      present It was over all things necessary in public affairs to ' render e-ren the numberless undertakings sncct&sful that men should understand clearly their position : and , had the instructions of the deiesate mer-dng been properly respected , the explanation now required -would have been unnecessary . This , however , -was always the result , -when individual opinion over-ruled the opinions and decisions of bodies . He begged to state to Mr Donaldson that at the meeting r > f delegates , it wm agreed that the -whole list of names then nominated should be submitted for election in each locality , so that the council might be invested -with the highest moral influence -which the

      public voice could confer en a delegated body . For by this mode of constituting the council , each mtnitei ¦ wuuld possess the confidence of the entire localities , as well as the particular place which he would directly repre ? ent , and no one -would gain a seat -without carrying with him the esteem and universal confidence of the people . Suck a body , guided with-wiadosa , would soon prove a formidable power against despotic authority . A public meeting was to be held on the day following the delegate meeting , and it was fuliy arranged that the whole list ^ nominated to serve as council for the ensuing three aion ' ths , would have then and there been elected , so that each councillor would have held his ' aeat in virtue of the public ' vote of the people of Birmingham until

      toe various localities could have held similar meetings . How this had been set aside he did not know he had to leave the meeting . Mr , Donaldson—Had that been done all -would have been right Mr . Mason—We must therefore proceed as a provisional council . He ¦ was proud to witness the r umbers then present , and the spirit which pervaded thtw , it angnred well for future success . Several of the members expressed their satisfaction , and suggested that they should proceed to consider whatever measures had been prepared by the provisional committee . The Chairman then called on the secretary to wad the plan , which would be afterwards discussed seriatim . The secretary read the plan as fellows : —

      l . Tiiat the Union comprehend the following placts in the counties of Warwick , Wo-ccster , and Stafford , viz ..

That the whole list ef candidates be submitted for , election in each locality , where they « h * l | have the power proper reasons being assigned * to reject BUch l&xlbs as tbey may think proper ; the General Council having the power to judge wheth&r the objections are Bcfficient to refuse suth persons as n ay be objected to

      6 . That there be a Preeidtnt , Secretary , and Treasurer chosen by the General Council frem amongst themselves . 7 .

That any .-of the officers of the Association betraying the principles he is entrusted to preserve , or failing to do his duty should be see those principles endangered by designing men , or damaging the interests of the body by misconduct , shall be subject to expulsion by fete of the General CoucciL 10 . That the Council employ their-Ulent , wisdom ,

      aid zeal , to cultivate patriotism , to diffuse intelligence , and inspire the whole cf the members with the love of liberty—to promote socii . 1 intercourse , esteem , brotherhood , aiid temperance throughout our Association . 11 .

That the contributions of the members be voluntary anu-iii proportion to their means . The plan having been read , Mr . Rsece proposed , and Mr- Bull seconded that the first article be adopted . After soni . discussion , in which Mersr * . DjnaJdson , Mason , Fallows , Rcfece , and Farmer took part , it was agreed to nan , con . Mr . Chance moved , and Mr . Watts seconded , the adoption of the third article . Agreed to

A £ reed to nem . con . Mr . Reece proposed the adoption of the fifth article , and Mr . WeUford seconded it . A lengthened dioct ^ sion ensued , in which all present took part ; It was finally agreed to without a dissentient . The renuinirjg aracles were then agreed to without £ ny discussion .

Riot and confusion were now the order of the evenimr ; the police were sent for , and tbe

      speakers in vain attempted to gain a hearing . Order being eventually restored , George White moved , and Ruffy Ridley seconded , an amendment for the Cbarfer , but such-was the confusion which prevailed , that « v «» their stentorian lungs were unable to secure them u hearing . After three hours of interminable disagree ment , cheering and hissing from the respective parties , the chairman essayed to put tbe resolution and amendment , when both parties claimed tbe majority . A division then took place with the same result , and between elev « n and twelve o ' clock the meeting dispersed . The Leagne in this instar . ee , by delaying t » announce the meeting until tbe last hour , rather stole a march upon the Chartists , bat they took nothing by their motion .

      Chartist Triumph over Anti-Corn Law Physical Fokck . —A beautiful pptcimen of the real disposition of those pretended friends of the working classes , was exhibited at the Horns' Tavern , K ; nninKton , on Monday evening last . Immense p ' acards had been posted for a week previous , announcing a public meeting for the above purpose , and at the time for commencing business , Mr . Warburton , of dissecting notoriety , was called to the chair ; after which the Rev . Mr . Burnett , a dissenting paison , moved the first resolution , and delivered a long and prosy address . The resolution declared tl : a' the land of England being incapable of growiug ¦ u ffioieut for the Bupport of the poplntion , it was i » ce ^ ary to htruggletor a repeal of the corn laws . " the hust

      The motion being seconded by a person ou - ings , the chairman proceeded to read the resolution previous to putting it . to the vote , whereupon Mr . George White , of Birmingham , who attended the meeu :. « at the request of the Lambeth Chartists , arose in the body of the Hall , and addressed the chair . Mr . Warburton asked tho name of the individual who desired to address the meeting , and on Mr . White ' s name being announced ^ loud cheers were given by the Chartist party , responded to by hisses Irom the broad cloth gentry on the hustings . An indescribable scene of confusion followed this exhibition of 'feeling , and shouts of" Go on the hustings White , " arose from all parts of the crowded and spacious hall . Mr . White then proceeded toward * the

      hustings , and Messrs . Ridley , Rouse , and other active Charii&ts moved forward at the same time . This was the signal for a general row . The An ti Corn Law men oa the platform rising in a body , clenching their fists , and placing themselves in a fighting attitude , headed by the parson , who had moved the first resolution . Mr . Rutfy Ridley being the tirst to ascend the hustings , was unceremoniously knocked off by the fighting parson , another of th « gentry at the Fame time striking at Mr . White , but having missed his mark , Mr . White seized him by collar and threw him into the body of the meeting , and the Chartist body proceeded at onco to contest the platform , hand to hand , and in five seconds put the whole troop of well-fed middlemen to the rout . The Anti-Corn Law men attempted to take a table which was placed on the hustings with them , but it was wrenched from them

      by force , and Mr . White immediately mounted it amiciot the enthusiastic cheers of the meeting . Messrs . Warbnrton and Co . immediately dispatched a messenger for the " Whig body guard , " alias the police , and on tueir arrival they again ascended , the hustings . The uproar was now at its greatest height , and Mr . Warburton endeavoured to make the police do that which his cowardly squad were incapable of , but ; finding them reluctant in the matter , he ordered them to take Messrs . White and Rouse into custody ; this they al « o declined , and Mr . White still held h's position on the table , well supported by bis friends . He attempted several times to obtain a hearing , but his voice was drowned by hisses and yells from the Anti-Corn Law party . He then challenged them to discuss the proposition 1 put forth in their first resolution , and told them that i as they had failed in their attempt at fighting , they

      should have a chance of trying the more creditable and peaceable mode , namely , free discussion- A violent altercation took place be ; ween Messrs . Warburton and White , when some rough compliments were exchanged . The excitement was now at its highest pitch , the cheers of tho Chartists , and hisses of the anti-Corn Law men forming a most discordant noise . A slight pause now took place , caused by mental exhaustion , and Mr . White agam commenced an attack on the fallacies propoun ^ o by the ami-Corn Law party , he was hissed by the League men and loudly cheered by the Chartists , and in the midst of the confusion , Mr . White addressed those in front of the platform , and moved an amendment to die first resolution . Ano ; ner storm was then created , in the midst of which Mr . Warburton declared the meeting dissolved . Loud shouts of " Ridley take the chair , " resouudod from ail quarters , upon which the Chairman acaiu

      resumed his position , and was a ^ ain received by groans and yells , mingled with , " Go i ! own you Whig humbug , '" Off you body snatcher , " Sec , &c . Mr . Rid / ey then asoended the : table , and seconded Mr . White ' s amendment . He was loudly cheered by the meeting , but could not gain a hearing through the noise of Repealers , v . bo were backed by the " blue bottles . " Ths noise and confusion created by these pretended Liberals had the effect of causing hundreds of tbe working men to tatire in disgust , as it was quite clear tiu > se polite geutlemen would remain as long as they had the police to protect tiiem ; and , seeing the improbability of anything being done , we left the meeting , whilst Mr . Ridley was still on tho table , previous to which three cheers was given for O'Connor and the Charter . Mr . Rouse , above alluded to , is the man who stood by Mr . O'Connor when he was eo basely attacked ia the Town Hall of Birmingham . A Looker On .

      Lambeth Youths . —Mr . Brown lectured to this body , at Mile-end , on Sunday evening , after which an interesting discussion took place . Mr .

Fusseli . lectured on Sunday evening at the Fiura Tavern . Haunsbuby Park . —10 s . was voted to the Defence Fund . A Pcbmc MEtTiNG was held on Tuesday evening atjHemmingway ' s Saloon , Mile End-road ; Dr . Rowkett having been called to the chair , addressed thu meeting in tho usual talented maniur . Mr . Fraz- ; r moVfcd tho following resolution : — That this

      meeting considers that the evils under which the country are suffering owo their origin and continuance to class legislation , and that the investing the whole people with legislative power by the enactment of the People ' s Charter is the only remedy for such evils . Mr . Frazer in an eloquent manner supported the above sentiments , and m apologizing for the unavoidable absence of Mr . O'Connor , congratulated them upon the presence of Mr . Hill , editor of the Northern Star , and Mr . G . White , which was received with tremendous applause . Mr . Sherrard ably seconded the rewolunon . Mr . Hill , on rising to support it , was greeted with enthusiastic cheering , waving of hats , handherchiefs , &c . He stated that he thought they had appointed him to a

      sinecure office he had all his life been fighting against ; they had assigned him a post with no duties attached to it . The resolution needed no support , it supported itself to the understanding of every honest man , and they had already given him sufficient indications that they were satisfied with it . The timo was nearly gone by when { Englishmen , and especially working men—men who had no interest ; but the common interest of mankind needed argument to convince them with reference to the subject of the resolution , and he would not insult their understandings by attempting to shew that nature never designed , nor nature ' s God contemplated that despotism should erect its horrid front and desecrate the fairest forms of creation .

      They knew the evils they had to endure , and the source of those evils . They needed only information as to the remedy ; this was the tru * -, correct , and mo ^ t important field for their inquiry . They must persevere in their agitation ; they must concentrate thir energies to the attainment of their moral , political , and social rights ; tnoy must endeavour to make all the powers which uow worked against them work for them ; they must make nature stand for the first timo in the history of man right end up , the Cnarter was the ltver by which they could lift any weight no matter how ponderous , and to obtain it they need out to unite their energies , to concentrate their actions into one focus , ana no power could stand against them ; the union he reand

      commended was a union not of iht , ti ^ er thrf lamb , ihe hawk and the pigeon , tho kite and the spBrrovf , not a union with those whose interest it was to thwart them iu their holy struggle , but a union among themselves . Let the working m . ii be united among themselves before thev w ^ nt about claiming the aid of the middle classe .-f . Thoro was power enough in the hands of tho men of London , if united in the holy cause , to laugh to scorn the opposition of any GovLrnm ; nt . View it with its boundless streets , it . s innumerable courts and alleys , it was indeed , as Cobbett termed it , a " mighty wen . " Let anyone reflect upon tho immeuse ma ^ s of working men thero stowed away , all of whom were , or ought to be , Ci . arusts , and for

      whose enfrancnisement tho Charter was designed . See theso men , crawling like slaves upon the face or God ' s earth—men whoae intelligence called into existence all the splendid edifices and improvements they saw around men whose sinews formed that which their JnteJligeuce designed—if these men could only see their own interest , and concetitratedly pursue it , the very shadow of opposition would vanish . It need only to bo known that they were united . It needed only for the fiiu of union to float over their head * ana tvrauay would crouch before them like a spaniel dog . Mr . Hili addresbed tht . meeting at consir . erabi- leiutii , and departed auiidbt the rapturous piaiiuUa of he assembly . Tne resolution was then unuuiiuou ' .-iy carried Mr .

They attended our meetings occasionally . But what he Mr .
