      JiEEDs , —It having peon announced , that Mr . St&llwood would lecture in , tho Association Room , Cheapside , on Saturday night , " On the fallacies of the Corn Law repealers , " a goodly muster of both sexes attended . The lecturer was listened to with the greatest attention , while he proved , to demonstration , that an immediate repeal of the Corn Laws would neither be just , politic , or conducive to health , happiness , or liberty . At the conclusion , the lecturer earnestly invited opposition and discussion , but did not obtain either . On Sunday afternoon , & nnmerous meeting was held ia the above room , when Mr . Stallwood gave a most interesting account of his tour through the East and North Ridings , shewing the progress of Chartism , and pointing out what was necessary to be doae in our future progress .

      On Sunday night the abore room waa so densely crowded that the lecturer could with difficulty force his way to the platform . The chairman announced that Mr . Stallwood would lecture on the necessity of a change . Mr . S . then btepped to the front of the platform , and rivetted the attention of his densely wedged audience for an hour and a half , and was frequently interrupted by loud applause . At the conclusion , Mr . Stonehouse observed , that as this would be the last time Mr . Stallwood would have the opportunity of appearing before them for perhaps some time , he should move a vote of thanks to h m for his services generally , and particularly for bis splendid lecture that evening .

      On Monday , the Town-Hall of Hull was , for the first time , occupied by and appropriated to the business of its righttui owners , the people . A requisition , signed by nearly two hundred inhabitants , of whom upwards of seventy were voters , having been forw arded to the Mayor , ' requesting him to call a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present , defective sUteofthe representation of these kingdoms in the Commons ' Hotse of Parliament , with a view to its amendment , the Mayor convened a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , lor Monday , to by holdeu in the Town-Hall , at one in the aiternooa .

      It had been represented fohis Worship that this was a most inconvonient hour for the people , that great numbers who felt strongly interested in the matters of consideration to bo Drought before the meeting , would be , of necessity , excluded by this arrangement ; but he refuged to give the use of the hall for an evening meeting , and exacted from the deputation of requisitors who waited upon him , a pledge that the proceedings o : ' the meeting should not be continued after dusk . Notwithstanding , however , this disadvantage , even the Morning Chronicle

      is compelled to admit that tho hall was densely crowded . It was , indeed , densely crowded , and no mistake ; and would have been so had it been capable of accommodating a much greater number . A committee of the requisitors met in the Grand Jury Room , and tbe doors of the ball were thrown open to the public at half-past twelve . About one oclock , Mr . Padget , a working man , proposed that in the absence of the Mayor , the veteran Radical , Air . John Jackson , should take the chair . This proposal being secouded , w&b carried unanimously .

      The Chairman regretted that the absence of the Chief Magistrate , by whom the meeting had been called , should have furnished the present opportunity to his fellow townsmen of testifying towards him their good opinion . It would certaiuly have pleased him better to hare seen the chair in other occupancy , but since they had thought proper to call him to the office , he would discharge its duties in the best manner of which he was capable ; and he hoped he should have the support and kindiy consideration of the meeting in tbe office to which they had called him .

      ( Cheers . ) He held the first duty of a chairman to be impartiality—Cacax , hear)—ind he trusted ths-tthey would cot find him deficient in that necessary qualfication . He huped that all speakers would he heard patiently , and that the matters of discussion to be brought before them—matters in which the interests of the whole nation wero involved—would be seriously considered , and dispasiouately treated . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He would not further detain them from tbe business of the mectiDg , but would introduce to them Mr . John Peck , who had been appointed to move a resolution .

      Mb . P . ECX was received with loud cheers . He congratulated himself , the Chairman , and his brother Chartists , upon having come , for the first time , into possession of their own Hall . ( Cheers . ) It happened usually , and had always happened hitherto , that buildings such as that in which they were now assembled , and which were raised , supported , and uphoiden by the people , were occupied for the use and service of all parties but the people . ( Hear , hear . ) The working people had stronger claims upon the use of that Hall than any other party , but till now their claims had been always disregarded— ( hear , hear , )—and even now , the right they were exercising to meet in their own Hall , was accompanied with what he could not

      understand otherwise than as something very nearly approaching to a contumelious slight . ( Hear , hear . ) That was the first time in the course of his experience , in which a moeting called by the Mayor had not been opened by that functionary , and he thought that this circumstance required some better explanation than had been yet given of it . He was quite willing to admit that the Mayor might have many engagements , and he believed the meeting could not have desired to iniiict upon him any inconvenience ; but he did think tnat respectful courtesy to the party to whom he professed to belong , —that gratitude fer services past , rendered by those to whose exertions he and his feliow corporators owned their elevation , ought to have induced him not to forego iu this particulor instance the regular usage of the borough . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) If his avocations precluded him from continuing with them during tae meeting , he might at least have come

      down and opened it . What might be his reason for this discourtesy it was not , of course , for him to say perhaps his Worship might have been affrighted by the caricatures of Chartist speakers drawn by the venal press of tbe factious , and might have feared the compromising of hiB character aad dignity by some incautious or in temperate language ; he trusted however , that if this were so , the result of the present meeting would convince him that his apprehensions had been needless and that , as they were now upon their good behaviour—( cheers and & laugh)—bound ia some sort by the circumstances attending their occupation of that Hall , —every speaker who might be introduced to them would ses the necessity of exercising prudence , and selecting his words with caution , that they might bid effectual defiance to the spy brigade . He had been appointed to move two resolutions which ho would now read to them : —

      " Resolved , —lt \ . That it is the opinion of this meeting , that in consequence of tke present corrupt and defective state of the representation of these Kingdoms in the Common ' s House of Parliament , and the entire failure of tbe so-called Reform Bill , an organic change is necessary , or the country will be involved in one common ruin : —2 nd ., That in the opinion of this meeting , it ia essential to the well-being of this realm , th&t the Commons House of Parliament be elected annually by the free votes of all male subjects twenty-

      Untitled Article

      one years of age and upwards , without reference to rank or property either in the voters or members to bo elected . " The reading of the resolutions was followed by cries of '' Hear , hear , " and applause . . He was there to maintain the ; principles- involved ia those resolutions , and , in the terms of the requisition , to com * pHin of the defective state of the representation of the people in the so-called Commons' HouRe . There were many points in whioh that representation waa glaringly defective . ( Hear , hear . ) The first of these was in the fact that many of those who were nominally , were not really , represented ; because , for want of the protection of the Ballot , many persons who held the elective franchise were unable to

      exercise it conscientiously , or in accordance with what they considered to bY the interests of the country . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He complained of the representation being defective , because the present system conferred upon the representative an undue tenure of hia office . He contended that the Parliament which passed tho Septennial Act , had no right to do mh-that it was a stretch of legislative power beyond its due limits , fully equal to that of the Long Parliament which prolonged its sittings in defiance of constitutional usage for the term of fourteen years . The people claimed that they should have Annual Parliaments for the squaring and settling up of their accounts with their representatives . A tradesman who should

      talk of settling accounts onoe in seven years would be accounted a disreputable shuffling fellow , and he knew not why the same epithets should not apply to Legislators . ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) The people complained also , of the defeotivenesa of the representative system , inasmuch as it made the test of fitness in a representative to be not merit or intelligence , but property . This was little else , in his estimation , but a bonus to the landed interest . It would be , in his opinion , equally as reasonable and just to require that a man should possess two ships as a qualification , as to require him to hold landed propexty to the amouut ot , £ 300 a-yeax . ( Cheers , and laughter ) He maintained that the people had a right ; to select their representatives from amongst

      the poorest and the humblest , a these were honest and intelligent , and that these were even more likely to be fit representatives , because more intimately and practically acquainted with the wants and feelings and intercuts of the people ( Long-contiuued cheering . ) The people complained also that the present state of representation was defective , because of its unequal distribution of its electoral privileges ; numbers of small towns , possessing few inhabitants , and comparatively little importance in the country , had equally as many , and in some cases more representatives than other towns of vast magnitude , extentive population , and great influence . Of these several instances were named by the speaker amidst the cheers of the meeting .

      T / ieso were heavy matters of complaint against the present syst < m of electoral representation , but there was one which very far outweighed them all , and to this crowning grievance he would now direct attention . They complained of non-representation—( great cheering)—they complained that the damning brand of slavery was imprinted on their brows—they complained that they were subject to laws in the enacting of whioh they had no voice or power—that they were taxed for the upholding of a system which they disapproved , and by the operation of which their interests were eactificed , and they wore there to tell their rulers in a voice of thunder , that they would bear th « sethingsno longer . ( Loud and long continued cheering . ) They were

      there to demand that the artisan should be no longer shut out from the pale of the constitution ;—( loud cheers );—that he should no longer be excluded from his fair share in the Government of that country whose wealth he created , and whose interests he was at all times called upon to dolend . ( Cheers . ) They were there to demand that the pledges of the middle and upper classes , who obtained the power to vote by the assistance of the labouring classes , should be now redeemed by the extension of that same power of voting to the labourers . ( Loud cheers . ) Who carried the Reform Bill 1 Not the aristocracy ; not the middle classes . Tho people carried the Reform Bill for tho middle classes , and was it now to be said thai ; tho middle classes would not come forward to assist the working classes in carrying the Charter 1 the only measuro which could redeem the country from its distresses ,

      and preserve the middle classes from the ruin wmuh now seems to await them . ( Hear . ) If any class were entitled to be represented it was the poor ; representation was due to them on the score of justice , for under the present system there waa no justice for the working man . Let it not be said that the law was protection for him ; for while 11 , 000 Acts of Parliament had been passed for the protection of the rich , he would defy aay man to say that one had been passed lor the protection of the poor . ( Loud cries of "hear , hear . ") And why was this ! It was the effect of class legislation , by which all were represented except those wao were by every principle of justice and reason the most entitled to it . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The working classes need the fraoohise to protect their own interests , and why should they not have it 1 ( Cheers . ) Ths speaker concluded by moving the resolutions .

      Mr . Samuel Healey , in seconding the resolution , said he did go eimply because he thought every man ought to have a voice in tbe making of those laws by which he was to be governed . It was not right that Jack should have all the shot , and the officers all the prize-money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Tbe speaker said the Whigs had sacrificed the interests of the country for their own selfish purposes : they had confessed that the power was in the people , and they had been carried into power by the people , after promising what they would do for them in return ; and , after all , the only measure they had given them waa the finality Reform Bill , by which the people were made worse off than they were before , and England , instead of being the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world , had , under their rule , become a bye-word and a reproach . ( Hear , and cheers . ) After alluding to the distress existing in the country , Mr . Healey concluded by seconding the resolutions .

      Mr . Wm . Webster supported the resolutions , in a short speech , which he concluded by exhorting the working men of Hull to keep from the publio houses , and avoid intoxicating drink , by which they would prove to their rulers that they were worthy of the franchise , aud of every other privilege that could be conferred upon them . Mr . G . W . BuiiNa , also supported the resolutions , the entire principle of which he admitted , but in a loug rambling speech took occasion to make some remarks on the conduct of some parties , whom he denominated Chartist leaders , without , however , uamtug any particular individual , to whom he alluded . He spoke amidst some interruption , aud the evident impatience of the whole meeting .

      Mr . West , the late West-Riding lecturer , who was proeeut , also addressed the meeting in support of the resolution , and ia reply to some observations which had fallen from Mr . Burns . Mr . West spoke for nearly an hour , in the most effective manner , delighting , not only the working classes , but tho middle classes also who were present , by whom he was listened to attentively and loudly cheered throughout . The principles of the Charter were never more clearly explained , and a powerful effect was proiiuoed ou the minds of all preheat . An outline of his speech , garbled as it must necessarily be , would not couvey to our readers its real worth , and to give it entire is beyond the limits of space at our command . The resolutions were then put to the meeting by the Chairman , after having been read by the Town Clerk , and every hand in the crowded assembly was held up in their favour—not a dissentient voice was

      ; iearu . The Rot . William Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , moved the second resolution , for the adoption of the petition . He read the National Petition at length , and concluded by moving that it be the petition of the meeting-Mr . William Hornsby seconded the resolution , and after beiug supported in a few remarks by Mr . William Tate , the petition was unanimously carried amidst tremendous oheering . Mr Daniel Maloney moved , and Mr . Robert Lundy seconded , the next resolution , which was as follows : — " That this meeting pledges itself to an unceasing perseverance in every species of lawful and peaceable agitation for the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter until they be recognised as the law of the land . " The resolution was carried unanimously .

      The petition was ordered to be laid at the Town Hall and other convenient places , for the signatures of the inhabitants . This being the last , resolution , the Chairman vacated the chair , which was taken by Mr . S- Healy , and , on the motion of Mr . Peck , seconded by the Rev . W . Hill , thanks were voted to Mr . Jackson , for his unwearied exertions in the cause of freedom , and his worthy conduct in the chair on that

      occ . The motion was carried by acclamation . Mr . Jackson returned thanks ; and cheers having been given for the Chatter , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the people , the meeting separated at a little after five o ' clock .

      SOIREE AND BALL . That no part of the day might be lost , and that opportunity might be afforded to those whose engagements had precluded their attendance at the Town Hall , to testify their abidance in the principles asserted there by the town's voice , arrangements had been made for a soiree and ball , at the Chartists ' -room , Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate , where a most pleasing and well-pleased company spent a delightful evening . We have no offioial statement of the numbers , but suppose that about 250 eat down to tea , which was of the best , and accompanied by an ample supply of all the etceteras requisite to elegance and comfort , got up by the activity and kindliness of a Committee of Female Chartists , to whom no small credit is due for their share of the toiinese . After a due discussion of

      the tea , toast , tarts , &c . the tables were " sided , and Mr . Hill having been called to tne chair , reminded them - that , in the' midst of their rejoicings , they should remember always the Christian duties of patriotism and neighbourly lore , for the , exhibition of which he was happy to fiad that the Committee appointed to conduct the day s proceedings , had afforded them an opportunity . It had been stated ia the London newspapers that on the occasion of the baptism of the Royal Prince , the Queen would testify her sense of the recent manifestation of divine mercy on her behalf , by the extension of the royal pardon to such offenders as could be

      recommended to her for good conduct while enduring the punishment of their respective Crimea in tbe the dockyards or elsewhere . It had been thought that tke people ought not to permit tbia opportunity to escape without bringing under her Majesty s notice the patriot convicts , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and & memorial had therefore been prepared which would be now , he believed , submitted to them for adoption , praying that her Majesty would include those injured and outraged patriots in the list of those who oa this occasion might experience the royal favour . This announcement was received with great

      cheering . The memorial was moved , seconded , and sappotted in short but appropriate speeches , by Messrs . Webster , Lundy , and Jones . This done , the Chairman vacated , the musicians ascended the platform , and healthful hilarity and peaceful merriment was the order of the day for the remainder of the night . The vocal amusements , under the excellent management of Mr . Webster , were divided into two parts , of which tho following is a programme : —

      PART I . Song , " The Outlaw , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Tinker and Glazier , " Mr . Webster Song , «• I remember , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Will Clewline , " By a Stranger , Song , " Hail to the Tyrol , " Mr . Hodgson .

      PART II . Song , " The White Squall , " Mr . Hodgson . Song , " Philadelphia Lawyer . " Mr . West Song , " Kathleen O'Meore , " most beautifully sung by a Lady . Recitation , " Mario Bizzaria , " Mr . Webster . Song , " Scarlett Flower , " Mr . Hodgson . The song 3 and recitations gave great satisfaction to the company , and were very heartily cheered , they were interspersed with a variety of dances , quadrilles , country dances , waluas , &o ., so as to please all the tastes aud capabilities ot the parties . The amusements were continued to a late hour , and the company separated , every one very highly delighted . Thus ended what may justly and properly be termed a high day ia Hull tor Chartism .

The following is a copy of the Memorial : — To the Queen ' s Most Excellent Majesty , The Memorial of the undersigned Inhabitants of Kingston-upon-HulI , Humbly Sueweth , That your memorialists having heard with pleasure and delight that it is the purpose of yorur Majesty to eicirify your Royal Bense of the preservation , by Divine Mercy , of your Majesty ' s lite during that most critical of natural events which has given to your loyal subjects a Prince Royal , by extending your Royal clemency to such of the unhappy persons as , having been convicted of crimes , have

      the said prisoners from punishment ; that the said prisoners wore , notwithstanding such objection , so ably sustained and supported , transported for life ; that your memorialists have every reason to believe that the conduct of the said John Frost , Zophaniah Williams , and William Jones , in their unhappy exile , has been proper and exemplary ; and that your memorialists thinking them , therefore , to be fit objects for the exeroise of your royal clemency , do pray that your Majesty will , at this time , grant unto the said John Frost , Zsphaniah Williams , and William Jones , a free pardon , and recal them to their homes .

      And your memorialists , as iu duty bound , will over pray .

Htnx Corn Mabkbt , Tuesday , D £ C . 14 . —The weather still coutinues unfavourable , rain more or less almost every day since our report of last Tuesday . There is an improved tone in the large consuming markets in the West of Yorkshire and Lancashire , which i 3 felt here , and holders of old Wheat are insisting on higher prices , at which

      however bat little business is done . Ail epring Com continues in the same dull state that we have so frequently noted lately , there being little or no demand for it . There is a large arrival of Linseed , which causes a dull sale , but not lower prices . Importers prefer landing rather than submitting to less money . There is very little passing in Rapeseed . We have not heard of any transactions during the week . Both Rape and Linseed Cake dearer , and very little doing in either ; prices , however , without alteration . Bones are more plentiful , and price tho same as last week . To day's market met with a fair

      supply of farmers' Wheat , for all descriptions of which they are asking more money . Tho best dry parcels are taken at an advance of fully Is perqr , but no advance can be noted in the secondary qualities and those wanting condition , of which the great bulk offering consists . More demand for old foreign , and on the sales of Is per qr more has been paid ; all the best parcels are held at further advanced rates . There is more doing in Oats , but without any alteration in prices . The best samples of Barley for malting command last week ' s rates ; inferior quali « tics almost unsaleable . Baans and Peas are dull sale , at a decline of Is per qr for both articles . .

      Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday / , Dfc . ll . — We had a moderate supply of Wheat at market tbia morning , which met a good demand at Is . per qr . over the rates of this day se ' nnight . A fair extent of business was done in foreign at last week ' s rates , but no advance could be established . Rye is a dull sale . The arrivals of Barley this week are again , large , and the inferior qualities have again suffered * further decline of Is . per quarter , while the best qualities are held for the same money , but the sale is dull . Beans and Peas are offered on lower terms , without inducing purchasers . Malt is a very dull sale , and again Is . to 2 s . per quarter lower . We had a large supply of Oats from the neighbourhood to-day , and the demand being good , last week ' s rates were fully maintained . Flour is a very dull sale .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Dec 13 . — The arrivals of this day week consist chiefly of about 11 , 083 loads of Oatmeal , and about 3 , 834 qTa . of Oats from Ireland and coastwise ; from abroad there have been reported 33500 quarters of Wheat and 2 , 320 quarters of Beans ; of other articles of the trade the supply has been unimportant . At Tuesday's market an advance of 2 d . per bushel was obtained ou the bettor descriptions of foreign free Wheat , and there was an improved demand for secondary qualities , in which Irish new participated . The trade has since been of a steady character , and though the business ia free Wheat and barrel Flour has not been extensive , we have had a fair demand

      at the full rates of Tuesday . Oats and Oatmeal have met only limited sa ' e , but no change can be noted in the previous quotations for either . English Barley is Is . to 2 s . per quarter lower , and difficult to quit . Saveral parcels of Egyptian Bean ' s have changed hands at 31 s . to 32 s . per 4801 bs . Pea 3 are without alteration in value . " Bonded Wheat has attracted some attention ; tbe sales of thela 3 t three days may probably amount to 12 , 000 quarters , consisting chiefly of cargoes to arrive from the Mediterranean ; those of good Odessa and Polish at 443 . to 47 a ' . ; Barletta , 48 s . to 49 s . per imperial quarter , cost free on board , including freight . Two parcels in store here have been disposed of , one of Barletta at 7 s . 4 d ., and another of Egyptian at 5 s . 64 * per 701 ba .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec . 13 th . — The supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was somewhat larger than that of last Monday and there was an increased quantity of Barley from all these counties , and of Beans and Peas from Essex and Kent , with a good arrival of Barley from Norfolk , and of Oats from Lincolnshire , Yorkshire , and Scotland ; but few fresh arrivals are reported from Ireland . The imports of foreign gram have been moderate during the past week . The weatherhas continued to be in as unsettled a state as for sometime past , and rain falls yet to some extent at short intervals . Good English Wheat met a moderate sale at fully as much money , a few dry samples commanding rather over last Monday ' s curienoy , but the greater part of the supply was in poor condition , and such was taken reluctantly , but not lower . Old

      Foreign Wheat was held with more firmness , whioh somewhat checked sales ; the business transacted was only to a moderate extent , and at about the rates of this day se ' nuight . Ship Flout brought the prices of last Monday , the quotations for townmade were nominally unaltered . Prime Malting Barley met a ready sale at quite as much money , but secondary sorts were dull , and the turn lower . Old Malt unchanged in price , but in slow demand , and new offering rather cheaper . Beans , of all sorts , were taken slowly , but must be quoted unchanged in value . Peas met a limited sale , and , all but tho best , Is per qr . cheaper . There was a moderate business transacted in Oats , good heavy corn realising last week ' s currency , whilst the light and sott Irish were dull , although offering rather lowe again . Linseed was much the game as last week .

      London Smithfield Market , Monbay , Dec . 13 . —This having been the day appointed for holding -the great Christmas market , the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were brought in at an early hour , and we have to notice that they exceeded those received at the corresponding market last year by upwards of 600 . Notwithstanding the immense collection of stook , so perfect were the arrangements effected by the market committee'for its reception , that the confusion usually ensuing on these occasions was in a great measure avoided ; in fact , the only drawback upon tho whole proceedings was the uupropitious and unfavourable state of the weather . The main strength of the supply of beasts was derived from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire ,

      Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk , Suffolk , and Essex . With respect to the general quality of the beasts , it must be admitted that it was seldom , if ever , equalled , and , when the late rains and the continued epidemic are considered , it must be allowed that this circumstance reflected the greatest credit upon the graziers . There was , as usual , a strong competition between the Herefords and Devona , and it was a . matter of some difficulty to say . which carried off the palm this year . As to the shorthorns , runts , Sussex beasts , Scots both horned and polled , and JJurhams , they came fully up to our anticipations ; indeed , a more " even" supply was scarcely ever befere kuown . In noticing the best stock in the market , we must not fail to state that the fifteen short-horns , the property of Sir Charles Knightley , were extraordinarily fine creatures , and every point bore the strictest scrutiny . We much and

      regret , so must every member of the club , that they were not shown in Baker-street . Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country buyers , but more particularly that of the former , was numerous , the beef trade , comparatively speaking ( from , we should inter , the unfavourable state ot the weather for slaughtering , there being yet two markets intervening between this and Christmas , and the advanced rates demanded by the salesmen ) , was dull , yet there was a slight improvement , say of 2 d per 81 b , upon the currencies noted on Monday last , and a clearance was not effected without difficulty . There was a fair average number of sheep on the market . Primo old Downs sold at last week ' s currencies , but in other kinds next to nothing was passing . Calves were in short supply , and sluggish inquiry at late rates . It should be borne in mind that our general figures for beef do not refer to tho prize stock , which , of course , sold at higher rates .
