THE ECONOMIST AND THE LIVERPOOL CUR-
RENCY REFORM ASSOCIATION.

A fortnight since we published some correspondence
which had passed between the Economist and the Liver-
pool Financial Reform Association. That organ of the
oullionists has declined to publish the Association's reply

to his last article, and we shall therefore do it fo:

r. Witness was also present on ttie to
a meeting on the North Shore, Hopper, Somers, and Dr.
Reynolds were there. /vI'L:-.,an. the chairman, spoke
first, afterwards Jones spoke and Dr. Reynolds followed.
The witness read Dr. Reynolds' speech, which was of a
levelling character, and denunciatory of Lord John Rus-
sell's government. the police, the law and its officers in
general, and in which the speaker gloried in the defeat of
the English troops in India, and -called upon the people
to form clubs, and to arm and organize themselves, as
they were doing in Ireland, where they did not intend to

fighting for it, and concluded by stating that he bad been
as seditious as he could, and defied the Government to
touch him. Witrtess read next a speech by Hopper, one
of the prisoners, denouncing the conduct of Government
towards John Mitchell, and calling upon the meeting to
draw the sword. A speech by Somers, accusing the
authorities of packing Mitchell's jury, and abusing the
editor of the Journal follcwed.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here offered to produce the
notice in the Albion of the nroceedin2s before Mr. Rush-

he case of Dr. Reynolds' c-omplaint; but

fidrew the point he had intended to raise upon

Jabez, policeman, attended a meeting on the 6th
of June, in Circus-street, at which were several of the
prisoners, and took notes of the proceedings, which con-
sisted of information as to the formation and arming of
, I the clubs. Was present also at a meeting on the 14th of
yI J - -t -rton Bush. T.

dune a, Beving— _lie chairman was named
Parks, and the meeting was said to have been called to
form clubs. Hopper was present and asked the meeting
to visit his club in Birkenhead. They could defy the Go-
vernment. Ernest Jones was also present, and spoke in
favor of forming clubs. The witness also deposed to the

proceedings of a meeting in Circus-street, on the 22nd of
June, at which Hopper and others were present, when
violent insurrectionary speeches were delivered, and to
those of another meeting on the 7th July, in Great
Howard-street. This witness said that he followed
M'Manus to Ireland, and gave information at the Castle.
Cross-examined by Mr. PoLtocx as to his proficiency
in reporting, and how many speeches be reported in a
night. Witness stated that ;le was not examined on any
of the cases before the magistrates; was present on Cud-
dy's case: but was not examined_ Ilk dennsition. ciunpfl

by Mr. Rushton, was handed up to him ; when he ex-
plained that the depositions were drawn up in the clerk's
office, and sworn before Mr. Rushton, but that he was
never examined in the Court. A difference was noticed
by Mr. Roebuck between the evidence given by witness
as to the procedings on the 6th June and that stoed in
his depositions, which he accounted for by saying that he
tly I spoke then from memory, the magistrate's clerk having

Mathew Willock. policeman, gave evidence of the pro-
ceedings at the meeting in Circus street, which was very
similar to that of the preceding witness, and also deposed
to the proceedings at some other meetings.

Cross-examined by Mr. Pottocx, as to his pr.ctice and
mode of reporting. Witness explained that his depositions
were taken down in the magistrates' clerks'-room. _ _

His LORDSHIP interfered to prevent any inquiry which
might tend to throw blame on the mode of conducting the
mnisterial business in Liverpool.
Mr. PoLLoctc explained that his object was only to
show that the prisoners might be damaged by their not
having an opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses..
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed that some of the
witnesses had been cross-examined.

Henry Banner, (who was very ill,) knows Cuddy, and
met him on the 22nd July, in Church-street, who 'asked
him to c/rt a few pikes for him. He went with him to a

WICK yarn, ana neiu a sack, into wnica utmoy put Lwu

Mary Williams let the Baptist Chapel to Cuddy for
four nights, two in each w( ek ; and subsequently stopped
the meetings, because she saw pikes there. _ .

witnesses remaining to be examined for the Crown, ad-
journed the court until this morning.

As regards health, however, and to avert a
precocity of vegetation which is sure to be again checked
when a severe temperature sets in, we should prefer a slight
frost. Yesterday morning was so hazy, and dark, even
after sunrise, that many persons missed time, thinking it
was not daylight. The thermometer stood in the fore-
noon as high as 57, being only 3 degrees under a whole-
some heat in a sitting room, and in the afternoon it roie
still higher, and about five o'clock stood at 58.
