Colonel Fletcher , being called to the chair , briefly explained the object of the meeting , after which , Captain Courtenay Boyle read an address , which it vras proposed to adopt , declaratory of the hi _^ h sense which the meeting entertained of the conduct of-the French neople _, national guard , and provisional government , on the occasion ofthe late revolution , in protecting the property of English subjects in Paris ;

      snd expressive of a hope that friendly relations might continue to exist between France and England . Several gentlemen intimated their concurrence in the views thus set forth , and amongst them Captain Jennings dec ' ared , that he possessed property . near Pari 3 , which he had not the slightest idea of disposing of , having perfect confidence in the eventual prosperity of the country under the new government . The address wa 3 then carried by acclamation ; a vote of thanks was passed to Colonel Fletcher for his very proper conduct in the chair , and the meeting separated .

      IMPORTANT FROii GERMANY . Musics , March 4 . —The great excitement caused bythe French revolution has had its effect ; the day before yesterday it was known the King would make some change in the di _^ _ositian ofthe _military , whieh caused considerable dissatisfaction . Towards evening a crowd of people went through the streets , huzzaing the citizens and the military ; the latter did not attack the people , but remained passive . Tue crowd then broke the windows of the house of the Minister ofthe Interior ( Bergh , ) and demolished his private residence in the _Ludwig-streel ; after which they flung stones at tin houso of the Ministry in the Theatiner-street . In the same manner the palace was treated , and there were some cries heard , : 'Away with . Ludwig ! ' ' Vivat Luitpold . "

      On the side of the palace , overlooking the Hofgarden , where the crown aad state apartments are , all the windows were broken , and the portrait of Lola 3 _dontes , distinguished amongst others there , was very much injured . Another reason for the excite _, meat was , tbat her house in the Bsrrier-street had been carefully restored , and the King went there daily . The excitement lasted till four o ' clock in tha raorning . Yesterday tae citizens presented an address to the King , asking for the liberty of the press , the call of the Chamber , -Seo . The King desired time to consider . This morning there ¦ was to ba seen on all the corners of the streets a proclamation , beginning , 'We , Ludwig , by the _grice of God' { the latter printed with very large letters ) promising that the _Cuarabera should be called on the 31 st of May . But this delay did not

      satisfy the people , nor would they permit the words « God ' s grace , ' The people cried , ' Not by God ' s j grace , hut by us , the Bavarians , is he King of ; Bavaria . ' And there was again the greatest _' alarm . Before the town house were collected the citi- ' _jsna and the students _^ waiting for tha King ' s ! reply . Hearing that their d ? siro was not granted , j % hey attacked , tha building . Then they _^ ent to the arsenal , and threw the arras out of the windows . The crowd then proceeded to the Maximilian-place , in a very menacing attitude . But at this moment Prince Charles , brother of the King , galloped up on horseback , attended by his adjutant . He held in his hand the signature of tha King , promising that the Chambers should be called in twelve -days , on the 16 th ef Slarch , by which news _^ he publio -were in some degree satisfied . At this moment , seven o ' cloek , p . m ., all is tranquil .

      Hess 2 _Caisel —By accounts up to the 6 th inst . the . _Prince Elector had dismissed the obnoxious minister , Herr Scheffer . All the prince ' s family have removed ta _Wilkelmshole , The greatest excitement prevails inHanau and CasHel . Hs 53 E Houbcbg . —The Landgrave has acceded to , all the popular demands made to him . _Heidelbsrg —At a meeting on the oih inst ; , of official delegates from Prussia , Bavaria , _Wurtemfcerg , Baden , Hess 9 Nass _» _u and Frankfort , it was resolved to urge their respective governments not to interfere in the aff lire of France . Another meeting ¦ vrill be shortly convoked . _GotHA . —The citizens have demanded a constitution , with aa elective chamber .

      LsiPaic—When the students of the university ¦ were assembled in the Aula , and were addressed by the rector , he called upon them to declare that they would take no part whatever in the popular movement of the times . To this about one in ten or fifteen answered in the affirmative ; the rest were silent . In the course of the evening the other students wrote a declaration , stating that they had aot only withheld their afannation , bnt tbey _nishly approved of the new movement , and would consecrate all their powers to it . In order that , there ? might be no mistake in their sentiments , they proceeded in a large body to the residences of Robert Blum-Arnold Ruge , Professor Biedennann . and Otto Wigan , who have lately spoken rery decided _^ against the Saxon ministry , and saluted them with songs and ' vivats ; ' they likewise cordially greeted the _comtannal guard , which wsa patrolling the city in great numbers .

      THE LONDON CONFEDERALISTS . There is not a _Confederalist in London but what is a Chartist , and tbe change that has been wrought on many of them by the br _* ve Parisians , is most inspiring ; moral force is to be Huns to the wind , aod a oold front is to be shown to the _despicable Whigs . There is to be a _lars e meeting oftho Irish in London after the great meetings forthe Charter and Repeal , hive come off at Manchester and other _t- » wns . Mr William Smith O'Brien is to pre side ; but it has been said he will not preside over any section of Irishmen . An address of congratulation to the French people is to ho adopted , with which he will proceed to Paris , to present it to tbe provisional _i- 'ovemment' A good time is _coming boys . ' Let but only one shout be heard from Johnny _Grnats to Land ' _s-End , snd from Cape Clear to the Giants' Causeway—the ' Charter and Repeal '—as a means to an end .

      Irish Democratic Confederation. A Publio...

      IRISH DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERATION . A publio meeting was held on Friday last at the large room of the Star Coffee House , _Goldan-Iane . Long before the hour of meeting the room , staircase , and every nook was densely crowded , and many wero obliged to go awav unable to gain _admission . At eight o ' clock Mr . Westmorland was called to the chair . The following were the resolutions adopted , wh _' ch , together with the speeches of ihe different a- _eakers , were received with the most enthusiastic c ' : eers . Moved by Mr Clancy , and s « con « Sed by Mr Murray : — * That the highest meed of praise from thiB meeting is due and hereby given to the _bravi-Democrats of Paris for their noble and successful struggle in favour of the rights of man , by which

      glorious victory they have given to tie people of France theirinalienablorights , 'Universal Suffrage , ' and set an example of hope , _c-wfidenee _, and perseverance to the enslaved nations of tbe world . ' Moved by Mr C M'Carthy , feconded by Mr Martin , ' That the heartfelt thanks of tbis meeting are hereby tendered to M . Lamartine , Ledrc-Rollin , and tbe other members of the provisional government of Paris fer the firmness end prudence displayed in support of Democracy against the designs and machinations of oliga'cbical legitimacy ! royal baby worshippers and other pretended friends of the people of France ' . ' Moved oy Mr J . Bez _^ r , and seconded by Mr Goodfellow , — 'That this meeting , in approving ofthe up-Tight example of the French Republicans , is fully

      sensible ofthe moral dignity attached to men having a due regard to the protection of property and life , inculcates the practice of those publio virtues whieh shed an imperishable halo of glory around the wreath of victory so nobly won by the high minded people of Paris . ' Moved ' by Mr Gannon , and seconded by Mr Sharp : ' That it is tha 'unchangeable opinion of this meeting that the people of Great Britain and Ireland wo by nature and justice , entitled to equal privileges with the rest of mankind , and ought not to ba contented with , less . ' Moved by Mr Martin , and seconded by Mr Bezer : ' That the thanks of this meeting aro due , nnd hereby given , to the editors and proprietors of the Northern Stir , The United _Irishuan , and Edinburgh Exphess , for their ' _. advo cacy of the rights of the people . '

      The usual vote of thanka beine given to tho Chair _, man , and three chfets for the Republic af France , the Charter , Freedom to Ireland , the Stab , and the UxiTED _Ibishmas , the meeting broke _up / _resolving to meet again , and again , till tyranny should be no

      more . Tha Democrats mustered on _Sundae , at Cartright ' s : the room was crowded to excess . Mr Clancy _addressed the meeting at considerable length ; he said they should take care not to allow their exertions and admiration ofthe French people to get the better of their watchf _ulnesB and discretion . It had ever heen their rule to watch public men , and although the Irish people might omit to notice the treachery of their leaders , there wss a little band in that room that would never allow the _treaohery of Whig despotism to escape with impunity . O'Connell and his family had long disgraced Ireland . It had ever beea his policy to let the dead rest , but the base policy of O'Conneli ' s own sons forbids it . Let

      us not , in tha moment of our joy for the viotoris , neglect to cry , ' Dawn with the traitors . ' ( Loud cheers . ) Mr C . continued to point out the many objections which he held to the policy and conduct of the _O'Connells , and concluded by moving the following resolution : — 'That this meeting views not with surprise but with long pent up indignation , the conduct of John O'Connell , M . P ., relative to the Irish Arms Bill and other measures connected with Ireland , but particularly with regard to the question of Repeal . This meeting is of opinion that hiB having placed a notica on the paper of the House of Commons relative to Repeal , and being absent when called on fay the Speaker , also his excuse of making a tour of Ireland to take the opinion ofthe people , unfits him for the support or confidenceof the toiling millions of Ireland for the following reasons : — Firstly , because his excuse is giving indirectly , the lie to the oft reiterated assertion of his father , * that

      the heart of Ireland _wasSxed on repeal . ' Secondly , _becsnsait is a wanton insult to tha people of Ireland , who have for years paid tribute and subscribed hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Repeal rent ; and Thirdly , because it ia a gross violation of his parliamentary duties . Mr Bezer seconded the resolution , and ably exposed the _tricke-y of Conciliation Hall . _Messra Smythe , Walter , Cooper , M'Carthy , Martin . _^ Waddeok , and others , followed in a similar strain till a late hour . The resolution was put from the ohair , and a forest Of hands _uGClSfed the indignation that John O'Conneil had kindled in eV _;^ bosom . Mr Fremely highly complimented the Democrats _^ ill ? _glonoas success which they had achieved by their _deterai . _^ r ! . z ? al and persef & rance . They had proved one thing , that they were capable , _filene and unaided by riny party , to hold a demonstration in favour of liberty . A great number of members were then enrolled , and the meeting broke up .

' That it ia the opinion of this meeting , that any endeavour to limit tbe principles of the National Land Company wonld bs unwise and selfish in the extreme , but at the same time we think it weuld be better tbat another body ofjdirectors should have the management of any other company _Hthat may be formed , conceiving the _centralisation of power in the hands of a few to be opposed to demooratic principles .

      Rhe Great Open Air Meeting In Trafalgar-...

      rHE GREAT OPEN AIR MEETING IN _TRAFALGAR-SQUARE .-BRUIALITY OF THE POLICE .

      _InconsequeBofift-f Mr Charles Cochrane having advertised a publio meetine to be held in Trafalgarsquare , on Monday , March 6 th , at one o ' clock , 'To demand the repeal of the Income Tax , or the immediate surrender of the reins of government b y the Ministers , ' an immense assemblage of both sexes were present ; in fact , frem the Union Club on one side to St Martin ' s Church on the _^ other , and from the National Gallery to below the statue ol King Charles at _Charing-cr . 'S 3 f was filled with human _beinas . Meanwhile Mr Cochrane , who had called the meeting , neVer made his appearance , for tbe Home Office had raked up au old obsolete law , 51 George _thd Third , chap . 19 , and the commissioners wrote to that effect to Mr Cochrane . Mr Cochrane therefore abandoned his intention , did not attend the meeting he had called , and sent out instead a number of men carrying the following placard : —

      The commissioners of police having declared tbat tho public meeting to bs held this day in Trafalgar . tq . uare , against the income tax , is Illegal , Mr Cochrane reapectfully , but _earnestly , requests that the public will not congregate or remain in the square , but return quietly and orderly to their homes . He deeply regrets , in consequence of the decision of the commissioners , he has put ths public to bo much unnecessary inconvenience . — Monday Morning , March 6 , 1 S 48 . This announcement was received with indignation by the people , who tore tho bills to shreds , and determined on holding their meeting ; when Mr G . W . M . Reynolds , the author , was called to the chair , and several able addresses were delivered , congratulatory of the French people—against the Income Tax—defnunciatory of the present system tf taxation—in avour ofthe People ' s Charter . Mr Wilson made an excellent Bpeech ; and

      resolutions and a petition were adopted . The meeting gave thundering cheers for the brave Parisians , and the People ' s Charter , and the meeting was then peaceably dissolved , on which Mr Reynolds ' was cheered up the Strand to his residence in Wellington-street , where he addressed the people from , the balcony of his house . About three o ' clock , as the meeting was dispersing in the utmost order , some sleek well-fed man asserted that the people _assembled were lazy , and would not work—that they-could get work if they wanted it , which caused an indignant feeling , and he was reprimanded fir his libellous language on the suffering sons of toil ; Some slight excitement having been created , the police commenced a violent and unprovoked interference . When remonstrated with by the people , they drew their staves , and began an onslaught , cutting and wounding the people indiscriminately in all directions .

      The people , astonished at this uncalled for outrage , stood to their defence , when a body of the'A ' division of police , who appeared to have been ready and prepared for what happened , marched up in a body . But the people closed in upon tbem ; the space which they " cleared , one moment , was again tilled up—and they were driven back to Scotl and ' yard . Strong reinforcements of police now poured in on all sides , as at a preconcerted signal , and commenced a fresh attack on the defenceless populace . The police then pulled down the boarding on the north side of the Nelson eolumn , and occupied the enclosure . The police divisions from A to F were brought out and numerous captives were made , while frequently the maimed and bleeding victims of the brutality of the police were carried to the hospital . Some of the Coldstream Guards mixed among the crowd , and became exceedingly popular .

      Oue of the daily papers says of this disturbance—* Had the rioters shown a little more pluck , they might have madetheir demonstration something more formidable than a street row . ' By six o ' clock the populace showed every inclination te desist from violence if left unmolested , but , after this ' time , some turbulent characters mixed with the people , evidently not belonging to those who had taken part in the magnificent demonstration of the day . They began tearing down and breaking some of the lamps . The police having been again brought out in great force , some aeveve Bkirmishiug touk place , and heavy blows were exchanged on both sideB . Men , women , and children were now _savagely assailed and struck by the police—even passers-by merely _giing on their Own business . Seven or eight persons are so much injured , that they were removed to Charing-crosshospital _tohave their _woundsdressed . One poor boy was su badly wounded , that little hopes of hia recovery are held out .

      The people became once more exasperated , and shortly _^ before nine o ' clock , a detachment of the crowd , consisting probably of' 200 persons , dashed off towards Pall Mall , ' amidst loud cheering . Many of them were armed with pieces of wood , snatched from the palisade at the NelBon Column ; and as they proceeded along the Mall , now and then broke a street lamp or a window . Several squares of _glaBs were broken at the Reform Club ; indeed , all along , as far as St James ' s Palace . . A portion of the crowd entered St James ' s Park by the Duke of York ' s Column , and another portion by Stafford House . Here they destroyed a great many lamps , and at length a cry was raised , 'To the Palace . ' In the direction of Buckingham Palace they accordingly

      proceeded , breaking almost every lamp in the range lining the south side ofthe walk , those on the north being left untouched . In front of the palace two or three of the large lamps were demolished ; the _liuarda were called ont , and the crowd passed out at Buckingham-gate into James-street , and some evil disposed persons who had joined them demolished a considerable number of shop windows in the lower part of James-street and York-street ; they also _foraibly entered __ ene or two bakers' shops and demanded and obtained bread . In one shop they contented themselves with taking four loaves , but at

      another , after tha baker had thrown out to them a large quantity of bread , they demolished his window . In one instance only , they also stopped at a publican ' s and a few of them compelled the landlord to regalo them with beer . Proceeding by thia route through Westminster , they reached _Strutton-ground _, when a party of police encountered tbem and took one or two into custody . They then rushed round Westmiuster Abbey , got into Parliament-street , and thence found their way to _Charing-cross , from which they had originally started . Here they gradually diminished , and by twelve o ' clock Trafalgar-square was almost entirely cleared .

      _Tubspat . — In the morning a few boys had 'gathered together at play in the square , and were playing at horses , around the fountains , and some ef tbem tore pieces of the boarding that had been damaged the preceding evening , the police appeared in large numbers , composed ofthe ABODE and F divisions , under the command of Mr Commissioner Mayne and Superintendents Have . ? , Pearce , Hnghea and _Beresford , and chased tho boys round and round the square , but , not content with this , they used their staves with brutal severity , and several were again taken to hospitals bleeding snd maimed . About 3 . 000 police were in the neighbourhood . This atrocious ¦ - » soon attraoted a orowd , and shortly befor * 12 _vioreuw -vrere thrown from tho _terraes . By o clock some _stouo- _«_ , _„ . * j j " u _« _ot : * . . _™» B » u » . .. —bled and moved down ¦

      _u . five or six a largo body had asm .. _. „ _^ _j , Whitehall and Parllamept-atreefc , —and by tu .. _,. ' < police bad been frhely somewhat withdrawn , and in proportion to their withdrawal , order was restored _. On Wednesday great excitement prevaUed—but the police , seeming ta have had somewhat of a lesson , did not obtrude , and _consequently , thero was comparatively quiet . In the _eveaiDg , however a body of mounted police , & rised with cutlasses , rode through the principal streets , at tha west-end of town , ' The only effect of tbis demonstration * says a dally London paper , ' appeared to ui to be that a crowd ol gaping ragamuffins were thus collected , who might Otherwise have been taking up ' iheir usual lodging under the dry arches of somo of the" metropolitan bridges . Indeed , we greatly queBtion whether tho pretence of tho polico in _laige numbers hai not had tho effect of very much increasing the original excitement . '

      Indeed—the whole disturbance owes Its origin to the _infauious and brutal _cenduotof the polico , and calls for a 6 ' _gnal reprobation from the entire people , who would be _slaveB and cowards to permit such _lndiacrlmvaato bloodshed .

      Commotions At Glasgow. On Mond Ay A Larg...

      COMMOTIONS AT GLASGOW . On Mond ay a large portion of the destitute unemployed assembled on Glasgow Green , in order to take steps for laying their oiroumstaacee before the _raagistraies , and other members of the Relief Committee , who , they were informed , had upwards of £ 2 . 000 in their hands for such _objeats of relief . An immense concourse waa assembled at twelve o ' clock , they were addressed by several speakers of their own order , at the close ot which the immense mass ( proceeded through the Green up into the principal streets , and from thence they waited upon the leading

      authorities of the town , when it is understood that , not havin g got a satisfactory answer to their demand for immediate relief , they were greatly annoyed . The crowd after this proceeded , by way pf Neil » _onstreet , into 'i ' rongate and the principal streets , where they broke open bakers' shops , victuallers' shops _, gunsmiths' shops , and all the prominent warehouses where thoy could find either food , guns , or pistols . We may mention that the violence was not partaken in by the _unemployed directly , except in so far as the bread shops were concerned ; but the thieves and hlackcuarda "f the town were the real depredators .

      Tho military were called out , also tbe police , and the wealthy inhabitants at once came forward to aid the authorities to put down the tmeale . At the hour we write the streets are still crowded , and . not quieted . All the shops are shut—business is completely suspended . The Post Office deliveries have not been sent out this afternoon . A number of men have been apprehended _^ Night ia coming on , and it is impossible at present to say what may be the ultimate result . , , . ' Besides breaking open the shops , several carts laden with meal were stopped in the most public streets , and completely emptied in a few moments . __ An express was sent to Edinburgh for a portion of the military stationed in that city , in addition to the force in Glasgow .

      The fiM shop broken open was tbat of Mr Anderson , baker , Troncate , from whieh a large quantity of bread was carried off ; from thence the crowd proceeded to the shop cf Messrs Young , _Gallowgate , whence they Carried off several guns . The riot then assumed a much more serious appearance , as the gathering was joiped by a numbpr of unemployed _navigators and other parties , and who were not inbahit ' _anta of-Glasgow . Tbey then proceeded toenttr a number of bakers' and provision shops in _Lrndenstreet , Argyle-street , and Buchanan-street , breaking the windows of the houses as they proceeded . At the foot of tbe last named street they seized acart laden with meal , which was soon distributed amongst the women and _bi-ys . Amongst other shops _entered were those of Mr B . _Mui _^ rove at the'Cros _* , Mr

      Landelbin Candlcriggs , Mr Martin , in Exchangesquare , Messrs Paton in the Salt-market , where a great number of fire-arms were taken . A few shots were fired aa the orowd proceeded onwards , at the same timo cries were raised of 'Bread or Revolution , ' ' Vive la Republique , ' and others of a similar diameter . The alarm by this time was widely spread , and the shops wero closeii 'n many parts of the town . Thc police could do little against such a body , so that the military were called out , at five o ' clock . A strong body of infantry , followed by a troop of cavalry , marched along the principal streets , headed by _Bailliea Brown and Oir . The riot act having been read at the Cross and the Exchange , steps were taken to dear _those localities . In the meantime other bodies of the people

      proceeded in different directions , entering provision stores and other shops and warehouses in several parts of the town . During the evening the crowd in the streets was very great , and the greatest alarm was felt . At tbe time the mail left a large reinforcement of troops was expected from Edinburgh . Another writer gives the following account of the causes of this outbreak : — Considerable excitement has prevailed far some days ameng the unemployed , of whom there are _tseveral thousands in Glasgow and its suburbs , and for whom no public provision is made by the Poor

      Law system of _Scstland . Repealed applications having been made to the _magistrates without producing any effeotual relief , the unemployed resorted last week to the expedient of hoidW meetings on the Green ; and on Saturday night a distribution of meal took place in' the City-ball , hy order of the authorities . It was also announced that soup kitchens would be opened to-day , for the relief of the _ablebsdied in a state of destitution . To-day a large crowd accordingly assembled at the City-hall to obtain the soup tickets , but from some cause or other these were not prepared for them-OUTRAOX BV THE OlJT-PB « 8 I = » SBB 8 .--FlVa _PbRSONS

      Murdered . Tuesday , ©« k _o'Clock—The military and _outpensionera are still under arms . Rioting haa now _oommeneed at Bridgeton , where an attempt had been made to stop a mill . The _outpensieners have behaved with unexampled _savageness . They were ordered to fire by _Superintendent Smart , of the Calton police . A poor old man _wasshot through the head ; his brains and blood bestrewed the pavement at the corner of Muslin-street . Another younger man had also been shot , and three young boys , who chaneed to be near the place where the people were assembled , were shot , but vrere still in life . The excitement amongst the working population frora the mills , who by this this time were collected in crowds ,

      was very great . Tho out-pensioners , to the number of eighteen , who had committed this aot , under the orders of Superintendent Smart of the Calton police , quitted the scene amidat tho shouts and im _precations ofthe people , and made their way into Glasgow at dbuble . quick time , followed by Dr Campbell , who had examined the bodies . About fifteen minutes afterwards a troop of cavalry , with Captain Pearce at their head , entered Bridgeton at a canter , ana were received by the populace with great cheering . In the midst of the display , one of the dead bodies of the men who had been shot was carried down Main-street on a deal _boardsupporttd on the shoulders of six or

      , eight men , and followed by a concourse of mourners , who ever and anon shouted * military murder 1 ' The dragoons at once made way for the passage of the mournful cortege , by taking the opposite Bide of the road , so tbat thc body and its followers passed without interruption . On inquiry amongst the people who were assembled at the different corners ot the streets and on the pavements , we ascertained tbat the cause of the shooting waa , that a number of boys had , in the first instance , commenced throwing clods nnd stones at the oat-pensioners , thst one boy was made prisoner for so doing , tbat the crowd effected his rescue , and that Captain Smart gave orders to fire , when five individHals fell after the first discharge .

      Thus this sanguinary policeman ordered troops to fire on the people , because a few hoys threw mud and atones . One of the persons shot ( James Alexander , provision dealer ) wss , until one o ' clock in the morning employed as a constable for preserving the peace , and on this occasion he had just come out of his own shop , to dissuade the people from standing in the streets . At the time we left , the factory workers in that locality with horror and trepidation , were point ing out to each other the place where the old man ' s blood wm spilled , and truly a lamonfcablo sight it * _ras ' _*>« k upon . ¦

      COMMOTION IN MANCHESTER . On Tuesday evening , a large crowd of working men and women assembled in front of the workhouse , in Tile-street , demanding the liberation of the inmates , immured in the bastile . A strong band er police were marched to the spot- The disturbances commenced as early as three o ' clock in the afternoon , and it was not until after seven that the people were driven from the neighbourhood . The entire police force ate _assembViBg at their offiee .

At Messrs Birlcy ' s mill they met with the most resolute opposition from the police , and were compelled to retire .

      A sharp skirmish took place in _Blackfriars-street _, near the Exchange , between them and a strong party of pelice , headed by Captain Willis , in which the latter did not exhibit much moderation . The crowd , however , for the time , were effectually routed . All the shops are temporarily closed .

      AS 8 _EUBLT Rohms , 83 . Dean-street ; Soho , Feb -20 th . —Mr John Milns was unanimously re elected treasurer ot tho Westminster Land Branch , and Mr ( j _rassby _wasalBounanimously . elected secretary in the room of Mr . T . _Pickeragill , who goes to take possession of his allotment at Minster Lovel . Mr Wilson then gave notice of the following motion for next Sunday evening ; — ' That it is the _opinion of tbis locality , that unless the members of the Land Company , commence Redemption Societies aud make weekly payments thereto , there will be _no'possibility of ths sixty thousand members being located for very irany years ; we are therefore of opinion , that Redemption Societies should be recommended for the consideration ofthe next Conference , the same

      to be based on the plan of the building societies , to terminate in twelve years ' . Mr T . Clark appeared on behalf of the Directors , to explain their motive for writing the article that appeared in the Star of the 12 th ult ., commenting upon some observations said to have been made by Mr GrasBby . — -Mr Grassby stated tbat he never did complain of the Directors running into the country , he merely stated in reply to those that did say so , that a resolution was passed at the last Conference requesting them to remain in the office , and although such motion does not appear in the report of the last Conference there is something implied by the observations made , to warrant the belief that Bucb . was the understanding . Mr Grassby said he considered the letter bi the Directors an attempt on their part to _prevent an independent man giving ezpression to bis sentiments . He was also of opinio *) tbat his name being mixed up with the _DiirFATAcn would

      create an opinion in the country that he was a partisan of that paper . He also , thought the concluding portion of the second paragraph to be both vindictive and uncalled for . Mr Grassby also contended , that there never would be any real satisfaction with the reports of Conferences until such time as there should be a supplement of the Star , containing a verbatim report of the whole proceedings frora an accredited reporter—the extra expenee of suoh supplement he believed would be cheerfully paid for by the members ; if this had been the _ca _* e at the last Conference , much of the variety of opinion that has lately been expressed would have been spared . It was then proposed and seconded , ' That it is the opinion of this locality , that even supposing it be true , that Mr Grassby used the words as stated in the Directors' lettor , we are of opinion that their letter is too vindictive and uncalled for , ' Mr Clark stated that tho Directors were _baund to notice the

      ohserrations of Mr Grassby in the manner tbey did , or the people would suppose that thev Wove continually running into the country and neglecting the business of the Company . He was also of opinion that no such motion had passed at the last Conference as Mr Grassby had alluded to . Mr Clark said , if Mr Grassby had been wrongly reported he wa 3 sorry for it , and if such was the case , no body of men would be more willing than the Directors to make the amend honourable . Several of the members gave their opinion that JSMr Grassby had not used the words as set down at the head of the Directors ' letter , and complained tbat the speech of Mr Cuffay and others had been lett out of the report . An amendment was then moved and seconded : — ' That

      as it appears by the explanation of both parties that no injury was intended on either side , it is the opinion of this locality that the subject had better be set at rest . ' The amendment was carried by a large majority . Mottram . —The monthly meeting of shareholders will be held in the lecture room , on Sunday , March 12 th , at one o ' clock . The Chartists of Mottram would be most happy in co-operating with the friends of democracy in Glossop , in holding a meeting at Bridge-end of the working and middle classes , in furtherance of the National Petition .

Mr * , _? un cillor Brook presided , and commented on tbe glorious victory achieved by the people of Paris , and concluded by introducing Mr White to the meeting . Mr W . commenced by pointing out . the fundamental rights af man—explained what tbe social compact ought to be , and proved that it waa a nulity ; _shorrod the overwhelming distress whioh existed ; cited several heart-rending cases in England and Ireland ; commented on the state of trade ; and showed the utter hopelessness of it ever being resuscitated ; the

      reckless tyranny which existed in the manufacturing districts ; and proved that the English Parliament and government was nothing more than a huge machine , by which the people were plundered , and murdered by slow starvation . Mr W . dwelt at great length , and in forcible language , on the rottenness of the whole system . He then referred to the glorious revolution is Paris , and asked them whether they were not in & worse position than the French ? Whether they really _sympathised with suoh a noble and soul-stirring deed ? They often heard the boast of Englishbravary and great prowess , but he thought they were a nation of willing slaves , for at that moment they were paying for an asylum for that castaway tyrant Louis Philippe . He would test their

      sincerity . The West Riding of Yorkshire was - ¦ elebrated as the cradle of liberty . Leeds was the centre , and that hall was the largest which was at the people ' s disposal in the riding . He would , therefore , propose a West Riding meeting on Sunday nest , at Peep-green—( loud cheers )—and that the men then present should pay the preliminary expenses . ( Hoar , bean ) He was as poor as any of them , but would pay His share . The time waBcome for action , and if they wanted the Charter , let them set about it , like men who were in earnest . Mr White was warmly applauded _throughout his address—at the oonolusion of which , upwards ef £ 2 were collected , and the management of the business entrusted to the

      me uny , _^ u rauwuy amj hnrn 3 some of th- sa , tore up ovcry railroad round Paris br i down embankments , and cut _through bridges with e _' and dezterity . Paris was thus isolated , and the r _^ _zens and _Moopa within leit to fight it out , Should train , laden with voraeious _rarrcenaries dash ontbe Dy puffing and panting end acreaming , it and its 0 Urd e ' would _tumblu down to Erebus of ics own accord withf . troubling any one . The city ( Dublin is supposed ) being how cut off from without , the * work within ia simple _enough ' And here is the * work' suggested by " _aj-Mitchel : —

      1 . Every street is an excellent shooting gallery for disciplined troops , but it is a better defile in which to take tbem . In the _yecabulary of drilling- there U na such phrase aa ' Infantry—prepare for window . p » brickbats , logs of wood , _chimaoy-pieces , hsa » j _furrmu ' light palters , _&» . ; nnd these thrown vertically on ths heads ofa column below from the elevation ofa _parapet or top story are _irresistible , Tbe propelling forceg via , ladies or chambermaids , or men who can d o no better , have the additional advantage of security ; nnd tho narrower the _streut and tha higher the hou « e , the worse the damage and tbe greater the security . A mi . litary proportion we recommend to the study of the bast lady ih tbo laud .

      2 . BottleB , delph , and suoh missiles , mixed with these , or of themselves , not only kuock down and wound infantry , but render the streets _impassable to cavalry and artillery . A horse may dance on eggs , but no _nquadr-n can charge over broken bottles . Artillery cannot rido o _* er _tbtm , nor indeed can disciplined foot . _oi * h _kot-p tha step , or tread a < non _^ tbem , with _aase These admirable _hxspons abound in every home ; aad if any engineering urchin take a soda water bottle , or small flask ef thick glass , dry inside , filled with bits of stone cr iron , or metal of any sort—nails , for instance- * and _vrith _coarae gunpowder thrown into tbe interstices , cork it tight ( the cerk being perforated ) , and then ar *

      inch a judiciously adjusted fusee , be will possess a _doniestio bomb or grenade , by which he can either blow his armoff . _ir act with deadly effect against cavalry or infantry below , _especially against cavalry . To _thoje _tnisiiles . from _windows and housetops , revolutionary citizens add always boiling water or urease , or , better _, cold vitriol , if _available . Molten lead is good , but too valuable—it should be always caBt in bullets and al » lowed to sool . The housetops and spouts furnish ia every city abundance j but care should betaken , as thsy do in P _^ _ris , to ran tbe bulls solid—you cannot _calco . late on a hollow ball , and tbat . might be thc very one ac lenteri to shoot a field officer .

      3 , The _Parisians never fall into this mistake , viz ; , to attack barracks or forts in tbe first instance . Their plan is to draw the- soldiery into the narrow streets , where they can only advance a few abreast ¦ , and where bines , alleys , and streets , running at _angles , afford excellent opportunities of taking them in ti _* nk or rear , Street-fighting is most _harrassing on disciplined troopi , especially when subject to the attentions of heads of families from housetops aad windows , as we have shown above . They are divided—dhjoiuted—worn out doing nothing .
