She seemed extremely snrprised at the announcement , and ex-Claimed , «• ' That she had been unjustly tried and convicted , which her unfeeling husband could prove . He could unravel the whole of the circumstances relative to the murder , and if he told the truth it -would exculpate her from any partici pation iu the dreadful crime . " She seemed rather excited , at first , but afterwards put her hand to her face and cned bitterly . The chaplain exhorted her to employ the few remaining hours she had to live in prayer and ropntjuice , and implored her to make a full
confess . *!; of the crime of which she was convicted . She asseriea that she was not the party who committed -lie murder , and she had nothing to confess . It is , however , believed , that now she finds there a noho ? a for her , she will make some statement before lit * execution , and that she will have an interview -shh her husband . The latter has several femes expressed his anxiety to see her , which has teen crmmiuuicated to her .

( i-. oiu our ThirdEditionof Last Week . ) Impoeta . ni Discmscbes . —Some very important disclosures have come to light within the hist two days relative to the murder of Patrick O ' Connor , ¦ wh ich vriil remove all doubt as to the guilt of the Mrnnr . i- ~» . The male prisoner has acknowledged that ± -: pistols used to commit the horrid deed were those f' -nsd in the possession of Adams , the pawnbroker , of Bermondsey-street , hut that tradesman eould not swear as to the party who pledged them , although he was in attendance at the Southwark Police Court . He ( Manning ) asserts that his wife loaded botli pistols , and having shot O'Connor with one , presented the other at him , threatening to serve him the same wav unless he assisted her .
The statement relative to the pistols corroborates Mr . Xodiwood ' opinion . Manning also has stated that the t&jlUes taken from the muriewd man were all burnt in the back kitchen , with his private memorandums and some rags . Manning declares that the grave hi the back-kitchen had been du » so early as May last , and the murder had been contemplated siuce then , but some how or other his wife could not muster courage enough to commit the deed until the evening of fie 9 th of August A shutter belonging to the back-kitchen was placed over the hole covered with a carpet , and O'Connor must have several times walked over hi 3 "rave in going to the sink to wash his hands , as wasins custom prior io partaking of dinner at Manning ' s house On Friday afternoon Mr .

FOKEIGX INTELLIGENCE ( Frcrn our Third Edition of last week . ) DISMISSAL OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY * The -Mialstry hare resigned en masse , and the following new appointments are made : —General d'HautiiooL Minister of war ; M . Achille Fould Hnance : M . Rouber , Justice ; M . Ferdinand Barrot , Home Department ; M . A . de Bayneval , the Minister at Naples , Foreign Aflairs ; M . Dumas , Commerce and Agriculture ; M . de Earrien , Public Instruction and Worship ; Admiral Bpmaio Dt&fosses , Marine and Colonies : M Bineau , Public Works ; General d'Hautpoul is charged , < id interim , in the absence of M . de Baynevai , with the Portfolio of Foreign Affairs ; All the above belong to the majority of the Legislative AM-jmWy . Legislative Assembly , Oct . 31 . —The President Of the Asseinblyread the following message from the President of the Republic .
" Elyeee , Oct . 31 . " Monsieur le President—In the grave circumstances in which we find ourselves , the accordance which ought to exist between the different powers of the state cannot be maintained , unless , animated by mutual confidence , they explain their views openly to each other . To give an example of that sincerity , I now make known to the Assembly the reasons which , have determined me to change the Ministry , and to separate myself from men whose eminent services lam gratified to proclaim , and io whom I have vowed friendship and gratitude . " To consolidate the Republic , menaced on so many sides by anarchy , to assure order more efficaciously iliaa has hitherto been the case , to uphold abroad ( a 1 ' t . tterieur ) the name of France at the
height of her fame—men are required who , animated by a patriotic devotion , understand the necessity of united and firm action , and a clearly defined line of policy , whieh will not compromise the government ( lepouvoir ) by any act of irresolution , who will have a care of my responsibility as well as of their own , and pay attention to acts as well as words . ( Great agitation . ) " For more than a year I have given proofs enough of sbnegation to remove all doubts as to my veritable intentions . "Without a grudge towards any individuality , against any party , I gave access to power to men of the most opposite opinnions , but without obtaining the happy reaults which I expected from that combination { rapprochement ) . Instead of an amalgamation of shades of opinion . I obtained only a neutralisation of
powers . "Unity of action was barred ; a spirit of conciliation was regarded as weakness . Scarcely were the dangers of the street over , when parties raised tlieir colours , and gave vent anew to their old rivalries , spreading alarm and disquietude through the country . 3 " In the midst of this confusion , France , uneasy , not seeing any guiding power , seeks the hand , the will , the flag of the elected of the 10 th of December . That will cannot be manifested without a perfect community of action , of ideas , views , and convictions between the President and his Ministers , and -unless the Assembly associates itself to the national thought , of which the election of the Executive power was the expression .
' A whole system triumphed on the 10 th December , for the name of Napoleon is a programme In Itself . It means—order , authority , religion , welfare of tLe people at home , the national dignity abroad . It is the triumph of that policy , inaugurated by my election , which I seek , with the support of the Assembly and of the people . I wi ? h to be worthy of rbc confidence of the nation , by maintaining the Constitution to which I have sworn . I wish to inspire in the country , by my loyalty , my perseverance , and toy firmness , such confidence as to give new Ufa to business , and hope in the future .
"Thcleiterofthe Constitution has doubtless a great influence upon the destinies of a country ; but the manner iu -which it is interpreted has , perhnps , a for greater one . The longer or shorter duration of a gyvovuiuenfc contributes , doubtless , greatly to the stability of public afiairs ; but it is also by ideas and by principles that the government knows how to re-assure society . * ' Let us , then , raise up again authority , without causing alarm to real liberty . Let us calm anxietv by boldly curbing bad passions , and by giviu <» a useful direction to all noble instincts . ° " Let us consolidate the principle of religion , without abandoning anything of the conquests of
the revoiurion ; and we will save the country , in despite of factions , ambitious men , and even of those imperfections which may exist in our institutions . " LocisNapoixox Bosaparte . " ThePnEsiDESx : A posteript is added . It runs thus : —* ' A supplement of the Moruteur will give this evening the names of the new Ministry . " ( Loud laughter at the names not being announced . ) The Assembly then rose in great agitation at six o ' clock . Pabi 3 , Thcbsday . —Last night crowds assembled in the Boulevardseager to see the President ' s letter , but no popular demonstration took place , nor was there any appearance of disturbance .
FATAL DISTURBANCE Ef TREflDAD . On the 1 st of October the people assembled in front of the government-house to demand an abrogation of the lav , that persons sent to prison for small debts should be treated as criminals . As the governor ' s carriage passed through the crowd it was pelted with stones , which proceedings bein » continued , the Riot Act was read , and , the mob refusing to disperse , the order to fire was « nven to the . military , and- carried into fatal effect killing and wounding several .

He said that although the Chartist agitation might hiL ) u ° ? r nt for the last ei 5 hteen mont H yet SiSf "" I * confid <» ce In the honesty intelligence , and energy of the industrious classes , to rtf ; rt tba 1 i , P ' itof Ch »« sm was defunct in their breasts . ( Hear . ) So long as the working ST ! M , ^ P ° y the tyranny of a despicable and vile oligarchy-so W M 4 B millions to
naa toil , in order to maintain a few favoured mortals m luxurious sloth aad voluptuous indolence wi + n ^ ng * -l P ** 1 with ei ght shillings a week hadto contabutethe sweat of Sis brow , and the SL P 0 rt i l 0 f hls ? canty wage , to that scandalous taxation which sustained the pampered oligarchyso long as all the fruits of the earth were monopo-2 ? . ^ y ^^ tecratic minority , while starvation was the doom of the producers of all the luxuries , elegance , and comforts of life-so long as such an infamous andatrocious system as this was in existence , the spirit of Chartism never would die . ( Immense applause . ) What , then , did it behove the working ± ^ £ * t He would tell them . They must
. _ resuscitate the Chartist agitation-not that agitation in which there was to be talk of pikes and pistoh ,. Wood and violence : but a legal , peaceful , and constitutional agitation , based upon the strength ? kaJU 8 $ Ca ? . t' cawed out by moral means . ( Cheers . ) At the same time Mr . Reynolds would not counsel any motement which should become antagonistic to the agitation instituted bv the Aational Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . Iso : it must be a movement which would run conveniently with the other , until the mission of that middle-class association should have ceased ; and then the Chartists would continue their own elorious andmarmanimnna
struggle , until all their wrongs were redressed and all their rights rescued from usurpation andtyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Eeynolds then proceeded to pass a high eulogium upon Sir Joshua Walmealey as the leader of the Middle-class movement , and likewise upon Mr . O'Connor , who was the staunch , unflinching , and able leader of the working-class movement . He then expatriated at great length , upon the infamous system of taxation , —showing how we paid £ 50 , 000 a year to Prince Albert , although the Queen was already enormously rich ; £ 100 , 000 a year to Queen Adelaide—a German woman who had no sympathies with the people , and with whom the people had no sympathies eitherand all the scandalous pensions which were
received by thearistocratic leeches and blood-suckers who boasted their descent from the shameless females who sold their charms to Charles the second . ( Loud applause . ) Mr . Reynolds then touched upon the points in the People's Charter , showing how unjust it was to deprive millions of men of the right of franchise , and yet calling upon them to obey those laws which they had no share in the making , and to pay those taxes which they took no part in levying . Were the aristocracy and the government wis ft they would yield Universal SunWe as a matter of prudence . The people would then become the true source of power , and any government which they raised up would be one of their choice .
They would not quarrel with it ; and as to the idea of ever being goaded to that state of desperation which would prompt them to take up arms against it--such a thought was ridiculous . ( Hear . ) But so long as the suflra ^ e was denied , the people were discontented , and armies were required to keen them in " order . " Lord John Russell had declared that the people were too ignorant to exercise the franchise wisely . This was a foul calumny . The millions possessed a more sterling intelligence than the aristocracy—the true intelligence of the country , in fact , resided amongst those who were the artificers and the producers of all luxuries—all works of science and art , and all things necessary to sustain or embellish existence . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho , it was not
the ignorance of the working classes that was dreaded : it was their intelligence . For the oligarchy knew full well that , with a true representation of the national mind , all the hideous abuses which now appeared like plague-spots upon the social system would Speedily be swept away . Mr . Reynolds then proceeded to show that a knowledge of social rights and social duties accompanies the extension of political privileges ; and that , in order to change all the semi-barbarian laws and usages which now affect the social condition , political reform must be obtained . He concluded a long and argumentative speech , by calling upon the working classes to do their duty , and join in the new agitation which was now commencing , and sat down amidst loud and prolonged applause .
Mr . O'Coiwor rose , and was most enthusiastically cheered . He said : Once upon a time , an English aristocrat was making a tour through the States of America upon horseback . He called late one night at a country inn , when all the servants had gone to bed . He hallooed out " Ostler , ostler , ostler ! " till at last the ostler roused from his slumher , threw up the window , and , popping out his head , exclaimed , "What are you calling tor ? " " I want my horse put up , " was the reply . "Does he kick ? " asked the ostler . " jSV "Does he bite ? " asked the ostler . "No . " "Then put him up yourself : the
more you calls the more I won't come . " ( Laughter . ) Well , the appeal of the chairman to the gentlemen of the press to come upon the platform reminded him of the American ostler—as , the more the chairman calls , ' the more they won * t come . " But let them uot mind that ; although the ear of the world was not there , the lug of the Home Office was amongst them . ( Cheers , and "Ay ! " ) And to-morrow Sir George Grey and his associate * would hear what was said , and what was not said , from their spies and detectives ; hut , however , they were of importance as reporters , as the resolution of government would bebased
upon their co-operation , rather than upon the value set upon it by the press . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Reynolds had reminded them of the great importance attached to the solution of the social question at John-Street , last night , by one of their former leaders ; and he ( Mr . O'Connor ) believed that every man there sufficiently understood the fact , that the Charter was meant as the political meanB , and the profitable cultivation and equitable distribution of national wealth , as the social end . ( Cheers . ) Yes , and if he attempted critically to analyse the exact social benefit that each class or each trade would
denve from the PEOPLE'S CHAETER , the ignorance of Troth class and tra 4 e would create such a diversity of opinion as would , lead to their utter annihilation . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho never did attempt , and he never would attempt , to define what the Charter would do for all , beyond this—that it would cause a just representation of the majority . If he said to a mechanic hi good employment , go upon the land , the mechanic would laugh at him ; so with the ihoemaker , so with all other trades that didn't understand the benefit , that the employment of now idle labourers would confer upon them ; so with " the tailor , he foolishly SUODOses that hn ftan nrih nn »
cabbage from the lapboard than from the Land . He would analyse it for them . The mechanic who did not use the spade , a shovel , < trake , a hoe , or any other instrument made by his labour , would receive much more wages if there was a general national , instead of a capricious speculative demand for his kbaur . ( Cheers . ) So with the shoemaker , so with the tailor , and so with all who had an objection to the Land . Let him ask them if the mino of man could invent anything more ridiculous than our present system ? Here we had every one puzzled law to
fw ! f V ^ , ' S d e ? e ^ expected understand the law . For instance ; a young fellow went from school to college at seventeen ; Se went fromA ? Tem P le at twen * y he went from the Temple to a conveyancer ' s office for two years after he Was called to the bar ; he was tS twcny-nYe , andhad been eight years learning £ law ; he was considered a junior , whose Wai opinion was not worth a farthing for ten year ? ffi ! then thirty-five years of age . Well then wm / Sm they think of the absurdity of its i-eoSShtS years study , and the man to StfSSSiSwS of age , to explam the- law , while a JSSg 3
Untitled Article
from Cambridge . or Oxford , of twenty-one years of age , was elected member of parliament , and coniidered capable of making and amending the law ? ( Loud cheers . ) Would it be possible for him to ; ive a better definition of the capability of our present law makers ? The House consisted 01666 members ; he would place 630 of those upon a platform , before a meeting of intelli gent working men , and not a single working man would understand a single sentence they delivered . ( Cheers . ) Well , that was the system by which they were ruled and governed , and it was to break down that system that he ( Mr . . O'Connor ) had struggled for twentyseven years , and to effect which he now sought to resuscitate the Chartist soirit . . . .
Loud cheers . ) When the government had dipped ; he wings of Chartism by the brutal persecution of its leaders , they hoped that it would be a helpless fluttering bird ; but , as he told them before , he repeated now , for every feather plucked from their wine they would find ten to replace it , and he wa s more than rejoiced at the pleasure of their friend Mr Reynolds' co-operation . ( Cheers . ) That gentleman hftd told them that he ( Mr . O Connor ) stood alone in the House of Commons ; be did nearly so but if he stood alone he would still advocate their principles . Loud cheers . ) It is true that he was" boo'd " and " baa'd " in the House of Commons . It is true that one of the oldest members in the House told him ( Mr . O ' Connor ) after the 10 th of AmT Lffi 85
beeni thirty-eight years in the House of Commons , and that he remembered the time when he would have been ordered from the House to the Tower , and there beheaded , for the speech that he ( Mr O' Connor ) made . ( Loud cheers , ) If , however , the will of the people cannot be fairly and judiciously represented mthe House , it must be done so fervently and enthusiastically . ( Cheers . ) They were now endeavouring to modify the old system , and as far as taxation went , let him show the manner in which young gentlemen were still living , under the old system , upon their labour . When he was at school here were three boys in his class , the eldest not itarteen , and all officers in the army upon full pay . Shouts of " Shame ! " ) Well . thosA aonHemzn
never heard a shot fired , and are still upon half-pay . But he would take them to a lower standard of age . At one time the political power of the Beresfords , in Ireland , was capable of effecting anything . In those days the names , or the intended names of children , before they were born , were gazetted for commissions in the army . So great was the cravings of the Beresfotds , the Lord-Liutenant told them , that if they got Ireland for a domain they would want the Isle of Man for a potato garden . . Roars of laughter . ) Well , in those good old days dord Cathcart was commander-in-chief of the orce 8 , and upon a tour of inspection he nllelUd himwlfupon Lord Beresford ' s hospitality , Lord Beresford was from- home , but her ladyship
entertained him . After dinner the General , knowing that several Beresfords were appointed to commissions in the army , said , " My lady , I should wish to see the young warriors . " Her ladyship went out of the room and , from the bottom of the stairs , called out to the nurse , " Nurse , take the Captain ' s cradle out of the Major ' s room , as he is teething , and when the Colonel wakes dress him in his regimentals , the General wishes to Bee him . " ( Roars of laughter that continued for several minutes . ) Well , continued Mr . O'Connor , that is not all , the said Lady Beresford called upon the Lord Lieutenant on another occasion to look for some office for herself ; when his Excellency , overpowered by such application , observed . " Unon mv
soul I don't know what to do—I do not know of a single vacancy , except a Majority in a Dragoon regiment . " " It ' s the very thing of all others that I should like , replied her ladyship , and she was gazetted as Mrs . Major Beresford . ( Renewed laughter . ) Let him now explain to them one of the greatest absurdities of the present age , and for the abolition of which the People ' s Charter contended . He explained it in the House of Commons , but he would also explain it to them—it was the absurdity of Property Qualification . There sat Lord John Russell—the first Minister of the Crown , and representative of the wealthiest city in the world , who only required £ 300 a-year to qualify him-nextto mm sat the representative or a bankrupt Irish
county , who must have £ 600 a-year as a qualification—next to him sat the disinherited prodigal son of a Peer , he required no qualification—next to him sat the depraved , and dissolute , and , perhaps , disinherited eldest son of a qualified gentleman , herequired no qualification—and next to him sat a Scotch member who required no property qualification . ( Cheers , and shouts of "Shame . " ) Let him now describe how property qualification was measured as regards a party serf , and as regards an inindependent member . In 1832 he was returned for his native country by an overwhelmin " majority . He was qualified . In 1835 he was returned again , but , in the mean time , ho had become very obnoxious to the different factions in
the House , and they had become very hostile to him . When he was returned he was in receipt ofover £ 6 , 000 a year from his profession , his profits as a farmer , and his landed income , and he did not owe a fraction . The smallest portion , £ 375 a year , he had for life , the largest portion he had for 9999 years , and a very large portion upon three lives , renewable for ever ; but the £ 375 a year that he had for life ^ the worst property he had , and which would more than have qualified Lord John Russell—was all that wa 3 held to be good , and he was unseated . ( Shouts of" Shame . " ) Well , he had given up , or spent upon the advocacy of their cause , every fraction of that income — ( cheers )—and from that fact alone they would be able to judge of his sincerity .
ae did not agitate tromthe same motive that other men did . He had an uncle in the fifty-first year of his banishment , who sacrificed not ten , but twenty thousand a year , and a peerage , rather than abandon the people ' s cause . ( Cheers . ) His father had been prematurely hurled to the cold grave for no other crime ; Mb two surviving brothers were obliged to fly their country , in consequence of the odium attached to their principles ; the one was now the wealthiest man in New South Wales , the other the wealthiest man in South America ; and there he ( Mr . O'Connor ) stood as the only remaining man of that persecuted family , not seeking vengeance , but satisfaction for their oppression , and that he could never achieve except through the
enfranchisement of the people . ( Loud cheering and waving of hats , that continued for a considerable time . ) Look at the pale faces that he saw around him , and think of the ruddy cheeks of those that lived upon their blood . ( Cries of "Ay . " ) Let him show the difference between slave labour and free labour ; the free labourer—no matter what the drudgery of his occupation may be if he is a solicitor , a barrister , a merchant , a banker , or a shopkeeper—he will sit till midnight over- the flickering lamp , in the hope of realising in youth wherewithal to live independently in old age , while they—and no blame to them—Work sparingly and grudgingly at their slave labour , because they knew that however penuriously they live , the bastile must be their refuge in
old age . ( Cheers , and shouts ot " It's true . " ) Ay , but the man upon his own land would work sixteen or eighteen hours a day during summer , and at some other avocation in winter , to secure a sufficiency whereon to live in old age . ( Loud cheers . ) Now that was the difference between free labour and slave labour ; thoone sweetened the breatl of life , the other soured it . ( Loud cheers . ) The situation of the ill paid Dorchester agricultural labourer was" paraded by free traders and manufacturers as a contrast with the condition of the Lancashire and Yorkshire operatives . But if life is sweet , let him fairly illustrate it for them . The average of life in Dorsetshire was 53 years ; in many of the manufacturing districts it was 28 . Then , was not the operative who had been thus prematwelv
made old , emitted to a sufficient remuneration for the labour of his youth , to live in comfort in his old age ? ( Cheers . ) The race horse , who had run his sweating race , made to live in an artificial state , and had become old at five , represented the operative . while the dull plough horse , that was younger ai twenty-five , represented the agricultural abonrer . - ¦ ( Cheers . ) Now that was the system that he bad laboured constantly and assiduously to break down , and that was the system that never would be broken down so long as the power of the few was based upon the disunion and jealousy of the many . ( Loud cheers . ) In the beginnin g of next month there was to be a metropolitan Conference held in London , he understood that last night ,, ( Tuesday , ) and without his knowledge , he had been elected as one of the members for Marylebone , to that Conference ,- ( loud cheers , ) - and he attached much
as importance and honour to his seat for Marylebone , in the Conference , as he did to his seat in the House of Commons . ( Great cheering . ) They ^ ould be called upon that night to elect sound and discreet men tlUS sentthem , andhe relied upon their sagacity to do so ThatConferen ^^ interests than the metropolitan members did in the House of Commons , and they would announce a programme for future action to the country He had only one more duty to perform- th » , h « ih . News said that he ( Mr . O'Connor Was the Zf elected "father of Wism , " and as he wi hed them to be his legitimate children , and ^ no hi s illegitimate children , he would do as he dd at Brighton , take a show of hands as to the reSoS ship that existed between them , and , therefore he would ask all who considered him to be their \ & mate father to hold up both hands . ( Heii eSy hand was held up , amidst the most enthusiastic ^ cheering . ) After which . Mr . O'CwHE ??
now he had a larger family than King Prum the only different being that many of U " cMWren were older than himself . ( Groat cheering and fe f ^ T 1 } eU' £ usiasm a ^ their devotion their love , their confidence and affection had dragged the grey hairs from his head , hadfarmed hisTieart , and strengthened his nerves he fS young as ever , and although once disconsolate he again repeated :-Awat iSou babblino mS Fearg us is himself aoais ! Mr . O ' Connor £ ' conded the resolution . [ It would be CSle to

describe the enthusiasm created by Mr . O'Connor ' s speech , who resumed his seat '" amid the most deafening enthusiasm . ] : Mr . Thomas Clabk , in moving the second resolution , observed , the duty which has been assigned me is purely of a business character , but before entering upon the immediate object of the resolution , I will take leave to make a few observations respecting the kind of a movement which I am anxious to see established . ( Hear . ) In- the first place , then , it is necessary that it should be clearly and distinctly understood , that the movement which we are entering upon here this evening , is not intended io play an antagonistic part towards any other movement , the objects of which are of a laudable - .. .... ,. „_ .
kind . ( Cheera . ) SpeaKmg for myself , I am bound to observe , that I care not who may be the men engaged in a cause—I care not to what clas 3 they may belong—if their objects be good , then they shall have my sympathy , and my support . Men are not to be judged by classes , but by actions , and to me it appears that in the future we must have less of class and more of man . ( Cheers . ) I have no sympathy for bad men of any class , and my experience has taught me that my own class—the working class—abounds in bad as well as in good men . ( Hear , and cheers . ) ¦ I assert it as a fact , and one , too , which you must all know to be true , that the great cause which we are here to serve has no worse enemies than are to be found in the lowest
ranks of labourers . ( Hear . ) And why is it so ?—from the same reason that we have opposition from other quarters—it is because they are ignorant . ( Hear , hear . ) It is this ignorance which is our real enemy , and it is to intelligence alone that we must look for its destruction . ( Cheers . ) I am , therefore , solicitous to witness the establishment of an agitation which , disregarding the distinction of class , shall bo distinguished by intelligence , energy , and tolerance . These to me appear to be the elements necessary for success , and without which triumph will not ho ours . ( Hear . ) There is one matter to which , with your permission , I will call attention . Allusion has been made , most disparagingly , by my friend Mr . Reynolds , in the course
ot his truly eloquent speech to the Peace Congress , and to the-objects of the peace party generally , and as I entertain the highest respect for that party in the main , and approve cordially of their objects , the meeting will not be astonished at my dissent from what has been advanced against them . ( Hear . ) I regard armies and wats as the scourge and curse of mankind , and 1 do not believe even that we should have ^ republic to . mourn , that perfect liberty could exist contemporaneously with a standing army . ( Hear . ) Armies have been from the earliest dawn of the worlds history down to the present moment , thegreat instruments by which the enslavement Of nations has been effected and perpetuated , and , therefore , I am for the overthrow of those armies which
at present curse the world in various ways . ( Cheers . ) Look at France at this moment and answer me , who are its veritable governors ? The Algerine butchers , who by the aid of the army of France , have almost crushed that Republic , as they have already destroyed the Republic of Rome . ( Cheers . ) 1 will confess that I am not so sanguine as to expect that the objects of Mr . Cobden and his friends of the peace party , will be realized in my life time . I do not think that I shall live to see them accomplished , and I can well understand how the objects of that party may now appear to some Utopian ; but like all other great truths , which have been adopted by the world , ridiculed at their birth , persecuted in their slow progress ; the propositions of the Peace
Congress , will , I doubt not , ultimately triumph , aud then standing armies will be but as monsters of the past . ( Hear . ) Then , I 8 ay , all honour to the men of the Peace Congress ; I for one will sound their praise . ( Cheers . ) As I told you at the outset , the resolution which I have to propose , relates to matters of business , and , therefore , my observations upon it shall be few . It is proposed m order to the reorganisation of the Chartist body , that , on the first Monday in December next , a Conference of twenty-eight persons ate to assemble , for the purpose of devising a plan whereby the scattered elements of democracy may be drawn together for the present , and bound together for the future . Dour ot those persons are to be elected here
tonight , and to take their places at the Conferencenot as privateiudlviduals , but as your representatives u ° ii £ ' t 0 act > antJ t 0 deci ( le in y ° ur name « T « ke heed , then , whom you select , because your representatives ought to be worthy of yourselves . ( Hear . ) lhe council of tills locality W prepared a list of lour persons whom they think competent to act upon your behalf , and whom you will elect or reject . £ > , n V fter a further explanation of the objects of the Conference , proposed the following resolution , and sat down warmly applauded ; - " That this meeting having heard explained the objects and intentions of the proposed Metropolitan Conference approves the same , and agrees to the appointment of iour delegates , to be present at such Conference as the representatives of this meeting . "
Mr M' Grate- seconded the resolution . Ho said this had been their second essay at sounding the trumpet blast of Chartist resuscitation , and ^ thus far then- success had been unequivocal . ( Hear . ) Let them follow up the glorious work with the same spirit , and they would soon rectify the unstatesmanhke blunder of Lord John , when he assured parlament that the people were satisfied with their nolitical status , and that no organic change was desired . ( Hear . ) They were determined to rouse the soul of this metropolis from its torpor , and to make the breast of every political slave from the Lands End to John O'Groats' instinct with the holy spmt of freedom . ( Cheers . ) A great work was before them to accomplish , and sneat must , ho
the energies put m motion for ifc . He regarded with infinite pleasure the fine spirit and cheering enthusiasm which characterised the proceedings of that night ; these were encouraging presages which snowed that the day of the people ' s emancipation was at hand . ( Cheers . ) There must be no subsidence of the spirit evoked to-night . ( Hear . ) Wero they not dissatisfied with the tyrannies of the Tories ? Were they not disgusted with the frauds of the Wlugs ? Then let them cea 3 e not to develope their dissatisfaction and disgust by their attendance at meetings such as the present and by their support of a popular organisation whiou aims at the speedy , but peaceful and le » al . destruction of the power of these baneful factions ( Cheers . ) All denominations of politicians wero how
on mowers . All were sedulous in promoting the triumph of their respective objects . Our cause transcended in grandeur , importance , and sublimity that of every other party . Its success would scatter a multitude of blessings among the people . It would , therefore , be disgraceful to them as a party , and traitorous to the cause of progress to remain another moment' in supineness L / iu he ^ . up then once raore with . the bright banner ot the Charter —let them surround it with their hearts and affections-let them bear it proudly a oft in the vanguard of progression , until they plant it in triumph , upon tiro ruins of class leciBlation . ( Loud cheers . ) They wanted an organisation to gather ' up the elements of democratic nownr .
wnich desideratum , as far as Lambeth was concerned , would be supplied to-night . They should have an organisation that , would at once defy the virulence of the AttovneyiGeneval , and nullify th » diabolical vocation of wretches like Powell ( Cheers . ) " No Surrender , " must be their watchword ; « Union " must be their motto . Without these they would continue to be the sport of faction and the laughing-stock of the oppressor . ( Hear ) Union is the first grand essentialinagitation . Let then every man every woman , every youth-in this assembly , resolve upon its immediate creation ( Cheers . ) Their Organisation Conference ™ , i , l

SLATBRT ! TO TUB EDITOR OP HIE HORTHKRN . eTAB . Sir , —The people of all countries appear to be in . fluenced by delusions ; they do not appreciate the real meanings of " liberty " and slavery , and hence they are subject to be deceived by having a false direction given to their minds , wherever severe depression causes them to exercise reflection . The priests tell them that it is a decree of God that the poor should never cease out of the land , and that their poverty is tho result of such decree ; that though their sufferings in this world may be severe , they will be rewarded in the world to come proportionate to their sufferings , and the fortitude with which those sufferings way be borne . The Door „* . „„„„ .
overwrought and under-educated portion of the community not being able to see through the sophistry of this doctrine , submit to it as being the will of Heaven . Thus these hypocritically deluders of the people have not only secured the object of their real mission , but they have secured the position of the governors of nations , whose corrupt and unholy tools they have ever been , and will remain , so long as they are enabled to enslave the very souls of men . God has decreed that the poor shall never cease out of ; the land . Who are the poor ? Those alone who from either physical or mental ability are not able to produce for themselves tho necessaries of life . But for these luxuriant drones to tell the working portion of the community that their poverty is a decree of Heaven , is a foul libel on the character of God . He decreed that man should
earn his bread by the sweat of his brows , and not that one class of men should do this . No ! this decree is universal in its application , —the exception being the poor , who are physically disabled . In order that man might he enabled to dp this-Se established certain and fixed laws , through the operation of which , and with the application of labour , the earth is made to yield an ample supply of fruits , He gave the earth to man , and commanded him to multiply and replenish it . As it had an existence before man , and as it is absolutely necessary for his existence , each individual has ajust and equal right to its possession . No man can be said to have an exclusive right to it . Hence it follows , that the poverty of the producer arises from another source , and not from the decree of God . It arises from the
robberies committed by the priests ; the aristocrat and the usurers , -who by fraud and cunning have contrived to evade the great and universal law" man shall earn Mb bread by the sweat of his . brow , " . This class of individuals are constantly increasing , and as a natural consequence , the labouring portion of tho population are from year to year becoming poorer . Each individual who becomes a capitalist , commences levying taxes on society , which taxes are handed down from one gene * ration to another ; the weight ' upoii the shoulders of the labouring man thus continually augmenting , until its pressure becomes so severe that he is not able , through excessive toil and privations , to live out half his days . Tet those who rob him , and
who are enabled to wallow in luxury and licencious extravagance , have the audacity to tell him that his poverty is a decree of Heaven . The hypocrisy of those parties is bo transparent that the people will , at no distant day , call them to account for their deceptions and injustice . Whence arises the power exercised by this triune ? Troia the slavery of the masses . The masses say we are free ; this is the a land of freedom , —slavery cannot exist here , — who told you so ? You are deceived ; and those who told you so are either wilfully blind to the existence of surrounding facts , or are materially interested in causing you to have an impression that you are free . You are not free , —you are slaveB , mentally and physically , —and so long as the
institutions of society exist in their present state you must remain so . The man who is compelled to sell his labour is a slave to the purchaser of that labour . The freeman is he who sells or exchanges the fruits of his labour . Would to God that the working classes could be induced to think and act more in concert ; their elevation must spring from themselves alone ; unfortunately , the institutions appear to have a parallelising effect on their spiritual nature ; the public-houses , jerry-shops , and gin-palaces , have too much , attraction for them ; excitements of an unhealthy and soul-destroying character is too much sought after ; the taxes which the people pay in this way rivet their fetters of slavery with a sledge-hammer force of a
threefold character . They give a tyrannical government the pecuniary means ot perpetuating their slavery . They dissipate the little power they possess , and thus become the mere kicking posts of their employers ; and are liable to receive the greatest insults without the slightest power of retaliation ; and they destroy or neutralise the noblest portion of their nature , viz ., the spiritual or intellectual part , which , if cultivated , would afford to them a happiness of the most pure and elevated character . There ia after all great hope for the people ; many of the working classes are beginning to think more deeply than they ever did in any age of the world ; there are a greater number of able and noble-souled men who are disseminating views through the
medium of the pure portion of the Press than at any former period . These receive the warm gratulations of all good men ; they may be persecuted by the slander of the priests , who have in every age manifested a peculiar aptitude for persecuting good men , which , however , from its universal occurrence , is producing a completely different result than that which they desire . Somehow the people begin to think that a man must have some peculiarly good quality about him when he is slandered by the priesthood , and hence they are induced to read and reflect upon his ideas . As social reform , or the destruction of slavery , can alone be effected by tilt dissemination of the necessary ideas , and as ideas can only be received by those capable of exercising
their reflecting powers , it behoves every individual , animated by the desire of elevating the masses , to do all he can to remove the cause which prevents the cultivation of reflection . On looking round he will find the greatest portion of his acquaintance , to a greater or less extent , the slaves of intemperance , which intemperance can alone be removed by a total abstinence from intoxicating drinks . What is there more unbearable than to be held by the button and compelled to listen to the contemptible , puerile , and childish twaddle of a drunken matf ? What scene is more calculated to produce pain and sorrow in the mind of a man whose aspirations are ever for the elevation of the people , than to see his soul so beclouded , —his manhood so degraded , —by pandering to a ricious habit ? and perhaps he may have wife and
a a group of lovely children at home requiring for their comfort the very money which he has been squandering at somo gin-palace , or other place , where this infernal poison is permitted to be sold . The man who can do this is a tyrant in his soul , made so by drink . It is the duty Of every democrat to destroy the power of this tyranny by doing all he can to overturn the drinking customs , and thus we should have a sober people , which no power on earth could keep in slavery . May the time speedily arrive when every species of slavery shall be banished from the world , and when all men shall be united in one common bond of brotherhood , —when each shall seek his brother ' s welfare , and individual selfishness entirely destroyed . Yours truly , Halifax . John Cuipan , Jun .

What was formerly necessary when London was much smaller , and , from its hitherto long form and narrow width , more healthy in its internal parts than it can be in future ( unless care be taken , whilst there is yet time and opportunity ) , is much more necessary now , and the consequences will show themselves , if precautions be neglected .
