THE RAGE OF THE MILLIONAIRES . The course pnrsned by slippery Peel , wkh reference to the Eliding scale , and the " Total Repeal , " has exasperated the Millionare Masters and their tools into frantio madness ; or , at all events , they want folks to believe so . £ rerj means will be used to " kick np a ferment . " The men who could so lately throw np their caps , and shout , and petition and labour with all their little might , for little Lord Johx ' s eight-shillmgs-jired-duty-free-trade-incorn scheme , will affect indignation the most intense at Pbel's supposing them capahle oflistening to any thing , or agreeing to anything , asptrmitting anything to be passed , hut " Total Repeal . " In all probability we shall have some famous exhibitions
of ** strong language , " " nerTon 3 appeals , " " excellent recommendations , ' and " unmeasured denunciations , " if the people will but humour " the hungry crew so far as to listen to them . The tricks that were played off during the humbug Reform" agitation will be again attempted-Whether Bristol and Nottingham hare been again selected as ihe theatres of the Whig " torch-men ' s " atrocities , we cannot say , not being in their secrets ; but that these things would not be at all Ecrup ed at to serve Whig purposes , we have sufficient evidence in ihe first number of the Chronicle which has issued from the pres 3 since the development of Peel ' s scheme .
Ti . e dirty wretch who performs the work of the millionaires ) commences his article by saying : — " We almost dread to try the patience of the nation , fey a communication of tbe scheme gravely proposed lit ijgat by Sir Robert Peel . " And he concludes his diatribe by pretending . to entreat the public to continue the praiseworthy conduct which has met so poor a requital . " The
scheme , " says he , we know , is calculated to incense them ; but we trust they will bear with their wrongs . We entreat more especially all ivjiuential persons to exert themselves to modbkatb the resentment of these whom their sufferings may haTe made desperate . Let tLcm remind the people that in passing ihe boundaries of the late , they only put weapons imc tbe han ^ s of their oppressors . "
Now , why all this entreaty ? Who is "talking . Mr . Chronicle , of " passing the boundaries of the law r * Who draams of such a thing ? Kone bnfc the Anti-Corn Law League . } these " influential ' friends of yours , Mr . Chronicle , who are so significantly called upon " to exert themselves to 3 I 0 DERATE (?) the resentment of those whose sufferings may hare made them DESPERATE ! " Ko one else , certainly , thinks of " passing the boundaries of the law ¦ " We assure you
that " the public / ' when they think of " passing the boundaries of the law" for a polit-cal measure , will look for one in which they haTe some interest ; net for ** Total Repeal , " which , under present circumstances , would confer benefit only upon the Millionaire Millocrats , and peepkct ruts upon * the Labourers , both agricultural and manufacturing . JTo , no , Mr . Chronicle . It will be of no use for your u lEflaential persons to exert themselves" to this end . " The public" will bnt laugh at you !
It is unnecessary that we should caution the people against the " tricks of the traders " It i ? nnneces ? ary that we should bi-J them rtmember that while the " influential persons" who ** exerted themselves to xodkbate U ) the resentment of the DESPERATE" afc Bristol and Nottingham , escaped scet-free from harm and secured their oicn political ends , the poor dupes whom they incited to "DESPERATION" were tanged !! and transported . It is unnecessary that we should ask them to look on with coolness , and watch rhe
antics of the wretches who so lately crammed into their gaols and infernal Hell-holes five hundred working men , for asking for a political measure that would have beaefitted the people ! It is unnecessary that we should bid them to take care thai if -there be any " passing of the boundaries of the law , " it shall be the Millionaries themselves who so transgress ; and that they do not permit a single working man to be pushed forward by the " influential ' , " into a pomion of danger or harm . It is quite unnecessary that we should do
any of these things . The people have set th « r hearts upon their own work ; they have resisted all the attempts of the : " League" to seduce them from the allegiance they owe to their own order ; and they are not now going to permit themselves to be made the tools of the influential" who are so kindly bidden to modktute ( 1 ) the resentment of the DESPERATE . " No , no ! The people will leave the millionaire milloerats and the aristocracy to fight out by themselves the battle they have entered upon ; while they prosecute their own ¦ ends , see to the signing of their own
NATIONAL , and prepare for the due assembling of their own Convention , to nrge upon the lw Parliament" the claims of .
4 , 000 , 000 01 PEOPLE !! And to do this , they will need no "influential persons" to " exert themselves to moderate (?) the resentment of the DESPERATE I" They know their own work ; they know their own power ; they will u = e that power only for the accomplishment of their own work , not the work of faction ; and if the * ' Leaguers" desire to get out of their " desperate " Etrngsrie with their brother marauders of the aristocracv , without defeat , they rnnst lay aside their
exclusive class pretensions , and " league"' with-the people for right—the right of the whole people—the right of tbe People ' s Charter . The people will be on the alert , and stiek the Charter right bang under the nose of every mother ' s son of them that dares to ask for popular support against Peel , and for B Total Repeal . " Make them swallow the whole hog entire—bristles , snont , and all ! ! No mutilation ! no qualification ! The whole Charter , and no less !

HOUSE OP COMMONS . —Thtesdat , Tne Speaker tock the Chair at four o ' clock . A vast number of petitions were presented against ih = O > ra Laws , and some unimportant orders of the day were disposed of . CoI ' d-1 Sibthort wished to ask the First Lord of the "Treasury a very important question relative to tiie resolutions which were proposed to the Housp last ir . sfrt . It was whether it was the intention of her M . jesty ' 3 Government to make any alterations with regard to the manner in which the duties are now tttfeen ; whether they were to be taken when tbe corn comes into the country , or when it is taken out of bond . Sir Robert Peel said there was no alteration contemplated by her Majesty ' s Government ,
Col . Sibthorp then gave notice that he should call rhe attention of the Committee appointed to investigate this matter to that very important point . Lord Johs Russell said there was a different law with regard to ihe importation of flour into Ireland and England ; for when the admission was prohibited in Ireland , i ; was allowed in England . He wished to " know whether it was the intention of Government to introduce into the Corn Laws that clause which prohibited the importation of flour into Ireland , or whether the same law would apply both to England and Ireland . This subject was one of great interest to tbe Irish , but if the Right Hon . Baronet was not prepared to answer the question at present , be ( Lord John Russell ) would not press for an immediate reply . Sir R . Peel Baid he had reserved that point for another question : be would endeavour to answer the inquiry on Monday next .
AMENDMENT OK THE MIMSTEKIAI , PLAN . Lord ' Joss Rpssell gave notice that on Moaday stsxt , before the Honse went into Commit * se ontb «

Cern Laws , he should move » resolution , the precise words of which he could not give now , but the subtaace of which would be t ; : at in any contemplated alteration of the Cora L&WB , it would be inadvisable io adopt the principle of a sliding scale . ( Hear . ) An Hos . Member , whose name we could not learn , gave notice that on Thursday , the 24 th instant , he should move for a return of the total amount of money received from the Chinese for the ransom of Canton . , . ' . , Mr . Vtt . t . tfrs gave notice that he should take the sense of the House as to the propriety of the imposition of any duty whatever on the importation of corn .
BOLTON— POOR LAWS . Dr . Bowbi ? . g rose to move for copies of communications addressed from Bolton to the Home-Office , duriDg the late Recess , on the smbject of Mr . Mott s Report . TheDoctor entered into a detail of circumstances connected with the condition of the inhabitants of Bolton , which , he contended , had been misrepresented or too favourably depicted in the report of Assistant Poor Liw Commissioner Mott , who had been sent down last autumn specially to investigate . S : r James Geaham was not opposed to tbe production of the documents moved for by Dr . Bowring , adding to them Mr . Mott ' s explanations , as given in his replies to the correspondence with the Home-office .
Mr . Ai > swoeth ( Dr . BowriDg ' s colleague in the representation of Bolton ) added his testimony to the fact of the extent and severity of the distress at Boiton . The mills in Bolton , with the exception of one , were in employment , but were working short time . Lord John Maxnebs , having personally visited Boiton , and witnessed the condition of the inhabitants , also added his testimony to the fact of the distressed condition of the people , and hoped that some measure of relief would be devised . . , Mr . Bkotherton brought forward his motion , that eo opposed business be discussed in the House after twelve o'clock at night , unless a hundred members were present .
Sir Robert Peel , in opposing the motion , did so simply on the ground of expediency , and conformity to estaWithed usages . Mr . Brother-ton ' s arguments for early sittings might or might not be ri&ht and reasonable , but as the habits of society were at pre--ent constituted an entire alteration must take place befs : effect could be given to them . 2 >) r . Bhothehton pressed his morion to a division ' when it was lost by " 2 l'O against 26 . Lord John Russell moved for copies of the letters accompanying tne resignation of the late Chief Justice of the Court of Queen ' s Bench in Ireland and the laie Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland . An impression prevailed that they had withheld their resignation until the political party to which they were attached had come into power ; aud as such an idea was calculated to diminish the respect- due to the independence and integrity of ihe bench , Lord John Rnssell wished to have it set at rest by the production of the correspondence .
Sir Jjlmes Graham , in resisting the motion , attacked the conduct of the late Whig Ministry , and accused them of having tampered with the Judges both in Scotland and in Ireland , by entering into negociations to effect the retirement of particular individuals . He alluded particularly to the cases of Lord Corehonse and Lord Plunket . Mr . Fox Macle stated that he was a party to the negociation alluded to with Lord Corehouse ; and that the circumstances connected With it were such that he , at least , had no cause to shrink from avowing his share in the matter . He then stated the circumstances connected with the case , and would leave the public to judge between his statement of the circumstances and the imputations of Sir James Graham . Sir William Rae ( Lord Advocate ) defended Lord Corehou ? e .
Mr . O'Cojo'ell , who had been appialed to by Sir J : Graham , for his testimony to the merits of Lord Chief Justice Bu .-he , freely declared that he considered him to have beeu amongst the foremost men at the Irish bar—an admirable orator , an excellent lawyer , and an accomplished gentleman . But he had btcome the mere wreck of what he was ; and there was no doubt that he had lingered on the Bench , when incapacitated for his duties , nntil his political friends came into power . Lord John Russell was quite justified in bringing forward his motion on the ground of constitutional jealousy , and care for the integrity and independence of the Bench . Mr . Shaw affirmed that the late Government had Tseen gailty of great jobbing in Ireland , in the disposal of places .
Mr . Wakley considered the discussion to be an exceedingly edifying one . It was only by the quarrels of parties that the public were let into the secret of how those tluBgs were managed . Sir Robert Peel deDied that he had been influenced by peliucal considerations in the appointments which he had made . Lord Johs Russell , in reply , did not pee that any atempt had been made to answer the allegation —that the two judges had lingered on tbe bench till their political friends had come into power . He pressed his motion to a division , whenthere appeared J 48 against , 75 for tbe motion . The House adjourned at a quarter to nine .

LONDON . —Attempt at Suicide . —Between six atd seven o ' clock , on Thursday morning , a middle aged man , who gave the name of John Railton , and who had evidently seen better day 3 , made a most determined attempt at suicide by throwing himself under a waggon , heavily laden , in Whuechapel , High-street . Most fortunately the driver Etopped his horses ia time to save the life of the wretched man , who stated that he was driven to the act from being in a state of actual starvation , not having tasted food for the previous eighteen hours . The poor fellow had 2 s . 6 d . subscribed for him by a few humane persons who saw the attempt ; haTing promised not to repeat it he was allowed to deparf .
Determined Suicide in Grayesem > Reach . —At an eaxiy hour on Thursday moruing , a seaman , named Jones , belonging to a vessel lying in Gravesend Reach , committed a determined act of suicide by throwing himself from the head of the ship into the Thames , in the presence of three of the crew . Every assistance wa 3 made to save him , but without succes ? . Cbdel Robbery . —On Wednesday evening , between seven and eight o'clock , the house of Mrs . Vickers , a poor widow , residing at No . 36 , Newstreet , Vauxhall , was entered during her temporary absence at her next door neighbour ' s , and stripped of every arricle she possessed . What makes the case worse , is that one of her sons ia strongly suspected of having committed the heartless robbery .
The Great Cork Law Cokfebencf . —On Thursday morning , the largeEt meeting of the Anti-Corn Law delegates which has yet been held , took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , Strand , Mr . Taylor presiding . Mr . O'Connell , Colonel Thompson , and several others addressed the meeting at great length , and the plan proposed by Sir Robert Pf el , on the previous evening , was universally denounced as altogether unsatisfactory , and not at all calculated to relieve the distresses of the country , and a resolution to that effect was unanimously adopted .
ASOIHEB EXTBAOHDrSAKT DlSPATCH . —Mr . YftUDg has again laid the country under obligations to him . On Thursday morning we received from Mrs . Mann an extraordinary Lumber of the previous evening ' s Sun , with the whole development of the ministerial scheme of Corn Law reform . Considering that Sir Robert Peel ceased speaking at eight o ' clock on Wednesday evening , and that we had it on our desk before ten on Thursday morning , we calculate that this would have puzzled our grandfathers pretty considerably .

Z . ON 0 ON—Chabtist Triumph and Shamepul Conduct of the ami-Cobn Law Pabtt . —By a report in another par t of our paper , the reader will be aware of the Chartist triumph at the anti-Cora Lair meeting , on Friday evening , at the Literary Institution , Princes-street On that evening , Mr . Leader , M . P ., previously to his leaving the chair , announced that another meeting would be held at the same place , on Tuesday , tiie 8 th , when ample time wonld be allowed for discussion . Mr . Sidney Smith also announced tbe meeting fop Tuesday evening . The Chartists of the Western district , unwilling to lose this opportunity of showing to tbeir fellow-working men the superiority of the agitation for the Charter over the isolated free trade system , mustered in considerable
force . Although it was a wet evening , yet by eight o ' clock &n immense crowd 'was collected round the doors of the Institution , where they were informed that no meeting upon the Corn Laws was to take place , but that a lecture on chemistry was to be delivered to the members of the Institution . Believing this to be a deception , and the crowd continually increasing , Mr . Lgign was deputed to ascertain the reason of this shameful breach of public faith , when it was discovered tril , in consequence of their defeat on the previous evening , a sel-vct committee had met on the Saturday , and put off the meeting sine die—great disappointment being expressed at the conduct of Sidney Smith and the committee . Mr . Leigh addressed the meeting , and moved its adjournment to the Craven Head , Drury
Lane , which was unanimously agreed to , and that tavern waa speedily crowded to excess , every avence being literally blocked up . Mr . Huffy Ridley was tken called to the chair . Mr . Parker moved tbe follomog resolution : — " a hat this meeting hereby express their unqualified disapprobation of the conduct of Sidney Smith and the Committee of the anti-Corn Law Association , in announcing a meeting to be held at the Literary Institution , Princes-street , to discuss the merits of the Corn Laws , and when the audience assembled they were disappointed , by finding the place of meeting closed against them , thereby proving to i 3 emcn » tMtion that they were afraid to meet the public ia open diacufiiion . " Mr . Wilson ably seconded this resolution , which was supported by Messrs . Ford ,

Wheeler , and Whaley , and carried with one dissentient . Mr . H . Leigh then delivered an able , spirited , and eloquent lecture on the fallacies of the free trade sysUm , completely demolishing the cobweb sophistry in which the anti-Corn Law leaden bare entangled themselves and their adherents , and challenged them , one and all , to meet him in fair discussion at Exeter Hall , or any other place of pnblio resort . Mr . Leigh was tremendously cheered daring the whole of his excellent address . At its conclusion , Mr . Parker moved , and Mr . Osborne seconded , in able speeches , the adoption of the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the only practical and
beneficial method of repealing the Corn Laws is by causing the People ' s Charter to become the law of the land . " Mr . Griffiths and another gentleman made some remarks in opposition , which were ably replied to fey Messrs Wheeler , Parker * M'Frederick , and Leigh . The resolution was then unanimously carried . Yotea of thanks were given to the landlords of the house for their uniform kindness in granting to the working classes the use of their spacious rooms , and likewise to the Chairman and lecturer . The meeting then adjourned until tbe next anti-Corn Law meeting , if , after this shameful night , they should have the effrontery to call one . '
Tailors , Bed Lion , king-street , Golden 8 e * ARE . —Mr . Ridley lectured here on Sunday evening . Subject—" Tbe British Constitution" The lecture was highly applauded . The ballot in this locality is in favour of Messrs . M'Douall , Parker , and FusselL Great Chartist Meeting in thb Borough of Greenwich . —Placards were issued convening-a meeting to be held in the rooms of the Lord Duncan , Broadway , Deptford , and stating that the borough Members had been invited and were expected to attend , ou Tuesday evening , February 8 th . At a quarter past seven , Mr . Douglas was unanimously ca led to the chair . Tho spacious room was densely crowded and a great number waiting that could not gain admission . An
adjournment was moved and carried , to a large outhouse , boarded , ceiled , and lighted with gas , capable at least of holding one thousand persons . This immediately became so densely crowded that the windows were obliged to be thrown open to admit air , many standing on tbe outside . The Chairman read the numerously signed requisition and placard convening the meeting . ( Cries of " Are the members for the borough present ?") Chairman—They are n » t present , neither have they sent a reply to the letters requesting their attendance . ( Shouts of " They may look out whenthey want our votes . "/ He than called on Mr . Joseph Morgan to move the first resolution , " That this meeting views with regret and alarm the present unparalleled distressed state of the country , and
it is our opinion a remedy can only be found by the millions inquiring into the present defective state of the representation . " Tbe resolution was seconded by Mr . Paris and supported by Mr . Maynard . Mr . Stanley moved the second resolution as follows ;—" That this meeting is of opinion that the source of all the evils which affect the commui . ity is to be traced to class legislation , and that no emciei't remedy will ever be applied until tbe principles of the People ' s Charter shall become the law of the land . This nieiting therefore adopt the National Petition praying that itH principles shall become law . " Ho would content himse f with so doing , and leave it tj more able men to support Mr . Divies seconded the resolution . Mr . Stall wood was now called on umid cheers to support
the resolution . He spoke at some length , and at the conclusion of his speech , Dr . Drury rose in the midst of the meeting . ( Loud { cries cf " platform . " ) He was at lengtib allowed t j proceed where he was . He said the measures the speaker had advocated could oniy be obt lined at the point of the bayonet . ( Loud shouts of " nonsense , humbug" * ice ) The meeting could not see the danger , the risk , and confusion of carrying it ; he would repeat it could only be carried by brute force . ( Inter ; uption . ) Mr . St * llwood rose and obtained an hearing f-jr the Doctor ; after iterating and reiterating what he bad previously stated , he sat dowu amidst a shout of derisive laughter . Mr . Stallwood , amid loud cheering , replied to and refuted the objections mooted by Dr . Drury , showing that ttie Reform Bill and
Catholic Emancipation had beeu earned witaout a report to brute force ; and as from tho people sprung alike the soldier , policeman , and the money which paid and continued tbeir txutence ; let them only desirt their freedoiU . and they would discovtr the truth tf Lafayette ' s maxim , " that for a nation to be free 'twos sufficient that she wilPd it" ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously , amidst deafening acclamations of applause . Mr . Dodd then read and moved the adoption tf the National Petition , seconded by Mr . Knight . The pttition was then put and carried by acclamation , Dr . Drury being the only dissentient Mr . Firth moved the following address on behalf of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , and all political prisoners : —•• May it pltase your Mojesty , we , your Majesty ' s
subjects , inhaWUut * of the borough of Greenwich , in public meeting assembled , beg leave t > approach your Majesty , e « treatingyour Majestyjto mark the ausplciciu * eveLt of tae christening of the Royal Prince , by granting a free pardon t ) Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all political prisoners , which will be bailed with joy and thankfulness by millions of your much oppressed people . " Mr . Keen cordially seconded the address . Mr . Illingwoith , from Leeds , supported the address . Mr . Dillon , another Irishman like Dr . Dtury , said they were not in a condition t > pass the resolution propounded ; a commission of lunacy ought to be issued against its propoundera . Mr . Palmer , a tradesman of the Borough , rose and said , I promised tho gentleman if I heard a single reason in favour of his amendment , I would second it I have listened in vain ; he has advanced none . ( Loud cheers . ) He has told you this
was not a meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough ; this was a very large room , but certainly not large enouj , k . Had it been the month of June instead of the month of February , and we could have met under the canopy of heaven , he had no doubt we Bhould have had 20 , 600 persons present ( Great app ause . ) He was fond « f ins ; ruction— -an enthusiast in favour of education . He had made inquiries of the learned and instructed , and could not discover a single error in the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Feeling as be did the full force of their beauty , justice , and truth , if he lost the whole of his customers tomorrow he would retain his opinions , and continue a Chartist ( Loud applause ) The address was then put and carried unanimously . A . vote of thanks was then given to the chairman , a great number of signatures added to the petition , and the meeting dispersed .

HULL . PUBLIC MEETING , in FREEMASON'S HALL , ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED COTTON SPINNERS . Considerable excitement has been prevalent in Hull , for some few days back , in consequence of tho turn out of the weavers , and , ultimately , we understand , of all the hands employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills . About three years ago , one of the Hells of modern
civilization , a Cotton Mill was erected in the Groves , a joint-stock , concern , upon a somewhat extensive scale , the property of ft company of speculators , most of them entirely ignorant of the business , and conducted in all its practical operations , by a Manager , whose business , of course , was to see that whatever became of the vi workics , " the " Capital" of the Company should return a fair per centage , besides paying his aud his assistants' salaries , the amount of which we do not know , though we have been told that they are enormous .
Factory workers were induced , by representations of good wages and plenty of work , to immigrate from the factory districts of Cheshire and Lancashire , only to find out that they had made an exchange greatly for the worse . The poor creatures struggled with their fate for a long time in silence ; but the patience even of Englishmen does not always last , and they , at length , made a show of resistance in the shape of a " turnout . " ... '¦ ¦ ¦ During the past week placards were issued , of which the following is a copy : ¦—
" Tyranny , oppression , and reduction , at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills 11—An appeal of the turn-out cotton weavers , of the above mills , to the inhabitants f Hull . —Friends , and Brother Operatives , —It is with feelings of deep regret , that we have to inform yon of some of the over-bearing acts of oppression which has been imposed upon us for a considerable length of time at the above factories , and tbe present attempt of the manager to oppress us still further ; which is the cause of our present turn-out For a long time our wages have been lowering by degrees ; and they are now such miserable pittances that they will scarcely keep us from starving : being on average , for a two-looni weaver , ( a class of workpeople from sixteen to fifty years oi age ) , not more than six shillings per week ; and fot
which , we have to labour hard from twelve to fourteen hours per day . The master thinking these ' good wages ' too much , now makes another attempt to lower them still more ; the circumstances of which , are as follows : — Early last week , there were put upon the looms , what are called Belf-acting temples , " which are to us of no benefit whatever , but for which , the manager told us that our ' good wages' would be reduced , by taking therefrom , to tho amount of twopence in the shilling . Having put np with reductions like this , time after time , we determined to d > so no longer ; and the whols of us that were ' favoured' with the ' self-acting temples , 'immediately left our work * and appointed a deputation to wait upon the manager , to txj if they could reason with him , and show him the injustice which he
wanted to inSict upon u »; acoordlngly the deputation waited upon him , whom he called a aet of madmen , who did not know when they bad good masters ; that tbeir wages were reduced on account of the accursed Corn Laws ! . ' That they had ' good wages' still ; that he would not be talked to by them ; and that they were to be off about their business , as be bad nothing more to say . In this condition are ire placed by the grinding influence of Mammon . We would also state , that in all otber cotton districts where the self-acting temples" are used , the workmen receive better wages than we did without them ; in fact , our wagas generally are coniiderably lowet .

•' Oppression Exposed !! The inhabitants of Huil are respectfully informed , that a public meeting yriU be held in the Freemason ' s Lodge , MytoDgate , on Monday evening next , February 7 th , 1842 , to eommence at half-past seven o ' clock , when a full and correct exposure will bp given of the horrid and almost unparalleled treatment practised by the man-iger upon the cotton weavers , kc , at the Hull Flax and Cotton mills . Subscriptions will be thankfully received at tbe door , to support the cotton weavers on strike . ' * The spacious hall , capable of holding more than 1000 perBon 8 , was crowded to excess . Mr . Samuel Healy was called to the chair . The Chairman reaa the placard calling the meeting , and alao . a long
statement of facts of tho most appalling character , in reference to oppressions of the poor weavers and spinners in this den of hdrrori . Mr . James Hastington then addressed the meeting at sbma longth , after which the following resolution waa moved ; by Mr . Lundy , andBecpuded by Mr . Matthews ;— " That this meeting having heard with deep regret , the appalling statements that have been made re-pecting the hornd oppressions ^ practised upon the workmen employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills , by the manager thereof , do sympathise with the men , and pledges itself to support them in their Btrike against unparalleled oppression . " It was supported by Mr . Hornsby and others , and carried unanimously .
Mr . Lundy then moved , and Mr . Hornsby seconded another resolution , to the effect that a report be inserted in the Star , to caution the Lancashire people against being allured to the cotton mills of Hull . The Chairman made an appeal to the meeting , on behalf of the turnouts , after which the following resolution was moved , seconded , and oirried unanimously : — "That the thanks of this meeting are duo to Mr . Samuel Healeyj for having so ( promptly rendered assistance to our fellow townsmen in giving publicity to their base usage , through the press . " Mr . Healey replied brieny to the resolution . A great impression was made on the meeting by the appalling statement of facts . A collection was made for tho weavers at the door .
We do hope that these suffering men will not be permitted by the virtuous , and , generally speaking , well-off population of Hull , to bo borne down in this struggle with an insidious and powerful foe : we would al ? o extend this appeal to their brethren of the factory districts in Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire . Bad as the condition of the factory people in these districts is , their brethren of Hull are in a worse condition . Do not , then , suffer the insatiate monster , ' capital , ' to make even that worse still . "We are glad to : learn that at the meeting on Monday night , almost every speaker , iustanccd the present as another of the many evidences why the people should be unanimous ia their demand for the Charter as the only efficient measure of protection . ,

H , Candy lectured here on Wednesday , when an Association was formed , and fifteen members were enrolled , oXiDHAM . —Public Meeting on the Cobn Laws . —Tfc is long-anticipated meeting was convened by a requisition , numerously signed , and was held on Wednesday evening last . The announcement was given by large flaming bills , and the affair having been long in contemplation , had been the means oi creating extraordinary excitement betwixt the
Chartists and the Corn Law repealers . The Chartist Committee had , from the commencement , understood ffom the opposite party that fall , fair , free , and equal discussion would be allowed , and that each party would be allowed to invite what amount of talent they thought necessary to support the views of the respective parties on the subject ; also that proper time would be given to every speaker , and the contest so justly regulated as to have man for man . It was , therefore , thought by the Chartist Committee that the great guns of the League would be present . They on their part invited Messrs . Wast , Bell , Clarke , and Griffia to support the Charter . The time announced for commencement of business was seven o'clock ; but long before
that hour large numbers were wending their way to the Town Hall , tho place of meeting , and when the doors were thrown open there was a general rush to gain admittance , whilst the respectables eame in by a side door and monopolised : the platform and front seats . Considerable noise and confusion took place , before a chairman could be appointed ; and at length Mr . John Brierley was { duly elected . It was then made known to the committee and meeting that the parties callingthc meeiinghad invitednojextra talent ; on these grounds strangers were prevented speaking . By this previously concerted trick they war © enabled to bring their own speakers ready prepared to the meeting ; while the Chartists' arrangements were all thrown into disorder : they having arranged for
two townsmen to move and second an amendment if necessary ; but depending for discussion on the strangers present by invitation . To meet the exigency speakers had now to be called from the meeting , unprepared of course with documents or ny means of argument than their general knowledge of the tubjeot . Notwithstanding all , howeverr , the CharUst amendment moved by Mr . Crowder , and seconded by Mr . Smethurst , was carried by a considerable majority : though of course the League m » n in the chair declared it lost . The speeches of the Anti-Corn Law orators were of a character to deprecate as much as possible the perseverance of the Chutists . Much . dissatisfaction wa » expressed at the partial and unfair dceiaioa of the ChairMan ,

TO THE EDITOR OF TUB NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Will you allow me to trespass on your columns by making a few observations in your next Saturday ' s War ? And first ,. allow , me to remark , that 1 am a strenuous advocate for Universal Suffrage ,. Vote by Ballot , and , in sVpft , tha whole of the claims set up by the supporters of the People ' s Charter . I have thought it best to make tfetse few preliminaiy remarks to obviate any miaeonception , as to the motives ot the writ *! - in advancing the following few fitiott remarks on a subject in waich I am aware the Chartists in general do not CJincide . I allude to the subject of the Corn Laws . . . .. ' " ' . ¦ , ¦; . ' . ¦¦' . These laws , I believe , are allowed by the great body of your numerous readers , and of the party to which you belong in general , ; te be not only a great national fcvil , but a palpable and bartfacen fraud committed by the privilegfed few at the expense of the oppressed and deeply injured many .
Taking it for granted that the position I have assumed will not be controverted by the vast mass of the industrious population of Greav Britain , I shall here take leave to question the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the Anti-Corn Law League , and the Corn-Law Repealers in general . My grounds for so doing are as follows : —It appears perfectly clear and satisfactory ^ to luyself , at leaBt , that , taking into consideration the position .. ami resources of rulers—I mean the landed Aristocracy-r-it . is .. utterly and totally impossible to repeal these obnoxious laws , with the franchise constituted'as-itis atpresent ; the game to be played being in the bands of the very legislators who have a vital interest in their being suffered to exist in their present { to
them ) convenient shapo . Assuming , then , this to be correct , and takiDg into ennsideration the great | dcpression in trade , pressing With a giant ' s grasp at the life aad existence of every branch and ramitfestion of the comniercial system , and threatening its annihilation , I would aak whether it ia not natural that the trading interest should feel a desire for the removal of that pressure which is crippling its resources and destroying its being ? a position which many , I may say mo * t of the manufacturers and tradespeople , attribute to the baneful operation of the Corn Laws . I shall anticipate your answer by assuming it to be in the affirmative . It then follows , as a matter of course , that if my premises are bo far correct , tbe question at issue will 8 t'J . nd thus . — .
It is essential , In the views of the commercial world , that to preserve the trade of the country the Corn Laws should be repealed . Granted ' : but this cannot be done without an > xt-jnsion of the suffrage ; ergo , the agitation of the Corn Law question ia of immense benefit and advantage to the claimants of the Charter , by serving as a means—and a capital one too--t& enlighten those now opposed to their views by showing that their only chance of redress is to join tbeir rankE—the folly of thinking to obtain their rigbts without it being too
apparent to admit of either question or cavil ; and , irgo , that on these grounds—selfish ones if you like to call them so- —if on no other , all parties ought to join in the repeal cry , if only to convince the pretended liberals , wbo are actuated only in their exertions by sordid notions of self-aggrandisemert , that they are building on a saady foundation ; and , ergo , ttiat " the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the anti-Corn Law League , and the Corn Law repealers in general , " is by no means apparent , and wants confirmation ^^
" Quod erat demonstrandum . " My letter has extended to a greater length than I intended when I commenced ; but if ita insertion in your paper meets with yonr approbation , it will oblige , Your obedient servant , Brutus . Heywood , 2 nd February , 1842 . ,
