      BIRMINGHAM .

      DEMONSTRATION AND PROCESSION , OCCASIONED BY THE DEATH OF SAMUEL BOLBERRY . Kothing has so much tended to arouse the feelings and sympathies of the people of this town for the last year ^ as' the premature death of honest Holberry . As soon as the news of hi 3 death wa 3 received through Mr . G . J . Harney , on Thursday last , Mr . White immediately repaired to tie Councu

      mee ' . bjr , and laiu the circumstances before them , when ic \ Yi . 3 unanimously resolved that large bills should be posted , announcing the fact , aud calling a mefcth > i ;\ at Duddeiton-row , for tha purpose of memorialzin * the House of Commons , to institute an inquiry itto-the conduct of .-Sir James Graham with regard to tho death of Samuel Holberry , as i ; was uudcrsicod that the state of his health was made knows to her Majesty's Secretary of State iu sufii-jierii time to have enabled that functionary to have saved his life , if he thought proper .

      A large and comaioaious hustings was erected for the occasion , wiiich was surmounted by a black flag , painted by Mr . J . Barratt , on which was inscribed " Samuel Hoiberry , died at York Castle , on Tuesday , June 21 s :. Shall we have justice ?" And , notwithstanding the efforts of the police tD dfcfaca the bills , -which are admitted to be . the largest and most striking of any ever published by tha Chsrcists of Birmingham , the meeticg was a bumpsr . The bills were surrounded with a large black border , and upwards of two yards in length . At the time appointed an immense concourse of people were congregated together , and at a quarter past six o ' clock , Mr . Peter Henley was unanimously called to the chair . He was about addressing the meeting when a large flag , surmounted by a cap of liberty , was brought on the ground , which was immediately hoisted on the hustings .

      The Chairman then said—He felt that he need not call on them to keep order , as he found the Chartist body , on all occasions , preserve ordtr and regularity in all iheir transactions . And as to keeping the peace , he haptd that each man would consider himself aa a peace officer on the present occasion ( hear , hear . ) They would see by theplacards which had been posted , the immense responsibility attached t o the office which he held , and he therefore asked for their support in fulfilling its duties . They would perceive that they were met to take into consideration the conduct of one of the first officers of State . He would at once introduce Mr . John Mason , to UiOvetLe first resolution Qvud cheers- )

      Mr . Mason then pr . sented himself and was received with load cheers . He said—Working men of Birmingham , when he stood forward on the presen ; sccarion , to jcive his opinion regarding the death 0 : Samuel Holberry , he n : u -: t say that a more noble or ganerous man never lived , or a more sincere friend of democracy . Ke was a man worthy of the coble causa in which they were engaged , aud was an honour to humanity . Yet whn all his good qualities he fell a victim to the cruel i-ystem of misgovernment which existed in this cvuktry ; and waai befel him might equally happen to ev < . ry advocate of the people ' s right-, if some course was no ; adopied to abolish the power which c -. uiea it . Holberry ' s life was in the keepii . g of the

      Government , and it was their duty to hold comnmnicatien with the surgeon . 11 the Jaw meant to murder him , why not drag him to the scaffold , instead of killing him by glow degrees . It was time the working men looked to their condition , when they found their fellows liablo to be deprived of -life . When did they hear of a rich maa ieiug confined , or placed in a dungeon 1 Never ; they contrived all those things for the sole use of the worbng men —( hear , hear . ) The Solons of the House cf Commons said that poverty was the source of crime ; but he would add that bad Government was ins cause of poverty . He then went on to shew the cruelty experienced by the Chartist prisoners , instausiug the cases of Clayton , Duffy , Peddie , ana otfltrs ; and said that if . such was the course tiie Gcrerniceiit meant io pursue—if such was the

      treat-Sicut / uie Chartists were to receive—if they were to bo imprisoned , cut off from every source of comfort , and »; Iiiaiately murdered , it would £ uggc-, t to them the propriety of altering their mode of extending their Ti » avs , and instead of going on in the peaceful manner they had done , they would be forced xo try ether me&as—( icud chec-ring . ) They might call tkit sedition ; cut he wouM not give them any illegal advice . He would have them obey the law , and not destroy their cfcaace of getting fr&edom by any rash act . LIr . Slaeon then alluded to the cruelty of the prison regulations , in refusing Mrs . Hoiberry an ¦ interview with her husband , aad after . stating the situation in which he was placed with regard to the authorities of Staffordshire , and the trial which he was absnt to undergo , he concluded by moving the following resolution , and retired amidst load cheers ;—

      " That in the opinion & £ this meeting the death of Samuel Holberry , of Sheffield , who was tried at York Spring Assizes , and sentenced to four year » " imprisonmeni in NorthaUensn House of Correction , calls for investigation , as her Mfijtatj'a Secretatj of State was fully apprised of the state of his health previous to his death , and as tie i « the responsibl « officer between the people and the Crows , ire therefore demand an investigation into his eonduct , and hereby leaolre to present a memorial to the House cf Commons on the subject "

      Mr . Smith Lindon seconded the resolution and said that if ever there was a time when it was necessary . for the people to exert themEelves , it was the present ; and , if there was any feeling of justice or self-respect remaining amongst the working clssses , now was the time to exhibit it . The life of an individual vras taken for

      Untitled Article

      seeking that which God and nature intended all men to enjoy . Holberry ' s life bad been taken , although his sentence was imprisonment , and the crime of vfhieh he was convicted was that vague and undefinable one of " sedition . " What was sedition I If a few men met together , to converse on their private business , it was converted into sedition ; in fact , the worning men could not meet together on any subject , but the guilty consciences of the rich smote them , for they knew that the working men were ill treated . Mr . Lindon then proceeded at great length to draw a parallel between the treatment of great thieves , and those of a more diminutive class . and after briaging Holborry's case forward as a specimen of English justice , and comparing the

      sentence of Francis who Bhot at the Queen ' B carriage with that of men who were guilty of the most atrocious crimes , he concluded by seconding the resolution . Mr . T . S . Macintosh supported the resolution and was received with loud cheers . He addressed the meeting as friends and fellow men , and said it was at all times a painful thing to contempla t e the death of a fellow creature , even under ordinary circumstances , and when a man ' s life was taken for the commission of a crime , still they sympathised with the individual , and if such was their feelings on snch occasions , how much more should they feel for a noble-minded man , such as he understood Mr . Holberry to have been . He was a man who bad sacrificed every thing for the people ,

      and it appeared to him that his wish was to benefit his fellow creatures . But whilst he addressed them on the present melancholy subject he would at the same time endeavour to teach them something . Ho wished that hig voice was sufficiently strong to extend to tha utmost limits of that large meeting , whilst he endeavoured to shew them where the real power of the oppressor rested . They would remember that a man was about to be executed for the murder of Daly the policeman . Daly ' s widow would be provided for by the authorities ; the people might thus seo that the object of th ir rulers was , to give po"f er and confidence to their subordinates by providing for them in cases of emergency , not because they liked them or had any peculiar

      tenderness or good feeling towards them , for they despised them , but they knew them to be necessary for the purpose of upholding their unjust authority . He wcmld , therefore , impress upon them the necessity of taking a lesson from their enemies , for if they did not stand firmly by those who were victimised in their cause they would find it vanish like smoke . He came forward to support the resolution , because he felt that the death of Samuel Holberry was a disgrace to the country : and rhas it was the duty of every man to lift up his voice against such cruelty as that which led tohia death ; and although he was not connected with the Chartist body yet he sympathised with them , and cou'd call the death of Holberry nothing short of murder , although ho was not prepared to

      say whether it was wilful or uot . It was a cowaruly and illegal transaction , for as soon as the ' . surgeon certified the dangerous state of Holberry ' s health , he should have been immediately liberated . Mr . Macintosh then addressed himself to these who might be opposed to the Chartist principles , and warned them against trespassing too much upon their patience , as the might play too dangerous a game , which might lead to awful consequences . In cno sense , the death of poor Holbo . rry was nothing uncommon , for there had always been martyrs to every good cause ; and if the Government of this country were to sacrifice a number of those who were seeking justice , they would arouse the spirit of Eni ; iishaieu , and lead on to the speedy establishment of tho People ' s Charter . Ho cordially supported tho resolution . Mr . Mackintosh then retired amidst loud

      cheers . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . George White then presented himself to propose the memorial . He said that he never felt so affected on any subject as the present , for ht had knowH poor Holberry , and slept in the samo cell with him in York Castle , and a kinder or more generous and noble-minded man never existed . He could thereforo truly state that he came forward to address them with a sorrowing heart . Mr . White then proceeded at great length to describo the manner in which himself and the otheT Chartist prisoners had been treated in prison , and spoke in

      strong terms on the death of poor Holberry . He exhorted the working men present to unite for the purpose of destroying the infamous system which deprived thehonestest men of their lives whilst it upheld villainy ; and after showing up the various tricks and subterfuges of the people ' s enemies , in the shape of Anti-Corn Law and Complete Suffrage Associations , he called on them to form a procession through the town , to show their enemies that their spirits were unbroken , and that pure and undehied Chartism should be predominant in Birmingham , in defiance of the sophistry of political pedlers or sham RadicalB . Mr . White concluded by reading the following memorial : —

      To the Honourable the Commons of Great Bnlain and Ireland in Parliament assssmbled . The Memorial 0 ! the uudereigncd inhabitants of Birmingham Sheweth , —That your memorialists have beard with deep and poignant feelings of regret of the death of Mr . Samuel Holberry , of Sheffield , in one of her Majesty ' s gaols , known uadet the name of " York Castle . '" That the said Samuel Holberry was tried at York

      Spring assiz-s , 1810 , for sedition and conspiracy , and sentenced to four year's imprisonment in Norlhallerton House of Correction , ¦ where the severity of the " sileat system , " insufficient diet , and other descriptions of brutality , were such as to cause the death of Mr . Clayton , and caused t& 9 rcleaBo of Mr . James Duffy , at the point of death , and also induced tue Home Secretary to remove Win . Martin , after tea months torture , Penthorpe and others crippled for life , and Samuel Hoiberry after suffering nearly two years of tho same inhuman treatment . '

      That several applications have been mode to the Marquis of Normanby , the former , and Sir James Graham , the present Secretary of State for the Home Department , and that the surgeon of York Castlo has repre 8 ent « d to Sir James Graham tha absolut-e necessity of advising her Majesty to liberate the said Samuel Holberry as the only means of saving his life . That in tho opinion cf your memorialists the course pursned by her Majesty's Government , calls aloud for the interference of your Honourable House who ought

      to be held responsible for the life and health of those ¦ who are . confined in prisons which aie under their controul , aud as so many persona have either expired or been maimed for life under the inhuman torture cf those dens of infamy , it appears to your memorialists that . your Honourable House should institute an investigation into the conduct of Sir James Graham , with a view of ascertaining . whether her Majesty ' s Secretary of State shall have the power entrusted to him of taking the lifa of any man vrho may dissent from the political opinions of the ruling powers .

      Your memorialists have also learned , with regret , that similar cruelties are practised in Wakefield and Beverley Houses of Correction , and trust that such steps will be taken as the wisdom of your Honourable Houea may suggest to prevent the recurrence of such revoking inhumnnity ; and that the parties who are now impri-Boned for political oft ' ences may be forthwith released , lest they also fall victims to the silent system . Your memorialists therefore pray your Honourable House to cause the whule of the circumstances connected -with the death of Ciayton ai ; d Holberry to be investigated ; and trust that the remaining politicalprisoners , £ o ;; ie of whom have been nearly two years and a half incarcerated in those worse than French Bastilea , may be forthwith liberated . We also trust that due provision will be made for the widows of the above-named

      victims of cruelty ; and your Hononrable Houss will in so doing prove to the country that there is still a particle of humanity rsmaining amongst your Hon . Members . But if this our heartfelt and sincere application for justice should be refused , we shall be compelled to come to the conclusion that there is nothing to hope for from the Legislature of this country , and that the lives of the , industrious inhabitants of England are at the disposal of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State . Hoping that your Honourable House ¦ will give the abova application that consideration which the importance of the subject demands , a : id grant the prayer of this memorial , Your memorialists will ever pray .

      Mr . Soar spoke as follows—Fellow countrymen , you have all heard with sorrow and the stern indignation of honest minds , the record of another death added to the crowded human list of class tyranny ; Now I would ask , is there a man standing here , who believes that God the author cf his existence , considers him as a waster , or one too many on the world's surface . ? To this question I feel assured , that a religious and indignant answer of no , would thrill like an electric shook through this meeting . Well then my friends , if you be not intruders on the earth ' s sphere , you are all entitled to equal rights . Now because this bold-fronted and virtuous citizsn , maintained and contended for this righteous Godhorn principle ; the present disease and crime engendering Bystem of legislation grasped hold of him , with the black hand of its ruffian power , and left him to die a lingering death in a gloomy dudgeon ,

      surrounded by the vile , mean , and merciless instruments of its tyraany . Where are the" free traders " now ? . ^ hy are they not here I these morbid gentlemen that whine and weep , and wonderthat menshould be so cowardly debased , as tamely , and onlygrumblingly , to eat dead cows , dead dogs , and offal ; yet when a nn . o and patriotic fellow has the moral courage and inanliness of mind to resist the system which produce . 51 these horror , and breeds crime as fast and nnmerv ^ os * s insects in a stagnant pond , they allow him * *•<> be murdered , and not a single resentful epithet es ^ pes their lips against the murderers . But they n ^ her cat _ their diaaerB with a relishing zest , gaying ^ racs with a round of d ~~~ 3 against all Chartists , ' who mean doing the thing completely , without anya dmixture ofWhiffcozeaage , delusion , or trickery . No w » my friends , I take this opportunity of guarding * ° u against these char-

      latans , who ate jU 8 t & 0 W drivelling , snivelling , and moralising , edging round the boundary line of Chartist principles , I would have you remember that although this heroic fellow , Holberry , has died in prison , there are such things poctir as men dying oi starvation out of one ; and such may be the fate of maiay of you , unless by your united exertions , as brothers of the association , you obtain the Charter , and put it beyond the bounds of probability that any such horrible fate should ever arrive in this Christian . country .. ' ; ¦ : ' :. ¦/ •' ¦> ' '¦• . ¦ ¦ •^¦• :- . ¦'¦' ¦¦ ' ¦" ' -v V ¦¦ . ; . " - ' . ¦ ¦'" ¦ ¦ . ¦ . The Chatemam then put the memorial , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Wilsfobd

      proposed—•' That the memorial then read be Bigned by the Chairman , on behalf of the meeting , and entrusted to Thomas Dunobmbe , Esq ., for presentation to the House of Commons , and that Messrs . Muntz aad Scholefield be requested to support the same . " 1 Mr . Fjellows seconded the resolution in , an appropriate and effective speech , after whioh the motion was put and carried unanimously . . A vote of thanks was given the Chairman , for his able and patriotic services on that and previous occasions , and after hearing the Chairman ' s response , the flags were immediately taken from the hustings , for the purpose of forming THE PROCESSION . .: ¦ - ' ¦ : . . ; ¦¦ : ¦; ,. / ¦ / -.. , ¦ ¦ : .. : . ,

      As soon as the black flag was placed on the centre of the road j opposite the Li verpool station , the working men commenced forming ia a quiet and orderly manner , six a-breast .

      CLITHEKOE . GBAND DEMONSTRATION AND PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF F . O'CONNOR , ESQ . Tho Whigs and Tories of this parson-ridden borough have of late been very much discomfitted at tho . tho appearanpa of largo placards stating that F . O'Connor , Esq . was about to honour us with a visit . . ' , ¦ ' . ¦ ' . . •¦•' " ¦ : ' .. '¦ ¦ .. ¦ ¦ ¦¦ - . : ' A large number of brave men and true assembled on Wednesday last , at tho Commercial Inn , with

      two bawds of music and . flags and banners , aud started in prcessiou to Whalley , where they met Mr . O'Connor , and 'returned . in procession to Clithcroc . The numbers kept . increasing , throughout tho whole route , cyery one seeming anxious to get a glimpse-of the man of the people ' s choice ; When they arrived in Clitheroe there could not be less than 10 , 000 people in the procession . After parading the ' prihcipaUtr . ee'ts of thetowu-they rcturnod to the 'Bowling-green , where ;

      Mr . B ' ££ . SLBir ,--i . h an animated sirain , addressed the asscniblfid thoutands on the present wide spreading distress , arid proved to the satisfaction of all present that it sprung from that upsts-treeof coiruptipn class legislation . ¦ ¦ ; , Mr . O'Connor was then called on to address ' them , and , in a powerful and convinoirig manner entered into a dissertation of themeasurea brought forward and passed by the Whig Government , and made a very humour ous comparispn of the poor woman and tho lady , to the great pretensions to patriotism by Russellj Palmerston , Normauby , &c . &c , and concluded an eloquent speech by exhorting the people to stand firm by their own organization , to avoid jealousies and disunion , and not to be divided by any designing demagogue j but to shew by their unity , firmness , and determination , that they would never

      sit down with any thing short of their national regeneration . He retired amidst loud cheers . Three cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for Feargus O'Connor , when the meeting adjourned . A good substantial dinner was served at Mr . Allen ' s the Commercial Inn , which did infinite credit to mine host . After the cloth was drawn it was thought proper to adjourn to the large room , at the Swan Inn , where Mr , O'Connor and Mr . Beesley addressed the assemblage . Long before tho hour appointad the room was crowded to excess jMri . John Pollard , of Sabden , was elected to the chair . When Mr . O'Connor pre - sented hioiseif he was hailed with three cheers . Mr . Beeslet addressed the meeting at great length iu his usual impassioned manner , which went home to the hearts of all present .

      Mr . O'Connor then faso , and for an hour and a half , in a strain of impassioned eloquence , went into a clever refutation of fi-ee trado nostrums , made good the position of every act of the Chartists , illustrated the progress of Chartism , went intoa lucid explanation of the army , and the navy , law-made church , tho national debt , pension list , and many othei'grievances which afflict this unhappy nation ; and through his co- j vincing , talented , and patriotic lecture , won the . esteem' of all who heard him . He was only interrupted by tho hearty plaudits of the enthusiastic assembly . At the close of the lecture an affectionate and well-written address was presented to him .

      Mr . O'Connor replied , and said that the address he had just received breathed the spirit that he had agitated for , had written for , and had been imprisoned for . It was of itself a sufficiency for his bygone perseverance , and a retaining fee for his future labours and services . He thanked them cordially for the manner in which they had received him that , day * "¦'• ¦ ¦ Three cheers were then given for him , and the immense assembly separated . [ We did not receive this report until Friday morning , at which time the Star was completely full : ' we have thereforo been under the necessity of leaving out the address presented to Mr . O'Cdnaorj a copy of which waa furnished to us . ]

      . LEEDS . .. . PUBLIC MEETING TO MEMORIALIZE THE QUEEN , AND A 130 ET THE NATIONAL REMONSTRANCE . On Monday evening , the largest public meeting which has been held in this town for eome time took place in the Vicar ' s Croft , called by placard , to make known thoir opinions oil the present distress , to memorialize the Queen , and to adopt the remonstrarice to the House of Commons , as drawn up by the late Convention . There could not be * fewer than from 10 , 000 to 12 , 000 persons present , amongst whom were a very large number of the middle classes .

      Soon after seven o ' clock ' Mr . Sqoirb Farrau Was called to the chair , and , having very briefly opened the business , and read the placard by wnioh the meeting had been convened , called upon Mr . Fraser , who , in a speech of great length and power , moved tho . first resolution , which he read as follows : — ; ' « ' That this meeting views with extreme regret the impoverished Condition of the working cla 8 ses of thia country , and the lamentable decay of tiade amongst the middle cl . " -B 3 trridesmen , without any prospect of permanent relisf for the one party , or increased busineisa for the other ; and while we trace this unprecedented distreB 3 to unjust oppressive monopolies , that have

      originated from , and been perpetuated by , Class Legislation , we have never seen propounded any Bcheme , nor can we devise any method likely to improve ; the evils that afflict society , as soon , and aa efficiently , as procuring for tha mas 3 of the people of Britain political power ,: whereby they riiigbt upro 6 t oppression / - annihilate Belfiah monopolies / and make an end of Party legislation . Xhersfore , we maintain , to aceomplish this , a full , fair representation of the people is necessary , arid for that purpose we demaad , as an act of justice , that the representative servants of the people place the ' People ' s Charter , " entire , ( as it now standa before the world , ) upon the statute book of Great Britain , as one of the Liwsof this land . "

      Having submitted the resolution , Mr . Frazaic proceeded to amplify its statements , in doing which- ' -h e * drew a fearful picture 0 ? the evils ' - ' wbich had been entailed on tho country by the united ; misrule of both Whigs and Tories , neither of whoin had the interests of the working ¦ ¦ ¦ ' classes at heart , the latter not possessing the means of working out their owii poliUcalpower , or of carrviug into effect any esten-Bive political improvement , because the factions were determined to legislate only for themselves . From this cause did the country furnish at the present time one \ of the most frightful anomalies which it was possible to contemplate , wealth abounding on one hand but misery

      and wretchedness greatly preponderating on tha other . He was happy to see eo large an assemblage of working men met to protest against such a state of things , and be was also glad that those facts bad begun to speak loudly ? to tne shopkeeping class , who had at last discovered in their empty flhopa and blank ledgers , that when the working people were deprived of the means of earning their bread , the middleolassmustsoonfollow in their wake . While dwelling on the means by which thia state of things wag to be norooted . he exhorted all

      who heard him not to suffer themselves to be entrapped into any yiolence of language « revolutionary outbreak , but to proceed peaeefully - onwardsza their moral might agitatinc , by all peaceful means , for their inalienable rights , and . not being led away by any harangues whien might be addressed to them by interested partiee , to commit any breach of the peace . The speaker deliverer some well-direeted hits atthe Corn Law League , and then went on to show the advantages which must accrue to the people by the breaking up of the monopoly of the land ; he con-

      cluded a splendid apeech , amidat great cheering , by oal < ing on all to be united , and to persevere until success crowned their efforts . ; Mr . Joseph Jones , in a few remarks on the state of the hadd-loovi waavars , seconded the resolution - . ¦ _ Mr . T . B . Smith , on rising td support the resolution , expressed his great satisfaction at meeting so numerous an assembly of his fellow-tpwhsmen on so important an occasion . He had notbeen informed of the nature of the resolutibn on which he was called upon to speak , and had only , heard it _ read once , bo that he was not able to retain it all in his head ; he believed / however , that every principle it contained was rooted ia his heart , and that was the best place—( cheers . ) Having , had the honour to

      move the adoption of the National Petition in Leeds , he naturally looked with some considerable interest to the manner in which it would be received , and he had not been disappointed ; indeed , nothing good could come out of such a place . The House was called the House of Commons , but he ( Mr . Smith ) thought it : should be called : the House of Uncommons- ^ ( laughter)—for ^ hey certainly were the most uncommon set of fellows in existence , having , according to their own account , obtained their seats in a majivrity of cases by means of the most unblushing bribery and corruption . They also professed great sympathy for the distresses of the people , and yet when Mr . Ferrand proposed to give the people one million of their own Six

      money to : alleviate this distress ^ only could be found to vote with him . Wellj the national petition signed by nearly three and a half millions of men and women had been presented , ahd received with scorn , contempt , laughter , and derision by the House of Commons , and when , on the next day , the most honest man in the House moved that tha- petitioners be heard at the ^ bar by themselves , their counsel , or their agents , and though : the moat affecting statements of the prevalent distress . Were laid before the house by Mr . Duncombe , that motion was rejected by an-overwhelming majority . And now our own representatives , the Convention , had directed us , and the direction was wise and good , to remonstrate ¦

      with the House , and to memorialise . ¦ the ; throne . He i Mr . S . ) had little hopes from either , but it was a legal way of making thoir wants known , and he was glad therefore that the Convention had so directed . Mr . Snaith then went on at considerable length in pointing out the cause which had ledto pur present unparalleled distress , remarkina ; in a severe . though humorous style Hpon spine portions of our extravagant expenditure , observing that our rulers spent £ 9 , 000 , 000 annuallyinpeace , andjei 5 , OflO , O 0 Oin teaching war : this proved that a redcoat was mere beneficial than asurplicejhesupposed because the red coats had arms in their hands , and the Government though ; if they did not get rather move than their fair share of the plums from the pudding , they might turn

      crusty emp ' oyers —( much laughter . ) Mr . S , then showed that the interests of the middle and workin tf classes were really identical , and made some well-merited strictures upon the folly practised during the passing of the Reform Bill agitation , contending that all men had a right to Bhare in the exercise of political power , simply on fie ground of their being human beings . He successfully demolished the charge , that if the working men had power they would employ it in the destruction of property , by showing that , of all men , the working classes had the most interest in its preservation , inasmuch as they produced it all . The working classes did not want stars , gartersj and coronets ; they would leave such

      baubles to those who cared for them ; they only asked for the means to labour , and a fair remuneration for their work . The speaker alluded to the objection that the working classes were ignorant , and that if they had .-political- .. power , they would not know how to use it , and said that was like the old woman who told her grandson that he must go into the water udtil ho had learnt to swim . ¦—( Cheers . ) Let them but once get the franchise , and practico would soon make them perfect . Mr . S . proceeded to make a few pertinent and feeling remarks on the death of poor Holberry , charging it as

      a legal murder upon the Government , and especially upon the Hpuie Secretary . but for whose heartless cruelty Holberry m ight have now been alive . He begged them to take a noble revenge for the death of the virtuous , by resolving that this country should be free . He alluded to the manner in which the poors ' rights had been taken away , aud to the union of the factions to re-enact the accursed Poor Law ; and concluded by exorting to perseverance in unity and legal agitation , until victory crowned their efforts . The reiolution was then put , and carried unanimously , a forest of hands being held lip for it , followed by tremendous cheering *

      Mr . Dixon , of Holbeck , proposed the second resolution , as : follows : — ' ^ That thi s meeting cannot but view with feelings of indignation , the spirit vrhioh , ms diBplaved \> y the members of the House of Commons , iw denying the prayer of the Great National Petition , expresaing the will of 3 , 300 , 000 of the people of this countiy , praying for inquiry into the causes of the prevailing distress of our population , therefore , this meetfng , in accordance ¦ wi th the advice of the late Convention of , the industrious classes , adept the remonstrance to that House on their illiberal and one-sided conduct relative to tbat petition . "

      Mr . Stansfield , of Wortley , seconded the resolutionvahd remarked that as it was admitted on all hands the national distress was great , so in his opinion nothing short of the national medicine was calculated to relievo it . They had that national medioinein the Charter— - ( laughter and cheers)—and though it might cause some wry faces before it was fairly got down , yet bolt it they must / name and all , and the sooner they took it the sooner would the disease be stopped in its destroying career— ( cHeers . ) Mr . Cooper , of Manchester , supported the resolution in a speech of considerable length , taking for histheme the line of the poet , " Who would be free , themselves must strike the ; blow . . ¦ ¦ ¦ ' .-. ¦• ¦ ¦ . - ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ •' ¦; : : : ¦ . - ¦ •'

      He showed what this blow must be—not such an one as would shed the blood of any man or any partyj but struck by a united people in all their moral energy and dignity j a . people who had been : taught their rights , and who were determined not to rest satisfied with any thing less than the full measure of the stature of the perfect man ; When slavery would be banished from the earth , and the whole people enabled to live in perfect peace and freedom , the many being no longer condemned to exist in misery and starvation , that tho few might roll in wealth and luxury . He went , seriatim , through the objects contained in the remonstrance , commenting severely on the conduct of the House of Commons , and from all these circumstances , drew the conclusion that— - . ' ' - ¦ ¦ " ' , '"•¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ; ¦ - . - - ¦¦¦ " Who would be free themselves mu 9 t strike the blow . ''

      Mr . Cooper then showed , in an admirablo manner the aptitude of the People's Charter to promote the people's welfare , by the abolition of classlegislation , and the establishment of that freedom which they all desired . By Universal Suffrage alone could England bo made the pride of the world , and not the admiration only of surrounding nations , but a blessing to the whole human race . He next rer fe ' rre'd to the policy pui-sued by Feel , with regard to the Corn Laws , the Income Tax ( a tax which would fall ultimately exsluBively oh the working classes , and the ^ tariff / and contended "that none of these would gvve justice to the working classes , who were still continued to be mocked by the offer of charity , and that charity , too , to be doled out through the medium of the church / whose bishops might with the greatest truth and clearness ^ adopt the lines of one of their ovvupoetic compositions : —

      - ' " Whene ' er I take my walka abroad , How many poor I see ; What shall I render to my God , For all his gifts tome ? : Not more than others 1 deserve , Yet God hath giv ' n me more ; For I have food , while others starve , Or beg from door to door . " These Bishops were also Members of the House of Peers , and if they would go there and join with others in giving justice to the people * it would

      better become them than begging for charity . In conclusion , he called upon them to unite as one man —peacefully , firmly , constitutionaUy—to strike the poet ' s blow for their freedota , and to show the Commons '; / House- ' - -that they were determined not only to remonstrate against their Unjust cohduot , but to take every legal means of destroying its future influence . Mr * Cooper ' s remarks were listened to withgreat attention , and called forth loud and repeated plaudits . It was nearly dark before he had done speaking .

      The resolution , like the former , wias unanimously carried / aioaidst great cheering , Mr , Bbiggs moved the third resolution : — ¦" . «« That this meeting , being convinced of the utter hopelessness of receiving justice from themis-named representatives of the people , as a last resource , we are determined to carry our comglaints and wishes to the throne , hoping there is a possibility of being heard in that quarter ; and , therefore , we adopt the Memorial to her Majesty , beseeching her to listen to the earnest desires of three millions and a half of her subjects upon the wretched condition of the industrioua people of the country . " : ; : : ¦ ¦ :: ' ¦ \ ' ' ^ :: ¦ -K ' - : i ¦ ' ^ : Mr . Knowles , one of the churchwardens , seconded the resolution , which was briefly supported by Mr .
