BRADFO 3 D . — Glorious Triumph of the Chartists over the Complete Suffrage Stusgites . —L ) n Tuesday last a meeting of those who called themselves memorialists , was convened in the Temperance Hall , Bradford , to commence at 7 o ' clock in the evening . The place is calculated to hold from 1 , 500 to 2000 people , and was crammed to suffocation . A report got in circulation during the day , that it was the intention of sodt ; of the parties to hold the meeting at 4 o ' clofV ' . jisi , ead of 7 ; and afc thathonr the doors wr 1-- " -. sieged and continued to be so until six o ' clock , v . -11 the doors wereihTi v . -re thrown open , but so im } .-tient were the people 10 gain admittance that it was impossible for the parties appointed to collect the tickets of admission , and they gave up
the attempt to do so . The committee met in the saloon of the Hall , when they agreed that in consequence of the tyranny of the meeting io forcibly entering the Hall , that they would not hold the meeting . A deputation was sent fc > them to remonstrate with them on the impropriety of such a step but without effect . The committee adjourned to the hay-loft , ( a name generally given to their Association room ) , Leeds-road-end . It was now dark and the people remained firm to their post ; it was pat to the meeting whether" the business for which they were called together should be proceeded with in the absence of the Committee , or that they should adjourn . It was bo dark that it was im " possible to see who held up their hands for or
against ; they determined to take the sense of the meetisg by hearing . All those that wero in favour of proceeding with the business were -xt quested to signify their assent by saying aye , " when such a volley of ayes was sent forth as made the ears of the meeting tingle . Those who were opposed to proceeding with the business of the meeting were requested to » ay " no . " We should say there were not more than , from twenty to thirty " that answered " no . " Candles were immediately procured , instead of the h& 3 , which the "Complete Suffrage Committee had refused the meeting the use o f . The meeting decided in sending another deputation to the comxnittee to inform them or their intention of proceeding with the business . After the lanse of about
twenty minutes the deputation n turned , and stated that the committee were coming in a body , and that they had guarobtaed them a fair hearing . The Committee entered , and the gas was immediately lighted . M _ r . Brook proposed H . Forbes , Esq ., to take the chair ; Mr . B y seconded the . monima . tion . Mr . FoTbes was carried , but not unanimously . The Chairman briefly opened the business of the meeting by requesting Mr . Kichols to read the memorial and circular from the Committee at Birmingham . He entered into all the proceedings which they bad adopted at Bradford , hi order to give effect to the memorial . He- sat d » wn by moving that the meeting adopt the memorial , which was seconded . —The Chairman immediately
proceeded to put the motion , but was requested to give a little time . —Mr . Fiinn moved as an amendment , that an instruction from th ] 3 meeting should be given to the delegates , to support the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . The amendment was seconded , but was subsequently withdrawn , as it waa considered out of place by the Chartists on the platform . The memorial was put and carried , but not without a great deal of opposition . Mr . Kenyon then moved a resolution , expressing a desire for a firm and sincere union of lhe middle and working classes . Mr . Kenyon said the meeting at Birmingham was called for the purpose of adopting some plan , whereby they might be enabled to obtain m tho Commons House of
Parliament , a fall , fair , and free representation of the people . He agreed that every man twenty-one years of age ought to be represented , but could not auree with every principle contained in the People ' s Charter . The resolution being seconded was allowed to be passed . —Mr . C . Wilkinson , bookseller , moved that this meeting approves of the steps taken by the Birmingham Committee , in making the move that they had done , and that we also agree to send six delegates to tha Conference at Birmingham . —Mr . Shackleton seconded the motion . —Mr . Fletcher moved as an amendment , " That this meeting ¦ approves of sending six delegates to the Conference at Birmingham , " which was seconded by a great many . The amendment was carried by an
overwhelming majority . —Mr . woodhead then moved , " That Jlr . Osborne , Mr . Nicholl , Mr . Jackson , Mr . Hodgson , Mr . Scarlett , and Mr . Gaunt , should be the delegates . Mr . Bishop seconded the nomination . —Mr . George Fletcher moved asan amendment , " That- the elections be made singly . " —Seconded by Mr . Dewhurst and carried . —Mr . Woodhead then proposed 3 Ir . CVborne , as a fit and proper perstn t 3 be sent to the Conference . Mr . Bishop was hi 3 seconder . Mr . Fletcher wished to ask Mr . Oiborn two questions . Would he , in the Conference at Birmingham , support the principles contained iu tho document called the People ' s Charter and nothing shore , and that without the addition of any other political question 2—Mr . Osborue s-aid that he
cordiaUy agreed with every principle in the Charter , except Annnal Parliament ; he thought Triennial mnch better . —Mr . Fietsher rose and said , that however much he wished for a union of the middle and working classes , he would agree to none that was not based on principle ; tha Charter might be illustrated under the figure of a steam engine that was necessary for ; he completion of some description « f manufacture , and if one shaft was thrown off , the manufacture would necessarily be incomplete ; and if the whole five shafts were thrown off , he wanted to know what would be the nse of the engine running at all 1 So it was with the details of the Charter ; if they destroyed its details they destroyed it altogether . He moved that Mr . Smyth be sent'instead
of Mr . Osborne . —Mr . Smyth answered the question in the affirmative . —Mr . Wilkinson said , if Mr . Smyth was pledged to adopt that course , and that alone , he thought a great deal of useless expence might be saved , by a letter befug sent to the Birmingham Conference , stating that Mr . Smyth would vote for the principles contained in the Charter only . —Mr . Fletcher replied , by saying that suppose Mr . Busfield should be pledged to a repeal of tho Corn Law ? , and nothing short , a letter in that case would do as well as Sir . Busfieid . —The Chairman put Mr . Smyth to the meeticg , when he was elected by an overwhelming majority . He then called for a show of hands for Mr . Osborne ; very few hands were held up for him . He then called for a . show of hands against Mr . Osborne , when nearly every hand was held up against him , and a shout of triumph rung through the meeting . Previous to
putting the resolution , the Chairman comin ; . led on one of the leadiug articles of the Leeds Mercury , the editor of which , Mr . Cobbett—lhe immortal Cobbci- ; , designated " the great liar of the Korth . " —Mr , Forbes fully proved that he still retained the same character unimpaired . He denounced the articlo as unprincipled , malicious , and uugenerous in every respect . He said the intention of the editor was to intimidate the class to which he belonged ; but he hurled dcnaEce in hi ? teeth ; aud he was determined not to be intimidated by either him or any one else . His position in soeit-ty was such that he defied him to injure him . He dwell at great length on the conduct of Mr . Baines trying to prevent the middlo and working classes uniting . —Mr . Woodhead then propo-ed , aud Mr . Biddy seconded , thai Mr . Nichoi should be sent to the confeience . —Mr . Fletcher
proposed the same questions to Mr . ISichol , when t he raid he agreed , froru principle , to cearJy all the ; principles contained in the Charter . He did not : - agree with Annual Parliaments ; and his objections j arose iiom his conviction that the agitation during ; an election would be injurious to trade and com" . merce , hi which he was unfortunately connect-d . ; He could a ^ ree io Biennial Parliaments . He said i he had signed the ^ Naiional Petition ; not because j he agre- d wita it aU , but because he agreed with the I greater portion of it . He declined to stand the eleci tion . —Mr . Byles here attempted to address the meetins , bu ; was a considerable time before he could Obtain a he&iinji - He said he was opposed to the payment of MembeT 3 out of the taxes . If
; they were paid , the constituencies should ! pay them by subscriptions . Mr . Nicholl having I declined , Mr . Jackson was proposed and seconded by M ^ r . Woodhead and Mr . Bishop . —Mr . Fletcher j questioned ^ him , as he had done the others , but his i answer being evasive , Mr . Deivhirst was moved as 1 an amendment , which was carried . —Mr . Bishop j moved Mr . Hodgson , which was seconded . —Mr . ! Fletcher asked him the first question , when his \ answeT was in the affirmative . The second question i — " will you nse your influence to bring over the . middle classes to join the National Charter Associaj tion , and oppose all attempts at forming another ! organization !"—Mr . Hodgson said lie would , excep * 1 they could Ehow him a better . —Mr . Fletcher asked
him who w » 3 to be the judges , whether it was better or not 1—Mr . Hodgson said it should be left with a public meeting called for the purpose ; his answer was considered satisfactory , and he was tiected . — . Mr . Scarlett was proposed by Mr . Bishop and seconded , and questioned by Mr . Fletcher ; who said he would go for the whole hog , bristles , snout , and all . The second question wa 3 answered lhe same as Mr .

possess sufficient strength to secure to the labourer a just and reasonable remuneration for his labour , and protect his rights ; they look upon them only as a temporary barrier established in consequence of his being denied legal and constitutional protection , from the law , which right is denied him in consequence of tho great bulk of the labouring population having no voice in the making of the laws by which th « y are governed ; being fully convinced of this , they pledge themselves to come forward and unite for tha purpose of reorganising the present Trades' Usions , as a temporary protection for their labour .

TO THE SIXTY-FOUR DELEGATES WHO ASSEMBLED AT THE HOP-POLE INN . When the business for which you had assembled was done , you appointed a committee of nine persons present to form a committee to settle certain matters in reference to the business . I , being a member of the committee , attended on the Friday evening following , although I came from Stockport purposely ; Mr . Norris was the only one that came besides . We then agreed to meet on the following Tuesday evening . I was tho only person that atr tended . Mr . Morris engaged to meet me , and to warn the rest to be present , on Wednesday evening , 30 th of March .
I went again , and sat till ten o ' clock , and no one came . What steps to take now I am at a loss to conceive , excepting to call the delegates themselves together on Wednesday evening next , April 6 th . This certainly has been a piece of wiliul neglect or carelessness , or forgetfillness . I am inclined to think tho latter . However , not a step has yet been taken ; the business remains just &a it was . For your own characters , as working men , I trust you will assemble at the Hop Pole lun , on Wednesday evening . The fault does not lie Li tho Delegates nor the Trades , but solely in the Committee they appointed . Trusting the step I have taken will rectify the matter , I am , yours faithfully , Wm . Gbiffin . Manchester , April 1 , 1842 .
P . S . —Mr . Griffin would feel obliged to the various lecturers on Sanday evening , if they would announce that the sixty-four Delegates , who lately assembled at ihe Hop Pole Inn , are requested to meet again on Wednesday evening next .

recover his senses , but died at half-past two o ' clock the same afternoon . Whoa'he was placed in the Infirmary I made the entry in the case-b 6 ok now before the Court .

body . I never in my hie saw a body so entirely lean . Coroner—From what you perceived on the examination of tho body , what is your decided opinion as to the cause of tho deceased's death ? Witness—The immediate cause of death was exhaustion from the want of food . James Alten , police sergeant , 52 N , examined . —I firsc Baw John Marshall , the deceasedi about 2 o ' clock on Sunday morning , the 6 th inst . ; at the Btation-nouse at Edmonton , where he was brought by police constable Crunip , who-had found him lying iua shed asleep , add . that he said he had run away from Peokham workhouse .

Wigney's Bankruptcy . —Brighton , Wednesday . The debts proved on Wednesday amounted to about £ 65 , 000 ., and on tho previous day £ 10 , 000 , being about half the amount of the liabilities of the bank . The affairs present such a gloomy appearance that numbers of persons , some of whom had come out of the country , would not prove , fearing that , in addition to their loss , they would eventually have t 6 contrib ute to the legal expenccs . The majority of the sufferers are tho . tradesmen of Brighton ; and it will be a long time before tho town recovers the injury that has been inflicted upon them by the failure . Numbers have been reduced from affluence to poverty , through having made the bank one of deposit , which , notwithttaniiing the repeated warnings , is so frequently dono with country bankers .
