That money was to be paid by - Mr. M'Neil, on behalf of the Conservatives, and re ceived by him on account of the Liberals. He did not communicate the particulars of the agreement to any one ; he told Mr. M'Briar that an agreement had been made, and told him to take steps in accordance with it. Mr. BATES having applied for leave to summon a number of witnesses, for the purpose of enabling him to go into a case of recrimination, the room was cleared,. and upon our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN declared the Committee had unani monsly come to the opinion that the application of Mr. . Bates was premature, but that he might renew it at a future period ' • that it be understood, in case the Com mittee should accede to such application, Mr. Bates should be required to furnish to the agent of the oppo site party a copy of the charges, which he intended to bring forward, and the names of the parties implicated.

Mr. JAMES said that the first resolution having been put nto his hands, and his friend, Mr. Longman, having alluded to him as a person in some degree well informed on the very important subject which they on the present occasion were to consider, he would nt detain them long by any rhetorical address to them, but would simply state the facts of the case, after making a few observa tions on the resolution which he held in his hand. That resolution was a general one, asserting that the right of property in literary productions ought to be recog nised by all civilized nations. He believed that no man who considered the subject could in the slightest de gree doubt that literary property was as much property as any other possession, so long as it was recognised by the country where the author lived.

As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and althoug hl no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver t ising resorted to, yet 113 advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 38,5001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.

COX SAVORY, No. 47, Cornhili, London, seven door,. from Gracechurch-street. The niece of a respectable woman, living at No. 4, Passage de la Reunion, Rue St. Martin, committed suicide, on Tuesday last, under the following circumstances :—Some days ago the aunt was called into the country on business, and left her niece at home. During the absence of her aunt, the girl received the visits of several young men, which, however, inno cent, gave rise to observations among some of the neighbours, who threatened to complain of her on her aunt's return, which was daily expected. On Friday morning, the porter of the house, not seeing the niece stirring, long after her usual time, went up to her room to call her, and, receiving no answer, be came alarmed, and had her door forced open. '1 he poor girl was found dead, having produced suffocation by two braziers o charcoal. An instance of spontaneous combustion occurred a few days ago at Lille. Some coarse cloths, which had been used in cleaning the iron work of some machinery in a factory, and had thereby become saturated with oil, were thrown into a wooden box on the floor of one of the workshops, and hap pened to stand in the sun. Between nine and ten in the even ing a faint smell of burning was perceived in this part of the building, and, search being made, it was ijpund that these cloths had ignited and . were smouldering. Fortunately the dis covery was made in time to prevent any disastrous consequences. r n a r t y property g o h u t g a h s t a t n o y be e t c h e e n r s s i d p e e r e ed i es by e f foreignp roperty it should be no more subject to robbery—no more subject to be seized and taken possession of by a person, not the rightful owner, than other description of possession whatever. If a gentleman traielling in a distant country chanced to lose a diamond or any thing of that kind, if it so happened that a man deprived him of it, either by covet, fraud, or open violence, as a matter of course the law of the land was brought into operation against the person who so took the property of another—the pro perty, if found, was restored, and the person who had taken' it was punished. He (Mr. James) would then ask what could suggest itself to the mind of any one to make him believe that any difference in this respect ex isted between literary property and that of any other description? Was it because literary property was the production of a man's brain, and not of his field, that a person should be allowed to take it from him? He could not think of any reason for admitting of such laxity in the observance of the laws of property, except that in this case fraud was more easy. But could a man be thus in any wise justified in taking possession of that which he had not laboured to produce, and in making a profit of another man's industry. There seemed to him (Mr. James) no doubt whatever on this matter. He thought it was most clearly evident that it was for the interest of all nations, as well as for the in terest of morality, that a stop should be put to this prac tice. The state of this very important question at the present moment led him to say a few words on the rise of the present system. Very long ago, at the time when the literature of France was at its classical acme, certain publishers in Amsterdam and Geneva used to pirate the works of French authors. A great deal of noise was made by the French publishers about the matter, but in the claim tor protection which the French publishers put forward the French authors took little or no part. But they had a strong reason for not doing so. There was a system of censorship exercised upon the French press which prevented authors from making knowa their sentiments and opinions, except under very stringent re gulations. On that account authors did not claim pro tection either for themselves or for booksellers. They preferred seeing their works pirated and published without any profit to themselves to having their opinions crushed under the censorship of the French press. That was the cause of the great anomaly during the period of the re-printing of French works at Amsterdam and Geneva. The long war subsequently interrupted this traffic, but at its conclusion certain gentlemen in Paris fixed their attention on the literary works of Great Britain ; they resolved (to use their own phrase) exploiter les cerveaux d'autrui, and necordingly they took our works and published at a very cheap rate those which - had cost us much thought, anxiety,ondexpense, to produce, and that without any indemnification to the British publishers or authors. At first the matter seemed tolerably reasonable. They said (it was an Italian first commenced the traffic) that they only wanted the works for foreigners, but gradually they found a very lucrative trade among British subjects, not merely those happening to be on the Continent, but even in our colonies. and in our own country. Each day pre sented new facilities, and suggested new methods of car rying on the trade. Depots were established where they could most easily convey those works to England, which they did by various means, and in vast quantities. This trade was then taken up by America and Germany also, and it thus reached that extraordinary pitch at which it had now arrived, and which threatened to destroy, not merely the literature of England, but of the whole world. In America means had lately been devised of publishing whole British works of three volumes in the shape of a newspaper, of two sheets, which by means of a postage, merely nominal, was sent not only all over the Union, but into our Canadian possessions, the West Indies, and, in fact, all over our colonies. He (Mr. James), himself, had that very day received, in the shape of a newspaper, a work published in this country not six weeks ago. It had been sent over, by the Great Western steamer, from America. It was a work which cost him considerable labour to produce (for the work to which he referred was his own), and it was now being distributed all over the United States at the price of 25 cents, which he believed amounted to Is. lid. It was impossible to suppose that the practice thus exercised in America would not be brought into operation in other countries also, and the ultimate result would be that literature would be absolutely put an end to when works sold in one country for 11. 1 ls. 6d. could be sent over to that country from another at the price of Is. 1-A-d. The effect of the system was felt severely by those engaged in the book trade and paper trade. Printers, too, who would otherwise be employed, were in consequence thrown out of work, In France, the gentlemen who carried on this system to the greatest extent were MM. Brodie and Galignani. They had printed 380 British works, and other houses had printed about 100 more. Those works had a very large sale ; but, taking the average at 2,000 copies of each volume (reckoning every volume as weighing 11b.), the amount of British paper that would have been con sumed, were they printed and published in England, would be 960,0001b5., which would have returned a duty of upwards of 6,0001. to the revenue. But in America, where there hail been 26,000 copies of works reprinted in this manner, what must be the loss sus tained by the British paper manufacturer, publisher, and author ? This, then, was a question which ought to command the speedy attention of Government. He be lieved that Government was most anxious to do what it could in the matter ; and in referring to what Govern ment had done and was prepared to do on the subject, he must inform the meeting how these works were brought into England. Various means had been employed for that purpose ; but the two principal modes were slipping sheets of British works printed on the Continent between the leaves of foreign books imported into this country. As those books were imported in bales it was impossible that the Custom-house officers would turn over all the Continent,single copy and the result of any British leaves of each of the vast n umber of books in every bale. The other mode, was introducing. single co pi es . E ver y pas sengerwork published was allowed on o brithenga was, that this permission, which had been granted by Government in 1830, was the cau se o f large numbers of books of this kind being imported. Mr. James then referred to the Act passed on the subject in 1838, which had become a dead letter, but which he had reason to believe, would have been other enrio of Heidelberg,s ; one from M. and wise, if the late Lor d S y denham, with wh om he had communicated on the su b j ect, had not be en compelled to abandon the matter in conse q uence of his departure for Canada. He then rea d letters which he had received from the Continent, o n the q uestion of mutu al protection to various s h nations who was one of the dep uties to the Cha mber at Baden , which stated that it wou ld, above all th ings, be ',needful Winter i t i n t e t e r r a , r y t he property well-known . k i o n o it publisher that the English Government should diminish the great and unnecessary duty upon German books ; so soon as that was done, no further opposition might be expected from the German States. Another letter from M. Didot, the French publisher, gave a similar assurance. He then went on to say that, very little difficulty l a y in the way of settling the ques tion properly, and he trusted that whatever slight ob s!acles there might be to the attainment of so desirable an object, Government would remove them. How de sirable this was, must be evident to every one who saw the vast number of British works, published in this manner, by Mr. Harper, of New York. A Bill to give British authors protection in that country had been lately introduced into Congress by Mr. Clay, and for this, and many other reasons, he (Mr. James) ) thought the present the best opportunity of adopting measures on the subject in this country. The Bill was so short that be would read it to the meeting. (Mr. James then read the Act, and continued). Such was the state of the question at that moment ; and the object of Mr. Longman, in calling them together, was that they might determine what steps it was most desirable to take. He would not trouble them with one word of rhetoric, but he would earnestly urge them, both individually and col lectively, not to suffer the subject to drop, but to press the Government energetically, though respectfully, to adopt some effectul Pleasure fig remedying the evil. He urged them to this course by their love of country, and by their love of literature—aye, by their love of civilisation itself ; for they might depend upon it, that literature and civilization were united together in a bond, which could never be severed without destruction to both. —(Hear, hear.) He would conclude by moving the fol lowing resolution :—" That a right of property, in lite rary productions, ought to be recognised by all civilised nations." Mr. H. SMITH briefly seconded the motion ; which, on being put from the Chair, was carried unanimously. Lord W. LENNOX moved the following resolution : " That the disregard of that right, by the unauthorised publication of British works in foreign countries, ' has greatly tended to discourage and depress the book trade of Great Britain." Although he had scarcely been aware of the meeting more than half an hour before it com menced, he could not refrain from expressing his disap probation of the disgraceful system of piracy which was then being carried on in France, Germany, and other countries. In New York the entire works of Shaltspeare, in two volumes, and beautifully bOunk might be ob;- A t4WAqr the sum of Ds. 6d.---(Dear, hear.) All the rriedad-'works 4 'fietiOn works chiefly .used in colleges , and sch:solsi,, and every other species of publication, might there be•obtained for a very trifling amount. A vast number of works were brought over from France. He had offered to him the other day " Colonel Gurwood's Despatches of the Duke of Welling ton," which was published here at 11. ls., for the sum of 5 francs: That work had cost both Colonel Gurwood and the Duke of Wellington a vast expenditure of time and labour. By such a system the author was deprived of his fair remuneration.—(Hear, hear.) He would not further detain the meeting, as he could only reiterate ' what had been so well.expressed by Mr. James, in whose remarks he entirely concurred. Sir C. MORGAN in seconding the resolution said, there was one fact to which he wished especially to call the attention of the meeting, in reference to chemical and mechanical discoveries. It appeared that works on such subjects, which cost the publisher an enormous sum of money in wood blocks and engravings, were sent off and published in other countries at a very reduced price. Now, if such a practice were suffered to exist, it was evident that scientific productions would soon cease to be published in this country; no one would bring forward a work on science or natural history at an enormous cost, if he were not protected against Freq.— (Hear, hear.) This was not property in brains, it was mechanical property, and he hoped that as such it would be protected when the property of the brain was dis regarded.—(hear, hear.) The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. DicKeNsoN rose to move the following resolu tion :—" That this system, in acting detrimentally upon the publishing trade of this country, has most seriously interfered with the interest of the reading public, by limiting the legitimate sale of books, and rendering a higher rate of charge per copy necessary to meet the general expenses of publication. lie had that day received a communication from Mr, Warren, expressing his regret that he was unable to attend the meeting, but stating that he cordially con curred in the resolutions which he had seen in print, and he further stated that he was of opinion, that unless some decisive steps were taken, the interests of British literature would be permanently injured.—(Hear, hear.) They all knew that a great deal of time and labour were necessary to produce a good book, and an author of eminent talents, who devoted his time to the public, must, like every other man, be remunerated for his ex ertions ; and then the expense of the first edition was greater than that of subsequent editions. The altera tions were often very) numerous, and the book must be presented to the public in a shape which would render it acceptable. Now, of course the price to be fixed by the publisher must ~depend, in; a great measure, upon the extent of sale, and if the range of sale was small, the public must necessarily pay a higher price than they :otherwise would pay. In fact, under the present system the publisher had to impose an addi tional tax upon the public, in consequence of the defec tive state of the law.—(Hear.) It should be remembered that a vast amount of advertising was required to make a work known. So many things were there to occupy the public attention, that advertisements must be scat tered about in all directions before a work would become generally known. Was it right that the publisher should incur this expense in advertising the French or American edition of an English work, or that the punishment of this should fall upon that honourable portion of the public which bought the legitimate edition ? He thought they ought all to unite their energies for the purpose of removing this injustice. Mr. COLBURN, in seconding the resolution, said that if the present system of piracy were continued, he had no hesitation in saying that there would be an end of literature, not only in this country, but in every other. —(Hear, What was the object of authors in writing ? Was it fame ? It was 'true,' that , young authors— young aspirants, might be induced to write and publish with that view. There was Lord Byron, for instance ; but he very soon found out the value 'of his works, and he did not long continue to make Mr. Murray a present of them—(Laughter)—on the contrary, Mr. Murray had a hard battle to fight, and found it by no means easy to satisfy his Lordship.—(Laughter.) Did any one believe that Sir Walter Scott would have written one-tenth as many works as he had done but for the in ducement of money ?—(Hear.) How were publishers to pay authors if their sale was to be cut off, and the works which they published were pirated ?—(Hear.) As Mr. James had already stated, the number of copies printed on the Continent was ten times as great as the number printed in England. Was it possible that literature could flourish under such circumstances ?—(Hear.) He would ask Mr. James whether, if his first work had been pub lished under such circumstances, he would have been in duced to continue writing ? Mr. JAMES—Certainly not. Mr. COLBURN continued—Had Sir Lytton Bulwer published " Pelham" under such disadvantages, he ven tured to say that the world would not have been delighted with " Eugene Aram, " The Last Days of Pompeii," and " Rienzi."—(Hear. hear.) He hoped every gentle man in that room would exert himself to bring about a change. There was one point which he wished particularly to impress upon the meeting, namely the great difference in the price of books to the English public, in the event of the English publishers being able to supply the American market, the French market, and the foreign markets in general. He believed the price by that means would be reduced one-third. It was net till five or six hundred copies of a work had been sold that the profits commenced, and the vast sale, therefore, in other countries of printed editions of English works must greatly increase the price in this country.—(Hear.) Mr HODGKIN said before the question was put he wished to ask the respectable publishers present, whether it was not in their power, by imitating the Americanss the French, and the Germans, to produce works as cheaply as they were produced in other countries. Much had been said about the expense of the copyright and the expenses of advertising, but he saw nothing to prevent the British publisher from competing with the foreign pnblisher, For his own part, he was proud to hear that the works of his countrymen were being spread through Germany, France, and the United States. He saw no reason why the English publishers, by printing works in a cheap form, should not be able to compete with foreigners. If they told him of heavy expenses, he must say he thought they were not taking the most effectual means of getting rid of them. England was at present, the prey of a great system of high prices, and he thought that by exerting themselves, to reduce them, and so remove that evil, they would do more for England than by endeavouring to bolster up the prices of literature. Mr. JAMES said the matter appeared to him as plain as possible. He did not see how a man who paid a large sum for a book could possibly sell it as cheap as another who paid nothing.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. DICKENSON and Lord W. LENNOX, the resolution was put from the Chair and car ried, there being two dissentients. Mr. T. LONGMAN moved the following resolution : " That the means employed for smuggling copies of spurious editions into Great Britain and its dependencies are so artful, and the opportunities so great, that the most effectual remedy which can be applied to this evil appears to this meeting to be the conclusion of treaties with foreign Powers for the mutual recognition of literary property." He also presented to the meeting, letters which he had received from Sir E. L. Bulwer, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, and Mr. Sheridan Knowles, stating their regret at being unable to attend, and their cordial concurrence in the ob ject for which the meeting was called. Mr. BLACKWOOD having seconded the resolution, it was adopted by the meeting. 1)r. Tnostesosi moved the following resolution : " That, while this meeting feel most grateful to Go vernment for the additional protection which has been lately, given to literature, they cannot but view with deep regret the long delay which has taken place in carrying out the intentions of the Legislature, expressed in the Act 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 59, passed July 31, 1838, called The International Copyright Act." Mr. JAMES SIMPSON seconded the resolution, and if was carried unanimously. Mr. SPOTTISWOODE moved the next resolution :- " That having received assurances from the chief book sellers of France and Germany of their great willingness and d sire to see the security of literary property estab lished by treaty between Great Britain and their several countries, and also learning that a Bill with the same object is now before the American Congress, this meet• ing believes the present moment to be peculiarly favour able for bringing to a successful issue any negotiations on the subject of international copyright." The resolution having been seconded by Mr. J. BRIT. TON, and supported by Mr. BUCKINGHAM, was unani. nwusly adopted. Mr. POOLE proposed, and Mr. T.

BELFAST COMMITTEE. The Committee met yesterday at twelve o'clock, from the adjournment on Tuesday. A document was read by the Clerk, containing a de scription of a meeting of Conservatives, which was stated to have been held at Belfast on the 18th of June last, at which resolutions were passed to the effect that the Conservative party had heard with satisfaction of the arrangements which had been made by Mr. 111'Neil and Mr. Campbell, for the purpose of having the late election declared null and void, and that no contest should take place at the next election in consequence of those arrangements, but that one gentleman of each party should be returned without opposition. They ' also undertook to repay Mr. M‘Neil the sum of money which he had undertaken to pay the Liberal agent to cover the expense of the witnesses who had been brought to London. Lastly, as the late Members were entirely ignorant of these arrangements, they should bb held irre sponsible for the payment of this or any other sums. Mr. Emerson Tennent, who was present throughout the proceedings, as on the first day, applied on behalf of Mr. M`Neil, who was obliged to leave town, for permis sion to make some verbal amendments in the evidence he had given on Tuesday. The Committee, after a good deal of discussion, in formed Mr. Tennent that Mr. M'Neil might attend per sonally and give any explanation he might deem requisite. Mr. JOHN BATES, an attorney of Belfast, who has been appointed agent for conducting the -defence, was then called in, and immediately applied to the Com mittee for a list of the charges, a statement of the per• sons against whom those charges are to be brought, and a list of the witnesses by whom those charges were to be supported. Mr. COPPOCR, the agent for the prosecution, objected to furnishing the names of the witnesses. He did not object to the other parts of the application. The room was cleared, and, on being re-opened, the Committee decided that Mr. Bates should be furnished with a list of the charges, and of the persons charged, but that they could not grant the names of the witnesses by whom the charges were to be supported. Mr. BATES then stated a difficulty he felt about giving in the names of his own witnesses, as he could not be sure but a communication might be made of them to parties in Belfast. The CHAIRMAN offered to sign blank summonses, under the sanction of the Committee, the names to be put in afterwards by the agent ; or, if stated to him, he understook that they should not be communicated to any human being. After some conversation, the consideration of the point was deferred till a subsequent part of the proceedings. Mr. J. Campbell was then called, and stated that he was a flax-spinner and elector for Belfast. He had assisted in getting up evidence in support of the petition against the return at the last election. He acted for that purpose as one of a committee. The evidence was in support of all the allegations of the petition—persona tion, intimidation, and bribery. He came to London on the Wednesday the Committee met. A pT_epo.. al was ile made to him f or an arra ngement by Mr. e M nd IN to the expressed his an x iety to put an disorder and inconvenience attending contestredeteiolenctiwons a: for Belfast. :It was proposed , if the e declar e d void, that at the next one Inn o there ey should that b i n e t e n r o . fro contest. The only thing sai d h view, was a remark witnesses, that 2,0001. would hardly place them (the. L iberals) would have stood in bad they been dealt thirly with at sum he was out the last election. At an interview the neat day, Mr. AtiNeil asked him to state what was t he of pocket by the petition, u far u it had gone, 14e FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The inconvenience and injustice the t must arise from the operation of the Income-tax wih soon begin to be felt, and there can be little doubt that experience will bringtolil btah, the ostof m u e n a f s o u re re seen Igrievances that will be inflicted al luded to. Besides . the palpable evil s that obviously flow from the very principles of, the .obnoxions im post, there will be found an immense 'number of oppressive cases springing from the practical appli cation of the new Act, which it has been „impossible to anticipate. Though the coming event had cast its gloomy shadow before, it is only when the Income-tax begins to • tha t • substance of those disagreeable • - • presented themselves to the it !i - 4.';- 4 140. - c‘c; 'brought sensibly home to' he feeli • ,nity. As long as the measure was st tk e r:;TlN - f!#. , lion, the Government, who had staked' dent o 'CI - • existence on its success, used every means in their power to persuade the people that the scourge—for such it is on all hands considered—should he admitshi tered as tenderly as possible, and that them should be no greater inconvenience inflicted . on the public than might be actually neces sary for the due collection of the Income-tax. But now that the Premier has obtained his object, the official tone is greatly altered, and the Impost will evi• dently be collected with a high hand, so as to give as little trouble as possible to the Government, without regard to the amount of inconvenience that the public will be made to suffer. Among the numerous an noyances, the prospect of which is already dawning upon the nation from the quarter in question, we have to notice that which will be suffered by the holders of shares in public companies, who stand a very good chance of having to pay an In come-tax twice over for the same property, and in some cases being made subject to the impost when the amount of their income is below the sum upon which any tax is payable. It has been announced that the directors of public companies will be held ac countable for the tax on the dividends paid to share holders; and as it is very possible that a party may hold a share in a profitable concern, though his entire in come may be less than 1501. a-year, he will have to pay a tax upon it in the first instance, which he can only get returned to him by a very tedious and troublesome process. It may very reasonably be pre sumed that persons of limited means will, m many cases, not have the time at their command to obtain the restoration of the money that will be wrongly withheld from them ; and even if they do take the required steps—as it is an admitted axiom that " time is money"—they will be robbed of as much at least as they could earn in the, time devoted to re covering what will have been unjustly withheld from them. " A bird in the hand" is said to be worth " two in the bush ;" and this saying will apply with peculiar force when the hush, into which the bird has got, happens to be a thorny and inaccessible hedge planted by Government. What we mean by our illustration is this—that where two sovereigns may be wrongly deducted from a person's income, it would in most cases be better worth his while to put up with the loss of ore, rather than be put to the trouble of obtaining the two from official clutches. We feel to lerably sure that scarcely a week will now pass with out adding some fresh reasons for discontent to the amount of public odium already manifested towards the Income-tax. STANDARD.—Last night's proceedings seems to us fully to justify the appointment of the Committee of Inquiry, because they show—first, that such a Committee is not necessarily repugnant to the princi ples of justice ; secondly, that it is fully competent to elicit the truth, if with the truth its members will content themselves. That the Committee has abused its opportunities is not to be denied ; but that it has been able to do so is the consequence of the ignorance or timidity of those who have submitted to it. if wit nesses and parties had in the first instance declared that they would not enter a secret inquisition, the Com mittee, it is now plain, must have thrown open its doors. Mr. Roebuck's plea of delicacy is conclusive of the fact that sect* is not necessary to the suc cessful prosecution of the inquiry confided to him mid his brothers of the Committee. The Commit tee, then, as first appointed, was a proper step, and the tyrannical usurpations of that 'body, whether perfected or attempted, cannot make that now wrong which was originally right. Now, first, as to the secret tribunal—Mr. Roebuck says that he solicits secresy merely for the . sake of the wit nesses. Do the principles of British law—do the principles of eternal justice, warrant this extreme tenderness to witnesses ? We sqe nothing of it in our Courts. We see witnesses there not only com pelled to give their evidence in the face of the accused, but subject to a severe cross-examination by him, or by his counsel. And we know that no man's life, or property, or honour, can be safe, if he is to be tried upon the evidence of witnesses veiled and guarded. Even in the reign of Nero, while yet any vestige of the forms of old Roman liberty remained, we find that the accuser must confront the accused. "It is not," said Festus, " the man ner of the Romans to condemn any man before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself con cerning the crime laid against him." This, mark, was the Roman manner, even in Nero's time ; but it is too liberal for Mr. Roebuck's Committee "of Public Safety," we had almost called it. Passing from the Roman law, let us come to the law of our own country. " This open examination of wit nesses," says Blackstone, " viva race, in the presence of all mankind, is much more conducive to the clear ing up of truth than private and secret examination before an officer or his clerk, where a witness may frequently depose that in private which he will be ashamed to testify in a public and solemn tri bunal. There an artful or careless scribe may make a witness speak what he never meant," &c.; and again, " However convenient these (other tribunals) may appear, as, doubtless, all ar bitrary powers, well executed, are the most conve nient—yet, let it again be remembered that delays and little inconveniences ,in the forms of justice is the price that all free nations must pay for their liberties in more substantial matters." It would be, however, burning daylight to multiply proofs that the law of England abhors secresy in the administration of justice. There' is but one precedent for it, and that is the object of two centuries' detesta tion—the Star Chamber. Mr. O'Connell himself must be contented with this, for the Star Chamber, and all such unusual tribunals, are condemned both by the " Bill of Rights" and the ," Petition of Right:" But we are to console ourselves for the erection of this monstrous tyranny by the assurance that Mr. Roebuck is very courteous, and that the Committee are unanimous.
