COMMITTAL FOR SEDITION AT TILE WF.ST AIDING
CIIAILTILST alnhttso.—On Thursday last, Ambrose Tom-
linse.n, a mechanic, who hail been apprehended at Leeds on
Wednesday afternoon, wlilst at work, was examined liefor,
the magistrates acting at Bradford, in their private room it
the courthou,e tiers. Toe warrant ch aged the prisoner
on the information of Mr. H. H. Thompson, a short hand
writer for the Leeds Mercury, with having, oa the 12th of
June Wet., at we town:hip of North Brierley, in the West
Riding of wicki (Ey, maliciously, and tedi.iously
uttered, prin.ouneed, and declared certain scandalous,
wicked, malicious, an I seditious words, of and concerning
our lady the Quo: n at.d her government, against the peace
of our said lady the Qua n, her crown and dignity. The
prisoner is aheatt 22 years of age. Some formal evid, nee
having Ince given. the prisoner was remanded fur further
examinatior. yeaterday. On leaving the court le W. 19 ob-
served to be in tears. Y. sterday he was again brourht up.
The examination w..s again taken in private before if. W.
Wickham, E. 1., cit ormun, and other magistrates.—Mr.
Thompson, the re perks, stave evidence of the speech delive d
by •he 1 ri'o.ctr, in se.onoling a vote of thanks ti the elyiirtitari
for his revvices in the c,:air, in which the prisoner, after
denouncing tha Queen's government as a base, brutal,
plundering, Boort., g. middle-class government, with
which the nation was cursed; and asserting that hundreds
of the middle el.nto s so, r, upon the brink of hsakruptcy,
and that thousands o' the working classes were pining fur
want, went on to inquire U the persons assembled before him
were determined to destroy the vicious institutions which
now existed 2 If they were, then he would say, get prepared
for the worst. Let the British lion growl first, as he wee do-
ing at that moment ; sed if their bese rulers would not take
heed, then he would sa,---ict the British lion put his paw
upon those that pror.iked them to desperation, and hurl
them fr• Ill power. Let them hurl from power the supporters
of existing eqohlishmnts, and let them be prepared to erect
in their stead ins, itate.on which would confer pace and
prosperity and upon every member of this vast
eiammerval en pi.e. Let them grant equal political privi•
Isges to eve ry aim of the human family. They might wait
for the middle cheese doing this; but if they were waiting
in expectation the! th. se privileges would be yielded
to them, they might wait till doomsday in the
afternoon, acid be no nearer the end than they
now were. Then, if they wished to be free, let
them instantly orga ise themtelves, and if they did so, they
might b..pe to succcd. L t the three words," Agitate, agitate,
agitate," be now c'oang..l to the words " Prepare, prepare,
prepare." Atter Mr. Thompson's deposition had been reed
over, the prisoner put to him a few questions, with a view
to show that he had read from a book or paper the observa-
tions he had made. The magistrates determined on com-
mitting the prisoner t. York Castle for trial, but informed
him that he might be di.charged on his own recognisanoes
in the sum of MI., and two sureties of 1001. each, or four
at 601. each, with twen•y-four hours' notice of hail.

Tits CATAMARAN.—Yeaterday morning, about six I
o'clock, liely's flexible floating cylinder, with its combine,
tonne, was subjected to a salt-water test. The catamaran, as
this newly-invented patent life-preserver is called, was
launched amid the firing 01 cannon ; but the time of starting
being so early comparatively few people were present, oil-
%bough on the two pre v owe days, at the hours animenced fur
departure, throngs of people had congregab d on the beach.
In fact, the catamaran has give* the be-a-bed bilks of Dover
the slip at its departure, but wo expect they will be more
fortune'', in catching a glimpse of its arrival from Boumitne.
The catamaran, on being launched, was anchored a few yard.
off the shore for about half en hour. At the . xpiration of this
time it was rowed clear off the land, and then
its big-sail having been set it edged away, untier canvas, to-
wards 11. ml mne, the wind considerably abaft the beans, end
was out of sight in a Ti .sonebly brief space of time. TM'
crew on board the Catamaran consisted of four 1) .nor ill:Mi-
lers, Mr. liely, the inventor, and another gentleman. A
Dover lugger, with twenty or thirty people on board, accom
panic.' the expedition. k rom the rate at a Melt the novel
craft was moving while in sight it was reckoned she would
reach the port of her destination before noon. Mr. liely is
to present a model of his invention to the French govern-
ment authority at Boulogne ; and it is stated that great lire-
nitrations have there been made for his reception This
ceremony over, Mr. 11,1 y intends posing the night at Ih.u-
logue, and then return to 1) ,ver on the following morning.

SPORTING.
HAMPTON RACES.
The disgraceful minute in which the racing was span out
on Thursday mixed our remoter, with many who., to miss the last
train from Ether, and made hs arrival in town eo late, that to give
more than a return of the sport wax out of the question. It was in
every mime a Hampton "grand day"_ a burning sun, dusty roads, •
crowded view, heats ad fo,finition, and a apinhing out of the time
that none but Mr Worsens would have attempted, ano none but a Hamp-
ton ounmany would base tolerakal. When wc state that nearly six hours
were davrolt d away ere the Queen's Plate was over, that it was after
7 o'clock when the Leto fur the Erkeeper's Plate commented, and
nearly a quarter I I time before they were finished, it will be under.
.tissi that nothie was hurried. This woo not the only objcOlon..lito
cotton., in the management: the course was by no means writ kept,
the bones were detained three than, ea long at the post on Were wan
any oceepion for, and there were Wee starts both fur the mile and
two mile heats for which no peesitle escuse can be offered. In short,
the "grand" object of this "grand" day won to keep the company on
the ground until their patience m well as their money.wis exhau.sted,
And who Mull pay that it was not accomplished? Its high time the
management of thew raw was placed in other hands.
