      TO THE CHABTISTS OF THE UxNITU ) KINGDOM . AtUie nraalTPecSly meeting cf the London members cfihe 2 « ational Asoei&tien , the following R -solutions and Remonstrance "were proposed by Messrs . Levitt and Simmonds , and unanimously agreed to , and ordtred to be « = nt to the liberal papers : — " 1 . That at all times the Xepresentatiyes of a free aiid intellectual people , stnfiiouslyseefcing ti promote the public -welfare , are highly entitled and -will ever secure public courtesy and public esteem , and -will only be lowered in ths estimation of eTery rtfl ctiDg mind ¦ when they absurdly demand that the wants aad wishes of the people shall be made known to them in the abject , humble , supplicating terms cf & petition . — -.

      •• That tie Commons' Honse of Parliament , no Treys lepreEenHng the people of those realms , but year after year legislating in open 6 efLinee of their wishes and interest ! has perpetuated this relic of feudal and despotic barVartnn , to the disgust of all mental independence and nrmly feeling ; and -unless this humble ^ supplicating is soon dispensed "with , bids fair to render public applications to the Legislature a bye word and derision . 3 . That we , in coDJanctisn with our fello"w countrymen , hsTOJg complied ¦ with this absurd usage of humbly praying ssd petitioning year after year for a redresa of grievances , and only obtaining for our answer new burthens and additional wrongs , now respectfully sail npr-n tile people of the United Kingdom to adopt and £ i # n with nsthe following , as a SatioxaiBbmohsthakce , to be for yarded to Parliament , preparatsry to the aotion that is to be made nest sessions for the Peopled Charter . "

      TO THB COMMOSS HOTCSE OF PAELIaMEXT IS TH 2 IB COLLECTIVE C-iPACITT ASSEMBLED , The Remonstrance of the undersi gned Jnhabilarits of this Kingdom , Shettexh , —That we have just cause of complaint and remonstrance against yon , who , in the name of the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , profess to represent , wateb over , and legislate for our interests . That as the ancient and constitutional custom of public petitioning **«« . bj your -acts , t * en tendered a- mere mockery , tf © are thus induced to substitute a public remonstrance to you—it being the legitimate means by "which any portion cf the people , - whose political rights h % ve one by one been legislated a-sray by their inlers , i ^ v appeal to the public epinion of their couEtrj—a tribunal by whose ttill reprssaDtati- 'n is alone rendered constitutional , and for "whose benefit alone Government is established . -=

      , "We justly coaiplain of your -utter disregard , and seeming contempt , of the "wants and "wishes of the people , as expressed in the prayers and petitions thty have been humbly addressing to you , for a number of years past . For while they have been complaining of the unequal , unjsst , and cruel laws you have enacted , which in their operation have rednced millions to poverty , and punished them because they were poor , yon have Ifcen eiihtr increasing tha catalogue , or socking them , with expensive and fruitless commiBsions , or telling them that "their poverty was beyond the xeach cf iegislative enactment *

      "Whole they have been complaining that you take from them three-fourths of theii earning , by your complicated system of taxation—and , by your monopolies , force them into -unequal competition with other nations —you have ex '_»; bUed a conitnipt for their complaints inyinr pnfl : gate ai . d lavish expenditure at home and abroad , and by a selfish pertinacity in favour of the monopolies you have created for your own especial interests or those cf your party . While they have been praying that the CivD List may be reduced in proportion to the exice-icies of the

      state : and , at a tame liie She present , when bankruptcy , insoiTener , and national destitution prevail to sn extent unparalleled in history , that her Majesty and her Grasart sbeuld be msde acquainted with the neeeaity for dL-pensinij with tifclesa and extravagant frivolities ; yet you , in ready compliance with the ¦ wishes of the Ministry , have gratifled such extravagance at the expssce of want and wretchedness . If you fead tfcen loyal to your Q ^ ten , or just to your country , you wenld have shown her the necessity for retrenefcmeEt in every department of her- household .

      While tie facmone and considerate portion of the population have been demonstrating to you the evils of ignorance aad source of crime , and have been entreating yaa to apply to the purpo-ea of education and serial improvement tfce « nc-rmonB Brans which you inhumanly employ in punishing the victims of your vicious institutions and eulpsbie neglect , you have gone on recklessly despisiEs the prayers of humanity and justice , augmenting your poli&s , increasing your soldiers , raising prisons , and devising new means of coercion , in a nseieas attempt to prevent crime by severity of punishment—instead of cultivating the minds , improving the hearts , and administering to the physical necessities of the people .

      WiiDe the intelligence and humanity of our countrymen have been loudly expressed Sfaisst sanguinary and cruel wars—barbarous means for brutaUsing the people , and perpstuaiing bull dog courage under the name of glory—y « u , who profess to watch over on ? interests , lave , in order to gratify sristocratirai cupidity , selfishness , aad ambition , been supporting unjust aad uncalled for wxrs , "bj "rtiicb thousands of human beings iave been led en to s ! sn ; hter and to death , and through which cur -enormous debt has been increased , and the sfcrm * of cruelty and injustice brought upon our pttHnT-. B . ! chsraetsr . "While our brethren have been praying for religious freedom , yen have allowed a state church to take from them -upwards Gf nine millions per annum ; independent of tie evils it inflict 3 on them by its troublesome imposts , grasping selfishness , and anti-gospel persecuting spirit .

      T * hDe our kre £ hren have been contending for the free circulation cf thought and opinion , throngh the channel of an "ucahsekle ^ press , as a means by which truth may fee elicited , and our institutions improvedyou hate been imposing the most arbitrary measures to check public op i nion , retard freedom of inquiry , and to prevent Knowledge from being cheaply

      diffused . "While our social evils and anomalies have repeatedly been brought before you , you , whose duVy it was to pro-Tide a remedy , have looked carelessly on , or been intent only on-your inttreEts or your pleasures . . "Your own commissioners have reported to yon , that thousands of infant children are scemsd to slavery and ignorance in our mines and factories , while their wretched parents lire wanting labour and needing bread—that wives and mothers , to procure a miserable subsistence for their families , are compelled to neglect ibeir t&pring and their homes , and all the domestic duties which belong to their Bex ; that thousands of skilful mechanics are Starring -on a few pence , which they obtain for fonrteen hours" daily ioil—that vast numbers , anxious to labour , are left to linger and perish from cold and hunger—that in Ireland alcne two million three hundred thousand

      are in a state of beggary and destitution ; and that misery , wretchedness , and crime are fast spreading their deteriorating iiiflnems , and gradually undermining the fabric ef society . If or is your misgovernment confined * x > this country alone , but its baleful influence is felt in every part cf th 8 world where British authority is known . Throughout our dominions you have permitted xuzhts the most sacred to be invaded in order to prsvide nesting-places for aristocratieal SedglingB .

      It is also proved , by the returns that have Been made , that 39 of you are returned by leas than 300 electors each , 43 by less than 400 , 20 by less tMn 500 , 34 by less than 600 , 34 by lesa than 700 , 20 by less than 800 , 18 Vy leas than 900 , and 23 by lesa than 1 , 000 registered electors . It is moreover notorious that , in the Commons House , which is . Bald to be exclusively the people ' s . ' there are two hundred and fix * persons tcho are immediaidy . or remotely related to the peers of the realm •' That it also contains 3 maiquisses , 9 earlB , 2 S viscounts .

      37 lords , 32 right bonourables , 63 bonourables , 58 baronets , 10 knights , 2 admirals . 8 lord lieutenants , 74 deputy and vice-lieutenaDts , 1 general , 1 lieutenantgeneral , 7 major-generals , 22 colonels , 32 lieutenantcolonels , 7 majors , 67 captains in army and navy , 32 lieutenants 2 cornets , 53 magistrates , 63 placemen , besides 108 patrons of church livings having the patronage of 247 Jjvi ngs between thtm ; and there are little more than 200 out of the 658 members of your house , who have not etbsr titles , office , pi ice , pension , or church patronage .

      These facts afford abundant proofs that you neither represent the Twmber or the interests of the millions , but that the greatest portion of you have interests foreign , or directly opposed , to the true interests of the people of this country . Setting aside your party changes and rival bickerings , important only to those among yon who are in possession of the public purse ; with a knowledge of your past actions and with these notorious facts before us , —as plain-ipeaking men , claiming the freedom of speech as our birthright , we hesitate not to declare , that individually and collectively you have all been tried by the test of public utility , and with f 6 W exception have been fonnd wanting in every requisite for representatives of an intelligent sad industrious population .

      The wide extent of misery whicL your legislation lias occasioned , and the sprtad of information which your decrees could not suppress , have called up enquiring minds in every portion of the empire to investigate your actions , to question your authority , and finally to condemn your unjust and exclusive power . They have demonstrated to their brethren , that the only rational use of the institutions and lawB of society , is to protect , encourage , and support , all that can be made 10 contribute to the happiness of all the people . That as the object to be attained is mutual benefit , 80 ougkt the enactment of laws te be by mutttal constvi . That obedience to the Ljwscan only be justly enforced on the certainty that those who are called on to obey them have had , either personally or by their representatives , a © ower to enact , amend , or repeal them .

      That all who are excluded from this share of political power , are not justly included within the operation of the laws . To them the laws are not only despotic enactments ; and the assembly from whom they emanate can only be considered an unholy interested compact devising plans and schemes for taxing and subjugating the marjy . In consonance with these opinions , they have embodied in a document called "The People ' s Charter , " such just and reasonable principles of representation as , in their opinion , are calculated to secure honest legislation and good government That document proposes to confer the franchise on every citizen of twer . ty-one years of age , who has resided in a district three months , who is of sane mind , and nnconvicted of crime .

      It proposes to divide the United Kingdom into three hundred electoral districts , containing as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants , each district to send one Member to Parliament , and no more . It proposes to take the votes of the electors by ballot , in order to protect them against unjust icflaeBce . Jt proposes that Parliament be chosen annually . It proposes to abolish property qualifications for members of Parliament . It proposes tkat members of Parliament be paid for their services : and moreover contains the details by which all these propositions shall be carried into prsel'ce .

      TLis document , being so jnst in its demands , has already received the sanction of a vast portion of the population , and petitions in its favour have already been laid before you , containing a larger number of signatures than , probably , has ever been obtained in favour of any legislative enactment : and though indiscretion among some of its advocates may have retarded public epinion in its favour , we are confident that the conviction in favour of itsjmtice and political tfflcacy has taken deep root in the mind of the nation , and is making rapid progress among all classes not interested in existing corruptions . That yon may see the wisdom and propriety of timely yielding to such opinion in favour of a better representative Eystem , and that you will speedily declare in favenr of the People s Charteb ; or , by resigning your seats , prepare the way for those who will enact it aa the law of these realms , is the ardent prayeT of the undersigned inhabitants of this kingdom .

      LONDON . —The Metropolitan Delegate Meeting was held on Sunday , Mr . Davoc In the chair ; credentials were received from Messrs . Ma / and Dron , from Lambeth , and from Mr . Sharp , from the patriots , Cierkenwell-green . Tiro shillings and sixpence was received for the delegate meeting from the -Clock Honse ; two shillings and sixpence from Globe-fields ; and two shillings and sixpence from the silk weavers locality . Mr . Rose reported from the Metropolitan "Victim Fund Committee ; Mr . Simpson moved , and Mr . Wheeler seconded , the following resolution : — "That this delegate meeting recemmend to the various localities throughout the metropolis which are not represented on the Metropolitan Victim Defence and Support Fund

      Committee the propriety of immediately sending a delegate to assist in carrying its operations into effect '' Messrs . Humphreys , DroB , Page , Maynard , Rose , and other delegates ably Bnpportbd the motion , which was unanimously carried . Mr . Wheeler reported regarding the funds of the delegate meeting . Mr . Simpson , as metropolitan treasurer of Mason's Defence Fund , reported the amount of money , &c ., which he had remitted- Mr . Humphreys moved , and Mr . Dron seconded , a vote ol thanks to Mr . Simpson for his services as treasurer to the above fund , carried unanimously . Mr . Wheeler moved , and Mr . Rose seconded , the following resolution : — " That this delegate meeting feel highly gratified with the liberal offer of Mr . Cleave in reference to the back numbers of the English Chartist

      Circular , and strongly recommend the metropolitan districts and the country generally to accept of the offer and carry it into immediate operation , it being an easy , and at the same time an efficient mode of realizing funds in aid of those who have been victimize in the Chartist causa " Several delegates having expressed themselves favonrable to the motion , it was unanimously agreed to . The subject of the address of the proprietor « f the Evening Star was spoken to by Messrs . SimpBon and Wheeler . Mr . "Mndge moved , and Mr . Grew seconded , " That we take into consideration Mr . Cooper ' s Plan of Organizition . " Carried . After some little discussion as to the method to be pursued in carrying out the resolution , Mr . Cnffay moved the following resolution : — "That

      it is the opinion of this Delegate Meeting that the new Plan of Organization proposed by Mt . Cooper is by no means equal to the old plan if that is properly acted upon , we therefore respectfully reject it , at the same time we think there is room for amendment in the old plan . " He considered the expense of the new plan would be an insurmountable objection , he was opposed to the presidential sittings , and to the aristocratic manner in which the salaries were appointed . He was al 8 & opposed to the Convention electing officers for the whole association , and gave the plan his decided opposition . Mr . Maynard seconded the resolution . He should give the plan his most urqualifled and determined opposition . He conceived it would require enormous funds to carry it out ; in his opinion it was entirely

      undemocratic to allow a committee to elect a head for the "whole association ; he was in favour of the present plan , with some slight alterations . He thought that the people had been equally to blame with the Executive in not carrying it out , The Executive should be properly paid for their services , and attend solely to the business of the country . Mr . Simpson entirely disapproved of Mr . Cooper's plan , and consideredthat he iMr . Obad been equally guilty -with others in deviating from the old plan . Mr . Rob 6 was in favour of the plan advocated by Mr . Bill , of a paid Secretary and an unpaid committee . Mr . Wheeler was opposed to the main feature of the plan proposed by Mr . Cooper . The election of officers

      by a limited Convention , would give great scope for the Exercise of faction ; he could see no utility in having a Yic 9 President or a Vice Secretary , unless it was to mske up the number of five , which Mr . Cooper considered t ® be necessary for an Execntive . He was in favour of a paid Secretary , an unpaid Treasurer , and a committee of four residing in the same town as the Secretary , who shou'd act as assistants or advisers to him , and receive a small monthly salary for their services . Mr . Dron should record his opinions in opposition to the plan of Mr . Cooper , but was also opposed to an unpaid committee , as proposed by Mr . HUl ; he conceived that to be flying from one extreme to the other—he was in favour of a middle course . He

      was very sorry that the country had ceased to send in contributions to the Executive until they were out of or&ee or had resigned . It was & duty incumbent upon them to afford them their support . Mr . Page was opposed to Q& principle features of Mr . Cooper ' s plan , but thought thaf tte system of monthly Balance Sheets and Class Papers would be an improvement upon the present plan , Mr . Mndge agreed with the other peakerj In reference to the proposed plan of Mr . Co ° PeR A delegate expressed his surprise that no member of the Conference from London , should have

      been made acquainted -with the meeting of delegates « wMeh Mr . Coopert plan was adopted . Mr . Maynard stated he and bii brother delegates -were in company with Mr . Cooper nntil a late honr on Friday , bat fie heard not a syllable of the projected meetings , or he should have stayed in Birmingham to attend it . Other delegates expressed BJmilw opinions . Mr . Cufiay ' B motion , rejecting the plan of Mr . Cooper , was unanlmousiy agreed to . Mr . Wheeler brought forward a resolution , expressive of the views he entertained relative to an Executive . Mr . Bose seconded the motion , but itwaBuHamately _ wlthdr » wn , and a notice ol motion

      given to a similar effect . Mr . Page was instructed by the Bloomsbnry locality to lay before them the following resolution , agreed to at a public meeting of that' body : 'Resolved , that it 1 b the opinion of this meeting that on account of the important business transacted by the National Charter Association , we , the Chartists of Bloomsbury , feel called upon to recommend , and think it most important tbat the Metropolitan delegate meeting should immediately go to the election of a General Secretary ( pro . tern . ); to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr . John Campbell ; we deem it of the greatest consequence , owing to the very unsettled state of affairs , not knowing where to apply for cards or otherwise to forward communications whieh it is the buBiuess of a General Secretary alone te receive . We

      therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the said delegate meeting the necessity of purchasing a fresh eet of books , in case Mr . Campbell ( the late Secretary ) do not immediately give up the books , cards , arid papers , the same being property belonging to the National Charter Association . We further recommend that the delegate meeting do take into their consideration : the propriety of making Bome alteration in the cards to be issued in future , or take such means as they may think proper , to prevent any cards ( held back from the Association ) being issued , until the said Association are perfectly satisfied and the accounts settled . We , the Chartists of Bloomsbnry , think this a most important question on accountof a determination come to by Mr . Campbell not to give up the books ,

      cards , and papers until he the said J . Campbell is paid the sum of £ 16 15 b Sid . being monies due to bim by the said association . " Tbe resolution , on the motion of Mr . Rose , wasrtceived . Mr . Page then brought his motion for the delegate meeting to appoint a secretary pro . tern . Messrs . Wheeler , Dron , Cuffdy , and others thought that the delegate meeting had no authority , and that the matter muBt be left to the decision of ; tbe whole body . Mr . Page then postponed the motion until tbe following Sunday . Mr . Mudge having stated hid intention of going for a period into the West of England , the Secretary was instructed to give hi » i a certificate , as being an active and trustworthy Chartist . After the transaction of other minor business , tbe meeting adjourned .

      Mr . Parri lectured to a very numerous audience on Sunday evening , at the National Association . Hall , Hoibora , upon " The Life and Genius of Lord Byron . " It was an intellectual treat of the highest order , and gave universal satisfaction . Political and Scientific Institute . —An important meeting of the Committee was held on Sunday , Mr . J . Coleman In cbair . The minutes of tbe previous meeting were read and confirmed . Deputations were appointed to visit all the localities ifl London , to request the members to take up shares' in the above Institution immediately , for the purpose of

      completeing the repairs requisite previous to tbe opening of the same , which is expected to be in about a month ' s time . The working committee reported the progress of repairs and recommended some plans regarding the lighting up the large room , and also a plan of the platform which ¦ were ado pted by the committee Bnd agreed to by this committeB . The deputation appointed to collect funds reportsd the result of their labours , from which it appeared the total amounts collected by gifts ,, shares , and loans , amounted to about oue hundred pounds , which has been expended in repairs and towards paying the premium of £ 100 for lease . The following prospectus baa been issued : —

      THE CITT OF LONDON POLITICAL AND SClEJiTlFIC

      INSTITUTION . 1 st—The objects of the Institute are to establish' a cheap and commodious place of meeting , fur all ordinary public eccasiocs , itxcepi that of religious discussions ) such as Political Meetings of any party , trades meetings , lectures , and innocent recreations . 2 nd . —Te establish a library and reading room , upen such moderate teruiB as to allow the working classes to freely profit thereby . . 3 rd . —To establish a day school , at the lowest possible price , yet vt a character calculated to afford sound and useful education . 4 th . —The management of the Institute will be under twenty-five directors , nineteen of whom are appointed from and by the shareholders at each of their annual general meetings ; tho six trustees being tx officio directors .

      The committee have taken possession of part of a laxgB building in Turnagain-lane , Skinner-street , City of London , which they are converting into a Hall , 76 ft . long by 24 ft . wide , capable of holding one thousand five hundred persons , which will have attached to it a Library room and Committee room . The premises are taken for four years and nine months , from Christinas , 1842 , at the yearly rent of thirty guineas , after paying a premium of one hundred pounds , and are held in the names of six trustees . A deposit has been paid to the landlord , and an agreement for a lease executed , with liberty to extend the term to seven , fourteen , or twentyone years longer . The calculation which the committee have made of tbe yearly cost of the Hall is as follows : — £ s . d . , Premium , paid on deposit ... 5 0 0 To be paid by the 20 tu Fub . 18 * 3 95 0 ' Estimates of repairs and fitting up 200 0 0

      £ 300 0 0 Which divided by 4 j years , makea per annum 80 0 0 Rent 31 10 0 Taxes ... 15 0 0 Insurance ... 4 0 0 £ 130 10 0 The Committee have divided tbe right in that Hall into five thousand shares of five shillings each , which , when sold , would aff ml an ample fund for carying out the objects of the Institute .

      Bat as success in Belling the shares will in some measure depend upon the occupation and use of the Hall , the committee have determined to ask the aid of those who agree with them in the great usefulness of their undertaking . Three hundred and forty shares have beau sold , and donations to the amount of thirty pounds have been received , independent of others promised . * Theophilcs Salmon , Secretary , 5 , New Court , Farringdon-street . The committee in laying the above proapectuB before the public , wish to Bay that the sums therein enumerated will cover every expense requisite to carry out the objects therein contained , as they consider it very important , that the public should not be buoyed up with

      falsa hopes , as is the case too often among companies to catch the unwary . The books of rnles have also been printed and ordered to be sold at two-pence each only , to be had of the committee and any agent and committee in all the rooms of meeting in London . Tbe deputations appointed to visit various members of Parliament , reported the result of their labours , which were on tbe whole very encouraging . Mr . O'Connor had also promised to give three lectures on the land in the new ha ll , when opened for the benefit of the same . Among the noblemen and gentlemen who subscribed to the establishment of the Hall , were the following : —The Right Hon . Earl Radnor , £ 15 ; Thomas Penn , Eaq ., of Greenwich , £ 5 5 s . who promised farther assistance ; Dr . Fellowes , £ 2 ; Dr . Bowring , M . P ., £ 1 ; Bracey Clark , Esq ., 5 s ., with a promise of five pounds worth of books , as soon as a library is formed . Several other genUemenhad likewise promised to assist the committee

      as soon as Parliament met T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., had also promised to give tbe committee £ 25 to assist them in so laudable an undertaking . Votes of thanks were passed to the above gentlemen for their kindness . Mr . Cleave also made tho committee a present of 500 Chartist Circulars , to be sold for the benefit of the hall . The committee meet every Sunday morning , at ten , and every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to dispose of shares and receive monies due for the same , at their temporary Hall , 65 , Old Bailey . Much praise is due to the committee for their perseverence in waiting upon parties day and night , to endeavour to collect funds to open the Hall , which when done , will form a very commodious and handsome place of meeting , much to the credit of the working men of London , who it is hoped will back the committee in opening the above place , by taking out shares .

      At a meeting of the united Chartist shoemakers , held at tba Star C'ffee-house , Golden-lane , Mr . Baxter was called to the chair ; upon the motion of Mr . Kearnes , it was unanimously agreed that we adopt the plan of Organization as laid down by Mr , Cooper , but that one penny per fortnight be the contribution of each member ; one penny per month to go to the genera ! fund , and one penny per month to defray the expences of the locality . The Camberwell Locality met as usual at tha Cock Inn , to transact business , after which Mr . Lovett gave a very excellent lecture to a respectable audience , upon the principles of the People ' s Charter . IjONGTON . —Mr . Davies , of Hawick , preached here on Sunday .

Tnomason lectured here on Sunday afternoon last , and intends rousing the people of these districts to a sense of their duty by out-door lecturing as soon as the weather becomes a little fine . DUDIJ 3 Y . —Mr . Cook has received-two shillings and sixpence from Kings wood for Mr . Mason . This is the sixth contribution from tbe same place . MIDDLETON— On Thursday evening week , Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , lectured in the Reformers ' Cbapel , on tbe fallacies and rank hypocrises of the Corn Law Repealers , to a numerous and respectable audience .

      CARX . JSI . S . —The Working Men ' s Mental Improvement Society . —The members of this society have had two night ' s very animated discussion , on the following question— " What hopes are there of a speedy and cordial union between the middle and working classes of society , in this country , from the results of the Birmingham Conference ? " Mr . Bawman opened the discussion by taking a review of the proceedings which took place at the various elections , for choosing members to the Conference , and regretted tbat a spirit of intolerance bad been exhibited , not at all compatible with public liberty . This spirit ha was sorry to say had been carried into the Conference , and bad been the cause of the division which had taken place . He condemned the-Sturge . party for retiring on being left in a minority on Mr . Lovett ' s amendment ; and concluded a long address , by calling on the people to think and aot

      for themselves . Mr . GUbertson followed . He took a retrospective view of the conduct of the middle classes during the passing of the Reform Bill , and showed how they bad deceived the people on all eccasions , when they had au opportunity of doing so ; indeed he had no confidence in them whatever , and would advise the people not to trust them again . He then dwelt on the proceedings at the Conference , and strongly condemned the conduct of the Sturge party in wi .= hing for priority , and refusing Mr . Lovett ' s off ^ r to withdraw bis amendment ' , if they would allow the Charter to be laid on the table and discussed in conjunction with the Bill as drawn up by the Sturge party . He read several quotations from the Northern Slar , in illustration of his views . Messrs . Hutchiuson , Arnietroug , and Hanson , severally addressed the meeting , after which Mr . Bowman replied and tbe discussion ciswd . *

      ARBKOATH . —Mr . Abram Duncan delivered a a very instructive and enur « etic Ucture in tbe Chartist Hall , Burnside , on Saturday , Jan . 21 , on tha taxition of the country ; Mr . Robert SteVt-nson in the chair-Air . D . said the time has not yet arrived when every British subject has got sufiaciunt food and clothing , for we find that tenfold misery has increased of late years by misgovernment , and the people will continue to sink in the scale of moral degradation and wretchedness until equal justice is dune to tfeem . Taxes are increased , and the social system is diminishing , and unless the people are enfranchised they will never be free and elevated as rational beings . We toil , and our labour is taxed , and all the articles nece-saiy for existence are taxed . The light of heaven is tixea , and we can only enjoy it in our homes by paying to the

      Government a tax ; if we live , we are taxed ; if we die , we are t axed ; Ages yet unborn are taxed previous to their coming , into existence . There is but or . e remedy for slavery , and that is union . Liberty is not to be bought with gold : its price is too hi : h ; its vuluo too great The enslaved must themselves unite to broak their fetters ; must get political power in their own bands ; must exerci . se that power honestly and with discretion ; and freedom in this worlii" will speedily be established . Let us swear by all that is sacred and deav to us to make every tffo . t human capability afforda . us peacefully , though resoiuteJy and determinate )? , to set up tho banner of liberty on the high hills of our native land , that it may be viewed by the world , and that our brethren in all parts of the globe may emulate our p&trietic and virtuous example .

      Mary-hill . —k public meeting was held in the Odd Fallows' Hall , on Wednesday evening week , to hear a report of two of the delegates from Glasgow to the Conference at Birmingham . Mr . James Adams gave 0 very minute detail of tbe proceedings of tbe Confertnce wbUih mot with general approbation ; and Mr . Juan Colquhoun also addressed the meeting at considerable length . It was moved by Mr . Li nnis and seconded by Mr . Nicol , " That the thanks of the Chattiets of Maryhill bo respectfully tendered to each of the dele / atcs who voted for the People ' s Charter at the Conference at Birmingham , " which "was carried without a dlaspntient . A vote of thanks was than carried to the dele gates from Glasgow with acclamation , when the meeting quietly dispersed .

      NEWCASTLE . —Tbe Suffragists of this locality bad the walls placarded , announcing a public meeting of members to hear the report of their delegates t <> the Conference . Messrs . Kldtl and Staelair ibelitvingthey were acting perfectly right ) attended in tbe capacity of reporters to take a report of the proceed ings for tb ^ Star , < kc ; but Sinclair had scarcely entered the room , when the " Sucking Pig" General-, Wiikie , calculating upon the assistance of the rest of the humbugs , opened a regular tirade of abuse against Sinclair in particular and the Chartists in genera !; and concluded by stating that they could not proceed with business , if their proceedings were to be reported to the world , and requested the whole of the Chartists to withdraw , whose presence had been attracted by a report that tbe humbugs

      intended to use Kidd and Sinclair badly . Kidd said tbat he attended as a reporter to one of the most popular journals of the day ; and that if they requested it , he would instantly retire , and leave them alone in their glory ; but before he did so , he would beg to inform Mr . W . tbat he was ashamed of tbe conduct of tbe Sturgitea at the Conference . He was prepared to prove their conduct on that occasion to be anti-democratic ; and , moreover , be would prove to those present , or to any man at any time or place , that tbe Sturgenien were either dishonest , or else impolitic , and checked Mr . Wiikie in some insinuations which he bad thrown out agaiust Mr . OC : nnor in a private company in Birminghani . Mr . W . altempted to deny , but finding that

      Mr K . wsb aot to be trifled with , he bad to confess , but would not undertake to prove his assertions to be true—the Chartists afterwards extracting a pledge from the " Sucking Pigs , ' that they would not pass resolutions , and stamp them as the resolutions of a public meeting , then retired . The League having no f . iith in the honesty of the cause they advocate , found it inexpedient to hold public meetings in Newcastle and Sunderland , as at first intended , but collected their whole forces from Sunderland , South Shields , North Shields , Durham , Stockton , Hescbam , Morpeth , Alnwick , G&tesbead , Blyth , and Newcastle , to attend a public meeting in Newcastle , on Friday evening last , as they considered it dangerous to meet the Cbartists of ¦ Newca stle with a less number at their lucks than the

      humbugs of all the aforesaid towns and districts . After all they were afraid to try the experiment , without surrounding their chairman , the spital knight , with a shilling hedge , for none were admitted to the body of tbe ball without paying one shilling , and sixpence to the gallery . The Chartists knew better than to enrich their enemies by any such way , and wrote a challenge to the League , appointing Messrs . Frankland and Sinclair as a deputation to present it to them at the public meeting . When they arrived at the door they explained their mission , but would not be admitted without paying one panny each . Sinclair undertook the business by himself , and walking up to the platform presented the following note to the chairman , requesting him to read it uloud , which he did , viz . " The Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead are prepared to prove that a repeal of the Corn Laws , without accompanying measures , cannot benefit the working classes of this country , and do hereby challenge Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Col . P .

      Thompson , or any other gentleman to prove the contrary , at a public meeting upon equal terms . By order of the Chartists of No-wcaat ' e and Gateshead , James Sinclair , ) Secretary . "—No sooner was the note read than tbe humbugs were filed with consternation . They declared they would kick Sinclair off the platform for having the impudence to come and challenge them , thinking that as he was the only Chartist there , he would take the hint and run away ; but they soon found that they bad got the wrong sow by the ear—he was not of the run-away sort , but offered to exchange kicka with any of them that should make any such attempt . After the meeting , Messrs . Kidd , Con Murray , and Sinclair , hunted all the hotels in town for Mr . Cobden , to demand an explanation from him respecting the insinuations thrown out against the Chartists by him -, but it was no go . It would appear that he avoided coming in contact with them , knowing that thiey were too heavy metal for him .

      £ 2 5 0 MANCHESTER . —A public meeting was held in the Caartist Room , Brown-Btreet , on Thursday evening last , to hear a lecture delivered upon the principles of tho People ' s Charter by Mr . Brown , from London . The room was crowded . Mr . Wm . Dixon was called to the chair . Mr . Brown , upon coming forward , was greeted by loud applause . He commenced by stating tbat nothing could more effectually prove the rapid progress cf the principles of democracy than the fact that the working classes had found , that in order to be in possession of their just sights , it was necessary tbat they themselves should do the work . Some few years

      ago , it was the general opinion of the working population , that in order to apolitical agitation it was neces sary that they ahoul * be in possession of a liberal education . But since tba commencement of the present agitation for the Charter , tbe working men had found out that they ceuld advocate the principles contained that document , because those principles were founded upon truth , and therefore seeded no sophistry to recommend them to the people . They bad fonnd also that by coming in contact with their opponents in the arena of public discussion , that notwithstanding they were clad in fustian with their faces unwashed and their chins unshorn , that they were more than a match for tboaa who dued to meet them , although they were

      dressed in the finest of coats , with sleek faces , and the advantages of education on thei * side ; and if any thing was wanting to prove this , he need not go out of Manchester to substantiate tbe fact Had they not known ; Jack , Sam , and Bill to leave the factory and the loom after a hard day ' s work and go to meet the tools of ( tbe League , and by their plain unvarnished tales of truth to make the Corn Law gents , wince beneath the castigations that they had repeatedly given them ? ( loud cheers . ) Mr . Brown then gave a favourable account of the progress of Chartism in the metropolis , and urged tbe audience to inculcate and encourage the growth of the principles of temperance and virtue , and in a powerful manner depicted the evils of intemperance , nationally , moially , and politically . Mr . Brown » at down amid th e most rapturous applause . Some interesting amusements then followed , and tbe meeting broke up . !

      The South Lancashire Delegate Meeting was hb'd in the Chartist Room , Brown-street , Manchester , on Sunday last . The attendance of delegates was larger than has been the case lately . Mr . Haslem was called to tbe chair . Tbe Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting , which were confirmed . Mr . NuUall tben tosb to bring forward tbe motion of which he gave notice at the last meeting . As Cbartists they were bound to carry oat the principles which they advocated as far as possible in their own concerns . He was Borry to say this had not been attended to as much as it ought to have been . One of the points of the Charter was equal representation ; and , therefore , the object of the present motion was to amend the constitution of the county council , so as to procure the benefit ef equal

      representation to the Chartists of this division of Lancashire . 1 The principles of the resolution were just , and therefore needed nat a long speech upon it . He would , therefore , content himself by reading tbe resolution :-j- " That in the opinion of this meeting , in order to provide for the just representation of the Chartists in the county council , tbat each locality be allowed oue delegate for each fifty members $ and in order that ail may be represented , those that have not tbe number of members shall have one delegate to the said council . ' Mr . Dixon seconded the motion . Mr . Iaherwood moved an amendment , and in doing so he wished to be distinctly understood . Ha agreed with the spirit of the resolution moved by his friend Mr . Nuttall , but it was his opinibn that if the resolution was passed , it would

      destroy the very thing it was intended to secure—equal representation ; for instance , Warrington , supposing it to have 150 members , it would coat them thirty shillings for I delegate expenses , whilst Manchester could send the same number of delegates -without any expense whatever , and the same might be said of all the other localities ; therefore if the motion was adopted ,: whilst it made the representation equal , it also made tho delegate expenses very unequal . It was with those views that he brought forward his amendment— •« That it is the opinion of this meeting , that each locality have two \ otes tot every hundred members , and au . additional vote for evt > ry fifty members above that number , providing they have a delegate present ; and- all

      locaii'ies not having fifty members Bhall be allowed one delegate . '' Mr . Railton seconded the amendment . Af ' er a ilittlo discussion Mr . Nuttall withdrew his motion in favour of tha amendment—Mr . Millar tben moved the original motion as an anitndrnent to Mr . Istwrwood ' s motion , which was seconded hy Mr . Cameron . An animal' i but friendly debate took place upon tbe relative merits of the two resolutions ; and , upon being put to the vote , Mr . Ishurwood ' s motion was carried . Mr . Nuttall moved , and Mr . Rp . ilton seconded , " That we engage a lecturer for this district . "—Carried unanimously . Mr . Cameron moved , and Mr . Isherwood seconded , " That the salary

      of the lecturer be 30 s . per week . "—Carried . On the motion of Mr . Railton , Mr . C . Doyle was engaged fora fortnight , jto commence upon next Monday but one . Moved by Mr . Iaherwood , and seconded by Mr . Hibbert—V That Mos&rs . Railton , Miller , Nuttall , and Dixon be elected as a committee to make out a route fur Mr . Dosle , and to bring out the new plan . "Agreed to . The case of Mr . Thomas Dickinson , better known as ibs Manchester Packer , was brought before the delegates by Mr . Nuttali , and supported by Wm . D'x > n ; and , after a calm ami impartial investigation cf all the circumstances of that gentleman ' s case , tbe delegates passed the following resolutions unanimously : —

      • ' That we ; the delegates of South Lancashire , in delegate meeting assembled , after examining the charges brought against Mr . Thos . Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packer , declare , that unless other evidence mn be produced than that brought before us , we exonerate bim from all blame , and r » quest chat he will continue in the agitation as a general lecturer . '' Mr . Isbeiifood moved , ai d Mr . Hibbtrt seconded , — " That we ; tbe delegates of S >> uth Lancashire , do not interfere with the plun proposed by Mr . Coopor at the prcocnt . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Isherwood moved the adjournment of the meeting until that day three weeks . Agreed to . Tbe Chartist painters of Manchester paid in ninepenec to the Irish lecturer ' s fund . The tbanka of the delegates were then given to the Cha i rman , and tbe meeting separated .

      A general Meeting of the Chartists of Manchester was held in the Carpenters' Hall , on Sunday morning last , Mr . John Murray in the chair . The following resolutions were passed : — ' That this meeting , after duly considering the Plan of Organ z * tien , proposed by Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , are of opinion that , it would be found wholly irr . practics . We , besides exposing many of cur best friendi to the meshes of the law , and therefore they deem it prudent to rpjecfc it altogether . " j " That this meeting believing that the old Plan of Organizition might ba rendered perfectly efficient for all the purposes required , are therefore of

      opinion that ; a delegate meeting should be called to consider its details , and to make such additions and emendations its the delegates instructed by their various constituencies might think necessary . " l < That this meeting recommend to the country the following five persons , v ' x . \ Messrs . Dron , Maynard , Lucas , Wheeler , and Ridley , as a committee to audit the books of th& Executive Committee . " After some conversation upon a variety of local business the meeting was' adj jurned until the first Sunday in February . AU communications for the ; Chartists meeting in Carpenters' Hall must be addressed to Maurice Donovan , 15 , Gardenstreet , Hulsne , Manchester .

TON ( Northamptonshire . )—Mr . B . G Gamma ^ e lectured here , on the right of the people to the occupation of the land . He handled his subject in a most argumentative manner , and supported his position as well from scripture as from reason . KIDDERTVUNETER—Mr . Crouch lectured here on Monday last , at the White Horse Inn , and gave general satisfaction . At the close three shillings was collected for the Victim Fund , and five new members were enrolled .
