« 3 WBaaxi oojiviisrrxojT . Tuesday , July 18 . Mr . Mealing , the delegate for Bath , was in the Chair . The principal question of debite wag whether or not the Conveation should call upun th » working classes , throughout England and Scotland , to cease simultaneously from labour for one month , in order that the middle and aristoorati' ! classes should be ohlijr-d to complv with their demands .
Mr . Fletcher dil not object to the prsp ^ sition , but he thought the people would strike at the call of thy Convention only in the counties of Westmoreland , Cumberland , York , and Lancaster ; and then how were those who had not money saved to live daring the stiike ? Mr . Buuv th ) ugbtthe men might eave or g « t credit for a fortnight . He would assemble the workmen at a given hour every mo-t . ing , and march them through the streets , and then the middle classes would supply them either through lev * or
fear , he cared not which . It was a fact that unanimity towirds Chartism could onlv be found in the worst-paid ranks . The men whd earned 30 s . a week eared nuthint : for those who earned but . 15-i ., andrhtt latter cared an little for the men who worked for 5 s . or 6 « . a week , There wus an aristocracy of the working classes as well as of the gantry and nobility . The affair at Birmingham proved that the pople wer « not yet duly organised aud guided . He moved that ihe question of a Sacred Month be referred to s committee .
Mr . OsBORNE . from Brighton , advised rhem to begin tbe eacred month to-morroiv ; for the nooner they began the more chance had they of nucce ** . After the state of things at Birmingham and Newcastle , to recede would be to ensure their defeat , and to pr ^ cra-tinate would be only to enable their enemies to overpower them in detail . Let them rise all at oaee , W thu-y would not succeed . He assured Mr . Fletcher and Mr . Bury that the feeliny in favour of ChartiBra much
was , more extensive and uni orra than what they thought . A » for supplies , he could assure them that iOJ ^ Q fellows met together without a br * . \ kfast would not endure a long fast ( Cheers . ) He knew that the cessation from labour would be-rte first step toward a revolution , but tha , t result would not deJer him . They had been coming to the point long enoogh ! Let the Delegates now separate , and return to their constituencies , and orjzaaisfc them iht « . a general cessation from w « rk .
Mr . RrcHAiiDSO !* firmly opposed th * project : iltogether . The . fact was , the people had had " several sacred mnuths" at a time already . The manufacturers would now regard it as a God-send if their people should propoge to cease from work

( From oxrown Corretpondcnt . ) fg > IoNDAY Night , Half-past Ten . —The authorities here seeoi determined to push madnes > to its verge , and cry the fearful "fall . " Thu ereiing the people h-wing determined that the right o < meeting in the B-jll-rin / should not Ue abrogated , were beginning again to awetttble in crowds , offering r however , no obatructioo- to- bosimss or t j passenger * . Shortly after eight o ' clock the police were called out in order to clear the nag . This had been expected ,, and resistance was offered accordingly . The combat was continued for mor * thin
half-anhoar , witb great violence on butb aides , during which naaay penmen were wo * nded , and some severely . Abouc nine o ' clock , a cry arose of " Pu ' out the gas , put out the gas I" A severe struggle ensued thereon ; amidst which two house * were se : tire to ; but whether by the infuriated populace , wb . 9 * e feelings had been goaded beyond the power of further forbearance , or by the rascally myrmidons of cowardly authority , in the hope of fixing the odium thereof upon th ? people as a cloak for their own proceedings , it is of course impossible to say . All that I am able to affirm positively off tae subject is the fact , which I regret exceedingly , that two shops , a grocer's and an upboUterer ' s , are at
thia raom * nt in flames . The infuriated people held pos- 'ei'sion of the ring despite of the police , until the arrival , gome forty minutes ago , of the drageoas under Col . Chatterton , followed by a detachment ot rifles , who with some dilnujlty oleared the streets . Several persons have bsen taken into custody . The snginei are now playing upon the burning property , butitia feared the tire will be productive of gr « at mischief . The roof of Mr . Le ^ gact ' s house has fallen in , and the flames are racing at the back of Messrs . Bourne ' s premises up Moor-street , in aroest frightful m inner . The streets are cow comparatively quiet , or quieteaiug ; but we shall certainly have another outbreak before morning . Is thin the beginning of the end , or what is the end to be ?
Toesday Morning , Eight o'clock . I have this morning walked round the scene of riot and destruc ion , which certainly affords most instructive evidence of the folly as well a « the wickedness , of gotiding a quiet and a forbearing people to recklessness . Of the public olS . ce the front windows are perfectly demolighed , wsarcely a pane of glasH being left . The iron railings round the Ne son Momuroent have been torn up , and seem to have : been usad as weapons hy the multitude . The large lainos and windows in the Bull King and the High-street have been all demolished . The Nelson Hotel aad the houses of Mr . Martin , jeweller , Mr . Banks , chemist , Mr . Horton , silversmith , and ten or twelve others in High-street , are perfect wrecks . Those of Mr . Bourne , and Mr .
Leggetr , mentioned in my last nij- 'ht's communication are in like condition . Mr . Bourne ' s premises have large fronts both ia High-street , and Moorstreet , of which nothing hut the walls are standing . Of the lo ? s of property of course it is impossible to offer any estimate , but it must have beeu imrneune . The strangest 'hint ? is that in so furious a combat so few lives should have been lost . There are various reports , but I imagine that not more than one o ' two are Je . iJ , though many are savagely wounded , and probably more deaths may ensue . The streethave be : ? n crowded during the whole morning , the police and rifles being on duty ; but no further skirmish has taken place . The troop * are now out again parading the : ^ Mtieets , and the people are gradually retiring . t
ANOTUEH ACCOUNT . Birmingham , Tuesday , July 16 . The deep-sea ' ed spirit of retribution has been exbibitei : last Jjight . The working men iact at HolluvijsjfeBbwavsbout seven o'clock , and proceeded in pro ' ewsroh towards the Coventry Road , to meet Messrs . Lovett and Colsias . On their way through the Bull Ring , they groaned the police , who were in the Public Office , with barred gate ? , but on the procession reaching Camp Hill , they were overtaken by a messenger , w 4 ib soon brought them back . The fact was , thu cowardly police dared not attack lh « people in numbers , but when tbe streets were tolerably clear , th « y rushed out anil commenced another ferutal mtack ou the pass ^ jigers . However , on the arrival of the people from Camp Hill , they
soon vanished , and concealed . themselves in the pnsos . Immediately on the . people-seeing the wounded penwW ~ tn the streets , * nd «» 4-wirh revenge , commenced au attack on the houses of several of their opponents in the Bull Ris £ . Thty burned several to the ground , and meeting some of the Magistrates , who were g * fng for the military , they gave tbt in what Mr . Douglas call ? " a sound drubbing ; " but on the arrival of the troops , according to the new plan of operation , the people retired . I fear this is but a hint of their future intentions . Should the prisoners lately pent to Warwick be injured ^ thi-re is a combination of their relatives preparing to take an awful vengeance . Societies are forming in all quarters . Nothing but revenge talked of .
Birmingham , Wednesday Nigkt , Twelve o'Cleck . On Tuesday tha shopkeepers were engiged in boarding up their shop-winJows ia the evening , and report having baen circulated that the colliers wer . ; coming to the assistance of the Birmingham men , all the military and police , with the artillery , were quartered in the direction of Wolverhaiapcon . A body ( if the military proceeded to Hodeway Head , and dispersed a meetiug there taking 18 prisoners . Amidst th « greitt namber thus captured , not more than four have been committed for trial at the
assizes , and those on the lames ; testimony . Accounts have bt ? ea received from Dadley , from which it would apuear that the men of that pVac » are up in arms , and that tbe shopkeepers h « ve closed tbeir shops ; Home pikes have oeen seized , and a further and most diligent search U making for mme . A requisition ha * been forwarded to Lord John Russell , praying either the dismissal of the Magistrates or an enquiry into the casse of their apath y , by which the town was on Monday night left for an hour to the mercy of the iuaurgents . Martial law has been proclaimed . The inhabitants are com * pelled to remain at homs after eight o ' clock , and
every man is called upon tn have himself sworn in a special constable . Crowds are resorting to the scene of destruction , but not the slightest pity is expresssd for the sufferers ; con > tant , and repeated injuries have made the human heart more callous than the hardest iron , and has induced man to look on his fellow as his euemy , ami a monster formed for mutual extermination . But this state of thiDgs will not , shall not , be coatinued : the voice of tbe people , which is the voice of God , is raised against it , and must be obeyed . This day a sulle ? and inexplicable alienee is observed hy the people , which by many is looked on as a prelude to further riots . All is doubt , uncertainty , and danger .

infcst the streets of our hitherto peaceful town , and svho have been brough * . here evidently with a view t-- > exasperate the people , to break the peace , while they alone are the peaoe-breakera .

Mr . Eouonbs said he was sorry to hear saefx an expression from him , and he would ask bing no more questions , Mr . Donaldson , a Chartist , said , fromliaving heard reports detrimental to the political character of dw . prisoner , he was induced to go to tha meeting and narrowly watch him , and take nottoe of what ha siiid . Harney was sap-posed to be a « py ia tha camp , and he was anxtous to kno 7 / what hi would say , with the view to obviate , if possible , any violence which the result of his observations might possibly have the effect of producvag ou the public mind . He never knew the mm ; and , from his conduct at the meeting , h > had now no reason tot believe that he was a spy . He could positively nay taat Harney had never nsed the language ua »
DUted to hiua , nor anything ap » roaci > ing to itr As regards arms , he certainly did ai ' tada to the weapons iu ns ^ at the time of obtaining Magna Charts , but never advocated re ? ortini { to arms , to obtain their sndsmthe presnt day .

Never heard him fay a word about Wroteing what his more fortunate neighbour possessed .

Richard Britain corroborated tho evidence of the preceding witness , and in answer to questioner pat to him , said th < re was only one chair at tha meeting , upon which the speakers raised t ' n <*> i ; selves one nfter another .

Several thousand persons were assembled nround the inn where they were , aad hut for the facilities which , the prisoner gave it would have bsen out of big power ta convey hira from the town . Mr .

which wure brough : before th .-ro , wer * always disposed to give the uriis-juer fie b- ' iitfit of er . deace which might be adduced iu his favour , nnd rarely the overwhelming mass of rvidt-nce iu this case ovtr the single one of a police-officer vrculd not foil t » have its due effect . The prisoner was not cLarged with a libel— with having calmly sat do * n , writtezr and published it , but merely nttur-. ' -d wwds at » public meeting which were metaphorical in their meaning only , and not approaching in strength to many uttered by th ^ se at fcimiiar meetings vhich ke was then addressing . He centend >» 4 . that the words , if true , were not sufficient to send his client to prisoa . How often had it been said by Mr . Attwood and others tnat Parliament would only yie : d to their fears ; but it never was for a moment considered that this exurassioa west beyond a sentence of figure . He did not think tbe
language , if true , would warrant hw convictioB . He tally participated with the Magistrate * ia deprecating the meetings which had beon held ; bnt fie would add , that vrords ef muck greater atrocity had been delivered at meetings ia this to ^ o , aye , and in that placiy than those with wkich the priscner was charged . He would refsr t > the cftlnmna of tho Birmingham Journal for ianguigeia public resolutioat > , inserted in that paper , as a conclusive oroof of liis aiiertion . Bsing a stranger , but probably awar « of such a latitude of expression being allowsd by others holding moro important position in society than he di < l , th j prisoner did not bJeatate to speak boldly , as his imagination prompted him . Now , however , as the towa was ia a » Uua of peace , he did hope that tha Magistrates would feel it tbeir duty to duini * s tho charge against the prisoner .

BIRMINGHAM . Sunday , Two o ' clock , p . m— It is with infinite regret that I am compelled to acknowledge that the conduct of our magistrates ia hazarding the public peace , and that it i « calculated to afford to the Chartt'tH , and Bther disturbed spirit * here , a pretext for repeating those scenes which it is so much the desire and the interest of all to put down . Oa Friday , Mr . WatH , of Paradiaesrrtet , London , and Mr . Guest , Steel House-lane , Birmingham , sureties for Mr . Lovetr , and Mr . Ilusiel ) , and Mr , Thompson , of Birmingham , sureties f » r Air . Collins , attended at the public offt . ee for the pu po 98 of perfecting their bail . Mr . Watt *> , b * ing a stranger , produced ai eTidence cf his respectability £ 1 , 600 , good asd substantial
property . After a leug henea consultation , the magistrates adjourned their decision ta Saturday , to enable them to satisfy themselves of the i-uffieiency of Mr . Watts's bail . Tb . U gentleman , in order to n-aove eiery pretext for u . further postponement , proceeded to London for the purpose of procuring lurther evidence of his respectability , with which he returned at two o'clock yesterday ( Saturday ) . At ha ) l-p ist two , according to the m titrates ' order , the four sureties attended at the public r-ffioe . At five o ' clock the magistrates announced , through Mr . Ryland , their clerk , that they adjourR ^ d tbe consideration of taking bail , to two o ' elcck , Monday . I will not attempt to describe the effect such an unexpected announcement had on all present .
I have been as yet unable to trace the proceedings of the Committee of Publio Safety , although not a night elapses without their holding one or twe meetings . But they are never keld the second tirae in the same hous « , ner is any one but a aember admitted . It now combines committees from almost * very trade . The latter committees are selecting delegate *—tried men—to correspond with the National Convention . Those tried men , are to receive orders from the Convention , which they are to convey to the several committees , who aTe to strike the blow at a minute ' s warning . This may be truly termed a mitigated warfare in the midst of peace .
A committee of thirteen will be formed from the Convention , to flit permanently in London , while the other delegates wiil agitate different parts cf thf Kingdom . Several letters ha"e been received from Carlisle , Stockpert , Newcastle , and other places iu England and Scotland , announcing that the people are arming , and are r » a € y , with two leaders for every one that may be arrested . Every exertion i ? being mn . de to induce the Hibernian Society here , which musters 8 , 000 strong , to jain the Chartists , but as yet the ) have been ineffectual , which is attributed to the influence Mr . OConuell possesses amongst them .
The intelligence of the fate of the National Petition'has caused great excitement , ansl created a fresh and vigorous movement amongst the Chartists , who threaten , despite of military or any otherpower . ta meet this nigh *; in the Bull King . It u gaid that Mr . Harney will not be committed for trial , the charges against him are so trifling , and the evidence 3 d unsatisfactory . Report * are in circulation that the Charti » t 8 will , on to-nmrow ( Monday ) , appaar a $ * in in tbe field Thee * rtyorta ba ? e caused consider * hU akfta . —Sun .
