CHARTIST MEETINGS.

MANCHESTER.—A meeting of the Chartists of this city
took place in Smithfield Market, at two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The meeting was convened by placard, ex-
tensively distributed, for the purpose of giving expres-
'ion to the full and undivided confidence of the Chartists
in the " National Convention " now sitting in London,
and to express their determination to stand by the body.
At the time appointed for the meeting the entire square
was completely filled. The numbers present were va.
riously estimated from 20,000 to 60,000. Without ven-
turing to be exact in the matter, we have no hesitation in
saying that it was decidedly the largest meeting held in
Manchester for the last thirty years, excepting only,
perhaps, the single exception of the memorable meeting
of Peterloo, in 1819. _ _

The chair was occupied by a working man, named
WILLIAM GROCOTE, who briefly addressed the meeting,
and enjoined order and attention to the several speakers.
JAMES MITTAL, a working man, moved the first reso-
lution, expressive of confidence in the Convention, and
pledging the meeting to stand by them at all hazards,
and under every emergency. He declared, and he should
always cry for, " Up with the people, and down with
tyrants." After adverting to the recent events on the
Continent, he reminded them that they were assembled
there that day to contend for the same principles for
which Arthur O'Connor had been banished from his
native land fifty-six years ago, and for which poor
Henry Hunt had died broken-hearted.
The speakers who had already addressed the meeting,
and some others, then got on to another cart at some
distance from the hustings, and addressed the crowd,
which was quite as dense, from both places at the same
time, the speaker turning his back upon the Chairman,
and speaking to those furthest off.
GEORGE ARCHDEACON, a delegate from the Irish Con-
federation,eunanei read the resolution. He said he had just

with meetings of former days, very thinly
Mr. Baldwin, a member of the Town
pre-
sided. The speeches were of the usual c:earater
combined with strong attacks upon the Govelnuaen;
for the cour,e which Sir George Grey and his col-
leagues were said to have adopted with regard to the
proposed meeting on Kennington-common. A resolution
expressive of the c.mfiderice which the Birmingham
Chartists repose in the delegates they have sent to the
National Convention, and to the effect that if they should
be arrested by the Government, they would elect
efficient successors, was unanimously adopted. All
went off peaceably, and the assemblage broke up about
halfpast three o'clock. Another meeting is to be held
this evening. The civil and military authorities are
fully prepared to protect the public peace. Additional
troops and two pieces of ordnance have arrrived in Bir-
mingham, and the magistrates were engaged this morn-
ing in swearing in special constables. There is no ap-
prehension of tumult entertained by the inhabitants, but
still laudable caution has been evinced by the Mayor and
other authorities.

STATE OF THE PROVINCES.
THREATENED DISTURBANCES.
In addition to the very effective and successful ar-
rangements made by the authorities for the preservation
of the peace of the metropolis, the Government, we are
happy to say, took the wise precaution of preventing
the diffusion of groundless and exaggerated reports and
the creation of unnecessary alarm throughout the yeti•
ous parts of the country, by taking possession of the
telegraphs, and prohibiting their being worked by pri-
vate individuals, by which, from mistake or watunness,
the most mischievous results might have been produced.
We are happy to be enabled to say that the information
received from some of the most important provincial
towns was of such a character as to dispel any appre-
hension of a disturbance of order.
The following communications by electric telegraph
were received by Sir George Grey down to half-past
seven o'clock yesterday evening :
From Liverpool to Sir George Grey:—
" There is no truth in the statement about the rails
having been interrupted or pulled up here.
" St. Matthew's Church has been burnt down to-day
by accident—overheating the flues. I send this informa-
tion to prevent misrepresentation. The town is quiet.
A Chartist meeting is to be held in Queen-square this
evening, at six o'clock."
From Manchester to Sir George Grey :
" All is quiet here at present. We see no grounds
for:apprehension. Four s'.si."
The Secretary of the Midland Railway Company to
Sir George Grey :
" The meeting at Nottingham has just broken up
peaceably, and has adjourned until two o'clock on Wed-
nesday next."
From the Mayor of Manchester:--
" No meeting of any importance has been held hero
to-day. We have no excitement hero, and have been
quiet and peaceable throughout the day. There is no
apparent ground for apprehension."
From the Mayor and magistrates of Leeds:—
onda Six P ..
" Tranquillity prevails here, and the peace isM not
threatened. A meeting of about 6,000 people has just
broken up peaceably. Similar communications have just
been received from Bradford."
From the Mayor of Liverpool:—
" The meeting, consisting at the utmost of 300 per-
sons, has just peaceably dispersed, and the special con-
stables, consisting of the most respectable inhabitants,.
have been dismissed amidst the most enthusiastic and
long-continued cheering for the Queen."

THE LAW OF RIOTS AND UN-
LAWFUL ASSEMBLIES.
(Abridged from the Legal Observer.)
At a time when the peace of the metropolis and Oaf
other great towns in the kingdom has been threatene d
or disturbed by riotous and unlawful assemblies, which
have attracted the attention of both Houses of Parlii
ment, it may not be considered inopportune to advert to
the state of the law upon this subject.
All the text writers endeavour to establish a distinc-
tion between a riot and unlawful assembly ; but, when
their definitions are scrutinised, and their correctness
tested by their application to aajudged cases, it must be
admitted that the boundary line between an unlawful.
assembly and a riot is not very satisfactorily defined_
Without adopting precisely the definition to be found in
any of the books, we may, perhaps, venture to suggest, that
a riot is a premeditated assembly of three parsons or more.
accompanied or followed by some circumstances of
violent or turbulent nature or character, tending to
create apprehension or terror; and that an unlawful
assembly is a meeting of several persons, under
such circumstances as seem calculated
to en-
danger the public peace. To constitute either of-
fence, it is not necessary that there should be actual
personal violence committed ; and an assembly :may
unlawful, although not accompanied or followed by any
circumstance of a violent character, if it be a meeting
for a purpose which, if executed, would render the
parties rioters. A meeting may Le riotous, whether
the Purpose for which it assembled b., lawful or
unlawful. In the case of the Queen v. Vincent, Mr.
Baron Alderson is reported to have said Any
meeting assembled under such circumstances as, accord-
ing to the opinion of rational and firm men, are likely
to produce danger to the tranquillity and peraco
of the neighbourhood, is an unlawful assembly, and in
viewing this question the jury should take into theirl.
consideration the way in which the meetings were held„
the hour at which they met, and the language uset!si,,,Y;
the persons assembled, and by those who addressed
them, and then consider whether firm and rawo:,,t.
men, having their families and property there,fte
have reasonable ground to fear a breach of

is.

nary to allude,aP.i
reciting the mischiefs of tumultuous petitioning, enact a,
that no person shall solicit the getting of hands or
other consent of any persons above the number of
twenty, to any petition, &c., to the King or the Houses Of
Parliament, for alteration of matters established by law- in
Church and State ; unless the matter thereof shall h; tve
been first consented unto and ordered by three justices, or
by the major part of the grand jury, or in London by t he
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council; anti that ao
person shall repair to his Majesty or the Houses of Parl: .a-

ceeding 100/. and three month s' imprisonment ; such offence
to be prosecuted in the King's Bench, or at the assizes or
quarter sessions, w ithin six months. and proved by two
credible witnesses. It was contended in Lord George
Gordon's case (Doug. 571), that this statute was im-
pliedly repealed by the Bill of Rights, which declares
" all commitments and prosecutions for petitioning
illegal ;" but Lord Mansfield said, it was the unanimous
opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench that the 13th
Car. 2 was in full force. Perhaps the next statute in
order and importance is the Ist of George 1., statute 2,
c. 5, which is generally known as the Riot Act. It is,
perhaps, scarcely necessary to add, that, although read-
ing the Riot Act, as directed under this statute, renders
offences liable to more severe penalties, the meeting may
be riotous and illegal at common law, without reading
any proclamation, and without any reference to the
Riot Act.
The next statute in point of order is the 39th of
George 111., cap. 79, against secret societies, which,
after declaring that certain societies named shall be
suppressed, proceeds to declare societies, the members
of which take unlawful oaths, or where the names of
the members shall be kept secret, or where there are
divisions or branch societies, unlawful ; and persons
corresponding•

• 'George 111., c. 19, contained many enact-
ments of a temporary character, together with provisions
of a different
sectionu at
si,nthfoarte
The • h
societies taking unlawful
oaths, &c., and electing committees or delegates, shall be
deemed unlawful combinations and confederacies, and (by
section 28) persons permitting unlawful meetings of such
societies, or of any division or committee of them, to be
held on their premises, are subject to a penalty, and, if
licensed, to be deprived of their license.
The 60 Geo. 111., and 1 Geo. IV., c. 1, prohibits
meetings and assemblies for the purpose of training,
drilling, or practising military exercise without lawful
authority, &c.
The latest of the statutes to which we deem it neces-
sary to call attention, is the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 30,
which enacts (by section 8), that persons riotously
assembled, and unlawfully demolishing, destroying, or
pulling down, or beginning to demolish, &c., any
church, chapel, house, building used in trade or
manfacture, or machinery proposed for or employed
in any manufacture or mine, shall be guilty
of felony, and suffer death as a felon. The beginning
to pull down, as mentioned in the Act, means
a demolition of a part with intent to demolish the
whole ; and it seems it must be proved that
some part of the freehold was destroyed ; and
it is not enough to prove that window-shutters or
doors were demolished. Attempting to destroy a house,
by setting fire to it, is within the Act. Under this Act
(by sec. 26), principals in the second degree and acces-
sories before the fact, are punishable in the same manner
as principals in the first degree; and accessories after the
fact are liable to be imprisoned for any term not exceed-
ing two years.
The statutes above briefly enumerated, and others of
more ancient date, to which it does not seem so
necessary to direct attention, are merely in aid
of the common law, which authorises proceedings,
not only by magistrates, sheriffs, peace officers,
constables, and others, but by private persons, for
restraining and suppressing riots. Magistrates are,
of course, peculiarly required and expected to restrain
riots and take the rioters into custody, and for this purpose
they may call upon any or all of the Queen's subjects to
assist them, which they are bound to do upon reasonable
warning. The duties of private persons, as well as of public
officers, in cases of this nature, were stated with much
ability and precision by the late Learned Chief Justice
Tindal, in his well-known address to the Bristol grand
jury, after the riots of 1831.
[lt is this Act which is referred to in the Police
Commissioners' notice, issued on Thursday.]

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
CAMBRIDGE, APRIL B.—The gold medals given an-
nually by the Chancellor of the University to the two
commencing Bachelors, who having obtained the degree
of Senior Optirne, at least prove themselves the greatest
proiicients iu classical learning, were this day awarded
to-1. Chas. Brodrick Scott, Trinity College. 2.
Brooke Frost Westeott, Trinity College. Old Trinity
has, since them institution of these prizes, in 1751, an
immense majority over the other colleges in the number
of its scions who have borne them away, and among
whom may be found some of the brightest ornaments of
the University, and their respective eras.
CORPUS COLLEGE. Joseph Neville White, and
Charles James Carrow, have been elected Scholars of
this Society.
The Rev. W. Dickson, 8.A., 1846, has been presented
to the perpetual curacy of Goostrey, county Chester.
CATHARINE HALL.—The Rev. Thomas Henry Lister,
8.A., 1847, has been appointed to the living of Ludding-
ton, Lincolnshire.

CHRIST COLLEGE. The Fellows of Christ College
hare agreed to and presented an address of congratula-
tion to 1)r. Graham (master) on his promotion to the
bishopric of Chester. The Bishop's reply has since been
received and read in the College Hall.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT Carl 3.
At the monthly meeting of this club, on Thursday
night, the members were occupied until a very late kour
in making alterations in the club laws, and other maAers
of interest to the yachting world; Lord A. Paget took
the chair.
After the transaction of some routine business, in the
course of which Mr. Wheeler, the treasurer, communi-
cated the gratifying intelligence that the club bad
upwards of 2751. :in hand, besides 5001. vested in the
Consols,

Lord A. PAGET briefly explained thatin consequence
of a larger class of vessels having been rendered eligible
to contend in their future matches, it sad been found
necessary to make considerable alteratiotie in conformity
with the new arrangement, in the club Irv's. The sail-
ing committee had bestowed great attaitiofi upon the
matter, and had suggested the alterations which he was
about to submit to their consideration.
The Commodore (Lord Alfred) then went through
the whole of the laws, which it had been found necessary
to revise, putting each to the vote separately, after
affording every gentleman an opportunity of expressing
his opinion. There was, however, but very little discus-
sion, and very trifling alteration, the whole having been
so admirably framed, as to meet with general approval.
The substance of the alterations are as follow : —ln
accordance with the vote of the special meeting, con-
vened about a fortnight ago, the maximum tonnage
of yachts eligible now to sail for club prizes is
increased from 25 to 50 tons, half a minute time
being allowed. The value of the prize for the first
class is 601. The second class consists of yachts from
12 to 25 tons, the' prize being 601. The third class
consists of those under 12 tons, and the prize for which
is 301. In neither of the two latter is there any time
allowed to compensate for deficiency of tonnage. Should
a boat of the second class come in ahead of all
those of the first class it will receive the most valua-
ble prize, and in that case, the first of the largest
boats which comes in after it, will take the prize
intended for the second class, the same rule will apply
with reference to the third and second class, unless
there are four of the first and three of the second
classes enter, and two start, the prize for that class will
not be given. Should it occur that from this reason
there is no race with the largest class, then there will be
a prize, value 301., given as a second prize for the second
class, provided five enter and start. With respect to the
small class (under twelve tons) if two enter and start,
theltprwizaes will be
debegtievre
mnined that the Strangers' Prize be
increased to 100/., open to all yachts belonging to Royal
Yacht Clubs, and instead of being limited to 50 tons,
half a minute per ton being allowed for difference of
tonnage ; vessels of any size to contend.
The first Match of the season was appointed for
Monday. the 29th of May. Entries to close a week
previously.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION..—EIGHT HOUSES BURNED.
—Yesterday morning a fearful fire, attended with con-
siderable destruction of valuable property, broke out
shortly after three o'clock, upon the premises of Mr. J.
R. Kendall. coffee-shop-keeper, situate No. 33, Goswell-
street, Clerkenwell. The firemen exerted themselves to
confine the flames to the premises then on fire, but they
speedily communicated with the extensiveback

houses and lofts belonging to Mr. §chaee elenfektheer, oilmanenginea

for some hours, when they at length got the mastery
over the flames, but not until the majority of the above
houses were nearly destroyed.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL—On Sunday morn-
ing a sermon in aid of the funds of the above charity was
preached by the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Lichfield at
St. John's Church, Clapham-rise. In the course of a
very eloquent appeal, the Reverend Prelate warmly
advocated the interests of the charity (which since the
foundation in 1840 had distributed its manifold blessings
to upwards of 106,250 destitute creatures), and at the
conclusion of Divine service a collection was made
amounting_. to 591. 9s.
THE UNEMPLOYED IN GLASGOW,—We regret to
learn that the list of unemployed is increasing, and the
total who have enrolled now amount to upwards of 2,400,
with the usual average of dependents. Of these,
perhaps, a half have been set to stone breaking, weaving,
railway work, &c., and the remainder are assisted by
daily rations of soup and bread. A large number who_
have no claim on the city have been sent to Ireland.
Generally speaking, the patience and endurance of thesed
poor people are above all praise ; but a few of them have
resorted to the plan of holding meetings and speechify-
ing
on the Green, with no sane attemptthat we can
discover. After what has already occurred, the
authorities have wisely resolved to put down these
assemblages, which gather round them all the thieves
and vagabonds in the city.—Glasgow Herald.
ARRIVAL OF SPECIE.—The steam-ship Columbine,
from Havre, has brought two boxes of Igold coin, ad-
dressed to two individual firms in the metropolis.
