Mt Xegx Dear Ftutama. —I Shall Now Proce...
Mt xegx Dear _Ftutama . —I shall now proceed to -lay before you the further result * of my recent totir , which 1 concluded at _Al-iccJesliclil on Monday last—a tour which has been the means of reviving Chartism . throughout Lancashire . Yorkshire , and Cheshire .
PRESTO . V . On _Wedacsday night 1 _addressed the good men of Proton ia Lord Derby ' s _cock-pit—the managers of the theatre And other public buildings refusing to adwit rue -rote their sanctuaries for any sum of money . This fact of itself proves that I am a "terror" to * thcir legions , aud that I have arrived at the dignity of being hated . We mustered so strong in Preston , that hundreds could not gain admittance , but were obliged to go away disappointed . Marsden and the old hands hare kept the spirit . _ilirc through thc _ihree years * cairn . As I was the principal speaker at the several meetings , nnd as the subject is one that I shall hereafter illustrate for you and explain to you through the medium ofthe Slur , so thatevery working maw in thc kingdom shall _understand it , 1 ¦ prefer giving you a detail ofour position in the several towns to reiterating my own words .
The meeting at Preston was a splendid exhibition of the intellectual improvement of the working classes : and it " many points of my address were enthusiastically cheered , not a word of it was lost * not a word of it failed to proilncc it * offset . Thi portion * of the system and its consequences which I selected i \> r animadversion throughout my tour were , class legislation ; power of itachincry ; influence of capital ; casualties , _calamities , aud unccrtrdutics , imposed upon the _workiuj classes , the only parties who were not instrumental in producing them ; competitive reserve in tho labour _market ; what constituted a virtuous , and what a ticious competition ; the _scctiontsing of society the inevitable rcsuit of thc centralisation of Government ; the necessity of
indivi-4 _ualising society , so that eacliiuau may know Am oivh value , and society appreciate him at that valuo ; the land as the only possible meaus for placing him in tliat situation ; * the effect of thc law of primogeniture , of settlement , and of entail , and my entire accordance wit a every principle of the frco _tnulcrj , provided that the contracting parties were [ _ilact-d upon a per fect equality . For instance ; I admitted the prudence and justice of throwing the working classes upon "their own resourCvS / ' while I contended for the justice ef taking tht idlers off those resources . I admitted the right of the capitalist to purchase labour in the cheapest market , and to sell its produce in thc dearest market ; but I contended that a system-made idler , who was hired
in the loathsome cellar ; in thc gin-palace ; in the house of call , where poverty congregates ; in tht market-place , where slave * are sold ; in the Mansfield bastile , where degraded pauperism is compelled to grind the air as a badge of inferiority ; in the Au-/ Jover bastile , where the unwilling _idlcriuay be contending with a competitor for the carrion that ha * escaped thc notice ofthe squire ' s well-fed foxhounds , or mayhap ( horrible to tell I ) picking the marrow out of his father s , or mothers , _orbrotlieFs bones !; 1 contended that the capitalist , with an abundance ol _tuouey , aud the power ofsclectum from SUCli a surplus , and the labourer so situated , are not upon such terms of EqcAUTr as to make the contract bctweeu them a fair and _unbiassed contract . I aUo showed the difference to individuals aud the nation between
a lease for ever , aud a lease terminable upon the caprice of a landlord . 1 havo made the whole of the working classes who heard me , and thoy were not few , believe that the labourer who worked forhims « lf upon land that he held for ever was a more free -agent to contract for the sale of that labour to auothcr , than the pauperised unwilling idler , . situated as I have described him . I hare taught them the _difference between slave labour and free labour ; . and the result of my teaching has more than repaid nie for the labour andexpenso . I unhesitatingly declare ¦ that there is now in England a workim ; class mind which precludes the possibility of the minority much longer holding the majority in subjection . The three year * ' calm that has gone by has not been without its profit . Noise and bluster have given way to deep thought .
There are two associations in Preston , evidently struggling for the same object ; but they must know and feel that , as one , they weuldbe much stronger . They promised me that they would unite . I was iiigldy delighted with the Preston meeting .
B ' j'R . VI . Er . On Thursday I proceeded to Burnley , and was met at Blackburn with a coach and four veiy handsome grey horses , au expense which I would rather had ¦ been spared . _Uoweter , I do not the less appreciate the compliment of my warm-hearted friends . Mr . Sutcliffe and Mr . Shutt came to Blackburn for me . On our passnge - _** e were cheered by groups of slaves ; . and when we arrived at Padikaui , the concourse was so large that 1 was compelled to address them at some length . Fran thence to IMackburn _, three miles , we were cheered all along the road by group * -of slaves who had been released from the hard day ' s toil . Shortly after my arrival a very splendid baud played some Chartist airs , and iu less than a quarter
of an hour a great p _;' . rt of the _population of Burnley and surrounding districts was assembled in front of my hotel . Headed by the band , we proceeded to the Temperance Hotel , which had been filled for som ? time before ; our old friend , John Place , was called to tlie chair , ilr . Beesley was first introduced , and woke briefly upon the -value of uuion , and ofthe land , as a means of acquiring social happiuess aud political freedom . I followed , and spoke at considerable length : in fact , until , as in every other place , every stitch on my back , and eren my boots , were a > wet as if they had been soaked in a river . They tell me tbat my speech gave universal satisfaction ; and thc rcsuitmay be seen in £ 10 acknowledged this week for the Land , aud £ 3 for the Executive . At
the conclusion of mv speech James Holgate , of Colne . put some _questions _' to me upon presenting me with the amount paid for twenty shares from that town , and which 1 answered to his satisfaction and to the satisfaction of the meeting . I was sorry here to see poor Tattersall , who was urged on by the _enthua ' lastic promises of bis order in 1 S 12 , suffering under a severe abscess in the back ; the consequence of tht brutal treatment and bad diet he received during hutwo vears' incarceration . Ile is not the same lattersail that he was ; but he is a much better man . lit has suffered more than any other martyr , but lie complains less ; and if not as healthy , is as hearty and vigorous in the cause as ever he was . As I had not met with a more deserving person . I presented himwithmy' _-ah-u-e /' aadpwmiscdtomakcafariner
of him . On the following morning I met somo sixteen or twenty working men at their dinner hour at the Temperance Coffee House , and wc _soeut a very profitable hour together .. 1 then visited the family of that prince of Chartists , Mr . Joseph Sutcliffe , grocer ; ami after a short timo departed for Todmorden , where Ispent four cheering hours with my eld fiiends ; a portion of our time being devoted to climbing up mountain ladders to visit some allotments which Enoch HorsfalL with his long legs , assured inc . were only a mile and a half from _Toibnorden , but if we had stopped at the end of two miles , we should never have got there . However , poor Enoch had walked from Burnley , ten miles , and I had no right to complain . From Todmorden I went to
HOCHBiiB . Here wo had another of those splendid and attentive meetings which _euaracterisB the Tapid march of intellect . Rochdale has distinguished itself by the return of an Irish Chartist , who was too noble and too proudinspirittobowto the O'Connell despotism Rochdale has been the first _amonrjst the foremost to resist the introduction of the horse-flesh and human _marrow-eating Poor-Law ; and Rochdale resolved to out-subscribe our good friends of Leeds by
contributing one pennv more for the Executive . The meeting was every tiling that I could wish * , and after the proceedings , about forty honest working men , many of whom came from distant parts / gave me the pleasure uf their company at my hotel till between twelve and one o ' clock . The veteran , Robert Brook , of lodmorden , who would not p lead " guilty" at Lancaster , was there ; and James Mooney , of Colne , another good soldier in the good fight * was there ; and we had » very delightful , cheerful , and instructive night _taixtlicr .
1 derive vcrv great knowledge from these meeting ? . At them I learn the characters of the leaders in the movement ; and I am happy to say , now that we "have cot rid of " the gentlemen ' that were too proud _^ o work , and too poor to live without labour , there never was a more effective staff , both nationally and locally , thau at present . On Saturdav I proceeded
_MANCHESTER , to conuncmoratc the bloody slaughter on that day twenty-six years , at Petcrlo o . Being Saturday night , and it not being generally known that the meeting was to take place in the Hall of Science , it was not as numerous as npon former occasions : but yet it was a large , an attentive , and enthusiastic meeting _, _.-.-mies Leech occupied the chair ; aud Clark , _-M'Urath , and myself were the principal speakers . Of course , the massacre of the unarmed working classes in 1 S 10 , formed the principal topic . There was one point in mv address , to which I think it lecessarv to direct public attention generally Ifc is this ; thatthe working classes arc not to be charged . _vnh' _-iaconsistcnev" for advocating a repeal ofthe
Urn Laws in isi 9 , and opposing them in 1315 : nor dm the opposition ofthe middle classes to the Corn _i-ansin L 345 at all prove that they have advanced " * liberaVitv . On the contrary , the change proves working class knowledge , and middle class cupidity and selfishness . Thus , in 1 S 19 , machinery had not got tie _t-owtr that it has now ; and the rep eal of the Corn Laws , if serviceable , would have conferred a kind of individual advantage upon labourers who "ore not then sectionalized , as at present , under the _iiuhumce of machinery : every individual then , if it bad been a benefit , would hare had his individual - hare : but under the present power of machinery , tbe master who employs WO hands would have 7 « 01 shares . Hence we find tliat the working men _"Tereright inthciradTOcacy of repeal _inlS 19 , and
Mt Xegx Dear Ftutama. —I Shall Now Proce...
equally right in their opposition to repeal in 13-15 ; aud the masters were equally brutal and selfish ill theiroppositiontorepe . il in 1310 , when they could not have warped all tlic benefit to their own advantage , as they are now in their advocacy of the measure , when they hope to preserve the whole benefit " to their own kindly use so as in due time they may enjoy it . " Ou Sunday I attended
THE RESURRECTION OF CHARTISM AT MinDl _. ETO . V ; nnd a glorious resurrection it was . . Mr friends , —It more than repaid me for my twenty-two yeai _**/ services in the popular ranks ; for I liave served since the time of the "White Boys , " in 1923 . Yes , in truth , it must have made every good man ' s heart bound with joy to see tho tributary streams flowinj : into the unbroken body from every approach and avenue . It must have been a consolation to those who thought that Government _persecution , the influence of capital , the power of machinery , the tyranny of the oppressor , and the Heeling pro . werity of trade , " had crushed Chartism , to see the giant , after three years' slumber , once more buckling on the armour of freedom . The men from Bolton , seventeen and a haif miles , were there ; and I'll go to them in return . But not to" _distinguish one above another , erery town , within fifteen miles , sent it * itaff and its soldiers . If there was one man that
dav rallied around the uncontaminated . standard of Chartism , tliere were TWENTY THOUSAND ; I prove it thus . Everyman present admitted that thc issembly would fill the Carpenters * Hall more than ' leven times ; nnd the Carpenters' Hall will hold 1000 people . But I . have better data—I take it from die hireling of the Manchester Guardian , lie gave is 2000 ; and I _always look upon those fellows in the light of a parson , who value tlieir oxvn share ( the lithe ) , and no move . So multiply his 20 _H 0 by ten , _« id you have thc exact number at which f have . jsttmatcd thc meeting . This arithmetician '' said he counted them fifty one way , and forty another . 1 counted them one way , nnd they made 178 , and I could not count tliem the other way , because the rround was rather uneven .
My Friends , —Tlte circumstances which distinguished this grand demonstration from similar demonstrations , in 1838 and 183 *> , are these : firstly , it was got up with very little notice , and in a very short space of time ; " secondly , we were unaided by the middle classes , who in the previous years swelled our numbers that they might get the control of our movement ; thirdly , thousands thought it impossible to revive Chartism ; fourthly , 'the pillaging parson would not allow us to hold the meeting so near the Church as w . _-is originally intended , and drove us like the covenanters of old through rugged passes to a kind of mountainous retreat , which , to havo satisfaction ofthe parson , I now christen
MOUNT CHARTER ; and fifthly and lastly , itwas the first fine day that the working classes have had _fur a long period , and it was natural to expect that they would look for some otlier amusement after a hard week ' s toil _. When I was introduced to the meeting , not a man flinched , although thc rain fell in torrents and came suddenly upon us . Ono circumstance was more cheering to me and my friends than all the others put together . -Formerly it was almost impossible to command attention at out-door meetings . Stragglers lay upon our flanks , shouting aud playing , while we were generally skirted by a set of mischievous Tory shop-boys , or Whig free-traders . At Middleton not 3 sound was heard but the voice of labour ' s advocate , and the bursting cheer of labourers _demanding their
rights . Daniel Donovan , of Manchester , was _uaninumsly called to the chair , and , inspired by the scene before him , he opened the business iu a short but eloquent congratulatory speech upon such a glorious occasion . He asked all who were interested in the good cause to act as policemen , and preserve order ; and after some further trite and timely _observations , introduced William Dixon , of Manchester , to more the first resolution . Dixon made a splendid speech , which you will see reported elsewhere . Itwas the unly speech whicli can bo reported at length . Bell , of Heywood , seconded the resolution , in a warm appeal to his hearers to follow up the glorious _resurrecciou by a noble resolution to see the principles _aceoiu plished . He - . poke in _eto-iuent terms , aud at considerable length _; and only gave way inconsequence of
the rain coming suddenly upon us . M'Grath , Ciark , Leech , and Doyle , also addressed the meeting in happy strains of rejoicing . Leech , from hia knowledge of agriculture and familar cottage phraseology , produced a great sensation when lie described the _superior pleasures ofa husbandman ' s life over those of an operative slave-. You will see that atthe close ofthe meeting we collected £ 5 7 s . for the Executive . I hero give the tliree resolutions which were carried unanimously , amid thunders of applause : and thus ended the most sober , the most thoughtful , thc most attentive , and the most glorious , although uot the most numerous , nut-door demonstratonevcr held in England . Please God , before the summer is over , we will have many sueh in Lancashire and Yorkshire .
lat , —Tbat we , the working classes of Lancashire , after a ealin of three years , have assembled on this 17 th day ol August , at Middleton , to raise the standard of liberty , ths Vsone ' s _Chakteb . once more ; and we pledge ourselves _, each to the otlier , and all to the country , never to abandon the struggle for the attainment of that measure until we see its final accomplishment . We further pledge ourselves , and invite all friends of freedom to do likewise , not to join any party , whether they be aristocrats , middle class men , or labourers , in any agitatioa which has forks ohieet anv less measure of reform than tbat contained iu
the People ' s Charter . And iu order to inspire our brethren with courage and hope , we beg to express our entire and unqualified confidence in onr present Execative , jintl our _resolution to support them , in spite of the _revilings of tbulsanil knaves . We further pledge oursclve 3 not to recognise any perambulating lecturer , who has not received his appointment as such under the band of our Executive ; * nd we would recommend the Chartist body through the empire to adopt this our firm resolution ; and , to the end thatit may be carried out , we would remimlaU of the indispensable necessity of placing as many Chartist voters as are eligible on the list of voters .
2 nd . —Tliat we , the Chartists of Lancashire , in public meeting assembled , having had four months to deliberate upon the Chartist Co-operative land plan , and _having maturely considered the same , do hereby express oar hearty concurrence hi tho _project and pledge _onrsslves to support it by nil the means in our power , us in its provisions wa recognise the only possible means ( under the present system ) of establishing a fair _standard of wages ia the labour market ; of relieving thosa whose labour is sufficient to perform the required work from injurious competition ; of relieving those employed from the burden of supporting class-made idlers , who w # _old otherwise be a competitive power underbidding those at work in the labour market ; of making capitalists seek labourers when in need of their work , instead of , as at present , labourers being compelled humbly to beg employment from capitalists ; in fine , us a means of converting slaves into free men , by giring to all that _rowsB which every man is en . titled to , of living upon the fruits of liis own labour and by the sweat of hi » own brow .
8 rd . _—ThatthefoTegomgresolutions he published in the Weekly Dispatch , Weekly Chronicle , Sews ofthe World , and Sorthern Star . I left Middleton at a quarter past five for Manchester , where I was to address the people in the Carpenters * Hall ; and again we had a _glorious muster , but not as numerous as upon the previous Sunday , owing to a considerable number of our men not having returned from Middleton till a late hour . I spoke at considerable length upon some new topics connected with the Land and the Charter . The meeting appeared satisfied , as we enrolled thirty-nine members , and six have since enrolled , making fortylive in one night . I received £ 24 ISs . 3 d . for the Land Society . On Monday I proceeded to
UACCLT . ST 1 SLD , where wc had st bumper * , such a bumper as I hope never to see again in such a place , lt was in the Social Hall—a place not more than nine feet high , and without a single window that could be opened . Thc entrance is through a lane and up a passage , which prevents the air from coming in . Beforo I rose at all , I was literally stewed . The old veteran , Stubbs , was in the chair , and first introduced John West , who always makes such a speech as ' no . man can possibly answer—in fact , he wonld have done all the work without me . It is a shame , a crying sin , uay , treason , that we cannot place this man in a situation to enable him to give every moment of his time to our cause . It is actual prostitution to see such intellect weaving pocket handkerchiefs for idlers to blow tlieir noses in . I spokcaftcr West for nearly two hours , until I could literally speak no more . I
was like a dripping statue from head to loot ; anil 1 was so thoroughly stewed , tbat I have no doubt the class-made paupers in the Andover workhouse would have considered me a delicious repast . 1 never saw a meeting better satisfied . After the proceedings had terminated , West and his wife , and several other j friends , came to my hotel aHd sat with me till a late I hour . I was also introduced to the "Joan of Arc , " thc only female that was imprisoned for the League conspiracy in 18-12 ; she is a very comely , cleanly , intellectual looking young woman . The ruffians sent her to Chester for a year ; and her conduct w _* as so good , that the matron appointed her to the office of deputy-matron over the class-made female thieves , and she was remarkable for her good conduct . I asked her what she was imprisoned , for ? and she answered— " I am sure I don't _knotw . sir , * tliey _esfted it conspiracy , because 1 toW tho working _peojp-fe that they * ought not to _starrowhon they wece willing to

work . " Wc enrolled several _nii-mbers , and at halfpast six o ' clock on Tuesday _moriiiug West and a number of other friends came to ' sec me off , and sat with ine _| till I started . Thus I liave concluded a tour which throughout has given me unmixed satisfaction . Nor can I conclude my letter without mentioning a circumstance which is as cheering to me as it must be . 'ratifying to them ; namely , thc entire confidence that the working classes , without an exception , have in their Executive , also without nn exception . The people have now dbcov . ercd that the object of the snarlcrs is to withdraw confidence from an Executive of working men , who merit the _highest praise for their devotion to the cause of Chartism , and who lure evinced the most entire absence of Rclfishi » 3 by slaving away , while in arrear of wages _atuemtting to
nearly £ 00 . They not only did not murmur or complain _, but tliey did not even relax in tlieir exertions ; and I have the pleasing consolation to be placed in a situation which enables me to dcm . iii : ] justice for men who arc too proud to ask it for themselves . You will sec that by my own exertions I have collected the sum of £ 0 ) 4 a . 3 d . towards the liquidation of their just claims : and now , my friends , if Chartism is to revive ; and if my unpaid services are worth my reward ; and if the snarlcrs are to ho balked of ' their prey—the ruin of Chartism—through the destruction nf our Executive ; and if the spirit dwells within you , let us sec that you do not require further appeal Irom
me to remind you of your senso of duty to yourselves and your appointed servants . Let every town in England , Scotland , and Wales sond in its fair share . Let us have a surplus instead of a deficiency in the exchequer ; andl pledge myself that in less than one month we will recall . half a score of our toolong-idle lecturers once more to preach the spirit of social happiness and political freedom—the Land and thc Charter . Thanking you , my friends , more fully than I can find words to express my feeling !* , for your uni _.-orni attachment and confidence iumc , despite the malice of hypocrites , slaves , fools , and tools , I remain your ever faithful friend , and unpurchaseable servant , Fharocs _O'CoM . _-son .

GERMANY . Thk New Cjmiouc _Movbuest . —A letter from Halbcrstadt , in _l'mssia , of tho 7 th , says : — "M . tlonge preached hero to-day , in tho court of the cathedral . As he terminated his sermon with the words * Rome must aud will fail / a Catholic exclaimed , * And you also , heretic , ' and then advanced to M . Itongewith the intention of throwing a stone at liim , but another Catholic , who was near thc preacher , prevented this , and knocked the offender down with a stick . A great tumult then ensued , and the troops were called out , and forced to use their arms . It is said that several persons were severely wounded . Before peace could be restored the partisan ' s
ofAl . Ronge bad pulled to the ground tlte _housa o ( the man who had menaced him . _Thh " New _ltEronuATio . f . "—The following letter from Halbcrstadt furnishes further particulars relating to the preaching of Abb 6 Ronge : — " Halbcrstadt , Aug . 10 . —On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Ronge , who has numerous partisans in this place , delivered his first sermon at llatberstadt , in the open air , and in the yard of thc cathedral , before several thousand persons of every age and sex . As soon as he had pronounced thc last words of his sermon , whicli were these , — 'Yes , brethren , Rome ought to fall , and she will fall ! ' arustlingnoisc was heard union /? the portion ofthe audience nearest thc pulpit , when a salesman , well known for the fervour of his religious belief
, rushed forward" after Abbe Ronge , who had just left the pulpit , and endeavoured to throw a stone at him . The persons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented liim realising his culpable intention ; but at the same instant a young man struck , with a heavy stick , a violent blow upon the back of ¦ _Abbfe . Rouge , who immediately fell on the ground . The Abb 6 got up and ran away , but soon afterwards was further ill-treabod by several other men ; and it was only with great difficulty , and through _theprotcction afforded liim by a great number of his friends , that he succeeded iii gaining the hotel he lodged at . Sonic moments after a crowd of his partisans walked throug h thc streets of the town , and threw stones at the windows of the houses thev thought to be inhabited by Roman Catholics . The police put all their agents on foot _tocappease the
tumult , but their efforts were useless ; the rioters breathed only rage and vengeance . The military were called out , some detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared , and after having ordered the rebels to retire , whicli was not obeyed , the troops charged them , and blood flowed in abundance . The German Catholics went in crowds to the Rue do la Digue , where dwelt tlio salesman who had endeavoured to thrown stone at Abbe * Ronge ; they barricaded themselves in this narrow street , and demolished from top to bottom thehouse of this individual . It was only then they separated , and thai tranquillity was re established in Ualberstiidt . The number of the kilicd and wounded is not at present known ; that of thc persons arrested is upwards of 150 . The Royal Court of Magdeburg has instituted an inquiry into the affair , and will judge it when thc inquiry has terminated "
( From the Journal des Debats of Monday . ) The letters we have received from Leipsic , dated the 13 th of this month , bring us accounts which are not without gravity . Public tranquillity has , say tliese letters , been seriously and unexpectedly troubled in this rich and populous city , the centre ol the commerce of Germany . The population ol Leipsic , that had shown already great synioathies for the new German Catholic Church , of wliich , as is well known , the Abbe Ronge is thc founder and chief , took advantage of a review of the Rural Guards to make a violent manifestation , which led to deplorable tumults . His Royal Highness l ) uke John , only brother of thc King of Saxony , Commandant-General of thc Rural Guards of the
_Kingdom , arrived at Leipsic on the 12 th inst . to inspect this militia . The prince is , it is said , a zealous Catholic , and passes for having contributed , in the Council of Ministers , to tlie measures taken against the proselytes of the AbH Ronge in Saxony , who has been prohibited to open churches , or to eotobrate _Eublicly divino service . When tho Princo presented imsclf before tho Rural Guard , thc commanding officer , according to usage , cried tho first , " Prince John for ever ! " ( Vive le Prince Jean ) . Tho cry waa received by a general murmur ; nevertheless , no otlier manifestation troubled tlw review . It was when the troops filed off that symptoms of violent animosity brokeout against tho person of tho Prince in the ranks ofthe militia , and among thc population
assembled on tho spot . The Commandant having repeated thc cry , " Vive le Prince Jean ) " there arose _fvomau parts confused cries of " Rongo for ever !" " Down with thc Jesuits ' . " " Down with thc hypocrites 1 " The Prince after the review went to the Hotel of Prussia , and was followed by thc whole population , who did notecase to repeat the erics of " Down with the Jesuits ! " " Ronge for ever ! " The guard of honour of thc Princo used their efforts to maintain order , and to clear thc square , but they were forced back by thc muss of tho population that invaded all tho adjacent streets . The Prince then gave orders to a battalion of infantry of the lino to take up tlieir position before his hotel . During this time the _population continued
their turbiileit manifestations , and sang first the celebrated chorus of Luther , " Einc festcburg ist unset Goth" ( Our God is a fortress ) , and afterwards a strophe of a song from the Brigands of Schiller , " Ein frcies leben fuhren wir" ( Wc _' lcail a free and charming life ) . The population , growing more ami more excited , began to throw stones at thc windows of the apartments inhabited by the Prince , and broke several of them . Tiie Commander of thc troops ( then about half-past ten in thc evening ) , not Imriiig been able to disperse the population , gave orders to fire upon thepeople . It is asserted that this discharge took place without any previous notice having been given to thc people , or that it was given in such a manner as not to be heard but by those neare st thc troop . Thc bullets , in fact , struck , in particular , inoffensive persons , who stood at some distance from thc scene of disorder , on thc parade in front of the
hotel . The number of the wounded has been estimated at thirty , seven of whom have already died . Among the latter was a Government officer , a pohce agent , and the father of a family , standing at the time before his door , inquiring what was thc cause oi the tumult . This event has exasperated the population ; and , to prevent more serious consequences , the authorities assembled together the Rural Guards , I who succeeded at about two o ' clock in thc morning in dispersing the crowds . The Prince quitted Leipsic in the morning , but was again hissed by the populace in the streets he passed through , and stones were also thrown at his coach . The troop is ordered to thc barracks , and the authorities have sent for- a battalion of infantry to reinforce the garrison . This battalion was received by the hisses of the populace , who manifested the greatest animositv against the troop . The Municipal , Council has ordered the se * _rercst measures for the maintenance of Qr « _VrA

the military . Yesterday Prince John came hero to review our Civic Guard . He had already been very cpolly -received at Chemnitz , and even here opinion wasearJy put forth against him . The reason of this was understood to be the report circulated respecting his reserve and reluctance to the establishment of the _iperman Catholic community , which , probably , was the more readily adopted on account of tho _dhsatis-Mctioii which his conduct in the late Diet had occasioned . He haS SCn (; ] , ; g 0 H > _^ to _rttIotIier tinivcrr ' \ T & ste IV » cI * is by no means liked here ; and , bnally , an unfavourable influence is ascribed to him as to the ministry of worship . The opinion herebv prouueed was made manifest yesterday noon , on the exercise ground , by repeated _Iuizhis for Uonge , nnd m spite ot calls made bv tho Commftmhvntihaac .
scarcely fifty voices gave _vivdts for the Princo . Many arrests speedily followed . ¦ Th ough the excitement was very great , people did not suppose that the worst was yet to come . About nine o ' clock a great multitude assembled in Wnr-horse-place , in front of the Prussian '' -Hotel , whero tlio Prince usually . alight * . Tim tattoo was loudly beat , and the people as loudly expressed their . opinions .. Tho crowd in front of the hotel , on the appearance of the Prince at the balcony , gave three louil shouts for Uonge , and the favourite songs of the Catholic reformers were sung . . The attitude of the mob was extremely vehement . Tlie tumult continued , and all the windows in the Prince ' s hotel were broken . The party of military here , amounting to only 200 men , were brought out at ten o ' clock . When they came to _War-horac-placc , the
squwe was speedil _y cleared ; bnt tlio masses contin _^ _od in the adjoining streets . The people began to separate '; but , though tliey were thrice summoned to disperse by the military , tho dispersion could not very speedily take place . Five rounds of musketry were fired , when nine were killed , and ten severely wounded , besides numbers who were slightly . by the cross firing from the hotel . The commandant was C ' _oloiierSii-iinilch . 'Persons ' attracted to the spot by curiosity suffered most while they were endeavouring to disperse . The promenading places wero now pretty quiet . The excitement , however , was not suppressed , but rather strengthened . The massft collected themselves in the city and on the promenades about War-horse-place . The cries of " rage were rightful . ' At last the Prince ordered the Civic
Guard to be called out ; aiid at half-past eleven tin " appel" was beat . Had this been done nt first , the tumult would have been kept down , and wc should not have had so many human lives to lament . The Civic Guard had now to disperse thc multitude ; but they would only do it on the condition that the military should be withdrawn . This was not conceded , und thereforo the whole of their commanders left theii posts and went homo . The masses were now left to disperse themselves as they iiked . The employment of fire-arms was not resorted to where only mere tumultuous movements occurred . Late in the night , and even till half-past two in the morning , the complete dispersion had not taken place . However , the people then went away in order that they might return as early as six o ' clock . At six o ' clock the Prince left his hotel , and went to the post station . He was followed by hisses , rough music , and continued erica ' of "Be off ' , bo off . " The wave-like movements of the multitude continued in all parts of
the town until this moment- ( nine o ' clock in thc morning ) . It is not possible to give a correct picture ofthe frightful excitement which had seized upon the niinds of all men . No one ventured , or knew how it was possible , to make any defence for what had happened , and violent speeches were heard on every side , loudly uttered without any fear . It may , be easily conceived that the person of the Princo and his hitherto proceedings were not at all spared . Tlie people spoke to each other of the steps which they thought necessary , nnd wliich they felt it to be their duty not to neglect . This day a meeting of students is to take place before twelve o ' clock . There is every reason to fear what may occur this evening , for artillery is already brought from Dresden . Among the dead are two students , two police officers , and , according to report ,-Dr . ' lir—— , professor of medicine , and a number of well-known respectable , citizens . We just learn that the students , armed with cudgels , are assembling , and that the outer gate of the city is occupied by a strong division of the Civic Guard . "
Later Accounts . —The Journal des Debats publishcsaccountsfrqtn Leipsic ofthe 16 thinst . The students had continued to perforin duty until that day , when they were relieved by the City Guards . The troops were still confined to their barracks . On tho 15 th thirty individuals who had hooted the soldiers were arrested . Two Government Commissioners were expected at Leipsic to commence an inquiry . One of the persons killed on the 12 th had not been interred on the 15 th , his family -having lodged , a complaint , and demanded a post mortem examination . Tlie tribunal , however , had rejected thc demand , on tho plea that thc soldiers had acted in virtue of superior orders , j It was said that Messrs . Ronge and Czerski hnd been directed to confine their preaching to the districts in which they respectively resided .
THE OVERLAND CALCUTTA MAIL . Papers and letters have been _rccsived by express in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta . The dates are Calcutta , July 3 * , Madras , July 10 ; Bombay , July 3 ; Alexandria , Aug . 8 ; and Malta , Aug . 12 . There is nothing new from the _Punjaub lately . The Sikhs have been tolerably quiet , partly under the influence of a most fearful outbreak of cholera , whicli has cut them down faster than they ever cut down each other , and partly because , for the present , thc army ' s " occupation ' sgone ; " there beinf * noboily with whom it can fight except Peshora Singh , whom it does not choose to meddle with , and the British , whom it thinks best to let alone . Peshora Singh is in ' open rebellion against the power of the Wuzeer _,
whom lie wishes to depose , and being as much in fa vour with the troops as Juwahir Singh is in disgrace with thciu , will probably effect his purpose . Tlio cholera at Lahore is disappearing fast , after carrying off some 25 , 000 or 30 , 000 people in the city and neighbourhood . Thc disease has , however , crossed the Sntlej and appeared at _Ferozeporc ; but it would appear with diminished virulence . The common cholera has been destructive enough here , tiU checked by tho rains , which have now regularly set in \ aud to _iuvvc a visit from a disorder , which in Lahore destroyed hundreds in a day , Tould bo terrible indeed . A native , paper reports a most hornuie case of dacoity . or gang robbery , in a district near Calcutta .
A band of dacoits attacked and entered the houso of a Brahmin , whoso family comprised au unusual number of women . These onthe attack retired to a room , locked themselves in , and from the inside parleyed with the robbers / offering them all their jewels and ornaments if they might be spared from insult or injury . Tho ruffians , however , broke into tho room , and proceeded to divest thc poor women of their ornaments and clothes , and—it is alniOBt too monstrous for belief—when thc ring or bangle from tho arm or ancle did not come away easily , they cut off the limb . After mutilating ten or twelve women in this horrible mannor , they retired with their booty . Somo of their victims liave died from their wounds , _itissaid .
A veiy annoying accident occurred near Calcutta lately . A fine suspension-bridge , tho _longost , it is said , in India , just ns it was completed , fell into the water . It was thrown over the _liivioo Kh * .., a creek a few miles up tho river . It was constructed on a new principle , and is described in the " Mechanics ' Magazine" for October last . Its fall is not , however , attributed to anyihing radically wrong in its principle or construction , but to an " error of judgment " in its constructor , an officer of thc Bengal engineers , while making some alteration in some part of it . Nobody was hurt b y the fall of the bridge , as the only person upon it was a boy , who , when he saw it was going , __ leaped from it into the water . I never saw the bridge , but to judge from a pictorial elevation of it , I should say that the suspension chains , or roils , form too acute an angle with thc road-way . The centre of thc bridgo and tho point of suspension form . an angle of only about 15 degrees , and the spams 250 feet . There is nothing new from China .

ANOTHER AWFUL _OATASTBOPiiS ! TlinCUOII " GOOD _KEOt _* J . ATIO . v" . Tlic Times of Saturday has the following short announcement : — I" niOHTFUIi Colmkky Accibiixr . — _Newcastlc-on-Tyne , Thursday . —This afternoon our district _wiisstiu-t ' cd by the announcement ofa colliery accident of the most appalling description at Javrow Colliery , on the Durham side of the Tyuc . On proceeding to the spot , wc learned that about halfpast four o'clock this afternoon _tu \ explosion of fire-damp occurred in the lower scam of the
pit . Tho effect was terrific . Nearly one hundred men were in tho pit at the time and onehalf of them being near the pit ' s month readily escaped ; 35 were in the lower scam , and these , it is certain , met with instantaneous death , and no attempt can be made to recover their bodies for several days . Other 1-1 , ft is ascertained , were in a part of the pit where the explosion must have been equally fatal ; and of these , three have been brought to the - month of the pit . Several attempts have been made to descend the pit , one of which has resulted in the death ofanundcr-hewer belonging to the colliery .
DREADFUL DISASTER KEAR ROUEN , A frightful event occurred on Tuosiluy to fill all our district with consternation . A hither violent storm had broken over ltouen about noon , the ruin had _fulh-n in abundance , and some claps of tlmmlev were heard ; but there was nothing to presage the horrible disaster whieh Iv . is desolated one of the v ' uthestand most industrious portions of thu arroiidisseiiieut . About halt-past twelve a furious whirlwind arose iu the valley beyond Deville , commencing at the lloulme . It first curried away ii part of the roof of the fueto .-y of 11 . ltoull _" , then , _gniniug force as it ptocecdeil _, it overthrew several small buildings , broke down trees and hedges , and destroyed crops , rnrthtr off buildings were unroofed , and others were literally crushed in . The scourge moving with the speed of lightninj ; ,
carried to a distance some parts of the ruins , then uprooted the _liighest ami largest trees , and at last struck three of the principal factories of the valley . The destruction is so complete , that the imagination cannot conceive it . They have been literally reduced to crumbs . Of the three establishments which . hare been destroyed , one is the commune of AIttl . iun . iy- —viz ., tbat of M . Uailleul , and whieh was carried on by Jl . Keveu ; die two others were situated near Monville—viz ., those of AI Picquot and AI . Ware . At Al . _Xvvcn ' s WO persons wero at work ; thc roof fell in , nnd the walls gave way before any person could escape . At Al . Mare ' s the num . bor of hands at work wns 70 ; the calamity was not less sudden and complete . At 51 . _l'iequot ' s the number of persons at work was not less than 180 . Tlio roof being
first carried away , al ! those within rushed to '¦ the doors , aud they became so crowded that only u few comparatively could get out . This factory was finished scarcely a year ago , and the proprietor wns blamed for erecting it in a more solid manner than any of the others of the valley . Thc cliimiwy , whieh was one hundred and fifty feot high , fall down to within _n few yards of tha ground , and was thrown across tho river . Tha third floor , cut off with wonderful precision , was also carried into the water . The two other stories next gave way , and at last the ground-floor was so completely demolished that scarcely two bricks remained in tlieir places . All this was accomplished in less than two minutes ; people from all parts hurried to render assistance ; all the manufactories und workshops in tlie neighbourhood sent out their
men , who nt onco began to clear out the ruins to save those under them who might be yet alive . ! f othii . g can equal the scene presented at tho tlu-ee principal theatres ofthis vast disaster . _Miichincry-luoms and bars of iron were fractured , and enormous pieces of timber were broken as if they were mere straws , and all lying together in one confused mass . Fragments of clothing were seen among flocks of cotton wool with arms and legs protruding from the heap -, pieces of llesh were ndhering to the irons , and many parts were dyed with blood . Sow and then deep groans wove heard ; some men and children , preserved as if it were miraculously by an overhanging beam , were taken out uninjured , but uiorefrequently some severed limb or dead corpse , or a body so mutilated that death would have beenprefcniblo to thc torture it endured .
At the guard-house at Afonville were placed all the bodies taken out oftlie factory of AI . Picquot . Wc have seen seventeen . Two were tliose of young girls , one that of a woman , and the rest of men and boys . Among tliese last several bad been taken out ofthe river , into which they had been precipitated from tho third floor . Some were entirely crushed , others hud their heads and chests driven flat , and some had tlieir heads completely severed . Need it be said that the spectacle was most horrible . When we withdrew from tlie seat of the catastrophe , at ten at night , we found at At . Pioquol ' s house twenty-five dead aud more than fifty wounded , part ofirlioin could not be expected tolive through the night , it was believed that there were ten moro victims still under theruins . Out of tliree foremen , one was killed , the two others saved alive , but severely injured . The loss in money is estimated at
_l 20 , 0 ( M ) f . At Al . Xeveu _' s there were nine kilicd and fifteen wounded , but bow many remained under the ruins was not known . His loss is estimated at 25 t ) , 000 f . At Al . . Marc ' s there were six dead and a great number wounded . His loss is put down at _riu _. OOuf . In all forty dead and 100 wounded—many of these last mortally . Thc aggregate loss is computed to amount to Ci'O _. OOOf . ' for tliese three establishnients only . The effects of thc hurricane extended upwards of a league and a half . The communes which have chiefly suffered by it are he lloulme , Malaunay , _Alonville , Eslette , Clcres , and Ancoaumvillc . At Anceaumevillc the buildings of njwoperty belonging to AI . Daniel have been blown down and the trees uprooted , awd also a number of sheep and eows belonging to M . Caron were _ki'de .

I _' _-jsTntx-rivK _1 _' h . eat Liverpool—[ Prom the second edition of the Liverpool _llereury of Friday . ]—Just as we were going to press last _ni-j-nr , word reached the fire _poliee station that the _sugar-ivarehouse and premises of Messrs . Parry and Lightfoot , _Elleuborough-sireet , were on fire . Jir . Hewitt , with his usual promptitude , immediately dispatched several _engines , water-carts , and a . _lare-e number of the tire brigade , hy the time tliey had _i-t-. i < _.-hed the scene of destruction , ' which was about half _, past ten o ' clock , the lire had made considerable progress _, having completely destroyed the upper story , and was rapidly proceeding through the roof . Shortly after eleven o ' clock the roof of tl * . e sugar house fell il ) , and the total destruction of tlte building _sccuuid inevitable . The scene at this period was most
distressing , the premises being situated in a denselypopulated neighbourhood , and in thc midst ofthe poorest inhabitants . A general move was made on the part ol the inmates of various dwellings around . to move their furniture and goods , and what with the hurry and hustle of the poor creatures , who were rushing to and fro , in a state of frenzy aud desperation , and the crying and screaming of the women anil children , the scene can better bft imagined than portrayed . In spite of alt remonstrances the _jioor unfortunate people could not be prevailed upon . t _\> -Allow iheir goods to remain in the dxwllings , in consequence of which many of them lost portions of their furniture aud other avtieles . About a quarter to 12 o ' clock tho lire had reached its utmost limits in Ellenborough-street ,
but nu sooner had the flames been got welt under in this part of the premises , than it was jliscuveied that the warehouse adjoining , fronting Wellington-street , had caught , two of the _ujiper stories of which were ascertained to be completely on _thv . Tlte rooms being partly empty , assisted _mnti-rially the progress of the flames , and the fire spread rapidly fur sonic time . The warehouse , which is six stories high , was filled in the lower rooms with cotton and molasses . The fout th story was soon emptied of its contents , as were the rest , to admit of room for the firebrigade to act , and iu about an hour aud a half from the time ofthe discovery ihe flames were gut under to so great an extent -as to place all apprehensions of the further destruction of property beyond doubt .
