Tbe Northers Star and United Ibi-huas having teen Tend , the chairman _proceeded to address the _Tae-tin-- on the necessity of union between the _JJemocrateof En hnd and Ireland They had now te the _agita'ion for Irish _nationality . The
recommence fault could not bs attributed to tbem but to the op _DKsnveand slavish conduct pursued by Concilia- irn Hall who endeavoure d to _stitla the . _reeilom ot _thou-ht and Breech , afterthey bad gubjcnbed their money and their time . They had done their duty . Would to God tbat _Concihat . on Uall bad donetheirs . Bat vet . Conciliation Hall was not Ireland , or he ihonid despair for freedom for hw unhappy country .

'

AHREST OF UK MlTCHKLL . _Dddllv , Mat li . At about half-past six o'clock yesterday evening , Inspector Guy proceeded to Mr Mitchel ' s private residence in Ontario-terrace , and having produced his warrant , stated tbat informations were sworn against him by two police-officers , for tbe publication of two letters biarin _^ his signature , addressed to the Protestant farmer ; , dsc , of Ulster , and published in the numbers respectively ofthe United Irishman of the 6 ' . hand 13 _* . h of May inst . Mr Mitchel then ,, " accompanied by Mr Devin Rtiily , his partner , and the inspector , drove in a covered car to the head _p-ilice-offiee , where they arrived a little before seven o'elook
. Mr Porter _addressing Mr Mitchel , said that _informations hid been sworn before him t '" _-at he ( Mr Mitchel ) had omitted felonies under tbe Act of the llth Victoria , passed for tbe better security of the Cro » n and _Government , unier the 3 d section of which the informations bad been framed , and under which it _] became bis ( Mr Porter ' s ) duty to issue a warrant for his _apprebensii-n . Mr Mitchel wa _<» at once committed to Newgate to abide his trial at the commission , whicb will sit on the 20 h of May . TRIAL OF MR SMITH O ' _BRIH . V , M . P ., FOR _SKDITIOS . Dcblin , May 15 .
The _gathfrinz ol the Confederate clubs in _Westiand row , _toescort . Mr Smith O'Brien to the Court o' Queen ' s B _.-nch , was a very extraordinary popular _manift-siaiLm . Before nine o ' clock great numbers of the Confederates appeared in the street , between the terminus of the Dublin and Kingstown Riilwav _, and the residence of Mr O'Brien . _^ They formed in regular rank and file , keeping distinct from the crowd wbo came to _gsza at the spectacle . A strong police party was in attendance to preserve order , but the simp le arrangements for tbe procession were conducted in the quietest and most regular manner . Mr O'Brien , accompanied by Mr _Meapher , Mr Duffy , and other _fritnds , was received with _htarty cheering when he took his place in the proceBaion , wbich started from _Westiaad-row about half-past nine o ' clock . The Confederates walked three abreast
j through the narrow streets leading to tbe Four 1 _Cher ' s . The procession consisted ef some thousands of persons , chieflv working men ; but many were well dressed , and not a few of the middle clasg were amongst them . They marched with a martial _beariog , and the regular tread of disciplined troops . Mr Smith O'B ien occupied a place about the middle of the _procession . He leant on tbe arm of Mr Duffy , of the Natiou , and walked _between him and Sir Simon _Bradscreet . Near the house of Mr West , the . jeweller , < n Col ' _ega-green . part of the procession diverged a little , when Mr Meagher , with the manner cf a military commander , called out , 'Do not fall out there . ' Ever and anon the populace who crowded tbe streets cheered _lustilv , as the procession passed alone ; but the most perfect order and decorum was observed .
The _Enniskillen Dragoons and the 55 th Regiment ol Infantry were stationed pn the quays adjoining tbe courts , the latter keeping the pa-sages clear . A _numerous club of _Confederates met the main body in Parliament street , from Cork-hill , adjacent to tbe Castle of Dublin . Another joined on Ormondquay , trom _Winttavern-stteet ; and a third olub ( the ' Dr Doyle' ) which marched down Capel street , alsa ioined on the qusy . After Messrs Smith O'Brien and Meagher entered the court , the word waa _giveu to the Confederates
• Let us proceed to _Newsate , and give Mitchel a cheer . ' The entire body then _parsed through Church-s reet , Kingstieet , 3 nd on to the prison . On arriving there the several clubs scattered , surrounding -he immense _building , and cheering with great ecthusiasm for Mime minutes . At the moment , Mrs Mitchel , who was accompanied by Mr Devin Reilly , a brother of Mrs Mitchel ' s , and other persons , _etood upon the step _^ leading to the entrance of the prison , and was greeted by repeated cheera from the multitude _.
The Chief Justice took his seat on the bench at half-past ten o ' clock . Mr Perrin opened the proceedings by informing the court and jury , tbat the travelaer at the bar , M' W . S . O'Brien , had been arraigned upen an exofficio information , charging hira with having delivered a speech 6 n the lo _. h < f March , in the parish ofSt Thomas , for th purposeof exciting hatred and contempt _again-t the Queen in Ireland , and inducing the people to rise ia rebellion . The traverser had pleaded ' Dot guilty . ' The Attorney General followed , and stated the ca e forthe proiecuti on at great length . Mr Hodges the . _govenment repcrter , and Edward , inspector iu the constabulary force , gave evidence as to the delivery of the seditious speech Mr Butt , Q . _C-, addressed thejury on behalf of the prisoner . He delivered an argumentative 3 nd brilliant address , which at tho _conclusion , elicited bursts of applause .
The Chief Justice summed np , and at half-past six o ' clock thejury retired . In tbree quarters of an hour the jury came into court and said there was no likelibocd of an agreement . The court adjourned to ten o ' clock . On re-assembiing at that hour the . jary were called into the box . lhe Foreman stated there waB not the feast probability of their agreeing ts a verdict . The Chitf Justice then adj . mrnedtbe court to ten o ' clock the next day , at the same time _ordering the jury to be locked up for the ninftt . DEFEAT OF THE GOVERSMEXT—THE _JURT DISCHARGED I Mat _Idcb . —Atthe _sitting of t _5 e court thia _morning , tke jury in tho case of Mr Smith O'Brien , after being locked up all night , were discharged by the Chief Justice . It is understood that ten were for conviction and two for acquittal . TBIAL CF MR MEAGHER .
This mornini ; another demonstration of tbe clubs took place to escort Mr Meagher to the Court of Queen ' s Bench . The prccessiun passed through tbe streets in the same order as on yesterday , with , if possible , greater enthusiasm on the part of the populace . The details ofthe trial of Mr Meagher were very similar to those of ths trial of Mr O'Brien . _Doblis , Tuesday Night . —At nine o ' clock tbis evening the Chief Justice entered the Court , when the jury in the case ol Mr Meaeber _Wite called in . Trie Clerk of the _Cnwn—Gsntlemsn , have you agreed to your verdict ? Foreman—Ni , Sir . Chief Justice—Are yon likely to agree ? Foreman—By no means , my lord . Tho Chief _Ja-tiee then _adjonrne'l the court , and _thejury were locked up forth-- _nigbt .
After the adjournment ofthe Court , a vast crowd ( accompanied by musicians playine popular airs ) followed _Messrs Smith O'Brien and Meagher to the _Confederation Committee _reoniB . _wherettey were addressed by those _gon'lemen ; after whicb , the _multitude peaceably dispersed .
THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN DEFEATED . Dublin , Mat 17 th . Thejury in Meagher ' s case was discharged tbis morning without a verdict ; eleven for convicion , ene for acquittal . An application to admit Mitchel to bail was refused . O'Brien and Meagher are to tried again next term . ( From our own Correspondent ) THS _STATB _TBIALS—ABREST OF illi _MITCHBL—FEAEGlfS O ' CONNOR ASD EI 3 ACCUSERS . Dublin , May 15 th .
This day , the 15 th of May , is an important , an auspicious day for Ireland . It is ' a great day lor Ireland too . ' On this day tiTe ' vemonths _preci-ely _, a great _Irishman—3 f _^ _e-H arlvcoate for human freedom—and a great enemy to British misrule , closed a long and eventful- ay , and let theworldsay whit it will—a brilliant _career in a _foreign land , _^ urrounle .-i by strange _face 3 , and far far away from that green nook of earth , fur which he fought , and struggled , asd br jke his mighty heart . On this day _twelvemonths , _D-initl O'Connell dit d in Genoa . On this day a still braver Irishman stands before the b _. r < d British—let me call it British _s-vay—tor lovin" hia
country , and for saying tbat she ought ob ? , and should be , a nation . On this day the State trials com tnenced , and Dublin L in a ' ever . _Nothing can exceed the excitement of all classes . It will be a rcemnrable day in Ireland , at all events . If O'Brien foes to a prison none can _forejudge the consequences . If he is acquitted , t _' . _isre isanendto British tyranny ui this island—it must ba an auspicious day . Smith O'Brien nnd Le ' and , now for it ! The stake is allimportant . Tb ; _gam-i is a _da-a _^ _eronja- ' _.-l doubtfni one . No matter . In the Ion ; ,- run Ireland will win , and the O'Brien will receive the reward of his faith _, and bravery , > _ind patriotism .
The lour Courts is a busy spot to-day . The tra versets _, O'Brien and _Mi-aqher , are on their trial . Hunriredg of policemen throng the gates , tbe courtyards , and every avenue _leiding to the Queen ' s Be : ch . Up and down be _ire the _courts a strong patrol of mounted policemen are _riding leisurelj , keeping away tha _vi-t crowds of men , women , and children , which _p-e 3 _s towards tbe gate . Is is a stirring , a strange , an extraordinary _scoae . This ' _beginning' cannot * end' witb tbe declaration of the jury's verdict . And po ir Mitohel is a prisoner . Since last Saturday _evening up to tweive o ' clock to-day , he has been a prisoner ia on < _j of the _mfflt leathscm-j
dungeons of _Newgate . He is the first vict ' _-m of t ; e new ' _Gauging Act . ' On list Saturday evaning , at sis o'clock , as tia sat wiih his _fa-niiy at dinner , in his house at OLtario-terrare , near Portobello , he was arrested by » ub-ios _( . eetor Grey , of tbo _metropolitan police , and carried " before Mr Porter , one ot the mr-g ' _tstrates ef the head Police- ' -ffice , Here his committal was made out , and he was taer . ee removed in ona of the common covered cars ofthe city to Newgate prison . He s * _ands charged with _having spoken treason _cjainst the Queen and government at the late soiree in Limerick and havirg published _trea _^ onaUe _lacrruage in a letter to tho Protestant _farraera of Ulster in tbe United _Ims-uian of tht Oih instant . These charges ,

it i § said , he will not deny nor try to palliate . I said in one of my 1 jtters , that Mr Mitchel ' s tongue or pen would not be ' gagged , ' and I was right . People fear he is at last entrapped . Many think he will pay the _penally of loving Ireland in seven years' expatriation to a foreign land ! I think , however , the government is not mad enough yet to proceed to these extremes . They might as well proolaim war _aeainst the Irish people at once as to transport Mitchel . They won ' t do either . If the people only be patient a little , all will be well . And the governhaveis
ment know that the only chance they , by an ill-timed outbreak in Ireland . It they once could get up a partial and ill-organised insurrection , then all would go on smoothly with them after ! But they will be disappointed . The people won ' t rebel!—( at least , not soon enough for their purposes . ) Whenever it oomeg to that— ( ifoome _^ itmust)— it will come in such a manner as to disappoint their treacherous _schemeB . Paddy mm knov _/ _s better things in that line than he did fifty years ago ! The scenes of 1798 shall not be re-enacted now .
And Feargus O'Connor is not a rogue , nor a cheat , nor a coward , after all 1 What news you tell us ! Many of his disappointed and jealous foes , in Ireland , were dapping thrir hands last week , and singing imams of joy over hia downfall , with tbe English _mal-content Chartists . Yet , why do I say ' many V Ilis foes in Ireland are not ' many . ' A year ago he bad ' many' enemies in Ireland—new they are re duced almost to nothing . His foes now only reckon a few of those who fear his growing popularity , and cannot yet forgive past transactions . But those people are as powerless as he need wish them . They
are ' Like angels' visits , few and far between ;' and unable to work any sort of mischief to the brave O'Connor , or the cause in which he i 9 embarked . The great majority of Irishmen were not apprehensive that their brave countryman ' s cbaraoter will suffer from the pettv jealousies of his English and Chartist friends . Yet many of those who still fee ; prejudiced against' the Saxon ' eaid , that O'Connor ' s sun was set in England , and tbat tbe ptoplo 0 ) Britain would m more be led by a' mere Irishman . ' But though Englishmen may be bigots , still , faith ,
they ara no fools ! They know O'Connor . They remember what hc has effected , and tbey plainly perceive that without bim Chartism would soon be ' shorn of half its honours . ' Hence , they will not be blinded A few may prate and rant , and calumniate , but O'Connor is secure in bis honour , and honesty , and prowess—secure , _tos _, in the acumen , and judgment , and discernment of Englishmen . There is no fear of rivals ,, or would-be rivals . Feargus O'Coanor is still the most popular man in England . It is his own fault that he ia not already mtnarch of the vast majority of Irish _beartB ! DEFEAT OF THE _OOVEBNMBWT . — TBlUMPn OF AMITH
O HBIEN . Dcblin , Tuesday , May I 6 th . A wonder ! justice has triumphed over law I or rathei by a ' lncky ehance' has _discomfited the petty wileao ! Lord Clarendon . Smith O'Brien is at large . Thejury , which was expected to do the ' dirty work' ot the Vf _bign , has disagreed , and tbe state trials—so far ar tbey have gone—bring not ruiu to Ireland ' s hopes , or downfall to Ireland ' s defenders , but a sigual and _dccUivo triumph . There ' s ' wailing and gnashing ot _teath'at the vice-regal lodge!—despair and consternation , on Cork Hill ! Joy and congratulation _jandrenovated hopes in a hundred thousand _Iil-h cabins 1 The jury disagreed yesterday , ten being for , aad two against , a conviction , ' An inch of a miss is as good as a mile , ' so _daith the Celtic proverb , and two ' noes ' aro as good for ua as eleven , or even tbe round dozen .
They were locked up last night , and at half-past ten o ' clock this morning were again Bommoned to brin _^ _- forth their verdict . But no verdict was forthcoming It was no go . There was no obance of an agreement , and for once tn onr history the disunion of Irishmen , proved a boon for Ireland . They were then discharged , and of course , so was the ' traitor , ' thc gallant Smith O'Brien . This Is a _greatday for _Jrelani . Nothing can _exceed the eulhusiasm of the peopio . _Soiiih _O'Britn is now the IrUh Chief . The O'Connell dynasty Ib at an end . A year ago , tbe Irish Confederation was but a laughing stock in Dublin , a very raw-bead and bloody-bones in the country , now it leads Iho popular _will—Bways _$ be national opinion . Tho triumph of O'iJrien establishes tbe Confederation on a rock , against which the winds and waves of persecution and prosecution , and ' _gagging and proclamations , may lash and cbafe , and rattle in vain . '
To-day Thomas F . Meagher Is on his trial . We have high hopes of Ms triumph also . Poor Mitchel is _st'll in tht felon ' s cell in Newgate . He was _reinsvf d os a writ of Habeas yesterday , to be present at the ' r . dac : ion' of tbe jury , which ia to ' trj' him oo next Saturday . His reception amongst the _multituden was a triumph , though his paltry foes left nothing undone to insult and irritate him . On his removal back to prison , the car on which he was conveyed to the Four Courts was dispensed with , and he was thrust liken common thief or pickpocket into the police * van' u _? ed for conveying convicts from the polico offices to the different gaols and penitentiaries . They say , if an aceornrnodating )< iry can be found , ho will be transported Heaven forbiil 1

movement . "" Abi . ut half-past twelve o clock the door of the Riding School wag thrown open , and a considerable number of people entered tbe body of the place . By one o ' clock it was empb tely filled . Among the crowd several well-dressed females appeared , and a considerable number of policemen were sprinkled here and there over the meeting . Shortly before the commencement of tbe proceedings several of those who took an active part in the late National Convention came upon the platform , and were enthusiastically cheered . Amon _^ them wore Mr Ernest Jones , Mr Kydd , Mr Wheeler , and some other * . .....
At a few minutes past one o'elook Mr Hume presented himself accompanied by Mr W . Williams , late M . P . for Coventry , and was loudly _apolaurled Mr Sheriff Cubitt , and Mr _Under-Sbt-riff Wire , arrived at the same time , and Mr Sheriff Cubitt having taken the chair , Mr Under-Sberiff Wire read the r _< quisition calling tbe meeting . When he had concluded , A Person in the crowd , who eaid he was a freeholder of the county of Middlesex , demanded to ask tho Sheriffs a question before the _meeting proceeded fa tber . ( Cries of ' order , order . ' ) He observed , that a great number of police were scattered through out tha meeting , whieh he _regarded as the _iirst in troduction of the _Gauging BU . ( Great uproar and crie 3 of 'Out ; witb the police ! ' 'No Gagging
Bill !') A Person on the balcony said it was shameful to introduce a body of police constables into a meeting so [ convened . ( Cbeers , and renewed cries of'Out with the police ! ' 'Turn tbem out ! ' 'No Gagging Bill ! ' & c . ) Mr Sheriff Cubitt , addressing the _meeting , asked , ' _I-. _i it your pleasure that wo should go on with the business ? ( Crii s of * Yes , yes , ' no , no , ' and ' turn out the police . ' ) ' I see no earthly reason why you ihould feel annoyed merely because tbero happen to be Bome policemen mingled amongst you . ' ( Tremendous uproar , and renewed cries of ' Out with the _police ! ' * No spies ! "D i you call this an Englishman ' s librrty ? ' & c ) Mr Sheriff Cubitt _i-aid - . ' Gentlemen , your _wishos shall be obeyed . ' ( ' Tremendous cheering and waving of bats and handkerchiefs , which lasted for several _minuteB . )
A lane wis then opened _instinctively , and thc policemen marched out in single file amidst the most uproarioilB cheering . Mr Wit liams ( late M . P . for Coventry ) then moved the first resolution : — ' That , in tbe opinion of this meeting , the Commons' House of Paniament , as at present constituted , does not fairly represent the population , the property , er industry of the country ; fc ' _utthe disclosures made before Committtees of 1835 —1842 , and also during the present Session , prove that the return ot its mumbers bas been extensively influenced by bribery , corruption , _coeicion _, and intimidation ; tbat tho Reform Act has not realised the just _expectations of the country ; tbat since the _parsiDgof that Act the publio _experditure bas not
only been more extravoean _- , but has exceeded by many millions sterling the _< xpendi ! ure oftho last session of the unreformed Parliament ; that the _system of taxation is so contrived as to favour the aristocraoy . and to thr -w the pressure of its burthen unjustly on the industrious ( lasses of the pe < pic' Mr Williams pr _.-CKeded to show by figures that the expenditure had increased 9 ince the Reform Bill , and tint Lord John Russell had brought the country to the brink of ruin . He also _showed the unparalleled increase of the milit _.-ry and police forces under the present ministry , and Baid , when they . looked at all these facta , he called upon them to say . whether or uo the Reform Act bas _sat'sfied the expectations that were formod regarding it —( Loud cries of' No , no' )
—and whether the country was not now cal ' ed on to enrry < ut thoBe measures _premised hy Lord John Russell and Earl Grey , but which their m -a 9 _iii-eaha 1 failed to accomplish ? Thty wanted such another He form Bill , to carry out what thoso _nobleman said was _necessary for tbe c iun'rj at th'H time . ( Hear , hear . ) How waa that t > be eff _n-ted ? ( L > ud cries of' By the Cluir . tr . ' and _chern . ) That waa the important quisti m _th-v were met there that day to _discuss . The only _difference am ong them was upon the question of the franchise . ( L < ud cries of * Hear . ') _Somesentlemen called out for iln Charter , others for U-. _ivenml Suffrage , and another groat and powerful budy came forwurd , nnd wished for the present to
f ctop at Household Suffrage . ( Cries of ' No , no ' and ' The _Charter . ' ) Now they must see _whether tr no an _agreement could not he come to ( Hear , hear . ) Ha could not help saying tbat the _ChartUts _tbr-ughout the country , were evincirgthe best possible spirit and feeling . ( Hear . ) Tbey must give and take a little ; and what he would have both parties to do , would be to throw ande their minor diffe encea and unitedly to oppose the _aristotratic iifliknce which impeded their progress . Therefore he would siy , let hem give and take a little , and he would venture to say tbat the love of order , and that manly courage which had characterised the people of this country , would enable them to obtain that form of "imminent which they desired .
Mr Henry Hall , of Uxbridge , seconded thc resolution . Mr Kydd was next about to address tho meeting , when The Chairman said , as it was a county meeting , be could not be _becrd unless he waB a iree . holder . Mr Kydd said , be certainly was no freeholder , but he was a resident in tho county of Middlesex , and be understood that be was _eligible to address tie mteting'from the _ttrmsof the notice _calliDg it — ( _Considerable confusion here __ en . « ued , when the people in-. _-usting on hearing Mr Kydd , whose _speech we qaote from the Chronicle , and regret that wo cannot give entire . The Sheriff , after _i-oine consultation witb his friends , told Mr Kyild that he might proceed . )—Mr Kydd accordingly did so , and said that a union beween tho working and middle chvs' .-s waa muoh to ba desired , and sueh a union wa 3 ab > olutch * p . eQes 9 ary ,
in order to carry out the opinions of both ( Hear , hesr . ) But the working men of England had made up thoir minds on great _questions . ( _Cueera . ) They had not made up their minds toor _. _po-eall _movement ' _exo- _'pt their own , because it was imposibk tbat men couldo--me to tbe same _conclusions upon all questions . ( Hear , hear . ) But tha working men had made up their minds tbat thero should not b _..- _psves or an end of agitation tbrou _^ hsut the country _uutii such time as man ' s rights wfre fully _lvi-o _^ _nised , ( _Loudcheering . ) He saw _nothing _unreasonable to _reasonab ' e men in the _resolution . A _uencral prosperity waa essential to tbe i ; ood of all ; but , he wou d ask , had tke wealthy men oftho country done iheir duty by the working classes ? The great quest on was , what was to be d : na with tin ; _starving people This was the question thnt puzzled Lid _Jihn Kuasell . For years past tho rant-roll of 'beari-t . cracy had increased in proportion as the wages of the poor man hud decreased . Ho _we-. id notfla ter tho meet
ing , for be waa sure that if thsy _bcHiim-s arist c at * to-morrow , they would probably be lika the _wristocrat-j , ar . d resist every advance . He denbd that tbworking men entertained any notions of equality , but were prepared to live by the sweat of their brow He was a _labourer himsplf , and was convinced ibat socipty must bo changed , as well an tho House 0 ' C . _rannn : . He did no * , charge tbe aristocracy with wilfully misgoverning , but he attr .-buted their oonducl t > tbeir beln » i _^ _no rant of the true prirciples of _govornmont . Ho asked the meeting whether it was _prepan dto aasi t in tbis great _movement ( ' Ye ? , yes' )—without int : nding destruction ? ( _'Yc _s ves _, ye ? . ' )
_Ecglishmen required on y justice ; and if tba _government would only conciliate the people all would be well . Th " lower orders , the middle _claiRos , and the aristocracy , all required to assume a higher moral tone , for in order to make Universal Si . _ffrai-o work properly , society would require to be framed so a ? to suit it . After some further remark * . Mr K > dd _concluded a most eloquent address by faying , tbat all they wanted was , _ajustaiipreciationof their right * , and if govern _mento-id not adopt means to Ond the poor food , he would toll them fearlessly that there should be no peace _i-i the hall while there > vas want in the cottage . ( Loud and continued cheering ) After a few words from Mr George Beacon ,
The CuAinMAS put the resolution to tho meeting , and declared it to becorried . -Mr Home then _presented _himse'f amidst loud cheer ? . lie said he had lis encd witb much pleasura to tho _spczch of Mr Kydd , and he would ask either the Home of Peers or the _Hoii-co- ' _Commons if _th < y could produoe one _sii . gle man who could bavo so stated his ca ? e . ( Cheers ) Was it not a striking _grievance that Ruch a man _s ouhl not only not he represented , but tbat be should be disqualified from a Beat in ihe Houso ofCnmninnu itself . ( _Ctieers ) His honour-. ble fiiend ( Mr Wi ' . liams ) had _f-ntered so fully into a few , and _onlv a tew , efthe evils which class _legislation bad ir ilioted on the country , that be _wi . _uld net again go over that _s-ibject . Tbe result of the _Reform Bill hal bean tn
placo the power ot governing in tho hands of the middle elasses , and if those cbsscs performed their duty aright tbey had tbo rceans of _i-xtonding tic suffrage to others who had it not . and al _^ o to make those alterations in thu taxation of tho rountvv which were so _dcsirablo . They had found that the great _cmao ot discoLtentin this country arose from the state of tho elective franchise , and ho did n . t much wonder ; tor when he saw snch a man as Mr Kydd , who not oniy bad not a vote , but _vibo , tor want of a prnncrty qualifieitiiro _, had not _aright to a seat in the House of Commons .- ( hear , _heav ) •— , n _. | when , again ' , the working _m-. n looked round sr . _d a , thousands rolling in wealth and affluence , when he _"m' «! fcr'r . g extreme p _: verty . it _wi « but naiu-al that ho should _osmesis to b . _i |» a _* if there waa _somrthing wrong .

ti .. * _< . »' _ti » _™ A r * nfc ma tan much _onnosed to them , that wealth and rank waa too much opposed to them , many of them , perhaps , from ignorance ; but they should endeavour to instruct them , and at tl 0 present time passing events ought to be instructive to them . ( Hear , bear . ) They would be still further instructed on the 23 : d of the present month , when be brought forward his motion in the Douse of Commons on the subject of tbe franobise . ( Cheers . ) Bnt it was not in tho House of _Cdmmons that he could expect to succeed . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon gentleman concluded by moving the second refutation , which wan as follows : — ' That to _seoure the stability of the throne , public order and contentment , the constitutional rights of the people ,
_eq-ialiBation of taxation , economy of the public expenditure , just laws , and good government , it is indispensable that the elective franchise Bhould be ex tended to all men who are registered as residents for a limited time ; that the duration of Parliaments should not exceed three years ; that votes should be taken by ballot , and that there should be a more equal apportionment of members to population . Also , that we _earneat _' y invite _Reformfrs of all classes _, especially those who advocate a more extended measure of reform , to discard differences , and cordially to unite and co-operate with us for the attainment of one great and common object—the emancipapation of our country from class legislation and misgovernment !' Mr Sergeant Gabbles seconded the resolution .
Mr Ernest Jones next addrestcd the meetine , after considerable difficulties raised by the sheriff , for although a freeholder of Middlesex , Mr Jones declinod using that privilege . Ho was received with loud bursts of applause . He said he was highly desirous of seeing a cordial union between the middle and working classes , but ho wished first to understand the basis on which itwas to be founded . Na union cou'd be lasting without such an understanding , and Mi Hume had failed to give one definite promise . If they weie to unite with a party , tbey must know who they were to unite with . Now Mr Hume did not seem to _kn" > w his own mind—or was afraid to speak it—he did not veature boldly to > ay Triennial Parliaments—but did not _defiue the limits of residence— 1
or the equality of represeatation—but be spoke against Annual Parliaments , because a man could not in one year learn how to conduct business in tho House of Commons . ( _Laughter . ) Now , he would tell Mr Hnme , that honesty did not require schooling —they sent their representatives there to remedy the distress ot thc country , not to learn the triobery of'dropped orders , ' counts out , ' and the secrets of the' division bell . ' ( Hear , hear ) He would tell him , that it wa 3 not in the houso , a man ought to learn legislation , but out of the house , _amsng the people . Therefore his argument waa frivolous , since if a man did not know what the country required , before entering the house , that house was the likely placo to teach it him . ( Cheers . )
Mr _Hunio acknowledged the princ ' ple of Universal Suffrage—then why deprivo _millions ol' it for three yeara ? For if a man becomes of age one day later tban a general election , ho was disfranchised for three years—till the next one . ( Hear , hear . ) Why , Mr Hume did not femtoknow his own mind , lie said he was opposed to a Property Qualificationyet tbe resolution he moved sanctioned a Property Qualification . ( Hear . ) Well , if ho was opposed t " > a Property Qualification , how could he object to Pa > m > _-Btof Members ? ( Cheers . ) The honourable gentleman _wa-i in a fix . ( Laughter . ) Now , then _, they were called on that day to unite with the middle classes . This was tbe courtship between the middle c l ass maid and the Chartist man ; and
the _littie maid had looked very sweet ; but before he , for one , c mid sanction the marriage , he must read thc marriage contract , and see that that contract was the Six Points of tbe Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho did not like tbe preparations for the _wedding . Were the policemen the bridesmen , and the old pon 8 ion"r 3 outside the bridesmaids ? ( _Deafeoing cheers and laughter . ) Bah ! Their reform _movement smelt too much of A 21 and the _bltidgean . ( Hear , hear ) Why had they tried to range a double _raaije of po ; ice before the _plitform ? ( Hear . ) It was passing a vote of no confidence iu the people ; and if they were _undeaerving of confi deuce , they ou _» bt to Bcorn to ask for their friendship ( _Coeera . ) Or it waa passing a vote of no
confideneo in themselves . If so , bow could tbey expect us te _confine ? ( Loud cheers . ) The fact was , they were afraid to quit the verge of the great ocean ol damocracy , where , indeed , the real shoals and rocks lay , but w -uld noS venture out in the midst of that vast ocean where the vessel of the State could alone ride with safety . ( Cbeers ) He would first put the question on the basis of principle . Were _theyrigh- , or were they wrong ? If the people were right , what honest man o _^ uld ask thera to '( jive and take ' to yb ; d baif— to be only half honest ? ( _Enthusiasiic cheers . ) If the people were wrong wh y did they not toll tbem so honestly at once ? ( Repeated cheering . ) Ha would now meet them with their
own weapons , on tbe ground of expediency , which Mr Hums himself hud taken . They called on thc Chartists to march under the _raiddlS class b inner ; _Nsw , then , let She weaker party join the _atronger . Tnere is « ome ' expediency' in that Which , continued the speaker , is the stronger ? Ia the hou e you are the weakest party . And I will now _sb . w you who is strongest out of the house . I will not more an amendment , but just show you your mistake . Look well on this meeting , sir . Now , men of London _e-ery one of you , who is for tho Peop _' e ' B Charter , whole and entire , hold up his hand . ( A whole forest of hands , almost every one in the body ofthe meeting , obeyed the call , amidst deafening and often reiterated cheering )
Mr Evans moved as an amendment , ' That the property-qualification of members should be _aboished ; that the duration ef Parliament Bhould be limited to three years ; thatthe elective franchise _shou'd bs extended to all householders _aid oocupierB of apartments paying rent at the rate of £ 6 per annum , and tbat parliamentary districts be equalised . ' ( _Grotnsand hissep . ) Mr IIetheuinoton support ed the motion Mi Spur , as a Chartist , would support the motion on the otinciple o _* _expediency . Mr Verni-n would oppose it . Mr May would move , as a further amendment , ' That it is the deliberate opinion of this meeting that nont- of tke evils complained of will ever b _? rectified but hy the enactment of the full six points ' of the Pioplo ' _s Charter . ' Mr V _7 hkklhr seconded this amendment .
Mr B . _O'BniEN ( wha was greeted with interrogatory shouts of' Who ran away < vn 10 : h of April ? ' ) was willing to ( jive the middle classes a trial , and wcuM _support Mr Hume ' s motion . ( Groans and _hissLf ) The IIT . Mr Penman next attempted _toaddivss thc meeting in favour of the motion , and told tbem a reason why they should not all be freemen was that they would have , in tbat case , to serve on juries , ( Immoderate laughter , amid which , after some ineffectual _atttmpts to speak , tbe hon . gentleman sat doiva ) Mr Hume then replied , and characterised the ' whole hog Chartirts who _r-jected the overtures of the middle classes _ai 'impraciicablee _, ' and ' Utopian (' reamers , ' as things at present stood in this country . ( Groans . )
The CnAtmiAN then _proceeded to take the sense of the _niieuuJ while a scena of considerable confu . Mon was created by certain parties . The chairman at first refusing to put the rider for the Charter , and being forced to do so . on putting it out of ita regular c _airse , the meeting did not know what tLoy were to vote for , and some ofthe leading Chartists vOted for Mr _Il'imo A general call was then made to put it to the v _^ te again , but the sheriff refused to do so-A mo ion for a petition to both II 11 es of Parliament , founded upon the _resolution ? , was then madt- _, seconded , » nd lost by tour to © ne , yet the sheriff declared it carried . A motion fir a vote of thanks to tho sheriff waB negatived , and three hearty cheers for the Charter wire given instead .
The Times Chronicle , and other papers , are _forci-d to admit that the show of hands taken by Air Jones for the Charter was almost unanimous , and the _disgraceful trick ofthe ' Reformers ' thus must recoil on their own heads .
