HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY, MAY 16. Lords Wenlock and Colborne were introduced by Lords Braybrooke and Rosebery with the usual formalities, and took their seats. Lord KENYON preseuted a petition against the appropriation of Church property to any other than ecclesiastical purposes. The Earl of CA W DOR presented a petition in favour of Church extension in Scotland. The Duke of RUTLAND presented petitions from the boards flf guardians in the counties of Derby and Leicester, praying that in any alterations to be made in the new poor laws, the great principles of the act miabt be retained on a future occasion he would show their Lordships that the working of the Amendment Act had ai-eatly benefited the labourer. The Marquess ofNORMANBY presented papers respecting the Clergy reserves in Canada; also papers respecting the employment of Indians in the late rebellion in Canada also papers regarding the transactions which took place at iVIullingar in Jiune last. Lord BROUGHAM had a very important petition to present, and be was glad he had the opportunity of doing so in the presence of his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury. It was agreed to at a public meeting held in Gla-gow, and was signed by from 6,000 to 7,000 persons, who prayed for the nierc;ful interference of the House on behalf oflhe five cotton spinners who were sentenced to seven years' transportation for a misdemeanour in January, 1838. They were foulld guilty by a majority of only one of the jury of the two minor counts in the in- dictment; flaiiiely-assaii t and threats. Theirinoi-al character was unimpeachable, and their conduct while on board the hulks exemplary. The petitioners implored their Lotdships to take the hardship of the case of these men into their serious and merciful consideration; and he (Lord Brougham) would add one word in support of that prayer. By the mere accident of locality they were convicted of a crime which subjected them to seven years'trati-portai joti, and of these seven years eighteen months had bfe,) paused in the hulks and by a blunder to which ihey were no parties, committed by the person entrusted with the management of the Crown Law-office in Scotland, they were kept three months in prison before that, so that they had spent twenty-one months in confinement, or seven times as long as they could have been imprisoned if they had com- mitted the same crime some fifty or sixty miles to the southward, in Westmoreland or Cumberland. He really did not think it redounded to the credit of the law that so great a disparity should exist in the measure of punishment to be inflicted. He hoped their case would be tdketi into the merciful consider- ation of her Majesty's government; but he should not, on the present occasion, give any notice for a particular motion on the subject. The Eirt of Rosebery a"d the Marquess of Lon- donderry preseuted petitions in favour of Mr Hill's plan of postage. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition praying for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Bill. The Bishop of EXETER presented petitions from Ihe Clergy of the diocese ot Exeter, and from the diocese of Ripou, against the Church Discipline Bill. The petitioners stated that they saw in the Bill the extinction of some of the most essential parts of the Christian Church, as they considered that the subordination of the Bishops was almost done away with by the Bill; and that with respect to the Ecclesiastical Courts, it would render the proceedings there much more annoying than they were at present. In his opinion, the provisions of the Bill had a great tendency to the extinction of of episcopacy. Such was the feeling of the Clergy with respect to this Bill, that he felt convinced before it again came under the consideration of their Lord- ships numerous petitions would be presented againt it. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER would add his testimony to that of the right reverend prelate as to the feelings of the Clersry I iil respect to this Bill. The Bishop of LONDON could not submit that the remarks of the two reverend prelates should be allowed to go forth without at the same time making one or two remarks upon the subject. With respect to the tendency of the Bill 10 extinguish episcopacy, he must deny that it had any such tendency, nor would it in any way weaken the superintendence of the Bishop over the Clergy. HP must .I..o deny, so far as his intercourse with the parochial Clergy went, that there existed amongst them any feeling against the Bill. The Bishop of EXETER wyuld be prepared to justify his opinions respecting the Bill when it was regularly before the House. The Earl of RODEN remarked that a subject of the deej-est importance was about to be submitted soon to the House, and he therefore wished to a^k his Noble and Learned Friend Lord Brougham when he intended to bring- forward hi", Bper Bill? Lord BROUGHAM replied that it was his inten- tion to submit the Bill to their Lordships that day fortnight. Viscount MELBOURNE moved that the House at its rUing adjourn to Monday the 27 h. The Duke of WELLINGTON wished to know if there could not be an under-tanding as to the con- tinuance of their sittings until the judicial business was disposed of? He had business in another part of the town on the 271h of M iy, which was Trinity Monday. He believed the Noble Viscount had alco business to do on the same day: he wished to know whether it might not be convenient to adjourn to the 28th. Lord HATHERTOX remarked that there were Irish witnesses io be sworn on the 27th. Viscount MELBOURNE had no objection to the suggestion of the Nobie Duke; but They ought to remember that the House of Commons was in a pecu- liar state, and that it would be incon veuieut if they wanted to communicate with that House, The LORD CHANCELLOR said if the House were not to adjourn till the judicial business was terminated, it would never adjourn at all. Besides, when not in that House, he was in the Court of Chancery, where the business was also very heavy. Viscount MELBOURNE said they might adjourn to the 27th on the understanding that no particular business would be brought forward upon that day. The Duke of WELLINGTON had, he said, no objection to the course proposed by the Noble Vis- count. The House then adjourned to Monday the 27th of May. ^mm—m

The Ordnance department at the Tower has been particularly busy during the last week in ship- ping and forwarding mi itary stores to all parts of England and Wales. Bedding and stores of every description for about two thousand men have been forwarded to Bfistot in waggons. Two van loads were sent away to the west of England at a late hour on Wednesday night. Camp equipages, mus- kets, &c.. have been forwarded to the troops in the north. The troops in the neighbourhood of the manufacturing districts are so numerous that there is not sufficient barrack-room for them, and camps are to be formed. Thirty thousand muskets for the home service have been ordered, and the gunsmiths in the Tower are now actively employed in getting them ready. CHANGE of Times.-Aii old farmer, who lives not far from the Hampshire Hilis, observed lately when talking of the ex travance and alteration of the times, that it was the fine words and flattery of men to the farmers' wires that had done all the mischiel; "For," said he, "When it was dame and porridge 'twas real good times J. when 'twas mistress and broth, 'twas worse a great deal; but when it came to be ma'am and soup 'twas very bad !Reading Mercury. A NOVEL EVENT.—A gouty man, scarcely able to walk, and almost frantic with excruciating pain, was once striving with agonizing step to reach tii$home aud family a respectable person preceded him at some distance with a large packet, from which were dropped 'accidetitally, some small boxes, which, in his hurry, he did not observe; the afflicted pedes- trian, with the curiosity incipient in human nature, picked up one, and carried it home, where a family conclave superintended the opening of it, and, found it to contain little globules, which excited the wonder of the junior branches of the family as to their use and construction. The gouty veteran cautiously applied a couple to his tongue, but in the excitation of the moment, a little boy jostled his father's arm, and the subjects of their curiosity slipped down his throat beyond the reach of reco- very. The ignorance of the family immediately prompted a bost of fears as to fatal results, should it happen to be poisoiioti- but they \vere soon as- tonished beyond measure to see the spirits of the old man revive and his step become animated aud im- proved., Two, and two more, were taken wjih simi- lar caution and lo! the victim of the Gout stood forth erect, the wooden prop which had borne him company through many a weary day was spurned with contempt, and his children beheld him restored to his pristine vigour. But what were these won- derful things which had performed a cure almost miraculous? It was resolved to show them to the neighbouring clergyman when, to the surprise of all, their friendly pastor declared them to be Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which had cured so many persons amongst all classes, and which he himself strongly recommended to all he knew, from the great benefit which he had derived from their use.

APPREHENSION OF TWO CHARTISTS AT BIRMINGHAM. (From the Evening Mail.) BIRMINGHAM. FRIDAY, MAY, 17, 4 O'CLOCK, P M. The magistrates in Birmingham have at length justified my anticipations, and vindicated the law. At the close of the meeting at Holloway-head on Monday, it was understood that the evening assemblages in the Bull-ring would be discontinued, and that for the future they would take place on the spot on which they were then met. This course, it was understood, was adopted because of an intimation given in the proclamation published in The Times on Monday, that if any further meetings were held within the town, the authorities would immediately take steps for their dispersion. Accordingly, on Tuesday and Wednesday the Chartist mob assembled at Holloway- head, but, owing to. its .distance from the centre of the town, and more particularly from the Radical districts the attendance was extremely small. It was deter- mined, therefore, by the leaders, that if they did not assemble in.the, BuU-riug, at least to take up their stations in some other part of the town. Their de- termination was made known to the magistrates on Thursday morning, and with becoming promptitude the civil power immediately adopted measures for carrying their proclamation into effect. At 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, a meeting of the leaders of the special constables- was lield at the Town-hall, and instructions were given to assemble again this morn- ing. To the credit of the good and true Meu of Birmingham," about 3,000 of the tradesmen are enrolled, aud the attendances, when called upon, have been prompt and numerous. Last night the mob, in obedience to the directions of their leaders, changed their place of meeting from 1 lolloway-head to Smith- field, where they were addressed by Fussell and Powell, of Birmingham, Neeson, of Bristol, and other revolutionary orators. About 2,000 persons occupied the Horse-market, and the inflammatory language used by the speakers was received with vehement applause. Threats of physical force constituted the burden of the several orations which were delivered, and Fussell announced that the peace of the town was not to be attributed to precautionary steps taken by the magistrates, but to his (Fusseil's) forbearance. This is the personage who some time ago said, if he was taken into custody Birmingham should be re- duced to ashes. The meeting broke up about 10 o'clock without committing any acts of violence. The magistrates, considering that the time of action had now arrived, in the course of the evening issued warrants against four of theringleaders. At half-past 12 o'clock Messrs Boulton and Clive. the constabtet of the town, together with Mr George Red fern, tllecbief of police, and Messrs Palmer, Spittle, and Hall, the officers, divided themselves in parties, and went in search of the offenders. Mr Redfern, accompanied by Palmer, first visited the Red Lion, in the Bull-ring, a public-house which for some weeks past has been the notorious resort of the delegates. Here they found the celebrated vindicator of Robespierre, Mr O'Brien, and Dr John Taylor, the. former of whom, supposing he was wanted, addressing the officers, said he was quite ready. Mr Redfern searched the house and premises, but the gentlemen already mentioned were the only members and abettors of the convention they found there. From this house they proceeded to a low coffee house in Freeman-street, where it was un- derstood several of the leading Chartists were domi- ciled. But here they were unsuccessful in finding the parties for whom they were in search- They found, however, four of the delegates to the convention now sitting in Birmingham in bed, and in the same room with one of them was a person who represented him- self to be a reporter for the Sun newspaper. In the mean time the constables, with Spittle and Hall, proceeded to the house of Brown, the notorious Bull- ring orator, situate in a court in Wittal-street, and while ihe officers were knocking for entrance Brown came up the entry, and was immediately secured, and, after being allowed permission to speak to his wife, he proceeded quietly in the sole custody of Hall the officer to the prison in Moor-street. This prisoner being safelv deposited, the police next proceeded in search of Fussell, and with some difficulty discovered him in bed in a house in l,i v k,ry -street. He at once admitted that he was the man of whom they were" in search; and, like his (tssociate Brown, with perfect willingness, walked off to the prison. Two other Chartists, against whom warrants are issued, the officers were unable to meet with. The arrests, as will be seen, were easily and quietly accomplished. We ought to mention that Inspector Field of theL divhioll, LOlldon police, aud Inspector Jenkins of the E division, were present at both arrests, and in the house of Fussell discovered a quantity of seditious correspondence from various members of "the Na- tion Convention." In one of the letters from Donald- son, franked by "Thomas Attwood, Esq., M.P. Fussell was in,trticte(i to urge the people to "act, aCI," be up and doing," &c. Sankey and Brown were amongst others of Fusseil's correspondents. Beitiif last Hight aware of what was about to occur, at an early hour ti!ii inoriiiii(,- I w;ilke(i round the town; and by 0 o'clock groups of persons were assembled in various parts, evidently acquainted with what had taken place, and conversing upon the probable result of the arrest. At 9 o'clock a large mob were collected in tile Ball-ring, and were addressed by various speakers respecting the arrest of their leaders. The will, announcement was read by one of them;— « CHARTIST ARREST. CONSPIRACY BY THE POLICE. Men of Birmingham,—-An attempt has been made bv an arrest of two of your delegates, and threats against others, to rouse you into a purtial outbreak. Be ca!m and steady, trust to the convention, and dis- appoint the malice of your enemies. All the London Chartists arc already liberated, and you have nothing to fear for your friends Brown and Fussell, if you do not injure the cause by a premature outbreak.. As soon as the charge against them is known you will be advised how to act. In the meantime they shall be protected. What is- to be the "ulterior measure" adopted I know not.

EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. At 10 o'clock, the Mayor, and Mr J. F. Lawrence, Mr W. Chance, Mr T. Bolton, Mr J. Walker, Mr T. Clark, Mr C. Shaw, Mr T. Bielby, Mr F. Clarke, and Dr. Booth, took their seat upon the bench. Colonel Thorn, the Commandant of tiie district, and Colonel Chatterton, of the Royal Irish Dragoons, were likewise on the bench. Mr Feargus O'Connor shortly after- wards made his appearance as legal adviser for the prisoners. Tile court was far from being crowded, and even the numbers who occupied the street during the examination were less numerous than might have been ex, expected. Edward Brown and Joseph Fussell were then placed at the bar, charged with having assembled tumultu- ously large numbers of the people, and uttering in- flammatory language, for the purpose of exciting violoncei to the great alarm of the inhabitants, and 71 against the peace of our sovereign lady the Queen. iNIr W. C. Chapman, surveyor of taxes, deposed that on the evening of the 21st of March, he was in the Bull-ring. There were probably 200 persons in the street. The prisoner Brown was there, and addressed the persons assembled. Mr Gem (the magistrate's clerk).-Wiiat was the language he used ? Witness said he was placed in a delicate situation, and perhaps the Court would allow him to read from a paper which her held in his hand. Mr O'Connor objected to the witness reading from the paper. It ought only to be used to refresh his meipory. The Magistrates decided that the witness, if he could swear to the contents of the paper, might read it as his evidence. The witness said, after returning home, he con- sidered the language he had heard, and it inaxle such an impression on his mind that lie could not sleep, and on the following morning he wrote down, from recol- lection, the language he heard Brown use. He was prepared to swear to the truth of his notes, except as to the order in which the language was used. It was as follows Our leader, Mr Thomas Attwood, called upon the Government the other night to strengthen the navy against the powers of the con- tinent, and he was received with sneers." The next was this: I can upon you all to do as I should do; arm yourselves and be ready, and then you will be prepared to meet vour enemies whether they come from France, or Germany, or Russia, or your own domestic tyrants." The next sentence was this:— I don't know how long you mean to bear the tyranny of the rich aristocrats, but I can tell you I mean to bear it very little longer —the man that docs consent to do it is a rank coward. Arm yourselves and be ready to resist your oppressors. Depend upon nothing but At mighty God and your own right arms. Gentle- men, you know the aristocrats have left you scarcely enough to support nature, while they are wallowing in wealth and luxury on their sofas, and rolling through the streets in their carriages; and if a poor beggar looks up to them and asks them for a trifle, they throw themselves back in tlwir carriages, & treat them with disdain an contempt." Then followed this expres- sinn; which the prisoner repeated several times during the. evening—" D-r-d scouudrels. They rely on the soldiers putting us down; but they won't, they are taken from among our own ranks; hut if we are united what can the soldiers d01 We have only to walk arm in arm, and we could trample 'em under our feet." This was followed by an allusion to.a flogging I lately given to a soldier, in which the speaker at- tempted to work up the feeliugs of his hearers, and from the state of the soldiers' feelings geuerally, to rely on their non-resistance. The prisoner then went oil to say, "The Whigs are greater scoundrels than the Tories-hypocrites, who under the pretence of liberty, have denied us ail our rights. We must demand our rights, and, if our aristocratic tyrants do not grant them, we must seize them by force of arms. They are violating the constitution every (I:iv; they are the enemies of the country, and we must arm ourselves to resist them. They may hang me lip at the rope's end if they like-J am ready to shed my hlood for the sake of posterity. Prepare voiirsulves with pikes, and muskets, and bayonets, midsworils, and be ready to fight for your rights aud liberties, whether your enemies are foreign ordomestic tyrants! Read Paine's Rights of Mart; I have, I say nothing about his theolog-ical works, but I agree with every word of what lie says in his Rights of Mart. 1 stand upon the rights ol itiv order; we. the working classes won't submit to the tvi-atiny of the aristocrats." Frequent allusion was made to the idea of retributive justice, conveyed in a threat against the enemies of the working classes. But the worst expression he heard was one conveying t he idea of their commencing the struggle by arms a sacred duty, succeeding in it, meeting the Almighty at the day of judgment, and receiving from him the fullest approval in the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," &c. Then there was another expression, "Let the aristo- crats make their laws, we, the working classes, vill make ours. We will do no work for them, and take care they shall have nothing to (if5 with our rights" Witness further deposed that he was present in the Bull-ring on the following evening, when he noted the following expressions, made use of by the prisoner Brown: NIY opinion of physical force, I have often told you. It is this-I believe we shall never get our rights without it." Then there wus a pause. I don't mean to wait much longer." As to universal suffrage, lie s;iid ;Nly opinion of universal suffrage is, that we shall get it in three months, though some think it will be three or four months; but if we do, it must be by force not persuasion." Then there waS another oxl)ressinn I'lle fellows in the House of Commons would do nothing for them if they could hclp il." .Nlr Gem.-I low were those expressions received? Witness. —With repeated cheers. The more violent, the more they were cheered. Cross-examined by Mr O'Connor.- Was not a re- porter, and never had been. Wrote his notes down the following morning; did not write them at the meeting. If he had not put the words down the fol- lowing morning, he should not have recollected them so accurately at the present time. Witness was in Birmingham in 1832. Had never attended any poli- tical meetings. Mr O'Connor.—What, did you never in that year see meetings equally as numerous and violent in their character? and (looking at the Bench of Magistrates) did you not see some gentlemen now present on those occasions ? Witiiess.-I never attended any of those political meetings. Mr O'Connor.—You are a child in politics. Stand down, sir; I shall want you again. Mr Robert Jenkins, inspector of the London police, was then called. The following is a copy of his depo- sitioii Oil Tuesday, the 14th day of May, between -even and eight o'clock in the evening, I and Charles Frederick Field were at Holloway-head, Birmingham, where there was a large assembly of persons, a mount- ing to several hundreds, and the prisoner, John Fussell and another person not in custody. J ohl) Fussell said A meeting will be held iu the Horse Market to morrow, and he hoped the convention would attend to give an account of themselves and their proceedings. As for himself, if the authorities or commissioners of the market refused to allow them to meet, they would go to the Bull-ring or the Town-hall. He eared not for the authorities; he knew they could not hurt him; he was only doing a public duty to the working men of Biriiiiiigllaln, and he would not flinch from it. They had paid for the Town lIall, it was a public place, it was their property, and they would have it, or any other phce they thought proper; if it were refused, they would repel force by force. What did he care for mayors or magistrates, for their pro- clamations, or their military, their special constables or their police, they dare not do any thing he would defy them." There was great cheering and huzzaing by the persons assembled during the delivery of this speech. Fussell said, at the end of his speech, that as til.- convention wished to meet there again on the following night they would do so, and arrangement would be made. Oil the following flight I and Field were at Holloway-head again, Thefl were several hundred persons present there, When we arrived Fussell wasaddressing them. Fussell said they would certainly meet in the Horse-market to-morrow. He did not care for tiie proclamations. If they, meaning the constables, laid lIold of him, he would repel force by force. "We find that Government are arresting the members of the convention one by one, and we are anxious to have others appointed to fill their places, and if they were arrested, a second con- vention would be lbrmod "j Fussell then said to the persons assembled, Will you stand by us?" and several hundred voices replied, We will, we will," and shouted and made a r r(,,it noise. The prisoner Brown was present at the meeting and said, I am glad to find that a second convention is to be formed, and that there is to he a meeting held in the market, where I wish it always had been. He also said he should be prepared, and if the police or any one else struck him he would strike them—won't you? To which the persons assembled cried out, We will, we will," and shouted and made great noise. On Thursday cvcllip, the 16th instant, I was in Sraith- field-market, where there were between G00 and 700 persons assembled. Fussell addressed the meeting, and, after reading from a paper called the Birmingham Jdvertizer, tho whole of the article headed Manifesto of the C-etioral Convention of the industrious classes," the fourth article of which he read twice to them, then said to them "Provide yourselves with arms, and act as the manifesto states." He also said, they had a right to meet at Smithfield, and would do so, let the consequence he wh^t it might. The authori- ties knew well they could not interfere, and he could assure them, that if the men of Birmingham were to unite, they need not care a d-n for their petty tyrants. He conjured them to protect the Convention; and if any of them should be arrested immediately to appoint others in their places. lie further said, there would be a meeting at the same place on the follow- ing night. Brown was present, and said be denounced the threats which had been made to him. He said, "Suppose we are interfered with, a,id the riot act be read, go away quietly." f||e p(.(,pieca|jPd out, VVe will see them damned first." He said, "Stop, let me finish my sentence. Aloct again to-morrow night, and don't come empty handed; Be prepared to repel force by force. We will sooneach them. I will be the flr3t to lead you, and the ta41. to leave you." This was received by the assembly with great cheering. I then left the meeting Mr O'Connor said, he should not ask the witness a single question- He regretted the prisoners had been so uncourteous to the authorities, but was glad Brown had advised the people to disperse if the riot act was read. Mr Charles Frederick Field, another Inspector of the London Police, deposed,—I accompanied Robert Jenkins on Tuesday, the 14th of May, to a meeting at Holloway-head, where there were several hundreds of persons assembled. I have heard the account he has given this day before the magistrates, and it is cor- rect. 1 waS also at the meetings on the Wednesday and the Thursday, and the account given of such meetings, and the language used by the speakers, is correct. I accompanied the Birmingham police to apprehend the prisoners. Fussell we found in bed, and Brown we met in the street. In the house where we found Fussell I found 27 papers and letters, di- rected some to Brown and Fussell and others to a man named Donaldson, all of which I now produce. I will, if the bench permit me, read the letters. Mr O'Connor.-Oh, no; keep the letters. I shall have depositions taken you for perjury. Witness said he told tussell at the time he appre- hended him that he had no search warrant, and Fussell invited him to search. Witness wrote the notes pro- duced by Jenkins, and would swear to the correctness of them. Mr O'Connor.—When did you come down? Witness On Sunday. Mr O'Connor.—Who sent you ? Witness,— VVe were sent to protect the peace. Inspector Jenkins was again called and cross- examined by Mr O'Connor. Both prisoners strongly deuied the language im- puted to them. Mr Bray, solicitor, said he was instructed, on bebal f of Fussell, who declared that owing to excitement he had possibly used lanuage which he now regretted, and would promise not to be guilty of a siulilar offence again. He (Mr Bray) trusted that such a declara- tion would satisfy the magistrates, and that they would, under the circumstances, discharge his client Fussell, upon being called upon to say if lie would adopt the language of 1\Ir Aray, observed that lie would not pledge himself not to meet in the market- place, but again denied the language imputed to him. Mr Chance understood that fcussell pledged him- self not to attend a public meeting again. Fussell declined doing so; lie should not be acting like an Englishman if he did. The magistrates then retired, and after being absent a short time, returned. The Mayor said the magistrates were of opinion that in reference to both prisoners, the evidence was so strong and so clear, as to leave,, uo.dotibt that violent and inflammatory language was used; and that they should not be performing their, duty accord ing to the oaths they had taken, but, on the contrary, falsifying the oaths they had taken when appointed to the magistracy, if they did not send both prisoners for trial, It is, of course, understood that the offer- « was a bailable one; and, impressed with the conv j tion that the language used by Brown was mi. i stronger aud more violent than that used by Fnssi they should make adistinction between thetwocas s I The prisoners were then committed to take trials at the next Warwick Asssizes, and the required for Brown would be himself in X400, and two sureties in X200 each; for Fussell, himself in £ '20>), a no t'vo sureties in ^100 each. Mr O'Connor protested against the amount of bail required as being excessive, but the magistrates said •they had we'l considered the matter, and should not reduce it. They consented, however, to take for Brown two sureties in £ 100 each, instead of two in £ 200 each. Bail was immediately given for Fussell, and he was discharged, and Brown was removed into prison. STATE OF c.tiitiot refrain from adverting for an instant to one or two of the exagger- ations very justly the subject of complaint and censure on the part of our townsmen. I'he Sun states that on the afternoon of Friday "the town was in an alarming state of excitement, and that the members of the Convention, much to their credit, were exerting themselves to the utmost to prevent any outbreak"— "that Dr. Taylor met the people in the Bull Ring, and implored them not to resort to violence, but to leave every thing to the deliberation and discretion of the Convention"—" that if further arrests should be made, it would probably be no longer possible for the delegates and others who had influence over the people to prevent breaches of the peace, &c. All this, to persons on the spot, is as harmless as it isridiculous. Unless, however, the impression it may convey at a distance is contradicted, it may be productive of mis- chief. We repeat, and with increasing confidence, that however the population of this town may run after and listen for a time to the speeches of such men as the members of the Convention, they know too well their own interests and duties, to place all their com- fort and hopes in jeopardy at the temptation and bidding of any such advisers. Tho town is at this moment perfectly trriiquil, and we doubt not will contiuue so.-Aris's Birmingham Gazette of Monday.
