THE LONDON CHARTISTS.

We have been informed that warrants have been
issued this morning to arrest several of the London
Chartist leaders. We forbear to mention names, as
the parties are not yet in custody.

SUICIDE OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—This morning
Sergeant Parnell, No. 5 of the M division, put an end
to his existence at his residence in the Southwark-
Bridge-road, by hanging himself. The deceased was
assaulted during the Chartist riots, when he received a
violent blow on his head, which produced erysipelas, and
for some days past he has been in a state of delirium.
Last night he went to bed apparently much better, but
about three o'clock his wife missed him from her side.
She instantly got out of bed and proceeded down
stairs, when she perceived her husband suspended by
the neck to a beam in the kitchen quite dead. The de-
ceased was a very active officer, and his loss is much
regretted by the whole division.
RAILWAY SPEED.—The limitation of railway spee:l,
then, is not to be found in the width of gauge, but in
other and different considerations, such as the strains to
which it is prudent to submit materials—the same on
every gauge—the local features of the railway (as its
gradients, curves, &c.), the comparative freedom or
otherwise of the line from trains (such as goods and
mineral trains) necessarily travelling at low speeds.
Thus, on the London and South-Western, a narrow
gauge railway, the express trains have, during the last
twelve months, been traveling at a higher rate of speed
(by 1,-i mile per hour) than those of the Great Western
Railway from London to Exeter on the broad gauge.—

LIVERPOOL.

(From the Second Edition of the Liverpool Journal
• , -

of this day.)

It is rumoured that last night the Mayor and
magistrates came to the conclusion that it was neces-
sary to take the more dangerous of the Liverpool
demagogues into custody, and in pursuance of this
decision a warrant was made out for the arrest of
Dr. Reynolds, and an officer dispatched therewith to
Birmingham, to which town this individual was
known to have fled. Our information does not state
if the arrest has been effected.

LY CEUM THEATRE.

- -
A long and successful season terminated at this elegant
theatre last t•vening. The performances on the cceasion
we re Poor Pillicoady for Mr. Biiaitone and Miss rrowittd;
131nebeard for Mr. F. Matthews, Mr. Selby, and Mr. H.
andghe elegant extravaganza, by Plaacte, Theseus
and AriaJne, tor Madame Vestris, Miss K. Fitzwilliain,
Miss J. Coleman, Miss Marshall, and Mr. C. Mathews,
to take farewell of their smiling and delighted friends.
The house was crowded. At the conclusion of Blue-
6eard Mr. C. Mathews delivered the following address:
—•• Ladies and Gentlemen,—The last night of our first
season has arrived; and, in compliance with custom, I
have myself arrived to say something of what we pro-
pose to do before the first night of our second shall ar-
rive. This is a custom which, for all I know, may
be more honoured in the breach than in the ob-
servance;' but theatrical custom of any sort is so
scarce now, that we cannot afford to give up any
portion of it. If you ask me what I came here
to say, .I may safely say I can't say. It is quite
useless for me to say what we have done, for you
know it, and it is impossible for me to say what we are
going to do, for I don't. In short, being myself before
the curtain, how can I communicate to you what is go-
ing on behind it ? These are no times for open and ad-
vised speaking. This, however, I may say—our object
is to please, not to astonish you; and, therefore, we
mean to proceed on a gradual system of improvement,
profiting by the experience of the past, but risking no
startling changes. Always honouring the art we pro-
fess, we are delighted to hear of the success of the legi-
timate drama—when it can be found—but we also
honour in you that noble absence of prejudice which
permits you to extend your patronage to the poor little
illegitiniates we have submitted to you for support—
iliegitunates, be it remembered, through no fault of
their own, but through the fault, if any, of their
misguided authors. Having told you that, I
need not tell you what we have • done, and also told
you that I cannot tell you what we aro going to
do—l should like, if I dared, to tell you what I
wish you to do—and that is, to come here in unlimited
numbers when we open again, and judge for yourselves
' what we do do. It only remains for to. to beg you to
accept the grateful thanks'of Mrs. Mathews and myself
for the favour you have bestowed onourendeavour togive•
the drama, legitimate or illegitimate as the case may be,
a respectable roof over its head—and, in the name of
the company as well as our own, respectfully to bid you
farewell. In hopes of ' one cheer more,' allow me to
add, in the words of the immortal Sylvester Dagger-
wood, that our benefit is fixed for Monday next, the 31st
of July, by particular desire of several persons of dis-
tinction.' "

Monday, therefore, will be an extra night, for the
benefit of Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Mathews; the
pieces chosen are highly attractive, and we have no
doubt that the house will be crammed to the ceiling. ,

LATEST FROM PARIS.

Five voltigeurs of the 7th Regiment of Light Infantry
have unhappily perished by fire in the infirmary of the
barrack of Rueil, near Paris. The fire was communi-
cated to the infirmary by the ignition of 250 straw
mattresses, which were spread out to be aired
in the court-yard of the barracks. Every effort
to save the unfortunate men was made by Captain Le-
guisier, aided by a sergeant and a private, whose arm
was dreadfully burnt, but without success. The infirmary
was totally consumed.

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
WOOLWICH, JULY 29.
Lieutenant Kennedy, one sergeant, one corporal, and
ten gunners, of the Royal Marine Artillery, three ser•
geants, three corporals, and thirty privates of the Royal
Marines, marched this morning at four o'clock from
Woolwich to Euston-square, to proceed by railway to
Liverpool, to
iplace themselves under the direction of
the Packet-master at that port, for the purpose, it is
said, of placing one sergeant, one corporal, and ten
privates, on board each of the mail steam-packets on the
Liverpool station, for their protection.
The Black Eagle, the Monkey, and the Charon steam-
vessels still continue to keep their steam up at moorings,
opposite the Woolwich Dockyard, ready to be made
available for the transport of troops or ammunition at a
moment's notice.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
DUBLIN.

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' majo-
rity was resumed, but the petitioners did not succeed in
striking off any additional votes to-day.

NORTH CHESHIRE.
The evidence in favour of the case for the sitting
Member having closed,
Mr. bIEREWETHER was heard at some length in
summing it up, after which the Committee adjourned till
Monday, at twelve o'clock.

A Bayonne letter of the 25th instant announces
that a body of 2,000 convicts had revolted at Valladolid,
massacred their guards, and fled into the country, crying
that they were going to join the lloatemolinist bands in
La Mancha.

LOMBARDY AIND PIEDMONT.

The Chamber of Deputies of Turin have just voted
the mobilisation of 56 battalions of the .National
Guard, for the defence of the coasts and frontiers of
the new kingdom of Upper Italy. Each of these
battalions will present an effective force of 600 men.
11 Pensiero Italian mentions another advantage
obtained by the Piedmontese over the Austrians. A
considerable force, amounting, as is stated, to about
20,000 men, made a sortie from Verona on the 18th.
The advanced guard, consisting of 3,600 men, allowed
itself to be surrounded by two Pied montese brigades,
and was obliged to lay down its arms. A general
engagement then ensued, in which a body of 17,000
Austrians were defeated at all points. While this
affair was going on another sortie was made from
Mantua by 7,000 Austrians, who were repulsed by
a body of 4,000 troops, composed of Romans, Tuscans,
and Neapolitans.

Verona was to have been bombarded on the 19th.

The Ventidue Marzo, of the 22d of July, has news
from the theatre of war. A troop of Croats had left
Mantua direct for Governolo. A Hungarian, taken
prisoner in the act of gathering herbs beneath the
walls of Mantua, informed his captors that of 8,000
soldiers immured in that city 3,000 were prostrated
by sickness.
General Zuccimi has been appointed a General of
Division by the Provisional Government of Milan.
The King of SARDINIA has raised several of the
wounded soldiers to the rank of Lieutenant, and
assigned them liberal pensions as a reward for their
gallant exertions in the cause of Italian independence.
A letter from the fort of Pietola, dated the 17th
July, says :
There is no longer any communication between the
two fortresses of Verona and Mantua. Charles Albert
often visits us, and sometimes as early as four o'clock in
the moreing. Four spies in the employ of the tyrant
Radetzky have been captured by our soldiers and will
be summarily put to death. We are assured that the
Piedmontese are musters of the highest hill which coin
mands Verona."

The positions at present occupied by the Piedmon-
tese army are Curtalone, Montunara, San Silvestro,
Levata, Cappaletta, Itomanone, Caffaldo, and Bagnolu.
Three columns, each 11,000 strong, advanced against
Mantua on the 13th.

FRANKFORT.

- -
In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
24th, M. DE SCUMERLING declared that :mother ar-
mistice was to be concluried with Denmark, but that
already measures were taken to urge on the war with
vigour, if necessary. He added that anew energetic
note had been addressed to the Sardinian Govern-
ment, to demand the complete removal of the blockade
of Trieste.

'e Ycntidue Afarzo, of the 22d of July, has news
from the theatre of war. A troop of Croats had left
Mantua direct for Governolo. A Hungarian, taken
prisoner in the act of gathering herbs beneath the
walls of Mantus, informed his captors that of 8,000
soldiers immured in that city 3,000 were prostrated
by sickness.
General Zuccin has been appointed a General of

tese army are Curtalone, Montonara, San Silvestro,

Three columns, each 11,000 strong, advanced against
Mantua on the 13th.

IRELAND.

Sir A. BROOKE inquired whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to call out the yeomanry of the
north of Ireland. On his own estate alone be believed
ho could raise five hundred loyal men, who would do
great service to their country.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had written to the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland on this subject, and be
might state that his observations generally ended by his
saying that the immediate calling out of the yeomanry,
or the postponing doing so, was a matter which
was better left to the discretion of his judg-
ment than of the Goverment at home. Ho could
only say, therefore, that there was the utmost
confidence on the part of the Lord-Lieutenant and the
Government with respect to the loyalty of the yeomanry
of the north of Ireland, and it was not, therefore, from
any doubt as to their loyalty that the Government had
not called them out.—(Hear, hear.)

PUBLIC WORKS IRELAND (No. 2) BILL.

On the motion for the third reading,
Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY objected to the Bill, because
it assumed that 954,0001. would be received from Ireland
and took Iron the House all control over that. money.
Atter past experience of the way in which money h►d
been spent on public works iu Ireland, he was opposed
to any more being voted.
Dr. BO WRING also opposed the Bill.
Colonel BLACKALL said it was only lending the
Irish people their own money back again.
Mr. STAFFORD opposed the Bill.
The opposition was not pressed to a division, and the
Bill was read a third time.
CHANCERY FEES.

On the motion of the SOLICI UDR-GENERAL,
leave was given to bring in a Bill to alter the mode of
collecting certain fees payable in the High Court of

mn._O'GORAIAN IN LIMEIUCL

The Limerick Chronicle of this day gives the follow-
ing version of Mr. O'Gormati's reception in Killaloe,
which differs iu the most essential point from that for•
warded yesterday:—
Mr. R. O'Gorman, jun., accompanied by Messrs.
Doyle and O'Donnell (solicitors), Mr. Charles M'Carthy„
and Mr. John M'Cormack, left this on Sunday morning
for Killaloe, for the purpose of establishing a Confede-
rate Club there, and organisinh the peasantry. Hay-
ing waited on the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, P.P., and ac-
quainted him with the object of their mission, the
reverend gentleman told them he could not give his
sanction to the movement—that while he was anxious
and desirous to seo his country raised from its impo•
verished and degraded condition, yet, as a priest, he was
a than of peace, and consequently adverse to the doe-
trines promulgated by the party to which they were
attached. The respectable inhabitants of the town also
refused to join the deputation, who walked about for
some time in despair, but ultimately they mustered a
crowd of 300 idle persons, who were harangued iu the
ar
usual inflammatory and seditious strain by • O'Gor-
man and the deputation. A club was formed, deno-
minated " The Kincura," but not more than fifty mem-
bers were enrolled, several of whom since withdrew
their names.

RUMOURS.

Rumour is busy all this day in Cork, says the Cork
Examiner. Nothing is spoken of but bundles of war-
rants, end the certainty of their speedy execution. So
much for this city.
But a rumour is circulated in town, which we haVe
heard justified by an appeal to a " private letter," the
purport of which is, that one of the prominent leaders of
the movement has addressed a letter to a friend in this
city, dated—" Camp, outside Carrick-on.Suir."
Another rumour is—that a letter has been written by
the same party, dated " Cashel."
Nothing
has appeared in the Kilkenny or Clonmel
papers to justify
any apprehension that the phrase
" camp" is likely to convey. Nye give elsewhere the
only extracts worthy of notice. Had anything occurred,
wo should be likely to receive some intimation of it
through our correspondents. But we have no letters of
importance.
IMPORTATION OF PIKES.
Mr. Thomas Jones, seedsman, Grand Parade, was
brought before the magistrates, in their private office,
on Tuesday, in reference to a charge preferred
by Sub-Inspector Walker, of his having had on
his premises a large quantity of rebel pike-
heads. Being sworn, he admitted that some time since
a cask was left at his establishment, which was called
for by a carrier, who opened it and showed it to contain
remarkably well-wrought and highly-
finished pike-
ht ads. The cask was removed, as he understood, into
the country, but ho could not tell by whom it was sent
to his shop, or who the man was that removed it. It
is understood that six thousand pike-heads have been
imported from Sheffield into this city during the past
few months, and that the purchase money has not been
supplied by anybody in this country. They have been
sent into the clubs through the medium of shopkeepers
in Cork, to whom they have been consigned for delivery%

FOREIGN CATTLE.

Arr. OSBORNE inquired whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to introduce a Bill to prevent
the isnportation of foreign cattle.
Mr. LABOUCHEIIE said his attention, had been
called to the matter b$ commurications from quarters to
thi,, important subject, and the result o: the in-
quirks he had instituted had led him to rite opinion
tnsi; there was no doubt that a fatal disease prevailed
at gst the sheep of the country, and he purposed to
introduce a Bill in the present session to give the Go-
vertu Sent the power—which they did not at present
possess—of preventing the inip6rtation of diseased
cattle into the country.—(llear, bear.)
SAVINGS' BASKS (IRELAND.)
Mr. HERBERT wished, as the Hon. Baronet the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was absent, to ask a ques-
tion of the Government of considerable importance,
whether it was the intention of the Government to pro-
pose a bona fide inquiry into the savings' ha nks of Ire-
land this session, great delay having taken peace on the
subject ?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was the intention of
his Right Hon. Friend to introduce a Bill on. the subject.
As, however, the subject was one on which ranch excite-
ment might be caused by any step not well considered,
he had thought it better to move the appointment of a
Committee on Monday.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ROME BILL.
In reply to Mr. BUCK,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that the Government
intended to proceed with this Bill this session as it at
present stood, including the proviso (as we understood)
introduced by the House of Lords.

FRANCE.

,The disturbances at Lyons have ceased. On this sub-
ject.we read in the Moniteur—" M. 'fABOURET, sub-
stitut du Procureur de la Republique at Lyons, has
been subjected to the most violent outrages on the
part of the Voraces, who imprisoned him at the
Croix Rousse. He courageously resisted the most
shameful treatment against his person ; summoned by
irritated bands to give up prisoners who were detained
on warrants, he only answered, 'The law alone can
order their release, and the magistrate will only grant
it on a decree of justice.'; A wretch threw a long
leather strap around his face and neck, on which a
cry of indignation was uttered by the young magis-
trate. People kill those whom they believe an
enemy,' he cried, but do not dishonour him ! '
Placed in liberty after several hours of sequestration,
he was only sent to Lyons sur parole, and under the
condition that he would return at a fixed hour, with
the order to release the prisoners. He replied, I will
return without the prisoners,' and he went back to
the Croix Rousse at the risk of his life, where he was
delivered by some courageous men. The Court of Ap-
peal of Lyons immediately took in hand the procedure
relative to the crime which led to the arrest of the
seven individuals accused of having destroyed several
machines. This was done on the demand of M. Loy-
so N, doing the duties of Procureur• General. All the
magistracy conducted themselves nobly with courage
and dignity above all praise. The Minister of Jus•
tice yesterday proposed to the Commission of Execu-
tive Government to take the measures which these
grave attempts call for, and the Government has so
done. At the same time the Minister proposed the
norninaticn of M. TAnouRET to the post of second
advocate to the Court of Appeal at Besancon. This
choice was immediately accepted. The court at
Besancon will receive with eagerness a magistrate
who, by his noble conduct, has merited the public
esteem and the praises of the Government."

HUNGARY.

Serious disturbances have taken place at Pesth•
The troops fired upon the people. Baron LEDERER,
the Commander-in-Chief, has fled to Vienna. The
troops were to take the oath of allegiance to the
Hungarian constitution on the 12th. Our corre-
spondent, writing at 10 o'clock at night on the 11th
inst., says—

" There is now no means of stopping the revolutionary
torrent ; the people have insisted on the return of the
Hungarian troops from the foreign provinces. The
Radicals are stirring—everywhere mobs of people
surround the revolutionary speakers. A grand popular
meeting is to be held to-morrow. It is now ten at night
—the whole town is alive. The moon shines bright—
numbers of people crowd about tke streets. Speeches
are making in the open air—the troops have been con-
signed to the citadel and the barracks—every post is
occupied by the National Guard. Tranquillity will not
be disturbed to-night, but to-morrow must be a decisive
day. It is rumoured that Paul Nyari, the leader of the
Radicals, has been directed to form a Ministry. Count
Batthyani, the Prime Minister, arrived an hour ago from
Vienna, whither he had repaired to send in his resigna-
tion. Paul Nyari has taken upon himself to raise on
the spot 30,000 men.
" I am informed that thirty persons were wounded
dangerously in yesterday's affray ; four have already
died. According to the law of the country, the troops
cannot interfere till they are called out by the civil
authority. They not only did so yesterday, but rushed
upon the unarmed people, and charged them mercilessly
without the slightest warning or summons to retire. The
Italian soldiers alone stood motionless, notwithstanding
the orders of their officers. Public thanks were voted
to them in to-day's meeting. General do Lederer fled
during the night, and is on his way to Vienna, but the
Austrian Government will be forced to give him up.
The demand is already dispatched. The Hungarian
colonel, Maurice Boyneburg, has provisionally taken the
command-in-chief of the troops at Ofen."

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

GROUP No. S.—NEWPORT AND PoNTrroob.—The
case of the promoters was further considered, and evi-
dence taken in its favour.
GROUP No. 12.— GLASGOW AND MONKIANDS.—
The Committee passed the preamble of the above com •
pang's Bill for making a branch across the Clyde, but
deferred the clauses.

ELECTION CO3IIIIITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
CHELTENHAM.—Tile Cheltenham Election Commince
assembled this morning, and adjourned over till to-mor-
row, without at all going into the case.
LEICESTER.—The Leicester Election Committee met
for the fir: t time this morning, Mr. Ker Seymer in the
chair.

A very lengthened legal argument arose upon the
validity of the recognizances and eventually the Com-
mittee decided that they were void.
Mr. Bruccs ANDREWS then applied for leave to amend
under the new Act.

Mr. CROWDER contended against it.
The Committee had not decided when our report left.

ARRIVAL OF SIR H. L. BULWER.

Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer arrived this morning at
Dover from Boulogne, and proceeded to London by
the Gh. 15m. train.

BALLOON ASCENT.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
LEEDS, MAY 23.
Lieutenant G. 13. Gale made his 33d ascent on Monday
last, in the Cremorne Balloon, from the Zoological Gar-
dens at Reulingley, near Leeds, accompanied by James
Goulston, Esq., who made his fitth ascent. The.balloon
was constructed by Mr. Goulston; it is rather more than
40 feet in diameter, and will contain about 35,000 feet of
gas. It was entirely yellow, with the exception of the
zone or belt, which was scarlet.
The balloon was inflated early in the morning, near
the Cardigan's Arms, Kirkstall•road, and was conveyed
about eight o'clock to the gardens by means of ropes.
The distance was about a quarter of a mile. The in •
flation occupied three hours. The ascent took place
about ten minutes before seven in the evening; the bal-
loon rose almost perpendicularly, and a finer ascent was
never witnessed; the sun shining brilliantly at the time
caused the balloon to appear like a globe of fire.
After remaining in the air about three-quarters of an
hour, the aeronauts descended safely within a short dis•
tance of the railway station at Dewsbury, a distance of
eight or nine miles from the gardens.
Considerable dissatisfaction was.caused on the appear-
ance of the balloon with only two persons in the car, it
being announced in the bills that the balloon was
capable of holding 60,000 feet of gas, and was capable
of ascending with twelve persons ; and, likewise, that
Lieutenant Gale would be accompanied by six persons,
whereas the balloon will only take four or five.
London, England, 1848-05-12

Another SHAREIIOLDEA then suggested that, instead
of the call of ten shillings a share, the same plan as that
adopted in the United Mexican Association should be
followed, viz., the allowing certain shareholders to ad-
vance money on the security
.of the property to enable
the works to be proceeded with, the directors giving
such shareholders equivalent advantages for their ad-
vances.
Mr. GIBISES stated in reply that only within the last
week the directors. had received.advices of the carriage
of gold towards this country which had, however, been
unexpectedly delayed at 1-tio Janeiro, but which might
arrive st any moment, and it would therefore, he
thought, be unwise to deviate from the usual plan on the
present occasion.
The report was then put and adopted, and the meet-
ing was dissolved.
