I feel it incumbent upon me to make you a « quamted with my caso ; though unwilling to put myself foirward , yet I conceive it a duty duo to society that my tostimony should be added to those which I " ¦'¦ perceive , you have inclosed wjth your medicine . My case was one of that numerous class which unfortunately are of too frequent occurrence in this variable olimate , namely , cold

      GREEKGCZL—On the . evening of Thursday , the 5 th instant , Fcargxts O'Connor , Esq . delivered a lecture on the ruinous state of . tha country , in the Mechanics ' HalL Mr . Bayle , ship carpenter , in the chair . Mx Boyle haying read the placard which announced the laeeUng , ictrodocsd Mr . 0 'Cozmo ? Trho commenced by remarking on the bad policy of charging three-pence for admission to ths lecnire , more especially at this time . One penny he said "was sufficient for any working person to pay for a CnarUsi lecture , and he hope * ? the committee of the Universal Suffrage Association -would xeraember taat , is future ; however , he was not ere cf those wao required the countenance of crowds , or the ticxiis of the nrait'tude , to cheer him onwards in the course he b&d hitherto pursued , and -was now pursuing He ¦ was satisfied that the conrae he had taken was the only one by -which the Charter could be obtained , and

      to that course he -would adhere till the Charter -was the law of the land . He -was now on his way hick te EDgiand , and ho had resolved to devcta his las : hour in Scotland to addressing ihs -working m ~ n of Grre-nodk . Ha had sat in the Scottish Convention as the representative of the birth-place of the immortal Wallace , and be ¦ was bound to say that no part of Scotland had been more ably represented in the Conve&tion than the to-wn cf Greenock . Had all the delegates who sat in the Convention , been possessed oC the honesty vrhich characterised the delegates from Greenock , be would have Lad a very different tile to tell of the Convention . It ¦ was the -want of hoDesty , as well as ths lack of union -trhich were ths causes of weakness in the Scottish Chartist ranks . He was sure freni what he had seen in the Convention thai the Whigiing Chartist leaders of Glasgow Laci gone oTfcr to the C ^ rn Law repeal era . Glasgow and its suburbs had Eent no less than seventeen dslerutes to

      tee Convention , -which coasistea of but iisiy-oce in all , ; and but for hiaissif and those who acted with him , he j beiievei it was the istiEtaon of the little Whiglings j to hav < 3 led the Chariiacs wholly over to the Corn ] Iav Itagutrs . Js -was these eune little TVhigiinss ] -who havt _ divided the people , also on the National j Petition , ¦ which was drawn up by the . English Bxtcn--j five . They could not tndure the idea of that petition ; containing three lines and < me ironi in favour of poor oppressed lrtiaui . Bat he -would tell the Chartist J Com Law leaguers of Glasgow that the whits slaves of j Ireland would be emancipated by the Charter , the self- J same hour that those of E&gUiid and Scotland vera j emardpated . la hLs cpinios , therefore , i ^ t oniy j should the repeal of the Union be enumerattd in the j petition , ira : every other grievance that could be named - by the people , collectively ana individually , should be j detailed in it . The indescribable misery which per- ' Traded the -whole empire , he said , -was clearly attri- j butable to c ^« w legislation . Some of the more inimecii- 1 ate causes of the stagnation of trade , and of starvation , I ¦ were detailed in the petition , and bow were these to be J removed till they were made plain and palpable to our heartless rulers ? And how "were tbey to be made i kfio"wn to them 001653 they be enumerstJd in the ' petition ? The discussion which -would take place on lie presentation of the petition -would be maee known i to all through the Whig and Tory journals , and by that ' means the Charter -would be carried , like every other > ¦ Qstiul reform , out of doors before it was carritd

      in doers . In the jaesntime , the people in ( their endeavours to csiry the Chaitar were left to tceir own lecourees , and frat for tee discord Basra amoncst them by deceitful le&dsrs , he had no doubt of their ultimate success . The j " Whiiiiag Glasgow leaders were frr giving up theirfortier mode of attending pub'dc meetings , and cf - moving the usual amendment ; bat we considered Unit discusiion was the mainspring of legislation-, a-cd a ' public meeting h the only opportunity tba : C :: irtists ; have of making their principles known . It is the Liw of the realm tiat every man hs * e right to attend every public meeting , aad stata bis opinions respfceting ihe objtcts of the meeting . And it wss -Kirn infinite ' pleasure that he v * ted for honest Mr . Boss ' s motion , ¦ which was carried in ihe Convention to that effect .

      The privileged class considered , the intelligence , monvi worth , and taieiits cf tie working peopia b = 2 ta : h their notice ; but , at innumerable pabi : c meetings they have already , and he hoped they ever would , iii ^ ke tbeiiiseive 3 and th = priadp ' ss cf the Charter invincible . The Com Liw repealers were now movirsg heaven and earth to divert tea million from the Ghsrier . They "were in the practice of evsn quoting s ; riptura to adorn their hollow sophisms .

      ¦ secure , satisfied , and happy after the enactment of tbe Pepple ' B Charter , than it -was possible for the nation to be Tinder the present system of things . This was ¦ what he asserted , and when the Charter was obtained , he might "well Bay this i 8 partly xny " work . Mr . O'Connor -was listened to vsith the utmost attention and respect throughout , and concluded amidst the hearty plaudits of all present The foregoing report if it be \ -worthy of the name has . "been "written mostly from memory , and the ideas rather than the exact expressions of Mr . O'Connor it has been our wish to preserve , and instead of the polished language of the gentleman and scholar , the words are those of an illiterate plebian . Mr . O'Connor , left the hall the instant the lecture vras concluded to take his passage for England , by one of the Liverpool ¦ - steamers . Our own delegates then at considerable

      length related-what had transpired in the late Convention , and how they had vated on the various topics brought before it , after -which a vote of thanks was moved to both which vras carried , though not unanimously . A few of Mr . Brewster ' a admirers -whs were present , demurred to the vote of tkanks , and assigned some rathtr odd notions for doin £ bo . When . the two parties however came to understand the apparent aiSerence , and the objections started by tbe minority , they were readily and fairly answered . Tha vote of thanks we may take it upon us to . say , "was passed all but unanimously . Before the meeting separated a future meeting was 5 pcktn of for the purpose of discussing the difference between the Corn Law Repealers and the Suffrage Extensionists . No Ssal arrangements however were entered into , so fat as we have heard , but vre think a discussion of the kind wonld do little harm

      were it conducted with the same good feeling , which characterised the short palaver which wound up the conclusion of Mr . 0 Connor's farewell lecture . —Correspondent . GLASGOW . —Continuation of the Scottish Convention . —Oa Tuesday night , the delegates having adjourned from the Church to tbe Session House , the discussion en the propriety of the Chartists attending public meetings was again renewed , which continued for a short time , when it "wa 3 moved and carried" That the delegates should suspend their proceedings , in order to afford an opportunity of hearing Mr . O'Connor's lecture for the benefit of the hand-loom

      weavers . Leci . uke . —3 Ir . Georee Allan , weaver , of Pollock-Bha-ws , was called to tbe chair , who introduced the lecturer to the audience , amid raptur us cheering , after which Mr . O'Connor proceeded , in a strain at feei ' mg eloquence , to depict the miserable condition and increasing destitution of the hand-loom weavers of thla country , took a view of the evils flowing from the present system of machinery , pointed oat the happy results that -would flow from a system being adopted of locating the industrious classes on the soil , &c ; he also administered some severe hita to the Whig-Chartists . His Ieetuie throughout was rapturously cheered , and the force , reasoning , and correctness of the position which he had tiken up -was admitted by all parties present . After a vote of thanks , -which was given with long-continued cheering , to the lecturer , the delegates again formed into Conventien , and renewed their discussion , when Mr . Lowery , of Lasswade , moved an Eiuen

      prin-| ' ' . ; ¦ ! cipies by amendments and discussions , if the lecturers , ' speaker ? , or chairmen of said meetings propsse any i resolutions , or mitions , where we , as a body of said I meeting , consider it necessary to oppose or move amendments thereon . ™ Mr . Kaukin seconded the mo-1 tion of'Mr . Pattison , with Mr . Lowery's additional amendment . After some further discussion , the delegates anjaumed to Wednesday morning , when the discussion was again renewed , and a considerable number of the delegates having spoken upon the snbj-ct , -when it appeared , irom the general opinions given , that it mattered not -what decision they came to , as the people ¦ would iiece ^ urijy judge fo r themselves what kind of meeting they should oppose , and howthey should use

Hr . Lowery then rose , and moved that , to prevent discussion anijng the Chartists , we recommend that ail those districts , tovrcs , or places , that have passed the National Petition for tie People ' s Charter , as drawn up by tbe Ens-isa Executive , to go on with the signing of ihe sari : e , but tha .:, ; n future , as the extraneous iutroduct on of matter in the petitions for the Charter has already ciiis ^ i di ^ usjion acd disunion , the people be pr .- > p-: r ! y cousuUid hereafter .

      iBSJAST .-The National ^ Petition has been adopted here , and the cause is progreaSrtng- The absolute necessity of the Chartiht * inirelarfd being incorporated with the Irish Universal Association was , at a recent meeting , taken seriously Into consideration , and believed to be the only means wkerebrcthe protection pf the law could be secured . Great tiifficnlty is experienced in this )» wii to procure a properand suitable p 2 ace-fn ~ which the'brethren could conveniently assemble . We are truly in the position of David of old '" hunted iika partridges on the mountains ; " but thougKwe are " oppressed , we are not overcome ; " and depending on the known justice of our cause , ' -we-axe still determtaed to persevere . The individuals who have espoused our causa here are most determined and indefatigable in their endeavours .

      and by every legal means possible will fuither the prosperity of the People ' s Charter . The great mass of the people here have so long been accustomed to conaider themselves bcund to stand as a " mighty bulwark " against the ' sweeping tide of popery , " as they Uiemeelves call it / which , they imagine , was ever ready on the slightest inlet of liberty to annihilate them from the face of Ulster ,. that th 6 y cannot easily be brought to consent to " a perfect equality of rights . " . So much have their minds been prejudiced both from the pulpit and the press , and themselves held the blind dupes and the bound slaves" of their imagined superiors , that they

      can hardly believer one who tells them they are even of the same species and destined by their great Creator to enjoy equal rights and privileges ; because hitherti an almost midnight darkness has clouded their political horison ; but now that the dnj-Slar of liberty has arisen—that tbe agitation of the People's Chatter has aroused the influence of our sister island on its behalf , we trust , erelong , to behold Ireland to her utmost extremity unit ' ng in this great struggle for equal rights and liberties to the people ; and then would out mott gracious sovereign embrace the People's Charter from tbe throDe , and the cabinet regelate its counsels in accordance with the mandates of the nation . .
