It appeared from tbe report that the committee had seen scenes of the most painful destitution ; the committee had visited thirty-Bix streets in Spita ; Selds , Bethnal-green , and Mile-end Town . In them were 784 families , comprising about 3 , 436 persons , taking men , women , and children . There were 1 , 025 looms in work , and 638 out of work There were 63 empty houses , lately occupied , in which , on average , were three looms each , which made 1 SS looms moreout of work , and which added to
tbe former , made a total of 847 looms vacated . The committee were told that those looms which were at work were only h * employed . From a general csknlaiion , it is believed that there are between 12 , 000 and 13 , GC 0 looms in the district , half of which ire not in work , wkile the remaining half are working half time , and as each loom employs three iaads , the weaver , warper , and winder , a large portion of the population is necessarily flung ont of employment . The consequence is , that as the great k ** 7 objeci to go in : o the workhouse there are ffiaBv rooms in which two and three families are lmng together . tCries of " That ' s true . " ) Several speakers made statements with a view to prove that distress existed to a great extent in the above localises , and noticed the fact of the inability of masters to employ bo many men as formerly . The report was unanimously adopted .

Eleven o'clock in the forenoon was the hour appointed , they expeccing to act the baby farce undisturbed , think ' ing the working men of JBilston were at that hour doomed to their posts of labour ; but these dusky sons of toil were on the alert , and determined to see justice done . The rain fell in torrents , but the
men would not flinch , although drenched and wet to the skin . The magistrates , clergy , and gentry , kept tbe doors of the office dosed against ( he working men , for the purpose of packing tbe meeting with their own friends ; bat the sons of toil , perceiving their trick , blocked up every door , to prevent them from so doing . At length the doors were opened , when a tremendous rasa was made , in an instant the room was crammed to excess , and they commenced business by the High constable reading the requisition , and proposing the Key . Mr . Fletcher to the chair , which was seconded by Mr . Baldwin , a magistrate , when Mr . Stiran rose and moved as an amendment , that Mr . Cadley , a resident , and working man . do take the chair , which
was seconded by Air . Jaffa ; the amendment was put first , when a forest of hands were raised in behalf of Mr . Cadky . The High Constable then put tbe proposition , when about thirty or forty kid-skin gloves were held up . Air . C . then immediately proceeded to the chair . Mr . Stiran moved the Chartist address to her Majesty . A rev . gentleman then came forward with bis address as an amendment , which was a profusion of artificial nonsense . The chairman then proceeded to put the address and amendment . The rev . gent ' s , address being an amendment , was put first , and about from thirty to
forty kid-skin gloves were held up . Mr . Stnan ' s address was then put to tho meeting , when a forest of hands were shown , and it was carried with shouts of applause . Mr . S . again rose , and moved a resolution that this meeting calls for a blessing for the starving millions , and tkat' poverty , and the fear of want and starvation might be removed from this wretched land .

GLASGOW . —A public meeting of tbe citizens of Glasgow was held in St . Ann ' s Church , on Monday night last , to tike into consideration the propriety of memorializing her Majesty to extend her R'jyal act of clemency for political offenders to Frost , Williams , and Jones . The committee made their appearance shortly after eight o ' clock , -when , upon the motion of Mr . Brown , Mr . James Walker was called to the chair . Mr . Galien moved the first resolution . He complimented the meeting for the promptitude which they had manifested in coming forward on the present occasion , paid a high compliment to the characters of Frost and his copatriots , condemned the villanoua system of espionage which had been employed to entrap thesd worthy men in the meshes of the law , showed the
necessity of urging every legal effort for their final pardon and return to their native homes ; he then sat down by reading the resolution , which was , in effect , that this meeting having learned with pleasure and satisfaction the report thit her Majesty was about to extend her clemency to all political offenders at pre » ent incarcerated , agree to call upon her Majesty to extend her Royal pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones . —This tras seconded in a brief speech by Mr .

Neilston . —At a public meeting ; , held in the house of Mr . Alexander Dunn , on the evening of Thursday , the 2 nd of December , the following resolutions were agreed to : — " The unemployed of the pariah of NeiJston having heard , with regret , the hasty resolution come to by the Committee of Supply , for relieving the wants of the distressed unemployed in the said parish , viz ., 1 That no more supply « h * n be given unless they break stenes by the way side , ' this meeting , taking into consideration tbe advanced state of the season , and the inclemency of the weather , besides the very bad condition ef their clothing , consider that such individuals who have been accustomed to work in a hot temperature , would not be justified by their so doing , as by such conduct the organic laws of their structure might be so infringed as to impede them for life from following after any occupation , and thus becoming a
burden upon society . " " This meeting consider the unemployed of this parish are entitled to the same amount of benefit as the unemployed of Paisley , and therefore are of opinion that should tbe Committee of Supply stiil turn a deaf ear to the solicitations of the distressed , the cons . quencea resulting from such conduct will have a tendency to serious results acctuing therefrom . " These resolutions were laid before the heritors and employers on Monday . The following answer , embodied in a resolution , agreed to unanimously , in the presence of two Rev . Divines of the Church of Scotland , one of them in the receipt of £ 300 per annum , was received;— " That the Committee be instructed to give no aid to any able-bodied individual who refuses to do the work provided for him by tbe Committee , unless he produce a certificate by a surgeon that such work will be injurious to his health .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —In my letter last week , I endeavoured , as well as I was able to point out to you briefly our actual posit' . on . I ara resolved in this letter to explain to the members of the association , tho difficulties the Executive have had to contend against Daring the time of office of the Provisional Executive , every step that could be taken , waa taken by that body to forward the cause . The association Wat merely in a state of formation at the time I waa appointed Secre tary . In February last , there were about eighty localities in the association , there ace now two hundred and eighty-two , so that the inorease has been two hundred and twolocalitfessince . The correspondence now is great , yet on the whole , there is every reason to state that the correspondence is punctually attended to ; nearly 30 , 000 cards have been issued , although the balance
sheet only accounts for 1 , 300 ; tbe reason of this is that several lecturers have had cards , and left them at various places ; but the sub-secretaries have not sent me word how many they have h % d . There is one subject I wiBh to draw the particular attention of the sub-Secretaries and General Geuncil to , namely , the payment for cards ; had the cards issued been promptly paid tor , as well as the regular subscriptions been sent into the Executive , that body might now employ a few useful and talented lecturers , to go into those districts that hitherto may not nave bad an opportunity of hearing the sacred principles of democracy expounded . The Association will perceive that our exertions so far have been all up-hill work , and that from the time the permanent Executive commenced their labours until now , there baa been no remissness on its part to forward the interest * of our
cause . Brethren , had net a few towns stood nobly by us , and assisted us with funds , your Executive would have been in an awkward situation ; indeed , I cannot but make honourable mention of tne following places , namely , Tib-strett , Manchester , Sowerby , Tudmorden , London , Nottingham , Salisbury , Huddersfield , and a few other places . It will be seen by the balance sheet that those places , have nobly performed their duty . Anything and everything may be done if the Gteneral Council are active , energetic men . On them hinge the whole Association .
The progress of our cause is truly astonishing . 1 had yesterday a letter from Kettering , Northamptonshire , stating that the Association was springing into active life , and that at Oudenal , another village , a middle class man had expended £ 1 10 s In petition headings ; and this humane and patriotic individual wishes to Bee the Association formed in the latter place . To-day , I have bad a letter from Redruth , in Cornwall , by Mr . Henry Hancock , formerly of Leeds , sending ten shillings far cards , and stating that Mr . ' Feargus O'Connor or Dr . P . M . M'Douall is only wanted to arouse the whole of the Cornish men to a sense of their duty . And here let me remark that Feargus O'Connor has enrolled near one thousand members during the last ten days , an example well worthy of imitation .
O , that we had but funds to employ fifty good lecturers , to go over the country to preach the glad tidings of Cnartism , what a fruitful harvest might be reaped ! As it is , every post brings fresb news of additional forces to oar fast-increasing number ? . It will be seen that the Executive is to be in Bristol on tbe first Monday in January , 1812 . Let tbe good Chartists of Bristol take steps accordingly . Bath and Trowbridge should do tbe same . Let every effort be made to swell the National Petition to an immense 8 iz > . Let there be no
stone left unturned to accomplis i this mighty project ; let signatures in an upright and maaly manner be sought and obtained ; but let there be no intimidation in tbe case—let it truly be a National Petition—a lasting monument of the struggles of righteousness and justice against fraud , tyranny , and spoliation . I also request that when anything very particular occurs , relating to our principles in any part of tbe country , that the sub-secretary , residing in tbe district , would send me immediate information , and when convenient , forward me the newspaper or periodical where such proceedings are noticed , and also whenever any party attacks the association through the press , an immediate account should be sent to me , in order that I might be enabled to lay the same before the Executive . And when , for the future , any person writes to me , bis address ought to be written in a plain and legible hand . The name of the ttrttt , the number of the house , the name of the town and county , ought to be at tbe head of each letter sent to me .
Let the sub-Secretaries not loose sight of this . Let any information be asked , and I will give it to the best of my ability . In conclusion allow me to state , that the Executive tender their best thanks to those good democrats , all over the country , who have enabled them to prosecute the glorious undertaking the United Chartists of England and Wales have appointed them to watch over . For my own part , I am resvlved to state to you , from time to time , through the medium of the Nortfiern Star , the National Vindicator , and the English Chartist Circular , as correctly aa I can , tbe exact position ef the Democratic party in this country .
In fine , let us fling all petty squabbles to the winds ; let as fce united amongst ourselves ; let us support our own press . Away , away with bickerings and quarreling in onr own ranks . No good can be tione unless we are un tid amongst ourselves . We could break oppression down in one week were we bound together in an adamantine band of real sincerity . Think of O'Connor ' s advice , United we stand , divided we fall . Universal Suffrage and no Surrender . I remain , Brother Chartists , Yours , in the eause of liberty , John Campbell , General Secretary . IS , Adderley-street , Salford .
