      SHEFFIELD . ( From our own Correspondent . J Sondat Evenikg LwJturb . —Mr . Barker lectured in the Associa tion Room ; Fig-tree Lane , on Sunday evening last , subject—The evils of a House of Lords . " The lecturer well handled his subject , exhibiting the past and present crimes of the aristocracy , the infamy of the law of primogeniture , and the absurdity of voting by proxy . The thanks of the meeting wen awarded to Mr , Barker for his able lecture .

      Public Moenss . —The weekly public meeting of the Sheffield Chartists was held on Monday evening list , in the larjje room , Fig-tree Lane . Mr . Stokes was called to the chair . Mr . Julian Harney , in a lengthy address , moved the adoption of a memorial to the Queen in behalf of the Welsh victims . Mr . Needham seconded the adoption of the memorial , which was carried unanimously . It was then resolved that the memorial , signed by the Chairman in the name of the meeting , should be sent to the Home Secretary for presentation , to the Qneea .

      Trades Mketikgs . —An overflowing meeting of the pen-knife grinders was held on Thursday evening , Dec . 2 nd , at the Rawson ' s Arms , Tenter-street . One © f the body was called to the chair . Mr , Rogers , of the firm of Joseph Rogers and Sons , Norfolk-street , Cutlers lo the Qaeen , was present , as also Dr . Holland . Dr . Holland addressed the meeting at great length , entering folly into the free trade question , showing np the fallacies of the cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do" gentry in a manner convincing to all present . He showed that the present degraded condition of the working dasa was to be mainly attributed to the gambling avarice of unprincipled manufacturers , who haa glutted the markets of the world with the most spurious of rubbish under the name of cutlery—thus

      destroying the trade , and bringing disgrace upon the very name of Sheffield . In proof thereof , Dr . Holland produced certain knives , bearing the name of Rogers , manufactured by some unprincipled scoundrels , who made use of the name of the above respectable and honourable firm , vhe said knives being the most contemptible rubbish ever attempted to be imposed upon a buyer—compared with which Peter Pindar ' s razors , " made to Bell , " were ¦ virgin steel indeed ! At the conclusion of bis address , Dr . Holland said he should be happy to answer any question that might be put to him . One of the operatives asked Dr .

      Holland if he did not think it would be well to petition Parliament for a Charter of incorporation for the cutlers , similar to what the cutlers of Sheffield formerly had I Dr . Holland said lie considered sneh petitioaings wonJd be a waste of labour ; the present House of Commons was composed of men who were interested in destroying the oJd Charter , sot giving now ones to the working men . It vr » s aseless to look to the Parliament for Teller , they must look to themseves—they must remember the fable of Hercules and the waggoner , and put their own shoulders to the wheel to help themselves out of the mire of their oira difficulties . He did not

      approve of trade ' s unions , where they could possibly be dispensed with ; but , the employers having trampled upon the rights of their workmen , the workmen were justified , nay , it was their duty to unite with each other for the protection of their labour . Mr . Rogers spoke in confirmation of the ¦ views and statements of Dr . Holland . Mr . Thom& 3 Croestand moved the thanks of the meeting to Dr . Holland and Mr . Rogers , for their attendance tha ^ evening . The mover warmly eulogised the Messrs Rogers , in whose employ be had formerly been , as gentlemen , who never failed to do justice to their workmen . The motion was seconded by Mr . Luke Firth , and carried unanimously . The meeting then adjourned .

      Table Knub Haftsrs . —A meeting of this branch of the cutlery trade was held on Monday last , at two o'clock , in Mount Tabor Chapel . The meeting was very numerous , and as such afforded us a hope that the trades of Sheffield are arousing themselves to a sense of their importance as wealth-producers , and the necessity of union amongst themselves to withstand the further encroachments of grinding oppressien . Mr . . Luke Chapman was called to the chair , and well performed the duties of his office . The following are the resolutions agreed to unanimously : — That it is the imperative duty of every member of the trade to promote and extend union among his fellow workmen , and thereby promote his own interest , and the interest of his

      fellow men . " " That the committee sit every Tuesday evening , from six to eight o ' clock , at- the Rawson ' s Arms , Tenter-street , to receive the contributions of the trade . " w That the printed rules of the trade be acted upon , and abided by . " " That this meeting deeply regret the present system of competition between the . employers , and protest against it as being injurious to the interests of both employers and workmen , and resolve that energetic measures shall be adopted to counteract the evil effects of bo baneful a system . " " That a general meeting of the trade beheld the first Monday in every month , at the hour of two o ' clock , in their present place of - meeting , Mount Tabor Chapel . ' ' Our limits will not permit us to gyre the speeches

      delivered , but it is only justice we should state , that but one feeling seemed to actuate all present , viz ., a desire to unite with all the honest and honourable of their employers to put an end to that system of imposing inferior and spurious -articles upon the home and foreign buyer , to the injury of the honest manufacturer , and the ruin of the trade at large . "Well will it be if the employers will meet the workmen in the same honest spirit . Upon the manufacturers now rest the responsibility of union and restored prosperity , er selfish disunion and general ruin . One fact we may mention in conclusion , the eordial reception our reporter met with shews that our principles are known and admired , and we trust the day is noi far distant when the trades of Sheffield will rally round the banner of our cause .

      Strike of the Loxdox Masojts . —Meeting op Trades' Delegates . —A meeting of delegates from the different trades of Sheffield was held on Monday evening last , at the Grey Horse , High-street , called to consider the ease of the London masons , lately employed at the New Houses of Parliament , and now on strike in consequence of the system of tyranny pursued towards them by Allen . We understand that delegates from the various trades were present . Masons , bricklayers , painters , . Britannia-metalsmiths , saw-makere , bri ckmakers , wood-sawyers , tailors , table-knife-bafters , file-trade , and scalemakers ; Mr . Thomas Peatfogg , mason , was called to the chair . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : — "That the censure of

      this meeting is hereby passed npon George Allen , foreman to Messrs . Grissell and Peto , for bis disgusting , inhuman , and despotic conduct towards the masons lately employed at the new Houses of Parliament . " " That the delegates consider the London masons to have been every way justifiable in their strike against the hateful tyranny to which they were subjected . " " That the delegates present pledge themselves in behalf of their respective trades , to give every support in their power to the strike , bo long as it continues—and will use all tLe influence they possess to induce other trades not represented at this meeting to give them support

      also . ' " That the Masons' Committee be empowered to sit « Tery Wednesday ereniug , from seven to ten o ' clock , to receiTe the trades' con £ ribntions in support of the Ftrike . " " That , in the event of the strike continuing until the 1 st of January , 1842 , the Masons' Committee be empowered to call another general meeting of Trades' Delegates to consider what furiber measures shall be adopted in support of the strike . " In accordance with the foanhVeso-Intion , the Mason ' s Committee will sit ererj Wednesday eveniin ; , from seTen to ten o ' clock , at the Grey Horse , High-street , to receive contributions in support of the turnouts .

      Thb McBDKaoF Mast Nall , bt heh Husband , in Sheffield . —Nothing has transpired since our last , relative to this horrid affair , which does not corroborate what we then Ft&ted . An inquest was held on the afternooa of Tuesday week , ai the Bee Hive , in Glossop Road , and by adjournment , on Thursday , at lae Tovrn-hall , npon the body of the unfortunate victim , before Thos . Badger , Esq ., and a respectable jury . Evidence at Borne lcugth was gone into , and the Jury , after the Coroner had addressed then ? , deliberated but a short time , and then returned a verdict of " Wilfnl Murder against Robert Nail , " upon which he was committed for trial .

      TicK . HitL .-MA 5 Missikg . —The inhabitants of Tiekhill have been thrown into a state of excitement for the last few days , by the sudden disappearance of Mr . Junes Watson , hair-dresser . It appears that he spent Sunday evening week at an inn , in the neighboHrhood , where he made too free with the liquor . When labouring under intoxication , he is subject to fits of insanity , of which it is supposed he was attacked at the time of his disappearance . All the plantations , rivers , fields , and outhouses in the neighbourhood , for miles round , have been searched , but not the least due whatever can be obtained , as to the fate of the unfortunate individual .

      GREAT MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL . On Monday , the Town-Hall of Hull was , for the first time , occupied by and appropriated to the business of its rightful owners , the people . A requisition , Bigned by nearly two hundred inhabitants , of whom upwards of seventy were voters , haviug been forwarded to the Mayor , requesting him to call a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , to coneider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kingdoms in the Commons ' House of Parliament , with a view to its amendment , the Mayor convened a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , for Monday , to by holdeu ia the Town-Hal ] , at one in the afternoon .

      It had been represented to his Worship that this was a most inconveaie&s hour for the people , thai groat numbers who felt strongly interested in the icaners of consideration to be brought before the meeting , would be , cf necessity , excluded by this arrangement j but he refuged to giro the use of the hall for an evening meeting , and exacted from the deputation of reaaisitors who waited npon him , a

      Untitled Article

      pledge that the proceedings of the meeting should not be continued after dusk . Notwithstanding , however , this disadvantage , even the Morning Chronicle is compelled to admit that the hall was densely crowded . It was , indeed , densely crowded , and no mistake ; and would have been so had it been capable of accommodating a much greater number . A committee of the requisitors met in the Grand Jury Room , and the doors of the hall were thrown open to the public at half-past twelve . About one oclock , Mr . Padget , a working man , proposed that in the absence of the Mayor , the veteran Radical , Mr . John Jackson , should take the chair . This proposal being seconded , was carried unanimously . The Chairman regretted that the absence of the

      Chief Magistrate , by whom the meeting had been called , should have furnished the present opportunity to bia fellow townsmen of testifying towards him their good opinion . It would certainly have pleased him better to have seen the chair in other occupancy , but since they had thought proper to call him to the office , he would dischargeitsdutiesin the best manner of which he was capable J and he hoped bo should hare the support and kindly consideration of the meeting in the office to which they bad called him . ( Cheers . ) He held the first duty of a chairman to be impartiality—( hear , hear)—and he trusted that they would not find him deficient in that necessary qualfication . He hoped that all speakers would he beard patiently , and that the matters of discussion to be

      brought before them—matters in whioh the interests of the whole nation were involved—would be seriously considered , and diBpasiouately treated . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He would not further detain them from the business of the meeting , but would introduce to them Mr . John Peck , who had been appointed to move a resolution . Mb , Pjeck was received with loud cheers . He congratulated himself , the Chairman , and his brother Chartists , upon having come , for the first time , into possession of their own Hall . ( Cheers . ) It happened usually , and had always happened hitherto , that buildings such as that in which they were now assembled , and whioh were raised , supported , and upholden by the people , vfere occupied

      for the use and servioe of all parties but the people ( Hear , hear . ) The working people had stronger claimB upon the use of that Hall than any other party , bat till now their claims had been always disregarded—( hear , hear , )—and even now , the ri ^ ht they were exercising to meet in their own Hall , was accompanied with what he could not understand otherwise than as something very nearly approaching to a contumelious slight . ( Hear , hear . ) That was the first time in the course of his experience , in whioh a meeting called by the Mayor had Hot been opened by that functionary , and he thought that this ciroumstance required some better explanation than had been yet given of it . He was quite willing to admit that the Mayor might have

      many engagemenie . and he believed the meeting could not have desired to inflict upon him any inconvenience ; but he did think that respectful courtesy to the party to whom he professed to belong , —that gratitude fer services past , rendered by ihose to whose exertions he and his fellow corporators owned their elevation , ought to have induced him not to forego ia this particulor instance the regular usage of the borough . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) _ If his avocations precluded him from continuing with them during the meeting , he might at least have come down and opened it . What might be his reason for this discourtesy it was not , of course , for him to say ; perhaps his Worship might have been affrighted by the caricatures of Chartist speakers drawn by the

      venal press of the factions , and might have feared the compromising of his character and dignity by some incautiouBor intemperate language ; he trusted , however , that if this were so , the result of the present meeting would convince him that his apprehensions had been needless and that , as they were now upon their good behaviour—( cheers and a laugh )—bound in some sort by the oiroumstances attending their occupation of that Hail , —every speaker who might be introduced to them would Bee the necessity of exercising prudence , and seleoting his words with caution , that they might bid effectual defiance to the spy brigade . He had been appointed to move two resolutions whioh he would now read to them : —

      •• Resolved , —1 st That it la the opinion of this meeting , that in consequence of tUe present corrupt and defective state of the representation of these Kingdoms in the Common ' s House of Parliament , and the entire feflure of the so-called Reform Bill , an organic change ia necessary , or the country will be involved in one common ruin : —2 nd ., That in the opinion of this meeting , it ia essential to the well-being of this realm , that the Commons House of Parliament be elected annually by the free votes of all male subjects twentyone years of age and upwards , without reference to rank or property either In the voters or members to be electad ~"

      The reading of the resolutions was followed by cries of ' * Hear , hear , " and applause . He was there to maintain the principles involved in those resolutions , and , in the terms of the requisition , to complain of the defective state of the representation of the people in the so-called Commons' House . There w « . re many points in whioh that representation was glaringly defective . ( Hear , hear . ) The first of these was in the fact that many of those who were nominally , were not really , represented ; because , for want of the protection of the Ballot , many persons who held the elective franchise wero unable to exercise it conscientiously , or in accordance with what they considered to be the interests of the country . ( Hear , hear , * and cheers . ) He

      complained of the representation being defective , because the present system conferred upon the representative an undue tenure of his office . He contended that the Parliament which passed the Septennial Act , had no right to do so—that it was a stretch of legislative power beyond its due limits , fully equal to that of the Long Parliament which prolonged its sittings in defiance of constitutional usage for the term of fourteen years . The people claimed that they should have Annual Parliaments for the squaring and settling up of their accounts with their representatives . A tradesman who should talk of settling accounts once in seven years would be accounted a disreputable shuffling fellow , and he knew not why the same epithets should not apply

      to Legislators . ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) The people complained also , of the defectiveness of the representative system , inasmuch as it made the test of fitness in » representative to be not merit or intelligence , but property . This was little else , in his estimation , but a bonus to the landed interest . It would be , in his opinion , equally as reasonable and just to require that a man should possess two ships as a qualification , as to require him to hold landed property to the amouut ot . £ 300 a-year . ( Cheers , and laughter ) He maintained that the people had a right to select their representatives from amongst the poorest and the humblest , if these were honest

      and intelligent , and that these were even more likely to be fit representatives , because more intimately and practically acquainted with the wants and feelings and interests of the people . ( Long-continued cheering . ) The people complained also that the present state of representation was defective , because of its unequal distribution of its electoral privileges ; numbers of small towns , possessing few inhabitants , and comparatively little importance in the country , had equally as many , and in some cases more representatives than other towns of vast magnitude , extensive population , and great influence . Of these several instances were named

      by the speaker amidst the cheers of the meeting . These were heavy matters of complaint against the present system of electoral representation , but there was one which very far outweighed them all , and to this crowning grievance he would now direct attention . They complained of non-representation—( great cheering)—they complained that the damning brand of slavery was imprinted on their brows—they complained that they were subject to laws in the enacting of whioh they had no voice or power—that they were taxed for the upholding of a system which they disapproved , and by the operation of which their interests were sacrificed , and they were there to tell their rulers in a voice of thunder , that they would bear these things no longer .

      ( Loud and long continued cheering . ) They were there to demand that the artisan should be no longer shut out from the pale of the constitution ;—( loud cheers ) j—that he should no longer be excluded from his fair share in the Government of that country whose wealth he created , and whose interests he was at all times called upon to deiend . ( Cheers . ) They were there to demand that the pledges of the middle and upper classes who obtained the power to vete by the assistance of the labouring classes , should be now redeemed by the extension of that same power of voting to the labourers . ( Loud cheers . ) Who carried the Reform Bill ? Not the aristocracy ; not the middle classes . The people earned the Reform Bill for the middle

      classes , and was it now to be said that the middle classes would not come forward to assist the working classes in carrying the Charter ! the only measure which could redeem the country from its distresses , and preserve the middle classes from the ruin which now secni 3 to await them . ( Hear . ) If any class were entitled to be represented it vr « g the poor ; representation was * due to them on the score of justice , for under the present system there was no justice for the working man . Let it not be said that the law was protection for him ; for while 11 , 00 * Acts of Parliament had been passed for the protection of the rich , he would defy any man to eay that one had been passed , for the

      protection of the poor . ( . Loud cries of " hear , hear . ") And why was this ! It was the effect of class legislation , by which all were represented except those who were by every principle of justice and reason the » ost entitled to it . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The working classes need the franchise to protect their own interests ' , and why should they not have it % ( Cheers . ) The speaker concluded by moving the resolutions . Mr . Samuel Healey , in seconding the resolution , said he did bo simpiy because he though t every man ought to have a voice in the making of those lawn by which be was to be governed . It was not right th . it Jack should have all the shot , and the officer * all the prize-money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Th ©

      speaker said the Whigs had sacrificed the interests of the country for their own . selfish purposes : they had confessed that the power was in the people , and they had been carried into power by the people , after promising what they would do for them in return ; and , after all , the only measure they had given them was the finality Reform Bill , by whioh the people were made worse off than they were before , and England , instead of being the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world , bad , under thoir rale , become a bye-word and a reproach . ( Hear , and cheers . ) After alluding to the distress existing in the country , Mr . Healey concluded by seconding the resolutions . Mr . WM . Webster supported the resolutions , in a

      short speech , which he concluded by exhorting the working men of Hull to keep from the publio houses , and avoid intoxicating drink , by which they would prove to their rulers that they were worthy of the franchise , and of every other privilege that could be conferred upon them . Mr . G , W . Bubns , also supported the resolutions , the entire principle of whioh he admitted , but in a long rambling speech took occasion to make some remarks on the conduct of some parties , whom he denominated Chartist leaders , without , however , naming any particular individual , to whom he alluded . He spoke amidst some interruption , and the evident impatience of the whole meeting .

      int . West , the late West-Riding lecturer , who was present , also addressed the meeting in support of the resolution , and in reply to some observations whioh had fallen from Mr . Burns . Mr . West spoke for nearly an hour , in the most effective manner , delighting , no ; only the working classes , but the middle classes also who were present , by whom he was listened to attentively and loudly cheered throughout . The principles of the Charter were never more clearly explained , and a powerful effect was produced on the minds of all present . An outline of his speech , garbled as it must necessarily be , would not convey to our readers its real worth , and to give it entire is beyond the limits of space at oar command .

      The resolutions were then put to the meeting by the Chairman , after having been read by the Town Clerk , and every hand in the crowded assembly was held up in ttfeir favour—not a dissentient voice wae heard . The Rev . Wiixiam Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , moved the second resolution , for the adoption of the petition . He read the National Petition at longth , and concluded by moving that it be the petition of the meeting . Mr . William Hobnsbt seconded the resolution , and after being supported in a few remarks by Mr . William Tate , the petition was unanimously carried amidst tremendous cheering . Mr Daniel Maloney moved , and Mr . Robert Lundt seconded , the next resolution , whioh was as follows : —

      " That this meeting pledges itself to an unceasing perseverance ia every species of lawful and peaceable agitation for the principles embodied in the People ' s Chatter until they be recognised as the law of the land . " The resolution was carried unanimously . The petition was ordered to be laid at the Town Hall and other convenient places , for the signatures of the inhabitants . This being the last resolution , the Chairman vacated the chair , which was taken by Mr . S . Healy , and , on the motion of Mr . Peck , seconded by the Rev . W . Hill , thanks were voted to Mr . Jaokson ( for his unwearied exertions in the cause of freedom , and his worthy conduct in the chair on that

      occasion . The motion was carried by acclamation . Mr . Jackson returned thanks ; and cheers having been given for the Charter , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the people , the meeting separated at a little after five o ' clock .

      SOIREE AND BALL . That no part of the day might be lost , and that opportunity might be afforded to those whose engagements had precluded their attendance at the Town Hall , to testify their abidance in the principles asserted there by the town ' s voice , arrangements had been made for a soiree and ball , at the Chartists ' -room , Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate , where a most pleasing and well-pleased company spent a delightful evening . We have no official statement of the numbers , but suppose that about 250 sat down to tea , which was of the best , and accompanied by an ample supply of all the etceteras requisite to elegance and comfort , got up by the activity and kindline&s of a Committee of Female

      Chartists , to whom no small credit is due for their share of the business . After a due discussion of the tea , toast , tarts , &c . the tables were " sided , '' and Mr . Hill having been called to the chair , reminded them that , in the midst of their rejoicings , they should remember always the Christian duties of patriotism and neighbourly love , tor the exhibition of whioh he was happy to find that the Committee appointed to conduct the day ' s proceedings , had afforded them an opportunity . It had been stated in the London newspapers that on the occasion of the baptism of the ttoyal Prince , the Queen would testify her sense of the recent manifestation of divine mercy on her behalf , by the extension of

      the royal pardon to such offenders as could be recommended to her for good conduct while enduring tho punishment of their respective crimes in the the dockyards or elsewhere . It had been thought that the people ought not to permit this opportunity to escape without bringing under her Majesty ' s notice the patriot convicts , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and a memorial had therefore been prepared whioh would be now , he believed , submitted to them for adoption , praying that her Majesty would iuolude those injured aud outraged patriots in the list of those who on this occasion might experience the royal favour . This auuouncoment was received with great

      cheering-Tho memorial was moved , seconded , and supported in short but appropriate speeches , by Messrs . Webster , Liindy , and Jones . This done , the Chairman vacated , the musicians asoeuded the platform , and healthful hilarity and peaceful merriment was the order of the day for the remainder of the night . The vocal amusements , under the excellent management of Mr . Webster , were divided into two parts , of which the following is a programme : —

      PART I . Song , " The Outlaw , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Tinker and ( hazier , " Mr . Webster . Song , " I remember , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Will Clewline , " By a btranger , Song , " Hall to the Tyrol . " Mr . Hodgson . PART II . Song , " The White Squall , " Mr . Hodgson . Song , Philadelphia Lawyer . " Mr . West Song , " Kathleen O'Meore , " most beautifully sung by a

      Lady . Recitation , " Mario Bozzaris , " Mr . Webster . Song , "Scarlett Flower , " Mr . Hodgson . The songs and recitations gave great satisfaction to the company , and were very heartily cheered , they were interspersed with a variety of dances , quadrilles , country dances , waltzes , &c , so as to please all the tastes and capabilities of the parties . The amusements were continued to a late hour , and the company separated , every oue very highly delighted . Thus ended what may justly and properly be termed a high day in Hull for Chartiam .

      MEMORIAL . The following is a copy of th « Memorial : — To the Queen ' s Most Excellent Majesty , The Memorial of the undersigned Inhabitants of Kingslon-upon-ffull , Humbly Sheweth , That your memorialists having heard with pleasure and delight that it is the purpose of your Majeety to signify your Royal sense of the preservation , by Divine Mercy , of your Majesty ' s life during that most critical of natural events which has given to your loyal Bubjects a Prince Royal , by extending your Royal olemenoy to such of the unhappy persons as , having been convicted of crimes , have behaved well in their unfortunate situations , would respectfully solicit your Majesty ' s attention to the fact , that John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones were , on the 17 th day of January , 1840 , oonvioted of high treason , at the Court House ,
