A vast num-1 ber of tho factory hands were then kd up to the sssist-nce of the Cobdcur . e ? , having been promised i ? . per head if iho L \ rn Law Repealers succeeded i
m out-numbering thu Chartists . The provocation , together 151111 The iLtoxicatiug drinks that were sup- j piled , had the lend-j ^ ey of cLsiurbiiig rathsr i than pre ^ ervic ^ the peace . Oa the arrival ofj the precision of the opposing P ^ rty , ( the I Chartist ? . ) . vrkb . the ins : giiri of their puiitical principle ? , the two fictions of repealers drove i ibem back , aud destroyed some of their fibgs . Id a j few minuies , however , the Chartists had reinforced their numbes-s considerably , and again pressing for- ; wards , succeeded in presenting thein ^ lvcs at the ' meeting . The numbers at this time in attendance I are vanonsly estimated at from 10 : o 13 , 000 persons , j The leaders of thcauti-repeaiers cow found that the
hustings which they hai erected at their own eipense , had been Taken po . ^ e ^ sion of by Sir Chas . Shavr ' s police-force , iior would they gr . e wav . Tne consequence was , that one or two of vi : e 5 peakers were obiijjea to crave accommodation ujx > n iho principal i hustings , ^ vhere Sj Richard Potter , Mr . Fiani ^ an , ' Mr . Cobden , the Rev . Sir . Ilearne , the Catholic ' Priest , and other leading repealers were placed . Dr . Sleigh , of . the London Axricuiturai Association , i was also present , wiih the inteiitioa of replying to ths argumeut 3 of the anti-Corn La-. v party . Mr . Richard Cobdtn took the chair ; and although m } opening the meeting he talked about " a fair and j impartial hearing" —"' dt liberate discu&siou , " & . c , yet , after the first anti-C . rn Law motion had been j
proposed and seconded , he utclined to allow Mr . Jonathan Bairstow to move any ameudmeut . Mr . Bairstow and others then begged the chairman would a ? cer : ain the sense of the meeting upon the point ; and although Mr . Pairstow had the authority of a large majority if the people in favour of his speaking , the " liberal" and " impartial " Chairman would _ not ai ' ow him to _ proceed , This , of course , gave rii-e lo an expression' or disgusj and opposition . Dr . Sleigh in vain desired to say a few words ; but he wa . 3 absolutely thrust from the hustings amids ; the cheer .-- Gf the brawlers for fair p ' . sy . The police-: ore--, who had doubtless received Weir orders as to how they should proceed , at particular junctures , ejw attacked with their bludgeons every person who appeared in the character of an
opponent to the vo : ee of Mr . Cobden , aud this system was carried on ia s-ach a disgraceful and merciless manner , ; hat ihe affray was in dauger of terminating with frightful result 3 ; indeed slaaghter was so general that men and women were carried off to the Infirmary as fast-as they could be gathered ; and one elderly man , Just in front of the hustings , who was in the act of inveighing against the " base , brutal , and bloody Whigs , " as O ' Ckmnell denomi nates them , -was struck upon the head , and savagely iii-treated ivh . lst lying insensible on the ground . Upwards of twenty " -six are now in the Infirmary ; aid one nisn , we have just learned , is dead from the wounds he received at this meeting . By ssch leans the opposition was at lentth silenced , and thereupon" the chairman declared the
object of the me € t . ii *; to be carried , isot a single ariti-repealer was aLowed to speak ; and it will be a comfortable consolation to the p-ny who got up the meeting , if they c-in say that the disturbances at this meeting were . a v > t on their parts premeditated . A great many persons from this town joined the mei-img , pio and cun ; and some of the latter camo in for taeir share of the outrage . It is somewhat remarkable that , with one exception , all those who were ili-ireatei at thU meeting , are opposed to a repeal of the corn-laws ^—the repealers having been distinguished with ribbons tied to their buttou holes . The same evening , a large meeting was held in the Caa le Yard iu this town , when Mr . Bairstow , and
others , gave a frightful picture of the brutality which had been inflicted upon the people at Manchester , because of their opposition to such a repeal of the Corn Laws as Mr . Cobden would fain give the electors . The language wa 3 strong and emphatic ; and Mr . Cobden was UDammoasiy denounced , and declared to be unworthy to represent Slockport in Parliament , and the meeting thereupon pledged themselves to use their best exertions to prevent his return . Three of the leading membere of Mr . Cobden ' s committee—Sir Ralph Pendlebury , Mr . Alderman Barker , and Mr . Charles Hudson , were present , and app-ared grievously distressed that the tide of popuiar favour should so sooa have been turned against their pet . —Stockporl Advertiser .

BIBMriGHAM .-Wednesday Evening . —At a meeting of the National Charter Association , held at the Chartist Room , Freeman-street , oa Wednesday evening , Mr . T . P . Green in the chair . A deputation from ihe Christian Chartist Church , Newhallstreet , attended ; they informed the meetiug thai the Christian Cnartist Church had formed a committee for the purpose of returning a Chartist candidate for Birmingham , and requested that the National Charier Association would depute som <* of their body to act with them . Mr . White objected to the of tho
request deputation , and paid that the Association were about calling a public meeting in order to choose a committee of non-eleetor 3 fsr the purpose of choo-ing Chartist candioates , and otherwise conduotuig the affairs of the Chartiots at the next election . Mr . Chi a well , one iTartiiiTti | nt I'inn , replied that the committee , which had sent him , had determined to selec :- candidates tba r . evening , thao they had plenty of money to go to the poll , whereas the working mtn had no ; ; he therefore thought they ought to send a few from their body . Mr . White answered that the men who formed the
commu ; eo were seeing the same as vVhigs aud Toriesthat they nad not been chosen by a public meetingthat , in fact , the public knew nothing of their proceedings , which was decidedly a hole and-coruer affair . Ho was determined that tho Chartists of Birmingham should have a fair opportunity of electing their own committee' and choosing their own candidates . He considered tho proposition to be an insult to the Cnariist Association , aud should move that , the application be rejeeted . The motion was seconded by Mr . Barlow , and carried unanimously .
General Election . —Tho Chartists of Birmingham have determiued to act their part at the forthcoming elecions . A preliminary meeting was held at the Chartist-room , Fr ^ eman-strect , on Monday eveuiiig , to consider the steps that should be taken by the Associated Chartists en this iuspor'ant < . ccasion . Mr . Thompson , of Hurst-street , was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . George White to address the meeting , who proceeded at some length to describe the important autics that devolved uptm the Cnurtisrsat the forthcoming elections . H « recommended to the meeting the propriety of hciciii " an opea air meeting on the following Monday , lor the purpose of electing thirty persons to act as a noti-electors' committee . He su ^ ested tho
propriety of appointing forty-ei ^ ht canvassers who should vuit iho electors , and request their votes for two Chartist candidates , and that if two could be found who were well known advocates and supporters of the People ' s Charter , they should receive the support of the Chartist body ; if not , they ought to start two working nu-. i , and rake the show of hands at the nomination . He said thit the time had armed when it would be proved whether Englishmen were determine i to have their rights and whether they were prepared to res 1 st the usurpation of tho ten-pounders . Ho considered that they should test public opinion on the present occasien , and prove to the usurpers of their rights that they veers not the people ' s representatives . - He proceeded to explain the enormous extent to which the people were plundered by the parties who called
themselves the people ' s representatives , and concluded by hoping the men and wom ^ n ot Birmingham would set aa example to the rest of the coautry . The proposition was warmly received , aud a subscription entered into with . spirit , for the purpose of defraying the expenccs of the meeting . Two hundred bills have been ordered , and there is little doubt that the gathering will be numerous . It was the iniention of the parties appointed to arrange for the meeting , that it should be held at Holloway Head ; but for Borne reasons unknown , that pare which used to be appropriated for the holding of meetings has Deen dug up , and the remainder is in a state of cultivation , it was , therefore , determined that the meeting should take place on the open piece of ground near the railway Biation , Di . ddeston-row , on Monday evening next , at five o'clock .
Chartist Meeiikg at Dartmouth-Street . —An open air meetiug took place on a large plot of building ground , situate in Dartmouth-street , on Taesday evening last , which was woil attended .

White and Taylor were interrupted by the pulice when addressing a meeting at the above-named place , a short time ago ; and on Tuesday evening last , a person commenced preaching t > ome sort of doctrine , without the slightest hinderance trom the " blue bottles . " Tho inhabitants of that neighbourhood ordered the man off , and told him that ;! the Cuartists wero not allowed to meet there , nobody else should .
It has bekn humoured here amongst Mr . Schofielc ' s frieuds , that he had voted for the release of the Chartitt prisoners , and that he liad sent a letter 10 Birmingham to thai effect , and wondered that his name bad been omiued . If such waB the case there was a majority in favour of the motion . CBAimsT Reading Room . —It is the intention of the Chartists of Birmingham to establish a reading room and thop , for the disbe . miuauon of their principles .

Total Destruction by Fire of Astlet ' s Amphitheatre . —Astley ' s Amphitheatre , the scene of the g ' . ories of old Philip Astley , and of the more receuc triumphs of Dncrow , is now a heap of ruins . Shortly after four o ' clock , oii Tuesday morning , a tremendous fire broke out at the back of tho Theatre , and in less than three hours the whole of ihe promises , with the exception of the front towards the Westminster-bridge-road , was totally destroyed . The fire is supposed to have had its origin in the stable facing Staugatc-street , and to have arisen from some defect in the gas pipes . Three of Mr . Ducrow ' s valuable horses have perished in the names , and an unfortunate donkey , which was in the stables at the tinio , hasalso / allen a sacrifice . We are sorry to add , that this calamity has not been unattended wiihloss of human life . One of Mr . Bucrow * s female servants was suffocated in the flames * and the body dreadfully burned , has been dugout
of the ruins , and apprehensions are entertained that another , who is missing has also perished . There were three watchmen in the interior of the theatre , aud the first knowledge they had of the existence of tho fire was from seeing it break in one mass into the body of the theatre . So sudden was the invasion of the flames , that Mr . and Mrs . Duoro ' w had barely time to escape . The building and furniture , we understand , were insured to the amount of £ 7 , 600 . Mr . Diicrow' 8 mental bufferings are represented as being intense . Nearly 200 persons will be thrown out of employment by the destruction of the Amphitheatre . Mr . Ducrow ' a celebrated horse Mazeppa , which was valued at upwards of 2 , 000 guineas , is said to have been one of the three horses destroyed . Several houses adjoining the theatro were at the time in imminent peril , but though several are injured , none are actually destroyed . The flames were got under at about half-past six o ' clock .

These papers contain a long examination at the British Consul ' s office of Captain Bowman and mate of the British bark Recovery , who had reported that they had seen the wreck of the steamer on their passage from Bristol to New York . The evidence does not , however , bear out the opinion previously entertained . There is a much more probable report made by the Captain of a vessel from Havre to New York , who states , that on the ISih of March he passed
several fragments of a wreck about which ere ' quantity of chains , such as are used in the rigging oti , a steamer . The case of M * Leod wa 8 to come oca upon the day the Stephen Whitney sailed .
