Hartwell _ was requested to act as Secretary , iu the absence of Mr . Lovett .

      Mr .

      Mr . Caupbnter rose to more the following resolution , the standing orders having been auspended in consequence of the importance of the subject . In introducing the resolution , the speaker referred to the conversation which took place in the House of Commons on the preceding evening , iu the coarse of whick Lord John Russell spoke in terms of approbation of tke conduct of the Metropolitan Police force in Birmingham , and avowed that their presence ia that town had tended greatly to the preservation of the public peace , while the very organ of the Government , the Morning Chronicle , which contained j'his averment ef the Home Secretary , a report of the proceedings at Birmingham on Monday evening , which skewed what Ibord

      John RusatU ' s opinion upon the proprie ' y of the conduct in the police wa « . The following was the account furnished by the Morning Chronicle reporter of the conduct of the police in Birmingham on Monday evening . [ He then proceeded to read the account contained in the Morning Chronicle of Wednesday , which will be fouudin another part of the Star . J Mr . Carpenter then commented upon those fact ? , and declared it as his deliberately formed opinion , that the Convention should at once declare that , whenever people were thus assaulted , they were fully justified in inaating farce by force , andde .-itroying all who were either directly or indirectly parties to it . He begged to move tbe following resolution : .

      " That this Convention ha * read with feelings of inexpressible indignation ths statements 6 aid to have been la « t ni ^ rht made in the House of Commons , by the Secretary of Stata for the Home Department , relative to the necessity and propriety of employing the Metropolitan Police Force in various parts of the country , for the suppres .-ioa of public meetings of the people peaceably conducted : and further , the approbatory r < murks of the same Minister , of the bloody-minded and atrocious assault made upoa the

      people of Birmingham by a portion of that unconstitutional and obnoxious force ; and this Convention is of opinion , tbat wherever and whenever persona assailed for just and legal purposes , and conducting themselves without riot or tumult , are assailed by the police o ^ othnri , they are justified upon every principle of law and self-pre ^ ervatien , in meeting force by force , even 11 « the slaying ef tht persons guilty of such atrocious and furocious assaults upon their righ " s and perxon * . "

      Mr . Cardo felt glad to second the resolution . He was highly pleacei at such a resolution being brought forward at the present cricis . The people of the North , tbe West , and tbe South , were anxiously watching tbe Cotvention , and they must act firmly and decisively . ( Hear ) Mr . HktHKKINGTON said , that having read the account of the infameus proceeding * at Birmingham , he thought they were such'a « the Convention coulj not for a moment tolerate . . ( H ^ ar , bear , hear , hear . ) They must fearlessly express their opinion upon the conduct of the police , who seemed to delight in

      attacking and knocking down defenceless meD , women , ar . d children . ( Hear , hear ) "Whilst these outrages were being committed , not one Member out o ; C 58 in the House had , as yet , honesty , or courage , or manline . 's enough to get up in hi . s ' place and denounce the bloody and brutal Whigs , who sanctioned th « . * e proceedings . This was a mo « t convincing proof that the working classes were political outcasts . For himself , he would never attend another meeting without : being prepared to defend himsdf from such bloodthirety attacks . ( Hear . ) He would cordially support the " resolution .

      Mr . Neesom supported th » motion . Mr . Carpenter had gaid that tbe men had been too tame ender the eutrage they had suffered ; njw it waa his opinion that , kad it not Wn for the unfortunate interference of Dr . Taylor in protecting the police , the people would have taken amplo vengeance ; and wha' did the Doctor get for his interfereuce ?—why , insult and imprisonment . Mr . Woodhol'SE expressed an opinion strongly

      unfavourable to tbe conduct of the police . Mr . Burns supported the resolution . He had nonympath } with men who , for ISi . per week , would hire tht-ntselves ont to slaughter their fellow-country men . The resolution was carried unanimously . It was then res > lved that the resolution should be advertised in the daily and weekly Papvra . The Conventioa then adjourned till eleven o ' clock on Thursday .

      LATEST FEOM BIRMINGHAM . ( From ( he Correspondent of the Sun . ) Birmingham , Wednesday , half-past 3 , p . m . The authorities have at length yielded to publicopinion by withdrawing from the streets , at ad early hour yesterday ( .-veiling , the military and the police ; inceed , had they persevered in-lettiag looitupon the people the latter unpopular force the results would be mo * t lamentable , as the people breathe nothing but vengeance against them . If they are not immediatel y removed from the sight of the Birmingham people neither life or property wM berate ; ? o long as they are here tht town will not enjoy peace . This is the opinion of all classes . In

      constquence of the removal of the police the town was last night comparatively quiet . Still sosie complaints have been m . ide against tbera . It is said that on last night they broke a man ' s arm , and shamefully abused a female vrho waa waiting ia Adgebetb Street for her husband . It is a source of dVep regret to be compelled to complain of a force which waj raised with the professed objectof protecting the public peace . But it is equall y necessary for the prcttction ol the peace to expose the men who constitute that force , when by unnecessary violence . they

      outstri p their duty . And such in candour , but with regret , must be laid to the charge of the Metropoli . tan Police , now in Birmingham . A more fatal step , both to the peace of Birmingham , and the character of the police themselves , could not he advised or taken , than that of Bending them down here , wLen there was a sufficient military and municipal force in the place to supprew the most violont proceedings not to speak of the general determination of the classes—high , middle , and low—to crush the slightest appeal to physical force .

      Mr . Harney was brought before the Mayor yet . terday , hut was remanded till to-day , to await the arrival of Inspector Field , aud other witnesses . Mr . Russell , of Loveday . « treet , and Mr . Cutler , the Common Council , will be Mr . Collins ' * bail . Mr . L-jvett ' s sureties have not asyetbeun perfected Mr . Taylo < , proprietor of the Golden Lion , AstOB Street , » : ates that the Committee of General Saf « t > do not meet at hi * house . The organisation of trades which if now forming will , when perfected , present

      a terrible engine , before which all the tfiortg or acts of the Convention will bs as childrtn ' fe pity . I am slightly acquainted with their plan * and their intended movements , and unbeeitatingl y aftvui that they will prove a thorn in the side of whatever Government they may come in contact with . A report that the Metropolitan Police are acting the part ftf spies kere in coloured clothe * has so put the ori g inators oi tbe above plan en tke fui vice that it will be physically impossible to traee their movements .

      TOWN COUNCIL—METROPOLITAN POLICE . Yesterday there was a meeting of tke Council in thi Town-hall , the Mayor , Mr . SckoleMd , in the chair . Between Aldermen and Common Councilmen there were forty-eight members present . A very warm debate took place oa the introduction of the police into the borough . Mr . Blaxlaud , a common Ceunciilinan , exposed his arm , which was actually lirid from the blows received from the police , while he was peaceably Hturning to bis own house . Mr . Muntz and sewt&l others expressed their disgust and abhorrence at such brutality . Mr . Blaxland instanced a great number of other cases

      where unoifending men were cruell y ill-treated by tha police . A . notice to the following effect waB put on tha book 5—'' That at the next meeting of tbe Council a committee be appointed to inquire by whoga orders an armed force , not accountable to the Commander-in-Chief of the town , unknown to our Constitution , un-Saxon and un-English , repug . nant alike to the Bill of Rights , the lights of man , and social happioees of Englishmen , were iairoduted into Birmingham , and who immediately , and without the slightest notice , commenced an Indiscriminate massacre . " A protest against their being continued here is Being numerously signwh :

      There have beea only two prisoner * brought in during last night , and the "Rifle Guard has been removed from the Publio Office .
