      © EMONSTBATION : AT NEWCASTLE IN FAVOtFB Or "DNIVEBSAL SUFFRAGE . ( From our men Correspondent , 1 $ Express . ) TbedemcoMtratibnof the men ef Newcastle , which - } rk ' i ton Thursday last , will be lone remem-Tiilytlcfewho witnessed it . ; Of alltheassem-, vr- £ es ever yet convened in England , it was far the most numerous , powerful , orderly , and important . Those who recollect the meetings of 1819 and 1832 , admit , that in point of number and order , they fell far short of tie display of Thursday . At half-past nineihe several trades with their banners and bands mustered in the Square , \ oppoats St . Nicholas Church , and as Che clock struck ten , the dense mass was put in motion by thr respective leaders and ¦ committee men , each taking the station which had

      oeen allotted . ' . It is impossible to make any guess at the numbers present , but the first flag had reached tie hustings , a distance of two miles , before the tear of the vast cavalcade started . The morning was beautiful , and the . banners of freemen , bearing the mottos of liberty , floated majestically before the breeze . The- procession passed up Pil-* grim-street , and was loudly cheered by . thonsands who " assembled in the windows and on the roofs . The whole Toad mere than fifteen yards wide , for two miles was "thiskly covered with people , about -four hundred banners , and forty bands . of well selected musicians enlivened the scene . The banners were transeeud endy beautiful . - Mr . Feargus O'Connor -walked at the head of the Hibernian society with three of his

      countrymen , and was preceded by a splendid green alk fljig , fringed with white , fifteen feet by tjrtl ye , ¦ whi ch was made far the porpose of receiving Daniel ^ O'CoaneH , and bore his name as a rallying point , imt irrtonsequence of his truckling upon the Tithe question , the Canadian question , the Factory question , and his thick , and thin support of the Whigs , his name was tern Som the banntr , and a splendid harp surrounded by the rose , the shamrock , and the thisoe , supplied ¦ & » place . The flags were far the most magnificent we ever -witnessed , and the whole •• cene wa * "the most "perfect that the lover o £ RadieaEsm and ta-uth can imagine . At eleven o ' clock the- rear had reached the hustings , upon which , Thomas Doubleday , Esq ., was Hnanimously

      voted to the chair , amidst thunders of applause . He presented himself and was greeted as every sincere friend to liberty ever will be by the honest working man . He said that even a longer service and greater devotion to democratic principles could not entitle him to the great honour that day conferred upon >» th- ( Cheers and you're worthy . ) . He thanked them and would endeavour to make up all former deficiency , by repeated and renewed exertion . ( Cheers . ) * Hetoo £ the chair ; . helenthis aid ; he joined in their demand because their cause was . righteous . ( Cheers . ) They had assembled to peti--tien for the last nine , and it was only in conformity with the expressi ? d wish of the men of Birmingham , that he again condescended to petition the House of

      Commons , as atpresent constituted . ( Cheers . ) As a chairman perhaps his doty should be confined to the 3 iere opening of the meeting . ( No , no , and go on . ) Then , sanctioned by their psnnission , he would teli lie working classes , that , no matter how sceptics might argue , or philosophers decree , without Universal Suffrage the working classes could not hope for better days . [ Immense cheerins . ] He spoke in presence of High authority , Mr . Feargns O'Connor , and s-e told the people " that till the close of the reign of Henry VI , Universal Suffrage was the law of the land , and then a working man could pur : hase a sheep for part of his week ' s wages , and the legislature was compelled to pass an act of Parliament that he should not -wear a coat of inoro

      value toan twenty-four shillings a yard . ( Cheers . ) These were gooddmes , not what the Tories called the good old times , bat what tee working men ou |; ht to consider as -such . Then-taxauoii "was measured by national requirement . Then , there was no civil list . Talking of the civil list , which amounted to -over a million sterling per aimurn , and -which -was supposed to ba pocket money , or pin money for the Queen , let not the people be deceived ; it was the wages of corruption ( great cheering ) .- for instance out of the funds the master of the st ;; g hounds had bis salary , and surely no one ever saw the queen at a . stag hunt , or thought her fond of the sporc ( Cheers , and laughter . ) All these absurdities had grown out of the mode and manner iu which the

      people were taxed for the benefits of their oppressors . ( Cheers . ) The American war , that war against liberty , cost the present generation the interest of £ 2 . 500 , 000 , and the principal might also he demanded . Then followed the French revolution , "wherein the attempt to suppress liberal opinions aid prevent then- propagation in England , together with the necessity of placing a Bourbon upun the throne , cost this country the balance of eight hundred millions . ( Great cheers . ) To alter such a state of tilings was their aim and their duty , and those who had followed him through his political career would bear witness , that thonghhe aad never counselled the people to violence , vet he had never failed to -work their moral force up to the sticking ; "point , to

      prepare them for the worst . ( Cheers , and bravo I > onbleday , ) He yielded to no man in his love for the constitution and order ; but he was convinced that neither could be preserved , until the people were really admitted into the pale of that constitntio . ( Cheers . ) The folly of joining the Whigs in their " crusade against abuses , which were not of Whig creation "' ' was now seen , and the people began to discover that a hardship by whomsoever imposed was still a hardship . " ( Cheers . ) He knew the people well ; he had known the people lonsand for himself he had no dread of committing Ms life , his liberty , and his property to the disposal of laws made by the people . ( Repeated cheers . ) Each parry was now courting popular support , while

      both joined in withholding popular right . ( Cheers . ) He challenged any man to produce npon the other side so great , so powerful , so orderly , so numerous a meeting as that he had the honour to address , the largest meeting above comparison ever assembled . Thousands upon thousands had marched twenty miles ta testify their approval of the national object , ¦ jrhich had been laid < lown by the men of Birmingham , namely one grand aufl iaoral assault for a month or a week against the Excisemen , aad the day is our own . ( Great cheers . ) Mr . Doubleday then entered into a statistical renew of the wages of working men in former days , together with the price of provisions in those days ; and satisfactorily

      proved , that the whole error of the system arose ont of the fact of the people having no s ' hare in the appointment of their representatives . ( Great cheers . ) AstUeir most untiring champion , and most eloquent advocate , Mr . Feargns O'Connor was there to address them , he would conclude by assuriag the lae ^ ring , that so long as a grievance . remained , so long would he be ready to obey all reasonable comrnauJs of his Radical brethren . ( Immense cheering . ) He knew that he need not inculcate the neiesiiiy of keeping order : upon disorder our enemies HveJ ; by order we should triumph . He thanked the meeting for the courteons reception he had Teceived , and sat down amid the most tumultuous and general approbation .

      Mr . Ay s , a working man , then came forward to move the first resolution . * 1 . That repeated and fatal experience has proved the futility and folly of expecting anv redress of irrievances from the House of Commons , as at present constituted ; and after a lapse of several years , finding the Reform Bill produce nothing but the most tyrannical and unjnst laws , and believing the elective franchise to be . the inherent and Inalienable right of every man of the age of 21 , of sane mind , and unstained by crime , this meeting declares it to be their determination unremittingly to use every means in their power to obtain the restoration of this , their birthright , and , by . its exercise , elect such a House of " Commons as will

      legislate for the happiness of the millions . He said , that the payment which the people were receiving for the millions they paid , was the hearty reception which foreigners were receiving , for bending the knee of subserviency to an Infant Queen . ( Cheera . ) The ^ roikJngpeople ' sougatfornomorethan those rights which the constitution guaranteed , and as a working man , he would not stop short of their very fullest attainment . ( Great cheers . ) True they had not the same inducements to assemble that Lords Cleburn and EgEnton and their aristocrats had to apportion the weights which race horses conld carry —( cheers)—to regulate the order and fashion of debauchery , in nnsil garments , to laugh to scorn the nan-s that wrought them . ( Great cheers . ) No ;

      theirs was a more noble purpose , a more holy undertaung ; they had assembled not to crown a puppet , -fint to crown a principle . ( Great cheering . ) They had assembled to say ,- ' -For the service we render , wv must have accorded to us a suitable return : and th it must be protection for our birthright , which is our labour . ( Immense cheering . ) The Birmingham , th-i national , demand would be sent among them , and it would receive their signatures , and the more willingly as tt vat to be the last document in the - * hape * f a petition . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Ayr moved the resolution in a most able and powerful speaeh of which we can give bnt a mere outline , and c ' on-. claded amM ~ heaity cheen .

      Mr . Sxtth rose to second the resolution . He said that he had not many observations to offer however , he could not lose so favourable an oppori tunity of testifying his approbation of the proceedings of the day . He was -wen convinced' that the recommendations of-preceding speakers would be attended to , arid would be productive . of great good . Let those who were Formally in the habit of getting np public demonstratiDns for Whi g or Tory purposes try and produce such a meeting as the present— the most numerous- ever convened in the County of Northumberland . ( Cheers . ) They could not etfect it , and why ? because the oppression which : created it had not reached the-privileged *> rder . ( Cheers . ) The good things of life were divided amongst the enfranchised lew , while the disirauc'ased many had but the poor resource of ag ^ g- then-lamentation to the air . ( Chftera . ) Bat tbi * day would read toe aristocracy & leison . This day would teach them ,. that however they may

      crown a monarch , they' can attach no power to the monarchy withorit toe sanction of the working classes .-Heconcluded by seconding Gib resolution and _ was hearty cheered . " : - ' ™ Mr ; O'Cossor then presented himselfj and was cheered for several minutes . He said , that his heart responded , to the princi p les of the resolution , andhis nght arm swore allegiance to his judgment ( cheers ) . . Much reluctance as he had felt at seeing Mr . Dubbleday in the chair instead of a working man , it had now vanished before the sound principles he had delivered . This day , perhaps at this hour , a "woman of eighteen years of age is abont to be crowned , without that ceremony she was invested with full executive authority , by which—in her

      wisdom—she is empowered to controul the laws and establish new costoms , and while this extraordinary power of revision , correction , and legal supremacy is given to an infant , . surely ye cannot be considered destructives for reaniringasingle vote , for those who hare arrived at the age of manhood , in the nomination of their representatives . ( Great cheering . ) The question with us now is , how the new reign shall commence . ( Hear , hear . ) Whether , in the new lease the old lessors , who are the government , shall have a life interest in the produce of the nation , while the lessees , who are the middle class , and constituent body , hold quietly their tenure , the condition being the-right of the latter to use the people , ror their own sole use , behoof and benefit )

      ( Cheers . ) Mr . O Connor had not come there to talk of specific grievances , or to remove any of which they complained , because the removal of a small one was invariably met by the infliction of a greater , — ( great cheering , )—therefore , he should confine himself to the general system of fashionable policy , by which , withjthebestintentions , themonopolyofthere « presentedordermustincrease . The day ' s gone by when man ' s principle could be guessed at by his political creed ; for money being the basisof mostmen ' s politics , and the present system wholly depending upon the subjection and submisstionj of the working classes , a rich . Radical , -vrho had a share in the national plunder , was likely to be as dangerous a man as the most rabid Tory , or the most inveterate Whig

      ( Immense cheering . ) For those reasons , he Mr . Mr . O'Connor had divided political society into two classes , namely , the rich oppressor , - and the poor oppressed . ( Cheers . ) Before the Reform Bill had abridged the power of the people , and augmented the political , corporate , and social authority of the newly enfranchised community , we numbered a few wealthy men of our order , but Whig principles being rotten , national weight , and local distinction was given to their adherenis , upon the condition of a complete prostitution of the trust which they hold for the people . ( Great cheering . ) Oar too great intemperance , the strength of the Tory party , and the determinel opposition of the Lords , " are chaunted as apologies for the do-nothing ministry , —( Cheers . ) while of their

      an iisp ^ ctioa own measures , originating with themselves , and certainly worthy " of Tory support , -will teach us that the Whigs in power have dared to orignate , and not failed to carrv measures , which—if out of power—they would have acquired popularity by opposing . ( Cheers . ) Away then with the fanciful preference for either Whig o " r Tory . He , Mr . O'Connor , was in alliance with two men , the one calling himself a Tory , and the other declaring that he belonged to no political creed , and there did not exist two better Rudicals , two more determined haters of oppression , or two morefaithful friends to the cause of liberty and the working classes ; he need scarcely name , Richard Oastler . and the Rev . Joseph Stephens . ( Great

      cheering . ) ilr . O'Connor was sustained iu his pilgrimage , b _ the support and consolation which he derived how . the counsel and assurances of those unflinching and untiring friends to the cause of labour and the poor , ( cheers ) while his best strucg uerves were required to fortify him against the schemes , the tricks and the machinations of those calling themselves Radicals . ( Cheers . ) The exactitude with which politicians of tlip present day measure their principle by the labour market no ' , vcas in nothing more fully proved , than iu the sudden rise-which Mr . O'Connell experienced iu the good graces of his former bitterest enemies , by his ungenerous , uncalled for , unprovoked aiid traitorous attacks upon the tradesof Dublin . England , ani

      Scotland . Tnis wily . mouser saw how the cat jumped * This banker " knew that the blood , and th ? sweat of the unrepresented Irish , should be ^ discounted athLs national counter , and he waged war against the force who had fought his every battle , and who had lost by his every triumph . ( Cheers . ) Thus said Mr . O'Connor , you have the whole body of the exclusive party opposed to you , no matter hbw distinguished by ' political names , and it is to beat all , and for ever crash their power , that we are nowassembled . ( Immense cheering . ) Aye , continued Mr . O'Connor , and we'll do it . The moral power of the people has been tried patiently , used , and exercised with judgment . It was the . deliberative quality which , tanght man how to suffer , and w / te / l

      forbearance became a crime . ( Chters . ) The standard of the rich man's justice , "was the poor man ' s endurance , —( cheers , )—and so long as the latter tamel y suffered , so long would the former progressively increase that suffering . ( Cheers . ) Upon all sides the people w « e united to a display of their moral influence , and when exhibited it was used by their rulers as a justification for suppressing the rising turbulent spirit of a discontented rabble . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) When Bristol was in flames , Xecastle in a blaze , and Nottingham threatened , or when the middle classes followed in the mournful procession of departing monarchy- —when upon their banners were exhibited the drooping head of a king , and the bloody axe of the executioner— -when the State was threatened to its very centre by a brawling faction panting for uower to

      abuse it —( immense cheering)—when the Infidel Fitzwilliam , and the Malthusian Brougham , led on the assault against the national exchequer , and threatened a national bankruptcy , unless their party were th *» bankers —( cheers)—that was moral force , peaceably , discreetly , and constitutionally used . ( Uproarious applause . ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had newr counselled such an exhibition of moral force hehad ever directed the people in the legitimate use of it , and now that a new era had arrived—now that a new reign had commenced , which should be an omen of new measures , suiting to new times , conforming to present circumstances , and based upon national demand—he ( Mr . O'Connor ) had no objection once more to parade their moral power , and to to

      appeal theirjudgment and discretion for the promotion of those great objects , vrhichfor years had been sought by the working classes , and in the event of moral power , judgment , discretion , and reason , not producing the anticipated result , he had no hesitation in saying that rather than submit to the reign of tyranny and lewd dominion of a faction , he would lead the people to death or glory . ( Tremen - dous and long continued applause . ) It was superfluous to point out the progressive improvement of the rich in lnxnrv , independence , and sloth , which may be ludicrously contrasted-with the inverse ratio which marked the progressive declension of popular comforts . ( Cheers . ) Having forin&ny years looked in vain for a partial reform in oor several institutions . The considerations which are now naturally sugested to us , are tkese . Whether or no , while

      improvements in arts and science , in mechanism , and literature are xapidly hurrying on to the gaol of perfection , the science of legislation is alone to stand still ? ( Cheers . ) Whether or no , the vast and gigantic strides which society has made in latter years would sanction the Application of new measures to new circumstances ? Whether or no , our form of government principally the manufacture of barbarous ages , is applicable to present refinement ? Whether the disparity which distinguishes the classes of the luman family are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul , and whether all the necessary forms ef a good state of society are improved or damaged by that disparity ? Whether or no , a better order of things conld be established by the

      reciorocal dependency of the several orders upon each other ? Whetherdr no , the present system Ol Government is the very best which the iiigenuityjof man can apply to existing circumstances ? And , if not , to devise the necessary alterations . Whether or not the amount of benefit conferred on the people is commensurate with the amount of compensation paid by the people . ( Long continued cheering . ) Such are the considerations to which we must now direct our attention ; and , if suffering positivelr or negatively , either b y longer endurance of wrong oi abstinence from articles , become , by use ; in part necessary , we will make one general muster and display of our moral power , which failing , we will fight the advocates of corruption and exclusion , with the aroi

      guments tyrants ; fcut , come what will , and should we die in the last ditch , we will , at all events , leave to posterity a constitution worth liviug under , and worth dying for . ( Repeated and long continued cheering . ) ^ Mr . O Connor proceeded to point out the various anaTchiea which had crept into the constitution . and showed that one and all proceeded from a want of Universal Suffrage . He said that never did he feel prouder than in accompanying hi ^ Irish brethren under the national colour and to the time of going over to the field that day . ( Cheers . ) He then explained why the English Radicals had not joined O'Connell in his weather cock career , and denounced that gentleman ' s attempt to establish a Catholic ; aristocracy , who would be as geat tyrants at the Protestants . when they get

      power . ( Cheers from- the insh > and aye , and worse . ) Mr . O'Connor entered fully into the causes of distress , ' and shewed the means of redrew ; n * inveighed against slashiug Harry Brougham , and his brother Infidel—Lord Fitzwijliam , in bitter terms ; and excitedmuch mirth and laughter , when introducing Lord and Lady Brougham to a Workhouse , under the system wtich Universal Suffrage would produce , when they would surely have a ward for idle Lords and ladies . Mr . O'Connor spoke atconnderable length , and sat down amid loud ana raptoroos applause . " Mx-Hefbob * cameforward to move the second resolution . He _ sad that notwithstanding the many att # mpti to frturirate their endeavour * , the men of Northumberland were Btffl alive to their interest

      ( Cheers . ) The steward -of LoKlJftevenawarth had offered his colliers three quarts of porter a . man , if they abstained from marching to-day with banners belonging to , iheir order , but the . brave colliers laughed the brute to scorn , and he now saw before him the banner floating , in th& breeze . ( Immense cheering . ) Other machiijations had been at work , but all to no purpose . ^ "The las t ' link of confidence was snapped ^ andthe ' . people viewed with suspicion , those who would nbt ' -work for them , nor allow themselves to work out their politicaTaalvafion . [ Cheers . ' ] No man better understood the dispositions of ' . ' the colliers than he ; and he told the ^ government to be aware , they may be led by : fair means , 'but they could not longer be driven , He concluded by moving the resolution— ; .

      2 . ^ Tfcat this meeting further'believes '^ that the only security against the corruption of the few , and the degradation of the many , ia to give to the people equal riahts , social aad pollrical ^ -by the exercise of which they will . improve their condition , acquire knowledge , and , by experience , learn wisdom . That to obtain these rights , it is necessary that the elective franchise should be exercised without loss or injury , which can only be effected by secret voting ; that as all * classes and interests should be equally represented , no other qualification ought to be required from Members of Parliament , than the choice of the constituency ; and to purify th # venal stream of corruption as speedily as possible , Parliaments ought to be electedannually . He was loudly cheered .

      ^ Mr . M'Kenzie rose to s » coud the resolution ' . He said that he waa sorry to be obliged to speak feelingly upon the question of secret voting , but so long as the law ot primogeniture made the lawmakers the providers for their idle sons and relatives , so long would the landlord say vote for me , that I may . support my family , or quit the premises . ( Cheers . ) He , as an elector , had proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . Gladstone , and received hiidischarge upon the following morning . ( Shame . ) Itwaj ^ not the first foolish thing he had done ; hehad subscribed to Daniel O'Connell for nine years , every year , till within the last , when he knew he was a traitor . ( Cheers , and dou ' t bother us with the fellow , —to the question . ) The question then is ^ that till each man has the vote , the ballot would be an injubtice ; but when all are enfranchised , the ballot will be necessary . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Pluker came forward to move the third

      resolution—3 . That as Members of Parliament ought to be the delegates of the people to secure the honest performance of their duties , it is the . opinion of this meeting that a return should be made to the old custom of paying their Representatives in Parliament . He said that the thing he wished to see was full grown bearded law makers , instead of babies in smock frocks—men who were worthy of their . hire—( cheers)—and when we paid our o-. vn inouey , our own business would be done- ; but so long as others paid our money for professedly doing our business , —( bear , hear , hear)—it would be directed 'to personal service , and individual aj > £ rr ; iuui'A'rut'nt .

      [ Cheers . ] Cicero was a wise man , and he did not think that the ruling power was without conu'oiil ; he said that tlu * Romans ruled the world , and the women rnled the Romans ; and , 'therefore , they were the goveruiTs . [ dear , nnd laughter . ' ] Now , he should like to bring up a brood whose first lisping should be Universal Suilragc , Annual PurliamentVaad Vote by Ballot . [ Great cheering . ] . Uur own ministers have endeavoured to dis ^ uiitle us from attending here to-day , they tell us as dissenters , that ido ^ atory . 'is one ot the " greatest sins , and yet are our rulers just nosv obsequiously bending the kni-e of adoration to a puppet . He inoved the resolution amid much applause , and

      Air . Alder rose to secoud it . He said , if you get your work gratuitously done , it will be badly done . lti < not plunderers that we require , who in default of good wages _ for honest service , will be like the Seolch servuntiudiffereiit about PHY , as he WOUld be alwavs helping himself . [ Loud cheers , and laughter . ] Wv must return to the practico of sending working-men to represent working men , and ot paving them according to their perform-aiice . ^—( Cheers . ) J \ ir . Charlto . n then presented himself to move the Birmingham petition , which has appeared in our columns , - and was loudly cheered . " We regret , however , that this talented " gentleman moved the adoption of the petition without any prefatory remarks , in consequence of the length to which the proceedings had gone .

      4 . That the Birmingham petition be adopted by this meeting , and that a copy of it be sent to each town and yillage in ., the . district for ' signature ; und that when signed , it be presented to the House of Commons by Thomas Attwood , Esq ., M . P . for Birmingham , and that Messrs . Waklt'y and Fidilen be requested to snpport the sjune . Mr . Lowry , from South Shields , came forward to second the adoption of th « petition , aud was most cheerfully greeted . He said that he rejoiced to see the grand display of ' moral "force , the forerunner of physical force , if it should be required . Many of his friends at Shields were baited with the bone of sensuality , if they would absent themselves from the meeting . The Cooksons had provided a dinner for the poor out of their own money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Yes , out of the sick fund . ( Renewed laughter . ) What a munificent host ! and yet could lie not prevail upon the good men of Shields to

      prefer a meal for the body to a feast for the mind . Tneyhad heard much ot' physical force ; they had seen audaciously paraded before them , the tinseled soldier , paid with their money . ( Cheers . ) Yes , the Commander of the Military had dared to disturb the quiet of this meeting by a parade of his military force . ( Cheers . ) this was the omen of the newreign , ( cheers , ) and let the people take a lesson from it and henceforth back their moral force with physical power ; let every man in future come to public meetings with a musket in his hands , ( repeated cheers , ) lest he might require it . ( Cheers . ) There were an abundance of muskets in the neighbourhood , and this day ' s presumption would bring them into use . ( Cheers ) Who ever saw such au exhibition ? Foot and dragoons actually marched into a public meeting of Englishmen . ( Shame . ) 'Ibis is the way the Crown is to be supported ; but let us teach the Monarch that she but holds it in

      trust , and that when her protection goes , our allegiance follows . ( Great cheering . ) Money-mongers have given her a goldenCrown at the expense of . the people ; but the people can , and will if necessary take back the Crown . ( Cheers . ) The same force which sent Charles to the block —( hear)—and James f rom the throne is still abroad , and the news through England to our brave brethren of Lancashire and Yorkshire , that soldiers were t'is day marched upon the people to produce bloodshed and murder , will do much to marshal that force for their own protection . Let them remember Peterlbo aad Canterbury . ( Cheers and "We " will . " ) - No man should vouch with his tongue what he fear * to support with his hand . ( Cheers , nnd " We'll : do it . " ) He would

      allow the Lord and the Squire , and the shopkeeper his due , but no more , and in return the people must have their ' s . ( Cheers . ) The brightest days of English histsry were those which recounted the struggles of the freeman for liberty . For himself , he would rather hire a lean freeman thaii . a fat slave . ( Tremendous applause . ) . ' M .. O'Connor then proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . _ Doubleday , and took the opportunity : of inveighing , in the most strong and bitter terms we ever heard , against the conduct of tiie Commander of the District , who was with his forces , within ten yards of the hustings . — Mr . O'Connor observed that as good courage was under a blue coat or a black coat as under ared coat , and the only reason ; , trader his present excitement , that he held the people in subjection , ¦ was becanse he had not arms to ineet the fbeat the

      moment . The cavalry and infantry marched in the front and rear of the meeting , cutting the body into three sections—the hissing and attempts to frighten the horses was going to a great length , -when'Mr .. O Connor mounted upon a cross bar of the hustings and hurled defiance at the cowardly assailants . He promised them and the people that their ungentlemanhke and unconstitutional conduct , should be brought before the House of Commons , and notwithstanding his best endeavours , many rushed from the platform to bring the Commanding Officer to task , when the gallant genttnmanrode off . It was touch and go , and if a shot had been fired Newcastle would have blazed . When the military were gone Mr . O Connor past a high eulogium upon Mr . Doubleday ; , and a vote of thanks was given to him with acclamation ; . after which 9 times 9 cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor , and three cheers for General Arthur O'Connor .

      Mr . Doubleday and Mr . O'Connor returned thanks , and notwithstanding tue attempts of the military the meeting separated peaceably .

      Sir EDWARD KKATCHBULL , moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into ail the circumstances connected with the discharge of John Nichols ; Thorn , alias Courtenay , from the Kent Lunatic Asylum . This gave rise to a long deceptious kind of a tubrto-the-whale debate , mingled with no small share ot petty personalities between the " honourable gentlemen ' on both sides of the House . We shall not occupy space with any report of the debate , as it is well discussed in the letter of our excellent friend Bronterre . On a division , there appeared , For the committee ... 131

      "¦ ' ; Agamstit ... ... no Majority ... 21 The most prominent portion of the debate was the reciprocal bandying of the L E , in the most polite manner : possible , between Mr . E . L . Bulwer and Mr . Praed , —from which , murder was appreleudtid between the two gentlemen . Mr . Praed left the : house—and a most pathetic and universal call was made upon Mr . Bulwer to keep the peace . lh . itgt'iitlornan was in an awkward predicament * he threw himself ; however , gracefully on the superior rxperiunce of Sir Henry Hardiage— ' Would you ii ^ Ut under such circumstances ?"—The man of war mildly said " no" . And soMr . Bulwer said no too , so that , after all , this mighty affair did not even achieve the importance of ending in smo"ke . After this came a " Hlk" about making the Spaniards pay the arruars of the " Legion . "

      The International Copyright Bill was read a third tuno and passed . Tlie orders of the day were then disposed of . —The House adjourned at half-past one o ' clock .

      , MuRDEiii— -It is with much regret that we have to record the death of an individual who was wantonly killed in Miller-street , on Saturday evening last , without having given the least provocation to the person whom the jury , at the inquest , have branded with the title of his murderer . The deceased , whose name was Michael Warren , was , as far as could be judged froni the appearance of his body after death , between 40 and 50 years of age . He was a hawker of stockings and small wares , and a

      pensioner , and lived at a lodging house kept by a man named John Farren , in Simpson-street . The full particulars of the case are given in the evidence before the inquest ^ which was held at the Rising Sun , Shudehiil , on Monday evening last . A person named John Hardman , a reputed thief , and commonly known by the nickname of " Tim Bobbin , " was in custody and present at the inquest , charged with having given the deceased the blow which caused his death . The evidence was as follows : —

      Jatnes M'Mahon , of 162 , Long Millgate , shoemakeri deposed . —About 20 minutes past 12 j on Saturday night last , I was crossing to go down Millerstreet , from Shudehiil , and saw the deceased ; aud John Hardman , and three boys who were together , jostled against the deceased , who was on the opposite side to where I was crossing . I can ' t g ay whether the prisoner jostled against the deceased . I can ' t say whether it was wilful or not . The deceased and another man were standing in the footpath ; the deceased made some observations , but I did not hear what ; and theo the , prisoner struck him a severe blow on the head , and knocked him down . The prisoner then passed on down

      Millerstreet , and the three lads immediately after him ; and , it being my way home , I went that way too . When the deceased recovered from his blow , he ran down the street after the prisoner ; and one of the lads behind the prisoner said , "He ' s coming !" The prisoner turned round , and said , " ' Mind what a hit I'll give him . " The deceased stopped runniug ; andjbefore he came to the prisoner , passed to his right , arid looked him in front as if to know him again . After looking at him , he went into the centreof the street as if to avoid him ; and was then returning towards his friend , when a man came behind the prisoner , and said ., Pitqh into him , there ' s no one with him . " The prisoner then went up to

      him , and struck him a severe blow with the right hand on the left ear . The deceased reeled ; and the prisoner , before he fell , hit him another severe blow with his left hand on the right ear . The deceased then fell very heavily on his head upon the flags , hi * senses seeming to be knocked out of him ; the prisoner said , " That ' s a sickener , " and ran away up . Blaekley-street .. Two men came to the assistance of deceased , and carried him to the door of Mr . Wrigiey , who lives near ; the friend who was with him said he would help to carry him to his lodging . A watchmau came up , and I described the prisoner to him ; I did not know his name ; I am sure the prisoner is the man : the deceased never

      struck the prisoner . Other witnesses : gave similar testimony . Mr . Oilier , of Manchester , surgeon , This afternoon , I examined the body of the deceased , in company with Sickle and Armitage , the omcers ; the stomach was in an unhealthy condition , as if from habits of drinking , arid contained a small quantity of brown fluid ; there was a slight bruised wound in the middle of the right ear ; there was extravasasion of blood between the scalp aud the scuAY , on the left and back part of the head ; there had been a flow of blood from that ear , there was great extravasation of blood along the course of the membranes of the brain , externally and internally , which extended to the commencement of the spinal marrow . I

      have no ddubjt : that these appearances- were the cause of death , and they must have been produced , in my opinion , by external violence ; either by a blow or a fall , or both . The Coroner then summed up the evidence ; arid , in the course of a short charge to the jary , said 'fTojnstify a verdict of ma-nslaughter onl y ^ there must have been some provocation . In this case there did not appear to have been any pro ? vocation whatever ; but the blows were given when the deceased was returning up the street * The judge , when he saw the depositions , might , if they found a verdict for manslaughter , direct an

      indictment to be laid for murder ; or the grand jury might / ignore ; the bill . ' for murder , and find one for manslaughter . In his opinion , however , it was a clear case of murder ; but if they considered that there wan the least mitigating circumstances , he should recommend them to find a verdict of maDslaughter . " Theij&ry then : consulted for half an hour , and at the end of that time returned a verdict of wilnil murder against John Hardinan *—The oproner then committed the prisoner to take his trial at the ensuing Liverpool assizes , arid he was conveyed in a hackney coach to the New Bailey for the night . He did not appear to be much affected .

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ B ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WBB ^^ BB ^ Bi '¦^ f-- - : ^; M- ^ Bestbuctive Fibe at ^ ottpN .- ^ -0 n Monday afternoon :--laBt , about twenty n ^ nutes ti ^ e five ^ o ' clock , an alarm of lire , was given in the" town « f Bolton .: ,: ¦ and , beuiginafket day ^ in a very few minutes a considerable concourse of persons was attracted to : the heighbonrhopd of the large fectoryin VVeston-street , belpnging / 'to ^^ Messrs . Ormrpd and Hardcastle , and generally called the Royal George Factpry . It appearsi that , about halfrpast four , the work-people employed in the attic , or what is there called the " cockloft , : of the mill , were drivea from their work by fire , which originated in their room ; either from the friction of the machinery , or the spontaneous ignition of cotton , but whicsh cannot __

      at present be ascertained ; this being the ^ catc heon room , as well as the batting room , it contained a groat quantity of cotton ? . some of it beiiig in a loose ' state , and consisting of flyings * from the nature of the preparations for spinning } it therefore ignited with a rapidity scarcely imaginable , aid the werkpeople had scarcely time to procure the articles of clothing cast off during working hcrara . On the arrival of the engines arid the crowd , in a few jninutes afterwards , nothing was perceptible , with the ekceptiori of smoke issuing through the apertures in the roof ; but before the engines could be brought into operation , it burst out into a volume of name . It appeared quite evident that , the lire having originated in the day time , there being plenty of water

      and assistance , and uttle or no wind , and having to bum downwards in order to consume the inill , the progress of the flames might have been arrested before they could have commu nicated withthe lower rooms , had there been an efficient set of . engines in the town . But this was not the case , aaa it was some time before the engines could be broiugtit to play at all ; and even then , it was'in a manner calculated to do little or no good . Several gentlemen made themselves particularly active , and rode off for other engines . In a short time ? those of Messrs . Ashwprth , Turton ; ¦' . Mr . Baines ; Moses Gate ; Mr . Crompton , Farnworth ; Mr . Hardcastle , Bradshaw ; . and Mr . Amsworth , Halliwell ^ arri ^ fed at the spot : but by this time the fire had got such

      a nold , that , in the opinion ofhearly all , the mill wouW be burned down , which was too truly realised ; Floor after floor dropped down , carrying with it the ponderous machinery , and " emitting such 1 volnmes of flame as , if the nig ) it had been dark , must have appeared awfully grand . About a hundred persons had got upon a wooden shed over a saw ^ pit in the gas-yard , near the mill ; and thair numbers being shortly increased , by the view which it afforded , and the timber being rather old , it gave wayi and , with a loud shriek , they were precipitated to the bottom , a distance of several yards , they were immediately extricated ; and the gas-yard , in a few moments , appeared more like an hospital , several lyinginjured and unable to stir . One young man was carried to the

      Dispensary on a board , with a broken thigh another was carried off with a broken leg : ' and a third with a broken arm . The others appeared able to walk , but were much shaken . This occurrence diverted the attention oi" the bystanders from the confiiigratiou for : a few minute . < , during which the fUimes appeared to have made great progress ; and anotlier incident now attracted general attention . A man had ascended a ladder , and gone into the room below tiie one iu which th * fire was raging , where he was in danger of being overwhelmed every moment ; and neither shouts nor entreaties could persuade him to eome down , until the ceiling actually gave way , aud a mass of burning materials iell into . tliH room where he stood . Most fortunatel

      y he escaped with Ids life ; but such was his situation , that his shirt was burned upon his bac £ which appeared to be much scorched . Not long after this , a man who was conveying a pipe up the ladder was swept to the ground , a distance of four stories , by some lead , which , on being melted , fell ' Yrom the spoilt . He was taken up , and conveyed home , and now lies in a dangerous state . On the east end of the factory was a small building , two stores high , used as a reeling-room , which the fire had not reached . A young woman , who had been employed 111 it , anxious to preserve her reel a ^ d work , ascended a ladder into the upper story of the place with two men , all of-whom were busily engaged in throwing the twist and machinery out . Enuring this tune the fire

      hadreached the bottomstory butone . and the roof and floorings above had fallen in . The firemen bad given up all hopes of saving the mill , and directed their attention to the engine-house and cottages adjacent . This was a most fortunate circumstance lor them , as they had removed out of the way of the south wall , which separated in the middle , and one-half of it fell upon and towards the reeling-room , which contained the woman and two men . The shrieks of the Hssembled hundreds may be better imagined than described , on perceiving the portion of falling wall carry witli it the roof of the reeling room . One of the men jumped ou the window stone , and saved himself ; and the other two were earned with the falling mass . The man was extricated at the upper story ; but the woman

      had been carried through to the first floor , from whence she was brought put , we are glad to say , although much hurt , not fatally so . The man's face was much disfigured , but he had no bones broken . At about nine o ' clock , all appeared a perfect ruin , the front wall having fallen inwards , thereby doing no damage ; and nothing remained save the engine house and the wall at the other end . By the active use of the country engines , the fire was prevented from communicating with any other building . The mill which has thus been destroyed was the largest in Bolton , and contained , we believe , about 50 , 000 spindles . The total los * is estimated at nearly £ 40 , 000 , of which about £ 26 , 000 is covered by insurance ; and the effect of the fire will be to throw fouror five hundred persons out of employment . —Manchester Guardian .
