      The late Scasdal Case at Manchester . —We hav * given £ ome particulars of this case in another pa ? f > . Tne foliyrtng has Binca transpired : — -In consequence of the severe personal chastisement inflicted upon Mr . Jonstbxn A— , the delinquent in the recect iffiir , the life of that gentleman has be * n dtspaiied of , ihcnjih be ia now pronounced out of danger . The parties fictin ? with ihe SA-sr . ' fcved husband were Mr . M— , Mr . \ V— , and Mr . i . — , all persons of high respectability in the t-otrn . It is stated that amongst other injuries , Mr . A— receivt d three wounds in the neck with some sharp iron instrument , and that his friends threaten criminal proceeili gs against the parties , as they allege the husband was not present when

      theassaoJt took place . It appeals that the servant , wno was in the plot bad insults . a pretence to r 6 tire to bed , and fearing satisfied herself of the criminality of . Mrs . M— , who retired into the lodger's bed-room , snd locked the door , -went down stain , and admitted tbe husband ' a friends . It is certain that he was dreadfuiJy maltreated , and that the exposnre to the night air , in a Btate tf nudit 7 , has bid a serious effect upon his constitution . Although l ) je affair has been cartfully hushed up in the locii papers , it is a matter of general notoriety ; ted , what renders it more distressing to the fwlir . gs of nil parties is , fiat they were of high religious standing in the chitf Bissentiog denomination of -the town . A dissolution of partnerthip of the firm to ¦ which Mr . A . belonged vras announced on Monday , the

      day rfter tee distressing transaction . Tne Manchester Chronide of Saturday , contains the following correction cf . tha paragraph relating to this case which appeartd in the Times of Friday last : — "It "was not cur intention te have given publicity to this piinfu ! affiir in the coiumns of the Chronicle . The feL- ' .: ni . the friends of both parties must hiiYe be- 'n suffiiicntly harro > rtd up by the circumstance , without tbo public Llteztion being further drawa to ic ; bat , sa inaccaratrf reports hive ioucd their way into tae L '> vtion papera , R-e deem it proper britfl / to state the facts of the case . Oa Sunday night , as btated in the gara ^ raph we have qaot-sd from tee Times , the husband of tbe misguided " ia ^ y left ho : ue under the pretence of going to London , but , by previous arraugemeijt . returned the same

      eveuirg ; and , as fir as we have been able to learn , what vrasspired was nearly as follows : — -Oa the night in question , the servant gill appeared to have gone to bed sa usual , but being concerned in the plot , did not andress herself . Shortly after she retired her mistress -went to her room to ask her some questions as to the ttata in -which she had left the fires . Tbe servant haTing satisBed hex on this point , she departed , and went into her own room . In about a quarter ot an hour afterwards the servant , being on tee alert , heard her mistress open her roera door and walk into tbe bed room Of- her lodcer . locking that door after her . Tne servant

      then slipped oat of the house , gs . re the necessary information , and in a few minutes four strange men ( the husband sot bti&s one of the party , but remaining &t ft neighbour's , 'waiting the issue of the affair ) entered the house , broke open the bed room door , dragged both parties out ef the room , and most crnelly beat Mr . A ., itfiicting three -wouads in his neck , apparently with a sharp instrument , cad otherwise abused him so severely that his life was despaired of . A report was prevaltnt ia town last night that 'be had ditd during the afternoon bu « there ia no truth in this jumour . We tan state oa the best autboriij that te is . still alire , ard hopes are tnttxta&ed ef ias . recovery . "

      Extraordinary Trotting Match : —On Tuesday afternoon a number of the sporting world as-Bembled at thecxtensivo enclosure attached to the Rosemary Branch Tavern , for the purpose of witnessing an extraordinary matohr-i 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 hour , wiih a monkey for its rider . The novelty of the affair attract sa , in addition to the betting men and cognoscenti mhorsf flesh , an immense assemblage of spectators , including several ladies resident in the neighbourhood in their equipages . Tho monkey of course was the * ' lion" of the day , and according to the cenditions of lhe match , ho was to be

      booted , spurred , aiid otherwise attired after tbe fashion of the jockies at Epsom or Newmarket , and was to ride the . pony in the usual style , with eaddle and bridle . The monkey originally selected for the -undertaking .. is-tho property of a foreigner ; but in consequence of his makingan 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 . Batty , tho celebrated equestrian manager , was applied to for the loan of one of his trained mo ; . key . « , and that gentleman selected " Si # nor Jocko , " who had alroadjearnad considerable repuf tation by Ms performances in the circle at . , tho Surrey and o ^ her metropolitau and provincial theatres .

      At the appointed time the " Stgnor" made his appearance , attended by one of the rou ^ h-riders belonging to Sir . Batty ' s establiahment . He was dressed a la Chifney , or Scott , hia jacket and buckskins being built by a first-rate west-end Schneider , and his top-boots would have doue honour even to the renowned Huby . The colours ho sported wero red and white , and . in his . right . . ' .-paw he carried a handsome ridintj whip , and also wore a pair of small spurs buckled rouna his boots ' . Tho pony he was mounted on i 3 a very fast trotter , but liotwith-tanding his performances , time was in

      this instance backed at odds . After the arrangement of-the u . ual preliminaries the start took place , Mr . Burke , and a gentleman , the friend of the party who had tsken the bet , cantering on each side of the pony , with one or two ethers galloping in tho rear . He performed the distance in fifty-six " minutes- and fifty-three seconds of tho given time , consequently having three minutes and . seven seconds tosparn , and was not at all distressed . The Sigpor , rode iu firstrate style , cams in with his whip in his . mouth , and appeared quite conscious of his own merits as an equestrian . It is said that this feat is unparalleled in the annals of the turf .

Sir James Gjuham mivomiccd that 3 t the Jafe period which the session had now reached , it was the intention of Government to press only tho early clauses ( which are those relating to tbo continuance ani powers of the Commission ) , together with some tnifcellaueous provisions , relating-principally , . to casual poor and lunatics , and to tho quaiifjcat'ioiis andpoweis ofsuardiana . In tho next session , tho Government , he said , would introduce a fresh bill , embodying the clauses now to bo dropped . Considering this altered ttita of things , he hoped that gentlemen oppofrito wouid forbear from insis'ingon tho amendments ef which they had given no'ice .

      Mr . Sharra ^ n Crawford ' s amendment , to KW the Irish Poor Law Commissioners power to grant outdoor relief , and Mr . Fielden ' s amendment , that the Bill be no further proceeded with till a full inquiry has been made into tho effects of the law oh tho condition of the working classes , were boih lost by large majorities . A great number of the clauses of rhe 13 : 11 were struck out by the Ministers , and the remainder were assented to , after some opposition and some divisions . The House afterwards discussed the Australia Bill in Committee , and adjourned to two o ' clock .

      Wednesday ^ July 2 $ . On the briuging up of the report oa the Poor-Law Amendment Bill , - Mr . Kscoit moved a c ! au ? o , that it shall bo lawful for all B iards of Guardians of the poor in England and Waifs to ^ rant such relief oa in their judgment sbali be nece ? = ary to poor persons at their own homes , any order , rule , or regulation of the Poor Law Coax-. mifs ; oner 3 notwithstanding . He had taken gre'it pains to get at what was the principle of tho Poor-Jaw , but was stiil ignorant of it . If its principle were the denial of relief except in the workhouse , then he sireuuously opposed it , and believed that it could not leng stand . A 3 a resident ia an agricultural district , ho knew from personal experience

      that tne m-door labour test was productive of the very worst effects . The honest , hard-working labourer refused to go into the workhouse , and iingerei on till poverty and disease broke him down , while tbe > iileand profligate went into it , and got fat . Ho freely admittedthat there were evils contingent on the adoption of his proposition , but on the whole he thaught that these evils were lesser in amount than those attending the workhouse test . He knew instances in which Boards of Guardians violated the law by giving out-door relief , under tho 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 winter laid its iron grasp on the poor .

      On a division the clause was rejected by a majority of 50 against 55 .

      THE CHARTISTS . On reading the order of the day for going into committee 0 ! supply . V Mr . T . Dnj ^ coMBE rose , pursuant to notice , to move fur a copy of the depositions taken on the trials of John Mason , a Lhariit-t lecturer , aud seven working men , at the late quarter sessions for tha county of Stafford , together with copies of the indictments , the notes cf the chairman taken at the trial , and the names of the ma-sistrates and iurv before whom thev

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

      Lord isiXDox vrouid put it to the Hon . Gentleman whether it was quite fair to interpose on this occasion , when there was no one present who - * ras conversant with tho subject . He suggested a delay of a day or two , in order that time might be given to communicate with the magistrates . That would bo more convenient , and perhaps fairer . Mr . T . Dukcombe thought it was rather extraordinary thai the Noble Lord should ii ; tarrupt him after the notice which had been on the papera whole day . Fairnes 3 ought to be shown , not to tho chairman of the quarter sessions alone , but to the eight individuals who were now ia Stafford gaol , having been , as he contended , illegally committed . If nobody in the House knew abom the circumstances , he

      would Jet them know . His object was that the House and theconntry should know what the working classes were suffering for their opinions . If these indiyidnals bad been tried at the assizes , or before any tribunal but the court of quarter sessions , they would have been honourably acquitted by the jury . Ho . w ever , be was in the hands of the House , and if the Right Hon . Baronet would say , that on Prld ? y W somo early day he should have an opportunity of bringing theoase forward , he should bo content to waive the right he had to bring on a question of grievance on reading the order for going into supply . He said that this was an unjust conviction , and the right of the House of Commons of holding inquest of public ericvaEces would be at an end if these men

      were to be tried and convicted , as they had been , without notice being taken of it . ' ¦ ' ¦ Sir J . Grahasi said , that it was clearly impossible that the committee of supply could close that night , and he thought that any other supply-day would , to the Hon . Gentleman ' s sense of justice , be much more advantageous for bringing . forward this subject ; because , by that time , the chairman , and magistrates might be comnnraicated with , and both sides cf tho case be fairly presented to tha Honse . He waa not aware of the circumstances until last night ; when the Hon . Gentleman gave notice of his motion he was not aware that thcBe parties had even been

      apprehended . There were no papers m 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 Eon . Gentleman might state . Any one who read the petition would see how grave were the charges it made ; there were charges against tho constable , against the magistrates , and the chairman of the quarter sessions , who was accused of violating "his oath , and the jury of perjury . " Mere grave subject of consideration could scarcely be brooght forward , and , as he had already observed , he rr&s not now in a situation ' vie gniir nponif .

      Mr . T . Dtocombe said ; if the Right Hon . Baronet in the private communication he had held with him that evening , had not said that the Government would not institute any inquiry into tho 8 ubjeot , and that he ( Mr . Dunoombe ) must act upon his own discretion , he would not now have pressed the matter , nor would he do so , as he understood the Bight Hon . Baronet to say that ho should fcave an opportunity on Friday . : 3 ^ : Sir . J . Graham explained , that what he had said to the Hon . Gentleman was , that he would not make any engagement to enter into any such inquiry , unless the petition contained some charge against the magistrates or tho constituted authorities . He repeated , that he would not enter into the inqttiry unless he received some official communication impugning the conduct of the magistrates .

      COyENTItTT . OEFEAT OP THE ANTI-CORN LAW AND COM

      PLETE SUFFRAGE EARTY . Tho Anti-Corn . Law men made th «\ r finaVsttuggle in Coventry , ' on Tuesday last . For a week previous they had potted the town with bills , announcing a meeting to bb held in the county II&ll , which were headed , StahvatION- ' TStARYATIOnI ! StaBVation ! !! and called on tho people to attend in their thousands ^ and unite for the purpose of obtaining the only remedy now lefc for the people ' s distress—Complete Sufirage . r ? A letter , inclosing one of the placards , was

      forwarded to IVIr . White , of Birmingham , which waa read by him to a Chaftist meeting , upon which it was respJved that he shpuJd comply with 1 the request contained in the letter , and proceed to Coventry on tho day of meeting , as itappeared that great exertions were being mad « to thrust the Complete Suffrsge movement before the country , under the sanction of tho men of Coventry . ; At twelve o ' clock , the county Hall was crowded , whilst hundreds were outside the doors who could not gain admission . Mr . Libley Whittcm wats unanimously called to the chair .

      The Chaikman briefly alluded to the object for which the meftting was called , and introduced Mr . Taunton , who rose 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 moving the resolution . Mr . Broomeielp 8 econded the resolutioni which was carried una , nimously . The Rev . S . Watts ; Baptist Ministeri then moved the following resolution : —

      " ThatJ m the opinion of this meeting , the evils enumerated are iuainly attributable to class legislation . Thit the ¦ ¦ re stricted' and unequal distribution of tho elective franchise , and the absence of any efficient pro ection in its exercise , have enabled tho landed interest , leagued with the representatives of other pestilent monopolies , to obtain a paramotiDt ascendaucy in Parliament , thereby enabling them to sacrifice the interests q ! justice and humanity to their eordid views of personal aggrandisement /' Mr . JacobBrowextseconded the resolution , which was pus from the chair and unanimously agreed to . It is necessary . to stato that the crowd outside the hall was so treat that the meeting was adjourned to St . Michael ' s chnrchyard , which adjoins the County Hall .

      Mr . David Buckney moved tho third resolution , which save rise to the oppositionlof tho Chartists ; ic was " asfollows ' : . " That in the opinion of this meeting the opening of the ports for the free importation of corn would ba productive of immediate relief ; but-, that the only permanent ' security for the people . against the crying evils inflicted by unjnsfc legislation is to be obtained from a , Houpo of Commons ropresenting tho wholo people , and elected upon the principles laid dewn in tho document . called the People ' s Charter , and adopted by the conftrenco of the middle and working classes , held in Birmingham , in tha month of April last . " : : \ Mr . Cash seconded the resolution .

      Miv Peteii Hoey then addressed the meeting , and was loudly cheered . He proceeded at great length to shew that tho free importation of com would not produco the benefit which the resolution asserted . He objected to tho-latter part of the ^ resolution which referred to tho Birmingham Go ) iferenco , and eaid it was got up for tho purpose of proping wp the Corn Law Repealers . He also pointed out the immense quantity of land which was uncultivated , as a ' moan ' s of supplying labour and food to the starving people , and said that the Charter alone could remedy tho existing misery The rain which was falling for upwards of an . hour ,. - ' now-. increased , so much as to compel the meeting to aiijuurn to the County Hal } , and after the confusion , had ceased which was caused by-the riifji-to obiaingood , places , ; - - ' . ' . '

      Mr . Stoddart arose , and was received with loud cheers ; ' He said lie intended to move that the latter part of the resolution , . referring to the Birmingham Conference , bs erased . He could n ' o't nnderatand what they meant by parading their complete suffrage nostrum . If they were Chartists , let them fall into 1 ho . ranks of the people and be elected to office if they were-to . take an active part . If they refused to do ' so , they Were noi Chartists , Who had autho- ' riscd the parties present to take the course- they were theii pursuing ? He had not authoriped them ; and he was determined that anything brought forward- by them which was not in strict accordance

      with Chartist principles , should meet with his disapproval . The working men of England had been too often made the dupes of designing parties , and lest the last sentence contained in the resolution , might be construed into an approral- ' . of the Complete Suffrage movement , he was reaolvea tb take the sense of the meeting on it , lest ; it should go forth to the world that the men of ( Coventry were in favour of the Complete Suffra > je movement . He advised the working men to Biaddi firmly by their own organisation—the National Charter Association , and never again to place power in the han ds of the middle classes to deceiVe them . Mr . Stoddart Concluded by moving : —

      "That the words referring to the Birmingham Conference bo erased , " And resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Thojias Williams seconded the motion . Rev . J . Gordon , Unitarian Minister , arose to address the meeting , when a shout for ¦ ¦ 'White " was raised from all parts of the meeting , upon which Mr . Gordon gave way . Mr . George White then stood forward , and was received with loud oheersv He said he felt proud of the opportunity thus affordtd hint Of meeting lhe middla-classes , aud he would take care that before they left that meeting they should know what the working men meant . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho was

      rejoiced at the opportunity which was affjrded him of explaining his views for himself without being subjecD to the ; dis . hone $ t colouring of a Whig or Tory newspaper . The working mon of Eri ^ laiid bad assisted the middle claEScs to get the Kiform Bill . They were led to expect an improvement in their eonditioh through the operation of that Bill . But had they derived the promised benefit . ? ( No . ) Let the oppressed and impoverished hand-loom weavers of Coventry answer—had it increaBed their wages ? ( No ;) . ¦ ¦ No , on the contrary , the very men whom they had struggled to invest with power had proved their bitterest foes . Had they not passed the Poor Law Amendment Act ? ( Oheers . ) Had they not filled the land with police spies aud bludgeon mciil And

      now , he would ask those gentlemen who wanted to repeal the Corn Laws , hovf was it that they who were talking of giving the poor man a big loaf supported the New Poor Law , which allotted a pauper five ounces of bread for a meal ! ( Loud and continued cheering ) . If they , really wanted the Charter why not join with the working men to obtain it ? Why nos join theMatidnal Charter Association ? Why talk about Complete Suffrage f ? - The Peopled Charter was Corapleto Suffrage , but Complftte Suffrage was not the Chartor . At the time that , Q'Cdhnell was returned for tho county of Clare , he avowoa ; himself a Radical Roformer , and waa congratulated by Mr . Cobbett on the occasion , but afterwards at a , meeting in Dublin , he declared

      himself a Constitutional Reformer , and Cobbett remarked very justly , that Mr . Q'Connellvvas shifting his ground , and ma . de use of the following words : — ^ Radical Reform is Constitutional Reform , but Constitutional Reform iauot Radical Reform . A mare is a horse but a horse ishot a niarft "—( laughter ) —so it was vyitb Coinpjeto Suffrage . They might be deceived by that . term , but there was no means of deceiving them whilst they abided by the Charter . He then ¦ went oil at greai iengtb , to shew the meeting the manner in which the various political tricksters took up principles which were popular n , s a means of gaining their own Belfish purposes , and laid them down whenever it suited them , lie shewed up the object which the middle classes had in view , namely , the extension of trade , and said that the people of Manchester had the cotton

      trade extended to each a degree ; that they were scarcely able to live , and he would appeal to themselves and ask ; whether the increase of the ribband trade had bettered their condition ? Had they not been reduced time after time until they we ' re brought to extreme poverty ! < Ycs that ' s right . ) Mr . White proceeded to expose the fallacy of the propositions brought forward by ^ the V 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 sent to clothe foreigners , whilst the men who mado it were almost naked . He therefore advised them to have nothing to do with the Complete Suffrageites or Corn Law Repealers , but to stand firmly by the Charter and the National Chaiter Asspciation , and concluded by supporting the amendment :

      Rev . J . Gordon opposed both resolutions . He was favourablo toUnivoreal Suffrage , and / considered the other points as guards for its exercise . He would

      Untitled Article

      therefore ofeject to the Charter as a whole . He like ? wise objeoted to some of Mr . White ' s statements , and affirmed that the middle classes were not the tyrants that Mr . V / hite represented them . Mr ; Rattkay sapported the resolution . He said that although a staunch Chartist he was inclined to adopt means for reconciiine the middle and working Classes . He then read an extract from a newspaper which was copied { loaiBlackwood ' s Magazine , setting forth that if the middle classes were induced to throw themselves into the irms Of the Chartists it

      would ruin the landed aristocracy . For these reasons he would wish to secure the assistance of the middle classes . : ; ; : : Mr . Peter Hoev arose for the purpose of answering Mr . Gordon . He said that Mr . Gordon was in favour of giving every matt avote ; 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 might not be able to eat : the horse might as well b ° turned to graze on a causeway . ( Loud laughter . )

      Mr . David Bhaw , 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 be devised to remedy the evils that existed . / ' ¦ ' ;! ,- > ' : '¦ ¦ " " ;¦ , . - ¦/ ¦ , -- ' ~ . ' - ' : ¦ ' -w ' ¦ ¦' ¦ .. ¦ /' : ¦ / ¦ ¦¦; - - ¦' ; ' - Mr . Robert Mahon : supported the amendment , and siewed that the middle clashes did not understand their own position . It was the interest of the shopkeepers to assist the working men to secure : good wages , as their profits would be thereby increased , whilst it was the interest of manufacturers to reduce wages ; they ought , therefore , to look for the support of the shopkeepers , but could not expect that ' of the mahufacturers . He would therefore , appeal to those having a . similar interest with thflttiselves , to . join their ranks ; and by / giving th . eir cordial co-operation , put an end to the present agitation .

      Mr . Datid Buckney then replied , and after making various observations on the speeches of the parties whO had supported the a mendment , he ; concluded by urging the necessity of passing the original resolution . ; The Chairman then put the amendment , and requested them to hold up both hands , when an iraniense forest was upheldj accompanied by loud cheers . - \ .- ' .

      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 . Ho 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 Majesty to dissolve the preseni Parliament , and call men to her Councils who would make tho People ' s Charter the Jaw of the land . " . Mr . Robert Maiion seconded the proposition . . Mr . G . White , being a » ain ioudly called for , supported the amendment in a long address , during which he was frequently cheered . The amendaient was then put by the chairman , and carried unanimously , with the exception of tvyo hands . .

      The Chairman then declared the amendment carried ; and 1 ho annouuceineut was received with vehement cbeers . Acpminittee of four was then appointed to draw np the . Memorial to her Majestyj , to bo afterwards signed by the Chairman . On the motion of Mr . White , throe cheers were given to the Chairman for hy impartial conduct . The Chairman inado a suitable acknowledgoient ; after which three enthusiastic cheers were given for the People's Charter , and three for Foargus O'Connor , 'after which the zooming soDarated .

      Mr . White invited all who intended to join tho National Charter Association to follow hini to the Chartist room , in Palmer-lane , whert ? addressss were delivered by Mr .

This healthi state of public foeling , however , had not been produccd without effort , nor , without opposition : aaj the most deadly foes he had to encounter in his pro , gress to establish Tight andliberty were thosft ^ were known to the assembled thousands before him as the Aristocracy of Labour .

One by one had they shews themselves in their true colours at last ; and their rage and malice against him aa an individual , were exhibited in exact proportion as liis efforlj tended to produce independence 0 ? thought , and freedom in action amongst the Chartist ranks , and thus rendered it impossible for the iecdy to live upon eeotional differences , or personal attach , ments .

Alluding to the return of the Huddersfield anti-Corn Law Conference Deputation , he sarcastically asked ; " where were they" ! " Why were they not there to give an account Of their mission" ?

" Their causts received an impetus , and their principlts enjoyed a triumph that gladdened every heart , and : loosened every tongue . Gratulation and congratulation were heard on every side . Tho occasion was , O'Connor ' s longpromised visit . He was announced to lecture at ci ^ ht o ' clock in . the evening , in tho larsje pavilion erected for Wallett's company of equestrians . Tne streets of HuddersfltId , even at tioon , were lined with crowds of anxious expectants ; the town presentiijg more the appearance of a fair than the appearance of a market day .: It : had . bomv arranged

      to form in . procession , and nieet Mr . O'CoxNoa about a mile from the town ; and thus conduct him to th « place of meeting : hia arrival , however , some two hours before the time announced , joined with the wttiiess of the evening , caused this portion of the arrangement to be given up . Three bands of music , who had yolnnteered their services , entered tho town from different parts ; and , thoiiah they were drenched to the akin , their patriotic ardour was not damped . They played round the . t ' pWn in gallant style . At eight o ' clock Mr . O'Con . vor proceeded from his inn to tha plaoo of meeting ; accompanied by a great throng of working mo i . The shop "windows ajd entry-ends passed in his short route were lined with the shop-keeping class ; arid it was indeed

      amusing to witness the looks , and hear the exclamations and expressions of opinion , of these members of the 8 upremely 8 hort-sighted and truljpighprant body of sooiety . 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 ; scarcely a word escaped their lips ; but they looked < v ^ in spirit less sUence ; whilo those of their order who have not yet ^^ been made to ^ suck the hammer" displayed as much dcvilism ; turned up the lip of ecorn ; uttered Viperous words ; affucted as much contempt , as if the high and palmy cays of * ' volunteer armed association" and " yeotianrytsw " had not for ever tied ' . The spirit which has always actuated their order ( even to their ruin S ) was there

      manifest . There it was : tamed , it is true . There it was „• : teeth down , and unable . ; to bite . But there ix was ! and God help the poor Chartists should " glorious prosperity " ever come again before the working men acquire political power ! " The snake is only scotched : uot 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 alniost past endurauce / The front boxes reserved for females , were filled . Scores had to go away disappointed : Others determined to hear ' the words of truth from . this .-lips of the apostle oT . liberty , submitted to all the crowdings and crushings of an over-lull gallery . The sida-boxes were literally crammed . Not

      another 8 oulc 0 u ! d be crushed into the living mass . Such a sight was never vvitnessed in the town of Huddersfield before : and Huddcrsfield has long been known as the most public-spirited and foremost town in the kingdom . It has always been up to the mark : ahvays taken the lead in every useful . arid patriotic agnation . Hundreds upon hundreds of persons could not obtain admission . Even the several bands of musicians , who had so generously given iheir services , were forced to return homeward , disappointed at not having the opportunity to hear the man they so highly prized . Room for them , when they arrived at the doors of the pavilion , was out of the question . For some time after the arrival of Mr . O'Comjok in the pavilion , so loud . were the importunities of the

      outsiders 10 be admitted , that business could not be commenced : but when order w ; as at leugth restored , MK Jaaces Shaw , of Marsh , a master cloth-dresser , was called to the chair ; and ho bristly introduced the lecturer to the meeting . Sir . O'Con . nor ' s rising was 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 lecturer proceeded to review the past efforts and present position of '; Chartists and Chartusm . He alluded tohis first meeting with the men of Hudderifitjld , upvvards of seven years ago ; reminded them of his profession and promises then ; compared his performanoes whh his promises ; and asked his auditory to consider themselves a jury to determine upon hia consistency and generalship . He begged them to call to mind the fact that when he first came among the English working people , he of

      found them split up into sections ; one portion them working themselves to death to procure the passing or repeal of ona law , and another portion of 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 hia guide , and UNION for his motto ; & nd that the result of his efforts , seoonded as they had been by the patriotic and well-disposed amongst the working classes themselves , was seen in the present proud position of Chartism ! The world had never before seen so grand a spectacle as the order of labour at this moment presented to the eye of the statesman . Banded together by themselves ; proof against the wiles and assaults of their pretanded friends and known enemies ; determination
