      MBL . O'CONNELL AND MR . PETER ^ PURCELL . Ti-tkc B& * r tftke Fnemm ' rJmtnuU . Sackville-street , Jan . 18 , . ¦ & « , —t am reluctantly obliged again to address ^ oo , is consequence of my name being offensively tntroduced into the proceedings which took place < Hm day attbe Com Excbanfe . It is important , at east to me , that the public should not be led to 3 xget the real question at issue . On the 5 th instant 2 published a letter , stating roy opinion as to . the anproprirty of having the fond * of the Precursor Society lodged in the National Bank , at Tralee , to xbe credit of Mr . O'Conriell , particularly after trea-« orers had been appointed } on kb own motion , and in pursuance of hi * promise to me that the funds

      = sfa . ould be , from the day of the appointment , transferred to the Hibernian Bauk . Mr . O'Connell has ¦ carefully avoided any allusion , up to this moment , to this violated pledge , but has defended his financial arrangement by the production of a resolution alleged to hare been passed on the 30 th November , authorising him to invest the money iu the manner ^ rfach occasioned my remonstrance . This document "vas produced for the first tme after the publication of my letter of 5 th January . In my second letter 1 denied , and now repeat my distinct denial of any knowledge of its existence . Mr . Ray has given an opinion that I could-not have" been igaoraat of it , and Mr . OConnell declared that 1 should iare referred to the trai » actMm book before

      1 expressed my doubts as to this hiwmg been s gsxnme and valid resolution . Now , how stand the facts ? TM * resoladon , appoufldnf Mr . O'Connell treasoreTjib stated to have been passed at a meeting « f the ^ cMr&nlttee in the pre * enee of several gentle-*»»; « aly- © i « of whom has us yet alluded to it { Mr . BuUen ) . ¦ Tid * resolution , it fe to be presumed , ^« s proposed , Seconded , passed , and then ordered ^ o be placed oa the "b ook ? of the society . What * js Mr . Bullen , a working member of the comttittee who was present when , that resolution is said to hare been read , moved , seconded , * odpassed r *• That he has ooreeollection of the transaction , and he therefore can well reconcile to Irimself my total ignorance of the resolution passed "in my absence . " What says Mr . Thomas Welsh ,

      the charmac , who certified the proceeding of the 3 dth November , by virtue of his office as rhai rTnan of the subsequent nseeting ? Neither has he any recollection of this resolution ; and he " also unequivocally discharges me irem any knowledge of it . Here « re two of the most active and intelligent members of "the committee actually ignorant of this resolution of the 30 th of November , affecting the entire funds of the society , if r . O'Cennell himself , too , appeared to have forgotten or overlooked this most important resolution ; for pending any conference with Hin ^ on this subject , no alltuion to it was made , nor has the natural answer it would have supplied to my remonstrance been given to those friends who have waited on him at my instance . Mr . Ray , too , the- recorder of this resolution , as secretary , bv a remarkable

      coincidence , never made the most remote allusion to it , even while 1 was inveighing against the impolicy ef this extraordinary insestment of public money in Mr . O'ConneJF * . nanie , and . ia his own bank . * Bvtbe-bye , in tto . opjinioa , it i * but justice to say , ^ f ^ . Ray iuttr concapred" jrith am . If " , however , this private and equivocal resolution were erer of value , it ^ as rescinded by Alt . O'Cwawl ' i ' * om act on the 11 th of December , in » public xaeeting , on which day be moved the appcintuaeniof three treasurers , an act vhich was ratihed by . an unanimous vote of the bod v . Surely it is needless to add that the monies should have been paid to these gentlemen from the date of their appointment , or if the money were to be retained in his own hands , why ^ "tt" * them to such an efnee .

      1 have now done with this defence , if it can be so called , and leave tbepublic to form its ovrnconclusion upon the facts as they appear . Mr . O'Connell has * corrected thcee mis-statement * imported in the pnbKc papers , that identified me with the proceedings in the committee on the 30 th Novem ber , * ad he explains that my szgnatoK , which appears on pa * p 11 of the transaction book , as chair- * son , was on th * 19 th of December . This coirectiea the public will perceive distinctly releases me from" any knowledge of a document , of the existence of which i had previously proclaimed my ignorance . I have been accused of having been precipiu t * in having inconsiderately rushed into print : hot those who say « o must voluntarily overlook the efforts 1 madedoriog a period of five weeks—the trouble I took—ami the entreaties which . 1 used to , alter this arrangtmaut of

      I remonstrated- with Mr . O'Connell in committee , aad in private I besdught . hu& , a £ die request of his private iriend * and public suppalters , to put an end to the equivocal system under which the funds were managed ; and I never got a reply or a hint from him that he was at any pond acting under a- lepal resolution of the body ; but I did gat a promise that the system should be changed . That promise was , iiawevet , unperformed }* ad tboagh ail ifa . CounelV * iriends , mark yon , concurred in the justice and ajecesrity of my " remonstrance , he in-the end totally and obstinately refused to carry his promise into -effect . Under these circumstances , what was left Jae to do ? Mr . O'Cennell ' s friends will say , appeal to a public meeting of the society . Need I re ! er to

      recent proceedings for the probable termination of « uch a course . ? My recent connexion with the « xderv is well known , and 1 shfyttrj have been considered a . party to this transaction had I * not taken the steps I hare done . I hare been assailed by many for the coarse I have taken , and the most unworthy motivrs hare been hinted at as my inducement to act as I iixve done . I now dare my accusers to come for-¦ ward to support by a shadow of proof their false aad base calumnies . Mr . G'Connell and others haTe stated that 1 am a traitor—that I have deserted the cause of th * pcopte , * n 3 tkat I hare acted n base p art to Thy fanmtrj . If expressing bold and tonest ojranoni tonstiiatjs the character of a traitor , I am one . Under tms accumulated torrent of abuse

      it is someeonsolation to 'drink that I am circumstanced like often who have preceded me in the political p ^ bceeainpr " of Ireland , and who , however respectaHe their station su'd honest their view * - , are denounced as renegades die moment they exercise their own judgment , and differ from the individual opinions « f-fiiSrpoHdcalleadCT . My wholeTtfe is the best refutation I can offer to -such slander : That my poutical career has been short I freely admit ; but no person that has observed it can ' say that it was otherwise than anxious and zealous for die good of my country , or that either my thn « or my money was ever wanting to -advance the public cause . At the sacrifice of pr ivate friendship and family comfort * , I devoted myself

      ardently to promote the interests of the people . Many who now assail me cannot say so much . A « to lie aspersions heaped upon me by Mr . Daniel O'ContieS , I regret mat he ahonld descend from the high station he should hold in society to deal in such persoial abuse . I have , I hope , avoided—at least I hare endeaToured to do so—uie introduction of any word disrespectful toward * him ; 1 have not tbrgBtten , a * an Irishman and a Catholic , how much i am indebted to him ; and , although I have been obliged to express my diaent from the conduct he feaa thought proper to pursue , and may be obliged to do jeo again , I h # pe I shall never make use of language by which 1 would exhibit a forge tfulcess « f his past services to Ireland , or what is Sue to my ¦ own station as a gentleman . Whatever difference mny have occurred between Mr . O'Connell and

      mv-« u , my heart and mind ai * as much devoted to , jmd as truly a : the service ef , my country as at any period in my life . With reference to the impeachment brought against me , as charging Mr . O'Coniiell with any intention on hi * part to appropriate the public atoney to k-is own uses , I have only to . reinsert an observation which occurred in my first letter : — 1 ^ consider so s « red a fund as that which has been collected from the hard earnings o , f a confiding peasantry should not only be secure , which 1 fully beneveitto be in the hands of Mr . O'Connell , but that is should be so placed as to be above su ^ idon , -2 « a in the minds of political enemies . " In mv aecoad letter I repeated this disclaimer , and I have only further to remark , that I cannot be responsible for the commentaries of the public press . I am , Sir , your obedient Servant , PiTTEE PvaCELL .

I think he said , " For God ' s sake , do help me out"' 1 and another person did so ; he appeared very ill ; he complained very much ; he could scarcely walk . The other man took hold of his arm , and assisted him into the house . I did not go in for an hour ; I wa * engaged with the horses . When I did so , he was s&t m a chair near the fire . I stopped with him about an hour ; he still complained of being very ill . I saw him- at different times till half-past nine , when George V . 'hite teok him away .

About ten several hundred persons were assembled ; there were not the least sign of any breach of tfie peace at that time About eleven o ' clock Thr . Roy , the Rer . " Mr .

Esq ., magistrate * for tire division of Holland , arrived at the Police-office , and after the necessary arrangements were madei abbot' twel v * o ' efock the magistrates , together -with the informer , Morley , appeared aV the police office door , and were about to proceed to Bridge-rtreei office , under the escort of th « policemen ; they had scarcely got three yards out of the police office , when the mob rufhed irpon Morley , and struck him ; howerer , he succeeded in making a retreat into the police office . ' The mayor and the

      borough magistrates were immediately sent for , when a strong altercation took place between the borough and the Hollanl magistrates , who , in very strong tenns , told the mayor that if he was not able to preserTe the peace of the borough , they * hould apply to the Secretary of State . The mayor , however , immediately summoned all the special constable * , and swore in every respectable tradesman he could find . While this * as going on , nome of the mob proceeded to Bridge-ftivet office , and dragged Scholrs out into the street ; they pulled all the L * ir , aff bit he ^ d ,- and hustled and beat him all through Ifnage-s&ee ^ Emery-lane , and down West-slreet , until he . was qo . exhausted that he could not stand ; they leidhupjan a heap of straw , and were about to Uzht it , when

      Dr . iaradon Groom , Mr . Thomas ' Hamsosi , Mr . Robert Meaxs , and several others , rushed thruagh the mob , and rescued him from death . He was taken to the George and Dragon inn , and soon after several su . rgeons were in attendance , who rendemd every assistance in their power . Dr . Roy and the Rev . Mr .

About half-past two o ' clock a man belonging to Mr . Mears , of the London Tavern , was taking half a hogshead of ale on a truck , to deliver in the town , when the mob seized it , and immediately kaocked the end in , and began to drink the ale : at this time a dreadful tumult commenced ; the mayor made his appearance and addressed them , aad begged they would disperse . About twenty minutes to three , John Rawson , E > q ., read the riot act—a great number of the mob Uien went away ; the policemen were ordered to take some of the supposed ringleaders into custodv : thirteen were taken and sent

      to gaol ; the magistrates then expressed some anxiety for the safety of Morley , and to prevent him slxaring the same fate with " his vi 11 anons colleague , it was determined that Money shonld be lodged ia the gaol . . About five o ' clock , nearly 200 special constables and the policemen surrounded Morley , with some difficulty succet-ded in lodging him in the eaol , where . he remained until Saturday morning . Before he left the gaol , he loaded a brace of pUtols , walked up to the Peacock inu , disguised , paid his far e , and went off by the Stamford coach , which starts before daylig ht in the morning .

      not to * ay anything . The mayor then called on them Ur fini two sureties in £ 10 each , and themselves in £ 20 each , to appear at the Quarter Sessions to keep the peace towards all her Majesty ' s subjects . Mr . Staniland said that he hoped thcii worships would do to the prisoners as they had done to Miller and others th- ? day before , viz ., let them at liberty on their own recognizances .

Our hearty , Sir , have responded to your frrvent advocacy « f the poor , emaciated , and oppressed factory child , and your energetic animadversions upon that rile system of Mammon which destroys the existence of the offspring of Huglish women—coining the life ' s blood , bones , and sinews of haplos * childhood into lncre .

      GREAT PUBLIC MEETING AT HAMILTON . ( From our Gltugoie Correspondent . ) Much excitement prevailed in this town on Monday last , the 21 st of January , in consequence of the announcement that a lecture on politics was to be delivered by Dr . John Taylof j who has beea so long aud so often before the public , but who had never before been in Hamilton . The late extraoidinary proceedings of Bwwster , of Paisley , and the visit of Feargna O'Connor , whose views Dr . Taylor was known to entertain , added to the character which the Whig press has always given of him , led the inhabitants to speculate greatly upon what he would do and say , and among the laora timid created no

      little alarm . Not so , however , with the gj £ > d men and true , who had been accustomed to read his lucubrations in the Liberator : they had no fears . The band most handsomely tendered their ^ errices gratuitously , a compliment they refused to pay to their niisrepresentative Gillon , aud at eight o ' clock one of the churches was densel y crowded by an anxious and expectant multitude . The chair was taken by an old and tried Radical ; and thereafter the Doctor proceeded to lay down his Views aad opinions in such a manner as to rivet the attention and command the approbation of this great meeting .

      Never were the enemies of Radicalism more deceived than by his conduct ; trusting to the reports of his enemies , they looked for * ard to scenes of violence and confusion , end were evidently not prepared for the calm , distinct , argumentative manner , in which he advocated the principles of justice , or tbe bold eloquence with _ which he repudiated the doctrine oi slavish submission to tyranny . A 8 tern exhortation to all Radicals to refrain from all intoxicating liquors and highly-taxed articles , was received with much applause , and a determination evinced to follow uut the plans he recommended .

      POPULAR DEMONSTRATION AT EASTBOURNE . A public meeting of the working classes of Eastbourne and its vicinity was holden on Thursday evening last , in a large field , near the sea side , the use of which had been kindly granted ior that purpose by that excellent friend of the iladical cause , Mr . John Mann . A spacious hustings was erected for the accommodation of the several speakers , and the ground wa » lighted up by fires of sea coals , dec . Between four and fire hundred persons attended , and we doubt not that there would have been even a more numerous attendance , but for the inclemency of the weather .

      Mr . C . BaooxER ( of Alfriston ) having supplicated divine favour upon the objects and proceedings of the meeting , in an appropriate prayer , Mr . John Maynard ( Eastbourne ) read the "National Petition , ' " which he believed from his heart would have the beneficial tendency of obtaining for labour that reward which industry deserved . Mr .

      ' NATIONAL RENT MEETING AT BRIGHTON . { Abridgedfrom the Brighton Patriot . ) A meeting of the elect » rs and other inhabitants of the town of Brighton , was held in the large room of the Tuwn Hall , yesterday afternoon , for the purpose of takiug into consideration the propriety of sanctioning the National Rent , and to adopt such measures relative thereto as to the said meeting might appear expedient . It was anticipated , indeed had been publicly announced that F . O'Connor , 'Esq . would attend and address the meeting . That gentleman hadnot arrived , however , when the meeting terminated . Long before the hour nnmed for taking the chair ( three o ' clock ) the large room of the Town Hall was filled to suffocation , and a larger body of inhabitants had assembled than was perhaps ever seen iu any one room in Brighton . Hundreds left the Hull nnable to gain admittance , even before the chair was taken .

      The High Constable in the chair . Mrl OsBftiiNB on rising was loudly cheered . He said , Mr . Chairman , friends , and fellow-workmen—I have been chosen to submit to you the first resolution . It was one of those singular circumstances which seldom occurred in a man ' s lifetime , for him to stand in the preseuce of so large a body of his fellow-workmen , to address them on a subject affecting the interest of the great bulk of the working men . It wns fonnd necessary by those di-puted to forward their interests and secure the adoption of the National Petition , to adopt the plan of those bodies deputed to watch over the interests of railways and other companies—to be on the spot—to canvass members of Parliament , as far as wns

      practicable * for their support—to reason with them , as Well as they were able , in order to gain their support . He trustel by the bold front they should uituae , they should overcome the prejudice , aad the arrogance , and the ignorance of the Well dressed vagabonds of this country . ( Tremendous Applause . ) How was it that the agricultural labourer , uuder the present order of thing * , was unable to obtain for himself and family sufficient food to satisfy the cravings * of nature ? Not because * they were afflicted by any moral taint , but simply because am rulers imagined they were too ignorant to act justly . In order , however , to gain our rights , we must show that we are determined . Shull we or shall we not be prepared to act

      with our brethren in the North , in the West , aud in the Midlaud counties of England , —or shall we be contented with begging , and praying , and petitioning of that body , called , forsooth , a Reformed House of Commons ? My friends and fellow workmen , — in common with yourtelves I possess not the advantage of education . 1 cannot speak Latin and Greek , but I know when I am hurt ; I feel it ; and I must complain . ( Applause . ) I complain that we are hait , and hurt most miserably . ( Hear , hear . ) By that splendid race of politiciuns , the Whig * , the people hr \ d been deprived even of the right to exist < m the soil they were bora upon ; they were told they had better emigrate ; that there was no room fo ' r them . Now when the Almighty made the earth ,

      and gave it to niau for cultivation , he never intended it for tho exclusive benefit of any one class , but gave it to the bulk of mankind . Aad when it was declared that man should live by the sweat of hi « brow , it was never intended that in proportion to the sweat the bread should fail . ( Chevrs . ) What we ask of our rulers is this . Let us meet you in council ; and he ( Mr . O . ) did hope that their pride and prejudice would be overcome ; for it should not be forgotten that there was a limit to human endurance . ( Loud cheers . ) When solicited to leave their native land , let this be their answer , " Ours is a very fine country—as fine as any in Europe ; wo will not leave it , but we will have our rights in the land we were bom in . ( Vehement cheering . )

      With respect to thut splendid effort of Whig ingeunity , the Poor Law Amendment Bill , it was sot only by its m « ans to sacrifice children , but he was told that in the Eastern pnrt of Sussex it had been made an instrument in the hands of Government to recruit the army . Men were brought from the Workhousa Bastiles and introduced to the recruiting serjeant , and if they refused to enlist , and returned to the workhouse , why the cord of oppression was drawn a little tighter , until they could no longer endure the ill-usage , and they were ultimately forced to enter the army . And for what purpose ? not to defend their country , but to stifle the feelings of their mother * , their lathers , brothers , and sisters , by force of arms , or to butcher their children who were struggling for freedom in the provinces of Canada r Now , my friend ? , ( said Mr . O . ) , do let me intreat you to stand by the Charter ; to suDuort the

      National Convention ; and be speedy iu your movements , because the forms of law , which we are now ible te express oar feelings under , may soon be destroyed by our merciful rulers . ( Hear , hear . ) With respect to Reform , no doubt the Whi g officials tisd benefited ; the measure had reformed many of their pockets ; no doubt many of them were considerably improved in their condition ; but were the working inen of England any better for Reform ? N ow there are in the North of England 800 , 000 handloom weaver and their families who , after working from four in the morning till seven and eight o ' clock at night , get the small remuneration of 2 Jd . or 3 d . per head per day . ( Cries of hear , hear . and shame . )

      Reform had donelittle for them . Thousands of women and children were sacrificed annually in a race against machinery in those miserable hell-holes , theco ^ toji factories , in order to create riches for what had been emphatically termed the cottonlords—( hear , hear ); md then because the working men had not like themselves been cruel and calculating enough they shook their ill-gat ton-gains in our faces and tao&ted us with not being sufficiently respectable to be vonsidered as anybody in the nation . ( Hear , hear . ) He would repeat thousands were annually sacrificed at the shrine of Mammon , and that the wealth oi the cotton lords was derived from the blood and sinews of those who were doomed to toil out a miserable existence in . these hell-spawned factories .

" fi Mr . Reeye ? ose and said , Mr , Chairman , and Brothers all , —1 perfectly concur in the observations which have fallen from Mr . Osborne , and I feel pleasure in seconding the resolution he has submitted . The speaker then went on to impress the meeting with the importance of giving all its support to the National Petition and the People ' s Charter ; and then alluded to the attempt making by the Government to force upoa ns the infliction of a

      Rural Police , in doing which h « prayed the meeting to remember the old adage , "Give not the staff out of your own hands . " He houed and trusted they would suffer death itself to stand between them ; and . the wresting the staff out of their own hands . He spoke with reference to the constable ' * staff ; and he hoped they would never allow the Government to wrest from them the right to elect their own parish constable , and force upon them in ltesteudapaid spy police force . Mr . Reeve concluded an address of some length by exhortinjrhis hearers tot to be deluded by the blandishments held out by the emigration-mongers ; and called on tnem to stock fast to the "Garden of England '" repeating the lines of Clio Rickman : —

      If bugs infest me u in bed I He , Shall 1 leave ay bed for them , not I ; Riae , rout the vermin , every bug destroy , New make my bed and all iu aweeU enjo / .

Captain PECHEtt , M . P . briefly addressed the meeting . Mr .

      over and over again , for all sorts of bills and political measures , but had never before agitated lor their own rights ; : \ -Th * 5 ? rorkinjr >] a : sses had exercised their bestene / sies to promote the interests of the middle clata * g ^ bit tTthat party Kad ndtnW theinanliness tocora . e forward jind tohelp them ia return .

( Loud cheer * . ) To carry thi » out , they must have persons to lank-act the members of the House of Common " , ¦ who et present literally know nothing of the affaira ot the working classes . ( Applause ) It was ouita

      « s much as they could do to seek out patronage fur themselves . The working classes must be deluded l ; v men professing liberalism ; for while they had liberty on their lips , they hakl tyranny in their hearts . Look at Canada , where ministers were spilling the blood of honester men than themselves —( cheers )—and though they were continually inveighing against the brutality and horrid massacres of Canos , who took the liberty of xhootujg the foreigners whom they sent to Spain , what was that Compared wiih th « butchery which was made of men who were only standing up for the rights of their conn fryand thefr dwn home ? ( Cheers . ) ThecondnctwhiUhMioisteMwere pursuing in Canada would be imitated here if they had only the opportunity . ( Load- cheer * J Even here , no sooner does a patriot otandhrp i » rhe cause of humanity , than down comes Ae of

      veogemnce the law upon him , ( Hear , l » ar ^) f Let-them ' alio remember th « case of the Dorchester Labourers , and of the Cotton Spinners . ( Hear , hear . ) Every possible measure has been resorted to b y the working classes for the amelioration of their condition , but all their efforts have been met , and overwhelmed , and borne down by ; the Plutocracy of the land . They either have the laws , or they strain them , or make them to stop men from expressing their opinion * . Ihey had now no other hope but in having a Constitution by which every man ihall stand « m an equality m law . ( Applause . ) As it was by law they had been robbed of everything worth possessing , they must acquire power in making the laws iu order to ^ recover their right * , and all those blessings which made life comfortable and happy . ( Loud cheering . )

      Mr . Sandy 8 seconded the resolution . Mr . Barns said he had but a very few words to offer , but in what he had to offer he was sure they would all most cordiully agree . He rose to propose a delegate to the Convention , and that wan their worthy High Constable ( Cries of "No , no , " loud laughter and confusion . ) " No , no , " resumed Mr . Iiarns , I 4 i meant to say Mr . Osborne-r- ( loud applause )—but really lny mind was so occupied with thoughts on the impartiality , justice , and fairness of the High Constable , I could think of no one else . " ( Hear , bear , and laughter . ) He felt proud of proposing that highly-gifted man , who had shown so much talent iu his address to them that evening , and who , were he in the Commons' House of Parliament , would put many honoura ble members to the blush .

      Mr . Reeve said it gave him great pleasure . to second the nomination of Mr . Osborne . He possessed a large portion of natural talent , a quality highly essential in those who represent the workiug classes . Besides , it was not his misfortune to be an educated man—his teaching had been in the school of adversity , and that , perhaps , was the best school in which a mau could be taught to sympathise with his fellow men . ( Renewed cheers . ) He ( Mr . It . ) had been born and brought up with a silver spoon iu his mouth : still he had known adversity , und he had exercised much consideration on , and a heartfelt sympathy for , the distresses of the working classes . ( Cheers . ) The views he maintained were

      that it wns impossible for society generally to be happy , unless the bees of the hive were healthy , vigorous , and industrious . ( Loud applause . ) They must have part of the honey —( renewed cheers )— - and it was because the drones and the wasps had entered the hive , and consumed the honey , that the bees were weak and cheerless . ( Vehement cheers . ) Politicians were just now occupying themselves in discussions on the weakness of th * national defences , a * d some attributed the cause to the rottenness of our ships . He would tell the legislaturei a free people is the best defence of any country . ( Loud applause . ) ' The resolutions were all carried unanimously amidst loud cheers .

      Mr . Osborne replied in an appropriate speech , after which thanks were given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      CARLISLE . Radical Association . —Nothing can be more cheering , nor more fully demonstrate the ardent zeal of the members of this body , than the fact , that though they are generally excessively poor , a great portion being hand-loom weavers , and the fact being proved before the Commissioners appointed by the Queen to enquire into the state of that body , i that oa an average they could not earn more , working 14 hours a-day , than 5 s . or 6 s . a week . This , it will be allowed , is a wretched and miserable pittance ;

      scarcely adequate to keep them from starvation , — considering the high price of provisions , it is really astonishing that they have collected all the National Rent , besides their regular subscriptions ; and they are now most active in getting up a subscription ia aid of the Rev . J . R . Stephens , who truly " reigns in the hearts of the people . " Men , women and children are all anxious to support this good and holy man ! This , in our opinion , shows a sincere devotodnesi to the cause iu which we are at present engaged .

      BOLTON . Reform Association . —The Liberal Reform Association of this town have commenced public discussion evtry Tuesday evening . The best means of enfranchising the people has beea the principal topic of debate . The moral force men have been completely defeated , there being more than twenty to one against them . The people are all right here . The Whigs have endeavoured to raise the cry ol " Repeal the Corn Laws ; "but they will not listen to it . They want Universal Suffrage , and they an determined to have it—there ' s no mistake respecting that . Liberty is their motto : and the y will never cease their exertions until they have obtained it .

      RADCLIFFS BXtXSGE .
