THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1848, PROTESTANT REPEALERS DROOUBDA.—A meeting of the protestant' of Drogheda was hell on Thursday last to consider whether or otherw ise a repeal of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland be conducive to the advancement of our trade, commerce, and agricultural prosperity, and to take such a course as as a protestant bod u y an may be deemed necessary. The meeting, it is said, w numerous and le spectable, and a former mayor o f Dro g heda presided, Mr. Thomas North. It was agreed that there should be notice! resolutions passed at the present meeting furtl.er than to call a general meeting of prutestents exclu sively to decide upon the main question.—Mr. Rae said he would, however, be glad to hear the question discussed, an he was not snare that repeal would benefit the country. — Mr. Rowland, a solicitor, stood forward to advocate repeal, and referred to the condition of Drogheda now and before the union, to the policy of bygone legislation, and the rio ranee of present legislation, as arguments for the repe alof the union. He considered it would be as much to the benefit of protestants as others to have repeal —Mr. Rae thought it might have been machinery which ruined the linen trade of Drogheda and !sot the union. He liked tenant-right, but an imperial parliament might enact that repeal would de stroy the church.— Several gentlemen controverted thisyiew, and contended that protestantism did not mean an " nta blisement." There w,s no necessary connexion be tween them. Leta John Russell would, they argued, as soon destroy the establishment an any catholic. Mr. Shaw said he had not been entirely non-observant of matters that were passing before them, but was of opinion that Ireland had derived advantages from the union. For instance, see the number of large steamers which were now keying their ports daily, none of which they had before. He th.iught the commerce of the country was benefited. Their fathers had, to be sure, armed in 'B2, but it was not to separate from England, but to protect England. Mr. Rowland had talked of all the cattle and corn that had been exported; but this he (Mr. S.) considered wu for our advantage. When these thi .6 were produced it was a great matter that they had ag. • . market for them. He considered, too, that for the protection of their trade they had the advantage of using the army and navy of Great Britain. He, nevertheless, ad ranted that there were some disadvantages. For instance, the cost of geeing good local bills passed. He considered there ought to be some public body of men in Ireland to manage local business; but, as a prote s t ant body, he was of opinion that they could not advocate an independent parlia ment with co-equal powers, for thin would lead to separation. Disputes would aria*, as they had arisen on the regency queetion—the bodies might be divided upon a question of war—for instance, a war with France. Al affairs affecting the empire he theught should be lett to the imperial parlia ment, and Irish local affairs with a parliament in Ireland. SCOTLAND. EDINBUROR, APRIL 8. We had something like a threatened elnieute here yesterday about mid-day. It had been arranged by the authorities that the rate of wages to the un employed should be 6d. a day for unmarried men, 9d. for married men with one child or none, and ls. when the family amounted to two and upwards. The unmarried, who appeared to entertain ultra ideas as to the rights of surplus labour, were quite in dignant at the allowance made to them, tore their tickets into pieces and tossed the fragments into the air with shouts of derision. They next proceeded to construct an effigy of an ex-magistrate, who had proposed a classification of the claims of the unem ployed, and after placing it on a pole, paraded the streets for • short time till stop pe d by the police, and by the sheriff, when t he y dispersed. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. THE GOVERNMENT HAVING TAKEN POSSESSION OP Tl3ll ELECTED: TELEGRAPHS iv yesterday, the newspapers, b o th of London and th e provinces, were depred of the or dinary communications by that medium. The Home-office, however, supplied us last night with copies of the followino telegraphic meesages received in llowning-street ; hut it will be perceived that our local correspondents had furnish , dus with full reports of the meetings mentioned in the brief an nouncements communicated to the government. The following telegraphic messages were received in Louden at 71 p.m , Monday, April 10: 4 FROM LIVERPOOL TO SIR GEORGE GREY —No truth in the statement about the rails having been interrupted or pulled up here.

ONEY.—The meeting at Nottingham has just broken up peaceably, and has adjourned until 2 o'clock on Wednesday nest." MEETING OP TILE SHOPKEEP EP a AND SPECIAL' CONSTABLES OF MANCHESTER FOR TDB PEOPLE'S CHAU.. I , TEM.—Yesterday, • densely crowded meeting was held at the Corn Exchange, Manchester, professing to be a meeting , of the middle clav, " to consider what their duty as special ' constables is towards their fellow-men, who are striving . to obtain the people's charter, and also to express their opinion on the critical state of the times." The promoters had pre- I tented a requisitiou to the mayor, signedby several hundred shopkeepers, to summon and preside over it; but his worship had declined, and they called it on their own I respensibility. Mr. Abel Heywood, bookseller and town councillor, presided • and in taking the chair, said, it might be conside;ed by some, that, in acting as chairman, he was overstepping the line of conduct which his position as councillor called for, but a deputation had waited upon him in the course of the forenoon, to ask him to preside, and, upon consideration, he acceded. He did so because he felt that he should be doing a set vice in quieting the alarms of those who thought we were upon the eve of a revolution. Ile had no fear of any outbreak on the part of the labouring classes; he had the greatest confidence in their propriety and peac eableness, and was persuaded that t he workin g classes would be the first to stop any attempts which might be made to enden.rer the lives ani property of the middle classes. The working classes had • great interest in the pre servation of property. In common with the shopkeepers, they bad their funds in their trade societies, benefit and sick societies, and they had reason to be al jealous for the pre servation of peace as any member of the community. He put it to the meeting whether peace was not preferable to tumult, and quietness to turbuknce—which d well us a sponded to by great applause.--Mr. Richarson, ' shopkeeper, moved the hisit resolution, denouncin on g . the course take n by the whig government the poor-law amendment bill, the constabulary act, and other measures, and dwelling at some length in con the de crmnation of the proposed measure for the " protection of own," and said they bad greater need for a bill for the " protection of the people"—the aristocracy and crown being too well able to protect themselves. He called upon the middle classes and special constables to &eternise with the people, and aid them in peaceably obtaining an amelioration of the condition of the working classes. His motion was: By the laws of every just social compact every man is bound to pee tea the lives and property of his lellow•citisensi whirl laws ea strictly in accordance with the principles of the Christian religion; and whilst we are bound to protect and Owen a there duties we believe also tt is our paramount duty to support the muse of justice, and thee endeavour to procure for our fellow-citirens a retirees of all thews wro ngs and grievances of whleli they justly, comp lain, and above sll to admit the Mowing clamed to a full share n the representation of the country. Mr. Watts, draper, seconded the motion, and argued at some length that the middle classes bad lormed an erroneous notion of the people's charter, which was simply a measure of justice to the working classes, from the passing of which there was no danger, but by the withholding of which there might be danger. He expressed his opinion that the anti. ld corn law agitation being rem oved, no power on cou stop the agitation of this measure, supersede it in the minds of the people, or prevent its success. The motion was carried I with great enthusiasm. The following resolutions were to be proposed for adoption when our express left. constables of 1 That it is the opinion of the sho p kee p ers and special I Manchester here ercembled, that the present excited state of the country, the alarming depreseion of trade, and the truly miserable an d impoverished condition of the working chum, are owing to the and that misrule and oppression of the present and peat governments, such depression, poverty, and misery are removable, and ought ter be and must be removed. that it II the opinion of this meeting that in order to any out the spirit an d meaning of the foregoing reheil u tione, nothing short of the People's Charter becoming the law of the land will restore society to a just and prosperous state. net a petition based on these reeolunceus be forwarded to Moors. John Bright and Thomas Milner Gibson for presentation to the House of Commons, with a request that they will support ite prayer. POPULAR POLITICAL MEETINOS.—A, number of public meetings of chartists were held in various parts of Lancashire, on Sunday, the two principal I ones being one in Smithfield Market, Manthester,l and the other at Houghton-green. The meeting at' Marichester was attended by no fewer than 25,000 persons. ' and the promediugs, which were short, were conducted in an orderly manner. A resolution was put to the meeting, pledging it to support the chartist convention, and was car ried by show of hands. In consequence ot the largeness of the meeting a sec ond platform was erecled, and ho speakers passed from one to the other. At half-past three the pro ceedings, which commenced at two o'clock, were over, and the people quietly dispersed. CONSTABULARY PREPARATIONS IN MANCHESTER. —The number of burgesses summoned for special constables is 10,984, of whom about 6,000 bad been sworn in up to yesterday, and meet daily under their captains for drill ; andl there are, independent of these, a treat number of eitizensl who do not come under the designation of " burgess," but who are warehousemen and shepmen, and are sworn in to act merely in defence of private property. With these it I is thought there cannot be less than 10,000 persons orga-i nixed altogether, independent of the regular civil force. A brigade of mounted specials is elm formed. VoftgettlitE. THE CHARTISTS AT LEEDS, as at other places, con voted a meeting to be hell yesterday noon, at their usual ' place of miserably, the large room of the Buser, in Briggate, "to take into consideration the serious state of atfairs, and, if deemed necessary, to petition parliament for a full measure of justice for all." The placard exhorted " the men of Leeds" to " attend in large numbers ," to " be firm;" and to . be peaceable and order -1 ly." It concluded—" Put your opponents in thed time wrong there and success is within your reach." A t the appointe was a large assemblage, more than the room could hold, and an adjournment to the Vicarage market took place, where probably front three to four tbourand assembled, and were addressed, under the presidency of Mr. J. Harris, a collector of highway rates, by several speaker', and the petition was adopted. At the time when our despatch was sent off all remained quiet, though t ee magistrates had made prepara tions for the worst, a larg umber of special constables hay. Mg been sworn in, and th e militar y and yeomanry, with the veteran battalii.n, beiag warned for orders at a moment's notice. The day was very fine, but cold. WARWICKSHIRE. • • MEETING OP THE BIRMINGHAM CHARTISTS.- Yesterday' a very numerous meeting of the chartists was held in the People's Hall at Birmingham, Mr. Councillor Baldwin in the a tir. A great number of the middle claws attended, who spArently sympathised with the objects of the people :indeed (says our earrespodent), such is the state ' of trade, that many who have hitherto regarded the chartist movement with a pprehension, seem now to think that an extension of rights to the working classes has becom a mat ter of neceasity. The principal speakers at this meeting were Messrs. Mason, Hill, Mantle, Mills, Goodwin, and others—these being for the " most , most part operatives. Mr. Mason addressed the meeting at great length, deprecating the eonduct of the government in the means they had adopted to prevent the people mumbling and march ing in procession. He argued that every employer and tradesman had as great an interest in se. curing for the wor king men their due share of rights as they (the workmen) had them s elves. The government (said the speaker) are utterly ignorant of the principles upon w hich the permanent property of England can be estab lished ; no country had greater capabilities or an equal amount of available capitally than Great Britain, yet both ----------------- labour and capital was without profitable employment. The dietribution of wealth was a branch of politiml economy which could not be solved until esperienced merchants, manufacturen, and workmen, were tent into the House of Commons ; men whose prectical business habits and corn mercial experience would be a guarantee for just and en lightened legislation on this great question. He hoped that the memorial to the Queen would be signed by three mil lions of her Majesty's subjects, and that every male eiti hteen,zen in England a nd Scotland, above the age of eig would register his name upon it, also stating whether elector or anti-elector ; and that within one month from this time, the same would be prevented to her Majesty. Regolutions were pass ed to the effect that the meeting solemnly justified the convention in the course they i had adopted ; and that in the event of the government vie- I latiug the law by committing any outrage on the personal liberty of the " faithful delegates" of the people, the meet ing pledged itself to elect other delegates to aid in carrying out such measures as the exigencies of the country required people against the tyranny of the ,I for the government.—That ththeeconduct of ministe was oppressive an attempting to carry through parliament a coercive mea- i sure to put down the meetings and processions of the people, and that the a ttempt to revive an obsolete law was a viola tion of the spirit of the constitutio at 4 o'clock. Thg, n —The meetinich waa peaceably conducted, broke upe autho rities of the borough swore in 400 additiona led, the town l special con stables ; but at the time our report was despat was em quiet as usual. DERBYSHIRE. DERBY ELECTION.--The candidates of both parties have completed their canvass, and, judging from their ad dresses, they are both " certain of success." A eorrespon. dent states, that the canvass of Messrs. He worth and Bass has been most enthusiutic, and that there is little doubt of .saiviaNilistThzeasnaelAvTes of p E th ß e inr cha h r a ti v st e movement, and alarm moderate men, and prevail upon them to vote for Base and Freshfield. They will not succeed. Mr. Hayworth is pose s of a large fortune, is a landed proprietor, and a holder of railway stock ; all these are satisfactory reasons why he would be a safe candidate in theeseikr'lsel times. l)lSS T E h N e T tc lali e' sent a memorial to Lord John Russell, in which they say : We nerd hardly ensure you that `ems the unflinchin the g adv will o athlete mister, Jesus Cheat.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. GREAT CHARTIST MEETlNG.—Yeatertlay a meet ing was held in the market place of Nottingham, at which it was estimated that there were from ten to twelve thousand people. Every precaution had beim taken by the authori ties in case • breach of the peace should be attempted, and numerous companies of special constables, sworn in during the put week, were stationed in various parts of the town. At one o'clock Mr. J. Sweet was called upon to preside. — Mr. P. Edwards strongly urged the necessity of maintaining peace, law, and order, and in the course ef his speech he remarked that he believed three out of every four of the people of England were in favour of moral force—a senti ment which was received with loud cries of " No, no !" and other marks of disapprobation. He concluded by moving the following resolution: That this meeting again renews its 'solemn vow, recorded in the musket gams on the 2nd of April, never to cease agitating for the neigisaa ellerter until it become` the law of the taut ; and whilst ese j ... is gest ,. .se pledge air tees to raped the rights of others, whilst our ORD. 7.ar;r4 by acclamation. —Dr. M`Douall called for " three cheers for their brethren in London," which were given accordingly. He then addressed the meeting in a much milder tone than on former occasions; towards the close of his speech, however, he called upon the meeting to exercise their rights as Englishmen and procure arms, that they might be prepared for any extremity.—Mr. Roberts moved the subjoined resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Rogers, sad carried amid applause: That we kince witnessed with the moat lively natinfaction tbe arnal simmaton and fraternisation of the English working dame. with their Irish brethren, and hold it as • most happy omen. indi =Ve speedy triumph of their cause over the oppremorn of both countries. This meeting, therefore, bolds out the eight handthem of fel lowship to their Irish brethren, and pledges itself to to obtain what we claim for ourselves—the right of self-governmeat. Dr. M`Douall was appointed delegate from Nottingham to the convention, in case Mr. Harney should be thrown into prison ; and, after three cheers for the brave republicans of America, the meeting was adjourned until Wednesday. NORFOLK. Tan CHARTISTS held their meeting on Sunday, on Mouseholdbeath, and everything putted off very quietly—a more peaceable meeting never took place in Norwich, They occupied the valley that the primitive methodists generally hold their camp meetings in, and it is calculated that there were from 3,000 to 4,000 persons present. The morning was very wet, but it cleared in the afternoon, and became fine at about three o'clock, the time proceedings began. There was not a policeman nor 7et a soldier to be seen. Mr. Laws, a weaver, was called upon to pre, de, and the following reso lutions were passed unanimously t I. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present poverty and dolt , as aria Mon clam lesMation, and we I, ruby pledge our selves not to cease agitation till the principk-4 contained in the docu ment called "The People's Charter " become the law of the land. 2. That this meeting resolves to support the convention now assem bled in London, by endeavouring to carry the foregoing resolution into effect, vie., the enfranchisement of the indiudrious millions. 3. That this meeting views with extreme regret the present rash amt precipi tate conduct of the government in raking up old and obsolete lawn, and enacting new ones in order to meet what they oonaider their pre sent emergencies, thereby endeavouring to ensnare the innocent. —A delegate sent by the Yarmouth chartists was in attend ance, but the one expected from Lynn dud not attend. The rest of the speakers were all working men—indeed there was no other class present. The E. meetiug separated quietly. RNT. SHAMEFUL EXPOSURE. —An inquest vies held last week on board the Elizabeth hey, Sheernesa, touching the death of a seaman who was accidentally drowned some weeks since, while lowering a boat to come ashore from the Benbow. It appears that when a body is found in the river Medway it is within the jurisdiction of the coroner for Rochester, but if brought on shore it is within the district of the hundred of Milton, and it has frequently happened that, in order to keep bodies sled, they have been brought alongside and made fast to a buoy in the vicinity of the pier, and there exp. std for a number of hours, if not for days, to the gaze of the passes-by. In the present instance ' the body was found early on Monday morn in g , and was about to be brought on shore, when some persons, said to be inter ested for the Rochester parse, interfered, and it was then tit d by the leg to a buoy near the pier, exhibiting, during the whole of Monday, a sickening and melancholy spectacle. Numbers of persons, in the course of the day, west down to see it, and gave vent to exclamations of horror and indigestion at such a barbarous and uncivilised proceeding. On Tuesday morning the body was put into a shell and kept in an open boat until the inquest had been held. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL, PREFIRMENTS.—Itev. F. Raikes, to Crownthorpo R., N e epa. dio.

Hancock, a publisher, of Summer. street, Hatton .garden, w Cl as inenwedicted for a libel on the guar dians of the parish of erkll. guardians r isoner bad th pshcd a pamphlet, in w the of Clienwuhlire e ll we charged with having had a guilty connivance in the death of a boy named George Erry, on the Ilth 01 July last. The deceased was an orphan, and was Rent by the parish of Clerkenwell to Mr. Aubin's esta blishment, at NHTWOOd, and while there he fell into a copper of hot water, which caused his death. Some time after the defendant published apamphlet, in which he alleged that the facts had been purposely concealed from the public by the guardians. The defendant made an inordinately long defence, during which be produced documents containing the facts upon wh ich he (defendant) had founded the pamphlet. The defendant had got through about a quarter of his defence, when the CommonSerjeant Paid that he could not deny the publication, and was wasting his time in talk ing of irrelevant matters. At length the prosecutors offered that if the defendan t would g ive up the documents, and fur nish evidence on which they could proceed against their author, he should not, it the jury convicted, be brought up fur the judgment of the court.—The prisoner agreed to this, and gave up the papers as squired.—Tbe jury found that the placard was a libel, and that the defendant published it. Eventually it was arranged that the prisoner should be bound over to appear at the next session to receive tke judg. trent of the cout. The prisoner entered into his own recog . nisances in 1001 r., and was discharged. aese------ ------------- arrests wermad and the mob, which nclined for a m i n ute to e mak e , a stand, were u niformly teeme repulsed by the horse patrol, the sight of whose drawn sabres wielded over the heads of the mob soon put the more noisy and impudeat to flight. Both on this and the other side of the bridge we saw numbers of men with their heads bleeding, and being led away , by their friends. The arrests number, we were informed, above 30. Waterloo -bridge—thanks to its toll—would, but for the police, have presented the same peaceful appearance as on other days. We passed over it at about one o'clock, during the hei,ht of the demonstration on the " common." The toll bars were guarded by osmpanies of the force, while the seats over the piers were occupied by those of their com rades, either lounging, or sleeping, or eating , or enjoyinp the pleasures of a pipe. Could they have been seen by then busy brethren on the neat bridge they would have been much envied. The toll of the Charing-crow bridge seemed also to have a protective influence over it. It was as quiet as ever we saw, to spite of the police. Westminster -bridge being that over which the gigantic petition was threatened to be drawn in procession, was, how ever, tilled with bustle and mounted and foot police. At an early hour in the day crowds of persons lied assem bled in its neighbourhood, and in that of the House lei Commons, to await the arrival of the proc -mien, which was ex pected to cross the bri d g e from Kennington-common. Up to twelve or one o' clock ver y little preparati ton ap pea red to h a ve been made for th eir reception ; eee b u t few policemen about, although we understood that there was a large number quartered in the vicinity—in the committee rooms and other portions of the houses of parliament, and elsewhere. But as the day wore on, and the crowd be. came more dense , the police might be °buried walking about in large bodies, and compelling the people to " move on "—a command which was obeyed sometimes with an ill grace, but in no case that we observed with any manifesta tions calculated to lead to, or which resulted re in a breach of he peue. Weatminster-bridge was the g at pidnt of attractio t n, as it was apprehended that it would be the scene of any collision which might take place. The report which had been set afloat respecting artillery, &c., appeared to he totally unfounded: we saw no signs of anything of the kind. Bills were posted on the bridge warnieg the public not to assemble there lit large numbers, as it was apprehended that the wooden hoarding which supplies the place of the former stone balustrade w0..1d give way on a pressure of a mature by no means inconsiderable. The public, however, which always considers itself the best judge of matters connected with its own safety, treated thew arning with a degree f contempt, which was manifested by the increased density of t crowd un the roibited spot. Shortly before two o' lock , howe ve r , the pol h ice began t o emerge from their hitherto inglorious state of inactivity. A troop of the hone patrol proceeded on to the bridge, and set about the some what arduous task of clearing it. Stationing themselves at the foot of the bridge, on the Surrey side, they succeeded in driving the British public somewhat ignominiously, inch by inch, and step by step, comeletely to the other end. At the corner of Bridge-street there were sev.ral a trine' helies of the force to receive them, so that the majority had no resource but to escape up parliament street, the road to the house being efficiently guarded. A consul table number, however, still continued to occupy Bridge-street. They consisted principally of idlers and bad characters, having no political object in view, and being employed fur the most part in the indulgence of various little Repulse pleasantries at the expense of the police and the special einstables, the latter bein g away, g especiuntially l thevictimised in this manner. Th us the time pa PRECENTATION OF THE PETITION, which took place shortly before three o'clock. The demon stration was not very strong or alarming in its appearance. It censisted simply of two hackney cabs containing three members of the deputation, and the petition itself. The paper, WWlic conveyed ste by instalments e iut y p o the house, and de livered over to the proper authorities. The deputation re turned immediately on foot, and was loudly cheered on its 'lit he great event being brought to a close the crowd began gradually to disperse, and in a comparatively short space ot time the thoroughfares were clear. Apo rtion of the police, however, remained for some hours en the spot and in the immediate neighbourhood. Except what is recorded above, and in our police reports, we have heard of no casualty, either arising from accident or unpleasant feeling between the executive and the public. We have indeed received one or two letters from parties complaining of isolated cases of harshness or of misconduet by the police; but these were perhaps written in the heat 01 the moment and while the parties wer thi s a under injuries they have forgotten perhaps by time. Upon the wh&e therefore the conduct of all parties—of the regular as well as of the special police on the one hand, an.l of the people eat the niter the to have been exemplary. It is also due to the htlter authorities to point out that their arrangements—with the single exieption of keepin.: the bridges closed tome hou longer than neeessary--appear to have been most efficiently rs planned. Happily, however, these formidable and skilfully con trived precautions proved—as we predicted they would prove —rutly disproportioned to the occasion *hick called them into existence. IRELAND. Dratts, Aram 9. The outline of the new bill is the general topic of club conversation ; and, so far as I have been able to collect, the measure is popular with that class. But of its unpopularity with the masses there can be as little doubt. I understand the confederate leaders are resolved to abate nothing of their high tone, or m itigate the fervour of their language, whatever be the penalties. The new measure will place them in a very awkward position. If they abate their preten sions, they grow unpopular; if they stand by them, they are overtaken by the severity of the law. A novel and very efficacious mode of subduing the confederate spirit was tried at a late meeting in Bel fast. While Mr. Rea, the gentleman in green, who some weeks ago upset the tenant-right meeting, was provoking his lungs to the full patriotic breadth, he was suddenly deluged with a torrent of water dis charged from the well-directed hose of a fire-engine !; The hydropathic treatment completely subdued the feverish symptoms, and the confederates dispersed, I like Cowper's rose "all washed in a shower." The evictions in Limerick and Kerry have attracted she attention of the government. On Friday last the police went around and took a return of the houses levelled on the estates of the Marquis of Conyngham and Mr. Westley, together with the number of fami lies ejected and the deaths the ensue.l. The Limerick people's club have been assiduously at practice during the week. The shooting, we are informed, has been generally fair, and some of the riflemen have proved themselves close hitters. ..-------•--------------___ EDINBURGH, Aram 10. A Chartist meeting is to be held here this evening, on the Caltonill. The special constabulary are in readiness to prevent any outbreak. A Chartist meet ing was held in Paisley on Friday, when, amongst other resolutions, it was carried : by • That the righ., of Ireland to be governed distinct and i n dependent legislatur e is unden ia bl e , and what every country should enjoy, and that t he act of 1800, called the Act of Union, has become a signal failure, and a source of misery to both coun tries—apartner shi p unfortu t h ou sand.fold n ate—having i screa sed England's taxes, and multiplied a Ireland's poverty. The speaker compared the Union to t he assumption by the Glasgow town council of the business of the Paisley council. The seconder (an Irishman) shook hands with the proposer, and, amidst muct. applause, declared the marriage between Chartism and Repeal now accomplished, after which edifying ceremonial the chairman announced that the collection amounted ' to 31. 3s. 2d., which, with laudible celerity in mental arithmetic, he stated would at one halfpenny each give a gross attendance of 1,500—a fact which he hoped the reporters would duly notice. THE BISHOP or RIETER.—Some party in Dundee having written to the Bishop of Exeter, requestin of g an Rev. ex planation of hie lordshi p 's alleged persecution the James Shore, as detailed by the reverend gentleman at pub lic meetings in Dundee and other towns a Scotland, Dr. Phillpotts has written in reply that Mr. Shore'stat ements are for the most part calumnious t that • licence not by the bishops caprice, but by the refusal of the incum bent of the parish to not&nate Mr. Shore to the curacy ; and that, so for from the orders of the latter being indelible, the bishop offers to depose him gratuitously within smooth if he will offer no resistance. RETURN Or FOOD RIOTERS. —Cm Wednesday hat, the young men who were under sentence of tnuispoat Hrtatioopa for r i o ting at Burghead last year, were landed eman arbORT from the Duke of Richmond steamer, and received Harbour from the l)ukr of Richmcnd steamer, and received (nays the Elgin Courier) with acclamations of joy and tears mingled. -----------. ----"•••""'"--- .„._._ the retained and stated wickw. lanes had no knowledge of the defendant. —Mr. Bard considered the explanation of the defendant so unsatisfsetory that he ordered him t o be remanded until Thursday next. SOUTHWAR K . —Tan CHMITIST DEMONSTRATION Two young men named Stephen Uridge and Charloe Cations were charged with having assaulted the police in the execution of their duty.—A policeman stated that while on duty in Blackfriare-road, at half-put 1 o'clock, on the return of the crowd from Kennington-common, a large number of persona, amongst whom were the defend ants, halted is the road, and prevented others from passing along. Be (the policeman) went up and desired them to move on, but had scarcely spoken when he was tripped and fell on the ground, and while W h en there I.:ridge came up and kickeu him on the side. he recovered himself he laid hold of his narailant for the purpose of taking him into custody, but bad no sooner cl-ne so than the other defendant interfer and attemted to rescue his com- panion, and would have succeeded had not other police men come up at the time ; and, although there was much hissing and groaning amongst the mob on seeing the defend ants in the hands of the police, still the latter conveyed them to the station-house. —Four other policemen congealed the above statement. —Mr. Cottingham inflicted a fine of 20s. on Cadge, and 10s. on his companion.—John Edward Cart wright, coffee-shop keeper, of Itederou-street, Cripplegate, was nea t charged with aesaulting Sergeant K elly —The ser to geant stated that he and a perty of the polie belonging the 24 division were stationed on the south side of Black friars -bridge that their orders were not to permit persons whiles over the briOge from the Surrey side ; that in the performance of that duty, at about half-past three o'clock, the defendant, with a long pole in his bands, came along, and was approaching the bridge, when he went up , and civilly told him the orders he had received. and at the same time informed him that he could pass over the Southwark or London bridges without molestation. The defendant, how ever, announced himself a chartist, said that he had carried a Bag to the meeti, g on Kennington-common, and that he I was determined on crossing over the bridge. lie then pushed I forward, evincing a determination not to be prevented, and, w hen the sergeant inter fered, the defendant lifted up the I pole and aimed a blow at his head, which, however, he par- ried off by holding up his arm. The sergeant then seised his 1 assailant by the collar, and closed in upon hint, when the latter gave him a violent kick on the leg, but he was ulti- mately secured and conveyed to the station-house.—Thef+ Magistrate, after some remarks, inflicted a fine of forty shibl-e r (11 . lings on the defendant , or in default of payment to i mpr isoned for one mowh. g 1 LANIBETH.—A SPUCIAL CONSTABLE. —E. Palmer, a a special constable for the parish of St. Martin's-in-the -fields, I was charged with throwing a knife at a in police cons ezecution istable, i with the intention of injuring him, while that that afternoon !! of his duty.—C ons t a ble Legg. tt deposed he was on horseback near the Westminster -bridge. lie saw 1 the prisoner draw a knife from undernewh his dress, and g ling it at him. The weapon missed him (witness), and I glanced along the shoulder of the horse on which he was I mounted ; but it did not inflict any injury on the animal. s Two or three of the police corroborated the evidence of the 1 last witness, and Mr. a Taylor said that, seeing the prisoner a good deal excited, he recommended him to be quiet and go I home, and he subsequently saw him throw the knife at the I patrol. The i risoner, who gave no satisfactory account for • having the knife in his possession, was remanded to a future day.------------------ S !13 . T did. d Td.

S tore y , a general dealer, in place, Hackney-road, was charged with having used seditious and inflammatory language, which was calculated seriously to disturb the public neace.—Mr. H. Holies, a schoolmaster and secretary to a reading society in Spitalfields, stated, that while in attendance on the preceding evening at a meeting of the members in the club-room, he was informed that there was a man waiting outside who had something of a private and important nature to communicate to him. On pro ceeding-below he was introduced to the prisoner, who inti• mated that he had been in the habit of hearing him speak in public, and presuming him to be a chartist leader he felt it his.duty to apprise him that a large quantity of arms and ammunition had been conveyed in fifteen waggons from the canal basin, in the City-road, and, as they had been de posited is certain vaults in the neighbourhood of Whitehall, where they remained without efficient protection, he con idered that if a bold an d sudden dash were made upon the place by a few resolute men they might be easily captured, and employed in the service of the people. The prisoner added that he would leave it to the superior judgment of the witness whether such a I course should he adapted, bV.. a it h. was obvious to th b a: . no timmeitawtZtosuhtLlTtedanto tL w oo ls conside ration of chartist leaders. After some further observations of the same ten dency witness declined holding any further conversation with him, and returned into the room, but was followed by the prisoner, who eat down a t one of the tables, and, having reduced to writing the particulars of his previous communi cation, to which he appended the words "To be kept strictly secret," he handed it to witness, and again invited his prompt attention to the subject. Without returning any direct answer to the proposition witness quietly left the room and called a policeman, who accompanied him back, and he gave the prisoner into custody.--Charles Schultz, a member of the same institution, fully confirmed the evidence of the last witness as to what had occurred in the reading room, and added, that while on the road to the station house the prisoner threw his arm round Mr. liolles's neck, and implored him not to press the charge and to promise to " speak a good word in his favour."—Police th on e r constable Maghans, 79 H, stated that , up on being called into oom, he bound between 60 and 70 working-men assembled there, and that, so strong was their feeling of resentment against the prisoner's proposition, that they unanimously de it ng ed he might be taken into custody. As they were proceedi to the station the prisoner made several appeals to induce the first witness to forego the charge, and said that he had received his informationrespecting the arms in question from a person whose name he did not wish to di-close, AS it would inevitably lead to the loss of his situation. When tilled pon for his defence the prisoner said that a person i n ;tears. Pickford's service bad called upon him the pre ceding evening, and, while in conversation upon the con templated disturbances, apprised him that every preparation had been made against the ehartist movement, and that he had himself conveyed no less than 15 waggon-loads of arms and ammunition during the night to some vaults in the in ighbourhood of Whitehall, for the use of the troop.. He declared that his sole object in communicating the carcum stance to the prosecutor was, that the chartists might be made acquainted with the danger they would incur by a re sort to violence. and that they might be thereby induced to forego their lawless intentions.—Mr. Hammitt ordered the prisoner to put in substantial bail for his re-ezaznination neat week, and in the meantime directed the officers to make the necessary inquiries respecting his companions and pre vious character.—The prisoner was unable to procure the amnunt of bail required, and was, therefore, conveyed to the 1 House of Detention. MARLBOROC OH-STREET.—A TIGER KILLE R.—A stou t moustachioed Irishman, who called himself Major Smyth, of the East India Company's service, was charged with having been drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, and also with having refused to pay his cab fare. When at the station-house the major talked loudly of his friend Bishop, the gunmaker, of Bond-street, and informa tion of this circumstance having come to Mr. Bishop': k now ledge he was present at the esataination, to state what he knew about the major. Mr. Bishop said the major came into his shop a few deye ago to buy some fowling-pieces and rifles. He introduced himself as Major Smyth, of the Bengali, known in the sporting world as "Tiger Smyth," from the number of tigers which he said he had encountered and killed. He apologised for the state of his " toestery " by saying with an oath that his Freach servants had run off with kis port manteau, end he had not had time to get refitted by his tailor. The major selected several guns and rifles, but was not allowed to take them away until certain arrangements with his banker, which he s aid he contemplated, were In the evening the major ran into the shop and said, " Oh, Bishop, I'm hard up and wan to t g u cash oto the opera, but the Oriental is shit and I lan% get a supply. Can yo a cheque for 101. 1" Mr. Bishop was thrown off his guard ; he cowented to cash a cheque on the Oriental Bank, and he gave the tiger-killer a 101. not es On preseere were nting t he he cheque at the bank the pre.enter was told th effects, and the cashier expressed his regret that he should have parted with his m ney on the faith of such a docu ment. Mr. Bishop said he suspected a new hat sported by the defendant was part of the produce of his 101. note, for the hatter who furnished the hat sent the defendant's greasy cap in a hat box to his house, as he said the defendant had ordered his cap to be sent to his friend Bishop's.— The defendant said he was sorry his cheque had been die- hoaoured. He had made arrangements at the Oriental Bank for a sum of 1,2001., which was due to him, and his friend, Col. limes, would ear him out in what he now said, and also come forward to speak to his character. He pledged his honour as a gentleman that he never intended to defraud Mr. Bishop, and to convince the court of his honesty he had sent Mr. Bishop an order to receive his half pay.—Mr. Bishop said such an order had not reached him.—Police constable Westmoreland went to CoL Una to make inquiry. • 60 , Aberdows 36..tstsenrc.Not.k 11001 . 10 Birth.

The Stock Exchange was very thinly attended in the morning, as some hundreds of the members were necessarily absent in the discharge of their duties as special constables appointed to aid in the preservation of the peace. Little business was done, therefore, until late in the oflicial day, but meanwhile prices 1, remained tolerably firm. Console opened at 801, to were done in one or two instances afterwards 1 z lower, but after two o'clock, when the real results of the great chartist demonstration became known, the quotations rapidly improved, and Console, after one or more bargains actually transacted at 81;,,, left off to for money and account.

The attitude of the City to-day, in the face of a demonstration which by chartist leaders, and by t h e government organ as if in concert, was so imminently to threaten the peace of the metropolis, and conclude in nothing short of a general fight and sack, was admirable in all respects. No one, to judge from the formidable display of fortifications at te Bank of England alone, could have expected less than a fight d routrance for life and property. Scarcely a man, however, was away from his poet, just as, previously, as the danger appeared to thicken and threaten, according to official and officious representa tions, every man only hastened the more anxiously to enrol himself for the performance n onerous, and as in all appearance also of a perilous duty. Fortunately all ended well, and to the exposure of the gross exaggerations previously practised upon public credulity. The accounts from the Continent are, financially more ev en than politically , of a gloomy aspect From Berlin it is stated t hat the new Minister of Finance has announced to the Diet the necessity . of raising a loan to meet the exigencies of an Im pending war. How, in the present circumstances of European money markets, a loan is to be realised for any continental state, it has yet to be shown. The Royal Bank of Prussia also requires to be assisted, with a view to extend accommodation to commerce, so greatly distressed in all parts of the kingdom. But such assistance can only be rendered by the issue of state obligations, inconvertible into hard money except at heavy rates of discount, or by an authorised issue of a larger amount of bank-note money, which must therefore be rateably depreciated. At Vienna the state of money affairs was little different. The prohibition of the export of specie has only served to depress public and private credit. For the moment the Bank of Vienna, an extremely well-conducted in stitution, bad come to the assistance of commerce with an advance of two millions of florins, but it is plain that this was a temporary effort, which cannot be renewed to any . extent, since the very prohibition referred to so indicates the weakness of credit as must inevitably lead to and encourage the hoarding of specie, and therefore its abstrae. tion from the uses of the general market. Bo well is this understood, and so mach felt, in the money market of Amsterdam, where, and at Frank-1 fort, Austrian credit and securities have been usually most in repute, that Austrian coupons Metalliqoes could find no buyers, though offered at 20 per cent. discount, whilst the bonds are reported down to 46 and 47. The private correspondence of the Daily News this morning testifies sufficiently to the em- Ihnrassments of French finance and of the Bank of I France with its increased paper issues, its diminish in stock of specie, its daily addition of discounted diminish belle dishonoured, and its treasury account, say public I deposits, representing government resources, unim proved. Respecting the partial interruption of commerce between this country and the Hanse Towns, from the threatened refusal to ship in Hanseatic bottoms, we have received the following communication, which is, lit will be seen, authoritative : Sir,-1 have received a despatch from Hamburg, dated 7th April, 1848, intimating that commercial houses in this country have (Oren instructions to their agents here oat to ship geode iu Hanseatic vessels. I am, in consequence, directed to ausure the exporters of produce from Great Britain teat Hamburg bus maintained a perfect neutrality, end that there is no reason whatever to relieve that any futerference will take place with Hanseatic navigation. Is the full persuasion, therefore, that there is no danger what -1 over in shipping g lode in Hanseatic vessel. , I take leave to aotify this intimation to you for the information of the I exporters of produce from this country.—J.
