CovEBsaEST Isieemest Bui . —A public meeting is held on Monday afternoon at the Craven Hotel , Craven-street , Strand , ofthe objectors to the protons of the Government Interment BflJ , for the POlKBeofconcladinwarrangeinentspreUminary to a future public meeting on the subject , when the "pandits chases should be considered at length . * £ James Wyld , M . P ., who was called to the Caair , condemned the bill , as tending to establish a S ^ t system of centralisation , as likely to tax the People tc an enormous extent , and to interfere with Ue rights of individual industry . The bill also r ^ yHed for the compensation of the metropolitan j *» gy , and as they would be legislated for by a iUUSt wouia aouut
----, : gentlemen no get a great "ealttore than they would if they were paid by a jwy of parishioners , and the inhabitants ofthe me-° ® Pohs would consequently be unduly and nnne-~* s > rfly taxed . "WhUst powers were given to the ^ d of Health , to compensate tbe clergy of the ^ aolBhed church , for the fast body of dissenters , "Ho had some Tested rights in burial grounds , no compensation was proposed . The bill did not really 8 * t rid of intramural interments , for faculties mi ^ ht « obtained to bury in vaults in freeholds even ° in ™ e metropolis ; Mr . Soden , Mr . Kicolay , Mr . -Mdrews , Mr . Healey , churchwarden of St . Pancrasj and other gentlemen , addressed the meeting . They extended that the bill ought to he strenuously rented ; tiafc parties ought to hare full control over twir own cemeteries ; that the new scheme was a P ^ s job from beginning to end ; that it would entirel y fail as a sanitary measure ; that it outraged
iwate feeling in a manner that was disgraceful to ^ eivilised country , and that itwould . be an inva-? f ? « f parochial rights . The intention of the foment to provide houses of reception for dead r ^ s previous to interment was tbe subject of a ^ pnened discussion , several gentlemen contending rj * . tte officers appointed by the Cfovernment A ^* bave the power of taking persons deceased Ij ^ tbe iott 8 e 3 of their relatives immediately after ** = « Bath was out of their bodies , to the annoyance g ?

GLORIOUS RESULTS OF UNIVERSAL , i ,,., SUFFRAGE . !! , . ' . . Bbother Pbolbxabiaks , I have often hefore advised you , that 'fhlessed are those who expect nothing , for verily they shall not he disappointed ; " and when , in my letter , published in the Star of the 20 th ult ., I appealed to the Parliamentary Eefonners to adopt the principles ofthe . People ' s Charter , and thereby rally to their standard , the working chwses pledged to support that measure in
its entirety , I had hut little hope that that appeal would have the wished for result . I was , however , scarcely prepared to anticipate so signal a failure as the Crosby Hall conclave proved to he . The shearing of swine is proverbially unprofitable ^ hutnot more so than calculating on an honest and energetic movement for reform under the leadership of Sir Joshua Walmsly and his friends . The whole history of the Crosby Hall conclave , may be summed up in a sentence : " Great cry and littlewooL "
I have denominated the persons who assembled at Crosby Hall , a " Conclave . " To the title of " Conference , " self-assumed , they had no claim . All popular bodies hitherto meeting under that name , have met together upon the authority of popular . election ; whereas the body tuiaer notice , consisted of a few members of Parliament ^ the members of the council ofthe National Reform Association , and a mob of lesser notorieties , who assumed the title of delegates , but who delegated themselves ,, or attended on the invitation of the council Without going through the entire
list , let me call your attention to the Metropolitan delegates . I find set down for London the following names : —Thomas Morland , W . N . Coupland , Thomas Clark , Philip M'Grath , Edward Miall { Nonconfoiinist ) , J . W . Linton ( Leader ) , Samuel Harrison , E . T . Salisbury ( Art Journal ) , i Daniel Carr , John P . Bowring , John Marchant , and , G . Kielle . By whom Thomas Clark and Philip M'Grath , and their fellow delegates were nominated , and when and where elected to represent London , the records of tiie Conference saithnot . If in the multitude of councillors ,
there is wisdom , the ' . ' great . Wen'' -was well provided for . In addition to Thomas Clark , Philip M'Srath , and Co ., representing all London (!); Aldersgate was represented by Edward Lane ; Bennondsey , by John Harris , Henry Harris , and Henry Elldngton ; Bishopsgate , by JohnHoppe , Henry Bateman , and William Volckman ; Bloomsbury , by Robert Langslow ; Bethnal Green , by Joseph Green ; Covent Garden , by Richard Burnet ; Cheapside , by J . C . Hardy ; ClerkenweD , by Wm . Farmer and A . W . Hurst ; Camberwell , by Wm . Edwards ; Hoxton ( St . John ' s ) , by Thomas Hall ; Hoxton , by William Fontaine , Rev . E . Vaughan , and James Baker ; Holborn , by William Dison , and Thomas Paris ; Islington , by George Foskett , John Jones ,
and J . W . Barker ; King ' s Cross , by James Bathgate and William Benbow ; Limehouse , and Poplar , by T . E . Bowkett ; Marylehone , by G . Beacon , J . A . Nicholay and B . Seaward ; Portsoken ward , by David Parker , J . G . Rhoads , and Thomas Rhoads Shadwell and Radcliff , by W . E . Corner ; Southwark , by Thomas Walker , and five others ; Shoreditch , by J . H . Pickford , and G . E . Boggis ; St . George's East ^ by T . S . Mcholls ; Stepney andBethnal-green , by J . Dean , and J . Hackman ; St . Luke's , by S . Allan ; Tower Hamlets , by William Kewton , and six others ; Westminster , by J . W . Bainbridge , and two others . I can understand that William
Dixqs represented the well-known "No . 144 , High Holborn , " but I have strongdoubts of his having been honoured with the suffrages ofthe shopocracy of that important thoroughfare . I can understand also that Thomas Clark , E s ^ ., and his friend M'Grath , represented as much of London as is comprised in the aforesaid " No . 144 . " To pretend that they represented anything beyond that , is an assumption as opposed to fact , as would beany pretence on their part to represent all Europe . The other gentlemen whose names I have here enumerated , base their claim to the title of delegates on a foundation equally groundless , and equally opposed to that right of . popular election , of which they assume to be the only wise and virtuous advocates .
Their mode of coming together might have been pardoned , had the labours ofthe " delegates " tended to unite the middle and working classes , for a real reform of the electoral system . That union was only possible by their adoption of the principles of the Charter . Hitherto the Parliamentary Reformers have been tolerated , but not supported by the working classes . By ignoring principles held
sacred by the masses , the Reformers , notwithstanding all their agitation , have failed to elicit the sympathies of those masses , and consequently have lacked both that moral and physical force which the toiling millions alone can . confer . The movement never has been national , nor is it likely to become so while its leaders eschew the princip le of Universal Suffrage , and thereby deny the political existence of a large section of the nation .
Instead of hastening to abandon the false policy upon which they have hitherto acted , the "Little Charter" men have deliberately chosen to persevere , in the vain attempt of seeking national support for sectional objects . The character of the conclave was foreshadowed , in the long address read by the President at the commencement of the proceedings . The intimation that the delegates had met , not for the purpose of deciding upon the nature and extent ofthe measure of Parliamentary Reform to be attained , but for the purpose of merely deliberating on practical measures , " for carrying
out a previously adopted scheme of representative improvement , " showed that the conveners of the Conclave had made up their minds to burke all propositions intended to make the movement really national , by , the adoption of democratic principles . This intimation was Mowed up by the election of a burking-committee " of seven gentlemen , appointed to arrange the business ofthe Conference . " Of the burking . doings of these ^ en / Zemen I shall speak presently . - The proceedings of the Conclave hore hut small resemblance to any " Conference' * that
I ever heard tell of . The bulk of its members , instead of deliberating , seem ito have , assembled principally for the purpose of listening to a few great guns , whose main theme was their own astonishing prowess and progress iri the great work of reform , The " unadorned elo quence" of Cobden—the modes * luminosity of Bright—the frigid expediency of Hume—and the superannuated twaddle of Colonel Thompson , were enlightened by the comph ' mentary factiousness of Messrs , Kershaw and Fox who flattered the " grave and reverend signiors "on their good looks and phrenological
del pelqpements 1 ! The latter gentleman also made a remarkable declaration , which must not be lost sight of , as it at once illustrates the character of his patrons , the millocracy , and enables yon to . forma just estimate ofthe worth bf bis advocacy of popular questions ) That declaration was to the following effect : — "That it was not to be . expected that the ' . ' wealthy would subscribe so liberally to the "funds of . the present movement , aa they did 'to the Anti-Cora I ^ wLeague , wh | pmanu" faxjtarers put ato ™ * n r fimdS & ^ toiaay , - "in tie hope of inai ^ g ^ i ^^ on ^^ BtO r " fflorrow ;' r rawt' ^^' y ^' my ' ffifflia ^

that the gentleman' who ' made : this ¦ *• aciknow-Iedgment , iwas the retame ^ adyo ^ te ; pf tnat League of MiUJofds , whose s ^ fisl ^ esshenbw unblushing !^ atows . ¦; You must Temember , that the much abused Chartists proclaimed the same truth , at a time when , for . the sake of his own «? big loaf , " this " round , fat , oilymariof Godj " was in the habit of holding up his paymasters asi model patriots ,, aiid fitted . by theu ; . civic and social virtues to be the ' saviours , of jEngiand from oligarchical misrule and landlord-thrall . There were some sensible things said by Mr . of
Dawson , Birmingham , whorepudiated , the cant about " protection to-property , ' ? and expressed his disgust at the reiteration of . the sham-alarms , consequent upon the f' Tenthof-April-Demonstration . " The Daily News reports Mr . Dawson to have said that " Haying conversed , with a farmer , who " threatened to lower the wages of-his la"bourers , he ( Mr . Dawson ) replied ; that he " hoped that if he did so , he would soon find " himself burned iri his bed . " I have no objection to join chorus with Mr . Dawson in
singing'As long as millions snail bow down , To ask of thousands for their own ; And thousands coldly turn away , And to the millions answer'Kay •* So long the fearful reign sniul be ' Of Captain Siting and his family . ' But I must whisper to Mr . Dawson that , if the torch is to be used to teach humanity to
employers of agi-icultural labourers , the same appliance might be used to enlighten the minds , and warm the hearts of those of the manufacturing districts , who are quite as ready as the bull-frog farmers to heap up wealth . by . buying labour in the " cheapest , " to ^ sell it in the "dearest market ; * ' thereby acting ! on the prime article of their Mammon-worshipping creed—" Lord loyeyou ! we . areall for ourselves in this world ! " .. ¦ . ;'
'Resolutions in favour ofthe formation of local committees--the distribution of tractsthe employment of lecturer & i-the extension of Freehold Land Societi es- ^ the . preparation ; " of a " bill" embodying the association ' s scheme of reform—the formation of local registration and election committees , & c ., & c—were adopted by the " delegates . " These resolutions were all based on the assumptioh , ' that the association ' s programme of political principles was perfect , and had the sanction of the people ,. and , consequently , needed no amendment ; a fatal error ( if not something worse-than a mere error ) and surety for the continuance of popular apathy—so far , at least , as the c > little Charter" is concerned .
' In the course of the second day's sitting , Mr . Reynolds claimed the attention of the conclave to state that he had submitted certain resolutions to the " business ( burking ) committee , '' with the intention of moving their adoption , but that the committee had returned them with an intimation that they did not consider themselves competent to entertain them . Mr . Reynolds added , that he
" took it they were summoned there for the " purpose of a Conference ; : but as yet there " had not been a semblance of a Conference ; " and the idea of bringing some 180 gentlemen " together for the purpose of making and "hearing speeches , instead of deliberating , " appeared to him extraordinary . It was to " give practical effect to their meeting that he " begged to propose the two following resolutions : —
1 . That this conference is fully impressed with the force of the numerous practical objections to a suffrage based on a rating qualification , and especially recognises the flagrant impolicy and gross injustice of excluding any male adult from the exercise of that franchise which is a natural and rational right , inasmuch as those who perform the duties and bear the burdens of citizens ought to be represented , while no section of the community ought to be governed without being represented ; and therefore this conference is of opinion , that the programme of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association should be so far altered as to base the right of suffrage npon ' a claim to be registered / instead of ' a claim to be rated '
¦ 2 . That this conference , entertaining the most earnest and sincere desire to 'behold the rights of the working classes properly defended and their interests effectually represented—and beliering that these aims can only be accomplished by affording an opportunity for men of the highest intellect belonging to tlie rants of labour to attain an entrance into the people ' s parliaments—recommends the addition ofthe principle of * payment of members' to tlie programme ofthe National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . . [ The following additional resolution had been submitted to the committee , and was handed to the
reporters—3 . That as the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association and the Council of the National Reform League have severally appointed Deputations to wait upon the Conference and expound the views of those bodies to the National Parliamentary and F inancial Reform Association , the Conference decides upon receiving and hearing tiie said Deputations . ] A" Mr . Tillett , of Norwich , one of the burking committee , opposed the consideration of the above resolutions , observing that" If Mr . Reynolds , or any other gentleman " considered that the principles ofthe associa" tion were unjust , or unwise , it would be his
" duty to withdraw . ( Hear , hear . " ) The " Conference " rejected Mr . Reynolds's resolutions "by an overwhelming majority . " Had the resolutions , proposed by Mr . Reynolds been adopted , the programme of the " Parliamentary Reformers " would thereby have been assimilated to the Charter ; with the exception of one of its "Points , " that of "Annual Parliaments . " The speakers of the Parliamentary Reform Association , when addressing audiences containing a large admixture of Chartists , are in the habit of declaring that so far as they are' personally
concerned they approve of the principles bf the Charter ; but they sacrifice their own opinions to conciliate the prejudiced portion of the middle classes . If sincere in this declaration , why did they not seize upon the opporturiityafforded by Mr . Reynolds , to make a clean breast of their Chartist sympathies , and endeavour to convert the middle class , through their ' < delegates , " to the sound and wholesome principles sanctified- by the advocacy of all true Reformers ; from ' the time of Major Cartwright to the present hour ? Even at the "Conference" some of the
" delegates" gave expression to sentiments which morally hound them to give their support to Mr . Reynolds . Mr . Bright , for instance , observed that—" The change sought " by the Conference ' should have that con"finriation of public , opinion , that when " once established there could be no cavilling " at its injustice or danger , and no attempt to " retrace tbe decision to which the nation had " come . " The kind of change that would be
accepted in that spirit was indicated by Mr , Thwaites , who observed that , "For himself it was pretty well known that he was an uncompromising advocate of Manhood Suffrage . -Be believed that to be the only basis on which the question could be satisfactorily settled . " Mr . Thwaites is perfectly correct as regards his belief , hut exhibited sad inconsistency in not raising his voice in support of Mr . Reynolds ' s resolutions . Mr . Thwaites is ah "
uncompromising" compromiser ! But where were ' the champions of the " whole hog "— 'the " entire animal ; " the men who sh outed down Joseph Sturge and his friends , with the thundering chorus—" Name ar id all ? " Where was William Dixon , ?« member for Holborn ? " Where was Phillip M'Grath , the " member for London ? " And where , oh , where was his colleague , the immaculate Chartist , Thomas Clark 1 " Echo answers " Where V Of course the members for all London , and Holborninto the bargain , can each reconcile his conductto his conscience . Some consciences , like india rubber , have the property of stretching , or like guttapercha , can be moulded as ' convenience may dictate , and are warranted to wear well , ''under any
variety of circumstances ! Men sitting in the Crosby Hall conclave , and calling themselves Chartists , were oountf , by the principles they professed , either to have 8 uppbrtea \ Mr . Reynolds , Or to have moved more perfect resolutions having the same end inLvifi ^ Specially hoaad were Messrs . Ci ^^ 'GiUTH . ana Di & OJf , to follow that eporMel ' ' Thsy knew thferx ^ Tod ' suspeirted of

S na % mMi Charter , while , , on the , overhand , they had proclaimed themselves theonly worth y ^ ^ expohehts . of Chartisms They . wero bound to disprove the one , and do their best to prove the other-r-to disarm suspicion ^ and justif y their ^ wri ^ a ^ empt aF : sepMte leadership . . Mr . Reynolds afforded them the opportunity of flo wing . Doubtless ; they can ^ r could ; if . they would—show good and sum ! cient reasons for their silence ,- when public duty commanding them to ; speak out , their hps were , notwithstanding ; sealed . " : / ~ Later , in the , day , Mr . . Clark ; found his
tongue , when moving , " . That the council be " respectfull y requested to prepare a Bill con" taming the plan of reform proposed bv the "Association , with a view to ; its introduction " mthatshapeto Parliament . " , Mr . Clark , who is renowned for his modestv—was too bashful to speak for the CHARTER ; happily he overcame his blushing timidity , when called upon to take the initiative in giving birth to the " Little Charter / ' in tho form of a "BUI , " intended to supersede THE ^ PEOPLE'S
CHARTER . ^ v At the soiree held at the London Tavern , the ; chairman ( Sir Joshua'Walrasley ) introduced " Thomas Clark , Esq , " as " a Veritable representative of the working classes !! ' !" It is a pity but that Sir Joshua had attended the meeting at the National Hall , Jast'evenihg had he done so , he would ; have witnessed the members . for all "London , " and ^ Holborn ?' in addition , denounced as the enemies of the classes they ; impudently assume to represent . He would have seen those men powerless in a meeting convened by themselves , , to appoint their
even own chairman ,. Carry'their own resolutions , or obtain ; a moment ' s -hearing , even in " Holborn , " except through the intercession ofthe men who so ably exposed their political backsliding . In their arrogant conceit , Messrs . Clark , M'Crath , and ' BJixon , . " ' imagined themselves capable of dividing the Chartist party , instead of which they have , only exhibited their own impotehcy . "¦ Traders , . in politics could , not commit a ' greater mistake . Dishonest in principle , arid blundering in ' taW tics , they stand condemned in the estimation of the , working classes , and valueless for the purposes of their respectable patrons . - - ''•
In last Saturday ' s Northern Star , Mr . O'Connor argued that , even with the Walmsley extension of the Suffrage , and Triennial Parliaments , without the Payment of Members , " you would have as corrupt , * f If riot a more corrupt Parliament than you have " now ; " while , on ., the other ' hand , Payment of Members—even with Triennial Parliaments—would enable the working classes to " elect honest and up' right representatives from their own order /'' . An unanswerable argument for Mr . Reynolds's second , resolution . Unhappily , Mr . O'Connor did not give expression to that argument—and other ^ arguments he might have eroployed-4 n the " Conference : " an omission I . unfeignedly regret , both for his own
sake , and for the . sake of the Chartistcaiise .. Mr . O'Connor entertains the hope that , as , the Parliamentary Reformers have added " No Property Qualification" to their little stock , they may go further , and , " erelong , adopt the whole nog , bristles and " all . ?? Mr . O'Connor very , justly ; adds ;~ " Mind , "however , this must be done by argument , and not " by violence . " . Mr . Reynolds would have tried argument , but was burked . 'While the association was in a provisional state , it was , doubtless , competent for tht council to make the important addition of "Xo Property Qualification" to their fundamental princi p les . Henceforth , so important a step must be the act of a " Conference ; ' and , judging
by the proceedings ofthe recent conclave , it is hardly likely that any such body will be cenyened until April next . Clearly , then , sound policy dictated support of Mr . Reynolds ' s resolutions . That support might have been rendered without in any way committing the supporters to " a regular flare up . " Mr . O'Connor may assure himself that his best friends regret his silence on an occasion so important to the interests of Chartism . The brow of every real Chartist must have crimsoned from a painful , sense of humiliation , on
reading in Mr . O'Connor's postscript , that every member of Parliamenton the platform was invited to address the meeting , with the single exception of himself . The " respectables" make no attempt to conceal their mortal aversion for the Parliamentary representative of Chartism . "Why , then , does Mr . O'Connor persist in sharing the company of those who take no pains to disguise their hitter dislike of both him and his party ? In the case of an obscure individual it would riuvtter nothing to the people ; but Mr . O'Connor's humiliation is the humiliation of us all .
I regretted to read , in Mr , 0 Connor s letter , renewed allusions to the disunion of the working classes . ' Mr . ' -O'Connor is deceived . There' is no disunion ; although the men who surround and mislead him , have done their best to create division . Had any other jnen taken the same course , Mr . O'Connor would have denounced them as 'New " Sew Movers , " and invoked against the offenders tho thunders of popular censure . I have not forgotten the denunciations' launched against "William Lovett ; yet , now that Mr . O'Connor's chosen friends attempt . to create a new faction under the patronage of the same William Lovett , he singles them out for praise
as morally and politically honest , and ornaments to their class and to society . " In the letter from which the preceding words are quoted , Mr . O'Connor intimated that , " so long as disunion existed , he would not lend his name or countenance to either party . " In coming to such a determination , Mr . O'Connor must have been blind to the fact , that the little knot of seceders have no more claim to be considered a " party , " than the celebrated Tobley-street tailors had to constitute themselves the" People of England . " That gentleman must have forgotten , too , that he does belong to the recognised Chartist party , and that to refuse to that party his name and countenance , is calculated to occasion that division , which he assumes to exist , " He , that is not with us is against us . " Mr .
O'Connor last week , assured the friends at Hanley , that he was " resolved neither to be snuffed out , nor extinguished . " The only man who can " snuff out , " or " extinguish" Feargus O'Connor , is Feargus O'Connor himself . In quitting this subject , I must express my thanks to Mr . Reynolds , for his bold and straightforward conduct at the late Conference . I was not the first to welcome that gentleman to ouv ranks , but I will not be the last to pay him a . well-deserved , tribute of applause . I never before gave utterance to a word in praise of Mr . Reynolds , but I consider that , by moving his resolutions in the midst of the Crosby Hall conclave , he performed an act which entitles him to the thanks of every true democrat , and the approbation of every member of the working and unrepresented classes .
Brother Proletarians , I am sorry to have had to occupy so much space with comments on a subject for tho most part distasteful , to the exclusion of a topic on which I could have written with unqualified pleasure , but which I must now dismiss in a few lines . Ofcourselalludo to the glorious triumphs of our French brethren in the elections of the Democratic candidate for the Seine and Saone-et-Loire . Since the elections of the 10 th of March no event has transpired in Europe of equal importance . The Socialist-Democrats elected in March , for . the Saone-et-loire , were unseated on a party quibble . I predicted their re-election , and that prediction has been verified . Greater . signification , however ,
is attached to the Parisian victory . You may remember , that- on-the occasion of the-election of Carnot , Vidal , and DeFlotte , the discomfited Ordermongers consoled ; themselves by affecting to regard their defeat as being occasioned by a temporary and peevish hostility to tbe government . The Times correspondent assured the . readers of that lying journal , that within eight-and-forty . hours after the 10 th of March great numbers of the Parisian electors were repenting , in sackcloth and ashes , ofthe votes they had given to the Red candidates , and were only , anxious for' an opportunity to retrace their steps , and rally to the side of " Order . " That opportunity they have had ; Vidal ;
elected for one of the Departments ,. as ' well as for Paris , decided to sit for the former , and thus occasioned anew election in the capital . The Moderates , at first brought forward , as their candidate , loy ,. who , though beaten on the 10 th of March , stood next to De Flotte on the poll . / This selection was made in the interest ofthe Orleanists , to the small liking ofthe Buonapartists ,, and to the utter disgust of the Legitimists . As a natural consequence , the most admired disorder reigned in the camp of the Ordermongers ; for these three factions , though agreed in their hatred to the Republic , most furiously , hate , and desire the destruction ! of each other . Still circumstances forced them " to
affect a virtue , though they have it not . " , For without union , or , at least , a leagued conspiracy , they knOT that they could nob even postpone ¦ ¦ the fate that awaits them . Inspired by this sentiment , they cast about for a man qualified to combine the votes of all sections of the " party of order . " Foy was set aside , and , in his stead ; they nominated an ignorant shopocrat , a riian avowedly of no politics , arid whose only claim to . the suffrages of the people of Paris was grounded oh the fact of his having aided in shooting down the despairing insurgents of June ' 48 . To manufacture for him a reputation , all kinds of romantic and ridiculous stories , concerning the heroism' of himself aridhis family , ' were ' eirciliated by his patrons . All the influence of the go-

On- the other liarid , ' , the ( Red ^ . ' nominated . ¦ the celebrated -Eugene Sue , ' whose ; jii ' ameisassdeiated' with the most mce ' e ' ssfurliterary productions of . this generation . Studying the , condition of the people for literary purposes , ' he , sonic years ago , was induced to turn from the ' worship of systems , productive of the misery , ignorance , and vice of millions of his fellowcreatures ,. ' to the all-saving , creed of democratic socialism . ; In his Wandering Jew , Martin the Joimrfling , & bd ' 3 fyster ^ es . of . the People , he has laid bare the causes ' of ' social evils , and , ably pointed to the remedies ! , One sentiment from his writings is said to have gone far in deciding his nomination as the candidate of ' the Red Republicans— " NO , ONE
HAS ARIGHT TO SUPERFLUITIES , WHILE OTHERS ( ^ ANT ; THE NECESSARIES , ; . OF LIFE . " For this sentiment Eugene Sue has been fearfull y abused by those who uphold the'heartless usurpations ' of therich ; a sentiment which , howeverr , niii ' sfc command the applause of every friend to . humahity and justice . , The Reds engaged in the struggle under terrible disadvantages . Their electoral meetings had scarcely begun when they were suppressed by the Government / and all attempts to canvass for tlieir candidate were rigorously prohibited . Some thousands of the working class , who were without employment , were expelled the city . Tho new electoral list
. ' which came into operation since the 10 th of . March , showed a diminution of upwards of twenty thousand electors—the disfranchised belonging mainly , or entirely , to the popular party . A newj crusade ' was commenced . ' against the press . Thelpqhce-autocrat , Carlier , issued an ukase , forbidding ' the sale of the Opposition journals . The hawkers , were authorised to sell only the Government journals . The opposition papers—wherever found—were seized , arid the vendors punished . Under these " circumstances ,, the Ordermongers ferity -calculated oh a triumph . Imagine , then , their disappointment arid rage on finding . themselves beaten—more signally beaten than they were at the Maich ' electiori .
( Eugene . Sueta been triumphantly elected , by a majority of some nine or ten thousand votes over his competitor . ' . ' ; ' Great is-the dismay of the ' enemies " ofthe people , both in' France arid : throughout Europe . Since Monday last , meetings of the scoundrelbc ' racy have been nightiy'h . eld at the Elysee , to consider what nixtl ' ' But ;' as the Times remark ' s , legality is on the side of the . revolution , and ah anti-legal demonstration on the part of Buonaparte and his advisers inay . involve them in ruin . That villarious Journal , the London ; Globe , is strongly " urging the French Government to abolish Universal Suffrage . Some such move may be anticipated ;' then will come the struggle in the streets—a struggle which Ifervently pray , may result in the destruction of its provokers —the traitors in power . ' >
• I ihust defer'further comment on this subject . In the'mean time , let me inform my metropolitan ! friends , that ^ on , Tuesday next ' ' a . public meeting , convened by the Fraternal , Democrats , will be held at i the'lnstitution , ' John-street , Fitzroy-square , to congratulate the democracy of Paris on ^ heir glorious victory . ' Of course the Hall will be crammed by . true and staunch democrats , who , with heart and voice , will echo back from the Thames to the Seine the battle cry of thepeoples of alllands , —TIVE LA REPUBLIQUE , DEMOCRATIQUE ET SOCIALE .
¦ ' ¦ ! L'AMI DTJ PEUPLE . May fad , 1850 . " [ Now , . when , the reader peruses the above letter , I . think he must come to the conclusion that I allow my Editor grea ter liberty than any ' other Proprietor of a Newspaper would . I nojfc only tolerate abuse of others , but I sanction ! falsehood of myself ; and as it is only right to inform you , that the letter in question
was read to me before it was inserted , and if it had not been for the allusions made to me , I should not have allowed the criticism upon others to have ' appeared , because as I stated some . weeks ago , I would no longer allow the " Northern Star" to be made the vehicle of personal accusation and recrimination . However , as it is my wish to meet statements of every description , let me now show the error into which the writer has fallen .
Mr . Reynolds was a member of the Council of the Financial Reform Association , and , thereforej was entitled to speak at the Conference . I was not a member of the Council , although I took out a card of membership , not as a councillor but as a member of the Association , for the express purpose of speaking : and now hear the simple fact . No man , except a member of the Council or an elected Delegate , was eligible to speak , unless he was appointed to do so by the business committee . ; ¦ ¦ .
It is true that there was a dodge inserted , allowing members of parliament , who voted for Mr . Hume ' s motion , to attend and take part in the proceedings ; but , perhaps , you will be astonished when I inform you , that it was actually decided by the Business Committee that I SHOULD NOT SPEAK ; and , therefore , I was determined not to appear as , an intruder . I did attend the soiree , and , contrary to my wish , was called upon by Sir Joshua Walmsley to address the meeting , and , if my speech ' had been reported , the reader would have discovered , that , although the meeting was almost exclusively composed of the higher arid middle classes , that my speech was a NO SURRENDER speech for the whole animal .
Now , working men , I have no doubt that some of you are old enough to remember , that I was obliged to dismiss Mr . Hill from my service in consequence of his abuse of Dr . M'Douall when he was absent from the country . You recollect that I dismissed Mr . Hobson , which cost me more than £ 500 , for his abuse of the Somers Town Chartis ts ; and from these facts you will come to the conclusion , that I can tolerate abuse of myself , while I cannottolerate abuse of your order ; and I think you will draw the natural inference , that I tolerate what no other proprietor of a newspaper ever did , or ever would tolerate .
Now , let me remind you again , again , and again , that this antagonism of leaders is above all things likely to destroy your movement and postpone the accomplishment of your principles , and therefore I now assure you , that it shall cease as far as the "Northern Star" is concerned .

" Intention constitutes the crime . " MR . J . TAYLOR AND THE NATIONAL JLAND COMPANY . - TO FKARGUS O ' CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Sir , —It seems to . me that there is a determination to make me to say and mean things I never meant or said . , One would have thought that after my explanatory letter that there ought to have been an end of the matter , but" Charles Gladwell" thinks different , and he goes out recruiting , and obtains the signatures of six other parties , to testify , "that I said at Stowmarket , asnearas they could remember , " what is : reported in the Suffolk Chronicle . I have never impeached the accuracy ofthe report of the Ipswich meeting in the Chronicle : what I have said was , " thaiyour strictures tvere a misrepresentation
and an exaggeration , & c ., ' of that report ; and I still aflirm , that my remarks do not bear that construction being put upon them , which you did put upon them . " Charles Gladwell " . acts unjustly in saying that I accuse the Chronicle of giving a false report ; I said no such thing : the report is as correct as possible , considering that a , speech of one hour and half in length was compressed into a space less than one column . And then the reporter of the Chronicle , believing " Charles Gladwell ' s " statement that I had impugned his report , confirms , what no one denies ,, and adds '; thai I mado no " previous , allusion" to the . Tory ^ press at tho Ipswich meeting . Be it so . But it appears from the report in the Chronicle that if laid not make any previous allusion , I did an after allusion ' , and the Chronicle itself mentions tho Times , Standard , and Britannia , amongst the papers to which I
referred ; and , in addition , the Suffolk Chronicle itself , the week following , replies to similar taunts of the Tory press in Suffolk . I have only again solemnly to aver , " that if you believe my remarks represent , the meaning you give to them 1 am exceeding sorry , because such was not raj . meaning , " " Intention constitutes the crime ;' . ' where there was no intention let there oeno offence ; I never intended it , and regret tho meaning given to , my language . If Mr . Gladwell called me to the " question at Stowmarket , I can only , say that I never hoard him , and I dont think any one else did , arid I was not aware of it till I saw it in your Star of .

THE FINSBURY CHARTISTS TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . ' United , we stand—divided , we fall . ' > Brother Chartists , —We , the members ofthe National Charter Association , residing in the borough of Finsbury , beg leave to address you at this important crisis . It is with heartfelt grief that we witness parties who have worked so long with us in the holy cause of democracy , separating from us . We all know , from past experience , the folly—nay tho mischief—of disunion . "Divide , and conquer , " is the game of our enemies . Brothers , ours is too holy and sacred a cause to be trifled with . We call upon you to rally around the old ship—the " Charter" —to nail the colours to the mast , and swear never to lower them till the Charter becomes the
law of the land . We call upon you to rally around the Executive Committee , by taking out cards of membership of the National Charter Association . You must look to your own efforts , if you are really in earnest , to emancipate yourselves from slavery . Brothers , many of us remember the passing of the so-called Reform Bill . We had the bill , the whole bill , and nothing but the bill ; and if we allow ourselves to be deceived again , our children will have cause to curse our apathy . The members residing in the borough of Finsbury have taken a commodious room at the Old Dolphin , Old-street , St . Luke ' s , and call upon all true lovers of liberty to rally around them .

NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . LAMBETH COUNTY COURT .-Mir 1 st . Cosbt v . Simpson . —The plaintiff in this case was one Patrick Coney , and the defendant John Simpson , Secretary of the Camberwell and Walworth branch of the National Land Company . The plaintiff sought to recover the sum of lis . 2 d ., paid to the defendant on behalf the National Land Company . The case when first heard was adjourned until Wednesday , the 10 th of April , when Messrs . M'Grath and Dixon attended on behalf of the Directors , and after a lengthened inquiry , the judge said he would adjourn the case for one month
before he gave judgment , as the case was before on » of the higher courts . The parties received notice to attend at ten o ' clock on Wednesday morning , May 1 st , to hear the judgment ofthe Court , but when the case was called for , the judge stated that since the case wa » before him last , the legality of the Company had been argued in one of the superior courts . He therefore , would not give judgment in the case ; and , further , he had very serious doubts on his mind as to the plaintiff recovering the money paid , indeed , there were many difficulties in the wayto prevent him from doing so .

TIIE PRINTER'S ACCOUNT . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sib , — I enclose you an order from a few friends to assist in defraying the Printer ' s Account for the Convention and Assembly . I do think if a recommendation were coming from you to those who express themselves anxious to see their friends rt ^ Jieved from the embarrassment in which they hava been kept since 1848 , to at once become their owa agents and enclose one sixpence , or as much more as they may choose to give , in an envelope ,
addressed to you , and giving the name of the sender , and what it is to be applied to . This , in my opinion , would take away the excuses generally given , that they would be willing to give their share , provided some person would accept it . Those who will not take this small amount of trouble , cannot be sincere in their pro fessions of sympathy , nor honest in principle , iftnw will not adopt some such simple and easy mode w liquidating those debts , which in a moral senss all are bound to see paid .
