MB * TIN CENT ' S SPEECH AT THE . BIRMINGHAM MEETING . " We -were exceedingly sorry that arcnmstanceSj connected -with the hurry and fatigue of writing oat , fowi the notes of a single reporter , so long a report ¦ of the Birmingham meeting , as we gave last week ., -obliged as materially to condense the exce ll ent speech " of Mr . Yikcent . "We nave seldom heard -3 speech with more real pleasnre ; and therefore , -that it may Tie . rightly estimated by the puttie , we : grre it this week at length . This causes something like repetition in those parts which were siren last
¦ week ; hnt they will bear reading again and again . - * -Mr . " Heshy Vikcest , from London ^ presented himself , and was receivftd with great cheering He-said , he could assure the Radicals of Bir-• wmtgtmm j and the fm * n of the midland district , thafctm no one occasion during the short period of bis _ - £ olitieal life , had he felt ie > much gratifica tion « s-ie did opon that day , . in teeing before Ww so-many thousands of intelligent beings , who ¦ were assembled for the purpose of declaring to the Aristocracy of this country , that they should so longer , possess the ill-gotten and long ill-used power which they n » d exeidsed to oppress the people , bHVthat they must at length give it up , and on-dsing so they must recognise and admit
"the nighty--and commanding sorereignty of the people . . ( Lond cheers . ) They had met that day is promote-in the beet possible manner the great Irappatess of the great mass of the people , sot to support a -brick and mortar franchise —{ Txear , neaty-h-not-to support Lord John , or to pulldown the xhike of WeUington —( hear , hear , hear , )—not for the purpose of talking about tithes—or of justice to .. Ireland—which cry generally meant injustice to the interest of the working classes of England—but to declare , with the voice of freemen , that England was yet to De ' a Democratic country . ( Lond cheering . ) It had often been said that we live under a constitution that w ^ s at once the envy of surrounding nations , and admiration of
the world . ( A laugh . ) The Aristocracy of the country "had its privileges and Its rights secured and preserved to it . II , then , the Aristocracy had its privileges , and the Crown the rights that belonged to it , why were not the people , who were above the Aristocracy —( cheers)—and the souice from whence even the power of the Crown itself emanated —( cheers ^—why , he asked , were not they to have their privileges recognized , by being properly represented in the House of Common- ? : ( Loud cries of hear , hear . ) Aye , but itwas said -thatthey , the people , were impracticable men —( a laugh)—that they were , forsooth , not intelligent persons . ( Laughter . ) Now what sort of intelligent persons were those who represented them ? He
need only apply to their excellent Chairman ( Mr . Atrwood ) in reference to the intelligence of these representatives ; he believed ne wonld bear him ( Mr . Vincent ) out , in saying that they- were anything but an intelligent set of ^ ersons . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheering ;) Indeed , if they were to take the representatrres of the people of Eajrland as a specimen of the intelligence of the constituent body , why , then , frnly , the intellect of that body was at an exceedingly low ebb . ( Laughter and cheers . ) He would just jriv « them a specimen of one o £ these intelEgent members of Parliament . He ( Mr . Vincent ) went with some friends to several members of Parliament to request their support of the bill that had been drawn up—ie meant the Poor Man ' s Charter
—that had been agreed to in reference-to ^ Universal "Suffrage , the "Vote by Ballot ; and amongst others they waited upon Mr . Potter , the Whig member for Wigan . They found him dressed in certainly a very elegant morning gown —( a laugh)—and seated in a comfortable easy chair . ( Laughter . ) Near to him was also seated an intelligent secretary —( a laugh)—who had an exceedingly intelligent eye-glass—( laughter ) which he held to M > eye , and with great ease ani nonchalance surveyed the deputation that waited on the hon . member . - ( Immense lausrhter . ) The deputation asked Air . Potter to support the bill . The hon . gentleman said , ' I refer you to my secretary . ' ( A laugh . ) Thereupon theintelligent secretary toot up his eve-glass —( great laughter)—and
after examining the heads , tnrned to MrrPotter , and said , ' Oh , sir , you don't go for Universal Suffrage . ' •( A laugh . ) 4 Oh , gentlemen , ' said Mr . Potter , * my secretary says I don ' t go for Universal Suffrage / < Roars of laughter . ) -Again the secretary cast his eye-glass at the document , and sseing the word ballot' in it , smirkingly observed , 'Oh , sir , you go for the Ballot . ' ( Loud laughter . ) ; Oh , ' responded Mr . Potter , my ' secretary says I go for the Ballot , and I think you gentlemen ought to go for the Ballot also . ' ( Loud laughter . ) But , continued Mr . Vincent , we told this gentleman we would not go for thisquestion -alone , nor would we go for any particular party measure ; a * we Wliev&i tkatxHLUcs the great qnostion of Universal Suffrage were conceded to the people , their
real interests could not be advanced . " ( Loud cheering . ) But it was not the object of the Whigs to do anything likely to improve the state of the people . ( Cheers . ) As it suited them , they played off one party against another . When they thought they were supported by the people of the-country , they proceeded to put " down the perple of Ireland , ana they accordingly proceeded to pass a coercion bill for that country ; but when they lost the affections of the Radicals of England , they then tnrned their attention to . Ireland ; and then , for the first time , ~ Justice to Ireland , ' was the cry of snch men as Lord John Russe ll , who ha ( Mr . Vincent ) declared to be the most dishonest knavish politician he had ^ ver "known . Look at his conduct in respect to
tie -appropriation clause in the Irish Tithe bill . ( Hear , near . ) Upon this clause he pledged the faith -and honour , not only of himself , but of his whole ¦ Darty . ( Hear , hear . ) Nay , so essential did that ^ obleiord consider this clause to the tithe "bill , that he succeeded in turning ont Sir Robert . Peel ' s Go-Temment , because it refused to pledge itself to introduce snch a clauseinto a bill having reference to tithes . ( HeaT , hear . ) Now , however , the Whigs brought forward a tithe bill which was wholly digested of an appropriation clause , and yet these gentlemen denied t&at they had done anything calculated to compromise their honour , or their honeny . { Hear . ) They merely consented that the clause be left out of the bill—that was all—there was no
change of opinion in such a proceeding . ' { Hear , hear , ^ nd laughter . ] He contended that such conduct made the continuance of the Whigs in powers matter of great danger to liberty—much more so than if the Tories were in power . [ Hear . ] Oh , if the Tories were in office now , would not that great and important meeting be attended by . some Lord Noodle or . Lord Doodle , or their creatures —[ hear ] —men who were now doing the dirty work of the Whigs . { Cheers . ] And would not the men of Birmingham be praised to the skies for the noble spirit and the bright example which they set the people of England ? The fact was , the Whigs were endeavouring to throw back public opinion , but the people were , rising up in their might , and their voice
would be raised to such a pitch , - that their opponents would-be swept from the face of the earth . [ Loud cheering . ] The opponents of Universal Suffrage say that by conceding such a measure , a very improper power would be given into the hands of -unintelligentpersons ; this he denied ; he contended that many lodgers in towns were-frequently better informed than the house-keepers who lived in and occupied the lower portion t > f the house . [ Hear , hear . ] To grant Universal Suffrage , -would be to enfranchise-intelligence , whereas the present franchLse was given to bricks and mortar . [ Hear , hear . ] It was a base principle that conferred-upon money alone the . light to rule . ( Hear , hear . ) If a man could only make his £ 300 a-year by keeping a
gambling hell , or by even a less reputable plan—if he were the basest of mankind—provided he had money provided he got his brains in his pockets —( a laugh ) —he was a person sufficiently deserving of ruling over the community . ( Hear . ) And the persons who recognise such a principle as this are those who hesitate to grant Universal Suffrage to the people . ( Hear , hear . ) But loot at -the inconsistency of these people . They say that all men are equal in the sight of God , and if snehwexe the case , why , he asked , should not all men . hare-equal rights ? ( Hear . ) The object of the-people ' -s charter is simply to-embody the sentiments of the . people into an act ofTarliament . ( Hear . ) On this they were about to make a movement in London—which , he was to
sorry say , -was the very gink of corruption . But taej might believe him , when he assured ihem that there were men in London who had sufficient power ^ m ake the working classes of that place , rally T ^ iS * ^ ft ? that ** & ¦ & the assembled SSwSv ^ 0011 ^^ * ****« Aat day .

Herald , told the people SSjog in the cry for Universal Suffrage ; and for what reason did they think ? Why , that the Bible told them ¦ o be content with their station —( laughter and cries of hear , hear . )—and that they ought to * be meek and lowly to their superiors . ( Hear , hear . ) But tfc # » r »
was a question as to who were the people ' s superiors . < Hear . J Was it the ignorant and besotted aristocracy of this country ? Was it the ignorant and besotted clergy of tie Established Chnr 3 i ?—men whose reKfwn consisted in . the tithes which , they extracted from the pockets of the people . ( Hear , iear . ) No , surely these were not those who were the superiors of the people . He . knew of no man who was the superior or the people , for he was one of those who did not befieve that one man -was born to be a lord , . and another tobea alare .

desirable that men should assemble in large masses to demand their rights , and if-necessary , to enforce them . Their cause was , he was proud to say , triumphant . ( Cheers . ) How could it be otherwise ? The wqmen of England were with them . ( Loud cheering . ) Was it not important to have ihe women with them ? ( Hear , hear . ) And was it not important to the women themselves , that the men should succeed in the object they had . in view ; for under a despotism , woman became debased and degraded , while under a system of freedom she was treated as she deserved to be—as an intelligent being , fit to give instruction and a proger direction to tie youthfol mind , —of those who might one day or other be called forward in » defence of the rights and p rivileges of their country . ( Loud cheering . ) To the men and women of Birmingham then , he would say , the cause is yoursj and oh ! how the old men , who gloried
in the cause that was hallowed by the name of Cartwright —( cheers ^—how they must feel delighted , when they perceived theevery-day increasing enthusiasm which was exhibited in favour of the great principle of Universal Suffrage .

( Cheers . ) That where principle would break through , an army , of sabrei would fail . ( Hear , hear . ) The great meeting of this day was a proof of the advancement of knowledge . It was not the eSect of excitement , bat the slow growth of increasing intelligence —( hear , hear)—it declared that the Government of the country was behind in the march of intellect that was abroad , and it wai urging it forward . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Vincent concluded amidst loud cheers .

"
On considering the Dumfries Plurality Bill , the Lords' amendments , as far as clause A , were agreed to . The Canada Government Indemnity Bill was read a first and second time , and was ordered to be committed to a committee of the whole House
tomorrow . The House adjourned at half-past six . Tuesday , August 14 . The Lords amendments on the Ecclesiastical Appointment Suspension Bill were agreed to . Nearl y the whole of the night was occupied with a dienssion -upon the Canada Indemnity Bill . Lord JOHN RUSSELL began the debate by avowing the intention of Government to acquiesce in theBill sent down from the Lords , reciting as it does , the il lega li t y of the ordinance , but indemnifying those who have advised or acted under it , on the score of their presumed good intentions . The Noble Lord contended that the only illegal portion of the ordinance was that which related to the deportation of eight prisoners to the Bermudas . The more
startling passage , which denounced the penalties of high treason against each of fifteen Canadians in the event of their returning to their country , was not in his opinion , unlawful ; and he argued , from expressions used , and from expressions forborne , at the time of the Canada Coercion Bill , passed in the beginning of the session , that Parliament , in investing the Governor-General with extraordinary powers , had intended to enable Mm , and had enabled him in fact , to do all which by this ordinance he had assumed to do . Sir John Colborne , who had wielded the powers of this act before the arrival of Lord Durham , had exercised them in this larger sense ; and , therefore , if Lord Durham had been guilty of exceeding the law , so had Sir John
Colborne ; yet nobody had found out any illegality in Sir John Colborne s acts—probabl y because Sir John was not , as Lord Durham was , obnoxious to a political party at home . But as Sir John Colborne was justified , so was Lord Durham : and Ggvemment wished it to be known that they Vould resist insurrection , which , it was to be feared , had received some encouragement from , the course pursued in Parliament upon this subject . At a fuller period of the Session , Ministers would have called on the Legislature to clear up all doubts , and fix a more certain rule ; but at this late season , and with so snail a chance of agreement between the two
Houses , Government would take the responablity upon themselves , trusting that Lord Durham , diffic ? f £ ? painful as his situation was rendered , wonld feel himself bound to continue his services to fiis wintry , unmindful of obloquy and personal aitact . rhis was a different state of things , most certainly , from that which he was entitled to expect . iJk ^ T Z bt ? n fairerif ^ foes , **»» generous forbearance he had bespoken , should hare given w .

men hostile to the insurgents , andi night taye secured verdicts and inflicted-executions ; but , though no lawyer could then have foond fault , his vindication would have been less easy than it now was to the Government . And : if , continued the Noble Lord , the Prorince can be preserved and the punishment of death avoided , no Bophistry or sarcasm , however accompanied" by professions of friendship , intended ( but ineffectually ) to disguise the petty and personal feeling beneath , would prevent a just and genial feeling that * Lord : Durham had deserved well of the colony , of the mother country , and of posterity . / ¦ .. ' ¦ 'Y - LordSTANLEY , while lie disclaimed , for himself and his party , all share in originating this bill , was not prepared to concur in blaming its author , Lord Brougham , for detecting an error and proposing
a remedy , and would not shrink from expressing his own conviction of the illegality of the : ordinance in all its parts . He gave full credit to Lord Durham-s motives , but could not approve his measure . The conduct of Sir J . Colborne presented a favourable contrast , both as to the appointment of big Council , and as to the character of hw ordinances . After a comparison of them with those- of Lord Durham , he animadverted on Lord John Russell ' s extraordinary assumption of credit to Lord Durham for having abstained from tampering with juries , but argued that the ordinance was the less necessary , because jurien won have done their duty ; as ,
indeed , the culpritsmu » t have apprehended , or they would not have pleaded guilty . Lord Stanley concluded by recommending that some measure should be provided by the Government for clearing up the law , and dealing with the personi who would escape by the disallowance of the present ordinance ! , and denied that Parliament would refuse its sanction , if Government made a fitting appeal . Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied , that Government were desirous of taking such a course ; but that when Lord Melbourne proposed to the Lords such words as would have met the case , he had been obliged , by the general opposition , to withdraw them .
Mr . _ LEADER , thought a censure would have been fitter than an indemnity , would not oppose the general wish . He instanced many other acts of the Colonial Government , which in his opinion were objectionable , and denied that the men deported to Bermuda had even pleaded guilQr . They had confessed themselves to have rebelled , bnt it was against the bad Government of the colony , not against the person or Government of her Majesty , and they had no wish for a separation from England . He then inveighed at greath length against the conduct of Mr . C . Bailer , and condemned the line adopted by Ministers with reference to the rights of the people * by whose aid they had risen to office .
Mr . HA WES vindicated Lord Durham ' s policy , and attributed the present proceedings to a desire of wounding the Ministers through his sides . Then came Sir W . FOLLETT , who , with great effect , insisted that , large as Lord Durham ' s powers had been , he had exceeded their scope . He had not been intrusted with power to decide on the guilt of accused men , without jury , witness , or defence ; and on his own finding , to banish , to imprison , to execute . Those powers were greater than Parliament would have entrusted to any man ' s temper or discretion ; and if that had been -understood to be the meaning of the Bill , it never would have passed . The intention had been merely to substitute a temporary legislative power during the suspension of , and in substitution for , the ordinary legislature ; and
if the ordinary legislature would not have had power to pass such an ordinance ( which he argued in detail that they would not , ) then neither could this power belong to the substituted authority . He pressed the Government to introduce an act , before the prorogation , for avoiding the ill effects to which the dis-• illowanceof the orders must lead among the people of Canada ; and while he regretted that the subject should have been stirred at all , yet expressed his hope tLat good might result in the Colonies from the indication that Parliament would not suffer the law to be violated . This speech was answered by the ATTORNEYGENERAL , who , giving up the Bermudean part of the ordinance , insisted on the legality of the remainder , i .
To him Sir E . SUGDEN made answer , contending that the whole of the ordinance was alike illegal . ! Sir C . GREY took a more whimsical view of the snbject : his impression 'jva . s , that the Bermudean part of the ordinance , that part which everybody condemned , was lawful , and that the only unlawful part was that which the Government upheld as clearly lawful . Sir R . INGLIS proposed a special clause for the disposal of the persons denounced in the ordinance .
and was followed by the j SOLICITOR-GENERAL , who cited as a material precedent , the attainders by statute 13 and 14 William III . of the Pretender . Lord JOHN RUSSELJL declined ta adopt Sir R . Inglis ' s clause , and expressed himself satisfied , after reflection , that the sivfest course was to pass the Uill in tbe statoin which It waa . In that opinion he said he was confirmed by the contrariety ofthe legal opinions which had been delivered .
The Bill then went into Committee , and having passed through that stage | without amendments , was reported immediately , and ordered for a third reading on Wednesday . I On the motien of Lord JOHN RUSSELL , two ofthe amendments on the Registration of Electors Bill were disagreed to , and the others agreed to . The amendment of the Lords in the Imprisonment for Debt Bill—namely , that the Bill do come into operation on the 1 st of October , was agreed to , on the motion of the Attorney-General . The House was counted out at a quarter to two o ' clock in the morning .
Wednesday , August 15 . The Canada Indemnity Bill was read a third time and passed , and sent to the Lords without amendment . , On the motion of the ! Attorney-General , it was ordered that th « Lords' amendments on the Registration of Electors Bill , b | e taken into consideration " this day three months . "! The Bill is consequently lost . ¦'¦" ¦ ¦ - ' | ¦ On the motion of Mri GROTE , it was ordered that each of the four factory inspectors do report
separately , at the period of his quarterly general report , on the effects ofthe educational provisions of the Factory Act , as exemplified in not less than twelve of the ^ schools situatedin his district , in which those provisions have been observed in the most efficient manner ; that the four factory inspectors do make a joint report as to any modification of the existing educational provisions of the Factory Act which may appear to them desirable . The House adjourned at a quarter to eight o ' clock .

pretty , widely circulated in ; / Manchester : and- its environs for some days ptevibus to the meefingj and a great demonstration of the feelings of die people , in regard to that memorable occasion wag generally , expected ; In this we were not disappointed ; ; At half-past aix o ' clock a ] great qofacpurse of people was assembled at the " j New Cross" bearing flags and banners and accompanied vrith a band of music .

u £ ** J ! m the - names of the unfortunate persons who had lost their lives on the melancholy occasion , which they were niet to commemorate , and of the menatwhose instigation the bloody deed was performed ^ ( Hear , hear . ) In yonder window , ( pointing to a window opposite , ) sat a number of magistrates , who read the Riot Act , and who afterwards rioted in the blood © f an unoffending and starving people . ! ( Hear , hear . ) That scene had passed awaythey were then subjected to a temporary defeat ; but he hoped they had now sufficient courage never to allow either the sabres of the Yeomanry , or anv other weapons drive them from that field again [ Loud che ^ rs . l _ Mr . Curran here read the names of the victims , which , for want of room we omit , but wiu inem next
give wee * . . These : were the magistratei who ordered the cavalryto ride over and butcher a peaceful people . ( Hear , hear , ) What were their objects ? Simply to obtain the nghte of the nation as involved in the principle of Universal Suffrage , and the repeal of the Corn Laws . It was now nineteen years since that melancholy period ; but still he was glad that the privileges ofthe people were not so far gone that they could not yet meet in that very field , and plainly tell their enemies , that they would not quietly submit to be butchered again . ( Lpud Cheers ;) He proposed a resolution to the effect that the Radicals of Manchester would never either forget or forgive the murder of their friends till full justice had been done to their cause .
Mr . Benbow then rose and said that he would cordially second the resolution . ( Cheers ;) Some twenty years ago , on this very ground , he , with others had advocated the cause of the suffering peop le . ^ Ch eers . ) Upon those occasions they had petitioned the House of Commons for a Reform of Parliament , and the Result had been the Manchester M assacre . ( Hear , hear . ) They had prayed the legislature to lighten their burdens , and the answer had been the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , as would be well remembered by the majority of those present . ( Cheers . ) They had askedlor cheap bread and the answer had been the passing of the Six Acts for the purpose of restraining their liberty in making known their wants . ( Hear * hear . ) After
alHuese efforts , however , they had failed to break the sp irits as a proof of which the splendid meeting which was then assembled to commemorate the bloody deeds of 18 J 9 , was amply sufficient of that blood y deed by which their fathers , sisters , and brothers had been butchered on that Sacred spot , ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The spirit of the people was still animated with the determination to achieve those political rights , whioi they ought to possess . [ Cheers . ] And this was a subject of the warmest congratulation amongst those who had so long advocated the cause of equal justice . ( Cheers . ) It was tme poverty , like a desolating plague had shed its contaminating influence over the dwelling-place of every working man in the kingdom—the naked bodies , or
thread-bare garments of that class was sufficient evidence of their degradation and misery . ( CheeM . ) Now , what could be the cause of this ? Was it to be attributed to the God of Nature ? No ! the Psalmist seated , "that he openeth his hand and filleth all things living with plenteousness' . " And again the same Psalmist said , " 0 Lord , all eyos look untothee , arid thou renderest them their meat in due season / ' ( Hear , hear . ) The fields of nature produced amply abundant materials for all his creatures . The cause , then , is to be found somewhere else . ( Hear . y Where , then , did they think it lay ? In the merciless , unmixed aristocracy of the government ; ( hear ) - —thatvile , rapacious , perfidious , aristocracy , who framed all their laws ; thatinfamous aristooracy , by whom all their concerns were
administered— ( hear)—that aristocracy , by which all their parliament men were bred and trained to make laws to suit their own purposes—( Hear , hear)—the vile , the rapacious aristocracy . This was the pestilential source from which all their evils flowed . ( Hear , hear . ) Here they might behold the parent of all che bad laws , by which all their substance had been extracted—by which which they were compelled to live , move , and have their being . ( Hear , near . ) They were told that they had nothing to do with the laws but to obey them . ( Hear . ) Of such a class were Sir Robert Bray Surface Peel , who had said that their wants proceeded from their not knowing what they wanted . This man whs angry because Cobbett called him a weaver . ( Hear . )
Now , there was rothinjj wrong in being n weaver ; but the application of this term to such a creature as Peel , who knew no more about weaving than a skylark did about planting potatoes . ( Laughter . ) It was the application of the term which was wrong . ( Hear . ) But the fact was , they must look to themselves for a remedy for all the evils of which they complained ; and he wished to impress upon their minds that the aristocracy are naturally enemies of the people . ( Htar , hear . ) They had neither / feelings nor interests in common with the people . But the creatures allowed , nevertheless , that the remedy was still in their own hands—that the people possessed the power , the strength , the hardihood and courage to effect their own liberty , if it was not their
own'fault . ( Cheer 3 ;) But would their enemies concede them their liberty ? No ! As well might the Circassians expect liberty from the iron grasp of the Emperor of Russia ^ -as well might they attempt to raise a column upon a quicksand—as well might the lamb expect mercy from the hungry wolf . ( Hear , hear . ) But still liberty was within the reach of every one of them . If they had it not , it was most decidedly their own faults . ( Hear , and cheers . ) They did not want materials ; the bountiful Ood of Nature had supplied them with every material ; they did not want men—they did ^ ot want brave hearts , nor sharp swords , nor thundering cannons ; but what they did want was union . Let them be united and triumph , and freedom was certainly theirs . ( Cheers . ) Now , there was one thing which he ( Mr . Behbow ) had a most anxious wish to impress upon their minds ^ - " What stood in the way of the people and
the attainment of their common rights and liberties ?' ¦ ' They should thipk of this , and setit before them , and set their whole hearts upon it , by which they would obtain correct idea ? of the power of their enemies . They should set in juxta-position the power of their enemies , and the inexhaustible resources which they themselves possessed ; anil thus they would be convinced that neither the deception of the Whigs not the tyranny of the Tories would ever be abl'j to keep them lrom the full enjoyment of thosn privileges which they now sought as the only means of promoting tbeir political well-being . ( Hear and cheers . ) After referring to the demonstrations of Birmingham and Glasgow upon the people of which places he bestowed the highest encomiums for their exertions . Mr . B . concluded by making an eloquent appealtb the iheetiiig , to be iftrited and determined in demanding their rights . He concluded amidst
lpudcheers . Mr . Vincent then rose , and was received with loud and continued cheering . He said , Mr . President , and Men and Women of Manchester , —AVe have met to night to eyince ' our steadfaiit adherence to those great princi ples of liberty , for the advocacy of which our lathers and brothers were butchered upon this spot . ( Hear and cheers . ) We are here not merely to make speeches , or to laud each other with fulsome nattery , ; but to declare in the face of England's Aristocracy , that the remembrance of that bloody d eed , will stimulate us to renewed exertions until their unhallowed power is destroyed . YLoud cheers , ) VVhat was the crime of our brethren in 1819 ? ( Hear . ) I'll tell you .
They met to petition for Universal Suffrage . — ( Cheers . ) For a repeal of the accursed Com Lawsfor those measures of political justice which we are resolved to obtain . ( Loud cheers . ) As rational men , we are destroying the political system that engendered men base enough to perpetuate the horrible outrage committed upon this place on which we stand . ( Loud cheers . ) We were slaves in 1819—we are slaves now —( cheers )—but the meeting to night is one of those incontrovertible evidences of our deterniination , that will scare the Aristocracy into nothingness . [ Cheers . ] What is our present position ? . In 1819 we were under the Bproughmong ^ ering faction . [ Hear . ] Now we are under the reign of enlightened arid philosophic
Whiggery . ( Laughterarid cheers . ) How is our position altered ? Let us go back a little . In 1830 , the glorious French Revolution , took p lace ; The French people , oppressed by their Aristocracy , rose in arms and obtained a glorious and almost bloodless victory , ( Cheers . ) Butthey . were cheated and swindled by the French Whigs ( hear and cheers ) , just as you were synndled by the Whig Reform Bill . ( Loud Cheers . ) The French Revolution roused the British nation into action . The leading Whig Aristocracy , "hungry for place , and thirHty for pp >? er , taking advantage of the general discontent , raised the cry of Reform ; and , backed by their physical efforts , carried" their £ 10
Reform Bill . ( Cheers . ) What have we got by this bill ? The first point ; was the ^ "Iri « h Coercion Bill " ( groans ) , because the ministry were in some slight favour with the English Radicals , and could do with-King Can and his tail , f Laughter . ] Thelrish had grievances . We had a Reformed Pailiament . And that Parliament began its Reformed propensities b y destroying the civil privileges of the Irish , and supp lantingtingthern by a complete military despotism . [ Gr 6 ani 3 , ] ^ That wasi Reform No . 1 . [ Laugh ter . ] Now the London peaplfethopjrht that the &iglish people Would experience a / similar reform , so they met in Calthorpe-street ^ to petition for a litrte further reform .

( Cheers . ) Let us imbibe sound opinions—let us act up to those opinions , and let us never rest contented until we have entirely overthrown the vile svstem under
which we are living . [ Loud cheers . ] Are there any Whigs here ? [ Laughter . ] Because those fellows say that we onghttohave the Suffrage , but are too ignorant to exercise it . One would think that our present representatives were intelligent meiii— - [ Mr . Vincent here gave an amusing anecdote relative , to an interview he had had with Mr . Potter , M . P . for Wigan , as reported in his Birmingham speech , which created much laughter . ]—Mr , Vincent resumed—Let me tell the VVhigs , if they want the Ballot , we will help them to get it upon the condition chat at the same time they help us to get Universal Suffrage . , We are contending now representative Government . There is now but two parties in the country—those who are for the
Democracy and those who are for the Aristocracy . [ Hear , hear . ] Which party do you belong to . [ Loud cries of "the Democracy . " ] It is tp carry out this principle we shall have to combine . In a few weeks a grand meeting of all the towns in the southern division of Lancashire will be held hear Manchester , to adopt the National Petition of the people ' s charter . [ Cheers . ] We shall expect your aid in this great cause . ( Cries of " we will , you shall have it . " ) You have been tutored by Cartwright , Cobbetvand . Hunt—you stood by the cause of Radicalism when it-was otherwise unpopular , and you will not desert us now . fHear , hear , arid cheers . ] I have been in the very Torified county of Northampton , and I find that the farmers and
agricultural labourers are as thoroughly convinced of the necessity of a sound radical change as you yourselves . ( Cheers . ) VVe want reform , to improve the mental and physical condition of the people , not for any fanciful love of change . A Tory parson once said to a labouring man , " Why , John , yon have a large family , but you know , God never sends mouths but he sends meat . " ( Laughter . ) " Why , that may be true , " said John , " but he sends me the mouths , and you the meat . " ( Continued laughter . ) And now , my friends , we wish to reverse this order of things . ( Hear , arid cheers . ) We wish to give bread to those who have the mouths—clothes to those who make the clothes—shoes to those who make the shoes—houses to those who build the
houses —( loud cheeis . )—beef and mutton to those who fatten the ox and the sheep ^ -in . vhort , we -wish to carry out thatportion of scripture which says he that works not , neither shall he eat . '' [ Loud cheers . ] A Northampton Newspaper—a very nice paperand I have ho doubt you have some very nice papers here —[ Laughter]—says that Radicalism is opposed to Christianity . Poor fool ! how little does he know of Christian doctrine . The fundamental principle is "Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you . " All men are brothers . [ Cheers . ] My friends I feel somewhat fatigued , having spoken every day for tha last fortnight ; k but the remembrarice that I am on the plains of Peterloo , in spires me with renewed vigour . Methinks even now
the departed spirits of the murdered patriots ' of Manchester hover over us , [ hear hear ] , bidding -us to ' gp forward in the great workuintil youareplaced in the position that you ought to attain " ; until you have made England what she ought to be—a Deinocracy . fimmense cheering and cfiypiii of ho , nd « . ] jui that is good and virtuous in the nation is with us . It wants but our union and our knowledge to insure our success . [ Renewed cheering . ] Rally , then , men of Manchester . [ Cheers , and cries of " We will , we will , " ] I know you will , jand believe me amongst the many men who may devote their talents and energies to your cause ^ there is not one more determined to stand steadfastly by you thBnhe who is
now reluctantly compelled to say " Good Night . " The cheering which succeeded was kept up for several minutes . A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman . After which the multitude quietly . dispersed , being evidently much impressed not onl y with the eloquent appeals that had been made to them by Messrs . Vincent and Benbow , but also with the sad recollection of the melancholy tragedy which that spot ever brought to their ; remembrance , and wliicH , ai their resolution expressed it , they seemed determined never " either to forget or to forgive until fulljustice had been done to / the cause , for the support of which their fathers and mothers , and brothers and sisters , were cruelly murdered .

State of Trade ; - — -There has been a fair inquiry both for goods and yarn during the last few days ; but the buyers , who were compelled to g ive a slight advance last week in consequence of the increased firmness of the cotton market at that time , have endeavoured to tak e advantage of the subsequent decline in cotton at Liverpool . In this attempt they have not been very successful , but the business done at the prices of last week has been on a rather limited scale . —Manchester Chronicle , of Wednesday .
Hull Corn Market , August 14 . —The fresh supply of farmer ' s Wheat at this day ' s market was about adequa . te to the demand of our rniUers , and must be noted 4 s . to 6 s . per quarter over the rates of this day week ; in some instances a greater advance was paid , a fine parcel or two having obtained 88 s . per qr .

York Corn Market , August 11 . — -From the very excited state of the Corn markets in this neighbourhood , especially that of Wakefield yesterday , we have considered it our duty to ascertain , as correctly as we are able , if the continuance of wet weather has seriously . injured tbe growing corn ; and from the ears of Wheat we Have examined , ^ and from the opinions of those farmers who may be firmly relied upon , we are quite satisfied that with the exce ption of causing a later harvest , which , ig well nigh balanced by the plumpness of the grain ( for it has fed astonishingly ) , we have the prospect , should Providence bless us with fine weather , of having a full average crop . At this day ' s market most extravagant prices are asked for everything , and much higher rates are paid where business is done , but itis difficult , to give any correct quotation ?
, Newcastle Cattle Market , Aug . 14 , We had an unusuall y great market this morning , and , as was expected , a dull one .: Prices may be quoted 6 d . per stone lower both on Mutton and Beef . Better prices were obtained yesterday at the fair than at the market this merning . Notwithstanding the great number of stock , there were not manj left at the close . Prices as follows : —Beef , 6 s . 6 d . Mutton , 6 s . 6 d . to 7 s . per st . ; sinking offal . : Newcastle Hay and Straw Market , Aug . 14 . —There was but a thin attendance of buyers this morning , the farmers , in consequence of the favourable change that has taken place in the weather , being generally engaged in leading their own hay- The supply was also much smaller thaa
last week , though much higher prices were obtained . Old loud boy ooU a * from £ 4 . 4 s . ta £ 7 , per ton : new land r hay ( all of this year ' s growth ) , from £ 3 . 15 s . to £ 4 . 15 s . per ton . Wheat straw brought from 3 s . to 3 s . 6 d . perthrave . There was only one cart of Oat straw , which sold at 3 s . per thravei There were 45 carts of hay and nine of straw ' at market . Newcastle Corn Market , August 24 th ; - Having moderate supplies of Wheat on Satufdaj last , in addition to extremely unsettled weather , there was again an animated demand for the article at an advance of 2 s .. per qr . and very little remained unsold . Bonded Wheat was also in great request , and 4 s . to -6 s . ; .. per qr . higher ; fine samples of
Meeklenburg red reaching 64 h ^ per qr . The weather since Saturday , however , having become more seasonable , there was not the same anxiety to pnr » chase on the part of the millers , although the little business transacted . tr ' aaat Saturday ^ rates . Fine Rye is Is to 2 s . qr . dearer , and the consumption is miuch increased owing , to the high price of Wheat . Barley is 2 s . per qr . higher , 42 s . per qr . having been obtained for a fine Norfolk sample . Malt does not partake of this improvement , 58 s . being still the top price , but sales are more readily effected . There was a fair supply of Oats , which met more demand at former prices . For fine Beans there is some enquiry . Flour has advanced 2 s ; to 3 a . per sail , 68 s . being now the price of household .
Newcastle Horse andCattlb Fair , Aug . 13 . ^—The Fair to-day was numerously attended bf buyers and sellers . Of horses there was not i great variety , the best having been bought up prei vious to this day , and with the exception of » very few good draught hoTses , and here and there » useful coach horse , the fair was not excellent a regards the quality , though great prices were asked . Of fat cattle- there was a good show , and 7 » . F * stone appears to be the average price . Milch covrj fetched greft prices , and sold moire readily than
any other description of cattle . There was a moderate show of country beasts , ^ for which great priert were demanded , and of Scotch and Irish kvloes there was a larger show than usual ; thriring , fresh-conditioned three-year olds weje offered at from £ 4 10 s . to £ 6 per head ; prime heavy Argjleshire of the same age ^ about £ 8 . There were not many sheep , but a very great number of pigs , whidi sold readily at good prices . Upon the whoje tbe fair may be considered as heavy , and business b » J to trainsact , the buyers being , evidently caofiota about laying out their money .
DONCASTER ; AuotfST CATTLE FaIB . —Tbi * fair never assumed a , n aspect of so much importance as on Monday last , when it was held , according to the custom of that town ,: on the day after the fit 6 » in consequence of that date falling on : ¦ Sunday-With the exception of hunters , coach-horees , and hacks / of the meet valuable description , which * e ^ chiefly disposed of on the Saturday previous ,. vj * shew of every kind of hacks was very abundint-j the number of purchasers equal to the sopplyr 8 * remunefating prices were readily pbtained for e »* A large quantity of wool was exhibited , andfor W most part taken off at a reduction of 6 d . to Is-r * stone on the prices of Saturday week .
