      The Chairman then asied , " All you that consider Mr . Hardy , a fit and proper person to represent Bradford , held up-your hands . " A « in not a solitary hami ¦ n-23 shown . Shouts of derisive laughter burst from the multitude , as the fate of Whig and Tory vras shown in the non-suprort of the people .

Meeting of Cobdenites at Mascilfsteb . —Their i JfctUTUL Thkauisst op *» as - € uM'ijif ! . —On" ^ Ved- ' nesday last , an immense public meeiing took plane in Stevenson ' s-square , Manchester , convened by the i Mayor , for the purpose of gvviug eneours ^ iment of the anti-Corn Law moveaent . Oa the previous day , Mr . Daniel U'Connell addressed the " pisantrv , " j at Carpenter ' s Hall , in favour of a repeal of the Union , and having wound up their feelings to the ¦ highest pit-ch , he commenced an iiiflammatorY i

      r . aransjue , cy eshgrtin * them to support the League on the following day . even at the sacrifice of the agriculture' of " ouid Ireland , " and hinting a desire that they w ' culd not ab .-olutely hurt their opponents , the Chartists , but give them someihint ; they would not easiiy forget . He evemmaliy "slunk" from the post of danger , by quitting the town . The conse'i ' - . ence was , that the Irish Repealers assembled in < rca : numbers to support the Corn Law Repealers , tads beiut ; prov . ded w \ ih a bludgeon . A vast number of the factory hands were then led up to the assistance of tLe Coldenite .-, hav . n . i ; been promised Js . per head if the Lorn Law Repealers succeeded in GiK-numleriHg the Chartists . ' 1 ' he provocaiion , together MithtLe ; iiti-xicatiu ^ drinks that were ? uppjied , had the tenJeucy of disturbing ratlicr

      than preserviDg the p- _ ace . Oa the arrival of the proe-essiou of the , opposing party , ( . the CnaTtists . ) with the ins'gnia of thoir politicdl principles , the two factions of repealers drove them back , and destroyed socie of their flags . In a kw minutes , ' however , the Chartists had reinforced their numbers considerably , and again picssiug forwards , succeeded in presenting themselves at the meeting . The numbers at th : > time m r . ttendance are Tar : oi : s ' iY estimated at from lo to lo . UUJ persons . The leaders oi the anti-repealers now found that the hustings which they hai erected at their own Shaw ' s phad been taken possession of by Sir Chas . con ^ pqur-oiice-ibrce , nor would they give way .

Sleigh , of the London Agricultural Association , was also preseni , wi : h the intention of replying to the arguments of the anti-Corn Law party . Mr . Richard C > bJ .. n took the c . ' iair ; and although in opening the meeting he talked about " a . fair and impartial hearing' '— " deliberate discussion , " < k . c , yet , after theSrst aati-Coru Law motion had beeu proposed and seconded , he declined to allow Mr . Jonathan Bairstow to move any amendment . Mr . Bairstsw a : ; d others : henbeggt . u the chairman wouJd ascer : ain ihe sense of the meeting upon the

      point ; and ar . hough Mr . Bairstow had the authority of a large majority of the people in favour cf his speaking , the " liberal" and u iinpan ai " Chairman would not allow him to proceed . Tr . 15 , of course , gave rise to an egression of disgust and opposition . Dr . Sleigh in vain desired to say a few w ^ rds ; bui he was absolutely li . rust from the hustings auiiJs : the cheers of the brawlers for fair Pia _ v . The poi . ce-force , who had doubtless received their orders as to how they should proceed , at particular junctures , now -attacked with their bludgeons evcry person who appeared in the character of an opponent to the vo ; c-.- of Mr .

Upwards of twenty sis are now in the Infirmary ; aid one mac , we have just learned , is dead from the wou- _ ds he- received a ; tuis meeiing . By such cmr . s the opposition was at length silenced , aiiJ thereupon the chairman declared the

      object of the meeting to be carried . Not a single ami-repealer was allowed to Bpeak ; and it will be a comforrabie consolation to the party who got up the meeting , if they can say that the disturbances at this meeting were not on their parts premeditated . A gre 3 t many persons from this town joined the meeting , pro and con ; aud some of the latter came in for their , share of the outrage . It is somewhat remarkable that , with one exception , all those who were ii ' l-treated at this meeting , are opposed to a repeal of- the- cora-la-vs—the repealers having been distinguished with ribbons t : ed to the-. r button Lo : e ? . The same evening , a Urge meeting was held in the Castie Yard in th : § town , when Mr . Bairstow , and

      others , gave a frightful picture of the brutality which had been . ir . iTeted upon the people at Manchester , because of their opposition to such a repeal of the Corn Laws as Mr . Cobden would fain give the electors . , The language was strong and emphatic ; and Mr . Cobden wii unanimously denounced , and declared to bs wnrjii ' , v to represent Stockport in J'ar / iamenl , and the meeting thereupon pledged themselves 10 Use their best exertions to prevent his r . turn . Three of the leading members of Mr . Cobde . r . ' s committee—Sir Ralph Peiidlebury , Mr . Alderman Birker , ana Mr .

T P- Green in the chair . A dejjitation from t ^ o Cnristian Chartist Church , Newhfilstreet . » KendeJ ; they informed tho meetiug t&t the Christian Chartist Church had formed a co «« mittee for the purpose of returning a Charijjjtt candidate for Birmingham , and requested that t £ e National Charter Association would depute scra * $ f their body to act with them . Mr . White objeclltt

      to the request of the deputation , and said that t |» e Association were about calling a public meeting fh order to choose a committee of non-electors far tfte purpose of choo = ing Chartist candidates , and otherwise conducting the affairs of the Chartftts at $ * e next election . Mr . Chiswell , one of the deputatwi . replied that the committee , which had sent him , hw determined to select candidates that evening , that they had plenty of money to go to the poll , whereas the working men had not ; he therefore thought they ought to send a few from their body . Mr . White answered that the men who formed the

      commii tee were acting the samo as VV higs and ToneSj that they had not been chosen by a public meeting- ^ - that , in fact , the puolic kuew nothing of their pr » ceeaings , which wa-s decidedly a hole and-petng affair . He was determined that the Qwrtists _ p Birmingham should have a fair opportunity Un eltotiug their mtu conrmittee and choosing their own candidates . He considered the proposition to be an insult to the Chartist Association , and should move thai the application bj rejected . The motion was seconded by Mr . Bariow , and carried unauimoiisly .

      General Elfctio . v—Thn Chartists of Birmingham have cfetermiued to act their pare at the forthcoming elections . A preliminary meeting was held at the Chartist-room , Freeman-street , on Monday evening , to consider the steps that should be taken by the Associated Chartists on this iwporant occasion . Mr . Thompson , of Hurst-street , was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . George White to address the meeting , who prjceeded at some length to describe the important uutits that devolved upon the Chartists at the forthcoming elections . He recornmeiicieu to tlie meeting the propriety of holding an open air meeting on the following Monday , for the purpose of electing thirty persons to act as a : ; . in-ekctors' committee . He suggested the

      pvopiit-ty 01 apponui / ig forty-eight canvassers w 1 kj should visit the electors , and request tlVir votes : for iwo Chartist candidates , and that if two could be found who were well known advocates and supporters of the People ' s Ci ; ur ; er , they should receive the .-upport of the Cnartist body ; i ; not , they ought to start- two working men , an-. take the show of hands at the nomination . IIj said tha : -. j . o :-irae had arrive ] when it would be proved whether Englishmen were aeiermined to have tlieir rights and whinner they were prepared to rt .- ' s ; the usurpation of the tc ::-,. ounders . He consid ^ r- 'd that they should test public •/ pinio . i on the present occa-> ieu , and prove to the u-uvpers of their rights thai they were not the people's represe t . ttive- > . He proceeded to explain the enormous extent to which the people were plundered bv the parties who called

      themselves the people ' s representatives , and concluded by hoping the men utid women of Birmingham would set an example 10 the rest of the country . The proposition was warmly received , and a siibseriition entered into with spirit , for the purpose of di _ fra \ iug the txpencts of the meeting . Two hundred bills have been ordered , and there i . ~ little doubt that the gathering will be- nuuieious . It was the iu . ention of the parties appointed to arrauge for the meeting , that it should be held ai Hoiloway Head ; but for some reasons unknown , that part which used to be appropriated for the holding of meetings has been oug up , and the remainder is in a state of cultivation . It was , therelore , determimd that the meeting should take place on the open piece of ground near the railway station , Diiddeston-row , on Monday evening next , at five o'clock .

      WARRINGTON . —We are doing exceedingly well here ; our numbers increase every week . A bpirit of inquiry has taken place since Mr . Leech s lecture , ami we anticipate the most pleasing results in this hitherto Tory-ridden town . At our general nieetiDg , on Sunday night last , we had a numerous and respectable attendance ; and , after the business of the . society was concluded , the Convention address was read , and we entered on a very interesting ami animated discussion on the Corn Laws , in which Messrs . Hvughtun , Webster , Croly , Lo » re , Birton , &t \ , took a part , which ended to the general satisfaction of the meeting , that it would be useless and utterly incompatible with our present position to agitate for anything short of the Charter . We have a very good room here to meet in , and every

      week shows that our society approxiaiates nearer to a more uniform and organized system . We hold three meetings a week , Sunday , Monday , and Wednesday . Wo purpose , on Friday , June lbMi , to hold a teaparty , in our room , in consequeuca of Newton races taking place that week , which causes a holiday in this town . It is to be a Chartist convivial tea-party We are making excellent arrangements for it , and we anticipate that it will have a undency to much good , by keeping the members of our society in the paths of sobriety , and the full and perfect enjoyment of that holiday which the races causes iu this town . The tickets for tea will be one shilling , and all who purchase tickets will be entitled to admittance to our entertainments in the evening .

      BRIGHTON . —WHITSUN HOLIDAYS . —On Whitmonday , the Chartists of Brighton held a public tea party , a thort distance from the town , at a place called East Americi , the profits of the tea party to be devoted to the fund for establishing a nowspaper , to enable that n * ible of nature , Bronterre 0 Brien , to express his thoughts freely to his suffering countrymen . Many of the Chartists brought their wives and families with them , it being a fine day , and th * holiday being kept in a most delightful spot , in full view of the tea . Happiness was the order of the day . Many of the men amused themselves with games of manly exorcise , while others , with their wives and daughters , enjoyed a cheerful dance on the green , keeping time to the band of music provided for the occasion . After the tea drinking was over , amusement recemme « ced , until it was announced that Dr . M'Dou&ll was coming over the

      Downs with a party of friends , wh « had stayed in Brighton to receive him . The Doctor , having taken tea , addressed the meeting at some length , after which the whole party returned home to Brighton in a body , and spent the evening pleasantly . On Tuesday evening , the Doctor delivered a lecture in tha Town Hall , which was numerously and respectably attended . The following is a mere outline of bis lecture , which » ccupied full two hours in tho delivery . At half-past seven , Mr . John Good was unanimously called to the chair , and , in a few brief sentences , introduced the worthy Dootor , who commenced by saying that the Peoples Charter was intended to improve and exalt the condition of the working classes , as well as to secure those commercial advantages to this country without which we must dwindle down so as to fall below the weakest of our enemies .
