the meeting, meeting, and there appeared' in fa'.our of Mr. ii'-'-'"'-'7l- i- 7:7 •
son's speaking a considerable number of hands, 414 —„ ,
very few were held up against it. Still, however,' tht" 1-.1 smi
opposition was continued, and Parkes pit the question
in the negative again, calling on his friends to sh6w
both hands, on which they made a better ' exhibition.
Mr. E. ELLIOT then briefly spoke for the arnencl-nent.
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 small 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 anion
the Chartist leaders on the steps. Parkes, however, at
once 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-
whelming applause. Three cheers, hearty and en- •
thusiastie, 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 Chartists 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
people's acceptance : but yet they are a sufficient body,
where they have the advantage of packing and contriv-
ance, to offer a great impediment to the full expresSion
of public opinion, and materially to weaken its effect.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

At the sitting on Saturday while some discussion was going
on, the Moderator interrupted the speaker, and said he had
received that instant a communication which, he thought,' it
was his duty to lose no time in laying before the House. He
then read the following letter :
" Edinburgh, May 29, 1841, Quarter past Seven,
" Reverend Sir,-1 beg leave to inform you that there is in
attendance a messenger-at•arms, to serve upon von, as 'Mode -•
rator, and on the clerks, procurator, and agent of the Church,
an interdict, issued this morning by the Lord Ordinary nn the
bill., against you and all others, from carrying into effect a
sentence of teposition against Mr. Cruickshank, and other
ministers of Strathbogie. As it is necessary that this should
be done while the Assembly is sitting, and, as I am informed,
orders have been given not to admit even public officers in the
d scharge of their duty, I have to request that you will give
me immediate notice whether the doors of the Assembly are to
be closed against a messenger-at-arms, having a warrant flows
the Supreme Court to execute.
" I suggested to the procurator and agent for the Church
this morning, that it might be most decorous that tke neces-
sary intimation be made in the vestrT, which, being within the
precincts of the Assembly-house, nil answer the purpose quite
well, and avoid any delicate questions.
" Whatever answer is to be giCen, I request that it may be
in writing, either from yourself or the clerks of Assembly.
" I have the honour to be, Reverend Sir.
• " ALEX. PETERKIN,
" Agent for the Strathbogie Ministers.
" The Rev. Dr. Gordon, Moderator of Assembly.

,
As the High Commissioner was not present, and the Assem-
bly did not seem prepared to give any answer in his absence,
a messenger was despatched to inform his Grace that an inter-
dict had been served on the Moderator and all others, from
carrying into effect the resolution of the Assembly. The
Commissioner speedily arrived, and a long, irregular, and
unseemly discussion ensued, of which the following, giving the
result of the proceedings, is a fair specimen.
The Moderator said, the officer of the House had informed
him verbally that Mr. Peterkin was at the door, and wished to
know if he would be admitted.—(Cries of " Admit, admit")
Mr. Peterkin then entered and advanced towards the Clerk's
table, apparently with a view to make a communication to the
Moderator, when he was met by loud cries of " With& aw*,
withdraw."

Mr. Dunlop asked what he wanted ? Mr. Peterkin's answer
was inaudible; when Mr. Dunlop turned round and exclaimed',
" This is the way we are treated—we remove all obstruction t•
Mr. Peterkin's access, and he immediately comet up to the
table." This was followed by loud cries of "Withdraw," and
Mr. Peterkin ret;red accordingly to a more removed part of
the House.

An animated diecusssion then took place on the question
whether they should bring in the papers or proceed to the
business. They were about to take a vote on the question,
when Mr. Gray, of Perth, reminded them that it was drawing
near the Sabbath (it was now past eleven o'clock), and that,
even if they refused to receive the papers then, there was no
doubt they could be served over again on Monday.
It was then agreed to bring in the papers. and they were
brought in by the agent, and laid on the table, the officers
stating that these were the papers left at the door by a Queen's
messenger.
Ni. Hope wished to know if the House now received these
documents as properly served.
Mr. Dunlop said that question would never be answered by
the House. f hat was for the Judges of the land to determine,
not the House.
Here the discussion terminated.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
THE DERBY AND OAKS.

The settling for these events took place yesterday at Tatter-
sall's, where every accommodation was made that could facili-
tate business. As is invariably the case when favourites win,
it was very heavy, and, we regret to add, not less heavy than
unsatisfactory. One large account was' altogether unsettled,
and thus crippling others, who were themselveshit hard, put it
out of their power to meet their engagements in full, so that
several parties who, on paper, were good winners by the race,
reft the yard considerably out of pocket by the settling ! It
would only weaken the chance of a future adjustment of the
balances to speak more pointedly. In fairness, therefore, to
winners as well as losers, we shall for the present refrain from
any further notice of the matter.

PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.—The town of
Ham was thrown into consternation on Friday by the
unexpected arrival of cavalry and artillery, which h.ad
made forced marches to repel, as it was rumoured, e
projected attack on the citadel of 11am, for the delivery
of Prince Louis Napoleon.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—:Monday night; between
the hours of ei g,ht and nine, as Mr. Penny, publisher of the Weekly
Chronicle newspaper, was rowing with friends up the river
Thames in a small boat, and when near a tier of barges at
Vauxhall Bridge on the upper side, the tide, which was running
up very strong at the time, drove the boat's head under the
barge with such violence, that Mr. Penny and his friei ds were
thrown into the water. Every a,siatanee was rendered by the
more fortunate portion of the party, motto, seeing Mr. Penny
fur a m;rtute or two struggling against the strength of the cur-
rent, imagined that he would have kteen able to have extri-
cated himself; but unfortunately, in a" few moments afterwards
he disappeared under the barge road. 'Dregs were procured,
and every.eudeavour was made to recover the body, but up to
' this morning his clistressed companions ha 4 not succeeded...
