Parliamentary Review. The Session Which ...
Ses us JZm kind , " aud the e ^ t . on tha -Serthev sittheie again , the present ^ e-als wiU act upon the old adage that " one good t * . i de-^ rres another , " were | eompelled to admit Mr . Danube had made out a good case , *> against Mr . S ^ publishiug the JW < P > ^ ory . We ^ no doubt that thoug h the Committee was re TZ tliedfccussion wiU have a salutary effect , and ha s the dread of a renewal of the subject will W Ho a virtual attainment of the object in view .
A question of immense importance to the working classes was debated on Wednesday—the new Bill for the regulation of Friendly Societies . When the matter was first , brought forward by Mr . Dcscombe , it was with the view of settling by a declaratory act the legality of all Societies which have been enrolled by Mr . Turn Pratt , the barrister , appointed for that purpose , and which had been made questionable by a decision of Mr . Jcstice Wightmas . Sir J . Graham did not op p ose the introduction of the bill f o r that purpose , he even appeared friendly to it , and only re quested a little time to consult with Mr . Tidd Pkatt , for the purpose of making it more effective . Be went farther , and took it ont of the hands of the
honest friend of the industrious classes who broug ht it in , and it now hppaers that be has made use of both , opportunities to "take care of it as the wolf takes care of the lamb . " The Bill not only leaves the question of legality exactly where it was , but demands that all future Societies shall have the sanction of theAttorney-gencral and the Home Secretary before being approved of by the barrister , Existing societies that mav wish to set at rest the legal question
by enrolment under the new act , must un d er g o t h e surveillance of these authorities . The animus by which they are actuated with reference to such bodies , may 5 c judged of by the undisguised avowal of Sir J . Graham , that every obstruction will be thrown in the way of making these societies auxiliary to combinations among the workmen for protection against th e agg re s sion s of their emp loyers , or procaring a fair price for their labour .
A provision in the first clause of the act , as introduced by the Home Secretary , is , "that the investment of each member shall be employed for the sole benefit of the person investing , or for his children or km , and that no party shall give his investment for the relief , maintenance , or endowment of any other person or member whatever . " Mr . Ddkcombk objected to this provision , that per sons subscribing to the funds of a society , ought to hare the power of transferring their investments bat Sir James , upon beiKg pressed , replied : — "He was afraid the accumulations of these societies , which
bare a high rate of interest , might be directed to the purpose of holding out under strikes with their employers for a long time . " Under the false pretence of improving the law relating to Friendly Societies , it will , therefore , be seen that the Home Secretary ^ is seeking to diminish the power of the operatives to stand ont for better terms in a dispute with their masters about wages . If such an object is thought proper , legal , or just , why not go about it in a straightforward and manly way , instead of insinuating such a provision into a bill professedly friendly to the industrious classes ?
That such combinations are legal there can be no doubt , that they are just is equally beyond cavil , and this shameful attempt of the Government to aid the already strongest party in all such contests , is only another proof of ihe antagonism of capital to labour which pervades the whole of our system . The only effect , hoaever , which such legislation will have will be , not to re pr es s strikes but to discoura g e Fri e ndl y Societies , and thus discourage the growth of those p rovi uv nt habits , which a re so advant a geous to the working classes , and which are at present fostered by such societies .
Apart from this consideration , it may be asked why suck enactments should be made for the poor ? A rich man who ensures his life may transfer his interest in the life insurance to another . Why should the poor man who invests h » s savings in a friendly society be denied the same right ? It is merely another added to the already too numerous proofs of the fact that "there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . " We had intended to comment upon the course taken with reference to railway legislation , butj must , defer it until our next .

The Landlords' Tyranny Preservation Bill...
THE LANDLORDS' TYRANNY PRESERVATION BILL . Already has our bold stand against the " base , bloody , and brutal Bill" had a miraculous effect upon o a r Iri s h br e th r en , who now believe that the English Chartists are their best rather than their worst friends . The work goes bravely on . The devil cannot be read a second time until we hare the prescribed number of petitions and , therefore , let not a moment be lost in carryingout what all admit to be a grand stroke of policy as well as of essential justice . It is the
Heading made Easy of ChartiMii , which our Irish friends can learn at one lesson . Pray . Pray . Pray do not relax in this j . ood service until the work is done and -well done . Let every town that has sent a petition with speed send another , and another , and another , until we cry HOLD , ENOUGH ! Ani which will not be until the unholy monster is strangled in the vice of Chartist arms . Believe us , friends , when we assure you that exertion in this direction will do lb incalculable service . Down , then , with the bloody Konster .

Jobs Willet , Xewbegis , JUlto . v , requests Mr . Geo . Xoon , of Leicester , to forward his address to Mr . W . 3 fc . W . Geees , of Leicesttr and Mr . Funrival , of Bilston , are informed by the anti-militia secretary , that the managers have declined issuing any rules until such rime as Mr . Sidney Herbert shall have made his statement . J . Pace , Brighton . —TTe cannot inform you which is the best system of short-hand . H- The lilies are inadmissable . Tou will get any in ' ormation concerning the Chartist Association by applying to the sub-secretary , at the Carpenters' Ilall , Manchester . Meetings are held there evtry Sunday evesunir .
A Cosstast Keades . —Like you we greatly admire Eliza Cook' s Foetry , but the lines iu praise of that lady are not stirring enough to suit the columns of the Star . A . S . Makchesteh . —We should have no objection to " shout O'Connor ' s praise , " provided the shouting was in good poetry , but this not being the case , we must respectfully decline inserting the lines . B . 1 * . Locchbobocch . —The lines will not do . If the two p ieces by the late J . H . Bramirich , have not been published , send them to this office . H . M .

Mr . Heywood , 58 , Oldham Street , Manchester , has purchased our stock . We cannot inform you of Mr . fi ' s charge to Agents . You bad better write to him . Y . B . —We dont know the address of Mr . Parker , General Secretary to the Tailors Protection Society . Actho * am * Cevieweb . —Very much against our own judgment and against the established rules of common sense and etiquette , in deference to Mr . Harney ' s feelings , we have submitted to the infliction of opening the columns of the Xortiarn Star to a kind of cross fire between Authors who do not relish the reviews of their works and the reviewer who is called upon first to read them and then to comment . In many cases this duty is quite hardship enough without having the duty of self defence imposed upon the Reviewer . Let the reader only for a moment rifled ; upon the incessant squabbling to which such course
must inevitabl y lead . An author writes a book and submits it for criticism , the critique docs not suit his taste , and straightway he Delates himself to an attacK upon the reviewer : not to talk of the shackles thus sought to b < imposed up » n criticism , could anvthiug be more ridiculous or prolific of dispute than such a course if once tolerated . It is perfectly fair and open to the author to seek another medium ' of attack , but we believe it is unprecedented in the history of Sewspapers to submit to the chastisement of authors who are displeased with the reviews of an E-litor . It may be a good and cheap mode of advei tiring , but by no means a jast one for analysing the merits of a publication . Many attempts have been made to subject the Editorial articles of the Star to the same Court of Appeal , but we still preserve sufficient respect for the Jrpi & nate prerogative of the prets , to reject si ) auesiipi ; to force us into ar offence or controversy

upon Editorial articles ; and we must henceforth observe the same rule with regard to literary critiques . Ourselves akd our Rsviewebs . —The first step in error is sure to be followed by another . We bad scarcel y concluded the above when we received the following resolution from Manchester , upon which we shall make not a single comment ; but , as we have transgressed a rule in Mr . Cooper ' s case , we certainly owe as much courtesy to our Manchester friends . As , then , we have declined commenting upon the transaction we shall simply say , that no allusion whatever was made to either Mr . Leach , or Mr . Donovan , who fairly and OPEKLY discharged their duty . The allusion was to parties who do not take the same open means of discussion , and against whose systematic practice of uu .
dermimng the Executive those gentlemen receive ample woof , but will not , under any circumstances whatever , be seduct d into a war of letter writing . We have now performed an act which we never will repeat , and which every man of common sense must see would be destructive of the Liberty of the Prese . We receive more pokes ourselves than all our thin-skinned friends together . " Resolved , That this meeting are of op inion that the language made use of in a leading article in the Star of Saturday , April 11 th , appears to insinuate that two of the delegates , Leach and Donovan , were aiming a side blow at the existence of the Board of Directors acting as both Executive and Directors . We , therefore , demand an explanation whether the Manche * Ier
delegates , as above-named , are the parties meant or not , as the resolutions broug ht forward by them at the meeting of the delegates were the instructions given to them by die meeting that elected them . " Maschesteb . —A meeting of the shareholders in the Chartist Co-operative Land Society will be held in Carpenters Hall , on Sunday next , at ten o'clock in the forenoon . Ma .

TO THE SUB . SECKETAH 1 P . S AN'ft OFFICERS OF THE CHARTIST LAND SOCIETY . The artoiii-hing progress made by the Society in having already computed the first secfionj afturds the officers a reasotuble and legitimate ground of .-elf congratulation , but , at t e same time , we must not furget that it imposes an additional degree of care and resjwiisibility . Wc are enteriujj on a new era in our official duties ; the formation of the second section necessarily entails a degree of complication i-i the accounts of which they have hitherto bcendi-ested ; t < i guard against this complication proving dutriuitnt-. il to the proBjiei-ts of the . Society . I have to request that each sub-secretary will send me the name of every number in Lis locality , the amount of money he had paid up to the 1 Sth of April , and the number of s . arcs thathepussease . ' . This list must be made strictly correct , as it will be kept intact , and entirely di tinct from the second section . I have further to request that the be wntten
names may as legibl y .-md correct as possible , we having fallen into several errors through the names of individuate being spelled in various wavs and with various Christian names . In remitting moiiev the officers must be careful to express distinctl y the section to which the money is to be appropriated , and to detail the Mime in their lists sent to me . > : «•! , branch will open a distinct portion < , f tlicir account-hook fur the second section .

Foreign Affai Rs. Poland And Italy . The...
FOREIGN AFFAI RS . POLAND AND ITALY . The Universal German Gazette of the 12 th instant publishes the following letter , d ated Cracow , 5 th instant : — " The officer of the militia , M . Dueillowic * who betrayed the conspirators to the authorities , and apprised them of the hour fixed for the explosion of the insurre c tion , has been struck with apoplexy , a nd is at present in the hospital . A nervous fever prevails amongst the Austrian corps of occupation in this city . Letters from Warsaw state that the governor of that city has adopted strong measures to preserve order
The troops sleep in the streets , and at ei ght o'clock the houses are closed . We are ignorant of the state of Gallicia , as all communication has been interrupted . Wc merely knowjthat th . > peasants had not yet returned to their duty . Tlie Austrian armv had suffered some loss in the forest of Niepolowidcc . The insurgents dug pits , which they covered with loose earth , and wh e n the cav a lry char g ed , several were dismounted and put to death without meror . When in want of provisions , the peasants advance to Bochnia , aud even to Wretitzka . At Bogasen , in the Duchy of Posen , an attempt at insurrection was made , and eight or ten persons were wounded . "
Letters from Itaiyslate . thatn o t o nl y ' m Lombard * - but in Sardinia , Modena , and the Papal States , great iears of an outbreak are entertained ; it is asserted that the Italian refugees have been joined by the 1 oles residing in France and England .
* 011 MIDABLE PROGRESS OF THE PEASANT WAR . We take the following from the Times of Thursday : — Our private letters from Germany state that the disturbances in Gallicia have not yet tt rminated , and that the ruwl population , misled by the promises of the Communist propaganda , cannot be put down without the employ - ment of a large military force . During the revolution at Cracow the people rose against their masters , but they now continue opposed to all authority ; communications with the capital are intercepted ; and the ferer of insurrection is spreading ou every side . The following appears in the Daily Neivs of the sirae day : —
Matters are taking a serious turn in Gallicia , and the peasants are becoming more formidable than the tirgt insurrection at Cracow ; and if some of the accounts in the German papers are to be trusted , a civil war with all its horrnrs is imminent . The JTitremlKr ^ Gazette states— "Wehave received accounts from Lemberg of the 8 th April , which announce that the district of Jaslau is threatened with a , civil war , and if strong reinforcements do not arrive speedily , the worst is to be feared . The peasants pillage and burn iu every quarter ; they number about six thousand , ami have driven back the troops sent to oppose them . These troops , which were but iu small number , had received orders to he moderate , and to fire iu the air if possible ; but the peasants were not to be daunted , and rushing on the troops killed fifty men , they then retired to the woods , and elated witli success they burnt aud pillaged the villages aud the castles of the neighbourhood . "
Good Pridity , which had been announced as the dny fixed for a new rising , has passed quietly by ; but there is something brewing , and the news of another rising in different p & rte of the country would not cause astonishment . At Posen , though all is seemingly quiet , the strictest measures of precaution are still adhered to , and there were tumours afloat of a rising at Kurnick , but this has not been confirmed , but it iscerCain that more arrests hare taken place . The Laadratb , or Councillor of the district had been fired at .
In Prussia tranquility is restored , and the Prussian goveromeut is universally praised for its mildnes ami humane conduct towards the prisoners . The only reproach and it is a serious one , cast on Prussia , is to have given ap the insurgents who had sought refuge on her territory . Some of these unfortunate men , at the moment ol being given up to the Russian authorities , precipitated themselves into the river Drerentz , which runs along the frontier , and found a watery grave . FCXEBAL SeUVICB FOR THE MARTYRED POLES . —A grand funeral service was celebrated in the Church o f th e l i ati gnoleson Tuesday , in memory of the victims of the last insurrection in Poland . Above the gate were attached the arms of Poland amidst
trophies composed of the national nag . In the interior of the church , which was entirely hung in black , stood a catafalque , surrounded with farces of arms . On its sides were inscribed these words , " Zarski Kosciszewski , a nd P a nt a le o n P o tocki , " the Polish insurgents lately executed at Warsaw and Siedlce ; and beneath them this single word , "Tarnow , " which represented the names of the 800 victims murdered in that circle . The parish priest , assisted bv the Polish secular clergy resident in Paris , and the clergy of the Batignolet , officiated on the occasion , and after mass , the pupils of the Polish school chanted the death hymn in their native language . A number of deputies aud peers were present at the ceremony , and amongst others Messrs . Vavin and d'Harcourt , members of the Polish Committee .
The most important news from FRANCE is that relating to the attempt on the Life of Lovis 1 ' niuvPE , a notice of which appeared in the later editions of the Star of last Saturday . Further particulars will be found in another column . This attempt of a . discontented mtn « al of Louis Philippe ' s own household has been made a peg on which to hang a tremendous amount of newspaper declamation , intended to show how great would have been the Io < s we should all have experienced if the old usurer had not met with his usual luek in escaping the contents
of Lecomte's " regicide gun . " An awful amount of trash has been written and spoken about the " providential preservation" of the King of the Barricades , and amongst others by Sir R . Pebl at the Lord Mayor ' s " spread" on Wednesday , For ourselves we abhor a s sassination ( althou gh we have alwa ; s justified tyrannicide ) but wc must confess that oiir sympathies are not so much with Louis Philippe as with the countless victims of his rule , assassinated by his agents to shield his treachery , and protect hi .- > usurpation . Wc have given some particulars elsewhere of the
SPAIN , Accounts from Madrid of the 13 th instant , announce the defeat of the body of insurgents commanded by General Iriaiite , on the lltk , near Astorea , with the loss of one killed , six wounded , and 165 prisoners . General Iriarte effected his escape . It is , howev e r , by no means certain that the insurrection is crushed , on the contrary , a letter from Santander , dated the 18 th instant , states that "it is asserted , and th e isscrtion gains credit here , that the Lugo pronun-: iamento has spread to Santiago , Oreuse , Ponteve-Ira , Corunna , and F e rr o l ; in sh ort , that | the whole ) f Gallicia is in a state of warfare . General de Concha , who , after his victory over Iriarte , in the neig hbo u rho od of B n nnez a , had advanced upon Santiago , has found it necessary to fall back on Astorga , thus leaving Gallicia in the hands of the insurgents , flit Basque provinces and Navarre are tranquil ,
but sinister rumours are prevalent with respect to the Austrias , where both Oviedo and Gijon are said to be on the point of pronouncing . The new Cabinet is already in danger . The Ministers arc said ( by El HeruHo ) to have differed ( particularly Istuiutz and Caxkja ) on the subject of General Co . vciia ' s conduct to the rebels tiken in arras , and he has given offence by not having at once shot the unhappy prisoners ; and it is added , that a severe reprimand , and that orders on this point have been despatched . The correspondent of the Times remarks that one feeling exists amount the people of every party , and that is , that there is no prospect el tranquility in any shape for the country until the Q , uceii Mother and her husband are turned out of it ; and to this things must come at last . The draft of the new constitution for the Canton ol Bernein
, SWITZERLAND , is published in the Ami de la Constitution . It proclaims the sovereignty of the people ; the light of vote by all persons of good character , who have attained the age of twenty-one , and reside in the canton ; and the power of dismissal of the members of the Grand Council by the assemblies of the people . From IT A LY , wc learn that the agitation in Lombardy grows apace . Field-Marshal General IUdetzky has demanded more troops . Some of the public functionaries at Milan have been found dead in the streets shot by air-guns .

BARNSLEY . On Wednesday , the loth of April , the walls of this town were placarded with large bills , containing the announcement "that James Brontcrre O'Brien , the political schoolmasti r , " would address the inhabitants in the theatre " On the propriety of petitioning Parliament against Peel ' s revolutionary tariff . " Admission free . The wealthy seboolmas ' er in his burning zeal for the people ' s interest , paid all expenses , a fact which sets the question at rest as to whose base tool lie is . At the hour announced for the business of the evening he had not made his
appearance , but another pcrton , who pretended he was a delegate from the silk trade at Spitalfields , was there . O'Brien ' s party nominated a chairman—half a d (« n is about the extent of their strength . No opposition was offered , and he t oo k possession of the chair with an air of very grave authority , and called upon the Spitalfields gentleman to address the meeting , who commened with a heap of incoherent sluil about getting his protection principles from the Northern e ' tar . and having Mr . Philip M'Grath ' s sanction for his present movement . Mr . George Utley asked him from what source he derived his wages . Ue replied , from the silk w e av e rs ' com-

humbly requested to know whether the meeting would hear him or not ? When he got leave to proceed , he comm e nted on the "tremendous sacrifices " he had made for the working classes , and added he knew from whence their opposition to him arose , but nothing could be proved against liim . He then by mystification for his protection Torv masters , endeavoured to get a show of hands , wiien Mr . Frank Mirneld stopped him , and declared that no sophistry or cunning would succeed with a Earnslcy audience , and moved an amendment to his proposition . ' * That it is the opinion of this maeting that the commercial state ot this country render P « el ' s tariff necessary , " which was carried by an overwhelming majority . Mr . John Ward then charged O'Brien with an act of
direct treason to the people in publishing the foolish and wicked letters of his friend Ashton relative to the Welch outbreak , which treason would have made Judas blush . It had always been believed by most people , that John Frost never intended anything like an outbreak , but merely a demonstration in favour of Vincent , who was then confined in Monmouth Gaol , and the petitions were always framed in accordance with that belief , but now the matter wore a different aspect . O'Brien and his worthy coadjutor had proved the reverse , —supposing their words or oaths to be wot tha straw , which they are not , but still their statements served as a pretext for Ward's Weekly Chronicle , declaring that the reason Duncomb e ' s motion failed was because of these "
exposures . " Yet this fellow O'Brien had had the audacity to heap all kinds of abuse on the members who voted against the exile ? , b ut who did so on the evidence of Ashton , made known to the world by himself ( O'Brien ) throug h his w ret c h ed r ag p rinted in the Isle of Man . It was filled full every week with ly in g a bus e o f a man as much his sup e rior as good is to evil , truth to falsehood—Feargus O'Connor . ( At the mention of Mr . O'Connor ' s honoured name , the building rung with cheers . ) That gentleman ( Mr . O'Connor ) had done more towards ameliorating the people ' s condition in a few short months , than
0 ttrien would do in the course ot ages , could Ins precious existence be continued so long . Mr . W a rd concluded by moving " That it is the opinion of this meeting that B . O'Brien is a political renegade , and the base tool of the dregs of the Tory faction called Protectionists , " which wasseconded by several voices , and carried by acclamation . Mr . Thomas Ilebden moved that three hearty cheers be given for the people ' s champion , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and the Northern Star , which were accordingly given by the stentorian voices of the assembled multitude . Thus ended O'Brien's humbug in Barnsley : it is needless to say Thursday ' s meeting never took place .
OLD BASFORD , NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . At a public meeting of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society held at the above place the following resolution was carried unanimously : — Resolved , " That we view with regret the attempt to separate the Land question from the Chartist movement , and w hile the Executiv e p ursue t he str a i g htf o rw a rd course iliey have hitherto done , they are entitled to the confidence of all honest men : —having stood by us in the hour of adversity , we arc assured they will not desert in the time of prosperity .

" Mr . James Taylor moved the next
resolution , which was seconded by Mr . J , Monarch" That this meeting disclaims a ' l connection with the unconstitutional and coercive measures of a government steeled to barbarity by the continued perpetration of injustice and w ron g , and also pledges itself to assist the Irish nation in its constitutional struggl es to o b tain an imperial justice and equal laws . " The substance of the petition contained in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter last week , was proposed by Mr . John Mane in a manner calculated to arouse the deepest sympathy of the meeting , which indeed appeared to fully enter into the feelings of the speaker . It was seconded by Mr . William Chapel ( our local poet ) , in a speech of superior ability , supported by Air . Dickenson , and carried with loud acclamation .
BRIGHTON . Dowx with tiie "Base , Brutal , and Bloody Bill . "—A spirited and enthusiastic meeting was held in th e l a r g e ro o m of t he Arti ch ok e Inn , on Monday evening , April 20 , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the measure now pending in the House of Commons , for the coercion of Ireland . Mr . George Giles was unanimously called on to preside , who read the bill convening the meeting , and opened the business of the evening in an appropriate address . Mr . Woodward , in a speech replete with sound arguments , proposed the first resolution , viz . — " That it is the opinion ol this meeting , that the measure now pending in P a rliamen t for t h e coercion of Irel a n d , is tyrannical in the
extreme , and utterly uncalled for ; this meeting therefore resolves to petition against and oppose the said measure by . all constitutional means . " Mr . John Nailard seconded , and Mr . Fioner supported the resolution , which , on bein g p ut from the chair , was unanimously adopted . Mr . John Page , in an able manner , in which he depicted many of the wrongs oi Ireland , moved the adoption of the national petition , which having been seconded by Mr . Mitchell , and supported tiy many persons in the room , was carried unanimously . Mr . C . F . C . Barnes proposed the next resolution— " That a committee of seven persons be appointed ( with power to add to their number ) to obtain signatures to the said petition ; and that the following persons do form such committee , namel y ,
Mr . Flower , Mr . John Page , Mr . Tullett , Mr . Williams , Mr . Uoser , Mr . Giles , and Mr . John Davcy , carried without a dissentient . Mr . Ock e nden , Mr . Mitc h el l , Mr . John Rose and Mr . Lawless , were then added to the committee . Mr . John Davey prop osed , and Mr . Barnes seconded the following resolution— " That Danial O'Connell , Esq ., be requested to present the said petition in the House of Commons ; and the members of this borough be requested to support the prayer thereof . " Several persons having spoken to this resolution , it was also carried . Mr . William Johnstone ( a Repealer and a native ot Scotland ) , in a lengthy speech , in which he eulogised Mr . O'Connor , depricatipt the differences between Mr . O'Connell and Mr . O'Connor , moved the
following resolution— ' ¦ J bat a vote of thanks is due to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his strenuous exertions against the present Coercion Bill for Ireland . " The proposer coacluded by stating " thatat the first Irish Repeal meeting he attended he would move a similar resolution . " Mr . Lawless ( nn Irishman and a Repealer ) seconded the resolution ; he said he came there that evening little thinking that he should take part in its proceedings ; bnt after what he had seen that evening , and heard the expressions of Englishmen in favour of his country , his former prej u d ices , for he had been prejudiced against the English Chartist , were dispelled , and he now saw the necessity of a determined union of the English and Irish working classes , and he should avail hims e lf of
future opportunities to meet them again ; for of all Repeal meetings he had attended ( ami he had been to many ) he had never been so delighted as he had been that evening . He thanked the meeting , and s at down byseconding the resolution . The chairman having put it to the Meeting , it was carried by acclamation . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up . After signing the p eti t ion , several took sheets to obtain signatures . Among the company during the evening were a good sprinkle of Irishi . ien , who seemed to enter with all their souls into our proceedings , and we do hope that this is the dawning of better days , and a better understanding between the Irish Repealers and English Chartists .
HAMILTON . Tub Coercion Bill . —A public mee'ing was held in this place , on Thursday , to petition Parliament against the "Irish Coercion Bill . " Mr . Hugh O'Niel ( an Irishman of the true stamp ) being unanimously called to the chair .

" lie then introduced Mr . J oh n Stew a rt , who moved the following resolution : — That this meeting is of opinion , that tho " Coercion Hill for Ireland" is unjust iu principle , most oppressive in its nature , and an insult tot the people of that misgoverned country ; mid if curried into effect , will tend rather to increase crime , than to diminish it .
Mr . Stewart ably seconded the resolution ; he maintained l hit it was not only uu insult to Ireland , but also to the eivili * d world . He entered into a lengthy discription ofthatcotintiy , from the eleventh century , and proved that its inhabitants had been not only misgoverned , misre p resente d , but also , misled . Mr . A .

The following resolutions were agreed to : — That in the opinion of this meeting the measure nowbeing brought forward by her Majesty's government , for in putting down of a few lawless individuals in Ireland who hare taken away life is unjust in the highest degree , as it punishes alike the innocent with the guilty . We , therefore , pledge ourselves to use our best endeavours to prevent being passed into a law the measure now pending before Parliament , which makes it a crime for the people oflrelund to be out of their homes after eight o ' clock at night .
That in the opinion of this meeting , the experience of all o * es of the world hasproved how futile arc the endeavours of oppression to stay the march of mind or by principles ot Coercion . That the canker-worm which is gnawing at ilio vitals of Ireland is tyranny and injustice—that instead of Coercion the people of Ireland want employment , bread to feed them , and clothing for their nakedness . The abolition of a State Church , at variance with their recognised creed , social and political equality to the lord and the peasant , and these things alone can remove crime from Ireland , and cement it imlissoluuly to the British Crown and the British Empire .

That we request thu two dt legates to the forthcoming Convention , to support the throne of both Chartist Executive and L-ind directors in the same persons , and we consider the ptcscnt officers fully adequate to the offices imposed on them .

chair , and stated some questions likely to occupy the Conference , especially the attempt to separate the two office s o f L and dir ec t o r s a nd Charti s t Executive , and elect separate persons to fill each office , a plan which , if fallowed out , would be certain ruin to the Chartist cause , and seriously injure the Land movement . When the present officers declared they were unable to perforin the work assigned then ) , let them cry out and they would allow them help , but he wa s of opinion if there was no fund there would be no complaint ; nor any desire to elect another body separate and distinct for Chartist purposes . What was
