" the \ vTrigs paid into the hands of the . - ^ t lwcholas , an annual sum taken from this t— 's revenue , Tfhicli most materially helped " in " lis murderous crusade against the Polish triots . ^ n ta s ^ &*&& *&& more damnable !* ^ ngs to tie "Whigs ; they are accused by iTse who should know the truth , men of their own . 0 f g iving secret information to theKussian Gov ernment , of the efforts made in this country to help
Poles . They did this by breaking tpen letters at Post Office , and communicating the correspon-, „ ro Russian government ; this enabled the Russians to be fully prepared for the shipment of rms f rom this country ; and which arms , though concealed in sugar hogsheads , & c , were seized before reaching the Polish frontier . Even after the solution bad succumbed , the violation of private correspondence continued , and " hundreds of men , ff omen , and children , were seized , flogged , and transported to Siberia , m consequence of such informatiOtt . "f
Behold the horrors and the evils which have rented from the treachery of the French and English governments . In one year , ( 1832 , ) 2 , 058 Poles had their property confiscated . Upwards of 60 , 000 u narmed refusees , driven back into Poland hy Prussia and Austrian bayonets , were exiled to Siberia , jolted into the armies of the Caucasus to fight agains t the Circassians ; condemned to slavery in jnines and fortresses , or—as was the case with some thousands—shot , flogged io death , hang , or poisoned . With these barbarities there was accompanied the hellish atrocities perpetrated upon hundreds of women , followed by the stealing , transportation , and murder of little children , to the number of
some thousands . Then followed the religious persecutions , with other abominations which we have not space to catalogue , nor patience to write of , for our veins run fire at the recollection of these atrocities . Here is a list of martyrs , who are merely the few—the mighty master-spirits who represent the thousands of victims whose names sleep with them , in that repose " where the wicked cease from troubling , and the weary are at rest : "—

heroes who fell in the revolution , but are the names of martyrs since the revolution , and , we repeat , only the leading spirits and representatives of the 7 iamplp ? s thousand ' s who have shared their martyrdom . At some future time we will inform our readers of the wondrous exploits , and daring deaths of some of the above heroes . We should add , that the above list includes none of the victims who have fallen since February last . These must form the subject of another article . We have a list of the principal victims in the Tarnow massacre , with a brief account of the manner of some of their deaths , rivalling , if not exceeding in honor , the most awful atrocities ever committed by barbarian Tartar , or savage cannibal . That list shall bepublished in our next ; at least one English paper ihall proclaim the crimes of Imperial assassins .
We say nothing now of the late outrage , the seizure of Cracow , that is a subject not to be disposed of in half-a-dozen lines , and that , with many Other subjects connected with unhappy Poland , shall have full justice at our hands before we close this series of articles . People of Great Britain and Ireland , we appeal to you . by your devotion to liberty , your love of justice , and your hopes of happiness , to give your fraternal aid to your wronged Polish brethren On this return cf Poland's anniversary , let but one pulsation move ftehearts of all—the determination that POLAND SHALL AGAIN BE FREE .

Weekly Review. The Week Presents Few Poi...
WEEKLY REVIEW . The week presents few points for notice or comment . As usual , Ireland excites the greatest anxiety and interest ; and , unfortunately , the comparative loll in its troubled condition , which has been observable for the last few weeks , is again disturbed . The approaching completion , in many instances , of the public works voted at the baronial sessions , and the consequent cessation of work and wages , is
renewing the disturbances in various quarters , and the prospects for the future are most g loomy . There never will , there never can be , any remedy for this state of things , until we have a legislature and government wise enough and bold enough to attack the evil at its root , and destroy the monopoly in land . Uniil then , Ireland will prove the rock on which every succesrive administration that may be formed will founder , no matter of what parry it is composed .
The split between ''Old" and " Young ' ' Ireland widens daily ; "W . S . O'Brien and the Nat ion are throwing off the reserve and . respect with which they so far treated O'Connell . The sword is drawn , in a short time the scabbard will be thrown away , and the encounter become deadly . It does not require the gift of prophecy to say who will be conquerors . O'Connell has deserted the Irish nation , and it will in turn , and most justly , desert ** " »• At the present he is all but forsaken ; the parties who . surround him are , with very few exceptions , and these of little influence , mere
placehunteis , vermuTwho have lived upon the popular movements which O'Connell has orig inated and controlle d . They are known and despised . While the open ^ dimWmhing treachery of O'Connell himself , his shamel ess dispensation of the Government patronage among the sycophants and servile crew who follow "hn , and his open abandonment of Repeal , by consen ting this year to dine with the " Reform Club , " though the toast of the " Repeal of the Union " tos not given ; notwithstanding he had previously 'k & ied to attend on that ground—all foreshadow a speed y and an appropriate end to his long career ° f charlatanism . The Nation openl y accuses him of having delibfintd hartered the interests , the hopes , and the

honour of the country , for a share or a monopoly in the distribution of Government patronage ; and adduces facts to prove the assertion . The young blood of the country will rise up against his conduct , and old humbug will be trampled in the dust in the contest . O'Connell was stronger when backed by the confidence of the people , than when virtually dispensing the patronage and the emoluments of the Yice-Regal Lodge .
One would have imagined that the party who , by false pretences , sneaked into office at the close of last year , would have tried to keep at least ONE promise made by their chief . Upon no subject have the Whigs been more magniloquent at all times than National Education . And in Lord John Russell ' s address to the electors of the City , on presenting himself for re-election after his appointment to office , that question was given a prominent place in his enumeration of the measures required , and which , by implication , if not direct pledge , he promised to introduce .
That announcement led to the belief that some such measure would be forthcoming next Session , and a hot , though somewhat prosy , discussion forthwith took place among the partisans of voluntary and State Education . The valiant Edward Baines the younger , led the voluntary principle in the Leeds Mercury , and was followed by other Dissenting Journals , with strong protests against the principle of national instruction , which they represented as
replete with " treasons , stratagems , and spoils " against public liberty . They also drew the most appa'ling pictures of the results it would producers well as the most absurd and outrageous representations of the present amount of education . If these saintly and profitmongering Journals really cared one farthing about popular liberty , perhaps we might have on this occasion given them some credit for their conduct , hut the shallowest acquaintance with them is sufficient to lead to the conclusion that bv
popular liberty they mean their own exclusive power over the consciences and pockets of their dupes . On the other hand , the advocates of the national principle , " nothing loath , " met the Dissenters with statistics , assertions and counter-statements , and the wordy warfare has shown at least on both sides great industry aud not a small amount of earnestness . Of course the presumption was , on both sides , that they were fighting about a reality , aud that the discussion would materially influence the
nature of the measure it was assumed Lord John was at work upon ? It now seems that they were altogether mistaken . The Herald asserts with the utmost confidence that " there is no intention whatever , on the part of the Government , of proposing any scheme of National Education . " If this be true , on what grounds do the Whigs mean to base the retention of office , what conceivable reason will there be left for tolerating them even for a single night on the Treasury bench ?
The deputation appointed at the metropolitan meetings for opening the ports gave the Premier an opportunity of showing both obstinacy and rudeness . After the presentation of the memorials last Saturday , his Lordship explained that it was not " a necessity" that would induce him to open the ports , as he had been understood to say on a former occasion , hut " an extraordinary necessity . " One of the deputation natur illy asked , what Lord John ' s conception of an extraordinary necessity might be ?
at the same time quoting a few of those instances of appalling destitution and suffering which are unhappily so abundant . The haughty and ill-mannered Whig deigned no further reply to this request and statement than to jump up from his seat with a cold , "I have no further explanation to give , " and leave the astonished deputation to make the best of their way to the door ! Civility is cheap to everybody . In a Minister it is a duty , and the bad taste , not to say want of tact , which conld commit such a breach of convention ? , propriety needs no
comment . The staple manufactures of the country continue in an exceedingly depressed condition . The grand effects that were predicted to flow from Free Trade and an extension of commerce are yet to come . We are realizing the truth of the proverb , " that though onp man may lead a horse to the water twenty can't make him drink . " We forced the Chinese to open six ports for trading with us , and sent over cargoes of our cotton goods to them , but we could not force them to buy . They are now , we believe , lying rotting in the warehouses . This is a fair explannation of the nature of that trade , to which the Free Traders were wont to attach so much
importance . The manufacturers of Yorkshire and Lancashire are now , if we are rightly informed , beginning to find this out , and their only hope of recovery from their present depression rests on the spring trade of that "home market" which has been so much overlooked and by some so systematically decried .

The Swords So Recently Fleshed On The Ba...
The swords so recently fleshed on the banks of the Sutlej , are not likely to grow rusty ; a war in Cashmere promises to find employment for our troops for some months to come . In March last , when the affairs of Punjaub were being " settled , " Sir Henry Uardinge thought proper to hand over a large portion of the dismembered Sikh territory to a treacherous ruffian , named Gholab Sing , who was forthwith installed "Maharjah . " Amongst the districts made over to this Gholab was the far-famed Vale of Cashmere ; the inhabitants , however , did not relish the rule of this British-manufactured " prince , "
refused to acknowledge him , and now , are engaged in resisting his authority by force of arms . The Sheik of Cashmere , ( to whom the people are much attached , ) though the son of a Sikh , has assumed the Mahomedan designation of Emirrooi-Moomemin , has declared himself independent , and has twice defeated the troops despatched by Gholab to bring him to order . The Mahomedan tribes of the neighbourhood are marching to the aid of the Cashmeiians , and it is said that the
Affghans , with Akhbar Khan at their head , are on their way to swell the torrent against Gholab , and to measure swords once again with the British ; for the British are indeed engaged in this ' disgraceful war , prosecuted for the purpose of imposing upon the people of Cashmere a sovereign they detest . This way be productive of dishonour—and perhaps defeat to onr soldiers , but it can be productive of no good . A bloody revolution in Napaul is ve ; y likely to afford a pretext for further interference , and propablymore " annexations .
The French journals have been main ' y occupied with the latest outrage against Poland , the seizure of Cracow . The pretended indignation of the Journal daVtbats and the other dynastic journals is mere fudge , intended to throw dust in the eyes of the French people ; the articles in the Reforme , National , and Democratic Pacifique , are of a very different stamp , they justly and loudly inveigh against the new spoliation . We shall return to this subject .
There is no decisive news from Portugal . At the time of writing this we have two contradictory reports before us , one representing that Sa da Bandeira had been defeated by the Queen's general at Chaves ; and the other representing that it was Cazal who was defeated , and that Sa da Bandeira had been victorious .

Piace Socim .-Elihu Burritt , the celebrated American writer and philanthropist , delivered a lecture in the Hall of Commerce , in favour of the principles of peace , on Tuesday evening . The place was crammed , and many thousands , among whom were some Members of Parliament , went away because they were unable to gain admission . The lecturer discussed tha subject in all its more important bearings , and with a fervid eloquence expatiated « n the honors of war , and the blejsioga of peace ,

, . We beg to arm attention to the following hearttouching letterjfrom the wife of one of the Newport victims ; comment would but weaken the appeal .
TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Esq . March 3 , 1846 . Sir , —My distressed situation , can alone plead for my thus intruding myself upon your notice , I being the widow of thelate unfortunate William Jones , who was transported with Frost and Williams , as being leaders in the late riotsat Monmouth . Under no other circumstances than the present , would I have been persuaded to address you , but I can assure you , lam suffering the most extreme want : being deprived of him to whom I looked for support , I am entirely now depending upon my own exertions , needle work , and my health failing me , I am frequently unable to earn enough to provide bread . I have no one to look
to for even a loaf , having left my friends for some time ( not being able to bear their reproaches ) , and now , as a last resource , I throw myself upon your kind consideration , to know if something cannot bo done for me . Much has been done for the widow of Frost , and as I have thus long endeavoured to do without seeking relief , I trust my appeal may not be in vain . I do not ask it for luxury , but common support , which my health is sinking last for want of , and the trials I have to encounter none can imagine but myself , but this I do know , that unless something is done for me , I cannot long survive my difficulties . May these few lines claim your consideration , and be the means of obtaining relief to Your distressed , and humble servant , Eliza Jones .

Poor Law Cbdeltt.—Thomas Smith, Of Winso...
Poor Law Cbdeltt . —Thomas Smith , of Winsoredge , near Nailsvrortli , Gloucestershire , writes us that lie had a mother , a widow , seventy years of age and infirm , who being poor and having hor goods distrained for renf came to live with him . T . S . is a poor man , and his necessities compelled liim to apply to the relieving officer of the union for seme assistance for his mother , hut was refused . lie them applied to the medical officer who gave him an order for immediate relief , this procured her two shillings . Although the medical officer , had said the poor woman was not fit to betaken to the workhouse , yet on tho 3 rd instant , the relieving officer came to the home of T . S . and took
her away . The poor creature cried and begged that she might not betaken to the workhouse , and T . S . told the relieving officer what the medical officer had said ; to this the relieving officer replied that , "he Would be bound to have his arm cut from his body , if he had not a certificate in his pocket from the medical officer to certify that the workhouse was the best place for her . " Accordingly the poor woman was taken away , The medical officer subsequently assured T . S , that he had not given any certificate to the relieving officer , nor knew anything of the poor woman ' s removal until after her arrival at the workhouse . T . S . subsequen tly complained to one of the guardians , but could get no redress . On the 2 Gth T . S . received r . ews of the death of his mother who had died in the Gloucester Asylum abo « t ten days after her removal from home . Such is the way in which tho aged poor are treated , got rid ofmurdered according to law ! Universal Language . —Sib , —The present era . seems
prolific of ItagueismforwehaveAnti-CornLuw Leagues Universal Brotherhood Leagues , Ac ., how long shall it be before we shall liave a League for Universal Language ? Such a League as that is I consider of paramount importance and no time should be lost in organising it . But , perhaps the querist will ask how is this to be accomplished ? The first step would bo to get a complete natural alphabet to represent every sound of the human voice ; if all nations would adopt this alphabet by calling all the characters by the same name , then by the aid of an Universal Dictionary wo might soon he able to read untranslated , the works and newspapers of all nations , The Phonqtypic alphabet is based on this principle , and it ' the friends of progression of all nations would form themselves into a League and adopt it , adding new characters for the few remaining foreign sounds , I have no doubt in a few years we should liave a perfect world ' s alphabet . A PU . 'NOORAFHEK ,
The Basket Makebs . —A person calling himself George Hewett , of 131 , Livery Street , Birmingham , sends us a letter condemning a statement which appeared in the Star of November the 14 th , headed , " Persecution of Basket Makers . " Geergc Hewett , in shocking bad English , furiously clminpi-jnises the master * , and denounces the men . We strongly suspect working , men , or pretended working-men , who try to run down their own order . If tho master basket makers have anything to say in their own defence they shall have
room . Municipal Elections . —W . Hosier , of Coventry , informs us that three years ago the Chartists of Coventry elected David Buckney , a Chartist , a member of the Town Council for Whitefriars Ward . The result of this triumph has been that St . Mary ' s Hall , a fine old public building , which had been previously shut against the ' people has been on several occasions granted for Chartist meetings . This year Mr . Buclcney ' s term of office having expired , a desperate attempt was made by the factious to prevent his re-election , Mr . Buckney has , nevertheless , hem again triumph .

Mysterious Case —Under This Title Our Co...
Mysterious Case —Under this title our contemporary the Caledonian Mercury reports a melancholy case of a child r jing found drowned at Dairy , with its legs tied together , and a banda-. e over the arms , tliat a woman was also found crying bittcry ( tiic mother of the infant ) , who spoke incoherently as to the hiss of her child , and said .-ho had left her house on account of a domestic quarrel . We have made particular inquiry , and can vouch for the following facts;—The unfortunate woman lost a son some years ago , to whom she was devotedly attached , and ever since she has been occasionally subject to hysterical fits and slight aberration of mind , On the evening in question her husband complained of her staving too long out , leaving her other children alone . This was about seven o ' clock : she then went as her
husband thought to her sister ' s house , but wiiicn turned out to be untrue . A search was made for her , it was ascertained that between eight and nine o ' clock she had called for her brother , a shop-boo in Hanover Street , when she was crying , and asked for a shilling to procure lodgings for the night ; she was not ajain seen till found by the police , and the child was afterwards got in the water , . but not with its feet tied — the operation of tying ; the feet the arms , dsc , was perfonncd at the police office , for the purpose of straightening the dead body . From our information we are inclined to think that the woman had no intention either to drown the child or herself , but she had tumbled into the water and that in her attempts to save the child , she got her self o wet and dreadfully bruised . — Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle .
Explosion op Fibk-damp neah Preston . —Eight Lives Lost . —A most dreadful explosion of fire-damp , accompanied with serious loss of life , happened at the coal mine of Mr . John llnrgwives , jun ., at Etixhn Burgh , on Tuesday molding about five o ' clock in the morning the men were as usual going to their work in the mine , the "fireman" having first gone down into the pit . In a few minutes after the men entered the mine an explosion took place , when , melancholy torchte , eight of the work-people
lost their lives . Some people attach blame to the fireman , who , it is said , has not a proper knowledge of his duties ; whilst he , on his part , shies that the men entered the works before he certified that tbe pit was fit for them to enter . The explosion took place the moment the workmen entered the pit . There were from 30 or 40 other miners in the pit at the time in other directions , who were considerably alarmed at the shock of the explosion , and who could not venture for some time into the neighbourhood oi the mine were the bodies were lying .

THE CHARTER AND " ' ¦" - - NO SURRENDER ! MESSRS . M'GRATU AND CLARK ' S TOUR
ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE . Cooperative Land Comfaht . —A public meeting was held in the chape ' , at 0 harle 3 town , onJ \ Vcdnesday evening , to hear the present position and prospects of the Chartist Land Company explained . Messrs . M'GnAiii and Clauk , two of the directors of the Company , wero pre ; entfor that purpose . Mr . Richard Filling , having been chosen to preside , commenced tbe business by making a few preparatory observations , soliciting the attention of the audience to what would be . advanced by the speakers , and stating that as their object was truth , every opportunity would be afforded to any party that might feel disposed to differ from either of the gentlemen that were about to address the meeting ; . lie had much pleasure in introducing their old friend ,
Mr . Thomas Clark , who , on presenting himself , was warmly received , lie entered upon a review of the agitations that had engrossed tbe attention of ' the workinsr classes for the five and twenty years , and congratulated the meeting upon the improved tone of public opinion , which , he argued , was in a great measure , the result of the agitations to which he had made-reference . lie proceeded to elucidate the nature and objects of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , and concluded an interesting address by an able exposition of the principles and value of co-operation . Mr . Philip M'Gratu spoke next , and was loudly cheered on riseing to address the meeting . He entered into an elaborate and eloquent defence of the rights of labour , and exposed in a masterly style , the systems of fraud that are resorted to , to filch from tho labourer the fruits of his own industry . Mr . M'Grath ' s address was listened to throughout with the most marked attention , and apparently gave the hidicst satisfaction .
1 hanks were voted io Messrs . Clark , M'Gratli , and the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .
BURY . Tho Bury branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , anxious to give their fellow-townsmen an opportunity of judging of the principles and objects of the institution , resolved upon holding a public meeting for that purpose . Application being made to the proper authorities , tbe Town Iiall was obtained for tho meeting , which was convened for Thursday evening . At the time announced for taking the chair , the hall was filled with a most attentive audience . Mr . Ireland was elected to preside . He briefly but forcibly stated the object of the meeting , and then introduced Mr . Clauk , who delivered an able and eloquent address , in which he vividly pourtrayed the wrongs inflicted upon the industrial community by those who would be c » : is :-dcred their friends and protectors . Mr . C ' . irk having described the benefits of the company , very clearly explained the principle of operation by which they were proposed to be secured .
Mr . M'Ghath very effectively supported the views of his colleague . Some questions were put and satisfactorily answered . Tho usual votes having been passed , the meeting separated .
IIEYWOOD . A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held on Friday evening , in the Chartist Hall , to adopt the National Petition to Parliament in favour of the Charter . The resolutions submitted were ably spoken to by Messrs . Clark and M'Gratli of the Executive , and unanimously adopted by the meeting . Thanks having been voted to the Chairman , anM to Messrs M'Grath and Clark , the meeting dissolved .
OLDHAM . Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather , the large school-room attached to the Hall was throngcJ on Sunday evening last , at the usual hour for commencing business . The Chairman opened the proceedings of the night by reading from the Northern Star , Mr . Fielden ' s speech on the Ten Hours Kill . He then called upon Mr . M'Grath to address the meeting on the subjects of the Charter and the Land . Mr . M'Giiath said that while he considered the subjects of the Charter and the Land paramount to all others in point of importance , he thought that they should not wholly absorb attention from other measures which the best interests of myriads
imperatively demand . The subject of the Ten Hours 13111 has been intioduced by the Chairman , lie was therefore anxious to make a few remarks on that important topic . Humanity aud sound policy called aioud on the Legislature for the legal embodiment of the Ten Hours Bill . Was h not a damning blot , a burning shame , that in a country that so loudly vaunts tbe purity of its Christianity , the boundlessness oi its philanthropy , and the extent of its civilisation , that women and children , the wives and offspring oi men said to be free , should work more hours each day than the American slave , or than the J horses or asses of their wealthy grasping masters 8 Man ' s inventive genius bad within the last half centurj achieved triumph , at the contemplation of which
reason stands aghast , but grasping avarice denies labour all participation in their benefits . The Ten Hours Bill asserts the principle that an abridgement of the number of hours of factory labour is a blessing which the introduction of labour-saving machine ;/ should confer upon the operative . The tendency , however , of the existing social and political arrangements is to render every achievement of mechanical skill a minister at the shrine of mammon , a curse to those whose bread depends upon the sweat of their brows . It was sometimes alleged that a Ten Hours' Bill would reduce wages , lie thought the contrary . Its operation would employ the surplus labour which now enables the capitalists to reduce wages for where now a hundred hands gets employment if the Ten flours Bill were Jaw , one hundred and twenty would be in work , hence we may fairly conclude that if the additional demand made upon
thp labour market did not increase wages it would nt least keep then up to their present elevation . Mr . M'Gratli combated the doctrine of non-interference so strongly contended for by tho political ecnnojiiib ' . s . Regulation was tbe great characteristic of iVature , and as the laws of Nature are the surest basis for human law , regulation should not ba repudiated in regard to labour . The Short Time party have a splendid opportunity . The most prominent members of the ministry are advocates of the Ten Hours Bill . Let , therefore , the friends of justice press tbe Government with vigour , and should Whiggery refuse its official support , it will make another addition to that catalogue of infamies which render ii excrable in the minds of all honest men . Mr . M'Grath then ably descanted upon tbe Charter and the land , and concluded with a strong appeal to the audience to'join the glorious Land Company . Several members were enrolled in the Company .
Votes of thanks having been passed to the Chair man and Lecturer , the meeting separated .
BIRKENHEAD The Land , the Labour Redeeming Land . —The branch of the Land Company established here , resolved to give the working classes an opportunity of hearing the principles and objects of the Company expounded , while Messrs . Clark andjM'Grath were in the north . Accordingly the elegant and spacious Craven Rooms were engaged , and the meeting announced by placard to take place on Tuesday evening . By half-past seven , the time named for taking the chair , the hall was crowded in every part .
Mr . Forester , an entbuiiastic young democrat , was elected to the chair . Having made a few observations on the purpose of the meeting , he introduced in succession Messrs . Clark and M'Grath , who p laced the Chartist Land Company before the judgment of the audience in a light so clear , that a large addition to its members may ba safely predicted . Discussion was invited , but opposition was silent . Many rules were taken ; there was not enough of them to supply the demand . During the evening scores were obliged to depart unable to obtain ingress . Three soul exhibiting cheers having been given lor the Land , the Charter , and O'Connor , the meeting dispersed , evidently delighted with the evening ' s proceedings .
MANCHESTER . Glorious Meeting . —On Sunday evening last , that magnilicent building tho People ' s Institute , was crowded in every part to hear a lecture from . Mr . Thomas Clark of the Executive Committee , on the subject of " The Land , and its v , ilue to the Working Classes . " Mr . Sutton filled the chair , and discharged the duties of his office in a most becoming and respectful manner . Indeed , tho cause of Chartism in Manchester owed much of its present proud and
commanding position to his perseverance and patriotism . Mr . Nuttal , junior , read the ""Weekly Review " from the Northern Star , after which the Chairman made a few observations upon the present aspect of Chartism ; in the course of which ho stated that it would no doubt be gratifying to the feelings of Mr . Clark , to learn that never did Chattism stand so high in the borough as at that moment . ( Loud cheers . ) He said it without any intention to exaggerate or boast , but the present prospect of both the Lund and Charter movement w ? s reallv
encouraging . ( Cheers . ) Look at the * present crowded meeting for example , which coupled with the state of ( he finances- was cheering to bis soul , and gave bim confidence of ultimate success . He would not detain them by any further remnifci , but at once intr ? ihice their old friend Mr . T . Clark . Mr . Curk , on presenting himself , was loudly cheered . He commenced by | stating the pleasurable sensations which he experienced in witnessing such a gorgeous spectable as he was at that moment garing upon , a mighty mass of humanity and intellect-seeking to disentangle themselves from tho meshes of slavery and degredation , such a sight was invigorating to the soul , and captivating to the senses and feelings of the philanthropist and patriot . He was delighted to hear from the chairman , that the Chartists of the important town of Manchester , had , by their energy and derotion , succeeded in placing their just and sublime principles

on so high a pinacle and . n t doubt , the towns of thr neighbourhood would be shortly led to imitate ther noble example . ( Cheers . ) He was proud to bo able tostate thatManchester was ' r . ofc the onlv town ia the Empire where Chartist principles was becoming popular , as , from the reception which . Mr . M'Gratli and himself had met with' iu the various towns through which they had passed on their route from , London , lie felt himself warranted in asserting , that Manchester had many noble competitors in the race tor freedom . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Ulark then entered upon the subject of the land , and adduced
many novel . and startling fads , to prove that the land , wtih the vote to protect it , was what the slave class throughout the world required , in ,. rdcr to butter their condition , permanently , and concluded an eloquent and convincing address by inviting discussion upon the several points , which ' be bud advanced that evening , or , if any one had anything to use against theicouduct of himself , or colleagues in oiiice , te take advantage of the opportunity which then presented itself and do so . Air . Clark , on retiring , was loudly applauded . No one appearing to answer the invitation given by Mr . Clark , thanks were voted to him and the chairman , and thus'terminated the business of the meeting .
Renewed Agitation For The Chailter In Sc...
RENEWED AGITATION FOR THE CHAilTER IN SCOTLAND . MR . DOYLE'S MISSION . Linlithgow . —A month afterdate wchave received a short account of a lecture at this place by Mr . Dv . jle . Our Linlithgow friends should make their e . vprcss » s travel a iittic faster .
DUNDE E . Mr . Christopher Dovle . of the Execnthe Council of the National Charter Association . lectured in the fnistle Hall , on the evening of Monday , the 16 th , on the National Petition .

A good number nfRxcd their signatures to it at the cl » se of the meeting , and we have no doubt but that it will bo numerously signed .
On Tuesday Evening , tiie annual soiree of the Christian Chartist Chinch was held in the same iilaci > , Mr . M'Crea in the chair . Mr . Doyle wiis ther distiii £ Ui > hed guest of the evening . Wc also obsi-rvtd upon the p ' atform Messrs . Dowtie , Scott , Anndal , and Smart , nil of them tried and unflinching labourers in the field of democracy . The Hall was tastefully decorated , and the vocal and initrumental music was excellent . The good things of ti : e evening having ; been disposed ot , —the Chairman , after a brief and happy address , went to the bu-iness
of the evening by giving the following sentiment , "' The People , their rights and no less , and may it ever be the object of the Charti-t Christian Church ot Dundee , individually and collectively , to struggle for tho freedom am ) happiness of the human race , and may they never slack their efforts till they see their country in possession of their respective rights . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . M'Crea spoke to this sentiment at considerabla length , and in his usual eloquent and forcible stvie .
The next sentiment was " The Charter , with all its advocates both in and out of Parliament ; all who suffered fiom its advocacy , either by iniprisonment , exile , or death , and who have- remained stedfast . immoveable , and faithful in tbe good cause , and may that precious document s < on become the law of the ) land . " Mr . Doyle responded in a speech of considerable length ; his speech was hailed with great applause . The next sentiment was " the Fraternal Union of the Democrats of all nations ; may Poland sson enjoy her national liberty , Circassia triumph over Urasiii , America , Italy , and the suns of toil over all tiie earth , claiming a right to the soil which gave them birth ; may democracy flourish , and despotism be abolished , all over the world ; and may the time soon come when nation shall shake hands with nation , congratulating each other on the full emancipation of the human race . "
Mr . Doyle also responded to this sentiment in a fervid and masterly style , in the course of which he directed attention to the exertions ot the society of Fraternal Democrats , their objects , exertions , and success . He also paid a merited compliment to Mr . Julian Harney , whom lie characterised as one ot the most ; untiring friends of freedom that could be found either in this or in any other country , lie said truly , that it wa * an honour to hclorg to a causa which ranked such a man among its advocates . Mr . Harney js an old friend of o » r . v » nd from his position as secretary of the Fraternal Democrats , a great many of us can now claim kindred to him . Alter the sentiments we had abundance of songs J tiie following is from the pen of our worthy and esteemed friend , Mr . John M'Crea , and was sung by biui , the whole assembly joining in chorus : —
A NEW SONGv Air— " Sae will we yet . " ' Arouse ye maiiis of Scotia , ye sons of ealedon , For starvation ' s in your border , anil the AVhijs are round the throne ; O , where is-now the big loaf frae the league yo were to set , We thought they were deceiving you ,, and sae do we yet . Chorus—And sae do we yet . They said we'll raise your wages , and they got you for to squeal , For Cobden ,. Bright , and Free Trade , and hurrah for Uubliy Peel ; Now they break your wage aud raise your bread , till food yo carina get ,
And they tattoo-while they're starving you ^ and sae will they yet . X : ie sooner Peel his laws bad pass'd , till , in an evil hour , The League and Dan did raise the Whigs again to placo and power ; Ye liae gotten a' the benefit that ever , ye will get , For they ' ve been a set of ne ' er-do-weels , and sae are they jet . The Whigs for ten lang years before did wickedly behave ; Tieyn'li'd tha jails with victims , sent John Bull maist to h : s gsavej ; The treasury . box they plundered , and they left us deep in debt , But they paid us with " finality , " and sae will they yet . They give the Irish bullets when- they asis a crust of
bread , And when they seek for labour , they . give them steel and lead ; . Still they ace the nicest ministry ould Ireland era did get . For they threw their bones to Daniel's-dogs ,, aad sae will they yet . They take sur British taxes to improve the Irish soil , To enrich the abscut lamllords ,. nut to give lhe peasants toil ; : lake the million lent the clergy , £ a farthing ye'U ne ' er tret , For the Wdiigs were oyo a cheating crew ,, and sae are they jet . J They swell the standing arra . y > . and . increase the " royal " tars ; In Cape of Good Hope and . India they carry on the
wars ; And ye will hao to pensioni th e cruel , bloody set , For that ' s been aye the toilers '' share , and sae will it yet . But away with Whigs anai Tories , and : Seorge Bentinck and his puck , And that load of many millions let us-noo throw off our back ; Nae inair we'll trust tb ^ corn-craiks , nor yet the Dedford pet , Fop we ken how sair they ' ve plundered us , and say wilt they yet . Co-me let us join the Charter with Duncombe and his band ; Let us raise the flag . of liberty in the * and every land ; Then a cottage anditna acres sonio slay we'l may lie get , For in the soil we alaim a share , itad sae shall we yet .
Success to our Executive—O'Conao-r . Clarke and Doyle , Likewise M'Grath- and Wheelefc . and the noble SOUS of toil ; For the doings- of the Whigs , in power we novtr can forget , Uut we drava tliom oneo from , place and pay , and sae will we yet .
