this kind of connexion. They had a similar account
with Mr. Wm. Mariner, who held at the time the
situation of . secretary to the National Brazilian
'Mining Company.; and ~who had done business at a
former period on the Stirk Exchange. Mr. Mariner
having some acqaaintance, as he states, with Solari
(though without- knowledge- of his pursuits; except
that he had speculations in the funds), applied to
as he alleges, for part of his brokerage busi-
ness, and was accordingly employed by him, from
April, 1838, 'to obtain loans on the deposit of Ex-
chequer bills ; ,and Mr. Mariner accordingly entered
into arrangements on the subject with Mr. F. T. De
Berckem, a stockbroker and member of the Stock
Exchange; by whose intervention (as agent nominally
for Mr. Mariner, but with knowledge that the latter
was employed by Solari and Rapallo) all the loans
were procured, Mr. Mariner and Mr. De Berckein
dividing the remuneration (which was at the regular
and customary rate of half per cent. per annum)
between them. Through this channel, in addition to
that' of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, Solari, and (after
him).Rapallo,. succeeded in depositing from time to
time, with different parties, large masses of the bills
received from Smith ;- and conducted at the same time
through the same medium, extensive speculations by
way of purchase and otherwise, in the stock and share
market. The nature of these dealings will be fully
collected from the accounts, pp. 456 to 358, and 417.
to 425, and Mayo's evidence, pp. '325 to 329 ; but
they are so similar to those which haVe been already
described in the case of Messrs. 'William and James
Morgan, that to dwell upon them longer in this-place
would only lead to wearisome repetition. The most
material points of difference seem to be, that Messrs.
Mariner and De Berckem charged'commission on the
Exchequer. bill loans, as well as on the stock trans-
actions ; and that though they profess to have known
nothing of Solari, except as above stated, nor of
Rapallo, except as the agent of Solari, they represent
the former as giving a somewhat more specific account
of his position than he is stated to haVe done to
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and to have asserted that
he was " connected with parties in Madrid and Paris,
who were carrying on a large speculation in Spanish
and other stoeksf Messrs. Mariner and De Berckemadmit, hoWever, that they _were never employed in
any instance, by Solari or Rapallo, to sell .an Exche-
quer bill, and that they never received any informa-
tionas to the manner in which the bills deposited were
procured.
These transaction.; of the confederates with Messrs
W. and J. Morgan On the one hand, and Ma-
riner and De Berckem on the other, would appear to
have constituted the principal means by which. they
carried the fraud into effect. We find that the ad-
vances procured by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan,
amounted in the aggregate, from first to last, to about
420,0001., and those .of Messrs. Mariner and De
Berckem to about 465,0001., and that there were bills
in the hands of those parties or their depositaries at
one and the same period of time (namely, at the dis-
covery of the fraud) to the amount of 330,000/. ; of
which bills'to the amount of 161,0001.. had come from
Rapallo to, the. hands of W. and J. Morgan, and.
bills to the amount of 169,0001. to those "of Messrs.:
Mariner and De Berckem. 'lt is also. important.
to remark that among the transactions to Which
the 161,0001. relates,. there is one which involVed de-
posits to a very large amount simultaneously; for it
appears on the. evidence of Mr. W. 'Morgan, that on
the 13th of October, 1841, Rapallo being then :in-
debted to him in the amount of 70,0001. and upwards,
applied to him for• fiiither advances, to the extent: of
60,0001. more ' • which Mr. Morgan COnsentedlo I pro-
cure, and, in fact, procured accordingly. • 'There is,'
however, no .proof that Messrs. W._ and J... Morgan
and Messrs. Mariner, and De Berckem, though both
so largely concerned with bills proceeding from the
same source, had, as regards those bills, any know-
ledge
of, or connection with, each other. •

WATSON'S GENERAL TELEGRAPH OFFICE, 83, '
CORNHILL, LOND-)N, AUG. 19, 1842.—Passed through
the Downs this morning her Majesty's yacht Royal
George; from Portsmouth, bound to Woolwich. Wind
at the Downs S.W., very light.
THE CORE VITRIOL THROWERS.—This morning
Timothy Herlei's-. Daniel Sullivan, John Drew, and.
Daniel Lonergan, the four men sentenced to transporta-
tion fur life at the lite assizes for throwing vitriol at Mr.
Wilson, were removed from the .city jail, on board the
Eagle steamer, lying at Merchant's quay, for conveyance
to the convict depot, Dublin. They were escorted by a
strong detachment of the 10th Hussars, and a numerous
police force, the entire under the direction of Captain •
White, Justice of the Peace. The crowd assembled was
immense, but there was not the least disposition to riot, .
and when the vessel left the quay at eleven, the multi- •
tude quietly dispersed.—Cork Reporter of Tuesday.
KENMORE.—The news of the expected Royal visit
to Taymouth Castle, which transpired on Saturday last,
has caused a great sensation. It brought back the Noble
Marquis from the hills, just when commencing the
season. The preparations for the occasion are chiefly
confined to out-door exhibltions, for which purpose some
hundreds of the tenantry and fitllowers are to be
equipped in the clan:tartan, and disciplined so as to re-
present the following of an ancient chief. Their services, ;
however, will be chiefly required for the grand stag I
hunt, which it is understood will take place at the Black
Mount, and will be shared in by Prince Albert. Her
Majesty, it is' understood, will spend most of the two 1-
days appropriated to the visit, in enjoying the unequalled
walks and scenery around the Castle ; including a boat-
ing excursion on Loch Tay. The battery, on the hill
facing the Castle, is undergoing revision, and will wel-
come her Gracious Majesty and Consort with a volley,
which will startle the deer on the Black Mount. This
is a long prothised visit, it is said, on the part of her Ma-
jesty, the description given by her Royal Uncle, King
Leopold, of the gratification he received at Taymouth
many years ago, having increased the desire to witness
its unequalled scenery. The Royal party will arrive on
Tuesday afternoon by the Bishopric-road ; and leave by
the Crieft and Taybridge-road for Drummond Castle,
on the Thursday fullowing.—Perthshire Courier.
PLAGUES OF POPULARITY.—A popular man iS a
butt for all the world to shoot at. He is uni-
versally applied to in all manner of distresses, by those
who do know him and those who do .not. There is not
a " widow with seven small children," a respectable.
tradesman "overwhelmed by a concentration of untoward
events," a clergyman whose " expenses have exceeded
his income," or an elderly Maiden escaped in her chemise
from the " late calamitous fire," who does not make him
acquainted with their respective misfortunes, and look to
him for relief. The Duke of Wellington, we dare be
sworn, has received more letters fro:n the widows of the
officers slain at Waterloo, than ever fell in all his cam-
paigns ; there is nut a successful actor on the stage who
could not furnish his quota of correspondence with self-
dubbed Thespians, dated from half the gaols in England.
But if your. popularity be literary, there is positively no
end of the persecution. Every day brings its epic or its
drama, its novel in three volumes, or its voyages in two,
with a modest request to wade through the ill written
MS.. criticise; amend with a preface, and recommend to
li publisher, or to friends for subscription.
CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLB IN THE MANUFACTUR-
ING DISTRICTS.—The mobs of the cotton manufactur-
ing districts are a much better' behaved class than all
other sorts of mobs. They are also, perhaps, better
dva3 with by the authorities, and the two conditions to-.
gether render them less terrible in their proceedings
than is usual with rioters. As a proof of this, I may
refer you to ivliat believe to be the fact, that notwith-
standing- the vast extent of the turn-out, and the great
numbers that have engaged in it, far exceeding in this
respect anything I have ever seen in my experience,
which has not been trifling, of such movements, the ac-
tual injury done to property in this toWif and the vici-
nity, up to the present time, will not exceed 500/. Else-
where a few hours of commotion destroys thousands.
We now been at it nine or ten days, and the de-
struction is confined almost to broken windows. I think
there is so general an organisation for security of
the higher and middle classes, that nothing very bad
will happen. I hope and believe that the Magis-
trateS are influenced by such a: spirit of forbearance to-
wards the people, that they will not be urged to any
necessaty severity to suppress the excitement. Steadi-
ness, activity,
,and patience, I think, will restore tran-
quillity in a few days, without recourse to violent means.
The movement, however, is characterised by features
that should produce serious reflections on the social state
of the great-masses of the community. It clear that
the labouring classes, -of every trade, are now united
Under a system of organiSation, which enables them to
act for a common object with more promptness, and to
a greater extent, than has ever been thought practicable.
The power this gives them is sure to increase—there is
no preventing the increase ; it is certain, in the end, to
acquire a magnitude that will affect the existing institu-
tions of society. Whether the influence will be for rod
or for evil, will depend on the intelligence and virtue
with which it may be directed. Attention to the cha-
racter of the masses has been too much neglected. This
outbreak, I trust, .will show the Government the danger
of delaying their education.—Letter. in the Chronicle.
CatEFF.--The intelligence of the Royal visit to
Drummond Castle, has caused a great sensation in this
district, as, independent of the feelings of loyalty which
will be 'gratified by a passing glimpse of our young
Queen, the preparations for the suitable reception of the
Royal party are likely to benefit in various ways this
locality. In the first place, the Noble Lord and Lady
Willoughby. have ordered two hundred of the finest
boking young men on their estates, to be equipped in the •
clan tartan, at their expense, with full accoutrements.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING, -SEVEN
o'CLocx.—Leach, the Chartist agitator, has been
I arrested at his residence in Oak-street. • On a copy of
the, seditious placard being laid before the borough
Magistrates, an information was yesterday laid against
the printer, who was apprehended. From the state-
ment of various persons made before the Magistrates,
a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Leach,
who calls himself the " President o 1 the Executive
. Council of the National Charter Association," and
who. keeps a small book-shop. At eleven o'clock,
Superintendent Beswick, accompanied by other able
officers, proceeded to his residence, where they found
and apprehended him. Mr. Beswick said he had a
warrant against him, which he would read if he
wished. Leach said he did. Upon which Mr. Bes-
wick read it, but he made no observations. On
being searched the only thing found in his pocket
was a paper on which was written with pencil,
" Please show the benefit,: that will be derived from
the Charter when we get it.—W. White." He was
then removed in safe custody to the Tovvn-hall. A
warrant was also issued by the county Magistrates
• against a man of the name of John Gear, who is said
•to be receiving 355. per week for acting as Secretary
to the Dyers' Union in this towii. The warrant Was
placed in the hands of Inspectors. Lipaett and May-
•bury, who, accompanied by a detachment of police,
proceeded to his residence in Sackville-street, Port-
land-street. On obtaining an entry they found that
the man had escaped, but they took into custody an
old man who was on the premises, and ' seized a
number of papers, which they conveyed to the Town-
hall along with their prisoner. Dr. 11PDouall, for
has, it is understood, left the town ; as also Feargus
whose apprehension also a Warrant has been issued,
O'Connor, who came in a cab this morning, accom-'
panied by the Rev. Mr. Scholefield, to the station of
the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, and booked
his way through to London.
Another address from the delegates has been circu-
lated round the town, of which the following is a copy :
" TO TIIB PEOPLE OF MANCHESTER AND THE SUE-
ROUNDING DISTRICTS.

us we are determined to stand firm and united till we
carry into full effeet the resolution agreed to yesterday."
" The following resolution was carried unanimously:
" Resolved that we recommend the trades of Man-
chester and the surrounding districts immediately to
form Committees in their respective localities, to carry
out the resolution we came to yesterday, with in-
structions to issue bills and give us credit until such
time as they resume work again. ,In the meantime.
We most earnestly call upon you to send in your con-
tributions to the Executive Committees unanimously
elected by the Delegates this morning assembled.
Time is precious, decision and energy are most es-
sentially necessary at the present moment; for the
future we shall be governed by events. A short time,
we are convinced, will prove that this movement is
national. Rally round the standard you have raised--
stand firm—do your duty—and we will do-ours."
(Signed by the Chairman and Secretary.)
After the separation of the meeting of Delegates,
in Tib-street, yesterday, another meeting was held
at a room in Brown-street, usually occupied as a lec-
ture room by the Chartists. At this meeting the fol-
lowing singular resolution was adopted :
" That we recommend to the trades of Manchester
and its surrounding districts immediately to appoint
Committees to act in unison with the resolutions
passed yesterday, whose principal duty shall be to
issue bills, payable within a certain time, to be given
to provision dealers, and others, who may be disposed
to give us credit till we resume our labours. In the
meantime we most earnestly call upon you at once to
send in your contributions to the Executive Com-
mittee."

At this meeting the representative of the plasterers
stated that the painters and joiners had resumed work,
and that as the plasterers had good wages, and had
no quarrel with their employers, they had r esolved to
return to their work on Monday morning, They.
were of opinion that the Charter never could be ob-
tained unless . the people returned to their employ-
ment. A long conversation ensued as to the means
of defraying the necessary expenditure connected with
meetings of the delegates, and also as to the means of
providing subsistence for those who refused to return
to their work. Several speakers wished, on the part
of their constituents, to go in, as they had no honest
means of supporting themselves and their families
until the Charter was obtained, but others expressed
their determination at all hazards to remain out of
work until the, Charter was obtained. Some. dele,
-gates were represented as -misrepresenting to their
constituents the proceedings of the' delegates, and
others were stigmatized as the instruments of the
Anti-Corn-law League. A delegate, who represented
. the sawyers of Manchester, increased the despondency
of the meeting by reading a resolution of his consti-
tuents to the meeting, that as the carpenters and
joiners had returned to work they thought it.useless
to remain out any longer. The greater part of the
meeting appeared discouraged at the apathy of their
constituents, whose -contributions . were both few
end small. Another delegate taunted the company
that all their movements were characterised
by cowardice, inconsistency,
and great want of prin-
ciple ; that they- were therefore forsaken and unsup-
ported by the constituencies who had elected them ;
that they were now virtually defunct; and that having
no resources to rely upon, and having done nothing
but wasted their time in words and unprofitable
debates, without accomplishing any thing useful, or
affording even probable grounds for supposing that
even ultimately they would
adopt prudent, practica-
ble, or even sane measures, what reason had they for
expecting either the sympathy or support of the
working classes ? The greatest discordance and want
of unanimity were apparent in the meeting, which
though no time and place
adjourned until to-day,
were specified.
To-day
a few dye-work;, machine-makers' and
millwrights' shops, and some other minor establish-
ments have recommenced work. Only two cotton
factories have resumed work, nor is there at present
any prospect of any other, the hands generally de-
manding either an advance of wages or sonie other
concession from their employers. In Salford nearly
all the dye works and print works are in full opera-
tion, nor has any attempt been made to stop them.
There is now every probability
of the speedy disso-
lution of this outbreak.

The authorities continue sitting at the Town-hall,
and the same active intercourse takes place with all
the civil and military stations as last week, notwith-
standing the prospects of danger are far remote. The
Borough Magistrates sit in the Boroughreeve's room,
the county Magistrates in the gas hoard-room, and
General Sir William Warre and his staff at the York
Hotel. The committee of employers meet daily at
the Chamber of Commerce.

the Charter would remove, by universal will in uni-

crush the existence of the labourer and cripple the
efforts of commerce ; that it would give cheap govern-

that the chance of centuries, afforded to us by a wise
and all-seeing God, shall not he lost, but that we do
now universally resolve never to resume labour until
labour's grievances are destroyed, and protection
secured for ourselves, our suffering wives, and helpless
children by the enactment of the People's Charter.
" Englishmen ! The blood of your brothers reddens
the streets of Preston and Blackburn, and the mur-

men ! Peace, law, and order, have prevailed on our
side; ' let these be. revered until your brethren in
Scotand, Wales, and Ireland are informed of your
resolution, and when a universal holiday prevails—
which will be the case in eight days—then of what
use will bayonets be against public opinion. What
tyrant can then live'ahove the terrible tide of thought
and energy which is now flowing fast- under the
guidance of man's intellect, which is now destined
by a Creator to elevate his people above the reach of
want, the rancour of despotism, and the' penalties of
bondage. The trades—a noble, patriotic band—have
takim the lead in declaring for the Charter, and draw-
ing their gold from the keeping of tyrants. Follow
their example. Lend no whip to rulers wherewith
to scourge you.
Intelligence has reached us of the wide spreading
of the strike, and now within fifty miles of Man-
chester every engine is at rest, and all is still, save
the miller's useful wheels and the friendly sickle in
the fields.

" Countrymen and Brothers ! Centuries may roll
on, as they have fleeted past, before such universal
action may again be displayed. We have made the
cast for liberty, and we must stand-like" men the
hasard of the die. Let none despond. Let all he
cool and watchful, and like the bridemaids in the
parable, keep your lamps burning, and let your con-
tinued resolution be like a beacon to guide those who
are now hastening, far and wide, to follow your
memorable example.
" Brethren, we rely upon your firmness : cowardice,
treachery, or womanly fear would cast our cause back
for half a century. Let no man, woman, or child
break down the solemn pledge ; and if they do, may
the curse of the poor and the starving pursue them—
.they deserve slavery who would madly court it.
" Our machinery is all arranged, and your cause
will in three days be impelled onward by all the in-
tellect we can summon to its aid ; therefore, whilst
you are peaceful, be firm, whilst you are orderly make
all be so likewise, and whilst you look to the law, re-
member that you had no voice in making it, and are
therefore the slaves to the will, the law, and the price
of your masters.

All officers of the Association are called upon to
ail and assist in the peaceful extension of the move-
ment, and to forward all moneys for the use of the
delegates, who may be expressed over the country.
Strengthen our hands at this moment, and support
our leaders. Rally round our sacred cause, and leave
the decision to the God of justice and of battle."

THE FIRST TURN-OUT AT MANCHESTER.
The following letter has been addressed to one of
the local papers by Messrs. Bayley, of Staleybridge,
whose hands, it will be recollected, first commenced
the present disturbances :

"Sir,—As a 'very erroneous impression seems to
prevail in connexion with the present turn-out, that
we alone had proposed a reduction to our workpeople
below what was paid by other manufacturers, we beg
to state that it is utterly unfounded.
"The real facts are, that the reduction, about which
so much has been said, was confined solely to the
weavers in our employ ; and, in their case, finding
that we were paying, and had been paying for some
time past, higher prices than were paid by many ma-
nufacturers in the neighbourhood for similar descrip-
tions of cloth, we gave notice, some weeks back, of an
alteration in our wages. At the expiration of that
notice, we proposed to our weavers a reduction of Id.
per piece, which was only.one-half the reduction which
had been made by others, and amounted, to Gd. per
week upon their wages. This they. refus6d, alleging
that, though they were aware that in many instances
we were paying more than our neighbours, still, as
the markets were improved, they would not allow it in
our case. This we thought unreasonable, and they
left our employment.
" We at the same time beg to contradict the- many
idle tales and remarks which are stated to have been
made by us to our workpeople, which we understand
are in circulation ; and can only treat them as too
absurd for any particular notice.
" In connexion also with the above, we wish to
state, that for the last six months our weavers have
had full employment; and, in order to show the real
condition of our workpeople, whom some of the
newspapers have represented to be reduced to starva-
tion, we beg to subjoin a statement of the wages paid
at our mills for a period of five weeks previous to the
turn-out :—To 914 men, women, and children in our
employment, five weeks' wages, from June 18th to
July 23d, 1842, 2,6201. or lls. 51d. each per week.
To 426 weavers (principally girls), for the same five
weeks, 1,150/., or 10s. 911 each per week.
" Your insertion of these facts will much oblige,
"Yours most respectfully,
" WM. BAYLEY AND BROTHERS.
" Staleybridge, Aug. 15, 1842."
BURY, Thursday Afternoon.

-•
The whole of the mills and printworks are at a
stand this day. A large mob yesterday, from the
neighbourhood of Heywood, turned out all hands at
the various works, the Magistrates not having given
the protection they promised. It was stated by the
workmen 'that the period of resuming work would
therefore, under present circumstances, depend upon
the time work was resumed in the neighbourhood.

ROCHDALE, Thursday Afternoon.
This morning all the mills are again turned out by
a large mob ; in consequence the whole of the works
are at a stand. No outrage against property has,
however, been committed in the course of to-day.
We understand the turn-outs in Ashton, Staler-
bridge, Oldham, and Rochdale, have come to the de-
termination that.they will no longer go for the Charter.
WIGAN, Thursday Noon.
The town is at present peaceable, but the factories
are still at a stand. This morning delegates from the
workpeople had interviews with the masters, for the
purpose of attempting to accommodate- matters, but
the demands of the turn-outs were considered so
exorbitant, that the masters refused to accede to them,
and consequently work was not resumed. Large
mobs -are parading the streets, but an active police
force, under the command of Mr, Thomas Latham,
are in readiness to prevent any outrage. In the fore-
noon a large meeting .was held in Chapel-lane, which
caused some alarm. The fire-bell at the Town-hall
was rung, the military, police, and special constables
assembled, and proceeded to the spot, but finding the
mob had dispersed, they paraded the streets of the
town, receiving most hearty hooting from the Irish
weavers resident in the Scholes. At half-past three
o'clock all was quiet.

BOLTON, Thursday, Half-past Three, p.m.
All is peaceable in this town but with few excep-
tions, the factories and other large works are still
closed. A general holiday is kept. Large mobs are
parading the streets, but it is feared, when starvation
presents itself, outrage will begin. At Hawley a ren-
counter took place between the mob and the hands em-
ployed in the print works there, but the arrival of a
troop of soldiers put a stop to the matter. A large
mob also assembled at Ladyshaw collieries, and at-
tempted to turn out the hands, but Captain Fletcher
galloped up with a troop of the Queen's Own Lanca-
shire Yeomanry, 'Tut the mob to the rout, and cap-
tured no less than eighty prisoners, who have been
committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions.

HINDLEY, Thursday.
The following particulars have just been furnished
me by a highly respectable manufacturer. The rioters
first made their appearance on Monday from Wigan,
in an irregular straggling manner, consisting of about
200 or 300 of the lowest class of people, chiefly Irish,
and the greater part being handloom weavers from
Scholes. On their way they stopped several coal-
works, and also Mr. Gidlow's cotton-mill at Ince,
whose manager they compelled to go with them to,
Hindley. 1 hey first attacked the mill of John Bond,
Esq.,- who, in order to prevent any damage, ordered
the engine to be stopped, the rioters compelling the
majority of the hands to join them. Here also they
took the manager with them, hut he, after walking a
short distance, contrived to escape. Before ten o'clock
the whole of the mills and other works in the
village had ceased labour, the greater part of the
rioters proceeding towards Leigh, whence they
returned in company with others in the course of the
day. At tea o'clock another and a much larger party

came from PKilton, 'where they emptied the boilers.
This was done by. pe'rsons who well understood the
work, And who were evidently engineers-. • Th'e next
proceeded to•the shopkeepers, levying contributiOns
in the shape of loaves of bread, butter, milk, &c., and
went towards Wigan. A third party, from Leigh,
..caoke ip a few,.min.utes.. afterwards, who,- finding all
the work done, and threatenjpgjhe masters who _ re-
sumed work, went on their route to Wigan, appa-
rently to rejoin the main body. They were princi-
pally armed with hammers, bars of iron, and wooden
clubs of immense sixe, and whenever they found re-
sistance in the shape of locked gates or doors, speedily
removed the obstruction. During the whole of
the day tributary streams arrived from all the neigh-
bouring villages, who proceeded to join the main
body. In the, afternoon a detachment of the 72d
Highlanders arrived from Wigan, and about a hun-
dred special constables were , sworn in. Preparations
were made to commence work on the following day,
but the workpeople, from fear, or some other motive,
declined to work at present. The town now remains
•
quiet.

CHORLEY, Thursday Afternoon.
The town is at present quiet, but large crowds are
parading about, having no work in consequence of the
factories and collieries being at a stand.
• • BLACKBURN, Thursday Noon.
All the factories, print and other works, are at a
stand, but no riot has taken place to-day up to this
hour.

LIVERPOOL Thursday, August 'lB

ANOTHER CHARTIST

Some apprehensions were created yesterday in con-
sequence of numbers of strangers having come into
town from the manufacturing districts. They walked,
in straggling groups of between twenty and thirty
strong, down London-road, for the purpose, as is
supposed, of stirring up the disaffected in this borough,
and thus extending the scene of those riotous pro-
ceedings which have prevailed in the neighbouring
districts. Others asserted that they were flying from
the manufacturing districts, where-danger existed, and
betaking themselves for refuge to this peaceable
locality. The soldiers in barracks were placed under
arms, and' at the different police stations the men, to
the number of several hundreds, were fully equipped
for duty.
Shortly-After seven o'clock the lower end of White-
chapel became densely thronged with the lower
classes. The meeting was held in -the Nelson As-
sembly-rooms, heretofore known as the Hall of Science,
or Socialist-hall, Lord Nelson-street. The place
was crowded. in all parts, almost to suffocation,
when the Chairman, a Mr. M'Knight, commenced
the proceedings. The speakers consisted of a
Mr.. Robinson, a Mr. Lloyd, a Mr. M'Nulty,
and some others ; and the principal topics consisted
of an exposition of Chartist principles ; a denial
that the Chartists had originated the present move-
ment in the manufacturing districts; abuse of the
Anti;Corn-law League, the Whigs, the Tories, and
the Established Church ; and an expression of sym-
pathy with the malcontents in the manufacturing
districts. The principal portion of the speakers, par-
ticularly Robinson, conjured the Chartists to act a
quiet and orderly part, and not, for the purpose of
working out the objects of the League, to brave the
muskets of an armed soldiery.
During the greater part of the time the meeting
was being held, Mr. Whitty, accompanied by some of
the ;superintendents of police,, was in the room. for
the purpose of watching the proceedings, and, if
necessary suppressing the slightest appearance of
tumult. In Lord Nelson-street and the streets in
the immediate vicinity, about 300 of the constabulary
were drawn up and under arms ; but we are happy
to say that everything passed off quietly, and that the
services of the force were not called into requisition.
Groups of the working classes were, however,- col-
lected in various parts of the neighbourhood, by whom
the present disturbances were warmly discussed. The
Chartist meeting separated at a quarter to 11 o'clock. '
