Abeut fifty flags , spread their linea to the breeze ^ and three exoelleat bands of music caused the woods to re-echo their notes ; pipers , drummers , and fifen were here and there at the head ef their different detachments . We noticed one band of neat , trig fellows with Glengarry caps and tartan coats , giving them the appearance as if they came from the hill country , but we understand they came from the neighbouring town of Auchtermuchty . At the sound of the bugle , the proceedings commenced at about half , pact three , frem a hustings erected on the akirts of a
wood . And en the right was romantic novelty , as well as a great moral picture ; from 8000 to 10 , 000 of the unenfranchised met to delare their sentiments as to that exclusive system of government which has been allowed too long a place in the constitution ef our country . "We understand the county seperintendent of what Mr . Richardson calls Little Lord John ' s body-guard of bine devils , was in attendance taking notes ; and he it said to have estimated the number at seven hundred ! The various speakers were applauded throughout their addresses :
and , after giving three cheers fer Messrs . Bussey , Richardson , and Collins , and three to thoee masters whobad given their work people the liberty of being present this day , and various other cheers , this large meeting very quickly and peaceably dispersed , after a sederunt of four hours .

WALES . Glorious Demonstration in Wales . — Aberdark , Glamorganshire . —A very large meeting of the working people of Aberdare , Glamorganshire and its neighbourhood took place on Monday last . The meeting was called for the purpose of takisg into consideration the propriety of sending a petition to her Majesty , to call to her councils men who would do their Wst to get the People ' s Charter passed into a law . The meetiDg was held adjoining a common called Hirwain , and took place at six o ' clock in the evening . It was opened with a prayer . Tbe chairman haviBg briefly stated its purport , called upon a Welsh speaker to address
the assembled multitude . From the limited space which we can afford , it is impoa-ible to give more than a mere outline of the proceedings . The drift of this speaker ' s argument west to prove that the condition of the working people of Great Britain had been getting worse and worse for a great number of yearn ; and , after quoting from the works of Arthur Yoang , the Report of the Poor Law Committee , the prices given for the manufacture of good * at various times , concluded by enfleavouring te show that there was no hope of redress for tbe working classes until they had a voice in the making of the laws . He then moved the adoption by the meeting of a petition for the purpose mentioned abeve . The motion was seconded by another "Welsh speaker , and carried UBanimously . The
next speech , delivered in English , was one of great excellence , combining a good deal of pointed humour with sound information and argument . It was listened to with profeund attention throughout . This me * tiDg will produce fruit in abundance ; and , doubles * , we shall soon see the working people of thi >* place as zealous and as active as their more numerous brethren of Merthyr Tydvil and Dowlais . Go where we will—to the populous city or the lonely hamlet -on the mountain or in the plain , there is but one voice , "The People ' s Charter 1 " " Down with the base , hypocritical , weak and naischieveus Whigs , and up with honest and wise men 1 " Amen ! It was computed that there were from 7 , 000 to 8 , 000 people present , including a great number of the bonnv lasses of Old Cambria .

Impudent Robbery . —On Wednesday afternooa a person very respectabl y dressed , apparently aboat thirty-eight or forty Tears of age , called at the residence of Mr . Elkins , Avenue-road , St . John ' s-weod , and having been informed that that geatleman was not in tewn ,. he requested permission to go into the library in order to write a letter particularly desiring the servant te dispatch it by that evening ' s post to Mr . Elkins , an it was on a subject ef the greatest importance . Having remained in the library upwards of half aa hour , he rang the bell , and ordered a candle te be brought up imme » diately . The maid servant ran down , and returned
with the candle , but , on g » ing into the library , she found that the visitor jiad suddenl y disappeared . Suspecting that she had been duped she went into an adjoining room , andfouud that the geatleman made bis exit through the window across the garden , carrying with him two watohes and a small clock ; a large parcel of books was packed up , but were left behind . Information , of the robbery waa given to the police , but ao clue to the discovery « f the thief could be found .
Awfully Sudden Deaths . —On Saturday , Mr . Brett , of the Three Tuns . AbingtoD , Mr . K . Bridge , carpenter , of Haverhili , and another friend , went from Cambridge market together , and on their way home took ( ome refreshment atthe home ef Mr . Brett , all being in apparently good healtn . On the following Tuesday , Mr . Brett was at work ia his field , and feeling suddenly unwell , be leaned upon a gate .

" But not the least remarkable part of this awful visitation remains to be recorded , Mr Bridge had a brother living in London , t » whom a communication was forwarded the same evesing announcing the afflicting intelligence of hU andden decease . Oh Wednesday rfloTnlng , at the : time that letter would arrive in London , a coramunication was received from the London friends stating that the brother who resided there , had also died suddenly on the preceding day ! Both brothers were buried on die same day .
. Th * Bank of ENOLAND .- ^ On Thursday , the Bank of England raised tbe rate of interest to 5 % per cent , limiting at the same time their advances to bills ef exchange only . This measure has , we believe , been forsome time anticipated by the intelligent part of the commercial world ; for when the exchanges continue long unfavourable , and the gold disappears , the Bank can only save ifuelf by curtailing its issues . The slaughtering system will be in operation without delay ; and when prices have reached the lowest , confidence will be again restored . Tbe < u up * and downs are the accessary result of the monopoly possessed by the Bank of England . The Bank must make money plentiful to obtain profits ; and to save itself , it is forced to ruin others by making money again scarce and throwing down the prices of goods . —Morning Paper .

A respectable party of eighty-two sat down , and were plentifully regaled in true old English style . The ceremony of initiation ww performed with impressive solemnity , and elicited general and unqualified satisfaction . We bail this as an auspicious event in the oauae of humanity and universal philanthropy , and are not too sanguine in saying , if we cannot excel , we will at least endeavour to equal any other Order in the noble principle ! inculcated by Odd Fellowship .

The prosecutrix , an old lady , residing in Sloane-etreet , had been acquainted with the prisoner ' s father , and had taken the prisoner into her house to reside . She imagined that she was entitled to the estates of the Duke of Buckingham , Lord Maccle * field , Lord Shaftesbury , and other noblemen ; she consulted the prisoner on tbe subject , who stated that he would take the advice of Sir John Law , t > f Plumer ' s-buildings , Temple ,
who he said was high legal authority . The prisoner told the prosecutrix shortly afterwards that , having seen Sir John Law , he had given it as his opinion that her el aim was jast to the estate ef the Duke of Buckingham , and that In order to enforce it , it would be requisite to remove the body of her father to the tomb of hia ancestors '; in order to accomplish which object , a faculty mviat be Obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury , which Would cost £ 100 . She immediately ordered her broker to sell this sura which was placed in Mssterman ' s bank , and from thence remitted to Wigney ' a bank in Brighton , for a Mr . Salmon , who- were represented a # being the clerk of Sir John Law . The prisener was found guilty , and sentenced to 15 years transportation ; : -

The averagBnuaiberrf officers in Ae fbree is 3 , 390 IB the seventeen ivisioM , making an average of 196 men thesinaiieft , or A , ooBtainintr 116 . and ..... __ .,
, tbe largest number w the K division h « bg 290 . There are every year reeeived 1 , 100 new memberu ; the number resigning « r discharged being 1 , 99 » . and those who die anHualty being 38 . . Of those admitted twoithirds are of the ages between 20 a » d 31 , ami the remainder from that age to 38 . Being a selected body , the value of life is above the usual average , and the tendency to fail is counteracted by tb » . constant discharge ef the unhealthy . The bodily labour is considerable , each walking on the average 20 miles per day , which , with attendance
at Fioihce Offices , may he estimated as 25 . Out of the 17 districts the most healthy are those of Whitehall , Westminster , and Kensington , and the learn healthy ar » Holborn , Fipsbufy , and Hampstead . Out sf the whole force 2 | per cent , are always sick ; in the least healthy on the average of 12 $ days , and the most healthy 6 | per man . The maximum illness was in Jaauary , and the minimum in June or Jul y , with the exception of eoidemieal seasons , when there is a slight variation . The rate of mortality was proved to be of the same character wgardlng . the months as at the most popular benefit
societies . , Escajpe or a Convict . —On Taesday merniag , a convict of the name ef James Hyde , made his escape at the breakfast hour . The seeond battalien ot the Rifles , quartered at Vtbblwich , were out scouring the woods , &c , in the neighhouihood , and a sharp look out kept up the whole of the night by the police and the military , but without effect . This affair has created much interest , as it is rare indeed for the active vigilance of the military and police to be so successfully eluded . On Monday , another convkt attempted to make his escape from the oonviet ship at the Woolwich Dock-yardby the
, following ingenious method : —Having clapped a reel basket over hie bead , he found means to slip over tbe side of the ship , and would , doubtless , have escaped unobserTed . had not the attention of the guards been directed to the extraordinary circumstance of seeing a ' "baskjet ^ floating against the tide . This naturally induced inquiry ' as to" the ^ cawe of thu phenemeHeu , when the circumstances of the escape were disclosed by one of the conviot * who had witnessed the transaction . A boat waairamediatol y mattned in pursuit , ' and the lackless inventor of this novel mode of navigation was recaptured , and again cenreyed to durance vile . .
Quackkbt , —; Deddingtoa and its neighbourhood have . for some months past been infested b y a fellow calling himself Dr . Lyon , who first obtained notice by making presents to tbe invalid poor of the place , Hot of the far-famed Solamon ' s Balm of Gilead , but of a name more appropriate for his deception , termed "Dr . Lyon ' s patent Damascus medicine , " a sure oure for every disorder incident to human nature . In some instances , when employed by a portion of tbe more respectable part of the inhabitants , a moat extravagant bill followed : however , finding the celebrated Damascus fail , and not readily sought after at any price , we are sorry to state he imposed en several respectable tradesmen of this
place , and more particularly at Banbury , by running up bills to a large amount , obtaining jewellery and other articles at the latter place . Under the pretence and expectation of being married to a young lady of considerable personal attractions and fortune , residing at a village not far hence , he had given orders for a new gig , harness , &c . for the wedding , which fortunately were not delivered . Lyon made his escape last week , early in the morning , taking every portable article with hitn leaving minvM sundry tradesmen ' s bills , rent , servant girl ' s wage * , &c . We understand he has been heard of in
the vicinity of Newcastle-on-Tyne , and is now locating with a wife and daughter there ; which place we hope will not be his residence for any length of time , as some of bis friends are bow on the road to pay him a virit . Every benest man will desire that they nay find him ; but even then the law will , we fear , gi ve them very little ehance of compelling him to make restitution . We understand that application wm made to the magistrates for a warrant to apprehend him , but after an inquiry into the cireutnsUnoes of the case , they did not feel justified in granting H . ¦ f
¥ teb at FnoME ;—On Tuesday morning week , the large clothing factory , at'Lullingun , occupied by Mr . Porter , ef Frome , was discovered to be on fire . Owing to the distance from Fron > e for obtaining fire-engines , and there being but few persons on , the spot to render assistance , the factory and house adjoining were entirely destroyed •„ very little «{ the wool ^ yafMi " raBchiHeryy clothy- er-othei-pio perry on the premises could , be saved , the loss of which amounts to several thousand pounds , Mr . Perter not being insured to ene-third ihe amount .
The premises are » aid to have been insured by the owner to their full value . Much praise is due to th « M who : assisted at the fire , and especially to one of the workmen , who , whilst his own property was burning in hia dwelling , exerted himself to very great hazard of his life , aud succeeded in securing from destruction a considerable part of what was saved . The melancholy catastrophe will be the cause of throwing a considerable number out of employment . It is not ascertained how the fire originated , butit is conjectured to have been the effect of lightning , which was very vivid on that night .
Sunday Duelling . —On Sunday week , adael w « fought at Presibury Park , between Colonel Charrite and Mr . Sanguinetti ; Cap * . Bishop and Mr . Cridlaun acting as seconds * The quarrel originated , it is understood , at the billiard table . Colonel Charrite fired his pistol in the air , while Mr . Sanguinetti fired at his adversary , but without effect . Both heroes left the field with their " honour" and their skins entire . To mention the considerations of morality or religfo . i in connection with
such persons as these were a mere farce j but we did not believe that the town of Cheltenham containeifour individuals who could have offered such an affront to common decency . It is a grots insult on the feelings of the public of Cheltenham . We heard of the oircumstance previously to our publication of last week ; but took no notice of it , not believing it possible tbat any gentleman would so far disgrace himself . Cheltenham Chronicle . [ What mighty difference is there between murder on a Sunday and murder on a Satnrday ?]
Brighton . —At a meeting of . the journeymen cordwainere of this town , held on Monday , it was unanimously resolved to transmit to the-Secretary of the Journeymen Bookbinders Society , through the ' handa of the Editor of the Charter newspaper , £ he sum of £ 2 ., as a gift , to assist them in carrying put their determination , as expressed in a resolution of Mr . CaWert at . a ., ' meeting held in Theobald B ^ ftd , and published in the Charter paper of Sunday ., The . meeting at the same tis « expressed nauch gtartftcation at seeing the . determination of the binder * tto adopt the last and perhaps the most sure way of defeating the objects of a portion of
that class whose meanness and dishonesty can scarfiely be equalled . It was truly stated that the enormous sum of nearl y £ 7 , 000 ., spent in th * two a 8 t strikes ; viz , the City of London Boot and Shoemakers , and > u the present one of the- Bookbinders , would have been , if judiciously applied , BuSk-ieat to make tbe whole of those thrown « at of employment independent , of the profit-monger , besides the leesoh it would , have taught such men as those the bookbinders have to contend with . They , therefore , loudly called on those trade societies that have , like themselves , kept back till the eleventh hour , to come forward and assist in the undertaking .

After bearing up with astonishing fortitude and resolution against the unparalleled persecution to which she has been . exposed , the powers- of her constitution have , we > understand , at length given away . This unfortunate lady is , we fear ,, sinking rapidly to . the grave , an innocent victim , in the flower of her days , to female indelicacy , intrigue , and malignity , exhibited , without rebuke , in a sphere where they may be expected to produce future and still more appalling calamities . —Morning Post .

It appeared that the ceurtahip or engagement between the parties continued for twelve years , when Mr , Luxmore married a ?» ung lady : Miss Irwin being then forty-three , and his own age forty-six . On the same day , a verdict with 40 s . damages , was the result of a trial in which a Mr , Gibbs was plaintiff and Lord A . Beauclesk defendant . Lord A . Beauclerk had committed adultery with Mrs . Gibbs , not being aware that she was married ; amd under the » e circumstances ,, the husbaad was content with nemiual damages .

By tbe time the fire was discovered the artielea were in a burning state . Engines from the stations in Wellclose-equare , as well as those belonging to the parish of Mile-Mui were quickly brought into play , and the fire Ins confined to Mr . Bedbeek ' s premises , which ha ^ sustained very great damage . Fortunately the property is insured to a sufficient extent to cover the loss . It appears that the fire arose from the carelessness of an erraod-boy , who in the course ef the morning had left a candle burning amongst some straw .
Cotton-Smknkrs . —The Cotton-Spinners » Messrs .

This , we are informed they have agreed to take , and the work commenced full time yesterday . We are told this is the third deduction that the depressed state of trade has compelled the masters to propose , and the men to submit to . Some differences arising out of the reduction are likely to lead to a dispute between die spinners and the piecers . —Glasgow Courier .
