Thole pe * P *« of . the three kingdoms to join in a hdy ana irresistible crusade against oppression and udffale . ( Loud cheers . ) He « hould not now trespass further "Bpon their finw- He-Khonld leave Stasis tie hands of Qios * men with whose every proceeding he was fbfly Ba&fied . He had watched Ifeem , with . patience both , in the field and in the coandl , and in all they had done they had his entire acquiescence . He though t enough had already been said to assure the whole of the country that instead of twenty roch meetings as that , there would be forty or fifty : the brave Radicals of every town . would assemble , and pitting -on their banners , "Labour flye only property , " and being boua ^ aa . it if ere , in a ^ a&onal confederacy , their motto sSould ?> e , " No jnrrender . " ( TremeB&ras cheers . ) -
44 ¦ with your green Etandard rearing , Go flesh every sword to the hilt ; On our side is virtue and Erin , On yours is the parson and guilt . " Universal Suffrage , then , was tie only remedy for all Qieir grievances . It was not intended to make an attack upon , the Exchequer of the cbrmtry ; it vas not that the Radicals should apportion its contents among themselves , for if they -went to it they -would probably find nothing in it but a few Exchequer BflU ; but it was to take care in future that the rang generation should look to a better security for tkejnnoney than in , tie blood of their fellow-countrymen . ( Cheers . ) After adverting to some minor questions , -which Mr . O'Connor showed to have sown fiisention amongst the people , he concluded in the following words : — " A way , then , with those crotchets that have so long distracted us , and let us have a long pull , and a strong pull , and a pull
altogether , until we nave pulled down the citadel of corruption , and entered the temple of tbe constitution , purified , as it ought to be , for our reception . ( Loud cheers . ) Then we shall have the three states of the empire working harmoniously together , the people and the aristocracy reciprocally depending upon each other for comfort and advice , inrays recognising the light of property inife fullest saiae to be in the labour of the working classes . ( Lond cheers . ) I have gone much further than I intended , but I could not refrain from addressing you at this length , —the meeting and the scene are altogether so delightful . "Wlen I return to my constituents , ! will cause them to redouble their energies and persererance in this glorious cause , mtal they have accomplished all that freemen are entitled to , or mat justice demands . ( Cheers . ) And though it might be the contrary : as for myself , if stretchedon the rack , I would smile terror ont of countenance , and die as I have lived , a pure lover of liberty and mv country . ( Tremendous cheers . )
The resolution was then agreed to , amidst loud acclamations . Bexbt Sassfm , a working to an , then proposed tie following resolution : —
" That the industrious classes of the united kingdom generally Be earnestly requested to imitate the noble exsmple of their countrymen in Scotland and the North of England , and to hold meetings fonh-TCh in every town or district , for the purpose of obcining signatures to the national petition , and of appointing delegates to proceed to London . " 0 a Wednesday last , he had attended in the Town HiQ to celebrate the emancipation of the blacks in Jamaica ; to-day he had met on a more glorious Kcaaon , to ¦ work out the emancipation of the whites iStane . " ( Cheers . ) He had no hesitation in saying t&fiitheman who was contented to If ve muter bad
and oppressive laws , -was a robber to hlsTnfe , and family , a traitor to his Sovereign , and an enemy to Ins Cod . ( Cheers . ) He remembered some tune ago being one of a deputation that waited on Lord Melbourne , endeavouring to impress on his mind the necessity of making some . ¦ change in the monetary system , and that Lord Melbourne on that occaaon remarked , " Remember Birmingham is not all England . " Xcw ,-thenatienalpetitiDnhad emanated from Birmingham , and was finding it 3 way into ejerj town end village of the empire , and hetHought that in the ensuing session of Parliament they d » oH be able to show Lord Melbourne that Birmingham is all England . { Immense cheering . )
P ^ v Waxsqs , another workingman , seconded ths resolution . It was not because he expected the ¦ wffkmgmen would be fed , clothed , and lodged by rjanwsil SuaTagebeing established that he advocated that measure ; but because he believed that better teurs would be made that would ensure constaatmployment and better wages . It was , after aUjba & bread and cheese question .- Taking the waling men in the aggregate they were half starved . He working classes were upbraided wita / tJieir want of education . While , therefore , others were ennobling ihemsehes witii crowns and baubles , the « e « to eooibie themselves by the acquirement of political knowledge , and show to others that they
were deserving of enjoying political rights . ( Cheers . ) The resohgon was carried by a forest of hands , vox presented anovel sight . Mr . George EnMosDs proposed the next resolution . He observed that they were again embarking in aather moral campaign . Were they satisfied * i& ieir old eeaeral , Thomas Attwood ? ( Yes , ya , ad cheers . ) " And wonld they have the Political Ulna sitting as a council of war in Birmingham ? ( Yes ^ es , and cheers . ) Had they confidence in the aSBais of the unrepresented , and of the honest of eraj class whe were to fight this battle till corn ^ ttai imd oppression were driven from tie land . Ua , j 6 s , yes . ) . What was their object ? They THefctermined to have their rights . ( Cries of " we

Edmonds ) would oppoe—where he might be himself called upon to tnrj i musket against the oppressors of bis country . OH Cfbbett told them that alt their evils were re-• wsKe into a money question . That was per-« % true . The wrongs of Englishmen were not itere Hndful notions about liberty . It was because j « J * sre robbed and plundered of the fruits of their *» 6 rthattheycomptained . Twenty-eight miHionfi * sk taken out of tneir pockets every year to pay ^ interest of the national debt . Talk not then to * ai of abertv—it was robbery . ( Cheers and cries of

'' That fliis meetincfo / dially approves the people * charter , as an outlin ? of an act to provide for the just representation of the people of the United Kingdom in the Commons' House of Parliament , agreer ably to tie principles set forth in the national petition , " , ui- _ . ~ - Mr . Colltks seconded $ & ¦ resolution . He had heard a great deal about the inisdeeds of both Whigs and Tones ,. _ This was ho new ihing to them . They know ifwell before . They saw the consequences of it day after day in the countenances of their ialffed children , and &ey heard it in the echoed sighs of their wives when , they looked at the small pittance hi food th « y iad to distribute among the objects of their dearest affections . This is no chDdrs play ( said fee speaker ) we are enraged ia . Tiis « no ur ^ ^ anaa ^ ^ , ^ ^^^ ^ ^^
subject to be trifled with . It involves nothing less than &e best : and dearest temporal interests of tie whole inhabitants of Englana , Ireland , and Scotland , and , aa a necessary consequence , muBt produce a tremendous effect upon the destinies of Europe . I therefore say again this is no child ' s play we are ' eBgaged in . To retract , to retreat , is , in myppinkm ^ at tie present time , abBolutely imposnble , excep _ t we wish to get ourselves covered wifli everhatmg infamy . But now can we despair of obtainhigf the support of the people throughout the land , when it is the interests of the people that we are adrocatzng ? There is no possible doubt of our success ^ if we only stick trne to our own order ( Loadj eheen . ) He felt confident that if in the
attempt to carry out this measure the . virtue of the peoplejjhonld fail , there would be an immediate effort made to victimise your delegates . It is , therefore , your imperative duty to stand by them . ( Cries of We -wflff 7 I dolrt ^ believe you will deaertihem-:. if'I had thought so I ^ would not have taken any part in this movement . But being engaged to ( bnn one" of tie delegation , if I were now morally ^^^^ in . tiat I should become a victim 1 wonld : ^ , rink . from the discharge of my duty , even tl . jg ,, - you should from yours . ( Loud crie ^ of no fear . ) If yon do shrink from them you ongifc to be made the worst of slaves and tie most miserable wretches on the face of tie earth . ( Cries of we BererwflL"V I believe ; yon . ( Cheers . ) [ Mr ; Alexander Purdie , the deputy . from Glasgow w ^ tben
introflnced to ~« te « tteebng , and was received with cheers . ] . Their ftiend Air . Collins had told them that if they deserted their post they would deserve to be harshly treated . He could assure them that they wonld be harshlv treated . Their friends and delegates would , no doubt , be sacrificed ; butthev , too , would be unable to escape . ( Cheers . ) If aregeneration of tbe people was to be produced at all , it must be by tie exercise of their own virtue * . It was from the people that virtue must be brought to bear upon the infamy of the wealthy aad the tyrannous exactions of the great . This -was no new truth . \ 11 history in all ages had told them the tale . The < reat founder of Christianity was not sent to occupy the house of a nobleman . Tbe house of the carpenter' *
S , placed in the recesses of virtue , there to shed , abroad his benign radiance over the whole face of the habitable globe . Tell was not a nobleman \\ aJiace was not of noble blood , . Washington was not a nobleman ; and many instances in the history oi their own country told him tiat the men -wko wrought out some great and noble work when virtue was to be exaked , were always from the ranks of the people , or those immediately above them . If , therefore , they wjsbed to obtain the Russian loaf for 9 d .. or the one pound of beef which might be had at Hamburgh for 2 § d ., tbey must act upon tie principle ofmakmg a present sacrifice for a future good . ( Cheers . ) He would stronglv ur ? e them to enter
into a ioly bond of alliance with one another . The inhabitants of Scotland -were rushing forward in the canse witi an enthusiasm altogether unexampled . Whigs and Tories were standine aghast . ( Cheers . ) After expressing his thanks , kfiis own name and in the name of his eonntrymen , for the honour the Birmingham men had done them for inviting them to join m the national petition , and for giving such a glorious display of their own energy and determinat ion , concinded by expressing histervent hope that tie people of both countries might stand together as friend to friend , and brother to brother , and then might they boldly set at defiance all tyrannical oppression . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . Wiluam Bloxlaxd moved , and Mr . Horatio Cutler seconded the 5 ti resolution , -viz .: " Tiat the delegates nominated by this meeting be iereby authorised to call together the general convention of the indnstrioui : classes in London on any _ day which they may deem expedient before or dunng the next session of Parliament . " Mr . Purdie , of Glasgow , appeared in support of the resolution . He said he could not do better than begin where Collins had left off . He ( Collins ) had said that if the people of Birmingham deserted their post , they would not only deserve to be harshly treated , but they -would be so . Their friends rnjgh ' t be sacrificed , but they would lose by the sacrifice . In ancient times , when bis countrymen crossed the
borders of England , they were aided by tie bold Campbells and Donglasses , hxxt t&e object they had in . wwwasto carry off oxen from the nei ^ nbonring states . ' But wiere were those men now when the interests of a generation of people were at stake ? If tie regeneration of the people was to be produced at all , it must be done from tbe ranks of tbe people themselves . This was no new doctrine which was to be ascribed to any new theoretic view ¦ all ages and countries iad toldu 3 tie tale . Every instance of onr own country ' s history told us that the man who bad done great things had rLen from the ranks of the working classes . If ever , therefore , they wished to be free , tbey " must obtain their
freedonviy their own present sacrifices for tbe future good . It was in vain for tiem to depend upon the wealthy and the great ; the y must rely upon themselves andmutuallyupon each other . He would , therefore , recommend them to cherish feelings of kindness towards each otier , and to say , as they were tins-united , " we will , we siall be free . " ( Cheers . ) And no man could say tiey should not be free tiat moment they resolved to be so . After recommending them to be constant in providing funds for the obtaining of their own rights , ie said that the men in Scotland weie doing tneir duty , and in tie name of his country he thanked the men of Birmingham for th /» manner in wiici they iad done their * . ( Cheers . )
Mr . T . C . Salt moved , and Mr . Hexuy "Ashbubx seconded the next resolution , which was supported by Mr . Vixcext , from London . He said that npon no occasion during bis short political career , bad he ever felt the gratification which ie tien did at seem ? assembled together so many thousand intelligent beings met for the purpose of proclaiming to the Aristocracy of England that the hour was come when they must surrender their exclusive privileges , and yield tie sole dominion to the sovereign power of the people . Tiey were met there in pursuit of one of the noblest of causes , —to establisi a government that should seek to promote the great work of inman happiness . _ ( Hear , hear . ) They were not met to advocate brick and mortar suffrage . They were not met to confer about the settlement of the tithe question , or for talking about "jnstice to
Ireland , which meant injustice to tie great mass of the Irish people . They were met to proclaim that England should be yet a democracy representing the best interests and best feeaags of tie country . [ Cheers . ] Wiat were their objects ? They were firing in a country consisting of twenty-six millions of human beings , -who were living under a government and constitution wiici we were told was kV tie envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world . " Now he wished toiave this constitution in full effect amongst tie people . If they were to have the ' Lords and the Crown in tie full possession of their hereditary privileges , he demanded tiat tie people also , who ought to be above tie Lords and tie Crown , who constitute all tie real weati of the
country , siould be fairly and equally represented in the House of Commons . [ Cheers . ] But it was said they were a ret of impracticables ;—that they iad not sufficient intelligence . Let them look to the present House of Commons . He appealed to Mr . Attwood if he ever saw such a set of intelligent men as those who now constitute that branch of tie government [ LaugiterJ If they were to judge of the constituents by the members wbat sorry constituente they miifit be . ( Cheers . ) A resolution would be moved in favour of a proposed measure called the' -Peoples * Charter , " and they wanted to see if those intelligent M . P . 's would put tieir names down in support of such a measure . He would give them , a specimen of Parliamentary
intelligence . He once called upon a Mr . Potter , M . P . for Wigan , and asked him if ie would support "Tie People ' s Charter" in the House of Commons . He looked exceedingly queer at him ( Mr . Vincent ) and askecLhim what it was . He replied tiat one of its froviBions was to put tie people in possession of Jnrrersal Suffrage . « Oh , " said he , " I refer you to my secretary / ' " Wiatis it" enquired the secretary . . «* Universal Suffrage" answered Mr . Vincent . 4 i Oh no" said he turning to Mr . Potter , " you don't go for Universal Suffrage . " ( Laughter . ) " Will job , then , snpport Annual Parliaments" enquired Mn Vincent . u Oh no , " saidthe secretary , "Mr . Potter cannot vote for Annual Paiiiaments , it would put the nation to far too much trouble and expense . But . Mr . Potter will go with you for tie Ballot , which will be a very good measure . " They told him , however , that they were not to be humbntre-pd
with the Ballot unless they iad Universal Suffrage . ( CieersO Mr * , Vincent in a long , and excellent speeciproceeded to descant upon the general conduct oTthe Whigs , as already done by the preceding speakers , and assured them that they would never iavjft * foil and free administration of justice until they obtained . Unrrersal Suffrage , ( Cheers . ) He concluded by ¦; recommending them to unite their energies for the accomplishment of this great object , and" assured them that though they might find devoted men amongst them , Aerewas none-that was more ready to sacrifice everyiiing—even life itselffor the great principles which they had met that day to advocate .

THE PARROT , A DOMESTIC ANECDOTE .
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL , ESQ . The deep affections of the breast , That Heaven to living things imparts Are not exclusivel y possess'd By human hearts . A ¦ parrot from the Spanish 1 \ Iain , rull yonng Rnd earlv caged , came o ' er "With -bri ght wingB to the bleak domain OiilulJa ' s shore . ¦ Tk f . "P icy groves where he had won Hw plumage of resplendent hue , Hi » native fruits , aad skies , and sun , He bade
adieu!—For theae he changed—the smoke of turf—A heathery land and iaisty sk y , And turn'd on rocks and raging surf His golden eye . But , petted in our climate cold , He lived and chatter d many a day ; Until with age , from green and gold , His wings grew grey . At last , -when blind and seeming dumb-He scolded , laughed , and spoke no more ; A Spanish stranger chanred to come To Mulla ' 8 shore . He haii'd the bird ia Spanish . speech ; The bird in Spanish speech replied ; Flapp'd round his cage -with joyous screech , Dropp'd down and died . *

EDINBURGH MONTHLY DEMOCRATIC AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY No . 2 . ' This is a publication whose appearance we hail with sincere delight . It abounds with most refreshing detail * of the progress of sound Radical Democratic principles through all the villages of Scotland . It combines the advocacy of democracy , with the enforcement of the prioiples of total abstinence . This is a new feature which may conduce much to the progress of liberty . When men are slaves to vice and drunkenness , they will be equally slaves to employers and governments .

Besides this article , which forms the principal feature in the magazine , there are others of considerable merit , particularly an examination of Sismondi ' s Studies of Free Constitutions ; " an able article , on the improvement of " Mechanics' Institutions ; » and " Howitt ' s Colonization and Christianity .

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND HUMORIST . Edited by Theodore Hook Esq . No . 212 . August , 183 S . The first two articles in this Magazine , " Wine and Water , " by the editor , and "An ill-treated Gentleman , " anonymous , are admirable essays , on tbe two of the most ugly blotches in the frame-work of society as it is . The first of them illustrates that absurd and unnatural conseqiience of psaudu civilization , by which the fairest portion of creation is holden in hopeless bondage , the unpitied slave of an etiquette , which outrages nature and compels the sacrificeof the noblest affections of the heart ; entailing ininnumerable instances upon its wretched
victim a long life of unalloyed misery , by depriving her of all participation in the selection of him on whose reciprocated affection , the whole happiness of her after life depends . Nothing can be more unjust and cruel than . are the laws of society on this subject towards the female sex . While man is expected to look leisurely about him , and to consult his welfare b y seeking-the acquaintance of many females , and selecting whomsoever he may choose , woman " must have no choice , or if she have , she must not admit it . She is taught from her childhood the necessity of concealing her real feelings ; and thus Hypockisy forms the . main ingredient of female MORAL education . "
The other paper " An ill-treated Gentleman , " is a clever and humorous satire on the monstrosities of the law of primogeniture and the mischiefs continually resulting therefrom . Fictitious events and circumstances judiciously strung together and happily described , Telieve these pieces from the ' heaviness , which might be objected to an essay , while , in each case every sentence places the moral of the story more prominently before the mind . " Shakspeare's Historical Plays , considered historicall y , " by the Right Hon . T . P . Courtenay , evinces much reading in early history ; and is frau ght with a sound criticism . There are several other useful and amusing papers .

FRASER'S MAGAZINE , No . 104 , August , 1838 . The first article in Fraser this month , "The Birds of Aristophane . ? , " is a very elaborate and interesting criticism on one of the most beautiful portions of Greek literature . ' < Ensign O'Donoghue ' s Packet from Belgium " is exceedingly amusing . Tbe characters previously introduced to the reader are well sustained , and a number of scenes and incidents described by each in excellent keeping with their respective styles . " Our Club at Paris " abates not one jot of its well preserved stupidity . " A Tale of the Heptarchy" is a thrilling story of the olden time .
" Tref-son within tbe Church " is a well written and well reasoned article . "The Yellow Plush Correspondence" is conclnde'l in this number ,-and in his expiring effort Mr . Yellowplnsh labours hard to be severe upon Mr . E . L . Bulwerand Dr .. larcber . Falling to preserve consistency in the peculiarities of diction attributed to these gentlemen , he destroys any little merit which , as a satire , the attempt might otherwise have had .
" Little men and little measures" is a political biography of Lord Palmerston , which we suppose would cause any other man a few awkward sensations , but which will oaly excite a smile on the imperturbably goodnatured visage of the noble secretary . There are some other ' articles to which we have paid little attention *

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , August 6 . The weather has been unsettled since this day se ' nnight , with some heavy rain during the past night , but the temperature is much warmer . There was a fair supply of Wheat from Essex , but a limited quantity from Suffolk , whilst from Kent the show was to a very trifling extent indeed , and only a few samples of all spring corn lrom these counties ; the fresh arrivals of Oat 8 consist of three or four cargoes in since Friday from Ireland and our own coast . There was a brisk demand for Wheat , at an advance of full 3 s per qr on the p rices of this day se ' nnight , and a fair b \ isines 3 was transacted in bonded at an improvement of 4 s to 5 s per qr on last Monday's currency . The price of town-made Flour being put up to 65 s hv the
millers at a very Jate hour on this day week ; that advance is now firmly fixed and established , and good marks ex-ship were Is to 2 s per qr dearer in consequence . Barley was very scarce , and fully Is per qr higher . Malt was quite as dear . Beans and Peas were about Is per qr dearer , with a moderate fair sale . Fine Canary seed was in demand , at an advance of 69 per qr , the best commanding 70 s . There was rather a better demand for Oats , and all heavy as well as fresh Corn " must be quoted Is per qr higher . Nothing worthy of uotice passing m Linseed . There were seven or eight Bamples of new Rapeseed at market this morning from Essex and Kent , that from the . former county of better qualit y in every respect than the Kentish , and all held at such hi gh prices that the crushers are yet unable to commence-their purchases . Carrawayseed in small supply and not pressed for sale at the quotations . ' '

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS , ( MONDAY ) Since this day fe ' nnight the arrivals of slaughtered mea >^ from all quarters have been , for the season of the year tolerably good . The supply of London killed meat being largethe trade has been , during the whole of the past week , in a very sluggish state , and , in most transactions , a dechne of fully 2 d per 8 lbs has been submitted to , in order to effect sales . From Scotland we have received 29 live Scots , ] 00 Sheep , and .. 45 Lambs from Ireland , by steamers , and 60 large hogs . Notwithstanding the comparative low prices which have been obtained during the greatest part of the present year preparations are being made on an extensive scaleto ship from various parts ef Scotland to these markets large supplies of slaughtered meat in tke ensuing winter ; therefore , it may be , we conceive , safely inferred , that the prices will not be much , higter than they are at present .
