      / BTOCKPORT . Anothsu Meeting . ' oe the Chabtists . — On Tuesday evening , in consequence of the unexpeoted arrival ol Mes » M . Buttervrorth and Bienbow , of Manchester , a public mee'ing of emergency was called , at the Stanley Arms Inn , Newbridge-lane , and in a short time after the hour appointed , the large room , whieh is « igbteen yards by six , was crammed almost to , Suffocation ; in facr , the meetr ing , as it proceeded , became uncomfortable , from the intense anxiety manifested to hear these two inestimable speakers . Mr . Jaines Mitchell was appointed chairman on tbw occasion , in the absence of Mr . Davi ? . Mr . Botterworth , of Manchester , who said that the Chairman bad stated that he was

      unable to say why the meeting was . called , he ( Mr . B . ) woold tell them—The working classes wanted a fair remuneration for a fair day ' s labour . That was tbe object of these meeting ; ftDd if the whole community could form themselves into eae compact body , and resolve to work no more until their grievances were redressed , they would stand upon cotstitutiona ) grounds . There was now , he wa » happy to fin-d , but one opinion prevailed amongst the industrious classes of England ; and they had i ; ome to the determination not to sit down with their suffering any longer , nor be content with less than a voice ia the making of those laws by which thty are to be governed . That could be obtain « d by working for the tyrants no longer . Tbat once actod upon

      , the people would soon obtain their rights . The speaker concluded by caHiag upon the working classes to rouse themselves ; to observe the national holiday , when fised upon by the Convention ; and to oppose the Poor Law Bill . —Mr . Benbow , of Manchester , made a spirited and excellent speech of some length , which he directed exclusively to the industrious classes , and not to those middle-men those smooth-faced - ^ till' men , who had sold the people to the Aristocracy , and would . sell God himself if he could be personified apon-earth ,--Mr , Daviw , having just entered the room , urged the working clashes , ' in a short speech , to become members of the Working Men ' s ABsoeiatwn .

      —MrVPilling . next detailed an act of inhumanity aad tyranny againsta working man , named Booth , by Bow » r , a police officer , and Martin , a toff-y-dealer , and the partiality and injustice of the Whi g Bench , the Town-clerk , Coppoek , and the Watch Committee . —The Chairman explained that O'Brien was eafq ; and , alluding to another subject , corrected an impression that he had been discharged for agitation !' Such was not the ease . He bad worked five years for a Tory master , Major Maraland , and , although he uniformly opposed him , he wa » never interfered . w . —Thank * were than voted to Messrs . Butter , worth and Benbow ; and three cheers were suce ' eH- ' sively given for the Convention , O'Brien , and Stephens ; and the meeting broke up .

      BIBMISTGHAM . Female PoliticalUnioj * . —On Mondny evening last , a rather smaller than usual , but nevertheless ; a very uiiauimous . and spirited meeting of this Uq , iou was held at the Public Office . Messrs . Colijus and J . B . O'Brien were present . Mrs . Whigitone having been called to the chaiiy Mr . O'Br-ien addressed the meeting , and briefly referred to the late , ar , e 3 t oi Mr . Browu , the delegate , ' for Birminghain , to the , Conventioni If Mr . Brown lind dtf . 'er » ed the hard tlMugs W have bftsn ^ aiAabpu ^ Wm . which vrere said , —but he ( Mr . O'Brien ) did not know he did—wrelv n was not for the Radical bpiy to have said them ; they should have left that for their enemies . From the same caiuethfit Mr . Brown had bee » thrown

      into the hands of . Gpy ^ rDmflnt , at au earlier stage of the movement , the ftev . Mr . Stephens was arrested , and he was not arrested till souse of the so-called Reformers begun to represent him as au incendiarv , and assnwn desirous df a ^ proprintin « the property of others to himself . The moment the inomberi ) of any body began to quarrel , they might be certain , that that moment t ) iey became a proy to the common enemy ; but if they acted as they professed to doin the fair democratic spirit of equality , no power on earth could by any possibility prevent their succe . « s . It had been olten said that women ougrit not to take a part in politics . That ha ( Mr UiJrien ) denied altogether ;—( hear , hear , )—for when all parties combined , as they did do , to take

      uw « y and to lessen the earruBg * of the man , who suffered » or « than the wife ? ( Hear , hear ) It was perfect nons- nse to nay that women had nothing to do with politics . He would admit that they ought to have nothing to do with politics , if politics had nothing to do with them ; but us they were subjected to such a system of bad Government , and as distress was brought to almost every woman , should th < -y not hare a share of the power , m order to have a share of the protection ? Mr . Q'tfrien then directed the meetin g to the fact of tbe chief magistrate of the country being a woman , and to the great power wuich was delegated to her . She was not ouly sup * posed to understand all State matters , but also ecclesiastical matters were conffded to her . and « te «•«

      the head of the Church ; an 4 iLe ,, j ) egiaeH was po ?^ sessed of equal power with the Hou > e of Lord 4 *> rthe House of Commons . Now , if Queen Victoria was nt for all tbatipower—ifv she was lit to be equal in auih 9 r » ty wilhtto .

      in the neighbourhood of Manchester , and" to the enormous acale" of ^ profits wkkli the ' ahopXeeperfi received for no actuej s « jrvice > , Teadered , the speaker said that he hoped they would urge * and advisu their hn « banda to come forward —aye , even drive them to physical fcrce if they could not succeed without . ( Loud applause . ) "Lhey . should ose a little of the « entle influence which , they possessed—a little of that lniluenceby which the womrn of Paris caused their husband * to gain every single successful measure which they did gain during the fi ,: at revolution ; Tor there was . not a single measure of Reform th « u accomplnhed , exctpt what wag accomplished by the women , I ( Hear , Jtiear . ) Wheu . the feudal system was about to be put downthe men weire

Whv , they formed themselves into an immenae body , and said to the men , " Come with us , and we will abolijh the feudal system ; ' and they inarched at the head oftha men to VersMlles ; » M » the Jtiog prisoner , and cempellpd hici to sign ( th » t Actwhich abolished or put ' an end to that system . Mr . OTirfrnnext adverted to the ^ rent distreM endured more especially by the females of this country , who from being honest and industrious were , by sheer distress , driven to the necessity of loading a life 6 f iufttray , and concluded his remarks by again recommendiog all present to urge upon their husbands and friends to go onward in tho cause . Tell them ( continued Mr . O'Brien ) if thev

      will not act peaceably , they must act forcibly . Let your language be to your husbands , " Peaceably if \ ou may , but forcibly if you must . " ( Approbation . ) Mr . Collins spoke nexr , and in the course of his remark ? , said that the strength of the people ' s cause was increasing every day , notwithstanding all the opposition , and ' all the attempts which had been made to put then * down . ' Bht their governor * trembled in their shoes , audit would not be Jong . before a little bone would be ^ hrown out to quiet tae papule . ( Cries of " We'll never have it" ) The pe ^ Je df Scotland were _ determined not to be diverted fronj pursuing the righteous object which they had b&rbre thtro , by any bone of contention , thrown either by the Whigs or the Tories ; and he ( Mr . Collins ) was that the

      quite sure people of Birmingham would never be deluded to adopt any other than the straightforward onward course ' which Xhey bxd pursued . He Had 1 been 1 -told that there was a warrant out agaiTiat . bim , bu , t tboy were waiting for Mm to com ' - mjt himself again , for the first offence wa <» not quite stroh ' g enough ' : they ytanted some forth , r testimony . But he did not mk , d it . He was determined , at all risks , spmevweal or came woe , to advocate the people ' s cause till it had prospered , and tho day was riot fardi&tant whenit would do so . ( Cheers . ) A very spirited and energetic address was then read , which had been reeeived from the Brighton Female Patriotic Association , which was loudly apulauded , after which the meeting separated , at an early hour .

      Protest . —The following protest of the members of the Political Union has been extensively circulated thraugh'tbe town within the last few days : — ' > We , thetmder % n 9 d members and friends of the Birmingham Political Union , deem it necessary to make known to our fellow-townsmen , and the country generally , that we , aa a body associating together for the purpose of petitioning for our rights and liberties , in a legal and constitutional manner , do not approve of the conduct of individuals making use of violent and inflammatory language , which , in oar opinicn , ig calculated to iniuie our sreat

      and righteous cause . We , therefore , denounce all such violent proceedings , and are determined to follow the motto of our gr . at leader , T . Attwood , E > q ., M .

      CASLISI . B . Radical AeaociATiON . ^ -The quarterly meeting pf thid body took place on Mondny erening last , in the theatre , when a full statement of the accounts for the last quarter was read by tbe secretary , and a report of the progress of the caflse in Cumberland . It appears tkat new Associations have been formed in various places , and upwards of 6 , 000 additional signatures obtained to the National Petition . Through the exertions of delegates , an Association has been formed in the town of Maryport , and nearly 1 , 000 signatures obtained in the Tory town of Wlritehavfn ; and though no Association has yet been established there , still the spirit has gone abroad in the hearts of the people i and bv

      those place * being again visited there is little doubt oi the people being roused to a sense of their duty : and though misery is on the threshold of every working man t door ; and pain , and suffering . and hope deferred have made tho heart sick and the homedfsol&te- , still agitation is absolutely neevsj sary to combine and concentrate the energies of tbH people , and point out to them the beat course to be pursued for securing those rights , of which they have been so long foully cheated , by an unjust , unfeeling , and wicked aristocracy . Th « report went on to recommend to the members the necessity of supporting the Convention by continuing the collecting of the National Reat , as the late simultaneous meetings m England , and those that are

      shortlyto take place in Scotland , must necessarily decrease the funds .
