(Before the Recorder.)

UTTERING A FORGED CuEQUE.—John M•Devitt, aged
37, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with
feloniously uttering t 3 Henry Fany Beeton a forged
cheque for the sun: of 101., with intent to defraud.
The prosecutor, in anqwer to questions from the
learned Recorder, [...aid be I,a,i known the prisoner from
infancy. He was rs.,speciably connenti•d, and had been
a commercial traveller. lie had lately Ih2en in distressed
circumstances, and had a wife aad two c!iddren t 3 sup-
port. The proecutor recommended the prisoner to
mercy, believing he had been induced by others to com-
mit this offence.

The prisoner it wai his fir,t offonm and ha boped
his lerdship wen hl &al leniently with him.
The learned Recorder sail the offence with which the
pri.oner was charged was a very grave ore, and required
severe punishment, hut under the eireniwttanes he sen-
tenced the prisoner to IS mmtli,' imprisonment, with
hard labour.

Peter Suellin :Lisa pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing a quantity of oats fro►n his
employers, Messrs. Frost and Ca., corn factors, in East-
lane, Walwortb.

The prisoner, who is an elderly man, had been upwards
of 11 years in prosecutor's employ ai a c ►rter, at 18s per
week. The practice adopted by him was to take a quan-
tity of corn from what be 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.

bilAtoNstitArrOW,

In Tite Sua, of yesterday we gave an account of the
progress of the Chartist procesAon, but from the con-
fusion that prevailed cn Primrose-hill were unable to
report the speeches. The following is an outline of the
proceedirgs :
Oa Mr. Frost and the committee appearing on the
top of the bill,
Mr. Ernest Jones was called to the chair, and he
opened the proceedings by saying that the day on which
they were met was a day of note in the history of labour.
In Moscow, the metropolis of the east, a procession of
willing slaves had been paying homage to the oppressor.
In London, the metropolis of the west, this was a pro-
cesdon of men desirieg to be free, who had gone to pay
homage t ) the oppressor's victim. Nor would this be
no:rely a vain ceremony--the effect of that demonstration
would reverberate through Europe. Its immediate re-
sult would be that two or three reformed measures would
be broug%t forward in Parliament, for the governing
elass,A woe!!! say, "These Charti-t are getting str
again, and if we do nut give them a sop to stop
their mouths they will gain the public mind." (Cheers.)
They bad been emducting that movement for many
years, and by his side he said he saw the living evidence
of their e.)mt,tocy and their sufferings. (Renewed cheer
mug.) Every other party—every other class—has tried
its hand at reform measures. Each has promised pros-
perity to the people ; but which of them bad been able
to realise those promises 'I After having tried all, and
all had failed, they, who had r.ever given up the field,
stepped forward prominently before them, saying,
"Support us, rally round us, adopt the people's charter,
and prosperity will be the result." (Cheers.)
The ode having been sung, Mr. James Finlan pre;
sented an address to Mr. Frost, which was received
with great cheering.
Mr. Frost having received the address, which was
printed in gold on green satin, then replied as follows :
Brother Chartists, I accept with much pleasure your kind
congratulations on my return to my native country, and
be assured that I set a proper value on them. lam
convinced of their sincerity, and nothing shall be wanting
on my part to continue to deserve the confidence of ties
working men. On principle and humanity I have ever
taken the part of the weak against the strong,
.when I
believed the weak to be right ; and to be held in re-
membrance by the industrious classes gives me more
real satisfaction than anything the wealthy and powerful
could bestow. It is the leading principle of that reli-
gion which I profess—this was my practice when I held
situations of power, to succour the oppressed, and I
shall do so while life remains. (Cheers). Forty years ago
I became convinced that the miserable state of our
country, and of its industrious inhabitants, was occa-
sioned by the law-giver, by the corruption of the House
of Oommone, and I did all in my power to point out to
my neighbours the cause of the evil and the remedy.
The only remedy, as it then appeared to me, was to re-
cur to the principles of our ancient constitution, which
principles are embodied in what is now called the
°barter. (Gt eat applause). I saw the demoralising effects
of the present mode of electing members of the House
of Commons in my native town. In the year 1837, on
the accession of Queen Victoria, I was the mayor of
our borough and the returning officer. At that election
I believe that 20,0001. were spent, principally in brib-
ing the electors, in corrupting society in its very found-
dation, and I was obliged to receive the votes of men
whom I with good reason suspected bad received money
from both canetlates. (Applause). During the agitation
for the Reform Bill I warned my countrymen that the
thing was a humbug, that it would put the same sort of
men into the house as those who occupied seats under the
borough system ; and I have lived to see the day when the
ablest writers in England have declared that since the
Reform Bill became the law of the land the members
elected under it were greater imbeciles, and more dis-
honest, than any elected under the old system. (Hear,
bear). Bitter as was the hatred which I formerly
felt for the men who oppressed and impoverished
my country, it was nothing in intensity compared
to what I feel at present—(hear, hear) ;—and base,
indeed, must I be if, after witnessing the sufferings
and depravity of my countrymen in Van Diemen's I
Land, there occasioned by the laws, I did not exert
every power I possessed to change a system which,
unless altered, and speedily too, will bring down on the
nation the vengeance of that God who, for crimes of the
same kind, produced, too, by the merciless severity of
the lawgiver, destroyed the fairest spot in the world.
(Cheers.) lam greatly pleased to find that the Chartists
of London and its suburbs place confidence in my inter
rity ; that confidence shall not be disappointed. (Ap-
plause.) Let our organisations be preserved where they
exist, and let others be formed where there are none.
When the parliament meets we shall be able to place
our cause before it in such a manner that the enemies of
the people will not be able to resist our claims. (Cheers.)
They are founded on justice; the powers possessed by
the House of Commons are usurpations, obtained at the
expense of those principles which deputies ought never
to have violated ; and the poverty, misery, .and crime
which now afflict our unfortunate but beautiful country
are to be attributed to these usurpations. We play for
a great stake—for life or death—let the game be played
skilfully. (Bear, hear.) Let us be cool, but determined
—prudent, but fearless—giving up no principle—satis•
fled with nothing less than our due, and we may yet live
to see our country once more bearing and deserving the
name of " merry England." (Continued applause and
cheering.)
Mr. lIENRETTE then moved a resolution, in favour of
the adoption of the charter.
Mr AMBROSE TOMLINSON seconded the resolution,
which was put and unanimously agreed to.
Three cheers were given for John Frost, and a similar
honour having been accorded to Mr. Ernest Jones, the
meeting separated.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ROO-YELL, OF

LAMBETH.

Last evening Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East
Surrey, and a highly respectable jury, aseemhled at Mr.
Day's, the Eight Bells Tavern, Cross-street, Blackfriars-
road, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances
connected with the death of Mr. Richard Palmer Rou-
pell, aced 74, a gentleman well known in Lambeth on
account of his immense wealth and liberality towards the
poor.
The Coroner, in opening the proceedings, said that he
apprehended the case did not call for any particular ob
servation from him, beyond the fact that Mr. Roupell
was found dead in his bed. He had, however, ordered
his friends to get the body opened, so as to satisfy his
family as to the cause of death.
Louisa Maria Hannan, a widow, said that she was
housekeeper to the deceased, who resided at 18, Cross-
street, his family residence being Aspin-house, Brixton-
bill. Be slept generally at Cross-street, but on Sunday
nights at his country house. She was the only person
who resided with him in Cross street. On Friday last,
about twenty minutes to seven o'clock, she went into
his room to see whether he required anything, when she
found him, as she supposed, in a comfortable sleep. As
she did not hear him breathe, she went round to the bed-
side and found that he had died. She immediately sent
for Mr. Clarke. who proceeded to Dr. Barlow, and
brought him back in a cab. She had been told by the
family some time before, in the event of the deceased
being taken ill, to send at once for Mr. Clarke. De-
ceased had a prescription from Dr. Barlow, but no medi-
cal gentleman attended him at his own house. On
Thursday Mrs. Roupell and his son William were with
h:tn, and lie took some gruel in their presence. They
left about half-past ten o'clock, and she saw the decease('
into his bed. After his family had left he said that he
should like some more gruel, and witness made him
some, consisting of the best meal and milk. During the
night he appeared very restless, but not more so than on
Wednesday, and she heard him as late as between four
and five in the morning. Witness considered that the
deceased was ill, but not dangerously.
By the Coroner.—She had lust a kind friend and good
master, and so had a good many others.
Mr. John Shea, M.D., said that he had made a post
mortent examination of the body, and found that death
had resulted from serous apoplexy, brought on from na-
tural causes, and not from anything taken.
Mr. Clarke deposed to the deceased having been
greatly annoyed, owing to some lawsuits and a fire that
had taken place on his farm.
The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death from
serous apoplexy."

LETTERS TO AND FROM BRITISH NAVAL
AND MILITARY FORCES.

General Post Office, 13th Sept., 1856.

The Lords of her Majesty's Treasury have, by war-
rant, repealed the reduced rates of postage to which the
correspondence of commissioned, nou-commissioned
or warrant officers, soldiers, seamen, and other persons
in the service of her Majesty, engaged in the late war,
as well as the correspondence of officers, soldiers, and
seamen serving in Greece or in the foreign legion at
Heligoland, were liable during the war ; and all letters
addressed to, or forwarded by, the several classes of
persons in whose favours those reduced rates of postage
were established, will hereafter be chargeable with full
postage as ordinary letters.

In like manner, the arrangement made in October,
1355, under which the privileges of the book post were
extended to the British forces serving in Turkey, Greece
the Black Sea, the Baltic, or the White Sea, to the
foreign legion stationed at Heligoland, as well as to
seamen serving in the transport service in Turkey and
the Black Sea is now repealed.

The privilege which seamen and soldiers employed in
her Majesty's service, and seamen and soldiers em-
ployed in the service of the East India Company enjoy
of sending and receiving by the post letters not exceed-
ing half•an-ounce in weight, subject to certain rules and
restrictions, will, however, remain unchanged.
By command of the Postma,ter-General,
ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.

ROYAL CREMORNH GARMINEL—This evening a grand
fete, in aid of the workmen who suffered by the fire at
Messrs. Broadwood's, is announced at these gardens.
We are informed that several novelties have been added
to the usual entertainments, to make the evening a gala
of no ordinary kind. An amateur company will appear
in Lovers' Quarrels and The Turned head. On former
occasions the efforts of this little corps have been libe-
rally responded to, and it is reasonable to hope that their
good intentions on this occasion will meet with a similar
reward
