      ^ PDRESS - IHE HUNT'S M ONTJilEK T Co / iIITTEB TO THB WORKING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN ; BUI MORE PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . yELLO ^ Wobkix * Hex , —We , ttie members of * h 9 monument committee , having had our attention fcswn to a letter which appeared in the British vaiesman , on Saturday list , August 27 th , 'which conjyju an attack on the character of Feargus O'Connor , ^ cq ., -which , If trne , would be calculated to i : jure him in the estimation of the working classe * generally ; and ts sach attack refers to the conduct of that ? entiemu 2 , » hilrt he vaa at Manchester , during ¦ which tune he eoaridertrd himsslf to hare come at the express wish

      jiid invitation of the committee to perform a public , 5 niy : _ d *« "e having had favourable opportunity of TTStcbing his conduct Tery closely , ¦ whilst he remained & Manchester ; as men who respect oar own characters , ¦ we feel bcund , in justice to Mr . O'Connor , to put you in possession of what we ourselves saw ; and in somovhat to answer , or rather to reply to , the very serious ^ barges of a person who , for reasons best known to himself , has signed in ths ambiguous terms of "An Old Charfct" We shall also have a remark or two to Hake in reference to the comment ef the Editor of the Stoics-man on that letter , calculated as it ia to incre& 36 Use injury , by calling public notics to i ; in a " Leader , " irluch is always considered by journalists toiive greater weight , publicity , influence , ard importance , -whttliei tiding for good or eTil .

      We assert ihz % the character of a private man ia th < 3 Bjo » t momentous attlele that be possesses on earth ; that it is a pearl of great price , and tbst there is nothing that be should endeavour so much to preserve and protect from injury . How much more then ought a pubUc jtan ' s eharacfta to be defended and preserved—especially his who has been , and b now , looked up to as a faithful , disinterested , and honest Ieadtr and adviser of the people ! How superlatively necessary it is to witch and defend ft man so useful , so persevering an-. so very indefatigable , as O'Connor h&s betn to the CEUse of democrat- } ' by bia talents , with tongue and pen , _ d ~ by his property !

      He has great irfluence amongst the wcrkinc classes , and possesses more of their confidence thin any other public man , and therefore can do either a treat amount cf gcod or evil Hence the transcendent importance of osr , at this time , making you , our brother Chartists , acquainted * 'with our opinions respecting his conduct during hiB late visit to , and stay at , Manchester . We bave no other object to serve but that of truth and justice , and the good of the people's exuse , holding ourselves free to giro honour to "whom it is due , and oe the other hand to censure where it may be

      justifiable-We 'wish , not to injure tba feelings of any man , 01 body cf men , excepting a proper discharge of our duty does so , and whatever might be the consequence we stall net flinch from do : ng that . We would not hsve deserved the osme of men , much less democrats , hsd we allowed such charges to go unnoticed , because we knew they were unfoanded and uncalled t » i , and because "we were the means of bringing Mr . O'Connor to Umeheeter , ( but , bye-the-by , at bis own expense , ) to gratify our desires and perform a public duty . * We are aware also ¦ what an unpleasant sad disadvantageous position the man ia placed in "who has no one to defend him , but bimaelf , in comparison ¦ with that of a nun defended by others who were eye-witnesses to all his proceedings .

      We think wa need not say more in defence of our iokizg up this important subject , and we promise all to whom this appeal ia made , that if O'Csnnor can be proved either a coward or traitor -we will be the first to expose him . But we demand , and must have better evidence , than thatof "An Old Chartist , " which proparly gpesHsg is no evidence at all , or any other man 1 * 110 is too great a coward to sign his name to the evidence he idduces . Such evidence aehe has produced so fir would net stand good in any court cf justice in the kingdom , had as the zdminifc ^ ration of justice is . How then can i : for a moment be expected that we can discard one of the most UDcoEqneraWe chsmpions of cur cause , as fcitherto considered upon such loose , p ? ltry , and unsatisfactory evidence as that of "An Oid Chartist "

      Our ungenerous brother Chartist saya , " We were tcld thit Fcargus O'Connor instead of being at the tea party at the Carpenter ' s Hall was enesgsd with tha Executive on business . * ' Who are " we" ? what " we " cms ha mean ? We hope he irill explain what body of men tbis " we " ia . the next time he writes to the public Because tb « Manchester Chartists were aware cf the reason that O'Connor was not at the Carpenter ' s Hall , £ Bd we asture our distant friends , pledging our hsnour on its veracity , tiat the committee beggtd , and iis host , tfee Ber . James ScboiefieJd , insisted that O'Canror would not go to the Hall ander the circinrii _ ks ; aa 3 also , Usat if we had not hsve done so he cost assuredly would have been there . And as it rennets his being with the Executive , there was a good

      reason for tbat . He ~» there to advise , but not te dictate , nor yet to hold himself responsible for asy act cf tee Executive , providing rocfa act was contrary to , * rd in direct opposition to Mb advice and wishes . The Executive are men of principle , of spirit and integrity , mi need not a defe 2 ce so paltry and weak as tkat of " An Old Ch&rUst" There is another important reason why he was not at the tea party . Many of the delegates were tbtre at the commencement , end would biva remained there , had not information been bought to the Hall thst tbe authorities had dispersed a legally convened meeting of the Tra 3 es " Delegates at the point of the bayonet . The Delegates

      fcr the National Conference , on hearing this , came at owe to the very just conclusion that there was no guarantee , that if they Eat long in Manchester , they would not meet wish the same treatment Hence it was that they on that evening , ( very wisely , tea , we fcink , ) assembled to get through part of their business , * 3 _ t they conia -complete in good time on the next toy , without being interfered with by the authorities » ad ths military ; and to give them every one an opportunity of getting beck to his constituents as early M possible . Our brother Ctartirta will see , from the ifrave facts , that the charge against O'Connor for not being at the tea party is entirely kicked out of court .

      " An Old Chartist" labours , or rather appears to do , tnderan error respecting the Executive and the Conference . He endeavours to make It appear that they were all one body . Whereas they were two separate bodies , and each accountable to tlie people for their lep&rate aciiona . But the Conference were not bound to the Executive for that which they might think proper to do of their owa accord . " That the Executive put out an address , and makes a very uncharitable R _ rk about it . That part , however , we wiii leare to lie ExtcatiTS themselves , who are well q _ li £ ed to answer him UDon ti * t sur-ject .

      Te' ; we cannot omit saying that , m our opinion , he confounds ti rcself , and that he wrote more for tb ; 1 psrpcse cf spleen , and sowing the seeds &f diacorc , tLan that of strring any gosd end . His vrurds are" I — s told "—what " I , "—it was " tee ' before , but now it is " I , "— " on all sides , Fearzus O'Connor had nm awsy to London "—who told him ?— " for fear of tklrg arrested , leaving Leach to So the dangerous part cf pnMJEhing these placards , " —who told him that I « eh had anything to do with the publishing of the placards ?— which in my opinion , " continues he , u s , wanton Bacriice of Leach by O'Connor . " Now * e are told by " An Old Chartist , " in oiie sentence ,

      that the address was already published , and he gives , ia arSrinaiion cf the same , a portion of what the * idress contains , and in tfce next sentence , forsooth , that O'Connor left Lesch " to do the dangerous part cf publishing the address . " Surely either the one or tke other is wrong ; two oppssites cannot be allowed to tcnSim the same casa . The fact woa , that the address * a published , by somebody , before the conference « Kmfeled , which was on the Wednesday , and dissdred on tbat evening ; and in 3 bout two or three bcurs after Leach was arrested , and O'Connor was in Ha £ ches' « er on the Thursday ; bo that the charge cf running away is not sustained , and therefore LJd 3 to the ground .

      He further says , " that all the leaders ran away and kf : the complete machinery aid arrangements like a Kif-aetor to do the work" What nonsense , if he hid read the resolution passed at the conference . ' Bnt * e btlieve he both read and knew what it contained . However the resolution passed at the conference pledged every delegate to go forthwith , and lay the fcsult of their deliberations before bis constituents . And for doing which tfeey are charged with being cowards ! "The peoplej" acys he , " are thoroughly disgusted " wish the conduci ef O'Connor . " What people ?

      Where ? and what cordnct ? Lei bun tell you , fellowwoiking men , who he mean * by the people , as " *«» who are amongst the Chartists of Manchester regularly have seen no such asserted disgust manifested . Let him answer to ths Executive who it waathfct were disgusted with them . He aLso finds great fault with the editor of the Korihern Star for not ias = rtiag the address . The editor knew that one printer hod been arrested and bit press tsken for printing the » QQrfc 8 a . What right bad the editor of the Star to totject the property of Mr Hobson to the same treatsent ? ^

      Suppose the pan of either the Star at the Statesman tad been seized , would that have done the cause any l *« 4 t And if other papers could be allowed te insert tJfc -addreaB ¦ without being prosecuted , that was ne **¦» why the proprietor of the Star would not have ^* prosecuted . The nos-buertion , of tlis address , in "'^ sioo , was quite right on the part of the editor . " *• better for the readers cf the Stor- ^ Jbe withsut " • fidress than witiua * the Star altogether- That c ~ 2 ge , like the preceding one * , is not supported . The **** woold have been » ad to have inserted it , knowrf > *¦ he did , ^ fr « j the Government would sooner ^ txaj the SUtr than any other paper . Just for a mo "fat consider the circulation of tbe Star in comparison J * &at of the Statesman , and with every probability « at the latter wm shortly go out , snd then ask your-* "e » which of the two tbe Government would not ¦^ aer pounce upon if it had the chance .

      -J * t as here ask " An Old Chartist" why he did not rfjkalt with the editor of the Statesman for not in-~*» g the eonferece resolution and address , tbe same " «« tditor of the Star did ? If it wa » wrong on the * ¦? , <* one not to insert an address , why should w * iea go free of blame ?

      The next assertion which comes under our notice in the letter of " An Old Chartist" is , that "I have just been told that the Northern Star was kicked about the Chartist room in Manchester . " What Chartist room ? Who kicked it about ? Wneu was it kicked about ? and who are the parties that told him that such &n event did take place ? Perhaps he wrote as he could wish . But still we are sorry that any man , who calls himself a Chartist , should make such barefaced false assertions in the teeth or the Manchester Chartist * . Not a very good compliment to the men of Manchester . That , like his other statements , will only live for a few days and afterwards 8 ink into oblivion , as it justly deserves ; and the odium will fall upon the head , as it ought to do , of the wicked fabricator . We have made ail due enquiry about this " kicking , " at all the rooms , but echo alone gives the reply .

      We are borne out , too , in our declaration of its falsehood , by the passing of the following resolution , unanimously , at the Carpenters' Hall , last Sunday evening , by at least . 2 , 500 of the working peopie of Manchester : — " That it is t&e opinion of this meeting , that the letter which appears in the Statesman newspaper of yesterdsy , Saturday , August 27 in , and signed by 'A :: Old Chartist , ' is a gross libel en the charactnr of F . 0 Connor and the Chartists of Manchester , and , indeed , of the whole Chartist cauje . And , farther , tfiat this meeting empower Mr . D . Rosa to write to the editor , to request him to give up the name of the author , and to publish ii ia the next week ' s Statesman likewise an explanation from the editor , in reference to his language respecting O'Connor being a coward and traitor . "

      Before leaving " An Old Chartist , " we could like to ask him whtn H Duuall , Campbell , and O Connor deserted the cause , as he himself oniy has made such a grave charge . According to the Statesman and the Star of last week , both M'Dmall and Campbell are at their pest yet ; and the Northern Star , the Evening Star , the Times . Sun , aad Morning Chronicle , anew that F ^ -anrus O'Connor is at his duty . Tiienfore , this peg , like all the rest , has slip recl from under him . Come Te now to the language of tha editor of the St : ites : / : ati to which we referred at the commencement of cur ad-Jress . And taking it for granted that you are not ail readers of the Statesman , we will give you a little of the choice , sound , and logical reasoning of the " seheolpiaster of the age . " And surely if this is to be taken as a specimen of his transcendent talents , his wit , and profound wisdom and argumentative power * ,

      aL . fliis notions of fair-p . ' ay , some cf the political critics must h ^ va ov . rshot the mark iu their laudations of the superior abilities of the E jitor of the British Stui £ sman , _ Here then you have it all in its beeuiies : — Watts and ail the logicians of the paat and present day will fill into the shades when compared with the bright luminary of the British Statesman . We invite you to rea 4 it and resd it will . Now for it— "We agree with ' An O ' . d Chartist , ' whose letter wo insert , that ike Executive oagbt to have s i gned their names to the addres 3 , if they were tbe authors of it . We agree with him also that 0 Connor has acted a treacherous and cowardly part in this matter , as he always does ia times of danger . But we see no harm in M'Douall , Campbell , or any body else keeping oat of the way of tbe police as long as they can . "

      In onr remarks upon this excellent bit of chop logic , murder lode , or rather no logic at all , we wL > h it to b * distinctly understoid , that we neither wish to injure the E aityr cor the SiaJesm < xn . But in all fairness , as thty : ir& both public property , we claim the right of fiir criticism . There r . re subscribers to the Statesman on the committee , t ? ho have been so ever since O Brien becsme the Editor of it who feel very sorry indeed to sea both the letter and the Editor ' s comment upon is . We , in this case , will leavs the Executive to aniwer for themselves , and as we were the means of keeping O'Connor out of the way , for fear a disturbance migbt be created by our enemies , to afford a pretext for them to arrest him , we feel bound to answer to tbe public lor our conduct .

      Brother Chartists , we were perfectly aware el the plans of our enemies , and of their Inordinate thirst for victims and blood . We wished to avoid a « econd Peterloo , and therefore we concluded , though at great loss to- us , as a Committee , te frustrate their wicked designs by puuingoff the procession ; also the meeting ; and by requesting O'Connor not to go the HalL We likewise thought it beat for him and all the other leaders to get out of the town as quick aa possible . Therefore , if there is any blame to be attributed to such conduct , it ottcht in justice te fall npon us and not on O'Connor . Why ? Because he was willing to attend to all , and it was with very hard pressing that the CommitU-e could persuade him not toga And , to spfak the truth , we believe the tears of Mr . Scholefield ' s three daughu-rs alone

      prevailed npon him cot to go . But stop ! Wu are justified ic the words of our esteemed friend , the Editor of the Staiesinan himself . If it was right , and he says it was , for Campbell and M'Duuall to ketp out out of the way of the police as loug as they could , we should like to know what O'Connor has done that we should net keep him oat of the way as lor . g as we could ? We should inter , if we at all understood the English language , frcm the Editor ' s , remarks , tiut M'Djuall and Campbell must be preserved . But that it did not matter how soon O'Connsr was placed in the tione jug ! What is saace for the goose is sauca for the gander . What was rijht in tbe one case waa right in the other . We contend that MDouall tnd -Campbell were right , and tbat we were right , and that the Eaitcr cf the Statesman was just iaong partial , and unfair . Let us ask i > better

      O'Counor run awny from the Ball of Science at Manchester , when stones , sticks , and pokers were whining past his-ears , and his lifj was in danger , be having no weapons at all ; and whetter he did not stand protecting tEs Chairman till dragged off the rostrum ? The men of "Manchester can best answer that question . D . d he run away from the Bines at Nottingham at the late election ? Ths men of Nottin » haa answered in the ntsuUve . Did he run away from Manchester tbe week before l 3 st ? No . He was tha lasc delegate that left Mauchertsr . We are surprised to fi > d the Editor of tcts Statesman flatly contradicting himself in his own leaders . About three weeks since , in one of bis leaders , referring to the melee at Nottingham , be said , " it will be s *^ n that O'Connor acted a gallant part" But List week tho same writer 827 s , that " he alwaya runs Liwiy in times of danger . " Such contradictory stateruents as the above need no comment

      We have now replied to the whole of the charges , a ^ . d btg to submit them to & higher tribunal , namely , the great body of the vr 01 king classes , and are willing to abide by their decisions . We trust we shall not be charged with feelings of vindictive-ness , or bad language , or malice , or perversion , or over-colouring . We have adhered strictly to the truth . We havtj given facts to which our brother Chartists of Manchester can bf * r testimony . We trust we hare wiped eff the Btain of cowardice and treachery , and we hope that we shall be the means of causing both An " Old Chartist" and the Editor t * hi more cartful and hsve better grounds to work nrva for tte future before they injure a brother ' s vharacter by making such serious charge ? . We hopa that the working men will always htar both sides of the cav ? before they ever prcnoucco their verdict ,

      and on all occasions be on their guard against misreptesentalicnii which only create bad feeling , envy and niaiice , destroys confidence , causes bickerings , jealousy ad contention one against another , -and every way ir-jures tbe cause oE tUe onward march of democracy . Lfat us be united aa one man , s . ct as men ought io do pf cfesEUig to aomire eur principies . Let love and goodwill prevail in our ranks , banish , and for ever , every thing calculated to breed strife or cause division , and all with heart and band , tongue and pen bound together in one common brotherhood , and work together in harmony and good understanding , giving honour to whom it ia due , and admonishing in a spirit of charity whenever we see it necessary , and if we are sober , firm , and united , and persevere rationally and determinedir , no power on earth wiil much longer be able to withheld our claims . The Gtod of nature , of tTuth and cf justice will te with us .

      4 ^~ TRIAL OF BEAN . At the Central Criminal Court on Thursday , John William Bean was tried for a misdemeanour in sss 3 ultiag the Qaeen , with a pistol ; the charge being variously expressed in four different connts . Although seventeen years of age , be was so short and deformed that bis head scarcely reached above the bir . Tbe Counsel for the Crown were , the Attorney-General , the Solicitor-Geaeral , Mr . Adolphus , Mr . Waddington , and Mr . R . Garney ; for the prisoner , Mr . Horry . The attoret-Genebal very briefly sketched the facts of the case , and explained the law , by which any menacing action , within a short distance of the person threatened , constitutes an assault . Witnesses were then called . " As their evidence differed in no important particular from the accounts that were given at the time , a recapitulation of the chief pointa will

      suffice . Mr . Charles Edward Passett deposed how on 8 unday , tbe 3 rd of July , ht saw three Royal carriages going towards the Chapel BoyaL Just as the last carriage passed the watering-house , he saw the prisoner come from the crowd , draw a pistol from his breast , and present it tewards the carriage , at arm ' s length and breast high ; and then he beard tbe sound ef the click of a pistol-hammer npon the pan ; bat there was no explosioa . He seized the prisoner , and , assisted by his brother , took him across the Mail , and ' offered ' him to polices-constable Hearn ; but Hearn Eaid that "it did not amount to a charge . •* Police-constable Flaxman likewise refused to take the prisoner . The prisoner only asked the witness to give him back the pistol . At length the pressure of the crowd was so great , that he was obliged to let Bean

      go ; andafkr ^ ards tbe people said that witness himself bad been shooting at the Queen , and a Policeman took the pistol away from him . Ia bis cross-examination Mr . Dassstt said tbat the Royal carriages were not going very fast Some persons in the crowd laughed , and others called out tbat the pistol was not loaded . Mr . Frederick Augustus Dassett , the younger brother of the previous witness , corroborated bis evidence . The bamnit : r of tbe pistol , be said , had gone down , and tbe pan was in a state as if it had been fired off John James . & builder , the uncle of the two D . ' -ssett 8 , an ** William Jones , a wood-turner , saw Charles Dasaett seiz ? B . 'an . James Torringto : i Purbride , a constable of the A division , said he took tbe pistol from Charles Dissett , and gave it to Inspector Martin . G = o . Martin , Inspector of tha A division , received the pistol from the last witness , and unloaded it The charge was not large : the contents consisted of coarse gunpowder , some

      short pieces of tobacco-pipe , and four small pieces of gravel , rammed down with wadding ; there were a few grains of powder in the pan . William John Byrne , a general salesman , described his selling the pistol to Bean—he thought that it was on the Thursday or Friday before tho 3 d ef July ; and Bean's afterwards coming for a flint to it . The pistol was very old , but capable of being fired if properly loadud . George John Whittnore , who cleaned the pistol for Bean before it had the flint pu- to it , said in bis cross-examination , that he tried tke pistol : tbe lock was not strong enough to fire it . Benjamin James was in attendance witii the third of the R > yal carriages on the 3 d of July ; the Qaeen was in the carriage , with the Prince and a lady . The last witness for the prosecution was Henry Webb , Policeman of the A division , who ayprehended Bean at his father ' s house in Somers Town : he said that he bad be « n on Sunday in Bimsbary Patk , Islington , and the Regent ' s Paik .

      Mr . Houry took some legal objections to the form of the indictment . If the tobacco-pipe in the pistol was capable of injuring the Qaeen , B-ian ought to have been indicted for high treason . On the othor hand , the Qaeen was not aware of the attack , aud could not be alarmed : and therefore the charge ef common assault could not be sustained . Lord Abinger , Mr . Justice Williams , and Mr . Baron Rolfe , successively delivered opinions asainst the objections ; and Mr . Horry proceeded to contend that the evidence did not bear out tha charge tiiat the prisoner contemplated any assault , he being one of the mildest of tbe Quoen ' a subjects . He then called evidence .

      Henry Hawk ^ s said that w . is about six feet from Bean and Dissett when Bean was se ' zid , and he did not set him presr . it a pistol at the Qu- ^ en ; although be tbousht he must have seen it if it had been done . Bean could ea ^ iiy have sot away . After D . iesett seized the piatol , Le was playing with it , trying the lock , aud laujh ' tng . The witness had his back to them ; but be look ; d round very often to gee \ rhat was passing . Tbos . Vo . sport , a psintt-r out of work living at the Running Horses in Brook-street , Grosvenor-square , swore that tho prisoner did not present a pistol at the carriage . Cross-examined by the SoLlClTOR-GENERALand Lord Abingek- be said that he saw the prisoner with tbe pistol in his hand soma time before he was apprehended . It ciii Btrike him as remarkable tbat the boy should have a pistol in his hand on Sunday morning . Lord Abisgeb— " Why then did not you interfere and cive information ?"

      Witness—•• I waited to see the result of it . " No questioning could get any other reason fcom . this witness for his passiveness : when asked rep-atedly what result he expected , he only replied that of course he did not know that an attack was going to be made . Da 7 id Hatton , a nawsvender , and several other witnesses , gave- B ? an a character for mildness ; among them was the prisoner ' s father , who wept bitterly . The Attorvey-General re-explained the law , so as to dissipate the effect of Mr . Hotry ' s obj' -etions and arguments : and then he touched upon the evidence , remarking that Vosport criminated himself ; for if his story were true , he admitted to having been guilty of what amounted to miVprisfon of treason , in seeing a man standing there with a pistol , and wishing " to see tbe result . "

      Lord Abinger havl-. g summed up , the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty upon the second count in tba indictment ; convictiug the prisoner of presenting a pistol loaded with powder and wadding , in contempt cf the Queen , and to the terror of divers liege subjects . In passing sentence , Lord Abinger observed , tbat he wished the law in existence at the time the prisoner committed tbe offence bad authorised an adequate punishment : but if any person should imitate th& pri-Boner ' s example , be would now obtain an infamous notoriety by being whipped at the carVa-taiL Tbe sentenae of the Court was , that he be imprisoned ia tbe Penitentiary fer eighteen calendar months .

      tbe ir , ? ult to their magistrates ; consequently , there wm great difficulty felt to secure a decent display of feeling in favour of the Marquis and his royal and noble guests . It was originally intended that they should enter the town at five o ' clock , but they di ! Dot make their appearance till half-past &i ^ ht o ' clsck . Tbe cause of this extraordinary delay was , it is understood , fears of a very hot reception from tbe peop ; a Tee military and police were all out to guard tbe royal and noble party , and to intimidate the people , but notwitLstandiiig thwe precautions , when they did make their appearance , they were saluted with a tremendous b » dy of groans , and not 3 solitary cheer could be heard . The chagrin of the noble Marquis Londonderry was extreme at tbis outburst of democratic feeling .

      Meeting on the Town Moor—On Wednesday morning a few pla ^ rds were issued , calling a pnblic mtetiiig for tbr <> e o ' clock in the atiernonn , on the Town Moor , and at eight in tbe evening , in the Arcade Room The meeting on the Moor , though called on short notice , was excellent . Mr . Williams was the only speaker . He addressed the people at considerable length , sketching the characters and claims of the noble and Royal visitant , who intended honouring the town by their presence . He then called npon the people to jofn in singing the following song , which was composed for th& occasion : — SVXL-ZRLAXiyS ATCSWER TO DERBY'S CALL . Olii D ? rry wants to bny our votes . With dinners and with wine ; But Tory power is past and gone , Like auki long svne .

      The Lords of Seatam need not come , With Jn : 3 as speech sne fine ; They ' ve robbed us by their tyrant laws , Sin auld lang syne . The Chartist day is drawing near , When liberty shall shine ; And England then shall happy be , Like days 0 ' lang syne . The people sang it right heartily . After this the meeting separated in capital spirits , having received inst : uctions how to act on the entrance of the illustrious party . Arcade Meeting—In the evening there was an overflowing meeting in the Arcane ; Mr . Bruce , grocer , in the chair . Tbe epeeches were of the most enthusiastic and spirited character . Messrs . Williams , Chappie , and" the chairman spoke .

      STOCKTON . —Royalty at a Discount . —( Received for our last , but sliut out by other matter . )~ Monday was to have been a glorious day . Toryism was to have triumphed . It wag fally expected , by the magistracy and corporation , that the working people would have huzz \ t « l—would have ranted , roared , and cheered Royalty as they were wont to £ 0 some ten or fifteen years ago ; but thanks , eternal thanks , to the working people of Stockton ; they fihowf d the body corporate that Royalty has lost its charm— th < = y are not to be galled and deluded now—tbe time for that is pone —gone for ever—they will do honour to whom honour is due—they have come to tho conclusion that it is cutting the thing ratntr too fut to cheer either for the Dalre cf Cambridge , or any other parson , who is

Had it not been for a dealer in coloured matches , who h a * been in the neighbourhood a few An } 3 , the procession { if we may call it a precession ) would have been quite a dead and alive affair—perfectly insipid . The match dealer , no ccut » t , thinking this a good and suitable opportunity to exhibit his wares , headed the apology for aprocsaden with his coloured matches stuck in a very peculiar manner on a pole , to the delight cf the spectators . His Highue 33 , the Duke , asked his mightiness of Londonderry , what it was—what it was intended to represent t Wbat think you , reader ! the descendant of Castlereagh was unable to give an answer . Mr . John Wilkinson , wharfinger , ( who , low be it spoken , the lers said the better ) commanded his porters to be in readiness to drag the lump of Royal mortality into tbe town , to make borees of themselves ; but tbe Duke said he would rather walk ,

      for he remembered that in tbe time of George III ., that illustrious monarch , (?) several accidents happened ia the dragging In to towns , of Royal personages by men . Now , Mr . Editor , had Wilkinson ' s men refused to obey their lord ' s mandate , we ask , would they or would they not have lost their employment ? A platform was erected , which extended from the Town-hall to tho Cross ; it was carpeted , we presume , for fear the Royal Duke should contaminate the pavement . Well , gentle reader , fancy to yourself the Ddke and Corporation aro now on tbe platform , the Mayer reads an address to the Duke and then tries to get np a cheer , but finds it no go . The Dake then pullB a package of papers from the pocket of bis royal coat , and fumbles on ( as silly weak old m 6 n generally do ) for a considerable time ; at last be extracts a paper , which torna out to be hia Royal reply to the address just read by the Mayor , " ready cut and dry , " which he reads ; tben some dozen av so on the phtform try to raise a cheer bat fiod it won't

Another try for a chesr , but it was ineffectual . His Highness was at a loss , for this was more than he expected , however he managed to matter a few very weak and nonsensical words , by way of reply , extemporaneously . Another effort for a cheer , bat it-was destined to meet a worse fate than any of its predecessors ; a sort of bowling was its echo ? While the Dake , the Marquis , lord Seabam , Mr . Farrer , and the Corporatism ate doing the guzzling part of the piecewe will just observe that the Marquis , to make a show ,

      brought bis tenants all ou horseback , with Wood-ied rosettes in their coats , to see the fan . They out a sorry figure . Many of them would have much rathe * been in the harvest field . Now , then , the Duke is off to Wynyard , driven by the Marcbieness , the Marquis , Seaham , and others , following amid the yells , hootlngs , hissings , and execrations of a discerning and enlightened people . The Tories say the reason why there was no cheerfay , was because their arrangements were disarranged . No doubt of it , the people ate progressing fast—are be « coming intellectual beings , so that in fature , all suoh arrangements will be disarranged , and they will be free . —Correspondent .

Crown : tnd Anchor , Elephant and Castle , " when the room was crowded with strsnsjers , ( very few of tli ' e members obtaining : admittance ) , to hear tbe principles of tbe Charter explained , thinking tbat the Charter must be something of truth , or the authorities would not Lave nsed such violent means to suppress the expression of public opinion at Konningtou ; the consequence was , a number were convinced of the truth , and entered aa members .

      Great Britain , than by giving to every man equal rights as set forth in the document called the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Lovfctt seconded the resolution . Several other speakers also addressed the meeting , after which the resolution was earned unanimously . Three cheers were given for the Charter , dec , and the meeting dispersed . Public Meeting . —An open air meeting was held on Monday , at the open space near tbe Pin Factory , Borough Road . It having been ascertained that Sir James G'aham had " kindly condescended" toaiiow out-door meetings , provided they closed previous to six o'clock , a . m . the meeting was called for twelve o ' clock , and shortly after tbat period Mr . Franklin was elected to the chair , and made a few brief remarks o

      the condnot of tbe authorities , in allowing meetings to be held only at that peried of the day when working men could not attend . Mr . Blackmore , in a straightforward address , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting viowa with regret the position taken up by the Government to stop public opinion among the working classes . " Mr . Rogers secouded the resolution , and showed the utter futility of any Government attempting , by physical force , to arrest the onward march of knowledge and intelligence . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr . Parker moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting , notwithstanding tbe attempt of tbo authorities t » crush public opinion , is resolved still te adhera to Its determination of agitating f « r the People's Charter , until it

      becomes the law , believing it to be the oniy means ef securing peace and prosperity to the peopie at lar ^ e " Mr . Parker commented with considerable energy u ;> on the conduct of the Government ia putting a stop to public meetings , and on the manner iu which the police bad carried those orders into execution . Tho only remedy for saob a state of affairs was to obtain possession of political power . If they had thirty good men in the House of Commons , the police would never have dared to have exhibited such furious pranks . Mr . Bof weH , of Bath , seconded the resolution in a very able address . Mr . Brown supported it in a very eloquent address , which occupied upwards of an hour in its delivery ; during which he gave sach a lashing to the numerous spies by which he was surrounded , as must have ma 3 e them feel their degraded position ; the late disturbances in London hod done much for the Charter ; what calm reasoning could not tff-ct bladgeona had

      effected ; if banger in the belly and a policeman's bludgeon upon the skull did not make men think , aye , and aot too , be did not know wbat would . Mr . Brown was loudly cheered throughout the whole of bis aJdress . The resolution waa carried unanimously . Mr . Dowling moved a resolution expressive of thaufea to the proprietor and editor of the Evening Star for Bending reporters to give publicity to tho meetings , and during bis address eulogised the conduct of Feargus O Counor , and trusted that tbe Evening and Northern Stars would long continue to di&sipau > the oiouds of darkness and ignorance . Mr . T . WM , iu a long address , seconded tae reaoluiioa , wiiicli was unanimously carried . Mr . Lucas moved a vele of tbanks to the chairman , and the meeting dispersed . During the course of the proceedings several of tbe police rendered themselves very conspicuous by pretending to taki ) notes of tbe proceedings ,

      A rumour having got abroad tbat the Cbattista intended holding a publio meeting at Sloane-squire , on Thursday evening last , great waa the activity exhibited at Kuightsbridge-barracks , and amongst the various diviBona of thr police force , and not content with tnese warlike preparations , the poor old Chelsea pensioners were drawn out in martial array , and ordered to " shoulder their otutob , and show how fields were won . " Great was the excitement among the ehopkeepera , and all were anxiously waiting the resuifc of these great , preparations . About seven o'clock about 200 boya oasarubled on tbe Gteen , and were looked on with a very jaalous eye by the conservators ct the public peace ; but nothing further

      occurring , the inhabitants began to rcsuae their usual tranquil appearance , and to hint loudly to the police that they uad beun subjected to an unmerciful hoax . Towarrta nine o ' clock many spectators were drawn to the spot , and many were the jokes uttered at the expeiice of the police ; but the crowning one waa tho cramming of a police spy ( of whom many werd in attendance ) with the news tb . 8 t the meeting had been givtmupin the Square , and was being held in Cholsea Fields . Away flius tbe intelligence ; the force speedily deserted the Square ; the Chartista retired to thbir bomes ; and the police , after a vain endeavour to find the meeting , received intelligence that it was adjourned until tbe mor . iing at Lambeth .

      " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . € "** nQntletnen , ^ You will oblige by forwarding , at \ X your earliest convenience , the same quantity of jf A UK'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am . writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flittering intelligence of the groat , good your pills are doing in Leeds ami its iie ghbonrbood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a pa-tent one ; and more especially sinca Us use has . contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , however , predjudico is fast giving way , as it always must whore tho pills are tried . A lew cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

      ** A young female came into the shop to-day for a bos , who stated that they had done her imiaeuse good . S ' . ie had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad thaino one could hear lier speak ; but having taktn a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PiLLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by th _ e way she RDoko . " Very many cases of extraordinary cures have oocurrcu amoug the aged workpeople , both male and female . I 110110 mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and ia a week were re < siort > d and hcrcaMiheaed that they

      could pursue their employment with pleasure and profiv ; bo much m > , tbat from beiug wnablc to vrork at their calling moro than two days ia the week , aud this with # reat physical difficulty and languor , they can now not . only do a . full week ' s work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owmr , are enabled to get as mush employment as they cau do , which has excited the envy of those younger person * who had been employed in their absence ; aad it is a . laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills como in for a share oi their rancour . The old people coutinu" to tuke the pills re ^ uiarly in tinall quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily focd . , ' ¦ ¦ ¦ '

      " Tho next and last oaso which I shall mention at thia time , is one of' a most extraordinary natnre . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his employer , and from Mr . J . Hobson , who hui frequently sees him since his convalesence . The nnu is a working mechanic aad had bpeat about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the IbIo of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted . for a long time of nothing bat rice milk , tho stomach refusing to take anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind

      filled with melaiioholy forebodings for th « future , he returned tt > his fiends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should ho ba restored a iiuie , his disorder would have its periodical return } but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxeat which have completely removed his disease , aad enabled him to return to his work , where he was seen a fow days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eati » g beef-steaks wiih great gusto ; and . 0 whom ho recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction . .

      " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make whafc use of them you thiuk proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , " WILLIAM HICK . "To Messrs . ' . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fiect-street , London . " MIRACULOUS ' CUKE FROM THE C 3 E OF PABE ' S LIFE

      PILLS . Copy of a LettT just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , CobbeU-strcer ,, Shaw ' s Brow , Saiford . ? M To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —1 have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , eife « tcd solely by the persevering use of your Paul ' s Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , which the different medical nun who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydroccle ( or dropsy of tha scrotum ) , and declared there was no other chance of either relief or euro than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus

      driven almost to despair ; aud consulted tne treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , whertin he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain a ;< experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providenci . Fortunately , I-heard of tho great fame of Park ' s Lira . Pills , aud resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for soiae time ¦ without psreeiving any " benefit , but still kept , persevering ; . and I have uow t : keu twelve boxes , and to my groat joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely removed ,

      together with a ecorbuiic affection , v . 'hich f . had been much ' troubled with-frio . ee iny n . fcurn from India in 1827 ; and n ^ w ihere is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in hotter health and spirits than 1 have bean for fourteen yeara . I feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , a 3 I ha . vo done .
