      of the parties whose names are subscribed to it , having ceased to be members of this association , so fax back as the beginning of last ApriL Sir , U has come to our knowledge recently , that one or two of those who , went ou « from us snd denounced ua , are now in KUmainhMn jail on a charge of Ribbonism—( hear , hear ) . Btfore they came amongst us they produced their cards as as . sociates of the -Royal National Repeal Association of Ireland , and one of the parties now in jail was proposed at the Corn Exchange by no less a personage than Daniel 0 'ConneU himself—( hear ) . The person who was turned out of our meeting to day is one of those who denounced as , and though apparently , and in all probability & harmless individual ; yet as he went away in bad company , and remained in that company till now ,

      he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) did not deem it wise or prudent to admit him without further inquiry . ( Hear , hear . ) We must be on our guard ; the wolf is on the walk ; threats and intimidation , did not drive tts from our sanctified purpose . Recourse may be now had to other means to entrap U 3 . We have beard of seditious papers having been Blipped into innocent men ' s pockets , of which they knew nothing till they were arrested . We have heard of deeds of darkness having been committed by wicked men in all ages , snd in all countries , for the purpose of aiding tyrants to maintain their power , and to crush public liberty . Wo have heard the parties whom we nave exjx'llefl , and who , in fact , espeliod themselves , accuse each other of the most atrocious crimes . We have heard them charged with

      having been put into prison on a mock chwge of sedition , and put into the Bame ceil with men against whom there was evidence , and when the day of trial came , this mock prisoner appeared in his real character , which was that of a spy , and flippantly awore away the lives of his fellow prisoners . We have heard accusations of this kind ; but we thought they were exaggerated . We looked upon them as false and malicious . We did not imagine that such characters would be admitted as members of the Repeal Associa tion . But we must be on our fuard . The man who pronounced the GlaBgow cotton-spinners guilty before they were tired ; " -who deserted and betrayed the Dorehestflr labonrera ; who said that the advocates of the poor factory children were " spurious humanity mongers , " and who sailed aloud for the very blood of tha StepBOTses , the Oastlers , and the O'Connors , would not scruple at any means , no matter how flagitious , by which fca could have his predictions respecting the

      illegality of this Association verifi >} £ —( hear , hear . ) Be it si ways borne in roind that the beet friend of the Irish " Universal Suffrage Association is he . who tells every body everything he sees and hears in this room , or at any of our mettinga . Tee Irish Universal Suf : frage Association purpeses achieving its objects by petition and petition only , and we have it as the opinion of -Eome of the most eminent lawyers that onr Association never can be made unlawful , can never bs put down , until such time as the right of petition is taken amy from the subject—( bear , hear . } The Association has , therefore , nothing fco fear . There ia sufficient knowledge and wisdom in it to guard against the introduction of improper persons , to avoid seditious or threatening language ; to turn out any man who will dare to talk about signs or passwords , or secrets of any kind—( hear , h- ar . ) Mr . Clark postponed hi 3 motion till next Sunday ; after which the usual thanks were given to the Chairman , and th © meeting separated .

      M-lNTROSE . — -GRAKD VICIOKT OV PRINCIPLE ov £ B Expediency . —On the evening of Tuesday last a sreneral meeting of the inhabitants was called by handbills , in the Thistle Hall , by the Anti-Corn Law body , for the purpose of hearing the Rev . Mr . Law , of Forfar , give an account of his mission to the Conference still sitting in London . Before the hour , eight o ' clock , the Hall wa 3 crowded almost to suffocation . Mr . Muckart , vice president , vraa called to the chair , who opened the meeting and introduced Mr . Law , who gave an eloquent aecount of the doings of the Conference—the heartrtnding misery and destitution so prevalent in the Isnd of freedom , rj Britain is called , which struck terror into the minds of all but the callous , and the perpetrators 0 / such atrocities . Mr . Law is an able and

      truly generous man ; - one that is worthy of a better cause . He admitted in his discourse , in many instances , that no good can , or will , be got until the people be represented in the Houss of Commons . AffT the eloquentlectcrer concluded , a vote of thaaks was heartily given , when David StracLan and Warkie asked a few questions of Mr . Law , which he answered in true Chartist ttyle : then tbe workies went to work in good earnest , when the R 2 Y . Mr . Hyflop rose , and stated that the meitiag was got np for an express purpose and called upon the chairman not to allow any one to move sny resolution un l ess conforming with its object . I am , taid ilr . Hyslop , -willing to go as fur as aDy of you prswivt . Call a meeting for this express purpose , and I will go the whole length with yen . Mr . Law stated

      that every one had a perfect right to mova anything he thought proper , when seme one moved thai this mbitiug 02 atfjouraed , and tbe chairman leave the cbiir , which wa 3 done—and the Rtv . Mr . Hyslop was unanimously appointed chairman , and acted the part of 0 goo-3 demoCTit—impartially . The good and true of the cause cf liberty it ' U adhered to their principles , notwithbtacding the hisses , and Bhouts of "Thrust them out , " of * ho com craiks . Divid Strachan moved , acd Divid Milne seconded , the following resolution : — " We , the middle nnd working classes of Montrose , in public meeting assembled , having heard from tbe Rsv . Mr . Law an account of his mission to the Conference he'd in London at the beginning of the month , are of opinion that the House of Commons as at

      present constituted , either will not or cannot do anything to relievo that distress which has so long and so heavily pressed upon the shoulders of the working classes , and which is now being felt by the middk class portion of the community ; can see no other way by which car mutual condition can be ameliorated than r-7 adoptln ; a plan by which the whole people may be fn ' -ij , f sirlj , and frsr-ly represented ; nnd as we conceive tht principles embodied in that document called the Feople ' s Charter qualified to do this , we , therefore , pleuge oureeives to use every legal and con-tiialioiirJ mfcAiir within our power to have the same , as scon as possible , made the law cf the land . " An 8 nier _ ament , was moved by Mr . James Collison , au « l sreo ^ dc-d by Mr . Georce Drummond , — " Tell it not in

      Fcrfsj , let it cot be heard in l , atheTiDuir . " The seco ^ iler of the amendiuant , after explanations , found s 5 . rre was no (^ Serenes betwten tbe amendment and the mction , only Mr . Drummond wished to expungu the v ; ord ' Charter" altogether . The meeting seemed disgusted at inch condnct , and on the amendment being put from tha chair , only twenty-nine hands held e ? for it ; and on tbe motion being put , a densa forest of hands was up ,. and it was carried with great acclamation . A rota of thanks -was given to the chairman , vrfco did fccnonr to the claia ho belongs to . We may mention that the leaders of the anti ' s all made their escape before tbe motion was pnh Thus ended one of the first victories in this priest-ridden town ; we hope it v . 'ill be followed up with energy .

      SHEPPIBLD . ( Received too late for our last . ) TRIUMPHANT PROGRESS OF THE CAUSE . Hurrah for the Charter f—our Association numbers this day ( July 28 th ) One Thousand One Hiwdred and Fifty-five ! On Wednesday , a public meeting was held in Paradise Square , which was addressed by Messrs . Parkes and Edwin GUI , eighty-three new members were enrolled . Another public meeting was held in the Sqnare , on Thursday night , which waB addressed at great length by Mr . Harney . Thirty-five new members were enrolled . . : On Sunday last , Mr . Homey , aocompanled by a lan ; e body of the Sheffield Chartista visitad Shire Green , four miles from Sheffield . The villages turned out well , and seemingly listened with deep interest to the address of Mr . Harney . . :

      In the evening , a glorious meeting was held at Sky-Edge , one of the out-districts of Sheffield . Sky-Edge is an eminence looking down upon , and affording a splendid view of , Sheffield , a spot often frequented by tbe Chartists in 1839 . Messrs . Harney , Evisson , and Edwin Gill addressed the meeting . UpwardB oi fifty new membera were enrolled . On Monday evening , a meeting called by placards ¦ was held , to take into consldention the propriety of electing delegates to attend the Manchester Demonstration on the 16 th of August next , and to attend the Conference , called to assemble in Manchester on that day . . . - ' - ' •¦• ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ' "• ¦"¦ ,. ¦ . - . " -. ' '

      As early as six o ' clock , a large number of persons had assembled in Paradise Square , from which the people adjourned shortly before seven o'clock , first forming in procession in tha Square , and in good order marching to Roscoe Fields . Here the Chartist National Anthem was sung , and that staunch veteran , Mr . Wrag , having been called to the chair , opened the business in a brief but eloquent speech . Mr . Harney followed , and in a lengthy address alluded to the anticipated battle with the Corn Law Repealers , and roused his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm , in expectation of the coming contest . He concluded by moving the adoption of the following resolution : —

      " That this meeting regards with undiminlshed horror and indignation the brutal and bloody attack upon the people of Manchester when assembled on the ever-memorable 16 th of August , 1819 , peaceably to petition for their just rights ; and this meeting pledges itself ta agitate for the Charter , until it Bhall becema the law of the land , and justice be done for the horrible outrage committed by the drunken and ruffianly tools of a corrupt and tyrannical Government " Mr . Pabkes seconded the resolution , entering Into a detail of the horrible outrage spoken of in the resolution . Mr . P . was londJy applauded . Ihe resolution was then put and carried . Mr . Edwi . n Gill , in an excellent speech , moved the adoption of the next resolution : —

      " That the Chartists of Sheffield , baing called on by the Executive to elect a delegate , or delegates , to represent them in the forthcoming Conference , to be feeld in Manchester on the ISfch of Aagusfc , we hereby elect Mr . Gteorge Julian Harney and Mr . Samuel Parkes as fit arid proper persons to represent us in the aforesaid Conference , at the same time regretting that . want of funds , in consequence ef general distress , prevents us sending more than two delegates to represent us in Buch an important meeting . " Mr . Evison , in an able and energetic speech , seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . The meeting then sung— " We'll rally around him ;" and shortly afterwards formed again in procession , and returned to Paradise-square , preceded by a band of music that had volunteered its services . Arrived at the Square , Mr . Harney and Mr . Parkes again briefly addressed the people , exhorting peace and good order . The meeting was then dissolved .

      The mass of people assembled on thip evening was extremely large , and the enthusiasm greater than usnaL Nearly a hundred new members were enrolled . Tuesday Night , another first rate meeting was held in Roscoe Fields , Mr . Evisson in the chair . Mr . W j LLiAMS first addressed the meeting , and was followed by . ' - ¦'¦¦ Mr . Ed . ivjji Gill , who read a letter hota- ' . poot Joynes , lately deprived of his employent for attending the funeral of the murdered Holberry . Mr . Gill ably commented upon this poor man ' s persecution . Mr . PAB . K . I . S read a letter from Mr . Duncorube , M . P ., which -was received -with loud applause . Above sixty new members were enrolled . We now come to tbe crowning triumph of the week , the

      GLORIOUS VICTORY OF THE CHARTISTS AND DEFEAT OF THE LEAGUERS . It was a saying of the ancients that " those whom the gods mean to ' destroy they first drive mnd . " This has been been shown in the persons of the Sheffield repealers , -who , certainly must have taken leave of their senseB , when they decided upon abandoning their hole and corner mattings , and cominc once more before the public . Tuesday moming , large placards posted through the town , announced the meeting . The following is a copy : —

      "To Thomas Ellin , Eaqaire , Master Cutler . We , the undersigned , request you will convene & public meeting of the inhabitants of Sheffield , to be held in Paradifie-Equare , on the earliest convenient day , at twelve o ' clock , to take into consitieration the propriety of presenting a respectful address to her Majesty , praying her not to prorogue Parliament until it has taken iuto consideration the wide-spread , unparalleled , and daily-increasing distress of the country , and the probahility of that distress being relieved by a repeal of the Corn anrt Provision Laws . ( Here fallowed the signatures . ) In compliance with the above requisition , I hereby call a Public Meeting , to be held in Paradise square , on Wedvesday next , at twelve o ' clock at noon . —TuoMiS Ellin , Jun . Master Cutler . " Wednesday morning , green placards were posted on the part of the Fig-tree-lane Association . The following is a copy : — .

      «« The last kick of the Wh » gs ! Chartists of Sheffield , a last attempt to delude andijetray you U to be made to-day , by the treacherous Liberals ; who Invite you to abandon your " ' Charter , ' for the miserable humbug -of Corn Law RepeaL' Rush , then , in your thousands , to Paradise-squRre , at twelve o ' clock ; and by your united voices crush for aye and for ever the base , bloody , andbratai Whig Faction , who have bstrayed and enslaved yon before , and seek te pl » y their old game of duplicity and treachery anew . Your undaunted Champion , Fergus O'Connor , is expected to be present ; then « raUy arcund him again and again . * Hurrah for the Charter , and no surrender J "

      By the hour appointed , the square was three parts filled , and half an hour afterwards was crowded in every part , every inch of ground even to the church rails in Cauipo-lane being densely blocked ap by the immense mass of people present . A few minutes post twelve o ' clock proceedings commenced by a gentleman whose name we did not learn , proposing that in the absence of the Master Cutler , Wm . Fisher , Esq . should take the chair . This was seconded , when Mr . Harney proposed as an amendment that Mr . George Evisson , « working man , should take the chair . Mr . Edwin Gill seconded the amendment . On the question being put , Mr . Evisaon wns elected by a triumphant majority , amidst tbe clapping of hands and cheers of the Chartists . The Chaibman read the requisition , and , after a few excellent remarks , gave way for

      Mr . Dunn , -who in a lengthy , Bilky , plausible address , replete -with the usual Whig fallacies , moved the adoption of tha following memorial : — " 27 t « humb ' e address of the undersigned inhabitants of Sheffield , chifjty of the working classes , in public nueling assembled , "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY , " Madau , —We , the undersigned , principally operatives of Shtffield , but part of your loyal subjects , respectfully beg to lay before your Majesty our ruinous coudition . Thousands of ua are unemployed ; we aie dependent on parochial and othes charities , because the unjust Com Laws have destroyed out trades . "Your Majasty is a parent ; and ever may your offspring be virtuous and happy . But you have never known the pangs of hunger , and save never heard your children cry for food . Judge , then , -what our distress is . -when we assure your Majenty that these are sufferings with which many of us are familiar every day .

      "Your MBjeBty * B kindness has appeared on many occasions . We rejoice in a Queen that has shewn a tenderness of hem for her people that monarchs have seldom evinoed . We earnestly thank you for your mandate to the clergy , to make collections for such of us as need alms ; but your Majesty knows that the individual shore of these subscriptions will no ! support us fcr mote thas a single day . " It is not charity , illustrious Madam , that we wast ; but the opportunity to earn our own support . We are for the most part laborious and industrious people , attached to order and peace ; but we have just reason to complain of the famine-creating Corn Laws , passed before your Majesty ' s birth , and supported by your Government and the majority of iVeth Houses of Parliament . ¦ , ' . ' ¦ - -i

      "It il impossible for ua to deLVsribe , onr distress Many of us are not more than half ieA . Our apparel and furniture are Bold , or pawned ; our wive * and children are in rags ; we can neither jTocare them employment , education , nor medieioe ; oi u sufferings are becoming intolerable ; the present is d « » dful , but the future will be indescribable , unleas tbe lav 'o that restrict trade be instantly repealed . . : ' ' . "We believe that an nnfeigned affecti «* to your Majesty is felt by all your subjects . In that feeling we fully share . We think it , however , unjust that your Majesty ehould he involved in the horrors wL " ^ h must arise from & people destitute of food ; and we & TO confident that , when the poor-rates fail , which the *¦ roust do at no distant period , if the Com Laws are a-- ? ' - repealed , the country wilt realise the awful tmth , Xk&t famine ^ nd civil order cannot long co-exist . " We have frsquently appealed to the ParliameL "t » \ but in Vsin

      but in Vsin . We turn , as our last hona . tn untwif . jsai . . We turn , as our last hope , to your Majest ) " i and implora yoa to command your Ministers to propose the ' repeal tf the food taxes , and to prevent the i
