      POST-OFFICE 0 RDERS , —All persons sending money to this Office toy Post-office Order , are especially requested to make tneir orders payable to Mr . John Ardill , as , by a recent alteration in the Post-offire arrangements , any neglect of this would cause as a great amount of trouble and

      amnoyance . X beg to assure Mr . O'Connor ' s friends that he receives more letters than he can possibly answer . We trust this announcement will be sufficient for those whose Utters remain unanttcered . Mm . Chsjstofhkb Dotlb , of Manchester , has forwarded us a communication respecting apiece of petty tyranny towards him and others emp ' oycd at a mill in PoUard-street , Holt Town The circumstances are briefly these . —On Easter Tuesday , the female weavers in the mill Just named performed a kind of play , called "lifting , ' vhich , though a rather ridiculous custom , has

      been a common practice for ihe last nine yea ; s . The young master and the overlookers' manager looked on , and by their non-interference countenanced the play , and about 140 of the hands stopped work in the afternoon , in consequence of the confusion and disorder produced by the morning ' s sport . On the Saturday following , the young master fined every tiro loom weaver Is . Sd ., and every four loom weaver 3 s ., for being offfrom their work . Our correspondent complained of this unlooked-for and unjust exaction , and told his employer he teas stopping double the sum he could earn on that afternoon , and that he did not earn more than 9 s . a week on the average .

      Mr . Doyle thus continues his narrative : — "He answered me very sharply , that he would not return me the fine imposed upon me . I said to him , ' / consider it a piece of barefaced , unblushing robbery , to take Is . 6 d . of my small wages ' ( which , by ihe bye , were but 3 s . 6 d . for thai weekj ; and I told him if he would not pay me withoutfurther trouble , I would certainly apply 16 a quarter where I tfuyught he would be compelled to pay me . I then left him , and on Monday morning I applied again , and asked the young gentleman if he would grant me leave of absence for about three hours . * What for V * i

      itant to go to Broicn-street . ' ' What to do there ? ' T » take out a summons . ' 'For whom V i For you , Sir . He then said , 'X > o you mean to say you ought net to be fined ? ' 'Certainly not , ' said I , in the present case . ' Mr . Editor , to make my story short , he gave me my wages , and a fortnight ' s noiiee to leave . " Our correspondent tends us this instance of millocratic in justice to thov his fellow workmen they have little to expect from the mUlocracy , whether Whig or Tory , arid to tell them that such conduct will continue to be the case until the people have a free voice in the selection of those who are to make the lairs , by whiclt labour as well as capital should be fairly protected .

      GREAT MEETING AT THE TOWN-HALL , BIRMINGHAM . DEFEAT OF THE WHIGi AND GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS . The town of Birmingham has been in a state of feverish excitement for the last week . Small knots of Whigs and Corn Law repealers , were to be seen running through the streets in all directions , beating up for recruits . The workshops and factories were canvassed , and intimidation , cajolery , and all the arts of cunning were had recourse to in order te prop up the failing Whigs , and induce the working men to sign the petitions got up at the bole-and-corcor meetings . They at length mustered courage , and came to the determination of calling a town ' s meeting . A

      requisition was got up requesting the Mayor to call a meeting at the town-hall , and on Sataiday large bills were posted containing a long list of requisitioniste , and giving notice that a meeting would be held at tbe town-hall , on the following Monday , at eleven o ' clock , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a revision of the Corn Laws , and Custom Laws . The placard was signed by the Mayor . In the meantime the Chartists were sot idle . At half-past ten , the doors were thrown open . — The rush was tremendous , all parties hastening to secure the best position . The immense hall , which is calculated to hold ten thousand people , was soon crammed , amongst whom was a large sprinkling of the fair sex , who seemed to take a lively interest in tba matter .

      Mr . Mumtz then took the chair and was cheered by the meeting . Tbe Chartist staff then appeared , and fell in , " rank and file , " on the left of the Chairman , and were loudly cheered . At eleven o ' clock , the Mayor stood up and stated that as the time for commencing the business had arrived , he should recommend them to give every person who addressed them a fair and impartial hearing . He hoped they would assist him in keeping order , and afterwards decide as they thought proper . He then introduced Mr . Aid . Weston . Mr . Weston proceeded to address the meeting in the usual anti-Corn Law Btvle . He read a string

      of statistics , shewing as well as he knew how the immense benefits that would arise from the proposition of the Ministry , descanted on the great blessings of cheap bread and cheap sugar , and concluded with a few fine nourishes about his love for the peoplo . He then proposed a string of resolutions approving the Ministerial plan , and also a petition founded on the same , and sat down amidst a mixture of groans and cheers . Mr . Geokce Edmonds seconded the resolution , and with a significant nod of his head towards the Chartist speakers , informed the Chairman that he should reserve what he had to say until a future stage of the proceedings .

      Mr . Georcs Whits then presented himself , and was received with loud and repeated cheers from the immense assembly . He said that he held in his hand an amendment to the proposition brought before them b y Mr . Alderman Weston , and he hoped that all parlies would giro a fair and impartial hearing to each speaker , as that was the only way to elicit truth , and come to a just conclusion . The question now before them had been long agitated , and he felt highly pleased that the Chartists had at last got an opportunity of meeting their opponents face toface . ( Loud cheers . ) He was happy to find that the Bame steps which were taken by the anti-Corn Law party at Manchester had not been followed up at Birmingham , He considered that meeting as a

      full and fair representation of the town , as all parties had free access ; and whatever decision they came to that day would and ought to go forth to the country as the solemn decision of the men of Birmingham on this important question . ( Hear , hear . ) He had listened with great attention to tbe statements of Mr . Weston , but be should not follow his example—namely , going to all parts of the world in search of arguments . He should content himself by stating facts which were known to them all , and which no man could controvert . The Chartists had been called Tories for the part they took in the Corn Law question , and the only reason that could be given was , that they would not be Whigs . Some people seemed to have

      strange notions , and to fancy that any man , not being a Whig , must , as a matter of course , be a Tory . But he had a bit of a Becret to tell ihe gentlemen on hia right . ( Laughter . ) There was a party in this country called Chartists , who were an overwhelming majority of the nation , and they would prove it to them before they left that hall . ( Lond and repeated cheers . ) What , after all , was the proposition brought forward by Mr . Weston or her Majesty ' s Ministers ! What benefit would it confer on tbe workiDg classes ! None whatever . Were they to bs told , that afteryears of unparalleled suffering , the present measure was the OHty one intended for their relief ! Away with such mockery ! Were the toiling , starving , and oppressed working men of

      Great Britain to be told that the present paltry bumbng was all that they were to receive from their tenderhearted rulers ? Down with such impostors ! But what was the real amount of benefit which the measure would confer , even taking all that had been adyanced by Mr . Weston to be true , and he could not expect to be placed in a better position thaji that . It appeared that the duty on sugar was to be made less by Is . 6 d . on every cwt . than it was at preseut . Let them calculate how much that would reduce the poor man ' s pound or half & pound ; it would not make half a farthing less . He congratulated thegeDtkmen on his right on their happy selection of a subject on which to make their appearance before the public . It was a very sweet one . ( . Loud laughter . ) But they would find to their sorrow , that neither sweet smiles , or sweet words would again entrap the working men . He would ask the meeting whether they were willing to be

      cajoled by men who had already deceived them , and again put them in a position where they could sell their rights for a lick of sugar J ( No . ) No , it would not do to tell that tale now a days ! The working men were too enlightened , and ihe promises of a mouthful of bread or a spoonful of sugar would not Eatisfy them . They were determined to have fuil and complete justice and nothing Ie 3 s . He wished the meeting to look at the consistency of the men who made the present proposition , that they wished for an augmentation of the revenue—what earthly diffisrence did it make to them whether they paid taxes ont of their right or their left pocket , so long as they were compelled to pay the same amount , for it was well known that the whole would be wrung from the labour aud sweat of the working classes . Mr . Weston had alao complaiaed of the enormous duties which were levied on imported articles , and tbe small amount levied in America . He would tell them the cause of it . The Americans

      had not to pay fifty millions of taxes annually , to keep horses ot Whig and Tory bloodsuckers . ( Loud cheers . ) On the contrary , the whole expences of their Government were not so much as was paid to the Bench of Judges in this country . ( Shame . ) The Chartists , then , were the only class of politicians who proposed a real and permanent remedy . Tney were also told by Mr . Weston , that if the master manufacturers were better off , they would ( pay higher wa # es to their men . He doubted it , tor were they not building palaces for themselves on the outskirts of every laig ' e town ?—and it was his belief that if they bad mansions equal to that of the Duke of Buccleugh , they would not then be satisfied . It had been often stated by those parties , that the

      value of land had increased enormously of late years . Why , then , was not the coudition of th « agricultural labourer bettered ? Instead of that being the casa , they found that they wero getting worse , and he had no reason to think that the manufacturers were any better than their neighbours . The fact was , that if labourers wero scarce , they would receive high wages , but when they ivere plentiful ,, the masters kept them at starvation point , no matter how large their profits . They were told that the measurenow proposed would increase trade . Well , suppose that it did ! The maniifactarers would increase machinery to such an extent as to overstock the globe—and if they even had a trade to the moon , and all tbe planets—allowing that they were populated , and that they could reach them , the working men would soon be as ba 41 y off as ever . But he saw no reason why Englishmen ought not to live without being slaves for every other nation ,

      and be everlastingly immured in factories . He saw no reason why poor littlt children gkould be dragged from their bsda on a frosty morning , and converted into cripples , in order to make a fortune for other people . He would tell them that there was no hope of bettering their condition until their labour wa 3 protected , and that their onl y chauce of an effectual remedy was in the establishment of the People ' s Charter . He conjured them to stand up in the dignity of manhood , and declare to the worJd that they would be free . ( Loud cheers . ) They had seen that Mr . Edmonds had reserved himself , in order to make use of his powers of cajolery . He warned them to be on their guard ; the welfare of themselves , their families , and their country depended on their decision that day . He considered that he had fully refuted everything advanced by Mr . Weston ; he should therefore leave the matter to their judgment , and propose the following

      amendment : — " Resolved—That the present measure of relief proposed by the Whigs , is an insult to the toilworn and , suffering miilions of this country ; and proves that they have no desire to do justice to tbe people . They have also proved , by eight years of heartless prcfi gacy and misrule , that their most solemn promises are not to be regarded , and that they are unworthy of the people's confidence . That although the Corn Laws are imjusfc and oppressive , yet the present House of Commons being inimical to the people ' s rightB , will not repeal the same , except through an agitation bordering on Revolution . " He then sat down amid loud cheeriDg .

      Mr . Benjamin Hill seconded the amendment As Mr . Edmonds had reserved himself , they had resolved to keep some of their great guns reserved also . He hoped that the discussion might be feirly

      Untitled Article

      conducted , and that each party would receive a patient hearing . ( He was immediately interrupted by a gentleman named Smith . ) Mr . Hill proceeded . He waa very sorry that Mr . Smith left his brains at home , and could conduct himself no better . ( Some confusion here took place , and after an explanation from Mr . Smith , Mr . Hill resumed . ) He supported the amendment because he considered the Whig proposal to be an outrageous insult to the unfortunate beings who were compelled to toil for four or five shillings per week , to offer them such a paltry and contemptible measure , which , if it was ever carried , would not , according to the representation of its warmest advocates , do any more than reduce a ponnd of sugar from 7 d . to tUd . The working

      men could not afford to lose their time in agitating for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and were determined to get rid of her Majesty ' s brutal ministers . Would the working men be ihe tools to prop up the most wicked Government that ever existed in this country ! ( No , no , and loud cheers . ) He knew they would not . Mr . Muntz , the member for Birmingham , had declared in his place in Parliament , " that a repeal of the Corn Laws could not be effected without reducing wages , and that it meant that , or it meant nothing ; " yet the same man Bends a letter to the inhabitants of Birmingham , advising them to support the present measure . Where was

      the consistency of such conduct ! The people of this ill-used country were already in deep trouble , and it was the intention of the Corn Law repealers to make them Btili worse and bring them to a level with their suffering brethren in Ireland . They were told to agitate for the present measure . He would do so suoh thing , for he knew that the same amount of agitation that carried the Reform Bill would also carry a Republic , if they thought proper . Why not agitate for the Charter , and then they could settle all other questions ? For these reasons he would second the amendment . Mr . Hill retired and was loudly and deservedly cheered .

      Robert Kellie Douglas then made his appearance in front , and was treated to a hearty round of hisBes , mingled with a few weak oheers . He endeavoured to get up a smile , but could not manage it ; he saw that his day was gone by . He however commenced to tell much the same story as the worthy Alderman who preceded him . He said that Mr . White had told them that the value of land had increased . That was just what he wanted to impress on their minds . Ho then endeavoured to exonerate himself from the charge of wishing to assist the Whigs ; he declared that he would hare nothing to do with them . ( The meeting did not relish this , and commenced shouting " It won't do , " " We don't believe you , " &c . ) He hoped they would give him a

      hearing ; he had been all his life a reformer , and thought they should allow him to be heard , f We have heard you too often . " ) Mr . Douglas then produoed a small map with a zig-zag line drawn through the middle , in order to show the meeting the rise and fall in the price of corn , and got laughed and hooted at for his pains . He then produced Tail ' s Magazine , in order , as he stated , to read an account of the Manchester massacre . The meeting grew uproarious , hooting and yelling with all their might , so that not a single word was heard about the evil doings of tbe Tories . Mr . Douglas then flew into a violent rage . He bellowed and foamed in first-rate

      style , and finding that fail , he begged most pitifully . The Chairman and Chanist speakers exerted themselves to procure him a hearing ! and ultimately succeeded . He thea proceeded to tell the meeting that the men who stood with him were the most honourable men that could be found , and gave them to understand that he did not approve of the leaders whom the people had thought proper to choose . He then delivered a long tirade against the Tories , and concluded by stating that the question was not whether they would have the Whigs , bur whether they would f upporfc the Tories . He retired amidst terrific yells and groans , and looked mortified beyond measure .

      Mr . John Collihs then stood forward , and was received with loud cheers . He said that he had listened to the concluding remarks of Mr . Douglas , aud could not see what they meant , unless to prop the Whigs . When Mr . Douglas took bo much pains to abuse the Tories for their misdeeds , he could draw no other inference except that it was meant to make the Whigs appear better . Mr . Douglas had read them a long story about the misdeeds of the Tories , and the Manchester Massacre ; but he said sot a word about the Irish Coercion Bill or the Bull Ring . ( Loud cheers . ) Those gentlemen would have them to think that corn grew like blackberries , and required neither capital nor labour—that it had only to be picked up . He had a document drawn up by 1

      one of their own friends , from which it appeared that the warehousing , froight , and dues of various descriptions , which was laid upon corn leaving foreign ports , amounted to 18 s . 3 d . per quarter . Add to this the 8 s . fixed duty proposed by the Whigs , and be should like to know how much better they would be off , or what benefit they would receive from the measure . ( Loud cries of " Hear , hear . " ) Mr . Douglas had stated eoraethiog about the amount which tbe Corn Tax placed in the pockets of the landowners . If he were to bo robbed , it mattered not to him by whfch party the robbary was effected , for if the Corn Laws were repealed , he saw no likelihood of its bettering the condition of hia class . Ho would shew the meeting that the proposed measure was not Intended

      te do them any good , ( or tbe resolutions if the gentlemen on his rigkt , admitted that it was intended to increase the revenue . Bat they were told that the p ^ - aent measure was to act aa a wedge . Why ? The Reform Bill was held up to them merely as a wedge . Aud what good had they received from it . How came it to pasa that the present measure was proposed by the Whig Ministry ? Had they only just found out that their previous policy was erroneous ? If so , it proved that they were not capable of governing . ( Loud cheers . ) But they were in a minority , and consequently threw out tbe present bait , an * if he was fully satisfied that they were now sincere , he must confess that he liked not a sick bed repentance , for they often found that those who made the largest promises in that situation , seldom

      fulfilled them when tfce danger was removed , —( laughter ) ;—but giving them all credit for sincerity , the present measure was not calculated to benefit the working classes . Mr . Collins thea proceeded to read from a list of the returns of the duty charged on the importation of foreign grain , and showed to the meeting that for the last few years the average duty was less than eight shillings ; if , then , the dutj was fixed at eight shillings , it waa quite clear that it would increase the revenue , and that they would have to pay more than before ; they were told by a previous speaker that if this measure was not passed , England wonld become a desert . He remembered a motto that used to bo on one of the Political Union's flags , " England free or a desert , " and he hoped his feltow-countrynien would be content with , nothing

      less than freedom . He knew not what to think of the consistency of some men , for some of the persons who were the supporters of the present measure were a short time back opposed not only to the present plan , which was © nly a revision , but to a total repeal of the Corn Laws . He had -a paper in his band called the Birmingham Journal , in which the repeal of the Corn Laws was scoffed at as an imposition , and which positively stated that their repeal neither then ( at the time it was written ) ner at any future time could be productive of the least benefit ! He then read -various extracts from the 'Journal , which shewed up the conduct of Mr . Douglas la & most unfavourable light , and proved his present conduct to be grossly inconsistent . Whilst Mr . Collins was reading the extracts , Mr .

      Douglas happened to put bis handkerchief to his face , -when there was a tremendous burst of laughter , and shouts of ( " Don't cry , Douglas . ") Mr . Collins continued . He would wish to remind tbe Editor of ihat paper , that the riews he held of the Corn Laws were tbe same that he had promulgated . The Editor of the Journal had instructed tbe people to view the question as they then did , but the consistency of the people was not like that of some parties , it lasted longer than two or three weeks . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Collins declared that he bad not changed . He had been often blamed , and sometimes praised , but although he liked the approbation of his fellow men , he liked that of his conscience better . The parties who endeavoured to get up the present agitation ,

      wanted to be enabled to compete with foreigners , and how were they to do bo if they did not cheapen men ' s labour ? His opinion was , that nothing would better their condition but an alteration in the present House of Commons . He would therefore conclude by supporting the amendment He retired amid loud cheers . Mr . T . C . Salt then made his appearance ; he looked much defeated when be found no cheer , no token of approbation . He conimeuced , by stating that he had a bad cold , but was nevertheless determined to state his views . It was not sufficient for the parties on his left to defend their views , but they attacked others personally . ( Great confusion and groans , accompanied with shouts of "No deserters , we ' ve bad enough of you . " ' Give us the Charter , " &o ) He acknowledged

      tbe principles of the Charter ; he would go to the question like an honest man . ( Oh , oh , and confusion . ) He did not deal in high promises , like some people , and tell them they should have the Charter on a certain date . ( The hisses and yells that followed are indescribable . ) Let Chartists be Chartists . ( So we will . ) Bat if they could forward the Charter through the medium of the Corn Laws , why not do so ? ( TremendouB groans and hisses . ) He would give them the Charter if he covld , but they were divided amongst themselves . ( We are not . ) Who were the persons that had created the present division ? It was those who talked of shouldering their muskets and fighting . — ( Groans and hisses . ) They might treat him with what

      hostility they thought proper . He did not care for their hooting and groaning . He had always advocated the rights of tbe poor . ( Shouts of "You have not , " and hisses . ) If they would assist in the present agitation , they would be enabled to drag society to pieces , and then , as Cobbett said , the national debt would be their best friend , ( Tremendous groans , accompanied 1 -with cries of "We don't want to drag society to pieces , " " We want justice , " and " You are not fit for a Chartist" ) They said he was not fib to be a Chartist ; the Chartists had turned people against them by their conduct ( The meeting here grew uproarious , and all the efforts of the Chairman , assisted by the Chartist speakers , could not procure Mr . Salt a hearing . He retired in a rage . )

      Mr . Author O'Netl then stood forward , and wa loudly cheered . He said he cama there to give a warning voice to the people , lest by any means they should give another lease , to tyranny . He cast back in tha teeth of their enemies the base insinuations which had been made concerning the Chartists . They had not come there to prove whether Chartism was dead or not ; but that meeting abundantly proved tha they were neither dead noi asleep . ( Loud cheering . ) They were now better informed than ever , and would not pin their faith to any man ' s sleeve , bat were determided to abide by principle . ( Hear , bear . ) They had been taunted with acting with the Tories ; but he could prove that the Tories were acting with them , for some of them had signed their requisition . The Chartists were determined aot to take a paltry

      acknowledgment—they were determined to have alL ( Loud cheers . ) Had they any confidence in the present offer of the Whig Ministry 7 ( No , no . ) What was their conduct a fortnight ago with regard to the Irish franchise ? After proposing five pounds , they raised it to eight pounds . ( Hear . ) As an Irishman he lifted up his voice against such baseness . Were there any Irishmen present ( " Yes , yea . " ) Then he called on them , in the name of their country , to scout such deceiver * : their cry should be , " Perish the Whigs ]" They have betrayed us . Seven or eight years bad rolled over their heads : they had starved in patience , and continued to hope that the end of each year would bring them relief . They h » d hoped that something might induce the Whigs to lighten their burdens ; but , vain hope ! they aever intended to do anything for them . Tuey had heard several opinions with regard to the Whigs ; some said , " Try them again . " If the present measure was ineed to , and Ministers firmly

      fixed in their office , aad pursued tbe same course they had hitherto done , the gentlemen on his right would say the same as they then did at the expiration of the next seven years . There was no trusting them ; for if they took off a tax , what guarantee had they that they would net put it on the next week , as they had don « with tbe Malt Tax , ( Hear , hear . ) Do as they would , they would still put tkeir unhallowed hands in the peoples pockets . ( Hear , ) Nothing but tbe Charter could cure their numerous wrongs—bat lawyers and expediency mongers could not look so high—they appealed to the commonest feeling of man , namely , his belly . He implored the meeting not to sell their country for a mess of pottage . If they supported this motion they would pat the Wbfgs in power—let them stand up in the dignity of manhood and boldly demand the whole of their rights . He concluded by supporting the amendment and sat down amid loud cheers .

      The Rev . T . M Donnell , then appeared close to th « Chairman , and , in an agitated tremulous tone commenced his address . He said he should not make use of high sounding phrases . He had no doubt they would support those whom they knew to be their best friends , and who bad been so long before them . ( Laughter . ) He knew that he sot only stood in their presence , but also in the presence of his God , and therefore would not tell a lie . ( Renewed laughter , ) Why did tbe gentleman on his left laugh 1 Was it because he expressed his belief in God . ( Hisses . ) He looked upon the present proposal as calculated to do good He would tell them a story that had been related by Mr . O'Couuell . ( Loud groans , and shouts of " We want to hear nothing shout him . " ) He hoped they would give him as fair a hearing as they had given to the gentlemen on his left . ( " We have heard enough of you . " )

      Tbe Chairman and Chartist speakers exerted themshelves to procure him a hearing , after which he proceeded . The parties on his left appeared to be all young men . He saw that some bad black aud some had brown hair . ( Mr . White then pulled off his hat and stated that the Whigs had made bis hair grey in prison . Mr . M'Donnell replied , " Oh ; that is only a mark of precocious talent" ) He then stated that the Whigs were like an old hat in a broken window , although it kept bat the cold , yet it kept out the light also , bat the Tories would do neither . He then entered into along defence of his own conduct , and that of his friends , during which time he was treated to a plentiful supply of groans and hisses byway of chorus . Ho at length retired amidst the hooting and execrations of the meeting .

      Mr . Wm . Dean Taylor then stood up , and was loudly and repeatedly cheered . He said , that he understood that meeting to be called for the purpose of considering the question of the Corn Laws . But the last speaker bad dwelt nearly the whole of the time on topics unconnected with the object for which the meeting was called . His speeeh was merely a defence of himself aad friends . The speakers on the otber side had entirely departed from the question . He , however , would not do so . He would prove by facts and arguments that the view taken by their opponents was totally at variance with facts . He came not there to defend the Corn Laws ; he believed them to be unjust and oppressive , but althomgh he thought so , be maintained that the present House of Commons would not remove them without a convulsion . With a repeal of

      the Cora Laws the parties on his right had mixed up the sugar and timber duties , and as had already been shewn , the amount of the proposed reduction could not benefit the working man ; and the Corn Lawb being repealed , without at the same time passing other remedial measures , would inevitably bring unmixed ruin on the agriculturist . Ho then directed their attention to the subject of machinery . Foreign countries were manufacturing for themselves , and machinery was being exported from this country on a large scale , which enabled them not only to compete with this country , but actually to undersell them . He then read a list of the amount of machinery which bad been exported from this country to various foreign ports for tbe last ten years , from which it appeared that the exportation of machinery to other parts had

      increased enormously . Mr . Taylor then continued—Now , looking at these statements , he wanted to know how they could expect those countries to pull down their mills , and cease to manufacture ? Ho would adduce an argument that would show the meeting that Corn Laws were not the sole cause of dear bread ; for in 1803 the people paid lOd . for a loaf , and in 1812 they paid 20 d . ; and in those years the Corn Laws were not in existence . He , therefore , asked them whether the proposed redaction would procure them the benefit they Bought ? Even allowing that the present m « &&ure would give them bread at half its present price , still the masters had the power of grinding down the wages of the working m&a . What object had the advocates of the measure in view , if it was not the reduction of wages , for unless they did that , they would

      be no more able to compete with foreigners than they were at present ; and , if their wages were to be reduced , what possible benefit could they derive from tbe measure ? The working elasses of this country hod been worked like slaves , and fed like hogs ; they hod been working fer the whole world , instead © f themselves , T / ieir machinery had done them no good ; but , on the contrary , produced unheard of misery amongst the great moss of tbe people . There were other evils in existence besides the Corn Laws ; there were Poor Laws—( hear , hear , and cheers )—Police Laws , and a host of other bod laws , which had brought the labourers of this country to a state of unparalleled slavery and

      degradation . They were told that public opinion was capable of carrying the proposed measure . He admitted it ; but if public opinion was marshalled , the same amount would carry the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) The Whigs knew that public opinion was against them , and for that reason they crept into holes and comers . There was no principle in their present proposition , and he heped that now the men of Birmingham were assembled in their thousands , they weuld shew to the world that they were determined to be free . For the reasons he had stated , he should support Mr . White's amendment ; and he then retired amidst the most enthusiastic applause .

      Mr . Goddahd then addressed the meeting In a veryweak -voice . He said that he was one of the little guns on hia side of the question ; something had been said concerning the little guns on the other side , but he thought they were all big ones . He then proceeded to pass some remarks on the American trade , which were of no importance . Mr . Empson replied to Mr . Goddard's remarks , and read some statistics which shewed up the fallacies of the Corn Law repealers . Mr . George Edmonds , who took notes during the whole of the proceedings , and who was to have been the lion of the day ( at least he seemed to tbink boi , then stood forward ta give a final reply to the Chartist arguments . He pulled out his gold-framed eye-glass , and looked as big as possible ; and after a few " hems , '

      commenced his speech . He reminded the meeting of the great services which he had rendered to the people . He had been the first to call a meeting in Birmingham for Reform , and be had never deviated from it Who was it that created the present division amongst them ? Feargus O'Connor had done so , when he first came among them ; but he had stood np against bis wild measures . ( The yells , groans , and hisses that followed this declaration were really astounding : the valiant George looked terrified , and he beseeched in a mast pitiful manner that he might be heard ; but the remainder of bis address could only be caught in detached portions by those who stood near him in tbe organ gallery . ) He had been before them foe twenty years , and no man had suffered more than him in the people ' s causa ( Groansand hisses ) He then read some statements from ihe Advertiser , in order to shew up the Tories , but it would not do . He then commenced an attack on the Chartist speakers , said that they were all young

      menand strangers . He could not think what could induce the men of Birmingham to place their confidence in such men , and to desert their best friends . ( Loud laughter . ) He asked ' Mr . Collins what sort of a government he wanted ? If they turned put the Whigs they were sure to have the Tories , and in the present state of society , they could not get a Chartist Government ( Hisses and groans . ) He was as much opposed to the Whigs as they were . Let no man think that he wished to support them—( bah , bah , )—because they wanted to get what they called the Charter , were they to forego the present benefit ? ( Renewed uproar . ) Would they be silent whilst he addressed them ? ( No , no . ) He then flew into a rage , and commenced a long tirade of abuse against Mr . Collins and the other Chartist speakers , amidst uproar and confusion . The Mayor interfered , and he was allowed to proceed under a promise of only speaking a few minutes . He then proceeded : Could they get the Charter from the Whigs ? No ! Could they get it from tbe Tories ? No !

      When the people were united they could get anything by moral means ; but hs would oppose a physical force party . ( Renewed hisses . ) He then attacked Feargos O'Connor for proposing a day on which the Charter should become law . Mr . White interposed , and told him it was cowardly and base to attack a man who was in prison , and could not bare an opportunity of defending himself . Mr . Edmonds endeavoured to gain a hearing , but it was no use , the meeting would not hear him . He looked the picture of despair , frothing and foaming like a man beside himuelf . He at length turned round and said he would take his leave of them , and hand them over to bis friends on the left He then sat down and was hissed most cordially by tbe immense assembly , which was estimated , at that time , to be twelve thousand , the hall and the galleries being crammed fnlL

      The CHAIRHA . K then arose , and stated that it now became his duty to take the sense of the meeting on th » resolution which bad been proposed , and as he waa rather hoarse , he would request the movers of botb resolutions to read them to the meeting , that they might dearly understand what they were voting for . . The Rev . T . M'Donkell then read a string of propositions approving of the measure contemplated by her Majesty ' s Ministers , and read a petition embodying the same . ¦ Mr . George White read bis amendment , after which

      The Mayor stood up and stated that , in order to come to a just decision , he hoped they would hold up both hands . He should put the resolutions in the following manner : —When he put the amendment he wobld say—Mr . White ' s amendment ; and when he put the original resolution he should say—Mr . Weston ' s resolution . Did they understand him ? ( Yes , yes . ) The most profound silence was kept , and the Mayor called on all those who approved of Mr . White ' s ^ amendment to hold up their bands ; an immense forest , comprising at least nine-tenths of the meeting , held up their hands , and gave a cheer that fairly shook the building . Tbe Chairman then put it to the contrary , when a very small portion of " Milk White" bands were held up . The Chairhan then declared the amendment of Mr . White to be carried with a considerable majority . This announcement was received by loud and enthusiastic cheers and waving of handkerchiefs from tbe ladies who crowded the side galleries .

      The ministerial gentry then requested tbe Mayor toput the question again , to which he consented , and oa the second dhow ot bands being taken it seemed larger in favour ot the Chartists than before . The Mayor then said that be had no hesitation is declaring the amendment carried by a very considerable majority . The announcement gave rise to deafening and enthusiastic cheers . The gentlemen on the right of the chair loefced on each other with dismay , and shook their beads in solemn silence . Mr . Douglas then stepped forward , and declared to the meeting , that he acknowledged they had been fairly beaten . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Arthur 6 'Neil then moved the ftllowlufr resolution , which had originally formed a part of Mr . White's amendment , but was reserved as a second ,, by the desire of the Chartists who were in th © gallery .

      Resolved— " That the same amount of public opinion calculated to Repeal the Com Laws , would sscure for the people the whole of their rights ; this meeting is , therefore , determined not to rest satisfied until tbe Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less , become the law of this realm , and the incarcerated and exiled Chartkts be restored to their homes . " The resolution was received with loud cheers . Mr . Collins seconded the resolution . The parties on the right of the chair insisted that it had no reference to the present meeting , and requested the Mayor not to put it The Mayor hoped the Chartists wonld not insist , as there was some doubt about it The ChartiBts , feeling that they hod already achieved a full and complete victory , and that no person could deny that their principles had been ackuowledged to the fullest extent , and also on account of the impartial manner in which the Mayor bod put the resolutions , consented not to press it

      A vote of thanks was then given to the Mayor for his impartial conduct , to which be replied th&t he would always endeavour to act impartially , aud give all parties fair play ; he at the same time informed them that he did not approve of the decision they had come to that day . Mr . White then proposed three cheers for the Charter , which were given in the first style ; three for Feargus O'Connor , Which was alao heartily responded to ; and three for the incarcerated Chartists . Three terrific groans were-then given for the Whigs , after which the numerous assembly departed . No less than twenty thousand people attended from the commencement to the conclusion .
