It is now more thin sixty years since the movement began with a declaration of principles almost identical with those embodied in the People's Charter. Endeavours were then made to suppress the mo vemen t by p rosecut i ons , an d b y positive enactments ; but all attempts to suppress it were vain, for each attempt to crush it was followed by its re appearance —f ar more broadly spread and deeply rooted than it had been —till it has now assumed its present for. midable character.

Nearly ready, in One Volume, Svo., T WO WAYS of DYING for a HUSBAND. By N. P. WILLIS, Esq. Hugh Cunningham, 3, St. James's-square. TN Accordance with the Convention concluded with France, for sending the Indian Mail through that country, Mails will be made up in London, for 1 NDIA, via Mar seilles, on the 12th August, 16th September, 14th October, and after that time, on the 4th of every Month, except when it happens to fall on Sunday, when the Mail will be made up the following day. The uniform rate on Single Letters to and from India by this route will be 2s. Bd., and so on in proportion. On Newspapers, the rate will be 2d. The Postage by this route will be taken on the same prin ciple that is now in force with French Letters, and both on Letters and Newspapers must be paid in advance. For the present a Mail will be made up for India, via Fal mouth, according to the existing Regulations, every fourth Saturday, and Letters:intended for that Conveyance must be specially addressed by that route. By Command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary. The Convention met at the usual hour, Mr. CARPENTER in the Chair. in a great n a ti o n a l " It is utterly impossible, excite ment, that all who take an active part should at first per fectly agree, or that the langu age o f i n di v id ua l s should not occasionally be indiscreet and indefensible ; but much that is deemed objectionable, there can be little doubt, was never uttered, the reports of which having been in most cases full of misrepresentation and exaggeration ; and if objectionable language were uttered, that affords no fair ground of opposition to the just rights of the people. " If our brethren of the middle classes would calmly and fairly consider the slender opportunities for inforniation possessed by the working classes, and all the adverse cir cumstances under which they have laboured, they will be compelled to admit that the dissensions and errors they complain of are infinitely less than could have been ex pected. We, therefore, invite your co-operation.. Be reasonable—be just. Aid the present movement to in with the elective franchise every honest and industrious man, and then mutual good-will and confidence will dis place the distrust and suspicion which now unhappily exist. Then will the peaceful and moral efforts of a united people compel the adoption of all their reasonable and just de mands. MANORS AND ESTATES IN NORFOLK.

The farms are let on lease to highly respectable and re e who have occupied the same many years, at 1:w rents, amounting together to 1,03 e/. per annum. These ase s will expire in 1841. The estate is well-timbered and b ounds with game, and offers a valuable and eligible pro perty to a purchaser as an investment. Ketthe farms may be viewed by permission of the tenants ; er particulars had of Mr. Samuel Steward. Boughton den P am, near Stoke Ferry, Norfolk and of Messrs, Gads letters to be post 'paid. Mr. SMART, the Secretary pro tern., read letters from Carlisle and several other places, announcing contributions to the national rent and the defence fund. A letter from the " Union of French Democrats in London" was also read, expressing their .sympathy in the movement now going on in this country to obtain social equality. A letter from Mr. Frost, dated Bristol, July 18, was read, stating that he had attended a meeting at that place, and he did not think that the working classes would at present obey the orders of the Convention for keeping the sacred month. He th ere f ore suggeste d t h e propr i et y o f a f ew members being sent into Wales to agitate on that subject, and had no doubt it would be attended with beneficial results. On the Crown side the calendar contained the name of ten prisoners, three of whom were charged with wilful mur der, two with cutting and stabbing, two with bigamy, one with an indecent assault, and two with common larceny. All these cases were disposed of as follows in the course of the day : In the case of William Terry, charged with the murder of William Renshaw. the Grand Jury ignored the bill for murder, and returned a true bill for manslaughter, to which the prisoner pleaded guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. COMPLETE FOR SIX SHILLINGS. Now ready, and to be had of all Booksellers, complete in one volume, neatly bound, and embellished with Engravings, Mr. Justice COLTNIAN, in summing up, told the jury this was a proceeding against the defendant for having published a libel tending to bring the law into disrepute, and also to cast imputations upon the Master of the Warminster Union Workhouse, and other persons. If they were satisfied that the defendant was the proprietor of the newspaper in question, and that the article had the tendency alleged, it would be their duty to find him guilty. It did not signify whether he was the writer of the paragraph, because, as publisher and proprietor, be was responsible for what appeared in the paper equally as if he had written it. Undoubtedly, sober-minded and edu cated persons who read the charge would not believe it ; but it was one which was calculated, with the rest of the libel, to excite feelings of disgust in the minds of her Ma jesty's subjects against the provisions of the Poor-laws. With regard to the propriety or impropriety of that mea sure they had nothing to do ; but, at the same time they would not allow themselves to be led away by any preju dice. The law had thrown upon them exclusively to de termine on questions of this sort, and they would therefore take all the circumstances of the case into consideration, and find the defendant guilty, or not guilty, as their judg ments should direct. price (is., - CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S LIFE OF A SAILOR," UNIFORM WITH " THE STANDARD NOVELS."

" Without exception the most animated, graphic, and life like picture of maritime adventure that has ever yet been drawn.

It is at once a book of maritime travels, a novel, an autobiography, and a romance." — Scotsman. In the case of a youag woman charged with the murder of her illegitimate child, the Grand Jury ignored the bill, and returned a true bill for concealing the birth, to which the prisoner pleaded guilty. She was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Mr. Duncan, Mr. Hartwell, Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Burns, and Mr. O'Brien paid to the Treasurer several subscriptions which had been placed in their hands. Mr. HETHERINGTON brought up an address to the middle classes, w Lich had been agreed to by the Committee ap pointed for that purpose. It was read at length by the Secretary. COMMON ROAD STEAM CONVEY ANCE COMPANY. _ _ _ TREASURER—James Gordon Murdoch, Esq. The call on such of the Shares as have been allotted being now in course of payment, the Committee, in order to facilitate their arrangements, and to provide, as extensively as possible, for public accommodation on the first starting of the Carriages, hereby give notice that they will be happy to receive Com munications from such Coachmasters and others as may be desirous of Contracting for Carriages, addressed (post-paid) to the Committee, at the Chambers of Mr. Hodgson, Solicitor, 21, Lincoln's Inn• fields. George Cocking was indicted for stabbing Thomas Ber tram, at the parish of Treswell, with intent to resist his lawful apprehension. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. It appeared that the prisoner was interrupted in his at. tempt to rob a dovecot, and ran away; and on the prose cutor endeavouring to adprehend him he wounded him in the manner charged. Lord APINGER was of opinion that as no felony had ac tudly been committed, the prosecutor, not being a consta ble, wai not warranted in point of law in apprehending him, and consequently the indictment could not be sustained. The Jury, accordingly returned a verdict of Not guilty. Simon .Haoue was indicted for stabbing John Moon, at the parish of Blyth, with intent to do him greivous bodily harm. It appeared that the prisoner had received some provocation and was turned out of the prosecutor's house. The Jury, therefore, only found him guilty of the common assault, and he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. The reception of the Address having been moved and seconded, Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN said he could not sanction the address, because he believed the middle classes to be more deadly enemies to the working classes than the aris tocracy were. Men of this kind he would never address except in the language of reprobation. The Convention ought not to conciliate them. It was their duty to conci liate the Convention after having robbed the working classes of their rights. Dr. FLETCIIER was of the same opinion, but he conceived that it was possible to draw over a portion of the middle classes, and that was the reason why he had concurred in the address.

Still `4le Insurance continues a favourite subject with the projectors ~0 f Joint Stock Companies, because for the first few years d eaths seldom happen, and all received appears on the side of L'nfit. On this account also the New Fire Offices undertake ife Insurance, although for many reasons Life Insurance and tire Insurance ought to be kept entirely separate concerns. Considering these things, and additionally that when a man insures his life he enters into a contract for life, and if he see reason cannot withdraw from it, and open a new Insurance in another Office, but under the material disadvantage of paying for an advanced age, he will pause before he resorts to untried a dventures while Offices of approved stability and conduct arc () Pen to insure him. THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE will be found upon e xamination to have long realised every benefit and convenience tO, the public which is promised in the new projects. For the " I ,,ain purpose. provision for surviving object s of affection, the a dvantages of the Provident Office are second to none.

Amber is an indurated vegetable ju ce, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the Mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it.

James Selway, who had been before the Court on a former day, again came up. The insolvent, a commission horse dealer, bad been " four times" discharged under the Act, and once a bank rupt. The present was his " sixth" appearance as debtor. He had married the widow Dobell, who kept the Talbot, in Gray's Inn• lane, and complained that he had been turned cut. There was a settlement on the marriage. The in solvent had purchased a horse of Mr. Collins, the opposing creditor, for 551. ; he sold it for 351., and it was re-sold for 651. When the insolvent was served with a writ, he put himself into a great passion, and condemned lawyers and Commissioners to a certain place. . _ The COURT remanded the insolvent at the suit of Mr. Collins, for four months. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YoBA-, JULY IS. Mr. Sergeant ACIIERLEY (with whom were Mr. Cress well and Mr. Wightman) stated the case. This was a criminal information filed against the defen dant, Mr. Feargus O'Connor, for a false and scandalous libel upon the Guardians of the Poor of the Warminster Union, inserted in a newspaper called the Northern Star, published•at Leeds, in this county, and having a consider able circulation. The defendant was, in the month of De cember last, when the article was published, the sole pro prietor of that paper ; and the only question 'would be to determine the law with regard to the libel. It was too well known that for some time past the . Poor-law Amend- merit Act had been the subject Of considerable discussion. No doubt, while that Bill ,was pending before Parliament, . . many men, both of sober minds and the best intentions, went so far as to doubt the policy of that measure of Parliament, and undoubtedly it was :competent, in this country, fcr every man to express his opinion upon that and every other measure discussed in the House of Commons, and to petition, to instruct his representatives, and use all constitutional and legal means to oppose it ; but it could not be endured, in this or any other country, that, when a measure became the law of the land, it should be opposed by physical force, or statements having a tendency to inflame or excite the public mind. Whether the para g raph in question was one to which these remarks applied would be for the Jury, under his Lordship's direction, to determine. The article, which appeared on the 223 of December last, was headed " Warminster Bastile," and was as follows:—" A little boy, last week, for some small offence, was confined in one of the cells belonging to the above workhouse, and was literally starved to death. The poor little fellow, during his confinement, actually, in consequence of such conduct, ate two of his fingers and the flesh off his arm." Now lie should prove not only that no such circumstance had ever occurred, but that, in point of fact, no child had died in the workhouse at that time. The mischief cf such an article was not to persons of sober minds, but to those who were too ready to believe it—too ready to exaverate, and often on that belief to act inimically to the Govern ment. Many might smile at the absurdity of the assertion that a child had eaten two of its fingers, but there were unfortunately too many ready to give credence to it, and it was by the circulation of such paragraphs that the public mind was abused, and the public peace disturbed. He would now give the necessary evidence to prove that the defendant was the proprietor of the Northern Star, and then leave the case in the hands of the Jury, trusting that they would not allow the defendant to escape, because that which was ridiculous was joined to a distinct and grave charge, but pronounce such a verdict as should give at once calmness to the public mind and steadiness and secu rity to the public peace. fen i\l da r n . t ß l a v n as ks t , from hep the rop am rietSotrofp;ohefficNee, Newspaper that p e eri b in question, q t ue e de stion and produced an order of the Poor-law Commissioners constituting the Warminster Union. The libel was then read. Mr. Merchant, the governor of the - workhouse was called, and stated his belief that the article applied to the Warmin. stet - Union, near Leeds. The truth or falsehood of the libel was not allowed to be proved. Mr. O'CONNOR, who appeared in person, then addressed the jury for the defence. After the very temperate man ner in which the Learned Sergeant bad opened the case he should not have felt it his duty to address a single obser vation to them if he did not feel that there was a perversion of character here. He considered himself not the defen dant, but the plaintiff, and he must contend against the doctrine which had been laid down by the Learned Counsel, that the only question to consider was the legal part of the case. He should contend, and he thought with his Lordship's concurrence, that there was something be yond that. They must have observed, when the al leged libellous article was read, that the bar and the court could scarcely refrain from laughing, and he would ask them was there ever such an insignificant, so mean, so pre posterous and insolent a case brought into a court of justice at this? The Learned Sergeant had said that this para graph was placed next to the leading article ; but was any mention made of it in the lending article? No; it was not served up as a repast—it was merely directed against what was considered a bad law. Could any body believe that a boy had eaten his fingers? He was sure the Gover nor of the workhouse did not believe the sory—nor did any one else. The absurdity of it carried its contradiction. The Learned Judge had said he would not allow the truth of the article to be proved. He did. not seek to prove it. He never was at Warminster in his life. He did not write the article, and never saw it until the rule for this criminal information had been moved for. It was copied from another Newspaper, and if the Learned Sergeant had read the whole of it they would have seen that it had reference to the wages of the working classes of the Warminster Union. He was, however, much indebted to the Attorney-General for this prosecution, as prior to it his Paper had but a small circulation about War minster, and now it was one of the strongholds of the Northern Star. If the Attorney-General had known the delicate grounds on which he stood, as stated by his colleague at Edinburgh, he would have been careful how he undertook this dangerous proceeding. Mr. Macaulay had stated, when standing for Edinburgh, that if the Government could lay claim to having done no good as regarded the law of libel, they had at least done no harm, as they had allowed that to remain a dead letter on the statute book, which might have been a dangerous instru ment in the hands of a Tory government. A worse doc trine could not be propounded. Was the law of libel to be like a muzzled dog, to be let loose at enemies, but not to guard the household generally ? He had ever considered that the Poor-law Amendment Act was a monstrous law, and so long as he could speak he would use his constitu tional privilege to bring it into disrepute. This was alto getheiya contemptible prosecution. Where he had fired pops.,, guns against this law, all the London papers had directed bat teries—and yet the whole glory of the London press had It was understood yesterday, that thedefenclants were to come into Court this morning to renew their recognizances, and as Mr. Justice Coleridge bad got through all the busi ness in the calendar, it was arranged that this formality should be carried into effect before Mr. Justice Erskine in the Nisi Prius Court. Accordingly, Mr. R,oberts (an attorney), who had given bail, was called. Mr. Roberts said that he was charged a month or two ago with a misdemeanour, and sent to Salisbury gaol ; and after some delay he put in bail, himself in 500/., and three sureties each in 2501. On that charge he was here to an swer at the opening of the Court, and he had been here ever since, with 50 witnesses, and was prepared to rebut the charge. At the last moment he was told that the origi nal charge was abandoned, and a new charge preferred, and at the present moment he did not know what the charge was. He had not had a copy of the indictment, nor had he seen the indictment. Mr. Justice ERSKINE said the better way would be that he should hear the indictment read, and then he could say whether he would take his trial now or traverse ; but he had understood that the defendant had already applied for a traverse, and that all be had to do was to take bail for his appearance. Mr. Roberts said it was not quite so simple a case. Mr. Justice ERSKINE said, if there was any doubt as to what had taken place place yesterday, then Mr. Justice Coleridge would attend in the other court. Mr. CJEKBURN said, that on the part of the defendant he was sorry hi Lordship should be troubled, but there was come little difficulty about bail. Mr. Robert said, he had come prepared to take his trial 3estcrdaY3 and he was not, therefore, prepared with bail. He had sent to Bath and to Weymouth, where his former bail lived, but a day or two must elapse before they could arrive. A conference here took place between the counsel, and n the interim the other defendants, who were in prison, were put to the bar to plead. TV. Carrier, TV. Prouting Roberts, and H. Vincent (lately in custody at Monmouth), were indicted for sedi tiously, unlawfully, and tumultuously assembling, with others unkn own , on the I 9 th November, 1838, armed with fire and other weapons, and, by seditious, inflamatory, and unlawful speeches endeavouring to inflame and excite the people to hatred and contempt of the Government and Constitution of the Realm. William Potts, William Tucker, John Andrews, and Samuel Harding, were indicted for a like offence on the 6th of May last. To these indictments the defendants severally pleaded " Not guilty." Mr. COCKBURN then said, that if his client wished him to adopt a course different from what he stated yesterday, he should withdraw himself from the defence. Mr. Roberts said the prisoners, if not tried now, must of necessity be imprisoned for eight months; bail was required of such an amount that they could not possibly get from men of their own station, and they could not apply to ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I others. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ITICITIy wished to know if they desired to be tried now. Mr. Roberts said they wished to be tried, they desired to be tried under every disadvantage, even the present one. Carrier asked what amount would be required of those now in custody. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said themselves in 150!., and three sureties in :M. each. ....„ - Carrier said they would agree to that. Mr. Roberts having conferred with the prisoners, said that Andrews, Harding, and Tucker preferred to be tried now. They could not procure bail, and it would be a great hardship to keep them in gaol. Mr. ERIE was quite willing to leave it with his Lordship. . _ Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, if it was so great a hard ship to the prisoners to be tried immediately, as well as to be bound to find bail, he could adjourn this Commission. Don't let it be said the defendants were under any hard ship ; he would come back here from Bristol, and that would afford them abundant time to prepare. Those three defendants then entered into their own re cognizances, in 1001. each, to appear at the next Assizes, or sooner if called upon, and were discharged. After some further discussion, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said Mr. Roberts' bail would be, himself in 5001., and three sureties in 2501. each ; three days' notice of bail to -be given to the prosecutor's attorney. _ Mr. 'COCKBURN could not ask his Lordship to make any order, but perhaps an intimation from the Bench would have the same effect. He understood that when Mr. Roberts was before committed, he had been subjected to a good deal of rigour and hardship. He had been handcuffed and treated with a good deal of severity, as if he had been a convicted felon. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE should have thought that a com mon felon, even after conviction, should not be handcuffed without some absolute necessity. Mr. Eng said, whatever was necessary for safe custody the gaoler was bound to adopt. Mr. Roberts begged to ask his Lordship to make a spe cific order that he should not be handcuffed, nor have a straw bed nor an iron bedstead, and that be might be al lowed to have newspapers, and correspond without his letters being read by the g ao l er. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, without knowing the circum stances, was bound to suspend his judgment. Nothing of that kind ought to be done, unless under extraordinary circumstances, and there was a remedy for any grievance. Mr. Roberts had Written to the Secretary of State, and had been refused. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE must suppose the Secretary of State had good grounds for his refusal. If a gaoler did anything that was improper, the party should apply to the Visiting Magistrates for redress. Mr. Roberts had done so. Mr. Justice CoLnatnoc had no doubt the Magistrates were justified in what they had done. Carrier wished to know what authoiity justified the gaoler preventing his attorney visiting him. He begged for an order on that point. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE could not make the order. The Magistrates made gaol regulations, and they might appear hard. If there was any ground of complaint it should bo made to the Visiting Magistrates, who were bound to take notice of it. Carrier had mentioned it to the Visiting Magistrate, who refused to make an order because Mr. Roberts was a co delinquent at the time. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that was his reason, and he was not prepared to say that he was wrong. The defen dants were not to suppose they would be treated with severity. Carrier would not have supposed it, had he not expe. rienced it. Potts said, when taken to Salisbury gaol he bad been handcuffed, immured in a dungeon, and denied the use of any books but religious books. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE presumed it was according to the prison regulations; he could not alter them. He did not know that there was any great hardship in being con fined to the use of religious books. Mr. Roberts had been just informed by the goaler, that he would not be allowed to see his clerk in private. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE could not see any objection to that being allowed. The goaler said, the prison regulations directed it. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—What, when a prisoner is committed until, he finds bail ? The gaoler answered, that it applied to all prisoners. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE thought that rule might be dis pensed with. Mr. Roberts must ask that he might not sleep on a straw bed? Mr. Justice COLERIDGE did not se e w h y h e was to make any difference in the situation of Mr. Roberts and other parties. Why was not the equality contended for to apply in this case ? Mr. Roberts (with great emphasis. )_Then I have a renewed conviction, and shall oppose the present system. The defendant was then taken into the dock. MIDLAND ClRCUlT—NorrixamAm, Jurx 19. The commission was opened for this town and county yesterday by Mr. Justice Littledale, who, after attending divine service, proceeded to the town hall to dispose of the town prisoners. His labours in this respect were light, for there were only two cases of larceny on the calendar, and one of uttering a forged bill of exchange, in which latter case the indictment was removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench. There were also three civil causes for trial in the town, one of which was an action of trespass to try the right to a passage to a cellar, and the other two were actions on bills of exchange. The county bbsiness was commenced this morning, Mr. Justice Littledale presiding on the civil side, Lord Abin ger in the Crown Court. There were only three cap ses Ratcrectfor trial, besides two,indictmenta which - Val - b 4 Ceir removed by certiorari into the Court of .Qizetn's Bench. His Lordship disposed of two of the causes to-day. The Charles Best was indicted for bigamy. Mr. Wildman Nosecuted and Mr Wilmore defended. The prisoner's first wife, it appeared, to whom he was married in 1814, was an ill. conducted woman, and left him, and in 1817 he mar ried another woman, with whom he lived fo , upwards of 20 years, when he married a third wife, the first having died in a year or two after his second marriage. The present prosecution was instituted by his second wife, who admitted she had known of his offence for upwards of 19 years. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Lord ABINGER observed on the staleness of the prosecu tion, although the prosecutrix had been aware of the pri soner's guilt for 19 years. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment. _ _ The other prisoner charged with bigamy was undefended, and, being convicted, was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Joint Bailey, aged 16, pleaded guilty to an indecent as sault upon a boy, and was sentenced to six months' impri sonment. John Driver, aged 26, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Ann Hancock, at the parish of Caunton, on the 15th of March last. Mr. CLARKE conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended by Counsel. He was a labouring man, about 26 yeara of age ; his appearance presented nothing remarkable, but although very attentive to all that was said by the witnesses, he seemed perfectly unmoved by a sense of the awful situation in which he stood. There were eighteen or twenty witnesses examined for the prose cution, but to the question put to him at the close of the examination in chief of each, " if he wished to a. , ,k them anything," he invariably replied " No, my Loid ;" and when called upon at the close of the case to make his defence to the Jury, he merely observed that he had no thing to say.—Verdict of Guilty. His Lordship pronounced sentence of death upon him in the usual form, and ordered his body to be buried within the precincts of the gaol. The prisoner left the bar apparently as unmoved as he had seemed to be throughout the whole of his trial. SATURDAY, JULY 20. An indictment for an assault, growing out of a public. house squabble, was tried before Lord ABINGER. It was unworthy of notice. The remaining causes disposed of before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE were equally devoid of interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. On Saturday Inspector Brake, of the City police, brought before the Loan MAYOR a Scotch shepherd, named Alexander Stewart, who appeared to be in a deplorable state of mind. The Inspector staled that the poor shepherd applied to him cn the preceding day, having been robbed of Bank m-,tcs to the amount of 100/., which be had been accumu lating for years. Information was at once given to the metropolitan police, as well as to all the branches of the City force ; and a description was also instantly circulated of the person of the thief, of whom no trace has. yet been found. The LORD MAYOR thought that a statement of the facts in the public Picas might lea() to the discovery of the offender. " The Inspector said that he had before he brought the shepherd before the Lord Mayor inquired into the circum stances, and found that the man's statement was correct. It was indeed lamentable enough. He had come to Lon don from Edinburgh, in the neighbourhood of which he had laboured for several years, brought up seven children, and put by the sum above-mentioned. It struck him that he could apply his experience and skill as a shepherd to more advantage in Australia, and he accordingly dis posed of whatever furniture he had, came with his wife and family to London, and paid for berths in a vessel to South Australia to the Secretary of the South Australian Colonization Office for himself his wife and four of the children. For the three other children be was to pay before the vessel sailed. On his way to London, he came unfortunately across a country man of his, named Donald Ross, who said that he was going to the same country to try and better his condition. The shepherd's property being in Soetch Bank notes, pay able in London, and he being a stranger, Ross offered to get them all changed, and the poor credulous fellow put them into his hand, never supposing that his countryman. who seemed to have plenty of money of his own, would play the robber. Ross, however, never returned, and the shepherd was left with his family, and no more than one pound in pocket. The LoaD MAYOR expressed very great surprise at want of common caution in the Scotchman. If the loser hap pened to come from any other country, there might be no cause for astonishment. The shepherd rubbed the tears from his eyes with the cuff of his coat, but made no reply. The inspector said that the vessel was to sail for South Australia on the 10th of August, and the shepherd was provided with all the necessary papers. but there was twenty-three pounds to he paid for the passage of three of the children; and the unfortunate man was overwhelmed with grief at his condition, which prevented him even from supporting his family until the day the vessel was to The thief was a most cruel one, for the shepherd having left his watch, which wanted slight repairs, at a jeweller's shop, Ross called as soon as he got possession of the notes, paid a shilling for the repair, and took away the watch. The LORD Mayon said lie had no doubt that the Aus tralian Colonisation Company would supply the passage gratis to the three children, and that the Governors of the Scottish Hospital would willingly take the case into con sideration, although he supposed they would be surprised and indignant at the want of national circumspection in their countryman. Inspector Brake, who zealously undertook the service of the shepherd, then left the justice-room to make fur ther inquiries, and to carry into effect the directions of the Lord Mayor. - SAS Pc - (71! f Ea. A .—A meeting of mer chants and others interested in putting an end to the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland, was held on Thursday, at the Commercial Buildings in Dublin. ESCAPE OF A BEAlt.—During the present week reports have been prevalent in Chesterfield that a bear had escaped from a menagerie in the neighbourhood of Eckington or Sheffield, and had found its way to Ady, Hasland, Normanton, and many of the surrounding villages. Every succeeding day brought reports to the effect that the bear had slept during the night in Mr. So-and- So's corn field, and that it had on the following morning deliberately walked to the swill-tub on the said gentleman's premises, raised its paws with the greatest sagacity to take off the cover, and after drinking till " nature's claims were tho roughly discharged," walked collectedly away again to the woods and fields. Many were the valorous attempts made to shoot the dangerous intruder ; and strange and wonder ful were the stories told. One individual actually asserted that he came in contact with the bear on the high road— that he politely made way for it to pass him—and was ho noured with a friendly recognition by way of a growl, and a not very cheerful inclination of the head. Another—de termined, we suppose, to " out-Herod Herod," made it known to his neighbours that he had had a fearful conflict with the monster, and that nothing but his own superior agility saved him from the unpleasantness of being hugged by its paws. Assertions such as these passed current for several flays; but we need not say that the whole turns out to be a hoax, and that the bear has only had an existence in the imagination of the credulous. All those who may have been foolish enough to run miles in search of " the ugly monster," will have this consolation even in their dis apnointment—namely, that it will teach them a little more wisdom for the future.—Derbyshire Chronicle. JEALOUSY AND ASSAULT.—On Saturday, at the Kensington Petty Sessions, William Inglestone was charged with threatening the life of Mr. S. Barnard. The complainant became jealous of the defendant's attention to his wife, with whom he had been seen walking out, in con sequence of which a separation had taken place between them. As the complainant was leaving the office after a previous examination, the defendant threatened to do for him ( Mr. Barnard), and used very disgusting and insult ing language to him about his wife. This the defendant denied, alleging that he merely requested the complainant to refrain from casting imputations upon him which were without foundation. In answer to the Bench, the defendant solemnly called Heaven to witness that he had never taken the smallest liberty with the complainant's wife. On pro mising not to molest Mr. Barnard again, the Magistrate dismissed the warrant, and told the complainant that his ItrsTittarrenttrtritt fettritttitttrittlf ovety — nrtn whose wife had taken the arm of a male friend in the streets was to become jealous the peace of society would be at an end. The Report was then ordered to be received. Mr. HETHERINGTON moved, seconded by Mr. JAMES TAYLOR, that copies of the address be forwdrded to the Editors of the different papers. Dr. M`DouALL suggested that before the address was ordered to be printed a copy be placed in the hands of each member, in order that they might make such amendments as they thought necessary, and moved an amendment to that effect. Mr. DEEGAN thou,ght that each member should be fur nished with a copy in the first instance, and therefore seconded the amendment. Mr. BURNS was in favour of the publication of the ad dress. Dr. TAYLOR had no great confidence in the middle classes generally, but be thought such an address would be of considerable value in the northern parts of the country, arid he should support the issuing of it immediately. The original motion was agreed to by a majority of 20 to 4. P n adjournment for half-an-hour then took place, in order to allow the Defence Committee to meet. The Members assembled again at half-past one. Dr. M'Docant. presented the recommendations of the Committee appointed to consider the time for the com mencement of the sacred month. They recommended that the trades of the country should take proper steps to carry cut the sacred month ; that the unemployed labourers be advised to hold meetings on the 12th August, for the pur pose of requesting relief from all rates, and assistance from t he'r more wealthy fellow-countrymen ; that the whole people of the United Kingdom be recommended to meet on the 12th August, for the purpose of entering a protest against the proceedings of the present Government. and to declare their firm adherence to the principles of the Charter—and that all persons be recommended to grant only promissory notes to those shopkeepers, whom tey called upon to supply them with food during the sacred month. After some desultory discussion upon a point of order, the recommendations were referred back to the Committee, on the ground that they had not been agreed to by a ma jority of the Committee, some mistake having occurred as to the time of meeting for agreeing to the address. Mr. F. O'Connor here entered the room and was re ceived with much cheering. 1/. ss. 'was handed in by Mr. Cameron from the St. Andrews, Clerkenwcll, Charter Association. Dr. M‘Docann moved the suspension of the standing orders for the purpose of moving that a Committee of two persons be appointed to proceed to Birmingham to prepare for the defence of Mr. Lovett, Mr. Collins, and Dr. Taylor. Mr. PITKEITIILEY moved that the orders be not sus. pended, on the ground that if they sent Delegates to one place where prosecutions were going on they must send them to all places, and it was impossible to spare Members. of the Convention. After a discussion, in which it was conceded that the Conveution ought to defend Mr. Lovett in the best man ner, on the motion of Mr. F. O'CONNOR the matter was left to Mr. Lovett himself. The Convention was then adjourned. T:ie following is the Address which was agreed to— FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN,—We, the Members of the General Convention, deeply impressed with a desire to allay all party feuds and class animosities, address you, at the present alarming crisis of our country's fate, to solicit your aid in the righteous struggle in which we are en gaged. We are struggling to restore to the industrious millions their long-withheld political rights ; to promote the cause of efficient reform ; and to secure to the indus trious working people of England permanent prosperity and happiness. We believe these glorious objects can all be easily obtained by a wise application of the vast resources of our beloved country for that purpose ; and we, therefore, call upon you, who are invested with the elec tive franchise, to co-operate with us in establishing, as the law of the land, the Pcoplc's Charter; which Charter confers upon every honest and intelligent Englishman a voice in the election of the legislators of his country. " You, the middle classes, as well as ourselves, declare that you desire good government. It is asserted that you are anxious the people of England should have just laws impartially administered ; that rational liberty should be the distinguishing characteristic of our country ; that trade and conanerce should be free, and encouraged by the re moval of all unjust restrictions ; that all monopolies should be abolished ; and, in short, that one class—and that the most wealthy class—should no longer be allowed to cast the whole burden of the State from their own shoulders to those of their more humble but more deserving fellow countrymen. If, then, you honestly desire the accomplishment of these things, why hesitate to join our ranks ? Disunited, both - classes are comparatively powerless ; united, every just ob ject is attainable. Many of you, it appears, are opposed to us on account of the violence of language which is said to have characterised the speeches of some of those who have taken an active part in the present Chartist movement. It should be recollected, however, that if what you deem strong or intemperate language did cha.. racterise the speeches of some individuals in our ranks, such language was, according to your own admission, con fined to a few who were, perhaps, excited by their own urgent necessities, or by their strong sympathies with the sufferings and oppressions which they have witnessed around them ; but it by no means warrants the deductions that our enemies have so pertinaciously drawn from it. The great body of the working classes—the honest and industrious toilers of this country—are as much opposed to invading the rights of others, or to the inflicting of injustice of any kind upon any portion of society, as they are determined to persevere in their peaceful agitation for political emancipation. They will, you may rest assured, never abandon their efforts till they have placed themselves on a footing of political equality with the other classes of society. If, therefore, your professions are sincere, we are in pursuit of common objects—namely, RATIONAL REFORM, AND PERMANENT PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS FOR OUR COUNTRY. How ' then, are these righteous objects to be accomplished ? There are but two modes. The first is—Bv FORCE ; which, as it is the worst mode of accomplishing a rational object, we have never sanctioned, except as a last resort, or in self-defence, against unconstitutional, unlawful, and atro cious attacks upon the people when peaceably and legally assembled for public purposes, such as have been recently made upon the people by the Mayor and Magistrates of Birmingham. The second is—BY LEGISLATIVE ENACT MENTS EMANATING FROM A HOUSE FULLY REPRESENT. ING EVERY CLASS OF THE PEOPLE; which IS the only just and legitimate mode of making those alterations and improvements called for by the progress of human events. Hence it is evident that you, the middle classes, are highly culpable in longer obstructing the attainment of those changes in the representation that will confer upon the people at large the elective franchise. Whatever, there fore, may be the consequences of your refusal, they will be directly chargeable upon yourselves. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for either the working or middle class to obtain any substantial reform, by peaceful and ra tional means, while their common enemy can keep them disunited ; but let a union take place, for the purpose of carrying into effect the principles of the People's Charter, and then those progressive improvements in the condition of the people will immediately commence that u ltimately will make our beloved country free, prosperous, and happy. on It unfortunately happens that the creduloush e that g your class still hope for some amelioration , of afflict our country from the House of Constrnoottn j y o , s a t s if at t p h r e e i - r sent constituted.

Andi Members f use also who the drd not vote on the occasion were all n favour of the Ballot, and had attende d and voted, that question would, notwithstanding, have been hopelessly rejected. Will a better fate attend your e ndeavours to procure the repeal of those obnoxious laws which are considered as peculiarly affecting the interest of your class ? It is absurd to expect it. upon e very question of importance.

Observe, also how UNEQUAL is the taxation imposed by a House of Commons representing but a small portion of the people. In innumerable instances the nobility and gentry of the land escape, while the in dustrious artisan and tradesmen are taxed' to the utmost limit of endurance. We see, by law, probate duty rigidly exacted from the intelligent and skilful tradesman on all personal property disposed of by will; while, with great partiality and injustice, the real estates of the nobility. and gantry, under the side Ciraumttifileakierdrefiipler 11 - 0 - 6 payment.

AR UNDEL YACHT CLUB.—A very excellent match amongst the yachts belonging to the members of this club took place on Monday. The contest was for a handsome silver cup, pre sented to the Ciub by T. Hellas, Esq., a great patron of river sports, and owner of r some beautiful craft. The distance had been originally fixed from Greenwich to Gravesend and back ; but at the last Club meeting it was determined to moor the rounding boat at Greenhithe, as distance sufficiently great to try the sailing merits of any vessel of the regulated size. At half-past twelve the signal was given to get ready, and the Dauntless, Arrow, Briton, Bermudian Maid, and Sylph's crews were all in readiness. The Sylph was the first boat, the Dauntless second, the Briton third, and the Arrow fourth. They ran down the different reaches without any change in the leading or second boat, occasionally nearing one another, as they best caught the wind, so as to leave but a few lengths from the bowsprit of one to the stern of the other. They rounded the boat at Greenhithe in the following order !—The Sylph, four minutes past three ; the Dauntless, five minutes 40 sec. ; the Briton, six min. ; the Arrow, six min. 30 sec. ; and the Bermudian Maid, eight min. 10 sec. They turned into the slack, and came up over the tide. The Dauntless, in beating up, with but little wind, gained on each board slightly on the leading boat, and off Purr-:et weathered the Sylph, maintained the advantage, and arrived at Greenwich at 14 minutes past seven, the Sylph 15 minutes past, the Briton 16 mm. 30 sec., and the Arrow 10 mm. later. The latter and carried away their main halliards in coming up.; THE CROPS. Many of our country Contemporaries continue to furnish accounts of the crops as unfavourable as those alluded to on Monday. The following few extracts from the provin cial Papers received to-day speak the language of perhaps the majority : Several farmers in the neighbourhood of Bradford, who expected, from the appearance of the grass, heavy crops, have ham much disappointed, the grass, when mown, being very thin.—HaVax Express. The wheat, which everywhere promised an abundant crop, has been " laid low," presenting over a large breadth of country the appearance of having been rolled. Should the stem not be able to resume its upright position, and the weather not be warm and showery, the mischief will be incalcu!able. Some damage has also been done in the hop_ gardens, which, however, have not throughout the 'season given hopes of a large crop. The present time is very critical in respect of the grain crops, and ardently do we hope that we shall immediately have fine weather, for the sake of all classes. We regret to add that the weather throughout yesterday continued equally unpropitious; we had boisterous March winds with heavy April showers.— Hereford Times. The wet weather of the week has materially interfered with the hay harvest ; and we regret to state that large quartites are lying in the fields in a half made state. Where it is much damaged, the farmers would do well to salt it in the proportion of eight pounds to a ton, which would make it very palatable to cattle. The swathe cuts light. The crops of grain are very promising all through the country. Fine weather is much desired for them. The 1 potato crop has been a partial failure.—Liverpool Christ.% SCOTLAND. A great deal of rain has fallen this week We have heard complaints of the corn being laid in low-lying dis tricts, in some places, so flat as to afford little hope of its rising again. The gardeners are grumbling sadly about the damage done to the fruit, particularly the strawberries. —Aberdeen Herald. Within' the last few days a somewhat disagreeable change has taken place in the elements, and the genial warmth of summer has temporarily given place to storm and flood. Monday last, which was sacred to St. Swithin, gave alternate sunshine and shower; but public confidence in the watery Saint has been so sadly shaken in these latter times, that even the weather-wise don't assume that his influence over the succeeding forty days will ex ceed that of Murphy " with his weather eye." The nights, however, of Wednesday and Thursday last, were really boisterous ; and while the rain battered against the casements, the blasts rose l'and fell in angry gusts ; and yesterday rain fell heavily during the greater part of the day. At sea the waves rolled alarmingly high, for this period of the year at least, and we understand that several of the steamers had pretty stormy pas. sages into the Clyde. On the afternoon of Wednesday last a numerous party of young gentlemen belonging to the city hired a river -steamer, and departed for the purpose of en joying a day's shooting amongst the myriad feathered population of Ailsa Craig; but the elements said nay, and launching the fleet of small boats with which the vessel was provided was out of the question. In their return the crew could not take the channel, and were con strained to seek refuge under the lee of Arran, and strug gle through the Kyles of Bute into the Clyde; altogether, the party returned indifferently pleased with a trip from which they had anticipated no little enjoyment. This sum mer blast, however, has bad no effect in blighting the promise of plenty which is apparent over all the land, with the exception that it may retard for a space the saving of the hay, which the rain caught in swathe. A gentleman who has gone over an extensive section of Scot land within the last few days, reports that the oats and barleys especially are coming away beautifully, and that those localities are rare where they do not promise an average crop, while in many they will be beyond it. In the higher districts, however, the harvest cannot be ex pected to be an early one. The green crops are rowing in good style, and, unless znarred by some unexpected blight, will give a retur n decidedly beyond that of the last bree seasons.—Glasgoto Mad.

One gardener, whose gr oun d s are in the neigh. b o urhood of Mortlake, brought e i g h ty h alf-sieves of cher ries, each containing twelve pounds, a considerable portion of which were damaged by the fury of the elements. These were all sold at a serious sacrifice to the owner. Large junks and baskets of apples and pears, blown from the trees and not half ripe, were subject to the same depre ciation. It is a fortunate circumstance that Government turned a deaf ear to the remonstances of Sir E. Knatchbull and others, who were anxious to levy an additional duty on apples, pears, plums, cherries, and currants, imported from France, Holland, and Belgium. Had this purpose been eff,2cted, the poor people would have been seriously abridged of their comforts and little luxuries during the winter. The havoc among the fruit-trees, in every direction, is quite in describable. There was an abundant supply of vegetables, especially cauliflowers, lettuces, cabbages, spinach, F ta r t e n n ea ch , beans, broad beans, turnips, carrots, onions, and . po t _ all at a reasonable price.
