Mr. Justice BATLT saiJ, that the Court would con the application, and make such order u would be Tie Wt. having been cleared. the following. persons. charged under the same indictment, were brought for ward. viz :----Jobn Preith, aged 20 ; John Vatrance, zY ed i 1: John Perrynsond, 25; Abraham Ingram, tie,•rge Brian, 36 ; Juba Hobson, 20; lieorge fitirld..sh4v, (brother of the other prisoner of that same). 25: William Holland, 20 ; and 311chael Down. 4'. The indictment above alluded to was again bythe t)Mcer of the Court, and the prisoners se veta!lv pleaded Not Unilty. Thv whole of the prisoners, when asked, " how will t.•l ht t::eil?" answered, " by Hod and my Country." Ti.e OiFtcet of the Court replving to each, in the usual b t u, "God grant you a goOd deliverance." Mr. %meaty made some observations on the neces :iv of postponing the arraignment of the other prison ers ti:: Booday, on the ground of their Attorney be ing abeetit, but this was opposed by the other side, by whom it was stated, that sufficient notice had been citei to all parties. prisoners as well as Solicitors. ; After a few words from the Bench, the following permits were placed at the Bar, viz.—John Lindley, 50 : William Hinkley, 50 ; Thomas Blackburn, 33: John Peacock. 45 : there was also the name of John Smith, but this person is not in custody. The indict ntra against the above fise persons was read : it (+arced them with various acts of High Treason, and tl.e venue was laid in the parish of Huddersfield gen..' ally. on the 30th of Marsh. Mr. SiAlliti took an objection to this, as the parish was divided into several townships. and hoped time would be allowed him en , put in, if he should deem fit, a plea in abatement. Alter sonic ditosiiion din both side', it was arrang ed at the suggeitlon'of the Court, that the prisoners should plead now, leaving itopen to the Counsel for the prisoners to make application to the Court on Meeday, proper affidavits beimg produced. Tie last mentioned Frisoners immediately pleaded " No: Gitiity." Mr. Justi‘e Witte desired that the prisoner Com stive should stand forward. The prisoner appeasing at the bar, slr. Justice gayly said—You applied to the C. art just nun., on behalf of yourself and fellow prisoners. for permission to have your mothers, wives, father-, ai,d other relatives call upon yen. The Court did rot then answer you, because we were nut aware ' that se had any power to grant your request. We have innuired, and the result is. that we are restrained from grantirg any such indulgence. Your Counsel and Attorneys stay have free access to you ; we cannot go furdter. Con..tive.—Nor the committing Magistrates either. ibk Justice BATLY—No : if we had the power we —but we cannot go beyond our duty. Ur. Justice Bane here observed that the Court erruld expert that pending these trials no pats either of the speeches or evidence should he given to the public. either through the public papers, or in any other manrer. There were many reasons which in duced toe hurt to make this order—the publication the evidence might be iniurions to the prisoners themselves but the order being made, the Court would expect that it should be equally adhered to. The prisoner-, all appear to beof the labouring classes. They are. we believe, fur ti:e greater part, journeymen wean rs or spinners. They were comfortably clothed, and appeared in good spirits. In the course of the day. sereral c.:rt loads of witnesses for the defence entered the toter, bout the uriehhoterhood of Barnsley, from which place the greater part of the prisoners Lave come. is co: yet known whether the prisoners are to be put upon thoir trials singly or together. under each in dictment. It is reported that there are a great many witnesses for the Crown, and the trials are expected to last during the whole of this week. lilllCEOVlEitilli.6 THIS D tr AT 07IE O'CLOCK.

ZNTRACT ►ROM THE NATIONAL IN ITLLIOENCER AMERICA AND Fst.tscr.—The most interesting fea ture to us of the late news from Europe is the excite ment produced in France. by the passing of an act, imposing new tonnage duties on French vessels. From the friendly feeling of this country towards France. that Act was passed reluctantly and will he cheerfully suspended. according• to the provi sions it contains. authorising that course which the Government of France shall think tit to reciprocate with us, the liberty aunr Commercial RegnlJtions.--- France will not disdain to be as wise as England. and by a relaxation of the 4yitem. ara:l herself of the op portunity now offered to her. In spite of all the tilthc load of calumny with which the character ef the Qurrx has been charged by her enemies. and in spito of all the efforts of n.i• nisterial ageney to prejudice the public mind. and to suppress the public voice, the interest excited in her MAJeSTY•I behalf continues unabated, and Addresses of sympathy and attachment to her are pouring in from even• quarter. To what t.nse or causes can thls popular feeling, so intense and so extensive. be ascrib ed ? That it is founded un a cons ietion of her honour and integrity is ungnestionable. The people view the whole proceedings as connected with the foul con spiracy which had previously attacked her life. They regard them with abhorrence, as a combination Of power and fllOlll4lDy directed by 1111VOnge ; and tlo.re gard them with indignation as directed against Ms in jured and defenceless woman. All that is noble and generous in the breasts of Fngii•hmen are raised on the occasion t but the enthusiasm is • not a feeling of the moment it is cot netted with principles of a permanent nature, and with circum stances that extend beyond the occasion that immedi ately excite it. The minds of the people are raised against the persecution of the QUEEN, because they End it to be a part of that crooked anal mischievous system by which they have so long been miagovea fled, and which has been the source of so many, and snch grievous calamities to the country. lienerons as is a genuine English heart, it is not merelysympathy with a persecuted Wrest, by which they are at present ac tuated ; they I. el fur themselves and for their clailalree. It is not out of mere regard to the character of her 11. - JUTT. which they unque,tionably think has bees most basely traduced, that they take occasion to testify their respect anal sympathy ; it is also out of hatred or contempt for the character of her tra.tscers. They assenale. and tb.•y meet the more readily to express their feelings for her sufferings, because they are denied the privilege to meet and bewail their own ; and in giving vent to their sentiments respecting the injuries she has per sonally experience 1, they mingle their tacit and subdued complaints on account of the oppression of the nation at large. The interval occasioned by the adjonrnment of the House of Lents, offered us an opportunity of observing upon the affairs of the Continent; and, fur that pur pose, we were about to put our thoughts into some tolerable order, when the intelligenee of the revolution in Portugal burst upon us, and partially diverted our attention from the centre of intended hostility towards Naples. In a mere political point of tiew, the Por tuguese revolution speaks volumes. It has taken place in the face of the thundering denunciations of vengeance, the tritium film rod of the leading allied powers ; and it sheers Low impotent !mist be the effects of violence against the moral, yet overwhelming force of principle. If the allied Sovereigns could pause, eve, at this moment if they could retrace their steps, and sheath the hostile sword which they have drawn against the people of Naples. they would almost ren der themselves respected. Rut such is their infa tuation, and such the lust of ',over which has taken possession of their soils, that no reasonable hope can be entertaiued of the slighest spark of liberality ever finding its way into their Royal and Imperial bosoms. The revolution in Portugal, on the contrary, has no doubt increased their wrath, and hastened their hostile movements against the people of Naples. It seems then, that all the horrors of lint are to be re. rived, and that human blood is ardn to be shed in AITIIMAK torrents ; and we must keep is mead, that the eattoe .f all tihrispeethe 'misery is, merely, that the domiseer- 1 lag pride of time tikes has bees oillended. l hey are *Seeded, sot betimes the Neapolitan people have com mitted any set of eggressioo, for that is tot eves pre. tended ; bet thaw-dread Sovereigns am most grieve** offended because the Neapolitan people have made cer tain arrangenteats with their Sovereign, and arrange ments too, which have 'wade the people happy. and the KING *spieled. Ibis is •• the very head end frost of their offending ;" and with what different feelings, therefore, shall we observe the respective combatantson the approaching hostility. On one side will be ranged a band of heroes, warmed with genuine liberty, and volunteeting their lives in its defence. On the other. wits be arrayed an army of slavish vassals. whose minds. are broken down to their wretched state of boudage, 44 who will reverence their enemy while they obey the haughty commands of their superiors, in prosecuting this unrighteous war. We shall anxiously expect the information of the I first blow : and, as that is generally struck by the ag- i gressur, we look for it front the side of Austria: which is about to march an anoy of tso,ooo men to ler from-1 tiers. We cannot dissemble cur fears for be saletref these generous Neapolitans, as tl ere is little doubt that the enormous weight of the Austrian force will diet-twiny crush them for the present. But it will Le hove the Allied Sovereigns to give some WO site tti , lll to their own dominions : and we mistake very much if their NIAJUITIes will not find ample room for 'timer - else of their best domestic policy. without rueddlinf wi a that of their mighltours liermany is in open aera tion, in consequence of the hated l'eworslOp vo the Press. Prussi.t is discontented ; and even frozen. half barbarized Russia is making immer se strides towards in tei ligence. and intelligence is ever the forerunner of freedom. In short. the progress of improvement is hourly on the increase ; and vain, if not dangerous, nil! be the attempt of these " Gods of the Earth - to put it ' clown. They may make war. and plunder and !Pillage ; I they may drench the scaffold with the blood of their victims : they may every day and every hour Air up victims to the Moloch of their ambition ; bet never will they be aide to extinguish the holy ethereal fire of constitutional freedom. It is beginti:ttg to illumine thecartia. May it civilize and give happiness to all mankind. and may its enemies take warning. err they perish it its tfatnee.
