FOR THE SUN. THE CONSTITUTION.-(LETTER V.) Eorroa—lt ought not to be thought ex traordinary that the common people should be easily seduced by Republican notions. They Call - not properly be blamed themselves. So inseparable from human nature is the love of importance, io- Finence, and power, that it must be impossible for them to escape the snare, it laid with any art. Temporary distress, whenever it arises, adds an other powerful stimulus to these propensities. The desire to escape from evil is restless and im patient ; and, as the populace cannot at all cal probabilities, any kind of change appears to them to promise hope. of amendment. All this is natural and unavoidable. The vile and detestable wretches are they who study to turn these natural feelings to the advantage of their own base interests, who are not all the dupes of their own false arguments, but use them on pre tences still more false; who have no regard what ever for the people, but to make them the tools end, instruments of their ambition ; who know that they are uttering lies, when they talk of bet• ter times, once known to our Constitution; and who abuse the existing Government, be it what it may, only in the hope of being enabled them selves to govern infinitely worse. That such men cannot be effectually checked in the very opening of their career, is a real defect in our Laws ; nor shall we ever be long secure of public tranquillity till that power shall be somewhere safely vested, so as not to be abused. I will not deny that there may be one or two persons, grown old perhaps in rooted and invete tate prejudices, who really think in their hearts That a Republic is a better Government than any Monarchy. These we can so far excuse, as not to rank them with the designing Demagogues.. lint when we consider that they have not only the example of our glorious Constitution before them, but also the dreadful contrast of the short reign of Democracy, in a former century, we can not hut profoundly pity their wretched and hope less del'nsion. But the general feeling of the Country is in direct opposition to then). Recollect, Sir, when the watch-word was given by a real Patriot, in the memorable year 1793, to associate for preserv ing LIBERTY and PROPERTY against RErur.LicANs and LEVELLERS, how prompt and simultaneous vas .tbe effect through all the.extent of the Em pire! How quickly names were enrolled in every city, town, and vicinity, and in what astonishing numbers, of men ready to run every hazard in that most glorious cause ! How willing to offer their property or their persons for this honour able purpose Recollect, Sir, how, from this great and spontaneous movement, in which the Govern ment did not stir a finger, arose the idea of vo lunteer services, which afterwards was carried to such a glorious extent Sir, the general spirit and feeling of the Coun try are still the same; for the eyes of men are not put out. They know, as they did then, the hor rible consequences of Republican and Levelling Doctrines, and still more of Republican move ments. It is anxiously to be hoped, that the rash and desperate Agitators of the People will not bring it to a contest ; but, if they should, their contusion is just as certain as their present de linquency. Let them tremble for the consequences. The %vise and steady friends of our free Monarchy, the only Government in the world that ever se cured true freedom, know to what they have to trust. Their trust will be in the Laws as they stand, and in the wisdom and the spirit of such men as the first SOMERS, CHESTER, ASSIZES. HARRISON, THE PREACHER OF SEDITION. ClititlTEli, SEFT. 6.—This day it was signified to the Conrt, that Joseph Harrison wished to ad dress the Bench relative to certain proceedings connected Ivith his trial. The Court intinediAtely expressed its willing ness to hear Mr. Harrison, and he appeared at the bar. Ile observed, that when he addressed the Ctiurt on a former occasion, and applied for g copy of the indictment, it wits then his firm in- Psmtion to proceed to trial to-morrow (Tuesday). On referring, however, to the indictment, which .w,ts of unusual length, he found that the eight counts which it contained differed materially from each other, and particularly the last, which charg eti hint with inciting the people to take up arms, iintl t r ey wsr against the King. 'l'his was false and g . ,roundles ; and being thug taken by sur prise, he felt it his imperative duty to state to the Cow t his unfitness to go to:rial this Assizes, and therefore prayed that he might be permitted w traverse till the next Session. The Attorney-General said, lie was astonished at such an application, at such a time, on the very eve of the day fixed for tl,e trial, 'l'be defendant actually waved his tight to traverse, and soli cited that his trial might nt, w take place, and his ret l uest had been acceded to as an indulgence.— Wolk what propriety, or tvith what claim, be ap plied now to be put in the same situation be was in on Friday last, he could not tell. However, he would leave the application entirely in the dii cietion of the Court, and abide by its suggestion. The Court certainly coniolered the application extraordinary. After a little consultation, the aNdicatiou of ihrrison wag granted, and he was admitted to traverse and 111 r.

MANCIJESTER, Sc T. 7. Mr. 1-Tarmer and Mr. Denison, of Liverpool, at tended at the New Bai ley Court yesterday, with several persons who had received sabre wounds at the Meeting of the 10th ultimo, in order to apply for warrants against the persons who had inflicted such wounds. Messrs. Harmer and Denison re mained in the Court above an hour. The hour of attendance for the Magistrates is usually at 12 o'clock, but no Magistrate whatever appeared yes curday. Messrs. Harmer and Denison, accompanied by several persons wounded on the 16th ult., asain appeared in the New Bailey Court, at 12 o'clock this day, and on their appearance, the two Ma gistrates, who were on the Brach, one of whom was Mr. Norris, immediately withdrew. Alter a lapse of two hours, Mr. Norris returned and took his seat on the Bench, accompanied by Messrs; Wright, Thuller, Mtirryet, and Fletcher. The Court refused the warrants on the part of those cases which the Grand Jury decided upon. Mr. Harmer then applied tor warrants on other cases, which were not before the Gland Jury. The Magistrwes postponed entering into those cases„tintil the prisoners in the dock should be disposed of. Mr. Lees, a manufacturer, of Oldham, died at halt past one this rimming. in consequence of a sabre wontol which be received at the Meeting of the Mit ; and a Coroner's inquest on the body will take place to-morrow, at which it is expected Messrs. Harmer and Denison will attend, and produce evidence illustrative of all the transac tions connected with the Meeting. Several persons who witnessed all the proceed ings of the 16th are understood to have been summoned to attend this .inquest.—(Morning Chronicle.) (3AI‘IE DATE.) Mr. Campbell, the Special Constable, did not receive the &cattail irjuries, whici4 cost him his life in the Infirmary yesterday week, on the me morable day of the Meeting, but on the foll o wing, day, Tuesday, when he was attached by a brutal party of the rabble, in Newton-lane (in which neighbourhood he resided), and was abused with a ferocity that would have shamed the wildest savage. A publican and his servant are accused of some share in the barbarous transaction : but as the Inquest, which com menced on Wednesday, has been adjourned to the 16th instant, purposely to have the best infor ma ion upon the subject, we shall forbear front in serting their names, as it is possible they may be able to shew that the charge cannot be maintained : they have, however, been apprehended, and con fined in the New Bailey prison. The unfortunate gentleman, who was a pensioner, agreeable to his request, was interred with military honours, on Thursday last, at St. John's Church, a company of the 31st Regiment attending for the purpose, in the presence of many deploring friends and a large concourse of spectators. A young, man named Edmund Dawson, of the age of 19, who came out of Saddleworth, died on Tuesday—he had received a sabre-cut in the head on the 16th tilt. near St. Peter's Church. An Inquest was held upon him, before John Milne, Esq. Coroner, on Wednesday last, which was adjoin ned to the ensuing Saturday, when a verdict was returned :—" Died by a sabre wound ; but how deceased came by his death there was no evidence before the Jury."—(illanchester Mercury.)

We mentioned in a former publication, that two brother), of the above name, had fled from Stock port tinder the foregoing charee. We are happy to find, that through the vigilance of our Police, 'lnd the kind co-operation of the Magistrates of the County of Down, one of them has been taken. The following are the circumstances which led to his apprehension : The Prince Regent's Procla mation issued, and the Magistrates of Stockport were no‘vearied in their exertions to trace what route these men had taken ; at length it was dis covered they had proceeded to Ireland, on which Mr. Manning, the Chief Peace Officer of Bank street Division, received a letter from Stockport, with an accurate description of the M'lnnis's, and that they were natives of the County of Down ; this he transmitted to the Rev. Holt Waring, a Magistrate of that County, who communicated the same to the Marquis of Downshire, as also to Robert ficere, Esq. by whose exertions this man was taken into custody, and his arrest communi cated to Mr. Manning, who instantly procured a warrant from Stockport, which he had backed by Major Sirr, when on kVednesday night last, Mr. Manning was dispatched to Downpatrick Jail, and on Ftidoy evening returned with his prisoner, whom he lodged in the Head Police Office, and proceeded on Saturday to England, to place him in Chester Castle, to abide his trial.--(Dublin Journal, Sept. 6.)
