MANCHESTER u BLOODIES" AGAIN ! THE ¦ WOULD GOES OS ! TO THE EDITOE OF THE NOKTHER > ' STAB . DBAS . Sir , I yesterday saw placards , announcing that Mi . Gibson mmld address the electors of Xo . 1 District , and not baring bad the bononr of seeing hia < m bis former TMt to Manchester . . aJtboogn I offered to find a room capable of holding 500 persona , at . least in which , bad he c onsented to occupy it , I should have loth seen and heard him . This offer , however , was defined , and the building in Nicholas Croft was used , no doubt for some prudent motive , instead ^ I resolved to bear him on Monday eTcning . although I had an e special duty to perform , and put questions to him for my guidance—supposing that an election is likely
« oon to take place . It was betwixt nine and ten o'clock in the eYening when I left home . I walked a , T quickly as possible , by myself , and expected to meet him in tbe Committee-room , at the Cotton Tree . When , howerer , I got in sight of the place , 1 beheld & crowd extending nearly across the street ,, and some one speaking . I made my way up to within about two yards of the gentleman , and asked a man in front of me , in a low Toice , who i t was , and he answered , Mr . Gibson . Ee was then concluding his speech . After which Mr . Walker , magistrate , got upon the chair , and addressed the people , in doing which he exhorted them to-do their duty as before , and return Mr . Gibson by a tri-• nmpbant majority aa a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament , and asked if any one ¦ wished
to pot any questions to Mr . Gibson , aa he was about to retire . Instantly a man in the crowd asked how far Mr . G . ¦ w ould extend the suffrage , and his rtp ' . y was , ( after a short consultation with Mr . Walker and other fri ends , ) that it was a question upon which he had- n * t made np his mind exactly how ta to go , wbit-er \» stop at household or to give to such as might be . only lodger * ,- but he would promise that if any measure should be brought in to extend it , he would give it hu consideration , and if it met with his view it sbon'd hare his support Any other question was then c ^ led for by Mr . Walker . I then said , as the answer to the question did not satisfy me , allow me to put it . in another form . " If you should be returned as member for Manchester , and if I as an elector were to send yon a petition for Universal Suffrage , would you
support its prayer , and bring in a motion to that effect ?" He said he would pre&ent the petition , but would not promise to support it Here the Whig confusion began by groans , yells , and down with the Tory , < fcc 4 : c . I told Mr . Walker thai I was sorry to find myself in such bad company , and being apprehensive of personal Tiolence , I claimed and insisted upon his magisterial protection . He , in rep ! y , said there was no danger . " * 1 told him that from what had t-vken place at the -Town Hall , and the bloody assault in Stephenson ' s-square , June 2 nd , and Carpenter ' s Hall , June 5 th , I bad good res son to believe there was danger . I took hold of hu arm and solicited his aid through the crowd . We got across the street but still were surrounded by the Irishmen ; I said I was not safe , and here some of the police came up to us . I solicited their assistance which they readily rendered .
I wish thus publicly to acknowledge the kindness of Mr . Walker in particular , and also the officers of the police , as wall as the friendB of all who accompanied me home perfectly safe . Mr . Walker in taking leave of me at the gates , said if I would join them in their attempt to repeal the Corn Laws , I &hould not require their protection . I told him I was much obliged to him for his advice , bnt that as I was of a ^ e , I should think , judge , and act for myself . I am extremely sorry that some of my friends bad their faces bruised ^ and heads broken in their desire to protect me , and hope they will no : blame me for i t I remain , Sir , Tours , truly and respectfully , James Schofield . Every-street , Manchester .

MEETING IN TIB-STREET ROOMS , MANCHESTER , ON SATURDAY , AFTER THE
BUTCHERY . The people who had gone to the Hall , and others who -were keeping a sharp look out , during all these proceedings , assembled in the Tib-street room , until it was so crammed that it would contain no more . A young man from the country was called to the chair . He opened the proceedings by denouncing the tyrannical and brutal proceedings of the Irishmen , and also the authorities for not protecting the inhabitants of Manchester , while they were holding a peaoeable meeting . He then called upon Mr . Hansefield , -of Stockport , who , in addressing ihe meeting , was equally as severe in denunciation as the chairman . Mr . Griffin next rose to address the meeting , and was received with a burst of cheers . fJesaid that a mark of respect had been paid to 3 J ~ ¦* i- i v- thanked them . Thev knew he
the Star . ( UUtta ? - Bat It W&Wmsmmi&m aroondj jifc . claimed their att « rfS » a ; -t « ttocaaBene , like themselves , was a slave , and because he was an inhabitant of Manchester , and what had been wrongfully termed a free-born' Englishman . ( Cheers . ) And , lastly , because when the iron hand of despotism , which had been put into opeiation that day , made encroachments npon their rights and liberties , he being one of the same c'asss , those encroachments were made upon his rights also . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Grifin proceeded to make a comparison between the conduct of the Whigs in Stephenson ' s-square , on Wednesday , and that of the Chartists , the former pretending to denounce " physical force" while they committed such barbarities ,
whilst the latter were put into gaol for doing nothing in comparison with it . He also commented , in bold and forcible terms , upon the conduct of Sir Charles Shaw , and the police , on the same occasion , and proved that the Whigs conld hold an oat-door meeting and ha * e protection , while the Chartists could Dot have an in-door one , without having the bludgeon-men , the magistrates , the police , and if necessary , theEoldiers against them . ( Hear , hear . ) It had come to this , that if a man had the misfortune to have the ignominious addition of Char ; ist attached to hisname , his rights . liberties , and life , were all a farce , and could be sacrificed with impunity . In reference to the same meeting , he added : —It had taken no less than fifteen hundred pounds to get
np that miserable and shabby procession , and to assemble about ( at the very highest calculation ) three thousand people , whilst the Chartists , for less than ten pounds , had three times the number . ( Hear , hear . ) And eTery one was completely blind who could not see at once , that they were not able to carry any motion in Manchester , without the assistance of the Iri-h Repealers . This , then , was the bone of contention , and the crime of the Chartists , being able to beat the cotton lords in fre » discussion . ( Cheers . ) Then , if such is the case , who is- to be blamed ? Are the poor delnded Irishmen ? No . Much as he deplored the circumstances which had taken place , and Eorry as he was to see the heads and faces of his unfortunate fellow-creatures cut and
mangled—horrined as he had been iu seeing men led to the Infirmary covered with blood , he would not injure a single hair of the poor Irishman ' s head ; but he would aim a blow , if any , and crack the heads of those who had embittered their minds against the Chartist 3 , by foully representing them to be ife the pay of the Tories—( hear , hear )—those who say that the Chartist 3 are Orangemen , and those who tell them that the ChartiEts are enemies to a Repeal of the Union—( hear , hear)—and further , those who oonld vindictively set out a report that the Chartists were about to burn the tfli ^ y of Daniel . O'Conneli and Father Hearne , ( Hear , hear . ) Tie speaker continued for some time longer , and , in order that no disturbance might occur which would bring the
people either into collision with the Whigs or the authorities , he would move an adjournment of the meeting , leaving the qnestion to bs taken np again by the inhabitants of Manchester . —Mr . Chambers , who had that day declared that , from what he had seen , he would join the Chartists , rose to second it . In doing which , ne said the Chartists had gained great eredii from their conduct that week , and that the other party had brought a lasting disgrace upon their heads . A gentleman " rose to make an amendment , which was to the tffect , that the next time thej assembled every man should be armed , - to meet force by force . Mr . Griffiths rose , and objected to that , because it would be illegal . He would let every man please himself ; therefore he would object
to such aa amendment being made . The above ' gentleman said he had hitherto been a Whig , but he was surfeited with them . The Chairman' then put i the motion , and it was carried unanimously . A number of hats had been destroyed at the meeting which the people present subscribed for , and replaced with new ones . A vote of thanks was given w the Chairman , and ; he meeting dispersed , leaving the inhabitants to ascertain for themselves whether public opinion is to be ttifled or not . Our correspondent adds : —** After the above meeting had concluded , I learned that a young man-, of the name of Cairns , had received a most brutal beating , and lost eight of his teeth , and his upper lip was nearly cut off , besides other wounds about his body . 1 saw him , and found it was correct , and that Mahon was dreadfully wounded , and was led home , And also many others , whose names I could not then get . A young man gave me a dagger which he had
picked up , that had been dropped amongst the Irishmen . I then went to the Infirmary , and requested to Bee Mr . Wheeler , and after great solicitation was shown the ward in which he lay . When I entered , Wheeler was very gl * d to see me . I asked him bow be was ? He said be was very poorly axd faint from the loss of blood . His head was then bleeding , notwithstanding tbe plasters which had been put upon it . I assisted him to lift his head a little from tbe pillow , and on viewing his head , I found it was cut dreadfully in six or seven different places , and the sheets and pillow were saturated with blood . He appeared to want to be got home , and requested I would tell his friends to fetch him . I immediately went and told his wife and son-in-law , who repaired to the Infirmary for the purpose of bringing Mm away , but they were neither " allowed to see him nor bring him home . I inquired how be was oa Sunday , and was told he was worse , and

still in the Infirmary . I then went to Mr . John Fielding , M . P . who was at the Moseley Arms , had an iaterview with him , and he requested I would furnish him with the facts respecting both meetings with which I complied . A committee has been chosen for the purpose of gathering all particulars , which , when obtained , will be handed to him . We will then leave him to deal with the matter as he may deem prudent . At the usual hour for commencing the meeting on Sunday evening , I went to the Tib-street room , which , to my surprise , was shut up , and a number of Irishmen about it . They surrounded me and faithfully promised me I should not be injured . We held a discussion in the open street , my friends every moment expecting I should get my head cracked . We discussed a many topic * , and in the most friendly manner ; they assured me that it was not their
intention to have molested the Chartists that evening . They had come for the purpose of arriving at some understanding with the Chartists . In conclusion , and before leaving them , I told them it was not my desire to state anything that was contrary to truth , and asked them the reason why they prevented the meeting taking place on the Saturday . They said thej had heard that the Chartists were about burning the efBgy of Daniel O'Connel and Father Hearne . They gave me great credit for moving a resolution , denouncing both parties , and for a placard which I had written , calling upon the electors of Manchester to vote for a Radical , and support neither Whigs nor Tories . If the Chartists would ouly-cease denouncing Daniel O'Conneli , and opposing the Corn Law repeaierB , and not support the Tories , they said they would join them , go with , and , by God , fight for them , i told them they could not make that promise and left them .

DEFEAT OF TH-E GRAXD TORY GATHERING , AT ST . ANDREWS HALL . ( Abridged from ihe Nonciclt Mercury . ) On Wednesday , a meeting was convened by public advertisement , " Vor the purpose of preparing an address or petition to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleased to dismiss from her councils her present advisers , and to call thereto such men as would restoro confidence to the country , and give the people their jnst rights . " Many if the subscribers to the Rsquisition having b « n admitted to the hustings , through the Workhouse , and being found ia possession , a working man on the platform said " 1 wish to ask a question , that is , how did you come on theEe hustings btfore the doors are opened ? ( Cries tf bow did you c-ine on ?) I demand that the doors be thrown open . ( Cries of did you come in by the railroad ? Ho came in by the steam boat How did you come in ? He came from Nca ' i ' s ark , and uproarious laughter . )
When the doors were thrown open , the Chartists poured in in immense nnmbers , and thronged towards tbe orchestra in front of tbe speakers . Dorer , the Chartist Uader , climbed up to the platform , and tbe people followed in such numbers , that many parties began to be alarmed far their wfety . A placard was exhibited , " Universal Suffrage , and No Surrender , " and handed to a party who stationed himself with it in front of the chair . The nproarwas immense , and the scene almost beggared description . Doveb said , recollect , that is Whiggery ; the Chartists have nothing to do with that . Mr . Bignold attempted to move that ! CoL Harvey take the chair , when a Chartist named Purland moved that a working man should take the c ' lair , and proposed that Mr . Hinds do so , amidst cries of No , no ; Yes , yes , and immense cheers and uproar .
CoL Hartet came for * ard amidst as great a confusion and combination of Bounds as we ever heard or witnessed . Cheers , groans , shouts , clapping of hands , and all kinds of noises were put in requisition to prevent the Colonel heicg heard . A man in the crowd proposed that they should hear vh&t might be said to them , when he was assailed by cries of " Does Capt , Money pay you ! " ice Mr . Dover asked if the chair was taken , and was ansxered in the nagative , when he proposed that the Mayer be requested to take his police out of the hall . Tbe uproar and gr » aning continued and increased . Mr . Bigmxld attempted to address the meeting , when the placard demanding Universal Suffrage was again thrust forward , and the uproar continued to
increase . Mr . PCB . Li . ND again moved that a working man take the chair . Mr . Bignold moved that CoL Harvey be called to the chair , and the two propositions having been put to a show of hands , be declared CoL Harvey to have tbe majority , and thrust him into the chair , amidst uproar , cheers , groans , and cries of " Put a working man in the chair , " "That resolution was carried , " " Turn CoL Harvey out " Mr . Pueland demanded that Hindi should have tbe chair , and desired CoL Harvey to come out of it Mr . John Hcbbexl , a working man , said—It is much better for you to be quiet , and let Mr . Bignold and other parties address you . ( Loud cries of No , no . ) Mr . Doveb said—I beg leave U move that Mr . Money and the Whigs be requested to take their police out of the Hall , and all will be right . ( Cries of bravo , and cheers . ) Mr . John Pallent came forward . ( Cries of " Yon promised to purchase that man , Hurrell , a new coat" )

He could not obtain a hearing beyond requesting tbe meeting to be quiet , and take a fair decision . Mr . Dover came forward amidst much cheering ' . He said— Gentlemen , there seems to be a fighting for the chairman ; as you Whigs and Tories cannot agree , let ' s propose a Chartist chairman . I propose that Mr . Matthew Smith take the chair . ( Immense cheering , " Is he * working man V " Yea , yes , he ' s a wearer , bo ' s a working man . " The show of hands for Smith to take the chair was larger than that for either of the other two parties previously proposed , and the uproar was again extreme . ) Mr . Bignold refused to consent to CoL Harvey ' s leaving the chair .
Smith came from the back of the orchestra and stood behind the chair , Several of tbe Chartists cried oat , turn old John Harvey out ; and at length it was agreed that CoL Harvey should vacate the chair , which announcement was enthusiastically received by the Chartists . Hchrell said—Colonel Harvey wishes to speak to the meeting first ( Groans , cheers , and great confusion . ) Col . Haryet arose , when he was assailed by repeated cries of sit down John , 'tis no use John , dont
hear him , ltt Smith come to the chair , take the chair first , come Matthew get in the chair Matthew , and shouting , groaning , and immense uproar . He made a second attempt equally futile with the first . The most stentorian voice must have been drowned in the immense tumult All that could be heard from the G illant Colonel was the imploring supplication , " will you allow me . ' * Finding it useless to attempt to address the meeting , he left the chair , and with his friends retired from the Hall amidst the hootings , jeers , and shouts of the Chartists , who now considered themselves in undisputed possession .
Mr . Matthew Smith having been pkod in the chair , rose to address tbe meeting , but for some time in vain attempted to proceed . Groans , cheers , noise , and uproar ; cries of go on , cut in , will you consent to have Mr . Hines ? No , no , yes , yea , silence , the pawonB and Tories have all left the Hal ) . Order being in some measure established , Dover came forward amidst a great variety of salutations , and , iu a speech of the most telling kind that we have read for a loug time —( we are sorry that the demands upon eur space oblige us to withhold it , though in type)—proposed the tir 3 t resolution . Mr . Thos . Hewitt seconded the resolution in an excellent sptecb . The resolution being put , was carried without opposition . Mr , John Hurrell moved the second resolution . Mr . Samuel Steward seconded tke resolution , which was carried without opposition .
Mr . Samuel Goat addressed his audience as fellow sufferers . He would have come forward to address them as freemen this day , but when he looked around and saw the slaves that were toiling in their streets , lanes , and market-place , he felt compelled to address them as slaves and sufferers under the existing institutions of their country . ( Hear , hear . ) They were aware that the preceding resolutions had been expressivo of their sense of the omissions and commissions of the factions which had ruled them with a rod of iron . He now stood before them for the purpose of moving a resolution to express their opinion , whether or not those despotic rulers should continue to lule the destinies of the nation .
"That it is the opinion of this meeting that her Majesty ' s Ministers have greatly injured the industrious classes of Great Britain and Ireland , by placing the elective franchise in the hands of the middle classes , whose sympathies for their poorer neighbours have long since ceased to exist , do therefore resolve to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss her Majesty ' s advisers , and call to her councils such men as will make the Peoples Charter the law of the land . Mr . Clarke seconded the resolution in a lengthened harangue . The resolution was carried nem con . Mr . Goat then moved the following address to her Majesty : —
" That your memorialists vie * with feelings of deep regret and alarm the present state of tbe country , and having no hope of improvement while her Majesty is surrounded by her present advisers , -who never since they nave been in office have manifested the least desire to promote tbe improvement of the industrious classes of the land , or to extend the hand of mercy to those unfortunate individuals who have fallen victims to their z&il in promoting the welfare of their fellow-men ; do humbly but earnestly pray your Majesty to be graciously pleased to dismiss from your Majesty ' s council and presence your present advisers , and call men who will make the People ' s Charter a nbinet question , thereby shewing a disposition to acknowledge the sons of toil worthy the consideration of the state .
" i our memorialists are anxious to secure to your Majesty the indisputable and undisturbed sovereignty of these realms , desire to convince your Majesty that so long as the people remain misrepresented in Parliament , laws will be mace to encourage the monopoly of wealth ,

M « je * y willbegractoM' ^ pteaaed lii ifl '"! jJKIll pardon to all political offender * now lncar ^ H | BPti the gaols of Great Britain , and to give your * # ffir' "" ' for their immediate and unconditional releose . X , ' Mr . Dover moved that tke addrets be phpinted to her Majesty by Mr . Duncombe and Mr . Wakw The thanks of the meeting were given to w Chairman , for his able conduct in the chair . Tbjfe times three were given for Frost , Williams , and Jojpt . Three cheers for the Northern Star , the people ' s paper , and the meeting quietly dispersed . At the close of the meeting some of the Chartists raid they had never been able to obtain the use of the Hall , even by paying for it , but now they had by their votes fairly obtaiued it for nothing- It had cost the Tories £ 29 for the meeting , and the Whigs £ 20 for the police , but themselves bad nothing to pay .
At two o ' clock , the Tories were permitted to have a meeting of their own at the Norfolk Hotel , at which they drubbed ber Majesty ' s Ministers to their hearts ' full content . The following are their resolutions ;—" That , in depriving the Freemen of this jand other cities and boroughs of their vested Municipal Rights , her Majesty's Ministers have been guilty of an act of gross and wanton injustice and spoliation . " \ "That by their unremitting endeavours to uMjold asd perpetuate in all their unmitigated harshness * id severity , the heaitlefs and oppressive provisions ef « ie New Poor Law , her Majesty ' s Ministers have e wjS | an utter disregard of the wants , f eeUnga , and ri gB ^ R the Poor .

" Agreed to unanimously with three hearty cheera . ^
Mr , Barkee moved the second resolution—f Tb £ t tho Whig faction , since they acquired power , have proved themselves to be the most hypocritical , profligate , treacherous , and tyrannical crew that ever held the reins of dominion in this land ; thej have violated their pledges , made their word * a jedTaud a mockery , and their name synonymous with fil that is base and wicked ; they have trampled upTnand insulted the people , and persecuted the Jthosen leaders of the oppressed many .

And seeing thai these outrages have been committed with the connivance of the Whig authorities o (

MORE PARTICULARS OF THE BUTCHERY . After the meeting had dispersed , placards were issued by gentlemen who were eye-witnesses of the proceeding which ttok place , and we would wish to impress upon our readers that the said persons are not Chartists ; the following of which is a copy : — " Englishmen of Manchester ! vindicate your character from the aspersions cast on it to-day in Stevenson ' s Square , by Richard Cobden , who dared to asfert that the ruffians hired fur the purpose of breaking the heads of all who nhould venture to question the efficacy of his nostrums and quackeries , were to be considered illustrative of the universal or general feeling of this lovcn . There were not Un respectable men upon the platform , and the greater part of the ground in front was occupied by the
brutality , filth , and ignorance of Little Ireland . And truly , the slaves of Daniel O'Conneli and Priest Hearne served their masters well : they came on the ground armed with immense bludgeons , which they used » il » e most cowardly and most brutal manner , for the destruction of any man who refused to do their dirty bidding . Will you submit to this 1 If so , let us bear no more boast of English independence . Lot reason go to sleep . Let faction rule , and let Richard Cobden be your organ . For further particulars inquire at the infirmary . "June 2 nd , 1841 . T . Sowler , printer , St . Ann ' s Sqbare . " I have been at the infirmary to inquire how many were carried there yesterday , who were wounded at the meeting , and the officer told me there were eleven ; and from inquiries I have ascertained that there were biz persons who had their heads dressed

at a surgeon ' s contiguous to the Square , and three at another Burgeon ' s , whose name is Grinrod , in Great Ancoats-street . A great many went as they were , bleeding to their ^ wn homes . Mr . Finigan , the day before the meeting took place , told one of our Chartist friends , that if be came to the meeting on Wednesday , to show any opposition , he must ; come prepared to meet his God ; and ( his he is willing to swear , if required , in any court . Mr . Walker , the drunken magistrate , was in great Ancoats-street last Friday evening , hearing Entwistle , who ia putting up as a candidate for the borough , and because some one bad the audacity to say something derogatory to the Whigs , he assured them that there should be broken heads .
for that many were round at the time . We are prepared to prove , that soon after the meeting had assembled , and symptoms were shown that there was likely to be great opposition manifested ; that a person entered the square with a number of short staves in the shape of rolling pins , wrapped in some fine paper , as though they were colours ; they were about a yard long and three inches in diameter , and when ho had got snugly among the Irishmen , dropped them , and made his wav out of the crowd ; any one who was present might have seen staves of the above description brandishing over the heads of the Irishmen as though exulting in their triumph when a motion was submifed . Mr . Thomas Potter was upon the hustings , and saw the Irishmen beating the people , and in the hearing of a gentleman , who is prepared to swear it , said that " the Chartists deserved their
heads broke" for opposing the repeal of the Corn Laws . And this gentleman ( Potter ) is a magistrate , and was knighted for his endeavours to crush Chartism . There appears to be one general feeling of sympathy for the peaceable Chartists , for the manner in which they conducted themselves ; and on the other hand , a feeling of disgust manifested and expressed towards the Whigs . I have met with no one who has laid any charge npon the Chartists , but lay all the blame upon the Whig Corn Law repealers ; many of the electors have declared that if that is Whiggery , they will have no more of it , and will never vote for another Whig ; and further , many of the repealers have said , that the great meeting will do them more injury and impede their progress more than anything that has ever taken place . It is the topic of conversation all through the town , and among the Irishmen a boast of what they have done to the orange ( as Dan called them ) Chartiste .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , June 3 rd . The principal topic of conversation is the brutal and indiscriminate attack made by O'Connell ' s mob upon the pr . ssers b y in Gracechurch-street . People are naturally asking , shall O'Conneli and Dr . Kirwan pass unscathed , while the more humble followers of the big 0 are punished . Trade is remarkably dull , but , notwithstanding , the good folks have been enjoying themselves right merrily during this festive season . Mr . Martin has paid to Mr . Rogers , for Mrs . Frost , the sum of 8 s . 6 d ., on account of Mr . Reynard .

PROBABLE SAFETY OF THE PRESIDENT . Liverpool , Wednesday Night . The greatest excitement has prevailed here throughout the day , in consequence of an arrival at this port of the Fortitude , Captain Arbuthnot , from Buenos Ay res , who reports that , when in lat . 47 . North , long . 24 . 30 , West , on the 25 th of May , at five o clock , a . m ., saw a very large steamer steering to the north-east , and making but slow progress . She was without a funnel—with crippled foremast , large paddle-boxes , painted dark colour , had a large square topsail set upon the maintop-mast , a topgallant-sail on the fore top-mast .
with fore and aft-saiis . Captain Arbuthnot seems positive that the vessel seen by him was the President steamer ; she waa about ten miles distant at the time . The prevailing opinion here is that the vessel seen was tho President . There are , however , others who conclude thatit was the Britannia steamer from Boston , now some days over due . It is not unlikely that the Liverpool agents of the President may despatch the British Queen ( now in dock here ) in search of the crippled steamer . She will most likely put into the first Irish port she can reach .
( from a correspondent . ) Liverpool , Half-past 5 , p . m ., Wednesday , I hare just time to say a few words . News has arrived here that the President is safe . She was seen on the 25 th of last month in the Atlantic ; and last night the Jessie , from St . John ' s , N . B ., which had been given up for lost for the last three months , and part of the insurance money had been paid , arrived in the River . The news haa treated * grcarBtmsar Lion in tho town . :

LEEDS . —Inquests . —On Friday night , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Hirst , the Duke William , in Waterloo-street , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Jonas Foster , a dyer in the employ of Messrs . Chadwick . The deceased was twenty-three years of age ; and on Wednesday night week , during the fire at Mr . Howard ' s mill , he was desirous to cross the river to go to it . It would seem that the boat being on the opposite side , he jumped in to swim over , as he had frequently done before ; but , being now in a state of
intoxication , he met with his death . There were no marks of violence , and a verdict in accordance with the circumstances was returned . On Saturday , an inquest was held before the same Coroner , at the Punch Bowl Inn , Hunslet . on the body of Alexander Tattersall , a weaver , fifty-three years of age , who was found dead in bed on Thursday morning . The verdict of the Jury waa "Found dead . " On Monday morning , at the Waggon and Horses , on the body of a little girl named Susannah Longbottom , who , on Saturday , was playing at Hoi beck , near a brick-yard , when she was run over by a cart laden with bricks .

.. Total Destruction by Fire of Astley ' s Am » PHiTHKATRE . —Aatley ' s Amphitheatre , the scene of the glories of old Philip Astley , and of the more recent triumphs of Ducrow , i 3 now a heap of ruins . Shortly after four o ' clock , on Tuesday morning a tremendous fire broke out at the baokof tho Theatre , and in less than three hours the whole of the premises , with the exception of the front towards tho Westminster-bridge-road , was totally destroyed The fire is supposed to have had its origin in the stable facing Stangatc-street , and to have aHsea from some defect in the gas pipes . Three of Mr . Ducrow ' s valuable horses have perished , irf the
flames , and an unfortunate donkey , which wfrs in the stables at the time , hasalso . fallen a sacrifice . Wo are sorry to add , that this calamity has not been unattended with loss of human life . One of Mr ; Do * crow ' s female servants was suffocated in the flame * , and the body dreadfully burned , has been dug oat of the ruins , and apprehensions are entertained that another , who is missing bos also perished . There were three watchmen in the interior of the theatre , and the first knowledge tjjey had of the existence of the fire was from seeing it break in one mass into the body of the theatre . So sudden was the invasion of the names , that Mr . and Mrs . Dncrow
had . barely timo to escape . The building and farmture , we understand , were insured to theamoniitof £ 7 , 000 . Mr . Ducrow ' s mental sufferings are represented as being intense . Nearly 800 personkwfll be thrown out of employment by the destruction of the Amphitheatre . Mr .

GJiASGCW . —Another large and crowded meeting was held in the Chaitist Church on Monday evening , Mr . Ross in the chair , far the purpose of considering ihe best policy -which the ^ Chartists should adopt at the approaching election . Mr . Rodger rose for tho purpose of moving a resolution on the subject , and in doing so , he congratulated his brother Chartists on the last defeat of the Whigs , the high position which the Chartists held in the country , —( hear , hear , )—and hoped they would allow the factions to fight their own battles . He concluded a lengthy speech , by moving that the Chartists do not give their support to any party , unless they agree to make the People ' s Charter a Government measure . Mr . M'Farlaneseconded
the resolution . Mr . John Co ' quhoun moved an amendment , to the effect that the Chartist electors throw their votes in the balance against them , if they find at the last hour the opposite party requires them . This was the course which he as an elector intended to pursue . He sat down amid loud cheering . Mr . Moir rose to second the amendment . He remarked that he was always very cautious in forming an opinion , but when he did so , it was not very easy driving him out of it . Mr . M'Farlane had represented him as having said , on a former evening , that he would down with the Charter on the election day , and up with it the next . He never said any thing of the kind . He would not consent to put down the Charter for a day , nor an hour , no ,
nor for a minute . ( Cheers . ) They had nailed their colours to the mast , and to no party , or for any purpose would they ever strike them . ( Cheers ) His purpose was to destroy the Whigs the one day and unite against the Tories the next . Mr . Moir went or at considerable length , and concluded amid loud cheering , a powerful , eloquent , and closelyreasoned speech . Mr . Johnston followed in favour of the amendment . Mr . Malcolm moved that the subject tf discussion be adjourned until that night week , and that a committee be appointed to canvass the electors . This proposition was seconded by Mr . Park , formerly of Spring Burn , but now of Gorbals . Mr . Cullen next ascended the platform amidst cheers , and in a speech of great ability and erudition pumelled the Whig faction in great style . H e related a circumstance and conversation which
he along wkh Mr . Pitkethly had seen and held in the house of Francis Pl&co , whilst in London , where persons in the eonfidenoe of Government were openly trafficking about an English borough at the rate of three pound per head for each elector , and that Mr . P ^ ace advised them , as Chartists , instead of wasting their money on petitions , which he said were nothicg better than waste paper , to keep their money and purch ase up some of the small boroughs of Entland , and by this means get Chartist candidates into the House of Commons . Talk of morality under a system that was based ou corruption from the top to the bottom ; an attempt had been made to show that tbe Wh > # 3 were not so bad as the Tories , nothing could be more enormous than such deductions . He found in perusing the page of history every bad measure , every violation of the ancient coB 9 * iu » tion _ had been the work of Whig legislation ;

"He flbYAiiallj supported tbe amendment of Mr . Col ^ uhoun . t ^ Nwu cheering . ) ilr . Moir of Tilefield , said the day of hojttbag had gone by ; some individuals talked of pledging the Whigs , these individuals would , as they had done on former occasions , swallow their pledge- in hatf . 'lls with the full intention of violating them the moment they got into the House of Commons . Mr . M'Farlane had said that Mr . O'Connor had declared that he would not accept of his liberty at the hands of the Tories , but he had forgot inhisanxiety for Whiggery , that O'Connor had also said that he would not accep-: it from the Whigs . It bad also been tried to borrow ihe influence ot O'Connor , narnelv , by stating that he had declared that while the \\ higs were devils the Tones were devils in heil ; agaiii forgetting to notice that noble patriot had also said , th 3 t come
Tory , come devil , we must get rid of the Whigs . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Hoey moved an amendment , that we support any candidate who will pledge himself to support a motion for the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , which was seconded by llr . Currie . Mr . Giilespie , in an eloquent speech , moved another amendment to gel npa large public meeting for the purpose of nominating two Chartist candidates , and tnereby afford an opportunity for those whose consciences would not aliow them to vote for a Tory . Mr . Rodger vras willing to accept Mr . Gillifpie ' s amendment as a rider to his motion , as the hour was now late . The motion for an adjournment vras put and carried , and a committee of fifteen appointed to caavass the liberal electors . Mr . Thocasson of the Yd . le of Leren , addressed the meeting . A vote of thanks was then given ; o the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .
