Manchester Paper from which we have copied the
above contains not anothtr word respecting either
the Magistrates and Police, or the Cinispnrators and
their intended attack, from one end of it to the Zither!
his this silence been induced by fear of the powers
conferred co Magistrates by the Sedition Bill?—or
terror of the vengeance of the Conspirators ? Which.
ever be the fact, the consiieratimi citotit-nt but prove
distressing to every sober-minded person, wino Icels
as he ought for the happiness and welfare of society.

a most impressive address, which, we trust, will not
be forgotten, either by the prisoners or the rest of his
bearers.
