      THE BEST MEDICINE IX THE WOKLD . This medicine has bfen before the British public enly a few vears , and perhaps in the annals of the world was sever seen success equal to their progress ; the virtues of _yt _, ; . ; _ifedi-ine wereat once _acknowledged wherever trie Q , and recommenda tion _followed recommendation ; bun . fired * had soon to _acknowledge that Pas _' _. Lux Pills had _ggved tbem , and were loud iu their praise . The _sUrfh-g aet sthat were continually brought before _t'so public at once removed any _prejudice wbich some maj have felt ; the cont inual good wbich resulted from their use spread their ame far and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a _countr ? on thefaceof the glob , which has not heard of tfceir benefits , and have _ssught for _supplies :, whatever might be the cost of transmission . The United _States , Canada , In _. ia , and even China , have had immense quan . titles shipped to their respective countri s , and witn the Mine _resuit as ia Eng land—Universal Good . The sale of Pake ' s Life _Piixs amounts to upwards Of 8 D _, _Ooa boxes weekly , more than all other patent medicines put _together . This simple fact needs no further comment ; t tells plainly that the pills of Old Parr is The Best _Medicias in the World . The following , with many others , haTe boen recently received : — Communicated by Mr W .

      Aeronaut, W&. Announced To Commenca A Se...

      aeronaut , w & . announced to commenca a _sencs balloon _exppriments on the Continent , the first of whi"h was to bave taken place at tbe Pr . ido gardens j in Brussels . Some difficulty having arisen , however , ; es to the gas for _iirfluion , which was refused tobe j supplied by the English Continental Gas Company , notwithstanding the _wig _ . 3 of a large number of the consumers , Mr Coxwell was obliged to fill his balloon sit another pas establishment , which is abont two mile 3 from tbe place of ascent , "Unfortunately the weather was extiemelj _unoropitioas for tho re- ' moving of tbe balloon in an . united state ; but aa a _: postponement had taken place on the previous Sun- J day , Mr Coxwell was inclined to make the attempt , ' and in proceeding to do so , he and hia gigantic bal- j loon were driven back with fury , aad the huge aerial monster was for a timo secured in a field awaiting a lull of the wind . Tiai wayward element , however , increased in violence , and the balloon waa thrown a () 3 Ht wit & such frightful force that the safely of the balloon snd aeronaut were frequently perilled . _Mr Coxwell , with great coolness and presence of mind , assured the affrighted spectators that he did not feel the least fear , and as it is was impossible for him to remove his balloon , and the authorities having intimated that the collecting ef the mob was _objectionable , he was resolved to take one step that would at once set tbe matter at re _. ti Every person round the balloon then begged that the gas might be let off , but Mr Coxwell declined doing so , and stated , that as it was his first attempt in Belgium , he wasdetermiaed , if possible , to perform that whioh he had promised , and as a British aeronaut hs deolineu hauling down his colours , and would stand by them until they were blown from the mast head , or honourably lost . He then requested a friend , of the name of Washington , to take his seat in the car , and the _bali loon waa admirably prepared for flight with as much j coolness as if it had been for a calm voyage . At the | word * _« let go' being given . it dashed before the wind with surprising rapidity , and sailed along ; for more tban fifty miles , passing nearly over _Malines , and then going to the Probivel _D'Auvers , where a very rough but safe descent ' , was effected with great skill on a common afc Oolen , near Ilerenthals . The { distance travelled being aboutfifty-five miles , which was _performed in twenty minutes . COLUSIOS BETWEEN THE POLICE AKD THB POPULACE at Norwich . —On Friday week a rather serious encounter took place in this city between a party of the police sad a numerous mob , who , with stones and broken bottles , kept ap a furious attack on the former during their passage through several streets frora the police office to the gaol , as an escort to some paupers who had refused ( after a former imprisonment for a similar refusal ) to be separated in tiie workhouse from their wives . Tea police were compelled at length to turn in their own defence , and having made several charges with their stave . effectually dispersed the rioter ., but not until numbers w £ re ieverely hurt on both sides . The tumult was not quelled till about one o ' clock the following morning , Charles Limb , being once incon ? iderately invited to a party where there were a number _ofteasinc children assembled , and being called upon at supper f . r a toast , give the ' _m-rn-much _ca-ca lumniated _g-good King Herod .

      Central Criminal Court. A Pomctman Kille...

      CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . A PoMCTMAN KILLED WITH ni 3 OWN _SlA _* F . — -P , C oakley , 25 , and J . Coakley , 24 , brothers , were indicted hr the manslaughter of Daniel Harker Monk , a police-constable . On tho 30 th of April tho deceased waa on duty in George-street , St Giles ' s , when he had occasion to apprehend a street beggar , and wai taking him to the police-station when the prisoner Jerome interfered ; a struggle ensued , during which both Coakley and the officer fell , and while they were in that position the other prisoner took the _constable ' s staff from him and a truck hira a violent b _' ow on the head . Although tho injury wae severe it appeared that at that time no serious

      consequences were expected , and Jerome waa committed summarily for a month , and Patrick was sent for trial for the assault . But soon afterwards the deceased became much worse , and died on the 28 th of May , the coroner ' s jury returning a verdict of manslaughter against both brothers . Mr Justice Patteson having expressed an opinion that the charge could not ba supported against Jerome , as he did not appear to have had anything to do with or to be even aware of the blow with the staff being struck by his brother until after the affray , the jury acquitted him , and returned a verdict of guilty against Patrick . — His lordship sentenced him to bs transported for

      seven years . Rior and Robbery . —Joseph Crane , aged 20 , waa indicted for assaulting Thomas Woodward , and taking from his person the sum of five shillings , his monies . The prosecutor stated that he was a watchmaker , living in _Jewin-cre-cent . On the afternoon of Thursday week , he and his brother were passing through Virginia-row , Hackney-road , when they were met by a crowd of persons , who were returning from the Chartist meeting that had been held that day in Bonner ' s-fields . One of the persons , on see _« ing them , called out there go two government spiesthey are b—y specials—upon which an attack was made on them by a mob of moro than twenty _persons , who knocked them down and kicked them . They got into a house for shelter , but the mob followed them . Witness waa knocked down in the room ; while he was on the ground , the prisoner put his

      hands in his pockets , and sto ' e all the money he had . The mob outside threatened to pull the house down , if the people did not turn tho _witness out , and _tfeej were turned out accordingly , and again ill-treated , but eventually some persons rescued them . On the following evening , witness aad bis brother saw the piisoner in Shor . ditcb _, who , on seeing that they were following him , suddenly bolted into the Standard Theatre , followed by _witnesB and his brother , who , with the assistance of tne police , took him into custody at the close of the performance . Frederick _Woodwsrd , the prosecutor ' s brother , swore positively to the identity of the prisoner . Mr Payne addressed thej . ryon his behalf , and called T . _Wildash _. and two of his sisters , for the purpose of proving that the prisoner waa at their _houBeat tbe time ofthe robb _. ry . The jury being satisfied with the evidence proving the alibi , Acquitted the prisoner .

      THE RIOTS IN BIS _. IOP BONNER'S FIELDS . _Genrtje Coulin _) ., D _. nnia _Callagban _, Thomas Jones , Henry Illman , Wm . Moston , Henry Whitehead , George Blackburn , John Kingston , Thomas Hayes , and Charles Bailey , were indicted for unlawfully , with others , riotous ' v assembling together to disturb the peace , and _assaulting divers constables and police io the execution of their duty , in Bonner ' s-fields on Sunday , the 4 th June . Mr Bjdkin and Mr Clarkson appeared for the prosecutien ; and Mr Ballantine , Mr Payne , and Mr Parry appeared fur several of the prisoners .

      InBpect r Shackell stated that he was in Bonner ' s--fields on Sunday , the 4 th of the present month . The _orisonera at the bar were present on the occasion , and assisted in pelting and ill-using the police when they broke up the meeting . Witness waa very much hurt himself . He saw the prisoners throw stones at the windows of the church , of which about 35 or 36 panes were broken . Two meetings took place on the Sunday , at which several thousand persona were preset ,.. There were about sixty police stationed in the church , who were called out when the windows of the church were pelted and broken ; they were then under the direction of Inspector Waller . Inspector Shackell could speak positively to seeing the _prisoners Bailey and Callaghan throw stones at the church , and the other prisoners were among the mob .

      Inspector Waller was at the meeting on Sunday , the 4 th of JuDe , and had charge of the police on the occasion . As witness was returning from the church cries wera raised of ' There goes the K inspector ; down with him- ' Witness was then attacked , stones thrown at him , which hurt him in several parts ofthe body , but not seriously . Ho succeeded in getting into the church , and immediately he beard the windows crash . Upon an intimation from Inspeotcr _ShackeJl _, witness came out of tbe church witb fortyone policemen , who had no other arms but their

      Btave 3 . Witness requested the mob to disperse , and upon his doing ao another volley of stones was thrown at them ; one serjeant and seven men were wounded ; there were several cut in the head . Witness then directed the men to disperse the mob ; they attempted do so , and were resisted by the mob moat obstinately , bat ultimately the police succeeded . The _oolice were again attacked by the mob before the City of Paris publio house ; atones were thrown , but the police succeeded , after a great deal of trouble , in dispersing them * .

      Cross-examined by Mr Parry—The police were in the church during the afternoon service . A _pertion of them marched into the church while tho service was being performed . The police had nothing to drink , or any refreshment whatever . Saw none of the police drinking in the City of Paris public house . The mounted police came up afterwards with cavalry swords . Could uot say whether they were drawn or not . Could not tell how many police wero at Bonner ' s-fields on Sunday , 4 th of June . Did not see the mounted police riding about the field with their drawn cutlasses . Wu Charles Potter , ona of the police of the K division , saw the prisoner Couling tako stones and throw at the windows of the church .

      David Kilgqur , another policeman of the K division , corroborated the statement of Inspector Waller . Witness was struck by the prisoner Illman with a bar of iron . He took him into custody with the assistance of a special constable . Fhaxcis _Loaveb _, another policeiaaD , corroborated the evidence of Kilgour . Cross-examined by Mr Pahbt—Could not tell how many heads , legs , or arms wero broken by the polico OR Sunday , the 4 th of June . Did not know whether the London Hospital was crowded with patients in consequence of wounds from the police . Saw the mounted police riding round the field with their drawn cutlasses , and the mob flying before tbem . When the police got to the City of Paris _pablio house , they saw several _peraons sitting outside the house _drisking , and they drove them all away .

      Frederick Shaw , another policeman of the K division , identified Whitehead as one ofthe persons who threw atones at the police , and took him into custody . Cross-examined by Mr Ballantike—Witness went to Bishop Bonner ' s fields by order of Inspector Shackell , ia j-lain clothes , in order to see what was going on . _Westby , K , deposed to _takingtwo persons prisoner _, and hearing Blackburn call upon the mob to rescue them . Another policeman deposed to Kingston ' s exciting the mob to fall on the police , do . taking him into CU 8 " tody . Heard ories of' Shame . ' Cross-examined by Mr Parry—Kingston was put into the vault of the Church , with several others .

      Several other policemen deposed to seeing the other prisoners either exciting the mob or throwing _stODGS , and several persons who had been sworn aa special constables , corroborated tbe statements made by the different policemen that had been examined . They _alse deposed to the fact of a great number of the police being severely wounded . Several of the inhabitants ofthe neighbourhood of Bonner ' s fields deposed to the terror caused to the peaceful inhabitants of that neighbourhood by the meetings that took placo on Sunday , the 4 th of June , the riotous conduot of the mob , and the forbearance on the part of the _pelice _. who had in Baveral instances been violently used by the mob . Mr Patne first _addressed the _juty , and he

      commenced by expressing an opinion that the proceedings eut of which the prosecution arose was in reality a very contemptible affair , and that much more importance had been given to it than it deserved . He did not care a _etraw for either Whig , Tory , or Chartist , but ho did not believe that the disturbances in queation bad anything whatever to do with any political party , and was of opinion that the police had in a . great measure brought what occurred upoa themselves , by their unnecessary violence . He could not also help thinking that if something was done to ameliorate the wretched condition of the lower classes , it would have much more effect in preventing tha demonstrations that had been ao muoh talked about , and would do a great deal more good than

      would ever be effected by Colonel Rowan . Mr Mayne , the police , and speoial constables , or the Duke of Wellingt in and the whole armed force of the country . It was ridiculous to suppose that persons like the prisoners , many of whom were mere boys , could have bad any serious intention of upsetting the government ; and he believed that notwithstanding the _mi-ery they endured , the poorer classes of England were sound at heart , and were attached to the throne and their country . The learned counsel then proceeded to comment upon the evidence , and urged upon the jury that even supposing they should consider tbey had taken a part in this ridiculous affray , ho trusted they would think the injuries they had received and the _incarceration they had already suffecel a sufficient punishment .

      During the address of Mr Payne ono of the defendants , who had received a blow on the head from a staff , fainted , and appeared almost in a state of stupefaction during the remainder of the proceedings Mr Ballantike next addressed thejury for Whitehead , who , he said , waB no patriot ; hc knew nothing of the Chatter ; bad no sympathy with Mr

      Central Criminal Court. A Pomctman Kille...

      Mitchel , whom his learned friend had thought fit to introduce into bis speech , and was unaware of the existence of such a being . He was a bricklayer , and unfortunately ior himself he happened to be at Bonne . ' _.-fielda when theso meetings wore held , and he had thus unfortunately become mixed up with tho transaction . It was stated tha * . ho bad been seen to throw stones , but there waa not the slightest proof that he struck any one , or that he had done any _misohief whatever ; and he considered that the police were the most to blame in the matter . He would

      not enter into the _discussion of any political subject , but he did not think that the right of Englishmen to meet for discussion ought to be lightly interfered with . A prejudice waa said to be created in the minds of men who had a stake in the country , by being told that the meeting was of a character to create disturbance and violence , and the meeting was bo described ; but according to his view of tho cue , the whole affair had been most grossly _exaggerated , and that the police had improperly interfered , and by their own violence occasioned the disturbance that took plaoe .

      Mr Parrt took the same line of defence . lie did not believe , he said , thnt this meeting had any connexion with thnBe which had preceded it , and that tho whole affair arose from the police being placed in the church . Everything had been done to swell the importance ofthe proceeding , and to have heard hie learned friend ' s opening it might have been supposed that the offence amounted almost to treason . Everything was done to prejudice parties in the position ofthe defendants , upon this and every other occasion , for it appeared by the papers , that his learned friend , Mr Bodkin , upon some application with regard to the trial of a prisoner being made in the other court , had said that robbery formed generally a" portion of theBe Chartist meetings .

      Mr Bodkin begged to be allowed to explain tbat he had been misunderstood upon that occasion . What he said was that , as the case referred to was a charge of robbery arising out of a Chartist meeting , it bad better be taken with tho other cases that were connected with the same transaction . Mr Parry said he was glad this explanation had been given , because it certainly was an expression calculated to create a great deal of prejudice . Mr Parry then went en to denounce the conduot of the police as meat _Qnoona . itutional , and _averted that , in this instance , a mere street row had been _magnified into an important affray , but he trusted the jury would not give effect to such an attempt . Several witnesses were then called to speak to the character of the defendants , and according to their testimony they were all industrious _well-conduoted

      young men . The Commin _Sehjeant having summed up , the jury , after a short _delilecatioD , returned a verdict of guilty against all the defendants . Sentence was postponed . On Monday tho prisoners were ordered to be placed at the bar , when the Common Serjeant said they had been convicted , after a very long and patient inquiry of more than nine hours , ofthe offjnce of riotously assembling together and _assaulting the police in the execution of their duty . An attempt had been made to show that the police had exceeded ' . heir duty ; but it had failed entirely , for the evidence clearly showed that they had used no more violence thin was _necessary for the preservation of the

      publio peace . They might with perfect _propriety have prevented the meetings in question from taking place o the Sunday ; but they did _nst do ao , and remained perfectly quietly , and committed no act of ag . gresaion until Shackell , the inspector , was attacked , and severely injured . If men would commit these acts of violence , they must tako tho consequences ; and it was impossible to measure with nicety the amountof force that might be used to repel them . It was laid down by Lord Hale , that officers were justified at common law in resisting to the last extremity tor their own protection and the preservation of tho public peace -, and it seemed to him tbat , in the present instance , the police had done no more than their duty . He saw no mitigating _circumstaHceB in the

      case . The prisoners all appeared to be in work , and to havo ample means of subsistence , and they had no excuse for mixing themselves up with such lawleBB proceedings , If there was to be a _government , and if men were to live as heretofore in peace and quietness , such acts as these must be rep ressed , and but for the recommendation to mercy of tho jury , he should certainly have inflicted the full punishment fixed by the law for the offence of which they had been convicted . lie had most carefully _cmsidei-ed all the circumstances of the case , and the sentence tbat ought to be passed , and the result was that the

      court adjudged Ooullng . Callaghan , Jones , Moston , Whitehead , Blackburn , and Page to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year , and such of them a 8 were of full aee , in addition , to enter into a recognisance in £ 100 to keep the peace for two years , and those who were not of age to do the same upon pain of imprisonment . The prisoner _Kingston was ssntenced to six months' hard labour . Bingley to three , and Illman , who it will be recollected struck one ofthe _constabk's with an iron bar , Was 6 en . enced to two years' hard lab . ur . These three prisoners were also ordered to enter into their own recognisances in £ 100 to keep the peace for two years .

      The Court , on Monday morning , proceeded to dispose of the remaining charges of assaults committed upon __ tha _polies , on the occasion of the Chartist meeting at Bonner ' s Fields , on the 1 th of June . Mr Bodkin and Mr Clark again appeared to prosecute for the Treasury , instructed by Mr Hayward . Jeremiah Connelly , 26 . wasoonvieted of assaulting a police ] constable , naoied Bartholomew Ilagger . Tho defendant , it appeared , formed part of the mob , and after they were driven out of tbe field they congregated in the streets , in the neighbourhood . He was ordered to move on , but instead of doing so , he resisted , and kicked the constable in the groin . Sentenced to six months' hard labour . Isaac- Mallandino , 26 , wearer , was charged with assaulting James Harrington , a police constable , iu the execution of his duty .

      In this case , it appeared tbat the prosecutor and several other constables were ordered to clear the streets adjoining Nova Sotia Gardens , where there was aa assemblage of several thousand persons . The prisoner wss proved to bave formed part of the mob , and he was heard to call out , * Down with the police ; down with the —— specials ; ' and on the conBtablo ordering him to move on , he deliberately took a clasp-knife from bJ 3 pocket , and opened it , nod threatened that ho would stab any constable who touched hira . The constable went towards him , upon which the prisoner made a thrust at him with bis knife , but he was fortunately knocked down at the same moment by another officer , and thus prevented from doing the mischief which he evidently intended . Thejury found the prisoner Guilty , and he was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labonr .

      Richard Ilall 38 , and Ribort Margrie , 29 , were also charged wioh riot , and assaulting the poliee . In this case the prisoners were proved ts h __ ve thrown stones , and it also appeared that one of them , while the riot was going on , called for threo cheera for tho Charter . Thejury returned a verdiot of Guilty , when they were sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour , and at the expiration of their sentence they were ordered to enter into their own recognisances in tbe sum of £ 100 to keep the peace for ono year . - Henry Payne , 22 , and Richard Tattoo , 22 , were also charged with an assault . In tbis ca _. e , also , tho jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; Payne was sentenced to twelve months ' hard labour , and _Yatton to six months . Samuel _Strapps was convicted of a similar offence , and sentenced to nine months' hard labour .

      Gcorgo Stretford , 84 , wan also charged with an assault . Mr Bodkin said that in thia case he should decline to offer any evidence , and The Jury , therefore , returned a verdiot of Not Guilty . John Wedge , 18 , was indicted for an assault , but the evidence not being very conclusive , the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty .

      THE CHART-SI LEADERS . Mr Ballantike applied to the Court to reduce the amount ofthe recognisances that were required to be entered into by Joseph William ? , one of the _pertong charged with sedition , upon an affidavit which was put in . The affidavit stated that the defendant was a journeyman baker , and that he had been for several weeks out of employment , and while in eervice hia wages did not average more than 18 s , per week . The present amount of _recognisances was himself in JC 200 , and two sureties in £ 100 each ; and the affidavit stated that from hie position in life he was unable to obtain securities to such an amount-, aDd he , therefore , applied to the Court to reduce the amount for his sureties from £ 100 to £ 50 .

      Mr Robinson made a similar application on behalf of FusseU and Sharpe . They both Btated in their affidavits that they had been out of employment , and the former represented himself tobe a working jeweller , and that his wages when in employment were 50 . per week . The present amount required from them was for FusBelt himself in £ 300 and two sureties in £ 150 each ; and for the other the same as in the last case ; and both defendant ! stated that they were unable to obtain bad to that amount . Mr Bodrin . who appeared for the Crown , said , that with regard to ¦ Wil hams and Sharpe , a 8 they had m their affidavits stated that oa account of their position in life , they were unable to obtain Bureties to the amount required , and as there was every reason to believe that the statement eo made was correct he Bhould not offer any opposition to the _rdnnHnn of

      tne amount ot bail . With _reispect to the nthpr nri soner Fus _. _ell _, he thought that ' hi . _cLe _sUd upon a _different footing to thc others ; and he invited hi * lordship ' s attention to the depositions in that case mi h »? _, * £ _?* » - _f * _**<>«*<* take the same 5 fa £ _ffS as ho _di-l , h . s lordship would probably cons der that his recognisances ought not to be reduced . . Mil _™ ° . _* ' . _W"'fS ™ fwrcd to tho depositions , said that there certainly _appea-ed to bo a great dis ' tinction between the case of FusseU and the other attendants ; and he considered the _magistrates had exercised a very Bonnd distinction in fixing the

      amount of _recognisansos which he was required to enter into , and also in all the other cases . Ah however , the defendant had made an affidavit that he could not provide sureties to the amount required , he suggested that the amount of bail forthe defendant FusseU should be reduced from £ 150 to £ 100 ; that instead of two sureties for that amount that ho Bhould find four in £ 50 each . Mr Bodkin eaid he would willingly accede to the _suggestion of the Court . An order was accordingly made that Sharpe and Williams should each enter into their own recognisances in £ 200 , with two sureties in £ 50 each , and that FusseU should enter into hia own recognisance in £ 300 , with four sureties in £ 50 each . ¦ _ .

      Tuesday . —Alfred Canton was indicted for an assault . This case arose out of the tumultuous meeting held on Clerkenwell Green on the Sth of June , but it appeared that the prosecution wj . s not carried on by the Treasury . Mr Brierly held the depositions , and examined the _witnesses for the prosecution , at the request of the Court . Mr Metcalfe was for the defence . Tho evidence for the prosecution went to show that the defendant was among the mob , and that he was seen to throw stones at the police ; but on the part of the defence , witnesses were called who showed clearly that the _witnesse _. for the prosecution were mistaken as to the identity of the defendant , and the Jury stopped the case and returned a verdict of Not Guilty .

      Charles Manchee , 22 , and James Hayward , 19 were then charged with riot and assault , but they retracted their plea of not guilty aud pleaded Guilty . Michael _M'ManuB , 24 , surveyor , was also placed at thc bar . Ho was charged with assaulting a police constable in the execution of his duty . Mr Bodkin said that his learned friends who were instructed for the defendants _^ Manchee and Hayward , having intimated to him the course which they intended to adopt , he had considered their cases , and believed that the purposes of justice would be sufficiently answered by taking the receg _nisanc-s of Hayward and Manchee in £ 100 each , to appear and receive the judgment ofthe Court when called upon , and as to tbe third prisoner , M'Ma _nus , he did not wish to presB the present charge against him .

      The defendants Hayward and Manchee having entered into the reeognis __ ee- required of them were discharged from custody , and _M'Manus was at once sot at liberty .

      The Sfitalfield- Ha.Ndloo-. Weavers. Lat...

      THE _SFITALFIELD- HA . NDLOO-. WEAVERS . Late on Saturday evening a numerously attende ' meeting of the members of the broad-silk handloom _vreavorn , residing in the Bathnal-gre . n _dfs _. rict , was held at the Crown and Anchor , Cheshire street , Waterloo Town . Mr _Gurnell presided . Tho CmiEMAH said , that aa allusion hai been made in tbe minutes to the conduct of the police in Bonner ' s field , and other places , on the . thof Juse , ho did hope that the meeting would , upon that occasion , give expression to their opinions , and that tbe press would {( ive circulation to them , tbat the world might Bee there were parties who eaw the outrages committed by the police , ot wbich it was right that tbe government should possets the knowledge , tbat a full inquiry might be Instituted into all the fact 9 of the case .

      Mr I . J . "Febdin & bdo . aid , a great deal of misrepresentation had gone abroad with _refcroaco to tho matter spoken of . The holding of meetings in the open-air , at B . _nBcrVfielde and Nova _Sootla-gardens , was not a new ' mov . ' on the part ofthe Chartists . Such meetings for _convcreatienal purposes hau , as tho police well knew , been hold for several succeeding Sundays , and tbo parties who assembled ba . _niwajs broken op peaceably and dispersed quietly . Aa to the evening meeting in Bonner ' _.-fields , there were several speeches delivered upon

      that occasion , but that meeting was decidedly of amoral character . There wera no physical force arguments used there on that day , end the poople were _separating when tho police attacked them . At this moment some _Btonjs were thrown at tho windows of the _cisurch by some boys , by which somo of the panes were broken , whereupon a determined and indiscriminate attack was made by t ' _-ie police upon the people , many of whom wero injured . He did hope that the whole truth would jet corns out , and that those constables wbo had exceeded their duty would meet with the punishment .

      Mr Fox , after having deprecated the onslaught made by the police on the people , _assemblod in Bishop BonnerVfielde , on Sunday , the . th of Julio last , and having stated that he , with others , as a deputation , waited on SirG . Grey with a memorial said that Sir George Grey having rend the memorial , said , 'Prom tho evidence I have _recslved , the case Is quite _d'ffVrcnt from that represented by you . ' Sir William Clay observed , that perhaps , the right honourable gentleman had obtained his _Btatemente from the evidence of the police , and urged that an inquiry should be granted . Ona of the deputation said that one man was soverely injured , an 1 several others had been mucVi maltreated , and that thero was not a _Chariist amongst tbem , Mr Cox , a butcher , of Sebright . street , told Sir George Grey that ho ( Sir

      G : orge ) _waa placed in a false position , while he relied upon thc ex parte statements furnished bythe police . The _deputation uadertook io pledge themselves to show that the information furnished to Sir _-raor _/ _e Grey was a tissue of f-laehood . Instead ef its being the fact , na _statidby the Hoaie Secretary , that ' nesrlj tho whole of the win . Sows in the church were broken , ' wo eaid we were prepared to _ohiw that not more than thirty panes were demolished , somo of which panes had been broken for a considerable period . ( A volet— ' Seventeen have been broken for months . ' ) Sir George further said , ' Do you moan to eay you can bear out all tbat la stated in this memorial ? Rsmember , a radius of one mile from the church is a great way . ' We replied that we eould provo It . Ho then said , ' You don ' c _meaa to

      say tbat the police broke into houses V We said , ' Yes , Sir George . ' ' "What , a mile distant V That , it Mae rep lied , is one thing of which we complain . Sir Ge orge was then reminded of the fact that the park was made for the _accommodation of the people , and that a large body of tbe police Came up and shut to the gate , _Coasid « rablo numbers of the peopU thronged tha entrance , and demanded admission into the park , and hence aros _? bad feeling among tho crows ' , who wero opposed tbey know not why , In further elucidation of this , Sir George said , ' Do you mean to say that the police went iato the p « kf Mr Cox replied that the constables stoo < l at the gate , which tbey closed upon the psople , and that tbis conduct caused _angry feeling , which might have proved very fl . _rioufl , -After somo little

      further ' cross firo' with the FI ime Secretary , one of tbe deputation Informed Sir George that ono of the _constables struck a man and broke his arm , _wbei the bon , gentleman said , in evident surprise , ' Broke his arm . ' do you say that ! I will inquire into this . ' ( Hear , hear . ) It was replied , that if be would be good enough to institute a full inquiry he would find about one hundred cases equally deserving of his notice . Another oate was tben told—that was the ease of a man whoso arm was broken while he was standing at his own door . Sir George appeared increasingly surprised—and from his manner , I believe , ( said , Mr Fox ) , we shall get an . Inquiry Into this outrage . ( Hear , hear . ) Upon tho whole , therefore , he ( Mr Fox ) was glad that they ha'l taken suoh Bt » ps as thoy had done : he

      believed that it would end well ; and that the really _blauuable parties would , ere long , be called upon to answer for their conduct . ( Hear , hear . ) Io conclu . BiOll _, _QB tO tbO interview , be Should say , that before thoy loft the Homo Secretory , thsy informed the honourable gentleman tbat they came to bim as men who were willing to support tho constitution of the country , as they were men of peace and order ; but that they regarded tho attack upon the people as most outrageous , and therefore tbey demanded inquiry . _Tr-ey were then bowed out of the room . ( Hear , hear . ) Since then they had been working in order to obtain another bearing of tho case In the House of Commons . They had prepared two _p-tWons to that houso which would be presented by Mr Thompson , and it was expected that tbat gentleman would oall tho attention of the house to thoir

      prayer , Messrs Watts and De la Fokce having addressed tho room , Mr I , T . Ferdinando moved , and Hr Buck seconded , the following resolution _; — . ' That in the opinion of this meeting of eilk weavers , _thesonduct ofthe polico force , on Sunday , tbe . th of June last , was a wanton and cruel outrage upon the rights and liberties of a harmless and defenceless people , and that it is the duty of the government to grant a Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry , In order to ascertain the roal facts of tbo case , tor tbe satisfaction of the publio mind . ' The motion upon belog put , was unanimously carried , and the meoting separated ,

      Preston . —Boilbr Explosion at Prbston . —Five Lives Lost . —On _Saturday week la . t _, at a few minutes before nine _e'clook , as the workpeople were about to re-commence work after breakfast , at tho Sovereign Mill , in London-road , the property of Mr Hollins , the boiler burst , and , overthrowing the brick wall on one Bide of it , scattered the materials , as well aB steam and hot water , for a considerable distance , severely Injuring several _partiea who had breakfasted in the engine-house , five dying from their injuries the same day . The plates in the flue that gave way from the undue preBsura of steam were at tho further end of the boiler , nnd the immense

      LONnON BKFORB TH > NORMAN CONQUEST , ( From Sir E . B . Lytton s' Harold , the last of the Saxon ' _-ings , ' ) The whole suburb before en en _' ng _Southwark _wass rich in orchards and gardens , lying round the _de-itiohed housea of the _wealthitv _-nerchants nnd _citizens . Approaching the river . id . to the left , thee eye . might see the two ciroular _spac s Bet apart , thee one for bear , the other for _bull-baitin-. ¦ To the right upon a green mound of waste , within sight of then populous bridge , the gleeraen were ex -cising theirr

      art . Here one dexterousjuggler threw three ballsa and three knives alternately in the ait catching * them one by one aa they fell . There , an her waa . gravely leading a ercat bear to dance on ' s hind I legs , while bis coadjutor kept time with a sort * flate . or flageolet . The lazy bystanders , in great con--course , stared and laughed ; but the laugh was . _hushedat _$ he tram ? of the Norman stesd . ; and . iei > famous Count by the King ' s side , as , with a _smilin , lip , but _ohservant eye , he rode along , drew all attention from the bear . On now approaching that bridge which , not many ' years before , bad been tbe scene of terrible _conteafrr between the invading Danes and Ethelred ' _s ally ,, Oladof N

      e orway , you might still tei , though nag- _, looted and already in decay , tbe double fortifications l that had wisely guarded thai vista into the city . On i both sides of the bridge , which was of wood , wera i forts , partly of timber , partly of stone , and breast . _, works , and by the forts a little chapel . The bridge , broad enough to admit two vehicles abreast , _waa _^ crowded with passengers , and lively with stalls and booths . _ Here was the favourite spot of the popular ' _balad-Binser . Here too might be seen the swarthy _bwac-n , with wares from Spain and Afric . Here _, the _Oermari merchant from the Steelyard stvepfc along on his way to his suburban home . Here , on some holy office , went quick the muffled monk . Here the city gallant paused to laugh with the country

      girl , her basket full of _May-boughs and cowslips . In short , all bespoke that activity , whether in business or pastime , which was destined to render that city the mart of the world , and which had already knit the trade of tho Anglo-Saxon to the remoter cornerg of commercial Europe . * * » _« Thus talking , they entered London , a rude dark city , built mainly of timbered houses ; streets narrow and winding ; windows rarely glazed , but pro . tected chiefly by linen blinds ; vistas opening , however , at time 3 into broad spaces , round the various convents , where green trees grew up behind low

      pa lisades . Tall roods , and holy images , to which wa 0 ff _« the names of existing thoroughfares ( _Rood-lane and Lady-lane ) , where the _wavs crossed , attracted the curious , and detained the " pious . Spires there w ere not then , but blunt cone headed turrets , pyramidal , denoting the Houses of God , rose often from the low , thatched , aad reeded roofs . But every now and then , a scholar ' s , if not an ordinary , eye could behold the relics of Roman splendour , traces of that elder city which dow lies buried under our _thoroughtares , and of which , year by year , are dug up the stately skeletons .

      Along the Thames still rose , though muoh mutilated , the wall of Constantino . Round the humble and barbarous church of St . Paul ' s ( wherein lay the dust of Sebba _, that king of the East Saxons whoquitted his throne for the sake of Christ , and of Edward ' s feeble and luckless , father , Ethelred ) , might ba seen , still gigantic in decay , the ruins of the vast temple of Diana . Many a church , and many a convent , pieced their mingled brickand timbsrwork witb Roman capital and shaft . Still by the tower , to which was afterwards given the Saracen name of Barbican , were the wrecks of the Roman station , where cohorts watched night and day , incase of firewithin or foe without .

      In a _niohe . near the Alder-gate , stood the headless statue of Fortitude , which monks and pilgrim ** deemed some _unknewa saint in the old time , and halted to honour . And in the midst of _Bishopsgatestreet sate on hi * desecrated throne a mangled Jupiter , his eagle at his feet . Many a half-converted Dane there lingered , and mistook the Thunderer and the bird for Odin and his hawk . By I _^ odgate ( the people ' s gate ) still too were seen the arches of one of those mighty aqueducts whioh the Roman learned from the Etrurian . And close by the Scill-yard , occupied by ' the Emperor ' s cheap men' ( the German merchants ) , Btood , almost entire , the Roman teraple , extant in the time of ( ieeffrey of Monmouth . Withoutthe wall ? , the old Roman vineyards still pnt forth their green leaves and crude clusters in the plains of East , Smithfield , in thefietds of St Giles ' s , and on the site where now stands Uatton Garden . Still

      massere and cheapmen chaffored and bargained , at _baoth and stalJ _, in Mark lane , where the Romans had bartered before them- With every _encroaohment on new soil , within the walh and without , urnvase , weapOD , human bone ? , were _shrovelled out , and lay disregarded amidst heaps of rubbish . Not on such evidences of the past civilisation looked the practical eye ef the Norman Count -, not on things , but on men , looked he ; and as silently he rode on from street to street , out of those men , stalwart and tall , busy , active , toiling , the Man-Ruler saw the Civilisation that was to come .

      So , gravely through the small city , and ever the bridge that spanned the little river of the Flee _.,, rode the train along the Strand ; to the left , smooth _saiidi ; to the right , fair pastures below green nolts , thinly studded with houses ; over numerous cuts and inlets running into the river , rode tbey on . The hour and the season were those in which youth enjoyed its holiday , and gay groups resorted to the then fashionable hau & _ts of the Fountain of Holywell , ' streaming forth amongst glistening pebbles . ' So they gained at length the village of Charing , which Edward had lately bestowed on his Abbey of

      Westminster , and which was now filled with workmen , native and foreign , employed on that edifice and the contiguous palace Here thej loitered awhile atthe Mew 8 ( where the hawks are kept ) , passed by the rude _pakes of stone and rubble , appropriated to the tributary kings of Scotland—a gifo from Edgar to Kenneth—and finally , reaching the inlet of the river , which , winding round the Isle of _Thorney ( now Westminster ) , separate 1 tho rising church , abbey , and palace of the Saint-king from the main land , dismounted—and wer _. ferried across thc naf .
