      HULL . On ilontlay evening last , va baa one of the . most splendid meetings we have ever seenin-doors , and more ialeafc combined ia the three gentlemen ¦ who addressed ua , than is met with in an assembly of twice as many hundreda professing to legislate for the people . Mr . Wobsdell ¦ was called to the chair , and informed the meeting Mr . Holiday of Edinburgh , would delivar an address on England ' s -wrongs and the way to light them i & £ b $ i which Mr . Campbell , Secretary to tee National Executive : aod Mx . 2 > san Taylor -would deliver

      a few lemarkB . He { the Chairman ) thought that this empire was on the eve of a mighty change , and much nearer than a many imagined . The people are becoming acquainted frith the most important of all subjectstheir -wrongs , and the -way to risht them , by governing themselves . It ia believed , by those Mho are well-ac quainted Trith the people , that there is a greater degree of knowledge in onr country than existed ia America before thty threw cffthe yoke of their oppressors ; ana he recommended a peaceful agitation as the most certain to brine about a lasting change—( approbation ) .

      Mr . GbasSBT mentioned a collection would be made for Mason and his associates . Mr . Holidat in coming forward was received with every mark of approbation , and said , Britain ' s wrongs -were inscribed on every page of her statute book , and ereiy act bears testimony to the fact that tflS niijbty mnliiiadft are treated - ^ ita comtempt , and have been denominated beasts of prey by Sir James Graham , the present Secretary of State for the Home Department Jly friends { said Mr . H . ) a dest ' osed storm is rising , and that storm will break every barrier -which may be placed in its way ; all shall be swept before it , every manacle be broken , and our country shall be happy and free . In describing the wrongs we endare he Esed nut point his finger to the thousands who are literally starving for want of food . He need not call theii attenfioa to the emigrant vessel leaving oar shores , to ^ witness our fellow beings traaspoitiEg themselves to a ixappiei clima , teeausa they cannot get employment in the land cf their birth . He need not draw their

      attention to the convict ship laden with transports , many of vhom had been ornaments to society , if the system ¦ whi ch is ruining our country had not led them to commit crime , and then pna : sh them far it —( bear . ) . It was unnecessary for him to point out every ons of Britain ' s wrongs , for the polluted source of c ! as 3 legislation caused them all , and occupied the foreground in the number of evils against which we hive to battle ; but so long as self-love occupies th 9 human be&rt , we shall be slaves ; jei ween each man bagels a lovs for his fellow man , prosperity will attend our cross . ! Eiil Britons are determined to bs frea , so long will their prayers and petitions be unheeded asd treated "with contempt In proof of this wa have abundant evidence , even in the mresent session of

      Parliament ; ¦ witness the deputation from Paisley , ¦ wishing to detail their sufferings to " the hero of a hundred fights . " The iron-hearted Duke was proof to their crias , and had the impudence , "when in the Honse , to say , " if any man was p > or it was his cwn fault , and that England was t&e only couutiy ia the world , where the Ia >> ourij 3 g msn coald gain a comfortable independence by his own industry . " Was it net enongb , that thousands of cur fellow men had been slaughtered for his aggrandisement , that we should be thus insulted and treated with COntempJJby him ? Tea , this iron soldier is boarding up for himself & reckoning againsi tht dry o ? -sTritk . - »\ h « 2 all accounts -will be settled . Why need he dwell upon one individual , when -we find the whole batch as iaa .

      and pay no regard to yoar prayers ? W £ &n thrce-and-atalf millions of you desired to be heard at the b ^ r of that house , you could not ba heard ; they weie too Jjusy discussing the merits of Colonial as&ea to attend to Vhat you , or your your agents had got to B 3 y . _ They were afraid th » tale of woe , which would eloquently have been poured forth by an O Connor , c . Duncan , and a Lowery , should go forth to tha vrcild , and make short their time of plunder . The cry of compltint i 3 getting more universal among all classes of the people , sad how should it be otherwise , -when iif : y millions , and more , are yearly wruE ^ * ha swat of tea peop ' e , to eupport in luxury and idlent ^ s a hesrtlcs , graceless , Crodles 3 crew ? This enormous sum , by some superficial thinkers , is usi thought too icuch to carry on the expences of the country . Tbey cinnot fcaie t .-fleeted on . the euormltj cf the rum . Ibis sum , if coined in sovereigns , and laid tide by si ? e ,

      -would make & line from Ediabro * to London , acd do more than extend from thence to Dublin . - If they reflect upon this , they cs-aaot long consent for such a Bum to be yearly filched from the people—¦ . hear . ) He was well aware that ia every civiised society there man be laws to protect virtue , and punish crime , an ^ th ere most be an Esscatire to enforce these laws , tut ibU Executive ought to accord with rha wishes ^ f the people . and do the greatest possible good to the greatest poivlblfi number of people . The child of the peasant at i ) irth is « qoal to that of th 2 poer , and if jvu fi > ilow him to the grave , however high the sculptured marnle may extol bis name ,-his head lies a 3 tLe poorest cf tae poor . At the bir : h of a King or Queen , the whole na . wu saust shout fer joy ; bonfires nm ^ t be kindled , ite cannons thunder forth their bellowing uoiee / and s Bomber of tie drcaken end debauched of the people bellow farth God save the KiDg or Qsieen .

Could it be possible ha bad to describe the coit of royalty ; in the 11 th year of reform it cost £ 47 , 000 or thereabout , which makes £ 287 a ^ day . How they manage to : spend it he could not tell , but tbis fee knew , the money -was Teted by those who called themselves the psopVs representatives .

The cost of-ale : calculating it ai two shillings per gallon , ¦ wonl l give sixty eiaht gallons a-day ; " of spirits , at three shiufngs per bottle , thirty six bottles a-day , and of -wine , at an additiOEal cost , fifty tight bottles a-day . He thought tbs greatest drinSer in the worid must th-ak this quantity too much for one little ¦ woman to get through , even If Ehe was wsiEted by her husband into the bargain . He asked the teetotaller , who acknowledged this , how he reconciled it with his pledge ? is he a riaht reyal tettouller who does it ? for they are not to " bs instrumental in providing drink to otters ( hear , bear . s The siim voted for glass and crystal , to allow 5 ? . per bottle , and Is . for tvery giars . would give twenty-two botUss and sixty-four glasses a day . He did think in

      Euch destruction as this ( the sum is voted annually ) that some of them were u&t a ' urays in their subtr senses . We have all the other members of royalty , and the goodly race of royal bastards to keep into the bargain—daughter and approbationj ;—besides all this , ¦ we could not find a king at home , at least a hnsband ior tie Qaetn , bat must gj into Giraiaay for . one .

      sums . There ' are ninety-one Campbells in the army , and twenty-seven in the navy . The keeper of the signet , Sir William Dandas ) has a greater sum than the former for his ardous services . We have 600 generals in lull pay . Why , a twentieth part of them would not be wanted in a time of war . We had lately ninetyeight a-imirals , and ouly nine of them on duty . Next comes the law , the judges , commissions , < kc . ; who , speaking of commissioners , it brought to bis mind a discourse between a poor weaver and a comm i ssioner , in the year 34 or 35 , at Andettown . The commissioner says dont you think emigration would be a good thing , an-I much bttter youi condition ? Yes , says the "weaver . Tbe commissioner noted that la his book , and was going away , but the weaver stopped him , a d said

      " you and me may be dinna agree about the sort of emigration . I would emigrate all the bishops , half of the parsons , and ail such as you . ' * He shut his book and wanted to be gone , but the weaver would not let him bud ^ e till he had put it down in his book . The printing of the Commission to inquire into the spiritual destitution of Scotland , cost £ 60 . 000 , but we have a-.-t the means of getting to know the salary of the commissioners , but § ues 3 it would be liberal , by tbe cost of the printing . There is more accommodation than is wanting in the / air Churches . Any person wishing-to go may find a pew for himself , another for his hat , and another for his umbrella . He believed the aristocracy were right , when they said distress was not general ; it has not reached them . Taik not about distress , when

      you can afford to pay such enormous salaries , to sueh insn as the concocters of the massacre of PeterlOO ! Be thought it WjuM take a Biagnif » ing gJas 3 of S 00 horse power to see any good they , any of them , have don 9 . They talk of you desiring to plunder them , when they are gorged with plunder , to gain which thousands of your countrymen have been led to bleach in the sands of Eeypt , the AlpB , in Spain , and America , and the enersies of the people have been left at the feet of a plundtring aristocracy . They have made offices wheie there was none wanting , mere ' y to put their deppudents into , at the people ' s expence ; and it weald take a pair of castriron lungs to detail one-tenth of the wrongs they Inye icflletsd upon you . The com lairs have been pas&efl l > y ftem to fceep up theii rents . They bare taken

      the church lands , the cr « wn lands , and the common lands , the property of the people to their own use . They have made the tenants of the deep their pro-P ' .-rty , and the fowl 3 of the air must be their ' a also .

( Applause , which lastad for some time . ) Tbe question now conies , how UTe those Trrong 3 to be righttd ? And how can the blessings of G- > -i , and cheap Government , be conferred npon the people ? Simply by giving to esch honest , uprisrht man a votf in the choosing the members ef the Executive of tbe country . This can osly be done

      by th- People s Charter . ( Applauses . ) Tsll me net of lopping off this or that branch of the tree of corruption , for the same energy would overthrow the whole aass . The cry of tha Charier ia traversing far and wide . In oid Caledonia , the land of his fathers , it wss bearing down bufore . it every trammel in its course ; the cry has cone from moss to mountain and glen ; and , come v ? e : \ l cone woe , they are determined to be iree ; wherever he had been the cry for the Caarter had prevailed . He had Leard the trades of Manchester had nailed the banner of the Charter to their flags . Ireland also was proceeding ia the glorious cause . This cry -trill soon haTs reached such a force

      before which faction must speedily fly , n ? var to retum . Tbe on 2 y tiling which can impade it are those partial outbreaks which the people are led on to commit by want They have already done us much harm . Keep calm , $ nd keep cosl : proceed for a short time longer with-tbe same determination you now have , and we ¦ will speedily STreep from before us the laat remnant of tyranny and corruption Millions are watching the Chartists of England ,- and if they fail in their attempt to be free , the chains of slavery will be riTetted there Tha beautiful structure , he hoped , was rapidly reaching completion , which would stand till the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds . ( Tremendous applause . )

      Mr Campbell rose , and complimented in trarra terms Mr . Holiday for bis lecture , and the people also for having ths opportunity cf hearing their cause so eloqaeutly advocated . My friends , sai ; l be , our cause is rapiciy progressing ; the spirit of liberty was going abrca-1 , and he defied the pow ? r of any party to itop it .

Oae faction which is expiring , has made a bluster in its dying rcomeats ; the ghest of that party h& 3 made a >{ reat . noise , and has told the premier if they do not reptul ths Corn Laws , they will join tbe Chartists . Hs thought they coald doc have the people's cause at heart , or they Tronld hAve done that sooner , lor tLey know oae of the first acts after the Charter would be a repeal of the Corn Laws , but there -would be others made to hinder tsem of robbing the labotirar .

The Charter Atsociation has beea formed in 420 places , and there are only two counties of England in which it has not been advoaited—the counties of Befiford and Rutland . The Dublin Association , as an Irishman he was proud ¦ t o say numbered above 1000 members . He implored of Ibem to unite with the National Charier Association .

Chairman , sister and brother Chartists , Whigs and Tories , if there were any , / or it w . -j selilom so many people were gathered tjgether -without being composed of the th-ee partita of tba ttate . Tha laat speaker you have heird i 3 plain-matter-of-fact John jCrrupbell ; ho complimented the lecturer , and he also might fjilow it up ; but for the present should proeeed .

( Laughter . ) You hive pt-titioTitd for your liberty , but in vain . Millions of requests have yon ser > t and tsloced at the foot-stooi

      of an e-arthly menarch , and thiir rejection has been accjHjpasied with renewed insults . The great question is—how are you to get ysur Charter ? It is a -yery plain questio-j , &w \ one eTcry Chartist cu ^ ht to bs a > ile to answer . He wished every Chartist to be able to give a good opinion of the faith which is in him . He wculd net till what the Charter is ; but would say this much , no chauee could be accomplished till the people ¦ s-e re universally united . We must pray for the Charter . Jesus ChriBt , talking to his apostles about prayer , said to them , "Ask , and ye shall receive . " Ee was a man of prayer , and granted every Chartist to pray without cwsi ^? , that their joy might be fall - ( A voice from the jiirttiEg— "L ' -d J&sns , give us the Charter . ") Hitherto they had asked amiss , or have askea co ' -hing . If we

      arf to havs the Charter , -we must bring the psopla into oca rain 1 ! , and with oae voias declare that the Charter shall be ours , and we shall be free . fTremeadous approbation . ) Thus , when you get the Charter , your joy will ba full , and the prayer of faith will have saved yon . Xti tas unite ourselves before we begin to pray , and then our prayer will be heard . In coming from York he had had some conversation with a person ? sry desirous of a repea ! of the Corn XawB . He said to him , " Don't yon . whh you may get it ? " Tha reply was , he did wish to get it , and also -wished to know how they would get the Charter . He ( Mr . T > told him if be would tell him bow he would repeal the Corn Laws , he ( Mr . T . ) would tell him how to get the Choi ter . The memtnt the people rvi e -united to demand
