MEETING OF THE FRIENDS 01'

MR. LOVETT.

A meeting was held last evening at eight o'clock, at
the Hall of Science, City-road, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the case of Mr. Lovett, and
devising means for the maintenance of his family during
his incarceration. Long before the commencement of
the proceedings the area of the Hall was crowded.
Mr. GEORGE ROGERS took the Chair, on the motion
of Mr. MOORE, seconded by Mr. MITCHELL.
The CHAIRMAN said this was one of the great meet-
ings which formed the experiment, whether the work
ing classes were fit for liberty or not. It was easy to
meet and shout for Universal Suffrage, but it was
necessary they should support those who were suffer-
ing in the cause, and, taking example by their enemies,
not to permit those who were persecuted for their cause
to suffer. It was a fortunate circumstance that the
individual whom they were called on to support was
mild, humane, and of the best moral character ; but,
were it otherwise, it was their bounden duty to support
him who had got into peril for their cause. Mr. W.
Lovett was, of all others, a man of most philosophical
mind—an upholder of mora 'power—and his being
pounced upon was the greatest compliment that could
be paid him, and if benevolence did not prompt them to
see that his family did not suffer from devotion to their
cause, selfishness ought to do so.—(Hear, hear.) It was
for them to show the Government that it was useless to
put their advocates in prison, because they would sup-
port their families while they were incarcerated.—
(Loud cheers.)
Mr. WATSON proposed the first resolution. No one
esteemed Mr. Lovett more than he did. It was me-
lancholy to live, under a Government where men were
subjected to the treatment that Mr. Lovett had ex-
perienced for complaining of the treatment that the
labouring classes had experienced. But such had been
the course of all Governments, and the Whig Govern-
ment was no exception. But he trusted they should
teach them, not by outbreaks, or the destruction of life
and property, but by peaceful combination, that the
spirit of liberty was in them.—(Cheers.) But he felt
himself nerved by this prosecution of his friend to wage
war against those who bad so brutally treated him.
He trusted the meeting would show the Government
there was a spirit at work in the country that nothing
could quiet but the recognition of perfect equality. Let
those who treated Messrs. Lovett and Vincent as criminals
recollect that a change might take place by which they
might become criminals themselves. Let them recol-
lect that Prince Polignac and those who acted with
him became victims instead of victimizing more honest
men than themselves. It had always been said that

charges, or deterred from expressing their opinions
of a Government which was steeped to its neck in
everything that was vile and abominable. This sys-
(heenr
tem could not last, and if they felt as they ought to
feel, they would convince the Government that they
should not have the proceeds of their industry to
uphold a rotten system.—(Cheers.) A letter has
been received from Mr. Lovett this day, stating that in
consequence of the treatment he had received he was
now in the infirmary from sickness. Mr. Powell was in
Montgomery gaol for using language not so strong as
had been used in the Morning Chronicle. Mr, Powell
was a householder iu Welchpool, who had used his vote
against the nominee of Lord Clive, and it was owing
to Lord Clive that he was prosecuted.
Mr. WATSON coacluded by proposing the following
resolution :

" That this meeting
is of opinion that the prosecutions
instituted against Messrs. Lovett, Collins, Powell, Vincent,
and others, are proofs of a determination on the part of the
liberty-professing Whigs, to prevent all expression of
public feeling by the unrepresented millions through the
medium of public meetings. And this meeting more
especially believe the prosecution of Messrs. Lovett and
Collins to be designed to suppress the declaration of just
abhorrence entertained by the people towards acts of out-
rage and oppression - but it trusts that all right-feeling
Englishmen, undeterred by those efforts to subdue them,
will the more rigorously exert themselves, and not cease
their peaceful agitation until the claims of the working
classes to free and equal representation becomes the law
of the land."—.(Loud cheers.)
Mr. MooRE, in seconding the resolution, said, with
regard to Mr. Lovett and those who were now impri-
soned on political charges, they were only so imprisoned
because they had been zealous in this good cause. These
men were now in gaol without pen, ink, or paper, or any
means of communication with their friends. The fourth
rule forbade any prisoner to write a letter except within
the first week after his committal and the week before

his discharge. These were barbarous regulations made
for the mere purpose of spitotitt—vcrife_,unce. These

used
fact that not s)--at
Edin-
burgh..) a tittle
of evidence against Dr. Taylor, against whose arrest
the.a o r nrehye Cl
gh. by _
Mr. Lovett protested, was his justification. They were
in prison for using less violent language than had been
used by Mr. O'Connell or Lord J. Russell, but he trusted
that notwithstanding this prosecution every man who
thought he possessed the right of having a vote for a re-
presentative would not be deterred from coming forward
in support of his principles.—(Hear.)
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. HETHERINGTON came forward to propose •the
next resolution, and was received with loud applause.
He said they were assembled to perform a sacred duty,
that of rallying round the oppressed. They were called
to succour one well known to them ail (Mr. Lovett), who
had been convicted by an unjust and prejudiced Jury ;
lie should have been tried by a Jary of honest working
men, and a very different verdict would have been re-
turned. They had justified Bentham's definition of a
libel, that that was a libel at which any one could take
offence at who had the will and the power to punish.—
(Cheers.) Was this injustice to deter them from suc-
couring the oppressed or from punishing the oppressor ?
Mr. Lovett possessed a refined taste, an enlarged
mind, and an honest heart ; he was an affectionate hus-
band, a tried friend, and an inflexible patriot ; his abili-
ties were transcendant, and he had always advocated
principles of justice to himself and his class, without
injustice to other classes. There never was known such
a peaceful movement until bludgeon-men were sent to
cut down men, women, and children. He therefore
appealed to the meeting not to suffer the family of such
an excellent man to want whilst he was in prison fur

their cause. The Satirist of yesterday said, " The
Chartist. folly had had its day." He pitied their case if
they thought so. If every man who signed the petition
stood to it they would need to have new prisons as
well as new churches.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hether-
ington then read the leading article of the Satirist
of Sunday, which recommended " cold lead" as an
remedy for Chartism, and commented most indignantly
and eloquently on it as he proceeded, contrasting it
with the language of one of the addresses of the Work-
ing Men's Association, of which Mr. Lovett was the
author, in which he stated the object was to preserve
security alike for the mansion of the rich and the cot-
tage of the poor. What had been the effect of his in-
carceration ? He had already been alarmingly ill, and if
he should not be removed to the debtors' side he could
not survive the twelvemonths of his imprisonment. In
America the utmost punishment-would have been one
month's imprisonment. He knew what imprisonment
was, having been incarcerated twelve months; but he
was permitted to have comforts of which these prisoners
were deprived. He had been present at the meeting at which
Mr. Powell attended, and he could declare he had
never made use of the expressions ascribed to him, and
for which he was convicted. He had a letter stating
that Mr. Powell was deprived of the use of pen, ink,
and paper ; since the political prisoners had been in
gaol, the little privilegis which the prisoners had

The resolution was put and carried unanimously,
Mr. TAMPERELL had always taken a
deepinterest
in the affairs of the working classes, and he knew no
one who had done more to promote their interests than
Mr. Lovett. The addresses issued from the Working
Men's Association showed that ho possessed a depth of
Mind beyond most of his classt and it:
was melancholy

.that.sueh a mane should be incarcerated. He begged
"to propose the following resolution :--
" That a Committee be now formed, with power to add
to their number, to carry the foregoing resolutions into
effect; and that they be instructed to t,ke the most effi-
cient means they can devise to immediately raise an ade-
quate sum for the purpose contemplated, and it be appro-
priated in the way most congenial to the feelings of Mrs.
Lovett."

Mr. DERBYSHIRE seconded the resolution. He be-
lieved Mr. Lovett to be one of the most honest and
rigidly just men in existence, and therefore entitled to
the support of all honest men.

The resolution was then put, and passed unanimously.
A Committee was then appointed to manage the
subscriptions, consisting of friends of Mr. Lovett con-
nected with different societies in Finsbury.
It was proposed that some one from the Engineers
should be on the Committee, that trade being willing
to support the cause liberally. As the Committee had
power to add to the numbers it was understood that a
communication from the Engineers will be made to the
committee.

The CHAIRMAN suggested that agreeably to the
ancient practice of the Constitution, each ten men
should choose their tything men to collect the funds
and look after their appropriation. The thanks of the
meeting were then voted to Mr. Rogers, for his
conduct in the chair. Mr. Rogers acknowledged the
same, and the meeting separated.

INTERESTING NEW, FROM THE

EAST.

_
(From the French Papers of Saturday.)
" The news which the Government received on Thurs-
day (says the Moniteur of Saturday) from Constantinople
and Alexandria extend to the 27th of July. The most
perfect tranquillity continued to reign in Constantinople.
Akif Effendi, who had been sent by the Porte to offer
peace to Mehemet Ali, and the hereditary pachalick of
Egypt, had returned. It is known that the Viceroy has
declined this proposition, and persists in demanding that
the Sultan should grant to him the hereditary possession
of all the provinces of which the Government had been
given to him by the arrangement of Kutaya. The follow-
ing is the translation of the letter which Mehemet Ali had
addressed to the Grand Vizier to account for his refusal,
and to justify his pretensions :
" THE PACHA OF EGYPT TO THE GRAND VIZIER.
" I have had the honour to receive the letter by which
you announced to me that his Highness the most magnifi-
cent, very formidable, and very powerful Sultan, Abdul
Medjid Khan, had ascended the Imperial Throne, vacant
by Divine predestination ; that his Highness had granted
my pardon, as well as a decoration similar to that of the
other Viziers, and the hereditary possession of Egypt in
favour of my children; that Seraskier of the East, Hafiz
Pacha, had received orders to stop immediately the march
of the Ottoman army ; and that Akiff Effendi, Secretary of
the Council, was sent to me to explain how much the de-
licacy of the position of the Sublime Porte rendered
necessary the union of the Mussulman nation, and in chat
manner the agreement between the two parties could be
safely arranged. My first care has been to address prayers
to Heaven that our very magnificent and very powerful
Lord, Benefactor, and Emperor should always attain his
desires, and extend everywhere the shadow of his pro-
tection. I wrote afterwards to my son Ibrahim to fall
back if he had passed the Euphrates after the battle which
took place in the plains of Nezib, with his Excellency the
Seraskier of the East.

" Your Highness, and all the world knows also, that I
have always had at heart to hasten the happy union now
in contemplation, and to give to the Sublime Porte proofs
of my sincere attachment. But your Highness will recol.
lea also, that, under the reign of the late Sovereign, the
Beyliktchi Sarym-Effendi, who came here on a mission,
announced to me that the Sultan would grant to me in
perpetuity Egypt, Scyde, and Tripoli ; that I humbly re-
fused this proposition, and that I entreated his Highness to
concede to me in perpetuity, for me and my posterity, all
the provinces confided to my government.
" I venture to hope that, influenced not only by the old
union that exists between us, but also by the wisdom and
foresight which distinguish you, your Highness, consider-
ing the delicacy of the position of the Sublime Porte and
the good faith of your devoted servant, and looking to the
means necessary to secure the repose of the Mussulman
nation, will treat me in a manner conformable with the
exigencies of the moment and of fate.

`-i-As the letter of your Highness mention only Egypt,
and Akiff Effendi has declared to me that he has no in-
struction or authority for the rest, that is to say, for the
concession in perpetuity of all the provinces, such a pro-
position not being acceptable, this functionary prefers re-
turning to remaining uselessly here for corresponding or
negotiating, and he will express verbally to your Highness
what I have now the honour to state."-5 Djemariu-enel
1225 (16 July, 1839.)

The Moniteur likewise publishes a report of the battle
of Nezib, addressed by Captain Coilett to Marshal Soult,
but it differs in no essential particular from those already
published.

The Carlsruhe Gazette gives the following from Con-
stantinople, dated July 30:—." The Div.424,174-i-s,Ts—or
extr4Trizquitx..4.strat as set off for Alexandria,
and is to bring back the fleet. He takes to the Viceroy,
from the Sultan, the order of Nischani Iftichar, a
letter from the Grand Vizier, and a Erman which grants
him the hereditary sovereignty of Egypt. The Porte
has not replaced the Capitan Pacha, which shows

that it is intended to act with severity towards him."
The intelligence given above, which is three days later
than our last accounts, respecting the acceptance of all
the Viceroy's proposals, appears to us to stand in need of
confirmation ; and the more so, since the firman alluded to
has been stated in the Egyptian news of the Semaphore to
have been received at Alexandria previous to the 27th, and
therefore could not have been delivered to Akiff Effendi
after the three sittings of the Council mentioned at the
beginning of this communication.
" The Ambassadors of the Five Great Powers," says
the Semaphore, in its Constantinople news of the 27th ult.,
" came yesterday to congratulate the Grand Vizier on the
conciliatory disposition shown by Mehemet Ali. Khosrcw
Paella replied, that the Government was grateful for the
amity shown by the Powers, but that having nearly come to
a full understanding with the Viceroy no difficulties re-
mained requiring their intervention."
Extract of a letter from Trieste, sth instant :—" We

learn from Alexandria that the European Consuls, with
the exception of the Russian Consul, who remained passive,
have protested against the ostentatious reception of the
Capitan Paella, and have declared the latter a traitor to
the Sultan."

Extract of a letter from Alexandria, the 27th ult., given
by the Sod of Marseilles :—" The Government has re-
ceived an overland despatch from Constantinople with the
firman from the Sultan, granting to Mehemet Ali the
hereditary government of Egypt, the intended arrival of
which had been previously announced by letter. Captain
Walker has returned to Constantinople in an Austrian
steamer. B: fore his departure he went to the Turkish
Admiral, and declared to him that if he had been aware of
his intentions, he would have blown him up in his own
ship. The Capitan Pasha merely replied You cannot
comprehend the motives under whie'i I have acted.' All
the ammunition has been taken out of the Turkish ships,
the m9ney-chests have been brought ashore, and the
sailors, who have been regularly paid every month begin to
be uneasy, fearing to be subjected to the Egyptian discipline.
The Capitan Pacha still receives the most marked atten-
tions from the Viceroy and all the great officers of his Go-
vernmont. Having committed this act of defection from
motives of religion, and for his own personal safety, he
shows not the least signs of remorse, at the same he does
not conceal his regret at the loss of a station which he can
never hope to resume." The same journal quotes a Malta
letter, announcing, in positive terms, that Haft Pacha
has been assinated by an envoy from the Divan, an event
anticipated at Alexandria on its being known that a spe-
cial emissary had been sent to him by Khosrew Pacha. It
had been affirmed at Alexandria that the brother of the
Capitan Paella had been beheaded."

The Eng.ish Consul at Alexandria, according to a letter
quoted by the Sud of Marseilles, has been furnished with
the Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and the
Porte, and M. Cochelet, the French Consul, was in daily
expectation of his copy. The Sultan's Erman for its exe-
cution had reached the Paella, but the question was, how
was it to be enforced under existing circumstances?

MANCHESTER.

THE SACRED MONTH.
MONDAY, AUGUST 19.—The late confusion which
threatened the peace, and menaced the property of this
town and its adjacent districts, has settled down it is to
be hoped, into a permanent quiet. Colonel Wemyss and
the authorities are adopting every precautionary measure
against popular ebullition. The military are in readi-
ness to march out on a second's warning, and the police
are constantly patrolling the streets, and are keeping
thern quite clear. The general opinion is, that all dan-
ger is for the present over, but that there is at the same
time a great necessity for watchfulness, as the slightest
excess or relaxation on the part of the authorities might
prove fatal to the peace of the borough.
In Bolton the rioters were not idle, and but for the
timely interference of Colonel Cairneross, and the mili-
tary under his command, would have proceeded to
frightful extremities. The town-hall is what builders
call a mere carcase. The windows, shutters, doors, and
all the wood-work have been demolished. It is at pre-
sent occupied by the military. The Exchange was also
damaged. This town, it must be remembered, was the
only ohe which made a return to the Convention of
being ready. "Indeed,thaugh it at present wears a peace-
ful aspect, there should be but little confidence placed in
the continuation of that peace. The people are a deter_
mined, sulky, and ill-advised race. The military were com-
pelled to fire into the Town-Hall, of which the Chart-
ists possessed themselves, before they could eject them ;
only one man was slightly wounded. The military con-
tinue under arms, and are placed .in situations well
selected for making reprisals on the rioters.
The most satisfactory accounts have reached from
Salford, Oldham, Rochdale, Haywood, Bury, Middle-
ton, Blackburn, Chorley, and even from Ashton-under-
Lyne. The people in all those places are engaged in
their honest avocations, and have given up all idea of
physical force. They have been astonished at the little
sympathy evinced for the cause by the London work-
ing classes.

The Chartists, following the advice of Mr. O'Con-
nor, attended the old Church in great numbers on the
Sabbath. The authorities having been previously ad-
vised of their intention, had a company of infantry
and a troop of Dragoons in readiness to act should
the Chartists behave disorderly. But they conducted
themselves with great decorum. It, is said that pre-
vious to divine service they handed the clergyman a
Chartist text to preach from. The former selected
his text—" My house is the house of prayer, but you
have made it a den of thieves." On its aanouncement
the Chartists quitted the Church, and left the usual
congregation in quiet possession of it.
