OUTRAGE IN COLDI3ATH-FIELDS,

At nine o'clock on Saturday night, a general meeting
of the National Political Union took place in the ball-
room of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the
purpose of discussing the late verdict, and the subsequent
conduct of Government thereupon.
The Chair was taken by Mr. Roebuck, M.P., and this
large room was excessively crowded.
The CHAIRMAN would not rai-e a question as to the
legality of the CoMath-fields meeting ; but it was a
question whether the mode of dispersing that meeting, was
that which a paternal Government would adopt. Tie
term convention contained nothing in itself illegal, and
who were they who had to determine on what was law ?
Why, a art of ruffians in blue clothes, with bludgeons in
their hands !—,-(Cheers.) In a few days he would say, in
a place where none could attack him for his language,
what he thought on the subject of the verdict.
Mr. O'CONNELL. in strong and powerful language,
dwelt upon the attack made by the recent proceedings on
the strongest barrier of liberty—the trial by jury. From
a thirty-five years' legal experience, he (Mr. O'Connell)
solemnly declared tha' the only verdict the jury could have
come to. was that of " justifiable homicide," if any re-
liance could he placed on the published report of the
evidence.—(Cheers.) He had himself no doubt of the
accuracy of the arcount which had been communicated by
the daily print.. Now, what caused the meeting to be nu-
merous? Why, the Whig Government its-lf ! It was their
preeiona advertisement wi bout a name, purporting to be
by the Secretary or State. It was this that excited curio-
sity, and cau.ed numbers to congregate. He was decidedly
of opinion that the evidence here out the verdict of " jus-
tifiable homic'de," and no honest jury could have returned
any other verdict. He regretted in being compelled to
say that he had no confidence in the present Chief Jus-
tice of the King's Bench. Let the people of England
bear in mind, that this superseding of the verdict was an
impugning of the basia on which' all their constitutional
rights rested.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gee tlemen con.
eluded, by moving the fallowing resolution :
" That the evidence published in the newspapers charges
the Metropolitan Police with violently assaulting a peaceable
meeting of the people, on Monday, the 13th of May ; and if
that evidence shall not be contradicted, such conduct will not
only merit public indignation, but aftbrdsan indisputable proof
that the police force, as at present directed, is at variance with
the peace and welfare of the country,"
M.. I) WAKEFIELD second, d the motion.

Mr HENRY HUNT declared hie rsecirltd opinion, that
unless the evid,rii e could he contradiett-d, the Governmen
had most grossly outraved the liber?y of the subject.
The queqinn wai then put from the chair and carried.

Mr o'CONNELL pledged himself to take. the earlie.o
opportunity to brine ,he matt,r before the House of Corn.
mom.—:(Loud cheers )
followinv r.s.•lutinn. w.,re afterward+ agreed to :

" That this meeting contemplate with the greatest satisfac-
tion the conduct of the Coroner's jury in the Calthorpe-street
• affair, and regard it as highly creditable to them as free Eng-
lishmen ; their verdict being a just recognition of the ancient
and undoubted right to resist evrry forcible and illegal inter-
ference with any peaceable assemblage of the people."
" That the sanction given by persons acting in the name of
some members of the Government to the late outrageous at-
tack on the people—the proclaiming that to be murder which
the jury decided to be justifiable homicide, and the apprehen.
sion that advantage may have been taken of technical defects
in the verdict to mitigate its effects, convince this meeting
that the Ministry are the inveterate enemies of libtral princi-
pies, and afford additional reasons for their no longer retaining
the respect and confidence of the people."
The meeting was then dissolved.

MONEY-MARKET.—The feeling in the city
on the 13,nk question, now that more time has been allowed
for ♦iewing it in all its bearings, appears to be this—that
the objections to it on the part of the public are increas-
ing, while those of the }link proprietors themselves are
diminishing. These latter begin to find that they have
made a good bargain, and commend the Directors for
agreeing to the propositions of Loid ALTHORP. In the
only point that seemed calculated to lessen the value of
their rock, that of the repayment of 25 per cent. on their
capital, they reconcile themselves to it by the reflection
that more than a year must el ipce, to August, 1834,
before that can take place, and they indulge in the hope
that ere then the other num• roux advantages conferred by
the new Chsrer will more than counterbalance the ineon-

venience of it. The stock, consequently, is rapidly nn
the advance; it was yesterday (Friday) at 192 to 194,
.• and /eft off this (Saturday) afternoon at 198:1,- to 199.
• The objections to the plan out of the circle of Bank pro-
prietors and private bankers seem to apply chiefly to the
great danger of abuse in the power thus conferred on the
Bank of England, which may, it is conceived, ultimately
obtain i^r them the whole banking business of the country,
since there u ill be no real impediment to their es•ablishing
brand', bank., one only beyond the metropolis, but in
Lornbard-street, Temple-bar, and St. James's-street.
Many inconveniences also, not at first thought of, are
anticipated from the making bank-note, a legal tender,
especial!) in the distant country towns anti districts,
where meal) change and a metallic circulation to a certain
extent is indiapenslble, These in all cases will be with
great difficulty obtainable under the new law, as the local
banker, finding no necessity for gold, will send the whole
up to London to be employed at interest. The holder of
a 5/. country note applying for change will have in lieu
of it another 51. note, payable, it is true, in specie, but at
* place perhaps 200 miles distant from him, and tlrereiore
of en use. o:ber banks may be formed to meet this
contine.lncy, who will offer to give specie for all the notes
they issue, but then the effect will assuredly be that of
Snaking gold bear a premium in all places far distant from
London. These are the chief retnat ks which have been
current to-day (Saturday) on the subject; as the plan
becomes further considered, other objections to it may
possibly arise among our practical men, which we sh
nut fail to notice. Lord At.TFIORP'S project does not
appear to have impeded in any way the progress of joint-
stock banks previously in a stare of preparation, but
rather, on the contrary, to have accelerated them proceed-
ings. A meeting of the cononittce for the natiorral hank,
lately proposed, was held to day (Saturday) for the pur•
pose of closing the snh•cr;ptiuns anti duly constituting
themselves a bank.—Times.

Potatoes tnly be kept good all the year
by
dipping them in h.tiling w.iter, as the Scorch
by killing the living principle, and as the term iK s‘t near
the skin it would not burst the potatoe. One minute, or
two at most, world be quite sufficient. In an open-
9/..rketi basket a ton may be cured iu an hour; after which
they must be dried in a coding oven, and laid up in sacks
in a dry place, secure from the effects of frost.—/Vew
