MELITASY I 1 TTEBFEBENCE . ¦ Mil i tu'ABi Y mmSRFEBSKtSE .
"We are indebted to the courtesy of onr excellent ^ contemporary , the Northern Liberator , for the following report of a .
PUBLIC : MEETING IN THE MUSIC HALL , NEWCASTLE ,, ON SATUXDAT EVENING XAST . ^ X ) n Saturday evening , a meeting of the Radical Reformers was held in the Music HaD , for the . purpose of adopting a petition the House of Commoas ^ on the subject of the late nnconstitational interference of ( h& mJKtary . At eight o ' clock , the n&ln « s crowded to excess , and Feargus O'Connor and Thomas Doubleday , Esots ., on their entrance , ¦ were greeted with loud and repeated cheers . Harmr amended the platform , Fbargus O'Coxxob , Esq .. presented himself "to the meeting , amidst reaewed ajjplsase , and said that as he looked upon the present meeting as a contimiaficm of die last , he shoiild more that Mr . Douhleday do take the
The - Chairman , who was received with great applause , said , —Friends and Fellow-countrymen , it appears tome ihat I cannot commence business -better , than "by giving a correct and dispassionate statement of what occurred at the last meeting . After-they heard that statement they would take the : steps . that were necessary to bring the affair before , the proper tribunals . They- had arrived at Ihehegmning of a new era—since 1819 , when the people were sabred on the field of Peterloo , no military- officer , either with or withont a magistrate's order , had -dared to obtrude M » myrmidons into fiie presence of a public meeting . This forbearance , it seemed , was to exist no longer , though iheymet under the authority of the laws and tie
cxvii magistrate , they were te be msnlted and menaced by troops , if they were not to be actually assaulted , they were at least to have the bludgeon held over their heads ; they were to be overawed in their constitutional deliberations by the cannon , the sabre , and the bayonet . ( Loud cheers . ) This was the beginning of anew reign . The meeting -which they held was as regularly oonvened a meeting as had ever been held in England ^ they had waited on the authorities—3 ie was one himself Vho waited on the Mayor , they informed him of the timf » for holding-the meeting , the time for leaving Jvewcastb and going to the Moor . That gentlemen told the deputation that he had no objection , and -could hare no objection , and that he relied on the
people of the - >« orth of England to keep the peace . The only request he made was that they -would , if it were convenient , leave Mm clear streets at half-past ten , the hour at wbichhe andlhe council were to proceed to divine service . This . die deputation promised to do , and they performed their promise to the letter . ^ He ^ did nor see the Mayor in his church-going procession , but lie understood from those who did see him , that he -was . attended by about thirty persons , the streets were clear enough , and nobod y to interrupt the council . ( Laughter . ) An application had , he believed , been made ^ o the herbage committee , of this he-was not certain , but there were gentlemen present who could set him right , [ here Mr . Devrr observed that such an
application had not been made , as it was eouodepAl a matter of trifling importance , ] jand a matter of trifling importance it certainly was . Well , to tl : e ^ loor they went , not in miiiiary array , but in civil order they proceeded to business ,, and when the proceedings had progressed to about one third , tiiev saw coming , by a circuitous march , a regiment of dragoons . This was folio-wed by a regiment of infantry , and a field piece nr two . - They were not in the commission of any illegal act , they were not alarmed but Still they could not help seeing the troops and cannon . He , for his own part , felt no alarm , and lie saw enough to convinc ? him , that neither did any man in the meeting . They also felt strong in the conviction , that if any illegal aggression ' were made
npon them , their arms -would in a short time be in the hands of the people , and the troops iu the nearest ditch . ( Cheers . ) Though this formidable array was brougtt upon them , the resolutions w ^ re put to the meeting and passed . The troops came as ne ; -r the meeting as _ they dared , and he believed they gave it some curious looks ; th ^ y went oa and fired their vollies he believed with" shaking nerves , for such a set of penny crackers he had never huard in his life . { Laughter . ) The noise went on , the penny crackers went off , ( renewed laughter . ) and the meeting went on with its- business , neither alarmed nor irritated . The proceedings were gone through , and the vote of thanks voted to the chairman , when he saw the troops coming again on
them , and he did take occasion to say , that if they thoiagfli to alarm . Vifm they liad mistaken their man mQsf damnably . ( Loudekeers . ) He took tne liberty of saying that , and the business being at'an er d , he iissofeed the meeting . If the troops had taken the natural coarse , the road that all men of sense would have taken , they would have brought their twelve pounaersln tliereaxof tie race ceurse cut , and thence straight to the barracks ; but they thought they would just come and offer another insult to the people , so with their squadron of cavalry and their cannon to back it , they took a circuitous route , and came down on the front of the meeting , whilst ' the infantry closed them in , in the rear . He went himself to' tb e back of the hustings , and he saw the infantry inarch
through the people ; and if he and the others had not restrained the expressions of their indignation , bad consequences might have ensued , the cavalry at the same time coming close in iront as to divide a part of the meeting from the main body . The hissing and other expressions of the people ' s indignation was increasing ; he , however , assisted by his friend Mr . O'Connor and other gentlemen on fhe platform , succeeded in restoring silence , an d the mihisry wended their way to their barracks . He did not say that there were any criminal intention on the part of the Commanding Officer , but he did say that a more injudicious step never was taken by any officer , and if he was not a knave lie must be a fooL He had evidence , however , that proved to his
mind—he didnot say positively—but he had such evidence as went far u > satisfy his mind that this affair was pre-concerted . He was met on the preceding day by a friend , or rather acquaintance , who beckoned him back from a considerable distance , to take his leave of him . He ( Mr . D . ) thanked him for his courtesy , and said , that if they did not meet in this world they would meet in the next . He had also to inform them on the authority of a man whom they all knew to be incapable of misrepresentation ¦ or -untruth , a man whose honour and integrity stood above even the breath of slander , Mr . Robert lilakey , of Morpeth . ( Loud cheers . ) That gentleman was asked by a friendin Morpeth , whether it was his intention to attend the meeting , he replied , that being
the only magistrate in Morpeth besides the Mayor , lie conld not leave that town on the occasion , and the other rejoined , you do well to stay at home , it is not a very pleasant tiling to be shot . These were only straws , but straws thrown Tip wuXshow which way the wind biow £ , and he again repeated , that it was highly probable that there was pre-concerted treachery in this affair . He had now given 'them a history of the proceedings , and he did not hesitate to say , that it was to say the least , a most unconstitutional aggression on the rights of the people , and if they were inclined to do justice to themselves as he . inclined , they would bring the matter before die v House of Comons . As their chairman , they should not want his services till the affair had undergone a
searching examination . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . James Air , in rising to propose the first resolution said , that he would not take up much 01 their time ,-but he must say something about thetmsronstitutrooaJ proceedings which they had witnessed on the Moor on last Thursday . - It was his opinion that if their meetings were to"b *» surrounded with fixed bayonet * they should in fntnre meet with fixed bayonets and be prepared for whatever might befal . ( Lond-cheers . ) It wa « no use to mince the matter , the necessity of leaning back upon physical force was becoming apparent to alL They had" attempted to force the accursed Poor Law down the throats of die men of Bradford , but the men of Bradford opposed itbyphTsieaJJbrce , and die consequence was , that
the odious enactment had not been thrustupon them . He had long been an advocate for moral force , but he doubted it would not £ o , and at all events , it would be no harm to be prepared . Whigs and Tories wereallthesametothepeople . If they wanted ^ perform idolamnujworsaip to a thing called a virgin Queen might they not allow the people to express an opinion that tiiey would not join in the sinful and degrading worship oJ-rither & he king or she king . ( Lona laughter . ) To petition the present House of Commons was not altogether what pleased him ; but he believed there was no odier way of approaching their sacred sanctuary . -Instead of that house being the serraits « Clhe . people , the people were its petitioners , and if they did petition bitter disatmointment in
every instance marked the result . They had appointed a committee to inquire into trades' combination , they had invited the cotton lords of Manches ter to attend and give evidence , but one of them did not go forward and they were forced to take the evidence of a magistrate , or a superintendent of police . Nothing good was to be expected from die present legislature , but this step it was necessary to take . H e Trould say no more on die subj act , but as & working man there was something dne from him to thpir «» f <*» vlpnt r ^ ypnim , He ( Mx » Ayr ) wasnorgiven to flattery , nebbdy could charge bJni with thatj but he would express his opinion of the coed-set of that gentleman on die Town Moor , and not only his firm
and manly conduct on that occasion , but his conduct on ^ exery occasion where the cause of ; 'the people cecuired his services . Look at his conduct , among iiat base and Blavish conclave , the Town Council , jrhen-solicited by the Mayor to attend their GoTpna vdon mnnuneri&s j "No , " said their talented friend , ** I intend toba with the people on the TvwaMoor . " ( Cheer * . ) , When he « cw that seatin « a . tj las foeart burned within him , and now he was standing in his own name , and in the name of die working men of the North of England , to return V"i their best thanlac " ( Renewed cheering . ) It was not with' a cheer or * clap of the hands that roch enicei wert

to be requited ; that gentleman wag the conductor of a Liberal press , and if they knew the importance of a Liberal press , they would surely be found to support it . The immortal Sheridan said , " Give the Ministry a corrupt House of Commons and a corrupt House of Lords , but give me a free press and I will freethe country . " If they would express a due sense of his undeviating and unflinching patriotism , they would support the Northern Lvbcrator , and thereby do the most importantservice to themselves He would now conclnde by giving them the motto that henceforth should be taken by aQ working men , "Equal political rights , or we will pay no taxes ; universal liberty or we will obey no laws .

Mr . Charvton said that it was with no common feelings he rose to second the resolution . The impression on his mind was that die field of Peterloo was intended to be enacted over again , and that were it not f « die firmness and forbearance of die meeting the officers of tyranny would have , at least , attempted to lap the blood of freemen . If die militarr were allowed to surround die peaceful meetings of die people , adieu to liberty . But die men of England had arms as well as die military , and the men of England could be relied oh in die cause of freedom ; but could die military be relied upon by tyranny under which diemselves groaned and suffered still more dian die people r Yes , he repeated it , of all slaves on die face of die earth a soldier was the greatest
slave , and how could it be expected that they would destroy diose diat would bring liberty to themselves as wen as V ; die people . ( Loud cheers , and cries of "die soldiers are our brothers , die officers only are our foes . " ) So near did these officers lead the troops to the people , diat die report had arisen diat they were dispersing it at die point of the bayonet . There was a disposition on the part of the Government to dirow down a challenge to the people , and if they did dirow it down , would not thepeople be ready to take it up ? ( Cheers , and loud cnes of > ' Yes , yes . " ) If this affair were let slip without die proper interference of the Government , he for one would come prepared the next time . To meet legally the petition was , he believed , tiieir only remaining liberty , and it would , he donbted not , be trampled on if it were
not thought a rather awkward job . If the people we : e let alone they would shed no blood ; but if the cannon was to stand between diem and , liberty , away widi dioughts of peace , and welcome the last alternative . ( Loud ' cheere . ) Englishmen who had never yet been defeated in die cause of liberty , would come forward in dieir majesty , and die opposition of a puny Aristocracy , wHedier supported by big guns or penny crackers , would wither bt-fore diem . He would not trespass longer on dieir time , as they , too , had big gnus , as well as die Aristocracy , ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) Hs would attend any meeting that might be held for twenty miles round , and if they were to have bayonets arrayed against them , taey would have bothpikes , muskets , and bayonets arrayed on their side . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . O'Coxsob then presented himself to die meeting , and was greeted widi one long , lond , and hear t-sfirrin g peal of applause . 11 e said , —Freemen unpaid soldiers of Britain ! I do not rise for the purpose of expounding the law upon this question So complicated , so unintelligible were the 1-j . wx , that he kne - > v not whether the military had acted legally or illegally . They were assembled , however , for the purpose of asking the masters of the soldiers whether their proceedings were in accordance « ith the laws of the land , or had violated the law and the constitution ? So complicated were the laws , that they wereable tojuJge only from analogy . They had divided the people into two clashes , the elective and the non-elective ; they direw the shield of protection
over die elective body in all their public deliberations , and it reinainecl to be seen whether they intend to wave the sword of terror overthe deliberations of the non-elective ; and then arose the question of whedier the" paid , and poorly paid mercenaries , of the unpaid freemen should liave the day . ( Loud cheers . ) When he saw that the law was likely to be broken , he volunteered to bring the affair before the House of Common ? , and die necessity for doing so was not in die slightest degree alterf d because no blood had been shed . They were met legally to discuss their grievances , and they were met , too , m overwhelming numbers , notwithstanding military interference was so far anticipated , that die question had been discussed in committee die
night before . It was determined to overawe them , diattheir rightful claims might not be heard on the passing breeze . The men who led their brodiers of die military to insult the people , had their codes to settle points of honour , and the people , too , should have a code to decide upon points of justice . When they came first he was astonished at the proceeding , but he was still more astonished when diey marched back to repeat the insult , and actually divided die meeting into three sections , taking a wing off each side , and leaving the centre in die middle . Supposing one unadvised or intoxicated man , had such been in die meeting , which there was not , snppoie thi * manUdcomm (> iiCftd a ' collision , where would that collision end ? Had the hair of a man ' s
head been unjusUy injured , he vowed that as soon as he reached Newcastle the barracks should be in flames . ( Loud and tremendous cheers . ) This was no idle boast ; it would be the only course that _ would then be left to the people , and it was because he would avoid that course that he came diere to constitutionall y lay diis outrage before die House of Commons . The shopkeepers would see diat in this constitutional movement lay die only protection of their lives and property , and much as that class had been warped by bad men , he still was of opinion that they would not stand quietly to see the people sabred . He agreed widi his friend Ayr diat remonstrance ought to be substituted for petition , but petition was the only
means by whicti tiiey could approach that House , and therefore he adopted it . He expected , and he could expectliitle justice from diat body . M ayhap Lord Melbourne had changed his political opinions since he moved ( as the Hon . Mr . Lamb ) the thanks of the Commons to die human butchers of Manchester . The Caldiorpe-streetmassacre received his sanction , so did the Canterbury massacre , and he imprisoned and sought die death 01 die . wretched survivors of diat tragic affair . ( Loud cheers . ) It was not because he hoped any diingfrom such men } butit was because he would have die people justified in every step they took , that he now came before the Commons . He knew not whether die army was conducted here as it was conducted in Ireland some
litue time back . There , when a great lady found herself is the family way , there was a place immediately bespoke for the embryo general , and to such extent had this been carried , diat Lady Beresford was heard to say to one ofher maids , " take die captain ' s cradle out of the major's room , for the colonel and general want to play at push pin . " ( Loud laughter . ) He knew not whether it TU ike case at die present day , but that as it might , diey would find it . difficult to contrpul the rising > pirit of Ireland , Scotland , and England . ( Loud cheers . ) He conld not bnt allude to theimpudent lies of the venal press of Newcastle , one of diose wretches who had sold his soul to the Tories , had stated die immense assemblage—two miles of a' broad and dense column— at oOO . men , a
number that would not half fill the room , which was now crammed to suffocation . Another , die infamous GcUeshead Observer , which was hung like Mahomet ' tomb , between die people and their oppressors , it looked from its swinging position to make a gues ? , and said diere must be something between a thousand and twenty thousand piesent . ( Laughter . ) There was nodiing like taking sufficient room to a prophecy and to a guess . Well , tliese were die prints diat weuld be taken in by die spirit shops and die be « r houses , and kid before die people , that diey aigb . t suck in falsehood and - political poison with their every draught . He made these observations to show diem the absolute necessity of supporting a liberal and honest press , if they would not have diemselves
entirely atthe mercyof these political jackals . Let diem club together , and buy an honest newspaper ; let diem inquire for an honest journal when diey went to take their glass of ale , and take dieir glass only where they got an honest local paper . Let them who would not do this not call themselves sterling reformers—diis would be substantially forwarding the great cause—it was in the power of every man , and whoever would not do it , would be failing in his first greatest duty . It was for the people to say whether diey were safe in die hands of snch apress and of such a government . ( Loud Cheers . ) If the usual course of the military had lay by the place of meeting , which it did not , delicacy and decency , and die recollection of die Canterbury massacre ,
might have dictated die propriety of taking another course ; but he supposed that they wanted that , no portion of die terror or die tinsel should pass unobserved . He believed , however , diat there was as gallant hearts under a black coat as under a red one ; and certain he was diat , even if the soldier ? fired on -die people , as he stiH was of opinion diey would not , dieywouldgo ashortrbad on themendiatwonld spring npin one bnsding phalanx on both banks of dieTyae . He would tell the Cadiolics around him a fact diat was not generally known—that the 32 nd Reg iment subscribed to die Catholic Association , and Wellington then saw die necessity of at . once granting emancipation : such " a spirit of liberty would , he doubted not , be again manifest in the troops ; and those -who depended upon diem , to butcher their
brothers would find" themselves miserably deceived . jLoud cheers . ) Let the words of Lowry sink deep into their hearts . That , gallant fellow said that it was better to die a lean freeman than live a fat slave .- ( Renewed cheers . ) The same spirit , he wan sure , prearadeddiemen around him ; they were not churlish ; they would link life for those who were coming ^ fterdiem , and proud and holywoold be dieir feelings when handing down bereditarjrliberty to their -children . . Wag it too much at ttal ^ eommsneement sf & new reign that whilst the e&fever * assembled to rejoic * , the people should be allowed to assemble to dwell over u « ir manifold wrongs ? It appeared it was ; but such a circumstance should not take place again , as no public meeting should be held till the shield of the Constitution was thrown o . m fr ejjX f or tiH they would tnke ? p armi aibd

shield themselves . ( Loud cheera . ) It was the right of every freeman to carry arms , aad reason told them when it was proper to use them , and when it would be treason to die Constitution to render obedience to what went byttie name of law ; ( Loud cheers . ) He did not counsel diem to resort to physical force ; he diought that now as a brotherhood had taken place between the trades' unions and die people , tiiere would be no ultimate necessity for it . Poverty , like water , would be sure to find its level ; and though it had commenced wifti die people , it would end with the middle classes . If the shopkeepers could say to die till , " Presto , open , and give me what I wahyt it would be Terr well ; but as the people were die \ t \ oM \ fhemsftlvps . n . nnA /> haora \ tt- ¦ ama * % , * -, «! , f
only support they had , they would soon be found in the ranks of die people . He had ho confidence in die House of Commons . He had shown them what had forced Catholic Emancipation ; now he would tell them diat whatever settlement had been attempted on the Tidie . question , was owing to die rising of the Whiteboys in 1822 . Like the petitioner in Gil Bias , they held the petition in one hand and something to back it in the other . ( Loud cheers . ) Having sat diree years in the House of Commons , he was able to judge , and he told them that no con--fidence could be p laced in either the House of Commons or the prostituted journals of the two factions . But when die trudi was attempted to be put down
> y the organs of faction even in their own ' streets , how could they expect to get consolation from a distance ? It was to put these matters right diat he appeared before diem in company with their friend Mr . Doubleday . of whom he might say as Napoleon said of Murat— " He is a woman in die cabinet , but a lion in the field ; " and if any evil was to be sustained , he was convinced that he ( Mr . D . ) would feel more for the people than for himielf . This constitutional proceeding was the means by which these evils were to be avoided . ( Hear , hear . ) The atrocious interference would create alarm and activity in die minds of all the working men in the kingdom , and instead of breaking . Up their unions
it would nerve their hearts and invigorate dieir arms , and draw closer die ties of brotherhood , between them ; and he would ask them whether it was better for Mr . Doubleday and himself to bring them together to seek for constitutional redress than to allow them to brood over dieir wrongs in secret . ( Hear , hear . ) They had been fold that Courtenay was a madman—diat diere was nothing to be feared from him ; but was that affair to be established as a precedent for the military to enable them to try how tar they could intimidate the people ? The experiment had been tried , and the people of Britain had showed that ^ they would not be overawed . ( Loud cheers . ) When die two factions were struggl ' ng for power , die Whigs got banners with Newcastle on flames , Bristol on fite , and Nottingham in ruins ,
nay , they had standards unfurled blazoning the bloody axe and the king ' s head rolling on the scaffold ; but when the people got tired ofbothfactionsthe military , if not allowed to sabre , were arrayed to intimidate them . Supposing it had been a Whig meeting , if they had only offered a trifling insult , less would hardly do than the transportation of the offenders ; but diey knew that the people might be insulted widi impunity . Whatwas the cause of this ? 11 was because die people were not the law makers . When they wrote to a WhigMemberor a Tory Member diey -would take an hour to consult whether it was their interest to do them justice , but if they intimitated their wrongs to their own representative , the next post would bring the redress . The one faction was worse than the other , inasmuch as to oppression it superadded treachery , —
" Give me the bold , the open foe , I'll ward—perhaps return tbe blow ; But of all the ills thy wrath can send , Good Heaven , protect mefrointhe wilyfriend . " In conclusion , he would say , that no counsel of his had ever led to a breach of the peace , nor had he ever a quarrel upon a political subject : but though strained on the rack , he would frown terror eut of countenance , and die a * he had lived , a true lover of liberty . Mr . O'Connor sat down amidst applause that shook the building to its foundation . The resolution was :
That the unconstitutional , uncalled for , and most injudicious interference of the military force widi the meeting held upon the Town Moor , on Thursday last , theiSdi June , is not only alarming in itself , as indicating the existence of a bad spirit in the breasts of those who direct that lorce , but also alarming in its probable efiects , which are to destroy the confidence of thepeople in their moral force , and to induce diem to resort to the protection and use of arms on public occasions , that therefore this meeting deems this interference a proper subject to be brought , without delay , before the House' Commons , nnd that a petition be accordingly drawn Up , embodying a statement of the whole " of this daring transaction , and sent to T . Wakley , Esq ., M . P ., for presentation . "
The Chairman said , diat before hepnt die resolution , he would mention that a note had been put into his hands , which stated to be the custom of the troops on ttcir -f j * rjfvi \ " o © cn . iioiis to retUTJl "' to the barracks byway of the town . This , if true , was collateral evidence of a pre-determined insult . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried by acclamation . Mr . Geobue Smith moved the second resolution It was consequent upon , and merely for , the purpose of carrying out . the other . He thought diat there could scarcely be a man in the hall but believed with him , that it was die determination of the commander to insult andprovoke the meeting . He
had said on the Aloor , that he should never sign another petition except the one petition of the meeting ; he trusted , however , he would find absolution . for coming another time before the House , but he should ^ never ask it if ever he became their petitioner again . As Mr . O'Connor had said ; , it would prove that working men had done all in their power to obtain their rights in a constitutional manner . Mr . Smith here referred to die solitary seventeen that voted for a repeal of the accursed poor law , and agreed with his friend Ayr , that dieir best plan would be to stop the supplies . The Chairman read die resolution as follows , which was carried unanimously ;—
u That it is necessary for the information of the Heuse of Commons diat a plan of die ground , shewing the position of the Meeting , the site of the Barracks , and die March of the Troops be obtained and sent widi the petition to Mr . Wakley ; and that Mr . Doubleday , as Chairman of die meeting beEmpowered to correspond , if necessary , with the War Office , and with die different parties concerned . " Mr . Chabltox proposed and Air . Ayr seconded a vote of thanks to their tried and trustworthy chairman , which , was passed with loud cheers . ;
The Chairman said , that if , by their great kindness , they returned him thanks twice in one week , he could not find language to suitably acknowledge the honour they had done him . One thing however he would say , namely , let who would desert the cause of die people he never would desert it . Let the struggle end as it might he would be with them to tbe end ' . ( Loud cheers . ) He did not advise others , he did not pretend to point out the course they ought to take , nis doing so would be construed into sedition ; but he would say widi respect to himself , that if such
conduct on die part of the military were allowed—if they were to hold dieir deliberations with armed men keeping watch over them , that he for one , if compelled to deliberate widi arme d meu at his elbow would deliberate widi arms in his hands , and if diis affair were not setded to the satisfaction of the people ; die next meeting he attended he should attend it armed . ( Tremendous cheers . ) Three cheers were dien given for Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., the Nort / iern Liberator , and the Northern Bar , and die meeting broke up .

MEETING AT HUDDERSFIELD . On Thursday evening last , a meeting was convened indie Social Institution Room , Huddersfield , " for die purpose of petitioning parliament to aid and assist Robert Owen , Esq . in the carrying out of his benevolent views in reference to society , and that that gentleman be heard at the bar of the House , in explanation of those views . ' . ' . Mr . John Dickenbon was called to die chair . He briefly stated the object of tine meeti ng , and recommended diem to the consideration of the audience present , because theyif ere benevolent in their design , and consequently important . Mr . Edwin Lunn moved .. die first resolution " That deeply lamenting the suffering and
degradation to which in a greater or less degree all the rudustrious classes have been so long subjected ^ we have felt our / selves imperatively called to assemble together for die purpose of uniting our best exertions to ameliorate dieir condition ; and this meeting is , of opinion diat no substantial ' relief , from die increasing difficulties . ol society , can be looked , for , except through die adoption . of measures calculated to give constant beneficial employment to all who tnaY be in want of it , to ensure them a comfortable livelihood fordieir labour , and to place them' under cir cumstances favourable , to moral arid intellectual improvement , and to a ; good education for their children . " After reading it , he adverted to the present extreme suffering and degradation of the working classes . He enquired into dip cause of this
suttenng , and attributed it to the fact diat die labourer is not sufficiently rewarded for Ms labbur . Their object , he said , was to endeavour to accomplish the -amelioration of mankind generally , and diis was good and benevolent . To accomplish this , a great variety of means had been tried without effect-. Some had recommended a repeal of the Corn Laws , andothersa reduction of taxation ' but this he was persuaded would not answer their ¦ purpose , for itVouM stiU be a feet that the markets woulff be orerrto < ie . dwitti . the produce of labour , and whfle such was the ca 8 e , ^ little amelioration of the condition of die working classes could be looked for .

'' He . sSd that dTnng the ^ last thirty years machinery had advanced a thousand fold , and tnat if the wealth , thus created by machinery had been fairly distributed , " the inhabitants of the country would have been ^^ much better ^ provided for than they were thirty years ago ; because there was imruse in machinery iiiiless it provided the comforts and necessaues of ufe for every human being . But it w * s a fact that in the same mtio as machinery had improved , wages had fellen , ana the hours « f labour had been increased ; and thus by machinery beibff die private property of speculators , our foreign customers had received those benefits from it which pughtto have been enjoyed at home . BTmacWnR ™
being in the bands of afew indmdual 8 , the field of labour had beenrmatBrially circumscribed ; and a middle class aristocracy bad been created * which was farmominjunous to the interests of theworkiri * Classes than any aristocracy that had everexigtetf Frpmaoi analysiaof the population of tbiscountry . it could be proved that outof the 25 , 000 , 000 of inhabit * r ^ ' ° fl e h ?

. How then was it possible diat the working clssses could be any thing but wretched and degraded ; and if so they must perceive at once the necessity for new arrangements by which they could create and distribute wealth in the best manner for die whole population .. -... ' V Mr . Geo , Godd a rd seconded theresoiution . Mr . John Hanson then moved '**¦ That we approve of the system of arrangements for united labour and expenditure recommended by the Association of all classes , and the national community Friendly Society : —That we riot only deem the principles recognised by those societies , to be true and of the highest importance , but we are convinced it is by the adoption of those principles alone , that any real and radical cure of the disorders arid distresses of
society can be accomplished , or that the labouring millions can ever be emancipated from thraldom and misery . The investigations and discussions now so general respecting pauperism and poor laws , attest alike the magnitude of the evil which calls for a remedy , and the ignorance of true principles , and the want of practical knowledge in those who have engrossed public attention on the above subjects , viz ., Pauperism and Poor Laws . He . adverted to the great distinction at present existing in Kociety , and atonce , asit were dividiug the whole community into rich and poor , and this ho observed was a state of things which loudly called for a change . He spoke of machinery as beiiig the cause of the great
disparagement atpresent existing m society and observed tba : tthe New Poor Law was the ruinedy which the government had devised for the working classes . It ; however , an adequate remed y was to be proposed it was that of the pr inciple of " united labour . " There was no rationality in the present system ; and therefore diey must have a community , and as all of them had some idea of what it was from having heard it often explained , there was no use attempting to explain it again . The object of their meeting wus to request government to assist them in forming almodel community , arid he had no doubt , if it was once formed of its ultimate success . Mr . Joshu . i Rhodes seconded the resolution .
Mr . John HuTCHiNsoa .- then moved " That the plans of relief now referred to , demanding the early and serious consideration of the legislature , this meeting , therefore , resolves that a petition to the House of Comriious be adopted , includiHg a request that Robert Owen , Esq ., may be heard at the 13 nr of that House , in explanation of the plan of social amelioration above referred to , arid in favour of ( u grant ) sufficient funds from the Government to carry these plans into execution . " He said that many would conceive their object to be visionary , but they did not wish to do their work in a corner ; they wished the Goverrmie / it and the world to know what they were doing . In the course they were pursuing they wished to give die Government the
opportunity of hiving a share in bettering the condition of the human family , if they would accept ii . This was to be done by a change in the state of snr . VHty . for the prejtent state of society was such ao to prevent even good men from legislating according to the wishes of the people . As to that part of his motion which referred to the hearing of Mr . Owen at the bar of the House of Commons , there could be little doubtof it ; and , if they teard him , they would not be wanting of a plan for ameliorating the condition of the human family * As to the grant * was not certain that with it they would be quite so successful ; but after Government had advanced twenty millions of money to liberate the black slaves .
he thought they might advance a few thousands for the freedom of those white ones at home . If , however , Parliament refused the grant , they must themselves set to worki They could do without the assistance of Parliament , and they should only desire its neutrality . He concluded by passing a high eulogium on the system of Mr . Owen . Mr . Wm . StATi seconded the resolution , after whichit was moved and seconded that a petition be drawn up from the above resolutions , and sent to Mr . Fielden for presentation to die House of Commons , vrith arequest that it be supported by Messrs . Wakley nnd Harvey . This being passed , the meet ing concluded .

HOUSE OF LORDSi— Tuesday , July 3 . The Sugar Duties Bill , the Party Processions ( Ireland ) Bill , and the Freemen's Admission Bill , were severally read a third time and passed . ¦ „ ¦ ..-The Bishop of EXETER again brought under the notice of the House the petition of the Rev . Mr . Stoney , complaining of the conduct of the Coinaiwawfiers of Education in Ireland . After speeches from the Right Rev . Prelate , Lord Flunket , and Lord Roden , the petition was laid upon the table . M . Qrd BLLE . N'BOROUliH , after reading from the Quebec Gazette the letter of ftlr . C . liuller , addressed b y the direction of Lord Durham to the Executive Council of Lower Canada , and in which the Governor-General ' s intention of recomposihg that Council is announced , asked Lord Glenelg , first , whether
this proceeding of Lord Durham was in conformity with his instructions , or whether he had acted without instruction , or contrary to his instructions ; and , secondly , whether her Majesty's Uovernmeut have issued any instructions to Lord Durham respecting the persons who are to form the Special Council ? LordULENELG , in reply , stated that the Governmnnt has given no . instructions to Lord Durham in regard to the iuatUrs referred toby Lord Ellenborough ; that no despatch had been received from Lori Durham explanatory of th « principles upon which he had broceeded in the formation 61 the Council ; and that the Government knew nothing but what the Quebec ISusette has communicated to all the world . Lord BROUGHAM expressed his surprise at this answer , and observed ihat " his Noble Friend ( Lord Glenelg ) was in a state of as happy ignorance in regard to the proceedings ot the Governor-Ueiieral as was : he . ' himself , aud every oihei NoWeLord in the House . "
Lord HIPON observed , that the result of the arrangements of the Governor-General , as stated in the letter which had been read ^ was , that a new Council hud been created upou the very principle ngainst which the people of Can-idi had , for the last twenty years , been contending ^ Lbrd ELLENBOROUGH intimated that he would , at another opportunity , bring the subject again under the notice of the ' House . Lord LONDONDERRY moved fer papers relative to the appointment of magistrates in Ireland . After a discussion , which . ' we have not room to notice , the motion , having been modified on the suggestion of Lord NormANBY , was agreed to . * ¦ ¦ The proceedings of . the evening closed with , a discussion irpoa some petitions , presented by Lord Stanhope , against theiNew PporLawAct , andin the course of ; it the Duke of Richmond made a very c ' uripus , but very characteristic
speech . After speaking of one of the . petitioners , a clergyman of the Churcb . of England , as one of Lord Stanhope * " squad , " this polished Nobleman saii he thought it would have been much more " ftejitlemanly" in a " person" occupying the petitioner ^ : station in society td have made his inquines of the Poor Law Guardians , instead of making them of their relieving ofiiceta . The pnblic will probably « ee less that is Hngentiemanly iji . the clergyman ' s conduct than in the Peer ' s language ; and if there . are tVvo " squads" of gentlemen , will be inclinedj we suspect , to assigh to h ^ Grace—not to the clergynian- ^ a place among the awkwarder squad of the two . The Noble DT » k « iTftad tae clergy generally , who are opposed to the New Poor Law , Act , a grave lecture upon the propriety of using temperate aridModerate language in their oppwdtvoii .
