On Thursday last, Joseph Haynes Brandis,
one of the Committee of the Birmingham Union
Society, was apprehended, under a Warrant from
our Magistrates, on the charge of being the writer
of a Seditious Libel on the Government, tending to
subvert the Constitution. He was bailed on Mon•
day last by Robert Worlock, of Canal-street,
Builder, and Joseph Morral, Canal-street, Baker
and Salesman, himself in 2001. and his sureties in
1001, each.

At a meeting of the. heritors of Inveresk, and
inhabitants of Musselbnrgh and its vicinity, call-.
ed by the Magistrates, and held in the Town
Hall, on Monday the 20:h instant, which Wa3 both
numerously and respectably attended, a consi-
derable number enrolled themselves to serve
as volunteers without pay, and as speci4l con-
stables, as 'circumstances may require. At the same
time a very liberal subscription was entered into
to give assistance and employment to the labour-
ing and necessitons poor of the parish.
'The British brig Charles, Capt—Knight, which,

FOR THE SUN.

ON THE CONSPIRACY' i 0 DISTRESS THE COUNTRY
BY REDUCING THE REVENUE.

" All the misrepresentations of the actions and
" motives even of our enemies are unjustifiable
" and criminal but an attempt thus to degrade
" and parnlize our own Country goes as far be-
" yond the other as the crime of a parricide ex-
" ceeds that of a common mur&rer ; and when

" this is coennitted lindrr the pretence 'of pa-

" ttiotistn and candour, the most abandoned
" guilt is av,gravated by the tnost infamous by-

" pocricy."—STPRISMA, p. 121.
MR. EntToß—The above Conveys so true a
picture of the conduct uf the (4egraded wretches
who •met together to welcome the arrival of that
arch bylonri/e COBBETT, at the Crown and An-
chor,' that I cannot refuse myself the Itle,sute
of thus tnatk;ng their disgraceful effort to injure;
insult, and, if possible, ruin their native Coml.
try.

' 'that a set of men should have been found in
the Metropolis of the Empire, whose desperate
CIIVy of the wealth and happiness of ()the's, should
catty them to the length of thus publicly exposing
their tile intention to strike at the rout of the
Revenue and the power of its Government, is al-
most_ incredible ; or that they shouN, in their ma-
lignity, flatter themi'elves that their contemptible
example would he followed by rational beings, is
equally ridiculous ; for could they really hope
that their abstinence from certain taxable coot-
molities for a short space of time, would be fol-
lowed by the downfall of the Nation, and suc•
cceded by the indiscriminate spoiliation they so
furiously pant after ? Yet such, it seems, seas
the pass to which the three Radical men, who
coalesced at this Assembly, had brought their un-
happy supporters.
That Hunt should fly to Cobbett for pro'ection,is
as natural as that Cobbett should skulk under the
banners of the deserted Hmit, after bring driven
out of Manchester by the execrations of every
humane and honest man : for, in his attempt to
open the bleeding wounds Hunt had inflicted on
that place, he shelved himself more callous than
the former, whose cowardice or conscience (no
matter which) had made him decline the cruet
office a second time—it was indeed a picture
to make the Devils laugh, to behold . The
Black Dwarf offering his burning hand to the
great Political Renegado, decorated with the
withered bones of the Blasphemer he had so often
insulted when in the grave, and to hear him cant
about giving then) burial in consecrated ground.

To hear them all three too denying their once
admired master, the horrible Carlile, now they
think his wicked Work is done, and fearing that
even in that small deluded Assembly there might
be men ready to pluck them down had they
avowed the doctrines they have so long and
ardently promoted, the demoralizing the ignorant
and youthful part of the labouring Poor in Towtt
and Comtry.
Like bags, how they clung together on this evil
amen'd occasion, and with what deep dissimula-
tion they quaffed the pure element, whilst they
hoped to convert their ignorant followers by this
means to their impure designs—it can only be
equalled by the excesses, with which, no doubt
they closed the evening when in private conclave
they unitedly laughed at Ito it followers. Yet
still under that hysteric laugh there must have.
luri.ced sonic sadness and distnay when contem-
plating what may be the ultimate result of their
desperate sinations—fear of being included in a
Conspiracy to diminish the Revenue by their ex-
hortations,; alarms, lest the mob shottld desert
them in some critical moment ; a certainty that
they can never make their peace with the Corm-
y ; and a forebodiug, that should they succeed
in procuring the object of their wishes, they may
be the first to tall. That every gond su!)ject's
hand is against them, as theirs is against every
honest 1111111 who loves his Country and its Peace ;
these and the certain, feeling, which no sophistry
can shake off, that there is a God. who will take
vengeance on their crimes, must have sent each of
them when they separated at midnight to a gloomy
couch, and a feverish repose—with my loyal hopes
that, their reign may he short.
I am, Sir, your's,

EXECUTION.--This morning Mr. Under Sheriff
Tunbutt attended at Newpte, to carry into effect
the last melancholy mandate of tire law on the
following unfortunate persons, convicted at the -
Oc!olger Sessions :—John Booih, for purloining
❑►oney front letters that passed . through . his
hands in the capacity of a Post-office Clerk ;
and Thomas Wildish, for uttering as true, know-
ing them to be forged, several notes of the
Bank of Messrs. Minett and Factor, at Dover. At
precisely a quarter past eight, Wildish - •

the scaffold with great firmness,
Rev. Mr. COTTON and Mr. BAKER,
the time the executioner was perfortni..g his
office, the unfortunate man joined in prayer,
and sting a hymn .aloud with great fervour.—
Booth shortly after came up, and behaved with
great propriety ; and, after a short interval spent
in prayer, the trio culprits joined the Clergymen
in singing a hymn, and at halt past eight the drop
fell, and they were dead in* a few seconds. After
hanging the usual time, they were cut down.---
Bootl► was deliverer) to his friends, and the.f,a-
ther of Wildish received his body, for interment
at Feversham in Kent, of which place he was a
native; and we are sorry to find lie has left a
wife and child to lament his ignominious end.—.
Booth being a man of most respectable connec-
tions, great interest was exerted to obtain a mi-
tigation of punishment, but the reply to hticA ap-
pllcation was, " That it had been determined to
c4rry into effect tf.ie full sentence of the law in all
cases of conviction for Post-office Robberies,"--,
It is a singular circumstance, that one of the
cuarges against the unfortunate mall was for tak-
ing a note from a letter on the morning on which
two persons were executed for a similar offence.
A great number of persons were present, some.of
whom joined the unfortunate men in the Etyma
they were singing.
