Chartism , an = l ihe truth of them would stick to them , and their prejudice must in time give way to truth . And in the second place the press admitted into their columns that "which , otherwise , would not be admitted , and from this tbe readers of those newspapers were put in possession of a just exposition of our principles ¦ which -under other circumstances they would not have known . He ( Mr . B-1 would recommend them to establish a permanent defence fund , aad not leave it to the moment they stood in need of such a fund , to commence raising it , by this means the patriot would go on confident that there was a protection for him if be should stand in need of it .
