CFIARTIST MEETINGS.
Meetings were hell yesterday in Bishop Bonner's
Fields, Bethnal-green, and in Cumberland-market,
Regent's Park, for the purpose of electing delegates
to the new Chartist Convention. The proceedings
were utterly devoid of interest. Some persons also
visited Kennington-common, under the impression
that a meeting would come off there, but they were

disappointed.
BIRMINGHAM, Goon FRIDAY.—The election of two
delegates to represent the Chartists of Birmingham
in the National Convention to be held in London, on
Monday next, took place to-day. It was at first in-
tended-that it should be an open-air meeting on a
vacant space of ground in the neighbourhood of
Lombard-street, but in consequence of the unfavour-
able state of the weather, it was by placard removed
to the People's Hall, Loveday. street. From thence
it was again adjourned, in consequence of the weather
becoming fair, and the. Chartists from Loveday-street
removed from that locality to the other in a straggling
procession. The delegates were then duly elected,
and the memorial to the Queen for the removal of
her Ministers adopted.
MANCHESTER, APRIL 21.—Simultaneous meetings
were held to-day at Manchester, Salford, Ashton,
Staleybridge, Mottram, and Oldham. The meeting
here took place at ten o'clock this morning in Smith-
field-market, Manchester, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the National Convention in London.
Mr. Mitchell, of the United Irishman, and Mr. Smith
O'Brien were among the delegates unanimously
elected on the occasion. A memorial to the Queen
praying the dismissal of the Ministers, and the ap-
pointment of those who would carry out the points
of the Charter, was adopted.
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, APRIL 20.—The Chartists
held a meeting at the Central Hall this evening,
which was attended by about 600 working men. A
memorial, addressed to the Queen, was agreed to,
praying her Majesty to dissolve Parliament, dismiss
her Ministers, an I call to her council men who would
make the People's Charter a Cabinet measure. The
conduct of Government was pretty sharply discussed ;
prophecies
her Majesty's Ministers declared to be abandoned and
numerously uttered

EDINBURGH. —Another Chartist demonstration
took place yesterday (Wednesday evening) in the
Waderloo-room, which was nearly filled. The
meeting was called for the purpose of hearing Ernest
Jones, barrister, London, and James Adams, of
Glasgow, delegates from the National Convention.
Mr. Adams first addressed the meeting. lle was
followed by Mr. Jones, who declared for physical
force whenever the Queen refused the memorial that
was to be sent, demanding her to dismiss her Ministry,
and call to her councils men pledged to the six points
of the Charter, or when the first blow was struck by
the Government; and if the revolution they were to
accomplish became an insurrection, the Crown would
have to take its chance among the tumbling things of
the British constitution. He described in glowing
colours the El Dorado to which the Charter would
introduce them, and called on the people to arm in
defence, spoke of disaffection in the army and the
nation, and adopted as his own every treasonable
word uttered by O'Brien, Mitchell, and the Irish
patriots. his harangue drew down the most exces-
sive and violent cheering, especially the revolutionary
effusions. Dr. Hunter also addressed the meeting,
when a scene of confusion ensued, evidently caused
by some disagreement as to the legality of his election
as a delegate, among the leaders of the Chartist party
in this city, and after many interruptions he was
obliged to give way, After a vote of thanks to the
delegates and the chair, and cheers for their leaders,
be meeting separated quietly.—Caledonian Mercury.

ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS.
On Thursday, according to annual eustom, a meeting
of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Martin in-the-
Fields was held in the vestry-room adjoining the church,
for the purpose of nominating churchwardens for the
year ensuing ; Mr. W. U. Dalton, senior churchwarden,
presided. Messrs. Palmer and Jarvis having been
nominated as churchwardens, the following letter from
the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, in answor to a resolu-
tion passed at a meeting of rate-payers, thanking him
for the judicious arrangements made by him for the
preservation of the peace on the 10th instant, and for
the energy, discretion, and courtesy displayed by him
as leader of the special constables in that parish, was
read:—

" 11, Carlton terrace, Saturday, April 15, 1848.
" Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a copy o

the resolution; adopted unanimously by athe rate-payers
of St. Martin-in-the• Fields, at a meeting held in the
Vestry-room on the 14th inst.
" I will feel much obliged to you if you will take the
first convenient opportunity of returning my warm
thanks for this most gratifying expression of cordiality

and good-will on the part of so many friends and neigli.
boors.

" I am convinced that it will be, to the last hour of
our lives, a most agreeable and happy reflection, that by
the ready assemblage of a great body of our fellow.
citizens the capital of our beloved country was saved,
through the means of all-guiding Providence, from
scenes cf bloodshed and confusion. With that gratitude
which we must all feel to God for this great blessing,
we shall find our confidence increased in the power and
stability of that form of government under which we are
placed, and to which it is our duty to be bound.
" In thanking my friends for the honour they have
done me, I should be guilty of great injustice if I did not
acknowledge the great perseverance and untiring interest
taken by my friend Captain Mayne in the onerous
details of our organization, as it was to his ability and
experience we were indebted for the order in which we

acted.
"I must also render my willing and sincere testimony
to the skill, readiness, and clearness with which the
arrangements were carried out, by gentlemen who
proved themselves most able to discharge the duties
which the necessity of the case called for. I cannot
forget the kindness of my friends Mr. Dalton and Mr.
Palmer, the churchwardens, or the kindness of those
gentlemen who were elected by their fellow parishioners
as leaders of the several divisions into which it was
thought expedient to divide our forces.
" 1 have the honour to be, your humble servant,
"ARUNDEL AND SURREY.

" To Mr. Farrant, Vestry Clerk."
Mr. STAUNTON moved that the letter and the resolu
tions be entered on th© minutes, which was carries
unanimously.
In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said that Sir
Henry Dukinfield, the vicar, was preparing an address
to her Majesty, which would be submitted to a meeting
of ratepayers on an early day, as it would be most dis-
respectful if that, the royal parish, and the first to set
the example of swearing in special constables, did not
do so.

A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman,
he meeting separated.

THE CANTING BUSY-BODY.—This specimen is re
a numerous and persevering class, nearly allied to
that of genuine hypocrites. The principal characteristics
are as follows :—A strong disposition to sigh and groan,
as if in deep tribulation, while they are, in fact, as happy
as their neighbours. A constant habit of professing that
they are fallen, wicked creatures, who cannot be saved,
though they practise all the cardinal virtues, if they
have not faith ; and that they can and will be saved,fatih_.
