^ ~ * TATB OF POLXTXCAZi FKHUNG . PUBLIC MEETINGS AT NEWCASTLE . Sunday . —On Sjnday evening , a great meeting nf the Radical Reformers of Newcastle was held in the New Lecture Room , for the purpose of exp essirig their sentiments with reference to trie late illegal conduct of the authorities , in forcibl y dispersing the men of Birmingham , whilst constitutionally assembled in public meeting . At seven o ' clock , Mr . R . Ayke was called to the Chair . The Chairman said , that they had met this evening on a most important occasion , be was not sure tha ? they could keep cool , for it was a warm oveniug , but he trusted they would be as cool as possible on the present occasion— -he knew thty would be ho for therw had ulwajs been order in tbe Radical ranks . ( Chee : s . )
Mr . Ruca 8 T 1 , E then s'ood forward and rea . l a letter received from Mr . J . RiehanWn of the Convention . The letter was listened to with breathless attention , save vthen one or two statements it contained eailfd forth an expression of t ' eelii : g on the port of th > crowd . Mr . O'Biuen then presented himself , and was received with tremendous cbeerc . After a few preliminary observations upon the importance of tht subject they bad inec to consider , he ; irocee >! ed to read from the itun newspaper , an account of the brutal cot duct of the authorities in Birmingham .
Mr . O'Urie . v commented , judiciousl y , on several portions of the document as he procet ded , and when itf rin :-hed reading , the very wal's shook amid the l'Hid expression «» f the people ' s feeling ' . Air . O'ii . then proceeded to address tbe meeting . Th ^ y snw that the Government was deter mired to put down the meetings ' of tho people . Th « i uly rt a ^ on wLicti i ^ riuced the roen of Binning .-. am to n \! et id ihe liuli-iicu wjs , that there wns no other open place in the b jrouj ; b . Hollow ay Head was three-quarters of a mil .-distant , and he need not say , it was too lar lor woiking men to go to rend the newspapers . Why had not the people the Town Hall ? Ir die Corporation of . Birmingham was elected b ; the people at large , like New York , would thev bfi rt-fu » -ed
tbe J own Hall ? Were thoy not a < s well entitled to have the Town Hall as the middle classes ? ( Joed God ! w « s it becauso tho > e clashes boujjbt cheup and sold dear that they should have all rights ? Ho foresaw eeven yearn ago that the middle classes would attempt to shed the blood of thw ptople rather than give them their rights . He had advised tke working classes to form themselves into agiUitiou commuters ' , knowing that the authorities would attempt to suspend trial by jnry . He had advised the people to be nrtned totheteuth to pin down tyiants , who relied r j" nothing but the physical force of hired homicides , / lenjfic cheering . ) If the Government met t !< em by reason they might settle the whole muttor » racoably ; but when they dispersed the people for
meetlug peaceably , it was a mockery to ask the people to meet without they were prepared to defend themselves . \ V hen these minions attacked the people , thev created the riot ; aud if tUero was either law or jus " - ticein England these rtiiliaiis would be in gaol , instead ot the peaceeble people . But there was no law ia England , except for the 700 , 000 living on rents , prolix , and interest , who attempted to govi-rn Errand by physical fcrce . Tnlk not to him oi the 0 , -jeeu , or of the Ministers , or of the H «; um ? of Cominojis—they were hut , tho tools of the 700 , 000 monopolists , whom he denounced as Cirospiratots HL'iiii ] f < t the people . [ Here a middle dft : <« rn ; in msde samp cbs-rvations relative to the j wtt'pii a D . ' iiure of Mr . O'liru-u ' s charge . ] Mr .

" , and the officer * ot' the arm j , they would not be h care unless th ^ y had the anas of freemen to defend tho »« privileges . ( Load airs of hear , hear , hear . ) In 1793 , every man of sixteen had tho right to vote in France , bat whfn the middle classes r . ad murdered St .

be allowed to talk politics in the streets . Nnw the middle classes had more interest in the slavery of the people than had the middle classes of Franc-. He charged them with depriving the people of two kundred million * every yeivr . There were now forty anL-ps where o&t > would do—every shopkeeper Cofild vend forty times aa much goods as he now said . H < 3 could prove to the midiie cla ^ iw that they would ho buttered by the change that was bow approaching only he mnstoccnpy hw tim # by speaking of a more important subject . If the men of England did not provide theniselvea with the arm * of freemen he would at once renounce the movement . Did the middle classea petititon tho paqple for leave to elect a Parliament ? ( No , no . ) Surely it could b ^ no harm , then , to follow their landable example . There wa ^ a motion to ccme before the House of Commons ; it wrs their business to wait till thvy saw that their petition was r jetted , bnthe did not Hlth ^ m to da any thine bat rest en their oar *
. They had no right to assrnna that any Parliament could be so unjust as t » refn » e the rights of the people ; they , therefore , had » right to reaton their oara , and to pnt their trust in Hoi , and keep their powder dry . ( Loud cheer * . ) Ho understood the / e were rrs . > lutiens : he hop ^ d the y wo ^ ld be Worthy of the men of Newcastle , « nd if the local authority s attempted to put aa end te the peaceful meetiu i < , aa they had done in Birmingham , that they « rould hold the Mavistrates deeply responsible for all tho evils that would enane .

( Tremendous cheers . )
Mr .

It appeared that net only wonld tre Uovenunent not allow tbe people to have a vot * bnt it would prevent them from even meeting lo talk of their gn- vane . » . He xio > t heartily seconded ihe resolution .
Mr . DtvYtt moved the second resolution aa fol : lows : — *• That iu case this ( Joveranwnt shall persist in «]> . i « perMng _ the conrtitutional meeting of the people by physical iorce , we , the men ot Newcastle , ¦ utnng our trust in God , and renting upon our n fthts and the confutation , are determined to meet illegal force , by constitutional resistance . " Mr . CotuBiii . v secauded ther . 'Holution : He sail that if the authorities reacted the people , and attempted to put down the constitutional meeting , ' . hen wtre the people botud to resist those authorities bv force .
Mr . James Arn roovedthe tl > ird re « olntion , pledging the meeting to tupport the Coav ^ ntion , ai * d carry out its commands to th « letter . He referred to the advice he had long since given them , to * ell tLeir u garment and bay a Bword . " Mr . CfuuiE seconded the resolution . He briefly urj ^ d the tecetssity of arnuog .

Mr . O'BiiiEN acknjwle ^ ed the kind manner in which they had expressed tUetoselves in relerence to his public caiiduct . Whilst he was up , ho would reiterate his advice to every man to do his duty . H * wished for peace , law , and order ; bat not for that kind oi it -which made ihe country a desert , acd called it peace . ( Loud cheers . ) There must be peace wit ; , justice , or thtre » hall be no peace . The present was the pence of stagnant wateM , wlich Uinted the rod air with pestilence , and before he would have such peaco give bim the hurricane ot lJ . irbadoe . « , . sw ^ ej-iug down all in its terrific cou rt * .

. U'iu . out that she would have no peace . Lwt the people b-j urepared lo put an end to such peace as famished tv . ems .-lvou and gave the proceeds of t ' . eir earnings to nnbaptized ipflians , who did nithiug but prr-y npon their Christian fellow-men . ( Loud cheers . ) IVrhaps the Convention would not be permitte i to coramaad them ; perhaps before that day came the delegates ot the people would be every one arrestad . That circumstance saculH bu the signal for one general strike . ( Loud che r .- « . ) Let every ma . a who was read y to strike , should the Conventiou bo arrested , held np his hand . ( One forest of hands , and re-echoed cheers . ) Let that
strike also be against all parsons , aad hypocrites ol all kinds , who , ecjojing the ri ghts of citizenship , and the jtood things ol tbia life , would deny both to their toiling brothers . If these men wished the people to go to heaven , they must put them in a position to love their eLemies ; bnt how could the people lov . i these enemies who came to tferust a bsyonet down their throats for asking their own ? ( Loud eliters ) If he had time , he could easily prov .-to the Uiiddle classes that their condition ' would be bettered b y Universal Suffrage , bnt he cmld notiiow enter upon the question . Mr . O'Brien ajfain expre . ssed his thanks , and sat down amid lond r . heers .
It was then announced that meetings would be held every evening > n the Forth ; and thanks having ; been voted to the Chairman , tuo meeting broke up . Monday . —Early this morning it became known that Goo . Julian Ilartey had been arreued ia Bedlingloii , and placards were printed and circulated nv-r tho town . The exriteim > nt soon became iatense tnd KeneriU . Nolhiijg was to be seen . blK groups of working men standiug at the ccrners ol the streets , occupied in discussing the asp-ct 01 att ' -iirs . And as the Dragoens , to the nun . ber ot ri'ty-two , were paraded through the principal streets , they were i ^ eeted with loud cheers , both in Giteshead and Newcastle , by crowds of men . We understand that . U . e two pieces of Artillery now in
Newca . slle , were a ' so displayed to view in the trpper pan . of the town . At one o clock the excitement r-as r--doubled b y inteliixence that a courier had arrived from Bt'dlington for-a body of troops to move ou to that ullage . About thirty Dragoons were sent out on this s ^ ry icp , and variou * were the rumours circulated relative to operations in that quarter , which tended to k .- ep excitemrnt at the highest pitch . It was not till the next morning that we h- » d intelligHnc . ' that a large meeting of the inhabitants of this district , to tko number ot many thousand !' , was held on thr gret'M ; present , the thirty Dragoons and two niujrisUates . No attempt was inade to interlere with the meeting , and the p ^ oplorepeatedly cheered the Dragoons . Tho crowd was addressed by Mr . Croiiin and several other speakers , and then dispersed quietly te their respective homes . But to return to Newcastle .
About five o ' clock the Winlaton Band , at the head cf a large procession , marched into town via Scotawood-road , and Collingwood-stree t . Soon aftfr , the Swalwpll Band made its appearance at the head of a vast multitude , and when the two band ? joined they were accompanied by not less than 10 . 000 to 15 , 0 C 0 men ia passing cur cfl ' Ke . They then moved towards the Forth and wen ' joined by thonsaiu ' s on the way , whilst thousands rushed ou to the Moor in hop ? of securing a place ithe
ne ; r hustings . When we entered ike Forth the multitude present exceeded all belief ; and though only a few hours notice had been given , tho numbers exre . dd these collected to elect the D elegates ouChnniruM day . It was contemplated to havte two hu ^ tiugs as there were two immense crowds assembled round the btneers wkich had taken Up their » tnnd in diti . Teiu parts of the griund .
