      « Ml Bn 5 y Bidley said he attended on the previous Jfat » meeting at the Tower Hamlet * . He was there Sauced to s person who held an office on board the J ^ jjj which carried out Frost , Williams , and L ff lie was not at liberty to state either the office ria jaais of th&t person . But he would state to the l ^ ooon all th » ' that person told him . He said that * 2 ad » ruiw& s amerctiant ship , employed by Govern-* f ~^! j ] te oat transports .

"I then asked my informant , " said Mr . m& , " if Hr . Frost spoke of Mr . Feargus O'Conner . " 1 aformsat replied that he did , and that ilr .

      in , Sr , firstly , obserre that although aimed at me , t iKj Yard in your speech were true it contains not £ a ^ btet charge against me . If Frost said it , it j | p ~ jxo charge . If Frost thought it , it con-^ g | jo charge against me ; but it does contain s jp Kiotts charge against Mr . Frost , and to refute U c £ »? e I shall presently apply myself . If Mr . fgt itod what your ofidal friend represents frim to ^ listed , he must be either a great fool or a ¦ i hypocrite . A great fool , if he believed it , tc fcfjo fir relied npon me to the last , as to refer f « gaa reJatiTe to Ms trial to my judgment ; and tpti hypocrite , if he did not believe it , to have * i

      Jb *» , Sr , let me just make out your folly , so | B 1 laif fool may trace it to its source .

      ¦ oogh—you wish to hear something more daautactUl , and you ask , " Well , what did Frost ttf KJ was his intention ? Did he express any ffein 11 to his trial , or as to the noble manner in lBea 2 a poor subscribed for his defence ? Did he TtBfitaBg of his council ? " Xo , no , not a -word ; ikiet year oSicial informant once mention the name If&rga * O'Connor . But he does say someUung about ISESSAGE TO MB . LOTETT , which message , as 1 USer of course , related to O'Connor , and

      Bat Tii . Lovett , for harmony sale , would have con-Bfcdte ever , had it not been mentioned to you . But FJBietoHy drag O'Connor ' s name out of your nautical i ^ jjm ] MwwU-rin .

      scruple in saying , that Frost declared to the official , that he looked apoa me as in the employ of goTernment ; bnt , in the next breath , you say , that " Afr . Frosi always supposed lhai treachery did not exist in nan ' s Itosom . " Well , then , admitting , which I do most fully , that Mr . Frost was , and is , possessed of a most man ) y , generous , and confiiing disposition , dont you think that such grounds for suspicion would naturally turn his confidence to hatred and distrust ? Now , mark my reasoning ; Frost must be a fool or a hypocrite if he used the words , and , inasmuch as I sincerely belieTo Mr . Frost to be one of the most single-minded , honourable , deep-thinking , and generous men in existence , I prefer believing yon and your accomplices to be both fools and hypocriVea , to believing Frost to be either the one or the other .

      Now , Sir , let me , for argument ' s sake , meet Mr Frost ' s LOOKS by" evidence , for you only say , that he LOOKED upon me as being in the employ of Government . I join issue , and plead not guiltyv and defend myself thus . Is not one employed by another , firstly , paid for his services ; and , secondly , expected to perform those services according to the instructions and for the advantage of his employers ? Firstly , then , IhaveneTer been paid for my serrices , except eighteen months incarceration in a felon ' s dungeon , in solitary confinement , is to be considered as part of my wages , the remainder to be made up is every species of government persecution , government insnlta , and newspaper intolerance .

      Secondly , was the employment of two of the most able counsel at the bar , both opposed te my employers ; both being Tories , and Queen ' s Counsel , and one the ex-Attorney-GeneraJ of the Tories , and , of course , most anxious to prove anything degrading to a Whig Government , at an txpence of £ 1 , 000 , all advanced by me before a guinea was subscribed , likely to be of Bervice , and to the advantage of my employers ? Was it prudent to have instructed those able , powerfnJ , and searching legal examiners to make my employers ' employment of spies a leading feature in their defence and to have sat for seven whole days at their elbow , not knowing the moment

      the cat may jump out of the bag , and the finger of scorn nay point at -me , and aay , " Thou art the manV Was it prudent , or justice to my employers , to have excited general disgust against them for my own act ? and were my employers likely to bear all my taunts calmly , without getting the employed , who made the bargain , to come forward and extinguish their greatest , most bitter , and most powerful foe fer ever , by proving his delinquency . ' Was it fair for the employed to offer to prove a Government official guilty of perjury , and the Attorney-General of a perfect knowledge of the fact , provided he , the Attorney-General , would undertake not to prosecute him ; the employed ) for libel ?

      Now , attend to me while I prove my assertion , that Frost , if he said so , was a fool or a hypocrite . If he believed it , he was ' a fool , and for this reason—because he confided in me beyond his counsel , and his solicitor , who was his step-son , to the last . I went to see Mr . Frost npon the nigbt of my arrival at Monmouth , and when we had embraced each other , I said , "Well , in God's name , what is all this about ; what has brought you to this ?" " Why , your damned Chartist friends , , and Dr . Taylor , " said Mr . Geach . " William , William , hold ycur tongue . " " Sir , did you ever hear me mention Dr . Taylor ' s name ? " said Mr . Frost . Mr . Geach—No ; bu * . I know all about it

      Mr . Fbost—Well , Sir , if you do , you know more about it than I do , but don't mention Dr . Taylor—the dear gentleman never had a word of conversation , or a line of correspondence , with me upon the subject , in his life . Many sntgeets , relative to certain arrangement about the trial , were then discussed , ¦ w hon Mr . Fiwst' confided in each and all to my opinion and judgment , and thanked me , most heartily , but not for " BEIX » IN THE employ of gotebmient . " Well , Sir , I saw him upon the following-night , when the legal point had been made in his faronr by his able counsel . I saw him in company with his counsel and Mr .

      Geacb , and let his counsel say to whose opinion he appeared to lean , as to his conduct upon matters then proposed . Upon the third night , I again proceeded to his prison , but was told that there was an order from my employer , the Attorney General , cot to . admit me . Sir F . Pollock and Mr . Kelly , however , saw him , and , after their interview , sent Mr . Geach to request an interview with me . At tkat interview , which lasted till midnight , counsel were anxious to receive all the information they could , and Mr . Geach and 1 differed as to certain propositions , when Mr . Kelly said he wished to know what Mr . O'Connor thought , as Mr . Frost appears to confide much in him .

      Now , Sir , so much only I deem it pru * ent or necessary to communicate ros the present ; and give me leave to ask you whether Mr . Frost , the most confiding and affectionate husband in existence , was most ¦ likely to confide in a government official , or in the best and most affectionate wife ; and , to her , I beg to refer you for his opinion of me te the last , yea , after the last . I will just give you one of scores of extracts of a similar character from a letter of Mrs . Frost , who , thank God , knows justly how to appreciate my poor exertions on behalf of her husband ; she says : —

      " 1 have often and often listened te my dear husband speaking of you , and the great danger to which you subjected yourself . He used to say that you were too generous , cosFiDi > G , and good-natured ; bnt , my dear Sir , you may thank your popularity and influence for the many jealous rivals with whom you have to contend ; when was it otherwise with any person who sincerely wished , and honestly endeavoured to &err& the poor and really industrious . " This is one of many . Does that prove any suspicioa ?

      Again , suppose , for argument ' s sake , that Mr . Frost believed it , what then ? But , suppose he said it , npon mere suspicion , to a Government official , what then ? Why , that you would deprive Mr . Frost of every particle of public sympathy , by charging him with one of the grossest , foulest , and most foolish acts of ingratitude ever committed by man ; for , be assured , that no man's suspicion , word , or eTen oath , will be taken by an enlightened public , against good , plain , bold , unequivocal evidence .

      Perhaps , you may now ask why I contradict it ? My answer is / becanse I have , and ever will , meet every charge in its infancy ; because no public man ought either to consider himself above suspicion , or t * hold public opinion so lowly as to pass it over in c » n . temptuous silence ; because the plot was intended as a nest-egg for others to lay upon , if I had not thus addled it , . and destroyed your nest ; because , in proper time , it would be said , " O , you see , ke never contradicted what Ridley offered to prove , as he contradicted EVKEY , OTHEB CHARGE , SO HE MUST BE GUILTY ; " and then would come Mr . Lovett ' s verbal personal message , so long and so generouslt WITHHELD FOB FEAE OF CREATING DISUNION .

      Now , Sir , it is said , that " no man can venre two masters , " yet , am I obliged to serve three , and get nothing but kicks for my pains . Your GoTernment official says that I serre Government , Government sayj that I serve the Tories , and the Tories say that I serve the people . -Whese servant am I , then , that I may know to whom to look for my salary f Just listen to one word . On Saturday last , the Star arrived , conveying your information , and upon the previous day ( Friday ) Mr . Barkley , a candidate for the

      representation of York , did me the honour to Tiait me . The first word I said ni , "Well , Barkley , tb « FUSION' did not take plaee , though I am in gaoV " No , no ; you have knocked that in the head , and to you ought , for I hat long dome , with ih * Whig * , the people have nothing to uepeeifrom them , " said Mr . Barkley . " Well , what ' s to be the next more V said I . " Why , they swear now that tou hats got £ 20 , 00 * from thb Tories , and , O'Connor , they bate you with a most rancouroai hatred . "

      I answered , " Well , I regret to say that I have not yet received the £ 20 , 000 . " . "My dear fellow , " said Barkley , you need not tell me ; but they -would do anything to GET BID OF YOU . " " No , no , " said I , "but you misunderstand me , I wish them , both Whigs and Tories , to send me all the spare cash : tell them so ; and also assure them that I will never Bend back one rap of it , but that the next post shall carry it , just as it arrives , to James Leech , for the Executive Council of our illegal association , to help both Whigs and Tories , to the benefit of the only measure that can save them from perdition .

      What now have you to say ? and excuse me if I say that I think my position the most novel ever occupied by mvi ; paid by two parties out of three , and serving the third who dont pay me at all . Well , but come , you- shall have a dose of it now while my hand is in . Are the Whigs such fools as not to look to the performance of their employed servants ? and let us see what I could , or did , do for them . I never had a letter in my life from Mr . Frost , with the exception of one , about August , 1839 , inviting me to his house . I never wrote a letter to him . I was not in Monmouthshire for fifteen years before the occurrence . I never wrote a letter to a man in Wales . I never had a word of conversation with a Welshman . I never had a message from a Welshman . I never sent a message to a Welshman . I was not in England FROM THE TIME THAT THE PROCESSION TO

      MONMOLTH WAS PROJECTED , UNTIL A FEW DAVS BEFORE IT TOOK FLACE . Now , what have you to say ? I will give yon , or your official , or any other person or persons , a reward of £ 1 , 000 if you prove to the satisfaction of John Collins , Henry Hetherington , and William Lovett , or one of them , that I have ever in all my life been guilty of one single act of deceit or treachery to my party or my political foes . Now , what do you say ? They shal l have every facility , and I will produce no witnesses , except your Government officials .

      I last week tendered the © live branch : I have siBce learned that my act of grace has but emboldened the faction . I now challenge them ; as they would not fight with me , they shall fight against me openly ; I will have no " bush fighting ; " no " sharp shooting from ambuscade ; " no half and half retractions and shooting of poisoned arrows from the unrelenting penitents . They shall face me . I am now in possession of all . They have refused peace . I declare war .

      One puling fool says , " If Feargus vexes m « , I'll write a letter of condolence to Lovett" Another says , " If my papers are stopped , I'll join the ' new move . '" So now come on with your sectional battle ; I am ready for you alL The Hume , Collins , and O'Neil clique in Glasgow , Bristol , London , and everywhere , come on . I know you alL Come from your ambush , and fight me fair . I can beat you and the Whigs at the same time .

      I now tell you , Sir , in conclusion , that when I can get a House of Commons to grant me a committee , I undertake to prove that Frost ' s crime was having mentioned his determination to oppose Lord John Russell at Stroud ; that was His treason ;—and that the Government were the mere tools in the hands of the Newport officials , who had long vowed vengeance against Frost , as he was not to be bought or intimidated . For Vincent's liberty , Frost periled his life , and sheuld Vincent live for ever , his days will be too short to repay Frost and his family for their sufferings . Let

      Vincent then be instantly ordered , by the country , to proceed to Stroud , there to marshal ! the public to meet Frost's oppressor upon the public hustings . Let the electors be taught to prefer a Tory , or a Devil , to Frost ' s noble oppressor , and let Vincent stand by the if oble Lord ' s side , and justify the acts of him who suffered to set the captive free , er better his condition . Let the Noble Tyrant hear the real verdict upon an appeal to the legitimate source of ail power . Let him listen to the voice of truth and to the resolve of Englishmen . Frost never suffered for me , but this , if at large , I had determined to perform for my victim , and ajrainst my emploter .

      I shall now conclude by assuring you that I am to be purchased , and that Universal Suffrage is my price , and nothing less . That you may as well hope to turn the sun from its course , as to stop me , while living , in my career . That I never did , nor ever will . , receive place , pension , or emolument for any service which I can render to the people . That I would not be the means of conveying one sentence of a working man ' s confidential communication to an enemy , to save my life . That I will neither be bullied off , frightened off , bonght off , or sopped off . That I will fight my way to the end .

      When poor Hunt left his dungeon , he looked with suspicion upon every man . Thank God , I have crtated a mere enlightened public opinion ; and when I leave my dungeon , I shall look upon every fustian jacket as a guardian angel , and upon every blistered hand as part of my armoury . Now , whether am I servant to the Whigs , or to the Tories , or to the cock-tails ? or am I to be Yonr obedient , Tery humble servant , Feargus O'Connor . York Castle , Felon ' s side , 20 th of 13 th month of receipt of salary for services rendered to n . y employers .

      P . S . I have just received the following letter from Mrs . Frost . Let the points which she makes , be compared with the points which I have made ; and ask yourself if any two things can be more similar . I did not write for this letter , or write at all ; but I had a right to expect something of the kind , and you find that Mrs . Frost looks upon the matter as I do—as a base attack upon her absent husband . She says : — " 14 , Montpelier , Bristol , May 17 th , 18 U" Mt Dear Sir , —I see by the Northern Star and the Dispatch , that there is an attempt at another thrust at you . What is it for ? Are your enemies maddened because they see that the people icill not forsake you , and will do your bidding ?

      " I cannot help feeling disgusted at this last base attempt . How dreadfully year enemies must be driven to their shifts , that they cannot get a person nearer home to malign your character . They would not dare charge my beloved husband with this slander , if he was at band to meet it . He is not a likely person to tell his tcife at one time that O'Connor was one of the most open-hearted and good catured men he ever met with—good natured to a fault—and directly after to tell a stranger that he was a traitor . No , no ; this is not John Frost ' s character . He never wrote fifty Utters , and trusted them to any one ; if he had , why should he tell me to remember him to all his friends , saying that he would not particularise any , fearing he should forget some , and wound their feelings ; and why did he nssne Mr George Rogera ' s letter , and no other , if he

      had written fifty ? Mr . Rogers had his letter before I had mine , and he sent it to me , fearing my letter would be detained . Whoever Mr . Ruffy Ridley i s , I think he has acted very wrong , even if his motives were good , which I much doubt . Of what use was his bringing it before that assembly ? You , Sir , know too much of public life to be at all affected by these things . You must know that the more honest and sincere a man is , as a Christian and a patriot , the more malignant his enemies are . They envy those virtues they are afraid to imitate . You have nothing to fear from them ; you have the mighty millions with you , and , I hope , tke approval of your own heart , aud that is enough . In conclusion , I hare only to say that if you are in the employ of the Government , they take a strange way of paying you your salary .

      " I see , upon looking again » ver this statement of Mr . Ruffy Bidley , that Mr . Frost has not written that yon are in the employ of Government , but had only spoken it How easy it is to make a- naa say anything . Why did Mr . Ruffy Ridley ask about Mr . O'Connor , more than any one else , and why was he in such a hur ay to carry the slander to the Convention ? Why did he not begin with that part of bis tale which bears hononr to Feargus O'Connor ! I am sick of the base trumped up tale , and must conclude with my own and daughters ' kind regard ! , aad beg to sab * Jribe myself , " Faithfully , yonr obliged , U , FfcOiT . "

      WORSBRO' COMMON . —The Chartists of this place wish to place on record their protest against the > hew move " and its concoctors , ( particularly Hetherington , ) and their unabated confidence in O'Connor and the Northern Star . BETTERING . —The new move has been Bonndly denounced here . Condemnatory resolutions were pasBed in the earlier part of the month , but inasmuch as the address had been signed by two Kettering " leading Chartists , " it was thought right to hold a meeting , and discuss the subject in the presence of the said " leading Chartists , " girintf them the opportunity of defending their conduct . This was done , and the resolution was confirmed , after hearing all that the "leading Chartists" had to say . An effort was afterwards made to vend the tickets of the " new more" society , but not one could he sold .

      westminster . —pubuc meeting at the late Wesletan Chap ^ l . Broad-way , Mr . Pitkethly in the Chaib . —Mr . Pitkethly opened the proceedings in an animated address , contrasting the conduct of the Whigs while in office , with their liberal pretensions when in opposition . Mr . Wheeler moved the adoption of the first resolution , "That this meeting deeply sympathise with the incarcerated political victims , and piftjyft themselves to support the Petition Convention in their laudable and humane exertions to procure their immediate liberation . " In moving this resolution , he was confident he should meet with their enthusiastic support . We must be deficient , not enly in patriotism , but in the common feelings of humanity , if we did not exert eTery nerve

      to procure their liberation—to restore them to those homes from which they had been so cruelly , so tyrannica lly torn ; they had f allen viotims to their endeavours to abolish the accursed system of class legislation , a system which had caused ? the very earth to grow rioh—rich with the blood of millions of her son * and her daughters who had died—died ere their time , through the wars and oppressions of a mind destroying , a soul-withering , privileged aristocracy Mr . Cuffey seconded the resolution in a very humorous speech , and called upon the men of Westminster to destroy the two factions , by knocking their heads together . Morgan Williams , fr « m Wales , in supporting the resolution , entered at some length into the case of the political prisoners ,

      showing the manner in which John Irost and his companions had been victimised , and called upon the men of London to renew their exertions , to trust no longer to men , but place their dependence upon principle ; to practice morality , good government , and sobriety in their own homes , aud no government would ever be able to keep them in tyrannic subjection , and concluded by calling upon them , if they valued the blessings of the widows and the fatherless , if they possessed the feelings of humanity and justice , to show by their conduct , during the ensuing fortnight , that they were determined to obtain the release of those who had _ f allen victims in their cause . Mr . Smart , from Leicester , had come from the centre of England , to arouse the men of London

      to assist them in the grand undertaking . Surely there must be something wrong in the present system of society , which demanded such sacrificeswhich compelled him , a hard-working operative , to come to London , to endeavour to compel the Government to do justice to the people . There was an anecdote related of the first George , that upon his landing in England , he told the people , in his imperfect English , "That he was com « for all their goots , " and was answered by a wag in the crowd , " Aye , and for their chattels too . " It was not so with him ; he was come for their good ; but he wanted none of their chattels . He was proud to tell them of the part he played in the Nottingham

      election , and to point it out for their imitation . We , the Chartists , were now acknowledged to be a party of some influence in the State . We held the balance of power in our hands , and he trusted the men of Westminster would look well to their representatives . For himself he was determined , that if the very Devil himself , with seven heads and ten horns , presented himself before him , he would vote f or him in preference to a Whig , considering him to be more consistent—mere of a gentleman . The resolution was then carried unanimously . Mr . Wilson moved the second resolution , "That this meeting pledge it ? elf to renewed exertions in favour of the People's Charter , and will never' rest satisfied uutil it shall have become the law of the land . " He trusted that

      they would , in the words of the resolution he had just read , renew their exertions in favour of the People ' s Charter . A glorious prospect waa now before them ; they had only to rally manfully round the standard of freedom and success was certain . The good ship Charter had struck npon many shoals , had met with many disasters ; but now that wind and tide were in their favour , they must spread their sails to tke favouring breeze , and it would waft them to plenty and happiness . Mr . Wilson concluded his eloquent address amid universal acclamation . Mr . Walton seconded the resolution , by ably explaining tho principles of the Charter . He was sure no one in the meeting could raise a resonable objection against any single point . He , therefore , called upon

      them to follow out their conviction , by joining the National Charter Association . It had been stated by the cowardly Whigs , that we were too ignorant to receive the Suffrage ; but he would tell them a bit of plain truth ; if we were too ignorant for the Suffrage , we were also too ignorant to understand their new humbug of the Corn and Sugar Duties ; the fact was , we were too enlightened for their purpose , they were afraid to trust animate matter with the Suffrage , but would fain transfer it to inanimate bricks and mortar . Mr . Morgan , of Bristol , said those who expected to hear a long or an eloquent speech would oe disappointed ; they might exclaim , what ! a member of the Convention , and not a good speakerimpossible ; but he would tell them that his

      , constituents had sent him to work and not to talk . Mr . Morgan then , in a humorous speech , detailed the resultof the interviews ho had had withLordPalmerston , the members f or Bristoi , and other places , and concluded , by making' an appeal on behalf oi ' Mrs . Frost , with whom he was personally acquainted , and detailing the insults and injuries she had received from professing Christians in Bristol , where she now resided . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Wheeler moved the third resolution , " That a deputation be appointed to wait on Mr . J . Temple Leader and Sir George Lacey Evans , calling upon them to support the foregoing resolutions , by their votes in Parliament ; " seconded by Mr . Tredwill .

      Mr . Skevington , from Loughborough , most cordially supported the resolution . He trusted that the men of Westminster would look well to their members ; he was one of the actors in the Nottingham election ; much cant was used by the press on this question . He had been told that if the Tories got in power , the reign of tyranny and persecution would commence ; but he defied them to show that the Tories had ever acted towards political prisoners in the brutal manner the Whigs had done ; they had encouraged the people to break the laws , to refuse to pay taxes , &c , when it suited their selfish purpose ; but no sooner were they in power , than they turned round , imprisoned the people for merely following , and that too , at a humble distance , the example Bet them by

      the liberty-loving Whigs . The Tories would long , ere this , nave taken office ; but as Sir Robert Peel confessed , they were useful out of office ; if they were in power , they would be compelled , spite o f themselves , to pass liberal measures ; but which now , by their opposition , they could crush ; as long as the people were content to be led by either of the factions , the Whigs were gratified and the Tories satisfied ; but he trusted the men of Westminster would follow the good example that was S 6 t them at Nottingham and Sandwich , and destroy the one faction by the aid of the other . The men of Leicester were determined upon the election of Feargus O'Connor—( immense cheering ) , —or at any rate to turn out the Whigs ; he conld not at that late hour enter into

      further particulars , but lie was commissioned , by the men of the provinces , to tell them that , if there was to be no plenty , no happiness in the cottage , they were determined there should bo no peace , no security in the mansion or the palace . Mr . Ridley , M . C ., supported the resolution in an animated address , and ably descanted on the profligacy and partiality of the Whig Government , as exemplified in the case of Cardigan , Waldegrare , Du ff Keane , and others . The Chairman then addressed the meeting in a neat practical speech , stating his reasons for adopting the line of conduct he pursued at Nottingham . He took the hazard upon himself at the risk of being called » traitor to the cause ; but

      he was happy to find that his conduct had been approved by the country ; an open foe was better than a deceitful friend . The conduct of the Whig-Radical members was a great injury to our cause ; by their half measures of reform , they deceived and deluded the people , fiplitting them into sections and parties , thereby aiding ministers in carrying their Poor Law and Rural Police Bilk . He threw out a suggestion that the men of London should walk in procession the day the petition was presented ; if it -was carried oat with spirit he thought it would be of great assistance ; but he left it to the men of London , as being the best judges of the practicability ot it . The meeting conciaded with the usual honours to the Star .

      WEST RIDING DELEGATE MEETING . — The adjourned meeting of the West Riding delegates was held on Sunday , May the 16 tb , in the large room over the Co-opeTative Store , Dewsbury . Delegates were present from the following places : — Dewsbury , Mr . William Mosely Stott ; Huddersfield , Mr . Edward Clavton ; Halifax , Mr . Crossland ; Bradford , Mr . J . W . Smith ; Lepton , Mr . Whittle ; Sowerby , Mr . J . Hajlewell ; Wakefield , Mr . J . Waring . Mr . J . W . Smith in the chair ; the following resolutions adopted .

" After a vote of thanks had been given to the chairman the meeting separated .

      LEEDS . —At a weekly meeting of the Association on Monday night , the quarterly report was submitted to the members . It gave a very cheering account of the progress the Association has made ; during the three months its numbers have been very much augmented ; it concluded with this very gratifying intelligence , that the Association was in a very prosp erous condition ; its members had begun to feel the importance of their object , and redoubled exertions were the result . We would say , Go forward in your noble cause , and soon will the tyrants' power shake before such determined spirits . After the report was read , three friends addressed the meeting in glowing and eloquent terms ; Mr . O'Connor ' s letter of last week was touched upon , and strongly recommended

      as one , if carried out into practice by all the Chartists , that would be the most effectual way of obtaining the Charter . It was shown that the tradesmen have very , erroneous ideas as to the power and worth of the working classes . They tbink that they depend upon the higher classes of society ; this is a general opinion amongst them ; they think nothing of a working man ' s penny , but when a carriage happens to stop at their door , even for the smallest trifle , we see them all attention , and ready to do everything which is commanded of them . In fact , as Brougham once said , and he said very truly , " they are the most cringing race that people this earth , " and to a set of persons who bring no benefit at all to them . It was said further , that this state of things wants

      altering , the middle classes want convincing , and that by the most convincing of arguments—an empty till , that they depend upon the working classes ; it was shown that nothing was so likely as exclusive dealing , recommended by O ' Connor , and the members were called npon to support no one but who would support them in their struggle for their rights . Only let the Chartiats see this in its proper light and act upon it , the Charter will not be long before it is the law of the land . The Chartists have the power , let them wield it in this manner , and down falls the tyranny of the middle classes . —On Monday night , the propriety or impropriety of starting two Chartist candidatesfor Leeds , at the expected election , will be taken into consideration . Chartists attend to this .

      CHESTER . —A meeting was held last night ( Monday ) , in this truly priest-ridden town , to petition Parliament for the "tree pardon of all incarcerated Chartists , " and also that tha " Charter become the law of the land . " We could get neither bill-sticker nor bellman that dare undertake to post our bills or cry our meeting . Messrs . W . Speed and John Burkhill posted the town with bills , amidst the smiles and scorn of this old city . One working man said , while wo were posting a bill on the Maypole , Handbridge , " He would sign a petition to hang us all . " At seven o ' clock the meeting commenced , and was very numerously attended . Mr . John Vaughan spoke for two hours and a half with a wonderful

      effect . At the close of the meeting , ninety-five signed the petition . A gentleman of the name of E . V . Parey , at the close of the meeting , stood up to oppose what our speaker had advanced . He made a miserable attempt indeed . At length he said bis time was short , shewing he wished to make his escape , but he was stopped by the groans and waggish remarks o f the meeting . At all events , we never expect to see his honor there again , neither will he soon forget the reception he met with . Upon the whole , Chartism is going on very well in Chester . Priestcraft is on the totter ; the workies are beginning to think for themselves , so that our prospects look cheerful . A Chartist sermon was announced to be preached to night ( Tuesday ) by a Mr . Chalinor .

      DUBLIN . —The Charter Association held their usual weekl y meeting , on Sunday the 15 th instant , Mr . Rafter in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Brophy and Dillon in support of the Charter . The 6 Ubjeot of the " new move" was discussed , and the following resolution was passed : — " That while we deplore that anything should cause a division in the Chartist camp , we cannot but censure the concoctors of any measure short of the Charter . " Several new members were enrolled . A communication from Mr . Rigby , of Chorley , was read , which elicited the approbation of all present . Chartism is now sure of sucoesa in Dublin . The great Ref « bm Meeting , held at the Exchange , on Friday , was a complete failure ; there were not two hundred persons present , and there were more of the working classes than of the respectables .

      DAISY BILL , ( Near Bradford . )—The following resolution was unanimously passed here , at the usual meeting on Sunday : — "That we , the Chartists ofDaiBy Hill are highly satisfied with the proceeding of the Petition Convention , and wo pledge ourselves to use our utmost exertions in obtaining money towards its further support should its sittings continue another fortnight .

      Street Uu3ss.-—Mournful Accident.-—-On Monday Morning, An Inquest Was Held At The House Of Mr. Foxcroft, The Yorkshire Hussar Inn, In Union-

      street UU 3 SS .- —Mournful Accident .- — -On Monday morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Foxcroft , the Yorkshire Hussar Inn , in Union-

      , peiore John BiacKDurn , ttsq ., on view 01 me body of George Henry Foxcroft , the son of the landlord . The deceased was fonr years of age , and on Saturday last had accompanied a man named Wm . Varley , with his cart , to Cha pel town , from which place they were returning about six o ' clock , with the cart partially laden with sand and gravel ; the little lad was sat in the front of the cart , with the whip in his hand , aHd when descending a hill , in Chapeltdwn-lane , it is supposed that he overreached bnuelf in attempting to strike the horse , when he felThsad foremost to the ground , and the

      wheel instantl y passed over his head , killing him on the spot . Not the slightest blame is attached to Varley , whose wife has had the child to nvarse , and he has lived most of his time with what may be considered his foster parents , who were extremely attached to their now lost charge . The event haa plunged Mr . and Mrs . Foxcroft into the greatest grief . The jury thought the-circumstance purely accidental , and returned a verdict accordingly . Sudden Death . —On Saturday evening , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Robert Catlow , the North Tavern , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Louisa , the daughter of Mr . and Mrs . Catlow , who was found dead , by its mother , in bed , on the same morning . Mrs . Catlow stated that they went to bed , after closing the house , about one o ' clock , and on awaking the child was laid in her arms . She laid her on one 6 ide to get up , and after being some time down stairs , « he went up to fetch

      her down , when she found her dead . There was nothing to account for the . death , aud the Jury returned a , verdict of " Found dead in bed , without any marks of violence on the body . " RoBBERr . —The premises of Messrs . Baines and Sons , printers , and Messrs . Bainrs and Newsome , booksellers , Leeds , were entered by thieves between Saturday night last and Monday morning , and cash tt > the amount of £ 120 to £ 130 in notes , gold and silver , stolen therefrom . The . notes were chiefly of the Leeds Banking Company . It is supposed the thieves had secreted themselves on Saturday night in the cellar—the entrance to which is at the back of the premises . In their course they removed two locks entirely from the doors , and picked the locks of five drawers , besides breaking open a patent safe . A handsome reward is offered for the apprehension of the offauders which we hope may prove successful .

      Dreadful Accident . —On Monday evening , about six o ' clock , as Mr . Herfield ' B WaKefield coach was entering Leeds , along Hunslet-Iane , a little boy , about six years of age , the son of Thomas Roebuck , a cab driver , fell oft the causeway into the turnpike road , when it is thought » he came in contact with the leg of one of the horses , by which he was driven with such force against the kerb-stone , that he was literally " Bcalped . " The skull , however , was not fractured , and the little sufferer being at once removed to the Infirmary , we are happy to say that , severe as are his sufferings , he is likely to recover . Not the slightest ) blame attaches to Mr . Herfiuld , who was driving the coach ; the youth waa playing with some others , and the accident was the result of his own carelessness .

      Sudden Death . —On Monday morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Norfolk , the Mulberry Tree Inn , Hunslet-lane' - before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Mr . Christopher Fraukland , of Hunslet , who died suddenly on Saturday evening . The deceased was an ardent ' disciple of Isaac Walton , and had been from home a fortnight in the neighbourhood of Malton and Scarboro ' , pursuing his favourite occupation . He parted with Mr . Greenwood , a gentleman who had accompanied him on his excursion , at the Railway Station , and proceeded towards his home , at Hunslet . He was then to all appearance in perfect health , and was soon after seen by a woman leaned with his head against a wall in Leathley Jane ; she enquired if he was ill ,

      and on being answered in the affirmative , she obtained assistance , and he was removed to the Mulberry Tree , where every attention was paid to him and a medical man was sent for . He was dead , however , before the surgeon ' s , arrival . The jury , after hearing the circumstances , returned a Verdict of " Died by the visitation of God . " The deceased was well known and highly respected by all the lovers of angling in this neighbourhood ; and was famous for his construction of all descriptions of artificial flies ; he has died sincerely lamented by all . We are glad to hear that those who respected in life , are coming liberally forward to relieve the necessities of his family after his death ; and that by the exertions of some brother anglers , a handsome subscription has been got up on their behalf .

      Reported Murder . —On Tuesday evening , an inquest was held at the Hope Inn , York-road , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on view of the body of John Holmes , a cloth weaver , residing in Accommodation Road , Rumour , with her thousand and fifty tongues , attributed the death of Holmes to violence—violence inflicted by his own son . This , however , was completely upset by the result of a post mortem examination upon the body ; and though it was currently rnmoured that the deceased had had his throat cut , we can assure our readers there was not the slightest foundation for such a statement . After the inquest had besn opened , the coroner first took the evidence of the surgeon , Mr . James Walker Howard , who deposed that , in company with Mr . Teate , he had

      examined the body ; that they found considerable congestion of blood on the brain , with enlargement of the arteries , and an accumulation of watery fluid in the ventricles ; that the left ventricle of the heart was mviah indurated and unusually thick , with a contraction of the valves ; in fact , that he was labouring under what was generally termed u enlargement of the heart . " From these symptoms he would , when violently excited , be subject to apoplexy . In the opinion of the surgeons , he died of apoplexy . It was proved by other witnesses ( his daughter and a young woman who lived with them ) , that the deceased was

      very drunk on Saturday night ; that he went home at twelve o ' clock ; that his son , Samuel Brown , and ho had a quarrel , but that the deceased was not struck at ; that he was in an excessively excited state , and was suddenly seized with a fit , in which be died about two o'clock on Sunday morning . Under these circumstances , the Jury , without hesitation , returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes . " Samuel Holmes , the son , who had been in custody from the time of his father ' s death , was then liberated . He bears a good character , and there is not the slightest ground for supposing that he in any way accelerated his father ' s death .

      Alleged Death by Burning . —On Monday last , an inque 3 t ( adjourned from Thursday ) was held at the house of Mr . Stott , theFleece Inn , at Bramley , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Sarah Perkin , of the Back-lane , hi that village . The unfortunate deceased had been tor some time afflicted with insanity , and in the month of January last , waa placed by the husband at the asylnm keptby Mr . Isaac Taylor , Grove House , Acomb , near York , under whose care she became much better , until , on the morning of the first of -February , soon after breakfast , when her clothes accidentally came into contact with the fire , and though Mr . Taylor and his housekeeper , Mrs . Atherton , together with other assistants , did all in their power to extinguish

      the flames , the poor woman was very severely burnt , and from the injuries then received it was alleged she had died . Some few days after the accident , Mr . Perkins went to Acomb , and insisted upon having his wife away ; Mr . Taylor did all in his power to dissuade him , and assured him that every attention should be paid to her ; the surgeon , also , Mr . Nelson , intimated to him the danger that might arise from such & step in the woman ' s then state . But all would not do , and she was removed home , where she was at tended by Mr . Johnson , surgeon of Bramley , under whose care her wounds healed , and he ceased his , visits ; at this time , however , it is necessary to say that there were two sma ! wounds on the back which had not healed , but from

      which he did not anticipate anything unpleasant . Mrs . Perkin improved both in body and mind , and it would appear that as her health returned she had ventured more , and sat up in bed without any covering , from which she caught cold , to which succeeded the influenza and erysipelas , in a severeform , which , in Mr . Johnson ' s opinion , were the cause of death . These circnMsiances having been all detailed , the jury , after some elucidatory remarks from the coroner , were unanimously of opinion that death had ensued from natural causes , and therefore returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God . " It is due to Mr . Taylor to state that he was

      anxiouB for the fullest inquiry , and himself and Mrs . Atherton attended the inquest . The gossips , who are ever foremost with % tale of wonder , sad clothed the case with horrors , and expected , we believe , that a criminal prosecution would have been the result ; they therefore , it may be expected , wDl be disappointed when they learn that Mr . Taylor is no way to blame in the matter , and that his conduct throughout has been distinguished by kindness sod humanity . RICBMOKD . —On Saturday night , the 1 st inst ., the cow house belontpng to Mr . Richard PiekersgilL of Brookes , near Richmond , was broken into sad fonr hens feloniously taken away .
