Ho spoke upwards of two hours in a strain of eloquence that completely rivetted the attention of his audience , indeed the whole of his lectures have been delivered in a style of eloquence that does great

      credit to him . There has been an increase of above a hundred members . Never before were there such in-door meetings in Todmorden upon any occasion . We now number above SOI members in the National Charier Association at Todmorden , and there are upwards of 100 m the female frociety . When the last National Petition was presented , Todmorden sent no signatures , and but very little money to the Convention ; now we have sent 7000 signatures , and £ i to this Convention , and we send regularly one-fourth of out subscriptions to the Executive . If every town iu England would do as Todmorden has done and ia doing , it would not be long before the Charter would be law . We have now

      taken 350 cards , and we have sent £ 1 IS 3 2 d ainoe the las ; balance sheet oi the Executive came puti If the societies would only furnish the Executive with on- ^ -Jourth oP their subscriptions , what an efficient agitauon there would be ; instead of the Executive being in debt , as at present , they would be paying efficient leciurers to give information to the people , and to do away with tracing agitators ; and they would so arrange the routes for the lecturers that they could visit all the places , and not always be kept in one district . The people of Todmorden are almost all arousing from their apathy ; they only want a visit from our champion O'Connor , to * enlist them in our ranks .

" - ^ -Thia party has called a meeting of tho members of the Complete Suffrage Association , which took place on Monday night , in the Meal House , to hear the report of their deputies who were sent to thegreat National Conference held in Birmingham ' , Alderman Brooks Was called to the chairs He opened the business o ? the meetin K in a short speech remarkably full of soft soap ; but the working men are not to be caught with chatf , and this they fotind to be the case before the meeting ended . ; Mr . Prentioe was the first speaker ; he ran through a long preamble of the business that was transacted in the Conference . When he concluded , a working maa got up and asked leave to put a question to the speaker . He wanted to know

      if it was true that when four points of the Charter were carried in the Conferenc 6 , Mr . Prentice returned to Manchester to report progress to the manufacturers , and that they immediately sent their protest against , the decision of that body 1 In reply Mr . Prentice denounced in toto the statement . Mr . Warren next addressed the meeting in a long rambling speech about nothing . At this time some of the lads got a sight of Dixon , and shouted out for him to go to the plaSform to speak . At this time tbo calls for Dixon were tremendous : with soine difficulty Mr . Dixon got to the platform , and the cheering was terrific . After order was again restored , he addressed the working men upon the necessity of

      standing to their own organisation . If the middle class were honest , they would join the National Charter Association , and this would Unite the power of the people in one mighty uniou , which no Government , however strong , could withstand , and carry dismay into the citadel of corruption . He was cheered throughout the whole of his address , and concluded by calling upon the working classes to stand fast by their organ , their leaders , and their Association . He retired , and tho cheering was tremondousi A vote of thanks was moved to the depuiiea , but they dare not press it , for the Chartists were ten to one . We could not arrive at auy knowledge of their future movements .

' ¦ ¦' , ¦ ¦ -, . ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ ¦ -. ¦ Secondly , —The fund out of which the members are paid tor iheir services , Bhows a very large deficiency ; and we regret to state , that Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Wales , are the only districts for which the full amount of contributions have been received .

      Thirdly , ^ -It will be absolutely necessary for the Convention-to sit . four weeks instead of three , for the purpose of watching the result of the demand for a hearing at the Bar of the House of Commons . Brethren , we are confident We have only to call upon you to support us , and we a * e satisfied tho requisite funds will be immediately-forwarded .-from the various districts to Air .

      The National Convention Of The Industrious Cl Isses To The Trades.

      THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE INDUSTRIOUS CL iSSES TO THE TRADES .

      Fellow Countrymen , We have been elected by the suffrages of a vast body of the people , and according to their instruction we have assembled to deliberate upon the present condition and existing wrongs of the proiuciut ; classes , to decide' upon the means of placing their grievances before the country and the present government ; and to . adopt peaceful and constitutipnal m » asures to secure support , disarm prejudice , and defeat oppoaitioiu We have n ©

      faith in the government , little hope of justice from Parliament , and scarcely any as-sistance from the middle class electors . We represent millions who are thrust out from the pale of the constitution , who are denied all protection to their labour , which alone has created the wealth of the aristocracy , the fortune of the capitalists , and the comforts of the middle--classes . We represent those who have been disfranchised , upon whose forehead is stamped ihe the impress of political slavery ; whom the Reform Bil has placed wide apart Trom those whose interests aro identical , but whose feelings are now aostile . ¦

      We represent the working classes , who have aroused themselves to a sense of their political slavery , and who clearly perceive that there is no equal social protection to labour under the law , from the Parliament , or unions of labourers , so long aa the poJitioal franchise is withheld , and the laws , taxes , and force of irresponsible rule , constructed to oppress , defraud , and intimidate . We have met together in the metropolisi for the purpose of demanding two concessions from the government ; the first ia to permit the adyocate& of the rights of libour to describe its wrongs at the bar of the House of Common ? , the second is to adopt , and pass into law , an act conferring on all men who have arrived at the ago of twentyrone , and who are of sound mind , the right of voting for members of Parliament , as well as to enact Annual

      Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , Equal Electoral Districts , no Property Qualification for Members of Parliament , and Payment for Parliamentary Services . Should the first be conceded , aa it was granted to the unenfranchised Canadians , you will , for the first time , be virtually represented in the House of Commons , and have admit ted as ju ^ t aad right , the great principle for which we have contended . Should it be refused , our excellent friend and advocate T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., will then inove the adoption of the principles in favour of which we are petitioning . Should both be refused , we may sufely consider that the aristocracy have finally resolved to rob the people of every remnant of a hope of justice , and ecnvincaas that all our struggles are to be regarded with disdain , and our prayers with contempt .

      The means we propose for the purpose of effeoting the two objects stated , are , first , to carry down in procession to the House a National Petition , emdodying our grievances , and praying for the remedy ; and secondly , to support the prayer of that Petition by the personal presence of all those trades who may be induced to take part in this new but most just and constitutional proceeding ; wo have confident hopes that tho signatures of three millions will produce an impression upon the hardened heaTts of the oppressors of industry . But we have far higher hopes of tha result should the powerful and organised Trades of the Metropolis exhibit their determination firmly yet peacefully , not only to present a petition , but to be heard through those

      representatives at the Bar of the House , who in justice should should sit within it . We are fully aware that the trades could make an exhibition of moral force if they were convinced of the justice of the attempt ; aud surely we may expect sympathy and supporfcfrom them in our new andgrand undertaking when so many thousands of their brethren are about to be struck downj unresistingly by the new enactments of the jGovernmenfc . This new result of irresponsible ^^ power ought to be met by anew and deter mined effort on tho part of the people . We have offered you the means . Are you , the trades of this great capita ) , to remain inactive , when your feebler associations iii the country have erected the standa rd- of tho suffrage ? Are you tu

      stand idle and permit your representatives to struggle against such fearful odds , aided only by the few patriotio trades who have hitherto courageously battled against despotic power , whether it was confined to the acts of an overbearing agent or extended to the Tariff Bill of Sir Robert Peel 1 We believe better of such organised masses , who combine within themselves that machinery which has made a government tremble within its guarded offices , and am imperious press bend and admit their power . We hesitate not to admit , that 10 ; 000 men from the jealously-watched unions would create more attention on trie part of the Government , the Parliament , and tho Pres ? , than uncounted myriads without orij . Tinsation could arouse .

      We ask you , then , fellow-countrymen , if you have grievances tp complam oft If so , do you desire the whole to be explained at the bar oi the H 6 ns 9 of Commons ? You have the . ' . power to make bur prayer effectual . You have the nie-m « of giving imposinsj strength to our petition . Y « u have the power to avert calamity from the cottage threshold , and command redress from the palace portal . You have the power to turn away with , a strong arm the sorrow and starvation of your weaker countrymen . You can forbid the impious hand of mifgovernmant to lessen the poor man ' s store . You have union , power , and wealth . You want but the will to secure to yonraelves that political franchise , without Which

      the interests of your trades must be at the mercy of every dabbling politician aiid speculating ministerwithouc which you will bo offered up an easy sacrifice to the power of the aristocracy of laud and capital * and be made the scape goats for everyminister , and the common prey of succeeding rulers . Fel \ ow : O 0 Uiitrymen , it is your right . to be heard in your own defence , at the bar of the House ; and upon your decision depends the success of our attempt to gain the first step towards liberty or justice . On Monday , the 2 nd of . May , we go down with the petition in procession ifrom Lincoln ' s Inn Fields , at twelve o ' clock . Arouse yourselves for that important day' ¦! . — England expects every man willdooisdutyl "

      THE SUPPOSED MURDER OF A MAN AT STOCKPORT . In consequence of important facts having come to light , concerning the death of Ebonezer Thomas Tallautino , upon whose body a coroner ' s 'inquest , was held on the 19 th iust ., a public meeting of the inhabitants otStuckport was held iu the lar ^ e room , in Temperance Yard , Hillgate , on the 2 Gih inst , to take into consideration the adoption of a memorial to the Secretary of State for the Home Department . The room was crowded nearly to suiFycation , notwithstanding the threats and intimidation exercised by certain parries to keep the people from attending . A number of the Stockport police were there Ipn ^ j before the time of meeting , aud remained until the whole of the bnsineaa waa concluded .

      Mr . Felix M'Wade was called to the chair , and opened the business of the meeting , by calling upon all present to conduct themselves in such a manner as tho nature of tho buainess required . He trusted they would assist him in keeping order , and givo each speaker a fair and candid hearing . He would not trespass longer on their time , but call upon Mr . Carter to move the first resolution :- — Mr .

'' Mr Taylor seconded tke resolution . Mr . Bailey from Mauohester , supported it in a short but telling speech .

      The Chairman put ii to the meeting , and it was carried unanimously . Mr . Thoroaa Clark moved the Memorial in an energetic and soul-stirring speech , which called forth loud peals of applause . He concluded by reading the Memorial : — "To the Right Houourableihe Secretary of State for the Home Department . " The undersigned Memorial of the Inhabitants of Stockport , in publio meeting assembled , " Humbly sheweth ,--That on Tuesday , April 19 tb . 1842 , a coroner ' s inquest was held in Stockport , on the body of Ebenezer Thomas Tallantine , of Stockport . ' - .- ; .. ¦ ¦; ¦ : '¦' :. - ' ¦ - ¦ ¦ - . : ; . ¦' . ¦ '' That the evidence adduced on the inquest seems to your Memorialists to bo contradictory and unsatisfactory in tho extreme .

      " That your Memorialists feel highly dissatisfied at the verdict given by the jury . " From circumstances that have come to the knowledge of your memorialists , and from facts that have transpired , they feel confident that the offenderor offenders may be brought to justice . " That as it ib a prerogative of the person filling your high and responsible situation to issue orders for a second inquest ,- '' on " -.

      made public at the present , might frustrate the ends of justice ; the whole of the evidence would be transmittLd with the memorial to the Home Secretary .

Hul . ley be the deputation . " Mr . Mansfield seconded the motion , and Mr , Dixon made a few remarks in support of the resolution , Whiohwaa carried without opposition .
