But since the peace , tbe office did not pay the Bpeuei of keeping it up ; my uncle having always to previse fora certaia namber of clerks , and other exyeana .

So many being disappointed , the large Ball , in the Mason ' s ^^ **? "' Sf ° P ened » ^ d * » a few minutes , was also filled . The speakers divided themselves , aad as each finished hia address to the one meeting retired asd addressed the other also .

      A Dumber of patriotic sentiments were siren . » ad spofcea to » t each meeting . Mr . M / Ceba , as Chairuan , gave . in an animated address , - Feargns O'Connor , the advocate of Universal Safiage /* which was received in a masner that might have convinced the dirty WhigB thai their brntal treatment of that « entlem * a 0 * 3 had onlj the effect of endearing him to the people .

      -After passing a resolution , pledging support to the Central Comma ** , Jar Sootland . and agreeing to memorialue her Majesty for the restoration of Frost , Williams , aad Jones , aad the li beration of the state prisoners , Mr .

      oddonents of political equality , and manfully contending for the rights of the people . Mr . White was warmly applauded throughout his address . Collins and White then retired to the other Hall , aad Dr . M'Dooall and others then retired to the other meeting . The hilarity was kept up until a late hoar in both places . Mr . Duncan , Mr . Halliday , and others delivered speeches of the real Badieal sort . After the business had been gone through , the meeting separated in the most orderly manner , highly delighted with the day ' s proceedings .

      SABBATH . It barring been made known that Mr . Collins was to preach in Mr . M'Crea ' a church , in the forenoon , it was crowded to excess , many not being able te gain admission . Mr . Collins preached a most nxftftllwnt sermon to a meet attentive audienoe . At the conclusion of service it was intimated thai Mr . John Duncan , of Edinburgh , would preach in the same place in the afternoon , and Dr . M'Douall in the evening , and that the collections for the whole day was to be given to Mn . Frost .

      ATTESKOOH . Long before the bells had oeased ringing , the chapel was filled , and crowds standing outside who could not get near the door—the numbers still increasing until there was aa many outside as inside . It was resolved to request Mr . Daneaa to preach in the open air , to which he at once assented . The sky was overcast and cloudy , but before Mr . D . had finished the reading of the psalm , the clouds broke up , and the sun shone forth in full splendour , and continued to do so for the remainder of the day . Mr . D . preached from these words , " Lend us , hop * ing for nothing again . " His sermon gave the greatest satisfaction .

      XVEKIKQ . Before the hour appointed for worship , crowd had gathered at the doer of the ohnreb , and H was boos found that something must be done , as so many 'were standing outside , and could not , by any possi bility , . gain admission . It was then resolved that , if Mr . Collins would preach in the hall at the Mason ' s Anna , and the Doctor in the Chartist Church , that that would be the only way to accommodate all . Mr . Collins agreed , and the hall was no sooner opened than it was filled , and still a lew were disappointed . The oaost of Coartinn goes on gloriously in this town . Mr . M * Crea preaches every Sunday , and the fruits of his labours are very visible in Kilbarehan .

      Already , some of the elders of the Relief Chnreh have joined the Christian Chartist Church ; and , as may be expected , the ministers in other churches are not at all pleased at being relieved from tbe presence of so many of their former adherents , not to speak of their seat-rente , < fcc Mr . M'Crea has a day school , where he teaches children . Even those who do not approve of Chartism , see the superiority of Mr . M'Crea ' s system of educating the young , over the old stuoid plan . It is to be hoped that many M'Creas will arise , and preach the Gospel free from superstition or mystery , and that the people will Bee the propriety of supporting those who , ia the face of the world , beard prejudice " to its teeth .

      ¦ ifcUHBAD . On Tuesday evening , these two advocates of universal liberty arrived ' at Barrhead , where they were conducted through the town in an open carriage , with flags , banners , and music . A public meeting was to be held in Mr . MHIefa large hall , but it -irassoon frond to be b ; far too small , and tho meeting iras then held in a large square , at the back of the inn , where resolutions were adopted , determining to support the Central Committee , and to memorialise her Majesty for a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the incar cerated patriots . The meeting was addressed by Collins , "WTiite , and others , in able and T ^ jtrii ffli speeches . GRASD S 0 IRSK .

      Mr . John Whttklaw occupied the chair . Grace being said , and tea arse , the Chairman proceeded to read a eommnsie& tian from Mi . Henry Vincent , Broaterre O'Brien , and B . Peddie , aad remarked strongly upon the manner in which these men weretnated by the Whig Government , and , said he , we have new amongst us two men who have suffered persecution for their advocacy of justice 5 for he would defy any one to show where they had been guilty of any moral crime . ( Load cheers . ) He weuld conclude by introducing Mr . Malcolm , of Qiasnw . to the meeting .

      Mr . Malcolm tbea rose , and was received with applause . He said he was proud to see such a display in favour of Chartism—such displays proved that there was no other way of putting down nhuWwn but by removing the misery that existed ameng the people . ( Loud applause . ) The high paid operative may think he need not trouble hisuelf with politics , bat be woald remind him that , at eae time , the hand-loom weavers were better paid than even the bestpaid amongst them , —( hear and cheers , )—and , he would tell them , that the same causes were aow at work which bseagat down

When silence bad been restored , he proceeded to rebut the charges « t igaoxanea brought a « aii » t tbo people , and severely sasttgated those interested scamps who pocketed such large stuns of the public money for iastruetiag the people , and , after all , taunted them with being Ignorant . 9 nt , said Mr .

When the cheering had subsided , he said he would for a moment draw their attenti on to the National Debt , which be characterised as a most iniquitous imposition upon the people , to say that £ 800 , 000 . 000 had been contracted in order to put down liberty hi other countries , and the starving people of this country taxed to the amount of £ 30 , 000 , 000 annually , la the shape of interest , for a debfcwhlch they never contracted . iCrfes if ¦•* Shame .

      Mr . White contended that the father had no right t « contract debts , and entail the paymeat of them upon his children . ( Cheers . ) He hoped that the people would sea from this the necessity of achieving their liberties , that they might be enabled to protect their own rights , and look after their own interests . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . White said , let ns suppose for a moment , that a great high wall was erected , and that the aristocracy were put on the one side , and the work people on tbe other , what would become of the aristocracy i Why , if we were to get a look over tbe wall , we might expert to sea them quarrelling with each other , as to who was first to commence work i

      As the gentlemen were to return to Glasgow that night , they then took their leave , amid the most rapturous plaudits of the meeting . The hilarity was kept up till a late hour .

On Wednesday , these gentlemen arrived by the canal , where a deputation waa waiting to reoeiTe them in order , and to conduct them to the inn , where amort substantial dinner was provided for them , after partaking of which , the trades turned on in procession with banner * aad music , and after walking through the principal parts of the tows , drew up at the inn door , where the band played some of their most favourite airs . The patriots here joined the procession , when the loud burst of congratulation echoed through the streets . The procession moved to the place of meeting in the following order : — Instrumental band , Dressed in beautiful green jackets and caps , and whit

" A great variety of flags graced the procession .

      The procession having arrrived at the place ef meeting a lend burst of applause was given when tbe patriots ascended the hustings , Mr . Baird was called te the chair . He said that the present state of the country demanded that no man should stand aloof from the movement which was now going on ; be hoped the men of Eirkintilloch would show themselves worthy of their rights by the manner they contended for them . ( Cheers . ) After claiming an impartial hearing for all who might address them , ' he called upoa Mr . Bonald to move the first resolution , pledging the meeting to continue the agitation for the Charter , which being seconded by Mr . Jack , of Glasgow , was unanimously carried . Mr . Colder then moved that the meetlag should pledge themselves to support tbe Central Committee . Mr . J . Duncan seconded the motion ; and on its being put from the chair , was carried unanimously .

      Mr .

Ronald , and agreed to . . The Chairman then caned upon Mr . Robertson , who would present , in the name of the Radicals ef Kirkintilloch , aa address to the two illustriousstrangers , John Collins and George White . Mr . Robertson came forward and read the address , and then pretested it to the two gentlemen , who were standing beside him uncovered .

      Mr . 0 . Whits , in reply , said he felt Tery proud at the manner in which he had been received by the people of Scotland ; wherever he had been the same tokens of respect had been paid him ; and he trusted that the effect npon himself would be . that he should double bis exertions in the cause of the people . ( Cheers . ) He had been imprisoned for doing his duty—be had never done an injury to any maabut he had strenuously contended for those rights which he believed would defend the widow , and protect the fatherless .

      abandon our agitation for the Charter , to follow these gentlemen in a wild-goose chase to bring to the block the head of one traitor ? or , to remove from office ar Ministry , whose places would be filled by a gang equally as vile as those deprived of power ? No ! let us seek the downfall of the system which permits such men to rale ; eo far from being an argument in favour of oar abandoning the agitation for the Charter , I hold that the msl-admiuiatration of foreign affairs by our rnUw , is a most weighty and important reason wh y we should persevere in oar demands for the elective franchise . If Messrs . Ur ^ uhart and Attwood are honest men , if they are sincerely devout m saving the couatry , let them give their aid and influeuce to the working classes in

      their present struggle to redeem themselves from slavery . than which , wowe could scarcely be imposed upon them by Persian despot , or Russian Czar ; if they will not do this , We cannot trust them ; despite their professions , we must doubt their sincerity . Let us , my friends , have our Charter . Let us be recognised by the State . Let us have a country in reality worth fighting for , and we need not , fear the Russian Autocrat , nor all the crowned ruffians of the earth combined . " ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Harney then narrated the particulars of the bombardment of Beyront , denouncing with thrilling effect the wanton butchery of human beings by the handB of British soldiers and seamen . Tn illustration of the profligacies and crimes of war . M . H .

      cited the infamous tax on light , and read a statement of the miliiona of money expended—and millions of hnmaa beings slaughtered In the wars in which Britainhadl ^ R . eujaged during the last hundred and fifty years . MrT » .- then , m glowing colours , deputed the struggles of France to ertabUsh the rights of man ; he gave a cheering account of the rapid progress of Republicanism in France at the present time , and finished with an eloquent and soul-stirring denunciation of the crimes of kings and the horrors of war . Mr . Harney ' s address , whioh occupied nearly two hours and a half in the delivery , was received with repeated bunts of enthusiastic applause : at the conclusion , Mr . H . moved the adoption of the following resolution : —

      ** Wb pbotbst against thb thbbatriosd wab with Fbancb , kecAuse we denounce all war , unless undertaken for national defence , or removal of oppression , as being unjust , anti-Christian , opposed to the revealed will of God , and the dictates of humanity . BecauBe the privations and misery universally felt by the working classes may be iu a great measure ascribed to past wars , entered into by the irresponsible Governments of this country , loading the present generation with enormous debt and grinding taxation : and because war with France , or any other power , must of necessity increase the burdens and add to the distress of the suffering people . Because if war is entered into with France , under the pretext of maintaininsr the inteirritY nt th «

      Turkish empire , such war , instead of attaining that end , can only lead to the ultimate destruction instead of preservation of that empire , by placing Us capital in the hands of Russia . Because we denounce all alliance or connection with Russia , the destroyer of Poland , the invader of Ciroassia , the very incarnation of despotism , and deadly enemy of the rights of mankind . Because we are the natural friends of the French people , and with them should act as the pioneers of European civilization , and the liberators of enslaved humanity . We renew our pledges of fraternity to the people of France—we denounce the Russian alliance of the aristocratical , irresponsible British Government , and ananra nm >

      Gallic brethren that the British people repudiate all connection with the rulers of this country , in the insults offered by the latter to the brave French nation . Convinced that there is no hope of freeing ourselves from political thraldom and social misery —of removing imbecility , or punishing treachery in the management of the affairs of this country , but by making the Government responsible to the governed , we hereby repeat ear determination to turn neither to the right hand or the left in the pursuit of our rights , but to persevere in oar exertions for the obtainment of the franchise , until , whole and entire , the People ' s Charter shall be the law of the land . "

      Mr . John Lxcjob , Chairman of the Charter Union , seconded the resolution . There being no opposition , it was put from the chair , and unanimously passea amidst great applaase . . Three times three tremendous cheers was then gives for the French Republicans , three for the 'Charter , three for Feargus O'Connor , and three for Julian Harney . when the meeting dissolved .

Mr . Gkobgk Bradbvbn was called to the chair . The first resolution was moved by Mr . Joseph Cabtbb , and seconded by Mr . John Rotlb . It was" That , in the opinion of this meeting , it is the bounden doty of the working classes of Stockport to support , by every neans in their power , the wives and families of those friends who are suffering imprison ment ; and that , by ingratitude to them in their absence , the people may not , by a spirit of Indifference , add mental smictiea to their bodily sufferings . ?

      Mr . Thomasson , ef Newcastle , who had been invited to attend , was called upon to support the resolution . He remarked that they could not more effectually support the Charter than by administering comforts to its advocates while incarcerated . Such steps would prove to the Whigs that they were properly attached to their principles , and appreciated the labours

      He _ was sorry to hear that the prisoners had not been better attended to while in prison , and he thought it was a reflection upoa the Radicals « f Stockport , inasmuch aa they had neglected a public daty . ' He remembered the time when Baggsely . Drnmmond , and Johnson were in prieonj they were well provided with everything calculated to make them comfortable ; but he was sorry that those men had not had better support , because it gavo room for the Whigs and Tories to exult : besides , it was the duty of every wan who loved liberty to relieve them—these mea having tiled toget it for the whole of their fellow-craatures .. He was himself the same man that he was at Peterloo t but he thought be would give the Whigs a fair trial . He bad done so ; and found them to be as great rascal * as tb *

      Tories to the working man . ( Hear , hear . ) The Whis Magistrates had sent their fellow-townsmen to Chester , when they might have taken bail , during the turnout ; and Joseph Home had been their friend . Many bad blamed' him for defending Cepptck , Town Clerk ; hut he would denounce hia or any other ""> when he found he acted wrong . Bat . to the question . He hoped that meeting would form a nucleus by which they would endeavour to make their prisoners happy and comfortable . Ho called them his friends , because they had advocated the same principles as he was devoted to . He had viewed the conduct « f the Whigs , and he was sorry that they h&d bekavedso-decdtfully to the working men of Stockport . He said that h * had given bail for one of the prisoners to the tune of

      £ 100 , and he promised them that , his pocket nor hia labours for the future should never be denied thera . H « thought that the notice of the meeting sboujd hav » been made widely circulated , for it was only by chance that he had got to know of it The papers giving the notice should have been placed ia shop windows ( a voice , 'they won't have them' ) j—then , said the speaker , you must not go there to purchase year food , or anythlng they sell—( hear );—and this would briag them to their- tenses , in a peaceful and lawful manner too . He knew that he fairly stunk in the nostrils of the Whigs of that town , because he had exposed the brutal attacks of the bloody police upon the people . He then exhorted the people to mind what they were doing at tho forthcoming Municipal election , and taka care neither to return Whig nor Tory ; because h * would only deceive them . They had tried the Whigs . and they have found that they have betrayed tbe trust reposed in them by the people , ox otherwise they wool *

      not allow that ignorant brute , Hough , police-officer , to use the people as he had done . He then related a circumstance of Hough using a person so badly , * N % when he himself examined hi * truncheon , which he had used oa tbe occasion , it was all hteod , which completely disgusted him . He told the B * raou Jiow to proceed , and then the magistrate was against him . He would some day tell them his name . And as for the Chartists , ( he might have said we ) for he was one himself ; he certainly was no pike aad dagger man , bnt he was a moral-force man , and when the Chartists acted right , he wauld applaud them ; but when they acted wron *' , he would tell them of it He cared nothing about tae Whigs s the wont they could do was to take bis llceass from him ; and h « did not care the flirt et his Inger for that The speaker continued to denounce the Whigs in the most emphatic manner , aad concluded by pledging himself , at tbe first opportunity , to epea such a budget about the rascally Whigs that they were littta
