Chartist poet", and who has several times been ia custody
for riotous amidst% at chartist meetings, was charged with
causing great damage and disorder at the Tower Hamlets
Parliamentary sad Financial Helena Meeting held last
evening at the Zion Chapel, WhitechapeL
It appeared that the Finsoner, at as early period of the
proeee clogs, Intended himself epos the platform, sad evinced
is anxious dudes to address the meeting. Mr. Hall, of
Cutout-booth Quay, the chairman, promised him that he
should have as oppoetnnity, sad as moos as Mr. (1. Thomp-
son, M.P., sad otherAgendsimen had addressed the assns.
' blare, the Ashman allowed the prisoner to theme forward.
He at owes deleted himself to be set only an advocate of
thank's, bat a firm supporter elsonasaism, socialism, and
other similar doctrines, and that he had written • letter to
the queen to lartheranee of these (to,,him) important sub-
jects. This declaration gave rise to great disapprobatioa,
sad It was evident that th. meeting would not arm him
any logger. Alter the lapse of about tan minutes, and the
hour befog net 11 o'clock, Mr. Thompson, geeing the dia.
posidon of the meeting to break up, peopled • vote of
thanks to Mr. Hall, the chairman, and as the assemblage
was about giving three cheers Ice that gentienian.,the prisoner,
in the most frantic style, made an atheniot to jump on the
table, at the same moment wing oat " Three &ten for a
new Democratic Cabinet." He was immediately caught
hold of by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Hall, and other gentlemen,
and brought down. The fallow, however, kicked and
struggled violently, 'and after several ups and downs,
during which the reporters' notes, water bottles,
candles, and other articles, were scattered on the
floor, he took up a position on the table with
a candlestick in each hand, apparently in great triumph,
and looked down on the wreck he had made with sati•tao-
don and disdain. The audience called from all parte," Drag
him out. Give bias in charge of the police." He kept his
stand on the table, flowerer, and defied all efforts to displace
his. After more than ten initiates' entreaties, and the time
having arrived for closing the chapel, he was reremptorily
told that he must get down. He then turned to the pulpit,
and made • dash to mount it. He aught hold of the read-
ing portion of it, but finding it yielding to his weight, he
grasped the gas fittings at the aide of the pulpit, and tore
them away, and he might have been Worst had it sot bees
for the gentlemen on the platform, who caught kit as he
was falling. No sooner, however, did he recover himself
than he scrambled up again, and having damaged the figure
in front of the pulpit, eventually got oa the top of it. The
next moment, however, he was pulled down by a party of
gentlemen, and given in charge.
Mr. Tardly inquired whether it could be stated that the
prisoner wilfully tore down the fittings I—A witness an-
swered that be could.

Mr. Tadly (to prisoner)—Well, air, what have you to
?
Primmer—Why, that I am a anemia' reformer, sir.
Mr. Yardly—lndeed, I think you had better think about
reforming you own habits. I have sees you before.
Prisoner—Yon don't underaaad sm ; yes do as an in-
justice. The meeting was mansions to bear me, and as I had
writtea a latter to her most gracious Majesty on the alibi set
, of financial reform, I contended that I had her high @Atho-
-1 rity to lay the correspondence before the meeting. Mr. Yardley said the charge of wilfully destroying pro.
party had not been proved. and he meld not emus the
prisoner. It was evident that his mind was affected, and it
was a pity somethiag could sot be dose with him.
The chartist poet than peeked np his uttered primate
and left the wart.
