Tie meeting was numerously attended , notwithstanding the inclemeBcy of the weather . Upoa the motion of Mr . Boss , Mr . Cullen was called to the chair , who opened the business of

      the meeting ; after which , the lecturer rose , and in & clear , convincing manaer , and in a strain of natural eloquence , grasped with a master mind the attention , of his auoienoe , while he handled the various topics of his discourse io a way that mast hare told home to the most obtuse intellect . His description of the miseries of tie working classes was truly heartrending . He concluded by reading a copy ot rules , which , after a few words from Mr . M'Farlane , was unanimously agreed to , and a -Committee of fifteen directors appointed . A vote of thanks to the lecturer and Chairman was then given , when , the meeting dispersed .

      Labour , " which subject he handled most ably and eloquently . At the conclusion , three cheers were given to the Doctor , three for Feargns O'Connor , and three groans for the police . The sum of 4 s . 2 d . was collecied , in aid of those parties who were injured at Castle Douglas . Our correspondent adduces som = very base instances of the a « vempi 4 of certain individuals of the middle classes to prevent the Chartists getting a tooju . They succeeded in &a first instaaefe , but , we are happy to say , they failed in the second ; for the Chartists ha ' ve taken a room for twelve mouths .

Mr . il Yaulty was elected chairman , stated the object of the meeting , eulogised Mr .

Iu the course of his address , he said , let not his Lord-. sirip deem himself competent to stop the current se : in . The attempt is vain .

The past dees not more surely indicate a period when errors now discarded were rife , than that the present , improved

      and corrected relatively to the past , will be as unceremoniously and certainly changed , reformed , and eventually improved . —Mr . Bairstow continued at . great length , in an eloquent and impassioned fiirain , which produced a most marked aad powerful effect on ths audience , ilioatratiBg as be proceeded the truth and beamy of the principles of' . he Charter , and dwelling upon its results upon the Eocial and political condition of the people . A vote of thanks to the lecturer wa 3 carried by vociferous acclamation ; after which the Chairman briefly addressed ihe meeting , which then separated apparently edified with the evening ' s treat .

It was unanimously agreed that we henc * forth send jot insertion in the Star our fortnightly meetings . It was also proposed by our respected treasurer , Mr . Williams , and carried unanimously , that a debating ¦ class be formed for the purpose of encouraging Vaanist talent , < 5 cc . Measures were immediaieiv taken for the carrying out the resolution . A discussion afterwards easued respecting a letter which appeared in the Wortesler Chronicle of list week , porportiae to be sent from the Council and signed Biehard Wilson . A reply Wamost foul znd unwarrantable attack of the Worcester Herald had been .

      forwarded to the Editor oi tne Chronicle , who proaaised to give it insertion ; and the Couneil of ' the Chartists , knowing the two parties were at loggerheads , thought of course it was aU right ; but to their ntter-astonishment this reply was cut and mangled in such a horr id manner , ( although at the fame time , this editor says he has an ** innate horror of injustice , ") that it scarcely conld be recognised by us ; therefore it was deemed requisite an explanation fihonld be given in the Star of next week for the eatfefaction of our C&artist friends , ( in the shape of aa sddre&s &o ^) and our social friends , who have been so kind as to lend us their room to meet in , Sec . £ We have received the address , in which our Char-Bit friends do ample JHStiee to both their opponents .

      feliow-creatures within the boundaries of England are perishing for want of food . " " That this meeting is determined to abide by the Charter , as the only meius of obtaining a redre-s of grievances , whether they be religious or seoular ; at the same time , it calls open D ; ssea : « rs to leave the Pope 3 of the nineteenth century , and think for ibemselve 3 .

      3 RIGHTOK . —I write in haste , to inform you of a glorious triumph of the working men of Brighton orer the treacherous middle classes . A town meeting was held on the 1 hh inst ., in the Town Hall , the High Constable in the chair . The meeting was called for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature ag&inst the introduction of a clause in the New Poor Law Bill , now before the House , which would give power to the Commissioners of Somerset House to take supersedure over all places having local acts . Brighton being among the number , a meeting was thought fit to bo held , to petition against the clauses giving the Commissioners the power to interfere . The first resolution was proposed , secondc J , and carried , without one dissentient ,

      being of a mere local character ; but , on the appearance of Mr . "Woodward to propose a resolution , an attempt waajnade by the factious to pnt him down , hut he wa 3 made of too stern stuff . A gallant Whig ( 31 ajor Allen ) urged that he had risen first , but the meeting was in no disposition to be humbugged ; Woodward they wouli have , and the old soldier sounded the retreat . Oue victory attained , another was certain . Mr . Woodward lashed the vagabonds in black preity tidily ; Mr . Allen followed in the same route , that made the leilows wish themselves at home in their drawing-rooms , at the wine table . Mr . Reeve—the much-persecuted William Reeve—supported the resolution ; it was so worded , that neither Whig nor Tory could carp at it ; it was

      put to the me . ting ( thou&u . not very -willingly by the Chairman ) and carried amidst tremendous applause . Thus ended a second victory ; but anoiher wa 3 to be gained ere the business for which the Chartists had met could be concluded , and that was , the adoption of the petition founded on the resolution ; and right merrily and nobly did the working men support their friends on the platform . Major Allen moved the adoption of a petition against the bill being so worded as would give the Commissioners power to supersede local acts : it was seconded by J . N . Wiguey , E ? q . Mr . Reeve was on his legs in a twinkling , with an addenda to the pe ' . itioH , " declaratory of the abhorrence of the

      Poor Law , and ail other laws that press on the industry of the people ; and that no redress of grievances would be granted till t ' h 3 people had the right of electing their own representatives , and making them responsible to the nation . " This wa 3 a stinger for them . It was seconded by Mr . Alien , supported by MessrB . Woodward and Colling ; ana ior neariy two hour 3 the scene was indescribable . The middia men , the aristocracy , and the impartial Chairman , could not allow such a thing to take place as sending a petition from sach an aristocratic town as Brighton for Universal Suffrage ; but so it happeneu , in spite of all their trickery aad " sophisticated humbug . The Chairman said he couid not allow Mr . Reeve's resolution to be

      embodied ia their petition , aad did not think he could receive it . Bat he iiad dons it , and was made to stand by it ; and was on ths point of patting it to the me =:: n ^ , when he was completely fiabergisted , by Mr . Woodward rising to propose another amendment , in tho shape of a u ' jjle amended petition . Mx . Colling seconded it . Mr . Retve withariw his resolution , and supported the amended petition ia a speech of some length , concluding amidst loud cheers . A question then rose as to how the sense of the mefciisg should be takin , ' Divide ! divide 1 " echoed from all quarters ; the Chairman then appointed tellers . Un the part of Mr . Woodward ' s petition , Mr . Reeve was appointed , and oa the part of Major Alien's petition , Mr . Bowdidge was appointed . He theu ordered the room to be halved ; a line of forms were then placed across the Hall , and Ui-i meeiing divided ; the scene was animating . The haif that contained the working men was scarcely

      large enough to contain them , while the half that contained the aristocrats and their time-serviuK slaves , the trade .-men of Brighton , was not halt occupied . The chout that followed was loud and long—it echoed auaiu aud again throughout the lefty aad noble building . The Chartist petition was cairied , when the Chairman rose and declared the meeting dissolved ! but , not so with the Chartists . Mr . Alien proposed , aud Mr . Page seconded , that Mr . Woodward take the chair . Mr . Allen then proposed that the petition , as submitted by Mr . Woodward , be adopted . Mr . Colling seconded it ; aud again was it put , and triumphantly carried . Three cheers were given for the Charter ; three for Fearsus , iha "lion , " and all imprisoned victims ; three fur Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three groans—most awful—for the '" base , bluody , and brutal Whigs . " A vote of ihaaks was presen ; ed to Mr . Woodward , and the meeting dissolved , siaging the first verse and chorus of the Marseilles Hymn . —Correspondent .

      HAWICK . —The Rev . Mr . Gray , and D . M . M'Giil Crichton , E = q ., delivered two lectures on lay patronage , in the Subscription Rooms here , oa Wednesday evening , the iOth iust . The meeting , which was pretiy numerous , paid the greatest attention to the speakers , and testified , by their applause , their concurrence with many of the sentiments and opinions expressed by them , especially by M'Gill Criehton , who ( so far as the Church wad concerned ; delivered an excellent Chartist lecture . "After the close of his address , Mr . Crichton read a petition to both Houses of Parliament , for the total abolition of patronage , which he wished the meeting to adopt and sign . Mr . John Rutherford , salesman , opposed the petition , oa the ground that it did not to far

      enough , and moved an amendment , praying for a separation of Church and State . Mr . Picfcard Harris had no objections to Mr . Rutherford ' s amendment , but proposed another , to the effect , that this meeting considers no effectual remedy for the evils of patronage will erer be produced onuf Universal Suffrage becomes the law of the land . Mr . Crichton then took the sense of the meeting on both amendments conjointly , when a forest of hands were held up for them . Oa a show of hands being taken for the petition , only seven bands were held np for it . The only vexatious thing was , thai Mr . Buiherford

      eoald not conscientiously Tote for his own amendment . What a pity I It is satisfactory to etate , that the whole proceedings were conducted in a peaceable and orcerly manner , and that not a single disrespectful expression escaped the lips of any who took part in the business . Give but the public fair play , as Mr . Crichton did , and we will never hear a word of disorderly meetings . It is bat justice to Mr . Crichton to say , that he distinctly denied being to blame for Julian Harney ' s arrest ; on the contrary , he used his influence to prevent it .

This lady was the widow of the celebrated Maurice Margarot , who was one of the delegates of the Lohdoa Corresponding Society to promote Parliamentary Reform , to the British Convention , in 1793 ; he was triod and expatriated by the Scotch Court of Justiciary to Nonr South Wales for a period of fourteen years . She

      heroically accompanied him to that , at that time , inhospitable colony : and remained during his protracted exilo of sixteen years , and returned with him to this country in 1810 , broken in fortune and greatly impaired in health . Margarot was the only one of the five Scotch martyrs , Gerald , Muir , Palmer , aud Skirviug , who lived to revisit his native land .
