GRAND DINNER TO MESSRS . LOVETT AND COLLINS . ( Conelude tFfnm our first page . ) ( Mr . Collins ) was 111 n the hospital ; and on Christmas Day , -when they were allowed a bit of f ^ JL , P J $ *« ° « » t themselves . ( Roan of laughter . ) When they eomplained of it to the ¦ jagietratea , they were told—^ If jou do not hare tn « meat m a solid , you hare it in » soluble stateyea hare it in the soap . " ( Great laughter . ) He repned , Whatever may hare beea put in the soup , there is no meat in it when it comes to ns ^ and , in act , the soup was of that nature that Be could not partake of it—it made him ill . ( Hear , hear . ) His mend Lovett , having a great craving for animal food , attempted to force a little of it into his stomach , and GRAND DINNER TO MESSRS . LOVETT
was congratulating himself very much one Sunday when he was takiDP his soup , and he ( Sir . Collins ) Itis bread and water , that he had 6 ome animal food in it , but it happened to cause rather a different sen-¦ alien npon his toagae thin other kinds of a-winf ! food had done , so ho must Be * ds tike it out to loot % t it , and it proved to be a very fine black beetle . ( Laughter and cries of " shame . " ) So that , notwithstanding the great desire Mr . Lorett had for animal food , he could not take it in a soluble state » ny more . ( Great laughter . ) Shortly afterwards , two of the magistrates , Mr . Gelion and Mr . Braoebridge , Yisited them , and on tbeir repeating that they had no meat , Mr . Gelton became very much eiciffcd , and asked if they meant to make that as an
allegation ! They said they did . He inquired upor , what authority ? They replied upon the authority of the cook who made the soup—( laughter , hear , hear , and a cry of * And very good authority too ")— - who weighed the meat every day , and who Baw the list hanging up with the number of prisoners in the goal . ( Hear , hear . ) It was arkod by the magistrate , Is that man , the cook , here now ! " He ( Mr . Collins ) replied , No , Sir , his time is up , and he has gone out . " ( Laughter . ) "Can you give me his address V * said the magistrate . " No , " he replied , * but I know -where to find khn when I want to prove it in a Court of Justice . " ( Great cheering ) The next day they were visited by Sir Eardley Wiljnot , in company with the Governor . Th « Governor then admitied that there was ojly a " llb =. of meat of
m the soup , the sur ^ aon the prison having given it as his opinion that half a pound of mea ? made the soup too rich , ( Laughter . ) The magistrates thus got themselves into a dilemma . They were aware thai evideBce could be brought forward to prove they had published a false dietary table , and a false list of rules , so they were in hopes that if they gave the two half pounds per week , all would be forgotten . There were many little annoyances , howtver , to which they were afterwards subjected ' but which could not b « entered into at a pablio meeting , ( liear , near . ) There was one other subject connected with the discipline of Warwick Gaol to whirh he wished to allnde , and although it was a ¦ tode of punishment to whichin consequence of
, toeir good conduct , they were never subjected , yet they were liable to it every day . By an Act of Parliament , any person who committed a breach of tae roles of the prison , or used improper , language , or were idle and refused to work , or would not attend the chapel , might be locked up in the solitary cell for any period not exceeding three days and three nights , and that , too , at the instigation of the Governor , and without aiiy magisterial investigation . In the winter , confinementin such a cell mnst be very dreadful . It contained an iron bedstead , with wood instead of Backing . The prisoner was not allowed a morsel of bedding of any kind , nor straw , nur any kind of covering , except an old rag , but not hufioieni to cover his entire body . Ihis trtatustit he be subj ected to
mi ^ ht amidst the frost and snow of wkiier , there not being sufficient room in ihe ceil to aumit of exercise to keep the blood in circulation , and * he cell door being opened only once m the morning to give him his loaf of bread , and biggin of w&ier . The meeling might , therefore , imagine that a man in such a situation mutt undergo the most intense suffering . Mr . Collins then mentioned he ca * e o ; a boy who w&s confined in Warwick Gaol bei-Tf trial for hiving Bioien a pair of bellows , vol-. ; e 3 * ., aud who having qaarrelied with Mother b- ^ in tbt- prison , was placed in one of these Boliu ^ ry cuiLj . lu cocsequence of this confinement the iad became so diseased that a bone of oue of his toes sctnaiij became detached , which he sent to the turnkey as a present for telling the Governor of his
quarrel . He was afterwards sent to the hospital ; and notwithstanding all the suffering endured bv this t-oo / iad , Le was after conviction sentenced to twe ty-oaa days' imprisonment . ( Load cries of "Saame , shame . ' ") He ( ilr . Collins ; never saw anything on the pars of the Governor that would indues bjca to make a charge against the Governor as a man—his object wa 3 to create a feeling against the law Lh&t wonli permit any fallible man to iLfliet Such pamsinnen ! npon any individual without Magisterial inTestigatioa . ( Hear . ) If God spared his life till the next Session it was his intention to endeavour to bring the subject before the House , and ace if the Honso could not be iridnctd to make an inquiry into it with a view to some alteration .
( Cheers . ) NotTrithstanding all he had endnrwi , he was not less a Radical than when he was first laid bold of by the mjraidons of the Government . ( L <» nd cheers . ) Ho was not less disposed to lift up bis voice and to denounce the unjust condnct of that individual who , instead of protecting the people , exercised that power with which he was entrusted to oppress them . ( Cheers . ) No doubt they had all read the letter of Lord John Russell to the Go-Ternor , in which he Btatod that he ( Mr . Collins ) had betn convicted of an attempt to force the people to amis and bloodshed . That was not true . There was not a man in-Birmingham , Whig , Tory , or Radical , who could gay he had erer attempted each a thing . ( Hear , hear ) When ,
having tried all he could to obtain a comfortable seat in Parliament for the Member for Birmingham , * cd had obtained the franchise for part of his fellowtownsmen , be began to puth a little -for himself , not having hitherto been thonght fit to be entrusted with the elective franchise , the Government adopted the condnct of individuals who went to plays or places of public amusement , When there was" a great crowd at the door they said , " Push on , push on , " but tae moment they got a little inside they sing cat , ** What tbe deril are you gLovlng at—can ' t you be qniet ! " ( Great laughter and cheers . ) No , he could not be quiet—( cheere)—while be saw around him hundreds and thousands of his fellow-men honest , industrious , and intelligent , starring in a
country possessed of every facility for producing the comforts of iif- ? , he could not be quiet , and would not be quiet . ( Cheers . ) And yet wnile he-could not be and would not be q-tiet , he would be ^ to ieil the little Lord , who bad taken the liberty of slandering him in that lelUr , that if Le had not the honour of aji illustrious house to support by his conduct , that he had too much respect for his fellow men even to appeal to force of arms cr bloodshed—( hear , hear)—that he had too much love for truth to slander a fellow-man , especially if that man was in . a prison and unable to defend himself ; atd that he had too much love for justice to be afraid of denouncing the conduct of men who exercised their power brutaUy , unjustly , and tjrannicaily , whether they were London policemen— ( groans)—visiting magistrates of the eoumy , or members of her Msje ? ty ' s ministry . ( Groans and hisses . ) His friend Lovett had alluded to a pl&n for a new organisation of the people . He baiieved it would pnt them in abettor position than
they had hitherto occupied , and be was coavinced there was no hope of internal peace , happiness , and comfort for the inhabitanti ? of this country until the working classes had their interests represented in the Legisia ' -ure . ( Cheeig . ) In conclusion , he begged to stale that he felt extremely grateful for the sympathy which had been manifested , and . Although it was useless for him to repeat tbe names of rho * e whom hia worthy colleague had mentioned as being entitled to their tttauks , yet he felt uo less grateful ; and he felt especially grateful to \ J r . Duncombe , for the candid avowal he had made , that there was not one word in the libel for whirh ' ihey had been protecuWd , that ha was not willing t-j adopt as his own words . ( Caeers . ) These things had chsereJ their hearts in the gloom of the prison ; and he would endeavour to show , by his future esmiens fo emancipate his fellow-men from tbeir thraMom , that their kindness was not ill b *^> vred , and was not undeserved . ( Continued cheers )
THft following address , which it was intimated by the-Chairman had been forwarded from Aberdeen Vo the Committee , was recited by Mr . Westerton , and was most rapturously applauded : — Wife joyous rapture every bosonu" glows , To greet tbee , Lovett , from thy gloomy cell—A martyr hero from the tyrant's grasp—A Irving trimtrph o'er our-country ' s foes . But dtep urging shame Bha ' il brand their brow , Who gavfl tbee , for thy tcil , a dungeon , loathsome As tbe bl&ck malignity which fill'd their Hearts , -who nursed thee -with the tender mercy Of relentless A !{ rienne humanity .

Worthy of honour , HONEST WILLIAM LOVKTT With the pewert wbo re © them of their dearest
Mr . Watson rose to propose the next toast , and was received-with great applause . He had the pleasure to submit a toast , which ha hoped every person present ¦ would most lie&rtily respond to . and he would at onoe read it It wu- " Universal Suffrage , and the other eeseatials to good Government contained in the Peopled Charter . " ( Loud cheerM Though during the last twelve months in connection with the agitation for the Charter , there had been much to regret , he , for one , iid not despair of its ultimate success . ( Cheers . ) It was not a Whig , Tory , or Coalition Government , that could say to the people of England •¦ You have rights but you shall not exercise them . " ( Cheers . ) Were such of ihem as riid notpossese the suffrage content to remain Hlaves ? ( Cries of "No , no , ") Let them by union
, combination , -wisdom , and prudence , show them "who had lately filled the gaols , that tho 7 would not dare to repeat such conduct . ( Cheers . ) The people mu 3 t immediately renew the agitation for Universal Sufirage , and all the essentials of good government If they possessed Universal Suffrage -would they return the nincompoops who now ssit in the House of Commons . ( Oiea of "No . " j They bad met that day to do honour to Ix > vett and Collins , but tUat bononr -wouM not be paid by merely cheering them— tuere were the fa-ni ; ies of those now in prison to be looked to , and let them not separate from those festive bjard and forget who had been the cause of all their distress and ndaery . There -was a talk of this country s ° » ng to war w . th
France , but he hoped the ¦ wor king people ot botfc countries had too much good Basse to assist in any mch wir . which was revolting and abominable to every humane feeling . ( Loud cries of " Hear , hear . " ) He believed tbe people begin to see that it was not to their interest to engage in war . He expressed a hope that every working man who was entitled to the fraucb ae would not fail in becoming registered ; great injustice had boen committed by their neglect to do so . He thankt d them cordially for the attentlen with which they ha-A listened to him , and hoped that when they ratt again they might have something more substantial to congratulate thumselTes apon . ( Cheers . ) The toast was then drank with tremendous ch&ering . Air by tie band— " The Awakening of the People . "
Er Bpps proposed the Btxt toast— " T . S . Duncumbe , Ksq , and those Members or Parliament who have generally assisted our friends—our bert thanks to them . " The Doctor , in the course of his remarks , observed , that no borough in the metropolis could boast of two such independent Member * as tbe borough of Finsbury , ( Cheers . ) It was rumoured that some Tooke was to come amongst them , but he would not take in Finsbury . ( Laughter . ) They wanted more Duncoinbea and Wakleys in Parliament ( Hear , bear . ) Thousands of working men vcho wero bow disfranchised , might by a little industry , obtain votes—let taem strive to do so . ( Hear , hear . ) It was ef no use talking ; they might talk till doomsday about the Charter , bnt tke Charter they never vrocld get until they , the Chartists , helped to do something to return Members to Parliament ( Cheers . )
ilr . Cleave , before the toast was drani , begged to perform a duty to the people ol Brighton , "who had done LoTett and Collins the honour of sending two delegates to th ;» t meeting , and aUo sent an address which he thought it was desirable that larpe assembly shoull be mado acquainted with . It was a sample of the sympathy felt by the working nion in tvery part of Great Britain . ( Cheers . ) The address -was from tLe Brighton Radical and Kejii-tration Association , and ¦ was ai follows : —
" When good men are cruelly pirsicuted . for no other crime than a bold advocacy of the claims of justice and the demands of humanity , it becomes an imperative duty on the part of the people eo to support and honour the persecuted , as shall not only proTe to the Government in how hateful a chaiac * er tleir tyrannous prooeeuinrs are regarded , but also sbow that the tine is past -when the cry of liberty could be itifl-. d by iniquitous cruelties , and tbe intiignant murnmrings of the oppressed , could bo hushed in the locked bosom of unwholesome duug&jns .
" There is not a corner of the kincdom > mt should know what is " Caartiinv . " and not a ¦* uila ;> ij u : ai . bu : gLould be eager to testify to our itcarcer- ^ ua iVitnds the . honour in which he esteems them , &nd tbt giuLituue he owes them . " Imbued with these feelings , tho Charti > ts of Brighton , in common with others , have looked forward with great anxiety to tke period whoa th ' . ir friends Lovett and Collins shtuld be liberate , and be enabled once more to mingle with the thousands to whom they are endeared .
" The public dinner about to take place f' . r the reception of the above ill-used frienc . s of the pe-.-ple , affording a promiutnt opportunity for iu « j . tner < il expression of attachment to them , it is resolved that Messrs . Morling and Lacdatll be deputed uom thib Association , to be present at the abovo public dinner , and to convey personally to Messrs . Lovut and Collins , an expression of our high esteem of those gentlemen , and of our sympathy towards them . ( Signed ) W . Woodward , ChAinnan . " He begged to return thanks to Mr . Dunoouibe ior the part he had taken on behalf of political offenders , and had it not been for that gentleman ' s exortions , he himself would not huve been present that dsy to join in
their fesuiTity . There -was one fact that had not hitherto beeu mentioned , but which tbe meeting ought to be in possession of—it was , that Levett aud Collins ¦ were months ago offered their liberties on certain conditions ; but , as independent men , they ejected with scorn givin ; securitita that would have pi evt nted them attending Uj&t d » y to state the sunvringt > iliey had t ; n-Jcred . ( Ch&ers . ) One observation nit-re . If the workicg men of London would only fortgo their pot and their pipe for twelve or eighteen months , and drink pure wattr as he did , tLe CbarUr would be theirs . 'Htar , hear . ) Let them spend their savings in diffuiing politicil knowledge , and the damned system that oppressed them -would be destroyed for ever . ( Cheers . The toast was then drank with all the hoisonrs .
ilr . Du > "C 0 JiBii , in rising to return thaxks , was most rapturously chsered . He thanked them not only on Ills own behalf , but on the behalf of other Members of the House of Commons , among -w ^ oia thry must indude his exe-.-llcnt Friend aud his Hon . Colleague in the chair—( hear )—for the kind manner in ¦ which their services had been acknowledged with regard to political offenders ; and Le was sure he was only speaiir . g their sentiments when he said that the kind and flattering manner in which their services had been recog 2 . uie .-l ¦ were far beyond their merits . He wished that they could have succeeded altogether in the objects they hid in view . He also bad to thank the meeting far affording him an opportunity of ¦ witnessing tbe intertsUng jp ^ -ctacle of that day .
They were nut there to receive thanks , or applause , or approbation , but to pay a tribute of respect to two bonest and conscientious patriots . ( Cheers . ) These two gentlemen bad suffered severely in the cause of tlie people . tHear . ) They had all bward their sentiments : ujd tl : e opinions they had expressed , and he must say that addressts more eloquent , or addresses more distinguished for good tave . could not nave betn hk&rd withLu tLe walls of St Step ; ea ' s . ( Cheers . ) Well , then , why were these two rnt-u , Uikin o' them as samples of the working classes , to be deprived of the elective franchise ? Mr . Loveit hxd told ta <* n that ho had suffr . cu in wp . iS ^ q ' . unL-e of the t 4 ate of the law of libeL N ' c-thing coulil be more tru ,-. than that . Then , ought the lav ? of libel to remain as it was ? What , after all ,
was libel , such as Mr . Lovett had been guilty of ? Wliy , it was iibel to-day , and truth to-morrow , because it entirely d > -pvnded upon the individuals who constituted the Jury at the time . ( Hear . ) It was no offence against the laws of the country . Libel was not to be found di tineci in the written statute law of the country ; aud i' he hud b < . en on the Jury ( and he bad stated as much in the House of Commons ) , he wcu'd not have fuuiv . t those individuals guilty » f libaL ( Cheers . ; He should hav 3 been ashamed of himself , feeling that he concurred in the sentiments of tbe resolution addressed t j the people at Birmingham , if he had not slated ia Parliament that he concurred with these two gentleuien who were then the Tictima of prosecution . There -was no instance on recard of any
individual found guilty of libel , -who had been treated like those two highly-respectable individuals . No , the secret -was this—it -was found the Charter was gaining ground aaion ^ the working classes of England , and it was thought r . eoes » ury to make an example of some of tbe leaders . ( Hear , hear . ) But not satisfied with merely miking an example of their leaders , they wishedhe would cot say they wished to kill those individuals —( cries of "Yes , they did , th « y did ") —he wouli not acense the authorities of a wish to murder any roan , but they certainly did not intend that these two individuals should come there on the 3 d of August , a week after their release , and be able to address that assembly as they bad done that day . ( Hear , hear . ) Feeble , indeed , was tbe voice of Mr .
Lovettbetter was the voice of Mr . Cvllins ; but he had heard from thoiee ¦ who were acquainted -with , theee two individuals , tLai they were very hr from being what they were before they wens to prison . They -were punished more , after all , for -what was nothing more or leaa than an expression of opinion . ( Cheers . ) No moral stain attached to their character ; if there had been , he should not have been there to greet Mr . Collins and Mr . Lovett ( Cheers . ) He had told them some time ago that he believed some good bad oome , though not so much as he eonla have wished , from the notion he bad made in the Hoase of Commons , with regard to political offenders , and as a proof of that , be would refer to a letter be had received that morning from Mr . YLaceai , sot on his ova cconnt , but that of Shellard and Edrratdi , who were ffln n * ia Oakham gaoL

Tbe Hon . Member tbe » read a letter from Mr . Tiaoent , in wbiabh % ezpteandbto firm- conviction of the im » - cence of Snetlard , aa £ stated that among the partial whoji » d given evidence against him , . 'wai . aaiiklividualwhoBe neighbours bad placed over bis door"Thou shalt not bear false witnese against thy neighbour ; " and a policeman who stated that he saw the ball coming out of the pistol , and stooped down to prevent its hitting his bead . The reading of this part of th » letter caused conriderable mwriment The letter also stated that the rigour of the treatment Ylucent and his fellow-prisoners received was considerabj y mitigated in consequence of the exertions of Mr . Duncombe . Another part of tbe letter . staUd that , Vincent believed Lord Nornianby to be well acquainted with all the The Hon . Member then read aletter from Mi fl ^
facts of the case of Shellard . If he was not , Mr . Duncombe observed that be would take care be should be . ( Cheers . ) He rejoiced that they bad drank the health of the Queen and Prince Albert , accompanied : with the sentiment , that they would feel sympathy for those who , having children , were confined in prison for political offences . ( Cheers . ) He trusted that when the time arrived that her Majesty had aa heir to the Throne , the Ministry would advise her to take that opportunity of issuing a proclamation—( hear , bear , )—an set of amnesty to all political offenders upon so joyous an occasion , for joyous it would be , because it would extinguish the hopes of Hanover . ( Great cheering . ) He would tell the Government that there might be rejoicings in tbe palace and among the aristocracy , and there might be illuminations in different
towns , and the bells of the churches might ring merry peals , but they might depend npon it there would be no rejoicings among the working classes , so long as their rehtions and friends were kept in the prisons of Northallerton and elsewhere . ( Cheers . ) There would be no rejoicing unless the prison doors Wtre set wide open . ( Loud cheers ) In conclusion , he had only to beg that they would allow him to join them in their congratulations to Messrs . Lovett and Collins on their safe return from ^ prison ; al though they came there damaged in health , they had- seon that day that they did not atand lower in the estimation of their fellow-citizens . He trusted that in future they -would hare a happy and pro 6 petT . ua life , and would never repent haying strag-« l < d for the rights , liberty , and happiness of their fsHow'inen . ( Great cheering . )
The Chairman then said it was a Murosof deep regret to him that he was under the ^ aintui nefievity of asking permission to depart , but he had otheftduties to perform , and he did not choose to give his enemlos the power of saying that he neglected hisjudielal dutiea tn attend a Chartist dinner . ( Hear , hear . ) His principles were with the people , and wholly and entirely in favour of democratic Government ( Cheers . ) His friends , Lovett and Collins , and his Hon . Friend and Colleague , Mr . Duneombe , bad forgotten to inform them what it was they had been imprisoned for , and subjected to a system of dietary that amounted to little short of starvation , for Lovett was only the shadow of what he had been . Di 4 they not remember him with his hercmlean frame and stentorian voice , when he
could make ten thousand men hear , whereas he could now scarcely make one hear 7 Why was that f The Warwick Gaol gruel had lessened bis energies ; and that atrocious , that infernal , that barbarous system which Bad been pursued in Warwick and other gaols , must be obviated , or their rulers should have no peace ' . ( Loud cheers . ) He had stated in tbe House of Commons , that a more important discussion could not take place . What , in the name of God ( exclaimed the Hon . Gi-ntleman ) , do they mean ! Is it their intention to deter men from the expression of their opinions by the fear of gaols and dungeons ? jCriee of " Hear / 'J Are we to have our sentiments checked and our voices stifl . d , because we shall be apprehensive of the tortures they will inflict ? Why , what was their own condnct
ten years ago ? ( Hear , hear , hear . ) What was the language they held at public meetings when they moved forward the working classes in their ranks , and when tnKy besought the friendship , the feelings , and tbe aid of the bvne , tne manvw , and the sinews of England 1 Was there any delicacy of expression to be obserud thm ? No , the exclamation then was , " The Bill , the whole Bill , and nothing but tbe Bill , " and " Down with the Tories . " More than that , the means wore unscrupulous that were to be used—you were to puuip upon them , and pelt them with brickbats ; aye , and fighting men were to come up from Kent to the extent of hundreds and thous-mds . But now that the men wbo hold those doctrines were quietly ensouced in thtir Btat * . wbat is tbe langunire they hold towards
those -who advocate an extension of the suffrage ? Water gruel , and nething but water gruel—put them into stone jugs—into gaols—into dungeons restrain them by every means in your power , so as to prevent othtr men from declaring what are their principles ] Gentltiuin , I , for one , will not submit to this treatment , iLond cheering . ) I say that in the whole history of England , throughout the entire history recorded in type , a more Infamous abandonment of principle , a more infamous specimen of tergiversation , hai never h til manifested in tbe entire history of the werid . ¦ Clii era ) Our principle was this , not the principle of Uj « - Reform Bill , but the principle of the honest repreteiitaiion of the people In Parliament , and we euid this —V \ e are content to take that Bill as a tlrat step ; but
if we fiud that the people are not represented by it , th : n we are at libeity to go on , and advance until the object we have at heart shall be attained . ( Ci&tfrs . ) I a&k you , is that object attained * No , of course it ia not You have a woree House of Commons than you ever had ; and the Reform Act has who'ly failed . iHtar . bear . ) You have got into tbe House of Commons now two seta of men—the landlords and the mill-1 ords—the landlords and the manufacturing lords ; and the object of tbe two sets of lords is to raise themselves st theexpenseof working people . Well then , what I want is thk—and do not talk to me of Universal Suffrage , or that of the other Suffrage—but what I want is the fuilhful representation of the people , and I will never be content until I ht > ve got it I want to know why
an intelligent man should be deprived of tbe Suffrage , and I would vote for anything that would have the effect of procuring a faithful representation of the people in the House of Commons . ( Hear , hear . ) But now we have no chance of carrying any motion that has the benefit of the people for its object The thing Is treated with an aristocratic sneer , and they wonder how my Hon . Friend and colleague , who is about the most honest man in the Honse— ( obeers )—and who , is all respects , is a trump of the first water—( loud cheers ai . d laughter )—they want to know how he can be sincere , connect * , d as he is -with the Aristocracy , in proposing relief to ike CkartLsto . ( Hear , hear . ) It delight 3 ia ^ to see a motion come from him oa the subject
that is the quarter it should come from—it is just the thing that psrplexes and annoys tbetn . The source is unpleasant—they say " It is exceedingly disagreeable . What the devil is Turn Duncombe at again—what does he mean ? " ( Roan of laughter . ) Of course they don't know that his motives are pur * . In fact there nover was a man who intended more good to the people , and who halted corruption and oppression more than he does . illcar . ) The Hon . Gentleman then alluded to the sevr re treatment Lovett and Collins had received , and compared it with the leniency shown to Sir F . Burdctt , Sir John Hobhouje , and Mr . Cobbett , and concluded by expressing regret at being obliged to leave the meeting . The Hon . Member , accompanied by Mr . Doncombe , then left the meeting .
A proposition was now made that Dr . Epps should take the chair , which was met by an amendment that Mr . Hetherington should preside ; and on a division , the latter gentleman was elected by more than three to one . When Mr . H . had taken the chair , Mr . Savage rose to prspose the next toast"Frost , Wil ^ ams , and Jones— may t&ey speedily be restored to thvir homeB nnd faruilks . " Whatever was the motive that had actuated John Frost , none attempted to deny that he was now suffering from
an intense feeling of sympathy for his fellow men ; he waa a true patriot , and though he might have been misgiii ied or mistaken , the working men of this country ought incessantly to labour for his return to lils home and family . He ( Mr . Savage ) would take thit opportunity of stating that Mr . Duncombe bad fought well fur Frost , but whenever the committee called on Mr . Wakley , he was never to be mei ^ wltb . He held in his hand a letter which had been received in town within these few days from Mr . Frost , to Mr . George Rogers , whose permission he bod to read the following portions to them : —
• 'Mandarin , at Sea , April 13 , 1810 . "My Deir Sir , —It was my intention to write to you before I left England , to thank yuu and our other kind friends for your great exertions in our behalf . If we did not properly appreciate them , We should be greatly wanting in gratitude . We do , my dear Sir , value them highly , and we offer you all wo hare to bestow—our sincere tnanks . ' As you well know , we were suddenly removed from the condemned cell in Monmouth , without any notice , without Being our wives and families , and without the least knowledge of our final destination . It Is aniMflng to me that men in authority should act so pitiful a part It was attempted in gaol to harrow up our feelings , by impressing on our minds the
certainty of an execution , by talking about our beheading and quartering , and the disposition of our bodies after death , and all this , too , when it had been determined that no execution should take place . If the object was to torture us , it failed ; for we bad long been looking for tbe event , if not with indifference , without any fear ; indeed , it was our sincere opinion , that to die would be far less painful than to be transported for life . * * * * Soon after we got to the hulk , we were informed that tbe convict ship , then lying at Spithead , and which had received oa board 209 convicts from the York and Leviathan , would not take us out , as our informant said that he bad seen the lists of the prisoners , and
that oar names -were not in the lists . Believing this , we thought ourselves secure for a month at least ; but on Monday , tke 24 th of February , abonl nine in tbe morning , we were ordered to be ready for immediate conveyance to the convict ship , them lying at Spithead , for transportation to New Booth Wales . This is the reason , my dear Sir , 1 did not write to you from Portsmouth . When we got to Falnoutb , we carried away our topmasts , and put into that port to refit I would have written to you from thence , bnt I was too ill to pen a long letter . * * When we were put on board tbe hoik , we were told that no one ould s * e as without an wder from tbe Secretary of State . On Saturday , tbe S 2 d . two dan before we were sent off ,

w * were informed that oar . wives and familiea might BM us without an order . If , as we intended , we had written-home , deiiring our wives to come to Portsmouth , they would bare found thai their husbands had , between the communication and their arrival , been sent to New South Wales . What ia any reflecting man to think of such p etty unfeeling conduct , in tiie rulers of a powerful nation r * % * In all cases of transportation , there is sufficient time between the sentence and tbe execution , to giro the convicts time to gee their families , and to make any arrangements as to tbeir private concerns ; but we were not allowed even the melancholy pleasure of parting from those to whom we were bound by the dearest of alltiea . * ? * Down the English . . »« , « i ™ - ^ a « . ~« h ~ «!*»
fhannel we bad very rough weather , but after clearing tnt English coast , the weather became , and still Is . very favourable . I have suffered much less from sea-sickness than I expected ; the privations which we endure are tery great ; if you wanted to see misery in its worst form , you must come aboard a convict ship ; I mean misery to those who have filled respectable situations in life ,-. for many of the convicts live better tban ever they did . We hare met with great kindness and considera tion from the commander , Mr . A . M'Ricbnle , who does everything in his power , consistent with his duty , to ameliorate our situation ; but still , my dear Sir , it is a life of great suffering . Since our arrival on board this ship , we have seen a few newspapers ; from these it appears that great exertions were made to obtain our
pardon ; they nave , however , so far foiled ; we have been transported , notwithstanding the declaration of the three judges in Monmouth , and that of the Attorney-General , Whether we sball continue in New South Wales , will depend on the people . * • I see that tbe Rural Police Bill is to be amended ; that always means making a bad thing worse ; tbeir despotism not even an attempt to colour or to blind . You will , my dear Sir , give my kind regards to all those gentlemen who have exerted themselves in our behalf . I trust they will continue to act until our country will once more enjoy the blessings' of reu \ liberty ; there is a spirit abroad that must ultimately prevail . God grant fiat it may succeed , and that our country may feel its beneficial effects , is tbe sincere prayer of
" Your very obliged and grateful servant , "John Frost . " " PS . Mandarin , near the Cape of Good Hope , May 1 , 1840 . I expected to forward the letter before this , by some ship bound for England , but we have met with none ; we are now , as is supposed , within a week ' s sail of the Cape , from which the letters will be forwarded . Tbe passage has hitherto been remarkably fine , and in ; ' health and spirits are as good as cau be expected . " To Mr . George Rogers . High-street , " Bloomsbury , London . " [ The reading of the previous extracts was listened to with profound attention , interrupted only by occasional groans and hisses , as tbe brutal , nay , fiendish , treatment experienced by Frost and his companions at tbe hands of the authorities was adverted to . ]
Air by the band— " The Exile . " Th « next toast -was— " The incarcerated victims of political and religious tyranny ; and may they be speedily liberated . " Mr . Sankky felt confident that this was a toast which would be responded to by this numerous assembly with feelings of sympathy for those who were now suffering under a political and religious persecution unparalleled in the annals of the history of this country . ( Cheers . ) He would say that never did tbe Tories , in the height of their power , inflict greater cruelties upon those who fell within their grasp , than the Whigs were now inflicting under the guise of prison discipline upon such men as Vincent , Carrier , Feargus O'Connor , &c ( Loud and continued cheering . )
He ( Mr . Sankey ) could have wished that the members for tho borough had remained , as he would have told them that it -was in their power to put a stop to this state of things . If the t-wenty-nine , "who voted for M r . Buncombe ' s motion , would go to tbe minbtry and tell them that , by their conduct , they had forfeited ali claims to tbeir support , aud that henceforth they would make it their sole object to remove them from office , be assured , before three weeks would elapse , the Whigs would alter their line of policy . ( Loud cheering . ) The cry of the "Tories are coming , " should no longer be used as a cakhword , fit only to frighten children . The power of the people , if exerted to turn out the
Whigs , would bo equally efficacious to restrain the Tories . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Sankey gladly availed himself of this opportunity to preuent to William Lovett and John Collins , in tlo name of his constituents , the staunch men of Edinburgh , the warm expression of tboir feelings for the sufferings they bod undergone . John Collins was personally known to them for hia unwearied advocacy of tbe cause , in his visits to the north , while William Lovett was associated with him in . their sympathies . Mr . Sankey then renewed the invitation , which was embodied in the address of the iuh ibitanta of Edinburgh , presented by him to John Collins at the Birmingham Demonstration , and sat down amid loud cheering .
Air by the band— " Those we ' ve ltft behind us . " Mr . Collins bad been solicited to propose a toast whli-h he was sure would be responded to with pleasure by every gentleman present . No man felt more deeply than himseif the importance of making tbe fenmlea intelligent on all political subjects . They had read , doubtkss , of a certain woman who went to an unjust judge , crying" Avenge me of mine enemies !" but he , being a man who feared not God , and regarded not man , turned a deaf ear to her entreaty ; again ,
however , she went to him , crying , " Avenge me of mine enemies ! " and again , for t ' , e third and the fourth time , until he exclaimed " Confound this woman ! 1 must do something with her ! " and by her importunity she procured a redress of her grievances . This would be a lesson for the women of England ; let them make a decent little clmuour for the Charter , and it would be as much owing to tbeir importunity and perseverance , as , to any other cause , that they should be indebted for the Charter , whenever they were successful in obtaining it The toast he bod to propose , therefore ,
was" Tho ladies who have honoured us -with their presence—may they be ever forward in the cause of liberty . " Air— " Let the tout be , dear woman . " Mr . Neesom , who came forward after repeated calls from the osstmbly , said he felt much pleased with the opportunity this afforded him of seeing in the faces of Lovett and Colling two faces that Whigs . Tories , and sham-Radicals had iu rain tried to turn from the cause of the working classes . It would doubtless give pain to some of these mushroom politicians wbo were so very nice on occasions of this kind , that he should be permitted to address them for a few moments ; bnt he would tell the members of the present House of Commons , that Universal Suffrage is what we want , and what we will have . He concluded an animated address , that was much applauded , by proposing - ' The health of Feorgns O'Connor , Esquire , " with all * the honours .
The toast was received with every demonstration of attachment and respect , and was responded to by Citizen Geokge , a veteran reformer ot fifty-eight years' standing , who , though seventy-two years of age , hoped to live to see the Charter the law of the land , and he would tell them that if they would unite and persevere , they must be free . Mr . George , in conclusion , proposed tbe health of all who have been incarcerated for the cause of the Charter . A vote of thanks was passed to Mr . Hetherington , and the assembly separated ; the greater portion to the ball-room , where the festivities were prolonged till a late hour .
[ Our correspondent cannot close his report , without adverting t « the remarkable fact , that , with tho exception of the Sun , not one of the morning press of the metropolis even so much as noticed this highly important assembly ; although double tickets and every other possible facility were afforded to the reporters from the respective establishments . Indeed , the representative of the Northern Star feels that he baa just reason to complain of the flagrant departure from the ruling principle of equality , which characterised the conductor some of theatewards . What has the Northern Star done , that an inferior act of courtesy , ia the first place , should be manifested towards its representative ? Why was its correspondent removed from the cross table , where be bud been placed by one portion of the stewards , by tbe subsequent order of another portion , to a situation whore he wa exposed to all kinds of
annoyance and insults , persons crossing the table at the point where he sat , trampling on his note-book , compelled to bear insolent jests connected with his avocation , and not perm tted the ordinary privilege of any other guest , of removing his quarters , while other reporters were accommodated with seats at the eras table , near the chair ? We con tell the committee , or rather that portion wbo , for reasons best known to themselves , hate the very name of all connected with the Northern Star , that we owe them no thanks for having been able to procure the present report ; and we beg them to save them-Belves the trouble of transmitting invitations for any occassion that they may be concerned in for the future . Our deepest obligations are due to Mr . R . Moore , the secretary , for bis politeness ; . some of his brother committee-men might profit by bis example . —The London Correspondent of the Northern Star . ]

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —MOnday , August 3 . Mr . Trotter , the now Member for West Surrey , took tbe oaths and his seat Lord Saudon presented petitions against the traffic in opium , and gave notice that next session he should submit a motion to the effect that the East India Company should be precluded from engaging in any traffic in opium . Lord J . Russell ( after several orders had been disposed of ) moved that the House , at its rising , do adjourn till twelve t > "dock on Tuesday . The sittings are to be continuous , so as to give the " go by" to several Important notices , the first being Lord Ashley ' s , regarding factories . . The report of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill ( No . 1 ) was agreed to , and the bill ordered to be read the third time on Tuesday .
On the report of the Postage Duties . 4 c . Bill , Mr . Hume inquired whether any progress bad been made in correspondence with America and other countries , to induce them to reduce their rates of postage in accordance with the reductions In this country ? Lord Palmereton answered in the negative , adding , that other countries were waiting to see the result of the experiment here—an announcement that caused some merriment A new writ was ordered , on the motion of Mr . E . J . Stanley , for Waterford county , in the room of J . Power , Esq ., who has accepted a stewardship of tbe Chiltern Hundreds . .
The consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Municipal Corporations ( Ireland ) Bill , called forth a good deal of desultory conversation . Mr . H . Grattan proposed to strike out the Lords' amendment respect-Ing the Recorder of Dublin ; but that motion was not pressed , Lord J . Russell denying that the clause had been framed with the view of keeping the Recorder of Dublin out of that Heuse . That amendment of the Lords was therefore retained ; but others were amended or rejected , and a committee was appointed to draw up reasons why sundry of their Lordships' amendments should not be agreed to . Mr . Aglionby , at the suggestion of Lord J . Russell , deferred bin motion regarding Feargus O'Connor till Wednesday . Lord Sandon brought forward the case of fifty-two Poles , who did not derive benefit from the Parliamentary grant His Lordship wished that they ahould be included in its operation .
Tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer said that he could do nothing without the sanction of a vote of that House The sum voted was for a specific object , and could not include those individuals . Sir F . Burdott and several members warmly urged the consideration of the case of these individuals on Government . Tuesday , August i . : The House met at twelvo o ' clock , and held a continuous sitting until they were " counted out" between six and seven o'clock . On the order , of the day for the third reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill , Mr . Hume took a review of the " labours" of the session , and complained that matters were now much worse than they used to be ; that the Ministers were worse ; and that the representation was worse . He entered his protest against the policy of the Government , particularly as regarded the finances .
The bill—the speech being neither noticed nor answered—was then read the third time and passed ; as were the Postage Bill , and several other bills . On the third reading of the Ecclesiastical Courts BUI , Mr . T . Duncombe presented a petition from John Thorogood , -who , after thanking the Government for their efforts to promote his release , expressed his conviction that , in consequence of a resolution adopted at Chelmsford , the bill would be of no avail ; and he , therefore , prayed the adoption of some measure that should secure the release . Dr . Lushington said he had drawn the bill , which he cen 8 idered would effect the object sought ; and he , therefore , hoped It would pass . The bill was read the third time , leaving ( we believe ) the question that it do pass for consideration , in order to ascertain whether any amendment may be requisite .
Lord Ashley moved an address to the Crown for on inquiry into the various branches of trade and manufacture in which numbers of children work together , with a -view to collect information as to their ages ) the time allowed for their meals , their treatment , and the effects of their employment oh their morals and health . He brought forward this motion , he said , in no spirit of hostility to any interest Few were acquainted with the extent to which the energies of infant life are occupied and exhausted by these toils . The branches of manufacture and other business in whioh children were engaged were many and various . There were some upon which they were employed twelve , and even sixteen hours , in a day ; others at which they were sometimes actually worked fer two o »
three successive nights . Of their sufferings he read evidence in detail , exhibiting a fearful picture of distress , disease , distortion of body , and depravation of mind . He cited instances , too , of parents who borrowed money upon the pledged labour of their children , and let them to the lender to work out the debt—a species of legalised slavery . In order to shew the injurious eftvets of the excessive labour induced by the competition of the manufacturers , be cited some returns furnished to him from France , which presented a very disadvantageous view of manufacturing , as compared with agricultural labour , in Its effects upon tbe human frame . It was necessary to make into this
inquiry subject , not only for the benefit of the children , but for the credit of the employers , and for the sake ot the state , whose welfare must mainly depend upon the physical and moral condition 6 r its manufacturing population . But tbe babit ^ of these infant labourers disqualified and even disabled them from the industry which should maintain them in maturer life ; and their heated workshops , inducing violent thirst , begot a destructive habit of intemperance . He appealed to the clergy to propagate these warnings from their pulpits . He wished to make known the extent of the evil , and then , be believed , there would ba found in this country wisdom and ingenuity enough to devise the remedy .
Mr . F . Maule , on the part of the Government , bavins acquiesced , . The motion was carried . Mr . Hume then rose to bring forward a motlen for Mr Wallace , but it was movbd that the House be counted , and it was counted out .
