SLBJTCHSSTSB . ( From our own CorrtsptndenU ) On Monday evening last , a pnblie meeting mi onvenwim Carpenters'HalL by the antt-C ^ I * w party , for the purpose , as stated , of considering the beet ffleut of repealing the Cora Laws-of © btaaung compensation from the aristocracy , asd to call » meeting of delegate * of working yea from all puts of the kingdom , to be held in Manchester on New Tear's Day , to form plant to repeal the Corn Laws . Colonel Thompson vu announced to be present ; whether this was a trick to raise the wind we are sot able to say : however , he was not present , nor was any letter of apology read . On entering the kalL , abont eight o ' clock , we found the l ^ dy of the ball , the gallery , and the platform
completely cratcmed . In the body of the hall was a most desperate struggle . One of the bludgeon-men , it appeared , had struck a Chartist , when a fight ensued , the result of which was , that the blndgeonman got a sound thrashing . While tills was going on , we observed about forty sticks , pokers , and bludgeons , of Tarious dimensions , brandishing orer the people ' s heads ; yet seeing that the Chartists were too powerful , they desisted . M Prepare to meet jonr God" Finigan seixed a brass candlestick off the table , and went down among the party , and when the bustle was orer , he returned to the platform . Mr . Watts , Social Missionary , addressed the audience on tho impropriety of men coming for the purpose of using sticks instead of argument , and reasoned them into a degree of order .
Mr . Watki . vs was called to the chair , and Messrs . Bailey and Hague , the one a Chartist And the other a Corn Law repealer , were appointed umpires to deem- any dispute which might arise . Mr . Wabrbn was introduced to moTe the first resolution , in doing which , he occupied about twenty minutes . He advanced nothing but what has been laid before the public a thousand times ; and as many time ; refuted and shown to the world to be mere delusion and humbug . He , forsooth , was as sincere a Cuartist as any amongsc them , bat he saw no reason , kind soul , v : \ ij his brother Chartists Should not lire a large loaf first . He saw no reason why he should be deprived of his food , because be had no voice in sending men to Parliament to make laws by which they were to be governed .
Mr . Finigax was called upon to second the resolution . He rambled from one thing to another—wishing the people to go for that which would immediately and permanently benefit-them—denounced . the aristocracy and the Corn Laws for robbing the working classes , but he very sagaciously omitted to say 3 3 jthing of the robberies committed by the cotton i ords . He next attacked O'Brien—exhorted the « nd ; -nee not to be led away by speakers , and sat dowr . by seconding the resolution . The Chaibsian then read the addresses and resolutions , after which ,
Mr . Leach came forward amid tremendous cheering- He was very glad that snoh silence and attention had been observed , while the gentlemen who had preceded him were speaking . He then exploded every argument advaneeo by the Repealers , and repudiated the avowed object of these men , who were exporting their sympathy abroad and neglected objfeis under their noses at home—of men travelling to Russia , Prussia , and the burning sands of Africa , to fi :: d people who wanted clothing , whilst thousands in their own country were walking the street * nearly naked , and proved , from statistical documents , that in proportion as trade had increased the wages of the workmen had decreased ; adverted to the eondact of the League at Stockport , in making sach
-enormous reductions ; showed how machinery operated against the interest of the working classes ; -and that whilst the Corn Laws had taken i . 20 , 000 , 000 , the reduction in wages had been as much as £ 1-20 , 000 , 000 . He hoped the gentlemen Of the press would notice that . ( Several voices cried out Northern Star . ) He said that fact had not been in the Slar yet , bat it should be . ( Load cheers . ) At a printing establishment in the town there were twenty-six men then doing as much by the aid of machinery as t 3 u could print with hand blocks twenty years ago ; an improvement had been discovered which enabled them to print any number of colours by machinery , ana one man and a boy were doing as much work as
twenty men could do only nine months ago . The speaker brought a number of fact ? , figures , aud dates to bear upon his position , which upset everything advanced by his opponents , and concluded by asking the following question , and moving an amendment in favour of the Charter . Question : How was it , if the Corn Laws would give as impetus to trade , and thai enhance wages , that from the year 1793 to 1815 , when there were no Corn Laws , And when the Enj ? lish manufacturers had a supremacy of trade orer the world , when they had none to compete with them , the trade increased fivefold when there was no Cora Laws , and yet wages came down in that period one half ? In retiring he was loudly cheered .
Sjme confusion here took place betwixt the parties on the platform . A few of the Irishmen wanted to get at Mr . R&nkm , who rose to second the amendment . Such was the confusion and uproar , that we tonZd scarcely hear a word he said . Tne Irishmen were embittered against Rankin for moving a vote of censure upon the conduct of Daniel O'Conaell , a short Urn-- since in Salford . Mr . Aclakd , the great gun of the league , being present , came forward at the request of the Chairman , to answer the question of Mr . Leach . But , he , instead of fairly and honestly answering the utstion , went into a long rambling speech quite
irrelevant to the point at issue ; and continued , notwithstanding the repealed cries of " question , " to shuffle , equivocate , and shrink from it . The people were patient to a fault in thus being humbugged . It was not until near eleven o ' clock , when he had Bpoken upwards of half in hour , that he ecmld be prevailed upon , even by his own party , to answer the question . This was a scheme of the Corn Law . party to weary the people , and get our party to leave , so that they might carry their resolution . Wnen he did come to it , he put words is to Leach ' s mocth he never m&de use of , and then began to answer it in his own way .
Mr . Leach rose and told him he was wrong , and he knew it himself . Mr . Aclaxb then made another attempt , but put entirely a wrong construction on the words . The meeting saw the evasive conduct of * Acland , and pretty well told him of it . Mr . Lkach then put the question again . AemtD never attempted to touch the subject . Tiie meeting became impatient , and repeated cries were made for the amendment ; a skirmish took place ; -and after brandishing of sticks , and a deal of confusion , all was quiet again . Aclaxb went on again on til interrupted by cries « f " ume to go home , put the amendment . " _ At length the people were exasperated ; some times cheers were given for the Charter , followed by thouts and stamping by the Repealers . Acland all thi 3 time attempting to address the , , meeting , until not a word could be heard . -
At ibis time , toe Chairman came stamping over eur books , knocking down our ink bottles , &c . folio-wed by several others . Dalkt , one of the Corn Law Repealers , began grumbling at our rtporter for reporting Acland ' s speech . Fisiga 5 , in order to excite hia countrymen against him , paid he was the biggest liar that ever put pen to paper . The Repoktsb , in reply , called him a villain , for wisning his countrymen to breakjiis , the reporter ^ head . Daring thi 3 time Aciasd went on with his shouting to the top of his vo . 'ce . to
Fikigax then be ^ an abuse Lkach , calling him a rascal , &o . < fec . In justice to Warren , we must say , that , had it not been for him , our reporter would have had a most excellent chance of setting his cranium cracked . This noise a-nd confusion continued till near eleven o ' clock . The reporters ail rose fi om their seats , and put their books mvo their pockets , as though apprehensive of a row . An Irishman under the platform drew his bludgeon from under Mb coat , and this was the signal for the onslaught . Abont forty or fifty bludgeons were shortly brandishing in the body of the Hall in a duster . They then commenced playing away with their sUck 3 on big , little , voung , and old , hitting right and left , and cleared all before them . Here .
then , were the Chartists unarmed against those coldblooded feroeious madmen . The Irishmen baving possession , many were raning out of the Hall , until Boms one rushed to the door , and prevented them going out . Whilst this dreadful and . bloody work was going on , our reporter asked Warren , Daly , Acland and Yea ) d—( the latter was the man who took the Chartist hustings at the Stephenson ' s Square butchery)—whether it was not their party , to which Acland replied it was , and he denounced it . Yeald said he would never attend another meeting if that would be their conduct . Mr . Leach seemed very ¦ inch put about at seeing his fellow creatures so cruelly used , cried shame . Finnigan and Big Mike said it was our party . Mr . Leech said if they would go and seise any one cf them , he would appear , and swear to them the next da ; . Bat they would not do that . The lying villains knew who had engaged the foolish men to do such dirty work . Every
sensible man upon the platform cried shame . It was not till the Chartists had been attacked three tines , that they offered any resistance ; bat , finding their Hves were at stake , they must fight , or be killed . A young clever man , with a short round jacket , a Mechanic , had received a blow- . at tne eofluneeo © - •» ent of the meeting ; two Irishmen -wast to him again , for the purpose of beating him again . He net them both like a man , having " nothing bat his 1 st * , knocked them both down , took their sticks from them , threw them o * er our heads on to the platform , and then kicked them till they rmn head first into the crowd . The Irishmen before had triumphantly brandished theifshiielahF . The Chartists then knocked down the forms , jumped ¦ poa the under part , broke off the bearers , and furaishedthemselves with strips of wood . They then dosed ID upon tho blndgeon men , and separated them . A good Stand-tip fight then commenced , which lasted ,

hard fighting , for abont ten minutes , they took all the sticks of the Irishmen , and gave diem a right good thrashing , drove all the blackguard portion entirely out of the room , and then with an enthusiastic and vociferous shout ! gave "hurrah for the Chatter , " and requested the chairman to pat the amendment . The Corn Law party seeing their party , the oowardly bludgeon men , completely routed , and the Chartists in possession of the room , although they said nothing while their party were masters , refused to put the amendment . Griffin then went to the front of the
platform , and said , as the chairman did not seem disposed to put the amendment and motion , seeing he was likely to be out-voted , he wonld do it for him . ( Tremendousckeering ) The amendment was toes put , and a forest of hands was held up in its favour , which nearly paralysed the Corn Law party , and was followed by long-continued cheering ; after which had subsided and silence restored he put the notion , not a hand was held op for i t in the body of the hall nor the gallery , and only about a dozen on the platform .
Ms , Watts , social mintonarr , then announced that the meeting was dissolved . Repeated cries were made for Griffin and Leach to come home . The Chartists then escorted their leaden out of tLe worn . When we got out , the hall was surrounded by policemen , and we net two other reinforcements on their way thither . As we were going home . Captain Sleigh and other officers , were walking about The Chartist procession broke op at the end of Gamtt-road , with an understanding that every man who loved his cause , should be at the Town-Hill on the following evening , Tuesday . Whilst the fighting was going on , a person came to the front of the platform , and told our reporter that he had heard a man say he would stick Finnigan ; our reporter conveyed that information to him , and just as be . Griffin , was going into the Temperance Hotel , Finnigan came op to him , and thanked him for bis conduct in telling him , and expressed himself glad that he had got off with hislife .
Before closing this report we wish to be understood that we dont include amongst these rude men who go to meetings for the purpose of breaking people ' s heads , the intelligent Irishmen . There were scores present who were vexed to Bee their poor deluded countrymen made tools of for such purposes . The Repealers of the Union passed a resolution denouncing such conduct , on Sunday . They are not members of the Repeal Association who act thtu , they are men wh « would not give a penny for the salvation of tbeir country ; all that such care about is a glass of whiskey and & stick . Bad as these men are , the men who set them on are worse . Had the Chartists kept away from the meeting there would not have been more than 1 S 9 present , and at any time of the meeting there were five to one , nay ten to one in favour if tie amendment ; surely thia ought to teach the Repealers a lesson . They expected to have made a great deal of this meeting , as all the satellites of the Whig press were present , and we sheuld have had
it blaisd through the country in the name of the inhabitants of Manchester . They must know that it is impossible to carry any motion unlus they either pack their meeting , call it in the day time , oi hire men to intimidate the people . The carrying a resolution in the open Market-place at Btockport in favour of liberty , and the meeting on Monday evening , ought to show them that they aze dead beat They must have found that the Chartist * can not only beat them in fair discussion , but when pressed they can fight a bit . The lads of Manchester wish not to fall out with any party , they lament that such disgraceful disturbances should take place , yet those who call them cowards are lying villains , for they fought like men till they had taken all the sticks aud got possession of the room , and obtained order ; never attempted revenge , passed their amendment , gave three cheers for O'Connor , the Stir , the Charter , and Frost , Williama , aud Jones , and dispersed Quietly .

THE DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE WEST OF ENGLAND , fcc , TO THEIR POLITICAL BRETHREN . Oppressed Fellow Cochtetkes , —H » viDg been delegated to meet in Bath for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying out the recommendations made by the Executive , we beg to point your particular attention to the resolutions agreed to fcv us , after mature deliberation , and which appeared in the northern Star of the 23 d instant We call for your co-operation to carry these important resolutions into effect . Do you' de&ire to obtain justice through the enactment of the Charter—aid us in thrusting that great measure of right upon the present corrupt legislature . We highly approve the plans propounded
by the Executive Council , because they are such as appeal to reason rather than to passion , and are sure to enlist under on banner all who are truly patriotic , and willing to join in the onward movement of tbe industrious but suffering millions . On your exertions at the present moment everything depends—the Petition must be signed by four millions of persons , all arrived at Tears of discretion . It will require a sacrifice on the part of those who are best prepared and most willing to make it , to obtain this enormous ? amber of signatures—but it must be done . The Convention must be supported—backed up by the approving efforts of the millions—and the people must be taught to attach due importance to this great and intelligent assembly . If we desire to be emancipated from slavery , these things must be effected .
This is the path by which we are to arrive at liberty ; if we are faint-hearted aud irresolute , we shall be defeated , and never arrive at the glorious end . The task is easy , the duty pleasing , the cause just , and the reward happiness and prosperity . Axe not tfieso sufficient incentives to action ? Is there an honest man who will not aid us ? Then , brethren , let us commence the work at once . Aid us to procure lecturers for our counties , whose duty it shall be to enlighten the minds of those who are ignorant of our principles ; let us disseminate knowledge by the distribution of political tracts , and Chartist periodicals ; let us carry the National Petition from door to door , and in every public thoroughfare let sheets be lain for signatures ; begin to collect funds for the forthcoming Convention ; in short , do toue duty , and victory is ours !
Does any one ask what good can be derived from the proposed proceedings—we answer : Public opinion trill bt created in mir / avour—opinion which carries with it resolution and determination ; a revolution of mind and of principle will be effected ; the apathetic will be aroused ; the ignorant instructed ; and the unjust terrified . Imagine for a moment the following : — In LondoD , a Convention of forty honest , intelligent , patriotic men , assembling daily , and , through the press , addressing the whole population of the kingdom , by speeches eloquent , argumentative , and persuasive : the masses , pressed down by dire necessity , eagerly catching every sentence uttered by men they believe to be labouring to promote universal good . The public mind
drawn to and attention rivetted upon , the presentation of the National Petition . Notice of the presentation , and a motion upon it , given to the House of Commons . The day arrives—a huge mass approaches St . { Stephen ' s —a dense multitude accompanies it , and loud and reiterated are their cheers . Tbe repeated peals of vociferous exultation without strike the ears of the mock representatives of tbe people—a whisper runs through " both sides" of the House— " the people are advancing to demand their rights ! " The on widely mass has arrived at tbe portals of " the House . " Borne od the shoulder * cf thirty or forty sturdy men , is an immense roll of paper , banded with large hoops of iron—it cannot enter—the doors are opened wide—but not wide enough for its admission—tie hoops are unhanded—the petition unrolled , and miles of paper , representing
million ! of people , an gradually dragged into the House , amidst the joy of the people—this cheers of their frisndi—and tt > consternation of their enemies . Silence restored , tbe petition it read—with its man /* tongned truths—aload in ** the House . ' , The number of petitioners . it dedartd to be fosr millions . The honest , though-small Motion of " the Bouse , " have rallied to support 'the people's demands . Elcquent appeals are made—but the strongest argument will be tbe huge petition on the floor . The dishonest , and tbe knavish , will have deserted their seats—the scene will have overpowered them—and tbe battle will be fought by a fourth part of the legislative assembly . A motion , in favour of tho People ' s Charter is made—fear will have done iU work . Aud theugn , perhaps , the People's Charter may not at th » t moment become the law , iu juatioe will be admitted by the division « pon the

motion ; and tbe victory proclaimed fay the echoing voices or thousands of enslaved people . But the agitation out of doors : this is our hope . The moderate Reformers will say— " The people an in advance of ufl : —behold the millions In which they demand their rights—ase their unity—mark their determination . We have , then , bat two altarnativet : to join a osrrupt and tyrannical aristocracy , or make common cause with the mighty people . From the former we have nothing to hope , but a perpetuation of injustice , and a consequent increase of oto wrontt;—WE will join thb people , FOB WITH TH 3 g OUR INTERESTS ABE IDBHTIFIED !" Then will come the struggle ; the convulsion will be mighty , but It win be of short duration—tbe union of the man * win have triumphed over the despotism of thePBWl !
Brethren , tali will serve to illustrate what U to be effected by the movement of 1842 . Come , then—delay no more—cast to the winds all feelings of enmity and disunion . Bem « mber , it is all within tbe compass of your power-bandit la to you we look for the co-operation to carry into full effect tbe resolutions we have adopted . We are , you Political Brethren , Q .

3lt5ep8.—Municipal Election.—The Committee Appointed A Deputation, Consisting Of -Messrs. Westlake, Stonehouse, And Brook, To Wait Upon The
3 LT 5 EP 8 . —Municipal Election . —The committee appointed a deputation , consisting of -Messrs . Westlake , Stonehouse , and Brook , to wait upon the
candidates . The deputation waited upon Mr . John Holmes , Mr . J . Dufion , Mr . Whitehead , and Mr . Bower . Mr . Holmes , for the North Ward , did not give answers to the deputation which the committee thought was satisfactory . Mr . Dufton , for tho North East Ward , gave answers to the deputation which the committee thought were very satisfactory . Mr . Wnitehead , for the North West Ward , answered in a very shuffling manner . He ridicules our idea of Universal Suffrage , and said he would give a man , his wife , and six children , eight votes ; and then said , after this , the Charter
was right in theory , but was not practicable at present , and told the deputation that the Chartists were not going the right way ; they ought to go for practical measures , such as a repeal of the Com Laws , and others similar . Mr . Bower , for the Hunslet Ward , answered the deputation in a very satisfactory manner . Ho will sign a petition for the Charter , and endeavour , if returned , to put a stop to the degrading practice of drilling ; the night watch , and will do his utmost in getting tbe use of the Court-House for the working classes to hold public meetings . The deputation laid the answers bofore the committee , when they were freely discussed , the answers of Mr . Whitehead were designated as those of a political quack . After a deal of discussion , the
Committee came to the following resolutions , to which they hope the Chartists in each ward will bear particular attention . Those in the North East and Hunslet Wards are called upon to support Mr . J . Dufton and Mr . Bower . Mr . Dufton is a man whom every honest Chartist may support , with a belief that he will do his utmost to better their condition , nationally and locally . Let , then , the Chartists rally round him on Monday next , and return him triumphantly as the working man ' s representative . Of Mr . Bower much need not be said ; he is well known ; he has promised fairly to remove those grievances which the working classes are Rubjected to . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —
1 . That Mr . James Dufton , and Mr . Joshua Bower , the candidates for the North East and Hunslet Wards , are entitled to the support of the Chartists in their respective wards , and we hereby call upon them to give them their votes and interest on Monday next . 2 . That the answers of Mr . Holmes , and Mr . Whitehead , are not satisfactory to the committee , and we call upon the Chartists , in those Wards , to remain neutral . 3 . That this committee would respectfully call upon all Chartists , residing in a ll the other Wards , to remain neutral , and let Whig aud Tory factions fight it out themselves . The above resolutions were laid before the publio meeting on Monday night , when it was moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , that the Report of the Election Committee be adopted . —Co-respondent .
Unwholesome Meat . —At the Leeds Borough Sessions , Thomas Bedford , of Morlev , pleaded guilty to an indictment preferred at the instance of the Leeds Improvement Commissioners , for offering for sale , at Leeds , unwholesome meat , unfit for sale , and entered into recognisances by himself and sureties to the judgment of tbe Court when called upon . The object of the Court was to hold the judgment over him to prevent a repetition of the offence . Mr . Hall , counsel for the prosecution , stated that if any similar cases occurred , punishment would be pressed for .
Odd Fellowship . —We understand that the Rev . Dr . Hook , Vicar of Leeds , will preach a sermon to the officers and members of the Leeds District of the M . U . of Odd Fellows , on Sunday afternoon , November the 14 th , after which , a collection will be made in aid of the funds of the Leeds General Dispensary . TV . e respective lodges of the District will assemble in the Coloured Cloth Hall , and march in procession to the Parish Church . O'Brien at Leeds . —On Tuesday evening , in accordance with prior announcement , Mr . O'Brien delivered the first of three lectures , in the Musio Hall , of this town , to which one penny each was charged for admission . Previous to the lecture , a party of friends , to the number of thirty , took tea
with the patriot , at Mr ? . Hall's Coffee House , in Calllane . On entering the Music Hall , at half-past seven o ' clock , Mr . O'Brien was received with tremendouB cheering . Mr . Wm . Brooke was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Roberts and Mr . Walker as a deputation from the Chartists of Leeds , to present an address , which was read amidst cheering . Mr . Westlako moved a resolution to the tffect that the imprisonment of Mr . O'Brien was both illegal and unjust , and pledging the meeting to support him in his future endeavours . This was seconded and carried , amidst loud cheers . Mr . O'Brien then came forward and the cheering wa ? renewed , and was continued for some time . He commenced bv expressing the pleasure he
experienced at meeting them again after an absence of two or two and a half years , but Mb regret at finding them in such a state of distress . He then alluded to his imprisonment , the crime for which he was imprisoned—a speech which he delivered twelve months prior to his prosecution , and which w&s reported to coutain sentiments which he never utteredand the conditions which were attached to hislibera tion—acknowledging to owe to the Queen the sum of £ 800 , in order that he be of good behaviour , and keep the peace towards all her Majesty ' s subjects . He disclaimed all connection with physical force doctrines , denied that the Chartists were tbe advocates of physical force , and charged these doctrines on tbe aristocracy , who declared that if at anv time
the majority of the people obtained possession of the government , no matter what the public opinion of the British people—no matter what was the publio opinitn of the country upon Universal Suffrageif the people did so obtain possession of the government , it would be an act of merit in the aristocracy to rise up and rebel against sueh government . Sir Robert Peel himself was net only a preacher of rebellion , but a receiver of stolen goods to a large amount ; by his act of 1819 . he had added fifty per cent , to his own property . In the eourse of a long address , Mr . O'Brien entered very largely into the means necessary to be used in order to obtain the rights of the people , and the use they were to make of t ) u » 6 rights when they had obtained them he
would put an end to agitation by leaving nothing to agitate for ; and the way to do this waa , by getting the Char ter the law of the land as scon aa possible , when they could see the objects * f the Charter carried out to their fullest extent / The first step towards this was to petition—nothing could be done without a numerously-fligned petition . The people were shut out from all power in the state , and , therefore this was the only constitutional means they had left , to show to the Government that the people were the most numerous party . On the presentation ef the petition , the Government would either grant their rights or they would not , and if they did not grant them then he was for getting them as their oppressors got theirs—by taking them . ( Cries of " there is no way else . ") T « do this they must

prepare for the next general election ; they muet have men ready to come forward , and elect them'by showof bandfl . They must have foor or five hundred men elected by at least nine-tenths of the nation , and then when the Parliament of the aristocracy was assembled they must petition—nay hnmbly implore these representatives of the one-tenth to walk off , and not look after the affairs of the nation any longer , as tha nation did not want them . Everyman , he contended , had three eonstitntionalrigbts : —1 . Every man had » right to hold op his hand at a general election , according to the ancient usage of the country ; 2 , Every man had a right to stop work when he liked ; and , 3 , Every man had a right to defend bis house if it was attacked by roKhnrn nrrAnAivem af ntnl * n annAa * htt h * A JLrioht . -v h ¦¦

He did not advise them to have arms , but if they had them and used them , it must be in self-defence . His plan was , then , first , to show the opinion of the country by having the petition numeronsly signed , and then if the national voice was not attended to , to be prepared with ulterior measures . Mr , O'Brien cimtinued his lecture untilshortly after ten , when he concluded amidst ( treat cheering , by stating the heads of his future lectures . Op Wednesday evening Mr . O'Brien resumed . Mr . Roberts wa » called to the chair . The lecturer commenced by reviewing the conduct of both Whigs and Tories , and severely deprecated the movement of Sir Robert Peel in proroguing Parliament at a time
when commmerce was on the verge of ruin , when thousands of the people of this country were actually starving for want , when trade was declining , and the commercial interests of the manufacturers were on tte brink of destruction ; whereas , had that gentleman have passed one law , yea , singly one law , namely , the Charter , all these things wonld have gone on prospering , and the country would have been benefitted in every way . ( Cheers . ) He went On at great length to depict the miseries endured by the labouring population of this country , dwelt on the measures proposed by the different political parties in existence , and sincerely advised them to recognise the repeal of no one law , nor of one tax , singly , but to go for the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter . He reviewed with great energy the evils of the banking
and funding system , as practised both m Europe and America , and proved his position-in a masterly manner , by reading several extracts from a book on the same subject , namely , the " Banking and Funding System , " by an American , showing felly , and , we think , satisfactorily to all present , that until that enormous system of swindling and robbery was abolished , this country would continue to be wretched , distressed , and miserable . Yes , even it they had Universal Suffrage to-morrow , it would , comparatively speaking , afford them little or no benefit , except those laws were wholly and entirely done away with . Mr . O'Brien occupied nearly four hours , and was loudly cheered when he sat down . A vote of thanks was moved to the lecturer , and to the chairman , when the meeting separated , highly gratified .
THIRSK—Fatal Accident . —On Friday last , a fine girl of the name of Mary Walker , who was nursing a child , was seated on the fore part of a cart , standing in Chapel-street , in this town , from which they were unloading potatoes ; unfortunataly the Winder ' s were taken off the pony ' s head to allow it to eat some hay that was given to it , when it immediately started off at full speed down a yard belonging to Mr . Imegou , currier , and aiming to go through a narrow passage at the bottom , the poor girl was jammed between the foreend of the cart and the wall on one side of the passage with which it came in contact , and waa killed on the spot . The child escaped with some slight bruises . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
Another Fatal Accident fhom Intoxication —On Wednesday last , a man named Burton returning to Pickhill with his horse and cart from a neighbouring village , where he had been buying fruit , had fallen asleep in the cart from intoxication ; tho horse being uncontrolled , turned off the road down a narrow lane leading to a watering place in the river Swale , and in attempting to cross , the stream caught the cart and upset it , and the unconscious bacchanalian was drowned .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND . My Fhiends , —It was decided at the late delegate meeting held in Bats , that public meetings should be convened in the West for tbe furtherance of the Chartist cause , and that speakers should go alternately to the different meetings . Now I ask you whether it be possible that working men can go a distance from ten to fifteen , or twenty miles , without means to pay their expences ? I am willing to go anywhere to aid the
cause , but I cannot , nor will I be such a feol to myself as to bear all expences . Tbe cause is to benefit you as well as us ; and if we are to labour on your behalf , are we to bear all tiie burdens of attending public meetings ? The West must be ogitated ; and means must be raised to defray the expences of those who shall be engaged in the good work . A trifle from each Chartist would raise a fund sufficient for all purposes . I call the attention of Mr . O'Cannor to this subject Your ' s faithfully , Q . M . Babtlett . Bath , October 27 , 1841 .

Such a one was our respected brother Al attnia ? , of the Bermondsey locality , and we mido onuiuu
deeply r egret » or auy pu * u , uv unytiu from pis native boH , to seek a subsistence in ^ foreign dime , when if it was not for the base system of a corrupt | Government , he , with all , might find ample means in this fertile land ; and this meeting is of opinion that these things call forth from us our united energies , to cause the Charter to become the law of the land , and that speedily , which would be the means of every man sitting under bis own vine , and under bis own fig-tree , in this once happy isle .
