On Monday evening two boys were drowned in the Thames while bathing, at nearly the same hour. One of them lost his life off Bankside, near London-bridge, the other nearly off Goding's brewery, above Waterloo-bridge. These accidents are attributed to the dangerous state of the river for bathers. The bed of the Thames is full of holes, caused by the operations of the ballast machines, and in many places the shelving bank suddenly declines, and one footstep takes the bathers from a depth of three or four feet into water fifteen or twenty feet deep, and before the children, who are generally the sufferers on those occa- sions, can extricate themselves, or assistance can be ren- dered from the shore, they disappear, and are carried away by the current. The two occurences happened in the pre- sence of a number of other boys, and the alarm being given, the Thames Police hastened to the spot with the grapnels and drags, and were for two hours endeavouring to find the bodies, in which they did not succeed. Yes- terday morning a similar accident occurred off Deftfoid. Several lads were bathing, and one of them suddenly got out of his depth and perished, It is a fact that last week the various coroners in and near the metropolis held twelve inquests on persons who were drowned while bathing m the rivers and canals.—Morning Chronicle of Wednesday.

The report is to be received to-moirow, to give the Marquess of Westminster an opportunity of proposing amendments in lhe bill. Lord Melbourne declared, in reply to a question by the AJdi- qiiess of 1 .oiutond'crry, thai Mr. O onnell s tnotiort for admit- ting Roriian Cdthoiic3 lo the Chancellorship of Ireland has not the suppoit or approbation of the Government. With this de- claration the noble Marquess was satisfied. The Church Dicipline Bill was referred to a Select Com- mittee. The house rose soon after seven o'clock. TUESOAY, JUNE 111 'lhe Duke of Beaufort directed attention to the .arming or the Charlists, espeiji^liy those of tlie borough of Sajford; who liad applied to the Lord Licilicnaht of thfe Coiiniy for leave ib arin ihemsfelves, and he understood they had about 1200 stand of arms at their command. Similar demonstrations weie made at Bath and Bristol, and lie (the Duke of Beaufort) had been ap- plied to on the same subject, and he distinctly stated, that no person had a right to make use of arms in a regular mililaiy manner unless under the command of an officer bearing the Queen's commiMibn. (lIeál, hfedr.) VftctHi¡;, Melbourne condemned the practice, and concurred will. the Noble Duke rcspecting the fcisohswho ought to carry arms.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY,…
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, JUNE 10. Lord Mo>p«lh stated, in answer to Mr. Lytton, that he thought it desirable to extend the Imprisonment for Debt Bill to Ireland. In answer to Sir S. Lushington, ftir. Labonchtre said that lie had no doubt the Order in Council for the Abolition of Slaveiy in the Mauritius had been carried into effect. Lord Ashley slated that he found the new Ministerial propo- sition as to Education as bad fis the old one, and he should feci it his duty tb take the sense of the house on the vote. Lord Stanley gave notice that he means to take the sense of the house on the Canada resolutions. After a little conver- sation, this led Lord J. RlIssellto give notice that he will with- draw his resolutions, and ask leave on Thursday to bring in a bill. The opposition object to proceed by a resolution, but they do not object to the bill. The House went into a Committee on the Jamaica Govern- ment BilL Sir E. Sudgen moved to leave out a part of the first clause, which would have mutilated the bill. The Ministers resisted the proposition, and, on a division, Sir Edward's motion was lost by a majority of 34, the numbers being 228 for the original clause, and 194 for the amendment. The Metropolitan Police Bill was discussed in committee. The Committee to devise means for taxing fruil was nomi- nated, after some opposition from Mr. Wakley.— Adjouined. TUESDAY, JUNE II. The Southampton lloads Bill was read a third time, tind passed. Mr. O'Connell postponed his motion for leave to bring it) a bill to enable Roman Catholics to hold the office of Lord Chan- cellor and certain offices in the Ecclesiastical Courts in Ireland until this day fortnight, when he should certainly bring the subject forward. In answer to a question from Sir J. Graham, Lord J. lluasell said, it was not intended to give the exclusive right of printing the Holy Scriptures in Scotland to any corporation or indi. vidual. He should propose that the Crown by royal charter should incorporate a number of persons, say five, to whom should be granted the exclusive right of allowing the printing of of the Bible. One of these five individuals should be the Mo- derator of the Church of Scotland, two other divines of that church, and the other two members of the Church of Scotland. This board would have the exclusive right of authorising the printing of the Bible under certairt restrictions. Sir J. Graham expressed himself satisfied with the explana- tion of the noble lord.-Adjourned.
DEVONSHIRE COUNTY MEETING…
DEVONSHIRE COUNTY MEETING TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN.—EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF THE HIGH SHERIFF. The Reformers having addressed a requisition to the High Sheriff of Devon, to convene a county meeting, to consider the propriety of addressing the Queen on the late ministerial crisis, the utmost activity had been displayed by the Tories from the moment that the Sheriff complied with the with of the requi- silionists, in order to defeat the object of the meeting. In order to meet the emergency of the case, letters were sent down from some of the landlords commanding their tenants to be present at the meeting and vole against the address snd the county members, together with the Eail of Devon and Sir Lawrence Palk, and other influential persons came from Lon- don expressly to attend the meeting. The Reformers, on the other hand, though less compact and united in action, were not backward in exertion, and a very numerous body came into Exeter, on Friday morning the 7th inst., and the previous evening—some of them having travelled nearly fifty miles, and many coming from a distance of twenty to forty miles. The time of meeting was fixed fdr an early hour, at which period the high sheriff, Codrington Parr, Esq., and the urfder sheriff, Mr. C. Brutton, the attorney, took their places, and commenced the business of the day. At this time there were on the hustings the following leading Reformers :—The Hon. Newton Fel- lowcs, Sir W. T. Pole, Bart., Sir Bourchier VVrey, Bart., Sir lowes, Sir W. T. Pole, Bart., Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart., Sir Humfrey P. Davie, Hart.. Sir Robert W. Newman, Bart., E. Divctt, Esq., M.P., T. Divett, Esq., Henry Fellowes, Esq., J. W. Buller, Esq., See. &c. and on the Tory side of the hustings there were tbc Bad of Devon, Lord Clinton, Lord Counenay, the Rev. Lord H. Kerr, Str T. At-hnd, M.P., &c. &c., and a host of parsons. As soon as the Sheriff hnd opened the business of the clllY, it was evident the Queen's party had a decided majority, and the Tories themselves admitted it by the uneasy aspect which they displayed. However, when the Sherin put the address he pro- fessed himself unable to decide whiirh party had the "how of hands and in this he was seconded by the under Sheriff, who is thesleward and personal friend of ihe Earl of Devon. Of course no one would charge the Sheriff with making a wilful mistake but the Reformers, neveriheless, believe that he did make a mistake, and that he was suffering under some optical infirmity, which gave his right eye a diminishing power and his left eye a multiplying power. The accommodation provided «|3S °' waS8ons» at 'he head of the Castle yard. The Shenffs's waggon was placed in the centre of the row—ihe Hc- toimers being on his right, and the Tories on his left. The yard is gravelled, but a pebbled path runs up the centre, about five feet in width. A line up the centre of this path would give the centre of the yard. The Reformers covered this path, and occupied four feet of ground on the Tory side of It, so that a "mistake" was never for a single moment apprehended by the Reformers. The disgraceful conduct of the Sheriff was greeted with three lusty groans, and he, along with the faction, retreated from the yard in double quick time.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE.—The Paris papers of Friday are totally desti- tute of news of the slightest interest to the forelgll readn On the Eastern question there was nothing new. The Journal des Debuts and other papers express their convic- tion that the anticipated conflict between the Turks and Egyptians will not take place. The Moniteur contains the fottowing. telegraphic des. patch — Bordeaux, June 5. I o'clock, p. m. "The Lieut. General, Commander of the 11th Milita.ty Divi- sion, to the Minister of War. Yesterday, at Saintes, nine of the 50 individuals implicated in the corn riots of La Rochelle were acquitted, and 41 sen- tenced to hard labour or imprisonment. They endeavoured by their tears and groans to stir up the population. The latter, however, remained cahn the prisoners were conveyed back to gaol, and public tranquillity was not disturbed." SPAIN. -The most important fact announced in Satur- day's papers (confirmed by lhe Madrid journals of the 2nd inst.) is the dissolution of the Spanish Cortes by a Royal Decree, dated the 2nd inst. The new Cortes are, by the same Decree, convoked for the 1st of September next. PORTUGAL.—The arrivals from Lisbon are of the 3rd inst. by the Liverpool steamer, which reached Falmouth on Saturday evening from the Mediterranean. The Por- tuguese Government was engaged in the preparation of a project of law for placing lie foreign and domestic credi- tors of the State on the same footing—a just and impartial measure, but one not the less likely to meet with deter- mined opposition on the part of the home creditors- UNITED STATES AND CANADA.—By the arrival of the packet ship Oxford, at Liverpool, 011 Sunday, we have re- ceived New York papers to the 20th ult. with a file of the Toronto Christian Guardian to the 15th ult. inclusive. As the papers by the Oxford from the United States, ate only two days later than those brought by the Liverpool steamer, they add little to our previous stock of news from the Slates. From the frontier the accounts continued to be very satisfactory. Acts of outrage were becoming of rare occurrence. Previous to the prorogation of the Legislative Assembly of the Upper Canada, on the 11th ult. that body adopted an address to the Queen by a majority of 21 votes against 12, in which they implore her Majesty not to with- draw from them immediately the protection of any portion of the troops now stationed in the two provinces. They deplore the vast expense which the British nation has tn- curred to maintain the supremacy of order, allegiance, and the laws, but they add that in the upper province it was not rendered necessary by internal treason, but by the hos- tile attacks of a neighbouring people, with whom her ISIa- jesty was professedly at peace, and wka ai* still waging war against the Crown and subjects of Great Britain. They request the Imperial Government to demand indem- nity for the destruction of the Sir Robert Peel steamer, and for the injuries sustained by individuals in their pro. perty by the lawless incursions of the sympathisers. Letters have been received from the squadron on the South American station up to the end of February, from which it appears that the blockade of Buenos Ayres by the French squadron was still continued, and without any mimrdiate prospect of its ending, the Government of Bue- nos Ayres being determined to resist the claims of the French, considering them to be most exorbitant.

THE CHARTISTS. ,
THE CHARTISTS. [F rom the 15/ istol Gazette.] ) A requisition wai presented to the Mayor a few days since, from some of the local Charlists, fOJ the use of the Guildhall, in which to hold a meeting to addiess Ihe Queen to adopt the People's Chrtrler. His worship, uith the concuricnce ol his brollicr magistrates, refused the application, and the conse- quence was that the Ctiariisis put out placards, anhouticing that the meeting would hfe held on Brandon-hill, on Monday after- r noon, at half-past five o'clock, alid that Messrs. Carpenter, Neesom and Mealing, would address the meeting, and that J. Fiost, Esq., was invited to attend. b At the hour mentioned we went to lhe Hill and found assem- bled some three or four hundied of men, women, boys and giils; and two green banners were stuck in the bushes on the ?ne Vox ij^.plili Peoplfeis (Charter E(jUcd Laws } Vox )ei antl on th'B o'lior, Peace,' Law,. Oidef, Justice." There wpre no hustings or anything of the kind, the speakers and their friends stationing themselves on the bank, and their auditory occupying lhe space below. After waiting about half an hour the proceedings commenced by a Mr. Chard being called to the chair, that is, he would have been called to lie chair but then; was no chair for him to take, so he merely took off his b-t and litntili at once by reading the placard calling the meeting; and then went oh to cellsure the rhagisltstfcs fci fe- fusing the use of the hall. The Chartists had always atled up to their motto of Peace, Law and Order, and did not be- have like those ctetica) sprigs at Cambridge, who commenced a riot at Ii meeting called by the chief magistrate, broke up the benches and set to fighting, and yet those men had the audacity to say that the Chartists were disorderly. The chairman, after expatiating on this topic for some t me, called on the meeting to preserve peace and order, and to give their enemies no ad- vantage by a premature outbreak. The persons who had called the meeting, acting in that spirit, had judged it right to have no procession. The chairman also read a letter from Mr. Frost, in which that gentleman declined attending the meeting, as- signing the reason, as we undeistood, that it might have a pre- judicial effect as regaided his friend Vincent. Mr. Lewis then moved the address to the Queen, calling upon her Majesty to adopt the Charter, and asked what she would do with all the gewgaws and butterflies of the Court without the bones and sinews of the working classes. The Liberals were always calling upon the people to rally round them, but the people had been deceived and would not come to help them again. The first Reformed Parliament had given Ireland the Coercion Hill; atd the last, had suspended the Constitution of Canada. The Whigs also had sent the vVeavers of Glasgow to the hulks, and gave pensions to persons to go throughout the country and lear assunder the cords of domestic affection. Mr. Clements seconded the motion and said, that there was an individual present at the meeting, who had informed him that one of ihe Tories said they came to the last meeting on purpose to have a smack at them, and white he said so he pul- led out a pistol, list peihaps if they had tiicd on a second edition of Ijevizes, tfiey ridght have had the tables turned upon y them. The magistrates did not care for the pfetftfe of the city, but thought only of slaughtering the working classes, and thai was the reason that the mayor and his brother magistrates wiote to Lord John Iluisell for the military who came down by forced marches, and who, when they arrived, looked most rascally done for. But it was in vain to try to put the Chaitists down by force, there were thousands who would join them when the time came, but who were now afraid because of their masters. Air. thfen addressed himself to the reporters of the Liberal press, but in the midst of his observations a bustle arose from a great number of persons running off the Hill we Were told because a cry of the" Soldiers" had been raised, so that we were unable to hear more than that Rome and Catthagcmj were once the pride of the world. Mr. Carpenter rose to support the adoption of the address to the Queen, though his faith was not large that she would accede to its request. The battle between the aristocracy and the democracy was commencing, and the sham fights of the Whigs and Tories for the spoil were superseded. The Liberals had joined the lllibetals, and the two were now opposing the rights and liberties of the people, but the people (would not counte- nance them. Hut though the Queen might not accede to their request, it was light to adopt the address, because it would put their enemies to the blush when they asserted that the Chartists were not disposed to adopt legal and constitutional means to gain their rights. That was the first time he (Mr. C.) had come to Bristol and when he came there he was told that he placed himself in some jeopardy; and a paragraph was shown him in Felix Farley's Journal calling upon the life and pro- pelly" men to be at their posts, and, if any individual uttered a seditious sentence, to seize on him at once, and inflict sum- mary punishment. That was the advice of this lover of order. (Cheers.) He (Mr. C.) should like to ask Felix Farley what he considered seditious. Would it be seditious for him (Mr. C.) to say that there were three millions of working men, who did not get 3s. tkl. a day for sixteen hours' labour, while the Queen had £1000. a day Would it be sedition to say that English- men were not worthy of the name of men, if they sat down con- tented with such a state of things! lie saw there were re- porters present, and he hoped they would take down all he 3aid j for he should utter nothing which he should not he glad of having an opportunity of arguing before any judge on the bench, or magistrate in session. He would not be deterred from ex- pressing his indignation at the present stale of things. At pre- sent several members of the Convention were in prison, charged with the serious offence of making men discontented with their present situation. Now he (Mr. C.) came down yesterday by the coach, and there was with him a passenger who expressed great apprehension of the Chartists, and he (Mr. C.) would-re- late what passed between them. His neighbour began by con- gratulating himself that the 1st of May had passed off well, and he hoped that the 1st of July would also. He (Mr. C.) asked him what it was he was afraid of. Oh he leplied, those Chailists. A friend of his, in Yorkshire, had 500 workmen, and since the Chartists had got amongst them he could not trust one of them. The men were very well off too -only worked 13 or 14 hours a day and there was not a man amongst them (who was a good workman) but could earn his 10s. a week some got as much as from 20s. to 30s. a week." He (Mr. C.) asked him if that was what lie meant by being well off? And yet that man was a reasonable and fair man, and might be taken as a specimen of the middle classes, who regarded the working men only as so many machines, to be used for the production of wealth. Ought they, would they, allow such a state of things to continue ? (" No !") Their first step, then, was to organize themselves, either in separate bodies, or in one large body. Disunited, they could do nothing. it was no use for them just to come to the mett.ng and chcer, and then go away resolving to do something, but doing nothing. I f they did so they were nothing but a rope of sand. Let them take a lesson from their enemies. Let them look at the way in which the life and properly" men acted and let them band together—not to take away any man's property, or to do injus- tice to any one but to assert their rights as Englishmen, and to claim a fair subsistence as the fruit of their mental and bodily )I IC toil. Mr. C went on to contend for Universal Suffrage, which he said was a bread and cheese question, for thiough it they would get a better House of Commons and a better Govern. ment, which would reduce taxation. There was not a man who earned 30s. a week, but had to pay out of it in taxes 15s. Mr. C. concluded by urging his auditors to join the Working- men's Association, and declaied that if they did not come for- ward, he for one would no longer assist them. Mr. Neesom then come forward and announced himself as their representative, and asked how they liked him, and pro- s ceeded at some length to address the meeting but we regret our inability to understand his speech preventsour repoilin it at full length. He accused some parlies of eating the flesh ar.d d.inking the blood of. the working classes, recommended Ste- phens's sermons as being able to make his hearers wise unto solvation, and declaied it was no use toeducate men wilh empty bellies. How were they to get full bellies 1 why, by universal suffrage. It said the people were too ignorant to have votes, but they were not too Ignorant to pay taxes; and if they were too ignorant to assist In making and understanding the laws, then they were too ignorant to obey them. I here would soon be a general ele( tion, and then he should stand forward as their repose tat.ve. Mr. N. concluded by reading the mani- fest lately put out by the convention, and asking his hearers If they would adopt and abide by the same. Mr. Mealing next harangued his auditory but all that we could gather fiom his address was his urgent and extreme da- siie to new tin the kettle," which as the gentleman, we are informed, is a brazier, seems to be a very reasonable and sensi- ble wish on his part. Mr. Rice followedin a similar strain, and next came Mr. Oark, who deprecated the course pursued by the middle classes. r Le Iw en again read the manifesto and questions of the National Convention, and called upon the meeting lo signify whether they world adopt the same by a show of hands, on which a considerable number were held up. 1 he Chairman then announced that the meeting was ad- journed and after giving three cheers for Vincent, and three groans for Fellx tarle;fs Journal and the Mercury (as we un- derslood) the crowd dispersed. ihe whole, a more paltry exhibition was never witnessed. e speec es were tame and vapid to a degree the numbers utter y insignificant, and a total want of any thing like zeal or enthusiasm characterised the whole proceedings.]

DEMONSTRATION AT GLASGOW. The great Glasgow demonstration in favour of Universal Suf- frage, was held upon the Green on Monday, in accordance with the resolution of the National Convention, to have simultaneous meetings in all the large cities in Scotland and England. From an early hour in the morning, bands of music were perambu- lating the different quarters of the city, which had the effect of ringing out large numbers. They continued to do so till the hour of meeting, when they entered the Green, followed by the several districts to which they had been appointed. A great number of flags were upon the ground, amongst which were nspicuous two black ones, one of which was a death's-head and cross-bones, with the motto—" Death shall be the tyrant's lot." .)

HYDE (CHESHIRK,) h' 10.-0,1 ?«lriVclay last, Mr. Peter Murray M'Douall, of Rnmsbottom, near Bury, fh '.•t'rteasliire, member for Ashton-undcr-Lyne in the Convention, was appre- hended by J. S. Barrett, high-constablc of the Stockportdivision of the county of Chester, by virtue of a warrant issued by Hyde John Clarke, fcsq., Pud John Turner, Esq., of Godlcy, near Hyde, in lltfe dduiily of CiieslfeC. A man named John Bradley, of Hyde,' clojjger, wafc Also included in (he warrant. Tile tvd+rririt having t'Urf placed In the hands of Mr, Barrett, he went over to HOOlSbmiolil tin Sntdfcf&'y; fiflrc!, meeting with M'Douall al home, apprehended him without fhe least difficulty. It is -led that Al-Doxitill was at the time cleaning a brace of pistols, and that he had a leaded rifle in the room where he was found* but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of this laiter sla'e- mfcnf. He was, .however, hurried off in a chaise lo Stockport, where he was placed iit 1'66 gao). Bradtey, also, the other party mentioned in the warrant, was liKe'i'se Apprehended and taken to Stockport. The magistrates having been a'pprfsfefl of the apprehension of the parties, directed that they should be brought up before them this morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Commercia) Inn, in Hyde The prisoners' friends immediately set to work to procuie bail, and the thiilg having become pretty public, a large concourse of people arrived in Hyde this morn- ing from the neighbouring (owns. A party of the 10th Foot, from Dukenfield barracks, were posteijl on a hill commanding the road, so as to take the neefcssary1 means for preventing a rescue, if it shottld be attempted; The magistialfes Arrived at ihfe Cofrimfertial Inn about eleven o'clock, and Mr. Richard Cobbett, nftd had been sent for by the prisoners' friends, arrived soon afterwards. It was not un- til about twelve o'clock that Mr. Barrett arrived from Stockport with his prisoners, They were in an omnibus, and were es- corted by a troop of carabineers, and a parly of the 86th Foot from Stockport. Mr. llibbcrl, solicitor, then proceeded to state the charge aga'ifiat the prisoner. Ihis was an information laid actios! Peter M'Douall,- of Panisbollom, and John Bradley, of llydc, charging them with fuiving liífènlled fin unlawful meeting at Hyde, on the 22nd of April last. Havitig nlltidcd to the evi- dence which he should have to lay before the cotirt, Mr. H ih. bert called John Galley, the dejiuty-constablc Of ilyde, who proved the chargcs. The Magistrates directed Mr. M'Douall to find bail, himself in £ 500., and two sureties in .£250, each, to answer the charge at the next Chester Assizes and Bradley was directed to find bail, himself in £ 60., and two sureties in .£30. cach, also to answer the charge at the Chester Assizes. Bradley's frieftds immediately procured the necessary sure- ties, and he was forthwith liberated but, after waiting half an hour, the magistrates having been iftfotmed that responsible parties would be forthcoming, directed tlutt M'Poanll should be taken back to Stockport, and to be brought up before them at the court-house there, when, if unexceptionable parties offered themselves as bail, they would dispense with the notice tfrhich they would otherwise require. The dragooHs were consequently ordered to remount, nnd M'Douall, having been Conducted tg the omnibus, was con. veyed back, under escort to S'ockport.

TilE CIIARTIST AOITATION.-We are inclined to thifik that the recent demonstrations" have all but extinguished the Chartist agitation, which they were intended to promote and extend and this result has been brought about, not only by their utter failure in point of numbeis, but by the miserable shrifiking Of the agitaiois from their previous thicats. Accoid- ing to their speeches and writings, the demonstrations weie to deiive their impoilance, not only from the immense numbers who were to be assembled, but also from the ulieiior uua- sures" which were to be there propounded and adopted ) and large numbers of the deluded woikmen spent their money in pikes and fire-aims, in the full expectation that they would as- semble in arms in the W hllsun-week, and proceed themselves to establish the "Charter" forthwith. The great falling off in point of attendance, which was manifest and conspicuous, notwithstanding the efforts of their leaders to deny it, very much damped the spirits of the multitude and when the III. terior measures came to be propoullded-when they heard that, instead of assembling in arms. and taking the whole affair into I heir own hands, their leaders proposed nothing more cogent than an abstinence from excisable commodities, which they do not choose to give up, and a run upon the Savings' Banks, where they have no money—their disappointment was extreme. We understand that in all pails of the neighbourhood, they very plainly avow their disgust with the conduct of the agita- tors who have been fleecing them of their money, and deceiving them by representations which they now discover to be totally unfounded.— Manchester Guardian. TuvKuMuny.—The inhabitants of this ancient and loyal borough were gratified on Tuesday by the apparition of a pro- fusion of placards, posted on every dead wall of the town, in- forming them that in the evening the principles of the "Charier" would be expounded by John Frost, Esq., and other gentle- men," at the While Lion Inn. The managers of the move men! had, however, liicrally "counted without iheir host," as lie of the While Lion most resolutely refused lo have anything to do with them. far less permit the meeting to take place on his premises. This was rather a damper but having, al last, fixed upon holding their demonstration" in the Oldbury, and having seized upon a large dray belonging to the railway woiks in the neighborhood, they proceeded to set out upon it sundry chairs, and a table for the use of the orators their moilitii a- tions were not yet over, as their table and chairs were speedily ejected from lhe dray by some of lhe gentlemen connected viiili lhe ail way, amid the laughter of 1 he crowd. Aboul eight c'dock two itineianl oratois made their appearance, escorted by a female patriot, tvell known to the good folks of Tewkes- bury, but the ex-Welsh Justice was nan est inventus. An attempt was made at speechification, on the old topics" noble cause," villany of the aristocracy immaculatcness of all who vvield the hammer, throw the shuttle, or reccive wages for any other labour; and lhe justice of all masters being speedily turned into servants. Between, however, the cooling effects of a drizzling rain that fell just then, and the opposition of rival orators, the speakers had no chance, and fairly gave in alter some twenty minutes' trial. An attempt to raise a trifle in the shape of "rent" succeeded as badly; twiliail the Cliasti ts belter luck in a small affair-of fistycuffs, which some of them tiied with their opponents; so that, baffled and beaten on all hands, they at length fairly gave in, utterly chop-fallen, and completely" out of sorts with fortune."

ATTEMPT or A LUNATIC 10 ENTER HI'CKINGHAM PA- LAC E.-Oil Monday night a daring attempt was made to force an entrance into Buckingham Palace. It appealed that about nine o'clock the sentinel 011 duty in that part of the garden immediately beneath the terrace of the notlli wing heard a rustling among the shrubs, and upon looking round he saw a man emerge from them and immediately prepare to ascend the steps of the terrace. The sentinel called out, when the man answered, It is all right;" and the soldier seeing that lie was dressed as a labouring man, conjectured that lie was employed either in the garden or kitchen. The man then I asscd upthe steps, and, having reached the terrace, walked some paces towards a glass door which leads into the interior, when lie was noticed by one of the ladies' maids who was sitting near the door, and who, upon seeing him, screamed out to the soldier to seize him as he was a stranger, and from his singular and fero- cious appearance she imagined that he meant harm. The soldier immediately secured him, and intelligence baving been forwarded to the police on duty at the Palace, In- spector Russell was immediately on the spot, and the man was delivered over to him. The prisoner then began to use the most horrible language, called the Queen by every opprobrious term, and repeatedly said his intention was lo have killed her Majesty he had come there for no other purpose." The prisoner, who is a middle-aged man, and apparently of great strength, made much resistance, but the inspector succeeded in getting him out of the palace, and into the Birdcage-walk, where he became so violent that it was found necessary to handcuff him. The inspec- tor afterwards obtained a tile of the guard of the Welling- ton Barracks to assist him in conveying him to the station house in (jaidiner s-lane. All the way there and upon his arrival he continued applying epithets to the Queen totally unlit for publication, and several times lamented he had not killed her. It being evident that the man was mad, his actions were watched aH night, durini: the major nart of which he continued quite furious. Yesterday morning a private examination of the prisoner took place before Sir Frederick Roe at the Home-office, and after evidence em- bracing the facts detailed above had been given, he was remanded in order that he might be visited by expeiii nced surgeons, and his connections inquired into, the prisoner having refused to state who or what he was. He was afterwards removed toTothillfielrls Bridewell. On Wednesday a woman named Corderoy, was shot by her husband with a pistol at Reading. She had re- proached him with infidelity, and during aquarrel, in con- sequence of the accusation, he committed the horrid crime the ball lodged in the poor woman's head, and her case is hopeless. They have a family of ten children. Ilors.—The accounts from the hop plantations in Kent, are at present unfavourable, but of course no opinion can yet be formed of the probability of a crop.

Warren accomplished the extraordinary and difficult feat of dragging a hand fly with 14 stone weight in it, altogeiher weighing about 5 cwl., from the High-street, to a place called Cold Comfort, a distance of seven miles, in three hours and thirty-five minutes, for a sum of f 10. Wanen won the wager easily in two hours an fifty-six minutes, although a great part of the road was very duly and difficult to travel in addition to which his opponenls, in the most shameful manner, secretly placed a quant.ty of large stones in a narrow lane, along which he had to pass, evidently to prevent his accomplishing the feat, and by which means Warren almost broke the fly to pieces— Cheltenham raper. J r MUNIUCFNCE or THE GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER.-A para- graph thus headed, and stating that a number of Poles, amount- ing to 600, had applied to his Imperial Highness for. and ob- lained from him, relief, has been going the round of the papers. As such a statement is calculated most grieviously to injure the character of the I oles » Ihe eyes of the public, we feel it our duty to call attention to the fact of its having been most poin- ted y contradicted by Lord Dudley Stuait in a letter addressed by him on lhe subject .0 several papers, from which it appears that the number of Poles relieved by .he Grand Duke amounted to hix, instead and that those six were individuals who had been refused relief by the government, as unworthy cha- racters J It has recently been repeatedly slated, both in our home and the forcignjoinnals. that application had been made to Mebe- met All tor permission for a body of British troops to pass through Lgypt, on their way to India. The number of the troops varied, in the different accounts, from three to six thou- sand men, and various have been the conjectures as to whether or not Ihe I acna would or would not grant the required per- mission one journal went so far as to state that he had given his consent, on condition, however, that the troops should march without arms, the officers being only allowed to retain their swords, The whole thing is a mere invention we never dreamt of asking for any such permission, and we may safely add, that whenever it becomes necessary to re-enforce our armies in India, or elsewhere, we have sufficient means of our own at hand to do so effectually, without soliciting the permis- sion of a Pacha.—Observer. e

DISTRESS IN TUB WEST OF IRELAND.—We regret 10 II that much distress prevails in the west of Ireland, and that visions have reached almost a famine piice. Sir W illiam bazon, one of the Members for Mayo, has addressed a Ictfl the landed proprietors of thai county, calling their allenliol these appalling facts, and suggesting the propriety of a p* subscription to purchase a few cargoes of provisions, to be to the poor at reduced prices. The Hon. Baronet has sigfl it his rntention to subscribe £50. for this purpose, and we this liberality will be imitated by the other large landed piieiors of the county, It is much to be feared that if pr< and energetic measures be not taken to avert it, there is < probability of a recurrence of the melancholy visitation of 1' —Snn. ¡ PAISLEY, JUNE 8.-Boy BIT BY AN ADDER.—On the! ult., a boy of (he name of Platl, when gathering sticks ill Linwood Moss, felt himself smartly wounded on the upped of his foot, and, on looking down, found thdt he had un^ nately set his foot upon an adder his foot instantly swelll a great size, and wiih difficulty he reached home.

lo the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. In the Merlin of last week, there appeared a letter sigt J. Matthews," dwelling, at some length, on a paragraph I had bcen inserted in the Western Vindicator a week or two respecting his having discharged one of his woikmen for b* a Chartist; using, at the same time, very violent oaths, alth"1. professing religion; and as you did not hesitate logive insC to an accusation against me, contained in that letter, I en" ihink you will impartially refuse me replying to it, through medium of our columns. I am a poor working-class man, ^nd cannot well cope medium of our columns. I am a poor working-class man, ^nd cannot well cope Mr. Mallhews's legal friends, or their letters, although 111 be able to cope with Mr. M.'s assertions. The letter says that Mr. Matthews did not discharge J for being a Chartist. It was because I was one, that he;, charged me. He says that on the Monday or Tuesday, <*■ I entered his shop, I began a general attack on mayistrfl' constables' &c. This I deny. It was he who commenced dispute, by taunting me respecting the getting on of Chartists, and respecting our being done now—the agltlll, being in prison. He says I applied epithets the most V lent and acrimonious," to Ihe magistrates and others who engaged on the trial of Vincent. I deny it. No epithets applied to a single man, till long after that part of the cOn4 sation relating to them, and then,—asking Mr. Matthews 1' were not to be a witness on the assize trial, to which he' swered that he might, if called upon,—I did make use Of "epithet," by saying that Mr. Oitrniig Outang was to he • I had heard. Now this gent., so curiously named, must stitute individually the collective body of magistrates, y stables, and others," according to Mr. Matthews's ac, ago I of my having used epithets the most virulent and "Cflll., nious." It was to Mr. O. O. alone, that any epithet wn4 1 plied, so that on this point, Mr. Matthews has falsely ad'Jti me j and instead of copiously turning my abuse on him. j he asserts I did, he immediately commenced a most virul", and unchristian attack on me, by oaths the most profane, 1 curses the most deep, applying epithets of a fiendish na'j calling me "a would-be assassin," Sec., &c. Now, he 1 his foreman was present; and he mentions this, thinkil^i give a more substantial appearance to the assertions hcjfl made. His foreman tens present, but instead of having lell" town, as Matthews might have supposed, he is still here, denies his assertion, and corroborates mine. He says h«( sisted on my leaving his shop, but not so roughly as I deser' Was he "a. would-be assassin?" or would he becom; physical-force man ? When he understood me to be a Char'! and taunted me with the ruin of my party, and sneered fill course taken by the Chartists, and denounced them an.l nuj Chartist, he did not remember th^t had I been an inHue^i customer, he could have turned his acrimonious abuse" the most laudatory strains. Hoping that you will not make me bear Mr. Matthe^ assertions, unanswered by this letter, I remain, sir, your obedient servant, r Club-row, June 13, 1839.. RICHARD WORKM^
