STEEPLE CHASE FOR 1,000 SOUS. This greet match originated in the Sweepstakes run for at St. klban's last week. It will be recollected that Mr. Elmore'; loonraker came in first, and Mr. Evans's Grimaldi second by bout half a length. So confident were Mr. Osbaldeston, Mr. ,vans, and several others, that the latter would have won if a ittle more use had been made of him, that in the course of the ame evening the first-named gentleman gave Mr. Elmore . - )01 o match for 500 sous. each ; the horses to carry 11 st. 71b. each, .nd go four miles across the country ; it being understood, al hough not specified, that Mr. Osbaldeston would ride Gni naldi, and Mr. Seffert Moonraker. Harrow was fixed upon as he quarter in which the four miles were to be selected. The natch immediately became the engrossing topic of all the Porting classes at Tattersall's and elsewhere; speculation was irisk, as each of the horses had proved himself to possess qua. ifications of no ordinary stamp. The snatch was fixed to come 'ff yesterday in the neighbourhood stated. Accordingly, at an early hour, the little town of Harrow was actually taken by itorm—carriages, gigs, and horsemen flocked in from all guar :ens, Insomuch that stabling and refreshments were speedily at premium. About twelve o'clock it transpired that.tlie urn sires had selected Mr. Copeland's rick-yard, near tho seventh rnile-stone on the Harrow-road as the starting, and a field oppo rite Mr. Hawkins's house at Harrow Weald as the coming-in soint. Harrow was very shortly afterwards at a discount, and sy one o'clock Mr. Hawkins's farm received an increase of live stock much greater than he could either have wished or expected. And here had many hundred persons to wait from a little after me till nearly six o'clock in a muddy field, and a damp cold sir, either of them sufficient to generate a " predisposition" to cholera. While waiting in this agreeable neighbourhood we were enabled to ascertain that the line of country selected by , he Umpires was far from satisfactory to the Moonraker party, u'd, in truth, it was singularly deficient in what is generally considered to be the sine qua non. of a steeple chase, viz.:— Fences there were very few, and these so insignificant that any active man could have mastered them without much difficulty ; at least so we collected from all those who had taken the trouble to go over the ground ; there were two brooks of a similarly " practicable" nature. In fact, if it had not been for the dreadfully heavy state of the ground, it ought to have been called a race, not a steeple chase. In this point, as well as in general details, there was none of the tact and good manage ment discernible in the St. Alban's affair. Except to sporting men it was tedious and disagreeable. The start was appointed to take place at two o'clock. It was four, however, before any symptoms of the race discovered themselves, and then they were deceptive, for the riders rode into the winning field without either Moonraker or Grimaldi ; their object being to examine the ground, &c. ; and on this subject there was some wrangling, Mr. Osbaldeston conceiving that his antagonist had been rather too particular in his geographical observations. Mr. Elmore complained that there were no fences, and that the ground was short of four miles ; and Mr. Osbaldeston offered to bet 500 even that he won. After a long delay they re turned to the starting point. The betting was of a very indefi nite character—sometimes even, then 5 to 4 on Moonraker, and at one time 6 to 5 on Grimaldi, so that it would be no very easy matter to say which fairly had the call. It appeared to us, however, that at the start Grimaldi was taken for choice, owing, no doubt, to Isis party looking upon the line of country as unfavourable to Moonraker. A little atter five o'clock the horses started, Moonraker leading at a stiffish pace for at least three miles, or perhaps three miles and a quarter, at which time Grimaldi was pretty well up with him ; they were now on either side of a field, Mr. Seffert on the lett ; they went at a fence at the same time, Mr. Osbaldeston on Grimaldi keeping straight as soon as he cleared it. Mr. Seffert turned short to the left, and went through a gate which was standing open ; he soon discovered that he was out of the right line, and had to take a fence to get into the field he had just left ; by this Mr. Osbal deston hail gained at least a hundred yards. Mr. Seffert made a vigorous effort and got up with Mr. Osbaldeston, but his horse was by this time beaten almost to a stand-still, and could not stay with Grimaldi, who was going at a good pace, and was still comparatively fresh ; in short, the Squire (as Mr. Osbaldeston is called) now had it all his own way, and won very easy by fifty or sixty yards with his whip in his mouth and with his cap in his hand. Moonraker was terribly dis tressed, and would certainly have been more so, and with less chance of success, if, as Mr. Etnore seemed to desire, there h ad been more fences ; it is equally clear to us that Grimaldi was better jockeyed than Moonraker. Mr. Osbaldeston has had many years' experience in the field, and is more competent that( any man we know to take advantage of circumstances in going across the country ; his riding was admirable. The match attracted many of the higher classes of sportsmen. We observed on the ground the Russian Minister (Count Matucewitz), Lord Errol, Lord Grimston, Lord Clanbrook, the lion. Colonel Anson, Colonel Peel, Hon. T. Brand, and several foreigners of rank. It was nearly dark before the majority of the spectators could get from the ground. ,INOTHER ACCOUNT. At the last preliminary view being completed, the riders and their partisans returned to Mr. Elmore's farm, again show_ Ing their skill or clumsiness in their progress ; and here it is due to state, that in the most difficult leaps the palm of superi. ority was deservedly given to a young lady, whose graceful seat, perfect confidence, and unshrinking courage, often put her followers to the blush—blushes which were occasionally hidden by that natural paint of which the surrounding ditches afforded abundance. At length the important ceremony of weighing took place, and the horses were sent to the starting_post. Mr. Osbaldes ton had but little to add to his ordinary weight, to the stipu lated amount of I Ist. 71bs., while Mr. Seffert had nearly six teen pounds of "dead weight" attached round his loins in belts. Both wore silk jackets and jockey caps, but it was considerably after five o'clock before they mounted and prepared for the race. In the interim the whole line they had to take had been marked by flags at convenient distances. The dusk of evening, with a slight fog, had supplanted the previous brightness of the day, and many had actually quitted the ground, giving up all hope of their promised amusement. At last the word was given, and off went the competitors at a slashing speed. Moonraker took the lead—Grimaldi, as had been previously announced, rode by Osbaldeston, waiting close upon him. About a mile and a half from the starting-post, Mr. Seifert, after taking his leap, swerved towards a stile, but again cut in making an angle. Mr. Os baldeston, on the contrary, kept the direct line, and, we believe, accidentally came in contact with Mr. Seffert as he again took up his straight running. We are informed that Mr. Seffert com plained of this, and exclaimed, that whatever was the result of the race, lie should mention the fact. He then went on, still waited on by Grimaldi, till within half a mile of home, where, after crossing a fe nce , he went towards a gate, expect ing to get a more direct line for the destined gaol—while Mr. Osbaldeston quickened his speed, and dashed straight forward. Mr. Seffert found he was mistaken, and again got into the field with Mr. 0., who had, by Mr. Seifert's error, got nearly a hundred yards a-head. Every nerve of Moonraker was now urg ed to its utmost to regain the lost ground ; but from thence forth her chance was lost. Grimaldi got the lead, and kept it several lengths a-head—and in coming through a gap in the corner of the last field, his success was put beyond a doubt. Moonraker followed, evidently much distressed, but incapable of additional exertion. Mr. Seifert held his whip in his mouth, and, with both hands on the bridle, seemed rather to support than to push his steed ; and seein g Grimaldi cross the " rubi con" he pulled up--Grimaldi being pronounced by general ac clamation the winner. Such is, as far as we were enabled to collect, a sketch of this interesting struggle. Grimaldi was very little distressed, and, in shortly after crossing the field to reach the road, made two clever leaps. Both riders and horses then proceeded to a farmhouse close at hand, where the former were weighed with scales and weights which had been br•ught for the purpose. Here all was pronounced " right," and Mr. Osbaldeston received the congratulations of his friends on his success, as well as their well-merited applause for the sportsman like style in which he rode, A DINNER. All parties, as by previous agreement, next returned to Mr. Elmore's farm—towards which the horses were led and here, on the umpires being called forth, Mr. Seffert preferred his complaint of having been ridden against by Mr. Osbaldeston, and appealed to Mr. Osbaldeston whether that had not been the case. Mr. Osbaldeston, we understand, admitted the fact, but stated most distinctly that he could not avoid it—it was perfectly accidental, and solely arising from the angle which Mr. Seifert had made. _ . Mr. Elmore, as we are informed, said he had no desire to make a wrangle, or to object unnecessarily to the stakes being given up ; nevertheless, as his rider had made the complaint, he wotdd leave it in his hands and to the umpires to come to that decision which seemed to them most consistent with justice to all parties. The stakeholder having heard both sides, said lie deemed it necessary to hear further evidence, and, before he gave up the ! ta kes, to submit the question to the Jockey Club. From this itw ill be seen t h at t h e i ssue o f t h e race i s s till i n abeyance; but th e general impression is, that as there was nothing inten bn'.iai in the co l l i sion complained of, an d per h aps equa lly a tt r i• butable to both, the victory of Grimaldi must be confirmed. NEW CHALLENGE. 13 e the result of the reference to the Jockey Club what it on may, bef ore the p arti e s separated, a fres h c h a ll enge was g i ven the part of Moonraker, to run Grimaldi over the same grounu again for 3 00/.—a proof, at least, that the confidence of his owner is stil l unshaken. From the impossibility of our being in every place at which the events we have described occurred, we were necessarily obliged to trust to others for some of our information : but w e have'reasor to b e li eve cur sketch will be found circurnstan. • tially correct.

To the spectators the dap was fatiguing and vexa tious, and general complaints were made of the want of that regularity which the importance of the match demanded. Among other distinguished characters noticed on the ground were—the Earl of Errol, Lord Grimstone, Colonel Peel, the Hon. Colonel Anson, Colonel Charitie, the I-lon. Mr. Brande, L. Charlton, Esq. and a long list of the Patrons of the Chase and the 'turf. ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS. proceedings, which he produced and read them over to the Court, and they were taken down by the Judge. A report of what Mr. Harland read over would fill seven or eight columns in a paper, consequently, we are unable to give them. It ap peared from them that a good deal of inflammatory language was used on the occasion ; and he identified Curran, Ashmore. Broadhurst, and Gilchrist, as being on the hustings and utter ing such language. The witness underwent a slight re-examin tion, but it did not, however, affect his evidence. Mr. Richard Cooper, reporter to the Manchester Courier and Herald, sworn.—Attended the meeting, on the 26th day of Dec., at Camp Field. Saw Ashmore, Curran, Gilchrist, and Broadhurst there. Did not see any of the other defendants ; heard no speeches ; attended the meeting of the 22d of January, at St, George's Fields ; heard Broadhurst say what good would it do to hang the unfortunate men of Bristol, it would do more good to hang the judges who tried them ; they ought to bring those who caused the outrages to justice; he hoped the people of Bristol would not remain satisfied until they had the life of Sir Charles Wetherell ; he ought to be hanged on a gallows as high as Hainan ; judges ought to be cool and calm, which Lord Chief Justice Tyndall was not, for when lie was leading counsel against him (Broadhurst) he displayed great rashness and passion. Cross-examined by Broadhurst—Took no notes of the meeting ; did not think the meeting of sufficient importance ; had given tiscis7anireason for not taking notes, when before the magis. trates-; did not then say that be was afraid to take notes, be cause he sari his (Broadhurst's) eye upon him ; had said that he thought it prudent to retire when he saw his eye upon him. Mr. Emanuel Murdell said, that he was at the meeting of the 29th, and took Pollard. He identified the others as being present. James Whitely another special constable, said that he was also at the meeting of the 29th, and he heard Maskill, Gil. christ, and Lomax, each make speeches. Mr. L. T. Gaskill sworn—Attended a meeting in Manchester, on Sunday, the tt2d day of January, and saw the prisoners, Ashmore, Cusran, and Broadhurst there, who addressed the meeting ; Broadhurst, in the course of his harangue, alluded to the Judges who tried the criminals at Bristol, and said that society would be benefited the more by the Judges being hanged than the criminals. The men who were condemned to suffer, he said, were driven to desperation by the conduct of Sir Charles Wetherell and the Duke of Newcastle, and that he hoped the people of Bristol would never remain satisfied until they had hanged the rascal, Sir Charles Wetherell. That the King must see the policy of granting the prayer of the petitioners ; if he did not, the people must act and legislate for themselves. In allusion to the Magistrates of Bristol, Broadhurst said that they ought to have beets put upon their trials. Witness heard Ashmore make a speech, in the course of which he made some observations upon the recent fortifications of the Man chester New Bailey Prison, and said that with two hundred men as resolute as himself he could shake that bilding to its foundation, in spite of the bird-cages and pepper-boxes. By Mr. ARNOLD—Did not take notes of the speeches; was about to do so, but some of the people used threatening language and he left the hustings Ashmore might be speak ing in joke when he alluded to the pepper-boxes, but he ap peared quite serious. By the prisoner Broadhurst—Recollects meeting Nathan Broadhurst in St. George's-road on the 29th. Never denied to him being the writer of a report of the meeting of the 22d of January. 'Was not disposed to have much conversation with Nathan Broadhurst on that day, but wished to get away from him. The report appeared in a London paper of the 24th of January. Told Broadhurst if there was anything stated in the report that Was not correct, he had better apply to the Pro prietors of the paper in which it was inserted. Is not paid a sum of money to give evidence in this case, but expects that all expellees will be paid for coining down from London, and perhaps a recompense for loss of time. By Mr. WlLLlAMS—Received a subpoena to attend thdse Assizes to give evidence, or should not have come. is an un willing witness. By Broadhurst—Has been an auctioneer. Reports for seve ral newspapers, and has been a reporter probably five years. The report of the meeting of the 22d was matter chiefly from memory, perhaps two or three hours after the meeting; but will swear to the substance of that report being correct. Re collects the procession which greeted Mr. Benjamin Heywood's return to Manchester after that gentleman's election as Mem ber for the county, but did not apprehend any danger from the 'number of people assembled either for personal safety or that of the town; nor did not feel alarm at the meeting in Camp_ field, which was called by the Boroughreeve and constables. Attended the meeting on the 28th of November, but was not afraid. Was alarmed at the meeting of the 22d January for personal safety, in consequence of the language used towards witness by some persons present. Recollects a meeting in St. George's-fields previous to the meeting of the 22d; it was pro posed that the reporters be ducked in the next pit.—(A laugh.) Knew that a vote of expulsion was passed against the reporters at that meeting, but is ignorant of the causes that led to it. By Mr. ARNOLD—Was the only reporter who ventured upon the hustings on the 2.2c1 of January ; went to the meeting with Mr. Cooper of the Courier office (Manchester), but left him in the body of the meeting; lodged with Mr. Cooper in Manchester at the time of the meeting; Mr. Cooper and witness did not write out their reports together. Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the householders of the parish of St. Martin's was convened last evening, at the British coffee-house, to consider the propriety of adopting or voting for Sir John Cam Hobhouse's Bill or Vestry Act, intended to be brought into operation in the parish, in contradistinction to that of Sturges Bourne's Act adopted in a parochial vestry in January last. The meeting was numerously attended. Dr. Bainbridge in the chair. Mr. SIMPSON adverted to the recent adoption by the parish of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, and protested against any other Act being adopted till the effects of that were fully tried and proved. He moved " That that the rate-payers of the parish having determined on the adoption of Sturges Bourne's Act on the 24th of January last, this meeting, concurring in the deci sion'of their fellow-parishioners in vestry, will forward it by all lawful means." Mr. Richardson seconded this resolution. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Bruce, Bowers, Pitt, and Pouncey—and in a more elaborate manner by Mr. Wilde ; but it was ably supported by Mr. Robert Fenn and others, who made such au extraordinary exposition of the malpractices of the Select Vestry as to illicit frequent outcries of " Shame, shame tie, fie!" And in ridiculous allusion to an expression of Mr. Wilde's, they frequently called out " These are the honest men :" It was subsequently resolved, neither to vote for, nor against the adoption of Sir J. C. Hobhouse's Act. CAMBRIDGE ASSIZES, MARCH 13. (RECEIVED THIS MORNINC.) The business in the Criminal Court terminated this even ing. A number of cases were tried during the day, but none have ended fatally for the prisoners. A case •f riot and assault, connected with the administration of the Poor Laws, excited a good deal of interest. There were four male and one female prisoner indicted for riotously assembling and assaulting a man named Unit, who is a deputy overseer in a parish in this county. It appeared that this Unit had attended at a meeting of the offi cers of a neighbouring parish, to which he was invited for the purpose of contracting for the parish—" for the labourers (he said) as well as for the paupers." A great ferment bad been created in the parish in consequence, and the deputy overseer was attacked, the doors and windows of the houses in which the meeting was held being first broken, and Unit dragged out, and pelted out of the parish, hooted and execrated. He stated in his examination that he was so ill used, that he was com pelled to keep his bed for three days.—The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, but recommending one of them to mercy. Another case of assault, connected with the above, was next tried, the two defendants found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment andhard labour. The JUDGE then ordered the defendantsin the first case be fore him, and after addressing them at some length, sentenced Harradince, who had been recommended to mercy, to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and the others to twelve months' and hard labour. The instant that Harradince, (who is a decent looking young man, and a shopkeeper) heard the sentence, he fell, as if shot, at the bar, and remained for some time terribly convulsed. The shrieks of the young man and his mother for several minutes were very affecting. He was removed from the Court with some difficulty in this con vulsed state. Two charges of child-stealing were brought against a young woman, but they could not be sustained, and she was acquitted. Previous to the rising of the Court it was announced that a true bill had been found against Unit ',the prosecutor in the riot and assault case), for an assault committed on a young woman previous to the riot for which he prosecuted. LANCASTER ASSIZES.-MAR( 12. (RECEIVED THIS MORNING THE MANCHESTER AGITATORS. This day the trials of Robert Gilchrist, James Moskell, George Lomas, Thomas Faux, Henry Pollard, Nathan Broadhurst, William Ashmore, and Edward Curran came on in the Crown Court, which was crowded to excess. Lord Melbourne, who had been subpoenaed, did not appear, in consequence of the at torneys for the Crown, to save his Lordship the trouble and ex pense of travelling, admitting all that his Lordship could prove, viz, the presenting an address to his Majesty from one of fh Sunday meetings. The charges against the prisoners were embodied in three counts, and the indictment stated that they, the defendants, did, on the 2`2d and '.!9th of January, with divers other persons, to the number of 1,000 or more, conspire to disturb the public peace by inflammatory speeches, and otherwise to excite the subjects of our Lord the King to insurrection and insubordina tion, and to subvert and overturn the settled institutions of the realm. This charge was comprised in:two counts ; the third was for tumultuously assembling to disturb the public peace. The Attorney-General, Mr. Pollock, Mr. Coltman, and Mr. Wightman conducted the case for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL , opened the case for the pro secution, and stated that he would, as shortly as he could, ex plain to the Jury the heads of such evidence which would be adduced in support of the charges against the prisoners ; and in stating this, he should endeavour to conduct himself with all due moderation. In the performance of this duty, he should not attempt to trench upon any point, that the history of the country, or the condition of the times, had rendered debata ble ground. The nature of the evidence which lie should ad duce, would, he had no doubt, satisfy them that the object of the defendants, as they had exhibited them, was to excite in the minds of the people dissatisfaction to the present Govern ment, under all or any modifications of it. That was the line and course which his observations would take, in opening the proofs which he was about shortly to state to the Jury. The Jury were no doubt perfectly aware, thation the 21st day of Nov. last year, his Majesty thought fit to issue a Proclamation, which was directed against associations then in being in this county, to:which the Proclamation distinctly allude to, and specifically mentioned. That Proclamation was published in London on the 21st of Nov., and it must be taken for granted, that it would reach Manchester on the 23d, and, in addition to the publication of this Proclamation in the Gazette, he should prove that the authorities of Manchester caused printed copies of it to be plentifully distributed and placarded about the town. This Proclamation having arrived on the 23d, on the .2Sth, not a week from the date of its publication, a public meeting was called by placards, to be held in Camp-field, in Manchester. An adjournment of this meeting took place to the 26th Dec., and a meeting was held at that time pursuant to such ad journment. On the 22d of January, another public meeting was held in St. George's-fields. In the mean time some trials had taken place in another part of the country under special commissions. The calling of this last meeting, was made generally notorious by placards. The meeting was adjourned to the 29th of January, as would be proved. In the mean time between the 2 - 2 d and the 29th, the Magistrates of Manchester conferring with the authorities who had witnessed the impres sion and the effect produced upon the inhabitants by these meetings, and particularly upon persons who had property for sale in shops and other places, and thinking that the avowed objects of the meetings, and to language used, were clearly illegal, and tended to the subversion of the Government in all its forms, thought fit to issue a notice, warning all persons from attending the adjourned meeting. It was, however, held ; and at it the first five named defendants were taken into custody. Broadhurst, Curran, and Ashmore were subsequently appre hended, the two former in London, where they had gone as witnesses for Mr. Hunt in an action for libel against a public newspaper. Having given the dates of these meetings he would now turn to the avowed objects of them on the face of the placards themselves, and the Jury would see that the public meeting of the Zd of November was said to be for the purpose of making a declaration of rights, and also to choose one or By Broadhurst—Never received a letter from the Editor of The Sun newspaper in November last, desiring him witness to attend the meeting of the `X,th of November, and to take down every word uttered by the speakers ; never said that he had re ceived such a letter, and never mentioned such a circumstance at the William the Fourth, in Manchester. —......- John Cooke, a special constable, said that he was at the meet ing of the ‘29th ; saw Faux on the hustings. In about three minutes after I got up there were several bricks thrown; and I saw Faux with his hand in his breast, under his great coat ; searched him, and found the dagger produced. He was shout ing " Down with the Church and King !" when he was taken. Did not see Curran or Broadhurst there. Mr Stephen Lavender is deputy constable of Manchester ; saw the placard calling the meeting of the 28th of November ; the placard produced is the same he saw ; was at the dispersion of the meeting on the 29th. Cross-examined—lt was possible that they might have dis persed of themselves quietly, but the inhabitants of Manchester were much afraid of the meeting. Curran and Broadhurst were brought on the outside of the coach from London, chained to gether. Dr. BROWN, on behalf of the prisoners, contended, at some length, that a charge of conspiracy could not be substan tiated against the prisoners; that the object of the first meet ing was merely to frame a Reform Bill, to be submitted to the Ministers, and which only went a little further than Ministers wished. The Sunday meetings he defended, as being legal, having been called for the purpose of petitioning his Majesty- The proclamation of the 21st of November did not apply to those assemblages. Mr. ARNOLD followed on the same side. After which Nathan Broadhurst commenced an address to the Jury in his own defence, having declined to avail himself of Counsel,—in the course of which he denied having used the ex pressions in the sense imputed to him by the witnesses. He felt confident of a verdict in his favour by the Jury, and intimated that the Whigs had tried to impannel a Jury in London to find a certain individual guilty, but the Jury was too conscientious to do so; they had since tried the same thing at Manchester with similar results, and they were now trying what a Lancaster Jury would do. He was unconscious of having committed any offence, and he left his case in the hands of the Jury. The Learned JUDGE summed up at considerable length, and the Jury after a short retirement returned with a verdict of Guilty against Curran, Ashmore, Broadhurst, and Gilchrist, and acquitted the other. The Jury stated that they found them guilty upon the third count, ♦iz., riotously assembling to disturb the public peace. His LORDSHIF intimated that he should defer passing sen tence until Thursday. The trial lasted thirteen hours. NORWICH. March 10. I Wheat (per qr.) ... 55s 60s. fifis. 13eans (per qr.) ~.......,: 12s. 345. Barley ----- 255. 335. 361. Pease, Orey.—. 335. 375.

In pursuance of the object he had in view in stating the case, he was not there to question the undoubted right of every man to express his opinion of public men and public measures; nor was he there to say with what degree of warmth and zeal these opinions should be expressed, nor the point of discretion at which they should stop, his object was merely to show what were the ob jects and propositions of the meeting of the ‘2Bth of November. He should submit to the Jury whether or not such proceedings were illegal, and radically inconsistent with the good go vernment of this country. That meeting was adjourned to the '26th of December, and a meeting was held, pur suant to such adjournment, but what took place at the meeting lie had no evidence. He should show that Broadhurst, Curron, and Ashmore were there by a witness, who was near enough to hear what passed. On the 22. d of January, there having been some trials at Bristol and Notting ham, a meeting was called by placards, headed " Legal Murder at Bristol ;" there then followed some verses of a certain degree of merit, but not of particular merit here, inasmuch as they were not applicable ; the lines were written by Addison :.—" Is there not some chosen course, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin,"—and the spirit of which quotation lie (the Attorney-General; believed that there was. Accordingly this meeting was held in St. George's fields ; and to the placard was affixed the names of two of the defendants, Curran and Faux ; and Ashmore, Broadhurst, and Curran attended, and an adjournment took place to then—oth ; and in the meantime, the order from the authorities of Man chester, prohibiting the meeting, was issued; but the parties held a meeting, and were dispersed. The Learned Gentleman then went on at some length, explaining the nature of the charge against the defendants, and concluded by contending that the evidence he should adduce would be sufficient to bring home either one or more counts in the indictment against the defendants. Mr. J. Harland, re.potter to the Manchester artaetliari, Was the first witness called, and was under examination nearly four ii,:urs.

Baronet may conclude, that the protest he has seen in the newspapers (little errors of translation ex cepted) is a correct copy of the protest- issued by the Pope.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Sir, I might content. myself by simply making that answer to the question that has been put to me; but there were one or two lei-narks accompanying the question that I thin', call for an observation or two from me. I think I ant entitled in the outset to complain a little of my Right Honourable Friend. I will not say he has misrepre sented, but he has given a little cclouring to an answer which he states I gave to a question el his. He steps that when he first asked me on the 23d of February, whether the Government V. as aware that such an expedition had sailed from France toy reply simply was tsars the Governm -nt were not aware such an expedition had sailed. (Hear, hear.) Now, any person heaving that version of my answer, would very naturally conclude that the enswer implied thnt his Majesty's Government was wholly ignorant that such an raped tioa was even ahem to he taken. Sir, my answer was two.fold. I stated that his Majesty's Government had reason to knew that such an expedition was in preparation, but that they had received no official information at that time that the expedition had actually sailed ; and whateser impatience my Right Hon. Friend may attach to a comparison of dates, that was the fact. The Right lion. Baronet stated that the mode in which this French expedition landed at Ancona was inconsistent wi'h the duties which one ind7dent State owes to arotl er. lam certainly not dispos , nor do I intend at the present period, to controvert that stag-meet.--.(Loud cheers from the Opposition side.) Itut French Government. the mo ment they heard how the landing wee effected, com municated to the Friendly Powers in France. that the cammanding officer -- of tl e expedition lied she b yed his orders, and thatslit consequence he had been called home to submit to an inquiry into hie oondect.—tHear, hear, : ear.) Now, Sir, chat is all the , has taken pl we e and which has given tlo! Rig t Hon. Baron t, es ; e e itne tends, a ground for comparing it to the proceedines Bonaparte.—(Loud cheers.) When any thing about foreign affairs is brought before the House, time Hon. Baronet has always been extremely carsful to state in the moat explicit terms that he is a loser of paeere, anti that there is nothing which he wishes for more than to see peace and good will prevail among all, and all idea of war done away with—(Heer. heat)--- hut I must say he takes the strangest mode of carrying that idea into effect 1 could po.sibly imagine.— (Loud cheers.) He says, keep peace with France—it is for the interest of England that you should maintain peace with her ; but - still, don't you think the honour of England must be maintained?—(Hear, hear.) Can you tamely brook what has peseed ? I- it not for the dignity of England to demand patisaictinn ? (neer, hear.) At the very time be is proclaiming his love for peace he is endeavouring to persuade tie House to goad his Majesty's Government into a proceed ing which must be of a nature to excite waft iendly eennnu• nicatione between that government and the French. The Hon. B ronet save, the honour of England is peens li ally concerned in protecting time territories of the Pope. For my own part I am at a loss to know why it is more peculiarly concerned in peon eting the territories of the Pope than in protecting any other part. At the same time I am perfectly ready to state that no transaction which has a tendency to interfere with independent Stales can be a matter of indifference. The Hon. Baronet says--" Make the case your own, and just suppose how you would : e el if the great powers were to interfere respecting the die turhances in England, and to say as you have been obliged again to have recourse to measuit s of repression, we will take the management into our own hands." Now it is impossible to :suppose two things more totally in.'ifferent than these. There is this pl in and essential difference between them—that in the case of the Pope, that Sovereign has unfortunately thought it ne cessary to call in the aid of foreign troops for the purpose of maintaining peace. Now, I have no difficulty in saying-, that if ever the day should arrive, when the King of this country shall Ime compelled to call in the aid of foreign troops to maintain the peace and tranquillity of his empire, I, for one, should then certainly feel that the independence of this country was at an end, and that then such a proposition might net be very improperly addressed to this House, or to his Majesty. An HON. MEMBER, whose name we could not lealti, declared that the statement just made by the Noble Lord was the most extraordinary that he had ever heard in that House. The French Government, with a view of exciting collision, bad despatched an ex pedition to Ancona, and under false pretences, they had effected a landing, and taken possession of the fortresses. The Noble Lord, it was true, stated that he had been informed the French Government disap proved of the manner in which their officer acted, but it did not appear that the fortresses had been given up. —(Hear, hear.) This was the suxtb expedition sent by France since the authority of the Bourbons had ceased, three of which had acted contrary to the law of nations. The Hon. Member was of opinion that the House was under great obligations to the Right Hors. Baronet (Sir R Vy.. vyan) for the opportunity he had taken of ascertaining the conduct of the French Government, and he added that if the principle on which such an aggression was viewed was allowed to prevail, great 'danger would result front it. Colonel EVANS, in reference to the several instances in which the French had sent expeditions referred to by the lion. Member, observed that it must be recollected that, in some of them, his Majesty's Government and time House had concurred. Iu reference to tie particule instance now under discussion; although that brerferene: may not be in consonance with the law of nations, yet as the policy of Austria bad been to keep Italy in sub jection, should the interference by the French Government restore the Papal States to liberty, every liberal mind would rejoice at it. Sir 11. VY VYAN, in reply,observed that he was glad he had afforded the Noble Lord the opportunity of giving an explanation of some part of the conduct of the French Government ; but he was of opinion that the mei e removal of the officer in command of the expedi tion—and while Ancona was still occupied—wee no satisfaction for the aggression. MESSAGE FORM THE LORDS. A Message from the House of Lords informed the House that their Lordships hail agreed to several Private Bills. On the motion that the dropped Orders of the my be proceeded in, some discussion ensued between Sir R. VYVTAN, Mr. lIUME, and the SrEAKER. After which the Coroner's Election Regulation Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed next Tuesday. SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The Sunderland Docks Bill was read a second time. Mr. TREVOR presented a petition from a person named Gray, of Hartlepool, in the county of Durham, praying to be heard by Counsel in the Committee of the Hartlepool Hsrbour and Wet Docks Bill, and complaining that the standing orders had not been complied with. A long discussion ensued between the Hon. Member, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Littleton, and the Speaker, as to whether, in the first instance, the peti tioner hail an actual interest in land proposed to he affected by the intended Bill, and also whether the Committee had examined as to whether the stand ing orders had been complied with or not. It appeared that the Committee bad reported that the standing orders hall been complied with. The result of the discussion was the withdrawal of the petition. Lord STANLEY moved for, and obtained leave to bring in, a Bill to enable the Company of the proprietors of the Bolton, Bury, and Manchester Canal, to make col lateral branches of the can 1. On the motion of Sir EDWARD KAUGHAY, leavez" was given to bring in a Bill to light 'the town of Wells with gas. Mr. EVANS brought up the report of the Committee on the St. Margaret's (Westminster) Poor Bill. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought up the report of the Committee on the London-bridge Approaches Bill. Mr. PAGET presented a petition against the Upper East Smithfield Road Bill. Mr. WYSE presented several petitions from various places in Queen's county, complaining of distress and the tithe system. The petitioners represented that in their original institution, tithes were intended, not solely for the benefit of the clergy, but as a provision in part for the relief of the poor. The HON. AIEMBER also presented several petitions re lative to the Galway franchise. Mr. LAMBERT presented a petition from a place in Cornwall, against the tithe system. Mr. H. GRATTAN and Mr. J. Gaaa-raw supported the prayer of the petition, Lord KILLEEN knew most of the petitioners to be men of the highest respectability in the county. Mr. BLACKNEY said that Ireland and its future peace rested very much on the abolition of tie tithes, and if not put down by the Legislature, the tithe system would be annihilated by the united efforts of an oppressed, im poverished, and insulted nation. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the free holders, leaseholders, and housrhoPers, of Chorlton, in the neighbourhood of Manchester, against the General Registry Bill. The petitioners suggested that if any registry was adopted, a local registry would he infinitely more advantageous than that proposed by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Campbell). The SPEAKER then addressed the House, and said the time having arrived for the commencement of public busi ness, it would be more convenient, he thought, that by some means, according to the pleasure of the House, the dropped Orders should be now disposed of, and it was impossible for him to revert to the circumstance of there being no House yesterday, without expressing the sincerest gratitude he entertained for the kindness and consideration the Hons.. had shown him, not only upon that occasion, but upon many others since be had the honour of occupying that Citair.—(Flear, hear.) Lord ALTHORP then moved that the dropped orders of yesterday be read. Sir R. VYVYAN said it bad been his intention yesterday to ask some questions of the Noble Lord opposite, relative to a subject which he considered of im• portance, namely, the French expedition to Ancona and the affairs of Belgium, and lie thought he could not do better than embrace the present opportunity of asking a few questions upon that particular subject. The other day when he put the question relative to the landing of the French troops at Ancona, his Majesty's Govern ment stated that they were not enabled to give any definite answer to the questions proposed. On a previous occasion, when he asked his Noble Friend whether he was aware of any expedition being prepared, or having s tiled, the Noble Lord stated he was not then aware whether any expedition had sailed. Now it was itnpts tant to refer to debates on that occasion. The questions were proposed on Feb. '23, and it was discovered that the French troops had landed at Ancona before Government was aware that any expedition had sailed. Shortly afterwards a protest, said to he that of the Pope, had appeared again" the invasion of his States by the French. This protest was too long to read, hot he believed every Member had had an opportunity of reading it. There were some passages, however, in that document which showed, if it were correct, that there bad been an invasion of the Papal territory, and that the French had landed at Ancona without the permission of the Pope, and in defiance of his expostulations. When the troops landed, the Pap ii troops still being in possession of Ancona, it ap peared that their commander was told he was a French prisoner, until he surrendered the fort of which he was possessed, and which he commanded. Had there, he asked, ever happened such a thing since the days of Napoleon? And although it was perhaps a poetical expression, yet nothing of the kind had happened since the days of the Saracens. On the 7th March, after the news of the event had reached Paris, speeches were made by many members of the oppo sition, and M. C. Perier delivered a speech, to a few extracts of which he would call the attention of the House.—(Hear, bear.) The Honourable Baronet then proceeded to read extracts, the purport of which was that the French Government had interfered in this case on the same principle that they had interfered with Belgium. The Austri ins having occupied Bologna, the French Government thought itself obliged to take this step as a continental power. He would ask, supposing the same principle were acted on as to this country, what would he the consequence? He did not stand there to defend the Papal Govern ment; but there were passages in the speech that affected English interests. It was not for them to set themselves up as judges of what mode of government a Sovereign should deal out to his people, or what a people should expect from its legitimate Sovereign. But what if the French were to declare that the legitimate mode of trial in this country was not sufficient, and that the periodical repressions of provincial disturbances were neither just nor adequate; and if a Congress were to sit to consider this questioning the power of the British Parliament to decide the question?—(Hear, hear, hear.) On another occasion, M. C. Pcrier explained more fully the intentions of Government, but these explanations were like Cromwell's, when he did not wish his Parlia ment to understand him. It was evident, however, that the interference of the French in this instance had origi nated in their own interests,contrary to the wish of the Pope. His object, therefore, was to know from the Noble Lord whether the Protest was an official document.—whether he bad received such official infertnation, as a Minister of the Crown, so as to say the document had been officially iksued, protesting against the occupation of Ancona by a Foreign Power, with which Foreign Power this country was in alliance? It was far from his desire to say any thing which might give the appearance of any thing calculated to involve this country in a war. He wished for peace. He believed it to be for the interest of both countries that peace should be maintained. He believed the majority of Members of both Houses of Parliament, es well as the majority of the people of this country, wished for peace ; but if there was any thing like French honour, it was to be recollected there was British honour also—(Cheers) —and he could not but sup pose that his Majesty's Government had done their best to preserve that honour., He was willing to suppose this—he was willing to suppose that the French troops might yet have to retire from Ancona, and that the French Government might yet have, in re spect of what had been done, to make an apology. He was willing to suppose all this, and to abstain from putting a question to the Noble Lord upon it, con tenting himself on the present occasion simply by asking and which deserved most serious attention—(Hear, hear) —whether the Noble Lord had official information that this protest was an authentic document? Lord PALMERSTON said, Sir, it affords me satisfac tion on this occasion to be able to give an answer to my Right Hon. Friend's question ; the more so as it has frequently occurred • that to questions proposed by him I have either felt it unfit to answer them, or been unable to reply to them from the want of means. Sir, 1 have received from one of our Foreign Ministers I believe a copy of the protest my Right Hon. Friend has adverted to in such a way as to leave no doubt on my mind that such protest was issued by the itomsn C7l77lllllllClit therefore, the Bight Hon. The Reform in Parliament (Scotland) Bill was post poned until Friday se'nnight. On the Clerk reading the motion fora Committee on Tithes in Ireland, Mr. STANLEY moved that the Speaker do now leave the Chair. An HOF. Mektsxn. wished that other motions which stood for this evening, might he fixed for some day, otherwise great confusion would arise in bringing on the question, and postponing the others until some inde finite period. Lord ALTHORP hoped the House would allow the tithe question to come on immediately, as it was one of great importance. The SPEAKER having put the question on the Order of the Day for a Committee of the whole House to con sider the report of the Irish Tithe Committee, Mr. WALLACE could not consent to the Committee until sufficient time should have been given to the Irish Members to consult their constituents. He would divide the House. Mr. BODKIN (as we understood) said that no man was m.re sensible than he thst it was ni cessary to cut down the Irish Church Establishment to a condition better suited to the circumstances of Ireland ; but he thought it was not expedient for the Irish gentlemen wish whom he gen-rally voted, to take a course which mi g ht seem only calculated to impede the public business. Mr. BROWNLOW thought that after the opinion of the House bad been so decidedly expre s sed by so large it majority, it was not for the minority to stand in the way of the public business.—(Hear.) Sir J. BURKE concurred with Mr. Brownlow. Mr. LEADER would lose no opportunity of procuring a postponement of those measures, in o rder to give the people of Ireland time to expre ss their opinions as to the necessity or the justice of enacting a new penal and curt-- cive Mr. MOORE O'FERRALL thought that the division would rffect no goad purpose. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but Mr. WALLACE eventually consented to the motion, and the Houee went into Committee. Mr. STANLEY said—ln rising, Sir, to propose to the Committee the Resolutions on which it is intend.,l to found the proceedings of Lis illajesty's Government re specting the important recommendations of the Select Committee upon Tithes in Ireland, 1 c annot retrain front expressing my regret that any, course which d I ha n ve lett it to be my duty to pursue, shuld he loae up- by any Gentleman in this House as intended to deceive them, and to entrap the Home into an implied approbation of irlla , ures hie!, laid not been formally brought before it. 1%. may , per h 3 r, Lt thought by some that the Government WINDSOR, MARcii 13. The dense frosty fogs still continue with us here, commenc ing about six o'clock in the evening, and continuing nearly the whole of the forenoon. Yesterday forenoon his Majesty, being thereby prevented from taking his morning drive, took the opportunity of inspecting the late improvements made and carrying on adjoining that part of the buttress of the round tower connected by the Hon. Miss Townshend's apartments. The King was attended by Sir J. Wyattville, and seemed pleased with the improvements, which are allowed to be very great, and highly gratifying to all public visitors. Yesterday morning, after some hours of fog, the weather became remarkably fine, and the phaetons and saddle-horses being in readiness, at half-past two their Majesties left the Castle; the King in his double-bodied pony phaeton, accom panied by Lord James O'Brien and the F.arl and Countess of Mayo; her Majesty, preferring her favourite exercise, rode on horseback,Tand was accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge, Miss \%llson, Sir James Reynett, and Sit Andrew Barnard, with the usual retinue. On leaving the Castle they proceeded by the Long Walk, Snow Hill, the new Plantations, Cumberland Lodge, the Obelisk, and Virginia Water, to Bel videre, where they remained some time inspecting that de lightful retreat, with its enchanting views, and returned by nearly the same route to the Castle at half-past five o'clock. Lady and Miss Gore had the honour of dining and passing the evening with their Majesties. ller Majesty's band were in attendance, and played during he evening. The bands of the regiments on duty here played for the first time this season on Sunday last, on the New Terrace. The company were not very numerous, owing to the damp and coldness of the weather. This forenoon the King took an airing in hip pony phaeton in the Great Park. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of Gloucester continues in a faveurable state. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria walked for some time in Hyde park yesterday. The Mexican Minister transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign Office, with Viscount Palmerston Colonel Lindsey and several Scotch Members of the House of Commons, accompanied by some manufacturers of hemp, waited on Viscount Althorp yesterday, at the Treasury, and had a conference with his Lordship respecting the duties on hemp. The Master. General of the Ordnance, and the Earl of Mul. grave, transacted business yesterday at the Colonial Office. A deputation from Norwich had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the Treasury. Sir John Owen, Alderman Thompson, and a deputation, had a conference with Viscount Althorp on Monday. Lord Durham, Sir James Graham, and the Right Hon, Poulett Thomson, visited Viscount Althorp yesterday. SURREY THEATRE. A new piece has been brought out at this theatre from the pen of Mr. Stafford, called Chelsea ; or the Pensioner's Pride. The groundwork is derived from Wilkie's celebrated picture of his " Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Gazette of the Battle of Waterloo." A plot has been neatly invented, many parts of which were loudly applauded ; but there is rather a paucity of incidents seldom met with among the numerous productions (some of which are deservedly ranked as stock pieces) from the same author. We cannot, however, omit to mention the scene in which Wilkie's picture, in living characters, is introduced, every figure bearing the exact resemblance to its prototype in the engraving. It was received with rapturous applause. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London Netv Price Current of yesterday.)

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) LANCASTER, MARCH 12.—0 n Sunday morning the pri soners attended divine service, and behaved in an orderly man ner becoming their awful situation. After the sermon, the culprit Thomas became much softened in his manners, and confessed to Mr. Rowley that he was the guilty person, though without entering into particulars. During the day and the crimes they had c ommitted, and acknowledged the justness of following night both evinced great penitence for the horrid their sentence. About eight o'clock, the solemn tolling of the bell of St. Mary's, announced that the time was come for the wretched men to expiate their offence, and the dreadfnl appa ratus of death being quite in readiness, they were brought to the scaffold pinioned. Heaton came up first, and as soon as Thomas appeared, they shook each other by the hand, but no i words or conversation passed between them. Heaton, who upon his t r i a l appeare d t o be a muscular and athletic man, could scarcely b e reco gnised, his frame was so much sunk, and he seemed as if a f ew more days of mental agony would have ed the execution unnecessary. Thomas was but little ,altered in his appearance. The ropes being adjusted, and the caps pulled over their faces, the Reverend Chaplain made an impressive prayer, amidst which the bolt was dra wn, and the miserable men, in a few minutes, cea sed to exist. Thomas struggled a little, but Heaton died almost instantaneously. After the bodies had hung, as an example for evil-doers, for the space of one hour, they were removed to the gaol, to be delivered over to the surgeons for dissection. It is understood that one body will be removed for the benefit of the anatomical science of Liv erpool, and t h e ot h er to Warrington. Heaton, in the course of S unday, said that he d id n ot strike the deceased from before, b ut behind--the surgeon was of o p inion u pon the trial that th e bl ow was struck from beh i n d ; he also denied that the officer Davis h a d s p o k en correc tly in having compared the shoes with the marks in the soil, for he said, that in order to have his victim more secure, he crept behind him without his shOeti,
