_On Tuesday evening last, as we learn from a report in
the glizsguiv Argus, one of the most numerous and in-
teresting public meetings of the members and friends of
the Glasgow Emancipation Society that have taken place
in that city for many years, was held in St. John7street.
Church, " for the purpose of remonstrating against so
flagrant a, violation of the rights of humanity as is in-!
volved in, the conduct of the authorities of South Caro-,
-ling, in sentencing JOHN BROWN to be hanged for the
crime of aiding the escape of a female slave." The case
of this ill-starred young man is—as regards the conduct
of those who convicted him—the most disgraceful we
ever 'remeinber to have heard of, even in the just, tole-
rant, and enlightened country .of Lynch-law. He was
tried, it May be recollected, at New Orleans some three
or four months since, for having assisted a poor defence=
less female slave to escape from the. intolerable tyranny
of her master; and for, this act, so highly creditable to
hi§ humanity, he was sentenced by one Judge O'NEu.L
to be hanged! In passing on him this awful sentence,
the judge—compared with whom our. own ScnouGs and
JEF:FRIES are prodigies of discretion and clemency—
took the opportunity of reminding him that, he had
sinned grievously, not only against the laws of GOD,
but, what this judicial functionary seemed to think of
far more consequence, against the laws of man; and
conjured him, in a strain of the most impious and sicken-
ing cant, to make the best use of the, short time allotted
him on earth, by reading. the Bible with attention, and
humbly and reverently imploring pardon of his RE-
DEEMER. Conceive the daring effrontery of a man who
publicly in a court of justice could recommend his
victim to. peruse a work, scarce a line in which
but tended to convince him of his own inno-
cence, and the atrocious inhumanity of his judge !
What says our Sevioun, in one of the- most impressive
chapters in Holy Writ ? "Blessed are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy !" And this is the volume which
the man'O'NEm conjures his destined victim to study
with attention, in order that he may store his mind with
the wholesome precepts it contains ! Whetewe think
we hear our readers asking—where did this public bur-
lesque on. all reason, all justice, all humanity, take place ?
Was it among the half-savage squatters of, the, back-
woods of America, in some town just redeemed from the
Sorest, where Lynch-law is,the only law known and re-
spected ? Was it in an uncivilised locality like this
that the trial and condemnation of Jour:- BROWN oc-
curred'? , Far otherwise. It was in one. of the most
populous, flourishing, and intelligent cities in the United
States—viz., New. Orleans, whose wealthy inhabitants
pique themselves on their superior refinement—their
morality-7their civilisation—and GOD knows how many
valuable qualities besides !It was here—in broad day-
light7in an open court of justice7-and in the year
1843—that a wan was publicly. sentenced to be hanged
for the commission of an act which, in Europe, would
have won for him the esteem and admiration of his fel-
Jaw-citizens ? How the jury who- tried and the judge
who condemned JonN BROWN, can reconcile his murder
—for murder it is, if not in a legal .at least !in a moral
sense—to their consciences, we cannot. for the life of us
understand ; and still less can we understand how an
enlightened community like that of New Orleans could
have sanctioned 'such a deliberate atrocity by their ap-
proval. Shame on all, parties concerned in this black
deed—a deed which should. brand their names with in-
famy, and fill their breasts with remorse to the last hour
of their lives ! America has Much—very much to an-
swer for, outraging, as she is continually doing, the first
principles!of justice andlumanity. Repudiator—or, to
speak in plain English—swindler as she is, slave-owner
too, and consequently murderer on a wholesale scale,
she has done more injury to the democratic principle
throughout Europe than she will be able to repair by
centuries of enlightened legislation. It is to her that
despots point exultingly in justification of the doctrine's
of Absolutism ; and from her mischievous example they
derive their strongest arguments against the' expe-
diency of making any further political concessions to
their subjects.

The Madrid journals of the 13th, those, .of course,
underAhe authority of the Governmentjor no others are
published,. applaud the zeal and vigour shown by the
Government at Alicant and Lugo. They also contain
official dispatches from General. Ppo SiirdPEß;, dated,
;Lugo, the Bth instant, detailing the
,execution, on that
day, of CesTmovaAli, a priest, F. FERNAIiDEz, and two
brothers, named emir:tn.. " They 'Were tried,"' says the
General, in his report to the Minister of War,
" an& executed to7day. I bad not • flattered
myself that CAsTaoviLAa would, make any im-
portant diaolosures, and Lay..opinion' has been justified
by the event. IlEs accomplices- and he suffered death
with resignation and repentance, thus offering a useful
exaniple to the immense crowd that witnessed this mili-
tary execution." RONCALI had left Alicant for Cartha-,
geaa on the,ptii, and Fe may, therefore, reckon upon a
similar atrocious dispatch from him in a few days.

The discussion in ,the French Chamber of Deputies
on the vote of I;000,000f...for secret service money, was
:brought to u close on-Tuesday, when, an. amendment to
reduce the amount by 80,000 f.. was rejected by a large
majority. 04. Monday the moat .remarkable speech
was made, by, that singular„ personage,.. M. LEDRU
Ii9LLINi who attacked the. .foreign pap)? •of the Go-
vertutient,•and attributed irresponsible acts to the Ki tct
without consulting his Ministers. He alhided to the
frequent changes. of Ministry in France, and asserted
flea it was owing to the Cabinet never having suffieient
libertiof action that the foreign policy. of France was
so unsuccessful. lie instanced the Syrian question and the
rig') t'of search,. in which the AmbassadOr had received in-
struetions evidently not proceeding from the MinistrY. Ile
Was. interrupted by calls' of " Order," when Marshal
SEDiSTIANI said the #on...Deputy was committing &
grave...fault in introducing in, the Chamber, Under a:
transparent.veil, a name which ought never.to be men-
tioned in-their discussions; -4 If there was blaine;" pro-
ceeded the Gallant, Manhal; "I was the OnlY person to
blame, for I never 'received any.order communication
except from the Ministry," The speaker, ,neverth4ess,
recurred to-the subject,' when the President interfered,
and said the 'Hon. Deputy ought to he 'aware that . no
alhision Such as he. was evidently making could, betole-
rated.' : Ministers or Ainbassadors could alone men-
tioned in the diseu,ssions of the Chamber. M. LEDRU
um-again proceededinthe same straini-and asked, since
M.= Gutzor pretended. that- it was- only advice' he. had
received,
:whether that declaration could extend to
intercepting ilispatches.Cries -of " Oh 4. oh, non-
sense.") He IVould ask if it could be alleged that the
Crown only gave counsels,-when M.-n.{lEO6 declared that
he ought to have known everything, and was riot in-
formed of : all ?—(Fresh noise 'and disapprobation.)
M. GvizoT said there was not a single Minister of those
to whoM the Ilon. Deputy had just alluded, who:hacl
ever refuted to take 'on himself the responsibility of the
sets now ,spoken of. In every ease 'a-lidded' to by the
Hon. Deputy there waS a Minister to colter 'the'acts
his; responsibility.
.speak in the name of a 1
those Ministers, and.declare that not any one of those
acts. "had' beerx disavowed. M, de LAMARTINE also at-
tacked the. foreign policy of the Minister, and said,
"whilst every slay. the offidia/ language declared an inti-
mate accord between. -England sand France, a secret
enmity was at the bottom of men's hearts. It was this
sentiment, which caused that if -two ships of the .two
nations met 4,000 leagues 'off, a' 'collision was to be
feared; it was this feeling which pkevented the present
GovernMent,- pessesiing thef numerical majority, from
giving the slightest movement to .the•heini of the State,
without fearing to . strike against • some hidden rock.
The consequence was Government could not perform
the ttmnonest act of-government, without exciting the
threatening susceptibilities of, the country. That sni!
eeptibility reacted on the Government, and. produced
such, conduct as increased the. general distrust. Were a
French, officer, for instance, when actuated by a feeling
of patriotism, tofire a popit'ar cannon-Shot 4000' leagues
Off, at once the Ministry disavowed him, and sent another
in hiS Place." M. GUIZOT, without leaving his place, in
a few words,: defended the Government. For three'years
they had preserved peace, and 'without 'any sacrifice
of the'honotte Fran Ce. On Tuesday AL
