THE LATE CHARTIST DISTURBANCES.—Last night,
at 8 o'clock, a crowded meeting of chartists was held in the
Theatre, Milton-street, Cripplegate, which was tilled in every
part, "tor the purpose of bringing before the legislature
and the public the despotic and tohuman treatment of the
chartist victims." It was annnunckcl in the printed circular
that Mr. T. Waklcy, M.P., Mr. U. Thompson, M.l'.,
Thompson, M.P., Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., Mr. S. Crawford,
M.P., and Mr. F. O'Connor, M.P., had been invited to a.-
tend, but neither of them was pr./sent. A. petition to the
House of Corumcen was agreed to, praying that the chartist ,1
trisoners might be allowed to wear their own clothes, have
the use of woke, pens, ink, and paper, that they might
not be subjected to hard labour and to the silent system,
and to solitary confinement, and that they might not
be treated a' felons when only convicted of misdemea-
nor. Letters were rend from tome of the Chartist
prisoners; one was from Sharpe, dated from Westminster
Dritlewell, and addressed to his wife, complaining bitterly of
the stringent rules to which he was subjected. He however,
consoled himself with the thought that he was suffering for
the expression of those opinions which must eventually be
maintained. Ile compared his case with that of Lieutenant
Munro, who was sentenced to 12 months in Newcate for
murder. He (Lieutenant Munro) was allowed to he visited
b friends; he was permitted to walk about the place; he
also enj led many other privileges, but none of which were
i extended to him. Another communication was from Ernest
Jones, in which he complained bi'terly of the oakum
picking. which, he apprehended would greatly affect his
sight. Another epistle was from Williams, which was
couched in similar terms.

quired if these witnesses were examined when the magistrate

although they were all at the polica.court, and sought to be

trates did not go into all the evidence. He then summed un
the whole facts, and the jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."—Mr. Pelham inti.nated his intention of
