O'Connor a public breakfast on the morning of the demonstration , and make arrangements for holding a public meeting on Fairweather Green .

Smith , delegate to the
West-Riding Delegate Meeting , gave m his report of the proceedings of that meeting , which gave general satisfaction . A resolution was passed that one thousand copies of the National Petition should be purchased for distribution in the town and nei g hbourhood of Bradford—that the town should be divided into districts , and that persons should be appointed to deliver the same , one to each house—that they should again be collected , and redelivered till every inhabitant had had an opportunity of seeing that excellent document . The council then adjourned to nest Sunday evening .
Female Chabtists . —These excellent women met at the North . Tavern on Sunday evening last , to make arrangements for the forthcoming demonstration . D-elpi Hole , Litixe Hoetox . —The . Chartists of this locality met at their usual place of meeting on Monday last , when Mr . J . Brook was called to the chair ; Mr . Alderson delivered an argumentative and interesting lecture on the benefits which would accrue to the working classes from the adoption of the People ' s Charter . Several new members gave in their adhesion to the society . Some of them had been most bitter opponents . Subscriptions were entered into for the purpose of purchasing a flig for the forthcoming demonstration , in honour of the " uncaged lion , " Mr . O'Connor .

BACUP . —We had an address from Mr . Marsden on Thursday , October 28 th , in our Association room , which was well attended . He dwelt on the principles of the Charter with his nsnal ability , and from the particular attention paid to his lecture , and the number of signatures got at the close of the meeting , there is not the least doubt but that the
visits of lecturers to Bacup will be productive of much good . There is a portion of the first report which we sent you that appeared in the Star dated October 9 ih , which states that H Hargreaves the Corn Law Humbug , said that this place was 100 years behind any other in point of civilization , but had he said 100 years before any other in point of tyranny , he would nave said aright . " This has canrewt dissension and ill feeling between the manufacturers of Bacup and the members of oar Association . They ( the manufacturers ) believe that this sentence applies to them . Now , the members of Bacup Chartist Association deny that the sentence above alluded to , had any allusion to the manufacturers , and hope this contradiction will heal the breach that has been made by the wrong appropriation of the sentence .

Holenshead delivered a spirited lecture on the following subject : — "England and America as at present situated . " Mr . H . went fully into all the ramifications of both countries . He was warmly applauded throughout the whole lecture , which occupied upwards of an hour in delivery . On Thursday evening , there was a goodly number , and when the correspondence was laid before them , which had been received during the week , it gave general satifaotion , particularly the letter from the Executive ; all declared that they would do their best to support that useful and intelligent body . At the close , some new members were enrolled , making in all eight new members during the week ; all Jsober , thinking , intelligent working men .
LEICESTER , —Our numbers still progress , and the steady , deep enthusiasm of our people continues . Rumours are afloat that the middle classes are devising some scheme for a colourable avowal of Universal Suffrage . One thing is certain—Mr . Miall , the Editor of the Nonconformist , was in Leicester last week , and the purport of his visit is known to have been an attempt to persuade his old friends here to come out and join working men in demanding an extension of the Suffrage to all tax payers . Mr . Bairotow preached to an excessively crowded audience , on Sunday night , in the room ai All Saints' Open , and delivered a highly eloquent and impressive lecture on the demooratio poetry of Shelley , on Monday night .
CASXBERWELZi AND WAX . WORTH . —The Chartists of this locality held their usual weekly meeting at the Moatpelier Tavern . Mr . Passell was elected as delegate to the General Council , 55 , Old Bailey . Mr . Ruffy Ridley gave a splendid lecture upon the principles of the People ' s Charter , to a numerous audience . Mr .

At the conclusion of the lecture , Mr . Ridley read the National Petition , which was received with much applause . Tke lecture seems to have inspired them with the fire of Chartism , and no doubt that some thousands of signatures will be obtained in this locality to the -National Petition .

BROJttS&ROVE . —On Wednesday evening last , Mr . Mason delivered a splendid address to a numerous and an attentive audience . The lecturer was repeatedly cheered .

GLASGOW .-A meeting of the directors of the Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage Association was held in their own . Hall , College Open , on Tuesday night ireekYfof the purpose of making arrangements for calling a public meeting of the citizens of Glasgow , in order to consider the propriety of electing two delegates to attend the Scottish Convention , about to bebSdin Glasgow . After some discussion , it was screed to hold the said meeting in . St . Ann ' s Church , on Monday , Nov . 8 th . Tfie public mind in Glasgow is at present in the highest possible pitch of excitement , In consequence of tha approaching discussion which is to take place on the 4 th , in the New Bazaar Ball , between Brewster and O'Connor , Breweter ' g Btrtv in Glasgow , which comprises all the equivocal
Chartists , sham Radicals , Whigs , O'Connellites , Corn Law repealers , and praying teetotallers , are in active operation , mustering their forces ; while the strong army of true Chartists in and around Glasgow . are in the highest spirits , glorying in this forinnaie opportunity , of crushing , in one night , the combined powers of qaaekery , Whiggery , and humbug . It is now apparent to the reflective and intelligent portion of the Chartist body here that the JUv . Paddy Brewster has- some deep and damning design under his present hunting after and persecution of O'Connor : in fict , it is firmly believed that le is acting for a party who at present chooses to remain behind the screen , until the parson has prepared the Btage for their performance ; but woefully
vill they be disappointed , deep will be their mortification , and terribly disastrous their defeat ; while it will add new Btrength , and inspire new vigour , -into the friends of our glorious and virtuous movement , and that generous devotion to the great champion of t > ur cause will be increased , and his petty and envious foes looked upon with that suspicion which their ungenerous conduct so justly merits .- M Now ' s -the day , and now s the hour ; " Scotland does not expect , because she knows that every Chartist and erery friend of freedom will do his duty . Bkidgetok . —A public meeting of the inhabitants © fBridgeton was held in the Chartist Hall , Dale-Street , for tbe purpose of hearing a leeture from Mr . Thompson , editor of the Scottish Patriot and Chartist
Ofcidar , on the present evils of society ; Mr . John Cowan , was called to the chair , who briefly introduced the talented lecturer to the meeting . Mr . Thompson then in a strain of impassioned eloquence , which thrilled through every heart , laid open the many evils which existed in the present state of society , the vast amount of corruption ,-ihe extensive robberies which was perpetrated , and the hollow and heartless acts of injustice which was practised upon " the industrious poor of Great Britain and Ireland , by a banditti and unprincipled aristocracy , and a so less grasping and profligate merchantile and trading shopocracy , while he depicted in glowing and affecting language the gross immorality , debauchery , gluttony , and fearful extravagance which
Sowed from'this state of things on the one hand , and the vast amount of misery , destitution , disease , starvation , aad death , which was the consequence on the other . He then referred to the various remedies proposed for this state of things such as Socialism , MalthuBianisHi , Chartism , nonintrusionism , voluntaryism , church building , tract distributing , emigration , oo-operation , and teetotalism , which h « did in a strain of humour , satirising some , ridiculing others * and applauding the good amid the most lively bursts of approbation . He wound up his lecture by giviog it as his opinion that no system however good for the amelioration of the many could ever be earned into effect until the people had the
power of making the laws by which they were to be governed , and that could never be the case until the People ' s Charter became the law of the land . The lecturer sat down amid load cheering , after which * discussion ensued , in which Messrs . Black , Ewing , 3 S * Hay , Melroy , Rodger , Shovelbottom , Martin , and others took a part ; after which Mr . Thompson summed up , and in allusion to something which had been said about the Corn Laws , he stated it as his belief that those who expected good from a repeal efthfirCant LawB were labouring under a state of ialncaiaiioB , and those who advocated a repeal of those laws without a corresponding reduction of our public hardens , was praetisng a sy .-tem of roguery
and deception , while he pointed out the absolute foll y and utter hopelessness of getting these laws repealed by the voluntary act of a House of Commons and a house of hereditary lords and landowners , whose interest it was to perpetrate these mrjost and obnoxious laws , and consequently the same universal power which -would be required to compel these houses to repeal these laws would carry the Charter , a document about which there could be no mistake , and which would confer a power upon the people which would enable them at once to shake from their shoulders the terrible incubus of despotism , oppression , and corruption which has so-long withered and eorsed oar native land . These sentiments gave universal satisfaction . A vote of thanks was then
rapturously given to the lecturer , and another to the chairman , when . the meeting dissolved . A Sflbhdid Chartist Coxcebt was held in the IiVBemn Rooms , on ^ Saturday T » ght , which was crowded to overflowing . The solo and comic song Auuuwpu in loiation , calling forth loud bursts of Applause . These concerts are held every Saturday evening , thus bringing together the friends of the movement aad enabling them to pass a few hours of unalloyed happiness away from the contaminating influence too often found in the dram-shop where the -working classes having no other place of resort , too often repair for relaxation after their week ' s hard iofl , and while these concerts furnishes our brother and sister Chartists with amusement , the proceeds famish the means for carrying on the movement , hence we would say to other towns—follow the example of Glasgow .
The ham > loom weavers committee beg leave to state through the Star that they are making active preparations for the benefit lecture , which Mr . O'Connor has kindly consented to deliver for their benefit before he leaves Scotland . BRADFORD . —Mr . Henry Tincent delivered an eloquent and impressive lecture on Wednesday evening , the 27 th ult ., in the Social Institution , to a crowded audience . He commenced his lecture at eight o ' clock . Mr . James Dewhirst was called to the chair , who made a few remarks , and then introduced Mr . Vincent to the meeting , who was received with three tremendous cheers , and clapping of hands . After the cheers had subsided , Mr . Vincent briefly introduced himself to their notice , by stating that
many in that audience , perhaps , knew nothing about him , but what they had heard from the Whig and Tory press , which invariably represented him a 3 a disaffected and dangerous character—as oie who did all in his power to promote anarchy , revolution , and bloodshed . The lecturer then entered into the c rcumstancas attending his arrest and trial at Monmouth , giving a phrenological description of the ignorant and stupid Jury by which he was tried and found jjuilty , likewise an account of hi 3 subsequent imprisonment , and hi 3 sufferings in Monmomh Gaol , the MilDank Penitentiary , and in Oakham Gaol . He cave an account of the conversation between Lord JSormanby and himself on the Charter , and made a direct charge against his Lordship of breaking the
law , on purpose to punish him with the most heartless , cruel , and degrading treatment which could be devised . Mr . Vincent kept his audience continually in . a titter , with hi 3 admirable mimicry of the different characters who figured on the" part of the prosecution of himself and others . He was repeatedly greeted with the most enthusiastic and deafening cheers . The talented lecturer gave a soul-stirring description of the origin of -Government , and the duty of the Government , and ihe people ; he depicted , in language the most forcible ana energetic , the neglect , and- flagrant abuse of the powers which the people placed in the hands of their rulers for the benefit of society at large . He next explained the six -points of the Charter ,
contrasting the ten pound Suffrage with Household , and convinced hi 3 audience that Universal , or the Charter Suffrage , -was fee most jast and rational for the working classes to contend for ; he insisted that HouseholdSuffrage would give the landed aristocracy store power than they now possessed . Mr . V . said the objection that was made , that annual elections ¦ would cause uproar and confusion , would be of no Bore moment than meeting to give their representative a vote of thanks for hi 3 services if he were honest , and had done his duty to the people , they -would return him again ; if he had done otherwise , they would very deservedly send him about bis business , and select another in his stead . The Ballot he -contended , would protect the farmer , or the tenant
from the influence and intimidation of the landlord , shopkeeper from his customer , the labourer from bis jnas ter , and the mechanic and artizan from the tyranny which millocrate have ever used towards those who have the franchise ; eretj person would then be able to give his vote in accordance with his own conscience . The payment of members was considered by the Whigs and Tories as foolishness , Beeing they had so many honourable and worthy gentle-Ben who would be glad to serve them for honour . The propel ty qualification for members onght to be abolished , and talent , honesty , and integrity , ought to be thBOEly qualification for those who are to govern the nation . Mr V , contended for the division of the empire into electoral districts , and not for a
borough coaMstang of a population of about 200 to lave the same political power aa another borough tkat contains twenty thousand . He explained in an eloquent manner the six points of the Charter , and made an affectionate appeal to the femalo part ¦ of his audience ; after which he sat down in a state of moeh exhaustion . The Chairman called on Mr . John Smith to move a memorial to Sir James Graham , for the liberation of Robert Peddie , William Brook , Jobft Walker , and Nay , the only four pri-Jjoners that are i ^ ytiaon fer the Bradford riots , as thejrw »^ a 11 e * f ^ J& .
