say something about steam-engines to take the people down ; he . said that was propo ^ d for , but it was not looked for ; there was a deal of ' -alk about it afterwards on the hills . I saw a chaise in tlio turnpike road while we were waiting at thO house I have spoken of near -where the tram-roau crosses the turnpike road . We left the place about day-break , and came down to Newport . There was a man with me armed . We passed through Sir Charles Morgan ' s park . I and the other man had each a wilking-stick in our hand . I was just alongside o * ' prisoner on the mountain . I heard him ' say whaJ I have stated before—not to break the law .

Lrcss-e . xamined by Mr . Geach—The prisoner had an umbrella in his hand . It was after the blast appeared to be out that lhe prisoner said , "Let them p'it it out to the devil ! " There was not a quarter of a mile between us and the furnaces when uio prisonevs made that observation . Williams could have returned to the place where the furnaces wore with out my knowing it , as I did not see him for a-long time . 1 did not see him going towards the furnaces . I have known , the prisoner about a year . I have never seen him different than a peaceable , quiet man , and a good neighbour . He said the arms were to be u ^ ed in self-defence if there were- need . Re-ex a mined by the Court—I havo seen thtf prisoner-with pistols-in his own honsc ; that was . on the Sunday , when we went to tho Jarge meeting .
It was about fifteen inches long , something like a horse pistol . I saw him ramrod the pistol . I did not hear him . say anything . Re-examined by Mr , Geach through the Court . Is it an unusual thing for a man to have a ftuuor pistol in his house!—Witness : If I had a gun in my house 1 would always keep it loaded . This not being a proper answer to the question it was repeated , when the witness said it was a-common thing to have a gun or pistol in his house . I was about three or four yards from the prisoner at the time . 1 did . not see the lock . nor flint ; 1 thought it was a whole pi ? iol by seeing him ram it ; but I cannot state positively that it had either a loek or a flint . By Mr . Phelns . —I believe it was a whole Distol .
Simon Leonard sworn . —I am tho landlord oi the Haubury Arms , in the parish of L ' anhilleth . On tho night of Sunday , the 3 d of November , I was at home . We expected what they called the Chartists to come down aU over the hills , and proceed down to Newport . Wo did not believe the rumour . Betwixt eleven aud twelve o ' clock several men came to my house . As soon as I opened the door they filled the honse . I . did not answer the door when they first rattled it . They rattled it a second time , and iired ofl ' a gun . I tapped at the window , to let them know I hoard tbein ; aud they said , unless 1 came down immediately , they would bur . ^ t the door open . I opened the door in consequence . The persons were armed . They called for beer , which I gave them . Some 1 was paid for , and some not paid for . They blew
the light out , and at that time I considered myself in great danger , and 1 begged of them to get the i ! i ; ht a ^ ain , as h was impossible to . do anything in thodark . They then , got . a light . 1 saw tho prisoner in my house that -night . ' In about five minutes alter they brought me the light . I saw him in the . bar where I drew ths beer . 1 had known him before that time . I shook hands with him , and told him 1 was vey glad to see him . 1 told him that I had drawn all the beer that I had on tap , and 1 begged him to send the people away , as they hail had all the beer that wa 3 on tap . He made no reply to niy request further than he ordered the people away . Ihey weut , and ho told them to make the best of tneir ^ -w-ay , and . not to call on their way any more . did not where
c say they w « ro to raako tho best of their way to . 1 first asked him if he . would take a glass of anything , lie said he would take a glass of peppermint . On my going to look for the peppermint I found that tho jar and the peppermint were all gone . The-c was about three gallons , and 1 missed ajar that contained rum , about a , gallon and a half . The prisoner asked me if I could accommodate him with ahorse . I said I had no horso . He asked me if I knew where I could get him one . lie sa'd he was willing to pay anything : if ho could only get a . horse . I then went into the taproom , and ieft him in the bar . I saw liim no more till this morning . 'H , left my house , in the direction of -Newport , about one o ' clock . I missed a cloak , four umbrellas , and a safeguard .
Cross-examine . ! by Mr . Geach—I have known the prisoner about sis month ? . I was glad to SCC him , because I had heard he ! i :. l a reat deal to do with the Chartists , and 1 thought that if any one could turn them out that he was the very person to do so . I believed that , 33 he had influence over the men , that he wonld not let them do . anything ' out of the way in my house . 1 do believe the prisoner an honest Ejan , ami it was from that belief I was glad to sea him in my houso . I never heard anything to the contrary of his being a peaceable aud honest man . Re-examined by Mr . Phelps—It was his influence as a Cha tist that induced me to think that he could clear my house . 1 was not thinking at the time of his being av . honest man . Mr . rhelps—Do you consider it to be the act of an honest man , when he heard that you had been robbed of the peppermint , not to make any observation ?
Witness—I did not state that to the . prisoner . ; James Samuel—lam a haulier , and keep the Coach and HorseB , at Uanilo . I was at home on the night of Sunday , Nov . 3 . About half-past eleven o ' clock that night a number of persons came to mv house ; thev knocked very hard at the door . I went down and opened the door , and a great many camo in ; but not so many as came afterwards . Some of them were armed . They called for beer , awl bread ,-and cheese , I saw the prisoner there about half-past one o ' clock that night . He called for a pint of beer . 1 gave it to him .

( Tremendous and long-continued cheering . ) They knew ho had not confined hia attention exclusively to a repeal of the Corn Laws , or a denuaciation of . tho New JPoor Law Act ; or an oxposuie of the Police ActSj but he ; haitf aJI aloiii ; agitated the great principle of Universal Suffrage , which ottce obtainedwould speedily remedy

Ho was never better received iii Ireland than at his last visit , and he- now repeated his challenge to Mr . OConncll to meet him in any town Of the . " three kingdonn . ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . O'Connor then solemnly warned the people , to beware of secret societies . The bad man ( he said ) would not be bound by an oatli , and the goo d hian did « ot require an oath to bind him : ( Cheers . ) Ho then went on to point out that under the present system , the labour of the working man being
unrepresented , no protection was afforded to it , and that the workman was therefore entirely at tho inurcy of tho manufacturing speculators . " Thus the working nian was not only ground to the dust by poverty , but , in order that his wife and family thoiild not starve , he was often compelled to surrender his liberty to his hard-hearted tyrant , -work-, ing sixteen hours per day , when ho should be only employed eight . Were the . people of t ' nis country ( lie indignantly ; asked ) for ever to be treated like beasts oi' burden , and , after a long life of labour ,, to bo in old age driven to take ret ' iige in . a enamel hpupe ?—and tho new Bastiles were little better than chavnel houses ! Under the present system a working mau ' a body was worth nothing when alive , and £ ' " 2 13 s . when dead , for the knackers would give that sum for . it , in order that by cutting' it up , they wight the better heal tho diseases of the rich " , ( lluar , hear , hear . ) But ho thought it 'would avail them little : for as the workman's disease
was generally starvation , and tho rich man ' s repletion , tho ; disorders were so different as to render them little service . Mr . . 0-Connor then , after informing the meeting that he should have an interview with Mx . Geach , ( Nlr . Frost ' s son-in-law ) on Monday next , in London , which called forth much cheering , ' pledged' himself to stand by the people so long a . s they stood by him . He said , he had a name at stake . Ilis whole family had been ' distinguishedfor their a-dent love of liberty , and their descendant would not disgraco their name . He was told by the lying press that ho was now on a visit to paiiiel ( J Conuell at . 'Derrynane- Abbey , though he had never seen that gentleman since 1835 , and had . never been within forty miles of Derrynaue Abbey in . hi 3 life . After poiutiug out thut OTonnell might have been lhe greatest man in England if ho had not basely uoserted the people ' s cause , Mr . O'Connor concluded hjs address by passing a high enlogiuin on the servieea of Mr , Pitkethleytp the good cause , and . sat down amidst loud -cheers .
The . Chairman said he trusted that the splendid speech they had just heard would sink deep into the minds of those present . As to what Mr . O'Connor had said about himsolf , ha would mereiy say he had taken for a guide the words— " Euglaud expects every mau to do his duty . " He hoped he had dona his duty , and ho knew he had dono no more . He would now call on Mr . Richardson to address the meeting . ¦ ... Mr . RicruuDSON' was received with loud cheering lie . said he had learned in the course" of his reading tliat England could never be ruined but by a Parliament .

Apublic meeting of the workingmon of Leeds was convened ini their Asndeiation ltopm , -which Was crowded to suftbeation . Mr ; Moslcy was called to the chair , and upon Mr . O'Connor entering the room , he at once introduced him to the meeting . He addressed the people at great length , shewing that promotion to corporate hohours had deprived the people of some leaders , vvho . songht only for personal distinction , by which it would appear that the better plan to keep them honest was to : keep them out of the way of temptation . He said that when the Whigs were lit absolute power they treated them with scorn , contempt , and insolence ; but when weakness camo upon them they treated them with courtesy and courtship : That if a few men ,
calling themselvea Radicals , were thrnst ihtO : tlifl piebald Corporation , they wonld sink' liadicalism , and , for mere expodieucy , without boldly proiassing Whiggbry , they would paniato their apostacy upoii tlie expodiency of opposing Toryism . Ho trusted that thelpr < sent system would hot last for a year or half a , year ; but ii" it should so liappeii that they were onco more compelled to try this local skirmish , he would pledge himself to put tlie \ Yorking classes of . Leeds , iii ' - ' a-position to appoint , to all tlie corDOrate offices of the town . Leeds had beoncalieddrow ' sy , but was now awako : Ho had at all times feltiMisincliriatioh to take part in corporate squabbles , or to attach himself particularly to any orio ipcality ; but now it was to be a battle ^ lie would t-ako a man ' s
part , and Tally them under their own standard . The wealthy had their Grand Jnivction Railways , and ho would have a ti ' raud Juriction Mental Railway . ( Heai ; . ) He would establish / the Manchester , Ltieda , and , Sheffield Graud Juuctiou Political Hallway , and from that power they Yvould establish local cbmmitteies to do tlie wholo business of those two great counties , lie would then have a Leeds general lae ' . Association , consisting of Working nioQ , whose services if required , v . 'buld . bo devoted to routing both Whig arid Tory from all corporate © lncoa , and tho' putting hpuost working men iii their stead . He explaiued that upon all occasions the Whig plan was first , -aiuTabove all to havo Whig members ; and , failing , that to prefer Tories to Radicals : they would rather see tho dbvil than
a Radical \ valk into tho To > vn Cpuncii . If . 'they could beat the Tories without them they never would have courted them ; so thai tlie trick had , thi 3 / one good etfeet—if the Radicals were not before conscious of their strength , they had now learned it from their Whig oppressors ; and having learned it , let them make the beat of . it . Mr . O'Cohhor then applied himself to the case of Mr . Frost ; and . made ' . ah iininiated appeal on behalf of that goutleman , setting forth thfl facts which will bo found in his Addrcs .-i to tho men of Sunderland and Newcastle . He then told the nieoting that ho had received a letter from Mr . ( Jeach , a solicitor , and step-son of . Mr . Frosty iuf ' ormini ; him < Mr .
O'Connor ) that that . gentl \ Miv . \ n had . been appointed , to conduct Mr . Frodt ' ^ delouce , and desiring ah iinmodiate iutorvie ' . v with him oil the subject . He had appointed Monday ; and from that night till Monday he vpuld addre ^ ri tho men of Iluddersfield on Wednesday ; the men of Stalybriugo , on Thursday ; tho men of Stockpoit , on Friday ; and tho meii of MaHchestcr , on , Saturday . He had also the pleasure to inform them tliat Mr . Geach says that Mr . Frost still , maintains- his usual calmness and reso ^ hition . This annoiuieeiuont ; together With the whole addres ;' , was received wiili-loud cheers ; and thus ended all hope upon the part of the Whigs of any coalition between them and the Radicals .

It had been announced that on Wednesday night Mr .

No sooner did ho make his . appear-h ' ncc than ho was greeted with loud ciieers ; a , ad when he ascended the platform and presented
lums-clf to the meeting , tlie applause was absolutely deafening . - The room at this timo presented a magnificent appearance , every corner being crammed , while the enthusiasm was as great as any we over witnessed on a similar occasion . It is calculated that / there-were at least 2 , 009 : persons present . When the applause had subsided , Mr . Pitkethly was proposed as chairman , and the proposition was carried by acclamation . The'Chaiuman said ho was happy to see tho men of Hiidden-neld met together in their usual manner There were . fevcral genUcmeu present who would now address tlieni ^ thc ir long-tried friontl , Mr . 0 'Conv . oi-- ( great cheermg ) ,- ^ Mr .

Mr .

( Cheer . - " . } - But , perhaps , they might thivk that tho iirtt subject he ou ' ght to address tliem . tipon should be that couuoutcd ' with the namo of Frost . It was for no crime that , his patriotic friend had been arrested ami tiiroyyu into a duiisjcon- ; lib had been victimised'by spies and traitors , iind . if they suffered him to be injrirod they v .-ould richly deserve to be victin ') i '« ud thcmsolves . ( Cheers . ) lie had received a letter from -Sir .. Coach , . Mr . Frost ' s ' . soa-iu-laW , who had also written a letter -which appeared in the Sun ' complaini . ng' of t ! : e vile iiistigat ' ioi !!; of the bloody
Tory press . In his letter to him ( Mr . O'Connor ) , Mr . Geach . asked him what was the state of feeling among tho working clas . ses with rogard to Mr , Frost , and whether a sum of nioney sufficient for his defence couid be raised . Ho ( Mr . O'C . ) had replied that it could be raised . ( Ctycers . ji Ho , had stood goclfathor for the political acts of tlie people—he Would now stand godfather for their virtuous actions . ( Loud cheers ;) Mr . O'Connor . then' went on to propose- that tiicrvarious clubs uudsocUtit ^ should lend him , upon good security , a sum amounting altogether to £ 1 , 000 j ' or which he would pay .-ix per cent ., "devoting the whole of it fur the defonue of 'Frost :. ; ' aud he would trust -the . people to repay him as , soon as they -were able . 3 hfo liberal otfer was received with
tremendous cheeriuaand vyavins of hats .. It Was his duty ( he continued ) , as he was more wealthy thai the working man , to stand iu tho gap botween Mr . Frost and his oppres ? ors . If he could have advanced tho neceasary sum himself ho would have dono so . he could not ; but ho would sell his coat from his back , and go iri his shirt sleeves , rather than that his friend Frost shouHl be tvudefended . ( Great cheering . ) The people- wero ' s& . poor , they could not find money for the- defcucn of thnir best friend , and yet they would shortly fee saddled with euoriaoiis exi ' -enscs for-the : wedding ^ f a , yirgiii Quceiv with a paiiper jouft-. eym'in King .
