Sib , —As all controversies in your paper are conducted in a gentlemanly style , rather evincing a desk 5 ' correct error or elicit truth , tkan \ ic misrepresent ; and , » 31 Admit , most fully , the right" teasorship , I have much pleasure in giving the exp lanation soughifor in the last number of your paper . First -with respect to tithes : I was iilustrat-JEg tie manner in -which the dianclination to relieve g rievances partially , at all times leads to a demand
for their total removal . I said that a refusal to iHe-riate the Ira-dens of the negro , led to his complete manumission ; that the refusal to adjust the fithe qncstion , would ultimately lead to the total abo jtion of tithes , and that the refusal u > grant the darter , -would eventually lead to a demand for a Republic . Sir , you must have thought me mad indeed , to haTe declared tithes to > e abolished " ; when , so far f'em it , in my opinion , the grievance is considerabl y increased .
You next reqnire an explanation of a sentence ipokeu a : Manchester . Sir , you mast know that I wa ? speaking of the whole system , and that the inference to be drawn from that part of my speech irae , thai-the inem of cot breaking oni into general rcreii under the many provocations was dae , inot to ihe ^ oTeminent hut to the people . Tee third explanation yon require is of a poraon of my speech at Oldham , and which , as well as memory serves , yon shall have . I said that it ttotqH be my delight that any victory gained should be a bloodless victory : that of myself , I never would present an unarmed and an undisciplined
people before an armed and a disciplined force . 1 said that I never could forget that to order would , upon the part of an individual , bo dictation or isnrpation ; while to refuse to obey , would be high treason : therefore , my place was with the people : . their place was to command ; mine to obey . This , I said , proved the want of a resogniss * l direeUbg - power ; the want of which had been the cause of * very physical- revolution having failed ; becanse the middle classes , flushed with victory and in possession of arms , organised the hew system , which mi ^ hi be no better than the old . I said thai the Eas - ers took care that the working men should h % too poor to Let arms . " -
Sir , 1 beg to assure you that I never correct a line in a ? p ? ecn of mine . I run all chances , aad , generally find things pretty correct . Fee two meetings were composed of work * ing men , - * rho are keen censors ; who wonld expose error or chastise apostacy . To than I refer you for the correctness of my statemeet ; at the same time observing that reporters declare it impossible to follow me correctly , I speak » rapid y , and that notwithstanding all-, I uever complain . The -working people are tho best political erirks in the world . They woaldhave corrected me
had ! made the blunders with which I aa charged . ' Si , with regard to your hope that I will now adven eai-e moral force ; 1 hare always saiu that it is the drill argea ^ t of physical force ; iha . t physical force ] should sever bs thought of until moral means have j been fairly tried , and that if every man would work j as I have uone , there is enough of moral force in the i hasds of the people to carry anything they like . I I am , Sir , [ Your obedient servant , PEAKGL'S ' O'CONNOR .

above , they must have been of the middle class , that class which is now calling so loudly for a police and and a military despotism . "If there is oneaass of onr . fellow-snbjects we would desire to befriend more than another , it is you—the operatives of England and Mr ales . But some of you say that from our remarks last week , we are desirous of holding you , a free people jn bondage through the terror of an armed military force . In the first plaee , ire beg most emphatictf'r to aeclare that we desire the accamplishment of tins object , ( that is the osUblishvntnt of a niUitary depot or station in our immediate neighbourhood ) for ftc benefit of the industrious and- honest operative . There
are many ways m which you need protection , and such as can only be effectually rendered by the military !' "Honest , honest lago , I am not drunk -this is iuy left hand and this is my right" Well , come little bird of Paradise , when you choose you can speak truth . Ycur party and the Whig party thought you would quarrel stoutly about the public plunder , yet agree to a miiacle about the means of bringing the country to submit to a military despotism . You are surprised that people getting good wa es should be at all discontented . You do not work very hard yoursdf , unless you call fribbling lies by wholesale hard work ; and yet doubtless you are well ^ aid for it ; yet if any one -were to say that you vere too ignorant , too poor , or too mischievous to oirn a Tote , your feathers would begin to ruffle a little , doubtless . It is not too little ortoo much "wares that have made the
Welsh ; discontented , but o Jhzojrtedpeiif their political { menaces . What , is your stupid brain so muddled by conceit and ienorance as to suppose that people will t * content , when they once know how hfey millions , every year , are wrung from their hard labour to be expended upon pimps , prostitututea sineennsts , dead-weight men , and thousands of useless vagabonds ? \\ ill they be sitisSed whilst the landlords rob them by the Corn laws every ^ ear to the amount uf four millions ? Do you think they will bo silent , when they see a "SVhij Parliament votinj one thousand pounds a year to one woman , an-1 at the sometime pacing a law which erects infernal prison-houses at which a haTd-working man is kept for eighteenpence a week ? What ! will you find them silent when in the adjoining town of Brecon , an old woman , on being separatei fr ^ m her husband . iiUed herself , by jumping through one of the bastile wi- dows \ Do you think that they have lost every feeling of shame , and honour and
virtue ? Where were you that you did not come forward to advocate the estoblislunent of astron- polL-e force for the town ; such p .-force as would not be over particular about 5 little strong swearing against - the Frosts , the V » aterses , the Williamsee , the Jving Crispins , the Johns , and the other rebels and traitors . " Finally , as a hist question , do yon think that when ence the people become aware of the corruption of the Government , that they will be contented until it be removed ? It is true , quite true , that Ireland has been brought to a state of misery UDparalled in history , and mat a pjBce and a military force is the Government anl the attempt doubtless will be mr . de to brin-this conntiy into the same state , but there Trill be some w ^ xt rely npon it ; I would advise yea to read Oastlert letter in the Champion of Oct 25 th .

I do not know who said it , but it was one of the three who came into "the house . He was out by tho door . Soon after a lot of people came in , 300 or 400 ; tho house was full with them , and many outside . They wero all armed w ith various weapons . It was then about ten
minutes to twelve o ' clock . I know Edward Edmunds , the son of Edmuuds at the Greyhound . / He . was there . I have known him seven or eight years ; [ The witness hero pointed out the prisoner as that person . ] Edmunds ordered the pooplc out of the room , and went out when ordered by him to do BO .

Furnam called for a pint of beer while I was there . It ivas then about two o'clock .
Cross-examined b y tho prisoner—I cannot say how many men it was yon ordered out of tlio house . When you went-out " I should think four or five went with you . .. Mary Charles , sister of the last witness confirmed generally that Witness ' s testimony , , anX stated in addition that pW heaTd some of the men pay they were goin ^ to Newport to pull tho poorhon « o down , and that Newport should not be worth , anything Wai day , and that there were but sixty boldiers m the town .

Thomas Hopkins , son of tho superintendent of police , was then sworn , and deposed to tho -attack' oi the nestjjate Hotel on the morning of the 4 th of November , by a mob of 3 , 000 or 4 , 000 armed men . This closed the case . for the pro . - ecutiun . 1 'he prisoner , having been duly cautioned b y the Chairman , made the followingstatemeut : —
"On Sunday , the 3 rd of November , a great mob of people came into my house an . l ordered mo . out . I asked wh ^ re they were going to . They answered , it was no oddo to me , but I shoud find it out ; and they said if I would not come with them I should be a dead man . I then weut alouj ? with them as far as Crosspeir 4 is . n , aud I thva a ? ke « l them . if . they were going a y further . They-wid they were" goinz- ' to Newbridge , a- . d then I eiiouid ham : I said I would not go any further unless I conM hear gomethiii " from them at Newbridge . After I got there they said I must come u » wn with them to l ^ isca . I told them I could not waik any further , as I had jnst before fraciuxed " my rib . They &iid if I could not walk they would get me a horse . I gaid no , not ia that way . I th ? n went on as far as Risca bridge , and sat down under it . Then 1 heard n " rin <; . I should think in the direction of the -Welsh ' --Oak'l A man then said 1 wasbouud to go along with them
ai * d I Went on to the Welsh Oak , where I saw t ~ o or three hundred people . I asked what was going on there . They said Frost wa . » there , and tbey were all going to Newport . They then started doym as fur as l * ie Coruer , aud 1 made a stay there till all the crowd went by mo . There I first saw Furman , with a pistol in his hand , and I oid not see hi matter sards . I and another young man walked on after them as far as the Waterloo , aDd I believe wo were tho two lust exempt three or four . We then call-id fora "lass of beer apieces ; the Waterloo , and saw Mr . Robins and Uie landlord standi : ig there . We were there at ii > ur o ' clock . Tho young man and me walked after them up Stow-hill , and that was the furtheKt place ire went to . Thi . i is the whole truth , and it is a great falsehood that has been stated against me .
