THE" CONSTITUTIONAL" ASSOCIATION.

The following Letter appeared in a Morning Paper
of this day, addressed to the Editor:

Sot—Having seen In your Journal of this morning several eze
cellent observations on the subject of the " Alock-Constitutienal
Association," and that an indictment had been preferred against
me before a Middlesex Grand Jury, I beg leave to state to you
the circumstances under which this prosecution has been at-
tempted, in order that my fellow,tradesmen may be urns their
guard against the insidious and savage attempts a this body.
WithoNt wishing to cast any reflections oil other Venders of
Political Papers and Pamphlets, I may be allowed to say, that
during the last few years of unprecedented political profteelition,
I have been extremely cautious what publications I retailiffi.uiy
principal occupation being that of a NeWfVender.
On the 16th of May last, a decently dressed youth eanklik,t
'my shop, and asked me for a copy of The l'alitiral Dietheart.
1 told him I had not got it; on which he said that be patties-
larly wished that I would get him a copy, and he would otAl
again for it ; which I consented to do. At that time I was Ut-
terly ignorant of art existence of such a work, except from the
advertisements in the public papers. lie called a second Ole,
in the course of the same day, and I promised to procure
a copy, which I afterwards accordingly purchased. About ve
o'clock he called a third time, and paid two shillings for it. This
copy was the only one I ever sold, and the work itself I never
read. The following day, my wife informed me that he bid
called agaiu in my absence, and asked for a second copy, which
she, of course, was not able to give him.
On Sanday last I received the Ant intimation of the indicts
ment from the columns of the J.Ast Bali newspaper, and that
the Grand Jury had thrown it out; I went immediately on Mon-
day mousing to the Crown Office. with my solicitor, Mr. Hey-
ward, of Took's-court, where, on inspecting the indictment, we
discovered that it was for retailing the above-mentioned copy of
The Political Dictionary," aril the name of Horatio Orton
(the brother, I believe, of the Mr. Orton who gave the repot
of the Manchester affair in the New Times) was indorsed arete
only witness. Being satisfied that this Horatio Orton was the
kind and urfent customer who purchased of me the only copy
ever sold of that work, Mr. Ilayward and I went yesterday tw
the office of the Mock-Constitutional Society, and, after several
calls, succeeded in identifying a clerk in the Bridge-street office,
as the person who bad so purchased the work of me, and who,
on my charging him-with it. admitted that he did to, and that be
was the same person whose name was indorsed on the back of
the indictment. I shall offer no comments on this transaction,
which is of a piece with the machinations of Oliver, Castles,
Majecchi, and Fletcher.

ineed not remark on the irreparable injury which such a pro-
secution might, but for the providential intervention of an up-
right Grand Jury, have entailed on an industrious man, with a
large family dependent on hib character and exertions for doily
support. _ _ _

Mr. Hayward asked Orton, as his name was the only one on
the indicunt, whether he was the prosecutor? To which he
answered, zrutipy not." Mr. Hayward then asked who
was the prosecutor which he peremptorily refused to answer,
saying that we might find that out as we could hereafter.
Leaving this 44 Mock-Constitutional Sudety," these Minded
conspirators, to your care and protection,
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
F.DWD. ICING.

Newspaper Office, 25, Chancery-lane, June
ES. To put the Public on their guard against the tools of this
Association, I beg leave to subjoin a description of the above-
mentioned Horatio Orton ; about five feet six inches high, moon-
faced, dark eye-brows, pallid sickly-looting complexion, and a
mincing mode of speaking, culoured clothes, with a dandified
quadrilling sort of gait. _ •

The following Placard was posted up yesterday in every part
of the town :

A Jury in Richmond (Virginia) not being able to
agree on a verdict in a criminal case, have been kept
together neatly four weeks, ani are likely to remain
in durance until the Court adjourns.
A few days since a distressing accident occurred
at Stoke, in the neighbourhood of Coventry. Several
persons had been employed in cleaning a well nearly
seventy feet in depth, and the task being completed,
a young man expressed an inclination to go down to
examine the bottom. He accordingly descended,
and on wishing to return, was told by the persons
above to place himself in a secure situation, and to
hold fast. When he had been wound up half-way,
he answered to an inquiry from above, " all is
right ;" but in a moment a sound announced his fall
to the bottom of the well, where about two feet of
water remained. A girl instantly ran to a small dis-
tance, and apprised the brother of the young man,
who, though ill himself, without a moment's-hesita-
tion got into the bucket ; but they had only lowered
him a few feet when the handle of the windlass,
being of wood, broke, and precipitated him with the
greatest rapidity to the bottom. The person who
was lowering him, endeavouring to check the wheel
with his 'hand, had his right arm broken, and was
dashed against an adjoining wall ; yet aware that two
lives were at stake, he instantly rushed-forward, and
with the other hand endeavoured to stop it, but in
vain. With breathless anxiety the men above listened,
after the second fell, whether arty sound proceeded
from them. To their great joy die second brother
was heard to request them to draw him up immedi-
ately, or he should faint in the water. When at the
top he informed them that he fell just clear of his
brother, and found him with his head in the mud
under water ; he could speak but indistinctly: that
raising him up he found he was alive ; and placing
him against the side of the well, he found he mu.l
immediately ascend or sink himself. Ori hearing
this, a person who declined going down in the fir t
'instance, descended, and fastening the unfortunate
young man to the bucket, they were (the windlass
being broken) drawn up with great difficulty toge-
ther. Medical assistance was promptly obtai..ed,
but the pot young man, after 1 iriguishi tg. through
the next day, mostly speechless and delirious, et-
pired in the night. It is believed, from several ti--
cumstances, that distrusting the strength of the chain
attached to the bucket, he had placed his feet upon
the knot where the rope commenced ; but slipping
from it when half-way up, he was unable to retain
his hold. His head was much bruised. The brother
received several braises, which, together with his
gri,ef and previous indisposition, it was feared wt ull
prove fatal, but he is in a fair way of recovery.
