APPREHENSION OF FEARGUS
O'CONNOR,
Feargus O'Connor, who had hitherto steered clear
of the meshes of the law in any part he might have
taken in the recent Chartist disturbances, has at
length been apprehended by the police authorities,
and lodged in, custody on a charge of sedition.
It appears, 'that .in consequence of eertain.discOve-
ries recently made by . the Magistracy of Manchester,
it was determined by that body to issue a warrant
for the apprehension of ;Mr. O'Connor, and that the
warrant was placed in the herds of an officer, who
came to town for the purpose;oleffecting his capture,
in which he succeeded on Friday morning at an early
hour.

. ,
Mr. O'Connor was taken at his awn residence at
Hammersmith, at half-past six u'elock, and conveyed to
the police statiorApuse in
.Gardener's-lane, West-
minster.
Infonnatich of the fact of his apprehension having
been given at the Honae•Office, -a messenger was dis-
patched to request the presence of the Solicitor-Gene-
ral, Sir W. Follett. ' • ' '.•
'
Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of • Bow-street
Police Court, attended by Mr. Burnaby, • his clerk,
' arri'ved at the Home-offiCe shortly afterwards; for the
purpose of taking a private examination of the pri-
soner; he was, however, removed to Bow-street,
where, shortly after one o'clock, he and John Arch-
bold Campbell, who keeps a shop for the sale of Char-
tist publications, No. 180, - High `Holborn, were
brought up in the custody of Inspector Hughes, A
division, and M'Mulle, of the. Manchester police, for
the purpose of entering into recognizances on a
charge of sedition at Manchester in the month of
August last.
The case was disposed of -in, the Magistrate's pri-
vate room, Mr. Hall not being the sitting Magistrate
of the day.
Mr. Waddington, barrister, and Mr: Faulkner;
solicitor, attended on the part of the Crown to watch
the proceedings; and Mr. Concannon, a solicitor, ap-
peared on the part of O'Connor.
Mr. Henry, the Magistrate of Lambeth-street, and
Mr. Wray, the Receiver-General of the police force,
were also present.
O'Connor being 'conducted into the room,
Mr. Burnaby, the ' chief clerk, proceeded to read
the warrant of Mr. John Frederick -Foster, a Magis-
trate of Manchester, which charged O'Connor with
" having on the 17th of August, with divers other
persons, unlawfully and Wickedli Conspired, confe-
derated, and agreed to excite her Majesty's liege sub-
jects to sedition and disaffection against the laws of
this realm, and to cause 'insurrection' riots, tumul-
tuous and illegal assemblies, and by force, violence,
and intimidation, to prevent certain of her Majesty's
subjects from following their lawful occupations, and
to force them' to depart therefrom, and to disturb the
peace of our said Lady the Queen, and 'the kingdom
of England." - • -
Mr. Waddington said, he had the honour to' appear
on the part of the Crown, and he was willing to hear
what answer the defendant had to make to the charge.
The defendant replied, he had performed a most
magnanimous act, in preventing the people from Com-
mitting outrages, and he never considered he should
be called upon to account for such conduct. ' "
Mr. HALL said, that whatever confessions the de-
fendant had to make, or .whatever examinations he
had to undergo, should be taken in the regular course
before the Magistrates at Manchester, it being his
duty merely to apportion the amount of bail after a
plea had been "put in to the charge.
The defendant replied, he-had no answer to make,
except that het'tyaa. p,9 t:) guilty of thefuharge, hut he..
wished theexamination of his physician to be taken as
to the state of his health. He would in a short time
be prepared with bail if required, and, as to the
charge, he had no more t4' say, except that in conse-
quence of the active nieitaßres he had adopted to pre-
vent serious outrages takilikg place on the Corn-law
question, he had been cliarged by the press with being
in the pay of the Tory Nrty. ..
Mr. HALL—Then I am to understand you mean to
put in bail ? t.
The defendant re lie ;.--
pild 1
ikthe affirmative.
Mr. Waddington obsgired, that if bail was pro-
cured in London, the Viiindant could not know the
nature of the depositions, nt if that was not done, he
should be forthwith coiNyed to Manchester, where
the case would be gone .146.
The defendant said, heywould prefer putting in bail
before Mr. Hall, from whom he would meet with
every kindness; but if he was compelled to appear
before the Bench in Manchester, he was sure to meet
with insult, although he had done much good, which
the Magistrates there would not readily admit.
Mr. HALL—Then you are ready and willing at
present to put in bail ?—The defendant said lie would
before the rising of the Court.
Mr. HALL—Are you under other recognizances at
present ? ' Defendant—Yes ;to keep the peace..
Mr. HALL;—Was that upon a Government prose-
cution ? Defendant—Yes ; I was obliged to find bail
after I was discharged from York Castle.
Mr. Waddington begged to observe that the Go-
-1 vernment. did not wish to press for excessive bail,
although the charge was of a very serious nature.
Mr. HALL said, the charge in the warrant was of a
character very little short of treason, and the public
would naturally expect that the amount of bail re-
quired would be commensurate with the offence, and
in case it was procured within a reasonable time, the
defendant might be saved the trouble of being sent to
Manchester. The amount of bail he should call upon
the defendant to enter would be, himself in the sum of
1,000/., and two sureties in 500/. each, to answer to
the charge at the next gaol delivery at Manchester.
' The defendant thanked the 'Magistrate, and he was
conducted by the officer into an adjoining room. '
The other defendant was then brought in, and
having admitted he ' was the person charged in the
warrant, said, that havifig been only a few hours in
custody, he had had no time to communicate with his
friends, who would procure the required sureties.
Mr. Waddington told him the same time would be
allowed him to find bail as if the offence was commit-
ted in London, which was until the rising of the Court.
Mr. HALL told the defendant 'he had time enough
to send to his ,friends, and the amount of bail he should
require would be, himself iii.-8001. add two sureties in
4001. each, to answer the charge at the next gaol de-
livery' at Manchester.
Defendantoh ! that's impossible ; in fact it's
tantamount to saying I Must 'be sent to prisan, for. I
cannot procure such bail. * '
Mr. HALL said, the 'Only reason why he made any
difference in the amount of bail was, that he was in a
more humble sphere of life than the other defendant,
although the nature of the charge in the warrant was
the same.

Mr. Waddington, said, it only remained to have
the defendant conveyed to Manchester in custody by
the officer.----The defendant was then removed.
In the course of the evening Mr. Cleave, of Shoe-
lane, Fleet-street, and Mr. Oldfield, of Bolt-court,
Fleet-street, were accepted as sureties for O'Con-
nor, and after a description was taken of the several
letters which were found upon him, he left the Court
accompanied by his friends.

ARREST OF TEN CHARTISTS
FOR CONSPIRACY,
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—This morning consider-
able interest was excited in Manchester
on inwacrora
'lnsets-
granted at the instance of the Government solicitors,
on charges, it is said, of a very serious nature, arising'.
out of the recent outbreak in the manufacturing' dis-
tricts. It is said the charges are of a much more
grave character than any which have yet been made,
and in which are included several leading Chartists.
About one o'clock the Stipendiary Magistrate, Mt.
Maude, and several other Magistrates, took their seats
in the New Bailey Court. There were also on the
bench Colonel Wemyss and Sir Charles Shaw.
The following prisoners were then- placed 'at the
bar :—The Rev. James Scholefield, James Leech,
John Massey, Robert Rarnsden, Bernard M'Cartney,
Thomas Railton, Christopher Doyle, James Ellison.
John Norman, arid William Scholefield.
Mr. Gregory, the solicitor, employed by Govern-
ment, said the prisoners at the bar were charged with
a conspiracy, along with a great number of others,
not as yet in custody, and, underthese circumstances,
he had to apply, on the part of the Crown, that they
should be remanded until Tuesday next. He under-
stood that there was one person in custod along with
f
his son, and that it would be a matter o very great
inconvenience for both of them to be absent from their
duties at once; and it having been intimated to him
that if one of the party were at liberty it would be of
very great importance to them, he was ready to con-
sent to any reasonable application which might be
made, so as to secure attendance on Tuesday next.
Mr. Cobbett, who appeared for the two SchOlefields
and Leech, said the application was for rather a long
remand,' when no other reason was stated, except
that other parties were implicated in the same
charge. Under any circumstances the • cases could
be as easily proved against the parties in custody in
the absence as in the presence of others implicat 1
with them ; and, therefore, five days' imprison-
ment was rather too long, unless it was intended' -----

ment was hourly expected. . .
The other prisoners were then separately asked
what they had to say against the remand. 1 hey all
declined saying anything.
Mr. Gregory said he had very little, to say . in
answer to what had been said by the professional ad-
visers of the prisoners. With regard to Leech, he
had only to observe that the charge now made against,
him was totally distinct from those on which he had
been held to bail ; • and although those were of .
serious nature, yet not so serious as• the present: if
• Mr. Cobbett—Perhaps Mr. Gregory will state-
what the charge is ? Mr. Gregory--It. is a charge a
conspiracy.
Mr. Bent hoped Mr. Gregory would say what•were
the particulars of the charge.
I Mr. Gregory—Certainly I shall not. It is a charge
of conspiracy of a very serious nature, and quite (life! tinet from any yet brought forward. • . Mr. MAUDE said the question ibr.their considera-
tion was, whether the remand asked by the prose-

the parties. The Bench were of opinion that it was,
and should therefore grant it.
The Rev. Mr. Scholefield urged on the Bench the..
necessity of admitting him to bail, as he had duties to-
perform which no one could do but himself; and,. • with regard to his son, he understood the charge
against him was- Jim publishing the seditious placard,
with which he had no more to do than Mr. Gregory
himself. He trusted, therefore, both would be set
at liberty, and, if life was spared him, he would ap-
Tear. on Tuesday.
Mr. Gregory stated that-he understood the applica•
tion made to him was, that the son might be sat ut
liberty, and to that he was ready to consent on his
giving bail. • •
.Mr. Maude—Then let that be so. -
Cobbett then applied for Leech's liberation. -
Mr. Maude said the case -must stand remanded to
Tuesday, and the only indulgence that .could be
granted must be the liberation of the younger Schole-
field on his giving two sureties in 100/. each for his
appearance on Tuesday.
Mr. Cobbett said Leech must be tried in a few daysby the

defeat of the ends of justice. from preparing hishe
Mr. Maude said he bad already had a month to ,
prepare his defence, and every fitcility would be afforded
him for that purpose during his imprisonment.
The prisoners were then remanded, with the excep- •
tion of Win. Scholefield, who was liberated on bail.

The match between the Corsair and the Talisman
is not likely to be decided till to-morrow; they started
at four o clock 3esterday, but it blew so hard from
E.N.E., that there was only one yacht present to see
them off, the yachtsmen preferred taking up their
quarters at Yarmouth to sec them start. Every car-
riage was put in requisition, and the town has seldom
been seen so full. The start was a very good
one, the Corsair having a trilling advantage ;, at this
time they had may a stay-sail and' jib set, the gale
raging so that mainsails were-.out of the question ;
they soon, however, got , their aquare sails upon them,
and ran out of sight. It is supposed they rounded the
Eddystone about tour this mourning ; the wind is now
dead against their return. The Corsair is still the
favourite, though a strong feeling has been created ipt
