EVIENING EDITIO)E._ of i!epenin 4 them oi the eolifl fence of the country, and thereby deprive the people hereafter of the benefit of their advice, when it would be necessary for them to be assisted with the councils of all who could direct them in the attainment of their object.—(Hear, bear.) If they were to adopt it, their enemies would say that in p,oportion as they were nearing the danger the more they became afraid—a thing he would not give counte nance to by his conduct on this occasion. He was, if he did not misunderstand himself, coming speedily to the opinion that every man should be armed.—(Great cheering.) When the Government allowed the gen• tlemen--gentlemen forsooth I—of Monmouth not only to use arms for the protection of their property but were also about supplying them with arms, he thought it was high time that the people should have their arms.—(Great cheering.) He could not see why the poor should not arm to protect their rights as well as the rich.—(Continued cheering.) And he as an in dividual of that Convention, advised the people to arm, neither in private, or with stealth, but openly for their defence. For was it not time they should do so when they saw a blood-thirsty Government putting arms in the hands of the people's enemies, arms purchased with taxes produced from the people's earnings, for the pur pose of still keeping them under the infliction of bar barous and unconstitutional laws. ? (Tremendous cheers.) Let them but dare to prevent the people from expressing their wants by public meetings, and confident was h e that there would not be a factory in the land that would not be burned to the ground.— (Hear.) What, arm the gentry for the protection of life and property ! They were the only enemies of life and property, he was prepared to prove. The system which gave them birth as men of property, and by which they managed to live at the expense of the people, costs the poor of this country no less a sacrifice than one thousand lives a day—and has cost them in money, up to this time, two hundred millions.—(Hear, hear.) Yes, this is property, but how is it obtained ? It is obtained at the expense of the blood, the sweat, the toil, the money, nay, the very life itself of the poor—and this is the property which the Whig Government has put arms into the hands of its owners to protectl— (Cheering.) He would ever exert himself to prevent the dignity of this Convention from being contemned — which might be the case if this address were passed. After a few more remarks, Mr. O'BRIEN concluded by proposing an amendment, " that a Committee be ap pointed to prepare an Address to the people of England at this momentous crisis." Mr. O'CONNOR seconded the appointment of a Com mittee. Mr. VINCENT supported Mr. O'Brien's amendment. I He hoped that any address that might be pre { pared would not tend to induce the people to I give up the right to arm. Mr. Vincent went on F at some length to show that were it not for the in terference of the Convention to soothe the irritation caused by the conduct of the Tories and taskmasters, ' there would now be very little property left for them to i , protect. And, in conclusion, he called on them to cease their party squabblings, and act together for the I I people. Mr. SANKEY said he would not have spoken upon this subject; but he had the courage to protest against l the language of Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Vincent. He , 'lr. Sankey) h- id never given up the Constitutional ..., rights of Britons, but he protested against . this assem ! lay, as a deliberative assembly, to entertain this ques tion. We, as a Convention, had no right to call upon the people to arm—it would be illegal—and, further, 1 he would question the position of the people at present. 1 He was a l ways aga i nst t h e pr i nc ipl e of a minority le gislatis g to Oppress t h e ot h er c l a s s —whether it were , the minority of a Democracy or an Aristocracy. And ? es the signuures of the petition at present stood, it Icould not be taken as representing the majority of the I psope. The people of Scotland were too calm, too patient, and t oo h umane , to peril this cause upon I bloodshed. Mr. RICHARDSON addressed some remarks to the meeting as to the p e opl e ' s r i g ht t o arm . • Dr. FLETCHER would not i sive way to the excitement which had been complained of. He had been thinking and speaking too long on the people's right to possess arms to be excited at this crisis. Mr. Richardson had intimated that the present circumstances proved the necessity of a resolution he had some time ago moved, to take legal advice on the right to arm. If any injury had been done by the loss of that resolution he was re ; sponsible, having moved the amendment of the un doubted right of the people to possess arms. He was not sorry he had done so. He thought our position would now be worse if we had the qualifications and mystificatien s of a quibbling lawyer of this great con stitution_l right. He would L.& his stand on the Constitution, not refusing to pay so much attention to the Acts of Parliament which touched on this part of the Constitution, as that manly prudence which was an ingredient of true courage might dictate. He was well aware that if the people should go armed to public meetirqsthey would only expose themselves to slaughter. He would therefore join in advising them not to do this, but he sisould consider himself a recreant to the doc trines which for six years he had been preaching to them, if he should subscribe to an address which would by im plication throw a doubt on the duty of the people to possess arms. It was in anticipation of a crisis like this he had given such advice, and he would not now shrink from it. It was only a question of expediency at what point the people should commence resistance to en croachments on their rights. Dr. TAYLOR. thought the safety of the country de pended en the arming of the people. Mr. WODEHOUsE was of opinion that ulterior mea sures should be considered immediately, it was in ac cordance with this opinion that the people of Notting ham, Sutton, and those places, sent him there in place •of Dr. Wade. In that neighbourhood all were of opi nion that they ought to have arms in their hands'. He was of opinion tbat the people should be armed, in order that they might be prepared for their enemies. Mr. POWELL was five weeks determining whether he should come here or not, but in consequence of its being the last moment, he obtained the consent of his wife, and did come, in order that he might assist peace fully in obtaining the People's Charter, but if it was otherwise necessary, he would obtain it at the expense of this (pointing to his head).—(Hear.) The people were arming in every part of the country, and why had they not the right to do so in protection of their wives and families, as well as the rich had the right to arm in • defence of their hay-stacks and corn-yards.—(Hear.) It was the Queen's proclamation that induced him to take his seat, and now that he had come he would be found assisting the Convention to the best of his abilities in obtaining the Charter. He would advise them to deliberate in the most solemn manner on this important question.—(Hear, bear.) 1 ' Dr. M‘Douai.i. did not wish that partial riots should take place ; but when it is not known what next may take place—for it is possible that the Constitution may be suspended in this country as well as it-was in Ireland • —(Hear, hear)—if we see the same thing enacted in this country that this Government had enacted for Ire land—if we see the poor cottager, for having a light in his window after dark, exposed to the galling fire of the Midnight hired assassin of the Government, it might be possible that, as was expressed by the gentleman who , spoke a while since, the same scene as at Moscow might be enacted in this country. He, therefore, im pressed on them the necessity bf coming to a decided opinion on this subject. It was necessary that they should be prompt and decisive, as the state of the coun try was now becoming so very excited from the goadings of their enemies, that not a moment could be depended on. In Ashton, on Saturday night, the place was filled with police and special constables ; and the meeting which was held there on that • night was every moment anticipated to be put down by the military, who were expected every moment.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DONALDSON thought they ought to test the middle classes further before they should give so much a time to this talking of arming, although if it came to that there was not in Birmingha m a mark who would I . _ not start forth armed at two minutes' But still he was of opinion that there were many cir cumstances which would induce them to join them in the struggle. Mr. BROWN, one of the new Delegates from Bir mingham, made a clever and spirit-stirring speech in favour of the working classes being armed as well as the rich. He was repeatedly cheered in the course of his address, and in conclusion said, that the men of Birmingham were ready as one man to stand forth as a wall of brass in defence of the Convention, and of their principles. Mr. BURNS thought they ought to treat this questiori with more of the head and less of passion.—(Hear,_) H' would leave the people who have property without property, and then it would be for them to defend wlkait they had left if it was worth defending. It was lais opinion always that when things came to that th.e:y should " Moscow it" and take every means to destroy property and save life.—( Hear, hear.) There was MD Use in going on to arm the people when they had this power of obtaining these ends by taking from the pro - perty-owners that which induced them to;arm.. Mr. WHITTLE said Mr. O'Brien, io / ailusionto to. ports that certain portions of they have be et i training and drilling, and that the're is danger of th , eLr eetning in collision with the_-armed authorities, has used the expression, that if we advised them simply against such practises, it might be supposed that "Ivt: who had been encouraging them, and lead;ng them fo r.• wand, wer e • p repar i ng , as t h e d anger approac h e d , t o desert.t them." Mr. O'Brien may plead on his own be•- ; if and perhaps on b'ehalf of others, that he and they nave i len encouraging the people, and leading them: ] say it for 1. art to acts o f v i o l ent ,, , b ut h e h as no r i g h t ter :- , on behalf disclaimed suchwithin the and always advised the, 1 the law.

I have heard with pain Mr. O'Connor say something must be done to secure the members of this Convention. S ir, it is time that something should be done to secure the people against the indiscretions of the Convention. O ur sitting here is proof that we are prepared for no vio lence ourselves as individuals, and we ought to make haste to prevent portions of the people from being led 1 on and encouraged to do that in which we well know that the whole are not prepared to go with them . Mr. O'BRIEN said that his languag e, he heheved,cer tainly his intention, had been perverted. He would be distinctly understood as advising the people against breaking the law, but to be ready to resist aggression. Mr. BUSSEY was of opinion that th e Government were stirring every nerve to produce excitement among the people for their own base purposes ; it was, there fore, incumbent on them t o e l ect this Committee at once, and to adopt measures which would tend to guard the people from falling into the pitfalls prepared for hem by the Whigs. They . ought to set about this ad. dress at once, and prepare it in that way which would elicit the confidence and obedience of the people in the measures which it might inculcate.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLEAVE was astonished at the language used this day ; he thought that as the occasion arose they would have an increase of prudence. They were certainly, he thought, more inclined to be guided by their passions than by their judgment. He did think it was unwise that the address presented should be termed a milk and water address. Why, is it not known that Mr. O'Connor, last week, gave advice, from this Convention, that training and drilling were illegal. Mr. Cleave then quoted from the Northern Star an address to the people calling on them to avoid the machinations of their enemies, and not to give their adversaries any occasion for attacking them ; that they should be prepared for any thing that might occur, but only to use their arms when attacked ; and that they should avoid any one who now seeks to embroil them as much as they would avoid a scorpion in his path. Was this milk and water doctrine ? No, it was not; it was sound constitutional doctrine, and doctrine which would not compromise the Convention, and which would event ually crown their cause with success.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. NEESOM spoke in favour of arming. Mr. LOWREY would not speak a word on the question but from having his views either misconceived or mis represented. He was prepared to say in reply to Mr. Marsden that it was necessary that some document should be sent among the people, in 'order that they might be guided in their future conduct, as he was con vinced from his own knowledge that letters had been ‘ent to the people to urge them to an outbreak. Mr. Lowrey continued his speech in defence of the Address, but in the end declined 'pressing it. It was accord ingly withdrawn, with the leave of the Convention. The amendment of Mr. O'Brien was put and car ried, upon wh i ch the following five gentlemen were elected by ballot :—Dr. Fletcher, Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Frost, Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Lowrey. MESSRS. ATTWOOD AND FIELDEN. Dr. FLETCHER reported from the Committee ap pointed to wait on the above gentlemen, whom he had met. In reply to Dr. Fletcher Mr. Attwood said that on the responsibility of Mr. Collins stating that he would give the petition to his hands, that he would give notice of its presentation this day.—( Hear, hear.) It was even a loss to the petition that it should be sent to him this day, as many signatures were yet to be sent from the country ; no less than 200,000 additional signatures were received since Saturday morning. In reply to Dr. Fletcher impressing on him the necessity of a speedy discussion, he was for a little delay, as it. might add weight to their cause by seeing Members of Parliament friendly to the cause. After being again pressed, he would not consent to name a certain day to bring in the Bill, but he would do so as soon as possible.—(Hear.) Mr. O'BRIEN corroborated Dr. Fletcher's statement. Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNOR the Order of the Day was resumed, upon which additional signatures were handed in by ,Ir. Cleave, Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. O'Brien. Those by Mr. Cleave were—Clapham, 200, Romford 200, Colchester 300. TREASURYSHIP. Mr. LOVETT read a letter from Mr. Rogers, resign ing the duties of Treasurer to the Convention, unless the opinion of the Convention was declared as to what would be ulterior measures. Mr. O'CONNOR begged leave that the resignation of Mr. Rogers be accepted, and that Mr. Moir's name be inserted in its stead. Mr. GILL seconded Mr. O'Connor. Dr. TAYLOR said they ought now to receive the re signation of all who were inclined to resign. Mr. STUART thought it rather bad of Mr. Rogers demanding of them a categorical answer as to what they should do in future.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES TAYLOR said. Mr. Rogers only asked a question as a tradesman. He only wishes to kno , .v if the Convention will come to a decision which might render it an illegal body, and therefore render it not ad visable for him to remain treasurer.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PITKEITHLY said that Mr. Rogers had no right to prejudge the Conventiti. Mr. CARPENTER WOUIT advise them not to take any notice of the affair. Mr. O'BRIEN would wish that Mr. O'Connor should add that he was worthy of the thanks of the Conven tion for the discharge of his duties as Treasurer. Mr. O'CONNOR would consent to that. Mr. MILLS said he did not resign as a member, but as a treasurer, and in the manner he did it he did not seem to dictate to th e Convention. Mr. DEEGAN and Dr. FLETCHER took part in the discussion. • Mr. Mont moved an amendment that the conside ration of Mr. Rogers's resignation should be deferred until after the report of the Ulterior Committee bad been received. Mr. BURNS seconded this amendment. It was put and negatived, upon which Mr. O'Con nor's resolution, accepting the resignation of Mr. Ro gers as treasurer was adopted. It was moved and seconded, and carried by acclama tion, that Mr. Frost be appointed in room of Mr. Rogers. TILE PETITION. Mr. COLLINS reported from the Petition Committee that he now redeemed his pledge—the petition is ready! It was two miles, one thousand five hundred and four yards in length (nearly three miles), and it contained the enormous number of one million and a quarter of sig natures. A vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to Mr. Rog ers. Mr. O'CoNswa moved that the Convention go with the petition to-morrow in procession to Mr. Attwood at two o'clock. Seconded by Mr. NEESOM, and carried unanimously. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. CLEAVE, that the Petition Committee should arrange with Mr. Attwood to carry the above resolution into effect. It was moved by Mr, O'Cotowit, and seconded by Mr. O'BRIEN that the above resolution be advertised in The Sun, Advertiser, and Times newspapers. After disposing of some other business the Conven tion adjourned from five to seven o'clock, at which time our reporter was told the sitting being a secret one, had adjourned to another part of the town.

MORIER, ESQ.—This is strictly an historical romance ; and though it will owe its immediate popub,rity to the strange and ro mantic nature of the incidents and characters which crowd its pages, its more permanent value will be derived from the truth with which they recall the real history of tho - times to which it relates. " The Banished" is avowedly modelled on the historical romances of Scott, with this only difference, that the writer has felt himself called upon ts adhere more strictly to historical records than our great Novelist was usually disposed to do, and he has found a reason and justification for this in the singular career of his hero, Duke Ulrick of Wurtemburg. The story is re lieved by many minor incidents and love passages, and the whole forms an exciting and vivid picture cf the cirring times in which the scenes are laid. " The Banished" may be fairly supposed to have derived much advantage from the revision of so experienced and successful a writer of romantic fiction as Mr. Morier.—New Monthly, 1 TILE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1839.

Conserva tism does not consist, according to this petition, in keep ing things as they are, but in extending Churchism. nourishing bigotry, increasing restraints, and taking more and more property for its purposes from the tax- payers. Mr. HUME gave notice that he will move to-day for a Select Committee to inquire into the affairs of the Bank of England. As there is a prodigious deal of fraud in the country it might, perhaps, be right to inquire how far it is promoted by the monopoly of credit which has been conferred on the Bank, and by which it is enabled to enrich its proprietary without risk of punishment.

Mr. HUME elicited from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that the thirteen millions Exchequer Bills does not enable the Chancellor to borrow more money, but only to renew the loans he has already made. The House then proceeded with the debate on the Jamaica Suspension Bill. Mr. MACLEAN was the first speaker, and spoke against the measure, as did Mr. GROTE ; Sir EARDLEY WILMOT supported it. • Mr. GROTE following other persons, spoke of the Bill as a punishment. We cannot consider it in that light ; at least it is not meant as a punishment to the 350,000 negroes, and we doubt if providing for the le gislation of Jamaica can be considered as a punishment to the whites. In no. other way can it be a punish ment, than as it deprives men of power which they have heretofore used for bad purposes ; and unless they have •used their legislative power to gratify some of thei• own passions at the expense of others, the suspension will not be punishment at all. Mr. CLAY and Mr. WAR BURTON both spoke against Mr. GROTE. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT and Mr. GOULBURN both spoke against the Bill. Mr. O'CON NELL rallied Mr. GOULBURN about his advo cacy of popular rights, and said he expected soon to see the Right Hon. Gentleman become a Chartist, whereat one side of the House cried '• Oh!" and the other side cheered. Mr. O'CONNELL argued, from the cruelties committed by the planters at various periods, that they were not to be trusted to pro vide by legislation for the colony. One argu tnent in favour of the Bill seems to have been overlooked, viz., that it would save the time of our Parliament, which is now called on, every Session to interfere with Jamaica. Pass this Bill and the Commis sioners will do all its duty. As, according to this view, the Parliament would be relieved. the Commissioners probably should be Parliamentary rather than Royal. If they were named in the Bill some of the objections might be lessened, Mr. GLADSTONE followed Mr. O'CONNELL and de fended the planters, he being of that race. The Prisons Bill he thought was a most offensive, objectionable Act, and contended that the conduct of the Legislature of Jamaica was justified by that Bill. He opposed the Bill because it was a penal measure tending to bring legislation into discredit, and destroy the confidence of the Colonists. Sir S. LUSBINGTON wanted equal laws for Jamaica, whereas there industry was now discouraged. The British Parliament had never parted with the power of legislating for Jamaica, and was bound to remedy the evils. At a late hour Lord STANLEY, in a speech that was meant to be effective, replied to Sir S. LUSHINGTON. Lord JOHN RUSSELL closed the debate ; and after pointing out the gross neglect of the planters, and after adverting to the abuse which had been heaped on the Baptist Missionaries, to whom he ascribed the present good behaviour of the negroes, and after an appeal to those West Indians who had first agreed to the mea sure, and then, for party purposes, meant to vote against him, concluded by expressing a hope that the vote of the House would convince them of their error. The House divided, and the Ministers obtained a majority of five. The numbers were 294 for going into the Committee, and 289 against it ; majority, 5. The Ministers have, on other occa sions, not deserved so well as on this, when they were less efficiently supported. We have mo com plaint, however, to make of those conscientious gentle men who, like Mr. GROTE and Mr. HUBIE, thought it their duty,ethough they differ from us, to vote against the Ministers. The Speaker of the House of Commons at the be ginning of public business last night, announced very unexpectedly; his intention to resign the chair, and not to resume it after Whitsuntide. The Right Honourable Gentleman assigned a growing convic tion that his strength no longer enabled him to dis• charge, as heretofore, the duties of his high office, as the reason of his resignation. He was im mediately complimented, though very briefly, by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who assured the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he would carry with him the respect, regard, and gratitude of the H ouse . Sir ROBERT PEEL, - having found it his painful duty to oppose the Speaker on his first election, ex patiated at somewhat greater length on Mr. Speaker's merits : " I may perhaps be justified, (he said), in offering my public testimony to the integrity and impartiality with which you have discharged your duties in presiding over the deliberations of this House—(Cheering)--and to de clare that I think, not only on account of the discharge of your duties in the chair, but on account of your perse vering efforts to improve the conduct of private business, thereby to raise the character of the House iri the estima tion of the country, you arc entitled to an expression of public gratitude."—(Loud cheers from all sides of the House.) With such testimonies to his merits, given by those who are continually in the habit of transact ing business with him, and who are far better acquainted with his virtues than we are, our feeble note of praise, were we to raise it, would only be lost in such a triumphant chorus. We think the Speaker has been very honest and very consistent, and that he has exerted himself to save the time of the House and preserve order in the debates ; but we cannot compliment him on hav ing opened wide the door to petitions, or on having exhibited any peculiar readiness in listening to the complaints of the people. His integrity is un doubted, but it has scarcely sufficed to make him popular. The Right Hon. JAMES ABERCROMBY was born in the year 1776, and being now in the 63rd year of his age, has arrived at a time of life when perhaps retirement becomes a duty. It is thirty two years since he first sat in the House of Com mons for Midhurst, and in four Parliaments he represented the Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S borough of Calne. Since the Reform Act was passed the Right Hon. Gentleman has sat for Edinburgh. During the whole time he has been in Parliament he has been an active and highly trusted Member of the Whig party, and was united with them in office in Lord MELBOURNE'S short Administration in 1834. He was chosen Speaker in opposition to Viscount CANTERBURY, in the Parliament called by Sir R. PEEL at the beginning of 1835, and has, therefore, filled his high office only in two Parliaments, and for four years. He is already en titled to a pension as Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, when that Court was abolished, which is in abeyance during his Speaker ship, but will revive on his giving up the Chair. Conjecture is busy in selecting a successor to the Right Honourable Gentleman. We have heard Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr.LEFEVRE, Sir G. CLERK, Sir J. GRAHAM, and Sir G. GREY mentioned. The Bishop of LONDON, on Friday evening, gave a specimen of the assistance a Liberal Go vernment may expect from the Church in any really useful scheme of education. This pious Prelate, in his eagerness to denounce general education, mistook the mere skeleton proposed by the Privy Council to teach masters for a well formed, compact, general system, excluding everything in the shape of religious instruction ; and with a dogmatism peculiar to him self, asserted that any system that was to comprise all Dissenters, would lead only to the wildest lati tudinarianism. He conjured up some monstrous irreligious plan, which he knew well neither Mr. WYSE, nor Lord BROUGHAM, nor Lord LANS DOWNE, nor any other human being ever dreamt of, and sent that forth to the people of England as the plan of the Government to aim a heavy blow at the Church, and strike at the root of the religion of the country. He was soon set right, but all the friends of education may take this as an omen of the future, and rest con vinced that every scheme, except one brought forward by the Bishops and founded on the peculiar tenets of the Church will be denounced from the Episcopal Bench and from the pulpit, as the work of Catholics, Dissenters, and Atheists. Lord BROUGHAM may, therefore, prepare himself for the task which he so nobly offered to undertake. It is a glorious task, and one for which he of ail men is most peculiarly fitted to relieve the lower classes from their present load of ignorance, and to commence by leading the people• of England in their resistance, not to the Establishment, hut to the corruptions of the Establishment, to the exclusive, selfish, and arrogant pretensions of such men as the Bishop of- LONDON, who " bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not move' them with one of their fingers." The Church, as a body, has winked at—nay encouraged, the igno rance of the people, and when at last roused by the exertions of the disinterested and the humane, it presents every obstacle, and announces that there shall be no general system of education which does not recognise the principle that Episcopacy is the best of all religions, and that unless a Bishop has 20,0001. a-year and immense patronage, unless Church-rates be continued, Catholics and Dissenters be treated as aliens, the religious people of England will relapse into " indifference, general ism, and perhaps something worse." This is the great enemy with whom Lord BROUGHAM has to contend, for he may rest assured, that while the power of this exclusive hierarchy remains un impaired, he will labour in the sacred cause in vain. With such a hierarchy, and such a House of Lords, we ask Lord JOHN RUSSELL how he can rationally, and in reasonable time, anticipate that improvement which is his only remedy for finality. By the arrival at Havre of the packet-ship, Duchess of Orleans, from America, we have received a file of New York papers to the 17th ult , being nine days Eater than the last arrivals from the United States. The news received is very satisfactory. On the 14th the Great W stern Steamer safely arrived at Neat York, with 109 passengers. After experiencing, in the words of the New York Morning Herald, for twent4-two days, " squalls, head-winds, heavy seas, thunder and lightning, and every obstacle that wind and water could creat.a." The very cordial recep tion which the Acts of the 'Federal Government recom ending the adoption of a pacific policy with England in the settlement of the Boundary question bad met with from the Government and Press of this country, gave great satisfaction to the people of the United States. They were delighted to learn that all parties here prized their friendship so highly, and are more than ever resolved to maintain pacific relations between the two countries. There were still some burnings on the frontier, but the United States' authorities were doing all in ,their power to put a stop to such outrages. There is nothing stirring in the way of politics in the States. The aspect of affairs in the commercial world is generally favourable. (From the IVew York Morning Herald of the I 7th.) APPREHENSION of FOUR CHART ISTS AT ASHTON. t; CALLED OUT. AsHTON, SUNDAY NIGHT. The apprehension of the four men has caused consid..rable excitement amongst the Chartist party, and it is right to add that those parties who usually act as leaders of the people, did their best to preserve the peace. The prisoners were brought up before David Harrison, Jas. Juwett, Abel Buckley, Rev. J. S. 11. Evans, John Chatham, James Lord, and William Wright, Esqrs. The two constables of Newton deposed to having seen the pri soners, Samuel and John Bardsley, Cox, and Wards, with a number of others, drilling in a field near Ashton. It was also stated that pikes and bullets were found in John Bardsley's and Cox's residence. The prisoners having been placed in the lockup, one of Messrs. Broweley and Newton s omnibuses was sent for, in order to convey the prisoners to the New Bailey in Salford, but the crowd becoming very viciferous, and using threatening language towards the constables, an express was sent off to Colonel Wemyss, the Commanding Officer of the district, for the assistance of the military. Colonel Wemyss accordingly promptly set out for Ashton, accompanied by 2 of the Oh Carabtneers, under the command of an officer, and the remain ier of the troop, together with another troop of Carabineers , \v' th a piece of ordnance and a nompany of foot soldiers froth the Regent-road Baracks hollowed. The first division of the cavalry, headed by the Gallant Colonel marched into the market-place, where the people had asseio-. bled in groat numbers. Colonel Wemyss comtnencid addressing them, and told them that it would be much better for them to preserve the peace. The soldiers were very o° - willing to be called upon to act against their fellow -country men, but. if it were necessary. they would be compelled " do so. If the people expected to obtain what they supP os to be their rights, or any thing else, by brute force, the) - were very much mistaken, fqr they would find the law too strong for them. Several of the people asked the Gallant Colonel what he thought about the New Poor• law, and i right to add that the Gallant Colonel's replies were received in I very proper spirit, if they did not even happen to coincide with the views :f the people. In the meantime unexceptionable bail having been ten-, dered to the Magistrates, they dispensed with the 24 hours notice, and the prisoners were set at liberty, to the great so' tisfaction of their friends. To such a height had the feelings of the people been raise,l, at one time when they saw the nt°' nibus in the yard of the police (Ace, that they threaten ed to pull it to pieces, and Gatley, the constable of Stal , ybric ie l ; thought it was prudent to send the carriage back to the coa' proprietors. About three o'clock the military quitted the town, an d tle Magistrates being satisfied that nothing further would hapVe,'l'e broke up their own meeting—having previously caused thhe Queen's proclamation against training to be posted on t galls. In the evening a meeting of the inhabitants of Asbtn.n, Andershaw, & c., took place in Cock-lane, Andershawf DU' Mark Eastwood being in the chair. Resolutions declaratory nf the confidence of the meeting in the Convention were passed unanimously, and speeches nio de Mr. Aitken, of Ashton ; Rev. W. V. Jackson; of. Alanch ester ' Messrs. Higgins, Fenton, &c. not It has been stated that th... party who were drilling are recognized by the Ashton Radicals as belonging to the bodi. , There has been a considerable reinforcement of ruilit al ' drafted into Manchester within the last few days, and there sr' expectations that their numbers will be speedily increased.

An important and final tithe-meeting, after a protracted struggle, had been fixed for last Saturday, and as the Ja maica question had been unexpectedly adjourned to Friday, I early in the week applied, through a friend, to Mr. Stan ley, and afterwards personally to Sir T. Freemantle for a pair. On Thursday evening I was paired with Sir E. Kerrisou, then in London, and stile to attend: and finding on my return to town on Monday evening, that the ques tion had been adjourned, and that I was bound by my pair, who !rad then left town, I did the only thing in my power to do, spoke in favour of the question. -For the Morning Chronicle, therefore, to assert or in sinuate that I paired off last evening with a Member who was 100 miles off, was an unjust and ungenerous attack, and not consistent with his own knowledge of the facts. Mr. Sturge, to whom I mentioned the above on Thursday, .in a letter addressed to him, as well as the parties above named, can corroborate my statement. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, May 7, 1839.

Viscount M ELBOURNE brought under the notice of the House her MAJESTY'S Message, relative to Canada, and deprecating all discussion on the sub j ect, makin g no lon g speech, and explicitly declaring that he called on their Lordships for no opinion, the Noble Viscount moved an address in answer to the Message, ex pressing their Lordships' readiness to take the subject into consideration, and their desire to concur in such measures as may best promote the salutary objects her MAJEST Y has in view. After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord BROUGHAM, the Ad dress was agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, Sir It INGLIS gave notice that this day he will present a petition from the University of Oxford, praying for Church Extension in England. The Tizzies has frequently told us we have already too much Church, and here we have a claim for m ore. Is it to b e an extens i on o f P use yism, or Kebbleism, or Baptist-Noelism, or Low Churchisen, o r High Church ism whi c h i s to b e d eman d e d ?- We should like to see the ext ens i on of what i s w h o lly lost sight of in th e midst of th ese numerous " i sms ," na mely,Christianity to which we are sadly afraid all the "isms" are opposed. Titere are some other things of which we should see the extension with as much pleasure as any of the "'isms' such as forbearance, tolerance, and honesty ; but when Oxford Doctors demand an appropriation of money taken from the bulk of the people to extend the it "ism," they and their friends slight all the estimable virtues we have PAIRED Acheson, Lord—Co. of Armagh Barron, H.

The sales to-day have been large, and at a general improvement of from 1 to 3/ per cent. U. S. Bank improved 11 per cent. ; Dry Dock 3:1 per cent; Del. and Hudson 2i per cent; Bank of . Commerce per cent ; Ohio Life and Trust 2 per cent; Kentucky 3 per cent; Vicksburg 34 per cent. ; Ha.lem 2f per cent. ; Boston and Providence 1 per cent. ; New Jersey Railroad 21 per cent. ; Stoning ton 2 per cent; Canton Co 2 per cent. The quiet ter mination of the Maine difficulties has created a great change in the prospects of business. The anticipated return of American securities from London on the first receipt of the news there, has not been perceived. No other effect was caused in that market than a temporary suspension of sales, without an apparent loss of confidence, and in all probability the disposition on the part of London capitalists to invest in our securities will soon revive. The southern banks will then be placed in a better situation to accommodate the dealers at a fair rate of exchange than is now the case. (From the Courier and Inquirer of the same date.) From Buffalo we have intelligence to-day of the arrival of the first steam boats (the Chesapeake and Erie) from Detroit at that port the present season. The boats bad encountered some floating ice about thirty miles above the city, but not such as to oppose any impediment to their progress, and they would leave azaiu for Detroit the next day. The navigation of Lake Champlain has also been resumed. The packet-ship Vi-ginian, for Liverpool, went to sea this morniog ; the French packet is still detained. The arrivals from sea have brought no news of any im portance. . . In the cotton-market the same unsettled appearance has continued perceptible as noticed yesterday, and transac tions have been again very limited. The ifoniteur of Sunday, which we have received, to gether with other Paris journals of the same date, con tains the following news, communicated by telegraph to the French Government : " Bayonne, May 4, Half-past-Three, P.M. " In their bulletins of the 27th of April, Espartero an nounces, and Maroto admits, the taking of the Pena del Moro. In those of the 30th the latter says that he has carried some positions from the enemy, which Espartero avows, but adds that they have been retaken by the Royal Guard. " Letters of the 2rl from Santander announces the abandonment of the furt of Ramales by the Carlists, and their concentration on Guardamino. " On the Ist Diego Leon took possession of Balascoain, where be found five cannon." Letters from Bayonne of the 2d, state that DIEGO LEON only obtained possession of Balascoain after an en gagement which began on the 28th, and continued with only the interruption of the hours of darkness until the evening of the '29th, when the Carlists, commanded by General ELlo, were completely routed. The slaughter was very great on both aides, but no official returns had then been made of the numbers killed and wounded. It was supposed that the simultaneous defeat of two of the ablest of the PRETENDER'S Geherals would counterbalance the evils resulting to the QUEEN'S cause from the ignominious flight of VAN HALEN from before the trenches of Segura. The Opposition Journals are not best pleased with the leaders of the Coalition at placing any confidence in th. cajoleries of the Court by consenting to postpone the debate on M. MAUGGIN'S Address. They assert that from the negotiations carrying on for the construction of a new Cabinet the chiefs of the Coalition are more carefully ex cluded than ever ; and that the KING has no object but to gain time in the expectation that lassitude, weariness, and mutual distrust may do all that is requisite to leave him master of the field. Madrid Papers of the 28th ult. have been received. On the 27th General NOGUERAS, recently appointed Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Centre arrived in the capital. It was confidently asserted that the dis solution of the Cortes had been decided upon at a Coun cil of Ministers held that day. The following extracts from the Paris Journals of Sunday include the little news of any interest to be found in the French Papers : A letter of the 30th ult. from St. Sebastian mentions that accounts were received there of Espartero's troops having carried the height, called Pena del Moro, in froht of Ramales on the 27th. The Carlists wore forced to abandon one of their guns. On the Christino side General Castaneda was severely wounded. Letters from Smyrna state that the differences respect ing the tariff, which retarded the execution of the Treaty of Commerce with Turkey, have been removed, and the tariff itself signed on the 18th. The French Consulates had declared it not to have been the intention of their Go vernment even to suspend or delay the Treaty, which they considered in force from the 25th. The latest letters from Odessa announced that the Rus sian fleet in the Black Sea was quite ready. The French and English fleets were to rendezvous at Smyrna, in order to prevent by their presence the threatened collision of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The opinion w4s general and irresistible that hostilities were in contemplation by the Porte and Mehemet Ali. Letters from Tabriz, of April 1, stated that the protec tion afforded to the British merchants by the local autho. rities had completely re-assured them. They had in con sequence forwarded extensive orders for goods. The Commerce, announcing the departure from Paris on Sunday of Count Mole, late Prime Minister of Louis Philippe, remarks :—.‘• The ostensible motive of his journey is simply to gratify his curiosity; but M. Mole is always in petto the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it is affirmed that he is charged with a secret mission of high im portance." M. Paer, the musical composer, died in Paris on Satur day last. On the same day General Dema-cay, was struck with apoplexy. By timely assistance he was restored for the moment, but fears were entertained for his ultimate recovery. The Ausburgh Gazette of the Ist inst. denies that Prince Metternich will visit Johannisberg this month, as had been announced. The same journal states that a treaty of commerce fs likely soon to be concluded between Prus sia and Denmark upon similar bases as the one with Hol land. The tolls of the Sound will be diminished materially. THE NATIONAL PETITION. The neighbourhood of 80lt -court, Fleet -street, where the Convention holds in daily meetings, was crowded from an early hour of the morning, with persons anxious to see this gigantic roll of paper nearly three miles long which contains 1,250,000 signatures. The petition was taken down to Messrs. Attwood and Fielden to-day at two o'clock by the Members of the Convention, in procession with flag's and banners, dec. 'I he National Petition, which appears to be about four feet in diameter, was girded round with hoops, and drawn in a van ornamented with ribbons and banners. The procession halted opposite Mr. Hetherington's in the Str„nd, and nave three cheers. A similar compliment was paid to The Sun, &c. A crowd of people followed the procession.
