EVENING EDITION THE CHARTISTS AT SHEFFIELD. THE CORN-LAWS AND ELEC TION MOVEMENTS. (From the Leeds Times.) " Down with the Corn-laws," is the cry that is now resounding throughout the land. Down with the Corn laws—the deep heart of humanity, in which so long they have rankled, like a barbed and poisoned arrow, pleads for their fall. Down with the Corn-laws, and whoever (FROM A COILRESPONDENT.) The Chartists, not relishing the complete defeat which they suffered at the large public meeting held in Para dise-square, on Thursday . week, issued placards on Friday last for a meeting in the same place , on Whit- Mo f nday, to discuss the question, whether the repeal of the Corn-laws, under the present circumstances, would benefit the people, and whether they ought not to go for Universal Suffrage. In their placard they described as• " menials" the 8,000 who composed the former meeting, and challenged the repealers to meet them. The Opera tive Anti-Corn-law Committee immediately resolved to answer the challenge, and having . obtained the concur rence of a number of gentlemen in their views, issued the following placard : " NO MONOPOLY. " ,Men of Sheffield,—Last week you made an emphatio declaration against the monopolies which tax your food and ruin your trade. " You petitioned our young and lovely Queen to stand by 'you against the monopolists, and she has heard your prayer. " You are now called upon by the treacherous men who handed over the people of Nottingham to the monopo lists to let them play the same game with you. " Men of Sheffield, muster in Paradise-square at half past ten o'clock on Monday morning and show the mono polists that neither by them nor their tools will you be deluded. supports them may the low, murmuring tale of misery which has so long ascended before God—the curse of the poor—the heaviest of all curses, though often long de layed—reach his heart—mingle, like the voice of an un welcome spirit, or the still more unwelcome reproaches of a guilty conscience, with all his joy, making it no joy to him. Down with the Corn-laws, and may he who would uphold this monstrous iniquity be assailed with the sighs, and groans, and tears, of the fond mother as she beholds her child pining for that bread which the land lord, rather than permit it to taste, casts into the sea— may he be haunted by this human misery, the extent of which God only knows, till his heart relents, or, unre lenting— Till he wish and pray that life may part, And not find leave to die." We yield to none in our hatred of the landlords' mono poly—to none in the sincerity with which we cry—Down with the Corn-laws. (From the Bristol Mercury.) Never before, indeed, were the Liberals so hearty and united in the cause of any one of their candidates—a candidate whose abilities and sterling qualities have been admitted even by his political opponents. Mr. Berkeley has been tried and not found wanting. He has proved himself a staunch Liberal, and, when again returned to Parliament, will (with the single exception of a question of time on the West India experiment) take his seat as the firm and determined opponent of monopoly. He will be one of the minority against the bread-tax in the present Parliament, and one of the majority against it in the House of Commons about to be elected by the people. There is only one circumstance which can, in the slightest degree, militate against the return of Mr. Berkeley, and that is, blind and overweening confidence on the part of the Liberal party. (From the Leeds Times.) KEIGHLEY.—.THE ELECTIONS. The electioneering machinery is in full operation in Keighley. An active canvass has commenced on both sides. The Whigs have this advantage over their opponents,—they . know for whom they are canvassing, whereas the Tories do not ; they are asking for votes for the " Blues." W. Busfeild Ferrand, Esq : , is their master spirit, and he is concen trating his gigantic talents, and the knowledge he ac quired among " Britain's gentry," into one focus, namely, some placardism, and he blazes away at the Whigs in a style which no man can equal. The Char tists are as yet very calm, but they are waiting until the " star" twinkles on Saturday, not knowing until then what they are to do in the great struggle. Mr. Ferrand was astonishing the little boys on Wednesday night last, by scrambling handsful of silver among them : he is very popular with that party, but unfortunately they have no votes. He addresses the Haworth electors on Saturday. CHOICE OF CANDIDATES.—On Tuesday evening last, a numerous meeting of the Liberal electors of Leeds was held in the Music Hall, for the purpose of choosing two candidates to represent this important constituency in Parliament, in the place of Edward Baines, Esq., and Sir William Molesworth, both of whom have announced " Attend and maintain your consistency, as honest and thinking men ! Show your country—show your wives— show your children—without compromising any right to which you deem yourselves entitled, that you will have food—that you will not be diverted from the mighty contest in which you are sure to succeed against the plundering and famine creating monopolies." The Chartists answered this by another placard, de nouncing " the base and treacherous Whigs,' and giving an enumeration of Whig measures, including prominently Lord Stanley's Coercion Bill, and Twenty Millions grant to the Slave-owners. In Sheffield, Whit-Monday is a great Sunday School Jubilee, which engages the atten tion of several thousand Sunday-school teachers, and the meeting was fixed for the unusual hour of half-past ten in the forenoon. At the appointed time there was a small d e nse mass in front of the steps which served as hust ings, and in the centre, or square. These turned out to be the packed body of Chartists, and they kept their ground in a ccopect body to the last, except that they were pushed by the pressure of the great bulk of the meeting, rather more to the right of the operatives. The ground not occapied by the Chartists was at first rather thitily covered ; but between eleven and twelve o'clock the square appeared to be one dense mass of people. There could not be fewer than 10,000 or 12,000, of which the Chartists certainly did not constitute 1,000, on the most liberal estimate. The Chartist speakers occu pied the steps, near which a. waggon was placed for the liepealers. Business began by the Chartists proposing a working man, named Parkes, as chairman. E. Bram ley, Esq., solicitor, proposed, and Mr. Harri sdli; an operative, seconded the nomination of William Fisher, Esq. The result, on a show of hands, was doubtful, many of the Chartists holding up both hands. The Anti-Monopolists required that the motion ghould be put again, and that both parties should hold up both hands. After prolonged confusion this was done, and there was a clear majority in favour of Mr. Fisher. The Chartists, however, On the steps claimed a majori for their man, who immediately commenced his speec as Chairman, amid repeated shouts of " No Chairman -- from the Anti-Monopolists. The disturbance continued for. a long time. Mr. Wm. Fisher, Sir A. S. Knight, Mr. William Vickers; Mr. Bromley . , and others, attempted to speak, but the Chartists made an uproar which rendered it impossible ; and, on the other hand, the reiterated protests of the anti monopolists against the unjust assump tion of the chdir by Parkes, rendered him, and Mr. Wil liam Gill, whom he called upon to move the first resolu tion, all but inaudible. At length there was a cessation, of attempts to speak on both sides, and Mr. Fisher hav ing communicated to the Chartist leaders that he would no longer protract the proceedings, but would leave the meeting after publicly stating the reasons for his con duct, they silenced their party, and Mr. Fisher, after stating that he thought his retirement would enable the meeting to settle the matter in a more satisfactory manner, withdrew. Parkes then read the motion, which he said had been moved by Gill. It declared that " the measure proposed by the 'Whigs was an insult to the suffering millions ; that the conduct of the W higs proved them unworthy of confi dence ; and that although the Corn-law was unjust, cruet, and oppressive, the present House of Commons being inimical to the people's rights, would not repeal the same except through an agitation bordering on revo lution." Wes. lIIBOTSON, Esq., in an able speech, moved the following amendment :—" That it is clearly shown that the abolition of monopolies, especially in corn and sugar, and a revision of the import .duties generally, would greatly improve the cir cuaietan.ces of the people ; that without opposing the extension of the franchise, or the advocacy of their political claims, by any portion of our countrymen, we are of opinion that the men who would weaken our elibrts to abolish monopolies aro the abetters of the mo nopolists, and are not the - real friends of the extension of political rights, and of the welfare and happiness of the people." .Mr.'nENSON, an operative, seconded the amendment, but said he should reserve his remarks till he had heard what was to be said in favour of the motion. BAISTcw, the Chartist missionary, one of the m en who. played Mr. Walter's game at Notting ham'e sp . (ike great length in favour of theinotion, m otton, a the course of which he declared, that un less the - V rhigs would divide the boroughs with them (the Chartists) they would go with the Tories. In the course ei his speech many caustic remarks were made by the peo on llainstow's connection with the Tories. The Rev. R. S. BAYLEY next spoke in favour of the amendi aent. At Ws time (about two o'clock) the meeting was consid irably reduced in numbers, many of the people, wearh d out with the heat and the length of the pro ccecli having left. The Chartists, however, still keet their ranks, and on the parties proceeding to put the question, :kir. BENSON claimed his right to speak. Parkes ob ;.ected, and was supported by the vociferous clamours of Lissparty. At length, however, he agreed to put it, to the meeting, and there appeared in favour of Mr. Ben son's speaking a considerable number of hands, while very few. were held . up against it. Still, however, the opposition was continued, and Parkes put the question in the negative again, calling on his friends to show both hands, on which they made a better exhibition. Mr. E. Ewor then brielly spoke for tie amendment. On its being put to the vote, there appeared in its favour a great show of hands all over the east side of the square, where about three-fourths of the people were. In favour of the motion, there was a seiall compact body, about the lamp-post, in the centre, and extended to the west side, where the depth of the meeting was very small. Apart from this body there did not appear to be one hand for the motion, except among the Chartist leaders on the steps. Parkes ' however, at kneed declared that the motion was carried by an over whelming majority. - Mr. Benson immediately rose, and said the amendment was carried by two to one. The Chartists' hooting upon this was answered by over eadteiming applause. Three cheers, hearty and en thusiastic, were given for the abolition of monopoly, and this made a demonstration as conclusive of the 'feeling of the meeting as if a division had taken ,place ; for while the Chartist section stood compact and silent, the whole expanse of the meeting on the east side exhibited waving hats and hands. The Chirtists got up some counter cheering, and the Anti-Monopolists im mediately left the meeting, which soon after terminated. The result of the meeting shows that at Sheffield the Chartists are a miserable minority among the people when there is any great practical measure offered for the r z. , Qple's acceptance : but yet they are a sufficient body, where they have the advantage of packing and contriv- Arnie, to offer a great impediment to the full e x p ress i on ;of public opinion, and materially to weaken its effect. their intention of retiring from the representation of the borough at the forthcominn election. The saloon and the gallery of the Music Hall were filled, so that we should think there could not be less than 1,500 persons present on the occasion. The meeting was perfectly cordial and unanimous in the choice of Joseph Hume, Esq., as one of the candidates, but a strong feeling was exhibited by great numbers in the meeting against the proposed Whig candidate, Wm. Aldam, jun., Esq. The grounds for the dissatisfaction appeared to be principally his oppositiori to the Ballot, his undecisively expressed opinions on the Abolition of Church-rates and other Church questions, and perhaps, above all, his advocacy of a fixed duty on corn, and not an immediate and total repeal of the Corn-laws. The proposition of Geo. Good man, Esq., as a bandidate, was enthusiastically received by the meeting, and the cheering which followed the an nouncement of his name was almost deafening. How ever, he declined to become a candidate. All the lead ng and influential Liberals of the town were present in ithe orchestra. (From the Somerset County Gazette.) The rumour that a peerage is about to be conferred upon Mr. Sanford is, we believe, without foundation, and we presume that this most excellent representative will offer himself for re-election. Of Mr. Acla,nd's course it would be difficult to venture a prediction. He has lately changed his way of life ; his habits and turn of mind in cline him more to the study than to public business ; and marriage, with its incidental expenses, may, very pro bably, determine him to withdraw from a post for which, great as are his scholarly acquirements, he is by nature and education peculiarly unfitted. We, therefore, deem it very probable that Mr. Acland would decline a con test, in which case Mr. Sanford and Mr. Dickinson would be returned without opposition, and such an ar rangement would be approved by both parties. In East Somerset, we understand, there will be no contest. Col. Gore Langton will again offer himself, and again be returned on the Liberal side, and Mr. Miles, as a moderate Conservative, and a capital man of business, cannot and ought not to be disturbed. In Bath, Mr. Roebuck has already made his appear ance on the Liberal side, and is,pursuing a zealous and effective canvass. Both the present Members are To ries. Mr. Roebuck is, in many of his opinions, too Radi cal for us ; but where the Radicals are numerous, as in Bath, we really think that the Whigs ought to support him, on condition of his friends supporting a Whig candidate. The division between the Whigs and Radi cals was the cause of the defeat of the Liberals here on the last occasion. Let them be warned by the result then, and avoid such an error now. Mr. Roebuck is a man of surpassing talent. In Taunton, the strife of parties has begun. Two Tory candidates, staunch advocates of Monopoly and supporters of the bread-tax, sugar-tax, and provision taxes, have taken the field against the present Members. Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Hall are the monopolist cham pions, and they do not mince matters. The taxers of bread, and sugar, and food, will assuredly find them selves at the bottom of the polL In Bridgewater, there has been no movement up to this present writing (Thursday). But we hear that Mr. pourtenay retires, and that a Liberal, probably Mr. Charles Tynte, will supply his place. Should that liberal and truly independent gentleman be prevailed upon to offer himself, his election is secure, and that, we believe, without any opposition. In Wells, Mr. Hayter, the Liberal and able Member, whose popularity is unbounded in the City, will be se cure of re-election. The other seat; now occupied by Mr. Blakemore, a monopolist, will, we presume, be contested, and we doubt not successfully, by . Mr. Lee Lee, as the advocate of the humane and liberal prin ciples to advance which the Parliament is dissolved. In Frome, the seat of Mr. Sheppard, the,once Liberal, now Tory and monopolist Member, will be stoutly con tested. (From the Tyne Pilot.) The step taken by the Government is one of greater consequence than any political movement of the present century. It is a new principle introduced into our Le gislature, whose power must soon become paramount there, and before whose lustre and purity every dark monopoly must sooner or later disappear. Even amid all the public distress which exists, we cannot help feeling proud of our country at this juncture, and re joicing that her strength of character is such as t o p ass with philosophic calmness and composure through moral revolutions like that in which she is now engaged—a moral revolution through which, perhaps, no free state in the world could pass without bloodshed and anarchy. The cry of the nation—" forwards,"—long unheeded in high places, is at length responded to thence ; and now, we firmly believe that nothing can long retard the tri umph of just and free principles in every department of our national system. (From the Bolton Free Press.) The Reform electors of Bolton have done themselves honour by the unanimity of their resolution to call on Mr. Cobden to become a candidate for the representa tion of the borough. They invite him in the full con fidence that they will be able to place him at the head of the poll, and no body of electors should, in a crisis like this, dare to peril the return of such a nan upon a per adventure. For a manufacturing constituency to fail in an attempt to return a leader of the Anti-Corn-law movement to Parliament would prove a mortifying blow to the free trade cause, which is the cause of national prosperity, and even the most remote chance of such an issue should be avoided. SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR BOLTON OF •rttg 7TH Da AGOONS.—Monday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Jury was empane'led at the Burlington Arms, Old Burling ton-street, to inquire into the circumstances attending the eleat'n of Major John Bolton, aged 34, late of her Majesty's 7th Dragoons. Edward Fitzjohn, waiter at the Burlington Hotel, had known the deceased upwards of 14 years by lodging oc tasionally at hiS master's house. The last time he sa w h im alive was on Friday last , about six o'clock in the evening, when he riled and wished to have a room. There being none vacant, witness said be would procure one far him at Nerot's, opposite, which he (lid. The deceased, who ap peared in good h ealth and spirits, then left, and he (witness) saw if° more of him until the following evening, when he found him lying in bed a corpse. Sarah Pindar, housemaid at !ierot's Hotel. said the deceased came home and retired to bed abut 11 o'clock. He was perfectly sober, and appeared in excellent health end spirits. About 10 o'clock the following triorning (Saturday), finding the deceased's room door open, she went in as* , as the wash-stands but seeing that the water , tug had not been moved, she left it, not wishing to disturb him. ilts three o'clock she a second time went into the room, when abet caw the deceased lying on his back apparently in a sound sleep. She again left, and told the waiter of the deceased not being Abent sax o'clock, the waiter said he would go up and wake him, as he bad lain loog enough. She accompanied the waiter up stairs for the third time, and on their opening the shutters the deceased was found to be quits dead, with the sheet firmly grasped in both hands. She searched the room, but could find noshing to indicate that the deceased bad taken poison. Mr. Miles Marley, surgeon, was called in to see the deceased about sir o'clock on Saturday evening. He found him quite dead, and not the least doubt but that he had been so above twelve hours. He mould detect no poison of any kind, his death being caused by a ft:Jaen of blood in the head, which, pressing on the brain, produced apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visita tion of God." We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hen. Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart., which took place on 'Monday afternoon at simbrook Park. Sir Robert had been for some time in a very precarious state of health, but his medical attendants had not anticipated so early a termination of his illness. When actively engaged in publ'c life, Sir Robert's chief endeavours were directed to relieve the dis tresses of the labouring classes by means of emigration ; indeed, he was the first person who called *lie attention to the happy effects that might be produced throughout the overpopulated parts of the empire by enabling the poor to seek in our colonies that market for their industry, which could no longer be provided at home. It is impossible to withhold our admiration of the benevolent motives which prompted him tAs,those exertions; indeed, nothing but a most generous sym xathy for the distresses of the industrious poor could have sup orted him through the diffi c ulti es h e th en h a d to encounter. Sir Robert's name will long be remembered in the colony of Ceylon (the government of which he administered for the Pe rred of s i x y ears), as t h e reformer of numerous abuses, and the Pat ron o f every improvement which seemed adapted to the wants of the colony. A wide circle of private friends, by whom his social qualities were lone. esteemed will deeply la ment his l oos ; i ndeed if cur partiality' does not induce us to exagr:era.te the merits of the departed, we sincerely believe that, apart from his highietr and mo re va l ua bl e qua li t i es , f ew men have bee n more t . zed a s a compan i on, or will be more Duetted as a itiend..— ' 41°71 ' 43 9 Paw, (From the Welshman.) The Tories are rabid ; they are all but dangerous to approach. They have, however, changed the obnoxious term of " Tory," for the still more detestable soubri quet of " Monopolist." This appellation conveys a more correct idea of the true spirit of their party' : their principle has ever been to benefit the few at the expense of the many— to starve, to beggar the middle and lower classes for their own aggrandisment. Our whole system of taxation proves this fact. These monopolists have held the reins of Government long enough to enact laws for the protection of their own interests, however unequally and unjustly they may bear upon the other classes of the community, and any attempt to bring about a more healthy and rational mode of legislation, naturally alarms their hateful pre judices, and awakens their tyrannous spirit of domina tion. They now grasp, as in the agonies of death, their daring monopolies of corn, sugar and timber, knowing that if the admirable propositions of the Go vernment should become the law of the land, they must lead to a thorough revision of our entire tariff. The people have no real sympathy with the Tories : those of the middle and lower classes who swell the ranks of those grinding monopolists are enlisted either under the banner of intimidation or corruption. (From the Falmouth Packet.) Let us direct attention to one most awful and startling effect, arising from the operation of the Corn-laws— namely, the disastrous influence of those laws upon the health of thousands—nay, millions of our fellow-crea tures. It is known that scarcity of food is the fruitful cause of disease and death. Any regulation, therefore, tending to limit the supply of food, is a deadly attack upon human life. The burdens of the poor have become too heavy to be borne, and that individual cannot have the heart of a man who can quietly look on and not at tempt to alleviate their sufferings and sorrows. Among the facts published by the Metropolitan Anti-Corn•law Association, we find tales of men receiving less than five shillings per week, and of fathers robbing the hog's trough to satisfy their own and their children's cravings. Nay, we can ourselves name a town in the west of Eng land where children may he constantly seen raking sca venger's heaps for potato skins, to appease their hunger Is this a question that can be any longer trifled with ? any lger (From the Monmouth edin.) Immediately on its appearing from the declaration of Nlinisters that they had determined by dissolving Par liament to appeal to the country, Mr, Blewitt resolved on presenting himself to his constituents to render an account of his stewardship, and to solicit again the ho nour of their suffrages in his favour at the approaching election. Having supported Ministers in their recent endeavours to support monopoly, and aided them in their efforts to effect reforms, the Hon. Member availed himself of the earliest moment after the late important divisions, to return to Newport, where he arrived on Sunday last. On the following morning, the Hon. Gen tleman, accompanied by some of his most influential sup porteis—the steady and consistent friends of Reform in Newport—commenced an active canvass. All canvasses are said by those who make them, to be successful, and the vox populi is assumed to be on their sides but we can, with entire confidence and perfect sincerity state, that we never witnessed a more triumphant proof of the popular satisfacton resulting from the honest discharge of Parliamentary duties by a representative, on again appealing to his constituents, than was evinced by the electors of Newport upon this occasion. (From the Carnarvon Herald.) LORD GEORGE PAGET. —ln an Address to the Electors of Carnarvonshire Boroughs, this noble scion of the illustrious House of Plasnewydd, determined to retrieve the errors and failures of the Liberal party in former contests, has come forward " at the earliest op portunity," and declares his " intentions " with that promptitude and frankness which are alike due to the electors and himself. _ (From the Kelso Chronicle.) Considerable anxiety prevails here that a demonstra tion in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws should take place ; and as far as the working-classes are concerned, we know that numbers of them are most anxious that such should be the case. We hope immediate steps will be taken accordingly, confident that no intelligent mem ber of the community will offer any opposition. Should any individuals foolishly do so, we are certain that the numbers favourable to a repeal of the bread-tax would be so overpowering as to overrule all the tyranny of faction which could be displayed. (From the Southern Reporter.) We are most happy to be enabled to announce that Kinsale will be certainly relieved from the odium and injustice of being misrepresented by Colonel Thomas. We are informed that this patriotic constituency has been canvassed within the last few days on behalf of a gentle man of high respectability, and of principles ensuring not only his general support to the present Administra tion, but his close attention to the interests of Ireland. However Kinsale may have been maligned, we do not believe that all the gold of the. Carlton Club would, at the present crisis, influence the votes of six of the const . tuency.

Hampshire 5O/. sh. 5/. pd 9 TRURO, SATURDAY.—After a number of attempts on the part of the Tories to get Sir Richard Rawlinson Vyvyan to come forward to contest the representation of the eastern division of the county, the Tories gave up their hopes of inducing that gentleman to come out, he having been a very great sufferer, both in this county and at Bristol on former occasions ; and they have now induced William Rashleigh, Esq., a young man, the son of William Rashleigh, of Menabilly, and nephew of Sir Colman Rashleigh, to come forward against Sir Hussey Vivian. There is sure, therefore, to be a contest in the East. In the West the Tories are slyly moving for Lord Boscawen, the son of Lord Falmouth, who is not much liked by any party. If the unpopularity of the father can do any harm to a cause, Lord Boscawen will be a considerable sufferer by it. The Reformers are very sanguine of the success of Sir Charles Lemon and Mr, Pendarves, if they should unite, but if they should hang aloof, it is possible that Boscawen may slip in. Lady Basset has shown the necessity of the Ballot by ordering all her tenantry to vote for the Tory candidate, whether they like it or not, and there is no doubt that the Tory landlords will do their utmost to coerce all who are in the slightest degree dependent upon them. It is now currently reported that the Conservatives are trying to get Sir R. R. Vyvyan to stand with Boscawen, but as there is no good feeling existing between him and Lord Falmouth, it is very doubtful whether his proposition will be attended with success. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) (From the Southern Reporter.) REPRESENTATION OF KERRY.—lreland carried the Eman cipation Act ; the Irish Members carried the Reform Bill, and "this country will again do good service in the cause of public freedom. There was, a little time since, a good deal of de spondency as to ;he probable results of a general election in England, and it was taken as undeniable that several seats would be lost in Ireland. As for England there need be no apprehension any longer ; the gain to Ministers will be beyond the highest expectations, and in Ireland, in place of losing, we shall gain largely. In our last we had the pleasure of an nouncing that the electors of Kinsale had resolved to be no longer disgraced by a Tory Representative, and we are now enabled to state that a few days will terminate Mr. Blenner hassstt's connection with Kerry. We are authorized to state that the Hon. William Browne, brother of the Earl of Ken mare, intends to offer himself for the representation of Kerry at the approaching election. This is in every way most gratify ing. f he active accession of the Earl of Kenmore to the po pular interest at this moment is of great importance, and as to the Hon. Mr. Browne himself, we believe that a better or more honest patriot never entered the House of Commons. (From the Ipswich Express.) REPRESENTATION OF Irswicx.—We have just heard that Mr. Montague Gore, one of the Tory nominees for the repro. sentation of this borough, has very honestly declined to " stand." It cannot be said that he has withdrawn his pre tensions, beeanse the only pretension required of him was a well-filled purse, and that the Tories themselves have found out, and candidly admit he was not encumbered with. Pro bably, when he was solicited to bid for their votes, the extent of the " liability" was not accurately represented to him ; however that may be, it is very certain that his eyes have been opeoed by what Mr. Grattan said in the House of Commons on Friday night, in reference to our exposure of the affair of Sir Thomas Cochrane ; and not feeling disposed to require a " guarantee," which ke very naturally inferred would be dis honoured, he has very prudently declined to embarrass him self. This retirement of Mr. Gore, coupled with the notori ously shameful treatment of Sir Thomas, places the Tories in a very awkward predicament to find another candidate, for it is a matter of question whether any man, however desirous of sitting in Parliament for Ipswich, would come forward with his eyes open to the certainty of being " fleeced."

A Mr. Sheppard, and a Captain Fitzroy, both decided Tories, and Mr. 'l. C. Granger, a bar rister, of Radical principles, offered themselves as candi dates. Mr. Granger has before contested Durham, and we hope will this time be successful. We should be glad to see two Liberals returned for this city, but we rather wish than ex pect it. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) REPILESRNTATION OF ABERDEEN.—An idle story was re cently put into circulation, and even printed, to the effect that our worthy City Member, iu consequence of being appointed to a situation in connexion with the revenue department, was about to retire from the House of Commons, and that his constituents, of course, would have to seek out a new Repre sentative. So satisfied were some of our quidnuncs of the truth of the statement, that they would not listen patiently to any one who ventured to hold a different opinion. It turns out, however, that the rumour was either utterly groundless, or ridiculously premature. There is no vacancy in the depart ment referred to, and it is not at all likely, even if the Whigs were willing to make a new place for Mr. Bannerman, that the Tories, in the present state of parties, would allow them to do so. Should Mr. Bannerman have any intention of retiring from the representation of the City, he will, no doubt, give his friends due notice. They will, at least, know the fact as soon as the Tories, which would not have been the ase, if this last rumour had turned out to be correct. The Tories, it is said, are making preparations for a contest. They may save themselves the trouble, and their candidate the expense. If Mr. Bannerman come forward, and take care not to inveigle himself with any fanatical party, he is sure to be elected; and should he not come forward, the Liberals will start a gentleman who will unite the suffrages of all honest Reformers. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—If the Tories cannot contrive to get up Pro- Corn-law meetings, they can at least garble the reports of the meetings which take place, and which they intended should have been Pro-Corn-law meetings. They can disfigure the offspring of Liberalism, " like gypsies— to make it pass for their own." We extract the follow ing specimen from last night's Standard : " THE CORN-LAW MOVEMENT.—The counties of Ros common and Galway have met for the purpose of record ing their protest against the ministerial fixed duty scheme. The Galway meeting was presided over by the Roman Catholic High Sheriff of the county, and his con duct throughout is described as being above all praise." This paragraph is intended to convey to the Stan dard's readers, that meetings protesting against " the Ministerial fixed duty scheme," having actually been held in the above two counties ; and that even a Roman Catholic High Sheriff has headed the " Protestants." This would have been a godsend to the Stan dard's party, if it had taken place ; and the mere fact that it did not, is not permitted to deprive them of its benefit. What are we to think of the state of a party whose pious organs (doubt less with great violence to their well-known con scientious veracity) are capable of publishing the above quoted paragraph respecting meetings, at one of which (the Galway meeting) the following resolutions were carried by a vast majority " That we consider the present fluctuating scale of duties on foreign grain objectionable, as it has been found, by experience, to cause great uncertainty of prices, and to enable mischievous speculators and mono polists to enjoy the profits which should belong to the producer ; and that we therefore approve of the principle of a fixed protective duty, now proposed by her Majes ty's Government, without pledging ourselves to the amount of duty suggested as an adequate protection. " That we feel bound to express, not only our confi dence in the general policy, of the Government, but also, in an especial manner, our gratitude for the many bene fits conferred by their system of administration in this country." At the Roscommon meeting a resolution was carried for embodying the sense of the meeting in the form of a pe tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the Ministerial proposition in regard to corn, which was signed by the High Sheriff' on the part of the meeting. The indignant reader will naturally ask what possible pretext the Tory organ could have for falsifying the report of two county meetings. The Duke of Wellington's old opinion that county meetings are a farce will scarce justify it. That Tory veracity is a farce is a conclusion which many may come to, when they find a journal which piques itself on high sanctity practising such low artifice. STANDARD.—The pressure of political affairs upon our attention, and the difficulty in the present excited state of the public mind, of drawing attention to any but the one absorbing topic, have hitherto prevented us from noticing, with the reprobation it deserves, the whole sale murder of no fewer than sixteen British subjects by a portion of the crow of the American emigrant ship William Brown. A case of more frightful atrocity has rarely, if ever, come to our knowledge. From the details which have already been published in our columns, it appears that the above-named 'vessel, freighted with British emigrants, and bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia, encountered an iceberg on the 19th of April last, in 43 degrees 39 minutes latitude N., and 49 degrees 39 minutes longitude W., from the effects of her collision with which she sank two hours afterwards. Before she went down, the captain, mate, a lady, and five sailors, had contived to get afloat in the jolly-boat ; and the second mate, eight of the crew, and thirty-three of the pas sengers had embarked in the long-boat. Three and-twenty souls perished with the ship. The fate of the selfish and dastardly captain, who would only re ceive as many hands into the jolly-boat as were neces sary to man her, is not known. He bore off for New foundland, and is supposed to have perished with all on board.' The long-boat still remained ; but the ruffians who had the management of her, finding that she made her way very slowly through the water, "consulted together," and came to the resolu tion of murdering no fewer than sixteen of their passengers for the purpose of relieving her; so that, as the leading miscreant coolly says, "on counting our "passengers sixteen were found missing," that number, chiefly helpless women and children, having been thrown overboard ! These diabolical wretches have since at tempted to justify their conduct by affirming that most of the passengers were nearly dead from cold and exhaus tion ; but if such had been the case, it would only have aggravated their crime. One little child, we are told, begged of its murderers to be permitted to say his prayers before he was consigned to the deep, but was savagely refused, and was one of their earliest victims. The survivors, consisting of a few Women and the assassins, were relieved the next morning by the Crescent packet-ship, from Havre de Grace ; to which port they were subsequently convoyed. In stead, however, of detaining these villains, to take their trial for murder, the American and Eng lish Consuls, after having examined them privately, are said to have discharged them without even a re primand. The name of the English Consul is Gordon ; that of the American Beasley. Nay, so tender-hearted were these philanthropic gentlemen towards these merciless miscreants, that they actually sent them away with written certificates that they had not been guilty of any act " deserving of censure." We have not words at our command wherewith to charac terise such conduct. LAW INTELLIGENCE SHERIFFS' COURT, June 1. CHARLTON V. ASHTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 140/. from the defendant, he having made himself liable under the following circumstances : It appeared from the statement of Counsel that the plaintiff is a stationer and bookseller in the Haymarket, and that the defendant is also a stationer residing in Piccadilly. In October 1839 the defendant, who was then carrying on his business of bookseller and stationer in Piccadilly, sold his. business to the plaintiff, and made an assignment to that effect to the plain tiff. In that assignment the defendant undertook that, in case he recommenced business within the limits of the twopenny post, he would make himself liable to the plaintiff in the sum of 1401. Since that time the defen dant had recommenced business in Piccadilly, and the present action was instituted to recover the sum named in the declaration. _ The action was undefended, and a verdict passed for the plaintiff for the whole amount. DARRINGTON V. DANIELS. This was an action to recover the sum of 131. 12s. Id. on a bill of exchange, the defendant being one of the parties endorsing the bill. The defendant put three pleas on the record-Ist, that he was not the endorser ; 2d, that he had no notice of the dishonour of the bill by the acceptor ; and, 3d, that time had been given to the acceptor without the consent of the defendant. _ _ _ None of these pleas were supported in evidence, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the full amount. Bennett and Buckley, Pigeon and Marriott, Barring ton and Daniels.—These were all undefended actions, and verdicts were severally taken for the plaintiffs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A great number of persons appeared in the Justice room, yesterday, to witness the examination of several men, whom some described 'as Irish Repealers, others as Teetotalers, and others as a mixture of both, charged with having committed desperate assaults in the City. .The bustle and confusion was so great, that it was ex tremely difficult to ascertain for some time what it was all about ; but very much interest was attached to the matter, in consequence of the fact that Mr. O'Connell was on the spot while some of the outrages were perpe trated. Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, was present during the examination. Mr. Daniel O'Connell had, on the morning of Monday, been amongst the teetotalers, who enjoyed a sort of com memoration on that day, and took his leave of them in the City, after which he proceeded through Grace church-street in a barouche-and-four towards London bridge, for the purpose of joining a multitude of re pealers at Bridge Tavern. As the vehicle went along an obstruction was caused, and the City police having interfered to set all right, several of the Irish teetotallers, or repealers, or both, some of whom had sticks, and others had staffs, began to lay about them, and a good deal of mischief was done. The city police, however, having taken into cus tody a few of those whom they considered to be the ring- ' leaders, a stop was put to the row, and the affair was brought before Alderman Pirie. The first person charged at the bar was Patrick Connor. A Mr.' Courthorpe, of the Globe public-house, Dept ford, stated that between one and two o'clock on Mon day, as he was going towards London-bridge, on his way home, he saw a great mob of people walking in proces sion. Two men who seemed to be enjoying the scene, said to him, " Will you have a pipe ;" to which he re plied that " Perhaps a little brandy would suit him bet ser." He had no sooner said the word, than he received a blow upon the head with a staff with a cross upon it from the prisoner, who was one of the party of tee totallers, or whatever they were. Inspector Brake said there was no pretence for saying those who were going towards the bridge were teeto tallers. They were principally Irish, and more than half of them were drunk. George Ritchie, of No. 67, Gracechurch-street, stated that he heard, but did not see the blow, which was a desperate one, given. Giles Winch, an omnibus conductor, stated that he was close to Mr. Courthorpe, and saw him struck with a staff with a cross upon it by the prisoner, when he said something about a glass of brandy. Policeman No. 542 stated that he was on duty in Gracechurch-street, and saw a mob, and amongst them Mr. Courthorpe, with the blood streaming from his head. The wounded man pointed out the prisoner as his assailant. Witness seized the prisoner, whom the mob endeavoured to rescue, and who had in his hand a staff, which was lost in the affray. Conner said that he never struck a blow. Mr. Court horpe spoke to somebody about a drop of brandy, and immediately received a blow, but from whose hand he could not tell. All he knew was that the blow was given by somebody that wasn't himself, and he could prove his innocence. Alderman PIRIE—Who, and what are you ?—I am an Irishman, and a farmer's labourer. The next person put to the bar was a man named . John Mayne. A young man, named Henry Homewood, servar.t to Mr. Myers, of St.- Peter's-alley, Cornhill, said that at half-past three o'clock (the procession was then on its return from the Bridge Hotel) he went out on an errand to Graeechurch-street, and saw some of the mob en- WOOLWIC H-MONDAY: The Spitfire steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander William Tringham, returned from Portsmouth to Woolwich on Friday. This vessel was on her way to the West Indies, but was or dered back to have some defects in her machinery made good. She is expected to leave Woolwich for the West Indies about Tuesday next. The Firebrand steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, disem barked her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the Prince and Princess of Leiningen at Ostend on Friday, and returned to Woolwich en Saturday. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Hastings nald Henry, arrived at Cronstadt en the 17th instant, where she disembarked the Hon. Mr. Bloomfield and suite. On the 21st she was visited by the Grand Duke Constantine, who was received with all the honours due to his exalted rank. On the 22d his Excellency the Marquis of Clanricarde embarked, and the vessel immediately sailed for England, and arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock, P. on Saturday, the 29th, when his Excellency immediately left for London. The Meteor steam-vessel has been fitted by Lieutenant Com mander John Waugh and the crew of the Lightning until the latter vessel undergoes sothe repairs. The Meteor is expected to proceed in a few days, and will be accompanied by the Co met, Lieutenant Fiederiek Chevalier Syer, to the North Sea, to search for the wreck of the late unfortunate vessel the Fairy. The order for launching the Trafalgar, 120 guns, on Satur day, the 19th of June, has not been altered, but, as inquiries were made on Friday last to ascertain if it would be possible to launch her on Monday, the 21st of next month, as that day would be preferred in consequence of its being the anniver sary of her Majesty's proclamation as Sovereign of the United Kingdom, and an answer being given in the affirmative, it is now almost certain the launch will take place en the latter day. High water at London-bridge, on the 21st June, will be at 36 minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon ; but, as it takes place at Woolwich about 26 minutes earlier, the time for launch ing will be some minutes sooner, or as near to three o'clock as possible. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER THAMES. —Two LIVES LOST.—Monday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a deplorable accident occurred on the river Thames, off Wandsworth Meadows, by which two young men, named William Shield and Richard Carpenter, both linen drapers' assistants, were drowned. A party of young men, including the above, were returning from Richmond, where they had been spending the day ; on arriving off Wandsworth Meadows, all being partly inebriated, it was proposed by some to have a bathe in the river, which was agreed to. Shield and Carpenter undressed, and plunged into the river, the others rowing about, when Carpenter being seized with cramp, called to his friend for assistance, in rendering which he must have been fastened on by Carpenter, and both were drowned before those in the boat could render any kind of assistance. Neither of the bodies has been recovered. The . hay harvest has commenced in a few fa voured spots in the neighbourhood of Devizes ; and there is a prospect of abundant produce.— Wilts .Paper.

Edinburgh a nd Dal keith ttar.way 50/. sh 29 SUlClDE.—Yesterday Mr. George Peate, a wholesale butcher, residing in Half-Moon-passage, Whitechapel, committed suicide by hanging himself. At an early hour the infatuated man was discovered suspended by his handkerchief, which was fastened to a wooden peg in the water-closet, immediatoly ad joining his premises. he was instantly cut down, and a surgeon sent for, but life appeared to have been extinct several hours. The deceased was well known in Leaden hall Market. No cause can be assigned for the commis sion of the rash act. dea,vouring to push a coachman from his seat. Witness being in livery, they took him, he supposed, for a fel low-servant of the coachman, and he received a blow from the prisoner. Fearing that he should be attacked with greater violence, he lay down in the street, but the mob kicked him in the face most desperately, while several cried out, " Give it him." Policeman, No. 533, stated, that upon hearing there was a mob in Gracechurch-street, he went up and saw the prisoner, who seemed to be a ringleader, and several others, striking at persons about them. Witness went in to prevent further violence, and was knocked down by the prisoner. Witness, who had his truncheon, then struck several, but he was knocked down again, and his head was stamped upon. He, however, persevered, and, with the assistance of a brother officer, after re peated attacks upon him, succeeded in securing the pri goner near the bridge, and conveying him through a tradesman's house out of the way of rescue. Policeman No. 591 was also severely maltreated. He was knocked down and kicked into a state of insensibility, so that it became necessary to take him to St. Thomas's Hospital. He lost his hat, and handkerchief, and trun cheon. He now felt great soreness about the body and head. The prisoner said, that he was quiet in the crowd, when the policeman took hold of him, and wrongfully accused and dragged him through the house., The next prisoners put to the bar were John Desmond and John Donovan. Alderman PIRIE asked who seemed to be the leaders of the extraordinary procession, some of the members of which had app eared before him ? Inspector B rake said, that Mr. Daniel O'Connelj, with cap and gold band, appeared in the barouche, and he was given to understand that the other principal persons were the Reverend Doctor Kirwan, the Catholic clergyman of Moorfields Chapel, Mr. Brown, a cabinet-maker, Mr. Hennessey, a shoe-maker, and the Rev. Mr. M`Davila, a Catholic clergyman. - Policeman, No. 572, stated, that he observed Mr. O'Connell's carriage near Fenchurch-street, where an omnibus stopped. The mob unbuckled the reins of the horses in the omnibus, and when witness interposed, he was struck violently with sticks by the mob, and disabled. Policeman No. 526, saw the last witness attacked, and dragged him from amongst the crowd by the hair of the head. He knocked down four of the mob, who were punching the man. Afterwards he saw one of the two persons behind the carriage, and he and another appre hended them both. Alderman PIRIE—Was Mr. O'Connell in the carriage? Policeman No. 526, replied that Mr. O'Connell and Doc tor Kirwan were in the carriage. Alderman PIRIE—And could Mr. O'Connell see what was going on ? The witness replied that Mr. O'Con nell could see what was doing. There was an immense number of people hurraing. Mr. O'Connell waved his hand, and they hurraed. Witness was going to appre hend the man whom he had seen strike his brother policeman, when Dr. Kirwan said to the man, " Stand to your post." Witness followed till the procession reached the Bridge Hotel, and then he insisted upon knowing Doctor Kirwan's address. Mr. O'Connell at length came out and said to him "Go away fellow, get out of this." Witness declared that he would not go except he had either the address or the person, and Mr. O'Connell then mentioned that the gentleman was Doctor Kirwan, of the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields, and at the same time stated that he would complain of witness's conduct to Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, with whom he was acquainted. James Giles, the driver of an omnibus, which had been stopped, stated that the mob beat his horses, snatched his whip, and covered him with mud, but he received no hurt. Henry Radcliffe, an officer of the Animals' Friend Society, stated that, having been informed by a gentle man that two fellows were beating a policeman, he ran to the spot and saw the prisoner Donovan on the back of the carriage, kicking a policeman most violently. Mr. O'Connell was, at the time, standing at a window at the Bridge Hotel waving his handkerchief and cheering the mob on. The staffs the mob carried were much bigger than those carrried by the police. Policeman No. 594, stated that he was called to take the prisoners from. the back of the carriage and was kicked most desperately by them, somebody in the carriage having held them firmly. The driver of No. 164 omnibus stated that his vehicle was stopped by the mob, who unbuckled the reins of one of the horses, and covered him (the driver) with mud. The witness Radcliffe said that several of the persons in the procession wore green sashes, with medals at tached. The prisoners both solemnly declared that they never left the back of.the carriage from the moment they left Moorfields till the policeman apprehended them. Alderman PIRIE said that all the prisoners must each of them find two sureties for the sum of 501., and give twenty-four hours' notice of the bail to the City Soli citor, who should have instructions to prosecute them. A man named John Hanby was then put to the bar charged with having seriously assaulted a person named Butt, who was not able to attend in consequence of the injuries he received in the row in Gracechurch-street. Alderman PIRIE told the prisoner that if Mr. Butt should 'die on account of the ill treatment he received, he (prisoner) could be tried for his life. The prisoner, who appeared to be a raw Irishman, said that he was an innocent man, and had been treated most scandalously ; nobody could say he had anything in his hand in the crowd. Policeman No. 515, said that he went up to the place in which Mr. O'Connell's carriage was standing still, and endeavoured to clear the way to let the carriage pass. Witness heard Mr. O'Con nell say "Don't be afraid of him," and suspected that he (witness) was meant. Subsequently, at the Bridge-hotel, a gentleman, who belonged to Mr. O'Connell's company , came out, and threatened to put the city police into the custody of the metropolitan police. Inspector Brette said that the city police had acted with very great propriety and spirit throughout, and numbers of the inhabitants were ready to bear testimony to that fact. Alderman PIRIE said he had every reason to suppose that they deserved the approbation of the inhabitants. Several men with black eyes and bound up heads who stated that they were attacked by the mob, attended, but could not clearly identify their assailants. KINGSTON POLICE. Three men, named George Knowles, Richard Lamb, and James Morgan, were brought before Sir R. Frede rick and R. H. Jenkinson, Esq., at the Town Hall, charged under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Hilditch, the superintendent of the Kingston railway station, that the prisoner Knowles came to the station, and wished to book a place to town, and he tendered a crown piece in payment, which was discovered to be bad, and he was given into custody. Shortly afterwards the prisoner Morgan came to the office, and wished for a place in the train, and he tendered him a counterfeit half-crown, but he discovered the attempted fraud, and almost at the same instant Lamb came up, and tendered another bad half-crown. He called for assistance, and a constable came up, and the prisoners were given into his charge. The superintendent was then about to mark the counter feit coins. When he was about to do so, the prisoner Morgan rushed from the side of the constable, seized the half-crowns, and put them into his mouth, and swallowed them in an instant, in spite of the exertions of the by standers to prevent him from doing so. The prisoners were then taken to the station-house, and on their being searched, a quantity of good shillings were found in their possession. The .MAGISTRATES expressed their surprise at the statement that the prisoner had swallowed the two half crowns, and said they should have thought it impossible for any one to do it. The constable said that the prisoner Lamb had been in custody at Clapham upon a charge of passing bad money, and it was well known that he would make no thing of swallowing six half-crowns, and that he would do so at any time to avoid detection. The MAGISTRATES asked the prisoners what they had to say in answer to the charge, and how they obtained a livelihood ? The prisoner Knowles described himself as a cat& dealer, and the other two said they were labourers. They accounted for having the bad money in their possession by saying they had taken it at the races in a booth. Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, having expressed his opinion that under the circumstance of the case, there would be no chance of a conviction if the prisoners were sent for trial, the Magistrates ordered them to be dis charged. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London Mercantile Journal of June 1.) SUGAR. The home consumption Sugar Market generally has remained in a depressed state, very great reluctance still being manifested by both the grocers and refiners to lay in stock, while the importers, par ticularly of Mauritius and Bengal, are yet very desirous of realising, and continue to press large parcels by public auction. Under present circumstances we do not see any chance of improvement. The sales of West India Muscovado Sugar have been confined to the actual wants of the buyers, for which the importers have ac cepted a further reduction of is to is 6d per cwt in al cases. The market closed very heavily on Friday, and the sales of the week are estimated at 900 hhds and tierces only. The home market being closed for the Whitsun holi days, we had no transactions to-day in West India, Ben gal, or Mauritius. Business, ,however, will be resumed to-morrow. MAURITIUS.--The demand for this description con tinues dull unless at further reduced prices, and 5,633 bags 76 cks brought to public auction on Friday, went quietly, and established a further reduction of is to is 6d per cwt ; low to good yellow at 59s to 645, and brown at 48s 6d to 58s per cwt. FOREIGN.—There is yet little demand for Foreign ,Sugar, and the Market is in a very dull state. 100 chests brown Bahia were offered at public sale, and sold ; good strong grey at 19s to 20s, and good strong brown at 17s 6d to 18s 6d per cwt, which prices are about is below previous rates. EAST INDlA.—Bengal wears a very dull appearance, with a further reduction of is 6d to 2s per cwt. Prices ranged as follows : low brown 50s to 51s, low and mid dling greyish yellow 55s to 58s, good yellow 61s, low and middling white 61s 6d to 635, and good and fine white 64s to 67s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—The market has become dull for Refined Sugar, and the supply . of goods being increased con siderably, prices have given way 2s per cwt ; sales of standard Lumps have been made at 935, and even thereat the grocers have operated with much caution.

Bastards and,pieces are dull, and rather cheaper ; thP fornwr has been selling at 50s to 60s, and t 1 latter 61s to 775. Bonded Crushed Sugar has sold steadily at 30s 6d ; the supply is small.
