      The Bermondsey Murder, On Friday, The 2n...

      eonstdtatios . After the lapse of about half an hour they returned , when Lord Chief Justice Wilde deli--vered judgment , stating that it appeared to the court that the woman was properly tried , and that { here was no ground for the objection . _ In the afternoon , shortly after the decision ofthe fidges was known as to the reserved point , information was forwarded to the governor and chaplain cf Horsemonger-lane gaol , so that Maria Manning mightbe made acquainted with the fact , as she has since her condemnation confidently relied on being successful , which has materially buoyed up her spirits . Those functionaries accordingly had an interview with her in her cell , and the reverend chaplain informed ber tbat she must prepare

      herself to meet her Maker , as the sentence pronounced npon her by the judge at her trial wonld be carried Into effect on Tuesday morning next . She seemed extremely surprised at the announcement * and exclaimed , ¦ " That she had been unjustly tried and Convicted , which her unfeeling husband could prove . Be could nnravel the whole of the circumstances relative to the murder , and if ho told the truth it would exculpate her from any participation in the dreadful crime . " She seemed rather excited , at first , but afterwards put ber band to her face , aud cried bitterly . The chaplain exhorted her to employ the few remaining hours she had to live in prayer

      and repentance , and implored her to make a full confession of the crime of which she was convicted . She asserted tbat she was not the party who committed the murder , and she had nothing to confess . It is , however , believed , that now she finds there is no hope for her , she w ' ul make some statement before her execution , and that she will have an interview with her husband . The latter has several tunes expressed bis anxiety to see her , which has been communicated to her . lie continues in a very depressed state , eating hardly anything , although everything he wishes for , consistent with the regulations of the gaol , is afforded him . He occupies all his time in reading religious works and writing

      ( From our Hard Edition of Last Week . ) Important Disclosures . —Some very important disclosures have come to light within the last two days relative to the murder of Patrick O'Connor , which will remove aU doubt as to the guilt of the Mannings . The male prisoner has acknowledged that the pistols used to commit the horrid deed were those found in the possession of Adams , the pawnbroker , of Bermondsey-street , but that tradesman could not swear as to the party who pledged them , although he was in attendance at the Sonthwark Police Court . He ( Manning ) asserts that his wife loaded both pistols , and having ; shot O'Connor with one , presented tho other at him , threatening to serve him the same way unless he assisted her .

      The statement relative to the pistols corroborates Mr . Lockwood ' s opinion . Manning also has stated tbat the clothes taken from the murdered man were all burnt in the back kitchen , with his nrivate memorandums and some rags . Manning declares that the grave in the back-kitchen had been dug SO early as May last , and the murder had been contemplated since then , but some how or other his wife could not muster courage enough to commit the deed until the evening of the 9 th of August . A shutter belonging to the back-kitchen was placed over the holecovered with a carpet , and O'Connor must have several tunes walked over his grave in going to the sink to wash his hands , as was his custom prior to partaking of dinner at Manning ' s house . On Friday afternoon Mr . Binns had an interview with Frederick George Manning in the condemned

      cell Horsemonger-lane Gaol , according to a previous appointment . The wretched culprit received an answer to Ms wife ' s letter on the previous day which he submitted to Mr . Binns . It was written with great care , and the contents are rather important , as it discloses some extraordinary facts relative to the murder , which at present cannot be published . The whole of the correspondence was forwarded to the Home-office , for the consideration ofthe authorities . "With regard to the point of laworgcd by air . Ballantinc on Mrs . Afcinnin / j ' s behalf— "that she was entitled to be tried de medietote lingua ?'—Mr . Salmon , her solicitor , waited upon the Attorney-General yesterday afternoon , and served him with the necessary notices . 3 fo definitive answer was given to this application , as the learned Attorney-General must consult the judges .

      FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . THREAT TO STOP THE SUPPLIES ? Cxra Tows , August 30 th , 1849 . —At a meeting ofthe inhabitants of Cape Town , held in the Townhouse this day , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this meeting is of opinion , that no contracts of any description should be entered into for the supply or use of the military , naval , or civil departments until the order in council making thiscolony a penal settlement be rescinded ; and that the inhabitants of all classes be strongly recommended to adhere firmly to such resolution , as the only means of saving the colony from injury , degradation , and ruin . "—Gapa Town Commercial Advertiser .

      FRAXCE . ( From , our Third Edition of last tveelc . ) Legislative Assembly , Oct . 31 . —The President of the Assembly read the following message from the President of the Republic . " Elysee , Oct . 31 . " Monsieur le President—In the grave circumstances in which we find ourselves , the accordance which ought to exist between the different powers ofthe state cannot be maintained , unless ' , animated by mutual confidence , they explain their views openly to each other . To give an example of that sincerity , I now make known to the Assembly the reasons which have determined me to change the

      Ministry , and to separate myself from men whose eminent services lam . gratified to proclaim , and to Whom I hive vowed friendship and gratitude . " To consolidate the Republic , menaced on so many sides by anarchy , to assure order more efficaciously than has hitherto been tbe case , to uphold abroad (< i Vexterkur ) the name of France at the height of her fame—men are required who , animated by a patriotic devotion , understand the necessity of united and firm action , and a clearly defined line of policy , which will not compromise the government { Upovmir ) by any act of irresolution , who will have a care of my responsibility as well asof their own , and pay attention to acts as well as words . ( Great agitation . )

      " For more than a year I have given proofs enough of abnegation to remove all doubts as to my veritable intentions . Without a grudge towards any individuality , against any party , I gave access to power to men of the roost opposite opinnions , bet without obtaining the happy results which I expected from thai combination ( rapnroelicment ) . Instead of an amalgamation of shades of opinion , I obtained only a neutralisation of powers . " Unity of action was barred ; a spirit of conciliation was regarded as weakness . Scarcely were the dangers " of the street over , when parties raised their colours , and gave ventanew to their old rivalries , spreading alarm and disquietude through the country .

      " In the midst of this confusion , France , uneasy not seeing any guiding power , seeks the hand , the will , the flag of the elected of the 10 th of December . That will cannot be manifested without a perfect community of action , of ideas , views , and convictions between the President and his Ministers , and unless the Assembly associates itself to the national thought , of which the election of the Executive power was the expression . " A whole system triumphed on the 10 th

      December , for the name of Napoleon is a programme in itself . It means—order , authority , religion , welfare of the people at home , the national dignity abroad . It is the triumph of that policy , inaugurated by my election , which I seek , with the support of the Assembly and of the people . I wish to be worthy of the confidence of the nation , by maintaining the Constitution to which I have sworn . I wish to inspire in the country , by my loyalty , my perseverance , and my firmness , such confidence as to give new life to business , and hone in the future .

      " The letter ofthe Constitution has doubtless a great influence upon the destinies of a country ; but the manner in which it is interpreted has , perhaps , a far greater one . The longer or shorter duration of a government contributes , doubtless , greatly to the stability of public affairs ; bat it is also by ideas and by principles ^ hat the government knows how to re-assure society . " - " Let us , then , raise up again authority , without causing : alarm to real liberty . Let us calm anxiety

      by boldly curbing bad passions , and by giving a xtsef ul direction to all noble instincts . "Lei us consolidate the principle , of religion , without abandoning anything of the conquests of the revolution ; and we will save the country , in despite of factions , ambitious men , and even of those imperfections which may exist in onr institutions . •' LocisJTapoleoxBosxparte . " The President : A postcript is added . It runs thus : — "A supplement of the Moniteur will give this evening the names ofthe new Ministry . " ( Loud laughter at the names not being announced . )

      The Assembly then rose in great agitation at six o ' clock . Paris , Thcesdat . —Last night crowds assembled in the Boulcvardseager to see the President ' s letter , but no popular demonstration took place , nor * was there any appearance of disturbance .

      FATAL DISTURBANCE IX TRIXIDAD . On the 1 st of October the people assembled in front of the government-house to demand an abrogation of the law , that persons sent to prison for small debts should be treated as criminals . As flic governor's carriage passed through the crowd ft was pelted with stones , which proceedings bein w continued , the Riot Act vds read , and , the mob refusing to disperse , the order to fire was given to the military , sad carried into fatal effect ,

      killing and wounding several . The city for some time remained in a disturbed state , and was patrolled night and day by the troops . The greatest uneasiness prevailed in the colony , and fears were entertained of a more general rising .

      Re-Organisatiot F Of Chartism. Large Mee...

      RE-ORGANISATIOt f OF CHARTISM . LARGE MEETING AT THE SOUTH . LONDON HALL . On Wednesday evening a densely crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held at the above Hall , for the purpose of electing delegates to represent the sentiments and opinions of the Chartists of Lambeth in the forthcoming Metropolitan Conference . Mr . Hobden was called to the chair , and having briefly stated the objects ofthe meeting , introduced Mr . G . W . M . Retsolos , who was received with great applause , and moved the first resolution as follows : — " That in tbe opinion of this meeting the

      present state of the country , and the extravagantly nigh rate at which the people are taxed , require a complete and organic change in our representative and financial system , and which desirable results can be effected only by a thorough union of the people in associations for those objects ; and , therefore , this meeting agrees to the propriety of again agitating for those equftableprinciples of representative government contained in the People's Charter . " He said that although the Chartist agitation might have lain dormant for the last eighteen months , yet he had too sublime a confidence in the honesty , intelligence , and energy ofthe industrious classes , to believe that the spirit of Chartism was defunct m their breasts . ( Hear . ) So long as the working

      man was ground down by the tyranny of a despicable and vile oligarchy—so long as tho millions had to toil , in order to maintain a few favoured mortals in luxurious sloth and voluptuous indolence —so long as the man with eight shillings a week had to contribute the sweat of his brow , and the larger portion of his scanty wage , to tbat scandalous taxation which sustained the pampered oligarchyso long as all the fruits of the earth were monopolised by that aristocratic minority , while starvation was the doom of the producers of all the luxuries , elegance , and comforts of life—so long as such an infamous and atrocious system as this was in existence , the spirit of Chartism never would die . ( Immense applause . ) What , then , did it behove the working

      classes to do ? He would tell them . They must resuscitate the Chartist agitation—not that ^ agitation in which there was to be talk of pikes and pistols , blood and violence : but a legal , peaceful , and constitutional agitation , based upon the strength of a just cause , and carried out by moral means . ( Cheers . ) At the same time Mr . Reynolds would not counsel any movement which should become antagonistic to the agitation instituted by tbe National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . Kb ; it must be a movement which would run conveniently with the other , until the mission of that middle-class association should have ceased ; and then the Chartists would continue their own glorious andmagnanimous

      struggle , until all their wrongs were redressed and all their rightsrescucd from usurpation and tyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Reynolds then proceeded to pass a high eulogium upon Sir Joshua Walmesley as the leader ofthe Middle-class movement , and likewise upon Mr . O'Connor , who was the staunch , unflinching , and able leader of the working-class movement . He then expatriated at great length , npon the infamous system of taxation , —showing bow ire paid £ 50 , 000 a year to Prince Albert , although the Queen was already enormously rich ; £ 100 , 000 a year to Queen Adelaide—a German woman who had no sympathies with the people , and with whom the people had no sympathies eitherand all the scandalous pensions which were

      received by the aristocratic leeches and blood-suckers who boasted their descent from the shameless females who sold their charms to Charlesthe second . ( Loud applause . ) Mr . Reynolds then touched upon the points in the People ' s Charter , showing how . unjust it was to deprive millions of mef of the right of franchise , and yet calling upon them to obey those laws which they had no share in the making , and to pay those taxes which they took no part in levying . Were the aristocracy and the government wise , they would yield Universal Suffrage as a matter of prudence . The peoBk would then become the true source of power , ana any government which they raised up would be one of their choice . They would not quarrel with it ; and as to the idea

      of ever being goaded to tbat state of desperation which would prompt them to take up arms against it—such a thought was ridiculous . ( Hear . ) But so long as the suffrage was denied , the people were discontented , and armies were required tokeep them in " order . " Lord John Russell had declared that the people were too ignorant to eserdse the franchise wisely . This was a foul calumny . The millions possessed a more sterling intelligence than the aristocracy—the true intelligence of the country , in fact , resided amongst those who were the artificers and the producers of all luxuries—all works of science and art , and all things necessary to sustain or embellish existence . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho , it was not the ignorance ofthe working classes that was

      oreaaea : it was their intelligence . 1 or the oligarchy knew full well that , with a true representation of tbe national mind , all the hideous abuses which now appeared like plague-spots upon , the social system would speedily be swept away . Mr , Reynolds then proceeded to show that a knowledge of social rights and social duties , accompanies the extension of political privileges ; and that , in order to change all the semi-barbarian laws and usages which now affect the social condition , political reform must be obtained . He concluded a long and argumentative speech , by calling upon the working classes to do their duty , and join in the new agitation which was now commencing , and sat down amidst loud and prolonged applause ,

      Air . O'CoaifOR rose , and was most enthusiastically cheered . He said : Once upon a time , an English , aristocrat was making a tour through the States of America upon horseback . He called late one night at a country inn , when all the servants had gone to bed . He hallooed out "Ostler , ostler , ostler . '" till at last the ostler roused from his slumber , threw up the window , and , popping out his head , exclaimed , "What are you calling for ? " " I want my horse put up , " was the reply . "Does he kick ? " asked the ostler . "Ho . " "Does he bite ? " asked the ostler .

      " ] No . " "Then put Mm up yourself : the more you calls the more I won't come . " ( Laughter . ) Well , the appeal ofthe chairman to the gentlemen of the press to come upon the platform reminded him of the American ostler—as , the more the chairman calls , "the more they won ' t come . " But let them not mind that ; although the ear of tbe world was not there , the lug of the Home Office was amongst them . ( Cheers , and "Ay ! ' *) Aud to-morrow Sir George Grey and his associates would hear what was said , and what was not said , from their spies and detectives ; but , however , they were of importance as reporters , as the resolution of government would be based

      upon their co-operation , rather than upon the value set upon it by the press . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Reynolds bad reminded them of the great importance attached to the solution of the social question at Johnstreet , last ni ght , by one of their former leaders ; and he ( Mr . O'Connor ) believed that every man there sufficientl y understood the fact , that the Charter was meant as the political means , and tbe profitable cultivation and equitable distribution of national wealth , as the social end . ( Cheers . ) . Yesj and . if lie attempted critically to analyse the exact-social benefit that each class or eacb trade would derive from tbe PEOPLE'S CHARTER ,

      the ignorance of both class and . trade would create sucb a diversity of opinion as would lead to their utter annihilation . ( Hear , hear . ) He never did attempt , and he never would attempt , to define what the Charter would do for all , beyond this—that it would cause a just representation of the majority . If he said to a mechanic in good employment , go upon the land , the mechanic would laugh at him ; so with the shoemaker , so with all other trades that didn't understand the benefit , that the employment of how idle labourers would confer upon them ; so with the tailor , he foolishly supposes that he can crib more j cabbage from the lapboard than from the Land . He | would analyse it for them . The mechanic who did not use the spade , a shovel , a rake , " a hoe , or any other instrument made by his iabour , would receive much more wages if there was a general national .

      instead ofa capricious speculative demand for his labour . ( Cheers . ) So with the shoemaker , so with the tailor , and so with all who had an objection to the Land . Let him ask them if the mind of man could invent anything more ridiculous than our present system ? Here we had every one puzried to explain the law , and every one expected to understand the law . For . instance ; a young fellow went from school to college at seventeen ; he went from college to the Temple at twenty ; he went from the Temple to a conveyancer ' s office for two years , after he was called to the bar ; he was then twenty-live , and had been ei ght years learning the law , he was considered a junior , whose legal opinion ? wS Tf & xa f 8 ^ ten yearsfand was they think of the absurdity of its requiring eighteen years study , and the man to be of thirlySve years of age , to explain the law , nbile a young spark hot

      from Cambridge or Oxford , of twenty-one years of & ee was elected member of parliament , and considered capable of making ' and amending the law ? fLoud cheers . ) Would-it-be possible for him to mvp i better definition of the capability of our pre fS law makers ? Tlur House consisted of 650 members ; he would place 630 of those upon a platform hefore a meeting of intelligent working men , and not a single working man would understand a sinrie sentence they delivered . ( Cheers . ) Well , that "was t fae systeKl" ? wblon tney were ra ^ ao < * governed and it was to break down that system that he { lit . O'Connor ) had struggled for twentyseven years , and to effect which he non «« , ««• . to resuscitate the Chartist spirit .

      fLoud cheers . ) When the government had clipped the wings of Chartism by the brutal persecution of its leaders , they hoped that it would bo a helpless fluttering bird ; but , as he told them before , be repeated now , lor every feather plucked from their wing they would find ten to replace it , and he was more than rejoiced at the pleasure of their friend Mr . Reynolds ' co-operation . ( Cheers . ) That gentleman had told them that he ( Mr . O ' Connor ) stood alone in the House of Commons ; he did nearly so , but if he stood alone he would still advocate their principles . ( Loud cheers . ) It is true that he was " boo'd " and " baa'd " in the House of Commons . It is true that one of the oldest members in the House told him / Mr . O'Connor ) after the 10 th of April , that he had

      been thirty-eight years m the House of Commons , and that he remembered the time when he would have been ordered from the House to the Tower . and there beheaded , for the speech that he ( Mr . O'Connor ) made . ( Loud cheers , ) If , however , the will ofthe people cannot be fairly and judiciously represented in the House , it must be done so fervently and enthusiastically . ( Cheers . ) They were now endeavouring to modify the old system , and as far as taxation went , let him show the manner in which young gentlemen were still living , under the old system , upon their labour . When he was at school there were three boys in his class , the eldest not thirteen , and all officers in the army upon full pay . ( Shouts of " Shame ! " ) Well , these gentlemen

      never heard a shot fired , and are still upon half-pay . But he would take them to a lower standard of age . At one time the political power of the Beresfords , in Ireland , was capable of effecting anything . In those days the names , or the intended names of children , before they were born , were gazetted for commissions in the army . So great was the cravings of the Beresfords , the Lord-Liutenant told them , that if they got Ireland for a domain they would want the Isle of Man for a potato garden ; ( Roars of laughter . ) Well , in those good old days Lord Cathcart was commander-in-chief of the forces , and upon a tour of inspection he billetted himself upon Lord Beresford ' s hospitality , Lord Beresford was from home , but her ladyship

      entertained him . After dinner the General , knowing that several Beresfords were appointed to commissions in the army , said , " My lady , I should wish to see the young : warriors . " Her ladyship went out ofthe room and , from the bottom ofthe stairs , called out to the nurse , " Nurse , take the Captain ' s cradle out of the Major ' s room , as he is teething , and when the Colonel wakes dress him in his regimentals , the General wishes to see him . " ( Roars of laughter that continued ** for several minutes . ) Well , continued Mr . O'Connor , that is not all , the said Lady Beresford called upon the Lord Lieutenant on another occasion to look for some office for herself ; when his Excellency , overpowered by such application , observed ,. " Upon my

      soul I don't know what to do—I do not know of a single vacancy , except a Majority in a Dragoon regiment . " " It ' s the very thing of all others that I should like , " replied her ladyship , and she was gazetted as Mrs . Major Beresford . ( Renewed laughter . ) Let him now explain to them one ofthe greatest absurdities ofthe present age , and for the abolition of which the People ' s Charter contended . He explained it in the House of Commons , but he would also explain it to them—it was the absurdity of Property Qualification . There sat Lord John Russell—the first Minister of the Crown , and representative ofthe wealthiest city in the world , who only required £ 300 a-year to qualify him—next to him sat the representative of a bankrupt Irish

      county , who must have £ 600 a-year as a qualification—next to him sat the disinherited prodigal son ofa Peer , he required no qualification—next to him sat the depraved , and dissolute , and , perhaps , disinherited eldest son of a qualified gentleman , herequired no qualification—and next to him sat a Scotch member who required no property qualification . ( Cheers , and shouts of" Shame . " ) Let him now describe how property qualification was measured as regards a party serf , and as regards an inindependent member . In 1832 he was returned for his native country by an overwhelming majority . He wa s qualified , In 1835 ho was returned again , but , m the mean time , he had become very obnoxious to the different factions in

      the House , and they had become very hostile to him . When he was returned he was in receipt of over £ 5 , 000 a year from his profession , his profits as a farmer , and his landed * income , and he did not owe a fraction . The smallest portion , £ 375 a year , he . had for life , the largest portion he had for 9999 years , and a very large portion upon three lives , renewable for ever ; but the £ 375 aycar that he hadfor life—the worst property he had , and which would more than have qualified Lord John Russell—was all that was held to be good , and he was unseated . ( Shouts of " Shame . " ) Well , he had given up , or spent upon the advocacy of their cause , every fraction of that income —( cheers)—and from that fact alone they would be able to judge of his sincerity .

      He did not agitate from the same motive that other men did . He had an uncle in tho fifty-first year of his banishment , who sacrificed not ten , but twenty thousand a year , and a peerage , rather than abandon the people ' s cause . ( Cheers . ) His father had been prematurely hurled to the cold . grave for no other crime ; his two surviving brothers were obliged to fly their country , in consequence of the odium attached to their principles ; the one was now the wealthiest man in New South Wales , the other the wealthiest man in South America ; and there he ( Mr . O'Connor ) stood as the only remaining man of that persecuted family , not seeking vengeance , but satisfaction for their oppression , and that he could never achieve except through the

      enfranchisement ofthe people . ( Loud cheering and waving of hats , that continued for a considerable time . ) Look at tho pale faces that he saw around him , and think ofthe ruddy cheeks of those that lived upon their blood . ( Cries of "Ay . " ) Let him show the difference between slave labour and free labour ; the free labourer—no matter what the drudgery of his occupation may be if he is a solicitor , a barrister , a merchant , a banker , or a shopkeeper—he will sit- till midnight over the flickering lamp , in the hope of realising in youth wherewithal to live independently in old age , while they—and no blame to themwork sparingly and grudgingly at their slave labour , because they knew that however penuri-« .. . !__ X 1 . a-. 1 T _ . * . , 1 . 1 . a LahIMa * vt- * -J- lirt J-li / iii * -lATiifvj-i in unaiiuv luuau luw jwugc

      , uusiy mvy uyg , mv ug m old age . ( Cheers , and shouts ot " It's true . " ) Ay , but the man upon his own land would work sixteen or eighteen hours a day during summer , and at some other avocation in winter , to secure a sufficiency whereon to live in old age . ( Loud cheers . ) STow that was the difference between free labour and slave labour ; the one sweetened the bread of life , the other soured it . ( Loud cheers . ) The situation of the ill paid Dorchester agricultural labourer was paraded by free traders and manufacturers as a contrast with the condition of the Lancashire and Yorkshire operatives . But if life is sweet , let him fairly . illustrate it for them . The average of life in Dorsetshire was 53 years ; in many of the manufacturing districts it was 2 S . Then , was not

      the operative who had been thus prematurely madoold , entitled to a sufficient remuneration for the labour of his youth , to live in comfort in- his old age ? ( Cheers . ) The race horse , who had run his sweating race , made to live in an artificial state , and had become old at five , represented the operative ; while the dull plough horse , that was younger at twenty-five , represented the agricultural labourer . ( Cheers . ) A ow that was the system that he had laboured constantly and assiduously to Break down , and that was the system that ' never would be broken down so long as the power of the few was based upon the disunion and jealousy of the many . ( Loud cheers . ) In the beginning of next month there was to be a metropolitan :

      Conference held m London , he understood that last night , ( Tuesday , ) and without his knowledge , he had been elected as one of the members ,- for Marylebone , to that Conference , —( loud cheers , )—and he attached as much importance and honour to his seat for Marylebone , in the Conference , as he did to his seat in the House of Commons . ( Great cheering . ) They would be called upon that night , to elect sound and discreet men to represent thera . and he relied upon their sagacity to do so ThatConferencewouldmorefaithfull yrepresenttheir interests than the metropolitan members did in the House of Commons , and they would announce a programme for future action to the country . Ho had only one more duty to perform ; the Daily News said that he ( Mr > O'Connor ) was the selfelected "father of Chartism , " and as . he wished

      them to be his legitimate children , and not his illegitimate children , he would do as'he did at Brighton , take a show of hands as to the relationship that existed between them , and . therefore hP wou d ask all who considered him to be Iheir LgiUmate father to hold up both hands . ( Hero every hand was held up , amidst the most e nthusiastic cheering ) After which , Mr . O'Connor obseS 2 Z 5 ? ff wd a 1 ;' ? r ' ytuan Ki " Pbiaji , the only difference being that many of his chiWren were older than himself .

      nov ' s speech , who . resumed his seat amid the most deafening enthusiasm . ] Mr Thomas Cmbk , in moving the second resolutinVTobservedrtlie dutv which has been assigned Ss pSy of a business character , , but before en-S / S l the immediate object of the resolution , IS take leave to make a few obsemtiqna res-Sg the kind of a movement which I "m Jmaous So sL established . ( Hear . ) = In the first place hen , it is necessary that it should be clearly and distinctly understood , that the movement which we are entering upon here this evening , is not intended Jo play an antagonistic part towards any other movement , theob ^ ects of which are of a laudabl kind ( Cheers . ) Speaking for myself , I am bound to observe that I care not who may be the men

      , engaged in a cause-I care not to what class they may Belong-if their objects be good , then they shall have m y sympathy , and my support . Men are-not to be judged by classes , but by actions , and to me it appears that in the future we must have lessofcZctss and more of man . ( Cheers . ) l nave no sympathy for bad men of any class , and my experience has taught me that my own class-the working class-abounds in bad as well as in good men . ( Hear , and cheers . ) I assert it as a fact , and one , too , which you must all know to be true , that the great cause which we are here to serve has no worse enemies than are to . be found in the lowest ranks of labourers . ( Hear . ) And why w it so ?—from the same reason that we have opposition from

      other quarters—it is because they are ignorant . ( Hear , hear . ) It is this ignorance which is our real enemy , and it is to intelligence alone that we must look for its destruction . ( Cheers . ) lam , therefore , solicitous to witness the establishment of an agitation which , disregarding the distinction of class , shall be distinguished by intelligence , energy , and tolerance . These to me appear to he tho Clements necessary for success , and without which triumph will not be ours . ( Hear . ) There is one matter to which , with your permission , I will call attention . Allusion has been made , most dispawgingly , by my friend Mr . Reynolds , in the course of his truly eloquent speech to the Peace Congress , and to tbe objects ofthe peace party generally , and

      as I entertain the highest respect for that party m the main , and approve cordially of their objects , the meeting will not be astonished at my dis « ent from what has been advanced against them . ( Hear , ) I regard armies and wars as the scourge and curse of mankind , and I do not believe even though we should have a republic to-morrow , tbat perfect liberty could exist , contemporaneously with a standing army . ( Hear . ) . Armies have been from the earliest dawn of the worlds history down to the present moment , the great instruments by which the enslavement of nations has been effected and perpetuated , and , therefore , I am for the overthrow of those armies which at present curse the world in various ways . ( Cheers . ) Look at France at this moment and answer me , who

      are its veritable governors ? The Abjerine butchers , who by the aid of the army of Prance , have almost crushed that Republic , as they have already destroyed the Republic of Rome . ( Cheers . ) I will confess that I am not so sanguine as to expect that tho objects , of Mr . Cobden and his friends of the peace party , will be realized in my life time . I do not think that I shall live to see them accomplished , and I can well understand how the objects of that party may now appear to some Utopian ; but like all other great truths , which have been adopted by the world , ridiculed at their birth , persecuted in their slow progress ; the propositions of the Peace Congress , will , I doubt not , ultimately triumph , and then standing armies will be but as monsters of

      the past . ( Hear . ) Then , I say , all honour to the men of the Peace Congress ; I for one will sound their praise . ( Cheers . ) As I told you at the outset , the resolution which I have to propose , relates to matters of business , and , therefore , my observations upon it shall bs few . It is proposed in order to the reorganisation ofthe Chartist body , that , on the first Monday in December next , a Conference of twenty-eight persons are to assemble , for the purpose of devising a plan whereby the scattered elements of democracy may be drawn together for the present , and bound together for the future . Four of those persons are to be elected here tonight , and to take their places at the

      Conferencenot as private individuals , but as your representatives to speak , to act , and to decide in your name . Take heed , then , whom you select , because your representatives ought to be worthy of yourselves . ( Hear . ) The council of this locality have prepared a list of four persons whom they think competent to act upon your behalf , and whom you will elect or reject . Mr . Clavk , after a further explanation of tbe objects of the . Conference , proposed the following resolution , and sat down warmly applauded : — " That this meeting having heard explained the objects and intentions of the proposed Metropolitan Conierence , approves the same , and agrees to the appointment of four delegates , to be present at such Conference as the representatives of this meeting . "

      Mr . M'Grath seconded the resolution . He said , this had been their second essay at sounding tho trumpet blast of Chartist resuscitation , and thus far their success had been unequivocal . ( Hear . ) Let them follow up the glorious work with the same spirit , and they would soon rectify the unstatesmanlike blunder of Lord John , when he assured parliament that the people wore satisfied with their political status , and that no organic change was desired . ( Hear . ) They were determined to roiise the soul of this metropolis from its torpor , and to make the breast of every political slave from the Land ' s End to John O'Groats' instinct with the holy spirit of freedom . ( Cheers . ) A great work was before them to accomplish , and great must be

      the energies put in motion for it . He regarded with infinite pleasure the fine spirit and cheering enthusiasm ' which characterised the proceedings of that night ; these were encouraging presages which showed that the day of the people ' s emancipation was at hand . ( Cheers . ) There must be no subsidence of the spirit evoked to-night . ( Hear . ) Were they not dissatisfied with the tyrannies of tbe Tories ? Wore they not disgusted with the frauds of tho Whigs ? Then let them cease not to develop © their dissatisfaction and disgust by their attendance at meetings such as tho present , and by their support of a popular organisation which aims at the speedy , but peaceful and legal destruction of the power of these baneful factions .

      ( Cheers . ) All denominations of politicians were now on the alert . All wore sedulous in promoting the triumph of their respective objects . Our cause transcended in grandeur , importance , and sublimity that of every other party . Its success would scatter a ¦ multitude of blessings among the people . It wouldj therefore , be disgraceful to them as-a party , and traitorous to the cause of progress to remain another moment in supinencss . Lot thorn up then once more with the bright banner of tho Charter — let them surround it with their hearts and affections—let them bear it proudly aloft in' the vanguard of progression , until they plant it in triumph upon the ruins of class legislation . ( Loud cheers . ) They wanted an organisation

      to gather up the elements of democratic power , which desideratum , as far' as Lambeth was concorned , would be supplied to-night . They should have an organisation that would at once defy the virulence ot , the Attorney-General , and nullify the diabolical vocation of wretches like Powell . ( Cheers . ) " No Surrender , " must be their watchword ; " Union" must be their motto . Without these they would continue to he the sport of faction and the laughing-stock of the oppressor . ( Hear . ) Union is tho first grand essential m agitation . Let then every man , every woman , every youth in this assembly , resolve upon its immediate creation .

      ( Cheers . ) Their Organisation Conference WOllld shortly moot , and when their wisdom and experience shall nave been embodied in a plan which would give force and direction to popular energy , another meeting will be held in this room for the adoption ofthe plan , and for the enrolment of members under . it , when he hoped that every square foot of the ball would bear an honest heart , panting to enlist in the glorious army of political and social progress . .. . The speaker sat down amid ' the general applause of the meeting . .. ' ;' . Four delegates were then Unanimously elected ^ to represent Lambeth in the Conference .

      • After-the usual votes of thanks had been passed , the meeting , which throughout its proceedings was heart-inspiring and enthusiastic , was declared by the Chairman to be dissolved .

      Slavery! Io The Ed1tob Of The Yorthebn S...

      SLAVERY ! IO THE ED 1 TOB OF THE yORTHEBN STAR . " ,-The people of all countries appear to _ be influenced by delusions ; they do' not appreciateJhe real meanings of . " liberty " and slavery , and hence they are subject to be deceived by having a false direction given to their minds , wherever seme depression causes them to exercise reflection , ine priests tell them that it is a decree of God that ; tne poor should never cease out of the land , and that their poverty is tho result of such decree ; that though their sufferings in this world may be severe , they will be rewarded in the world to come proportionate to their sufferings , and the fortitude with which those sufferings may be borne . . The poor ht and under-educated portion of the — g

      overwroug community not being able to see through the sophistry of this doctrme , submit to it as being the will of Heaven . Thus these hypocritically deluders ofthe people have not only secured the object of their real mission , but they have . secured tbe position of the governors of nations , whose corrupt and unholy tools they have ever been , and will remain , so long as they are enabled to enslave the very souls of men . God has decreed that the poor shall never cease out of the land . Who are the poor ? Those alone who from either physical or mental ability are not able to produce for themselves the necessaries of life . But for these luxuriant drones to tell the working portion of the community that their poverty is a decree of Heaven , is a foul libel on the character of God . He decreed that man should

      earn his bread by the sweat of his brows , and not that one class of men should do this . No ! this decree is universal in its application , —the exception being the poor , who are physically disabled . In order that man might be enabled to do this He established certain and fixed laws , through the operation of which , and with the application © f labour , the earth is made to yield an ample supply of fruits . He gave the earth to man , and commanded him to multiply and replenish it . As it had an existence before man , and as it is absolutely necessary for his existence , each individual has a just and equal right to its possession . No man can be said to have an exclusive right to it . Hence it follows , that the noverfcv of tbe producer arises irom another source ,

      and not from the decree of God . It arises irom the robberies committed by the priests ; the aristocrat and the usurers , who by fraud and cunning have contrived to evade the great and universal law" man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow . " This class of individuals are constantly increasing , and as a natural consequence , the labouring portion of the population are from year to year becoming poorer . Each individual who becomes a capitalist , commences levying taxes on society , which taxes are handed down from one generation to another ; the weight upon the shoulders of the labouring man thus continually augmenting , until its pressure becomes so severe that he is not able , throueh excessive toil and privations , to

      liveout half his days . Yet those who rob him , and who are enabled to wallow in luxury and licencious extravagance , have the audacity to tell him that his poverty is a decree of Heaven . The hypocrisy of those parties is so transparent that the people will , at no distant day , call them to account for their deceptions and injustice . Whence arises the power exercised by this triune ? Prom the slavery ofthe masses . The masses say we are free ; this is the a land of freedom , —slavery cannot exist here , — who told you so ? You are deceived ; and those who told you so are either wilfully blind to the existence of surrounding facts , or aro materially interested in causing you to have an impression that you are free . You arc not free , —you are slavesmentally and physically , —and bo long as the

      , institutions of society exist in their present state you must remain so . The man who is compelled to sell his labour is a slave to the purchaser of that labour .- The freeman is he who sells or exchanges the fruits of his labour . Would to God that the working classes could be induced to think and act more in concert ; their elevation must spring from themselves alone ; unfortunately , the institutions appear to have a parallelising effect on their spiritual nature ; the public-houses , jerry-shops , and gin-palaces , have too much attraction for them ; excitements of an unhealthy aud soul-destroying character is too much sought after ; the taxes which the people pay in this way rivet their fetters of slavery with a sledge-hammer force ofa

      threefold character . They give a tyrannical government the pecuniary means ot perpetuating their slavery . They dissipate the little power they possess , and thus become the mere kicking posts of their employers ; and are liable to receive the greatest insults without the slightest power of retaliation ; and they destroy or neutealise the noblest portion of their nature , viz ., the spiritual or intellectual part , which , if cultivated , would afford to them a happiness ofthe most pure and elevated character . There is after all great hope for the people ; many of the working classes are beginning to think more deeply than they ever did in any age of the world ; there are a greater number of able and noble-souled men who are disseminating views through the

      medium ofthe pure portion of the Press than at any former period . These receive tho warm gratulations of all good men ; they may be persecuted by the slander ofthe priests , who have in every age manifested a peculiar aptitude for persecuting good men , which , however , from its universal occurrence , is producing a completely different result than that which they desire . Somehow the people begin to think that a man must have some peculiarly good quality about him when he is slandered by the priesthood , and hence they are induced to read and reflect upon his ideas . As social reform , or the destruction of slavery , can alone be effected by the dissemination of the necessary ideas , and as ideas can only be received by those capable of exercising

      their reflecting powers , it behoves every individual , animated by the desire of elevating the masses , to do all he can to remove the cause which prevents the cultivation of reflection . On looking round he will find the greatest portion of his acquaintance , to a greater or less extent , the slaves of intemperance , which intemperance can alone be removed by a total abstinence from intoxicating drinks . What is there more unbearable than to be held by the button and compelled to listen to the contemptible , puerile , and childish twaddle of a drunken man ? What scene is more calculated to produce pain and sorrow in the mind of a man whose aspirations are ever for the elevation ofthe people , than to see his soul so beclouded , —his manhood so degraded , —by pandering to a vicious habit ? and perhaps he may have

      a wife and a group of lovely children at home requiring for their comfort the very money which he has been squandering at some gin-palace , or other place , whore this infernal poison is permitted to be sold . The man who can do this is a tyrant in his soul , made so by drink . It is the duty of every democrat to destroy the power of this tyranny by doing all he can to overturn the drinking customs , and thus we should have a sober people , which no power on earth could keep in slavery . May the time speedily arrive when every species of slavery shall be banished from the world , and when all men shall be united in one common bond ofhrotherhood , —when each shall seek his brother ' s welfare , and individual selfishness entirely destroyed . Yours truly , Halifax , Jons Cuwan , Jun .

      Accident On The Blackwau Railway.—About ...

      Accident on the Blackwau Railway . —About a quarter past five on Thursday morning the regular up-train arrived somewhat behind time , just as an express train was about to proceed downward on the Blackwall line . A luggage train , which followed the regular one , was just then heard thundering through the station , which is roofed over to protect the vessels lying in the neighbouring basin from any chance sparks from the engines . When the relative positions of tho two trains were discovered , the luggage train at once let off the steam , but too late to avert the shock , which took place with tremendous force . The luggage train swept the last carriage of the passencer

      traindear . off its frame , leaving the latter a mere trucK . . .. The . displaced carriage working its way upder the preceding ono , forced the hinder end into the . air , with . tho head ploughing downwards . Eight or nine persons are said to have been seriously injured , but none dangerously . The Tows Council of Leehs , which but a little while ago dismissed the sewerage question by a sins die postponement , has now , with only two dissentients , resolved to have tho whole of tho town , including the townships of Ilunslet and Holbeck thoroughly drained , at a cost of £ 80 , 000 . Fimale Barbers . —From an official document recentl y published by tho Prussian Government , it incidentally appears that women act as barbers in many parts of Prussia .

      The Ofenikg . of the Coal Exchange and the lous op the Bridges . —A correspondent , curious in fagures , has collected for the . Spectator ^ number of facts respecting the occupancy of the London bridges upon which pontage is paid , during the progross of Tuesday week . Tho toll for the Channgcross Suspension-bridge was raised from a halfpenny to a penny . After making deductions for persons who passed over , the calculation founded unon the receipts is , that 9 , 000 persons were on the bridge at the moment the spectacle passed . Mr . Bailev the engineer , was stationed on tbe top of one of the piers , to mark the effect of the webShfc nnd mn .

      turn ot the people upon what are called the " adjusting rollers / and a professional gentleman was stationed on another pier . It was tho most severe tost , because the most unequal in its pressure to which the bridge has yet boon subjected ; the result is announced to have been entirely satislactorv both as regards tho strength and compensating power of the structure . The estimate is , that the bridge will sustain three times greater weight than can possibly be placed on it . On Waterloo-bridge 20 , 000 persons must have taken up their stations . Ihe to 1 was continued at a halfpenny ; the receiuta ^ H ed Southw ^ -brilge Ld not SS thw 10 , 000 spectators fit the veceipts , although
