who arc perhaps little qualified to fill the places

perceive an incongruity in taste, quickly as any
other people. Ladies must be splendid and accom-

Matters IN England Preparations for Umivcrsal
Chartist Demomstration-Aish Matters Bank
ing Business Iheatricais, &c.
In these turbulent times your readers will natur-
ally expect that should commence my letters with
an account of the chartist proceedings in England,
who have been, during the last week, doing their
work in right good earnest. Not night has
passed without severe skirmishes and conflicts
having taken place between the police and them.
Broken heads, arms, legs &C., have become now
regular occurrences, and the hospital dressers be-
gin to have enough to employ them. 1t appears to
be the desire of the chartists, by undated
series of meetings, held at most unreasonable
hours, to tire out the civil and military force. To
great extent they have Succeeded in their ens,ea
yors. for the troops have been under arms for the
last ten days, and are impatient to have the ques-
the 18th of June, will be Whit-Monday, on which
day the chartists have announced that large meet
ings will be held simultaneously throughout Eng
land. To be prepared for this, the government
have already taken the greatest precautions to pre-
serve its aseendancy. The special constabes are
all to be re-sworn, their time of serving expiring
on the 10th; and 1t is resolved that on Sunday
night they are to do street duty, in order to afford
relief to the police, that the latter may be pre-
pared tor any disturbance on the following Mon
day. Should they, by any mishap, come into COLI
sion with the authorities, it was stated in the
House OF Commons BY Sir George Grey, the Home

the police were in any way injured, they would be

lams-all of whom have been committed to New
gate, take their trials do not think there will
be any trouble to obtain jury to convict them: as
they have, by their insane proceedings, created
many enemies. Mr. Russell was the person who
stood upon tub in the midst of common, and
asserted he would dsown his five children If thew
did not acknowledge the soundness of the doctrine
of "private assassination" If the cause could be
weeded of such extravagantly absurd partizans as
those have enumerated, there would be reason
able chance of the main portions of the charter
becoming the law of the land.
Tonight, both houses of Parliament adjourn for
a week although they have plenty of work to do,
still they mast have their holydays. Nothing Of
Importance has been debated upon in either house
during the vast week.. with the exception of the
discussion of the Spanish question. There was |
brilliant debate upon the dismissal of Sir Henry
Bulwer from Spain, in which Lord Palmerston,
Mr.. She'll, Lord John Russell, Mr.. Disraeli, and
Sir Robert Peel, took part. The members were
almost unanimous in freeing Sir Henry Bulwer
from all blame; indeed the highest euloges for his
tact In diplomatic affairs, were showered upon him
from all parts Of the house so that the question
rests thus at present, and is not likely to be again
referred to. ], however, send you summary of
the parliamentary proceedings during. the week.

Another of the Irish patriots, Mr.. Mea-
CHER, has been arrested-not for sediton, but |
for assaulting a police constable, while in the |
execution of his duty. 1t appears that Mr.. Mea- |

Ulster, and adopted by common consent in all the

to have arms, and to practise the use Of them.-
That the sovereign title and honor Of the Irish

queen on earth; and that the life and liberty of the
Irish people are, at least as precious and sacred as
those OF our king or quceD or our viceroy, Judge,

can venture to say.

in France are daily communicated to us through |
the several correspondents of the daily papers, and
