FOR THE SUN. MR. EDlTOR—Permit me to send yon the rela ll°ll of a circumstance whieb, in addition to the hundreds that have already come before you, Proves that a speedy REVOLUTION is expected in this Country by the clamourers for RADICAL RE' kORm. Happening, a few days since, in passing through °tie of the principal streets of the metropolis, to tome its contact with a person with whom I had been on what are called "speaking terms" about twenty years ago, after the usual intercbang,e of civility, the late occurrences at Manchester very . speedily formed the topic of our conversation, but With very opposite opinions on the subject.-,- I soon discovered this person to be a most undis guised Jacobin, glorying in the late Rebellious Ileetings of . , the People, and anticipating an al- Most IMMEDIATE REVOLUTION in the Country ; end, seemingly, to convinceme of his own sincerity, and to open a distinct view of the ulterior designs of himself and party, he actually bad the effrontery, just before we parted, to question me on the ,side 1 should espouse in the event of public commo tion• On promptly giving bins the only answer that my duty prescribed, be assumed a most fero tinus determined appearance ; and although we W ere in a public crowded street, and within the bearing of a dozen persons at least, he instantly and loudly expressed the wish of very soon hav ing the opportunity to run me through the body ! ! ! °l eaping, beyond all question, when he should be 111 the Rebel ranks.—At this daring enunciation o f his lawless wishes, I was struck with astonish • 'lent and horror, and tore myself from such bad "mpany in an instant. Shoultl this Letter come under the observation of the man, whose daringly expressed auticipa ti°rll of RSBELLIEIN I have endeavoured to record, I take the present opportunity of telling him, wh►cil I was not in a frame of mind to do in our last to nversation, that I hold his political principles ill abhorrence, and the Sunday Newspaper, with lt ilich he is connected, in equal detestation for the ihfidel and Jacobin spirit with which it is eon ilucted.

OOf Correspondents are nume rous, loyal, and able ; and if the public feeling were correct, those Correspondents alone ought to secure to your Paper en extensive and affectionate patronage. But among all the Political Writers in your Paper, or in any other, have not seen one who takes up the subject of Politics as I would wish to hare it taken ; on the highest and most import ant ground—the ground of ItaLloroN. They sup pose, probably, that the weakness of the poblic stomach would reject such strong meat ; and, as it has been too successfully taught that Politics ought not to be admitted into Sermons, so neither would it be allowed that political discussions should have in them any tincture of the sermon style. But, Sir, among the highest duties of MD are his political ditties, and if he is never to be told what true Iteligion pronounces concerning then), the most important part of the whole sub ject must always be 'omitted. What is policy may be argued rightly ; but what is duty must remain unknown. Temporary and party politics may be remotely or not at all connected with Re ligion, but the broad and general principles must there be laid, or they will be founded on the sand. It is indeed the just, and I fear almost the ex clusive praise of your Paper, that it never fails to combine the Church and the State, as they are pro perly united by the Constitution. To you, there fore, Sir, who are the animating spirit of the Pa per, I address myself with confidence, in the en deavour to put these things for once on the pro per footing ; and to show, what clearly may be shown, that many of the practices in which Bri tish Politicians habitually indulge theinselves,7are such as they could not possibly employ, bad they not first either abandoned or forgotten their reli gious principles. I shall demonstrate that, while Reform is the cry, the people are continually 'mote and more, not demoralized only, but (if I may hazard another new term) de-religiouized also, by the conduct of many, by whole example they are ever powerfully influenced. I address these considerations to you, conceiv ing, and I believe justly, that you will not only receive them, but with pleasure give them circu lation, as congenial to your own feelings, and corroborative of your own perceptions of the truth. On those who never bad religion, or in these distempered times have ceased to have it, I am not so vain as to imagine that I can make the least impression ; but I am not one of those who, even in this respect, are inclined to despair of the public weal. Notwithstanding the indefa tigable exertions, and hitherto unexampled inso lence of At heists and Deists, I believe the general feeling of the Country to be religious. Not, in deed, agreeing in all opinions, but sufficiently united in the fundamentals of Religion to feel that its plain and positive precepts ought to be obeyed ; and that whatever grossly contradicts those pre cepts, ought not to be permitted in politics any more than in morality. Let not your Readers, however, suppose Unit I am about to supply your Paper with homilies.* I have no such intention, but mean only to point out some bearings of religion and policy upon each other, which appear to me to have been too generely forgotten, or overlooked, HOOKER. • We know the learning., piety, and rectitude of this Cor• respondent too well to suppose that any thing he can write will not be highly ac,:eptable to the Public.

FOURTH EXAMINATION OF MEAGHER. (From The Times.) " The Court met this morning at 10 o'clock, ac. cording ►o the adjournment. Mr. RALPH WRIGHT entered Court at half-past 10, and Edward Meagher was put to the bar. Mr. ATKINSON, addressing, the Magistrate, said, " I an) sorry to state that many of my witnesses will not be present to-day, in consequence of being threatened if they attended. I arts extremely sorry to bear that the Police is in some measure concerned in this affair, and that those witnesses examined on Saturddy last have been threatened. I wish much to protect them from these insubs. The poor woman, Elizabeth Leigh, has been grossly insulted by one or two of the officers of the Police." Mr. WRIGHT_Yo❑ bad better not bring for ward any charge at present. It any one has given any obstruction or abuse, they shall be punished. Mr. ATKINION— . My witnesses will not attend. Mr. WRIGHT—Your best way would have been to have brought your witnesses here. Mr. ATKINSON---1 hope some steps will be taken in consequence of these insults. Mr. Foucxes—l really think Mr. Atkinson should not be allowed to deal out this general slander against officers of the peace. It is highly indecorous and •improper. It Mr. Atkinson has evidence, let his witnesses be called. On the pare of the prisoner, I disclaim any thing of the kind alluded to. Mr. Baer:tow—So I ►lo distinctly. Mr. FOULKES—I challenge Mr. Atkinson to the proof. -' Jui] Bradbury was the first called by M r . At kinson.—l live at No. 71, Porfer-street, and am a watchman. .1 belong to No. 11 district. 1 was out on duty on Saturday, the 2d of October, and heard the report of a pistol about half past twelve on that night. I was then about forty yards from whence the pistol was fired, where the pi sorter lives. A woman was speaking to me, and asking, " In the name of God, what is to be done ?" I went round to Brazennose-street, and the second pistol was fired while I was in H street. I proceeded to the bottom of Brazennose street. The people increased by the firing of the pistol. I saw Nadia there, and he dispersed the crowd, I saw the head of the prisoner throngis the window, after Mr. Nadin had ordered him to open - the door, and the people dispetsed. I saw no kind of tumid( more that night than another before the firing the pistol. 1 was in ouch a si tuation that 1 could see well. Cross-examined by Mr. FOULKES.—I could see the tumult iu Deansgate. I was in Queen-streer, which runs out in a parallel line with Brazennose street. I was 40 yards from the prisoner's house on the same side of the street. I was going my rounds then.—l bad not that night been in Mrs. Leigh's cellar. When that happened I had not seen her. After this she gave me threepence for calling her up that night. (A plan was here shown to witoess.) I was nearer Deansgate than the end of tinkle-street. I went wood instead of comiug immediately to the place where the pistol was fired, because I was going my rounds. My te gular round is to go half down Queen-street and up again. Although a watchman, I did not go immediately to the place where it was fired. I did not know what might have been the conse quence of if. I did not immzdiately spring my rattle, but 1 did afterwards. Although a woman said to me, " Good God I what is to be done," I did not go immediately to the place. (The plan was then shown to the Magistrate) Mr. FOULKES (to the Magistrate.)-1-lere, Sir, I will show you he went round 200 yards. Examination continued.—'!'here were three other watchmen besides myself all upon our rounds. One was at the corner of Brazennose street. Mr. Nadir some time afterwards told ma and the other watchmen to do their duty. I and Mrs. Leigh are not intimate. She gives me threepence a week for calling her up and het children, Examined by the MAGISTRATE--. 1 could Hot see the front of Mengher's house. There were prrsons standing opposite to the house after the firing. MAGISTRATE—After the firing ?—Yes. Cross-exatuntirtion continued—Your attention was drawn to the place by the filing ?—I cannot tell what happened before the firing. I had not been in Queen-street fire minutes. 1 came down I - luline-street, and down Brazennose-street. The woman who said " Good God, what is to be done ?" lives in a cellar in Queen-street. I don't know either the number or her name. Examined by Mr. ATKINSON—Have you had nothing said to you as a threat ?—Yes, at about a quarter before one o'clock this morning the watch and ward were coming— Fout.xEs here interrupted the witness. I think this testimony should not be received; it is not quite fair. Mi. WRIGHT—You had better take the regular coarse, and not introduce the matter here. ATKINSON—Very well, Sir; that is your pleasure. Air. WRIGHT—Yes, Sir, it is. The next witness called was George Wroe.--. I live at Salford, and am a painter. 1 ant a watch man, and go on one side 13razennose-street and. Ridge-field. On Saturd►►y, the 2(1 of October, i was on duty, and I saw the prisoner about twelve o'clock in Deansgate, at Spinningfield-end ; there were one or two within three yards of him. John Longworth, another watchman, was with rar ; Longworth is now ill in bed ; 1 last saw him on, Sunday, he was then in bed. Slimily after see ing the prisoner, I observed he was talking, but I did not know what he said. Longworth told . _ the prisoner to go home. Shortly after, about a quarter of an hour, 1 heard the watchman's ratfle. When i saw Aleagher at first, there was nothing. like disturbance in the street ; nothing more thatt in general. It was about the time of slotting up the public-house, and many people were coming out. There were some people in the street, buc not near the house. Cress-examined by Mr. BAnuovr —I am cousin o Air.
