He was a man worthy of the nobie cause in which they were ebgaged , and was an honour to humanity ^ Yet with all his good qualities he fell ' & victim to the cruel ¦ ¦'¦ system of misgovernment whicJj existed in this country ; and what befel himi might . cqiiallj ' happen toevery advocate of the people ' s rights , if spme coarse was not adopted to abolish the power Which caused it . Holberry'slife waB in the keeping of the Government , and it was their duty to hold communication with tho surgeon . If tho Jaw meant to murder him , why not drag him to the scaffold , instead of killing him by elqw ; deKrcca . 16 was time the working men looked to their condition , when they found their fellows liable to be deprived

      of life . When did they hear of a , rich man being confined , or placed in a dungeon 1 Never ; they oontrivod all those things for the sole use of the working men—( hear , hear . ) The Solons of the House of Commons said that poverty was the source of crime ; but h © would add that bad Government was the cause of poverty . He Shen went on to she w the cruelty experienced by the Chartist prisoners , instancing the cases of Clayton , Duffy , Peddio , and others ; and said that if such was the cour 3 e the Goyernmerit meant to pursue- ^ i f such was the trea tment the Chartists wore to receive- ^ -if they wore to be imprisoned , cut off from every source of comfort , and ultimately murd < red . it would suggest to

      them the propritty of alter ing the ' r mode of extendiug their views , and instead of going on in tho peaceful manner they had done , they would be forced to try / other mean ?;—( loud cheering ' . ) They mfght call that sedition ; but he would hot give them any illegal advice . He would have them oley the law , and not destroy their chancb of geltfrig freedom by auy ra ? h act . Mr ; Mason then alluded to the cruelty of the prison regulations , in / refusing--. Mrs . Hoiberry an interview with her husband , and after stating the situation in which he was placed with regard to the authorities of Staffordshire , and the .. trial , which . ho was about to undergo , he concluded by moving the following resolution , and retired amidst load cheers : —;

      " That in the opinion of this meetiDg the death of Samuel Hoiberry , of Shtffitld , who was tried at York Spring Assizes , and sentenced to four years" imprisonment in Northallerton House of Correction , calls for investigation , as her Mhjrsty's Secretary of State was fulty apprised , of the state of his health previous to his death , and as he is tho responsible officer between the people and the Crown , we therefore demand an investigation into his conduct , and her .-by resolve to present a memorial to the House of Commons on tlie subject "

      Mr . Smith Lindon seconded the resolution , and said that if ever there was a lime when it was neceHsary for thv peop ' o to exe ^ t themselves , it was the present ; and , if there was any feeling of justice or self-rospect remaining amongst the working classes , now was tho time to exhibit it . Tin life of an individual wag tak- n for seeking that which Gcd and . nature intended all men to enjoy . Holbcrry ' s lifr ? had been taken , although Vm sentence was impriBonment , and the crime of which he ' Was convicted was that vague and iindtifinable one of " sedifi ^ n , " What was sedition ? If a few men met together , to convprf-e on their private business , it was converted into sedition ; in fact , tho worning men cou ! d not meet tpsether on

      any subject , but the guilty consciences of the rich Fmote them , for they knew that the working men were ill treated . Mr . Lindon then proceeded at great length to draw a parallel between the treatment of great thieves , and those of a more diminutive class , and after bringing Holborry ' s caseforward as a specimea of English justice , and comparing the sentence of Francis who shot at .-the Queen ' 3 carriage with that of men whn were Uurity of the most atrocious crimes , he concluded by seconding the resolution . Mr . T . S . Macintosh Huppc » rted the resolution and was received with loud cheers . He addressed the meeting as friends and fellow men , and said it was at all times a painful thing to contemplae the death of a fellow creature , even under ordinary

      circumstances , and when a man's life was taken for the commission of a crime , still they sympathised with the individual , and if such , was their feelings on such occaMnng , how much more should they feel for a nobl-i-minded man , such a 3 he understodvf Mr . Holberrjr to have been . He Was a man who hnd sacrificed every thing for the people , and it appeared to him that his wish was to behefic his fellow creatures . But whilst he addressed them on the presrnt melancholy subject he would at the same time endeavour to teach them something . He wished that bis voice was sufficiently sircng to extend to ihe utmost limits of that large meeting , whist he endeavoured to shew them where the real power of the opprossor rested . They would

      remember that a man was ab : ut to be executed for the murder of Daly the policeman . Daly ' widow would be provided for by the authorities ; the people might thus Bee that the object of th ir rulers was , to give po ^ er and confidence to their subordinates by providing for them in cases of emerJ ? en ^ y , not because they liked th « m or had any peculiar teuderaes's or good feeling towards them , for they despised them , but they knew them to ba necessary for the purpose of upholding their unjust authority . He wonld , therefere , impress upon them the necessity of taking a lesson from their enemies , for if they did not stand firmly by those who were victimised iu their cause thpy would find it vanish like smoke ^ He camo forward

      to supportthe refft'ution , because hofelt that the death of Samuel Hoiberry was a disgrace to the country : and thaa it was the duty of every man to lift up his voice against euuh cruelty as that which led to his death ; and although he was not coniiected with the Charcist body yet he sympathised with them , and could call the death of Ilolberry nothing shore of murder , although he was hot prepared to pay whether it was wilful or not . It was a cowardly and illegal transaction , for as soon as the surgeon certified the dangerous state of Holberry ' a health , he should have been immediately liberated . Mr .

      Maointosh then addressed himself to those who might be opposed to the Chartist principlesj and warned them against trespassing too much upon their patience , as the might play tbo dangerous a game . Which might lead to awful consequences . In one sense , ' he death of poor Hoiberry was nothing uncommon , for there had always been martyrs to every good cause ; and if the Government of this country were to paorifice a number of those who were seeking justice , they would arouse the spirit of Englishmen , and lead on to the speedy establishment of the People ' s Charter . He cordially supported the resolution . Mr . Mackintosh then retired amidst loud

      cheers . . : . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . George White then presented himself to propose the memorial . He said that he never felt so affected on any subject as the present , for he had known poor Holberry , and slept in the same cell with him in York Castle , and a kinder or more generous and noble-minded man never existed . He eo > ild therrfiire . truly state that he came forward to address them With a sorrowing heart , Mr . White then precepded at great length to describe the manner in which himself and tho otheT Chartist

      prisoners had been treated in prison , and spoke in strong terms on the death of poor Hoiberry . He exhorted the working men present to unite for the purpose of destroying the infamous system which deprived the honestest men of their ^ ves whilst it upheld villainy ; and after showing up the various tricks and subterfuges of tho people ' s enemies , in the shape of Anti Corn Law and Complete Suffrage Associations , he called on them to form a procession through the town , to show their enemies that their spirits wore unbroken , and that pure and undefi ! e 4 Chartipm should be predominant in Birmingham , in defiance of the sopMatty of political pedlers or sham Radicals . Mr . White concluded by reading the following memorial : —

      To : the Honourable the Commons of Great Blifain and Ireland in PardwMritqssssm&ted , The Memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of Birmingham Sueweth , —That your memorialists have heard with deep * nd poignant feelings of regret of the death of Mr . Samuel Hoiberry , of Shefflsld , in one of her Majesty ' s gaols , known uader the naine of " York OMtie , " ¦ : ¦ - ; ¦ ¦ ¦ v ¦¦ ¦ ¦ : . ' . . . ¦ ¦ ¦ . . ¦ ; That the said Samuel HoJberry was tried at York

      Spring aB 8 Zi 3 . 1840 . for sedition and conspiracy , and sentenced to four year ' s imprisonment ia Nor ' ihalletton house of Correction , where the severity of the "silent system . " insufficient diet , and other descriptions of brutality , were such as to cause the death of Mr . Clajt'm , and c . used the release of Mr . James Duffy , at the point of death , and also induced the Home Secretary to remove Wm . Martin , after ten months torture , Pcnthorpe and o'hers crippled for life , and Samuel Hoiberry after suffering nearly two years of the same inhuman treatment .

      That Beveral applications have been made to the Marquis of Normanby , the former , and . Sir James Graham , the present Secretary of State for the Home Department , and that the surgeon of York Castle has represented to Sir James Grsham the absolute necessity of advising her Majesty to liberate the said Samuel Hoiberry aa the only means of saving hi » life . That in tha opinion of your memorialists the course pursued by her Majesty ' s Government , calls aloud for the interference of your Honourable House who ought

      to be held responsible for the life and health of those who are confined In prisons which are under their controul , and as so many persons have either expired or been maimed for life under the inhuman torture of those dena of infamy , it appears to your memorialists that your Honourable House should institute an investigation into the conduct of Sir James Graham , with a view of ascertaining whether her Majesty ' s Secretary of State shall have the power entrusted to him of taking the life of any man who may dissent from the political opinions of the ruling powers .

      Ycur memorialists have also learned , with regret , that similar cruelties are practised in Wakefield and fieverley Houees of Correction , and trust that such steps will be taken as the wisdom of your Honourable House may suggest to prevent the rtcuirenca of such revolting

      inhum'niity ; and that the parties who are now itripri . soned for . political offences may be forthwith released , jest theyalsofallvictims . to the silent system . Your memorialists therefore pray your Honourable House to causa the whole of the circumstances connected with the death of Clayton and Hoiberry to be investigated s and trust that the remaining political prisoners , some of whom have been nearly two years and a half incarcerated in those worse than French BMtiles ^ may be forthwith liberated . We also trust that due provi .

      sipn will be made for the widows of the above-named victims of crueity ; and ypiir Honourable House -will in so doing prove to the country that there ia still a particle of humanity remaining amongst your Hon . Members . But if this our heartfelt and sincere application for justice should be refused , we shall be compelled to come to the conclusion that there is nothing to . hope for from the Legislature of this conntry , and that the ; lives of the industrioua inhabitants of England are at the disposal of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State . ¦ -, ¦ ¦ - ¦>¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - " . •¦¦ .

      . Hoping that yonr Honourable House will give tha above application that consideration which the importance of the subject demwids , and grant the prayer of this memorial , ¦ : r Your memorialists will ever pray . Mr . Soas spoke as folio ws—Fellow oountrynieu , you bave all heard with sorrow and the stern indig * nation of hp ' D ' est minds , the record of another death added to the crowded human list of class tyranny . Now I would ask , is there a man standing here , who believes that God the author of his e xistence , coHsiders him aa a waster , or one too many on ^ the world's eurfdce ^ To this question I feel assured , that a religious and indignant answer of ho , would thrill like an electric shock through this meeting . Well

      then my friends , if you be not intruders on tha earth's sphere , you are all entitled to equal rights , Now because thid bold-fronted and virtuous citizen , maintained and conte ded for this righteous Godborn principle ; the present disease and crime engendering system of legislation grasped hold of him , with the black hand of its ruffian power , and left him to die a lingering death in a gluomy dudgeon , surrounded by the vile , mean , and merciless instruments of its tyraHny . Where are the '" free traders " now ? why are they not here ? these morbid geatlemen that Whine and weep , and wonder that men should be so cowardly debased , as tamely , and only grumbjingly , to eat dead cows , dead dogs , and offal ; yet when a fine and patriotic fellow has the moral courage and manliness of mind to resist the system whioh- produces these horror , and breeds crime as fast and numerous as insects in a stagnant pond

      they allow him to be murdered , and not a single resehtfut epithet escapes their lips against the murderers . But they rather eat their dinners with a relishing zest , saying grace with a round of d———3 against a ! l Chartists , who mean doing the thing completely , without any admixture of Whigoozenage , delusion , or trickery . Now , my friends , I take this opportunity of guarding you against these charlatans , who are ' . just" now drivelling , snivelling , and moralising , edging round the boundary line of Chartist principles , I would have you remember that al ' though this heroic fellow , Hoiberry , has died in prisou , there are suchf things occur as men dying of starvation out of one ; and such may be the fate of many of you , unless by your united exertions , as brothers of the aspociation , you obtain the Charter , and put it beyond the bounds of probability that any such horrible fate should ever arrive in this Christian

      country . The Chairmam then put the memorial , which was oarried unanimously . - Mr .. WiLSFOBLD proposed- — " That the memorial then read be signed by the Chaiitnan , on behalf of the meeting , and entrusted to Thomas Puncombei , Esq ., for presentation to the Hou-e of Commons , and that Messrs . Muntz aad Scholefield be requested to support the same . " Mr . Feilows seconded the resolution in an appropriate and effective speech , after which the motion was put and carried unanimously . A . vote of thanks waB given the Chairman , for his able and patriotic services on that arid previous occasions , and after hearing the Chairman ' s response , the flags were immediately taken from the hustings , for the purpose of forming THE PRO-¦

      CESSIONy * ' - -,: . - ' -V : ; ¦ — : : - '"' As soon as the black flag was placed on the centra of the road , opposite the Liverpool station , the working men commenced forming in a quiet and orderly manner , six a-breast , and proceeded through the principal streets of the town in solemn silence , and ' - ¦ ¦ halted .

      The multitude then separated in a peaceful and Orderly manner ; and thus ended a most ; important and numerous meeting , Which was well conducted throughout ; and evinced the love which the men of Birmingham have for sound democracy , and their determination to have justice for the death of Samuel Hoiberry .

When they arrived in Clitheroe there could not be loss than 10 , 000 people in the procession . After pa- ^ rading the principal Btreets of the town they returned to the Bowling-green ; where

      Mr .

He retired amidst loud cheers . Three cheer& were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for Feargus O'Connor , when the meeting adjourned . A good substantial dinner was served at Mr . Allen ' s the Commercial Ion , which did infinite credit to mine host .

      HAlilFAS—A public meeting convened by requisition , wsis held on Skircoa : Moor , on MoHday June 27 th , whtn from ten to fiiteen thousand people were assembled , for the purpose of remonstrating wnh the legislature and memorial sing the Q-ieen . Mr . O'Connor having been invited to attend arrived in Halifax about half-pa ; -t eleven o'clock , for that purpose . The meeting being amtonnctd for halfpast two , and Mr . O'Connor having to attend another meeting at Burnley at four , caused some trifling al ' . erauon in the arrangements ; and for the purpose of giving ihat gentleman an opportunity of addressing the meeting , the belJman announced that it should take place at two instead of hail-pa . ^ f . Having armed av the Moor , and -without wating one

      moment , Mr . BeDjamm Rai 3 trick was unanimously called to preside , who at once introduced Mr O'Connor'to the meeting , who was received with rounds of cheers and clapping of hands . When the cheering had in some measure subsided , Mr . O'Connor oommenced by giving an account of his stewardship , as one of the Yorkshire delegates to the late Convention , which was received with applause ; hiB time being limited , he could only take but a very short t ' .-ur through the ciiadel oi corruption , and concluded by requesting the people to be united , and stand by their Charter , Wi . ole and entire . Mr . O ' Connor wis repeatedly cheered throughout his Bhort bnt pithy address . He then took his leave for Burnlty , when cheering and

      waving of h&ts continued tor a considerable time . The chairman then called upon Mr . Greenwood to move the firit resolution , wnich was seconded by Mr . Clayton , and abiy supported by Mr . Hanson : — " That this meeting views the decision come to by the House of Commons , on May 3 rd , on a petition signed by three millions fiv * = hundred thousaud people , as a gross violation cf its duties , aud tyranny in the extreme ; this nv eting therefore resolves to remonstrate with the Legislature on so unjust and dangerous a decision ; and that this meeting id further of opinion , that we memorialize the Quetn on doing justice to a . starving and insuited people , by calling to her coui-cils men wiio will make th © . People ' s Charter the law of the land . " Mr . Shackleton was then oalled upon to move the remonstrance to the House of Commons , which was seconded by Mr . Crossiand , and very ably supported by Mr . John West , in a very convinciug and argumentative

      speech , which took upwards of au hour in delivery . Mr . W . Wallace was pexi called upon to move the memorial to her Majesty , which was seconded by Mr Edwards , aud abiy supported by Mr . Tattersali , from Cobe , in a very spirited and eloquent speech , which animated the hparxa of a . 11 present . On the motions being put to the meeting , ibey wt-re unanimously adopted . A vote of thanKs was thin given to F . O'Connor , E-q , Mr . fitke \ hly , aud the remainder of those gentlemen who composed the hvte Convention , whose unanimity of eemiment , discreet wisdom , and honest integrity , prove them worthy of the confidence reposed in them ; also to Messrs Dancombtf and Leader , for the bold , manly , and independent course pursued by them un the introduction of the National Pctkion to the House of Commons . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting left the moor , highly delighted with the intellecnal feast .

      The Hall of Sciekce was engaged for the purpose of hearing a lecture from O'Connor , but having made previooB arrangements , ot which we were not aware till too late , we were deprived of hisat' ^ ndance ; bat Messrs . West , Tattersall , and Hob 3 on , the publisher of the Star , very ably officiated on the occasion . Idle . —On Thursday week , Mr . Smyth and Mr . Jennings lectured at Idle . Rumours were rife that opposition wonld be offered , bnt , on calling for discussion after the lecture , none was offered . A vote of thanks to the chairman was passed by acclamation .

      Bbockmooe . —Mr . Linney addressed a large meeting here , at the Cross Keys Inn . The additions made to our numbers prove that our principles only want to be known to be appreciated by the poor and oppressed miners . We hold a meeting every Wednesday evening , at the above place , at seven o'clock .
