The Royal proclamation issued last week against illegal assem-
blies has had a good effect, and appears to have been generally obeyed. In Bristol and the neighbourhood, though the " Physical Force men" use menacing language, the midnight meetings have been stopped. Sonic of the more active Chartist leaders have been arrested ; in districts where disturbances were apprehended, detachments of regular troops have been stationed ; and in Mont- gomeryshire, where there had been some rather serious riots, all is now perfectly quiet.
