(From The Papers Of Saturday, July 29ih....
( From the papers of Saturday , July 29 ih . ) At the Thames Police Office on Friday , James Eltnslie Duncan , a wild-looking young man , was nrougut before Mr Ballantine , by Ribert Gifford , 89 0 , charged with having in his possession a pistol , of which he could give no satisfactory account . Toe pri one * , when placed at the bar , was instatitl ? recognised as a person who takes a prominent part at all Chartist meetings , as the generally accred't ' d hureate of the Chartist body .
UrfTOBD sta ed , that in consequence of instructions which he had received fr . m his superintendent , Mr Medlicotf , between twelve ar . d one o ' clock that ( Friday ) morning , he traced the prisoner to Upper EiSt Srait _ fje ; d , On coming np with himjin Nightingale lane , Giff > rd seized him by the collar , and at t _ s 83 _ e time feh the pockets , of tie ecat , saying , What have you here ? ' To which the prisoner replied , Whatever I have is my own . ' lie hsd on a Glengarry cap at the time , with a broach stU' ; k in tbe front , from which two green streamers were pendant , and he had aknot of green ribb . nin
tbe breast of his coat . In bis hand he had % large bag , containing a great quantity of printed papers , which prored to ba Chartist poems , of which he p r . mdly avowed himself to bs the __ thof . When arrested , he asked G ffird , who was in plain clothes , what he was ? to which the latter replied , 'lama con-tabl 0 , ' and then tork from the prisoner ' s pocket a large s ! z ? d pocket pistol , ( produced . ) On being asked why he carried such a weapon , he replied , * I do it for my e * n protection , as I have marks upon my body of unprovoked violence , inflicted on mo by tha poliea . '
Mr B __ i . iJin . YE : The papers , yon say are in verse . I Ruopoge they _ re political ? Gifford : Yes , sir . Mr Ballistisb , concluding from the prisoner ' s appearance that he was a foreigner , asked whether tbe prisoner spoke English ? Giffoed : Yea , sir , he is an Englishman . Mr Bauaviinb ( looking over one of the papers ) : Yes . thesa are in English . One ef them is entitled « The Chartist Martyrs of Pilate Russell and Herod Grey by James Elmslie Demean , divinarian , ' and author of' Flowers and Fruits' ( laughter ) .
Inspector Harris , of the II division , who took the charge , Faid the prisoner on being questioned as to the possession of the pistol , replied that he carried it for his own protection , and considered that he was warranted ia bo doing . When asked what was the meaning of the green ribbons with which he wag decorated , he replied that they were emblems of nationality—that he was a Chartist and a Sympathiser , aod wished to show his sympathy with the Irishof whose rebellion news had lately arrived that dayand he hoped London would shortly ba in rebellion also . Mr Bal __ ktin _ : Well . Mr Dancan . what haye you to say to tbi * charge ? Tbe Prisoner , with tfre air of one who felt as if fce
was the observed of all observer ? , replied : What the constables state is correct with some little modifications , which , however , are to explain my position truly . I attended last night a meeting in John-street , cempoeed of Chartists , Socialists , and Repealers , Sympathisers , for the purpose of instructing and feeing instructed ; for I myself hold to the doctrine of nationality , which in my vocabulary means that f very nation has a right to govern itself . It was my intention to have recited a short unpublished poem to the me . tirg , but circumstances prevented me . I'll however , repeat it now . Here the « laureate' drew himself up to his full height , and with a most in . spired air begun , * There ' s a storm a brewing now , and' Mr Bailaktixe : You need not trouble yourself with the recitation ; confine yourself to the charce .
Pbisoser : We !! , then as to the pistol , I hold by the doctrine that every man has a right to carry arms for his personal protection against violence from » s = y q-i-rfcer . Mr Ball-stws : Then you are not a Socialist ? Phisoser : 1 am ; and a physical force Chartist too . The doctrine of socialism is not understood . On- * of its firit objects is self-proteition . Mr Ballantine : We shall not discuss those doctrines now ; but I cannot help expressing my regret at seeing a mind so accurate as yonrs appears to be on some points , thus miserably misled on others . Pkisoker : But you have cot heard nw . I wish to convince vou .
Mr Ballantise : You have convinced me of one thine , tha ' . it is my duty to hold you to bail to keep the peace ; you must find bail for your good behaviour for the next four months , and at the same time yoa mast prv « notice , so as that tbe securities may be f- und sufficient . The prisoner was accordingly locked up .

TO FEARGU 3 O'CONNOR , E 3 ^„ M . P . RESPEcr _ l > Sib , —As tbe improved system of ugrlcul . ture , propounded by you in your work on ' Small Farms . ' has been doubted almost as much as discussed , permit me , through the columns of your valuable paper , to offer to tho public an opportunity of proving to themselves a few Of tho Important facts advanced in that work , I ara in possession of a small plot of ground , measnr * inff thirty-two fills , part of which I bnvo laid est ia beds for wheat and potatoes , on the plan reeommended by you , and part I have retained iu the usual form practised la the locality . The measurement of the bods ij nine feet broad and twenty-firo long , into which space I dibbled two ounces of wheat , anJ have sown , in the ueual broadcast form , over the sams measurement , nix ounces of the same seed , Tho greatest contrast exists
baween the products of the two sjs ' . ems . The average number of stalks sprung from each dibbled plant-is eleven—the smallest number from oue grain of wheat is five , and tho (( rosiest number twenty-five , some twenty-two , eighteen fifteen , and so os . The head , or ear , generally measures six inches in length— . none bting shorter than five and a half . This appears to me to be tho result of dib *) iiug in the gruin , because I hud in the adjoining broadcast bed , containing three times the amount of seed , I hate not more than one-third the nuu . ber of stalks . Tho heads are much smaller , the largest being only four inches , and the average being undir four irches . Another peculiarity I observe iu favour of the dibble- wheat ts , thu it is much earlier , the heads are quite firm , while those of tbe broadcast are soft , and yldd to the pressure of tho fingers as easily _ a the o . her g roins did three weeks bjf \ ri ? .
I have planted whole potatoes alto thirty-two inches apart , every f'nu of which has a most healthy appearance , The stalks are spread round eaeh plant , covering as much space as an ordinary-sizad umbrella , covering the surface more completely than tho adjoinicg stalks of the cat plants , set in rows twenty-two iEc ' jes apart , and eighteen laches between encb plant . I trouble you with this statement at this time , because tho inhabitants of this district , who profess to disbelieve the agricultural superibtity of the method propounded by you , may , by Using their eyes , undeceive themselves—a thing impossible If I should withhold my report till the nbeat wus thrashed out , and tbe po atoes lifted . I remain , respected sir , Your obediant servant , Archibald Ritchie . Stenbonse Moor , near Fnikirk , July 22 th , 1848 .

I did not sea any wkeat ia my travels half so gODd as at LowbJndf , I made a careful examination of the wheat crops on a number of allotments , and I found from twenty , six to thirty stalks on an average from each grain , and I also found that the ears of wheat were nearly double the a z 9 of that sown broad . cast by the neighbouring farmers , which averaged irom five to Bl - each grain ; and tbe vegetable crops were equal to tbe i

THE ABERDEEN CHARTISTS AND THE NORTHERN STAR . ' Ma EniToa , —An editor !*! article in your paper , headed'A Lesson , ' appeared Jo ' y 15 th .

You begin your strictures by * taking the fairness of the report in the Herald fsr granted . ' Niw we think you begin your string of reasoning - by granting and talking too fast . 1 st . Because we never said to ifr Ernest Jones , nor did we write to him nor any member of tbe Cjsvention cr

We said , we had then enrolled nearly 690 persons , whose names the oecr . tary was transcribing from sheets into a book , in alphabetical order . We also told Mr Joaes , we had every hope of completing the enrolment of the required nnmber in a very si / ert p . riod , when application would , in the first instance , be made to the government for arms . We did observe , in several of the London Papers , a notice that our National Guard was C 100 strong , while we s . w in others only 600 , which was correct ; hence ws judged tbe error was typographical , and a matter unworthy of notice . What Mr
Henry might have said to the men of London they , them * selves , do not inform us ; but be bad our positive , inetmotloas to tell them we were ready and williE ^—gs we are still—to assist them to improve the condition of tbe working classes of onr country , and of Ireland . We do aot Relieve that the men of London , themen generally of England , nor the brave people of Ireland , can believe that out 0 ( 16 , 565 Chartists in Aberdeen , who subscribed the last National Petition , oaly one man could be found who had tbe command of a gun , Mr Henry did not need to vest us upon that matter , and we will not answer the quest ' on . Now , sir , in no particular did we mislead Mr Jones ; he saw with h ' s own eyes the enthusiastic spirit of onr people , which did not subside until tbe well-meant exertions of tbe Asiembly were laid prostrate
by the grand juggle which was planned in damnable darkness to overthrow tho unity of the people ; but we have a good guess who it was that handled the cups and balls so dexterously . It is complained of Mr Henry of having made a furious attack on Mr O'Cnnnor , and it 8 'cms others are chargeable with tbe like cffa ~ ce . We deny he did to . He was lenient in the extreme with Mr O'Connor ' s letters to the people about the Assembl y . These publicdocamtnis were in onr binds , and Mr Henry did not dwell upon the topics , which ho knew we had often discussed before tbe people in as largo meetings as he then addressed . B . sides t _ is , Mr Henry knew that , previous to his crrivnl in town , Mr Shirron , oar other delegate , bad given every explanation , and told us bow much Mr O'Connor bad dona for tbe
Convention , and in particular for the A ? aembly . So if attack even seemsd necessary it was not when Mr Henry deli , vered his report , the airoogeat expresiioa of which you shall have the benefit of— ' That Mr O Connor , Inputting down the Assembly , did for tho government what tho government could cot have done for ItseK . ' If Mr Hrnry was in error , be it so ; but in absence of all proof that he was , tbe meeting received his repsrt , on _ re . corded a nnanlmone vote of thanks to him for hU COn . duct in the Assembly . « Honesty ( you Bny ) JB the best policy . ' We beg to ask , in return , is ther . truth or honesty in the assertion that « many furious attacks have lately bsen made upon Mr O' Connor , for no other reason than that he endeavoured to keep good and valuable men , like Mr J iier , from tumbling into plt . falis dug by fools and knaves ! ' We do not believe jou will be able
to find a Chartist in Great Britain , wbo will find fault with Mr O'Connor for snch conduct , end if tho paragraph is mtant to apply to the upper or middle classes who are notTCaartists , it has no right la point of sense . Now sir , we do grant the trutk of tho moraL-hone ' sty cer tainly is tbe best policy ; and this noble maxim teaches us not to trust to men who fulfil few of their promises . Look around , sir , and you will catch m ? n nearer home In as much want of correstion , as Mr Henry , who has left here for Edinburgh , where be inteode to reside , and where , we trust , he will devoto his sparo tima an _ talents in behalf of a class which he has laboured for six years to eltvato .

THE CHARTIST TRIALS . YORK ASSIZES . CHARGE OF UITERIKO A SKMTI 0 US SPEECH ON T 0 TFSHAW MOOR . The Queen v . Tomwnson— Mr Knowles ^ Q . c , and Mr Overcnd were for tbe prosecution : Mr J . Pollock conducted the defence . Mr Ovkrknd stated the charge , ine defendant was indicted , fir-., for uttering a seditious epe * h ; secondly , for uttering : a seditious libel ; and thirdly , tor being pvf sent at a tumultuous meeting .
Mr Knowlks stated ( he case . The defendant was Charged ivith uttering seditious language , at a meetinn which had been held on Monday , tho 12 th of June , at Toftshatv moor , near Bradford . v , hioh meetin" was attended by between 7 000 and 8 , 000 peraonp . The object of that meeting wa * professedly political , and tbe defendant wa . one of the speakers . Tho people who attended it marched in military step , wilh banners flying , accompanied with bands of music . On those banners there wore inscribed these words' It ia better to die by the sword than parish with hunper !* On other— ' The Charter with peace , or a republic ! ' Tbe meeting ; was composed of peraons __ own by tbe name of Coartists , because the motto evidently referred to that class of people . In the
course © f the proceeding the defendant addressed the multitude , and said— 'It has been said that God pronounced a curse on man ; that was , thftt man phauld eat his bread by the aweat of his brow , ' but if God pronounced a curse on man , man has pronounced a greater curse on hisfellow-man , for he has said , ' thou abalt not eat bread , bufcahalt pine . ' Place yourflolves in such a position , then , —ia a position that will enable you to overthrow , for ever , the despotic go vernment that now tyrannises , ever you—the most bane , brutal , bloody , plundering , liberty-slaying , middle class government with whieh a nation was ever cursed . Did I say base ? Yes ! For its baseneea is exhibited in the language of its members . Bloody ? Yes ! For the blood of . milKoasol persons
can be traced to tbe door of the English senate house , which is crying out for vengeance—eternal vengeance on the murderous systems Then I ask you , Englishmen , when thousands are dyinf »—hurried into prematuro graves—when tnousands are starving for foodparents , brothers , and sisters—when hundreds of the middle clasa are triads bankrupts , and hundreds more on the verge of bankruptcy—and though thousands are crying out ( or remedial measures , ero they perish —yet the government turns a deaf ear to the cry of our starving people , and send them to gaol . 1 . * . sk you who have toi toil and eweat , how long shall this last—how Jong support a host ; of soulless , heartless aristocracy , who fatten on your blood ? I ask , how lone shall this last ? Are you determined to destroy
tho vicious institutions that now exist V Here , said tbe learned counsel , the defendant points clearly to the institutions under which we live , and if there be any meaning in plain language , there can be no doubt of the guik of tho defendant as to that whieh ttfl attribute to him . He goes on , — 'If you are prepared for tho worst , let the British lion growl first , as he does at this moment ; and if our base rulers will not take heed , let the British lion put his paw on those that prov . » ke us to desperation , and hurl them from power . ' W hat was the meating of this ? The meaning of it was plain , and coming as it did at a moment when events in neighbou-ing countries were fresh in the recollection of every one , what did it generally paint to but some lawless measure of violence , to get
rid of the government against which the whole speech was directed . ' Let ns hurl from power , ' says the defendant , ' the supporters of existing establishments , and let ua be prepare d to erect in their sfead institutions which will confer peace and prosperity on every member ol this vast commercial empire . Let them grant equal political privileges tf \« 'Very member of tbe community . You may wait for tbe middle classes doing this , butifyou are waiting in expectation of that , your prospects will be blighted . You may wait until Doomsday in the afternoon , and be no nearer than you are now , II you are determined to be free , then , instantly organise yourselves , and if you do so , you may hope to succeed . Let the three words , ' Agitate ,
agitate , agitate , ' be changed to the words ' Prepare , prepare , prepare . " Gentlemen , said the learned counsel , these are the words which form the subject of this indictment , and I feel that it would be tritlim with common sense , if I were to labour farther to show that the meaning of this speech is other than that which we attribute to it . Political discussion in this country is free , and I am _ ot here to limit it farther than the rules of decency and the safety of the institutions under which we live require . I have placed the case before you , and applying to it common sense and common language , I say ycu cm have no doubt that the words uttered constitute a seditious libel , and if so you will find the defendant guilty .
Air IIenrt H-ht _ b Thompson , sborthaod-wri ( er , proved the speech , which he read from his notes . Cross-examined . —I know this man by sight . I did not « bsc _ ve any extract frt-m a newspaper in hie hand , lie hada » mall memorandum book in his hand , & ud I observed that he referred to that occasionally , hut saw no newspaper . There had been considerable distress in the neighbourhood befoic this time , —Bradord particularly . I believe thai distress had also extended itself to Leeds and' Halifax , but iu a lees degree . The meeting was conducted in tbe usual way of Chartist meetings . I saw no breach of the pf ace . The chairman made a speech , and I tck that down . The authorities at Bradford applied to me to furnish this speech . I also furnished the chairman ' s speech , and Bc « me others . .
Re-examined . — There was great excitement in Bradford and other towns of the West Riding at the time . This was the case for the prosecution . Mr Pollock made an energetic speech for the defence . He asked tho jury whether hundreds of speeches had not been made just as foolish and as rash as the one whicia had just been read , and against which the attention of the government bad not been directed ?—The British Lion—tbe jury saw him there ( pointing to the prisoner , a latbor delicate looking young min ) ,-. the British Lion , it was said , had been growling lor a long time , and this last growl ofhis had been thought enough , to awake the attention of the government , and Uad brought before the jury his learned friend , Mr Knowlea . As to the in . scriptions on tho banners which had besn read , there was nothing about them , he argued , which the advo
cates for the public safely nted be much alarnud about ; and were acsrcely to be treated seriously With reference . to the speech , he submitted that tbe language employed in it was not stronger than had been used by tbe advocates of Frte trade—that it w « b directed against the men in power and not against the constitution of the country , and that it would be harsh to canvass too strictly tbe words of men whose wives and children were starving for want of tread , when the same language had been adopted on o-her occasions by members of tho Senate House . Ifcwat unreasonable to suppose that when men of tho pri . soaer ' s class in life were suffering in the way ha had mentioned , they would attack in a milk-and water way the grievances which they believed had brought them to that aitustion . He contended , generally , that the Speech meant nothing—that there was nothing seditious about it , and that , therefore , his client was entitled to an acquittal .
Mr Justice Ckbsswbll then proceeded to sum up . He COHil _ enoed by commenting upon tbe remarks made by the prisoner ' s counsel as to the stronger language having been used by other persons than that employed by the prisoner , with impunity , observing that that was a matter with which the jury had nothing to do further than to know this , that the offence of one man could not be treated as the excuse for another . His lordship went on to speak ot the speech and of the circumstances under which it was uttered , telling tha jury that thequEStiun for th ? ir consideration was wnether the prisoner intended t » excite disaffection towards the government of tbe country . The language of this speech , he eaH , mi ^ ht be absurd to the ears ol educated persons , who would probably only have laughed at the speaker , and shamed him out of making such a foolish
exhibition in future , But when the jury saw that this language was addressed to some thousands of uneducated people , who , starving from w » nt , were taught to believe that their euff . ting was to be charged on the government of the country , under such circumstances let them ask themselves whether such Ian guage was not calculated to bring upon that government a great amount of hatred and disaffection His lordship went through the speech , fce & tence by sen tence , and the genml purport of his rema-ks amounted to this , that it was addressed , nut v 8 against any odious and obnoxious Minister of thu Grown or representative of the people , but " as callinc upon those to whom it was addressed to plaea them selves in a position to enable them to overthrow for ever the despotic government thu then was said to tyrannise over them . u "
Thejury retired at ten minutes to seven to consi . Jtr their verdiet . Mr P . u- ; ck then aeked hi 0 lordsh-p , with a tiew

In about twenty minutes the jury returned into oiurt , with a verdict of Guilty . Tbo defendant was ordered to stand down , and the court then rose .
HIOT at binglet . John Kilvington , Isaac Ickerin ^ iil , James Crabtreo . and Jw _ cs Bland , were charged with riotously assembling and assaulting police constables , also with riot and rescuing prisoners from the custody of constables ; snd James Bland was further indicted for Chat he , being a special constable , di J not suppress or endeavour to suppress the riot , and did not prevent or endeavr . ur to prevent the rescue . Mr Knowlee / Ilon . Mr Phipps , and Mr Pashley conducted tho prosecution : the prisoners were de . tended by Mr Sergeant Wilkins and Mr Joseph P . IIock .
At appeared that information had been laid against the prisoner John Kilvington , and a man ot tho name of Smith , for illegal drilling , they having marched through Bingley at the head of two bodies of msn consisting of cue" hundred each , having fl « s and banners nnd bands , and receiving the word of command . Accordingly Mr Busfield Ferrand , the magistrate before whom th < j information was laid , issued his warrants for the apprehension of Smith snd J _ ilviDgton , and oa the 2 G ; h of May last tboy , having been apprehended , were brought before Mr Ferrand , nt tiie magistrates' room , which is at an inn called the Brown Cow , situated on the opposite side of tho bridge which leads into Bingley from the town . Mr Ferrand ( after tbe depositions which had
baen previously taken had b 6 en read over to tho prisoners ) commifted tiiera to York Castle , and t * ey were given into tho custody of John Carruthors and six other constables , for the purpose of being conveyed to the railway station . They left the macis trates' room and proceeded across the bridge . When thay reached Fold-yard top they were stopped by a mob with whom were Bland and a man named Whitefleld , who caid , 'Tbey shall not go to prison ; we will die first . ' They then went on a little further to Tod-lane t > p , where more persons came up , and the oonelables were compelled to taka their prisoners back to the jnelice-rootn . The mob burst open the door and rushed ia—a tumult succeeded—lckevingiil addressed tbe magistrate in violent
language—Crabtree pushed and struck the constable , who was endeavouring to protect tho magistrate—Bland was insolent to him , and encouraged , or rather did not _ ucourage , the others . Mr Ferrand implored the prisoners not to avail themselves of tha attempt at rescue , and warned Bland of the consequences of his not aisisting the authorities . It had been ag « 6 d that bail should be taken at York if the pruoneva could procure proper persons . The crowd , however , left tbe room , csrrj ing the prisoners off with themtheir handcuffs were struck off . In a few days the prisoners were captured and sent to York . Evidence for the prosecution was given by Mr B . Ferrand , William Burt ( his clerk ) , Varley , Green , and Carruthors ( police ) , and Cnwgill , a special constable .
Mr Sergeant Wilkins addressed an able speech to thejury on behalf of the prisoners It seemed to him there was not a tittle of evidence against any one of these men to justify the charge . It was perfectly true if men congregated together for an Me ^ sl purpose , and they were satisfied that two or three of them were concerned , thee , with certain limits and qualifications , the rest might be responsive . _ But he would proceed to inquire whether anything in the present case justified any such presumption . He believed that no one would think so excepting tint over zealous but indiscreet gentleman Mr Busfield Ferrand , and ho . wou'd show before he sat down he had not made that assertion unadvisedly . The learned sergeant then , in biannual style , went through tha various circumstances of tbe case , and in no measured ter ^ -Btjave Mr Ferrand credit for all those tilings which had taken place , and attributed them to his absurdities . He asked in conclusion where
was the rescue ? It was effected without any concert from these men . Where was tbe assault ? It was by an unknown hand . Where was Bland ' s misconduct ? ft was not shown . Where was tbe conspiracy ? It yet remained to bo seen that anything of tha kind ever existed . He implored them as the best safefiuard of rte nation to see that they did not unjust ' y oppress the poor by their verdict on this occasion . After several witnesses , to character , had been called , the learned judge summel up , when the jury retired , and after an absence of forty minutes , tbey returned the following verdict ;—Bland Guilty of neglect ci duty ; lckerin ? ill Guilty of riot and rescue ; Crabtrea Guilty of the rescue ; and Kilvington Guil . y of rcacuinc hisaself . Sentence deferred .

It is likewise considered a plan for putting down tho paper , - » Messrs Wnlkr and Rinkon are the acting men in the pabli » hinfr of the paper , [ This letter only reached us on Friday morning July 28 th—too lata tor its insertion to bo of any service to the Neata British Exrn _ s ? . ] ( From the Times . ) EniNBOnon , Wednesday Evening—For some time past the Onanists and Repealers in Edinburgh—in imitation of the example set by tha disaffected in other qimters of the country—have baen organising themselves into clubs for the purpose of proourinj
ariDB , / Ureidy , we understand , hsvo twelve clubs been formed , oomo of the members of which burg obtained arms , and the others aro in progress of receiving them . The authorities have all a !_ ng btea cognisant of what was going ou , and knew ali tbe more active participatf-rain ' the movement , the focus of which is in that part of the old town well kno * n as the Cow . gate , where most ot the Irish reside . Ws learn that it is the practice of thecluba to meet in this locality almost nightly , and the house of a Certain broker has been pointed out as the head quarters of the sedition-mongers . As an instance of t he perfect state of the organisation , we may mention that on Monday evening last a public meeting : wss held on the Caltcn-hill , which was attended by
several thousands of Repealers and Chartists , who had been avimmoned together by tbe secret agency of tha clubs in the course of a couple of hours . Tbe speeches on that occasion were of tbe moat violent description , This latter circumstance , and the threatening aspect of affairs in Ireland , baa at length led the authoritiesto interposefortbepurposeof frustrating tbe plans of theclubbists , white aim i ? , in the event of a rising in the sister kingdom , to create such a sta'a of excitement here , there , and everywhere throughout the country as shall prevent the government from withdrawing any of the troops at present ia England or Scotland , and concentrating suoh a forca in Ireland as w & uld enable them speedily and successfully to suppress all attomots at rebellion . It
was accordingly resolved , in the course of the day , to apprehend some of the mt re violent of the leadcra amons tho Chartists and Repealers . For this purpose Mr Moxey , of the Edinburgh City Police , and Mr List , of tho Edinburgh County Police , attended by a number of sheriffs' officers , proceeded : r > the houses of tbe parties In question , and , before the eveninng , bad appreh- _ dtd six in all , two of whom were shortly afterwards discharged , aa not being sufficiently culpable to justify their detention . A third was subsequently let out on bail ; but tbe remaining three , after being recognised and examined , were lodged in the Gallon Gaol . Their apprehension was gone about eo quietly as to cte & te no excitement whatever ; and when they were
removed , about eight o ' clock , from tbe Sheriffs' Chambers , in the County-buildings of the Gallon Gao ) , a small cowd collected , who made no manifestation of feeling whatever . The names of the three individuals apprehended are , GumEiing , Rankin , and Waiker . The tw ^ first were the delegates for Edinburgh in the late Chartist Convention , and hava taken a leading part in all the political agitation which has prevailed in this city for the last four or five months . Curaraing is a man advanced in life , a bootmaker by trade . Although not po-eessed of any great talents , he has from first to last been recognised as a leader nraong ihe Chartists . Rankin is a young roan , an upholsterer by trade , and a tolerable
public speaker . Walker is the printer cf the North British Express , which is a very violent paper , and the only Chartist organ for Scotland . We learn that the charge against them ia a very general one , having reference to their attending and making violent speeches at several public meetings in Edinburg h * and to their having fajen members of certain illegal clubs whose object is to overthrow the government of the country . All the latters and documents found ia their houses have been seiz ; d ; so also have all the booh and papers in the Nohth . British Exprkss office . It ia probable , therefore , that this paper , tho publishing day of which is Saturday , will in future be suspended .
We learn that warrants are out for two or threa merr ) of the leaders . On Monday night John Graut , while on his wvy to the meeting upon tbe hill , was taken into custody . We beltev-j the charges agaisst him are similar to those made against Rankine and Walker . —Edinburgh Advertiser . L-GAL nonBKRY —SACKING THE PUBLISHING OFFICE CP THU ' NuKTU BBITISH hXPUKSS . '
( From the North British Express . ) Not content with the apprehension of the leader » in the cause the authorities , it wouid seem , expected a nest of treason hatching in oar publishing offica . They were mistaken , and although all our books and papers , from the led . er down to the addresses fcr country parcels , were seized , nothine could b _ found , that any charge of any kind could be founded upon .

It was . however , at , once broken open by the officers . Biirrell and his sous showed fight , but were very scon , overpowered .
