DIVISION ON THE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL
ON WEDNESDAY.—Ou the second division on the Roma i
Catholic Relief Bill, Mr. Newdegate voted with the
" Ayes," and not with the " Noes," as stated in the lists
published.
CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE.--Yesterday a special ge-
neral meeting of the proprietors of Charing-cross
Bridge was held at the company's office, for the pur-
posew of receiving and eonsidering the report of a com-
mittee appointed at a general meeting held on the 29th
of February last; Mr. Hawes, the deputy chairman,
presided. The clerk of the company read the
hraepffir be
formed of five persons to sco and arrange reports.,
which were adopted. Mr. G. Brown rose to propose a
resolution to the following effect:—" That in come_

elesUultniaropfolsoi companyt,ioooriat,hissaidtobo mixed up

The chairman said that he could not receive that reso-
lution, as it had nothing to do with the reports. The
meeting was called solely to receive and consider the
reports. Mr. Elkins said that if their chairman re-
fused to put the resolution, they could order him to
leave the chair, and if ho refused to go, they could
turn him out and elect another in his stead.—(Loud
cries of " Order, order," and groat confusion.) After a
noisy discussion of nearly three hours' duration, Mr.
Brown proposed a resolution to the effect that the re-
tirement of Mr. Hawes, the deputy chairman, would tend
to the future prosperity of the company's affairs.
The
Chairman said that when the next half-yearly meeting
took place, ho should present himself before the share-
holders, and unless they distinctly assured hire that they
were satisfied with his conduct, no longer would he allow
himself to be their deputy-chairman. He refused to en-
tertain the resolutions, and declared the meeting at an
end. After the chair was vacated, Dr. Moore Was called
upon to preside, and the two resolutions were duly car-
ried by about forteen parties who remained behind.
" HOLY THURSDAT• 9—Yesterday, in accordance
with ancient usage, the boys belonging to the several
parish schools assembled, and, marshalled by the various
local authorities, proceeded to " beat the bounds" of their
respective districts, in order, it is said, to preserve a
knowledge of their limits. The scene at the nolls-crar-
den, Chancery-lane, was particularly animating, several
baskets of bread being distributed among the crowd,
from which act the place derived its name. We under-
stood it was formerly the practice to whi-
p one of the
boys on arriving at the
,boundaries, " tempera mutantur
et nos mutantur In itlis."

Commander, August, 1794; Captain, October, 1794;
Rear-Admiral, 1819; Vice-Admiral, 1821; and Ad-
miral, 1837. In the New Navy List 113 is stated to have

October, 1797; and assisted at the destruction of the
French frigate Prenieuse, off the Isle of France, in
1799. The Gallant Admiral married, firstly, Anne,
daughter of Sir Edward Jeynes, Knt., and secondly, in
1835, the widow of Roger Pettiward, Esq. Of his sur-
viving family, one son, Lieutenant John William, be-
longs to the navy. The deceased, we believe, was about
76 years of age.
Sir William Hotham was fifth in seniority on the flag'.

Sir William Hotham was the possessor of an honorary
gold medal for the Campfrdown action ; was created a
G.C.B. in 1840, and was in the receipt of an Admiral's
good service pension, which now reverts to the Ad-
miralty, as also a captain's good service pension, from
the promotion of Commodore Sharpe.
Two other naval officers have died during the past
week, viz., Captain Charles Conrad Grey, aged 31, pro-
moted from the command of the Columbine, 16, and
recently returned from the East Indies, son of the late
Colonel Grey; and Commander Edward Potts (1830),
the fifth out of six sons of the late John Potts, Esq ,
who have died either in the naval or military service.
Commander Henry D. Chads, it is said, will receive
his promotion on paying off the Styx steam-sloop, at
Woolwich, for his services in capturing so many slavers
on the coast of Africa.

The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, Knight,
bent sails yesterday morning, and shortly afterwards
crossed topgallant and royal yards. At 10h. 40m. A.M.,
she got under canvass and sailed majestically out of the
harbour under her double-reefed topsails, foresail, and
jib. 'rho tide of flood being rather strong, sho set top-
gallant sails soon after passing the Platform, but took
them in again after rounding the Spit buoy, the wind
freshening she made one tack under the island
shore, which brought her, there being a stroll!,
weather tide, to the westernmost part of Spithead,
when she bore up. and having run along the line, dropped
her anchor as the easternmost ship. She was attended,
as a measure of precaution only, by the Echo steam-tug.
She is going to the Mediterranean, and has taken in a
large quantity of stores for the use of the squadron and
tl.e supply of Malta Dockyard. Among other items she
has five tons of paint and 400 gallons of linseed oil. She
is to be paid wages up to six months prior to sailing,
having been more than thirteen months in commission.
Five minutes after the Howe started from her moorings,
the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Richard L. Baynes, C. 8.,
which had been held iu like a greyhound in the slips for
some time to give the Howe the start, lowed sails and
followed her example, so that the good people of Ports-
mouth beheld a spectacle not often seen, of two ships of
the line sailing out of the harbour at the same time.
She worked farther to the westward than the Howe, and
ultimately anchored as the westernmost ship. The Light-
ning steam-vessel attended her out.

The Rolla, exercise brig, went to Spithead also to-day,
where she remains at anchor.
Wind N.N.W., fresh breezes and hazy, with rain.
MALTA, MAY 26.—The India mails, per Ariel, ar-
rived this morning.

Last night her Majesty's steamer Flamer loft port, for
England, touching at Algiers.
Yesterday her Majesty's criminal judges and a jury
condemned Michael Malony, the private of her Majes-
ty's 69th Foot who shot at and wounded a Maltese
calash driver on the 24th of April last, to ten years' im-
prisonment, with a chain. The second count (charging
him with committing the act maliciously) not being
proved unanimously, saved the man from imprisonment
for life, it not from the gallows.
To-day, in honour of the birthday of our most Gra-
cious Sovereign, the customary honours were paid, and
salutes fired at noon from the forts and ships. The sol-
diers fired a feu de joie. The General and Vice-Admiral
gave large dinners, and the Governor a ball in the even-
ing. There was no levee, as is customary.
A slight disturbance occurred on Monday night be-
tween some soldiers of the 44th and the people. It ended
in a few broken heads, and is not worth mentioning but
for the purpose of preventing garbled reports gaining
credit in part of the London press; there are men here
who at all risks will make a serious matter of nothing—a
mountain of a molehill.

His Highness, the Pope's Nuncio to the Sublime
Porte, the Archbishop Ferrieri, has arrived in Malta by
the French steam-packet Rhamses, and will go to Rome
by the first opportunity, after finishing his quarantine.
General Tombs is here, suffering severely from
bronchitis. Although he has purked his quarantine his
medical man will not allow him, to leave the Lazaretto till
his condition better enable s him to;bear the eaange.
A French frigate a vepeai, tl'; Pluton, arrived here
yesterday, from Naples, with important dispatches for
the Governor and Admiral. Martial law has been pro-
claimed at Naples. The Lazzaroni have insulted several
of the English, and gone so far, it is reported hero, as to
attack the British Embassy.
It is reported hero that the Republican Neapolitans
have demanded the aid ofEngland against the King. This
cannot be granted without orders from home. The Ad-
miral will not sanction the meeting of the English and
French fleets if he can avoid it. Four Deputies of the
Chamber and four officers of the Civic Guard arrived
here by the steamer.

ARMY.O
THE 9TEI REGIME THE
RESTORATIN OF TIIE BAND.
—About a month back, in consequence of some alleged
misconduct of two or three individuals composing a part
of the band of this regiment, while at Cowes, and in at-
tendance on the Court, by an order from the Horse
Guards the band was reduced, and the men turned to the
ranks. We are most happy to state that an order arrived
from headquarters yesterday that the band should be
restored, and the pleasing intelligence was conveyed by
Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence to Major
Thomas, the officer in command, this morning, when the
band again appeared at the head of the regiment, on the
occasion of its being officially inspected, in heavy march-
ing order, in the governor's field near the Grand Parade
by Lord F. Fitzclarence. The restoration of the band
to this remarkably fine and loyal regiment is no more
than an act of justice; but it has afforded much satisfac-
tion to the officers and men, who could in no manner or
way be implicated in the misconduct of two or three
drunken and excited men.
The Blenheim, transport, with the 82d Regiment, is
ordered to Plymouth, where it will be landed.

ness Prince Frederick William of Hesse, the Duke of

WEST INDIA PINE APPLES.—Yesterday the first
consignment of West India pine apples this season, ex
Reyal Mail Steam-packet Avon, from Nassau, New Pr-
ovidence, were sold by Keeling and Hunt, Monument-
yard ; they were of the description termed Bird's Eye
Pine, and very inferior, none selling for more than 2s. 3d.
each.

TUE CHARTIST DISTURBANCES.
--- CLEiIIiENWELL-GREEN.
Last night another di; graceful exhibition was at-
tempted up,in Cierkenwell-green. The police having
received inform scion that several meetings were to take
place in various parts of the metropolis to sYmpathise
with Mr. Mitchel, and to demand of the Government his
immediate liberty, and that at the termination of these
meetings the parties intended to march off to Clerken-
well-green, induced the Commissioners to make such ar- 1
rangements as would effectually have broken up such a
procession if attempted. At an early part of the evening
a number of mounted police were sent off; not merely to
Clerkenwell, but to Arbour-square, Stepney,King-street,
Westminster, and Lambeth. The soldiery were also
under arms, and were quartered in different parts of
London. The Honourable Artillery Company received
notice yesterday morning to assemble in the evening,
and hold themselves in readiness in case their services
should be required. Accordingly, the whole of that
force met last night at the Armoury, in the Artillery.
ground, and were immediately placed under arms.
At six o'clock the people began to assemble at Clerken-
well-green, in the expectation that some, of their
" brave patriots" would have been present to address
them according to promise. In that they were disap-
pointed, and the only party who attempted to make a
speech was a man nobody appeared to know, who was
dressed in a brown holland blouse. Having taken his '
stand on the kerb opposite the churchyard, he began his
harangue by upbraiding the people for their cowardice
in not resisting the police the previous night.—(Cries of
"We did.") Yes, but how did you do it? continued the
orator; you suffered them to knock down your friends
in the same manner the horses are slaughtered in
Sharp's-alley. You are not fit to be called Chartists or
Repealers. He was absolutely ashamed of them.—
(Cries of "Oh dear!") Yes, he would not own one of
them any longer.—(Cries of " What do you want us to
do?") Why, go to work at once, and pull up the
pavement; they could do that before the police
got there, if they liked. They had done no-
thing yet. Where were their broken bottles
and their old mantel-pieces that Mitchel recom-
mended?—(Cries of " You are a pretty leader. Where
would you go?") He would go by the side of the man
who had just interrupted him, if he would take the front
rank.—(Cries of " Walker!") This remark seemed to
provoke the speaker to such an extent, that he was de-
termined at once to resort to physical force, and with.
out further ceremony he left off his discourse and gave
his opponent a violent blow in the face. Being imme-
diately surrounded by some of his partisans, the fellow
succeeded in getting off; but the man having found out
his residence, he intends to take out an assault warrant
this morning (Friday).
At a quarter past eight o'clock Mr. Superintendent
Lewis, with about 100 men, marched on to the green, at
which time the mob was
creating a moat hideous noise,
throwing stones about, and rushing to and fro with sticks
in their hand; so
iiitt the inhabitants were compelled
again to close their t An additional number of
police came up from s
Aylesbury-street, and, according to
instructions from the superintendent, they marched in a
body amongst the crowd,
and in the course of half anmg
hour they succeeded inri back the rabble, and by
placing a reserve at the

At half-past ten o'clock the meetings in theFararortinhger-

and
places, broke up, but owing to the admirable
an
ments of the police, no processions were allowed

FARRINGDON HALL, SNOW-HILL.
Frustrated in their attempts to create a sensation out
of doors, the Confederates and Chartists assembled at
their various clubs yesterday morning, and resolved
that meetings should be held in the several districts of
the metropolis last evening, in order that they might
have an opportunity of expressing their unfettered opi-
nions with respect to Mr. Mitchel and his recent convic-
t;.,.,

At the meeting held at the Farringdon Hall, Snow-
hill, Mr. James White presided, and, in opening the
proceedings, remarked that the meeting was held for the
purpose of expressing their disgust at the way in which
Mr. Mitchel had been tried and convicted. The large
meeting which he beheld at once intimated that a strong
feeling prevailed in this country in favour of Mr. John
Mitchel. They felt, he had no doubt, as he (the chair-
man) did, that John Mitchel had only endeavoured to
free his country from that oppression under which it
had for so many years laboured.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) At some meetings which had been recently
held, recommendations of a very grave nature had been
made—he did not expect that such recommendations
would be made there, not that they were too timid—
(Cries of "No, no")—but he was quite certain that
whatever recommendations were proposed would be car-
ried out, for the people were quite ready to act, and were
not afraid of losing their own lives. If they were
driven to acts of violence they must not be blamed, for it
would be the fault of Government who had driven them
to it.—(Cheers.)
Mr. W. COOPER moved the following resolution:—
" That this meeting views it as the inalienable right of
man to think, that it would loek upon that man as less
than a man, who would be induced to hold back in
speaking what he thinks; that therefore John Mitchel
has only filled the purpose which his Maker had in view
in furnishing him with mind and tongue, that therefore
any ph4ys4mk demonstration of power made for the pur-
pose of 'Ragging. human beings- is a violation of God's
law and man's rights, and is viewed by this meeting with
the execration it deserves, but the meeting would also
express !their utter disgust at the means by which a
verdict of guilty' had been secured to a Whiggish Go-
vernment against John Mitchel, by poisoning the foun-
tain of justice—' trial by jury,' and by making the
profession of particular forms of religion the means
by which a gag-loving Government is to be strength-
ened in its purposes, and a fellow-creature convicted
and doomed for thinking and speaking, to fourteen
years' transportation in a penal settlement." The
question for their consideration was, not what doc-
trines Mr. Mitchel had taught. The question was not
whether Roman Catholics would or would not have con-
victed John Mitchel. The question was, whether any
Government were justified in packing the jury with men
who were known to be opposed to John Mitchel in
every sentiment he expressed? If such a right were to
be conceded to the Crown, what became of Magna Charts
—where was your Reform Bill—where your boasted
liberty? Why it was all miserable cant and humbug, and
there was no truth in any of them, and trial by jury
became a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. He felt it
his duty to come to that meeting for the purpose of
washing his hands from the damnable stain which had
been put upon every man, and which would remain
until they raised their voice against such a bloody pro-
ceeding. The Government knew that if John Mitchel
went on a little longer they would not be able to main-
tain their position; but he thanked God that be had
gone on long enough to do sufficient damage, as they
would very soon perceive. British power, he considered
was maintained in Ireland at the present time by the
point of the bayonet.—(Groans.) Much had been said
on the subject of the apprehended rise in Ireland, that
there was no fear of any disturbance on account
of Mitchel's transportation. All he should say on
that point was, that they were waiting their opportunity.
—(beer, hear, and cheers.) They were preserving
their strength until the proper period arrived.—(Loud
cheers.) The terrible cloud had not yet burst. After
lavishing a profusion of abuse upon the press, the
speaker continued to say—All Ireland's miseries have
been brought ou by English misrule—the Government
had forced upon that country a distasteful Church, had
compelled them to support it, they had refused to Ire-
land a measure of tenant right; in fact, every injustice
which could be thrust upon the country. It had been
said that if Mr. Mitchel had wished a repeal of the
union. that he should have petitioned Parliament.—
(Cries of " We have done with petitions; pikes are the
things for us now.") But he might have petitioned long
enough before any notice would have been taken of him.
When Mr. Mitchell saw during the last winter that
hundreds of thousands were dying of starvation, he
swore by God that lie would never rest night
nor day until he obtained redress for his country,
for doing which the Government had now trans-
ported him.—(A Voice—" Yes, the b—y villians are
murdering the people.") He warned the Government not
to suppose that they had put down agitation by trans-
porting Mitchel. The only way to do that, was to give
the country a right to self-government. All legitimate
power was derived from the people, and therefore the
people had a right to select what government they would
have. If he considered republicanism better than royalty
he had a right to say so. A republican was the only
just government, and the country would never prosper
under any other.—(Cheers.) He could assure the Go-
vernment that it was the determination of the people to
break the chains which John Mitchel had shaken.
Mr. E. YOUEL seconded the resolution. He said
.there
were men ready to join in any movement which might
take place for the release of Mitchel.—(Cheers.) They
had only one common object in view, that was to hurl
the Government of this country from its resting place.
The resolution was then put, and carried by accla-
mation.

Several other persons addressed the meeting, and an
address to Mrs. Mitchel w•as agreed to.

MEETING IN JOHN-STREET, TOTTENHAM•COURT-

Mr. Mitchel was held last night at the Literary Institu-
tion, John-street, Tottenham-court-road, which was
densely crowded long before the hour appointed for the

flammatory speeches, resolutions denunciatory of the
Government, and expressive of sympathy with Mr.
Mitchel, were agreed to.
