There " -ever will , there never can be , any remedy for * i * s state of things , uuttl we have a legislature and _government wise enough aud bold enough to attack the evil at its root , and destroy the monopoly in land . Umil then , Ireland will prove the rock on which every successive administration that may he formed will founder , no matter of what party it is comp osed .

      honour if the country , lor a share or a monopoly in the diminution of Government patronage ; and adduces facts to prow the assertion . The young blood of the country will rise up against his conduct , and old humbug will be trampled in the dust in the contest O'Connell was stronger when backed by the confidence of the people , than when virtually dispensing the patronage and the emoluments of the Vice-Regal Lodge .

      One would have imagined that the party who , by _fa-se pretences , sneaked into ofiice at the close of last year , would have tried to keep at least ONE promise made by tbeir chief . Upon no subject have the Whigs been more magniloquent at all times than National Education . And in Lord John Russell ' s address to the electors of the City , on presenting himself for re-election after his appointment to office , that question was given a prominent place iu his enumeration of the measures required , and which , by implication , if not direct pledge , he promised to introduce .

      That announcement led to the belief that some such measure wonld be forthcoming next Session , and a hot , though somewhat prosy , discussion forthwith took place among the partisans of voluntary and State Education . The valiant Edward Baines the younger , led on the voluntary principle in the Leeds Mercury , and was followed by other Dissentinu Journals * , with strong protests against the principle of national instruction , which they represented as replete with " treasons , stratagems , and spoils " against public liberty . They also drew tbe most appa ' ling pictures of the results it would _producers

      well as the most absurd and outrageous representations of the present amount of education . If these saintly and profitmongering Journals really cared one farthing about popular liberty , perhaps we might have on this occas on given them some credit for their conduct , but the _shallowest acquaintance with tbem is sufficient to lead to the conclusion that by popular liberty tbey mean their own exclusive power over the consciences and pockets of their dupes . On the other hand , the advocates of the national principle , " nothing loath , " met the Dissenters with statistics , assertions and counter-statements , and tbe wordv warfare has shown at least on both sides

      great industry and not a small amount of earnestness . Of course the presumption was , on both sides , that they were fighting about a reality , and that the discussion would materially influence the nature of the measure it was assumed Lord John was at work npon ? It now seems that they were altogether mistaken . The Herald asserts with the utmost confidence that " there is no intention whatever , on the part , of the Government , of proposing any scheme of National Education . " If this be true , on what grounds do the Whigs mean to base the retention of ofiice , what conceivable reason will there he left for tolerating them even for a single night on the Treasury bench ?

      The deputation appointed at the metropolitan meetings for opening the ports gave the Premier an opportunity of showing both obstinacy and rudeness . After the presentation of the memorials last Saturday , his Lordship explained that it was not " a necessity" that would induce him to open the ports , as he had been understood to say on a former occasion , bnt " an extraordinary necessity . " One of the deputation naturally asked , what Lord John ' s conception of an extraordinary necessity might be ?

      at the sa e time quoting a few of those instances of appalling destitution and suffering which are unhappily so abundant . The haughty and ill-mannered Whig deigned no further reply to this request and statement than to jump up from his seat with a cold , " I have no further explanation to give , " and leave the astonished deputation to make the best of their way to the door ! Civility is cheap to everybody . In a Minister it is a duty , and the bad taste , not to say want of tact , which could commit such a breach of conventioi al propriety needs no

      comment . The staple manufactures of the country continue in an exceedingly depressed condition . The grand effects that were predicted to flow from Free Trade and an extension of commerce are yet to come . We are realizing the truth of the proverb , " that though one man may lead a horse to the water twenty can ' t make him drink . " We forced the Chinese to open six ports for trading with us , and sect over cargoes of our cotton goods to them , but we conld not force them to buy . They are now , we believe , lying rotting in the warehouses . This is a fair explannation of the nature of that trade , to which the Free Traders were wont to attach so much

      importance . The manufacturers of Yorkshire and Lancashire are how , if we are rightly informed ) beginning to find this out , and their only hope of recovery from their present depression rests on the spring trade of that" home market" which has been so much overlooked and by some so systematically decried .

      The Swords So Recently Fleshed On The Ba...

      The swords so recently fleshed on the banks of the Sutlej , are not likely to grow rusty ; a war in Cashmere promises to find employment for our troops for some months to come . In March last , when the affairs of Punjaub were being " settled , " Sir Heniy Hardinge thought proper to hand oyer a large portion ofthe dismembered Sikh territory to a- treach erous ruffian , named _Gholab Sing , who was forthwith installed " M ahaijah . " Amongst the districts made over to this _Gholab _wts the far-famed Vale of Cashmere ; the inhabitants , however , did not relish the rule of thi 9 _Brhish-mauufacturcd " prince , " refused to acknowledge him , and now , are engaged in resisting his authority by force of arms . The Sheik of Cashmere , ( to whom the people are much

      attacked , ) though the son of a Sikh , has assumed the Mahomedan designation of Erairrool-Moomemin , has declared himself _independent , and has twice defeated the troops despatched by Gholab to bring him to order . The Mahomedan tribes ofthe neighbourhood are marching to the aid ofthe Cashmerians , and it is said that the _Aff-hans , with Akhbar Khan at their head , are on their way to swell the torrent against Gholab , and

      to measure _sv-ords once again with the British ; for the British are indeed engaged in this disgraceful war , prosecuted for the purpose of imposing upon the people of Cashmere a sovereign they detest . This way be productive of dishonour—and perhaps defeat to our soldiers , but itcau be productive of no good . A Woody revolution in Napaul is very likely to afford a pretext for further interference , and propablymore "" annexations . "

      The French journals have been mainly occupied with the latest outrage against Poland , the seizure of Cracow . The pretended _indignation of the Journal des Debits aud ihe other dynastic journals is mere fud .. c , intended to throw dust in the eyes ofthe French people ; the articks in the Reforms , National , and Democratic _Paoiftque , are of a Tory different * tam . they justly and loudly iuveigh against the new _spoliation . We shall return to this subject . There is no decisive news from Porlugal . At the time of writing this we have two contradictory repor ts before us _. one representing that Sa da lianueira had been defeated bv the Queen ' s general at Chaves ; and ill- other representing that it was Cazal who was defeated , and that Sa da Bandeira had been

      victorious . P . S . —On Wednesday afternoon , and evening Boulogne was the scene of a riot occasioned by the shipment of potatoes and oxen for England . Ihe people cbauntcd the "' _Mun-cillaiso , " smd vigorously pelted the police , mayo" , sub-prefect , and others oflhc authorities with stones . Several have bean arrested . Hundreds are starving . The Refonne says the fortifications ot Paris are about to be _arnisd . Estch _> iati _' . ural Guard has received orders to keep his musket in his own house , instead of leaving it in _char-ie of the drummers , lest such a collection of arum should be seized upon by disturbers of the public . peace .

      The Swords So Recently Fleshed On The Ba...

      YVe beg to draw _a'teution to the following hearttouching letter from the wife of one of the Newport victims ; comment would but weaken the appeal .

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Esq . Mareb 5 , 1846 . Sir , —My distressed situation , can alone plead for my thus intruding myself up ? n your notice , I being the widow uf the late unfortunate William Jones , who was transported with Frost and Williams , as being leaders in the late riots at Monmouth . Under no other _circumstances than the present , would I have _bein persuaded to address you , but I can assure you , I am suffering the most extreme want : being deprived of him to whom I looked for support , I am entirely now depending upon my own exertions , needle work , and my health failing _. me , I am frequently unable to earn enough to provide b . cad . I have no one to look

      to fur even a loaf , having left my friends for some time ( uot being able to bear their reproachei _*) , and now , as a last resource , I throw myself upon your kind consideration , to know if something cannot be done for me . Much has been done for the widow of Frost , and as I have thus . long endeavoured to do without seeking relief , I trust my appeal may not be in vain . I do not ask it for luxury , but common _supp-. rt , which my health is sinking fast tor want of , and Hit ? trials I have to encounter none can imagine but myself , but this I do know , that unless something is done for me , I cannot long survive my difficulties . May these few lines claim your consideration , and be the means of obtaining relief to Your distressed , and humble servant , Eliza Jokes .

      The Spitalfiei.Ds Weavers And The United...

      THE SPITALFIEI . DS WEAVERS AND THE UNITED TRADES . An adjourned meeting ot the General Committed of this oody was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , Bethnal Green , on Saturday evening , for the purpose of discussing the principles and objects ef tlio National United Trades' Association , and how ( ar _iijuiicti'in with it would benefit the silk trade . Mr . Sully attended from the United Trades , and explained the objects and niaehiheiy of that body . Mr . Cutter ( another member of the deputation ) said that it _afipenred to be everywhere the general feeling of the working classes that the possession of the land was the only reform which could be of any real value to them , and to have recourse to it again was the only thine that could renovate their

      comlidion . ( Hear , hear . ) For tbat fact they were much indebted to the iudefatigable _. _laboui's of Mr . O'Connor —all honour tohim for these exertions . ( Cheers . ) But because _ci-mmerce and manufactures had hitherto been against the working classes by reducing wage * and shortening life , it was not necessary for them to abanden commerce . The question rather was , whether tlie working classes could not also take ad-Vantage of commerce ; whether the producers could nut become their own capitalists , their own employers , their own distributors ? Now , this question had been settled by the Association he advocated . They h . td established trades for the employment of their own members . Mr . Cutter proceeded to show

      tne progress the Association had made in _employing its members and the success hitherto experienced . Mr . M us , one of the Spitalfield ' s body , advocated un . ver . * al suffrage as the means best adapted ' to enable the workers to protect themselves . With reference to the plan proposed , he objected to it , because the men they employed could never get good wages , inasmuch as the goods they made would have to be sold to their own class . The general market would be closed againet their productions . Besides this , foreign competition would be continually reducing prices , and therefore the Association could meet the reductions arising from that source . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Haguit ( another member of the deputation , ) showed that one object of the _Association was to _avst as a mediating body in cases of dispute , as well as a point from which the united aid of the whole trades could be sent to aid any individual body who were struggling against _oppresaiun . In the Northern Star of that day they would ( ind a powerfully written article which showed the value of such an organiza tion much better than he could pretend to do , and he referred the meeting to it in order that they might fully appreciate its advantages . After some observations from _Messr-i . Berry ,. Slater , and others , it was resolved , on the motion of Mr . J . J . Ferdinando , that the discussion be adjourned till next Saturday ( this ) evening . Un Wednesday night , at nine o ' clock , a special meeting of the " United Trades Association of _Spitalh ' eids for the employment of surplus labour in manufactures and _agriculture , " which is a branch Association of United Trades for the Protection ul

      . Native luuustry , " was held at the White Horse , ilaie Street , Brick Lane , for the purpose ot carrying out the objects of thc Association , and of receiving a report from thc deputation which ou Saturday last attended at the meeting of the Broad Silk ilaml-Looiu Weavers' Union , io _obtuin their co-operation . Mr . Mackenzie in the chair . Mr . Sully reported the proceedings of the meeting noticed above . Some other members of tiie Association having addressed the chair , the report was received and adopted . Some i . ew _uit-mbci's were made , when the meeting separated .

      Mvitemou' Cash.—Under This Title Our Con...

      _MviTEmou' Cash . —Under this title our contemporary the Caledonian Mercury reports a melancholy case of a child being found drowned at Dairy , with its legs tied together , and a bauda . e over the arms , that a woman was also found crying bittery ( the mother of the infant ) , who spoke incoherently as t » the loss of ker child , and said she had left her houseon account of a domestic quarrel . We have made particular inquiry , and can vouch forthe following facts : —The unfortunate woman lost a son some years ago , to whom she was devotedly attached , and ever sinco alio has been occasionally subject to hysterical fits and slight aberration of mind . Oa the evening in question her husband complained of her staying too long out , leaving her other children alone . This was about seven o ' clock ; she then went as her

      husband thought to her sister ' s house , but w' . ich turned out to be untrue . A search was made for her , it was ascertained that between eight and nine o'clock she had called for her brother , _ashop-bop in Hanover Street , when she was crying , and asked for a shilling to procure lodginys for the night ; she was not a _^ ain seen till found by the police , and the child was afterwards got in the water , but not with its feet tied .. - — the operation of tying 'the feet the arms , & c , was performed at the police office , for the purpose of straightening the dead body . From our information we are inclined to think that the woman iiad no intention either to drown the child or herself , but she had tumbled into the water and that in her attempts to save the child , she got her self o wet and dreadfully brubed . — Edinktrgh Weekly Chronicle .

      Explosion of Fire-damp . xear _Pr-ssio ** . _—Eioni Lives Lost . —A most dreadful explosion of fire-damp , accompanied with serious Joss of life , happened at the coal mine of Mr . John _Hargrcaves , jun _., at Euxton Burgh , on Tuesday morning about five o ' clock in the morning the men were as usual going to their work in the mine , the " fireman" having first gone down into the pit . In a tew minutes after ; he men entered the mine an explosion took place , when , melancholy to relate , eight of the work-people lost their lives . Some people attach blame to the fireman , who , it is said , has not a proper knowledge of hia duties ; whilst he , on his part , slates that the men entered the works before he certified that the pit was fit for tliero to enter . The explosion took place the moment the workmen entered the pit . There were from 30 or 40 other miners in the pit at the time in other directions , who were considerably alarmed at the shock of the explosion , and who could not venture for some time into the neighbourhood o _> the mine were thc bodies were lying .

      Peach _Socibtv . —Elihu Burritt , the celebrated American writer and philanthropist , delivered a lecture in the Ilall of Commerce , in favour of the _principles of tieace , on Tuesday evening . The place was crammed , and many thousands , among whom were some Members of i ' ariinmciit , went away because they were unable to gain admission . The lecturer discussed the subject in all its more important bearings , and with a fervid eloquence expatiated eu the horrors of war , and the blessings of peace . Thk Dis _» ui 8 _isd Thieves . —Atthe Central Criminal Court , on Thursday , William Anderson and John Sullivan , were jointly indicted for stealing a gold pin , value 4 *" . Cd . the property of Mr . Joseph Partv , from hi * , person . Mr . Parry , builder , in Clare-market , stated that on Sunday week he mot the

      prisoners , who were dressed in female apparel . They asked him to give them money , to go with them to a grog shop , which , however , he declined . The prisoners used no indecent remarks . From their dress and address he thought they were young women . As soon as they _crossed to Shire-lane he missed the _bi'e-ist pin and told the policeman so . The prisoners were pursued and aprehended , the pin was found next day on thc spot they were taken at . Mr . Locke ealled tlie inspector , who deposed that the prisoners gave their names as Emma Anderson ami Jane Wilson . He also stated the alarm of the station-searcher on discovering the sex of the two . prisoners . Another officer , who assisted at the capture , stilted the prisoner Sullivan was very pugnaciou _* . Ho was heard to say , "Though a woman , I'm as

William Webster , a p _.-lice co _.-stablo of the Metropolitan force , was called . lie stated that he had known Anderson three years as a suspected person of more offences than one . Knew of no former conviction . Thc Recorder told tho prisoners that tiiey knew best whether they had disguised themselves for other purposes than theft , bat it was quite clear on this occasion that they had associated together tor the purpose of theft , and had effected their purpose , and under such disgraceful eircumstaucos , that the court felt itseif justified in inflicting the highest _puni- < hnieiit the law allowed , viz ., that they be transported beyond thc seas for fifteen years .

      The Charter : Amd No Surrender! Messrs. ...

      THE CHARTER : AMD NO SURRENDER ! MESSRS . M'GRATH AND CLARK'S TOUR . ASHTON-UNDER-LTNE . Co _operativk Lano Company . — A public meeting was held in the chapei , at Charlestown , onJWednesday evening , to hear the present position and prospects of the Chartist Land Company explained . Messrs . M'Grath and Clark , two ofthe directors ofthe Company , wen- presentfor that purpose . __ Mi _' _. JticHABD Pilling , having been chosen to preside , commenced the business by making a few preparatory observations , soliciting the attention of tlie audience to what would be advanced by the speakers , and stating that as their object was truth , every opportunity would be afforded to any party that might feel disposed to differ from either of the gentlemen that were about to address the meeting . lie had much pleasure in introducing their old friend ,

      Mr . Thomas Clark , who , on _presenting himself , was warmly received . lie entered upon a review of the _agitati-. ns that hud engrossed- the attention of the working classes for the five and twenty years , and congratulated the meeting upon the improved tone of public opinion , which , he argued , was in a great measure , the result of the agitations to which he had made reference . He proceeded to elucidate the nature and objects ofthe _Chatttist Co-operative Land Company , and concluded an interesting address by an able exposition of the principles and value of

      co-operation . Mr . Philip _M'Ghath spoke next , and was loudly cheered on riseing to address the meeting . He entered into an elaborate and eloquent defence of the rights of labour , and exposed in a masterly style , tlie systems of fraud that are resorted to , to filch from the labourer the fruits of his own industry . Mr . _M'Grath ' s address was listened to throughout with the most marked attention , and apparently gave the highest satisfaction . Thanks were voted to Messrs . Clark , M'Grath , and the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .

      BURY . Tlie Bury branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , anxious to give their fellow-townsmen an opportunity of judging of the principles and objects of the institution , resolved upon holding a public meeting for that purpose . Application being made to the proper authorities , the Town Hall was obtained for the meeting , which was convened for Thursday evening . At the time announced for taking the chair , the hall was filled with a ru < st attentive audieHce . Mr . Ireland was elected to preside . He briefly but forcibly stated the object of the meeting , and then introduced Mr . Clark , who de ? livered an able and eloquent address , in which he vividly pourtrayed the wrongs inflicted upon the industrial community by those who would be considered their friends and protectors . Mr . Clark having described the benefits of the company , very clearly explained the principle of operation by wbich thev were proposed to be secured .

      Mr . M'Grath very effectively supported the views of his colleague . Some questions were put and satisfactorily answered . The usual rotes having been passed , the meeting separated .

      HEYWOOD . A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held on Friday evening , in the Chartist Hall , to adopt the National Petition to Parliament in favour of thc Charter . The resolutions submitted were ably spoken to by Messrs . Clark and M'Grath of the Executive , and unanimously adopted by the meeting . Thanks having been voted to the Chairman , and to Messrs M'Grath and Clark , the meeting dissolved .

      OLDHAM . Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather , the large school-room attached to the Hall was thronge J on Sunday evening Inst , at the usual hour for _commencing business . The Chairman opened the proceedings of the night by reading from the Northern Star , Mr . Fielden ' s speeoh nnthe Ten Hours Bill . He then called upon Mr . M'Grath to address the meeting on the _subjects of the Charter and the Land . Mr . M'Gkath * said that while he considered the subjrets of the Charter and the Land paramount to all others in point of importance , he thought that they should not wholly absorb attention from other measures which the best interests of myriads

      imperatively demand , fhe subject of the ten Hours Bill has been introduced by the Chairman , he was therefore anxious to make a few remarks on that _important topic . Humanity and sound policy called aloud ¦ _> n the Legislature for the legal embodiment of the Ten Upura Bill . Was it not a damning blot , ft burning shame , that in a country that so loudly vaunts the purity of its Christianity , the boundlessness of its philanthropy , and the extent of its civilisation _, that women and children , the wives and offspring of men said to be free , should work more hours each day than the American slave , or than the { horses or : < _sse ** of their wealthy grasping masters * Man ' s inventive irenius had within the last half century achieved triumph , at the contemplation of which

      rea * on stands aghast , but grasping avarice denies laliour all participation in their benefits . The Ten Hours Sill asserts the principle that an abridgement of the number of hours of factory labour is a blessine which the introduction of labour-saving machinery should confer upon the operative . The ten deiicy _, however , of the existim ; social and political arrangements is to render every achievement of mechanical skill a minister at the shrine of mammon , a cur . se to those whose bread depends upon the sweat of their brows . It was sometimes alleged that a Ten Hours' Bill would reduce wages . He thought the contrary . Its operation would employ the surplus labour which now enables the capitalists to reduce wages , for where now a hundred hands gets employment if the Ten Hours Bill were law , one hundred and twenty would be in work , hence we may fairly conclude that if the additional demand made upon

      thr labour market did not increase wages it would at least keep them up to their present elevation . Mr . M'Grath combated the doctrine of non-interference so strongly contended for by the political ecnnomiHts . _Regulation was tbe great characteristic of Nature , mid as the laws of Nature are the surest basis for human law , regulation should not be repudiated in regard to labour . Thc Short Time party have a splendid opportunity . The most prominent members of the ministry are advocates of the Ten Hours Bill . Let , therefore , the friends of justice ; press the Government with vigour , and should Whiggery refuse its official support , it will make another addition to that catalogue of infamies which render it excrable in the minds of all honest men . Mr . M'Grath then ably descanted upon the Charter and the land , and concluded with a strong appeal to the audience to join the glorious Land Company . Several members were enrolled in thp Company .

      Votes of thanks having been passed to the Chair man and Lecturer , the meeting separated .

      BIRKENHEAD The Land , tiir Laboor Rkdebmisg Land . —The branch of the Land Company established here , resolved to _uiTe the working classes an opportunity of _hcarinc the principles and objects of the Company expounded , while Messrs . Clsirk and _„ M'Grath were in the north . Accordingly the elegant and spacious _Cr-ven Rooms were engaged , and the meeting _sm-Hounced by placard to take place on Tuesday evening . By half-past seven , the time named for taking tho chair , the hall was crowded in every part .

      Mr . Forester , an enthuiiastic young democrat , was elected to the chair . Having made a few observations on the purpose ofthe meeting , he introduced in succession Messrs . Clark and M'Grath , who placed the Chartist Land Company before the judgment of the audience in a light so clear , that a large addition to its members may be safely i redicted . Discussion was invited , but opposition was silent . Many rules were taken ; there was not enough of them to supply the demand . During the evening scores were obliged to depart unable to obtain ingress . Three soul exhibiting cheers having been given lor the Land , tlm- Charter , and O ' Connor , the meeting dispersed , evidently delighted with the evening's proceedings .

      MANCHESTER . Glorious Mkbtiso . —On Sunday evening last , that maunificent building the People ' s Institute , waia crowded in every part to hear a _lecture from Mr . Thomas Clark of the Executive Committee , on the subject of " The Land , and its value to tha Working Classes . " Mr . Sutton filled the chair , and __ discharged the duties of his office in a most becoming and respectful manner . Indeed , the cause of Chartism in Manchester owed much of its present proud and commanding position to his perseverance and patriotism . Mr . Nuttal , junior , read the ' ¦ Weekly Review " from the Northern Star , after whioh the Chairman

      made a few observations upon the present aspect of Chartism ; in the course of which lie stated that it wouid no doubt be gratifying to the feelings of Mr . Clark , te learn that never did Chartism stand so high in the borough as at that moment . ( Loud cheers . ) He . said it without any intention to exaggerate or boast , but the present prospect of both the Land and Charter movement was really encouraging . ( Cheers . ) Look nt the present crowded meeting for example , which coupled with the state of tho finances was cheering to his soul , and gave him confidence of ultimate success , lie would not detain them by any further remaiks , but at once introduce their old friend Mr . T . Clark .

      Mr . Clam * , on pvesenting himself , was loudly cheered , He commenced by _^ tating the pleasurable sensations which he experienced in witnessing such a gorgeous spectable as he was at that moment gazing upou , a mighty mass of humanity and intellect-seeking to disentangle themselves from the meshes sf slavery and degredation , _bucIi a sight was invigorating to the soul , and captivating to the senses and feelings of the _pliilanthrophist and patriot . He was deligbtod to hear from the chairman , that thc Chartists of the important town of Manchester , had , by tlieir energy and devotion , succeeded in placing tlieir just and sublime principles ¦

      The Charter : Amd No Surrender! Messrs. ...

      on so high a _pinaele and , no doubt , the towns of thr neighbourhood would be shortly led to imitate thei noble example . ( Cheers . ) He was proud to bo able to state that Manchester was not the only town in the Empire where Chartist principles was becoming popular , as , from the reception which Mr . M'Grath and himself had met with in the various towns through which they had passed on'their route from mi !" ' lie felt _---m _* e _* f warranted in asserting , that Manchester had many noble competitors in the race for freedom . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark tben entered upon the subject of the land , nnd adduced novel and

      many startling facts , to prove that tbe land , wtili the vote to protect it , was what the slave class throughout the world required , in order to better their condition , permanently , and concluded an eloquent and convincing address by inviting discussion upon the several points , which he had advanced that evening , or , if any one had anything to use against the conduct of himself , or _colleagues in offioe , to take advantage ot the opportunity which then presented itself and do so . Mr . Clark , on retiring , was loudly applauded . No one appearing to answer the invitation given by Mr . Clark , thanks were voted tohim and the chairman , and thus terminated the business of the meeting . * -

      Renewed Agitation For The Charter In Sco...

      RENEWED AGITATION FOR THE CHARTER IN SCOTLAND . MR . DOYLE'S MISSION . Linlithgow . —A month afterdate we have received a short account of a lecture at this place by Mr . D : > _, vle . Our Linlithgow friends should make their express's travel a little fa-ter .

      DUNDEE . Mr . Christopher Doyle , of the Executive Council of the National Charter Association , lectured in the Thistle Hall , on the evening of Monday , the 16 th , on the National Petition . He entered upon the subject at great _leneth , after which the petition wag read by Mr . John M ! Crea , who moved its adoption , which was seconded by James Graham , and carried unanimously . A good . lumber affixed their signatures to it at the close of the meeting , and we have no doubt but that it will be numerously signed .

      On Tuesday Evening , the annual soiree of the Christian Chartist Church was held in the same place , Mr . M'Crea in thc chair . Mr . Doyle was the _distinguished guest of the evening . , We also observed upon the platform Messrs . Dowtie , Scott , Anadal , and Smart , all of them tried and unflinching labourers in tho field of democracy . The Hall was tastefully decorated , and the vocal and instrumental music was excellent . The good things of the evening having been disposed ot , —the Chairman , after a brief and happy address , went to the _business

      of the evening by giving the following sentiment , ' The People , their rights and no less , and may it ever be the object of the Chartist Christian Church ot Dundee , individually and collectively , to struggle for the freedom and happiness of the human race , and may they never slack their efforts till they see their country in possession of their respective rights . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . M'Crea spoke to this sentiment at _considerabla length , aud in iiis usual eloquent and forcible style .

      The next sentiment was " The Charter , with all its _advocater both in and out of Parliament ; all who suffered fiom its advocacy , either by imprisonment , exile , or _I'eath , and who have remained _stedfast _, immoveable , and faithful in the good cause , and may that precious document _auon become the law of the land . " Mr . Doyle responded in a speech of considerable length ; his speech was hailed with great applause . The next sentiment was " the Fraternal Union cf the Democrats of all nations ; may Poland _seon enjoy her national liberty , Circassia triumph over Russia , America , Italy , and the sons of toil over all the earth , claiming a right to the soil which gave them birth ; may democracy flourish , and despotism be abolished , all over the world ; and may the time soon come when nation shall shake hands with nation , congratulating each other on the full emancipation of the human race . "

      Mr . Doyle also responded to this sentiment in a fervid and masterly style , in the course of which he directed attention to the exertions ot the society of Fraternal Democrats , their objects , exertion ** , and success . He also paid a merited compliment to Mr . Julian Harney , whom he characterised as one of the most untiring friends of freedom that could be found either in this or in any other country , he said truly , that it was an honour to belong to a cause which ranked such a man among its advocates . Mr . Harney is an old friend ol " ours , and from his positiim as secretary of the Fraternal Democrats , a great many of us can now claim kindred to liini . After the sentiments we had abundance of songs ; the following is from the pen of our worthy and esteemed friend , Mr . - John M'Crea . and was sung by him , the whole assembly joining In chorus :

      A NEW SONG . AhWSaewillweyet . " Arouse ye _mail ' s of Scotia , ye sons of Caledon , For starvation ' s in your border , and the Whigs art round the throne ; O , where is now the big loaf frae the League ye were to get _. We _thought they were _deceiTing you , and sae do we jet . Chorus—And sae do we yet . They said we'll raise your wages , and they got you for to squeal , For Cobden , Bright , and Free Trade , and hurrah for Bobby Peel ; Now they break your wage aud raise your bread , till food ye canna get ,

      And ( hey fatten while they ' re starving you , and sae will they yet . Na « sooner Peel his lawn had _pass'd _, till , in an evil hour , The League and Dan did _raisu the Whigs again to place . and power ; Ye hae gotten a the benefit tbat ever ye will get , For they ' ve been a set of ne ' er-do-weels , and sae are they jet . The Whigs for ten lang years before did wickedly behave ; Tbey fill'd the jails with victims , sent John Bull inaist to his grave }; The treasury box they plundered , and they left us deep in debt , But they paid us with " finality , " and sae will they yet . They give tbe Irish bullets when they ask a crust of

      bread , And when they seek for labour , they give them steel and lead ; Still they are the nicest ministry ould Ireland em did get , For they threw tlieir bones to Daniel ' s dogs , aud sae will they yet . They take our British taxes to improve the Irish soil , To enrich the absent landlords , not to give the peasants toil ; Like the million lent the clergy , a farthing ye'll ne ' er F et _" For the Whigs were aye a cheating crew , and sae aro they yet . Z They swell the standing army , and increase the " royal " tars ;

      In Cape of Good Hope and India they carry on the wars ; And ye will hae to pension thc cruel bloody set , For _that's baeu & ye thu toilers' share ,. aud sae will it yet . But away with Wliigsand Tories , and George Bentinck and his pack , And that load of many millions let us noo throw off our back ; Nae mair we'll trust the _corn-craiks , ner yet the Bedford pet , For we ken how tmir they ' ve plundered us , and say will they yet . Come let us join the Charter with Duncombe and his band ;

      Let ul raise the flag of liberty in this and every land ; Then a cottage and twa acres some day we'l maybe get , For in the soil we claim a share , and sae shall we yet . Success to our Executive—O'Connor , Clarke and Doyle , likewise M'Grath and Wheelor . and tho noble sons of toil ; For the doings of the Wliigs in power we never can forget , But we drave them ance _fromjilace and pay , and sae wiU we yet . Our Annual Anniversary , with cauld November ' s blast , Should warn U 3 ofthe future , and remind us of the past But we'll neither live nor die their slaves , for any tyrantset , For we ' ve straggled aye in _freedotu ' s cause , and sae will we yet .

      Mr . _George Young gave "Frosts Farewell , " alao , " Come , Liberty , Come . " Mr . Palmer gave " A Man ' s a Man for a' that , " and the " M'Gregor ' _s Gathering . " Mr . Doyle—who car also boast of no small talent in the musical department—gave two of " Moore _' Irish Melodies . " Alter several other friends had favoured us with songs , recitations , die , and three cheers for the Charter , three for Duncombe , three for O'Connor , Doyle , and the other members of the Executive , it being pretty late—or , rather , pretty early—the Chairman dissolved one of the finest assemblies we have seen in Dundee . .

      On Wednesday evening Mr . Doyle again delivered a lecture in thc fame place ; Subject- " The Land . The lecturer dispiaved his usual energy .-and we have no doubt but that the result will soon be visible in an inoraase to the number ot membera in this After the lecture several questions were asked , all of which Mr . Doyle answered to the satisfaction of the audience . _y After some other business had been disposed of , and a vote of thanks given to Mr . Doyle , the meeting broke up .

      . ...... We ara now on tbe tiptoo of expectation for che _viiiit of O'Connor to Glasgow , when , although he has it promised to visit Dundee et lot him onco _cjogf the Tweed , and we have no doubt whatever bat he will also cross tho lay .
