CHARTIST MEETINGS.

Mr. Justice Patteson. in addressing the grand jury
yesterday in the Court of Queen's Bench, after making
the observations usually delivered on such occasions,
proceeded to say—
"l should nut trouble you further but for the peculiar
circumstances of the times. I think it right from this
place, the highest criminal court in the realm, to point
out the abhorrence in which the law holds such tumul-
tuous assemblages as have lately terrified and distracted
the peaceably disposed of her ,Majesty's subjects ; for it
is impossible to foresee what consequences may arise
from such assemblages, even when the object, in the
first instance, for calling them together may have bee❑
just and lawful, since the fact of an assemblage of
crowds of persons may lead to acts not at all contemplated
originally, May lead to outrages which were never
thought of by the persons calling them together,
but which bring those persons within the operation
of the law. This is true of all assemblages
held even in the day time, and how much more
true is it, then, of such assemblages as are held at
night, when it is next to impossible to discuss with
temper or moderation the matters which may have
brought them together, and when it is scarcely possible
for any one, even the most charitable and indulgent, to
conceive that anything short of intimidation by physical
force was intended ; and the essence of the criminality
in such cases is the extent of alarm with which the
peaceable inhabitants may be affected, and, therefore, I
have no hesitation in saying that such tumultuous meet-
ings at night can hardly, under any circumstances what
ever, be otherwise than criminal. I speak as an exponent
of the criminal law of the land, applicable to all parts
of her Majesty's dominions ; and if proceedings on in-
dictment against parties forming such assemblages should
come before you, whether those parties be principals
or merely spectators going to such meetings without
considering that by so doing they swell the numbers
and increase the means of doing mischief, you must con-
sider what are the facts, and in proportion as terror has
been excited, and outbreaks and disorders are likely to
prevail, in that proportion are these parties guilty. I
cannot define the limits of the offence, because it is a
matter of fact which it will be for you to consider and
determine on. Ido not anticipate that any case of this
sort will come before you, but I feel it my duty to warn
all parties that the law is not to be trifled with, that the
country must not be kept in the state of alarm in which
it has lately been, and that the apprehensions which
have existed in the minds of the well-disposed of out-
breaks taking place must be put an end to. The law
will hold out an example to deter others from the like
offences. It is not to be expected that those who have
placed themselves in a position to be called specially for-
ward shall be harassed by repeated calls upon them; it
is not desirable that it should be so; and it must
be self-evident to all that those who make such
calls imperative should suffer the consequences
of their misconduct. I need not state to you what means
the law has of repressing these tumults further than tt,
say that it is the bounden duty of all her Majesty's sub-
jects to lend themselves to the preservation of peace and
good order both by the common law of the land and la)
particular statutes. That duty, I need not say, ha=
lately been performed in a most efficient manner, and an
example has been held out which all the countries of the
world would do well to follow. I trust that, under God's
blessing, these means will be effectual to the preserva-
tion of good order—l hope they will be effectual to
secure the blessings of peace, and to secure all those in-
valuable blessings which we enjoy under the constitution
of the realm—blessings secured by the highest authority
in this country—l mean the authority of Parliament. 1
have thought it proper thus shortly to state what the
authority of the law is upon the subject, and to point
out the dangers which may be incurred by persons
meeting in such assemblages as have been lately held in
this and other parts of the country."
The Learned Judge then dismissed the grand jury,
who withdrew.

THE CHARTISTS.-RENE WED
DISTURBANCES.
VIRGINIA -FIELDS.BETIINAL-GREEN.---The scenes that
took place in this neighbourhood yesterday morning will
not easily be f rgotten. It having been announced that
a meeting of the " six points men" would take place in
an open space of groued facing the Birdcage tavern, at
ten o'clock in the forenoon, at that hour about 500 per-
sons met together. Having elected a chairman, a man
whose name was said to be Page proceeded to address
the meeting. He said they were met together to show
the Government that they were determined to
rest neither night or day— not even on the Sab-
bath—without the Charter:—Hear, hear.) By that ap-
plause he knew the persons standing round him were ie
earnest—were determined to have the Charter.—(Cries
of " And Mitchell.") Well, they could have both it
they liked ; they had only to he determined, and
they would soon convince the Government that they
would be obliged to recall their banished friend to his
native soil, and also that they must make the Charter,
and nothing else, the law of the land.—(Loud cheers.)
He admired their enthusiasm, but working was better
than preaching. From what had appeared in the papers
he had no doubt that the police would attempt to put
down this meeting—hut should they be allowed to suc •
eyed in their purposes?—(Cries of " No.") Then let
them all be determined to a man, and show the vile police
if they came there, that they were not afraid of them
(Cries of "We will.") Well, then, he would tell them
how to do it. If they should see the police coming, in-
stead of making infernal asses of themselves by running
away, let them Corm into a military square, and he would
answer that not one of them would be injured. If, on
the contrary, they commenced running away, so surely
would they be butchered by the blue monsters.
The speaker had hardly uttered the last sentence
when Mr. Inspector Tarlton, of the N division, came in
sight, with about torts constables. In an instant a cry
was raised of " the police! the police!" and the mob,
instead of forming the "military square," commenced
running in all directions. Here the matter would have
ended bad it not been for some desperate fellows, who
began to incite the crowd, and shouting out, " Down
with the police !" At the same time a number of
them commenced throwing stones at the officers. Upon
this Tarlton gave the men orders to disperse the crowd.
On being driven from the open ground the mob took
possession of the bye streets, and pelted the police. A
brick was thrown at Inspector Tarlton, which caught
him between the shoulders and knocked him down ; at
the same moment Sergeant Moore was floored in a
similar manner. The police then went to work with
their truncheons, and a series of conflicts took place at
various points. In South-street and Cootle-street, the
inhabitants of which are of the lowest class, the
police were assailed by showers of brickbats and ginger-
beer bottle s from the windows, by which several were
hurt, and No. 169 was obliged to be removed to the
station. In Virginia-row a party of mounted police,
armed with swords, had to come to the rescue of their
comrades on foot; but no sooner were they drafted off
to another point, than the insurgents rallied, and drove
the police out of the street. At length Inspector Penny
came into the field with a reinforcement of a hundred
men, when, by dint of a most indefatigable use of their
staves, something like order was restored. Of course, a
vast number of the Chartists were injured. From ten
o'clock until nearly one this terrible work was going on;
the shouting, screaming, and fighting was of such a cha-
racter as to baffle all means of accurately describing it.
Several of the birdcatchers, and other low people being
in the streets, were continually inciting the mob, and
crying out, " We intend to keep up this work for two
years, if we don't get the charter before!" Three or
four parties were taken into custody for pelting the
police and inciting the mob, but unfortunately the prin-
cipal ringleaders escaped. By one o'clock the neigh-
bourhood assumed its usual state of quietude, and the
police were mustered at a place close by, in case any
further rioting should take place.
LONDON-FIELDS, HACKNET.—From information for-
warded to the Commissioners of Police that a monster
meeting was to take place in these fields yesterday morn-
ing, six o'clock a.m., a powerful body of police belonging
to the N, G, and H divisions, with Mr. Superintendent
Johnson and Inspectors Thatcher and Cowden, took pos-
session of the ground. A considerable number of people
congregated during the day, but no meeting was allowed
to take place.
Vicroele PART.—The Chartists, and other disor-
derly characters belonging to this distrie.t, deter-
mined not to be behind their brethren in other places
with their meetings, commenced operations in Victoria
Park as early as eight o'clock yesterday morning.
Shortly before that hour about three or four hundred
persons congregated together, and a chairman having
been chosen, the proceedings commenced. One of the
Chartist orators was addressing the meeting and
pointing out the only way of making the Government
give them the Charter, when a number of mounted
policemen, with drawn swords, galloped on to the
ground. In an instant a scene of indescribable confusion
took place; the police set to work with the flat parts of
their swords, and in the course of a few minutes the
park was deserted by all except the police. A most
determined attempt was made at an early part of the
afternoon by a dissolute gang to murder two constables.
A bode of the K division, in returning from the park,
on pas-sing Virginia Gardens, found about one hundred
men ill-using the officers; they had forced them out of
the ground and were pressing their throats, no doubt
intending to murder them. The K division, by using
their truncheons, succeeded in beating off the mob and
taking two or three of the ringleaders. The ground of
offence was this:—The officers, in passing by one of the
houses in Virginia-row, had a pike pointed at them by a
man, who said, " A little of this will do you good."
They we re waiting for this party to come out when they
were so brutally attacked.
BISHOP BONNER'S FIELDS.
Two meetings took place in these fields during the
afternoon, one at two o'clock, and another at five. The
first was principally to sympathise with Mr. Mitchel.
A great many violent speeches were delivered, and a re-
solution passed to the effect, " that the Government had
shown itself to be tyrannical and cruel in banishing Mr.
Mitchel, who had been guilty of no offence." The
second meeting commenced immediately at the close of
the first. The speeches were of the usual violent cha-
rscter, and during their delivery the shouting of the par-
ties was most deafening. For four hours, although
there was an immense number of police, both mounted
and on foot, but very few of them could be seen whilst
the meetings lasted. At length, however, circumstances
arose which called for their interference. About half-
past six o'clock, a number of boys commenced throwing
stones at each other, when some of the rabble told them
that instead of doing so they ought to pelt the church, in
which the police were concealed. In an instant they did
as they were requested, and showers of stones were
thrown at the windows, and in the course of a few
minutes a great number of squares of glass were de-
molished. The police were now called into action, and
having emerged from their various places of conceal-
ment, they marched in sections into the midst of the
people. The rabble then cried out, " You who have
arms, use them;" and from what subsequently took
place, it is quite clear that not a few were armed.
The moment the police drew their truncheons, a great
many parties scampered off in various directions; but
several hundreds refused to go, and were loud in their
complaints against the police. Tho men having been
commanded to clear the ground, a dreadful conflict be-
tween the rabble and police took place. The truncheons
were used with full force, without the least regard to
persons, and in the space of a few minutes several dozen
men and buys were knocked about. Some were sent flat
upon the ground, and were walkedover by others in their
anxiety to escape, whilst many had their heads broken,
arms fractured, and otherwise seriously injured. Not-
withstanding the violence the police were obliged to use,
many refused to get off the ground; and on the police
going up between them, they showed the officers the
arms they had about their persons. Not to be put down
by the exhibition of the weapons the mob had about
them, they set to work with renewed vigour, and a deal
of bloodshed was the result; but fortunately, up to the
time this was written, no fatal case had occurred,
although a desperate attempt was made to stab a police-
man of the K division in the abdomen. The officer
seeing the fellow in the act, put down his hand to
ward off the blow, when the instrument penetrated
completely through the fleshy part of the hand.
The constable was immediately disabled from duty,
and was obliged to be removed to the London Hospital.
Several partied were taken into custody, but whether
the principal ringleaders or not is at present unknown.
The most unfortunate part of the affair is, that several
innocent persons who were passing along the roads, on
getting mixed up with the crowd, were severely injured.
One poor fellow, a wheelwright living in Green-street,
had his head laid open, and upon being carried to a
neighbouring public-house, was at first supposed to be
dead. A medical man having been called in, he pro-
nounced the poor fellow to be in a very precarious con-
dition.
At the evening meeting about twenty five thousand
persons assembled. After waiting for about one hour
(the meeting being calla fur five o'clock) for the
leaders,

Mr. SIIARP rose and said—My friends, you perceive
that I have kept my promise and am here, but I am
sorry to say those who promised to speak at this
meeting have not arrived. They are, I fear, cowards,
for they have kept away because it has been reported
that there was danger to be apprehended from the po-
lice and military, the authorities having stated that they
would put down the meeting. I cannot help calling
them cowards, and do not care one pin for the po -
lice or the military. I shall continue to address
you whenever I can get an opportunity, until you
have obtained your rights.—(Cheers.) I consider
your conduct this morning was most disgusting ;
you allowed the police to beat men, women, and
children indiscriminately, and you never attempted to
render assistance. Why did you not close in on the
police, and then you could have mastered them.—(A
,
voice, e were not prepared.") I hear a person say you
were not prepared ; why, if you had opened your ranks,
allowed the police to come in, and then have closed upon
them, you would have given them what they deserve,
instead of allowing them to break your heads.—(Cheers.)
If any attempt is made by the police to interfere with
thi-. meeting, keep close—every man to man, and then
if they force it upon you, act on the defensive.
Here Mr. Ernest Jones made his appearance, and Mr.
Sharp immediately gave way to that gentleman.
Mr. JONES said—Brother slaves, and men of the
Tower Hamlets, I am sorry I could not be here before.
I have been attending a large meeting at Paddington,
where, although the police tried to prevent it, we bad a
glorious meeting. My friends,l know the b--y Govern;
went are mad, but they are not mad enoughtopu
down these meetings. If they did, I would hurl defianceat them, their police, and their military. They little
know our strength, but I can tell them they soon w
On the 12th we will show them what we can do.
_On
that day we shall have such a demonstration as has
never before been witnessed in this country. 1- go.i"g
off to-night by mail train to Lancashire or Yorksh ire,

for the purpose of preparing the people in those districts
for that day. I hope you will stand last by your colours,
fur the whole of the country is now looking to London
to ascertain the state of feeling here. I hope you will
not desert your posts if a few poliuemen come amongst
you, for there is danger for those who run, safety for
those who stand, and whatever may be the consequence,
there cannot be more heads broken than there are at
present. Your business now is to organize. Appoint
your class leaders, make your classes, divide yourselves
into wardmotes, get in so thorough a state of organiza-
tion that you may at any moment be ready to act it callwd
upon. I have heard from a very good authority that the
men of Dublin have already commenced, and I have also
been informed that the Government have requested the
newspapers not to insert any accounts of the Irish out-
ureaks. We, therefore, require funds to send a man
to Dublin to ascertain it' such is the case. It is no use
for the Government to put me down, for I shall never
cease agitating until I have procured for the poor man
his rights, and brought the nose of the rich to the
grindstone. On Whit Monday we shall have another
display, another Kennington-common meeting, but not
at liennington.—(Hear, hear, and cheer.) Will Lon-
don do its duty?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") Mr. Jones
concluded by advising them to organize, and in a few
days the green flag would float over Downing-street,
Mitchel and John Frost would be on their way to Eng-
land, and Lord John Russell and Lord Grey on their
way to Baffin's Bay.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Jones and the other leaders then left the ground.
The sight of a policeman crossing the fields towards the
church arrested the attention of the mob, who made
off towards him in a body, evidently resolved to
revenge the attack which had been made upon
thorn in the morning. From a newly Macadam-
ized road in front of the church they procured a
large supply of stones, with which they attacked
the constable, who managed, however, to make his escape,
after receiving many severe injuries. Their attention
was then directed to the church, the windows of which
were speedily broken, the mob having become impressed
with the idea t hat the sacred edifice was filled with
soldiers and policemen. The police, in a body, then
isaisde towards the mob, but their number was so small
compared with their assailants, that they were unable to
quell the disturbances; indeed, in the conflict which en-
sued they were completely beaten, and were compelled
to take refuge in the church. Policeman K 118 received
a dreadful cut across the temple, an inch and a half
long and an inch deep. Policeman K 92 received a blow
across the back of his neck with an iron railing, and the
man who inflicted it was captured after a desperate re-
sistance. Policeman 210 (plain clothes) received a
frightful wound under the ear from a brickbat while en-
deavouring to rescue a comrade who had been attacked
by a man with a large knife. This man was also cap-
tured, as were about sixteen others, and lodged pro
tem. in the vaults of St. James's Church. The wounded
were conveyed to the rectory. house, where their wounds
were dressed by two surgeons, and great attention was
paid to them by the Rev. H. P. Houghton, who provided
wine and other necessaries.

Meanwhile the horse-patrols and a large body of po-
lice arrived, and co:nmenced clearing the fields, a task of
no small difficulty, for the mob was obstinate, and were
deter Mined upon resistance. The police went to work
with vigour, and a large number of persons, between 70
to 80, were severely wounded, and others wore captured
and taken off by the horse-police.
Shortly afterwards a signal was given, and the mob
moved off to Stepney-green, followed by the police.
A most determined spirit is evinced with regard to the
threatened rising on Monday next, the 12th inst. No
arrangements have yet been made as to the place of
meeting ; and the whole affair, it is believed, is to be
kept a secret in the several localities until the morning
of the day when the meeting will be held.
ELEVEN o'cLogx. P.m.—A considerable number of
the police have been ordered off to their several station-
houses, there to remain in reserve in case their services
should be again required. The whole of the mounted
police are also in readiness. Information having
reached the authorities that it was the determination

of the Chartists to hold meetings in the more
distant parts of the metropolis, mounted men
were sent off to Bow, Stratford, Islington, and several
other places, with instructions that immediate notice
should be given in the event of any attempt to disturb
the peace being made. To keep the crowd from again
assembling in Bishop Bonner's-fields required the most
stringent measures on the part of the authorities, and
in the event of the police not being able to manage the
mob, ample provision was made by the military to assist
them. The whole of the Government offices, the Bank
of England, and the Mint were well protected, each
having a treble guard on duty.
Upon making inquiries at the London Hospital it was
ascertained that several persons were severely injured by
the blows from the policernens' truncheons and cut-
lasses, but no fatal result was apprehended. A
great many persons, after having their wounds dressed,
were enabled to walk home.

CAPTURE 07 A CHARTIST LEADER. —Last evening
an individual covered with blood, that flowed from a
wound which, he alleged, had been inflicted by a police-
man's sabre whilst attending a Chartist meeting at
Bishop Bonner's fields, Bethnal-Green, paraded the
principal thoroughfares of the metropolis, followed by a
mob of two hundred or three hundred persons. His
object seemed to be to make public the treatment he
had received, as he stopped at all the newspaper-offices,
demanding interviews with the editors. His beard
had been suffered to grow, and altogether he
presented a most singular spectacle. The crowd became
very great, and as he was in the act of ringing the bell
at Mr. Reynolds's, the publisher, in Wellington-street,
he was captured by two constables of the F division of
police, and conveyed to Bow-street station house, where
he was recognised as Mr. Dunkard, the Chartist, who
addressed the mob from the lamp-post on Clerken-
well-eTeen, on Wednesday night. Mr. Superintendent
Pearce immediately acquainted the magistrates of Bow-
street court, who were in attendance, and, accompanied
by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, they attended at the
station-house, and examined the prisoner. He was or-
dered to be detained. His wounds were dressed by a
surgeon.

THE RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN
MANCEIESTER

About half-past eleven o'clock on Thursday, William
Chadwick, a Chartist lecturer, headed a party of some
fitly or sixty persons, who set out from the New Cross
with the intention of going to Oldham to induce the
Chartists there once more to come to Manchester, and
to avenge their defeat of the preceding day. On the
road, however, most of his followers slunk away, and
he entered Oldham with a very few of his corps remain-
ing. Amongst other disorderly and cowardly proceed-
ings of the mob at New Cross, they attacked any police
constable whom they saw alone, as he was going to duty
or returning home, and in one case a policeman was
severely injured. About 25 minutes after eight o'clock,
as policeman James Gillespie, B 70, was proceeding
from his own dwelling, in Bennett-street, to the Oldham-
road police-station, be was euddenly assailed by a volley
of stones when near the end of Lees-street, Oldham-
road; he was knocked down, and when on the ground
was savagely beaten and kicked by the rioters. Some
of the police coming up, he was conveyed home, where
he now lies much injured, and quite unable for the pre-
sent to resume his duties.

About half-past seven o'clock, a body of several
hundred men and lads proceeded slowly from the New
Cross to the B division police-station, Oldham-road, for
the purpose, as they avowed, of attacking the police
there. At this time, there were not more than 50 or 60
constables in the station; and the mob continued
stationary for about ten minutes, throwing stones, and
apparently endeavouring to provoke the police to raake a
sally, in order to ascertain their strength. At length,
seeing the numbers of the mob rapidly increasing, till
they were about 2,000, Mr. Superintendent Leary sud
denly rushed out, at the head of about 50 of the B divi-
sion, when the mob dispersed, running rapidly in all
directions, and, as soon as the police returned from
pursuing them, assailing the officers with stones, brick-
bats, and other missiles; but taking care to keep at a
distance. As the crowd again advanced, Mr. Leary, at
the head of his men, made a second sortie, and this time
cleared Oldham-road and the adjacent streets.
On receiving the accounts of the disorderly state of
the neighbourhood of New Cross, Captain Willis, with
Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent, Superintendent
Sawley, and a strong body of police of the A and C divi-
sions, proceeded thither, and after clearing the area at
New Cross, proceeded in like manner to clear Oldham-
road, Great Ancoats-street, Swan-street, and the neigh-
bouring streets; and having dispersed the mobs, a
number of the police were formed into patrols of half a
dozen men each, who continued to patrol the district for
some time, refusing to allow the assembling of even
small groups, and thus they prevented the accumulation
of the disorderly in numbers sufficient to form a mob.
At the Borough Court yesterday (Friday), a man
named Christopher Leftwich was charged with having
thrown stones at the police, on the previous evening, in
the neighbourhood of Oldham road. The prisoner was
ordered to find two sureties in 10/. each for his keeping
the peace for three months. A woman named Ann
Gamble, was also charged with having thrown a stone
at a policeman from a house in Oldham-road. She was
bound over in like sureties to keep the peace for three
months.
Last evening, a crowd of loiterers assembled
New Cross and in the surrounding streets,
and
half-past seven o'clock they became so numerous that

sons were coming into Manchester from Oldham. Mr.
Superintendent Leary having previously received infor-
mation to that effect, had marched off with his divison
tothe Newton toll bar, to prevent the people coming in.
A bout eleven o'clock he (Mr. Beswick) joined Mr. Leary
at the toll-bar, and shortly after word was brought that
the people were flocking into Manchester. When it was
supposed that they must have got near to the bar, it was
thought prudent to close the gate, avid the police were
ordered to draw their swords. About ten minutes to
twelve o'clock indications of a procession marching up
from Manchester side became visible, and presently the
prisoner Flynn rushed up to the bar, and in a violent
manner demanded that the gates should be opened, say-
ing that be and the people with him were going on to
the meeting (at Faileworth). There were several hue-
