      WEST BKOMWICH . GRB iT MEETING OF THE COLLIERS . The colliers of Stafford and Worcestershire feeld a most numerous meeting , in a large field at -West- . Bromwich , at eleven o'clock on Monday last , for the purpose of agreeing on the amount of wages which they should demand . The country for miles round , was in a .. state of eicitement and alarm as to the result of puch an immense body assembling together , and every precaution was taken by the authorities to preserve the peace . Large placards were numerously posted , threatening all who attended the meeting with transportation . The yeomanry cavalry were called out , shoals of special constables were Bworn in , and Lord Dartmouth , and several other magistrates were early in their attendance at tie Dartmouth Arms , West Bromwich , where they were busily engaged swearinin secial constab '

      g p . es . *> . A number of the Birmingham Chartists wifijpiad arranged to proceed to the meeting , were proceeding up Bull-Ptreet , when they were overtaken by a troop of Cavalry from tho barracks , dashing off with their shining brass caps to the scene of action . The colliers of Walsall and neighbourhood / came in large numbers , preceded by Mr . Griffiths and other active members of the Chartist body . The Bilston , Wolrerhampton , and other colliers in that part were led on by Messrs . Linney , Wilcox , and others ; whilst Messrs . Cook , Pearson , and other active Chartists accompanied the men from Dudley , and that quarter . ^ As the time of meeting drew nigh , crowds of colliers , with their flannel jackets , were to be seen moving in all directions , to the place of meeting .

      A consultation was hold between the parties intending to address the meeting . Resolutions , &c . were agreed to ; after which they moved towards thehu 3 tings , and were received with loud cheers by the immense assemblage , on making their appearance on the hustings , Mr . Geobge Hemmings , a collier , from Staffordshire Potteries , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst loud cheers . He said , that as a Collier , he felt himself deeply interested in that meeting , and he hoped they would conduct themselves in a peaceable and orderly manner It was by acting in this manner that they had accomplished their object-in the Potteries ; for althongh tho lying Whig and Tory newspapers had represented them as .. being riotous , he couid assure them that no disturbance

      was created by the colliers in the Potteries ; and he hoped they would act similarly . He understood that a number of soldiers were in attendance ; but he advised them to stand firm , aud offer no opposition to them ; and if they camo on the ground they should open a passage for them , and allow them to pass . He had nothing furrier to add except to request them to give every speaker a fair hearing . Mr . Joseph Linney , of Bilston , said he had been appointed by the colliers of Bilston to bring before that meeting the resolutions they had come to ; and he would first ask them whether they would stand firm , after they had gained what they were seeking , until the Bilston men also got theirs?—( Yes , yes ) He understood that on a former occasion they went to their work when their claims wore acceded to , and left the Bilston men to shift for themselves .

      They were now assembled together to enter into an agreement to stand by each other to get thnir rights , as far as their wages were concerned . The'Bilston colliers had unanimously resolved to stand out until their demands were complied with , and ; lib . -hoped they would afterwards assist their " . fellow-countrymen to get the People's Charter—( Loud cheers and " Wo will , lad . ") As there were other persons , from various colliery districts , to address them , he then retired amidst loud cheers . Mr . Griffiths , of Walsall , was warmly applauded , and said that he was instructed by the collitrs of Walsall district , to state that they would abide by the resolutions agreed to at the meeting then assembled . He thought ho need say no more at present as others had to deliver their reports .

      Mr . FAiJiBUfi . v , of Wednesbury , was then introduced , and said that the men of Wednesbury were resolved to act with the others , and would stand firmly by the resolutions passed that day . He advised them to be orderly and peaceable , and not give their enemies an opportunity of taking advantage of of them . Ho retired amidst loud cheers . Mr . Arthur O'Neil addressed the meeting at some length on the justice of their claims , and said he was authorised by the colliers and foundry men of Oldbury to represent them on the present occasion . He then read a string of resolutions setting forth the grievances of the collieTS , and the remedy they desired .

      The following is the substance of the colliers' demands : — That tight hours' labour shall ho the extent for one day . That four shillings be paid in money for such eis ; ht hours'labour , and two quarts of drink . That half-days and quarter-days bo abolished , except at the timo when a fair or wake was being held . That the " Truck System " should be abolished , as well as a practice termed " BUlduFcs , " wbich caused the colli < n s to work in the pits for a few hours , their only remuneration for which was a pint of beer ; and finally that no man should go down a pit for less than a full day ' s employ , unless at a fair or wake time . Mr . O'Neil dwelt at great length on the necessity of the colliers adopting those resolutions , and was loudly cheered .

      The Chairman then explained the regulations existing amongst- colliers in the Potteries , and read a letter from the colliers of Darlaston detailing their grievances . . Mr . 0 Kiel then delivered an eloquent address , iu which he showed the power of the working classes to establi-h their just claims , and concluded by moving the resolutions above-named , for the adoption of the meeting . Mr . Joseph Liunet seconded the resolutions , and described the state of slavery to which the working men had been reduced , and trusted they would not stop short of gaining what they they then claimed , but asssist their fellow countrymen in establishing the People's Charter —( loud cheers . )

      Mr . Geohge White , of Birmingham , supported the resolution , and waa warmly applauded . He said he felt great pleasure in seeing tho working men unning for the purpose of protecting themselves from the robbery and injustice perpetrated on them , and proceeded at some length to explain the cause of the working men ' s degradation , and the mode by which they were kept in ignoracebf their rights , that the ruling power might the mere effectually plunder them ; even the clergy who pretended to save their souls , assisted their masters in starving their bodies and chuckling at the idea of the easy mode by which they had duped them ; when they returned to their splendid parlours they might justly repeat the following lines"If humbugged thus the rabble choose to be , Why let 'em , since it brings the chink to me ; Tnere ' a none se blind as those who will not see .

      But the working men were now at length beginning to find out that their only hope of justice d ? peudeu on their own exertions . He showed them how gentlewtn were manufactured out of their labour , whilst their children -were obliged to go shoeless ; and after adrertiu ^ to the value of their labour , if protected by an honest Government chosen by themselves , he cailed on all who were favourable to the People ' s Charter tohold up their bauds . Every hand ia the immense assemblage , which at this time amounted to twenty thousand , was then uplifted ; and Mr . White concluded bv giving notice that he : would remain after the meeting was concluded to enrol the men of West Bromwich in the National Charter Association . Mr . Fraser Peahson , Chartist lecturer , then delivered an excellent address in support of the resolutiems .

      Mr . Macintosh , Socialist lecturer , from Birmingham , maco a clever speech on the occasion , after which the resolution * were put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously , amidst loud cheers and clapping of hands . Mr . Powell , a shoemaker of West Bromwich , and member tor Birmingham to the first Convention , and several others , addressed the meeting . A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman , after which the vast multitude peacefully separated . Mr . White then proceeded to Swan village , and enrolled a number of members in tho National Charter Association , and Mr . Walter Sainsbury , shoemaker , was appointed sub-Secretary .

      The worthy Chairman of the meeting afterwards accompanied Mr . White and a large number of the Birmingham Chartists , on their way to Birmingham , leaving Lord Dartmouth and bis satellites enjoying a sumptuous feast at the Dartmouth Arms . This meeting has shewn the peopJe in our quarter that although the colliers ate a brave body of men , they are also well conducted , and has done immense benefit to the Chartibt cause .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Broth eb . < 2 hab . xistb , —In my last I pointed out brlfefly the condition of the Chartiat movement in Scotland j showed that too much dependence had been placed upon extraneous excitement aa the best means of extending and confirming a kuowledgB et political equality , and the democratic principVea of Oovemment ; admitting that nneh good had resulted , yet it bad been attended with thia eeralt aas drawkaok , that i&e body pelitic , like the bodj physical , when fed nponBtdmnlanta i « snbj © ct to despondaooy , and in tie ioeg-roa lt « faows signs of bad healtb . The highly-gifted men whose attendance ii requlate at these demonstrations , impcess the people vith the notion that men less gifted , orators less eloquent are not entitled to their attention nor attendance . It need not be inferred from thU Tiew of the put that tke Chartists in Scotland are inattentive to , or even negligent in their attendance on the inBtractions of those Talaable men -who have arisen frtm their own ranks to explain the principles of the Charter . The evil intimated here is to be found neither ia the

      unfavourable comparison . which- many institute between the effects of these damonstrationB ; nor the ordinary instructions upon political subjects . This unfavourable impression of dependence will hot be removed until the Chartists in Scotland have something to look to for direction ; and guidance in their , movement , ' something which they can create thenigelvea , and in which they can place their full confidence . ¦ ; The Convention of Scotch . .. ' . delegateB ^ . ' who met in Glasgow on the 3 rd of January , 1842 , among other valuable measures which they suggested for the extension of political knowledge thrcugb the coantry , they arranged that Scotland should be divided into six centres , each district to manage its own agitation ; this so far aB a more airangemeht to eifect a desirable end was

      excellent ; but to make it effective for the ; end pro , posed , it requires something to make it work—ifc requires a directing influence , and an ir fluence in which they can nave a perfect oonfidence . It iB then a question of some importnnce . Can they create such a directory to be useful , without any risk of it beoomirig a tyranny over the Chartist movement ? It will be readiiy admitted by every candid and honest Chartist , that such a council is nectssary for the safe conducting of the Chartist cause at the present tima in Scotland . Nay , that the want of such a body is ; more or leBB felt all over the country , there are avils springing up in the Chartist organisation which such a directory could prevent or remove before it became dangerous to its integrity . -v - .. : - ¦ ¦; " ¦ .. . ¦ ' : ¦¦ . ¦ . '¦ .. -.- :... ¦ ¦ ' . ¦¦ ' . . . v

      If the safety and the integrity of the cause is in danger , this is not the time for Scotchmen to sit still or hang back . They do not hesitate in such circumstances in ordinary cases . It is a cause in whicti tbeir gipry or their shdrae , as a nation , will spring from tbeir success or defeat ; upon it they have cast tlio die of their deliveranee from civil bondage ; their character for free men or slaves will be judged accordingly ; their often repeated pledge to stand by their own organisation , requires them to watch its weak points , and give it a stiong towtr of defence . Those who have long looked upon our movement with an evil eye of jfialousy , grieved at the loss of power ¦ which its success proves , are now seeking to turn it into a new channel to niouli

      it to their own purpose . This dishonest eelfishness exphina allthe uew ruoves which have taken place over the country , and their anxiety to bring their money influence to tempt cur adyocates , shows the base [ principles which regulate their procedure ; some of whom the people once honoured with thoir confidence , have taken the . bait ,, but the . people have cast : thouv from them , and withdrawn their confidence from them . There are another class who would v > ish , nay , they are anxious to drive the people into a false position , that the , movement , may be damaged in its-.. character . ' Both parties have tbeir agents at work at . the present time , among the people ; and ; the character they assume to deceive and betray the people is political lecturers . . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ : ' ¦ .... ¦ . ¦ •' ¦ ¦ V ' ¦¦ /¦ .: ¦ ¦ '•'¦

      Looking at these circumstances , it cannot bo too earnestly pressed upon tne six centres in Scotland to bestir theruselves in perfecting their organization to prevent the -Bclfish . :. through their subtile agency from again leading the people into their coils , or the equally bad , who will never rest attempting to betray tho people into the hands of a bad Government . 'Let those districts who have so far completed these organizitibns that they can hold a delegato meeting , and have a Secretary for tho Centre , appciint one representative who will form one of tht » Council . T . ' iis will constitute tho Scottish Executive , and its use to the cause of Chartism will be found to be of an important nature . I will give the present state « f each dutrict , and the duties of the Executive , in my next address . David Thompson , Secretary to the Ailoa Association . Alloa , July 18 th , 1842 .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Aug . 2 . Sir John Easthope , who , on a former occasion , had withdrawn a motion for Church-rate returns , at the request of Sir Robert Peel , now re-produced his motion , having modified it , so as to meet the objections of Sir James Graham . In now jnoTing for these modified returns , he accompanied his inotion with d question , addressed to Sir Hobert Pcelr—Whether the Premier was intending to take the subject Of Church-rates into -his- 'consideration , with a view to the legislative settlement of the question during the next . session , or , if otherwise , he were satisfied with the state of the law relatinfir to it ?

      Sir Robert Peel could give no assurance that he would bring in a bill to settle th 6 question , nor would he say tbathe was satisfied vfitk the present stute of the law relating to Church Rates . After a short conversation , during which hesitating objections weve raised by Sir K ,. H . Inglis and Mr . Hardy , the returns were ordered , , In reply to a question asked by Mr . Cobden on the previous evening , relating to two steam vessels fitting out at BlacfcwaU for the eervice of Mexico , to be employed against Texas . Sir Robert Peel said , that these vessels were net to beat tne disposal of the Mexican Government , until they arrived out , and . that strict orders were issued by the Government that all means should betake ; by this country to preserve a strict neutrality . Some conversation followed on the subject of the uni happy relations between ; . Mexico and Texas . 1

The Governmerit , in the person of Mr .

The place allotted to Mr . Waller and his backerti , ' was but thinly occupied , anf thegreat portion was at the disposal of the friends of Mr . Sturgc , but was nevertheless found inariou . uat . 0 for their accommodation .

      At ten o ' clock the spacious hall was opened , when a tremendous rush was made , and the whole speedily filled with the spna of labour . After the preliminaries were ^ gone through , Mr . Hardwicke rose to propose Mr . Walter , and Was received wit _ h ' -a volley of groaus . Ho did his work briefly , hiving a poor subject to dilate upon . Mr .

When hia opponent— - Mr . Sturge— prfisented himfielf to the people , the scene wia diff * renti Never wa $ there heard a more unanimous burst of enthusiastic applause . The Honourable

      Member ( for he is now M . P . for Nottingham , ) spoke at considerable length , and with great force and effect . He analysed every point of the Charter , point by point , nobly standing up for One and all ; and when he camo to the que&tion of Annual Parliamente , he said ,. " I am filled with astonishoient at the weakness of tho middling clasjes , who would make a question of a , few months a bone of con- ' tention between them and the people , for all admit the necessity of change ; he declared himself for > a separation of Church arid State , for the disbanding of army and navy , for the proper application of the funded property , and for the whole Charter . He cut slyly , but deeply , into the policy of Walter , and the misrepresentations of the Times , and concluded an admirable address amid thunders of

      applause . Mr . O'Connor next presented himself , and was hailed with cheering and waving of hats , that made the building' ring at'ain . He spoke at considerable length , but as to disjoint his splendid address would be to destroy it , and as it is late in the week ^ I reserve a verbatim report for your next week ' s number ; suffico it to say , that it was admitted by all patties , Whig , Tory , and Char list , to be the most effective and powerful appeal ever made upon any similar occasion ; the cheering , laughing , and applause was ins ^ ssant , and the hall trembled again , when in contrasting his position with that of Mr . Walter , he said , What do I contend for ? . equal rights . What do you live upon ? the advertisements

( Immodiate laughter followed this , but the most thrilling effect waa produced by Mr , O'Connor ' s retort upon the charge of physical force . ) What , said he , pointing his finger where it was said Mr . Stephens was cooped among the Tory crevyi you talk of physicail force , j « u who have been obliged to im port the advocate of six inches of cold steel and six ounces of cold lead ! There ' s a .

About thirty varied coloured gloves were held up for Walter , and about four thousand teach having held up both ) were raised for Sturge , which was followed by deafening and long-continued cheering .

The facts sworn to by the veracious Tories are comprised in a nutrshell , and are to the effect that Joseph Frearsbn and Feargus O'Ck » nnor had committed a riot and affray in the Market place , on which warrants were applied for to apprehend them ; that Frearson , in order to encourage said riot and affray , shouted Why do you not go to worfrj my lads , and -take the waggon from themV * that O'Gonpor , on said shout , jumped from the waggon , on whioh he had been standing , amongst the mob , knocked several people down , and kicked theia

      in » most violent manner while they were down ; and that , after all this he ( O'Connor ) took possession of the Tory waggon . The witnesses ; all deqlarel that they did nothing at all to cause any riot or affray , and laid all the blame on the Chartists . One man , a Mr Hannay ; swore that O'Connor had torn his coat off his back , Whilst he was standing as a mere spectator . The crowning complaint , however , was made by a Joseph Poole , who declared that O'Connor not only knocked him down for nothing , but stole his cap into the bargain , which he ( O ?

His subject Was " an explanation of the prmciples of : the People ' s Charter . " It was attended by many of the

      Holmfirth Whigs , and among the rest by one named Nat , Littlnwood . Nat . is a very solemn , serious , and good-tempered personage , and is noted' for having always paid twenty shillings in the pouu < i . He has been in several " lines of business ; " and always "succeeded" to the entire satisfaction of all he traded with ; particularly his creditors ! Well , Nat ., was there , at the lecture . Daring its delivery ho . Suffered his Whi # isrh to get the better of his good equable tamper ; and he frequently interrupted the lecturer with several exclamations of "liar , " " damned blaokguard , " and others equally eltgant . When the lecture was over , Bradley approached foaming Nat ., and , familiarly accosting him , laid his hand upon his shoulder . Nat . immediately hit Bradley a slap-in the face . Bradlev instantly returned the

      compliment , and thwacked Nat . ' s hide to his heart's content . Nat , having received the worst in the fight , thought to have hi * revenge by mean 3 of the law . He applied lor , and obtained , a warrant against Bradley . The case was heard before the magistrates at HoJmfirth , on Saturday last : Nat . ap |> eared Jji person , aided by " a limb of the law" in the ehape of an attorney , and produced five witnesses to depose to the " assault ' Said to have been committed by ^ Bradley on Nat . Bradley conducted his own de ^ enco , and so completely smashed tho evidence , " that the magistrates , ( notwiihstanding the ; many attempts on the part of Nat . and his "legal frienxl " to poison their mjnd ^ againstBradlcy , for thathevvas a Chartist , ) dismissed the complaint with cods . Nat . therefore , had to put up with ais good beating , and pay £ 2 and more for it , into the bariiain .
