Mr . Pkxeb Thokntoh was unanimously called to "the chair , who opened the meeting in an able address , in which be ably depicted the miseries endured by the working classes , and pointed out the Charter as the remedy . He concluded by introducing Mr . Jahn Adam , the able ud efficient Secretary of the " Forfar Universal Suffrage Association , ** to present an address Irom the people ta , Messrs . Collins and White . After -the address had been presented ,

      Mr . White spoke at some length , in the course of which he went through the principles of tke Chartershowed the Tn * Tma » in which the energies of the people bad been crushed by Whig and Tory misrule , and forcibly urged on the meeting the necessity of union and energy . He advised them to support the Chartist press , and to co-operate with , and support , the Central Committee of Glasgow , and retired amidst hearty cheers . Mr . Colliss then addressed the meeting in his nssal calm and argumentative style , laid bare the rottenness of the present unjust system , and answered the objections which an generally made against the Charter . He concluded amidst the loud and repeated cheers of the meeting . Mr . 6 &AHAH , of Erriemuir , then moved ,

      " That a petition be presented to Parliament in favour « f the Peoples' Charter . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Pattiksow , of yrwiPTrmfo A second resolution , in favour of the banished Welsh patriots , and those incarcerated for the peoples cause , ' was moved by Mr . Tytler , of Latham , and seconded by Mr . Q . Adam , of Forfar . Thanks having been voted the Chairman , three cheers were given for the " Charter , " " Feargus O'Connor , " " the incarcerated Chartista , " Frost , Williams , and Jones , fee . kc , when the meeting again ¦ formed into a procession , and conducted Messrs . Collins and White to Morrison ' s Hotel , where a dinner had been provided for them and the Committee . Thus ended one of the most numerous and enthusi-Utae displays ever witnessed in the town of Forfar .

      A SOCIAL MEETING Was announced in the bills to take place in the evening ; and such was the eagerness of the people , that the largest hall which could be procured was esvuimed full half an boor before the time appointed for the commencement of business . The committee were , therefore , obliged to hire another , which was well attended . Mr . John Adam presided at the large hall , and Mr . John Miller at the other , A band of music was engaged for each place , which contributed much to the entertainment of t&e evening .

      Mr . White proceeded to one hall , and Mr . Collins te the other ; and after they had addressed the people on the usual topics , they exchanged places , which arrange ment gave general satisfaction . In the course ef the evening a pair of gloves each was presented to Messrs . Collins and White , as a testimonial of respect , from the Female Chartist Association . An address from the inhabitants of Kirriemuii wu also presented to the above gentlemen , by Mr . Colvflle , who was expressly sent for that purpose . Several songs were sung in excellent style , and spirited addresses delivered by Messrs . Collins , White , Tytler , A 4 am , and others . The meetings separated , well pleased with the evening proceedings . The men and -women of Forfar have proved their devotisn to the Charter in the most unequivocal manner , and have nobly done their duty . -

      BBBCBXN . —According to previous arrangement , an open carriage was despatched from Brtchin to meet Messrs . Collins and White at Freiockhim , where they arrived by the Forfar railway at two o ' clock . They immediately proceeded on their journey , and were met Within a mile of Breehin by a procession of the oppressed hand-leom weavers of that place , but their poverty , or the threats of their masters , had no effect on these victims of misrule . As the procession approached the town , they were joined by a large number of their fellow-workmen ; but not one solitary middle-daw man or shopkeeper was to be seen , a good season for which may be found in the fact that they are under the fatherly protection of Lord Panmure , sire to that pink of nobility , the Honourable Fox Mania . The shopkeepers of this Whig-ridden town are proverbial

      for their slavish subserviency to their charitable landlord , who is described by the weavers as a regular walking swill-tab , whose weight is calculated to be twenty-four stone . Although labouring under great difficulties , the honest fustian jackets determined to shew their hatred of tyranny , and their love to the principles of the Charter . A large Hall was engaged for the meeting , which was held at eight o'clock in tke evening . Messrs . Collins and White addressed them ¦ en their -wrongs and sufferings , pointed oat the cause , And referred them to the Charter as the only remedy . Thanks having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting separated . On the following evening , an address "Was delivered by Mr . White , to a crowded and attentive audience . Chartism is progressing rapidly in Urechin , SX 3 MTB . OSE . —The Chartists of this spirited and ^ ruly democratic town -were on the qui rfee for the last week , preparing to receive the advocates of the Charter . Oommittees met from day te day to make the necessary arrangements .

Peter's , at halfpast two o ' clock , pjn ., and proceed from thence te IiOfthwde , where it would be joined by deputations

      from Luthermuir , Lawreneekirk , Johoshaven , 4 c ., and proceed on the Breehin road , to meet the " people ' s ! friends . " As the day threatened to be rather stormy , a j covered carriage , with a deputation , was sent to Breehin i to convey them . At a quarter-past three o ' clock , the carriage arrived at fee toll-bar , where a large concourse of people swatted its arrival . The procession then opened and made a passage for the carriage to pass to | the head , cheering heartily as it passed along . The procession thea proceeded to the town in the following order : — Biehards asd Co . * s naxdressers , with emblems of ther trade . Tri-eoloured flag : Motto- " Collins audM'Douail , the persecuted patriots . " Beveoe— "For a nation to be free it is sufficient that she wills it . Moutrose flute band . Biehards and Ce .

      SOIREE . At half-past six o ' clock , the Hall was filled with deeently-dressed working men and their wives and sweethearts , to have an evening of social enjoyment , and to do honour to their patriotic friends . Mr . Lbggett was called to the chair , who , in a brief address , opened the business of the evening . He stated that this was the first time he had ever attempted to address so large an assembly , and he hoped they would overtook any imperfections that might be seen in him ; and although he was unable to address them at any great length , he was sure that what he wanted in inability , he would makeup in will , and bis ardent attachment to the cause alone could induce > ijth to occupy the situation he then did .

      After tea and other refreshments had been served by the stewards , seTBral patriotic songs were given , and the Caledonian Band played several favourite airs . Mr . Collins then addressed the meeting , and , in a most eloquent speech , vindicated the principles of the Charter . Mr . White then addressed the meeting upon the condition of the working classes of this country , and contrasted their condition with the working classes of other countries , and proved that the condition of the people of Britain was worse than that of almost any other country in the world . The evening was spent in a most agreeable and hannonitua manner , and all seemed anxious to do what they could to

      heighten the enjoyment , by giving songB and recitations . At the conclusion of the meeting , votes Of thanks were moved to Messrs . White and Collinf , and to the Chairman , 'which were most heartily responded to . Mr . Collins then moved three cheers to the ladies , for' their kindness in gracing the meeting with their presence , and in a long but truly eloquent speech , refuted the objections generally urged against women taking part in political movements , which called forth the hearty plaudits of the meeting . Three cheers were tken given for Feargus O'Connor and all the imprisoned Chartists , three for the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , three for the Charter , and the meeting separated , highly gratified with the whole proceedings .

      TO THE COMMITTEE AT BIRMINGHAM FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE EXIUBD PATRIOTS , FROST , WILLIAMS , AKD JONES . . Fellow-citizens , —We hail with delight the position taken by yourselves and townsmen , for the restoration of the brave Welsh martyrs to their homes and families . -U The exertions of the men of Birmingham carried Hie Reform BUI for the middle classes , aad drove the Duke from the helm of affairs , and placed the deceitful Whigs in full possession of power ; how they have used their authority the heads of your fellow-towns men have had full experience from the bludgeons of their ruffian pwlicemen . From Holloway Head you declared the Reform Bill must become the law of the land , and it was soon ear ried by the united exertions of the people .

      At Holloway Head , our glorious Charter was agreed to ; the proposition fora Convention , National Pettti » n and National Rent , was agreed to . The industrious classes from ail parts of Great Britain boldly responded to your call , and were it not for the treachery and cowardice of the traitors , in whom the men of Birmingham confided the management of their affairs , the Charter would hare been the law of tbe land era now . Let the experience of the pastiaaehmm a useful lesson how to proceed la fnture : let tt 4 ^»« 3 |; -i ^ lMV qrder .-aad amongst our own ranks for leaders . Tne m& > * m geM » have tested iU Intefcritf ^ of hundreds , -who -were denounced by the * Whig and Tory journalists as spies and ¦ deceivers .

      The Whig Inquisition baa fully convinced the sons of labour that we have amongst us noble spirits , who can , if a hurricane ahould arise , " mount the Whirlwind and guide the storm . " Your gallant townsman , Collins , has proved himself well worthy the confidence of our order , by his manly display at Holloway Head , in unmasking the Russo-humbug conspiracy . Had they succeeded in sending forth from Holloway Head their deep-laid scheme , . we doubt not but our Chartist movement would have been impeded for awhile . Thanks to the Editor or the Northern Star , and all our good men and true , the impostors have been baffled in their attempt to split our ranks ; divide and conquer always been the tyrants' motto .

      The announcement in hut week ' s Northern Star of your intention to hold a public meeting at Holloway Head , on New Year ' s Day , must be highly gratifying to all the friends of the exiled patriots . That announcement has induced us to address you on the present oecasion , and to request of you to adopt the teetotal pledge , or some other measure , that will induce the friends of the brave Welsh martyrs , to give np the use of exciseable commodotiea , as far as is practicable , until they are restored to their homes and families . We are decidedly of opinion that if one million of Chartists would abstain from the use of ale and spirits , for about six months , it would have more weight with the occupants of the Treasury benches than all the begging petitions we could send from now until doomsday .

      If our hard-hearted oppressors can be moved to justice , by the petitions and sufferings of their fellowcreatures , a diminished exchequer would make them feel our power , most sensibly , when they called for their quarter ' s salary . Money is the sinews of war ; and whilst we supply our tyrants with means of oppressing us , we need not expect to obtain justice at their hands . Men of Birmingham , we earnestly hope these suggestions may meet with your approval If you will adopt our recommendation , and send it forth from Holloway Head on New Tear's Day , we donbt not but the country will respond to your call , as they have done on all former occasions .

      We have taken our stand amongst those who are determined never to relax in their exertions until the victims are restored to their homes and families , and we ourselves are in possession of our glorious Charter . We remain yours in the spirit of fraternity , the Mansfield Committee for the restoration of all the exiled patriots , Henrt De Courct . John Hamilton . Thos . Scott . Thos . Dutton . Mansfield , Not . 16 . 1840 .

      ROCHDALE . —Tins National Charter Association . —On Sunday afternoon last , Mr . Tillman , Secretary to the Executive Council , delivered a lengthened a powerful address to an excessively crowded audience . The principles set forth were just , sound , and conclusive ; proving by a reference to returns , laying before the House of Commons , and statistical tables from the writings of the immured philosopher , Bronterre O'Brien , that by existing institutions , the labourers and artisans were

      annually robbed of three-fourths of their produce . He concluded a thrilling and soul-stirring peroration on behalf of poor Peddie , whose sufferings in Beverley Inquisition have no parallel in the rampant days of Toryism . The unvarnished tale of woe , related by Tillman of this unfortunate man , is revolting in the extreme . My sonl sickens at the bare recital of the facts , and with Lear I exclaim , " Are there no stones in heaven , but that are made for thunder . ' Let every Chartist Association in Britain at oncd and immediately adopt petitions .

      BRADFORD . —The Chabtist Co-operative Society . —The members of thia society met on Sunday morning last , and finished drawing up the rules , which they will have enrolled and printed as speedily as possible . The shares are five shillings each ; and the contributions threepence per week ; and it is presumed the small sum for admission , and the short time before a member becomes free , will be an inducement to the working classei to join their ranks . Their meetings will be held every Monday night ( until other netice ) at Mr . George Ellis ' s , opposite Dead-lane Top , Goodmansend , whose house is open every Sunday , from ten o ' clock in the morning till ten o ' clock at night , for the purpose of reading thu Northern Star , &c &c ., and holding discussions .

Bishop in the cbair . After the members had paid in their weekly contributions and a number of new ones admitted , two letters were read by the secretary ione written by Mr . Joseph Hume , M . P . i from the World , Dublin paper , of the 7 th

      of November , in which Hume declares that nothing is to be obtained from the high church party of England , unless they are afraid of physical force , and that he believes Dan to be in error in his agitation for the Repeal ; and says , that he ought to erganise his thousands to go for the Charter . This is well of Hume . The other was from Mr . Peter Shorrocks , Secretary of the Relief Committee of Manchester , to Mr . Henry Burnett , with a post-office order for £ 5 , to be equally distributed amongst the suffering families of the imprisoned Chartists of Bradford . Resolutions were then passed , and Mr .

Allen Davenport , being introduced by the Chairman , proceeded to deliver a lecture on the production and distribution of wealthy the principles of government , aad the education of the people , ( for which he received a vote of thanks ) . The lecturer stated he had been a Radical for a considerable number of years , and consequently a Chartist ; but although the greatest part of his lecture was very instructing , If was evident be could not refrain from directing his hearers to the one

      thing needful , as he thought ( being a Socialist , as well as a Chartist ) namely , the possession of the land . Mr . Parker said , with respect to the lecturer , that he did not agree with the whole of what he said . For his own part he knew very little of the system of Socialism , but he knew it te be a wrong impression . If they { the Socialists ) thought that they could obtain possession of the land under the present franchise , Universal Suffrage alone would enable tbem to obtain and retain it ; and therefore the struggle , now bo admirably prospering to obtain the Charter , should be our Alpha and Omega . Mr . Henderson next addressed the meeting ; after which , it was agreed upon that a general meeting of the members should take place the following evening , to elect the Council for the city division to act for the

      state of things ; and , my life for it , he will cry , ¦«? Onward , onward i" Some iof our wouM-be-friends say that we have miffered a . defeat ; if ao > where are the trophies of « f victory ? " Why , " some would say , "in the prisons : " but that Is fallacy ; because sending a man to prison is not the way to convince him that he has done wrong . No , ne ! you may keep up- your spirits on that account ; for that love of liberty which gets a man into prison -mil comfort him when ke Is there . The only thing which can break his heart is , when the people forget their rights , which isnot likely to be the case with you , my friands .

      Men of Brown-street , you may rest assure * that anything short of Universal Suffrage , will never sake you one jit bettor than you are . If the cowardly Whigs were to offer you another of their Reform BHfla , what good wouI 3 . it do your Why , just as much as- thelast did ; which is i * se at all , yet quite as much as they intended . Sinee my imprisonment ,: strange things have come to pass . Some men have got it into their heads that we are" going to be sold or delivered over to the hands of the Russian autocrat . But , my , friends , never mind Russia , or any any other part . let us suppose that all was true that these timorous gentlemen advance What is that either to you or me ? Our rulers treat us like slaves \ can Russia , or any nation , make us worse ? No ; then , in

      Ged ' s name , let them come ! But , friends , be not frightened out of your movement for the Charter by any such trash . You cannot do better than you are doing , by sending out some of your own men to spread tke principles of Chartism through the land . Proceed , and the day is not far distant when you will reap tbe fruits of your labour . Yon have good men and true ; let them go forth to all the towns , villages , and hamlets , and then your strength will increase every day . My friends , it gives me great pleasure to say that our Governor and turnkeys are very good men ; and , taking all for all , our time goes on very well .

It was then resolved" That a Committee be formed to act with the men of Tib-street , to carry out the demonstration on New Year's Day , for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones .

      " That this meeting recommend the Executive Council of tbe National Charter Association to address the nation on the subject of foreign policy , as recommended by the editor of the Northern Star . "

      On Thursday forenoon , the inquest on the body of Mrs . Sarah Cousens was resumed at the Town Hall , Selby , before M . Pearson , Esq ., Coroner , and the Jury . John Wa . kin 8 , the engine-driver of the luggagetrain on the night of the accident , stated , in addition to his previous evidence , " If we had three stoppages of two minuteseach in any given space , I think we should lose three miles , but it depended altogether upou circumstances . I am fifty-three years of age ; my eye-sight is not impaired , but equally strong as it ever was . About two years ago I made an experiment and was able to discover the whole of the seven stars . . I never could see more than six of

      them when I was young . It is my duty to keep a look out to see that all ia clear on the road . ' That depends entirely upon me . I think I was going at the regular train speed—about eighteen miles an hourwhen I saw the red light . When we left the Derby line near Methley , the pointman at the slip exhibited a green light , which 1 saw at some distance . The station-master at Burton Salmond did not show a green light . The lights which were white I supposed to be the lanterns the men had in their hands ; but on coming up , I found one was the fire in the fixed grate , and another was the light in front of an engine . I remained on the engine during the eoncussion , as I was in hopes it would not do much harm , the engine having been reversed . The engine

      went into the first carriage , which it raised up . I think I could have seen a red light that night at above 200 yards , as I saw the white lights distinctly above that distance off . There was a guard behind the luggage train ; there was not a break on the carriage on whioh he was . If there had been a break , I doubt he would | uot have had time to render me any service . It is customary tor all men to learn engineering before they » re entrusted to drive an engine . It looked to me as it' a passenger had been standing incautiously before the red light , as immediately I perceived it , I observed the shade pass to the north Bide . It was impossible for tho steam from any engine to observe the light . I did not keep any time ; 1 do not know what time it was when 1 passed the last station . I thought , 1 111 * ? ¦• ... B < m *\ *

      . * having a light load , I should go train speed , keeping clear of all danger . I was aware a London train would soon follow me . When at the Leeds station , 1 remember Mr . Peacock coming to me and saying I might go away when I was ready , and make the best of the way that I could . Mr . Peacock also said another luggage train would follow me in about half an hour . We have no fixed speed for running the luggage trains . By a Juror—There is a danger in running trains across points , aud therefore additional points would cause greater danger . It is our practice to go easily through the points . Mr . Cabry was again called , and in answer to a Juror he stated that it was impossible to have additional slips without interfering with the main liue , aud the greater the number of slips , the greater the danger . I think an elevated and stationary red light would be advantageous .

      There being no other witnesses to examine , the Coroneb summed up the evidence at great length . He observed that railways were now patronised by the publio both in £ uglaud and on the continent of Europe . By the ingenuity of man , carriages were made to go at such a tremendous speed that they almost vied with the feathered tribe , but they could uot have that freedom from danger which the feathered tribe had—for the latter passed with quickness m the atmosphere unobstructed by substance . It therefore must necessarily follow that there should be danger and accidents . The only question for the Jury to consider was , whether the accident had arisen from the culpaoie ncghgeuoe , or the want of prudent and proper arrangements of the directors or their servants . With regard to the directors , he could only say that they had been at great

      trouble and inconvenience in bringing witnesses , aud he believed they had not kept behind anything that could be brought forward for the elucidation and explanation of the matter . The Coroner then read over the whole of the evidence , which occupied him nearly an hour . He then observed that lie left the charge a 3 against Watkins entirely out of the question , as there really was nothing to charge him criminally . It' there had been wanton carelessness or drunkenness , it would have been his duty to have told them that Watkins would be criminally responsible for neglect of duty , and would be liable to punishment . One gentleman , holding the same official situation as himself , had lately argued the contrary ; but whether right or wrong , he should have felt it his duty to have told them that

      it' the accident had occurred from wanton carelessness , inattention , idleness , or drunkenness , that man would have been criminally responsible to the laws of his country . But in this case , be thought that point would not arise for their consideration . With respect to the other matter , though the stri « t law as to deodand was this , that whatever is the moving cause of the death of a party , becomes forfeited to tne Crown , yet it has invariably been an opinion hold by jurors , which has guided them in tne exercise of their discretion , and which seems to be sanctioned by the courts above , that according to the neglect , or want of necessary caution , should be the amount of the deodaud levied . He said that

      thia"opinion seemed to be sanctioned by the courts above , because there had been a great number of cases in which juries had found trifling deodands upou very valuable articles—so much eo , as not to bear any comparison with their real value . Applications had been made , both ou the part ot the Crown , and ou th < s part of Lords of Manors , to whom deodands had been assigned , to increase thtt amount , but the courts above had invariably refused to increase the deodands above the find ing of tho jury . He therefore repeated that the amount of deodand was kit entirely to the discretion of the Jary . The Court above would act take that point into consideration—all they would do would be to examine whether in the inquisition , the

      Anxi-Slaverv Meeting at Norwich . —Under this head the Times gives a three-column report of a meeting held m that city , for forming a f °° X , fftr the suppression of the slave trade . The High Sheriff presided , and the Bishop of Norwich , Lady Suffleld , Sir T . F . Buxton . Bart ., Mr .. Weyland , M . P ., Mr . Wodehotfse , M . F ., and a largo assemblage of wealth of the city and county were present . The Chartists mustered , too , in great numbers ; and afeer the Bishop of Norwich had moved Ithe first resolution , Mr . Dover in an admirable speech ( from which we regret we have not room this week ) , moved the following amendment :-r

      That this meeting views with deep regret the many proofs of despotic slavery at home , and pledges itself to use all exertions to put a final stop to slavery wherever it is found to exist . " ( Loud and general plaudits from the Chartist party . ) Mr . Thomas Hewitt , a "fustian jacket , " having seconded the amendment , the Venerable Archdeacon Bathurst , by way of conciliating the working men , moved the following amendment : "That this meeting , while it warmly advocates the rights of humanity by the exertions this day made to form an auxiliary society for the suppression of the slave trade , and the civilization of Africa , does hereby express a hope that this auxiliary society , when formed will , together with the institution latel

      y formed in London , take every opportunity of holding out to those who have in the British colonies been already redeemed from slavery by the generosity of the British public , the baunden duty of those so redeemed to make the only return in their power for the benefits conferred on them , while so many distresses amid the British people require alike the aid of publio and jfcivate beneficencenamely , by the kindliest feeling towards their employers , by the most zealous industry and interest in their employers' welfare , and by a docile and respectful demeanour towards those whose bread they eat , and whom they , by their own voluntary agreement , serve . " The High Sheriff then proceeded , in the midst of great confusion , to take a show of hands . Archdeacon BaftemVamendment fell to the ground for

      want ota seconder , and on the show being taken for the original resolution and Mr . Dover ' s amendment , the numbers appeared to bo tolerably equal . The High Sheriff , however , declared it to be his decided opinion that the majority of the meeting was in favour of the original resolution . This announcement was productive of increased tumult , which continued without cessation throughout the remainder of the meeting . The High Sheriff declared all the subsequent resolutions carried without their being put , even the speakers who proposed them being inaudible from the yells and hisses of the workies : Sir Thomas F . Buxton ( says the Times ) after a partial and momentary hearing , resumed his Beat amidst the strongest demonstration pf chagrin and disappointment ; and after a vote of thanks had been sug ~ gested to the Chairman by Lord Colborne , the meeting separated in the greatest uproar and confusion .

The Royal Cradle . —About three weeks since , an order was transmitted from the Board of Green Cloth , to Messrs . Seddons , upholsterers to her Majesty , to design and make the cot and two baths for the expected scion of her illustrious house . The talents and ingenuity of the designer of the establishment , a distinguished French arntfo , were accordingly called into operation ; and a day or two after a drawing was forwarded to the Palace for tke inspection of her Majesty and her Royal

      consort , who were graciously pleased to signify their approval of the elegance aud taste which had been displayed , and to order the completion of these most useful appendages of a nursery with all possible despatch .

The canopy is finely scalloped , and huag with silk drapery of the same desigm as the lining . The whole is gilt , and surmounted with tha royal crown , and represents a tout ensemble at once classic and unique . The baths are not yet finished , but are being expedited as rapidly as possible-, and it is understood that one will be lined with Bilver and the other with matble . —From the official organ < of the most " vigorous Government" of the " nest thinking people" in the world !
