conclude that never was Aberdeen so flourish-

Wilson's entertainments on Thursday and Friday
lust. We must attribute this, however, rather to the
high talents and great popularity of this eminent
vocalist, and to the very attractive nature of his en-
tertainment. Mr. Wilson was in excellent voice,
and we certainly never heard him sing with
greater effect, nor listened to him with greater de-
light. On this occasion too, in addition to a choice
selection of old and established favourites, he in-
troduced a number of sons , entirely new to us ;
among which were some of th
of his enter-
tainment, from the works of Sir Walter Scott, by
which ho has this season gathered fresh laurels in
the metropolis. Among these may be mentioned
the serenade, " Love wakes and weeps," from the
Pirate, a graceful, flowing melody, with an accom-
paniment in imitation of a guitar, exactly such as
we might suppose Cleveland to have played and sung
under the w indow of Minna Troil. The spirited
ballad of " Young Lochinvar" was given by Mr. Wilson
with great spirit; and to a fine sparkling melody, tha

is on an equality with nearly all the daily newspapers.

CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION.
KENNINGTON COMMON.
A portion of the following appeared in our Fourth and
Fifth Editions of last night:—
About half-past two o'clock the waggons which had
previously contained the petition and the members of
the Convention were drawn off the common and for-
warded to a livery stable in the neighbourhood.
We have been present upon various occasions 01
contested elections in the borough of Lambeth and
elsewhere, and we are most decidedly of opinion
that the number of persons present on the
common did not at any time exceed that which we have
seen upon other occasions. It is a matter of congra-
tulation that the demonstration has ended so peaceably.
Too great praise cannot be bestowed upon the autho-
rities for the manner in which they have carried out
their arrangements. There was not a single person
connected with the police or military force present
upon the occasion to offer the slightest disturbanceor in-
duce the least provocation. A person on horseback, how-
ever, rode several times round the common, and informed
the people in the most courteous manner, that immediately
upon the meeting
breaking up the persons present
would be expected to disperse quietly and peaceably.
We believe that not a single accident worthy of note
took place throughout the whole proceedings.
At the conclusion of the meeting on the common it
was announced by Mr. E. Jones, from the waggon, that
a meeting would be held to night at the South-London
Chartist Hall, in the Blackfriars-road.
It is satisfactory to state, up to the time of our going
to press with this Edition, that no disturbance of the
public peace has taken place. The demonstration has
passed off as peaceably as we stated we believed it
would, in writing our reports for the earlier
editions of The Sun. Up to this hour it would
seem that the apprehensions of an outbreak have not yet
left the minds of the public, as the shops which were
closed in the morning remain so now, with very few ex-
ceptions. Lamy- be said with truth that business has been
almost suspended in the leading thoroughfares of the
metropolis during the whole of the day. The special
constables remain, with very few exceptions, at their posts,
and many will not be relieved of their duties until nine
o'clock, or even later, should any outbreak be intended.
The conduct of the demonstration in not going in pro
cession is spoken harshly of by many unthinking per-
sons, who no doubt would have been gratified had it
been our painful duty to have announced loss of life as the
result of what, considering the determination of the
Government, would have been foolhardiness in the
extreme. The proceedings in the Convention to-
morrow, after the " split" of to-day, will be more than
usually interesting.

PRESERVATION OF THE PEACE
OF THE METROPOLIS.
From the commencement of the day the authorities of
the Home•office were in constant communication with
the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, the
Horse Guards, the Electric Telegraph, Mansion-house,
and other public offices and authorities in the city of
London and Westminster for the preservation of the
public peace, and preventing riot and tumult on pre-
senting the Chartist petition. The extraordinary num-
ber of special constables who came forward on this
occasion fell very little short of 250,000 persons of the
most respectable class of society. The Lord Mayor was
at the Mansion-house for the purpose of receiving com-
munications and acting as circumstances might require.
The Royal Exchange was closed to the public, but
formed a rendezvous to about 1,000 special constables and
police. The Hall of Commerce was another resort for
the police and constables under the direction of Captain
Back and Mr. Bannister, the celebrated butcher to her
Majesty. The South Sea House, Haberdashers,
Drapers, Merchant Tailors, Grocers' Goldsmiths',
and other City Companies, were supplied with a large
number of police and constables ready to act. The
plan adopted for the protection of the City wards was
admirable, and the instructions given:to the City Com-
missioner, as to the respective positions to be taken by
the officers under his control, who were distributed in
different divisions under this superintendence, proved
extremely convenient for communicating with the Lord
Mayor. The gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, with
their white ribbons round their arms and staves,`marched
through the City as far as Blackfriars-bridge, an=l
remained there until the information arrived of the
breaking up of the meeting. It is most gratifying to
know that the most complete preparations were made at
all points for the protection of property and life. The
police at all parts of the town were arranged in the most
Judicious and effective manner. The special constables,
as a body, acted with perseverance; the appearance of
the civil power is peculiarly English, and forms a re-
markable difference with all foreign proceedings, com-
posed as they are from the peer of the House of Lords
to the hard working coal whipper on the Thames, each
defending his own liberty, property, and fireside. If it
is possible to judge from the conduct of the citizens of
London, nothing can be more certain than that rioters
would very soon find out that they had miscalculated
their chances of success in London. The health of the
Queen and the royal family was drunk at all the public
places by the special constables, and the utmost loyalty
appeared to reign throughout every ramification of the
different departments.
In addition to the above precaution, at an early hour
four detachments of the Pensioners arrived by steam-
boats at Blackfriars-bridge. Two detachments imme-
diately occupied the end houses of Chatham-place, over-
looking the river and commanding the bridges; and the
other two occupied the Royal Hotel and the Equitable
Assurance Office. Bridewell was also occupied by a
detachment of the Grenadier Guards. The demeanor
of the troops and pensioners was admirable. They all
evinced the most perfect steadiness and good temper.
They seemed to feel that they were performing an im-
portant duty, and kept themselves ought of sight in the
most unobtrusive way possible.
We have reason to believe that the Lord Mayor and
the Commissioner of the City Police had an interview on
Sunday at the Ilome•office, with Sir George Grey and
the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, when
final regulations were made as to the course to be
adopted, and placed in the hands of the autho-
rities, and throughout the whole of Sunday night
the principal officers of tho City force were occu-
pied at the several stations in preparation to carry the
instructions into effect. Apart from the innumerable
special constables, who assembled at the various
wards under the Aldermen, and the greater part of
whom was provided with staves and armlets ; upwards
of 2,000 of the younger and more active " specials "
were selected by the Aldermen, and placed in direct com-
munication with the City police under the Commissioner.
This latter body had received instructions to take up
positions at the Cross Keys in Gracechurch-street, the
Royal Exchange, which was placed at the complete dis-
posal of Mr. Harvey, and Bridewell Hospital ; and as
they mustered at the several places of appointment they
were immediately marshalled into bodies of 100 each,
and again subdivided into twenties, and placed under the
command of captains and sergeants of their own selec-
tion with inspectors of the City police force controlling
the whole. At eleven o'clock the police and special
constables marched in large bodies to the three bridges,
and took up their station there, in immediate conaniuni-
cation with the metropolitan constables, who attended
at each in great numbers. As from previous com-
munications it was inferred that the Chartists would
proceed with the petition from Kenningtoa common to
the House of Commons over Blackfriars-bridge, that
station was the point at which the most formidable
resistance was contemplated. It was generally believed
in the City that the Government had determined at the
latest council to offer no obstacle whatever to the assem-
bling of the people at Kennington-common, or to their
progress from thence with the petition to whichever
bridge their movements might indicate their intention to
pass over ; but that it was resolved that every resist-
ance should be offered to any greater number than ten
of the petitioning body going over any bridge ; such
resistance to be left, in the first instance, to the manage-
ment of the civil force, the military to be called upon in
the event of the inadequacy of that power, for which
purpose most formidable bodies of cavalry and infantry
were stationed in the neighbourhood of the bridges, but
out of the sight of the people, under the special com-
mand of General Bro:herton.
The wish amongst numbers of the special constables,
who were thus crowd, d together in enormous masses,
was, that those who caused so much annoyance to them,
and such serious injury to the trade of the metropolis,
might be " pitched into," and there were certainly not
a few who expressed an anxiety to be engaged in inflict-
ing summary punishment. Most assuredly the arrange-
ments made by the city authorities were such as to
justify a larger or nobler object, for it is scarcely pos-
sible to exaggerate the exertions and sacrifices which
have been made by all classes in the city. The conduct
of the police and the special constables will, we under-
stand, be the subject of a commendatory resolution in
the next Court of Aldermen. It was a source of
much gratification to the citizens to witness the
cordial co-operation, and the absence of all jealousy,
between the Metropolitan and City forces. The Com-
missioners of the Metropolitan police and the Commis-
sioner of the City police were observed in frequent com-
munication on Blackfriars-bridge during the early part
of the day.
MARYLEBONE.—Yesterday the greater part of the day
was taken up by the swearing in of special constables,
and from ten till five no fewer than from 400 to 500
persons, the majority of them being of the highest re-
spectability, received their appointments from the sit-
ting magistrate.
THE PARISH OF ST. MARTIN'S-IN-THE-FIELDS.—
Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock,
the special constables of this parish assembled in the
vestry room, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey being the
commanding officer. There were about 2,000 sworn in.
They were arranged in ten divisions, under the com-
mand of captains and lieutenants, and patrolled the
various streets throughout the parish, being relieved
every two hours.
THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES, WESMINSTER.—TIIO
special constables of this parish met in the vestry-room
adjoining the church. The Earl de Grey was chosen as
their command officer, and the Earl of Eglinton was the
second in command. There were about 1,500 sworn in,
the greater zaajority of whom remained in the church-
yard. About two o'clock, Mr. Osbrirne, the Member for
Middlesex, arrived; and stated that the proceedings at
Kennington common were at an end.
Sr. GEORGE, IiANOVER•SQUAR:E.—There were about
4,000 special constables sworn in for this parish. About
eight o'clock, the Earl of Strafford, the general, and the
Earl Delawarr, the leader, arrive' 1 at the board-room of
the workhouse, Mount-street, Ilarover-square; at which
time a large body of the special co nstables were present.
They were formed in eight divisions, under the command
of the Duke of Leeds, the Earl of Lucan, the Earl of
Ilarrowby, Viscount Cantilupe, (,Dolonel Griffiths., Mr C.
Stokes, Mr. T. Dowbiggin, and Mr. Arbor. con-
stables were arranged in sections, and patrolled the
various streets of the parish.
WANDSWOIITII.-011X,r,Bedton attended to

this court for several hours, and with the assistance of
Mr. A. Taylor, the chief clerk, swore in some hundreds
of special constables. Yesterday Mr. Paynter attended
long before the usual time, and was completely besieged
by persons of all classes desirous of acting as special
constables. The whole of the students at the College
of Civil Engineers tendered themselves, and were ac-
cepted us special constables.
LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, Mr.
Elliott, who was magistrate for the day, arrived at the
court, and shortly after a vast crowd of respectable per-
persons were in attendance to be sworn in as special
constables. Amongst the gentlemen who attended were
Messrs. Maudslay and Field, the extensive engineers in
the Westminster-road. Mr. Maudslay, addressing Mr.
Elliott, obierved he was sorry to see in a morning paper
that it had been asserted by some of the speakers at the
Convention that it was the intention of his men to join
in the Chartist procession. This he (Mr. Maudslay)
believed to be untrue, and the best proof of this was,
that not more than forty of the men, out of upwards of
700, were absent from their work, and this number on a
Monday was not at all unusual.
The whole of the parties in the employment of Messrs.
Ciowes, printers, in Duke-street, Stamford-street, nearly
300 in number, were also sworn -in as specials.
