AMERICAN _AWAIitS . "YOUNG AMERICA AND PRESIDENT POLK . ( From the "New York _Joun _^ America . ) The President , after the u « aal fiourishabout" noiionil prosperity" and so forth , which , as _usnal , will _n _ . i bear < * _wtic ! _sai , commences by informing US that tllC union With Texas Las been consummated , all but the formal ratification l » y Congress , la spite of the _nvtclrinitloas of Franco aad England to prevent that result . Since Mr . Polk was elected to perform this work there can be no fault found with the manner of its execution . There are had provisions in the Texas Constitution on lhe subject of _ _Se _«; n > Slavery , and there are good ones on the Laad anU other subjects . "Whether good or evil to the cause of human proj _ ress will be the predominant result of the admission of Texas to the Union is _siroblcniatieal .
Mexico has concluded to make a virtue of _necessity and submit to the annexation with as good a _jr-ice as possible . She is indebted to ns for certain ** outrages npon thc nersons and property of our citizens . " and Mr . Polk , is donning ber very hard for payment . , , _ . * _ . v .. Iu _resuad to Oregon , the President stater * that Great Britain reketcd the _oifer of a compromise by a division on the " mueh talked ol -iSth parallel , thus di _, _< aimo ! ntin _ r , on the one hand , _tuosc who clamoured for " the whole of _Orepoa or none , and , on tbe other those who anticipated tuat the _President ' s rashness would involve as in war . He _recom-aends that the year a notice required by the trcatv of 137 , ofa desire to terminate thc joint occupancv , shall be given by the United States ; that in the laeaniuac jurisdiction be extended over our citizens in Oregon ; that stockades aad b ' ock-housc forts be erected on tlie road to Oregon : that a regi
ment of mounted riflemen bs raised to protect emigrants on their journey ; and that an overland monthly mail to Oregon be established . He also proposes "liberal _craiiits of laud to the patriotic pioneers" to Oregon . This is nonsense . Tl _* . e pioneers to _Oresoa went there to get land to use or to speculate npon .. It they went to get laud to use , it is a sad reflection on the wisdom ot oar government that they coald not get it nearer : if they went fer speculation , tliey will be surprised to _finti themselves cracked up as patriots . Itis understood that they have oranted to themselves a section of land apiece , and if they eome under this government would it not be well , while it can easily be done , to restrict tue quantity of land that may be lield by an individual , and to lay out village lots so that me chanics and others may be provided with homesteads as weU aa fanners .
The President is a little windy on the subject of "European interference" with the afiairs of this continent . Wehave it already , in the worst form that it coald possibly eome- We have the accursed European _system of land monopoly , which renders _isilliocs of onr citizens homeless oa their own soil ; aud the statesmen who should _igeS us into a war about a phantom , before the European system of land monopoly is banished and every citizen a freeholder , wonld deserve the execration of tlis landless to all eternity .
Tie receipts and expenditures for tne late fiscal year were each over twenty-nine millions of dollars _, bver eight millions of the expenditures w « re for public debt , andtwecty-oue millions for ordinary and extraordinary expenses ; at least double what it ought to have Ken . Of the receipts , a little over two millions wire tor public lands . For this paltry income of ten cents a head ali the evils of land speculation are _inSiekd on our frontier settlers , crime and _puupcrism _^ are multiplied ia oar cities , and the horrors of land monopoly are stored up for our posterity ] We have about ten millions of debt , whieh the President very properly means io pay off as soon as possible . He recommends a reduction of the duties on imparts to the point that , with the tenpenuy land
income , they will be sufficient for the economical expenses of government . I have faith that one of these days the United States will have a President who will recommend a repeal of the tenpenny laud Tax , and a reduction of government expenses to ten millions , to be raised by a direct tax on property . A constitutional treasury is strongly and ably recommended , and the recommendation is backed up by unanswerable arguments . Thatourpublicinoney should be loaned to . sets , ot" paper money-mongers to enable them to fleece lhe people , is an abomination that has been tolerated much too long . Onthe all-important subject of the public lands the President has made no advance . Even in 1832 , President Jackson recommended that the public
lands _x-L vuld no longer le a source of revenue . _President Polk _still dings to the ten penny land-tax , at the expense of the best interests of the " country and the "rights ofthe landless . He is folly alive to the villainies of Land speculation , yet the best he can recommend is , tbat while the speculators may still get the good lands , the plundered landless may , if tney can rake together dollars enough , have the refuse lands at a trilling reduction ot price 1 Would it not Ik well for the workers of this country for once to put in office a _President who has seen , if he has not felt , the evils of a community composed mainlv of __•« _,.. „ . _! ....- »_ ,., „_ ,.. , 3 t _* . : _ , _ ..: _*_ . » i n . __ i . _ . l _* _Jmt tenants ? It is ite natural that
< epea . qu a wealthy man , _consuming annually the produce perhaps ofa hundred poor _men _' slaboar , and associat ing only with men of his own class aud habits , should have his mind fixed mainly upon national prosperity and national glory , and bat little upon individual prosperity , aud individual rights . Jeffer son was an exception , and Jackson partially so ; bat the general rule holds good . If the landless would secure dieir right to the soil , they mast select for their _aueiits , not men owning lan * e estates and people to work them , bnt men who understand what it « to bc _iondiess and compelled to da three nun ' s work for one man ' s nay .
f ne mineral lands are rented , and the _collection of the rents costs four times the income . ' as all rent _caUecang ought to cost . The President , of course , is ami-rent _: _* . _¦ » regards the _ininei-sl Jands . This is & subject requiring especial consideration . in oaist . queaee of the grasping spirit of avarice engendered by the traih _' c iu laad and the insecurity of a homestead , every now and then our government 5 s induced to torce the Indian tribes further back into tlie wilderness , and then , it appears , those who _province ali are taxed ( tlirough the tariff and the public lands ) to support regiments of mounted dragoons to "travel about among ihe Indians aad awe them into submission _shocld they feel any disposition to be restkss in consequence of their expulsion from the _-hoine-s of their fathers , which expulsion would have been entirely unnecessary but for land monopoly .
Tiie Indians are made quiet at present—thanks to car Republican _standing army I Our Uepublic-tn navy is in fine fighting trim , and iras enabled to make quite a respectable demonstration , for ihe edification of Mexico , without exceeding the appropriations . Thc President recommends the increase of the navy by steam vessels . He thinks « ar chief reliance ior defence must be an " efficient navy . " A much better means of defence , it seems to me , would be to give every m _* ia a _hom-z to defend . Sueh a defence wonld eost nothing , and with such a defence tin-re _won ! d he iktle danger of an attack . As 1 anticipated , the newpostage law does not furm < h _sn'Hcient income , and it must be modified . As the people are scattered over four times the necessary surface for the benefit of _speculator , it wonld be well it some raisins could be discovered to make tliem pay the deficiencies iu the post-office revenue .
_Ko reanedon of salaries to conform with the re _daction of the wages of labour through misgovern _ment is recommended , not eveu in regard to the SvOO dollars salaries and { . 008 outfits of foreign ministers , to enable them to ape foreign fashions . A very . serious omission . The message , < m the whole , is great on tiie minor points , but small on the main one —a free sail fer a free people .

_Jcvesus _Advestckees . —About ten o ' clock in the forenoon of _Wcdms-Jay , Air .

Glasgow Chaetist Dinner. A Number Of The...
GLASGOW CHAETIST DINNER . A number of the Glasgow Chartists , who are in the habit of holdin ff a weekly social meeting , te talk over nassing political events , and who bave fcr some ysars held an annual festive meeting , resolved that tbey would this year meet together and dine with such friends as they couhl muster upon Oie afternoon of New Year ' s Day , 1816 . All . vnhminiri » being ananged , the company met m Mc Pherson s Tavern , Old Post Court , at fire o ' clock . Mr . James Moir , Jong known not only to Scottish but also to Eng lish Chartists , as astern , unflinching democrat , ably officiated as chairman , supported rinlit and left by the venerable Deacon Carss and Air . John Miller . Mr . George Ross , well known to all goad and true Scottish Chartists , officiated as croupier , supported right and left by Messrs . Paul and Thomas Aucote , jun .
Amongst the company we observed Messrs . Lang , Rankin , Pinkcrton of Paisley , Thomas Ancote , sen ., Divid Sutherland , Kyle , Bcnnet , _Mc'Cubbin , George Ure , fe . The party having done ample justice to the good things of this life , provided and served up in the best style by the host , Mc'Pherson , at au extremely moderate _charge The _ChairKan opened the main business of the meeting bv proposing the first and most important toast— " fhe People ! the oniy legitimate source of all political power : may ihey soon see the necessity of active aud united exertiou being made to obtain their just rights ! " _Uc begged to congratulate the meeting on the number assembled to-night , remark ing how rare-it was that so many should meet after such a length of time _withlsuch a small break in tlieir
numbers , lie was delighted to see Mr . Lang , despite his dismal forebodings , previous to New Year ' s Day , of his ever making one again at such a meeting as this . It was also highly gratifying to _liave brother Rankin present , after his long aud severe illness ; it gave him great pleasure to see his honest countenance once more . He was also glad to see the friend from Paisley ( Mr . Pilkington ) . With regard to the toast he had read , he would say a few words ; it was one of a very important nature , and one , he was sorry to say , the people seemed not fully alive to , although there was not the shadow of a doubt of their being the highest source of all political power , lie thought that he eould see amidst the clashing of parties , that the time was rapidly approaching when the neonle wonld be roused to insist upon the possession
of their just rights , overwhelming all opposition . He would refer to tho late meeting held in tho City Walls , on the Corn Laws , as an index of the state of public feeling . They met in numbew , but not to applaud ; the resolutions wwc put in nearly solemn sileuce , vigorous efforts being mad _« oh the platform , and in its immediate vicinity , in vain attempts to get up the steam . He was perauaded that , bad but one single individual in the confidence of the masses started up , he could easily have carried the day in spite of the League . For bis part , he could not believe that the manufacturers wtre . giving their princely contributions through any desire to servo the people . No , they were casting their bread on the waters , to be gathered with interest after many
days . ( Cheers . ) Ail present were interested m obtaming the just rights of the people , for all suffer injury . Every man present had to be engaged the lifelong day in simply providing the bare necessaries of life—in looking for something to eat and clothe himself with . On the other hand , when the people had a voice in making the laws , they were able to enjoy a much larger share of comforts than it was in the power of the working man in this country , lie alluded to America , Switzerland , & c ., in all of which countries they eat their bread in pleasantness " under their own vine and fig tree , none daring to make them afraid . " ( Applause . ) The chairman having again read the toast , called upon them to respond to it iu an overflowing bumper , which was done standing , amidst great and reiterated cheering . After which Mr . Bennet sang the appropriate song" A man ' s a man for a' that "
Mr . Paul was now called upon to give the next toast , which he did in a short pithy and witty speech — "ThePeople ' s Charter , and no surrender , may it speedily become the law of the land . " Thetoast was received with three times three , and drank with all tbe honours ; followed by an appropriate song from Mr . Kyle . ilr . Bennet was now requested to propose the next toast ; Mr . Bennet gave— " The Chartist Press under whatever name and wherever found , may tliis mighty engine multiply amongst the people , and be found successfully combating the prejudices of class , and curbing the oppressor ' s power . " M \ B . was of opinion it was of little consequence under what name a paper honestly advocated our principles , neither
dm it matter where found , wliether in London , Leeds , He of Man , or Princess-street , Glasgow . Such engines would multiply iu exact ratio as the people exerted themselves to obtain their just tights . The Chartist _pressbad done great good amongst _thepeople , it had carried a knowledge of the working man ' s rights and just claims into every house . Mr . B . concluded these few observations with some remarks as to the prevailing prejudices amongst the upper and middle classes ol society , of which he was glad to say very evident symptoms of giving way were apparent _, lie also drew attention to the great extent to which the oppressor ' s power was carried , not only in political and social life , but also in the church . He would now sit down leaving the toast iu their hands , wliich was drank with all the honours .
The Chairman ww called upon the Croupier to favour the company with the nest toast . The Croupier expressed liis " regret that the toast which had been put iuto his bauds had not fallen into abler hands , particularly when he saw their young friends from Paisley amongst them . The toast which he liad beeu called upon to speak to was one ofa very important nature , and which he trusted would be drank in sincerity . He for one would like to know in reality for wliat these meu had been sent out ofthe country ? Hid he been oue of thejury that convicted them , he could not , with a clear conscience , have found them guilty of fighting against their sovereign . He begged to call theirattention to movements being made in England to get up public meetings with a view to petition Parliament in behalf of these exiled
pa . riotB . Should it be said that Glasgow will be behind in that good work ? No ; he trusted not . ( Cheers . ) He hoped to see a large and overflowing meeting got up in the City Hall for that purpose , frem which a strong remonstrance should emanate . ( Applause . ) They had some reason to hope their exertions would not be lost . Had not the exiled Canadians beeu freely pardoned , and solicited to return to their country ? Had not even Daniel O'Connell been allowed to escape ? He trusted that if such a meet ing was got up , it would be gone about with spirit , and attended by gentlemen from a distance . ( Renewed cheers . ) , lie also hoped that their exertions would be crowned with success , in the free pardon and return of those exiles to the bosom of tlieir families , friends , _tnd country , with whom they would find an
affectionate , hearty , and enthusiastic reception . ( Great applause . ) The worthy Croupier now called ior & brimming bumper to— "Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the other exiled advocates of the _Peopled Cause , may they soon be restored to their country , their families , and the cause for which they are suffering ; " which was drank amidst great cheering , Mr . Bennet playing "The Exile of Erin" on that sweet instrument , the accordion , and followed by some other enlivening strains . The Chairman now rose and said : Mr . Croupier , and gentlemen , —I find it has now fallen to my duty to oropose the next toast , viz ., "Mr . Pinkerton , and the Chartists of Paisley . " He ( tbe Chairman ) , was right glad to see their friend amongst them , and he sincerely trusted it would not be the last time of
their meeting on such an occasion . It would give him great pleasure were he accompanied next time by as many of our Chartist brethren from Paisley as could conveniently come . He would only impose this condition—that they be ofthe right sort , " whole hoggers" like Mr . Pinkerton . ( Cheers . ) He would now conclude by giving the toast , and wishing health and prosperity , and best of times to the Chartists of Paisley . Responded to with all the honours . Mr . Pinkerton shortly returned thanks , regretting the apathetic state of the Paisley Chartists . He said , that after twenty-five years tugging at the oar with them , he could not now say what tbe Paisley people would do . Every idea of noble-mindedness seemed to have vanished since the time they
had been compelled to exist upon thc paltry , miserable pittance , of one penny a day . He was at a meeting the other day in Paisley , caiied to make provision for the poor , and their whole talk was , not "how much they should provide , " but "for how litdc they could « et off with paying . " He begged to return his grateful thanks for himself and the good town of Paisley . De had great pleasure in being associated with the Chartists of Glasgow , and would now propose a toast , viz ., " Messrs . Ross and Moir , and the Chartists of _Glasgmv . ( Cheers . ) A more unflinching man than George Ross he did not know . As for our friend Moir , he did notknowhow to describe him best ; whether as the noble aristocratic delegate for Glasgow , or tllft 0 _ nflb __» ll ___< r _l-iral . n ,. j _ F _ . _i'jc _ _-y __» r . i _ : ___ W ' _lfttlfiu . c
I He regretted to see him maintaining liis Malthusiun I practices , strutting aloof , looking on and admiring but a ' armed at tiic idea of partaking . He would i : ot be surprised some of these odd days , to see friend Moir in a better way . Without detaining them longer , he must say of Mr . Ross , whether in the camp or at the board , he had a . ' ways found him _hobk-miiided . Look at the beautiful morals inculcated , and sound political knowledge olissembated , in that small halfpenny publication , the . Scottish Chartist Circular , so long and so ably carried Qn under the good captainship of Mr . Ro < a . He had no wdetained them Jong enough , and would conclude by craving a bumper to bis toast , which was drank with all thc usual honours .
Mr . Rosssliortly returned thanks on behalf of . Mr . M » ir , the Glasgow Chartists , and himself . _1 , ' c would just remark tliat he had never been a flaUerci ' |< ut he trusted neither Mr . . Moir nor himself would tni . ji . nu wanting or absent where good work was to oc < t , _ue ; _ucidtei * would _liiey siirhk from _iakhf a

part both iu the getting * p and _ear-tyiM out one or two public meetings in behalf ef the _exifedpatriots , which , having at heart , he entreated his _fnenda not to lose sight of . ( Cheers . ) . Mr . James Lang , being "flow _cw- ' _-e _* Upon to gwe a toast , rose and said , that he was sorry to say the particular toast had been entrusted to bun , as he regretted Ms total inability to do it that justice which ft merited at tlieir hands . He must crave for his toast a special bumper , as tlie real toast of the eveuing , vis ., " Fbahous _O'Cossor , Esq . and all other honest advocates , expounders , and lecturers , in favour of Chartist principles ; may they soon find a common basis upon which tkey may honestly unite tofiaht the battle of Universal Suffrage . " ( Great
and rapturous cheering . ) Mr . Lang passea a nigii culogium upon the sterling , honest , unflinching character of Mr . O'Connor . He said , that man had been called everything but a gentleman—held up as everything that was bad , as a "traitor , ' and as a "blasphemer . " Many traps b ad been laid to work his ruin ; but he was too cautious and prudent a general to be so easily caught . He hoped ere long to see a strong union amongst all classes of Chartists , and the entire abolition of that fighting and quarreling which had too long been dividing their strength . He was glad to see the movement making in favour of Frost , Williams , Jones , and tbe other exiled patriots . He was delighted at the prospect of the
return of tlicse men . With reference to what fell from tlio chair in the early part ol' tho evening respecting himself , he must say , that this time last year he had felt so very distressed in spirits , and poorly in health , as to express his fear of not surviving to meet with them on the return of another New Year ' s Day . He . was , however , extremely happy at once more meeting them in asgood health and spirits as ever , and with as good a prospect of mcetingthem upon many similar occasions . ( Cueers . ) lie would now conclude , calling upon them to charge their glasses to the brim for Jiis toast , which was drunk amidst nino rounds of applaiwe , upstanding , aud with all the honours .
The Chairman now craved a _bumpcrfor their jocular old friend and brother clubbist , " Mr . James Rankin , and glad to see him once more amongst us , may he be speedily restored to good health . " It gave liim sincere pleasure to see tliat Mr . R . was so far restored as to bc able to bo present . He trusted tbat tbis would only be one of many such delightful re-unions with increased health and strength to Mr . Rankin . Drank with aU the honours . Mr . Rankin , on account of his weak state , simply and shortly returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him , and for the good wishes expressed towards him . The Croupier now craved liberty to _propose a toast . One , he regretted to see , had been , by some unaccountable neekct . omitted in the _programme ; it was
the health of the oldest Chartist and Radical now present , viz ., that venerable Cobbetite , Deacon Cares . ( Great cheering ) He would not enlarge on the merits of Mr . Carss , they all knew liim better than he could describe . He would now call for full glasses to "The health of Deacon Cares , and may he be long spared to meet with us as he had hitherto done . " Drank with cheers and upstanding . Deacon Carss rose , and in a short and pathetic 6 peech . returned thanks for the honour done him . He had long been an admirer of Cobbet and his writings , and he considered it a high honour to have been entrusted along with their chairman and another gentleman to manage the business arrangements of Mr . Gobbet ' s last lectures in Glasgow . They took
the Theatre Royal , upon thoir own responsibility , for three nights for these lectures , the expences of each night averaged about £ 22 . and the receipts about £ 60 to JElOO a night , thereby giving them the great pleasure of putting something handsome into Mr . Cobbet ' _s pockets before leaving . ( Rounds of applause . _) The Chairman would just remark regarding what had fallen from his friend . Deacon Carss , that , for himself he had a veneration tor the writings of Cobbet , it was from them he learned his first political lessons , and from them he learned that hard words broke no boues * , he participated in the honours of doing what was necessary in the arrangements for Mr . Cobbet's last lectures in town , and fie / eft it to hare been a high honour . ( Cheers . )
The Chairman now called upon Mr . George lire to give the next toast , which he did in an excellent energetic address , congratulatory and eulogistic . He said that several had claimed their toasts as the toasts of the evening , but in calling for a bumper to his toast , he would call for it as for the genuine toast ofthe night , the toast lie had to gire was as follows : — "Our Noble Selves ; may we ever be found at our posts whether of honour or labour . " ( Cheers . ) It is true there is none of us so distinguished as to receive such titles as royalty only bestows ; but , Mr . Chairman , I would ask , is it not something to be proud of to be permitted to associate with and lie called the friends of the people ' s representatives ? I sec in tbis room men freely chosen by the people ,
and delegated to represent this great city . For himself , he would say , that he considered it the highest honour ever he achieved , that he became one of their number , ne regretted that mercantile arrangements would ir . three weeks time terminate his meetings with them weekly but he trusted ( if so permitted ) to meet them , at least , each new year s day . He would now crave a bumper for his toast , which was drank amidst the several honours . The Chairman now rose and expressed his regret that they were about ta lose so valuable a member as our young friend Mr . Ure , He would propose that Mr . Ure consider himself formally invited at tbis meeting to join U 8 at all times convenient to himself . Sure he was that he would meet with a welcome
reception whenever he should favour us with his company . He begged them to drink health and prosperity to Mr . George Ure , in his new sphere . Drank with best wishes for Mr . _Ure's prosperity . Mr . Ure returned thanks for the reception the meeting had giren to their chairman ' s invitation . He was proud to know that he would be welcome amongst them , and begged to assure them that he would avail himself of their kind invitation as often as was in his power .
Mr . Sutherland being now called upon for a toast , said—Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen , the toast that has been given me is one that demands the highest talents to do it _justice ; but coming from me , totally unused to public speaking , it will not be expected that I will occupy much of your time . The toast , sentlemen , is as follows— "Our wires , families , sweethearts , and absent friends . " The toast divides itself into two heads , tbe first part— " Our wives and families . " It is truly a pity , Mr . Chairman , that you are yet a stranger to the charm of saying
Ihave a sweet wife of mine ain . —( cheers )—for the wisest man the world ever _saw > Ho dearly lo'td the lasses . ( Great laughter and cheers ) . From twent y years ' experience lean assure you that you are losing the principal enjoyment and charm of life . What so delightful as the society of a cheerful warmheartedwoman to share your happiness and soothe your cares ? And if blest with a family , how pleasant to be in the midst of such relations . And , Mr . Chairman , in your present situation in life , aa you aro not so ablo to enter into the feelings of those amongst
ns wno are _nusoands anu _latners , 1 have to propose the " Health of sweethearts and absent friends , " and if I was more acquainted with your private lives and prospects I might , like one of our friends here , be able to " unfold a tale "—but I will not occupy your time farther in inducing you to fill a bumper to this toast , for who can be a better husband , father , lover , or friend , than the _fres man who dares to assert his owu rights and the rightsof man ? Responded to with all due honours . Mr . Thomas Ancott , senior , then rose and proposed " The Chairman , " in a few eulogistic remarks , which were warmly applauded .
The Chairman shortly returned thanks , and begged them to charge their glasses to the health of " The Croupier . " __ Mr . Ross having returned thanks for the manner m which they had responded to the chairnian ' i toast of his good health , Mr . Samuel Bennett rose , and craved permission of the chairman to propose a special toast , which was not in the programme . He beggod to propose the health of the patriot Patrick O'Higgins , Esq ., of Dublin , who , with a few good and true Chartists around him , had dared to brave Daniel 0 ' Connell and his myrmidons in their stronghold , and who waa now indicted upon some paltry charge of sedition to stand his trial ; he kuew Mr . O'Higgins to be a warmhearted and unassuming man : tbey would all remember his ( Mr . B . ) having visited Dublin some time
ago , tnere it was that he met Mr . O ' Higgins who treated him as an old friend , took and entertained him at his own house , aud from thence he took him to one of their meetings ; it was just such another meeting as our own , both in men and the spirit displayed ; at that meeting he had the high honour conferred upon him of being proposed aB an honorary member along with your chair / nan , Mr . James Moir , of the Dublin Chartist Association ; he had considered that event one of such distinction , that he had preserved his ticket of membership to this time , aud he believed that Mr . Moir had done the same with his ( Mr . Moir : Yes ); he would now conclude b y proposing the health of Patrick O'iliggin ' s , Esq ., and the Chartists of Dublin , for whom he would crave brinuning glasses . Received upstanding , and drank with all the honours .
The Chairman now got up to propose the last toast of the evening , and said , that as it was getting Late and near the time of breaking up , he would just remark that he , for one had spent au eiceedioff / v pleasant night , and trusted that each and all of the company could respond to the same . He hoped that all might be spared to spend such another night next New Year ' s Day , as comfortably and harniou oS as this last : he would now dismiss them to their homes with " A good ni ght , and a happy new year » ihe company broke up about eleven o ' clock .

COMMITTAL OF PATRICK O ' HIGGINS , ESQ . _W FOR SEDITION . HEAD OFFICE , DUBLIN . . On _Tuesaay , Mr . Patrick _O'lHirginB , of _^ ecth hon _^ to answerthe charge of composing , printing , «« P »« _J _ing a malicious libel , entitled " Landlord and Tenant-Tyrants turning Tenants out . " . . Mr . Cautwcll attended for Mr . _O'Higems . Mr . Wilson appeared as the representatives of the Crown Soli . 01 Mr . Porter , addressing Mr . O'Higgins , said , that tho crown were prepared to sustain the indictment in either
of two cases , both of which were within to magisterial jurisdiction of that office ; for there was _evidence of a publication of libel in the county and in the city of Dublin : and under these circumstances he considered it to be his duty to hold Mr . O'Higg ins to bail to appear at the next commission of Oyer and Terminer for the county and city of Dublin . That was what was at present proposed to ba done , leaving to the crown the o ption of the tribunal before which tbey would arraign the defendant . Mr . Cantwell thought that such a course would be very novel and it would be a hardship to the defendant to oblige him to enter into recognizances .
Mr . Porter replied that it would not be a hardship , as h « would take the same securities in each case . His object in requiring the two recognizances , and returning informations to tk < s _-iovwts as _v-ell as thc city , was to prevent unnecessary delay , which would result from the defendant being enabled to raiso a question of traverse in prox . If the indictment was found against him in tke county , he might say tbat he had not been held to bail or committed to answer for such offence twenty clear days before the trial , and th _» recognizances entered into to appear at the commission , and answer the charge brought against him in the city , might not prevent him from asserting his right to traverse in prox in the county , aud
versa . Mr . Cantwell observed , that , however sufficient the ground taken by Mr . Porter as a legal reason might be , it was not fair to place a man between two jurisdictions and leave him in doubt whether he was to be tried by a county or city jury . He had _nerer known a case where a person was made amenable under such circumstances ; and he < * id not see why the crown should ask the magistrates to hold him in two recognisances . Mr . Porter wished to disabuse Mr . Cantwcll's mind with respect to tke idea that the course was taken by him at the suggestion of tho crown . It was tbe view taken by _himsolf , of his own accord , in order to have an effectual investigation of the tranaction , uponwbicbhe would not pronounce any opinion .
Mr . Cantwell remarked , that the course taken seemed like a disposition to select thejury that would be conceived to be most favourable to the prosecution ; but be was sure that Mr , Porter , who had always been the advocate of a proper administration of justice , would not suffer suspicion to be thrown upon the proceeding in that case . He did not care before what jurisdiction he was arraigned ; all lie wanted was , that tbe Crown should make selection between two tribunals , instead of demanding a species of double-barrelled recognizances . Mr . Porter said— Suppose the Attorney-General prosecuted in that case ( and he had no reason for supposing he would do so ) , would lie , as a magistrate , he justified in _preventing him from bringing the ease before the tribunal . which he thought best to insure the interests of justice ?
Mr . Cantwell replied that Mr . Porter would not be justified in precluding the Attorney-General from taking any course he liked , but he had no rigbt to assist bim in adopting extraordinary means . Mr . Thomas _Kemmis here entered _theBoard-rooro , and Mr . Cantwell addressing him , expressed a wish that ho should interfere in ths case , and make a choice between the two tribunals . Mr . Keinmis declined doing so . Mr . Porta * observed that he saw no actual hardship in t " a _% _course * .-mu . _* tt he intended adopting , but he considered it necessary for tho due administration .
Mr . Cantwell said he could not dispute the power of the magistrates , upon strict legal technical grounds , to take such a course , and his appeal was more directed to the prosecutor than to them . If a person were brought before the magistrates of a , particular locality , ho knew the _tribuual which should entertain his case ; but be was placed in embarrassment and doubt when ho had to appear before a double jurisdiction , and be considered that the unconstitutional tendency of such a proceeding ought to induce Mr . Porter to abandon his intention ; for the effect would be to enable tbe Attorney-General te take his choice of two juries , and ascertain which was most calculated to forward his owu ends .
Mr . Porter mentioned a case in which a man was charged ia Kilkenny with having stolen two pigs ; he was counsel for the prosecution , Mr . Marcus Costello for the defendant .. The jrand jury of the city ignored the bills , whicli charged the prisoner with having stolen the pigs and the very day that they did so he sent up bills to the ' county grand jury , _charging him with _having Stolen property in his possession , and these bills were found . Mr . Costello complained tbat this was a great grievance , but the presiding judge did not sympathise with , his client . Mr . Cantwell remarked tbat very few people sympathised with pig stealers . '
Mr . Porter said , that Mr . Magee was a niagistrateof the county , he ( Mr . P _. ) was a magistrate for tbe city and for the county , as was also Mr . Magee , and if informations were tendered to each of them—one to institute proceedings in th « county , the other in the city , neither could refuse to take them . Why then should he hesitate about receiving the information , acting , as he was entitled to do , in both capacities ? Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon alluded to the case of "Willis , the jeweller , wh _» had been bound over by him in two recognisances , to stand bis trial for the same offence in Dublin and in tbe King ' s County . Mr . Cantwell wished to know upon what evidence his client was required to enter into two recognizances .
Mr . Porter than read the informations which had been already ssvern in the case . The alleged libel was com . prised in a number of questions and answers , having reference to thc landlords and the rights of their tenantry . The first information which his worship read was that of Mr . ; Ternan , of Balbriggan , county Dublin , merchant j the substance of which was , that in October last he received two _coplos of a newspaper called The Northern Star , containing circulars upon which the libel was printed , and he believed he _« ot a third copy of the
newspaper and circular . Mr . O'Higgins admitted to witness in a conrersation that the placard was the samo as that about wbich Mr . O'Connell had made such a " rout" in the Association , but denied that he was either the author or distributor of it . The next information was that of Jfr . Hogg , provision dealer , _Orinond Market * , the substance of which was , that he ( Hogg ) asked the defendant for ono of the placards to which Mr , O'Connell had alluded ; he replied thht he had one , and if he wished to see it he had it in his pocket , and lent him the paper . He did not seem inclined to leare it , but he did so .
Mr . Cantwell said that there was nothing more reasonable than that a person should be anxious to see a document which a man . 80 celebrated and eminent as Mr . O'Connell considered so objectionable , and therefore it was not to be wondered at that Hogg should be desirous to see it . Mr . Porter said that might he a good topic for a jury , but not for a preliminary observation . It appeared to him tbat both informations could he given in evidence upon either trial ; and that Ternau could be examined before a city jury , and Hogg before a county . Mr . Cantwell said , that if such evidence as that produced in that case were deemed sufficient to sustain an indictment , tho Times Commissioner ought to leave tht country as fast as he could . Mr . Porter observed that he was not aware that ho wae at work within his district yet .
Mr . Cantwell said , that he had been reading some of the letters of the 'limes Commissioner , for the purpose of that prosecution , particularly those parts which referred to the injustice of landlords towards their tenantry , and 1 ft he evidence ia tbat case were sufficient to sustain an indictment , he should tremble in his shoes , and get over to the other side of the water as quickly as possible . Mr . Porter observed that if Mr . Cantwell ' * remarks were published , tbe departure of tbe Times Commissioner might be expedited , Mt . Cantwell replied , tbat ho hoped what he said would expedite the departure of tlie Times Commissioner , and save him from a prosecution , except he employed him as his agent . Mr . Porter observed that the magistrates would not bs precluded from returning to tho commission any furthor informations whieh might be sworn against tbe defendant . He did not say that they would be sworn , but he did not promiso that they would not .
Mr . Cantwell said he _' _wonld ratbor encounter a doublebarrelled indictment , than a pocket pistol in thc shape ot an information in the dark . Mr . Porter remarked that it was not his intention tbat auy proceeding should bo taken in the dark , and be was sure tbat tbe Crown had no such intention either . Mr . Cantwell replied tbat he did not know , for at a very memorable trial they were very often taken in the dark . Mr . Porter , then addressing Mr . O'Higgins , said that be was about to take informations against bim , and to require him to enter Into recognizances to appear at the Commission for the City and County of Dublin , and he was ready to hear any statement which he might bo disposed to make . Mr . Cautwell said that , acting by his advice and under his directum , Ilr . O'Higgins would not make an _statoment .
The _recoijiiizauces were then entered into , Mr . O'Higgins giving biril iu i _* l ( J ( l to appear and take his trial botore the juries . for thc eou . 'ity and tho city , aud providing two sureties , in __&* < . each ( . _Vr . JBdward ( iatcbeJl and Mr . JohnLangiiu ) .
Committal Of Patrick O'Higgins, Esq. W F...
From _otor own Correspondent . The battle between the Times' _Commiwioner and Mr . O'Connell having drawn to a close , the _^ ° J _^ W topio of public interest in this great city at present to flu . probability of another trial for sedition . S o * » 8 _**< _-a Btale affair , but a little go , magnified into a go ™™ " * " * prosecution by the foul conspiracy of O'Connell and the Conciliation patriots . It is now matter of fact , ana _oevond mere speculation , that the government has been reluctantly forced into this paltry and disgraceful prosecution at the instigation of Mr . O'Connell and the repeal n & _cirkators . The placard which forms tho groundwork of the charge is fresh in every man ' s recollection , and since Us appearance Mr . O'Connell , with supposed mformation as to the author , in the most insidious , cunning , and rascally manner , gave to it an undue importance , as
well as unpopularity , by professing to believe that it was tbe work of tlie detective force , connived at by the government . After having laid his hellish train of cos . pieion , _unpopularity _. _andsupposedguittypurpose , Patrick _O'Hiiarins , Esq ., ft name neither unknown nor unhonourod by the English people , was seasokablv pounced upon as the author of the document * , and , although the informations against him were extremely looso and vague , the government owed to itself and to its _cmur srr the duty of searching inquiry ; and the consequence waa that , after a protracted hearing , and a largo amount of legal sophistry , which you will find in the report herewith sent , Mr . O'Higgins was held to bail to stand his trial at the next commission , himself in one hundred pounds , and two sureties in fifty pounds each , oneof the sureties being a Quaker . I cannot forbear
noticing oneof the most paltry , low , ungentlemanhke , and unprofessional acts which occurred in HT own presence during the preliminary investigation—ono of moral turpitude unparalleled as far as thc liberal press is concerned . The damning character given to the document very naturally descended upon its supposed antbor , and the Liberator and patriots of _Conciliation-hall being the only parties who saw conspiracy in tratb , sedition in its mild expression , and murder in the denunciation of wrong , bave from tbe outset been guarded in withholding the " damnable document" from public view , well knowing that its publication would bc the easy answer to the chargo of sedition . Under these circumstances , honour tells us , tbat the fair and straightforward course , especially for that portion of the press whieh animadverted freely and severely upon the placard , would have
been to publish it , and thus give to every man an opportunity of judging for himself , from the contents . But , so far from this course being pursued , one newipaper in particular , the Freeman ' s Journal , has not only been guilty of fulminating Us hired slander against Mr . O'Higgins , but has descended to the paltry trick of suppressing the truth . The reporter ofthe Freeman , who attended the preliminary investigation , having a shrewd notion that there was only one copy of the document in court , and making as shrewd a guess that somo paper , less truculent , might wish to publish It , resolved upon being beforehand , and asked Mr . Cantwell , the agent for Mr . O'Higgin * _, for _thecopy for publication . _Tbereporter of another paper also wished for a copy , but , upon being told that there was only one copy , the reporter of the
Freeman undertook to send slips of tbe document to the reporter of the other paper in time for publication . And , will it be believed by Englishmen , or by Irishmen who have not yet sacrificed their noble patriotism and lore of fair play to bombastic knavery , the Freeman , who violently denounced the document on the llth , the 18 th , and 25 th of November , not only broke bis word to his brother reporter , but had the meanness , in compliance with _vassallage to Mr . O'Connell , upon whose breath tbe paper lives , to WITHHOLD TIIE PUBLICATION ALTOGETHER , well knowing that its appearance would have been the ready answer to its own slander . Wben will Irishmen open their eyes 1 and when will Dr . Gray make atonement for ths dastardly and _un-Irisb manner in which he has lent himself , _as _| deputy spy , to tbe Liberator ! "Alas ! poor country , Almost afraid to know itself . "
Murder Near Liverpool. On Saturday Last ...
MURDER NEAR LIVERPOOL . On Saturday last an inquest was held at St . Helen ' s on the body of John Cunlift'e _, who came to his death under the foUowing appalling circumstances * . —The deceased was a shoemaker , about 30 years of age , in the employ of Mr . Sims , and was a cripple , wearing a wooden leg * . Thomas Wilkinson , a man in thesame employ , deposed that on Thursday last , about half-past one o ' clock , John Fairclough ( the prisoner present ) went to Mr , Sims ' s shop , and asked the deceased if he bad three halfpence to give or lend him . He said he had not . The prisoner then asked deceased , " Dost thou remember the time when 1 had to pay 5 s . for thee i" Decaased replied , " Ay , and if thou dost not mind thine eye I will make thee pay another 5 s . " After tbat witness heard ablow struck , and , on looking round , both men were on thc door , tbe
prisoner _uppormost . The deceased had the prisoner's thumb in his mouth . Mr . Sims ' s brother , who was present , took up a piece of wood , and threatened to strike thc deceased unless he let go the prisoner's thumb . He did let go the thumb . Wituess then went into tbe house adjoining to inform the master . On bis return in a few seconds he met the deceased staggering across the yard , - on asking him what was tbe matter , deceased replied that he was stabbed ; witness went after the prisoner and had him apprehendsd . Mr . Samuel Sims corroborated the evidence of tha last witness , aud stated that after the prisonerand deceased got up , witness left them both standing in tho shop , and wentinto thehousetotell his brother . He immediately returned , and saw the prisoner come out of the shop and walk down the passage ; tbe deceased
followed , crying out , « Oh I ' m stabbed f he staggered and fell down ; blood was coming from his mouth ; _boftwit . ness and bis brother ran for a surgeon , and Mr . Gaskell ' s son was in attendance in about half a minute . The other witness , "Wilkinson , came shortly afterwards with a police-officer , and on searching witness found the knife which he produced under the seat where the deceased had sat ; itwas witness's own knifa , wbicb belef t _onhis seat . on going into % he house , ' it was bloody , and the edge snipped j the knife was perfectly smooth not five minutes before , when witness used it ; witness ' s seat was about three yards from the place _vtbwe lie found tbe knife , Mr , ( xashell , surgeon , deposed that he found tho deceased bleeding from a large wwm & in tbe back , between the left shoulder blade and the backbone . Witness probed the
wound , aud found tbat it had passed into tho cavity oi the chest , between the seventh and eight ribs witness bandaged tbe wound , but tbe deceased never spoke . Shortly after he became nearly pulseless , and was gradually sinking until balf . past eleven o ' clock the same _nighty when he died . Witness made a postmortem examination , and on opening the chest found a wound in the inferior lobe of the left lung ; there was also between 30 and 40 ounces of blood in the cavity ofthe chest , which had flowed from the wound iu the lung ; this was the cause of death . The wound was about five inches in depth and two _inchea in breadth externally . No human aid could have saved the deceased . Mr , Storey , superin . tendantof police stated that on Friday morning , the prisoner was informed that Cunliffe was dead , when ho began to make a statement , but was cautioned ; the prisoner , however , persisted in making it , and he said he went with tha intention of buying a last at _jSims ' s shop although he did not mention it there ; he asked Samuel
Sims to lend him three halfpence , who said ho had got no money ; a strange man was in the shop at the time whom he did not know , lie then asked Cunliffe to lend him three halfpence ; they had some angry words , and Cunlift ' e and he got to quarrelling- ; that Cunliffe struck him ( the prisoner ) tnd they both went down together , at that time Sims and the other man went out ofthe shop ; that they then both stood up in tbe attitude of fighting , and the deceased struck at him with a knife , which prisoner afterwards took from him ; tbat Cuuliffo bit his thumb whon they were both down together , and after be had taken the knif \_ from Cvmiiffe he was stoop * ing down for something else to strike prisoner with , when lie struck the deceased onthe back with tUe knife which he had previously taken from tbe deceased ; that he threw the knife away , but did not know where . Tbe prisoner also stated tliat the deceased threatened to kill him . The jury returned a verdict of " "Wilful Murder , " and the prisoner was committed to take bis trial at the _assizes .
Ths Iatb John Tawbu,;—'Ihe Bucks Epiphan...
Ths iatb John Tawbu , ;— 'Ihe Bucks Epiphany sessions commenced at Aylesbury on Tuesday , and amongst the motions whioh are to be brought forward before the magistrates to-day , ia that of Dr . Leo , of Hartwell-house— " That the chaplain be required to lay on the table the confession of " John Tawell . " Tbis is in continuation of the resolution wbich was unanimously adopted at tho last sessions , that "tho confession of John Tawell be laid upon the table at quarter sessions for the county , and if tbis be not acceded to , the chaplain be called upon to deliver it up forthwith . " The magistrates , in demanding tho confession , do not consider that the refusal oi the clergyman rats on the privileges of his order . The m » .
jonty ot authorities on the subject are in favour of compelling a clergyman—even a Roman Catholic priest—as a witness to divul ge any confession made to turn of a crimo . Tho confession is not one of privileged communication only , as tlio chaplain received it , but as an officer of tho magistrates , which might have just an well been made to tho _"aolor or any other official . In a case of Rex v . B ' uliop of Ely , _iVlr . Justice Bayley pronounced that the bishop should not , in order to gain a private bonclit _. be allowed to withhold public documents , but in case of the continued refusal of the chaplain to _deUvor up the confession , it will bo a matter to bring before tho bishop to discharge htm from his office .

John llatcliffe , of tho King's Arms Tavern , _Harcfield , Middlesex , was thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of tho discovery that a deal box , which had been kept in tho bed-room of Mr .
