      » j » oy » paraTBTMjiy purposes ; mattoe U > njerratires , whrMgini ^ TiaTe gladly availed themselves oa so joyous an occasion , had been entirely excluded ; and that the hour for which the meeting was called was inconvenient for a many who were confined by badness ; and that , for these reasons , he would more for an adjournment to another day that greater publicity might be given to a subject of sach vital importance as the one they were met to commemorate , Mr . Hkxlt , a working man , previously to Mr . Francis speaking , had protested against the unseasonable hour for which it was called , as ic exeluded almost all the working classes , who were as much interested in this question » s any class of the community .

      Mr . Wells , a Whig barber , saw no reason why * be meeting shouid not proceed to business , there beu . g as many present & 3 was usual on any occasion , excepting the two last times , when the Hall was fillSd for the purpose of obstructing the arrangements of the meeting ; and the only design for an adjournment favourable to a meeting of the working classes was to defeat the objects contemplated by the present meeting . Mr . Brass , a working man , said the arguments ± . the last speaker were of a strange character . A meeting was called lor a specific purpose , by a numerouslv-signed requisition , yet he would make bold to assert that as many of the requishionists

      themselves were not even present , he thought their loyally was below par . ^ slow could the few now Bet congratulate her Af&jpuL , && the inhabitants M Bull ! That , according « o tW Ia 3 t speaker , the fewermevtto greater loyalty , and , on tne contrary the larger the meeting ¦ the groit flr the dislojalty . If this were so , there was no occasion whatever to call this meeting , as the Town Council , or even one individual , might do the work this meeting wa 3 called on to perform . Bat whenever a meeting was called by requisition , all those having signed it ought to answer to their names when read over by the chairr" *;! , and concluded by suggesting an adjournment to Monday evening , at seven o ' clock .

      Mr . Kennedy then moved , and Mr . Johs Peck seconded , thai this meeting , at its rising , be adjourned till Monday evening , at hall-past six o ' clock . A committee of nine was then appointed to draw op an address and resolutions , to be submitted to the adjourned meeting—the Whigs , Tories , and Chartists having each three on the committee , the three for the Cnartists being Messrs . Peck , Wild , and Healey . The committee met on Friday evening , but no eooner did the Chartist party submit their views to the notice of the meeting , than Mr . Francis ( a Tory ) refused to acknowledge any such party as Chartists , and that the exiled and suffering patriots were endaring a merited punishment .

      The Chartists , being then in a minority , refused to connect themselves further with the proceedings , and the Whigs and Tories dove-tailed together their separate addresses , to meet the views of both parties . At the adjoHrned meeting of the inhabitants of Hull , held in the Town Hall , on the evening of Monday , 7 ih December , 1 & 40 , the Mayor in the chair , to pass congratulatory addresses to her Majesty , Prince Albert , and the Duchess of Kent , the following proceedings took place , and which we

      think ought to hav © the greatest publicity ; as , do doubt , other towns , or rather the Wing municipal authorities of some other towns , may in like manner deceive not only those whom they meet to congratulate , but the country in general , as to the state of feeling manifested on these occasions ; and as oar paper is most extensively circulated among a < 0 a ^ of persons who Know how to value WixJg professions , and who are not to be deceived by their proceedings , a report of this , while it may not surprise the Cnartists , may , nevertheless , afford to them an additional proof of the value of Whig

      veracity . Alter the adjournment on Thursday , all parties exerted themselves to demonstrate their influence on Monday night . Whig agents were as busy as bees on a summer's day . The Tories , in aadition to other means—and treating was one—extensively circulated a printed document , of which the following is a copy : —** You are particularly requested to attend a meeting to be held at the Towu Hall this evening , at half-past six o'clock , for the purpose of voting addresses to her Majesty the Queen , Prince Albert , and the Duchess of . Kent . . Monday , 7 » a Dec ., 184 U . John Hntchinfon , primer , 30

      Scale-lane , HulL As may be supposed , the exertions to procure a full meeting were not thrown away ; before six o ' clock a considerable number of persons had taken their places , the Tory gallery was pretty full , the opposite one the police asserted was reserved for females , notwithstanding , before the business of the meeting commenced , it was taken possession of by a posse of Whigs , whose conouct throughout was anything but creditable to the party whose tooi ^ the y were , or to themselves as gentlemen ; suffice it to say , they were of the ihopocraey , which affords at once a gauge for the calicre of their minds .

      A little before seven o ' clock , the Major , Sir Wm Lowthrop , Mr . Kennedy , Mr . FrancL ? , and several other jgtntlemen made their appearance on the platform , which was soon crowded in every par ; by Whus and Tories , ¦ at this time the bcdy of the Hall was crowded chiefly fey working men , and the police imprudently ciu * ed the doors , which caused considerable confusion , as there were hundreds seeking admission , and one of the Chartists had to be passed over the heads of the people , the length of the room , to take his place on the piitiorm as one of their advocates . We may as weil notice the fac ; that , the night police were in attendance , leaving the tosra in an unprotected condition , as the services of all were ' Whiggishly required upon this momentous occasion . The meeting was opened by the Mayor taking the chair , who eiaimed for every speaker a fair hearing , after which ,

      Mr . Koxedt , the editor of the Whig Advertiser newspaper , who obtained a place under Lord Dorham in his Canadian mission , explained to the meeting the circumstances under which the committee appointed at the last meeting had acted , but only explained so much as suited the purpose of his party . Sir Wm . Lowthosp then rose to to move that au address be presented to her Majesty , and that the following be the address . The Tow * Clerk then read the following address : — 11 To Her Mosi Gracious Majesty the Queen .

      " We , Tour Majesty's loyal and dutitui subjects , tha Mayor , Magistrates , Clergy , Merchants , Bankers , and other inhabitants of the Borough of Kingston-upon-Bull , assembled in the Town Hail of the said Burough , bag leave to tender to your Maj-jsty oar most sincere and heartfelt congratn 1 . itioiis upoa the auspicious birllj of the Heiress-Presumptive to the Throne . " To that benign Providence , ¦ which has hitherto protected your Majesty , we offer up our fervent prayers for the continued health of jour Majesty and the ' Princess Royal ; and-we trust ttat your Majesty ' s maternal solicitude will obtain its brft reward in the early devdopemen . and timely maturity of Christian graces and patriotic virtues in the mind of the infant Princfcss .

      " It is our earnest hope that the Almighty giver of all good , through whom tings reign , may long preserve your Majesty , the Princess Royal , and your Royal Consort , in the enjoyment of evtry domestic blessing ; that your 3 Iaje « ry may reign over a loyal , tree , and contented people , and that your Majesty ' s desctndan : s may be established through ail generations on the Throne of these realms as the protectora of our religion , and the guardians of our national liberties . " Sir William said that tie principles of the British constitution he coonsidered most especially adapted for the happiness of the people , they being based upon an equitabie distribution of power , whereby the different orders of the community were fairly represented , and operated as a check on each other .

      ( Much uproar . ) li was this which he considered made this country stand unrivalled in the history of the world . ( Great disorder . ) Everything , therefore , which bore on the maintenance of this happy equilibrium was oi the greatest importance to the nation . Nothing , in bis opinion , could be more important than the auspicious event which now called them together . He was a lover of his country , because he could find no betier ; and he was a lover of the Government , because it embodied essentially those principles which frecured the best interests of the working classes . ( Lond cries of " . No , no . ) Gentlemen were not to try him by his words , bnt by his actions , which alone could prove the trnth of his assertions . He wonld observe .

      that in slanting at the history of the world , they coula not fail to be struck how much human blood has been spilt , at various times , in settling the disputes of rival claimants to the throne , assisted mnch by the confliction of aristocratic and democratic principles , which even now more or less agitated this country—n » t only this , bnt every country . Admit this , and still they had only adaitted that the difficulties whieh belonged to imperfect human nature were in the way of the advancement of liberty and happiness ; and in his ( Sir W . L . ' s ) opinion , the only way by which this could be effectually removed , was by the more expansive , diffusion of Christianity , And it onght , therefore to rejoice every heart , that it had pleased God to make this country the depository of the sacred

      Untitled Article

      truths of Christianity . ( Much uproar , and crieB of " Question . ") After a prayer for the success of Victoria ' s reign , he concluded by reading the address . Mr . Fbxscis , of Kingston College , then addressed the meeting , and said he was convinced that the address which had been proposed would be acceptable to the great majority of the meeting , so far as it went . Having been one of a committea to prepare an address which should not be offensive to any , he need only submit to the meeting that such an address had been presented , and was now before them . If this was the case , no more need be said on the subject . The meeting had heard that this address had not been unanimously prepared by the committee appointed for that purpose ; the reason for this was , that certain members of the committee considered themselves as delegates of a party , for the

      purpose of preventing unanimity , and to effect that object had attempted to introduce matter into the addresses which they had been appointed to prepare , perfectly irrelevant to the subject upon which they were assembled to address her Majesty . He ( Mr . Francis ) had come there at some inconvenience to express hiB sentiments on the occasion ; he had told them , at the last meeting , that he was not a delegate of any party , and had merely acted from his own impulse of what he considered to be right . If ever there were an occasion when party differences oafc h * to be laid aside , this was it . Without detaining the present meeting farther , he would beg to second Sir William Lowthrop in the proposal , that the loyal address , which had been distinctly read over by the Town Clerk , and in which no loyal or rational man could find anything objectionable , be adopted by this meeting , and forwarded to the foot of the throne . Mr . John Peck then rose , amid the repeated plaudits of the Chartists . He said be had the honour of appearing at that meeting as the representative of Jus fellow-townsmen of the working classes , to propose for the consideration of that meeting an address in the form of an amendment upon that ¦ which had just been proposed . He first wished to observe that a great mistake had pervaded the minds ef the gentlemen who had previously addressed the meeting ; for , if they consulted the original requisition they would see it stated that the inhabitants were called upon to consider the

      propriety of an address to her Majesty . Gentlemen had presumed—and he hoped to prove wronglythat nothing extraneous—nothing but a simple congratulatory address ought to be presented . He denied such a position altogether ; and , had business been proceeded with at the last meeting , an amendment similar to the one he now held in his hand would have been presented . ( Applause . ) He had yet to learn when they were met on an occasion like the present that it was extraneous matter to ask for . mercy . ( Great applause . ) He ha . d yet to learn that it was extraneous matter to ask their

      Sovereign for relief on a joyful occasion like the present , from burdens that pressed upon them . ( Much applause . ) There was nothing more likely to make the present a joyful occasion than the exhibition of mercy on the part of the Sovereign towards her people . ( Rapturous applause . ) It was not uncommon for persons to be liberated from gaol on joyful occasions like the present ; and only on Monday last , a gentleman had liberated all the debtora in Carlisle gaol , whose debts were under £ 20 , solely , ¦ as he stated , in consequence of thi 3 auspicious event . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He ( Mr . P . ) was there to bring forward an address expressing the principles of that party which was not recognised by the State , and , if he could , he would have those Bentiments carried to the Throne .

      ( Much applause . ) He asked the Mayor if the working classes ever had had fair play since the Whigs came into office ; he asked if anything like justice had "been done since they held the reins ; aid not the working classes present a requisition to the late . Mayor asking for the use of the Town Hall to consider ihe propriety of addressing the Queen to dismiss her present Ministers , which petition waj signed by 320 inhabitants whoae trades and residences were attached to the signatures , and they were refused ; while , within one short week of that time , a Whig requisition , with but sixty signatures , was graciously received , and the use of tne Town Hall granted them . Among us , justice is not only lame , but blind . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Peck concluded by proposing that the following address be substituted for the one just read : —

      "To the Queen ' s Most Excellent Majesty . "Most Gracious Soversig > -, —We , your Majesty ' s dutiful and loyal subjects , the inhabitant * of the Borough oi Kingston-upon-Aull , in public meeting assembled , beg leave moat respectfully to tender to your Majesty our sincere and heartfelt congratulations on the happy and auspicious event which has conferred upon your Majesty the endearing title ef parent , and enable * us to hail the birth of a Princess Royal of these realms . " We hope your Majesty will be pleased to permit ub to congratulate your Majesty on the new feeling of affectionate maternal kindness which must animate your AIaj « sty towards your royal daughter , and allow us to express the hope that you will take into your serious consideration the conditi « n of those who are without not only the comforts but the necessaries of life—a stat e of things which has been caused by the folly and extravagance of our legislators , who are alike ignorant and corrupt .

      " And that while we invoke tbe Divine blessmg on your head , we hope that your Majesty will cause inquiry to be made into the grievances of the people , grievances which can only be removed by granting to the peop . e a full , fair , and free representation in the Communs' House of Parliament , as contained in the People ' s Charter . " That we hope your Majesty on this joyful occasion will not deny to the exiled and incarcerated victims of political persecution , that sacred mercy which Heaven has constituted tbe oDly condition of extending to man ij > forgiveness , but that you -mil be pleased to issue an universal amnesty to all suffering patriots of tbe people ' s cause , and thus diffuse unmmgled juy throughout your Majesty's dominions , as well as to the widowed mother and orphan child . "

      Mr . Thomas Wild seconded the address as amended and proposed by Mr . Peck , and said that it had his cordial approbation , for it exactly recorded his sentiments . ( Cneers . ) It would appear that the toiling millions may hope for no sympathy from the aristocracy and higher classes . Has not her Majesty the prerogative of shewing mercy , and is it not one of the first principles of Christianity , to love mercy and to do justice ? Why then should we be deprived of this opportunity of seeking for mercy for ail those who have been unjustly persecuted , and of expressing our opinions on an occasion so favourable ! " I would ask the gentlemen present if the

      working classes have any grievances?—if there are uot 20 u , 0 (» 0 nand-loom weavers in a state of destitution ? ( Hear , hear . ) Have we not grievances to complain of in the State , in the Church , and in the Law ! Do we not see the prisons becoming too small to hold such as have been sent there ior being poor ; or for giving expression to tbeir ^ political opinions' ( Hear , Hear . ) Do we not see Union bastiles erected all over the country , and have they not inflicted upon the country a Rural Ponce force to mark the footsteps of the working classes , and to transmit to the Secretary of State every circumstance connected wiih their movements ? AlJ these evils

      have arisen in a brick and mortar legislation , and of which I see a great deal here . ( Much applause . ) The Scriptures teil n 3 that by the sweat of out brow we thall obtain fuod . How then does it happen that so many of the industrious are starvim ;? ( Aery , "Mr . Frauds ana such like eat it a ] J . ') Sir Wm . Lowthrop says he is a friend to the working classes . I believe him , and hope he will shew himself really so . ( . Hear , hear . 1 All that we want is to enjoy political rights as a means of bettering our condition , without in the least abridging the comforts of the higher classes . Let them keep all they have . 1 beg leave to second the amended address . ( Applause . )

      Mr . Healy rose to support the amendment of Mr . Peck , and said that , notwithstanding what had been expressed in committee by a gentleman present that the Chartists were not a recognised party , the Speaker of the House of Commons , when that House was petitioned by upwards of a million ami a quarter , declared not only the petition bnt the Charter to be perfectly legal . He ( Mr . Healy ) was sorry to find that one who called himself a dear Chartist brother at their last meeting , should be doing his utmost to disturb the present one . He hoped , however , to see the day when the working classes wonld possess tbe power of legislatiDg for the interests of all , and occupy a seat on that bench at present filled by gentlemen acting as _ magistrates , and thai justice would then be impartially administered , and not as by the present authorities . ( Here the confusion caused by the Whigs became so great , that . it was impossible for Mr . H . to be heard , aid after waiting a considerable timebe sat dowD . )

      , Mr . Bur > s rose to support Mr . Peck ' s amended address , and could not but express his surprise at the manner in which this question had been argued by some of tbe preceding speakers . He could not butallude ( he hoped not offensively ) to some remarks made by Mr . Kennedy in respect to the unanimity hoped for at this meeting , from the labours of the committee appointed at the last one . Now he thought the fact of three parties having been

      Untitled Article

      appointed to prepare an address , was proof sufficient that each party had , or supposed it had , a motive or interest of its own to manage in preparing an address that should meet the views of all . Now , the party with whom he acted , were only influenced by human motives ; all they sought to obtain in tbat address , was a prayer that her Majesty would bs graciously pleased to exercise her prerogative of mercy towards the exiled and incarcerated for political offences . Surely this was not too much to ask on what all were considered to acknowledge as a very joyful occasion . Now , he ( Mr . B . ) thought that not one of the gentlemen on that platform would have compromised his dignity , or sacrificed a principle , by including in their address , a prayer , which

      would have detracted nothing from its merits , and have had tbe cordial support of every individual in that crowded assembly . That tbe address prepared by the Whiga and Tories would have their support , no one could for a moment doubt . They were paid to support such addresses , but the working classes , having set theirminds on one object , were determined to support nothing that did not embrace it ; and it were far better , when their object was humane , to nnite with them for its attainment , than obstinately oppose their praiseworthy exertions . Mr . Kennedy might , he ( Mr . B . ) thought , be very easily mistaken for a lawyer , for he possessed that quality in a high degree for which the most eminent among that tribe were distinguished , viz ., special pleading . Mr . K . had wished to make it appear , that every thing but unbounded congratulation , and the most unqualified expreasiitos of loyalty , waB foreign to

      tbe object of this meeting . Is royalty , then , a matter of privilege only , and not of duty t Nor can its privileges be acknowledged , when its duties are not performed . I ask you , Sir ( addressing the Mayor ) , if you would continue a person in your employ who ceased to perform tbe duties for which yon engaged him , or continue his pay should he abscond his employment altogether ; 1 know you would not , Sir , and ihe cases are parallel . But , Sir , the mover of this address ( Sir Wm . Lowthrop ) has made some strange statements ; and which can only be accounted ior by the education he has received . We cannot be ignorant , Sir , of the influence of education in the formation of character . ( Laughter . ) I am not a Socialist , Sir ; still I cannot be ignorant of the fact , that our character is often to be accounted for by impressions made on our minds in early life ; we take in a great measure ihe form of tbe mould in which we have

      been cast , and we find the greatest difficulty in after-life of accommodating that character so formed to a different class , feelings , and circumstances . Sir William has spoken as if no changes had taken place in this country within the last few years ; but if fie had consulted documentary evidence , as hid before Parliament , he might have known that there are numbers of those hands whose wages only average seven shillings a week . Contrast this state of things with royalty , and we shall find that while thousands are thus starving , the expences of royalty are more than equal to the wages of 40 , 000 men at 12 s . » week . Sir William has told us that nothing is so important to the well-being of the State , aa that a line of monarchs should govern by hereditary

      descent ; but I can inform Sir William , that no nation , for the purpose of aggrandisement , have deposed monarchs and overturned thrones as our own have done . Witness our proceedings in India , wbere blood bas been spilt tbat would fill the ocean , and life sacrifisa without mercy , and treasure expended in the unhallowed conflict , in amount incalculable ; but Sir William would improve our condition by a wider diffusion of Christianity . Well , we have attempted this , and it was only the other day that we read of the Captain of a man-of-war and some of his officers and crew being slain in tbe attempt to impose our religion upon tbe inhabitants of one of the South Sea Islands . ( Cries of M no , no , and yes , yes . ") Wo have tried Christianity ( so

      called ) a long time , and before it can ever fulfil the design of its benevolent founder , those wbo assume the teaching of it , must do more work , and receive less pay . ( Mach cheering . ) Mr . B . then referred'to the illegal conviction of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and said that he heard Judge Tindal deolare to tbe Counsel employed by Mr . Frost , that no damage should be sustained by bim in an appeal to the fifteen Judges , on the objection raised by Counsel in his behalf ; but who does not know that although two of the Judges on the Commission decided in favour ot the prisoners , they were , nevertheless , sent out of the country ? On this ground alone , and f v < rTe there no other , he should support the amended address .

      After a few word 3 in reply by Mr . Kennkdt , the Town C ; erk read the two addresses , and the Mayor intimated tbat , as usual , the amendment would be puttirsito the meetiug , and desired that one hand only should be held up by each person . On tbe amendment being put , a very large majority were in its favour—trie loyal address having not more than one-third of the votes—when , to the astonishment of every one , the Mayor declared the original resolutien carried . ( Cries of " there is two to one , aye , five to one , " proceeded from all parts of the meeting . ) It was again tried with the same result . On the original motion for and against , still the Mayor persisted in hi 3 determination ( if not his predetermination ) that the Chartists were defeated , notwithstanding gentlemen of all parties agreed that they had carried their amendment by a large majority .

      bad been asked ,, and explanations given , Mr .

" Mr .

" Some conversation then ensued rotative to the financial condition of the committee , in the course of which Mr . Dyson strongly urged on his friends the propriety of their making a strenuous effort to pay the debtsfof the committee . They should recollect that they were indebted to a man who was about to endure the full measure of persecution which it lay in the power ef tbe enemies ot the people to inflict , and had that day jn * t his fomfucoio face , and bearded them in their stronghold—he meant Mr . Hetherington , who , though be might be ever so mmch in want of it , would not , be

      verily believed , ask them for it , if they » wed it a down ytars . He was anxious to see it paid . It was but just that they should seek to be out of debt before they incurred new expences , and he thought it would add energy to tbe exertions of tne committee to find itself entirely tnshackledby debt Mr .

      MILNROW— Mr . William Tbomason , late of Newcastle , delivered a lecture in the National Charter Association Room , to a crowded audience , on Sunday evening , December the 6 th . ROCHDALE . —On Sunday , December 6 th , a leoture was delivered in the Association Room , at two o ' clock ; the attendance was numerous , and all present appeared to be interested in the truths taught . The lecturer , Mr . William Thomason , of Newcastle , dwelt upon the liberty-destroying aad death-producing institutions of this country ; police , standing army , church , law , the monarchy . Corn Laws , rag money , pension list , and national debt , were exhibited before the audience with thrilling effect ; and each appeared to vow , as deeply as

      Hannibal , when in the midst of the tombs of his ancestors , to alter and reform the entire body politic . He exhibited the points of the Charter in detail , and in order to advance the cause of universal liberty , advised them to form themselves into debating societies , reading associations , and take the education of the rising generation into their own hands . After detailing the progress making in the cause of human advancement , the speaker sat down , and a vote of thanks being tendered , the assemblage separated , highly pleased . Mr . Thomason then , accompanied by aoout twenty of the Rochdale Radicals , went to Milnrow , two miles distant . This place , notorious for its Tory and church predilections , was soon in motion , and the whole

      place , from its centre to its circumference , appeared to have turned out its inmates . The speaker was taken to the room where they meet , whioh- is right over the House of Correction , so that if the speaker had said anything calculated to irritate , the minions of despotism would have had their instruments of torture close at hand . Every alley leading to the place of meeting was completely jammed . Mr . T ., in a simple and homely way , pointed out their grievances—the cheat practised upon them by indirect taxation—the atrocities of the cotton-mill system—and , after giving a pungent appeal to their

      hearts on the necessity of union , and the advantages arising from a combination of mental power , concluded amidst the applause of the assembly . A vote of thanks was given to the Lecturer , who replied by proposing a vote of thanks to the Chairman , who is the owner of the building . An excellent spirit was manifested ; and , by constant agitation , the place may be made too warm for High Church Toryism , or that burlesque upon everything virtuous and good , known by the cognomen of Whiggery .--Mr . C . Connor will lecture next Sunday aiternoon at Rochdale , and in the evening at Spotland , to commence at six o ' clock .

After touching upon a variety of other topics , ho stated to the meeting the interview he had had with Mr . O'Connor ; he described that gentleman as being in good health and excellent spirits , and concluded a powerful address , which occupied two hours in delivery , amidst the plaudits ot the meeting . We have much pleasure in stating that Chartism is progressing at MountsorreL

      Moor , Hawood , Lee , Turtou , Egerton , Belmont , Horridge , Blackrod , Adiington , Chorley . MANCHiSSTiiR . —On Sunday evening , agreeably to previous announcement , Mr . Leech delivered a lecture in the Asbociation-room , Tibstreet , to a crowded audience . He said it was gratifying 10 see the people maintain their position at this juncture , and that it was more than ever necessary that the Chartists should be firmly united , as schemes were now being tried by other parties to get up a counter movement . He saw by the Star that they were likewise aware of it , and had given directions accordingly . He then proceeded to show the deceitfulness which had been practised by the middle clashes at various periods towards the working classes by solicitations for asaiatauc « , until thev had obtained their own ends .

      and then left them , perhaps , in a great deal worse condition than they were before . He had been reading a paragxaph from one of the London papers which went to prove that the labouring people of England are a grumbling and dissatisfied set ; and setting forth that they were better off now than ever they were , and that they enjoyed more real liberty than the people of any othtr nation on the face of the earth . This assertion Mr . L . called a brazen-faced , insulting , and impudent falsehood , and proved it by reading the following account of what a lafcourer could get in sixteen weeks ia I 3 U , and contrasted it with what he could earn at the present day : —A fat sheep at that time would eost Is . 9 d ., a- fat ox 16 s ., a fat goose 2 ^ d ., a doaen of e > igs lid ., a cow was 12 i ., a fat hog 3 s . 4 d ., a pair of shoes 4 d ., a pair of chickens Id ., a fat hen ljd ., & qmarter of wheat Ss . id .

      would , in tea days , be able to purchase a quarter of wheat and a fat goose ; but he could not , at the rate of 5 s . per week at the present time , obtain the tema under twelve wteks and three days . As 6 s . per week is about the average of the hand-loom weaver * * income , it clearly proved the diabolical robbery practised on the working classes . The speaker then animadverted upon tie repeated itrides which hsre been made upon the industrious classes' interests br way of abatements . Aad now ( said he ) let me a&c what security or protection is there for the working classes ! At a certain mJH in Masehester , a redaction of 5 s . in the pound vmw offered by the masters . The hands , knowing that their wages were so low at present as would only enable them to keep body and i

      bouI together , resolved upon resisting any further encroachment upon their bare means of existence . Then what was the conduct of this mfaaanan white slave driver towards the industrious- men who had the misfortune to be imprisoned onder his Draco-like laws \ In order to carry his designs-into effect , and compel the hands to submit , he applied to a parish orBcer , who resides at a considerable distance front Manchester , for a number of paupers-to cone and supplant those men who had turned out . The number was immediately made up > , the overseer threatening them with instant starvation r by stopping their relief , telling them , at the same time , on the authority of tbe white slave drivers of Manchester , that their earnings would amount to twenty-six

      shillings per week , while , at the same time , this deceitful wretch knew that the old hands r who bad been accustomed to the work , had not averaged more than 17 s . before the reduction took place . After alluding to the enormous burdens saddled on the working classes in the shape of National S ) ebt , army , navy , &c . &c , the lecturer said , that one of our Queens , not the one who is adding new burthens to the people ' s stock of grievances , but one laid by aaUBeless lumber , received . £ 100 , 000 per year , winch amounted to £ 273 18 s . 5 ^ . every day . A » 2 s . per day , chis would maintain 2 , 730 workingmea ; in addition to which she had two parks and three royal palaces : The American President had bat £ 5 , 000 . per annum ; consequently , the Queen of

      England had as much at her command as would pay him hia wages for two hundred years to come . The Whigs-had calculated that Is . 3 . } d . was sufficient tosupport an able bodied labourer in their new hells called workhouses , and by this standard of measure ment , they paid over to one woman as much as is sufficient to support 350 , 000 able bodied men . Le * us take a review ( continued the lecturer ) of another titled pauper , a man whose life has been spent in directing the spilling of human blood , and causing the tears of suffering humanity te fliw in torrents . He is receiving , as a pensioner , £ 4 , 090 per year f and also by the 53 rd of George III ., chap . 4 r £ 100 , 000 ; amended by the 33 rd and 54 th of George IIL , £ 400 , 000 ; and again * increased

      £ 200 , 000 ; as Constable of the Tower , £ 950 per year ; as Colonel of the Rifle Brigade , £ 238 per year ; as Colonel of the First Regiment of Guards , £ 2 , 695 per year : as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports , £ 474 10 s . But , Gentlemen , it is useless to continue multiplying examples of the wickedness and extravagance of the aristocracy towards you . I might bring before your notice such sickening details as would keep us till morning , but I will just call their attention to an event that has just lappened , which you will feel as an inenmbrance . This event has been blazoned through the Whig and Tory press , as if it was one of the greatest blessingswhich could come . to the starving millions of this country , and in this way you have been mocked ,

      whiJe you can scarcely keep body and soui together . Then , ajjain , ' look . at the other side of the question . Compare the fuss which has been made with this poor little innocent child , and the thousands of pounds whfeb iviJJ be squandered oa this affair throughout , with the circumstance of the poor woman who , after making application to no less than six different places , was refused at all of them in the midst of the most excruciating pains of childbearing , and was actually delivered in the cab ? ( " Shame , shame , " from all' parts of the room . ) Yes , if justice were done to those cruel Guardians of the Poor , who so neglected their duty , they would have been brought up , and charged with wilfu l murder . Truth is at this time a dangerous com *

      modity ; but the time is coming when men , in spit © of the consequences , will speak out ; and , indeed , those who cap see the wide chasms which have been made betwixt the rich and the poor , without uniting with their fellow-men to chaDge a system so fraught with injustice , ought to be branded as the enemies of their species . Well , it is no use further laying before you the wretchedness of a system of which yon have had so much practical and painful experience ; and , therefore , Jet OS come to the question— " How are we to get rid of these evils 1 " That is the question after all . It is quite evident that the property of the labouring man has been shamefully depreciated , while all other descriptions of property have been enhanced in value . And how has thai been done ? . It is not only that the property of the rich , drawn together from the labour of the people , ha 8 dven them the power ( as our friend O'Brien would say ) of the sucking-pump , but it has

      given them , also , a monopoly of political power , which is never failingly used to turn the wealth produced by the people to the selfish interest and aggrandisement of the rich . Among the many schemes set forth , by way of sops , to engage the attention of the people from their true intereste , under pretence of reforming abuses , we find one in the Manchester Time * of last week ; which , after ridiculing Universal and Household Suffrage , and likewise endeavouring to throw their puny napkin over the shining qualities of men who , compared with themselves , are as the sun to a farthing rushlight , goes on to tell us that an educational qualification is the only one that can give justice to the people ; whilst in the same article this sapient instructor of tho people tells us that nine-tenths of the people in the agricultural districts can neither read nor write . Where is the justice of a scheme which , according to their own shewing , wonld disfranchise nine-tenths of the most usefel and valuable

      people in the world ! But , then , these gentlemen are Corn Law repealers , and they know that the greater part of the profit-mongers ( in this list we include shopkeepers , merchants , manufacturers , all the Royal Family , land aristocracy and gentry spiritual Peers and established clergy , the military , legal , and distributive portions of the community , including commissioners , judges , barristers , councillors , attornies , hangmen , gaolers , turnkeys , police spies , informers , smugglers , swindlers , pedlars , duffers , hawkers , contraband traffickers , professional actors , singers , pawnbrokers , publicans , vagrants , gipsies , coiners'of base money , common prostitutes , paupers , beggars , inmates of asylums , madhouses , dispensaries , and infirmaries , pickpockets , gamblers

      confirmed drunkards , felons , burglars , and others ; in short , all those who fasten on the people ' s industry , and those who are brought down to wretchedness , infamy , and misery , by the debauchery and proflgate extravagance of the rich ) , would be fit subjects if they could read and write , whilst the real , useful , and industrious man , whose labour furnishes bread and beef to the sapient editor himself , must , forsooth , be deprived of a vote , because he does not come up to the standard of Whig scholastic perfection . If it were not for the intelligence and industry of these men , the whole nest of hornets who prate about the ignorance of the people would have to pass through the streets in a state of nakedness ; and by a law which , in their wisdom they

      have made , they would , every mother's soul of them , be removed to a treadmill as a common nuisance . So' much , thrn , for the nostrum of the editor of the Manchester Times ! It is for us . fellow working ruen , to adhere with firmness and Unflinching integrity to the People ' s Charter , as the only sheet anchor of our hope—as the only means of rescuing our common country from that disgraceful state of colonial vassalage to which the ignorance , the wickedness , and imbecility of the rich and educated classes are bringing as with such fearful strides . Be not led astray by either this man or the other , unless he will give justice to every man who labours honestly for the maintenance o £ himself and family . The Whigs are at this time shuffling , and trying all manners of scheme * to weau the minds of the people from the Charter ,

      and would do anything sooner than concede that measure to the working classes . But give ua the Suffrage , and we will save the ship from sinking ; but without it , it does not require the foresight of a prophet to predict that this country will Binjt down to the miserable condition of our much-lamented sister , Ireland . The lecturer eat down' amid the acclammations of the assembly . _ The following resolution was then read and sub putted to the meeting . Resolved , — " That this meeting do , individually and collectively , demand the restoration of . Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also , that this meeting do hereby give them their hearty co-operation to th » general committea of Birmingham for that desirable object . " Moved by Mr . Leech , and seconded by Mr Murphy . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer The voluntary subscription amounted to £ 2 83 . 2 d .
