For several days past various rumours have beon
in circulation at the Clubs particularly at Crockford's, of
the sudden departure for the Continent of a sporting No-
bleman, remarkable for his princely doings at Melton Mow.
bray, who, it is said, has involved himself in serious pecu-
niary difficulties. We refrain from divulging the name of
his Lordship, although in a few days we have not the
slightest doubt but that all the loungers at Tattersall's will
be in the secret. - A Noble Lord is said to be partly mixed
up with the extravagant doings at Melton—Morning
Herald.

When the Chartists met in this town on the evening of
the 22d of March, Tugwell, the Under- Sheriff, and a num-
ber of TOries, calling themselves respectable, led a num-
ber of drunken ruffians to the waggon upon which Messrs.
Vincent, Brien, Roberts, and Carrier, were addressing the
people, and almost upset it, tore their flags, and threw
mud in their faces, and obliged them to leave the market-
place, and take shelter in the Curriers' Arms and Nag's
Head, where they explained their principles, and deter-
mined to hold another meeting on Easter Monday (this day.)
No sooner was this determination known to the Tories
than Dr. Dyke, M.D. (a notorious character in Devizes),
sent circulars to the enemies of liberty and freedom, re-
questing them to meet at the Castle Inn, to devise measures
for the preservation of the public peace, although they
broke it and instigated others to do so the previous week.
Accordingly a meeting took place, when some respectable
Tories advised them to allow the Chartists to enter the
town without molestation. Others recommended them to
sign and present a requisition to the Mayor, Samuel
Whitchurch, Esq., requesting him to call a general
meeting of the inhabitants, to concert some plan to pre-
serve the peace of the Borough. These suggestions were I
indignantly rejected by a large majority. " D—n the
Mayor," said they; "We can do it ourselves." It was
ultimately agreed upon that the friends in the *vicinity
should be requested to send their workmen to drive the
Chartists out of town if they had the temerity to come.
Mr. Brown, of Horton, a most furious and bigoted Tory,
and a mortal enemy to liberty, used all his influence in
seconding this illiberal measure. The farmers of Coate,
Urchfont-street, Bishop Canning's-street, and Puttern,
most readily lent their co-operation, and sent their men,
and gave them more beer in one day than they would
allow thorn. in any two in harvest. A Mr. Tucky, of
Lavington, actually gave from ten to twenty men of
Puttern new smock-frocks, to go anti beat the Chartists;
and one man of Pottern was promised 164. per week for
his work, if he would da his duty. The Sheriff, Mayor;
and Magistrates of the Borough issued a bill, cautioning
the inhabitants of Devizes and neighbourhood to abstain
from meeting, and requesting them to give their gra-
tuitous services as special qonstables, as they had heard
that an armed body of Chartists was expected from Trow-
bridge and Bradford. Monday came, the Devizes troop
of Yeomanry wero ordered to assemble at New Park, about
a mile out of Devizes, at nine o'clock. A detachment of
the 12th Lancers, stationed in the town, were on duty at
an early hour in the jyard of the Bear Hotel.- up to
nine o'clock, the town presented its usual dull
appearance, with the exception of a few children running
about to see the " Sogers." The morning was cold and
wet, and the liberal and well-disposed of the Conservative
tradesmen went about their usual employment, thinking the
unfavourable state of the weather would prevent the people
from coming into Devizes, and that the Chartists would
make April fools of the Tories. It was reported that the
Tories had: bands: of from ten to twenty countrymen, in
their various public-bouses. This report did not receive
much attention, till groups of the Conservative tradesmen
(the mere slaves and tools of the Landholders and Clergy),
were seen in deep and earnest consultation about eleven
o'clock, passing from one public-house to another. About
twelve o'clock strangers began to make their appearance in
large numbers, but nothing was beard of the Chartists till
two o'clock, when word came that a body one thousand
strong were within a mile of the town. This intelligence
put toe Tories into active preparation, and their leaders,
William Morris, churchwarden ; William Clarke, surgeon ;
Rakes Bayly, lawyer, with his poor, brainless tool, Mul-
lings ; Blandy,who had to:pay 51. for breaking into a house,
when the Chartists last met, this young man, we have
been informed, is the son of a Berkshire Magistrate.; Far-
mer Brown, of Horton ; Farmer Tucker, of Lavington,
Holloway, a low butcher, of Patten : Butcher Reynolds,
Jack Ellen, Clerk at the Stamp Office ; Dyk Parrott,
M.D., &c., scoured the streets like blood-hounds engaging
all the low blackguards on their side.
At half-past two, Vincent, Roberts, and Carrier, led about
a thousand persons (principally boys), into the Market-
place, in a most quiet and orderly manner, with their ban-
ners unfurled, where a waggon was placed far the speakers.
I speak et ithin compass when I say that one-half of the
thousand were more fit to be the inmates of an hospital than
any thing else. There must be something wrong in the
social system when we see so many pale and emaciated
countenances come from our manufacturing towns. If the

would move the hearts of millions.

The Chartists had no soooer taken their position in the
Market•place, than Farmer Brown, of Horton, went to a
number of gentlemen who were standing at the Bear Hotel,
and said, " Come and let us prevent them from speak-
ing." William Clarke, surgeon, immediately came up
and said, " There's enough now to clear the Market-place
in ten minutes." By this time, William Morris, Church-
warden, led some poor men across to the crowd, where he
was joined by some hundreds which were now coming
from the public-houses in all directions, headed by their
farmers, and armed, with heavy bludgeons, rushed with sa-

vage fury upon the peaceable and defenceless Chartists,
whom they. cruelly beat, and tore their flags, and in 15
minutes drove from the Market-place; Messrs. Vincent, Ro-
berts, and Carrier, fled to the Currier's Arms for protec-
tion. The Tories now took possession of the waggon,
which was mounted by Little Gilbert, an ironfounder, for.
merly a red-hot Radical, but now, like Morris, a violent
Tory creature and tool. The flags of Burdett, used at the
General Election, were now paraded through the streets,
and the Chartists' waggon was broken before the eyes of
the High Sheriff, who looked extremely complaisant.
Up till four o'clock the agricultural labourers came into
the town from all quarters, increasing the fury and mad.
ncss of the drunken mob, by the accession of numbers, so
that they vowed and determined the destruction of Messrs. ,

Roberts and Vincent, who, perceiving their danger, put
themselves under the protection of the Sheriff about six
o'clock. He sent them out of town as far as the New Pri-
son, on the Bath road, under the protection of a body of
constables. A respectable Conservative tradesman ( Mr.
T. North) took Mr. Vincent into his gig, when he received
violent blow on the back of his head, and escaped with
great difficulty. RadicAls of Britain, beware of the
Tories

The mob became so violent to Mr. Roberts, that he re-
turned to the Bear Hotel, and escaped through a garden
behind the house, unobserved.

I trust this will open the eyes of the Chartists, to see
that were the Tories in power, they would experience no
mercy nor justice 'from them. Not a single Whig offered
them the lea:t violence, but, on the contrary, showed them
much kindness.

Since the above was wtitten, I have seen some electors,
who said they would riot now hke to see the Tories in

. _ .
office, and that they would not remain neutral were an
election to take place.

BOUNDARY QUESTION.

It has been stated that her Majesty Ministers and
the American representative at this Court had agreed
upon the basis of an arrangement of the North-Eastern
Boundary Line, which had been forwarded for the con-
sideration of the American Government. The -fact,
however, is not so. The state of the case at present
is this :
In 1831 the King of the Netherlands gave his award.
This was accepted by Great Britain. To an applica-
tion to the Government of Washington for their aceep.
tance of the award, the reply was, that as the State of
Main'e rejected it, the Central Government could not
accept it. At different subsequent periods the matter
was pressed upon the Government of Washington, but
still without effect. A proposal was then made by
the British Government, that the disputed territory
should be equally divided between the State of Maine
and the Province of New Brunswick. This offer was
also rejected, the State of Maine declaring positively
that it would accept of no conventional line. That
State required that the territory should be surveyed,
and the boundary line struck according to the treaty
of 1783.

To this of course the Government can have no ob-
jection, however much they might have preferred a lea
dilatory plan of arrangement.
It would, however, be manifestly useless to appoint
a Commission, without a clear preliminary understand
ing between the two Governments as to the principles
by which the inquiry is to be regulated. The pro-
position of the British Government will be forwarded
to the United States by the next packet.—Morning
Paper.

EARTIIQUAKE.---On Wednesday se'nnight,
about a quarter past three o'clock in the morning, a violent
shock of an earthquake was felt at Glengarry, Inverness-
shire. A dredging barge in the canal lying afloat was so
violently shaken as to cause the whole of the people sleeping
on hoard (twelve in number) instantly to awaken and rush
upon deck, when they heard the echo reverberating through
the hills. The clergyman, too, and almost all the people
in the neighbourhood were awakened by the noise. At
the inn a; Glengarry the doors were lifted off the latches,
and the inhabitants much alarmed. We have heard of no
accident in consequence.—Correspondent of the Glasgow
Chronicle.

LOCOMOTION SIMPLIFIED.---We have had
the pleasure of inspecting, at Mr. Barton's coach manufac.
tory in 111,1 k-street, Bristol, a carriage which may be said
to be almost self-acting, its motion being obtained from the
rider's own weight. In construction it is peculiarly light
and elegant, and on mechanical principles beautifully
adapted to the object sought to be obtained. The rider's
seat is a saddle, and the only effort he is required to make
for the rapid propulsion of the vehicle is the easy motion
used in a trot on horseback. The result of a trial of its
capabilities on Durdham.down and the Stapleton road,
fully proves that great velocity may be obtained on a level
road. On a slight descent 25 miles per hour may be tra-
versed without danger, and to ascend a hill very little
exertion is necessary—some must, of course be used; for
even the powers of a steam-carriage are taxed to accom-
plish an ascent. A vehicle which, from a description we
have read, appears to be somewhat similar, has recently
been exhibited in London, and vie suppose it is this an-
nouncement which has induced our fellow.citizens to com
plete their carriage on an invention which originated with
them several years ago,—Bristol Journal.
