      SHEFFIELD . CHARTIST RIOTS AND MEETINGS . ( From the Sheffield Iris . ) We stated last week that the Chartists had adopted a new plan of assembling , silence being the order of the occasion , -the- - first-of ' which took place on the Monday . On Wednesday liight another silent meeting w&s also held in tho square , and again the parties paraded the town . On this occasioii a pistol was fired in the square , and several windows of Mr . Carr ' s house were broken with stones . On Thursday afternoon the magistrates issued placards cautioning all persons , against attending such meetings , as eifectual means would be taken to disperso thein . The l < cv . G . Chandler , ant ! C . Brownell , Esq . : " ' " ' " : snnncr . Ti

      remamedin town during the day , to be in readiness in case their presence might be required : the recruiting parties , under their commanding officer , were under arm 3 at the Town Hall , whore a detachment of them had been quartered . since Wednesday , and the police surveyor had his whole force of -watchmen and policemen mustered . The assistance of Col . Marten and his dragoons having been required by the magistrates , they appeared in front of tho Town-hall soon after eight o ' clock , where they wheeled round and thence proceeded to the square , attended by the police . About" " 2 , 01 ) 0-persons were assembled in the square , in darkness , for the gas had been put out . The cavalry immediately proceeded to clear the ground , whilc . thc police fplioiTed the

      crowds along the avenues . Many of the Chartists took to the churchyard , from whence they let ily tremendous vollies of . stones . They Avero , however , driven out by Mr . Raynor and the police . From many other points showers of stone * were-thrown , and we understand that some of the peupie were armed with pikes . One man was captured with a shillelah , loaded at one end with lead , and the other end containing tlie tank of a pike , which had ovivlenily been very recently broken off . Another ulan was dragged with a formidable shillelah , and a dagger fourteen inches long was also found , which appeared to have bt-en throwTTaway . The town continued to be in a state of disorder for . two or three hours , and the clcariiJit of the streets required the most

      active and unremitting exertions oi" tho military and police . During the evening , the police , supported by the military j went . to .-thu room , in Figtree-lane , expecting to find some vf the party there , but the room was vinnty . About nine o ' clock , Mr . Palireyinan , while in front of hi * house , overheard . some of the crowd propotuus to * 'servo him out , " when he immediately seized the foremost of the party who were about breaking his wiudo . ws , and the man directly ( truck him a violent blow upon the face . Mr . Palfreyman , in return , struck the man a Violent blow with a- -stick which lie had in his hand , and knocked him down . Sonie of the man ' s companion . - * then fell upon Mr . Palfreyinau , and severely bruised and cut liiin about the " fa-.-e

      and head , until assistance arrived , on which they decamped . Soon after the military and pulk-e had retired—the former to tlie Tontine , aud tho latter to the Town Hall—intelligence arrived that a large body of persons had collected together in what is railed the Doctor ' s Field , near the Leud Mills . Tlu-Magistrates and the military and ]> vli « e immediately-proceeded to clear tho place , andwii tla-ir arrival at the bottom of Arundel-street , they weiu assailed by a volley of stones , which wore , thrown under cover of the darkness by a number of scoundrels , who had concealed themselves in th « various passages and corners in the neighbourhood . In consequence of the darkness , it was possible to reach the Doctor ' s Field , nnd the soldiers and police commenced clearing the streets in the neighbourhood , in which , in the course of a short titue , they succeeded , and about eleven" o ' clock-the street * were comparatively quiet . . During the evening , . Vr

      lirownell and Col . Marten were both struck with stones , but , we are glad to . « ay , without recriviug any material injury . Is ' or were any i > f tho S'lklier . or the police in any way injured , " in the oour . ' o of tho above operations , about Vhirty-M ' x persons were taken into custody , aud conveyeil i > the Town Hall . Several of them were armed » v . th bludgeons , and sticks containing pikws , and ohors of them were engaged in throwing ntoiu-s . The remainder cilher refused to go home vrh # ll dr-iired , or u > i > d insuhi » i ; and irritatinsr language . O : t Friday , about ten or a dozou of the parties the charge against whom were of a less iniiwrtaiit character than the others , were brought up Lefure Air . Browncll , in the watch-house , and held to bail 10 appear on Tuesday ; the remainder , in conseqm'uou of the holding of the Brewster Sc . > wious , \ Tere reiuu-. tded to last .

      At this stage « f tho evidence the prisoner applied to have the further hearing of his case postponod to Tuesday , and he had yritne » se « who would prove that he had never beea guilty of the acts ascribed to hiii . In a repl y to a question from the Magistrates , Bland said he had not been apprehended moro than half an hour . The prisoner said he eould produce bail For hu appearinoe on Tuesday . The Magistrates said , that owing to the / disturbed tate of tne town , and to-m » rrow being Sunday , they felt bound to diBpwe of the caao . at the same time firing him an opportunity of defending himself , by procuring professional witnoeaoa

      oraamstance . Mr . P&lfreyman said , as there were other cases which would oscupy the Magistrate * a considerable time ,, the-prisoner could be brought up at a late period of the day .

Ca-rr were broken , and a pistol was fired . On the following svening , the Magistrates resolved to put the meetings down . The evidence would explain fully what took place .

      Th « prisoners in this case were all apprehended in the neighbourhood of Duke-street , on Thursday night . Mr . Raynor eaid , I know that knightly meetings have been held in a room in Figtree lane , for two or more months past , by persons called ChartUts .- 1 have heard the kind of language used there , arid can particularly speak to that used on Friday last . I was in a yard adjoining tho room ; I heard the speaker say , if any magistrate issued a warrant agamsthim , or a brother of his . meaning a Chartist , and any person could bo found to execute such a warrant , he would assassinate that person by night or b

      yday , andnotresttillhehadaccomi ) lishedlnsobject . He asked , was there a inau amongst them that could not make a blade that would draw blood ? They were determined to have their rights .

      I am , sorry to say that the military should havobeott called ' out to assist the policein preserviiig the peace . It is the detorminatiou of the magistratos to commit each pf you to tlie County Gaol of York , to take your trials for committing these riots ; and there all of you will have to remain until the Assizes . Your cises will then be determined by a Jury of your countrymen -and I dp hope and trust that tho Warnings which are now given to ypu , will prevent others from meeting tor the disturbance of thp town , but if they do continue to meet , we must proceed to stronger measures than any wo have jiow used . We certainly shall comply with tho applicaf 9 m < a m , * Vnf > tn ; . r . . ^ ...

      tion of tho peaceable inhabitants of the town , and do all in ourpower to prevent these riotous proceedings from taking place . The father of the prisoner Bartholomew stated that his son was working until half-past . nine o ' glock on Thursday evening . Mr . Bagshawe said , after the remarks of Mr . Aldersoh little was left for him to say . He wished to iuijiress upon the minds of masters and parents the importance of keoping those ypung persons finder their caro at home , when tho town was in a state of agitation and excitement . If this advice was attended to j the responsibility would , of coursCj he removed from them .

      Mr . Browiiell said ho had occasion to go out with the military ou two occasions ^ when the riot act Was read ; and ho was extremely sorry to say that the great bulk of the crpwds assembled on those occasions consisted of young men ; and apprentices . This was the case on the second occasion especiall y , and had they been kept at home after the warnings given , it was probable that the magistrates would not have had occasion to resort / to the measures which they have done , and that the prisoners would not have beenstandiiig in the situation which they were . Mr . Walker said he had just one remark to make , which , as the reporters were present , would find its way into all tho newspapers . Some of the Chartists affected to believe—but he had no doubt they did not bolicvo it—that the military wero obliged to wait for an hour after the riot act had been read . Now , nothing could , bo more fallacious . If there was si breach of-the peace , the police might act immediately with the greatest sevewty .

      Applications were then niado for tho admission of the prisoners to bail . The magistrates said that if Cox . could produce two'sHraties in £ 100 each , they had no objection to admit him to bail . They should require th e * same amount of bail for Bartholomew and Gallimore . l ' owles , Ciayfbrd , and Liiigard , to find two sureties in £ 50 each . , The prisoners wero then removed and afterwards despatched to York , about half-past one o ' clock in the morning . MASO-Vs CASE .

      Mason , who had been remanded for brawling in the Church , was again brought up , and Mr . Bramley then appeared on his behalf . Mr . Flint's deposition , as far as it had been previously taken , was read over . In addition to the facts there spoken-to , the witness said that he saw tho prisoner standing talking to Mr . Hartop , who waa in Mr . Sorby ' s pew ; tho pi-Uonei- stood tln-lc two ol- three minutes , and then returned to the pew which lie had come from . The excitement continued for some time ; the service did not begin for a quarter of au hour or twoiity minutes after the usual time . The Minister went into the Heading Desk and went out again . The chureh -wasin a- disturbed ' state

      Cross-examined . —I kcew Mason before . L had known hiui twelve months ; I knew . that ho was in Messrs . Chapman and Stacey ' s shop ; they are pawnbrokers ; 1 knew his voice ; 1 have heard him speak iu my shop ; tho disturbance continued for about twenty minutes after the time the service generally commences . Air . W . Wake deposed , that on Sunday morning , ho had boen with his sisters to church , which was not in a fit state for ladies , and was returning when he met Mr . Surby . Witness aiid his brother went to church with Mr . Sorby about twenty minutes before ten o ' clock . Two of Mr .. - Sorby ' s sons , Mr . Hartop , of Hoy land , and witness ' s brother , went with Air . Sorby to church ; tliore were nine men in Mr . Sorby ' s pow , aiid ono at the door ; Mr . Sovby went to-his-own pew , and told tho men that he wished them to-make room for himself and family and that if there

      was any room to spare after his own family was seated , they wero welcome to stay ; Mr . Sorby then opened the door and went to the tar end of the pew , and sat down upon a man ' s knee ; Mason then camoto him with a book , which he ' - ' supposed to be a prayer-book ; in his hand , aiid he told tho people that they had '" as much right to the pew as any othor person . He told them to sit stills He said so energetically , Witness lieard the expression "Keep your Beats and don ' t flinch . " He did not Bee the person who spoke . Great disturbance occurredin consequence of the expression . As the prisoner was gpiu ^' and coming to Mr . Sorby ' s pew , there was great hissing and criCvS of throw him QVer . A man who came down with the prisoner , struok at Mr . llartop . The disturbance continued tor some time , and tho service did not commence tfntil twenty minutes after tho usual time . The disturbance began directly after the words keep your seats and don ' t

      i-inclil-Cross-examiued—Mr . Sorby said that the pew was his , and he wished to have it . A man said "wo pay Easter Dues , and hayo as much right to it as you have . " Mr . Sorby said , " I pay Easter Dues , aud £ 6 a year for the pew beside . " Mr . Sorby ' a two sous and myself , my brother , and Mr . iiartop then entered tiio pow . Mr . Hartop collared one of tho men , and then went out . There wag no disturbance before Mr . Hartop collared the man . Mr . Sorby did not collar any person . The prisoner said to Mr . Hartop , there was nothing in the Prayer Book which justified his turning a man out . There were 30 i ) or 400 persons in the gallery who did not belong to tho regular congregation . John Ward is 0110 of thebeadlesand attends the

      , Parish Church regularly ; for several Sundays beforo the l . asti there had been a large concourse of people in the galjery ; they ran up stairs a fast as they could , and jumped upon th « backs of tho pewswitnesa saw the prisoner iu the gallery of the church on Sunday last , aud on several previous Sundays On Sunday , Mr . Sorby ' B pew was occupied by strangers ; 1 went to Mr . fcwrby ' g pow , and offered to find the men other seats ; the prisoner then caine dpwn and said-- " Sit still , you have as much right thero as any one else ; " some person said—" D- —n . them , keop your seats ; " when the prisoner came down , he said— " Koep your seats , and don ' t flinch •" witness had no doubt ho could havo got the people OUt if tho prisoner had not come down .

      Cross-examined—There were criei in the gallery at different times ; I heard the vicar on one Sunday , invite the people to come on the followiut Sunday . 6 L Wild proved that ho uw th « prisoner in church on Sunday . Cro 38-exaoiincd—I did not sea him mis « ondaet himseltv This was the case for the prosecution . Mr . Bramley then addresBed the Bench oh behalf pf the prisoner , contending that tho evidence against him waa very slight . The man was a parishioner and therewas no evidencQ to show tliat he had goul n church with any improper motive . He also alluded t . o th . o Viear ' s invitation , and said that the

      poople being much gratifiod and edified by the sormon they heard , resolved to go again . He then called two witnesses , named Henry Morris-and bamuel Pogaon , who were with tho prisoner in the church , and who denied that he used any of the expre « sion » attrihutod to him . They said that he remonstrated against the pooplo filling tho front i ) ews . Tlio prisoner , when ho left the pew in which xm *^ l ^ S » said ho would got the people out of Mr . Sorby ' s pow . The prisoner merely remon-RtT . at « d with Mr . Sorby for turning the people out . He said . there was nothing in theV ? rayer Book to justify tho people being turned out . ' ¦ ¦ Mi . Palfreyman aftorwarda replied , eontendihg that the ratnesgea for the defence had confirmed the « ase for tho prosecution .

      ^ Ihe prisoner m his dofence , said he had been at the churcli two Sundays . He went in an orderly nwuner , without any intention of creating a disturbailee , nor did he create any . The ^ Magistrates , after a short consultation , called upon the prisoner to find two eeourities in £ 50 each to appear at the Sessions . ' The following prisoners were charged with refusing to : move when ordered by the police viz Patrick Farrall , Jarvis Ibbetsonj John Simmonite " ' John Unwiii , John Barker W .

Fellow -Citizens and brother Chartists . —Inspired by your noble resolution to establish a Charter Association in Uui . lin , the metropolis of your country , in order to a < ssist in obtaining "the great fundamental principles contained in the People ' s Chart « r , -without the possession of "which no nation can Le sud to be free , -we ftlt ourBelvee bound bj eyery " sentinieni of respect , by every fe-eling of fraternal affeciion , » nd tlie most pror

      found gratitude , to address jou , on the present intert * t ^ ing occasion , eonvincod . that not only our fellow citizens of Ireland , but that the "working elaases of everj civilised nation in the -world will become auxiliaries also , in tbe great cause of political , moral , and social redemption ; and encouraged by your noble example , will unite in one common bond of brotherhood , never to separate , in sentiment , or relax in exertion until the disfranchised millions shall finally triumph , and teach the haughty lords of tho earth , who now hold them in servile thraldom , that , us labour in tlie Bource of all wealth , so it must be made the fonmt&in of all honour .

      Brother Chartists of Ireland , —It would be superfluous to expatiaVe on your privations and sufferings , they are too uniTersdly felt and too generally acknowledged to be dwelt on . in this address ; and those privations and Bufferings ¦ which many of you are made to endure , must be doubly bitter to a bnve and generous country whose people it is acknowledged are one of the most hospitable in the world ; to you , whose greatest pleasure wag to entertain tbe wanderer and strangar , to whatever country , sect , or religion he miyhk happen to belong ; and your greatest ambition seemed to be ¦ who should reoeivo him first and contribute most to his comfort ; trot now , alas , that your country in OTerrun with usurpers , and goTemed by strangers with a-rod of iron , and who s » shamefully rob you of the fruits of your

      honest industry , that you have scarce a potato * to bestow a supplicating brother wh » may ba steeped deeper in misery than yourselves . Unite , then , in the great and noble cause of Chartism , and you will soon be enabled to remore that tyranny » nd oppression whick h » Te I reduced the people in general , bnt the > working classes I to particular , of your beautiful aud fertile country to i their present slavish * nd pauperised condition . Among I many other good qualities , your love of union is not ! the least oonspieuons ; this passion , if we may so expreee it , seems to bo implanted in your yny nature , — afid what is better still , and redound * to your eternal 1 honoHr , is , that lioweTer poor the individual may bCj I all the -wealth i * the world seenu not sufficient to corrupt his mind , io far as to induce him to betray hii

      united brother * . If ever there mi a time since tht world was called into existence that required union among the working classes mora than another , the present is that time . ~ Ltt ns thus firmly unite , combine z 31 onr eaecgies , and call eTery faculty Into action on this trying occasion ; let us n » longer b « Influenced by national at individual prejudices ; lot us forget all minor differencee , and unite as one great family , having only one interert and one object in view , namely , justice for Ireland , justiceior England , and justice for all the "World . The people of England , Ireland , and Scotland firmly united , nothing will b » -wanted but obs great and simultaneous rising , should bur claims be finally rejected , to enable us to dictate our own terms regarding the form and administration of our future Government Should you prefer to cat the bond of connexion

      between yovtr country- and ours , 70 U will have it xajrpnr ; power to do » o , and we , afc faithful affies , « haH W-ever rea < ly to assist and wend you , « r * hoold yon w&n to incorporate yqnr toujtry with « qnaT right * , equal lawsj and to © ftjoy in ereT ^ rwp ^ t a perfect equality of wndltkm with Eogland , iN ^ iie equally at your aecvlee , aud shall willingly contribute , by every mean * in oar power , to your future happineas . To effect tini great andneceesary change will require * 11 our energy and all onr "wisdom ; but if we do our duty like men , we shall saoceed , and other nations will foliov the glorlonj example : but should we let th « present moment Klip "without obtaining our rights as citizens of a free country , wo shall be fallen indeed , and our memory will be handed down with the curse « f our children and posterity stomped on it , til the annals of nationi cease to be recorded .

      BroQier Chartists , Our first great principle is .-UniTerMl Snfifeage , which is the foundation of natural , political , and » ocial justice . Therea » only nineteen in a hundred in England , and but five in a hundred in Ireland , who enjojr the right of enfranchisement . Jlr . O'Connell ' 8 motto ia— "Justice for Ireland ; " but how is it possible to obtain justice for either England or Ireland without the concession of this great and nniversaJ right ? The thing is impossible : all the Reforma that may be 'brought about short of Universal Suffrage , -would neither do justice or give freedom to a natiun . Who is the tyrant ? . He who substitutes his will for the law . AVho is the slave T He "who is compelled to obey the will of a tyrant . How then , by this old Pagan system , can justice be tlone to the eighty-one in a hundred in England , and the ninety-five in a hundred in Ireland , who do not enjoy the right of enfranchisemeut ? therefore , to us , the demand of justice to Ireland -without a concession of the suffrage iu -mestion in the first instance , is entirely incomprehen ^ luc Brother Chartists , We have express .- . * our jenti mL-Ets pretty freely , aud hope you -will no the same ; icrt -ere : tro quite suro tljat nothing -will be- lost by free , fair , and ffnlightcne ;! -liseussion , and shall conclude by ¦ wishing -we iniiV all liv « io seethe * -iir :: erTa lAe—ttia l ' .-ui ol tike . s .-a" s free . : jsperous , aud uappy country , And suV .-cribcourselv < -5 . ? -Mo-fi- CUkt-us iin'l ^ v ' -. thvTChT-nAs , Yours ia fr . itvrnity dli-der . th , \ - < . ) a beiUilf of the _ W .-riiticn , ) i J .

      CARLISLE . Board of Guardians . ^ -A meeting of this body took place it the Council Chamber , on Thursday week , Mr . Edward Rowland in the chiOr . A me . niorjal was proseuted from , tho - burgesses of Botchergatu Ward , complaining of the unfair and partial manner in -which Mr . Donald , the overseer , had . made put the list of Municipal voters ; having omitted tlie names of aboui 500 out of a constituency of 000 . The memorial was put in , and read—it was very respectfully worded , and prayed the Board to make a full exaiuinaf ion Into th « conduct of the overseer . Mr . Kichardson , ifoninonget contended that , the . Hoard had . nothing : whatever to do with the niattcr—that it would come more properly beforo the Mayor rand Assessors , and that those who

      had bc « n put . o'lf , could put in claims , if they considered they had a right . Mr . K . moved that the memorial lie upon the tabie . Mr . Edward Armstrong , Dr . ilell , and others , atrongly . insisted on the riglit of . the Board to enquire into the conduct of the oyeraeer . After a great deurof animated discussion , it was finally agreed thai tho overseer should be called in . Mr . Donald thai 111 a . de his appearance , and in answer to questigns put ¦ by ' the Chairinan and others , declared , that in omitting so ' great 11 number of burgesses , he acted on liis own responsibility , and that he had not instructions from any ono whate \ pr ; and Unit he had put all o if who tiui not pay the rates , directly . Now it may be necessary to observe , as regards this locality , that in many cases tho landlords pay tlie rates for their tenants .. as it is a

      great saving , of tisie and trouble to the overseer ; moreover ; tlie lahdlortls often compound -with the pariatt foi the fates of the whole of their properties ; : indeed , -vr » know- of . one ; ciiso—tliat of a building elub—whicli compounaa for soi . ne hundreds of tenants . —of course the rent is regulated accordingly ; in fact we consider tho landlords in these instances as tho mere agenfa of the tenants , the BrUgenorth ; case , a 3 quoted by th « Whig journal , of last week ; does not bear a shadow of reseinblance to this case . But what will be the ^ res ult should the Mayor and Assessors . ¦ ' ¦ - decide against tha claims of those -who have been put olf ? Why , that the landlords aud teuiintu will make arrangements , that th « latter shall pay the rates in future , and that they will be deducted from the rent . Thus the labours of tha collector of rates will be increased ten , and in some instances twenty told ! Vf a ought to observe tha t the declaration of Mr . Bonald , the overseer , to the Board of Ouardians , is quite in ; contradiction to statements mwle by him to several who complained of having been put oft . the Burgess List . He told them he had " acted aocording to instructions . ;¦ " and we have no doubt of it ; indeed the violent deineanour of Mr . ltichardson Would almost warrant Us in believing , that : he has been , al least , one of the party .
