Poor vagabond of revelry , So abject , so forlorn , The greataees of thy misery Shall shield tbee from onr scorn *

      We inr thee yesterday elate In majesty snd pride , Thy flowing wealth , thy gorgeous state , Thy power half deified .

The economy of their agriculture is beautiful ; thevfhole country presents the appearsnes of one continued gardea ; no large commons starving & few miserable horses , nor parks and chases laid waste forthe special purpose of breeding rabbits , are to be met with : the land is meant to feed and clothe toe people , snd to that use its powers are directed .

      The following address has been issued by the committee formed to assist the v ^ dow and orphans of this great man . APPEAL TO THB PUBLIC IN BEHALF OF THE WIDOW OF WILLIAM THOM , POET OF INVERURY .

      Committee : —Provost Thorns , Rev . George Gilfil-Ian , Rev . J . R . M'Gavin , Dr Arrot , Mr James Westland , Mr Patr ick Watson , Mr John Watson , Mr James H . Ower , Mr William Boyack , Mr William Bett , Mr James Chalmers , Jan ., Mr Arthur Begg , Jan ., Mr Thomas Saunders . Treasurer—Mr Patrick Watson . Secretary—Mr William Boyack . The Committee appointed te raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thorn , the gifted bat unfortunate Poet of Inverury , beg leave brieflvbnt earnestly to appeal to the Public , more espeei & lly to the Pablte of Scotland , in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them .

      The name and geniua of Thom are well known and universally acknowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of bis muse hare been brought before the public , not only in a combined form , but in various periodicals . His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs Chambers , in their Jourxix , have devoted ft chapter to his autobiography , and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled . The life of William Them has , indeed , combined

      the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Moses , having formed & scene of trials and disappointments , accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress . Many of his earliest aad best years were passed at the Hawkhill of Dnndee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; fer thither , to use his own emphatic language , he wished to return , like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest , to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet .

      His wishes were fulfilled ; for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings , debilitated and impoverished , and breathed his last on Monday , the 28 th of February . He has left a widow and feres infant children , the youngest but fire months old , totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fond , in order , if possible , to afford them permanent assistance . A Committee has been appointed , who have cheerfully undertaken this duty , and already they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner . Lord Kinnaird , Lord Jeffrey , Messrs Donglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers , and many others , have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genins and unobtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Cotaniitteeh & ve . in view .

      DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM , THE INYERURY POET . TO THE EDITS * Of THE DDHDEE COUSIEK . Dordbe , February 29 ia , 18 ( 8 . Sie , — The painful task has been deputed to me of an . noaacing to the pablte the death of William Thom , the Iaverory poet . For some time pait be had been is delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncertainty of his circBmstencei , and the coniequent anguish of his honourable and lensitiva mind . Yesterday , in oar city , at half-past eleven a . m ., be departed this life . He has left

      behind him something more taan & name—same true and beautiful strains , which , as * a thing of beauty ii a joy for erer , ' the world » rill not willingly suffer , like the inscription on the coffin , to be buriid in the tomb . He baa left behind him , alas i something of yet tenderer and more mournful interest—a widow snd three children , the eldest of whom is only four years , and the yenngest bat a few menthi old , Theie are ' utterly destitute , ' and but for the kindness of sne or two private friends , might hare been cast oat ere this to the charity of the streets . I make no sppsalia behalf of the peethimielf ; ' After life ' s fitful fever , be sleeps well . ' He has found what the most troubled and temoEsUtossed wanderer will

      at last Snd , and which to him wes peculiarly gratefulrest . Nor will I indulge ar express any vindictive feelings as to tha treatment which he received while yet alive . A true poet , he m « t with truly poetic usage . He was caressed , but cot fei ; as if one could sup en in . cense , or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! Bat I would bespeak general sympathy ia behalf of hie destitute family . I would implore every lover of literature—everyone who has derived pleasure from the departed poet ' s lyrics , or from the simple story of Ms life—to proTe their pleasure cud their gratltnde true by somemere substantial evidence than exclamations or tears . I woald call esptcially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festive ! , and heard almost his latest breath gives forth in those brief , broken , but tbril . ling accents—eccents bow far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meetiss with and hearing him for the last time , Ko time ought to be lost . Indeed , no time has bsen last .

      Intimations to the above effect either hare been , or are immediately to be , despatched to Douglas Jerrold , Charles Dickens , Lord Jeffrey , and others . But as Dundee bas had the hosoar of containing his deathbed , let ns follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant , active , strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow asd his fatherless bairns . ¦ Hairs Chalmers , Hiddleton , and Shaw , booksellers , and Mr Wells , perfumer , bars kindly undertaken to receive donations . The smallest sum will be welcomed . I am Sir , yours truly , GlOICE QlLVrCLiV . The last verses of the late William Thom , written shortly before bis death : —

      Arrival of the Cbirebs Jdkk ih Jersbt . —The Chinese junk arrived at Jersey on Wednesday from Biston . A correspondent of the Gubrkbet Star in that island gives the following account of this veigel , as well as of a melancholy accident connected with her arrival : — ' The Chinese junk arrived in our roads at about eleven o ' clock . She bas three roast * , much like the rig of a chossemaret , the minen mast being just over the poop . Several boats have gone round her during the afternoon , curiosity having induced numbers to have a closer examination , but the master would not admit them en board , and on his being asked if he intended to expose his vessel to view , he answered in the negative , as he was desirous of getting to London as quickly as possible . From the appearance of the Teasel , she must be

      between 500 and GOO tons . A brig , belonging to Messrs Nicolle , ol 250 tons , is anchored near her , and appears very small by her . When the junk was coming round Noirmont point all eyes were fixed on her ; no one could make out what was coming , as she had only two large bamboo sails and no bowsprit . She was coming in at a quick rate , having a stiff breeze , and ft fair wind right astern . A fatal accident happened to a boat which was run over by a cutter arriving in the roads , quite near so the junk . There were seventeen persons in the boat , four of whom are eo more . The others had a narro w escape ; three weM drowned then , and the other , when saved , was in such an exhausted state that he has since died . The boatman , named lumber , proprietor of the boat , is drowned , as well ag a . gentleman named Askew .

      Arrival Of The Cbirebs Jdkk Ih Jersbt.—T...

      CONTRAST BEIvTBHH TWO STATES OP SOCIETY / , ONE EMANATING FROM THE LAWS OF HEN AND THB OTHER FROM THE LAWS OP NATURE OR GOD .

      There are not many men and women nhose minds have been so expanded as to be enabled to grasp the whole arrangement and consequences of two totally different and opposite systems for forming the character ot maa , and of governing the human race , and then , without the prejudices ef latitude snd longitude , draw a just and unbiassed comparison between them . Yet such are the minds required to form a rational conclusion between two opposing systems for the government of mankind—between two distinct states of human existence , one emanating solely from the laws of men , opposed to facts , and the other proceeding from the laws of God , sustained through all past ages by every knewn fact .

      The one has desolated the world with wars , violences , contentions , and repulsive feelings , producing endless crimes , and their consequent miseries . It is calculated to effeot these results . The other will produce knowledge , unity , charity and ever increasing prosperity . It possesses the power and capacity to insure to all these permanent blessings . Whenever the prejudices of

      latitude and longitude can be overcome , the extraordinary differences between these opposing systems for the government of tho world , cannot fail to make a deep end lasting impression upon all who shall give their attention to the subject . The difference may be thus shortly stated : — 1 . The system which has emanated from the lane oi men cultivates , and very imperfectly , a small portion only of the powers and faculties of the ham an race .

      9 . It gives tech an Injurious direction , to the exerclce of these faculties , aa to produce a most imperfect cha . raeter , physical , mental , moral , and practical , in all ; while by a right education and direction of all our faculties and pswers , with much less cast of capital , labour , and good feeling , a very superior character maybe insored to each individual . 9 . This system prevents the creation of an enormous

      amount of the most valuable wealth , and produces , with a large capital , and great , severe , disagreeable , and unhealthy manual labour , a much smaller amount of wealth , and generally of inferior qualities . i . It distributes this wealth ia the mist unjust , inefficient , injurious , and expensive manner . 5 . It has created , and now supports over the world , opposing systems of superstition , at a most extravagant expenditure—systems which derange the humsn faculties and compel raea to act unjustly , unkindly , without charity for human nature , and most irrationally , to the injury of all , and benefit of none .

      6 . It supports codes of laws , based on ignorance , aad supported at an enermous waste of capital , talent , aad honesty , opposed to Ood ' s laws , and thereby creates universal disorder and confusion , 7 . It creates and supports the spirit of war , and carries its evils to an extent that bam ^ s all attempt * to place them with the vividness of truth before the mind ; for wsr is not only the great demoraliser of man , by

      making brute force the highest honouredpower which he possesses , bat it destroys the means of existence for million * and gives a false direction to the physical and mental energies of humanity . Had the nations of the world bat a , correct knowledge of the loss and sufferings created by their armies aad aaries , there is not one individual , prince or peasant , civil or military , who would not abhor the error , aad use bis utmost endeavour to terminate for ever all motives for war .

      8 , This eld system , by its innumerable physical and mental errors , fills the world with disease and accidents ; and , while keeping the mass of the people ia worse than brutal ignorance , renders the medical profession , like the previously named professions , necessary to maintain the system ; The loss by the productive aad educational powers of society , by so many n & tarally talented individuals being engaged In this profession , and so placed

      as to have an apparent interest in opposition to their fellows , is not only a great evil , by preventing all per * sons being so trained and educated as to become their own best physicians or health advisers , bat also a very large pecuniary loss Is thus sustained annually by society . S . This old system has created and supports the most vicious system of producing and distributing wealtha system by which man is greatly demoralised—bis best faculties being continually occupied in mercenary specu > lations to obtain money : first , to purchase those things necessary to a comfortable support of a family ; and , afterwards , to acquire power and iaduence in society , to

      be applied for individual purposes , regardless of the interests of others . The pecuniary loss by this erroneous arrangeaieHt is more than sufficient to insure permanent prosperity to the whole of society , 10 . This system , so long as men shall remain so insane aa to support it , 1 b opposition to the laws of God aad to the highest and best interests of their race , will permanently keep the Inhabitants of the world disunited and opposed to each other ; will for ever prevent the introduction in practice of universal charity or kindness , or a food , intelligent , and rational character being formed for the human race . This is a true description , without exaggeration , of the nreiant system , which , through the want of an

      education based on true principles , is now supported in opposition to the introduction of a system based on the laws efQod , that would secure to themselves , in part , but fully to their children ' s children , to tha end of time , the most important permanent advantages : — 1 . Because in this system , based on the laws of God-, all the faculties and natural powers ef all individuals will be well cultivated and duly exercised , from birth , in proportion to their strength and capacity , snd thus will they be made of great value to themselves and society .

      2 . Because it will give a natural , and , therefore , a right , direction In practice to the organs , faculties , and powers , of every individual , in order that tbey may be at all times exercised to the point of temperance , to secure their physical and mental health . 3 . Because , by this training , edueitUn , and exercise of the physical and mental pownre of every individual , SUCh B character will be formed for each , that the necessity for any of the professions will gradually diminish , until tbey entirely cease ; and thus , besides overcoming the enormous amount of deception , error and crime , with their consequent misery , which these professions now hourly produce throughout society , there will be vast masses of wealth created , which these professioas now waste or prevent being produced .

      4 . Because , under this system , by a simple and beautiful arrangement , a surplus of wealth , all of superior qualities , will be annually jjrodHSei , with great pleasure and advantage to the producers aad consumers of it . 5 . Becsuse this wealth , so produced , will be distribu ted with little trouble or expense most beneficially for the advantage of all , and to their entire satisfaction . 6 . Because , uader this system , realities , and not mysteries , will occupy the atteation of all ; by which change , more valuable knowledge will be elicited among . mankind in one year than has yet been usefully introduced in a centary .

      7 . Because , under this system , justice will take the p lace of law and all differences , If It be possible for such to arise in a state of society based on the laws of

      God , will be promptly decided by arbitration , without expense to either parly , and with a view also to permanent reconcilment . Individual punishment and reward , after the present generation shall have died , and every one shall have besn edacated from birth in tho princl . pies and practices of this new system , will be altogether unnecessary , as well as prejudicial end most unjust , and therefore never adopted . The only code of laws in this system will be Nature ' s laws , made plain to all , easy of adoption , and always beneficial in practice .

      8 . Because ,- under this system , tear cannot exist . There will be no motive for it ; for man will be cordially united to man , and nation to nation , throughout the earth . Ml will be made too wise not to perceive the gross immorality , extravagant waste and loss of property , and utter madness of war , or of party or individual divisions , to give tho slightest encouragement to either of these evils . And thus Incalculable wealth wil be saved to the world , for the ass of its inhabitants .

      Arrival Of The Cbirebs Jdkk Ih Jersbt.—T...

      9 . Because , ander this system , health will take the place of diseate . The eeuiei of disease will be greatly removedfar from the whole of the population , as may be discovered by the inspection of the practical

      arrangements proposed , and the mode of conducting tho business of life , by those so placed , trained , and educated . 10 . Because , under this system , a superior mode of producing and distributing wealth , in great abundance , without creating any motive to falsehood or deception of any kind , will be adopted , and by which the interest , prosperity , and happiness of all will be essentially promoted , aud wealth and power will b » no longer objeolo of contest between individuals and nation ? ,

      In short , the difference between tha two systems , is the difference , as previously stated , between truth and falsehood , health and disease , morality and Immorality , wealth and poverty , union and disunion , or misery and happiness ; or between a very Inferior aad a very superior state of human existence . Under this view , it must be evident to those whoso axperlence enables them to grasp a more extended subject than has ever been presented to the human mind , that the difference between

      the two systems is not to be estimated In dollars and cents . But even In this respect there can be no comparison ; for the geneivi economy \ from what has been said , must be upwards of ninety per cent . In Us favo ur : bat with respect to tho formation ef character , and the enjoyment of superior happiness , there can be no comparison . The one is practical , natural , rational , and true ; tha other unnatural , irrational , and false ; tho one has pro duced evil continually , the other will produce

      goed only . Robeet Oweh Washington , June , 1816 .

      The Proposed Improvement Op Society . Th...

      THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OP SOCIETY . The difference between governing a population whose character has been based on the laws of Nature or of Ood , and one whess character has besn based on the laws of man will prove beyond present estimate . The period for introducing a system of society based on the laws of God , for remodeling the cbaraster of man and for governing the population of the earth ia peace , unity , progressive improvement , and happiness is near at hand ; and it is evident , from the signs of the times in the four quarters of the w . orld , that no human power can long resist the change .

      The governments in all countries will soon be com . pelted in their own defence to adopt this superior system , to prevent their being involved In anarchy , wars , and ruin , from within and without . This change will root up and utterly destroy the old vicious and miserable system of ignorance , poverty , individual competition , and contest , and of national wars , throughout the world—a system based on men ' s laws , in direct opposition to the most palpable facts . Instead thereof , this ehange will Introduce another system , in accordance with all facts , based on tho laws of Sod , creating an entirely new mode of human existence , In which competition , strife , and wars will cease for ever , and all will ba trained from infancy solely to promote each others happiness .

      This system can be the best commenced by convincing governments of the truth of the principles on which it is founded ; and governments , by the adoption of right measures are as capable of conviction as other classes of individuals . There must be , also , a sufficient number of individuals united , imbued with the genuine spirit of universal charity , affection , and philanthropy , and

      instructed in the best mode of applying these virtues to practice— . virtues which can emanate alono from a full and earnest knowledge of the laws of Ood . They must likewise possess patience and perseverance to overcome all the obstacles which the prejudices created by the laws of raea will oppose to their progress ; audi above all , they mast be united , have full confidence in each other , and be directed by one heart aud one mind .

      Under the system formed upon and governed by the laws of men , the great majority of the external eircumstances created by man are of an inferior and vicious

      character , while those that emanate from the system formed upon and governed by the laws of God will be of a virtuous and superior character only ; aud as theie circumstances are , so will man become .

      The People's Charter. A. Densely-Crowded...

      THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . A . densely-crowded pubUo meeting was held at tho Literary and Sciont ' ific Institute , John-stroot , Fitzroy-squwe , on Tuesday evening , March 2 lst , to call on the government to remove the 'monster wrong , under which millions of the British people suffer , by making the People ' s Charter a statute of thi . realm . ' Mr Johk SiVAGB was unanimously called to the chair , and , having related the object of the meeting , said thrones and principalities were like mummies

      exposed to the air—crumbling into dust . ( Loud cheers . ) The people had arisen in the majesty of their mirai might , and were scattering them to the whirlwinds of heaven . ( Repeated cheering . ) In 1830 , France had been deceived and deluded by Louis Philippe , but she had arisen in February , 1848 , and produced a revolution that was the admiration oi the world . ( Great cheering . ) It was tho duty of Englishmen now to press forward for the Charter , and to resolve to obtain it at all risks . ( Great cheering . )

      — Ykrnon , Esq . i came forward to malm hi ? maiden bow in the cause of Chart ! dj , and was heartily greeted . He addressed the meeting as friends and brother Chartists , and mov . d the fofiovf * ing resolution : — That the power of constituting the 1 * 0380 of

      Commons , now monopolised by the aristocracy and moaled classes , is au usurpation of the rights of tha nation ; and this meeting calls upon the legislature forthwith to redress tUU monster v » ri > iig , under which raiUiuis of the British people suffer , by making the People's Charter * statute of this realm . Ho said , he considered this country and the world at large , labouring under what he should denominate a chronic disease . The resolution very properly said the so-called House of Commons was monopolised by aristocratic and monied parties , and the wounds must be redressed or the whole body would suffer ; and he believed that the only remedy that would touch the wound at all was the FeopleV Charter . ( Loud cheers ) In alluding to the enormous sum taken annually by the Queen ' Dowager , Mr Vernon asked , ' what could such an old lady want

      with so much money , especially when eo many of bar fellow creatures were starving ? Again , there was her Majesty Queen Victoria , whose income amounted to £ 3 , 000 per week . The Queen just new was in that position when woman was most lovely , but he did not know that such a delicate position was the best calculated for the ruler of a nation ; on the contrary , should any unforeseen occurrence happen , he did not known what might become of us , unless the Regent stepped In ( Laughter followed by loud applause . ) The expenditure for Army ami Navy had been increased , and a pinery for Kew Gardens . Punch , who occasionally threw out some good things , had done so in his last brochure—namely , that the tax consumer should become the tax collector . ( Laughter and

      applause . ) The bill convening this meeting was a too close following out of the French motto— ' Liberty , Equality , Fraternity . ' Now he did not object to liberty and brotherhood ; or , as the French had it , ' Fraterniiie , ' but the word equality was open to objections and taunts . ' Oh ! ' said some , ' you desire social equality ; ' now he , ior one , did not , nor did he think it possible there ever could be social equality ; but what he desired was to abolish the inequalities of legislation . ( Loud cheers . ) But were they to go to that book to which divines pointed ( the Bible ) they would seek equality of condition —( hear , hear)—lor therein it was clearly enough indicated that' Ail men are brethren . ' ( Loud cheers . ) This was his first

      appearance as an advocate of the principles of the People ' s Charter , and he had come forward from the inmost convictions of his seul ; he had advocated other changes for ten yean * past , and was now thoroughly convinced that nothing short of the sovereignty of the people , as exemplified in the People ' s Charter , could ever right the wrongs of tho state , and accomplish perfect freedom . ( Great and prolonged cheering . ) Italians , much as they liked i t , had thrown aside smoking . There were other modes of operating on the revenue . Whatever means the people might determine on adopting , of this he was quite certain , if they were firmly resolved , it would not be many weeks before they had the Charter . ( Great cheering . ) The people were told that there was plenty

      of money in the City now ; and he , for one , advised all that had any money in the savings' bank , to go and get it , as they did not know what a day might bring forth , ( Hear , hear . ) And under peculiar circumstances , rnonermightbeof gresteervice to them , ( Loud cheers . ) Let a meeting be held in every parish , each with ita own head , all acting under the Executive Committee , and resolve to have the Charter at all hazards . ( Great cheering . ) Mr Marryat , in seconding the motion , said he had always been a Chartist from his birth — and hoped to die one—an d was happy to see such men as Messrs Vernon , Jones , Harney , andM'Grath amongst them . ( Loud cheers . ) If they only remained true to themselves , a few months would see England as free as France was now . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Ebxest Jones came forward amidst the most enthusiastic cheering , to support the resolution , and

      said , the time had now arrived when principles had to be defended by something more than wordsrhetoric was useless now , deeds were the demand of the day—and to their consideration let them proceed . ( Hear , hear . ) It was now too late to attack or defend principles—but as Mr Vernon had made a gallant speech , a good Chartist speech , he wished to point entto hia notice one mistake he bad committed . He had opposed equality—wished us to drop it from our motto , and merely keep freedom and fraternity . Without equality these could not exist—but the equality we desired was not equal misery—or equal indolence—iv waa equality of political , civil , and religious rights — and without this equality freedom could not be , nor brotherly love exist . ( Loud cheers )

      It had also been advanced , that we sheuld gain the Charter by paralysing government in abstaining from tobacco and spirituous liquors . Government were deficient in the revenue , and it was said , this would increase the deficiency . He ( Mr Jones ) doubted it . If they lost one tax they would lay on another ; the Whigs were far too skilful swindlers to let the people profit by their abstinence . ( Hear , bear . ) He was in favour of abstinence from spirits and tobacco , but the people must look to a better means , —thus while they were denying themselves a pleasure , the aristocracy would be rioting in splendour , and take with the left hand what they had passed over with the right . ( Cheers . ) He preferred quicker measures . —while the grass grows the steed

      starves , and when a few weeks would save impoverished millions , he was not one who would advise the millions to linger in misery for years . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Tho speaker then submitted to the meeting a most complete plan for the Metropolitan Chartist organisation , preparatory to the session of the National Convention . This plan was rapturously applauded by the meeting ; and in alluding to the country , he strenuously advocated simultaneous meetings , on the day for presenting the petition , throughout the country . The petition ought not lo be & petition lh \ 6 time , but , if they did their duty , it would be a command . Want of space precludes our giving an outline of the admirable plan of organisation proposed by Mr Jones , which , however , if aeted upon would soon effectuate the wishes of the people , and make the national procession no mere unmeaning show . To this he added the precautionary measures ef

      government , and adverted to how far their constitutional authority extended . This well-timed address was greeted with frequent and protracted bursts of applause , Mr Wm . Cotfat , in supporting the resolution , said , he was happy to find tlio meeting in such good humour ; he was in high spirits himself . The work went bravely on . ( Loud cheers . ) The Chartist party appeared to him to be the only party that could effectually secure such a change as would give increased value to labour , and greater security to all . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Cuffay said it might not be unwelcome to those who were newly come amongst us—and they were many—to hear the principles of the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He here recounted the several poists of the Charter , the fall of Metternich , and the despotism of Austria and Prussia , and appealed to all England , Ireland , and Scotland , to be up and doing . ( Great applause . )

      Mr Alexander Campbell said thirty years * gohe waa an advocate of all the Chartists now contend for . The sentiment that the Chartists were the only party who contended for the rights of the people had induced him to come forward , as there were parties who for many years had advocated both the moral and social rights of the people . Chartism ,

      unless accompanied with an industrial organisation , would be useless . He presumed that Chartism meant the political representation of the mawes , but they might have universal suffrage and universal suffering at the same time . _ ( Hear , hear . ) It was necessary to have an organisation of labour effected immediately—peacefully and legally effected . Political freedom would surely follow moral and social elevation . He congratulated the French on their moderation in the hour of victory , and trusted that the peof le of England would have charity to all , remembering the unfortunate circumstances under which some of their fellow-beings bad been placed .

      [ A voice from the gallery : 'Campbell , this is very cold water . ') Loud laughter , and very great applause , at which Mr Campbell resumed hia seat . Mr M'Grath came forward J amid loud cheering , and said—That with much of what had been advanced by Mr Campbell he fully concurred , but from many other things said by that gentleman , ho as widely dissented . ( Hear . ) He did not deny that other parties were seeking some amelioration of the people ' s condition—at the same time he considered Mr

      JonesjustiBedwhenhe averred the Chartists to be the only party who struggled for the whole political righla of thewhole people . ( Cheers . ) Mr Campbell claims credit for the Socialists as advocates of the rights of the people anterior to the Chartists . It is true that the Socialist name was known before that of the Chartist , but the Socialists never contended for the political rights of the people . ( Hear . ) On the contrary , the efforts of the people to gain political power- h & v , ? nolunfreauently been derided and opposed by SooiaVust lecturers . Hea * . ) M * M'Grath Uiea

      The People's Charter. A. Densely-Crowded...

      alluded to the trades of London , and to the lmmeasa power at their disposal for national emancipation . Many of the trades were represented by delegates , who held weekly meetings . A deputation was senfi last week to this delegate meeting , to request the trades to join the demonstration on the 10 th of April , but the object < vas sternly opposed by Mr Campbell . ( Disapprobation . ) This was no proof of that friendship whieh Mr Campbell professed for the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr Campbell fears that with Universal Suffrage we might have universal suffering , but his fears are no proof that such would bo the fact ; neither must they discourage your exertions ia the cause of freedom . ( Cheers . ) Mr Campbell says that it ia not republicanism that the people of France

      are concerned about , but the organisation of labour . But he would ask , what enabled the French to commence the work of social reform ? The establishment of the republic—without the republic what could they do ? Why merely theorise and speculate about the organisation of labour , as the Socialists in England have been constrained to do for years . ( Cheers . ) Ho called npon them to heed not ethereal theorists , who would distract them with their airy speculations , hut go right onward for the Charter , which would 9 . able them so to organise labour as to secure to i its just reward . ( Cheers . ) Mr M'Grath , after noticing some other objection ? of Mr Campbell ' s , said , he hoped that the people of London woi >) d make the 10 th of April a day memorable in the .-mnalsof

      English history . We must show the powers that be that the day of England ' s deliverance is at hand . We must p rove , not by violence nor outrage , but by the demonstration of an inextinguishable resolve that , come weal or woe , we will , we must , be free . ( Loud cheers . ) We must present ta the Commons the nation ' s prayer , and , if rejected , our efforts must be quadrupled . No sinking back into apathy this time . The Queen should be memorialised to im « mediately dissolve a Parliament guilty of treason to the people , and call to her councils statesmen willing to deal justice to the millions . ( Loud cheers . )

      Bright omens of success were daily occurring . The earthquake of revolution had swallowed up one tyrant dynasty upon the continent , and was rocking others to their foundation . The shock bas been felfe throughout the length and breadth of this sea-girt isle . Ireland exhibits signs of fraternisation . He eaw peerins above the horizon the morning star of the day when wo should see the sons of the rose , thistle , and shamrock , arousing themselves under tha common banner of human weal , and shaking hands over the tomb of those differences , the requiem of which would prove the hallelujah of liberty . ( Loud cheers , )

      Mr A . Cahpbem again presented himself , bat was met with . loud cries of ' sit down , ' aud groans and hisses . He intimated , that when the people had seen the resolution he had moved at the Bell , in the Old Bailey , they would be satisfied . ( Answered by shouts of' No , no ; nothing less than the Charter . ' ) After a few emphatic sentences from Mr Rouse , in favour of the resolution , it was put and carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , who acknowledged the compliment .

In fact , there has overbatn a disposition on their part to fraternise , and merge their diuvirsnces , Aad their only regret is that the recriminatory conduct of their leaders should so long have prevented It . The late meetings at Manchester and Oldham havg been nailed with enthusiasm , And they now admit that the leaders of Chartism were right in advocating a union of the English and the Irish people against the tyranny of olass-legislbtion . The speeches of Messrs Deheny and Meagher at Man . ehester will effect great Rood In Ireland . The watchword of the united people of both countries muat new ba 'England for the English , ' and 'Ir . land for the Irish . '

He recommended the Irishmen in London to learn the Irish Marseillaise hymn , and the song 'Fall , Flajr of Tyrants ; ' both of which appeared in the Dublin papers , and which he read amidst the most snthusiastie

      cheering . He then proceeded to denounce the English presj for their dishonesty to the working classes , and said , with two exceptions—the NomnisN' Star and Douglas Jehrold ' s , the people had no advocates . He ( Mr Daly ) thought it was right for tha Irishmen in England to arm . There was no treason ih saying so , for tha Constitution allowed every man to arm in self-defence . Mr Dal ; then drew the attention of the meeting to the Utter of Mr Feargus O'Connor in last week ' s No » thbsh Stab , respecting ^ Mr John Mitchel , of theUurriD Iaisnjiak , which was loudly cheersd ; and concluded an able and energetic appeal to all classes of his countrymen ia unite once again for Fatherland .

      Tbey were loudly cheered . Mr M'S weenty said , he was what they termed a Young Irolander , and Ireland re . quired , at these portentous times , a union of all classes ef Repealers ; in fact , so man could call himself an Irishman who would not unite with his countrymen for the support of such nationality , ( Loud chseriog . ) SOUTHAMPTON COKFEDERALISTS .
