t _**^—a—mm—mmmm _mtm _^ mm _~ _m—^ _- * ' . 'J _ GREAT CHARTIST MEETING IN THE CITY OF LONDON . '" ( _Conthuedfrbin MFifiAFage . ) Mr . W . _Dixos next addressed the meeting , in support of the resolution , and , in doing so , said , the little hit of sharp-shooting which had taken place , was nothing after Jill , but men speaking their Opinions on minor questions . In the resolution , Ihere appeared to bejthree distinct heads , namely the object to be attained , " The People ' s Charier , " the means to be" adopted in order to attain it , " Organisation ; " and , in the last place , the benefits that would _arisefrow its attainment , " The Moral , Social , and Political Elevation of ths People . " In teference to the first part of the resolution—the Charter . —After the very able speeches they had heard from those gentlemen who had preceded him ,
it needed no comment from him , but the second part of the resolution was of vital importance ; they never would have the Charter , unless they adopted the means of getting it ; and , in his humble opinion , the means were in their own hands , and if they did not make use of them , they were _uu"worthy ofthe benefits -which -would arise from its enactment , and the proper use of the powers it woHld confer upon them . The first thing to be done , was ihe forming themselves in an associated body . Every man who belived the Charter to he the instrument hy which he could work out his social and political salvation , was , in duty hound , at once to become a member of the " _National i Charter Association . " --It was , therefore ,
imperative , that the leading men in the various localities should commence enrolling members immediately . Ia conclusion , he implored of of them to set to work at once in good earnest with the organisation , for they might depend upon it that so long as only classes were represented in the legislature , so long would classes only be car ed for . They had some good men and true in the House of Commons , hut their labours were useless nnless they had the support of the people from without . If , therefore , they valued the patriotism _irftheir friends and their own freedom , they would not only give their support to the resolution , but , would , both individually and collectively , do their Utmost to carry it into practical effect . ( Loud cheers . )
After a few remarks from Mr . Isaac Wasos , on the motion of Messrs . Retsosds and _Stai & wood , a Tote of thanks was carried by acclamation to the Chairman , and this important , crowded , aud most enthusiastic meeting terminated .

Ashios-usdee-Ltse . —At a meeting of Chartists it - was resolved - ; — "That we , the Chartists of Ashton , do forthwith join the National Charter Association , and send for cards of membership . " " That we open a discussion class on Sunday evening next . " Siockpobt . —At a members meeting held in the Association room , convened for the purpose of discussing the new Constitution ofthe Charter Association , the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — " That the third article ofthe new Constitution is incomplete , inasmuch as it makes no IirovMon for the permanent existence of the several 9 calities , and will ultimately destroy local agitation , jls the shilling which each member pays , will be absorbed by the Executive Committee , the localities
¦ will be without funds . Therefore , in order that this may be alleviated , we desire that local laws be made , empowering localities to collect funds , and that the following words be added to the third article , viz ., 'subject to the local laws . '" "That the words 'Executive Committee / in the twelfth article he expunged , and the following added in their stead , viz ., 'Each-district . '" _Whutixgtoj * axd Cat .- —At a meeting of members on Sunday last , a discussion was opened on the lahour question . Several members having spoken on the degraded position of labour generally , the meet- ' ing was adjourned until Sunday evening , when the subject will be renewed .

_AiBES-Eia * , —On Tuesday evening , the Cripplegate locality opened their neat and comfortable hall , 26 , Golden-lane , Barbican . The hall is a plain substantial edifice , and worthy ofthe patriotic citizens who have called it into existence ; it is one of ihose things that sprung from the government persecutions and prosecutions of 1848 . Left without a home , the Chartists of Cripplegate—with the indefatigable Fowler , Brown , and Bentley , at their head _—tookxefugeinthe house of Mr . Fowler , 28 , Goldenlane , and at length—backed by the industry and intelligence of the Cripplegate locality , and a few other friends—are ' in possession of their present democratic home , The hall will accomodate three hundred persons ; and in addition thereto
ithas acoffee-ioom , library , and other offices—all of -which are at present under the able management of Mr . Fowler and the Cripplegate locality . It is intended to have the _^ hall open every evening , for either lectures , meetings , discussions , or readings . The hall was neatly decorated on the occasion with mottoes which at once speak the sentiments held hy its promoters . We subjoin a few : — " All the peop les ofthe earth are brethren f " The People ' s Charter , and no surrender ; " * . ' Eng li s h , Irish , and Scotchmen—unite for our Charter ; " " Vivela Itepublique Rouge I" "Kossuth , Bern , and "Dembinski ; _* " " Ledru Rollin , Louis Blanc , and Mazzini ;" "liberty , Equality , and Fraternity . Some two hundred persons sat down to tea , which "was served
np in admirable style" by Mrs . Fowler and her daughters , and which gave -both from quality and _quantity—universal satisfaction . After the tea , Mr . J . Brisck ( a Jew hy birth ) was called to the chair , and remarked , that his-being so called was a proof that the committee felt -what they expressed in their first sentiment , viz . — " That all peoples of the « arth are brethren . " ( Loud cheers . ) The chairman narrated , in pathetic terms , the difficulty which a man horn a Jew had of procuring a trade , & c ., and the necessity of fraternisation of nations and peoples . The sentiments ( three in number ) "were as follow : — _''The peoples of the earth ( all of whom are brethren ) — may they inarch boldly forward in freedom ' s cause until they
have attained the political and social equality Of all of human kind / ' ' " _^" Bo the Northern Star , _JPolitical Instructor , Democratic Review , and all other heralds of progress , may their radiance become more and more brilliant until they illume the " whole habitable g lobe . " " To the advocates , heroes , and living _mariyrs of freedom , may they continue in their righteous career until they are blessed in the triumph of the g lorious cause for which thev have so heroically struggled . " —Mr . S . M . Kydd , in one of his happiest veins , gave the first sentiment , and congratulated the committee—in forming and opening snch an institution—on thc appropriateness of the sentiments selected , and especielly on the
hne fraternal feeling embraced in the one committed to his charge , on the broad and comprehensive wisdom of its politics and the fine elevated tone of its moral and social ethics , which , "whether they he true or false , had the merit of being advocated "bymanyof the wise and good of all nations . ( Loud oheers . ) Such-institutions as that in which they ¦ w ere-now met , was well calculated to cany out the irue and , wise maxim of the great Lord Bacon—«« _KnowledgeTs power . " ( Loud cheers . ) -G . Julian Barney followed and said : Not according to Rotchscbild , but -according to that sentiment -was he an advocate of tha emancipation of the Jews ; and in -the late continential straggles for freedem Jews had heenfoundbehind the editorial desk of newspapers , and Poles behind the barricades , each fraternally aiding the : cause _^ of human progress . He' ( Mr . Harney ) looked forward -with hope of the future ,

and trusted he should yet live to see the humanising sentiments he held in his hand prevail in practice . He should like to . see them accomplished peaceably . No m a _nhad a s t r onger d e sire for t h i _sthan he , but if imperious necessity stepped in he then said , let us have them at _any price . ( Loud ; cheers . )! The choir of the Institution , led by Mn and Miss H . Fowler , here gave the "Marseillaise Bymn" in first-rate sty le . —Mr . - P . M'Grath , in'giving the second sentiment , congratulated the City of London in having a little baud of citizens who could so practically and patriotically set themselves to work . The Northern Star had been of great service to the cause , and they had recently rcceived . a great accession of strength in Reynolds ' s Political Listructor ,
and the De m ocratic Rev i ew was likewise a very awe and useful monthly auxiliary in the service ; anej how much more did we feel the service rendered Dy these , when we remembered how we had Deen treated hy that Jup iter Tomans of the press tne T i mes , and other _papers , & e . Mr . M ' Grath then pointed out how these Democratic organs couldbe made most available for the uses of that institution , and resumed his seat loudly applauded .-Mr . T . Clark congratulated them not only oa the opening of the hall , but the fine spirit of harmony and union that prevailed within its walls . This was indeed a step in tbe right ¦ direction . Let but the press rightly direct the minds of the people , and halls like that become thrown open for the
cultivation of their mental faculties , and we need fear none of the results that unfortunately followed the Parisian revolutions of 1792-8 , 1830 , or those of 1184 S—he meant loss to the people of the object for which they struggled . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . \ Y . Dixon followed in a similar strain . Mr . Stallwood , in giving the third sentiment , said , the best way of appreciating their advocates was , by obtaining recruits—go out into the lanes and streets ofthe city , and get people to come to their hailto listen to the voice of reason put forth by their heroes , and no doubt they would receive recruits in the way of progress . ( Cheers . ) As to tho martyrs , they were recently told that they had thirty still pining in their dungeons : among whom were
numbered , Shaw , Bezer _. Fussell , and Ernest Jones—( loud cheers)—and he thought something more than lip services were required . They have wives and families , and the victim fund should he supported . As to their continental friends : there were Kossutb , Bern Dembinski , Ledru Rollin , Louis Blanc , Armand Barbes ; Mazzini , Garibaldi , and a host of others , to whom they would extend the hand of fraternity . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho was happy to state , that their friend Vernon , one of tho livin g martyrs , was present , and would follow him . ( Cheers . )—Mr . J . Vernon , having congratulated the meeting on such a display of Chartist feeling , so soon after his liberation from prison , described the prisons and its tortures—but withal it could not
put down sentiment—it still lived , and would eventually triumph . He had made a serious mistake or two before he went to prison , which he hoped to avoid , and to he more useful for the future . Mr . Vernon then proceeded to illustrate the condition of society , its misery and wretchedness , and threw out some useful hints , as to a remedy—recommended a steady and determined course in the cause of progress—congratulated them on their prospects for the future , and sat down loudly applauded . The choir of the institution then gave ** Base Oppressors , " and on the motion of Messrs .
Stallwood and Arnott , a vote of thanks was given oy acclamation to the Chairman and the Committee , who founded the hall , a nd g ot u p tho festiv a l , which was responded to . The nail was then cleared for dancing , and the room up stairs for the concert , both of which were kept up with great glee , and in fine fraternal spirit , until after night was at odds with morning . " Success to the New City Chartist Hall . " The Chairman read a letter from Mr . G . "W . M . Reynolds , apologising for non attendance , on the ground of previous engagement , at the same time stating his desire to do all in his power to serve the interest of " the City Chartist Hall and Athenamm . "
_Siai-eibridge . —A delegated meeting was held on Sunday last , at Mr . John I _. awton * s , grocer , for the purpose of reorganising the Chartists of South Lancashire , and it was resolved that the Manchester council be requested to call a meeting in Manchester , to be attended by delegates from every locality in South Lancashire , as early as possible . It was also resolved that another delegate meeting of the Staleybridge district , be held at Mr Lawton _' _s , on Sunday afternoon , the 27 th inst .
T H E Late Metropoli T An Chart I S T Co...
T H E LATE METROPOLI T AN CHART I S T CONFERENCE . TO IHE EDITOH OF THE KOBTHERN STAB . Sir , —I regret to see by a resolution from Aberdeen , inserted in the Star of the 5 th inst . that the letter from this city , which was read at the Metropolitan Conference , has been altogether misunderstood . The style aud spirit of tbat resolution , and the dishonourable conduct of the person who called the meeting—if it eau he called a meeting—at which it was passed , would certainly justify silent . con . tempt ; and if that resolution had been confined to this city , where the parties are known / 1 would certainly have treated it as a-matter altogether unworthy of notice , but as it has obtained an importance by being inserted in the Star , which it does not otherwise possess , I feel called on , as t he wr it er of the letter in question , to trouble you with the following remarks—explanation .
The resolution commences thus : — ' That this meeting repudiates the opinion attributed to it by the writer of the letter from Aberdeen to the Conference in London . ' In answer to this I bave only to say , that this is either unmitigated nonsense , or dishonest presumption ; first , because the letter referred to was written , and read to the Conference , long before ' the meeting , ' at which that resolution was passed , toolplace , so that I could not , in that letter , have attributed any opinions to it , that being an utter impossibility ; and second , if to get out of this absurdity , the parties attending this famous meeting imagine tbat they have a right to consider themselves the Chartists of Aberdeen , to whom , in that letter , I attributed certain opinions , then , I say , they are
guilty of presumption as dishonourably dishonest , as that of which they suppose me guilty , and for which I am so deliberatel y condemned in the latter part of their gentle resolution . The meeting in question had no more right to consider themselves ' the Chartists of Aberdeen , ' and to express opinions in their name , than I had . By the bold and unmistakeable language of their resolution , and the virtuous inorganisation expressed at my supposed presumption , parties at a distance would be apt to imagine that the whole Chartists of Aberdeen had been assembled for solemn deliberation on this most important matter , and they will , therefore , be somew h at sur p ri s ed t o learn , that the resolution emanated merely from / our or five individuals privately collected together by Mr . William Lyon , wh o i s set down as the proposer of the resolution .
It may , perhaps , afford a deal of fun to Mr . Lyon ; bu t I a s k you , sir , what _^ dependance can be placed on the Star reports if four or five iadniduals meet privately together , style themselves _« the Chartists '—as these parties are styled—the report of their proceedings , and have their gossips reported in the Star as the resolutions of 'the Chartists ?' I do not blame the parties called together by Mr . Lyon , because I know that they might have been misled by exaggerations and misstatements , but for Mr . Lyon I can find no excuse . What will honour _, able men think of his conduct when I state tbat previous to Mr . Lyon ' s meeting , I explained to him tbat my letter had been totally misunderstood by Mr . Stallwood at the London Conference , and stated to him what I really intended ; and yet , after this
explanation , and while professing the most cordial friendship _^ me , he called his friends together , aud without giving me any notice , or any opportunity to defend myself , allowed his friends to misunderstand the letter in question , and , on the strength of this , proposed the resolution as it appeared—The Star k ee pi n g back the ex p lanation which he could have given them , in order tbat I , his friend , might be thus misrepresented ? Mr . Lyon afterwards appears to have been convinced of his dishonourable conduct ; for the very next time we met in tbe bouse ; and in presence < rf a prominent Chartist , he distinctly denied _thatthe proposed the resolution ; so tbat Mr . Lyon , after having betrayed me , is also disposed to betray his own friends , after tbey had served his purpose
The resolution referred to , further _saja : — -We , 4 Chartists , ' here assembled , declare our willingness to support , and wonld place the greatest confidence in , any Executive duly elected by Universal Suffrage—whether such Executive was composed of Englishmen , Irishmen , or Scotchmen . ' In answer to this I have to state , that in my letter , read at the Conference , I did nofc object either to Englishmen or Irishmen ; aU that I suggested was , that a national secretary shonld ' reside in Scotland '—the very
Words of my letter—but I did not mean thathe should be a Scotchman ; for if they are otherwise qualified I have no objection to Frenchmen , Romans , Americans , or Poles , and , indeed , I would much pre * fer some of these , for they seem to be made : of sterner metal than either Englishmen , Irishmen , or Scotchmen . Mr . Stallwood totally mistook my meaning when' he supposed I wanted a Scotchman . a * National _^ Secretary ; and it ' will-be sufficient , when I s t a t e t o him , tha t I am , in the fullest sense of the terms , a Fraternal Derawwrj to convince him that
T H E Late Metropoli T An Chart I S T Co...
Icould not entertain theinarrow views which he _Ssed were stated in my'letter . othe _^ _rence . To explain fully what was suggested m the said letter I may state that I have no objections to'the whole of the rules a 9 agreed ; to at the London Conference , for , indeed , " they have already been agreed to at a preliminary Chartist meeting ; here ; but what , I suggest is , that ; the Charti _» ts ; of-Scotland should be 1 allowed to adect one or two ; of ; the National : Executive as commissioners or secretaries , to residt in Scotland during the whole term of their office , for the purpose of organising this country . jThat they should residefor a given _ji ' eribd ih every [ town where it was thought a Chartist Association could be established ; not for the purpose of "nerely de . livering aa exciting address , which produces only a , of
[ transient effect , but for the purpose looking after the proper organisation and local working of every association throughout the country ; and seeing that no town of importance was without _itsjassoelation of bona fide pay in g members ''; " and , when , at the expiration of their term of office , _^ b ey left Scotland'to give an account of their stewardship , they should carry with them the addresses of . every local secretary , which should then be published as a general guide to the Chartists of Scotland . I would , however , suggest , that in the meantime , at least a National Conference should assemble in Scotland , as the Scotch Chartists are not able , at present , to defray the expense of delegates to the London Conferences , and will not be until they are properly organised , when , of course , m y ob j ec t ion to a London Conference would be removed _.
The resolution , already referred to , concludes thus , — ' And , further , that this meeting declare its deliberate condemnation of the conduct of any individual , who would take upon himself the liberty to express the opinions of the people of Aberdeen , without having authority from them for doing so . ' I agree to every word of this } arid further , I deliberately condemn the conduct of four or five individuals , who meet privately together , and presume to consider themselves the Chartists of Aberdeen , and who express opinions in their names without having their authority for dp ' nffsb . . - ¦ : I have also to slate , that the letter read at' the Conference ,
was not sent to that body at all , but simply , to Mr . Reynolds , o f London , and it did not pretend to express the opinions of the people of Aberdeen , but simply of a very humble , though sincere Chartist , as will be seen from the following extract , from the letter itself :- —* If you should have occasion to address the Conference , ' you may _give them this as tbe sincere opinion of one who has the welfare of the cause at heart ; ' so tbat tbe latter part of resolution is not at all applicable tome , but it might , with some trifling verbal alterations , apply with great force to the party from whom the resolution emanated .
Thou g h I feel strong ly tempted to enlarge , yet , as this is at best but a disagreeable subject , I sh a ll conclude , by recommending to the serious consideration of Mr . Lyon and his friends , a few simple words , —* honesty is the best policy . '' Be not hasty to condemn . ' I remain , Sir , Yours fra t ernally , Aberdeen , Jan . 10 , 1850 . D . Wright .
**»L The Late Conference, And The New Pl...
_**» l THE LATE CONFERENCE , AND THE NEW PLAN OF ORGANISATION _^ TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —How such a plan of organisation was sent out to the country many are at a loss to know . It is not only defective , but despotic ; it is establishing in its foundation the very system which we wish to destroy—class legislation ; it is going over the same ground we have been treading since the People ' s Charter was brought before the _publico-The time has arrived , in my opinion , when we must agitate for something more than the Charter ; our social rights must be contended for , and carried into practice by the producers of wealth , as we never need expect assistance from the middle and upper
classes . Taking them as a body , , there are some amongst the middle and upper classes who wish the working class to enjoy the whole of their political rights , but they are very few in number . No union can take place between the democrats and the great bulk of the middle class , while competition and tbe present system of buying cheap , and selling as dear as they can continues . We might as well ask them to divide thejr profits with us as unite with us for our political and social rights . W e mus t take t he ad v ice which Si r . rRobert Peel gave us in 1827 , about taking our own affairs into our own hands .
Sir , —In my opinion , there ought to be a National Conference called in tbe centre of England , to draw up a plan of organisation , and to recommend fit and proper persons to form an Executive Committee of five , to be chosen on the principles of Universal Suffrage ; men , who will be free from any other office , and who can devote their whole time to the cause of tbe productive class . Measures , not men , should be our motto , and p rinci p le our guide , as leadership of men . may prove to be destructive of the very best interests of the wot king class .
Sir , —The country , in my opinion , ought to be divided into five districts , and one of the executive committee be stationed in the centre of each district , and a change should take place every six months in each district . Their duties should be to disseminate the following principles . —First , that land oug ht to be common property , to be held in trust for the benefit of all—Second ,. that a republican form of government is most suited for the present age , —Third , that Universal Suffrage is the right of all . —Fourth , that the producers of wealth ought to be the distributers of their own labour , - on
the principle of sale and exchange , one with another .- —Fifth , that tbe working classes ought to erect their own schools , and appoint their own schoolmasters . —Sixth , the formation of democratic tract societies in every district , whereby sound and useful k n ow led ge could be circulated throughout the country . —Seventh , to fraternise with , and assist the people of all nations , who are , or may be , struggling for freedom against their tyrannical oppressors . B y publishing the above , you will oblige , Yours in the cause of Democracy , Samuel Jackson . Attercliffe , near Sheffield .

_Wioioy . —A meeting was held on the 2 nd inst ., Mr . William "Vickers in the chair , when it was resolved : — ' « That the thanks of the members be g iven to Mr . O'Connor for his determination not to allow the property ofthe Company to become that of any dissatisfied and fraudulent allottee , but to enforce the payment of the rent now due , or otherwise to allow the law to have its force , and remove from the _. Company any who would attempt to create distrust and contention ; and also not to wind up the affairs of tho Company , hut to proceed for the general good of all the peaceful portion of the Company . " Leicester . —At a meeting held on Monday , January 7 th , tho following resolution was agreed to : — ¦¦ That we , the members of the Leicester
branch , approve of Mr . O'Connor ' s handing all the unprincipled allottees over to the solicitor of the Company , and that they be made to pay the rent now due , or bo instantly ejected . " CHBXTENHAM .-. TO Mr . W . Rider . —That fellow Beattie from Charterville , has been at the Bell Inn in this town , and said he had been to Snig ' s End and Lowbands , to instruct them how to keep their allotments ; that he had had a trial with the bailiffs , and heat them ; that it was their property , and they could not be turned but , a dthat O'Connor would be soon obliged to run his country , and a great deal more of shcE nonsensical stuff . I was told this by a friend , I was not there . Oh ! for a whip , and the power to lash the villain back to Charterville . I hope he will soon meet his deserts . He is not fit to stop there . . Yours truly , John Hemmin .

Stepney Meeting.—Mr. Kydd And Mr. Clark....
STEPNEY MEETING . —MR . KYDD AND MR . CLARK . to the editor of the nobthern stab . Sir , — Having had occasion to call at your office at a late hour this evening , I chanced to see in the hands of Mr . Arnott a proof copy of a letter from Samuel Kydd , on the subject of the above meeting , and to which I would esteem it an especial favour if you would permit the insertion of this brief reply . In order that it may be known that I havo some notion of tho duties and responsibilities of governments ; and to show that my notions will contrast rather advantageously with those of the conveners of the late Tory meeting at Stepney , I here give their resolutions in all their integrity , as well , also , as the amendment which I submitted upon that occasion .
Resolutions of the conveners of the meeting . •—1 st .- — " That as lahour is the source of all wealth , it evidently follows that the prosperity and independence of Great Britain and her colonies will be best promoted by employing arid protecting the greatest number of a healthy , industrious , intelligent , and moral population , which can be educated and ' comfortably maintained by their ewn industry ; and , therefore , in the opinion of the meeting , it is the first and most important duty of the British Legislature , and her Majesty's Government , to adopt sueh measures as will best secare employment to every one of the population , and for their labour , an abundance ofthe necessaries and comforts oi'life . " 2 nd . — " That the unrestricted foreign cheap
labour policy which has been for a series of years encouraged by the Legislatures of this kingdom , and greatly extended by the present Parliament , is , in the opinion of this meeting , theoretically wrong , and practically injurious to . the industrious classes , by compelling them to enter into unfair competition with capital at home and abroad , destructive to tho general prosperity of Great Britain and her colonies , dangerous to the stability of the Empire , and opposed to the independence and happiness of the whole British population . " 3 rd . — "That as the principle of Protection for _Native Industry is founded on justice to all , and as the a ct s o f the present Le gislature have been opposed to these sentiments and injurious to tho
welfare of the British population , a memorial founded on the foregoing resolutions be presented to her _Majesty , praying her Majesty to dissolve the present Parliament , and thereby give an opportunity to those who hold the elective franchise in trust for the whole people to elect such representatives who will insure paotection to every class of _iher' Majesty ' s subjects throughout the British Empire . ' He re is the amendment , and , if I niistakejiot , it will speak for itself . That as labour is tho source of all wealth , it evidently follows , that the prosperity and independence of Great Britain and her colonies , will be best promoted by the employment of the greatest number of a healthy , industrious , intelligent , and euueatea
moral population , wmen can ne ana comfortably maintained by their own industry ; and , therefore , in the opinion of this _meeting , it is the first and most important duty ofthe -British legisla t ure , and her M a jest y ' s government , to adopt such measures as will afford the means of employment to every one of the population , and for their labour , abundance of the necessaries and comforts of life , and that this can be done , not by any further legislative interference ; but by the removal of all remaining impediments to the free exercise of industry , and by the reduction of the amount , and an alteration in the present unjust system of taxation , by the repeal of the laws of primogeniture and entail , together with a . system of vParliaT raent a r y ' roform , embracing " - a suffrage which " shall enfranchise the whole male adult population of the country . Now , Sir , with re spe ct to th e " challenge " and my acceptance of it atthe meeting , Mr . liydd , I think , will recollect , that I , upon that occasion ,
publicly declined to recognise mhim the authorship of any novel or startling opinion ; that I also declared my intention to be present at , and take part in , any public meetings which might be said to be called in the interests of the working classes , on the subject of " Protection to Native Industry , " as defined in the above resolutions . And now , as a " challenge '• ' is a " challenge , " especially when put into print by the challenger himself , I hereby undertake to meet Mr . Kydd at the same place , and disc u ss with him the m erit s o f t he p ri n ci p le s embodi e d in my amendment , against tho system of Protection , vaguely hinted at in the above resolutions . As I shall be absent from town for a few days , Mr . M'Grath has kindly undertaken to act for me , and to that gentleman I now refer Mr . _Hydd or his friends . Thomas Clahk . Thursday night , 10 o ' clock . [ Mr . Kydd _' s letter will be found in the second page . ] ., _/**> < ¦

- ¦ MANSION-HOUSE . —Artists _Exhuomumaby . — Alderman Humphery stated to the Lord Mayor that he had , a few days ago , caused to be brought before him a person named Foster , who was charged by a gentleman with having forcibly detained him in a room in Gracechurch-street , in order to compel him to pay for a humbug likeness a sum of money considerably greater than that which the artist professed to charge , per handbills distributed at the door , and that if a witness , in a stronger case , in which the money had been actually paid , had come forward , a committal certainly would bave been the consequence . The alderman then read the follow-Marklane Alder

His account of the transaction of Mi * . Frederick Foster ' s studio is precisely similar in all its details to the account given by the Times . It appears ho went in , attracted by the handbill , and on the portrait being finished 7 s . 6 d . was demanded . On its being refused Mr . Foster placed himself against the door , called our clerk a cheat , a nd ca lled a m n to fetch a p oliceman t o take him before the Lord Mayor . These threats , however , did not avail , and to get out of such company our clerk gave Foster a shilling without any consideration passing . —We are , yours , he ., _Rdsten
and Sox . " "Alderman Humphery , Mansion-nouse , " —Frederick Foster , Artist . —Sir , —Permit me to inform you that the above individual , whose name appears in the papers of yesterday , endeavoured a short time back to practise a similar fraud on myself . He then had a room iu Fleet-street , where I was induced to leave a " black profile , " for thepurpose of having a copymade _.. Upon iookingat the original , Mr . Foster said his charge would be 2 b . 0 d ., instead of Is ., as he should like to execute the copy with satisfaction to himself , and that it should be ready in the course of the same day , and _that-the money must be paid down . I accordingly paid the money , but had to call day after day , and week after week before I could get the original or copy .
I should not have succeded had I not taken out a summons against himat Guildhall . Hia object , I have no doubt , wag ; to extort money from me to regain possession of the original , whioh I told him I would not submit to if it cost me - £ 20 . In the event of this individual appearing again before the City authorities , I thought it right to make tho above communication . —John 'Habwood , Carey-street . —Alderman Humphery , Mansion-house . "—The Lord Mayor , observed , that notwithstanding the very extensive circulation-of the artistical proceedings of Mr . Foster by means ofthe publio press , the concourse of strangers which passed from all _quarters through Gracechurch-street was so great , and the recollection ' of trickery of . all kinds was so evanscent _amongat the people of Lssadon , that _pfjssibly victims were constantly made . His lordship wished to know whether the hand-bills _referred to in the former statement were still issued at the door ?—
Inspector Todhunter , who superintends the district in which the '' studio" of Mv \ Foster is situated , said his men wore , not idle upon the subject and if any deception , such as had been already represented , were attempted to be practised , the offenders should at once be brought in custody before the Lord _Mayoi \ _: He had reason to know that a system of extortion was carried on by a gang who acted entirely upon the principle described . —Davis , the officer , said that in one case the portrait of Lord Goughhad been obtained by . one of . the parties , and a fter a v a st d e a l of troubl e , the . duplicate ofit was recovered , and it was released byhis lordship ' s son ( who would hot have . lost . it for 100 guineas ) at a pawnbroker's shop in 0 *< fordrStreet , where it had been pawned for 10 s .

BOW-STREET . — Atti-mpi to _Ihtimidate . —Ben ) . Sluttaford , ; in the service Of Mr . Walker , organbuilder , of Francis-street , Tottenham-court-road , appeared to answer a complaint preferreu against him by Thomas Allardice , another journeyman , tor having , by threats and intimidation , endeavoured to force him to leave his master ' s employment . Mr . Wontner attended for the defehdant _.-r Tjie complainant stated that he had been in the employment of Mr . Walker for twelve years _» and the defendant was employed in the same establishment ,, but he neased to work on Tuesday week , with _abouttwenty _. _' . ,. . _< .. p , ,,,, _^ _T _^
others , a few of whom had since returned . In addition to . himself , only one man remained in the department to which he belonged , and on the 10 th inst ., as ho was returning from his dinner , he met the defendant , who looked at him in a stern and threatening manner , - and said , " , Damn your eyes , you deserve to " get your neck cut ; " to wliich he made , no answer , but went to the factory and repeated . the words to the men at work and to his employer . The only grievance ho knew between the master and the men was that the former proposed that the men should come to work at eight o ' clock in the morning after breakfast , and remain until tho samo hour in the evening , without any reduction a s t o wages , instead of coming before breakfast , which they objeoted to , a nd beade d b y th e
foreman _*' they left the establishment . The men used to work from half-past six o ' clock until the same hour in tho evening- —Mr . Walker proved that he explained to the foreman that the alteration he proposed was only to continue till the days became longer , and understanding that his orders had not been carried out , he left word that the foreman should communicate with him in writing if he had anything to say . He then called the men together , and finding they had disobeyed his directions , told them that it was clearly a question of strength between iiim and his foreman , who was their leader , begging they would consider the matter , and warning them not to throw themselves out of employment , as he was resolved to carry out such a
reasonable request on his part . He subsequently refused to receive their memorial on such a triflng matter , and when it was handed to him he tore it without reading it : after which he was informed that the complainant had been menaced , upon which he got the assistance ofthe police to prevent any violence when ho was paying the men their wages . —Mr . Jardine considered that the charge of intimidation had been clearly made out , and the men might , if they felt aggrieved by the " proposed alteration , have left their employer ' s service , without adopting illegal means , as the defendant had done , which was an offence of a serious character , rendering him liable to three months' hard labour . He , however , was not disposed to inflict so severe a punishment , but
would mitigate it to six weeks' in the Houseof Correction . —Mr . Walker and the complainant said they were not anxious such harsh measures should be resorted to , their principal ohject being that the defendant should be bound over to keep the peace . —Mr . Jardine complied with their request by not passing sentence , but ordering the defendant to give sureties for his appearance in a fortnight , and to keep the peace in the meantime , which he did , and be was discharged . MARYLEBONE . —A Conscientious Thief . — Edward Bradley was charged under circumstances of an extraordinary nature . —James Crump , a cabman , deposed that at ten o ' clock on Saturday night last he drove defendant from Regent-street to York
gate , Begent s-parfc , and on setting * him down there he demanded 2 s . 4 d . as his fare . Defendant alleged that he had no money , and he was desirous of being locked up , and he was therefore driven to the station-house in Marylebone-lane , where he was locked up . —Inspector Hannent stated that upon the prisoner being searched at the station a quantity ofthe best white pepper ground was found in one of his pockets . —The prisoner said he had recently left his friends in Birmingham to come up to town for a little pleasure , and having no money left he procured some pepper , with the intention of going into a shop , and thrusting it into the eyes of the party , who mi g ht be at the counter , through which means he might have effected a robbery ; but
his courage failed him , upon his conscience telling him that he was meditating a' sin of great magnitude . —Mr . Broughton , after putting various ques * tions to the witnesses , ultimately came to the conclusion that it was his duty to pay the cabman os ., and to find two sureties in £ 20 each for his keep ing the peace and being of good behaviour for the next six months . GUILDHALL . —After the disposal of the usual business a shabbily-attired female _, " ** eppcd forward , and addressing Alderman Carden , said that she was unfortunately m great distress , and without shelter . She was authoress of "Ada the _Betrayed , "' ' '"' Jane Brightwell , " " Brentwood , " and other works , but was now in the greatest distress . She was a widow ,
and had a daughter eighteen years of age , who was married , and living in India with her husband . Her mother waa a sister of the -sari de Clifford , and she had a brother Hying in India . She had a work of which she had done seven quires , and if she could get shelter in a workhou 3 e or anywhere , she could complete the work—she could get sixty-three _fuineas for it . Her brother at the present time was heriff of Calcutta , and she had several friends in London , but she had not communicated with them for many years , and could not apply to them now . The applicant , who addressed the court hi a deep
voice , with a strong theatrical emphasis , stated that her name was Sarah Jones , and that she had written under the name of Anna Maria Jones . She . a dmitted however , that herself and mother had been disposed to insanity . , She said the chief cause of her present distress was a distraint for rent , and haying been turned out from her abode at this inclement season . She felt herself much degiaded at appearing in the streets in such attire , but had no objection to go to the workhouse for the sake of shelter . —Alderman Carden asked her if she would go the City Union , if he gave her a recommendation ? She having willingly assented , she was sent thither in charge of an officer .
Tailors And " Sweaters." A Very Numerous...
TAILORS AND " SWEATERS . " A very numerous meeting of journeymen and others engaged in the above trade , was held on Thursday night at Excter-hall , " for the purpose of exposing the evils of the slop , sweating , and middleman systems , and also the injurious effects of the government contracts and prison labour ; and to petition Parliament to make it compulsory on ths masters to have their work done on their own premises . " The large hall in which the meeting took p lace was crowded to excess , every available space m the bod y of the hall , the g alleries , and the platform ( where there were several master tailors ) , being fully occupied . There were , probably , not fewer than 6 , 000 persons present . Mr . Thomas Reynolds presided . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Ellard , J . Goodfellow , Bryant , Talbot , and C , Goodfellow ; and the following resolutions were adopted : — " That this meeting deplores the wide-spread evils of destitution , misery , and crime , _engendered
by the slop , sweating , and middleman system in the tailoring trade—a system which was at the same time destructive to the interests of the workmen , ruinous to the honest tradesmen , and which , if not hold in check , was calculated to convey disease and death amongst the highest and noblest families in the emp ire , and ultimately to affect tho well-being of the community at large . ' " " That this meeting is convinced , that the only way of dealing with an evil of such magnitude as the slop , sweating , and middlemen system is by a law making it compulsory on all employers to have their work done on their own premises , includin g g overnm e nt con t r a c t c lothin g . . A petition embody ing the views of the meeting was also adopted , which it was resolved should be entrusted to the Duke of Cambridge to present to the Lords , and to Lord Ashley to present to the
Commons . A vote of thanks to Mr . H . Mayhew , the special correspondent of the Morning Chronicle , folldwed _, and , after the usual acknowledgment _tothaehairman of the evening , the meeting separated .

In flour little doing , though offered cheaper . Foreign wheat went off slowly , at rather dedining rates ; Barley heavy sale , and malting Qualities Is cheaper . Beans and peas Is lower . The oat trade , with a moderate supply , was inactive , and pr ices , un l ess for the finest samples , _barelj maintained . Linseed cakes rather cheaper , some quantity offering for sale . For cloverseed there is some inquiry on speculation , which did not however lead to much business to-day , and prices remain without change .
