MB . O'COS ^ OB AT 01 DHAM . In defiance of Whig and Tory treachery , for both combined and conspired against tie visifcief onr friend , O'Connor visited Oidbam on Friday last , and a * eight o'clock proceeded with Messrs . Holladay and Snort , and a number of other friends , to the Ksbool room of Mr . Quarjnby , which that gentlexnan had kindly siren for the purpose of showing to the peopled enemies , that they ( did not own all the meeting places in Oldhain . The ^ roo ni 3 s ca pable of iolding ironi 1 , 000 to l £ 00 peTsons , hnt on Mr O'Connor ' s arrival , it -was so densely -wedged that * n adjournment was loudly called for and earned , to tire large space atihe back of the Albion Inn ; the nsnslplaee of resort on snch occasions . A hust-Ingwss very speedily procured , and Mr . O'Connor and Mb friends , to the mnnber of several thousands , proceeded to ihe spot ¦ where he had so often- addressed them before . .
Mr . James Holladay -was called to the chair amid general cheering , and " at once introduced Mr . OVonmor , who was received with immense applause He spoke for about an hon * and a half , depicting the present state of the country and the prospect of the several contending parties ; and at the close , af ter administering a Bound c&stigatjon to the parties who refused the people the use of the Ball to meet in , he said— * the next occaaon npon which I shall meet yon , trill heart Tuesday ihe 29 / A at the tea pabtt rs THS Halx V— ( This announcement was followed by most vociferous cheering ; as the people had engaged the Hall for thatuight , and -were not sure that Sir O'CoDBor could attend)— " and the next , io lap ihe foundation stone of your own Ball ; which , when
erected , will make yon independent of the factions . " When Mr . O'Connor had conolnded , Mr . Holladay addressed the meeting at considerable length , and administered a -wholesome castration to the Ballmonopolists . He advised the people to rely Eolely upon their own -exertions , as they would be sure to be sold if they relied npon any other party . The meeting separated between ten and eleven o ' clock , highly delighted Trith the prospect of circumventing lie ^ machinations of their oppressors . "We are making grand prepaxafions here for the reception of O'Connor , on the 29 th ; and , no donbt , those who refnsed the Hall for Mr . O'Connor ' s lectnres will
see thfi effect of their tyranny in the enthusiasm of the coning demonstration . They hare done for themsebres here I I should mention that Mr . O'Connor paid a just and handsome tribute , to ihe conduct of our two excellent representatives , Messrs . JieldHi and Johnson ; the latter of "whom the dodgers are endeavouring to persuade to retire , to make way fora ? et . Should they succeed , howeTer , -which "we much doubt , we will -pit OUB PET against the pet of the League ; and try strength with the -onitedfactions . The Oldhain men hare resolved to keep their only privilege ;—* ha& of having a say in ihe nomination of the candidates for representation . The refusal of the Hall has done us
more good than we could hare calculated on ; asd it is likely that had the vote to be taken again , it would not be " no "

NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kydd lectured ia the Chartists H » ll , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening , en " The present state of thinga . " He aaid that the present state of Britain evinces the greatest possible weakness oa the part of the Government Partial outbreaks areproefspoBitive of the disrpapeot of the people to the ruling powers . No workman ever refuses to obey the jast demands of a just master . No natien refuses to obey the mandate s of a just Government ; but in Britain we have nothing but revolts—the employed agaittst the employer—the people again 8 t the National Executive . We have Kebeeca in Wales , laughing to scorn the hired assassins of monarchial power . The men of Ashtpn standing out against a reduction of wages , and endeavouring to conquer the curse of suffering man— " the power of gold . " The G / veraintnt are
aware that it can only maintain its unjuat power by the indiscretion , ignorance , and folly of the governed : and as the Charter la the only bugbear feared by political usurpers of ail grades , the middle-class press of Eorland is using Us influence to catch the Chartists in a snare . The Liberal (? J portion of that press is teeming with inflammatory leading articles against the present Government , and expressing affected sympathy with those who are in arms against that Government . In the Weekly Dispatch , there lately appeared an article , headed " History au& Politics , " in which the writer states that the Rebecca Movement Is a very favourable opportunity for the Eoglisn Chartists to spread their principles in Wales . In last week's Dispatch , iu a short article prefacing the state of the funds , it is plainly stated that the Ashton strike iB a Chartist
movement , and has caused a depression in the price of Saras . What ia the object aimed at by this policy ? Why , it ia designed to damn the Obarter and place the Free Traders m power . Then , hucrah for fortunes and agricultural depression ! No men are more to be Ruarded against than those who assume the guise of Liberalism , without wearing the real garb . The Chartists must watcb these parties , and join no body advocating a mere sectional reform . The press , pursuing the policy to which he ( Mr . Kydd ) alluded , hope by such means to gain their darling oljcct ; first , to make the present Ministry unpopular ; second , to ruin us as a party . Bat he trusted in ftod that the Ch irtint 3 would teach them thoir mistake , by standing t-ue to the Charter . Men will yet learn , by experience , that strikes will not accomplish their object ; and the
" workies" will shortly discover that " Rdbtcca's " Charter embodies no principle of social right It is a middle-class movement ; and will do nothing for the labourer . Suppose turnpike gates wero annihilated to-morrow , and tents reduced , who will reap the benefit ? The : farmers—those who rent the land , and have the horses I not those who till the soil , and drive the horses . Ah a body , the Chartists will benefit by the present confusion pervading among all classes of society . The nostrums of sectional reformer ' s will shortly be exploded . The disappointed and disaffected labourer will find a home for his wounded feelings , and a cure for the national malady , in the People ' s Chatter . Let us , therefore , watch our movement in its every stage ; benefit by pnst experience , lay selfishness , malignity , and prejudice on the altar of eur country , and prove to the world that our virtues merit their
reward . The Chaiitists of'Newcastle held their weekly business meeting , in their Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Monday evening , Mr . Thomas Robson in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting were rend and confirmed . The suggestions of the Chartists of Lsith were next read from the Stai \ : when a resolution was agreed to concurring with their suggestion of holding the forthcoming Conference in Edinburgh , in preference to Birmingham : it being , in the opinion of the Chartists of Newcastle , a much more convenient place for the majority of the Chartists of G / eat Britain , and attended withttnuch less expencea to ! the majority than if held at Birmingham , A vote of thanks was tendered to the men of Morley , for their kindness ia contributing to the necessities of that much-neglected Chartist , John Cickbuin . Arrangements were then made for the Teception of Mr . Hill , and some local business transacted , and the meeting adjourned till next Monday
evening . BIRMINGHAM . —This town seems again to be taking that proud position in Chartism that it formerly bad ; ' for during the last few weeks the greatest enthusiasm has been manifested by the working men . Since it ha 9 been intimated that Mr . T . Attwood was again to commence another agitation , mush anxiety has beeu manifested to learn the principles upon which that gentleman means to ground his exertions ; and meetings , both of 1 &e ifiiddle and working classes , have been almost of nightly occurrence : th / se of the working mpn declaring that they will support him for nothing short of the People ' s Charter . An artdr . ssto Mr . Ativ'ood was passed at a laree public meeting , as reported iu the Star , but the tinninyhum Jour ? ial
refused to insert it ! N . * w , working men , who ar « your real friends , and who are not ? The old Whig rump of the . Birmingham Political Council have boMen their meetings in small and obscure rooms ; and have had for their object the Kitting up of a requisition calling upon Mr . Attwuod to come cut , mi rely to get up an agitation to " dismiss the presnnt Ministry ; and to reinstate thft Whigs again in office . " 1 !! Whilst the mere tsols . of fiction are thus busily engaged , the Chartists are not idle . On Sunday morning lost , Mr . Mason held a more numerous meeting at Duddcston Row than on any former occasion during the summer , in spite of the interference of the police on the Sunday
previous . He also delivered a most eloquent lecture , on Tuesday evening , in the Hall of Science , on " The rise and f « ll ef the Grecian Empire , " which was received with the greatest satisfaction , imaginable . The chairman announced that there would be a public meeting on that night week , to elect delegates to the National Conference ; and likewise that the council were making preparation ? for holding a public meeting on the day the Conference assembled ., and were arranging for a tea-party and ball on September 5 th , in honour of T . S .. Duncombe , Esq , M . P . Fe&rgus O Connor , J . T . Leader , M . P ., W . S . Crawford , M . P ., W . Williams , M . P ., and John Fielding , M . P .
¦ Astojj-Stkeet . —At a meeting of the Committee for the rtlief of Mr . George White , on Sunday last , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That this Coinmittee acknowledge , with pieusuro and gratitude , the invaluable assistance rendered to their imprisoned friend by the Chartists of Lou on , and which has enabled him hitherto to avail hisnaclf of the privileges . attending his confinement , and without which assistance they regret to say , Mr . White would have been placed in a more disagreeable position than if he bad been confined in the common gaol of this county ; the district in iwhich he has laboured so assiduously not having contributed one-third of the means necessary for his support . "
Ok Sunday owning last , Mr . Wm . Chilton delghted his hearers at the Chartist Room , in Aston-street . With a lecture on Free Trade . He exposed . the unti-Covn I . vw League and tb ^ ir Free Trade hum hug in & 001 I e ; yle . and exhorted his hearers to stick to thf Charter ; for that was the only means to remove their country from ruin . After the lecture , letters wero rtitd from Mr . White on the Organization , and the forthcoming National Delegate Meeting , which gave great satisfaction to all present . KOTTINGSJAIVI . —A requisition having been prts-cnted to the Mayor to call a jublic meeting on Monday , to eltct a delegate to the forthcoming Conference , ( which he declined acoeeiiinK to , but granted ihe use of the Town Hall ) , a crowded meeting look place at one o ' clock , with Mr . James Sm-et in
the cbair ; and Mr . It . T . Morrison waa chosen an a pereon well qualified to serve as a * -delegate in the Conference to be holden at Birmingham on the 5 ch of September next . It being the first anniversary of the " Battle of Mapperley Hills , " a vast number of people assembled in front of the Town , Hall with fla » s and music , waiting the conclusion of the above meeting , when they tproceeded to the " battle field . " Mr . Jonathan Barber was called to the chair . The assembled throng were addressed by Messrs . Harrison , Domain , 'Morrison , Lilly , and Doyle . Some of the ladies took tea , while others wero engaged in playing various games , and dancing , till about * even o ' clock ; when a great nutnbor proceeded to the Riot Place Chapel , to . hear an animated address delivered by Mr .

REPEAL MEETING jAT RO 3 COMMON . Rosommon , Sunda y Night , — This " demonstration , " which took place to-day , was distinguibhed by a sort of tremor which preceded it , occasioned by some of the landed proprietors in the county having issued directions that ! none of their tenantry or labourers should attend ! the meetiog . Among these , Mr . Kelly , of Castle Kelly , issued orders which were not to be mistaken ; t 6 counteract which , the people of the near part of the county of Galway who proposed to axteud , intimated , it is said , their intention , on passing Castle Kelly , to bring Mr . Kelly's tenantry with them to ih « meeting . Mr . K ^ lly , we understand , communicated with Government on the
subject , and obtained the aid of half a troop of the 4 tb Dragoon Guards , who jwere quartered at the Castle , and of a company of ] the 46 ch Infantry , and a force of poiico who were stationed at the adjoining village of Ballygar . At seven o ' clock this morning , we were informed , the tenantry were brought withm the walis of the demesne , the ] avenues to which were guarded by the miiitiry and police . Tne agent of Lord Crofton , at Moote Park ' , we understand , issued similar orders , hue did not ' take similar measures . A party of the 4 th Dragoon ] Guards arrived ia tho town of Rosconiujon yesterday f > r Longford , and the police of th « purrounding Btations were concentrated in the town . This forte was uader the
direction of Mr . Oonsly , stipendiary magistrate , and Edmund Can , K-q . of Durham , J . P-, whose father and brother eaelv attended tup meeving and proposed resolutions . j At an early hour in the morning , the surrounding districts presented those s-cfiu&s incident to theeo collections of large masses of ] the people . Parties arrived , most of them wiih bands , aud banners , from Athlono , Longford , Boyle , Strjokestown , Castlereagh , E / fin , Carrick , and the adjoining county of Galway . They proceeded to meet Mr . jO'Conueli in tho direction of South Park , the seat of Nicholas Balfe , Ef q ,
M . P .,. whfre ne has been staying for the last two days . Tho meeting waa convbued on the Furlough , a large field , about a mile on the opposite sido of the town , and within a short distance of tho barrack . A number of tents and ma , rquee 3 were erected on the ground , which ga . ve it more the appearance of a fair or race- ^ rouiut than a spot appointed for a political meeting / - It was half papt three o ' clock before Mr . O'Cotuiell arrived , and the number who accompanied hi / n iu the procession and were present on tbo fiald were fully as great as those 86 auy pre vious mrpting in the province . )
The Very He-prr-nrl Dr . Madden proposed that thpy ehoulucomuKiicn nn-ir prMkediiifis by giving three cheers for ihu Q , i- ^ en , I wh : ch w « re given accordingly . Re 1 h < n proposed as Chairman a gentleman who not many yeir « ago waa the oldest nias
Dr . Burke , on beiog nominated secretary , said when he brought the requisition to Mr . O'Counell , he had promised him au assembUge of 500 , 000 per sons in Rosooramun , and he now atked had he not kept his promise ? i Mr . O'Conneil—Certainly ' and a tilley over—( cheers ) . j The Hon . T . Ffrench proposed a resolution , that after forty-three years of experience of Saxon legislation , they had no hope of remedying the grievances of Ireland but by a Repeal oft the Union , aud they were determined to persist iu their effovia until that all-important object was tff cted . Mr . Henry Carr , of Durham ^ seconded the resolution , which was agreed to . I
Mr . O'Conaeli , wheu the cheering subsided , called on them to rejoice in wril-rounded hope and confident expeeUuiou— to rejoice j in the spirit of patriotism that , their country waa to become a nation again—to rejoice that the day-star of liberty was in

the horizon , and that the full noon of freedom should beam around thejr native Jand : for the day , the hour , was fast coming , believe him , who nrver told < "" \ them a lie , their country should be a nation again—( cheers ) . The hour of the restoration of their native Parliament was at hand —( renewed cheering ) —and that was what he never would cease to work ' " . . for till he got it—and the oldest among them , and few pf them were older than himself—should live to hear of the Parliament iu College Green —( cheers ) . That period was approaching : for every symptom surrounding them , every appearance , every re-lay ,
denoted that the restoration of the Irish Parliament was not remote . They had only to look arouad them , and review by-gone circumstances and passing events , to be convinced of the speedy restoration of the Irish Parliament . First they had Father Mathew—( hear , and cheers ) . He put him ( onh with the glorious teetotallers and the temperance , the finest erfu ' genee of human virtues— ( cheers ) . Had he any teetotallers there ? ( " Yes , plenty . " ) Ho was glad of it , for he wished to teli thi m that bo had mxde a rule that no man who broke hi 3 pledge should be allowed to be a Rspealer . He wou : d place the teetotallers in the first rank of the Repealers . Napoleou boasted of his body-guardhis Imperial Guard—he hoa- ^ d of a guard of Chris-< !
tian teetotallers . He adduced the fact as a precursor to Irish liberty , that they had five millions of pledged teetotallers—for that mighty moral miraiJe had nor emanated tioai the hands of the Almigfcry for nothing ( cheers ) . It was it that gave them all the security they had in their present movement . H-jff could he have assembled such masses—how could he have brought a million and a half of people together , if ho were not backed by the teetotalierb 1 They were the first preservers of the lfoerty of Ireland , and it was for that Father Mathsw was sent . The triuh was that the Iriah were too good to ba - kept in slavery any longer . Toey could not be kept in slavery . They were tunpcrate . Mun who drank wi ^ ht exhibit courage in
the first flash of momentary excitement ; but give him in the front of the conflict iha teetotaller ; and were it necessary for him to goto battle , h _ 6 would no there with the steady teetotallers ( cheers)—with their wives and sisters , thanking God for their , virtuous abstinence , aud praying fyr their success ; and with the teetotal bands play . ng before them—( oKeers ) ' he could tell them that , there was fiot an army in tho world to match with his teetotallers—( cheers ) . Temperance was the corner-stone 6 $ Irish liberty . It was the first proof that thoy were sweeping away filthy Saxon domination . The second great proof of the success of Repeal was to be found in their owa conduct . They had placed their enemies in the wrong , and had kept themselves in the
right . In the Precursor Society every effort was made to obtain jusi ice for Ireland . He defied any man to deny that grievances exis-ted . He had called for the relief of those grievances , and they even had offered to give up Repeal if they got good government for Ireland . The efftjr was treated with scorn , aud he raised the standard of Repeal because the English Parliament would not do jusc-ce to Ireland . He made the experiment . They were refused , aud he would make the bargain no more , for from that hour forward there waa nothing but the Repeal for Ireland—( cheers ) . Their enemies bad resorted to abuse . They vilified the people and the clergy of Ireland . One of the first of their newspapers ca . Ued tho venerated clergy of tin * majority of the people of
Ireland . " surpliced ruffians , " " a demon priesthood , " and designated the people of Ireland " a filthy and felonious rabble . " Ho knew tho effect of it upon the Irish people . Ho wished there were as many Englishmen before them a < there wre Irishmen present , and that they dared to use ttnt language . If they did not b' ^ K pardon before they went home there wisnouse in logic at all— ( cheers and laughter ) . The result of tho abnso wa « , that jt , to . Je tho Irish people more ready to join him than they were before in driving off the Saxon yoko , and giving Ireland to the Irish —( hear , and cheer .- ) . H'j told them that he would keep within the conatition , that there should be noat ' . ack made upon them ; but he defied them to attack the people . Heasktd
if there was one man there would not fight if ho WiTc attack-d ( cheers and cries of " there is not ')! There was music in that shout , and a pretty tune it was . Now that shout was exacity what he told them . Ho translated it into English for them , and sent it back to Peel and Wellington with Iub compliments ( cheers and laughter ) . What was the cons ; q ience They said they had no notion of fighting . He laughed , aad the people- of Ireland could laugh at them too . What did they propose to do ? Nothing . Tney hoped , indeed , that tbo efforts of Ireland would pass away . In tho first place they said O'Conneil was old , and would soon die ( laughter ) . Heaven help them ! He waa young enough for the best of them yet Uaiighter and cheers ) . But heaven forbid
that Ireland had not many sons as true as he , aad as deserving of her confidence ( no , no)—and if it wa 3 his- fate to be placed beneath the cold stone to-inorrow , and to ba called to his judgement , oh , Ireland would be free still ( cheers )! Tija effecting of her liberty did not depend on " one man , but if it did depend upon one man ' a exertions , here wa 3 the man who would do it —( loud cheers ) . Their enemies had another plan . The priests , whom they abused , they intended now to bribe . Oh ! what a chuncd there was of striking their priests ! Formerly , the same price was sen on the head of a priest as on that of a wolf , £ 5 ; and although there were in thosie days gentlemen vrt io were priest-eatcherp , not one betrayed the pri ^ t . The people and the priests
were true to each other iu former days of suffering ; they would still be faithful to each other ; and ho would let their ent rates bribe , the priests if they cou'd . Their opponents had another trick . They calculated that the people of Ireland would be tired of looking for Hborfcy . Ho would promise the Minister that they would not tire . Before the expiration of tho week he would pnblish bis plan for the restoration of tho Irish Parliament . They of course , acknowledged Victoria as their Queen , God bless her , and tfrey would maintain all her prerogatives . The Irish House of Lords would be acknowledged with
all its privileges , and they would insist upon , the Irish House of Commons having the number of thn a hundred members . He would submit to the public thenunjber of counties , and towns which should hav-s representatives in the Irish Parliament . The machinery of his plan for proceeding for the Repeal would be laid before the people , and he had no doubt they would seriously read it . Their success was a't hand . He read iu the signs of tho times and in the actions of men that the hour was come when Ireland . should have her own Parliament , aud when her virtuous , faithfu ) , and religious people would ba free , prosperous , and happy—( loud cheers ) .
Mr . Dillon , barrister , proposed a vote of thanks to the Roman Catholic clergy ; after which the Honourable Mr . Ffrench having been proposed to the chair , thanks wero given to the previous chairman , aad tho > meoting dispersed in an orderly manner .
THE DINNER took place in a pavilion erected in the old markethouse . About 500 persons sat down . Mr . French , who presided at the proceedings of the day , was the chairman . After the cloth was drawn letters of apoloey were read from the Rev . Dr . M'Halo , Dr . Brown , R . C , « i ? hor > of ( ialway ; Dr . -Cantwell , Bishop of Meath , &o ., &z . ' The usual loyal toasts having been given , Ttie Chaibm ^ n gave " O'Coaaell and the Rspaal " —( loud cheer-i ) . Mr . O'Conneix , in responding to the toast , sa d that they had really takun him by surprise by the extent of their arrangem nts * nd the magnificence
of their demonstration that any . Tne scene or today had struck their enemies with terror , and was to their friends an oshiliaratiug assurance of success —( cheers ) . He would return to Dublin in triumph , and leave their pitiful little landlords to devisa their djrty Jif . tle schemes—( cries of " Cattle Kelly ') . Did thoy miss him ? No ! and by the course of the person alluded to had taken , perhaps he had seen more honest , faces around him that , day than he was accustomed to—( cheers ) . He ( Mr . O'Conneil ) intended to propose to them a resolution that day , agreeing to petition for the abrogation of the thing callel a Catnolic oath . If the meeiiag had been a smaller one , and his mind had not been so taken up , he would have dono so , but ha promised them
that he would let no other meeting pass witnous proposing a petition to abolish that oath —( cheers ) . For it waa without examp ' o , and it was not to ba endured that scoundrels and hypocrites should insult them , and that they should be taunted and insulted fvery other day by Broughams and Beau mo nts . ( Cheers ) . He never wculd have consented to any arrangement ; including that oath , if he-did not conceive that they would have put the same construction upon it as they did upon the coronation oath . Nothing but tho most pn-juiiiced malignity could have dared M attach the imputation of perjury to a body of Christians who were not emancipated for years , because they would not consent 10 perjure themselves . ( Hear , hear ) . Than be subject to such
in uits , they ought rather not take the oath any wove , and fling the Emancipation in their teeth ; for that which he had wrung from them before , he could get from them a second time . ( Loud cheering ) . As to the wretch Beaumont , they had heard of Kib conduct 10 a lady at Florence , and he ( Mr . O'Conneil ) felt that he was degrading himself in not treating him with contempt ' and scorn . The other wretch , Brougham , was the most degraded of human beings . What . would he who talked of perjury , not do to procure for himself place and promotion . ( Hear , hear ) . He was a man of great talent , considerable power of rhetoric , but he degraded it to a civil bill attorney sort of eloquence . His present position reminded one of the cautionary lines of the poet , which he would adapt to
him" If-parts allure thee , thinfc how Brougham shined , The brightest , maddest , meanest of mankind . " ( Cheers ) . The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then called on them to rally round him , to be conciliatory aud firm , aud Ireland should belong to the Irish . After several other toasts the company separated . In the course of the erenmgJtae ^ lCig&jmms money were ooileottd . $ & ' " * « & ¥$ \ ¦ , od ,-ts the company separated , 1 bscmnagniff ^ jUs ^^ nma ^ fe ^^ v

BRIGHTON—Cap of Libkktt—Council meeting Augnsi 21 , Mr . Page m the chair . Proposed by Mr . Rest , seconded by Mr . Allen—* That the thanks of this meeting be and are hereby given to tbo Rev . Mr . Hill , for bis past services ; and we trnst that we shall still continue to receive the benefit of his advice and assistance on behalf of the suffering millions , "Carried unanimously . BRISTOL . —United Chabtists . —On Monday evening , at the usual weekly members' meeting , the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — Proposed by Mr . Clifton , seconded by Mr . Clarke , " That the Birmingham Council be requested to publish , in nest week' s Siar , the name and address of somB person in whom they have confidence , to
receive auy communicationb that persons throughout the country may feel inclined to send for the assistance of the Conference in their deliberations . " Moved by Mr . H . Miles , seconded by Mr , Jacobs , " That it is the opinion of this locality , that the public acts of every public man are public property , and therefore open to the animadversions and comments of any other person : that the Executive of the National Charter Association were public men , and officers of a public body ; that it was tbe right of any person to pnblish his objections , or set forth publiciy any faults that he thought existed in their published doenments ? that it was the duly of Mr . Hill , as editor of the Northern Star , to draw the attention of the Chartists to any faahs he had detected in those doenments : and that it was tbe duty of the
Executive to haTe crrfly replied to his gentlemanly expressed opinions thereon , and fully and fairly to have explained the faults in their docnmenis complained of , instead of attempting to get over them by counter accusation . That when we hear of members of the late Executive having funds raised expressly for them , whilst snch victims as Railton , and Leach , of Hyde , justly complain of their needs being neglect *^ ; under which circumstances , knowing our own feelings , ire can make allowance for the warm expressions of Mr . HilJ on ihat occasion , and think proper allowance should be made by all personB : and further , considering tbe cars and watchfulness of Mr . Hill for the Charter Association ; bis longtried , ardent , and talented services , we cannot help but lament his removal from the Editorship of tbe Northern Star *
Thb Bbistcl YotWG Mbs ' s Assocunojc held a second camp meeting on Brandon Hill on Sunday afternoon last , at half-past six o ' clock , when Mr . Gawler opened the proceedings by leading off that beautiful hymn , beginning " Assembled * neatb the broad bine sky ;*' which was sung excellently well . He also read the 23 rd chapter of the Gospel according to St . Matthew ; ai tbe conclusion of which he called on Mr . Cowles to address the meeting . Mr . Cowles , in an eloqnent speeeh , demonstrated that Cflartism was based on Christianity ; that it was only by making the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter the law of the land ; that the condition of the people could beimpreved ; and in an energetic manner urged oa the audience the necessity of union and perseverance in the
attainment of that great object . Here the speaker was interrupted by a young man , who was told that if be had any qnestiens to ask , they should be answered by the speaker . Discussion was not his purpose ; bm to create disturbance to as to enable the police to interfere . Finding that he was invited to discuss , he retired behind the speaker , and succeeded in preventing Mr . Cowles from beinc heard . At this momenLjihe inspector of police , accompanied by some of the "force" arrived , and hurried the young gentleman off the hill , and informed Mr . Cowles that he hadreceiveivtd instructions from the magistrates to disperse all Eucb meetings . In consequence of this , the meeting adjourned to Bcarls £ e ChapeL On arri-ring there , Mr . Cowles
re-| sumed his address , and urged upon the meeting the great necessity of beiDg united to resist such tyranny as had just been extrcieed towards them . Mr . Noble next addressed the meeting , and in a neat speech , showed the disadvantages of a State Chnrch . He also energetically advised the meeting not to submit to such tyranny as they had that day seen exhibited ; tyranny which had not even been exercised towards tbe early Christians by the tyrannical priests of Jndea ; for they allowed tha disciples to preach their new doctrines even in the synagogue . Mr . Barton next addressed the meeting , and in his nsnal clear and powerful manner contended for the right of free expression of opinion ; reprobating the conduct of the police in interfering vriih that right
K was then announced that a Committee , consisting of Messrs . Simeon , Cowles , and Barton , bad ieen formed , for tbe pnrpose of remonstrating with the magistrates for their violation of the ** right of the subject , " in preventing the people from meeting on Brandos Hill , and to f sbmit to their consideration tbe opinioDii of Judges Tindal , Rolfe , and Alderson , published in the Star a few months since ; that another meeting woald be held in Bear Lane Chapel , Temple-street , on next Sunday evening , at half-past six o'clock ; and on Wednesday , the discussion would be resumed on the question— Ought we , aB Chartists , to support a Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland V The meeting then sung , in beautiful style , the hymn
beginning" Men of England J ye are alavea . " Thus terminated one of the most important meetings thaj has been beld in Bristol for some rime . The conduct of the youths on this occasion has given general satisfaction , and they have expressed their determination to know from the magistrates the reasons why they have deprived them of the right of meeting on Brandon Hill-HAWICK . —Mr . Gamm&ge , from Northampton , lectured here in the Market-place , on the evenings of Thursday , Friday , and Saturday last , to numerous audiences , and Clearly demensirated that tbe only effectual remedy for the present degraded and alarming state of the productive classes , waa the adoption of the People ' s € hart er . Mr . G . gave general satisfaction .
HLAHCHESTSB . —Carpenters' mia .. —On Sunday evening la ^ t , tbe above Hall was crowded in every pait by at highly respectable audience , to hear an address irom Mr . Peddie , of Edinburgh . Mr . Sutton occupied the chair ; and after a hymn had been sung by the choir , and the leading article in last Saturday's Star read , Mr . Peddie was introduced to the meeting . HiB address occupied upwards of two hours in the delivery . Upwards of twenty persons joined the Association . WARWICK . —The Chartists of Leamington and Warwick held a very interesting meeting on the 20 ib inst ., and arranged to hold & public meeting at the Saracen ' s Head , on Tuesday , the 29 th instant , to elect a delegate to the Conference , Having disposed
of other business matter , the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : — " That we beg to remind the proprietor of the Northern Star of the reiterated promise made by the Editor to furnish the Chartist pnblic with a prospectus or plan ; of Organization , embracing "The laud question , ' and that our anxious desire to promote Mr . O'Connor ' s views on that subject , and to furnish our delegates with instructions ref-pecting the principles and details leads ns to hope that the promise alluded to will be fulfilled pre-vions to the 5 th of September , as the publication of a well-defined prospectus with sound data , and practical details would afford every locality a very necessary opportunity to give
instructions to their delegates . " ** That while , with some degree of pain we advert to tbe affair of Mr . Cleave respecting the Yictim Fund , ' we deem it our dnty to state that we should regard it as a bad precedent , were he prematnrely to relinquish the post which he has hitherto so honourably filled , or ; to giTe np the funds entrusfxi to his care , upon any aathority less than the order of a Convention : or Conference similarly constituted to that from which he received the appointment ; yet as we vtry highly appreciate the services of the Manchester Committfce , and earnestly desire to see a cordial feeling txistiug bet-ween all parties , we trust that tbtir draft ? in favour of any of the political victims will be dn : v honoured by Mr . Oeave .

Dewbbory—West Riding Delegate Meetisg—On Sunday last a meeting of delegates for the Wesj Riding , was holden in the Chartist Room , Dewsbury , for the special purpose of fixing upon two persons to represent ; the West Riding in the forthcoming Conference , to be holden at Birmingham , on the 5 i of September . Delegates were present from Todmorden , Hcbden Bridge , Huddersfield , Bradford , Barnsley , Dewsbury and Birstal . Mr . Johnstone , Hebden Bridge , in the chair . The correspondence relative-to the ; call made for the different localities to join in eendiug two delegates for the whole West Riding , was read , when it appeared that Leeds and Sheffield were the only two places that dissented from the plan ; as they were the only places that wrote to that effect . The question waB then
discussed , and it was finally settled that in consequence of the whole of the Riding not agreeing , and to prevent disputes arising , the delegates should be considered representatives of the various localities here named—Todmorden , Htbden Bridge , Bradford , BiDgley , Keighley , Barnsley , Dewsbury , Birstal and Huddersfield . Five gentlemen were then placed in nomJDaiioD and the votes of the delegates taken , when Mr . Wm . Smith , of Bradford , and Mr . J . H . Dewhurst , of Ddwsbury , were chosen as the party to be placed in nomination for election at a public meeting . It was then resolved that a public meeting Bhould be holden in the Market Place , Dewsbury , on Monday the 28 h inst ., for the eleotion . After other business relative to money matters , &cr ., the meeting broke up ;
The Nohth Lancashire Delegate Meeting took pJace at Mr . W . ^ Beesley's , and tben by adjournment at the Greyhound inn , on Sunday , 20 th inst . Present , delegate * from Padibam , Burnley , Gome , CJitberoe , Blackburn , Accringfcon , Bicup , and Sabden ; Prfcstou by letter . The Burnley and Pmlibam delegates expressed themselves much dissatisfied with tbe business of the preceding Sunday , and said that their constituencies ¦ would not abide by it . The ClHheroe delegate replied , that the minority waa bound by the majority at that meetii g ; consequently the proceedings were lasting and Wading . The Baraley delegate aaid that if Mr . Marsden went to tbe Conference be would not represent the opinions of one of their members ; and if they persisted in sending him , Padihatn and Burnley would send Mr .
Bairstow on their own responsibility . Tbe -whole of the delegates -were of -opinion that it would be establishing a dangerous precedttit to reeal their acts ; and gave is as their conviction that they had performed that part which they thought would effect the greatest good to the greatest nnmbsr . The Burntey delegate then said , they -and Partjbam would send Mr . Bairstow . Each delegate trusted that no ill feeling existed ; tfeat it was a difference of opinion only . After a mutual expression of determination to co-operate with and place confidence in each other , they separated , actuated v-itb a more earnest desire to set their country free . Mr . Marsden will represent CHtheroe , Colne , Bacup , Accrington , Biackbnrn , Sabden , and Pieston in the forthcoming Conference .
Northampton . —The chartists btld their weekly meeting as usual at tha Kechabites' Arms , when Organization ' was tbe subject of discussion . The following resolution -was adopted as one of tbe instructions to our deietraie to the forth-coming Conference : —** That we deem it imperative that our delegate to the forthcoming Conference should call the attention of . the delegates assembled to tho necessity of embodying in the Orgon'Zition some plan for the more effectual and certain relief to Charti&t political victims and their families ; for which purpose we earnestly recommend that body to take into consideration tbe propriety of apportioning one-fourtb of the contributions to n fund , with a suparate Treasurer ; and lhat the Executive should be empowered to make orders , and be responsible to the Chartist body for tbe due distribution of the-same . "
DUBLIN . —The IriBh Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , at six o ' clock in the eveniDg , lor the pnrpose of making arrangements to change the hour of meeting from six o ' clock in tbe evening to one o'clock in tbe day , during the autumn and winter months ; at which hour ( ono o'clock ) the meetings of this Association will be held till farther notice . The meetings are but thinly attended , in consequence of the all-absorbing question of Repeal , and the fears of timid men to join an Association which Mr . O Connell has denounced as unlawful ; and to crush which be did not acrnple at calling upon the Roman Catholic clergy to aid him in tScdiug even through the confessional . Chartism has been denounced from several altars in Ireland j and in Louehrea , Rusfeey , and Sligo men have
been Bb 3 olnte ) y hunted out of society for no other crime than that of having expressed favourable opiniona of TjniverF £ l Suffm ^ e , VoU- by Billot , and Annual Parliaments , la Sligo the Catholic clergy , inntigivted by O Connell , actually honted out the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association with the samo avidity that the yeomanry were wont to hunt ont Rapists , or reputed Papists ; and so / u'ly impressed aro they -with tbe idea that the Union will Ve Repealed , that a man is not looked upon as an Irishman , unless be subscribes bia money and joins the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland . " So completely UA astray and so blinded are they , by the eloquence of O'Oonnell , tbat they , one and all , overlook biB repeated offers to " sell Ireland for
justice to Ireland . " At the meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , held on Monday , the 34 tb instant , the day before the great meeting at Tara Hill , Couseller Clements in tbe cbair , Mr . O Connell said , " I now offer to sell tbe Duke of Wellington a geod bargain . I shall give him Ireland if he gives Ireland justice "—( hear , hear ) . See the Freeman ' s Journal . of the loth inst . This justice for which he offers to sell Ireland is , to Eay the least of it , very dubious . It is hard to define the precise meaning of Justice . At all events it is clear : enongh thai the good bargain means the Repeal Movement ; tber « cannot be tho Jfsst iohhi abont tbat ; so tbat after all the Repeal movement will be sold to tbo Duke of Wellington by > lr . O'Conneil for what be may deem
justice . How will bis Grace of Tuam like to be sold to hi * Grace of Wellington for "justice to Ireland ?' It would be absurd to 1 say tbat Repeal would be sold for Repeal . Mr . O'Connell has nothing to Bell but the Repeal movement * and he offers to Btll tbat for " justice to Ireland . " What a pretty pass the movementhas come to ! Those who knew Mr . OConnell well , suspected , all along , that he would eel ] tbe Kepeal movement the very first opportunity . He said tbat 1843 was to be the Repeal year . At tbe Hill of Tara , on the litb instant , be it remembered , he said itthe aaid Daniel O'Conneil pledged himself , that the union wxald be repcaledin twelve months from that date . Mark that . Bear that in mind ye Tory Radicals and physical-force Feargusites .
BTCCKPORT . —At : a general meeting of members onbunday afternoon , Mr . Wm . Harrop iu the chair ; on the motion of Mr . T . Davies , seconded by Mr . Wm . Mattley , it was unanimously resolved : — " Tbat a Sunday " School after the fashion of our excellent friends at Manchester be established , and a committee of five chosen to carry it out . " Five persons to be appointed . It was then agreed that a concert and ball be held an Monday , Sept . 11 th , the proceeds of which to no to the School Fund . It was also resolved "That a public meeting convened by requisition , be held on Tuesday , August 2 ° -th to elect a delegate to the Birmingham Conference .
At the Council Meeting on Thursday evening , a committee of three was appointed in accordance . jvith a resolution of the two last county delegate meetings , to act as a finance comm ' v . ee ; to whom all monies for the delegate to the C-mference are to be sent . The committee beg the lollowing places to spnd ib their quotas as early as possible before the 3 rd of September : —Matcleafieid , Northwich , Nantwich , Contjleton , Mottram , and Hyde . All communications to be addressed , pest paid , to Mr . Joseph Carter , Waier-street , Portwood , Stock port .
O . v SuxDjir evening , Mr . M . P . Daly , of Levonshume , delivered a second address , on Chartism and Temperance . The andience was unusually large . The lecturer , 'in a most masterly manner , exhibited the absurdity of a druckard being a real Chartii-t or a Christian . ¦ He combated , in a peculiar and effective style , the objections taken to the objects and policy of the Chartists ; and gave it as his opinion that no man could be a believer in the beautiful and sublime principles of Christianity , who was aot a democrat 3 At the conclusion , ihe tbaiiks of the meeting were voted to Mr . Daley , and the sum of 4 s . 2 £ d . collected , and the business brought to an agreeable close .
Public Meeting of the Inhabitants <~ 'P Manchester . —A numerous meeting was holden in the Carpenters' Hall , on Tuesday evening last , for the purpose of electing two delegates to the forthcoming Conference . Mr . James Leach was unanimously called upon to preside . The Chairman opened the business by reading the placard convening the meeting . Mr . Daniel Donovan then rose , aad proposed Mr . C . Doyle as a lit * nd proper person to represent South Lancashire in the Conference ; and paid a
well-merited compliment to that gentleman , for his Z"al and uprightness uf conduct « nd character . M . r . John > Tuttall seconded the motion in an effective speech , which was deservedly and rapturously applauded . The Chairman then put the motion , which w&b carried without a dissentient . The Rev . W .
