- - ^ THE RAGE OF THE MILLIONAIRES , ^ The course pursued by slippery Peel , with reference to the sliding scale , and the Total Repeal , " has exasperated the MiUionare Masters and their tools into frantic madness ; or , at all eTents , they want folks to believe so . isvery means will be used to" kick up a ferment . " The men who could so lately throw up their esps , and shout , and petition and labour with all their little might , for little Lord Johx's ei ^ ht-shiliings ^ krfii-duty-free-trade-inoorn scheme , w 5 H * - affect ind : gnatioiP ~ tne most intense at Peel ' s supposing them capable of listening to any thing , or agreeing to anything , or permitting anything to be passed , hut a Total Repeal . " In all probability wa shall have some famous exhibitions of " strong language , " " nerrou 3 appeals / ' " excellent recommendations , " and " unmeasured denunciations , " if the people will but humour the hingrj crew so far as" to listen to them .- The tricks that were played off during the humbug "Reform" agitation will be again
attemptedfVheihsr Bristol and Nottingham have been again selected as the theatres of the Whig " torch-menV atrocities , we cannot say , not being in their _ secrets ; but that these things would not- be at all Ecrup ed at to serve Whig purposes , we have sufficient evidence in the first number of the Chronicle which has issued from the press since the development of Peel ' s scheme . Tne dirty wretch who performs the work of the tnUlioiiaires , commences his article by saying : —
«« We almost dread to try the patience of the nation , fey a communication of tha scheme gravely , proposed last night by Sir Robert PeeL" "f * And he concludes his diatribe \ b j pretending Jto entreat the public to continue the" praiseworthy conduct which has met so poor a jcqnital . " The scheme , " says he , " we know , is calculated to incense them ; but we trust they will bear with their wrongs . We entreat more especially all influential persons to exert ' thanselves to mode&aie the resentment of those whom their sufferings may have made desperate . Let them remind the people that-in passing ihe b ' -undaries of the laic , they only put weapons into the hands of their oppressors . "
Now , tchy all this entreaty ! wno 13 talking * Mr . Chronicle , of ** passing the boundaries of the law t" Who dreams of such a thing } None but the Anti-Corn Law League . 5 these ^ influential" friends of yours , Mr . Chronicle , who are so significantly called upon " to exert themselves to moderate (?) the resentment of those whose sufferings may haTe made them DESPERATE ! " No one else , certainly , thinks of " passing the boundaries of the law ! " We assure you
that " the public , " when they think of " passing the boundaries of the law" for a political measure , willlook for one in which they have some interest ; not for u Total Repeal , " which , under present circumstances , * won ] d confer benefit only upon -the Millionaire Millocrats , and perfect bttis upon the Labourers , boxh agricultural and manufacturing . No , no , Mr . Chronicle . It will be of no uss . for your " influential persons to exert themselves" to tfos end . u The public" will but laugh at you !
It is unnecessary that we should caution the people against the " tricks of the traders . " Ii irunneeessary that we should bid them rtmember that while the " influential persons" who " exerted themselves to siodebaxe (!) the resentment of the DESPERATE" at Brisiol ' and Nottingham , escaped scet-free from harm and secured their oven political ends , the poor dupe 3 whom they incited io " DESPERATION" were hanged I and transported . It is unnecessary that we should ask them to look on with -coolness , and watch the antics of the wretches who so lately crammed into
iheir gaols and inferaal Hell-holes five hundred working mea , for asking for a political r measure that would have betentted the people 1 It is unnecessary that we should bid them to take care that if there be any " passing of the boundaries of the law , " it shall be the idiliionaries themselves who so transgress j and that they do not permit a single working man to be pushed forward by the * icfluenuals , " into a position of danger or barm * It is quite unnecessary that we should do any of these things . The people have set their
hearts upon their own work ; they have resisted all the attempts of the " League" to seduce them from the allegiance they owe to their own order ; and they are not now going to permit themselves to be made the toois of the " influential" who are so kincly bidden to " moderate (?) the resentment of the DESPERATE . " No , no ! The people will leave the millionaire millocrats and the aristocracy to fight out by themselves the battle they hare entered upon ; while they prosecute thtir own ends . Bee to the signing of their own
NATIONBi , and prepare for the due assembling of their own Convention , to urge upon the Parliament" the claims of
4 , 000 , 000 0 E PEOPLE ! 1 And to do this , they will need no "influential persons" to " exert themselves to moderate C ?) the resentment of the DESPERATE 1 " They know their own work ; they know their own power ; they will use that power only for the accomplishment of their own work , not the work of faction ; and if the B Leagueis" desire to get out of their "desperate " struggle with their brother marauders of the aristocracy , without defeat , they must lay aside their
exclusive c ? ass pretensions , and " league"' with the people for right—; he right of the whole people—the right of the People ' s Charter . The people will be on the alert , and stick the Charter right bang under ihe nose of every mother ' s son of them that dares to ask for popular support against Peel , and for u Total Rr-peal . " Make them swallow the whole hog entire—bristles , snout , and all ! ! No mutilation ! no qualification ! The whole Charter , and no Ies 3 !

HOUSE OP COMMONS . —THTTESDi-T . The Speaker took the Chair at four o'clock . A vast number of petitions were presented against the Corn Laws , and some unimportant orders of the day were oisposed of . Colonfl Sibxhobp wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury a very important question relative to the resolutions which were proposed to the House last night . It was whether it was ihe intention of her Majesty ' s Government to make any alterations with regard to the manner in which the duties are now taken ; whether they were to be taken when the corn come 3 into the country , or whea it is taken out of bond . Sit Robert Peel said there was no alteration eontemplawd by her Majesty ' s Government .
Col . Sibthobp then gave notice that he should call ihe attention of the Committee appointed to investigate this matter to that very important point . Lord John Russell said there was a different law with regard to ihe importation of flour into Ireland and England ; for when the admission was prohibited in Ireland , it was allowed in England . He wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to introduce into the Corn Laws that clause which prohibited ihe importation of flour into Ireland , or whether the 3 &me law would apply both to Englind and Ireland .- This subject was one of great interest to the Irish , bu ; if the Right Hon . Baronet was not Epared to answer the question at present , he ixd John Russell ) would not press for an immediate reply .
Sir R . Peel said he had reserved that point for another question : he would endeavour to answer tfce inquiry on Monday next . AMENDMENT ON THE MINISTERIAL PLAN . Lord John Russell gave notice that on Monday BftTt , before the House went into Committee on tt «

Mehbeb , whose name we could not iearn , gave notice that on Thursday , the 24 th instant , he should move for a return of the total au ount of money received from the Chinese for the ransom of Canton .

LAMBETH AIE 2 V AT THEIR POST AGAIN . A public meeting , to petition Parliament fer a repeal of the Corn Lvsrs , and to elect delegates to the Corn Law Conference , was held on Tuesday night last , at th « British School Boom , George Street , Lamksth . J . Richardson , Esq ., was called to the chair , and opened the business by stating the objects of the meeting in a suitable speech . > Ir . Wiles came forward to move the first resolution , to the effect " That the present depressed Btate of trade , and the misery which existed in the country , were to be attributed to the existing Com Laws , and that the meeting should pledge itself to advocate the repeal thereof . " Mr . TV . Ha wes seco ded the resolution , and made use of the utual arguments adduced against the Corn Laws , at the conclusion of which
Mr . Hine rose to propose an amendment . He looked upon that discussion as a large cike- The Chairman began to nibble at the side of it , and was followed bj the others , who had pretty nearly nibbled all round the caie . ( Laughter . ) He ( Mr . Hiud ) would Ehow them , if they would but listen to him for five minutes , that he woulel eat right through it ( Cheers , and iau £ hter . ) He liked and -prizsd a large loaf as well as any iBan , for he was a teetotaller , and he liked plenty of tea . ( A voice— "With rum in it ") ( Loud laughter , j The Chairman had told them that they would have certain resolutions . He had told them that thsy nr . gbt get , by the repeal of these Food Laws , meat at 2 ^ d . per pound ; but did he nwi , know there were thousands of labeurme men , both agricultural and
manufacturing , who were unable to procure meat at ail , and who never would , uniier the present system ? iLond cheers . ) What was tbe price of meat to the pour weaker of Carlisle , or the cloth weaver of Leeds , who had about 2 j ( i . ptr day ior the support of his children and himself ?—( hear . ) How was that man to get two or three pounds of meat , even though it ¦ were but 2 Ad . a prnnd , wlftle he could not even cet bread , and while the present system lasted he never would —( cheers . ) The Chairman had further said , that notvritbBtandin ? all the demonstrations made ta Parliament , of the starvation prevailing ; notwithstanding all this privation , they would not rep a ! those laws . He ( Mr . Hind ) would ask whether
tbe present Parliament was more likely to repeal them tbaa the former one ? He then alluded te the bribery used at the late election , and stated that there were at that time sixty cases before Parliament of petitions against elections . This country was in the same position as France bsfore the Revolution , by tha system of class legislation —( loud cheers . ) Look to Louis the Fourteenth ' s time , and his glorious wars , together with that of his successor Louis the Fifteenth . At that time the nobility were high in the land , and contributed nothing to the taxes , all of which fell ou the people . Tne aristocracy of this conntry were going on in the same way , and Boon they would place England in the same position as France was
thenicheera . ) He tnew that the agricultural population had been for the last fifty years in a state of starvation—( hear . ) He had been in Hampshire last autumn , M ) d he was then in a village , ai : d he was meti with such complaints as these— " My husband tas been out of work for the last nine weeLs ; we are starving" —and there were hundreds of such cases . Talk of the Christian religion , let them haTe justice ? ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The anti-Corn Law people were under a mistake . If the Corn LawB were repealed to-morrow they would bave bread but a very little cheaper , they would only bave the amount of food they could not produce themseives—( hear , hear . ) They could not employ all the world for that What . they wanted was a reform of the system which enabled tbe Peels and the Marsballs to accumulate millions wbile others are left to starve .
( Loud cheers . ) He would not give a farthing fer a system that did not prevent a man dying with six millions of money , and at the Fame time prevent another man dying of fctarvation . ( A voice , " Could you ? " ) Yes , I could , ( said Mr . Hine ) bave I not told you how , you bloekhead?—( cheers , uproar , and laughteT . ) The amendment he had to propose was , That the feeling of the meeting is decidedly hostile to all monopoly , whether in commerce or legislation , whether in com , timber , sngsr , or in the religiras and civil institutions . This nuetir . g is therefore of opinion , that the Corn
Lawsare wieked , andpassed by an usurpiDg Parliament ; as well as the sugar and timber prohibitions , together with every other monopoly , and ooght to be totally and unconditionally repealed ; and , to prevent an ; future enactment of that or any similar pernicious scheme , this meeting is further of opinion , that , in order to prevent this , and save the people from class legislation , radical reform in Parliament is imperiously demanded . That all presetit eviiB and future ones can be prevented by no other machinery than the adoption of that great , clear , and comprehensive document—the Peoples ' s Charter . "
. Mr . Bxows Beconded the resolution in a lucid manner , showing the fallacies adduced in favour of tbt > present scheme . Mr . G . Huggett proposed another amendment , which he ultimately withdrew in favour of the whola hog" one . ilr . Sew ill supported the amendment in favour of the whole Charter , in an able speech , which the Chairman acknowledged to be carried by a large majority . The Rfe-v . Mi HUDSON same forward to propose a resolution te tbe following effect : — " That this meeting do pttition Parliament for the immediate repeal of the Corn Laws . " The Rev . Mr . Squires seconded the motion . Mr . Rai > slet moved as an amendment , " That this meeting adopt the National Petition instead of the one proposed . "
Mr . Ross seconded the amendment , which was supported by Mr . Peat , and carried by a large majority . The following gentlemen were then proposed as clelecates to the Com Law Conference : —John Fell Christie , Esq . ; John M'Leod , Esq ; Tamea Richardson , Esq . ; an « Joseph Hnme , Esq . The CHAiEMAjf was about to propose them to the meeting , when Mr . Tatxok moved an amendment , "That Mr . Benjamin Huggett , Mr . Bainsley , Mr . Roes , and Mr . Hine be sent as del < gates instead of those first proposed . " Mr . Jago seconded the amendment , which was carried by a large majority . The Chairman then hanged the delegates their credentials , stating that the Corn Law League had passed a resolution stating . *• That no person should be admitted as delegates who were elected at public meetings where Chartist resolutions were passed . "
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman , and the meeting separated highly delighted to perceive that the days of humbug are passed . The deputition attended next morning at the Crown and Anchor , and waited three houra while the committee were deciaing whether they Ehould be admitted , and were immedately informed , " That the constitution of the meeting that elected them would not admit of their being received . ** The deputation were abruptly forced back on their first presenting themselves , by a person who kept the " gang-way" with a cudgel in his hand , but were af terwarda treated witti more courtesy . -

X . OKOON . —Chabtist Triumph-and Shameful Conduct op thb ajtii-Cobn ; Law Party . —By a report in another part of our paper , the reader will be aware of the Chartist triumph , at the anti-Corn Law meeting , on Friday evening , at the Literary Institution , Princes-street On that evening , ' Mr . Leader , M . P ., previously to his leaving the chair , announced that another meeting would be held at the same place , on Tuesday , toe 8 th , when ample time would be allowed for discussion . Mr . Sidney Smith also announced the meeting for Tuesday evening . The Chartista of the Western district , unwilling to lose this opportunity of showing to their feilow-working men the superiority of the agitation for the Charter over the isolated free trade system , mustered in considerable
force . Although it was a wet evening , yet by eight o ' clock an immense crowd was collected round the doors of the Institution , where they were informed that no meeting upon the Corn Laws was to take place , but that a lecture on chemistry was to be delivered to the members of the Institution . Believing this to be a deception , and the crowd continually increasing , Mr . Leigh was deputed to ascertain the reason of this shameful breach of public faith , when it was discovered tl a , in consequence of their defeat on the previous evening , a select committee had met on the Saturday , and put eff the met ting sine die—great disappointment being expressed at the conduct of Sidney Smith and the committee . Mr . Leigh addressed the meeting , and moved its adjournment to the Craven Head , Drury
Lane , which was unanimously aereed to , and that tavern was speedily crowded to exeew . every avenne being literally blocked up . Mr . Ruffy Ridley was tk&n called to the chair . Mr . Parker moved the following resolution : — " £ hat this meeting hereby express their unqualified disapprobation of tha conduct of Sidney 8 mith and the Committee of the anti-Corn Law Association , in announcing & meeting to be held at the Literary Institution , Frinces-street , to discuss the merits of the Corn Laws , and when the audience assembled they were disappointed , by finding the place of meeting closed against them , thereby proving to uemonbtrkfion th&t they were afraid to ni&et the publie in op « H discuEiion . " Mr . WiUon ally eeoonded this resolution , which was supported by Henrs . Ford ,

Wheeler , and Wbaley , and carried with one dissentient . Mr . H . Leigh then delivered an able , spirited , and eloquent lecture on the fallacies of Ihe free trade system , completely demolishing the cobweb sophistry in which the anti-Corn Law leaden have entangled themselves and their adherents , and challenged them , one and all , to meet him in fair discussion at Exeter Hall , or any other place of public resort Mr . Leigh was tremendously cheered during the whole of his excellent address . At its conclusion , Mr . Parker moved , and Mr . Osborne seconded , iu able speeches , the adoption of tbe following resolution : — " T / jat , in the opinion of this meeting , the only practical and
beneficial method of repealing the Corn Laws is by causing the People ' s Charter to become the law of tbe land . " Mr . Griffiths and another gentleman made some remarks in opposition , which were ably replied to by Messrs Wheeler , Parker , M'Frederiok , and Leigh . The resolution was then unanimously carried . Votes of thanks were given to the landlords of the house for their uniform kindness in granting to the working classes the use of their spacious rooms , and likewise to the Chairman and lecturer . The meeting then adjourned until the next anti-Corn Law meeting , if , after this shameful flight , they { should have the effrontery to call one . -
Tailors , Red " Lion , King-street , Golden Sqtjare .- —Mr . Ridley lectured here on Sunday evening . Subject— "The British Constitution " The lecture was highly applauded . The ballot in this locality is in favour of Messrs . M'Douall , Parker , and FusselL . . " . Great Chartist Meeting in the Borough of Greenwich . Placards were issued convening a meeting to be held in the rooms of the Lord Duncan , Broadway , Deptford , and stating that the borough Members nad been invited and were expected to attend , on Tuesday evening , February 8 th . At a quarter past seven , Mr . Douglas was unanimously ca led to the chair . The spacious room was densely . crowded and a great number waiting that could not gain admission . An
adjournment was moved and carried , to a large outhouse , boarded , ceiled , and lighted with gas , capable at least of holding one thousand persons . This immediately became so densely crowded that the windows were obliged to be thrown open to admit air , many standing on the outside . The Chairman read the numerously signed requisition and placard convening the meeting . ( Cries of " Are the members for the borough present f" ) Chairman—They are net present , neither have they sent a reply to the letters requesting their attendance . ( Shouts of " They may look out when they want our votes . " ) He than called on Mr . Joseph Morgan to move the first resolution , "That this meeting views with regret and alarm , the present unparalleled distressed state of the country , and
it is our opinion a remedy can only be found by the millions inquiring into the present defective state of the represectation . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Paris and supported by Mr . Maynard . Mr . Stanley moved the stcond resolution as follows ;—"That thismetting is of opinion that the source of all the evils which affect the community is ta be traced to class legislation , and that no efficient remedy will ever be applied until the principles tf the People ' s Charter shall become the law of the laud . This meeting therefore adopt the National Petition praying that ita principles shall become law . " He would content hiaise . f with so doing , and leave it tj more able men to support . Mr . Da vies seconded the resolution . Mr . Stallwood was now called on amid cheers to support
the resolution . He spoke at some length , and at the conclusion of his speech , Dr . Drury rose in the midst of the meeting . ( Loudjcries of " platform . " ) He was at length allowed t ) proceed where he was . He said the measures tbe speaker had advocated could only be obfiineid . at the point of the bayonet iLoud shouts of ' nonsense , humbug ' " < fcc . ) The meeting could notsee the danger , the risk , and confusion of carrying it ; he would repeat it could only be carried by brute force . ( Interruption . ) Mr . Stillwood rose and obtained an hearing for the Doctor ; after iterating and reiterating what he had previously stated , he sat down amidst a shout of derisive laughter . Mr . Stallwood , aaiid loud cheering , replied to and refuted the objections mooted by Dr . Drury , showing that the Reform Bill and
Catholic Emancipation had been carried without a resort to brute force ; and as from the people sprung alike the soldier , policeman , and the money which paid and continued their e&i « tence ; let them only desirt their freedom . and they would discover the truth of Lafayette ' s maxim , " tha ' c for a nation to be free 'twas sufficient that she wiil'd it . " ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously , amidst deafening acclamations of applause . Mr . Dodd then read and moved the adoption cf the National Petition , seconded by Mr . Knight . Thu pttition was then put and carried by acclamation , Dr . Drury being the only dissentient Mr . Firih moved the following address on behalf c-f Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all political prisoners : —" May it please your Majesty , we , your Majesty ' s
subjects , inhabitiDt * of the borough of Greenwich , in pubiic meeting assembled , beg leave to approach your Majesty , eiitreatingyour Majestyjto mark the ' auspiclira * eveitt of the christening of the Royal Princa , by granting a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all political prisoners , which will be hailed with joy and thankfulness by millions of your much oppressed people . " Mr . Keen cordially seconded the address . Mr . Illingworth , from Leeds , supported the address . Mr . Dillon , another Irishman like Dr . Drury , said they were not in a condition to pass tbe resolution piopounded ; a commission of lunacy ought to be issued against its propounders . Mr . Palmer , a tradesman of the Borough , rose and » id , I promised the gentleman if I heard a single reason in favour of his amendment , I would second it I have listened in vain ; he has advanced none- ( Loud cheers . ) He has told you this
was not a meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough ; this was a very large room , but certainly not large euoiuh . Had it been the month of June instead of the month of February , and we could have met under the canopy of heaven , be bad no doubt we should have had 20 , 000 persons present . ( Great * . appiause . ) He was fond of instruction—an enthusiast in favour of education . He had made inquiries of the learned and instructed , and could not discover a single error in the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Feeling as he did the full force of their beauty , justice , and truth , if be lost the whole of his customers tomorrow he would retain his opinions , and continue a Chartist ( Loud applause ) The address was then put and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman , a great number of signatures added to the petition , and the meeting dispersed .

HULL . PUBLIC MEETING , in FREEMASON'S HALL , ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED COTTON SPINNERS . Considerable excitement has been prevalent in Hull , for some few days back , in consequence of the iurn out . of the weavers , and , ultimately , we understand , of all the hands employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills . About three years ago , one of the Hells of modern
civilization , a Cotton Mill was erected in the Groves , a joint-stock concern , upon a somewhat extensive scale , the property of a company of speculators , most of them entirely ignorant of the business , and conducted in all its practical operations , by a Manager , whose business , of course , was to see that whatever became of the ** workies , " the " Capital" of the Company should return a fair per centage , besides paying his and his assistants' salaries , the amount of which we do not know , though we hare been , told that they are enormous .
Factory workers were induced , by representations of good wages and plenty of work , to immigrate from the factory districts of Cheshire and Lancashire , only to find ouc that they had made an exchange greatly for the worse . The poor creatures struggled with their fate for a long time in silence ; bus the patience even of Englishmen does not always last , and they , at length , made a show of resistance in the shape of a "turnout . " During the past week placards were issued , of which the following is a copy : —
" Tyrrfnny , oppression , and reduction , at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills !!—An appeal of the turn « out cotton weavers , of the above mill's , to the inhabitants f HulL—Friends , and Brother Operatives , —It is with feelings of deep regret , that we have to inform yon of some of the over-bearing acts of oppression which bos been imposed upon nsfor a considerable length of time at the above factories , and the present attempt of the manager to oppress us still further ; which is the cause of our present turn-out . For a long time our wages have been lowering by degrees ; and they are now such miserable pittances that they will scarcely keep us from starving ; being on average , for a two-loom weaver , ( a class of workpeople from sixteen to fifty years of age ) , not more than six shillings per week ; and for
which , we have to labour hard from twelve to fourteen hours per day . The master thinking these ' good wages ' too much , now makes another attempt to lower them still more ; the circumstances of which , are as follows : — Early last week , there were put upon the looms , what are called " self-acting temples , " which are tons of no benefit whatever , but for which , the manager told as that our ' good wages * would be reduced , by taking therefrom , to tho amount of twopence in the shilling . Having put up with reductions like this , time after time , we determined to do so no longer ; and the whol « of us that were ' favoured' with the ' self-acting temples , " immediately left our work' and appointed a deputation to wait upon the manager , to try if they could reason with turn , and show him the injustice whioahe
wanted to inflict upon us ; aceordingly the deputation waited npon him , whom he called a set of madmen , who did not know when they bad good roasters ; that their wages were reduced on account of the accursed Com Law » l ! That they had c good vaget' still ; that he would not be talked to by them ; and that they were to be off about their bu * ines » , as he had nothing more to say . In this condition are we placed by the grinding iufiaence of Mammon . We woulc also state , that in all other cotton districts where the " self-actiDg temples" are us » d , the workmen receive better wages than we did without them ; in fact , our v& ^ i generally are considerably lower . ' For insUnc * , we restive for weaving "' -78 yards , Is . 5 d-, and for the very ume kind of work in Laoc&ahire , Che-

shire , Set ,, workmen receive for weaving 60 yards , Is . 8 d . ; and some of our fellow-workmen have been reduced in their wages , within the last fifteen months , to the amount of 15 a . per week , and yet our masters say w « are : well paid . ' And having been entrapped here , by lying agents , from the Cotton districts of Lan ^ ashire and Cheshire , we have been used worse than brutes ; tbfi manager knowing there is no other factory for us to flee to in this district Numerous acts ot diabolical tyranny , which we have not room to mention here , will be gWen y 6 u in hand-bUla ; To conclude * we now beg to solicit your assistance , boping thereby that we may be enabled to resist such infamous tyranny and
oppression , and trust that we shall not make this appeal to your sympathies int Vain , Authorised persons , appointedby ^ the 'Belief Comniittee / Will attend upon benevolent personB of aU classes , to give every necessary information , and to solicit their pecuniary aid .

The inhabitants of Huil are respectfully informed , that a public meeting will be held in tne Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate , on Monday evening next , February -7 th , 1842 , to commence at ^ half-past seven o ' clock , when a lull and correct exposure will be given of the horrid and almost unparalleled treatment practised by the manager upon the cott 6 n weavers ^ &c , at the Hull Flax and cotton mills . Subscriptions will be thatkfuliy received at the door , to support the cotton weavers on strike . ' *
Thespapious hall , capable of holding more than 1000 persons , was crowded to excess . Mr . Samuel Healy was called ! to the chair . The Chairman reau the placard calling the meeting , and also a long statement of facts of the most appalling character , in reference to oppressions of the poor weavers and spinners in this den of horrors . Mr . Jamas Hastington then addressed the raeeting at some lengthy after which the following resolution was moved by Mr . Lundy , and Beconded by : Mr * Matthews : — "That thia meeting having heard with deep regret * the appalling statements that have been made respecting the horrid oppressions practised upon the workmen employed at the Hull iVax and Cotton MillsVby the manager thereof , do sympathise with the men , and pledges itself to support them in their stride against unparalleled oppression . " It was supported by Mr . Hornsby and others , and carried unanimoui . ly .
Mr . Lunijyi then moved , and Mr . HoSNSBr seconded another resolution , to tho effect that a report be inserted in the Star , to caution the Lancashire people against being allured to the cotton mills of Hull . The Chairman ; made an appeal to the meeting , on behalf of the turnputs , after which the followiug resolution was moved , seconded , and cirried unanimously : — "That the thanks of this meeting are due to Mr . Satuuel Healey , for having so ^ promptly rendered assistance to ; our fellow townsmen iu giving publicity to their base usage , through the pregs . " Mr HEALEV replied briefly to the resolution . A great impression was made on the meeting by the appalling statement of facts . A collection was made fur the weavers at the door .
We do hope that these suffering men will not be permitted by the virtuous , and , generally speaking , well-off population of Hull , to be borne dewn in this struggle with an insidious and powerful foe : we would also extend this appeal to their brethren of the factory districta in Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire . Bad as the condjtion of the factory people in these districts is , their brethren of Hull are in a worse condition . Do not , then , suffer the insatiate monster , ' capital , ' to make even that worse still . We are glad to learn that at the meeting on Monday night , almost every speaker , instanced the present as another of the many evidences why tho peoplo should be unanimous in their demand for the ^ Charter as the only efficient measure of promotion .

H . Candy lectured here on Wednesday , when an Association was formed , and fifteen members were enrolled . oiiOHAM . — -PuBLip Meeting on the Corn Laws . —TMs long-anticipated meeting was convened by a requisition , numerously signed , and was held on Wednesday evening last . The announcement was given by large flaming bills , and the affair having been long in contemplation , had been the means of creating extraordinary excitement betwixt the
Chartists and the Corn Law repealers . The ; Chartist Committee had , from the commencement , understood f ; om thei opposite party that full , fair , free , and equal discussion would be allowed , and that each party would be allowed to invite what amount of talent they thought necessary to support the views of the respective parties on the subject ; also that proper time would be given to every speaker , and the contest so justly regulated as to have man for man . It was , therefore , thought by the Chartist Committee that the great guns of the League would be present . They on their part invited Messrs . Wost , Bell , Clarke , and Griffin to support the Charter . The time announced for commencement of business was seven o ' clock ; but long before
that hour large numbers were wending their way to the Town Hall , the place of meetingi and when the doors were thrown open there was a general rush to gain admittance , whilst the respectables came in by a side door and monopolised the platform and front seats . Considerable noise add confusion took place , before a chairman could be appointed ; and at length Mr . John Brierley was { duly elected . It was then made known to the committee and meeting that the parties calling the meeiinghad invited hojextra talent ; on these grounds stranjzers were prevented speaking . By this previously concerted trick they were enabled to bring their own speakers ready prepared to the meeting ; while the Chartists' arrangements were all thrown into disorder : they having arranged for
two townsmen to move and second an amendment if necessary ; but depending for discussion on the strangers present : ; by invitation . To meet the exigency speakers had now to be called from the meeting , unprepared of course with documents or any means of argument than their general knowledge of the subject . Notwithstanding all , howeverr , the Chartist amendment moved by Mr . Crowder , and seconded by Mir . Smethurst , was carried by a considerable majority : thoughi of ' course the League man in the chair declared it lost . The speeches of the Anti-Corn Law orators were of a character to deprecate as much as possible the perseverance of the Chartists . Much diisatisfaction wai expressed at the partial and unfair dfiuaiom of the Chainuo .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . V Sir , —Wilt you allow me to trespass on your columns by making a few observations ia your next Saturday ' s Star ? And first , allow me to remark , that I ant a streauQua advocate for ITniveraal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , and , in skort , the whole of the claims set up by the supporters of the People's Charter . I have thought it beat to make tkese few preliminary remarks to obviate any misconception , as to the motives of the writ ; r in advancing the following few short remarks on a subject in which I am aware the Chartists io general do not coincide . I allude to the subject of tho Corn Laws . ¦' . - ¦ ¦ . ¦ . ' , . ¦• " " . ¦ , ¦ . ' -- ¦ ¦ . ¦ . . ¦; . : ; . ;¦ These laws ; I believe , are allowed by the great body of your numerous readers ' , and of the party to which you belong in general , to be not only a great national evil , but a palpable and barefaced fraud committed by tbe privileged few at the expense of the oppressed and deeply iDJured many .
Taking it for granted that the position I have assumed will not be controverted by the vast mass of the industrious population of Great Britain , I shall here take leave to question the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the Anti-Corn Law League , and the Coiri-Law Repealers in general . Sly grounds far so doing are as follows :---It appears perfectly clear and satisfactory , to myself , at kast , that , taking into consideration the position and resources of rulers—I mean the landed Aristocracy—it is utterly and totally impossible to repeal these obnoxious laws , with the franchise constituted m it is at present ; the game to be played being iu tne hanas of the very legisl ators who have a vital interest in their being suffered to exist in their present ( to
them ) convenient shape . Assuming , then , this to be correct , and taking into consideration the great | depression in trade , pressing with a giant ' s grasp at the life and existence of every branch and ramification of the commercial Bystem , and threatening ita annihilation , I would , ask whether it is not natural that the trading interest should feel a desire for the removal of that pressure which Is crippling its resources and dcBtrejing its being ? a position ¦ which many , I may aay most Of the manufacturers and tradespeople , attribute to the baneful operation of the Cord Laws . I shall Vanticipate your answer by assuming it to he in the affirmative . It then followBj as a matter of course , tbat if my premises are so far correct , tiie question at issuti will stand thu 3 : — ; ; :
It is essential , in the views of the commercial world , that to preserve the trade of the country the Corn Laws should be repealed . Granted : but this cannot be done without au extension of the suffrage ; ergo , the agitation of the Corn Law question is of iuumenae benefit and advantage to the claimants of the Charter , by serving as a means—and a capital one too—to enlighten those now opposed to their yiows by showing that their only chance of redress is to join their rarikt— -the folly ot thinking to obtain their rights without it being too
apparent to admit of either question or cavil ; ami , ergo , that on theso grounds—selfish ones if yon like to cali them s o—if on no other , oil p&ifclea Ousbt to join in . the repeal cry , if only to convince the pretended liberals , -who are actuated only in their exertions by sordid notions of self-aggrandisemer . t , that they art building on a sandy foundation ; and , ergo , that " the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the anti-Corn Law League , and the Cora Law repealers in general , " is by no means apparent , and wants
confirmation—*' ¦ Quod erat demonstrandum .
