Kihkcaldt - _. Wea _^ ess . —An out-floor meeting of tsbe hand-loom wearers of Kirkcaldy and vioinity waa held on Saturday , the 1 st of April , ta consider _whst means to adopt to ' prevent a reduction of wages , on aa _ayerage nine _onA . half per cent ., - paid only " by Mr John Jeffery , when it was unanimously _ajrreed to send & deputation to see if he would pay as high as other employers . He treated the deputation with ) contempt , stating he must have a certain per centage , come froa where it might , A declaration was got up on Monday , the 3 rd , by all the other _manufaoturera , stating there was no cause whatever for Mr Jeffery ' s reduction , and would do all in their power to prevent it . Another out-door meeting was held the _Bame day , whioh was attended by at least three thousand persons , - when it was agreed to proceed in a body to the unfeeling despot , to request him to sign the ' . declaration of the other manufacturers , but which he refused to do , declaring he would do as he
pleased . The procession then moved te their former place of meeting , _jwhen it was unanimously agreed to take no work from him . The authorities getting alarmed at the meetings scarcely left a _shopkeopef who was not sworn in as a special constable ; cut honour to the weavers of Kirkcaldy , the _broomstieks ofthe ' opecJals * were not -required . The Prows ' , en interceding with the tyrant , got him to withdraw one half of tfifi reduetion .

Marylebone Vestk.Y Meeting. Thb .Onikhbt...
MARYLEBONE VESTK _. Y MEETING . Thb . OniKHBT _Dbmohstratioh . _—Addkbss to ihb Q ' oebm . — Saturday , at a very fully attended meeting of tha vestry of St Marylebone , tha Rev . Dr Spry in the chair . ¦ .. . . . After a vote of thanks to the magistrates for their eonduet on the 10 th , , , Mr Stanford thought tho time had now arrived wben some netiee should be taken of tbe very excellent and energetic _maaaures taken to . _provide for the peaee of the metropolis by ber Majesty ' s governmeat . [ A cry of No , no , ' buret from every part ef the vestry . l He ( Mr Stanford ) was perfectly
astonished to hear _auoh a response from a _bsdy whieh no believed to be the advocates of tojalty a . ad _fttder . ( Oh , oh ) At all events , he had prepared a resolution , and if he stood alone he would bring it before the vestry . ( Oh , oh , and confusion . ) He begged to more the following : — 'That this vestry cannot but express their warm approval of the wise and energetic means taken by her Majesty ' s government for the preservation of order en Monday last , and beg to congratalate her Majesty ' s government on the happy result of their very judicious , and at the Bame time temperate arrangements . ' ( Loud expressions of dissent . )
The motion , not finding a seconder , fell to the ground . Mr Johh _WttLiAMS , M . P ., said , had Mr Stanford ' s motion been confined to an address to the sovereign , he would have supported it . Ho would move : — 'That & dutiful address be presented to her Majesty the Queen , assuring her Majesty that the loyal determination desplsyed by the metropolis on Monday laBt will ever be exhibited by every class ofthe inhabitants of this parish , on all occasions where tbe dignity of her Majesty ' s crown or tbe tranquillity of the country may be assailed . " Mr J . Bull seconded the resolution . Mr Sqdeh thought that if the vestry passed such a resolution , it would stamp the proceedings of last Monday as an attempt to __ dethrono the Queen , and to subvert all the institutions of the countryan assumption which he _utterly repudiated , and denied .
Mr _Steyesb must express his astonishment at the declarations of MrSoden . Ho feared he eould not have read in the newspapers the speeches of Mr _Washerwoman Cuffay —( laughter )—and the ether anarchists , who declared that they were even prepared to go the length of committing murder . After some discussion , during whieh more abase _wasgmw to the Chartists by __ Sir TV . Stirling , Mr J . Williams , M . P ., with great warmth , said I rise to order . I bee to call the hon . baronet to
order . I will not sit down quietly and hear the Chartists as a body , and the working men of England , of whieh that body is composed , held up to Bcorn as thieves , rogues , and assassins . I belong myself to the working _clashes , and I have the pleasure of being known to , ar : d to know myself , thousands of Chartists , who , I will undertake to say , are as loyal to the sovereign as the hon . baronet . I agree with some of the points ' of the Charter myself , and I will defy him to say that I am not as loyal as he is .
Sir J . Hamilton—I beg to suggest to my hon . friend Sir . Walter _Stirling , thathe should withdraw- the expressions he has made use of t -waids any body of men . ( Loud cries of heat . ) Sir W . Stirling could dp no such thing , as his conviction was that the Chart ' _iBts who caused the oxcited state of the metropolis on Monday last wcre accessories before the faot to assassination , murder , and robbery . ( Oh , ob ; order , order ; and great _confasion . ) He believed tbey had no legitimate object in view , no real _grlevanceotoredresa ; but it was a pkn to npset government asd all peace and . order , that they might ' have ho government at all , and that they might make the consternation their proceedings created the opportunity for robbery , plunder , and excesses of the very worst description . ( th , e confusion here became so general that no more of Sir Whiter Stirling ' s observations could be heard .
Mr J . Williams , M . P ., in reply said , as one of the working _classee , he was well aware that neither he nor the class to which he belonged , had or could exp ect to have any sympathy from the aristooracy . If he wanted any proof , he need only refer to the Gagging Bill of the government , upon whieh he had divided against the government on every division during the previous night . He again repelled the unjust attack wbich had been made by Sir Walter Stirling on the Chartists as a body , and he could assure him and tbe vestry , that there were thousands of Chartists who were actuated by the strongest feelings of loyalty . He hoped the question would pass unanimously . The Rev . _Chairuah here nut the motion , and although there were several members who did Bit hold up their hands in its favour , none voted against it , find it was declared to bs carried unanimously .

THS GAGGING BILL . To the Honourable the House of Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament assembled , the petition of a public meeting held at _Farringden Hall , iu the city of London , ou the 11 th of April , 1818 , - _HtJUBLIT flHEWETH , That , although jour petitioners have long since lost all faith in the efficacy of _petitioning , as a means of inducing your honourable house to restore to them and the people generally , their social * and political rights , now usurped by the landed and moaied aristocracies , and which usurpation your honourable house , forgetting your duties as representatives of the common people of these countries , has flagrantly upheld , jour petitioners , nevertheless , deem it their duty to protest , In determined language , against the attempt now being made by your honourable house to angment the wrongs under which the people suffer , ourae and groan . Vour petitioners 'particularly allude to that monstrous and _liberticidal bill introduced b y Sir G . < 3 rcy .
That bill your petitioners regard with alarm , indignation , and _contempt , With alarm , because of its unconstitutional and _eppressire character ; with Indignation , because of Us tyrannical tendency to suppress public opinion , and to destroy the right of public meetings ; and with contempt because your honourable house vainly contemplates thereby to perpetuate tbe evils of misgovernment . Your honourablo -house has been told tbat the Mil referred to is intended for the better protection of the ¦ Grown and government ; your petitioners respectfully suggest _thatits tendency will ba to destroy both , and they humbly remind ¦ the ministers and your honourable ¦ house of afaet which seems to haTe been forgotten , that on the continent the most despotic governments have been overthrown , _aotibr _attempting , like your honouroble house , fo _curteil the liberties ot the people , bat for the suicidal poliey of -refusing to extend those liber _, riles .
-That it is the opinion of your petitioners that the conduct of tho ministers in introducing this libertioidal and suicidal bill , merits tho severest _puaishmeat sanctioned by the _constitution and custom of the country . ; your petitioners , therefore , request your honourable house to reject tbis infamous bill , and to take suoh measures as are required for" the impeachment of _thetmlnisttrs , and your petitioners , as in duty hound , will ever pray .

O'Connor , jwith respect to the lata demonstration on _ K . ennw . awon Common , is the theuie , of universal admiration of rus countrymen in thia metropolis , and on whom he can rely . The dastardly conduct of Mr J . O'Connell in the house of misrepresentation— ' that there was no union between the Repealers and the Chartists , will be ably and effectively refuted by the meetings that are to bs held in London , when the lie direct will be given te him , and he will be compelled to eat the leek . . .
Cdrban Club . — On Sunday evening last a crowded meeting of this truly democratic club was held at the * Green Man . ' _Betwick-atreet , Ms Edward Glass ( an English gentleman ) in the chair . The speech of Mr W . S . O'Brien against the Whig Gaggin « Bill was read from the Northers Stab , and the full and able report of that gentleman ' s speech in that journal gave universal satisfaction . There was scarcely a person present who had not a Stab in hia hand to light him to freedom ' s shores . —The Chairman , on opening the business of the _evening , said that it was the bounden duty of all Irishmen to rally round those patriots who were waiting to be tried . They had opened a subscription list in that room for the purpose of assisting those gentlemen in their defence against the prosecution ef the AU
gerine Whigs . ( Cheers . ) The gagging bill would have no terrors . He hoped the time was not far distant when the sovereignty of the people wonld triumph all over the world . ( Cheers . )—Mr J . Ringrose ( an old veteran in the cause of Ireland ' s nationality , and over whose brow nearly eighty summers have passed ) next addressed the meeting , and read an extract from the Tablet , show _, ing the patriotism that existed in Italy , and said the same feeling animated his countrymen . They would send over tcmovrow five pounds ti the defence fund . They must show the dastardly Whit's that they , the Irish people , were not to be daunted by their anti-English _prosecutions . Mr R . _Hussey then rose , and moved the followinp resolution : — ' That we , the members ofthe' Carran '
Confederate Club , oi the Irish Confederation in London , view with indignation and disgust , the treacherous and hostile conduct of T . C . Ansley , Esq ., M . P ., for Toughall , _asezhibited by certain language reported to have been employed by him in respect to the Whig Gagging Bill , and to the exterminating quarter acre clause . We , therefore , consider him unworthy the confidence ' of any party of _I'ishm * nespecially tbe members of too Confederation—and we call on the council of that body to expel him from the Association , and dismiss him from the position of Inspector of Confederates in England . ' —Mr T Reynolds said , he seconded the resolution with great p leasure ; there was a feeling among the higher classes , that they alone could rule , and among them Mr Anstey was to he found . Their cry was that the working classes were ignorant — when a _, t the _s _^ m * time they did everything to perpetuate if possible that ignorance , ; _Hewasi-orry to say that the bulk of the Irish
members were traitors to their _oountry . — Mr Anstey had promised the electors of Youghal , that if returned , his sole object would be to benefit Ireland , but his votes in the Parliament were in complete contradiction of what he had stated on the hustings . Such men as Mr Amtey must be taught that they must not play with the liberties of the people . —Mr Scott supported the resolution . —The resolution was carried unanimously . — Mr Moore said , they must _organise London , and forma penny subscription . From the Irish in the Metropolis at one penny per head—they would have £ 108 per week towards the Defence fund . Mr Moore then passed a high _eulogium on the conduct ofthe Confederates at the meeting on Kenningtou Common—Mr John Sturgeon ( Down ) addressed the meeting at _eeme _hngth as regarded the growing feeling in favour of Repeal in the North of Ireland . —A report of the late Repeal meeting at Belfast was read amid loud cheers . —The meeting was then _adjonf-ned .
The Hosest Jack _Lawiess _Ciub—A large meeting of the members of thia club was held on Monday evening la _^ t _. in the Working Man ' s Temperance Hall , _Carteret-street , Westminster . Mr Martin Bailey in the chair . The speeches of Mr W . S _, O'Brien and Mr F . O'Connor , against the Whig Gagging Bill , were read from the Northern Star , as also the letter of Mr J . Mitchel to Lord Juhn Russell , from the TJiutrd Irishman . The Chairman said he was still determined to apeak and to agitate , not only for his rights as an Irishman , but for the nationality of his fatherland . —Mr Henry Tilt ( an English gentleman ) _ssid he did not think it necessary to arm in England , but he entertained a different view of tha matter with respect to Ireland . He then give a clear and distinct review of the
difference between the past , - present , and future stato of Ireland , and sat down much applauded —Mr T . R . Reading then addressed the meeting at great length , and moved a resolution condemnatory of the parliamentary conduct of T . C . Anstey . Esq ., M . P ., for which see report ef the Carran Club . —Mr _Mylea _M'Sweeney sec nded the resolution and said , he could not account forthe extraordinary conduct of Mr Anstey , who had turned so suddenly round in favour of the government which he had , such a short time back , opposed with such virulence . —Mr Rich . _Hussey , in Bpeaking to the resolution , reviewed the conduct of the Irish representatives in parliament , and said that the government would fail in putting down Chartism in England and Repeal in Ireland . He then alluded to the conduct of Lord Clarendon
and Col . Brown , on _sendine * spies among the people to buy pikes . The press of England had done everything to hound on the government and the middle classes against the Chartists and Ireland . The Northers Star , is the only honest paper in London , for it was on the side of justice and the people . There should now be no distinction between Irishmen , let them unite and watch their would-be leaders . What could they think of the man who could offer his hand to haH Mr Smith _O'Brirn , and afterwards pursue a line of conduct in Parliament to destroy him ? The resolution was carried unanimously . Several other persons having addressed the meeting , and several others paid in their . subscriptions , the meeting was then adjourned . Crowded meetings were held at the Davis Club on Wednesday and Friday , the 12 tband 14 th inst ., and also on Monday last . Similar meetings were also held at Wapping , MarylebDne , & e .

Several Englishmen took an active part in the debate , and when put to the vote the original question was carried unanimously , there not being one dissentient in an assembly of nearly 150 persons . The _question for discussion on next Sunday , is « Whether the Charter or _Teetotaliam are most likely to benefit tte p ople V
*> l . i l Ths Sheffield Repealers . —The usual weekly meeting of . the United Repealers was held on Sunday evening last , in the large room of tha Stag Inn . Mr M'Evoy in Ibe chair . The room was crowded tc _^ suffocation . The following resolution was moved bj Mr C .

Chartism And Cheap And Poplii Government...
CHARTISM AND CHEAP AND _POPlii GOVERNMENT . uru i _* AIl 10 THE BDITOR OF THE KOBTHBRK 8 _TAR .. Sib . —May I avail myself of your columns total , *' my thanks , as one of 'the middle classes' t 0 _Slf _FeaTgus O'Connor particularly , and the members r the National Convention generally , for the conral tempered by discretion , which , on the 10 th of _/ _Q ??» bo thoroughly defeated the bloodthirsty anticinaS of tho 'base , bruta l , a « d bloody' Whigs . _PersonX I have to thank them for the conversion wrought m n » y own sentiments , by the dignified _language ofthn National Petition , and the firm attitude and most exemplary forbearance of the countless masses wha assembled on thst day to testify their adherence _* Jl
to do honour to tne sacred Charter of their future liberties . I hasten , therefore , to enrol myself a sin . cere , and ardent , and , I trust , also , an ener getic " and not wholly useless , partisan of the People ' s Charter . In that character , will ? you allow rue sir to impress upon the Chartists generally , but more especially upon their recognised leaders , the vital and urgent necessity of removing , with all possible speed , and by all available means , every obstacle which presents itself to a complete union and amalgamation of the trading and industrious classes , and to an absolute fusion of their interests and exertions .
It appears to me an essential condition for the achievement of this great object , to disabuse the minds of the trading classes of the unfortunate delu . sions and misapprehensions , under whieh they la . _bour , aa to the eorrect principles and objects of the Chartists ; and as to tbe means by which they propose te a : tain their ends . The press , whieh would appear to be the natural organ of the mutual good _understanding of these classes , whose interests are in reality one and indivisible , ii , I regret to say , the main instrument of the disunion whieh has made them and keeps them staves , and is the great fosterer of all the reciprocal doubts , jealousies , and suspicions , by which that unhappy disunion is perpetuated . In fact , the daily prea _« ,. hi which alone the , trading classes in tbe metropolis , at least , can be
thoroughly imbued with a sound knowledge and true appreciation of tbe principles and views of the Chartists , as identical with their own best interests , is emphatically , and to the very core , corrupt . It is aa much the bAre _3 servant of the privileged classes , ai their footmen or their valets ; and obeysthe orders of its masters with a cringing and lickspittle servility , which would distinguish above his compeers the biggest-calved and most-beflonred ' Jenkins' in Belgrave-Bquare , Hence , sir , the coolness , or , worse still ; the open hostility , manifested by the middle classes in London towards the Chartists . They are to be pitied , rather than blamed ; ' poor souls , they speak but as they are taught . ' Be ours , then , the task to enlighten them , and teach them to behold in the industrious millions , not merely their warmest friends , but their best customers .
For this purpose , sir , a daily eipenent of Chartist opinions , is of instant and indispensable necessity ; and I would respectfully urge on Mr Feargus O'Connor , the increased claim on the gratitude and devotion of his countrymen , whioh he would derive from the establishment of such an organ . I further venture to submit to you , Bir , the sound policy of encouraging the interchange and communion of opinions amongst the now dissevered classes Chartism has everything to gain , and nothing to lose , by such _didonssions . Truth is great and must prevail ; and the causa of cheap and popular government , founded on the rookof truth , and appealing equally to the reason , the feelings , and the interests of the people , must erer gain additional adherents . I _proposejit once to establish an association to be
called' The Westminster Cheap and Popular Government Association ; ' the objects of which _shali be , to give reality and vitality to the constitutional fiction ofthe Sovereignty of the People ; ' and , aa a means to an end , ' to promote , in the first place , a mutual good understanding and close union between the Chartists and ? ll the other aggrieved and oppressed claasesof the community . As there is bat little time to be spared , I beg to say that if half a dozen only oi your metropolitan readers will convey to me , by letter , their adhesion to my proposition , I will convene a meeting of my correspondents , at which I will explain the details of my views and plans . Repeating , sir , the vowof unqualified fidelity to the Chartist cause , at whatever amount of personal responsibility and pe il I may incur in the vindication of „ my faith I have the honour to be
, Your most obedient servant , N . Forester _Eowards 4 , Francis-place , _Westminster , April 18 , 1848 .
Iv 'Fllwimirtff Mwii'nwwfwbbeq The Prost...
IV _'fllWimirtff _MWII'nWWfWBBEQ THE PROSTITUTE PRESS . The following are a few specimens of the latest lies and calumnies directed against the Chartists by the infamous press : —
( From the Examiner . ) The Chartist assemblage was short of the crowd always to be collected to see a boxing-match or a _eoek-Dgbt . If Mr Feargus O'Connor had given out tbat on the 10 th of April he would , at one o ' clock in tho afternoon , jump into a quart bottle , he would have collected ten times the number of people to witness in due course the postponement of the ex . ploit . The largest calculation gives 20 , 600 to the meeting of Monday , and boys made a large portion of that number . As another considerable portion must have been the marauders of London , it is clear that the bulk ef the London Chartists have no disposition to commit themselves to the chances of involvement in outrage .
Those who complain of the military and other preparations held in reserve , may be assured that such preparations will always be provided to _maet illegal violence , and crush it in its onset , but that there is also in the minds of the classes resolved to support the laws of the settled resolution , in the event of extreme necessity , not to trifle with the exigency , and to exercise such vigour in repression of tumult as to bring it most shortly to an end . True policy and true humanity council this course , and if the guardians of the peace find themselves compelled to resort to the last means of defence against armed aggression , they will take eare to do so effectually , and so that the stress of the chastisement shall fall on the foremost in the wickedness .
( From the Morning Chronicle of Monday . ) We observe by the Sunday papers that the con _« _grenation of demented persons calling themselves * The National Convention , ' have not yet' quit the metropolis , ' and that they assembled again yesterday jn their usual place of meeting , the Literary Institution , John-street , Fifzroy-square . This is accounted fer , not by any error of tho "Vagrant Act , but by tbe fact that each of the delegates is paid seven shillings per diem out of the Chartist fund during the sittings of the Convention—one of the advantages to be derived by the community from the fourth point of the Charter when it becomes the law of the land—namely , the * Payment of Members . '
Poor Tom Hood , in prefiguring a House of Commons under the Charter , describes the honourable member for _Battersea rising in his place , after a long debate on the culture of mangel _wtiizel , telling tbe Speaker that they had sat long enough for that day , and calling on him to give them their wages . The concluding proceedings are thus described by the witty reporter : — The Speaker to the _Treasor ? r for funds at once applied , And at the sight ef money there arose oa every side Oae universal clamour of ' divide , ' ' divide , ' . ' divide . ' It is more than suspected that the deafness of the Convention Speaker on this ' point' has led to these prolonged sittings of the ' dolly gates , ' as Mr Adams calls them . There is a committee , called the Finance Committee , belonging to the body , that had not yet reported , although its report has been frequently inquired about , and now ill-natured people
are beginning to observe that this committea is the Mrs Harris of the Convention . If thi 3 be true , we no longer wonder at their being loth to depart , ' and still less are we surprised that tbey should endeavour to fill up their time by the very plausible pretext of abusing the London newspapers . The Chartist delegates have now discovered that the defeat of their designs on Monday last , whatever those designs were , is entirely owing to the London press Thus it is , that a drunken , disorderly harlot , in the dock , when sentenced to the treadmill , hurls her dirty shoe at the head of the magistrate , orach > cumyented burglar en his way to the station-house plungesi his 'jemmy' into the skull of the policeman ! It is the nature of wasps . ! says some great authority , 'to retua their buzz after they have lost their wing j and it is natural enough that the geese of the ! _1 _?! f _„ 8 hould °° _ntinue to gabble after they had le ( t the Common , *
( From the Sunday Times . ) \ T / - hare said that Monday last was a day of which _England , has every reason to feel proud . It haa proved i hat the mighty fabric of our political and our social system reposes upon foundations ioostron _? , too firm , to ° sa _^< to ° deeply imbedded in the hearts and affectioi , " ° _f * , e P flople of this country—again we say tbe _i-bop ' l * aa contra-distinguished from the mob —to ba even _« i ' when _for a moment by tbose insurrectionary storms t hat have sufficed to sweep away the lighter and more « ard-work structures of our continental neighbours ; * * It is time that the _executive should at enee * bere as _we" ss in Ireland ted itfor the
