That I am not going to de tail, for I have no gift that' way; but I may re mark upon a few particular facts. From what I learned, the speakers paired off as they pair rabbits, fat and lean; that is, in order to avoid any particular appearance of politics, they came alternately, Whig and Tory. The mere matter of-fact talkers were heard very patiently; but about the time that Lord Worsley thought pro per to address the meeting some few of the me chanics of Lincoln had strayed into the Castle yard, during their dinner hour, and not being sa tisfied thk all should go off without some op position, for want of a leader to advocate their cause, raised a cry of " cheap sugar." Lord Worsley is popular with them ; and still, by his good humour, he was heard patiently without any great interreption.

Perhaps it was indiscreet in a few operatives ' of Lincoln to be interrupting a county meeting with their few words of disapprobation ! But these valiant agri cultural heroes fell foul of every body that did not seem to be of their own class, and most savagely and cruelly beat with their hooked. sticks and their heavy whip-handles, many inoffensive parties, who had taken no part whatever in th e proceedings. Not more than forty or fifty persons had trade the slightest ex pression of any opinion, even that of holding up a hand; but these valiant heroes, armed with bludgeons and with heavy whips, beat out of the Castle-yard some hundreds of inoffensive people, half-starved mechanics, and apprentice boys, while Magistrates of the, county were not only looking on, but actually applauding, from their places on the hustings. However, it is to be hoped that this most abominable outrage will not pass unnoticed. I was told that one gentleman, who stood near, but outside of the crowd, was the Town Clerk .of the City of Lincoln, and I am quite sure that the gentleman in question, whoever he was, by his kind interference prevented more than one poor fellow- from. being savagely beaten.

She was then taken to her home in King-street, Commercial-road, and frequently afterwards was beard to say that the injury done her by her fall would hasten her death. Eventually she took to her bed, in which on Wednesday morning iast she was found dead by one of her unfortunate companions. Mr. Salter, a surgeon, who had opened the body, said that the abdominal muscles and intes tines were much inflamed, sufficiently so as to cause death ; and he w as eertanly of opinion that it was accelerated by the injuries deceased had received from the fall.

' THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1841. THE LEVANT MAIL. The French Government steamer Mentor, arrived at Marseilles on the 21st inst., has brought the Levant mail. The dates from Constantinople are of the 7th inst.; Alexandria the 6th, Smyrna the 9th, Candia the 3d, Athens the 10th, and Malta the 15th. • TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 7.—The Consuls of the European Powers who were about to proceed to Alexandria, and who e departure, indaed, should have taken place last Wednesday, a Russian steamer having been provided for them, have, in con sequence of instructions just received by Mon. Lauran, the Austrian Consul, from Prince Metternich, been detained for an indefinite period at Constantinople. The reasons that have oc curred for this delay are not very well known. It is generally thought that the Four Powers will again interfere to settle the relations between the Sultan and his vassal, while sonic assert that Prince Metternich has issued these orders e.n having discovered that 'Mehemet Ali had been chiefly in strumental in exciting the present troubles in Rournelia. But an examination of dates renders this supposition highly improbable. The Porte, in the meanwhile, has begun once more to conceive the most flattering hopes. • It requires little to raise or depress the spirits of a Government so weak and ignorant as this to the most extravagant pitch. At this moment, forgetful apparently of the dangers and disorders reigning on every side of them, they talk of nothing less than another expedition against Mehemet Ali, whom they are now of minion they could cope with single-handed when they please. It is bat fair to add, however, that their presumption receives abundant encouragement from the desperate counsels of Euro pean advisers, both milltary and diplomatic. Their only ra• tional hope of success in attacking Egypt must be in the revol of the inhabitants—a contingency, I should think, by nn means to be depended upon. These protects, a:ter all, are at. present but in embryo, and quite extra-official, since, in the following note recently addressed to the Ambassadors of the four Powers, in reply to that by which they leave the arrangement of details in the settlement of the Egyptian queeti..n to the Sultan, hi, Highness, in a similar spii it of uabounded confidence and dis interesta dness, again refers the matter to the wisdom of h: allies. The following is the note in question:— " His Htg'r,ees the Sultan, taking into consideration the friendly counsel which hai again teen given to him by the high allied Courts, has been pleased to grant a new favour to Mehemet Ali Pacha, in condescending to grant ta him, ac cording to his last request, the concessions hereafter indicateit, on condition, however, that he shall religiously observe all the conventions and treaties which have been concluded, or may be concluded hereafter, between the Sublime Porte and the friend': . . Powers. 'thus the hereditary Government of Egypt shall be transmitted to the sons and male descendants of the Pacha, but in such a way that the oldest of them shall always emceed to the post of Governor, and receive his investiture from the Sublime Porte whenever the post shall become vacant. The Sultan re nounces the intention of taking a quarter of the revenues 0 Egypt, and the tribute to be paid shall be ulteriorly fixed and regulated, both as to the amount and the mode cf collewion aecording to the actual revenues of the proricce. As re gards the nominations to the different ranks of the army cat Egypt, Mehemet Ali Pacha is authorised to confer them him self up to the rank of colonel. For all others he is first to have_ the approbation of the Porte. With respect to the internal system of government to be adopted in Egypt, as in a'l th other countries of the Ottoman Emp re, as Mehemet Ati Pach. in his above-mentioned application does not :open- disposed to adopt it frankly, and as this e oint has alreaeiy been deeideo upon in the separate act of the treaty of the alliance,in order that the Allied Po eers may have no cause of complaint against the Sublime Porte, in the event of Mehemet Ali proceeding even tually to acts contrary to an essential point founded on this' treaty, the Ministers of the Sublime Porte have considered it very important in this state of things to require at once preci e decilaratisns and explanations on this subject. and it is. for tie purpose of requesting your Excellency to give them on you: part in writing that this memorandum is addre,sed to you." Another note was yesterday presented to the Ministers o Foreign Powers, informing them cf the suppression of ile disturbances on the Irontie re of Seriia. Particulars of eh. had taken place in that quarter had already reach'cl us will the Austrian mail from Vienna, which, with that of the pre ceding week, arrived here under strong military escort three days ago. Osman Pacha of Niss, had taken prompt and vigo rous measures—attacked, sacked, and destroyed four village of the insurgent Bulgarians, three hundred of whose head are now hoisted in terrorem round the walls of Ni,sa, are whose waves and children have been sold into slavery. Suel is the Mussulman law ; and it has in this instance been rigo rously e nforeed. Self- preserratien peremptorily dictate. (though it may, perhaps, not' justify) these horrors to tie Turks. Their numbers are comparatively so few in the pro vinees of European Turkey that were the Raya populatio• once to throw off their authority they would run a fair chanc of being maesacred to a man. About six thousand Bulgarian have taken refuge in Scrvia, and are said to be at Alexanitza Much anarchy still prevails in Albania, and throughout th provinces to the south of Turkey in Europe, the ancient Ma cedonia, Thessaly, and Epirus. Some important changes have been resolved upon in the ju dicial and financial administration, as established by the tanzimat khairie, or the hatti scheriff of Gulhane. The lima and municipal councils are summarily abolished, and the mou has'ils, or tax-collectors, will be everywhere withdrawn. A single deftar-dar, or treasurer, will act in concert with th Pacha of each district for the future collection of the revenue. As a temporary expedient the Government has determined or a fresh issue of paper money, about one hundred thousaee pounds, or ten millions of piastres. The dangerous facility b : which money can be thus. obtained seems pregnant with future tEsaster to the empire. A new terdjchat, or list of appointments, has made its ap pearance this week. The friends of Resehid have been com pelled to make room for the new Ministry. The appointment: are ten in number, three of them to the most considerabl Pacha!ics of the empire, Aidin, Angora, and Khodavenkiar The last of them, including the rich district of Broussa, has been reserved for himself by Riza Pacha. He will govern i: by deputy, adding the emoluments of the office to those o General or the Imperial Guard and Grand Chamberlain. Tahir Pacha was to have left yesterday for Candia in steamer, but is not yet gone The blockading squadron, whirl has been reduced to the number of ships originally intended u go, viz., a line-of battle ship, a frigate, and some corvettes and having about three thousand troops on board, set sail a ft \ 1 days ago. A reinforcement of three thousand men will els. co-operate with them from Syria, and it is expected that Tahii Pacha will proceed to act with the utmost severity against the rebels. Yesterday, General Jochmus, Major Hermann, and Colone Bovill were presented to the Sultan by Riza Pacha. His Highness received them in the most gracious manner, and or dered that they should be shown the different palaces, and other sights about Constantinople. By a courier that arrived from England on Sunday last, Air. Bankhead, our Secretary of Embassy here, has received his promotion to the rank of Plenipotentiary. This looks as if Lord Ponsonby, were expected to leave. The Oriental Observer contains the following from Con stantinople of the 7th instant:— "On the Ist 11. Le Comte de Pentois celebrated the fete of Louis Philippe. A Chamberlain of the Palace, attended by the Dragoman of the Porte, went to compliment the Count on behalf of the Sultan. All the foreign Ambassadors and chiefs of missions quickly fellowed, and it was noticed that the reception given to Lord Ponsonby was most particularly distin guished. In the evening the hotel of M. Pontois was illumi nated, and he gave a grand dinner to the French commercial body ; the evening following was dedicated to a second illumi nation and :neither dinner to such Frenchmen as are not of the mercantile ekes. The French Ambassador does the honours nobly on such occasions. On the 2d Lord Ponsonby received de spatches from London by a messenger, who, to avoid the disturb.• ed districts, cameround by Widin. Two Vienna posts, whose bearers have not adopted this plan, are in arrear. The expe dition for Candle has sailed, consisting, we hear, of only five ships of war (the largest of which is the Nizamiye frigate, bearing the flag of Tahir Pacha), and a number of merchant vessels engaged as transports for the conveyance of troops. Tales. Pacha, who is still here, will follow in a steamer, and Friday next is mentioned as the day fixed for his departure• With respect to the state of affairs in that islarid, it is well known that the Greeks continue to foment discord there. On complaints being made to that effect, the Ministers of King Otho did not even attempt to disprove it, which appears to be pretty conclusive evidence that they are" no strangers to the insurrection, more particularly as they cannot deny that they had full knowledge of the armed boats which de parted openly from their own ports for tine avowed purpose of exait:ng the iahabitants of CanCia to revolt. The object o' this movement, connected as. it is with other disturbances in Epirus, Macedonia, and Thessaly, it is not dlfficult to com prehend. On Saturday last the fine Austrian steamer Stam boul, on her passage Irons Constantinople to Trebisonde, with passengers, groups, and ca-go, was overtaken by a thick f og , and, bing near the coast, it is supposed she was imperceptib! borne by a current towards the land. Be that as it may, be fore the danger of her position became evident, she ran on s rock near Amastra. Being a boat of great speed, her velo city threw her prow high in the air whilst the after cabin was in a short time filled with water. No lives were, we believe, lost. The Metternich, another steamer of the same Company, passing soon after on her day from Trebisonde to Constanti nople, took from the wreck all the passengers, and on Monday the Crescent and Levant steamers also belonging to the con cern, were despatched to endeavour to get the Stambou' cif. It is hoped she will be raved without serious injury as she is deservedly a great favourite with the public. Yester day was the Mevludi Schetiff, birth-trey of the Prophet, and was celebrated with great pomp. The evening before there was a grand illumination. The Sultan went in state to the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, which he ent'eted about eleven o'clock, immed;ately after which the prayers appropriate to the occasion were read. The service continued ti I one o'clock, when the procession returned. The weather being most beau tiful there was au immense concourse. All the Pashas ap peared in trew uteiforms of the most splendid deecription. IS e regret to hare to record the deaths of Colonel Bridgeman, who was in command of the British detachment at Eeyrout. His loss is much lamented. He will be succeeded, we hear, by Lieutenant-Colonel Rose, an officer of the I , 4lest possible promise. The greatest cordiality and most complete unity of views exist between the British officers and the Ottoman commanders in Syria. We understand that our officers have, at the desire of the Government, undertaken to instruct the Turkish troops in certain branches of military service with which they were previously unacquainted. The medical department also requires organization. The deaths at a military hospital were lately to a frightful extent; and upon inquiry as to the cause, no epidemic reigning at the time, it was discovered that. seven or eight of the doctors could neither read nor write ! It will be remembered that, last year, when the Ottoman troops were sent to Syria by sea, the militia of Kutahia Cara-Hisar rose against their chiefs soon after quit ting the Dardanelles, and obliged the captains of the transports to put back. The deserters were taken, and the whole have now been tried by the Military C;sece, which in its sentence against them has divided them into five classes :—One Lieutenant and four rank and file, who according to martial law should have been shot, have been sen tenced to the galleys for life. 2. Forty-two rants and file to the gallees for life. 3. fifty-nine rank and file five years com mon labour in their barracks. 4. Four hundred and seventy eight rank and file, who ran, to receive each 150 stripes, and be drafted into the troops of the line. 5. One hundred and th y-six sergeants, one hundred and thirty-five corporals, and 1,224 rank and file, who manifested a determination to desert, although they had no opportunity of executing their design, are to be enrolled in the troops of the line, the sergeants and corporal s b e i ng re d uced to the ranks. Of the officers who were at 13eyrout, and most of whom fought, 20 who behaved will are traroterrecl to the troops of the line, retaining their rank ; the decorations cf the remainder have been taken from them, and they will be sent home disgraced, whilst such officers and men as endeavoured to oppose the mutiny and w ere wounded, are recompensed, and have perinission to go home or enter the re gular army at their option, the officers with their former rank, and the men as corporals." lA.

The French steamer Acheron, and a sailing ve-sel from Alexandria, had landed at Beyrout a number of French capuchins and other friars and priests, with a million of francs its specie. The mountaineers are getting troub'e some, and in some respects their complaints are not without just cause, for the Padres of distriCts, in spite ,of the hatti seheriff, ere oppress:ng them with taxations and imposts be yond their means. Colonel Rose and Colonel Arbuthnot have niasle several remonstrances on the subject to the Paella of Beyrout. The Governor of Tyre, who has been committing excesses upon Christian women, has been superseded by a Turkish officer, sent from Beyrout. Colonel Alderson is encamped under Mount Carmel, with the British sappers, miners, and a party of artillery. Assistant-Surgeon Acton, left behind from the Hecate steam-frigate, has received orders from the senior naval officer its Syria, Captain Pring, of the Inconstant, to proceed to this encampment, end take charge of any sick there may he. Colonel M'Niven has pro ceed, dto Naplouce. The British troops in Syria are generally healthy, and getting fat from want of work. All communi eation.with the inhabitants is prohibited, owing to the plague. At Beyreut the town is free from it, but there have been cases all along the coast en the cordon, and within the lazaretto. In the country it is making frightful ravages. At St. Jean d'Acre there are as many as twenty deaths daily • at WEI, from four to six. A nominal quarantine is establiled, but it is truly ridiculous, for a sheep, turkey, or Spanish dollar, will buy up any of the sanita officers. On arrivals from Alexandria, where the plague is very bad indeed, they 'onry impose a qua rantine .of fifteen days ! Yellow fever is ales prevalent in Egypt to a fearful extent." Tries aMyrna Papers to the 9th inst. - have been received. The suhj ined is from the Orientdf Observer : " On Friday last, whilst empleyed aloft on the ship's duty, Mr. C. Lloyd, a midshipman of the Daphne, fell from the yard-arm on to the rail of the ship, ant thence into the sea. He was taken up immediately by a tailor who jumped after him, when his skull was found to be dreadfully fractured, and death terminated his sufferings in about an hour This is the ~, e eend fatal accident which has happened on board this vessel during the short period that she has been on station in our roads. On the Ist,_ the birth-day of his Majesty the King of the French was celebrated in this city. At 8, A. 31., the Fre neh beg Alcibiade and the Austrian division under Admi ral Bareliera, fired twenty: one guns, and were, with the Engish corvette Daphne, decked out in all their colours. At nscre the salute was repeated, the Daphne also juicing, and at sue-set a similar cereasocy was performed by .the Alcibiade. M. Devoise, French Consul here pro tem., united at his hotel the different employes and the mer cantile community, whence they proceeded to the pai ish church to ec!ebratc mass in henour ..of the occasion. In the evening a dinner was given at the, Consu'ar hotel to a select patty of invited guests. Her B, itannie Maj , sty's corvette Dido arrived here from Candia cn the 3d, after a, delightful passage of only three days. The news shs brings is unfavour able to the trarquillity of that islaheL No engagement had, however, as yet taken place. The Daphne select on the sth for Malta, to join the Admiral, haring been relieved here by the Dietz.. The Hazard, which was appointed to this 'station, has proceeded to Malta to repair." EGYPT. ALLXANDIVA, MAY 6.—The plaeue at Alexandria has rather increased ; the report reaches to twenty-six cases a day. A. good deal of excitement has been created by two or three Frank inhabitants having been carried off by the plague. -They were eminent quarantine people ; and one of then was quite an authority en that subject. A man echo accompanied a party of passengers frt.m Cairo was . taken unwell on the Nile, but corAinued wi h them till hey were embarked, and actually carried a chill to the boat at the embarkation. He died of plague in the European pi'al next day. One sai'or died on board sif p in the har bour, which alarmed the shippers, and about a di.zen suspected cases have been sent to the hospital, where there have been kis(' some real cases. The European hospit.:l has the advan tage of an English surgeon of ability. Those passengers who arrived in Alexandria too late for the Liverpool are waiting for the Oriental, the French steamers refusing to take them. Mehemet Ali is preparing another State paper, of which tluhib Said Effendi (the Turkish Envoy) is to be the barer, istensibly declaring his entire submission, and (it. is believed) wish the private aim of driving as hard a bargain as possible respecting the amount of the tribute, and e appointment of his own administrators of finance, commerce, agriculture, &c. tie visited the Gorgon steamer on the Ist inst. at ten minutes' notice (on washing Saturday too), as if he wished to take :he English at the greatest disadvantage ; but though he :elected washing-day, and followed his messenger so quickly that the officers had not time to dress to receive him, he found all ready in the way of work, and put then through their exercise without much ceremony. He wou'd not 'relieve that they could fire their 32-pounders thrice a' ninute until he stood by and noted it. The 141-inch yaixhans .‘ere also fired with bollow shot- aid shell, and the crew put through every evolution in his presence, and a crowd of Turk and French officers whom' he brought to "see what the English could do." lie was very sparing in his encomiums, as if determined to proceed on the system of nil admirari, but on entering the Captain's cabin he cowl 1 not forbear ex " laa, these English Captains hive always books on their shelves; mine have only pipes ! " The next morning he .nspected the Pharos and principal forts, in company with Galise Bey and a numerous retinue, amidst salutes of artillery , o notify the honour. 1,000 men are employed in adding to 'the fortifications at Marabout on the west of Alexandria, and crowds of soldiers and labourers are daily occupied in raising stones, even at the expense of the catacombs. The plague varies in its attacks from 10 to 26 casts per day, and from five to 15 deaths. Last month 174 persons were at tacked and carried to the hospital ; 220 others have died before .hey could be carried thither. Amongst the latter were four Europeans—amongst the former, eight. The Pacha has put his float in strict quarantine to-day, and issued orders that the arsenal and all his public establishments shall follow the ex ample. The physician of the Pope's gun-boats had died of plague at Rosetta, and 20 officers arc ill there. To-day, not withstanding, he had a sale of cotton of 10,000 cantars at an average of $l4 1-10 per cantar. Amongst the late arrivals Sir Willoughby Cotton and Sir David Wilkie have been presented to the Pacha, and the latter has been invited to take his portrait. The last news from Candia, brought by the French brig-of war Bougainville, and which came up to the 2d, showed the insurgents to be gaining ground. They had formed a Provi 4ional Government, and had chosen an administrative body from ammg Deputies of the people. MALTA. MALTA, MAY 15.—Some of the line-of-battle ships at Malta are preparing for a cruise,but the public is uninformed as to their destination. On Tuesday evening last the Rear-Admirals, Captains, and officers of the fleet gave a farewell ball to Admiral Stopford, which was very splendid. Some appropriate addresses were delivered after supper. The Admiral is expected to leave for Corfu on Tcesday next. The Stromboli leaves to-morrow morning for the coast of Syria. The Alecto leaves on Monday for Gibraltar, with the mails for that place and England ; and the Prometheus for the lonian Islands and Greece to-morrow, with the mails, in lieu of the City of Dublin; which arrived thence this'morning, and is again in want of repairs. The Medea steam-frigate arrived on the 13th instant from Beyrout, whence she sailed the sth, and from Suds, in Candia, Which place she left on the Bth instant, bringing from the former despatches for Lord Palmerston, from Colonel Rose' now senior British officer there; and from the latter a despatch from the British Consul for his ExcellenCy the Admiral. INDIA Mans.—The Prometheus steam-packet arrived in port on the 12th inst., at six A. MI., in seventy hours from Mar seilles, with the London mails of the 4th inst., which reached Malta in seven days and nine hours. The Oriental steamer arrived on the 13th inst. at eight a.m., with the London mails, via Falmouth, of the 30th ult. She prbceeded with both mails to Alexandria yesterday, at two r.si. The Oriental has brought out a fioating omnibus, 105 feet long, for the purpose of conveying the mails and passengers on the Mahmoudie ' Can,.l, between Alexandria and the Nile, where they will be transferred to the Lotus iron steamer. The next mail from' India was to be despatched from Bombay to Suez on the Ist inst.., and on its arrival here the Acheron will proceed to Mar eilles with . the boxes addressed by this route.

We might here enlarge upon the various topics per tinent to the day, but as they have been written threadbare we shall content ourselves with stating, briefly, that the throng on the road was greater than has been witnessed fer many years, the heat and dust intolerable (notwithstanding the gross imposition of a double toll at the Epsom trusts on the plea of a water-rate, and the consumption of stimulating fluids extensive enough to ensure a sensible addition to tt.e next quarter's revenue. The stoppages were unceasing,_ and the anxiety of the toll - keepers to prevent any thoughtless person from paying twice so excessive that all the inconve niences which we had anticipated would have been ameliorated by the railway were felt in their full extent; the good conduct cf the police alone prevented serious accidents; to present quarreling and confusion was beyond their reach. The race was fixed for half-past two, long before which every part of the Downs available to carriages was appropriated. The Stands were as full as the ingenuity of their proprietors could stuff them ; anti the scene, heightened as it was by a brilliant sun and a cloudless sky, one of the most vivid ever beheld. With so vast an assemblage, the Steward! had a hard task to perform ; but aided by the A police, under Inspectors Hughes ,and Pearce, it was performed quietly and with entire success.

Carr. eleon held the second place to the mile post, where he headed Ralph arid went on with the running t 11 rear the turn, where he gave up and shortly after dropt into the crowd. Ralph resumed his lead, and maintained it into the straight running, where he was in difficulty, and before he reached the road was fairly beaten ; Potentia was also beaten here, and Using in the Oaks, was pulled up. Coronation, who had till along been-going " within himself," now took a commanding lead at an improved pace, Arundel second, ant Van Amburgh, who had et ept up from the centre on rounding the corner, third ; very little more remains to be tell. Van Ant burgh defeated Arundel at the distance, but never reached Cot °nation, who retained his lead, and won with the most perfect case by three lengths, being the first-first favourite that has won since Bay Middleton's year ; it is not tto much to add, that the pet-tamer:co will bear comparison with any Derby on record, and that, if he keeps well to the day, the St. Leger is almost " a certainty."—Mustapba Muley and E. 0. ran in the crowd until they neared the distance, but by " going on," they gained upon Arundel every stride, and opi osite the winning-post were so nearly level, that each jockey claimed to be third, we should say thatMustaphaSlulcy beat E. O. by a head, and that Arundel Was a neck from E. 0. ;. about three lengths separated the trio from Van Amburgh. The next lot con sisted of Galaor, Ralph, Belgrade, and Eringo, but - what fol lowed them we could not ascertain. Marshal Soult, with whom Lord Westminster declared to win, never reached the front, and was beaten before he got into straight running. The last horses in the race were Mr. Rush's colt Mongolian (broke. down), and St. Cross. Value of the stakes, 4,275/. We un derstand that Mr. Rawlinson wins about 8,0001. in addition to the stake, but that the largest winner is Sir. Isaac Day, who of late has had the management of the horse.

A public mce:ing of the inhabitants of the parish of Pad-. dington took place on Tuesday -in the Vesta-room, l'adding- ' ton-green, for the purpo - ,e of petitioning Parliament in favour of the late Itliniste ial proposition; of reclueed duties on corn, sugar, and timber. Mr. Churchwarelen Watts was called to the chair. Mr. BAIRES CURRIE, M.P., moved the first resolution. He would touch upon one or two points of the subject with which, he was professionally well acquainted—the effect of the Corn laws upon the currency and the. monetary system: . The sliding scale of duties prevents the importation of corn until prices reach the highest point. Then a great overflow of fo- • reign corn rours in at once; and what is 'the consequence ? As we have no regular trade with those foreign corn growing, countries, we have to pay for that corn in gold instead of exchanging for it, as we otherwise would do, manufactured • goods. Very lately we were obliged to disburse upwards of seven millions of gold in payment of the foreign corn we were obliged to import. The consequences are, that we are ever liable, under the present system, to a national bankrupiny--a catastrophe which we were lett ly only saved from by the moat stringent measures on the part of the Bank of England in re straining the currency, otherwise it would have been obliged ,to pay out its last sovereign. Mr. _BENJAMIN Satgwr seconded the resolution. The in tention as well as fhe effect of the Corn-laws was to keep up rents by keeping up the price of bread. The country hail heretofore been ruled by monopoly and class interests.— ( Hear.) Unless the people supported the Ministry now, they woulti deserve to be desertr d for ever by all who had advocated their rights. If they did not stand by the Ministry now—if they admitted .the Tories in, they might look again for the gagging Bills of the high and palmy days of Toryism. After some discuss on, the motion was unanimously carried. Prlr. KEMSHEANT proposed, as an amendment, " That the mec:ing ale i f opinion that there has been.a wssteful exrendi thee of public money, and great mismanagement in the tinsn cill &par= nt ; and, likewise, considering the great suns paid by Uovernrnent to the West Init;a proprietors, they are of opi nion th4t any method of making up the deficiency in the eve nue by means which would encourage• slavery and the slave trade, Is to be reprobated by the meeting." Me, HovEsinoar opposed the amendment. Me. - STACY supported the motion. One or two 9' her gentlemen having addressed the meeting, Sir BENJAMIN HALL, ALP., in answer •to a request to address the meeting, stood forward. He said there was one point which, as ho felt deeply interested in, he . could not refrain from noticing. He alluded to the grant of 20,000,000/. vcted for the West India planters. —( Hear. hear.) Opinion wos much divided as to the propriety of that rneasu-e at the time of its introduction, but as he (Sir Benjamin Hall) had on a farim r occasion, at the passing of the Reform B•ll,ob jected to give compensation to individuals in possession of par liamentary burghs, as deriving thence an unjust and uncousts tutional advantage, he had also deemed • it incumbent on him in consistency to vow against the grant to slave-holders, on the ground of its being an Unnatural and unholy system.—( Hear, hear, hear.) As regarded the Corn-laws, .all lie pos , .essed was drawn Irons the produce of the soil; but so hos ile had he always been, and would always be, to the cause of monopoly and class interests, and so anx:ous was he to see the principles of free trade encouraged and developed, that for his own part he was ready to make any sacrifice that might be demanded ef him for the general good. —( Great clicering. ) After a few words from Mr. BaarstE, the original motion Mr. Kempsheant's amendment %vete put to the meeting, e former was carried by a triumphant majority, and •-ing, oily about half a dozen hands being held wiien 1..: amid gr , :at Cho... , , up fist- tne amendmen.. • - i nointed to draw up a petition, ern. .

At six o'clock, the time appoitt , d', John T. Powell, Esq., Churchwareen, took the Chair. The room: was trammed to the outer door. JOhn Bowling, Esq, proposed, and William 'l3.rd, Fsq., seconded the peti ion. Mr. Sr.annwcon, a Chartist, rose to propose an amend ment, when a most uproai ions scene occurred, and the Chair m:ln had much difficulty in mvintaining order, until another 'Chartist rose, of the name of Cullinghane, who condemned the conduct of the Nottinghpm Chartists and of . the Chartist who last spoke. •He was a Chartist, but they went a mistaken way to work; he was thankful to take good measures from any Ad. ministration.—(Cries of" Question, question.") • Mr. Harris, Mr. •Teskle, Mr. Wicken, Mr. Brown, Mr. Le Alasaitre, and Mr. Loftus, then spoke in support of the petition. The CITA IRMA w put the-Chartist amendment—" That it is useless petitioning the Legislature for the redress of any griev . ances until the representation of the pcople he made coeval with taxation." • „ . .• , On the amendment being put, three hands only were held up for it. The petition•was then put and carried unanimously; with: three cheers for Lord John Russell alai her Majesty's Ministers. MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY EVENING.

Mr. Pilkingtod, one of. the Mogiitt ales of the district, was called .to the chair. Consi derable discussion took place. Ultimately a petition to Parlia. meat. in favour of free trade and the abolition of the corn mo: nopoly, which had teen a2rced upt:n at a former meeting, and received numerous signatures, was trdered to be sent to Mr. Byng, M.P., for imrredirte Tre:entation. Mr Wickham then proposed the formation of aa Auxiliary Anti - Corn - la w Association. The proprEal was most favouracly received, and it was agreed to take the subject mere fully into consideration at an adjourned meeting to be held no Monday evening next, and alao hat was the best course to be pur.ued by the Re formers of Kensington in the prtrent: important cri,is. CHATHAM. In pursuance of a requisition signel by . 197 inhabitants of Chatham, the High Constable, stir. Joseph lopkins, con vened a public meeting, to be held at the end of the military road, Chatham, at s x o'clock on Monday ; and it was an nounced that Mr. Sidney Smith, the lecturer, would. attend and address the meeting. At six o'clock a nurnerosts assem blage of the working and middle classes was present, .which . by half-past six, the time when the chair was taken, had in creased to many thowands. At no period of time during the meeting, it is computed, were lee than 5,000 present—some say 7,000. Many went away from not being able to hear the speeches. Mr. STEPHENS moved the . first resolution, to the effect " That a system of legis'ation which consults the interests of favoured and privileged classes, instead of the community at large,is vicious and unsound ; and that the present laws regu. lacing the ccrnmercial intercourse of Great Britain with fo reign nations are ruinous, and ought imme:iiately to give place to a more enlightened and liberal po icy." Mr.: HAY MAN seconded the resolution, which, having been put by the Chairman, was unanimously carried, not one dis sentient voice being heard. Mr. GOODING moved the next resolution. Mr. G. JEFFERYS seconded the resolution, whicliw as carried with the same unanimity and earnestness of sympathy as the former. Mr. S. SMITH then came forward, and was received with several distinct rounds of applause. He advocated not the cause of faction, or party, or single interest, but of every man in Britain. The cause he advocated embraced not Britain alone, but that immense territory upon which the sun never set, that owned Britain for its mitre's. It embraced nut even the British empire alone, but universal man, who must be deeply affected by what even concerned this country, the mistress of the world.—(lmmense cheering.) It was not a struggle be tween one faction and another, but between 30,000 landowners and universal man.—(llear,_hear.) lie stood bcfure them for justice ; the wieows' cries were ringing in hls care; and the orphans' tears fell:upon his heart. It was needles , to disguise it, the present was ths question of questions; they had had the Re form Bill, which gave them political privilege i, but what was the worth of that, so long as the working man was lobbed of his daily bread? Let them have cheap bread, sugar, timber, coffee ; and let them hive those things cheap which were necessary for their comfort, and ho would answer for it ffiat. Englishmen would work out thrir own political salvation: (Loud clutters.) A tax upon bread !—upon that without which a man must die l—a tax on existence itself—upon the morsel that was obtained by the beggar from sweeping the crossings of London !—and upon the milk which the infant draws•from its mother's breast !—(Cheers.) as it necessary for him to talk of political economy, to use- any elaborate arguments on the subject, in a country which called itself Christian, and in the nineteenth century. in order to teach them the unlawful ness of muzzling the ox that trcd out a na:ion's corn? Could there be two sides to such a question ? Mr. 'Smith here enumerated some instances of distress of which he had been an eye-witness in the metropolis, and which excited the deep commisseration of his audience. He enter tained no antipathy towards elegant apparel, but when he thought of .the situation of the aristocracy and of th.e work ing population, 'he did feel that it would be much better that the rich man were a little less rich, and the poor man a little less poor. Mr. Smith concluded a speech of upwards of two hours' duration, throughout which he was most enthusiastically cheered, by earnestly conjuring all those who felt the evils of this grievous system to join together, heart and hand, in the coming contest, and return only those men to Parliament who were the won foes of monopolists. On the proposition of Mr. Churchwarden Panic, petitions to both Housi - s -of Parliament, praying for the total repeal of the Corn-law', were then ordered to be signed on behalf of the meeting by the worthy Chairman, and presented—the one to the Lords by Lord Strafford, the other by the Hon. Mem ber for Chatham, Geo. S. Byng, Esq. The meeting then passed votes of thanks to Mr. Smith and Mr. Hopkins, and vietly . dispersed, first giving three times three to tier Majesty s Ministers, • • Many of the friends of repeal subsequently met Mr. Smith at the Chest Arms Tavern, and formed themselves into an Anti-Corn-law Association, which there is every reason to be lieve will prosper in an extraordinary degree, from the general feeling of interest displayed by the middle and working classes of these towns on the subject.
