Yttyby St . Patrick , our national rain t , it does pi braTely on , bre&er liberator , and no small thank * to your honour for the same , for bad you flinched from the " bloody backs" upon the day of our Virgin Queen's Coronation , there was anemd to our movement ; bat your mauliiess , aa chairman , inspired the people with confidence in that strength ¦ whichbacks moral infioence . The battle is being ibngfct in gallant srjle ; it is between the noneWtive influence and elective power , between "brain * and mortar , and while the ten-pounders are knocking their poor brains against the mortar , we are d ^ etrojJDg the fabric of tfceirparttanitrntaxy intellect . Thev have charged us with ignorance as the cause of d ^ -franch « ement , and we have challenged ttura to
the moral combat , but they decline . They claim jre-tmineiice of wealtr , aud we prove title to ninety nine vox of every hundred parts of the wealth of the nation- They p lead expediency , and over that wora then , must the stiong and the weak fight the battle . Tbex tell us to petition , and \ ec they biiid their r iaresia abject bondage to thtir blasted will upon the vtry davs set apart for that constitutional purpose ; and thi ? , thHr last resource , has beenpromp ! j met , by substituting the blazing torch light for tbe Bun ' s ray * . The description of moral iBflueucr R-hichisused jnst nov , is of va » t importance , and the newer it approaches to , and the more of jjli \> ical tendency which it incorporate . * , wiillout the use ol ¦ r ioltnce , the better . Tbe torch * pi aks to those wb < i would close their ears ajiainst reason , \» hile thrii

Monday last , y , a > a wet dav , but the God of nature as il in rnaried approval of his children ' s pro ^ re >> . prepared the night for > -ui-h a di > ylay as has i : evrr yet been witctsst-d in any part of rhe world . Ob , it was a glorious sigtl to see full 50 , 000 wr \\ - armed ineu making a moral use of thtir ^ physif-al power , even when the shade of mght hung over thrfn . Those who witnes . < ed the demon-tration ¦ will not easily forget it . At seven o ' clock the vast prof-e > sioD , with torched , bands , and banntrs , met
Mr . FeaRGUS O'Cokxor at the Railway Staf . on , and accompauied him aDd Messrs . Cobbett and Richardson to tbe Quetn El ; zabeih Hotel ,-. whcrtan open carriage was in attendance . At eight o ' clock the procession was fully marshallc-d , and started with thtir thousand burning lights to the mu » ic of hands , which , however , were soon silenced by the echoing cheer of exult \ tion . -The dense mass extended more than a milt-, and never ¦ were torches better arranged or displayed to greater advantage . As the people passed the Tesidtuce . of friend or foe , they gave striking proofs of the moral power which they possess of discriminating between their friends and their enemies . A frightful veil
leerned to buret spontaneously from the whole body , resembling an earthquake , upon passing the office of the Chronicle , the Tory journal . And , upon the oiher hand , as the procession passed the house of a friend , entering countenances from the illuninated windows gave joyous response to the welcome salute . In going down the bill to Little Bolton , the sight was truly grand—the . whole town appeared to be in a blaze . In passing St . George ' * Church , where the Rev . Liverpool -deina < - gogue , Mr . M ' -Xeil , was preaching political damnation , those who were in the church-yard , as if conycience-stricken , ran to benefit of the clergvman , tod closed tbe church doors ; but the people buiy laughed at their folly , and allowed them quietly to < Dioy the remnant of clerical ftstiviry .
At length , after having paraded the town , thw procession arrived at the Market-place , when " a scene truly sublime , beautiful , novel , and picturesque prece&ted itself . Several rings were made bv parties of torch-bearers , which irom a distance had the appearance of immeBSe circular fires . This part of the exercise being performed , the torchts likely to do damage were placed in a heap and consumed , which ceremony bting over , Messrs . O'Coskok , Cobbktt , and Richardson , accompanied by the Committee , moan ted the hustings .
"We give the following as some of the devices on the flags : — Labour is tbe source of all wealth . "We demand our rights ; we ask no more , and we ' ll take no less than even-handed justice .
BLACK FLAG : — Radicals , the slaughter of our unarmed and peaceable brethren at Peterleo is not yet atoned for . Murder demand * justice .

A very numerous party attended from Leigh , and alia many large parties from other districts , with fcand « sud banner . * ; bnt we could not obtain their inscription * . The square in which the meeting was held is very large , aud upon a fair compntaUun of the nombers pesent , we could not honestly say there were W * than 50 , 000 at the commencement of the meeting .

He explained the course which he had pursued during the last seven years an legislator , as unpaid demagogue , and a * journalist .

occupation , came to demand their verdict a * to the mani . er in which he had fulfilled his duties as Journalist . ( Grt * at cheering , and * 'bravely .

The constitation not only admitted the righ t but msi > ted upon the n ^ c ^ sity of free citiz ns beiiig fivt-ly armed ; aud they only became slaves ^ wh- * n they coa * eJ t « obey tae Ci-nsnmiion .

( Great cheering . ) He could not expect to make any great impression upon the meeting after the speech of Mr .

He would « ow make room for others , and tel : them to hold fa » t to their owu prin - dplf .-, and not to mind the Whigs and tiieir Leicester recruiting sergeant , but to be assured that wijen they were fully prepan-d to have , the Whigs wonld be Inlly prepared to give them their righto .

Mr . Richardson-, of Manchester , next presented himself , aud was i .-udly cheered . He said that Mr .

, He t-iohad been denounced for telling tUe peonC to be prepared ; but again he told the people that uutd they were prepared they had nothing to hope for from either faction ( bear , hear ) . He wasglid to fiud that , notwithstauding every opposition , the people were still np and doing , and were nsolved upon some changp , as no change from their present state could be injurious to them .

Mr . O Coxxon then apologised for the absence of Mr . btepheBS , wLo , he said , was attending a similar . demonstration at Norwich .

The cloth being removed , the Chairman proposed " Thepeople , as the legitimate source of all power , " witn three times three . The second toast was "The Queen , " which the Chairman thus prefaced : —Gentlemen , I give yon " The Queen , " as a compliment to her sex , and not to her station ; lor 1 am one of those who -.-onceive that tho days ol » Jng-craft and Qaeen-craft are fast passing away , and that the people begin to . feel they will be better JHhont them altogether .

respectable chairman seemed to have ^ gradna ^ ed most qoickljr in his course of moral philosophy , to have far outstripped him ( Mr .

( Great cheering . ) Let us then take ft retrospective glance at the circnmRtances which had wrwught tho ^ e rapid changes in the minds of some of the wealthy , a « w « ll as the whole body of the j > oor—( hear , hear ) - — and let ns see if we can justify our position . Si-, I will do it against the whole enemy unitedly .
( Hear , hear . ) Did not the people , even in the instance of Reform , commence moderately , and profess their anxiety for temperate and piecemeal change ? Did they not attack the abuses iu detail in' the first instance , and , failing to accomplish any , the slightest alteration , in a Biugle branch of government ^ or to effect a change in a single abuse , were they not then justified in attacking , with the wholesale force of denunciation , with moral and physical resistance if necessary , th » source from which tho * e abuses spring ? ( Cheers . ) The several national branches of the State Church were attacked , firstly , in detail , and tl > e reiuissiion of a portion of the most glaring clerical abuses were demanded ; but demanded in vain . ( Chews . ) Some few vcars
ago , we heard but of remodelling , but deferred hope and union had strengthened our re ^ ue ^ t tor redress iuto an appeal for abolition , and now we required a total separation of the Church from the State . ( Great cheers . ) The abtifes of the landed ari > tocrncy , and the correction of some of those anomalies which custom sancfioneil arid jaw recognised , were in the Mrst instanre a . s . * uulted , aud their correction humbly petitioned fur ; but the power ot the enfranchised proprietors overcame the voice of an iiwulted and Rtirviug , butUard-worked population ( great cheering ) , aud now a more full t-iiquiryv as to the landlord ' s riphtoJleatiing and otlier reKtrictious . was being questioned .

Corporate abuses , old acts of PailiHineilt . local abuses , and all the excesses of which the - Reform Bill . was to have released ti . e Cou . « iitution , were
mildly charged by moral force ; but the deatuess ot cur rulers had transformed that moral force into a threat—of physical resistance to those grievances , which the U liigs declared they but recjiiired their own machine to correct after their own fashion .

We were then , said Mr . O'Connor , in the situation of an architect , who fondly hoped to serve his purpose
by mending and patching , rather th ; m bv pulling tiown and rebuilding , but who finds that resources » -o expended , is su much labour lost , an i at length determinesupoii pulling down and- rebuilding the edifice anew . ( Immense . cheerinj ; . ) Who then , sir , is to biame ? those who pointed out abu ^ in when in opposition , and confirmed those abuses when in power , or those who conferred tLe powt-jr to Reform , which had been turned iuU > Monopoly ? those who raised the voice of opposition against inju .-tice , or those who are resolved that injustice shall not longer continue ? ( Cheers . ) Sir , J havefhewn you that the people failed iu accoinplUhing axythiug , so long as the will of the momVd order was Hie law and the cou . titutiou , and capable of overawing the law and
the constitution ; and now I have taught the -nation ' that they may pnll down and rebuild ; but they never can redecorate , for the infection and dry-rot of the old fabric , would speedily corrupt -and vitiate , the new portions of the editictt , ^ Cheers . ) Co uld we by the mom dexterous us * of onr moral power , correct one single abuse ? ( No . ) Aud can we uot by a proper diiection of our power , dry up the source from whence impunity springs , and open a iiew fount of justice Irom which shall flow through the several aiterie ^ , the life's reviving blood of a healthy and prosperous commonwealth- ? ( Immense cln-ers . ) Do those who have formed themselves iuto law opposing communities ever reflect upon that which has mile their incorporation necessary ? What

( Cheers . ; 1 ney cannot control the law , but the equality of law wonid protect them iu any scheme or device , which similarity of opinion and union of sentiment may induce them to follow . ( Cheers . ) It is remarkable to tumk of the great store which a faction set upou scientific knowledge , and the absolute ueces-ity for such a requisite not only for legislators , but for
tuose who are to select them , ( Cheers . ) With such a taunr in our teeth , is it not wonderfiil that we should ask for the preservation of those laws which were made by tho .- * who were well qualified to be legislators Without knowing how to > ign their names , while we ask for the abrogation of all tht ) se laws with which scientific men and learned law makers have deformed the statute bonk ?

ADDRESS OF THE WIG AN NORTHERN UNION TO THE WORKING MfcN OF WIGAN , AND THE SURROUNDING ' DISTRICTS . Fellow Men , — -It wa duty incumbent » ri those who endeavour to prolong ex'steuce bv the sweat o ! their brow to be up and doing , and follow the noble exampit ? oi' ]> . ri ^ ^ i Glasgow , Newcastle , South Lancashire , and tha ™^ oc " l in 8 of Yorkshire , and show to the world that the deception ;! O . 1 interested parties which have kept the iudustrious classes from iiine immemorial in a state of bondage , are fast Hitting brtfoie the progressive knowledge of the people ; let us then > eriously consider our position , and beprepared to take advantage of the mighty change which must ere long take place in our social aud political institutions .
It remains with ourselves to prove whether That change shall emancipate us from the thraldom of the mon « j-monsering domination ; or Whether we shall be cheated as heretofore out of the fruits of our exertions ; the result depends solely on ourselves . To expect assistance from any other class has been proved to be useless—a high-minded and honourable rewexcepted . Bitter experience hns taught us that fso far as the working . cla > sfs are concerned ^) VVbigs , Tories , and Sham-Kadicals are theaame in eftect- —that they are niitnes adopted for the purpose of blinding and confusing , the multitude , that the present disjointed and miserable state of society , is rriaiuly caused by the enormous power which capitalists and
inonevraoiigers ot nil grades and opinions , whether in religion or politica , possess ov « r labour , that , however they may seem to differ in any of the abovementioned point * they are united in .. that--of .. ' . extracting from the working-classes , the largest possible amount of , labour for the smallest acknowledg . ment that is / capable of keeping body and soul together , and that-those individuals form , in fact , an enormous Union , firmly united , by having one common interest , ( that of pluhdering labour ^ from RothscliiSd down to the most paltry retailer jhaviiig a body of men , ch"si . 'n from among themselves , called a House of Commons ^ constantly attending to their interests , which might with . more propriety be termed the U nited Profitraongers' Committee . Let Universal Sufirafie vAunual Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , Wages for Members of Parliament , and Na Property Qualification be yonr watchword . Fellow Waves , —When the most ardent breathings
of liberty pervade the breasts of millions from one extremity of the empire to the other , when the standard of freedom is unfurled and patriots are rushing in crowds to defend it from- the attacks of tyranny and oppression , let us assist- ' teilow countrymen to work out their regeneration , b y bursting asunder the degrading chains with which tyrants nave so long bound them ; Long ^ had w « groaued beneath the intolerant tyranny of a 1 ory faction when the false promises of the -Whigs induced us to rest onr hopes of future justice m them . How these have been disappointed Britain painfully regrets , and Ireland has equal cause for lamentation and indignation , when she saw that their first measure , after being firmly seated in power , was a bill for her coercion . But after a long and dark night of oppression , freedom dawns in the political horizon , and ere long we trust tu worship its meridian blaze .
Arise then , fellow-wor ^ men , and prove by your union—your determination ; and perseverance in the attainment of the above objects , that although compelled by a bad state of society to be slaves in body , that you possess tttemindB defermiued to be free . HfeNRY BERTUSTLE , Chairman .

¦ w i LATEST INTELLIGENCE . EXCESSIVE BAIL . ( Abridged from the Shrewsbury Chronicle . ) Much excitement has prevailed among the working classes in Newtown , Motignmer } shire , in consequence of a weaver of the name of John Williams having been committed to Montgomery gaol for twelve month ? , for insulting a policeman . Many inhabitants in Newtown , however , deemed this a . severe stretch of Magisterial authority , and , " therefore , a letter was addressed to Lord Viscount Clive
Lord Lieutenant of the County , by Mr . J . "Williams stating the circumstances . Lord Clive immediately replied , with his usual courtesy , to this letter , buthe could not interfere . He ppoke , indeed , to the Rev . Mr . Evors , who could uot reverse his decree , because he lelt it of importance " that threats of violence against officers in tbe administration of justice should be repressed . " Mr . Williams subsequently submitted the matter to Lord Joha Russell , in whose hands it now rests .

TION . ( From the Glasgmo Chronicle . ) A public meeting of tbe -Radical * of Perthshire was held on the North Inch , on Friday last for tne Purpose ' ofadopting the National Petition and the People ' s Charter , and for electing a delegate to the National Convention . Deputations were in attendance from Errol , Scone , Dunning , Auchterarder , Blairgovvrie , Alyth , Dundee , and other places . The different bodies composing the procession rnet on the South Inch at one o ' clock , and about two o ' clock marched to the North Inch , where the hustings were erected , in the ' following order , with banners , bearing appropropriate mottoes : —
The Council and D' -legates ; Errol Delegates ; Dunning Delegates ; Scone Delegates ; Auehter-¦ tirder Delegates ; Pomarium District , accompanied by the Tulloch Radicals ; Dunkeld ; Alyth bahd &c—Four banners . —Mottoes— "We detest all compromise with the Tories . " "The irresistible force of public opinion . "
u Tories have enslavea us ' -WhigH have deceived us ; Both have bereaved us Of our just rights . " Female flag ; Wrights ; Blairgowrie bands and banners , At the time when the attendance was most numerous , there could not have been less than from nine to ten thousand present , and one spirit seemed to animate the whole . In front of the hustings two loaves were exhibited on a pole , each 9 d . in price ; the one , however , much larger , and marked ac- ? eordingly as the " Free Trade Loaf , " whilst its diminutive neighbour was designated " The Monopoly Loaf . " The meeting went off well .
RiETTJRN OF THE STEAMER , LlTERPOOL . — This magnificent Steamer having had . unfavourable weather during the whole time she baa been at Sea , found her stock of fuel reduced to . 150 tons bythe time she had accomplished one third of her voyage .
