      . " THE LaIE Scandal Case at Manchester— "We hav-j given Eeaie particulars of this case ia another page . The fclloiring has since transpired : —Inconsequence of tae ssvt ; re personal chaatisfcment itnV . cted nppn Air . Joaafhia A— , the deijcquent i ^ the . recent hifur , the lif ^ of tL-at gentleman has be * u dt-spaireil of , though he 5 s now pronounced out of danger . The ^ partits acting "with the acgrlcTed husband were Mr .

      : \ i— , Mr . W— , and Mr . H— , a ' : l peiaons of tigh respectability in the to ^ n . Tc is stated that amongst other injuries , ilr . A— received three Mounds in the ntck ¦ with some sharp iTon insirumenfc , tnd that hia friends threaten criminal proceedigs against the part ' ieSj as they allege the husband was not present when the assault took place . It apptais that tb 9 servant , who wa 3 ia the plot , bad m&f ' d a pretence to retire to bed , and having satiafied herself of the criminality t > f Mrs . if— , \ rco retired iuto the lodger ' s bed-room , and locked the door , went down stairs , and admitted the hosbandTs friends . It is certain that lie was drtadfuily maltreated , and tfcat the exposure to the cigft air , in a aiatfi of nudity , baa bad a serions effect upon Ins constitution . Although tho affair has been carefully hushed up in the locul pipers , ic is a matter of general notoriety , and , what rendurs it more distressing to the ftfcliaga of ail parties is ,-that they were of high religious standing iu the chiaf Dissenting denomination of tha town . A dissolution tf partnership of the &rm to which Mr . A . belonged was announced on Monday , the i * -ay rfter the di . ~? rciElDg transjetion . The Manchester Chronicle of Saturday , contains the following correction cf the paragraph relating to this case -which appeared ia tha Times of Friday last : — "It was not enr intention te have given publicity to this pitnfal &fi " tir in tbe coiumn 3 of the Chronitie . The fet-iiny . ? of the friends of both parties must have be ^ n soffici ^ ntly harrowed up hy the circumstance , without ti : o public -attention being farther drawn to it ; but , as inaccurate

      report 3 have found their -way into the London papers , we deem it i > roper britfly to state the facts of the case . Oa Sunday Eight , as stated in the paragraph we have quoted from the Times , the husband of ths misguided lasy left home under the p < efcmce of going to London , but , by previous arrangement , returned the eame evenirg ^ and , as far as we have been able to learn , what transpired -waa nearly aa iojIovfs : —On the night ID Q-isstioa , the scr-rant girl appeared to have gone to bed as usual , bat being concerned in the plot , did not undress herself . Shortly after she retired her mistresa went to her room to ask her some questions as to the state in which she had left the fires . Tbe servant having satisfied her on this point , she departed , and went into her own room . In about a quarter of an hoar

      afterwards the servant , being on the alert , heard ier mistress open her room door aod walk into the bed room of her lodger , locking that door after her . The servant then slipped out of the noose , gave tbe necessary information , and in a few minutes four strange men ( the husband not being one of the party , but remaining at a neighbour ' s , waiting the issue of the aifkir ) entered the house ., broke open the bed room door , dragged both parties oat ef the room , and most cruelly beat Mr . A ., isflictiEg three wounds in &ia necfc , apparently with a ffca-p instrument , and otherwise abused Mm bo severely that Lia life was despaired ot A report was prevaltnt iu towa last ' night that be had died during tie afternoon bu » there is no truth in this rumour . We can state on the be ^ t authority that he is still alive ; aid hopes are tnterlaicea of hi 8 recovery . "

      ExTRAORDiNABY Trotting Match— On Tuesday afternoon a number of the sporting world assembled at the extensive enclosure attached to the Rosemary Branch Tavern , for the purpose of witnessing an extraordinary matoh—a grey pony , twelve hands and a half high , the property of Mr . Burke , a gentleman well known on the turf , being backed for £ 50 to trot fourteen miles within an hbnr , with a monkey for its rider . The novelty of the affair attracted , in addition to the batting men and cognoscenti in horseflesh , an immense assemblage of spectators , including several ladies resident in the neighbourhood in their equipages . The monkey of conrs 8 was the ' * ' lion" of the day , and according to the conditions of the match * ho was to be

      booted , Epurred , and otherwise attitedV after the fashion of the jockies at Epsoa or Newmarket , and was to ride the pony in the usual style , with saddle and bridie . The monkey originally selected for the undertaking is the property of a foreigner ; but in consequence of his making an attack on the owner , and wounding him with his teeth severely on the arm , it was deemed prudent by Mr . Burke to obtain a substitute , and with that view Mr . Ba , tty , the celebrated equestrian manager , was applied to for the loan of one of hia trained moiiktys , and that gentleman selected " Signor Jocko , ' " ' who had already earned considerable reputation by his performances in the circle at the Surrev and o'her metropolitan and provincial theatres .

      At tho appointed time the " faignor" made his appearance , attended by one of the rough-riders belonging to Mr . Batty's establishment . He was dressed a Ia Chifney , or Scott , his jacket and buckskins- being built by a first-rate west-end Schneider , and his top-boots would have done honour even 10 tho renowned Hoby . The colours he sported wcro red and white , and in his right paw he carried a handsome riding whfp , and also wore a pair of small spurs buckled round his boots . The pony he was mounted on is a vcry fast trotler , but notwith .-tanding his performances , time- was in

      this instance backed at odd ? - . After the arrangement cf the u ^ u al preliminaries the etart took place , Mr . Burke , and a gentleman , the friend of the party who had taken the bet , cantering on each side of the pony , with oao or two others cullopirig in the rear . He performed the distance iu fifpy-six minutes and fifty « ihiee seconds of the ^ iven timo , consequently having three minutes and seven seconds tospare , aiid was not at all distressed . The Signor rode in firdtrata Ktyle , camo in with his whip in his mouth , and appeared quite conscious of his own merits as an equestrian . Id is said that 'this feat is unparalleled in the annals of the turf . Defence Fu . nd fob Mason and seven others . — The fol ! o . ving sums have been received by Mr . Samuel Cook , of Dudley : — e . d . From New L <* nton ... ... ... 1 0 ¦ Alexander Simpson , Dundee ... 0 6 Democratic Chapel , Nottingham ... 7 10 Hull 5 0 14 4

      HOUSE OF COmWNS-Tuesday , July IS ) . Tho House was occupied the principal part of the evening with the Poor Law Amendment Bill . Sir James Graham announced that at tho late period which the session had now reached , it was tho intention of Government to press only tho early clauses ( which are those relating to tho continuance an- - i powers of the Commission ) , together with some raifceUaneons provisions , rtiating principally to casual poor a . rid lunatics , and to the qualifications andpowais of tcuardiaiis . In the next session , the Government , he said , would introduce a fresh bill , embodying tha clauses nc . v to be dropped . Considering this altered ttato of things , he hoped that gentlemen opposite would forbear fr , 'm insisting on the amendments cf which they had given no"ice .

      Mr . Sha ! man Crawford ' s amendment , to give the Irish Poor Law Commissioners power to grant outdoor relief , and Mr . Fielden's amendment , that the BiJl be no further proceeded with till a full inquiry has bc ? n raade into the tffeas of the law on the condition of the workiug classes , were bo : h lost by lar ^ e majoriHes . A great number of ' the- ' clauses of the Bill were struck out by tho Ministers , and the remainder were assented to , after some opposition and some divisions . The Mouse afterwards discussed the Australia Bill iu Committee ,, and adjourned to two o ' clock . Wednesday , July 20 . On the bringing up of the report on tha Poor-Law Amendment Bill ,

      Mr . Fscoit moved a c ' anre , that it shall be lawful fora ) ' Boards of Guardian ' s of the poor in England and Wales to grant puch relief as in their judgment shall be nece ?? ary to poor pcr .- > ong at their own homes ' , any order , rulo , or regulation of the Poor Law Commis-sioners notwithstanding . He had taken : great pains to get at what was the principle of the Poorlaw , but was still ignnrant of it . If its principle were the denial-of relief i-xcept in the workhouso , then he strenuously opposed it , and believed that it could not long stand . As a resident in an agricultural district , he knew from personal experience that the in-door labour test was productive of the very worst effects . The honest , hard-working

      labourer refused to go into the workhouse , and lingered on tiil poverty and disease broke him down , while tho : dleand profligate went into it , and got fat . He freely admitted that there were evils contingent on the adoption of bis proposition , but on the whole he thought that these evila were lesser in amount than those attending the workhouse test . He know instances in which Boards of Guardiano violated the law by giving out-door relief , under the guise of loans which they never expected to be repaid , and it was a shocking state of things to drive humane men to violate an Act of Parliament . He called on tho House to adopt his proposition before a coming wimc-r laid its iron grasp on the poor .

      On a division the clause was rejected by a majority of 90 against 65 .

      THE CHARTISTS . On reading tho order of the day for going into committpfc of supply . Mr . T . Buncombe rose , pursuant to notice , to move for a copy of the depositions taken on the trials of John Mason , a Chartiac lecturer , and seven working men , at the late quarter stss-ions for the county ot Stafford , together with- copies of tho indictments , the notes of ihe chairman taken , at the trial , and the names of the . magistrates and iurv before whom they

      were tried and convicted . The Hon . Member said that he regretted extremely that it became his duly to interpose between ihe Right Hon . Baronet and that duty which he knew gave the House so much pleasure , he meatit tho duty of voting away the people ' s money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) But this grievance was so urgent , the precedent was eo dangerous , that he had no alternative bnt to call the attention of the house to the tacts stated in the petition which he had yesterday presented from Stafford relating to this subj- ct .

      Lord Sandon would put it to the Hon . Gentleman whether it was quits fair to interpose on this occasion , when there was no ono present who was conversant with the subject . He suggested a delay of a day or two , in order that time might bo given to communicate with the magistrates . That would bo more convenient , aud perhaps fairer . Mr . T . DUKCOMBE thought it was rather exlraordfnary th&t the Noble Lortl should interrupt him after the notice which bad been 011 the paper a whole day . Fairness ought to be shown , no& to the chairman of the quarter sessions alone , but to the eight individuals who were now in Stafford gaol ) having been , as he contended , iilegilly committed . If nobody in the House knew about the circumstances , he would let them know . His objoct ' w ' as that tho House

      and theconniry should know what the working classes were suffering tor their opinions . If these individuals had been tried at the assizes , or before any tribunal bat the court of quarter sessions , thoy would have been honourable acquitted by the jury . How ever , he was in the hands of the House , and if the Right Hon . Baronet wouid say , that on Friday or somo early day he should have an opportunity of brintfiny the case forward , he should be content to waive the right he had to bring on a question of grievance on reading the order tor going into supply . He said that this was an unjust conviction , and the right of the House of Cosuuous of holding inquest of public grievances would be as an end it ' these men were to be tried and convicted , as they had been , without notice being taken of ic .

      Sir J . Graham said , that it was clearly impossible that the conmiuee of supply c-. u ] d close that night , and he thought that any other supply-day would , to the Hon . Gentleman ' s sense of justice , he much more sdvantagcous for bringing forward this subject ; because , by that Jime , the chairman , and magistrates might be communicated with , and both sides of tho case be fairly presented to the House . He was not aware of the circumstances until last night ; when the Hon . Gentleman gave notice of his motion he was not aware that these parties had even been apprehended . There were no papers in his office

      that threw any light on the matter . It would , therefore , be utterly impossible for him to controvert any of the facts which the Hon . Gentleman might state . Any one who read the petition would see how grave were the ehar ^ es ifc made ; there were charges against the constable , against tbe magistrates , and the chahman of the quarter sessions , who was accused of violating " hip oath , and the jury of perjury . " More grave subject of consideration could ecarcely be brought forward , and , as he had already observed , he was jius jyfcwin a situation . to < euttr npon it .

      COVENTRY . DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW AND C 0 MPliETE SUFFiiAGE PARTY . Tho Anti-Corn Law men made their final struggle in "Coventry , on Tuesday last . For a week-previous they had posted the town with bills , announcing a meeting to bo held in the county Hall , which were headed , Siabvation ! Starvation ff Starvation III and called on the people to attend in their thousands , and unite for the purpose of obtaining the only remedy now left for the people ' s distress—Complete Suffrage . ' { •' " ¦'¦ ; : '

      -V-A lettor , inclosing one of _ the -placards , was forwarded to Mr . Whtte , of Birmingham , which was read by him to a Chartist meeting , upon which it was resolved that he should comply with the request contained in the letter , and proceed to Coventry on the day of tafteting , as itappeared that grea > t exertiona were being made to thrust the Complete Suffrage movement before the country , under the sanction of the men of Coventry . At twelve o ' clock , the county Hall was crowded , whilst hundreds were outside tho doors who could not gain admission . Mr . Libley Whittem was unanimously called to the chair . Tho GiiAiBiHi 1 ) briefly alluded to the object for which the meeting was called , and iwtroduced

      Mr . TaUNTON , who sot-e to move the first resolution , which was a declaration , of the distress which existed throughout the land . The speaker dwelt at some length on the misery endured by the people , and concluded by moviniK the resolution . Mr , Bboomfield secoudod the resolution , Which was carried unanimously . The Rev . S . W >/ m , Baptist Minister , then moved the following resolution : — "That , in tho opinion of thia meeting , the evils enumerated are mainly attributable to class legislation . That the restricted and unequal distribution of the elective franchise , atid the absence of any efficient projection in its exercise , have enabled the lauded interest , leagued with the representatives of other pestilent monopolies , to obtain a paramount ascendaMcy in Parliament , ( . hereby cnablicg them to sacrifice the interests of justice and humanity to their eordid views of personal aggrandisetnent . "

      Mr . Jacob Wrowett aeoondefl' th ' 15 resolution , which waa put from the chair andmianimo'i ? ly agreed to . It is necessary to state that the orowd outside the hail was so treat that the meeting was adjourned to St . Miohaerschiirchyard , which adjoins the County Hall . The speakers addressing them from the winidows ..: ¦ ' , ' ¦ - ¦ ¦'; - ¦ : ¦ - . ' ' ¦ :. ¦ : ¦ ¦' ¦ ¦ Mr . David Bugkney moved the third resolution , which gave rise to the oppositionjof the Chartists ; ic was as follows :

      "That in the opinion of this meeting the opening of the ports for the free importation of corn would be productive of immediate relief ; but , that the onl y ' pernianent security for the people aijainst the crying evils inflicted by unjust legislation is to be obtained from a HouPe of .. Gomihons represeiiting the whold people , and elected : upon tko principles laid down in the iiocumont called the People ' s Charter , and adopted by the -conference of the middle and working classes , held in Birmingham , in the month of April last . " ' . '¦ ¦ ' ¦ ., ;'

      & > r . Cash seconded the resolution . Mr * Pkter IIoey then addressed tho meeting , and was loudly cheered . He proceeded at great length to shew that the free importation of corn would not produce the benefit which the resolution asserted . He objected to the latter part of the resolution which referred to tho Birmingham ¦¦ 'Conferende , and said it was got up for the purpose of proping up the Corn Law Repealers . He also pointed out the immense quantity of land which waa unculttvaSed , as a nteana of supplying labour and food to the s ' arving -people , and said that the Charter alone could remedy the existing misery

      Tho rain which was falling for upwards of an hour , now increased 80 much as to compel tho meeting to adjourn to the County Hall , and after the confusion had ceai-ed which was caused by the rush to obi am good places , Mr . Stqddart arose , and was reoeived with Joud cheers . He said ht » int « nded to move that the latter part of the resolution , referring to tho Birmingham Couftsrence , bo cia « ed . Ho could not understand what they meant by parading their complete > nffra ^ e nostrum . If chey were Ciia . rti . sts , lot them fall , into the ranks of the people and be elected to offico if they were to , . lake- an active part . If they refused to < lo so , thoy were not ChartiBts , \ Vhp had authorised the partiea present to take the course they were then pursuing ? Ho had not authorised them

      aud' .-ho . was .-determined . - that anything brought forward by them which Was not in strict accordance with ' - ' Chartist principles , should meet wjth his dist approval . Tho working meii of England had been too often made the , dupes of designing parties , and lest tho last sentenco contained in the resolution , might be construed into an approval of the Complete Suffrage ' - . movement * he waa resolved to take the -sense of the meeting on itvlest it should go forth to tbo world that the men of Coyeritry were in favour of the Complete Scffrage movement . He advised the working men to stand firmly by their own organisation—tlie National Charter Association , and never again to place power in the hands of the middle classes to deceive them . Mr . Stoddart con ^ eluded by moving : —

      "That the words referring to the Birmingham Conference be erased , " And resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Thomas Williams seconded the motion . Rev . J . Uonro . v , Unitarian Minister , " ^ ir ose to address the meeting , when a shout for "White " was raised from all parts of the meeting , upon which Mr . Gordon gave way . Mr . Geokge White then stood forward , and waa received ' -with loud cheers . He said he felt proud of the opportunity thus afforded him of ineeting the middle-classes , aud he v / ould take care that before they left that meetiug they should know what the woikiDg men meant . ( Loud cheers ;) He was

      rejoiced at the opportunity which was afforded him of explaining his views for himself without being subject , to the dishonest colouring of a Whig or Tory newspaper . The working men of England hail assisted the middle classes to get the H ^ form Bill . They wore led to expect an improvement in their oondition through the operation of that Bill . But hud they derived the promised benefit \ ( No . ) Let the oppressed and impoverished hand-loom weaveis of . 'Coventry . ansW < r— had it Jncreased their wageB ?

      now , he would ask those gentlemen who wanted to repeal the Corn Laws , how was it that they who were talking of giving the poor man a big loaf supported the New Poor Law , which allotted a pauper fire ounce ? of bread for a meal 1 ( Loud and contittued cheering ) . If theyreaily wanted the Charter why not join with the working men to obtain it Why hoc join the National Charter Association 1 Why talk about Complete Suffrage ? The People ' s Charter was Complete Suffrage , but Complete Suffrage was not the Charter . At tho time tlias O'Connell was returned for the county of Clare , he avowea himself ft Radical Roformer , and was congratulated by Mr . Cobbett on the occasion * bnt afterwards at , a roeetine in Dublin , he daolared

      himself a Constitutional Reformer , and Cobbett remarked very justly , that Mr . O'Connell vyas shifting his ground , arid made uso of the . 'following words : — " Radical '• Reform is 'Constitutional Reform , but Constitutional Reform isVuo ' . t Radical Reform . A maioia a horse bat a horseisuotanaarft "—Uaughter ) —so it ' -- was with Completa Suffrage . They mi ^ j ht be deceived by that term , but there was no means of deceiving them , whilst they / abided by tho Charter . He then went on at great length , to shew the meating the manner in which the varioas political tricksteva took up principles which were popular as a means of gainibg their own selfish purposes , and laid them down / yrheftever it suited them . He shewed up the object which the middle classes had iu view , nameiy , the extension of trade , and said that the people of Manchester had the cotton

      trade extended to such a degree , that they were scarcely able to livcj and he would appeal to themselves and ask whether the increase of the ribband trade had bettered their condition 1 Had they hot been reduced time after time until they were brought to extreme poverty ! ( Yea , that ' s right-VM * White proceeded to expos © the fall&By of the propositions brought * forward by the " Free Trade " advocates , and remarked that the ribbonds woven in Coventry went to decorate the heads of idlers , whilst their own wives were in rags . The cloth woven at Leeds was cent to > clothe foreigners , whilst tho men who made ifc were almost naked . He therefore advised them to have nothing to do with the Complete Suffragettes .- . or' Corn Law Repealere , but to stand firmly by thet Charter and the National Chatter AssociatioDj and concluded by supporting the amendment . : ^ ™

      Rev . J . Gordon opposed both resolutions . He was favourable to Universal ; Suffrage , and considered the Oi'her p ^ iniis &a guards for ita exercise . He woald

      thereforeofeject to theCharter as a ' . whole ; He likewise bbjedted to some of Mr . White's statements , and afiirmed that the middle classes were not the tyrants that Mr . White Represented them . Mr . RiiTBiY Bupportcd the resolution . He said lhat although a staunch Chartist ho was incliried to adopt means for reconciling the middle and working , classes . He then read an extract from a newspaper which was copied from Bldckwood ' s Magazine , setting forth that if the middle classes were induced to throw themselves into the arms of the Chartists it would ruin thb landed aristocracy . For these reasons he would wish to secure the assistance of the middle classes .

      Mr . Peteb Hoet arose For the purpose of answering Mr . Gordon . He said that Mr . Gordon was in favour of giving ; every man a vote ; but if he refused to agree to the other points of the Charter , which was necessary to give effect to that vote , it was like putting a horse into a field of clover , and placing a muzzle on him that he toight not be able to eat : the horse might as well bo turned to graze oh a causeway . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Davip Shaw , of Nuneaton , made a neat and pointed speech , in- which he showed up the inconsistency of the middle classes , and wished that some mode could bo devised to remedy the evils that existed .

      Mr . Robert Mahon sapportcd the amendment , and g \ ewed that the middle classes did not underetand their own position . It was the interest of the shopkeepsra to assist the working men to secure good wages , as their ; profits would be thsreby increased j whilst it was the interest of manufacturers to reduce wages ;; they ought , therefore , to look for the support of the shopkeepers , bt ? t could n 6 t expect that of the manufacturer ? . He would therefore appeal to those having a similar interest with thetaselves , to join their ranks , and by giving their cordial 00-0 Deration , put an eiid to the present agitation . ¦

      - 'M . jv- Dayi ' d ' ' Bdckney then replied , and after making various observations on the ppeeches of the parties who had supported the . amend-: ment ,. he concluded by uraihg the necessity of passing the original . resolution ^ ; TheCuAiKMAN then put the amendment , and requested them to hold up both hands , when an immense forest was npheld , - accompanied by loud cheers . - ' . - , - ' ¦' ; ¦ / - ¦ - '¦ / " " ¦ ' ;'• v He then put tho original motion , and onJy few hands being held up in its favour , he declared the amen dm en t to bo carried . This announcement was received with loud cheers , and clapping of hand ? . Mr . Rattray then moved a memorial to the Queen , founded on the resolutions , to ba signed by the Chairman on behalf of tho meeting . Mr . Mayo seconded tho motion . Mr . Stoddabt moved—¦>' .

      "That those parts' of the memorial Which alluded to the repeal of the Corn Laws be erased from the memorial . " Mr , Gordon rose to . order . . He ' maintained that the memorial should be rejected altogether , or passed in its present form . : Mr . Stoddart then moved— - "That the memorial be rejected , and that instead thereof another should be adopted , calling on her Majeaty to disioive the present Pitrjiament , and call men to her Councils who would make the People's Charter the law of the land . " Mr . Robert Mauon seconded the proposition , Mr . G . White , being again loudly called for , supported the amendment in a long addresv , during which he was frequently cheered * : The amendment was thea put by the chairman , aud carried unanimously , with the exception of two hands .

An undeniable proof of the strength of the people ' s union , and tha firm determination that existed amongst them to establish the reign of principle over that of men , waa given iri the fact , that the desertion of leaders produced ho division , nor even confusion in their ranks . If even the most cherished showed signs of tampering with the enemy : if he even went orer . neck and

      crop , he was suffered to depart alone I : His fallen condition might inspire pity and sorrow ; but his desertion only led to renewed exertiona on the part of the whole , and still greater independence of tha . trammels of leaders and leadership . -No leader , nor the whole of them combined , could now market the popular exertions . ; The leader inighfe obtain his price ; but the people would riofc ratify or even csuntenance the bargain . And wa 3 not this sombthing to be proud of ? Was ifc no con-Bolation to himself , to be able ; to say that he had done a man ' s worliin producihg such a healthy siata of feeling amongst those who had always hitherto been the prey and sport ofcontentliag factions : and Whose disunion and sectional differences had been

      the pap to seotipnal and needy , leaders ? He did feel proud : and he felt the more so , at knowing that if he , himself , were to attempt to turn , either to the right or to the left , from the course he had chalked out in their presence seven years ago , he would be unceremoniously dismissed from tbeir 6 ervice , ai \ ci despised , and deservedly contemned . This healthy state of public feeling , however , had hot been produced without effort , nor without opposition : and the most deadly foes he had to encounter in his progress to establish right and liberty were those ; who were known to the assembled thousands before him as the Aristocracy of Labour . / For sevenyears long had he met these sli my snakes ; sometimes concealed in the grass , waiting an opportunity to strike ; and 1

      sometimes coiled around him with .. fraternal' embrace , hissing faint praised in his ear to beguile and betray . Their efforts , ; however ^ he had hitherto successfuliy frustrated . One by one had they shewn themselves in their true colours at last | and their rage and malice against him aa an individual , were exhibited in exact proportion as his efforts tended to produce independence ofthought ^ and freedom in action amongst the ; Chartist ranks , and thus rendered it impossible for ; the neady to live bpon sectional differences , or personal attachments . Look , too , at the efforts of the cursed and detestable Malthusiah crew , to dislodge him from the people ' s ranks . Any why 1 Because he sought to have Labour enfranchised , and thus enabled to protect its own interests . Of all the enemies wa hare had , or have to contend against ,

      Malthusiaaism is the most subtle and deadly ; It se ^ ks , by a pretended sympathy , wish the wrdngs and ondurings of . the _ labouring classes , and by aa affscted identity of political inteirests , to obtain th © guidance of tho popular will : and this first object once obtained , then they are enabled to seat Capital firmly on his throne over / prostrated ; Labour .

" "Feargus was to be got rid of , " because he spoiled the game of the Malthusian crew 1 because he denuded them of their borrowed plumes ; because he invariably

      exposed their hollow sophistries and horrible projects to his . attentive . ' - ' -listeners . For this he was denounced ; for this he was plotted against ; for this he was reviled and abused . But they had not ' yet 1 ' got rid of Feargus" j and , piease God , they never shculdj till Malthusianism itself ; was got rid of never again to offend the sight or sense of man I He had baen , hitherto , its uncompromising enemy ; he had never shunned , but sought , tha battle with it : and he would an ecemy continue , " and . battle to it give ; dnto tne end . ¦¦ Whatever face the" old friend" might assume ; whether that of " .

He was not to be amused ay professions , even though those should bo " complete , " from men whom he knew only wished to , steal a march upon him to establish the dominancy of principles utterly opposed io the interests of labour .

He submitted himself and his actions to their discriminating judgment . He showed the triumphant progress of Chartist principles ; entered into the question of their application to the benefiting of the people's condition ; and

      proved , dcmonstranvely , that the welfare ot ' the body politic can only be oonsulted and promoted by enabling the pCOpiQ to make tho most of their own raw materials—the land and the mikerals . He ably exposed the present ; insane application of machinery to the producing of almost unbounded wealth on the one hand , and the most horrible poverty and misery on the otheri He also exposed to the ridicule of the assembly the foolish and wicked effoits of the " fre « -traders" to over-awe the Government by threats of physical force , when they are utterly unable to meet in public , for fear of instant defeat . Alluding to the -return of the Huddersh ' eld anti-Corn Law Conference Deputation , he sarcastically a 9 ked , " where were they" !; " Why were they not there to give an account of their mission" ? They had gone to London , . and there pretended to have been sent by the people of

      Huddersueld to procure cheap food , high wage ? , and plenty to DO . They had returned : why were they hot at this nr-seting , amongst the people , to tell the people how they had sped ?

      HUJDDE ^ SFIBIjP . —Triumphant Chartist Demonstration ' . —Tuesday last was a day that will be long remembered by tho " good ' seen ond true ' of tho " rightoye of Yorkshire . " Their . causo received an impetus , and their pvincvplcs enjoyed a . trivjmph that gladdened every --heart , and ioosetiod evcrv

      tongue . Gratulation and congratulation were heard on every side- Tho occasion was , O'Connou's longpromised visit . He was anr . ounned to lecture at eight o ' clock in the evening , in the large pavilion erected for Wallett's company , of eq > iJ 3 ! , rians . T-no streets of ; Huddersneld , eyen at noon , were lined with crowds of anxious expectaiits ; the town presenting more the appearance of a fair than the appearance of a market day . It had beo-n arranged to form in procession , and meet Miv O'Connor about a mile from the town ; and thus conduce him to the piaco of meeting : his arrival , however , some two hours before the time announced , joined with the Wftnesaof the evening , caused this portion of tho arrangement to be given up . Three bands of music

      who had volunteered their services , entered the town from different parts ; and , though they were drenched to the skin , their patriotic ardour was not damped . ; They played round the town in gallant style . At eight o'clock Mr . O'Connor proceeded from his inn to the place of meeting , accompanied by a great throng of working men . The shop windows » jd entry-ends passed in his short route were lined with the shop-keeping class ; and it was indeed amusing to witness the looks , and hear the exclamations and expressions of opinion , of these members of the supremely short-sighted and truly ignorant body of society . Tnoso of them whose once customers were the working-men ( when they had wages for their work ) , Were dejected and chop-fallen in the

      extreme ; sparcely a word escaped thtir Iip 3 , but they looked on in spirit less silence : while those of their order who have not yet been made to " suck the hammer" displayed aa much devilism ; -turned up tho lip of scorn ; wttered viperous words ; affected as much contempt , as if th 0 high and palmy clays of " volunteer armed association" and ¦ * ¦ yeomanrtism " had not for ever lied 1 The spirit which has always actuated their order ( even to their ruin !) was there manifest . There it was : tamed , it is true . There it was : teethdown , md unable to bito . But THEris it was ! and Gad help the poor Chartists should " glorious prosperity" ever come again before the working men acquire political power 1 " The snake is only scotched : not killed "! Arrived at the place

      of meeting , a scene presented itself wHich baffles description . The immense erection ; boxes , pit , gallery , ring and all ; was crowded almost past endurance . The front boxes reserved for females , were filled . Scores had to go away disappointed ; Others determined to hear tha words of truth from the lips of the apostle of liberty , submitted to all the crowdings and crushings of an over-iuH galleryi The side-boxes were literally crammed . Not another soul could be crushed into the living mass . Such a ai f tht waa never witnessed in the town Of Huddersfield before : and Huddersfield has long been kno « . vii as the most public-spirited and foremost town in the kingdom . It has always been up to the mark always taken the lead in every useful and patriotic

      agitation . ; Hundreds upon hundreds of persons could not obtain admission . Even the several bauds of musician ? , who had so generously given their services , were forced to return homeward , disappointed at not having the opportuhity to hear the man they bo highly prized . Room for them , when they arrived at the doors of the pavilion , wag out of the question . For some time after the arrival of : Mr . O ' Connor ih the paviliony so loud were the importunities of the outsiders to be admittedv thatbusiness could not be commenced : but when order was at length restored , Mr . James Shaw , of Marsh , a maat ^ r cloth : dresser , was called to the phair ; and ho briefly introduced the leotarer to the meetiag . Mr . O'CoSiXon ' s rising waa the signal for a burst of huzzaing and clapping

      of hands from all assembled , both male and female , which lasted several minutes . Silence at last prevailed ; and the lecturerproceeded to review the past efforts and present position of Ghartista and Chartism . He alluded to . 'his first meeting with the men of Huddersfield , upvvardg of seven years ago ; reminded them of his profession arid promises then ; compared his performances with his promises ; and asked his auditory tf » consider themselves a jury to determine upon his consistency and generalship . He begged them to call to mind the fact that when he first came among the English ; working people , he found them split up into sections ; one portion of them working themselves to death to procure the passing or repeal of one law , and another portion 61

      them working in a similar manner to procure the passing or repeal of another law ; that their efforts were then comparatively unfelt , because of the want of unity of action ; that he ^ had gone amongst them from ) one end of the land to the other , with principle for his guide , and UNION for hia motto ; anfl that theTCSU . lt of his efforts , 6 eoonde 4 as they had been by the patriotic and well-disposed amongst the working classes themselves , was seen in the present proud position of Chartism 1 The world had never before seen bo grand a epectacle as the order 01 LABoUK at this moment presented , to the eye of the statesman . Banded together by themselves ; proof against the wiles and assauks of their prelended friends and known enemies ; determiaatioa
