On Monday evening an immense crowd assembled on Clerkenwell-green, London, in response to a placard, headed in huge capitals, The monster Er Ooernor Yyte !" and running on to say, This wholesale murderer will be tried by a jury of 10,000 working men at a torchlight meeting on Ckrkenweil amen, Monday evening, September 3, and if found guilty will be burnt in efigy on a gallon-a, wilh our night's that we should like to serve him and his aristocratic entertainers in the same manner in the degt The judge will take the chair in front of the Sessions house at seven o'clock. By order of the great meeting held in Bar. tholomete.cloae" The •ollowing is the account of the meeting as given by The Times:—  _ The judgment-seat wan a van, which was crowded not only by the elite of the 10,000 jury. composed of men whose names have been familiar of late as leaders in other demonstrations, but by some of the lowest of he followers. The judge and jury had evidently shade up their minds to find their culprit guilty, for they had brought with them a well got-up effigy, which had been made at some pains and expense.
