      THE * JUDGMENT" ! Bilow we give all that this morning ' s post ( TrW » y ) hag brongbt ns , respecting the appearance af fte " ConFpiratorB" in the Court of Qneen ' s Besrt yesterday . The subjoined letters will be read TiUififcrw t . JUDGMENT IS ARRESTED ! Tiers ia to be another fight for it , on the 25 th of Hit . The fight must be foug ht well ! To fight it , ems an required . Those means must be found ! Let the people see to it !

      TO THE CHAfiTISTS . Mr Feiesds . —I pled g ed my faith that we ltd grounds for arresting judgment upon the Ttr&c : obtained against us at Lancaster . That 1 tls not a false prophet the following report v 2 fully prove : — COtRT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , Thcbsdat , Mat 4 . ( Sittings in Banco . J All the avenues to the court were much crowded tins morning , ia consequence of its baring been endemood ihat the Chartists were to appear to rseeive th * judgment of the Court . The following persons asjwered to their names : —

      Fellas O'Connor , Richard Otley , George Julian HarseT , William Hill , John ArraD , William Ait- : ka , Sandy Challenger , Samuel Parkes , Thomas i Bailton , William Woodruff ; the above were eon- 1 vieted on th « fifth eoant only .

I T ' m AnoK 5 rr-GESEBAL prayed the judgment of j the Coprt nNin the » e defendants , w ho had been con- j Titiei in Laneuhtre .

      Lord Dotus said the Court had been informed tfca : some of ^ parties who had been convicted at ' the isries were not in attendance . The Coon wjus i of opinion that that circumstaiice made no differ- j ace a 3 to ( hose who were present . Tne Crown bad ; » nght » proeeed against those who were present ; 1 ma ^ ; ae defendants wuo were in court bad a right to i i ^« any appncaiion . nfttwithstanding the absence i ««« others . It would be better to read the report j n tie ir «; place ; Tee AiroasET-GsssJui said that if any of the i ( taendants or his learned friends proposed to move \ a urea of judgment oo the indictmentj perhaps «*? noght be done at once .

      Mr . Dukba > then said that be appeared for Rober ' aroote , wbo had been convicted on the fourth and nub toiratg , » cd in his behalf Jie had to move in ar-**» tfjoapn ^ nt oa both counts . Lord DKK 1 U . K thought it would be as well to have MWMtsread . The omoerthen read the connts . The fourth count *» wit tbw on the 1 st day of August , and on divers ^« days and times between that time and the 1 st « Ueteber , divers evil-disposed persons assembled » eether , and by threats and intitnidatioa forced « rm w eli-difposed subjects of the Queen to leave ; lfiQr ocwpauon and cease the labour they wer « s ~* 1 } W oa 5 and that the defendants , with other ; ^ iisposed persons unknown , did incite other per- ; ¦* s to eontinue and peraist in such ualawftil assem-1 ™*?» t with intent to raise a . terror and alarm in

      and perfect venue where the Court should appear by the indictment to have had jurisdiction over the offenee . Now , he apprehended it was perfectly clew that these words , "for want of proper or J *! ft * ? ft "implied something where a venue bad been laid in the indictment , bnt either improperly or imperfectly , but did not apply to a case like tee pressnt , where there was no renue at all Lord Diiauir . —u is aa objection yet to be considered undoubtedly . Mr . Duhdas would call their Lordships' attention » the case of " The King v . 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 had been found bv a London er&nd inrv . « mi ? Tu >* f _* _ vnno t ^ U ««^ n 1 » . ¦• .

      In the margia were the words , » ' London to wit . '' In the mdictment the prisoner was described a 3 late of ixradon , but the place where the bill waB alleged to have been stolen was stated to be in the parish of St Marylebone , without stating that the offence was commuted in London . Mr . Justice Littledale and Mr . Justice Bosanquet held that was bad , and not aided by the 7 th of Geotge IV ., so that the statute only aided the want of a proper and perfect Tenue . He apprehended that thongh that was before Tirdict 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 the venue vitiated thav count of the indictment . If their Lordships would look to the count itself , he apprehended it would appear , upon a fair construction of the matterthat 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 at all . It charged that the defendants nnlawfally endeavoured to incite her Majesty ' s subjects to disaffection and hatred of her laws , and unlawfully endeavoured to persnade 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 eudeavour to persuade persons who were the lawful subjects of the Qaeen to a ^ reo to leave their several employments and produce a cessation of labour . No doubt that was to apply to the case of workmen .

      Lord Desman—We think that is also aa objeotion . Mr . Dc * das said then , that he had an objection to the fourth count . He submitted that the fourh count was defective also , by reason of having no venue laid in the early part of it . The Court would see what the nature of the count was ; it charged that serenl persons had tumultuouBly 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 tomultuously rising , and that the workmen were foroed to leave their employments . He took that to be the material fact in this count , because the charge was that the defendants did

      unlawfully aid , abet , assist , and encourage the said evil-disposed persona to continue and persist in the unlawful meetings ; and it was not stated where these unlawful meetings were held , nor , thongh it wa 3 a material fact necessary to be found , was it laid with any venue as it ought to hsr * been by the rules of pleading , and he submitted that it was not cared by the statute to which he had referred , because it did not appear that the faot , which was a material fact , to be tried and found by the jury was a fact wj . ich was tryable within the jurisdiction of the court that tried it . He did not know whether he need refer the Court to authorities to prove that every material fact in issue and to be tried most be laid with time and place . Justice

      Buller had laid down the rule in " The King v . Holland , " 5 Term Reports , 6 * 20 ; but all the authorities , both ancient and modern , eoncurred in laying it down that when there is a material fact to be tried by the jury it mast be laid with time and place , or else the count was defective on the faoe of it . Where was the venue laid here ! There was a time laid , but no pUee . It was laid on the 1 st of August , and on divers other daysb + tween that day aud the 1 st of October , and at divers plaoes , but never saying where those plaoes were . They might be any where in the world ; they were not laid as being within tfce connty of Lancaster , but at certain times and certain places ; no man could say where . There were certain tumultuons risings , and afterwards it Mated that these persons did , &e ~ and then

      a venue was laid very imperfectly ; it stated that on divers other days , between that day and the 1 st of October , in the parish aforesaid , and county aforesaid . After rerdiet perhaps that would do , but he submitted that , in the early part of the indictment , the count 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 abetting such persons in their said aetB . Lord Demnan—Supposing the eoant bad simply stated , that the defendants had aided and abetted , at a . time and f-laee , certain persons who were before engaged in doing seme unlawful act in doing it , then the act of the defendants would appear to be at that place—was it not the same 1

      Mr . Dcxdas snbmitted 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 mn = it be time and place laid as venae to that effect . That was the ' objection , be snbmitted , which was on the face of the fourth count . His learned friends , who appeared for ether individuals , would address the Court on the same point . Perhaps he ought to have stated , as to the fifth count , the act of the 6 th Geo . IV ., c . 129 , see . 34 , which related to workmen meeting to settle wages . Lord Desman said it would be better to hear all parties upon the application .

      Mr . Serjeant Murphy appeared on behalf of John , Durham , Jonathan Bairstow , and Thomas Kailton . He understood the rule was granted ad to ihe fifth count , and he should , therefore , on the fourth count , first observe that there was a material distinction between this case and that of conspiracy . Ttu ' s count aid not charge conspiracy , it was a common statement of aiding and abetting . He was aware , with regard to conspiracy , that it had been held that the offence waB complete with regard to conspiracy when the conspiracy itself was charged ,, and therefore ihe 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 aidiiig and abetting . They

      could not be aiding and abetting , unless it was aiding and abetting in some offence charged upon the indictment , and the charge of that offence must not be taken with regard to those who were aiders and abettors , to be mere inducement , it must be taken tbat there was some substantive offencecharged which ihe defeadants were in connexion and within the jurisdiction of rhe Court , if ; hey were charged with aiding and abetting in that offence . What was the charge made in this case ! Tbat these persons were aidirg and abetting several other persons who had assembled tnmultuousiy together , and by threats * Dd intimidations used towards other persons , forced them to leave their occupations and employments . Supposing it [ appeared on the faoe of the

      indictment that in addition to the mere statement , that these were peaceable subjects of the realm , it bad gone on to state that these persons were residing in the kingdom of Scotland , —he would ask whether their Lordships would not say that the mere aiding and abetting them must be a constructive presence at the aiding and abetting ; it must be ,, therefore ghown , with regard to the offence , that it had taken place within the jurisdiction of the Court , and if that were bo , there was nothing on tne face of the indictment to point out that thi 3 offence might not have taken place out of the jurisdiction where this indictment was preferred , because the only allegation was , that they were peaeeable Enbjects , whom they were endeavouring to prevent going on with

      their trades , and attempted to intimidate with threats aad vjolenoe ; there was nothing to show that these sur jocts might not have been in Ireland and Scot-Jaud , where this Court could not have had any jurisdiction . Their Lordships would recollect that in ordinary' cases , where there was a charge of aiding and aJjetung , in order to give that certainty , and not leave it to inference or implication , there was always an express allegation tbat they were then and there aiding and abetting . There was nothing to show but that the tumultuons ontbreaks might have taken place in Scotland , and the party might have been in England . He might clearly have been aiding and abetting , thongh not then and there present when the outbreak took place ; bnt it was necessary that that should be alleged on the face of the indictment . Supposing the offence

      charged bad been a felony , and that a murder bed been-commitkd by certain persons without an allegation ol venue , and supposing afterwards it was stated tbat in the parish aforesaid , in the county aiore&aid , John Jones did aid and abet the person who had committed the murder , he would ask whether' their Lordships would say with regard to that felonious charge whether it would be sufficient , or whether any verdict could aid that which was a material statement of the murder having been committed ! If the murder was not committed within the jurisdiction , the aiding and abetting would make him amenable to the jurisdiction . The Learned Counsel , for these reasons , urged that the fourth count was bad . Mr . BonxiN , for Doyle and Parkes , and Mr . ATHEBTOflfor Fenton , Leach , HarneT , and Arthur , adopted the same line of argument on behalf of their

      Lord Dejjmah asked if any other defendant wished to move in arrest of judgment ! Mr . Dusdas believed not . Lord Dekmas then said—We are of opinion that alHhese otjcttions ought to be considered , and there will , ihertiorr , be a rule . Will it not be convenient to appoint come time nowjwhen the rule may be argu-. d ? Tne Attckset-General said , { that any day that mit ;!^ le CfUfcUjcut to the Court , ths Crown would bere ^ dT .

      Untitled Article

      It was ultimately arranged that the argument should be heard on the second day of next term . The Atiqrhbt General said , that one of the defendants was in custody . On the part of the Crown there was no wish tbat he should remain in custody , bat 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'icted at Stafford of conspiracy , thon came forward . _ - : -

      Tae Attorney-General prayed the judgment of the Court upon thnse defendants . The Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General , Mr , Serjeant Talfourd , Mr . Richard ? , Mr . Godson , and Mr . Alexander , appeared on behalf of the prosecution . Their Lordships read over the no ' es of Mr . Justice Erskine , before whom the defendants were tried . This occupied the Court from half past eleven o ' olock till the Court broke up , at five o ' clock .

      Thus far have we triumphed over our enemies ! and thus far has thekw triumphed over injustice . ' We are just beginning to learn the use of the law ; and henceforth our party may rest assured that do point shall be 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 1

It has involved me in 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 tbat you are not incorrigibly blind—tbat your eyes are now open—and

      that you at last see who would have led you from the ditch , instead of leading y ou into it , and laaving yon there .

      ( 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 publio ; 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 beld this afternoon , on Kennington 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 Duncombe , that though a faction may denounce him , the people will support him . From the torn which the proceedings have taken , it will uot be neoessary 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 Richards ' s case , by to-morrow morning ' s Post , v ? e « haU give them in an 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 receive their papers till Sunday Morning .

      George Williams , of Glasgow , writes to say that Db . Gkkkr , of Glasgow , "is a stern , bold , and consistent patriot ; " and that he is astonished that the Dr . it not represented t » our columns . " We hardly know what this means . The Doctor , we believe has some pills to sell ; and we have advertised them for him when he has chosen to M order" us to do so , and paid for it . What more is wanted ! CAUTION . — 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 ., t » get up petitions against the Truck System ; 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 Bingley , OMham , and Huddenfield Having had these facts brought under our cognizance , we deem it proper to give this public caution . We have seen letters both from Mr . OaSTLEb , of the Queen's Prison , and Mr . Ferrand , addressed to private parlies , desiring them

      to be on their guard against him . Mr . Ferrand says " ihat he has never received a petition from him ; and that he has no authority from him ( Mr . F J to act as he is doing . " The petence , therefore , ihat he is employed by Mr . Ferrand is a fraud . We have also . seen a letter from himself / 0 Mr . Pitkethly , of H iddersficld , which , of itself , shows the man to be a thorough knave . UES Sinclair Aas received is . 9 d . for Mr .

IE Portraits . — In the Sheffield parcel from our Correspondent there , this week , was the following noie . — " j { Subscriber at Copenhagen , Denmark , wishes to know the cost of all the Portraits pub ^

      lished with the Northern Star , except the renegades" Now this question is a puzzler . He wishes up to except the " renegades" ! Were we to do so . we fear that we should bring a "hornet ' s neat" 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 hims : lf ; while we barely inform him that he can have copies of all the small Portrai ' s at Ad . each ; and of the large ones , after sub scribing six weeks for the Star , for Is . each . ; e Factory " Kmo"' and the Factory Bill . —

      With much pleasure we give the following letter from Mb . Oastler . With his opinion of the system of" relays" we entirely agree ; and it was because of such agreement that we gave his little Fleeter entire , so that the working people might all know what ( he feelings of their "Old King , " respecting the New Bill , were . We were glad , too , that he laid at the right door the ** responsibility" of having commenced that system . Jt was not the * ' ultra philanthropists" «> Ao either coneocUd or introduced it : it was the Hhig Ministry , in spite of all the opposition that the Ten Hours' Me » could yive . Ail this , however , is now conveniently forgotten ; and we are glad that the ' King" stirred up recollection , and shotted the people that it utas not their friends who proposed ** relays . " but their enemies . Mr . OasUer ' s letter is as follows ;—

      To tbs Editor—Dear Sir , —Accept my hearty thanks for tbe insertion of my letter on the Factory Bill . I am certain , if tbe system of " Relays" be perpetuated , increased distress mas * follow . I am satisfied now , tbat my " people" will all see my opinion on the subject . God prosper tbe light—Amen ) Believe me , dear sir , Gratefully and faithfully yours , Richard Oastler . Queen ' s Prison , April 29 , 1843 .

      Inquirer . —/* is certainly true . John Campbell has " piked hit bones off "' to America . The letter inserted in last week ' s Star from W . BcrrKawobth . had a P . S . conveying the information that Campbell had landed in New York ; so that it is certain he was not , nor could he be , in the Queen ' s Bench Court , on Thursday to rereive judgment ! John talked loudly at the " conspirators '" meeting about" doing things on hia own responsibility . " The "things * were done ! but Jons found it convenient to shift his responsible" cat case across the Allantie , and to leave otber 3 at home to "' lake the responsibility " ! As to the second query , tee

      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 the London men had found out their glaring discrepancies and evident falseness , is best known to himself . We are not aware which course he has pursued . We certainly have not hfard of his having placed ( hem in any body ' s hands , to be forthcoming when called for .

      James Bronton , Manchester , must apply the above notice to himself . Cap of Liberty , Brighton . —The letter from this plac e , signed by the Council , affecting Mr . John Cleave , has been handed to that gentleman along with the one from Willi am Flower , in which it was enclosed . Mr . Cleave ' s attention to them is hereby respectfully requested . Joseph Greensmith , Nottingham . —His teller 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 the Northern Star of July 30 , 1842 . —

      In 1792 we are stated to have had a population of 15 , 000 , 000 . By far the greater proportion of tbat population was occupied in agricultural pursuits . Manufactures were with them a secondary consideration . They seemed to act according to tbe dictates of nature : food first ; clothing the next . Tb » inventions of Watt and Arkwright were then new . Their introduction into use waB but slow yet they were being introduced . Tbe population , too , possessed at that time other mechanical and scientific power . According to the Siatisciaas 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 fcsen : — Manual labour ... 3 , 750 , 00 » Meshaniral and scientific power equal to 11 , 350 , 000 Total ... ... 15 . 0 » u , 000 The population was also 15 , 000 , 000 . Thus the aggregate productive power and the population in 1792 weis about equal , or st one to one . The condition of the population then was that which it has never since been . Indeed they experienced a degree of substantial prosperity equal , if n » t superior , to that of the inhabitant * ef any other part of tbe world . Pauperism was comparatively unknown . The poor rates amounted only to £ 2 . 000 , 600 ; and ont of them were paid , as now , the county rates , eateries , and law expences . Now . we are told , thft poor nte » amount to £ 8 , 000 , 000 !! This 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 the necessaries and comforts of li& , which it was calculated to afford ; and it had nofc then introduced the demoralizing effect * which soon afterwards began to emanaro from it .

      Such was the amount of producing pewer in the year 1792 ; and such was tbe state of the population . Let us now set how both these matters stand at the present . Manual , or rather human , labour fuu bet * increased The labour of women aud even children baa been called into long , unceasing daily action , To such an extant he ? this been the case that Statiscians now estimate th :. t one-third of the population are engaged in hand labour , instead of one-fourth , as computed in 1792 . Bat if the producing power of England has been increased by adding to her man-nil 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 therohad been a real increase in oar mechanical and scientific power to produce wealth equal to that of much more than two hundred millions of stoat , active , well-trained labourers < an increase equal to more than ten limes the then population ! 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 ) ... 0 , 000 , 000 Newly-created scientific power from 1792 to 1 SI 7 , understated 200 , # 00 , 000 Scientific power in 1792 ,.. ... 11 , 250 , 000 Total producing power ... 217 , 266 , 000 !!! Tbe population at tfiis period , as we have before seen , was 18 , 000 , 000 . The proportion which the producing power now bore to the population was as twelve and a fraction to one . ' In 1792 the proportion wm , as we have before seen , just equal—as one to one . « # * The population at present , as appears from the last census , is , in round numbers , 27 , 000 , 000 . As the employment of females and children since 1817 has not decreased , but , on the contrary , greatly increased , we adopt tbe last estimate—that one-third of our

      population is 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 mechanical and scientific productive power equal to the labour of more than six hundred millions of " bands '' 1 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 ba here stated . It will give an idea of the kind of da t a on which the conclusion just named is founded .

      Some time ago three of the principal British manufacturers of 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 putBned , tbat is , with hand-cards and single spinning-wheel . They fonnd , 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 the proportion to tbat of more

      than two hundred to one . It ia 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 produos , on the old method and unaided by the late mechanical and chemical inventions and improvements , as much cotton yarn aa is now produced by the 300 , 000 . ' Now 60 , 000 , 000 is 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 ont 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 , 000 , 000 Total producing power — 609 , 000 , 000 ! ! ! Shewing an increase since 1817 of power equal to the labour of 371 , 756 , 0 * 0 " hands" I ' . ! The proportion which our present producing power bears to the population is more than twenty-two to one !! . ' «

      LEEDS . Allotment System . —We have recently had occasion to inake copious remarks on the allotment system in this vicinity , but nothing baa hitherto given us more pleasure than the example set by the proprietor !* of the Airedale Foundry , ia Hunsletlane , who have a plot of land adjoining their premises , which they have divided into iota for tho benefit of their wurlimen , each having 160 yards , and this is allswed the men free of all charge ; rent is toiaily out of the question . Thia is aii example worthy of imitation , and r * fleets honour upon the masters . It would be well if other persons did likewise , raiher than seek profit from the poor by charting an exorbitant rent for their small patches of aiaicst unprofitable laud .

      Bubglarv . During tho night of Monday last , the dwolling-hou-e of Mrs . Ruth Rogers , of Farnley , near L ^ td * , was entered by means of skeleton keys , while the fa-mily were asleep . The thieves obtained possession of r > n 3 y a tr fli"K booty , consintiug of wearing apparel , bed linen , and some bread . Woollen Cloth Stolen . —During the night of Thursday last , tho burling room , at ti . e manufactory of Mr . John Barker , of West Royds House , Bramley , near Leeds , was broken open . The thieves obtained possession of two ends of olive and two ends of blue cloth , in the scoured slate , with which they have hitherto managed to get clear off . Mr . Barker and the Bramloy Association for the prosecution of felons , have offered a reward of £ to for 'the discovery of the offenders .

      Sheep Stolen . —During the night of Thursday last , a shearua ^ wether sheep , marked on the near side' -RiH . " was fctolen from a field at Metb ' . jr , near Leeds . It is the property of Mr . Robert Hollings , of that place-, who , in conjunction with the Association for th « prosecution of felons , has offered a reward of £ 10 for the discorcry of the offenders . Inquest . —On Thursday an inquest was held by J > hn iilackburn , Esq , at the Crowu and Anchor , Rwoslet , on the body of Wm . Brooke , who was so severely injured , whilst driving a waggon at Bell Hill . ' Rothnel 1 , on the 16 ' . h ult ., in . con-.-equenoe of neglecting to lock the wheel , that he died in the Infirjnary , on Wednesday last . —Verdict , " Accidental Death . "

      BARNSU 3 Y . —Two individuals have committed suicide , and a tnird has made the attempt in this town , during the pa ^ t week . Mr . Moone , who kept a shoe warehouse , hung himself on Thursday morning in an old building belonging to a Mr . Burgess , where he was found in a day or two , after a considerable search havicg been made in the different waters about the town ; various causes have been assigned for the rash act , but the most probable one is decline of business an

      a bleacher , ia the employ of Mr . Jackson , hung himself by a small cord fastened to the door . lie was a man . highly beloved and respected by all who knew him , particularly his fellow workmen . Ho was a sober and indnstrious man . He suffered much from illness , which caused him to be of weak nerve , and it is supposed hr . committed the rash act while labouring under mental derangement . He has left five children and a wife to lament Jbis loss . A widow woman of the name of Bell was the third person who attempted the rash act , but fortunately one of her neighbours happened to see her , and cut her down , and by medical assistance she recovered .

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 cutout . Oueofthemen appeared between thirty and thirty-five years of age , dressed in a dark velveteen shooting jaoket , light-coloured trousers , plsid handkerchief , and about five feet seven inches high ; the other was rather taller , and dressed in dark clothes .

      Manchestpsi District of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows . —The officers of this district opened a lodge of the above order on Monday evening , at the house of Mr . John Kennedy , the Temperance Hotel , Oldham-street , Manchester , entitled the Temperance Lodge , Ho . 3 , 941 , of tho Manchester Unity , and established upon the great prinoiple of temperance . Fatal Railway Accident . —On Saturday afternoon last , bet wen five and six o ' olock , a distressing accident occurred en the branch railway at Blackwood , a few miles from Newport , occasioned by the blowing up of a locomotive engine used on the line , by which , we regret to say , two persons were kilied , and two others seriously injuried . The branch

      railway in question is the property of the Tredegar Iron Company , is entirely used for the conveyance of iron from the company ' s roinps in Monmouthshire to Newport , and is about twenty-five miles in extent . On Saturday , about the lime stated , an engine called the Vulcan , with a train of waggons , returning from Newport to the mines , stopped at Blackwood , where the engine-drivers and stokers got off and went to the George public-bouse , which waa opposite tho railway , for refreshment . They had not been iu the house many minutes before a terrific explosion took place , which shook the entire village , and produoed the greatest consternation amongst the inhabitants . Upon tbe men rushing out they discovered that it was the engine on the line that had exploded , and in

      the carriage-road alongside of the railway they beheld two gentlemen who had been knocked down by the remnants ef the boiler , which with the engine , was totally destroyed , and scattered aeveraLhuadted feet from the place where th « accident happened . One of the unfortunate persons v ? a 8 Mr . Davis , a farmer residing at Buttrey Hatch , in Monmouthshire , who was in his 70 th year ; and the other proved to be Mr . Phil / ip Williams , a tradesman living at Blackwood . ' The latter was quite deadpart of the skull having been carried away : and Mr . Davia expired from the frightful injuries he hid sustained while the men were conveying him to a house in the neighbourhood . Two other ^ persons were afterwards discovered in a field ntar the

      railway , having been struck by pieces of the engine , and much mutilated . Tney were immediately picked up and placed in safety , but it is supposed , from the extent of injariee they have received ' , it is impossible fos them to recover . Great damage was done to several houses near the spot . All the wiudow-paina in the George pnblic-house were blown iu , and part of tho 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 waa 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 ot property , engine included , is estimated at least at £ 1 , 000 .

      TO THE PEOPLE . Mt dear Fbiknds , —This morning has shewn me the value of lawyer gab , when rightly used . Every evil has some good in it ; and so has lawyer gab . We mastered at half-past ten in Westminster Hall ; and ft goodly gang of "jolly conspirators " were we . There were some defaulters among the M wide mouthed ones , " as usual . Your Captain Bobadils" are always minus , if but the suspicion of consequences flits across the pathway of their "bouncing . " There were one or two , I believe , who were destitute of the means of travelling to London , and

      who consequently couW not come ; and I know that some of those who did come , have made sacrifices of tbe most fewful personal character to do so . 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 eully the fair flag of Chartism by skulking—I need not say tbat these were not open-mouthed men The men most determined in fighting a battle throagh are always they who are most wary in pitching upon their ground However , with few exceptions , there the conspirators were , aad a finer lookiug . set of fellows I have seldom seen .

      After the preliminaries , calling over names , &o ., the lawyers on our side began to state their objections—legal , technical objections—to the indictment under which we were convicted . Dun das opened the ball , Sergeant Murphy followed him , and was sustained by Messrs . Bodkin and Atherton . It is needless to annoy you with the particulars of their technical ppeeches , which , as plain , unsophisticated men , some of you would but imperfectly understand ; suffice it that they made the Government Attornies look very much like

      fools . They stated several grounds of objection which they contended must be fatal to the indictment and tbe verdict , both as to the fifth count and the fonrth . The Whig Lord Chief Justice Denman 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 should not be arrested , both as to the fifth count and the fourth

      connt , of the indictment ; and appointed the second day of next term , ( which will , I believe , be about the 26 ih of May ) , for the hearing of the argument . As it would have involved serious expences to all the defendants to have been obliged to come up to 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 op in custody , released and put in the same position as the other defendants . This the Court acceded to , and bound him and all the others in their recognizances of £ 100 to appear lor sentence when called on ; so that the whole matter stands thus : —On the 26 th of May we have the grand fight of lawyers , as to whether the two counts of the indictment , under which rerdiot has gone against the whole of the defendants , 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 proceedings , trial and eo&viction , are 60 much waste paper , aud tbe Government is foiled and beaten with its own infernal machine , —the monster indictment will have cut 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

      absolute necessity—of going through this battle well-There are but two or three weeks before the argument ; THE » E 8 T AND ABLEST LAW TEES OF THE BEALM must be had \ for the Government will put forth their whole strength . The fight will be a sharp one , and we must win it . We can only 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 yon for money , money , money ; I

      hate tne necessity which calls for it ; but I can't help it ; the necessity is there ; it does call , and it must be answered . You know tbat if my advice to you had not been over-balanced by that of those who now skulk from the consequences of their own ** bravery , ' * the necessity wonld never have existed ; the trap would have been avoided . But my advice was not taken ; the trap waa gone into ; yonr bravest and beet men are " in for it , " and you must see them through . The scorn of all hoaest man , and the curse of all patriots would blast yonr names for ever if you should now be base

      enough to see this cause lost for lack of means to carry on the war . Yon responded well to ay last call upon yon . Yon have done tnobiy . Yon 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 means of going on . I do hope and trust that this will be the last time that you will be called on to make such exertion . We must have no more of these freaks—Chartism cannot afford it-Thanks to yoar spirit and the indomitable energy of Mr . O'Connor and others , out of ihis evil much
