EVENING EDITION

THE CHARTISTS AT SHEFFIELD.

THE CORN-LAWS AND ELEC-
TION MOVEMENTS.
(From the Leeds Times.)
" Down with the Corn-laws," is the cry that is now
resounding throughout the land. Down with the Corn-
laws—the deep heart of humanity, in which so long they
have rankled, like a barbed and poisoned arrow, pleads
for their fall. Down with the Corn-laws, and whoever

(FROM A COILRESPONDENT.)
The Chartists, not relishing the complete defeat which
they suffered at the large public meeting held in Para-
dise-square, on Thursday. week, issued placards on
Friday last for a meeting in the same place, on Whit-
Mofnday, to discuss the question, whether the repeal of
the Corn-laws, under the present circumstances, would
benefit the people, and whether they ought not to go for
Universal Suffrage. In their placard they described as•
" menials" the 8,000 who composed the former meeting,
and challenged the repealers to meet them. The Opera-
tive Anti-Corn-law Committee immediately resolved to
answer the challenge, and having. obtained the concur-
rence of a number of gentlemen in their views, issued
the following placard :
" NO MONOPOLY.
" ,Men of Sheffield,—Last week you made an emphatio
declaration against the monopolies which tax your food
and ruin your trade.
" You petitioned our young and lovely Queen to stand
by 'you against the monopolists, and she has heard your
prayer.
" You are now called upon by the treacherous men who
handed over the people of Nottingham to the monopo-
lists to let them play the same game with you.
" Men of Sheffield, muster in Paradise-square at half-
past ten o'clock on Monday morning and show the mono-
polists that neither by them nor their tools will you be
deluded.

supports them may the low, murmuring tale of misery
which has so long ascended before God—the curse of the
poor—the heaviest of all curses, though often long de-
layed—reach his heart—mingle, like the voice of an un-
welcome spirit, or the still more unwelcome reproaches
of a guilty conscience, with all his joy, making it no joy
to him. Down with the Corn-laws, and may he who
would uphold this monstrous iniquity be assailed with the
sighs, and groans, and tears, of the fond mother as she
beholds her child pining for that bread which the land-
lord, rather than permit it to taste, casts into the sea—
may he be haunted by this human misery, the extent of
which God only knows, till his heart relents, or, unre-
lenting—

Till he wish and pray that life may part,
And not find leave to die."
We yield to none in our hatred of the landlords' mono-
poly—to none in the sincerity with which we cry—Down
with the Corn-laws.

(From the Bristol Mercury.)
Never before, indeed, were the Liberals so hearty and
united in the cause of any one of their candidates—a
candidate whose abilities and sterling qualities have been
admitted even by his political opponents. Mr. Berkeley
has been tried and not found wanting. He has proved
himself a staunch Liberal, and, when again returned to
Parliament, will (with the single exception of a question
of time on the West India experiment) take his seat as
the firm and determined opponent of monopoly. He
will be one of the minority against the bread-tax in the
present Parliament, and one of the majority against it in
the House of Commons about to be elected by the
people. There is only one circumstance which can, in
the slightest degree, militate against the return of Mr.
Berkeley, and that is, blind and overweening confidence
on the part of the Liberal party.
(From the Leeds Times.)
KEIGHLEY.—.THE ELECTIONS. The electioneering
machinery is in full operation in Keighley. An active
canvass has commenced on both sides. The Whigs have
this advantage over their opponents,—they. know for
whom they are canvassing, whereas the Tories do not ;
they are asking for votes for the " Blues." W. Busfeild
Ferrand, Esq:, is their master spirit, and he is concen-
trating his gigantic talents, and the knowledge he ac-
quired among " Britain's gentry," into one focus,
namely, some placardism, and he blazes away at the
Whigs in a style which no man can equal. The Char-
tists are as yet very calm, but they are waiting until the
" star" twinkles on Saturday, not knowing until then
what they are to do in the great struggle. Mr. Ferrand
was astonishing the little boys on Wednesday night last,
by scrambling handsful of silver among them : he is very
popular with that party, but unfortunately they have
no votes. He addresses the Haworth electors on
Saturday.
CHOICE OF CANDIDATES.—On Tuesday evening last,
a numerous meeting of the Liberal electors of Leeds was
held in the Music Hall, for the purpose of choosing two
candidates to represent this important constituency in
Parliament, in the place of Edward Baines, Esq., and
Sir William Molesworth, both of whom have announced

" Attend and maintain your consistency, as honest and
thinking men ! Show your country—show your wives—
show your children—without compromising any right to
which you deem yourselves entitled, that you will have
food—that you will not be diverted from the mighty
contest in which you are sure to succeed against the
plundering and famine creating monopolies."
The Chartists answered this by another placard, de-
nouncing " the base and treacherous Whigs,' and giving
an enumeration of Whig measures, including prominently
Lord Stanley's Coercion Bill, and Twenty Millions grant
to the Slave-owners. In Sheffield, Whit-Monday is a
great Sunday School Jubilee, which engages the atten-
tion of several thousand Sunday-school teachers, and the
meeting was fixed for the unusual hour of half-past ten
in the forenoon. At the appointed time there was a small
dense mass in front of the steps which served as hust-
ings, and in the centre, or square. These turned out to
be the packed body of Chartists, and they kept their
ground in a ccopect body to the last, except that they
were pushed by the pressure of the great bulk of the
meeting, rather more to the right of the operatives. The
ground not occapied by the Chartists was at first rather
thitily covered ; but between eleven and twelve o'clock
the square appeared to be one dense mass of people.
There could not be fewer than 10,000 or 12,000, of
which the Chartists certainly did not constitute 1,000, on
the most liberal estimate. The Chartist speakers occu-
pied the steps, near which a. waggon was placed for the
liepealers. Business began by the Chartists proposing
a working man, named Parkes, as chairman. E. Bram-
ley, Esq., solicitor, proposed, and Mr. Harri-
sdli; an operative, seconded the nomination of
William Fisher, Esq. The result, on a show of hands,
was doubtful, many of the Chartists holding up both
hands. The Anti-Monopolists required that the motion
ghould be put again, and that both parties should hold up
both hands. After prolonged confusion this was done,
and there was a clear majority in favour of Mr. Fisher.

The Chartists, however, On the steps claimed a majori
for their man, who immediately commenced his speec
as Chairman, amid repeated shouts of " No Chairman --
from the Anti-Monopolists. The disturbance continued
for. a long time. Mr. Wm. Fisher, Sir A. S. Knight,
Mr. William Vickers; Mr. Bromley., and others,
attempted to speak, but the Chartists made
an uproar which rendered it impossible ; and,
on the other hand, the reiterated protests
of the anti monopolists against the unjust assump-
tion of the chdir by Parkes, rendered him, and Mr. Wil-
liam Gill, whom he called upon to move the first resolu-
tion, all but inaudible. At length there was a cessation,
of attempts to speak on both sides, and Mr. Fisher hav-
ing communicated to the Chartist leaders that he would
no longer protract the proceedings, but would leave the
meeting after publicly stating the reasons for his con-
duct, they silenced their party, and Mr. Fisher,
after stating that he thought his retirement would
enable the meeting to settle the matter in a
more satisfactory manner, withdrew. Parkes then
read the motion, which he said had been moved by
Gill. It declared that " the measure proposed by the
'Whigs was an insult to the suffering millions ; that the
conduct of the W higs proved them unworthy of confi-
dence ; and that although the Corn-law was unjust,
cruet, and oppressive, the present House of Commons
being inimical to the people's rights, would not repeal
the same except through an agitation bordering on revo-
lution."
Wes. lIIBOTSON, Esq., in an able speech, moved
the following amendment :—" That it is clearly
shown that the abolition of monopolies, especially
in corn and sugar, and a revision of the import
.duties generally, would greatly improve the cir-
cuaietan.ces of the people ; that without opposing the
extension of the franchise, or the advocacy of their
political claims, by any portion of our countrymen, we
are of opinion that the men who would weaken our
elibrts to abolish monopolies aro the abetters of the mo-
nopolists, and are not the-real friends of the extension of
political rights, and of the welfare and happiness of the
people."
.Mr.'nENSON, an operative, seconded the amendment,
but said he should reserve his remarks till he had heard
what was to be said in favour of the motion.
BAISTcw, the Chartist missionary, one of the
men who. played Mr. Walter's game at Notting-
ham'e sp.(ike great length in favour of theinotion,
motton, a the course of which he declared, that un-
less the -V rhigs would divide the boroughs with them
(the Chartists) they would go with the Tories. In the
course ei his speech many caustic remarks were made by
the peo on llainstow's connection with the Tories.
The Rev. R. S. BAYLEY next spoke in favour of the
amendi aent.
At Ws time (about two o'clock) the meeting was
consid irably reduced in numbers, many of the people,
wearh d out with the heat and the length of the pro-
ccecli having left. The Chartists, however, still
keet their ranks, and on the parties proceeding to put
the question,
:kir. BENSON claimed his right to speak. Parkes ob-
;.ected, and was supported by the vociferous clamours of
Lissparty. At length, however, he agreed to put it, to
the meeting, and there appeared in favour of Mr. Ben-
son's speaking a considerable number of hands, while
very few. were held
.up against it. Still, however, the
opposition was continued, and Parkes put the question
in the negative again, calling on his friends to show
both hands, on which they made a better exhibition.
Mr. E. Ewor then brielly spoke for tie amendment.
On its being put to the vote, there appeared in
its favour a great show of hands all over the east side
of the square, where about three-fourths of the
people were. In favour of the motion, there was
a seiall compact body, about the lamp-post, in the centre,
and extended to the west side, where the depth of the
meeting was very small. Apart from this body there did
not appear to be one hand for the motion, except among
the Chartist leaders on the steps. Parkes' however, at
kneed declared that the motion was carried by an over-
whelming majority. - Mr. Benson immediately rose, and
said the amendment was carried by two to one. The
Chartists' hooting upon this was answered by over-
eadteiming applause. Three cheers, hearty and en-
thusiastic, were given for the abolition of monopoly,
and this made a demonstration as conclusive of the
'feeling of the meeting as if a division had taken
,place ; for while the Chartist section stood compact and
silent, the whole expanse of the meeting on the east side
exhibited waving hats and hands. The Chirtists got
up some counter cheering, and the Anti-Monopolists im-
mediately left the meeting, which soon after terminated.
The result of the meeting shows that at Sheffield the
Chartists are a miserable minority among the people
when there is any great practical measure offered for the
r z.,Qple's acceptance : but yet they are a sufficient body,
where they have the advantage of packing and contriv-
Arnie, to offer a great impediment to the full expression
;of public opinion, and materially to weaken its effect.

their intention of retiring from the representation of the
borough at the forthcominn election. The saloon and
the gallery of the Music Hall were filled, so that we
should think there could not be less than 1,500 persons

present on the occasion. The meeting was perfectly
cordial and unanimous in the choice of Joseph Hume,
Esq., as one of the candidates, but a strong feeling was
exhibited by great numbers in the meeting against the
proposed Whig candidate, Wm. Aldam, jun., Esq. The
grounds for the dissatisfaction appeared to be principally
his oppositiori to the Ballot, his undecisively expressed
opinions on the Abolition of Church-rates and other
Church questions, and perhaps, above all, his advocacy
of a fixed duty on corn, and not an immediate and total
repeal of the Corn-laws. The proposition of Geo. Good-
man, Esq., as a bandidate, was enthusiastically received
by the meeting, and the cheering which followed the an-
nouncement of his name was almost deafening. How-
ever, he declined to become a candidate. All the lead-
ng and influential Liberals of the town were present in
ithe orchestra.

(From the Somerset County Gazette.)
The rumour that a peerage is about to be conferred
upon Mr. Sanford is, we believe, without foundation, and
we presume that this most excellent representative will
offer himself for re-election. Of Mr. Acla,nd's course it
would be difficult to venture a prediction. He has lately
changed his way of life ; his habits and turn of mind in-
cline him more to the study than to public business ; and
marriage, with its incidental expenses, may, very pro-
bably, determine him to withdraw from a post for which,
great as are his scholarly acquirements, he is by nature
and education peculiarly unfitted. We, therefore, deem
it very probable that Mr. Acland would decline a con-
test, in which case Mr. Sanford and Mr. Dickinson
would be returned without opposition, and such an ar-
rangement would be approved by both parties.
In East Somerset, we understand, there will be no
contest. Col. Gore Langton will again offer himself, and
again be returned on the Liberal side, and Mr. Miles, as
a moderate Conservative, and a capital man of business,
cannot and ought not to be disturbed.
In Bath, Mr. Roebuck has already made his appear-
ance on the Liberal side, and is,pursuing a zealous and
effective canvass. Both the present Members are To-
ries. Mr. Roebuck is, in many of his opinions, too Radi-
cal for us ; but where the Radicals are numerous, as in
Bath, we really think that the Whigs ought to support
him, on condition of his friends supporting a Whig
candidate. The division between the Whigs and Radi-
cals was the cause of the defeat of the Liberals here on
the last occasion. Let them be warned by the result
then, and avoid such an error now. Mr. Roebuck is a
man of surpassing talent.
In Taunton, the strife of parties has begun. Two
Tory candidates, staunch advocates of Monopoly and
supporters of the bread-tax, sugar-tax, and provision
taxes, have taken the field against the present Members.
Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Hall are the monopolist cham-
pions, and they do not mince matters. The taxers of
bread, and sugar, and food, will assuredly find them-
selves at the bottom of the polL
In Bridgewater, there has been no movement up to
this present writing (Thursday). But we hear that Mr.
pourtenay retires, and that a Liberal, probably Mr.
Charles Tynte, will supply his place. Should that
liberal and truly independent gentleman be prevailed
upon to offer himself, his election is secure, and that,
we believe, without any opposition.
In Wells, Mr. Hayter, the Liberal and able Member,
whose popularity is unbounded in the City, will be se-
cure of re-election. The other seat; now occupied by
Mr. Blakemore, a monopolist, will, we presume, be
contested, and we doubt not successfully, by. Mr. Lee
Lee, as the advocate of the humane and liberal prin-
ciples to advance which the Parliament is dissolved.
In Frome, the seat of Mr. Sheppard, the,once Liberal,
now Tory and monopolist Member, will be stoutly con-
tested.

(From the Tyne Pilot.)
The step taken by the Government is one of greater
consequence than any political movement of the present
century. It is a new principle introduced into our Le-
gislature, whose power must soon become paramount
there, and before whose lustre and purity every dark
monopoly must sooner or later disappear. Even amid
all the public distress which exists, we cannot help
feeling proud of our country at this juncture, and re-
joicing that her strength of character is such as to pass
with philosophic calmness and composure through moral
revolutions like that in which she is now engaged—a
moral revolution through which, perhaps, no free state
in the world could pass without bloodshed and anarchy.
The cry of the nation—" forwards,"—long unheeded in
high places, is at length responded to thence ; and now,
we firmly believe that nothing can long retard the tri-
umph of just and free principles in every department of
our national system.
(From the Bolton Free Press.)
The Reform electors of Bolton have done themselves
honour by the unanimity of their resolution to call on
Mr. Cobden to become a candidate for the representa-
tion of the borough. They invite him in the full con-
fidence that they will be able to place him at the head of
the poll, and no body of electors should, in a crisis like
this, dare to peril the return of such a nan upon a per-
adventure. For a manufacturing constituency to fail in
an attempt to return a leader of the Anti-Corn-law
movement to Parliament would prove a mortifying blow
to the free trade cause, which is the cause of national
prosperity, and even the most remote chance of such an
issue should be avoided.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR BOLTON OF
•rttg 7TH Da AGOONS.—Monday afternoon, at three o'clock,
a Jury was empane'led at the Burlington Arms, Old Burling-
ton-street, to inquire into the circumstances attending the
eleat'n of Major John Bolton, aged 34, late of her Majesty's 7th
Dragoons. Edward Fitzjohn, waiter at the Burlington Hotel,
had known the deceased upwards of 14 years by lodging oc-
tasionally at hiS master's house. The last time he saw him
alive was on Friday last, about six o'clock in the evening,
when he riled and wished to have a room. There being

found him lying in bed a corpse. Sarah Pindar, housemaid at

abut 11 o'clock. He was perfectly sober, and appeared in
excellent health end spirits. About 10 o'clock the following
triorning (Saturday), finding the deceased's room door open,
she went in as*, as the wash-stands but seeing that the water,
tug had not been moved, she left it, not wishing to disturb him.

Abent sax o'clock, the waiter said he would go up and wake
him, as he bad lain loog enough. She accompanied the waiter
up stairs for the third time, and on their opening the shutters
the deceased was found to be quits dead, with the sheet firmly
grasped in both hands. She searched the room, but could find
noshing to indicate that the deceased bad taken poison. Mr.
Miles Marley, surgeon, was called in to see the deceased about
sir o'clock on Saturday evening. He found him quite dead,
and not the least doubt but that he had been so above twelve
hours. He mould detect no poison of any kind, his death being
caused by a ft:Jaen of blood in the head, which, pressing on
the brain, produced apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visita-
tion of God."
We regret to announce the decease of the Right
Hen. Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart., which took place on
'Monday afternoon at simbrook Park. Sir Robert had been
for some time in a very precarious state of health, but his
medical attendants had not anticipated so early a termination
of his illness. When actively engaged in publ'c life, Sir
Robert's chief endeavours were directed to relieve the dis-
tresses of the labouring classes by means of emigration ;
indeed, he was the first person who called *lie attention to
the happy effects that might be produced throughout the
overpopulated parts of the empire by enabling the poor to seek
in our colonies that market for their industry, which could
no longer be provided at home. It is impossible to withhold
our admiration of the benevolent motives which prompted him
tAs,those exertions; indeed, nothing but a most generous sym-
xathy for the distresses of the industrious poor could have sup-
orted him through the difficulties he then had to encounter.
Sir Robert's name will long be remembered in the colony of
Ceylon (the government of which he administered for the Pe-
rred of six years), as the reformer of numerous abuses, and
the Patron of every improvement which seemed adapted to the
wants of the colony. A wide circle of private friends, by
whom his social qualities were lone. esteemed will deeply la-
ment his loos ; indeed if cur partiality' does not induce us to
exagr:era.te the merits of the departed, we sincerely believe
that, apart from his highietr and more valuable qualities, few
men have been more t. zed as a companion, or will be more
Duetted as a itiend..—

The Tories are rabid ; they are all but dangerous to
approach. They have, however, changed the obnoxious
term of " Tory," for the still more detestable soubri-
quet of " Monopolist." This appellation conveys a
more correct idea of the true spirit of their party' : their
principle has ever been to benefit the few at the expense
of the many— to starve, to beggar the middle and
lower classes for their own aggrandisment. Our
whole system of taxation proves this fact. These
monopolists have held the reins of Government long
enough to enact laws for the protection of their
own interests, however unequally and unjustly they
may bear upon the other classes of the community, and
any attempt to bring about a more healthy and rational
mode of legislation, naturally alarms their hateful pre-
judices, and awakens their tyrannous spirit of domina-
tion. They now grasp, as in the agonies of death,
their daring monopolies of corn, sugar and timber,
knowing that if the admirable propositions of the Go-
vernment should become the law of the land, they
must lead to a thorough revision of our entire tariff.
The people have no real sympathy with the Tories :
those of the middle and lower classes who swell the
ranks of those grinding monopolists are enlisted either
under the banner of intimidation or corruption.
(From the Falmouth Packet.)
Let us direct attention to one most awful and startling
effect, arising from the operation of the Corn-laws—
namely, the disastrous influence of those laws upon the
health of thousands—nay, millions of our fellow-crea-
tures. It is known that scarcity of food is the fruitful
cause of disease and death. Any regulation, therefore,
tending to limit the supply of food, is a deadly attack
upon human life. The burdens of the poor have become
too heavy to be borne, and that individual cannot have
the heart of a man who can quietly look on and not at-
tempt to alleviate their sufferings and sorrows. Among
the facts published by the Metropolitan Anti-Corn•law
Association, we find tales of men receiving less than
five shillings per week, and of fathers robbing the hog's
trough to satisfy their own and their children's cravings.
Nay, we can ourselves name a town in the west of Eng-
land where children may he constantly seen raking sca-
venger's heaps for potato skins, to appease their hunger
Is this a question that can be any longer trifled with ?

(From the Monmouth edin.)

Immediately on its appearing from the declaration of
Nlinisters that they had determined by dissolving Par-
liament to appeal to the country, Mr, Blewitt resolved

on presenting himself to his constituents to render an
account of his stewardship, and to solicit again the ho-
nour of their suffrages in his favour at the approaching
election. Having supported Ministers in their recent
endeavours to support monopoly, and aided them in
their efforts to effect reforms, the Hon. Member availed
himself of the earliest moment after the late important
divisions, to return to Newport, where he arrived on
Sunday last. On the following morning, the Hon. Gen-
tleman, accompanied by some of his most influential sup-
porteis—the steady and consistent friends of Reform in
Newport—commenced an active canvass. All canvasses
are said by those who make them, to be successful, and
the vox populi is assumed to be on their sides but we
can, with entire confidence and perfect sincerity state,
that we never witnessed a more triumphant proof of the
popular satisfacton resulting from the honest discharge
of Parliamentary duties by a representative, on again
appealing to his constituents, than was evinced by the
electors of Newport upon this occasion.
(From the Carnarvon Herald.)
LORD GEORGE PAGET. —ln an Address to the
Electors of Carnarvonshire Boroughs, this noble scion
of the illustrious House of Plasnewydd, determined to
retrieve the errors and failures of the Liberal party in
former contests, has come forward " at the earliest op-
portunity," and declares his " intentions " with that
promptitude and frankness which are alike due to the
electors and himself. _

(From the Kelso Chronicle.)
Considerable anxiety prevails here that a demonstra-
tion in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws should take
place ; and as far as the working-classes are concerned,
we know that numbers of them are most anxious that
such should be the case. We hope immediate steps will
be taken accordingly, confident that no intelligent mem-
ber of the community will offer any opposition. Should
any individuals foolishly do so, we are certain that the
numbers favourable to a repeal of the bread-tax would
be so overpowering as to overrule all the tyranny of
faction which could be displayed.
(From the Southern Reporter.)
We are most happy to be enabled to announce that
Kinsale will be certainly relieved from the odium and
injustice of being misrepresented by Colonel Thomas.
We are informed that this patriotic constituency has been
canvassed within the last few days on behalf of a gentle-
man of high respectability, and of principles ensuring
not only his general support to the present Administra-
tion, but his close attention to the interests of Ireland.
However Kinsale may have been maligned, we do not
believe that all the gold of the. Carlton Club would, at
the present crisis, influence the votes of six of the const.
tuency.

We have reason to think that some persons have been
endeavouring to put a report in circulation that Mr.
Maurice O'Connell is about to resign the representation
of the borough of Tralee, and by this stratagem secure a
few votes to a Tory candidate, if such were to be found
to have the hardihood to offer himself. Fortunately we
have it in our power to defeat the ruse, as we are autho-
rised to contradict the report, and to announce that Mr.
M. O'Connell has not the slightest notion of severing at
the next election, by the resignation of his seat, the bond
that has so happily connected him with the honest and
independent constituency of Tralee.

TRURO, SATURDAY.—After a number of attempts on
the part of the Tories to get Sir Richard Rawlinson
Vyvyan to come forward to contest the representation
of the eastern division of the county, the Tories gave up
their hopes of inducing that gentleman to come out, he
having been a very great sufferer, both in this county
and at Bristol on former occasions ; and they have now
induced William Rashleigh, Esq., a young man, the son
of William Rashleigh, of Menabilly, and nephew of Sir
Colman Rashleigh, to come forward against Sir Hussey
Vivian. There is sure, therefore, to be a contest in the
East.

In the West the Tories are slyly moving for Lord
Boscawen, the son of Lord Falmouth, who is not much
liked by any party. If the unpopularity of the father
can do any harm to a cause, Lord Boscawen will be a
considerable sufferer by it. The Reformers are very
sanguine of the success of Sir Charles Lemon and Mr,
Pendarves, if they should unite, but if they should
hang aloof, it is possible that Boscawen may slip in.
Lady Basset has shown the necessity of the Ballot by
ordering all her tenantry to vote for the Tory candidate,
whether they like it or not, and there is no doubt that
the Tory landlords will do their utmost to coerce all
who are in the slightest degree dependent upon them.
It is now currently reported that the Conservatives are
trying to get Sir R. R. Vyvyan to stand with Boscawen,
but as there is no good feeling existing between him
and Lord Falmouth, it is very doubtful whether his
proposition will be attended with success.

REPRESENTATION OF KERRY.—lreland carried the Eman-
cipation Act ; the Irish Members carried the Reform Bill, and
"this country will again do good service in the cause of public
freedom. There was, a little time since, a good deal of de-
spondency as to ;he probable results of a general election in
England, and it was taken as undeniable that several seats
would be lost in Ireland. As for England there need be no
apprehension any longer ; the gain to Ministers will be beyond
the highest expectations, and in Ireland, in place of losing, we
shall gain largely. In our last we had the pleasure of an-
nouncing that the electors of Kinsale had resolved to be no
longer disgraced by a Tory Representative, and we are now
enabled to state that a few days will terminate Mr. Blenner-
hassstt's connection with Kerry. We are authorized to state
that the Hon. William Browne, brother of the Earl of Ken-
mare, intends to offer himself for the representation of Kerry at
the approaching election. This is in every way most gratify-
ing. f he active accession of the Earl of Kenmore to the po-
pular interest at this moment is of great importance, and as to
the Hon. Mr. Browne himself, we believe that a better or more
honest patriot never entered the House of Commons.
(From the Ipswich Express.)
REPRESENTATION OF Irswicx.—We have just heard that
Mr. Montague Gore, one of the Tory nominees for the repro.
sentation of this borough, has very honestly declined to
" stand." It cannot be said that he has withdrawn his pre-
tensions, beeanse the only pretension required of him was a
well-filled purse, and that the Tories themselves have found
out, and candidly admit he was not encumbered with. Pro-
bably, when he was solicited to bid for their votes, the extent
of the " liability" was not accurately represented to him ;
however that may be, it is very certain that his eyes have been
opeoed by what Mr. Grattan said in the House of Commons
on Friday night, in reference to our exposure of the affair of
Sir Thomas Cochrane ; and not feeling disposed to require a
" guarantee," which ke very naturally inferred would be dis-
honoured, he has very prudently declined to embarrass him-
self. This retirement of Mr. Gore, coupled with the notori-
ously shameful treatment of Sir Thomas, places the Tories in
a very awkward predicament to find another candidate, for it is
a matter of question whether any man, however desirous of
sitting in Parliament for Ipswich, would come forward with his
eyes open to the certainty of being " fleeced."

Lord Dungannon and Mr. Harland have both intimated their
intention of retiring from the representation of the City of
Durham in Parliament. A Mr. Sheppard, and a Captain
Fitzroy, both decided Tories, and Mr. 'l. C. Granger, a bar-
rister, of Radical principles, offered themselves as candi-
dates. Mr. Granger has before contested Durham, and we hope
will this time be successful. We should be glad to see two
Liberals returned for this city, but we rather wish than ex-
pect it.

(From the Aberdeen Herald.)

REPILESRNTATION OF ABERDEEN.—An idle story was re-
cently put into circulation, and even printed, to the effect that
our worthy City Member, iu consequence of being appointed
to a situation in connexion with the revenue department, was
about to retire from the House of Commons, and that his
constituents, of course, would have to seek out a new Repre-
sentative. So satisfied were some of our quidnuncs of the
truth of the statement, that they would not listen patiently to
any one who ventured to hold a different opinion. It turns
out, however, that the rumour was either utterly groundless,
or ridiculously premature. There is no vacancy in the depart-
ment referred to, and it is not at all likely, even if the Whigs
were willing to make a new place for Mr. Bannerman, that the
Tories, in the present state of parties, would allow them to
do so.

Should Mr. Bannerman have any intention of retiring from
the representation of the City, he will, no doubt, give his
friends due notice. They will, at least, know the fact as soon
as the Tories, which would not have been the ase, if this last
rumour had turned out to be correct.

The Tories, it is said, are making preparations for a contest.
They may save themselves the trouble, and their candidate
the expense. If Mr. Bannerman come forward, and take care
not to inveigle himself with any fanatical party, he is sure to
be elected; and should he not come forward, the Liberals will
start a gentleman who will unite the suffrages of all honest
Reformers.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1841.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—If the Tories cannot contrive to get up Pro-
Corn-law meetings, they can at least garble the reports
of the meetings which take place, and which they
intended should have been Pro-Corn-law meetings. They
can disfigure the offspring of Liberalism, " like gypsies—
to make it pass for their own." We extract the follow-
ing specimen from last night's Standard :
" THE CORN-LAW MOVEMENT.—The counties of Ros-
common and Galway have met for the purpose of record-
ing their protest against the ministerial fixed duty
scheme. The Galway meeting was presided over by the
Roman Catholic High Sheriff of the county, and his con-
duct throughout is described as being above all praise."
This paragraph is intended to convey to the Stan-
dard's readers, that meetings protesting against " the
Ministerial fixed duty scheme," having actually been
held in the above two counties ; and that even a Roman
Catholic High Sheriff has headed the " Protestants."
This would have been a godsend to the Stan-
dard's party, if it had taken place ; and the mere
fact that it did not, is not permitted to deprive
them of its benefit. What are we to think
of the state of a party whose pious organs (doubt-
less with great violence to their well-known con-
scientious veracity) are capable of publishing the above
quoted paragraph respecting meetings, at one of which
(the Galway meeting) the following resolutions were
carried by a vast majority
" That we consider the present fluctuating scale of
duties on foreign grain objectionable, as it has been
found, by experience, to cause great uncertainty of
prices, and to enable mischievous speculators and mono-
polists to enjoy the profits which should belong to the
producer ; and that we therefore approve of the principle
of a fixed protective duty, now proposed by her Majes-
ty's Government, without pledging ourselves to the
amount of duty suggested as an adequate protection.
" That we feel bound to express, not only our confi-
dence in the general policy, of the Government, but also,
in an especial manner, our gratitude for the many bene-
fits conferred by their system of administration in this
country."
At the Roscommon meeting a resolution was carried for
embodying the sense of the meeting in the form of a pe-
tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the
Ministerial proposition in regard to corn, which was signed
by the High Sheriff' on the part of the meeting. The
indignant reader will naturally ask what possible pretext
the Tory organ could have for falsifying the report of
two county meetings. The Duke of Wellington's
old opinion that county meetings are a farce will scarce
justify it. That Tory veracity is a farce is a conclusion
which many may come to, when they find a journal
which piques itself on high sanctity practising such low
artifice.
STANDARD.—The pressure of political affairs upon
our attention, and the difficulty in the present excited
state of the public mind, of drawing attention to any but
the one absorbing topic, have hitherto prevented us from
noticing, with the reprobation it deserves, the whole-
sale murder of no fewer than sixteen British subjects by
a portion of the crow of the American emigrant ship
William Brown. A case of more frightful atrocity has
rarely, if ever, come to our knowledge. From the
details which have already been published in our
columns, it appears that the above-named 'vessel,
freighted with British emigrants, and bound from
Liverpool to Philadelphia, encountered an iceberg on
the 19th of April last, in 43 degrees 39 minutes
latitude N., and 49 degrees 39 minutes longitude W.,
from the effects of her collision with which she sank two
hours afterwards. Before she went down, the captain,
mate, a lady, and five sailors, had contived to get
afloat in the jolly-boat ; and the second mate,
eight of the crew, and thirty-three of the pas-
sengers had embarked in the long-boat. Three-
and-twenty souls perished with the ship. The fate of
the selfish and dastardly captain, who would only re-
ceive as many hands into the jolly-boat as were neces-
sary to man her, is not known. He bore off for New-
foundland, and is supposed to have perished with all
on board.' The long-boat still remained ; but the
ruffians who had the management of her, finding
that she made her way very slowly through the
water, "consulted together," and came to the resolu-
tion of murdering no fewer than sixteen of their
passengers for the purpose of relieving her; so that, as
the leading miscreant coolly says, "on counting our
"passengers sixteen were found missing," that number,
chiefly helpless women and children, having been thrown
overboard ! These diabolical wretches have since at-
tempted to justify their conduct by affirming that most of
the passengers were nearly dead from cold and exhaus-
tion ; but if such had been the case, it would only
have aggravated their crime. One little child, we are
told, begged of its murderers to be permitted to say his
prayers before he was consigned to the deep, but
was savagely refused, and was one of their earliest
victims. The survivors, consisting of a few Women
and the assassins, were relieved the next morning by
the Crescent packet-ship, from Havre de Grace ; to
which port they were subsequently convoyed. In-
stead, however, of detaining these villains, to
take their trial for murder, the American and Eng-
lish Consuls, after having examined them privately,
are said to have discharged them without even a re-
primand. The name of the English Consul is Gordon ;
that of the American Beasley. Nay, so tender-hearted
were these philanthropic gentlemen towards these
merciless miscreants, that they actually sent them
away with written certificates that they had
not been guilty of any act " deserving of censure." We
have not words at our command wherewith to charac-
terise such conduct.

LAW INTELLIGENCE

SHERIFFS' COURT, June 1.
CHARLTON V. ASHTON.

This was an action to recover the sum of 140/. from
the defendant, he having made himself liable under the
following circumstances :
It appeared from the statement of Counsel that the
plaintiff is a stationer and bookseller in the Haymarket,
and that the defendant is also a stationer residing in
Piccadilly. In October 1839 the defendant, who was then
carrying on his business of bookseller and stationer in
Piccadilly, sold his. business to the plaintiff, and
made an assignment to that effect to the plain-
tiff. In that assignment the defendant undertook that,
in case he recommenced business within the limits of
the twopenny post, he would make himself liable to the
plaintiff in the sum of 1401. Since that time the defen-
dant had recommenced business in Piccadilly, and the
present action was instituted to recover the sum named
in the declaration. _

The action was undefended, and a verdict passed for
the plaintiff for the whole amount.
DARRINGTON V. DANIELS.

This was an action to recover the sum of 131. 12s. Id.
on a bill of exchange, the defendant being one of the
parties endorsing the bill.
The defendant put three pleas on the record-Ist, that
he was not the endorser ; 2d, that he had no notice of
the dishonour of the bill by the acceptor ; and, 3d, that
time had been given to the acceptor without the consent
of the defendant. _ _ _

None of these pleas were supported in evidence, and a
verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the full amount.
Bennett and Buckley, Pigeon and Marriott, Barring-
ton and Daniels.—These were all undefended actions,
and verdicts were severally taken for the plaintiffs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A great number of persons appeared in the Justice-
room, yesterday, to witness the examination of several
men, whom some described 'as Irish Repealers, others
as Teetotalers, and others as a mixture of both, charged
with having committed desperate assaults in the City.
.The bustle and confusion was so great, that it was ex-
tremely difficult to ascertain for some time what it was
all about ; but very much interest was attached to the
matter, in consequence of the fact that Mr. O'Connell
was on the spot while some of the outrages were perpe-
trated. Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, was
present during the examination.
Mr. Daniel O'Connell had, on the morning of Monday,
been amongst the teetotalers, who enjoyed a sort of com-
memoration on that day, and took his leave of them in
the City, after which he proceeded through Grace-
church-street in a barouche-and-four towards London-
bridge, for the purpose of joining a multitude of re-
pealers at Bridge Tavern. As the vehicle went along
an obstruction was caused, and the City police having
interfered to set all right, several of the Irish
teetotallers, or repealers, or both, some of whom
had sticks, and others had staffs, began to lay
about them, and a good deal of mischief was
done. The city police, however, having taken into cus-
tody a few of those whom they considered to be the ring- '
leaders, a stop was put to the row, and the affair was
brought before Alderman Pirie.
The first person charged at the bar was Patrick
Connor.
A Mr.' Courthorpe, of the Globe public-house, Dept-
ford, stated that between one and two o'clock on Mon-
day, as he was going towards London-bridge, on his way
home, he saw a great mob of people walking in proces-
sion. Two men who seemed to be enjoying the scene,
said to him, " Will you have a pipe ;" to which he re-
plied that " Perhaps a little brandy would suit him bet-
ser." He had no sooner said the word, than he received
a blow upon the head with a staff with a cross upon it
from the prisoner, who was one of the party of tee-
totallers, or whatever they were.
Inspector Brake said there was no pretence for saying
those who were going towards the bridge were teeto-
tallers. They were principally Irish, and more than half
of them were drunk.
George Ritchie, of No. 67, Gracechurch-street, stated
that he heard, but did not see the blow, which was a
desperate one, given.
Giles Winch, an omnibus conductor, stated that he
was close to Mr. Courthorpe, and saw him struck with a
staff with a cross upon it by the prisoner, when he said
something about a glass of brandy.
Policeman No. 542 stated that he was on duty in
Gracechurch-street, and saw a mob, and amongst them
Mr. Courthorpe, with the blood streaming from his
head. The wounded man pointed out the prisoner as
his assailant. Witness seized the prisoner, whom the
mob endeavoured to rescue, and who had in his hand a
staff, which was lost in the affray.
Conner said that he never struck a blow. Mr. Court-
horpe spoke to somebody about a drop of brandy, and
immediately received a blow, but from whose hand he
could not tell. All he knew was that the blow was given
by somebody that wasn't himself, and he could prove his
innocence.
Alderman PIRIE—Who, and what are you ?—I am an
Irishman, and a farmer's labourer.
The next person put to the bar was a man named
. John Mayne.
A young man, named Henry Homewood, servar.t to
Mr. Myers, of St.- Peter's-alley, Cornhill, said that at
half-past three o'clock (the procession was then on its
return from the Bridge Hotel) he went out on an errand
to Graeechurch-street, and saw some of the mob en-
