Tbi 3 lecture was cot so well attended as we could wish , but the non-attendance arose from two causes ; fiist , the people were not " aware of Mr .

H » I > G 5 ON" moved the secorid resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Bckbows . and supported by i 3 r . Tattebsall , a young man from Culne , who , in an argumentative style , laid bars the rottenness of the present system , and proved to tbe congregated thon-Bands that persecution and pro * ecution bad never accomplished tiie desired effect , but was like seed ¦ own on fruitful soil .

      It -was then moved and seconded that the admirable memorial , drawn up by the Restoration Committee of Birmingham , should be adopted .

Mr . TaTTEBSall exhorted tiie females U > enlist nn- der the Chartist banner . He clearly proved the fal- lacy of what is said by these who are interested in the perpetuation of the present ab # minable system of peculation and plnnder , that women ought not to have ¦ anything to do with politics ; he trusted tbat finch of them as wexe mothers , or might be , would educate ¦ their chil' ^ rvn in the principles of universal liberty , ¦ and the d » y would not be far distant when we should ¦ bave a nation of freemen , and " sing with truth " Britons never shall be slaves . " j The evening was spent in a most agreeable manner . ' A . full quadrille and two other bands were engaged for the occasion , and all went off harmoniously . <

      ! - ' " . ¦ :., ¦ ¦ ' . ' ¦ = WEEDS . —The Leeds Total Abstinence Char ter Association . —This excellent society held its first annual tea part ; on Friday evening , the 1 st of January , 1841 , in the School Room , 82 , High-street The room was tastefully decorated with ever ^ .-eens , and the portraits ef most oi our highly esteemed patriots ; that of Frost , and the splendid full-length portrait of O'Connor being conspicuously placed at each end . The party was rather a numerous one ; but particularly for Leeds , and considering that Chartism is now dead . Several guests who bad been invited were unavoidably absent . The meeting y > & » , however , unexpectedly complimented by tbe presence of two staunch friends from WafcefleM .

      After the cloth was drawn , Mr . Isaac Wilson was called to tbe chair , and optned the business of the meeting in his usual shrewd and happy style . He said this was something new in the annals of Chartism , and particularly in those of Teetotalism . He referred to the large amount ef good which had arisen from the efforts of the Association since its commencementcongratulated the meeting en its opening prospects of future usefulness , and bade them fight manfully the battle of the Lord , by seeking the destruction of all political error and oppression . The following resolution was tben moved by Mr . Wm . Rideb : — ' That this meeting , being convinced that the manifold evils endured by the productive classes of this country bave their origin in the existing system of misgovernment , therefore , resolve never to relax our efforts until the Charter becomes the law of the land . "

      Mr . Ridee , in the straightforward and perspicuous manner , so peculiarly his own , detailed many of tbe evils under which the people groaned—affirmed there was no " Constitution , " but , as the resolution justly stated , nothing but " misgovernment" * and despotism ruled the land . The only remedy he knew was the Charter ; it was tiseless to heed the pitying wail of the crotchet-mongers—the Charter is tbe only safe refuge from misrule and tyranny . Mr . Joseph Parker then came forward to seeond the resolution , and , in doing so , expr < jssed great

      pitasure . He gave tbe Whigs and parsons a lesson that might have done them good , had they heard him : he appeared in his best cue ; and proceeded , amid frequent outburst of cheers , to entertain the audience with the detail of a few specimens of double-distilled Whig knavery , rejoicing in the sober teetotal stand his brethren were making for the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less . The resolution was then put and carried , with cheers ; after which , a song was called for , and sung by the meeting , called " Whiggery ' s fallen , " from Hick's Collection . Mr . W . Hick , then moved the second resolution . —

      " That this meeting considers the sentences pronounced upon Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jones as an act oi cruelty and injustice on the part of our oppressors , and one which renders the present Government unworthy of tbe leait confidence or support . " Mr . H . showed , to the great satisfaction of tbe meeiing , that our expatriated friends were neither banished by the laws , judges , or the Queen , but solely to gratify the pitiful revenge of Lord John Kussell ; tbat the people alone can bring them back to the bosom of their families and friends : this must be done ! The thunder of the people ' s demand must roll from centre to circumference . The lion once roused will be clothed in terror cot to be resisted ; and they shall return to cheer the hearts of the nation , " bringing their sheaves ¦ with them . " Mr . Oldhotd , in a neat speech , that waa evidently from tbfc heart , seconded the resolution . Mr . Templer moved the . third resolution : —

      " That petitions be prepared and signed fey twenties , te be presented to Parliament early in the ensuing session , praying for the immed'ate and . unconditional liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones . " Mr . T . observed that this course ought to be pursued throughout the length and breadth of the land : never to let the subject rest but either by carrying a conviction of its justice , or , by an everlasting annoyance cowpel them to liberate our friends . He , like a true Chartist , would be found at his post . Seconded by Mr . J . M'Cabtht . Tbe health of oar beloved friend , Feargug O'Connor , Esq ., and the sptedy liberation of all iot-arceMted Char tists , was profxwed amidst the beany cheers of all present ; and , also , a vote of tbanVs to the Edilor of tbe Northern Star , for tbe very able manner in which he has advocated the people s cause Proposed by Mr . Gallalgher , and seconded by Mr . Turner .

      After the meeting had expressed themselves highly delighted , and under infinite obligation to tbe ladies who provided the entertainment , and voted thanks to the Chairrovn , one of the most Belf-satisficd patties that evtr met broke up , giving three cheen , and one cheer more , for Frost . Williams , and Jones , on whose acccmnt most of the company wore mourning rosetU ? and crape . Pcbuc "Meeting . —The very seat of Whijr ^ ery , and emporium of the Foxes , in which their Uat .-e

      are stored , has made its voice heaTd on this occasion , as oj many former ODea . A spirited aDd energetic meetisg was held on Tuesday evening , the Rev . W . Hi ]] in the chair , whea resolutious , fevxnpa . bisiu ^ with their victimized bretbrea , and pied ^ uij ; the people to unceasiDgactivity on their own bebaH , were Tmrvunnoui'iy adopted . The Birmingham memorial was also adopted . The meetvDg waa addressed , in glowiDg and patriotic speeches , by the Chai * iraT > , aud by Messrs .

      Female Meeilsg . —The female Chartists of this town took tea together on New Year ' s Eve ; after which , son ^ s were sung and dancing kept ud with great spirit till the hour of departure . Various toast 3 and sentiments were given and responded to . The sum of Us . 6 J ., beiDg the profits arising from the tea , was appropriated to Mrs .

      suo' i scriptions . I SA 2 TLS 7 S—A public meeting took place here at the Gotten Lion Inn , ilr . G . B . Mart being voted to 1 the chair , proceeded to explain the objects of tbe | meeting to a crowded assembly of " blistered kands . " j He addressed the audience as fellow-slaves , and observed i ibat he could not with propriety address them in any \ other language until they had done all they could to ' obtain their rights . ! Mr . JosErH Capper called upon the workingclns . Kes ! to do their duty . Ciass-legislation was the sole cause 1 of all our grievances , anl Mr . Frost and his cc-patriots ; had used s . 1 ; their influence for its destruction ; for ' . daxiug to speak the truth , the Whig Government \ xaA ' pat these noble-minded men in the degraded position | of felons . After a speech replete with sound and manly argument , he moved tbe first resolution : — '; " That a memorial be presented to her Majesty on : behalf of M <^ srs . Frost , Williams , and Jones . "

      Mr . Preist setonddd the Tesomtion . He said although he had been rather a stranger amongst them , he bad bten Witching their movements in the cause of 1 right against might . The objects of this meeting , ! observed Mr . Priest , were for all parties , Chartist , i Whig , or Tory to assist in , for the Werd of God com-; manded that we should love mercy and do justly . \ After going through the different movements of Whig ' policy , snch as the inhuman and anti-Christian Poor 1 , and the system of csntralised power , and ' pressiDg upon the men of the Potteries to work out tbe ' . redemption of these men , he sat down amidst loud \ cbeers . : The resolution being put to the vote , was carried ] unanimously . i Mr . Moses Simpson moved the second resolution : —

      5 ( ; < I ; , , i i " That this meeting approves of the recommendation named in the Star of the 26 th instant , as the most efficient means of gaining access to her Majesty , and producing the effect desired ; and tbat the memorial be given to the cs . re of the Birmingham Committee . " The working men , he contended , were the likeliest to do their own work , and to feel more sympathy for those of their own order than any class above them . For this reason he should support the resolution . The conviction of Mr . Frost and his fellow-patriots were obtained more from prejudice than law , and just at a time when the country had not a full knowledge of all the circamstance 8 of the case . The " Special

      Com-; ¦ ; ; mission , " he said , was contrary to the Bill of Kighta and Maffna Ckaria . ( Htar , hear . ) After reading an antnentic account of Mr . Frost ' s life , which represented that individual as an amiable father , a good husband , and a true friend of the working classes , h « advised the working classes to use their utmost exertiocs to recal these true patriots . The Queen , he said , had tbe prerogative to pardon or to mitigate punishment ; but he doubted the tyrants in power would put a stop to her sympathy . He Bhou ' d tell the warking men to put themselves in such a position as should compel the absolute tyrants to allow her Majesty to exercise her prerogative of mercy .

      Mr . Hamlet HenshaLL , in seconding the resolution , said these men were transported for exerting themselves to get every man represented ; for this they w ^ re Bent across the briny ocean , to be tortured to death as other patriots before them . John Bull , he said , was a very patient being in his sickness , and thought he had lost the blood of bis noble ancestors The Wh < g quacks , he said , would give bim a sticking piaster , wh'le the real Chartist would probe the wound to its depths , and effect a radical cure . The English , he said , were importing German blood to mix with ours to produce a better race of noble paupers ; he thought this was already effected ; and John Ball would again bave to suck bis thumb to fill his belly . The second resolution was carried without a

      dissentient Mr . Oldbam moved the third resolution . — " That this meeting pledges itsslf to co-operate with the Birmingham Committee in securing the return of these patriots . " * The object in transporting these brave me * was , tald the speaker , to get rid of the friends of tbe people , that they might glut themselves with wealth at tbe working man ' s expenee . Mt . Wk . Timhis seconded it by saying that he shonld caution them z » ot to believe the reports circulated by the Whig papers , that Mr . Frost was treated thia or that way , as they did all they coald to blind the country . Carried unanimously . Mr . Chas . Hack . net moved , and Mr . Bbvving-TOR seconded : — " That a report be Bent to tbe Norther * Star . "

Chapman , of Naihworth , stating b'S reasons for not attending , and enclosing a table of d ' . et , which he ( J . Chapman ) bad been presented with from an inmate of Lord John Russell ' s mansion , which called forth the groans and hisses of the meeting . Three cheers were then given for Feargus O'CoDiior , three for Henry Vincent , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three groans for those villains who have Bworn away the lioerties of their countrymen .

      NOTTINGHAM . —On Monday last , the meeting to memorialise the Queen for the pardon of Frost , Williams , and Jones , was held . Mr . Cbas . Roberts was unanimously ca'led to the chair ;( who considered it the duty of every man to use every means which lay in his power to brine back to their country the exiled patriots , Frost , Williams , and Jones . Mr . Roberts thought it was unnecessary for h ' m to address them at any length , as the d * y was stormy ; he would , therefore , read the bill calling the meeting . —Mr . Mason , the Chartist missionary , proposed the first resolution . He said , Frost had agitated for the benefit of the working classes ; he had no cause to agitate but for their benefit ; he could sit down upou his sofa in comfort ,

      enjofiug the smiles of his wife and family ; he haa aneait that could feel for the working classes ; he went to the Convention to benefit them ; not only the working class , but also the middle classes would be better off under the government Frost sought to establish . Frost , Williams , and Jones were the victims of Lord Normanby . Tneyiadjua intention of overthrowing the'Government of this country ; they had no idea of committing the crime of High Treason ; the crime they committed d < d not amount to High Treason ; it was proved that there were not arms sufficient to stand against any body of men ; therefore it was impossible that they could have any intention of overthrowing the throne ; the Judges were of this opinion . There was not

      sufficient reason to try Frost , Williams , and Jones for High Treason . They were taken from their cells in the dead hour of night , and sent on board a convict ship , and hurried into exile by the Government , regardless of all the forms of law . We do not wish to oppose the law , but we have a right to take care tbat the law is properly respected . He hoped that the Queen would take into her most serious consideration tbe case of the exiled patriots ; and when she lies on her death-bed , she will have the consolation that the best act of her life had been their restoration to liberty . He proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Jonathan Barber : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that Frost , Williams , and Jones were illegally tried , inasmuch as the forms prescribed by

      the Acts of Parliament relating to high treason had not been complied with , and , therefore , illegally convicted ; and this meeting pledges itself not to cease agitating till Frost , Williams , and Jones are restored to tbeir country and their families . " Mr . Sweet proposed , and Mr . Every seconded , the memorial , which waa carried , every band being held up . The resolution recommended in the Star , that Lovett , Morgan , Williams , and Moir be appointed to present the memorial to the Queen , was unanimously adopted . Three cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , three for O'Connor and the Northern Star , and three for the imprisoned patriots . The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Chairman ; after which th « meeting quietly dispersed . .
