Mr. Collins stated that in attending those meetings he
followed the example of men who should have been their
guides • and that he never attended a Bull-ring meeting
after ;he majority of the people declared at Holloway-
head that they should be discontinued, and he denounced
the attack by the police upon the people assembled as
brutal and unctinstitutional, it having taken place before
the Riot Act was read.

Mr. Collins having signed his statements, the two pri-
soners were remove.i, and the room was ordered to be
cleared. After a few minutes, they were again brought
before the Bench, when . _

The CHAIRMAN stated that they were committed for
trial at the next Assizes; bot for their appearance at the
next Assizes bail would be acecoted, 5001 themselves, and
two sureties of 250/. each—forty-eight hour? notice being
required.
Messrs. Lovett and Collins protested again,l the amount
of bail required, as being too excessive for working men,
whose wages did not exceed 30s. a-week.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Bench had waghed the
matter well and would not lessen the amount.

The CHAIRgAN read a parr dpnying that Mr. Monti
ever accepted the office of Delegate, or ever acted as a
Member of the Convention.

At f ,ur o'clock this morning ('unday), they, with 13
other prisoners, were conveyed to Warwick jail under a
strong escort.
On Saturday night, for the first time, the people attacked
the houses, breaking the windows and smaa.hing the gas
tubes, leaving the streets in darkness. To us,l the 'words
of the pollee, it was the roughest night they bad ; 13 pri-
voners were arrested. Things still retain a frightful aspect.
Dr. Taylor was released Saturday night, and return Rd at
4 o'clock on Sunday morning; in prison his Bair was cult off.

(From the Dispatch.)
'BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY, 12 O'CLOCK .—Nfartial law
was carried into full effect last night by the authorities:
the soldiers commenced, in the most ~:avago manner, L.'
clear the streets, the cavalry cutting at all persons who got
in the way. One poor fellow had his head cloven open,
and a surgeon could not be found to dress it ; and the unii
fortunate man was carried away in a cart. At two o'clock
this morning, Mr. Lawrence brought into town some
prisoners, under an escort of Police and Rifles. During
the night several other arrests took place, but it is impos-
sible to ascertain the charges against- them, as no persons
were admitted into the presence of the representatives of
justice, unless they were evidence. Yesterday, a public
meeting was convened at Holloway Head, bzit the parties
were dispersed at the point of the bayonet, and by the ca-
valry, who drove the people into the canal. Seve.ral 'were
wdUnded on the occasion.

Last night additional military forces arrived from
Coventry and Weedon. O'Connor has also just waived.
He has been deputed to wait on the anti orities foritho..ur
of the Town-hall to hold a public meeting. If this -'s
refused the people will attend all the chureins to-morrow,
in companies of • tens, twelves, and fifteens. The Con-
vention met last night to examine witnesses, when it ap-
peared that the attack was made on the people half an
hour before the Riot Act was read. Bail ham been ac-
cepted for Dr. Taylor. The bill-sticker who posted the
address on ulterior measures has been arrested.

Last night a young matt received a cut on the neelc and
face from the sabre of a dragoon; and another person bad
his nose nearly cut off. The metropolitan police never
move about except in bodies, and then they are armed with
cutlasses and pistols.
THREE o'CLocx.—The Convention has been debating
the ulterior measures to be taken, in case they should be
prevented from assembling on the 13th instant, to fix the
commencement of the sacred month, and it was resolved
that a Committee of six should be appointed, whose deci-
sion should be unnounced, and regarded as that of the
whole Convention. The Magistrates are examining the
prisoners arrested last night. I have examined the weapons
which were then seized, which are of a multifariotta descrip-
tic,n, as daggers, chisels, hammers, short iron-bars,lce. The
Convention sat for a time with closed doors, anclit is under-
stood the Chartists are all to assemble in the churches to-
morrow. Guest, the printer of an Address from the .-Ceit-
vention to the People of England, was arrested to-day it:
the police-office, on appearing there to bail Dr. Taylor.
Martial law is to be enforced, and all shops and public-
houses closed at eight o'clock in the evening.

The Add-ess above referred to recommended-1: An
instant run upon the Savings Banks. 2. That all paper
be converted into gold. 3. An abstinence from exciseablc
articles. 4. A❑ exclusive dealing with Chartist shop-
keepers. 5. A general arming. It notified that imme•
diately after the 12th, the day for ceasing to work will be
named.

TWELVE O'CLOCK, SATtIRDAY NIGHT.
ARREST OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NA-
TIONAL CONVENTION AND OTHER DE-
LEGATES.

This evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. Lovett, Delegate
for London and its districts, and Secretary to the Conven-
tion, was arrested in the Convention-hall, Acton-streft,
where be and other Delegates were engaged in examining-
witnesses touching the late attack on the people by the
police. Mr. Bolton, the chief constable, and Mr. John
Palmer, police-officer, were the officers who put the
warrant into execution, which they did in a manner becom-
ing men obliged to discharge so painful and disagreeable
a duty. At eight o'clock, dr. John Collins, Delegate for
Birmingham, was also arrested by Mr. Bolton, or he
rather delivered himself up, for hearing that a warrant was
issued against him, and in Mr. Bolton's hands, he waited
upon him and surrendered. At nine o'clock Messrs. Lovett
and Collins were brought before thct Recorder and the
following Bench of Magistrates—Messrs. Clarke, Walker,
P. 11. Muntz, W. Chance, C. Shaw, and F. Clarke.
The charge against them was for having caused to be
printed and circulated a seditious libel, vie. the three la?
resolutions, which were passed after Dr. Taylor's arrest-
At 12 o'clock, after a very lengthened investigation, the
room was cleared, and in a few minutes after the prisoners
were ordered in, when the Chairman, Mr. Chance, de-
clared them guilty of the libel, and committed them for
trial at the ntxt Assizes. Bail, in the sum of 5001., and
two sureties in 2501. each was demanded. The parties in
vain protested against the enormous amount of bail. Other
arrests, will, it is expected. take place during 'the night.
The state of the town continues in the same excited state.
About seventy prisoners have been arrested during the '
last three days.
Mews. Feargus O'Connor and Smith have become
bail for Dr, Taylor, in the sum of 2501. each • the Dr-
was required to enter into personal security in the sum of
400/ Two coaches, filled with prisoners, and committed
for trial at the Ass:zes, have just quitted Birminghan for
Warwick gaol, under a stong escort. The policemen are
pronounced out of danger. At the suggestion of Feargus
O'Connor, 100/. out of the National Defence Rent, will be
handed over as a loan to the National Defence Fund, and
to be applied in defence of the prisoners to be tried on the
I:th instant. _ _

The special constables are all dintinguished by
white bands on their arms. The yeomanry have
been ordered to be in readiness, but are not (with
a few exceptions) allowed to enter the town. The military
begin to complain of their duty, which, up to the present
moment, has been of the most harassing description.
Feargus O'Connor has expressed an opioion that the people
have acted with great tameness. Altogether, between 70
and 80 persons have been arrested.
Our reporter concludes—lt is said to be tfi^ determina-
tion of Government to give a deathblow to Chartism. If
the expressions and threats of the people on the one bend,
and the hostile preparatfqns for a defence on the other by
the authorities, convey anything like information, a blow
is expected from some quarter.

We are glad to learn that there is no foundation
' for the report of the death of the Bisi:cp of Lichfield and
Coventry. The Right Rev. Prelate, Who is residing in
Own, has been dangerously ill for some rime past, 'but
within the last few days his health has been considerably
improved. Sir Henry Halford and Mr. A. B, Chisholm,
of Dev-mshire-street, are in daily attendance. upon his
Lordship.

cases to effect instant relief. It is seldom or ever
that an invention of striking merit is Ikid before the
public that ignorant pretenders do not start forth:
in no case is this more observable than in Ireland as well as '
England, by persons who not only assume the u.ame of So-
-1"lons, but actually as having a connection with their
house, 39, Albemarle-street. Numerous ladies and gentle-.
men are daily calling who have been misled by these preten-

tations, which they term Voice Conductors and Spettaeles,
upposing them to be the Messrs. Solomons' invention,
which not only proved to be useless but productive of very
iil effects. The Messrs. Solomons do not employ any agents
or travellers—their improvements in the materials are secrets
to themselves, and are solely confined to their establish-
