EVENIisTG EDITION. may have been swayed by the best intentions possible. Their motives may have been just, even when their con duct and policy was erroneous, but I contend, and so will every wise and honest man, that however wise they are, and however benevolent they are, it is impossible that 24 men, circumstanced as the Court of Directors are, their time being divided between their banking business, their merchandise, and the management of more personal and interesting affairs, it is impos sible that these men can either know India or be capable of legislating upon enlightened principles re garding it. And the fact is notorious that where even some trifling information exists, these gentlemen have to be dependent upon a very few educated and enlight ened men, who, having been connected with the esta blishment for years, are competent to the preparation of despatches, and are the authors of those letters which control the destinies of millions, but the contents of which are not permitted to transpire until the Secret Committee and the President of the Board of Control sanction their being given to the light of day.—(Hear, hear.) Let these gentlemen still exert their wisdom— let them still exercise their watchfulness in guarding the interests of India ; but were they with all their hearts and souls, and mind and strength, to be em ployed in carrying out the principles which the circum stances and exigencies of that empire demand, there would be still much left undone, and this duty would belong to us, for we are neither authorized, considering our relation to man nor our relation to Gad, to com mit to any body of men the wants, the claims, and the necessities of 100,000,000 of our fel low subjects !—(Loud cheers.) To remedy this great defect—to supply, although late, this lack of duty to India, we have entered the field, and a few humble but resolute and honest men have come forward to dis abuse the public mind in reference to that vast empire. I have been struck with nothing more during my short life than with the ignorance that everywhere exists res pecting India. Nobody knows anything of the land-tax, or of the salt monopoly, except a few manufacturers of North Cheshire. No one knew anything of the opium trade until the Rev. A.S. Thelwall revealed it in a book just published. No one knows that there is locked up in the Company's chest 9,000,000/. of wealth in specie, which would be most acceptable to another es tablishment in Threadneedle-street at the present mo ment.—(Cheering and laughter.) Nobody knows that notwithst..nding we have possessed India for 60 years, and that there are in rarious parts of the country the materials for road-making, that many of the Government officers, in travelling post, can go at no speedier rate than 3 or 4 miles per hour—(Laughter)—and that they are borne on men's shoulders through jungles and rivers, and morasses, half devoured by ravenous insects.— (Laughter.) Lord BIiOUGHANI-I thought you would not have so marry. Mr. THOMPSON--No one knew that at the time when we were pleading the cause of the fettered slaves in the West Indies, that as many human beings died in India during the period of that struggle as were liberated by our efforts in the %Vest Indies ; and yet such was the fact. In a land were the Ganges and the Jumna reflect the rays of a tropical sun—in a land which might be the granary of the world, where a wooden ploughshare turns up the earth, and the beauties of heaven are lavishly dis played—in that land of gold and spices —of gems and wealth—amidst the wafflings of an industrious population —there died of hunger 500,000 human beings under the walls of Agra. When, some time ago, I had the honour of 'canvassing with your Lordship on the subject of this meeting, we had our fears whether a dozen persons could be interested in the affair. Who knew before to-day that there are millions of acres of the finest soil, which the natives cannot obtain except on terms that would render them the victims of the money-lender? Who knew that when the brother of Lord Glenelg, Sir Robert Grant, made a grant to the cultivators of Bombay to take certain lands, and cultivate them for the production of the Mauritius sugar-cane and the finer kinds of cotton—who knew that when thus encouraged the husb a ndman went to wor k, and sent som e o f th e fiest specimens of Indian produce ever exhibited into this country? Who knew that the Court of Directors, when they heard of this measure, instantly sent out a despatch, and obliged the Governor, in unutterable distress and degradation, to rescind his former proclamation, and calling on those who occupied lands so granted to give them up, and restore the soil of India to the tenant that had possessed it before, the jackal and the vulture and the boa constrictor?—(Cheers.) Who in this meeting knew before to-day, until they beard it from the lips of the Noble and Learned Chairman, or the eloquent Member for Dublin, that the practical effect of the land-tax system is to take from 60 to 90 per cent. of the produce ? Call it by what name you please, the effect is the same. It is dispossessing the rightful owner—it is snatching from the children of India the inheritance which God has granted—it is stretching a robber-hand over another man's country— it is laying claim to that which only might can give us. Who ever knew, until this hour, that we had made our . selves the owners of every inch of this extended coun try, and were taking from the right owner the last grain that he could grow, leaving him to borrow money for the seed, and money for subsistence, until the sun should ripen the coming crop ?—(Cheers.) Is it not right that these things should be known everywhere ? Who is to make them known? Will the East India Company make them known ? I know there are those who say, leave these matters to the Hon. Directors. Let that man leave them to the Hon. Directors, who can lay his band on his heart, and In do of ofhit Maker, say," When I thus leave them to the Directors, I leave them on the sure and certain hope that they will be attended to, and, as I expect to meet my brother at the awful bar of retribution, so firmly do I believe that I have nothing to do in the matter."—(Cheers.) Is there such another Cain in this room to-day, who impiously replies to the groans and sighs, and the hungry demands of famishing and op pressed millions—" Am I my brother's keeper?"— (Cheers.) If such a man there be, let him stand forth. I am and will be hi s o p pon ent—(Great cheering)—and wben those who can do it better shall be obliged to hold, I will take up the gauntlet and contend with that man, that God has made every man my neighbour, and if there be one . man more my neighbour than another, it is not he who is clothed in purple and fine linen, and fares sumptuously every day, who with friends and connections, and station, and eloquence, and power can vindicate himself, but the attenuated, naked, tawny outcast in a distant land—(Great cheering)—who cries from the land of absolute despotism to the island of benevolence and freedom, Come over and help me ! (Continued cheers.) Now, my Lord, it is to rally round this new standard the friends of justice and truth and good Government that we are assembled here to-day. You have assisted us to unfurl that banner. In your presence, and on behalf of those with whom. I am associated in this cause, I disclaim utterly from the core of my heart, all connections with party, all desire to propagate a particular faith, all mercenary interested i motives, in the plan that we are now prosecuting. We desire to place this Society upon the broad and Catholic principles which you yourself, my Lord, so eloquently expounded in the opening of this day's proceedings. Here is his Highness, the Nabob of Oude, ready to second the resolution for the formation of such a Society.— (Cheers)—through which, another year, we promise to make these things known ; and while we hope ourselves to be justly dealt with, to avoid calumniation, to avoid impugning the motives of others, we shall be anxious to pursue a straightforward and fearless course, boldly telling all we know, and all we fear respecting India, and we believe that we shall be the friends of man kind at large while we do this, We seek by the adoption of such a course, not simply the benefit of India, but the benefit of the world. When will the fetters of the slave in America be broken —when will republican slave-holders, the worst and vilest in the world—(Cheers)—when will the men who hoist the cap of liberty with one hand, and flourish the scourge with the other —who place one foot on the declaration of rights which they have signed, and another upon the neck of the coloured man —when will these be turaed from their evil ways ? Not when treaties shall be signed, and remonstrances shall be written, and pathetic appeals shall be made to their consciences, but when they shall be starved from their course, when the free labour of the 100 .000,000 of India shall compete with the compen sated labau r of the 4 ,000 000 in the valley of the Missis sippi and on the plains of the Carolinas—(Cheers)—then it shall be done. When the Bombay cotton—when the indigenous cotton of India shall, in the Liverpool market, undersell theirs, then shall constrain them t o d o that which justice and religion .seek in vain at their hands to-day (Chee ) And if there be any here who earn their literally by the sweat of their brow, I appeal to them —let them not say that we are carrying our philanthropy mallet, and that we ought to maiEeit at home.

POLICE - INTELLIGENCE. MARYEEBONE. ALLEGED INDECENT ASSAULT—DEATH OF THE ACCUSER. --A case of a very extraordinary nature came before Mr. CHAMBERS, the sitting Magistrate, on Saturday, the par ticulars of which are as follow : A person, of very gentlemanly exterior, who described himself as Ochterlony Dyce Sombre, and who was said to be a colonel in the Indian service, was brought up, having been taken to the station-house the previous night, charged with exposing his person to two females, i. e. Jannett Caldwell and Jannett Alexander. Mr. Dyce Sombre dined on Friday at Mr. M‘Dowell's, 46, Portland-place, and left that gentleman's house at about half-past eleven, stopping at the corner of. Wey mouth-street, for a particular purpose. Two females passed him ; and, according to the statement of Jannet Caldwell, be committed the offence imputed to him, on which she immediately called the police, and gave him into cus tody. She gave evidence to this effect to the sergeant of the night, Mr. Dyce Sombre strenuously and utterly denying the principal assertion. After she had made her statement she complained of giddiness, and was accom modated with a seat, from which, a moment afterwards, she fell, as was supposed, in a fit. Mr. Clark, a surgeon, re siding in the vicinity, was called in, and she shortly recovered. She attributed the illness to excitement, and to having drank porter on an empty stomach. Medicine to alleviate flatulency was administered, which, however, she was unable to retain; she, how. ever, recovered sufficiently to go home to her lodg ings, 54, Weymouth-street; when there she unfortu. nately relapsed, but between two and three fell into a deep sleep. On reawaking the alarming symptoms increased, and at six o'clock on Saturday morning she was a corpse. Mr. Clark was again called in, but, unfortunately, not until life was extinct. Her relatives attribute her death to the shock and excitement experienced by the conduct of the person she placed in custody. Ochterlony Dyce Sombre was brought up to the named office o ffi ce on Saturday morning. w hen the particulars above detailed were stated to the Magistrates. Jannett Alexander, aged 43, deposed that she was with the deceaie, but as her back was towards the prisoner, she could not affirm that be had exposed his person. The prisoner, in explanation, said that he was obeying a necessity of nature when the deceased came up and abused him for the locality he had chosen for his purpose. Lord Combermere and Mr. M'Douall attended, and were prepared to give bail to any amount, but as the woman Alexander could not swear to any exposition, there was no case against the plisoner, who was liberated upon giving his promise to appear when (or if) required by the Coroner. Considerable excitement prevailed in the. neighbourhood, and information was immediately forwP,rded to the Coro ner, who instantly issued his warrant to hold an inquest this day. A warrant was also directed to Mr. Clark, to make a post mortem examination of the body ; that gentleman ac cordingly repaired to 24, W eyinouth-street, in the first floor of which house the unfortunate woman bad lodged, and where her body now remains, but the relations refused him admission to the room. The door was finally forced, and Mr. Clark, in company with Mr. Joseph, another medical practitioner in Marylebone, made an examination. The deceased was about 54 years of age, and, we believe, a spinster; she was of a full habit, and bad been, as her relatives affirm, in perfect health up to Friday night ; she was not subject to fits, nor indeed, had they ever known her to suffer any malady, them a paternal Government, and if for the present it must be absolut e an d d es p o ti c ; l e t it b e wise , l e t it be kind, and until they shall have representatives able and willing on their own broad plains, to advocate their cause, do you, my friends, who are of the sex of him who speaks to you, and you who are of the other and more kindly sex, more steady and true to the cause of charity and benevolence—let us one and all, whether artisans, agriculturists, shopowners, or a hatever con dition we may fill—let us unite in this work, and then shall India smile, and then shall ajuster system take the place of the present grinding and impolitic one—then shall a permanent tax over the country take off the incubus from soil and give a spring to age icultural en terprise—tben shall the cabin be furnished—then shall the human frame IT clothed—then shall the Ganges roll on from year to year and the moon shine upon her waters from age to age without ever receiving or beholding from the arms of a mother a single infant thrown into the waters, that it may not stiffen and die in the maternal embrace. Then shall come back to the country the blessings of them that are ready to perish, and our own wea lth, an d our own stability as an em pire, and our own increasing honour and righteousness in the estimation of the world, and the favour of Al mighty God, and that which is reward enough for any of us, and all o f us , th e a pp ro bation of our consciences —then shall these things be our remuneration for what ever of service, of sell-denial, or sacrifice we may make in this hallowed enterprise.—(Continued cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said he had always great pleasure in listening to Mr. Thompson, who was the most eloquent man and the most accomplished orator whom he knew, and as he had no opportunity of hearing him where he ought to speak, inside the walls of Parliament—(Loud cheers)—he was anxious never to lose an opportunity of hearing him where alone he could, in public meeting, like the present. Lord Brougham then left the Chair, which was taken by Sir C. FORBES. JOSEPH PEASE, Esq., then moving thelfollowing reso lution : " That the fervent thanks of this Meeting be given to the Right Honourable Lord Brougham for his conduct in the Chair, and for his Lordship's eloquent exposition of the object for the promotion of which we have this day associated." Major-General BRIGGS seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation, and his Lordship then re tired amidst loud cheers. HENRY BLANSHARD,ESq., in moving the appointment of a Committee, alluded to the system of slavery which exists in India, which, he remarked, was not altogether to be attributed either to this country or to the East India Company, for it existed in those parts which had come the latest into our possession. Mr. Baber had described them as slaves to" the remotest posterity ; that their ser vice was one of unmitigated severity ; that by the ancient laws of Malabar a master might punish his slave with death without being accountable to any person ; that they were frequently subjected to most rigorous punishment ; that the nearest ties of relationship were disregarded and torn asunder ; the kidnapping of free children was carried on to a frightful extent, and the average selling price of the men of the agrestic classes did not exceed 245., a woman 18s., a boy 10s., and a girl 7s. 6d. This was, of course, the first thing to which the atten tion of the Society would naturally be directed.-- ( Hear, hear.) Major-General BRIGGS stated that his Highness the Nabob of Oude would second the resolution. His Highness was not able to express himself in the English language, but he would, with the permission of the meeting, address them in that sonorous and extremely beautiful language, the Persian—( Hear, hear)—and he (Major Briggs) would endeavour to convey that ad dress to the meeting in English. The Nabob of OUDE then addressed the meeting in the Persian language, which was interpreted by Major General Briggs as follows—l feel exceedingly grateful to this assembly for having met together for such an object. I express that gratitude as well for the people of India as for myself, because the object they have in view is the bettering the condition of my countrymen, who are re moved from this country at the distance of 1,000 miles. It is a matter of deep regret to me that up to the pre sent period, notwithstanding there are immense multi tudes of my countrymen in India suffering from extreme oppression, that from ignorance or some other circum stance so little attention has been paid to them by the inhabitants of this country.—(Hear, hear.) lam as tonished at the indifference manifested in regard to In dian subjects by the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) I have travelled a good deal in England ; I went last year over Scotland ; I have been in Ireland, Belgium, and France : and from all the observations I have made in those countries I am compelled to say, on looking back to my country men, that there are no description of people who from their obedience, their fidelity, and their re gard to institutions, are so much entitled to your care and attention as the people of India.—( Hear, hear.) There are none more entitled to your consideration.— ( Hear, hear.) Ido not consider them inferior in point of intelligence, or industry, or enterprise, even as mer chants (where they have sufficientleft to enable them to traffic), and it is a matter of astonishment and regret to me that persons who come here from India are treated as a debased race, and that they should recei ve so little consideration f rom the English people. (Hear, hear.) Many who have made constant applications to the Government in India for justice, find themselves at last driven to this country, to seek that justice which was denied to them in India.—( Hear, bear.) We come to this country to endeavour to ob tain it here, but nobody listens to us. And yet where are we to go—to whom are we to appeal'? We must come among you, we must throw ourselves on you for justice. I have spent my fortune in endeavouring to obtain it ; and now, after having remained here a con siderable time, I find I am completely discarded, and am referred hack to the Government of India. But I trust a noble and a great people, as the English are, will see that justice is done to us.—(Loud cheers.) JOSEPH PEASE, Esq., moved, and JOHN CRAWFORD, Esq., seconded a vote of thanks to " the Benevolent father of India," Sir Charles Forbes, which was agreed to with acclamation. THE SUN, LONDON, AIONDAY, JULY 8, 143 t IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 6. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'Clock, On the motion of Mr. GROTE, the Carlow EleCtioh CoMmittet obtained leave to sit, notwithstanding the sitting of the HoUstt. Sir M. WOOD presented a pttitiOn from the Anti-Bridge-Toll Association, pray ing the House to take means for effecting the opening of the Metropolitan Bridges. He moved that it be printed, AS he intended to call the attention of the House to It upon a future occasion. On the motion of Mr. F. MAULE, the Hou-e went into Com mittee on the Factories Bill. Lord ASHLEY complained of the conduct of the Government upon this Bill. At ten o'clock this morning, he had received se veral long amendments which he had not had time even to glance at. That was altogether evading the wholesome rule of giving notice of amendments which were intended to be proposed. Mr. FOX MAULE said it was not his fault that the proposed amendments had not been in the hands of Members at an earlier If the Noble Lord objected to going on with them this day, they might be postponed for future consideration, On clause 18 being read, Sir J. GRAHAM objected to it, as it gave the Inspectors such large discretionary powers on the subject of education. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the elause was intended to obviate the difficulties which had hitherto existed on the subject of educa tion in factories. Care would be taken that proper persons were appointed as Inspectors. Mr. LANGDALE proposed to add to the clause the folkwing words : Provided always that no such rules as aforesaid, nor such approval of Inspector as of resaid, shall authorise the education of any chill in su h school in any religious creed other than that pro. fessed by the parents or surviving parent of such child, or in ease of orpha is, to which theguardian or godfather or godmother, of such orphan shall object. Mr. COLQUHOUN opposed the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it very important to have a regula tion of this kind, because if there were not a stop would be put to all education, as many parties could not send their children to the National Schools on account of the Ca•echisin being taught there. Mr. LANGDALE considered the prov,so as so very important that he would divide the House upon it, and if defeated, he would take the sense of the House upon it on every future stage of the Bill. Mr. SLANEY thought as they differed about mere words, and both were anxious for the same principle, would it not be better that they should postpone the clause. It was, indeed, a most im portant one. If the clause were carried as it stood it would be a great practical grievance upon the Catholics, and he hoped time for consideration would be given. Sir JAMES GRAHAM suggested that the proviso should be altered so that no child should be educated in any religious creed, against the declared wish of the parent, or adopted parent. He thought those words would meet all the difficuities, The t lause as amended by Sir James Graham was then agreed to, and the Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill. On Chose 19 being put which gave legislative power to the In spectors to require such an account of the work done in a factory, and the persons employed as he might think necessary, Lord STANLEY objected to the clause, and moved as an amend ment—That registers should be kept by the occupier of every fac tory, according to the form in the schedule to the Act annexed. Mr. M. PHILLIPS objected to the clause, as arbitrary and un. called for. Mr. BAINES objected to the clause. Mr. F. MA ULE thought that no good could be effected by de. priving the inspectors of the power of making regulations for fac tories. As the law at present existed the Inspectors could make rules for one factory one day, and rescind them the next, but by the present Bill the rules laid down by the, inspectors must be uniform. Mr. BRISCOE objected to the clause. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it would be impolitic to lay down a strict rule to be followed by the inspectors, because the re sult of that would be that the provisions of the Act would be conti nually violated, and Parliament would have to be appealed to con stantly to amend the provisions of the Act. The amendment was then agreed to. Mr. N. PHILLIPS moved to strike out the latter part of the clause, giving the power to the Inspector to require the occupier of a factory to send to him any information with relation to the per sons employed and the work done, which he might deem necessary for the performance of his duties. Mr. F. MAULE objected to the motion. Mr. BOLLING thought the Inspectors should only have the power of making extracts from the registry. Mr. BRISCOE thought the latter part of the clause necessary. Mr. F. INIAULE was surprised that the objection should come from those who professed to he the children's friend. Lord ASHLEY thought the clause ought to remain in its pre. sent state. Mr. W PATTEN moved as an amendment to the clause—That the inspectors should have the power of making extracts from Ow registry. After a desultory conversation, strangers were ordered to with draw, but no division took place, Mr. W. Patten withdrawing his amendment. On the motion of Mr. F. MAULE the following words were added to the clause—" that no information sent by the occupier of any factory shall be admissible in evidence against him, or in any proceeding for the recovery of a penalty." Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved as an amendment that any in formation required by Parliament should be defrayed by the Treasury. Mr. F. MAULE objected to the amendment, which was with. drawn. The clause as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clause 20, regulating the whitewashing of factories, was agreed to, after a few verbal amendments. Clause 21 was postponed at the suggestion of 111 r. A GLIONBY. On clause 22 being proposed, which provided for the appointment of Inspectors, Mr. W. PATTEN mewed as an amendment that the Inspectors should be compelled to reside in the district ever which they pre. sided. Sir JAMES GRAHAM suggested the postponement of the clause until after the Committee had decided upon the 23d clause, relative to the appointment of sub.inspectors. He thought it would be far better to increase the number of inspectors, and have no sub_ inspectors at all. Mr. P. THOMSON thought it would tend to great convenience if one inspector, to be called the inspector general, resided in London, and the others in the districts over which they presided (Hear, hear.) He thought the sub inspectors might be rendered more respectable, by giving them higher salaries. Mr. W. PATTEN said there were the greatest complaints against the sub inspectors both on part of the masters and the children. Sir J. GRAHAM thought that the number of Inspectors and sub.itispectorS should be limited as well as their salaries by the present Bill. He thought if that was drone it would give great sa. tisfastion. Mr. F. AfAULE thought if any change was to be made with respect to sub-inspectors, it should be done personally.: Mr. M. PHILLIPS suggested the withdrawal of clauses 22 and 23 for the present, in order that the proposition of his Hon. Col. league might be taken into consideration by the Government. Sir J. GRAHAM trusted the clauses would be postponed, and made a motion to that effect. After a few observations from Lord Stanley, Mr. Harvey; Sir J. Graham, Lord Teignmouth, Mr. Fox Maule, and Mr. &alley, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided on the postponement of clauses 22 and 23. When there appeared—.

The Bills were then brought in, read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. The House adjourned at a Quarter.past Four o'Clock to Monday. WAR IN THE EAST. ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 19.—The special Envoy of the French Government, Captain Callier, has arrived here, and has been most favourably received by Mehemet Ali, wh has assLr'd him that he neither intends to commit, nor bas he committed any act of aggression, notwithstanding the artasrerating conduct of the Sultan ) and the advance Hafiz Pacha, in spite of th e re p eate d assur - nces of the Porte that no hostilities were thought of. Of the success of the Pacha's troops no doubt is here entertained. Every thing has been done by the Turkish Commander to excite revolt, but with little success in the Syrian villages. We know this is a very perilous game, for Mehemet Ali will undoubtedly insurrectionize Albania and Rounielia against the Porte unless the Sultan be restrained, and made to re spect his treaties with the Viceroy. The only military affair which has hithe r t o t a k en p l ace, was an attack by the Turkish cavalry on Ibrahim Pacha's advanced guard of Bedouins, who retreated, after causing to the Turks a much larger loss than they themselves experienced. But this attack has ex cited the warlike passions of Ibrahim, and he has ordered his troops to move. If the letters of which Captain Callier is the bea-er arrive in time, Ibrahim will stop and wait the effects of the pacific interpo.ition of the Powers; but should any other movement have been made by Hafiz Pacha. or should his troops not recross the frontier, Ibrahim has determined on a general attack, and he will march on Orfa and Diarbekir. Should the Turkish army have been defeated, Ibrahim is instructed to occupy the ground he has conquered, but not to advance farther. A correspond ence, has taken place between Ibrahim and Hafiz Pacha in which Ibrahim reports various acts of aggression and invasion, particularly the entry of the Turks into Ai. t b, and asks how they zre to be reconciled with the pacific (le clerations of the Porte to the Allied Powers Hafiz Pacha's answer is a curious document, requiring Ibrahim's submission "to our benefactor, the benefactor of the world—the omnipotent and all honoured Lord, the Sultan, whose body, he prays, may be preserved as long as the world shall endure, and whose shadow protects all who serve him." lie says that some of his spahis having lost their horses, had wandered in pursuit of them to a plain between Aintab and Bir, and there they were attacked by the Arabs, upon which he found it "necessary to use re pris i 1 ,," but he offers no justification for invading the Sy rian frontier. Cone-half of the Egyptian fleet left on the 14th, the rest on the 15th, for the coast of Syria. The European Consuls have unanimously reported to their Governments that the Sultan has been the undoubted ag gressor. CHARTIST MEETIN GS. (From the Leicestershire Mercury.) On Monday morning a deputation from Leicester, con. sisting of Messrs. Swain, Simmons, and others, proceeded from Leicester to Earl Shilton. On their arrival the village presented a most beautiful appearance ; other de putations front Hinckley and Nuneaton marched in with their streamers ; and almost the whole population had gathered together, with banners and music, to welcome them. The people were briefly addressed by the Leices tershire Delegates to the Convention, Messrs. Smart and Skevington, who were on their way to Birmingham. A large number of the persons assembled then proceeded to Hinckley, where the principal meeting had been ap pointed to be held. Mr. Walter Upton, of Thurmaston, was called to the chair, and in order to preserve the peace, requested the constable to take into custody any person who might act in a disorderly manner. The people were addressed by Messrs. Smart and Skev ington ; Mr. Shaw, of Nuneaton, who delivered, we are informed, a very able speech; and Messrs. Swain and Simmons, of Leicester. The Poor-law was strongly denounced. Mr. Swain reminded the people of Hinckley, and its vicinity of the false evidence on the subject given before the Committee of the House of Commons, by Mr. Assistant Commis sioner Hall, who stated that the individual who paid the non-resident poor belonged to the adjacent vil lage of Burbage, did so at a public house, the paupers seldom left till they had spent what they received, and he had his drink free of expense. He (Mr. Swain) knew the individual, who was then in the meeting before him—and he knew that he was a respectable man—a true Christian—and thin man had declared that the assertion respecting the paupers spending their money was false, and that he had paid the paupers for 17 years, but never had a half-pint of ale at their ex. pense. When he (Mr. Swain) gave evidence before the Committee, he denied Mr. Hall's statements, and, in being confronted with him, asked him upon what authority he obtained his statement, He said he had beard it. When ? In 1835, he could not say exactly when. Where ? At a meeting of the parish officers. On being asked if he could name any one who was present, he could not. He (Mr. Swain) then charged him, before the Committee, with wilful falsehood, or gross negligence; nor did the Com mittee call him to order for so doing. Yet this man had received no reprimand ; and had lately been appointed to a higher office, that of Commissioner for Ireland. The principles of the Charter were fully explained, and listened to with great attention. The language used was moderate, and no allusions were made to physical force. The meeting altogether was very orderly and respectable. Our Hinckley correspondent says—." The speeches on the whole were well delivered, much better than I have heard many times on the hustings." The numbers present have been variously estimated. Our correspondent—an impartial eye-witnesss,—thinks there were 1,500 present. Others say several thousands. No interference from the civil authorities was expe rienced, nor were the military called out, as on the former occasion. The pensioners who had been assembled, re ceived some ale, and were quietly dismissed. At the close of the meeting the deputations from Lei cester and Shilton returned to the latter place, where an other meeting was held. The quiet and orderly manner in which the business was conducted surprised some of the respectable inhabitants, who said that they had been com pletely deceived with respect to the character and conduct of the Chartists. One gentleman told one of the depute.. tion from Leicester that they had been represented to him as a violent and bloodthirsty sc t of people ; but now he found that he had been imposed upon. He had not known before what the Charter was ; but, having beard it, he ap proved of it. He said the working man ought to have a fair day's wages for a fair day's work," but that was not the case; and recommended them to persevere in their agitation, which could be the only means of obtaining wha they wanted. BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-The meeting was very peaceable till within a few minutes before its close, when a Mr. Walkman—one of those haughty and tyrannical who abound in the villages of this country—savagely , rode into the crowd on a spirited horse, which he spurred through them knocking down a child and a woman, and completely interrupting their proceedings. This conduct could have originated in nothing but pure malignity, and hatred to the rights of the poor. The ground on which the meeting was held bad been granted for that purpose by its owner, and we are credibly informed that there were not more than 20 persons on the turn. pike road adjoining ; so that this insolent oppressor might easily have passed without coming into collision with the crowd. A bystander informed one of the deputation from Leicester that he was heard to say as he went out of the ground " He did not care if he had killed the d---l." He proceeded to a pubic. house, and the assemblage, whose indignation had been greatly excited by the outrage, were with difficulty restrained by the speakers from attacking the house and inflicting on the savage that summary punishment which he so richly de served. We have seen an individual who witnessed the outrage, and saw the child afterwards. It was about seven years of age. Three of its teeth were knocked out, its nose severely cut, and its whole frame violently shaken. A constable was sought for, but could not be found. Notwithstanding this wanton attack, the Chartists-- whose violence has been so frequently denounced—quietly separated. [Will this gentleman (1) he prosecuted for the outrage? Alas, no ; the injured parties arc poor, and Whileman is an influential man.] CASSEL.-It is stated that Spohr will leave Germany in August, to attend the Norwich festival in England.—Foreign Quarterly Review. T EMPTATION.—The novel which has just ap peared under the title of " Temptation ; or a Wife's Perils," is already exeitieg that eager attention which the peculiar nature of the work is so strongly calculated to call forth. This admirable fiction belongs to that class of tales of which " Delphine" is so striking an example; but it bas this marked important distinction in its favour_ that, with all the elements of intellectual exeitenient which belong to that brilliant production, it is wlaolly free from the (to sa) the least of it) que,tien,Ue tendency in a moral point of view, which tenders Delphine," by no means a safe book in the hands of precisely those readers who are most likely to take it up. " Temptation," on the contrary, cannot possibly be read without refining as well as strengthening the moral sense, while to those who read for amusement merely, the singular skill with which the plot is worked out, and the elutraeters developed, gives it peculiar attraction. FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION, ---Thurs day information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley of two cases, in addition to the great number that have lately come un der his notice, where excessive drinking has ended in fatal consequences. It appears that on Sunday week, about seven o'clock, William Hallett, a shoemaker, ' , siding in Kensington Gravel-pits, left home in perfect health, but in about an hour afterwards he returned quite drunk, and in going along the passage ; fell down and injured his side. He was attended on the following Tuesday cloning by Dr. Hora, who prescribed some mtdicine for him, and ordered him to be kept quiet. Contrary, however, to the doctor's orders, he got drinking, and mortification, which had pre viously set in rapidly increased, and Hallett died on Sa turday last. In the second case it appears that James Boyce, of New-street, Kensington, was in excellent health on Monday, on which day he got drunk, and died on the next day. Inquests have been appointed to be held on the bodies, and in all cases similar to the above, it is the come ner's intention to have the cause of death recorded, so as to form an easy reference, should it be found necessary to adduce proof of the necessity of legislative interference to check intemperance. Two inquests were held yes erday in which the verdicts were " Natural death, hastened by excessive drinking." THE LATE ATROCITIES IN THE REGENT'S Rum —During the last few years scarcely a month has passed in each summer without complaints being made with regard to fellows misconducting themselves towards young women and children while taking an airing in the Regent's Park; and within the last month no fewer than four cases of a similar description have been brought under the notice of the Magistrates of Marylebone-office, by whom the offenders have been severely punished. The metropolitan police have not hitherto been in the habit of doing duty within the enclosure of the park in question where these offences usually occur, but it is now under stood that the Police Commissioners have given directions that their constables, in order to put down L'oe evil, shall lend their aid to the park and gate keepers, the latter of whom are in the pay of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. FLANDERS ANti iiiiTol MAIL. BRUSSELS, JtrLT 6.—The King set out on Tuesday for Antwerp, by the iron railroad, for the purpose of opening the canal of Elerenthals, which, say the Antwerp pipers, is the greatest work, next to the iron railroad; that has been executed in Belgium since the revolution. The canal is ten leagues in length, deep enough for vessels pf severity tons burden, and was expected to prove highly advanta geous to the district called La Campine. Tire King returned by the iron railroad from Antwerp, and reached the Palace of Laeken last night at 10 o'clock. M. de Potter has been for some days at Brussels, wli( re he intends to fix his residence, arid to continue his work on the Church. The Antwerp Papers give long accounts of the recep tion given to his Majesty, the brilliant illuminations, Sze. There have been for some days tumultuous assemblages in the market.places, on account of the high price of vegetables. Yesterday morning, at half past three o'clock, numerous police officers were stationed at the gates and in the avenues to the market, who hit:tiered the country people from selling their productions on the way, as they wanted to do, and compelled th?m to go to the markets. It seems that many of the country people, instead of bring ing their vegetables into the city, offered them for , a►,- from door to door in the suburbs. I❑ a short time the effervescence among the people was such es to create some uneasiness. Happily nothing was attempted to troubk public order, or in violation of the rights f property. AMSTERDAM, JULY 3.—The report that h is been in cir. culation for some days, of the appointment of his Excel lency the Secretary of State, Baron Van Doorn Van West kapell, to the high dignity of Governor. General of our East India possessions, appears to be confirmed. M. J C. Baud, Counsellor of State, is spoken of as his succes sor in his present post. STETTIN, JUNE 30 —The Grand Duke Alexander ar rived here this forenoon, and immediately went on board the Ischora steam-boat, which was waiting to convey him to St. Petersburg. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SUGAR. -In the prices of West India Muscovadoes Sugar little variation has taken place this week, but the grocers have purchased spar;ngly ; the demand from the refiners also continues limited, and such of the importers as have been inclined to realise, have been compell.d to submit to rather lower prices ; The sales for the three days amount to 1,130 hhds and tres. including a public sale of 130 blitts Barbadoes, which sold heavily, and 6d under the rates of the last auction for the better sorts, but other kinds maintained previous quota tions :-good mid and good went at 65s 6d to 675, and fill! 67s 6d a 68s 6d : by private treaty, yellowish b: own Tri nidad has teen sold at 63a to 63s 61, mid grey St. Kitt's and Jamaica 63s 63 to 643, better Grenada and Dominica 64s to 64s 6d, and good Antigua with much colour 65s to 65s 63.

TEA. -The market has at length assumed a more lively appearance; by private contract large purchases have been made in the low descriptions of Congou and Hyson for home consumption ; some sales have also been made in the former for exportation, and prices rather above those of the last auctions have been obtained. At public sale 19,952 packages, or 1 ,416,300 lbs of Tea, have been of fered, which attracted a fair attendance of the trade; of these the quantity sold is about 9,200 packages, and of the remainder about 2,000 were summarily withdrawn. Common Congous show an advance of id to Id per lb en the prices that were obtainable at the sales of last month, and the finer qualities have met with a more ready sale than they have latterly. Twankays are id to Id, and hysons are Id to lid per lb higher, and nearly all other descriptions brie been influenced in some degree by the improved tone of the market, the latter part of the sales showing a decided advance upon the commencement. Of Young Hyson none has been offered, and none is to be had in the market under Is Sid or Is 7d. Souchong is getting more in favour. Imperial and Gunpowder of fine quality are getting scarce, but of ord sorts of a blue glazed leaf, which are not better than Twankay in liquor, the stock is large, and prices remain low.

A R CHARGE OFFELONY. A considerable sensation was produced in Coventry on Wednesday, in consequence of the apprehension of an individual on a charge of felony, who has for some years past moved in a respectable sphere in life; and who is generally supposed to be possessed of property which might have enabled him to maintain that position in society in. dependently. But the ways of some men are inexplicable, and their conduct not to be accounted for by any process of reasoning. The person to whom we refer is William Dowling, a well-known manufacturer and dealer in ribbons, who was yesterday committed for trial at the next Assizes on a charge of having stolen five pieces of ribbon from the warehouse of Mr. Francis Hart, ribbon manufacturer, with whom for a long time past he had been on close terms of intimacy, both in the way of friendship and trade. On Wednesday last, however, about ten in the morning, Dow ling having entered Mr. Hart's warehouse in Hay lane, as had been his habitual custom, either in a way of gossip or for purposes of business, Mr. Hart having previously conceived that he bad of late some reason to suspect the honour and integrity of these frequent calls, took means to watch his visitor's movements, and soon detected, him in fingering the goods in a drawer in a manner which at once confirmed his suspicions. Mr. Hart was not in a condition to seizo him at once, but took :•omc precautionary steps for capturing him before he got off the premises. In consequence, however, of another person coming into the warehouse and entering on some business question, Mr. Hart's attention was drawn off, and in the meantime Dowling quickly left the warehouse, and had got too far before Mr. Hart saw him, to make it prudent for him to pursue him. About twelve o'clock Dowling paid another visit, and repeated his manoeuvres at a drawer of ribbons, the number of pieces in which Mr. Hart bad taken care to have counted. Having accomplished his purpose, and that under the ob servation of Mr. Hart, Dowling remarked that it was get ting towards dinner-time, and he must get home, and with lilt he left the warehouse, followed immediately by Mr. Hart, who overtook him a few yards from the door, charged him with the robbery, collared him and threw him d own, and afterwards dragged him into Mr. Keen's silk-ware house opposite. A policeman was then sent for, who searched him and found the ribbons in his pocket, the num ber and quality of which corresponded with the deficiency in the drawer, which had been counted. Dowling was forth - - with taken to the Station-house, and remained there till twelve o'clock yesterday, when he was brought before the Magistrates, and a lengthened examination took place, in the course of' which the above facts were disclosed, in the presence of a crowded Court, and terminated as before stated, in the committal of the p r i so ner for trial at th e Assizes...— Coventry Herald. ------------ A VICTIMIZER.—O n Wednesday a respectable looking man, between fifty and sixty - years o f age, who calls himself Th omas Colvin Cooke, was brought before Mr. Alderman Lainson, at Guildhall, charged with being 'h a common cheat. The prisoner, it appeared, i s ono ol ld ell those fellows who have meat and drink in eati ng -h ous ' and public-houses, without money to pay the reckoning. He had been in custody a few days before. On this occa• sion the landlord, with whom he had incurred a debt of 6s. 9d., said the publicans were being almost daily vic timized by such persons as the prisoner, and as they were guilty not of a mere imposition on a single person, but of cheating many persons, he thought it would be hard if they were not indictable as common cheat•, like minors going about and getting credit as persons of full age, and then setting up their non-age. The Magistrate said the pri soner seemed to have an uncontrollable desire 0 teed sumptuously, but he hoped by confining him for a few days on bread and water, to bring his appetite roust! to a Whole some condition. He should remand him till Monday to see what further charges would be preferred againsthim.-- I Remanded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST 13ETTII1G AT MANCHESTER—THURSDAY.

TAM WORT LI . This dull town has, within these few days, been sub jected to a salutary agitation on the question of the Corn. taws, by Mr. Aciand, ore of the missionary lecturers of the Anti- Corn-law League. It is now several weeks since Mr. Paulton visited Tamworth with a similar intention, but was repulsed by the refusal of the Mayor (a Tory of the name of Parsons) to permit the delivery of lectures on such a subject in the Town-hall. A correspondence sub. sequettl:'s fools place between the Coune:l . f t h e L eague arid this Mr. Partoes, with a view to the removal of such groundless objection to inquiry en this important question as had propted him to a refusal of the eccerttroadation so licited. The Mayor, however, having refused to assigo any reason for his illiberal conduct, and persisting in his un. courteous decision, the Council of the League, recalled Mr. Acland from the South of England on the triumphant completion of his tour of discussional agitation in Devon shire and Cornwall, and instructed him to enlighten the constituency of Sir Robert Peel upon a subject so unpalat able to his bigoted adherent the Mayor of Tamworth.
