localities who mli shortly be called npon to eleci ; delegates to the forthcoming Convention . There are some few lists , however , which ire trust will no * be deemed irreTelant . Let the Chariists bear ; in mind thst if a majority of ** respectables" work ' much poative evil , a , few ailful and designing men , ; jn » y preTent nrach positive good . If it is intended ihii tie deliberations and conclusions of the forthcoming Convention shall iave dne weight with the entire ChartistJ body , it is desirable that they should bear with them , the unanimous approval of their representatives . And while
we TTonid of all things abstain from any ' unjust interference with the right of election * j we eannot abstain from cantioninj ? the people i against placing any reliance whatever in those who , are knows to have done all the mischief both ' locally and generally that their poor but best efidea-T 0 UT 3 were capable of effecting . We think thit j principle recommended by Mr . O'Coxxob . for the I government of the Chartist body in such cases is a * ris 8 and a good one ; the principle of each locality Tetarnirrg as its representative or representatives ; those ffho are esteemed from ciaracter rather thsn
recommended by loud profesapDs i men who when , they have performed the required services as delegates , will again return to thtir daily work . And in all cases we wonld guard the Chartist body against i the folly of electiDg strangers who cannot cemmand the respect of their neighbours . They may rest assured that that man is in the proudest position j who can command respect and support -in his own ' : locality ; aad that if he does not merit and deserve ; that respect and support at home , he is not entitled to it abroad ; and ihe return of such a person by a , strange consiitnsney is a direct insult apon those j whos » judgment could not be warped by deceitful '
proiessioii 3 . We rejoice to learn from all quarters that the working classes have set themselves to work in good earnest ,. so aB to ensure a perfect representation of the Chartist body , and a proper plan of Organisation for their future government . We beg to direct the aiuntion of the Colliers to the Bill lately before Parliament , which we published the week before last , and which professes to be ^ A BUI for enlarging the Powers of Justices in
determining Complaints between Masters , Sercunts , and Artificers , mid for the more effectual Recovery of TTagts before Justices : a . Bill , ¦ which although withdrawn for the present , for the purpose of clearing the way for it by the repeal -of several other acts of Parliament will be again brought before the Horjse , and passed into law if cot resisted . The Colliers Ehould therefore adopt means for ensuriBg the opposition of all xcKnbers over wtom they can exercise any countrol , and ea " pecially of "friend" Bright , _ LP . for Durham .

CHAETIST ELECTORS . Tee recent division of the Court of Common Pleas , whereby the right of franchise of all lodgers jiay ing four shillings per veek , or any weekly por-Uon qf rsnt which , in the aggregate , trill amount to j £ 10 a year , has bten affirmed , must , if vigorously acted npon by the Chartist body , place at their disposal at the next general election , a power , which if properly wielded , may ensure such a representation for oar principles , in the Hous « of Commons , as most speedily lead to success . M AH is not gold that glitters" however ; neither art we to imagine that an unopposed nse of this power will be permitted to the Chartist body ; bnt we are convinced
ihat a proper use made of it will constitute Chartism the balance of potcer" in many cities and twroujjhs . This system of establishing an electoral power for ourselves , independently of any constrained coalition tcith any other political party , would be much to our taster and to bring it into practical operation shall occapy much of our attention . It is , in fact , a step in advance , the ultimate effect of which cannot be immediately calculated upon . It is however , a question so large and embracing , that we must defer further commentary , until our space will permit of a full enquiry into the mode and manner by which due effect can b » given to the important decision .

HORRIBLE BUTCHERIES I > SPA 1 > . We save not space to do more than direct attention to the Spanish news which will be found in our sixth page , confirming the intelligence given last week , of the fall of Alicant , and adding an account of the horrible butcheries which hav * been perpetrated by the miscreant Ro ^ cali on the unfortunate Boset and 23 of his faithful followers . Our readera will see that the lion-like Bosbt was overcame , not by force , but by treachery . The Commandant of the Castle of Alicant , by name Lasilla , whose life Bonet had spared at the breaking out of
the insurrection , having sold himself and the town to Ro > cm for 75 , 000 dollars . Bwtet having discovered the plot , made hi 3 escape , accompanied by ft number of his officers , but was pursusd and captured ; and without even the formality of a trial , Bho ^—murdered in cold blood ! ! " All of them pui to death by shooting in the lack , to add to the ignominy of the punishment f bo says the ruffian RoJCAii . We beg our readers to particularly mark the hideons cant about " the Almighty , " not forgetting the u Queen" and " throne" for whom , and in whose names these atrocious murders are perpetrated .
Let the readers also to mark well that it is to rapport the power and prolong the reign of Qaeensj Pr iests , F ^ nd-lordSj and military adventurers ^ that these diabolical deeds are done , and Spaia tamed into an Aceldema of blood and crime . Fund-lords say these assassinations are " necessary ;* ' soldiers do the work of murder ; the Child-Queen thanks them ; and the holy hypocrites , the Priests , smile approbation of the bloody deed . The natural con-Bequence must be , the more rapid downfal of institutions and orders which are supported by snch
atrocious mean ? . The long reign of priestcraft in Spain may have so far brutalized the people of that country as to render them unfit for freedom ; and Spain in that case may be doomed to a rpeedy return to barbarism , —a csnEumm&tion which , judging by the savage deeds there enacted would appear to be not far distant- But whatever may be the fate of Spain , one thing 03 certain—that , throughout every portion of enlightened Europe , the masses will be stimulated to hasten the end of a system which can prodnce a Sast ± l 2 and a Roscau . These horror Sj the work of
" Tbe hired bravoes that defend a throce , " must greatly accelerate the march of Republicanism , S 2 d hasten the destruction of the pests , royal and priestly , who have loo long cursed this earth with their blood-stained rale .

Gilligan , Jaa Gilligan , and Cariitphr Gilligan , were arraigned for tbe murder of John Fuller , which took place at or near Ballycumber , on tbe evening of the 2 Sth of August last . The Solicitor-General stated the case vtry briefly , » nd then called "witnesses .

TrLLAMOBE , JlABCH 13 TH . —MtBDER OP MB . GaTCHEIJ- —Tbe trial of Thomas Dowling , for the murder of Mr . Gitcbell , was returned this morning . After th « examination of several witnesses for tbe Crows , Mr . M'Donough addressed tbe jnry on the part of the prisoner . Tbe jury retired at a few minutes to seven o ' clock , and , after an absence of an hoar and a quarter they returned to their box , with the issue paper in their hands . The unfortunate prisoner regarded the whole proceeding with uncommon firmness , and when the fatal announcement of guilty was made by the foreman , be still maintained his self-possession for same moments , and then shed a tear , without evincing any extraordinary emotion . Tbe Learned Judge then put on the black cap ; the court was very imperfectly
lighted , and had a most sombre appearance . Tbe horror and solemnity of tbe scene was increased by the screams of women outsice and tbe Bobbbing of a wretchedlooking old man , sear the prisoner , who was his father . Tbe Learned Judge then told tbe prisoner that he could boid out do hope wb&leier to him . He believed be was prompted to tbe commission of the crime by strong resentment against his landlord , founded upon equally strong BSeeiitiD for his own parents and family ,-whom he believed that landlord treated with some cruelty . But tbe laws of God asd the goad of bis country required that those who Bet the fatal and deadly example of taking the law into their own bands and sacrificing human life to atone for some real or supposed wrong , should suffer the penalty of death . The people should be taught that if they bad disputes with their landlords , or those who were agents to the property on which they
resided , they were not to become judges in thair own case , or attempt to remedy any evil they had to complain of by tbe perpetration of crime . His lordship , in the most feeling manner , passed tbe awful sentence of death ¦ upon the wrttch « d culprit . Wben he heard it pronounced , be declared , in a strong and clear voice , withcut evincing the slightest hesitation , that he was wholly innocent of the murder « f Mr . Gatchell . He knew be was to die , and be waa perfectly prepared to meet bis fata And then , turning to tbe jury-Jbox , he aaid— " Gentlemen : if the same degree of mercy be . shown to you in another world that you have shown me in this , 1 rcn tell you that you -will have little to hepe for . " Tbe wretched man was then removed to the gaol under a strong escort of police , amidst the wailing asd lamentations of bis friends wao surrounded tbe

The Judges present were tbe Lord-Justice-Clerk , Lords il 2 ckeiz ; e and iloncritff . About ten o ' clock , Bryce was put to the bar . He is a middle-siz ^ d , stout-built man , apparently about fifty-flve years of age . The Lord Cbisf Justice Clerk ' s question , be answered firmly and distinctly—2 iot Guilty . The evidence , which was wtirhy circumstantial , consisted of tracing a considerable sum of money into the possession of the prisoner immetliatdy after tbe period of the murder , when he had bttn just before in want , as well as some of Geddes ' a property , including a watch and s pair of shoes ; and of tracking him to different places where be was seen twth before and after the mnrder . This part of tbe evidence could scarcely , we fear , be made
intelligible to onr readers without the little map with which the report ef the trial is accompanied in the Caledonian Mercury . " We forbear , therefore , to copy tbe tTideiice . Tbe whole of Tuesday was occupied in examining witnesses , and on Wednesday the Solicitor-General for Scotland addressed the court for the prosecution . Brjce was ably defended by Mr . Crawford . His speech prodnctd considerable sensation . Lord Moncreiff highly complimented the counsel for tbe panel , . Sir . Crawford , who laboured for a vsrdict of not proven , and said that the defence was one of the most beart-stiriing and elt-quent speeches that be had ever beard . —The Jury , after an absence of nearly an hour , returned with a verdict unanimously finding the prisoner guilty as libelled .

SPAIN . Mobe Butchery . —On the same day on which the horrid Bcene took place at Alicant , a somewhat similar tragedy was enacted at Lugo , where the partisan Chief , Castrovilar , and three of his companions , were shot by order of one of her Majesty ' s superior officers . ¦ The English and French Consuls had left Carthagena for JEscombieraj with the intention of saving the lives of those that might fall into the hands of Roucali . Letters from Madrid , of the 12 th , state that a conspiracy , in which Beveral officera and non commissioned officers of tho garrison were implicated , had been discovered at Valencia .
PORTUGAL . Our intelligence from Portugal , up to the 12 th instant , bears out the accounts , given in our former communications , of the grave nature of the disturbances which have sprung out of the military revolt at Torres Nova . A commotion of a formidable character , connected with the objects of the Almeida leadera , broke out in the University of Coimbra on the 8 th instant . The students , in revolt , had possession of the town for two hours , attacked
the troops , and made a prisoner of the civil governor . They were finally routed by the military . The fugitives were supposed to have effected a junction with a Guerilla party ; at three or four leagues distance from Coimbra . The couriers with the Government correspondence have been robbed by tho banditti , which have : Bprung into fxistence in tho province of Beira and upper part of Estremadura ; and the Government evidently feels the importance of thiB new feature in the disturbance of the peace of the country .
At Almeida , the force under Bomfim remained in undisturbed possession of the town , the Commanders of the Queen ' s iroopa , in front of it , still waiting for the arrival of the artillery . An attempt was made by the Administrator of Police to have a Portuguese subject seized on by a posse of his police , on board the Peninsular Steam Company ' s packet , the Lady Mary Wood , on the 5 th instant . The person demanded was suspected of being engaged in the early proceedings of the disaffected , and the summary proceedings were adopted by Senhor Jose Silva Cabral , of attempting to have the man taken from under the folds of the British flap , by the effect of an application , backed by a display of police force and of menace , which produced , as it may be supposed , no effect . The dogs of despotism were very properly set at defiance ; and the passenger reached this country in safety .

( Continued from our Eifklh pege . j Sir R . Peel claimed credit to tho Government for disinterestedness in the course now taken by them . If he thought that tho effect of the proposal would be to increase the comforts of the Tvorkiug people , he should be favourable to it ; but he could not anticipate such a result . He was told to disregard commerce in a question of humanity ; but he felt himself bound to regard commerce by reason of the way in which humanity was affected by it . Hs- could not fort-et the sufferings of 15 , 000 people at Paisley iii 18-42 from tbe depression of commerce . When times were bad , the manufacturer was expected to keep bis people at work , though at low wages to them , and perhaps at a loss to him ; when demand revived , and there was a chauce both for master and
labourer to fetch up the loss , your law would interpose and forbid them from redeeming themselves . 1 c was a mistake to suppose that a day ' s labour lasted loug * eT in factory employment than in t mployments of other kinds . If , indeed , this proposal were intendei but as the commencement of legislation against a ll hardships and for all labour , he could understand it ; but it was not just to interfere with labour of one kind unless you could reg » - late labour of all kinds , agricultural and domcbtio labour included , which was beyond the reach of any human legislation . And believing that the measure of tbo Government—the limitation to twelve hours—was all that could be safely effected , he could not , and he would not , however his feeling might tempt him , consent to the motion of the Noble Lord .
Lord Jon * Russell said , that on a subject involving the interests of myriads of the people , he should bo ashamed to be influenced by any ftar of being charged with inconsistency . Lord Ashley's speech had not convinced him ; but those of other gentlemen , practically acquainted with the subject , had done much to clear the way . Sir Robert Peel ' s argument went too far : it went to show the uiifitness of any legislation . If a restriction was necessary for the physical and moral health of women and young persons , it was no sufficient objection to
that restriction that its effuci would be to restrict also the labour of adult males ; tbe priuciplo of restriction , if once adopted , ought to be followed out in a manner effectual for tho health of its objects . He had be ^ n much struck with the fact ihat masters , practical men , were petitioning for a Ten Hours ' Bill . He would vote for the motion of Lord Ashley . Mb . Hindlet followed in favour of Lord Ashley ' s motion . Ho spoke as a practical man , not afraid of the consequence of tbe proposed limitation , la hk opinion the only sure aud safe remedy was by legislation .
After a few words from Mr . Collett , Mr . Hardy , and Mr . Muntz , Lord Ashley said that , after the indulgence he had already received from the House , ho should evince great ingratitude if , at this late hour , he made any lengthened observations . He would say , however , that if he should be so happy as to succeed in carrying tbe amendment he had proposed , he would be ready to concur with the Hon . Member for Leeds in introducing the limitation of time gradually . ( Hear , hear . ) They might take off one hour from the present period of work now , and another , gay in 1 B 46 . Ho wished also to add that he had never condemned the factory system as a system ; because he was convinced that , under due regulations , ia such mills as he had seen , the system might be made conducive to tbe happiness of the people , and to the permanent prosperity of this great country , ( cheers . )
The committee then divided , when the numbers appeared—For tbe amendment 179 Against it ... 170 Majority against Ministers ... 9 The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheere . During our exclusion from the gallery , we understand Mr . Collett ( Athlone ) moved the insertion of the word " six , " for eight o ' clock in the second clause , and The Committee again divided , when there appeared— For the motion 153 Against it 161
Majority 8 On our readmission we found Sir J . Gbaiiah addrvsing the House . The Right Hon . BaroDet spoke-as follows : —The decision to to which the committee has just come is virtually the adoption of a Ten Hours' Bill without any modification . To that decision , with all possible respect for the committee , I have insuperable objections , but still I do not think it consistent with my duty , in the present state of tbe measure , to drop the Bill—( hear , hear ) . There will be an opportunity of reconsidering this question in a form more substantive than discussedWhen
that in which it has at present been . we come to the eighth clause , the Noblo Lord the Member for Dorsetshire will then , consistently with the decision of the committee , move the substitution of ten hours for twelve . Having made this announcement to tho committee , it will now on the whole be tbe best that I should move that the Chairman report progress , aud ask leave to sit again on Friday next . The House then adjourned . Tne following are the names of the majority and minority that vottd for , and against Lord Ashjey's Amendment : —

Tuesday , Maech 19 . factories bill . Mr . Laboichere said that it would probably not bo thought that he took au inconvenient step if he begged to ask the Noble Lord , tho Member for Dorsetshire what were his intentions in regard to the amendment npon a clause in the Factories Bill which had been adopted last night ? Lord Ashley said—It ia my most sincere and ardeut desire to make any sacrifice of personal feelii > £ , in order to do what may to the utmost conciliate my opponents , and render the amendment it was my good fortune to carry as little objectionable as possible . This morning I bad an interview with five or six considerable manufacturers , and likewitse with several operatives , who represented the feelings of the operative manufacturing classes . I
proposed to them a plan which I am about to state to the House , and 1 am happy to say that it met ' their entire and hearty approval . On Friday next ! I shall take the liberty of intreating the House to ( affirm tho ten hours' limit , by the substitution 1 of the word " ten" for " twelve" in clause eight of I the bill . Should the House affirm that proposition , I will prepare a clause which shall eaaot that the present duration of labour , twelve hours , shall continue from the time at which we may pasfi the clause for six months , that is , till the 1 st of Oef . ober ia thia year . This will give six months' not ) ce before any change takes place . From the 1 st o / . October , this year , the period of labour I purpo se shall fall to eleven hours , and continue at that r j , te for two years or till the 1 st ofOotober , 1846 , v / hen the period of ten hours' labour shall commence . This , he thought , would give ample time to test the experiment , and

during tho course of thaUjtfp . should any mfseni'rt rise out of the enactment , the house would have tha toeans in its own hands ; of preveatiug the clause i ^ om running away with the interests of the nation . He should be prepared [ with the clama the day before the Housejtvent into committee , that Honourable ? ,: tembcrg mfght see the precise wording of the proposition he intended to ! make . Sir Jiitia Gbaham said that , though it was not quite reguJar on his part to address the House , perhaps he should be pardoned if he said a few words . In the first place , it was most desirable that the House and the country should understand that ho and her Majesty ' s Ministers had now heard for the
first time the proposition ' s which the Noble Lord ( Lord Ashley ) h . td expressed his intention of submitting to tho Committee ;; but he ( Sir J . Graham ) had no hesitation ia coming to the conclusion that it would be his duty , on Friday next , to resist the motion of the Noblo Lord , ; and to take the senso of the House upon the preposition of substituting " ten hours" for " twelve " . He might be permitted to add , with respect to the i further proposition which the Noble Lord contemplated making , that the scope of that proposition had not removed , in tbe least , the objection which' he ( Sir James Graham ) had urged against the othor proposal , and it would be his dutv to resist it .
Mr . Kicardo brought on his motion respecting commercial treaties . He mo ve « l— " That an humble address bo presented to her Majesty , praying that her Majesty will be gracioutdy pleased to give directions to her servants not to enter into any negotiations with foreign powers wnich would make any contemplated alterations of the tariff of the United Kingdom contingent on the alteration of the tariff j of other countries ; and humbly expressing to her Majesty the opinion of this Houp . e , that the great object of relieving tho cpmmerciat ratercourse between this country and foreign Btyionsr from all injuriouB restrictions will be . best promoted by regulating our own cuetoms' duties as may be most suitable to the financial and ; commercial interests of this country , without reference to tha amount of dutioa which foreign powers may think it expedient for their own interests to levy on British goods . "
The motion was seconded by Mr . Ewart , and opposed by Mr . Gladstone ; Lord Howick delivered a lengthy speech , and wasifollowed by Mr . Hume . While he was speaking , a motion was made that the House be counted , and forty members not being present ( there were thirty-nine ) , an adjournment took place . ;

Horrible Murder atINewcatle . —Newcastleon-Tyne , Thursday . —The inhabitants of this town were thrown into a state of great excitement this morning , by a rumour that a tragedy similar in many of its main featurosHo the savings-bank murder , which created so great a sensation throughout the country some time since , had been perpetrated . On inquiry it was ascertained that a lemalo had fallen a victim to her husband , and that tho life of tho latter was precarious , from bis having taken poison after committing the barbarous act . It appears , from the statement of a female , named Ann Grant , a cousin of the murdered woman , that she came over to Newcastle from Gateshead , where she
lives , about eight o ' clock : in the morning , to call upon tha parties , when she was met on ihe stairs loading down to the apartment where they lbed , whioh was the ground floor of a tenanted bailding , by the husband of the deceased , who said his wire had gono out to call on aj Mrs . Richardson , in the Castle Garth . Grant went to Richardson's , and found the deceased had not been there ; on leaving which she went homo and had a cup of tea and then returned . She then found the door locked , and knowing that the husband had often threatened violence to his wife she procured a duplicate key of the door , and on opening the door , she paw the woman and her husband stretched upon the floor . She instantly alarmed the neighbours , and fortunately a
surgeon , Mr . Carr , was passing at the time , and he rendered immediate ussistanco . The woman had been dead two hours at least , and the man was totally insensible from intoxication . The usual remedies were applied to the man , and persevered in for upwards of three hours before he could bo pronounced out of danger . ¦ On examining the ptemises , a still was discovered , and a considerable quantity of material in various stages of preparation , besides some whisky , which had doubtless been manufactured by the parties . Oa clearing out tho fire which had been lighted , two razor blades were found , and the woman ' s throat bad been cut from ear to ear . The bed-clothes ware tied up in a bundle , aud the bedstead taken down ; aad it is conjectured that the man and Wumaii having quarrelled ,
the Jatter had made up her mind to leave , aad had made these preparations in pursuance of that intention . Sho seems to have made considerable resistance , her hands being cut j in two or three places , [ and ihero being two distinct wounds in hor nock , one more obliquely than the other . On the man recovering sensibility , he raised himself up and looked in the direction towards the murdered woman , although he affected to be ignorant of , and indifferent to , his situation . The man ' s name is Monk Sherwood , ho was formerly in the Royal Artillery , and has been married to his unfortunato wife nearly i thirteen year 9 . * ) HoKRIILE MuiiVKR AT ( WeDNESBUUY , STAFFORDSHIRE . —The ) followmg is an extract of a letter ,
received by a friend , from Wednesbury , in Stafford- shire , this morning : — ' * We have been startled ' from our usual quiel here yesterday ( Saturday ) , by one of the most daring and horrid murders 1 have ' ever read of . It was committed , it is supposed , J about half-past tea to cloven o ' clock yesterday morning , at the house of John ( Jrowther , Etq ., j who lives at Oakswell ; End in this town , the I unfortunate victim being tho house-keeper of j that gentleman , a female of about thirty-eight years of age . Tho crime seems to have been committed first by beating her about the head , apparently with a hammer or axe , and then cutting her throat , or rather sawing it to the bone with a desert knife . The murder was not discovered uutil two o ' clock , and no conjecture can yet be formed who the miscreant is . —Suiiy Monday . ;
Seed Potatoes . —Ought they to be cut , or i planted whole 1—I am inithe habit of planting five or six acres of potatoes yearly , and for the last two : years I have planted the greate / part with whole j potatoes , and find they produce as good crops as with cut sets ; with this advantage , I have scarcely a potato misses growing , whereas in cut sets I have ofen had a great loss from dry rot . When taking ' up the general crop , I pick out my seed potatoes of a ; uniform siz-i , each weighing one ounco aud a half . I plant them in rows two feet , apart , and one foot in the row , and have had exceedingly good crops . — Agricultural Gazette .

HORRIBLE CALAMITY . . EXPLOSION OP THE PRINCETON ' S GREAT CUW . Death of the Secretary of Slate—of the Secretary of the Navy — of Commodore Kennon — of Virgil Maxy—of Mr . Gardner , of N . Y ., $ c . $ c . The following frightful intelligence we obtain from an eye witness : — To-day the Princeton made another excursion , having on board several hundred guests , who bad been invited by Captain Stockton , including members of the Executive , of Committees of Congress , members of both Houses , aud several hundreds of ladies .
The ship proceed down the river below Mount Fernon , and on its return , when in about twenty minutes' run of Alexandria , the large gun . on the bow was fired , it being the second or third time it had been discharged with ball , and the usual service eharge , and , exploding at the breech , spread death and destruction on the deck 1 Among the victiEii , are those named above . It is said several of the gunners , crow , &c , belonging to the ship , were killed or mortally wounded , and several others are missing . The breech of the gun was severed , and carried away tbe bulwark of the ship opposite to it . It was the iron fragments , it is supposed , vrhieh struck down so many on board , and who could not have been behind the gun . Captain Stockton
we learn , is among the wounded , but it is thought ho is not seriously injured . Colonel Ben ton was likewise injured . We understand that nono of the iron fragments struck him , but that the concussion stunued him severely , as well as several others . The accident took place , about sunsbt . A steam-boat from Alexandria , which was passing , was sent back to town , and returned wish several surgeons . The Princeton yet lies at anchor at tho place where the frightful accident occurred , with the bodies on board . Most of the guests have arrived in the city The President of tho United States , who was on board at the time of the explosion , but who escaped unhurt , remains with tbo bodies on board . We understand the Princeton will come up in the
morning . Further Particulars . —Half-past ten o ' clock . —I . hare thia moment conversed "vith a Mr . E - liott , who has just come from the Princeton . He s ' -ates that there are only six killed in all . Judge Upsher , Governor Giliner , Colonel Gardiner , N . Y . Virgil Maxy , late Charge . Cominodvre Kennon . A coloured boy named Henry the President ' s servant . Captain Stockton , although badly hurt , it is thought will recover . He was standing at the butt of the gun when it exploded , and a piece of it went on each side of him—his face is much burned , receiving the whole flash of the powder . CoSonol Gardner had both arms and both legs blown tfi ! . Maxy ' s arm was blown off clean by the shoulder . Commodore Ivjnnon had one leg and one arm blown off .
There were about twelve or fourteen sailora wounded , but Mr . Elliott says it is thought they will all recover . Mr . Gilmour was killed by a fragment striking him on the forehead . Mr . Upsber's legs and arms were broken , and his bowels blown out . They all died instantly , but the President ' s servant , who * 'lived about ten minutss , but never 6 poke however . Commodore Kennon gave but one sigh . The bodies are to be brought up to the city at twelve o ' clock to-morrow . Additional Particulars from the Boston Con Her , March 1 st . —The editor of the Boston Times , who was ono of the visitors on board , writes a letter to his paper , from which we take a few extracts . * * * *
Mr . Benton immediately after the affair , complained and suffered much from the effect of the explosion , but I did not see , when I left the boat , that he was seriously hurt . Mr . Tyson had one of the pieces of tho gun passed directly through bis hat . The gentlemen killed were all standing upon the leeward side of the gun , nearly in a row , and when the gun bursted , tha pieces went in their direction and killed them instantly—not a groan was heard to escape their lips . The President , but a moment previous to tho discharge very fortunately left its vicinity . As the dense smoke cleared away , Captain Stockton was discovered with his hair and face scorched , and his dross covered
with powder . He jumped with onesprins to the top of his gun , aud exclaimed ?* M y God ! Would that I were dead too ! " He was immediately handed down and conveyed to the cabin , and a more heartbroken man I never saw . He is to be pitied for tha calamity , though ho is in nowise to blame , for it has resulted , as I will now state , from causes over which he could have no controul . It would be impossible for me to describe to you the distressing scenes that followed the accident , for I am entirely inadequate to tho task . Tne living will suffer more than the dead . Mrs . Gilmer immediately heard of the awful fate of her husband , and " would not be comforted . " She groaned dreadfully , and
presented a striking picture of a heart-struck , desolate woman . Miss Upshur was also on board—but her sufferings I did not witness , as she remained in the cabin . Judge Upshur has a wife aud three or four children to deplore his sudden death . The Secretary of War , Mr . Wilkins , had a narrow escape ; he was standing near to Judge Upshar just before the discharge , and remarked that " if he was Secretary of War , he did not like the noise , and would therefore move a little out of the way , " and just as he moved the gun exploded . One of Senator Woodbury ' s daaghters ( the eldest I think ) was standing so near
to tho persons killed , that her dress was completely pattered over with blooi . Her escapa was truly miraculous , as was also that of others in the immediate vicinity of the gun . When the accident happened I was in the cabin , listening to a patriotic song from one of the company , and as ho was singing the word Washington , the gun fired , and , said one of the gentlemen , " there goes the big guu in honour of the name—let us also give three cheens to it ; " —but the cheering had hardly commenced before the fatal event was made known , and ail were silent as death . But I have not room to mention tho
thousand incidents that occurred , and are connected with the eve , nt—and must reserve them for another opportunity . Heabt-resimkg Occurrence—the Asylum fob the Poor burned to the Grobnd !—ten op the Inmates consumed in the Flames!!—It is our painful dmy to record ono of the most distressing occurrences that ever took place upon the Island of Nantucket , and we sincerely pray that we may never be culled upon agaiu to note one attended w ith like consequences . About tiro o'clock on the morning of Wednesday , February 21 st ., a fire broke out in the Asylum for tho Poor , some eight miles from town , aud ia the course of two hours , the
building was burned to the ground , bo rapidly did the fire spread , that those in the house were unable to save any of their effeots—and awful to relate , ten of the inmstes wero burned to death . One of thoso burnt ( Lydia Bowen ) had carried her child to a place of safety , and returned to try to save something , but did not herself again escape the devouring flames . Tfcere were fifty-nine parsons ia the , house , besides the family of . Captaiu Timothy Bunker , the keeper . Captain B . lost all his effects and forty dollars in money . There were eighteea of the paupers bed-ridden—one of them , we wera told , had not walked for about twenty years . — Naw York Sun . March 2 .

At a meeting of the members of the National Charter Association , on Monday evening last , it was unanimously agreed " That Mr . Samuel Yardley nud Mr . F . A . Taylor be put in nomination as fit and proper persons to represent the Chartists of this town in the I forthcoming Convention , to be held in Manchester on , the 15 th of April next . "— ' * That a public meeting be held In the Chartist Room , Greave ' s-street , on Monday , j April 1 st , 1844 , for the purposeof electing two efficient i persons as delegates to the above Convention . " i On Tuesday evening , a general meeting of the shareholders of tbe Working Men ' s Hall Association took place in tbe above room , when the following resolution was passed by a majority : — " That the direc- i tors advertise for estimates , and let the work connected , with the building ; as eavly ks possible . " ' MANCHESTER . Carpenter ' s Hall . It
having betn announced by placard that Mr . James Leach would doliver a lecture in the abeve hall on Sunday evening last , in Which he would comment i upon the gross inconsistencies of the League agita- j tore , tho spacious buiidiijg was densoly crowded . The proceedings commenced with singing a Chartist hymn . The article entitled ; " the Leaguo defied" was ; then read from the Ndrthern Star , and was , listened to with great attention by the audi- ; ence , who at tho conclusion manifested their approbation by repeated cheers . When order was ¦ restored , the chairman introduced Mr . Leaoh , who on comiug forward was greeted with a cordia ! wel- j come . Mr . Leach , after expressing his gratitude for of the ! estimation in which he
so many proof ' s was held by his Manchester friends , said he should ' take as his subject the expression made use of by ! Cobden at a recent meeting of the Leaguers . That j gentleman , seeing tho police very active in ejecting ; personB who ventured to express their disseut from i Free Trade fallacies , cried out at the top of his voice J " feel in their pockets . " Now , said Mr . Leach , there is a great deal of meaning in tho words of Cob- ! den ; and ho and his colleagues have carried on the ( system to such an extent , that they oanuot forget the propensity even at their ticket meetings . If a poor ' weaver happen to overlay himself in a morning , ! so as not to be at the mill when tho bell announces ; the hour for commencing another day of toil , the ; principle of '" feel in his ; pockets" is fully deve- ! loped , and threepence or [ sixpence , or in some in- ¦ stances a shilling is deducted from his earnings . If the manufacturers , especially that portion ofj them who are identified with the League agitation , i
trunk proper to give a sum ot money for what they i term charitable purposes , '' feel in their poekets" is . the order of the day ; and a reduction of wages is sure to follow . Mr . Leach went oa in this strain ; for upwards of an hour , amidst roars of laughter ; and after declaring his entire approval of the conduct of the London Chartists in opposition to both Leaguers and Anti-Leaguers , sat down loudly applauded . Tho Chairman then vacated the chair , and Mr . John Sutton Was unanimously called thereto . " Great God , is Ithis the patriot ' s doom /' was ming , and a statement jof the sufferings of Joseph Linney , ia the Millbanki Penitentiary , was read from tho Star . A memorial to Sir James Graham was afterwards moved f by Mr . John Nuttall , seconded by Mr . Edward Clarke , and unanimously adopted by the meeting . ) A resolution was passed that the chairman should sign the memorial , and transmit it to Mr . T . S . Dunoombe for presentation to Sir James Graham . &R 4 the meeting broke op .
