2 JT Dxjl& FfitEKDS . —I now proceed -with my narrative . DrxDKE ^ -On Tuesday "Mr . Dancombe and I arrived &tDundee , ^ b ant four o ' clock . There was a very splendid Soiree in the largest cbapBl that could be procured ; and when Mr . Dnneombe made his appearancelie waslondly and rapturously applauded . Mr . Kidd . the principal bntcher in the town , was in the chair ; and after the BBual liberal sentiments had been proposed , the last of them , " The Northern Star" was spoken to by a working man , ( who 3 e name r forget ) in most eloquent terms . In speaking of the New Plan of Organization , he said , " I ask j did any thing more perfect ever eome from the pea
of man I &&d is not Mr . HobBDB , the present talented editor of the JStor , and compiler of that plan , worthy the cosfidenceof the working classes !"—{ Cheers . ) 'When Mr . Dnneombe made his &ppearsnoe , he was loudly cheered j and after & very long and eloquent review of his Parli&meniary condnci , and an avowal © f the principles of Chartism , name and aU , he resumed his seat amidst several ronnds of applause , and waving of hats . I followed ; and made an Ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written by way -of apology for his non-attendance , my text . This pompons . fool declined accepting the invitation , because I was to be there ; but I promise you that after the licking I gave him , he will never write my name again as Jong as he lives . We had a vast
number of the middle classes , and many manufacturers present . I enroled in all , is Dundee , 270 members . When we returned to onr hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial Room , where there was a party of seven or eight gentlemen , a ll of whom had just returned from the meeting . I did accompany him ; and there met several very gentlemanlike intelligent persons , some of them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , who I have since learned is the best and kindest master in Dundee . 1 do not know his name . We discussed the principles of the Charter and a free trade , " till nearly three o ' clock in the morning- ; all the young men standing up . for the Charter . The principles are beginning to find way here . We conclnded the morning ' s entertainment , by a bet between the German gentleman and myself : be betting that upon a dissolution of
Parliament , the Whigs would come into power again : J betiing that , as Whigs , they would not . The wager is , a dinner for the party then present . Sir . Kidd , the ghavnna-n , gave me £ 1 tor the Executive , and a gentleman , who would not give his name , gav&me 5 s . for the Executive . On Wednesaay morning we proceeded on our "way to Aberdeen , Mr . Dnneombe stopping at Stonehaven , fifteen miles from Aberdeen ; wuile I went on . When 1 arrived at the coach tfB . ee there was a large concourse of persons to receive me , but do notice of any meeting for that night : the council 5 npposiDg that 1 should be too much fatigued . However we put up a bill in Mr . Ledge ' s window ; and at eight o ' clock we had an excellent meeting in a large chapel , when I spoke at great length and with good elect . I enrolled 128 members ; and would have added all to the ranks had they been apprised of my intention .
The following day was to be the all-important one—the day of the Draccx » E dmossiratios : and when I looked ont of my window , to my horror I saw that theelemests were to be against us . It ¦ wa s the only wet day thej have hid for along time . It raiDed incessantly ; and great was our misgiving . At twelve o ' clock I started , in company with the Teteran Archy M'Donald . in ajcarriage and six , to meet Mr . Dnncome : for whom STPherson and anoiier excellent fellow of our body had gone early to Stoneharen . When Mr . Dnneombe arrived , one wonld have imagined 4 hal the rain , so far frdm deterring , had invited the Chartists to come out ; for it was the longest and grandest procession they have ever had . All the trades were in f nil regalia .
When Mr . Duncombe met the procession , he wonld have the carriage opened ; and there he stood like a dripping statue the whole way . He wa 3 "highlw ^ and justly delighted with his reception . It was ob * intention to have proceeded to the links , x ? usnavint the day was so wet , we stopped in the Market-place ; when ^ rar old and valued friend , 24 'PhersoB , was called to the ehair _ : and oornot less valued friend , Legge , proposed an address , wh i ch he read to Mr . Dnneombe , and to which Mr . Dnneombe replied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of his hearers . I was then to speak ; and as all previous speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rejoiced at it , and for this simple reason : had it been fine , the press would have attri ,-bmed theatten dance tosigbtseeing-enriosity ; whereas as it was wet . none but iron Chartists would come out . Before I communicate themost cheering portion of the intelligence to yon , let me tell you that it
did not rain within seven miles of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I have since learned ; and it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the ihree weeks I have been on my rambles , we have only liad three Tret days : the one that Mr . Dancombe entered Manchester ; again , when le entered Newcastle ; and on Thursday when he entered Aberdeen . This ¦ was doubtless to try the icettle of the Chartists . It was too wet to enrol members , or I should have enlisted 5 , 000 at least ; but I did" enrol one that in my humble opinion will give more general satisfaction , than if I had enrolled 10 , 000 others . On onr return to the hotel , Mr . Dnneombe said , * If ow I a member of the . National Charter Association ? " I replied , No ; if yon have not taken out your card . " " Well , " said lie , " as I am virtually a member of that body 3 I shonld be so actually ; so give me my card , and fill it np Aberdeen , Oct . 26 th . " I did so , and he paid me a guinea for it : so
DUNGOMBE , JLP ., IS A 1 SO DUNCONBE , MJP ., OF THE NATIONAL
CHAETEE ASSOCIATION i by far the most honourable distinction , in wj mind . In the evening we had a grand-Soiree . They conld only get a Hall to hold pocbtees bcsdbib persons , which was inconveniently crowded . They applied to a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall , capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which they declare they conld have filled . But such a sight would have been too much for such jaundiced eyes ; so ibey refused ns . In Aberdeen , so influential is Chartism , that M'Pherson beat both parries , by nearly 100 majority , fox the Commissionership of Police ; and he now fills that important office . They do their business better than any other people ; and they _ do it without softening down the principle to prejudicepoint . They canvass for every office nnder the principlesnameand alL ¦
, , I attended at the Soiree an hour before the proper lime , and enrolled a number of members ; but it was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly state the nnmber nntil 1 take stock of my wares- ; but 1 should say aboat 300 , which , added to 1 , 4 ) 00 cards that have been left at Aberdeen , will make 1 , 428 for that town . Mr . Dnneombe arrived at eight o ' clock , accompanied by M'Pherson , the chairman , and was mosi rapturously applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had some excellent singing , and opened the business with " Scots , wha hae , sung by tbewhole company . I spoke at great length ; and Lovrery spoke . Mr . Dnneombe was called upon his legs a second time ,
to receive an address from the female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a splendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with Iub arms and crest Tery beauufnlly engraved npon it . The address was emphatically and feelingly read by a very beautifu and interesting young woman ; and , when Mr . Dnneombe presented himself in full costnme , he was rapturously applauded . He returned thanks in a Tery excellent and talented speech , shor tly after "which we retired , accompanied by Mr . Legge , who remained with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told me that the proceeds arising out of my visit , two Jean ago , had kept the Association in funds np to the present time .
On Friday , m "were to have had a public meeting to enrol members ; bnt , owing to a pledge that I gave to the people of Arbroatb , that I wonld work to repay the monies advanced to send delegates to the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to visit the latter town for that pnrpose . On Friday morni ^ Ss we got up at four o ' clock , Mr . Duncombe to sisrt for Glasgow , and I for Montrose , where I had premised to address the people at two o ' clock , in the Thiale Hatt . "We " bad a . most excellent meeting ; a » d I « a only ay that ihe people of Montrose expressed

themselves more than delighted . They told me that I had Bade many converts , and dispelled much prejudice . I enrolled seventy-eight members ; and , had it not been Monday , I would have enrolled two hundred . This town , like many others , complains sadly of trafficking pedlars . " They have gone far to ruin them ; and the Association did me the honour today that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some curious stories at Montrose , about money-grvbbingie * ongh to sicken the honest lecturers . I must say . however , that { they spoke very highly of the Manchester Packer , snd Gammage . They say the Packer cares less abont the money than anj man they ever heard . These things should be kn&wn .
As I was to speak at Arbroath at eight o ' clock , I intended proceeding by the Aberdeen mail ; bnt it was full , and I was obliged to post it , and did not arrive till half-past eight . Here the Chartists have built a splendid place of their own ; and they filled it . I spoke at great length ; enrolled 200 ; got home at half-past eleven ; dined , and went to bed . On Saturday morning , I started for Dundee . And now for a day ' s work . I addressed the people in their obapel ; bnt the day being a dreadful one , blowing and raining , it was not filled . Howevtr , I had a capital audience ; spoke abont as hour ; and was obliged t « break off , to start for Leith . I never was out on a worse day . Within 300 vards of the
Arbroath , station lay the f Defiance of London , a wreck with a valuable general cargo ; the ship being ready to be dashed to pieces when the tide comes in . In crossing from the county of Fife , to Newhaven , we had to go a considerable distance to the steamer in small boats ; and the screams of the women , and the running to the side , when-a swell , lika a mountain , neared us , threatening to swallow us all up , were most terrific . The landing and embarking at this important point is most awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman observed in my hearing , it will remain bo , until a Lord Lieutenant , two or three Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a dozen of lawyers are drowned . Then , but not till then , wi ll it be remedied .
I arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Leith at seven , when , in consequence of the early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the 6 BEAT meeting , as they called it , my audience was not numerous ; but it was good , and very attentive . I spoke for nearly an hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . I then started for Edinburgh for the meeting in St . Cecilia Hall ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — " Ireland and her wrongs . " Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . 1 set to it at once ; and I certainly made a smasher . I conld scarcely proceed , so numerous
were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave them two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung through the hall , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter as a necessary appendage to Repeal , they bounced np and cheered , asd cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here 600 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . 1 addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh : and had a moBt tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten ' clock ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of i * .
I must now give you a little of the chit chat here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Buncombe was got np here by ninej deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartists , for the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit so iard however , by the failure and expense ^ about nine pounds at the wrong side , that they are now quarelling among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance is worthy of especial notice . The SturgiteB , Who got np the party , tried to enJist the
Irishmen ; and , amongst others , sent six cards to a Mr . Connor , & most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instantly enclosed hi 3 cards to the committee ; and the Irishmen who bad bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepence , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . I have this fact from Mr . Connor iinuelf . Daacombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed ** Completeism " in Scotland . No man frill now confess himself as
even belonging to the nameless staff of ** poor Joseph . " He is now a " shepherd without a flock , " taking his wits to Crawfordsbarn , to have a confab with honest Sharman Crawford , to see hew they can make " something out of nothing . " They BhoHld remember the old adage : —
" Ej nihil , nViiljil . " ** Out of nothing nothing can be made . " cannot neglect stating one pleasing fact : two hundred nonest Chartists , fifty miles south of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the Duncombe demonstration ; and when they had got within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked the fifty miles . Who now says that chak-TisK is dead ik ECOTLi . t-9 ? In fact , my friends , most of those who have visited Scotland , have
estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse irom the poor people ; and the Scotch being careful of their pence , and email blame to them , the u pedlars" give Chartism a bad name ; but I declare that there never was so much Chartism in Scotland ; bnt it will not pay for puffs . I will give you Mr . Duncombe's own words about it . "By Jove , if those who say Chartism iB dead would ODly come to Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What ! are all these Chartists 1 " I tell yon , and yon will believe me , that Chartism is able to beat all other isms in Scotland .
As I long &gs predicted , some of the church ' Chartists have tried to strangle the question of civil Tights . Secret letter writing ; undermining ; and applying for the passing of friendly resolutions are practices very much in use latterly . But the Scotch are a very far-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by theii old friends , till they see reason to change . I have learned many lessons of wiBdom since my arrival here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Duncombe was a member of our association , I thought the cheering would never stop . Your sincere friend , p £ AB « irs O'Coxkor .
Glasgow . —P . S . —I have only time to say we had a most Bplenoid scene in tae City Hall . Moir , Paul , and Adams made most admirable speeches , and Mr Dancombe out-did himself . He gave nnbounded satisfaction ; and I never beard any man more enthusiastically applauded . The best thing that I can say of myself is , thai I enrolled
1 , 585 ! ONE THOrSXSD FIVE HCNnBED AND EIGHTY-FIVE names , and 1 left at half past seven this moraiDg for Dumfries , where 1 now write , at half-past nine , p . m . DracPBiEs . —Here we had a great disappointment . The people took the largest church in the town for this meeting , and signed articles with the committee ; but the priest , one of the rampant non-intTBsiomsts , one M'Keniie , took off the key , and went out of town , after all the expence was incurred . At the last moment , when the people were all but mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we had an admirable meeting , notwithstanding the Nonintrasionist Liberal . I enlisted 160 Chartists , and I am now going to a pnblic supper to enlist more . I am really knocked up ; and nothing but Tidd Pratt could induce me to persevere . _

GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT ABERDEEN , IN HONOUR OF " THE PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNCOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From tbe moment It waa known that Mr . Dancombe was to Tiait this city , every Chartist set to work in order to » ake his reception in aome degree commensurate with the great 8 ervice » he has , ia and oufc of Parliament , rendered te the people . On the evening previous to the ' proceMion Mr . O'Connor arrived with the sooth mail ,
and was received bya great number of his friends In tbat manner in which every old and faithful friend will always be received in the Land of Cakes . Though no notice nor any knowledge of Mr . OConnor ' s intention to lecture -was known , yet two hours after his arrival he found himself addressing a large audience of the citizens of the north . Xbe meeting was enthusiastic and listened with delight upwards of two hours to their faithful champien » Dd attached friend . At the close of the lecture a great number purchased cards of the National Association .
THE PROCESSION—GREAT MEETING , &C . At an early hour on Thursday , the day on which Mr . Dnneombe was to enter tbe capital of the north , extraordinary excitement was observable onall aides . At about twenty minutes past ten , the different trades took up their respective stations , according to their priority la the incorporation , or the order in which they bad ballotted to walk . At eleven-precisely , the procession , on the agreed-upon sound of the bugle , started ; and notwithstanding about this time the morning , though previously fair , suddenly changed to a severe rain , which continued with unabated violence for three hoars , yet , glorious to say , not one left the procession until they had fairly accomplished their duty , by conveying Mr . Dancombe after the meetiDR . to bis hoteL
Mr . Duncombe arrived at Stonehaven on Wednesday , the 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles south of Aberdeen , at which place a deputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday ] morning . Accordingly , Mr . James M'Pheraon and Mr . Robert Macintosh , the Chairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for that purpose , and arrived at the Bridge of Dee , two miles from town , about one o ' clock , p . m ., as was appointed . Agreeable ; to p ^ eviona arrangement , the procession was to meet Mr . Duncombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , within & mile and a half of town , where , on his arrival ,
be and bis friends were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by six bay horses , with postillions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing hunting caps , with gold tassels . When the parties met , Mr . Dancombe stept into the carriage , ' accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Pherson and Macintosh . On the first appearance » f Mr . Duncombe in the carriage , a loud and pealing thunder of cheers ran along the dense procession of congregated thousands vibrating and thrilling upon the ear in awful grandenr , while tbe eye feasted upon one of tbe moBt imposing spectacles ever presented in our city .
As soen as the Marshals had completed their preliminary arrangements , under the superintendence of Mr . James Thomson , the dense mass fell into line on each side , leaving an open space in the centre for Mr . Duncombe ' s carriage to pass , and in which he stood oh the Beat , receiving , tbe warm congratulations of a warmhearted people . As he reached the top of the precession , the bugles sounded a halt ,-and the several trades , according to arrangement , inarched past the carriage , and proceeded in the following order : — JUMIftB IKC 0 B 70 RATED TRADES .

A number of other beautiful green and Roman banners and flags were carried in the procession . Thus formed one of tbe most splendid processions ever exhibited in this part of the country . By the time the procession reached tbe town , notwithstanding the rain which fell heavily , it had swelled to a vast amount All the way from the Water House , aa far as the eye could could reach down Union-street , presented one vast moving mass . The windows and balconies , were occupied by the aristocracy of Aberdeen , many of whom cheered , and a profusion of handkerchiefs were to be seen waving from the snow-white hands of some of the ladies who occupied the windows and balconies . The procession
moved down Unien-street , St Nicolas-street , Georgestreet , St . Paul's-street , Gallowgate , Broad-street , to tbe Market Cross , where the meeting was to be held . The procession was intended to proceed to the great natural amphitheatre at the terminus of the Caledonian race course , but the inclemency of the weather prevented it . The carriage , with Mr . Duncombe and those who were to take part , drew up west of the Cross , in the spacious Market Square ; and though several thousands had gone to the first intended place of meeting , not knowing but the procession was to proceed also , yet tbe Great Square presented one living mass of men and women , such as bad seldom , if ever , graced it before .
Mr .

DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly mee&sag ° n Sunday last , at their Rooms , } No . 14 , Nortfe Anne-street ' , Mr . Patrick Rafter , in the © hair ; Mr , H . Dyot 1 r Secretary . Mr . Dyott having read the ? minutes &i the last meeting , sad tbe rales and objieets of the Socisty , and also a letter from Mr . John Lotrery , of Eneti , couDty of Mayo . Mr . O'HigRinB rose , and said , he wished to postpone the motion of which he had given notice oa the previous Sunday ; and in its stead give notice efj a motion of more immediate and pressing importance . The motion which he should submit to thejeonsideration of the Society waa one of a very conciliatory nature—( cbeors ) .
Most of hiB fellow-citizens were acquainted with the fact , that he , ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had from his first step ia politics to the present hour laboured to effeet a good understanding between the jpreat bulk of the English people and the Irish . P / ifctand Castlereagb succeeded ia effecting ] aa Oligarchical Union between the English and Irish oppressors of the people ; and he waa sorry to repeat what they bad so of ten heard before , that some great leaders of the Irish people , whom he ahould not I now name , followed in the wake of Pitt and * Castlereagb , by using oil their powerful eloquence and great influence to make the people of'"Ireland * believe that the English people were the enemies of the Irish and their religion . This was just what Pitt and Castlereagh sought to
effect ; they succeeded in forming a cordial union of English and Irish tyrant ? , but they failed to establish religious and national hatred between the oppressed people of both countries . This was reserved for other parties ! He regretted to say that the labours of a certain individual-had been successful , to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in fact , tbe great bulk of vrbom , now believe that the English working people hate them and their religion to such a degree that they would willingly come over here at the bidding of any Minister , Whig of Tory , and help him to cut the throats of the Irish Catholic priests . Thus that feeling of hatred and ! animosity which Pitt and Castlereagh failed to bring about , has been effected
by the great advocate of civil and religious liberty—( hear , hear ) . The notioe which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in short a cordial union , between j the English and the Irish people . The motion he now gave notice of was to the following effect : ~ " Conciliation : between Daniel O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor , in a proposed amicable discussion in the Conciliation Hall : —That in orderjto make the Conciliation H all be in reality that ! which it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called upon no longer to retard the progress of the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 , 500 , 000 inhabitants of Great Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Union , by
reason of some private pique or personal quarrel , between himself and Mr . Feargus O'Connor . That in order to overthrow tyranny in England and Ireland , a cordial union should be effected between the working classes of both ] countries ; and in order to effect this most desirable objeot it is Mr . O'Connell ' s bounden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly and amicable discussion of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their j disputes and differences fn the altar of { their common country . " He ( Mr . O'H . ) did not know Mr . O'Connor eo well or so long as he knew Mr . O'Connell ; yet he would stake bis life ! upon it , that in order to
effect so glorious an object as that contemplated ia the motion of which he had given notice , Mr . OConnor would cheerfully forgive all injuries whioh he has suffered at tbe hands of Mr . O'Connell —( cheers ) . Mr . Thomas Ford said , ] as a Meathman , it would do his heart good to see these two great men make up their quarrel for the sake of the country . Mr . John Lynham said that he also was a Meathman , a labourer ; and though he had but little to spare , he would give a months' wages , if he were to live on one meal a day to see the unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell made up . Mr . Bergin did not know what was meant by Conciliation unless it was to join cordially for the interests of our country . Why does Mr . O'Connell call npon others to bury in oblivion all old disputes , while he himself never sets us the example t—( hear ) Mr . William Woodward said that be had for some time past contemplated a motion something like that
whioh was read by Mr . O'Higgins . Conciliation Hall , was tbe proper plaoe to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of any injury or injustice done by Mr . O'Connor to Mr . O'Connell ; and even if he had injared him surely Mr . j O'Connell , reads the Lord ' s prayer!—( Hear , hear . ) i Mr . Dvott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion ; but he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . Mr . Henry Clark said that be highly approved of the motion . It was well-timed , and if carried into operation would produce an effect even on present affairs in whioh Mr . O'Connell was interested—( hear , hear ) . He concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in the Daily and Weekly Freeman ' s Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr . Bergin waa called to the chair , and the thanks of the : meeting having been given to Mr . Rafter , they adjourned till next Sunday at one o olook . i

After his address , the memorial , which has been so triumphantly carried at Haddersfield , Bradford , fco ., was put to the meeting and tarried almost unanimously . Although one of the League cried out ¦ ' lift up your hands free traders , " only six hands were held { up against the memorial ;
though there could be ; no less than seven hundred persons present . After the memorial was carried , Mr . Wm . Cunningham rose to move the resolution , whioh was adopted at ; Huddersh ' eld , in support of whioh he Bhowed that the working classes had ever struggled for the protection of labour . Mr . C . lashed the local secretary of the League , who had volunteered his services in the yeomanry cavairy to cut down the people ifj they dared to complain , and concluded by moving \ the resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Haddock , and carried unanimously . The chairman said , "lyoii are all Chartists here ;" which was received with loud cheers and clapping of hands .
