PLYMOUTH FREE-TRADE ASSO-
CIATION.-DEFEAT OF THE CHARTISTS.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Last evening there was a
large muster at the Mechanics' Institution, in this town,
for the purpose of hearing a lecture on free-trade, from
John Salisbury Trelawny, Esq., the Member for Ta-
vistock. The lecture-room was crowded ; and the lec-
ture, which was an admirable one, was listened to by
all parties with the greatest attention. At the close, a
discussion was started by a Chartist, named Smith, who
did not gain much favour by declaring that he stood
there ready to defend every sentiment that Thomas
Paine ever gave utterance to. After be had spoken the
usual time, he was stopped by the chairman ; and then
another Chartist, named Robinson, rose, and read the
greater part of a long leader from the old Northern Star,
with a view to prove that increased production decreased
wages. He gallopped on at a great rate, with a view to
get through his article, which, as Charles Mathews says,
had " nothing in it," but could not succeed, for he was
also stopped by the general cry of " Time's up." lie im-
plored for two minutes more, but the audience were in-
flexible, and would not accord a minute, whereupon Robin-
son retired, looking very dismal. Mr. Isaac Nichols and
Mr. Nicholson then replied to the Chartists, after which
another of that body, yclept Blacamore, mounted the
form, and advocated the principles of the Charter, which
he contended was all that was necessary to remove all
the political ills which flesh is heir to. A working man,
named Axford, of Devonport, followed, in a remarkably
clever and amusing speech, in which ha told the
Chartists of the advantages that arose to all parties
who gave their consideration to one thing at a time, and
that while he was considering of the good or bad cha-
racter of the corn-laws he was not able to give equal
and undivided attention to the Charter. He, therefore,
recommended the Chartists to have that subject con-
sidered by itself. This closed the discussion, for Mr.
Nichols then rose and moved a vote of thanks to the
lecturer, which was seconded by Mr. Bayley. Smith
immediately moved as an amendment the adoption of the
principles of the Charter, which was seconded by Ro-
berts. After a brief interruption, for the Chartists are
an uncommonly noisy race at other people's meetings,
whatever they may be at their own, the Chairman put
the amendment, when, lo ! there were not twenty hands
held up for it. The motion was carried amidst a tre-
mendous burst of cheers, and after Mr. Trelawny had
returned thanks, and a similar vote had been passed to
Mr. Calmady, the chairman, the meeting separated.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN REGENT-STREET.--Last even-
ing Mr. Higgs held an inquest at St. George's Hospital
on the body of William Powell, aged thirty, carman in
the service of Mr. Hunt, wine-merchant, of Mark-lane.
William Garratt, of No. 47, Tothill-street, said that on
the 15th ult., in the afternoon, he was with the deceased
in the cart driving through Regent-street. Deceased
held the reins, and instead of sitting down on the seat,
very incautiously stood upright, when, in turning the
corner of Leicester-street, he overbalanced himself and
fell upon the pavement. Witness immediately jumped
down to his assistance, but found that one of the wheels
had passed over his head, crushing one side of his face
in a most frightful manner. He was carried without loss
of time to a surgeon, and from thence to the hospital.
Mr. Wm. Potter, the house surgeon, said that deceased
died from the effects of the fall on Saturday last. A
man in the cart at the time of the accident said it was a
sudden jerk against the stone pavement after leaving the
wooden which caused him to be thrown out. Verdict,
" Accidental death."

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SWISS EXCHANGE BROKER.
—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the
Cross Keys, Belton-street, St. Giles's, on the body of
Mr. Francis Soutter, aged 58, a Swiss Jew, and formerly
a bill and exchange broker, wt 11 known in the City. It
appeared that on Sunday week deceased came stumbling
into the shop of Mr. Jones, chemist, 171, High Holborn.
He afterwai di fell on the floor, and whilst Mr. Jones
waa in the act of administering a cordial he breathed his
last. Mr. C. Ravenhill, stockbroker, of Old Broad-
street, said he knew deceased, who was a bill and ex-
change bt oker of many years' standing. lie was much
reduced in c'reamstances, and witness allowed hint the
use of his office to transact whatever little business he
had left. His lodging was unknown, and so were his re-
latives, if he had any. He had left some papers in pos-
session of witness. The Coroner ordered them to be
sealed and delivered over to the Swiss Consul. Mr.
Bennett, surgeon, opened the body, and said the cause of
death was apoplexy. Verdict, " Natural death."
REMONSTRANCE OF THE PROTESTANTS OF BAVARIA.
—A remonstrance and petition of the members of the
Sixth General Synod, held at Anspach, for the purpose
of demanding the redress of several wrongs complained
of by Protestants, have been presented to the King of
Bavaria. The petitioners complain that the Royal Com-
missioners appointed to preside over the General Synod,
following the instructions that had been given them, and
which prescribed that no petition should be deliberated
upon that they had not themselves first approved, had
retained sixty-three petitions in which their griefs were
particularised. After arguing the grounds of their right
to deliberate and petition, they proceed to say—" If
then they have the right of deliberating upon the in-
ternal affairs of their church, and of submitting, through

the intermediation of a superior consistory, the result
of their deliberations to his Majesty, for the purpose of
receiving his Majesty's decision, it is impossible that the
two Royal Commissioners can have the right of retain-
ing petitions addressed to the General Synod concerning
the internal affairs of their church, for it would amount
to an authority to annul and annihilate the constitu-
tional right belonging to the General Synod."
His Grace the Duke of Roxburghe, having deter-
termined on reconstructing the celebrated old deer-park
at Broxmouth, connected with the domain, has taken into
possession that part of it formerly let, consisting of 80
acres of fine land. We understand that it is to be
thrown into grass for permanent pasture, and occupied,
as in days of yore, with the finest and most genuine
breed of deer in the kingdom. What with this, the lake,
and the other improvements on the river and grounds,
this ancient, but now remodelled baronial seat will vie
with any of its extent in Scotland.—Berwick Warder.
