- — ? THE RAGE OF THE MILLIONAIRES . ^ The course pursued by slippery Peel , with reference to the eliding scale , and the " Total Repeal , " has exasperated the MiUionare Masters and their tools into frantic madness ; or , at all events , they want folks to believe so . isvery means will be used to "kick up a ferment . " The men who could so lately throw up their caps , and shout , and petition and labour with all their little might , for little Lord Joh . Vs eisht-shillings- ^^ -dnty-free-trade-in
oorn scheme , will Jaffect indignation ' the most intense at Peel ' s supposing them capable oflistening to any thing , or agreeing to anything , or permitting anything to be passed , but " Total Repeal . " In all probability we shall have some famous exhibitions of ** strong . language , " " nervous appeals , " " excellent recommendations , " and " anmeasurcd denunciations , " if the people will but humour the hmgry crew so far as to listen to them . The
tricks that were played off during the humbug Reform" agitation will be again attempted-Whether Bristol and Nottingham have been ' again selected as the theatres of the Whig * torch-men ' s' " atrocities , we cannot say , not being in their secrets ; but that these things would not be aj ali scrap ed at to serve Whig purposes , we have sufficient evidence in the first number of the Chronicle which ha 3 issued from the press since the development of Peel ' s scheme .
Tiie dirty wretch who performs the work of tne millionaires , commences his article by saying : — " We almost dread to try the patience of the nation , fey a conuminlcatJon of the scheme gravely proposed last znght by Sir Kjbsrc PeeL" - ?~ And he concludes his diatribe iby ¦ pretending Jto entreat tie public to continue the ^ praiseworthy conduct which has met so poor a jequital . " The sehenie , " says he , " we know , is calculated to incense them ; but we trust they will bear with their wrongs . We entreat more especially all influential persons to exert themselves to moderate the-resentment of those whom their sufferings may have made desperate . Let th « n remind the people that in passing the bciL , ^ daries of the laic , they only pur weapon ? ir . io the ban is of their oppressors . "
Now , ichy all this entreaty ? Who 13 talking j Mr . Chronicle , of " passing the boundaries of the law ? "' Who drsams of such a thing \ None but the Anti-Corn Law League . ; these ^ influential" friends of yours , Mr . Chronicle ^ who are so significantly called upon " to exert themselves to moderate (?) the resentment of those whose sufferings may have made them DESPERATE I ' No one else , certainly , thinks of ¦ " passing the boundaries of the law ! " We assure you
that the public , " when they think of " passing the boundaries of the law" for a political measure , will look fcr one in which they have some interest > not for ** Total Repeal , " which , under present circumstances , would confer lens / it only npon _ the Millionaire llillocrats , and perfect buis upon the Labourers , both agricultural and manufacturing . No , no , 3 Ir . Chronicle . It will be of no use , / or your " influential persons to exert themselves" to this end . " The public" will but laugh at you ! "
Ii id unnecessary that we shonld caution the people against ihe " tricks of the traders / ' It is unnecessary that we should bid them remember that while * ho " iLSuentiai persons" who " exerted themseive 3 10 moderate Uj the resentment of' the DESPERATE" at Bristol and Nottingham , escaped scet-free from hsxm and secured their < ntn political ends , the poor < inpe 3 whom they incited to " DESPERATION" were hanged ! and transported . It is unnecessary that we should ask them to look on with coolness , and watch the antics of the wretches who so lately crammed into
their gaols and Infernal Hell-holes five hundred working men , for asking for a political measure that would have benefit-ted tha people ! It is unnecessary that we should bid them to take care that if there be any " passing of the boundaries of the law , " it shall be xhe ililiionaries themselves who so transgress j and that they do not permit a single working man to be pushed forward l > y the " influenuals , ' " into a posiuon of danger or harm . It is quite unnecessary that we fihouid do any of these thing 3 . The people have set their hearts upon their own work ; they have resisted
all the attempts of the League to seduce them from the allegiance they owe to their own order ; and they are not now going to permit themselves to be made the tools of the " influential" who are eo kindly bidden to " moderate (?) the resentment of the DESPERATE . " No , no ' . The people will leave the rniirwnaire millocrats and the aristocracy to fight out by themselves the battle they have entered upon ; while they prosecnte their Gvm ends . Bee to the signing of their own
NATIONAL , and prepare for the due assembling of their own Convention , to erge upon the " Parliament" the / Onini g of
4 , 000 , 000 OF PEOPLE ! ! . And 10 do this , they will need no "influential persons"' to " exert themselves to moderate (?) the reserdmntt of the DESPERATE ! " They know their own work ; they know their own power ; they will use that power only for the accomplishment of their own work , not the work of faction ; and if the ** Leaguers" desire to get out of their " desperate " Struggle with their brother marauders of the aristocracy , without defeat , they must lay aside their
exclusive class pretensions , and " league'' with the people for right—the right of the whole people—the right of the People ' s Charter . The people will be on the alert , and stick the Charter right bang under the nose of every mother ' s son of them that dares to ask for popular support against Peel , and for u Total RepeaL" Make them swallow the whole hog entire—bristles , snout , and all ! ! No mutilation ! no qualification ! The whole Charter , and no less !

KOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thorsdat . TheSr- ? aker took the Chair at four o ' otcL Avast number of petitions were presented against the Core Laws , and some unimportant orders of the dav wtre disposed of . Colon-. ' ! Sibthorp wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury a very important question relative to the resolutions which were proposed to ths House last night . It was whether it was the intention of her Msj- ^ ty ' s Government to make any alterations with regard to the manner in which the "duties are now taken ? whether they were to be taken when the corn comes into the country , or wheR it is taken out of bond . Sir Robert Peel said there was no- alteration contemplated by her Majesty ' s Government .
Col . Sibthorp then gave notice that he should call the attention of the Committee appointed to investigate this matter to that very important point . Lord Johx Russell said there was a different law with reaard to the importation of flour into Ireland lad England ; for when the admission was prohibited in Ireland , h was allowed in England . He wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to introduce into the Corn Laws that clause which prohibited tie importation of flour into Ireland , or whether the same law would apply both to England and Ireland . This subject was one of great interest to the Irish , but if the Right Hon . Baronet was not prepared to answer the question at present , he ( Lord John Russell ) would not press for an immediate reply .
Sir R . Peel said he had reserved that point foraaother question : he would endeavonr to answer the inquiry on Monday next . AMENDMENT ON THE MINISTERIAL PLAN . Lord Johx Russell gave notice that on Monday pert , before the House went into Committee on the

Corn Law ? , he should move a resolution , the precise words of which he could not give now , but the substance of which would be that in any contemplated alteration of the Corn Laws , it would be inadvisable to adopt the principle of a slidiDg scale . ( Hear . ) An Hon . Member , whose name we could not iearn , gave notice that on Thursday , the 24 th instant , he should move for a return of the total amount of money received from the ChineBe for the ransom of Canton . , Mr .

LAMBETH MEN AT THEIR POST AGAIN . A public meeting , to petition Parliament fer a repeal of tbe Corn ~ L % ws , and to elect delegates to the Corn Law Conference , was held on Tuesday night last , at the British School Room , G-aorge Street , Lanikflth . J . Richardson , Esq ., was called to the chair , and opened the business by stating the objects of the meeting in a suitable speecb . Mr . Wyles came forward to move the first resolution , to the effect " That the present depressed state of trade , and the misery which existed in the country , ¦ were to be attributed to the existing Corn Laws , and that tbe meeting should pledge itself to advocate the repeal thereof . " Mr . \ V . Hawes seco : ded the reselution , and made use of the usual arguments adduced against the Corn Laws , at the conclusion of -which
Mr . HlUE rose to propose an amendment . He looked npen that discussion as a large cake . Tbe Chairman began to nibble at tbe side of it , and was followed by the others , who had pretty nearly nibbled all round the cake . ( Laughter . ) He ( Mr . Hind ) -would show them , j f they would but listen to him for five minutes , that he would eat right through it ( Cheers , and laughter . ) He liked and prfzed a large loaf as well as any man , for he was a teetotaller , and he liked plenty of tea . j A voice—" With ram in it" ) ( Loud laughter . ) The Chairman had told them that they-would have certain resolutions . He had told them that they might get , by the repeal of these Food Laws , meat at 2 . . d . per pound ; but did he n ^ t know there were thousands of labeuring men , both agricultural : ind
ma . EtuV . ctuiing , -who -were unable to procure meat at all , and who never would , under the present system ? ¦ Loud cheers . ) "What was the price of meat to the poor -weaver of Carlisle , or the cloth weaver of Leeds , who had about 2 id . ptr day lor the support of his children and hinxseif ?—( hear . ) How -was that man to get two or three pounds of meat , even though it -svtre but 2 id- a pound , -while he could not even got bread , and while the present system lasted he nev ^ r would —( cheers . ) The Chairman had further said , that notwithstanding all the demonstrations made te Parliament , of the starvation prevailing ; notwithstanding all this privation , they -would not rrpal those laws . He ( Mr . Hiud ) would ask whether tke present Parliament was more likely to repeal
them than the former one ? S . t then alluded te the bribery used at the late election , end stated that there ¦ were at that time sixty eases before Parliament of petitions against elections . This country was in the same position aa France before the Revolution , by the system of class legislation —( loud cheers . ) Look to Louis the Fourteenth ' s lime , and his glorious wars , together -with that of his successor Louis the Fifteenth . At that time the nobility -were high in tbe land , and contributed nothing to the taxes , all of which fell on the people . Tne aristocracy of this country -were going on in the same way , and soon they -would place England in the same position as France was then—( cheers . ) He knew that the agricultural population
had been for the last fifty years in a state of starvation —( hear . ) Ho had beeu in Hampshire last autumn , and he -was then in a village , and he was met * -with such complaints as these— " My husband has been out of -work for the last aine -weeks ; "we are starving "—and there were hundreds of such cases . Talk of the Christian religion , let them have justice ? ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The anti-Corn Law people were under a mistake . If the Corn Laws were repealed to-morrow they would i ;; ive bread but a very little cheaper , they -would only have the amount of food they could not produce themselves—iheai , hear . ) They could not employ all the ¦ world for that What they wanted -was a reform of the system -which enabled the Peels and the Marshal Is to accumulate millions while others are left to starve .
( Loud enters . ) He -would not give a farthing fer a system that did not prevent a man dying -with six miilkns of money , and at the same time prevent another man dying of starvation . ( A voice , " Could you ?") Yes , I could , ( said Mr . Hine ) have 1 not told you how , you bloekhead ?—( cheers , uproar , and laughter . ) The amendment he had to propose was , "That the feeling of the meeting is decidedly hostile to all monopoly , whether in commerce or legislation , -whether in corn , timber , sug ^ r , or in the religleus and civil institutions . This meeting is therefore of opinion , that the Corn Laws-are wicked , andpassed by&nusnrpingParliament aa well as the sugar and timber prohibitions , together
with every other monopoly , and ought to be totally and unconditionally repealed ; and , to prevent any Future enactment of taat or any similar pernicious scheme , this meeting is further of opinion , that , in order to prevent this , and save the people from class legislation , radical reform in Parliament is imptrioDsly demanded . That all present evils and future ones can be prevented by no other machinery than the adoption of that great , dear , and comprehensive document—the Peoples ' s Charter . " Mr . Bkow > " seconded the resolution in a lucid manner , showing the fallacies adduced in favour of the present scheme .
Mr . G . Hvggett proposed another amendment , which he ultimately withdrew in favour of the " whole hog" one . Mr . Sew ell supported the amendment in . favour of the -whole Charter , in an able speech , which the Chairman acknowledged to be carried by a large majority . The Rev . Mr . Hi ' DS 0 > " same forward to propose a resolution te the following effect : — " That this meeting do petition Parliament for the immediate repeal of the Corn Li-ws . " The Rrv . Mr . Squires seconded the motion . Mr . Raixslet moved as an amendment , " That this meeting adopt the National Petition instead of the one proposed . "
- > lr . Ross seconded the amendment , -which -was supported by Mr . Peat , and carried by a large majority . The following gentlemen -were then proposed as delegates to the Corn Law Confertnce : —John Fell Christie , Esq . ; John M'Leod , Esq . ; T&mea Richardson , Esq . ; an » Joseph Hume , E * q . The Chairman -was about to propose them to the meeting , -when Mr . Taylor moved an amendment , " That Mr . Benjamin Huggett , Mr . Kainsley , Mr . Ros 3 , and Mr . Hine be sent as deli gates instead of those first proposed . " Mr . Jago seconded the amendment , -which was carried by a large majority . The Chaibman then hanged the delegates their credentials , stating that the Corn Law League had passed a resolution stating " That no person should be admitted as delegates who were elected at public meetings where Chartist resolutions were paBsed . "
A vote of thanks was then passed to tbe Chairman , and the meeting separated highly delighted to perceive that the days of humfeug are passed . The deput ition attended next morning at the Crown and Anchor , and waited three hours while the committee -were deciding whether they should be admitted , and -were immedately informed , " That the constitution of the meeting that elected them would not admit of their being received . " The deputation -were abruptly forced back on their first presenting themselves , by a person -who kept the " gang-way" -with a cudgel in his hand , but were afterwards treated with more courtesy

LONDON . —Chabtist Triumph and Shameful Conduct op the anti-Corn Law Party . —By a report in another part of our paper , tbe reader will be aware of the Chartist triumph at the anti-Corn Law meeting , on Friday evening , at the Literary Institution , Princes-street On that evening , Mr . Leader , M . P ., previously to his leaving the chair , announced that another meeting -would be held at the same place , on Tuesday , tbe 8 th , when ample time would be allowed for discussion . Mr . Sidney Smith also announced the meeting for Tuesday evening . The Chartists of the Western district , unwilling to lose this opportunity of showing to their feilow-working men the superiority of the agitation for the Charter over tha isolated free trade sy&tsm , mustered in considerable
force . Although it was a wet evening , yet by eight o ' clock an immense crowd -was collected round the doors of the Institution , -where they -were informed that so meeting upon the Corn Laws was to take place , but that a lecture on chemutry was to be delivered to the members of the Institution . Belitving this to be a deception , and the crowd continually increasing , Mr . Leigh was deputed to ascertain the reason of this shameful breach of public faith , when it was discovered tfi , in consequenoe of their defeat on the previous evening , a select committee had met on the Saturday , and put eff the meeting sine die—great disappointment being exptvBBed at the conduct of Sidney Smith and the committee . Mr . Leigh addressed the meeting , and moved its adjournment to the Craven Head , Drury
Lane , which was unanimously agreed to , and that tavern was speedily crowded to exeeat . every avenue being literally blocked up . Mr . Kuffy Ridley was then called to the chair . Mr . Parker moved the following resolution : — " fnat this meeting hereby express their unqualified disapprobation of the conduct of Sidney Smith and the Committee of the anti-Com Law Association , in announcing a meeting to be held at the Literary Institution , TriBoes-street , to dl » cu » s the merits of the Corn Laws , and when the audience assembled they were disappointed , by finding tbe place of meeting closed against them , thereby proving to demonstration that they were afraid to meet the public hi opea discussion . " Mr . Wilton ably seconded this resolution , which was supported by Messrs . Ford ,

Wheeler , and Whaley , and carried with one dissentient . Mr . H . Leigh then delivared an able , spirited , and eloquent lecture on the fallacies of the free trade system , ' completely demolishing the cobweb sophistry in which the anti-Corn Law leaders have entangled themselves and their adherents , and challenged them , one and all , to meet him in fair discussion at Exeter Hall , or any other place of public resort . Mr . Leigh was tremendously cheered during the whole of his excellent address . At its conclusion , Mr . Parker moved , and Mr . Osborne seconded , in able speeches , the adoption of the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the only Dractical and
beneficial method of repealing the Corn Laws 1 b by causing the People ' s Charter to become the law 0 / the land . " Mr . Griffiths and another gentleman made some remarks in opposition , -which were ably replied to by Messrs Wheeler , Parker , M'Frederick , and Leigh . The resolution-was then unanimously carried . Votes of thanks were given to the landlords of the house for their uniform kindness in granting to the working classes the use of their spacious rcoms , and likewise to the Chairman and lecturer . The meeting then adjourned until the next anti-Corn Law meeting , if , after this shameful flight , they should have the effrontery to call one .
Tailors , Red Lion , King-street , Golden Square . —Mr . Ridley kctnred here on Sunday evening . Subject—" The British Constitution" The lecture -was highly applauded . The ballot in this locality is in favour of Messrs . M'Douall , Parker , and Fassell . * Great Chartist Meeting in the Borough of GREENWICH . — -Placards -were issued convening a meeting to be held in the rooms of the Lord Duncan , Broadway , Deptford , and stating that the borough Members had been invittd and were expected to attend , on Tuesday evening , February 8 th . At a quarter past seven , Mr . Douglas was unanimously ca led to the chair . The spacious room -was densely crowded and a great number waiting that cpald not gain admission . An adjournment -was moved and carried , to a large outhouse , boarded , ceiled , and lighted with gas , capable at least
of holding one thousand persons . This immediately became so densely crowded that the windows were obliged to be thrown open to admit air , mauy standing on the outside . The Chairman read the numerously signed requisition and placard convening the meeting . ( Cries of " Are the members for the borough present ?") Chairman—They are net present , neither have they sent a reply to the letters requesting their attendance . ( Shouts of " They may look out when they want our voles . " ) He thin called on Mr . Joseph Morgan to move the first resolution , " That this meeting views with regret and alarm the present unparalleled distressed state of the country , and it ia our opinion a remedy can only be found by the millions inquiring into the present defective state of the representation . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Paris and supported by Mr . Maynard . Mr . Stanley moved toe second resolution as follows ;—
"That thismetting is of opinion that the source of all the evils which affect , the commuuity is ta be traced to class legislation , and that no efficient remedy will ever be applied until the principles cf the People ' s Charter shall become the law of the land . This meeting therefore adopt the National Petition praying that . U principles shall become Jaw . " He would content himse . f with so doing , and leave it t j more able meu to support Mr .. Dayies seconded the resolution . Mr . Stallwood was now called on amid cheers tu support tbe resolution . He spoke at some length , and at the conclusion of his speech , Dr . Drury rose in the midst of the meeting . ( Loudjcries of " platform . " ) He was at length allowed t > proceed where he was . He said the measures the speaker had advocated could only be
obtained at the point of the bayonet . ( Loud shouts of " nonsense , humbug '" &c . ) The meeting could not see the danger , the risk , and confusion of carrying it ; be would repeat it could only be carried by brute force . ( Interruption . ) Mr . Stallwood rose and obtained an hearing for the Doctor ; after iterating and reiterating what he had previously stated , he sat down amidst a shout of derisive laughter . Mr . Stallwood , amid loud cheering , replied to and refuted the objections mooted by Dr . Drury , showing that the Reform Bill and Catholic Emancipation had been carried without a resort to brute force ; and as from the people sprung alike thu soldier , policeman , and the money which paid an »\ continued their existence ; let them only desirt their freedom , and they would discover the truth of Lafayette ' s
maxim , " that for a nation to be free 'twas sumcient that she wiil'd it" ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously , amidst deafening acclamations of applause . Mr . Dodd then read and moved the adoption cf the National Petition , seconded by Mr . Knight The pttition was then put and carried by acclamation , Dr . Drury being tbe only dissentient Mr . Finh moved tbe following address on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all political prisoners : — "May it please your Majesty , we , your Majesty ' s subjects , inhabituifc of the borough of Greenwich , in public meeting assembled , beg leave ta approach your Majesty , eotreatingyour Majestyjto murk t ^ e auspiciom event of toe christening of the Royal Prince , by granting a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , and ali
political prisoners ,-which will bo hailed with joy and thankfulness by millions of your much oppressed people . " Mr . Keen cordially seconded the address . Mr . Illingwotth , from Leeds , supported the address Mr . Dillon , another Irishman like Dr . Drury , said they were not in a condition to pass tbe resolution pjopaundtd ; a commission of lunacy ought to be issued against its propounders . Mr . Palmer , u tradesman of tbe Borough , rose and said , I promised the gentleman if I heard a single reason in favour of his amendment , I would second it I have listened in vain ; he has advanced none- ( Loud cheers . ) He has told you this was not a . meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough ; this was a very large room , but certainly not large
enough . Had it been the month of June instead of the mouth of February , and we could have met under the canopy of heaven , he bad no doubt we should have had 20 , 000 persons present iGreat app'ause , ) He was foud of instruction—an enthusiast in favour of education . He had made inquiries of the learned and instructed , and could not discover a single error in the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Fteling as he did the full force of their beauty , justice , and truth , if he lost the whole of his customers tomorrow be would retain his opinions , and continue a Chartist ( Loud applause ) The address was then put and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then given to the chainnun , a great number of signatures added to the petition , and the meeting dispersed .

HULL . PUBLIC MEETING , ln FREEMASON'S HALL , ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED COTTON SPINNERS . Considerable excitement has been prevalent in Hull , for some few days back , in consequence of the turn out of the weavers , and , ultimately , we understand , of all the hands employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills . About three years ago , one of the Hells of modern
civilization , a Cotton Mill was erected in the Groves , a joint-stock concern , upon a somewhat extensive scale , the property of a company of speculators , most of them entirely ignorant of the business , and conducted in all its practical operations , by a Manager , whose business , of course , was to see that whatever became of the " workies , " the " Capital" of the Company should return a fair per centage , besides paying his and his assistants' salaries , the amount of which we do not know , though we have been told that they are enormous .
Factory workers were induced , by representations of good wages and plenty of work , to immigrate from the factory districts of Cheshire and Lancashire , only to find out that they had made an exchange greatly for the worse . The poor creatures struggled with their fate for a long time in silence ; but the patience even of Englishmen does not always last , and they , at length , made a show of resistance in the shape of a " turnout . " During the past week placards were issued , of which the following is a copy : —
" Tyranny , oppression , and reduction , at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills!!—An appeal of the turn-out cotton weavers , of the above mills , to the inhabitants t HuiL—Friends , and Brother Operatives , —It is with feelings of deep regret , that we have to inform you of some of the over-bearing acts of oppression which has been imposed npon ub for a , considerable length of time at the above factories , and the present attempt of the manager to oppress us still further ; which is the cause of our present turn-out . For a long time our wages have been lowering by degrees ; and they are now such miserable pittances that they will scarcely keep us from starring ; being on average , for a tworloom weaver , ( a class of -workpeople from sixteen to fifty years of
age ) , noS more than six shillings per week ; and for which , we have to labour hard from twelve to fourteen hours per day . The master thinking these good wages ' too much , now makes another attempt to lower them still more ; the circumstances of which , are as follows : — Early last week , there were put npon tbe looms , what are called " self-acting temples , " which are to » s of no benefit whatever , but for which , the manager told us that our good wages' would be reduced , by taking therefrom , to tho amount of twopence in the shilling Having pat up with reductions like this , time after time , we determined to do so no longer ; and the whole of ns that were favoured' with the self-acting temples , ' immediately left out work' and appointed a deputation to wait upon the manager , to try if they could
reason with him , and show him the injustice which he wanted to inflict npon us ; accordingly the deputation waited upon him , whom he called a Bet of madmen , who did not know when they had good masten ; that their wages were reduced on account of the accursed Corn Laws ! ! That they had ' good wagea' still j that he would not be talked to by them ; and that they were to be off about their business , as he had nothing more to say . In this condition are we placed by the grinding influence of Mammon . We would also state , that in all other cotton districts 'where the self-acting temples" are used , the workmen re ceive better wages than we did without them ; in fact , our wagas generally are considerably lowei . For insUnc * , we receive for weaving 73 yards , Is . 5 d ., and for the very nine kind of woik In Lancashire , Che
Untitled Article
shire , &c , the workmen receive for weaving 60 yards , la . 8 d . ; and some of our fellow-workmen have been reduced in their wages , -within the last fifteen months , to the amount of 16 s . per week , and yet onr masters say we are well paid . ' And having been entrapped here , by lying agents , from the cotton districts of Lineashire and Cheshire , we have been used worse than brutes ; the manager knowing there is no other factory for us to flee to in this district . Numerous acts of diabolical tyranny , which we have not room to mention , here , will be given you in hand-bills . To conclude , we now beg to solicit your assistance , hoping thereby that we may be enabled to resist suck infamous tyranny and
oppression , and trust that we stall not make this appeal to your sympathies In vain . Authorised persons , appointed by the ' Relief Committee , ' will attend upon benevolent persons of all classes , to give ' every necessary information , and to solicit their pecuniary aid . Signed , by arder , S . Healey * hon . see . Committae Room , Groves , February 1 st , 1842 . ' Much excitement was : produced by the appearance of these placards ; and an attempt at a contradiction to their statements was made ia the If till Rockingham . Anxious to afford every opportunity for inquiry and investigation , the men made arrangements for a public meeting on the Monday evening , which was convened by tho following
placard :-" Oppression Exposed } f The Inhabitants of Huil are respectfully informed , that a public meeting will be held in the Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytohgate , on Monday evening next , February 7 tb , 1842 , to eommence at half-past seven o'clock , when a full and correct exposure will be given of the horrid ainJ almcst unparalleled treatment practised by the nianuger upon the cotton weavers , ice , at the Hull Fiax and cotton mills . Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the door , to support thu cotton weavers ou strike . "
The spacious hall , capable of holding more than 100 Q persons , was crowded to excess . Mr . Samuel Healy was called to tho chair . The Chairman read tho placard calling the meeting , and also a long statement of facts of the most appalling character , in reforence to oppressions of the poor weavers and spinners in this don of horrors . Mr , Jams Hastington then addressed the meeting at sonie leugtli , after which the following resolution was moved by Mr . Lundy , and seconded by Mr . Matthews : — "That this meeting having heard with deep regret , the appalling statements that have been made re . pecting the horrid oppressionsjpractised upon the woricmen employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills , by the manager thereof , do sympathise with the men , and pledges itself . to support them in their strike against unparalleled oppres-ion . " It was supported by Air . Hornsby aud others , and carried unanimously .
Mr . Lundy then moved , and Mr . Hohnsby seconded another resolution , to the effect that a report bo inserted iu . tfie ' . Star , to caution the Lancashire people against being allured to the cotton mills of Hull . The Chairman made an appeal to the meeting , on behalf of the turnouts , after which the followiug resolution was moved , seconded , and carried unanimously : — . "That the thanks of this meeting arc due to Mr . Samuel Healey , lor h « ying so | promptly rendered assistance to our fellow townsmen in giving publicity to their base usage , through the press . " Mr . Healey replied briefly to the resolution . A great impression was made on the meeting by the appalling Statement of facts . A collection wa 3 made for the weavers at the door .
We do hope that these suffering men-will not be permitted by the virtuous , and , generally speaking , well-off population of Hull , to be borne aewn in this struggle with an insidious and powerful foe : we would also extend this appeal to their brethren of the factory districts in Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire . Bad as the condition of the factory people in these districts is , their brethren of Hull are in a worse condition . Do not , then , suffer the insatiate monster , ' capital , ' to make even that worse still . We are glad to learn that at the meetingon Monday night , almost every speaker , instanced the ' present as another of the many evidences why the people should be unanimous in their demand for the Charter as the only efficient measure of protection .

OLPHAM . —Public Meeting otf the Corn Laws . —Ti is long-anticipated meeting was convened by a requisition ^ numerously signed , and was held on Wednesday evening last . The announcement was given by large flaming bills ^ and the affair haying been long in contemplation , had been the means of creating extraordinary excitement betwixt the
Chartists and the Corn Law repealers . The Chartist Committee had , from the commencement , understood from the opposite party that full , fair , free , and equal discussion would be allowed , and that each party would be allowed to invite what amount of talent they thought necessary to support the views of the respective parties on the subject ! also that proper time would be given to every speaker , and the contest bo justly regulated as to have man for man .- It was , therefore , thought by the Chartist Committee that the great guns of the League would be present . They on their part invited Messrs . West , Bell , Clarke , and Griffin to support the Charter . Tho time announced for commencement of business was seven o ' clock ; but long before
that hour large numbers were wending their way to the Town Hall , the place of meeting , and when the doors were thrown open there was a general rush to gain admittance , whilst the respectables came in by a side door and monopolised the platform and front seats . Considerable noise and confusion took place , before a chairman could be appointed ; and at length Mr . John Brierley-was | duly eleotedi It was then made known to the committee and meeting that the partiescallingthemeetinghadinvitednojextra talent ; on these grounds strangers were prevented speaking . By this previously concerted trick they vrere enabled to bring their own speakers ready prepared to the meeting ; while the Chartists' arrangements were all thrown into disorder : they bavins arranged for
two townsmen to move and second an amendment if necessary ; but depending for discussion on the strangers present by invitation . To meet ihe exigency speakers had how to be ealled from the meeting , unprepared of course with , documents or any means of argument than their general knowledge of the subject . Notwithstanding all , howeverr , the Chartist amendment moved by Mr . Crowder , and seconded by Mr . Smethurst , vu carried by a considerable majority : though of bourse the League man in the chair deolared it lost . The speeches of the Anti-Corn Law orators were of a character to deprecate as much aa possible the perseverance of the Chutists . Much dissatisfaction wa » expressed at the partial and unfair dftfiifiioa of the Chairman .

"" - ^^ - ^—^ . ^^ — ' ^*—^* TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SiB , ^—Will yo u allow me to trespass on your columns by making a few observations in your next Saturday ' s Star ? And first , allow me to remark , tba > I am a stvenuoua advocate for TJniversal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , and , in skort , the whole of the claims set up by the supporters of the People ' s Charter . I have thought it beBt to make these few preliminary remarks to obviate any misconception , as to the motives of tbe writer in advancing the following ftw short remarks on a subject in which I am aware the Chartists in general do not coincide . I allude to the subject of the Corn Laws . ¦ ¦ ¦ . . ... ¦ ¦¦ - .: .. ¦ ; . - These laws , I believe , are allowed by the great body of your numerous readers , and of the party to which you belong in general , to be not only a great national evil , but a palpable and barefaced fraud committed by tbe privileged few at the expense of the oppressed and deeply injured'mauy .
Taking it for granted that , the position I have assumed will not be controverted by the vast mass of the industrious population of Great Britain , I shall , here take leave to question the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the Anti-Corn Law League , and the Corn-Law Repealers in general . My grounds far so doing are as follows : —It appears perfectly clear and satisfactory , to myself , lit least , that , taking into consideration the position and resources of rulers—I mean the landed Aristocracy—it is utterly and totally impossible to reptal these obnoxious laws , with' tb » franchise consli- ' tiited as it is at present ; the game to be played being in the hands of the vtry legislators who have a vital interest in their being suffered to exist in ; th * eir present (
tbthem ) convenient shape . Assuming , then , this to be correct , and taking into consideration the greattdepression in trade , pressing with a giant ' s grasp at the life and existence of every . branch and ramification of the commercial system , and' threatening its annihilation , I would ask whether it is not natural that the trading interest should feel-a desire for the removal of that pressure which is crippliug its resources and destrcying its being ? a position which many , I may say mo&t of the nianufiicturers and tradespeople , attribute to the bane- ' ful operation of the Corn Laws . I shall Anticipate your unswer by assuming it to be in the affirniaUve . It then foilowjs , as a matter of course , that if my premiBes are so far correct , tW queation at issue will stand thus •—
It is essential , in the views of the commercial world , that to preserve the trade of the country the Corn Laws should be repealed . Granted : but this cannot be done without an extension of the suffrage ; er ^ o , the agitatiou of the Corn Law question is of immense benefit and advantage to the claimants of the Charter , by serving aa a means—and a capital one too ^ r-to enlighten those now opposed to their views by showing that their only chance of redress is to join their ranks—the folly of thinking to obtain their rights without it being too
apparent to admit of either question or cavil ; and , ergo , that on these grouads—selfish' ones if you like to call them so—if on no other , oil parties ought to join iu-. the repeal cry , if only to convince the pretended iiberals , who are actuated only iri their exertions by sordid notions of self-aggrandisemer . t , that they are building on a Bandy foundation ; and , ergo , that " the propriety and good sense of the Chartist opposition to the movements of the anti-Corn Law League , and tbe Corn Law repealers in general , " is by no means apparent , and wants
confirmation" Quod erat demonstrandum . " My lettsr has extended to a greater length than I intended when I commenced ; but if its insertion in your paper meets with your approbation ^ it will oblige , Your obedient servant , Brotus . Hey wood , 2 nd February , 1842 .
