GREAT
CHARTIST MEETING
ON KENNINGTON-COMMON.
(THIS DAY.)

It is gratifying to record that the great demonstration
reported in our last edition passed off without any
conflict with the police or military. The proceedings
were brought to a close at about half-past two o'clock,
and a vote of thanks having been awarded to the chair-
man, the meeting began quietly to disperse, a proceeding
which was greatly facilitated by a heavy shower of rain.
The resolutions given in our last edition were all passed
without a dissentient voice, and with the loudest demon-
strations of applause•we ever heard. The chairman, who
at the close again implored the multitude not to give way
to any violence, to exhibit moral force alone, was in-
structed to convey the nature of the resolutions to the
Ministers, and to convey their reply to a meeting to be
hereafter convened by him. In a quarter of an hour the
common was clear, and the people made the beat of their
way, through the pelting rain, to their dwellings.
The movers in the proceedings adopted a wise course
when they abandoned the idea of advising the people to
march en masse to the official residence of the Prime
Minister, in Downing-street. Bloodshed, if not loss of
life, must have been the inevitable result of-such a pro-
ceeding, for both the police and the military bad, we un-
derstand, received positive instructions to resort to ex-
treme measures to prevent anything in the shape of a
procession.
After the meeting had separated wet, but in peace,
the police patrolled out of their hiding-places, and after
marching to and fro a little, were trotted off home. The
military in ambush did not show themselves. It was
said they would not file of till nightfall. The fact of any
of the military being is the neighbourhood seemed
totally unknown to the inhabitants—even the " oldest"
one—in consequence of their having been se-
creted long before the break of day. Detachments
of the police were obtained from nearly all the divisions
in the metropolis and the suburbs. A small number of
one division were stowed away in the vaults of the
church in the Waterloo-road, and we were told that they
spent the time somewhat merrily. In consequence of
so many of the police having been withdrawn from
other portions of the town, some thieves took advantage
of the circumstance and turned it to their profit. We
were told that a pawnbroker's shop in Southampton-
street, Camberwell, was broken into, and that a great
number of gold and silver watches and a quantity of
plate were stolen. The windows were broken, and the
other property much damaged. The absence of the
police was much complained of ; there was not one to
be seen or obtained, and the proprietor armed himself
and his assistants with guns and pistols, and prepared
themselves for any second attack that might be
made. A toy and comb shop in the same street, we
were told, was also robbed. Several other robberies
took place.
The, inauspicious state of the weather has done more
to clear the streets than the 4,000 police on duty, and
the 200 or 300 soldiers—horie and foot—ready, during
the whole day, at a given signal, to start from their
ambush upon the multitude on Kennington-common.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. CURRIE,
THE PRINCIPAL DEPUTY• CLERK OF THE

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

We feel the greatest sorrow in having to announce
the sudden death of Mr. Currie, the newly-appointed
principal clerk of the House of Lords, which took place
to-day shortly after four o'clock. Mr. Currie was
in his place in the House of Lords this morning
having for the first time to-day been employed
in the discharge of the duties of his new appointment
In the early part of the morning he appeared cheerful
as usual, and about twelve o'clock went to his private
room to transact some business connected with his
office, accompanied by one of the gentlemen of
the [louse ; while there he was suddenly taken
ill, and requested that his son might be sent for ; the
gentleman left him to send off a messenger for that pur-
pose, and on returning to the room he found Mr. Currie
on the floor, in an apoplectic fit, and totally unconscious
of all around him. Medical assistance was im.
mediately sent for, but all human aid was
found to be quite in vain ; the unfortunate
Gentleman's consciousness never once returned, and he
expired shortly after four o'clock. In the death of Mr,
Currie, the House of Lords sustains the irreparable loss
of one of its most valuable officers, his family that
of a kind and affectionate parent, and society
an honest, useful, and amiable man. Mr. Currie
had filled for many years the office of second clerk of the
Parliament, and by his engaging manners and obliging
disposition had endeared himself to a wide circle of
friends. His death has created a blank that will not
easily be filled up. His remains are now lying in his
own private room at the House of Lords, awaiting a
coroner's inquest.

ELECTTON COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
AYLESBURY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
The customary formal proofs having been put in, it
was established upon the evidence of Mr. Robert Gibbs,
the editor, proprietor, and publisker of the Bucks and
Aylesina y News, that at the last election an agency sub-
sisted between several parties who gave orders for the
treating and the sitting Member.

Martha Rhodes, the waitress and chamber-maid at the
Crown:lnn, Aylesbury, proved that Mr. Deering's Cora-
mittee he'd its sittings in a room at the Crown. Re-
peated dinners werelgiven there, when Mr. Deering and
a large number of his friends were present. A great
number of Committeemen, Electors, and others, had
wine and refreshment there every day during the elec-
tion, free of expense.
Lucas Jacock proved, that he got a ticket from one of
Mr. Deering's Committeemen, named Bedford, which he
afterwards changed for three pots of ale at the George
Inn.

Other witnesses gave evidence of treating and bribery
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow.

HARWICH.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
John Manering, an elector at Harwich, proved that
on the day of the nomination and the day of election
he, together with a number of other voters, were at the
Duke's Head, in Harwich, where they were supplied
with as much drink as they required, free of expense.
They went up in a body to vote for Mr. Attwood, headed
by a band of music. They all plumped for Mr. Att.
wood, who, after voting, accompanied them to the Cups,
where they were again liberally treated.
James Pritchard, landlord of the Royal Oak, proved
that similar practices prevailed at his house. His bill
amounted to 251., which was paid by Mr. Hastie, an
agent of Mr. Attwood.
Other witnesses gave similar testimony, and the evi-
dence for the petitioners closed.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLIKE then summed up, contending
that the allegations of bribery and treating had been
fully established, after which
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at eleven
o'clock .

BE W DLEY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
The witness Bennett, upon cross-examination, said he
agreed to Ackroyd's proposition, because he thought he
might just as well have a cheap ride as not. At the
time he went away he had 3/. in his pocket, besides the
51., although when he left Bewdley he owed 141. for rent.
lie was a shoemaker and constable, but had not been
dismissed from the office of constable. The county
superintendent told him that he had better not act again,
and he replied, " Very well, I am very glad of it, for I
do more for nothing than you do for your salary." It
was untrue that the reason he and Stubbs did not go to
London was, that the porter at the station would not let
them get into the train.
Thomas Parkins was recalled, on behalf of Mr. Ire-
land, to prove that both Bennett and Stubbs were drunk
when he carried them to Birmingham. Stubbs was so
drunk that he was unable to articulate properly, and on
the road both of them were so noisy that he was
glad to give them more liquor to get them to sleep.
Upon reaching Birmingham, both of them insisted
upon going up to town, but on the road to the
station they passed a house kept by a priae- fighter
and insisted upon going in, where they had a considerable
quantity of porter, for which he refused to pay, and
Bennett paid the money. They then went to the station,
where he procured two tickets for London, but upon
their appearing on the platform, the inspector on duty
seeing they were so drunk refused to allow them to go
by the train. Both of them then retired to a waiting-
room, and having slept there for three quarters of an
hour, he awoke them up, and started them off by the
Rugby train. It was at their own request he took them
to Birmingham, upon a promise from Mr. Ackroyd that
he would reimburse him the expenses.
The Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-
morrow morning.
