About a mile from AUoa we met _immense cavalcade , with numbers of banners i _seren splendid bands , all dressed in mili-~ uniforms ; and , thus marshalled , we _^ _ied into the i : > wn and in the _market-L . _lield a magnificent meeting , the largest , they _^ j ever had . An address was presented to * ' _wlueh I responded to at considerable length ; '' _-saiauoa to petition for the Charter was passed , _jAanham Duncan was then elected a 3 a member r . v next Convention to assemble in London . ' _~ aI 1 _(» we marched in _fuli procession to

      _Til-^ w _jboat one mile and a half ; there a Tery Tsss _fcusticgs was erected , and a eoncourse of IL _jsaabled which puzzled me to guess where r _^ _jae from—* bnge mass of people . Another _Lj . _^ _jg presented to me , and resolutions _pledg-Eapport of the Charter , and _approving of the aaal _pen _^ _i" _** P _** _^ 1 _»»« capital _-jies were made- Abraham Duncan was there elected to represent Clacknunnanshire in the ¦ TcEiioiL . from thence we marched in full _proton through Coalsnactha to Alva , a distance four mile 3 - I walked all the way . When were within a quarter of a mile of the _„ _* _rs fouid _ourselTes in the dark , and the

      _amittee decided upon my addressing the meeting _fcs _road- As soon as I began ,- _however , it apu _-ed the sharks were present , and were _making gantiaa to arrest me for _ktarrnpting the _pas-3 _« jiis was communicated to me , and when I jdened the fact to the meeting , it was _agreed that should reserve my _speech for the soiree . We _treibre proceeded , and reached the hotel at _half' ix . A : half-past _sevea , I started for the soiree , _* h was held on the ground fioor of a large milL _Srickits were aold , but 300 were obliged to have ( s _moaej returned , as the place was literally Band to suffocation wiih 1100 . There was a si dalj _not of confusion , but of difficulty , in _pEg-iro-agh to serve the repast , and we were _iT _« i in the " oven" for _» t least an hour before a

      _rdwnid be heard ; however , I _re ; -oiee < l taat our _fetcie arose from our strength , and so I waited _^ . _-Jt , Af := r _spsaking at considerable _leasts , I _ith / p ! ac 5 in a state as if I had been dipped mt sea .

      ! > b _Tuesday , I started for Dunfermline , where I * to zees Mr . Brewster , in his srrong moralahcid , surrounded by his staff . Many good bws _we-i with me from Alva , about _twentjnaiies . When I reached Daafermline , —but 1 _pld tal yon first that a friend came off to Tilrckry to me , and fo llowed me to Alva , implor-\ at _uo > U _> go to _Donfenniice , as _ilorisson and Qcy bad been _recrniting all their forces of p boys , warehousemen , and masters , to back _irsus , while the shortness of my notice _»« i £ > rd time for the country districts to

      i in . However , I was inexorable , and go wld ; aid I did go ; and when I armed _ssdilirge _procession with band and banners _2 E | . _Te west to my hotel , and there I heard of _aiigfcii anticipations of defeat ; and after a short ttjI three Brewsterites called upon me to make e _^ _eEffiis for diEcnsaon with _Brewsier . After k jiw , and hearing 2 _document _wliich tbej had ci _; from Allca , fuii of fal & ebood , I appointed s toBfet them , and deal with the question and « ixj thought _proper . W ell , the arrangements 5 cade that I was first to speak three quarters

      a ho 5 r , then _Brewst er the same time ; then a _aa of an hour each for two mortal hours . The _iiProrosi was in the chair , and we had a glorious & g , and a _lorely day .

      « T Bslo Ted F*Nao>B,-It Is Now Ten O'Cl...

      on Wednesday morning , and off to Dundee , I believe _tiiiriy-nve miles . At Dundee we had a famous meeting , in the . immense new hall , a fine place for meeting ; bat as a report of that meeting 13 sent , I need say no more than th & t the soiree , at which 1 , 200 sat down , was by far the best arranged and regulated entertainment I ever witnessed in my life . Not one _moment ' s interruption , though each person was _serred with three cups of tea . I _norer spent a more delightful evening , or heard better singing . I send you one song on the parsons , & c . " With _hia black coat and cravat bo white , " and request insertion for it ; it was encored , and loudly applauded ,, as were most of the excellent songs .

      We were inundated with middle class men , and John Duncan tells me that I made what he calls a splendid speech about an hour and three quarters in length ; however , I never heard such applause . A capital fellow belonging to _ths Association , whose name I forget , but who yon will see from the Dun dee Chronicle ' s report , made an excellent speech ; as did John Duncan , and , upon the whole , it was a triumphani night lor Chartism . We kept the ball up till between one and two o ' clock , and none appeared tired . I must tell you that at all our day meetings , we passed resolutions to bold the Charter fast by the mane , not giving up a _s & gl * bristle ; also approving of the petition , and a famous one , a whole hog one . it is . God bless the fingers thai wrote it .

      On Thursday , at eleven , J started for Arbroath , eighteen miles , and had one of the most splendid demonstrations you ever saw , for the extent of the _population . We walked in procession to the old Abbey , of which with the grounds the poor were robbed , and some of the lands now pay £ 30 , 000 a-year to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests . Well , we mounted a very fragile hustings , and were surrounded by all the middle classes of the town . Thos . Gow , one of the wittiest and most sarcastic speakers I ever heard , was called to the chair , and , after some preliminaries , he

      introduced me , for the first time , to an Arbroath audience . I had not gone far , however , when crash went the whole hustings , without the slightest warning ; but I came like a cat on my legs , and , ; hank God , eo one was hurt . I mounted a wall behind the hustings , and frcm that spoke for a loDg time . In the eTeniDg we Lad a splendid social meeting , in & pavilion built by the people themselves , capable of accommodating about eight _hundred ; and here the middle classes again came in scores . Mr . Thomas Gow was again called to the chair , ' and , for a long time , kept the

      whole meeting in roars of laughter by tho most extraordinary flow of sarcastic eicquence I ever heard in my life . It was not a speech ; i : was a series of observations , all novel , trite , and emblematical . I had an address presented to me , to which 1 responded at great length , and at one o clock , I left Arbroath for Swnehaven on my way to Aberdeen I arrived at Stonehaven at five in the morning , a complete petrefaction , as it froze all night , and the climate is awfully cold aloDg the coast . I would have given any money for the Allca oven for ten minutes . At nine o ' clock , a number of friends from

      Aberdeen came to Stonehaven forme ; we _breakfasted and a finer set of fellows I never beheld . At eleven we started , and as I procured a report of the two extraordinary days Fpent there , I need not _Eaymuch in my journal ; suffice it to say that I have seen many precessions and pageants ; I Eaw the great trades meeting to escort Mr . O'Conuell to Kingstown en his departure to take his _stat in Parliament ; but it was a mere Punch and Judy to that of Aberdeen . It has actually filled the whole of the North of Scotland with astonishment . It more resembled a splendid

      tonrnament than a Chartist procession . I now look back upon it as a dream . The day was heavenly , and as the population marched through the principal _streets , every window , balcony , and house-top was crowded ; while the view of the whole thing upon the Caledonian Race Ground , as far as the eye could reach , wa 3 worth going a hundred miles to see ; while my greatest delight is , that , instead of putting my friends to great expence , I have replenished their exchequer , and left them a surplus of seme £ 40 or £ 50 over and above expenditure to go on in the glorious cause . I never shall forget the appearance of the grassy amphitheatre , roofed by the broad bine sky , the smiling faces , the

      living hills , the rolliEg ocean , the cheers of _freeaen » and tha echoing rock 3 sending back the jocund music . It would make the devil himself a Chartist . Well , the day was not disgraced by the evening ' s entertainment ; aboHt three thousand five hundred men and women of all classes sat down in one pavilion to tea , and every thing that was good-A glorious night we had . You ought to have a report , as one _was sent ; so I shall only say that I paid my share of the _expence in a speech of nearly two and & half hours' duration ; and let the men of Aberdeen say how they liked it . I was well pleased myself , and all appeared to be so ; we had songs , music , and recitations , and the night appeared too short , when at morn we parted .

      I shall not here tarnish my narrative with tae Brewster . discussion , on Siturday , a 3 you should have a report of that also ; suffice it to say , that a pair of old women's Whig papers , the Banner and the Herald , have endeavoured to prop him ; but the Herald in particular mil find itself rather _ecarce ia the people ' s coffee bouses , afier its publication oi wilful falsehoods to prop Brewater in his crusade against Chartism .

      Now , my friends , it is nearly twelve o'clock , and I have to "be at Cupar , thirty miles oft " , by twelve io-momm ; so Good night ; God bless you . " On Tnesday I have to address tha men of Kirkaldy , in Fifeshire ; and on the same evening to attend a soiree at Leith _, and another in Edinburgh ; and thank God , I never was better . Your faithful Friend and Servant , _Fbabgus O'Connor . _Arfciwath . OcL 31 st . JS 41 .

      Bilstok.—This Spirited And Truly Patriot...

      BILSTOK . —This spirited and truly patriotic town is making rapid progress in the Chartist cause ; they have already got a band of music connected with their Association , which is very numerous , and keeps increasing weekly . The honest colliers and foundry men are beginning to open their eyes , and are determined not to remain willing slaves much longer . A numerous meeting was held by moonlight on Thursday evf ning last , to hear an address from Mr . George White , of Birmingham ; it was originally intended to hold the meeting in their large Boom ; long be ' ore the time of meeting , not only was the place itself _crowded , but the street also ; this led of course to an adjournment . Mr . John Stiran , cheese * nd bacon factor , was unanimously called to the eiair : a & d » fter » brief address

      introdneed Mr . George White to address the meetiDg . Mr . White spoke at great length on the principles of die Charter , and created shouts of laughter at the expence of the rotten system * He _sbowed up the planner in which the working _classes were robbed , and called upon all persons presont to enrol their names in the National Charter Association . He was loudly cheered throughout his address . Mr . J . Stiran was afterwards _choson delegate to Birmingham ; Messrs . M _* son , _Can-j y , and White were severally nominated as _candidates to represent Staffordshire and Salop in the forthcoming Convention . Mr . White will , of com .-so , decline , as he is nominated for Warwick and A ' orcestershire ; the meeting _afterwards separated _peaceably . The causa roes on brave !? at _Bilsteo .

      Bilstok.—This Spirited And Truly Patriot...

      NOTTINGHAM . — -On Monday evening , a lecture was given in the Demonstration Chapel , _Kice-pJaoe , to a numerous and most attentive audience , by Mr . Joseph Barbage . who very justly observed , at the conclusion , that it was better for working men and women to attend » place of this description and ia ' Struct each other in general truth , than waste thentime in _public-houssA . Chartism is making a silent and sure progress here . —On Sunday afternoon and night , Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , _precehed in the Chapel , and , we regret to state , was taken very ill at the afternoon service . Great fears were entertained he would not have been able to proceed at night ; but though evidently labouring under great debility , he weat through with his task : hundreds went away unable to « _iiu admission .

      _Calveeton demonstration . —This village , a rural district half way between Southwell and Nottingham , was enlivened on Thursday , the 28 tb , by the meeting of Chartists to _celebrate the release of the men whom the people delight to honour—P . O'Connor and B . O'Brien , Esqrs . The dinner was got lip by , and at the house ot , Mr . George Harrison , and consisted of roast beef , & o . Ale had also been brewed at the farm-house for the occasion ; and at two o ' clook the party sat down . Mr . W . Russell , of Nottingham , -mia appointed to the chair . The afternoon was spent in the ' _greatest good humour and conviviality ; a choice selection of Chartist songs were given and responded to , with , other patriotic sen * timents , until the female and such of the male

      portion of tne party as chose to retire for tea , which was provided in the same neat and comfortable style , _girtag ample satisfaction to every person present . Harmoay again commenced after tea , the pleasure of which was greatly heightened by the Arnold post , Mr . Hardy , giving several admirable _songa of his own composition , and all breathing the Bentiments of freedom . —Mr . W . D . Taylor delivered a , very instructive address at a time when the room was crammed to suffocation by young persons of both sexes . Mr . Smith , of Mansfield , a most talented young man , also addressed the company in a very able manner . Mr . Russell addressed the meeting , and then vacated the chair . After which the meeting broke np at a late hour , highly delighted with the proceedings of the day .

      MANCHESTER , —Ou Sunday afternoon , another room was opened for the propagation of the _genuine principles of liberty , at Miles Platting , where meetings will be held , and lectures will be delivered regularly . The attendance was numerous and enthusiastic . Mr . James Leach delivered an excellent lecture , which was _racsived satisfactorily by the assembly . This is the seventh room whioh has been opened for the same purpose in this town within the last fifteen months , a sure indication of the rapid progress of the cause . Bkowx-street—Mr . Clarke , of Stookport , delivered a lively and _iuteresting lecture to the Chartists of Brown-street , on Sundsy _evenwjj , which took two hours in the delivery , and at the conclusion received a vote of thanks by acclamation .

      Tin _stkeet . —There was a numerous meeting in this room on Sunday evening . Mr . Hurry , an Irish Chartist , was called to the chair . In opening the meeting , he commented upon the conduct of the parties who created the disturbance at the Carpenters' Hal ] , on the Monday evening previous , and exposed and denounced the treachery of Finigan , and stated that the Chartists who bad stood firm against persecution were not to be intimidated or made to bend when victory seemed positive . Mr . Tillman moved that Mr . Fiuigan _' s name should not he brought forward in that room for the future , inasmuch as it . brought him into undeserved notice and importance , bat that be be treated with contempt . Carried unanimously . Mr . Cartledge then delivered an excellent and argumentative lecture on the

      National Debts of the world , shewing the amount of every one , and likewise the number of the population who had to pay such debts , and compared thorn with tha National Debt of Great Britain , striking the balance , and shewing that the population of ail those countries was more than that of the United Kingdom by five times , yet all the National Debts were not so large by one million and odd as the British . He touched also upon other matters , amply _shewiiig that O'Connor wa 3 correct when ho said that it was the same as putting two half-hundred weights to the heels of a British _artii-an , and setting him to run with the foreigner . The speaker was listened to wit ' a marked _attention , and Eat down at the conclusion much applauded . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and the Chairman , and the meeting _dispersed .

      Demonstration Committee . —At a meeting of this Committeo , it was resolved , " That all parties holding money or books bo requested to bring them in on Sunday _Uo-mcrrow , ) in order that the accounts might be iaid before the public ; and that the Committee meet on Sunday next , at No . 9 , Whittlestreet , at ten o ' clock in ths forenoon . " IrOKGTON * . —Rise of Chartism . —A few weeks back , Mr .

      which was attended with much gocd . He lectured on the Tuesday night to a very good audience . Mr . Robinson preached on the Monday and Tuesday following , with Rood results . Mr . J .

After the lecture , many persons had their names enrolled as members of tne Natiopal _Charter _Association , and received their cards of membership . Some of Mr . Campbell ' s pamphlets were disposed of . The Council are using every means to place those pamphlets ia the hands of the working men , who , when they have read them , lend to their _neighbour . They esteem them as a most valuable auxiliary to destroy the- fallacy of the " plague" _spouters ; and as the workiDg men of Bradford are continually coming in contact with some of the paid agitators of the anti-Corn Law party , Campbell ' s pamphlets arc come in time to the assistance of the Chartists to defend themselves aeainst Republican _deserters .

      HEBDENBRIDGE . —At a weekly meeting of the _Chartiets of Hebdenbridge , on Monday last , it was resolved , " That tha Chartists of Hebdenbridge feel called upon to declare to the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland , their unabated aud unchanged confidence in George Julian Harney , notwithstanding the insinuations thrown oat to injure his character ; therefore , the Chartists of Hebdenbrid , recommend Mr . Harney as a fit and proper person to sit in the Convention that is going to be elected .

      WORCESTER . —The Chartists of this city are progressing in a steady and determined manner , turning neither to the right hand or to the left , but _pressing _onward with s full determination to do their share towards delivering their country from the misrule of Whig and Tory factions , and placing her in a position where she may be indeed the envy of surrounding nations , and the admiration of the world . They have commenced a system of Sunday evening lectures , which promises greatly to benefit the cause , and they invite all those who love their fellow man—all who love liberty and hate tyranny—all who wish to see man occupy that position which the Benevolent Creotor of the Universe designed he should—to attend , and show , by their example , that they are not indifferent to the things that concern the political salvation of their country .

      KIDDERMINSTER . —A public meeting was held oo Thursday , in a large room , at the Freemasons Arms , for the purpose of adopting the National Petition , as issued by the Executive . There was a good meeting , and Mr . Mason addressed the meeting , in a manner which convinced every one who heard him , that he well understood hia subject , _Bhowing up in a very clear manner the base policy of both Whig and Tory Governments , also the Corn Law _humbug and every other humbug _skort of the Charter , with roch ability as brought continual

      rounds of applause . Mr . Elery , the Chairman , read the National Petition , and Mr . Hitehui moved the first resolution : — That this meeting adopt the National Petition , as issued by the Executive of % o e National Charter Association , and published in t ' ae Northern Star , and this meeting pledges itself to nse every exertion within its power to procure s > _gnatures to the said Petition .

      _WQUVSRHAXaPTON . —On Friday evening , Mr . Mason lectured at the association room . The meeting was well attended , and he was repeatedly applauded in the _oonrso of his lecture .

      DTJNDES— O'CONNOR'S ENTRANCE—We have been eye-witnesses of demonstrations in this place of the most splendid kind , possessing ull the paraphernalia generally exhibited upon such occasions . We Lave seen tens of thousands of our townsmen turn out to meet a public man , and welcome him to this town cf smoke uud tattered garments . But never did it fall to our lot to witness anything so soul-stirring as Mr . O'Connor ' s reception on the Quay of Dundee . The demonstration council agreed to hold no procession , con _^ _tqutfutly the number of _those who met him was not so large as it otherwise would have been , and the time of bis arrival was not generally known . The qoeatiens put tons by both Whig , Tory , and Chartist , on Wednesday , wert )—has he arrived ?—when does he

      come ? && Notwithstanding this uncertainty regarding the time the " uncaged" was to make hia appearance , every boat ( a boat _crosses tho Tay hourly from our port ) from eleven o ' clock , tiil his arrival at two o ' clock , was waited upon by hundreds of honest men , unxiouslj waiting the arrival of their champion . Ho did comehis Una manly figure was immediately recognised on board the steamer , and a shout was raised which rent the very air , and a general rush made for the honour of ths first shake of his hand . He was escorted to the British Hotel by a splendid body gaud , the numbers continuing to increase until he was safely housed . There Ls no-one base enough in Scotland to injure the person of Mr . O'Connor ; yet we could not help remarking that had such a one appeared , how soon we would have seen " bonnets on the green .

      truly soul-stirring , and never can Wo forget how eagerly they tracked up his every move—hia every action ! —The Whigs h _& 7 e not killed him yet—he is looking well , _fcc . & _c—were expressions uttered by many a really happy democrat . At half-past two " o ' clook , a large meeting was got up in our new hall , ( about 1 , 200 attended ) and Mr . Plownor made a speech which was replete with dequeues of tha highest order , and has , to our knowledge , made a number of converts amongst the middle classes- A soiree was held in the evening , by far the most numerously attended , and orderly audience , ever held in _Forfarshire . Oh ! Brer / ster , Brewatcr , drop your foolish and headstrong opposition to this great man . If you do not intend to make yourself as obnoxious as ever man was , we say let us have no more _opposition from you . We _believe yon are a Rood man , and hence we intreat you to return to the ra : ; ks of democracy .

Mr . O'ConneU _* yet thoy do not care a bullrush whether Peter Parcell , Daniel O'Connell , or Tom Askins , the _cast-ofT clothes man , have succeeded to _tha civic chair ; and what has added much to this bustle and excitemenfc is that two of Mr . O'Connell's best friends in th » Rspeal cause have declared against any further connection with him , and have given much praise to > the letters of Mr . Shaman Crawford , which all

      acknowledge to be the most rational that have appeared since the commencement of the Repeal agitation . These letters have given such , an unanswerable exposure of Mr . O'Connell ' s political delinquencies , and votes against Repeal , against the abolition of tifbes , and agaii-st the interests of his country generally , for the purpose of keeping iapower his friends and patrons , tho "base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " . that most of the sensible politicians are beginning to seo that Mr .

O'Connell ' s " whole ticket . " The one sent to Mr . _O'Hisrgins contained the names of Daniel O'Conneil , John O'Neilk

      Richard Grace , and John _M'Renna . Opposite te > Mr . O'Connell _' _s name , Mr . O'Higgins wrote the words " a knave in politics , and a hypoorite ia religion ; " and to Grace ' s name /* a scoundrel in every thing ; " and to _Sl'Renna _' _a name , " it is well for him that he got a policeman to act the scape-goat for him in the ease of Mr .
