TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS . CBICHTON M'GH . L AND THE 2 fO > " -I > 'IRU-81 ONISTS ROUTED AT DENNT . TJie rebel party of the Church of Scotland , named BOB-intmaoEigts , stirred another signal defeat , at Deijnyj on Wednesday eTenlng last On the Sunday previcus , the Rev . Mr . Dempster , of-the parish ot Jieony , pompously announced from , his puipit that a public meeting of the inhabitants of Denny would be held hi his church , oa Wednesday evening , to petition gainst patronage , and that Mr . Criebton M'Gill , a member of the aristocracy—a landed gentleman in Fife , would hononr the inhabitant * of Denny by . addressing the meeting . Daring the coarse of Mosday , some
uncertain rumours went abroad through the town that tie Chartists -were on the qtd vive ; and to prevent the tyranny of this troublesome set of vagabonds , aa they gee called , billa ware issued of a peculiarly siupid phraseology , to throw , as it were , a sort of . restriction orer the meeting , yet at the same tine to make it appear public . The meeting was called for seven < yclock , by which time a few dozen * of the more 8 topid Class of Tories , and the most fanatical members of Mi . Dempster ' s congregation , had assembled in the lower parr ot the church . There was aide a sprinkling at Duaenters . The galleries were crowded "with mrkies , with their " mole-skin jackets and blistered hands . "
A few mimutea after seven , the great Mr . M'Gill Vas ushered in , in company with the Reverend Mr . M-Calloch , the Reverend Mr . Bonner , the Rsverend Mi . B = ? sg , and the R jverend Mr . Dempster , ¦ who vary coolly walked into the chair . The meeting having been opened with prayer , Mi . M'Gill . -sraa introduced , and commenced his harangue , -which lasted about iwo hours . It would iDdeed be a profitless task , to give even an outline of the ht itrogeneoua mass of truth , falsehood , nonsense , and sophistry , which was spouted forth into the ears of the meeting by the big gun of the kirk . Hi made a most lawyer-like attempt to gull the Dissenters , and after enacting apiece of
Theatricalclaptrapj abont ths induction of Mr . Edwards into tbe parish of Maraoeh , he intimated that a petition would be read to the meeting , and concluded by a bombaetical exhortation fur every one to sign it , from the beardless boy to the grey-headed man , thai the Scottish Z . on might be r&sca&J from her perils , and God ' s living grace spread amongst the people , &c , 4 c , tc On the conclusion of Mr . M'Giil ' s oration , one of tbe Rev . Gentlemen on the Bench read a petition to Parliament against patronage , and praying for a repeal of tbe Act of Queen Anne . The monient ^ he petition was read , the Chair-mas rose to close tie meeting by prayer ; but , before-he could otter a -srord .
lit J . Jack , from Glasgow , rose and claimed the attention of the Chair , ai he had some remarks to make upon the lev-tore which had been delivered , and the question of Bon-intrusioa generally . Here commenced & stir- The Rev . Gentlemen on the bench stared up to the gallery in tie utmost trepidation , -while the fanatics below crowded together lie frightened sheep . The Chairman intimated that Mr . Jack would be heard after the blessing was pronsacced ; but this would not go down tritii the meetim , who insisted that Mr . Jack fiiould be heard . Mt . M'GUl , seeing dismay pictured In the countenances of his party , not one of whom could open their months , except to howl and bray , ifcood up in their defence . He wished to speak to Order , and insisted Mr . J ^ ei bad no right to speak , he
sot being a parishioner . To this itwasjuisweredj thit anther "vrm he , Mr . M'Gill , a resHenter in Decay parish .- iit jf « eiu affirmed that lie nr . d been in-Tited . by tbe mfaiUt « r , to wtica "Mr . Jack replied , that h-. hid been also invited to attend the meeting , a&cl by as good a man as the minister . Driven out of their position , it wis next asserted tfcat ths raoetipy -was sot public ; but there being numbers present who heard Mr . Dempster announce the meeting as public from the public , tins defence failed also . The next position , teken up was , that n * resolution had been , or was intended to be , submitted to the meeting . Mr . Jack replied that he intended to submit a resolution to the meeting , Mr . M'Gill now became perfectly furious , and
leap-Ing on the bench scat commenced abusing Mr . Jack 1 and the Chartists lite & fish-wife . Some of his party , with more strength of lunga than strength of judgment , commenced howling in the moet vigorous and praiseworthy manner , to which the Chartuis added an occasional cheer by way of chorus . Between ev « ry lull in the storm w « re heard broken ¦ enterics from 3 I& M'GUl . who stood all the time oa tbe t > snch seat with his coat buttoned , and hat coektsd fle « hr on the top of his head , stanping . and spattering forth foam at the mouth , threatening law , ordering a constable to mark Mr . Jack , and uttering such sentences as , " poor boy—ifnorant boy—go to school—go home to year mammy—impudent puppy—ineoknt Intrusionist—physical-force man—blackguard Chartists —tyrannical vagabonds—lowwretctws—ecuiaofs-.-eJety " —and many other equally dii-nified and gentlemanly
expressions , whieh showed him to be a . once a true specimen of what hi * friend , Mr . Demc-ster , designated him , a member of the aristocracy . Things continued in this state for a considerable time , Mr . Jack occasionally getting an opportunity oJ tnroiriBg out a sentence or two , which again and again set Mr . M'Giil and the rest of the brutes who supported him , howling like irolvea . At last the gas was put out , and th » matting dispersed , the anti-patronage petition getting a few signatures , while many who went with the intention ol signing , shanged their miad when they taw the aondnct of M'Giil and his . brethren . The Char lists assembled outside and cheered again , and again fur the Garter , and groaned for the i * on-Intrjsionist 3 , and the KbeUioos dergy of the canreh of Scotland . The anembly quietly dispersed , after resolving to br > ld a public meeting the following evening . —Scottish Patriot .

not all Chartists already , that th « y would become bo before the meeting serrated . The company then joined in singing the 133 rd Psalm . Addresses were aftetuiards delivered by Messrs . Blunders , London ; Thomson , teacher , Kettle Bridge ; Crockatt , Markinch ; Berwick , Fruchie ; and M'Leen , Beith , Ayrshire , known also as the "MoorT&nd Minstrel . " The whole of the speeches were of the most patriotio and oolstirring nature , breathing forth the spirit of pure and genuine liberty , &s contained ia the Charter . The abuses and corruptions of misgovernment were laid bare in all thair naked deformity , and some of the most concJosiveand philosophical arguments brought forward in favour of Universal Suffrage we have ever beard . Several of the speakers , particularly Mr . Crockatt ,
denounced the shameless conduct of the clergy in no measured terms . He described the Established Chvrcb as a gigantic sjBtem of legalised ecclesiastical robbery , nor were tbe voluntary clergy , be thong ht , much better ; for they were , in general , u determined enemies of the Tights and liberties of the people , and treated tbe sons of labour , by whom they ware supported , with as great contempt as the most aristocratic bierarch . Such conduct he thought , on their part , « M most unsufferable , as most of them were the tons of poor , bardworking men—nay , many of themselves had tolled nt the loom , or the workshop ; and to turn round and treat the class from which they had sprang with such superciliousness was nost abominable . Mr . Crockatt was at times most enthusiastically applauded . Between
the speeches , Mr . J . Hailey gave xa some of his most choice recitations , which he performed In his usual felicitous manner : eomie songs were also sung , ia a hnppy style , by Messrs . Grant , Fruchie , and Casteflo , Kettle . Altogether , this was one of the must enthusiastic and obJy conducted meetings we have ever seen ; the company testifying no signs of impatience , though they sat upwards of four boors . At the conclusion , votes of thanks were awarded to the speakers , stewards , and to the Chairman , for bis able eondact throughout toe evening . Three caters were tben given for the CLtrter , three for Lovett and Collins , three for O'Connor aud the imprisontd Chartists , and three for Frost , "Wil'iams , and Jones , when the company made way to join in the merry danca .

" Shortly after Seven O ' clock , the W < 11 ¦ was cro-wded in eTery part , and the windows were opened for the bsnefl ; oi those caiside .
Mr . > iel Mcnbo being called to the chair ,-said he was very sorry their choice had fallen upon him , for although , willing , in many respect * , to aid the caase of liberty , he did not consider his abilities sueh as to entitle him to preside over that meeting . The occasion of their meeting this evening was to demonstrate their Wish for their natural rights , and to assist in the removal of their grievances in a legal and constitutional msnaer . ' He trusted that to proceeding wooM take place such as had disgraced the meeting in the church on the previous evening . That wis a meeting called for self-interest , for the interest of a few to -the exclusion of the majority—( cries of the black coats ;—but the present one embraced the interest , the rights , and the liberties of &LL The non-intrusionists -were afraid of discussion , while the Chartist * courted it in the most open manner . He invited all to fre « discussion , and coneluiiad by introducing ilr . Jacfe , from Glasgow .
Mr .
