      We -doubt not that had the wretched fragment of iaJkgriij aiSedgelej , broken the neck of Mtsos when lilting him off Ms portable rostrum , he would " barebeea-held blameles , and we should have been jold thai he was properly discharging his dnty . Kay , he would , no doubt , hare received ihe thanks of Her ^ kjesiy ' s Government . Bat the lambs have petitioned the wolTes again ; and again bate they found the nature of the devouring beasts unch anged . Their hearts are as imper-. Tiouatothec » llof justice as ever . They can only speak , aet , and feel for their own interests , and those -of their own order . Thl 3 is an oft-proven fact ; one of every day notoriety ; bo much so that we 2 > eg iQ to think it time that the puerile game of

      petitioning was abandoned , and a more manly and iecoimng stand , taken , by the people . It is time to attend more closely to our own business , and not waste shot on carrion ; the more especially seeing that the sinews of war" are wanted in other quarters . We really think that the money and labour expended in petitioning ought to be appropriated to the better purpose of uniting and crjjamsiBg ear forces « ad preparing for the great « iay" when the citadel of corruption , sow tottering , shall irrecoverably fall . Fall it must , ere long ; for its defenders are Jiastening its downfall more rapidly than its assailants ; they are in reality thair own sextons , and are labouring with a forty-devils ' power to complete their graves—from which may ihev have jBe-resnrrection !

      It may appear strange to eome , yet it is neveriheless trus that the present administration aie among the best friends of the Chartists . Thej have taken off the odium from us by ^ performing the part they represented as being our forte . They -are destructives in the strictest sense of the term—Jhysical-foroemento the back bone-eomplete—well : | utored disciples of Nsd Ltjdd ! They are now breaking . up the whole machinery of despotism . lEheir ways will inevitably lead to their own destruction . In fact , the whole thing is out of order and most go to pieces . Oar troops have only to keep their fingers off the trigger till absolute necessity give the command , which she aerer will hare cause to do if the people are wide awake .

      : Mr . Dcscosres has done his duty , and merits his country ' s meed of praise ,- bat he caa only do his part . He has striven in vain to aid the victims , it is now our duty to see that they and their families lave our help . The -Ajtobjcex- Gkxkrat . said that When the conduct of a constable , however rash , had been justified by a yerdict of a jury , the House was not warranted in interfering . " Taking the whole system into consideration , we think the same . If Nevison act rashly , and Tespin approve of his conduct , what right has Tom Kjsg to interfere ! Non « whatever . Tan-tar a rara " rogue 3 alL "

      THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION , AND THE NECESSITY OF ITS BEING CAEEFULLY ENFORCED AND ATTENDED TO . The doctrine laid down by Graham and upheld by P £ el , in the matter of Dcscombs ' s motion in " reference to Masos and his fellow prisoner ? , is one that leaves no room for doubt . It is naked , nn--disguised Toryism , of the highest water ; and there can be no doubt that it is intended as an intimation of the purpose of the Government to "follow suite . " It behoves us , therefore , to be careful , while we avoid all cringing beneath the brutal force of fact tion , to avoid at the same time all unnecessary collision with the law . The next move of the wretehes may be an attempt to break up < mr organization on the pretence of its being illegal . Let us at least not pnt weapons into their hands by making it so . The organization itself nay bid defiance to all the casuistry of Tory or "Whig lawyers , if it be adhered to , and if the law , all infamous as it is ,- be honestly administered ; if the oppressors are determined to disregard l-aw as well S 3 justice—and to stretch their power beyond

      ihe limits even of the Corresponding Society's Act , we must then meet the ruthless aggression as best we may ; but let us give them no excuse for foeaking in apoo us . W » have an excellent , an effective , and a perfectlylegal , National Organization i let It be universally abided by . We are sorry to observe that , for a long time back , it has not been generally-adhered to . So far from it ; it seems to ns-as if almost the whole of those whose duty it was saosi carefully to Bee to the enforcement of it 3 provisions , had forgotten that any sueb . prorisions were

      Hrexmenee . ^" o prevent the mischief which might result from tins negligence , we Ehall give a series of articles , week by week , calling the attention of the people generally to those provisions , and to the most proper and jadkious modes of carrying them ont . We are fully satisfied that , until human nature shall have become semething different from itself , the people ' s business—in their own association , no more

      than in the the national arrangements of the statewill never be attended to as It . ought to be , tor their ben * Sr , without their own active surveillance . If too much reliance be placed on officers , councillors , and leaders , the people will assuredly find that a great mistake has been committed . In the first place , we must repeat our oft reiterated warning about the alleged " meetings of the National Charter Association , " in this , that , or the other place .

      The people must not forget , that the cursed Corresponding Act , makes liable to transportation every member of any society whose members meet and act in separate detachments . They must remember , therefore , that when a nnmber of Chartists readent in . Bradford , meet together , it is not a meeting of the National Charter Association j nor is it a meeting of members of the National Charter Association , Z 3 such , though ttere may not be any person present who is not a member of the National Charter Association 5 ( that matters not 5 a number of persons might meet together , all of whom were Methodists , and yet not meet as

      Methodia-s , but aa members of a Money Club , or In any other character , nor would the fact of ikeir beiag all Methodists at all constitute the meeting a Methodist meeting j ) they meet simply as Chartists , and whatever they do is their own act , a 3 individual Chartists , and not the act of the National Charter Association . The National Charter Association , appeara only in the persons of its ofieers and members , acting in universal concert TM 3 is the most important thing of all , for it is the very thing on which the vaunted illegality of the old plan hinged , and which , therefore , th& peoplo must note specially .

      AH locil mftetiii 5 Bars , We again repeat , meetings of Qiaifets , bat not of the National Charter Association ; if this distinction be attended to the meshes of the law will be avoided ; if not , they will surely be run into . Now , we have told the people and the officers of the society this , again and again ; we have repeatedly warned and cautioned tub-Secretaries that we shall try to bear in mind the provisions of the law upon file subject , whether others do or not ; and that it is to no nse Bending ns reports , headed , National

      Charter Association , " at such a place , or telling us * hat the" * General Council" of such a place , met at such a time and did so and so ; tor that no meetings « f the National Charter Association , or of its General Council are ever Golden j and yet we are every week pestered with commum-*** wns thua worded—causing ns an immense Kasuai of seedless trouble , and proving that the f * J * i » Jrom whom : they come pay no attention to this first aad most important part of the organization .

      / Tbiee things W 2 uch may be so very easily jroi dea , onght to be avoided , and must be avoided 55 te people must see that no men are elected to offioe tmt Bnch as will attend to them . The people had tte expenee--and no small expence . either—of a Jfotional Delegate Meeting for the very purpose of aakiBg the organization legal ; andit will not do to «* 2 er it to be , after all , sacrificed to the in-. competence , izattention , or stupidity of its own officers , V H « f we * we siaH Bhow the distinct hearing of « eJ * ir n $ > on the National Charter Association as an | bbm body , and upon the different and distinct oodles of Chartists acting and meeting together in the several localities . _ * - »

      THE NATIONAL CONFERENCES . We have again to direct attention to the official document of the Executive , published on the 16 th inst ., in which they say that « t their meeting in Manchester , on the 4 th inst ., "it was resolved to summon three great conferences . Each conference to consist of delegates from each locality , the number of delegates to be regsl&ted according to the resource of the localities , and each delegate to be a member of the General Council . The First Conference to be summoned to meet in Manchester on the 16 th day of August . The Second Conference to meet in London on the presentation of the

      National Memorial to the Queen . The third to meet in Birmingham . " And in reference to which we then said : —With respect to the " three great Conferences " proposed to be called by the Executive , we really think that in the present depressed state of the country the people onght to have more information as to the necessity for these Conferences than we have yet seen , before they are put to so tremendous ah expence . It is a very easy thing to talk of summoning National Conferences ; but the poor people , who have ihe money to find , and upon whom there are just now so many , many drags ,. ought to be well

      satisfied of the absolute necessity for them before they agree to them . Our own opinion is , that there is no necessity at all for these Conferences ; at least , wejhave not yet seen any . If the plan of the National Charter Association be duly acted on , the Executive can obtain the opinions of all its members upon any subject much more effeetaally by proposing the subject to their consideration , and requesting a general vote upon it , than by the much more expensive , and much less general expression of opinion , which might be obtained from a National Delegate meeting : because in the former

      case all could vote , and consequently all opmioas would ba expressed ; whereas in the latter case , very many localities being prevented , by distance and expence , from sending delegates , would be utterly unrepresented . We trust , therefore , that if the necessity for these three conferences be apparent to the Executive , they will make it apparent to the people before calling them , and that if by any means the expense can be avoided it maybe j that so the people may be all the better prepared to nphold the

      hands of the Executive with fuuda for lecturing publishing , and other absolutely necessary purposes ] We cordially reciprocate their opinion , that the strength of the Executive lies in the command cf funds , and their weakness consists in not being supported J' We trust to see them mucb . better supported in this way than they have ever yet been ; aad for that reason we are very anxious that tke resources of the people should not be subjected to needless drains .

      We are yet of the same opinion . And we have not heaTd that the Executive have given any more sufficient reasons to the people for the calling of these conferences , than was given in the document referred to . We now call j attention to the subjeot ; that , if the people do call these conferences , it may be done rightly and legally , giving no handle for the enemy to lay hold of . The 16 th of August draws near ; and the people if they mean to have a " National " Conference , should begin to prepare . In the

      first place every delegate sent to this " Conference " must be elected at a public meeting . Not a public meeting of the Chartist Association , but an open public meeting—a public meeting of the inhabitants of the place , called for the purpose . . Thi 3 must be particularly attended to . Any man going there merely as a delegate from any particular Chartist body would render the whole proceedings illegal , and every member of the Conference liable to imprisonment . If , therefore ^ the Conference is to be holden , every place sending a delegate must call a public meeting for his election .

      We perceive that the Executive require that every delegate shall be & member of the General Council . We should like to know what reason they have for this requirement . It is quite clear to as that there is nothing in the plan of organization" to warrant it ; and it is surely in the very teeth of democratic principle . We advise the people to elect , if they elect anybody , such men as they have confidence in , whether Members of the General Council or not ; at all events unless the Executive show some reason why the delegates should be Members of the General Council . Individually , our opinion is , that these Conferences had far better be postponed , at least until the result of the explanations of the Executive in answer to the Leicestershire delegates be known and settled .

      Mb . Allcock writes to urgs on Chartists generally the necessity of upholding Cleave r s Chartist Circular . He says . — "It must be in the recollection of the readers of the Star that ow friend , Feargus O'Connor , promised to write for the Circular . and recommended , in order to keep it efloatithat each subscriber enlist one—that would double the number ^ I have acte d on his advice ; and instead of one , I have enlisted twenty . The following is the plan I adopted . —I took one in my pocket to a beer'shop . I read it . I sold it immediately , and thus I have succeeded , and my friends look for them every Saturday night . A friend of mine took two with him into the fields , and sal down on the bank to read tne . A native of

      Ireland passing at the time , inquired what it was and requested to look at it . He said it was what he wanted , and requested to purchase it , which he did , and said he would not neglect having them every week while t * e could get them .

" A Suffolk Chartist writes . — " Brother Chartists of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , let us set apart one day for a National Tribute ; say the 1 st of September , —that is a shooting day amongst the nobs . Let us see if we cannot have a fire on that day ; let us try and shoot two or three thousand pounds into the exchequer of the National Executive . I think it may be done . I know that there are thousands who cannot spare a penny ; but I think that forty or fifty thousand Chartists may be found who can each fire a shilling ball on that day , the 1 st of September . Some , pethaps , wiUfire a half crown ball , some a twoshilling ball , some a shilling ball , some a sixpenny

      ball , some a penny ball , others halfpenny and fanhinq balls . Let us try it , brother Chartists , and we shall have such a report as was never before heard in England . I cannot afford to fire a sixpenny ball ; and if I wait till I can I shall never do it ; but if I live I will fire a halfcrown on September the 1 st . You will say , how will you do it ? I will tell you : From the \ stoj August to the 1 st of September , I will take neither spirits , beer , tea , coffee , sugar , tobacco , nor snuff , exeept as medicine . Now then , brother CharitAts , fallow my example , and the thing is done . " York . —The members of the General Council resident in York beg to recommend Mr ; Harland Coultas

      ( a talented young man , and of excellent moral character J as a lecturer , and whose abilities wilt render him particularly useful in those districts where aristocratic influence and priestcraft pre . vail . Air . C . has been a student at the Wesleyan Theological Institute , London , being intended fer the Wesleyan ministry ; but preferring the universal principles of Chartism to the sectarian principles of methodism . he has joined the ranks of the people , with a desire to make himself useful in their cause . Address—Wm . Cordeux , Micklegate , York . Attendance of Lecturers . —We have often had occasion to publish the just complaints of the people of inattention of lecturers to their

      appointments . It is really shameful : persons have a right to refuse to be appointed as lecturers : but once appointed , they have no right to trifiewith the feelings and expectations of the people . We have this week received the following ; to which we call the attention of the parties concerned : — " It is an extremely unpleasant task , at all times , to find fault ; but in this instance I cannot refrain from doing so , conceiving as I do , that this locality ( Waterloo-road ) has been subject to a very great deal of neglect by our lecturers . On Monday week we were promised the attendance of a lecturer , and we assembled earlier than ¦ usual to facilitate the business of ihe locality , in order that there should be no interruption during

      the delivery of the lecture ; but we were doomed to disappointment—no lecturer attended . One of the members of our Council wrote to Mi . Wheeler on the subject ; and received for reply a statement , * that he could not account for the absence of the lecturer , as he had never known him disappoint a meeting before : however we might depend on Mr . Farrer being with us on the following meeting night ? Consequently , we circulated the g » od news as extensively as possible , and it was also announced in your paper . The result was , that we had a numerous meeting last evening , but again were doomed to disppointment : and I do think , Sir , that these frequent disappointments on the part of our lecturers are

      the means of injuring our glorious cause , and oj keeping many persons who would have espoused our pr inciples from enrolling themselves amongst us , and consequently weakening our funds . 1 have to apologise for taking up your time , but I do it in the hope that you will be pleased ( 0 notice it , in a short paragraph , in your next Star . " Robert Allen has sent us a very long letter , closely written on both sides of the paper , . while he sends at the same time three pages of blank paper . We have not even read his letter ; nor shall we do so . A Constant Reader , Manchester , J . W . Clarke , A Chartist of the Old School , Riohard Workman , Barxao ' oagh . —No room .

      GLORIOUS VICTORY OVER THE DEADLY ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE , THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY j OF THE CHURCH OF SCOT .

      LAND ' ¦ , . - : .-, ¦ - .. : .- . •¦ : - :- ¦¦ : ' : ' : - .: Last week , placards of a tremendous afze werei posted up on everycorner of thegood citjl ' of Aberdeen , announcing that a public meeting would b ' s held in Trinity Church , for the purpose of hearing Dr . CandlUh . ( the law-defying , interdict-tearing organ of the NiSn-Intrasioniets ) on the present position and prospects of the Church of Scotland , on the evening of Tuesday ; the 20 th inst , at half-past six o ' clock . / This meeting having been brought under the notice of the Aberdeen Charter Union , it was resolved by them to attend , and raise their voice on behalf of popular freedom and suffering humanity ; and , as it has beep attempted by the General Assembly to make a stab at Chartism , through the side ? oif the Roy . Patrick

      Brewster , whom they . have suspended from his official duties for having preached to the Glasgow Chartists , it was resolved by' the Charter Union to move , as an amendment ( to whatever resolutions might be brought forward ) an address agreed to by them , expressive of their detestation of the conduct of the General Assembly towards Mr . Brewster , and their sympathy with that individual under the Assembly's persecution . It having become known that the Chartists -were to be in attendance , all the clergy , elders , beadles , pew-openers , and ether church functionaries were bustling and driving about '/ the whole day , mustering arid drilling their forces , resolving to have the Church packed before the Chartists could get forward ; and so well had they played their part that by the heur of meeting there was not an unoccupied seat in all the lower

      part of the Church . By degrees , however , the moleskin jacYfcta began to appear In all the unoccupied seats in the galleries , ( no time having been taken to change their working clothes , ) and they continued to pour into all the passages , and to every hole and corner where it was possible a human being could be crammed . The Church contained all the intolerant and bigotted—all the rich and respectable—in fact , it contained , in the estimation of the parties themselves , everythibg . great and good in our city , The appearance , therefore , of the woiKing classes was very unpalatable , but they had such confidence in their own strength and the precautionary measures they bad adopted , that they were in complete security . The platform around the pulpit was filled with the clergy of the town , the greatest of the lawyer * , Ire , with Sir Wm . Saton , Bart . Major Steward occupied the chair .

      The Rav . John Murray opened the meeting by prayer . . , ' "¦ ¦ - ' - '¦¦ ' ¦ ' -.- ' ' '¦¦'¦'¦¦ ' ' - ¦ , Dr . Brown then came forward arid read a resolution expressive of gratitude to God for having enabled the miuisters and office-bearers who composed the majority of tho last Ganeral Assembly , faithfully and firmly to adopt measures in accordance with tho word of G . od , and calculated to promote his glory and the people's good . This resolution he supported in a short parsonlike speech . \ -- .. ' ..: ' ¦ '¦ : '¦ . The Rev . A . L Gordon seconded the motion , which was agreed to amid cheers arid hisses . The Rev . Dr . Candush rose to move the second resolution . It was to the eflkst that the meeting express peculiar satisfaction With the resolutions passed at tbe last General Assemly on the subject of patronage and the spiritual independence of the Church . After a long speech from the Doctor , ¦

      Dr . K . Eiiu rose _ to second the motion , but it now became evident thit a storm was gathering .: He made several attempts to speak , but was met with ; the most discordant noiao , and assailed from the galleries with bo much hissing , arid so many epithets , that he bad to resume his seat , with the single rftmutk— ' * I Bhall forbear what I intended to say , and simply second D > CandUab ' s motion . " i v The Chairman now rose to put the motion , but failed to get , anything like a hearing . Hissing * hooting , yelliDg , and screaming , were mingled together in confusion , and tbe criea of aujourmnfent were again resumed , and vociferously maintained . The Chairman at times looked " unutterable things , " while the clergy iu his ntiigabbnihood urged him to dissolve tbe meeting at once . To this alternative he seemed unwilling to resort ; and when the storm was at its height , arid Mr . D . Mitchell consulting behind the chair with Dr . Candlish and others . . . V' '' : ¦' : ¦ "'''¦

      Mr . James Macpherson , who was seated below the south gallery , was seen making his way to the platform , and hailed with cheers and hisses . He said he had an amendment to propose on : thei list resolution , and no eaoner did he eay eo than he was met with a volley of hisses that fairly put him down .: This was tho signal tor a treat stentorian demonstration on the part of bis friends , which had the effect of cheering him on to another attempt to obtain a hearing . Dr . Candlish , who , at this stage of the crisis , stood on the left of . the chair ( which was the' precentor ' s desk , ) struck the desk repeatedly , declaring the nieetiog to be dissolved ; but the Chairman most earnestly begged of the meeting to hear Mr . Macpherson in . the first glaco , and , ultimately , he was allowed to go on . He said that be intended to

      confine himself closely to the business before the meeting , and that he would direct their attention more to what had not been done or notified by the General Assembly than to dwell on their transactions , so far as they had been brought before them by the Rev . Doctor . In the Pastoral Address , issued by the General Assembly , appointing Thursday first to be held as a day of humiliation and prayer , with a special reference to the distress at present existing in the country , amongst the many causes which are set forth in that document ac calling down the Divine displeasure on this land , he . was astonished to fiudtiiat « ot even the most distant allusion was made to the unchristian and cruel wars in which we are at present butchering the peaceful inhabitants of China and the hardy uieuntaineera of

      Afighanistan—( cheers , hisses , and roara of laughter from several of the clergy on the p latform ) . Xha Reveread Poctor has animadverted , in stroDgr and feeling language , on the disgiraBBful fact that bulletsi and bayoae ^ . a -are employed by the Governmtnt to force the induction of pastors on nriwilling congregations ; but if , in offering an address cf this nature to the country , and in their general conduct , they have failed to enter their protest against this inhuman Warfare—if they , who are the public guardians of tho morality and religion of the country , did not put .-o- f'Ao on such Conduct , he was obliged to couple them 'ith the authors and abfcttera of rapine and bloodshed—( cheers , laughter , and cries of "Put him out ") . Indeed , their apathy and indifference on this snbject could not but be deprecated by

      every goed and virtuous man , every lover of freedom and of Justice . Andvwtot right had they to complain of lha scourge beicg applied to themselves when this was their conduct on the general question ?—( " Oh , ohl ") He had no wish to pverthrow or oppose the Church of Scotland , he himself having been a member of that body fer the last fifteen years , and baviDg been bred and nurtured inher bosom-- ( cheers ) . But , when he saw ministers of that Church traversing through the whole country , from the east to the west , and from , the south to the north , vilifying and abusing one another —( rears of laughter from the clergy )—and exhausting ^ he vocabulary of Billingsgate— ( renewed laughter )—pouring forth their vituperations throughout the length and breadth of the land— - ( confusion)—when he saw such

      unseemly and unbecoming conduct on the part of her tfflce-bearerB—conduct calculated to undermine and destroy that respect , esteem , and veneration with which she ought to be regarded by her members-- ( much cheer-: ing)—it' was like preventing her from committing an ect of self-destrnctionto put astop tosuch mad proeeedin ^ s ; and he wa » , therefore ,. anxious , as a member Of that Church , to see her ministers adopt such a line of conduct as would secure the respect , the affection , aad veneration ef all her members—( cheers ) . After a few more observaUons of the same tendency , Mr . Macpherson read some extracts from the Pastoral Address of the General Assembly , and cbnoluded by moving , as an amendment to the motion of Dr . Candlish , an address to the Rev . P . Brewster , lately agreed to by a large portion of the inhabitants . of , Aberdeen . Mr .

      Macpherson , having read the address , proceeded to say , that if be had been led t& use , inrtne cpttrse of hfa ^ pbservatioosi which might appear to baetrong language or harah expressions , in doing , so , he bad not been actuated by feeling of personal hostility towards any of the gentlemen present ; but-against the evils inflicted on the country , and their conduct as a class . Poraonally he bad nothing whatever to say to them—( chbere ) . As to the derision , jeers , horse-laughs , and sneering ^ conteinpt with which-Be had been treated by some of the legal and clerical gentlemen around him , be had only to « ay , that , in the eyes of an enlightened audience , it would reflect more disgrace on themselves than it could do on him—( cheers and hisses ) . He had no preten-Blons to a refined education , and did not hesitate to inform them that he waa nurtured in the lap of labour

      and in the school of industry ; but , if he lacked that polish which might be got in their seats of learning , he was also clear of that rubbish with which it was generally accompanied . He concluded by calling upon the meeting to show by their vot » s whether ttiey would support a buUetlng , bayoneting Chui-ch , or the peaceloving doctrines of trae Christianity , and sat down amid general confaaioa . ; ; / > ; ::: Mr . Henry , ^ slater , ( late of Dundee ); then rose in the front part of , the gallery opposite the chair ; and said—I cordially rise to second this address—an address to the only clergyman belonging to the Church of Scotland who has . come forward to advocate tho cause of suffering humanity , while those men who say they are advocating your cause have turned upon bim and

      suspended him fcom his ministry . And why ? Because he dared to raise his voice , as a minister of the Gospel of peace , against ^^ the horrors ot yr&r j and war , too , the most cruel , inhuman , and guilty ; in which our country has ever been engaged , although these have neither been few nor far between—( cheers and hisses . ) We are at present engaged in war with the peoplo of AffghaniBtan—a brave and hardy race : ot ; mountaineers , who never wronged us—yet we have laid their homes in ashes , and are now butchering that brave and unoffending race . How nobly they have defended their country ' s liberty ia proved by the bones , of 12 , 000 men and women , which now He bleaching In the valleys of Kooord , Cabul , at once a warning and a chastisement to this Christian nation . Yet the men who say

      they are consecrated to the service of the Prince of Peace , stand forth in their pulpits , Sunday after Sunday , and pray the God of heaven for success against a people whose only crime is that they are determined to be free , or perish in the struggle . Are we not at present alBp at war with China , to defend and perpetuate one of the most wicked and contraband-traffics that ever disgraced the annals of crime ? Is it not fraught with the debasement morally and physieally , of that race ? In fact , we are robbfner , murdering , and cu tting their throats for the greed ef gain ; and do n « t the persecutors of Mr . Brewster pray for success

      in this absolutely satanic war ?—( Hisses and cheers . ) I have been breught up in the strictest principles of the Church of iScotUnd ; but I must speak of jay country ' s wrongs , and raise my voice , however feeble it may be , against the proud oppressors of my race—( cheers ) . Dr . Candlish has told you of the wronga the Church has suffered , and is suffering , from the Government ; but haVe not her clergymen ever been , anti are they not still , the aiders and abettors of that Government in the wrongs they have inflicted on a saffering peoplewrongs so fearful that Milton ' s description of hell may be well applied to our native land—: Reglona of sorrow , doleful shades , Where peace ¦" ¦

      And rest can never dwell ; hope never comes . !' And what prospect , what hope , does the coining winter bring to the working man ? None , but those of starvation . Men ate now walking onr streets living ekeletons , and thousands are even now famishing of hunger , and when did the clergymen lift up their ; voice against that class whose selfish legislation has caused all that suffering ? Never . Did they not send addresses to tbe King , in 1799 , to encourage him to prosecute the war a jainBt France ? Beaifles , they excited the people in every parish throughout too whole country , to en ter into a voluntary subscripton to carry on that war . Dr . Candlifih has eloquently pointed out to you the evils of Church patronage , and bow the Chuch has suffered from them for 300 years ; but how , if patronage be a sinful thing , has the Church sinned so long under it ? He

      also tells us that there is little or no hope of its abolition . Why , then , continue to agitate when the remedy is so simple ? ; If yau are consistent , haaten to make Common cause with your suffering couutrymen , and they will receive yon with open arms ; but while you continue to persecute ministers for preaching the doctrines of peace , it is to be feared that you are struggling more for your own aggrandizament than for the rights of the people . I shall now conclude by bop . lii ' g that this mefcttng will excuse me for the manner in which I have deUveredthese my sentiments , as I am only a working man . As for the ; statements themselves , I dare any one to deny them ; and while these gentlemen continue in tbe ranks of onr oppressors , wo must look upon them as part and parcel of them . I second the address—( cheers . ) .

      At the cIobo of Mr ; Henry ' s address , the uproar was resumed , and a rush ef people baying made their way through the west doer into the south passage , a dreadful squeeze look piace , which lasted , for some minutes . A general call to put the motion and amendment was now made , and once or twice the Chairman atttmpted to take a show , of bauds , but in vain . At length , something like a show of hands was got for the motion , but it . could serve to givo np idea of the real feeling of the meeting / and the Chairman seemed to be afraid to put the amendment ; , which produced another row . ; Matters remained in this state for about a quarter of an hour , and such was the noise and tumult of the meeting , that no pen could give anything liko a correct description of it ; To those who were seated

      near the platform , it was amusing to see one minister after another pocket his resolution , intended to follow up Dr . Candliah ' s motien , amid 1 the gibes and jeers of the persons in the galleries ; who , from their commanding eminence , could see all that was going on below . Now and then , some one or other of the gentlemen near the chair tssared to speak , but failed ta produce the slightest effect on the mass ; Tbe Chairman who kept bis temper to the very last ; lost all command , of the meeting , and Dr . CanUlish , who sat very thoughtfully on his left , cast many a lingering look to the door . Finding the Gallant Major inexorable to all their demands to put the amendment , a proposal was made to get another chairman , but no one seemed inclined to risk a struggle for that distinction ..

      Towatda ten o ' clock , and after some consultation with his supporters , the Chairman quitted the cbair , declaring the meeting to be dissolved ; and , taking his place a step lower down , by Dr . Candlish , looked wistfully on . The position now of the gentlemen on and around the platform or elders' seat , was anything but comfortable . The people having possession of oil the passes / gave manifest tokens of their determination to keep their ground ; and , as it was in vain to think of making a breach through them , the gallant Major formed his troops into a iquare , arid stood on the defensive . Here yolley after volley was ponred in / of all kinds of epitb « ts . At length the content b 8 gan to flag , and ultimately settled down into peace ; but such a seen ? has not happaned in thfa city sines tha days of Michael-Crotty , the priest of Bir .

      The yictory gained by the Chartists over their opponents in Trinity church , caused them immediately to issue out bills for a meeting to be held at the Market cross , on Thnrsday evening , at ei ^ ht o ' clock , to take into consideration the Echemes of the General Assembly and others , for removing the distress which at present exists in the country . The town became greatly excited during the whole of Wednesday ; and Thursday , and the defeat ofthenonintrusionists was hailed with general approbation , and so very strong waxed the feeling against tbe General Assembly and the Fast they had appointed , that very few of the shops were shut , and the general business of tho day \ isufFtted- very littlo interruption , and , in . fact , Chartism rose so rapidly in

      public estimation , that the authorities became alarmed ; the fiscal sent for the printer of the placards calling tho meeting , and wished that it should take place outsitle of the town . Au interview afterwards took place betwixt the Fiscal and Mr . James Macpherson , when Mr . Macphersou stated to that functionary that if no legal impediment existed againtt holding the- meeting at the market cross , they would noc consent £ 0 its being holden elsevvherej sts he yvas confident that no breach of tho peace or disorder of any kind would take place at that meeting . The Fi&caI replied that although no legal obstacle to their meeting at tlie Cross existed , yet he thought it very ill chosen uu ? der the existeace of the present excitement , and the

      leaders would be held responsible for any breach of the peace , of public damage which might easue . He ' . was auswered that pur moral influence was such thai !; whatever disposition existed with other parties to dibturb the poace of the town ; he might rest assured they , would prevent the possibility of any-such result . .

      APPREHENSION AND HOLDING TO BAIL OF M'DOUALL , AND SOME OTHERS . Thb doctrine of Sir James Graham , that the police are to be judges of what constitutes an illegal meeting , seems to have been soon acted upon . On Tuesday evening , a large assemblage of persons took place at the Meeting-honse , High-street , Deptford , which lad been granted by the Rev . Mr . PuHen , for the alleged purpose of G . Thompson , Esq .

      delivering a lecture oa the existing distress of the country . The lecturer failed to attend , * considerable confusion took place in the meeting ; the police were sent for ; and after some trifling disturbance the meeting was dissolved . Some of the persons who composed it then proposed an adjournment to the Broadway "which was agreed to . Hundreds who had been unable to gain admittance now followed to the Broadway , and in a few minutes the large open space was filled , and shortly after the highway was blocked up . The pump in the centre afforded an excellent rostrum . Dr . M'Douall having ascended to harangue the multitude , was loudly and vehemently cheered . The address , was , howevtr , cut

      short by the arrival of Mr . Superintendent Mallalieu and a number of the force . The meeting was ordered to disperse , which order was met with determined opposition , upon which orders were given to clear , and Dr . M'Douall was pulled down from the pump , and several of the Chartist leaders were taken in custody to the station house , tive police being assailed by ycll 3 and groans . M'Donall was detained in the Station House all night , though good bail had been offered for him ; he was next morning examined at great length befere Mr . Jkkemt , and ultimately liberated , on giving bond , himself in £ 50 , and two sureties in £ 25 each , to be of good behaviour for eix months .
