THE CHARTIST MEETING IN

ED ENB URGH.
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 constituents who sent the various delegates up to
London, of course we are not aware of—probably either
tke 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.
There is also another circumstance which has no doubt
had considerable weight in influencing the proceedings
of the delegates. Upon looking over the Aorthern Star
we find a letter headed " The People's Charter and no
Surrender," which proceeded to state that " Not only
from all parts of the kingdom, but in the House of
Commons, I have received assurance that the people's
charter will be the adopted principle of the opposition;
and the landed aristocracy of this country having proved
themselves the greatest enemies of liberty, a prompt
assault will be made upon their unconstitutional and
.
worn-out privileges. • • • ••
" The middle classes, the shopkeepers, and Irish re-
peelers, are but recent converts to our principles, and
that, thus augmented in force, it is our bounden duty to
try its pressure upon the House. If you doubt the pre-
sent temper of the former supporters of Whiggery, you
should have been in the House on Friday night last,
when every member of the Government, as well as the
Attorney-General, was received as he rose, with the
hootings, the howlings, and the yells of their former
supporters, though not one word of it is reported by the
prehs, although they were actually hooted down every
time they rose.

" 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-slayin.e; Liu
vernment."

Died at Turin, on the 10th of April, 1848, the
Hon. Anne Elizabeth Cholmley, widow of Lieutenant-
General Sir John Murray, Burt., and only daughter of
Constantine John, second Baron Mulgrave, by his wife
Anne Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel Cho'coley, of
iiowshatn, county of York, Esq.
CITY COURT OF SEWERS.—Yesterday, being Easter
Tuesday, the majority of the aldermen, deputies, and
Common councilmen connected with the above-named

business in their respective wards, so that after immediate
claims were attended to, and instructions had been given
to Mr. Dikw, the clerk, the remainder of the business wail
ordered to stand over until Tuesday next.
