      HOX . SIFIBTH —Trjcks rP thb Plague " . For some time back a eorre > poDrience has been carried on between the Charts of Holmfinh and some of the members belonging to tha Anti-Corn-Law Repeal Assoc i ation of tha : place re ? pecting a discussion on the qu < sdon of the repeal of the C ^ rn Law 3 . The Chartists , after receiving three letters Jrom their opponents , one of them signed by Mr . George Robinson , Secre-ary to the R-peal Association , and stating his willingness to meet Mr . David Ross , and with him discuss the question at issue , ventured to publish a placard fixing the discussion io to take place in the Town Hall , HoJmSrth , on Friday , the third instant , where Mr . Ross would at ; end to maintain , against his opponent ,

      first—That a Repeal of the Corn L . iws , so far from improving the condition of the labouring poor , wiil only confer power upon that class of the coasmunity which hasalre . idy , by the introduction of machinery , sbiidged the com ores , and impoverished the condition of the lhbonr . Es millions . Sec 'nd , That the parties now seeking for such repeal of the corn laws , are not actuated by iiieh and patriotio desires ana intentions towards all classes of the community ; but ere rather seeking their own exe ' usive and espt cial advantage at the expense of ihe rr ? t . The discussion being thns before the pubhe , Mr . George Robinton , TT ; th a friend or two , met the Cnartists on Monday the 1 st insf ., a : the Shoulder of Mm ton !; : n , Holmfirth , for the purpose of making

      proper arrangements for proceeding with the same at the appointed time . It should be remembered that the Chartists had t-ken the Town Hall on their own re ? poyc ; bility in consequence of the Leatu-.-rj ha . Tin £ previously refus- d to h * vo any thing to do wi : h the expeuc * . I ; npp . ars they had cow got io into their heads by some means or other , that there was not likely to be any loss attending the exp ^ nee of the Hall , and they w-hed to go at odo half theexper . ee , and have 300 tickets , and the Chartists the same number . This appears fair enough if unaccompanied with any untair condition ; but ia the tree spirit of the faction , their failoffer was rendered odious by the condition with which it was accompanied . The Chai-ista who bad

      been at all the toil and trouble of bringing the affair into its present s : ate of forwardness were to have 300 rckets a ? well as the Leacner ? , and to have the benefit of all the surplus tickets , if any ; but should the Chartist 3 have told all their three hundred tickets before the Leagues had soli \ heira ; the Chartists were not to be allowed to sell any more , until all the tickets of their opponents hid been disposed of . With these conditions , tha Chartists refused to comply . The consequence was that no arrangement was agreed on for proceeding with the discussion . The next that was known of the iitention uf the Leasuers was by placards being postea , staring that no one connecied with the committee of the anti-Corn Law Association of Holrefirth , had

      hid anything to do with rhe getting up ot the discussion aarerised by tbe Chartists to take place on the 5 : h ins :., in the Town Hall , and no one belonging to that party would attend to take par : in tbe proceedings . They the ( Leaguers ) could * spend their time batter ; this piacard was sijrned G&orge Rcbinf-on , secretary to tba Holmfirth R-p-ai . A-sock : ion . The Cfeartists ^ sued a counter pla ( urd sluing that they had letters in their possessionr ^ ied by Mr . G . Robinson him .= e l ; , wcich would pn--ve that the Leaguers had bad something to do vdh the getting up of the discuEEiou ; that Mr . Ko ? s wcvild be in ibe Town Hall ai the time appointed ; tiut , the letter ? of the Learners wou ] i be rtad at tho EcetiDg , and every workirg man was emphatically called upon

      j to be at his post . The meeting took place accordingly , and by eight o ' clock on the 5 ih inst . the Hall j wa 3 well filled wilh an anxious and expectant j audience . Mr . William Cunningham was unanimonsly elected to tbe chair . The chairman , on opening tho business of ihe meeting , entered into a 1 somewcat lengthy detail respecting the corrsvpond-| ence that had taken place between the Leaguers and i the Chartists . After which , Mr . Binns read ihreo letters which had been received from the party rep-; resenting the Leaguers . Mr . Jaoes Bird ^ e'l [ then came forward ar . d made some siMeuicnts , th ? inttniian of which appeared to be to vindicate his own party ( the Leaguers ) from tbo charge of inconsistency , which he could cot bus , feel vjou ' idr&st

      ; upon th ^ m from the tn \? ct , that the remarks of the I Chairman , and the letters which had been read wer . calculated to have upon the minds ot thep'onl ' . | But what he ha < J to .-ay seemed to have so lutle ifivct ' i ; pon the roeeriD ^ , 'hat he was requested by Mr . Ross , and afec-rward ? by one of his own party to sit down , with which r quei-t he at last compicJ . ar . d by doingso . gavc great satisfaction to all parti' s . The Chaiiman then introduced Mr . David Ross , who was received wi : n the most rapturous applause . Mr . ; Ro = s comm € Eced his 3 ddre ? 6 wi'h a r : glit irocd will , . like ope who knew his work , and was williuu to do I i :. His work WiLs to give the death biow to fa ^ iion , and wtll he played hi * part . He smashed the bi .-i-; low arguments cf the Lessors to shreds . He

      stripped eff t > i veil with \^ hich th-y hide their deformity frcm the public ffft 2 > , and k-fi their naked uplines- exposed to tbe scorn and iVfiignation o ! an in > ulied and iiTocveri ^ hed people . H ; miitrastt d ihflife of the a ^ r : cukural labourer , a ^ d the factory slave , and by the nso = t corwincmg ari-umt-nt provei that . God and ratnre intended the lanci as the proper fi < rld for the labour of man . H ^ ts-i ^ . t the p-: cpi that their interests w re distinct from the interi > : s of fartion ; that th ^ -ir « trt : ; c- h is in the combination of numbers and intellect . >«" o ie-f-rt could do justice to his ? p- ech ; near ut > on two hours did he con viuce with his reasons and charm with his c-lcquencp Tbo only inteiruptions he received were from the cheers of his delighted hearers . He hn ~ wen golden

      opinions from the democrats of H ^ ljnfir : b , nnd lonn may be live to enjoy them . When h- sat down tbe hall echoed and re-echoed with thunders of app'nuse . The applause having subsided hs Paid it would give him pleasure to an-iwer any question that might be asked him by any gentleman pxcept rho-e wno had denied their own placards . With snch sjeMkrnen he would hold no ecu versa lion , le-t th < y should deny to-morrow whai they had said to-d ^ y . —Mr . Ab-. l Hinchcliff who had been taking note .- all the time , here stood up and said , a * he had nothing xo do . either with the letters wh rh had bern read or the placards , he hoped the Chairman would give L : m P'rmission to atk Mr . R-sc- a few questions . He then began to read fruin his note book , prefacing

      every separate note with , " Mr . Ro ?? ? nye . " But Abel is a man very slow ot' speech , and he imposed such a tax upon the na ' . ience of the meeting , that r . o assembly in the world could be found l f'D ;> to mduro without being liabla to the charge oi" rebellion . Sometimes he would be a minute or two in maki - ^ oct a line of hi « note 3 . Then some ove would cry good humonrecily , " Now , Abel lad , spell it , get on . " if he happened to give utterance to a sentence , the cry was , " Well dene , Abel lad , thou art « ivintr it them now ; go on , lad ; thou does wall . " Abel blushed not , he flinched not , but hammered away at kis own pace , which made some one cry ou , ' Thou art tbe best cast metal orator that ever I i-aw in mv

      life . " This scene lasted half an hour ; and was to the meeting as a rich des « ert to a fea ^ t . But as sscfi thins ^ may be enjoyed until they lose their relish , eo it was with Abel ' s performance ;—the impatience of the meeting began to develops itself in symptom- ; too strong to be maintained ; and at tb r < -que ~ t ot his frieads , Abel sat down . —Mr . G&oTge Robinson here csme forward , and was allowed to retail a little of the L

Tne two fir .-t jco-: ures cmbracrG tbe scljects of Eectricity , Galvaiii-ni , and £ lectro-Magn-rism * , and the two lauer the subject of Pneumatics . The first lecture was to so nnniero'jsy attended , in consequence , no tfouh ? . of tne extraordinary abii'ties of the lecturer , and bis perfect , beautiful , and extensive apparatus , being in a great measure unknown in Carlisle ; bet such was the gratification and satisfaction felt by the aucience on tbe Sr .-t evening , that tht remaining

      lectures were much more numerously ait ended . We bare do space for noJ'cittg the great variety oi subject ? connected with the useful and interesting sciences , on vrbich the lecturer treated ; but we cannot too much praise hi 3 style of lecturing , and his convincing and beautiful experiments in illustration and demonstration of tbe great and important truths which be uttered . The simplicity of language , and originality of thenght which he d ; a played in his observations , rendered them » t onco agreeable and instructive ; and while he not unfreqnently approached the eubl-ma and beautiful , his quaint and iaceticus manner of relating striking anecdotes bearing upon his EuHect , bad a happy

      effect on the minds of hi 3 audience . It is not sufficient , we conceive , simply to give utterance to truths , however ciear they may be to the philosophers ; but it is absolutely neces&ary to demonstrate those troths beyond tne possibility of doubt , to tho young and ud thinking , so that a taste and desire may be created in their nands , for searching after nsefnl knowledge . Mr . Richardson does this most effectually , for he never fails ia a single experiment which he Bakes in illustration of his subject . This is what renders abstruse studies agreeable to the ytung mind , and gives it a relish for the study of those sciences which would otherwise appear doll and unprofitable .

      " How charming is diTice philosophy ; Not barab and crabbed aa dull fools suppose , But musical , as ia Apotto ' a lute . " The presence of such men as Mr . Richardson is especially called for in this age of false philosophy and mesmeric delusion , for is is highly important to the well-being of society , that the minds of the

      ri--: n _ » qencrat : ' on should be properly directed , so tli . ° . t they may not only see , and duly appreciate the great truths of philosophy , bnt be thu 3 led "from Nature up to Nature ' s God ; " leaving far behind those low and grovelling follie 3 , which unhappily characterise the present age . " All nature Is but art unknown to thee ; All chance direction which thou canst not see ; Alt discord , harmony not understood ; All partial evil , universal good ; In sp ; te of pride in errlnjr reason ' s spite ; One truth is clear , -whatever is is right "

      The immortal Pope wrote those beautiful traths , but it has been left for such men as our friend , Mr . Richardson , to demonstrate them , and to bring them home to men ' s business and bosoms . In the course of ths first lecture , Mr . Richardson threw out a suggestion for the consideration ot the owners of coal nine 3 , where life was so frequently destroyed from the serious effects of fire damp . Nothing more would be re quired , he said , than a galvanic battery , placed at the top of the pit ? and a communication kept up by a piece of apparatus like that exhibited , in which was secured a piece of platina , which being subjected to the action of the battery , woald be heated to whiteness , and would at once detect the presence of fire-damp by exploding it . The mear . a were so simple , that there could be no excuse for not having them put into operation every morning previous to the descent of the miners , whose lives were to often , endangered by the want of this precaution .
