CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day).

(B afore the Recorder.)

UTTERING A FOR.GRD CHEQUE.—John, 11E'Devitt, aged
37, pleaded guilty to, an indictment charging him with
feloniously uttering to Henry Farey Beeton a forged
cheque for the sum of 101., with intent to defraud.
The prosecutor, in answer to questions from the
learned Recorder, said he bad known the prisoner from
infancy. He was respectably connected, and had been
a commercial traveller. He had lately been in distressed
circumstances, and had a wife and two children t, sup-
port. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to
mercy, believing be had been induced by others to com-
mit this offence.

The prisoner said it was his first offence, and he hoped
his lordship would deal leniently with him.

The learned Recorder said the offence with which the
prisoner was charged was a very grave one, and required
severe punishment, but under the circumstances he sen•
tenced the prisoner to 18 months' imprisonment, with
bard labour.

Peter Suellin also pleaded guilty to an indiotment
charging him with stealing a quantity of oats from his
employers, Messrs. Frost and Co., corn factors, in East-
lane, Walwortb.

The prisoner, who is an elderly man, had been upwards
of 11 years in prosecutor's employ as a carter, at 18s per
week. The practico adopted by him was to take a quan-
tity of corn from what he had to deliver to his master's
customers, and sell it. The prosecutor said he had every
reason to believe the prisoner had carried on this prac-
tice for the last two or three years. lie was sentenced
to 18 months' hard labour.

THE CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION.

Since the memorable 10th of April,lB4B, little or nothing
has been heard of Chartism until yesterday, when it was
announced by the Executive Committee that a grand
demonstration would be made to welcome John Frost to
London. Great efforts had evidently been made by the
committee to produce an effect, and large placards were
posted in the neighbourhood of Holborn, Lincoln's•inn-
fields, and all round the metropolis, inviting the working
classes to assemble in thousands in horour of " the
champion of Chartism," John Frost. The placard also
announced that there would be a large attendance of
flags, banners, and bands, and that the assembled thou-
sands would, at an appointed hour, march through the
metropolis en route to Primrose-hill, where a mass meet-
ing would be held, over which Ernest Jones was to pre-
side, and John Frost was to deliver an address.
The "democrats " of North London were to meet
in Russell-square at 10 o'clock, and proceed
from there, accompanied by their bands, to Lincoln's-
inn-fields. On their arrival at that spot they were to
meet those of the central London and the " foreign demo-
cracy," and at 11 o'clock the assemblage was then to
proceed to Finsbury-square, and there meet the "demo-
crats" of the east of London. The different bodies
having met, a " grand procession" was to be formed
and at 12 o'clock it was to pass through Cheapside, St.
Paul's-churchyard, Ludgate-hill, Fieet-street, the Strand,
Regent-street, Portland-place, Regent's-park, to Prim-
rose-hill, and there to commence "the business of the
day" at two o'clock in the afternoon. Such were the
arrangements of the committee.

At the appointed hour the North London democrats
had not arrived in Russell-square. At half past 10 a
few idlers took up their station at the different corners
of the square, and began to speculate as to the time at
which the " demonstration" would arrive. At half-past
11 the " democrats" were not forthcoming, and the
sightseers, which by this time amounted to about two
hundred, began to declare that "they had been sold."
In Lincoln's-inn-fields the attendance at half-past 10
was very thin, and at eleven there might have been about
300 people assembled, the majority being of the lower
orders. To while away the tedium of waiting the arriva
of " the demonstration " there was a run upon the
stock of the venders of wainUts, and to a nutcracking
accompaniment a " heroic" ballad was sung by three
stentorian voices, from which we extract the folio wing
stanzas :

Cheer up, cheer up my gallant lads,
And baste away my hearties,
To welcome this day with loud huzza,
Old brave John Frost the Chartist.
To London town of high renown
He comes, then gladly greet him,
For every man throughout the land
So joyfully should meet him.
