"

      . REPEAL DEMONSTRATION IN GALWAY . Galway , Sunday Night , June 25 . At a meeting recently held in this town , and presided over by Br- Browne , the Titular Bishop of Galway , it iras resolved : * That it was advisable to call Bponflie several trades of Galway , the fishermen of Claddagh , and inhabitants generally of Gal" « raj , Jreeonnanght , and Connemara , to form in a Tegular and orderly manner in the market-place , lyre-EQToare , at twelveno ' clock fills day , and thence proceed , with their bands of mnfdo in advance , to greet the approach of the liberator , who was expected to meet them at Oranmore ( a Email town four miles and a-hah * from Galway ) , where they

      • were to unite with the countless thousands by Trhom , no doubt , the Regenerator would be accompanied , return to Galway , and pass tbrongh ihe town to the place of meeting ( about a mile to ihe westward side } , where O'Connell would address them . It was also resolved to be desirable ** that the most rigid decorum Ehonld be observed during ihe progress &f this great national demonstration ; ihat temperance , firmness , and peace shcnld he the order of the 4 aj- that neither ringing of joy-bells nor flluminations Ehonld he required , and that green branches should not be exhibited , lest any depredation might he committed in procuring them , rememheringihat 'he who violated the law strengthened the enemies of Ireland . *"

      -Efcs trades , ± wenty-nx in number , assembled as directed at 12 o ' clock , and proceeded to Oran-1 Q 0 T& : On one of ihe numerous banners which they displayed was the design of a drawn sword and ibe scales of justice , surmounted by " Repeal . " AH tiie elements of agitation hitherto employed were pnt in force on this occadon , and had the effect of drawing together an immense number of people . In this respect more particularly , Galway far outshone Athlone , bnt it is said that the amount of Repeal rent will not be eommenrurate with the display of unmberF . Several triumphal arches ¦ were hnng across the streets through which the procession was to pass , but only two of them had mottoes , which were , * O'ConneH , the Moses of his country , leading the children of Grannale out of

      Saxon bondage , and " For a nation to be free it is sufficient that she wills it . " There was not a single ¦ window from which a "view of the procession could be commaxded that was not occupied from about 22 o'clock until the arrival of Mr . O'Connell , which did not take place for several hours after the time announced—the proceEson not having reached the place of meeting until after 7 o ' clock , when many who had hem waiting to hear the Liberator had gone disappointed to tiieir homes . When Mr . O'Coimell ascended the platform it was determined ihat there should be very little speaking , and the proceedings were constguently got through very hurriedly . AUnsions having been made to it , I should observe ibat the Cyclops war steamer arrived here yesterday , bringing two companies of the 36 tll Regi-XneBtfrom . Limerick , and WSS WiiMu Bight Of the meefcmE .

      Lord Ffbexch was called to the chair , and having xetarned thanks for the honour , The Hon . Mr . Fksekch fhi 3 son } moved the first resolution—** That the people of Ireland were entitled to a domestic Legislature , and that a population of 9 , 000 , 000 was too great to be dragged at the tail of any other ration . "—( Enthusiastic cheering followed the reading of ihe resolution . ) Mr . Bux £ of Frankfort , having seconded it , it was put and carried . The Rev . Mr . Roche , parish priest of Galway moved ihe next resolution to the effect— "That the obnoxious rent-charge , the unjust and inequitable Poor Law system , the limited state of the franchise and the neglect of any eaaetaent to secure fixity of iennre , together with the fatal tffects of the abseaiee drain , were evident proofs of the evil working of ihe Union . " ~

      Sir V . Blake , in seconding ihe resolution ( which passed ) , declared that he eame there partly for the purpose of provoking the zupersedeas of the Government . Mr , Cosnrs , of "Woodstotk , one of the superseded , meved the next resolution : — ¦ " Thafrwhfle they deprecaied all idea of violence , they felt called on to eondean the policy of the Government in dismissng fr .-m the Magisterial office men of the hi-hest chiraeter , sianon , and property , in inundating their enfortunate conntry with an extraordinary jsihujry &rce , asd in-bombarding their coasts with her Majesy ' s navy ; and that such demonstration tf hostifiry had no terrors for the people of Ireland / 1 Tae resolution was seconded and passed . The Rev . Mr . Kagle tReman Catholic vicar of Gort ) moved the adoption of a petition / which was Eecondedoy Mr . " Wihieb , and agreed to .

      Mr , OCokeell then presented himself . He came ihere , he said , to tell them that no power on earth could prevent a Repeal of the " Onion , tfe had himself been told so by more than 2 , 000 . 000 of Irishmen , and he wanted to know if they we *» of the same opinion ? { Cries of" We are . " ) Bui . : oinions would not do—were they of the same cea-jainaiion ! tCries of ** We are , " and " We won - * die for it . *) -Be wanted no man to die for iu He Ehonld have no death , so bloodshed , no breach of Sie law ^ mo violence of any kind ; bnt he jt-oid assnrediy carry fiie Repeal of the Union . { Cheej . ) He was not decsiTzug them . He was telling thtm ihe conviction of his mind , aad it was a conviction

      which also existed in the minds of many whodispnted the fact . He came there to offer a challenge , mot in the chivalry of Galway , which he condemned —ini to every writer of ancient or modern history to point ont-any occasion in the history of the world in which men were engBgedin so pare and so holy a cause as Hie present . He was struggling to rescue a great people from thraldom , to liberate them from the doisliiation of the Saxon and the alien . The miscreant Cromwell , when he ascended tile mountains abont donmel , asked was not that a country - wortli Sghting for ! He ( Mr . O'Connell ) would ask , tras iiol Ireland a conntry worth straggling for ; and , it hatQe same upon ibenij if battle were fcrced bpob tiiem , yas it not , he teo wpuld ask ,

      a conntry worth fighting for 1 { Cheers ) -they were engaged in a noWe struggle , and they were opposed in a most ludicrous way ; First came the threat of civil war , from the twaddling , tottering iron duke in the Eonse of Lords , and m the House of CommoBs from Peel ; who | accompanied it with the treasonable falsehood , that the Queen had declared that she was an enemy to the Repeal of the Union . They laughed that threat to scorn , knowing that they were safe beneath the shield of the constitution so long as they violated no law , and gave no opportunity to their enemies to ] attack them ; while at the same time the ; were ready , and Btlll were ready , to meet any attack that might be made npon them—< cheers ) . "Wo to him who assailed

      them . They would never abandon the constitution under which they lived , bnt they would know how to perish in it if necessary—( cheers ); Th 6 n came Sngden upon them , who had the andacitv to do so , knowing that if vhe ^ saervion weie iCTtn tine , it would still have been unconstitutional to have made nse of it . The next step was a proclamation against the ballad-singers , with 4 i' ^ ctions to the police to watch every old woman who sang iongs in the streetB , to take hex np , and bind her over to'keep the peace —{ laughter ) . "Wellington , Peel , Graham , and mad Stanley , could think of nothing better for Ireland than a proclamation against ) old women . They were so much afraid of them that they sent a war-stumer there to keep them quiet . Now , he had a great mind to pnt four old women iDto a boat eoxswain

      to-morrow , with "the son of a sea-cook as , and send them over to take that steamer . He said so thus early that the officers might have fair notice —{ laughter ) . Something more serious , however , followed , for if they arrested a single old woman under that proclamation , he knew ; an attorney who would bring an action against the person arresting her—( hear , hear)—so , that not an arrest wonld take place without an action , in order to try the good taste of ihe policemen who should arrest . But then came the most frightful part of the opposition . Sir J . Graham ; representing the power of the Crown in the House of Commons , had the atrocions audacity Cho spoke of newspaper reports ) to assert that the prelates , clergy , nobility , gentry , and laity of Ireland were gnilty of perjury against the oath of allegiance . He < Mr . O'Connell )

      was ashamed to say , that with a few exceptions , the Irish gentlemen who were present had not treated the Home Secretary as he deserved . Sir W . Barren told him be was insolent . That was a tolerable hint ; but he regretted to find it stated , and j hoped it was not trne , thai the © 'Conor Don accepted a kind of left-handed apology . Ha was treated as a perjnrer , and should not have accepted anything short of the most complete retractation of so degrading a charge . It was a false—it was a lying , charge . ( Cries of" It was . ") When Sir R . Inglis made it in his ( Mr . O'Connell ' s ) presence he told him he was a M liar ; " and Sir Robert ingVia never attempted to say H again . Bat Sir J . Graham had the audacity to repeat it , and in doing so was hallooed and applauded by an immense majority of the Honse of Commons that shonld continue to make

      laws for Ireland . ( Hear , hear . ) Bnt Sir J . Graham went so far asto ^ ay that Ireland had got enough , and could get no more , and boasted of having granted her Catholic emancipation . Thank you for nothing , said the gallypot . ( Laughter . ) "Why it was by meetings not one-tenth part so large , as the present that they carried on the struggle for Catholic emancipatin ; meetings which were never so large , as to require to be held in the open air , and which aiwajB took place in a public building . Bat what public building , he shonld like to know , would contain the number of people who had remained till that late hour to express their determination f to obtain a Repeal of the Union ? ( Cheera . ) Catholic emancipation was bnt the fulfilment in a century and a half

      of the treaty of Limerick , which England , to her eternal disgrace , had atrocionsly violated . Sir J . Graham boasted of having given them Corporate Reform , and struck off ten bishops from the Protestant church . As for the measure of reform , it was an insult to Ireland ; and , with regard to the bishops , he did not care how f * w or how many they were , so long as they kept the pay . It was no \ use to strike off the bishops unless the money was struck off also . He never would be satisfied bo long as that badge of religious servitude remained which compelled the people at large , instead of the Protestants only , to support the Protestant chnrch . Sir J . Graham said that nothing more should be conceded to Ireland . But he could tell them that there should , and that

      a Repeal of the Union must be conceded . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to ennmerate the various advantages which he said would accrue to the conntry from a Repeal of the Union—viz ., the abolition of the tithe rent-charge and the handing over of the temporalities of the Protestant church for the use of the nation at large ; the repeal of the Poor Law ; "Vote by Ballot ; the extension of the Suffrage to every Householder , and to every married man , whether a householder or not ; and the bringing home of the absentees . In reference to this last he observed , that a Conservative gentleman in Clare ( Mr . Malony , of KilcannoD ) spent . £ 2 , 400 a year in wages , and employed hiB men throughout the entire year . Now ,

      he cared not if he were a Conservative or Orangeman , he wonld say , that that was . a good man , and he hoped that God wonld prosper him here , and bless him hereafter—( cheers ) . Another advantage he alluded to was fixity of tenure . He had a list of 103 families , whom a misbegotten Englishman named Wyndham , in the county of Clare , had turned off one property . If they had a fixity of tenure this would not happen . Lord Clancarty , he understood , had issued an order to his tenantry not to attend that meeting , peaceable and loyal as it was . Fixity of tenure would prevent landlords from-thus making serfs of their tenants , and depriving them of every feeling of independence . Mr . St . George , of Headfort , had , he nnaerstbod , acted in a similar manner

      —a man who bad been deprived of the commission of ihe peace by the " Whigs and re-instated by the Tories . He was , mortover , informed that Lord Clancarty compelled his Roman Catholic tenants to send their children to Protestant school ; and that was the man who pnt forward proclamations against political meetings to petition Parliament ! A Repeal of the Union would very soon pnt a bridle into that fellow ' s month , and it would be worth looking for on that acconnt alone —( hear , hear ) . A Repeal of the Union would remove the county rates from the tenant altogether , and enable Ireland to pay off her share of the national debt in about five years . Was there a man amongst them that would not undergo fatigue , and toil , and labour , and even death to

      obtain these advant » geafor his country ] ( Cheers . ) "Was there a man amongst them that wonld not risk his life , if necessary , to obtain them ! ( Renewed cheers . ) Bnt he wanted nothing of the kind . All he wanted was , that they should pay h > ne shilling each , and enrol themselves as associates , and that they should let him have 3 , 000 , 000 Repealers before he proceeded to lake his next step . They bad the sanction and support of their venerated bit-hops and ibe anointed priests of God , who WOflld not lend him their connieuauce if they weTe yiolaticg the law or instigating to immorality . Under that sanction and fTippora he exhorted them to organise . The hon . and learned gentleman retired amid the most enthusiastic cheering .

      Mr . D . Bbowse , A 3 . P ., was called to the chair , and thanks being voted to Lord Ffrench , the people rapidly dispersed . It being 9 o ' clock . Mr . O'Connell then drove to the " residence of Dr . Browne , the Bishop of Galway , with whom he dined . ;

      TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . " He must watch who wonld overcome . " Feiaow Cobbtrtmes , —Informer letters aaaressed to yon , the members of the Repeal Association , and to Mr . O Cornell , I laboured to impress upon your minds the necessity iot adopting immediate and energetic measures to obtain the bo Iobi ; talked of , and and so much loved , Repeal vf the legislative Union . That you have at length aronsed from yonr apatby , I rejoice to perceive ; bat that I feave rome dutibts as te the happy result of your present agitation , I cannot cbdceal either fram myself or you . I have ever given yon crealt foi " honesty of intention ; " a ^ d am still of opinion that yon are , and ever will he , invincible , provided yonr energies are not improperly directed , or

      yonr labours rendered frnitless through design or inconsistency by those in whom yon so implicitly confide . I would not willingly offer the slightest objection to damp the ardour of your hopes ; % nt as I have so often nxged you to action , I may be permitted , now the struggle has commenced , to battle in your ranks , and whilst •»*¦ combat the open foe together , cautiously watch and guard against the wiles or treicnery of in temal enemies or pretended fritnds . Ton will ( k < ubtless remember that in defending the prcTory policy ot tie English CtartiBtB at the late Parliamentary election , I stated that they defeated the Wbigs to get rid of false , treacherous , and hypocritical preteuuers to pcliikal virtue ; and that they exalted the Tories not fcr love of them , but for " a love of fait play "—as one enemy , and an open : one , is of t ^ o esils the best This opinion they still hold ; and disclaiming alike connexion "with either par . ' y , aod fearless of the envy of the one , or the

      pow ^ r of tba other , stand boldly forward the advocates of justice , tire enemies of oppressors , and the friends of the oppressed . In ibis light , then , you nmat view the Chartists ; sad , as 2 have the honour ] to be one of fckat body , I eaa , as your countryman , Touch for the truth of -what I assert . Here , then , we have " honesty of intention- and " consistency of principle" united , snd the moral might of a generous people ready and willing to assist ns to Attain oar countryis redemption . But this atf , atrange to « ay , ifl rejected ! And why ? At an irishman , aj a Bepealer , and as a Chartist , I again ask , -why ? in the name of justice ] in the name of Ireland , I ask , -why do yon Teruse the aid here offered ? Now , mark me ) Upon this refusal of cooperation 1 base my doubts and fears j for Ireland's weal It is npon this little fitattcb : of despotic authority—this fettering of the will and reason of the Irish—this petty attempt * t renewal of old and forgotten prgnoices , fibflt I » m lea to suspect the sinoentf pt fenz leaders , ftDCl disappointment to yourj

      hopes . Do not take ic ill . I have no desire to impeach O'Connell ; bnt still I have a right to caution you against all possible chance of the Repeal question being put in abeyance , as formerly . It will be remembered that the case is widely different betwixt the Irish seeking for Catholic Emancipation , and seeking for a Repeal of the Union . The first of these you obtained , bnt'not as frequently erroneously stated , by individual IRISH agitation , nor indeed without the co-operation of the people of Great Britain . In the case of Emancipat ion , tho « e who were even opposed by prejudices werereasily won to your opinions , from the knowledge , that if even you were successful , it would not ihszard their interests , so long as it " did not confer the chance of decreasing

      their majorities in the houses of Par liament ; and ¦ which according to the Act of Union could not , at least immediately , take placed Besides interested , and consequently prejudiced , parties saw that by emancipating the Irish , they also gained an advantage by dispoBsesa-Ing the forty shilling freeholders of the franchise . This deprivation -wis fully an equivalent for the boon you received ; for the Government by that means increased their own strength by lopping off a vital member from your body politic . How can I see that the Emancipation frasin reality no benefit at all ? For two simple reasons—first , that you had no security for its permanency , so long- as it conferred no further political privileges than the . right of Catholics to sit in ( a minority ) in the houses of Parliament ; and , secondly , because

      only a very small portion of the Irish people have derived any advantage whatever from its existence , and because any measure to be good should be beneficial to all alike , without distinction of persons ? To explain this , I will suppose Mr . Lane Fox would , as he threatended , bring in a bill , say to-morrow , for a repeal of the Act of Emancipation ; what earthly means would you have to prevent it being carried in the present Parliament ? Wiiat political strength er influence have you to oppose , in case such a . circumstance were to occur ? The chances are entirely against you ; for I have little doubt the Tories would not hesitate to enslav . e you : nor conld you depend on the "Whigs ; for should they even rote in yeur favour , it would be only for the purpose of wheedling themselves into ' your

      confidence as heretofore , and , following in their toimer foot * Eteps , coerce you for yoni kindness . I have no hesitation in stating that it is my firm conviction that the Whigs confidently hope , to benefit by the present agitation for : Repeal j and , if you will only examine for yourselves , you will , I am certain , be convinced of its truth . In an article of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper of the 17 th instant . Loid John KuBsell is made to boast of the amount ol confidence reposed in his , the Whig , party , by the Irish ; and further states that all the good (?) done in ten years by the Whigs , has been destroyed by only as many months ofa Tory Administration ; and adds for his ( the Dispatch ) part , that be believes the Repeal agitation is only a means to coerce the Government , as it is

      the last thing Tie 'would think of , or the Irish require , or actnally hojoe to obtain . Now , what is all this tantamount to ? Why , virtually to prepare the Irish mind to receive the intelligence ihat ere long the Repeal will be placed in abeyance , and ( l justice to Ireland" henceforth administered . This can enly be obtained by a union of the Irish with the Liberal or Whig party . In proof of this , I wonld draw your attention to the fact , that whilst in office the Whigs forgot their pledges to do you justice ; but now they meanly boast of favours done you , which jou never received at their hands . They can cry out like political hypocrites ( as they are ) against the introduction of an Arms Bill for Ireland , and forget that it -was one of the favours -which they themselves gave you in return for your services ; and that it was they who furnished Sir Robert Peel with the opportunity to beard even the Irish members with

      inconsistency for crying oat against a measure brought in under the sanction of a Tory administration , to which under a Whig government they offered only a mere passive resistance , and even in many instances supported . This , and ( without meaning any offence ) the display of names and personages who have ever been known as Whigs ( or nick-named Liberals ) who grace the pages and swell the ranks of the Repealers , looks ominous for poor Ireland becoming again the dupe and victim of Whigling philanVhropby . If , then , Emancipation was obtained by the co-operation of the English , and for the reason I have assigned , the question of the Reform had also its support from another but a more interested motive on the part of the middle classes , who , it will be remembered , never yet cordially agreed , or ever wished for any connection with the people , save when they used them as a means to accomplish some political scheme for their own aggrandisement .

      The ReformBill was carried in the face of Tory opposition ; but did it benefit those whom it preteDded it would benefit ? No : for if it had , the first fruits of Irish interference wonld not have been the Coercion Bill , 'which emanated from the Whigs ; nor the introduction of the present unpopular and accursed Poor Laws amongst you . You cannot , therefore , flatter yourselves that if Emancipation and Reform were carried against a Tory Government , that Repeal will also be carried on the same principle , and by the same

      means . In the former cases I have shown you that the middle classes either saw their union with the people would not injure them , or that it was their interest to use them as tools to further their own purposes . But in the case of Repeal you can hare no such hope , save from one sordid class ; and they are those who hope to reap a rich reward for their services , and -who never obtrude themselves upon public notice save to give warning that a day of rapine and plunder is at hand . I will be plain to tell you , you cannot expect to receive middle-class sympathy in favour ot Repeal . You can have no such hope from that quarter , as they firmly believe the Union means a drawback on their interests , and , generally speaking a separation of countries . Nor can you remove their prejudices ; self-interest blinds them to yonr real motives , and hardens their hearts to

      your sufferings . Your only hope is in the poor , toilworn , persecuted , unpurchasable , and invincible working classes ; and tho&e your true friends , who have already given the world a proof of their power by the destruction of the Whig faction , and who have compelled a Tory government to acknowledge their claims for equal representation to be just , and who have in the spirit of generous sympathy for your wrongs , evinced a noble determination to assist you against your oppressors , yoa have tto speak mildly ) unwisely rejected . As an Irishman , and one who loves his country as bis life , whose only hope is in her welfare , and whose greatest grief would be her ruin , I protest against the motive , whatever it may be , which could peril the cause which you advocate by rejecting in time of need the only friends and support which you can possibly hope to aid yon in your struggle for national independence .

      Bnt it is possible you may yet see when too late that such a rejection has been a fatal error ; yon may also learn that English Chartists are not actuated by mercenary motives , but would have assisted you into the haven of political repose which will never be your lot until you assume the right to think and judge for yourselves . If this were now the case , you would not reject so kind an offer ; nor weuld you seek a Repeal of the Union without : also seeking for a security that it would be a blessing instead of heretofore , a national aod domestic curse , i again repeat there ia reason to fear the W&igB wQl take advantage of the present crisis to regain power ; and if that day should arrive , the fate of Ireland will indeed be lamentable , and your chains be doubled to lender your slavery the more perfect .

      I have written on former occasions under the title of Veritas , but as jay local opponents are aware ef the fact , and I am weary ef using a mask , I shall to shew how little I caru for personal considerations when ceuntry Is at stake and claims my bumble services , Subscribe myself Your most obedient bumble servant , W .

      OPPRESSION IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON . A HARD CASE . There is no greater mistake than to suppose that justice is not withheld from the poor . There is in this prUon a poor gentleman , who is anxious to meet a jury , but , because he is poor , he can neither force his prosecutor to bring him to trial , nor obtain his release from prison on bail . He is , in fact , the prisoner of hiB enemy , confined under the warrant of a Judge , during the pleasure of his prosecutor ! People outside assume , because a Judge has said so , that , *• If any man hath wrong or injury done to him by his imprisonment , we ( the Judges ; have the power to release him . "

      That the words of this emphatic declaration of Lord Htde were tine when tbat great and wise Judge used thtm , there can be no doubt ; but how far they are carried out in practice at the present day , will be seen fruiu the foliowiDg cose . Last January an icdictment was preferred before the grand jury , sitting in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , at Westminster Hall , against Mr . T . for alleged perjury , stated to have been committed in an affidavit which he swore on the 11 th day of that month -, and " a true bill" was returned on Saturday the 28 Ui of January . About four hours afterwards , the prosecutor obtained a Bench warrant under the hand and seal of the Chief Justice , for Mr . T . ' s apprehension , and be was next morning ( being Sunday ) taken into custody by a police constable , and ; conveyed to a station-house , where he remained until the following day ; and at tbree o ' clock of that day { Monday , the 30 th of January , ) be was taken before a Judge at chambers , and committed U prison for want ef bail .

      Mr . T ,, although a member of a highly respectable family , was ; unable to procure bail , and he determined patiently to remain in prison until the following term , when , from Ifae prosecutor ' s declaration that " no time should be lost in bringing him to trial , " be expected to foe brought up to plead and take his trial . Easter Term arrived , and lasted from the 19 th day Of April to the ° th day of Hay ; bnt the prosecutor took no proceeding to bring the ease forward . Vacation intervened , and then Trinity Term arrived ; still nothing was done by the prosecutor .

      Sir . T ., -wearied out by waiting , and with the prospect before him of the long vacation , at last wrote to the proEecutor , stating " his readiness to go to trial , and asking prosecutor whether he meant to go on in tbat term . " Prosecutor replied thai " he Wou !( J take imoiedinte steps to bring Mr . T . up to plead . '

      Ofltbe 8 kh of June Mr ; T . was brought into Court , and pleaded . " not guilty ; " and then moved the Court to bind ihe piosecutor over te prosecute , and to let him ( Mr . T . ) out of custody , either on his own recognizance , or open giving such bail as be could procure . He urged upon the Court ' s consideration the long time he had remained in prison without trial and conviction of a jury—his perfect readiness at all times , since bis imprisonment , to go to trial , and bis unceasing anxiety for an opportunity to establish bis entire freedom from guilUand his innocence of the crime charged against him , ' and referred to the Act of Paaliament ( 48 Geo . 3 rd , 58 . ) under the authority of which the warrant bad been granted upon which tie had been apprehended ; and which Act directs , that " in case a defendant

      charged by indictment for any offence ( not being treason or felony ) shall neglect or refuse to give bail for his appearance , the Jndge shall commit him to prison , therejto remain until be shall give bail , Or shall be dischargto fry . order of ihe sofdCottrt in term time , or of one of tfie Judges in < vacation ; " which Act , he maintained , gave the Judge power to discharge him , and particularly in a case like the present , where the prosecutor had so long neglected to bring the case to trial . He also maintained that the judges of the Queen ' s Bench could * in the exercise of that pawer which they enjoyed at common law , &i well as by the above and

      other ^ Statutes , admit him to bail in such sum only as be could procure ; for the Act of William and Mary declares it'to bean efibnee against the liberty of the subject to , demand excessive bail , being in tfeel a denial of iuil altogether . The Learned Ju < £ ge , however , In very humane language , informed Mr . T . be could not compel his prosecutor to go on , and that be had himself to blame for his long Imprisonment , for he might have given bail long ago , and recommended him to apply ! to a Judge at chambers with the best bail he could obtain . So that a poor man in prison is presumed to be in lii . % own custody , when he cannot obtain bail , and bis prosecutor refuses to bring him to trial .

      As I have already stated , Mr . T . is unable to procure bail , and be remains in prison , without trial and conviction . Tbi 3 , under circumstances even of clear guilt , is a hardship , because imprisonment before trial is seldom taken into acconnt in apportioning punishment after conviction ; but in the present case , if it bo true tbat the accused is prepared to establish , by the clearest and most unimpeachable evidence , bis innocence , it amounts to a great practical cruelty to the individual . It is hardly possible to account for tne seeming difference which exists in the administration of criminal law at the Central Criminal Court from that in practice in the Queen ' s Bench , the highest Court of criminal justice iu England . Few persons have any knowledge of that difference .

      At the Central Criminal Conrt , prisoners who are not tried and convicted or acquitted , are discharged by proclamation at the end of each Sessions ; and had Mr . T . been indicted in that Court , and committed to Newgate in January last , he must have been tried or discharged before the expiration of five weeks . He has now been imprisoned five months , owing to the difference of practice in the Queen ' s Bench ; and under n » circumstances can he now be brought to trial before November ; so that the practice of the Court of Queen ' s Bench' is is a premium on persecution . It is impossible to say whether , when the prosecutor preferred his

      indictment in the Queen ' s Bench , he contemplated tee possibility of the accused being kept so long in prison without a conviction ; but it is a fact that cannot be denied ; tbat if the prosecutor had Waited from the Saturday when be procured a " true bill" against Mr . T . in the Queen ' s Bench , until the followivg Monday morning , a period of less than forty-eight hours , he might ! have indicted him at the Central Criminal Court ; and in that case , as I have ' above shown , Mr . T . must have been long ago brought te trial . Surely the Judges of the Court of Queen ' s Bench ; will no longer allow themselves to remain the instruments of injustice for the gratification of malice !

      It is cruel in the extreme to charge a man with such a grave offence as that of perjury ( which is not less dangerous to the welfare of society than it is detestable in its nature , ) and not allow him to prove his innocence . ] Some men ( and it ia not by any means an impossible supposition ) possess such weak minds , and dread ] the anxiety of delay ; and attendant misery of imprisonment so much , that rather than be confined for an indefinite period , they would plead guilty , though such plea were a manifest falsehood , in order , at a dis

      tank period , to be able to reckon with certainty on their restoration to liberty ; for the law takes no trouble , in such cases , to ascertain the truth of the accused ' s plea—it only concerns itself with a prisoner ' s guilt . If he be innocent , and thinks proper to say otherwise , the law will presume he is guilty , however impossible it may appear that he could have committed the crime imputed to him . The danger arising from such a proceeding , to the interests of third parties , is too obvious to require more than a passing remark .

      It is true , and it is all that can be said in excuse for the grievance in question , that an innocent man , if wrongfully accused , may , upon the acquittal of a jury , maintain an action for a malicious prosecution ; but tbat is a remedy accessible only to a rich man . A poor man would look with horror at the prospect of litigating , a suit at law . There are few men who have ever embarked in such an ' enterprise , that have not regretted their folly ; for a verdict is not always a gain —it is often a loss to the successful party , and the entire ruin of his opponent . In a case like the present . it becomes a subject for the serious consideration of those interested in Buch matters , bow far it may not be possible to subdue a man ' s spirit into a false acknowledgment of guilt , and thereby inflict ; au irreparable iBjury upon the administration of justice . ,

      In this particular case , perhaps some guarantee against such a calamity may be found in the character of Mr . T ., whose free , and apparently candid communications , induce the belieT that when be protests his innocence , he is prepared to prove it ; and those who abhor tyranny for tyranny's sake , will , doubtless , not withhold their sympathy from him . Weiknow that he contrives to support himself on the prison , allowance , with the aid of some trifling gifts of a few shillings from sympathising friends ; and his wife , who is an accomplished and amiable woman , shares bis captivity . :

      This prisoner is denied justice because he is poor . That poverty is manifest , when he is supported out of the "; coun () y money "; still , bail is demanded . Thus , English Judges are , by such "Court practice , " more unjust than Shylock . He only demanded his bondthe bond of allegiance Is Trial—or Liberty!— Oastlers Fleet Paper for this week .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday , June 27 . The second reading of the Church Endowment Bill was moved by Tbe Bishop of London , who expressed his gratitude for the support he had received in his diocese in aid of church extension . One pisoof of this was , that ten churches had been required for the pariah of Bethnalgreen , tand nine wore already erected . Lords Monteaqle and Brougham supported the bill : after which it was read a second time .

      The proceedings , in themselves of no special interest , were ' diversified by a most violent attack by Lord Brougham upou Lord A berdeen—principally for having on the previous evening declined to consent to any further postponement of his measure upon the Scotch Church , notwithstanding that Lord Brougham was obliged by indisposition to be absent—but partly also because he ( Lord Aberdeen ) was not then present in his place to receive in person the objuragation Lord Brougham had in store for him . He denounced the Scotch Church Bill as an insult passed upon the English Chancellors for the purpose of giving self-importance to the Scotch Judges ; and after complaining passionately of Lord Aberdeen ' s absence , . gave notice tbat en Thursday he would again bring forw&rd the subject . Lord Haddington endeavoured to defend his absent colleague ; but succeeded only in drawing down upon him a fresh and more violent storm of vituperation .

      Lord Shaftesburt , from the Woolsack , at length interposed ; and after a few-words from Lord Campbell , who justified his Learned Friend's conduct , their Lordships adjourned , and so ended a scene which we believe to be almost without precedent , in the Upper House .
