The multitude ires ho great outside , that it was fcnnd necessary to acjo :: rn to an open spice of gronnd adjoining the M&riet-place , where Mr . Mason delivered the m « t splendid lecture ever heard in Bilston . Amongst the assembled multitude were many of the Whig and Tory gentry , several of whom were candid enough to admit the truth of Mr . Mason ' s principles , " and
acknowledged the present poiiticel system to-be a bad one , and oppressive to the working class . The principle * of the Charter are taking such deep root here , that it will never ba in the power of Whig or Tory to . prevent the spresd of Chartism . Publicans who were afraid to admit Chartists into their hoases six months ago , are now offering their best rooms for the accommodation of our meetings .

them in a clear , powerful , talented , and convincing I manner ; combining and refuting all objections which ould be adduced against giving the power to the people , and showed clearly the superior policy of the people agitating for a fall measure of justice instead of an isolated grievance . He glaccea at the question of teetotalism , which he recommended to be adopiad generally , if possible . He adverted to several other topics , all of wiicn he handled in a masterly manner , and , as he bad invited diseu = Eion , conduced an excellent and stimulating addres 3 , after occupying but a moderate time , in order to give an opportunity to other parties who wish&d to take part in the discussion .

Watkins answered him ia a very eloquent manner . He hoped , if any one had anything to say , be would do eo before he left the room . He was open aad willing to meet the best Hian of the League , provided he came forward as their accredited agent . Mr . Finnjgan then spoke but advanced nothing new . Mr . Vincent . replied . Mr . Finnigan again spoke , and Mr . Vincent rejoined . As our space will not admit of giving both m full , we give neither . At the eonolusion of Mr . Kaakan ' s last speech he said that as the League

Warren eulogised , the i-jcture which had been delivered , stating that he never heard tho principles of the Charter better explained . Mr . Watts * a Social missionary , spoke next , showing that one did not oppose the other , and that the amendment and the resolution could be both passed without the least compromise of principle .

Vincent , Baid that the mover and seconder were willing for both togo together .

seconded by Leonard Haslop , " T . tat we , the inhabitants of Oldhaoi , in public meeting assembled , after having maturely taken into consideration the information , indictment , and conviction of James Dawson , of Lees , consider the whole casa to be tyrannical , unjust , and contrary to toe spirit of the British constitution , and cannot but view the conduct of the party who instigated tbe proceedings in any other light than that of a biggotted partisanship , throwing alike disgrace upon the character of the magistrate , and tbe sanctity of the clergyman , and this case offers another proof of the necessity of not only having the power to elect the Members of Parliament , bst also to have all the magistrates under the controul of the whole people .

PUBLIC MEETING CALLED BY THE LEEDS PARLIAMENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening , a pnblic meeting , called by ths Leeds Reform Association { alias the Fox and Goose Club ) , was held in the large room of the Commercial Buildings , ostensibly to promote a union all clashes of Reformers—really to gull the Chartists , if possible , by getting their assistance in passing anti-Corn Law resolutions . The "lads , " however , were too far north , and though no effort was made to get them together , shej asseabled in full force , npset the " Antis , " and passed a resolution in favoar of the whole Charter . Many high sounding names were put forth by the promoters of the meeting , and amonsjst the rest Col . Thompson , Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P ., a Mr . C . J . SymoaB , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . But all would not do . w Othello ' s occupation's gone !" The room wa 3 orowded to excess . Mr . James GiBTH Marshall , the President of the Association , was called to the chair .
The Chairkas said the meeting had been convened by the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association for the purpose of affording an opportuuky to a few friends of the principles of free trade , and of the extension of the suffrage , of addressing them on some important points , with respect to the best means of forwarding the principles of Reform . The object , he believed , was to lay before the meeting a statement of the real position of the people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrying into effect measures of Reform , and particularly to draw attention to the necessity for a cordial union of all classes of reformers . After some other explanatory observations , he said he would not detain them longer than to make an apology for Air . Roebnck . who was
prevented by indisposition from attending . ( Cries \ of" He dare not come ? ' "ho ' s a traitor ; " " why ' . did he run away on Sharman Crawford ' s motion ' . ') Col . Thompson having been called upon by the Chairman , then rose to address the meeting , and was received with cheers . He said as they had placed him in front he would briefly state his opinions . Ho suspected that there was not one mau in ten in that meeting who did cot agree in the proposition , that the defects in the representation of the people , were the sources of the evils under which the country was Buffering . He did not mean thai they were the cause of men slipping down is the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable evil * . He then went to show what constituted & Government , which ho contended ought to rest solely on tbe representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , and not merely for the happiness of a select few . All
classes were ealled upon to support the Government , and to obey the laws of the country ; all clashes , therefore , ought te have an equal power in the making of the law * . Asa protection in the exercise of this power , th « few nan onght to have the Ballot , that he tught exercise his power in an independent manner . Tl » aristocracy , in all their transactions , were etrefol ftr themselves , bnt when the people asked for the same protection , it was denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merchant and manufactmrer had , and ought to have , considerable inftneaee over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bnlk of the people should hare none at all . It was like a joint stock company ; different members might have different proportions of Bhares in it , but be thought no one ever heard of a joint stcck company where the shares of some of the company were nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) He tboo&ht all would

agree that the representation wanted amending , and he advised them not to think it woa » hopeless business , which it might be , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who saw the necessity of a change , and he exhorted them not to refuse the . assistance ; , of such men , but to go on with those , who .. would J ' fi on with them . , One result of deeotive representation was the restriction upon industry , which amounted to the demand of a greater amount of the time and labour of the operative for a given quantity of food , to . those who had that food at their disposal . Ho . stood there the advocate for improvement in the representation . ( Load cheers . ) He Knew no man who had gone further than he had done . ( Continuedcheers ) There was
a document called the Charter , which he believed to be nothing bnt a fair embodiment of those principles of justice for whioh great and good men in these latter times had fought and contested . ( Prolonged cheering ) It contained , he believed , five points , which were agreed on before the document was drawn up . It was his good fortune to be one of eight or ten members of Parliament concerned in drawing up that document . ( Cheers . ) He bad never denied it—he had never shrank from it—he had never disavowed the name , and never been afraid to be called a Chartist . ( Hear , hear , and cries of u Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) Bat there was a differ * ence of opinion concerning tho way in which that Charter should bo advocated . They were told there was only one Charter , only one Chartism , and only one way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of " That ^ true . ") He did not thiuk that those who held that
opinion would be able to prevent a large body o ! men from taking another way with respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way io gain the Charter was by uniting on those great and pressing evils with the numbers of powerful men who were willing to go with them . ( Hear . ) Ho did not ask any man or body of men to give np their own objects . What he wanted to submit to that meeting was , whether it would not be best on the whole , admitting differences of opinion , but not quarrelling about them , to let each go his own way , if he oould , and wolcome . ( Hear , hear . ) Why should not one party say to another , if yon can put down or make an impression on the evil , in God ' s natue go on . If wo can put down or make an impression on the evil , iu God ' s name do not hinder us . ( Cheers . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the proposal which he came to make . Ha left it for them to
consider whether thero was not something like rational sense and good reason in it , and whether there were not many of them who would not be inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommended . ( The Colonel fat down with applause . ) Mr . Hamer Stansfkld , in moving the first resolution , said ho would not detain them long ; his health would not permit him to address them . He hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , iu promoting that union which was so desirable . Tbe resolution was— That this meeting views the defective state of the representation as ihs source of the suffering under which the country labours . " Mr . John Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution .
Mr . Jellinoeb Stxokds supported the resolution . He believed there was no safety in this country , nor any chance of restoring the national prosperity , without the people were invested with a full and fair % hare in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho landowners had returned tho present House ot Commons , and so long as they were permitted to have a monopoly in tho legislation , so long would the interests of the people be sacrificed to the cupidity of a wealthy and selfish aristocraoy . If , however , the working classes expected to have their grievances redressed , they must be united among themselves . Union was strength—division was weakness . He had lately visited Switzerland , where the
representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was iu full operation , and at the same time , thero was the most cordial onion between masters and men . This state of things was productive of tho greatest possible bentfit to the ceuntry , and he did not believe there was a more prosperous people to be iound than those of Swiizsrland , where , it should be borne in uiind , Universal Suffrage was the law of tho land . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho speaker , after thus paving the way , went to the question of the Corn Law .-, making it evident that ho had received a retaining fee on that point . He was of opinion that machinery did not injure the working man ; ho get , however , some pretty intelligible hints that working men did not agree with him .
The Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting , and n was carried with one dissentient . Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows : — * That the confiscation of the property of the indnstrious classes , inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is tht > most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , aud various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuisticxl nature of the proceedings , and it was at once determined that , as the League had thus attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in
resolution 1 , the meeting would endeavour to bring them back to the real question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He contended that the Corn Laws wero really one of the greatest M practical ' grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called himself Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by the Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was the results ot the Corn Laws , the landlords secured to themselves the monopoly of law-making . Mr . Nicholls , * n operative , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Goose Club , ) seconded the resolution .
Mr . Joseph Leks replied to the " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised he had not exhibited more practice in his resolution . The first resolution admitted that the source of all the erils of the country was iu de ectivo representation , and had Dr . Smiles been a practical man , aa he professed to be , he would have at once , after the source had been admitted , have come boldly ont with the remedy . ( Cheers . ) It was of no use endeavouring to lop off only a defective branch ; they most go at once to the root , as the only praetical means of remedy . He was a Chartist reot and branch—( shouts of" Bravo , lad , go on , " )—and though he had Dot hitherto publicly advocated the Charter , yet his opinions were so well known as not to be
misunderstood . ( Great cheers . ) They had seen the Corn Law agitation commenced two years ago , and commmenced just at the time when the Charter was about to take its winning and widening way in the country . ( Lond cheers . ) There were very great suspicionsat the time whether the Corn Lav agitation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise . ( Loud cries of " No , no , " from the Foxes . ) Now , after two years of agitation , where wero they 1 If they had supported tho Charter for that time , would Peel have dared to dismiss the Parliament for fivo months . ( Shouts of " No , no , " and loud cheers . With such a union of agitation they might have had
an arn . y that neithtr Whigs nor Tories could have stood against . ( Tremendous cheering . ) That meeting ought to consider in what way they could best obtain their rights . They had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found it would sot answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not come to the Chartists , because they would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick at , they should say , at once , this association will go the whole length as a Chartist Association . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He concluded by moving " That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Charter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , and threw the whole " League " nearly into convulsions . )
Mr . Andrew Gardner wa ? received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motioa , said he thought the storm had new commenced , but , whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoped every man would be allowed a fair hearing . Thi 3 was the second act of the Marshall ' s mill meeting ; that was pot up to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought he could wheedle the Chartists well ; with only two exceptions , every speaker then present avowed themselves for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to unite the middle and lower classes . ( Hear , hear . ) Had the HoHsehold Suffrago succeeded ? ( Shouts of •* Nono . ")
, VVV 1 V * a-. 1 V *¦ a * _ * . . _ m ¦ f Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back ! Why did not their Association come out at once for the whple Charter \ Why should not they all unite on an eqaality of rights ? ( Great cheering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but denied the jpraticability of getting it . ( Cries of " We can get it . ' ) He Baid it was possible tb gei it , but they would get nothing less than the Charter , because tbe Chartists would not agitate for any mortal thing lesa than the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the best man amongst the middle classes , and he believed no one had been worse treated by the Whur oartv than Colonel
Thompson had been . He had avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he would abide by it . ( Hear , h \^ c ^ eera > Th ere was •¦ gentleman who Bhoald have been there , who was sot there . Where was Mr . Roeback ! ( Cheen , « proar , and cries of u He dare not come !") He was a Universal Suffrage man , and he had acted a very treasonable part against the people . He thought ne was afraid to come , something like another of taeir friends , he meant Dan . ( LoudBhontsof "No , no . " ) He ought to make a tour throngh tbe country , and submit his conduct to a to to of censure or of . thanks in every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither Whigs nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . H If

We " calculate" he wants to travel at ah easy rate to himself through England , and has found the League sufficiently gullible to pay his expences . He came out , at the close of his . address , with an exhortation
to temperance . ' , , ' ' Mr . WestlaKe ( a Chartist / was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis , Mr . R . i F . Lees said , they were met there that night , not to speak as to particular grievances , but to ask on what principles they were to unite in order to get all their wrongs redressed . ( Load cheers ) What said Col . Thompson 1 He said that , because the . manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of the aristocraoy , were Buffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object of resolution second ? To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he would ask , when those laws were destroyed , did not the interest of tho manufacturing aristocrats
cease to be identified with their interests 1 ( Loud cheers . ) Then ha would ask them , calmly , and seriously , what pledge had they , when the Corn Laws were destroyed and the pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along . with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objects 1 ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen 1 aud he was afraid that Echo would answer , Where ( Laughter . ) That was a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and ( hey severed the principle of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked thorn to give their voices , and declare in Court and Parliament that the great practical erievance was
the Corn Laws . Their reply was , Give us our rights , our votes , aud we will destroy that aud every other grievance . ( Enthusiasticcheering ) If they were rational enough to give their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repeated cheers . ) Though they might assist them to destroy the Corn Laws ia two or three years , when that was done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers , ) Mr . Curtis said the instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Corn Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when the greatest of praotioal grievances was perpetrated without it ! He was a thoroughgoing
Kadtcal , a C hartist , if they liked the name . He was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Chritt , and he maintained that the praotioal axiom of all Hie was " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud obeera . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from tho powerful aristocracy of the country , a repeal of tho Com Laws , which raised the rents , which supplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Mr . Thos . Plint rose under greatly oxcited feelings , and first endeavoured to bully , then to coax tho meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst great interruption , and mad « s a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chairman then put the amendment and the original resolution to tho meeting , when there was a
tremendous majority in favour of the amendment . This , however , did not satisfy the " League , " and a proposition was made that the two parties should diride themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room to the right of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This was acceded to after some demur , and the two parties having taken their respective positions , the number in favour of the amendment appeared to be more than four to one as compared with those in favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Cbairmau , however , when he had got the meeting divided , again went through the ceremony of taking a show of hands , and this having satisfied him , he declared the amendment carried .
Thi 3 announcement was received with tremendous cheering , clapping of hands , < fec , which lasted fur some minutes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . " Dr . Smiles then moved , and Mr . Andrew Gardener seconded , a vote of thanks to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been given for O ' Connor , for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o'clock .

We had truly a grand proof « f the vast superiority of the power of reason and argament over threats and physical violence , against which we were carefully cautioned . We hope to have the opportunity of hearing our highly talented friend more frequently , and to this purpose we pray heartily that his health may be preserved , that not only we , but tho surrounding districts , may be made partakers of the privilege whenever the important duties of his office will permit of his delivering a lecture or preaching a sermou .
