      tb « Char ; s-. s leaders . He likewise said , that , t was stated in the Star , that if Dxniel O ' Connell came to the great meeting at Leeds , he was to be murdered , consequently he ( Ea .-by ) could not blame the Irishmen for what had been done in Manehest-r . He proceeded to attack the Chartists ; but no one taking the . least notice of him , he , after a speech of about seven or eight minute ? , sat down . Mr . Finnigan then addressed the meeting about fiveminutes , and while doing so bellowed out a tirade of abuse against the Chartists , but finding no one to oppose them they became exasperated . Mr . F . then sat down . Mr . Easby rose again and be ^ an praising himself , when a waggish lad about sixteen years of age cried ont , " Thou art a bonny devii to make a

A Few Facts iff Regard to Elections . — In cities and towns-county , having their own sheriff , the writ under the great seal is seut direct to such sheriff , who immediately on receipt tkereof mu £ t make proclamation , appointing the day of election , not sooner than four days nor later than eight days from such day-of receiving the writ . For boroughs , not having a sheriff , the writ is directed to tfce high ?' sheriff of the county , to hold an election for knigh t * of his shire , and for burgesses of the boroughs within

      the county , and within three days the high sheriff addresses a precept to the mayor or other returning officer of each borough , who , like the sheriff of a city or town-county , mu . -t make proclamation of proceeding to election , not sooner than four days nor later than eight days from such day of proclamation . In the counties , the high-sheriff must , within two day * after the receipt , of tho writ , in like manner make proclamation of his county court , to be held not sooner than ten days nor later than sixteen days from that date .

      EDcCATro . v a > -d Crime . —At a meeting of " the Greenwich Society for the Acquisition and Diffusion of Useful Knowledge , " Dr . Murdoch referred to some statistical details , to prove that the best educated counties of England were the most moral . Westmoreland took the lead in this respect . In that county there wa 3 but one criminal to every 2 , 201 persons . In Essex there was a criminal to every 425 persons , and in Warwickshire one to every 384 persons . And what was the reason ? In Westmoreland there were double the means ef education to those existing in the other two counties . It was calculated that the chances of a person without education becoming a criminal were 2 , 200 to 1 ; rhose of aa individual with an average education , 10 , 000 to 1 ; and those of men having received a superior education , 50 , 0 W to 1 .

      Morality of the " Upper , " " Higher , " and " Educated" Classes—Some days since , the Earl of Mountcashel , while presiding at the annual meeting of the London Society for the Protection of Young Females , related the following extraordinary circumstance , which his Lordship stated had reached him through a source which could leave do doubt whatever of its authenticity : —A young , handsome , and accomplished lady , of most respectable fyroily connections , residing in the country , had received a pressing invitation from a lady at the west end of the metropolis to come to town , and spend a few weeks with her . The young lady accep : ed the invitation , and came to town , where she was received with great kindness , and treated with great

      attention . In a short time after her arrival , the lady who had given her the invitation took her to a fashionable chop at the west end , aud , after 1 -oking at various articles , and making some purchases , her friend requested the young lady to remain in the shop for a few minutes , while she merely went to the other side of the street , saying she would return almost immediately . The young lady of course consented , and her fricud lefxtke shop , to return , as she supposed , in a few minutes , but in this supposition she was disappointed . After some considerable time had elapsed , a female of apparently accomplished manners , addressed her , ana after stating that she had observed her anxiety at the absence of her friend , and her awkwardness as a stranger

      being left so , offered her a seat in her carnage , to take her to ( he house of her friend . The young Jady expressed her gratitude for what she considered to be extreme kindness , and accepted the offer . She was then ushered into an elegant carriage , with a coachman and footman ia costly liveries , and driven away , as she believed , towards the residence of her friend . Going along , however , ehe observed she did not think the coachman was goiDg in the proper direction ; but the lady , her conductress , assured her they were . At length the carriage drew up , and her companion assured her tKat tho coachman must have mistaken her directions , and had driven to her own house instead of that of the young lady ' s friend . She then requested

      her to walk in for a few moments , while she gare some directions to her servants , and was shown into an apartment , and as soon as she entered the door was locked , and there she was kept for some considerable time . At length , however , the door was opened , and a gentleman , who he ( Lord Mountca&heQ ) was ashamed and sorry to say , was a cler-« Toan of the Chnrch of Englanti . ' ^ was admitted to her . The object for which hie was introduced , there could be no doubt about ; but some idea might be formed of his shame and mortification on beholding not a stranger , but a young and virtnous lady , with whose person and friends he was very intimately

      acquainted , and he being actually the oUrgyman who had prepared the lady for confirmation . The lady , it is needless to say , escaped the dreadful outrage intended to be committed on her ; and though she had mentioned the facts m he had related them to a lady , a friend of his ( Lord MounUasbel'fe ) , who repeated them to him , she had never disclosed the name of the clergyman , hr conclusion , his Lordship said he had mentioned this circumstance in order to show the extraordinary lengths that were gone to entrap persons , even in the higher ranks of life , into infamy , and the necessity , on the part of tho members of the Society , to use their utmGSt efforts to check them . —Globe .

Yet in the same paper of Saturday , the very Dext Jay following , we find a reprint of another statement , concocted and published at Manchester , in which , by the simple expedient of setting every thing down twice over , the taxes remitted by tho Whiffs In those ten years are . made to amount to iClS . StJGjlCfl . or nearly double tlie former statement And this picco of " enormous rybg , " although uftrrly at variance with its own declaration of the very day before , tho Morning Chonicle h&s the decency to recommend to bo "extensively circulated throughout the countrv V—Times .

      Shocking Occurrence . —On Thursday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , aa two workmen , named Harris and Heathcotfc , in the employ of Mr . Neville , bricklayer , Old-street , St . Lukes , wero en-K ^ ged in digging a cesspool at the residence of Mr . Fairbank , grocer , Goswell-street , an adjoining one suddenly burst in upon them . The poor fellows attpmpted to escape , and had just reached the top of the pit , when they wero so overpowered by the foul air , that they let go the rope , and were precipitated to the bottom . Assistance was immediately procured , and tbpy were ex ' ricated from their perilous fituation without loss of time , but it was not until the lapse of about half an hour that Mr . Simpson , surgeon , who attended them , sneeeeded in restoring them to a sense of consciousness , and even then it was deemed necessary to convey them to the hospital , where they remain in an extromoly weak and low stats .

      Whig Jobbery . —Tt i = i rnmourfd that Lord Normanby is to go to Paris , to enable him to retire upon an ambassador ' s pension . There was a time when , if a Ministryiin abeyance did such thingp , an impeachment would havo been the consequence . LooK-A-tfEAD Ciiautists— TheLondon shopoerats are feeling tho smavt ; tradein London amongst the worthies , is terribly dull , and there are no hopes of improvement ; indeed , wero not the elections progre ? f > ing the poorfellows would die of ennui . As it 's . the debtors' prisons and insolvent courts present sufficient evidence that tho system is tottering , and that to patch up the old worn-out consitution is out of the question .

      AtVA . —Election Movements in CiACKMAiVAAiV AND Kinross shire . —The cause of Cbartiv . u and the people goes on most gloriously here ; but tkat the country may understand our true position , we will briefly state it Clacbmannanshire is tbe smallest county in Scotland , and it may bo said t » havo been the pocket county of the Abercrombie aud Adam faniilic 3 , aml in t-ese times an election for the county caused less stir thau a family dinner . After the pay-dug of th « R <; foTm Bill , it was united with Kinross , the neighbouring county , in sending a representative to Parliament . That net called into existence a number of electors , composed of farmers and proprietors of houses in th « villages . The « ie electors in general have professed Whig

      principles , and four times Admiral Ada . m has sat in the Reform Parliament as a representation of these counties . During these elections , tbo whole ¦ working population of the villages stood forward with all th ^ ir popular demonstrations in support of tbe Admiral , aud , so unanimous was tbeir decision in his behalf , that no Tory diired think of these counties . Bat a chango has come overthe working population , and thi'y are now as unauiujous and determined to extinguish both tbe factions , is they were zealous to support the one and excommur ^ cate the other . We fuel it perfectly confident to & a truth when we state that nowhere in this country Vdoe * Ghariisin reign so triumphant , aud nowhere is tbe electoral body so completely ! broken "P > dispirited , aud chopfalien . Our former representative ,

      Admiral Adam , one of the most miserable Ministerial hacks and Parliamentary poltroons that ever innde hia awkward bow upon tlie floor of St . Stephen ' s , lias resigned these counties into tho bands of Colonel Abercromby ! Would it be believed that although the working class were so unanimous in supporting this naval baboon that ha had tho temerity to voto agaiust the National Petition , although it was the uiostjtaMgouslysigntd tbat ever left these counties , A&kARtjtinuGa , misrepresented . We bad a visit from his sunfevaor * < in the 17 th ; his chief recommendation is th ^ tfejia to walk in tho footsteps of his predecessor . He begin in Tillicoultry at eleven o ' clock , where six or eight Df tile ' most dirty lickspittles of its electors met this gallant warrior , who would not know his

      grandmother across a small room , although he stands upon the half-pay list as a Colonel of the British army . The intelligent portion of tho electors , ns well as the Char ^ tists , declined to have anything to do with such a hole and cornur exhibition , bo the Colonel's entree avid exit in this p ' ace had more a resemblance of a small club , than any other thing we can compare it to . At one o ' clock the same day the gallant Colonel drovo up to the bead Inn , in the town of Alra in a baclsnej co . ich . Upon all former occasions- of this hind , banners were streaming in the breeze , and music reverberating in tLe glen ; but these glad sounds and pleasing sights tire now extinguished so far as honour to a tt : n pound suffrage is required ; they are all now reserved for the triumphs of the Charter . ¦ Upon the fuce of the Corn

      Law Repealers was written "hope deferred . " Upon tbe f * 6 as of the Tories a sort of leering triumph was visibte at the shattered and prostrate condition of Whiggery . Among the Chartist electors and non-electon there beamed that proud satisfaction which seemed to say , " We h-. ve proved the hollo w-htsartedness and rottenness of Whiggery , and it belongs to ns now to ¦ bitfy 4 be dirty infected carcassesof both VVhigsand Tories , which we will do at the day of nomination at Dollar , wheo wo shall carry our Chartist candidate , Mr . Abnun Duncan , triumphantly over Whiggery . " A requlsttioii of the Chartist electors was prtsented , requeating the Colonel to address an out-door meeting , This he politely but firmly declined , although the meeting was standing outside of the Inn where he then

      waa ; About an hour was passed betwixt the Colonel and the electors in discussing the extension of the Suffrage ftHd Corn Law Kepeal , without coming to any thing like an understanding , when Mr . David Harrower , secretary to the Cbartlst Association , appeared , and proposed nine questions to the candidate , of a most thorough searching nature , 'which he answered wit it the monosyllable "No ! " with the declaration that he hat ! never heard such questions before . When further interrogated by this young champion of tho Charter , if lie thought that the responsibility to pay the national debt extended beyond vJie peerage and those who elected the House of Commons ? his reply was that they wvre

      no more-i-esponsible thin the whole body of the people . At . this hUxgn of the , proceedings , an elector , whose Riutcalisni has been of forty yeava standing , Mr . M'KoDzie , declared with great emphasis , that were tho Apo&te Paul to preach such doctrine ho would not be-^ ie . VfijhJa r . To the honour of the electors of A lva , not one of them said a word in his favour . No one proposed him as a fit and proper persou to represent this or any othey place . Alas ! to fall so miserably low , within sight of 1 A « ancient and honourable house of Abercrombie . Wife can say after this that Chartism need fear the factio&ieithersingle-handed ©^ combined . —In the evening , a l * rra meeting was held in the publie green , at which Mr . SfcHarrower read the questions he had proposed to

      { tho Colonel , and proposed the five foils wim ; resolution-, '"Which were seconded by Mr . Andrew M'Kenzie : — " 1 . We , the Chartists of Alva , in public meeting assembled having read in the Northern Star , of a cruel and bloody attack upon the peaceable inhabitants ef Manchester , in public meeting assembled for the discussion of the great principles of liberty , perpetrated under the authority of the magistrates and the forces at theiv disposal for the suppression of riot , anarchy , and disorder . 2 . Their non-interference for the protection of the peaceably disposed is proof to us that they actud iu concert with the lawless and disorderly Cum Law

      repealers of Manchester . 3 . We trace the whole of their proceeding to that arch-traitor , Daniel O Conneil , who is the minion and tool of tbe base , bloody , and brutal Whig government , who are desirous to drown the demand * of the oppiessad for libar ' y and security to their life , libeity , and property , in their own blood . 5- We look npon this attack from the Corn Law repealers as . a first of s series of plots to suppress the demand for the Charter . We call npon the people everywhere to be firm , united , prudent , but at the same i time resolute aud determined , aa the Charter movement will soon extinguish all the other floating questions with which this country is at present cursed . "

      These resolutions were all unanimously carried . Mr . A . Duncan was then called upon to comment upon these questions and resolutions , which he did in a very effective manner for upwards of an hour and a half , at the close of -which he announced himself as a Chartist candidate for these counties . Mr . D . Harrower proposed that CoL Abercrombie was an unfit aud improper person to represent these counties ; and Mr . Andrew il'Ket zie proposed that Mr . A . Duncan was a fit and proper person to stand for Clackmannan anA Kinross-shires . Both of these the meeting unanimously affirmed . A vote of tharifcB was givon to Mr . George Rattrey , for his conduct in the chair , and tbe meeting separated . This is our first act in the election drama , and the people hare gloriously triumphed .

      STOCKPORT . —The Chartists sent the bellman round # n Satnrday evening , to announce a public meeting in the Bpmbar's Brow Room , tha next day at two o ' clock , where some of the proceedings of the Stockport butchery would be laid before them . About that time our correspondent went to the room which shortly after "was filled with an attentive and respectable audience . Mr . James Mitchell was called to the chair , who opened the meeting by reading a placard strongly denouncing the brutal conduct of the League , which placard had been issued by tbe committee . Mr . Mitchell commented upon the proceedings of the Frida . evening's business , and stated he was Tery sorry thn . t such should occur amongst tlie working men of England and tha working men of Ireland , and that

      if they were allowed to proceed , the snme feeling would be created in the minds of the English peop le , as was in the year 1788 , when they were taught by the bigots of the day to look upon th « Irishmen as something bad and monstrous . Then it was not so much to be snrprised at that a little hostility arising out of prejudice should exist . But at the present time , 1841 , when they had assembled together worked together , and amengst the working classes there existed no jealousy , no hatred , it was really a pity that the enemy of both should be able to set one working man destroying the other . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Mitchell went into the subject at great length , deprecating the Corn Liw repealers for their atrocious conduct in hiring bludgeon men to silence open and fair discussion ,

      and concluded by declaring himself favourable to a repeil of the Union , and so were the Chartists generally Mr . Chappell said he had made up his mind to take no part in the coining election , as neither party vrera the frie ; uis of the working classes ; bnt after seeing the Conduct of the Whigs on Friday , lie bad come to the conclusion to denounce the party who would act . « o basely aa the Whigs did on that occasion , and he would do all in his power to prevent Cobdcn from getting in . He said he would got a man clown and hold him dewn if he knew ho was going to vote for tha Whigs . He worked / or Cobden very industriously last turn , because he considered him best in the field , and indeed , up to Friday , he was quite

      favourable to him ; he had heard of the doings of Stephenson ' s Squaro and Carpenter ' s Hall , bnt he ¦ would not let that over prejudice his mind . But , after seeing the conduct of his ( Cobden ' sj party , on Friday nigh 4 , and likewise jhe magistrates on the Saturday , ho was determined to do his duty . Mr . Chappell then proceeded to say that Mr . Daniel O'Connell was at the bottom of it , and that ho was the bisrg-st traitor that disgraced either England or Ireland ; he cared not whether there were Irishmen present or not , ho should continue to denounce him , or any other man , who would act as he had done . Mr . C . then reviewed the public conduct ol Daniel O'Connell , and then commented upon the labours of Fear ^ us O'Connor , showed what sacrifices he had made in the public cause , the money he has expended at various periods , Its . &c , and then put the conduct of tho two men in

      iuxta-position to each other , and a . 'ked what D . in had given out of the thousands which ha had received from the public , and after exposing the conduct of the magistrates for their shuffling manner on Saturday , and touching upon many other points , he sat down much applauded . Mr . Bairstow denounced Dnn , and contrasted the conduct , of the two men , showing how the on « j had gained the confidence of the people , while tho oM : er waa universally despised and detested ; FoaxguB was the working man ' s friend , aud Dan was the man of the middle class , and , consequently , opposed to the interest of the working c ' ass . Mr . Doy la delivered a lecture iu the evening , in which ho was equally severs upon Dan ; after which , a procession of about five hundred aocoaipauied him to tho railway , which caused great excitement in the town , as the " bojs" were about with their shelulahs .

      DERBY .-On Sunday last a delegate meeting took place at the Northern Star Inn , Darby , at which delegate from tile following places were present , namely , Belper , Hobbrook , Burton on Trent , Heanor , Swanwick , Stapleford , Alfretan , llkiston , and Derby .

" " That a vote of tln . nks be given to our chairman for his able and impartial conduct in the chair . " " That a report of this delegate meeting be sent to the Northern Star for insertion . " The cause is flourishing in this district .

      Thk Chartists of Derby , at their weekly meeting , held on Sunday evening , passsed strong votes of censure and expulsion on Messrs . Turner , Skevington , Hail , and Twiss , for their efforts in aid of Whig uaurpation , in having become members of committee and canvassing agents for Mr . Gisborne and Lord Waterpark , the . Whig candidates . CHESTERFIELD . —Oa Monday , a most peaceful and well-conducted assembly of Chartists , listening to an harangue from Mr . Wm . Martin , in the Marketplace , ( the meeting having been called by tho Town crier ] , were brutally interrupted and dispersed by the mayor and the police . The people had the good sense and manly courage to go quietly away , without mauling the wretches as they well deserved for their jnsolent interference . Shall we ever have enough » f class-rule under Whig management ?

      GLASGOW . —The Son of Mr . Frost . —As everything connected with the circumstance . ? and family of this exiled patriot is deeply interesting to a vast portion of the population of this country , we deem the following relation will not be out of place . About six or seven months ago , Mrs . Frost wrote to Mr . George Koss , requesting him to use his influence in procuring a situation for her only son in some medical establishment in Glasgow . Mr . Koss made the subject of the letter known to a number of influential Chartists , and it was not long until Mr . Moir learned that a young man was wanted in the Glasgow Old Apothtoary Hall . Mr . Moss lost no time in making application to the proper quarter , and although the gentleman whom he applied to was a Tory , and knew that the young man

      in whose behalf the application was made was the only son of the revolutionary Mr . Frost , of Newport ( aa he termed him ) , he immediately agreed to engngo him , in preference to a number of other applicants . The consequence was , that young Mr . Frost shortly after arrived in Glasgow . He appeared to be in rather a delicate state of health , and about sixteen or seventeen years of age . He bore a strong resemblance to his father , and was remarkably intelligent . He soon gained the esteem and affection of all who had the pleasuro of his acquaintance : ho gave great satisfaction to his employers , and bad the honour of making several improvements iu the establishment : but , alas ! it was soon found that

      our cojd climate did not agree with his constitution , and it was soon perceived by his friends and medical advisers that a return' to his native air was absolutely necessary . He accordingly left Glasgow with the Commodore steam-packet for Liverpool , on his way to Brist' )) , last S iturday , accompanied by the feeling and patriotic Mr . George Ross , who has been te him like a second father . He was accompanied to the boat by Messrs . Moir , Ancott , M'Crea , of Kilbarchan , tiieeditor of the Scottish Patriot , and several other gentlemen , with whom he took an affectionate farewell . Mr . Ross accompanies him all tho way to Bristol , and on his return ho intends to visit the " caged lion" at York .

      V / AUaiNGTOW . —The friends have had a teaparty here , at which the proceedings were of the most plt-asing and exhilarating character . Many patriotic toasts were civen , and responded to by Mr . James Ltech and others , during the evening . The meeting was conducted on teetotal principles ; ami we are most happy to learn that the greater part of the Chartists of WarvingtoH are teetotallers . IWANCHESTjER— On Sunday last , Mr . Btyley iown-street rooai . KIIODSESBao ' . —The Chartists of this place held » public meeting in the Working Men ' s Reading Room , Newcastle Row , when spirited addresses were delivered by Messrs . Sutherland , Uollinsbead , and Maw .

      ASHTON-UNDJSR-LY . ^ E . —The ChartUts here nre beginning to rouse , as it was from a deep slumber in which they appear to have been ever since the memorable 12 th day of August , 1839 . On Sunday evening last , we had the room we meet in almost crowded to suffocation , and every person present appeared to take a deep Interest in the question tb « y were met to discuss , viz . what conrse onght we to pursue at the approaching election , some contending for an address to the electors and non-electors in favour of Mr . Hindley , the prasent Member ; and others that as there is no other candidate in the field , we take no steps in tl e affair at present , but if the Tories bring out their nun , we do call a public meeting , and invite both candidates to attend there to be examined by one of the members of this Association , respecting his views on the Charter , ha . During the discussion , which lasted nearly tbree hours , a most brotherly feding

      prevailed . At tbe clese , the following resolution was adopted : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that we as a body have nothing to do with either Whig or Tory ; bnt that tf there is to be an address ia support of either one or the other , it must emanate from a public meeting called for that purpose . " Ou Sunday alone we enrolled twelve members in the Association , and we now have some hopes that the men of Ash ton will resume that pesition they once held in the Chartist ranks . O'Connor ' s and O'Brien ' s letters , the Conveation ' s address , and M'DouaU ' s opinion on the above sut ject were read by tho Chairman , and gave great satisfaction . A-debating and reading c ! as 3 have been formed in connection with the society , and much good is exptcted to emar . ato from them . Men of Ashton , remember , the only measure to benefit you is the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter . H ' . irah fur the Charter , and no surrender !—Correspondent

      BIRMINGHAM . —CflABTis * Meeting . —A meeting was held )> y adjoammeht , on Monday Jaefc , at the Railway Station , Dnddeston-row , to hear the report of tho non-electors' committee , appointed at the meeting held on the previous Moudayoveuing , Mr . T . P . Green in the chair . The Chairman hoped that tha meeting would be conducted in tbo same orderly manner as that , which they kad shown on former occasions . AJr . ^ hoiapson then praccetitd to read Feargua O'Connor ' s letter to the meeting , which he performed in admirable style . The letter gave great satisfaction , and was received with loud cheers . Mr . George Whit © next addressed the meeting on the necessity of the working classes bestirring themselves at- the forthcoming elections . Ho

      exhorted theuj not tQ be led away by names or hifih soundiusj terms , but to judge all candidates for theuf support , by their ptovious conduct . Ho then commented on an address which had been issued by T . Attwood , and showed upitshollowness and deception . Healso took a review of the conduct of Messrs . Muutz and ScholefieW , as Members of Parliament . The great mass of . men who had formerly been termed Whigs had now given thcmsolves the name of " Liberals , " and pretended to have a roost pious horror of the general conduct of the Whig Miiiistrj ; but they nevertheless voted for them on all occasions whore their existence as a Ministry was likely to be endangered . Thus , as far as the people were concerned , those men were Whiys . and nothing else .

      He then shewed that the Chartists had nothing to do with either of the factions , but that they should erect the standard of pure democracy , and be determined to rally round-it . Mr . Thomas Attwood and others , who were disappointed in their auib . itwua schemes , had denounced 4 he Chariists as phyaicalforce men ; but they were not termed so wh > n they ran bJindi y after Attwood and Co ., and if no man else did so , he would prove , from Mr . An wood's document , on tkc -hustings , at the nomination , that it was sheer Whiggery from end to end . He then proceeded to draw a picture of the misery and suffering that existed iu the nation , after nine years' of Whig reform , and concluded by an earnest appeal to the workiug meu , to

      do their duty at tho forthcoming election , by showing their contempt for both Tory Spocner and the two Liberals , " and hold up their heads for men of their own choice . He was loudly cheered at the conc ! usion .- ^ -Mr . Wilkinson lead the riiinutes of the committee , amongst which was an unanimous resolution , " That Mr . George White be nominated as one of the Candidates tor Birmingham , on bohaif of the Charting and working men . " The following resolution was then moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , " That the minutes of the uoii electors commits bo now confirmed ' , and that no man i-hail receive tho support of this meeting who will not pledge Mmself to vote for the Charttr , wholti and entire . " The Chairman then announced that it was the deieimiuatioji of the non-electors'commutes to hold meetings at the Railway Station , Duities ' .

      onrow , every Monday eveuiug , until the couc . luskta of thn election . He then declared the meetiiiij adjourned to Monday evening next , at six o ' ek . i-. k . — Mr . White informed the meeting that ho should address all persous . who required information on on Chartist principles , ai the Chartist meeting room , Freeman-street , that evening . Three cheers w ^ ro then given for the Charter ; after which a great number of people accompanied the Committee to the Chartist room , Freema . n-street , where they were addressed by Mr . White , Mr . "Williamson , and others . —It is the intention of the forty men who compose she non-electors' committee to proceed from the Chartist room j Freemen-street , to the place of meeting every Monday evening . —A lecture will be delivered on Wednesday evening next , ai the Chartist room , Frceuian-ptreet , on behalf of Mr . Brown , now a prisoner in Warwick gaol ,

      BILSTOK . —At the numerous meeting which was held at this place last w « ek . After two resolutions had been passed in favour of the Charter and the National Charter Association , a third in favour of the Members for . Wolverhampton , was moved by Mr . Candy , and supported by Mr . Wh ; n , Editor of tho Staffordshire Examiner . Mr . G . White moved as an amendment , that if tho aforesaid Members weald pledge themselves to voto for and introduce the People ' s Charter into the House of Commons , they should receive the suppart of that meeting ? and if they would not , thac they should be conpidered enemies of the peoplo . After a stormy debate , in which Mr . - White denounced the resolution as a Whig trick , the amendment waa carried unanimously—thus proving that the brave colliers and miners ate not to be gulled .

      DUBtXW . —Tho Charter Association of this place held the most aniniafed meeting that tver took place here , on Sunday , June 20 th , Mr . Dillon in theohatr , who in a clear and ( dispassionate manner gave the " base , bloody , arid brutal Whigs" their merit . Mr . Brophy next ' addressed the' meeting In support of the principles of the People ' s Charter , and proved in a vari ^ ated and tragical speech of groat length , ihat the Whigs were the real Tories , and ihat they were the great enemies of the producing clashes , and that Daniel O'Doableface , being their supporter , ia an enemy to tbe producing and unrepresented classes of Ireland and Britain , although the poor and half-starved Irish contribute to Jifa supporf , some £ 14 , 000 or £ 15 , 000 per year . He said that as

      a working man , he was opposed to the Corn Law scheme of bettering the conditio&of the people , by a repeal of that xnnasnre , and proved that nothing short of the adoption" of the principles of the Charier can ever get for the people ' equal'rights and equal laws . „ This speech calledI forth the ire of a Me Tooe , who saidthe Chartists , were the advocates of Tory principles , that they ( the Chartists ) were opposed to the Whigs , and cheap bread and sugar , and we never had a better Ministry than the Whigs if they had not been opposed by the Tories and the Chartists , and he said he held the Chartists accountable for the language of the Tories to the Catholics of Ireland , as regards the " mummery of the mass . " Here the chairman interfered , and Mr . Brophy replied in a masterly manner , to the

      sophistry of this Whig advocate . Mr . Bropliy was followed by Messrs . M' > lahon , Robinson , O'Connor , and a Mr . Rice , from Maiicli ; ster , who gave the Whigs a benefit . The following resolution was moved by Mr . Houghton , and seconded by Mr . Hyland : — " That we , the Chartists of Dublin , do highly approve of the great moral forbearance of the-Chartists of Manchester , while under the brutal treatment of the physical-force anti-unionists , and Corn Law repealers , and Whig supporters of Manchester . " Moved by Mr . M'Mahon , and seconded by Mr . " John Robinson : — " That the thanks of this meeting be given to the electors of Rochdale for selecting rrom Ireland that sterling patriot and friend of the People ' s Charter , Sharman Crawford , Esq ., there not being a constituency ia Ireland honest enough to return such an honest man . "

      lyiARKINCH— At this town , on Friday , the 18 th inst , we had a display of Whig overbearing and dictation , that excels all we have seen in the anti-Cora Law movement in this part of the country . On tho night of the above date , according to public advertisement , a meeting of the inhabitants of this place and neighbourhood was held iu the Apron Society Hall , to consider the most pruper p ~ > an of action to be adopted by the Chartists at the approaching election . Mr . Peter Ballin ^ ate was called to the chair , and stated in a few word * the object of the meeting , aud then called upon Mr . Wm . Melville , who rose and read a resolution to the meeting , the purport of which was , that the Whig Government was unworthy of confidence , and that this meeting refrain from assisting or

      countenancing the Whigs in any way whatever . Mr . M . enforced the propriety and necessity of acting in this manner hy a lengthened speech , showing the faithlessness and jyranoy of the Govt-rnnient in a masterly manner . He thea moved that his resolution be adopted by the meeting . Mr . George Greijf seconded i ( , and impressed upon the meeting the necessity of doing so , in a feeling manner , and concluded by declaring that he would never vote for Whigs more . Mr . William Tullis , Auchniuiy paper mill , then rose anil read a counter resolution to the meeting , and moved it as an amendment to the previous resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Baxter , Balgonie spinning rhill ; an able discussion then followed , winch lasted soda

      hours , during which Mr . Baxter acted in a most disorderly manner , interrupting Mr . Melville to such an extent , that calls were frequently made to him by the audience to hold his peace , or else they would put him out . After everything wss arranged for taking the sense of the meeting upun ihe resolution and amendment , the chairman desired those in favour of the amendment to hoiii np -both their hands , and they for the resolution , to hold ' up their right , hand . It was evident to all around the chairman , that there wasr a considerable majority ia favour of Mr . Melville ' s resolution ; but the chairman hesitating a little in giving his decision , the Whigs called out to divide the house , whiqb w $ s ultimately agreed to , and in the division of " the

      meeting , Mr . Tullia , Aucb ' muty , and Mr . Slblflfcditto ; and Mr . Baxter , Bajgonie Mills . and . < Blli » - « Drummond , hiBbrother-in-law , acted themost . dia- a graceful part I erer saw . They . went through the house ferreting ont their workmen , and driving them to their end of the hall . We saw Mr . Baxter pulling some of his men by the collar , and they re- ' fusing to go , and asking others wb at they were doing on that aide of the bouse , and ordering them to the other . Mr . Drummond was engaged in the same way . Messrs . Tullis and Smith acted a part nearly akin to it ; but many of their workmen , rather th * a be driven against their will , or incur their master ' s

      displeasure , left the place of meeting ; and others nobly braved their masters and stood by the Charter .
