fL GtASGOW . —Important Public Meeting . —On last Monday eTening , & meeting of the citizens traa called by bill to bear a report from tbeir delegates at the late convention , and to receive an account of the stewardship of their -worthy treasurer , Mr . George Boss , for the last year ; also that they might adopt a petition to the House of Commons for the Charter , and elect directors for the future government of the Association . Mr . Brownlee was called to the chair , and after stating the objects of the meeting , introduced Messrs Moir and Proudfoot , our delegates , wio gave -full satisfaction to their constituents , in reference to each and all their debts , in the late Conyention . The unanimous thanks of the meeting was carried by acclamation to the two gentlemen . The next business being the adoption of a petition , Mr . John ColqaQoun moved , and Con "Murray seconded , " That the petition dravn up by the English Executive be the petition of the inhabitants of Glasgow . " Mr . Robert Malcolm moved ,, and Mr . George Boss seconded , as an amendment , " That this meeting adopt ths petition emanating from the Scottish Convention . " After a pretty lengthened debate , in which the following individuals took part , Messrs . Prondfood , M'Millin , Watson , Martin , and another f entleman , whosa name I did- not learn , the amendment and motion were put from the elnir , "when the motion was almostunanimously carried . The result "was received with loud cheers . Mr . Ross then gave a full detail of ali the income and expenditure of the Association for the lasi 5 ear , -which showed that , wanting him , the Char : ists of Glasgow would be often pnt to great inconvenience . 1 need hardly say , tha . there was not a man present that did not , from bis heart , lespond to a vote of thanks for the honest and faithful services of Mr . Rdsh . A committee was then appointed to look after the petition , and to take every favourable opportunity of having it as numerously signed as possible . Near to the conclusion Mr . Bobs rose and said , that seeing his amendment was lost , and the National Petition now adopted , he for one would go in "with the majority , and do everything thai lay in his power to make that petition a bumper ; thu 3 setting an example of the pare spirit of democracy , "which it is to be hoped will be followed oat fey every Chartist In consequence of the lateness of the evening it was thought best to a-ijourn the meeting until Tuesday , the loth current , for the purpose of electing the members of the new directory . Let the men ef Glasgow be then at their post , that none may be put to the helm who are not fully ia their confidence . A vote of thwufr * to Mr . Brownlee , fee chairman , closed the business , and the meeting dissslve 4-[ The above notice was sent with a particular request { or its insertion in last Saturday ' s Star . It was not inserted for this simple reasor—we did not get it Sill Priiiay morning—twelve boors after our" Glasgow papers "were in the post-cflije . Ed . ] HA 1 SHAWMOOR , ( KEA . B . Boltos . \—Pursuant to noaca given at a late Corn law meeting , held in this village , a meeting was convened on Priday , the 11 th instant , to take into consideration tie propriety of establishing a Chaitist Association . The meeting was held in Barns' Seminary , a room capable of holding more t >>* -n five hundred people , and was it U 3 ely crowded , great numbers being obliged to go away ¦ who could not gain admission . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Joseph Wood , a working man , "W 3 S called to the chair by acclamation , who , in very eloquent terms , opened the business of the meeting , by detailing the object for "which it was convened , and . concluded by calling upon Hr . Parkinson , of Boltcn , to move the first resolution , ¦ which was— " That it is the opinion of this meeting
that the agitation now going on in this country by those persons calling themselves Corn Liw Repealers , is an agitation based upon error , inasmuch as the Corn Laws are but a part ol the evils , which have arisen from class legislation ; ? e , therefore , pledge ourselves to agitato fer nothing short of the principles contained in the People's Charter , namely , Universal Suffrage , Ytts by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation , No property Qualification , and payment of Members to Eerve in Parliament" Mr . Rankin , of Manchester , in a speech replete ¦ with argument exposed the fallacies of the Corn law humbug . He made some very ttdngent remarks ss to the capabilities of the land , the evils of machinery and the miseries of the people under the present
vicious system . He concluded by seconding the resolution . Mr . P . M- Bropby , of Dublin , next addressed the meeting on the evils of class legislation and the disunion of the working classes . He cancluded by moving the following resolution . " That it is the opinion of this mteting , that an association should be immediately formed in Halsbawmoor , founded upon the foregoing resolution , to aid our brethren throughout Great Britain xai Ireland , to obtain by legal and constitutional means , those rights which class legislation has so long withheld , and which it is onr opinion cannot be obtained , until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . " 5 Ir . Pickering in a short but effective speech , supported Mr . Peter M . Brophy ' s motion . Tha thanks bf the meeting was given by acclamation to ileasr . 3 . Barnes , for giving the use of their School to the people . A vote of thanks to the Chairman was moved by Mr . Parkinson , Thomas Barns ,
Esq . rose to second it , and was received by the meeting With deafening cheers ; he said with some little exception , he a ; ree ? l with all that had fallen from the speakers " who had addressed them that evening ; he was for the whole of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter ; he was convinced that if there was to be exceptions to the giving of the Suffrage on account of the ignorance of the people , that that exception would extend , in a great measure , to the aristocracy and great numbers of those who bow held the franchise - he congratulated the workingmen of Hallshaw Moor upon the manner they had conducted themselves that evening , and he felt confident that nothing short of ^ the principles of the Charter could effectually ameliorate the condition of the whole pe « ple ; he concluded by seconding the vote of t >»« " >« to the Chairman . The meeting then separated , after giving three hearty cheers forthe People ' s Charter .
ROCBSAIiE . —On Saturday evening last , an out door meeting was held in tbe Butts , which hid bten called by requisition , to take into consideration the Ministerial plan on the Corn law question , and placing the suffrage on the broad principle of justice to all . At tlie honr appointed , Mr . James Laech , constable , was called on to preside , who briefly opaned the proceedings and introduced Mr . Barton to more the first resolution , "which denounced Petl ' s plan as an insult to a perishing peop ' e , and concluded by submittingnoremeay whatever to tr » e meeting , by which the people might redress their wrongs . The speaker was particularly cautious not to mention any of the evil deedB of the Whics throughout bis speech . 2 Jt Thomas Livesey seconded the resolution , wiiick on being put , very few hands were held up . tbe people calling loudly for a remedy for the evils Which had been stated to exist Mr . John Leach then
rose to propose a remedy , not only for the Corn Laws but all other bad laws which disgraced the statute book . Ee entered into the question vf machinery and taxation , and proved to a majority of the nu-eting , that the mere repeal of t ^ e Corn Laws would not be a balm for their every wound , as it is staled by the Lsagua , tsd moved the following resolution to the lueetina : — " That while this metti 3 g consider the Ministerial Pian Of Peel on the Corn Law question is an insult t » th * people ; they are further of opinion there are other bad laws "which ought immediately to be effaced from the statute book , and consider the only remedy , the enacting of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , tbe law of this country- " Mr . Thomas Chad wick manufacturer , seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Three cheers wer ? given for FeaTgus O'Connor and the Northern Siar , and the meeting broke up .

The meeting or lecture was announced for seven o'clock . At twenty minutes to tight he made his entry to an excited audience , composed of men of all grades and opinions , not a few of whom "were " noisy Chartists , " *• demagogues , " " rebels , " " plunderers , " and " despicable factions , " some of tbe gentlemanly terms used by the mild and mealy-mouthed Doctor of Plymouth ' s " free trade ( but not language * clique . He was asked if be would agree to discussion ? He said " Yts . if to the question . " At it be went , and used many Chartist arguments , amid the cries of "He ' s a Chartist , " &i
He proved , to demonstration , clearly , that the Corn Laws were bad and injurious ; but he did not shew the evils arising from tbe over-application of - machinery , nor yet of tbe torments and horrors of a factory hell ! Upon finishing his lecture , be was immediately en fronted by Mr . T . Y . Smith , one of the active Rada of tha " far west" He was proceeding to free discussion , « p- - -u "which tbe - Ghsirman and lecturer started like bai-edbnlls to Jmow-why be dared to mention tae Charier , and this hefors be ever mentioned it , proving tbe lamentaVla prejudice and ienorance of theaiddls classrs , banker * , doctors , and genVrmen ; and all of the ^ rfcll-teced breed roared and wnelped like pups
unfeennelled , and swore that Chartism should not be introduced .

HANIEY , Stmfohshire Potteries . —Mr . Jas . Daffey lectured here in the George and Dragon Boom , on Thursday evening last , to an attentive audience . ABERDEEN . —The Aberdeen Charter Union met last Monday night , Archibald M'Donald-in the chair , who delivered a short address on the state of parties , < fec , Mr . James M'Pherson moved " That a committee of seven persons be appointed to consider the plan of organization adopted by the Con-Tention . Preparations were then made for the reception of O'Brien . It was agreed to have a fruit festival j admission 6 d . Several other matters came before them of little intereft , and the meeting separated .
PORFAH . —The One Movement . —On Monday , the oib , thi inhabitants of this place were convened to confide the adoption of a petition for the Charter , and to arrive at some df cision relative to the late local reports given in the Dundee Chronicle and the conduct of the reporter . Mr . Thomas Syme , vicechairman , presided . The Secretary read at ^ length both the National Petition and that of the Scottish Coavtiition . Mr . D . Callender moved the adoption of the former , which Mr . J . Miller seconded . Some little altercation , followed , and on the Chairman inquiring if any moved for the Convention Petitioa , Mr . A . Yeomon did so , but could find no seconder , even when appeal was made from the chair ; aud the National was carried without « ne solitary hand in
opposition . Mr . T . Davis congratulated the meeting on the sound policy of their choice , briefly commented upon the objections commonly ur ^ ed against the document of their approval , regretted anything and everything tending to promote division or partisanship in the Chartist movement . He c » red little , aa an affair of policy , for the extent of matter contained in the Petition ; it would be satisfactory to him if five millions made the simple declaration of five monosyllable ^— " We are of one mind . " Siill he could not but regard as a master stroke the introduction of so many and si > great evils into a preamble , which , however disagreeable , could
scarcely fail to greet the ears of Honourable Members . A minute of the Chartist Association directing reference of the second question being read , Mr . M'Quattie arose , and stated that he ^ sould not aUow that , by the Cnartist pres 3 , our movement should be thrown in the bac ^ ground to give prominence to Corn Law repeal agitation , without notice . After the discussion in the East Kirk , where Mr . Davies rendered such good service , he could not but reprehend the conduct which so meanly misrepresented the facts of ibe case . The numbers of the Chronicle containing notices of the affair not being at hand , Mr . Davies Eaid he would rather net have meddled
with the matter at all , as it would appear to be personal in it 3 na'ure ; he would , however , just state that the inhabitants of Forfar , after the meeting in the church , wonld be well able to judge of the desert of the Teport in question . He thought the Chartists did themselves credit by disavowing the statements put form in the Dundee Chronicle , many of the friends waited upon him , and very pressingly urged that he would draw up a report to be forwarded by the Secretary , with their instructions . That report was prepared , sent , and delivered to the acting editor , and the one complained of inserted . Let any one who was present read the report in tho Star of tlic following week , and decide on the consistency of the one or the other . The
Secretary wrote for explanation ; the onus was thrown on . the reporter ; and , at a glance , hastily , as must hare been the case , he wrote a temperate , but firm explanation , requesting it mi&ht appear ,. and the notices set aside as personality . If it were so , who made it such ? Having permitted the one , the other was due . Why not give it upon its own merits ? If the reporter acted uiiju .-tly , the manager did no less so . Tne shareholders in Forfar might come to what resolutions they please . Let them , however , consult the' interest' putting the Chronicle in their own pockets , having no other readers . Let not any one go away with the misrepresentation that 1 persuaded you to withdraw support . He did no such thing . Tney nevertheless
would have to see to it , that their cause is not injured at their own expence . Mx . Millet would ^ ggest that the managers be requested to appoint their own reporter , bnt to change the present one . The last resolution of the Manchester delegates , which he would read , convinced him that Adam was bound neck and heils to the repeal agitationto the supplanting of Chartism 1 Mr . M'Quattie then proposed , " Tnat the late reports of the Dundee Chronicle having given so much dissatisfaction , we denounce the reporter , and resolve , if he be continued in that capacity to withdraw our support from the paper . " The announcement that a meeting of shareholders had determined to recommend the retention of Adam as reporter , occasioned the stringency of the proceedings . The above was unanimously passed . Mr . M"Q , uattie would also call
upon the meeting to repudiate tbe personal attack upon Mr . Davies , who had received the usual couutenance aud support ; and which he so truly deserved . Also passed withont contradiction . A committee was appointed to prepare , and forward a report , which , however , though sent , has not appeared Mr . Whittel ' s letter to ministers of the gospel having been introduced , the secretary was ordered to proenre a quantity . Enquiry being made if any intelligence of a visit from Mr . O'Brien had arrived , it was replied to in the negative ; but wa 3 daily expected , letters having been sent both to Glasgow aud Dundee . We earnestly hope Mr . O'Brien will favour U 3 at the earliest opportunity . The failure of the League Conference in the metropolis wil ! invigorate Chartism in Forfar . The whole Bill and nothing less !
ALLOA . —The Pu . GUE Black is the Face . —Tne anti-Corn Law Association or Alloa , held a public meeting , on the evening of the 8 ; b inst ., in the Tabernacle , Alexander Paton , Esq M in tbe chair . Mr . Abram Duncan asked if he would be allowed to take part in the proceedings , being favourable to the abolition of the Corn Laws ; but as his plan for their abolition was different from theirs , though in conformance with the opinions of nine-tenths of those at this meeting , he would , with the permission of the chairman at some subsequent stage of the proceedings move his amendment . The chairman said that if Mr . Duncan was a member of the anti-Corn Law Association of Alloa he would , otherwise he could not be permitted to take any part in the
business of the evening . Mr . Duncan then addressed the meeting at some length , by stating the working men of Alloa , wculd now see who were their real friends and sworn enemies ; they would now see the spirit and intentions of the manufacturers and clergy who were this night to address them ; there was among them a Chartist priest , and he had no hesitation in applying to him words that could not be mistaken—that he was a ^ deceiver and a traitor to his own professed principles ; he , Mr . Duncan , would now retire from ths meeting , in conformity with a rule he had laid down for himself in such cases . Knowing that the working men of Alloa would treat the hypocrites , who had denied him the right to take part in a public meeting
affecting his interests according to their deserts . When Mr . Duncan retired , about three hundred accompanied bim , anxious to have a lecture from him hi the Chartist Hall , when he delivered a lecture upon Corn Law repeal , showing its pernicious tendency without accompanying measures , which the Charter only could earxy . It was then moved and seconded , * ' That as the majority in the Chartist Committee had of late acted very Bupinely in thecanse , and as some of them now openly had gone over to the Corn Law repeal party , a Committee be now elected , men of known principle and tried integrky , to act in unison with the other Associations in the district . " The five following were then nominated : —Messrs . James Douglas , David Thompson ,
John Stewait , Andrew Harrower , and Peter Cowie , who were unanimously ejected . Mr . Duncan then asked if the National Petition had been adopted in Alloa 1 The answer was , No . This was a proof of the traitorous conduct of the Commictee , Mr . Robert Snadden then asked Mx . Duncan which petition he meant ! Mr . Duncan said the petition of the English Executive , as he knew of no other National Petition . It was then agreed that a public meeting should be got up without delay for the adppion -f the National Petition . Mr . James Douglas , C-airtnan of the meeting , gave an address containing a great quantity of statistical information , conceived in powerful language ,-which was well received by the meeting . After a vote of thanks to the
Chairman , this important meeting broke up . We may add that when Mr . Duncan left the meeting of ihe anti-Corn Law Association , its Chairman congra . u-U ' . ed them upon the benefit of the rule they had adopted to allow none to take any part in the proceedings bus such as they could trust , when it was bawJed out , " Can you trust the traitor ? " Several ineffectual attempts were made by one Tough , a Chartist preacher , by ' the Rev . P . M'Doual , a sort of a dim wee light of the Secession Church , and another preacher named Andrew Nichol , who ia well known here , to address the meeting , without success . The Petition was read , and from every corner of the house voices wero crying " put it to the vote , put it to the vote ; ye daurna put it to the vote ; try your strengti . " The Chairman declined , saying the Petition bad been adopted by the Committee , and thai was sufficient . The meeting became clamorous for
the money they had paid at the door , bat some needy brother of the League had ran off . with it . The Chairman and his clerical friends , finding themselves baffled at every point , dissolved the meeting Tnere was then one nnammous shout for Mr . David Harrower to address tho meeting , ( one of the delegates from this quarter to tbe Glasgow Convention . " To this the Chairman gave all the opposition' in his power , but was compelled to give way . Mr . Harr > wer then addressed them in a lengthened speech , lull of facts and statements bearing on the question before them , and ended with a challenge to any of tho Corn Law League , or clergy , to discuss tho question with him . The Chairman asked if aisy one wa- wiilmg to discuss the question with him , several voices crying out , " Jusi ; do it yoursel' , Chairmau . " This he declined for reasons best known to himself . This terminated this rather remarkable meeting .

SHUT FORD , near Banbuky , Oxfordshire—We have bad an association cf Chartists in this vi lage about eight months , and although our principles have been denounced in the church , and contentment is preached in the chapel they are fast gaining ground . Indeed tbe calumnies of one Rev . gentleman of the church establishment , were so exceedingly vile , that we thought it our duty not to let them pass unnoticed , we accordingly , through the medium of tbe Star , respectfully requested him to substantiate the assertions he had made , offering , at the same time , to abandon our agitation if he would prove them to be
correct However , to thii very reasonable request he has not yet dared to reply , although the " ignorance " of the working classes might have promised him an easy victory . So much for the Rev . gentleman ' s desire to rescue us from that hell he so unmercifully consigned us to . But the days of priestcraft are fast passing away , we have learned to think for . ourselves . We hold weekly meetings , and have adopted a memorial to the Queen , praying for a free pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jonas . We have adopted the National Petition , and canvassed Shutford and the neighbouring villages for signatures .
