SOVEREIGNS DEFICIENT IN
WEIGHT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stu,—Great loss, independent of much hindrance of busi.
ness, was experienced, particularly yesterday, from the prolii-
hi:ion of passing light sovereigns. This has been a rich bar-
ye,t to money-changers and bullion-dealers ; and a most ini-
quitous one it has been. The current weight of a sovereign is
dwts. 214 grains, or 12214 grains; of the half sovereign, a
mere trifle less in proportion, 2 dwts. 131/4 grains, or 616
grains ; and at these weights respectively, or standing weight,
they are to be received, and when tendered of less weight per-
sons are authorised by law to break them. Yesterday I had
an opportunity of weighing many, stated to be light, some of
them were not so, others were standing weight, and a great
number from one-eighth to one-fourth of a grain under the
proper weight. New, Sir, the ounce of gold coin, of 480
grains, or 12 dwts., is at present valued at 3!. 17s. 100 ,
making the grain of gold coin 7 farthings and 63-80ths of a far-
thing, nearly twopence ; -yet the dealers made the holders sa
crifice 6d. upon the sovereign of standing weight, 124 grains,
and 9d. when there was the slightest adverse turn of the scale.
This was extremely unjust, hut enormous sums &together
were. yesterday exchanged upon these terms. The coin most
deficient in weight is that of 1821, which has undergone in
some instances severe " sweating." There should he an office
somew het e established, where as few as four sovereigns might be
changed at their intrinsic value, and persons will then get that
quantity exchanged for, most frequently, from one penny to
fourpence.

When our gold coin (which was the case till within the last
1L years) was alloyed with silver, 11 parts gold and I silver, it
resisted wear much better ; now it has 1 part of copper to 11 of
gold. Every one much accustomed to the grid and silver coin
of loreign countries must be struck with the great loss our coin
suffers worn attrition ; that of foreign countries not being ,re-
duced from detrition one-half the quantity is double the time.
I believe the great cause of this to be the asperities of our
pieces. The milling now practised I believe to be very inju-
rious, by friction of the pieces one against another • and I con-
sider the lettering, both on the face and reverse (and even if
there be a legend on the edges), should be stink, not promi-
nent. No die that ever was struck has been so well calcu-
lated to prevent wear as that of the penny copper piece of the
year 1797 ; it has a raised border, about the eighth of an inch,
which protects both the face 'ai:d reverse, and all the letters
and figures are sunk and not prominent.

{ A DVERTISiEMENT.i

IMPORTANT Tel ALL TIIOSF WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any eneonium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
tobe manufactured on the largest
scientific principles at their chief es-
street, London; and also at their
tsbaeri
)ta

three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's." by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, althoinh in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
cenain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea,t
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents arid
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable savour, arid made of the best mate- '
rkls, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men I
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &e., nor is it. less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of '
the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates

SANGUINARY PROCEEDINGS IN CLARE—VER-
DICT OF THE JURY—COMMITTAL OF THE
POLICE.
Subjoined is an abridged report of the conclusion of the evi-
dence taken at the inquest, together with the subsequent pro-
ceedings, as they are furnished by the Limerick Reporter.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE B.—On the Court being opened this
morning, a tremendous rush took place, and a popular out-
burst of indignation was raised against the police, who were
stationed at the several passages. Their officers ordered them
to retire to the barracks.
Mr. C. O'Connell to the Coroner. —I am here concerned for
the friends of the deceased. Ido not mean to doubt your im-
partiality, but the first thing I call upon you for, is the names of
the police and officers who were on duty that night.
The list was now handed to Mr. O'Connell ; the number of
names on it was 42.
Mr. Carriek suggested that as Captain de Ruvynes was about
being implicated in this matter, it was right he should have an
opportunity of being present.
Mr. O'Connell objected, and said that being the professional
adviser of the deceased's friends, he was determined to accuse
him of wilful tnurder.—(Great cheering.)
Captain De Ruvynes—lt is just now I have come into
Court ; I do not know the proceedings that have been gone
on with.
Mr. O'Connell—The only proceeding is, that I am under the
painful necessity of charging you with murder.
Captain De Ruvynes—So help me God I never ordered the
police to fire ! 1 swear lam not guilty of the charge, and I
trust that I shall be able to rebut it.
Mr. O'Connell.—l hold in my hand the depositions of a man
who is in cxtremis. I would suggest that some Magistrate
should go with the Rev. Mr. Hennessy to the infirmary to have
the informations taken by him.
Mr. H. Bridgeman left the Court with the Rev. Mr. Hen-
nessy, to proceed to the county infirmary.
Mr. O'Connell—Mr. Coroner and Gentlemen of the Jury—
You will bear with me a while in performing a duty which de-
volves on me of putting before you the facts of the case. On
Monday night last a most wanton massacre took place, of which
von are all aware. I shall bring before you persons who will
prove to your satisfaction that the firing was not regular, but
what I may term platoon firing. You will hear witnesses who
cannot be doubted that the police took deliberate aim at the
people.—( Here Mr. O'Conned went on to recapitulate the
circumstances of the case as they afterwatds appeared in evi-
dence.) Mr. O'Connell continued—lf there was a regular
volley there might be some excuse for it, owing to the excite-
ment of the moment ; but no, it was a regular platoon fire they
kept up on the unfortunate victims. GI acious God ! if Ibe
rightly instructed, a more barbarous murder was never perpe-
trated cn an unoffending people. I will not move your passions
—you saw the bloody wounds that called aloud for vengeance
and demand to investigate the case coolly and deliberately, and
find a verdict according to the evidence produced. Mr. O'Con-
nell called on the Coroner to know would the police he brought
up in custody, or were they in the barracks ?
Coroner—lt is discretionary for them to come in if they
please ; my duty will rest on the verdict that will hereafter be
found.
Mr. Browne, County Inspector, then said —I beg to tres-
pass on you for a short period. I feel the painful task I have
to perform, owing to the way in which Mr. O'Connell has ad-
dressed you. I have discharged my duty without malice or
envy. I will abide by what. I did, as I did nothing to call fur
your ill-will. If I gave the police orders to fire it would be
effectually, and not by platoon, as stated by Mr. O'Connell. I
appeal to your feelings ; no man deplores it snore than Ido ; it
was done without my sanction or approbation, and, therefore, 1
am determined to abide by the consequences.
Mr. Smith then said—From the obsersations that have
fallen from Mr. Browne, I feel called on to rise. I regret ex-
ceedingly he should introduce my name. it would appear by
what he stated, that my absence was the cause of the occur-
rence that took place, although he had another Magistrate
with him who came out determined to act independently of
me.—( Cheers.) It was not my intention to be invidious. I
our dragged forward to defend myself. I went to Mr. Banns-
tyne's store. I paced the men in a position to protect his
property. The police were not struck, but the people were
loud in their exclamations. I desired Mr. Browne to be cool,
as he appeared not to be so, and to keep the men quiet. I
went through the crowd, addressed them, and in-
duced them to go home with .me, and promised, if they
should do so, to go about the next morning to collect
subscriptions to purchase potatoes for their use.—( Hear. )
I induced them to retire, and went back with them about 30
yards, when I heard s..veral shots fired. I then turned back
and saw flashes from five or six pans. I was amazed, and in as
much danger as any one else. It could not, however, be ex-
pected that I could face them with arms presented, or make any
effort to stop them then. The crowd then rushed forward and
forced me with them into Mill-street. I then heard cries of
I'm shot, I'm shot." Several women came up, and attempted
to tear me, and they said I gave orders to fire. Some men
then came up and said they would protect me, anti they forced
me with them to Dean O'Shaughtiessy's. In a short time after
I left his house accompanied by Mr WiMahon, and searched
the town for the police, an was surprised I could not find theni.
We then went round by the bridge towards the mills, and met
the pol se between the hospital aid the bridge. When I came
up to them, Mr. Browne asked me where I had been. I said he
knew where I had been, engaged in taking the people away,
and I said, " Who gave orders to fire ?" Mr. Browne said,
" Nobody." I then turned round to Mr. Fitzsimon, who was
leaning on me, and said, " this is strange, and places you in a
very awkward position." I have stated all tho-e particulars to
the Government, and have celled for an investigation, which I
am confident will be granted.
After Mr. Smith concluded, Mr. Browne asked him if,
when he made the reply to him, that nobody gave orders, he
did not add, " I know 1 gave no orders."
Mr. Smith said he believed he did. He had no doubt but
he did make the observation.
Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to call witnesses. The first
called was
Pat Garrahy, who deposed as follows :—I live in Ennis. I
recollect Monday evening last. I was alongside the police on
the store road, about six yards from Mr. Arthur's gate, nearer
to Mill-street. I cannot state positively how many police were
present, but think there were about 40. I saw Mr. Browne at
the right of the police, and Captain De Ruvynes at their left
on the footpath, both remaining at their respective sides. I
heard Captain De Ruvynes say " Fire," and Mr. Browne " Not
to fire." I heard Mr. Browne a second time say, "Do not
fire, boys." The word was given by Captain Du Ruvynes
before Mr. Browne desired them not to fire. About two
minutes after the word was given the fire commenced. The
front rank of the police was in a kneeling position, the
rear ank were standing up when they fired. There was
about two or three shots fired by the front rank. After
they fired Mr. Browne said " Boys, don't fire." There
was about two or three minutes between the firing of the front
and rear rank, and it was after both that Mr. Browne said, for
the second time, " Boys, do Lot fire." I heard only about
three shots, when I ran away. When I got to the Corn mar-
ket-gate, on the Store-road, I saw the deceased woman brought
away between people, and she bleeding. I saw M`Namara
bleeding. I saw also the blind man, Fitzgibbon, walking
down the road, and he bleeding. Was standing for about two
minutes near the police before they fired. I saw the people that
were between the police and Mill-street. I am sure every
one of the people could be dispersed without the police having
recourse to firing.
Michael Haire deposed as follows :—I saw Captain De Ru-
vynes and Mr. Browne standing side by side when the police
halted, the greater part of the crowd had dispersed before the
police charged. About five minutes after I got into the ruin,
I heard Captain De Ruvynes say, "Ready, present, fire!"
Mr. Browne repeated the same words after the Captain, and
the men fired. I heard about 40 shots fired; there were
about 15 minutes between the firing of the first and last shot.
1 did not go home till morning ; after the firing was over
Alr. Browne ordered the men up towards the mill, it was
about one o'clock then.
Dr. George O'Brien being sworn, was examined by Mr.
O'Connell—l examined the wounds in the deceased Catherine
Sheehan. She came by her death from a gun-shot.
Martin APGuane sworn—l live in Ennis. I was at the
firing. It commenced on the road. I was standing near the
store when Mr. Hennessy walked on with the mob. I re-
mained with the police. I heard Captain De Ruvynes ray,
he got a blew of a stone on the mouth. There were over 20
policemen present. The policemen had their bayonets screwed
upon their carbines st this time, and in a charging position.
Mr. Browne called out to Captain De Ruvynes, and inquired
what was he to do? This was five minutes after the Cap-
tain complained of being struck in the mouth. He (the Cap-
tain) said he could do nothing, as Mr. Smith was not there.
Mr. Browne replied, I now give you the authority, and you
may do as you please. Captain De Ruvynes then said that
the men must fire ; then Mr. Browne desired the men to
fire ; the word was scarcely out of his mouth when the men
tired. Before the word was given I heard Mr. Fitzsimon
say, " In the honour of God, do not fire, but charge upon
the mob, and close them up, and they will make way." Be.
tweet these words and the firing three minutes did not elapse.
It was after Mr. Fitzsimon spoke that Captain De Ruvynes
sa'd, the men must fire, and Mr. Browne gave the word in-
stantly. The police might hava put five times the number of
persons present away without firing, if the advice of Mr.
Fitzsimon was taker,.
To Mr. O'Connell—Captain De Ruvynes read no paper
before the order was given, neither did Mr. Browne. If any-
thing had been read, I must have heard it. There was no
light to read without getting a candle.
To the Coroner-1 heard the captain give no word of com-
mand. I saw no stone thrown immediately previous to the
firing. The police were in no danger at the time. I got my-
self a blow on the head, but it neither hurt nor cut me. The
police fired first towards Mill-street, and then turned back and
tired on the opposite side. When I was hit there were no
other stones thrown. While the people were running away,
the police continued firing at them. The police walked forward
after the people every shot they fired. The police came eight
or nine steps from where they were placed, and then turned
back and fired in the opposite direction. I did not see Mr.
Smith after until the bodies were carried to the infirmary.
The mob did trot return.

'Fite Rev. P. Hennessy sworn—l recollect the night in ques-
tion, when Mr. Smith and I were stationed near the store.
I found him addressing the people, advising them to retire,
and promising, that in the course of the week he would
solicit subscriptions from the more opulent inhabitants to pro-
cure cheap provisions for those who were in want of them.
I joined in the same appeal, and in the promise. He
brought forward a large body of the people, and I fol-
lowed with another, until we came to the height of the street,
we repeating our promises, they expressing their confidence in
us, and he pressing on them the necessity of keeping their
words. We came round by Gaol-street, lest the people should
follow us. When we came up we found different persons
strap,ling by the wall. Mr. Browne said that the people were
throwing stones. I drew a large number of the crowd with
me When the shots commenced I cried out, " We shall all
be shot;" and I was dreadfully annoyed to find that giots should
be fired promiscuously, while I was co-operating with the autho-
rities for the preservation of the peace, thus endangering the
lives of myself and other innocent persons. I am confident
that there were no stones thrown in the directions from which
the shots proceeded. To the best of my judgment I am quite
clear that the crowd might have been dispersed without the
police firing a shot or even screwing on a bayonet. In point of
fact, we were all running away when the police commenced
firing, and during the run they (the police) continued firing.
Mr. L. Smith, resident Magistrate, sworn—From my expe-
rience as a Magistrate, I am quite persuaded that if the police
remained stationary as I directed, I could have taken away

Mr. Browne—l ;In placed in so difficult a position that I
really know not how to act. If I were only personally con-
cerned I should not hesitate, but I am so totally ignorant of
legal knowledge that I know not how I shall proceed ; but
there are those of whom I have the superintendence who are
respectable men, and therefore without legal assistance I cainnot
say what I shall do.
The Coroner then declared the Court adjourned to, ten
o'clock, next day.
THURSDAY, juNs 9.—The Coroner took his seat this] day
at ten o'clock.
Mr. O'Connell addressed the Jury for the prosecution, when
they retired for nearly an hour, and then returned with the fol-
lowing verdict:—

44 We find that the deceased, Catherine Sheehan, came by
her death in consequence of a gun-shot wound inflicted by one
or a party of police on duty in the town of Ennis, on the night
of Monday, the 6th of June, or morning of Tuesday, the 7th
of June instant, called out to protect the property of Mr. Ban-
catyne, and that that party, by the return made to us, by Mr.
Fitzsimon, sub-inspector of police, consisted of the following
persons-4 Here the list of the police on duty was inserted] ;
and we, the Jurors aforesaid, further find that that party of
police did not receive sufficient provocation from the people,
who were tumultuously assembled, to warrant them in at all
fl-ing upon the people ; and we further find that those belomg-
ing to the police force, as previously named, fired not alone
without orders from any Magistrate or any officers, but in oopo-
s.tton to the positive orders of their officers."
Ten o'clock, p.m.—Since the finding of the verdict the
town is in a state of great excitement, so much so that it 'was
considered necessary to have the Dragoons called out.;---
they are still patrolling the streets. The people had a great
triumph here this evening-38 policemen were marched, to
pris- n, strongly guarded by soldiers (cavalry and infant ry ),
amidst the groans and execrations of the populace. The town
i , now perfectly quiet. Mr. T. B. C. Smith arrived here to-
diy on the part of the Government, and opens an Inquiry iinto
the matter at ten o'clock to-morrow morning.
I have great pleasure in saying that last night the poor of
Ennis were greatly cheered by the arrival in town of sixteen
cart-loads of meal, forwarded from Limerick, by Mr. J. N. Mus-
sed. Such a timely relief at this particular moment of exciite-
tient and distress will be duly appreciated by the inhabitarats,
and will be disposed of at an unusually low rate. The metal
was at first intended for another local ty, but Mr. Russell hear-
ing of the privation here immediately ordered it for this town.
It is needless to say it arrived in perfect safety, although
goaded neither by soldiers nor policemen, but escorted by a
j..yous concourse, who testified their emotions by long and loud
huzz is, while the horses and cars were decorated with green
boughs, and music displayed its magic influence in the van. If
all were to act like Mr. Russell the impoverished of this town
would have little to complain of ; unity would dwell, property
he safe, and peace undisturbed.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY-
LOBE.—The panic produced by the proclama-
tion on the subject of the gold coin has occasioned ex-
tensive injury to the trading part of the community,
and much public inconvenience and loss. We have
received several communications on the subject, some
of which detail instances of serious difficulties and
p )Ative loss to individuals, and of extensive
embarrassments, to the traders and shopkeepers
o the neighbourhoods. We are, therefore, in-
duced to explain more clearly the real state
of the matter,in the hope of allaying the apprehensions
which have been excited. On Friday night, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to a question
put to him in the House of Commons by Mr. Chil-
ders, said—" The proclamation which had been re-
cently issued, was a repetition of a proclamation
which it had been usual to issue, though not
very recently, no doubt, warning the public of the
weight below which gold coin could not be taken. Great
complaints had been made that the gold coin in circu-
lation at present was below .weight ; and it was there.;
fore thought necessary to call the attention of the
public to the fact, and to make arrangements with'
the Bank of England, by which they agreed to re-
ct•ive gold coin at the rate of 3/. 17s. 100. the ounce,
the Mint price of gold coin." We cannot help
thinking that the time chosen by the Government for
issuing the proclamation was most ill-chosen. The
embarrassments of the trading community were
already sufficiently formidable, without having this
additional impediment imposed upon their operations.
Nor can we approve of subjecting the parties,
who may happen to be in possession of gold
ciin, deficient in weight to the loss which ought
to be borne by the community. The amount of
loss to the revenue would be comparatively trifling ;
while to the holder, desirous of paying one or more
sovereigns away in trade, the deduction to which he
is subjected is considerable. We have reason to know
that the panic has, in many instances, in different dis-
tricts of the metropolis, been employed to purposes of
dishonest gain. So much as 7d. on the sovereign, and
4d. on the half sovereign have been deducted, under
pretext of deficiency to that amount in the standard
weight. The average amount of depreciation is ex-
ceedingly trifling, by no means such as to warrant
the deductions which have been made, or the difficul-
ties which have been thrown in the way of trade by
the general panic which has been created by this ill-
timed proclamation.
STANDARD.—The excitement upon the gold
coin proclamation rose on Saturday to a very great
height in the metropolis, Saturday being the day on
which the humbler classes of the people usually re-
ceive their wages and make purchases. It is certain
that the Government could not be aware of the incon-
venience to which many thousands must be subjected
by this routine announcement, or a provision would
have been made to guard against it. The lower
class of retailers and the money-changers have had
an obvious motive for augmenting the inconveni-
ence to an enormous extent. The depreciation of
the bulk of the gold coin may be greater than we
have described it, but it falls very far short of that
which the parties referred to have asserted.
Where they have taken gold, in some cases one shil-
ling has been subtracted from the sovereign by the re-
tailer or money-lender—inmost cases binepence; while
sixpence is the least deduetion.tivm a standing beam
sovereign; and in many parts-of the town, particularly
near the suburbs, threepence premium was required
upon even sovereigns of full weight. 'Thus has a great
robbery been committed upon the classes standing
most in need of protection ; but this is not the worst
—in many cases that have come to our knowledge,
the sovereign would 7wt he received at any premium,
ant poor people have been compelled to go without
their Sunday's dinner, the proclamation in their
ca-.e working a temporary forfeiture of the whole.
A correspondent, upon whom we can rely, as-
sures us that in the neighbourhood of Islington
and Holton, through a wide district, this was the
case. Another correspondent mentions an in-
stance which proves the hardship to which the
poor have been exposed, even in contact with the
public offices. At half-past three on Saturday a
poor woman applied at the Money Order Office
in St. Martin's-le-Grand for an order for sixteen
shillings to remit to her daughter, whom she repre-
sentedas in a dying state at Dover ; she tendered a
sovereign, which upon being weighed was found
slightly deficient; the order was refused ; the poor
creature implored to be allowed to pay the whole
sovereign for the required sixteen shillings, or for even
a less sum • the officer to whom she applied re-
luctantly refused ; his orders not to take a light
sovereign at any price were peremptory, he could
only good-naturedly direct the applicant to 'a
money-changer in the Poultry--but then it would
be too late, and her dying daughter must have
gone without relief, but that a gentleman present
happened to have a new sovereign, which he
kindly exchanged for that which had been offered.
Now, cases like this, as far as the difficulty to the
poor woman, formed the rule through the whole
of Saturday—not the exception ; and as has been
seen, the money-changers and small retailers had a
direct motive for imitating the rigour of the public
offices, or mitigating it at a high price. They had
only to collect fifty sovereigns, say at 6d. premium
each, carry them to the Bank of England, and they
would realise a profit of at least 20s. Might not
the public offices have softened the example they
were compelled to set, by taking sovereigns at the
actual value, or even a trifle below it ? Say that
the actual value of the average coin is about
19s. 10d. ; if it was known that at the public
offices a sovereign would be received for 19s. 9d., the
panic would be at an end: Something must be done.
At present, as far as we can learn, the inconvenience
and excitement are limited to the metropolis, but they
iiiiist soon extend through the island ; and, if 110
work consequences are to he anticipated from them,
they must be productive of a great deal suffering to
the industrious poor, a consideration that cannot fail

MEETING IN SOUTHWARK.
A requisition, signed by some of the principal. electors
of the Borough of Southwark, having been presented to
1 the High Bailiff, calling upon him to convene:a public
meeting, for the purpose of preaentingan Address to her
Majesty, congratulating her on her escape from the late
treasonable attempt upon her life, the High Bailiff
called a meeting of the inhabitants, which was held yester-
day, at the Town Hall, High-street, Southwark.
Mr. JACKSON, in the absence of the High Bailiff, took
the Chair.
Mr. HonTos; rose to propose the adoption of an ad-
dress to her most Gracious Majesty, on her vrovidential
escape from the late treasonable and atrocious attempt
upon her life.
Mr. APSLEY PELLATT said, although differing in po-
litics and religious opinions from the mover of the ad-
dress, still he felt the greatest pleasure in seconding it,
and he sincerely hoped the meeting would unanimously
agree to it.
Mr. BALLS rose to propose an addition to the address.
The Citaiestars inquired if he was an elector ?
Mr. BALLS said he was not.
The CHAIRMAN said, then he could not allow him to
propose an addition to the address.
Mr; BALLS said he had a right to propose an addition,
as the meeting was a meeting of the inhabitants of
Southwark
The CHAIRMAN said, he was entirely in the hands of
the labeling.
The meeting having decided that he should be heard,
Mr. BALLS said he did not rise to oppose the address,
but for the purpose of moving an addition to it. He
would yield to no man in his loyalty to the Queen. lie
respected the Queen ; but at the same time he respected
the thousands of virtuous persons who were starving.—
(Cheers.) lie congratulated her Majesty upon her
escape, . and in doing so,_ he could not help
referring to the thousands who were annually
assassinated by a system of class legislation.—(Cheers.)
He thought they ought to inform her Majesty of the dis-
tress of the country. Her Majesty knew partially of
the existence of the distress, as she had subscribed 5001.
to aid its relief, but they ought to tell her Majesty that
it was not charity that they wanted—it was their rights.
—(Cheers.) If justice was impartially administered to
the people, this country would become one of the hap-
piest countries in the world.—(Cheers.) They ought to
tell the Queen that they were not to be longer tyrannized
over by a set of selfish rulers, and that they were deter-
mined to have the charter of their rights.—(Cheers.)
He would not trespass longer on their time, but would move,
in addition to the address, the following words i--" That
we • beg to inform your Majesty that the present . con-
dition of the eta 'plc, arising from the enactment of bad laws,
is most deplorable ; that thousands are perishing from
actual want. We, your Majesty's most loyal subjects,
have in vain endeavoured to obtain our just rights from
your Parliament, but our prayers were rejected and .
despised ; we, therefore, beg your Majesty to dissolve
the Parliament, and call to your Councils men who will
make the Psople's Charter a Cabinetineasure."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said that as Mr. Balls was not 'an
elector, he should require some one that was to propose
the addition to the address.
Mr. BOWLER said he should be most happy to propose
that the words just read be added to the address.
Mr. ,JAMas seconded the motion.
Mr. POWELL suggested that the gentlemen who moved
the addition to the address should call a specific meeting
for the purpose of agreeing to an address on the subject
of the Charter.—(lronical cheers.)
:`.lr. MARTIN said lie should be happy to sign a requi-
sition to the High Bailiff to call a meeting on the subject ;
and he therelere hoped the mover and seconder of the
addition to the address would withdraw it.
Mr. BoweEn said he could not do so.
Mr. HEARSE wished to call the attention of the meet-
ing to the object tbr which the meeting was Called. • Ile
th 'tight Ihe addition to the address, was out of plate.--
(No, no.) They (the Chartists) were perambulating
the country with an address, and yet they were not.con-
tent with this but they must come there to interrupt the
meeting. Let them do one thing at a tune, and do that
thing well. In his opinion, what was worth doing at all,
was worth doing well.—(hear, hear.) The addition to
the eddress was a neutralisation of that address.—(No,
no.) They acquiesced in the address, he believed
Merely fbr the purpose of using that ad.lress as a step-
ping stone to something die. Ale hoped they would
__withdraw, the addendum, anti merely accomplish the ob-
ject for which the meeting was called, namely, to con-
gratula:e her .Majesty on her escape.
elr. BOWLER rose, but
The .Ctrareezasi said he thought it was not regular,
as Mr. Bowler had spoken once.
Mr. MAYNARD said he came there that day without
the slightest idea that an amendmeet was to be moved
to the address, but es it had been proposed he should
support it, for he believed that the principles from which
it emanated would be the ultimate salvation of this
country. He would artmer drip into the grave than
raise those principles upon assassinetion.(Cheers.)
He would most. cordially support the addition to the
address.
Mr. PARKER. thought they ought to be careful how
they created a prejudice against a person under the ban
of the law. They had denounced Francis :as a base
assassin, while every man was held to be innocent till a
jury of his countrymen had proved him to• be guilty.
Walt: of assassination, was there no assassination during
.the past Week in Ireland ?—(Cheers.) Was there no
assassination in the cotton factories and in India ? There
was discontent throughout the country, and therefore
they ought to call upon her Afaesty to dis Miss her pre-
sent advisers. 1
Mr. DODSON thought there was but one feeling in that
meeting with respect to her Majesty, but he' hoped the
addendum to the address would be withdrawn.
Mr. Howrosa as the mover of the address, felt much
pain at the course the meeting was about to take, for he
had hoped the meeting would have been unanimous on
the subject for which the meeting was called. He felt
tbr the distress of the people, but, as the mover of the
address, he considered it to be his duty to withdraw it,
if the addendum was persevered in.
The CHAIRMAN said he must put the address to the
meeting.

Thiks'CIIAIRMAN then put the original address, which
was lust by a large majority. He then said he could not
put the addendum as the meeting was ut an end. They
had condemniA the address.—(" No, no," and uproar.)
Mr. A. PELLATT thought the meeting did not under-
stand the question.
The CHAIRMAN said he had adopted the right course,
and appealed to Mr. B. Wood, who was acquainted with
• the forms of the House of Commons.
Mr. B. WOOD said, he thought the course pursued by
• the Chairman was the right one. The address had been.
rejected evidently under a mistake, and he hoped it
would not be taken advantage of.—(Cheers).
The meeting then became a perfect scene of uproar and
confusion, half a dozen persons speaking at the /same
time, and all declaring that the address as amended
should be put to the meeting.
After great delay and uproar,
The CHAIRMAN said he should act upon his own judg-
ment and put the address to the meeting: if they agreed
to it, he should then put the question that the proposed
words be added. If they negatived the first question, of
course there was an end to the meeting, and they would
have themselves to blame.
The address was then put and lost, amidst cries of
" Don't vote for the address, vote for the addition."
The CHAIRMAN then declared the meeting at an end.
They had rejected the address, consequently he could
not put the addition, as there was no addresi to 04 itto.
The meeting, which was almost wholly comr,osed of
Chartists, separated in considerable confusion at about
a quarter past three o'clock.
