THE CONVENTION . Tht later of Bvssra to O'Coxsos , which we gUdJjpsMsb elsewhere , with the satisfactory reply to it , is of great importance ; and , even at the expence of being considered ™ despotic , " we would most earaeslj urge upon the country the propriety of acting cpon the wise suggestion contained in BrBj rrrfs lener;—a suggestion which has been also made » us by several eocrespondents . In fact , one weei , or one half of the whole time would be lost , were the delegates to meet d-aring Easter week , and in the absence of the delegates to the other House . However the delay u col of any further importance than the additional time which it affords fer the signatures ot
petitions . It is quite true that if the delegates met in London 02 the 12 ih , they would leave just as their business would be iixmi to commence . Is the meantime , let the petition sheets be Bigned , and in our nexs we will give -the addresses of several M . P . ' s , to whom they ma . y be seat free , md by whom they can be handed to the Committee ; for , be it remembered , that petitions only go free when addressed to Members of Parliament .
The whole country is alive to the vital importance of this snort but feverish Convention . We regret to learn that Mr . Lovktt has declined making one of the delegates to wait upon tb « Qaeen ; we sincerely wish his disinclination had been Boaaei notified to the country ; however , application , we understand , has been made to Mr . Pitkethlt to fill the gap , and that gentleman , we mast say , never refuses his servicesffijD they can be of U 3 e to the people .
It will be a most important eventy—the presentation of £ ) ose addresses to the Queen , by konesi and iadti'Jiots men ; greater , far greater , than the people appear to imagine ; and Lord NoRimfBr caano ; refuse to present them , though not Peers . True , i rtcjit regulation has been made to meet this Tery case , to the effect , that not a word shall be spoken to annoy Majesty with her people ' s eompisiats upon the presentation of their odions grieTMces . But lei it all work . Of conrse , Lsndtmwill be on the tiptoe to learn the result , as Joai Bcu . is becoming very curious of late abont Ms own aSsirs .
We beg , most cordially , to recommend the perusal of O'Biirs ' s letter , and especially the conclnding pornoa , to all those who look for strength by an nn-Bataral mion . We think he settles the question it ence , at least to our satisfaction , if we had a siidow of a doubt before , which , however , we hid not .

STOCKPOBT . —On Saturday , a meeting took place in the Court Room , to take into consideration the salary of the Collector and Surveyor of the Highways . This gentleman , who fills the above office , has been receiving £ 210 per year for his services ; yet his philosophy was euco , as" that the scaveneera in the streets should be reduced from one shilling per day to sixpence . The ratepayers , improving on this man ' s own economy , thought he might do himself with less than £ 4 per week . Mr . J . Hamer proposed he- should have £ 70 for collecting ,
allowing him another office , for which he would receive £ 50 . Mr . Peter Chappell moved , as an amendment , that he receive only ^ 100 , and that he devote all his time to his ofSee . Sir . Coppock , town clerk " , proposed that he receive the original salary . ( A voice , " One great sinecurist is sure to support another . " ') The amendments and the motion were put . and the motion carried . Mes = rs . Chappell and Coppock demanded a po'l , which was agreed upon to open on Monday and close on Wednesday .
1 TEWCASTZJ 2 . —Aosrw 15 Newcastle . — This saintly humbug , "who we had thought had lor ever retired from affl . cting society witn his Alawworm eanE , actually had the effrontery to appear before a Newcastle audience on Tuesday last , in support of his better Sabbath Observance Bill . The knowledge of this intended vioit from the illustrious saint was intended to have been confined to those who were already inoculated with the tame C&ntlD £ and intolerant spirit . No placards were issued , but the fact was communicated from various chapels , churches , and conventicles , that or Tuesday eTening a farce of a public , private sectarian meeting , wouid be performed in the Scotch Church . The fact howevur , did transpire , and became known to the foes of
humbug , cant , and hypocrisy , and accordingly the chapel of Mr . Lockhari was crammed to excess . Aaron Chapman , E ? q ., was called to the chair , and permitted to take it without opposition , an trror in tactics on the part of the people , the consequences of which were &oon made evident . After a drawling puritanical address irom him , and a bit of special pleading from the Rev . J . Lockhart , the great gun , Sir A . Agnew , was introduced to the meeting by the Chairman . This was the first time we had an opportunity of seeing the Hon . Bart ., and we could not help exclaiming that the man seemed fitted for the creed ; for a more miserable , weak , drivelling , canti » g , hypocrital form , face , and tone , we have never witnessed . There was evidently a disposition to treat him with a general laugh , bat this was in pity to the poor wretch suppressed , and he was quietly permitted to deliver the most miserable , inane adciress
it has ever been onr misforiune to hear . At the close of his address , the saints addressed the meeting , but no resolutions appeared to be coming . The humbugs evidently deemed discretion the better part of valour , and » t the doss of the harangue lhe Chairman rjse to announce that the meeting was concluded ; this immediately brought op Mr . Lowery , who had been waiting for the opportnmiiy . He was received with great cheering from hiB friends , and hissing from the saints . Having , however , extorted from the Chairman an admission that the meeting was a public one , he , accompanied by Hi . Williams , advanced to the platform , aad boldly took up a position besidt the saintly orators . He dexterously rocceeded in obtaini >{ the ear of the saints fer a few minute * , and succeeded in giving them some heavy hits , hot they would aot stand it longer . Mr . Williams then * aaae forward , and then a scene of the most indescribable confusion was
displayed . Every attempt was made to put him down , bat without effect . He maintained bis ground , and having got leave to * peak for five minntes , proceeded to expose the arguments and perversions of Scripture in which the saints had indulged ; but the moment that thftse &avr -what was coning— toat the ELimsy fabric they bad spun was abont to be torn to shreds , they hissed and booted most inveteritely , intii it was impossible to be heard . VLc . Williams , aowever , boldly challenged the priests and Sir A . &gnc ; W himself to a publio discussion of the question . The challenge was not accepted , although the wevious speakers bad repeatedly expressed their readiness and ability to maintain ibeir position . The Chairman called for thinks for Sir Andrew , and Mr . Williams called for the thanks of the mtetinc to

Mr . Lowery . Both motions were supported simultaneously , and the eainta retired wofully disappointed . We venture to affirm that they will not dare to call a public meeting to submit their rtsolvtioDs and petition to its approbation . —Correspondent . HUDDERSFXELD . —On Thursday , the 25 th ult ., the Corn Law Repealers held their t « a party in the Philosophical Hall , which they style "public ;* but , to show its publicity , how did they distribute the tickets 1 Each member was allowed to sell a given number , with the understanding that no Chartist or Radical , was to have one at any price ' . Applications were made , and they were told , in plain terms , that if they would give a thousand
guineas , they durst not let them ha . re one . The Leagaers ( manufacturers ) gave to their men , and stopped their works , to make up the grand demons ' trauon . Not a single objection was offered , and for why ! It was understood that if any Chartist should get in , and attempt to make any objections , three policemen were stationed to take them out ; and this some of the speakers declared was the public opinion of the inhabitants of this town . No public meeting is to take place , which shows they dare not test publio opinion . Th \ ey have begun to hand their petitions round for signatures ; and bo the farceof the Corn Law agitators will end in this neighbourhood .
We have received upon this subject the following letter amongst others : — HnddewSeld , March . 29 , 1841 . deab sir , — "Will you be so kind as to favour me with a small portion of yout Talu&We paper of Saturday next , to show to the working classes of England , and particularly those of the West Riding of the county of York , as to all appearances it is likely to be the scene of action by the expiring faction , what was the grand demonstration held in Hnddersfleld on the 25 th of this month ? A tea party took place in the Philosophical Hall , and so snug -was it kept , that there was no public announcement of it ; all was as . still as death ; none but the members were allowed , or those upon whom they could depend , % single ticket for love or jnoney .
After tea , tbs public were admitted by—ticket ; yes , to this boasted public meeting , by—ticket ; an * who obtained those tickets ? None but their own party J Myself and my friend Jones waited upon them for tickets of admission after tea . Their reply was , No , Sir ; we could not give one for a thousand guineas . Hear this , ye working aen ¦ behold a specimen of their noble generosity and love of fair play ; and after such unblushing conduct , to call it a public meeting . Men of England , will you again be duped , deceived , and betrayed ?
" No , no , a thousand times no !" And yet lhe press calls it a grand demonstration of master and operative ! Pshaw ! out upon't : and calls upon other large manufacturing towns to go and do likewise . Yes , for the masters to get up a tea party , to stop their factories , send their workmen , pack the meeting , and then call them grand demonstration * Farther , upon putting a resolution in Buch a meeting , to ask if any one has got anything to advance against it . Excellent , most excellent ! A poor Chartist there , with two of their committee oh one hand , and a policeman on the other , if any one dared to say anything , to plase him in durance vile , for causing disturbance , as they are pleased to call it ; and yet call them public meetings , specious hypocrites !
Now , then , for once and all , ye pretended friends of the operatives . Tour chairman stated that the wide chasm which divided the working classes and the anti-Com Law League , was ignorance ; that the opposition which the millions offered was through ignorance . I , in the name of the Chartists of Huddersfleld , do challenge you to public discussion , either paid lecturer to paid lecturer , or operative to operative , 80 that there can be no more cant about the ignorance of the millions upon this important subject ; and if ye flinch from this opportunity of removing this ignorance , the brand will be upon your brow . Working men , thick for yourselves ; be not deceived by the fair promises of the lips , whilst there ' s gall at the heart Once have ye of late been bit , beware of tae fox . I remain , yours , ever truly ,
In the cause of free discussion , and a Chartist , Edward Clat . Election of Guardians . —The humbng of electing Guardians under the Hew Poor Law has just terminated ; the minority clerk as returning officer , and the paid officers the tools to do the dirty work , in the townships where contests took place , the votiDg papers were made to suit their own purposes , and then brought to Huddersfield to go through a sham examination . Such is the disgust amongst the ratepayers at thesham elections , that the greatest part returned their papers unfilled up . The trickery which has been practised is about to be represented in a petition to the House of Commons , where , perhaps , some notice may be taken of it .
XiEED&i—Stealing Pigeons . —During the night of Tuesday last , the dove-cot of Mr . Joseph Steel , miller , of Swjllington , was enttred by thieves , who stole upwards of one hundred pigeons . The rascals stripped the tile 3 off the roof , until they had made a hole large enough to allow of their entrance , and got off with their booty , without leaving any traces which may Jead to their detection . The pigeona are all light coloured . Municipal Election . —Avacancy having occurred in the south ward of this borough , both political parties are again buckling on their armour for another fi ^ ht . The Whigs have Btarted , as their advocate , Mr . Jonathan Dickinson , brush manufacturer , and he is to be opposed , on behalf of the Tories , by Mr . William Singleton , who was defeated in this ward on the 2 nd of November . The successful candidate will only hold the seat till November next ; Both parties are confident of success .
