Were found one brace and a half of pistols, a flask full of powder, and a large quantit ; , of balis and capi ; ucd on C;.! other prisoner I found two brace of pistols and a large quantity of gunpowder and ball. Frost, Partridge, and about a dozen others are now in custody, the former charged with treason and sedition. The town during the past night has been tranquil, and nothing like a dis turber of the peace was to be heard or seen. Only one of the military, a sergeant, has been hurt, and he not seriously. Several of the inhabitants have been wounded. M r . M organ , a respecta bl e d raper , li v i ng in C ommercial -street, was shot in the chest, and is now 'Pug in a dangerous state. It is due to all the inhabi tants to say that they are entitled to great credit, and that every man among them has no b ly performed his duty., Our Member, and highly respected neighbour, Mr. Blewitt, has been constantly at his post, and indefa tigable in the performance of his Magisterial duties. The Magistrates will sit this morning to hear and in vestigate the charges against the prisoners, and you shall again hear from me to-morrow with further in formation. Mr. Blewitt has, by this day's post, written to Lord Normanby, strongly advising the issuing of a special commission for the immediate trial of the prisoners. (From the Morning Chronicle.) BRISTOL, MONDAY, 11 P.M, Since I wrote you a hurried account of the informa tion I had received of the dreadful occurrences at New port, I have made diligent inquiry in every quarter likely to be possessed of authentic intelligence, the re sult of which I shall now proceed to give. It appears that correct information of the outbreak was commu nicated to the Magistrates of this city by Mr. Giradon, brother of the respected Coroner for Bristol, of whom, as also from Captain Jeffries of the Usk Newport steamer, Captain Allen of the Nautilus steamer, and the guard of the Welsh mail, and three of the passengers, I have gleaned the following particulars. First, however, I should premise that the Magistrates of Newport had gained some information of the intentions of the rioters, and they were, indeed, assembled at the Westgate Hotel with all the military force they could muster, about sixty soldiers of the 45th Regt., a portion of whom were stationed in the yard of the hotel, and the remainder on Stowe-hill. The Magistrates had also taken the pre caution to send an express to Bristol for more troops, and about fifty lancers marched from here this evening, at eight o clock. I learn from the parties mentioned above, that the Chartists commenced their operations on Sunday ; and in the course of that day had collected about 10,000 men, blowing out all the furnaces as they proceeded, and pressing every man into their service, chiefly from the neighbourhood of Blackwood, Pont y- Pool, and Caerfilly. At four o'clock on Monday morning the rioters halted, being then near the beautiful seat of Sir Charles Morgan, Treadeager-park, about three miles from Newport, and waited till six o'clock for a fresh body of insurgents to join them from Pont-y-pool. At about ten o'clock they divided themselves into two , bodies ; one, under the command of Mr. John Frost, ex-Magistrate and Chartist delegate, marched down Charles-street, the principal street ; and the other under the direction of Mr. Frost's son, a lad of about fourteen took the direction of Stowe-hill, The two divisions met at the Westgate Hotel, where the Magistrates were assembled, and, after giving three cheers for the Charter, commenced a most furious at tack on the Hotel. Every window in the house was brok en , an d t h e s l ugs f rom t h e guns an d mus k ets were 1 flying in all directions. The Mayor, T. Phillips, Esq., was wounded, and several of the respectable inhabitants who were acting as special constables, as mentioned in my previous account. The soldiers made a sally, and gallantly charged the rioters, who, after a show of re sistance, fled, leaving a great quantity of arms in the streets, nine of their misguided companions dead, and now lying in the yard of the hotel, and about twenty wounded, many of them mortally. The main body then tetreated into the fields ; amongst them their leader, Frost, made his escape. It is very generally expected that an attempt will be trade to fire the town to night. Several communi cations have been received in Bristol to-night, which rathe r confirm this impresssion, added to which the C omparatively defenceless state of the town nukes ru e extremely fearful that some such horrible attempt may be made. It appears to have been the intention of the rioters to have taken Possession of and pillaged Newport, and then to have marched on Monmouth to liberate Vincent and his companions from gaol. They have solemnly sworn that Vincent shall not remain in prison after the sth Novem ber, and it is now extremely doubtful whether or not an attempt was made to release Vincent simultaneously ly ; th the attack at Newport. The greatest excitement Pre veils throughout South Wales. The guard of the trail Mates that from 7,000 to 10,000 teen were col lecting on the hills near Risca, and it was expected that an attack would be made at Brecon and Merthyr. The m agistratee of Cardiff had, however, been apprised of I s be intentions of these wretched men, and who had t :" kitting during the whole of Sunday night ; and u'Y all the respectable inhabitants were sworn in as n,"penal constables, and the militia and cavalry called s " Sit pieces of cannon were planted in the streets, ' that it is hoped these precautionary measures will Prevent any sach serious attempt being made as that at Newport. , 'Th e f o llowing, amongst other private letters, has teen read at the Commercial Rooms here (Bristol), and tht,gr ea test excitement prevails : .txtract from a letter, dated Newport , 9 a.m. , November 4 : , " There is sad work here ; the Chartists are coming totvn from the hills in great numbers, and all of them are well armed.

Our worthy Mayor, Mr. Blewitt Member for the Borough, Mr. Brener, and all the t other Magistrates, remained up all night at the West ,. s c.,tiere also ~ , c ro sol,lier , , of CI 45th Regiment. At five o'clock this morning informa tion was brought in that fifty thousand men from the works at Caerfilly, Blackwood, Meehan, Risca, and other places had halted just outside of Sir Charles Morgan's park, Tredegar. In an hour more it was currently reported that they had attacked the mansion, and in another hour they were seen marching towards this town. They reached here at between eight and nine o'clock, and entered the town in two bodies, the one coming through the principal streets, and the other marching round by way of Stowe-hill. After proceeding through the principal streets they marched to the Westgate Inn, which they immediately attacked, firing upon it with their fire-arms, and demo• lishing the windows and doors with their pikes and axes. The soldiers, who were stationed in the house, imme diately came to the windows, and after a little time fired upon the insurgents, doing much execution. The rioters returned the fire, and wounded the Mayor, some of the soldiers, and several special constables ; but in a short time, perceiving that a number of their compa nions had been killed, they retreated, and retired to a short distance from the town, where they are now sta tioned, with the avowed object of returningin larger numbers to-morrow." In addition to the foregoing, I am informed that about fifteen or twenty Chartists have been killed, and twice as many dangerously wounded. The Mayor was shot through the arm and in the groin. A ser geant of the 45th was shot in the head, and several of the constables have received wounds from fire-arms and sabres. It is also said that an attack was made this afternoon on Brecon, where a similar scene of bloodshed took place, but I have been unable trace this informa tion to any authentic source. Despatches have been received at our Council House, and a detachment of the 10th Hussars has marched this evening for Newport. All accounts con cur in the expectation that the town will be fired to night. I have just seen a gentleman who left this afternoon, and whose remark to me was, " I have seen many things in my life, but never anything which looked to me more dreadful." The following extracts from letters have been posted and read in our Commercial Rooms. They will be read with interest by our readers ; they are both from respectable persons, and may he relied on : " Newport, Monday, Nov. 4.

Extract from a letter received by Mr. Fisher, wine merchant, Bristol : TORY DISLOYALTY AT CAN TERBURY-PUBLIC MEETING. CANTERBURY, TUESDAT, Nov. 5. The treasonable language reported to have been used by Mr. Bradshaw, the Tory Member for this city, has, I find, excited the strongest feeling of indignation amid all classes here, excepting those who are well known as the shameless and audacious partisans of a desperate faction. As soon as the sentiments of Mr. Bradshaw were published, it was resolved to hold a public meeting. I find, amongst the other measures adopted for giving expression to the public sentiments, was a placard, in which the writer thus expresses himself : " To THE BURGESSES AND INHABITANTS OF CAN- TERBURY. " Gentlemen,—Our ancient eity has again become a spectacle for the rest of England. By the Tory speches made at the late registration dinner, we, as a body, ap pear to the world as the most bigoted and intolerant, as well as the most disloyal people in the whole of her Majesty's dominions." The writer having remarked upon the conduct of Mr. Bradshaw, and of the Rev. Doctor Russell as his support e r thus conclud es :—" It i s ti me we re pudiate these feelings, and let the world know that they belong not to Canterbury generally, hut only to a few ultra Tories in the city, a few country gentlemen from the neighbourhood, and nearly the whole of the clergy of this Metropolitan See." The hour fixed for the public meeting was twelve o'clock, and in a few minutes afterwards the Guildhall was completely filled. Shortly afterwards Lord Albert Conyngham appeared upon the bench, and was received with enthusiastic cheers from all parts of the meeting. These cheers were frequently renewed. The Mayor, Cooper, Esq., upon taking the chair, was received with loud cheers. Amongst those present we noticed Lord A. Conyng ham, Sir William Somerville, the Mayor, Aldermen Henry Conyngham, Brent, Massers, Neame, Flint, Major James, Rev. J. James, Rev. A. M. Walker, and J. Brent, jun. Town-Council—Mr.W.Plummer, James Roberts, Wm. Golden, W. Bowman, Joseph Mathews, J. Halliday, Thomas Wilkinson, J. Minter, &c. The MAYOR then said, I can assure you that I I never undertook a task of a more agreeable nature, than that of giving the inhabitants of Canterbury an opportunity of repudiating the stigma which has been cast upon them.—(Cheers.) I trust you will give every one an opportunity of being heard, for you must know that the greatest stain which attaches to our city was cast on us, in consequence of the clamorous conduct imputed to the friends of the people. You must recollect that this was the ground of excuse which the Tories took fbr putting in nomination, as a fit person to represent you in Parliament, a maniac and a murderer. It was not likely that we should suffer ourselves to be dis graced by having such a person thrust upon our choice. Nor can we suffer the same Tories, with Mr. Bradshaw at their head, to affix to our town the stain of disloyalty which his observations, if left uncontradicted, would go to justify.--(Cheers.) We cannot prevent the Tories from dedicating a tower on one of the highest mounds of our county to ignorance and superstition, in the shape of a monument to Courtenay, and thus perpetuating the disgrace which that wretched person has cast upon our neighbourhood. But we will never suffer them to an swer for our loyalty to our Sovereign, to support whose prerogative we would all cheerfully lay down our lives. —(Tremendous cheering.) I shall not open this meet ing by any piece of cant or hypocrisy ; but I propose that we commence it by giving three che ers f or th e Queen.—(Thi s p ro p osa l o f the Mayor was responded to by one of the most soul-stirring bursts of applause we have ever heard in any public assembly.) Alderman BRENT rose to move the first resolution, and said—The public press has nobly done its duty.— (Cheers.) It has almost relieved the people of Can terbury from the necessity of vindicating our gracious Sovereign from the reproach cast upon her, and repu diating the doctrines addressed to a large and respect able audience, amongst which I am sorry to say they found a ready echo. We were, however, persuaded that the liberal portion of the people of Canterbury were not altogether absolved by the exertions of the press from the duty of coming boldly forward, and saying, in the language held in another place, " we will put on a fearless front, and may God defend the right." —(Cheers.) And here I may be allowed, I hope, to say that, if there be in this assembly one more indebted " Newport, Nov. 4. " Our town is in a state of alarm. We have had a most dreadful riot ; in fact it is not over yet, as we fully expect the Chartists will set fire to the town to night. Dead bodies are lying in the streets. There are about twelve killed, and 3 great many wounded. They came down in a body of about 20,000 from the ironworks. We expect about 200 soldiers by the packet immediately. No person is allowed to go out of his house. Nearly all the families have left the town." I shall be in Newport in four hours from this, and will lose no time in communicating every particular. (From our Second Edition of yesterday.) BRISTOL, Monday Evening. This morning 10,000 Chartists marched into New port, and commenced an attack with fire-arms on the place where the Magistrates' meeting is held. They were headed by Frost. The 45th Regiment was called out, and behaved with gallantry, putting them to flight in all directions. The Mayor was shot through the arm with a bullet, two special constables were danger ously and others slightly wounded, and a sergeant of the line is also shot in the head, but not killed. Eleven Chartists are killed, and several others mor tally wounded. A large body of them marched from Merthyr this morning to attack Brecon. We are just informed that the Chartists are re organising, and it is expected will attack the town to night, 15,000 strong. All the respectable families are leaving. to the efforts of the press than another, I am that per son. Although it is a topic irrelevant to the object of this meeting, I cannot help referring to the noble and triumphant advocacy with which the press supported the cause of an oppressed individual in my person, and inflicted a punishment on the offenders which, though perhaps but condign, really excited my commiseration for them, as too severe for their offences.—(Hear, hear.) I shall now pass to the resolution which I wish to bring under yotir notice. Before I come to the speech of Mr. Bradshaw, I would remark upon one phrase made use of by a Reverend Gentleman, in proposing the resolutiou to which Mr. Bradshaw addressed him self. One of the most serious maladies which can afflict humanity, their truly honourable and independent Member (Lord A. Conyngham) was visited with. I could never think that Toryism was so debasing in its character, even under the prospect of a Hanoverian rule in this country—so subversive of all right feeling and humanizing tendencies in the breasts of its votaries —that a man could be found amongst that party, pro fessing the holy character of a clergyman of the Church, who did not hesitate to make a mocking allusion to one of the most sacred dispensations of Providence.—( Hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, I did not turn upon the word ; but the Reverend Gentleman's allusion to the " affec tion of the heart" of a public adversary, shows his heart not to be in the right place.—(Cheers.), Mr. Bradshaw must stand or fall by the report of his speech in the Kentish Gazette. He had sufficient opportunities to question its accuracy. He has never done so. We have a right, then, to consider it as the speech which he delivered, and it has gone out to the world as such. Never had we a more constitutional Monarch on the (From the Morning lie, ald.) Bristol, Nov. 5, Seven o'Clock, Aar; I sent you yesterday a necessarily hurried account of the alarming Chartist outbreak at Newport, and I now hasten to communicate a more detailed and accurate statement of the riot, together with such further par ticulars as I have been enabled to collect from quarters which may be relied on : For some time past the miners and men 'employed in the numerous iron-works with which South Wales abounds, nearly the whole of whom are Chartists, have been known to hold secret meetings, and it has been declared upon several occasions by those who have been supposed to he their ringleaders, that the sth of November should see no slaves in England ; and that upon that day Vincent, the Chartist delegate (who, as you are aware, is now undergoing a term of im prisonment to which he was sentenced at the last Monmouth Assizes, for sedition), should be 4. King of the Hills." Information of these circumstances were conveyed from time to time to the Magistrates, and a day or two since they were informed, upon authority which it was thought could be relied on, that the 4th of November had been fixed upon as the period for simultaneous attacks on Newport, Brecon, and Monmouth. This information has proved to be too correct, for on the 3d the general rising commenced— the mines and levels in the mountains were deserted— the furnaces were blown out, and the deluded advocates of Chartism commenced their threatened march upon Newport. They first made for Cae-filly iron -works, where they insisted upon blowing out the furnaces, and compelled, using the most dreadful menaces and threats, nearly all the male inhabitants of the place to join with them ; they then proceeded on the road shouting " The Charter 'or death," and compelling all the persons whom they met with in their route to attach themselves to their forces —their num bers having been increased by this means to from 40,000 to 50,000—(two accounts which I have seen state 100,000, but lam inciined to think they must be somewhat exaggerated)—they proceeded towards New port, and at about five o'clock in- the morning halted about two and a half miles out of the town, near Tre degar Park, the seat of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. It is understood that the plan, as originally agreed upon was, that a body of about 8,000 from Pontypool and its neighbourhood should join the main body at this place, that they should then march upon Newport, plunder it of ammunition and provisions, fire it, and then proceed to Monmouth, where, being joined by a third detachment, they were to break open the gaol, release Vincent and the other prisoners, and pillage and burn the town ; and in confirmation of this statement, it was observed that a halt was made near Tredegar for nearly three hours, during which time several scouts were despatched towards Pontypool ; the additional force, however, did not arrive at the expected time, and the order was given to " march," in obe dience to which command the mass hurried on wards towards the town. When they arrived at the outskirts they again halted, and the pikes, guns, pistols, sabres, and other weapons with which they were armed, and which till that time had been in some measure con cealed, were generally displayed, and the body divided itself into two columns, one of which marched into Newport by way of Stowe-hill, and the other by the main entrance to the town, Charles-street. The Magistrates, to whom intelligence of the contemplated attack had been communicated, had, in the mean time, taken the precaution to call out the military, about sixty soldiers of the 45th Regiment of Infantry, and to swear in a number of special constables, all of whom were drawn up in the yard attached to the Westgate Hotel, where also the Magistrates had assembled. It would seem that this circumstance had been with equal care im parted to the leaders of the Chartists, for they imme diately proceeded in the direction of the hotel, and having arrived before it, again halted. They then gave three cheers for the Peoples Charter, and with'numerotts yells and execrations commenced a fire on the hotel. The windows were soon demolished, and the bullets and slugs were flying about in all directions, and several persons, including the Mayor, having been wounded, it was deemed expedient to call the military into action. They were accordingly stationed in the upper apart ments of the hotel, and the Riot Act having been read, and the mob becoming momentarily more furious, the order was given and they fired. As might be expected, from the position in which they stood. every shot pro fmdruocedlao fteoarlf2ulcehffoecrttits,sandwienro ktheilcled course of the afewspot, a minutesnd several others dangerously and fear, mortally wounded. Findingin too themselves instances, worsted, and that from the position occupied by the military, the consequences were almost certain death, the Chartists retreated and took to th e fi e ld s, • when they divided them selves into regularly organised parties. In my communication of yesterday I stated the par ticulars of several who were wounded, and I have only to add the name of Mr. Jones, of Pingwerillvba out a mile from Newport, who was shocki ng l y mangled. I have just seen the guard of the Cardiff mail, who states that at about three o'clock yesterd ay h e saw thou sands of men, armed with guns. piekaxes, marching down the railroad from the Risen ironworks w i t h the avowed object of joining the Chartists at Newport. It is feared that the worst is yet to come ; and you will see, from the letters which I subjoin (which correspond with the information I otherwise received), that a re newed attack was meditated last night. throne. Because she did not choose to proclaim a lie and declare herself favourable to the Tory party— because she would not identify herself with their foul purposes, she is to be branded as an absolute Sove reign, governing the country by her own caprice, and as being herself swayed by the King of Belgium, the serf of France.—(Cheers.) I want to know who is to sway the councils of these realms, if the example of the forced abdication of the Second James, so significantly referred to, were followed? I want to know who is the presumptive heir that is to fill up the vacancy so unblushingly contemplated by the Tories? Why, who but the darling of the party, the Grand Orange Master of Ireland !—(Loud cheers.) It is impossible to place in too strong a light the fact that, if any accident hap pened to the Queen, the Tories look with delight to the succession of the King of Hanover ; and I hope we shall give up our lives to the determination never to allow that man to be Sovereign of this realm who would an nihilate our Constitution with as much readiness as he struck off that of Hanover; or who, when backed by the clerical garb of this country, would secretly undermine, if he did not openly overturn, the liberties of the people. —(Cheers.) The Tories affect to be deeply concerned for the fate of the Queen in being directed by her pre sent Ministers. We have all heard the story of the crocodile rising out of the slime of the Nile, and feel ingly bemoaning the lot of the prey subjected to its cu pidity. I think I can fairly say that if the Tories shed an y tears on the occasion to which I have referred, they were crocodile's tears. I do hope that on the present occasion you will pass this resolution unanimously. It is as follows :—" That the speech lately delivered byf Mr. Bradshaw, and reported in the Kentish Gazette o. the 29th ultimo, is of a highly dangerous and seditious cha ratter, and, if acted upon, would tend to the subversion of the throne, now happily established on the liberties of the people." Alderman NEAME seconded the resolution, which was then put, and every man in the meeting held up his hand in its favour. Lord ALBERT CONYNGHAM moved the next resolu tion. He was received with loud cheers, and pro ceeded to say—Gentlemen, deeply do I lament that a single person could be found in this city who could talk of disturbing the constitutional Monarch of this country in her possession of the throne—of removing that So vereign, to screen-whom from insult or injury there is not one here present that would not shed the last drop of his blood.—(lmmense cheering.) Gentlemen, it is shocking to see a clergyman of the Established Church join in such a cry ; it is shocking, I repeat, to contem plate the hypocrisy of a man, part of whose sacred duty it was to offer up prayers for that Sovereign's welfare, whom he talked of dethroning a few hours after his performance of service.—(Cheers.) And what is the reason of this outbreak ? The cry, for sooth, of " the Church in danger !" Who credits that cuckoo cry ?—(Cheers.) It means that the odious sys tem of tithes has been shaken ; that the equally odious impost of Church-rates has received a blow ; that plurali ties are to be diminished, whilst the remuneration of the estimable and worthy but inferior clergy is to be increased. —(Cheers.) It implies a fear, too, of a system of national education by which, without reference to particular dogmas, the poor might be so schimled as to form a judgment for themselves on public matters.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, we know the Tories have at all times set themselves against the progress of civil and religious li berty. For this reason they wish the King of Han- over to be considered as their head. But, Gentlemen, " forewarned, forearmed." We all know now what Tory tactics aim at ; but as long as there is a drop of blood in our veins, or a spark of life in our bodies, they shall never accomplish their object.—(Great cheer ing.) I shall now propose the second reso l u ti on : " That the sentiments contained in that speech were received by a large body of the clergy, who attended the dinner, clearly shows that however staunch may be their loyalty when they are the sole objects of Royal favour, they are too apt to sound the tocsin of resistance, and to clamour for an exclusive Government, when the full Lord Castlereagh has arrived in town from Paris. hen, fits of religious freedom and general education are attempted to be extended to all her Majesty's subjects." Alderman FLINT rose with much pleasure to second the resolution. Why was there such an outcry now THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, is 39 made by them, who had upon a former occasion been qui• , eent ? could find the cause for it in the course pursued with respect to national education, with the opposition to Church -rates, and many similar sub jects.—(Hear, hear.) And yet they now saw what was the moving principle ; it was a 'clamour against Popery, and it was an outcry against the Court and the Cabinet.—(Cheers.) He certainly was one who was not dead to the signs of the times ; and this he must say, that if Popery were to be diffused, it was much more likely to be diffused by the doctrines which were now fashionable at Oxford.—(Cheers.) He concluded by again seconding the resolution, which passed unani mously. Alderman MASTERS came forward amid loud cheer ing to propose the third resolution. There was, he said, one point with respect to the Tories which always excited the greatest disgust in his mind, and that was the inveterate hatred which the Tories bore to their Irish brethren.—(Cheers.) They were all men under the same Government, and ought to be governed by precisely the self-same laws.—(Hear, hear.) All th Irishmen required was fair dealing ; all that they asked for was that they might be governed by the self same laws.—(Hear, hear.) Let this be done, and let not men talk of any danger to their religion. Let this be done, and he hoped to see the Irish gradually become Protestants. He hoped he might be allowed to remind them of the old fable, which he was sure they all remembered—it was that of the " Traveller and his Cloak," respecting which there was a dispute between the sun and the wind as to which should first induce or compel him to lay it aside. The rude Bareas began with his persecuting north-east blast ; but the more that it blew, the tighter did the traveller grasp his cloak. The sun then began with its warm rays and grateful kindness, and instantly the man laid aside his cloak. Let the same thing be done with respect Ireland ; let justice be done to her.—(Cheers.) The Tories wished to raise a cry against Ireland ; the people of England would not allow them to do so.—(Cheers.) In concurrence with that sentiment, he proposed the following resolution :—" That we solemnly protest against language addressed to our fellow-citizens in Ire land, denouncing them as aliens in blood, language, and religion, believing that the tendency of such expressions must be to inflame their minds, and bring about a crisis at which all good men shudder." Mr. JOHN BRENT seconded the resolution in an able speech. Sir W. SOMERVILLE then came forward, and was loudly cheered. I thank you for the opportunity which your kindness has afforded me of adding my voice to yours, in condemning language which conveyed an insult to private feeling, an insult to the Crown, and an insult to millions of her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects.— (Loud cheers.) Of the individual who could indulge in a heartless joke when speaking of the infirmities with which it has pleased Providence to afflict a political opponent, I shall say no more. Men of all parties, no matter what their difference on religious topics might be, as members of a Christian community, must join in condemning such language. I came to this town to enjoy a little ease and retirement, after a most fatiguin g Session of Parliament. Great was my surprise at having my at tention aroused by language in this city exceeding in violence anything within my experience. I did not believe it possible that any individual could be found, a subject of the British Crown, to deliver sentiments with regard to the Sovereign such as those which have been promulgated. The recklessness of it was beyond anything that had ever come under my notice.— (Cheers.) Listen, gentlemen, to some of this language. In one sentence the Prime Minister is said to be " the boon companion of the Sovereign." The " boon com panion !"—what think you of such a pot-house imputa tion ?—i,Cheers.) Such language I never heard uttered respecting a Sovereign. Again, the Minister is said to govern by yielding to " the follies and caprices of the Queen." What are "the follies and caprices" of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria ? Why, the manner in which she has discharged the duties of her lofty sta tion since she ascended the throne has drawn on her the wonder and admiration of the world.—(Cheers.) I hear her Majesty is told that she is " the Queen of a faction only." And why? Because the Protestant religion is endangered by the elevation of three Roman Catholics to subordinate situations under the Crown ! —(Laughter and cheers.) Why, what a very slippery foundation must the Protestant religion stand upon.— (Laughter and cheers again.) What must we think of that religion which its Divine Master founded on a rock if it is to be upset because three Roman Catholics have been called to the service of their Sovereign ? ( Hear. hear.) I for one rejoice that they have been so called. I say the Roman Catholics of Ireland have not, and never had a fair share of the patronage of the empire.—(Hear, hear.) The time has arrived, I hope, when all moderate, good, and wise men of all parties have b ecome convinced of the necessity of pursuing a different line of policy towards Ireland.—(Cheers.) They have found persecution and cruelties to be of no avail. They are proved useless as a means of conversion. It is preposterous to expect grafi- tilde from those who are treated with cruelty, baseness, and I may now say with perfidy ; because if the prin ciples ,contained, in the speeches lately delivered are to be embodied by the Tory party on their accession to office, it is clear that Catholic emancipation was but a tub to the whale—a toy to amuse the unfortunate Papists, whom it was intended to exclude from all fruits of that measure by an eternal disqualification for enter ing upon any of the duties of the State.—(Cheers.) lam not indifferent to the charge bronght against the Government of not going far enough ; but I am not ignorant of the difficulties with which they have to con tend. And when I reflect that the present Government is all that stands between us and the reign of those who, in power, would carry into force the principles contained in those speeches, I confess a shudder of horror creeps over me at the thought—(Cheers) —and I look back with satisl'action and delight at every opportunity afforded me of maintaining the present Ministers in power. The Hon. Baronet resumed his seat amid several rounds of applause.) Mr. WEIR, in moving the fourth resolution, said, it was too bad to remark the clergymen of Canterbury, who talked of the superstition of Irishmen, when those entrusted to their care for instruction—those who might be called their pupils—were the only individuals in the three kingdoms who could be found the followers of a Sir William Courtenay.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He concluded by moving the following resolution : " That the inhuman and mocking allusion to the serious malady of a political opponent, on the part of Dr. Rus sell, can excite nothing but unmitigated disgust among Christians and right feeling men of all parties, and that such coarseness stands out in rude contrast with the divine precepts of our Heavenly Master." Air. BROWNE, in seconding the resolution, said he had thought before he came to that meeting that it was a very strange thing that they should be there met to celebrate Guy Fawkes.—(Laughter.) And who was their Guy Fawkes? Why, he had come all the way from Berwick, and had arrived in that city.—(Laughter.) Ho could tell them what the Gazette of that morning said of their Guy—that he " had kindled a flame, which never would be extinguished until it spread to every part of the coun try."—( Laughter.) " Jemmy Bradshaw," as he was commonly called, or " James Bradshaw, Esquire"— ( Laughter)—was the Guy Fawkes ; he was the man who carried " the holy fire," and the dark lanthorn in which he placed it was their Kentish Gazette—(Laughter)— and thus were the Queen and their liberties to be blown up. What a fine " - Canterbury tale" that was.— (Laughter.) The fourth Resolution then passed unanimously. Mr. BRENT proposed the following address : " We, the Mayor, Burgesses, snd inhabitants of the city of Canterbury, highly disapproving of the intolerant and disloyal language which has recently been addressed to an assembly of persons in this city, calling themselves Conservatives, and which found a ready echo among the persons addressed, approach your Majesty with the dutiful assurance that our attachment to your Royal person is undiminished, and our confidence in your Majesty's wisdom is strengthened by witnessing, in your Majesty'S acts, that the welfare and happiness of your people is your Majesty's highest delight. " We see with deep regret that clergymen of the Established Church should, by their presence and ac- quiescence in the sentiments expressed on the above occasion, give countenance to such a miserable display of the ravings of a disappointed faction—a display con temptible, although rancorous ; impotent, but intended to diminish the respect due to your Majesty, or to drive your Majesty into such a course of Government as would promote the benefit alone of a section, and not the good of the whole community. " That when such a term as alien in blood, language, and religion, is deliberately applied to a large portion of your Majesty's Irish subjects, and made use of in an as sembly supposed to possess some influence in this coun try, meeting with no rebuke from any person present, we dread the consequences which may result from the use of such flagrant and libellous language towards a loyal portion of our fellow-citizens, its tendency being to in flame their minds with feelings of hostility, and to bring about a: crisis at which all good men would shudder. " We think it due to the credit of our ancient city humbly to address your Majesty, and to express our loyalty and our firm determination to support your Ma jesty in all acts of your Majesty's Government which tend to promote the prosperity, mental improvement, and consequent happiness of all your Majesty's sub jects." Mr. H OLLADAY secon ded the adoption of th e ad dress, whi c h was carr i e d unanimously. Alderman M ASTERS proposed, and Mr. B RENT, jun. seconded, that the presentation of the address should be entrusted to the Mayor. W. PLUDIMER, Esq., proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor. The Rev. Mr. JAMES said he believed that there were many gentlemen who entertained a strong feeling against persons of his persuasion taking part in a pub lic assembly. He was glad that such a feeling ex isted ; for it was one in which he himself warmly par ticipated ; and he regretted that circumstances at pre sent compelled him to depart from that rule. There had been some things spoken by members of the Church, of which he was a minister, which he only regretted had been merited ; while other things had been said which he knew were undeserved.—(Hear, hear.) He con cluded by seconding the vote of thanks to the Mayor. Sir WILLI AM S OMERVILLE, i n support of the mo tion, could not avoid remarking that Mr. Bradshaw had accused some of the Peers, that they never h a d any grandfathers. Such P eers , e thought, must be very great curiosities.—(Laughter.) Of the name of Brad shaw, it might be remarkal in reply, that it was not unknown to fame, for a Bradshaw had sat in judgment upon his Sovereign. Perhaps, then, the disposition to insult a Sovereign was hereditary in a Bradshaw. Thanks were then given to Lord Albert Conyngham for his attendance, and also to the Mayor. Lord Albert and the Mayor severally returned thanks, and the meeting separated amid loud cheers. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. MONEY MARE ET and CITY NEWS, TUESDAY EVENING. HERALD.—The non-arrival of any further advices from the United States, in consequence of the late adverse winds, still continues to cause great anxiety amongt the commercial interests and others, who, directly or indirectly, have property at stake in that portion of the American continent. It is true that a temporary calm prevails in our Money Market, so far as regards general credit, but discounts still are com paratively high, and will remain so until the arrival of further intelligence from New York, the nature of which will materially tend to govern future rates of interest ; but we have some reason to believe that the remarks which appeared under this head yesterday, have tended t o a ll ay muc h of the apprehension that prevailed during the early part of that day. The real state of our Discount Market may be fully estimated by the value of Exchequer Bills and India Bonds, which still continue at a very heavy discount. Exchequer Bills, at the mean rate being as low as 5 a 8 dis., and India Bonds at .5 dis. CHRONICLE.—Th e Morning Post has an ela borate article today on the conduct of the Bank of England. So far as we are alluded to, the question lies in a nutshell. We stated that much of the difficulty in which that establishment was placed originated in the dilatory policy of the Directors, and expressed an opin:on that.-they should have adopted in November, 1838, those measures for curtailing the circulation which they are only now pursuing, because at that period the drain of bullion had sec in stron g against them ; but instead of taking precautionary measures in consequence, they continued giving money freely. The Post, as the organ, we presume, of the Bank parlour, admits " that it would have been fortunate had the Bsnk taken earlier measures to arrest the drain of bul lion.- Much of the speculative business in corn and cotton, as well as in Foreign Stock and Shares, might have been thereby prevented." This is almost exactly a confession of cur charge, and there can be no doubt if the Bank had taken earlier measures to arrest the drain of bullion, that is, if they had taken those mea sures in November ' 1838, which th e y are now on l y pursuing, that much of the present derangement in the Money Market would have been avoided. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) , The rising of the Chartists of Newport, communi cated in a second edition of the Chronicle of ysterday, to the account of which we add further partieulars, seems a most inexplicable affair. We regret to find, however, that many lives have been lost ; and that, be sides Chartists, the Mayor and several special con stables, and one soldier have been wounded. That the rising will not be suffered to spread beyond the neigh bourhood may be confidently predicted. The notorious Mr. Frost is said to be the leader ; but what object he can have had in precipitating a number of poor ignorant creatures on their ruin is inconceivable. There can have been no concert between these Welshmen and the Chartists elsewhere, or we should by this time have heard of doings of the same kind in o•her parts of the kingdom, supposing it even possible that Englishmen can keep intentions of this kind secret. Frost, it seems, allowed his son, a boy of fourteen, to head one division of the rioters, while he headed another himself. It is clear if he be not insane, he is at all events a wretched guide ; for even on the supposition that Vincent could be liberated by force from prison, no man possessed of a grain of sense could think the Government would suffer matters to remain there ; so that, unless he could hope to resist the Go vernment, he sacrifices lives without an object. Thsre is something in the disposition of the Welsh to embrace Chartism in its worst features, and to rush on destruc tion, which deserves to be inquired into. We have heard that there has long been a wide-spread discontent among the poor people in Wales, on account of their supposed wrongs in having been driven from the wastes on Crown estates, on which they had built, by the lessees. (From the Morning Herald.) Wales, where rebellion never reared its head—where insurrection was unknown since the days of Henry IV. until the disastrous sway of the Whigs was inflicted upon England, has become the scene of revolutionary doctrines, violence, and bloodshed. The horrors of a Chartist " little war" have fallen upon a portion of the Queen's dominions, which had been unstained with the blood of civil slaughter since the days of Owen Glen dower. The deplorable carnage, by military executions, at Merthyr Tidvil, some years ago, arose out of a local quarrel between some iron masters and their men, and had uo connection with revolutionary designs. Though the bayonet and the rifle-ball under Whig auspices were employed, instead of protocols, to " settle" it, we thought at the time, and still think, it might have been settled by other means than those which produced such a dreadful loss of life. It was the mode of suppressing it which gave that disturbance the appearance of a po i t ical insurrectionary movement, which it certainly was not. But as to the violence and bloodshed at Newport, of which we gave an account by express in a second edition of our paper yesterday morning, it was unequivocally of political origin. The doctrines of Chartism have grown out of the atrocious system of po pular agitation which the Whigs have encouraged and cultivated for so many years, now and then shooting and flanging some of the wretched victims of their own vile arts, whenWhiggery wants to make a character for vin dicating those laws which it has taught " the masses" to treat with contempt. The incendiary fires of Bristol and Nottingham, and the bloodshed and hangings that followed, were the work of Whig excitement, produced by the furious appeals of Whig Journals to popular passions, and by the incendiary arts of the travel ing emissaries of sedition. It is dangerous, as Bacon says, to teach the multitude the way of insurrections, for when once taught they are apt to walk therein. When the Whigs got up the Reform excitement for the purpose of crushing their political opponents, acd establishing themselves in power, - they resorted to the most unjustifiable means to accomplish their object. They flattered and encou raged the political unions, which were organised in imi ratian of the French Jacobin clubs, and promulgated doctrines subversive of monarchy, of order, of constitu tional freedom. They advised the people not to pay taxes until they got the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. They assailed the House of Lords with such a shower of incendiary missiles that it was wonderful how it es- TIMES.—As usual when any new Bank measure is on foot, there are all sorts of rumours, and asser tions, and contradictions in circulation respecting it, which have the effect of mystifying the public for a time, but seldom end otherwise than in a confirmation in all the essential points of the original story. This is evidently the case with the " re-discounting" business, on which some small admissions were at first made, but these since yesterday have expanded and taken a much wider range. Operations of more than one kind are now distinctly adverted to. It is understood, for example, as a general rule, that any bill broker, who has effected dis counts at the Bank,and finds afterwards that he can obtain money in the open market at a rate lower than that charged there, may withdraw a portion of his bills, and receive an allowance of 6 per cent. for the remaining time they have to run. Then it is added that a similar ac commodation is to be extended to the business done at, and connected with, the branch banks in the coun try. This alone is opening a sufficiently wide field for "re-discounts," since it is obvious that it is quite imma terial whether the transactions are for the bill-brokers themselves or for their customers, and one broker is said to-day, in fact, to have sold Exchequer bills to a considerable amount in order to employ the money for this. purpose. A further concession made, which is of some importance, is, that parties thus allowed to re-dis count aro permitted to select such bills ns they please from the original set deposited by themselves for dis count, and with all these facilities for obtaining the best bills London can supply, subject to interest at 6 pet cent., no doubt can remain that the practice of " re discounting" is fully recognized, and the two objects of the Bank attained, of making the rate of money out of doors as high as their own, and of keeping up a constant pressure on the money-market. Besides this measure, some alterations are said to have been adopted in the arrangements with the country banks, who by waiving their right to issue notes ha ✓e acquired the privilege of loans from the Bank of England up to a fixed amount at the rate of three per cent., and this without any reference to the value of money at head-quarters. These advances are now to be extended to a further amount on payment of a rate of 6 per cent. It has been stated that an advance to 6 per cent. is to be required for all the loans to the country banks who issue bank of England paper, but it is doubted whether the Bank has the power of doing this under the terms of the original bargain, though it is very probable that where the power does exist the change will be introduced. By the advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 431 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.8, and the exchange at Hamburg on Lon don at short, being 13.6, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.35, and the exchange at Paris on London at short, being 25.30 ; it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. POST.---The explanations which we ventured to give in our last City article on various points con nected with banking affairs and the money market, have had the effect of dissipating much of the gloom that prevailed at the Stock Exchange yesterday. A decidedly better tone was observable in the house to-day. c .ped from being utterly consumed from the face of the earth. Tney conjured up tremendous imtlges of physical force, among which the spectacle of 1.50,000 hainmermen of Birmingham, ready to march upon London, and settle the affairs of the kingdom after the manner of Wet. Tyler's mob, was a favourite topic. The " masses" have not forgotten the lessons taught them by the Whigs. It is true that the hypo critical tempters of the people, as soon as they had ac complished the object of securing themselves in place, affected some horror of the seditious doctrines xlsiell they had taught to their many-headed dupe, the " sovereign people." They issued a proclamati on igainst the " politi ca l unions" which they had called into existence ; they hanged Bristol and Nottingham rioters, to appease, by bloody sacrifices, the laws which they had taught theßeform mobs to trample upon. They brought in a Coercion Bill to curb and punish Irish , agitation by proceedings so unconstitutional and tyran nical, that we, the enemies of agitation, considered it our duty to denounce and oppose it. The ordinary laws, properly administered, were sufficient for the purpose ; but the Whigs are ever found in the one extreme or the other—either stimulating the licentious violence of mobs, or making tyrannical thrusts at the constitutional liberties of the people. When the treaty of Lichfield House was ratified with the Popish dema gogue of Ireland, the Whigs wheeled about again, and, instead of coercing Irish agitation encouraged it once wore. What horrors, what outrages, what crimes, what systematic assassinations have followed in the train of that agitation, winding its track of blood and barbarism through Ireland! Ah ! the Normanby farce of " tranqt.:illit? will, indeed, appear as a blood-stained tragedy in the page of impartial history. And under Whig misrule the barbarism and crimes of Popish Ireland are reaching Protestant England. Char tism, a monstrous production of Whiggery, threatens the destruction of its profligate parent. Perhaps that is a loss at which the nation, that has learned by bitter experience the real value of Whiggery, would not much grieve ; but Chartism aims also at the uprooting of all property, the levelling of all orders, and the utter sub version of civil society. Certain conspicuous Whig- Radicals—such as Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Leader,• and some others—have been publicly charged with having assisted to draw up what is called " the People's Char ter." O'Connell has since denounced the Chartists as the Whigs denounced the Political Unions. But Chartist doctrines have taken root among the people. Chartist violence renewed in Birmingham last summer the dreadful scenes which Whig Reform agitation produced in Bristol and Nottingham—Chartist 'violence has stained thesoil of Wales with the blood of civil slaughter. Thus the hitherto most peaceful portion of the kingdom has been rendered by Wbig misrule as volcanic as Ireland, only the flames buret -out sooner : the Irish haters of the " Saxons," whether Whiteboys, Whitefeet, or Riband men, preferring the work of midnight assassination to open fighting in the light of day. By their wretched policy in pampering Papineau and Mackenzie, and pro. moting to places of trust and profit their insolent tools, the Whigs succeeded in adding to the embarassments of the empire two successive rebellions in Canada. We think it required still more ingenuity to induce insurrec tionary movements in Wales. But the thing has been accomplished. The Welch hills have suddenly poured down a tumultuous torrent of desperate men, who, unlike the Irish barbarians, rushed upon the musket balls and bayonets of the military. Thanks to Whig foresight, there were very few of the military in Newport, in which the first attack was made, to oppose them. But discipline and an advantageous position enabled a handful of soldiers to repulse the frantic courage of tumultuary thousands. It is lament able to think of the blood that has been shed by British subjects butchering British subjects, while our fribble Ministers are acting the part of court danglers— dancing attendance upon bedchamber women and maids of honour, and using every low art to keep up their influence in the palace, while the interests of the empire are falling into ruin, " Nero fiddled while Rome was burning," and Melbourne— the antiquated beau and veteran Sybarite—plays the pait of a Lord in waiting and " carpet kuight," at. Windsor Castle, while the Queen's subjects are butchering each other in civil conflict. But the day of retribution is coming —the day which the last regis trations have foreshadowed, when the palace volup tuary will be roused from his " bed of roses" by the voice of' public indignation shouting in his car the sen tence of ignominious and irrevocable doom ; nor will his tutelary bedchamber-women, or Popish Privy Coun cillors, be able to save him. What a fate for the Queen's favourite jester, when he shall be thrust out from the Royal dinner-table, and " thrown upon the resources" of his own kitchen and larder! We have been guilty of a bathos, but how can we help it in speaking of the chief of what the evening organ of the Whigs calls the " lucky administration," whose eleva tion in the State 'seems a burlesque upon ambition. " Lucky" is Melbourne in keeping his place and pay so long, without political ability, attention to business, or personal respectability. " Lucky," we say, is su c h a heartless fribble in keeping place and pay so long ; but still more "lucky" was his friend Mont eagle, in taking roostingtim flight from hi s d w i n dli ng ex chequer, and on the perch of th e N ewport ely sinecure. It was only the other day that the "lu c k y " Sir John Campbell, while discussing the tnerits of Whig policy and a Scotch breakfast, boasted that the Chartists had been put down without any bloodshed, and without a Peterloo. This was not a very "lucky" hit of p l a i n John," who, though one of our most acute lawyers and able advocates, showed that he had not that gift of " second sight" which belongs to some of his countrymen. Let the streets of Newport, drenched with the blood of infatuated I3ritish subjects, answer the premature boast of Sir John Campbell. Our readers will see that the accounts of the Welsh in surrection which we hare received since yesterday, make the affair to be of a much more formidable chi:. Teeter than it at first appeared. Our correspondent, who stated the number of insurgents at 8,000 in the SUN.—The Foreign Exchanges were again heavy this afternoon, notwithstaning the continuance of operations by the influential firm of Messrs. Barings for the Di rectors of the Bank of England. It was stated on 'Change this afternoon that the credit of 2,000,0001. opened with the capitalists of Paris by Mr. T. A. Cur tis, on his late visit to that capital, has been drawn out, and without, as was expected, any improvement being effected in the condition of the exchanges. It is, how ever, more than probable, that arrangements have been made for extending—should the Directors think it ne cessary to extend—still further the operations. At the latest business hours this afternoon the Exchanges were thus quo:ed—Paris 25f. 60c. to 25f. 62ic. ; Hamburg, 13 9i ; Frankfort, 1501 ; Amsterdam, 12 ; An twerp, 12 3. • - The version we gave of the recent transactions at the Bank--erroneously stated by some of our Contemporaries to be a borrowing of money by the Bank—pros es per fectly correct. The Dutch mail came in late this afternoon, with higher prices both of the regular Debt, and of the stock of the Netherlands Trading Company. The former had advanced to 513-, and the latter from 160 to 166 k. It is said that most of the new loan of 56 millions of guilders will be appropriated to pay off the debt raised about three years since, upon the security of the East Indian revenues. The Commercial Markets arc looking more buoyant. Wrist India produce is on the rise. Teas at the public sales went off with much spirit to-day at a further rise of -.ld. per lb. ; of about 31,000 packages which have passed the sales, from 12,000 to 12,500 have been sold. The state of the Foreign Exchanges caused Consols to close heavily this afternoon ; however, but little busi ness was done ; as the juvenile members of themarket, and many of the seniors too, enjoyed the sports consequent upon Guy Fawkes's Day, in witnessing a display of fire works in the market. Consols were at four o'clock at for the Account, and 904 4 for Money ; Exche quer Bills remain at 6 8 discount ; India Stock, after touching 250, fell to 2444 ; and Bank Stock to 180. The news of the rise in Dutch Stock at Amsterdam came in too late to have any effect on the prices here. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents closed at 5144, and the Five per Cents at 981 ; Spanish Stock closed at 274; Portuguese Five per Cents at 314 ; but Belgian fell to 1004. The market for Foreign Stock looked rather bettor this afternoon than it did in the morning. London and Birmingham Railway Shares have ad vanced to 51 premium, but all the others are heavy. Great Western at .5 discount ; North Midland at 41 discount ; Brighton at 13a discount ; and Birmingham and Gloucester at 274 discount. HARWICH.—The gales during the present week have been very strong, and we fear much damage has been done on this coast. A coal ship was seen from here to go down near Landguard Fort. The crew were saved. On Monday night a large vessel is sup posed to have been wrecked ; and on Tuesday a large Hull s team-packet, with many passengers, got into this harbour. THE DIVERS AT H OLYHEAD.—During two days last week Mr. Dean, of the cutter Lalla Rookb, with the divers under his command, was successful in recovering ten great guns and other articles in seven fathoms water, a few miles to the south-east of the South Stack Lighthouse. The property had been lost from the Young William, Guineaman, wrecked on her p a ssage to Liverpool in the year 1804. VERY PACIFIC.—W e have been told that a house in this town has received an order from the Pacha of Egypt for 200 tons of bullets to be sent out imme.- diately.—Glasgow Courier. _ Sir Edward Codringron's new Flag-Captain has not yet been appointed.

EVENING EDITION. ifirst instance, has since learned that they amounted to between 40,000 and 50,000 men ; some accounts placing them higher ; but we should suppose that popular ter ror exaggerated the numbers of those " iron men," who descended from the mines and levels of the mountains upon the town of Newport. If that number of insur gents really took the field, only a portion of theta, we presume, attacked the town of Newport. At the time we write this, no account has been received of the -re sult of the meditated attacks on Monmouth and Brecon, or whether they bad been made at all. Is this the beginning of the servile war which was predicted as the inevitable consequence of the Whig oppression of the labouring classes ? But whether the insurrection be suppressed for the present, or whether it has extended further, one thing is certain—that much blood has been shed, which a little forethought and precaution on the part of the Ministers might have prevented. How will they answer for this to Parliament and the country. (From the Morning Post.) The news which we published yesterday in a second edition, of the battle between the Chartists and the military in South Wales, forms a very melancholy commentary upon the absurd boating of the Attorney- General in the late display of Ministerialism at Edin burgh. The boast that Chartism has been subdued is echoed by the volleys of the military, inflicting a de served death upon insurgent Chartists. In our opinion, neither Chartism, nor any other great political nuisance, can be dealt with as it ought to be by the present Go vernment. A Government which is at once feeble, false, and fearful, may by singular good fortune escape from difficulties which have appeared to threaten it, I but it cannot overcome them. Every act of the present Ministers against the Chartists is an ex p os t fact o con• demnation of themselves, for they first warmed into life the insurgent spirit which they now desire to put dorm by force. The insurgents must indeed be put down, but it is unfortunate that the Government cannot do so without the commission of gross inconsistency. (FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Globe.) Various pyrotechnical artifices, we are told by the Tory organs, have been preparing, in various places, " for celebrating the Gunpowder Plot in the good old-fashioned style." "At St. Albans," says the Times, " a very liberal sum has been subscribed to defray the expenses of bonfires and fireworks ; the walls are placarded with bills headed No Popery,' announcing the same. Public attention seems to be everywhere roused to the fearful encouragement given to Popery in high places." We are sorry we did not before advert to these preparations, as we should have thought it our duty to address some sort of encyclical letter to the little boys on whom is devolved, at this awful crisis, the defence of Protestantism. Little boys are apt to fill their pockets too full of squibs and crackers ; and we tremble to think what effects may proceed from Ultra- Protestant liberality, in supplying them with extra stores of such ammunition. Heaven only knows how tnar,y Guy Fawkes' plots may explode in detail, if Popish ma lignity lies in wait, with traditional touch-paper, wherever the protuberant pockets of juvenile Pro testantism shall stimulate a renewed indulgence of " the blowing up" habits of Popery. W e are also exceedingly apprehensive, in populous neighbourhoods, of the consequences of the proposed kiting of fireworks in churches. Messrs. Croly, Stowell, and the other metropolitan and provincial artists in this line, in the employment of the Protestant Associa tion, should take warning from the late fatal con flagration in Pimlico. We are not, indeed, afraid they will s, t the Thames on fire ; nor even that their harangues will expose this Protestant city to a second sacking and burning, as in the purer days of Lord George Gordon. But there is much old timber in our ancient churches ; and much material for spontaneous combustion in a portion of their congregations, without these artificial appliances. We have been told that the officers of artillery and engineers, wh o w ith t h e i r own hands carried the powd r bags to blow up the gates of Ghizni, in the late triumphant and me morable campaign in Affghanistan, m arc h e d up to t h ose gates with the bags of powder amidst a tremendous fire, smoking their hookahs as calmly as if they had been sitting in their tents. These Guy Fawkes gentry parade their powder bags with greater solemnity, with less science, and, we venture to prophesy, with no such success. (From the Courier.) Our readers, we trust, will do us the justice to allow, that we have not neglected any opportunity of adding our humble endeavours to the upholding of the Protestant Established Church. We have not been lukewarm in exposing the danger perhaps —at least the embarrass.. ment—to which the National Church is exposed by the ind'screet encouragement given by the Government to the Roman Catholic Church and the discouragement which has been dealt on Protestantism. Of these cir cumstances we are fully aware, and we are impressed also with the conviction that it is incumbent on every Protestant in the empire to be watchful of the insidious encroachments of the Church of Rome. But we venture humbly to express our opinion, that the Roman Catholics having been admitted by the solemn act of the Legislature to an equality of civil rights and privileges, it is neither politic nor kindly to continue popular practices which can serve only to shock and exasperate ; and which can serve neither to conciliate the Roman Catholic inhabitants of these realms, in their social rela tions, nor favourably impress them with the niild nCss and the toleration which it is the boast of the Established Church to exhibit towards all creeds. It is a matter to be deeply lamented, that there are some millions within the limits of Great Britain, who are not yet convinced of the superiority of the Protestant Reformed Faith ; but it is not by the coarse and exag gerated exhibitions which we this day deprecate, that these millions are to be conciliated ; nor do we think it becoming the mild dignity of the Established Church, for it's membei s to encourage popular insults on those whom it is their true policy on all occasions to treat with mildness and forbearance. (From the Standard.) It matters nothing what the immediate objects Newport Charti s t s ma y b e : their crimp does not lie in the object s th e y t pursue. Be of the .tiose objects good or bad, just or unjust, the gu i !; means forbidden by l aw ie of pur s ui ng th em b y just the same. And who have been their prnmpters and their models in this course of crimz,`? The men who first taught that laws are to On trampled on---the men who counte nanced political unions—who corresponded with them-- who called for " threats of physical force" from them, en couraged the menace of a rebel army to march upon Lon don to frighten the House of Lords into adesertion of its duties ; all the time inflaming the evil propensities of the populace by " enormous lying," and by every other art by which a credulous people can be goaded to mad ness ; and who in Ireland promoted still more directly resistance to the law, by lavishing the patronage of the Crown upon the worst enemies of peace and order, and in compliment to these public enemies winked hard at an exterminating and treasonable conspiracy. These are men morally and politically, if not legally, responsible for every drop of blood shed at Newport, and wherever else the application of their lessons and the imitation of their practice has caused blood to flow. The interme diate teachers of such crimes, and the agents in them, deserve punishment. But oh, how much more do they merit it who originated the sedition ? They, without the plea of ignorance or of suffering, without any other motive than the sordid lust place and its emoluments, first let loose th e plague, and justice claims them as he: fi rst victims. Th e y, to o b ta i n o ffi ce, raised thP commons against the law ; and every cr ime 'committed by the comm ons , or any part of t he commons, since, is their crime. As we have said, ' see i mmediate object of insurre c ti on i n suc h a case ri .oes not weigh a f ea th er in aggra va t ing or palliating :: ts guilt ; but if it did, can any one deny, th at the 'objects of th e p resen t or more recent outbreak s o f sedition are at least as justifiable as those first t oild, out? How long will the people of Englaro, perm i t to remain , not merely unpunished, b ut trit - auphant in thei r success , th ose w h o h a ve d rawn such calamities upon their country ? advert point s , t not a c THE BLESS INGS present to those immortal beyond the confines of this world.

Instead of a blessing, it would prove a curse. The crime of suicide, would, in fact, become so prevalent, that the earth would soon be depopulated. Its rational inhabitants would ere long disappear from o ff its face, and the brute creation would claim it as their sole heritage. The most forlorn and miserable of the human race feel their wretchedness much alleviated in the hope that they will yet see better days. A large, if not the larger proportion of human happiness, is de rived from this conviction. At certain periods of our life, our hopes are more ordinarily sanguine. We feel , as it were, that we have entered on a new and brighter era of our existence ; and reason ourselves into the persuasion—oftimes a very delusive one—that days and weeks and months of almost unmingled and uninter rupted felicity are before us. And, strange as it may seem, we tenaciously cling to this anticipation of a happy future, notwithstanding the innumerable o disap point ments our former hopes have encountered, until we feel ourse l ves enc l ose d i n the rude and repulsivevrld arms of death.—Walks and Wanderings in the i_ of Literature, by the Author of et The Great M r •
