The spirit of insubordination which haa prevailed ia various parts of thecountry , _especially in Ireland , has farced upon our consideration topics ofa far _mcr-j grave and euxiout character . We have cordiailF concurred in those measures which have bsen
_thougtst necessary te _secura obedience to the _Hws , and to repress and to prevent _ontrage and rebellion . Deeply sensible of tbe value of _thoseinstltuiions under which we bave the happiness to live , no effort on our part has been wanting to _preserve thera from tha evil designs of misguided mm , who , taking advantage of a _aeason of _temporary distress , have endiavoured to excite discontent and insurrection . Wa have witnessed wish gratl . tndeand prond satisfaction the unequivocal _expression , on the part of the great mass of the people , of mirks of attachment to their sovereign and respect for the law ; and we , as their representatives , participating to the fullest exbfit in their feelings , now tender to yonr Majesty tha sincere expressions _ofourdevet ! on and loyalty . ' The right _honourable gentleman then presented to her Majesty , ttr the royal _asBent , the Consolidated Fund AuproLiriation Bill , and the Exchrqcer Bills Bill .
Her _MjWebtt gave her royal assent to these bills , and al « o to the Capper and Lsad Duties BUI , and Muscat Slave Trade Treaty , Preliminary Irquiries Act Amend _, ment Bill , British Weet India Colonies and Mauritius BUI , _SariBgs Bank ( Icelaai ) Bill , and City of London Sewer * _BUlT The Lobd CflAKCsttox then advanced to the foot of ths throne , and handed her _Majesty a copy ofthe speech , which she read la a clear and audible tone : — Mt Lords acd Gentlbuem _, I am happy to be able to release yoa from the duties of a laborious and protracted cession .
The Act for tha Prevention of Grime and Outrage in Ireland , whieh received my assent at the commencement of Uie session , was stte & ded by the most benefiml effects . The open display of arms intended fbrcrimical purposes was checked , the course ef justice was no longer interrupted , and _severalatrocions murderers , who had spread terror through the country , were apprehended , tried , and convicted . The distress in Ireland , consequent npon successive failures _m the production of food , bM been mitigated by the application af the law for the relief of the poor , and by the amount of charitable contributions raised in other parts of the United Kingdom .
On the other hand , organised confederacies took advantage of the existing pressure to excite my _suffering aabjects to rebellion . Hopes of plunder and confiscation were held ont to tempt the distressed , while the most visionary prospects were exhibited to the ambitious . Ia thiB conjunction I applied to yonr loyalty and wisdom for increased powers ; and , strengthened by yonr prompt conccrrence , ( my government was enabled to defeat , in a few days , machinations which had been prepared during many months . The _energy'and decision shown by tiie Lord Lieu'eaant ot Ireland in this emergency deserve my warmest _approbation . In the midst of these _difficalties yon have continued your labours for the improvement of the laws . The act for facilitating the sale of e cumb red estates will , I trust , gradually remove an evil of great maznitude in the social state of Ireland .
The system of perpetual entails of land established in Scotland produced very serious evils , both to heirs of entail acd to tbe community ; and I have had great satisfaction in seeing it amended , npon principles which have long _bes-a fonnd to operate _beneficiallv in this part of the United Kingdom . I have given my cordial assent to the measures which have in view the improvement of the public health , and I entertain an earnest hope that a foundation has been laid for continual advances in this beneficial work . _GeSTLHMEH _CF IBB _IIOTJSS O ? COMM 053 , I have to thank you for the readiness with which yea have granted the supplies necessary for the public service . 1 shall avail myself of every opportunity which tiie exigencies of the state may allow tor enforcing economy . Mt _Lobbs asd _Gestleues .
I have renewed , in a formal manner , my diplomatic relations with the government of France . The good understanding between the two countries has continued without the slightest interruption . Events of _dsep importance have disturbed the internal tranquillity of many of the states of Europe , both in the north an < i in the south . These events hava led to hostilities between neighbouring countries . I am employing my good office ? , is concert with other friendly powers , to bring fo an amicable settlement those differences , and I trust that onr _effwts may be successful . I am rejoiced to think that an increasing sense of the value of peace encourages the hope that the nations of Europe may continue in the enjoyment of its blessings .
Amidst these convulsions I have had the satisfaction of being able to preserve peace for my own domini ns , and to maintain onr domestic tranquillity . _Tiu strength of onr _inttitutions has been tried , and has nst been found wanting . I have studied to preserve the people committed to my charge in the enjoyment of that temperate freedom whiehttey so justly value . My people , on their side , feel too sensibly the advantages of order and security te allow the promoters of _pillage and confusion any _chtnee of _succeis in their wicked designs . I acknowledge , with grateful feelings , the many marks of loyalty and attachment which I have received from all classes of my people . It is my earnest hope that , by cultivating respect to the law , and obedience to the precepts of religion , the liberties of this people may , by the _blesaisg of Almighty God , be perpetuated .

A Railway Under Water, —On The Express T...
A Railway under Water , —On the express train , which left Carlisle at twenty-seven minutes past one o ' clock on Thursday afternoon , arriving at Garstang , abont four o ' clock , the passengers were greatly surprised and alarmed at finding the red signals np , and all the passengers of thi _pennyt-mile train , which had preceded them , out of their carriages , and standing on the line . On cautiously coming np they fonnd that the rails in the Bamacre cutting were nearly two feet deep in the water , for
the spacs of about a mile , by which no less than five trains were prevented from punning their retpecfive _joarneys ; and it was several hours before this extraordinary flood subsided sufficiently to let them pass , in- doing which the greatest caation had to be used . The water is supposed to have come from the Bleadsdale Fell , over which a violent thunderstorm , accompanied by torrents of rain , bad burst but a short time previous to the line being immersed in the water .

Louis Blano And Tne English Press. The F...
LOUIS BLANO AND TnE ENGLISH PRESS . The French Revolution of these later days burst on the ear of mankind like an _earthquake , and the tremor was felt over Europe . The journalists of England who know so little of revolutions , became at once chroniclers and _historians . The leading journalists had their correspondents iu Paris , and the np . making weekly newspapers compiled and arranged the choice paragraphs with celerity and effect . Every merchant on the Exchange , every workman in the shop , every attendant ofthe coffee-house , became at once a politician , and what news from France ? was the _honrly interrogative of every passer by . It was _olear , that eo universal an exoitement wonld end in the sacrifice of a few brave and honest men .
In the hoar of triumph and of success , fraternity became spiritual equality , and all ideas of conventionality and class-interest gave way to the universal impulse ef national rejoicing . Sueh a state of national mind , however , could not long continue . The next great question aBked was , what wasto be done ? England paused seriously . Tbat question always causes consternation and excitement . A nation of arithmeticians and economists were not likely to answer that plain query . It was in vain that tbey rushed to their book shelves , _< o look for their confession of faith ; the disciples nf Dr Adam Smith the Kircaldy philosopher , conld not solve the preblem ; but one course waB clear , and how well the leaders ot the Press received the cue .
Louis Blanc muat bo written down . The Timbstbe great gnn of the Mammon _fortreBS , was the first to lead . Louis Blanc ' s _bnokwas reviewed , and formed the subject of a Eerie ? of leaden which breathed a spirit of contempt , and the Labour question was settied with a sneer . The Economist , edited by a pure follower of the economists , next comes out with the solution . An amy ot facts is always unanswerable to those who know little beyond the maxim of buy cheap and sell dear . The rule of three was all powerful ; it waa proved that work done in the national workshops cost more than if it had been done by private contractors in Paris . The Edinburgh Chambers named Louis B ! ano a Lilliputian philosopher , and the cant terms of visionary , theorist , and
enthusiast , have since been the favourite phrases of our ready writers . Jt is almost , needless to remark that the { country editors , who live on the crumbs tbat fall from the table of tbeir metropolitan pioneers , gave full effect to the sentiments of the London Press . Since then , subsequent events have tranBpired—suspicion has been thrown freely on the motives and character of Louis Blanc—and madman and enthusiast are now too mild terms to be used . In the midst of this vast Babylon of tumult I humbly crave a hearing , and select yeur journal as the most extensively circulated trades journal in England as my medium of communication . Louis Blano has attempted an organisation of labonr—he makes a demand on the rich to do justice
to the poor—and one ofthe earliest attempts on the part of our author is to lift the _mtsk oi religion off those who use it for their country ' s rnin . He boldly astertB that man 5 b a material as well aa a spiritual being , and that to look to man ' s material interests is the duty and interest of all men . How necestary and great is this teaching . In England as well as in France , we require a practical recognition of this truth . It is in vain that we every sabbath day hear read the doctrine of Love tby neighbour ; ' we know that the clashing of interests , the _stride for bread , mars our spiritual life—we have no love , we cannot love . 'Blessed are those who suffer , ' may be true in the future , but' Cursed are those who want' is true in the present ; and our material relations unchanging , no
spiritualism will bring us bread . When we travel by omnibus or railway , the guard or conductor asks his fare ; when we go to a baker ' s Bhop and ask for bread the _shopwoman asks the penny . Experience has taught ns the truth of tbis material interest . Spiritualism conceives man to have mind alone ; it admits in theory man ' s dual nature , but its religious administrators nourish only the spiritual ; and that not even in its highest acceptation ; intellect and imagination are seldom appealed to , they content themselves with teaching the doctrine of self denial , and self-suffering . A repression of desires is their favourite theme . To bear , forg ive , . and he forgiven , is their teaching to the poor ; bnt such doctrines alone , have not , and cannot govern man . The rich
speculators struggle for geld , aod the poor fall victims . This system is net new in England , but its effects are every day more dreadful . From a mass of evidence I quote the following , which will give the reader an idea of England sixteen years ago : — ' Mr Wood , a large and highly respectable manufacturer at Bradford , says , children have been confined in the factory from six in the morning till eight at nightfourteen hours continually—without any time beiBg allowed for meals , rest , or recreation ; the meals to be taken while attending the machines ; and tbis is the practice ot years . * * This is the practice of Bradford . * * The
children there occasionally work twenty-four hours every other day , out of which they are allowed three hours only for meals . & c . When trade is particularly brisk , the elder children work from six in the morning till seven in the evening , two hours being allowed for meats , & c , and every other night all night , whioh is a Btill more severe case . For thia additional night labour they receive fivepence . There is another lamentable circumstance attending the employment of these poor children , which is , that they are left the whole night alone , the sexes indiscriminately mixed together ; consequently you may imagine that the depravity of our work people is indeed very great . '
' Even at this moment , while I am thus speaking in behalf of these oppressed children , _whatnumbers of them are still at their toil—confined in heated rooms , bathed in perspiration—stunned with the roar of the revolving wheels , poisoned with the noxious effluvia of grease and gas—till at last tbey tun ont , weary and exhausted , almost naked , plunge into the open air , and creep , shivering , to beds from which a relay of their young workfellows have just risen ; and such is the fate of many of them , at the best , while in numberless instances , they are diseased , stunted , crippled , depraved , and destroyed . '—March 16 th , 1832 . At this hour there are not fewer than one million and a half able-bodied labourers dependant on parish and eleemosynary relief . Every trade is crowded with surplus labourers . This in England , too , the model nation of the spiritual doctors and supply and demand philosophers ; the first teaching
restraint and submission to the poor , the latter saying no restraint for gold getting . Is it not time that we began to consider the material interests of all men , and introduce some new practices for the _developement of man ' s material and mental nature . Is it not time to ask , are mankind , the great controllers and regulators of tbe material world—whose genius unfolds _thejsecrets of nature—whose skill spans these islands with an iron belt and makes the seas a highway—whose power causes a hundred _spindleB to move with mathematical correctness , and measure time in moments ; to continue a degraded , a worthless race of slaves and slave owners ? Are we never t o know a higher and nobler destiny than rich gaolers and poor prisoners ? Methinks we may . And 1 write all honour to yon Louis Blano , a child of genius and the people , —and if English economists insult you when living , and dishonour you when dead , English workmen will ono day esteem and honour
you . It is ten years since Louis Blano wrote his book on labour ; he foresaw tha coming revolution , and wrote in tbe fulness of his heart . He wished the Revolution to have a destiny , and used his powers to give it a character ; and was it not necessary that France above all other nations , should learn not to waste human blood for mere political struggles ? It a mere change of dynasty was all that was necessary history would have proved the benefit by a change of the crown from the head of Charles X . to Lonig Philippe . Nations need something more radical than mere political change of mien . A change of masters dess not imply a change of burthens . A nation might even pass from an oligarchy to a
republio , and the people continue enslaved ; and the whole value ot political power rests in the results manifested in the relations of property , the wiser and more equitable distributions of wealth , and in effecting such ohaDges as the intelligence and necessities of the state demand . Louis Blanc laboured to secure for tbe poor man ' the certainty ef haring work , daily bread , clothes , shelter , and the power to lore and hope '—far more substantial benefits it must be admitted , than were secured by the revolutions of 1798 and 1830 ; and ' so anxious was he to convey a sound worth of social questions , that he impressed tbe thinkers of France to probe social questions to the , bottom , an advice it will will be well for England to follow . This fact seems to be
important , for it proves the practical tendenoy of tbe mind of the author ; he is bo more theorist who has weighed the value of social investigations , and continued perseveringly to teach his fellow countrymen what to him seemed valuable and useful for their welfare . But , sir , there is nothing dreadful or horrifying in tins dootrine . I wonld think it a waste of time to argue for the right of the poor to bs fed ; the desirability of such a result is doubted by no man of sane mind , aad on its accomplishment rests the security of all classes . The question of _thisdiy is not whether this or that king or queen shall rule , tbis or that dowager or lady shall have a place or pension . No ! it is a question of deeper import , it is whether the people of all lands shall continue to be robbed by centralised capitalists , and
confederated governments , or become one bond of civilised freemen . The naming of this proposition startles the rioa and monied classes , but it must be solved , or anarchy and _csnfasion , blood and barncades , will prevail . Wisely and well did the much-abused and little understood Louis Blano write the following paragraph :- ' 0 ! ye rich they deserve you , who would excite yon against those who consecrate their vigils to the calm and pacific solution of social problems . Tea , this holy causeof the poor is your own ! A celestial bond unites yon to their poverty by fear , and links you by your own interest to their future deliverance . Their enfranchisement alone c an open to you the hitherto unknown realm of tranquil enjoyment ; and snob is the virtue of the principle of fraternity , that

whatever is taken from their sufferings , is necessarily added to your enjoyments . Beware , they say , beware of the war between those who have and those who have not . Were this impious war , indeed , to be feared , what must we think , Great God ! of the social order that carries it in its entrails ? Wretched sophists ! they do net see that the system of which they s ammer a defence , would be condemned without reserve , if it merited the disgrace of their alarms . What ! there should be sueh excess of Buffering in those who have not—such hatred in their _eouls , and in the depths of society so impotuous a desire for revolt , that hit to pwa * s < _i-a _« tfaawwd fraternityths word of Christ , is a terrible imprudence , and the signal of some new tttmult ! No , be re-assured ; violence alone is to be dreaded where discussion is repressed . Order bat no better shield than study . Thanks to heaven ! the people understand now that
if anger at times chastises evil , it is powerless to produce good ; that a blind and fierce impatience would but pull down ruins under which the seedling ideas of justice and love might be buried . The question is not how te displace wealth , it is how to _universale and render it fertile . The question is , how to elevate forthe happiness of all , without exoeption , the standard of humanity . ' Suoh , sir , are the sentiments of that man whom the English press have laboured so industriously to destroy . Sueh doctrines , I own , are not fitted for those who think that one portion of mankind should be the _slaveB of a few . They have no association in common with the murdering of infant children , or the casting out of poor wretoheB from tbe estates of the landowners—but they have much that is common to humanity and true civilisation . With your leave I will resume this subject on an early day , and remain as ever , yours faithfully . A Leap from the Annua tt A August 20 . Shoemaker ' s Gabrei .
The Proposed Alterations In Tiie Land Co...
THE PROPOSED ALTERATIONS IN TIIE LAND COMPANY SO ins EDITOR OF THE _KORTHERH STAR . Sir , —It _appeara that Mr O ' Connor ' s propositions in connexion with the Land Scheme , are not likely to meet with general apprcval ; Btill I hope they will meet with calm consideration , and the candid investigation which anything emanating from that gentleman so justly merits . It seems to be a general opinion that some of them wilt require modification to adapt them to the _wantsand poverty of a large number
of the shareholders ; but this nay eaBily be done , and yet , in my opinion , leave them a good deal improved . The proposed addition to the shares , although no higher than they should have been at first , is by far too highfor a great number of the present members , so much so , as to deprive them of all benefit from the Company , by reason of their poverty ; and to put it out of the reach of the poor man , would be to destroy the best feature of the plan , and thereby defeat the very intentions of its philanthropic founder , as it is and must continue to be , the poor man ' s Land Plan .
But it is possible to make an addition to the shares , so as not to be oppressive to any , and yet beneficial to the whole ; one fifth of the proposed increase would " give a large sum of money ; even to raise the shares to 30 i . instead of 26 ! ., would make a great improvement on the Bum total , and would fall so light on the shareholder .- individually , that no reasonable man could find fault with the change , neither could he make the want of mesne an excuse for such a trifling sum ; and when there is no just ground for opposition , it is easily overcome . The Aid Fund ib the next proposition the poor man has to complain of , and will require modification ! as a great number of poor men have taken four share ? i irom _alconviotion that less wonld not be
sufficient to support their families . A penny a week per share , being for fonr shares 17 s . 4 d . a-year , and with no certainty when the payment is to cease , will make the poor eiok at heart , as they cannot see the possibility of paying ee mucb , and the consequence is they will ( cease paying altogether : they will rather lose what they have paid than pay more , as they know aot when tome unforeseen circumstance might compel them to lose the whole , by leaving themjunable to pay so large an amount of aid money . Bat vere it reduced to one halfpenny per week , I believe few would object to it , and aa it would be permanent , eo long as required , it wonld , even atthe halfpenny , bring in a large sum yearly , and make a _bandseme addition to the capital of the Company ,
I am of opinion , that to establish a Bonus Fund on the same principle as the Aid Fund , would be very convenient for a large number of poor member- ) , in giving them an opportunity of paying in small weekly instalments , that which they never could pay in one sum ; so that it would be beneficial for every branch to establish a Bonus Fund—the money to be phced in the Land Bank , to the credit of the individual parties , snd interest to be payable on sums only at and above one pound—those who eould afford larger sums , could pay in at once or twice whatever amonnt they thought proper , as the bonus weuld then take the place of the ballot at location . When an estate was ready to be allocated , the allottees to be selected would be thoie who have paid the greatest amonnt of bonus . By this means , the rich wonld be first selected , but would have to pay at a higher rate for the preference , and the large bonus of tha rich wonld hasten the _Buccess of the
poor . The reducing the rent to four per cent , would also encourage tbe paying ef a higher bonus , as the allotment would be the difference in rent the more valu able to the holder , and wonld also give increased security as a money investment , and afford additional inducements for capitalists and those having loose money to invest . It is likewise necessary that the Company should he purged ofa macs of useless and annoying members , for that purpose I wonld give every facility to those inclined to sell to others anxious to join _, and who would be active and industrious members . After giving this liberty to the indolent and dissatisfied , I wonld then make it imnerative that all shares should be paid up in full
within a given timetwltQ the regular amount of aid money , expulsion to be the penalty of non-compliance . This would remove the discontented , and leave the Company open to persons anxious to join , without increasing the number ; of shareholders ; although I oan see no valid objection to the admitting of new shareholders for some years to come , for with plenty _|*» f money it would be as easy to allocate half a million , as one tenth of that number , and the money of course would always be in proportion to the number !; the only sufferers would be those wha have taken shares for the purpose of speculation , without any intention ef ever taking possession . The paying back of Aid Money wonld be another source of income to the Company , and great
sumbers , I am convinced , would not ouly pay aid money , but also the whole purchase money . I believe any person , with the most common-place management , and ordinary economy , may purchase ont and ont in less than eight years , and I have no doubt but large numbers would do bo . This would be for tbe advantage of shareholders themselves , as it would save the rent annually to them , and save the Company from mortgaging their estates and every member having money to invest , however small the sum , should invest it in the Land Bank , as he can in rest nowhere to suoh advantage to himself ; besides , it will give inoreased facilities to tbe operations of the Company , and . I trust will be one of the means to save the Company from selling , outright , the estates after
location , as I an convinced all enterprising members will purchase their allotments in a few years . But should it be necessary to sell the estates after location , a clause should be inserted in the artioles of sale to allow every member to redeem his allotment within a given number of years , at the same price as sold by the Company , to be ascertained by the proportion his rent bears to the rent of the whole estate ; for members may rest assured that they will purchase on easier terms from the Company than from any of the Company ' s purchasers . And although I am convinced there is not a member in the Company who has greater * or more unqualified confidence in Mr O'Connor tbsn I have , still I look npon it as . _neoesstry , for giving confidence to those _^ having money to lend , that trustees should be appointed , of whom Mr O'Connor should be one , snd I know he would be
the most useful , as well as the most active of the trustees . I would also seriously advise every one of the members to consider that Mr O'Connor cannot live for ever . I am not one of those who suppose his death would deprive the Company of their property , but it would deprive us of that we have no one to supply—his invaluable services ; ao I do hope that every person oonneoted with the Company will nse every exertion in his power to faoihtate the operations of the directors , as by so . _mg he will best ensure his own interest , ami an- nee the interest of the Company . __ . a . _ . Earnestly wishing success to every effort to ameliorate the pangs of poverty , and sincerely syrapathising with Mr O'Connor on accountot the dastardly opposition he has to contend with , in his God-like mission , I am , Brechin , Sept . 1 , 1848 .

THE ABERDEEN LAND COMPANY . TO THB EMI 0 B 07 TM HORTHEBn MAR . _Sjn —In your journal of last week , there is a report of a meeting of the Aberdeen branch of the National Land Oompony , where imputations of a very serious nature are ca _» t upon my character . ] am oharged with having fabricated a variety ef wilful and malicious falsehoods against the promoter and _direotors of the National Land Company , with the intent to Bhake the confidence reposed in Mr F . O'Connor and the direotors by the shareholders of the Aberdeen branch . Now , sir , _juBtice demands tbat I should be heard . Every one knows thst tho _sfftirs ofthe Land Company formed no part ofthe business of the National Convention or National
Assembly ; neither did it form any part in the report I had to make as delegate for thia city ii those _assemblies . DuriBg the two evenings required for the delivery of ray reports , I did not make any charge against Mr Feargus O'Connor or any other man . Indeed , _Irepeatedlystated thatl bad no charge to make against anybody ; but I made the mee ting acquainted with tbe faoti , and proved them by evidence of an irresistible nature . TheBe _faota spoke for themselves , they needed no oomment from me . I _aeeraed , notwithstanding , that I had done something to oall forth the vengeance of Mr John Fraserand some other members of the Land Company . Mr Frazer _endeavoured by a number of cress questions to fix me , and ia reply to one of these , and in the
excitement of tbe moment , I did say that the dupes who had invested their hard-earned means io the Land lottery , would live to see their folly . Now I confess I had no business to make suoh a statement , it was altogether out of order , and being reminded of this , I at once dropped the _eubjeot , but it was a luoky slip for the Land members . _^ A deputation was appointed to wait npon me , and invited ( not ' summoned ') me to attend a meeting of their committee , to explain what I meant by caling them dupes . The deputation waa very civil , and I agreed to attend the meeting . I explained that I had no proofs that either Mr O'Connor or the direotors had misapplied the Company ' s funds , bnt that it was my impression that the plan would never fulfil the members' hopes _.
and also that from some discussions that had taken _plaoein the Dean-street branch , there was reason to _susf-eot tbat all was not right with the management of the Company's affairsand that this was further confirmed by a statement of Mr Cuffay , one of the auditors , made by him in the National Convention , I need not restate the eubjeot discussed in the _Iban-street Society—but it is a faot known to all your readers that _diBsatisfaotion did exist there , and that Mr O'Connor wrote a letter in tbe Star in reply to their complaints * . It ia stated , however , that the secretary of _. the locality haa written officially , contradicting my statements . But what were these statements ? They were made to the _Daan-street secretary , by whom ? And in what manner ?
I have reason to believe the whole matter represented to the _Daan-street eeoretary to be pure inventions—that he has been imposed upon , in order to procure a letter from him , to found a slanderous onarge against me , and I call npon them te prove their oharges , or take to themselves the character they would endeavour to impute to me . I am fully convinced that squabbles , _disputings , party feeling , and above all , personal animosity , have produced many drawbacks to the progress of our principles— but I cannot , even at tbe risk of disunion , suffer the resolutions referred to be published , without vindicating myself from the imputations therein contained .
The Chartists of Aberdeen are fully aware of the causes , whioh led to the passing of such a resolution , and had its publicity been confined to this locality , it would have passed for what it is worth . I am , Sir , yours , truly , Jambs Shireon . Aberdeen , September 4 th .

ASSAULT ON TWO POLICEMEN . Wobbhip _siaasi _Pomob-cotjbt . —On _Wednesday W . Carroll , described as a Frenoh polisher , was oharged with havingheen concerned , with five others , ih a murderous attack upon two constables of the fl division . —Skeltoa Rowley , H 159 , who presented a shocking appearance , his face being much swollen and disfigured , and ene of his eyes closed up , Btatid that shortly before nine o ' clock on the preceding evening he had occasion to visit the Ben _Jonaon public-house , in _Pelbam-street _, Spitalfields , and after remaining for some time in the parlour with another officer , who , with himself , was dressed in plainclothes , the prisoner entered , and after looking _stedfastly at him for a moment , hastily left the
room . He returned , however , in a few minutes , ac . oompanied by four or five other men , one of whom made some observation to attraot his attention , and on turning his head he received a violent blow in the face , and while endeavouring ta defend himself a si . raultaneoua attack was made npon him by the whole party , who flung him heavily upon the _floor , and the prisoner knelt upon his chest , and held him down whilst he and the others kept beating him incessantly about the head and face , to whioh they were incited by the prisoner , who frequently exolaimed , with an oath , ' Give it him ; he's the policeman that has hunted down the Chartists . ' After beating him until he lost the sight of one of his eyes , and his face and clothes were
covered with blond , they all hastened out of the room , and on following tbem as soon as he had sufficiently recovered himself he found that they had all effected their escape except the prisoner , whom he secured . The witness added that the neighbourhood contained great numbers of Chartists , and he had lately been several times put upon his guard that it was their intention to do him some serious injury in consequence of his having _bean specially employed to effect the apprehension of several of their leaders , amongst whom was Shaw , recently committed from the Mansion House upon a charge of sedition . — Police-constable Moseley , lit H , positively identified the prisoner as having taken an active part in the attack , and eaid that he had also been severely
beaten in his efforts to rescue his comrade from the hands of his assailants . The witness further stated that the house where theattaok took place was not one of those used as a rendezvous for Chartists , but that they must have been watched into it by the prisoner and his party , who had evidently entered with no other object than to wreak their vengeance upon them : —Upon being called upon for his defence , it was intimated by a young man standing near him that the prisoner was formerly deaf and dumb , and had only imperfectly recovered the faculties of speech and hearing . . The policeman , however , stated that he appeared in perfeot possession ofthe power of articulation on the previous night , and on bBing questioned by the magistrate as to whether he
comprehended the evidence adduced againBt him he distinctly answered in tbe negative ; his sister thereupon stepped forward , to whom Mr Vine , the chief clerk , read over the depositions , when she explained in broken sentences and gestionlations to the prisoner , and in reply to them he again dearly answered that he had taken no part in the assault . The sister then stated that two or three witnesses were in attendance , to prove that the prisoner had not been actively concerned in the attack , though he was certainly present ; but Mr Arnold said that their evidence had better bo reserved , aa the case was of far too serious a character to be summarily disposed of , and he should therefore at once order him to bs committed to Newgate for trial .

The Sakkary Statb or Whiieohapei ,. —On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr Baker , at the London Hospital , on view ofthe body of J . Barber , sged thirteen , who was living with his parents at No , 17 , Peter-street , Whiteohapel . On the 24 th July , Mr Brown , Inspector of Nuisances of the parish of Whiteohapel , received a communication from the mother of the deceased that the back kitchen was full of foul water , lie informed the churchwardens , who direoted Mr Liddle , medical officer of the union , to examine the place . He certified to the home being unfit for habitation in consequence of the drain from the adjoining house passing its contents into the kitchen . He ( Brown ) took out
summonses against the proprietor of tbe house in queBtien . Since then he has heard that several persons were Buffering from low typhus fever . Last Tuesday week . Mr Ball , surgeon , was called to attend the deceased , whom he found in a state of fever , whioh , in his opinion , arose from the impure state of the atmosphere . —Verdict : ' That the deceased died from fever , caused by a nauseous effluvium from a privy draining into the back part of a house in which he resided , and the jury strenuously recommend that prompt and speedy measures be adopted by theparoohial authorities of Whitechapel for tbe abatement ofthe nuisance , to prevent further mischief . ' The coroner waa requested to write to the parochial authorities .
Affbat bsiwsbh thk Military and tbe Police in Emmbdboh . —The High-street and Lawn market presented , abont seven o ' clock on Saturday evening , a scene of great confusion and _excitementfrbin rjio occurrence of an affray between some soldiers of tae 21 st Sootch Fusiliers , at present stationed in the Castle , and the police , which soon attracted a large crowd . The origin of the affair seems to have been the determined opposition offered by a small party of soldiers , at the toot of the Castle-hill , to the efforts of two policemen , who endeavoured to induce them to move away from the door ofa Bhop , around wbich they had assembled , to the obstruction of the thoroughfare . The policemen having insisted on their removal , a soldier struck one of the constables a
severe blow , when they seized him and endeavoured to convey him te the police offices . The rest of the party interfered , and a straggle took place , in which the police were severely beaten , but a small reinforcement of constables under Serjeant-Major Kelly , having reached the spot , three of the principal ringleaders among the _seldiers were apprt headed along with two workmen , who had joined them in resisting the police . The crowd which had assembled in large numbers , hooted and jostled the police , who bad literally to fight their way to the police-office with the prisoners ; and as many soldiers n ere on their way to the Castle at the time , efforts were made to induce them to attempt a rescue , whioh they declined _. The whole of the prisoners were altim & teW
lodged in the police-office bnt the excitement io tbe street being still verjr great , and as a number of soldiers seemed determined upon a rescue , the police patrolled the Lawn-market and Castle-hill , to preventjfutther disturbance . Mr Moxey , the superintendent of police , immediately proceeded to the Castle , and alter an interview with the commanding officer of the regiment , a strong picquet was drawn up on the esplanade , and several of the officers displayed great activity in collecting the stragglers in the street , and sending them to the Castle . The bugles were also Bounded on the Castle hill , to call in the soldiers , and in a short time ali apprehensions of further disturbances were removed . On Sunday , several policemen identified four of the soldiers
concerned in the affray , in the Castle ; but the man whs was the principal oauee ef the disturbance has escaped detection . Several respectable inhabitants in the Lawn-market lent most effectual assistance ts the police . Yesterday the rioters who had been secured were brought before the sitting magistrates at the polios conrt . Tho soldiers , named Patrick _Skeban , Daniel Maloney , Hugh Macnarnara , and Patrick Tougbley , parties to the first attack on the polioe , were sentenced to pay a fine of two guineas , or suffer thirty days' imprisonment each .
