THE CHARTIST MEETING IN
EDINBURGH.

The Chartist demonstration, held on the Calton
Hill, on Monday evening, proved a total failure.
There might have been 600 or 700 persona on the
hill ; but, owing to the unfavourable weather, the
meeting adjourned to the hall in Adam square, where,
after the assembly had been kept waiting a consider-
able time for the committee, a memorial to the Queen,
praying her Majesty to dissolve the present Par-
liament, was ultimately adopted.
Delegates were then appointed to represent the
Scotch Chartists in the great " National Assembly,"
to be held in this metropolis on the Ist of May.

CHARTIST CONVENTION.
The delegates composing this convention appear to
be, like the public, completely weary of their old routine
of rapid and monotonous speech-making. Upon the
occasion of their last assembling the sitting were
adjourned till Tuesday (yesterday.) Upon our arrival
at the usual place of meeting we found however a notice
upon the door, informing the few disappointed idlers
standing near the spot, that the Convention would not
sit there that day. We find that a similar notice is
again posted to-day. What may be the reason of this
breach of faith with the public, and neglect of duty to
the eonstituents who sent the various delegates up to
London, of course we are not aware of—probably either
the Easter festivities and free exhibition of the metro-
polis have too many charms, or the measure which has
recently received the sanction of the Crown too many
terrors to allow of their assembling in the usual manner.t
There is also another circumstance which has no doubt
had considerable weight in influencing the proceedingstr
Star
we the delegates. Upon looking over the Northern
we find a letter headed " The People's Charter and
no
Surrender," which proceeded to state that " Noto only

" In conclusion, then, what I have to implore of you
is, to postpone your National Assembly, whose enthu-
siasm may be operated upon by spies, until you see the
effect of this new combination 'of disappointed hope,
when arrayed against an intolerant liberty-slaying Go-
vernment."
