« From the fact of the manufacturers being represented la Parliament , and commanding the capital and mar-Jpeta , and paying wages , and discussing politics , they 1 » r « pfceed their questions and their interests In the ¦•• endant , and have kept them eternally in view , bringing the poor , foolish , ignorant shopkeepers up as h&clers , upon mere prejudice against popular rights , and against their own interest In fact , the manufactarera mat be put down , and no means so speedy and certain u by enlightening and instructing those who make-op their numerical strength , and which alone _ giTes them any importance . But for the shopkeepers , the manufacturers would be but a mere handful of political buffoons .
Now , although I do not , in general , recommend the example of the Court or the oligarchy , as worthy or being followed , yet I ask you , if you can discover any more moral and efficacious mode of agitation than , a well directed system of " exclusive deaUny ?"

it has the sanction of long-established precedent in JtB ffiTOUT .

At the conclusion of the second lecture , the following was adopted , without a dissentient voic-e : — "That , in the opinion of tin ? meeting , the Corn Law monopoly , and every oihtr moBopOi " , is founded on injustice and robbery ; but a repeal of the Corn Laws , unaccompanied with Universal Suifra ^ , ca : ; not bo efi ' ected so as to prove beneficial to the working closes .

And we hail with delieht the noble exertions made by the Petition Convention for that noble of nature , Mr . O Britn . and should the Government refuse to release Mm , and he- Mr .

attainment cf Universal Snttrtge ; » nd that we have unbounded confidence in Feargus O'Connor , and the y $ rthern Star . " " That we are of opinion , that the Government move for a Repeal of the Corn Laws is intended to mise popular opinion ia tarour ot the "Whics , in order that they may ride back to power ( from which they are likely to be driven ) on tbe shoulders of thfe people , whom they will afterwards basely deceive . If ti . e said Whig 3 expect any support from the Chartists , they must give them » proof of their good intentions by restoring to their country , and their families , the exiled patriots , Frost , YTiJfciamB , and Jones ; and a .: » o set at l » Tge all persons confined lor political offences .

As the meeting had noi becu publicly announced , supposed it to be 8 mating to make preliminary arrjn ^ emenis i ' or the public meeting . But , behold , 1 went into a barber ' s shop to get shaved , when 1 ¦ . ra- requested to sign the petition emanating from tin .- hole and corner meeting . Sume signed , supposing it to be the National petition . I should not be the least surprised ii they send it to Parliament as a petition of the inhabitants of Newcastle , in public meeting assembled .

HUDDERSFIELD . —During last week , the town and lR-i ^ tibourhtod of Huddersfield were posted , annouiicing that Mr . Leech would deliver a lecture in the Guildhall , on the fallacies of Socialism , the Corn Laws , and the supremacy of the Charter . A number of the Whig magistrates attended upon Mr . J . Kay , the owner of the pbee , and declared that , if he allowed the lecturer to proceed , they would never enter thv place again , and that they would possibly fine all the parties who took part in the proceedings . This ended in Mr . Kay ' s paying the necessary
expences , and stopping the lecture . The Chartists immediately applied for the Now Theatre , which they got ; but no sooner did the placards appear that the ' leoture was to take place in tho Theatre , than the owner was sent for by Mr . Wm . Brooke aud the magistrates' clerk , J . Laycock , and threatened in like manner as Mr . Kay had been before , and that place was stopped . It appears that the base Whig crew are determined to enforce the little authority which has been given to them by ministers , who thrust them in to enforce the New Poor Law ; the time is not far distant when " BiHy" will bo called upon to help " Neddy ' s" nominee , and then the people ' s turn will come . The " boys" are preparing lor a field day , and . no doubt , will do their duty . After ail , Mt . Leech lectured in their own room , Upperhead-row , to a crowded audience , both in doors and out . He showed the tyranny and
oppression which is carried on amongst those who are crying out cheap bread , and proved , that until the people obtained more political power , nothing but oppression and tyranny could exist . After the lecture was concluded , a member of the Socialists read a challenge to discussion , which Mr . Leech accepted , on condition that it might be to discuss tUe merits of each case . —At the weekly meeting of the Chartists , Upperhead-row , on Tuesday evening last , a vote of thanks was given , to Mr . Josh . Kay , for his generosity in discharging tbo expences of printing , &c . of the lectnre of Mr . Leech , at the Guildhall , when the cowardly Whig magistrates had deprived them of the room . Ten new members were enrolled , and some other business done . All who have any petitions are r < quested immediately to send them in , and the out- £ own 8 hips who have not got , are desired to get one up immediately .

" , as at present constituted , and therefore that no Kood could be effected until the People ' - Charter became the law of tho land . Mr . Etnuson
seconded the resolution , and showed that there had been an enormous increase- in tho cxpoitation ol machinery within the last few years , and maintained that the trade of thi 3 country could not be brought back by repealing the Corn Laws , and the people would trust no party infuture but themselves . Mr . Aid . Cutler said , that he did not wonder at the working men coming to the determination of doing their own work . There was no doubt that they had been deceived , and he admitted that he had also been deoeived by the Reform Bill . He was sorry to hear some of tho leading Chartists denounce the middle classes as their enemies . He was sure thftt , ifc"w »» - » oi- » 4 >« -. cn £ e Jjl BU'iningham y for , had not they retUTuadtwo- Memoors to Parliament

He should like the Chartists to be more moderate , and not act tho inconsistent part they did at Nottingham , when ; they helped to return a man that was as much opposed to their views as it was possible for a man to be . ( Cries of " we'll do the same at Birmingham . " " No more Whigs . ") He should bo happy to see them working amicably together for the end they sought . Mr . George White then addressed the meeting at some length . He maintained that the working classes were fully justified ! in taking their present . course . With regard to Nottingham , it was not so much tho hatred which the Clurtists had to the New Poor Law that caused them to support Walter ; it was their determination to get rid of the
deceitful and treacherous Whigs at all hazards . He was ona of 400 Chartists who had been imprisoned for opinion ' s sake ; there were hundreds still immured in Whig dungeons , suffering torture which could be called nothing else bin slow murder . For that and other reasons , too numerous to recount , their cry should be , " Down with tho base , deceitful Whigs . " ( Loud cheers . ) ( At this stage of the business , Messrs . Edmonds , Uoaltby , and a good portion of tho cheap bread folks , took up their hats , and scampered off , amidst the groans , hisses , and laughter , of the meeting , and were received in tho same manner by a crowd assembled in the street , who could not get into the meeting . ) Mr .
White proceeded to denounce tho tricks of the Whigs and Repealers , and to comment upon tbe conduct of the Chartists in supporting Walter at Nottingham , and concluded by challenging any anti-Corn Law advocate they could produce , and he would discuss the question with them—at the Town Hall , or any other place—and by cordially supporting the resolution , and was loudly cheered . The chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously , amidst enthusiastic cheers , which were re-echoed by tho crowd in the street . Three cheers were given for the Charter ; three for Feargus O'Connor ; three for Frost , William ? , and Jones ; and three for the incarcerated Chartists ; after which tho meeting separated .
Restoration Committee . —The usual weeklymeetin was held at the Chartist room , Freeman-street , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . Shaw , jun . in the chair . Mr . Spinks , jun ., and Mr . Nisbert were nominated as members of the committee . The following memorials have been received by the committee , namely , Glasgow , signed by John M'Arthur , tho c' -airnian ; Congleton , by Mr . Wm . Gosling , tke chairman ; Leicester , by John Markham , the chairman ; Mansfield , by Samuel Hollowall , the chairman ; Bradford , * * * and from liromsgrove , by Matthew Hayle , chairman . Two shillings and sixpence was received with the Congleton memorial . Tho committee then adjourned until the next eveuing , supposing communications would be received from the deputation in London .
SHAW , ( near Oldham : )—Mr . James Cartledge , of Manchester , lectured here on Sunday eve . iiwg , the 9 th inst . He commenced his lecture by showing the amount of the national debts of other countries , and likewise the population , and compared them with the national debt and the population of Great Britain—proving , as he proceeded , that it was not the Corn Laws alone which cause all the misery and poverty under which the working classes suffer . He said it was his intention on that occasion to call their attention to the evil of a standing army in time of peace . He would first make a few remarks , by way of introduction , upon the object for which Governments were established , and then referred to the standing army—its origin
in this country , its numbers , its expense , and its laws—the moral depravity it produces wherever it iroes—the cause why it spreads such misery—and lastly , point out an easy and simple , but eifectual remedy . Tirstly , then , as to the object for which Government was established . The object of Government is ( and should be ) to promote the happi ness of Bociety , affording equal security to the property and persons of every individual , protecting the weak against the stniug , the poor agaiu 6 t the rich . In short , by guarding its members against the extreme of indigence and crime , luxury aud vice , and spreading an equilibrium of comfort and enjoyment through all ranks , by good laws , wisely conceived , and impartially administered .
When supported by the respect and confidence of the public , there was then so need of standing armies in time of peace ; there was then no need of expen iing sixteen millions a year of the public money , to support naval and military establishments ; there was no need of a sinking fund , as a resource for future war . Got rnment was strongest when bs « ed in the hearts of the people ; it was then prapareu for every exigency , and must be invincible against domestic foes and foreign aggressors ; but Government had not now this support . If it were looked upon only as an instrument of rapacity and extortion ; if it were looked upon only as a cabal of arlAil tyrants , united for plunder and oppression ; then must 6 uch a Government , insttad of being a ch < ap and timple institution , be a complex aud expensire

establishment—strong , not in the hearts of the people , but in its means of corruption , delusion , and intimidation . The English Government was in th * latter predicament . It had long ceased to pos > es * the respect and confidence of the people , and it had governed by awing the weak , deluding the ignorant , and corrupting tho baser part of the community ! Its power of corruption , its means of rewarding the adhervnts by the spoil of the people , is the great lever by which it operates . This power , its connection and influence as exhibited in the standing army , is enormous . This , the lecturer said , brought hini to the second part of his subject . The standing array is a body of men separated from the great mass of the people—having no affinity tonor
, identity of interests with , the people generally . Prior to Charles the First , there had been several ineffectual attempts to reduce this country to a military despotism , but Charles became sunbiblr of the folly of raising troops for ( bo purpose of enabling him to begin with despotic rule , in defiance of his coronation oath , which bound him to nuiutain the constitution , " the glorious constitution , " as now called , which did not recognise a ttindiuj : army , when the people of London marched down to Westminster with muskets on their shoulders . Howevor , he paid tho forfeit by the loss , of 1 m head , which history records a . s a warning to future monarchs . At the restoration of the Stuarts , Charles II . raised several armies , but was obliged by tho
Parliament to disband them . Charles remonstrated , but his Chancellor Hydo very significantly told him the standing army cut oft" his father ' s head . Thi * , and the following resolution of the Parliament on this subject , quieted his rage for a standing army , and satisfied him that the continuance for any standing force in this nation , other than the militia , was illegal , and a great grievunce and vexation to the people . James II . raised an army of IG . . ro which the Parliament objected , and in a resolution of-the !{ ou . se told him , that they had defended themselves for more than a thousand years without ai , y arniy ; that a King's truest strength was the love of hi . s people ; that they would make the militia useful . Finding the Parliament obstinate in their opposition
to his tyrannic conduct , he looked back to the fate of his father , and ran away from his kingdom . At length they entered upon a new era in the cou .-utuiion of the country . The Whigs , who had always been careful of the people ' s rights , and who had ever manifested , upon all occasions , a strong desire to preserve the ancient rights of Englishmen entire , sought William , Prince of Orange , and made him King , but not unconstitutionally . They were determined to ? 4 tiard against future tyranny and oppression by proposing a bill of rights , which dec l ared " that the raising and keeping up a standing army , in time of peace , is contrary to law . " So far so good ; but what did cunning , crafty , and sneaking Whigs do to create a pretext for keeping
up a standing army ? Why , they appended the words " without consent of Parliament , " and they have ever since had a Parliament base enough and subservient enough to keep up a standing army , from that Jay to this ; and when they havo been in power , they have endeavoured to strengthen its power ou all occasions . That the standing army is illegal , ho wcnld prove by reading over the opinions ot wait ; of the greatest men in this country iu their day and generation , from tho 11 th pago of " Ricliardsuu ' t , Right to Arms : " " The present numbers of the standing army are as follows : cfilctivt , 121 , 112 ; non-effective , 83 , ! J 71 ; making a total of 2 l' 4 , 983 . The gross amount of the cost to this country of the standing army is i . ' 6 " , i" ) 4 . 9 o ' jsterling , bcsidts i'fiM , 154
paid by the East India Company , making it total of i . 7 , 149 , 107 paid to teach men to murder ihtir fellow men in cold blood , and without the slightest offence bi ? ing offered . " Can any man in his senses believe that that is needed ? No ; he would think not . Well , did they think that the government would be able to go to war for such things as the biood of England's sons had been shed , since tho creation of the standing army by the infernal , base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ? No ; they would not have been allowed by a House of Commons chosen upon the just principles pf Universal Suffrage , to enter into war , with any and every nation that chose to changQ the form of its government . Now , in war alone , since the
glorious revolution , which gave us a standing arjny , it had cost this country 1414 millions \> £ British money—a sum which , if divided amongst the people of the united kingdom , would give to every family the small sum of £ 282 10 s ., which , at tho rate of ten shillings per week , would keep the ontire mass of tho people of the united kingdom for tho space of S 0 ' 5 weeks , that is , rather better than ten and a half years . There had been , upwards o ! 4 , 000 , 000 of human lives lost , or rather t-acrificed , at ihe shrine of political knavery , since the s ' . aiivini ^ army was introduced by the political Whigs in 16119 , being just 12 . 5 y « ars , which would make 32 , 000 a year , or fil . 5 per week , or t > 8 per day . ( Shame , shame . ) Mep had fallen at this rate merely for tho aggrandisement of a few , and to the dismay , suilering , wretchedness , and lossof the millions . The presuit cost of the standing army would support 274 , % \ 3 families at ten shillings per
week , to which purpose he ( Mr . Cartledge ) thought themoney might have been agreat deal better applied . Aud by-the-bye , it was a very important question to ask , where did the ruling few get " the monish , " as the Jew would call it ? Why , from the industrious portion of flic community—from the producers of all wealth . So that they have not only to bleed at the will of the oppressors , but to pay for the instrument that draws the vital current from their veins . The standing army is a body of men distinct from the people ; they are governed by different laws . Blind obedience , and an entire submission to the orders of their commanding officer were their only principles . By the military law , the administration of justice was so quick , and the punishments bo severe , that neither officer nor soldier dares to dispute the orders of his supreme commander ; he must not consult his own inclinations . If a soldier was
commanded to pull his own father cut of his house , he must doit ; he daro not disobey ; immediate death would be the result of his grumbling . Now , to prove , said Mr . Cartledge , that he had not overdrawn the picture , ho would read a few articles of war . ( Here the speaker read some extracts iu corroboration of his position . ) The next subject which he would bring to their notice was the moral depravity produced by the standing army . Here he wished to be clearly understood , that though he considered the standing army as an evil , it was the system which maintained it that was the cause that produced the withering effects in tho social arrangements of society . Follow these men as they prowl about the country , producing drunkenness ,
debauchery , prostitution , crime , misery , wretchedness , hunger , poverty , want , murder , distress . pauperism , and domestic discord , blighting and blasting the happiness the people havo . These were the results wherever they went . Follow them , he would say again , and watch their proceedings ; listen to their filthy conversation , mixed continually with oaths and curses , and then , he was sure , they would say with him , that he had but feebly drawn the picture , and but mildly coloured it . Coloured it , did ho say ? Would to God the reality was no worse than he had portrayed it to them . But , alas ! alas ! the picture was too truo ; not that all young men entering into the army were naturally vicious . Oh , no 1 But the
saying of St . Paul was fully verified , which was " that evil commun- ' eations corrupt good manners . " No matter how virtuous a young man might be before he was induced to sell himself to do the work of a vicious and corrupt government , the circumstances by which he became surrounded , soon converted him into as much the child of devil , as his companions in iniquity . Did any of them , asked Mr . C , ever witness the departure of a detachment of this public peat from a town where they had been only perhaps but a short time ? See them assembled ready to march . Look at the number of the females—poor deluded creatures , weeping and bellowing with looks of anguish and despair , crying and moaning , and grieving at the situations their betrayers had
placed them in , and then to leave them , the victims of their lustful passions . Happy , modest , prudent , and innocent , before these hired assassins of the public morals and femalo virtue were introduced into their walks , who , by their uay trappings and military blandishments , had led them from the paths of virtue , and had so far goaded them on in the walks of vice , as to entirely uproot shame , modesty , and every other adorning accomplishment of woman , lovely womau , thc comfort and companion of man and the pride of the world . Mr . Cartledge then glanced on many of the causes which enabled these soldiers , while travelling , to accomplish their such
wicked purposes , and be productive of an alarming amount of crime and misery . This he attributed to the parents of children more than to any other catiso : it was they who fhst implanted r / ne idea into their offspring ' s minds that it was really an honour to be a soldier . Their pretty clothing , and , in general , their delightful music , were all calculated to work upon the infant miud , which oijoo done , it would take some time to erase the impression of . The teaching of children to sing i . e war s . ngs , and to admire the heroes of tho prostituted mu-e , begot a love for the life of a soldier in the male portion of the community , and caused the female portion to become more easy of

ne ^ e gardens , a visit on Monday aJternoon . A very numerous party was assembled , consisting chiefly of elegautly dressed ladies . The weather continued fine dunng the afternoon . The gardens are yet but in their earliest and most unfinished •^ onuition . They are designated the Zoological ^ and uotantcal Gardens , but their only claims to the former appellation are supported by a few monkeys , an owl or two ,. an eagle , a raven , and a buzzard : ivinlst tho botanical op-rations are not yet either numerous or varied . But mo matter for this ; these tarn are only arguments in favour of an increase of / . ootonical and Botanical specimens , which we hope may be added before long , and to an ample extent , i ?! la- «! 'S lblo » Pleasing , ann picturetqua ; iQd tho gardens are laiu out , as far as ttuiy . ^ n ^ witli due rij ^ Atd . to tuit . *«*« i ~ aw . -a-i . ^ .. ts yet roonvfor many and Very sui cable auditions to contribute
to that romantic effect , which it i ? , or should be the aim of the artiste in ornamental gardening to produce ; -grottos , waterfalls , fountains , caveriis , and all the bolder and valuer features of nature on a Ia ; ge scale , are yet , wo tiu ^ r , in score . The band of the 4 th Royai Jnsh Diagoau Guards was in attendance , and played . several a : r ? , mobt , if hoi all of which , were German . Sukw were better suited for in-door periunnaiu-e . Tin ; Jinale , " the ^ rand musical picture and rrpresuitiuion of the Battle of Waterloo , " was of 6 he most spirit-stirring description , aud the airs noting tiie advanced tf the li . iferoiit troops were exceedingly beautiful , conveyii'g tho different national characteristics , in a very faithful and highly-pleasing manner ; the attempt at pictorial lllustiatiou iu tho battle was , however , a miserable affair , If red and bine lights are ever exhibited , it should not be in the face of the
atteruoon sun , but iu the darkness of the ^ veniug , as it auly make * a farce of the theatrical attempt . One thing we must not forget to notice . On every hand the complaint is , " Why don ' t they oprn the gardens on Sundays 1 " Who can answer the question ? A " , we can say is , if-the miserable , debasing , suul-ucgradin sc views of the fanatics , amount the directors , prevent them buing opened , wo eio most unte-igue-uly wish they m ^ y never put a fart . liing interest in their pockets . 'ihisaLomuiable , do ; rkfcned , aud despicable bigotry and intolerance , deserves at the hands of the public , the most marked kbhoireuce and disgust . Bigotry and intolerance do not comprise all its iniquity ; liu-re- is suumttiiiig irreligious in the practice . To contemplate God ' s works ? , as displayed
arouuo , a rer . gious , prevent that act of the muni , ou a elay which permits such an exercise of-natural devotion , is to be guilty of repressiug those veiy ieohngo in which piety consists ; and this is tne practical blasphemy aud nifiikUty with which tho fanatics may stand fairly charged . If they wish well to public morality and happiness , and to cultivate those improving and blessed influences which they say are so huJe felt by iho working classes , let , them open the gardens ou Sunday , at haif-priee , so that the working man may have a chance of caking his wife auu the " wee bodies" along with him . This would confer a public good ; ana make the gardeus pay , when nothing else will .
The Theatre . —The manager of the Theatre having engaged for five nights Miss Deicy and Mr . Teiupleton , lrom ihu London boards , the patrons of the drama in Leeds have experienced a rich treat , and have testified their appreciation of the same bycrowded audieucies on each evening ' s performance . Tho chaste , polished , finished , and inartificial acting , if such natural performance can be culled acting , of Mi-s Delcy , brought down repeated thndura of applause ; her Amina , in La Sounambula and her Cinderella , wi . ro delightful exhibitions of taste and skill combined . Of Mr . Templeum's fidelity to tho pact he enac ?^ of t he spirit and-judgment he displays , and of his powers generally , it would be
superfluous in us to speak , lne subordinate characters in the cast , a 3 i 3 usual , failed to sustain the hi ^ U taio .,, » with which they were associated ; the performance of Messrs . Davidson and Saunders was , however , very creditable . Repeated encores were called for in the operas , and Miss Delcy and Mr . Templetou made their bows at thy concision of the pieces . We trust that Mr , Hooper may be recompensed for his spirited management , and that every effort on his part may be met by a discriminating dramatic public with corresponding appreciation and support . —On Wednesday evening and Ia&t evening , Fra Diovolo was performed to numerous aud delighted audiences .

The Ministerial Ciusts . —Either the Ministers or the " Opposition" seem determined to exhauso the patience of parties in the debate upon the ministerial proposition , on the alterations proposed in the taxatiou of the country . The debate , it will be seen , commenced on last night week , and after Hon .

Another Dreadful Collision at Sea . —We have to record another of those frightful accidents at sea which convey such a melancholy catalogue of suffering , similar indeed to that by the loss of the Governor Fenuer . The Brooklyn , Captain Richardson , sailed from Liverpool on Sunday , for New York , laden with salt , &c . Tho telegraphic communication on Monday morning announced the return of the Brooklyn , with bowsprit carried away , bows damaged , and in tow of a steamer . It appears that about ten on Sunday night , when off Point Lynas , the Captain and crew or the Brooklyn were alarmed by tho appearance of a vessel running with the wino directly upon them ; that instead of the master of
tho unknown vessel porting his helm he pursued a directly opposite course , and which led to a frightful collision . Trie bows of the 6 hip Brooklyn struck the midships of the other , which soon after , it is supposed , went down with ail hands on board . The name of the vessel is . unknown , but she is described as being & long-built brig , and rather deep ; but whether from Liverpool , London , or any other port , no evidence cau be given . Tho cries of the unfortunate sufferers are represented to have been most agonising , and from the few particulars * wo can gather , it appears almost a miracle that the Brooklyn also did not moet ' with the same fate as the other vesseL
