KOUTHWARK ELECTION.—At a public and most numerous Meeting of the Electra of the Borough of Southwark, holden at the Mick Bull, Freeschool-street, St. John's; on Thursday Evening, January 2, 1840, for the put pose of adopting measures to secure the return of BENJAMIN - WOOD, Esq., as one of the Representatives of this Borough in Parliament, FRANCIS NASH, Esq., in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted let. " Tliat, at this important political crisis the 'Electors of Southwark are imperatively called upon to put forth all their energies in filling the vacancy in the Representation, by choosing a Gentleman distinguished for his well-known ad vricacy, of Constitutional Reform, and firm support of an ex tension of the Civil and Religious Rights of the People." 2d: " That, in the opinion of this Meeting, Mr. Benjamin Wood preeminently deserves the confidence and support of the Electors o-f Southwark, and is peculiarly qualified to Represent this Borough in Parliament, from his habits 'of business, his long residence amongst, and intimate acquaintance with, the local •interest of his l3rother Electors, his sterling and en lighteued political principles as a thorough practical Reformer, and hi:, being the avowed enemy of Corruption and Abuse, the zealous advocate of Religious Liberty, the unchanged friend of• the Unrepresented Classes, by wishing to extend the Suffrage to every Householder, the Benefactor of the Poor, by his determined oppositipn to the present tyrannical and Oppressive Corn-laws, and the unwearied Supporter of Progressive Re form and, the Rights and Privileges of the People.' 34. That, the recent attempt to secure the return of Mr. Walter for ihe Borough of Southwark, by the purchase of the votes and influence of Me4srs. .Anderson and Gillham, and the use of threats to induce the Electors to vote against their con science, is a gross violation of the principles of the purity of Election, and must be taken as indicating the means used by the Tories to corrupt and intimidate the Electors of South wark ; and, as such, strongly calls upon all who value their religious and political freedom to exert. themselves to resist such base and profligate degradation." . 4th,. " That the thanks of the Electors of Southwark are due, and - are hereby given to 'Mr. Charles Anderson and Mr. George Gillham, for their open, .manly, and straightforward conduct in expOsirig the unprincipled attempt of Mr. Walter and his Agents to purchase their influence, in order to 91344' Mr. Walter's Election for this Borough:" FRANCIS - NASH, Chair Man. Francis Nash, Esq., having vacated the Chair, the thanks od the Meeting were unanimously voted to him for his able anf impartial conduct. 75. LAMB'S CONDUIT-STREET, JANUARY 1, 1840. MR.

When we inform the Public that many pretended cheap shops are selling what they call Tea for less than genuine Tea can be lyaight at, it must be obvious to all the unprincipled manner in which it is accom plished—how are these parties to sell at a loss and pay rent, tare s; and twenty shillings in the pound, except by adultera tion?—how is it they also sell sugar at a loss? The answer is obvious—by adulteration. Such being the case, we respectfully invite the public to try our TEAS, trustino. 'by this time we have established a confidence that, though not' quite so low in price, they will be found to possess that eminent quality, purity.

Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists during a professional experience of thirty years, have had ample' opportu nities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing are sym pathetically related to each other in such a peculiar manner, that when the former becomes imperfect, the sense of hearing b ecomes rapidly dull—this fact is admitted by Scientific Authorities, and must be observable by many thousands of individuals thus circutn stanced—which is deserving the Public's most serious attention. The Messrs. Solomons, with a view to remedy such an affection, and after they have devoted their whole lives to this interesting branch of science, have succeeded in effecting, for Imperfect Vision, a r a host scientificimprovement in a Transparency for Spectacles, and e vcntive and Cure for Deafness ; they have invented an Operative Voice Conductor, upon a very small construction, not percel.tible ; it requires no h ‘ltling, and the individual immediately becomes one of the party in the general conversation. By these important disco veries not only is defective Vision brought to n .tune, but the sense of Hearing N restored to its original acuteness ; those lenses are so constructed and adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific principles, combined with the lon4 extensive experience of the Messrs. Solomon:, that they will be found to effect an extent of relief which will far exceed their utmost and most san guine expectations.

Early convinced of this great truth, MESSRS. GOSS and Co., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent corn. plaints,viz., the general and local debilities of both th e sexes', whe ther arising from the solitary indulgence which a too highly inflamed imagination brings like a destroying fiend over the.constitution, the mind; and the affections of youth ; or from a long residence in hot cli mates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence; and from their daily experience they can with confidence offbr a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females or a 'pure and affectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been painfully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and remove hidden impediments to maternal happiness. An insidious *disOrder, however inveterate, as also Gonorrhoea, Gleet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint in diet or exercise. IVIESSRS.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. The attendance of speculators, considering the number of absentees at the Southport Coursing Meeting, exceeded our expectationst Probably they were drawn together that some thing definite would come out respecting the numerical strength and quality of that important handicap race, the Chester Cup. Nothing, however, transpired, - although it was pretty clear that the horses named at Chester were known. But to those are to be added the nominations sent to Messrs. Weatherby, of Lon don ; and, if we are net. much mistaken, Mr. Lockwood, of York, can receive the same. As these 'would not be sent off for Chester before twelve o'clock p.m. on the Ist of January, they must travel pretty 'smartly in order to reach es by the There were no offers, nor will there,be any until the full list appears. We have every-reason for thinking the Cap entry will be superior to that of last year. There is nothing to re mark upon'respecting the Derby, 100 to 7 is offered still on the field. Ottoman was offered against yesterday at 300 to 10, but offered against only at 11 to-day ; this was owing to his farthez rise in London. - Confederate was backed at Tattersall's yester day at 36 to 1, and at the same figure here at noon ; he is de cidedly looking up, and so is Gambia, who is offered to be backed against Lucetta for a round sum. Two or three other horses were numed in cross bets; -but nothing was effected in the shapd of real business. We may adkthat Ruler was backed at 50 to 1. SOO to '2.5 would have been taken on Mr. Robin , son's St. Andrew this evening. SINGULAR CA SE OF BURNING.—On Friday afternoon, the following dreadful circumstance occurred to a woman named Sarah Simmonds, living at 19, Phillip-street, St. George's-in-the-East.. She was in the habit of smoking, and carelessly placed in her pocket a pipe which she supposed was empty. She shortly afterwards went into the shop of Mr. Childs, a pawnbroker, in High-street, Shadwell, and while there, her clothes became ignited, and she was soon enveloped in flames. Before her garments could be taken off she was burnt so severely that she now lies in the Lon don t Hospital in a lamentable condition. ." THE SPITFIRE."—Captain Cliamier's new Naval Romance, entitled " The Spitfire," will doubtless form the favourite fire-side reading of this in-door sea son ; for the nature of its plot enables it to make a double claim on the , novel-reading . class of 'the commu nity ; it has not only all the attractive features of a nautical" romance; but many of those which are usually confined to that class of fiction which busies itself with the deeper - and darker passions of our nature. A usurped inheritance—gain e d by the deepest fraud, and held by the darkest crime—are the elements which give a stronger moral interest to the adventures of the . pirate hero of “. The Spitfire" than his mere sea changes and chances would have done alone —strange and romantic as they are. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' PROTECTION SO ciETY.;—At a Committee Meeting of the above Society held at their office, No. 3, New Bridge-street, Black friars, on Friday, January 3, Mr. Thomas. Keesley in the chair ; it was moved by Mr. Byron, seconded by Mr. Willeock, and unaniniously carried, .that the cot'. diallhanks of this Committee be given to our late Chairman, Mr. George Walter, for the very s able and zealous manner in which lie has dis Charged the duties of that office during the past year. At the same meting a reward of one guinea was paid in each ofseveral eases. It is understood to be the intention of the Libe ral electors of the county Wicklow, who returned Sir Ralph Howard at the last election, to call upon him to resign a seat which they say he can no longer hold with honour, having abandoned the principles which caused them to vote for him. Indeed, it is rumoured that the lion. Baronet will spare them the trotible,:by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds at . the meeting of Parliament ; .in either event, the Liberal candidate,will be the second son of Earl Fitzwilliam. LONDON DOCK COMPANY.—On Friday the halt-yearly general meeting of, the Proprietors in this [ Company was held in the Dock-house,. Princes-street, near the Bank of England, to receive a report from the Court of Directors relative to the state of the affairs of the establishment, and to declare a dividend. HOGG AS A SPORTSMAN.-Hogg was passion.. ately fond of all the sports and pastimes of his native land ; he was a fair, but I should say not a good shot : in fact, he did not preterd to this distinction.

Not a shot would' he fire at black game before the 20th of August a SC ; nor would he set a foot upon a moor unless he had lull permi s si on and also his game certificate in his pocket. The pro .prietors of Blackwood's Magazine, with whom the Shep herd was connected, made him a present of a certificate for upwards of twenty years, and he was proud to tell of their kindness to him. He had also a great' many peculiarities.

John-Parsons examined by Mr. Talbot—l am a butcher residing at Pillgwelly. On the morning of the fourth of November I was on Stow-hill a little after nine o'clock, and saw a great many people arriving up by the Friars, on the road leading from the Court-y_bclla Machine towards the Westgate. They were armed with guns, pikes, and other weapons. They passed near me. They were be tween 4,000 and 5,000 men. There might have been more or less. The fore ranks observed ordcr. They were walking seven or eight abreast. A few came after Ze phaniah Williams. These men were not armed. _I heard that morning the firing at Newport. That was after I had seen the body of men. It did not last more than ten minutes. Cross-examined by Mr. Kelly—l was at Stow-hill when I saw the men pass. I was then passing through the Church-yard. I was in the yard, and the men were on the road, and going the way different from mine. I stopped a few seconds. I was not then in the road. I have known 'Z. Williams several years. He had, on that occasion, no offensive weapon about him. He was walking alongside of the road, not with the body. Re-examined—The distance between Z. Williams and the men was but little ; it was about the distance (which was about 14 feet) of where I am standing to the jury-box. I did not see him elsewhere. I know " the Six Bells," which it the same place. Thomas Saunders sworn and examined by the Soli citor=General—l am a small farmer residing at Tyne combo. Witness—.l wish to he asked in Welsh. Solicitor-General—Oh, never mind Welsh ; I don't understand that langusge. We will get on well in English. Examination continued—l li ve near t h e Welsh Oak. I was at home on the 3d of November. On that night I heard a noise on the tram-road. This was about twelve o'clock. When I heard the noise, I sat up in bed to hear whence it came. After listening a short time, I lay down, when a voice called me. I said " What do you want at this time ?" The voice replied, " When you get up I will tell you. Open the door ; there are hundreds and thousands of Chartists on the tram-road." I went to the barn to hide myself. While I was there a large troop same in. I.jumped down, and asked what they were do ing ; they said, " That they were to shelter themselves for a time, they did not know how long." I allowed them to remain. I then went from the barn to my house on the tram-road. There was a great number of people holding lights in lanterns. The barn was full. I returned, and asked them to take care not to burn the barn with the candles. Zephaniah Williams name to my 'house. While I was there, Zephaniah Williams came and said to the men, " Come, my good men, let us go." Every man then prooeeded to make himself ready as soon as he could, and they started. Those men were armed with guns and pikes. It then came in light. It was between six and seven in the morn ing. They came at one o'clock, and remained till seven. I cannot form a judgment of the number of the men pre sent. They were out of my number. After the men went out Zephaniah Williams and a strange man returned. He asked permission to dry himself. I asked him where he was going. He asked me why I said so. I said because some men here said you were going to Monmouth to draw Vincent out of prison. He said no ; we don't attempt it ; we are going to give a turn as far as Newport. They ali left my house about seven o'clock; Cross-examined by Mr. Kelly—lt was about half-past six in the morning when I first saw Williams; in two or three minutes after the men went away I saw Williams for the last time; there was a great number in my house and barn. They were going and coming all the morning. Barnabus Brough examined by the Attorney- General— I am a brewer and wine merchant, residing at Pontypool, in this.. county ; I was at Newport on Sunday, the 3d of November last ; I attempted to return home that night to gig, in u s e ihn:wo ja:teph.company fiw yiPontypool.eth miles Itf from Pontypool Thomas s a n r t7 n . pi Matthews, o e ; : l d o , e fa k o uc w ro h r i :_ n ejmr ; left Newport for that purpose. I travelled in a one-horse and a townsman of mine. We travelled as far as Cros= - Newport. We left the gig at Cross-y-Kyloch, with an intention of walking .on foot to Pontypool. This we did in consequence of the horse having been knocked up. The night•wao excessively wet and dark. About half way from the place where we left the gig, we were stopped lir an armed mob. We were ordered to stand by lhe party. The leader asked our names, whence we came, and %slier° we were going. I gave him my name " Mr. Brough brewer, Pontypool." The same man inquired the name of my companion. I replied, " Mr. Thomas Matthews, currier, Pontypool," and that he was going to Pontypool. The person.who put the interrogations, said "they should turn back and go with them." I said, I would rather not. They , were going towards Newport. The party in terrogating said, • • We must go back with them, and that if we wont quietly we should be taken care of." Ire monstrated against.the attack on my liberty. They told me to hold my tongue, or that it would be worse for me. I inquired by what - riglit they thus attacked my liberty. They again told me to hold my tongue and go with them. We did so. Two men in front of us and two behind armed with pitchforks, guarded us. The leader marched to my left, and another at the side of my companion, In .this order we marched towards Newport. There might have been about 40 or 59 men collected there. It was too dark to disti►;guiah the number. We thus proceed , id within three quarters of a mile of Newport. I did not attempt to make my escape. We were ordered to halt in the marsh within half a mile of Newport. I then asked to cross a hedge, and on attempting to leap it fell into four feet of water. Two or three called out, and threatened to blow out my brains. I felt two guns near me. There might be more. The men ordered me to return, and I did return. We were taken as far back as the turnpike gate 200 o-300 yards nearer Newport; it is called the Malpas gate. We were placed in a shed or cow-house opposite the toll-house, and were guarded by armed men. There was one person without arms, who went in and was kind towards us, They brought us five miles. I heard none but common names mentioned, such as Jones, Edwards, &c. I was then taken to the toll-house. I was guarded all the time by a man with a drawn sword, We were taken up stairs, when I tell asleep, and remained so three quarters of an hour, when we were - - - - ordered down again, and were placed in the same position and guarded as before. They took me across the canal and up a lane that leads to Risca. They appeared to carry us several miles when we reached the Cern. It is about two miles from Risca. No assignable object was given for carrying us, there. At Ccfn we went into a public-house. It was half-past three or near four o'clock when we arrived there. We were taken prisoners to the Welsh Oak, which is about a mile from Risca. We were still guarded, When we got to the Welsh Oak I requested. a — person to find Mr..Fiost for me. I heard Mr. Frost's name mentioned in the lam. A person asked " Who were they ?" He was answered, " They were taken for Frost or Frost's men." I inquired for Mr. Frost, as he was an old acquaintance of mine. While we were in the Welsh Oak, Mr. Frost came in. It must have been then about six p'clock. As the day was dawn ing, I heard him say, " Where is Mr. Brough ?" I re plied, " Here, Sir." He appeared astonished to see me, and asked, " What brought me there ?" I told him, "that the parties who had me in custody would best tell him." I required of him to let us free. He said " that though he detested my polities he had a personal regard for me." He then said, " that I was dismissed or ,discharged." I then inquired if my companion was included in that libe ration. The answer was, " certainly." I thanked him, and then left the party. We were then liberated ; I ob served a light as it from a lantern. This light appeared to come from the direction of Newport. It was extin guished before it reached us. Cross-examined by t-it F. Pollock--We came through the lame to the Welsh Oak. I hare known Mr. Frost:fur five or six years. I had every conficicnca,if.he had bet , nthrc that I would not have to dread any personal injury. 1113 general character is in accordance with that opinion which I formed of him. I parte(' with Mr. Frost at half-past six. Thu day was breaking, or rather the day was dawning. An order «2f; granted by the Court, on ti o writlec ap plication of Sir F. Pollock, for the admssion of Mr. Thoma 3 and Mr. O'Connor ' to the gaol at all reasonable hours, fur the purpose of seeing Mr. Frost. The Cella adjourned at a quaiter to six o'clock. SATURDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. SUDDEN CLOSE OF THE PROSECUTION. The Judges took 'their seat at nine in the morning. Thomas Watkins examined by the Solicitor-General —I reside in the neighbourhood of Pontypool. I am acquainted with Mr. Brough. I was with him in a gig on tho night of the 3d of November. We were going to Pontypool. In the course of our journey we were internipted,:and were kept in restraint until six o'clock, or half-past six in the morning. During the night I observed two or three lights—a kind of rockets. They were between Newport and Rises. We were then about the end of the lane going from the toll-house to Rises. We were guarded by men with arms. We were at the Welsh Oak public-house in the morning, having been kept ,in custody till then. We asked Mr. Frost if he would liberate us ? Mr. Frost :aid " I detest your po litics, but you are discharged," and we then walked on. Cross-examined by Sir Frederick Pollock—There were tin works near the place where we were first taken. lam a currier. Re-examined—l ens sufficiently acquainted. with the lights of iron-works to be able, to say thst the lights I speak of were not from iron-works. I saw these lights after we had.passed the iron-works. By the Foreman of the Jury—There wore no iron , works between Newport and Risca. The lights I spoke of were not low and near the ground, but very high in the air. You can see at a distance from iron-works a conside rable reflection in the air. I cAn say positively that th e lights I saw were not any such reflection. John Harford examined by the Solicitor-General —I am a collier. My health was very poorly on Sund ay , t h e 3d of November last. I did not get up till the afternoon. At six o'clock I was in the house when some men came to the door. There was a great number of them. I had a sword in my house, and they told me if. I did not come along, and bring the sword, they would kill me. I teas 'obliged to go. They pulled me . out of the house by the collar. We first went to Mr. William Jones, at the Car penter's Arms. The men had pikes. From Jones' I was taken on, and at last got to the Welsh Oak. It vas about one o'clock in the morning when we got there. On the way there were hundreds and thousand; of men. great number of them were armed I saw them go to the doors of the house and order people out, and pull them out. I knew Mr. Frost. I saw him between the Cefn and the Welsh Oak. He was alone when I saw him. He came along with me and the men to wards the Oak. He was standing in the road with his two hands in his coat pockets. We went to Cern (bee:lL:a there were so many that we could not all get into the Welsh Oak) to have a pint of beer. There is a public house at Cefit (the relative situation of these two places was pointed out to the Court on the plans.) When we met Mr. Frost the mob asked him, " If the) had not better return." He said " No, you had bet ter not return." They asked Mr. Frost what he did intend to do. He said at first "be should go to the New Poor House, and take the soldiers and their arms," and he said there was a storehouse where there was plenty of powder, and that they could blow up the bridge; that would stop the 'Welsh mail, which did run to the north, and that would bring tidings, and they would commence here in the north on the Monday night; and he said that he should be able to see two or three of his friends or enemies in Newport. He said no more. Mr. Frost and the mob then went on towards the Welsh Oak. I don't know how long they remained there. I made my escape about 200 yards from the Welsh Oak, and went into a cow-shed. It was between three and four o'clock when I first saw Mr. Frost, and it could not have been more than a quarter past four o'clock when .I last saw him. I saw no more of him that night. Cross-examined by Mr. K e lly.—l was exam i ne d b e f ore the Magistrates at Newp or t. I cannot say on what day of the month. It was on a Friday ; not the Friday after I had left my house. This was the second Friday. The people at the Union poor -house told me to go to be ex amined. I was at the Union workhouse, because I was f.)recd out of the house with a sword by Mr. Frost and the moia. I was apprehended by the Magistrates the Sunday fortnight after the riots, in my own house. I was taken to the George Inn. at Blackwood. I remained there till the eves:lag. I was not examined there. In the evening I was taken to Newport, to the Union. I have Taal remained in custody ever since. I was not locked up there. I stopped in it for the night. I was obliged to remain there, being apprehended. I was not examined the next day. I was detained there thirteen days. I was not examined during that time; I was detained till I was examined. I was examined at the Westgate. I was taken there for that purpose ; after having been detained thirteen days. I was detained on the charge of carrying a sword in the mob. There was no charge made against me at the Westgate. I had these few words to say what I have said cgainst Mr. Frost. I told it to the person who keeps the Union. I think his name is Mr. Harris. I told him what I had to say. I was obliged to take a part in the riot. I knew when I told him it that there was a charge against me of having taken part in the riot. I was obliged to take a part in it, or it would have cost me my life. When I told the master of the workhouse what I had to say, I knew well I wits charged with carry. hag a sword. I had learned that some had gone to prison on a charge of riot. I had heard, too, that some had gone to prison on the charge of high treason. I did not know that if any persons were convicted there they would suffer death. I did not understand the law. I did not know that a person convicted of high treason would suffer death. I did not tell any ono but the master of the workhouse what I said against Mr. Frost. He was arrested before I was taken before the Magistrates. When I told the mas ter of the workhouse what I had to say, there were other men beside mvsalf at the workhouse; what charge they were on I don't know. I did not ask them. Certainly they were on some charge. The place was not guarded by soldiers. There were soldiers there who were wounded. There were soldiers there besides the wounded, and re csuits. They were then learning their exercise every morning. They were on parade or whatever you call it. I knew nothing about the workhouse having been made a place of confinement or not before this business. I talked to one of the persons there about this business during the twelve dabs I remained there. Ido not remember the man's name. I did not know him before. I never heard his name. I did not tell him what I had done in the I business. I did not talk about Mr. Frost to him. He told me that if be knew anything about Mr. Froste he would tell it if he was in my place. Upon my- oath I did' did not tell him about Mr. Frost in order that I might got , my liberty. I expected to be freed from this charge svhcip I told it, and when I had given my evidence I did get my liberty. I cannot write; I did put my mark to something when I was examined before the Magistrates. I was not examined more than once. When I had made my state ment, I was at once set at liberty. I have since been working as a collier at Mr. Jones's, the same master as I worked for before. The name of the person to Whom I spoke about Mr. Frost at the workhouse was net Edwards. 1 know no person of the name of Morgan to whoa I have spoken to about this business. I have not spoken to any one of that name about it. It was about four o'clock in the morning when I saw Mr. Frost, and it was within a quarter of an hour after that when lie told the mob in my blaring about the powder, and the soldiers, and the post, and the other matters. Examined by the Foreman of the Jury—l have at teuded at a Chartist lodge. I endeavoured to make my escape from the mob several times, but they prevented' me, pulling me by the collar and striking me, and threatening to run a pike through my body. Mr. Frost said he should see two or three friends or enemies at New pert. Ile did not name any one that I heard. I had not heard at the union workhouse that any one was likely to be hanged for this rising or riot, or whatever it was. I was not afraid myself of being hanged, for I had done no. thing to deserve to be hanged or sent to prison. William Harris examined by the Solicitor-General— e. am a collier, residing at Blackwood, I remember Sunday night, the 3d of November. I was near the Coach and Horses lon, at Blackwood, about seven o'clock ; I saw Mr. Frost outside the door. There were a good many persons about the door ; some of them were armed. There was every •kind of arms there, pikes and everything. I saw a person of the name of Davies close to Mr. Frost. Davies told the people to go on ; " that there was enough there to eat Newport." I went up the road after this. After that, I and my wife went up the road together, and we met a mob coming down. I suppose I was opposit'e the Coach and Horses hardly a quarter of an hour. My wife came down after me, and we went up the turnpike road towards my own house. While we were walking. we met a mob, who told me to come along. I said I would not. They were armed. They had great sticks with them, every one. I did not see anything else with them. Alley said again to me, " Come alone ;" and I went on with them to the Greyhound. I should say there were 50 - of them together. I remained at the Greyhound about a quarter of an hour. I dare say there were 200 persons there ; some of them had pieces, some pikes, and some mandrils, By "pieces" I-mean guns. Ido not know what time it was when we left the greyhound. We after wards went to the Welsh Oak. There was a great num ber of men who preceded us, and we met others on the road, who joined us. They were coming down in every part; and some of them were armed. At the Welsh Oak I saw Mr. Frost. I saw Zephaniah Williams on the Mon day morning about seven o'clock. That was the first time I saw him. When we got to the. Welsh Oak, and I saw Mr. Frost, it was about eleven o'clock at night. It was toe the turnpike-road across the tram-road that I saw Zephaniah Williams. I saw Mr. Frost about forty yards from that spot. Mr. Williams spoke to me and told me to go on and not to hang back there, but to go on with the rest, because I was going towards home. I then went on towards Newport, as far as the Friars. Every one was going on as fast as they could go. I did not go on to to Newport. I turned back at the Friars because I was af-aid to go on. I thought they were going on to kill people. I had heard Mr. Frost call the guns forward. He said, 4 ' all that have guns come in front." The guns were tried ever so many times. It had been raining between the times when they were tried. Two or three of the men turned back with me. I went to the tram-road to get on the tram-engine to go back. Cross-examined by Sir F. Pollock—l come now from Blackwood. I was in custody. I was taken to Newport on the 20th of the last month. I cannot tell you the name of the month. I don't know the names of the months. It is going on three weeks ago—three weeks next Monday. I have been kept ever since at Newport and here. I live at Blackwood. This morning I came from the Black Swan. I have been here in Monmouth since lAs• Mon day. I was in Newport a fortnight "handy." I was in custody there at the Parrot and Salutation Inns. I was examined before the Magistrates. The mark on the paper (the deposition) now produced is my mark. The paper was read over to me. I suppose so. That is the mark I made when I went down to the Coach and Horses, and met some of those persons. It was se v en o'clock, or a middlingltwa so s mestieks, adnadrk' but I could some pieces. ! g e tt e r): t e p s a a s w t stehveerne. were There were one or two guns. I know there was one gun. I saw ever so many about the road. I d on 't k now about swords. There were some pikes. I saw no pistols, but some mandrils. I do not know whether there were four or five. Ido not know how many. There certainly was one , but I don't know how many. There was more than oue gun, but I don't know how many. That was at t h e Coach and Horses, or on the road clove by. The people who came to my door had sticks. I don't know how many people there were. There were six there. There were seven. There were eight.. There were not twenty. There were from eight to twelve. None of those who came into the house had any other weapon than a stick. I had seen Mr. Frost a good many times up and down Blackwood before that, I knew him well enough to know him when I saw him. The deposition of this witness before the Magistrates at Newport was then read by the officer of the Court. Cross-examination resumed—l do not know whether I had been examined the day before I made this deposition I was examined two or three days. I was sober when I made this deposition and this mark at Newport, to be sure. The day before that on which I said I was sober I do not know whether I had been before the Magistrates. Chief Justice Tindal here called Sir Frederick Pollock, as he he had the Attorney-General near him on the bench, in order that they might privately consult 'together, so as to make come arrangement-with respect to the Jury. After a few moments' consultation together, Mr. Bellamy turned round to the Court and said—The gentlemen summoned on the Petit Jury may all return to their homes, but be back here on Wednesday morning at nine o'clock, those who do not return on Wednesday morn by nine o'clock will be ined. The Forman cf the Jury, in the Jury box, said one of the Jurors wanted to send home for something, and wished to have persnissicn from his Lordship for that purpose. Chief Justice Tindal replied—Certainly, every accom mociation.in that way would be given,to them ; the-Court also hoped to be able to make such arrangement as would enable them to get a little air. The Attorney- General observed that every facility would be afforded to enable the Jurers to communicate wtth their families for the purpose stated by the Foreman. Lord Granville Somerset hererearne into Court, and said that he had, on the part of the Grand Jury, to state to their Lordships, that they bed disposed of all the bills that had been before them, and if their Lordships thought it right, they would adjourn. Chief Justice Tindal said . that he was only sorry that he was not able to say the Grand Jury might separate. The public service might still require their presence ; but he had no objection that they should retire to their respective homes, and re t urn to t h e C ourt on Wednesday morning at nine o'cleek.—The Grand Jury then retired. Examination of the witness continued—l have heard that paper read which has my mark to it, and it is there put down that I did not hear what William Davis said. I had said to-day that William Davis said to the people, " Why don't you go on, you are enough to eat New. port." I did not like to say what I had heard be fore, as I thought I should have it" when I went home, and I told them so at the time. By saying I elieuld ‘• have it," I mean that I thought that all the neighbours would be all against me as one family if I said anything. I have been stopping at Nee poi t since my examination. i sent the paper now produced to the Magistrates about , half an hour after my• examination. I have be e n k e p t a t Nevi,;cl.; . Sir F. Pollock objected to the receipt of the piece of paper as evidence. After the witness had been examined in chief, it was now proposed to set ep his evidence by a piece of paper that be wrote to the Magistrates. Chief Justice Tindal asked to see what the paper was. After looking at it, he said—lt is not necessary ;it is bet ter not to put it in when there i 3 any doubt about"it. Examination resumed—Although I stated in the paper that I did not know what Mr. Davis said, for the reason I have stated, I mean now to swear that I heard him use the words I have mentioned. Sir F. Pollock—The depositions arc dated Nov. 5. By the Foreman—l was eight or ten yards from Davis, when he spoke about eating Newport. We were not in rank, we were all in a bunch together. There was not much noise at the time. They were speaking ; Mr. Frost was speaking at the time, and someof the others. There was some bother amongst them ; Mr. Frost would hear what Davies said ; they were close together. I did not roe Mr. Frost and Zephaniah Williams together at any time. By trying the guns, I mean that .the people were firing the guns to see if they would go off, not merely try ing them with the ramroads. I was not drunk whew I was Erst examined, so as not to know next day that I had been examined ; but I had been drunk. I remembered the next day what I had said. Davis's father keeps a shop up in Blackwood. Davis is a young man, in his fathcr'a em ploy. Ido not know hoar old he is ; but he is a young man. James Emery, examined by the Attorney- General. —I am a cabinet-maker, residing at Pontypool; I know William Jones, of Pontypool; he is a watchmaker by trade; I have known him better than tweire months; I recollect Sunday, the 3d of November last; I saw William Jones about eight o'clock in the morning of that day at Aber sychan, which I believe is a parish of itself, about a mile from Pontypool. It was at a beer shop, at Abersychan, that I saw him ; I do not know whether there was a Char tist lodge held there. There were. about twenty persons there. Jones told the people to be prepared by two o'clock, and to collect together as many as they could. He also ordered them to go to the race-course near Pontypool, about a mile nearer to Newport. I recollect his speaking of going round the hills to collect the Chartism together. I went in company with another who had takerna horse to him at David Richard's beer-house, at Abersychan, that morning. Ido not know whsre be we et to after he left us at Abersychan, but it had been sae, that he was to ride about to collect the Chartists. On the Sunday night I was at Jones's,' the " Bristol" beer-'0:1:=0. at Pontypool, about eight o'clock in the evening. The house is kept by the same 'Win. Jones, the watchmaker. I went then to see who:her there wee , eetieg there, as I had heard there was to be. There were a considerable number of persons as sembled in the house when I reached it. Some of them ere rented' with guns, sonic with pikes ; and others had weaneris which "cannot describe. Some persons were above stairs, aml some were below, in two roures on each floor. I 'remained at' the Bristob-beeieliouse about half an hour before I left it. I did not see Wiiiiam Davis there at all that night. I saw a person of the name of Sheller there. He was not armed, as far as I :taw. I heard him give direetions to the people outside the door to go et' to the race-course, and that Jones was gets off with 4 number of teen. He spoke to me of a house in.Tresernant whore there were areas. Ha said there were blunderhusses and some swords. The people lent towards the race-course. Theendid not form themselves at all here. I went to the race-course. It was about ten o'clOck, I should think, avilen I arrived tliel4. I foinid nereOes assembled in the abed opposite the `rac.acodrse. 1 . did not go on the course, but I could hear by their ejerentieg that some of them were Onn assae-.coiirse.

It was between ten and eleven o'clock when we arrived at the New Inn. The house was nearly full of people, a great number of whom arme3. I was taken inside. William Jones came up while I was there, and entered the home I heard him order the. men out repeatedly. lie told them to turn out and march towards Newport—that they.were expected by the people in three bodies—teat the pikee.weee to go first, 'and the guns next and the others with whatever weapons they could ,get en Jeans-deep Seem iss.aleewseade e -Thepilse- s - Men' Tertnecttherneeiees rank and Me, so, many abreast.

I had attended at their public meetings, which they held once a"- week for about a twelvemonth before. I was not at Monmouth when Vincent was tried. All the Chartists about there knew of his being sent to prison as soon as the news could reach Pontypool. The Chartists took a great interest in the matter. There were some two or three other Chartists convicted at the same time. recollect nothing about there being great dissatisfaction emote; the Chartists at the supposed ill treatment of Vincent. People's minds were excited by the treatment he had received, and there was something about a petition. That was sufficiently noto rious for me to have heard it. Altogether I was not a re gular member at that time ; I bad gone to meetings before as well as after I was a member. I went voluntarily to the meeting. I had no notice of it ; and it was only when I saw the numbers and the arma that I became alarmed and finally got away. By the Foreman of the Jury—l think the object of the petition was that Vincent should be released. John Parry examined by the Attorney-General—l live at Pont Neweilyn, about half a mile from Newport. I re collect Sunday, the 3d November, was then at work in the furnaces, helping the carpenter on that evening. After I had finished work I went home to my lodgings. About eight o'clock several people came in, armed with spears, and they told me " that I must come with thes.n." .1 asked leeve to take some victuals, and they told rue '• there was no time; that we ought to be there now." They did not say where. They took me to Lewellvn's beer house. That is not a quarter of a mile from my house. There were a great many people at Leweliyn's. I saw there but one man armed. He had a spear. Orders ware given to go down to the race-course. Two of the people who brought rue to Lewellyn's were armed. I went with them to the race-course, There were a great ember of eoele there, most 'of whom were armed with spears and guns. It was about ten o'clock when we arrived at the race-course. A very dark rainy n,ght. I ‘ did not see Jones on the race-course, but on tiie road clip&ite remained there abodt five. minutes. 'An order was given„ I believe bs Mr. Jories, to morels cn tewartis Newport. No more was Ordered.. The Mext marched fivii 'abreast. Tide spears marched in front.l:fie people 7,;10 same immediately after the spears had guns. They searched five abreast, on the turn e iken..eda towards Newport. I remember coming to a /Ace. called Crosi-e- Kylog, where we made it halt. While re were there Wil liam Jones came up, and ordered them all out, to much t .words Newport. A number of . the Men had gone into a public-house: At that time rreina ned be hind. All the others went out hut myself, 'and I thought to make my escape, and got bOhind a screen in the kitchen: William Jones came in end sew me, and told me if I did not come out he would blow out my brains. He drew his arm frotn his breast as he spoke, and then wentout and marched oniwith the rest tow:yds Newport. I saw Jones there. It was near one o'clock when we arrived there. I j remained therC about an hour, I should think, or more. I then made my escape from that house, and came home to l- Pont-y-peol, where I arrived about seven o'clock on Mon- , day morning. When I escaped the men remained at the turnpike-gee, waiting for the men who were to come frera Blackwood. Cross-examined by Sir n Pollock—l never was a Ceartist. I never attended a meeting,. I was once at 'a public meeting at Blackwood on Virhitsun Monday. I went with the rest of the people. I never acted as Secre tary to any meeting. I never was a Chartist, nor knew what a Chartist was. W. Roche, examined . by Mr. Sergeant Ludlow.—l am a collier, and live et Abercairn. About nine o'clock on Sunday ,evening, the 3d November, I went with Jones, the watchmaker, to the Bristol beer-house. The kitchen woe full. There was no room in it. Jones and I wer.t up stairs, and sat above. A pan of the name of Sheller asked me where my staff was. He then went down and brought up a jug of beer, and poured it out for the com pany. I saw one man with a brace of pistols. We went afterwards to Cross-y-Kylog. I went there to keep myself' safe, that I should not be pressed. It "as quarter to ten o'clock or hair -past nine when I left.: Jo.tes and Sheller went down stairs with me. - 13ofore• •we got up to go he said, " It is time, or else we shell be: too late." He got up and went down, and we fodowed him, He called me into the middle of the street.' He raid, " Here is a man that lives at the top of Trossmarit ; he .is one of our party. He is a real Chartist. There' are both guns and pistols there. Go. there and raise up the:latch of the door and take whq you like. He will say nothing at all to you." He told melt was the sccord house at the top of Trosemant, on the left band At Cross-y-Kylog, in the passage, Usu.; Jones frora eleven to twelve o'clock. He had something ni his hand, which I could not see. I went in because I ryas very wet. I did. not stop et the house at Trossmant. I went beyond the house, and a man who was sent by Sheller came after me, and said, ' This is the house."
