This money is called the Annaa ! ©* ConneIl Tribute and " is . Terr much wanted at " present , to sustain him in office , as Governor of the National Bank of Ireland , and

      principal of the CConnefl Teetotal Brewery . There are many persons in England raider the impression thit Mr .

England . Ua ' t this application was indignantly and scornfully refused . The want of Mr . Shaman Crawford ' s Irish Landlord stfd Tenant Bill is trafortonately beginning to manifest iteelf , in the shooting of seme heartless lmdlords , who have tamed ont their tenantry without any compensation fer the houses they built , or the waste lands they reclaimed . This is what the Right Hen . Richard Lalor Sheil calls " wild justice . ' — Correspondent . . . . Thb Ibish UxrvEssu . SmrraAGE Associaxio

      seld their usual meeting on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Anne-street , Mr . William Woodward in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting ; he also Tead letters frcm Mr . T . Clarke , of Stockport , and from Mr . A . Bairntow , of X > rvjlsdea Manchester , both letters terrifying the good disposition the people of England hare towards their suffering brethren in Ireland , and giving a melancholy account Of the . condition of the working classes , and proving that nothing short of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter can remedy this present wretched coadition . —Mr . OTirggins rose and read a letter requesting him to propose as members of the Irish Universal Sufirage Association , three mo ? t respectable freeholders of the county of Longford . Mr . James H ^ yes moved'the admission of Mr . Walter Fortune and Mr . William Winters . Mr . Wood rose and

      said , that he had been lately to Scotland , and ha i there seen , the great friend of the productive-classes , Feargns O'Connor , and had learned from that gentleman that when he had made his tour of Scotland , he would visit M his dear native land . " Mr . O'Connor was everywhere except at the Corn Exchange acknowledged to be the working ms-. * B friend ; and it was because ne advocated those principles which » Jone can » meliorate their present aiTd future condition that he was maligned and hated by the enemies of public liberty . Mr . Wood went into a lueid statement of facts , respecting the conduct of Mr . O'Connor and his disinterestedness , which called forth the " plaudits of the meeting . " Mr . Wood concluded a most effective speech by moving that

      Feargu 3 O Connor , Esq ., be admitted . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Dyat rose and said , it was with peculiar pleasure he seconded the motion of Mr . Wood . It was rather anomalous that Mr . O'Connor should be the leader of the miillioas of Englishmen and Scotchmen , and as yet without a place in their association . He was surprised how any Irishman could be so blinded by " prejndice as not to see with adzairaticn their fellow countryman so grounded in the confidence , and so high in the estimation of ihe" people Of Great Britain . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . O Connor was as yet impeccable as a patriot ; he . had neither accepted any thing for himseif , nor provided for his connexions , as others h& 3 done . All he h * d gat was abuse , persecution ,

      aid s most severe and unjust imprisonment . His energies , however , seemed only strengthened , and he was now strenuously engaged in a work the most magnificent , as well as the most virtuous , which it ever fell to the lot of man to perform—the political elevation and moral enlightenment of the people . Other political leaders had sought , and were seeking , changes for the' benefit of classes , but Mr . O'Connor straggled for the people . He sought to effect i junction with the Irish Repealers . Woe to th <^ e , said Mr . Dyot , who abused the influence bestowed on them by a credulous and confiding people , m > prevent such junction . ( Hear . ) But Mr . O'Connor should learn that there were- in Ireland men who were too acnte-to be deluded or deceived ;

      who appreciated the aid proffered by the Chartists of Great Britain , and were ready to make common cause with those with whom they bad- common interests . ( Hear , hear . ) Taeir association wag rapidly ramific&tnig through the country , and every meeting day new members were enrolled . The expositions made in that zoom were so lucid as to carry conviction to any man not obstinate ! j adverse to truth and good sense . He hoped the day was not far distant when they should have a press in Dublin to represent them ; then would this Association advance and astound and confound the enemies of the productive classes , whose interests alone onght to ba agitated for by , at least , those whom they pay . He was proud to be instrument *! in

      affording their fellow-countryman this mark of their sympathy , respect , and confidence ; and he had no doubt they would admit Mr . O'Connor with acelamauon and cneers . Mr . Wood again rose and said , he had another Irishman to propose for admission , ¦ an Irishman , though in an humble sphere , was distinguished in the country in which he resided for his irJl'xible integrity , sterling patriotism , and great talent , Mr . Con Murray , the nailor , member of the Lanark Uairersal Suffrage Association . ( Great cheering ) Mr . James Hayes claimed the honour as r . brother chip , of seconding the admission of Mr . Murray . Mr . Michael M'Qaaid , of Liverpool , was admitted a member ; after which he was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated .

      PRESTON . —On Monday evening last , a very numerous and respectable meeting was held in the Chartist Room , ATenbam-street , to take into consideration the alarming state of the country , with a view to some efficient remedy , and the adoption of a petition to Parliament , expressive of the wants and wi * hes of the meeting . Mr . R . Walton being unanimously called to the chair , opened the meeting by observing that he hoped every one would be heard with patknee . whatever mi ^ ht be bis political opinions . —Mr . £ . Swindlehurst then rose , and in a Terj energetic speech pointed , out the unjust power of class legislation , its consequences upon the rights of kbonr , and the inevitable destruction it caused to the happiness of the country , and- moved the

      folio wicg resolution-: — "That ; in the opinion of this meeting , the alarming distress that prevails through our once happy land , and most of the evils that afflict society , is caused by class legislation ; and bemg convinced that taxation , without representation , is tyranny , we hereby pledge ourselves to united and unceasing exertions to obtain the People ' s Charter as a means of preventing future abuses iu alt oar institutions , raising the productive classes to their proper position in society , and by thus removing cause for discontent , enable all to live in peace and eomfort . " Mr . J . Murphy seconded the resolution , and made some excellent remarks on the objects ot faction and party who had endeavoured to direct the attention of the wording classes from their agitation

      for the Charter , and concluded by advising them to join no agitation , short of the one thing needful , the People ' s Charter . Mr . R . Marsden was then introduced to the meeting , and for upwards of an hour , ma . de a withering exposure of our present system of G-aTcnunent , « bich patronised extravagance , profligacy , and injustice ; showed op the monopoly of the land , cnurch , army , navy , and the whole paraphernalia of the system . He then explained , in » masterly manner , the five points of the Charter , and the necessity of their adoption ; and implored his hearers to make another determined , legal , and constitutional struggle for their long-lost rights , without which their situation would never be better . A person in the body of the meeting then rose , sad commenced & rery lengthy address upon the evils of tha Corn Laws . He was listened to with great patience a considerable time , on til he commenced telling his hearers there w « s do

      hope in carrying the Charter , and advised them to join- the middle classes for a repeal of tbe Cora Laws . A scene of confusion then arose , when the Chairman wished to know if the person who had last addressed them had any amendmeut to propose against the resolution ; for be coaoenved that , having bow occupied a considerable portion of the tine of the meeting , and it being now getting late , he ought , in courtesy for those who bad to attend the call of the factory bell , early in the morning , detist from his present proceed'Dg on this occasion , except he had a decided object in view . Mr . Odleum then rose , and informed the meeting that if there . were any persons in the room who entertained the opinion that an agitation for the re-J »« i- « f SSfCorn Laws was preferable to an agita .-tterfor ttos-CWter , he would meet them in di-custion , ifi £ i fkc iea . ve of the Council , on Sunday evening next . This proposition appeared to give leaersa aaiiafieuon ; and the anti-Corn Law party

      KEXGHLCTT . —Eabter Dues . —On Thursday last , the sale of the goods forcibly taken from the houses of Mr . D . W . Weatherhead and Mr . Wm . Rhodes , for Easter dues , came off at the entrance of the Market-place . The nnsual spectacle of a minister of the gospel , in the receipt of upwards of £ 1000 per annum , being reduced to the necessity of seizing and selling his poorer neighbour ' s goods by force , caused a serkras sensation , and by one o ' clock , the time of sale , vbont two thousand perBonB bad collected on the spot to . witness the exhibition . After waiting impatiently about an hour , the goods were at last conveyed to the place by a posse of those modem apostles of the church , auctioneer , bum-bailiffs and constables .

      The appearance of these fellows with the plunder of honest and industrious people ' s houses in their hands , was too much for the crowd to boar , and a scene of tumult and confusion immediately commenced that baffles all description . A volley of groans and execrations was commenced and continued for about an hour , which entirely drowned the voices of the auctioneer and his assistants . At the exhibition of any of the goods , a pressure commenced that made it rather difficult for the salesman and his friends to keep their legs , duiib g ; one of which . Sugden , the deputy constable , commonly called ** Sweet Tit , " was prostrated full length on the clock case . This temporary downfall of the great man , which some say was owing to his being drunk , broke tbe case and placed him for a short time at the tender mercies of the feet of the crowd , which , by bis account .

      paid frequent complement to his legs and person . He and his party , however , seemed determined to effect a Bale at all hazuda * and after exponng the goods till the clock case was broken in pieces , and the mahogany table broken in two ; they were disposed of at the following prices : —The bead of the clock , which together with the case was worth £ 3 went off at 13 i ; the mahosany table , 10 s . ; and the fragments of the clock case and writing desk , 2 * . ' 7 d ;—Sugden buying the two last lots himself , as nobody else seemed inclined to bid . This mark of clerical vengeance , which has destroyed several pounds worth of property , to recover two shillings of an imposition called Easter Dues , has by no means answered the Rectors purpose , as the same determination not to pay still exists .

      HUDDEBSFISXiD . —Hiohwat Robbery . — On Tuesday evening last , Mr . George Turnbull , teadealer , while returning home on the Leeds road , was stopped by two men , and , after being knocked down and his mouth stopped , was robbed of twopence halfpenny . The thieves were disturbed by the arrival of Mr . Beaumont , whom Mr . Turnbnll had only a short time previously parted from , or it is probable their booty might hwe been larger . BHADFOKD . —Impudent Robbkry—On Friday evening last , about seven o ' clock , two lads , about sixteen years of age , entered the shop of Mr . Hardcastle , Little Horton , and took a cheese weighing about twenty pounds , and a bladder of hog ' s lard , with which they got clear off . Mr . Hardcasue came out of the house and saw them going across tbe road , but did not know his loss till they had made their escape .

      Great Horton . —Tbe monthly meeting of the Chartists of this place was held in their room , West Croft-fold , on Monday evening , the 15 th inst , at eight o ' clock , Mr . Joseph Brook vas elected to the chair , who briefly opened the meeting , and called on Mr . Edward * to address them . His lecture was principally on the evils of the State Church . He also gave th « Dissenters a severe castieation , particularly the Methodist parsons , and concluded by pointing out the " People ' s Charter" as a remedy for all their grievances . Mr . Arran was then called upon , and appealed to them

      as A reading and thinking body of men and women ; he made a manly and feeling appeal to them on the misery , starvation and wretchedness of the labouring population of Bradford and its vicinity ; and of the industrious poor throughout England . He then glanced at the conduct of tbe Whigs , and the agitation for the Reform Bill , and ably exposed their hypocrisy , vlllany , and treachery towards the working millions . He exhorted all present to join the National Charter Association . The meeting then separated greatly delighted with the lectures .

      PUBLIC MEETING .-BRONTERRE O'fiRIEN . ¦¦¦ ¦¦ :., . . - A public meeting was held on Friday evening , at the Working Man ' s Hall , Circus-street , Marylebone , to h « ar an address from tha Irish patriot , Bnmterre O'Brteii . i '" - : ¦ ¦ , ¦ . - ¦ -:. , . ¦; * - ¦¦ . ¦¦ ¦ : " Mr . Naole was called to the chair , and in a brief and pithy manner opened the proceedings . ' Mr . Savage , in an appropriate speech ; moved the adoption of the following address to her Majesty the Queen : — : *

      "Ma ^ tLBASE TOUR MAJESTY , —We , mo « respectfully tender ! to your Wlnjesty ouir congratulations on your safe delivery from the perils of nature , and on the auspicious birth of a son , destined in all probability to be the future ifeibg of these Realms ; while we , In common with the other classes of society , do rejoice in the hope that this event may prove a blewlng to the nation , we earnestly desire that your Majesty may be pleased t « mark this happy occasion by the exercise of mercy to the political prisoners now , under

      ptmiBhment for a "violation of the laws of this land . We humbly beg to assure your Majesty that the muchneglected , much oppressed , long-suffering , but very nnm ' erdus class of the community to which we belong , having to gain our livelihood by the individual exercise of oar labour , would hail the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native country , and the free pardon of all political offenders , as a boon never t « be forgotten , and would raise millions of voices in prayer and praise to almighty God for blessings upon your Majesty and your children to all generations . "

      Mr . Lees , in an eloquent speech , seconded the address , which was put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously . Mr . O'Brien then came forward and was loudly cheered . He said—Men and Women of Marylebone , I have been requested to come up to London to assist its working men in carrying out the " new movement" against those who oppress and burden them . During the last fortv-five days I have addressed forty-one great public meetings ; I have travelled through the counties of Yorkshire , Westmoreland , Lancashire , and Cheshire . Every where I have found a spirit of zeal existing ; true , there is not that intense feeling of excitement which at one time characterised the movement , but it is a

      spirit of steady , well-regulated seal , which promises still better for the cause . Wherever I haVe been I have found great distress existing ; wages have been reduced to an enormous extent ; they are not receiving , in many of the manufacturing towns , so much , as in 1828 . In Huddersfield , for work whiohthey then received 54 , th » y now receive only 2 Jd . la Wigan , Colne , Stockport , « fee ., the bandloom weavers are labouring twelve or fourteen hours a day for from 43 . to 6 s . per week , and thousands cannot , even at that rate , procure employment . The only town which is ah exception to this is Todmorden , a little town , partly in Lancashire , and partly in Yorkshire ; here the » r wages were comparatively good , averaging about 6 s . 9 d .,

      and this they chiefly owe to the beneficent exertions of Mr . Fielden , M . P . ; and when we find that the only town where wages are at all kept up , is that where they are under the employ of a Chartist Member of Parliament , it argues strongly in favour of ft general adoption of our principles . Mr . Fielden is one of the largest manufacturers in that part of the country . I have seen 1 , 058 looms at work in one of his factories ; the distress which prevails iff so great and dreadful , that something must immediately be done . At Stockport the Bpipnersare not employed half time , and are only receiving 17 a . for labour for which they formerly received £ 2 . In Carlisle a deputation of the weavers waited on me , assuring me that their wages were only 5-. 2 < i . per week , and out of

      this they had to pay is . tor rent of loom , and to pay 2 d . in the shilling for winding . It is impossible that these men , by aay exertions , could keep oat of a workhouse , were it not that their wives and children were compelled to be factory slaves—compelled to do men's work to eke out their miserable subsistence . Men of Marylebone , daring my imprisonment I had determined to leave this country , and retire tOiAmenca—not to abandon the movementthat I never will do but with life ; but to do there tor the cause what I could not do here . I have seen so much of apathy on the part of the people—so much treason on the part of the leaders , that I became almost hopeless of effecting any good . Foi the last ten years I have kept struggling against every

      species of opposition ; I have been more opposed by those of my own order than even by our bitterest enemies . ( A voice— By working men ?") No , not by working men , but men of my own grade in society—men who come amongst you—who seek your meetings to divide and sow jealousies amongst you . You must get rid of these men ; they usurp the allegiance due to principle alone . Look at the old Convention ; one-half deserted the cause , the other half were employed in calumniating each other—the half of which were either rogues or fools . Oae party were a set of moral-force humbugs , the other physical-force tools . The only good measure which would have ensured success , that which I proposed to them , which was the plan of forming electoral clubs , they rejected . Mr . O'Brien here

      entered into a long detail of the doings of the old Convention , stating that he had opposed the National Holiday—that ho advised the people of Birmingham not to meet in the Bull Ring , and yet he was made the scape-goat of the party , and was called the most violent man of the age , through the follies and treachery of those who had deserted them . When 1 read in the Sun newspaper at Newcastle of the massacre of the people of Birmingham , I advised them to arm ; to arm to the teeth , but to be cautious hot to use their arms unless a similar attack was made upon them . I told them they had a right to the possession of arms , but they had no right to bring them to meetings or to parade them in the

      streets . They were for the defence of their homes and their property ; but when a set of irresponsible magistrates acted in defiance of the laws , as they had done at Birmingham , then they had a perfect right to use them anywhere or everywhere , rather than see the many slaughtered by the few ; , and for this advice I was tried . On my first trial I got acquitted , after a three hours' cross-examintion , clearly proving the perjury and inconsistencies ot the witnesses . But at my second trial at Liverpool , I was convicted on an indictment , charging me with obstructing the due exercise of the laws , resisting tbe constituted authorities , and breeding routs , riots , at d rebellion ; convicted by twelve middleclass jurymen , for making a Bpeech as strictly

      legal as was ever spoken in that "honourable houBe , " the House of Commons , On the foreman of the jury being asked if they agreed on their verdict , without a moment ' s hesitation , he answered , " Yes , my Lord , Guilty , guilty ; '' and that with a voice which seemed to say he should like to execute as well as to convict me . One of these jurymen , and I believe the same one , had previously said it was nonsense to try these Chartists—they had ought to be shot or hung at once . What chance had I Q * ' a fair trial , with suoh a jury , when Captain Plunket and his companions were clearly proved to have done that with whioh I was only accused of breeding routs , riots , and rebellions . The Jury hesitated six hours , and then accompanied

      their verdict with a recommendation to mercy . I for making a good speech , received eighteen months ' imprisonment , and , before I could regain my liberty , had to find bail for £ 800 . They , for actually bringing the soldeirs m collision with the police , one was let off at the expiration of three , the other six months , whilst a poor man of the name of Cronan , for a similar assault upon a policeman , is now enduring his sentence of three years' imprisonment . ( Shame . ) Mr . O'Brien then entered into an interesting detail of his arrests in London , and of the -manner in which the Jury , at Liverpool , bad been prejudiced against him—of the scandalous Boaanerin whioh he had been misrepresented in the press * and stated the manner in which he had been

      misrepresented , even in the papers with which he had himself been connected } paragraphs having been inserted aa Editorial eowmnts , which he had never seen until they appeared in print . Such was the difficulty to conduct a truly honest paper , that if you surmounted all the difficulties of sureties , * c , even your own printer would turn traitor to you . This was bad enough from your enemies , but yon did expeot better treatment from your friends . There was one circumstance he was sorry to mention ; but justice to himself compelled him . If he was continually to be harassed in this manner , he would leave the country . He would not be made a tool in the hands of any party ! and ho called upon the people to protect him ; 1 have seen Dr . M'Douall this evening , and he iaforas me of a paragraph in the Northern

      Mr- Nagle—I wasjwi the Committee ^ and aa ad- ' dresg was brought before us , which we approved of ; but b > some means there was . » difference in the address when it was read at the Crown and Anchor . Howl can't say . Mr . O'Brien entirely denonnced the address , and tore it to pieces . Mr . O'Brien—Our friend has committed a trifling error . I did not denounoo the address , but repudiated it . Parties who try to do me more than justice , and others lees than justice , do : me a serioue injury . No doubt it was done with a friendly Intent , bat suoh friendship is moid dangerous than enmity . If I ever oppqse _ Q'Coanor , it shall be opposition to principle , and not to the man . Mr . O'Connor is the ' ^ nly man who has ever established " a '

      realRadicalnewspaper ; Jie has , rendered the most brilliant services to the cause , and I will never be induced to oppose him unless he deserts , his principles . ( Mr . O'Brien here stated the immense diffiouHie 8 he had experienced in endeavouring to establish a paper , and the' reasons of their failure , instancing that inSt . Paucra 8 , out of thirty-five news agents , only two could be induced to sell his paper , and one of these only dare do it in a private manner . ) I feel therefore the necessity of supporting a paper , when once we have ic iu existence . It is my solemn conviction that if the Northern Star goes down , the movement will go down . I consider that man to be my most mortal enemy who would attempt to bring me in collision with Mr . O'Connor . I do not

      agree with many things he has said or done . I did not agree with'his pro-Tory policy at the la , te electioas . I differed from principle vrith' him , and though in prison I . put that policy down . I appeal to Mr . Hogg whether I did not suppress the attempt made by a friend the other evening at the Chartist Hall , Old Bailey , to bring me into a similar collision . It has been stated that I am at the head of getting up this subscription for a press ; it is as false as a similar statement going through Scotland , that I am a confirmed drunkard : I am neither at the head nor the tail of it . I considered that address not only as an insult to Mr ; O'Connor , but also to the Dundee Chronic / e , Scottish Patriot , and other papers . I do not wish to dissuade any one from starving another paper ; there have been papers as good as the Star , but they have not contained so

      much Radical news ; but it is madness to bring parties into collision who should march together ; it is evident that some parties wish to injure me through the Star , or the Star through me . It shall never be said O ' Brien raised himself on the ruins of another man . I might make £ 1500 a year by my profession as a lawyer . I renounced , all to advance the cause of the people . ( Cheering . ) I call upon the person who seat the address , and the person who sent the report , to write immediately to the Star , that justice may be done me next week . I Bhall myself write to Huddersfield to inquire how fiat address went to the Star . I never sent an address 'myself . I am not fond of puffing myself . I ask those persons who ftent the report and the address , and they are now in the room , to inquire how the eniy two' addresses I have rejected found their way to the Star . ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦

      ' Mr . Wheeleb , London Correspondent to the Star , explained , ihat m consequence of Mr . Carrier ' s benefit taking place on the same evening as the Crown and Anchor meeting , he was not able to attend , but Mr . Cleave engaged a person to reporr , who had done so , but the address being rejected , he had not sent it ; it had been sent by Borne other person . ' Mr . O'Brien . —I oali upon you , as authorised agent , to see that I have justice done me next wtek . It unfortunately happens that I am either reported by fools , who cannot understand the subjects I am speaking upon , ' or by knaves , who are interested in calumniating me . I have tor the last nine years been made a victim of these collisions . I have beenineessantly annoyed by moral force humbugs or

      physical force rascals , and if we do not keep strict watch we shall be split again into sections by these parties . They denounced me a coward because I was not suoh an ass as to give the Government a mouth ' s notice we intended to put the Government down ; to give the manufacturers a month's notice we intended to pull down the system by whioh they , had raised their wealth . I opposed every violent motion ou that Convention , as the Minute Book shows ; yet am I denonnced as a violent blood-thirsty demagogue ; and why is this ? Because , as Lord Normanby says , I am the most dangerous of the Jot . You . know lam called the schoolmaster , and . by the papers I have edited , and the writings I have disseminated , I have made such scholars as

      Vincent , Duncan , M'Crae , Lowery , and others whom I would pit as speakers , as men nderstanding the principles of government , against any in that highly respectable House of Commons . Before my time it was the fashion to lay all our grievances to a few , to this party jo power , or the other party in power ; but I have taught the people to know that their grievances do not result from a few lords , priests , or Commons being in power , but from a whole class of the community being opposed to them . The only class of men identified with you are the small shopkeepers who live by your pence ; but the interest of the large shopkeeper , of the manufacturer , is as opposed to yours as light is to darkness . Their interest is to give you as little wages as possible , and to

      purchase articles at the cheapest possible rate . If their interest is similar to yours , how is it that they accumulate thoir half million of capital , while you cannot procure the necessaries of life ! Why , if your interests are the same , have you not progressed in an equal manner ! It is because yon have not got the vote ; they know this is the remedy , and they never will grant it you until they see you are prepared to take it . It was because I claimed for you a right to stand on the same platform with them that I was convicted by a middle-class Jury ; I would not trust to the sense of a middle-class Jury for the meanest thing . Those men , who are capable of robbiBg you of your rights , are capable also of robbing you of your lives , if you oppose their interest . An

      honest man of the middle class would not sit as a Juror upon a working man ; he would consider that his interest was opposed to yours—that his wealth was procured out of your bones and sinews , and therefore he could not be impartial on any subject whioh affected the interests of his order . But with the small 6 hopkeepers the case is different ; it is their interest that you should earn plenty of money , in order that you may have plenty to spend ' ; and if their skulls were not so confoundedly - thick—if a stupid elass pride had not rendered them so insane as to be within one degree of Saiut Luke ' s , they would , ere now , have-joined with you . Mr . O'Brien then , in an able manner , w « nt into the subject of the land arid the currency

      questions ^ He trusted the day was not far distant when the most apathetic would oatch the spirit of liberty . It is impossible men- can much longer remain in such cruel poverty . All I dread is , that some villany will bring you in collision with the law . You must keep out of the reach ^ f the law , because it is too strong for you ; but once create the moral union we are striving for , and the law will stand abashed and confounded—will crumble to pieces before your gigantic power . Like the fable of the serpent biting the file , it will bring on itself its own destruction . In conclusion , I require every man and woman to sign the National Petition—get every one vou come in contact with to sign it . Tell the shopkeepers

      where you deal that your duty to your family will not allow you to deal with them unless they sign that docement . I request the people here to inform others that the address was sent to the Star without my knowledge , that I objected to it , and tore it to pieces . I require the Reporter of the Star to insert my statement respecting it , and on a future occasion shall be happy again to meet with my Marylebone friends . ( Much cheering . ) Mr . Hogg moved , and Mr . Savage seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Brien . Three cheers were given for the Northern Star , three for the Charter , three for signatures to the Petition , and a Tote of thanks to the Chairman , concluded the business of the meeting . - :

      fin reference to this report , we have only to observe that we have made it a point , since Mr . O'Brien's liberation ,, to give every word sent to us of his movements . If , therefore , ihere be any cause for Complaint , it will probably be manifest who has it . A single line from Mr O Brien , stating that the addresses to which he refers had . been rejected would have prevented their insertion : we aho * l& have been Verr *^ nkfttl ii li * ^}« ^ wjcoapied by thentfor other purposes . —Ed .
