In souther letter from Mr. Dour, of the same date,

aiming several blows at his life with a bludgeon, when
he was •st custody and piaioned by the constable,"

remote of it yesterday before oar Paper went to press,
bet not having then sofficient authority for onnoencine
it, and not Wog willies to give an account of so por-
tentous a measure on alight or equivocal authority,
we forbore to mike it knorro. The PO4 of to-day
confirms our own account ; Mr. !lust is to be pat
on his trial for High Treason, and we may, without
exaggeration say, that the event of his case will de-
termine the actual value of all the free parts of oar
amestittition. If corruption gets a verdict then, we

It is said that Dr. WATtO/1, SS Chairman of the
late Meeting in Smithfield, has written to Ithlor
CARTWRIGHT concerning the opinion which the,
Major had prottoutrced on the irespediency of that
Meeting at present. As events have happened, no
doubt can be entsrtained that the Meeting has been
productive of benefitisl effects. It his eeeee d still

In one part of England the People assemble in the most
lawful and peaceable manner, cowling purposely to

former most hairs deplored. It is she part of a Oise
and prudent man not unnec ee 'ly to risk mischief.
The absence of Mr. IlusT, and his absence too from
such a close! altogether altered the general question
of the propriety of persisting in the Meeting after the
public isotice of it had been given ender circumstances
precisely the f those under which it was
held. We confess, therefore, that we are surprised,;
that Dr. should now attempt to Wimp!) WI,
the SCUM of his experiment, or presume to censure
so venerable and veteran a patiint, for the honest
pression of his opinion on a public question.
In consequence OM application from Mr. Manors
to loud Sinew:tit, his Lordship bas granted that
Gentleman two days further to determine whether he,
will give up the original address of Sir F. BURDETT
Ito the Doctor, of Westminster, in order to enable'
the Crown Lawyers to prosecute him. We take this
opportently of staling, the account which appeared
in another Evening Paper of yesterday, and w bkh
has been copied into I of the Morning Papers,
is quite incorrect in all its material (Weirs. The

wholly unsuitable with the etiquette observed on such
occsaions; neither did Mr. BROOKS make any of the

Reporter for the limes. The first Gentleman ac-
loony received a wound from a sable, as we are
credibly informed, six inches in length, from one of
the " undebauched" Yeomanry, and is aow suderiog
dreadfully from it.
We are glad to learn that Mr. Dinar, haying been
held to-bail for selling a publication 'effecting to she
Manchester Yeomanry, intends to conduct his own
defence. Its the course of it, he is determined to, gr.
into an examination of the question at issue between
the Government and the People ; the trial will, there-
fore, most probably, occepy the Court for a day or
two; for the sake of Ibe coautry and the Coustitation
we pray for his success.
