      r- . ' ' LANCASTER ASSIZES . ( Continuedfrom our eighth page . ) Trtiich these fact' proved . During the course of his lordship ' s observations on the part -which the reaprc ^ tive tiefendants had taken in tnesa transactions imputed to thesa . —hs allnded to Mi . O'Connor , — _ nd in * eferextca to the diameter ot the speeches ot that gentlHDiaa , his lordship thoueht thai the fail Inferfence to be drawn from the evidence ¦ which had been addused w _ 3 , that althongh hshad advocated the principles of the Charter very strongly , and thonght it "was the only Kmedy for the distress of the country , yet , at the same time , lie had accompanied it with a recommendation to peace and the preservation of property , as the only means Tjj which the objesisonght to b ' a attained conld be * ncoessfully carried out With reference to the relative position of masters and men , Ms Lordship said , that although he highly approved of the code which allowed * - ' " '

      ¦ workmen to combine for the purpose of Baying what late of wages they would accept for their labour , he equally approved of the penal code "which the Legislature had lefi for the protection-of the working man ' s industry . If there was ose species of -labour which ought to be protected moid than another , and the violation of which deserved the most exemplary punishment , it was the labour of the poor xoan i Jar is "was ¥ ht > only source of existence on tpkuch he bftri to rely . Hb Ihonaht that any attempt on the part of one set of men , to compel others to leave their labour , whether they would or not , for the accomplishment of some object which to them might be a matter of perfect indifference , was an outrage of the grossest kind , and one which , as he had said before , deserved Qie strongest reprobation and pumshmest which the forms © f justice would allow .

      His Lordship concluded his summing -up at about balf-past four o ' clock , and the plan was adopted of H *« a ^ g to the Jury the names of the defendants in batches , the Learned Judge asking them for a distinct Terdict on each . The Jury retired , on _ be first batch of five , and were absent nearly an hour . On returning into court , his Lordship was about to direct their attention to the evidence as applied to another batch , when the Foreman stated that himself and others of his colleagues had taken notes of the evidence , and felt themselves competent to deal with the whole of the defendants at one deliberation- They again retired at a quarter before seven , and , after an absence of little more than ten minutes , they returned into coort , sod pronounced the verdicts .

      Thus terminated , at seven o ' clock , this protracted teal—the largest on record for some years past . So densely crowded was the Court , that Borne minutes elapsed before egress conld be obtained . Mi . O'Connor proceeded to the King ' s Arms , Marketstreet , at which place he waa stopping , in company with his attorney , W . P . Roberts , Esq ., of Bath . On his progress to the inn , he was enthusiast ! dlly cheered by a luge number ot persons who had assembled outside the Castle to wait his coming out .

      THE TRIAL—THE PRESS—AND THE LEAGUE . Except the one party whom it was intended to put down , tbe result of the late trial has placed all parties in a qneer fix . " They dont know what to make of it or do with it . The Tories are ashamed of it ; the Government wish they had had nothing to do with it ; the Whigs are mad with rage , while " liberalism" compels them to hold their tongue "; and the " League' feels themselves somehow—allovebish—as if they anticipated a somewhat different result for their own turn when it comes .

      As every effort was made by the press to create prejudice , and to warp the course of justice previous to trial , so it has with due consistency carefully smothered the disappointment of its foiled patrons at the escape of the " robins" from " under the riddle . " With few exceptions the press affects to treat the matter as one of small moment ; and this same trial , which in its anticipation was made to ring through the whole country , is passed over almost silently . By some portions of it , the villainous trick ha 3 been resorted to of giving tbe whole substance of the case for the prosecution , and suppressing the whole case for the defence . Yet even these are " bothered" with the result . The verdict still stands there . It acquitt half of the

      accused entirely ; and convicts half of the remaining half of that which every man knows to be no moral crime , and which the highest authorities have declared to be no crime in law ! This is a stomach-blow . It "knocks the wind out . " They look at it on all sides , and the most part of them seem prudently to conclade that M least said may require least mending . " There is one , however , who is especially uneasy . The depth of his chagrin exceeds the power of concealment . It must ont . He cannot be quiet . His bile boUa over ; and most dirty puddle is it ! Just read the following morsel from the London Correspondent , who is also , as we believe , the proprietor , of one of the most ultra of the ultra " liberal" Irish papers , the Dublin Monitor : —

      " The general impression prevailing with reipect to the conviction of Feargos O'Connor and his associates is , that it is not a satisfactory one . It isregarded as an attempt to do that on a small scale , and with poor , paltry , and insignificant individuals , which , at the doBe of the last centuty was tried and failed , when directed against tbe great and the clever . The case of Home Tooke -was the endeavour to establish tee crime of constrnetivft-treason , whilst that of Feargus O'Connor is to make a precedent for constructivemisdemeanonr . Notwithstanding the verdict of tbe Jary , it is considered that the prosecution has broken

      down . My impression is , that when it was undertaken there was the expectation entertained that some of the leaders amongst tbe Chartist body would have become down witnesses ; but the great probability is , that Sir Frederick Poilock , who is , in private life , a most amiable , excellent , and honest man , would not countenance the project of his subordinates—he would not consent te ' terms' being made with , any of them—be would allow no price to be offered to any informerhe did not ¦ thiiUi it meet to compound vnth him by tiie year ; ' and hence the defect in tbe evidence which was looked for when those proceedings began . "

      Now , isn ' t that rich ? ! Just see the fellow ' s cadaverous scowl , as his brows kait , when he readB the verdict , and grumbles inwardly , " Curse on the stupid fools ! What can be done now ? Why this i 3 actually a triumph ! " Look at bis pinking eyes as they poke about from one corner to another of the paper , as if seeking for some outlet , through which to thrust the intrusive " triumph . " See them recoil in disappointment from the surface ot the paper and bend inward to a rakiDg of the dish of mud which he mistakes for his own brains , until they fix

      upon the lump of dirt out of which thiB idea has been manufactured . And then sm how his piggy daylights twinkle as he drags it forth , and pursing up his mouth , says , * There ! won ' t I do for you , ye spalpeens ! Ill circumvent you this time ; for I'll swear that you could have told upon yourselves and let out your secrets , only the Attorney-General would not hear them 1 " Now is not that fine ? with Gbiffin and Cartledgx staring at him ! ! What fools these fellows must think their readers to be !

      The Anti-Bread Tax Circular congratulates the League upon "this legal acquittal of the charges brought against the Anti-Corn Law League . " He makes italics dance with the announcement that throughout the whole trial : — " No simple tittle of evidence has been adduced cormecting the Anti-Corn Law League with any portion of the disturbances . '' Gently , Goody ; gently ! Don't halloo till you are out of the wood . We wish you as safe a deliverance and as true an one as that of ( he Chartists ; but it iB a little" too blue" to parade the forbearance of jout victims as a victory ovor them . Wait Xttl your turn comes : will yon ?

      THE " SHABBY" BARONET AND THE » CONSPIRATORS" AGAINST THE POOR

      MAN'S RIGHT . Thb starvation mongers are "hard up . " They find enough of exercise for all their impudence to " keep open house" at all . They can only hang by the damning system by m « re " p » wer of face" and Bandit Law—the law of power . This has been strikingly instanced in the House of Commons during the past week . Ne 7 er did we notice a more

      glaring , base , cowardly and yet impudent throwing of the shield of power over their ** oomrogues of lesser note" than was practised by the Tory Government and their Whig supporters in the case of a motion by Mr . Fkbkakd for the productions of certain documents having reference to the doings of a portion of the Poor Law Gaardians of Halifax , and one of tbe tramping-pauper scamps of Assistant-Commissioners , named Clements .

      The harpies of starvation rule seem to have fixed on Halifax as a peculiarly congenial sphere of operation ; Mr . Fekband was desirous that the country should know something of their proceedings ; and , therefore : — H On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair preparatory to the House resolving itself into committee of ways and means , li Mi- Ferrand rose to move , as an amendment , for a list of ihe Guardians of the TTalifa-r Union who assembled at the Board on Wednesday , the 1 st of March instant , specifying the ex-officio Guardians from the elected Guaroians ; alsp a list of the Guardians who were not present , specifying the ex-cjfficio Guardians from the elected Guardians ; also the name of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner who

      Untitled Article

      attended the Boird j also a copy of their minutes and proceedings as well as of the resolutions ad opted by the Board ; also a copy of all notices given at any proceeding meeting of the Board relating to any preceding or resolution adopted by the Board on the 1 st day of March . " The honourable gentleman prooeeded to state his reasons for thla motion . Let those xeaBons be read and coupled with the fact that this simple motion for information as to what the gnardians had done , that he might know , and that the country might know , whether the information which had reached the Honourable Member was correct or not , was strenuously and pertinaciously refused ; and that the refusal was supported alike by the members of the government and their predecessors and opponents : —

      " He understood that there was reason to believe that that meeting , at which eighteen guardians attended , was not convened by a proper notice issued by the clerk to the whole body of guardians . At that meeting the Board of Guardians resolved that a strong athletic man should be appointed , at a weekly salary , to act in the capacity of taskmaster , for the purpose of applying a more severe test to the out-door labourers . It would be found that the Board of Guardians having , with the sanction of Mr . Clements , decided upon adopting a more Bevere test in respect of out-door labour , had also decided upon adopting a more severe test within the

      workhouse . The question was brought before the board bow that test could be most advant ageously enforced , and different plans having been proposed , that of a treadicheel was discussed , and how many men it would employ . Thi * treadwheel the Board of Guardians directed to be erected , and a member of the board undertook to see it erected . He bad stated this some time ago . when he last addressed the House on this subject . The Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) stated that it was not * so , and that , instead of a treadwheel to be applied to a raok machine , there was only to be erected a band-mill for corn ; He ( Mr . Ferrand ) next day received

      more information from another person . The Right Hon . Baronet , however again said that the mill was only a corn mill , and that he was told that by the Poor Law Commisioners . The Board of Guardians of the Halifax Union bad passed a resolution reflecting on words used by him in the discharge of his duty to his constituents and to the country—a resolution which had been brought to the board from his own house by one of the ex officxo guardians and this was passed by the Board of Guardians , Mr . Clements , the Assistant Poor Law Commisbioner , assisting at the meeting . The same day an order was passed , with the sanction and

      approbation of Mr . Clements , for excluding the reporters of the public press from the board-room during the meetings of the board . But what sort of a cornmill had been erected , did the House think i Why , none at all ; but , instead , a rag machine had been erected , for the purpose of grinding rags obtained from the poor of the towns on the continent , and impregnated tcith all manner of contagion and Jilth , and he was told that the stench was so great , and the dust arising from the grinding so oppressing , that they had the greatest difficulty in parts of Yorkshire , where rags of this kind were ground for the purpose of defrauding by the cloth manufacturers , to get persons to undertake the work . But , in order to make this more of an infliction on the poor

      pauper , the wheel was to be worked by capstans , which were to be turned by the poor like horses . These capstans were to be worked at not only by the feet , but by the hands and breasts . According to the opinion of a medical gentleman whom he had seen , it was highly injurious to the health to labour in this way , and was likely to end in apoplexy . This was what was about to be erected in the Halifax Union Workhouse for the employment of the poor there , either with or without the knowledge of the Poor Law Commissioners ; if they knew of it , then they had deceived the HouBe in the statement whiob they had authorised the Right Hon . Baronet to make in his place ; if they did not know of it , then they had neglected their duty . "

      The Honourable Member also made somo strong allusions to a like case of horrible barbarity at Lambeth Union , where a Corn Mill had been erected for the purpose of more severely testing the labour of the poor . At the corn mill , in the Lambeth Union Workhouse , sixty-four persons were to work at once ; sixteen at in-door labour , and forty-eight at out-door . The mill was worked by one crank , which was so large that every time these poor wretches worked they must bend with their hands to the ground . The mill was under a shed . And the object of this contrivance was that whenever a poor person came to the workhouse to ask for a loaf of bread , he was to bo shown those

      poor wretches working at the crank under a shed !! He referred also to a leading article in the Times newspaper of that day , in which it was stated , that within the last seven years 9 , 315 persons had been committed to prison in England and Wales for offences against the rules and regulations of Union Workhouses , and that in the year 1842 , no fewer than 2 , 299 persons had been imprisoned in her Majesty ' s gaols for breaches of those rules and regulations ! In reply to those statements of alleged atrocity and to this most reasonable motion for enquiiy into one of them : —

      " Sir J . Graham hoped the House would agree with him that on the present occasion it would not be expedient that he should follow the Hon . Member for Knaresborough ( . Mr . Ferrand ) into any of the new matter that he had adduced . The Hon . Member had raised the question for the first time of the Lambeth Union Workhouse . He ( Sir James Grabam ) did not intend to follow the Hon . Member into that subject . He had bad no opportunity to enable him to test the accuracy of the Hon . Member ' s information . Much less did he intend to follow the Hon . Member to the leading article of the Times newspaper , or into anything which might bave been stated there that morning . It would be much better , in his opinion , to confine himself to the motion before the house . "

      Doubtless , it is " not expedient" at any time to enter upon a defence of that which we know to be indefensible ! Henca the " shabby" effort of the Right Honourable Baronet to escape from as much of the investigation as it was possible to shirk . Lambeth and the Times newspaper were easily disposed of . They were " new matter . " But there was the " motion before the House . " This must be " dealt with . " And how did the bold Baronetthe high-minded , honourable Baronet who refused to continue with the Whigs because they were a " shabby" Government—deal with this motion 1 There were only three possible positions in which

      the Government and their supporters could stand in reference to the matter affected by Mr . Ferband ' s motion . They must have known the allegations to be true ; or they must have known them to be fabe ; or they must have been in ignorance concerning them . In either of the two latter oases , it is reasonable to conclude that they would have been prompt and forward in aooeeding to the motion ; because by the production of those papers the question would have been settled , and the truth established . While , on tho other hand , if they knew the allegations to be true , and were determined to uphold , but ashamed to defend , the practices

      complained of , they would be sure to throwevery obstacle in the way of coming at the desired information ; Villany , like falsehood , ever loves the daik . It is never " expedient" to expose it to the overhauling of common sense and right feeling . And the way in which the " shabby" Baronet fences with the motion would be proof sufficient , if we had no other , that this iB preoisely their position . lie affects first to misunderstand Mr . Ferrand . He makes him talk of a tread-mt' // , instead of a trend-wheel , and is proceeding gallantly to deny that acy such thing as a treadmill is known or dreamt of as part and parcel of poor law mercies at Halifax . This subterfuge , however , fails him . Mr . Fbrrakd won ' t " stand it . " He corrects him , and insists that he

      shall quote rightly the word used . He then tries to blunder out of it , by denying that it iB a tread wheel . He insists that it is a Aand-mill , and he read letters to that effect from Mr . Clements , and from some man named Coclston . Now , it required but half an eye to see that the conflicting testimony of the friends of the poor to Mr . Fsrrand , and of the friends of the " mill" test to the Right Honourable Baronet , was the best argument that could be found for Mr . Fbrrand ' s motion ; since nothing but the positive documentary evidence of the Guardians' actual proceedings could settle the motion , arid show which was right . Mr . Fkrrand put this matter very forcibly : —

      " He weuld not detain the House further ; he would only say that the Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) had insinuated XnrJi he ( Mr . Febrand ) bad stated in that House what was not true , and the Right Hon . Baronet ^ called on tbe House not

      Untitled Article

      to place too much confidence in what he said . Now , whatever he might think of the Right Honourable Baronet ' s conduct to him , t supporter of her Majesty ' s Government , as he had been , whenever he conscientiously could be , he had to tell tbo Right Hon . Baronet that the question was between the Right Hon . Bafenet and himself which of their statements coinoided with truth . If the Right Hon . Baronet could induce the House to agree to refuse these resolutions , still he ( Mr . Ferrand ) , it must be

      remembered , was oourting every inquiry . He desired nothing more than that the matter should be sifted fully , and that the Right Hon . Baronet and himself should be placed fairly before the country . If the Right Hon . Baronet succeeded in refusing the papers , the country would conclude that he was convinced that the production of tbe papers would show so much cruelty , and such ill-treatment of the poor that it would not be expedient to produoe them . "

      This Ferrand ib a tough fellow—not easily " driven ; " and one might almost have expected this to be a poser . But a " shabby" Bwmot is often lucky in mischanoes ; and so he discovered a perfect god-send of a sheet cover for his minion in the fact , that Mr . Ferrand had made some reference to a vote of censure which had been passed upon him by the Halifax Poor Law men . This vote of censure was a " breach of privilege ; " and it was a very ungracious thing in the Honourable Member for Knaresborough to wish to claim the " pririlcge" of net having the He given to him by a tramping Poor liaw Commissioner ! : —

      " He could not think that it would be advisable for the House to embark on the question of breach of privilege under the guidance ' of the Hon . Member for Knaresbqrough . It would not be prudentit would not be discreet . " Here then was a god-send for getting rid of the whole matter . The degradation , the inhumanity , the murderous effect of the " Devil ' s dust" millwhether worked by tread wheel or hand

      wheelwere entirely lost sight of , and this " privilege question " was the only thing to be seen and talked of . The Right Honourable Baronet could not think of vindicating the " privilege" of the Hon . Member for Knaresborough . The cuckoo song was echoed by his satellites , both Whig and Tory , and " privilege , " * ' privilege , " " privilege , " was the only thing they could any of them see in the whole nratter .

      Determined to leave them no " loop-hole , " Mr Ferband " came up" again , and knocked down the privilege prop . He said : — " Hia only object was to let the House and the country know what had taken place . He found that there was a treadwheel ordered for the Halifax Union , which was to hold from four to forty persons . He did not know what had since occurred , and he Would take no steps to br ' mg Mr . Clements to the bar of the House if the papers were produced . "

      j This was a oloser I among men of ordinary decency it weuld have deoided the question . But tyranny sets decency at defiance when its objects are to be maintained . And after this frank and explicit avowal from Mr . Ferrand , that what he wanted waa the papers , and not the "privilege , " Sir Robert Peel , if he be rightly reported , had the ineffable meanness still to insist that the motion waa : —

      " A renewal of the question of privilege , and that it was the intention of the Hob . Gentleman to enforce the charge against Mr . Clements . Into that question the House , in his opinion , had better not enter—( hear , hear ) . No person had more at heart the privileges of the House than he , but it was because of his regard for them that he would not wish to enforce a debate on them in the present instance . "

      Now this is , to our thinking , paltry and despicable beyond description ! but it was the only weapon that could be used against Mr . Ferrand ' s motion . And Sir Robert and Lord John Russell shared the honour ( . ' ) of its handling between them . Mr . Ferrand ' s motion had , of course , no chance , and he withdrew it . 0 ! how we long to see the people assert their own " privilege , " that these sickening scenes may pass away !

      In the interim it is refreshing to see even one such member in the House as Busiteld Ferrand , Tory though he be . Like a true Englishman , he " camo up to time" again , next day , as fresh as ever ; and the pair of u Shabby" Baronets finding him not to be choked off , but determined to play the part of " the importunate widow " , with a very ill grace , suffered tho rehearsal to go on—reading their own part of " unjust steward" somewhat imperfectly . Th « y consented to produce all the actual transactions of the board on that day , but denied the " Notices " whioh would have proved the meeting to be a packed one for the purpose of censuring an M . P ., who had dared to speak in his place of their doings , and the resolution to exclude the press from their conclaves in Future .

      Here then we have an imperium in imperio with a vengeance ! A parcel of hired , tramping , scamping vagabonds called Poor Law Commissioners , commit atrocities against the poor , unheard of in any other country under heaven—and if a Member of Parliament Bhall breath a whisper of their doings in bis place in Parliament , or venture to express an opinion that they are not the very pink of Christianity and virtue , these tramping , scamping , vagabonds call together a " picked party" of their middle class mates and tools , and denounce and censure him ;

      they put this forth under the false pretext of its being the resolution of the " Board of Guardians" ; they exclude the press , lest their lying subterfuges should be exposed ; and they are protected in all this by the Government of England in the active measures of its Premier and Home Secretary , who exert themselves with " shabby" pertinacity to prevent their atrocities from being dragged to light ! Do the people want more argument to show them the impossibility of ever obtaining justice or fair play while the system lasts under whioh these things ean be done ?

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR , Sir , —If Feargus O'Connor , yourself , and your coadjutors , who have been unjustly hailed before the judgment-seat , have not Cwhioh is proven ) been guilty of creating M riots , tumults , and insurrections , to the great terror of her Majesty ' s liege subjects , " it follows , as a matter of course , that the acts of August last must have been concocted and perpetrated by other parties than the active members of the Chartist body . These being fully exonerated ,

      and , moreover , their conduct having elicited expressions of commendation from , not only the presiding Judge , ! but from the vicarious plaintiff , the Attorney-General , it would be incompatible with every prinoiple of ratiocination to suppose that the disciples of these men—those advocates of " Peace , law , and order" —should engage in a physical crusade against the lives or property of their fellowmen . Tne thing is impossible , and its impossibility is evidenced by the Attorney-General ' s tearing up of the black pages in the " Monstrous Indictment ' . "

      Sir , I heartUy rejoice at the result of the trial , as by it the innocent—but once suspected—are not only exculpated—but the cause has received an increased impetus—its lustre is more visible , and we may now joyfully anticipate a complete and permanent triumph over the hosts of despotism . But , Sir , who planned the outbreaks ? Who incited the credulous and unreflecting to acts of violence ? Who drove the workies from their avocation and locked up their hells 1 The country have a shrewed guess ; and the thin-skinned ness of Cobden and Co ., on tbe matter , serves to strengthen the guess , if proof was required .

      Surely our friend Duncombe , and those gentlemen in the House , iwho have given us a specimen of their love of justice , will not only keep the inquiry in motion , but the country will support their exertions by loudly demanding a full investigation into the affair , to the end that justice may find the delinquents in their proper plaoe—not lurking in the dark , but at her own tribunal . Yours , truly , William Rider . Leeds , March 16 th , 1843 .

      Chartist Hall , 1 , China Walk , Lambeth . — At a meeting of members in this locality , it waa agreed to adopt the remonstrance , to send 6 s . to the Victim Defence Fund , and meet next Tuesday , to consider the subject of exclusive dealing , as the most speedy , agreeable , and certain means of causing the Charter to become tho law of tbe land . One new member waa enrolled . BIRlttXNGBAM . —WHiTE ' sDEFBNCBr-A public meeting , called by placard , wa 3 held in the saloon of the Mechanics' Institute , Great Charles-street , on Tuesday evening last , at seven o ' clock . At the time appointed for commencing business , Mr , Thomas Reece was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman opened the business by reading the placard , and the address published by Mr . White ' s Committeeand introduced Mr . Wm . Smith LbdoD

      , , to move the first resolution . Mr . Lindon , in a neat and effective address , in which he dwelt on the unjust measures adopted by the Government respecting the Chartist trials , alluded to the necessity of procuring means to send the necessary witnesses to Warwick to rebut the evidence brought against Mr . White . He then moved the following resolution ;—1 . " That as the misery which now exists in this country results from irresponsible Gtovernmenti and as it is clear that there is no hope of amendment until an effectual change is established , this meeting , therefore , resolves to continue the present struggle for liberty , and pledges itself to support the advocates of justice and equal laws , until the People ' s Charter , the only hope of the suffering millions , becomes the

      law of these realms . " Mr . Walter Thome seconded the resolution . Mr . George White Was then called on , and addressed the meeting at great length . He explained his views of the Charter , and stated his determination to end as he had begun , by standing with Mb own class , as a whole-hog Ghartist . Ho dwelt at some length on the rottenness of the Whig Corporation of Birmingham , and after referring to his forthcoming trial , retired amidst loud cheers . The Chairman then pat the resolution , which was carried Unanimously . Mr . E . P . Mead proposed the second resolution and passed a high eulogium on Mr . White ' s conduct The resolution was as follows : — " That as the case of Mr . George White is inseparably connected with the town of Birmingham , we deem it to be our duty to exert ourselves to the utmost of our ability , in

      order to enable him to convey the necessary witnesses to Warwick at the ensuing assizes . " Mr . John Mason arose to support the resolution , and was received with loud cheers . Hj > delivered an elegant and spirited address , in his usual fervid style , and laid bare the corrupt system whioh produces so much misery in society , and called on them to do their duty on that occasion . He was loudly cheered throughout his address . The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to . On the motion of Mr . John Follows , a rote of thanks and three cheers were given to the Chairman for his praiseworthy conduct . Three cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor , and three for George White . A number of persons afterwards enrolled their names in the Chartist Association , and the meeting separated .

      Aston-street Meeting . —Mr . E . P . Mead delivered a lecture in Aston-street Room , to an attentive audience , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Thomas Bates in the chair . The lecture gave general satisfaction . IiEBX > S . —Mr . Robert Peddle , whose past sufferings , during his three years' confinement in Baverley Hell , are too well known to require enumeration , is once more restored to liberty . Upon his enlargement he immediately resumed his labours as an agitator , having delivered lectures on Chartism in Hull , Bradford , and Leeds . In the latter place he on Saturday evening last , gave a detailed account of his past Bufferings during the long confinement in Beverley prison . In the course ot the lecture be adverted to the nature of the evidence

      brought against him , proving from a number of letters and other documents that every witness employed foi the purpose of ensuring his conviction was perjured in the extreme ; he moreover intimated his intention of bringing tb . 6 guilty parties before a fitting tribunal en a charge of gross and wilful perjury , and from the positive nature of the evidence which he advanced in support of his allegations , he must finally triumph over his cruel and inhuman foes . Of tbe evidence and other , matters , connected with his conviction , it is not requisite now to speak , as , he intends to lay the entire facts of the case before the public , through the medium of a circular , and , as it will contain ( in addition to tbe particulars of the trial ) a faithful description of the treatment ot political offenders , snch as he himself

      experienced At the hands of th 8 authoritea ; it most prove a valuable auxiliary to the cause of democracy in every locality , when Mr . Peddie ' s sufferings have been enumerated . The statements made by Mr . Peddle relative to the treatment of prisoners , and the severity of prison discipline ; are of such a nature , as to merit immediate investigation . In vain do our rulers boast of civil z \ tion , and the blessings of Christian charity , It cruelties Jibe these are to be telerated in the heart of a Christian land : not even the fabled horrors of the ancient Inquisition , with all its appendages of gloomy horror , can outweigh tbe refined cruelties of the present time . Backs and tortures , chains aud dungeons , the fire and the faggotthese are said to bave been used , when mental darkness

      enveloped society ; but the present system , though diversified in character , is nevertheless as painful in cruelty . The tread-mill breaks up the physical constitution as effectually as the raek—the silent cell will engender madness—hunger and wretchedness will insure death aa effectually as though administered at tua hauds of the executioner . This Mr . P . clearly demonstrated ; he moreover adverted to the conduct of the magistrates , who , after his conviction , refused to allow him the right of petition , althongh he had ample evidence to prove hia innocence of the charge for which he stood condemned , and he was thus cruelly denied tbe means of petitioning , although justly and legally entitled to the same ; but of these things the public

      will hear more anon . There is but one way of crushing the power of persecution , and that is by avoiding secrecy , as our worst and greatest foe . Spies and informers , intriguers and political assassins , may attempt ; to impede the onward progress of democracy ; \ f A unity , watchfulness , and perseverance , will enabla as to survive them all . Mr . Pefldie informt me , that the Chartists of Bradford are about to get up a p £ 'dtion praying Parliament to institute an inquiry touch g ng the conduct of those parties who witheld from AT / . p . the means of proving bis innocence , by refusing him tbe right of petition . D . Ross—On Monday , T £ t . Peddie gave a similar statement at Hull , to a cro rded meet * ing , at the Freemasons' Ball .

      A . B . MLEY . —On Monday , the 13 th of March , M » . Ross , of Manchester , gave an interesting ^ lecture on the fallacies of the Corn Law humbug , . ¦ ^ d tho benefits arising from the People ' s Charter , w' £ ich was listened to with great attention , and gave gr . cat satisfaction .

      SHEFFIELD . —The Chartis- x- Triumph . —Such must be the reading of the late « Chartist Trial" for the future , for triumph , and a glorious triumph too , that trial has proved . On Mod day evening a crowded meating was held in the Fig- '^ ee-lane Room , to near from Mr . Harney an address o his return from Lancas ter . Mr . Btiggs was called t *> the chaiz . Mr . Barney delivered a lengthy address descriptive of the late trial , in the course of which he highly lauded the conduct of Mr . Baron Rolfe , at the s tme time paying a just tribute of admiration to Mr . C / Connor for hia unmatchabla services , and to all the , rest of his brother defendants for their unflinching pr / riotism . Mr . Harney concladed by moving the adopt ' ^ n of the following resolution : — " That this meeting ^ while upon a former occasion it

      strongly condemned , Lord Abingerfor his partizin ana disgraceful conduct , at the Liverpool and Cheater Special Commissions , dee m a their duty to express their sdm ration of the impartial and just conduct of Binn Rolfe at the 1 > £ e trial at Lancaster , and tins meeting expresses its 'hope that the noble example set by that Judge > wiii be imitated by all who oecupj the judicial bench . " Mr . Parkes seconded the *? solution , w fciich was unanimously agreed to . M *« Harney m cved , seconded by Mr . Parkes , the fallowing resolp iion , which waa also unanimousl y carried ;—"That tjbB thanka of this meeting are due , and aw hereby ^ iven , to Feargus O'Connor , E ? q ., for his splendid de '> r , nce of the principles of Chartism and bis n * equal '/ sd labours in behalf of his brother defends ^ duri ng the late trial ; at the same time , tais meeting exp resses its thanks to W .

      Who deserved the thanks of the meeting , and none mow so than Mr . Harney and Mr .
