That waatfo way by which he ( Mr . Wall ) obtained intfrviejwd with Ministers . . * ¦
Mr . Martin—They should write to their frienda in prison , to ascertain if the horrid rigours . » o which they had been subjected , were mitigated . ( Hear ?) He had read a letter from a prisoner whose treatment was unparalleled for cruelty . ( Hear , hear . ) The motion was carried , mid a deputation consist ing of Messrs .

representatives of Darby , and demand their support , reminding them that if they supported the people , the latter would in turn support ( hem . ( Hear , hear . ) He waited upon Mr . Strutt , delivered to him his message , described the Bufferings of the working classes , and told him that the people Were resolved that if there was no happiness for them' that nobody else should be happy . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . S . ) asked him would be acoom-S my the deputation to the Marquis of Normanby e replied he would not , but that he had no objection to support the petition if h was properly worded . ( A laugh . ) Mr . Ponsonby was from homo .
Mr . Wall left fifteen letters for Members of Parliament . He appointed to see Mr . Harris at half-past ten to-morrow ( Thursday morning . ) Mr . Barmby waited upon Mr . Raikes Currie , who received him kindly , and promised to support the petition * He thought that the present Government should not stop in office . ( Hear , hear . ) He then blamed the Chartists for the part they had took in the Nottingham eleotion , and said that if another party favourable to the Chartist cause came into power tbat the Chartists should join them . Mr . Ruffy Ridly said that he attended on the previous evening » meeting at the Tower Hamleta . He was there introduced to a person who held an
office on board the Mandarin , which carried out Frost , Williams , and Jones . He was not at liberty to state either the officer or the name of that person . But he would state to the Convention all that that person told him . He said that the Mandarin was a merchant ship , employed by Government to take out transports . The Captain and the Doctor of the ship sympathised with Frost , William ? , and Jones , whom they treated , with the greatest kindness . They kept them apart from the other prisoners , and allowed them to walk the decks . Frost and Williams appreciated that indulgence , and always expressed their gratitude for the attention paid them . Jones was quite the contrary . He
considered himself in a degraded position , was sullen , and could not be induoed to feel comfortable . Frost said that he considered himself a sold and victimised man . He was much grieved for his family , but expressed a strong hope that the country would look to them . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Frost wrote fifty tetters to his friends , which he intended to confide to that man ; but a superior officer gained his ( Mr . Frost ' s ) confidence , who always supposed that treachery did not exist in man ' s bosom . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Frost confided those letters to him ,
which he never delivered . It was no difficult matter to guess where they went . ( Hear , hear . ) He sent a verbal message to Mr . Lovett , which was to be personally delivered to Mr . Lovett . "I then asked my informant , " said Mr . Ridley , "if Mr . Frost spoke of Mr . Feargus O'Connor . My informant replied tbat he did , and that Mr . Frost said that he looked upon Feargus O'Connor as in the employ of the Government . " ( Great excitement , during which almost all the members rose simultaneously as if to speak . ) Mr . Ridley was proceeding , when
Mr . Wall submitted tbat they cohM not entertain such a subject . ( Hear , hoar . ) Mr . Martin said they were not aware but that Mr . Ridley ' s informant was employed by the Government to bring Mr . O'Connor into contempt . Dr . M'Douall—There is no question of it . He himself admitted that he was iu the employ of government . ( Hear , hear . ) Chairman—Did Mr . Ridley gave the name of the individual ? Mr . Williams objected in tolo to tho subject being persevered in . It was a mere ex parte statement .
Mr . Wall—The way to get rid of a public man was to say that such and such was the case . There was no necessity for facts to bear out statements . Thus it proved a very easy matter to destroy a public man ' s character . ( Hear , hear . )—People should be cautious of asserting anything said iu private conversation . Mr . Ridly—If you consider the statements false , appoint any gentleman , and I will bring him to the * man . Mr . Pitkethly—It is a most dangerous conversation . ( Hear , hear . ) Chairman—You allowed him to commence a report without asking him tho nature of it . 1 now question whether I can put him down . Will any gentleman move that he bhould not go on , or am I to allow him to proceed !
Mr . Ridly—If I am allowed to go on , something will come out to prove false the charge against Feargus O'Connor . Mr . Martin—It is an attack against Feargus O Connor , who is the soul aud life of this Convention . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Morgan—He had no right to make such a report . If it reaches Feargus O'Connor such words will break his heart , especially after all that he has done for Mr . Froat . Mr . Wall moved and Mr . Williams seconded , that they could not entertain the subject , as it was not connected with the business of the Convention , and that it ba referred to a committee . ' Mr . Barmby— A pail baa been- made-publiv RMr . itidly ^ ST&e remainder bears honour to Feargus O'Connor . Mr . Pitkethly—Mr . Ridly should have consulted some one before he mado the communication .
Mr . RidJy—Mr . O'Connor stands olear . If I was allowed to speak truth that it could be proved . Mr . Martiu—I heard tbat Feargus O'Connor was paid by the CarIton Club . ( Louti laughter . ) Mr . Wall withdrew his motion , aud Dr . M'Douall moved that , the matter be referred to a committee , and that the committee be required to report on the same . Mr . Martin seconded the motion . The motion was carried . Mr . Ridly—I consider that you are doing Mr . O'Connor more harm . Mr . Martin—We cannot do him harm . The conversation then dropped . Tho following letter was read from Mr . B . Baring , for whom tho execution of young Cook has gained immortal and unenviable notoriety ;—
"Sir , —I have received your letter asking me whether I am prepared to lend my support in Parliament to the purpose of obtaining the liberation of all political prisoners . If any peculiar case of hardship can be shewn in the circumstances under which anv individual has been tried , condemned or detained , 1 think it but just that such judicial acts should be revised , but if you asked me whether as a class , political delinquents should be exempted from the general
operations of the laws of the country , I must conscientiously and unhesitatingly say NO . The public peace must be protected , because on the public peaco depends the employment of industry and the enjoyment of liberty—the disturbers of the public peace—the man who seeks to . a « Mad the law by breaking the law puts off and disoouiages useful improvement—casts a slur aud distrust upon the peaceable reformer and does bis utmost practically to maintain those very abuses which he may in his heart whh to abate . the of not

Baking . " A general laugh followed the reading of the above , while tta * feai of the assembly cried out" that was Baring TOibanged young Cook for having struck hisbftfefllipft brick . " The latter ebullition was praBMpi ; and very properly put down . A ieifjf long discussion ensued upon Mr . Rose ' s motiop , which was seconded by Mr . Martin , for members attending anti-Corn Law and Ministerial meetingStfifor the purpose of defeating their objects , and 6 U » si « utiug for them the great cause of the people . . /^ & Mrr r ^ wethly , Dr .

Mr . Wall was satisfied that the working olasses would be defeated at meetings field in the day ; but they would undoubtedly succeed at meetings held at night , as . he himself proved at the Crown and Anchor . ( Hear , hear . ) The men of Southwark and Stepney Green would at all times be able to ' carry their objects . The previous question was moved on Mr . Roses aud Mr . Morgan's motions , both of which were
similar in their objects , and was earned . Mr . Barmby moved that those members of the Convention acquainted with the representatives of tboir districts be required to wait upon them , and canvass them in favour of the political prisoners . The motion further insisted that the delegates Bhould exert all tbeir influence over their different representatives in obtaining theif votes in favour of the petition . Mr . WaUaeconded the motion , and Janid that at the meeting held the previous evening in St . Pancras parish ; five delegates were appointed to wait upon Lord Te ignmouth , and Sir Benjamin Hail , and influence their votes in favour of the petition .
Tha motion was carried , and the Convention rose at seven o ' clock .

FROM ODR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , May IZ . The general impression now is , that the Ministry will not resign , but that they will appeal to the country through the medium of a dissolution of Parliament . At this moment , meetings are holding in Stepney , Southwark , and other places , for the purpose of creating public excitement in favour of the Corn Laws , the voluntary principle , and against church extension ; so that they may be tests of the liberal principles of candidates at the meetings on the nextgeneralelection , andthu 3 the friends of tho Whigs hope that they will be enabled to defeat the Chartists . There is not a parish vestry composed of
Whig retainers , that is not holding parochial meetings with the same view . Daniel O'Connell has issued his ukase to the Irish people , commanding simultaneous meetings to assist the " base , the brutal , and the bloody Whigs . " As a sop to Cerberus the Government , it is said , is lending their aid to tlje great repeal meeting , convened for to-morrow eveniug , at the Crown and Anchor , by the Dictator . Sixteen members of Parliament have promised to attend . In order to keep out the Chartists , the charges for admission will be half a crown for the platform , a shilling for the gallery , and sixpence for the central seats . The Chartists , will , however , patronise Mr . O'Connell .
Public Meeting . —Last night , a publio meeting was huld at the Chapel , Chapef Place , Broadway Westminster , for the purpose of calling upon the Legislature to enact tho People ' s Charter , and to release all persona donfined for political offences , Mr . Pitkethly in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Ruffy , Ridley , Skevington , Smart , Morgan Williams , and H . Wheeler . Mr . Williams made a powerful appeal in behalf of Mrs . Frost , and the assembly evinced the deepest sympathy - for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all the other prisoners . A deputation was appointed by the meeting to wait upou Sir De Lacy Evans and Mr . Leader , requiring their support to the memorial . The good cause is progressing rapidly and successfully . The Convention are at this moment about resuming their sittings . , ___ ..- ¦ - *• -

The Steamer President . —Liverpool , Tuesday Mornikg . — We perceive in Lloyd ' s List of last , night a notice , that the Lord Saumaurez arrived in the river Thames , reports ^ having seen a large steamer , under canvas , no steam , standing to the N . W ., on the 10 th April , in lat . 13 N ., long 33 W . This vessel is very probably the President , as it is not in the track of any steamer ' s usual course ; she would , at the above date , have been at sea thirty days . Death of SrR Frederick Johnstons . — Sir Frederick , in company Mr . Borthwick , was , on
Sunday l ast , returning to Eglintoun Castle , at which both had been visitors for some days , from a dinner party at a gentleman ' s seat a few miles distant , fcir Frederick rode forward , and was found by Mr . Borthwick lying on the ground , aud bleeding profusely . The latter took him up on his hors * and conveyed him to Eglintoun Castle , where the unfortunate Baronet expired soon after his arrival . An alarm had previously been given at the Castle by Sir Frederick ' s horse galloping up to the stables without a rider , his knees broken , and the saddle much damaged .
Dreadful Case of Hydrophobia . —On Tuesday evening , Mr . Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital , on the body of William Lingard , aged seven years , who had been bitten in the heel by a small dirty white dog three months ago . Heexpired in dreadful agony about half-past one o ' clock on Sunday afternoon . Verdict— " Died of hydrophobia through the bite of a dog , but how iuflioted there is no evidence to shew . " Diabolical Case ok Stabbing in Kendal . —On the evening of Sunday , the 9 th iustant , the town of Kendal was thrown into the utmost consternation by a report that a man had been stabbed in the breast and abdomen whilst engaged in a pugilistic combat . On enquiry it appeared that a person of the name of
John Robinson , a carrier s porter , employed by Mr . Machel , had met a person in the streets of the ; name of Noble , who follows a like avocation , when an ebullition of angry feeling from both parties ensued . Robiuson after this retired to the New Inn publichouse , to which place he was followed by Noble , when almost immediately afterwards Noble struck his opponent . A fight was the result . Thexton , the landlord of the inn , then interfered , when Robinson was thrown over a wooden form , and during the strife was stabbed twice in the breast and once in the abdomen . He called aloud " that he was stabbed , " and on an examination taking place it
waa found that a frightful gash had been made in the lower part of the beUy so as to cause his bowels considerably to obtrude . It was likewise ascertained that two deep wounds had been inflicted on his breast . Surgioal aid was immediatah ^ eent for , when the surgeons aft once pronbuncaarth * injuries to be of suoh a nature as to place the life oi Robinson in the greatest jeopardy . Thexton , the landlord , and Noble ' , were then taken into custody , to await an examination before the magistrates , which was to take place on Tuesday . It is rather singnlai , that after most diligent search being made by the police , no weapon was discovered by which the frightful cuts could have been made .
Loss of the Ship William Brown , from Liverpool to Philadelphia . —Havre , May JO . — The Louis Philippe , New York packet-ship , has this moment arrived . Information having reached the town that some shipwrecked seamen were : en board , the report became general that they belonged to the President , and the excitement was beyond all description . On the arrival in dock , however , a strong bod y of the gendarmerie were in waiting , and immediately took into custody the mate and eight of the crew of the ship William Brown , bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia , which was sunk by an iceberg in the latter part of last month , for as yet I cannot give you precise dates for anything except that these men were taken from ^ he
Crescent , which vessel had picked them up in their long-boat . But a tale of horror is to be told about them . It appears when the vessel struck , thirtythree passengers , the mate , and ei ^ ht of the crew , took to the long-beat : the clptaiu , three of the crew , and eleven passengers , took to the jolly-boat ; the rest sunk with the fessel . The boats parted in the night . Some f days after the mate and crew determined ( crthey say in order to lighten the boat ) to throw seventeen of the passenger * overboard , which they accomplished , and some of the most horrid and revolting scenes took place . There were two brothere » and sister of one family : the
brothers were thrown over , and the sister jumped in after them . One fine boy begged for a few minutes to say hU prayers ; they refused , and hurled him into the sea at once . Some dang to the sides of thttboat praying for mercy ; but their hands were cut off , and they were pushed into the deep . Fifteen ladies and two men remained in the boat . One hour after this massacre the Crescent fell in with the boat , and saved the survivors of the horrid deed . The passengers remained on board the Crescent , the- crew arrived in the Ville de Lyon ; they are sow under examination before : the American Consul . The jolly-boat has not been heard of . The dates of the Ville de Lyon have been anticipated by the Aoadis .

He has also given his consent to the holding of a ball , in his room , for the benefit of the victim-families , provided if De eonducted on teetotal principles . The best evidence of repentance is restitution , when full and fairly ma de , but we do not think that to be the case in this instance . Mr . Firth has injured these defenceless families to an amount much greater than that of htf forced and ungraciously offered restitution .
