of their lives, and ie was a miracle that many we
not thrown down and trod len under foot. The screech-
ing of women, the shrill cries of children, and the belb
terous exclatuatiens of the men baffles description,
whilst amidst the general confusion men were to be
seen flourishing sticks around them to Clear a
space for the orators, and in close proximity to the heads
of those around them. Ernest Jones, with a boaqict of
flowers in his limed, mounted on the shoulders of two
seurdy " points of the Charter," and begged the "sove-
reign people " to keep back, but all to no put.
pose the " voice of the Syren " was heard
in vain, and a tremendous rush from the op.
posite side of the crown of the hill, sent the others to the
bottom with a narrow escape of their lives. The huge
mass continued to surge haakward and forward,
side-ways, and in every conceivable direction,
sled upwards of an hour elapsed before anything
occesred, and when the various speakers a ldressed the
meeting it was impossible to attempt to report their
speeches, in fact the lives of the reporters were more than
once in imminent peril. Seeing the utter impossibility of
taking notes, and having a due regard to their safety,
which on various occasions was threatened, the reporters
with great difficulty forced their way through the dense
mass of people, and left the place. Of all the meetings
we have attended we never recollect witnessing such
disgraceful conduct, which can only be accounted fin
from the assemblage being composed of the lowest clan
of "roughs " with which tJd a metropolis abounds.
The following address, which had been previously
printed, was presented to Mr. Frost :
" Respected Sir and Fellow Chartist,--We are glad that
we may take this opportunity to thank you for your ins,.
timable services, and to congratulate you upon your re.
turn to your native land after an exile as protracted as it
was dishonourable to these by whom it was necessitated.
We congratulate you, too, that you were able to
sustain the trials and indignities of that exile
with such exalted and dignified composure; such cones
posare, indeed, which it is seldom tho lot of humanity to
witness. The heroic vindication of your deeds, the expos
sure of the misdeeds of the people's enemies, of those who
became your enemies, because you championed the irate•
rests of those whom they oppressed, are acts which
still hold a prominent place within the memory of
your countrymen, and we, the Chartists of Lou-
don and Its suburbs, in connection with the
representatives of Continental Democracy, avail ourselves
of this gracious occasion, this happy and auspicious hour
of your return, this significant and eventful day, to declare
our gratitude to you for those acts, and to make known
our joy at your proclaimed disposition to work again for
the removal of those wrongs which fifteen years sin*
prompted you to the performance of such acts.
"It is refreshing, sir, in this day of blasphemy and re-
proach, in this day of political apostasy and compromise,
to know that while we have had men who publicly re-
cognised our cause, and who have since succumbed before
the fiery blast of persecution, or forfeited the future
greatness of being true for the present advantage
of being rich, that we have you amongst the
number who have bravely endured the cross,
despised the shame, and still foster fealty to that faith
which our doctrines, the doctrines of the poor have engen-
dered, and which, sir, the sufferings of all have sanctified.
Permit us, then, to bid you welcome. We do so as strap.
gets to you in person, although we are by our common
cause familiar to each other. By the influence
of the justice of that cause, are we now, and
still hope to be united. From this day we take up new
hope. We do so from the circumstance by which it shall
be marked. Your name, associated as it is with the wor-
thiest of worldly objects, is, while it calls us to a sense of
both a duty and a right, so suggestive of the highest
aims and purposes of men, that we accept your
presence amongst us this day as an earnest of
future weal, as a guarantee, sir, that there shall
yet be attendant upon the necessary efforts of the people,
those fair and happy issues for which the philanthropic of
the world have worked. And, guided as you are by your
long experience, attached as you are to that cause, the suc-
cess of which will be equivalent to the manumission of your
fellow men; accredited as the advocate ofjustice to all, gain-
ing vigour even from your sufferings, and love and sanction
from the poor for whomyou have especially worked, thought,
and suffered, we recognise in you those high and rare attri-
butes, those peerless parts which make the patriot, and
render you, sir, as one fit and destined to rank amongst
the deliverers of nations.
" May our whole hope and partial prophecy be realised.
May the evening of your life be soothed and solaced by
the operation of that beneficence which will be the result
of your country's liberation from the detrimental dominion
of those sectaries, both political and theological, that have
flourished for so long a period, and that to the material
injury of your country's people.—Regard us, dear sir, to
be your friends and admirers,
" THII CILIJITIESSI or Loin:tom him ITC SUBURBS."
After the delivery of several speeches, which were in-
audible beyond a yard of the speaker, and resolu-
tions agreed to, the mob dispersed. Mr. Frost,
Mr. Ernest Jones and others then repaired to the Edin-
burgh Castle in the neighbourhood, and concluded the
business of the day.

As the Chartist mob was passing Pall-mall about 2
o'clock to-day, Miss Bella Copeland, of the Haymarket
Theatre, who accidentally became mingled with the
crowd, had her pocket picked of her purse and all the
money it contained.
