Now , mvI ^ Htt , I eome to the contrast In l 8 iO , I am in a felon ' * daageon for being proprietor of a paper i » which jtott Attorney-General told a Jury of men , irb ^ fatten Hporiyror system , that I had published a libel calculated j ^> csoae a Revolt of the -working classes hom&eir aHegtanoe . Then twelve ignorant wretches , wbo always mistake loyalty for interest , said it teas written and pabtiabed with that " intent , " the fact Tjeiog that Jhad rarer seen the libel in question ., audit TMtheactof oUwn . notmtQB : So much for tie fiction at law . the impartialitar of your tool and the wisdom of
the Jurors . I am here for tola offence ; bo Oat it appears there is no great difficulty in getting con-fictions which may be followed by long imprisonment ; that fact alone should hare protected me against jour prohibition of using the press as I pleased . In 1797 , when confined in a dungeon nine feet square , for high treason , my father , with eighty-mW prisoners , were allowed tbe privilege , which in 1840 , the Whigs deny to men eonriefcedof the raj slightest political offence , Hey were allowed the use of the press , even in the days of CasUereagh . Hear t&e proof , my Lord . My father writes thus from bit dungeon : —
" To His Ezctliauy Earl Camdcn , ( he was Lord Mr Los . it , —I trnst jou . wO 3 acknowledge , that I bare not dealt uafairiy -irrQi you—that I bare not taken yon by surprise . It is now nearly three months since I wrote to you , respecting the treatment I had experienced . Your answer has at length arrived \ a long fiaa to form an opinion on a Tery plain question . Let ae assure you , that I consider the violence offered to myself as nothing compared to the injury the com-Bunity sustain * by the violation of the law in my perns . I feel the publk interest so deeply and materially concern me , that I think myself in duty bound to my wmtrv , and to the friends of freedom throughout the ¦ npire , to address you Oirtmah the medium of the public
My Lord , we learn from the above extract , tiat in fiie days of Castlefeagti , the letter of a prisoner charged with high treason , was considered worthy of ia answer by the Lord lieutenant of the day . We also least that the use of the press -was allowed in those fejl , even to prisoners charged with kigb . treason . My Iiord , the next letter which I find from my father to Earl Caxnden , commences thus : — " My Lord , I am apt to think you would be full Sfwefl mttifled , if 1 di * amUwu > d my cormpxmdexce rift ion . An ardent love for my country forbids it I bold the man guilty is tb * jmt degree , wh * from a Basked battery , avails his fellew citiien ' s freedom-, in fits seecmd , the open , bald , avowed invader of their Jastrights ; and in the iMrd , the silent , passive enteer of aoeh wrongs . "
My Lad , I give the above extract to show that although the correspondence was unpalatable to the Lord lieutenant , yet never did the prisoaer contemplate BoehaihiBg as being denied the useof the press . ; Bather indeed was he . Xy Lord , I give you another extract , from which you may learn the tone and temper of those letters ; fod in number , written in the days of "frv ? tnringfl and KaeaHoaiditauJrtMiwwui , by » prtBtoexohaxg&d with high treason , to the representative of the Monarch ttroogh the twbtie prints . ¦

My Lord , this , though early in the Irish war against tfigafflfaical oppresBion , was the second time which my father had been imprisoned , tat what was called high kssaoB , and now hear Via crime . He says : — f At Kinsate I remained tin the commencement of

So fully had I bvqMgated the charges alleged against these man , of tae futility of which 1 was so confident , and so clearly did I see through tbe design of the conspirators , that I w ^ etermined to iring the whole transaction to light , ey giving every aid which my labour , purse , or talent ; « wW bestow , in a fair , open , and , I trust , honourable ,

come so putad that the bone couli be seen , even the bloody CasUereagh ordered that he should be brought out of hiacell , upon a " hand-barrow , " to take the fresh air everyday . Mighty condescension 1 you will say . Aye , my Lord , as compared to the time the change and the character of Lord Castlereagh , greater than I have experienced . Hi . confinement i «« extended to next year , and next , and next , and next ; and finally he was compelled , after demanding trial , to abide ( after having been subsequently imprisoned in Port Cteowe in the worm of Scotland , for a jeat and i * vto . paths , fora jwriod of Beven years , wherever his Majesty in council should appoint , that is , wherever Lord Castlereagh should appoint , for the King was a good-natured , hMTnl&gB , poorfooL
My Lord , while my father was In that situation in hj dungeon , one of the mntes , whose hands were yet crimsoned with the blood of the glorious Lord Edward Fibgerald ( my father ' s friend ) , waited upon him by order of Lord Castlereagh , to communicate Lord Edward ' s fate ; and to endeavour to extort a confession of guilt . 1 need not tell you that the eye , beaming beneath the hairless head , and through the patdd forehead , silenced the mute , and drove him from the prisoner ' s Presence . My Lord , I mention this to make use of it by and bye .
My Lord , I have now shown , firstly , that in the days of unparalleled and unmitigated barbarity , the then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , under the controul of Lord CMtiereaga , preferred being exposed through the press , to violating a priwnert right to its columns . I prove that traitors , as they were called , were allowed more privilege in the height of the Irish national war against oligarchical usurpation , than I have been allowed in the eighth year of a Reformed Parliament , by some of the very men who fostered , encouraged , and fattened upon , the Irish Revolution .
My Lord , 1 now come to the stipulations entered into-between Lord Chancellor Clare in person , Mr . Cooke , the Irish Secretary , and Lord Castlereagh , with Arthur O'Connor , my uncle , and eighty-nine ether state prisoners , whereby lord Clare admitted the right of > ublk * iion ; and fop availing himself of which , Arthur O'Connor was subsequently put in irons ^ in consequence of a letter which now lieB before me , and which he addressed to Lord Castlereagh . By all
this correspondence , which consisted of many pages , the last letter alone covering forty-five of quarto print ' I shall fully prove that Lord Castiersagh waa more just arid humane than you have been ; and alse that the means adopted , in 1798 , to break up the patriotic party , were precisely the same means , with less of cunning and more of boldness than the reformed Whigs have used for the same purpose in the year 1840 , and the eighth year of Reform .
My Lord , I must here add , that the Irish traitors , as they were called , were allowed to see their friends and acquaintances , and that Curran , the celebrated Curran . and Mr . M' >' aily , an Irish banister , spent a great portion of each e-rening in their prison tryiag the prisoaers , after impanelling a » T » m jury for the purpose . This , my Lord , while I was denied an interview with my solicitor , although indicted for another political ofienoe .
My Lord , I have the honour to remain your prisoner , Feaegus O'Connor

D . H . Harsisow thinks Publishers and Editors qfa Provincial and Radical Press should , to every subscriber , send Monthly , or ofientr , a Political Tract , or Troett , for the sum qf one penny ; " these tracts to be printed on the cheapest paper , as the quality of the paper would not be considered so tmch mrthe matter emtebud .- Wffcar - **« Publishers and Editors would find U . much lasier to send the Tracts than to get the pennies We have not room for his Address to Electors and Non-Eltcters .

S .

He will at once become a subscriber to the
necessary fund , and is ready to advance a quarter ' s subscriptions , and he knows several others who trill m + ke an effort to the same effect . Johk Hvhteb , of Jhindee , proposes that on the \ 2 th of August , the Chartist shall keep ' holj-day . — " " That the 12 thi of August ensuing be made a holiday , not a day qf idleness , but a day of PtHTIOKISG THK THBONB OP TH * KING OP KINGS , that the land may be delivered from the power of tyranny ; this can be done by every Chartist famil y apart , -who fears God ; and let me suggest thai , in the evtning of the same day , every
every Chartist association in the land meet , and having selected men of approved piety , deliver ditcourset , and offer up prayers in beha' f of themselves and our suffering countrymen ; and at such meetings make collections for ifte bereaved families of such as are imprisoned for tbe sake ef liberty , and , as an encowagtment for the step I have suggested , let me remind my brethren , that the Majesty qf Heaven will not reject the cry of the tvffering poor , as the majesty of Victoria of Britain has often done with contempt ; and let me suggeit further , that a weekly
or monthly meeting for the above purposes be held by every association which has within itself individuals qualified for conducting such exercises ; by such proceedings , in my humble opinion , our , cause , which is undeniably the cause of justice and mercy , would soon assume a mart commanding cupeet , nay teould \ in a short time , dismember corrupt ^ , and crown itself wift a glorious and peaceful victory " Waiikb Masoh object * to Mr . O'Connor ' s plan of a daily paper . He thinks working men would
neither find money to buy it , nor time to read it ; and he thinks that if the middle and higher classes caswt be mdmced to read the Northern Star at ah expense ef fourpence halfpenny weekly , they will ' not be likely customers for the Morning Star at two and sixpence weekly . He thinks the rate at which Mr . O'Connor fixes the salaries qf Lecturers and Delegates much too high , and he thinks the proposed eight weeks session much too short . Altogether he greatly " prefers the old waggon , " the Star , to Mr . O'Connor ' s projected locomotive engine , the daily

To Scbscribkbs and Agbnts . —Many subscribers have written us complaining of the non-receipt qf many of the Portraits within a reasonable time after they are announced to be given . This delay arises from several causes : sometimes the place where the Agent resides is so far distant , and so difficult to reach by parcel , that we cannot get to them without great expense , and therefore wait either for an opportunity of sending free , or till the Portraits accumulate so as „„ , „ , „ , T ^ r'fT" ^ ^ delegations the men
in some measure to cover the expense . In other cases it arises from the fact of the Agent being in arrears with his payments , and we do not send them Portraits until some arrangement is made respecting such arrears . In several cases it has happened where Occasion has been given us U press for immediate paymen t , that we have been answered with " 01 have done all I could to

The Baid assistant Overseer pleaded the difficulty of getting money during the present distressed times . for any purpose whatever ; and the Council , after many motions made and withdrawn , came to the following resolution on the subject : — «* That warrants of distress be forthwith issued and levied on the Overseen of the < respective townships , or other persons appointed to act aa 6 uch _ , who have neglected to pay the borough and watch rates due from them , unless the Mayor , upon sufficient cause shown to him , shall admit of delay . " —The Mayor having resumed , au < i it having also
been discovered that the Overseers of the other townships who were in arrears had not been heard before the passing of suoh resolution , according to the original motion of his Worship , it was decided that Mr . Ellis , overseer of Arinley , should be called in . He was called in accordingly ; but when he did come in it was discovered that he was no overseer at alL He had acted as overseer in 1838 , and a rate of £ 202 was due for that year , for which the Overseers were responsible ; but as it appeared that he was not legally appointed he was dismissed and Mr . Walker , who was really one of the overseers for that year , was called in , and Btated that all monies were paid over to his successor ^ . His successors were then called in , who said they had received a certain sum
from Mr , Walker , but it was not sufficient to pay the delta of the parish , exclusive of the borough rate .

resolution , which . was carried , that the treasurer should furnish an account of the estimate made for the prosecution of the suit , and account of the sums already laird for it ; to be read atr the next meeting f the ( Jouncil . —Mr . parkland then inquired why the tfcree ^ Leeds policemen , who were ordered by the Mayor , on t he 17 th Juue , to return immediately from the North Midland Railroad , were still stationed there on the 27 th June . —The Mayor said they were not on the North Midland , but on the Yori and North Midland ; he had sent to withdraw them ; | but on the representation of the authorities there , that their presence was necessary to quell disturbances , he had allowed them to remain till the
1 st July ; and he had obtained a resolution from the Watch Committee approving of his conduct . —Atr . Markland protested against the police being drawn away from the borough . If they were not necessary here , let them be discharged . Why should tho township of Leeds find a constabulary force for the county of York I The magistrates , where the disturbances took place , should have sworn in special constables ; and if that would not do , should have called in the military . After a few words from Mr . Alderman Hubbard , the Bubjeot dropped — Mr . Hamer Stansfeld then rose , but he had scarcely opened his mouth when Mr . Griffith Wright asked / very eagerly whether the mottoa / was seconded . It waa
represented to him that before a motion was seconded it was necessary that it should be made , npon which M ^ Hamer Stansfeld proceeded , and in a long and tedious harangue complained of the reflections cast upon him in that Council for having , notwithstanding the declaration made by him as a magistrate , supported , at a public meeting , petitions in favour of » separation in Church and State . He concluded iy moving That ia ( he opyuoaoi . the Council the members thereof , have not , by makirig ^ e deolarafiftn ' « f 9 j ; hGeo , IV ; , required oa " aocepiing office , forfelted , as individuals toy . right ol peStioo whioh they previously . possessed . "—Mr . Bower having seconded the motion , Mr . Alderman Habfcaxjl supported it , and having , in the course ofTug speech , accused tbe Tories of attacking Mr . Stausfold behind bis back , another row ensued ; at the end of ¦ vhioh Dr . Hunter made a speech , in the course of
which he read a memorial which he and a hundred other " respectable" gentlemen had sent to Lord Normanby calling tbe . Noble . Marquis ' s attention to Mr . Stansfeld ' s jcpnduct ; and my Lord Normanby ' s reply , dated ten days jtfierwards , politely informiag the memorialists that he shouldn't take any steps in the matter . The worthy Doctor also criticised the speech delivered by Mr . Stanafeld ait the meeting where the petition was adopted . Mr . S . on tnat occasion , had said that he held a higher commission than his magisterial one—a commission from' above . Now thi& really appeared to him ( Dr . Hunter ) something like blabphemy ; at all events he knew nothing of any commission they had from
aboYe except that mentioned in Genesis , viz . " to be fruitful , and multiply , and replenish the earth . " The doctor was also very hard upon the Whigs ; who , he said , and the majority of strangers present appeared to agree with him , were tyrantB jn < office , and sycophants , out . 0 $ \ t . He concluded his address by an amendment , to the effeofc that the conduct of Mr . Stansfeld was a direct violation of the declaration made by him on acoepting the commission . Mr . Markland seconded the amendment . Mr . Cliffe , in an able speech , defended Mr . Stansfeld ' fl condact , whieh was attacked by Mr . Potts who said that if Mr . Stansfeld had gone a point further—no , one or two points further—he would
have been as bad as Frost , Williams , ana Jones . Mr , Howard followed 1 on the same side , and was interrupted two or three , times . by Mr . Joshua Bower , who said he was astonished that an old Methodist , as Mr . Howard was , should Bay such things as he did . Messrs . Councillor Chwleewbrtl / and Alderman Goodman succeeded ; and the latter threw back on the Tories the charge of tyranny and sycophancy which Dr . Hunter hid brought aauhst th * Whigt . Mr . Hay ward said Mrf sSeW had wofulk committed himself by attending the meeting . . The Church would not be separated from the State-without ia revolution ; and true
Enalisiimen wouia never oe separated irom the "halter " to which they were endeared ' without the shedding of ! blood . His worship next addressed the . Ctfuncu in explanation of his conduct , and Mr . Stansfeld replied . On a division , treaty-two Tories voted for the amendment , end twenty-two W&fea r ainst u ¦'• and hji worship having given Ets oaating vote in its favoar , the amendment waf carrfctf , The Cpunctt had now been sitting nearl y > veV . ndurs , ' il »^ m areat was their hurry to get hdme " to dinner !^ tbit they broke up without the original motion having been put , so that Mr .
