( Hear , and cLeers . ) Sir , when I see the conduct of those in power—when I look around me and turn to the ccaduct of these who reside arr . 0 Egst us—when I reflect rpen the proceedings of the opprc sscrs of the poor , end see thim riding in their carriages and Trjdlo'Kirg in their ill-gotten luxuries , xrrnrg out of the sufferings and ihe wee ? ef the working peopleand Khen I consider thtt the ^ e persons Iooi upon jon as the very o&roDiingg of tie earth—( loud cries cf ehsme;—you who hare ^ produced their wealth , jon who receive such treatment from them—then 1 say there is indeed reasca for simBltarecus mertiiigs
of tits people throughout the kingdom , ( urea ; spplanse . ) It will be well remeabered that about seven years ago , the people _ of this great empire fought a great " battle , and victoriously—for what ? . For the Reform Bill , aye , S 3 hard as yon are now fightiDgibr the Charter . ( Hear . ) Then you mere Backed by whom ? By those who hare now deserted yon . Bat since that time , the condition of tbe working classes has been materially worsened by the EscccdancT of a faction , -who told you at that time fbattcey were the friends of tbe working clafgfs—( hear)—and whom you raised to the pinnada of arabiuon upon which they rested . I was going to say now rest . ( "Down with 'em . " ) They have , lowerer , been , tamed out of office . When you a < k for your rights by a fair share in the Iranctise , they turn round upon vouand tell yon
ifet yen are too low , too peer , too ignorant to bare jcur rights yielded ;—( shame ;)—but whether yen will submit to what they hfce to impose upon you Tfsts solely with , yourselves . ( Hear . ) I was Tery glad that 1 obtained my object at the Court-room on Thursday . A little explanation may perhaps be necessary . On that eTening I was deputed by the meeting at tbe Stanley Arms to ask permission from the enttorities to adjourn to a more eppu and canrenient place where we . conld peaceably , manly , and orderly conduct our business . The answer was thatthe meeting was not legal ; when a certain young gentleman , whom I mentioned at the meeting on There day night , and . who generally controls the Becci , the Corporation and the like , took me op . ( Laughter and near . ) T answered as far as they allowed me in the presence of the hundreds of
constables then assembled , and what ' s more , the majority ef them were our friend * . Well . 1 tell you I argued the Question as well as they wonldaUoff me ; at last , be says if "Mitchell continues to reply as lie dees I shall be nnder tbe necessity of fetching a constable . " ( Laughter and hear . ) A poor inditiiatl like me , insignificant perhaps in appearance , -who works in a factory from Monday ssoming till Saturday night , and because I wound him up so tight that be could not turn himself any other way , —( laughter . )—he says "I will fetch a coEstablef " ( Hear end laughter . ) Here is the Qneen and the Charter ! ( Hurrah . ) I told tbe Bench then my motto was " peace , law , and order , " and I say so cow . I told them our object was peace ; and that there was no necessity for swearipgin the constables , but the individual Eaid , - 'if Mitchell thick * proper to intimidate tbe inhabitants of Stocky ort , ¦ we think proper to call in and swear a sufficient force to suppress any improper proceedings . " I repeated that we intended to keep order and we
iave aihered to it ( Hear ) I say that toes utboritjes have dece mere t o break the peace and cans ? dLiburbsuiceby swearing in the conslaUes and olLw jTCceediiigi ' , than by any meeting we have held tritbin the last twelve months .

( L * ud cries of "Shame , shame- " ) Mr . Ctainnnn ard gentlemen , I find that 1 em occupying your tirre longer than I intended ; but J will i-. ott proceed to render an accouBt of my mission to llaEehester the ether day on the subject of the darter . J was appointed the delegate for Stockport . Delegates from different towns met at the Slitre Tavern , Old Church Yard , for the purpose rf arjeugmg a great meeting to beheld on Kerail Moor on a fortnight to- night . At the meeting there were delf gateu from and four weie
twentv- ? ix districts , twenty- announced to be ready ; and when you hear the petition in which they stand , yon will eas-ily conclude that it will now be difficult to get a Mini « lrjr to act for this country . ( Hear , and cl-eers . ) Manchester cf as j riting two districts , and Htilme wilh £ C 0 ttror g ic the Asfroeiaticn , are in mrh a poriiicn—that they ere prepated to get their rights morally , constitutionally , and legally , if th « y cbp ; lutliave them they will .

Haslingden is ready for anything . ( Cheers . ) Stalybrit ' ge district , \ on know bow Ihey are ; but I must juEtobfeive that there has hern a great fuss about a tow in ttat neighbourhood last Satnrday . The delegate reported tfcat four ycunc men had been p pprrhendcj for drilliug an < i training . JCow , 1 believe that has teen carried on sepcwliere m Stockport ; and let me wirn you sgsicstit ; for 1 undersfaBd that an Act passed in J 819 to do away with Irainine and drilling , and puiisbe 3 parties by
tranqiortaticn or in , pri 50 Dment . AltioBgh jucli an Act does exist against training ard drilling , there is Eolaw to prevent the people frcm arming tl . emfelvef—( hear)—every man has a risbt to arm himself . ( Cheers . ) At Ashton the delfpate stated th ? t bail woe eagerly offered by the middle clatses , who were afraid of the town being burned down . If tie parties ! had not bren bailed , r . nd sn attempt had Seen made to pot the people down , there would not hare been a . vestige of Asnton left the next jEorning—it would hBve been a Leap of asbes . They would not be robbed and treated ss Siorkport has been . ( Hear , hear , and loud oirs of "it ' s not too lafe to mt-nd .

In ISlarkbnin , they say . like Stcckport , they have been duped by the Whigs , with the assistance of a certain cotton lord Bnd preacher—the ChardVts are however improving themselves . There wns a delegate from Nottingham ,
representing Sntfon and Mansfield , who said when he leftheme he expected to find Manchester either in flames or strerming withbloed . ( Cheers . ) Tie people of Kottitgham , throughout the whole country are ready , anii will take very good care torncompas * them all around and prevent any frem quitting or entering the place ( Lear . ) Last of all comes Stock ' port—what shall I call it (" rotten" ) . When I got up to state the condition in which -we were , 1 had to spolegise . Though we wcie once "well supported by friends in Ibis town , they have now become tools and cats paws to tbe Whigs ( Mr . Lumey in the crowd—^ "do yon mean » c ? " ) . > o , I do not . We always had those pretended frieadrf with us hoth in Parliamentary and Municipal elections , sod one of them even went to espouse republicanism ( shame . ) After some remarks about the laxity of pretended friends en the subject of Household Suffrage , and the sufferings of the people through the Poer Law Amendment Bill , be read the rerolution which he afterwards proposed . And so 600
constables have bfen sworn . 9-10 ths of whom happen to bs Chartists . I told Mr . Coppock yesterday , that so far from haviBg any fears of a breach of the peace , I would consent to be sworn in a Special Censtable , asd asied him to do so . He replied " do yon think we are mad ' we are not going to pnt weapons into your bands" ( they have done that already ) . Yes , and we can wield them and without breaking the peace , as they have done . "Ob , " said one of the authorities «• we are right , lei all the other nnftoriries go to the d—1 " ( laughter . ) Kwi them , watch them . I do hope that there is net a working man that will not brccmo a Chartist ; and . when he knows his strength , he will see what he can do with it in dejence of the Charier .

ESTSAbKCINASY E 2 ? EES £ 5 FHOHZ PAIilG . Morning Chronicle Office , Tuesday , ' Three o'Clock . An insurrection or vmtv . le of a serious kind ha ? once more brr . tcn out in the streets of Paris , it was commenced about half-past three on Sunday , by three hundred individuals , who haye succeeded in alarmiDp the capital , causing the illusion ef randi blood , aid ptihaps producing grave political cocseqiienctp . The fullest account will be fouiid in th * extrict from the Mtssoget ; brought us by special courier . Our correspondent vfrittf , that at nine o ' clock he per . etrar . eu to the Halle , from vrhich the insurgent ? had been driveD , and which remained in the poBsessioB of the troepg . The post at tbe Pont EuEtach ^ had been completely gutted , a soldier killedand the mattrewes and furniture thrown into
, the street . The same might he observed of all the other posts . The troops , however , prevented every person from proceeding in the direction of the Hotel de Ville . Wo shots were heard , nor any immediate fighting ; and it appeared that the few insurgent ? bad either dieperstd or shrunk into narrow street * , from which , whether the troops waited till daylight or rot , there was no doubt ef their being driven . The citizens took no part in the distutbance . The National Guard mastered strong ; and although there were reports of tbe 2 ? th Regiment ( lately deprived of its Colonel by a stupid order of the interim "War Minister ) having favoured the insurgents , there seemed no truth in the report . By Monday morning tbe emettie would have evaporated , and all that remains will be its fatal effects on the political state of tbe country . The Liberals will certainly not profit by it .
( From the Mcuager of Sunday Evening . ) Five o'Cxock .- —To-day ( Sunday ) , toward * three o ' clock , abeut £ 00 persons , tbe most part clad in froiis ' a ^ d eppp , pristnted tfeemaelve * at the gunstbj ' of Xepsge / biothers , Eue Bourg l'Abbe , No . 22 . ' Sense of . th « B , Rimed viithhatchet ^ began to break in the door . .. To mate quicker work , the ) destroyed the " masonry , asd got in . They took abont 150 fowling-pitces . They then quitted the boose , and went towards the QnaiB . There they divided into different bodies , three of vfhom proceeded to the military pests at the Hotel de Ville , the Place du Chatciet , and the Palaee of Justice . The posts , surprised , and expecting no such attack , were easily disarmed . The greups which had taken the two last posts then proceeded to the Prefecture
of Polic » , but the gates were ehut , guarded by the municipal police . The insurgents accordingly retreated , united -with the other groups at the Hotel de Ville , and made preparations for defending the post by overturning tw e © mnibuMes . There events took little time . But soon the troops were able to assemble , and by four o ' clock , several bodies of municipal guard * , foot and horse , advanced to the Place de Greve , before the Hotel ie Ville . A detachment of horse municipals issuiHg from the Eue des Arcis first received the fire of the insurgents . The deiaebroent It-t-t the tvro first horsemen by the discharge , and immtdiately turned round to rall y somewhat fuither back . Other detachments , however , arr ived . Firing continued , and at length the insurgents abandoned the Place and the Quai , and retired in tbe direction of tbts Bue St . Avoye .
Such was the situation of affairs at five o clock . The three ds « ar 3 ned posts were shut . The municipal uuard . occupied the Hotel de Ville and the quays between the Pont an Change and the Port au BIw . Great emotion was ef conrse produced .

Denis , Montmartre and St . Martin . Barncaue ! - are formed , onp in tbe Kue St . Denis , near tbe Church of S ^ . Leu ; the other at the corner of the Rue TiPuetonne and Montorgueil . This last was attetied about half-past six by the grenadiers ol Ine third legion of the National Guard , aided by a detachment of the lino . The officer commantMTij . " the post of the Palace of Justice and two soldiers were killed . M . Sedoux , of the third Legion , was killed in the attack of the barricade . Marshal Gerard has taken tbe command of the troops of the garrison . The Chronicle of WedneFday , thus continues the particulars of this mock insurrection as furnished by their correspondent : —
" I can bear witness to the complete indifference of the population , whidi refrained from either joining the insurgents , or resisting and putting them down . BetwteH eight and nine o ' clock I taw a knot of seven or eight insurgents at tbe coiner of the Eue St . Marc , and the Place des Italiens , firiBU down the former street ( these were tkey whoshoi Colonel Pelion ); many passers by joined the group , and Feemed to dissuade them from continuing resistance . But of aboutfifty people looking on , without counting those at the differentporks coc / uns , none seriously interfered or attempted to disarm them ; and finally the seven brigands separated , and escaped with their arms . Similar scents were every where to be remarked . Ai a hani ? . passed through the Eue Moutmartre a youth escaped from their ranks by flinging himself into a house . They ran after him to kill him ; this tbe bystaiidtre prevented , but they neither seized n « r tried to disarm the band of some Eeveoteen individuals ; Tbe National
Guards under arms showed indeed zeal and ceurage , but , on the whole , the general sentiment towards the insurgents was more that of apathy and pity than of indignation . " " As I wrote- you last nipht , by courier , everything promised to wear a quiet appearance by morning , the insurgents having disappeared , if not dispersed ; and up to ten o ' clock quiet seemed bo completely restored , that the military and National Guards , wearied with watching , abandoned their posts in the central and intricate streets of th& citj . It was then that crowds of idleis flocked to view the scene of combat ' : talk arose amongst these crowds , '
and words were followed by net ? , evincing a determination to renew the imeule . Abont eleven o ' clock a band of insurgents attacked the guardhouse at the Marche des Innocent , and at tbe same time endeavoured to form a barricade opposite it . Firing recommenced between them and the few troops left within , when , after a short time , the insurgents retreated with some wounded . This roused the military authorities , the National Guard , and the line : the drums beat , the shops were shut , the military poured to the scene of disorder . The insurgents , who retreated , succeeded in forming another barricade in the old Eue St . Mery , but
could not hold it . Marshal Gerard then ordered the troops to enter the intricate passes ; and at every point where four streets meet , aud where barricades were possible , he made the soldiers occupy the houses , or rather the windows . The same order was executed on the Quays , and in the houses adjoining the Hotel de Ville and the Palace of Justice . I passed through several of the ppotd thus guarded in the Eut Neuve St . Mery , the Eue des Arcie , and the neighbourhood j and it was curious co mark the ill-humour and defiance of the crowd tathered lelow , whilst the soldiers were over their heads . ' From time to time cavalry moved to clear tbe waybut in generalexcept on the quays and
, , the cpeu spaces , the crowd was left to itself . Nay , there were some streets where armed men of the people were still at liberty . It was evident that strict orders had been given to the soldiery to avoid all provocation . Nevertheless there was a great deal of ill humour , and I have no doubt that shots will be fired and blood spilt this evening . But it is alt-o evident that attempts of this kind will be few , futile , and not at all to be compared in importance to what took place yesterday . The crowds at the Hotel Dieu and the Morgue were considerable . There were fourteen bodies in the Morgue . There were from forty to fifty wounded insurgents in the Hotel Dieu .
" The best informpd persons bepin to thiuk that the emcute is a repetition of tbe Vaudrey and Louis Bonaparte affair . It was evidently planned by military men ; and the ignorance of the leading Republican * is said to have been evident . The students ( which is remarkable ) took no part in the affair , and the lectures were frequented on Monday as peaceably as on the previous day . " The Correspondent ol the Morning Herald writes at five o ' clock , one hour later than the above : — The revolt is far from being appeased : one of my emissaries has this moment come in from tbe cloister of St . Mary , in the rue St . Denis ( which is within a . couple of " hundred yards of the place where I am writing ) , and he tells me that ( he firing cimtinuec , and that the artillery is planted at the corner of the street , with the gunners ready to apply the linstock on the appe . TU . nce of the mob .
A rumour gained some degree of credit on the Boerse that telegraphic dispatches had reached Paris , bringing " accounts that Strasbourg and Lyons were in a state of revolt .

A uumb ? r of petitions were presented , afterwards their Lordships adjourned . Wednesday , May 15 . After the prcseuin ; ioH of Petition ? , the House adjourned to the 2 rth .
HOUSE OF COJIMONS .-J / iMMfiw , May 13 . The Liverpool and Manchester Extension lluilway Bill was read a third time and passed . The Bristol and Gloucestershire Railway Bill was read a third time and passed . Numerous petitions en diflerent subjects arid from diflereat places , were presented by several of tlie Members . Lord John Russell having invited Sir Robert Peel to submit to the House those explanations which , the Queen permitted to be made , the Right Hon . Baronet rose under the influence ofdeep emotion , and furnished a suramary of the causes which induced him to abandon the attempt to form au Administration .
Sir ROBERT PEEL declnred that he could not gubmit to bo judgsd , in a matter of this sort , by the spirit of formal precedent . His position was a very peculiar t > ne . The difficulties that lay before him were of no ordinary kind . The affairs of India , of Canada , of Jamaica , of Ireland were of the most complicated character . In taking office , he was called to enter on the administration of the national busiHess , with the aid of a minority in the House of Commons . His predecessors in office resigned , although they had a majority of five . Of the minority which voted with him , on the Jamaica question , tea gentlemen might , in all probability , be found
opposed to him on almost every other question . On the very first question that presented itselfthe election of a speaker—he might be compelled to peril the fate of his administration ; or to dissolve Parliament—an experiment which he felt most anxious to avoid . Surrounded by difficulties as ho felt himself to be , still Sir Robert was not disposed to Ehrink from the responsibilities of office , providing he should be able to prove to tbe country that lie enjoyed her Mnjegty ' s entire confidence . To that end , lie felt it to be above all things indispensable that the ladies holding the most confidential appointments about the person of her Majesty should not be ladies in immediate connexion with
his predecessors in office—tbose predecessors being , at the same time , his bitterest political opponents . Ou this point , Sir Robert , moreover , observed , that in Ireland his chief difficulties lay . How , then , could he expect that the country should believe his Irish policy to possess the approbation of her Majesty , so long as the wife of the late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , and the sister of the late Chief Secretary for Ireland remained in possession of tho most important offices ubout the Queen's person ? A new writ was ordered for Hertford , in the room of Mr . Cowper , appointed Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital . The Houxe adjourned at half-past seven .
Wednesday'May loth . After the transaction of some unimportant business , The SPEAKER took formal leave of the House , and tho House udjnsrm'd to the 27 th . Committees on Private Bills rit daring the recess .

YESTEEDAY'S WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . Our arrivals ere moderate . The " navigation will be closed on Monday for fourteen days , but th <; buyers having : stocked thrmselyes pretty well laM wewie , we have only a thin attendance at market , and sales are very limited without material variation in value . Barley slow , at previous rat ? s . Oats and Shelling steady . Beans as before . Malt is held for more money , and stocks considered very small for the season o " f the year .
Leeds Corn Market . —The supply of wheat , barley , and beans , to this day ' s market are much the same as last week j oatB smaller . Fine fresh English and Foreign wheat has been sold on the same terms as last week , but the secondary and chambered samples have been very heavy sale and rather lower . In barley there has been no alteration in price . Oats , shelling , and beans , have made rather more money . Huddkrsfield Cloth Mahket . —There was rather more Business done in the market of Tuesday lsst than on the previous Tuesday , ' but upon the whole the market might be considered very fiat for the season of the year . Bradford Market . —There is a great degree of du ! ness in all branches nf trade in this market .
Leist Thursday there was very little alteration from the preceding week ' s market . The few sales that were effected were at old prices . The staplers will not ( unless goaded to it by necessity ) sell under the present prices , aa the producers are hard to bargain with . The Yarn market remains stationary ; the sales made were at former prices . ' Muny of the spinners are considerably curtailing thuir pruduetion . The piece juwket was , wft think , a trifly brisker ; but though the demand was a little stronger , prices remained the same . The piece makers are , however , full of confidence that tbe market , ere long , will assume a far more favourable aspect .
Rochdale Flannel Market , May 13 th . — Little business of . any kind has been done in our Market to-day . Buyers seem disposed not to purchase although at a ruinous price lo the manufacturer . If there be not a speedy alteration in the demand for our goods shortly , we may exneot to see misery and wretchedness stalking about our BtreelB like a pestilence . The dullness of our WooHrade renders the Staplers not so tenacious to their late prices . If a good customer offer himself ) no doubt a small reduction would be taken . Howden Corn Market , May 11 .
