      need now entertain no fears ; while the boldest wffl , of necessity , acqnire fresh Tigour , from the fact of every thing , wbieh was mpposed illegal in the constitution and government of that association , being bo modified and altered , as to bring it perfectly within the law . This your Delegates Mare exertsd their utmost powers cf discrimination and prudence to accomplish : we believe that we have accomplished it ; and , believing that we have done so , and , knowing the importance of a universal mod » , as well as a universal principle of action , we call now upon yon , the Chartists of Great Britain , to rally round and enrol yourselves as members of Ui 8 National Charter Association of Great Britain , as one chief means of securing the enaction of that measnre of universal rights—the People ' s Charter .

      Your redemption is in yonr own hands . We earnestly entreat you to maintain your position , and to tak » continual steps in * advance . We feel grateful for the manner in which you have proved to the factions , at their own meetings , that they can do nothing without yon ; and that without yoar aid all progression must cease . Bat it is not enough that you fight and defeat the factions on their own grounds—not enough that you negative their movements—it is incastbeni upon yon to do sometaiBg positive . Many of you oppose the common enemy , but take no active steps to arxmrpliah jouf country *! freedom . You eater sot the AasodaJfon—you subscribe not to the funds —« ftd seldom eves attend the public meetings devoted exclusively to the people " a freedom . This must not be . Svery man must be found at his post , instant " in season and out ef tx ison ; " strengthening the bands of hia brethren , and seeking to make converts of bis neighbours .

      Ysu feel the distress which prevails ; your own wants , and those of your families , many of you cannot supply ; your neighbours sad friends are each day falling into a state of deplorable misery ; and yet , with every power to prevent it , you allow thia state of things to be perpetuated . But there are hopes of better doi n gs , and worthier actions . We have long , too long , been split into factions . Let factions sink ; and stand erect as men . Unite . ' unite ! and the eauce of justice will be gained . From the amended plan of organisation , which we present humbly unto you . you will perceive that the Executive Committee of the Association will shortly be elected , and commence their labours ; and from the balance sheet of toe Provisional Ex . ; utive you will perceive , also , that immediate provision must be made for their sustenance . We trust we need not urge this subject further . You will of couwe provide , and that ins' -intTy , far tho& 3 ~ whoss time sod labour are devoted to your service . The condition of the incarcerated victim * of oppression kai occupied , in part , the attention of your delegates . We find test yon hare , in many eases , acted nobly by them—to those instance ? of national feeling we point with pride and satisfaction , and we exhort yon not to slacken your exertions . Friends and Fellow Countrymen , —The Issue la with you . Success lies right before you . Onward and succeed ; defeat , discomfiture , and ruin , are behind ; retreat and you encounter them . Let union , prudence , and determination , be inscribed upon your banners , and the victory is safe , Force your enemies to feel , and tout friends to see , that your steps tend always , and unswervinjly , to the one po ' nt of universal libertyliberty without limitation , to the full extent of rightwithout qualification other than the form and energies of manhood ; and that which is thus consistently and unitedly sought after by a wbo 5 e people shall be obtained .

      GLORIOUS DEFEAT OF THE WHIGS AT YORK ! TRIUMPH OF CHARTISM ! On Thursday and Friday evenings , the Whigs held meetings , sA , the Merchants' HaU , Fossgats , for the purpose of expressing their approval ot Lord John Rusrell ' s Registration Bill for England , and the disapproval of Lord StanUys Bill for Ireland , and in support of the Bill of Lord Morpeth for Ireland . Th * first meeting was for Walmgate , Mieklegate , and Cartfegate Wards ; and may be fairly stated as a hole-and-oomer meeting , as the town was not placarded . On Friday , it got to the Chartists' ears , and a number of them accordingly attended , the Hall being crowded to excess . About eight o ' clock , H . R . Yorke , Esq ., the candidate for the forthcoming election , arrived , attended by C . H . Elale y , Esq ., the recorder , Geo . Leemaa , Esq ., Captain Taylor , and most of the influential men of the Whig party ; the Recorder being called to the chilr .

      Mr . Peahce , editor ot the Yorkshireman , the pretended unmasker of Chartism , moved the first resolution , in favour of Lord John Russell ' s Registration Bill , which he accompanied with a number ot remarks , praising the Whigs and calling the Tories . Hia speech did not produce much effect upon his auditors . Mr . Smith seconded the motion , in a short speech . The motion was put and carried . Mr . H . R . ToRKE next came forward , and in the coarse of bis speech praised Lord John Russell ' s measure , and abused Lord Stanley ' s;—he declared himself an independent man , standing up for no party but one , the people , and was the next moment lauding their enemies .

      Mr . Hardm an proposed the next resolution , in favour of Lord Morpeth's , and against Lord Stanley ' s measure . He occupied himself with proving the gallantry of our troops in shedding the blood of many whom tbey bat never seen or known before . The tokens of disapprobation from the Chartists soon put an end to his cold-Hooded speech . Mr . Geo . Leeman , solicitor , seconded the resolution in a long speech . The Chairman was about to put the motion , when Mr . Edward Borlet , a working man , got up , and was received with tremendous applause . After pointing out the shuffling of the previous speakers , relative to the Suffrage Question , be proposed the folio wine : —

      " That this meeting is of opinion that the Registration Bill for Ireland , brought into Parliament by Lord Stanley , is tyrannical in Uje extreme ; and regrets that it is sanctioned by so many English Members , which fully demonstrates , that no justice is to be expected for the people of this kingdom fr « m the House of Commons , &s at present constituted , until the people get controul over its Members , by the extension of the Suf age to aU men twentf-one rears of age , of sane mind , and unconvlcted of crime ; and pledges itoelf never to rest content until we are fully and fairly represented upon the aforesaid principle . " ^ he reading of the amendment was received with gr + at cheering . ) The speaker then exhibited the failure of the Reform Bill , exposed the various acts of tfee Whigs in office , and commented upon Lord John Russell ' s Bill for the continuation of the Poor Law Commissioners at an expence of £ 60 , 850 per annum . He sat down amidst loud cheers .

      Mr . ChmblesStoakt , plasterer , rose for the purpose of seconding the resolution . He remarked that justice could never be expected from the House of Commons , until the people had a fair and uncontrolled voice in the election of Members of Parliament ( Applause . ) His opinion went thus far , that every honest man of twenty-one years ef age and upwards , of sound mind , and who had never been convicted of crime , shouM have a voice in the election of Members of Parliament ( Applausa ) Gentlemen might think it presumptuous of him , standing there that night with his moleskin coat on , before so many learned gentlemen with theii black coats on , to insist upon a fair hearing f « r the political rights of the people ; but be would tell these gentlemen who sat upon his right and upon his left , smiling

      under their top-coats and macintoshes , that if it was not for the carccte contained under the moleskin coat , thej would not be able to maintain tbeir position . Mr . Stuart referred to tae New Poor Iaw , and drew the attention of the people to Lord John Russell ' s bill , for the extension of power to the Commissioners for ten jean . The Poor Law itself was tyranny in the extreme —( applause )—&nd that bill was not to amend it;—( applause)—but to give power to the whipper-in to torture , for other ten years , the honest poor of tbe country , that unfoi innately came within the walls of his kenneL ( Cheers . ) Fellow working men , said Mr . Stuart , surrounded as I am with poor-law guardians , councillors , and attornies , and the influential gentlemen of the city of York , ft will be hard for me to remove off your minds , that which they nave Instilled into them , by their eloquence of speech and the power of their purse ; bat , I tell you , that you innst do your

      own work , and then you may rest assured that it will be well done . ( Applause . ) Prove that you are determined to do it to-night , by giving your support to tbe amendment for Ynivenal Suffrage . Tbe object of bringing yon here to-night is , that there is likely to be a dissolution of Parliament shortly ; hence there will be a spawn ef locusts coming to rally on your shoulders for support . Bat be swore , of the enemy ; do not let them enter yonr camp without they have your watchword , that is " Universal Suffrage and no surrender ; " and thus will you bs enabled to bid them defiance in their attempt to bring you into another political Whiggish snare , ( Load applause . ) After » number of observations on the conduct of the Whigs , the speaker concluded by saying—Be alive to your own duty , and have nothing abort of the whole Charter , Universal Suffrage , ami no surrender . ( Loud applause . )

      The Chairman then put the amendment , when a forest of hands was held up for it ; and on the original motion being put to the meeting , only a few bands were Held up for it . The result wa « received amid tumultuous cheering . Tb , * cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor , fer Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the Charter j and three groans for the Whigs .

      tTOTOBmoOE . —On Thursday evening last , a Pttbiio lecture w « d ^ ur «» d ia tbi ^ aoiaHD 8 titu tion , by Mr . Dean Taylor , on the principles or the People ' s Charter , to an attentive audience . Tbe lecturer showed the hypocrisy of the priesthood , ia their-eppositioa to ihe just demands of the people , in a Banner which called forth frequent applause . He made some very excellent observations on equality , which made a deep impression upon his audience , After the leoture . the following resolu-* loa *^ « wried , with one diasenting voice : —Resolved , " That this meeting aware , by sad experience , of the fetal effects of being led aw » y from the questiw of Universal Suffrage by parties agitating iocjioaaelkld Suffrage , abolition of the Cora Law , Hid ^ migttrty qaestfona * pledge jtanaebM to go for nothinf jhor t of the Peopled Charter , so as to secure to « fl a voice iu making the laws by which they are governed . "

      KIRXAIDT . —A meeting was held in the Union Chapel , here , on Tuesday , the 16 th instant , to form an association , something like the " Fox and Goose Club" in Leeds .- —At the recent election it was agreed , in consequence of ihe defeat of Dr . Bowring , that a committee of conference should be appointed , ot an equal number of electors , and non-electors , for the purpose of drawing up a Bet of resolution * to be laid before a public meeting . The present meeting was , therefore , the consequence of this arrangement . Mr . William Lockhart ( one of the Foxes ) was called to the chair , and opened the business . John Arthur then ro-e , and proposed the first resolution , as follows : — 'That as it was evident , that , co long as the industrious and middle classes remained in their

      present disunited state , the efforts of both parties , for the accomplishment of any great end in the work of Reform , are comp&raiiraly fruitless , it was , therefore , in the opinion of this meeting , highly desirable that both classes should be united together , for the purpose of concentrating their strength , and making a combined movement for the attainment ot their just rights , and all the beneficial effects , which must necessarily be the result of cheap and good government . " The speaker spoke in the true trimming style , and said the name " Cnartism" was become co unpopular (!) that it was absolutely necessary to change it . He concluded by vilifying the Chartist leaders and their press . Mr . J . Kilgorn seconded the resolution , which was carried . The Rev . Mr .

      Bain moved the next resolution , which included Universal Suffrage ; but it was kept at the further end of the string . He exoressed himself quite content with Household Su&rage , though , he said , he would go farther than this ; for he would like a Scottish Registration Bill , or anything , even to the sixteenth part of a farthing ! Mr . James Gird wood seconded the resolution , in a similar strain . Up to this period the meeting was quite cold and inanimate ; but Mr . James M'Ewen , a Chartist , then rose , and oroposed an amendment to the following effect : — "That having recognised the principle of Universal Suffrage , this meeting , therefore , agrees to throw all minor considerations to the winds , and to use their utmost exertions for the attainment of this most desirable objeot . " Mr . John Taylor seconded the amendment , and in the course of his remarks , combatted the usual fallacies of the opponents of Universal Suffrage , and showed that a union

      of the middle and working classes must be based on right principles , not upontime-servingexpedienoy . A discussion which lasted two hours followed , ia which the Household Suffragists showed that they retained all their hatred to Chartism and Chartists . The vote was taken for the amendment and resolution , when it appeared that the Chartists were in a minority , though a small one . The Chartists had not expected a majority , but determined to test the meeting ; and as soon as the vote was taken they lefsi * * { h ° Church was half emptied . Three tffher resolutions were moved , in accordance with the objects of the Household Suffragists . When the last resolution was carried , t » the effect that an association be formed , founded on the resolutions , and a committee appointed to frame regulations ; the meeting was very thin and tame ; and scarcely a score remained to give a vote of thanks to the chairman .

      WARRIN 8 TON . —The Chartists met as usual in their room on Sunday . After the routine business an animated discussion on the benefit to be derived from Universal Suffrage was holden ; Messrs . Webster , Richardson , Houghton , and others , taking part therein . Mr . Leech lectured , according to announcement in the Star , to a very crowded and attentive audience . There were some few of the middle class there , and what was most pleasing , Mr . Leech had the honour of having the deputy constable ' s attendance at the conclusion of the lecture , which gave general satisfaction . The chairman invited discussion , but no one accepted it . The meeting broke up after giving several hearty cheers .

      OTJSEBURN . —Mr . J . Mason delivered the first of a series of lectures in the School Room , Byker Buildings , on Sunday morning last , on the constitution of England , trance , and America . He appeared to give general satisfaction . At the conclusion of the lecture , the following resolution was carried : — "That this meeting is of opinion that the oondnot of the Government to that noble champion of the people , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for libel , is illegal , brutal , and cruel in the extreme , and unprecedented in the history of our country , and is calculated to bring the laws of the country int « contempt and disrepute ; and that this meeting pledges itself to use every legal and

      constitutional means in its power , to « ause an alteration to take place forthwith . " The secretary then informed the meeting that they had commenced a library to instruct the members , and called upon those present to enrol themselves as members , many of whom did so . The cause is going on gloriously here . After Dr . M'Douall ' s last lecture here , fourteen new members enrolled themselves , nine of whom were females . As it is the inteution of the Association to become agents of the Northern Star , any one who is desirous of taking the paper , can be supplied at the School Room above named , on Sunday mornings , and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings . The profits upon the eale will be expended in books for the library .

      Chartist Movekents im the West . —We are progressing gradually , but I trust surely , in the three towns , Plymouth , Devonport , and Stonehouse . The Fox and Goose Meeting has extended its influence even to this Whig , Tory , and priest-ridden district . The Devonport Independent is ratting ; he is almost a Chartist . It is evident Whiggery is in ^ e shade ; and I trust in God Chartism will soon be in the ascendant . Our souls ought to loathe and abhor the poor , little-minded , vindictive , imbecile , wretched , Jim Crowish , bloody-minded , hypocritical , humanity-mongering Whigs . I wish I cotrld see more spirit in the West ; but our germination is -evident . Cornwall , to which I am about to start , is beginning to be on the alert . Last

      Tuesday , I lectured at Plymouth on the various systems of Government . Our meeting was thinly attended , as two of the super blue-bottles stopped theorier , and would not let him announce the meeting , till the Mayor had Been the placard . The Mayor was not at home . But the old man met one of ike very magnificent , three-tailed , beak bashaws , who took the placard , and read it in . this Wise—O , Mr . Mead ! Who is Mr . Mead t Of Birmingham , ha ! What . ' ha must be » Chartist . No , you shall not cry it , Sir . This worthy sent two blue devil spies , in plain clothes , who entered the room without pay ; but they did not disturb us . Last night , we had a fsmons meeting here at Devonport , in Mr . Trenoun ' s School-room , which would not contain

      the people , yet it it holds between three and four hundred , amongst whom were a good sprinkling of the respectables ! who , by being jammed in , were compelled to listen to some very disagreeable truths . We got a board painted , and tent one of urpoor Chartist friends round the town with it . No one tried to stop them , though many made passing observations— Behold ! the men who have turned tbe world upside down are come hither also . " I explafeed the principles of the People ' s Charter , combatted , as well as my humble efforts would enable me to do it , the class-arguments

      against it—describing the villany of excdisivesand the sufferings of white slaves . Before my lecture on the five points , we gave out and » ung , M Loud roared the people ' s thunder ; " avid , after an address or lecture , which lasted two hems , we carried , without a dissenting voice , th « following motion : — "That this meeting pledged themselves , individually and collectively , to agitate with al their might , and never cease tUei ' v exertions an ^ the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . " Three cheers , and a Manchester hurrah ! for the Charter , and three groans for class tyrants and hypocritical parsons . —E . P . Mbajx '

      WOTTRAIW . —Mr . Leech paid us a visit on Thursday , the ICth inst ., accompanied by Mr . Butterworth , of Manchester , one of the newly liberated Whig victims . On arriving at the Assoeiation-room , Mr . Butterworth was appointed chairman . He said there was something very wrong Lomewhere or other , to cause the degradation and poverty now so prevalent among the industrious classes , and bomething must be done to alleviate the sufferings endured by what the high and middle class choose to term mere outcasts of society , nd concluded by introducing Mc-i *** "* wfio said he Mjut * d . * miiA + ~ niim * ucTTllien from the chairman ' s lips , and contended that there was a screw looce somewhere , which caused so much tvrannv to be

      exercised by snch a laay set of drones now in existence over the quiet , peaceable , and industrious classes pf this oommunrty . He entered at great length into the acts of tyranny practised by the cotton lords and their tools , upon a half famished half starved , and half clothed people . He then too ; a rapid view of the Corn Laws , and said he was a Repealer ; but , at the same time a repealer of all bad lawa . Mr . Leech contended that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the working classet , and contrasted the manufactures at home with thi * abroad , » cd showed the fcwnaKa of that . at home since 1825 , * id the decrease of wage * sine *

      that period . He likewise showed the increase o ? trade in foreign nations since the above period , where they were only manufacturing l , efl 0 bales of cotton at that time , and now manufacturing 300 , 000 in the year 1810 , and asked , wa < s it likely that suoh places , with their millions of inhabitants , were likely to give up their mannfactorv to grow corn for a mere handful of people t Mr . Leech then entered into several arguments in favour of the PeoDle ' s Charter , wh ' ch gave the-utmost satisfaction to the andienoe . After a vote of thanks to the speakers , aad good round of anphuate , the meeting separated , highly delighted witfa tbe evening ' s proceedings .

      NOTTINGHAM . —On Sunday evening last , an excellent lecture was delivered by Mr . Dorman , in Bethel Chapel , ia which he shewed up the enormities of the aristocracy , the impositions of the middle clais , and the blindnecs to their own interest , of those of the working class , who did not join the Chartists to obtain their long withheld , bat just and legal rights . On Monday , the 22 nd iftsi ,, there was a good muster of the Charter Association , it being the time for choosing a fresh council , which was appointed . The chapel in Rice-place , Barker-gate , is open every Sunday , from ten to twelve o ' clock in the forenoon for reading and discussion , where there is also a useful library . Donations of books will be thankfully received at tho chapel .

      CHESTERFIELD A BRAJttPTOK . —National Charter Association . —At the weekly meeting of the Council of the above Association , on Monday evening last , after the usual business was transacted , the secretary handed in 5 s . from three friends S , W , and Y , for which the society beg to return their thanks . The cards of membership are ready and can be had of the secretary at the place of meeting . The cause is progressing in this sinkhole of corruption ; our friends are in treaty for a room , which will be ready on Lady Day next ; when we have no doubt , with the aid of a lecturer , much good will be done , their motto still being , the " Charter and no surrender . "

      LEICESTER . —A meeting took place in tbe Town Hall last Monday night , which has once more proved the triumphant position of the Chartists in this borough . The meeting had been summoned to petition Parliament against the New Poor Law Bill , n pursuance of a requisition addressed to the Mayor . ; and two of the tail usually employed to get up mock agitations for a repeal of the Corn Laws , and all that sort of thing , took a principal part in it , one of them being in the chair , and the Other trying to make a speech . A petition was also read , but no one would , second it , because of its absurdly outrageous language , the terms in which it was couched being such as would have prevented any Member of the House of Commons from dreaming about presenting it t At length Mr . Burden proposed , and Mr . Swaine seconded , a petition declaring that until the People ' s Charter became law , no humane provision for the poor could be expected ;

      and requesting the House , therefore , to pasa a Bill whereby the Charter should become the law of the land . The proposition was received with acclamation . Groocock , who was in the chair , then immediately vacated , declaring he would not sign the petition on behalf of the meeting ; and his confrater , ruby-faced George , immediately took his hat and made off , amidst the laughter of the meeting . Mr . Seal was then voted to the chair , and Mr . Swaine proposed , and Mr . Nicholson seconded , that as Messrs . Easthope and Wynn Ellib , the Members for the borough , had thought proper to absent themselves from their placesj during the first and second readings of the Poor Law Bill , tbey be deemed unwor thy of the confidence of the operatives of Leicester , and Mr . Wakley be requested to present the petition to the House . This was also carried by acclamation , and the meeting broke up , after three cheers had been given for Mr . O'Connor , and three more for the Charter .

      Feargus O'Connor . —At the room in AH Saints Open , immediately after the meeting in the Town Hall , the following requisition to the chief magistrate of th « borough was unanimously agreed upon : —* ' To the Worshipful the Mayor of Leicester . —Sir , —We , the undersigned , most respectfully request you to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough , lor the purpose of memorialising Parliament in favour of the liberation of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., noT 7 a prisoner in the Castie of York , and subjected to treatment of the most undeserved and inhuman character . We are . Sir , &c . &o . "

Stewart , Esq ., at a late anti-parsonage meeting . " That day being the birth-day of Mr . Harney , a ball was given at the close of the lecture , as a token of the high estimation entemined by the Greenock Chartists of the invaluable services of that indefatigable patriot and never-tiring advocate of the eternal rights of man . By eight o ' clock the Hall was crowded , when Dr . Donelly w / " * elected chairman , who opened the proceedings in a short but neat and effective address . Mr . Harney commenced his lecture with giving a narrative of his recent arrest , at the

      instance of the notorious Mackgul Chrichton , and excited roars of laughter by his rioh mimicry and lashing of that half-daft , half-knavish champion of Presbyterian ascendancy . The lecturer next attacked the would-be M . P . for Greenock , P . M . Stewart , showing up the bigotry , intolerance , and usurpation of the Church of Scotland . Next Mr . H . reviewed the conduct of the Clergy generally , showing up their wicked support of despotism , the part they had played in promoting and encouraging the unjust wars in which the rulers of this country have been and are at the present time engaged . He contrasted Christianity , as taueht by its founder , and by its present ministers , as also the lives of the primitive ChristiauB , with those of our modem Saints . In satirising the "Slugs , " he gave ua a

      mock sermon upon " passive obedience , " which wa rich beyond compare , defying all power of descrip- ' tion . Mr . Harney ' a address was received throughout with the most enthusiastic and uproarious applause . —Mr . Thomson , Chartist preacher , proposed a tote of thanks to Mr . Harney for his talented exposure of the hypocrisy of the priesthood . Given with three cheers ; and the customary cheers having been given for the Welsh martyrs , j EWgas [ O'Connor , and the incarcerated patriots , Dr .

The Earl of Mount Edqecuxbe pat some questions on the subject of Mr . Snow Harris , and his plan for applying lightning conductors to the vessels of her Majesty ' s navy . The Earl of Minto stated that the Admiralty had written to Mr . Harris , admitting his title to compensation for the time which he had devoted to the subject , and for calling the attention of the Admiralty to the practicability of applying a well-known principle to bo important an end . The Admiralty , however , had added , that the sum demanded by Mr . Harris was unapproachable , and no answer had yet been received from that gentleman .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS

      Lord Sandon drew the attention of the Government to the calamitous shipwreck of the Governor Fenner , by which upwards 120 lives had been lest , and asked whether it was intended to bring forward any measure to prevent similar misfortunes hereafter . Mr . Laeotjcherr said that the authorities most competent to judge had been consulted , and the result was a belief that it would not be advieeable to apply the rule of the road to the sea , as respected the management of steamers . The debate ou the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill was then resumed by Mr . J . M . Gaskell , who said he thought the simple fact of Mr . Shell ' s rising to address the House from the Treasury bench , was a-sufficient justification for Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham in ^ abandoning tho present administration .

      Mr . Y . Stuabt contended that there was nothing in tbe present measure inconsistent with the Reform Bill . Col . Conolly would resist strongly a Bill like this , which went to perpetuate the empire of the Hon . and Learned Member for Dublin . Mr . Howard stated his belief that , in the first instance , Lord Stanley ' s Bill was popular throughout the country , but that its popularity vanished as the people became better acquainted with its provisions . Mr . Lascelles opposed the second reading of the

      Bill . Mr . Gisborne supported the second reading . Mr . Cholmondeley Opposed the Bill , and deprecated the idea that Hon . Members were to be acted upon by fear , or that they were likely to yield to the intimidation held out , that , in the event of a war , Ireland would be their weak point if thiB Bill were not passed . . ' Mr . M . J . O'Connell supported , and Mr . E . Tennent opposed the Bill . Mr . William Roche supported the second reading . Mr . Shaw said that the Irish Members were at presentrather t he representatives of numbers than of property , and the present Bill would carry that principle infinitely . farther , for which reasons he would rote against its second reading .

      Mr . O'Connell said that the existence of 4 , 009 , 000 of paupers in Ireland was of itself a sufficient answer to all that had been ever said in praise of Irish landlords . As to the Bill before the House , and that of the Noble Lord ( Stanley ) the people perfectly well understood'the objects of both ; they understood that one was to extend and the other to curtail the franchise , and if they found the Parliament of England supporting the latter measure , was it likely they would not feel deep dissatisfaction and difcantent ! The Hon . and Learned Gentleman alluded to the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders , and said it was never thought that

      they ought to be disfranchised until they began to act independently of their landlords . ( Hear . ) The Hon . and Learned Gentleman then proqeedti to show that though the noble lord repudiated population as a basis of the franchise in Ireland , he had adopted it in the Reform Bill for England , by which an increased number of representatives was given to those counties possessing the largest amount of population . In Ireland the franchise was going out—it was dying away—the landlords were extinguishing it , and he thanked the noble lord for rousing tbe people of Ireland to their danger , and giving them a timely summons to the field . The Hon . Member conoluded by calling upon the House to paB 9 the

      Bill . Sir R * Pkel , amidst the continued cheering of the House , condemned in the stron gest language the intolerent spirit displayed throughout the speech of Mr . O'Connell . The Right Hon . Baronet then proceeded to analyse the bill , which he contended was an utter destruction of the existing franchise , and an erection of a perfectly new one upon its rains . The Right Honourable Baronet then proceeded to quote from the evidence of Mr . O'Connell before tbe Lords' Committee , with a view to shew that _ it _ was the evidence of the Catholics themselves w *; ch had Bacrifiwd the 40 a . freeholders , Mr . O'Connell himself havine described them as the live stock . of an

      estate . The Right Hon . Baronet , before sittingLdown . called upon the Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) to declare if this principle of franchise was to be applied to England , for nothing could be bo injurious as to establish this precedent without making a public declaration that it was not to be considered or acted upon as a precedent for England . . v ' - Lord John Russell said that with respect to extending a similar franchise to- England , he must s ay that the cases were very difierent , and that of Ireland was so very peculiar , that he could scarcely conceive a possibility of a ease equally peculiar and equally stringent beinkeyer made out either for England orjAMttjBff XK 1 V At tho close of the Noble liOrWgSeJ ^ MfflBoase divided , and the numbers were— ^ *> ^ ^ g - * y y - ^ x Majority ........ ; j (! b ^^^ S ^^ 3 ^^ Vp \ Bill to be committed P" TTf ^ oWfili ^ if " V A H 2 dYUSM 3 tf
