      BXANGHE 5 TEB . ( From our own Correspm 8 erit . J On Monday evening last , a pnblio meeting was « mvened in Carpenters' Hall , by the anti-Corn Law party , for the purpose , tss stated , of © onsidCTinsr the best mean * of repftalia * U » Com Laws- <> f obtaining compensation from A * ristoeraey , and to call a meeting of delegates fworKn * men from all parts of thakiwEdMttTto be held in Manchester < m-New Yeart D * y , to *> nn plan * to repeal the Gore Laws . Colonel Taonrpeon was announced to be present j whether this was * triok to raise tao wind we are not able t © say : however , he was not present , no * was any letter tf apology read . j Ob enterinf the hall , about eight o ' clock , we found the-body of tee halL the gallery , and the platform completely crammed . In the body of the hall was a most desperate struggle . One of the bladgeon-mea , it appeared , had struck a Chartist , when a fight ensued , the result of which was , that the bludgeonman got a sound thrashing . While this was going

      on , - we observed , about forty sticks , pokers , and bludgeons , of varans dimensions , brandishing over the people ' s heads ; yet seeing that the Chartists were too powerful , they desisted . w Prepare to meet jour God" Fuzigaa seized a brass candlestick off the table , * nd west down among the party , and ¦ when the bustle was over , he returned . to the platform . Mr . Witts , Social Missionary , addressed the audience on the impropriety of men coining for the purpose of using sticks instead of argument , and reasoned them into a degree of order . Mr . WATKiNs was called to the chair , and Messrs . Bailey and Hague , the one a Chartist and the other a Corn Law repealer , were appointed untpires to decide any dispute -which might arise . Mr . Wxs&ss was introduced to move the first resolution , in doing which , he occupied about twenty minutes . He advanced nothing but what has been laid beforeth « public a thousand times ; and as manv

      times refuted aad shown to the world to bo mere delusion sad humbug . He , forsooth , was as sincere a Chartist as any amongst them , but he saw no reason , kind soul , why his brother Chartists should not hive a large loaf first . He saw no reason why be should be deprived of his food , because he had no voice in sending mea to Parliament to make laws by which they were to be governed . ^ Mr . Fimqak was called upon to second the resolution . He rambled from one thing to another—wishing the people to go for that which would immediately and permanently benefit them—denounced the aristocracy and the Corn Laws for robbing the working classes , but he very sagaciously omitted to say anything of the robberies committed by the cotton lords . He next attacked O'Brien—exhorted the audience not to be led away by speakers , and sat down by seconding the resolution . The Chairman then read the addresses and resolutions , after which ,

      Mr . Leach came forward amid tremendous cheering . He was yerj glad that sncb silence and attention had been observed , while the gentlemen who bad preceded him were speaking . He then exploded every argument advanced by the Repealers , and repudiated the avowed object of these men , who were exporting their sympathy abroad and neglected © bjscts under their noses at home—of men travelling to Rossi * , Prussia , and the burning sands of Africa , to find people wbo wanted clothing , whilst thousands in their own country were walking the streets nearly naked , and proved , from statistical documents , that in proportion as trade had increased the wages of the workmen had decreased ; adverted to the conduet of the League at Stockport , in making such

      enormous reductions ; showed how machinery operated against the interest of the working classes ; and that whilst the Corn LawBhad taken £ 20 , 000 , 000 , the reduction in wages had been as much as £ 120 , 000 , 000 . He hoped the gentlemen of the press would notice that . ( Several voices cried out Northern Star . ) He said that fact had not been in the Star yet , bat it should be . ( Loud cheers . ) At a printing establishment in the town there were twenty-six men then doing as much by the aid of machinery as 530 could print with hand blocks twenty years *? o ; an improve&tent had been discovered which enabled them to print any number of colours by machinery , and one m&n and a boy were doing as much work as

      twenty men could do only nine months ago . The speaker brought a number of fact ? , figures , and dates to bear upon his position , which upset everything advanced fay his opponents , and concluded by asking the following question , and moving an amendment in favour of the Charter . Qaestion : How was it , if the Corn Laws would give an impetus to trade , and thus enhance wages , that from the year 1793 to 1815 , when there were no Corn Law ? , and when the English manufacturers had a supremacy of trade over the world , when they had cone to compete with them , the trade increased fivefold when there was no Corn Laws , aad yet wages came do vn in that period one half ! In retiring be was loudly cheered .

      Same confusion here took place betwixt the parties on the platform , A few of the Irishmen wanted to get at Mr . Rankin , who rose to second the amendment . Such was the confusion and uproar , that we could scarcely hear a word he said . Tae Irishmen were embittered against Rankin for moving a vote of censure upon the conduct of Daniel O Conucll , a short time since in Salford . Mr . Aclakd , the great gun of the league , being present , came forward at the request of the Chairman , to answer the question of Mr . Leach . But , he , instead of fairly and honestly answering the question , went into a long rambling Fpeech quite irrelevant to the point at issue ; and continued ,

      nottriihstaadhig the repeated cries of "question , " to Shufita , eqnivoe&tA , and shrink from it . The people were patient to a fault in thus being bumbugged . It was not until near eleven o ' clock , when-he had spoken upwards ef half an hour , that he could be prevailed upon , even bj his own party , to answer the question . This was a scheme of the Cora Law party to weary the people , aad get our party to leave , so that they might carry their resolution . When he did come to it , he put wordB iato Leach ' s mouth he never made use of , and then began to answer it in his own way . Mr . Leach rose and told him he was wrong , and he knew it himself .

      Mr . Aclasd then made another attempt , but put entirely a wrong constriction on the words . The meeting saw the evasive conduct of Acland , and pretty well told him of it . Mr . Leach then put the question a ^ ain . Aclaxd never attempted to touch the subject The meeting became impstieut , and repeated cries were made for the amendment ; a skirmish took place ; and after brandishing of sticks , and a deal of confusion , all was quiet again . Aclajcd went on a ^ ain un ' -il interrupted by cries of " limp , to go home , put the amendment . " At length the people were exasperated ; some times cheers were given for the Charter , followed bv shouts and Btamping by the Repealers . Acland all this time attempting to address the meeting , until not a word could be heard .

      At this tune , the Chairman cams stamping over our books , knocking down our ink bottles , &c . followed by several others . Daitey , one of the Corn Law Rspealers , began grumbling at our reporter for reporting Acland ' s speech . Fixigas , in order to excite his conntrymen against him , said he was the biggest liar that ever put pen to paper . The Reporter , in reply , called him a villain , for wishing his countrymen to break his , the reporter ' s

      head . During thi 3 time AcLiKD went on with hii shouting to the top of his voice . Fikigas then be > jan to abuse Leach , calling him . a rascal , &c . < fcc . In justice to Warren , we most say , thai , bad it not been for him , oar reporter would have had a most excellent chance of getting his cranium cracked- Thi 3 noise and eonfusion continued till near eleven o ' clock . The reporters all rose from their seats , and pat their books into their pockets , as though apprehensive of a row . Aa Irishman under the platform drew kis bludgeon from under his coat , and this was the signal for the onslaught . About forty or fifty bludgeons were shortly brandishing in the body of tbe Hall in a

      cluster . They then commenced playing away with their slicks on big , little , young , and old , hitting right and left , and cleared all before them . Here , then , were the Chartists unarmed against those coldblooded ferocious madmen . The Irishmen Vaving possession , many were runing out of the Hall , unt il some one rushed to the door , and prevented them going out . Whilst this dreadful and bloody work was going on , our reporter asked Warren , Daly , Acland and Yeald—( tbe latter was the man who took the Chartist hustings at the Stephenson ' s Square butchery)—whether it was not their party , to which Acland replied it was , and he denounced it . Yeald said he would never attend another meeting if that would be their conduct . Mr . Leach seemed very

      much put about at seeing-his fellow creatures so cruelly used , cried shame . Finnigau and Big Mike said it was our party . Mr . Leech said if they would go and seise any one of them , he would appear , and swear to them the next day . But they would not do that . The lying villains knew who had engaged the foolish men to do such dirty work . Every sensible man upon tbe platform cried shame . It was not till tbe Chartists had been attacked three times , that they offered any resistance ; but , finding their lives were at stake , they must fight , or be killed . A young clever na& , with a short round jacket , a

      mechanic , had received a blow at the commence ment of the meeting ; two Irishmen went to him again , for the purpose of beating him again . He met them both like a man , having nothing : but bis fists , knocked them both down , took their sticks from them , threw them over our heads on to the platform , and -then kicked them till they run head first into the crowd . Tbe Irishmen before bad triumphantl y brandished their Bhilej&hp , The Char-Ksi * then knocked down the forms , jumped upon the under part , broke off the bearers , and furnished themselves with strips of wood . They then closed in upon the bludgeon men , and separated them . A food staad-np fight then commenced , which lasted ,

      hard figMing , for about ten minutes , they took all the sticks of tbe Irishmen , and gave them a right good thrashing , drove all the blackguard portion entirely out of the room , and then with an enthusiastic and vociferous shout , gave hurrah for the Charter , " and requested the chairman to put the amendment . The Corn Ltw part ; seeing their party , the cowardly bludgeon men , completely rouUa , &nd the Cbutlste in possession of the room , although they said nothing while their party were masters , refused to put the amendment . Griffin then went to the front of the

      platform , and said , as the chairman did not seem disposed to put tbe amendment and motion , seeing be was likely to be out-voted , he wonld do it for him . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The amendment was thea put , and a forest of hands was held up in its favour , which nearly paralysed tbe Corn Law party , and was followed by long-continued cheering ; after which had subsided- and ailenco restored he put the motion , not & hand was held up for it in the body of the ball nor the gallery , and only about a dozen on the platform .

      Mr . Watts , social mustenaiy , then announcsd that the meeting was dissolved . Repeated cries were made , for Griffin and Leach to come borne . The Chartists then escorted their leader * out of the room . When we got oat , tbe hall .. was surrounded by polloemen . and we net two otfeer reinforcements on their way thither . As we were going home , Captain Sleigh and other officers , were walking about Tbe Chartist procession broke up at the end of Qairatt-road , with an understanding that every man who loved bis cause , should bVat the Town-Hall ou the following evening , Tuesday . Whilst tbe fighting was going on , a person came to the front of the platform , aud told our reporter that he had heard a man say lie would stick Finnigan ; our reporter conveyed that information to him , aad just as be , Griffin , was going into the Temperance Hotel , Finnigan came tip to him , aad thanked him foi bis conduct In telling him , and expressed himself glad that he had got off with bis life .

      Bifore closing this report we wish to be understood that we dont include amongst these rude men who go to meetings for the purpose of breaking people ' s heads , the intelligent Irishmen . Tbore were scores present -who were vexed to see their poor deluded countrymen made tools of for such purposes . The Repealers of the Union passed a resolution denouncing such , conduct , on Sunday . They are not members of tbe Repeal Association who act thus , they are men who would not give a penny for the salvation of their country ; all that such care about is a glass of whiskey and a stick . Bad as these men are , the men who set them on are worse . Had the Chartists kept away from the meeting' there would not have been more than 150 present , aud at any time of the meeting there were five to ene , nay ten to one in favour * f the amendment ; surely this ought to teach the Repealers a lesson . They expected to have made a great deal of this meeting , as all tbe satellites of the Whig press were present , and we should h&ve bad

      it blazed through the country in the name of the inhabitants of Manchester . They must know that it is impossible to carry any motion unless they either pack their meeting , call it in the day time , oi hire men to intimidate the people . The carrying a resolution in the open Ji&rket-plaee at Sfcockpoit in favour of liberty , and the meeting on Monday evening , ought to show them that they are dead beat They must have found th * i the Chartists can not only belt them in fair discussion , but when pressed they can fight a bit . The lads of Manchester wish not to fall out with any party , they lament that such disgraceful disturbances should take place , ytt those who call them cowards are lying Tlllaics , for they fought like men till they bad taken all the sticks and got possession of the room , and obtained order ; never attempted revenge , passtd their amendment , gave three cheers for O'Connor , the Star , the Charter , and Frost , Williaina , and Jones , and dispersed auietly .

      THE DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE WEST OF ENGLAND , && , TO THEIR POLITICAL BRETHREN . Oppbessed Fellow Countbtiie * , —Having been delegated to meet in Bath for the purpose of considering tbe best means of carrying out the recommendations made by the Executive , we beg to point jour particular attention to the resolutions agreed to iy us , after mature deliberation , and which appeared in the Northern Sitar of the 23 d instant We call for your co-operation to carry taese important resolutions into effect Bo you desire to obtain justice through the enactment of the Charter—aid us in thrusting that great measure of right upon the present corrupt legislature . We hichly approve the pians propounded

      by the Executive Council , because they are such aa appeal to reason rather than to passion , and are sure to enlist under our banner all who are truly patriotic , and willing to join in the ontvarJ movement of the industrious but suffering millions . On Jour exertions at the present moment everything depends—the Petition must be signed by four millions of persons , all wrriTed at years of discretion . It will' require a sacrifice on the pirt of those wbo are best prepared and most -willing to mcie it , to obtain this enormous number of signatures—bu ; it must ba done . The Convention mu .- > t bo BnppcrtrJ—backed up by the approving efforts of tbe millions—and the people must be taught to attach due importance to this great and intelligent assembly . If we desire to be emancipated from shT * -ry , there things must ba effected .

      This is the path by which we are to arrive at liberty ; if we are fiint-heartcd and irresolute , we shall be defeated , and never arrive at the glorious end . The task is eaay , the duty pleating , the cause jast , and the reward happlniss and prosperity . Are not tiese sufficient incentives to action ? la there an honest raan who "will not aid us ? Then , brethren , let us commence the work at once . Aid us ta procure lecturers for cur counties , whosa duty i t sha ll be to enlighten tbe minds of those who are ignorant of our principles ; let us disseminate kcowledga by the distribution of political tracts , and Chartist periodicals ; let us carry the National Petition from door to door , end in every public thoroughfare let sheets be lain for signatures ; begin to collect funds for the forthcoming Convention ; in tJuTi , do vovr » uti and victory is oars !

      Does any one ask what good can be derired from the proposed proceedings—we answer ' : Public opinion will be created in our favour—opinion which carries ¦ with it resvlulion and determination ; a revolution of mind and of principle will be effected ; the apathetic trill be aroused ; the ignorant instructed ; and the unjust terriSsd . Imagine for a moment tbe following : — In London , a Convention of forty hones * , intelligent , patriotic men , assembling daily , and , through the press , addressing the ¦ wholo population of the kingdom , by speeches eloqaent , argumentative , and persuasive : the masses , pressed down by dire necessity , eageily catching every sentence uttered by men they believe to be labouring to promote universal good . The public mind

      drai ? n to and attention rivetted upon , the presentation of the National Petition . Notice cf the presentation , and s motion upon it , gives to the Ho one of Commons . The day arrives—a hugu mass approaches St . ( Stephen's —a dense multitude accompanies it , and loud and reiterated are their cheers . The repeated peals of vociferous exaltation without strike the ears of the mock representatives of the people—a -whisper runs through " both sides" of the House ^— " the people are advancing to demand their rights ! " The unwidely mass has arrived at the portals of " the Boose . " Borne on the shoulders of thirty or forty sturdy men , is an immense roll of paper , bsided with large hoops of iron—it cannot enter—the doors are opened wide—but not wide enough for its admission—Ike hoops areucbanded—the petition unrolled , aad miles of paper , representing

      millions of people ; are gradually dragged into the House , amidst the joy of the people—the cheers of their friend *—and the consternation of their enemies . Silence restored , the petition is read—with its maay > toagued truths—sload in <• tbe House . ' , The number of petitioners is declared to be four millions . The honest , though small section of " the House , " have rallied to support the people's demands . Eloquent appeals are made ^—but the strongest argument will be the huge petition on the floor . The dishonest , and tbe knavish , will have detested their seats—tbe scene will have overpowered them—and tha battle vrfll be foaght by a fourth part of the legislative assembly . A motion , in favour of the People ' s Charter is made—fear wUl have done its work . And thsugh , perhaps , the People's Charter may coV at . that moment become tbe lav , ixs justice will be admitted by the division qks ih *

      FROM OUR SECOND EDITION OF LAST ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦;¦•¦ . week . ¦ ¦ ;;; . ¦ . ¦; ' GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OP THE CHARTISTS . . - ¦ ,. . ' . f .. . ' '' - . ' ¦ ' ¦ : ' , ' / / . . ' ¦ ' PUBLIC MEETINGr CALLED BY THE LEEDS PARLIAMENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening , a public mttitwf r , called by tbe Leeds Reform Association . XoRati the Fox and Goose Club ) , was held in the large room of the Commercial BuildingSjOstensiblv to promote a union all-classes of Reformers—really to gull the Chartists , if possible , by getting their assistance in passing anti-Corn Law resolutions . The "lads , " however , wore too far north , and though no effort was made to get them together , they assembled in full force , upset the Antis , " and passed a resolution in favour of the whole Charter . Many high Bounding names were put forth by the

      promoters of the meeting , and amongst tho rest Col . Thompson , Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P ., a Mr . C . J . Symona , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . But all would not do . " Othello ' s occupation ' s gone !" The room was crowded to excess . Mr . James Garth Maeshall , the President of the Association , was called to the chair . The Chairman said the meeting had been convened by the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association for the purpose of affording an opportunity to a few friends of the principles of free trade , and of the extension of the suffrage , of addressing them on some important points , with respect to the best means of forwarding the principles of Reform . The object , he believed , was to lay before the meeting a statement

      of the real position of the people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrying into effect measures of Reform , and particularly to draw attention to the necessity for a cordial union of all classes of reformats . After some other explanatory observations ; he said he would not detain them longer than to make an apology for Mr . Roebuck , who was prevented by indisposition from attending . ( CrieB of" He dare not come f '*» he ' s a traitor ; " why did he runaway on Sharman Crawford ' s motion 1 " ) Col . THOMrsoN having been called upon by the Chairman , then rose to address the meeting , and was received with oheerB . He said as they had placed him in front he would briefly state his opinions . He suspected that there was not one man

      iu ten in that meeting who did not agree in the proposition , that the defects in the representation of the people were the sources of the evils under whioh the country was suffering . He did not mean that they were tho cause of men slipping down in the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable evils . He then went to show what constituted a Government , which he contended ought to rest solely on the representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , ana not merely for the happiness of a select few . All olasscs were called upon to support the Government , and to obey the laws of the country ; alt classes , therefore , ought to have an equal power in the making of the laws . Asa protection in the exercise of this

      power , the poor man ought to have the Ballot , that he might exercise his power in an independent manner . The aristocracy , in all their transactions , were caroful for themselves , but when the people asked for the same protection , it was denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merchant and manufacturer had , and ought to have , considerable influence over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bulk of the people should have none at all . It was like a joint stock company ; different members might have different proportions of shares in it , but he thought no one ever heard of a joint stock company where the shares of some of the company were

      nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought all would agree that the representation wanted amending , and he advised them not to think it was a hopeless business , which it might be , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who * saw the necessity of a change , and ho exhorted them not to refuse the assistance of such men , but to go on with those who would go on with them . One result of defective representation was the restriction upon industry , which amounted to tbe demand of a greater amount of the time and labour of the operative for a given quantity of food , to thosa who had that food at their disposal . He stood there the advocate for improvement in the representation . ( Loud

      cheers . ) He knew no man who had gone further than he had done . ( Continued cheers ) There was a document called the Chatter , which he believed to be nothing but a fair embodiment of those principles of justice for which great aud good men in these latter times had fought and comes ted . ( Prolonged cheering ) it contained , he believed , fire points , which were agreed on before the document was drawn up . It was his good fortune to be one of eight or ten members of Parliament concerned in drawing up that document . ( Cheers . ) He had never denied it—he had never shrunk from is—ho had never disavowed tho name , and never been afraid to bo called a Chartist . ( Hear , hear , and cries of " Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) But there was a

      difference of opinion concerning the way iu which that Charter should be advocated . They were told there was only one Charter , only one Chartism , and only one Way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of " That's true . ") He did not think that those who held that opinion would be able to prevent a large body of men from taking another way with respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to gain the Charter was by uniting on those great and pressing evils with the numbers of powerful mea who were willing to go with them . ( Hear . ) He did not ask any man or body of men to give up their own objects . What he wanted to eubmit to that meeting was , whether it would not be best on the whole , admitting differences of opinion , but not quarrelling about them , ( o let each go his own way , if he could , and welcome . ( Hear , hear . ) Why should not one party say to another , if you can put down or make an

      impression on the evil , in God ' s name go on . If we can put down or mako an impression on the evil , in God ' s name do not hinder us . ( Cheers . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the proposal which he came to make . He left it for them to consider whether there was not something like rational sense and good reason in it , and whether there were not many of them who would not be inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommeudod . ( Tho Colonel eat down with applause . ) Mr . Hamer Stansfeld , in moving the first resolution , said he would not detain them long ; hie health would not permit him to address them . He hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , ia promoting that union whioh was so desirable . The resolution was— " That this meeting views the defective state of the representation as th « source of the suffering under which the country labours . "

      Mr . John Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Jellinger Symokds supported the resolution . He believed there was no safety in this country , nor any chance oi' restoring tho national prosperity , without the people wtre invested with a fall and fair eharo in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) The landowners had returned the present House of Commons , and so long as they were permitted to have a monopoly in the legislation , so long would the interests of tho people be sacrificed to the cupidity of a wealthy and selfish aristocracy . If , however , the working classes expected to have their grievances redressed , they tnu 3 t be united among themselves . Union was strength—division was weakness . He

      had lately visited Switzerland , where the representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was in full operation , and at the same time , there was the most cofdial union between masters and men . This state of thing 3 wa 3 productive of the greatest possible benefit to the country , aud he did not believe there was a more prosperous people to be found than those of Switzerland , where , it should be borne in mind , Universal Suffrage was the law of the land . ( Loud cheers . ) The speaker , after thus paving the way , went to the question of the Corn Law ? , making ic evident that he had received a retaining fee 6 a that point . He was of opinion that machinery did not injure the working man ; he get , however , some pretty intelligible hints

      that working men did not agree with him . The Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting , and it was carried with one dissentient . Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows : — " That tho confiscation of the property of the industrious classes , inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is the most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , and various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuistical nature of the proceedings , and it was at once determined that , as the League had thus attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in

      resolution 1 , the meeting would endeavour to bring them back to the real question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He contended that the Corn Laws were really one of the greatest " practical" grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called hs ' msolf Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by tbe Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was the results of the Corn Laws , the landlords secured to themselves-the monopoly of law-making , Mr . Nicholas , sq operative , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Goose Club , ) seconded the resolution . -

      Mr . Joseph Lees replied to the " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised he had not exhibited more practice in bk resolution . The first

      Untitled Article

      resolution admitted thai the source of all the evils of the country was in defective representation , and had Dr . Smiles been , a practical man , as he professed to be , ho would have at once , after the source had been admitted , b » ve com © boldly out with the remedy . ( Cheers . ) It waa of no use endeavouring to lop off only a defective branch ; they must go at onoe to the root , as the only practical means of remedy . He was a Chartist root and branch—( shouts of ** B » Yo < tad ; go on , " )—and thongh he had not hitherto pnhlielj advocated the Chartery yet his opinions were so well known as not to be misunderstood : ( Great cheers . ) They had eeeu tbe Corn Law agitation commenced two years ago , and commmenoed just at the time when the Charter was

      about to take its winning and widening way in the country . ( Load cheers . ) There were very great suspicions at the time whether the Corn Law agitation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise . ( Loud cries of * No , no , " from the Foxes . ) Now , after tiro years of agitation , where were they t If they had supported tbe Charter for that time , would Peel have dared to dismiss the Parliament for fire months . ( Shout ? of "No , no , " and load cheers . ) With such a Pinion of agitation they might have had anarmythar neither Whigs nor Tories could have stood against . ( Traneflcfous cheering . ) That

      meeting ought to consider in what way they could best obtain their rights . They had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found it would not answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not come to the Chartists , because . they would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick at , they should say , at once , this association will go the whole length as a Chartist Association . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He concluded by moving " That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Charter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , « nd threw the whole "League " nearly into convulsions . )

      Mr . Andrew Gardner was received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motioa , said he thought the storm haa now commenced , but , whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoped every man would be allowed a fair hearing . This was the second act of the Marshall ' s mill meeting ; that was got up to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought be could wheedle the Chartists well ; with only tiro exceptions , every speaker then present avowed themselves' for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to unite the middle and lower classes . ( Hear , hew . ) Had the Household Suffrage succeeded ? ( Shouts of " No . no . "V

      -Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back ! Why did not their Association come out at once for the whole Charter ! Why should not they all unite on an equality of rights ! ( Great cheering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but dented the praticabilUy ot getting it . ( Cries of We can get it . " ) He said it was possible to gei if , but they would get nothing less than the Charter , because the Chartists would not agitate for any mortal thing less than the Charter . ( . Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the best man amongst the middle classes , and he believed no one had been worse treated by the Whig party than Colonel Thompson had been . He had avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he would abide by it . ( Hear ,

      hear , and cheers . ) There was one gentleman who should have been there , who was not there . Where was Mr . Roebuck 1 ( Cheers , uproar , and cries of M He dare not come ! " ) He was a Universal Suffrage man , aud he had acted a very treasonable part against the people . He thought he was afraid to come , something like another of their friends , he meant Dan . ( Loud shouts of " No , no . " ) He ought to make a tour through the country , and submit nis conduct to a vote of censure or of thanks in every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither Whigs nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . ) If the Reform Association were sincere in their object of union , let them lay down a good basis of union on which the Chartists could stand as well as themselves . ( Great cheering , and cries of "No Surrender . ") He begged leave to second the

      amendment . ( Tremendous cheers , which lasted for some time . ) Previous to patting the resolution , the Chairman said , as Mr . Curtis , from the United States , was f resent , he thought they had better perhaps hear im . Mr . Curtis , who , we understand is from Ohio , thea stood forward aud made a long speech , which had scarcely a reportablo point in it . It is not known where the League have got hold of him . We " calculate" he wants to travel at an easy rate to himself through England , and has found the League sufficiently gullible to pay his expencea . He came oat , at the close of his address , with an exhortation to temperance . Mr . Westlake ( a Chartist / was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis .

      Mr . R . F . Lees said , they were met there that night , not to speak as to particular grievances , bat to ask on what principles they were to unite in order to get all their wrongs redressed . ( Loud cheers ) What said Col . Thompson * He eaid that , because the manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of tho aristocracy , were suffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object ot resolution second ! To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he would ask , when those laws were destroyed , did not the interest of the manufacturing aristocrats cease to be identified with their interests ! ( Loud cheers . ) Then he Would ask them , calmly , and Ferioualy , what pledge had they , when tho Corn .

      Laws were destroyed aad the pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objects ! ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen t and he was afraid that Echo would answer , Where ! ( Laughter . ) That was a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and they Severed the principle of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked thorn to give their voices , and declare in Court and Parliament that the great practical grievance was the Corn Laws . Thoir reply was , Give us our rights , our votes , and we will destroy that and every other grievance . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) If

      they were rational enough to giye their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repeated cheers . ) Though they might assist them to destroy the Cora Laws in two ot three years , when that was done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Curtis said tho instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Corn Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when the greatest of practical grievances was perpetrated without it ! He was a thoroughgoing Radical , a Chartist , if they liked the name . He was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Christ , and ho maintained that the practical axiom of all

      life was " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud cheers . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from tho powerful aristocracy of tho country , a repeal of the Corn Laws , which raised the rents , which supplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Mr . Thos Plint rose under greatly excited feelings ,, and first endeavoured to bully , then to coax the meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst great interruption , and made a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chairman then pat the amendment and tbe original resolution to the meeting , when there was a tremendous majority in favour of the amendment .

      Tms , however , did not satisfy the "League , " and a . proposition was made that the two parties should divide themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room to the right of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This waa _ acceded to after some demur , and the two parties havin g taken their respective positions , the number in favour of the amendment appeared to be more than four to one as compared with those in favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Chairman , however , when . he had got the meeting divided , flj ? a . m WflTlf , trMVYiiorYl f . VtA onromAnv e %£ fatin » <* ck /\ w

This announcement was received with tremendous cheering , clapping of bands , &c , which lasted f or some minutes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . " Dr . Smiles then moved , and "Mr . Andrew Gakdenkr seconded , a vote of thanks to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been riven for O'Connor , for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o ' clock .
