( Hear , hear ) A ; i every one was completely blind who conk' r .: i iee at o :: ce , that they were not able to carr / '~' - ? ni ' - 'non in Manchester , without the assistance or ihe lri > h Repealers .

could viLdionveiy set out a report that the Chartist 3 were about to burn the iffi . ^ of Daniel O'Connell and Fa-her Hearne . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker conthi-cd for some time longer , and , in order that no dis-. arbiuce might occur which would bring the peop ' e either into collision with the Whig 3 or the author ; d-s , -ia woaid move an adjournment of the Bjeetii . c , Uar ' wg ihs qaestion to be taken up again by the inha ^ itania of Manchester . —Mr . Chambers , who hsi that day declared that , from what he had seen , he w .-uid j lin the Chartists , rose to second it . In doing which , ne said the Chartists had gained great credit from their conduct that week , and that the other party had brought a lasting disgrace upon their ieads . A gentleman Tose to make an amendment ,
which was to the effect , that the next time they assembled every man shonld be armed , to meet force oy fcr" 2 . Mr . Griffiths rose , and objected to that , ' uMMir . c it would be illegal . He wonld let every man please himself ; therefore he would object to such an amendment being made . The above gentlcaian said he had hitherto been a Whig , but he was surfeited with them . The Chairman then put the moiion , and it was carried unanimously . A number of hats had been destroyed at the meeting , which : he people present subscribed for , and replaced vrivn b&w onea . A Tote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed , leaving tbe inhabitants to ascertain for themselves whether public opinion is to be stifled or not . Oar
corresponden : adds : — " After the above meeting bad coneluded , I learned that a young man , of the name of Cairns , had received a most brutal beating , and lost ight of his teeth , and his npper lip was nearly cut opi besides other wounds about his body . I saw him , and found it - was correct , and that Mahon was dreadfully wounded , and was led home , and also ciiny 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 Irish-Ben , I then went to the Infirmary , and requested to see Mr . Wheeler , and after great solicitation I was shown the ward in which he lay . When I
entered , Wheeler was very glad to see me , I af-ked kim how he was ! He said he was Tery poorly asd fust from ihe loss of blood . His head was then bleeding , notwithstanding the plasters which had Wen put i ;> or . it . I assisted him to lift his head a little from the pillow , and on viewing his head , I found it ^ as c at dreadfully in ax or seyen different places , and the sheets and pillow were saturated with biood . He appeared to want to be got home , and rcquestec I would tell his friends to fereh him . I imme'iiat-ely went and told Ms wife and son-in-law , who repaired " to the Infirmary for the purpose of bringing him away , but they were neither allowed to Bee him nor brvag him home . I inquired how ke wai on Sandav . and was told he was worse , and

still in the Infirmary . I then -went to Mr . John Fieldbg , M . P . who was at the Moseley Arms , had an interview with him , and he requested I would furnish him with the facts respecting both meetings , with which I complied . A committee has bees chosen for tbe purpose of gathering all particulars , which , when obtained , will be handed to him . We will ihon leave him to deal with the matter as he may deem prudent . At the usual hour for commencing the meeting on Sunday eTening , I went to the Tib-street room , which , to my surprise , was shut np , 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 topics , 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 under standing with the Chartists . In conclusion , and befere leaving them , I told them it was not my desire to state anything that was contrary to truth , and asked them tha reason why they prevented the meeting taking place on the Saturday . They said they hid heard that the Chartists were aboat burning the effigy of Daniel O'Connei and Father Hearne . They gave me great credit for moving a re .-o ! ution , deuounc : ug both parties , and for a placard which I had wrnten , calling upon the electors of Manchester to vote for a Radical , and support neither Whi . JS nor Tories . -If the Chartists would only eea ? e denouncingDaDielO'Connel ] , and opposing the Corn Law repealers , and not support the Tories , they said they would , jei . n them , go with , and , by God , fight for them .

DEFEAT OF THE GRAND TORY GATHERING , AT t > r . ANDREWS HALI * , ( Abridged from { he Norwich Mercury . ) On Wednesday , a meeting was convened by public advertisement , " For the purpose of preparing an ailircss or petition to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleaded to dis-nvira from her councils her present advUcra , and to cull thereto 8 uch men as would restore confidence to tbe country , aud give the people their just rights . "
Many of the sul-scribers to the Requisition having beer , admitted to the hustings , through ihe Workhouse , and being found in possession , a working man ou the . platform said " I wish to ask a question , that is , how did you come on these hustings before the doors are opened ? { Cries of how did you coute on ?) I demand tlut tha doora be tbroTsn open- ( Cries of did you come in \> j the railroad ? He came in by the steam boat . How did you coinu in ? He came irom Noah ' s ark , and uproarious laughter . )
v \ htn the door 3 -weie thrown open , the Chartists pou ei in in immense numbers , and thronged towards the yrd . « iri in front of tr . e speakers . Dover , the Ciisrust kader , cliuibtd up to the platform , and the peuplis foiiowfcd in such numbers , that many parties bctar . t / be alann :-d fer their srfcty . A placard was exhibited , " U .. ivcTsal Suffr . tge . und No Surrender , " and baiided ; o a p . iriy who stationed himself wiih it in iront of the chair . The uproar was im-Uien ; e , and the BCcnealmost beg-ared description .
Doykr iaiu , r e c ollect , that is Whiggery ; the Charn * ls have nothing to do with th ^ L ilr . Bignold attempted to moYe that CoL Harvey take the chair , when a Chartist named Puriand moved that a working man should take the chair , and proposed tbai ilr . Hinds do so , amidst criea of No , no ; Tts , yes , and immense cheers and uproar . Cal Hahvky came forward amidst as great a confusion and combination of sounds as we ever heard or wi : uessed . Cheers , groans , shouts , clappiDg of bauds , and ail kinds of noises were put in requisition to prevent the Colonel heing heard . A man in the crowd proposed that they should iear -what migut be said to them , when he was assailed by cries of " Does Capt . Money pay yon ' . '' 4 c Mr . Do tee asked if the chair was taken , and was answered in the nagative , when he proposed that the M 3 yor be requested to take his police out of the hall . The uproar and croaninij continued and increased .
Mr . Big . nold attempted to address tl . e meeting , when the placard demanding Universal Suffrage was again thi ust forward , and the uproar continued to increase . Mr . Pcelakd again moved that a working man take the chair . Mr . Bigsold moved that CoL Harvey be called to tbechsir . and tbe two prep isitions having been put to a show of hands , he declared Col . Harvey to have the -Biijurity , and thrust him into the chair , amidst uproar , chee r s , groans , and cries of " Put a working i : iaa in the chair , " "TJiat resolution was carried , " " Turn C ) L Harvey ont- " Mr . PUBLAjiD demanded that Hinds should have txie chair , and desired Col . Harvey to come out of it .
Mr . John Hvbbell , 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 . ) Jdr . Dotee stid—I beg leave te n'ove that Mr . Money and the Whigs be requested to take their police out of the Hall , and all will be right . ( Criea of bravo , and cheers . ) Mr . Johjt PiLLENT came forward . . ( Cries of " You promised to purchase that man , Hurrell , a new coat ") He could not obtain a hearing beyond requesting the meeting to be quiet , and take a fair decision .
Mr . Dovek came forward amidst much cheering . He said—Gentlemen , there seems to be a fighting for the chairman ; as you Whigs and Tories cannot agree , lets propose a Chartist ehainnan . I propose that Mx Matthew Smith take the chair . ( Immecse cheenng , " Is he a working man ? " "Yes , y es , he ' s a weaver , 5 > e ' 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 . Bioold refused to consent to CoL Harvy ' se leaving the chair . Smith came from th * back of the orchestra and stood behind the chair , Several of the Chartists cried out , torn 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 .
Hureell Raid—Colonel Harvey wishes to speak U > the meeting first ( Groans , cheers , aud great conf union . ; Col . Hakvet arose , when he was assailed by repeated cries of sit down John , 'tis no use John , don't hear him , let Smith come to the chair , tike the chair first , come Matthew get in the chair Matthew , and shouting , groaning , and immense uproar . He made it . second attempt equally futile with the first . The most stentorian voice must have been drowned in the immense tumult AH that could be heard from the Gallant Colonel was the imploring snpplication , " will you ailowme . '' Finding it useless to attempt to address the meeting , he left the chair , cud with his friends retired from t h e Hall ami dst the hootings , jeers , and shouts of the Chartists , who now considered themselves in undisputed possession .
Mr . Matthew Smith having been pV .. c * 1 in the -chair , rose to address the meeting , but for some time in vain attempted to proceed . Groans , cbeera , noise , and uproar ; cries of go on , cut in , will you consent to have Mr . Hinea ? No , no , yes , yes , silence , the parsons and Tories have all ltft the Hall . Order being in some measure established , Dover came forward amidst a great variety of salutations , and , in a speech of the moat telling kind that we have read for a long time—( we are Borry that the demands upon eur space oblige us to withhold it , though in type )—proposed the first resolution . Mr . Thos . Hewitt iwjonded the resolution in an excellent sptecb . The resolution being put , was carried without opposition . Mr , John Hcebell moved the second resolution . : Mr . Samuel Steward seconded the resolution , which was carried without opposition .
JO . T . Sahdel 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 slavea that were toiling in their strtets , lanes , and market-place , he felt compelled to address them as slaves and sufferers under the existing institutions of tbeir country . iHear , hear . ) They were aware that the preceding resolutions had been txpressivo of their sense of the omissions and commissions of the factions which had ruled them with a rod of itod . He now stood before them for the purpose of moving a resolution to txpresa their opinion , whether or not those despotic rulers should continue io rule the destinies of the nation .
"That it is the opinion of thii 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 reaolve to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss her Majesty ' s adviser * , and call to her oouaciU each men aa will make tbe People ' * Charter the law of the land . Mr . ClaKKB seconded the resolution in a lengthened harangue . The r eso lu tio n w a s car r ied ntm con . Mr . Goat then moved tbe following address to her Majesty : —
"That year memorialists view with feelings of deep regret and alarm the present state of the country , and having eo hope of improvement while her Majesty is surrounded by her pment advisers , who never since the ; have been ia office have manifested the least desire to promote the improvement of -the industrious classes of the land , or to extend tbe hand of merer to tkoae unfortunate individuals who have Mies victims to their zeal in promoting themUareof their fellow-men ; do humbly bat esrsettlv pray your Majesty to foe graciously viewed to dismiss from your Majesty's council and presence your present sdvLwn , and call men who will " mike tbe People's Charter a cabinet question , thereby shewing a disposition to acknowledge the sons of toil worthy the consideration of the state .
" Your memorialist * are anxioiu to secure to toot Majesty the indisputable and undisturbed sovereignty of these realms , desire to convince your M » jesty that so long as the people remain misrepresented In Parliament , laws will be made to encourage the monopoly of wealth , and diminish the comforts of the produsing milliona .

" Your memorialists therefore pray , that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant your royal pardon to all political offenders now incarcerated in tbe gaols of Great Britain , and to give your commands for their immediate and unconditional release . " Mr . Dover moved that tbe address be presented to her Majesty by Mr . Dancombe and Mr . Wakley . The thanks of tbe meeting were given to the Chairman , for his able conduct in the chair . Three times three were given for Frost , Williams , and Jones . 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 said they hod never been able to obtain the me of the Hall , even by paying for it , but now they had by their votes fairly obtained it for nothing . It bad cost the Tories £ 2 t for the meeting , and the Whigs £ 20 for the police , but themselves had nothing to pay .
At two o ' clock , the Torie 3 were permitted to have a meeting of their own at the Norfolk Hotel , at which they drubbed her Majesty's Ministers to their hearts ' fnil content The following are their resolutions : — " That , in depriving the Freemen of this and other cities and boroughs of their vested Municipal Rights , her Majesty ' s Ministers have been guilty of an-act of gross and wanton injustice aud spoliation . " "That by their unremitting endeavours to uphold and j > erpetuate in all their unmitigated harshness and severity , the heartless and oppressive provisions of the New Poor Law , her Majesty ' s Ministers have evinced an utter disregard of the wants , feelings , and rights of the Poor . "
" That this meeting cannot but consider the prepositions lately made by her Majesty ' s Ministers for the alteration of the Sugar Duties and Corn Liws , in opposition to all their former declarations , are put forward merely to delude the people , and shew tfceru to be totally unworthy of the public contideme ; and that a petition bo presented to her Muje&ty , humbly praying that she would be grrciously pleased to diomiss from her Councils her present advisers , and call thereto su » . h men as would restore confidence in the country and give tbe people their just rights .

DUBLIN . —The Charter Assoeiation of this place held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday , June 6 th , Mr . John Robieson in the chair , who , in a neat speeoh , showed that all the Irish agitators were seeking for was eqnality with England ; he showed very forcibly that England , with a domestic Parliament , a resident gentry , and great manufacturing capitalists , were equally oppressed with Ireland . He cautioned tbe people against the delusions which the Anti-Unionists put forth respecting a repeal of the Legislative Union being a panacea for all the evils that affect the people of Ireland , and concluded by proving that nothing short of tbe People ' s Charie r can ste m t h e tide o f opp r e s sio n , and make the people of Great Britain and Ireland a free and happy people . The meeting was also addressed by Messrs . Dompser , Dillo n , and Brophy . Several new members were enrolled , among whom were three females . Letters were read from Mr . Turner , of London , containing tracts , dec . A letter
from Mr . Russell , of Nottingham , was read , in which he stated that the Chartists of Nottingham had entered into subscriptions for tbe purpose of sending tracts and Start to Ireland . Peter M . Brophy acknowledges having received from Mr ) Clarke , of Stockport , per a friend , one hundred and forty Northern Start , and a great number of political tracts . Go-operative societies are being formed in all parts of Dublin . Serena are already established for the sale of soft goods , which they give to their own order , the working class , on security , to be paid at the rate of 2 s . in tbe pound ; and one for the sale of shoes has been established , about eight weeks ago , and it now employs more than seventy men ; there is also one for the manufacture of silk hats ; this has only been &ix wteks in operation , and they have now six looms employed in making the plash , and three men in making tbe hats . The shares in each are £ l , and the shareholders are all working men . This ia all the effect of temperance .

HALIFAX . —The Chartists here met on Saturday evening , and passed a strong resolution relative to the bloody Whig doings at Manchester . ROCHDALE . —The excitement and indignation which the brutal conduct of the Manchester Whigs baa given rise to in Rochdale is excessive . At a meeting of some thousands , at the Butts , on Thursday , Bairstow and others denounced the dastardly affair in energetic language . On Saturday last , at the meeting held after Shaman Crawford ' s public entry , some of the speakers likewise recurred to the subject ; and last night a great open air meeting was
held on CronkeyRhaw , to denounce this second Peterloo . A band of music , with banners , and an effigy of Daniel O'Connell , promenaded the town , and led a procession of some thousands up to the place of meeting . The people were addressed in eloquent 8 poeches by James Taylor , J . Taylor , and others , and after the meeting closed , the effigy of Dan was elevated on a rising ground , and burnt amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude . Cheers were then given for the Charter , O'Connor , and Frost , and groans for the Whigs of Manchester , and the meeting loimed in procession and returned back to Rochdale .
LEEDS . —At a meeting of Chartists , held at Mr . Josh . Oldroyd ' s , Quarry Hill , it was unanimously agreed that a People ' s Tract Society be formed immediately , for the purpose of more effectually spreading information among all classes on tbe great political truths contained in the Peoplo ' s Charter . A committee was choson , consisting of MessrB . Huttoii , Parker , Oldroyd , Lapibh , Hicks , and Turner , with power to add to then * number . Mr . Joshua HobBon , having been previously requested to act aa honorary Treasurer to the society , kindly consented , and was duly elected to that office . The committee earnestly de sire the co-operation of their Chartist friends in the town and neighbourhood—feoling certain that if working men will put forfch their energies there
will bo no bounds to the good that mii 3 t ensue . Properly authenticated books are now ready , ' and wili be put into the hands of individuals who are approved of by the committee , for the purpose of ooiainin * subscriptions . Application to bo mado to Mr . Wqj . Hick , secretary , at No . 5 , Market-street , by whom all money will bo teceired until further notice . The society ' s accounts will be published in the Northern Star . The following resolution was introduced and carried : — " That this meeting begs to congratulate the brave Chartists of Manchester on their forbearance and discretion whilo suffering under the uulawfui attack made upon them by the tools of the ' base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ; ' at the same time , this meeting would affectionately warn them against acting on the advice given , no doubt , in the heat and spur of
the moment , by the speakers at the Tib-street meeting , to arm i hem selves for the future when they might have occasion to attend public meetings . This , u is feared , might ftnnish a pretext to the base factious to unite and attempt to put down public meetings ! altogether ; or , at least , to eeize upon our best f 1 'iouds , aud cast them into prison . This meeting is deoidedly of opinion that further forbearance and renewed moral exertion will achieve a thousand times more , just now , for the cause of Chartism than any physical force demonstration we are capablo of making . Such insults are hard to bear ; but they must be borne until the time shall arrive , which is not far distant , when we may count our . right arms with safety , and push forward the standard of freedom . This meeting also be ^ s to recommend the immediate adoption of exolu . ive dealing for electioneering aud other purposes . "

Dr . Sleigh the agent of the Agricultural Society , who came down from Londou to the- Stevenson ' ssquare meeting , but whom the "bloody" Whigs dare not allow to * peak there , delivered a lecture in the Corn Exchange , on Wednesday evening iast . The place was crammed , aud a precious whacking the " bloodies" got . Wheeler , the Whig Victim . —Our correspondent has inquired after po . ir old Wheeler , who was so brutally treated at the massacre , and is informed that he is uot at all likely to recover . Two Men , in a state of intoxication , turned out of a public-house , near to the Market-place , to fight , on Tuesday morning . One of them struck tho other a blow on the juglular vein , and he fell dead as his feet . The survivor has been held to bail to appear at the Assizes .
WHITZHXLXi , BRADFORD , ( Wilts ) - At Bradford fair last Monday , a policeman was illusing a horse very much , when a respectable farmer ' s son remonstrated with him , and desired htm to debist . He immediately turned round and seized the young man , and attacked him with bis bludgeon , when up ran from twelve to fifteen of the force , headed by Mr . Foley , an inspector , and they beat the man very severely , and locked him up . The conduct of the police was thoroughly brutal , and all in the crowd who murmured against it were treated in the same manner . The young man obtained a hearing with the magistrates , and was bound in a £ 40 bond to keep that which the police had broken—the peace . So much for the tyranny and vexatious interference of the " blue bottles . '
BRADFORD . —The late butchery at Manchester has oxoited one sniversiU thrill of horror and indignation through this part of the country . Woe to the Whigs ; woe to the assassin Corn-Law repealers ! Their villanous hypocrisy is now by themselves revealed . Let the Manchester assassins know that their Manchester game cannot be played elsewhere . Let them remember Calthorpe street , and beware ! Let them remember that the dagger was there found as efficient on the side of right as was the bludgeon ou the side of might ! and that the ruffian who struck down the defenceless man , the timid woman , aud the infant child , was sent by the patriot ' s hand to " meet his God" with something less than ten minutes to prepare him for his final account . " Let tyrants and slaves think of that , and let all who stand on the wrongs of men tremble to think of it . " What has been , may be again !
MEWCAST 1 VE . —The town of Newcastle was thrown into considerable confusion on Tuesday , by a fight between the blue devils and the red ones . A few soldiers of the 87 th being on the "spree" in Sandgate , were attacked by the police , and the result was a brutal fight , which continued several hours , to the great alarm of the peaceable inhabitants ; eventually , several companies of the 87 th made their appearance with fixed bayonets , and after dispersing the blues , captured their recusant comrades , who , to the number of seven , were brought before the magistrates , two being liberated , and the other five mulcted in various sums .
BIPPONDEN . —A Charitable Pastor . —A correspondent has forwarded to us a statement relative to the conduct of the Rev . Mr . Bayfield , Incumbent of Ripponden Chapel , which shows the utter contempt with whioh the well ted , well paid , higher classes treat those whom they deem their inferiors . On Sunday last , as the children of the parish were proceeding to church , the Reverend Gentleman above named made up to tbe gates and blockaded them , and in an imperious tone demanded "Why do ye bring those children here ! Are we to have . the pews of other people crowded with them i Ye shall not enter this place , except by the
consent of the Churchwardens . Such an outrage upon public feeling , as this could scarcely have been expected in the nineteenth century . It created such disgust , that numbers who were going to church returned home , and vowed never to enter the church again . The solution of this conduct lies in this , that the children belong to & Sunday school , and were formerly attached to the parish chapel , but as they would not give up their writing on the Sunday , they were not permitted to have a collection in the chapel for their use . Such is the ground upon which this intolerant minister of religion (?) forbids the children to worship in the parish chapel . His conduct speaks for itself .
BABN 8 I 1 EY . —There have been three large meetings of tho weavers held during the week , on May Day Green , where soul-stirring speeches ware delivered to the assembled multitudes , by Messrs . Sykes , Alexander , Shaw , MouldB , Terry , Ac . The statements made by these workmen , who are members of the Committee , leave but little doubt of the Bnocesaful issue of the contest of right against might , and we sincerely hope that Mesara . Taylors wiu see the necessity of conceding to the just claims of the workmen , their request being only to pay the wages which the other masters of the town are paying at present . They cannot expect that other maecers will tacitly acquiesce in their mom , pjly of the markets , by underselling them , and depriving the weavers of their wages , that they may get a ready market .

LEICESTER . —The election fever rages here . Since the withdrawal of O'Connor ' s anv * Colonel Thompson ' s names as candidates , the WhigS , * TniltiIy conscious that they have outraged every feeliiig of humanity in their scornful and cruel treatment of the Chartists , are looking , with fear and trembling , to the appearance of two Tory candidates in the field , knowing that the union of Chartists with Conservatives will be fatal to the return of Easthope and Ellis , the Whig set riles . The agitation kept up by Chartists increases these fears . Last Sunday evening , Mr . Cooper , editor of the suppressed Illuminator , preached a . political sermon in the Market-place , to a large audience ; and the Whigs are so mortified with the home truths then delivered , that they are threatening imprisonment . In spite of these silly attempts at intimidation , Mr . Cooper again assailed the ramparts of Whig deceit on Tuesday night . The meeting , unluckily , was prolonged too far beyond twilight ; and at its conclusion ,, a gang of the " Bloodies " rushed forward , and attempted to throw the lecturer on the ground , and it was not until a renforcement of Chartists came up , that dauger was averted . Reports of police interference , to be displayed next Sunday evening , are rife , through the town ; but Mr . Cooper intends to take his stand in the Marketplace again , notwithstanding .

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tuesday , June 8 . The House met at the usual hour , but did nothing of importance . Wednesday , June 9 . Their Lordships did not meet
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Juke 8 . Lord J . Russell stated his intention not to proceod with the following bills during the present session : — The Factories Bill , Silk Factories Bill , County Courts Bill , Registration of Voters ( Scotland ) Bill , Parliamentary Burghs I Scotland ) Bill , and the Drainage of Towns ( No 2 ) Bill . The Noble Lord said it was his intention to proceed with the Municipal Corporations Bill , the Bribery at Elections Bill , the New South Wales Bill , and the Western Australia Bill . Tbe remainder of the evening was spent in discussing a complaint of bribery at elections , which , of course , ended as it began—in nothing ; talking what they would do in the next Parliament , we suppose to gull their constituents ; and with other details of no importance whatever . The Houso adjourned early—that is to say , at half-past twelve o'clock .
W ednesday , June 9 . The Speaker took the chair at the usual hour . After tbe presentation of some petitions , and the transaction of a little routine business , the further consideration of the Administration of Justice Biil was moved . Sir . E . Suqden proposed a clause to prevent the Bill coming into operation till the 18 th of Octoberl alleging that it was highly improper to allow a Government that bad not tbe confluence of the House of Commons to exercise all the patronage which tbU Bit , would bestow . A debate ensued , in which it was contended by Lord John Russell , that it was treating Lord Cottenham most invidiously to suspend the period for the Bill coming into operation . The motion was pressed to a division and the Ministers were defeated by 101 to 38 .
Lord John Russel then declared that he would withdraw the Bill . L > rd Stanley throw on the Government , if it did , the blame of delaying the administration of justice . A good deal of crimination and recrimination passed , and in the end the Bill was withdrawn , and the House adjourned .

FKOM OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , June 10 / A . Tbe whole of the metropolitan boroughs are now the sceues of election proceedings . In the Tower Hamlets , Col . Fox , ef btroud notoriety and Sandwich defeat , has started on pure Whig principles , unwilling to go for even a small extension of the suffrage . Opposed to him will be eldest son of Col . Thompson , who is expected to accept the invitation of the true and good men of the Tower Hamlets . At a meeting held last night in support of Col . Fox , and which terminated in a tremendous row , the police were called upon to make an attack upon the people as they came out , by Col . Fox ' s supporters .
From an explanation given in the House of Commons this evening , it appears that the name of Mr . Law Ho < lgea was inserted in the Division List on Ivlr . Duncombe ' a motion on behalf of the political prisoners , in mistake , instead of the name Of Mr . Schofield , the Member for Birmingham , who voted for the motion . This does not alter the numbers . Mr . O'Connell says , in a private letter which I haveseen , that he paired off with Archdall in favour of the motion . Parliament will be dissolved on Wednesday next .

Arrival op the Britannia . —Liverpool , Wednesday . —The Britannia hns , at last , arrived safe and sound—just when the anxious were beginning to prognosticate evil tidings she has arrived to set the fears of all at rest . We learn that the cause of her detention happened thus : —She left Boston , as advertised , on tho 16 th , and Halifax on the 18 th , when , all being ready , she proceeded on her voyage . Shortly after leaving Halifax , aud whilst still in charge of a pilot , she very unfortunately got aground , but was got off at tho next tide , and returned to Halifax , and , though she had not sustained any damage , it was deemed prudent by her careful as well as enterprising owners to send her to St . John ' s , where she was overhauled , aud it was found that she might have proceeded ou hor voyage with safety .
This circumstance delayed her departure from Halifax until tho 29 th , when phe again sailed , with about 90 passengers , and has made the very rapid passage of eleven days . Her detention has caused her dates to be no li-ter than the 15 th of May , and consequently there is no news of importance that has not been previously known . The President Steamer . Hopes are again raised that ( his steamer is safe . Captain Burgess , of the Osprey , Waterford Steamer , reported en his arrival at Bristol , that he had seen a large steamer , disabled , about mid-channel between the Smalls and Saltese . It is said that the Lords of tho Admiralty intend to debpatch two steamers in quest of the large vessel seen by the Osprey , on its way from Waterford to Bristol .
