The Chairwax now addressed the meeting , and dlencc waB immediatel y restored . He said—Mr . Baines was disinclined to give up the chair . He iMr B . ) had informed him that the room -was hired by his friends—that ho had been advertised to take the chair—and therefore he had . a right to claim and to be in the chair . tGroans " and cheering . ) He had further stated that he . would not give up the chair unless dispossessed of it by brute force . < Loud groans . ) ^' ^ this he ( the Chairman ) would not attempt to do . ( Great cheering . ) He was entirely in the hands of the meeting . If that meeting thought proper to accept Mr . Baines as their Chairman , well and good . He ( Mr . Hobsom understood he had teen called td the chair by the vote of the meeting . ( Loud cries of ' I \" o , no "— "Yes , yes" nringled with vociferous cheering . If tho 3 e gentlemen who objected disagreed with that , let them put it to the vote again . ^^^ ^» ^ mediately restored . '¦' ' &" % S& ± S Ba ^ es -was disinclined to ' giVe up the chair . He . ( Mr .
This Mr . Baines and his party refused to do , while the other party loudly cheered , and , conscious of their superior numbers , seemed perfectly willing to assent to the proposition . Mr . Fxesiixg ( editor of the Xeic- Moral Wvrld ) , who was seated in the body , of the room , here rose and said , that the placard calling the meeting did not positively state that Mr . Baines would take the chair , but merely that hewasejjtfrfrt ? to do so . { Cheers . ) It-was the etiquette foi a public meeting to choose its own chairman . They had accordingly chosen theirs , and they should therefore , at once proceed to business . ( lireat cheerinn . )
Mr . SCALES bore presented himself ; and after the Chairman had succeeded in procuring him a hearing , he said that the room had b ? en taken : by a society existing in the town , and they had announced in their bills that Mr . Baines would take the chair , c So , no , expected , expected . " The placard stated that Mr . Eaines was expected to take the chair . ) No one had a right to interfere with the Society in the . nomination of Chairman . By that Society the room ^ would be paid for . iCheers and disapprobation . ) Mr . Flemixg said he was very desirous the meeting should proceed in proper order . That was a public meeting , called to take into consideration certain
subjects . Those who called it were , no doubt , prepared with their resolutions . The meeting was perfectly ready to hear what they had to say ; and there were no doubt some present who would bring forward other propositions ; ( Great cheering . ! It was announced in the placards ihat a certain gentleman was ejjKiicd to take the chair . iLoud cheers , and cries of " Is ' o , no . ") He knew the chairman they had constitutionally elected was prepared to give an impartial hearing to both sides ; but the meeting must insist upon their constitutional right to elect their own chainnax . ( Tremendous cheering , which almost drovrned the opposition of the minority . )
Lieutenant Fabi ax now again attempted to be heard He said—~ "Will yon be courteous enongh to hear the voice of a stranger ? " But the meeting , apparently anxious to proceed to business , overwhelmed his voice by shouts of Chair , chair . ") llr . Baixes . who had till now attempted to bully the meeting into accepting him . as chairman , finding the meeting almost unanimous in asserting their rights against his pretensions , now sullenly -withdrew from the chair , and the chairman took his * seat'amidst enthusiastic cheering . The Her . Mr . Scales , shouting at
the top of his voice , exclaimed I most decidedly pro test" but" the cheers which greeted the chairmau prevented him froxi being heard . This gentleman . Lieutenant Fabian , the chop-fallen MJ . for Leeds , and others of the clique , who -were now doing their utmost to prevent the opinions of tht meeting -on education from being recorded , were loud in their protestatiuas against the validity of the proceedings . Mr . Bairns loudly exclaimed—— The question has never been put but on one side . The question has never been put on the other ride . "
The Chairman—Order , order ! Gentlemen on the platform . I do call you to order ! i < ireat cheering . i Then , addressing the meeting , the chairman said . > lr . Baines now complained that the election of cliairman was not put to the vote fairly , t Cries of Oh , oh . '" and loud groaning ;) 2 > ow , this was a complaint which certainly came with a bad grace from Mr . Baines at ' this Stsge of the proceedings . "When he ( the chairman > offered some time back to put it t « the vote . Mr . B . refused , alleging that he had a right te the chair , and now , when Le found the meeting- would not accept hLs services , he wanted to have it put again . < Loud groaning , and disapprobation . ! He ithe chairman ) had not got a copy of the placard , but he thought one miaht be procured . tHert Mr . Baines . who had been standing by with quivering lip and clenched hands . be = came so -violent as to prevent the cliairman from-pro ceeding . and he more than once called the discomfited 3 LP . to onlrr .
lieutenant Fabian said he had paid for the room , and protested against the proceedings . The Chairman then formally introduced tlie gallant Lieutenant to the meeting , who , h = said , would probably enter into details respecting the business of the evening . Lieutenant Fabian said that under existing circumstances he should do nothing of the kind . Mr . Baints had K-en invited by the parent society to act as chairman on this occasion . He i Lieut F . i was merely an agent of that society ; and as Mr . Baines had not been allowed to take the chair , he . in the name of the society , declared the meeting dissolved ! The gallant Ut-utenant then packed up liis papers , and TetTrateO '~ in nigh ( lu'lgeon , accompanied by the miserable M . P . for Leeds , who left the platform " amid the groanings and execrations of the honest working men . whom , through the channel of his ) base press , he weekly calumniates and insults .
The Chairman said that Laent Fabian had told bim he lad intruded upon the meeting ; and he supposed he would maintain that he himself had not intruded when he presumed to dissolve a public meeting while the ehair wss occupied . < Cheers . > It might be very galling , and no doubt it was so . that ' the Meniber for Leeds should be so unceremoniously unseated ; great laughter ;; and little did he tthe Chairman . think that the task of unseating him would have fallen upon his shoulders . iKenewed laU 2 hter- > But he -would remind The Hon . Member for Leeds , that those who-could
maie . could unmake ; and Eu-wanl Baines , Esq ., M , P , had been made both an E&jttire and an M . P- by such as those who composed tlint meeting . iTremonflous cheerinc for some niiantes , interspersed with hisses from a party of Quaker Indie * and a few ''" gentlemen" who now occupied the orchestra—aniongrt them was Mt . Euward Baines . Jutl , the Queen Gruantr ; no sooner ¦ was this discovered , than groans and yel ? s . the most loud and terrible ,, were set up . and the party -withdrew from the orchestra with the utmost precipitancy . "When otuVt had in some measure been restored , the Chairman resumed his address , and said—This might teach such
legislators- Here three policemen suddenly appeared on the platform , and ordered the Chniraiau to withdraw ' . ' . \ The astonishment and indi ? TE 2 tion of the meeting at this Interruption may "be more ca . -ily imairincd than described , as our readers -will have setn from this report , that nothing bordering on a breach of . the . peace had been committed , and the Lnsincss of the niccting had been delayed soVly by the impudent attempt of Mr .-Baines to force himself o : i the meeting as chairman . The CJiairman . of course , immediately ordered the police to withdraw , when they all three seued him in the most ruffianly and ferocious manner , and endeavoured to drae hiin from the platform . > lr . Bohson , however , who is a po-werful man , maintained his posiiiou for some time without -using violence , loudly calling to his friends , to send for Mr . Read , the chief constable ,
that he might give his brutal assailants into custody , and to dose the doors so that they hbould not escape . Xunibers now jumped on the platform ; and there is verv little doubt but that the police would have been rough ! v handled had they not relinquished their grasp . At length Mr . Read made his appearance ; and , as his friends were by this time highly excited , llr . Hobson thought it would be prudent to dissolve the meeting at once , without coming to any resolution on the subject for which it was called . He therefore told Mr . Head that he would narrate to him what had happened , and be entirely guided by his advice as to the course he wonld pursue . He then narrated the facts , which are already before our readers , and concluded by giving the police in charge for the assault . Mr . Bead refused to tale the polfceinen into custody , but s-aid they would be forthcoming if wanted ; and his advice to the Chairman would be that every one should rttire .
The Cn-ilKMAN then dissolved the meeting , informing those present that they would have an opportunity of talking the matter over at the Music ijaloon , South Parade . He also intimated his intention of bringing the policemen which had assaulted him before the Magistrates , to answer lor their conduct
. An attempt wss now made to clear the room , which could not be effected for more than an hoar , notwithstanding the efforts of Mr . Read , the ChkT Constable , aaa Air . Kichardson , the Clcrfc of the Peace , to ir . < 2 uce the parties to retire . To accomplish this , they turned down the aas tbr « .- separate times , but all to no
purpose . The parties present k ept possession of their seats , and rot used to leave the place , for fear , as they said , the M . P . and his party should return and conduct their business with closed doors . It was not till after Mr . Hobion had been fetched from the i . usic Saloon , to cive them an assurance from the parties interesti'd . tliat no such trick should be played them , that they could 1 induced to deiwrt ; when a great number of thus * : present proceeded to the Music : Saloon , whtre the following jresolution iwhich was to have hoen proposed as an amendment on the first reso lution of tha preceding inciting * was carriwl unanimously : —

T . R . SMART Arundel Coffee-house .
THE APPEOACHIXG ELECTIONS . Mr . 'Pitkethly- - moved to the following effect , — u That it was of the highest importance that the candidate pledged to support the principles of tJniversal Sulfrage , bo immediately selected , appointed , and called upon to address the various county anu borough constituencies' throughout -Great Britain and Ireland , and by all possible means te obtain a majority of members of Parliament , at the . next general election , pledged to tlie Charter , " He considered that the resolution was so intelligibly clear , that it did not require any comment from him . It appeared to him aiid to several friends , that it was essential that the Couvcution should select individuals who would be pledged to the Charter at the next
election , and address themselves to the .-different constituencies throughout the country . Such , was the only way to promote the cause of the people with security , and every such candidate would be perfectly secure within" the' barriers of the coiistitution from the attacks of tho Attorney-General . Mr . O'Connor seconded the . resolution with the exception of the concluding part of it , because th , e recommendation should be left to the coilStituCHcieS themselves—( hear , hear)—who were the legitimate sources for carrying the spirit of the resolution into eft ' ect . An election was near at huud , arid it was ol the highest importance that the people should have as many members of -Parliament as could be obtained favourable to their cause . ( Hear , hear . ) The
substance- of the resolution he had himself , upon a former occasion , recommended to tho council , that the people should be prepared with' Radical caiidir dates . ( Hear . ) He intended , at the next election , himself to address the people of Yorkshire ^ and he as well as any other candidate Avould have the power of entering into the whole system , of . "goverument , with its enormous amouut of evils , and of " . exposing " them-to the country at large . ( Hear , hear . ) On such an occasion , the Government could not , and would not , interfere . The candidates and the . people would be shielded bv the constitution ; and , if any opposition were made , it would be in the power of the candidate , in the event of , his not having beeu heard , not to permit the candidate of any ¦ coiiflictillff
faction beiDK heard ako . ( Hear . ) Should such brute force he resorted to , lie would endeavour to act upon a similar principle ; and if they would not hear the lladicals , he would take care that they ( the factions ) would not be heard either . Ont of the i > 5 Jj members who misrepresented the people , there could be a show of hands obtained for at least i' 00 , who woiild represent them . ( Hear , hear . ) To the second part of the resolution ho was distinctly opposed , because it comprehended a monopoly-to which ho and the whole conventional body , and those Vthonv they represented , were iu direct hostility —( hear , hear)—but the former part he would support . It was al ^ o important to know that at tho county
elections , each elector , was privileged to go armed with a . sword in his hand—^ cinclus gladit Mr . O'Connor concluded by moving tliat a Committee be appointed to address the people generally , and that it be a recommendation from the Convention to the people that a Committee for that purpose should be established in every town , comity , arid borough of the . " empire , to provide a proper candidate-for nomination ' at the ensuing elections . l ) r . TaVlou nioved as an amendment that a Committee he appointed to draw up an address to be sent throughout the country ; but that the-selection of the candidate or candidates'be ' left to : the people themselves .
Agreed to . Tlie Committee was . then appointed , consisting of Messrs . O'Connor , Fryst , Bussey , Keesom , and Jackson . Mr . . Jackson ( the member for Hull ) wished to know whether or not the member so proposed by the people for the support of . Universal Suftrago would , in the event of the show of hands being in their favour , become necessarily , by such election , member of the Convention , if i : ot " of the Imperial Parliamont . ^ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ . Mr . O'Connor deprecated the admixture of details in the recognition of a principle .
SCOTCH DELEGATION . Mr . O'Co . VNon , in accordance with the notice which he had placed upon the books yesterday , moved that an addi-c-is be forwarded from the Convention sitting in London , to the Convention of Delegates who lately sat in Glasgow , and of which a Central Council of fifteen wore still sitting , expressive Of the opinion of tho Convention-with respect to the resolutioiiit re . ' -.-ntly adopted by the Scotch Delegates at Gls ? jTO"W . ' Agreed to . " Mt-sr =. O'Connor , Unrns , and Jackson wore then iioir . Ir . uted as a Committee to prepare the address . FINANCE COMMITTEE .
Mr . PiTKHTiiLT , as the Cliairman of the Committee apjx > i : ited to investigate certain outstanding accounts , expressed his sorrow that any irritating language should have been resorted to . If anything painful to tlie feelings of any member had been uttered by him he was extremely sorfv , and he hoped that in the discussion upon which they were thoii about to enter , there would be a total absence of aujry . feeling . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Pitkethly then read the rej > ort of the Committee . Report of the Finance Committee to the General Convention . -.
Tlie expenses of Mr . Cardo to Staffordshire , Devonshire , and . Cornwall , appear to your Committee to be excessive . Each separate item in the account presented to the Committee appears to include extra expenses . It appears , upon examination of the account , that 2 s . are -charged as paid to a coachman for a short journey . Tliat is more than ought to have been given . Jt appears also that the fares to Plymouth ' charged . £ ' A 10 s . was originally Jl 2 10 s . —( Here Mr . Frost stated his non-adhesiou to this next remark , )—a tail having been subsequently made to tlie figure 2 , which raised the fare to one pound more than fairly ought to have been charged . Your Commit toe therelore conceive that
upon re-examining the accounts , that there is little room to charge these high extras , seeing .:-that in almost every item tho sum charged is higher than could be justified upon a principle of fairness . In reference to Mr . Hart well ' s accounts , which we have also rc-examiued , we see not any reason , nor have we , in fact , the power to allow ' a charge for time , to any Delegate of tlie Convention . Your Committee equally conceive it to be the duty of every member of the Convention to insist upon havina ; the specific particulars of the names of the witnesses , and the amoimt paid to each of them , before they allow of . £ ' 3 10 s . charged upon account of payment made to witnesses at Birmiugham , for loss of time .
( Signed ) Henry HETnEJUKGTo . v . I think the partitulars of expense ouglit to have been furnished . 1 think we '' cannot allow fur loss ef time . ( Signed ) John Frost , L . PlTKJETlILV , Mr . Pitkethlt then enumerated the minutes of facts which supported the resolution of the Committee , and said that Mr . Cardo ' s expenditure was execisive , because , in a paper published on- th ' c ' O ' th of June , it appeared that the fares ( £ 1 3 s . ) were far inferior to those charged by Mr . Cardo , who set out ou his mission ou the ' 24 th of May .
Mr . Carventeu here interposed , and said , that it vcas disgracclul to dispute the dcclaratiori . of a member of the Convention , when that gentleman declared that he had paid what was stated in his account . He ( Mr . Carpenter ) did not object to the conduct < . ; Mr . Pitkethly , whom he considered to be actLTatcil-by the purest praiviple ; but the stai-onicnt of Mr . Caruo was Jaiislactory , \ v 3 ie : i , in his account , lie stated that he Lad expended the money , a ; : d he repeated that it was dl ^ racoiul to di ^ cuts the matitr , wliich vras vimially stating . tliat lie -was uttcriiig an untruth .

Mr .
