At the last mentioned bridge a large body of the city police were also posted, on side of the river.

Taylor, from one who has had ample opportunity to judge of, and duly appreciate his merits, and whose opinion on the subject is entitled lo the greatest weight.—N. O. Bulletin. Mnxico, April 8, 184S. General Taylor’s military exploits arc not the causes of his popularity, they are only the occasions for the display of bis sound judgment, energy oF character, lofty and pure sense of justice, and in corruptible honesty. He has as much reputation for what he has written as for what he has done, because, even if the composition is not his own, the senti ments, motives and feelings are his, and every thing he says, as every thug he does, is marked by the purity and great ness of of his own character.

As the cars advanced into the centre of the common, they were surrounded by a crowd which every minute became more dense, and who rent the air with their shouts. It was evident lhat the police authorities, having permitted the com mon to be occupied by so large a body ol the Chartists, had decided upon al lowing the meeting to be held without interruption and that it would be next to impossible to clear the common ofthe thousands now congregated there. Here a person approached the car and addressed Mr. O’Connor with a message from Mr. Mayae, one of the Commissioners of Police, requesting to have an interview with him before the commencement of the proceedings. Mr. Alayne announced to Mr. O’Connor that the authorities would uol object to the meeting taking place, but that the pro cession would not be permitted to pass over the bridges, that the Government were prepared with means of prevent ing it from taking place, and were Fully determined to use them if necessary.— Finally, that if the procession was per severed in, he (Mr. O’Connor) must take the responsibility of the consequences, whatever they might be. Mr. O’Con nor at once consented to do all that the Government wished,to abandon the pro cession altogether, and he gave his hand to Mr. Mayne, ns a pledge that he would do all in his power to induce the meet ing to disperse quiellj'. ' On the motion of Mr. Clark, seconded by Air. Adams, Air. Doyle was appointed president of the meeting, amidst very vociferous cheering.

O’Connor was;him self the first person to report the result of his meeting at the Home Office. At one o’clock he waited on Sir George Grey* f and after stating that the meetings had \ quitiy dispersed, expressed his thanks 1 to the Goverumet for the forbearance with which they had acted on the oc casion. t .....
