AMERICA.

The Acadia arrived at Liverpool last night,having
left New York on the 21st ult.; she was dttaired off
Halifax for ten hours in a fog. She brings 26,0001.

in specie.
The steam-ship Britannia' with the English mails
of the 10th of-June, arrived at Halifax on the 23rd,
in twelve and a half days from Liverpool.
On the night of the 20th a large meeting took
place at the Tabernacle in New York, for the purpose
of expressing sympathy with John Mitchel, the news
of whose sentence had been brought by the steam-ship
America. The gathering appears to have been a large
one and noisy affair. Mr. Greely, the editor of the
Neu' York Tribune, was in the chair ; numerous
speeches were delivered, and appropriate resolu-
tione carried unanimously. One of the resolutions
was to the effect that the meeting pledge them-
selves that until Mitchel be a, t at liberty they should
refrain from buying or consuming any article of
British manufacture.
Another demonstration was announced to come off
shortly.
The rate of exchange has given way in New York,
the outside quotation being 1101, and in consequence
the inquiry for specie has subsided.
The accounts respecting the coming crop of cotton
continued uniformly favourable. The receipts at
all the cotton ports of the present crop were still
heavy, and the final total, it was thought, would ex-
ceed 2,300,000 bales. The accounts made up for the
Acadia make the receipts to that period 2,171,000 bales.
The market price of cotton, however, remained un-
changed, with a dull inquiry. Indian corn stood at
Sic. for good quality.
Flour, 5 dole. 50 cents. to 5 dole. 75 cents. The
rates of freight to Liverpool were 5-32 d. per lb. for
square bales; Is. 6d. to le. Oil. for flour per bbL ;
grain, 6d. to 60. per bushel. To London, 2s. (3d. per
bbl. for flour.

Mr. KTDD moved, and Mr. LEACR seconded, a vote of r
thanks to Capt. O'Bryan for his manly explanation.
Mr. ADAMS objected to the vote until he heard of what
the statement eulogised consisted. fie (Mr. Adams), though
sitting close to the gallant captain, had not heard a single
word which bad escaped his lips. (Laughter and hiss...)
Dr. M'Douatt. Mime to the rescue, and on his recapitula-
tion of the points of Capt. O'Bryan's speech which had been
lost en the auditory, the vote of thanks to the retiring dele-
gates was unanimously agrerd to.
A long discussion then ensued on the question raised of se-
curing the publication all full and noomme report of the pro-
ceedings of the assemble. Much contrariety of opinion was
expressed as to the manner in which the transactions of the
late convention had been recorded, and it was strenuously
asserted that the organ of the chartists—their own journal,
the Northern Star--had failed to discharge its duty. A
commi tee was in the end appointed to inquire and report to
the assembly as to the best means by which tho discussions
of the delegates should bo conveyed to the public.
The next question raised was as to the validity of the elec-
tion of Mr. Cnarles Macarthy, and after a somewhat acri-
monious disputation it was resolved by a majority of 12 to 9,
that as du' notification had not been given, bin election was
null SISA void.
Some farther formal business was then disposed of, and the
assembly adjourned at fire o'clock until nine o'clock to-mor-
row (this day).

in close attendance during the whole of the day.

was quite satisfied that the spaniel which the prisoner had in
his possession was the property of Mrs. Rowe, with whom he
had often seen it —Policeman Hall stated that on Saturday
night last he captured the prisoner at Manning's beer-shop
in Bell-street, and found in his possession a looped cord,

would be attained by more equally dividing the electoral

EDINBURGH, MAY 4.
A meeting was held last night, for the purpose of
forming the promised " National Guard," but, as
might have been expected, it was a very broken-
winded affair. The leaders of the host frankly
admitted that, from the scarcity of volunteers, they
could only form " Skeleton Sections," and then
followed some bathos about vitality to the Barebones
Invincibles. After some heavy oratory, a hint was
given for the dissolution of the meeting—present or
prospective members of the guard to remain behind,
which was the signal for universal retreat.

PRESIDENT

OF TIIE
• FtOVISIONAL GOVERNMENT,

PARIS, THURAD tY, 6 r.v.
Yesterday, at eight o'clock in the evening, about
) men stationed themselves at the outer door of the
hall to secure places and sell their tickets of admission
for to-day. A strong detachment of national guards
and troops of the line guarded the old Clamber and
the new Hall.

This morning, at half-past ten, the legion of the
national guard, the battalions of the guard mobile,
and the Republican guard took up the positions
assigned to nein.
The Palais Bourbon and its approaches were
warded by a military force, who were strictly en-
joined not to allow any one to enter without a ticket
of a member or journalist.
The troops formed two lines between the Palais
and the Place Vendome, extending front the Palais to
the Ministry of Justice, by the bridge, the Place de
la Concorde, the Rae Royale, and the Boulevards to
the Rue de la Paix.
At twelve o'clock the members arrived in little
groups, and were saluted by cries of " Vive
la Republique," and the cry, not less unanimous of
" Viva de Lamartine."
The celebrated poet Belanger was saluted by the
liveliest acclamations by the national guard and the
crowd.

It was very remarkable that the crowd, which was
eomposed almost wholly of the lower close, took off
their hats to every one who bore a diplomatic, civil,
or other uniform, the more so as they did not offer,
daring the time of the monarchy, the same mark of
respect to the uniforms or costumes of the grand dig-
nitaries of the state.
At half•past twelve the Provisional Gorernment
left the Hotel of the Ministry of Justice, and pro-
ceeded along the route indicated by the programme,
aseendisg the Rue de la Pair, proceeding along
the Boulevards, and the Rue Royale to the Chamber.
The cortive took place in exact accordance with the

IRELAND.

MEETING OF THE IRISH
CONFEDERATION.

DUBLIN, WEDNEiIIAIt NIGHT,
This association held its first meeting, since the
passing of the " Act for the Better Security of the Crown,"
Sce.. this evening, in the Music-hall, which was crowded to
excess. From the extreme violence of the diff-rent speeches
delivered it could scarcely be supposed that each an- enact-
ment as that alladed to was to be iound in the statute book.
The accessions to the Confederation were both numerous
and respectable.
Mr. Hodges, the government reporter, and two police in-
spectors were present.
The choir was taken by WILLIAM H. O'NEILL, Esq.,
barrister, who said that they were there that night to tell
the English oligarchy that the Irish were determined to have
a parliament of their own—(cheep)—that they should never
cease in their exertions till Irishmen obtained the power of
taxing themselves, and until Irishmen could fill very poet
of trust, honour, and emolument in this country, and until
they succeeded in forming a national guard. (Loud cheers).
The chairman, in concluding his observations, denied that
the confederates were the advocates of anarchy, or that they
meditated en inroad on the rights of property or social order.
Mr. J. B. Dur..ox (banister), after • few preliminary ob-
servations. having reference to the recent affair at Limerick,
observed that one consequence had resulted from it, and that
was the resignation of Mr. Mitchell as a member of the Irish
Confederation. He (Mr. Dillon) was not at liberty to go
into the reasons which induced Mr. Mitchel to adopt that
course, but an explanation would be given to the public be-
fore the expiration of the week. Since last he (Mr. Dillon)
had had the honour of appearing before the Confederation,
an ;act of parliament had been passed, having for its
object the "oppression of the opinions of the people at Ire-
land
on subjects materially affecting their interests. For
his part, he should say that act should have no effect
on him. Whatever he said before its passing, he was pre-
pared to repeat. (Hear, hear.) Before that act passed, he
asked the people to arm—(Cheer')—he asked them to are
now. (Laud cheers.) Tho union should perish, or the
peeple of Ireland should perish. (Loud cheers.) The peo-
ple of Ireland were determined to assert their rights, pease-
ably if they could ; but if, by any unconstitutional measures
on the part of the British government, they should be driven
to defend their rights by arms in the field, he (Mr. Dillon)
would say—he would say it openly—he would say it adl-
visedly—tbat the place of every true man would be in the
midst of the people. (Loud cheers.)

WORSHIP-STREET. Tan lifunDnu Ile SrrrAL-
FIELDS.— T. Evans, miss 0. Hart, who was charged on his
own confession witk having been accessary to the murder of
the child Henry Lanni, woo finally examined.—The only
additional witness now examined was Mr. Charles Bet tett,
a reamer printer in the Einem:id-road, who stated that the
prisoner had been in his service at different intervals during
the lent 16 years, and always conducted himself with perfect
propriety and decorum, without having exhibited the slightest
peculiarity in his manner or habits.—Sergeant Sanders inti-
mated that he had no further evidence to offer in support of
the charge, end, although be had been engaged in unre-
mitting effors to discover the titan whom the prisoner had
denounced, under the designation of Henry Jervis, as the
actual murderer, he had been unable to obtain any informa-
tion respecting him, and felt satisfied that there wee
no such person in existence. —William Evans, the
brother of the prisoner, assured the magistrate that,
in constquence of his inability to procure employ
ment, the accused had been labouring for a consider-
able time under great despondency, to which he attributed
the singular monomania that had actuated him to come
forward as a self-accuser in such a horrid crime. He was
firmly convinced of the prisoner's entire innocence; and if
the magistrate would consent to discharge him, every means
would be adopted by his friends to prevent the recurrence of
such improper conduct.—Mr. Arnold addressed a forcible
admonition to the prisoner upon the gross impropriety of his
behaviour, which had not only placed himself in a painful
and ignominious position, and entailed the greatest trouble
and affliction upon his family and connexions, but had been
productive of the more serious evil of putting the police
upon a false scent, which had in all probability been the
means of frustrating the ends of justice, and enabling the
real murderer of the child to escape detection. He trusted
the prisoner would reflect seriously upon the enormous folly
and wickedness of his conduct, and with that hope, as there
was no evidence whatever to implicate him in the offence, be
should new order his liberation.—The prisoner was then dia.

having been discharged, no new indictment either in

What moms then remains to prevent Mr. Deify'. re-
lease on bail, unless, indeed, the powers of the Habeas,
Corpus Suspension Act be invoked against him, and
he shall be continued in prison under a warraat of the
Privy Council?
The question of the demurrer wee argued
day by the Attorney-General; and Mr. John 0'
with Mr. Napier, Q.C., supported the plea.q.
Serjeant O'Brien replied upon the part of the crown.
At the conclusion of the argument the court intimated
that the question to be decided was too grave, and the
authorities quoted on both sides were of such num-
bers and importance, that they could not be considered
and judgment upon them prepared to-morrow. The
court, therefore, will not give judgment to-day, or
probably to-morrow. It is likely that the judgment
will not be delivered until Saturday.'.
After their lordships had declared their resolve to
ponder on the question, Mr. Justice Perrin adverted
to the order prohibiting publication of the proceedings.
His lordship said that some very foolish stricture'
upon the order promulgated by the court had beta
brought under his notice. He advised these parties to
What the court had directed was within it'
jerh,dietLn, and it was determined that its legal obli-
gation should ;,;. enforced. He cautioned those parties
how they disobeyed the order.
Baron Richards expressed his concurrence in the
determination of his learned brother, and in the pro-
priety of the order, aid .eferred to precedents,
amongst others those afforded by Lord Ellenborough
end Mr. Justice Holroyd. Mr. Daffy then addressed
the court, and said that he would show that the pro.
hibition of publication was the cause of substantial in-
justice towards him. Mr. Justice Perrin said the
order was made as well for the protection of the pri-
soner as the crown, and it would equally protect both.
If, however, the prisoner had anything to urge against
the order, let him instruct his counsel to pot it for-
ward, and the court would give it due weight, other-
wise they could not hear anything against the order.

FLOATING OF THE RAILWAY TUBE OVER

THE RIVER CONWAY.

. _
CONWAY, March 6.
The grand problem, whether the tube would go up
or not, ham this day been solved, in a manner which must be
deemed bigh.y satisfactory to the eminent men connected
with the undertaking, as well as the public at large, who
watched its progress with intense anxiety. The monster
leviathan Boated and was towed to its allotted chambers in
the piers, and is now in juxtaposition with the suspension.
bridge. It has yet to attain a higher elevation, which will
be accomplished by hydraulic power. Mr. Stephenson, Mr.
Ross, and Capt. Claxton were en the tube, guiding the pro-
ceedings. The success of the operation was greeted with
hearty cheers from a vast number of spectators.

RIOTS AT GLASGOW.

We learn by accounts from Glasgow, up to half-
past six o'clock last evening, received by electric
telegraph, that a Chartist mob had been creating se-
rious disturbances in that city. They had broken
into many gun-shops, and many of them thus
beeame provided with arms, which they flour-
ished like madmen, shouting " Down with the
Queen." Two policemen are reported to have been
shot, and many to hive been senously wounded, but
there is doubtless much exaggeration. When the last
accounts left there appeared to be a momentary lull
among the rioters, but from the number of guns
which are said to have been taken, it was feared
there would be flesh outbreaks, and the night
was looked to with apprehension. The military, how-
ever, were judiciously posted in various parts
of the city. Every gun shop is reported to have
been ransacked, and many tradesmen's shops to
have been broken into, those especially of jewellers.
At eleven o'clock last last night intelligence was re-
ceived in Edinburgh that the Glasgow mob was in-
creasing in numbers and audacity, and were palling up
the rails on the Paisley ►nd Airdrie lines. One hun-
dred and fifty Dragoons immediately proceeded to
the railway-station to proceed to Glasgow, and 600
lof the 71st Foot were immediately to fellow them.

COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

two d amis.—WS have a met of revolution in I
stocks this morning. Consols opened at 881 to 1, or
► below the last quotations of yesterday, with a mar-
ket by no means poetising of improvement. Sellers
were not wanting to mad themselves of the heavier
appearance of the fends, but might not, perhaps, have
produced much effect had not the Bank broker come
in aid of their operations by some considerable sales,
as reported, at Itirse.asil-a-Quarter per Cents. Upon

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM.

---
MR. Baisco AND THE ELECTORS OP HASTINGS.—
We have received a letter from Mr. Brian, denying cur
assertion made an the 12th instant, in the article on "Oar
Representative System—Hastings," that " in 1844 it was
conveyed to some of Mr. Planta's constituents that that `en-
Unman would resign if ea arrangement could be made about
the seat," that a negotiation was opened with Mr. Brim°,
who, " it was understood, would take up all Mr. Planta'.
liabilities—eay 1,60 W." Nr. Brim says: " No arrangement
was ever hinted at tome, eonasqueotly no negotiation took
ease, no serawoe demisted by, or on the behalf of the late
Mr. Pleats, and I sever paid one farthing to that gentleman
directly or indirectly fee eierniomering or other purposes."
Mr. Briem continues The article boldly asserts that 24
individuals were bribed at the late election, and that I
owe my meows to this ; it, however, grudginely acquits me
of having participated in the act,: ' principle, very
possibly, end also probably upon the idea that I could win
without the remark is insusi, at it ewes lay name in im-
mediate contrast with that of a gentles's, cue of my oppo-
nent', who is Mated not to have bribed ' &Madly on prin-
ciple.' I deny, vies, that I bribed, or isms& to be bribed,
any rotor at the last or say preceding elastics ; and further,
I never paid any mosey for bribery rime by °then (if any
took plain), and I ant not cognisant that say did. Your
informant would have done mere envies by publishing the
names of the twenty-eight delinquents, who seem to be
known to bins, then by wantonly hazarding acieuatiom
against gentleman on affairs that he can know bat little or
nothing about." In conclusion, Mr. Beam states that the
publication of his denial will not middy him, and that he re-
quires the name and earlier of the author of the articles.
[We use no steam to give eke name of cut informant,
became in reality Mr. Brisoo's statement in no degree mili-
tates against what km been put on record. It wee under-
stood in Rulings that Mr. Bruce would take up certain lia-
bilities of the tory party ; and we now eve him the fall

wr It wee distinctly e. led that he did sot beam

who were bribed. Once foe all, the, is no desire to maw
Mr. Brims or anybody else ; but a deermination to upset
generally not the corruption of this sr that town, but of
almost all towns--a corruption which, though it cannot or
need not be traced boas to individuals, b Mill as g=fors

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The above mart out yesterday pursuant to adjournment,
and the proceedings were opened by the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir J. nrie, Hunter,
&e., the Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs, with the usual formali-
ties. Although barely • fortnight has elapsed aloes the
termination of the last sestion, there are no less than 138
prieonen fir trial en the peasant ocession.
Hones " W. Motratt, a hoeso-dealer wee
indicted for having unlawfially conspired with two other
persons. named Ward and Bopp, to defraud James Seidel of
861.—The particulars of this case have been recently given
in the police report., and the chap arose out of a proofed
lag which is generally described as " horse chanting."—
After a lengthened investigation, the jury returned a verdict
of Grilfy.—The defendant was then called up for judgment,
and his lordship observed that treads of this description were
very prevalent, sad they must be repressed by the law. The
conduct of the defendant, and the other persons who evi-
dently acted in concert with him, was nothing loos than
conspiracy to rob. They inserted an lovertisement
in • newspaper, of a character calculated to attract attention,
and when anyone came to their stable in consequence to see
the saunas referred to, they were reedy with a plausible
tale ealealated to throw a person off his guard, and to induce
him is pest with kla mosey fee an alniont worthless article.
M mount he Mould not go to the ban 'aunt of this law by
passing a eratetses of transportation, bat it the paisialusent be
wm about to inflict was net found to have the effect of
checking the offintoe, parties conoerned ia thew proceedings
might rely that the law weld be carried out to its full se-
verity until that result Ins obtained. The defendant was
thou sentenced to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour foe
080 year.
