Chartist Mbktinq . —Oa Monday evening week , a public ^ meeting of the Wapp ia * Branch of the Bradford Northern Union , was hald in Ihe open air at that place . It was intended to announce the meeting by sending round tbe Town's Bellman , but fhia could not be allowed . The authorities gave ordiiis that , should he ery a meeting of rhis fcind , he might take tha conne ^ Qeuee into hia own hands . A young man , belonging to the society , made up this
deficiency by going round and acting as cryer , warning the people by springing a rattle . The meeting was numerousl y attended , ably addressed , and the following resolution unanimously carried : — " That in consequence of the inroads that have been made upoa the people by an unconstitutional Police Force , at Birmingham , it is the indispen « ible duty of every man to provide arms for this purpose of repelling any act of aggression that may be made , and also arm ourselves for the protection of life and
property . Thb Contention . —The Rioters undbr Sentence oy Death . —The Council of the General Convention has recommended the immediate adoption of the following addr * s « , at every Chartist meeting : — " We , your M * jesty '» loydl subjects , had reason to hope that the mild spirit of the age had rendered obsolete all those sanguinary laws which , ranker-reigpa , bad subjected offenders to ignominious death for comparatively trifling offeuets . We ^ regret , however , -to ' lea ri * that three of your Majesty- * nubjeots have been recently convicted under an old act of Parliament , which appears to have escaped the eye of the legMaturein its revision and repeal of barbarous enactments ; we cannot help believing , that had those oriaies been faund upon the calendar of a general asiizeand not
, treated as political oflencee , they would have been more mildly construed , and the puniihmenr , eren ofter conviction , would not hare amounted to a sacrifice of life . Under these circumstances we humbly and respectfully appeal to your Majesty , that you will be graciously pleased to exercise your rojal prerogative , by extending the royal pardon to Francis Roberts , Joseph Howell , a :. d John Joneo , lately convicted and sentenced to death , at ths assizes of Warwick . \ Ye beg most respectfully to direct your Majesty ' s attention to the unfavourable circumstances under which the prisoners were tried—being committed for a mere riot , and afterwards capitally indicted .

—^ ap ^_ , _ APPREHENSION AND COMMITTAL OF THOMPSON , THE GUN-MAKER OF BIRMINGHAM . The evidence giv * n before the majjistrates at Stockport and Ashton-under- Lyne haying shown that the fire arm-L-sold in those towns had been supplied by a Mr . Thompson , of Uirroingham , it was thought advisable by tho Stockpert magistrates that he should bs Apprehended . Accordingly , Mr . Sadler , the . superintendent of police of that borough went to Biiuaingham for tlw purpose on Wednesday la * t , and met with the prisoner near his own residence , wnich is Bituated in Whittle-street , St . Mary ' a Gate , Birmingham . He wont up to him , and told 1 him he came from Stockport , and nhook
hands with him , and then told him be had a warrant against him for having arms in his ponueiwion for illegal pnrposen , and charged him with supplying Mitchell , oi Stockport , and Higginc , of Axhtoa , witn arms for illegal purposes . He said he had supplied them with arras , but it was in a tradesmanlike manner , and that he had no connection with them as Chartists . Mr . Sadler requested him to accompany him to his ( prisoner ' s ) 'house . He did » o , and then demanded to » ee hia authority for his sppreherttion . Mr . S . produced the warrant , and tbvn asked the prisoner if he bad-soy papers in bis posoension ; and those producad w * re given to him by tht » prisoner rnd hi » wife . The prisoner said , that he never know for what purpose the army w » re required , but onoHe occasion , and that was in Athton , when some men cAme in hia shop , and began to nhoulder their muskets , ae iBatnaHatoly ^ toHT them to dtsUt , that they should not do bo on hid premises . The
latter now prodnced he found at the residence of the prisoner , at Birmingham . [ Tt appeared to be a letter from Timothy Higgin * , informing him that the police had broken into bis house , taken the arms , and charged him with having thera in hin possession for unlawful purposes , aod stated that he hid been apprehended and taken before th * magistrate * , and bailed out to appear to take his trial . ] Auotheir letter was alno produced which had been Sound in the residence of the prisoner ; it was directed to Thompson , and signed "R . J . Richtrdson , " of Manchester . It ga » e a coBnt ? rmand of an order which had been sent for arms , aud complained of a suspicion that he ( Thompson ) was privy to the apprehension of several parties by giving information to Government . [ Some letters of tha prisoner were produced . Mr . Sauler swore to his handwriting , from having seen him write twice on the previous day . He also swore to the handwriting of Higjnng . ]
Mr . Cobbett cross-examined the witness in reference to the handwriting , and afterwards ro « e to address t ? . e Bench . He said the prisoner was charged with hnving arms in his possession ; but he contended that the charge could not be entertained , es it was well known that he was a manufacturer of arms ; and hia having sold arms to the prisoner * , Mitchell and Davies , did not prove that he had aold them for the purpose of acting illegally ; therefore be did not tiiink it possible to make a crime out ol the extremely iar-fetched evidence , as the prisoner h d not betn proved to haye been connected with those parties who had previously b ' en convicted , on what he considered to be equally far-fetched and refined evidence . He had sold them in the
character of a tradesman , which , ai a man of businew , ho had a right to do . There are some documents which have been produced , and Sadler haa positively » worn to the handwriting . He did not consider this any proof whatever ; and correct proof of handwriting could not at any time be tnken by comparison . Such proof cowld not be entertained by any judge in the kingdom . He didnot deny but that the signatures produced were very much alike ; but Mr . Sadler , from seeing the pr isoner write twice yesterday , had undertaken to swear to the documents now produced . Now , Sir , 1 say , that a man who would swear to those documents on such ground is not
worthy of any credit ut all . It was no fault of his that the gentleman had thus hazarded his character . Mr . Sadler was not an ignorant man ; and if he fell into an error , he could not h lp it . In conclusion , lie i « aid , in reference to tLis prosecution , that he hoped he should not have to appear in that court again ; and he trnsfed thatsnch a report of the case throughput would be given as would hand down to posterity tha conduct of that bench , as a beacon and es a warning to all magistrates in future . The Mayor , in reference to the latter remarks of Mr . Cobbett , said that himself and brother Magistrates considered they bad only done their duty .
The prisoner was then committed for trial on a chnrge of illegally disposing of arms , combinatioc , a . iid conspiracy . Mr . C- 'bbett inquired at what hour the prisoner Nicholls would be brought up on Saturday ? The Clerk * The Court always commences at twelve o ' clock , unless otherwise arranged . The Mayor—Shall yon be here Mr . Cobbett ? Mr . Cobbett—Why , I don ' t know , Sir . The Mayor—Because I am requested by my brother Magistrates to say , that more courtesy must , in future , be observed on your part , otherwise you will be excluded practising in this Court . Mr . Cobbett briefly apologised , and the Court broke up .

O { The following communications were excluded by press of matter from our last . ] Mr . Bussed at Keiohley . —On Thursday evening Jast , Mr . Bussey , of Bradford , delegate to the National Convention , delivered sn address in the Working Men ' s Hail , while on bis tour of agitaiion through the West-Riding . The Hall , which is capable of holding about five hundred persons was crowded to excess , and the speaker was introduced by Mr . Josh . Firife , the chairman , amidst the applause of the meeting . Tho absence of a reporter makes it impossibla to So anything like juatice to the , address which abounded with sonnd sense and aigument , and was an excellent exposure of tht
present corrupt system of Government . Mr . Bussey , amongst other things , drew an excellent contrati between the Government of America and that of thi * country , showing the enonnnug and useless extrav ? gance of the latter when compared with the former . When speaking of the present state of the labouring das ? , he aptly compared them to the baae of a pyramid , on which was built all the other clas « es , observing that the first person who seated hiraseh on the shoulders of the working man was the shop keeper , or middle-class man ; next came the manufacturer , who seated himself on the shoulders o ' l . the shopkeeper—the merchant on the shoulders of the manufacturer—the landed man on the shoulder ?

of the merchant ; and so on , up to little Queen Victoria , whr > formed the apex of the pyramid . Thr method of extracting money from tee labouring class commenced by the person at the * sammit drawing from tbe next , who in bis tarn extracted it from the pockets o ; the next teiow him , wiih interest , till it came to the pockets of the working man , who had no other pocket to apply to , aim consequently paid lor all at last . Mr . Bussey dvielt at considerable length , and in an able manner , on tVo Pension Lift , Faper Money , the Narional Debt , &c , with a variety of other abuses , aed concluded his able and manly address of upwards of two hours amidst the plaudits of his aadienee . The erowded ' state of the Hall caused considerable interruption to the speaker , Wy the pressing of huudreds unable fo gain admittance , and the sum of £ 2 was collected at tbe close of tbe meeting towards the National Rent .
Barnsley Demonstration . — On Tuesday , we had a preparatory meeting , to take into con ' 8 ideration the propositions contained in the advice ef the National Convention , and to suggest the best possible means ot co-operating with their views . After a few desultory remarks fiom some of the member * , the meeting was acjaurned to the Tuesrlav following . The authorities of the town , strutting in a u little brief authority , " intimatt-d , in the plainest terms possible , that they ( th © Magistrates ) aided by a largu p ©»» e of special constable 9 , together with the ragamuffin Irish blood-hounds , who , glutting for prey in this country , are as willing to kill a Radical as ever they were to kill a poor Catholic in their own . In order to the completion of thisthreac , they have converted a noble mansion on . Bank Top into Barracks
a , and have tbe military atationed there . Tbe peoplt , always willing to obey the laws , got a requisition signed and presented it to the Constahk y ' ' tjhey were tbld ^ to leave their jeqamtien , and flfe ^ jppld gk an agjwe ' r on Monday morning . T hi 8 ^ ey '< fei ] J . not get , " i » the Magititratwi detained it , and the public opinion wan , that-their intention was to frustrate the me « ting . Rum » nr ran high , and some of the Constables asserted fbaj they were determined to put down the meeting , legal or illegal , and that they had cannon , and all the dogs of war to let slip at u « , if we persevered , asd also that they had warrants for our leading men ; a ^ d to wind up the climax , they issued a placard headed "Illegal Meetings , " and thr » arming how they would persecute us if we collected money for tbe National Rent , or any other purpose , and wound up as fallows : —
" That if any such meeting Bhall hereafter be held in any part of the said town of Barnsley , those who shall take part therein shall be prosecuted according te law . Stuart Corbxtt . H . B . Cooke . John Thobneiy , H . Watkins . " The Committee fearing that any disturbance should tak « place through guch intimidation , issued a circular , or placard , begging of the people to abstain from any such meeting at present ; but their advice was unheeded , for the people , to the amount
often thousand and upwards , assembled to vindicate tht : ir ri ^ ht to public discusuion , appointed their own chairman , and pasted the following resolutions , without calling en any of their old friends , a proof positive if thofe persons are apprehended , there are others ready and willing to brave the fiery billowa of the wartide against papular opinion . The chair was occupied by Mr . Reuben Joinec , who opened the proceedings with a forcible appeal in behalf of his fellow-operatives . The meeting was then addressed by Mr . Clarke , of Ashton , Merow . Wilkinson , Hustlor , and others , when the resolutions were passed unanimously .
" That the working men of Barnsley and its vicinity , willing and determined to carry out the People ' s Charter , are bow ready to join in the united effort * of their brotter Chartists throughout all parts of the Kingdom , and we are farther determined never to desist from oar agitation until we have attained our just and legal right * . " " That having read the advice of our tinflinehing patriot Mr . Feargus O'Connor , to hU constituents of Great Britaiu , we fuily conour in hia wise suggestions , aad are ready to act upon the spirit of that advice . " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman amid loud acclamations , three sheers for the Contention , and three cheers for our noble gtlves , leaving the specials , &c , who were slanders by , toga home in dudgeon , ana sing " my grandmother died of the dumps .

" a man wb © at tew years ago was a journeyman linen weaver , Wsa who now , by fostering the grubbing inetinct fea * fostered himself into the condition of a maner »*^ cloth manufacturer , recently displayed his hatred « S justice , sense , and decency , by discharging freoa hi * employment two poor weavers , btcuvse tfc * vwere friends of Williams end Binns , atd had v . » . lunteered to collect the National Kent . A Je-w
