      0'Higgins And Chartism, Versus Young Ire...

      0 'HIGGINS AND CHARTISM , versus YOUNG IRELAND . TO THE EDITOR OF TBE JJOBTHERN STAR . Sik , — Li order that my English Chartist brethren znvy clearly understand the nature , meaning , and erigsn of the subjoined correspondence , I haveto state * for their information , that it originated in a meeting held in the round room of the Rotunda , on Wednesday , the 2 nd instant , of what is called here the "Yoang Ireland party . I went to that meeting out of sheer eurh ^ itj ; paid one shilling for my ticket which gave me a right to be there . The gentlemen of the press having heard my name mentioned in the way 3 have stated in my letter of the 7 th instant , the loung Ireland party , as appears bv the letters of their secretary , Mr . J . D . McGee , became alarmed , lest the breach between them and Mr . O'Connell should become " widerand deeper , " when he saw the name of a man at their meeting who is known to be identified with the political principles , now for the first timepublished in an Irish newspaper .

      I hope , for the character of my countrymen , that but few , very few , of the Young Ireland party concurred in the puerile objection of their inexperienced secretary . Patrick 0 'Hreei . vs . Dublin , 20 th December . 1 S 46 . TO TBE IDITOB OF THE FKEEHAN . Committee-room , 8 , Wicklow-street , Beer . 3 rd , 1846 . Sir , —The committee of which I am temporarily the secretary , request me to write to you , to say that Mr .

      O'Higgins , whose name appears in your report of this morninr , in the list of the chief persons at our meeting of Wednesday , was not there as a guest of the committee . Though your report does not , of course , say that such was the fact , the public might infer it , from their knowledge that nearly all the gentlemen whose names are given in the same paragraph were guests , and none others beside had a right to be en the platform . The committee can see no reason why Mr . O'Higgins should fee selected for mention rather than Mr . Costelloe or Other gentlemen uninvited .

      The Committee in this statement , it « hardly necessary to say , mean nothing disparaging to Mr . O'Higgins . The committee further request me to state that there is , in their opinion , one or two inaccuracies in the report , as stating " that several gentlemen remonstrated " against the removal of an intemperate man , and that there was " counter-cheering" at the dissolving of the meeting . " With these exceptions , the committee beg me to express their gratification at the fullness and general failhfslntss of a report so rapidly , yet so accurately got ont I remain , Sir , jours , & c , T . D- M'Gee , Sec . i < ro tern .

      TOTEE EDITOR OF TEE FfiEEMAK ' S J 0 UBJUL . Sib , —Havingbeen ont of town on Friday and Saturday last , I did not see the letter in the Freeman ' s Journal , sirnrd T . D . M'Gee , io which my name is mentioned , until this day . The want of perspicuity in Mr . M'Gee ' s letter would lead the public to infer that Mr . O'Higgins had intruded upon a platform wherenoie bnt guests had a right to be . J t also states "that the committee can see no reason why Mr . O'Higgins should be selected for mention rather than Mr . Costello or other gentlemen uninvited . " "Sow , then , of all the ridiculous objections that ever were made , even in these ridiculous times , this objection of a " selection for mention rather than , " is the . most ridiculous .

      Be it known , then , to Mr . T . D . M'Gee , and all whom it mar concern , that Mr . O'Higgins never obtruded himself anywhere—that he was not on tbe platform iu the Kytunda on Wednesday night—that he had no wish to be on it—that he went to the meeting to see and hear yonng gentlemen of whose eloquence he had heard so much from others—that bis ticket being for the reserved seats , letool ; his place there , and remained in it till the conclusion of the proceedings , after which he walked home and went to bed , soberly and quietly . The circumstance which led to the mention of my name in the Freeman ' s Journal was simply this . A tall handsome gentleman belonging to the staff of the Fbeejuk happened to be jammed with me at the entrance from Cavendish-row by the pressure of the crowd . A gentleman inside cried out "mike way for Mr . O'Higgins—I am glad to see yon at onr meeting . " In this way , and in this only , was my presence at the meeting made known to the gentlemen of the press .

      Permit me to say , in conclusion , that neither Mr . M'Gee nor the committee can conceal from the citizens 0 * Dablin that thU ridicules letter was written with the viewand in tbe hope of relieving themselves from the imaginary contamination of political principles not yet sufficiently fashionable for their adoption . I am , Sir , Your very obedient servant , Patrice . O'Hiccins . So , 15 , North Ann Street . Dec . 7 th . 18 IC .

      TO THE EDITOR OP TBE FBEBXAlf . 2 . George ' s Place . Dec . 7 th , 1846 . My Dear Sir—A letter having appeard in the Freeiii-tii ' s . foitrn « lof tiie 4 th instant , signed T . V . WGee , m which the following passage apj > eared : — " The committee can see no reason why Mr . O'Higgins should be selected for mention , rather than Mr . Costello or other gentlemen uninvited . As many of my friends seemed to think I was the person above alluded to , I wrote to Mr . M'Gee to requesthe would slate whether I was the individual referred to . I did so , not wishing it should he supposed that I attended ft meetinj , in the ohjectofwhichldid not concm-. As I did not receive an answer , lam now compelled to trespass on your columns , in order to state that I was not at that meeting-.

      I cannot attribute my not being favoured with the ex . pected repl y to anything but an apparent want of the knowledge of the courtesies which should be observed between gentlemen . I remain , my dear Sir , Touts very truly , E . Yt * . Costello .

      " 32 , Blscka-all-street , Dec . 7 th , 1816 . "Sis , —In answer to your note of Friday ( which in the hurry of many duties I omitted answering ) I beg to state that a member of our committee having stated to me that Mr . Patrick Costello , barrister ( a well-known O . 'd Icelander ) , was present , I could not resist the temptation to observe the fact , aa illustrating how strange it was , that when the press selected men from the crowd for notice , a Chartist should be preferred to a moral force man . " Tour name was not brought in " question at all in my presence . "I remain , Sir , your obedient servant , "Thos . D . M'Gee . "E . W . Costello , Esq ., barrister-at-law , 3 . George ' s-place . "

      TO THE EDITOB OF THE KESHAN .. Sib , —I am again reluctantl y obliged to trespass on the columns of your paper , in consequence of a false charge bavin * been insinuated , though not openly or manfully state ! , against myself personally , as well as against the political principles which I have always held , from the avowal of which 1 never for one moment shrank . The unfounded charge to which I have alluded occurs in a letter , signed T . D . It-Gee , and addressed to E . T 7 . Coitello , barrister-at-law , namely , " I eould not resist the temptation to observe the fact , as illustrating how triage it waa that when the press selected men fram the

      0'Higgins And Chartism, Versus Young Ire...

      crowd for notice , a Chartist should be preferred to a " moral force man . " Now , as I have been already . invidious ' y selected for objection by Mr . T . D . M'Gee , there can be no lossibility of doubt that I am the person meant as tha . ' . ' Chartist who was preferred to a physical force mail . " The obvious intention of Mr . M'Gee is to confound Chartism and physical force for the double purpose of propitiating his great adversary , and leading the public to believe that physical force constitutes one of the principles of Chartism . It is not true that physical force forms any portion of Chartist doctrine . This false charge against Chartists and Chartism is as base as that which used to be made by canting hypocrites again ; t Catholics and Catholicism , as rea ons for their apposition to Catholic mancipation . They expressed great sympathy for the Catholics , but could not conscientously advocate their cause until such time as they should abandon their superstitious practices and idolatry .

      It appears , Sir , that you are guilty of a high and unpirdonable crime for having selected for mention a Chartist from the crowd rather than a moral force man , who was not at the meeting . Sir , I am a Chartist ; but I say that physical force Is no more a part of . Chartism than superstition and idolatry are parts of Catholicism . The accusation in , both cases is equally false . In order to put an end to this matter , and to enable Mr . M'Gee to resisthereafter the temptation of in ? inujting that which is untrue , I beg leave to subj nn the object of Chartism , its principles , the rights it seek to achieve and the means proposed to achieve those rights . I am your very obedint servant , Patrick O'Higgins . So . l 3 , Xorth Annc-street , 10 th Dec . l 8 i 6 .

      " CUAUTISM . "And its object is , to secure a full , fair , and free representation of the people in the House of Commons . " PRINCIPLES . " 1 . That the power of making laws for this realm , is , by the constitution , lodged in the hands of the Sovereign , the Lords of Parliament , and the representatives of the Commons . " 2 . That it is required by the principles of the constitution , that the whole body of the people should be really represented in the House of Commons . " 3 . That the present system of virtual representation is not real representation , and is , therefore , no representation at all . " i . That those who have no votes for electing representatives , are the slaves of the representatives of those wl o have votes . " 5 . That where there is no representation there can be no constitutional power of taxation .

      " C . That the rich and the poor , beiug of the Same species , are nnder the same laws of nature ; and being alike capable of benefit or injury from their legislators " , necessarily have in the election of those legislators the same right ; but the rich , in defence of their liberty and property , have every advantage which wealth , knowledge , and the purchased power of others afford 'them , while the poor , destitute of these , have no security but in the pur ity of legislation , nor any means of self-defence but in the elective power . The poor , then , have an equal right , but more need , to elect representatives than tbe rich . " the people ' s bights . " 1 . That every male inhabitant of Great Britain and Ireland , ( infants , insane persons , and criminals only excepted ) is of a common right , and by the laws of God , a free man , end entitled to the full enjoyment ot political lib- 'rty .

      " 2 . That it is essential to a man ' s political liberty that he have a share either in legislation itself or in the electing of those who are to frame the laws . which , although they ought to pro . tect him in the full enjoyment of those absolute rights which are vested in him by the immutable laws of nature , may yet be fabricated to the destruction of his person , his property , his religious freedom , his family , and his fame ; that , therefore , the right to un ' - versal suffrage is an inherent right . " 3 . Thatitis a natural right of the people of this em .

      pire , and required by the principles of the constitution , that they elect a new house of representatives once at least in every year : because , whenever a parliament continues in being for a longer term than one session , then thousands who since it was chosen haveattained to man ' s st » te , ( thatis to say , the age of twenty-oneyears ) , and are , therefore , entitled to enter into immediate possession of that elective power which is their best aud most sacred inheritance , are in that case unjustly denied their right , and excluded from tbe enjoyment of political liberty .

      "i . That it is , therefore , right and just that all the male inhabitants of this kingdom ( infants , insane persons , and criminals excepted ) shall fully , fairly , and completely enjoy the elective franchise , that is to say , universal suffrage ; that in order to protect the poor elector against tyranny , the voting shall be by ballot—that the parliaments shall be annual—that the property qua . lification shall be abolished—that the whole empire shall be divided into equal electoral districts , and that the representatives of the people shall be paid . " MEANS TO ACHIEVE THOSE BIGHTS . " 1 . By creating a public opinion in favour of those rights and principles , through the medium of public meetings , petitions to parliament , discussions , lectures , cheap publications , and the newspaper press , and also by securing the return of members to parliament , pledged to support the object of Chartism .

      " 2 . By raising the requisite funds , by subscriptions and voluntary donations , to defray the expenses incurred in achieving the object .

      Monday. Westminster Stephen Gammon, A Br...

      MONDAY . WESTMINSTER Stephen Gammon , a bricklayer , was charged with violently assaulting Julia ( Villon , a decent-looking woman , and destroying her property . Complainant said that the defendant , for whom she washed , came to her residence *> n Saturday night , and asked for bis linen . She requested him to wait for a few minutes , as it was not quite ready , when defendautasked her to have a game at ciibbage with him , and , upon her refusal , used the most filthy lunguage to her , and seizing

      a very heavy mahogany stool , hurled it at her head . She stooped , and it fortunately escaped her . but from the violence with which it had been thrown , was broken into pieces , and knocked down some rockery ware . Defendant th-n attacked her with Ais fists and beat her severely . A female , who was present , having confirmed this statement . Mr . Broderip inquired whether she wished to take the case to the sessions , or would be content with his adjudicating upon it . Complainant wished the magistrate to dispose of it . Mr . Broderip said that defendant must pay a fine of £ 5 , or be committed for two months , and pay the amount of damage .

      CLERKESWELL , —Distcbbauce at a Funeral . — Daniel O'Leary , aged 16 , was charged with having been drank and disorderly , in St . Luke ' s Church-yard , during a funeral , and with having assaulted tbe gravadigger . It appeared that on Sunday afternoon the prisoner's grandmother was interred in the above burial ground . The prisoner had nat been invited to follew as a mourner , and on the arrival ef the funeral procession at the grave , the prisoner was there in a state of intoxication . Being remonstrated with by his brother-in-law , he challenged to fight him and others of the mourners whilst they were lowering the coffin into the grave , andon being interfererd with by the grave digger he struck him and cut bis lip . A policeman was called and the prisoner was given into custody . The clergyman and other witnesses gave evidence as to . the violent conduct of the prisoner . He was convicted in the penalty of 40 s . or one months imprisonment .

      THAMES . —An Exiled Polish Nobleman . — Some time since the Count de Jaz Dembicki applied at this court under the-following circumstances , He said that he was cousin to the late King of Poland , and also closely allied to the Duke of Lorraine . Being obliged to quit hi . < country in the late Polish revolution , he took refuge in thi < i country , where his necessities were liberally relieved ; but fearing to tire out his friends , and having prospects of permanent employment in the United States of America , he was desirous of going out as an emigrant to that country . The magistrate told the old gentleman , who was grey-headed and much advanced in years , bearing several military decorations of honour upon his person , that the funds placed at the disposal of that court were intended for specific purposes , within any of which hie ease did not come . Mr . Yardley Called attention to a letter which he received in ihe above case , and which ran as follows : —

      " Chard , Somerset , Dec ., 19 , 1846 . " Sir , —Can you find out the name of the Polish nobleman about whom I wrote to you a few days sinc < s ? Have the goodness to take such steps as are necessary to find his addres , and you will oblige " Your obedient servant , "E . J . BUBSELL . " Mr . Tardley expressed his hope that the press would give publicity to the letter . ' MARLBOROUGH-STRBET . — A Female Champion . —Mrs . Benjamin Caunt , the wife of the pugilistic champion , was summoned before Mr . Hardwick for having drubb"d John Gill . The complainant is a baker , living iu Pentonville . On Saturday night week he was about leaving Caunt ' s house , when a demand was made on him for fire shillings , which he acknowledged he was indebted He replied he would pay the next time he came to the house , and he thought it was wrong to be importuned for

      the small amount , especially as " Ben" owed him two guineas . Mrs . Caunt , hearing these words , came out of the bar , and said , " Does Ben owe you anything—then I'll pay you this way , " at the same time giving him a coup ' . e of facers which for severity would have done no discredit to her husband ' s powers . Tbe defendant then went into the bar , and as he was very angry at being assaulted , and at finding that his mouth was filled with blood , he used some rough language to the defendant . Caunt , who was in the bar , then came round , and saying he would not allow his wife to he abused , put him out of tVe house . Mrs . Caunt did not deny tiie assault . She had been provoked to use her fists in consequence ef certain insulting epithets applied to her by tha complainant in the first instance . A witness was called , who said the complainant made use of bud language to Mrs . Caunt before he was struck . Mr . Hardwick said , that under the circumstances of the case , he should dismiss the summons .

      Monday. Westminster Stephen Gammon, A Br...

      " LAMBETH : —Desperate Outbaqe at Mahlborough House . —Six City paupers , belonging to Marlborough House , Peckham , and whose ages ranged frem fourteen to eighteen years , were placed at the bar before Mr . Elliott—Ona on a charge of felony , and the other five with being guilty of a most violent outrage in the establishment , and with having broken no less than 167 squares of glass . Prom the testimony of Mr .. Richards , the proprietor of Marlberough House , several of his servants , and three or fourof the paupers of the establishment , it appeared that the prisoners , who were pr . upers belonging to the City of London , had been guilty of various offences for some time past , such as petty theft , assaulting the other paupers , throwing snoiv . balli

      at the aged inmates and pilfering their allowances , and for these they had been brought before the Board of City guardians , who sat at Marlborough House , and who directed that they should be taken before a magistrate at this Court to be dealt with according to law for tin-irrespective offences . Finding this to be the determination of the Board , four of the prisoners armed themselves with bludgeons , sallied into the dining hall , and before they could be secured , smashed no less than 167 squares of glass , of the value of near £ 8 . While waiting in tlie hall of Mr . Richard's private dwelling , the prisoner Cox flung a piece of iron , which he had concealed about him , through a square of plate glass , of tbe value of 20 s ., and smashed it to pieces .

      The prisoners in reply to the charge said , that for any offance of which they had formerly been guilty , they bad suffered tho penalty of the law ; jet when tliey went back to the house , their allowance was so stinted that they were nearly starving . Mr . Richards denied this ; and Mr . Elliott said , it was quite clear that they had been guilty of very violent conduct , and for this he wonld convict them in a penalty of £ 5 each , the value of tho glass destroyed , or in default two months , imprisonment . One prisoner was ordered to pay an additional penalty of 20 s . for the plate glass , or another month , TUESDAY .

      WOOLWICH . —John Tatten and J . Mackintosh , the stewards of the Friendly Equitable Provident Benefit Society , a club established amongst the artisans of the dockyard , were summoned to show cause why they had excluded two persons named Buchan , father and son , from the benefits of that society . It appeared from the evi . Hence , that both father and son were members of the Society , and that the son was in the receipt of sick pay ; On Saturday fortnight they cama from Welling , a distance of three " miles from Woolwich ( a sick member being al . lowed to come that distance by the rules ) to that town for the purpose of purchasing that weeks provisions . While in a shop the stewards happened to pass and saw the complainant ( Buchan , jun . ) lifting up the lid of a basket whilst his father put the goods in , This , it was con . tended , was a breach of the 18 th article of the club ,

      which provided for the exclusion of any person "doing any kind of work , or transacing any kind of business , " during the receipt of pay from the funds as a sick mem . btr . it was also proved that the complainants were seen in a public-house , where they stopped for the purpose of rest aud refreshment . On these grounds the club ex . eluded Buchan jun ., and also his father , for conniving at his conduct . Mr . Traill considered that the lilting up the lid of the basket could not bs construed into a violation of the 13 th rule of the society , as there was less labour in this than in tbe act of a man blowing his nose , which he presumed was not prohibited by the rule . The absence , however , of the complainant from his home ata distance of three miles , in a cold evening , was not just towards the Society , as retarding his recovery from sickness , and on these grouuds he refused to interfere , and dismissed the summons .

      WORSHIP-STREET . —Rebecca Hurst was charged with hating felonionsly received a large quantity of manufactured silk , the property of Messrs . Jones and Pain , silk manufacturers , in Fort- ? treet , Spitalfields . It appeared from the evidence of Mr . Michael Meyers , an umbrella-maker , in Great Alie-street , Goodman ' s-fields , th » t on the morning of Friday se ' nnight the silk iu question , amounting to 75 yards , was brought to hisshop . by a respectable-looking man ; who represented himself as n silk manufacturer , and said that being pressed for money , he was compelled to part with it at a sacrifice , and would let him have it for £ 10 . The great disparity between the value of the property and the sum asked for it having excited his suspicion , he requested the man to leave the silk and return back in the afternoon to comp lete the negooiation . He had scarcely quitted the shop .

      however , when the prisoner abruptly entered and requested an advance of £ 3 upon the silk which had just been lefthy her husband , as he was in imm ? diate want of the money . Witness decline * to comply with her request , and subsequently went round to the warehouses ot different manufacturers in the neighbourhood to exhibit the silk , which was at length identified b y the prosecutor as their property , the materials of which bad been entrusted to one of their journeymen , who had cut the work of his loom that morning , and absconded . Witness then procured the assistance of Sergeant Price , and the prisoner having called at the time appointed to receive the money , she was given into custody . After lodging her in the station house , the sergeant proceeded to the residence of her husband , who had since absconded , on searching which he discovered a large quantity ef silk bobbins and plain and knotted silk , which had been since identified by other manufacturers . Mr . Humphreys , who attended for the defence , produced a certificate of < he prisoner ' s marriage , and contended that

      his client had acted throughout under the immediate controul and direction of her husband , who was alone responsible for the alleged criminality . Mr . Heritage , however , on the piirtof ' . he prosecution , replied that although he had no intention to dispute the fact of thie prisoner ' s marriage , he was in a position to show that such a defence was rendered wholly nugatory by her previous marriage to another husband , who had been transported for a similar offence about eight years ago , and of whose existence for a considerable period after ber subsequent union he could produce the most conelusive evidence . The latter ceremony was consequently nvalied , and the prisoner must be regarded as a feme sole , and held responsible in law for her actions . Mr Bingham said that under the circumstances just stated , he felt bound to deal with the prisoner as a free and voluntary agent in the transaction , and should , therefore , send the case for the consideration of a jury . The depositions were accordingly ordered to be taken , and the prisoner was committed for trial .

      THURSDAY . WORSHIP STREET . Bio a my . —Samuel Load , late a guard upon the Eastern Union Railway , was finally examined , and committed , on a very aggravated case of bigamy . The prisoner , » native of Derby , became acquainted with a young woman named Hannah Fletcher , a servant in Lord Scardale ' s family , at Kedleston Hall , iu that neighbourhood , and in December last , when he had obtained the situation of guard on the Ipswich Railway , he married her , and brought her to London . In the course of his journeys to Ipswich ,

      however , he formed an acquaintance with a young woman named Alderton , a dressmaker there , and very respectably connected , and having in October induced her to elope with him , married her in London . In the interval he had been squandering money which his first wife had saved while in Lord Scarsdale ' s service , and even took away her watch and work box , both of which he presented to his second wife . The work box , however , contained , unknown to him , some letters which led to the discovery of his rascality , and upon his apprehension the two wives appeared against him .

      _ THAMES . —GensealFlobes ' s Expedition . —Adderley Wilcocks Sleigh , who was bailed on Wednesday , sur rendered before Mr . Yardley , to answer a charge of violating the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment and Equipment Act , and engaging and enrolling British sub . jects for a warlike expedition intended to be sent to the Equador . The witnesses were bound over to prosecute The defendant tendered bail , and his sureties were accepted . At this moment a sheriff ' s officer who had been in waiting all day for the purpose of arresting Sleigh on a Civil process for a debt of large amount , advanced towards him and laid hold of his arm . Roche , the jailor of tbe Court , said the defendant was in custody till the

      usual f e of 2 s . 6 d ., pajable on entering into a recogni . / . ¦ nice , waa paid . An altercation ensued , and at last Roche complained that a sheriffs officer was interfering with his duty and had arrested the defendant . Mr Yardley , the sitting magistrate , decided that the defen . dant could not be arrested iu that office . The sheriff ' s officer , therefore , was forced to let go his hold of the dc fendant , who retired into the gaoler's room and paid his fee . He then went out at the back door and disappeared immediately . The sheriff's officer and his employer watted in the passage of the Court until they were in . formed the defendant had made his escape , and they departed much chagrined .

      . MARYLEBONE . —A Tehmaoant . —Mrs , Bolt , wife of Mr . James Bott , of the Archery Grounds , Bays water , was charged with having threatened the life of her husband . Complainant stated that he had been married about ten years to defendant , who was bis second wife , aud that in consequence of the violence of her conduct , his life was continually in danger . She was constantly abusing and vilif ying his daughters by the former marriage , and on that morning ( yesterday ) , she rushed at him with a wooden mnllett , with which she threatened to dash out his brains . She once in her passion threw a candlestick at a large looking-glass , which was dashed to pieces . Defendant was ultimately ordered to find two securities in £ 50 each , for ber keeping the peace for the next three months .

      FRIDAY . WORSHIP . STREET . ~ In the course of the day Wil . liam Cotton , the wounded soldier whose case has excited so much public commiseration , entered the Court , accompanied by his wife and child , and communicated to Mr . Bingham that his claims had at length been taken into favourable consideration by the military authorities , at whose instance ho had undergone the customary medical inspection , preparatory to his enrolment on the list of permanent ouUpensioncrs , attached to Chelsea Hospi . tal . He had also been informed that the limited allow .

Mr . Bingham expressed his gratification that such a satisfactory turn had t . iktn place in his affairs , but said be considered it right to apprise him that his attention had been directed that morning to some inculpatory observations which had appeared in a paper , in which his case was incidentally mentioned , and a distinct imputation made against him that he was a person of unworthy character . It was due to himself as well as to the benevolent indivi .

      duals who had contributed so liberally for the relief of his family , to afford him an opportunity , if he was able to do so , to make a public disavowal of such a serious charge . The soldier , who appeared equally surprised and hurt at the alleged imputations , assured tbe magistrate that they were entirely destitute of foundation , as he had at all times used his best exertions to perform his duty with honour and fidelity , and the certificate in his discharge papers would attest the fact that he left the army with an unblemished reputation . Mr . Bingham said , that he had himself seen the certificate of his commanding

      Hull. A Discussion On The Banking System...

      HULL . A discussion on the Banking System , as connected with the working classes , took place on Sunday evenr ing last , when Mr . Tate opened the debate , and showed how the Banking system had been the means of giving the aristocracy and middle clagses the powers of carrying out their designs in the shape of Railway , Shipping , and other Companies , from which the working man was shut out . At the conclusion of the discussion- it was resolved"That in the opinion of this meeting the present system of Banking has operated injuriously upon the working classes ; also , that the thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given tothe projectors of the plan of a bank , aa adopted at the Land Con * ference , as we believe it will be an auxiliary in carrying out the Land Plan . "

      BIRMINGHAM . At the quarterly meeting , of the members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , held at Walter Thorn , 111 , Rea Street , on Monday the 2 nd inst . It was unanimously agreed that each shareholder pay a levy of 14 d ., to defray the local expenses of the present quarter , commencing December the 6 th . A unanimous opinion was expressed that immediate steps be taken , both by the members of the Land Cofhpany , and the whole body of Chartists , to liquidate the debt dua to our tried friend , generous , and confiding champion , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., as treasurer of the Defence Fund . We hope every subsecretaro engaged in the movement will consider it a duty to introduce the matter at the meetings . So that no member will be prevented from subscribing his or her share .

      CARLISLE . The members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company held their weekly meeting on Sunday afternoon , when after the usual business wasdisposed of , Mr . Gilbertson gave his report of the proceedings at Conference , which gave the greatest satisfaction . Everyone seemed highly deliglited with the establishment of a Bank of Deposit , considering it the best plan that could bo devised to forward the objects of the company . The report of the finance committee , and the resolutions passed thereon , was very satisfactory , although none of them ever doubted the integrity of Mr . O'Connor , and they would advise that gentleman to Jet his envious slanderers rail on ' unheeded , as their pitiful attempts to injure bis character only merits contempt .

      DARLINGTON . A public meeting of the members of the Darlington branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company was held last Monday night , at half-past seven , in the Christian ' s meeting room , Bowes Street , for the purpose of explaining the nature and objects of the Land plan , [ as the inhabitants of Darlington have never had an opportunity of hearing it explained before . Joseph Searle was elected to the chair , when he descanted upon tbe origin and progress of the company , which elicited great applause from the audience . Messrs . Moss and Carlton next addressed the meeting . The audience manifested a great desire to get all the information they could . We think that if one of the directors was to pay a visit to this part of the country ^ there might be a great deal of good done .

      Our meetings for the future will be held every Monday night , at half-past seven o ' clock , in the above room .

      Wakefield. The Land And The Charter.—Pur...

      WAKEFIELD . The Land and the Charter . —Pursuant to notice , Dr . M'Douall delivered a lecture on the Land , in the Theatre , on Thursday evening , December 17 th , Mr . Dawson in the chair . The Lecturer commenced by showing the advantage of removing the surplus labour out of the labour market , and putting them in possession of the Land , thereby removing the competition that at present exists in tbe manufacturing districts , and effectually putting an end to low wages . He then went on to show the advantages that a Bank of Deposit would be to the members of the Chartist Land Company , and proved that the security offered by that bank , would be better than that given by the Savings ' Banks , " for , ;' said he , '' what does the Savings '

      Bank offer you ? the Bank of England , what does the Bank of England give you ? the Government , and what does the Government give you ? why 800 , 000 , 000 in the shape of a debt , lie then proceeded to show what co-operation could do , and te do that he showed what it had done , by pointing to the East India Company , which was formed on the co-operative plan . A few merchants bought a piece of land and built a factory in Calcutta , and from time to time , they have purchased more land , until at the present time , they are possessed of nearly all the land in India . They send out- their own ships , and sailors , and soldiers . _ He then showed that the working classes by uniting their millions of pence , could accomplish what the merchants had done by their thousands of pounds .

      After the lecture , a public meeting took place to adept ( he National Petition , Mr . Joseph Horner , jun ., corn-miller , was unanimously called to the chair , who read the following fetter from Daniel Gaskell , Esq ., who intends offering himself as a fit and proper person" to represent , ( or rather mis-represent ) , the Borough of Wakefield , in the nest Parliament , but if he intends to be returned for Wakefield , he must retract what he has written , or he will meet with a " warmish reception . " Lupset Hall , December Oth , 18 tG . Sib , —I very rarely attend public meetings , and as I do not agree with those who think annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage desirable , I must beg to decline attending the meeting conteuiplatud b y the Committee , on behalf of whom you done me the honour to address

      me , I remain , Sir , Tour's respectfully , Daniel Gaskell . To W . Dawson . Letters were likewise read from Charles Waterton , E » q ., and Captain Ward , apologizing for nonattendance . The letter from Mr . Watcrton was a curiosity in its way . He refused to attend the meeting , on the ground that tho " working classes" had invaded his dominions in " large armed gangs" for the purpose of plundering him . Under those circumstances , he left the advocacy of the working classes " to those who have not been so cruelly treated by them . " The lord of Walton Hall must be taking leave of his senses in thus denouncing the working classes for the acts of a few poachers .

      The Chairman said that , it gave him great pleasure to have an opportunity of declaring his principles before an audience of his fellow townsmen , and after ably combatting the assertion that the working classes were too ignorant to have the suffrage , he called upon Mr . Dawson to move a resolu-

M'Douall , who explained clearly and satisfactorily , the " six points , " , and entered at great length ; to show the justice and equity of the People ' s Charter . The Chairman put the Petition to the meeting , which was carried without a dissentient . A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman , and the Lecturer for their services , when the meeting separated .

      TODMORDEN . Dr . M'Douall lectured here on Monday night last to a numerous and ottentive audience . The lecturer throughout gave great satisfaction , and is likely to give an impetus to the Land movement here . At the conclusion of the lecture , a resolution was passed unanimously , that a committee be appointed to assist the general election committee . -The committee elected to raise subscriptions towards paying the debt due to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., are doing well . Truro , Cornwah < . — -At our usual weekly meeting , held at the house of Mr . Edward Tregenzers , Pydarstreet , after the reading of Mr .

      The Charter And No Surrender! Meeting At...

      THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER ! MEETING At " eLY AND LYNN . The Town of Ely was roused from its usual quietude on Monday last by the announcement of a public meeting for the Land and the Charter , the first yet held in this place . The farmers were all on the alert , and , accordingly at the appointed hour in the evening , many were seen wending their way to the place of meeting , with sundry threats and misgivings at the Land and Charter having found their way to Ely . Mr . Ainger having been called to the chair , briefly introduced the business of the evening . Mr . Ernest Jones , who had been invited for the occasion , then rose to explain the plan of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company and the principles of the People ' s Charter . § In the course ol his address ,

      he met , one by one , every objection that had been urged against their justice and efficacy , pointed out the advantages to accrue from either , and called on those opponents , there present , to mount the platform and refute him if they could , They had talked largely beforehand , be was prepared to hear them now . We need not say they did not accept the challenge , and Mr . Jones concluded by hoping that those men who had not dared to contest the Chartist principle openly , when challenged , would not presume , in future , to attempt a pot-house , hole-andcorner opposition . At the conclusion of his address , which ' was enthusiastically applauded , a vote of thanks with three hearty rounds of applause were accorded to Mr . Jones , and the meeting separated with rapturous cheers for O'Connor , Duncombe , the Charter and the Land . Many joined the Land Company after the meeting .

      LYNN . Two meetings for the Land and the Charter were held in the Temperance Hall in this town on the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday last . There are , probably , few towns in England more under the controul of shopocracy than Lynn , and accordingly , they attempted by every means in their power to prevent the attendance of the working classes . Their object was , however , frustrated , and the principles of the People's Charter have once more found their way and established their footing in this place .

      Mr . Ernest Jones delivered two lectures , the first on the Land , and the ensuing evening on the Charter . Mr . Bunton and Mr . Scott acted as chairmen on these occasions . The lecturer was loudly applauded during the course of either lecture , and concluded his address with the following words : —I am aware of the subjection in which working men are held in this town , I am aware of the corrupt money power that reigns here , We throw down the challenge to this monied aristocracy of Lynn . We have come among them and they'll not get rid of us again . What ? Do those pitiful money-grasping shopocrats think , now that it has come here , the glorious Charter will allow them any longer to trample upon labour ? I see many of you , rich men of trade , presentin this room . Men much mere powerful than you , by the side of whom you are puling babes , great , terrible ,

      factorykings ot the north , are quailing before the powers of the Charter , and do you , you miserable scrapers of the poor man ' s earnings across your dirty counter , you little grinders of the working man , think you can resist us ? There you stand before me—and besides you stand the honest men you cheat—mock-Christians ! besides you stand the brothers you oppress , —why do you not mount this platform ?—why do you not face your working men , tell them you have aright to trample on them , that God made the Bastile for the poor man's age , that God built palaces for you ?—why do you not say you are of a superior race , that Ged made two Adams , one for the rich and another for the poor ?—why do you not tell them you will send again for a regiment from Norwich , to intimidate those who intend no violence , that you may clip the workman ' s wages and take ten shillings from the seaman ' s pay , as you did before ?

      This platform is a tribunal—this Hall a court ol justice—I am your accuser—you are mi-. erable culprits , and the working men are the judges ! Now what have you to say in your defence ? Ha ! your power is gone . ' your boast has died . ' you hear us coming , and you dare not wave us back , you see us rising and you cannot strike us down . But , mark me ! Do not presume to punish and . oppress your working men because they have had the courage to ceme here , and hear and think a little for themselves . We know your old game 1 We have our eye upon you . Again and again we shall come here and see how you have benefitted by this warning , And remember ! we have a Trade Union to assist the struggle of labour , we have a Land Company to guarantee the support of labour , and we will have a Charter to ensure the triumph of labour .

      Frequent bursts of applause testified to the truth of these words , and the meeting separated with three cheers for the Charter and O'Connor . The National Petition received a large accession of signatures .

      Russia . —A friend of ours has returned from and European tour , in which he went the length of St _ Petersburgh , residing there for some time . He had every opportunity of observing the manners of all classes , from the highest to the lowest ; and from the information he gives us , we are disposed to believe , despite some of our Russianised journals , that thepictures given by the Marquis de la Custine and Ivan Golovine , of Russia and Austria , are substantially correct . The basest idolatry of rank is everywhere prevalent ; and the tourist was forced , notwithstanding all his efforts and protestations , tobear the title of count , to which he had no earthly pretension , and no wish to lay claim , and to submit to be fleeced and cheated in proportion . He describes the Russians as distinguished by a totaldisregard of trtifh , every one lying from the cabman to the noble , and only ashamed at being detected in it . Russia must undergo some dreadful convulsionbefore it can take its place among civilised nations . —Edinburah Weekly Register .
