Protect and bless and guide our Sovereign ; overrule the deliberations of our Ministers, and may they meet the wants and re lieve the sufferings of famishing thousands, in as far as human instrumentality can avail, by the removal of all restrictions that impede the free interchange and universal diffusion of the bounties and blessings of thy providence. Hear our cry in behalf of the widow and the fatherless, the needy and distressed, and may tender-heartedness and Christian love supplant in every bosom the unholy influences of selfish exclusive ness and temporary expediency.

THE ORCHARDS OF JERSEY.—The orchards in this island are very numerous and flourishing. They not only add much to the value of tho land, but present an appearance of wooded luxuriance highly pleasing. The soil is evidently well adapted fcr their growth, the trees being remarkable for their broad rich foliage, • their healthful appearance, and the 14. a of small b e aring wood they contain. The re under abundance boughs are also suffered to grow of the pruning hook are to be seen upon them. very low, so that no marks n some exposed - situations the trees ar e so densel y crowded th a t th e i r b ra nches are intermixed like a dus forest. Li tt l e sec l u d e d d a l es , and their sloping sides and irregular and waste-places, are here turned futo good account b y b e i ng l i tera ll y c aered with fruit l trees. The fences also in this island, which are mounds of earth four feet high, and of the same br eadth, are thickly s t u dd e d with out and elm trees, not so much for the usefulness of the timber as for the valuable shel ter they afford to the apple and other crops. Cy der is one of th e ' principal exports of the island, upwards of 2,000 hogsheads being exported annually', though it is not of first-rate quality, being sweet and deficient in strength. This arises partly from the light nature of the sun, and p ar l y from the soft qualities of the fruit. New sorts h ave o f late years been introduced from Pe , vonshire, and also from France and America. The 13!enheim orange, first propagated by Mr. Fletcher, late of Aston, near Moreton-in-the-Mar,h, has found its way thither.

PRICE 5d then rose, and said, that perhaps they would excuse him for saying a few words with respect to the statements relative to the Press. The whole of the Press had been blamed, whereas only a part had refused to give inser tion to the documents of the workmen, necessary to ex plain the striko that had taken place. He was one of the proprietors of the British Queen, and he and his partner had come there, and had brought a gentleman to report their proceedings, and insert everything that they could wish for, in order that the .public might judge for themselves whether the workmen were right or wrong. lie would say that he had been engaged in their trades' unions for a number of years. No ap plication had been made to bins to give an insertion to any document; had it been so he should have done as he had done several years ago, when he conducted the trades' newspaper. He had conducted the Morning Ad vertiser for 13 years, to which he did not then belong, and he had always evinced the greatest sympathy for the workmen, for he had been a workman himself. His parer had never been applied to to give insertion to the documents. He had come there at considerable expense to his health, and had brought a gentleman to report their proceedings; and if the Secretary would only furnish him with any document, their case should be fully given to the public on Monday morning.—(Hear, hear.) A WORKMAN asked Mr. Anderson if he would con tradict the statement which had appeared in the Weekly Dispatch relative to the ss. fine for chasing. Mr. ANDERSON said he would do so if the Chairman would contradict it before him. Mr. RAT said that was not the immediate question before them, they must consider the object of the meet ing first. He had worked with Allen when he was a workman at Messrs. Cubitt's for nine years, and during that time he was a leading member of the trades' union, and threw up his situation on a similar occasion to the present ; but he had now got the robes of office on, and he had changed into a tyrant. He begged to propose the following resolution ; " That this meeting fully justifies the proceedings of the masons who lately struck at the New Houses of Par liament, against the over b ear i ng an d tyrannical conduct of George Allen, and pledges itself to use every extr tion to procure them every necessary support." After a rather desultory conversation, the resolution, having been seconded, was carried unanimously. A discussion having arisen as to the cause and pro bable benefit to be derived from the workmen at Nel son's Monument, and at Woolwich, in the service of Messrs. Grissel and Peto, having also struck, Mr. It. ANDERSON entered into a lengthy statement of the case, and said that as Messrs. Grissel and Peto had done everything against the workmen they could, they thought that all striking at once was more likely to bring the matter to a close. Mr. Bust' then moved " that it was the opinion of that meeting that the Masons' Society was justified in calling out the members from Woolwich and Nelson Monument, in consequence of the unjustifiable conduct of their employers." This having been seconded, the resolution was carried. A discussion then arose as to the delegates holding a public meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and Mr. DUNNING moved the following resolution : That no public meeting be held until the report of this night's proceedings be given to the respective societies and returned to this meeting." After a very long desultory discussion, the resolution was put and carried, without a dissentient. After a short conversation, it was agreed upon that another meeting should be held in the same place, on Wednesday next, in order to receive the answers from the various unions. Mr. TIIO)IPSON was about to enter into their com plaints respecting a portion of the Press, when it was moved that as the evening had so far advanced the con sideration of the question had better be deferred till their next meeting, which motion having been put by the Chairman, and carried, the meeting adjourned at half past twelve o'clock. SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT, LORD CHANCELLOR. We find the following paragraph in The Sun paper •:eived by the last post. Our Learned Representative is about to reap the reward of his patriotism earlier than was generally expected. We hope our Tory friends will be on the alert. There are plenty of good berths about the Court of Chancery, and those who have booked promises of early patronage, should apply to Sir William instanter. We hope that they will not lose a single post. Every man who feels fit for a place, or whose circum stances a place would fit, should be on the alert, and not be advised to delay application by Sir William's agents—a personal application is better than a letter : and let it be recollected that Sir William Follett owes this Approaching Chancellorship, to that noble band the Conservative electors of Exeter. " Walk up," "be in time," should be the motto of every one of them. " APPROACHING LAW CHANGES.—II is currently re ported in the professional circles, that Lord Lyndhurst will relinquish the seals at the commencement of January Term, and that Sir W. W. Follett, the Solicitor-General, will be his successor. In connexion with this arrange ment, it is also said that Lord Abinger will at the same time vacate the Chiefship of the Exchequer, and that Sir Frederick Pollock will be his successor therein."— Western Times. WOOLWICH—FRIDAY. ROYAL. ARTILLERY. The Numa transport ship is ordered round from Ports mouth to Woolwich to embark Capt. Kendall's company, 4th battalion, to Barbadoes. It is expected Captain Morgan's company, Ist battalion, when relieved will re turn in the same vessel. One non-commissioned officer and eight gunners and drivers embarked from the Royal Arsenal on Saturday morning last in one of the General Steam Navigation Company's vessels for a passage to Dublin, to complete the companies at that station. Detachments to complete the companies in the wind ward and Leeward Islands will embark in the Numa, with Captain Kendall's company. Experiments were carried on at the Mortar Battery on Friday with an eight-inch mortar, and a shell having a fuze invented by Captain Norton, RN. None of the shells exploded, and it is therefore conjectured the fuzes were a failure. The Master-General has been pleased to appoint Col. Lacy, of the Royal Artillery, to be Inspector of the Royal Carriage Department, in the room of Sir John May, who resigns.. Captain Hope's company, with a detachment of Captain Stairway's company, Ist battalion, relieve the detach ment at Purfleet to-morrow (Saturday) morning. Capt. Hope and Lieutenant Shakespeare proceed with the (le tachment. VENING SUN. PROCESS FOR PURIFYING resultsattention of WATER. Professo r Cl ar k e, of the University of Aberdeen, having bentthe his i i i chiefly s el elaboration this rati o n a subject, nd Btu is d ' y ntl to w submitting the London:public, and on Thursday at two o'clock deli vered a lecture on this important subject at the theatre of the Polytechnic Institution in Regent -street. He proceeded to perform a series of experiments to elucidate the principle thus laid down upon various specimens of filtered and unfiltered water, which were ranged in large glass receivers about the lecture room. These specimens consisted of Thames river water in its foulest state, as caused by the late flood. The others were specimens of the Grand Junction, New River, West Middlesex, and Chelsea water companies, in the ready-littered state in which they are supplied to the houses of the metropolis. On the table before the Lecturer were also specimens of water, undergoing purification by a boiling process, in bottles placed over small fire-lamps. Our readers have already been put in possession of the new principles advocated by the Professor, -in an account of a lecture delivered by him at the London University, and reported in The Sun on October the Bth. The first experiments, also, on the present occa sion, viz., that of infusing quick-lime into the impure water, and disengaging the chalk, so as to cause it to sink in a residuum ; as also the testing of different spe cimens of pure and impure water by soap, these liming in effect the same as exhibited on the preceding occa sion, need not be reiterated here. The experimental novelties, if they may be so termed, on the present oc casion, only worked out, by a various method, the Lec turer's leading principle. Two bottles, ,the contents of which had been boiled the preceding day, were acted on by the Professor ; that specimen which had been submitted to the Lec turer's process had no deposit, while the other, of un purified water, had a thick deposit of powder at the bottom, was accompanied by a furred surface and, in crustrations, furnishing a clear proof that the chlo rate of lime was altogether a far more powerful and efficient purifier than even a violent boiling process. This experiment, said the Lecturer, furbishes abun dant topics for application to the routine of eur every day life ; in the multitude of domestic purposes for which water is used, it is constantly, as exhibited by this experiment, in this furred and hurtful state. But the evil is most greatly apparent in the case of •ur large manufactories. Professor Clarke here invited attention to a bit of copper tube, measuring a few inches in diameter, and which had recently been a a portion of a long pipe which conveyed, in a horizontal position, water of the same Consistency as that supplied by the River Companies, into a boiler located in another part of the manufactory. For a space of fme, not longer than six months, it bad con tinued to serve this purpose, and at the end of that time presented its present appearance, it being incrus ted internally with a thick coating of about two inches in depth of solid chalk, very much resembling indurated concrete stone. The same effect, observed the Lecturer, which is here evidenced in the case of the pipe, is exactly that which is daily happening to those who beat their houses and rooms by hot water. This is managed by means of pipes, which gradually obtain a lining of chalk, that prevents the heat from passing out, and defeats the intention of the plan. Again, in steamers for boiling, this incrustation of carbonate of lime is constantly occurring. In the case of tubes it is still worse ; oftentimes the action of the heat is alto gether restricted by these incrustations ; the tube then peels, it next forms itself into an oxide, its strength gra dually decreases, and at last it breaks. This is the most frequent cause of explosion in steam-boilers. The most noticeable effects of the Professor's new process, as recapitulated by himself, were these—its power of softening water ; its removal of the deleterious chalk ; the taking away of the fur which unavoidably accumulates in the boiling process ; its de struction of ail vegetable matter, and insectal life ; in addition to its clarifying and rendering almost perfectly pure this first of the elements of life. We must mot omit to remark that the specimen of the Professor's purified water which was ranged on a stand with the filtered specimens of the different Companies, was ab solutely diaphanous, and purely crystalline and colour less, compared to those at its side, which were various of shade, and of a deep discoloured hue. Before concluding, Professor Clarke begged to Gall the attention of the many scientific gentlemen who were present, as well as the rest of his respectable audience to some remarks which had appeared in the Examiner respecting his new process. The article which contained them bore the signature of " M.D.," but he knew upon sufficient grounds that these strictures emanated from the pen of Dr. Paris. The Doctor in this article bad assailed his pro cess ; but while he allowed that the broad principle ad vocated by Professor Clarke was chemically correct, yet he complained that the very agent employed to correct the evil, namely, quicklime, was,' by the operation, unavoidably left in solution with what he of fered as purified water, so that the remedy was actually as injurious as the disease supposed to be removed. Another stricture made by Dr. Paris was, that the murietes, which form a component part, of some conse quence in water, were by this process untouched. In answer to this, Professor Clarks said that the Doctor was bringing on him difficulties he had never volun teered to remove. Ho had offered to remove three fourths of the impurity, which he had electively done in the removal of the chalk, and more than this he had never offered to do. Another stricture was, that it was impossible to tell the exact portion of chalk in any quan tity of water, so that it could not be known exactly what quantity of lime to ore ; whence it mould arise that a quantity of lime would always be left is our water. Also, observed the Doctor, the quality of water varies from season to season, or rather from day to day. To this allegation Professor Clarke replied, that the variation in the state of water mattered nothing ; that every change in it was in every case easily ascertainable by chemical process, and that ten days in the laboratory would clear the most diffi cult point ; nay, that there were processes by which the state of water could be found out in a quarter of an hour, or even while the water was running past your house. Professor Clarke finally made reference to a printed volume, which appeared to contain evidence given by Dr. Paris before a Committee of the Reuse. The case cited was that of a family, all of whom had drank of certain water, and had become violently ill ; they ceased to drink of it, and partook of other, and gradually thereupon recovered. Dr. Paris was asked whether filtration in this case would have rendered the water pure, to whicb he answered that he did not know. He was questioned as to whether he knew of any remedy to prevent the e ffects of bad water, to which he answered in the negative. In fact, said the Lecturer, this little bit of examination proved in the Doctor no knowledge, but abundance of prejudice ; and after this, he suggested that his audience might judge how far Dr. Paris was fitted to criticize or make strictures on his discovery. _ - INSPECTION OF THE PRESENT STATE OF THE ROYAL NAVY. Orders hays been sent by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to the Chief Surveyor-General of the Navy, and the Governors of Deptford, Woolwich, Sheerness, Chatham, Portsmouth; Plymouth, and Pem broke Dockyards, to send in immediately to the Board of Admiralty a correct statement of the present efficient state or sea-worthiness of all the ships within their re spective dock-yards, after undergoing a careful survey as to their fitness for active service. It is the intention it is confidently stated, of the Lords of the Admiralty to reduce a great many of our small line-of -battle ships and 74-gun ships to SO gnu frigates, similar to the Dublin, Southampton, Pre sident, Vernon, Winchester, Vindictive, Warspite, &C'' so as to compete with those of the United States of America, F rance , A ustria, and Russia, which are fill e f large dimensions.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1841. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. 'ROM TIEN MORNING PAPER! OF THIS AT. CHRONICLE.—The affair in the Exchequer. Bills market, which we noticed yesterday, excites much atten tion in the highest monetary circles. Various rumours and conjectures are afloat as to the real nature and cha racter of the transaction. There is no question that it is one of magnitude, and the suspicion attached to it has not by any means subsided. Upwards of 200,0301. 4 . A . Spanish Stock was sold yesterday for money ; and it is understood that the whole of the bills on which the loans were made have now been redeemed. We are at a loss, lur,vever, to account for the rapidity with which the redemption has been made ; for it is nut likely that the money could have been lent for one day only, and yet the bills appear to have been redeemed within that short space of time after the affair was first noticed by the press. It is most desirable that the truth should be known, but we fear it will continue involved in mystery. We hear that about 10,0001. of Exchequer Bills 'were sent up for inspection to-day to the Treasury, and declared genuine. Yesterday was the last day for the repayment of loans at the Bank of England ad vanced during the shutting, and we hear there was a large balance left over. The borrowers have been dis appointed by the continued tightness of money, and un able to raise the means to repay their advances as they expected. The continued pressure so immediately after the relief which the October dividends were expected to afford in the Money Market is quite unusual, and, coupled with the serious decrease in the deposits and bullion in the Bank of England, shows - that there is an internal drain going on in the country. When the first accounts of the seizure of Pampeluna were received, we remarked that it was generally be lieved in the city that the secret of this foolish attempt to rekindle the flame of civil war in the Basque pro vinces was not untasteful to the wishes of France, be cause the new Spanish Custom-house regulations would come into operation on the Ist of November, which would put a stop to the valuable illicit traffic which the - Wrench have hitherto carried on with Bilbao and other towns, by importing, their manufactures into these pro vinces free of duty. We mentioned, also, that Espartcro had taken measures for placing Custom-houses along the French frontier to prevent a continuance of this contra band trade, and that French influence, and French money, had been put into requisition to frustrate this laudable attempt at fiscal reform. Subsequent events have fully confirmed the accuracy of the above. The Biscayan provinces have the right to receive various articles of French manufacture for their own consumption, free of duty; and, under the cover of this right, immense quantities of French goods are illi citly introduced into Spain, and the revenue of the coun try is thus deprived of a large sum annually. The Duke of Victoria was determined to stop this traffic, and the French were determined, if possible, to prevent him. For that purpose, therefore, amongst others, they se cretly encouraged and supported the recent foolish at tempt at insurrection under Diego Leon and O'Donnell. The result, however, has happily ended in defeat ; and as Espartero will soon have an army in the Basque pro vinces, he will be enabled to compel them to submit to the general laws of the country, and to be treated as an integral part of the State. Their fueros must be given up, sad French contraband suppressed by the enforce ment of an efficient cordon of fiscal officers along the frontier. The recent insurrection furnishes Espartero with excellent grounds for compelling the Biscayans to submit to such a change in the Spanish tariff as must pave the way for the completion of a commercial treaty with Groat Britain. TIMES.-- The holders of the " United States Dank" debentures arc looking forward with great anxiety to the election of the future Governor of Mississippi, as the Stock of that State is among the securities for the pay ment of the loan. The great fear is, that a Governor may be elected who will tread in the steps of Mr. AV.Nutt, whose office expires next January, in which case they have every reason to despair of those securi ties being of any value whatever. The conduct of the present Governor in repudiating the bonds of the State has, as has often been observed, done the greatest da mage to American credit, not only to that Of the single State, but of the Union generally. Finding such prin ciples as are avowed by Governor M'Nutt flourish in one part of the Union, the capitalists here are alarmed lest they may find corresponding sentiments in other parts, and any attempt to raise money here, even on the part of the Federal Government, would, in all probability, bo a complete failure. A Correspondent at Southampton complains that the letters from the south of Ireland, which used to be for warded via Bristol, and then sent to Southampton by the Portsmouth mail, aro now forwarded in the first instance from Bristol to London, the consequence of n hick is, that instead of their being received at Southamp ton at eight o'clock in the morning, as under the former arrangement, they do not reach there till between three and four in the afternoon. To the Southampton mer cantile houses connected with the Irish trade this delay is found productive of the greatest inconvenience, while, as direct means of communication actually exist, the grievance is felt to be completely without excuse. It appears that complaints have been several times laid before the Post-office authorities, but that on each occa sion no answer has been received more definite than that attention would be paid to the subject. SUN.—The tightness of money in the Stock Exchange to-day, the rate of interest for loans on Stock being 5 per cent., caused the funds to be rather repressed in the upward tendency they had previously manifested. Not that any absolute flatness prevailed, but simply that in vestments were generally made on terms giving what is called the turn in favour of the buyers. For immediate transfer Consols realized 87it to 88, and for account 881 to 881, closing steadily. Exchequer Bills were again at 10s. to 12s. premium, and_ East India Bonds Is. to 3s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 9711 to -1, and the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities at 87 to 86i. Upon the whole, the accounts from Spain were looked upon as rather more favourable, and the Active Stock got up a little, being marked at the range from 191 to 201. The other Foreign Securities were very dull. Bra zil Stock was firmer at 51/, Mexican continued heavy at 23f, and Colombian at 19. Belgian Bonds rose to 104 and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 511 to 51t. In the Northern Securities there were no transactions. For Railway Shares there was still but little demand, and Brighton, which hare recently been so depreciated in their market, value still " hung fire," being quoted 121 to 13 discount. Great Western New were 4+ ; the Fildis, 3+ ; Birmingham and London, 67 to 68 ; the ' Now, 21+ ; and the York and North Midland 28 premium. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares were 21 premium; and National Provincial Bank of England, -/ discount. There was a decline this afternoon in the Foreign Exchanges. The precise cause remains to be elucidated. Bills on Paris were taken at 25f. 70c. to 72f.; Amsterdam, 12 5 ; Antwerp, 12 32 to 1 ; llamburgh, 13 101 to 94 ; Frankfurt, 1494, and 'frieste, 9 50 to 52. THE MURDER IN EASTCHEAP.—From in quiries made yesterday of some of the friends of the late Mr. Burdon, the landlord of the King's Head, in East cheap, respecting the state of Mrs. Blakesley, the wife of the murderer, we regret to state, that she is in so bad a condition that serious fears are entertained of her ulti mate recovery. It was stated at the outset that the un fortunate woman was enciente at the time she was stabbed by her husband. A few days since, owing to the excite ment, which it may naturally be expected she has ever since laboured under, a miscarriage took place, since which event very unfavourable symptoms have appeared. She is still under the care of Dr. English, who daily attends upon her. The next Session of the Central Criminal Court commences on Monday. It is not as yet decided as to who is to be the public prosecutor in this case. The parish of St. Mary-at-Hill have refused, on the ground that they have no funds to appropriate to such a purpose. The Corporation of the City of London will not do so, on the ground of want of precedent—the last murder which took place within the City having occurred sixty years ago. Mr. D. W. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner inti mated also that the police have no money for such a pur pose, and Mrs. Burdon absolutely refuses. It is said that some of Blakesley's friends have at last come for ward, and that he is to be provided, at their expense, with Counsel of great celebrity. The King's Head still attracts a great number of people to view the scene of the horrible deed. The conduct of Blakesley is still very taciturn. He has, within the last few nights, been much disturbed in his sleep, and continually speaks of his wife. He frequently inquires as to her condition, and with that exception, never refers in anyway to the murder. He has written several letters to her and Mrs. Burdon, but, in accordance with the wish of the mur dered man's brother, Mr. Cope takes care they are not transmitted. Blakesley appears very sincere in his de votions, and pays great attention to the exhortations of the Bev. Mr. Carver, the Ordinary. WEYHILL FAIL—The sheep fair was held on Saturday last. The morning proved remarkably fine, and sales commenced early. The number of sheep penned did not exceed 65,000, being much less than on many former years. The prices asked were high ; after the first two hours, therefore, the sales were not brisk ; and at the close some pens remained unsold. The prices may be fairly quoted as under :—Down ewes, from 265. to 455. ; a few as high as 48$. ; Down lambs, from 20s. to 355. up to 40s. ; two-tooth wethers, from 343 to 435. There was a good show of h orses of all sorts. Many were sold on Saturday, and on Monday the larger two and three years old cart colts were purchased for the London trade. Fine hunters were eagerly sought after, and sold at high prices. The hop fair did not commence until Tuesday morning, and in consequence of the inces sant rain very few persons were early in attendance. The number of pockets grounded was 2,710 in the Farnham row, and 3,018 in the country row . T he growers acted on their usual principle, of holding out fir high prices lat the onset. Some small sales were made in the Farn ham row as high as 12/. 125., but we did not hear of a single sale in the country row on Tuesday. Wednesday prices and considerabl e b us i ness was done.

The following account of the trial of General Diego Leon, which took place before 'a Court-martial on the 12th and 13th, is given by the Madrid papers : " The members of the tribunal were Admiral Pio nisio Cepa; Major-Generals Pedro Mendez Vigo, Nico las di Isidoro, Pedro Ramirez, Jose Corti - iez, Jose Grases, and Brig a di er I gnacio Lopez Pinto. The pro ceedings Foannonced with the readine- of the preliminary examinations, which comprised the declaration of the prisoner and the evidence of General Puig Samper, Domingo Dulee, of the halberdiers, and other witnesses. The declaration of the accused was to the following effect:-11e admitted that he was acqua i n t e d with the plan which had been conceived of depriving Espartero of the Regency, but denied having given his consent to head the movement. Wh en t h e drums beat on the evening of the 7th, he desired hi s servant to fetch a hussar uniform, but without a sword. At half-past twelve he entered the P a l ace, where ho was, he confessed, received with acclamation by the insurgent soldiery, but he declared that ho replied to them, that they should reserve such demonstrations for Queen Isa bella. He had entreated the halbordiers to cease firing, he said, as that . was the o n l y means of i nduc i ng t h e troops to discontinue firing, and he was desirous of pre venting further al arm to the illustrious orphans. Not having succeeded, he proceeded towards the iron-gate, and even refused the escort offered to him by several • soldiers. At a short di s t ance he lost his horse, and re placed it by another, which he purchased of two soldiers of the Royal Gdard. At Colmener be resolved upon re turning to Madrid, and there ho fell in with the Hussars, to whom he surrendered. The declaration of the ac cused ended by his stating that he had gone to the Palace on the evening of the 7th, because it had for some time past been arranged with General Puig Sans per, that, in case of alarm, the different Generals in garri.on at Madrid should assemble at that rendezvous, and the latter part of the declaration was confirmed by General &Inver. Amongst the documents laid before the Court was a letter found in the pocket book of the prisoner, written and sign e d b y hi m, an d addressed to the Regent, informing hias that Queen Christina wished to resume the Regeeeir, and inviting him to renounce it, and thus prevent tlfteeeTisieieof blood. There was also an address to the chiefs of the armyin the pocket-book, inviting them to obey the authority of the Queen-Mother. The fiscal (or prosecuting officer) then addressed the tribunal, going through tare evidence, and represented General Concha as the ostensible chief of the revolt, and Leon as an accomplice.. He demanded, therefore, that both might be condemned to death. A religious silence was observed at this part of the address of the prosecuting law-efficer. General ItMeali addreeeed, the Court for the prisoner, but ins emotion w ee so grea t that he was scarce ly au dible. In giving the history of the young G e n e r a l then on his trial, he wept greatly. He described the life of Diego Leon as one of devotedness and glory, and contended that he was net one of the chiefs of the conspiracy of the 7th, and thitt there was not t h e . had sometimes seen an slightest proof of his having shown himself at the soldi e rs' quarters. Europe, said he, which amnesty granted even to the regicide, would shudder at witnessing the p un i s hment of death inflicted for a poli tical offence, and concluded by imploring the tribunal, if it found the prisoner guilty, not 10 pronou nce ca pi ta l punishment. G enera l Leon having demanded to he heard, he was brought into Court. He proceeded with great calmness of manner to the seat which was appro priated to hi m , an d th en addressed his judges. Ilp as serted that he was falsely represented as the chief Of the movement. "If this had beet tree," added he with a firm voice,—" if I had presented myself at the Palace at the head of the soldiers, my body would have been found in the midst of the brave Men who fell ; never would I have abandoned them ; never would I have been taken as a fugitive." At this portion of the ad dress of General Diego de Leon' There were several approving exc l ama tions. lie repeated his declaration that he had never consented to accept the title of chief of the insurrection, and observed, with reference to the circular which had been found upon him, that it had never been sent. lie had this circular and the letter to Espartero by him, he said, for the purpose of giving instructions from to the person who should be r e tuned by from Paris to receive them, as lie was resolved to take no part in the affair. The President Of the Court h av i ng observed to the prisoner that it wad his duty to apprise the Regent and the Government of the . plan of the con spirators, he replied that he himself was not thoroughly . acquainted with it. H e did not consider, he amd, that he was bound to be an informer; but he had twice at tempted to see the Secretary o f th e Regent, but could not meet with him. After the p r i sone t had done speaking; the Fiscal applied to the Court ler time to prepare his report, and tho Court rose. On there-assembling of the Court the sentence of death was pionounced by a majo rity of four to three, and the sentence was immediately transmitted to the Supreme Tribuinal of War and Ma rine. This tribunal passed nearly the whole night in deliberation, and eventually confirmed the sentence. The decision was communicated to the prisoner, who was ordered to prepare for death in twenty-four hours, un less the clemency of the Regent should declare itself in his favour." DISTRESS OF THE PRINTERS. The following is the address of the unemployed printers of London, to which we kiltittaYeSteiday : The Committee appointed by the unemployed printers of London to issue a public address, in appealing to their benevolence, to do so with full confidence of their sym pathy and support. It is calculated that at the present time there are upwards of twelve hundred unemployed compositors and pressmen, and many of them, with large families, are in an absolute starving state, Numbers of our worthy brethren have already applied for parochial aid, and, as the public must well know, from the present state of our Poor-laws, any assistance from that quarter but that of entering the union workhouse is denied; and we regret to say, that many honest and industrious mem bers of our trade have been compelled to submit to that alternative. The Committee beg to inform them that the sedentary occupation, and many hours which they must necessarily apply to their business, preclude them from any chance of obtaining a livelihood in any way unconnected with the printing business. And no class of men are sooner debilitated, with -.the loss of sight and paralyzed limbs, than your humble supplicants, which the noble and generous patrons of the Printers' Pension Society are fully aware of, frogs the reports of that Society. The principal cause of their great distress being • that of the numerous failures 4mong booksellers and "others connected with the printing business, also the little business done by Parliament in consequence of the un settled state of public affairs, the public must be aware that those are the chief sources frian which their labours are called into action. The generbus nobility and public, on a former occasion, in the ye rs 1823-6, having so nobly responded to the c a ll o f enevo l en c e i n th e i r be half, i the Committee have every reason to believe that in the present distressed state of the printing business a like sympathy will crown their efforts. This address, which • is signed by J. T. Gregg, the Chairman, and W. Dargan, the Hon. Secretary, announces that subscriptions will be received by Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., Birchin-lane, Cornhill ; Spoonef, Attwood. and Co., Gracechurch-street, London, blinkers ; also by Mr. Hodson, bookseller, 119, Fleetistreet ; Mr. Harrild, printers' broker, Great Distaff-lane, -Friday-street ; and by Mr. Lake, Three Herrings Tavern, Bell•yard, Temple-bar.

An alarming accident occurred in Brighton a few days back. A horse, standing in a cart belonging to a butcher in the Grand Parade, named Champion, started off at full speed, dashing amongst the carriages in the fashionable drives. The animal pursued its course for some distance round the town, and completely smashed the cart, b u t was eventually stopped without injuring any person. Yesterday Mr. Soloman, the chief officer of police, laid an information against Mr. Champion for leaving his horse unattehded.

THE STRIKE AT :THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. A meeting of the Delegates of the various Trades and Callings of London, took place last night, at the Craven Head, Drury-lane, " to take into consideration," as stated in the advertisement, " the present state of the masons employed at the new Houses of Parliament, and also to consider the conduct of a portion of the public Press relative to the above-named strike." At a quarter to nine o'clock the Chair was taken by JOHN WORTHINGTON, a 11115011, and at this time the room was crowded to suffocation. The CHAIRMAN said he accepted the office of their Chairman with great diffidence. He was extremely bO-ra lifted to see so numerous an attendance, as it would de monstrate to all, and to their employers in particular, that the working classes were entitled to the protection that was due to them. The present meeting might be designated the collective wisdom of the Trades of Lon don. He would now read for them the circular calling the meeting, and would then introduce to them Arm strong Walton, a mason who would declare the cir cumstances connected with the late strike. A n MSTRONG WALTON then came forward. Ile said many of them must be aware of the circumstances connected with the late strike ; but as there were some also who were unacquainted with them, he would briefly state the reasons for the course they adopted, and leave the meet _ _ ing to judge whether they were justified in so doing or not. The conduct of the foreman, Mr. Allen, was so harsh, intolerant, and tyrannical, that it was impossible to bear with him any longer. There were four distinct specific charges against Mr. Allen, and they had called on Messrs. Grisell and P e t o , an d on Mr. Allen, to rebut them, and prove them false if they could, but they had refused to do so. The first was that of a young man who was desirous of going to Manchester to bury his mother. That was a duty, they all would admit, which devolved upon every man of plying the last tribute of respect to his deceased parent.—(Hear, hear.) He made application to Mr. Allen for a fortnight's leave, not three weeks, as had been stated by Messrs. Grisell and Peto in their letter in the Times.—(Hear, hear.) That was refused him, and ho then asked for a week, that was re fused, Mr. Allen stating at the same time, that he might go down on one day and come up on the next. The young man had some affairs to settle in Manchester, and said it was impossible for him to be back in that time. Mr. Allen then said, in the most haughty and indignant manner, that he might take his chance of getting work when he came back, but he would not keep the job open for him or any other man. Tho men sympathised with him, and, after calling a meeting, advised him to go. He went accordingly, and at a subsequent meeting, it was agreed to represent to Mr. Allen that if the young man was discharged they would consider themselves dis . charged. The man who acted as chairman at that meet ing, with others, was positively discharged for daring to call in question that arbitrary conduct.—(Loud cheers.) The young man came back, and through their interfer ence he was allowed to go to work, but he was taken out of the shop and put to the worst sort of work, by way of punishment. The next charge was that of a man who had occasion to be absent two or three days. He was sent for to see his wife, who was dying, and got permis sion from the under-foreman to do so. He stopped to bury his wife and returned in three days, but when he did, Mr. Allen turned round on him in a manner which no one could justify, and said " he might go and die with her, and be d—V-s-(Cries of " Shame.") The next charge was that of a man who had his leg broken and was taken to the hospital. On his return he was not of course so nimble as before he met the accident, but he naturally expected some sympathy, but instead of that he was told in the most brutal manner that " he did not want any such d—d hobbling fellows there."—(Cries of " Shame.") Now, they were possessed of faculties and feelings perhaps as acute as Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and they could not sit down tamely and submit to these things.—(Hear, hear.) The next charge was that of a man who had been some days away from his work, and he could bear testimony to the cir cumstances himEe!f as the man worked near him. His wife had been sick for ten months, he had been him self six months ut of work, and living in the east end of the town, and having been for some time without the necessaries of life, he was in bad health, and had been obliged to stay away from illness. After the man had given him a fair explanation of the cause o f hi s a b sence from illness, inste a d o f being allowed to return to his work, he was told that he might go away as soon as he liked, for they wanted nothing there but sound men. It was just the way in which coachmen used coach-horses, get as much as they could out of them and then send them adrift.—(Hear.) 'They were prepared to prove those charges against Mr. Allen, but, notwithstanding this, when the strike took place at the Monument at Charing-crciss, and at the Woolwich Docks, - Messrs. Grissell and Peto stated that if any one could prove that any of there acts had been committed by Allen he would be immediately discharged ; and when a deputation ac cordingly waited upon these gentlemen, instead of acting like gentlemen, and investigating their truth or false hood, they refused to entertain them at all, and told the deputation that they considered they lowered their dignity by giving them a hearing.—(Cheers and a laugh.) There was another subject which had been misrepre sented by the Press, namely, that of a man having been fined ss. fur what was called " chasing ;" but no such fine had ever been imposed. Messrs. Grissell and Pero had distinctly told the deputation of the masons that the conduct of Allen would be better in future, showing clearly that there had previously been tyranny and un fair play. Now he thought it most unfair to get a man of great physical strength, and urge him to do a certain quantity of work, and then to go round to all the Men,' many of whom had worked for years for the firm, and to tell them, " if you do not come up to this standard, you must be discharged."—(Hear, hear.) He believed there was not one man of common feeling who was acquainted with all the circumstances of the case, who would vindi cate the conduct of Allen.—(Hear, hear.) The Secretary, THOMAS CARTER, at the request of the Chairman, then read the correspondence that had taken place between the contractors and the masons. At their first interview, it appeared that Messrs. Grissell and Pete - had consented to remedy some grievance of which the men had complained, with regard to their tools and the supply of water ; and, on that occasion, the Se cretary stated that they had acknowledged that Allen had acted unjustifiably, anti that his conduct would be better in future if the men would consent to return to their work, which they accordingly did. Every thing went on comfortably for about six weeks, when the same system of annoyance was renewed ; and another corres pondence took place on the subject. Having read all the letters, the Secretary a dd e d t h at a d eputat i on h av i ng waited on Messrs. Grissell and Peto since the strike, they had distinctly stated that if any body could prove the charge against All en , th e y wou ld di sm i ss not only him, but the best foreman they ever hail ; but when they went to substantiate these charges the contractors denied that they had ever stated anything of the kind. In short, they denied every thing that would tell against themselves.—(Cheers.) Mr. 31‘Dostaeo said it was a new feature in their meetings to see reporters there, and he hoped that, as the report of that meeting would go forth to the public, the gentlemen of the Press would use him mildly, as lie was one that could not boast of a very good educa tion.—(Laughter.) 'They had heard the correspondence read with respect to the conduct of Allen, and it only remained for him (Mr. M‘Donald) to again reiterate the justice of their strike, and to show the amount of oppo sition that was arrayed against them. They were all well aware that the strike then pending amongst the workmen lately employed on the Houses of Parliament had lasted six weeks, and during that time Messrs. Grissel and Peto had used every exertion to procure other men to fill their places. The man they had been under had harshly abused his power. The men who had been under him were a most industrious portion of the com munity, and had always conducted themselves well, and never failed to do their duty.—(Hear, hear.) That struggle was still pending, and would continue to bo so, until that scourge of a man was removed. He (Mr. M‘Donald) would turn their attention to the opposition thrown against them to prevent the attainment of their object, for which they were all so anxious. In the first place they were aware that the Press was against them. Mr. ANDERSON, of the British Queen—Not all. Air. M‘DosraeD said they could obtain inser tion in none of the papers of their statements. Further, a most powerful opposition had been made to them by the Government. It might not appear to them directly from the Government, but from various parties paid by the Government. The Commission of Woods and Fo rests were against them, and also the Admiralt7 Board. They had heard a letter read from Messrs. Grissel and Pete, stating that they would do anything to maintain Allen in his situation, and also to enforce a proper dis cipline amongst the inen.—(Shame.) There had been a letter, signed " Sidney Herbert," purporting to come from the Lords of the Admiralty, to Messrs. Grissel and Peto, and allowing them further time to accomplish the buildings. They were aware that the path they had taken was dangerous and was beset with numerous policemen and many difficulties, but he believed that the men working upon the new Houses of Parliament had steered clear of those difficulties.—(Cheers.) His (Mr. M'Donald's) opinion was that if the trades of London lent them their sympathy, and if they themselves would act together and united, they would ultimately obtain the point sought in spite of the opposition arrayed against them.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. ANDERSON hoped that the meeting would make the cause their own and unite with their oppressed fellow men, and that a fellow feeling would run through out the length and breadth of the land, which would enable them to carry the object of their struggle, an d i f they were only combined they would be able to carry that object. Out of the whole masons of Scotland they had had but five dissentient voices, therefore he trusted that the delegates then assembled would warmly enter into their cause. They must accomplish their object. The strike had then continued six Irks, and a mongst the workmen were men with families, and therefore ho hoped that as the expense vies great, liberality wou ld be shown on the part of the other unions ; and lie would say again, • that this cause was the cause of them all. The CHAIRSIAN then read a letter that had been ad dressed to him respecting the insertion of the statements of the workmen in several of the papers. - A _WORKMAN asked the Chairman to state what papers were. applied to. The CILLTMOT—That will come in order. M r . Ataws,6o . 4N, of t4q. British QiteetZ and Statesman', ROYAL ARSENAL. A casting of between 15 and 16 tons of brass took place this morning, in the presence of Lient -Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Major Chaltner, and a number of the officers of the Royal Artillery and their friends. The whole of the gentlemen cadets belonging to the senior or practical class studying in the Royal Arsenal were also present. The casting appeared an excellent one, and consists of eight 24-pounders, and four 12-pounder howitzers. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Siren, 16 gun brig, Capt. lirm:inlith (b), is ex pected to leave Woolwich on Tuesday next. The Charon steam-vessel, Second Master E. C. Rutter (act.), arrived to-day from Dover, and the crew will re turn with the Widgeon steam-vessel on Monday, the lat ter having had Tier repairs completed at the Woolwich Dock-yard. The Columbia steam-vessel, Master Commander B. W. Robinson, is to be paid off at Woolwich to-morrow (Saturday), the 23d inst. The Geyser, first-class war steam-vessel, is to be tried down the River on Tuesday next. Mr. A. C. Kerr has been appointed mate of the Heroine. From the following extract from a private letter it ap pears considerable activity prevails in the Government steam-vessel department in our colonies:—" On the 13th September a splendid new Government steamer, con structed by Mr. J. Tucker, Admiralty architect, was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Miller, Ed monstone, and Allan, at Montreal. The day selected for the launch was the anniversary of Wolfe's victory, and the bands of the 7th Hussars and the 85th Regiment attended, the latter on board the steamer, and played some favourite airs. Lady Routh having pledged " suc cess to the Sydenham," the name given tO the vessel, the ceremony of christening was performed by dashing a full tankard of royal champagne on her bows, and the launching of the vessel was effected by means of a trig acrer, so placed, that on pulling it it knocked away the og-shores, and she slid off the ways in the finest style into her new element, amidst the cheers of thousands of gratified spectators. me length of the Sydenham be tween perpendiculars is 170 feet, the breadth 27 feet, and the depth of hold 16 feet 9 inches. She is to carry two 68-pounder guns, and be propelled by two engines of 120-horse power each. On examining the vessel after the launch, it was found she had settled only one-eighth of an inch, a result highly flattering to the skill and talent of the architect."
