TO JEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . ( ContinuedJrtm oar latt . ) Tbe people of thii country are by no means prepared fa such an orartat ; then what are they prtpued jo , ? I can . exesse the Whig * for tbeir s&enos os tfail beai , kaewiBg th * t th * jr have a method of managing pu to mh ctoanmiUnoHfc Tbep am , u ustul , dedaze yv against some foreign power ilmiUriy sftasted as jfcenselves , wnkb at cnce provides avocations for the ypenbondjuit , -starving , obstreperous population of gttfaer ptrty ; tbfentta field of strife shall cure the evil , ctd to ever « xtfngttish ti » complaints of all who cannot poBTEBieotiy be provided to ottnerwist ; whik the T 0 IiiiooBe and feastile are available f oi tine aged and { agon , whkfc il all » tistactary enough , In as far a * the &re Bat this or
^ p concerned . ahsll satisfy , shall ggy be permitted to resort to this oft-played game pace more ; what say yon , Sir ; hare you nothing better la contemplation than this ? or have yon yet-properly jjguidered the means necessary to . prevent these other —rtU * from carrying their view * into effect ? You have § &erssid too little , or too ranch . ; too much to allow any -tfty to lead m Into the gulf una wares ; and too little to S » hte pi to perceiveby what mara we ean avoid it . Is « ally round the People ' s Charter you answer ? " Then ink , can men exist on the privileges granted by that aoeement ? Were we to stand for the system of which g 9 t Charter is a part , we would consider ourselves in a fur way , and beyond the reach ot being misled by hit tarty . la the meantime , Charter or not Charter ,
j beg to remind yon that if it is contemplated to destroy « B jnonopolifis , " a fair day ' s wage for a fair days -work is % false , ambiguous term , misunderstood by the neatest part , and should be simplified . If a " spade 5 tut be called a spade , " give that its proper name ; vitn a prope system , in view , I am aware Universal Siftage would work to it , bat I scaroely think this as be attained , while the many are buoyed up by a bbe delusive hope ; with this end in Tiew , Universal gnffrnge is certain to lead to disappointment and ruin We haYe heard enough concerning unjust monopolies , 4 c , and are now taught to hate them to the heart ' s core ; but we hare not been taught that Eaeir repeal would destroy the resources by which three-fourths of the population exist ; no * that
tbeir repeal , is the repeal ef the constitution ; and th&t before thai can be efiected , tre must hare another to £ 11 its room . Had this side of the question bees as veD argued as the others , we had been in a fair way , long , ere sow ; but because the Vnflmmtfola in the Qjstist cause haYe been mute on the subject , the great hodj , in opposition to their oonYictions and common jrtdeoce , not only overtook this most important of all po i nts , as b eing unnecessary , but shun those yrbo do , as tttii enemies , for fear of disturbing the Chartist tux forsooth ! Is opposition to which , I say , if the Chartist more is rightly consolidated , an inquiry of this nature cannot disturb it , and if not , the sooner it li disturbed , and its errors rectified , thi better . None on be blind to the fact , were the Charter attained gik hour , much misunderstanding and confusion weald eBSae grgn among Chartists theiaselves , from having jffTtB grounded ideu concerning what is necessary & \ oag wkh it to establish our freedom . Add to this ,
the great body who think not , and would most asorediy vota for aristocrats , independent of all our aaanes . And mark here , all are taught to hate cor present monopolising , slave bearing system , and would v » fta to pull it down . Should they succeed , as doubttesi they would , would the delusive hope of " a fair csy % v&ge for a £ dr day ' s work" satisfy the demands ofnatare , altar the-employer was deprived of toe only B « tu be ere ? had of cmntMirimg the serviees of any CDe ? This , with you and your partisans wrangling BBctionslty , concerning the means to be resorted to , to stable men to lire independent of the monopolising rgstexn just put down , from what source shall the means come to supply their necessities in the meanfine ? Who shall be conservative of the peace , or pmest the multitude as a matter of necessity from ones more taking shelter under the wings of the expeDed aristocracy ? Could men exist fifteen or twenty yean on nothing ? All this might be accomplished , hit art by creatures who cannot lire a week without
I hear much of principles and rights ; and I ask does the right to Tote far Members of Parliament include al ? if not , what are the others ]! or is it dealing fair vitfca principle of justice to hold it up when voting it ecoeemed , aad smother it in every other case ? If cur right to the franchise is good , ao are all oar other tifhti ; as they all depend en one principle , cot principles , as we have been taught . knnQvm falsified Whig axiom , not yet expunged by flttvtittff . t is , " fresh circumstances *» h for fresh legis-Tstiva enactments , " and "it is presumption , and wtose , to strike a line » f densrcatnm at all , as impreTemeat must go on . " Those who study the human cbazacter see tte case very different ; as the mind , body , wants , and necessities of the first man were , so era are ; therefore , I assert no right or privilege * h ** mtore entities us to , has in the smallest degree altered
sisee tane was . Place the line of demarcation at the right point , and it wiB stand ; as human nature is not Bible to change , so the constitutional laws that aawer it will require no alteration . In opposition to the improvement-go-on-tenet , I have to say , the histories of all the kingdoms of the earth have been Msily the same ; they all spring up gradually to the aDaopolisiBg system we are -n-nApr ; but a very short time brought that system to a stage beyond which it odd not pass , said , because the people tc . e'w no oUvei Qstcm to adopt , down they all tumbled one after saother , aad were no more beard of ; such has been tl » fat » of Idumea , Chaldea , Jodea , Greece , and Borne ; ud such is tiie fate that awaits us as next on the list , if pot promptly averted . Justice or not justice is the point at issue , and as we deal with it , the result will he ; if we stand for the right , we ride on the top of the rare : should we torn from it , wb sink to rise no
The Whigs and Tones , wisely for themselves , have &a » what they could to cever the results of their move-Beats , evidently fronx an inward , knowledge they were Use ; bat , should the Chartists imitate them in this ? If they are guided by troth and justice , the more that ii known of the results of their movements the better , > ad if these are overlooked , they may despair of bettering then condition ; or , if disregarded , talk no more of » principle oi justice , or liberty of discussion .

Think on the French Revolution . The movement fcat produced it was wtmilsr to oars , and once bade fair tosmeliottte the condition of mankind ; but mark the « & 'With no correct knowledge of human rights , and to defined course to pursue , they took their model fesa America—slave-bearing , money-grubbing America , * ad we all know the result . And again in 1830 they m the power of their Government prostrate , and what ™ &ey accomplish ? Merely displaced a weak despoehd to establish a powerful one . Sior are these exceptions to the movements of the j ° * e ekss-s in all ages : so uniform have these been , «« t it has become a proverb—•• They can gain an ephe-= esl triciiiph , but no mere . " And why is it so ' . kaaply , because they neither know their rights , nor how « JT are to be established , even if they bad the power . fi this been otherwise , we had possessed all we ssfcad far long ere now .
aot is the case as yet altered wife us . Generally ^ ea * JD ? . we know as little of the changes necessary * * ork out onr emancipation , as the French did Will ?* * J « nt to vote destroy the monopoly of power ? ^ «> the late election .

grounds to suppose that they contemplate anything else . We have all along been told that the Charter is a cure for every evil , yet , after all , I beg to be excused , when I tell you frankly , I doubt the truth of the assertion . As yon are the first man in the Chartist movement , I have thought proper to call you attention to these matters . If it was premature to consider ' thf » things before , now I certainly think sot a moment more , i * to be lost : the die is now thrown that wili try the merits of Chartism . All pusillanimous sttempts at improvement will now belaid aside , and Chartism wall understood and directed with prudence and energy , may very apeedOy lead to results , too important and beneficial to the human race , to be mooted in this painful and rather foreboding commtmication .
finally , I beg to remind yon it will not do , either with or without the Charter , to pull down the present system until another is propounded ; nor will the franchise ever be purified withe that system exists . What Im to be done mast in theAnt place be understood . Too lire wrong if you suppose yon can drive the people of this country from one system to another , like a parcel of sheep . Say , then , what is to be the order of the day . M&Ithnsianism or not ? monopoly , or not monopoly ? cooperation , or competition ? justice , or injustice ? What system is to be ours ? Is it any of those already in existence , or one not yet propounded ? A system we must have-not like Chartism , which is only a section of a system , bat one perfect and complete , embracing all the arrangements of society . Xbis much is neces
sary , if justice shall role and peace be tbe result ; and , fox the satisfaction of all parties , that none may be taken unawares concerning the results of Universal Suffrage , and for the promotion of the Chartist cauae , that it may be discussed , understood , and agreed upon , after which let the franchise come by itself , or along with the other parts of its kindred system ( which I have good reason to believe will at last be th » case ;) either ^ ay tbe end -will be certain aad salutary . These thing ! attended to , in the meantime , will do more for Chartism than a petition with tke names « f tea millions of Britain ' s sons adhibited thereto .

THE STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . TO THB EDIT 8 B OF THE NOSTHEBM STAB . Sib , —As the drcumstancea of my misfortune at the new Houses of Parliament have bees taken up by tbe masons , and as Mr . Allen , in denying the charges made against him , has thought fit to deny mine amongst the rest , I consider it my duty , in justice to the masons and myself , to give to the public a true statement of tbe case . On . the 13 th of February last , I was ascending a
ladder with a stone in my arms , and when about te step from the ladder to the scaffold one of the poles gave way falling against me , I fell to the ground , and had my leg broken ; I was carried to the Westminster Infirmary on a hand-barrow . At the end of fourteen weeks I returned to the works , having so far recovered , I thought I should be able to resume my employment , and consider ing I had received my injury on the works , and being then lame , I hoped some sympathy would be shewn towards me if I could not perform my duties with the sune alacrity I used to do before I received my accident
On the fifth day , as I was dragging a heavy chain at the river front , George Alien , the foreman , came to me and said , " Why the h—1 dont you quicken along with that chain ? " I told him I was not able to perform my work with the same ability that I could before I received the accident ; be then called me a d—d lame cripple , and said tiiat I m no use there . I replied , I was doing the best I could , and reminded him that I received my lameness on the works . Allen then " d—d my eyes , " and bade me be off the ground immediately . I said I would inform Mr . Peto how ill he had used
me . Allen said if I was not off immediately he would kick me , using the same abusive language as before . I then went to the pay-clerk , and told him of the usage I had received from Allen , and asked him to give me the money that was doe to me . While I was standing at the office Allan again came round , and with a flood of swearing called me " a d—d lame cripple ; " and said if 2 was sot off the ground immediately he would send for a policeman to take me off . 1 then left the works , and went to Mr . Chappie , Mr . Cubitt's foreman , who , after hearing the usage I had received from Allen , immediately gave me employment .
I have not been in the employment of Messrs . Chnssell and Pato since , as stated both by them and Alien , neither have I been able to make anything like full time since I received that accident ; this can be proved by Mr . Chappie , foreman to Mr . Cubvtt , likewise by Mt . Irvine at Mr . Winsland ' s , both of whom hav « been most indulgent to me since I was discharged by George Allen . I am at present unable to work from the effect * of the accident ; my ancle swells , and is attended with extreme pain , so that I am compelled to keep to my bed generally three days a week , and am now confined to my bed through the accident which J received while employed at the new Houses of Parliament by Messrs . Grissell and Peto , v ^ f ^ - the superintendence of George Allen . Thomas Hickbt . " No . 34 , Tine-street , Westminster .

TO THE KA . DICALS OF A 3 HT 0 X-UNDKRLYSB . FRIENDS ASD FELUTSV TOWNSMEN , —In consequence of an appeal being made by Feargus O . ConnoT , to those on whose bebalf my friend Sl'Dooall has suffered , I address this letter to you . It has long been a wish of mine that Dr . M'DouaD would locate himself somewhere in the neighbourhood of Manchester , and follow his profession , but circumstances of & pecuniary nature have hitherto prevented him . Oar patriotic and truly philanthropic advocate Mr . O'Connor has undertaken " to raise a loan of one hundred pounds" to establish him in big profession at Manchester .
At tbe time our agitation commenced for the Charter , he was living in Ramsbottom , and in professional language , was in " excellent practice , " but his extreme political opinion * being hostile to the only manufacturer of note in that place , ( and who had antecedent to Ms taking up the peopled cause , been bis friend and patron ) of course did all be could to injure him in his profession , and he succeeded but too welL His burning zeal in the cause of human regeneration , brought him before the notice of the Radicals of this
tow n , and he was accordingly electtd to serve in tha first Convention , which he did till it broke up , the greatest part of the time without receiving a penny from Ashton or anywhere else . With or without pay he Blackened not in his energy for the public cauae , and although bis all has been spent , he is still with you and for you . While some few were reaping a golden harvest , by appealing to the passions and superstitions of their hearers , he , the poor and fanatically maligned honest little fellow , was spending bis time and his fortune .
And shall we , the men of Ashton , see him and those who are endeared to him by every tie of human and divine , sink beneath the crad gaza of the doubleheided monster , poverty and want ? I know that in sp ite of a factious and miserably deluded opposition , the majority of my fellow-toTrasmenwUl answer " no . if my mite can relieve him and bis , poor though "we be , we will assist him . " A letter appsared a few months ago in the Star , signed " A Sinctre Chartist , " and nothing bat the contempt I bad for the fm « "giri in disguise , could have prevented me from answering it at tbe time . It would
have * " passed by Kie like tbe idle winds , which I respect not , " but as I am writing on behalf of tbe individual whom he secretly attacked , whom he mentioned " affected to belong to some of the learned professions , " I could not help noticing that portion of his letter which assailed a man , whose public and private conduct are as exalted as the others i « contemptible . This Billingsgate is two well known , even under an anonymous signature , to escape the detection oi those who know him , but my excellent friend M'Douall is too dearly entwined round the innermost core of the majority of those who know h im to suffer the least iojury from such puny and jealous attacks .
In conclusion , fellow townmen , I have but to ask that which I have every reason to believe will be granted—pardon for intruding on yon at the present time , bat whenever I see silent , suffering worth , my heart leans towards and bleeds for it with tbe same devotion that yonrs will , for him on whose behalf I have-thus , unknown to any but myself , made this appeal I remain , fellow townsmen , Tours sincerely , In the cause of justice and humanity , W . aitkin .

circumstance * . \ . . The means by which they propose to accomplish these noble objects are—1 st The money arising from the sale of shares , the value of which and the' mode of payment shall b » as follows : —All persons becoming shareholders during tbe first three months , commencing November 6 , 1841 , are to . pay thirteen sniTitngs and sixpence per share , that is one shilling en the night of entrance , and threepence per week for the ensuing twelve months , the weekly payments are to be made- on Saturday evenings , and any member neglecting to pay for one month will be fined threepence , and threepence fox each succeeding month .
If he neglects six months without giving to the director ! a satisfactory reason for so doing , he will be excluded , and half the money he has paid in will be forfeited . Any person entering during the three months must pay up his arrears by an additional threepence per week upon each share he holds . After three months the value of the stock will be calculated , and divided according to the existing number of ahare * takes , and the price at which they shall be taken during the ensuing three months , will be determined on , After six months a new calculation of the value of shares will be made , and the price for the remainder of the year will be resolved on , after which the valuation of shares and their price will be determined annually .
2 nd . The accumulation of profits arising from tbe various articles of consumption told in the store or stores of the company . 3 rd .

If tbe share is still retained in the family , the person holding it will , of course , stand as tbe original shareholder .
Members may hold five shares , but not more ; and , in order to secure tbe perfect equality ultimately of all tbe members , it has been resolved that every one shall purchase five shares ; and , in order to maet the circamstances of those who cannot deposit 5 s . at the outset , and 3 s . 3 d . weekly , the following plan has been adopted : —Each share is to be secured by the deposit of Is . and the payment of threepence per week until the price of the share is paid up . All who enter before the 1 st of February , 15 * 2 , will have their shares at 13 s . Cd . with tbe option of taking up one share annually upon the payiuant of 2 s . additional per share . The property of tbe Company will be invested in the hands of three trustees , chosen by the general body , and its affairs will be managed by a treasurer , secretary , storekeeper , agent , and nine directors , five of whom will be taken as they stand np » n the books , and four will be elected by a general meeting ; half of the electors will retire every half year , but may be re-elected .

AN ADDRESS TO THE ART 1 ZAN 8 , MINERS , AND AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS OF THE BOROUGH OF HELSTO >\
Bhethrf . n iy Political Bo . vdage , —The time is at last come when it behoves you , and erery lover of your country , to stand forward and aid in rescuing tbe land of your birth from degradation and ruin—a nation that could ence boast of being " the admiration of the world and the envy of surrounding nations , " is rapidly on the decline , and threatens shortly to become like Tyre , Sidon , Cart h ag e , Babylon , and Rome , known only in name . Nature has so bounteously bestowed her gifts upon and around our Island , that it embraces within itself every requisite for National greatness , with a population proverbial for their industry , and surpassed by none beneath tbe vault of heaven for bravery and skill ; yet we find ourselves surrounded by poverty , destitution , and distress , to an extent unparalleled in the
annals of the British history . Capital finds little or no profit , and labour no reward . Oar merchants and manufacturers are on the brink of ruin , and are daily becoming bankrupts . The streets of our manufacturing towns are filled with half-starved , unemployed mechanics , whose care-worn ceuntenances at once bespeak their wretched condition ; subjected to such distress they wander with bat in hand , forgetting that they are men crouching like spaniels at the feet of their tyrant lords . They ask leave to work that they may live , bat are denied . Thousands of our beet artisans and mechanics are forced from Albion ' s fertile shores to seek in other climes that which unjust legislators have deprived them of in their own -, those who , from love of country , cling to their native soil , driven to tbe lost
cursed alternative of allowing themselves to be entombed alive in the Whig bastiles , where the husband is separated from the wife of bis bosom , who is as near to him as the sovereign of these realms is to the heart of her royal consort—the wife is taken from him whose delight it was to solace her in affliction and distress , and who vowed at the sacred a ! tw to be her protector through life . Children , those pledges of connubial love , are torn from the affectionate embraces of both ; thus bursting asunder every tie of nature , and grossly outraging every feeling of humanity . Those are among the least of the evils we suffer under class legislation . Brethren , our evils are increasing and will still continue to increase ¦ while we are like serfs and slaves , forced to obey laws , we have no voice in making . But the present
corrupt system must shortly vanish before a nation ' s will , and a government formed on the philanthropic principles of democracy will be raised on the ruins . It is because we wished to work with the materials of our ancient constitution and divest ourselves of tbe shackles which the two vile factions are riviting , by their every action , more closely to our shoulders , that we have been denounced as revolutionists , levellers , and infidels ; but We hurl the foal calumny In the teeth of our calumniators , and defy them to prove what they have bad tho unblushing effrontery to assert Rather than see onr country engaged in bloody revolution , we would allow our oppressors to sway Uieii fiend-tike sceptre of tyranny over the producers of their comforts , till death bid us quit tbe stage of action , and
mingle with oar fellowtclay . Those who have been pleased to Stigmatize us with the name of levellers , are knavish designing politicians , whose object in so so doing was to thiow the veil ef prejndlce before the eyes of tbe middle classes , and thus effect a desperation which would allow them to maintain a little longer their usurped authority . Middle class men , we covet not your property , but we wish that property which we boast of as being the gift of nature , and which is i n our blood and sinews , should be fairly represented . But they have dared to brand us with tbe name of Infidel ; but this word , which in former days used to act as magic on the minds ot their dupes has lost its charm ; but we could , ye sanctified hypocrites of a Church , that costs the country annually nine millions
and a half for its support , we could unfold a tale of your horrid deeds that would make the blood of every sincere Christian become stagnant in his veins at tbe perusal ; but , contrary to you , we render good for evil , and refrain from drawing aside the curtain tbat bides your infamy , and tell you that we are politicians , but not Infldela—we are Christians , but not bigots . Brethren , we have had every party to contend with , from tbe middle class to the Crown but the middle class are fast joining in the struggle of right sgainst might , and the tide of Democracy has begun to flow , and in opposition to the combined efforts of the two factions it will , like the billows « f the miehty ocean , roll onward in the plenitude of its strength till it has
swept every remaining vestige of corruption from the shores of Britain . More than two millions of onr countrymen have declared with a voice tbat is not to be misunderstood , that they will no longer wear the fetters of despots . And will you look tamely on while so many patriots are battling for freedom ? If you do , you deserve not the name of Cornishmen . There is a noble band of patriots in this borough who have nailed their colours to tbe mast , and will stand the hnzard of tbe die , and this appeal will , it must , be responded to , by your coming forward and enrolling yourselves members of tlie National Charter Association , and showing that the patriotic spirits that fired the breasts of your brave sires is transmitted to you , and that you still cling to your ancient admirable

CAlUadtE—At the meeting of the couneii on Saturday , Mr . John Armstrong in the chair , It was r ^ wlTed tbat copies of tha National Petition , and ab » sheets for signature , be ordered immediately , through Mr . Arthur , bookseller ; and that the most active p « nn » be resorted to , for tbe purpose of procuring signatures . ; We ' ljaye no doubt but a gnat number of signatnreswiU be obtainod . as the National PetitioH ^ s a document that very few will object to tAgn , more especistfy in fhe present state of trade , for nearly all classes depending on labour , are more or leu affected from theifreat depression which now exist * . In addition to tbe extreme low state of wages , work is very scarce in all departments of business . Several of the public works have been working short time ; and , where this is not the case , tbe masters
have been reducing the number of bands ; so that many have been thrown out of employment Provisions are very high in price , and how the winter will be got over , we know not ; for tbe wretched peor are already starving in all directions . There was a ball on Tuesday evening last , the proceeds of which , after all expences are paid , were to go to some charitable purpose ; but what avails the casual ! band of charity , when such general distress prevails ? What mockery ! to commemorate the birth of a Prince , by musty and dancing , while the wails of misery and starvation are heard In every street and lane throughout the city . The conduct of tha parties getting up this piece of foolery to commemorate the birth of d Prince ,
contrasts strangely with the benevolent conduct' of \ Q . H . Head , Esq ., banker , in this city , who , a tew days ago , gave orders that tbe whole of the paupNerjUa tie three different workhouses , also all the prisoners in the gaol—debtors included , should be regaled with roast beef and plumb pudding 1—which they had , ( to the number of some hundreds ) in very great abundance . This is what we would call real and substantial charity , as compared with tha silly buffoonery of a ball room ! We trust out present worthy Mayor , G .. G . Mounsey , Esq ., will take immediate Bteps to' get up a public subscription , for tho purpose of relieving the shocking distress which at present prevails . —Correspondent .
Lectures in the Council-booh of the Charter Association . —We feel great pleasure in stating , that several valuable and instructive lectures have been delivered in the above place , by Mr . John Armstrong , chairman of the association , after which collections have been made in aid of the funds . These lectures have led to tbe establishment of a debating society , at which questions of public importance will be weekly discussed . There is no charge made for admittance , but collections will be made , after each discussion has closed , in aid of the funds . We consider such a society calculated to do much good , if properly conducted , aHdmaybe the means of bringing out young men as public speakers and advocates for the Charter , who might , under other circumstances , have remained in comparative obscurity .
NORWICH . —Dbfbat of thb " Plague . **—Some unforeseen circumstance has of late made converts of the leading Socialists of this town to tbe Corn Law Repeat In consequence thereof , they challenged all opponents to discuss its merits . The Chartists accepted the invitation , and on Wednesday , Nov . lftb , each party met in the Social Room , and tbe discussion proceeded until a late hour ,. when It' Was adjourned till the following Wednesday . The meeting was then numerously attended , and the Repealers were assisted by Whigs of the first water . Each speaker was allowed fifteen minutes , and during the early part of tbe discussion all was orderly and peaceable ; but the Repealers finding themselves unable to palm the delusion upon the people , became warm ,
and , as is too often the case with parties attempitig t « lead the intelligent astray , they treated theii bearers with unbecoming language , telling them it was an act of tyranny for a majority to hold in subjection a virtuous minority , and tbat if they had only ten Socialists in the room , they would discuss tbe question with ten thousand opponents . This insult was received by the meeting as an evidence of failure , and a strong . disposition was shown not te bear them . A resolution was then moved , expressive of sufficient evidence having been given , that to Repeal tbe Corn Laws , wlahout accompanying it with those measures detailed in the People ' s Charter , would not restore comfort or contentment to the people . Mr . Clark , the Social missionary , warmly opposed tbe resolution ,
stating be bad been taking notes all the evening , and he hod a right to speak , but the meeting being disposed to cany the resolution , Mr . Goat , tbe Chartist Secretary came forward and moved , as an amendment , " That Mr . Clark be allowed fifteen minutes to speak , and himself as many to answer him , " which beiDg put from the Chair , was carried without opposition . Mr . Clark then addressed the meeting with great rapidity , endeavouring to show , that by a Repeal of tbe Corn Laws , bread would become cheap , labour plentiful , and thus might we gain comparative comfort . Mr . Goat , in answer , observed , that Mr . Clark bad many times told bis hearers that tbe soil of Great Britain and Ireland was more than sufficient to supply the wants of her inhabitants : as such there could be no
need of foreign corn . He had also said , tbat we have a producing power mere than sufficient to supply tbe world ; if so , from whence was trade to come to employ this vast amount of machinery , and the other also . to restore this comparative comfort . Ha said we had too much trade at the present day ; if half the trade were well-directed we should have enough to make oil comfortable . But to direct trade so aff to benefit tho working man , the people must have » power in legislation , and then they might repeal the C > ru Laws , or any other offensive laws . These remarks determined many favourable to repeal to desert it , and seek tbe Charter . The motion was then pat , and a forest of hands held up in its favour ; in fact it was nearly unanimously carried . The meeting then broke
up . ABERGAVJBNNY . —Mr . George Biack , of Nottingham , lectured here on Friday last . Mr . Ingram , Mr . Griffith , and Mr . David Jonathan , also addressed the meeting . The whole gave the greatest satisfaction . The xoera was crowded . Mr . Black has lectured here before , and has given great satisfaction ; be is a warm advocate in the cause . COVENTRY . —The people of this town , hme been favoured with a visit from the inri . fatigable champion of the rigbts of labour , James B . ontorre O Brien . The ' schoolmaster , " consented to deliver two lectures on Wednesday and Thursday evenings last ; subject i , the " Righcs of Labour , Suffrage , &c . " The moment it was made known , a few of tbe " schoolmaster's"
discipits mtt together and determined to welcome his Appearance in Coventry , by ft public supper oa Wednesday evening , tickets is . each about thirty good men and true But down to a good subs-t mtlal repatt , consisting of roast beef , after discussing the good things of this life , and the cloth bting removed , several toasts -was given from the cbair , when it was time for Mr . O'Brien to commence lecturing ; the company then immediately retired to tbe large room , occupied by the Socialists , who kindly granted the use of the same to the Chartists for the lectures , The room was wellfllled . Mr . Mahon was unanimously voted to the chair ; he made a few appropriate remarks , and called upon Mr . Joseph Pttars to read au address to Mr . O'Brien . Mr . Peters then mounted the platform , and read a short address .
complimenting the " BohoolumW for the great services be had rendered the c iuso of democracy . Mr . Samuel Knight thta proposed that the meeting adopt the address aq . tbeir own ; seconded by Mr . Thomas Marshall The Chairman then called fora show of bands ; the call was responded to by a forest of blittered bands . The contrary—not one single hand . { Loud clapping followed the announcement , that the address was carried . ) Mr . O'Brien then roBe , and was received with vociferous cuetriag . He commenced by saying that bis health would not permit him to address them as he could wish , but he would endeavour to make them all understand . He bad had splendid meetings at most of the places be attended for the purpose of lecturing , with the exception of . Bury ; that was chiefly owing to the
division between the friends of O'Connor and Dr . Fletcher j but a better spirit was growing up amongst tbe people of that place . He then entered at great length into the distress endured by the labouring and manufacturing population of Great Britain ; he contrasted the wages of the present time to those received by our forefathers , showing how the working , classes of sooiety was robbed without their will or consent ; he showed to the meeting , by irrefragable proofs and demonatrances , that the Charter was the only means by which they could work out their political and social emancipation . Mr . O'Brien then expatiated ] at great length , on the necessity of the people signing the National Petition ; he then said he was willing ta answer any question that any person pleased to ask ; he stated that he would enter ' more into detail hereafter .
On the fallowing evanlug , ( Thursday ) , Mr . David Bnckney was called to the chair . After a few observations , be called upon Mr . O'Brien , who appeared In much better health than on the previous evening . He was loudly applauded on rising to speak . He commenced by showing that the interests of the middle classes was not identical with those of the working classes . The object of the middle class was to get labour cheap and sell it dear , whilst the object of the working man was to get as much for hia labour as be possibly could . He traced all the evils of society to the accursed usury laws , showing how they operated on sooiety . He then pointed out , iu a most masterly manner , the only means left to the toiling and induetsrous millions to remove the load of misery and wretchedness under which they groaned , which was to

DERBY BROW , —On Monday , meeting was held" in the Berry Brow School room , Mr . William Wood in the chair , to hear Mr . F . R . Lees , of Leeds , the toetotai advocate , gave an address on the principles Of Chartism . Tha room was full consisting of Chartists , Tories , Ifflff" Whigs . The lecturer ga « e t ! ie latter their true character , and concluded his address by exbortihg ^ bis heare rs to temperance , knowledge and union . A vote ef thanks were given to the lecturer and chairman ,, and three cheers for the Charter . An association is forming here ; and we hope erelong , to be able to join the National Move . LADCBLEr . —The Chartiatabere have joined the National Charter Association . They have sent us their nominations of Couneillors , but having gives us no trades nor residences , we do not print them . .
IfOTTINGBAItt . —The usual weekly meeting of the Chartiatawaa ., held in the Democratic Chapel , on Monday evening , Nov . 29 th , Mr . Jacob Bortock was called to the " chair . Tbe following resolution . was passed : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , Mr . G . Black , from over zeal in the cause of democracy , gave utterance to a few sentences , at Sheffield , which were Indiscreet , notwithstanding which this meeting has full confidence in his political Integrity atvA sincerity . " The following resolution was carried the same evening , at the meeting ' of Cbarftsta , held ' . at the King George on Horseback . ' - ^ Th at tbiar meeting Is ot opinion , that the language used by Mr . George Black , in the
at Sheffield ^ as reported Northern Star , was rather intemperate , and ought not to have been mad ; but this meeting has the . most aoboonded confidence in the honesty aha integrity of Mr . BJack , and believe a morecohsistoot democrat does not exist . " A committee was alstf formed , in tbe Democratic Chapel , to superintend the National Petition , in obtaining signatures , &c A committee was also appointed' for more effectually agitating the town , in districts , and foe waiting on the various trade committees , and to solicit their co-operation in the great movement ., Mr , Cornelias Fawkes , a working man , gave » most impressive address , at tbe conclusion of the business . Some new members also enrolled their names .
BRISTOL . —On Monday evening another ticket meeting was called to hear an Anti-Corn Law lecture from Mr . down . Great care was taken in the distribution to friends of the league ; notwithstanding whioh , a considerable number of Chartists gained admission . The lecturer was frequently interrupted with exclamatious of impatience and dissent during the progress of his lecture . When he had concluded , Mr . Clifton , a Chartist , arose to make a few observations on the maay fallacies he had advanced , when the " respectables" on the platform began hooting and yelling like beasts and reptiles ; the € hartis (; a cheering , Mr . gimeon next rose on the platform , when a posse of polioe were inarohed in at the back door upon the platform . A dozen disorderly
gentlemen pointed to the Chartist speakers , and gave them in . charge ; bat for what I know not , unless it was bepause . they did not yell ao loudly as tbe"gentlemen . " These worthies ^ however , took the "Christian " course of hearing none but their own side , and of handing . over their opponents to the blue devils . When ' MUs 'Whigs wero opposing and upsetting Tory meetings by amendments , the course was quite right , but now the case is altered . The ^ working classes having dared to follow the Whig course , and move amendments at Whig meetings , and challenge Whig spouters to discussion , ( 0 , very wrong !) the liberal Whigs have discovered a new doctrine for public meetings aud lectures . It is , that the public should
listen , not reply ; hold up their hands , but not more amendments . However , in this case , the preachers and blue devils were disappointed , for the Chartists dragged their two speakers from the platform into the body of the room . Your humble reporter was next pointed out a , 3 one of them , and got pushed off the platform by the tender bauds of the said corn law police . The big-loaf-mouthers and bludgeonmen held possession of the platform , and wero wellshowered with the just indignation of the Chartists , who gave three cheers for the Charter , three f or O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and , after discussing in numerous groups the subject of repeal , with the dupes of the plague , each wended his way homo . —Correspondent .
septfobb . —At the Surry Council meeting on Sunday last , a f ter the transaction o f local business , it was resolved : — "That it is requested of tho various localities to come forward immediately to support the Executive , in every possible way they can . " After other business relating to the localities , the meeting adjourned to the Horn ' s Tavern on Sunday next , ( to-morrow ;) the chair to be taken at half-past four o ' clock , when it is requested that each delegate should attend , as the plan for a district council , as recommended by the Executive , will be taken into consideration .
Old Basford . —On Saturday , Nov . 27 th , Mr . w . D . Taylor delivered a lecture , in a school-room , at Old Basford , on the repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws , and the probability of the People's Charter being first enacted , their relative merits , and benefit to the people , Mr . Russell in the choir , who opened the meeting by inviting discussion , or reply , on the subject of the lecture . Some middle-class religious men , Corn Lnw repealers , made several attempts to put the meeting in confnsiou , when the chairman interfered , and stated that if any further confusion was created by these parties , he should feel it his duty to call on a constable and Drefer charges against them ; all then passed off quietly . '
BURTON-ON-TRENT . —On Thursday week , Mr . Bairstow delivered a stirring lecture in the Chartists' Room , at Mr . Philip Tyzack ' s , High-street , and on Friday avening , at Swadlingcote , in their room , and on Saturday evening , at Burton , to large congregations . On Sunday morning , the Chartists of Burton paid thoir second visit to the only poor man ' s church , in Needwood Forest , accompanied by our able leoturer , Mr . Bairstow . The text was taken from the 13 th chapter of Romans , and the 10 : h verse .
The words are— " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour , therefore love is the fulfilling of the law . ' All came home highly delighted , and intend to visit the poor man ' s church again on the 12 thof December , and fill many of the empty seats . We hope the working men of Barton will muster that day , and do honour to the only poor man ' s church . On Sunday evening , Mr . Bairstow preached a sermon in our room , to a very large congregation ; his text w as taken from the 22 nd chapter of Ezekiel , 23 rd and seven following verses . This sermon , we believe , has done immense good in Barton , together with his lectures .
CORNWALL—Mr . Powell lectured during the past week , on Monday , on Castle Hill , Truro ; on Wednesday , at tho Market House , St . Columb ' s ; and on Thursday , at Padstow , a small sea-port town , that never before was visited by such a lecturer . Having convened a meeting , and a good one it was , Mr . Powell explained the Charter , when , in the course of which , a tall , Blight , saintly , long-faced " local" , created much merriment in the great assembly , by heaving many a heavy sigh and dismal moans , and then at once interrupted the leoturer , by calling the attention of those near him , aad plaintively requesting them not to notice the man who would thus seek to destroy the happiness of society by revolution , remarking that patience would be the only
means to remedy evils , if any—that patience exalted a nation , and the evils we experienced where bubbles , and that " the powers that be" were ordained of God . Jlr . Powell commenced dissecting these sentiments in . euoh a style as caused the whole crowd to join in one continued roar of laughter , putting to flight the time-serving , pulpit-hunting man of any party . Having touched on the blessings of the Poor Law , where live women had to give birth to infanta iu two beds , reminding them that the " rural blues" were to force obedience , he contrasted tbe people's condition with the Queen ' s Household , and urged down the execration of the multitude upon the poor , Bleek-faoed , hypocrite Methodist , who , to make the matter worseowned that the poor man ' s means
, were low , but that they should wait for a Mosee who if they prayed unto God would come as a deliverer of the nation . Next day , Friday , having repaired to Wadebridge , where the men are up to the mark , they and previously called the meeting for the evening , at the large room , at the Commercial Ins , which was numerously and respectably attended by lawyers ; doctors , and such like , many waiting to catch the sound of Chartism as it reached the outer part of the building , many too went away reluctantly at the conclusion or the lecture . Another religionist attacked him . but la a more mild and conciliatory
manner , partially approving of the means likely to redress the grievances of the poor . Several new members enrolled . A debating society was formed , whioh bids fair to produce some good speakers . Mr . Powell said that be had received a letter from Truro , informing him thai Mr . O'Connor would shortly after Christmas vinit them , having it through the highest authority , the Executive . This for a moment created a dead silence , as if to , one and all raise , their voices to the highest pitchland such a cheer never was Heard in the town of Wadebridge . Thus ended another of the many-spirit stirring meetings of Cornwall .
