      Leedi- Police Office , Friday , Twelve o'Clock 1 'i 3 mornin ?; about a quarter past nine , my too . Friend , Mr . Hill , . was arrested in the strov : s of Leeds , by two officers from -Manchester , -, n the authority of a wan-ant issued by T * Ir . J . Y . FosT-ii , J . P . ' and baekedby a Leeds ilagistrax .. The charge is , as far as ' I can ascertain , one vf " sedition , " arising out of words spoken at >¦ : ne meeting or oth e £ " tending to exite a Brei _ h of the Peace . " He was , on his way to the < tar-oSrice , when he was pointed out to the Manchester police officers by one of the Leeds o £ - -rs , ( V 3 ; o ' . vas eccc-rupanying them on their search , ) and brought to this place without

      any of his friemis knowing of the arrest . "Whi ' e waiting for his presence at the Star-office , to j :.-pare the second edition -of the paper , it tve- 'uimated to n ; e by a friend that Mr . Hill liud een seen to enter the Police-office , accompaj . ii .-d by two srrangers ; and it was believed that he was in custody . I instantly repaired to the ;> laee , where I now write , to ascertain if such wa .- : he fact . After waiting some little time , I saw Mr . Read , the Chief Constable , and on mj put'injr the question to him , he at once informed ice rf . at the fact was so . 1 then applied to see Vir . Hill ; when Mr . Read informed me , that he was in the custody of the Manchester officer- ; who alone could grant my request ; and tha they were then somewhere in the town

      proe-iriuff refreshment . " I therefore determined to iLwait " their return , to make' the request to the : n to he permitted to see my friend , before he is removed from this p lace to Manchester , which I ex- ;> ect he will be in the course of the day . I have- now waited an houx-and-a-half ; but the ofik-rs have net made their appearance . I shall wan until they do , and communicate the result of my application as soon as I leam it . Jos .

      Star Office , Fifteen minutes past One . I ive just returned from the police office , having lear ^ -d what was the sort of " refre-hmein" the Manchester police officers had gone to procure . They ¦ were absent on another arresting expedition ; and haTe jnst returned wiih Mr . T . B . Smith in custody , he bt : ! iK apprehended oi ? a Fimilar charts , indeed included in the same warrant with Mr . HrLL . Mr . Smith wa 3 taken at his own home , and his house was searched by the officers , and all papers or ierters found there removed "ia custody "

      also . When Mr . Read had informed Inspector Tatloe , from Manchester , who I was , I made a formal application to be permitted to see Mr . Hill , before he was removed from Lesds ; and he immediately replied that my request should be gramed . I then asked " icfun J" and his reply was '' Sometime in ths course of the afternoon . " u Ccuid it be now' '! was my nest question ; ana the answer to it " no ,- not just now : we have some refreshment to get : bus yoc shall see him before we start . " " Will yon name-a time V " Sometime abou : three o ' clock . If you will be at the Star office , we will send on for you . "

      From this conversation , and especially from the fact of " refreshment" being still wanted by the Manchester men , I infer that they have more arrests to make in this town ; and that they were anxious to set them made , aud the prisoners all together , before they permit any of them to be sten by their friend- ; . ilr . Hill has been kept in the " Stone jug" since his lirrest . He is not , however , placed amongst the othf-r inmates of the wretched hole used as a prison ; tut ; s considerately plated in the women ' s ward , ( which happened to be empty , ) which he has , ( tiil just now that Mr . Smith has joined him , ) occupied to himself .

      He and Mr . Shith , with sny others that may be arrested , will be removed to Manchester this afternoon , I believe ; and be brought up for examination to-morrow , at the New Bailty Court . I shsli go np to Manchester with them , or after them , for the purpose of procuring bail , &e . I shall alro attend the examination to-morrow , and communicate the result in an edition of the Star , to be published iD I * ed = to-morrow evening . Josh . Hobsox .

      Northern Star Office , Friday , Quarter-past Tiro . I bare jast seen " Mr . Hill . He was brought to this Office by the Manchester officers , accompanied by a Leeds police sergeant . He had been taken to his own residence , I believe , and his house searched . When the party arrived here , Inspector Taylor addressing me , s ^ id , that " they had found on Mr . Hill a number of keys , which he informed thsm opened certain drawers and boxes at the Northern Star offi <; e . and that he wished to see what was contained in them . " I immediately answered the application by another question : " Have you any authority to come here to

      search ! Have you a search , warrant \ This place is m ne . Whatever is here "is in mt possession , and nnle-s yon have auihor ' v . y to come here and search , I most assuredly shali not permit such a search to be made . In this cm > e are a vastnnmbi . r o- papers and documents of all kinds : and I shall not consent to therr beiBg exposed to me gaze of stT&n ^ ers , unless there i 3 authority to compel me . If you have a warrant , show it , and 1 will not resist you : if you have not , no search snail be made here ' On this , the Inspector said that " the locked drawers and boxes here , of which Mr . Hill had the Keys , were his ; and it -were those he wished to see . " My answer

      was . "' whatever locked drawers or boxes sre in thi ? office , belong to the office ; and Mr . Hill has betn entrusted with the keys , because such drawers or boxes ars for the reception of those official documems , belonging the office , overwhich ha has charge * But jiich documents are no more his . than the books belonging the establishment are the property of the Clerk there , ( pointing to Mr . Ahdill , ) who has the cha ; ie of them . Whatever is in this i nice , or house , is 77 . ne . If you have any authority to senrchmy hou ~ ± , ihovr-it , and go to work . " If you have no authority , it canuot be done . " He then replied , 'I . iva no Wirr . ia : : and if you . objecs " , of course I must refrain . "

      I : hen asked if it was likely they would depart for Mp . " . iche > ter this day ;" r \ nd received for answer it wa .- possible they might aot , I then ask c a , if such was tne case , could bail be accepted for Mr . Hill '* appearance in the moruing ; for I should not , like thi-. he should have to be kept in the Leeds " Stone Jog" all night ; end the in ^ peetor paid that he could noi , accept bail , aadtho Magistrates wcuid be gone from the Court . He , however , would endeavour tc leave for Manchester ro-n : ght . After shaking hands with Mr .

      The letter also communicates the fact that Mr . Tros . Railtok , Mb . Christopher Dotle , and the K v Jamis Miollfield have also been arrested on the same charge . Northern Star Office , Friday , half-past Six . I have just learned that Mr . Hill and Mr . Shith are not to be removed to-night ; but that it is intended to keep them in the Leeds " Stone Jug " all night ; bail being refused . A bed of straw will be their portion ! . Never mind 2 ! The fact will ba treasured up . Arrests have been made before to-day ! and good meii have been incarcerated in gaol ! But all the arrests and all the imprisonments have not put a stop to the march of poverty through the land : nor will the present ones arrest the progress of national ruin ! They will cot add one hour to the numbered days of faction !

      The THING ia in throes ! It lays about itself most unmercifully before it is utterly prostrate ; but all isits ' . rngiiies an 3 stripes will not prevent or delay the approaching END ! Jos . Hobsoh .

      ARREST OF ME . O CONNOR

      AND OF MR . JOHN CAMPBELL . Leeds , Saturday morning , Eight o ' clock The Evening Star of yesterday , contains the following announcement : — '" Our readers , and the public generally will learn with surprise that Mr . O'Connor was arrested at hia residence early this morning-, on a warrant for sedition at Manchester . Mr . O'Ccnnor intended to go to Stafford to-morrow , although his medical advisers would by no means recommend it , for the purpose of defending the unhappy victims to classlegi ? isuon ; and this arrest has been made , doubtless , to deprive him of his liberty at , this important period , that his political enemies may sustain their character of cowardice . However , if Rij ; ht can prosper , Mr . CrConnor will not disappoint his friends—he will be upon the spot , prepared to give every service in his power to those who have been arrested .

      " We are unable to-day to acknowledge any receipts tV > r th- Defence Fund , fi * r while a friend of . Mr . O'Conr . or ' s was opsniug the . letters , eleven in number , at the station-house in Gardener's Lane , in which place Mr . O'Connor is at present confined , they were taken by the Inspector . The Posf-office orders were offered to the party hi question , but he refused to take one part without the other . "' No instructions have at present reached the Station at Gardener ' s Laiie as to the examination of Mr . O'Conaor ; but we shall report progress , step by step , on every occurrence .

      " We regret to state , also , that at present Mr . John Campbell , one of the Executive , is also confined upon a similar warrant to that against Mr . O'Connor , in the loathsome cell next to the latter . Both are in excellent spirits , though Mr . O'Connor ' s chest is in such a state of inflammation as to have induced his gaolers to call in medical advice , the result of which is , that a certificate has been given to the purport that his dungeon should be less circumscribed . "

      REMOVAL OF MR . HILL TO MANCHESTER . It is determined upon that the removal of Mr . HiLLand Mr . T . B . Smith to Manchester , shall take place to day . They are to depirt by the sixteen minutes past ten train . I cannot ascertain whether they will be placed before the Magistrates for examination this day or not ; but I beein to infer from the movements of the officers that such will not be the case ; and that they will not be produced in Court for examination before Monday . Of course bail will be refnsed !! The plea will be that "bail cannot be accepted till the nature of the charge is known ; and the nature of the charge cannot be known until the parties are examined , " &c . &o . It is easy to see through all this . To keep the parties in prison for four days , even should the charge against them be groundless , is a feat worth ? ome trouble to accomplish !

      The Mercury of this morning has the following announcement of these arrests : it i 3 well worthy of record in these pages , and of deep attention from the Chartist body : —

      SEVEN CHAR . TISTS ARRESTED . " Yesterday the following Chartists were arrested on a charge of being present and uttering Btditicus language at a meeting of Chartist delegates , held at Manchester , on the 16 th day of August last : —The Rev . Wm . Hill , T- B . Smith , G . J . Harney , C . D . Doyle , J . Leach , T . Railton , aud the Rev . J . Schclefield . Hill , who is the editor of the Northern Star , was apprehended in Briggate by two policemen , having warrants signed by the Manchester magistrates , and on being arrested , he was forthwith lodged in prison . In the coarse of the forenoon , the same policemen went- in search of T . B . Smith , a kind of Chanist local preacher , residing at the east end of the town , who wa 3 speedily secured and placed along with Hill in the Court-Bouse . G . J . Harney it will bo remembered , is a leading Chartist , who

      made a sort of sham-election oircuit for the suffrages or' the West Riding at the last election ; he was arrested at Sheffield , and his companion , ( J . Lea ^ h , ) who also figured before the electors of this Riding on the occasion just alluded to , was arrested at Manchester , along with the three remaining Chart-ft ieaders , Doyle , Railton , and Scholefield . It is probable that these arrests have taken place just now hi order that the parties may be brought to trial at the opening of the Special Commission at Liverpool , which will take place in a few days . We hear that a warrant has also been issued for the apprehension of Mr . FearguB O'Connor , who now resides in London for the purpose of editing his London eveniug publication—the Evening Star ; he having been present at the meeting of delegates at Manchester . "

      •* We believe that the meeting of Delegates on the 16 th of August was a private , not a public meeting ; and it is conjectured that the adoption by the meeting of an lDnamatoTy and seditious placard is one ground of charte against the Delegates who have been arrested . The friends of Mr . Hill allege that he opposed theadoption of the placard . It iscoDJeetured that there musthav ^ K een spies at the meeting , the proceedings of which were reported very briefly in the Northern Star . Passing over the bad taste evinced by the Editor of the Mercury , in exposing his petty personal spite and malignity , by omitting the nsnal courtesies of society in speaking of his brother Editor ; passing over the paitTy exhibiton of wouudtd faUe pride at such a time and tinder such circumstances :

      passing orer this , for the present , though not jorgetting it , one is struck with one or two things in this dfa } i- ( . ffic . al publication . At a late hour last night , the Mercury did not know what he has this morning published ; for hid Reporter was at our office door trying to beg a copy of the Northern Star then printed off , to enable him to state the racts connected with the arrest ; and he was reduced to the necessity of copying our Posticg Bill to get the names of those who had , up to tLat tiiae , been arrested . The particulars then , so minutely given , were supplied by some one after that time : aud those particulars let out the fact that the aliedgtd seditious words were

      uttered en the 16 th August last . Yet the Manchester authorities have delayed making the arrests till the 30 th of September , a few days before the sitting of the special commission by which they are to be tried !! No doubt this is done to give the accused plenty OF time to leam the Dature of the charge vamped up against them ; to well weigh the evidence by which that charge is attempted to be supporlea ; and to prepare their answer in defence J No doubt , the arrests being delayed till now , is for this object . —ar . d for this object alone . There are other things deserving of note in this curious 3 nnoDRpemest ; but I must for the present refrain . 1 am just off for Manchester . Jos . Hobson .

      ARREST OF MR . ARTHUR , Carlisle , Friday Evening , half-past four o ' clock . We have just received a letter from a correspondent , containing the following announcement : — " I have just time to inform you that Mr . James Aithur , bookseller , has this moment been arrested by an officer from Manchfster , who is , at this time , searching Mr . Arthur ' s house . The warrant charges him with exciting the people to riot , &e . "

      EXAMINATION OF THE CHAB . TIST PRISONERS AT MANCHESTER . Northern Star Office , Saturday Evening , Half-past Six . In successive Editions we have noticed the arrests which have been made from amongst the ranks of the people . We now proceed to lay before our readers every particular ve have been able to obtain . At the New Bailey , Manchester , on Friday , ( yesterday ) the Rev . James Scholefield and his eon

      William , James Leach , Bernard Macartney , John Massey , Robert Ramsden , Thomas Bailton , Christopher Doyle , John Ellison , John Norman , and John Barratt , were brought before Mr . D . Maude , Esq ., and David Prioe , Esq , for examination . The charge against them , as expressed in the warrants , was , tost they did wickedly conspire , combine , confederate , and agree together , to excite her majesty ' s liege subjects ie sedition and disaffection against the laws of this realm , and incited them to riots , tumults and illegal assemblies , and by force ,

      Untitled Article

      violence , and intimidation , prevented certain of Her Majesty ' s subjects from following their lawful occupation , aad to force ; them to depart therefrom , and to disturb the peace of oar sovereign lady the Queen and the Kingdom of England . " The following prisoners were then placed at the bar : — John Massey , Robert Ramsden , James Leach , Thomas Railton , Christopher Doyle , James Scholefield Wm . Scholefield , Bernard McCartney , John Ellison , and John Norman . Mr . Gregory , addressing the court , said , —The prisoners at the bar . Sir , stand charged with con-Bpiracy of a very serious character ; we are not prepared with the witnesses ; and , under these circumstances , appearing here on the part of the crown , I have to apply to the Court to remand the

      prisoners to Tuesday next . I understand , with respect to one gentleman , taken , and now here with his son , that it would be a matter of great personal inconvenience to him and to his son , if boih of them were to be absent from their peculiar employment a » the same time . They are moving in a more respectable station of life than the others ; and it would of course be the wish of the government , as far as is consistent with safety , to afford any indulgence that can be granted previous to trial . Under these circumstances , of course , I should wish a favourable reception to be given to the application that may be made on their behalf . Mr . R'chard Cobbett , attorney—I did not hear that you were speaking , Sir , before jou stated that under tho circumstances you wished the prisoners to be remanded . May I ask what the circumstances are ?

      Mr . Gregory—There are various other parties involved in the same charges , and against whom warrants are issned , and who , i suppose , will most probably be brought up by the time I mentioned ; and it is desirable and convenient for the purpose of public justice , that the charges should not be entered into till they are taken . Mr . Cobbett—To-day is Friday . Mr . Gregory—To-day is Friday , and I ask for a remand to Tuesday . Mr . Cobbett—to the Bench—But you see , Sir , it is rather a long time to ask for a remand , when no reason is stated , except that they intend , if they can , to take other parties . Now , under any possible circumstances , the case may be as easily proved against these men , without the presence of the other

      parties , as with thtm . An-, it' it even were not so , I would submit that at all events it is never usual to remand for so long , unless it is intented to take bail in the meantime ; because five days is something , not merely a joke , i say nothing as to Messrs . Scholefield , for whom I appear ; because what Mr . Gregory has already said upon that point , meets what we should wish exactly ; but with respect to Mr . Leach , for whom also I appear , I am bound to make a special application . He is already held to bail , and in very heavy bail , too , to appear at the Special Commission to take his trial . He was taken at . such

      a time that he could not traverse at the Special Commission to a future assizes ; he is now getting up his defence for the trial , which is to take place upon the former charge ; and his being taken here , and now kept in custody , may absolutely prevent the possibility of his defending himself as he might otherwise have dene , when the trial comes on . The same observations do not apply to the rest of the prisoners , because , if they please , they may traverse to the following assizes ; but be cannot ; and , therefore , it is a great hardship upon him not to let him be at large on bail ; and I think any reasonable man will say , that the bail he is already under , is quite sufficient to secure his appearance .

      Mr . Edward Bent , atturney , said , he appeared for Btruard M'drtney ; and the very reason which Mr . Gregory hsd urged on behalf of Mr . Scholefield and his son was applicable with doable force to his cli-nt . He wa 3 a bookseller in Liverpool ; and , in order to maintain himself , his wife , and children , it was requisite that he should be able personally to appear there . If there was a reason for granting the indulgence to Mr . Scholefield , he repeated , the same reason was doubly applicable to M'Cartney , who was the sole provider for his family . Mr . Maude asked the prisoners in turn , who did not appear by advocates , whether they had anything to say , why they should not be remanded , and they all answered in the negative . Mr . Gregory said he had very little to say in reply . With respect to the prisoners already under bail , they were under bail to answer a perfectly distinct charge , and one oeriainly , serious as it might be , of a less Eerious uatnre than the present .

      Mr . Cobbett . —Perhaps we might be indulged by Mr . Gregory stating what the present charge is ? Mr . Gregory—It is a charge of conspiracy . Mr . Cobbett—Then , you see , we are already held over in enormous bail to answer a similar chrrge . Mr . Maude—It is stated that is the more serions charge . Mr . Bent—Perhaps , Mr . Gregory , you will state what it is . Mr . Gregory—Certainly I shall not . I have already stated , that it is a charge of conspiracy . Mr . Bent—But is it of a more serious nature than that already heard against some of the prisoners ? Mr . Gregory—It is certainly a vtry serious charge . Vlr . Maude said there were two questions for the consideration of the court . The first was the request

      to have the prisoners remanded , which was a reasonable one ; and the second , whether the time asked for was a reasonable time . He thought it a reasonable request ; these prisoners had all been taken within a few hours ; and he could not say that it would be reasonable to require the witnesses to attend , and the evidence to be gone into , within a few hours after apprehension ot the prisoners . Then as to the four day ' s time ; it was clear tbat the parties must have some time to make the necessary inquiries , and to get the witnesses in readiness . All the prisoners had been taken up oa warrants ; and the court must assume , that the warrants were granted on sufficient information , for such information was stated on the warrants . He therefore felt that no reason had been 6 hown against remanding the prisoners to Tuesday .

      Mr . Bent—Allow me to remark that Mr . Gregory and the other gentlemen employed by government—Mr . Maude—I heard you before , Mr . Bent , and I thought you had done . Mr . Bent—But I had not done , Sir , and I wish to observe , that the gentlemen employed by Government are in the meantime preparing their briefs , their evidence , and every thing ; and theBe are kept wholly inthe dark , while the prisoners have no opportunity afforded them . We are kept wholly in the dark as to the charge against them , and we are now very cl sely upon the eve of the assizes . Mr . Maude ( to Mr . Gregory)—You are not ready with your witnesses , of course . Mr . Gregory—No , Sir . Mr . Maude—Then I think thers is no reason why the prisoners should not be remanded to Tuesday . "With respect to the Scholefields , Mr . Cobbet :, have you any application to make ?

      Mr . Cobbett—My application is , Sir , that they be let out . Mr . Gregory—The grounds upon which the application was made to me were those of private convenience ; and if the release of one of the prisoners would answer that purpose , I , on the part of the crown , have no objection that the should be held to bail . Mr . Scholefield—May I be allowed by Mr . Cobbett ' s indulgence to state a few facts . I have engaged Mr . Cobbett to conduct my case , and I am much obliged to him for his introducing it in the way he has done ; tut Mr . Maude— I will hear any thing you have to say . but I thiuk it will be well if yeu consider whether you had not better leave your case to the gentleman you have retained .

      Mr . Schoiefield—I am aware that I am in some measure in the hands of Mr . Cobbett ; but if I might be allowed to say any thing further in strengthening his suggestion , I was disposed to state two or three facts . Mr . Cobbett—I do not understand that there is objection to your application . Mr . Maud—No , 1 believe there is no objection ; it is on the ground that you have public duties to perform . Mr . Gregory—Of course I must call for security . ' Mr . Maude—Certainly ; there is a difference between him and other parties . ( To Mr . Cobbett ) You will be prepared with securities ! Mr . Scholefield—My son , though I am proud of him , cannot , I am sorry to say , discharge my duties . A part of those duties axe medical , and there are my duties on Sunday . ^ . ^ -Gregory— I understood that your son could iuinl the duties in vour absence .

      Mr . Scholefield—No , sir ; my duties are medical ; and there are my duties as a minister also . What do you charge my son with ? Mr . Cobbett ( to Mr . Gregory)—Tho same as the rest . You have lumped them all in one charge . Mr . Gregory—Pardon me ; there ia a separate charge against the son . Mr . Scholefield—As to my son , I should like him to be examined ; for he ie perfectly innocent . He has no more to do with that placard than Mr . Maude has Mr . Cobbeti ( to Mr . Gregory ) : You state thai there is & separate charge against him . Mr . Gregory—I state nothing but what appears on the face of the warrants . ir »~~

      Mr . Cobbett—Will you let us see the warrant i Mr . Gregory—The warrant , as Mr . Cobbett ought to know perfectly well , is not in my hands . Mr . C p bbett-Then I apply to see the warrant . Mr . Maude—Yon shall see it . I understand that the difference has been made in Mr . Scholefield's case , on account of some public duties he has to perform on the Sunday . Can your son perform the duties for yon ? Mr . Scholefield—No Sir ; I am sorry he cannot ; I wish he could . Mr . Cobbett—I understand he has some persons to bnry . Mr . Bant applied to Mr . Gregory for the warrant against M'Cartney .

      Untitled Article

      Mr . Gregory—Yon know as well as I do , that I am not the person to hold the warrant . Mr . Bent then applied to Mr . Beswick for the warrant ; and he said , that that prisoner had been apprehended in Liverpool , and he did not hold the warrant . Mr . Cobbett , having had the warrant against Mr . William Soholefiold handed to him , said , the son ' s warrant I see is for publishing that placard , and also for conspiracy . Mr . Scholefield—I beg to say a few words on the part of my son . This son of mine has no more to no with that placard than any man in that court . I was surprised , extremely so , when they took off , not my son only , but I may say the right hand of my family ; for I have no wife , and my house is now left in the care of a woman servant , witluny daughters . The public duties I have to perform , rtno so circumstanced , that he cannot perform for me ; but as to that placard , mv son knows nothing about it .

      Mr . Maude—It-stands consented to on the part of the crown , that the voung man shall be released till Tuesday , upon giving security for his re-appearance on Tuesday next . Mr . Cobbett—But you see , Sir , the application is on the part of the father . Mr . alaude—I am stating what the consent is . Mr . Cobbett—My application , which I understand was consented toon the part of Mr . Gregory , was for the father ; indeed it was for both , but the material party is the father . Mr . Gregory—Your application to me was made in such a shape , as conveyed to my mind the idea , that the release of the son would answer your purpose ; and it was upon those terms , and tho ^ e terms only , that I was understood to consent . I see no reason now to aiter my determination .

      Mr . Maude—So that if the son be released , probably , as the father says , he is his right hand , he will be his representative for most purposes until Tuesday . Mr . Cobbett—I beg to press the case of Mr . Leach , which I put before . Mr . Maude—1 cannot say , merely because a party is already bailed on a lighter charge , that I should make , on that account , a distinction between him and the other prisoners . I cannot think that that should make any difference . Mr . Cobbefrt—The effonce , bo far as I can judge of it , is precisely the same as the previous charge . He stands differently from the other prisoners , because tharest may traverse to a subsequent assizes , for the purpose of getting up their defences ; but you have already fixed him so , that he cannot do so . The representative of the crown comes here , takes him np for a similar offence , and by that means effectually prevents him preparing his defence to the former charge . If it is to be so , it is a complete defeating of justice .

      Mr . Maude—We should be very glad to take care that what you state should not necessarily happen . Mr . Cobbett—It makes all the difference to him . Mr . Gregory—It can make no difference . You know that he will have an opportunity of traversing , with respect to this second charge ; he ha 3 already had a full month and upwards , for the preparation of his defence to the first , with a full knowledge of what the charge was . Mr . Maude—They all stand remanded to Tuesday , wi th the exception of the younger Scholefield . What bail are you prepared with ? Mr . Cobbett—It is for me to ask what you demand , Sir . Mr . Maude—Our offer is not a mere nominal one . It would nut be reasonable to require bail to an amount that you know the prisoner cannot procure Can you find two sureties in £ 100 each 1 ¦ . Mr . Cobbett—I have no doubt we can , Sir . The principal trouble would be to get some one to examine the bail , and say that it is sufficient .

      Mr . Maude—Mr . Beswiok , I dare say , will give immediate attention to it ; and I shall be . very happy , if the sureties are ready while I am in town , to take the recognizances at once . Mr . Beswick—I think Mr . Cobbett has experienced no difficulty in this way before . Mr . Cebbett—lam no judge of the difficulty ; but parties have told me , that they have experienced very great difficulty . Mr . Btswick—I assure you , Sir , they have not indeed . Mr . Scholefield—I feel very sorry , but I would

      wish to appeal to the court , and say that I am ready to offer anything I can guarantee for my personal appearance , that , if allowed bail , I shall be forthcoming at any time . Between this a&d Tuesday , Sunday will be here ; and on that day duties will devolve upon me personally , and I have no substitute that can perform them . I am sure I will throw no obstacles in the way of the case . I will guarantee my life , if it is spared to me , to be with you again whenever you want me . Mr . Maude—I think I cannot say anything further at present : your application has been made and considered .

      Messrs . James Barrow , draper , of 94 , Great Ancoats-street , and David Hordern , draper , of 19 , Portland-street , then tendered themselves as sureties for Mr . William Scholefield . Mr . Beswick said , that they were both well known to him ; and he believed them both to be sufficient bail for the amount fixed . Mr . Maude—Very well ; then I will take the bail now . William Scholefield , teacher and schoolmaster , then entered into his own recognizance in £ 200 , and the two parties named into sureties in £ 100 each , for his appearance at half-past twelve o ' clock on Tuesday next , at the New Bailey Court . Mr . Maude , in answer to applications , said , he would give an order for the admittance of Mr . Cobbett and Mr . Bint , to see their clients inside the prison .

      The prisoners were then removed , about a quarter before two o ' clock . New Bailey , Manchester , Saturday , 1 o ' efeck . Mr . James Arthur , of Carlisle , Mr . George Julian Harney , of Sheffield , Mr . Richard Otley , of Sheffield , and Mr . John Campbell , of London , have just been brought up . The magistrates present were John F . Foster , Esq ., Daniel Maude , Esq ., and G . W . Wood , Esq . Mr . Gregory ( the Governmentsolicitor ) addressing the magistrates , said , that the four prisoners had been apprehended by warrants , and were charged with the same offence , and in the same manner , as those persons against whom he appeared yesterday He proposed to take the same step with them , and only applied that they might be remanded until Tuesday . Mr . Bent , solicitor , said he appeared for Mr . Arthur , who was anxious to know on what charge he had been apprehended .

      Mr . Gregory—He has heard the warrant read . Mr . Bent—He has had no opportunity of meeting the charge . Of course if you remand him , you will permit me to sea him in the gaol ? Mr . Foster—Certainly . The prisoners then , after being cautioned , were told that if they wished to make any statement they were at liberty to do so . Mr . Otley said he had no objection to make to the remand . All he knew of the matter was that he was innocent , and as he had always understood that in the eye of the law every man was considered innocent until he had been found guity by a jury , he thought he was entitled to ask to be allowed to give bail uutil Tuesday . Mr . Foster—That point is already decided . Mr . Harney said he should say nothing until he had heard fully the charge intended to be made against him .

      Mr . Campbell—I have nothing to say . I heard the warrant read over when I was arrested ; and I should not be surprised if , being a Chartist , the Government should hang me . I believe they would doit if they could . Mr . Harney then made application for the use of pen , ink , and paper , in order that he might communicate with his friends and prepare his defence . Mr . Foster—Yon will have them subject to the regulations of the gaol . We cannot interfere inthe gaoler ' s rules . Mr . Harney—They may read all I write ; I only want to communicate with my friends . Mr . Foster—Your application has been answered . It was then arranged that at ten o ' clock on Tuesday morning the charges woold be entered upon , and the prisoners were all remanded till that time .

      Shortly atter those four prisoners had left the dock , Mr . John Thornton , of Bolton , was brought up on the same charge . He made no remark , and was remanded until Tuesday . Quarter to Three o'Clock . This moment the Rev . William Hill , Mr . T . B Smith , Robert Brooks , of Todmordtn , and William

      Fletcher , of , were placed at the bar , before J . F . Foster , Esq ., D . Maude , Esq ., and G . W . Wood , Esq . The warrants on which they had been severally arrested were handed up to the Bench . Mr . Foster , addressing the prisoners , said , that they were not prepared to enter into the charge against them then , and that the other parties connected with the case were remanded until Tuesday next , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon ; they also would have to abide by that decision . Mr . Hill asked by what authority he had been confined in the " Stone Jug" at Leeds for twentyfour hours , and bad not been taken before a magistrate ! Mr . Foster—We hare nothing to do with what has been done at Leeds ; that will be a question for another place .

      Mr . Hill—Then as mine is a bailable case , I not being charged with felony , you are bound to accept bail until Tuesday . r Mr . Foster . —We can make no difference in your case ; you must remain in custody . Of course your solicitor or attorney will have every access to you in prison , in order to assist in your defence The prisoners were then removed from the bar , and sent to join their companions in solitude . As soon as Mr . Hill had been removed from the Bar , Mr . Hobson , who was in court , rose , and , ad-

      dressing Mr . Foster , said , Sir , I am a friend of one of the prisoners who has just left that bar . I am deeply interested in his welfare , and am bound in some measure to see after his defence . I mention this as a Bort of reason for my application to be permitted to communicate personally , and freely , with him while in prison . Mr . Foster—That cannot be allowed , at least at the present . His solicitor may see him . Mr . Hobson—I am departing again for Leeds this evening . The solicitor to the prisoner I apply for lives in Yorkshire ; and it is because I apprehend , that a message may be needed to that solicitor from his client that I make the application . Mr . Foster—Who do you apply to see ? Mr . Hobson—Mr . Hill . Mr . FoBter—We have no objection to send for him baok here again , and yon can speak to him here . Mr . Hobson—Please do so .

      Mr . Hill was accordingly recalled , and on his appearance was informed by Mr . Foster of Mr . Hobson ' s application and readiness to convey a message to his Solicitor , should he have one to entrust him with . Ab Mr . Hobson stood some yards distant from the place where Mr . Hill was , the latter evidently hesitated to speak , from a seemine conviction that every word he said would be overheard by all in court . The magistrates thereupon intimated that Mr . Hobson mi <; ht speak to him in close contact ; and he , acting upon the hint given , had pope three or four minutes conversation w ; th Mr . Hill in whispers , and received his instructions . At the close of this conversation , Mr . Hill again addressed the Bench , and said , that though they had determined to remand him till Tuesday , and not to admit of bail , he presumfd they would impose no other restraint upon him than what was necessary for safe custody . He expected to bo permitted to have books , and to write to his friends .

      Mr . Foster . —Of course , subject to the rules of the prison , affecting prisoners before trial . You will not bo permitted to write what you please ; and what you do write must be submitted to examination . But every facility , consistent with the situation you ocoupy will be afforded . Mr . Hill bowed and thanked the Bench . Mr . Hobson remarked that perhaps Mr . Hill ' s application arose from the fact that while in custody yesterday at Leeds , he had applied for pen , ink , and paper to write a letter to the members of the church over whom he has the pastoral care , to apprize them of hia situation , aud of his probable inability to bo present with them in their worship on Sunday ; and that he had been refused . Mr . Foster was sorry to hear that , but he could not help it . All he could do was to promise that whatever could now be granted or done , consistent with the general rules of the prison , to make Mr . Hill ' s situation as easy as possible , should be done . Mr . Hill again thanked the Bench , and

      Mr . Foster remarked that his friends might provide him with food if they thought proper . Mr . Hobson then shook hands with the prisoner as he Btood at the bar , and the Court broke up ; Mr . Hill returning to his new domicile , the New Bailfiy Cell ; the magistrates going home to dinner ; and Mr . Hobson departing back again for Leeds , after making arrangements to have Mr . Hill supplied with food from some friends in the town .

      APPREHENSION OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR ON A CHARGE OF SEDITION . From the London Times . 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 certain discoveries 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 the warrant was placed in the hands of an officer , who came to town for the purpose of effecting hiB capture , in which he succeeded this morning at an early hour . Mr . O'Connor was taken at his own residence , at Hammersmith , at nine o ' clock , and conveyed to the police station-house in Gardener ' s-lane , Westminster .

      Information of the fact of his apprehension having been given at the Home-office , a messenger was despatched to request the presence of the Solicitor-General , Sir Wm . Follctt , Mr . Hall , the chief magistrate of Bow-street police-court , attended by Mr . Burnaby , his clerk , a < rived at the Home-ofiice shortly afterwards , for the purpose of taking a private examination of the prisoner ; he was , however , removed to Bow-street , where , shortly after one o ' clock , he and John Campbell , who keeps a shop for the Bale of Chartist publications . No . 180 , High Holborn , were brought up in the custody of Inspector Hughes ,-A division , and M'Mullen , of the Manchester Police , for the purpose of entering into recognizances on a charge of sedition at Manchester m the month of August last . The case was disposed of in the magistrate ' s-private 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 , ' appeared on the part of Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Henry , the magistrate of Lambeth-street , and Mr .-Wray , the receiver-general of the police force , were also present . Mr . O'Connor being conducted into the room , ¦ Mr . Burnaby , the chief clerk , proceeded to read the . warrant of Mr . John Frederick Foster , a magistrate of Manchester , which charged Mr . O'Connor

      with "having on tho 17 th of August , with divers others persons , unlawfully and wickedly conspired , confederated , and agreed to exoite Her MajtBty's liege subjects to sedition and disaffection against the laws of this realm , and to cause insurrections , riots , tumultuous 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 committing outrages , aad he never considered he should be called upon to account for such conduct .. Mr . Hall said , that whatever confessions the defendant had to make , or whatever examinations he had to undergo , should be taken in the regular coarse 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 ho had no answer to make except that he was not guilty of the charge , but he wished the . * xamination of his physician to be taken as to the state of his health . He would in a short

      time be prepared with bail if require ! ; and , as to the charge , he had no more to say , except that in consequence of the active measures he had adopted to prevent serious outraged taking place upoiithc Corn Law question , he had been charged by the f ress with being in the pay of the Tory patty . Mr . Hall—Then I am to understand you mean to put in bail i The defendant replied in the affirmative . Mr . Waddington observed , that if bail was pvo cured in London , the defendant could not know the nature of the depositions ; but if that was not don . ; he should be forthwith conveyed to Manchester , where the case would be gone into .

      Thedef < . ndent said , he would prefer putting . in bail before Mr . HalJ ^ fro m 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 defendaut said he would before the rising of the Court . . Mr . Hall—Are you under other recognizances at present ? Dufeydent—Yes ; to keep the peace . Mr . Kail—Was that upon a Government prosecution ? Defendant—Yes ; I was obliged to find bail after I was dischai gets from York Castle .

      Mr . Waddington begged to observe that the Government did not wish to press for excessive : bail , although the chargs was of a very 6 erious nature . Mr . Hall said , the charge in the warrant was of a character very little short of treason , and the public wonld naturally expect that the amount of bail required 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 into would be , himself in the eum of £ 1 , 000 , and two sureties in £ 500 each , to answer to the charge at the next gaol delivery at Liverpool . 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 having been only a few hours in custody , he had had no time to communicate with his friends , who would procure the required securities . Mr . Waddington told him tho same time would be allowed him to find bail as if the offence was committed in London , whioh was until the rising of tno Conrt . - " * Mr Hall told the defendant he had time enough to Rend to his friends , and the amount of bail he hoSr ' qSre would ' be , himself in £ 800 , and two sursties in £ 400 . each , to answer the charge at the next gaol delivery at Manchester .

      — » " *^ i Defendant—Oh I that ' s impossible ; in fact , it ' s tantamount to saying I must be sent to prison , for I cannot procure such bail . Mr . Hall said , the only reason why he made any diffierencp in the amount of baii was , that he was in a more humble sphere of life than the other defendant , although tho nature of the charge in the warrant was the same . Mr . Waddington said , it oaly 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 , Flpet-street , and MrV Oldfield , of Bolt-court , Fleet-street , were accepted as sureties for Mr . O'Connor , and after a description was taken of the several letterB which were found upon him , he left the court accompanied by his friends .

      The Evening Star of Saturday contains the following acoount of Mr . O ' Connor ' s arrest and appearance at Bow-street . It also contains , as the reader will find , some important corrections of the ERRORsd ) in the Times ' s statement , given above : — Mr . O'Connor -was arrested at his boose , No . e Chapel-place , Hammersmith , at half-past eight o ' clock in the morniDg , by M'Mullen , one of the Manchester police , assisted by four of the Metropolitan establiah . tnent , and was conveyed to Gardener's-lane Stationboose , where , after surrendering his keys , and being asktd it he had any other property , he -was locked up in one of the c ? lls . The want of ventilation , and the circumstance of a flltby privy being in the cell made the atmosphere so offensive , that Mr . O'Connor was obliged to send for his physician , who had been in attendance on him for the last ten days . When the ph yaician arrived , he ordered Mr . O'Connor to be instantly remoy . ed from the cell , and gave a certificates to the following effect : —

      "I cerWy that I nave been m attendance on Mr . Feargus O Connor for the last ten days , that he is labouring under an affection of the heart , not organic bat functionary , and that his confinement in the cell where he now is , is calculated t" do him a serious injury ; and I further affirm , that although it is not in my district , the said cell is unfitted for the reception of any person . ' Notwithstanding this certificate , Mr . O'Connor waa still detained in the same cell for more than two hours . The proprietor of the Evening Star having received in . formation of Mr . O Connor ' s arrest , proceeded to tbe Stition-honse , taking with him some letters which were aririresed to Mr . O'Connor , as Treasurer to the Defence Fund , and which , by Mr . O'Connor ' s direction , he opened lu presecca of the Inspector ; wherenpoD

      M'Mullen instantly seized them , And these were the letters , not letter , as the Times erroneously states , found on Mr . O'Connor ' s person , which were read by the Solicitor for the Crown , and subsequently handed to -Mr . O'Connor , after the solicitor bad taken the names of tho writers . These letters contained post-cnice orders , all of which , save one for four pounds , were returned , and which four pounds is still missing , no doubt being kept by mistake by Mr . M'Mullen . When Mr . O'Connor appeared before the sitting magistrate at Bow-street , Mr . Hall , he was aated if he bad any examination to make , or any confession to reduce to writing ? Mr . O'Connor replied , " That ha had no one to examine ; and the only confession he had

      to make was . that it was a very inappropriate reward for the essential services which be had rendered to the state , by nsing his utmost exertion to preserve the peace of the country during the recent outbreaks , and that he was ready to give bail . " Mr . Hail stated , that he thought it would be better that Mr . O'Connor should go to Manchester , and there heir the charges againat him . To this Mr . O'Connor replied , " That in hiB present state of health , he was very much averse to trust himself to the tender mercies of a ' Liberal bench of Manchester magistrates ; ' tbat he could expect justice from Mr . Hall , but certainly not at the hnn . is of those who now charge him with all the evil consequences of their own conspiracy and sedition . "

      Mr . Hall did not say . oa reported in the Times , that the charge against Mr . O'Connor was of a character " very little short of treason . ' He never onc 9 mentioned the word , however the Times reporter may have used it to serve the base purposes of that paper . He simply said , " tbat he could n-1 be supposed to know more of the charge than was stated in the warrant , as he had not an opportunity of hearing the evidence ; " when Mr . Waddington observed , " that upon the part of the Crown he bad no desire to look for excessive bail , and further pressed upon Mr . O'Connor the advantage of hearing the case at Manchester . " Mr . O'Connor replied , "That it might be an advantage certainly ; but for the lust ten days he had been taking warm baths , and very active medicines , and did not wish

      to gain even that advantage , at the risk of his life , as his medical adviser had handed a certificate to Mr . Hall , and was then 5 n attendance , to be sworn , if necessary . " Mr . O'Connor also stated , "that forthe last ten days he was incapable of writing even his pri . vate letters , and was ordered not to stoop , therefore , he hoped the Magistrate weuld throw no obstacle in the way of bail . " Mr . Hall then said he would require bsil to thearaountof £ 2 009 . —Mr . O'Connor himstlf , in 41 . 000 ., and two sureties of £ 500 each , to appear at the next general gaol delivery , to be holden in the county of Lancaster . The bail was speedily procured , and Mr . O C nnor was set at liberty . We trust tbat the evidence of the medical gentleman , as to the unfitness of the cell in which Mr . O'Connor was confined , will have Us due effect in the proper quarter . It has already produced its effect upon Mr . O'Connor , who , no doubt in consequence of four

      hours' confinement the'e , bad been spitting blood , and otherwise suffering from the heat and stench of the place . We take this statement from Mr . O Connor's own lips ; and having seen him the day before yesterday , and not again till this morning , we do most solemnly declare , that we should have thought it impossible for so great a change to be wotked within that time , in the appearance of any individual . Poor Campbell , who was not in a situation to procure the heavy amount of bail required from him as a working man , was conveyed to Manchester by M'Mullen , to add one more to the victims of the Corn Law League . His « hop is 180 , High Holborn , and we trust that the appearance there of the minions of authority will -not scare the honest working classes , to whom he has been a true and faithful servant . Surely , these acts of oppression must cease ; and the sooner the better , ra there is a point beyond which human endurance will not and ought not to eo . —Evening Star . -

      The Observer of Sunday has the following notice of these arrests : — In another column of the Observer will be found an account of the arrest and examination of Mr . Feargus O'Connor on a charge of sedition . It will also be seen that thirteen other Ohartista—ten at Manchester , two at Leeds , and one at another place—have been apprehended . Wo have obtained some additional particulars respecting these arrests , the accuracy of which maybe relied on . The sedition with which the parties are charged , is not , as we understand it , written or spefeen sedition ; they have been apprehended on a charge of having , on the 17 th of August last , conspired together , at Manchester , for seditious purposes . The letters , eleven in number , which were found on Mr O'Connor's

      person when taken into custody , co not contain anything which could implicate him or any one else . Thry all relate to contributions being now got up throughout tho conntry in aid of a fund which is raising for the defence of the Chartists about to Ie tried ' before the Special Commission . Immediately oa Fcarj-us being committed to an unhealthy , badly ventilated cull in the station-bouse in Gardener's-lane , be wrote to his medical man at Humuiersmith , requesting him to come and examine the cell in which he ; waa confined , and to give a certificate of the state of his hualth . His medical adviser , on his arrival , gave the following certificRtw : — " I certify that I have been iu attendance on Mr . Feargus O'Connrr , for the last ten days , that lie is

      labouring under an affection of tho heart , not organic but functionary , and that hia conSiieiiient in the cell where he now is , is calculated to do him a serkus injury ; and I farther affirm tbat , although it is not in my dictrict , the said cAl is unfitted for the reception of any person . " Yesterday , all day , we learn from a private source , Feargus was in a state of extreme ill health , spitting such large quantities of blood as to cause much uneasiness to the friends thi'l were with him . Yet in this state of great physical debility be fHct&tfcd to another party the following adarwa for The Evening Star , lately established to advocate Chartist principles , and which has , within the Us ' few weeks , been avowedly under his editorial control : —

      TO THE PEOPLE . Beloved Friends , —I eannot write myself , but I can yet wag my lips ; and though I have but this moment recovered from a faintingfit , under the kind attcntions of the amiable and patriotic proprietor , and oi the talented sob-editor of the Evening Star , I cannot avoid saying a few words to you . In m - I ruptured two blood-vessels in my chest , while atlvcutir . g your cause against faction . In 1840 . 1 bail a severe illness , of which , no doubt , the rupture of those blood-vessel * was the primary cause ; since then I h . nve spent two summers , and one -winter , in a loathsome dungeon , always vowing that I would break oppression ' s head , or that oppression should break my heart My late sedentary avocation as Editor of the Evening Star newspaper has reminded me of the frequent blows that my cocstitutien has received .

      Nearly every soul calculated to render your cause a service , Is now cut off from yon ; and in the coming winter , faction means to fight its battle against misrule ; not for the accomplishment of a better order of things , but for the acquisition of power . The Editor of the Northern Star , that faithful pilot and true herald of opinion , is snatched from yon . Your Executive are banished or entombed . Will you not from these paadng events draw some conclusion ? This day all our letters were stopped ; not a lire of news , not a fraction for the defence of the victims .
