This morning ; before his children were up, she pawned their shoes, and bought drink with the money. The LORD MAYOR, addressing the prisoner —Well, I will send you to a place where you will have pure spring water, and I will hear what you have to say to-morrow. Prisoner—Oh, then I shall say just what I do now. Do you think I care about being locked up ? Not I. Then, looking at her husband, she clenched her fist, and said, " Oh, you little willin!" She was then removed from the bar. BOW-STREE7. CHARTIST DISTURBANCES AT PADDINGTON.-Wpt. Greenforth, carpenter, was charged with throwing stones at, and otherwise obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. Policeman T, 72, stated, that in consequence of orders he had received from inspector Black, he, in company. with others, about six o clock last evening, proceeded to clear away a mob of persons from a field near the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington,. who had assembled for the purpose of holding a Chartist meeting. Some stones and dirt were thrown at the policemen, and a gentleman told witness that they came from a certain direction be hind an embankment of fresh earth which had been lately thrown up. Witness proceeded to the spot, and saw the prisoner, and five others, engaged in throwing stones and earth. Was quite positive the prisoner was one of the men. Saw him throw a stone: • The prisoner told a very straightforward story. He had been at work all last week at Mr. Pousford's, of Paddington, and was going there to fetch his tools ; seeing a mob of persons he went round by the embankment to avoid it. He positively denied hair thrown a .stone, or ever having attended a Chartist meeting in his life. 'The policeman must have been mistaken. Thomas Beardon, a respectable carpenter an d a housekeeper, who-until called on had been out of Court, - confirmed the prisoner's statement in every particular. Two other witnesses came forward and gave the prisoner an excellent character for quietnes, honesty, and sobriety. The policeman still persisting in his assertion, Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner till to-morrow. Bail was accepted for his appearance. • William Gardner was then placed at the bar. Inspector Black said that he had just sent away a man who was lecturing the mob, when he felt a blow on his shoulder ; a constable took the man into cus tody. That man was the prisener. The blow was not violent. D 83, saw the prisoner strike the inspector. Three weeks' imprisonment. Several' other persons were sentenced- to various terms of imprisonment, for obstructing the police. THE MEETING AT KENNINGTON COMMON. A great number of prisoners, charged by the police with offences at the meeting, was brought before the sitting Magistrates in the afternoon of yesterday. The following cases will give a'specimen of the offences and the punishments. James Mack, a boy, and Thomas Triptree, a lad, were onvicted for throwing stones ; the former sen ten •ed to a fortnight's, and the latter to a month's imprisonment. John Osborne, a carpenter, was ordered to find two sureties in 101. each, to keep the peace for two months, for hissing and groaning at the Superin tendent of Police, who was on horseback, and inciting the mob to pull him from his horse. Laurence Turner, a carpenter, who was drunk at the time, called out " d—n the police, down with them, hurrah for Kennington ;" was ordered to find two sureties in 51. each, to keep the peace for two months. (He would, probably, have been imprisoned, had he not been drunk.) A little boy, whose name did not transpire, was ordered, to be, imprisoned for three weeks, for throw ing stones at the police. Charles Murray, a shoemaker, was discharged. He was charged with not moving on, when ordered to do so by the police. Amos Weynzan, another drunken man, a labourer, who had two bricks in his hand, which he was about to throw when taken into custody, was ordered to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace for two months. Tubal Cain Hammond, a patten maker, was charged with refusing to move on in the Westminster Bridge road, when ordered to do so by the police. He was discharged. Sylvester Barnes was proved to have thrown brick bats at, and to have struck policemen L 160 and L 50 on the head with them, on Kennington-common, about half-past seven o'clock last night. The prisoner denied the charge, but called no wit nesses, although the policeman said that they had always considered him to bear a good character, and to be an honest, industrious, and quiet man. He was committed for three weeks. John Sterling, a shoemaker, with two club feet, I.yho was drunk, would not leave Kennington-common. He laid hold of the reins of the Superintendent's horse. • He also laid hold of the reins of two of the mounted patrols. He succeeded in unseating one of them. and endeavoured. toget his. sword from him, calling out to the mob to " stand firm," &c. Superintendent Mallalieu said he never saw a man so violent: • • Superintendent M‘Lean (the Superintendent men tioned in our report of the meeting last night as being so very active),, said that the prisoner laid hold of his reins, but he immediately raised his truncheon and let fly at him. He did not know whether he hit the prisoner or not, but he knew he made it tell amongst some of 'em The prisoner was sentenced to one month's impri sonment. William Hiscock, a carpenter, was charged with throwing stones and threatening "to stick" the *ice. Several witnesses were called to character, and .he :was discharged on entering into his own recognizanees in the, sum of 201., and one surety in 101. to keep the peace for two months. Sykes Pring r who was remanded on the charge of wounding police constable Sweeney, by throwing a brickbat at him, was examined before Mr. Twyford and fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ORGANISED SYSTEM OF INFAMOUS EXTORTION.— About ten days ago a highly-respectable gentleman named Churchill was held to bail. by Mr. Maltby, on the evidence of a low-looking person, who gave the name of Wm. Fitzgerald, for an alleged act of inde cency in Hyde Park. Owing to some circumstances which transpired after the parties were hound over, Mr. Maltby was induced to pursue the inquiry fur. ther, and having elicited sufficient to show that in some material parts the only witness, Fitzgerald, had perjured himself, the circumstances were ordered to be taken down in writing, in order to accompany the depositions. One of the old police, Ruthven, was en gaged on the part of Mr. Churchill to follow up the inquiry, and the result was that yesterday Fitzgerald and a young man named Ninvstead were placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby under these circumstances :--- Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for Mr. Churchill, said the Magistrate would probably have it in recollection that Fitzgerald, one of the two parties then at the bar, had a few days back preferred in .that Court - a charge against Mr. Churchill, a very respectable gentleman, and another man, not present, of having been together in Hyde Park the previous night under suspicious cir cumstances. On the evidence of Fitzgerald, the Ma gistrate had thought fit to send the case for trial. Without referring to the fact of Fitzgerald's false repre sentation, in order to stamp his character with respecta bility, that he was a porter in the employ of Me ssrs. Sutton and Shepherd, or relying upon Fitzgerald's otiti, LoN#l'l6V._, • -• • - aeniar of flit koOwledke ut Newstead; lie " should merely remaikthat Mr. Churchill, feelit4,restieSs both in mind body, thought fit to take further steps, ..by which he had obtain such . evidence as he, t 4 hoped Would satisfy the Court That the charge against him was a foul conspiracy, and :pat a gang of persons . were in existence whose emplmment was to get up' and ihanufacture charges of an odious character against respectable persona for the sole purpose of ex torting money. He should 'be enabled to prove that Fitzgerald had been tried at Horsemonger-lane for a criminal offence, and had been sentenced to seven years' transportation. He had made his escape from his sentence, and he (Mr. Clarkson) now charged him with felony on that ground. Now, with respect to the assertion on. the part or Fitzgerald that he knew nothing whatever of Newstead, and had , never seen him until the night when the alleged occurrence.took place in Hyde-park-- Fitzgerald—And I say so now. • before that night. Mr. Clarkson would be able to prove that the par ties were well acquainted; that they had been to gether during the evening, and that they had lived together in the same house in Denzell-street, before the time when Newstead entered into the society of Mr. Churchill, under the sham pretence of asking his way out of the Park. Fitzgerald—l say the man who was in Mr. Churchill's company is nothing like this man ; he is much lustier. I've known that man about two months, but as to knowing anything of this man before the night when I saw him in Hyde-park, I had no more knowledge of him than I have of the Queen of England. Mr. Clarkson—He should call a witness to prove that on one occasion, Fitzgerald said to Mr. Churchill, "The next time you are here I'll have Newstead, the man you was with in the park." Fitzgerald—l said I'd have Macarthy, the lawyer. Mr. Clarkson would also proceed to show that Fitzgerald belonged to an organised and systematic .gang, whose infamous livelihood was procured by trumping up odious charges against respectable per sons. Mr. J. Ellis Churchill was then called and exa mined- 7 -Lived- at No. 44, Great Marlborough-street. Was in the house of Ellis and Everington, St. Paul's Churchyard. Was nephew of Mr. Ellis, the Member for Leicester. After leaving business was in the habit of walking in-. Hyde Park when the evening was fine.. Took a walk about a quarter before nine on the 11th August-in-Hyde Park, and was returning home by the path that cuts . obliquely towards Oxford street,. whep a young man, touching his hat politely, accosted. -htm.• about 300 yards from the gate, and begged to be 'directed the nearest way to the City. Witness gave him, the information, and the young man continued to walk by his side for about 20 yards, when the .other man, itzgerald, came up, and ac cusing witness of indecent conduet, said, " You beast, or brute, what are you doing with that fellow 7 You have been acting indecently." Witness, in a momentof indignation, raised his stick to knock his accuser down. • . Mr. Claiiison:!lad you committed or participated in any indecent act ? Mr. Churchill — Most c ertainl y not. After Fitzgerald ma. l e the charge, he said wit ness must go to the station-housk•_Witness raised his stick to knock Fitzgerald down, upon which the other, one laid hold - - of his arm, and said, :IL of no use, you had better go quietly." Witness answe."4 ",} •see it 'is no use to • make resistance.- I will go w:!" • you." The prisoner Fitzgerald laid hold of witness's cellar, and the other man walked about 20 yards be hind. • Fitzgerald looked back, and said, " That other fellow.appears to keep near to us." When near Mi-. vart's Hotel, witness requested to he allowed to call upon a friend. Fitzgerald said, " Very well, but what security can you give that you will come back?" Witness said, "I have only my stick and a few shil lings." At that moment, seeing a policeman, witness said, " Here is • a policernan, and now here is an end of this:" Fitzgerald appeared desirous of avoiding the police, but seeing witness resolute, he seized wit ness, and dragged him towards the constable. While on their way to the station-house, Fitzgerald told witness he had been watching him about three-quar ters 'of an* hour. Witness was locked up on the charge, and the next day on being brought before the Magistrate, was held to bail. On the same evening, witness gave Fitzgerald into custody for assaulting him in the Park. When leaving the office, Fitz gerald said, in a menacing manner, " You shall have Newstead, the man you were with in the Park, be fore you to-morrow morning." Mr. Clarkson—Now, Mr. Churchill, look at that young man, Newstead, and say if you have the slightest doubt in the world that he is the person who accosted' you in the Park. Mr. Churchill—l have not' the slightest doubt about the matter. The pri soner, Newstead, is the man who spoke to me. •Mr. C. Wallis said he knew Mr. Churchill to be a gentleman a unquestionable respectability. Was present when Rtzgerabl was given into custody for an assault upon Mr. Churchill, and heard him say in a threatening m'inner to Mr. Churchill that he would have Newstml forward the next morning, out of re venge for having been given into custody. He aided, that he had met with Newstead accidentally that af ternoon I never saw him Police constable, E 143, Lister, said ILI heard Fii z gerald use the same expressions. Ellen Thorn lived at 15, Denzell-street. The pri soner Fitzgerald lived in the same house since May last, but went by the name of Stringer. He lived with a man who was committed from Bow-street that day named Fitzgerald. Had seen the prisoner New- • stead frequently in Stringer's company. They used to . go out together. Had seen NeWstead come to • Stringer since last May about three times a week. Witness was certain of Newstead's identity. She did not know his name, but had noticed him on account of his smart dress and gentlemanly appearance. ;Elizabeth Fitzgerald gets her living by selling ,things in the street. The young man at Bow-street this day was her son. The prisoner Fitzgerald was no relation whatever. Had given the prisoner Fitz gerald a character, when he was tried for taking a purse from regentleman's footman at Camberwell, at • Horsemonger-lane. The prisoner was transported for seven Jearalunder the name of Stringer. This was about four years ago. He came back last March, and stated that his time had been given up on account of his good behaviour. When witness saw him at the Court this morning, she asked him how he came to take her son 'e name. He said her son and he had always passed as , brothers. He then added if witness told his real name he should be done. Mr. Clarkson asked'the old woman if she would place herself under the care of an officer, to prevent her from being tampered with . bet'ore trial. The wit . neSs 'Consented. • Policeman 31 heard the conversation with Stringer, relative •to his being "done," if his real name was disclosed. Frederick. Clark lived in Broad-street, Golden= square. Knew both prisoners well. Saw then . ' in company on the 11th of August, at six o'clock, near Charing-cross. ,There were other persons with them. Witness knew tl;em all. Knew the young man—he went by all sorts of ,names, one of them was New 7 stead. The other prisoner sometimes went by the name of ". bales Bill." The two prisoners were as sociates. Had been in their company frequently. . NeWstead—Why. he is one of us. He robbed a gentleman, named Bell, of a gold watch and ring in. Hyde Park. Mr. Clarkson-r-How - came you to know this ?. Newstead--I :know: it right w( , 11. . • . Mr. Clarkson—Your career, young man, is now cut short. Newstead—Then so ought this man's to be ; he is the worst of any of the lot. Mr. Clarkson begged to mention that Mr. Churchill' was desirous of exonerating Inspector Plume from all blame in objecting to send for proper assistance when the charge was first brought to the station-house. Mr. Churchill begged to thank the officers for the *ready assistance which he hid met with. Mr. MALTBY said he could bear testimony to the good conduCt of Inspector Plume. Thomas Davis, town traveller, knew the prisoners were associates. Newstead *sometimes went by the name of Smith. . Mr. Clarkson said here he would stop, having, as he hoped, produced abundant evidence to induce the .Magistrate, for the furtherance of justice, to secure the persons of the prisoners. Mr. MALTBY—On what charge ? Mr. Clarkson—That they, with a criminal purpose, went together into Hyde Park, one to plant himself on Mr. Churchill, and the other to find the parties together, in order to charge them with the attempt to commit an odious offence, and by this means to extort money from Mr. Churchill. Had they sue- . ceeded in- - obtaining any money, it would have un doubtedly been'. robbery ; but, as they only to )k Mr. Churchill into custody, it amounts to an assault with an intent to commit robbery. Mr. MALTBY—At some period or other? .• Mr. Clarkson—Yes; and if you think enough has been shown to induce you to , send the case to a Jury, I shall . ask you to remand Fitzgerald, a returned transport, the man who made the charge against Mr. Churchill, which charge has :been submitted to the public, until I can have an opportunity of completing the evidence. Mr. Churchill's character would have been destroyed had it not been for the vigilance of the officers.- We want•to take care . 'that Fitzgerald 'ha's the means of making his charge againStMr.Churchill.' Fitzgerald--I have no charge to make. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoners if they wished to say anything. Fitzgerald answered in the negative, And Newstead began to criminate the witnesses. Mr. MlTwx• said the association of the prisoners was clearly proved, and he should therefore remand them till Friday next. " And here (said Mr.,Maltby) . I will take the opportunity of expressing the. deep satisfaction I feel at the shape the case has taken, and the' ample means which. possesses of - , .; At (l irt ltt' GM' 24, 194 t vindicating his charactir ;'ruinwhat I tro,V belicfc't*l• be a completely unfound4 charge. It was only N— ome the roans of the law had been completed that l was (Marred from releasing Air. Churchill en th, former 'occasion from the charge.—The prisoner were then remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE.-_. James Warren, a little ragged felloW, Was broughi up by llestock,one of the officers of the Meadieity Society, charged with begging in the streets, anri annoying the passengers. The boy stated .tilat his mother is ; dead, that hi- . father is 'employed in a gas works and earning 25'6..4 week, but taking. it woman into the house to liv. , with him, he and his sister were turned out to beg. He went to the workhouse, but they would not ad mit him. Mr. BURRELL ordered one of the officers to take him again to the workhouse, when he was admitted, and measures are being taken to compel the father to support him. • Lucy Yardley, -a married woman, residing in White Lion-street, Chelsea, charged her landlord with an assault. She, it appeared, had gone into her room, and barred the door, when. he burst it open, and commenced throwing her furniture about ; on her attempting to save her things, he caught her by the neck, and after striking her several severe blows on the head.and side, he threw her down stairs. She stated that she was severely injured. A' Witness proved having seen the assault com mitted. _ _ _ The landlord, on being called upon for his defence, said that on his demanding three weeks' rent due, and threatening, in the event of her not paying, to padlock her door, she scratched his face, and, in self defence, he had thrust her out of the house. lie could bring forward no witness, and The MAGISTRATE fined him 405., or one month's imprisonment. UNION-HALL Every avenue leading to Union-hall Police Court was crowded by a mob of men, women, and boys, As early as eight o'clock this morning, waiting in full expectation for the arrival of the prisoners taken intri custody last night on Kennington-common, for nt, structing the police in their duty, and creating dis turbances. They were doomed to be disappointed, as all thr , charges will be investigated before the Magistrates a Bow-street. Findi n g th a t their friends who were iv.; custody did not make their appearance, they vented their spleen on the police,_ by hissing and shouting ni every one that passed. Several men were taken into custody, and held to bail for their future conduct. THE ORIGIN OF THE TURN-OUT TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 'Sig—We find in your paper of the 19th ult. a let tcr,of Messrs. Bayley, of Staleybridge, which letter you state to have been addressed to one of the local papers. Now, as this. letter of William Bayley and Brothers, and other letters of a like description have gone the round of the public press, and as the inhabi tants of Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge know the . real facts of the case, so they know this letter of Messrs. Bayley to be a base fabrication as to tfireal truth of the matter, and written expressly for th&pur pose of misleading the public. 'William Bayley and Brothers state in their letter that they only offered- a reduction of one halfpene • per piece, which. was only one half the reductii;;! which had been made by others, and this reduction, the : state, they offered, because they found they were paying L ,,, ,he! wages - than others for similar descrip tions a croth. :Now any candid reader may see that William Bayley an4-..l3,:Athrwirpthers are disguising the ese they . would have "- real truth. of the case e+ given the exact price they pain :lel: piece for different kinds of cloth, and the price other in asters paid per -piece for similar kinds of cloth, as we did in the Man ehe.ster and Salford Advertiser of the instant. We will here give a specimen of prices paid by three different masters, before the present reduction was of. fered by Bayley's firm, by which your readers may form their own opinion :—Paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72 reed, - 27 inches, 29 yards, 76 picks, l I+l per piece ; paid by Messrs. Raynor, 72 reed, 27 inches, 29 yards, 76 picks, llid. per piece; paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72 reed, 36 inches, 88 picks, 121 d. per piece ; paid by Messrs. Bayley and 'Brothers, .72 reed, 36 inches, 88 picks, • 12d. per piece. Thus you. see . that Messrs. ,Bayley commenced a new- reduction of wages of - one halfpenny per piece, • according to their oivn statement, as to the amount of the redac tion, when, at the same time, paying one farthing per piece less than other masters, as set forth in the above specimen of prices, before they offered this new re duction. And we can prove that Messrs. Buckley. of Moseley, in the immediate vicinity of Staleybridge are paying •124 d. per piece for the same kind of cloth as what Bayley's are havimr: worked for 101-d. per piece. We now leave the lying monster of 'Nat= Bayley to writhe out of the difficulty he has brought upte] both himself and millions of our fellow creatures.

CARLISLE, AUGUST 22, 1842.—F0r some days past the Chartist part of the working population of. city have been in a state of considerable agitation, and most anxious to take part in the movement going. on "in Lancashire and Yorkshire. . They have hail nightly meetings in Calden-gate—a suburb in which, the . greater portion of them reside—since Monday last, at which extracts from The Sun and other papers have been read, descriptive or the - agitation in the dis turbed districts. The queStion of a strike was mooted On Saturday night and last night;` but those unac quainted with the movements behind the curtain. imagined that all idea of joining in the, turn-out had been abandoned especially from the speeches of last night. This, however, was not the intention of the leaders; and this morning, three out of four • of the •cotton mills turned out. partly by coercion, a n d partly voluntarily. the principal movers being the hand-loom neavers In the course of the morning a large body of the turn. outs went to Dalston, a village about five miles dis. tant, where there are two cotton and one flax mill and compelled the hands to turn out. At an early hour this morning the Magistrates me• in the Town-hail, and issued a caution similar t( those which have been published by other Ma,gistratQs. They then despatched- a messenger to Lieutenant. Colonel - Ibsen, Dalemain, requesting him to forwart the troops of • Cumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, undo; - his command, and they. are expected to be here withii An hOur. Special constables were sworn in, and ever precaution taken to meet any tumult that might occur At this time (five o'cloCk, P.si.) all is quiet. -WOINLAN IN a TRANCE.—On Monday mornlyr -01'6 18th ult.; an igeed widow, named Betty Butterworth of Wolstenhotrue Fold, Spotland, near Rochdale, after eating a h e arty•hreakfast, lay down•and fell fast-asleep, and continued m that state until the Friday . following, tii attempts to awake her in the mean time haring proved unavailing.

They do not resume their avocations so willingly as we anticipated. Statesmanship may probably be more efficacious completely restoring tran quillity than the military and the police. Let us have a general ainnesty, and let the soldiery be removed: Let it be remembered; that if the working classes have inflicted, they have suffered many injuries. Forgiveness Must come from them as well as their, superiors. Let what ha passed, then, be forgotten as soon as possible, except its e►nphatic warning. Nlrhat can possibly be got by substituting terror for kindness I An organised military force nycked by a police, and supported by the gentry must succeed, we admit, against an unarmed trio k; but what will be gained by success? Lie gallows may have its victims, but incendiarism Nvili not therefore be.extinguished, nor will pro. perty be secure.

Trade cannot thrive under the gleam of bayo nets, and there is an immense danger at hand in trying the scheme. Across the Atlantic is an independent and free people, speaking our Itna guage, who open their arms to our artisans, ma chinists, and capitalists; who promise them pro tection, and ensure them the remunerative eni liloyment of providing for an ever-increasing pu : pulatiou. Other countries besides America ark ,ready to invite our skilful workmen to curie! them by their labours. Hitherto internal peace and freedOni—the power of the manufacturers to regulate their Own concerns, which is not pos sessed in other countries—have given a pre-etni nence to Britain ; rob her of those advantages, convert her towns into camps, and her Govern ment into a centralized military despotism, anc you will lay the axe to the root of her greatness We believe that a military Government may succeed here as in France, and as in- Russia, in subduing all individual independence under it ; but is it worthy of any British statesman to re- duce his country to the level of Russia anti France?, We sely, however, more on the puiblit than on any individual; and we put it calmly buy Te .earnstly to all cLassesi what,will they gain b 3 England'from a Nvorkshop into a bar rack ? Vi; • gave an account :sterday, furnished our OWn reporters, Of the meeting at Kenning, ~u-common on Monday, and of the violent conduct the polie4 towards an unarmed multitude. As the violence of the police seemed so totally inexplicable,. we• suspected there might be some exaggeration, and therefore modified the report till we could ..seertairr - whether the eir(thm.' , stances were:so ba repres;thled. 1:FrOla : V'firipus 'parties We irow learn with regret that . the account given of the violene. used by these preservers of the ,public peace was not at all exaggerated ; but, on the contrary, (lid net come-up to the whole' glen,-women, and chil dren- were thrthyn dow-n by the Tgalloping of the. Mounted pol icemen; persons were severely beat( n by the police constables, without the slightest grounds for 'such a wanton assault; and even some of -the Men - themselves were • knocked (roWn* in the furious charge made" by their :mounted Superintendents. While a gentleman belonging to this office -wss,walking quietly along, suspecting no danger, a policeman came behind him with his baton, unawares, struck him, and knocked him down. A Su perintendent or Inspector came galloping upon -him at that moment, and it was only by a miracle that he ..escaped being .trampled to death. We have froth at least seven . persons accounts of si milar outrages, all of them committed without the slightest provocation, or even -warning. This is not merely cruel and disgraceful conduct, it is dangerous to the peace of: the community, and if per sisted in, will render• this new police force the most obamzioys body . ever constituted to preserve public order. It appears, besides, to have been totally uncalled for. There was no violence used by the people, and no confusion or disturbance, till a general assault was made by some thousand policemen on about four times the number of unoffending men. women, and children:. We will make no further remarks on this painful subject at present, from a hope and 'belief and the Home Government will institute a niqu.ty ; • bring the guilty parties to eondigit piatils.hthrld; Other Journals also notice the viokiret , of the araied force. The Tory Post state thtit the made.- a. general charge, and several persons were.knoeked flown in attempting to escape.

Such a mode of , action is not at all calculated to gain for a civil force the merit of being operated upon ,by a cool and unimpassioned sense of duty. Besidei,, tt er, oas 111 fact, nothing to warrant a sort of running at tack:npoit the. idle and curious.. It may be good policy to coOl.down the ardour of the political incendiaries and rogues aid:vap bonds who assemble on such an concession, bur thil4 is to be done rather by clever tactics and determined firmness; tem pered by moderation, than by the very hurried, somewhat immoderate, and impolitic way in which the thorOugh-' fares in the vicinity of the common were cleared by the police )yesterday evening. We believe that a few cases of slight resistance to the police on the part of several Chartists and some obstinate and foolish spectators oc curred ; that a few fellows were taken into custody ; and that a number of persons will have reason 'to re member the policemen's ,batens. There was au:over whelining police force in requisition, sidfi‘;ient.iniced to have held 'recheck all the Chartists in and witltin 100 miles of the metropolis. Acts of . Parliament, as has . been often observed, are by no means remarkable for conciseness and per spicuity of language. Generally speaking, theikprin cipal object seems to be, to convey the least possible . quantum of meaning in the largest possible quantum of verbiage. As the Dutch ladies of old, according to the amusing historian, KNICKERBOCKER, used to envelope their persons in ten or a dozen pairs of petticoats, so in the majority of our Acts, of Parlia.; ment, the simplest facts, which might be sufficiently, explained in a line, are not unfrequentiy. encumbered by at least a dozen. sentences...-to say nothing of clauses, riders, and such like supplemental nuisances, which serve 'no other purpose than to teaze, perplex, and mystify. This is particularly the case as regards the Income-tax. Act, which—if o 13.! scurity be a source of the sublime—is certainly among: the sublimest prose compositions in the language,: and every Way worthy of that Minister who told his ." faithful Commons " 'the other day, that the guiding principle of his legislation was a generous love of fame ! We have made many at tempts to fathom the meaning of this most enigmatical, Act, but hitherto with but very indifferent success--= and no wonder ; for even its framers seem lielleetly aware of its unintelligible character, and accordingly refer all those who may be in the same blessed state 1 of ignorance as ourselves, to their respective' local Assessors, who are • enjoined to play the part of schoolmasters on the occasion, and, " teach the young idea how to pay!" see also by several- advertisements in the daily journals, that certain gifted individuals, who, like cats, can see in the dark—that is to say, can grope their way even through the Cimmerian gloom of an Act of Parliament—undertake to explain all the mysteries of the Income-tax Act for the'small charge of one•shilling, discreetly: adding, however, that this Charge will be raised in proportion to the time employed in explanation. now complimentary 'is this fact to the clear and lucid' understandings of those who drew up the notable Act in question ! One` would actually suppose that they had drawn it up in Sanscrit, . and needed the aid of dragomans or inter :)reters, to make its meaning obvious to the — ffiblic,! Te understand that people are rushing in all di rections, in order to seek g solution of this financial Conundrum, and that there is scarcely an Assessor in the metropolis who cannot boast of as many pupils as Doctor HAWTREY of•Eton. .For our own parts, we ore hOpeless of ever being able to discover any other meaning in the Income-tax Act than just this— namely, Ministers want money, and Ministers will have it! The whole of the Paris papers have been received, accompanied by the usual continental advices. The ChaMber of Deputies, having terminated its sitting on Saturday, politics have of course ceased to be a tea tare. There-is equally, a dearth. of other news,' M.
