      and perfect venue where the Court should appear by the indictment to have had jurisdiction over the offence . IVow , he apprehended it was perfectly clear that these words , "for want of proper or perfect venue , " implied something where a venue had been laid in the indictment , bat either improperly or imperfectly , but did not apply to a case like the present , where there waa no venue at all . Lord Dknman . —It is an objection yet to be considered nndonbtedly . Mr . Duxdas would call their Lordships' attention £ iaec ? fo " Tbe Kiu e - Hart ' " in 6 Carr and rayne , 133 . Although that was before verdict , yet it would nevertheless apply to this case . That was an indictment for stealing a bill of exchange . The indictment * _ 1 > _

      , had been found by a London grand jury In the margin were the words , " London to wit . » J In the nid : c : ment the prisoner waa described as late of London , but the place where the bill was alleged to have been stolen was stated to be in the parish of St . Marylebone , without staling that the offence was committed m London . Mr . Justice Littledale » nd Mr . Justice Bosacqnet held that was bad , and not aided by the 7 rh of George IV ., so that the statute only aided the want of a proper and perfect venue . He apprehended that though that was before vrd : ct it still showed that there was nothing on the face of the indictment to give the Court jurisdiction over the offence , and he submitted that ihe absence of tbe venue vitiated that count of the indictment . If their Lordships would look to tbe count itself , he apprehended it would appear fair

      upon a construction of the matter , that there was no offence charged on the face of the indictment-, it really amounted only to this—it charged an attempt to persuade persons to do what they might lawfully do ; it would , he apprehended , be no offence atili . It charged that tbe defendants unlawfully endeavoured to incite her Majesty ' s subjects to disaffection and hatred of her laws , and unlawfully endtavoured fo persuade her subjects to nnite and agree to leave their employment , and produce a cessation of labour , with intent to bring about and produce a change in the laws and constitution of the realm . Now , their Lordships would see in the first place there was no conspiracy charged ; it was an endftavonr ! o persuade persons who were the lawful subj ects of the Q'icen to agree to leave their several employments and produce a cessation of labour . No doubt that was to apply to the case of workmen .

      Lord Dknmas—We think that is also an objection Mr . Dc . vdas said then , that he had an objection to the fourth count . He submitted that the four . h count was defective also , by reason of having no venue laid in the early part of it . The Court would see what tbe nature of the count was ; it charged that several persons had tumultuously assembled together , who , by threats and intimidations to divers others , being peaceable subjects , forced them to leave their occupations and employments , meaning that they had been tumultnonsly rising , and that the workmen were forced to leave their employments . He took that to b « the material fact in this count , because the charge was that the defendants did

      unlawfui'y aid , abet , assist , and encourage the said evil-dispoped persons to continue and persist in tbe unlawful meetings ; and it wa

      Buller had laid down the rule in ** The King v . Holland . " 5 Term Reports , 620 ; but all the authorities , botb ancient and modern , concurred in laying it down that when there is a material fact to be tried by the jury it must be laid with time and place , or else the count was defective on the face of it . Where was the venue laid here 1 There was a time laid , bnt no place . It was laid on the 1 st of August , and on divers other days b e tween that day and the 1 st of October , and at divers places , but never saying where those places were . They might be any where in the world ; they were not laid as being within the county of Lancaster , bnt at certain times

      and certain places ; no man could say where . There were certain tumultuous risings , and afterwards it stated that these persons did , &c , and then a venue was laid very imperfectly ; it stated that on diver 3 other days , between that day and tbe 1 st of October , in the parish aforesaid , and connty aforesaid . After verdict perhapB that would do , bnt he submitted that , in the early part of the indictment , the connt wanting the venue was defective in a material fact necessary to be tried by the jury , and without that there was no offence charged against the defendants , because it was aiding and abettiDg such persons in their said acts .

      Lord Denman—Supposing the count had simply stated , that the defendants had aided and abetted , a : a time and i Jace , certain perrons who were before engaged in doing seme unlawful act in doing it , then the act of tne defendants would appear to be at that place—was it not the same \ Mr . L ) c ?< das submitted there were certain things that ought to be done in an indictment . The facts ought to have been laid with a proper venue to be tried by a jury of Lancashire . There must be time and place laid as venue to that effect . That was the objection , he submitted , which was on the face of the fourth count His learned friends , who appeared for other individuals , would address the Court on the same point . Perhaps he ought to have rtated , as to the fifth count , the act of the 6 th Geo . IV ., c . l'J 9 , sec . 34 , which related to workmen meeting to settle wage ? .

      Lord Uejtmas said it would be better to hear all parties upon the application . Mr . Serjeant Mcrphy appeared on behalf of John Durham , Jonathan Bairstow , and Thomas Kaiiton . He understood the rule was granted a = to the fifth count , a-d be should , therefore , on the fourth connt , fir 6 t observe that there was a material distinction between this case and that of conspiracy . Tni * count did not charge conspiracy , it was a common statement of aidiDg and abettins ; . He was aware , with regard to conspiracy , that it had been held that the offence was complete with reg * rd to conspiracy when the conspiracy itself was charged , and therefore the observation his Lordship had made certainly would have been completely

      conclusive had this been a charge of conspiracy ; but this was a mere charge of aiding and abetting . They eould not be aiding and abetting , unless it was aidiDg and abeiting in some offence charged npon the ir . dictmtnf , and the charge of that offence must not be taken with regard to those who were aiders aDd abettors , to be mere inducement , it most be taken that there was some substantive offencecharged which the defesdants were in connexion and within the jomdictioB of the Court , if : hey were charged with aiding and abetting in that offence . What was the charge made in this case ? That these persons were aiding and abetting several other persons who had assembled tumaltuously together , and by threats and intimidations used towards other persons ,

      forced them to leave their occupations and employments . Supposing it fappeared on the face of tbe indictment that in addition to tbe mere statement , that these were peaceable subjects of the realm , it had gone on to Btate that these persons were residing in the kingdom of Scotland , —he would ask whether their Lordships would not say that the mere aidmg and abetting them must be a constructive presence at the ^ iding and abetting ; it mas t be , . therefore phown , with regard to the offrcce , tba-t it had taken place within the jurisdiction of the Court ; and if that were so , there was nothing on toe face of tbe indictment to point out that this offence might not have taken place out of the jurisdiction where this indictment was preferred , because the only

      allegation wa « , that they were peaceable snbjecta , whom they were endeavouring to prevent going on with their trades , and attempted to intimidate with threats and violence ; there was nothing to Bhow that these sufj « ct 8 might not have been in Ireland and Scotiand , where this Court could not have had any jurisdicMofl . Their Lordships would recollect that in ordinary cases , where there was a charge of aiding and abetting , in order to give that certainty , and noi leave it to inference or implication , there was always an express allegation that they were then and there aiding and abetting . There was nothing to show but that the tumultuous outbreaks might ha ^ e taken place in Scotland , and the party might have been is England . He night clearly have been aiding and abetting , though not then and there present when the outbreak took plaee ; bnt it

      was necessary that that ehonld be alleged on the face of the indictment . Sapposing the offence charged bad been a felony , and that » murder bad been cemmittf d by certain persons without an allegation of venue , and supposing afterwards it was ; stated that in the parish aforesaid , in the county i afore ^ aid , John Jones did aid and abet the person j who had committed the murder , he would ask whether their Lordships would say with regard to that felonious charge whether it would i be sufficieat , or whether any verdict could aid that which was a material statement of the murder , having been' committed 1 If the murder was not commuted within the jurisdiction , the aiding and abettiDg would make him amenable to the jurisdiction . The Learned Counsel , for these reasons , urged that the fourth connt was bad .

      Mr . Bodkik , for Doyle aid Parkes , and Mr . ATHEBTO « for Fenton , Leach , Harney , and Arthur , adopted the same line of argument on behalf of their clients . Lord Demias asked if any other defendant wished to move in arrest of judgment ! JAr . Dum > as believed not . Lofd Demus then said—We are of opinion that all ihese ' otjcctiOEs ought to be considered , and there will , thtreiore , be a rule . Will it not be conveuienr to appoint sometime nowjwhen the rule may be srgu- d ? The attoenet-Gexebal said , { that any day that oJt ; L : be cyuveuient to the Court , the Crown would be leddv .

      Untitled Article

      It was ultimately arranged that the argument should be heard on the second day of next term . The Attornet-Gkwerai , saia , that one of the defendants was in custody . On the part of the Crown there was no wish that he should remain in custody , but that he should be discharged upon his own recognizance . The defendants then all entered into their own recognizances to appear for judgment when called upon , and left the court . Thomas Cooper and John Richards , who had been con-icied at feiafford of conspiracy , then came forward .

      Ihe Attorney-General prayed the judgment of the Court upon th ^ e defendants . The At'orney-General , the Solicitor-General , Mr , Serjeant Talfourd , Mr . Richards , Mr . Godson , and Mr . Alexander , appeared on behalf of the prosecution . Their Lordships read over the no'es of Mr . Justice Er .-kine , before whom the defendants wero tried . This occupied the Court from half past eleven o clock till the Court broke up , at five o ' clock .

      Thus far have we triumphed over our enemies ! and thus far has the law triumphed over injustice We are just beginning to learn the use of the law ; and henceforth our party may rest assured that no point shall he lost of which we can avail ourselves . I shall now be more amongst you , as in truth I have been sadly hampered since August last . I do indeed rejoice that the poor fellows found guilty upon the Fourth Count , are once more restored to their families , and that they are not again likely to be troubled about this " storm in a teapot . "

      I shall address the good men of Manchester on Saturday next , the 6 th inst ., the very next Saturday , either in Capenters' Hall or the Hall of Science , whichever the managers can procure , and shall remain to enrol new members after my address , and thus commence the good work of Re-Organization . Hurrah for our side . Poor Fenton who was given up by his bail , and who was brought to judgment in custody from Kirkdale , has also been liberated : so that our triumph is complete ! Now is there no use in law ?

      Yours faithfully , Yt . argvs O'Connor . P . S . I am attending the proceedings in Cooper and Richard's case , which is now going on .

      good has been made to come . Chartism has received a great impetus from it . But any more such exhibitions would do hs more harm than this has done us good . However , this m « ss you are ia ; and this you must pull through . You have but one more pull to make ; it is for the argument on the 26 th inst ; and for that you MUST make an effort —such an effort as you have never yet made : we must have the best Council the country can fiud us . Money must be no object : talent must be had . I assure you that I can feel very acutely for your

      position . I do not get through all this without cost myself . It has involved me ia very heavy and serious expenses , into which perhaps some might have thought it a little hard to be dragged , as I have been , in opposition to all my exertions in your behalf , at the time when the whole might have been averted , and much other mischief besides ; but there is no use in regretting all this now . It is gone . I have my reward and satisfaction in the knowledge that you are not incorrigibly blind—that your eyea are now open—and

      that you at last see who would have led you from the ditch , instead of leading you into it , and laaving you there . It is not ungratifying to me to receive , as I do , your thanks and votes of confidence , in bundles , from all part of the kingdom ; but it will be much more gratifying to see you now make a mighty effort to repair nobly the mischief that haa been done . I ask no thanks ; but

      I do afek you to learn wisdom from experience , and to gather courage from exigency . I do ask you to fight this battle through like men , and to take care that you are never made fools of again . I am as I have ever been . Your faithful friend and servant , Wm . Hill Old Bailey , London , Thursday , May 4 , 1843 .

      ( From our London Correspondent . ) I write to inform you that at this moment , halfpast five o ' clock , Cooper ' s case is adjourned until to-morrow . You are already aware , from another source , that the " conspirators '' are to appear next term , or when called upon , to receive judgment . The day has been one of great interest to the Chartist public ; the paltry show of the funeral procession being entirely lost sight of in the superior attractions of the Court of Queen ' s Bench . Nature sympathised not with the mourning groups ; the sun shone out resplendent .

      A large meeting was held this afternoon , on Kenning ton Common , to take into consideration the disgraceful conduct of a knot of the League , and this evening we shall give the Repealers the most notable defeat they have yet experienced , and prove to honest Dtmcombe , that though a faction may denounce him , the people will support him . From the turn which the proceedings have taken , it will not be necessary for us to publish the later

      Editions of the Star announced last week . If we receive the Report of the Proceedings in Court today , respecting Cooper and Richauds's case , by to-morrow morning ' s Post , we dhall give them in au Edition to be ready about noon ; and shall be able to supply orders that same evening to most towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire . More distant places will not reocive their papers till Sunday Morning .

      George Williams , of Glasgow , writes to say that Dr . Grekr , of Glasgow , " is a stern , bold , and consistent pat' iot ; " and that he is astonished that the Dr . is not roprepented in our columns . " We hardly know what this means . The Doctor , we believe , has some pills to sell ; and we have advertised them for him whan he has chosen to " order" us to do so , and paid for it . What more is wanted 1 Caotjon . — We deem it necessary to caution the public against a person named Thomas Montgomery , who is now , through false and lying pretences , levying contributions , and otherwise imposing upon the friends of the poor man , and also upon the poor man himself He was examined before the

      Truck Committee of the House of Commons , where he gave evidence that has been contradicted in many essential points . Since then he has represented himself asbeing employed by Mr . Ferrand , M . P ., to get up petitions against the Truck System i and in that assumed capacity he has contrived to fleece pretty considerably . Poor Dodd , the factory cripple is a sufferer from him , to the extent of £ \ 1 . We have heard also of his doings at liinglcy , Oldham . and Huddersfield . Having had these facts brought under our cognizance ^ we deem it proper to give this public caution . We haw seen letters both from Mr . OaSTLER , of the Queen ' s Prison , and Mb Ferrand , addressed to private parties , desiring them

      to be on their guard auainst him . Mr . Ferrand says " that he has never received a petition from him ; and that he has no anthoriry from him ( Mr . F J to act as he is doing . " The petence , therefore , that he is employed by Mr . Ferband is a fraud . We have also seen a letter from himself to Mr . Pitkethly , of H iddersjicld , which , of itself , shows the man to be a thorough knave . James Sinclair has received 4 s . 9 d . for Mr . Cockburn . from some friends in Caxhoe . who have not given their names . Mr . , C . returns than his sincere thanks . The Portraits . —In the Sheffield parcel from our Correspondent there , this week , was the following note : — " A Subscriber at Copenhagen , Denmark , wishes to know the cost of all the Portraits published with the Northern Star , except the

      reneffodi-s . " Now-this question is a puzzler . He wishes us to except the " renegade * " ! Were we to do so . we fear that we should bring a "hornet ' s ne . it" about our ears . Perhaps the " Subscriber " himself would be the very first to complain , and hold that those we singled out as " renegades " were all " good men and true ; " and that those we held to be "' good men and true" were the greatest " renegades" of all ! Seeing then the risks attending such a proceeding , we shall leave the task of " excepting the renegades" to the Subscriber himself ; while we barely inform him that he can have copies of all Ihe small Portrai ' s at 4 d . each ; and of the large ones , after sub scrihmg $ \ x weeks for the Star , for \ s . each . The Factory "Ki ng" and the Factory Bill . —

      With much pleasure we give the following letter from Mr . Oastler . With his opinion of the system of" relays" we entirely agree ; and it was because of such agreement that we gave his little Floeter entire , so that ( he working people might all know what llie feelings oftheir "Old King " respecting the New Bill , iccre . We were glad , too , that he laid at the right door the " responsibility" of having commenced that system . It was not the " ultra philanthropists " who either coneocti d or introduced it : it was the W hig Ministry , in spite of all the opposition that the Ten Hours' Men could give . AU this , however , is now conveniently forgotten ; and ive are glad that the '" King" stirred up recollection , and showed the people that it was not their friends who proposed ** relays , " but their enemies .

John talked loudly at the ' * conspirators '" meeting about" doing things on his own responsibility . " The u things * were done ! but John found it convenient to shift his " responsible" cat case across the Atlantic , and to leave others at home to " take the responsibility''I As to the second auery , we

      cannot answer . Whether he has delivered up the books of the Association , or taken them with him , or destroyed them , ( as he once before proposed to do , when theLondnt men had found out their glaring discrepancies ittd evident falseness , is best known to himself . We are not aware which course he has pursued . We certainly have not heard of his having placed them in any body ' s hands , to be forthcoming when catu ' d for .

      LEEDS . Allotment System . —We have rectflitly had occasion to make copious remarks oo the allotment system in this vicinity , but nothing has hitherto given us more pleasure than the example sp t by the proprietors of the Airedale Found-y , in Hunsiet-lane , who have a plot of land adj < iiaiag their premises , which they have divided into lots for the benefit of their workmen , each having 160 yards , and this is ailawed the men free of all charge ; rent is totally out of the question . This is ati example worthy of imitatiou , and reflects honour upon the masters . It would be w-.-ll if o-her persons did likewi .-e , raiher than seek profit from the poor by charging an exorbitant rent for their ? roaH patches of aimott unprofitable land .

      Burglary . During the night of Monday last , the dtvolling-hou- > e of Mrs . Ruth Rasters , of Farnley , mar L'v-cK was entered by means of skeleton keys , while the family were asleep . The thieves obtained possession of only a tr-fling booty , conMstiugot wearing apparel , bed linen , and some bread . Woollen Cloth Stolen . —During the nf ^ ht of Thursday last , the burling room , at the manufactory of Mr . John Barker , of West Royds House , Bramley , near Lesds , was broken open . The thieves obtained possession of two ends of olivo and iwo ends of blue cloth , in the scoured state , with which they have hitherto managed to get clear off . Mr . Barker and the Bramley Association for the prosecution of felons , have offered a reward of £ 10 for the discovery of the offender 3 .

      Shkep Stolen . —During tie night of Thursday last , a sin arling wether sheep , marked on the near side '" R . H . " was stolen from a field at Mothley , near Leeds . It is the property of Mr . Robert Hollings , of that place , who , in conjunction with the Association for the prosecution of felons , has offered a reward of £ 10 for the discovery of the offenders , Inquest . —On Thursday an inquest , was held by John Blackburn , Esq , at the Crown and Anchor , Hunslet , on the hody of Wm . Brooke , who was so severely injured , whilst driving a waggon ac Bell Hill , Rothwet ' , on the 16 ' . h ult ., in consequence of neglecting to Jock the wheel , that he died in the Infirmary , on Wednesday last . —Verdict , " Accidental Death . "

      . BASNS 1 E 7 .-Two individuals have com * mirtcci suicide , and a tnird haR made tbe attempt ia this tewb , during the pant week . Mr . Moone , who kept a shoe warehouse , hung himself on Thursday moruiug in an old building belonging to a Mr . Burgess , where he was found in a day or two , after a considerable search haviRg been made in the different waters about the town ; various causes have been assigned lor the rash act , but the most probable one is decline of business ami a decline of years , which caused temporary insanity . Ou Monday morning about six o ' clock , Charl <* 9 Brandon ,

      a bleacher , in the employ of Mr . Jackaon , hunt < himself by , a small cord fastened to the door . He waa a man highly beloved and respected by all who knew him , " particularly his fellow workmen . He was a sober and industrious man . He suffered much from illness , which caused him to be of weak nerve , aud it is supposed he committed the rath act while labouring under mental derangement . He has left five children and a wife to lament his loss . A widow woman of the name of Bell was the third person who attempted the rash act , but fortunately oue of her neighbours happened to see her , and cut her down , and by medical assistance she recovered .

      ROCHDAIiE —A Diabolical Act . —On Saturday afternoon last , two persons went to ' see the ' Opening of tbe sixth seal , " by Danby , which was exhibited at the lecture room , Town Hall , Rochda ' a . They \ iad not been in the room more than two minutes , when they came out and observed to the female who had the charge of the picture , that it was an excellent painting . She observed to them that they had not had time to view it , when they hastened down stairs and disappeared . On immediately entering the room she discovered that the centre of the painting , representing the slave , was cut out . Oue of the men appeared between thirty aud thirty-five years of age , dressed in a dark velveteen shooting jacket , light-coloured trousers , plaid handkerchief , aud about five feet seven inches high ; the other was rather taller , and dressed in dark clothes .

      Manchester District of the Independent Order of Odd Fell <> ws . —The officers of this district opened a , lodge of the above order on Monday evening , at the house of Mr . John Kennedy , the Temperanco Hotel , Oldham-street , Manchester , entitled the Temperance Lodge , No . 3 , 941 , of the Manchester Unity , and established upon the great principle of temperance . Fatal Railway Accident . —On Saturday afternoon last , betwen five and six o ' clock , a distressing accident occurred on the braach railway at Blackwood , a few miles from No-wport , occasioned by the blowing up of a locomotive engine used on the line , by which , we regret to say , two persons were killed , and two others seriously injuried . Tbe branch

      railway in question is the property of the Tredegar Iron Company , is entirely used for the conveyance of iron from the company ' s min ? s in Monmouthshire to Newport , and is about twenty five miles in extent . On Saturday , about ihe time stated , an engine called the Vulcan , with a train of waggons , returning from Newport to the mines , stopped at Blackwood , where the engine drivers aud stokers got off and went , to the George public-house , which was opposite the railway , for refreshment . They had not been iu the housa many minutes before a terrific explosioa took plac-j , which shook the entire village , and produced the greatest consternation amongst the inhabitants . Upon the men rushiue ; out they discovered that it was the engine on the iiue that had exploded , and in

      the carriage-road alongside of the railway they beheld two gentlemen who had been knocked down by the remuants ef the boiler , which with the engine , was totally destroyed , aud scattered Beveral hundred feet from the place where the accident happened . One of the unfortunate persona was Mr . Davis , a farmer residing at Buttrey Hatch , in Monmouthshire , who was ia his 70 th year ; and the other proved to be Mr . Phillip Williams , a tradesmaa living at Blackwood . The latter was quite dead , part of the skull having been carried away : and Mr . Davis expired from the frightful injuries he had sustained while the men wore conveying him to a house in tie neighbourhood . Two other persons were afterwards discovered ia a field near the railway , having been struck by pieces of the engineand

      , much mutilated . Tney vr <* e immediately picked up and placed iu safety , but it is supposed , from the extent of injuries they have received , it is impossible fos thera to recover . Great damage was done to several houses near the spot . All the window-pains iu the George paWic-house were blown iD , and part of the roof carried away , besides the walls of the stables and some cottages attached thrown down by the concussion . Some pieces of the boiler and engine were picked up nearly 400 yards from the railway , and one was upwards of 1 cwt The explosion ia reported to have resulted from the engine-driver neglecting to open the valve after shutting off the steam when getting off the engine . The loss of property , engine included , is estimated at least at £ 1 , 000 .

      TO THE PEOPLE . Mt dbab Friends , —This morning has shewn me the value of lawyer gab , when rightly used . Every evil has some good iu it ; and so has lawyer gab . We mustered at half-past ten in Westminster Hall ; and a goodly gang of "jolly conspirators " were v ? e . There were some defau-iers among the " wide mouthed ones , " aa usual . Your " Captain Bobadils ' are always minus , if but the su .-picion of consequences flits across the pathway of their "bouncing . " There were one or two , I believe , who were destitute of the mean * of travelling to London , and

      who consequently could not come ; and I know that some of those who did come , have made sacrifices of the most fearful personal character to do bo . Some of them , whom the people did not assist as they ought to have done , pawned almost everything they had , to get here , sooner than Bully the fair flag of Chartism by skulking—I need not say that these were not open-mouthed men The men most deterjnined in fighting a battle through are always they who are most wary in pitching upon their ground However , with few exceptions , there the conspirators were , and a finer looking . set of fellows i have seldom seen .

      After the preliminai ies , calaug over names , ace , the lawyers on our side began to state their objections—legal , technical objections—to tbe indictment under which we were convicted . Dundag opened tbe ball , Sergeant Murphy followed him , and was sustained by Messrs . Bodkin and Athorton . It 13 needless to annoy yiU with the particulars of their technical speeches , which , aa piaiD , unsophisticated men , some of you would but imperfectly understand ; suffice it that they made tbe Government Attornies look very much like

      fools . They stated several grounds of objection which they contended must ba fatal to the indictment and the verdict , both as to the fifth count and the fourth . The Whig Lord Chief Justice Deoman helped them to another stunning objection , which they had apparently overlooked , and which seemed considerably to flabbergast the Attorney-General The Court held that all the objections taken were feasible and deserving of attention , and granted a a rule to show cause why judgment Bhould not be arrested , both as to the fifth count and the fourth

      connt , of the indictment ; and appointed the Beeond day of next term , ( which will , I believe , be about the 26 . h of May ) , for the hearing of the argument . As it would have involved serioua expences to all the defendants to have been obliged to come np 10 London again , whether wanted for judgment or not , the Attorney-General , with that handsomeness of manner which characterised his whole demeanour at Lancaster , stated at once that he would not require the personal attendance of the defendants , during the argument . The

      Attorney-General then applied to the Court to have poor Fenton , who was the only one brought up in custody , released and put in the same position as the otber defendants . This the Court acceded to , and bound him and all the others in their recognizances of £ 100 to appear / or sentence when called on ; so that the whole matter stands thus : —On the 26 : h of May we have the grand fight of lawyers , as to whether the two counts of the indictment , under which lerdiot has gone against the whole of the riefendants , be , or be not , bad in law . If the counsel who may be retained for the defence , succeed in proving that

      they are , then the whole of the foregone proceed mgB , trial and conviction , are so much waste paper , aud the Government is foiled and beaten with its own infernal machine , —the monster indictment will have cat its own throat . If they fail to substantiate their objections , and judgment is to be , after all , pronounced , the Government , incensed and infuriated with the trouble we have given them , will press hard for the heaviest punishment they can get inflicted . Yon see , therefore , the necessity—the absolnte necessity—of going through this battle well-There are but two or three weeks before the

      argument ; THE * EST AND ABLEST LAWYERS OF THB BBALM MuaTBB had ; for the Government will put forth their whole strength . The fight will be a sharp one , and we must win it . We can on ! y win by dint of lawyer-gab , and we can only get that for money ; the funds therefore must be seen to ; not an hour must be lost ; all hands must " to the pumps" and work like dragons . I know it is hard to be thus ever dragging at you for money , money , money ; I hate the necessity which calls for it ; but I can ' t help it ; the necessity is there ; it does call , and it

      must be answered . You kuow that if my advice to you had not been over-balanced by that of those who now skulk from the coBsequences of their own " bravery , " the necessity would never have existed ; the trap would have been avoided . But my advice was not taken ; the trap was gone into ; your bravest and best men are " ia for it , " and you must see them through . The Bcorn of all hoBest man , and the curse of all patriots would blast your names for ever if yon should now be base enongh to sea this cause lost for lack of means to

      carry on the war . You responded well to tuy last call upon yon . You have done 'nobly . You must go on . The able Counsel employed to-day have done their work . They have placed you in a position of all but certain triumph , if you don ' t yourselves fail to provide the me&DB of going on . I do hope and trust that this will be the last time that yon will be called on to make such exertion . We must have no more of these freaks—Chartism cannot afford it , Thanks to yoar fpirii and tha indomitable energy of Mr . O'Connor and others , out of ihis evil much

James Bronton , Manchester , must apply the above notice to himself . Cap op Liberty , Brighton . —The letter from this place , signed by the Council affecting Mr . John Cleave , has been handed to that gentleman along with the one from William Flower , in which it was enchsed . Mr . Cleave ' s attention to them is hereby respectfully requested .

      Joseph Greensmith , Nottingham—His letter has also been handed to the same quarter . H . S- desires to know the estimated amount of producing power in England about the year 1798 . We answer with an extract from ihe Northern Star of July 30 , 1842 . — In 1702 we are stated to have had a population of 15 , 000 , 680 . By far the greater proportion of that popnlbt \ o _ was occupied in agricultural pursuits . Manufactures were with them a secondary consideration . They

      seemed to act according to the dictates of nature : food iirst : clothing the next The inventions of Wat 1 and Arkwrigut were then new . Their introduction into use was but slow ; yet they were being introduced . Tbe population , too , possessed at that time other mechanical and scientific power . According to tbe Statiscians of the day , about one-fourth of the population were engaged in manual labour . At that time , however , human labourers were men ; not women or children .

      The producing power of England , at the period we speak of , has been computed by those most conversant with the subject to have been : — Manual labour ... 3 , 750 , 00 * Mechanical and scientific power equal to 11 , 250 , 000

      Total 16 , 000 , 000 The population was also 15 , 000 , 000 . Thus the aggregate productive power and the population in 1792 were at out equal , or as one to one . The condition of the population then was that which it h&B never since been . Indeed they experienced a degree of substantial prosperity equal , if net superior , to that of the inhabitants of any otber part of the world . Pauperism -was comparatively unknown . The poor rates amounted only to £ 2 . 000 , 600 j and out of them were paid , as now , the county rates ; salaries , and law expences . Now , we are told , the poor rates amount to £ 8 , 000 , 000 1 ! Ibis can be accounted for . The manufacturing system had then attained that point which gave the highest value to manual labour , compared with the price of tba necessaries and comforts of life , which it was calculated to afford ; and it had not then introduced the demoralizing effects which soon afterwards began to emanata from \ t .

      Such was the amount of producing power in the year 1792 ; and such was the state of the population . Let us now set how both these matters stand at the present . Manual , or rather human , labour has been increased . Tbe labour of women and even children has been called into long , unceasing daily action . To such an extent ha ? this been the case that Statiscians now estimate thit one-third of the population are engaged in hand labour , instead of one-fourth , as compnted in 1792 . Bat if tbe producing power of England has been increased by adding to bar man-nal labourers the wives and daughters , and the infant boys and girls , of working men , what , O ! what has been the increase in her mechanical and scientific power ?!

      In the year 1817 , when tbe population waa estimated to be 18 , 000 , 000 , it was found that there had been a real increase in onr mechanical and scientific power to produce wealth equal to that of much more than two hundred millions of stout , active , well-trained labourers ! an increase equal to more than ten times the then population 1 an increase equal to more than thirty times the manual labour England could then supply for the production of wealth !! In 1817 , then , the producing power of England stood thus : —

      Manual labour ( one-third of the population , 18 000 000 ) ... 6 , 000 , 000 N « wly-created scientific power from 17 t > 2 to 1817 , understated 200 , » 00 , 000 Scientific power in 1792 11250 , 000

      Total producing power ... 217 , 250 , 000 . ' r The population at this period , as we have before seen , waa 18 , 000 , 000 . Tbe proportion which tbe producing p ;> wer now bore to tbu population was as twelve and a fraction to one . In 1792 tbe proportion was , as we have before seen , just equal—as one to one . * ? « The popnlation at present , as appears from tbe last censuN , is , in round numbers , 27 , 000 , 000 . As the employment of females and children sinco 1817 has not decreased , but , on the contrary , greatly increased , we adopt the last estimate—that one-third of our

      population ia employed in hand-labour . ( We are now arguing generally , and not with reference to the present " depressed state of trade" as it is called , and consequent want of employment . ) Those most conversant with the question aver that we have now a mechanic il and scientific productive power equal to tbe labour of mor « than six hundred millions of " bands' ' . ' This is no random guess . It is the result of deep and searching inquiry and extensive practical knowledge . One of the means to ascertain the amount may be here stated . It will give an lde % of the kind of data on which the conclusion just named is founded .

      Some time ago three of tbe principal British manufacturers ot cotton yarn in different parts of the kingdom made separate estimates of the quantity each workman in their respective establishments produced , compared with the average production of one person on the plan formerly pursued , that is , with hand-cards and single spinning-wheel . They found , on examination , that they agreed in the conclusion that the proportion between the quantity produced by one person with the then machinery , and one man on the former plan , was as one hundred and twenty to one ! Subsequent improvements have raised tbe proportion to that of more

      than two hundred to one . It is computed tbat there are above 300 . 000 persons employed in cotton-spinning in Great Britain . It would therefore require 60 000 000 of workpeople to produc 9 , on the old method and unaided by the late mechanical and chemical inventions and improvements , aa much cotton yarn as is now produced by tbe 300 , 000 ! Now 60 , 000 , 000 ia just onetenth of 600 , 000 , 000 , —the estimated present amount of mechanical and scientific producing power : and yet cotton-spinning is only one branch of one manufacture ' . The present amount of producing power possessed by us , then , would appear to

      be—Manual labour ( one-third of the population , 27 , 000 , 000 ) ... 9 000 000 Mechanical power 600 . doo , ooo

      Total producing power — 609 , 000 , 000 ! ! ! Showing an Increase since 1817 of power equal to the labour of 37 l , 756 , 0 » 0 " hands" !! I The proportion which oar present producing power bears to the population is more than twenty-two to one ! ! I - ^
