at lit, ry. It was impossible to control a large mu't - tude.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLARKE suggested, that if the meeting wf re not allowed to be held on Kennington•common, t'. - ,c ' should adjourn to Blackheath. Mr CUFFAY said the car had arrived, and as is v as tuns to go it was; useless talking any longer. After some discussion, it was decided that Mr. Clarke's suggestion ought not to be entertained. Ultimately some of the delegates became loud in their intimations that it was time to go, and the meeting taking the hint rose rather abruptly. Outside a large but orderly assemblage of people Were assembled awaiting the appearance of the delegates. The following hand-bill was freely die tributed amongst them : THE NATIONAL CONVENTION TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF LONDON. " Fellow Countrymen !—The time of your en franchisement is at hand! Nothing but the folly ot yourselves can prevent it ! If you would be success ful you must be peaceable. " The sacred cause of Freedom must not be tar nished by any act of violence ! The Convention declares that man to be an enemy who in any way cotnmits a Violation of the Peace. " The Convention will be at K.ENNINGTON OMMON at Eleven o'clock on MONDAY morn ing, APRIL 10, and will proceed with the National Petition along the line of route already published, and will observe, in all its proceedings, the most sacred regard fur life and property, and the, Peace of the Metropolis. " The Convention assures the Special Constables and other Authorities, that they may rely upon the aid ot the Convention in enforcing PEACE, LAW, and ORDER.—By order of the Convention, "PHILIP •M‘GRATH, President." PROGRESS OF THE DELEGATES TO KENNINGTON-COMMON. The delegates at a few minutes after ten o'clocl, took their seats in the waggon which had been sent up by the NATIONAL LAND ASSOCIATION, and of course their appearance was the signal for a lout burst of enthusiastic cheering on the part of the assembled multitude. The waggon was gaily deco rated with flags and banners bearing the usua mottoes of the . Chartist body, such as " Vote b) Ballot," " Universal Suffrage," &c., with a few other , applicable to the occasion ; amongst the most con spicuous of which were " Onward, and we conque, r backward and we " Who would be a slave if h' Could be free." " We are the millions, and want our right s ." " Speak with your voice—not with the musket." 'The waggon was preceded by an im menu) truck for the petition to rest upon, and botl , vehicles were drawn by four exceedingly fine cart horses. Mr. Feargus O'Connor took up a position in the centre seat, supported on either side by. Mr. - Ernest Jones, and Mr. M‘Gratle the Chairman of the Convention. The processiot , began t o move ahout half-past ten, and it is grati fying to state that it proceeded quietly and order!) do%n Holborn, along Farringdon-street, and acro:: Blackfriars-bridge, being cheered most energetics!!) 11 )3 , the people throughout the whole route. Not e policeman or soldier was to be seen from the point 01 starting to the bridge ; but it was stated that most el the large inns, the vacant space whereon former!) stood the Fleet-prison, and the Bridewell, in Br;dge street, were occupied with troops and large bodies of mounted police. KEN NINGTON. COMMON. On our reporter's reaching Kennington this morning, at an early hour, he found not more than from 400 or .500 persons congregated in the vicinity of the Common. Very few, indeed, disported them selves on the sward, which was exceedingly soft and damp, owing to the torrents of rain that fell during the night —the majority preferring to await the event of the day outside the rails. All the shops in the vi cinity, with one or two trifling exceptions, were closed —even the public-houses were barred, and the thirsty of the multitude found it, therefore, far from an easy matter to gratify their desire for drink or the scene of the demonstration. It is right to state that at the time we mention, between 8 and 1] o'clock, the conduct of those who had gathered together Was praiseworthy in the extreme; their demeanour was excellent and exemplary. There was no rushing to and fro, and thereby endangering the bodies, if not the lives, of the more peaceably disposed pedestrian. Piemen pursued their toils unmolested—bakers' carts, and bakers' baskets were spared from pillage; in fact the Proclamation of the Commissioners of Police, or rather of the Government, and the sen tences passed on Saturday at the Central Criminal Court on the pillagers of the pawnbroker's shop, ap peared to have awed the people, and struck terror into the breasts of the thieves, who were no doubt dis posed, almost at any risk, to turn a demonstration of the people into a melee for their advantage and profit. It was generally rumoured that Kennington Church, the Vitriol 'Works, and the Horns Tavern, contained detachments of military. With respect to the Horns, we may state that the house was closed and barred, and that the blinds were down. Very few police were to be seen, and the greatest order and good feeling prevailed. Over copies of the letter written by the Convention to Sir George Grey, co pies of which were stuck about in all directions, the following words, in large letters, were inscribed— " The preservation of the peace and security of pro perty is the first duty of every citizen." " The National Convention will regard that man as an enemy, who in any way interrupts the peace of the metropolis." During the morning bands of special constables paraded through the streets, and contributed by their presence to allay, in a great measure, the apprehen• sion that had been excited in the minds of the inha bitants. It was a remaakable fact that nearly all the pawnbrokers',shops that came under our obser vation were closed. About eleven o'clock a large procession from Fins bury, consisting of about one thousand of various trades, arrived on the Common, and took up their position on the south side, when they were arranged under the superintendence of their marshals, according to the various trades. In one part of the Common a considerable number of persons were assembled round a speaker, who was endeavouring to persuade the people from committing any acts of violence ; that all such proceedings would be attended with evil consequences; and especially enforcing his arguments by the assurance " that God would avenge his ow; elect." About half-past eleven an-immense procession from the'Tower Hamlets . and Spitalfields, who had pre viously assembled on Stepney-green, proceeded along Bishopsgate-street and over London-bridge. They were joined in the Blackfriars-road by a pro cession of the Irish Confederates. SSELL -SQUARE. The procession was headed by a band. The Irish confederates, who joined in the procession, carried the green and orange flag. There were numerous flags, among which—the tricolor was particularly con spicuous. (‘ The cordwainers," who beaded the procession, bore a flag bearing the inscription, " Let labour have its due, and never shall my heart repine." There were also numerous white flags bearing th e inscription, " The Charter, and no surrender." The whole of the procession was arranged by mar shals. It was very generally reported that the Irish Confederates came prepared for any collision that might take place. About the same time another large body ar rived at the Brixton end of the Common, also dis playing large tri-color flags, and several poles carried surmounted by caps of liberty, and THE SUN,- _LONDON; MONDAY hthreee , h ( "" - - Charter, a nd people then nt h g be i r n aon f e (_ , l i t wi h nl e yg.

The bridge itself was densely crowded all the forenoon, by the masses moving on towards Ken. nington-common ; and at the foot of the bridge, to- Nerds the Westminster-road, two large bodies of the police, drafted from the N and V divisions, were stationed to enforce the notice issued this Morning that " No pro cession accotnpanyine• the petition would be allowed to cross the bridge.' There were ether notices placarded on the parapet of the bridge, warning the public that the Paling was only temporary, and that it was dangerous to crowd the bridge. In Palace. yard, in front of Westminster Hall, a troop of in milted police (of the S divisuin) was stationed all the morning. the men were armed with cutlasses and pistols. There was a reserve of special constables stationed in West minster Hall, and parties of those odiceqs, distinguish( d by broad armlets of white silk, paraded the adjoining s f y ig ee ti t r s s f q r t ( i m a i re A , ti w ii h g i r c lo h n- l s a tr tt e; r t tsoiC,acheariwngas cro ss mid 'l'ra police from eight o' c lock in the n i ° o e r e ll U l l li i ;. d 1 1 ) 11 Westminster-bridge-road and the Kennington main road nearly ail the shops were shut. Detachments of police were stationed at several points, and within the enclo sure of Bethlehem Hospital there were stationed _a com pany of artillery and a troop of the Horse Guards. hese roads were excessively crowded with thousands hurrying forward to the common, but the whole fore noon passed away without the exhibition of any alarm ing symptom, or of any thing to excite the least appre hension of a breach of the peace. It became known to the authorities that the marshals of the procession, having received notice of the deter minationb ridge with of h Com missioners not to allow them to cros s Blackfriars tthee petition,becreta of State and the they ch of route, and it was given out'tihattheitrhedepseigtin- Lion would not be taken by the procession over Blackfriars bridge ; but that was taken possession of, as well as Waterloo-bridge, by the police, and placards were put up to the same effect, as on Westminster -bridge, that no procession would be allowed to accompany the petition across any of the bridges. Three cabs were then called upon the common, and the petition transferred in various parcels from the wag gons to them. A member of the Executive occupied each of the cabs with the petition, which then drove off with loud cheers. Mr. J. Hartley, Mr. Jones. Mr. Reynolds, and the gentlemen who addressed the Irish confederation, left the common, accompanied by large numbers of the people, and at two o'clock, of the whole of the vast as sembly, there were scarcely a hundred persons on the common. All the roads leading (rota the common were, of course, thronged by the numbers leaving it. Mr. James White, reporter for the Government, was allowed to have a seat in the van, and took a close " note" of the speeches which were delivered. His po sition was by no means an enviable one, if it be true, as stated, that two or three ignorant fellows who had sin gled him out intended to annihilate him. He was, as usual, entrusted by some enthusiasiastic Chartists with confidential messages to Lord John Russell and his colleagues respecting their rights and their innumerable grievances. On the meeting breaking up the people dispersed in different directions, the most numerous body proceeding along the Kennington-road towards Westminster-bridge. They proceeded in a peaceable manner without any pre tence to walk in order. They proceeded over W estminater uridge, the police not attempting to obstruct their progress. The discretion which the authorities exhibited cannot be too much commended. As thecrowd approached the police filed on each aide of the bridge, and allowed the people to pass, a few at a time, until the road was in some de gree eased of the immense mass of human beings with which it was crowded. A great number of the police were then withdrawn from the bridge and stationed near the House of Commoi:s, in order to protect that part from any obstruction. WESTMINSTER -BRIDGE. THREE O'CLOCK. The approaches to Westminster-bridge are stopped, and the various thoroughfares leading to and from the Houses of Parliauient are sLrungly guarded by large bodies of police. It was not without some difficulty that the bridge was cleared, and even now the police are struggling to disperse a mob that persists in retaining possession of Bridge-street. The Police Commissioners have just issued a placard, stating that no parties will be allowed to pass along Parliament street with the petition, excepting those who are actually in charge of it. A number of determined Chartists were heard to announce at the meeting on Kennington Com mon, that be the consequences what they might, they would make an attempt to follow the petiLit.n to White halL BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. MONDAY, APRIL 10, IS4S. All quiet at Liverpool at 10 45, A.M.

The Continental advices received to-day are not of special interest, beyond what appears in the morning papers. The declaration of war by Austria against Sar dinia excites no surprise. From the United States there are late advices by the Cambria. The intelligence of the revolution in Paris had caused a great sensation, and the probable influence of that great political event upon the position of the United States was much debated. The mercantile advices mention that " should the steamer from Liverpool, now nearly .due, bring advices that the revolution has settled down into a Provisionary Government, and that the movement had been confined to France, it will re li eve the m i n ds of all classes on this side very much, an d g i ve a gre at impetus to specula tion. We have no idea that such will be the cha racter of the next accounts, as the effect of even what had taken place at the latest dates upon public confidence, upon trade and the ge nera l industry of E uro p e, has, no doubt, been sufficient to prostrate credit and produce a great derangement in the commercial affeirs of the world. We shall nut es ca p e ; our expor t trade will be materiall y reduced, but our import trade may fall off sufficient to keep the balance of trade about where it is. " Within the past lew days prices of stocks generally have falle n off, but this is attributed more to the con dition of the mane Y market than to an y thing else, although there i s tot doubt but that the position of poli tical strain on the other side, and the probable , ffect upon financial and commercial affairs, have a depressing influence.

A similar procession also arrived from Clapham -mon, couvosed of the men of Merton, Morton. Tooting, &c. At twelve o'clock the cheers of the emt d multitude, who by this time numbered, includin those around the common, at least 150,000. announced the arrival of the car, containing the p2ti tion, drawn by four or five horses, caparisoned with red, blue, and white ribands, followed by another open waggon, containing in the front Mr. F. O'Connor and the members of the Convention. The 'Miami, which was of an enormous size, occupying nearly the whole of the waggon, was placcd upon a hind of bier, so that i:, could be lifted out with facility, and conveyed into the House. Upon the car were a numbel of figs with various inscriptions, and down th front were inscribed " The Voice of the People,' Vote by Ballot," " Universal Suffrage," " No Pro psrty Qualification ;" and upon the sides were painted the words " We are millions, and demand our rights," " Who would be a slave who could be free ?" " The people are the source of industry, and ought to be the first to partake of its fruits." The waggons drove on to the common, and afrer travelling round, took up a position near the Horns. ARREST OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR, ESQ. At this moment considerable commotion took place in consequence of a cry having been raised that F. O'Connor had been arrested. Upon proceeding to the spot, we found a dense crowd col lected, who from their cries and demeanour, evinced, that if such were the case, an attempt at rescue would immediately take place. In he midst of the crowd we observed Mr. Commissioner Mayne and Mr. Abel Smith, M.P., on horseback, addressing Mr. O'Connor, who was on foot in the road, accompanied by Mr. M‘Grath. After the lapse of a few minutes, in which the greatest confusion prevailed, Mr. O'Connor mounted the roof of one of " Ransom's Patent Safety's," which had been arrested in its course by the crowd, and having at length °b rained silence, said— " My friends,—Nothing can be more civil than the authorities have been to me. They have given rule quiet message ; I am going back to the meeting. tlow foolish then it is for you to be irritated , to be ridiculous in your conduct, and try to jeopardize the .cause which you and I ha.e at heart.—(Renewed confusion.) I am now going back to the meeting. Fhe Honourable Gentleman then proceeded towards 'ne meeting amidst the loud cheers of the multitude, while Mr. Commissioner Mayne and Mr. A. Smith proceeded down the Kennington-road towards the po lice•station amid the yells and execrations of the crowd. CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION AT THE EAST END OF LONDON.—(THIS DAY.) As early as seven o'clock this morning men and lads were congregating on Stepney-green. At nine o'clock it was announced that a procession of Chartists was approaching from the Bethnal-Green district, and in a short time they came in sight, a band pre ceding them. To every party of thirty or forty men there was a white flag, bearing the number of the section to which they belonged. There were numerous banners with the words " The Charter and no surrender " " The Bethnal-green National Land Company,"—" Live and Let Live.' We also noticed the tri-coloured flag being borne amongst the principals. The men walked arm in arm, six abreast, with pink and white ribbons at tached to their button-holes. They mustered several thousands. The parochial authorities, however, with their specials, were on the alert. Most of the shol,s were closed. The body was told to keep peace and order, and the victory would be theirs. At half-past nine they moved down the Whiteehapel-road, over London-bridge, to Kennington. At the Docks, the labourers sworn in as specials were mustered at an early hour this morning, and were immediately placed on their respective posts. The Royal Mint had an accession of troops during th,:: night, and was strengthened in every way to repel an attack. The arrangements for securing the fur• tress of the Tower of London have already ap peared. The Foot Guards, Royal Artillery, and Sappers and Miners had considcroble additions. Similar protection was afforded to the Trinity House, East India House and warehouses, Custom House, &c. A strong detachment of the 63d Regiment, between nine and ten o'clock, was marched into the Mansion House, ready to act in case of any emergency. The Royal Exchange was closed, excepting to mer chants. At nine o'clock between two hundred and three hundred pensioners, fully equipped, took pos session of the merchants' area, and now remain under arms. Similar precaution is also adopted at Lloyolt - , South Sea House, the banks, and insurance- offices. The Electric Telegraph Station, behind the Brnk, is in the hands of the Government. A military guard here on duty. Up to the time of this being written, the City be trayed no symptoms of disorder. Very few shops are closed, and there seems to be the usual amount of business going on. The City authorities, between two. and three o'clock this morning, were alarmed by the out ',reek of a serious fire in the vicinity of Gos well-street, which was followed by a loud ex plosion. The fire, which burned down several houses in the above street, was ascertained to be quite accidental. The flames extended to an oil warehouse, in which was stored 1001bs. of powdor, which exploded. NEWMARKET RACES. - NEWMARKET, SUNDAY NIGHT. I The Craven Stakes did not fill, Lola Montiz walks over for the Riddlesworth, and the match between Con- I spiracy and Geraldine is postponed to Wednesday. The laces, therefore, for to-morrow, will be six in numbix, which the following were made to-night: — Handicap, D.M.

Spider, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Vert Vert, 4 yrs, Bst 31b ; Cir cas,ian Maid, 4 yrs, Bst 31b; Carissinaa, 6 yrs, Bst. The extra train this evening brought a considerable accession of company, but from reasons too obvious to be notified, the attendance is likely to be far below the average. The Observer of Sunday, April 9, gave twelve folio columns of Chartist movements, including upwards of three columns of the Saturday proceedings of the National Convention. Mr. Feargus O'Connor's speech at length, preparations of the Government, and all the latest particulars of the intended demonstration. L may be asked, why is the Observer enabled on every po pular occasion to do so much better than other journals? The reply is, that the establishment of the Observer is equal to that of all the other Sunday papers put toge ther; so far as regards editors and reporters, the Observer is on an equality with nearly all the daily newspapers. The Observer gave a column of Saturday's proceedings at a meeting of surveyors at Freemason's Tavern, Saturday's Marylebone Vestry, &c. &c.—Price of the Übserver Gd.

Kent, Bart., Ist Life Guards, expired sud denly on Saturday morning last while at barracks with his regiment, it is supposed from the bursting of a blood vessel. The deceased baronet was the only child of the late Sir C. E. Kent, Bart., and Lady S. M. Lygon, third daughter of the late Earl Beauchamp. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in December, 1834, his mother having died in the previous month. Sir Charles completed his 29th year on the 15th of Feb. last. The baronetcy becomes extinct by his lamented death. The Earl of Beauchamp, the Hon. General Lygon, the Countess (Dowager) of Longford, Mr. and Lady Emily llesketh, and several families of rank are placed in mourning by his dissolution. Loup BnouGuast.—The Noble and Learned Lord arrived at the family residence in Grafton-street, yes terday evening, from Paris, in which capital his Lord ship made a sojourn of six days, on his way to London from Cannes. GRAY'S INN.—Nearly 400 special constables, corr.- sistirg of barristers and stedents of the society, occu piers of chambers in the - inn, their clerks and servants,. were sworn in before Mr. Broderip and Mr. Walesby, at Gray's Inn Hall, on Saturday, and arrangements hay e teen made for comp!et, ly organizing their body. Tho Princess Lieven has left town for Brighton. , it t t S OFFICE, Quarter• past 7 litee o' Clock CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION. (THIS DAY.) THE MEETING ON KENNINGTO- COMMON. ABANDONMENT OF THE PROCESSION. We were informed that the nature of the communica tion given to Mr. O'Connor was to the effect that the !,ridges had be en taken possession of by the troops and peliee, and that if the procession proceeded to one o' them, that a collision with the authorities would be ine vitable. They represented that this message might be made known to the meeting. Mr. O'Connor promised to do so. Mr. O'CoNNOR then mounted the waggon and stated that the Government were determined to prevent them from proceeding across the bridges, and that he wool suggest, in accsrdance with the decision of the Cur ven tion this morning, " that the proceedings should ter minate with the meeting, and that the petition should be token to the House, in an ordinary manner, fur presentation this evening to the House of Commons." He put it to the meeting whether it would not be ad visable to adopt this course, and to avoid an inevitable collision with the authorities.. He thought it would be well not to violate the law, but to trust to the moral influence they possessed. The crowd immediately expressed its concurrence by cheers. Mr. F. O'Coltreon then addressed the meeting. He said that he hoped they would be peaceable, and not bring him into any trouble. He was sure that they could but ill afford to dispense with his services at pre sent. There was nothing sweet in lite for him but to witness the promotion of the interests of the people. He trusted, therefore, that all who were actuated by a wish that the voice of 5,100,736 people should be heard, for that was the number who signed the petition, and that the petition should be taken by the Executive to the House, and presented by him in the usual man ner, would hold up their hands.—(Here an im mense forest of hands were held up.) He called upon the meeting then quietly to disperse, and not form into any procession, even the horses who drew their ear would not go over the bridges, but go quietly to Greenwich. He again called upon the meet ing to take off their hats, and vow in the face of heaven that they would not violate the law. A vast portion of the mass here uncovered and vocife rously huzzaed. It ever he deserted the people might his God desert him.—(Loud Cheers.) He was d. ter mined to go on from conquering to conquer in he glorious cause of the people.—(Loud cheers.) At the conclusion of his speech, the lion. Gentleman ap peared to be much affected by the effect of his exertion And complained very much of a pain in his chest. Mr. E. Josses said that he was a physical force Chartist, but deprecated any attempt at collision with the authori ties when they were so unprepared for it. He was one of those who had recommended that the procession should not be formed on this side of the water, nor allow the bridges to be between them and the House of Commons. If they had met on the other siiie of the water the police would never have attempted to stop the procession. But as it was they were caught in the trap set for them by the police. It their petition was not granted, they would, however, meet in larger numbers upon the other side of the water, and earry their remonstrance to the foot of the Throne.— (Cheers.) If they dispersed peaceably upon this occasion they would, they might depend upon it, be able to meet in larger numbers upon another occa sion, joined by, thousands of the middle classes. Mr. F. O'Cosmon then asked leave to go as their ambassador to Sir George Grey, and inform him that they did not intend to come into collision wtih the au thorities, which was given to him by an immense number who held up their hands in approval of the proposition. Mr. F. O'Connor then left the waggon, stating that he was going in the office of plenipotentiary. and that his chest and his head were literally breaking. Mr. CLARK, in a violent speech, then moved the adop tion of a petition to the House of Commons aga i nst t he " Gagging Bill" of the Government. The speaker was frequently interrupted by persons in the crowd, who cried out, " Don't let the petition go down to Parliament tonight—take it back again, and wait till we can go with you. Mr. SPUR, a person in the crowd, deprecated the dispersion of the meeting, and a smart discussion was kept up between him and Mr. Donovan, one of the Con vention, on the propriety of dispersing. Mr. Spur said that he should recommend the procession going with the petition until they met the military, and then if they should attempt to stop them, why then it would be time to consider the propriety of dispersing. Mr. Cum's, one of the delegates, was also of opinion that it would be time enough to be afraid of the military when they were met with them face to f aca. Mr. KIDD, a delegate from Oldham, said that if the Government passed this Bill they would make treason rampant throughout the land. A DELEGATE wished Mr. Cuffity not to continue to incite the people to go in procession. • To this request Mr. CUFFAY replied that he was only expressing his opinion, and he would do so in spite of him or hell. Mr. SPUR, the individual wishing the people to go in procession, here got up in the waggon, and some very violent altercation took place between him and the other members of the Convention, while the terms " traitor," " coward," " braggadocio," were most liberally bandied about. Mr. BROOKEs then addressed the people, denouncing Mr. Spur as a traitor, and one who had deserted them to go to the moral force humbugs at the National Hall. Mr. DOYLE, the chairman, stepped up to Mr. Spur, and stated that he would give him into custody it he attempted to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting. There was not a greater coward present than Mr. Spur; he was one of the pro-Lovett party, that had left them at the National Hall. Mr. CUFFAY said that ho believed the whole Con vention Here a set of cowardly humbugs, and be would have nothing more to do with them, and proceeded to the hinder part of the waggon for the purpose of leaving them. The motion for the adoption of the petition was unanimously agreed to, and the Chairman declared the meeting dissolved. The wa,gon was then, with its six horses, driven rapidly through the immense crowd, causing the utmost confusion. The members of the Convention then ; left the waggons, and the crowd began to disperse. Im mense numbers of persons still continued in different groups discussing the propriety of forming in procession towards the bridge. THE IRISH CONFEDERATES. Mr. G. W. M. REYNOLDS addressed from a balcony 4,000 or 5,000 of the body who rallied round. the Irish flag at the side of the common. He said their peaceable conduct that day—their intention not to allow the slightest disturbance—would do their cause incalculable good, as it would show to the world that they were worthy of the possession of the rights they sought. He concluded an elaborate ad dress by imploreing them not to commit any breach of the peace, and to wait until the House of Commons had refused their petition. Mr. WEST next addressed the throng. He said the peaceable demeanour of the hundreds of thousands would show to Lord Jobn Russell and Sir George Grey that whilst they were treated like men, they would not violate the law. If bringing up troops by special trains, if overawing them in every possible way, was to be the law, the time might come when they would take the law into their own hands. Let them be assured of this that the National Convention would not cease to agitate until the Charter had been obtained. (Loud cheers.) Ireland should belong to her people, and not to an absentee aristocracy. It shall be a free land—it shall no longer be a land of alaves.—(Cheers.) If the Government thought they could transport the Chartists, let them take care that they were not transported themselves—let them take care of their own lives. The people were the true power, and they were determined to wield it—determined not to be shot down for simply advocating their inherent rights. If the Government refused to grant the prayer of their petition let them take the responsibility upon themselves. If they had their spies upon them they had their spies upon them. He wished to say to Prince Albert, and those who cried them down, " We can put down revolutionary movements—if you are disposed to be brave wait a little and we will show you what we can do. You shall not attack us unprepared."—(Cheers.) Mr. J. HARNEY next came forward. He said, if the Government had been making preparations to meet the French who were upon their way to the metropolis, they could not have made greater preparations to put them down.—(liear.) An Act of Parliament, passed in the time of the diabolical, the debauched, the scoundrel Charles IL, had been raked up to punish them; but let them bear in mind that Lord W. Russell, the ancestor of Lord J. Russell, wasbeheaded in that reign for advocating the principles they had met to promote. How would Lord John Russell like if they raked up an old Act to Finish him. (A. voice—" Off with his head !"—A latrgh.) Yes; they intended this to be a peaceable de monstration, but if they did not obtain their just rights i simei n ele d enca t h ut eddi e u m ftooo t I h br reee other lnsahenoxdtt:ttime adby o e he could assure the military and police that they would n oo th w e ar o o t e h d e other thatsid e th o e f y t the d w a b e t ter. lie — m (Laughter N )— ot b ti u n t g t h h a e ra re were who slow dera re t v eetSo imitate n. _ge(Hoerar: theh e haer Robin f). f Hoodthey and wouldhim self and take not h his terriblebce o, n f e were denied their rights, the greatness of England 010 cou ld not long continue.

He hoped the time was not far distant when the union between England and Irelandwould be one of affection, and not merely of Parliament.

Fresh up .to -day very little Wheat of home produce came to hand, either from Essex, Ke nt, or Cambridgeshire, hence the show of samples of that grain was trifhng, though of fair average qua lit y . Owing toost the Chartist movement, very few factors or buyers, most e whom were called away at an early boure to serve as special constables, were in attendance. We have, there fore, to report an unusually inactive sale for all kinds of English Wheat at almost nominal quotations. In foreign ' Wheat we have scarcely a transaction to notice, at late figures. Barley was a dull inquiry, at previous quota tions. Scarcely a transaction took place in Malt, at unaltered figures. The supply was by no means large. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, as last advised. In Flour nothing doing.. We never recollect so small an amount of business doing here on any previous Monday.

The demand for all kinds was active, at im proved quotations. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-day were limited, but of excellent quality. Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was small, the Beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 4d to 6d per 81bs. A few of the best Scots sold as high as 4s Bd, but the more general top figure for Beef did not exceed 4s 6d per 81b. A good clearance was effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of about 1,000 Scots and Short Horns; from the Northern, Western, and Midland counties, 800 Herefords, Runts, Devons, and Irish beasts; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; and from Scotland, 210 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were again scantily supplied. The Mutton trade was very firm, at Friday's advanced rates of 2d per 81bs. The primest old Downs sold peadily at 5s 6d per Sibs. From the Isle of Wight there were received 83 - Sheep and 160 Lam bs. The L amb trade was agai n steady, st from 6 d to 7d per Blbs.

James Mayhew, 41, a most respetable man, and described in the calendar as an auctioneer, was indicted with feloniously forging, altering, and uttering $ bill of exchange for 271. 14i. 6d., with intent to defraud Cuthbert Collingwood Hall, well knowing the same to have been forged. The facts of the case have been so recently before the public that it will be quite unnecessary to recapitulate them. The prisoner had acted as agent to the prosecutor in getting hia bills discounted, and the charge against him was that of obtaining the amount of the bibs, and putting his signature to them, without the authority of the prose. cwor. _ _ . Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the pro secutior.; Mr. Perry defended the prikoner. The case appeared hkdy t i occupy the Court to a late hour, and the greater part of the morning has been occupied Kith reading a most volumicous correspon dence between the prisoner and the prosecutor for the purpose of showing that the prosecutor had authorised the prisoner to do what 1i had done.

Bailey (convicted on Saturday and sentenced to seven years' transportation), John Williams and George Smith, were indicted with feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Robert Creasy, in South ampton street, Camberwell, on the 13th of March last, and stealing therefrom a large quantity of boots and other articles, his property. The evidence given in this case was similar to that given in the case of the robbery of Mr. Grey, on Satur day. The prisoners all of them denied any knowledge of the robbery. The jury found them all Guilty.

Mr. BODKIN, on the part of the prosecution, declined offering any evidence against the prisoner Webster, who was acquitted on Saturday of being a party to the rob bery at Mr. Grey's, and he was ordered to be discharged. The evidence against the other prisoners was precisely similar to that brought forward in the last case. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty, with the ex ception of John Denmore and Thomas Howlett, both of whom they acquitted. Benjamin Prophett, Thomas Howlet4. Robert-Archer, acquitted on Saturday, William Barrett, George Lovers, convicted on Saturday and sentenced to 7. years' tran sportation, Henry Davis, and William Bugden were indicted with feloniously breaking, an 1 entering the dwelling-house of Alfred Thomas on the Oth of March last, and stealing one pound_ weight of cigars, and other articles, his property. The evidence in this case was very similar, to the last, and the robbery, like the previous one, arose out of the meeting and riot that took place at Kennington Coninion on the 13th of last month.

' OXFORD CIR C CUT . Gloucater, April 6. RO‘N'N COURT. Esau TroUghton, 30, .was indicted fiir breaking and entering the, dwelling-house of Charles Cull, at Ashchurch, on the 24th of November, and stealing therefrom a ,silver watch, some silver spoons, and other articles. The prisoner was in the prosecutor's employ, as a farm servant, living in the house. In the morning of the day in question, Mr. and Mrs. Cull went to Tewkesbury, givii:g the prisoner orders to attend to the field work on the farm, and on their return in the evening, about six o'clock, they found that some per son had entered the house by forcing the bolt of a window, and then putting their hands through, had opened the door. On going up-stairs they discovered that some boxes had been completely ransacked; everything was in confusion, and the articles enume rated in the indictment stolen. Several circum stances tended to attach suspicion to the prisoner, who gave a man some cider, and was seen in the cider-house about the time that the robbery was sup posed to have been committed, when his master's orders, and his own duties, should have found him at work in the fields. The next day some of the stolen spoons, wrapped up in a handkerchief, were found hidden in the thatch of the stable. This handker chief belonged to the prisoner's brother Isaac, but was seen in Esau's possession on the day of the robbery. A melancholy feature in this case was that of the prosecution calling the prisoner's aged mother as a witness to prove the ownership of the handkerchief. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and two pre vious convictions, on one of which he was adjudged to be transported, were proved against him. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said that all reformation in him appeared to be totally hopeless, and passed sentence of fourteen years' transportation. William Bean, 26, brought,up by a writ of habeas corpus from Bristol gaol, was indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Elizabeth lleddow, at Clifton, on the 13th of June, his former wife, Fanny Spriggs, being then alive. The JUDGE told him his case was not a very aggra vated one ; still a man deceiving a woman under such circumstances, entailed great injury on the individual and occasioned more evil to society than when a woman committed the offence of bigamy. It was true he had not done the woman the injury he might have done, as it appeared he had never lived with her under the same roof after the completion of the ceremony, and not, therefore, consummated the marriage; still women's feelings were not to be trifled with, and their hopes of domestic happiness destroyed by men acting towards them in such a way. Sentence, three months hard labour.

Ile had on a brown frock cloth coat, black trousers, and a very good pair of Blucher boots, and altogether his dress was respectable. In his pockets were found one farthing and two small bottles which had contained laudanum, and a bottle that had gin in it.
