The opinion ofthe beat informed is , that , ere long , a rupture will take place between England and Prance , and then you will see how the j noble Lord John will yield to the sound judgment of the sound English people . The National Assembly , as it is called , is doubly guarded—in fact , the place more resembles a huge gaol than a House of Commons . The soldiers here are to be constantly seen walking arm and arm with the _working-men ; and nothing is more dreaded than tlie attachment of the army to the rentable Republican
principles . _Tbis is Wednesday when I now write , and I shall be in my place inthe SHOW-BOX on Friday—where I ever have , and I trust ever shall—faithfully represent your order . Ever your Faithful Friend and Representative , Feakgus _O'Cojo tob .

. . m . MRS . FUSSELL . _Chabhsts : It is our duty to apprise you that Mrs . Fusseil , wife of John Fusseil , now suffering imprisonment in _Totbill Fields House of Correction , for advocating your cause , is in imminent pecuniary difficulties . Knowing this fact , ' a few friends have formed themselves into a Committee , who beg jus to announce-to those who have hearts to fed . for suffering humanity , that they have taken the Standard Theatre for the Benefit of Mbs . Fosseix and Fault , for _"Wednesday . Etching , May 29 , 1850 , when an Entertainment will be _presented and supported by . a host of talent !
We trust . that this notice will be responded to in _such . a manner , -as at once to relieve Mrs . Fusseil from her pressing difficulties , and to g ive the assurance that the people are not nngrateful , nor unmindful of the -sufferings of her husband in the cause of political progress .

SCOTTISH CHARTIST , CONTENTION . TO THE CHARTISTS OF _SCOTLAND . FELLOW-CousiErMEH , —We feel it a duty , _Bcjambent upon ' as . to address pa at the _premereinentr _^ There _^ itever was a _^ ffie _^ _nOT _^ " was mosBiiecessary ' r to-thiow off that apathy which has hitherto paralysed the efforts of the staunch advocates of the People ' s Charter , both in and out of Parliament , and emboldened the Premier ( Lord John Russell , ) to resist the demand for popular right , and falsely representing the people as being satisfied , and not wanting reform . The circumstances impending over our country , behove us to rouse the dormant energies of the masses , for the obtainment of their social and political rights .
The movement is gathering once more in the mightiness of its majesty , stronger in its intellectual aspect in the eyes of all classes of society . Reformers of all shades are besieging the strongholds of corruption , and , if we be bat true to ourselves , the contest cannot long be doubtful ; and , sooner or later , the superstructure , which is based on the rain and misery of the proletarian classes , must fall . The victims of Whig spies and informers are emerging from their dungeons , apparently with increased ardour and affection for the principles of political justice ; their zeal whetted more keenly , and with resolves fixed mere than ever to stick fo the old banner . The
movement promises soon to become as vigo rous as any in the history of Britain , demonstrating the utter impossibility of arresting the march of Democracy , even amid the fire of persecution . Brothers , many of you know to what a condition tens of thousands have been reduced ; a vast number are now sunk into the lowest depths of despair , by poverty , degradation , and crime . The statistics of the public press bear ample testimony to the fact , that the condition of the labouring classes is becoming worse every year . The _labourer , on account
of repeated reductions , has been obliged to part with every comfort ; his very means of subsistence have been forced down fo the starvation point ; a false , selfish , unnatural , and grasping theory of political economy has vitiated our entire system ; the poison of its influence is diffused throughout all the ramifications of society . Capital , instead of being Subservient to Labour , which created it , has become its tyrant and master . Such is the condition of the free labourer of Britain ,-that we hear the slavery abolitionists telling the planters of America , that free labourmust and "will become cheaper than that of their slaves .
Will Scotchmen remain quiescent when England is on the move ? What ! will you pay a tribute of respect to the names and memories of a Palmer and a Mnir , and not struggle to perpetuate the motives and the princi ples by which they were actuated ? What I do you not hear that Erin ' s sons are making their voices echo as one through the trumpetof democracy ? Once again , we ask yon
if you are prepared for such a fate as the white slaveholder of this country tells the black slaveholder of America is yours ? Areye content , all ye who have assisted in raising tins country to the highest pitch of wealth and commercial grandeur , to p ine in hopeless wretchedness ? _5 f you are , hug your chains , and overpowering toil and endless p rivations is what you will lave to endure .
As you , the fathers of the rising _generation , are exhausting your physical energies , so your progeny will become more * eak and imbecile in the same ratio . Your children are sad now , but they will be Bidder as their lives lengthen . If you are _detomiaed to remain in a state of apathy , until £ _kss legislation has finished its deadly work , you will have a double amount of misery and destitution to bequeath to your offspring _, _f lust it be their lot thus to suffer ? Never ! it 18 the ordination of heaven , that man should eatn his bread by the sweat of Ms brow ; the erfor is , that you have to sweat for others ins ead of yourselves . In accordance with these ' _fcffs , we have resolved to bold a general ,

_^ GRAND WHITSUNTIDE CHARTIST HOLIDAY . EXCURSION T 0 GBAVE 8 END AND KENTISH DEMONSTRATION . : On Tuesday morning , May the 21 st , at a quarter past eight , hundreds of good and true Democrats might have been seen wending their way to London Bridge , determined to leave the loom , shuttle , bench , last ,- and desk for at least twelve hours , ' and enjoy the refreshing air of Essex and Kent , ' and the breezes of- "Old Father Thames , " by joining the Provisional Committee of the National
Charter Association in an Excursion it to Gravesend . ' That elegant and commodious steam-boat _the . Gem , was moored off Fresh Wharf , ' and' on the arrival of the . Provisional Committee , headed by Messrs . G . J . Harney , Reynolds , & c , it was ; greeted . with hearty plaudits of welcome , . ; The _^ moorings being loosened , at nine o ' clock we found ourselves gliding down the pool , amidst a forest of maBts , Walter Cox ' s brass band playing the enlivening strains , "Thedays we went a Gypsying a long time ago , " & c ., ever and anon being
recognised and greeted by some friendly tar , each pier adding to . our numbers , until the Gem could take no more ; and presenting as respectable and animated a freight as ever the "GreatMetropolisV furnished , or "Whitsua _nl » a _7 l fi _? 4 _^ forth'r _^ 6 o _^^^ tiie Essex marshes a _^ Kenti _^ h _^ s present di most stxikmg and pic _^ _sque ; contrast , the passengers of the Gem -struck up that soulinspiring Hymn , " The Marsellaise . " The Town Pier being at length reached , and the disembarkation having taken place , amidst the hearty cheers of the bystanders ,
The procession was formed four a breast . The Provisional Committee at the head , the band in front playing"The Marsellaise . " The procession extended from the pier to the _Wortham-road . The spacious grounds of the Bat and Ball Tavern being reached , the company separated—some to , visit Windmill-hill , and admire Rosherville , whilst others engaged at an exhilarating game of cricket , base ball , and other recreations . At one o ' clock , the large Clab Room was laid out with an excellent cold collation , embracing great variety , and suiting every , taste . The dinner was served up in good style ; and
after the taMea were cleared , Mr . T . Brown sang "The Marsellaise , " the whole audience johuBg in chorus . A collection was then made for the German and Polish refugees , and £ 1 10 s . was collected , and handed ever to Mr . Langenschwarz , for presentation to tbe Committee in Greek-street , Soho . The waiters likewise learned that Chartists can be generous as well as just ; and tbe , various rails , boats , and roads , having brought a large _acquisition of democratic strength from Rochester , Stroud , Chatham , _Sheerness , Tunbridge , Tunbridge-wells _, Greenwich , Woolwich , Maidstone , & c , & c The Grand Demonstration was formed in
an immense field , at the back ofthe Tavern . We have heard the numbers present variously estimated at seven , eight , and nine thousand ; and at three o ' clock precisely , Mr . John Randall , a resident of the town , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst loud cheers . The Chairman said , they bad assembled to consider matters of a very serious nature , and he trusted they would meet with
that calm deliberation their merits so justly entitled them too ; the people of this country toiled long and hard , and were grieved to see the products of their industry lavished on the idle , the useless , and tiie dissolute . He trusted they would give a fair hearing to all who might present themselves to their notice , and doubtless a remedy would be pointed out for the grievous ills which now oppressed them . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . G . W-. M . Reynolds was announced to move the resolution as follows , amidst an enthusiastic burst of applause : — " That this meeting ia of opinion that the People ' s Charter is only valuable as a means to accomplish such Social Reforms as shall place so much of the _materialsof _theearthinthepossessionof the people as shall enable the producer to retain a full share of the product of his own industry . '—Mr . Reynolds said , it gave him great pleasure to known that Chartism had at length reached Gravesend . The authorities and magnates ofthe town were alarmed at their
Demonstration , and feared that an emeute wonld take place ; but he wished them to know that the Chartists depended on reason and intelligence to make their beneficent principles paramount . The first great principle in the People ' s Charter was universal suffrage , and he really could not understand upon what principle the few in any country made laws to bind the many , or why those who produced the necessaries and
luxuries of life , and contributed to all the taxes and other imposts , should be excluded from the rig hts of citizenship . ( Loud cheers . ) Was it right that one class should say to another : you are slaves , we possess power , and will retain it in spite of you ; and he was quite at a loss to understand upon what principle this was done . He knew that the mass of the people had been declared i gnorant _^ but he believed that it was their practical intelligence that was feared ;

( Great cheering ) . Was it prudent or wise , to ; expect that tbe 'House of Commons , which ,: represented these . parties , wottldreformitself ? No ; the only way by which a real'reform could
be effected' _was'for every man to possess a yofe . . ;( _Ldttd _, ' eneers . _)^ . They ' _wevtpld did universal suffrage ' prevaatheywwb _^ nlT _ft " " a bloody democracy ; " but he boldly pointed to France , and said , there universal suffrage prevails , but its first effect was to put down the political scaffold , and allow the tyrants to escape , to exhibit . to _; the world a nation ' s forbearance , and the humanity of an all powerful and triumphant democracy . ( Applause . ) But , wherever a reaction bad taken place , the people had beed made to feel a tyrant ' s vengeance , thus showing that it was
in the breasts ofthe so-called upper classes in which bloody _instinots _' . reigned ; ( Cheers . ) Secondl y , the Charter demanded the ballot to protect the _yoterai in the exercise of their electoral franchise ,, and . to prevent them- being driven to the : poll like sheep to the slaughter . The next principle' was annual parliaments ; and these _wereNecessary , otherwise , / men would go into the . House witHone ' set of prin ' _- ciples and . come put with another . - ( Hear , hear . ) Short reckonings were well calculated to keep people virtuous . Neither would' these of _thmaelvwbe sufficient , as to _inauio _\ xne
representation of all classes it was necessary that the horny handed mechanic should be admitted to the House , as it was the- producer only that could understand labours wants and labour ' s interest , —( Cheers)—hence , tiie property qualification mnst . be abolished , and members be paid for their- services . ; ( Hear , hear . ) Again , they must have tbe ' electoral districts equalised : for how absurd was it : to find the petty constituency of Harwich exercising as much parliamentary influence as the great borough of the Tower Hamlets , with its monster population ; or a small division of
Northamptonshire , with tbe great West Ridmg of Yorkshire . ( Cheers . ) As regarded the property qualification , Mr . Richard Cobden nowhadproperty , and was supposed to possess the intellect to fit him for a representative ; but take away his property , and let his mental qualification remain , and then he would be told , notwithstanding , that be was no longer fitted for a . representative . ( Hear , hear . ) Did not . this clearly show the gross humbug and absurdity of property qualifications ? ( Cheers . ) The aristocracy of a _neighr bouring county had shown that they admired
Universal . Suffrage so long- as it . worked for their interest ; but w _^ en _^ _pie _^ men , of France _senl . their ' real : represemalives to the _ABsembly-y of ' course Universal Suffrage must be put down ; ' but they had tasted the . sweets of electoral power , and would rather yield up their lives than the rights of citizenship . ( Great cheers . ) The men who had convened this magnificent gathering to day were the Chartists ofthe metropolis , who were not the ambitious turbulent demagogues they had been represented to be , but men of peace , who
desired rights , liberties , and privileges for all . Chartism should yet penetrate into every village , hamlet , and town of this country , and England become great , glorious , and free , through tbe mind of Chartism . The Charter is simply the means to an end , and will , when properly applied , work such a moral and social revolution , as would permit the bees to consume the honey they produce ; or , in other words , make the people to produce , consume , and enjoy . ( Great cheering . ) This was the Chartists first vintto Gravesend , but it should not be the last . He had now to entreat them
to form a locality , elect their local officers , and elect members in the National Charter Association . It was necessary that the people should be organized and prepared for coming events . He trusted they would press onwards in the good cause , neither staying or going back , until then * efforts were crowned with success . ( Greatcheering . ) Mr . Julian Harney came forward to second the resolution , and was greeted with prolonged cheering , and said , amongst Political and Social Reformers the name of Ernest Jones was pre-eminent . ( Loud cheers . ) A memorial
had been adopted at a public meeting , praying for the liberation of their suffering friend , and others who were incarcerated for their advocacy of _popularrights . That memorial had been transmitted to Sir G . Grey . He ( Mr . Harney ) wished them to understand that if Sir & Grey was not personally present amongst the Chartists at Gravesend he was represented by letter . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Harney here read a letter signed " Waddington , '' which simply said he was desired by Sir G . Greyto acknowledge the receipt ofthe memorial . This to them seemed _ a laughable
document , but it was not so to Ernest Jones , who had nearly sacrificed his lifein their cause . ( Hear , hear . ) When the people petitioned or memorialised , such empty vague letterswereall the satisfaction tbey received , wMohbe ( Mr . Harney ) took to mean— " You may save yourselves the trouble of putting pen to paper , as we ( your rulers ) look upon petitioning as a farce . " And so it was a farce , unless backed up by the omnipotent strength of the people . ( Hear , hear . ) A new "dodge" had been recently played off to stay political movements , both here and on the continent . He alluded to the withdrawal of the French Ambassador . He could
not pretend to say which government was most in the wrong—he kuew that neither were ever inthe right . ( laughter and cheers . ) In his soul , he believed the French government was playing this move off to distract the French people ' s attention from the conspiracy to destroy Universal Suffrage . In France , at present between nine and ten millions of persons possessed the elective franchise ; but , should the new bill ever become law—that is to say , if a new revolution did not sweep both law and lawmakers to the devil —( Cheers . )—it would disfranchise at least one-half the present electors . A very pretty way , truly , to ' " regulate" universal suffrage ! Ah ! universal suffrage was very good so long as it elected aristocrats , money-mongers , and raan-monkies , like Louis Napoleon —( loud cheers)—but immediately the people turned it to their own
account-then , of course , it must be destroyed . ( Dear , hear . ) He cordially seconded the call made by Mr . Reynolds , and trusted they would become members of the Association . Let no man stand aloof , saving— "My standing out can make no difference ' ; " because , if each brick did so , he would like to know what would become of the building ! ( Cheers . ) Lord Brougham had , in the House of Lords , maligned the noble refugees . He had denounced them as crapuloas conspirators ; but he ( Mr . Harney ) flung back the iasult . Sure he was , that if the people of England were polled , the vast majority would vote that Brougham ' s pension should be applied to the support of the bravo and good men that old renegade bad calumniated .

The party onboard gave three cheers for the Charter , which was heartily responded to from the shore , and we found ourselves making rapid way towards the metropolis .

•¦; BRADFORD . Bradford has again given proof of the strong democratic feelii-g which pervades in that town . A public procession , dinner and meeting were announced in honour of the late Chartist prisoners , to be held at Mr . North ' s gardens , at Low Moor , three miles from the town , on Sunday last . The procession was arranged for eleven o ' clock , but long before that time the town exhibited an animated appearance . Flags and banners were displayed in various localities , especially on the Manchester-road . At eleven o ' clock , the bowling-green ,
inthe centre of Bradford , was crowded , and the entrance ' ofa brass band and' procession from Bingley , added to the excitement of the scene . Numerous banners were in . readiness ; but as some mawkish professors of religion objected to the procession , it was resolved to proceed with onl y one banner in front ; then , as the multitude blocked up the public thoroughfare , the two marshals , Mr . James _Ramsden ( alias William Tell ) , and M . Isaac Jefferson
( alias Wat Tyler ) , presented their portly figures , and-ordered them to "fall in . " The late' prisoners took ' their places four a-breast ; . and the people forming in procession ; behind them , marched forward to the MancbeBter-road , where the word "halt" issued from the stentorian lungB of Wat Tyler . ' The band then struck up , upon which the heads of , the . police made their appearance , and insolently demanded that tho music should cease . A banner was then
selected , bearing a motto suitable - to the occasion : —namely , •'' Liberty , Equality , Fraternity " . " . The procession moved , forward , and haying passed through the toll-bar , the band again played , and continued without further interruption . On the ' way to the place of meeting thousands flocked on ' the . hill sides from Horton , Wibsey , and the adjacent neighbourhood , and all testified their , sympathy towards the late victims of Whig tyranny and aristocratic oppression . On arriving at the People ' s Gardens the scene was truly magnificent . Along table , extending some hundred yards , was
placed between two rows of trees ; and in various parts were flags bearing appropriate mottoes . Such ! " was the throng and enthusiasm , that a "' great number who wished to dine ; could not be accommodated . The dinner gave general _satisfaction , and was presided over by Mr . David Lightowler , one of the late prisoners , who wore a fac-simile of his prison dress on the occasion . At the conclusion of the dinner , a heavy shower caused the company to seek shelter , and thus prevented the toasts and sentiments from being put from the table '; they were consequently reserved until the time for the
PUBLIC MEETING . On the motion of ' Mr . Geobob White , Mr . David _LioutowI / EK was unanimously called to the chair _, ne said ho felt highly flattered , by being called on to preside ever a meeting convened for the purpose of doing honour to himself and bis late follow prisoners , and thus stamping their conduct with public approbation . He stood before them to assert the

The vast multitude , whose thunderine : _chcets-, ( tbe royal salute of the sovereign' people ) , ' greeted the preachers of _democracy on the _' greeh of Carrick , attests ' the ignomiuious failure of those shabby _expedients to prevent the authoritative expression of the puWio voice in favour of the Irish Democratic Association . ; _t An additional police force was stationed . in the town for a few days previous to the day of meeting , and the troops were confined , to barracks . during the entire of the day , ready to act at a moment's
warning . - The town-was crowded with people during the day , and the different roads leading to the place of meeting were thronged with the population ' of the neighbouring counties wending their way to the centre bf attraction . There' passed the Tipperary peasant , with his elastic gait and laughing eye _^ -the wild mountaineer of Coimeragb _^ wbose bojd front , firm step , and erect figure , ' . showed the fearless nurseling of nature—and the " girl 9 ' . of Kilkenny , " with their rich raven curls , theirrl _^« wlartihg eyes , and their _. _modest graceful _figuresl _^;) ' ( The platform , which waB decoifated with _gteen boughs , was erected on the fair-greeny where a view might be . obtained of a _large portion ofthe rich
valley extending from the " county of Waterford mountains to Slievenamon , and of one of those grand ranges of Irish mountains which awe and elevate the soul of the beholder , and which fix upon this English province the indelible features of nationality . - . ; At . balf-past two the number of persons assembled on the green was estimated , by experienced observers on- , the platform , to be at least ten thousand . The _interest . and excitement , which were preserved up to the latest instant of the proceedings , were , intense . We have never witnessed greater enthusiasm in the palmiest days of agitation . The crowd was actually wedged together ; and when hands were called up for the resolutions , the pressure was so great that none could be lifted unless those ' on the outskirts ofthe meeting . ¦ !
This meeting had astonished and confounded the enomies of Democracy in this locality , for they : remarked , with dismay , the terrible earnestness with which tbe speakers enunciated the boldest ' and most telling truths , and the vehement desire of liberty which prompted the people to obey the _summons- ' of a few men ; without name or rank ; _becauseitifose men _Uudsdown a : manly _pOliby , eschewed , _siarory * _? and begging . 8 gitatibns , and pointed outtheancBnt , honoured , and speedy method by which oppression _, has been , dashed , to . the ground in all ages and " ¦
countries . "" . : . ¦ . _'•» We understand that many were deterred from attending the meeting by the shameful intimidation _praotised by the neighbouring landlords ,. some of whom ( Mr . Stewart and Lord Bessborougn ) placed their creatures upon the roads -leading to Carrick , with directions to take down the names of as many of their _"humau ,. stock" as dare"to 'disobey _^ hem . There were several _police-constaWes scattered through the crowd , one or two of whom took notes . Tbe resident magistrate and sub-inspector of police were also present ; and Head-Constable Orrhovered like an unquiet spirit on the outskirts . There were deputations present from Kilkenny , Cork , Callan ; and delegates from Clonmel and Waterford arrived during the meeting . They were received with great enthusiasm , especially the Kilkenny men . Thero was a great deal of disappointment expressed at the absence of the Dublin
gentlemen who had been invited . Mr . Thomas _Fitipatrick was called to the chair , and the meeting was addressed by Mi * . Graham , ' of Kilkenny , Mr . J . Hail , from Cork . Mr . Joseph O'Grady , Mr . P . Afackey , of Kilkenny , and others . The speeches—particularly ofthe two last-named gentlemen—were most eloquent and soul-stirring _. The following significant and excellent resolutions were unanimously adopted : — " That the Irish Democratic Association possesses the confidence of this meeting ; and that we plaee the utmost reliance on the principles of self-respect and personal independence , which that body inculcates as means of Achieving the regeneration of our country . " " That as the people form the bone and sinew of a popular organisation , they also possess the brain and strength necessary to conduct it to triumph , and therefore ought never to resign into the hands of a few the absolute direction and control of their own movements .

A Sign Of The Times.—A Strong Proof Of T...
A Sign of the Times . —A strong proof of the prosperity of the country is seen in the general diminution of the number of offenders for trial at the various spring sessions . At the Sheffield sessions on Friday week the number of prisoners for trial was fourteen , and the number of barristers in attendance twenty . Of these twenty no less than fourteen were briefless . It was remarked by Wilson Overend , Esq ., the chairman , that there had been
fewer offences committed in this district since the commencement of the present year that within the same period for a long time past . The Di'kb of York ' s Column . —In consequence of a requisition forwarded by Mr . Bedford , the coroner for Westminster , to her Majesty ' s Commissioners of Woods and Forests , directing their attention to the immediate necessity of erecting an iron protection over the hand rail on the top of the Duke of York ' s Column , an order has been give by the authorities to have a light iron railing at once securely fixed , similar to that on the summit of the city Monument on Fish-street-bill . _ _
The Arctic Searching Expedition . —On Tuesday a parliamentary paper was printed containing an estimate of the sums required to provide for \ , he expenses on account ofthe Arctic searching expeditions under the commands of Captain Austin and Captain Perry . Tho wages to seamen and marines are estimated at £ 21 , 131 ; for victuals for the same , £ 8 , 480 ; naval stores , & c , £ 5 , 400 ; medicines and medical stores , £ 550 ; and miscellaneous services , £ 8 , 368 ; making the sum of £ 33 , 929 . The supplementary estimate of the royal navy for the current year amounts in the whole to £ 58 , 292 . ' Icebergs in the Atlantic—Intelligence was received at Lloyd ' s ou Saturday last , by the Mary ,
Captain _Haguet , just arrived at Bristol , from Newfoundland , of an enormous field of ice , upwards of 150 miles in length , floating in the Atlantic , alout the parallel of latitude 46 . The Mary was entangled for several days amongst the icebergs , some of which were more than 200 yards high out of the water , and escaped from amongst them with extreme difficulty . At tbe time se \ e . _'al other vessels were beset , and it is strongly feared that as the ice lies in the direct track of vessels crossing tbe Atlar . tic , some serious disaster will be caused . This early drifting of ico from the Polar seas is considered extremely favourable to the expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his brave _compaDions .
