Lord JOHS Bcssell , with regard to any communi-« s&oa with the Court of Directors , would only say , that the substance of it was totally different from what the Honourable Gentleman seemed to tupposa The Directors did not give an opinion that Lord Keane kad already bees amply rewarded , b « t declared that they thought it most just th&t an . application should be made to Parliament

      Mr . Hcme said his question had been misunderstood .

He should oppose the bill , as founded upon a principle which could never be enterainei by EngllsnmeB . Mr .

      PUBLIC MEETING TO PETITION FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF 1 LR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Thursday night week a pubMc meeting was held at the S-jcial Eali , HercnJes Bnl ! diEg 3 , Lanibeth , to petition t . e Legislature for the immediate re ' . ease of ilr . H . Hetb' -rington , confined in the Morshaisea ., for four months , for selling " Hasly . ni ' 3 Litters , " -which have been termed , by the law officers of the Crown , a blasphemous publication . At eight o ' cloci ths hall Vas denseiy crowded ; but' it was half-past eight before the chair was taken by J . Ed-wards , Esq ., who was supported on the right and left by several higbJyiufluestial person * , connected with the Borough- of Lambeth .

      The Chaibmjj ? said that it would be his duty that evening tu submit to the meeting a series of resolutions , and a petition to Parliament grounded upon thein , for the release of Mr . Hetherington , who had been indicted for blasphemy , bsfors Lord Penman and a Special Jury , for selling " Eaaiam ' s Letters to the Clergy of all denominations . " Hs would not detain them with any observations , but would read the petition , which set forth— " That for the sane offence two other persons , ¦ amely , Mr . Abel Heywood aad Mr . John Cleave , had been convicted . Sir . Heywood had escaped pumish-¦ KEt , but Mr . Cleave andtrwent a part of his sentenoe

      of imprisonment ,- and paid a fine . " The petition then prayed " that even-hanced jastice might be dealt cut to the publishers of Byron and Shelley ' s works , by pro- ; ¦ ecsting them for the publication of books equally as criminal as those for which Mr . Cleave and Mr . Hether- j tagton Lad been convicted . " Jt also prayed that-a j Committee of the House of Commons would define bbs-1 pheray , ia order that tha public might be cautioie . i ' agaiut l « i ^ 5 guity of it .

      proceedings on the part of tbe Govemmemt against Mr . Hetherington , who bad not been treated ia the same manner with others who had been prosecuted by the same GovenusweA , for the samt offence . Although so immediate relief might be obtained by the petition , yet he felt satisfied that it would be ultimately serviceable , by showing that public opinion was opposed t » sach prosecutions , as-they neither forwarded truth cot jastice , nor upheld religion . Mr . Llotd Joxbs seconded the resoluOou . Twelv * months ago , bills were found against Mr . Heywood , for selling H&sl&m's Letters . On that occasion be / Mr .

      Jones ) purchased at Mr . Bancks ' s shop , having over tbe door the " Crown and Cushion , " and opened for the sale of religwas tracts and Bible * , * copy of " Shelley ' s Poems . - He then tent up bills against Mr . Bancxs , for selling sach works , and the Grand Jury found the bills . ( Hear , bear , and a laugh . ) What tw the result ? The Government was in a bobble , for they could not but prosecute Mr . Bancks . But thef did no such thing . They informed Mr . Heywood if he pleaded guilty , be should not be sentenced , and thus avoided the alternative « f prosecuting Mr . Binds

      Mr . Fobmjij * moved the $ eeon& resolution , to the effect that the public viewed with indignation the attempt of a Liberal Government to revive lucb , prosecutions . He called the attention of tbe meeting to the law on the subject , and read an extract from Mr . Hetherington ' s defence , in which Mr . Hetherington , in the words of Jefferson , termed the law under which h » was tried , a " Judiciary forgery , " and a "fraudulent mistranslation . " Mr . John Stephens seconded the resolution , in a very inniiaous address .

      Mr . Joh ^ Cleave rose and supported the resolution . Ho said , that although he was bound over to keep the peace to " our Sovereign Lady the Queen , " he was not under any apprehensions that his recognisance would be estreated for attending that meeting . He attended there solely as being a fellow sufferer ; and as being therefore one who could well describe the circumstances under M-hich Mr . Hetheringtoa was placed . If Henry of Exeter hsd consulted Henry Httherington and himself , he thought that they would put him of Exeter in tha way of letting the prosecution alone . ( Hear , and liughter . ) As the Tories always found the Whigs wiiiuig tools to do their dirty work , so let them ( the Whigs ) say what they would to the contrary , these prosecutions were at the instance of the Home Office .

      When Mr . Heywood was being prosecuted , Mr . Moxon issued a prospectus , stating that he was republishing Sbeiley ' s works ; aud the b * ast of the prospectus was , that the suppressed passages would appear in full . Of course the rich man could indulge his full meal of blasphemy under gilded covers ; for those were boots not for the poor but for the rich . Forsooth the anxiety of Exeter and the Government was for the souls of the poor and net of the rich . It wm a monstrous thing to hold a bookseller responsible for the contents ef every pamphlet that might be on his shelves , as a tradesman bad something else to do fceddes rummaging them to « re « rtotn tntir

      conUuts . He cousidercd it an act of gross injustice that , after Mr . Heywood had be « n set at large , and his iMr . Cleave ' s ) term of imprisonment remitted ( for tlthoueh they were kind enough to take his £ 20 fine , they did not enforce the full term of his incarceration ) that Mr . Httherington should be sentenced to four months' imprisonment for the oflknee of which they had been guilty . . Mr . Cieave then described tha privations to which he had biien subjected in prison , and congratulated himsvlf upon his having pissed through fo many fiery ordeals of Governmtntprosecutioaa withtu : a hr . ir uf his head being tinged , and called upon the meeting to exert their best endeavoars to secure the inimiiicliate release of Mr . Hetherington from prison .

      Si-Ttral other s-p ^ ttra ^ dtessci meeting , after whkh the petition in favour of Mr . Hetherinston wa » adopted . Tuants were voted to theciuirman , and the meeting separated .

      been £ uutj ef a breach ol' ihe statute Jawj of these rexlcja , which , without regard to tbe position of the party implicated , their Lordship 3 were bound to respect and eniere ? . The indictment contained no capital charge , and uhhough a wound was inflicted the prosecutor ha : very properly restricted the charge t j l > flrin / , ' at withintent . " The learned penileman then restated the counts of the indictment , pointed out tbe Dearijg of tbe law upon each , and said it would be for t ' r . oir lordships to see that the offeree charged ia the different counts was fuily established . They would bear the facts of tbe ca 6 e stated in evidence . But he would bow state to their Lordships the fcubstanefc of * hat evidence , which they would bear ja detail from the lips of the witnesses . On the

      l' 2-. h of Sep : ember , the Earl of Cardigan fought a duel with Captain Harvey Tuckett , and wounded him . On tba . « uay , two carnages were seen approaching Wimbledon-common , and n was evident to tho'd who noticed them that the prelimiuaries to a duel were taking place . The combatants fired cue shot eawh iueit ' ectually . At tbe exchange of the second shot Cjpjain Tuckett was wounded , but ( and no man rejoiced at it more than the Earl » f Cardigan ) no ; dangerou = ly . Mr . Dann , the miller , camo up , and arrested the Earl of Cardigan , and brought Mm before a magistrate a : Wandsworch . He was committed , and his trial wa 9 to take place at the Central Crinunal Court . The seconds on tho occasion of the duel would iu like manner be tried at the Central Criminal Court , and on that account it would be indec « roBB on his part , aa

      Attorney-General , to call these gentlemen as witnesses on the present trial .

      tween » quarrel roddenly taking plaeerud decided oa th « epot , » nd » eoBbkt attended with the premeditation which mark * a deliberate duel . The same distinction it made by Foster , by Hawkinf , and by BlaekBtone . Tbe Leaned Barrister here quoted extracts from each of the above authorities . He observed that with retard to Lord Ellenborough's Act and the late Act of Queen Victoria , the words •? Attempt te murder" meant an attempt t » do that which , if accomplished , would in law ^>« equivalent to the crime of murder . The offence of the Earl of Cardigan came , he feared , within the meaning of the phrase . It could hardly be supposed that the Earl of Cardigan and Captain Harvey Tuckett met accidentally at Wimbleden Common . That a sudden quarrel took place , which was decided on the

      spot . Thai would hardly be supposed . In the eeoend volume of" Moodj ' s Crown Cases , " page 40 , a case was reported , in which the question referred to the judgei waa , whether , in answer to an indictment for shooting at with intent to murder , it would be » sufficient defence that , if death ensued , it . would not be murder , but manslaughter . The Learned Judge then decided that such would not be a good defence . Justice Littledale and another . Learned Judge were the only dissentients from that judgment . The Earl of Cardigan would have ah advantage which Peers before the same tribnnal bad not on former occasions . He would have the advantage , in consequence of an excellent Act passed by their Lordships a few years ago , whereby the

      counsel of the accused party was entitled to address the judicial tribunal in reply to evidence . He was sure , however , that their Lordships would , on this occasion , uninfluenced by any degree of eloquence or ingenuity which may be exhibited , sustain the high character as a judicial tribunal which they had so long enjoyed . Th » maa Hunt Dann , examined by Mr . Waddingtom—Oa the 12 th of September ho saw a carriage approaching in the neighbourhood of his , mill , on Wimbledon Common . In a short time he observed another carriage . One of the gentlemen came out of tbe carriage and went to that part of the common which ia in Wandawortb parish , and another to that part of it which ia in the parish of Putney . Soon after he saw two gentlemen , of whom his

      Lordship the Earl of Cardigan was one , placed at a distance ot twelve yards asunder . They fired shots at one another . He then made hiRway towards them . When he camo within about Hfteen yards of them they fired again at each other . They had got fresh pistols ; in the mean -while he was running up . The two seconds had handed the pistols to thorn . He found that the gentleman , who as he afterwards ascertained was Captain Tuckett , was wounded . He then went up to the partiea , and told one of the the gentlemen that he must consider himself in his custody . That gentleman was the Earl of Cardigan . He took from him a pistol , which he bad in his hand . He saw a fifth gentleman , who was wounded . After taking into custody Lord Cardigan , he did the same to the others . He was asked to lee tho wounded gentleman go into his house . The fire gentlemen came , tnen , to his house . He vras

      then asked to let tho wounded geutleman go home . He did so on receiving the cards of address of the gentlemen . He was not certain which of the two gentlemen who wished to go away gave him the card . Lord Cardigan was not one of them . One of th * gentlemen wrote something in pencil on the back of the card . In consequence of receiving that card he went to a house in Hamilton Place . That was on September 18 th , and the number of the house was 15 . He asked to see Captain Harrey Tuckett . He saw a gentleman whom he had previously seen fighting the duel , and who gave him his card . He took Lord Cardigan , on the 12 th of September , to the station-house in Wandsworth . He gave the pistols to the inspector there . Earl Cardigan caimed one of them as his . He afterwards caw the medical gentleman whom he had seen * t the duel .

      Other witnesses were examiced . but their testimony was not important . After which The Atto&ney General said , " This , my Lords , is the case on the part of the prosecution . " Sir W . Follbtt—This being tho case on the part of the prosecution , I venture to submit to your Lordships that there is no case that calls on the prisoner for au answer . It is an attempt to prove a case without sufficient evidence . Your Lordships will observe that in the first counJ of the indiotment , the prisoner is charged with feloniously and unlawfully intending to shoot at Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett , with a pistol loaded with gunpowder and ball , intending thereby , of his malice aforethought , the said Harvey Garnet Tuckeit to kill and murder ; in the second count , he is charged with intending to maim and disable the same person ; aid iu the

      third count , with intending to do him some grievous bodily injury . Now , I apprehend it is not necessary to state anything to your Lordships in order to show tha : the prosecutor ig bound to provo the CKristiin and surnxme ot the person against whom the alleged offence is committed , and if he fails in that he fails in the proof of his case . Your Lordships will sse that there is no evidence whatever to show that the person against whom the Bhot was discharged was Mr . Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett . Therefore , I contend that they have entirely failed in an essential part of this prosecution . My Lords , this point is expressly decided in the case of the King v . Robinson , in Holt ' s Reports , in which it is laid down that it is essentially necessary to prove the Christian and surname of the party against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed , and of that there is no proof irt the present case .

      The Attoenky-Gk . vhkjll insisted that there was enough of evidence to establish the identity of the Captain Tuckett sworn to by the witnesses as the jrentleman shot at by the Koble Earl . The Learned Gentleman said , I believe there is no human being who , having heard the evidence out of Court , would hes ^ ate drawing tho inference . I believe that the ' same weight of evidence sufficient to convince a reasonable man out of a Court of Justice , oui ^ ht to convince a Judge or Judge 3 sitting in a Cuun of Justice that that from which the iut ' ereuce is to be drawn is to be received . According to tho rules of

      evidence , would any person out of a Court of Justice doubt for a moment , that this is tho same individual who fought on the 12 th of September . If the inference would have been drawn oufc of a , Court of Justice , there was not a scintilla of evident t rora which it could be drawn . This would be a . most unsatisfactory conclusion to this trial . Your Lordships will weigh the evidence fairly aud deliberately . If you think that this is not the same individual , of course you will say " not guilty upon my honour , " but you will not stop tbe prosecution upon the objection which must be considered a trivial one . Sir Wm . Foilett replied .

      Strangers were ordered to withdraw , while their Lorc ' ubips coHsidcred the point raised by Sir Wm . Foilett . On our return to the House , we understood their Lordships to have decided the objecuon valid ; and we found th » Lord High Steward at the Chair putting the question to tach Peer—Guilty or not Guilty , e . g . — " John Singleton , Lord Lyndhurst , how teiys your Lordship , is Henry Thomas , Eavl oi Cardigan guilty of tnis felony whereof he btands indicted , or not guilty . " Whereupon each Peer , upon his name being called , rose and placing his right hand upon his breast , said , " Not Guilty upon iny honour , " the only exception to tho geueral rule "being tbe Duke of Cleveland , who said , —'' Not Guilty , lega . li ) -, upon my honour . " After all the Peers haa given their verdict , the last of whom was the Duke ui Cambridge ,

      Tho Lord High Steward standing on tha steps of the Throne himself , said , " Not Guilty , upon my honour . " The Sergeant at Arks said , " Yeoman Usher , cali in James Thomas , Earl of Cardigan . " The Noble Earl -was thea placed outside the Bar , when The Loiu > High Stewaud addressed him , said" James Thomas Earl of Cardigan , you have been indicted for a felouy , for which you hate been tried by your Peers , and I have the satisfaction of declaring to you that their Lordships have pronounced you " Not Guilty" by a unanimous sentence . Tho number I have not precisely at this moment before me , or I would have been glad to have stated it to youi- L srdsbip , but their Lordships have unanimously said " Not Guilty . " The Earl of Cardigan then bowed and retired .

      BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . TO THE KADICALS OF ENGLAND , WALES , SCOTLAND , AND IRELAND . Fellow-Chartists , —The fell monster , tyranny , has not only spread misery , woe , aud destitution throughout tbe length , and breadth of tbe empire—it has not only rendered tbe homes of the productive ciaates cheerless aad unhappy , but it has torn from society some of the noblest patriots of the day—men endowsd with the most fertile minds—mea whoae heart * yearned over the nation ' s ills , asd whose bosoms were the reoaptadei ot the sacred fUin « of p&triotum .

      These " nobles of nature , " having dared to battle tbe eommia enemy , and vindicate our inalienable rights , vrere pounced upon ty corruption ' s host—dragged before interested Judges—tried , not by JurtM of their I peer * , but by Juriea packed and prejacii « ed , and , of | course , doomed to protracted terms of imprisonment I n unhealthy dungeons , whicu punishment haa been , in I many cases , and is now being aggravated by jnamlt and i contumely , heaped upon them by ignorant lutvreU-puid | Jacks in office . Asd this , too , in a Christian country ! —in a land of Bibles !! and under th « reign of » monarch denominated the "Defender of the Faitu , " tbe essence of which faith is ^ love , if unconnected I with secular power , and . allowed , to go forth in all ita l ipority .

      We seed not name the Individual * who have thui fallen into the enemy * * hand * , nor hen detail the treatment , the tnh" ! "f treatment . Inflicted upon th » ra . Wo rejoice that the daj « of the captivity of tome of < uot friend * are nearly terminated . And , a » each merge * from his prijon-house . l « t n * receive them again to our ranks as men -Wortny of tbe highest honour * that can powibly be conferwd upon them . 'Let wt bear in mind that some of these injured patriots are literally ruined in clrcuuuUnceg ; this cannot be repaired by mare Toteai . of thanks or addresses of congratulation . No , something more substantial nut be done . It 1 * for us they have suffered , and it la by the advocacjr of our cause that ffcey ate bow ruined men .: ;

      Of these , none i * more deterring , of our Immediate attention than Mr . James Bronterre O'Brieu . , Mr . O'Brien is a man whose valuable and indefatigable service * to the cause are too-well known to require comment . He ha * never deviated , from the principle * be has so cogently and fearlessly maintained ; but has , at all times and before every grade of politicians , proved himself to be the " poor man ' s guardian . " Shall the services of this sterling patriot—this master mind—be lost to the world for Want of either popular or pecuniary support . The production * of his mind ha'Ve done , and yet will do , incalculable good . They

      ate such as have stamped his character with , Imperiahable honour , and he will be read with pleasure and profit by generations yet unborn . Then let not the historian of our age , ¦ wh ile engraving' the name of , O'Brien on the tablet of putriotiara , have torecord , in connection therewith , the ingratitude of his countrymen . His services must be secure *— he is , in himself , a host , and a terror to the tyrants of the earth . Like the brave O'Connor , he is an indispeusible link in the Chartist chain , which must be preserved , in order to accelerate the overthrow of corruption and facilitate the establishment of freedom .

      We certainly conclude , from the knowledge which the people possess of Mr . O'Brien ; and from the effects produced by his mental labour , that a lengthened appeal to the Cbartists , on bis behalf . Is altogether unnecessary . We need only propound our objects to our brethren to insure their adaption . We state , then , that we are anxious to show the enemies of our weal , that we forget not our friends , and we are desirous of shewing our suffering friends that we not only know our duty to tiiem , but that we are resolved to perform it Therefore , we call upon our fellow mea to aid as la raising funds sufficient to enable bur now incarcerated advocate to commence

      his fire upon the enemy immediately after his liberation . Our object ia to furnish him , as a national tribute , with press , types , and other materials , that he may not only preserve himself and family from tbe jaws of starvation , but that he may promote the general good of the community , by being enabled to give a full , tree , and uncontrolled expression to bis opinions . Sucb men ought not to be silenced by the power of despots nerby the weight of poverty . Tney mn » t not . Therefore be up and doing . Let us vie -with each other In accomplishing this necessary and important object . Lose no time ; and what we da , let us do well and quickly . We need net add mote , being conscious the nation will respond to tbe call .

      A Committee for the carrying out of this object baa been formed in Leed * , consisting of the following persons : — Samuel Fletcher , President ; William Brook , Treasurer ; James Illingwortb , Wm . Roberts , V . R . Westlake , Andrew Gardiner , Beujamin Knowles , John Harris , George Walker , John Sandaraou , John Swaiae , Jamee Bother / , James Standeven , Johw Ogden , Secretory .

      TO THB IDITOB OF TUB NORTHEBN STAR . Sid , —It was with much surprUe that I observed in your last week ' s Star a letter , signed W . Hick , in which he appears to lay much stress upon the fact of my name being attached to anaddreta in the Leed Times . I have only to say that I do not feel disposed to spend my time in wrangling , or disputing , with those who , I hope , are as sincere in their desires to promote the people ' s cause as I am myself ; and , therefore , I merely teply , that in writing that address to the middle classes , we were anxious to have it read as extensively as possible —( and shall be equally desirous to effect the same object with regard to any futaro address we may write)—and , therefore , we sent copies to as many pipers as we thought would insert it , believing that the more our principles are known , the moro they will be admired and appreciated , and every convert gained to our cause strengthens our hands , while It weakens those of our enemies , whether Whigs or Tories .

      FR 0 U OUE LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , Feb . 18 , Quarter to Seven . Citt News , and Commercial Review . —The announcement of an addition to the funded debt , to the extent of six millions—founded on authority usually Well informed in such matters—has had the effect of contracting the money market to an almost inconceivable extent . The prices of English stocks have fluctuated rather largely this week , having at one moment fallen fully one per cent , below the rates of last week . To account for this fall , various rumours were propagated ; but the general belief of -well-informed persons is , that the true cause may be found in some heavy sales of

      money stock , which assisted the operations of the bears , who commenced buying in their accouuts , and realising their profits . The market has since rallied , but not to the point at which the decline commenced . The pubtit have lately sold , beyond question , considerably more stock than they have bought , —a circumstance which tells its own tale , from whatever cause it has originated . The funds closed today at the followi ng rates : —Console ( 3 per cents . ) 88 j ; Three-and-a-half per cents . 96 $ ; Reduced Three-and-a-balf per cents ., S 7 |; Exchequer Bills , 5 s . to 7 s . premium ; Bank Stock is also going back , being now worth no moro than 163 to 163 J . FlNSBUBV WOBKINO Men ' s ASSOCIATION—Last evening , ( Wednesday , ) this association held its

      weekly meeting at its rooms , No 0 , Littlo White Lion-street , Long Aore , Mr . Moore in the chair , when the following resolutions were adopted : —1 , ' That this association viewa with great dissatisfaction the result of the late trial of the Right Honourable the Earl of Cardigan , in the House of Lords , Feb . 16 th , 1841 , for shooting at Captain Harvey Tuckett , with intent to kill , which proves to them , beyond doubt , that there is one law for tho rich and another for the poor , inasmuch , ss the small flaw in this indictment was fatal to the prosecution , whereas , the strong objections that were raised on the Jate

      trial of John trost and hia fellow-prisoners , were declared to be of no avail ; and that it is further the opinion of this association , that had the same forms of trial been adopted in both cases , namely , trial by their peers , the latter men never would have been found guilty . Therefore , as Lord Cardigan has been acquitted , we deem it another reason why John Frost and kis compatriots should be restored to their friends and their country , and compensation awarded to them for their lonn-stiSliring . " A resolution was also passed , approbatory of Colonel Thompson ' s election plati , aud recommending it to the Chartists of the country .

      Constantinople , Jan . 27 . —By recent arrivals from the Circassian coast we are informed that the fort of Soucha , one of the strongest posts occupied b y the Russians , has fallen into the hands of the Circassians . Tho contest was very sanguinary , for the assailantB stormod the placa with their accustomed fury , and tho garrison defended thumsolves with desperate obstinacy . After repeated repulses , and the loss of many men , the Circassians » t length forced their way into the fort , and put tho whole of the Russian troops to the sword . During the late storm twelve Russian ships were wrecked on the coast , and a large steamer was diiven on shore , which the Circassians completely gutted .
