At this time thtreVere aboui fifty or sixty istslligent profit- mongers and pro * perty men in the room . Seeing they would hare no meeting , ths Mayor issued orders to allow the -working tttn to come in , to nil up the Tacant space . In consequeues of the rain tilling so very heavy , the greater part of the working ma had gone homa Two resohiticms , relating to the distressed state of the Borough "were pa ^ fcsd , v ? hen
Mr . Bagshsw , a " Liberal , " ( which is , by the way , a very convenient term . ) propose a resolution to the efftei , that the restrictions on commerce "were the cause of tha distress . - Mr .

Ha said he had that day listened to the recital of facts of the mo ; t revoliinjz nature . He hesrd of men of property bci : ; i ? almost ruined . , of sbupk&epers haviDg expectations of going to

Mr . Clark—Oh , indeed , SirI Why d'd you r . ot s » op the prpceaing speakers -R-hon they introduced ths question af the Corn Laws ? She Mayor—That is quit © different . You know 31 r .

Mr Ciaik—Then , Sir , you neither can nor shall prevent me from proceeding . I , Sir , have as muca right to &'nance my upicions as any other individual . Thf- ilayer—But before ycu proceed , en what ground do you demand a hearing ? Do you come undt-r any of U > ose several denominations ?—you are not a shopkeeper , cr anything of that sort Mr .

T ^ s mseting by thi 3 time had become quite uproarious , the intelligents rearing like mad bulis , the workingmen sh-juung " co on . " The Mayor tried again to get a heirixLZ , but the working men * t re so disgusted at hi > conduct , that they wou ' . d not hear a word he hiid to s . iy . He then turned to ilr . Ciark in the most Bupplicanng manner , as much as to say *• do pacify them . " Mr . Ciark then rose acd got him a hearing . He stated thr .: he had always acred fair towards the Cfcartiscs , "bci tills time he hcp d we should all be unaninjeaa . N- ' -w ha coped > Ir .

Having read the amendment , he was proceeding to speak to it , when the Mayor rose in a 5 t of rage , an ^ sai d he should Dot allow Mr . Ciark to say anything about the CLarter . 3 ii . Ciark—Ton cannot h-ip y&urself . I am only exercising a light which the ia ^ rs of the couatry , bad as t . ity are , have guaranteed me .

aaa . iu-t the oppessor , of right against might , of virtue a $ a " :: i ; -t privileged vice—it is our duty to show respect to his memory . An-i as the eneHiy may attempt to stigmatise his character , as well now that he is dead && ¦ alien he was living—for the tongue of interested vii suy can never be at rest , —it is my intention to show that his conduct was worthy of imitation , and tha- be was so triitor , nor assassin , no spoliatorth = ar , hear )—though he wished to assassinate all inju-tk- «? . and to spoil the base designs of the enemy . L *; t toe ask , was Qe a triitor because he wished to four > 3 Government on the affections of the people , and to ismke all existing instltu ' . ions conform to the spirit , v-j : ! * , ana intellicence of the age ? "Was he a traitor becsusa he -wished society from the highest to the

" Oh , no ; he « u no traitor , so aff » tP " nj no spoliator ; he did not want to rob the rich for the sake of giving to the poor ; he did cot want to pntl down one class to pat another in their stead .

those principles on our behalf fur wkich this patriot gave aphis lie on the shrine of his " country . Though Hoiberry was a young man , like myself , naturally enthusiastic in all that concerred his country , be it not supposed that he was indiscreet or ill-advised in the coarse he took . You all know on what evidence I and my friend Bnlwell were sent to prison- Ton know w « sll that the witnesses against us were men who had neither the fear of man or God before their eyes . My suffering was nothing compared to what Holberry endured—he had been two years in prison , kept from all friendly interct < urge with his friends , notaliuwed even to interchange a smile , or kind word , "with one who loved him as dearly as her own life . When he found that he was sinking , that Le was daily getting worse , he wrote a letter to a
fiiead , in which be said , * that unless he shortly was restortd to liberty , he should sink into the grave * , ' and te show the spirit of this good man , let me state that in this very same letter he said , that he would rather that such should he the case than he become a burden to bis friends . " Yet so pure a spirit , so good a man , met with no sympathy from his enemies ; no , they must indulge th ^ -ir thirst for . persecution in tbe Wood of the martyr . iCri . es of shame . ) Tbe Secietary of State , though be had certificates from the doctor of the prison , stating that Holberry would not long survive if not di&charetd , did not see grounds to justify him to recommend her Mrjesty to grant his discharge . Now , friends , let me ask , would it not have be ^ n better that Hclberry had ciied at onee on the scidFald ?—( hear , he
hear , *— for in th ^ t case would have lingeredhis Bufferings would soon have been over ; the cares about hia wife , whom he thought was unprovided for , would uot long have haunted his solitude , nor the " proud man ' s contum ^ y" nor *¦ insolence of office " Ioqk disturbed his repo&a . But he was not sentenced todeutti ; but then be "was pour . Had be b * en a rich man . ha woaH not have died in prison . The Whig Secretary of State did not t-vff-r Mr . O Connor to die in prison ; nor Mr . Kjbeits Ions to remain there , after it was known that be was in ill health . Thus -we pertewe that wealth has e" » cry privilege , every advantage , ¦ while honest poverty is press-d to the earth—ihear , hesr . ) Is this right ? Is this consonant with the Christian doctrine , " 60 unto others as ycu would be
done by ? " This distinet : on will be nude till the working classes are represented in the House of Commons —( cheers ) Holbfrry knew this ; ke saw with indignation that this ¦ nnjust . cV'sVmction wa « made , centrary to all sound morality aDd divine law . He saw , too , in sorrow , up- ^ n what plea the poor nnn wa 3 obliged to starve in a land of plenty . He saw kow nrgustly things were managed ; he saw a state church shallowing up annually twelve millions of mosey , ^ rong from the toil and sweat of the industrious millions ; he knew we have th ? Queen receiving t-very y ? ar more than is found necessary to carry on all the tfiF ^ i ra of the American G ^ verament . He knew , too , that the army and navy cost upwards of fourteen millions every year in one
¦ way or another . H « knew all fhis , and , with such kno ^ ltcJi . e , is it surprising that he became a Chartist aeithtor ? He knew that Charism was the only means of remedying this state of things , bence he became zrilously affected in its advocacy . Let us , then , cherish his memory In our s ^ uis , and let ub imitate his conduct so go ^ d , so patriotic . L ? t ub show to the ¦ world that he has not died in va » n and let us teach the enemy that bis death—that the death of Claytonthat the impritonment of 300 and more of our brethren —that the banishment of Frost , Williams , and Jones , have but served to animate us to new exertions . Let not the enemy , by any means , drive us from our holy purpose . Let the spirit of tbe departed dead hover round , and cheer U 3 on . Our cau ^ e is £ ood , and we
mn * t make up our minds to suff .-r for its sake . K » - member Chrihtiar . ity at its introduction into the world mtt with deidiy opposition . Every Dew truth , if it in any wise militated against the interests of Herod rn trs , or Iscariot pritats , has been sure ta procure for its prcp ^ under their bittt-rtat hat-ed"aud persecution . But , It-t me ssk , has not perercution ever failed in its o ^ jrct ? Did the banishment of Muir , Palmer , ard GfiTold , Heformers of Scotland , prevent Reform taking place in 1832 ? Did the ex-efficio Informations during the administration of Cutlereagb . . intimidate t ^ e people from the pnrsuit of justice ? Was the leve of liberty destroyed r . y the murder of Sydney , of Emm > tt , or <> f any other t-f the martyrs ? Let the three million signatures to the National Petition
answer . Ko , the love of liberty cannot be destroyed : it is ss eternal as tbe bills , and pll-ptrvaditg like tbe elements which cave us life and motion . The speaker here pointed out in wum language the progress liberty has made iu various parts of tbe world ; he referred to Swirsrrland , America , Spain , and Mexico , and other countries as pistes where Uemoc : atic principles had bet ; n established in despite of ptretcution and all tbe powers of the enemy . He next oba = rved , tea people here , see that the same system is at work which for years has irflleted immense misrry on the country , in breakins up the hi . * m ? s of ones-ha&py families , in rninin « our trade and commerce with othtr nations , in
filling our g&olsend workhouses with victims , and our lunatic asyiums with those whom excessive care and toii and swt-at consequent on the evils arising from this system , have d . iven to madness . Thousands upon thourands fail every year victims to this system ; ytt for s'riving to jzet riri of it poor Hoiberry , on the evidence of spies , was cast into prison , where he died after a lingering illne&e . The speaker went on toexaort bis aujiecca to imitate , the txaiuple of bo cood a man iss Holberry evidently wa ? , and then apoealen to his audience on behalf of tbe victims Pnldie and Brook . He corcluded a long a- < "dr £ t « , of « hich the above is but a brief sketch , amid much applause . of

who were moving under the guise of being Chartists , had no end in- view but the repeal of the corn laws Mr . Hay ward said it was evident Vh » t we were noticed . The Baih Journal had spoken loudly againBt the treatment Holberry received in prison ; and that paper had , when speaking of tb » distress of the ooantry advised the u * e of physical force . What -would be said of that ? There was a change I Mr . Phillips rese again , and observed that he had learned from last Saturday ' s Sun that the anti-Corn Law League were about to get up another petition for tbe repeal of the Corn Laws ; and tbafe they bad applied to Bomo leading Chartists for assistance , but had not been successful—( hear , hear , hear . ) Mr . P . said it was evident that Government had sent out spies , and he hoped the people would be on their guard . Mr . Hopkins and Mr . Furse were the persona who next addressed the meeting .
ilr . BAaTi . ETT now rose to move the second resolution in regard to Mr .. Roebuck ' s conduct on the occasion of the debates in the Commons on the National Petition ; but owing to there being not to full a meeting as be wished , he thought it proper , and be had been advised by Mr . Twite and other friends round about him , to postpone the consideration of this subject till another occasion , when ample justice can be done lo it It was therefore deferredi Mr . Roberts next spoke . After the usual compliments had been paid , the meeting broke up .

Af tt r various motions for the adjournment of thi 8 di > "uss : on , Mr . Wallace s resolution were put , and were negatived by 174 to 4 y . Thu House went into a committee of supply , pro forma ; aft = r which some other business was disposed of , ana the House adjourned .
Monday , July 11 . ' Mr . Sharma ^ Cbawfohd sai d he had to present a remonstrance irem the inhabitants of Rochdale , in public meeting assembled , complaining of the distress of tbe country , which was to the tfftjet—1 . That the people of the United Kingdom are now suffering unparalleled distress , as proved by various Pdriianifntary aud other documents ; 2 . That deaths from destitution , and commission : of crime from absolute want are daily occurring and rapidly increasing . &c ; ~ v . 3 . That not only are the working classes sunk to the deepest diatrcss , but the middle classes are rapidly descending to the s . me state : ¦ ¦ - .-.. ¦
4 That during the existence of this condition of the people , the annual production of wealth from the resourc s of the empire bas increased in a remarkable decree , an anomaly which can only be accounted for by tae monopoly of political power , the unjust usurpation of authority , and tbe consequent bad Government of the nation ; 5 . Tuat t 1 e great mass ol the people are not represented in Parliament ; that , therefore , legislation is couduct- ^ d for the benefit of a class , and not for the interests of the gn-at body of the people ; 6 . Tftat the unenfranchised people have petitioned bunibly and repeattdlv without the smallest effect , or even a prof-pect of leliuf ; 7 . That 3 500 . 000 people prayed by petition to be be .-. r . l : it the bar of ycur House , but that hearing was denifl , and at the same time their objects cruvlly misrepresented ;
8 . That the people , therefore , have no hopes of redress from a House of Cjlnmons constituted 08 the pre « = nt ; 9 . That the people assembled on this occasion now submit this iatt declaration to your Honourable House , deeply deploring tbe utt « r disregard by your House of their petitions , and drwidi-. g tbe consequences to which that disregard may lead ; 10 . Tie people now assembled hereby declare that they will take such pr . icefu ! and legal steps to remedy their condition as th « well being of society , the security of property , and their extreme sufferings imperatively demand . ( Signed , on behalf of the meeting , ) Thomas Livesev , Chairman . The Speaker intimated , that in such a shape it could not be r-sceived .
Mr . s . Crawford inquired ¦ whether there was any standing rula or order of the House against receiving such a document ? The Speaker said , it was contrary to the practice of the House to receive papers framed as remonstrances . " Mr . T . Duncombe presented a petition from Shefflrld , prsyihgfor an inquiry into the cause of the death ¦ f Samuel Hulberry , who was imprisoned in York Castle for a political offence , and who had recently expired there . The petitioners were of opinion , that the rnles for the government of gaels were not properiy attended to ; and that , if they had been , the life of Holberry might have been saved . Mr . T . Duncombe gave notice that he should move that the remaining supplies , except those for China , Syria , and . Canada , be granted for three months only .
Mr . Leader complained that the Treasury subs had joekeyed him by reading thy Municipal Corporations Bill a third time , contrary to their agreement with him . Si , R Poel pleaded totil ignorance cf any such act or intention . Sir R . Peel , in moving the Order of the Day for a C ^ mmi'tee of Supply , entered "into an explanation of Lord Palmerston ' s statement that L » rd Auckland had been asked by the Tories to remain in the Government of India Sir Robert denied that the Government had
done any such thing , thouch he could not answer for the contents of LoTd Ellenborough ' s private letter . Lord Puimerston repeated and justified his statement . A . brief conversation then took place about the Affghan war , " and the conduct of the Directors . Mr . ¦ Hogg stated that no such proposal as that attributed to Lord Ellenborough should have been officially made withont the sanction of the Directors , and as trwy fenew nothing of it , he implied that no such fficial communication had ever been made to Lord Auckland .
On the motion for going into a Commute of Supply , Mr . Villiers moved for a Committee of the whole House to consider of repealing the Corn Laws , and the snhjrct occupied the House till twelve o'clock , when it divided . Tee numbers w ^ re— 231 . tor a Committee of Supply , and 117 fur-Mr . Yillii-rs' motion . The motion was support-d by Mr . Til iers himself , 5 Ir . Hindley , and others , but principally by Mr . Cobden . Lord John Rus-ell . who went further than even Lord Howick approved of , aud Lord Howick , supported Mr « Vill ! er 8 . Sir R ) l > ert Peel waa their principal opponent . Jn the coarse of hLs speech he auuouaced the conclusion of the coramercia treaty with Portugal . Fatiguing as the debates may be—for even the great importance of the subject cannot redeem its weariness—they are not continued without having considerable influence on the Housa .
The House afterwards went into a Committee of Supply , voted a sum for Canada and other public services , sat till three o ' clock , and then adjourned .

French Band of Robbers . —The trial of thirtyseven of a band of sixty-nine thieves and robbers , organised into a systematic Association , has occupied the Court of Assizes for tea days , ending on Saturday last . It is impossible for as to enter upon the details of these protracted proceedings ; suffice it to say that the acts of these malefactors embraced every species of depredation and outrage that the ingenuity and daring of such men could devise and accomplish . The Jury were five hoars and a half in considering their verdict , and at ten o clock declared the whole of the prisoners guilty , some with aggravating , some extenuating circumstances . The Court retired to deliberate upon the judgment , and remained out till one in the morning . The President then delivered sentence , condemning the prisoners to various punishments—from thirty years' hard labour at the hulks down to five years' simple imprisonment . Among the first category there were eight women .

SOUTH SHlBLps .--On Snnday afternoon , Mr . William ' s , in compliauce with an invitation , visited this place , for the purpose of delivering an address on the death of Holberry . The place selected for the meeting was on the Bents , or sea Banks , opposite Tynemouth . It was admirably adapted for the purpose , and ai noble assembly there was . It was ^ estimated that there were upwards of 2 , 006 present . Mr . WilliamB , after britfly stating the facts relative te Holbeay ' B conduct , arrest , trial , conviction , and imprisonment , tben proceeded to show why Holberry bad embraced Chartist principles , and why , in an erring moment , he had been led to use the yreapons of his oppressprs , in endeavouring to arrest by night what had been denied to the calm demands of justice . The
general scope of his address was as follows t—Holberry was a working man , a producer of wealth . That which he , along with his brother millions , produced , he was not permitted to enjoy ; instead of that , poverty an ( i toil , and sufferina was his portion > ---while he saw : privileged idlers wallowing In the superabundant wealth which he and his class had produced . Common sense , and a sentiment of justice , taught him , this was a grievous wrong . Oppression , therefore , made him feel , feeling prompted him to inquire , aud . to' think about the cause * or causes , of such an unnatural and unjust state of things—inquiry and rtflectipn led to a discovery of the grand , of the all-comprehensive cause of his sufferings * That cause he found t <¦> be , that he was subjected to the operation of laws affecting his labour ,
liberty , and happiness , which laws were riiade by ethers , by the idlers , the drones ; and therefore for them , and not for him . He laboured for the benefit of his brethren , to make known the cause , and with the friends of human right , he combined to remove it . He petitioned for it ;) removal . His petition and the petitions of mllHona was treated with contempt s and insultingly rejected . ! ( Hear , hear . ) He was told by one of those privileged law make ™ , that he" iftight as well petition the rock ef Glibr&itar" as that body . Their acts proved ita truth , and Holberry believed it . He ¦ not only saw the petition of plundered minions treated with cruel neglect , but he also saw those who had dared to advocate the cause of the oppressed , sefzad anon , dragged before the tribunals of the
oppressors ^ there , condemned and consigned to a dungeon residence and felon's treatment . Thi « r acting upon hia sensitive sympathetic nature , maddened him . Having seen that this fraud and oppression waa committed by force , be concluded that as . the oppressors were deaf to reason and honour , they might be alive to fear , —the fear of being compelled to diseorge by force what they had got or aiaintained by forced The vile oppressors knew what was working in the mind of Holberry and his brethren , they therefore sent am ongst them the insidious and perfidioua spy . tofan the nam « s of patriot indignation' and to report the procrese of their hellish work . Plots were formedi but their secrets were nisde known , the enemy ; was prapareil , and when the libur for action arrived , the oppressors ppunced upon their unsuspecting victims—Holberry was Bucb . a victim . For thia he was convicted ,
condemned , imprisoned , teitured , destroyed . Mr . Williams , lin support of the latter statement , anal } zsd the evidence given before the Jury , which evidencs clearly proved that the parties holding Hblbeiry in bond , knew that disease was making rapid inroads on a once powerful constitution . They knew that that disease was the result of mental agony , by long : connuement , unsuitable Aiet and other privations to which Holberry was subjected , knowing the fact of dlseiee , the cause of it , its progress , and hia approaching death , according to all the ordinary and just process of reasoning , it must be inferred that they either actually intended that Holberry should be destroyed , or they were altogether indifferent as to the result In either case , they who held Holberry in such bondage , under Buch circumstances , wire deseiving aV least of the severest reprobftUon . They d'jservecl in fact the legal punishment annexed to Hnch a serions and inhuman offence . Mr .
Williams then concluded by an impressive appeal on behalf of Holberry ' 8 widow and family . Tho sum of £ l 7 si 9 d . was collected . BISHOPWBARMOUTS . — SlRJ --The ChaitistS of the New Town class , Bishopwearmouth , at their weekly meeting , assembled on Saturday , the 9 th of July , I being appointed chairman am directed by that clnRB to stete unto you that having taken the Northern Star from its first commencement to this present time , they feel it their bounden < luty to acknow ( edge , svfter mature consideration , its columa have at all times been directed to the general good in the cause of Chartism ; they therefore Lave unanimously passed a vote of con ^ - dence in its editor , the Rev .

SUNDEKI . AND . —Oa Sunday evening last , at six o ' clock , Mr . Williams lectured on tlieTown Moor . AS the raoUo of his address , be took the following words : — "Da not rich men oppreasye , and bring ye before the judgment seats ? "r f his he applied to the persecution of Chartist political Keformers , and particularly to the case of Mr . Mason and the Stafford victims . There waBa good audience , and at the close of Mr . Wllliams ' s address tbe sura of 10 s . 9 d . was collected towards the Stafford Victims Fund . MANCHESTER , —Carpenters HAtL . —A public meeting was held in the above hall on Sunday afternoon , to hear a lecture delivered by Mr . Biirstow . On the motion of Mr .: D unavan , Mr . Tinker was called to the chair . > Ir . Bairstow delivered a long and able
address ,-in the course of which , in allusion to the distress of the country , he said : —Look at the condition of the people of the town in which we stand , the epporium of commerce , and what do we see ? Viist numbers in the bastile , hundreds immured in the body and soul-destroying factories , ; and thousands who are compel . ed to sisk alms . Were they willing idlerawe would not pity them , or consider them worthy of a sight or of our sympathy . But when , w © find ) 20 000 in this town out of employment , unable to beg bread , unable to get relief , and no tribunal to give thun _ justice , it is therfcforo time that we united to ; destroy ' the monster class legislation that has produced such a state of things . , The sons of Britain are not what they formerly were . Starvation ha 6 destroyed afi that soul and energy
that our forefathers possessed . The condition of the British operative is worse than the savage in . his wigw&va , or the cannibal of New Zjaiancl ; and this state of things exist , in Christian JSiigland in the nineteenth century , after a ten years' reform ; and notwithstandr ing the sad and deplorable condition of thc . working classes , the manufacturers are determined to make it worse , for in Stoekport last night the cotton spinners received notice of a further reduction of fifteen per cent in their wages . At Patricroft , laat night , there were forty mechanics discharged- In Bolton there are eight thousand out of employment ; and in Wigan the state of the people is dreadful ; many ; of them remain iu bed the whole : cf the day to stfle the cravings of hunger , In Liverpool there are fi'ty-three
thousand persons rise from their beds each morning , not k owing were their breakfast must conie from . In Accrington , with a population of nir . e thpusaDd , there are not more than one hundred fully employed . In Colne th - hand-loom weaver has to weave one hundred and thirty yards of cloth for 2 s . 6 d ,, and , in many cases ; to carry it seven or eight miles . In Birmingham , there are twenty thousand out of employmeut . and the poorrates have doubled this year . ; In Sheffield there are from fourteen to fifteen thousand out of employment ; add such are the demanda upon the poor-rates that they are four times asheavy this year as they were last . In the town of Leicester the condition of the people is shocking ; they hod banded themBelves in companies of twenty or thirty persons to go and besr , and the
magistrates had put a stop to thorn , and now , if five or six peor fellows , with poor clothing upon their backs , are Btanding togethsr in the street , the police take them up . The number of persons ; in Leicester , employed in the frame-work department , in 1818 , was thirty-two thousand ; and their wages were 26 s . per week . In 1836 , the number was thirty-s ' x thousand , and their wages 7 s . 6 d . per week . In 1841 , the number was forty-six thousand , and their wages 4 s . per week , and this only when they had work ; out of this , alBOi they have to pay rent fer their frames , working or not , and it is no uncommon thiug for a man to be out of work for two ' or three weeks , and when he gets Work the whole of his week ' s work is stopped by the master for frame renfc Mr . Bairstow then gave a dreadful account of the condition of the ; agricultural labourers ,
whose lot was not better than tbe manufacturing population . He concluded by tracing all this to the result of class legislation , and exhorted to unity on behalf of the Charter . Mt . Bairstow aat down amidst the repeated applause of the meeting . —Mr . Knfght then proposed Mr . Hampson , wholesale provision dealer , of Ancoata-street , as a member of the National Charter Association , which was seconded by Mr . Chamberlain , and carried unaniaioaaly . —The Chairman then called upon Mr . J > . Boss , who , on rising , was greeted with a bunt of applause . He addressed the meeting for a short time in his usual eloquent manner , and laid before them some appaling accounts of destitution which ho had been an eye-witness to amongst the handloom weavers at Blackburn . The thanks of the meeting were given to Messrs . Bairstow , Boss , and the Chairman , and the meeting separated .
In the evening , at half-post six o ' clock , there was another meeting in the above HalL Oa the motion of Mr . Johnson , Mr .

Bairatow delivered a lecture in the Chartist Chapel , Middtetpn , On the present position of the people and the People ' s Charter . The discourse was one of the moat excellent we ever heard . He clearly and eloquently depicted what was the cause of the distress of the industrious millions , and very forcibly Shewed that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would bring contentment and happiDeas to this once ^ g lorious but nowmost distressed people of this empire . At the conclusion four new members were enrolled .
GIASCJOW ;—Mr . Robert Lowery delivered two lectures here last week * on tbe eveDings of TueBday and Fridays in the Chartist Church . Mr . Lowery travelled from Arbroath that day , anil the boat having , from adverse winds , been detained on ths passage between Arbroath and Leith several hours beyond her time , he did not . ¦ arrive in Glasgow till a fewminutes to ten o ' clock ; l > ut the interval was well occupied , iir . Jamea Prouiifeot took the chair , and Mr . > lqir being called upon , addressed the meeting at some length , amidst rapturous applause . Mr . Kidd was next , called upou , but did not proceed far when Mr . Lowery was announced , on 1 trtiieh Mr . Kidd sat do wn , ¦ ' ' saying he was ; then to listen . not to speak . Mr . Lowery rose amidst loud cheers , and having brieflrstated the cause of his
detention , entered upon his subject ,-, namely— " The present diatresa , its cause , and th « necessity of a union of the honest of all classes to reaioVe it . " which he handled in a clear and maatefiy style , shewing the contemptuous pretensions of the framers of the Reform Bill , tha total failure of that measure , the gloom that now threatened this country , ; and the utter absurdity of expecting relief from either Whigs or Tories , who are both interested in the system . He ( Mr . L . ) would tell them that even those who fluttered themselves that they at ieast could elude it would suffer ; no wisUom . no bravery , could save them from the impending storm . Hun reds of the middle classes were being reduced to poverty , and less able to beat it than those who bad been inured to it . He referred to the treatment of the poor ,
and said the virtuous poor concealed their poverty , and despised the relief tendered under the . New Poor Law and the despots of Somerset House ; In proof of which many had destroyed both 1 their offspring arid themselves rather than submit to the iufercal Bastile system . If the Whig and . Tory systems had brought the country to this , what guarantee could either of them ( the factions ) give that they could cuW the : evil through a Tory syetem . He dwelt with great effect on thb condition and treatment of the pdople of Iveland > who unfortunately but too readily lent themaolves to fight the battles of the aristocracy , but fie would ast , did the aristocracy not think that the Irish could learn to Q ^ ht for thdmselves as well as for the aristacracy . Let them try and See whether thu aristocracy bad not been tried and
found wanting ; they had now a long trial of an anstocratic forni of government , and it had failed to procure the 0 'ject for which all goverumenta were appointed , viz the benefit of tbo great rnass of the conimunity , therefore it was high time-to change the system . Peel could prove that taxation on articles of coneumption had reasned its limits , but in whatever shape tuxes might be laid 1 on , the workirg classes must pay it . Healluded to the complaints against the people fit having urged their claims so earnestly at public meetings Called by other parties .: Sbarman Crawford , the advocate of the middle ciussea did the .. ' sim . e to Poet in the House of Commons , He moved an aineuJmant to the tariff to promote his own ohj ^ cf ; . Toe Cern Law repealers talked a great deal about cheap bread , but
they never told the people how to get possession of it . Howua as fond of a cheap loaf as any nun , but he knew they bad no chance of getting a cheap loaf till every swindler was turned out from bahind the counter . Mr . Lowery spoke for an hour and a quarter in a strain of . impassioned eloquence , defending the whole principles of the Charter . Ho coDcluded by calling on the people to stand true to thernselves , and safe down amidst loud and repeatrd cheering —At the second lecture , upon " the Chartists , their remedy , the progress of their principles , and their present position , " he said they beganthe agitation without experience and without , inucb . talent , but they progressed—they created a great
public opinion in their favour j they bad suffered persecution and starvation , but they made their principles respected . He defied any man to point to any other movement that could be compared to that of Cbsrtism in point of consistency , perseverence , antl virtue . Ho spoke for an hour and a half , and concluded one of the inohi eloquent 1 . ctures we ever ; had the pleasure of listening to , amidst tho hearty greetings of the meetintr . On tho motion of Mr . R .-iss , a vote of thanks to Mr . Lowery was carried by acclamation . —Mr . Lloyd Jonas delivered bis farewell address on Snnday last , in the Hall of Sciencei when he said "he never would apptar again aa a public lecturer . "

Thomaaon delivered a ^ lecture in the Chartist Rootn , Willow Brow , to a crowded and respectable audience , on the necessity of union , id the evening ; which was well received , and created a favourable impression on theaurtience .

proposed the adoption of the memorial to her Majesty , in a abort speech , replete with common sense arguments and reason . Mr . Wm . Chandler seconded the memorial . Mr . Thomason supported it in a speech occupying nearly one hour and a half , in which ha showed the evil workings of the system—exposed the expenses and extravaganca of the state and crowncompared the expenses of our Government to that of America—the evils resulting from a state-churchshowed the deplorable , state of the country—the necessity of a change—and concluded by an eloquent appeal to the middle and working classes to join the Chartists to effect their country's redemption . On the chairman asking if any o . e had any lemaiks or opposition to make , a Mr . Campbell , Social lecturer , stepped
forward , and in his usual manner commenced by stating , that he was a Chartist , and had been for a quarter of a century ; and then attempted to pull the Charter and Chartists , to pieces , ridiculed the term Universal Suffrage—advocating home colonization , and after advertising his own lecture for the night following , concluded by challenging Mr . Went to a public ^ iscuasion , on the relative marits of Chartism and . Socialism . Mr . Thomason , in . a few words , replied to Mr .

PUBLIC MEETING- TO ADOPT THE MEMORIAL AND THE REMO . NSTRANCE . On Monday evening last , a public meeting took place according to announctmtnt in tbe Star , at No . 3 , Gallo-• way Baildinga , for the above-stated purpose . On > lr . J . Twite being called to the chair , he briefly stated hia views of the present state of tho couairy , and of tae prospects of our party . Mr . PHILLIPS , in a straightforward speech , proceeded to shew what good could be done hy each man using his tongue and icfluence to the furtherance of the Chartist cause . Every man waa capable of doin » j something in that w » y , and he trusted there would be no ap itby—no backwardneas on the part of the Chart-sts Gf Bath —( applause . ) The time bad come when we all should bestir ourselve 8 .
Mr . Bees said , on being called upon to speak , that it had been remarked that a still tongue fchews a wi > e head ; and he thought he Rbould be vrise if he followed that advics . However , permit him to Bay that our object ¦ was not so much to raise up speakera as to get every mmi to use his 5 i . flafcnca in rnaXing converts to our principles , by talking about aud advocating them in private aud in the workshop—( hear , hear . ; We ahonld thus endeavour to icstil into th * minds of others a love of liberty , which wa Betk . Mr . C . Bolwell bow rose and said that they wire awars that in consequence cf the rejection of the Xaticnal Petition by the House of Commons , it had been decided upon to remoiwtra r e with that Hi-UBe , and to memorialise the Qaeen on tbe sn *> j * ct . Such a lint of procedure may be useless in so fir as it may aSVc : the Commans' House , but yet it vtig abowing a proper spirit tf lesentment . It was clear to ail that Eome * thing must be done , the distress every ¦ where pressing
on the people , was doing ita -work ; . yet they seemed apathetic—they were Bleeping . It may b « that they ¦ were thus taking test foi th » purpose of being the better able , by and bye , of battling witij the enemy . Some had , no doubt , fallen back thinking that they saw no prospect of Euccess ; but he wouid ask where was tht person who , consk-ering what had been done , could say we were not in a better position now than some time ago ?—( hear . ) We bad steadily advanced , ami -were steadily advancing . The leaders of ihe people had improved by experience—many , if r , ot all of tbem , were capable of standing argument with tbe en-rmy in an enlightened assembly . We thus had become better prepared to raise up an enlightened public opinion , to TTiiieii the Government mast ultimately yield . When the middle men saff a necessity for the establishment of the Charter , they would coma out aad ur . ite with ns ; and- that neetesity they will soon discover . Mr . B . concluded by moving the following rt&oluiiun : —
" That this meeting feels called upon to remonstrate with the House of Commons ,. on it 8 rt-jection of the National Petition , which called for an enquiry into the causes of the existing distress , with a view cf applying % reme . 1 y ; and which prayed that tbe House would forthwith paaa into a law the People's Charter . That the House of Comxuoni , having denied us all such enquiry , and refused ub justice by wiihhoMing our rights as set forth is the said Charter , we think proper to memorialise Her Majesty on such an Important occasion , asking Her to give an audience to persons who will lay tbe Bufferings and grievanees of the people clearly before Her , and praying Her Majesty to dismiss Her present minWezt , and to call to Her councils men who ' will sake the People ' s Charter a a cabinet measure . " ; Mr . HO 8 K * YOTTCG seconded it ; and it was put from the chair , and carried unanimously .
Mr . Bolwell read the remonstrance and the memorial submitted to the country for adoption by tbe late convention ; which were unanimously agreed to . Tbe Chajskan here rose and said that this meetmg would do gw > d ; it would shew to the country that the GhartiEts of Bath are moving again ( Hear , hear . ) He ¦ was happy to find that the working men had their eyes open , and were net to be deceived by those who wished to deceive us . He wu of opinion that the middle-men
