oessage from the conclarliue paragraph. page 52. ~Bich he considered fully as inflammatory and h. question—nay, he thought !wiliiits as the extract in r a most open inetigistion to violence. Mr. Wynn ~ye n read the following extract :—" Mydetermina. tiou , fur one, is fixed; if those whn have the power A r o ma to deprive me of the inalienable right of , l i e eing my fellow.countryaVen, by letting loose • soldier st one, without the earning of en Act of Parliament. t will resist him. if I can ; if they .lo give me the warning of an Act of Parliament, I will break it if I can.

Their privileges were got exisosed t to, danger from ifte eracrrme.buscotts of the Crown only ; Th e euilence of the'Peop e had at different timer produced strong effects on the conduct of the Hone. The attainder of Lord Strafford was pro doc.-il in that way—the names of the Members who at first opposed it were posited in conspicuous places all through lawn, and the fury of the po pulace directed against them, and the intimidation *hick followed led to the inhuman murder of that Nobleman. Ile thought this was an abominable publication; and that if the author of it was, as N Gentleman, he should on that account in: selected for paitishittent. Lord NUCENT explained. The question on the original motion was then put soil canted, SEARCH FOR ARMS. Lord CASTLIMILAGH moved the order of the day the second reading of the Search fur Arms L;111. Mr. TIERNEY raid he had no intention whatever to provoke • debate in the present stage of the measure. His vibjection was not sia much to the principle of the Hill, which was local and tempo. rarv, as to certain provisions of it. Therefore lie thought it most advisable to let it peas the second nailing anti go Mt° the Committee, where perhaps the amendments might be adopted. which lie thought requisite. If not, there were two subs,- lin en' s t ag es a t 'stitch it might be opposed. A douse to which ice most strongly objected was one e nirosterilig one Justice, on any DIrOMID I IOIII, to grant his warrant fur entering into the house of any swan by night. Mr. BEN w Art hoped the whole of the county of Northumberlaffil would not be put under the ope ration of the B 11. All its purposes would be an swered Icy making it act on certain parts thereof. .Ir. LAMBTON hoped that the Noble Lord (Caatlereagli) would feel it his duty to state to the House whether he had made the inquiry he pro. mseil, in consequence of what had passed in the House last night. He now again asked the Noble whether hr lied seen any communication from the Deputy. Liesetesient of the County of Durham to any of has colleagues, containing a representation at the rod or the peaceable state of the county ? Lord CASTLERIAGH said he had made itiqui ries, and discovered the communication made. re ferred to by the Hon. Member. But the evidence it ..horded slid not go the length that the lion. Member (Mr. Lanibton) warmed to imagine. It merely stated that the county was not in a state of tumult at that time, without venturing to assert that tranqinllity would be permanent. Now it had never been alleged on that side of the House that the comity was ill a state of actual tumult, but only in such a state as might lead to tumult. 'Elle letter was written (we understood) to Lord Solution!). in consequence of an application to certain Magistrates to call out the yeomanry, by The commanding officer at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. lie curisideritig an additional military force necessary fur the security of the county. The letter con veyed intelligence of this application. and added what he had before mentioned. as the opinion of the writer. The South Tyne corps had in fact been put'on duty in consequence of the command ice Ificei's wash. This was the only document he had seen. Mr. Witmrrox said, that the sweeping state ment. made by the Hon. Member (Mr. Lanthton), of the trai.quillity and loyalty of the county of Din Will. pl4cril other Gentlemen connected with it, and who had reason to differ from him in opi nion, is rather an awkward situation. He felt it to be his duty, however, to lay before the House the grounds usi which he was compelled to think very differently from him. He also had received intelli gence, he should not say from whom, for to declare their names publicly would most indisputably ex pose the individuals to be murdered, bat should lie mention their names, they would carry with them the credence of every Gentleman who heard I • . The information they fornirheil was, that ins!l those parts of Durham where the colliers inhabited, there existed a s;.irit of disaffection, which not only led them to contemplate prospective plans. bat manifested itself by a state of organization, and a note of preparation for moving and acting whenever it might be thought expedient. His informant added. that he knew that all the pitmen in a cer tain district arra infected with this spirit ; that they were all divined into broads of twenty men, with leaders to each; that they met every week, and that there was a regular correspondence kept up between themselves and the colliers in the West liiihog of Yorkshire. He (Mr. Wharton) said, that Iftmourable Members knew there had been w ineeticg of Magistrates some days lance, to coss,ither of the best means of preserving the teanquillity of the county. He had received another letter bout a Gentleman who had been an shy years a magistrate, and who, he believed, sta. the lam UMW who Would too easily yield himself up to alarm. 'fins correspondent said that he (Mr. Wharton) knew he wee one not cosily alarm ed, but that it would be apa th y not to feel some "prehension at the danger which then as it were. lay at their doors. His firm and deliberate opinion was, without some stu n g protecting measures, there was an end to the security of therept o 7 lif minty. The pitmen had all lenesil-sbeur 'Aver into bands of twenty-6w Liiiiibbiss tidispeety ibans lied been already parcelled wt *Aft (s 1 isingii)sistal they were rserkiiiii e•iatilleb mu &turista km.

Member to say the other day, that, these people were infected with no disloyalty, though en thusiastically attached to the clause. of reform.— No* it was extraordinary that the teflon, thee all openly stated they wished for, walk not a reform in Parliament, but in plum terms. ■ transfer of property from those who possessed to thaw who did not mown it. Mr. LAl.lll'Oll said, that were it not for the dio agteeoble nature of the subject. he should have been extremely amused at some of the observations of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wharton), but the sub ject was too serious for mirth. Yet he thought it a little extraordinary that a Gentleman who had not been for some years in the comity of Dur ham, and who, when he did reside there, lived some miles distant from the people against whom he had preferred inch heavy charge., 'tumid come down to the House and make lions concerning persons exactly opposite to what he (Mr. Lambton) had stated, who lived almost aMong them. and had mated the most diligent inquiry to he made into i heir conduct. He then ,described the contents of a let. ler lie had received from ,s person who had • few days before lwen present at a meeting of owners a coal-mines. where the fact of the collieri having arms happened to he discussed, but not one among them could affirm the fact of his own knowledge. He stated, however, that the colliers hail been pretty generally claesed. but that that was very much atoning. and that it hail prevailed among the colliers only, mid not among the smiths, or any other description of workmen. He never re collected any year in which the men were more anxious to work—he did not remember one idle day among them, but that of the meeting at New castle. 'sir. Lenibton proceeded to say that lie had also seen a Gentlemen from one of the villages to which lie had before alluded, in the House, who represented every thing there as perfectly quiet. This intelligence had been confirmed by another Gentleman from that county, with whom lie had very recently had a conversation. He had informed him, that many of the persona classed as radicals had left the classes. His Hon. Friend (Mr. Brougham) had suggested that he ought to explain what that classi ing meant. It only implied that persons formed themselves into parties of 20, who ebonite a leader to read a siew.pme r to them. purchased in common. He could nut allow the fact of classification to lie ally evidence against these persons; lie believed in his lieeritt it was done fur no other purpose but that of reform, and not to pass Agrarian laws ; and that they were as quart soul peaceably disposed as any description of his Majesty's subject.. Accordingly, he still adhered to his intention of proposing in the Committee, that the county should not be within the operation of the Act. He assured the Noble Lnrd, that in making these inquiries, he had been actuated solely by a desire of dissipating what he conceived a false alarm. Lord MILTON said. he believed there was no comiexion whatever between the colliers in North umberland and those in Durham. He lamented extremely that a Bill like the present should be proposed to be continued for two or three years, when it was in fact totally uncalled fur by the state of the country. Mr. El. Cues said, he had received a letter containing the deposition of four gentlemen. as to the state of certain parts of the county of Durham, and read the depositions. They stated, among other circumstances, that certain individuals had attended at a meeting (that of Newcastle, we be live) with arms concealed about their persons ; and that pikes and other offensive weapons had been made and distributed among the inhabitants of a certain place, the name of which escaped us. After a few words from Mr. BROUGHAM', Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he considered the state or the district had been sufficiently establish ed by the nature of the meeting at Newcastle, and was now confirmed by the admitted fact of the clas sification of the pitmen. He believed the House would not be disposed to trust to such legislators. He had seen it stated in a letter to an Hotinoutsble Member, that certain persons had been turned out of the employ of the lion. Gent. (Mr. Langton) for being classmen. It might be worth inquiry what there was in the classification which caused those who fell into it to be discharged from the service of so excellent a reformer. Mr. LAMBTON said, that the overbearing tone its which Hon. Members on the opposite ride of the House thought proper to indulge themselves a s s as well known, that scarcely any thing bearing that character was to be wondered at. It was too much to be taunted with the name of Reformer, and that by those who had never Tritiated to sheer themselves before Reformers, when it wits well known that he had gone among themouid fearlessly expressed sentiments diametrically opposite to theirs. and endeavoured to convince them of their errors. • Now, with re spect to the fact adduced against lain, he thought it required to be sheen, that there was no other reason for the discharge of the men but their having been classmen. Lord CASTLEREAGH knew perfectly well, that though the Hon. Gentleman might be a reforiser he was not a radical one, and inch an imputation could never have entered las head. He knew that he lied attended the radical meeting ut Newcastle. and manfully avowed his own sentiment., and la boured to convince them of their folly mid delusion. But he thought lie placed too much confidence in Diem, and he had mentioned a fact to shew that his agent did not look on them in so favourable a light: Mr. LAIIIITON wait', that after the explanation of the Noble Lord. *lnch no one had more the art of putting in a civil way. he could no longer believe that the Noble Lord meant any thing personal.

The Mendant. Mr. Clement, was a Geminating well known as the editor or prniirie; , .e Tke Observer newspaper, mist he (Mr. S.) would say of that publication, that he believed it to Le it most remectahle newspaper, awl conducted in such ti way as to excite very general hy t.tking MO part in political discuasion, but merely publish ing occurrences of the week for the information of his readers. The publication in which the alleged libels., which were the bubject of the present action Were contained, was not one of which the Drfrntlant meowed himself to be the proprietor, nlthungli it would be proved that lie was the swot of the pro printer. What share or interest lie had iu the sale of it was aot publicly announced,. nor indeed for the purpose of the present action was it firer/nay to inquire. The Jury were informed from the pleading', that she libels were published in Cachets's Political Resistor. There was once a connection between Mr. Cobbest Ind Mr. Wright. This connectioncommen ced soon lamellae form. r returned In his native rout, try from America, in 1800. When that gristlrmult came to England, he opened a bookseller . * alio!) us Pall-Mall, under the emblematical insigni• oh' t e Bible, the Crown, the Cushion. and the 11 1 1 with the loyal device of " Fear God and IliniaWr the King." Under such auspicious designating., Mr. Cobhett recommended himself to the pulth: as the publisher of literary works of the hight,t character. Under such circumstances, nothing was more likely titan that Mr. NN'right should anti cipate the moat advantageous result,. in twilit t.t . character and reepectability, from a eminrctimi with this gentleman. so anuotincing himself to wildly notice. Mr. Cohbett having thus established • self. sent forth publications which !anew - ed parity.. some of the best opecintemi of' style that ever adorned English literature. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read an ex tract from the Works of Mr. Cobbeit, of that day, to &hew the horror and contempt which the author entertained towards Pline. At Ibis petioal Mr. Wright formed his connection with Mr. Cub bett, which continued until the year 1810, duritt4 whielt interval the Plaintiff had been his most use ful and active coadjutor. in injuring forth the Political Registet and the Parliamentary lielmies. la 1810 Mr. Cohbett was tried and consirtrd a libel published in his Register, with respect to military punishments. On that occasion a negotiation was entered into by Mr. Culibi It with the Government, for the purpose of arrest ing the judgment that awaited him, on con dition of his dismntintoing the publication of his Register. Mr. Wright was his confidential agent upon that occasion, but the negotiation haring failed, Mr. Cohbett was sent to New tii cou sequence of this the Register proceeded; but is the mean time disputes arose between Mr. Cub belt and Mr. Wright, tit matters of pecooluy claims on the part of the latter. which tint hang after in open hostility. The negotiation alluded to having failed, it was an object wt. is Mr. Cohbett, for the preservation of Les publii: popularity. to keep that matter out of stew. Mr. Wright was the only depositary of this secret, except Mr. Reeves, a Gentleman of high character. through whom the application was mode to Mr. Primig!, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. This circumstances however, by some means was ill. vulged, and Mr. Cohbett attributing the c 11 111 1 l Me d . tion of it to Mr. Wright, published the libel on the 4th of January 1817. which was one of the subjects of this action. The libel consisted of a letter, p u tt.. halted in the Register, and was occasioned in coose. (poem* of certain observations published in 7 1. e Times newspaper of the day, concerning Mr. Col!. beteg application to Government to mitigate the sentence of the law. That libel. without naming M..
