THE REVILE RETROSPECTIVE. The following letters throw considerable light on the intrigue of the Spanish marriages : Ti THE KING. : VA- Richer, Wedne.day Evening , Aug. 13, 1845 , .. Sire—Colonel Dumas, whom I saw this morning, wi 11 re; ate to the King what my thoughts are upon the di.f_ ferent questions on which the King charged him to speak- to me. I presume to hope that my opinions will receive the approbation of the King. Herewith I send private letters from Bresson, Mon tebello, Rossi, and Jarnac; they contain nothing new. All these men are ab le, and perfectly comprehend and execute what is good polio}. In their hands the most delicate affsirs inspire in me only that degree of in quietude which it is impossible not to feel in matters of that sort. I perceive that the cause of the Count de Trapani flags a little.' Even those who I believe really de sire his success, Queen Christina and the King of Naples, would appear not to rely much upon it. We have done much for that cause, and it seems to me that it will be wise not to engage ourselves much further in it, and to remain in a gool position with the Duke de Seville, who outwardly will rise to no difficulties, and who may be, perhaps, the candidate who will meet with the least opposition internally, if Queen Christina can be led, I do not say to desire it actively, but to accept of him. I have said a good deal to Bresson in this sense, and have taken care to impress it upon him. The conver sation of M. le Due de Nemours will be important. Per haps the King would not consider it mal a propos to Ts ...mind him to show that nearly equal shade of good fee ling to both parties which it is desirable he should eslkibit alike to Trapani and to Seville. Bois-le-Comte wishes to be soon sent to Rome; but I consider that it is absolutely necessary that M. Rossi should remain there until the serious and real execution of the promised measures, as regards the Jesuits, is car ried out. Nobody can carry that measure to a termina tion so well as him. I urge it upon him by every packet, in order that he may, in his turn, urge the Holy Bee. Definite success in this matter will still cost us mulch trouble; but we shall, we must, manage to obtain it. Nothing , in my opinion will tend more to serve a nd honour the King's Government than the termination of these sorts of disputes without exciting scandal or open rupture. I beg of the King to be so good as to affix his signa- Sure to the ordonnance hereunto annexed. The Minister of Public Works requests it of me. M. Mosca has rendered us many service in Sardinia, and upon our frontier. Lord and Lady Palmerston will vety probably come to Paris towards the close of October. I am, with the meet profound respect, Sire, Your Majesty's very humble and very faithful servant and subject, GUIZOT. P.S. The King will perhaps have the gooduess to re- Jurn me those letters after he has read them: there are inany of them to which I may have occasion to refer. A. ht. EFFIZOT, MINISTRE DES AFFAIRES ETRANG EDES. Eu, Thursday, Augu st 14, 1845. May dear Minister,—T our express reached me be tween eleven o'clock and noon, and I send you another in order that you may r eturn, as soon as possible, the letters which I send you hereunto annexed. I perceive that, as usual, your opinion ag rees with mine upon all the p us. I oints which no w occu py ob serve also that the tour agents you mention perfectly co mprehead our affairs, and are doingtheavehryatthiumfeor thuntiel bast as regards them. Rossi imus h t rh re h to a close here ever ything is finished and i hi Not only do I s ee nobody but meelfgw inspires o could succeed, but I know nobo d y but himself who sufficient confidence to cover responsibility, in case we should hare to contend against some check at Riene. Bois-le-Comte must absolutely not go there before all is completely finished. I hope that then he will do well there; b u t until then, his being sent there would encourage our ad yersaries, and be a source of irritation here. As you sa e, he must persevere and finish it altogether, for with out that be done it is in vain to hope for religions peace in F em me, and nobody could do more to attaiu that than Bosse has done. I remit you also herewith your ordonnance, and the translations of two letters from Narvaee and Martinez de la Rosa to Bresson, precisely as they have been transmitted me by Nemours. I did not get the origi nate. When I received your packet I was about writing toeeton to say that I intended to write this evening to the Due de Nemoers precisely in the sense which you point oat, and even more explicitely; for I at last begin to believe that they have not done better than we have in the first place, and Bresson and Montebello subse• quently, in bringing about the marriage between the liount Trapani and the Queen of Spain. It was difficult w have done more towards the failure of the project than has been done by my august relations. And what is still worse, I believe as you do, that the marriage has become so unpopular that it ie possible that it may be itnposble, or 'rather that it cannot be effected veithoM braving, or doing violence to the feelings of the Spaniards, or without drawing upon us the most set-isms dangers for the suture. lam even persuaded that Queen Christina is alarmed, and only now led to entertain a desire for it (and I believe this wish is only a feeble one) by two motives; the one arises (and this before all other motives) from her profound anti pathy for everything which comes from her sister; the other, that with her fear of us, she dares not to under• take to suppoitt the Coburg& I believe at the same time that Queen Christina has lost her popularity in Spain to eueh an extent (and I regret it, because she deserves a better lot) that she feels that leer presence there is more prejudicial than useful to the Government of her daugh ter, and that she in fact only wishes to hasten the mar riage of Queen Isabella in order that she may be enabled to quit Spain, and come and bury herself in the Rue de Courceilee with her husband. If so, then let it be so (so in the original). But our political interest, no less than our conscientious duties, demand that we should prevent her, as far as in us lies, from making her departure a sort of adieu de Medee, as regards Spain and her daugh ter, the which would set everything in combustion, and which would as certainly be as contrary to the real w;eites of her heart, as it would be to the calculations of her mind. Tito principal point, then, appears to me to be, to ascertain whether or not the marriage of the Count de Trapani would oe this adieu de Illedee ; and it seems to me -to he exceedingly difficult, placed as we are, to form any positive opinion won this point. We should leave ' this to the Spaniards themselves, nor trouble ourselves either about their opinion or their choice, provided they exercise them in the person of some member of the family for which we have declared ourselves. We shall then see if the marriage of Trapani can be carried out freely, hut we must not mix ourselves up in anything like what the Italians call la prepotenza. Such is, in my opinion, the language and line of action which you should prescribe to Bresson. If this marriage can be carried into effect with free will, and without prepotenza, we cannot, new ought we to oppose it. But if we see before us— and I fear it much—such a mass of resistances end op positions, that it would be folly to brave them, then we ought to join ourselves with those who will strive to make () s emen Christina feel these dangers, and we should reelse ar. appeal to the elevation of her patriotic and ma ternal sentiments, to induce her nettly to sacrifice her antipathy towards the issue of her sister, by consenting to the marriage of the Q ueen , h er daughter, with the' Due de Seville (Enriquit o ), For it once the marriage of the Coons de Trapani goes off, I do not see the possi bility of any other, since that of the son of I)on Carlos a ppears to be impossible in the actual state of public opinion in Spain. In the meanwhile—and it i s very possible that it in by do so—the abandonment of the pro ject of Trapani may, more or less, retard, f the o conclusion of any marriage whatever of th e Queen Spain. I think that we should altogether abstain froni n eencing the name of that Prince. Neverth e e v l e e7 r s Pro ought, by being silent on the subject, to reserve to , we er selves the right of fut ure action, and should, furt e h u er, keep in our han ds full libert y to follow that li ne of con- , duct which circumstances might require. Stich, my dear Minister, is my way of viewing this grave affair; and in order that he may the better know what I mean, I have had my letter to you transcribed as I hare written it (it is now two o'clock in the morning), and to-day I shell send this copy, which he will still have time to receive at Bordeaux, since, as the telegraph has already told you, he is detained there by indisposi tion of no great consequence, but which is the result of the fatigues of his voyage. Happily this journey is only one of many that have been equally useful and brilliant, and lam quite sure that you will share with us in the satisfaction which the success of this dear and precious child has caused us. As regards that of which ,Tarmac spoke to you upon the subject of another project of marriage, you know as well as any one, that at bottom, I am not favourable to a combination which in the actual state of things ap pears to me" pregnant with peril" (so in original) and that all that I have ever been-able to say in its favour has been, "Let us wait for the future." But if the dangers of the present time should not disappear, then you know thatl should say at once, " Don't think of it." This is else the disposition of the Queen, and'of my family, and particularly that,of. my youngest son. 'ln the meantime, if,the chances which I dread should shortly happen to be widely ieniovell, then this combination would possibly become desirable. As regards the rest, the letter of Jaruac has given me idea greatest pleagure ' and I can say in all sincerity, that I have n o d ou bt whatever that the dispositions of Lord Aberdeen are really those which he has manifested. Bon aoir, my dear Ministre, LOUIS PHILIPPE. L M. GinEOT, lIINISTRE DES AFFAIRES ETRANGE 4I R ' s Eu Thursday Evening, Aug. 2 ' 1.1845: Mon cher.Miaisir As if I -had a s k e d D uc h ate l, h e is arrived this evcai, h n e : -- s g, and has s t ar t e d aga i n ; so t h at be will:be fou n d at has beenpost to-morrow mor n i ng a t P ar i s . This slight tripvery useful to us. In the first pl a ce, it has arranged to our entire and mutual satisfac tion the affair of the Peers d in th e nex t pl ace i t h as ena bled us to agree as to what was best to b e d one t o avoid the serious ernbarrassinenc, and which th e dis patialies from Africa and Souk B ts r g, received here yes terday evening, seasonably enough, put us in a c on di t i on to discuss together. I have sent to the Keeper of A s regards the Peers, the Seals (who returns tomorrow to Paris) the nine deputies, ordonnances for the n omina t i on of the nineed in our last n which were settled , signed, and,eotinterstg theettr o ig S h u t n o tt, council at Paris; they •are"dated from this on the 14th August, and will be published in t the s /If e ofon it e n the 24th August. As retards deputies, settled, sig,ned, and countersigned at the same counciliit is agreed as Duchatel desired, that they s h all be ptiblished without alterations or additions at the moment when the election of the nine new d.p ut i„ s will be terminated, that is to say in about a month. We are all three perfectly of one mind upon this arrangement, which leaves the door open to make or not to make - new peers, according as circumstances may require, between the end of September and the commencement of the sesions of the chambers. You will receive by this estalette all the papers which were addressed to you by your colleagues upon the new incident arising out of the order of the day, or circular (nu matter which) of Marshal Bugeaud. We are quite agreed that it was necessary to stifle the affair, and consequently to calm on the one hand the very great irritation of Marshal Soult, and on the other to• open a door through which Marshal Bugeaud may re trace his steps without embarrassment, and this door we endeavour to open by taking hold of the first phrase of his publication, " I have ground to hope that I shale/ soon be authorized." For he has established nothin g more by this phrase than that the measure he announc es depends upon a future contingency, and consequently there is no very embarrassing retractation for him in re straining measures thus conditionally announced, within such limits as shall be agreed upon in his visit to Soult Berg with Marshal Soult. But to make this expedient available, it is necessary that both parties should be made to agree to it, and that may not be so easy. Nevertheless, by all parties work ing together, to make both ref them feel the advantage and the necessity for themselves, as well as for the public good, of avoiding all rupture and éclat, I hope that we shall get through it well. You will certainly make a workmanlike business of it if you write to both of them, which I believe it is neces sary you should do as soon as possible, particularly as regards Marshal Bugeaud, who ought to start for Algiers on the Ist day of September at the latest. General De la Rue will be here to-morrow, or soon after; and I am going to send him immediately to Soult Berg, as that is desired, and which is still more natural, as he is charged with the inspection of the gendarmerie du Tarn. I received your letters to-day, and I seed you yo ur letters hereto appended. I have signed the four ordon nances for the Cross for the Spaniard, and Duchatel sees to their being forwarded. He is also charged to order General Achard to repair to the Luxembourg until the King of Holland arrives there. I see nothing better that can be done as respects the contents of Bois-le-Comte's letter, than to preserve the most absolute secrecy about them, as he requires and I shall do it conscientiously. Time does not permit me (it is now one o'clock) to go into other numerous and very important affairs, with which we have been occu p ied together to-day. I hope your colleagues wil l supply my pla ce. There are many facts of which it is important you should be aware, and of which I fear you are now ignorant. I have impressed it upon them seriously. Bon soir, mon cher Ministre, LOUIS PHILLIPE. TO THE RING. Saturday, May 23, 1846, six o'clock. Sire-1 , h a ve to send your Majesty t o -d a y very b a d news from London, I shall go to-morrow before th e C oun cil meets to talk it over with the King. I suspect there is a great deal of exaggeration in what Bulwer says about the message from Lisbon, and probably some ma noeuvre affecting us in the message itself ; but at all events it is both grave and urgent. I communicated at once with Bresson by a tele grap hi c di spatch i n cipher. I am with the most profound respect, Sire, your Ma jesty's very humble and very faithful servant and subject, G UIZOT. TO THE XING. Wednesday, July 1, 1846. Sire,---It was in the summer of 1843 that we com menced acting confidentially at Naples to obtain from the .King of Naples the recognition of the Queen Isa bella. It was in November, 1845, that the King of Na ples made up his mind to accredit a minister to Madrid. The Prince Carini presented his credentials on the 14th of December, 1845. It was on the 15th or 16th of. February, 1844, that Queen Christina set nut from Paris for Madrid. It is only en this morning that I have been enabled to gather these particulars with precision. I have not spoken, and shall speak to no one, of the projected list for the Peers. I shall go this morning to present my respects to the Infant Don Henrique. I must beg of the King to have the goodness to excuse my dining to-day at Neuilly. I have arranged to give a dinner, at which, if the King will permit me, I am desirous to preside. I am, with the most profound respect, Sire, your Ma jesty's most humble and faithful servant and subject. GUIZOT. TRE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1848. TO THE KING. Tuesday morning, July 7, 1846. Sire,—General Narvacz had not arrived yesterday evening. When I shall be informed of his arrival I shall have the honour to acquaint the King of it. I think that if he arrives in time it will be useful to invite him to the spectacle at St. Cloud. Would the King have the goodness to cast his eyes over the note and documents hereto appended, which General P•elet has sent me. It would be very desirable to be able to do something of what he mentions. _ _ I have not wished to speak of it to the Minister•at War before knowing the King's opinion upon this re elinnation. I beg of the King to accept the homage of my pro found respect and most entire devotion. GUIZOT. TO THE KING. Val de Richer, Wednesday, 15th July, 1846. Sire, —Here is Bresson of my opinion, that our efforts ought to be directed towards the sons of Don Fran cisco de Paula. I shall impress this upon him. This will also engender an embarrassment. London for Don Enrique, we for the Duke of Cadiz. Always the same struggle between the Progressistas and the Moderados, and always the same patrons for both parties. It is quite evident that the Duke of Cadiz is the hest suited both for the Queen, for Spain, and for us. Ido not think, however, we should proposs him by name at London, ia pref,.rence to his brother. What we must propose at London as the common object of our sup port at Madrid, are the sons of Don Francisco de Paula. The Queen of Spain and her Government will select the one that best suits them. As long as the Mo derados are in power, and Queen Christina at Madrid, we can rely, if this combination is accepted, upon their selecting the Duke of Cadiz. If the Progressistas enter office they will select Don Enrique. We cannot avoid this risk. The question now is, whether without losing time we shall go straight to Lord Palmerston and propose to him a line of common action at Madrid to persuade the Queen of Spain and her Government to settle the ques tion of the marriage without delay in favour of one of the sons of Don Franciso de Paula, in favour of the one they prefer. lam inclined to regard this as the most efficacious expedient for cutting short the Cobourg in trigues and preventing Lord Palmerston from entering into it. It will be, on the contrary, very difficult for him to avoid accepting of the combination we propose, and for which England has always shown a predilec tion. Before writing to Jarnac, however, I shall wait for some indications from him on his first conversations with Lord Palmerston, and-of the disposition he finds him in. If we take this step, we must observe great care in remaining loyal in our attitude towards Naples for Trapani, and have an eye also to the possible chances of Mouton()lin for the future, in case 'the sons of Don Fran cisco should not succeed. We must not throw up any of the combinations of our principle, the descendants of Philippa V., so as to be always ready to adopt the one that is possible. We can very well make reserves in favour of Trapani and Muntenaolin, if they should have a chance. I beg of the King to send nit his advice and his instruc tions. I shall not write anything until I have received them. Here are two letters, from Lord Aberdeen and Sir R. Peel, which have oily a personal interest. I read them all the same to the King. I am, with the most profound respect, Sire, your Majesty's most humble and very faithful servant and subject, GUIZOT. THE CHARTISTS. Yesterday being Whit-Sunday, it was expected that a meeting would be held in Bishop Bonner's-fields prepa ratory to the grand demonstration which is announced to come off there to-day. The weather was invitingly fine, and the attractions of Vi ctor i a - par k are at t hi s holiday time sufficient of themselves to attract a great concourse of pr-ogle. From some mysterious cause, however, with which it is not unnatural to suppose that the proceedings of the previous Sunday had some con nexion, there was an unusually small show of persons in the fields and in the park yesterday, and the most per afetettempprt as op w riety m a a n d d e te order prevailed. Not the slightest get together a meeting, nor was there any indication over the wide space of the great storm which is expected to burst there to-day. Two field preachers, who occupy the ground every Sunday, appeared to have some difficulty in gathering their usual congregation of about 20 hearers ; and, altogether, nothing could be more unpromising for the cause of the would-be Revolutionists than the general tranquillity of the Bethnal-green district yesterday. About three o'clock some little excitement was produced by the presence of a large body of metropolitan police, who, having marched to occupy different stations in the neigh bourhood of the fields, scattered themselves from thence over the open space, evidently with the intention of pre venting any meeting from assembling. They seemed well prepared to effect this purpose, for many of the men carried by their sides a good serviceable-looking cutlass. This sight of the weapons was not lost upon the by standers, who did not attempt to offer the slightest ob struction or annoyance. To meet the anticipated demonstration of this day in a peremptory and decided manner, and to guard ef fectually the public peace thus again openly threatened, the authorities have caused the following placard to be posted up in the different thoroughfares of the metropolis: " NOTICE. " Whereas large meetings of persons calling them selves Chartists have lately been held in the open air, in and sear the metropolis, at which seditious and inflam matory speeches have been addressed to the persons there assembled, such meetings have created terror and alarm, and have caused serious disturbance of the public peace, and have led to acts of tumult, disorder, and vio lent resistance of the law. And whereas certain per.. sons styling themselves members of the Executive Com mittee of the Chartist Association have declared their intention to call together other large meetings in and near the metropolis, on Monday, June the 12th, whereby apprehension is entertained by the peaceable inhabitants of the metropolis that such meetings will be of the same dangerous character, and will lead to the disturb• ante of the public peace, notice is hereby given that such meetings are illegal, and that all necessary measures will be adopted to prevent any such meetings taking place; and all well .disposed persons &whereby cautioned not to attend, be present at, or take part in, any such meeting. "C. ROWAN, t Commissioners of Me- R. MAYNE, S tropolitan Police. "Saturday, Jul ) . 10, 1848. "Metropolitan Police-office, Whitehall." They have made the following arrangements with refe rence to Bishop Bonner's-fields, which it is expected will be the chief point of excitement to-day. A body of 1,500 men from the metropolitan police force, and 100 of the mounted police, will at an early hour occupy the the fields, under the immediate command of Captain Hay. He will prevent any meeting being held ; and if an attempt is made to address the mob, the speaker will immediately be taken into custody. For the more effec tual execution of these instructions a strong reserve of the police will be armed with cutlasses, as they were yes terday. Captain Hay's force will be supported by a squadron of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), stationed fur that purpose at Gardner's Barns, by a squadron of the Life Guards placed at the Eastern Counties Railway goods station, and by 600 of the Pensioners posted iu Bethnal-green workhouse. At the west end of London the police will be in re serve at their different stations to the number of 2,500, and will be in readiness to move at a moment's noti ce t o any point where their serviees may be required. They will be supported by four battalions of Guards, and by the 12th Lancers, who for that purpose have been re moved from Hounslow and stationed at Knightsbridge. The truncheons of the civil power will no doubt be found amply sufficient for the occ.tsion, backed as they will be by an immense body of special constables. To satisfy, however, the doubts and fears of the timid, we may state that the military force in the metropolis exceeds 10,000 men, and that the most complete and extensive prepara tions have been made by Government, not only to pro tect the great public establishments, but to strike a vigorous blow at all this mischievous agitation by at once suppressing the slightest attempt at a demonstration. While these judicious measures have been adopted by the Government, the heads of the Chartist body do not seem to have abandoned their intention of meeting in Bonner's-fields. The following circular was extensively circulated among them yesterday, and appeared in the Northern. Star, which is the organ of the party : "Fellow Countrymen !—The Ministry have placed a barrier between the people and the throne. There is now no hope of your memorial being presented by a de putation to the Queen. We have already declined send ing your memorial to the Home Secretary, a course which we think would be humiliating to us and insulting to you. We have decided upon holding a great demon stration in London, which we hope to be allowed to con duct in a peaceable and orderly manner. For the sake of our political prisoners wo shall use our utmost en deavours to secure a satisfactory termination to the pro ceedings on Bonner'-fields. We have seen our friend Ernest Jones in Newgate, and have the greatest satisfac tion in saying that we found hire firm, cheerful, and un flinching. Fussell, Sharpe, and Williams, however, we were not permitted to see. We have been this day engaged, and shall be constantly employed until a late hour of tonight, preparing thil, arranging ft de fence committee for the metropolis, and preparing tor the trials which commence to-morrow. Nothing shall be neglected on our parts, and we call upon the country at large to strengthen our hands in this important crisis, by every means in their power to maintain our sacred cause, and save our friends from the felon's fate. Or ganize, organize, and collect money for the defence fund. Defend our holy and time-honoured right of public meetings, to discuss grievances as we shall do. Respect property. Be not aggressors. Let not our cause be dis graced by riots, nor throw back your cause by even par tial outbreaks. Defend your liberties and lives like men, and whilst you keep the law on your side do not allow it to be broken over your heads. So long as we are at liberty we shall advise you prudently, firmly, and with that determination which a righteous cause alone can give. " We are faithfully yours, on behalf of the Executive, "P. M. M'DOUALL. `• JOHN M'CRAE." At a late hour on Saturday the secretaries of the Irish Confederate Clubs in the metropolis gave notice to the Members to attend the Chartist demonstration to-day. Whether the demonstration will be confined to Bon ner's-fields is a matter of some doubt, it being cur rently reported that meetings will also take place at other points of the metropolis. On all hands, however, the authorities are prepared to give these peace-breakers a hot reception, and they will be zealously supported by the great mass of the population. Even at Croydon, where a demonstration like that in Bethnal-green is ex pected to take place, ample precautions have been taken by the magistrates to maintai❑ public order. MANCHESTER. (From the Manchester Courier.) At a full meeting of the borough justices, held in the Town Hall this (Saturday) afternoon, it was resolved that the Chartist meeting, proposed to be held in Ste venson's-square, on Monday next, would be an illegal assemblage, and that it be not allowed to take place. A proclamation, in accordance with this resolution is being issued, of which the following is a copy:— " Whereas great alarm has been excited in the minds of the peaceable inhabitants of this borough by the fre quent and large assemblages of persons which have recently taken place, and complaints have been made to the Mayor that the business and lawful occupations of the inhabitants have been greatly hindered by such as semblages, and breaches of the peace, and much tumult have been occasioned thereby, and certain evil-disposed and seditious persons have expressed their intention, at various meetings and elsewhere, of arming themselves with weapons for the purpose of resisting the law and Government of the realm, and have attempted to excite others to the same nefarious acts; " And where as , a pu b lic meeting has been advertised to in a S t t ev e n whichs o n persons's- s quar e have eMon daybeen i next,in vited t e the t 12 th take of o attend in their thousand s , w hi ch meeting would, under e xisting circumstance s , b e hi ghly dangerous to the placeJtine , public peace and to the personal security of her Majesty's peaceable subjects, and be therefore illegal, whatever the avowed object of the meeting ; " Notice is hereby given, that the mayor and justices deem it their duty to prohibit the holding of such •and meeting ; all persons are hereby cautioned against attending, or being present at, any large assemblage, as they will bring themselves into peril, and incur the consequences of the measures which may be adopted for - the preservation of the public p ace. "ARMITAGE, Mayor, "Town-hall, Manchest er, June 9." SUNDAY EVENING. A Chartist camp meeting took place, as announced, this day at Blackstone Digo. The meeting was called for 12 o'clock, but it was hall-pa3t 1 before the pro ceedings commenced. Blackstone Edge is a portion of an extensive range of hills separating the counties of Lancashire and York shire, and situate about sixteen miles from Manchester, five miles from Rochdale, and ten miles from Halifax, and surrounded by a numerous manufacturing population. The early part of the morning was excessively wet, and this had a tendency materially to lessen the numbers attending the meeting, which at no period of the pro ceedings exceeded 6,000. Previous to dila commencement of the proceedings the people distributed themselves over the ground and began to eat their dinners, thereby presenting the aspect of a huge pic-nic party rather than of a meeting having a political object. A better conducted assemblage of working people has seldom been seen; many well-dressed women were present, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. The chair was taken by Mr. Tag;, a working man from Bacup, who called upon Mr. Shackleton, of Halifax, to move the first resolution:— " That the meeting having heard the declaration of Lord John Russell, that the people of this country do not want the People's Charter, throws back the false libel, and declares its firm conviction that no other measure of reform will serve the end sought, or meet with the sup port of the great body of the people, and pledges itself never to relax its efforts until the Charter becomes the law of the land." _ _ -.- Mr. G. J. CLARKE seconded the motion, and spoke at some length. Mr. G. WHITE, of Bradford, moved the second reso lution, which was seconded by Mr. ARCHDEACON. It was to the effect that the Whig Government was violating. - the constitution in attempting to suppress public opinion, and declared that the meeting would stand by the right of public meetin ,, at all hazards. He exhorted those present to exercise their undoubted right of procuring arms, and said the system would never be altered until they could compel it by force. At this stage of the proceedings a collection was made to defray expenses. Mr. WEBSTER, of Halifax, moved the third resolution, which was seconded by Mr. DONOVAN, of Manchester. It condemned the prosecutions instituted by the Whig Government as vindictive and disgraceful. The mover 'a speech was of a very inflammatory character, but that of the seconder presented a striking contrast to that of the mover, whose physical-force sentiments were but coldly received. The next resolution was one of condolence with Mrs. Mitchel, moved by Mr. RonEnTs in a very tedious speech, and seconded Mr. LEECH, of Manchester, in a comparatively moderate manner. This closed the proceedings. _ ljpolice-officer from Bradford, disguised as a drover, was during the meeting somewhat roughly bundled, and had to take refuge in a stable. It required all Mr. White's exertions to save him from further outrage. The few police present in plain clothes were unnoticed and uncared for, but the indignation of the people was roused by the man attempting to appear what he really was not. With this exception, the meeting was of the most orderly character. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. A Chartist meeting was held at two o'clock to-day on the sea-beach, near Bootle, to take the opinion of the inhabitants on Lord John Russell's declaration that the people do not want reform; also to enter a protest against the sentence of Mr. Mitchel. Precautions were taken by the magistrates, which were luckily not necessary. The number assembled amounted to about 3,000. Dr. Reynolds arrived from Manchester and was received with cheers. Mr. W. 31‘14,,an presided. Mr. T. Jones made a violent speech, calling Lord J. Russell a liar, and designating the Government a horde of brigand ruffians and assassins. A collection was made for the defence of the London Chartist leaders. Mr. H. Smith, the secretary, Dr. Reynolds, and Mr. G. Lloyd, were amongst the speakers. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting quietly dispersed, but another was announced for Monday. GLASGOW, SUNDAY. A Chartist meeting was held here this afternoon. About 5,000 or 6,000 persons were present. Speeches of the usual character were delivered, and resolutions approving of the People's Charter, and condemnatory of the sentence of John Mitchel, were adopted; though the authorities of the city did not prohibit the meeting, 600 police were stationed in front of the platform, a display which exceedingly annoyed the various orators, but had the effect of preventing any breach of the peace. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Clark and James Henry Bradbury, who have been several times examined upon charges of forgery of cheques upon Sir William Lubbock's and Messrs. Dixon's banking-houses, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bushe and Muliens, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Won tner appeared for the prisoners. The following was the evidence produced, in addi tion to that which was brought forward to prove that they.uttered the cheques through the unconscious in strumentality of persons who advertised for places as servants : Jean Godefroid Hillinberg said (by an interpreter)-- lam a commissary of police at Brussels. On Tues • day, the 25th of April, 1818. I went to the station of the Northern Railway at Brussels. The prisoners Clarke and Bradbury came to the office, and took two tickets for Ostend. asked them for their papers. They said they had none, and then I asked them to accompany me to the police-station. They then gave the names of John Clarke and James Henry Brad bury. Clarke said he was a native of England, thirty two years of age, and that he resided at London, but he could not tell either the number or the name of the street. He then produced an irregular passport, granted in London by the Dutch Ambassador on the 13th of August, 1847, available only for six months, and only good for the Netherlands and Germany. Bradbury said he had no papers; that he was of no profession ; was 38 years of age; was born in Eng land, and resided in London, at Montagu-street, Russell-square. They both said they were gentle men. I asked whether they had changed several bank-notes in Brussels at divers money changers, and that in the course of twenty-four hours. Bradbury declared that he had only changed two notes, and that being in want of money to pay away, be had been obliged to have recourse to changing the notes. I asked him to show me the money. lle refused ; but after I showed him my authority, he drew from his pcket a linen bag, which con t a i ned 100 sovereigns and 4CO francs in five-franc pieces. I told him that this money was not equi va l ent to what he must have received in exchang e f or t h e two notes. After some hesitation Bradbury declared that he had paid 751. to Clarke, who denied that he had received such a sum, but, on being pressed, admitted that such was the case ; but he said the money was his own, that he wouldrather die than p a rt with it, that he would not give it up, and that it would be impossible fur tis to prove th a t it came f rom an y other than a legitimate source. I then took from Clarke a.bag containing notes and specie to the amount of 15,446 t. I asked Clarke how he became possessed of that money, and he repli e d t h at he had rece i ve d about 8001 . of his banker i n L on d on, b ut he did no t know where he lived. Mr. M ullens — Did you fi n d any thi ng remar k a bl e u p on Clarke's person ? Witnes s —l f o und in the pocket of his coat a ba g containing a pair of whiskers and a pair of spe ctacl es. I made him take off his clothes, and foun d in th e inside of his flannel waistcoat a small pocket. It contained a piece of paper, in which were fblded two Bank of England notes, one of them for 1001. (No. 24,181), and the other for 501. (No. 4,253). I questioned him respecting those notes, and he said he had been once robbed at Edin burgh, and ever afterwards he had secreted his bank notes in that manner. Alderman FINNIS — What account did Bradbury give about changing the notes ? Witness—He said he was a gambler, and continually required geld and notes. He told me that he had left London on the previous Saturday, that he had travelled only for pleasure, and that he had stayed two days at Ostend, and only arrived at Brussels the day before. I asked him how long he had known Clarke, and he said, no longer than you knew him; and he then said he would not answer any more questions, as they were troublesome to him, and he concluded by stating that we (the police) had not hin g to do with him. Alderman FINNIS —Did y ou make an y in quiry re specting the false w hiskers ? Witness—l asked Clarke about the false whiskers, and he said he merely put them on to terrify children. I asked him where he and Bradbury were going, and he said they were going to Antwerp. I had previously heard them ask for tickets for the railway to Ostend, and I afterwards found one of the tickets concealed under Clarke's wig. Clarke, it appears, wore an admirably constructed wit.r, which had a variety of little pockets or compart ments, in which bank-notes and other valuables could be deposited. It was not stated in evidence, but it was inciden tally mentioned in the course of the examination, that the continental authorities, upon the ground of im. perfect passports, thought proper to ship the prisoners on board a vessel about to sail for England, and that by some means John Forrester, having ascertained that they were obliged to leave their place of refuge, got on board the same ve ssel, and as soon as she sailed captured them. The following is Forrester's evidence:—On the 7th of May I took the prisoners into custody on board the Soho steamer, on the voyage from Antwerp to Lo'ndon. I have made inquiries for Yardley-street, King s -road, Ch Ina, but no such street is to be found, nor does any such person as the prisoner Bradbury live in Montagu-street, Russell-square. When I searched Clarke I round 27 gold pieces value twenty francs each, two gold pieces value ten francs each, sixteen notes, viz., ten of 100 francs each, live of fifty francs each, and one of twenty francs. On the person of Bradbury I found seven gold pieces value f or t y f rancs eac h, three gold double Fredric d'Ors, e l even go ld p i eces of ten guilders, and one gold piece of tw e nt y f rancs . Alderman FINNIS, the evidence having been con cluded, committed the prisoners to Newgate for trial at the Central Criminal Gaud. A great number of tradesmen were present during the investigation. BOW-STREET. ANOTHER CHARTIST LEADER. Francis Looney, secretary of the " Davis Club," was on Saturday placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, on a war rant charging him with delivering a seditious speech on the sth of June, at the Chartist Assembly Rooms, in Dean-street, Soho. There was, however, another charge against him—that of delivering a seditious speech on the same day at the Chartist Hall, Webber-street, Blackfriars road, which charge was first entered into. Mr. Hayward, solicitor to the Treasury, attended for the prosecution. After a very lengthened examination, Mr. HENRY committed the prisoner for trial, ordering him to find bail in two sureties of 1001. each, and enter into his own recognizanees for 2001. The second chlirgti on which the prisoner had been taken was then entered into. It was for delivering a seditious speech, at the Chartist Assembly and Reading Rooms in Dean-street, Soho, when Mr. HENRY said he should commit the prisoner for trial, and would require bail in two sureties of 1001. each, and his own recognizances of 2001. on this case also.—The prisoner was then removed. REJECTION OF ERNEST JONES'S BAIL. The three persons, of whose names notice had been given on Friday as bad for Mr. Ernest Jones, attended before Mr. Henry immediately on the conclusion of the above case. The first, Mr. John Sewell, was not objected to on the part of the prosecution. The second, a Mr. Bloomfield, a builder in the Mile end•road, returned very unsatisfactory answers to the questions put to him by Mr. Hayward. He had paid no rent for six months, and neither income nor assessed taxes for twelve months, as far as he knew. They might have been paid without his knowledge. He did not bring his receipts, because he did not receive nutice to do so. He swore that. Sergeant Ketnble, of the detective force, proved that he gave Mr. Bloomfield notice.----Bail rejected. The third person was then brought forward. His name was Munal. He said he had leasehold property on which he could raise 2501., but admitted that it was only by the sale of those leases he could meet two bills, now nearly due, for 1001. each. Mr. HENRY rejected this bail also, and observed that one bail could not be admitted singly, and therefore Mr. Sewell was also rejected. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Frederick Mcdlazn, manager of Aldridge's Reposi tory, in St. Martin's-lane, was summoned for wan tonly and cruelly ill-treating a mare, the property of Mr. Halsey, M.P. Mr. Thomas, secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was present to prosecute. _ _ _ It appeared that Mr. Halsey sent a mare to Mr. Aldridge 's stables for sale. The morning before the public sale came on the mare was found to have bee a very severely whipped. These violent marks would, of course, very much depreciate the price of the mare in the eyes of a large portion of the buyers. The discovery was made on Wednesday morning by Wm. Morgan, Mr. Halsey's groom, who found the mare wealed from her hind quarters down to the hocks, and the skin broken on the near hind leg. He went to the defendant and asked an explanation, when the defendant asked what was the matter, and on being told that the mare had been violently beaten, replied, " Well, I know that—l did it myself." Mr. Sylvester, veterinary surgeon, who had known the mare ever since she was foaled, said she was a very quiet animal in the stable. He saw the whip marks on the quarters, just before the animal was brought out for sale. The defendant said he found the mare kicking, and he used his whip, but not to hurt the animal. He was fined forty shillings, or fourteen days' im prisonment. CLERKENWELL. Three men, named Brien, Vigo, and Conner, were put at the bar for examination before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged with committing a violent assault on police constable Haines, No. 155 G. The prisoners were remanded from this court on Monday last, in conse quence of the prosecutor being then in too dangerous a condition to give the necessary evidence. The pro secution is conducted by the Treasury, while the interest of the prisoners is watched over by Mr. Sid ney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden. On Sunday morning last, about the hour of nine, the prisoner and several other persons assembled in Golden-lane, St. Luke's, and commenced hurrahing for " Mitchel and Ireland," and calling out " Down with the police," at the same time assaulting every one that passed, who would not join in the rioting. A complaint of the rioting having reached the ears of the officer Haines, from a gentleman who had been grossly ill-treated by them, he hastened to the spot, and Brien being pointed out as the party who had cotntnitted the latter outrage, he apprehended him, when he was immediately beset by the mob, but more violently by the prisoners, by whom he was knocked down, kicked, dragged about, and eventually his left eye was " gouged" from the socket. His cries of murder brought to his assistance a number of the shopkeepers of the neighbourhood, and Sergeant White and other constables, who, after much diffi culty and risk, rescued the unfortunate complainant. Mr. TYRWIIITT thanked the tradesmen who had assisted, and said the public were much indebted to them. Mr. Ward, one of the witnesses, remarked that it was next to a miracle that Haines escaped with his life. Mr. TTRWEIITT asked that officer if he was still under the care of a medical man ?—The poor fellow, whose head was bound up, said he was, and expected to be so for some time, as he was suffering severely from contusions and bruises on various parts of the body. The prisoners, who was Advised by Mr. Sidney to reserve their defence, were then fully committed to Newgate for trial.

The unfortunate soldier fell to the ground, and it was after. wards found his jawbone was broken. His comrade immediately ran his bayonet into the body of the deserter. A policeman interfered, and was about taking the soldier into custody, when he received a hint that it he did not keep his distance he would also be treated to several inches of cold steel—a treat which he appreciated. — Liverpool Chronicle.

A NEW AFRICAN DRUG.—The following is one of the 234 resolutions which Lord George Bentinck pro posed for the adoption of the committee on sugar and coffee planting:—" That the ncgresses, from the circum stances of the great preference for men, and the almost exclusive demand during a long period of years for men by the regular slave-dealers, very much outnumber the negroes, and consequently glutting, are a cheap drug in the African markets !" THE BINGLEY RIOTERS. —On Monday last James Bland, hanker, and a special constable, who was one of the leaders of the mob who rescued the prisoners from, and assaulted, the constables, was apprehended and taken betore Mr. Ferrand. He was liberated on bail b. ing entered into in a surety of 2001. for himself, and in two bondsmen of 2001. each. Another leader of the name of Whitfield, who represented the Bingley and Keighley Chartists in the " National Assembly, and who solemnly pledged himself to his deluded and plun dered followers that he would never desert them, has absconded from the neighbourhood, and is reported to have fled to America. The town is now perfectly quiet, and the working men of Keiehley are conducting them selves in the most praiseworthy manner. CANARIES.—The gentleman who, last year, reared canaries in a state of freedom, has this year succeeded in rearing two broods of these birds in nests built in his garden—one of them in a cyprus tree, having three young ones, the hen having been reared in the open air in July 1846, since which time she has been generally free to fly about at pleasure. Another nest was built in a magnolia by a hen, tree from the time of her birth (in May 1846), which contained two young birds, hatched on the 15th of April last. The old birds and the young ones also (with the exception of one that disappeared) continue their flight about the grounds, coming in to feed. Each hen has now a second brood, one consisting of four and the other of three young birds, which are expected to take flight in a few days. FILTH AND FEVER.--A medical practitioner makes, recently, a report to the registrar of his district, that " the fatal cases of fever which have fallen under his observation have all occurred in Louses exceedingly de ficient in drainage and ventilation." This statement re ceives strong confirmation from the fact, that a fatal and prevalent fever has of late existed in Westminster, in connexion with an unusually fetid state of the atmo sphere, created by alluvia from drains. At the present moment many families (and especi a lly children) are affected with low fever, attributable to this cause.

We have taken a position there which becomes strongerevery day, and which we shall turn to advantage on many occasions. I also should have much preferred it, if St. Aulairo had not broached Spain with Lord John and Lord Palmerston, who did not mention the subject to him. Tact is a rare quality. I am, however, very glad that Lord John has had this occasion of showing himself from the very first more unreserved towards us than Lord Palmerston. It will require no small skill to speak to the one on foreign affairs without ruffling the other. However, this cannot be helped at times. If the Ring finds anything worthy of remark in the leading articles of the Spanish journals which Bresson sends me, I beg of him to acquaint me of it. It is essential that this polemic should be well conducted. It is very kind of the Ring to take so much interest in and enjoy gly. I am, with the most profound respect, Sire, of your Majesty the most humble and very faithful servant and subject, GULZOT. TO THE VINO. Val Richer, Sunday, July 19, 1846 Sire,—Here are letters from Bresson a n d .1 a a . „ which will please the King. He will see that we r are , progressing at Madrid and at London, and in the right p a th. He will also perceive that I had already spoken to Bresson about Narvaez,,and that it was desirable that the latter should return to Madrid. I shall mention the' subject again to-morrow, but I think Bressou should be allowed to choose his own time and opportunity. We had two objects in view ; one was to convince Narvaez of the good intentions of the King and of his Government towards him, the other that he should understand well the King's views in the marriage question, especially as regards the Duke of Cadiz, and that he should promise to act for us in that sense. Both of these objects have been obtained. We must now take care not to alarm (effarou cher) too much Chris tina and her Cabinet, or London, where the sudden return of Narvaez will not be relished, as it is too evi dent that we are the cause of it. I think it would be as well for him to be at Madrid before the opening - of the Cortes a reconciliation will then be necessary between him and Mon ; for I persist in the opinion that a good understanding between these two men is necessary to have anything like a Government in Spain. But to in sure success, it is necessary that these matters should appear to happen naturally, and that we should not seem to be running after them. I shall tell Narvaea something which shall keep up his patience. In sooth he amuses himselt at Paris, and he will willingly remain two or three weeks longer. I have a person near him who arrived from Bayonne almost at the same time he did, and who sees him every day. As regards Queen Christina, I think it will be as well to leave her a little in peace, making her advance de bonne grace in the path in which we made her enter by a well•directed stratagem. JlFne'c's letter indicates that Lord Palmerston has in tention s which are vaguely good and timid enough. It is; the timidity which pleases me. He is completely sqrrJunded by persons who watch him, and endeavour to hold him back—Lord John, the Duke of Bedford, Lord Lansdowne, even his wife. Provided he does not ge't angry at last and turn upon his dugenes, there will scarcely be more than a marriage de raison between us and him, but even there we may make bon ménage. I am writing to London, Madrid, and Naples, as agreed. The cruise of Monseigneur the Prince de Joinville in the Mediterranean seems to me an excellent idea. I am rejoiced to hear that Monseigneur the Duke of Aumale is returned satisfied, and in good health, from Algeria. The appearance before Tunis has had a good effect. I trust that the King has found time at last to write to Queen Victoria. I regret much to hav e t o a dd to the King's already weighty correspondence, but I stood, really in great need of rest, and I shall want all my energies for next campaign. I entertain good hopes of the elections, but they are victories whi c h p re f ace balttlarnes., Sire, with the most profound, o f y our M a j esty ' s , the most humble and most faithful servant end si . ihject, GUIZOT. , 17a 0 "" 11, 4 i o'g
