THE CHARTISTS.

THE CHARTISTS IN MANCHESTER.—Since Saturday
evening, when the meeting was held in Stevenson's-
square, the Chartists, so far as regards assemblages,
have been tolerably quiet.
BURY.—We understand that the Bury Chartists,
like their brethren elsewhere, took possession of the
parish. church on Sunday ; but the worthy Rector, being
fully prepared for their visit, gave them a lecture on the
duty of keeping the peace and obeying the law, which,
from its length as well as from its force, many of them
would not exactly relish.
ROCHDALE CHARTISTS AT CHURCH.—On Sunday
last these gentry, like their friends in the neighbouring
towns, assembled in considerable numbers, and attended
the parish church. They were generally clean, though
1.0rn,2 of them were clad in their working dresses, per-
for of a change. Several men were in the
church en Son day, with their wives and families, who
had never been *he

TIIE BOLTON CHARTIST.—
On Saturday morning
last, at an early hour, the Chartist: mustered on the
New Market Place, for the purpose of again proceed-
ing to the parish Church. The morning heir" exceed-
ingly fine, great crowds of persons were attractdinto
the principal streets to witness the proceedings. Ihe
Chartists seemed rather disconcerted towards ten
o'clock, as their numbers by no means answered their
anticipations. After the bells had commenced ringing.
however, they formed themselves ; and, on moving off
the square, their numbers, on being counted, were
found to be little more than six hundred, a large pro-
portion of them being boys. On arriving at the Church,
they found the police and others busily engaged in
making way for them through the crowd, and inviting
them forward ; but, on entering the Church, they were
somewhat ,disappointed in finding it about half filled
with the usual members of the congregation. They
were, therefore, obliged to procure seats where they
could. Their conduct during the service was un-
usually decorous, probably owing to the sprinkling
of other parties amongst them. The Rev. Mr.
Robin, the Curate, delivered an impressive sermon,
though not particularly appropriate to the occasion.
At the close of the service, they returned to the New
Market Place ; aud, in the afternoon, a local preacher
from Bury, of their own creed and politics, delivered a
short sermon. In the evening Richard Carlisle de-
livered a lecture, exposing some of their follies, but
recommending them to continue their attendance at
the church, which he said belonged to the people ; and,
if they were not satisfied with the minister provided
for them, to elect one of their own, and place him in a
pulpit in the church. He then:proceeded to read
over the 6th chapter of Timothy, and grounded his
text on the same verse as that selected by the Curate
on last Sunday but one, and at the conclusion of his
harangue appealed to them as to which had made the
best sermon ; as much as to say, " If the clergyman
does not suit you, appoint me in his stead." The day
passed off without the slightest disturbance, although
many persons were in great fear that such extraor-
dinary proceedings were calculated to end in nothing
but a desecration of the Sabbath.

NATIONAL HOLIDAY.—On Sunday, a meeting of
Chartist Delegates was held in the Ebenezer Chapel at
Middleton, to ascertain the determination of the seve-
ral districts in the neighbourhood as to the carrying
into effect, or otherwise, the " ulterior measure" of a
national holiday. The result was a resolution to hold
the holiday—to commence, report says, on Monday
next.—Manchester Guardian.
CHARTIST VALOUR.—We have always said that the
men who bragged so loudly, in Bobadil fashion, at
Chartist meetings, were not likely men to stand the
smell of gunpowder. We were not surprised, however,
to learn that immediately on the appearance of the civil
power, backed by the military, the Chartists of the
who had invaded Newcastle on
neighbouring village.f,
Tuesday, in order to set the proclamation of the Magis-
trates at defiance, scampered t;,"lt of the Forth in all direc-
tions, in which deed of bravery they were fully kept in
countenance by their brethren of the borough. One va-
lorous wight, who came puffing and panting along Tyne
Bridge, never thought' himself . safe until he, was en-
sconced in the chimney corner of a public house in
Gateshead. This hero of the pike much amused the
company by relating the ciraimstatices connected with
his retreat, and their merriment was not a little in-
creased by the fact that the poor fellow's eight was
caused by his having mistaken the order of one of the
officers. "We were all stanning tegither (he said),
luikin' at the sowlgers, an' laughin' at the specials, an'
just busy reckonin' hoo many pikes it ud take to clear
the streets o' them, when an officer shooted out, Reet
about fire r (face was the word)—an' doon we a' went
off t'wall we were stannin' on. Aw fell o' my feet, but
some o' them didn't. Aw set off as hard as aw could
run, an' aw nivver luikt ahint me till aw found mysel'
syeff i' this hoose." The chairman of the meeting, too,
we understand, was seen on this side the Tyne within
a very few minutes of the appearance of "the specials."

THE t‘ EXPERIMENT"-BANK OF

IRELAND.

(Abridged from the Dublin Pilot)
The opposition to this " unjust and injurious monopoly,"
as the Trades call it, begins to assume a national aspect,
which it ought to have assumed long ago bad the people
thoroughly understood its wicked effects. Our paper to-
day is full of meetings and debates on the subject. The
most important feature, however, which we have to notice
is the meeting of the Trades' Union, called together after
some years of suspension, to take this " unjust and injurious
monopoly into consideration." The leaders of the Trades
seem to understand perfectly the effects of the monopoly
in banishing trade from our shores.

The Trades adjourned to Tuesday evening, and as the
interest increases, we look forward with much satisfaction
to its proceedings. There is still time to mitigate the mo-
nopoly. The battle is well sustained by a few, but it is
only beginning.
If our advice had sufficient weight with Ministers, it
would be—Withdraw this measure while yet you may do
so with a good grace ; persevere, and you will bring your
Government into disrepute. On to-day Drogheda meets
again. It may be the last struggle.
We may possibly now have arrived at the end of the ex-
periment of seeking for justice for Ireland in a London
Parliament. We do not wish to give the word of corn.
mand to stand for Repeal; but we think if it were given
by O'Connell on the passing of this Bank Monopoly Bill,
that it would be responded to by one million of men.
200,000 Volunteers wrenched free trade from England
in the days of Grattan. Five times that number are now
at the disposal of O'Connell.

THE LATE DREADFUL MURDER

AT HAREFIELD.

--
On Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock, Mr. Wakley
M. P., having appointed the inquest to take place at Hare-
field, upon the body of Moses Gates, fishmonger and
carrier at Harefield, who was stabled in the abdomen by a
boy of the name of Edmund Cateh, 15 years of age, of
very diminutive stature, a most respectable Jury was
empannalled at the Cricketers, where a very lengthened
examination of several witnesses occurred, and the inquiry
into the circumstances of the case lasted till half-past
eleven o'clock. The investigation excited considerable
interest, and the Jury room was crowded. Among the
persons present were Sir William Wiseman and other
Magistrates, with several of the influential inhabitants.
The facts of the case, which have already appeared, are
briefly these :—The accused called upon the deceased, on
the afternoon of Saturday, when seeing a piece of salmon,
be offered a price for it. A dispute arose about the money
to be given, the difference between the two being a penny.
The accused became insolent, when the deceased told
him that he should not have the fish, and gave him a cuff
on the head. The boy left, and he was followed by the
deceased, who thinking that he was going to leave altoge-
ther, turned back. But he bad not gone far, when he
looked back, and then saw the deceased approlching toward
him with a large knife in his hand. Directly after the boy
struck the knife into the abdomen of the deceased, he
immediately fell. The deceased was taken home and
attended by a medical gentleman, but who immediately
saw that all human assistance was unnecessary, and the
unfortunate deceased died on the following evening.
The CORONER summed up in a very full and elaborate
manner, after which, the Jury retired, and after a long
consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against Edward Caton. The Coroner then made out his
warrant for his committal to Ncwgate, and the several
witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The accused
was present during the inquiry.

Saturday, as the Magistrates and River Trus-
tees, on their annual tour, for inspecting the lights, light-
houses, and beacons, on the Clyde, were approaching Gree-
nock, a number of ship guns previously placed on the
steam-boat quay, for the purpose of saluting the autho-
rities, were recklessly fired off just as the Locbgoil steamer
was starting from the quay on her passage out. Some
of the people on board were fortunate enough. to dodge the
wadding as it fell on the deck of the Locbgoil, but one lady
on the quarter deck had the silk cap on her head set on
fire, as also a silk umbrella lying by her side on the seat,
destroyed by burning wadding. The saluting at Greenock
was under the superintendence of one of the harbour
masters.---Glasgow Chronicle.
THE CA PERCA ILZIE.-1 hIS bird, we learn
from the sporting Magazine, is again likely to become
once more a native of Scotland, as the Marquis of Bread.
albane is now restoring them to tke pine-ferests of Bread-
albane, and with every success. Early in the spring of
last year Mr. Lloyd sent direct from Sweden twenty-
eight fine healthy birds, which arrived safe, and were
placed in proper aviaries at Taymouth Castle, when an in-
cubation took place, and about thirty fine young birds wne
brought up with trouble and care. Part of those brought up,
and part of the Swedish emigrants, were turned out last
autumn in a large pine forest, south from the castle, calls d
Drummond-hill; and several broods of those so turned out
have been seen this summer. The Noble Lord has also
caused every gray hen's nest that was discovered this
spring in the neighbourhood of Taymouth, to be robbed
of her eggs, and the number filled up with the eggs of
the capercailzic. Ninety-six eggs were disposed of in
this way, and not long since, the head keeper flocked a
gray hen with a flue brood of seven birds. They have
also at this time a quantity of thriving young birds bringing
up by band, which in a few months will be added to the
number of those already hatched in the forest of Breadal-
bane, and thus eventually stock with the finest of feathered
game the noblest of Scottish forests.

EVENING EMTION.

CRUELTY OF THE LA W CHURCH-

The folio wing case, which we (Leicestershire Mercury)
have received front a respectable Correspondent—is but
one out of many instances of the grievous oppression of
the poor by the myrmidons of the Church Establishment :--
Castle Donington, June 18, 1839.
A few weeks back, the Vicar's churchwarden, accom
panied by a constable, called upon a very poor woman and
demanded 6d. fora Church-rate. The husband ha a jour-
neyman painter, who had been until recently out of employ
for twenty weeks, and they had three children, and the
woman is near her confinement again. She told them she
had not sixpence in the world, nor did she know where to
get it. They told her that unless it was paid that week or
the next, she would be summoned along with all the rest
who did not pay. The other day the constable called again
—by what authority I know not—l suppose he was em-
ployed because his presence and manner of demanding
might be more effectual. She told him she had it not
in her power to pay, otherwise she would. He replied,
" Unless you pay me in a day or two you will be sum-
moned, and you had better pay 6d. than 105.," meaning
for expenses. The poor woman was much alarmee, and
considering her situation, was much more so than per-
haps otherwise she might have been. Having no money
or anything in the house for herself and children's saner,
she prevailed upon a kind neighbour to lend her fourpence,
with which she intended to purchase a little bacon for their
dinners ; but being alarmed at the expression of the con-
stable, she searched the house over, and found a few bits
of old iron, which she sold for twopence, and that,
with
the fourpence she had borrowed, she sent tothe constable
to ply her rate, and neither she nor her three children
had a niorsel of dinner that day, and several times when
the same pt'rson has called upon her for a poor- rate (be be-
ing employed to collect both), she has not had a morsel of
bread in the house for. herself and children, nor a penny to
purchase any.
These are facts, and can be verified on oath, and I fear
there are many others in this town equally deplorable.
What think you will the xlarquis of Hastings say to this
when he hears of it? And independent of the Marquis,
it may be fairly calculated that there are regular church-.
goers in this place whose united fortunes cannot be com-
puted at less than 120,000/ —yet Lave not the honour or
religion to pay for the repairs and expenditure of their_
own church, but plundering the last farthing--and part of
that borrowed—from a poor and starving farn.ily, to ease
their own pockets. Is this the way to maintain religion,.
the religion of the State ? Oh, shame 1 shame 1 startle I
Well may there be so many Dissenters.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

-.
The Courier of last evening, speaking of Lord Brougham's.
resolutions on Tuesday in the House of Lords respecting the
Irish Government, says :—" The resolutions in themselves
are harmless enough, and will do little mischief on the
books. They are not the first silly compositions that have
been inscribed there, and will probably not be the laSt•
Such votes are utterly valuless, unless public opinion sustei
tion them, and in the present instance the y'can do mischief
only to their authors. They are a mere ma.nifestation of
potent malignity, of a wish without a power to hurt. If the
Marquis of Normanby had really interfered with the
course of justice in Ireland, or had really prostituted the
prerogative of mercy to party ends, it is not by a string
of maudlin resolutions that the House of Lords ought to
mark its sense of such treasonable conduct; in such a case
there would be but one course for the House to pursue
—that of immediately impeaching the traitor. But this
they dare not do, for they know they have not even the
shadow of a case to carry into Court."
The Globe thus alludes to Lord Brougham's speech
the House of Lords on Tuesday :—" Lord Brougham ha
shot his bolt. The Noble Lord has again, for the grat'"'
cation of personal spleen, prompted by the ignoble pleasure
of private vengeance, become the mouthpiece of the Tee
Peers. He has sought relief for the feverish restlessuel
of his nature in a tissue of ingenious misrepresentations e,
the administration of justice in Ireland under Lora
Normanby's government, and in bitterly eloquent vituper,
ration against him, and against the Ministry which. ha"
rendered itself responsible for his acts—not merely by MI:,
plication, but by direct approval. Cheers from the V.?
Peers, among which the voices of Lords Roden and 14.11`1A.
hurst were distinguishably loud, rewarded and sustatne'
their leader, who certainly laboured in their cause with I
fervour of devotion at once gratifying to them, and expres-
sive of his desire to be identified henceforth with the Orange,
faction, whose spirit he seems to have caught, arid bleadea
with his own."
The Standard praises Lord Brougham's speech on Toes'
day in the Lords in the following terms : " The motion
of Lord Brougham, last evening in the House of Lord
was of a character that entitles it to be long held in grater
fur remembrance by every lover of the Constitution, b4l
his political opinions what they may. Of the speech by
which it way' introduced, it is scarcely possible for us to ex-
press ourselves in terms of exaggerated eulogium. It cola'
bined all the usual characteristics of his Lordship's eloquence
with that calm, deliberate, and dispassionate digest of facts,. 00
indispensable to the due comprehension of a case involving"
an extensive chain of evidence. So overwhelming, indeett •
does its effect appear to have been upon the unhaPPY Peo
sons whose conduct it impugned, that they seem to, 11:y
lost all decent self-possession on the occasion; and
of attempting to answer, in detail, the counts on which"
they were indicted, to have fallen into a state of complete
paralysis ; the argumentum ad miserico"diun3 almost' being
the only jive of defence they ventured to adopt."
