      BINGIiEY . —SYMPTOMS OF UNION BETWEEN the Middle anp Woukixg Classes . —( Recei'oed too late for our last . )—It being announced that Mr . O Connor would visit Blngley on Wednesday last , a strong de&ire to see and hear their undaunted champion induced many of tbe factory workers to apply to tbo raillownera , requesting them to stop their mills for the afternoon . This , with one or two Whig exceptions , was kindly granted . But on the morning of Mr . O'Connor ' s arrival , the pious and liberal owners of one large manufactory , posted up -written notices within

      their mills to tfce following effect : — " That any weaver , overlooker , or other workman , absenting themselves after the UEual time , or leaving the mill to see Mr . O'Connor , -would be instantly discharged ; adding , that if ' Feargus * conid provide better for them , then they / the work people ; were at liberty to go with him . " Such is the well known tyranny of these free-trading gentry , that the hands dared not to disobey this order . when Mr . O'Connor arriTed , however , an attempt was iha ^ e by some of tbe females to force an egress , but in this they were disappointed , as their kind masters had considerately taken the precaution to lock the doors , and keep them in . Mr . O'Connor , however , did not fail , in the course of his address , to give them a ¦ wellmerited castigation . After the address , tbo procession proceeded p ^ st the factory prisons , when a glorious sicht presented itself : the whole of the ircn-grated winfiows of the factories being crowded with young women , peering through the gates ; and , in defiirce cf the tyrants , cheering on the procession . It should also be stated that about the time of Mr . O'Connor ' s entering the town , through some accident to the machinery , the mill was obliged to ba stopped for a considerable time , upon which some of the hands applied for parmission to go out , but were told that if the mill should never run again , yet they should not go ti ' . l the usual time of stopping . Englishmen ! this is liberty ! Your wives and daughters sto to be placed at the disposal of such men as th-se , to be locked up , and kept as prisoners . ' This is middle class , cheap-loaf sympathy ! These are the men who , at the last election , forced out

      their hands tj go in procession , ( decked in yellow , and carrying the big loaf , ! to meet tha Whig candidates These are they who , on seeing their party defeated at the election , purchased a number of tracts , advocating Complete Suffrage , which they distributed through the mills , declaring that the Suffrage was the only thi > g which could get them a Repeal of the Bread Tax These are a glorious specimen of those kind friends to liberty , who have been soliciting us to unite with them . But what say yon , working men ? Shall we sgiin rtsign ourselves into the hands ef these tyrants , to be locked within their iufernal , murderous rattleboxes , when they shall think fit ? Shall we assist

      them to extend a system like this ? Assist them to build more of theso living tombs—assist them to add yet another link to our chain ? Shall we unite with them a § 3 in for this ? Never , Brother Chartists , let us ha again led astray ; but letU 3 trust to our own orderlet us not forsake one iota of our principles for the sake of gaining the assistance (? i of such tyrants as ' these . L * t us leave them to the tender mercies of the Income Tax , and the system which themselves have created ; tvnd let us . ttttl persevere in the straight and consistent road of principle ; and ultimately we shall bring the day when , in the language of the poet , we shall be enabled to

Robert Hyde Buckley , Esq ., manufacturer , was unanimously appointed chairman ; one of the moat impartial men we ever saw . Mr . FalTey lectured about one hour and a quarter , in the coarse of which he showed that he was an able and eloquent man , and one that was capable of appealing to the passions of bis audience with success , but however it was no go , the Chartists were not to be deluded . Mr . Dayle got up to reply , and was received with applause that made tho League nun look rather pale , showing them that more than threefourths of the meeting were Chartists . Mr . Doyle was allowed three quarters of an hour in reply , in the

      course of which he was repeatedly cheered . Air . Falvey had another three quarters of an hour , making altogether about two hours , which was a great advantage over Mr . Doyle , who had only three quarters of an hour to go into so important and extensive a subject The eloquence of Mr . Falvey in his last speech , and Mr . Dayie having stated that he doubted whether he should bo able to come the next evening , raised the spirits of the League , and they seemed rather triumphant In the course of the nextilay several of the league offered to lay a wager that Mr . Doyle durst not come in the evening ; but , to their mottiflcation , Mr . Doyle came again . R . H . Buckley , Esq ., was appointed chairman again , and after Mr . Doyle had bad some discussion with Mr . Falvey and the League , it was agreed

      tbat Mr . Falvey should have an hour for his lecture , and Mr . Doyle an hour in reply , and that each sheuld have ft quarter of an bonr afterwards , which tboy occupied to the best of their abilities , by keeping to the subject , and without making personal attacks upon each other , while the meeting retained a general good feeling ; there were no manifestations of hostility , no squabbles or uproars , but all passed off in the best possible manner , except when Mr . Joseph Hall , a Chartist , got np to move the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Corn Laws arc obnoxious ; but are only one of the many complicated and grievous evils the population of the British Empire justly complain of , and we are of opinion that even-handed justice never will be dealt

      out equally to the king and the beggar , till that went of all monopolies Is destroyed—the monapoly of the suffrage . We therefore p ' edge ourselves never to cease our exertions till the People ' s Charter becomes the law » f the land . " This , however , did not suit the palates of the League , and they opposed it in the best manner they could ; but it was seconded , and the ' -chairman , like an impartial man , put it to tbe meeting , when nearly all the hands in the room / were held up ; but when it was put to the contrary , the League declared that they did not vote ; a very good reason why , but for that they would not have had forty hands held up against it A vote of thaDks was proposed to the chairman , for his impartial conduct in the chair , which was carried by acclamation , and the meeting separated highly delighted .

      tEICBSTERSHIRE . —The Chartists of North and South Leicestershire held a central camp meeting , last Sunday , at the picturesque village of Mountsorrel . The site of the meeting was a most delightful one . A ledge of rock , about thirty feet above tha grass , formed a natural platform for the speakers ( Messrs . Cooper and Beedham , of Leictster , Skevington and Jarratt , of Loughborough , and Pepper , of Normanton ) , while masses of porphyritic granite , older than the Alps , stretching sixty or seventy feet upwards , were filled with human beings , who thus formed a natural gallery for listeniug to the great truths of democracy and Christianity , and with the thousands covering the greensward formed an assemblage of an uncommon character . From five to seven thousand auditors were thus collected ,

      and transfixed with earnest attention around the advocates of Chartism . At different intervals , during thu day , a delegate meeting held its sittings , and canvassed the desirableness of forming the whole county into one active organised body . The following resolutions were passed at one ef the earlier sittings : — " That , for the great purpose of organising Chartist localities throughout Leicestershire , we , tbe delegates of a provisional meeting composed of deputies from North and South Leicestershire , do hereby recommend toafc tbe two divisloni of the ahire be united , and form one county chartist union . " "That Mensrs . Cooper , Skevington , and Crow be a committee for preparing a plan of organisation , or a body of rules or regulations , for governing the said County Chartist Union . " " That to receive such

      plan , or body of rales , and for the transaction of such other necessary business as may arise , a delegate meeting of the whole county be assembled at Mr . Cooper ' s room , in Leicester , this day fortnight , that is , on Sunday , the 24 th instant , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon . " At a sitting held at a later period , the general state of English Chartism formed the topic of conversation , and the following resolutions were passed : — " That the National Delegate Meeting , proposed by the Hunt Monument Committee to be bolden on the 17 th of August next , appears to this meeting to be imperatively necessary for the settlement of disputes , for a re-consideration of the plan of organization , and above all , for the adoption of some more vigorous plans for extending our principle than those which the Executive

      have hitherto acted upon . " Tbat the Executive be made acquainted with the conviction of this meeting respecting the necessity of calling the said National Delegate Meeting ; and also that our brethren , in all the localities of the National Charter Association , be urgently it quested to co-operate with us in pressing upon the Executive the necessity of summoning the said National Delegate Meeting , ta be held in Manchester , on tbe J 7 th of August next" "That the foregoing resolutions be sent for insertion in the Star . " At the afternoon and evening meetings ,. on the rocks , £ 1 was collected for Mason's fund , and was forwarded by Mr .

      Cooper to Mr . George White , of Birmingham , the next day , —Mr . Cooper addressed an open-air meeting at Loughborough ; and Mr . Beedham and a party of Leicester friends joined the Chartist tea-party at Thurmaston , on Monday night . On Tuesday night , Mr .
