XANSON . —A meeting of journeymen bakers was held on Saturday evening , at tbe Nation *? Association Hall . Holboro , to form a union of tbe wboie trade for a redress of grievances . Mr . Crow was called to uncbzir , and briefly opened the proceedings . Mi . Williams moved tta first resolution , "That in order to redress any grievance ttot may hereafter exist m oar trade , it is the opinion of this meeting that the best and most effectual means to be resorted to is a legal and constitutional union with our fellow tradesmen , the operative bakers tfcroaghont Great Britain and Ireland , as such & salutary measure will also have fm its object * the laudable and bumane opportunity of assisting each other in time of need . " The journeymen bajftrs Were stigmatized as an ignorant and dissipated class of men . Fe acknowledged they were ignorant , but it was oppression and slavery that rendered them so . They , had no time allowed them to cultivate their intellectual faculties ;
they were compelled to work in bakehouses worse to inhabit than the condemned cells of Newgate ; they were compelled on an average to work twenty hours out of me twenty-four . There bad been societies to emancipate the dogs "which drew their barrows , but alas , there were so societies to emancipate the poor journeymen bakers . He should not propose any resolution pledging them to a strike , but lay the case before the public and their employers , and he bad no doubt that their employers would see their interest in supporting such & nnion . Mr . W . then alluded to the conduct
ef the press in representing that their employers were making rapid fortunes , and complained that with tbe exception of the Evenug Star the press would sot aontradici the groundless assertion , their employers he asserted were fa 3 t sinking into ruin through the effects of tbe present system . Mr . £ Blacknrore seconded tbe zest . lution in an able and eleqarct address . He was sorry to hear the previous speaker stats that , the bakers were an ignorant class « f men , they were possessed of the same faculties as thtir feliow men , and had only to make a vigorous effort to emancipate themselves and they would speedily rise in the scale of social and political society . Mr . B : &ckmore then nighly eulogised tbe Evening star as an aavocste of toe rights of labour , and sat tiown loudly cheered . Mr . Watson , a master baker ,
in an extensive way of business , supported the resolution in an animated address . It was evident to all that the jour eymen and master bakers of London were snffrring indescribable Bufferings , more bo than any other class of persons in the metropolis . The Tints newspaper has scandalously misrepresented the trade , and the profits derived from the present price of bread in the metropolis ; such was the tffect of competition at tbe present time that both master and journeymen were sinking inte an irretrievable gulf of min- 2 kLr- W . tbeii alluded to Sunday baking , and stated that for years he had not allowed Ms f" * " to yrurk on the Sunday . Be then entered into the question advanced by the clergy of tbe metropolis , that the employment of journeymen bakers to cook dinners on Sundays allowed an immense
number of persons to attend places of- worship who would otherwise be deprived of the opportunity , clearly shoved its fallacy and irjustice , ana advised them to charge their employers five shillings for every Sunday on which they were so employed . Mr . W . then alluded to the wretched state of payment given to the journeymen , and the absence of all union by which persons who had not served an apprenticeship were admitted into the trade . An apprentice to a baker was a thing almost Ttnkno-wn in tbe Metropolis ; snch had been tbe prtjudice created by the Tiwu newspaper , that persons in ttie West End , were actually dictating to respectable masters at what price they should eerve them He had received several letters to that effect , He was proud to aee the good feeling that existed among them
towards their employers . He knew that the meeting WonU effect great good ; many of the masters were favourable to their views , and in fact a society among the masters ni being formed to ameliorate their condition , and to est&blisn lectures , reading , registration , and other rooms , which would give mental . employment , facilitate them in procuring situations and keep them from the debasing influences of the publiobotue ; this wss to be tffected by means of an anneal subscription of five shillings from the journeymen , and one guinea from tbe employers , aided by a benevolent public- He advised them to cultivate a feeling of good will and charitable feeling towards their employers , and unite in one bond for the purpose of benefitting the trade collectively . He felt assured that if the
British public were made acquainted 'with their claims , every man , woman , and child wou ' . d exclaim against their wrongs ; it was a system which w&s destroying both body and soul of both men and masters—( great cheering ) . Mr . O'Brien , a journeyman , stated that before they formed a union , be should wish the precise terms of the union to be defined . Mr . Blackmore explained that the Committee would prepare a plan to lay before them at any future meeting . Mr . T . Murray , delegate from Dublin , lodging in the house of Mr . Dyott , secretary'to the Irish Suffrage Associa tion , addressed tbe meeting in support of the advantages of union to the trade , and also tbe formation of a committee , consisting , of one from each club house to carry out its objects . Sir- Blackmore , in
an eloquent address , seconded the resolution . for the foraiation of the committee , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Crow , delegate for Dublin , ablj addresstd tbe meeting , and stated that they had effected a complete union in Ireland for the abolition of night work and the redress of other grievances in tbe trade . They bad also corresponded with the tnde in Sc -tland and intended petitioning the L « gi * ts £ trre to enact a Jaw Bbolisbing night work . They had formed a union of the trade in Manchester , and be trusted that tbe men ef London would not be deficient in spirit in effecting their emancipation . Mr . Wilkie , delegate from Liverpool , also ably addressed tbe meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and delegates and the meeting separated .
CLOCK HOESE , Castle-street , Leicester SQr AfcE . —Mr . Preston , an old veteran in the Radical ranks , a friend and disciple of Home Tooke , lectured here on Sunday evening , to a good audience , upon the swindling funded system , and gave great satisfaction . A resolution was passed deprecating the interference of the delegates at tbe Birmingham Conference with the organization , and leaving tbe conduct of the Executive to be decided upon by tbe votes given at the i . ext election . A deputation , consisting of Messrs . Ridley ,
Cufiay , and Wheeler , was received , and laid before tbe meeting business connected with the approaching Conference . A committee of ten persons was appointed to assist in collecting subscriptions , Ac . Mr . Skclton laid before tbe meeting the resolutions agreed to by the committee for getting np a local hall , Ac tbe reselntaoss -were unanimously approved of . A deputation from tbe shareholders of the Old Bailey attended and urged upon them the necessity of taking np shares in the Centra ] Hall . A collection was nude for a person in distress , and the meeting adjourned .
The Shahbholdeks of 55 . Old Bailey , in conjunction with other friends , have taken extensive premises in Tum-again-lane , Skinner-street , city , for the purpose of converting them into s Central Chartist HalL The premises will accommodate between one and two thousand persons , in addition to a shop , coffee , and reading-room * , 4 c Shares can be taken at any Chartist locality , 5 s . each , payable at 6 d . per week .

METROPOLITAN DeIXGATE MEETING ; Mr . Mudge in the chair . Credentials were received from Messrs . Cbfetopher Shackleto :: and Skelton , for the "West End Shoemakers . The granting of credentiale toa person ¦ who waa lecturing in the country , and ¦ who bad applied to the secretary for the same was discussed at considerable length . Tbe granting of them was ultimately delayed until certain explanations bad been given , and the secretary was ordered to write to the individual to that effect The correct addresses of the Chartist meeting , time , 2 cC , having been procured , Messrs . Wheeler and Cuffay were instructed to get five thousand copies of them printed for tiMnbut'on , and five hundred large eolonred copies to hang in C ; ffae Booms ; Public Rouses , 4 c Reports were received from various
localities relative to the Evening Star , and the best means of increasing its circulation . Mr . Dron reported from the observation committee . Mr . Simpson obtained leave to have tbe standing orders suspended , and moved the following reflation : — " That the delegate meeting empower a committee of seven of its members to bxamine the books and accounts of the Executive , in order to Bring the present unfortunate discussion to a close ; that a meeting of the Executive and the Committee , for this object , should be held on tbe 1 st Jan . next : and that timely notice be given to that boiiy . " Mx . G . Humphries seconded the motion . Messrs . Wheeltr , Cnffay , and Rose objected to the motion . They had no power to compel the Executive to attend tbe meeting of their committee , neither would the Executive , in
their opinion , be justified in putting the country to travelling expences , 4 a , to attend such a summons . Mr . Boae moved , " That the localities be requested to take into thsrr consideration the -affairs of the Executive . " Mr . Dron seconded the motion . He thought the relegate Meeting should repel tbe insult offered to them by Mr . Campbell ; bat it would be best first to bring the subject before the localities . Several delegates stated that thafrr localities r *»^ folly made np their minds upon the snbjeet . Mesw . Knight , Lucas , and Maynard admitted that the Executive had neglected the orguritation ; but were of opinion that the language ef Mr . Hill in the northern Star was too violent , and calculated to do injury to tbe sale of that journal . Mr . Christopher rhsfarriyi 4 be conduct of Mr . Hill , and expressed bis
NBttmen&s- upon theto unreasonableness in sot allowing Mr . THfl to ¦ i »|«*« mm Ids sentiments once a week , whilst they frwlj mimjstni their own upon the same subject every bom of the day . He was sorry to see that persons should , because tbe line of policy adopted by the Editor differed from tb ^ r own views , attempt to injure tbe circulation of a journal that bad done so much for the cause . , Mt Cathy should oppose both thereeolntion and the t ^^^ TfBt- He h *^ previously intimated bis xeaaoos far nofe-penlating in bis vote of censure , and be would not be taunted by any parties into adopting a different Una of eondnet Mr ; Cook thought it was wrong to agitate the aubjeet while the Wall were pending . Messrs . Felling , Mills , W . Knight , and others , poke is favour of the subject being referred to the localities ; after considerable ^ iw rrmrifni the a i fiTnpnt

for recommending the consideration of the subject to the localities was carried by a considerable majority . Mr . Dron while speaking upon the conduct of Mr . Campbell , contradicted the statement of that gentleman that tbe attendance of delegates was very limited in number on the previous discussion of the " Balance Sheet ; " it was the very reverse of the fact Several delegates cot firmed Mr . Dron ' s statement . Mr . Knight laid before tbe meeting a notice of motion relative to tbe impropriety of attending at meetings of tbe Anti-Corn Law Party , for the purpose of opposition . The notice was founded on a resolution passed by the Chartista of Finsbury . Messrs . Wheelsr , C * ok , Dron , and others , defended the line of conduct adopted by the Chartists , and tbe meeting adjourned .

NORTHWICH- —On Thursday week Mr . C Doyle delivered an eloquent and interesting lecture on the subjects of Taxation and War , to a very attentive audience . He clearly proved that those evils are the effects of class legislation , and that the adopton of the Charter is tbe only secure means by which the people can effectually exonerate themselves from the unmercifnl burthens beneath which they groan at the present time . At tbe conclusion of the meeting an unanimous vote of thanks was given to the lecturer . MOSSLEY—Mr . William Dixon , of Manchester , delivered a lecture here an Monday evening last , to a good andienee , on the evils of the present system , and the remedy to restore us to a more healthy state of society , which he handled in a masterly manner , to the great satisfaction of the meeting .
SOUTH SHIELDS—ELECTION OF DELEGATES . —The committees of tbe Cbsitista and Complete Suffragists met to consult on the propriety and practicability of electing delegates to represent them in the forthcoming Conference . The Complete SnfiragiBts propoied that the two parties unite to send one delegate to represent both . No bad joke , but we , ungrateful dogs that we are , would do no such thi g , bnt declined onr readiness to pay an equal shire of the expence in calling the meeting , and that we would propose two candidates , that they might propose as many as they chose , and whichever party was succe »» ful should pay their own delegates . To this they decidedly objected , and left tbe Chartists to their own resources . We next presented a requisition to the Chief Magistrate , signed by ,
thirty-six householders , requesting him to call a meeting for the above purpose , which he most graciously declined ; we therefore placarded the town / calling a meeting for Wednesday night , Dec 7 , in . Mr . JagWa Long Room , Scarborough Spa , King-street . At the hour appointed the ball wa « crowded . Mr . Elliott , a working man , was unanimously called to the cbair . The Chairman , after reading the bill announcing the meeting , called upon Mr . Willis to propose the first resolution , rs follows : — "That this meeting , deeply convinced of the necessity of being represented in the Conference to be held on the 27 th of December , at Birmingham , do immediately proceed to elect two men for that purpose , and that they l > e instructed to uso their endeavours to bring about a solid union of tbe middle
and working classes , also in framing a bill which shall embrace a full and free representation of the Whole people . " Mr . Grilflilan seconded the resolution , which wascarried unanimously . Mr . Dobsonproposed , "That Mr . DuVid Potts , of Birmingham , be requested to represent us in the Conference . " ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Wh : te seconded tbe nomination , Mr . Curry then proposed " Mr . Charles Ashton as the other fit and proper person . " Mr . stracklana seconded tbe nomination . The chairman then asked three times if there was any other candidate to propose , when no one appearing , a show of hands was taken separately , and unanimously
agreed to amidst great cheering . Tbe chairman then rose and said , I declare D ^ v id Potts and Charles Ashton duly elected to represent this borough in the forthcoming Conference , to be held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December . Mr . Chappie , of Sunderland , being recognised in the meeting , was loudly called for and made his way to the platform amidst loud cheers , when he delivered a speech which occupied above an hour in 'he delivery . Three cheers were then given for Dr . M'Douall , three for tbe Evening and Xorthe / n Start and three fox Feargus O'Connor , and after a Vole Of thanfcg to the fthftirman , the meeting e » parated highly gratified .
ROWBIX . —The inhabitants of this place determined upon calling a public meeting by requisition , which was drawn up in the usual form , and presented to the High Constable of the place ; but he refuted to call tbe meeting on the ground that he knew notbiDg of the requihitionists , nor nothing did he want to know of them . They said , if you do not call tbe meeting , we shall call it our * elves . Well , said he , you may do as you think well , only don't trouble me , but go off about your business . Accordingly the meeting was called for Tuesday last , at six o ' clock in the evening , Mr . John Roddis in tbe chair . Mr . John Bowlett proposed Mr . John Wiimot as a fit person to r . present them in the forthcoming Conference , to be held at Birmingham ; seconded by Mr . William Ashton . Mr . Willis afterwards addressed the meeting ; afterwhich the proposition was put , and Mr . WLmot declared to be duly elected . He addressed the mteting , and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the meeting separated .
EXETER . —At a public meeting held at the Cora Exchange , on Tuesday week , tbe first gentleman that was proposed and elected was James Platers , Wilkinson , E * q ., wine and spirit merchant , the only gentleman in Exeter , in his sphere of life , who comes out boldly and nobly ,. and advocates the rights of 'the poor and the oppressed . We can depend on Mr . Wilkitoou . He iB sincere and honest in all his intentions—a mnn which every poor man it able to call his friend , h « is beloved and respected by all that know him . Tbe ott » r delegate is Mr . Davy , of Crediton , who will represent that town as welL CARUSLB . Public Meeting to elect MEMBERS FOB THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE .
—On the evening of Tuesday last , a public meeting was called ( by beat of drum ) in tbe Beaming Machine Boom , Water-lane , for tbe purpose of choosing persona to represent the working classes of this place , in the forthcoming Birmingham Conference . At the time appointed , a number of persons assembled , when it was discovered that the meeting had not been called in accordance with the Storge circular calling the Conference ; so that it was considered proper to get np a requisition to tbe Mayor , requesting him to call a meeting for the above purpose . On Monday last , a deputation waited upon his worship with the requisition , when he told then that it was quite illegal for him to call any meetings except for choosing members of Parliament . Tbe deputation urged that their
proceeding was strictly legal , and that the Mayor was either at liberty to call tbe meeting or not , as be thought proper ; but in case of bis refusing to do so , they would consider themselves at liberty to rfo so . Arrangements are being made for calling the public meeting , when we expect tbe working men will , by their numerous attendance and orderly demeanour show themselves worthy of exercising those rights , for the possession ef which they are straggling . We believe tbe Council of the Chartist Association have been corresponding with Mr . White , of Birmingham , on the subject of getting two proper persons to represent the working classes of this place in the conference , which proceeding will be attends * with much less expense , than by sending men from thiB
locality , indeed the present state of the funds will not admit of it ; though we have no donbt if active exertions were made , that a sufficient sum might be raised tot the purpose , indeed we have a proof of it in the election of a delegate to the late Conference at Manchester . On that occasion the money required for the purpose was all raised in the course of a few hours , by appointing active collectors to the various districts of the town . We should much prefer sending a man from amongst the people to . represent them , for he most necessarily be much betUr acquainted with the condition of the people than a stranger can possibly be ; however , if this cannot now be accomplished there is no alternative , , 'if the people are to be represented at all ) bnt that to which the council have resorted . In the
mean money wui be wanted even f « r this purpose bo that every good friend to the cause ought to exert himself in his own locality to raise the necessary funds . We shall send a fnll and accurate report of the proceedings at the public meeting The Cablisle Wobkikg ' Mbk's Ment . ii , Impbovehem Society . —The members of this society continue to increase , and several additional works have been placed in the library . A very animated discussion took place at their room , No . 6 , Jobnstieet , Caldewgate , on the following question : —•• Are we progressing towards a happier state of human existence ? " It was contended by Messrs . Barker and Armstrong , that we are processing towards a happier state of human existence , in proof of which , they took a retrospective view of the history of this and other wmntrles , and pointing out in a somewhat striking and interesting manner the barbarous and superstitious
state of tbe people In former ages ; tbe progress of emulation ; the great and important discoveries ; and tbe rapid improvements in arts and sciences . They were opposed by Mr . Bowman , who took a very comprehensive and extensive view of the question in all its bearings . He admitted tbe correctness and cogency of the reasoning of these who bad preceded him . He admitted it was beautiful in theory , bnt he was much afraid that it weuld not beat tb » severe test of practical experience . It was an easy task for poets to sing and philosophers to write their themes of imaginary hnman happiness ; bnt it was jost as difficult to point oat the means of practically enjif ing that high state of human enjoyment of which they bare been writing . We may be pleased , ( said Mr . Bowman , ) nay even delighted , with the poet ' s song and the philosopher's theme , and rise from their perusal with eager hopes and high expectations ; but alas I no sooner do we enter the troubled ocean of banian life than we behold misery .

destitution , wretchedness , and want meeting our gaze on every side ; and we feel chagrined and disappointed , and fully convinced that we have been perusing a parcel of day dreams and Utopian theories . Mr . Bowman then proceeded at great length to pourtray the present state of society , as compared with former ages of our history , and contended that jnst in proportion as improvements in machinery had taken place , In the same proportion had the comforts of the working man deceased , and bis labonr increased . To bear him out In this view of the question be read several quotations from Mr . Hobson's " POOR MapTS COMPANION AND Almanack ., " and also from Mr . Cobbett's history of the Protestant Reformation . Mr . Bowman continued —are wa progressing towards a happier state of human
existence , when the man who stands forward at a public meeting , and exposes the corruptions of the state and tbe villainous robberies which ate committed on the poor ; and who proclaims in a voice of thunder the immutable rights of man , which pierces the hearts ef tyrants , is seized by some blue liveried ruffian , thrown into a prison—tried on tbe perjured evidence of this scoundrel , and doomed to a dungeon ' s gloom , or banished from his country , his home , and his family for ever ? In the words of a great and eminent poet , "Woe to tbee England , shame and sorrow to thee England , when the walls of a prison house are the only reward of the as&erter of public right ; bnt it is said , tbis is to secure peace and trarquility . Tea ! but it will be the peace
of the grave , the tranquillty of slaves ; it will be founJ only in tbe triumph of despotism , tbe destruction of public liberty and thejprostratlon of the Buhjeot ; it will be found only in tbe tomb of England ' s liberty . " Are we progressing towards a happier state of hnman existence , worn the judgement seat is desecrated by a corrupt and paTtial judge , who directs , a prejudiced jury to find all men guilty of sedition or high treason who profess certain political opinions ? Alas ( our once happy country 1 Tbe seeds of reformation may bave been sown , but the fruits have not . yet appeared ; the star of freedom may have arisen , but its enlivening and cheering influence , has not yet shone upon ns ; the Goddess of Li' > erty may have Bounded the requiem of tyranny and injustice , but the
welcome sound has not yet reached our shores . Mr . Bowman then dwelt on the various remedies proposed for removing the present distress , and concluded as follows - . —Restore to tbe people their natural and constitutloDal rights of choosing their own representatives to make the laws , and we will stake our existence that in a few years the mest salutary changes ¦ w ill take place . We shall speedily effect the total destruction of monarchy with all its train of corruptions and abuses ; we shall have a revision of the pension list , and a great reduction of tbe salaries of all public officers ; we shall bave a just appropriation of church property , in taking away the pow « r from those
who unjustly possess all tbo palronage ; we shall put an end to non-residence , sinecurism and pluralism ; and effectually check the rapacious maws of the present clergy ; we shall literally destroy and sweep-away the Protestant church as it at present exists in Ireland , where it is not only a monrtrons nuisance , but a gross oppression ; we shall , of courae , take away tbe present immense revenues of the crown ; we shall revise , or rather dispense a * . together with tbe civil list , and all hereditary revenues ; we shall reform the courts of law and judicial administration—the funding system , and other departments of public business ; we shall most effectually do away with all monopolies , and secure to the people a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work .
EDINBURGH . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh was held in Dr . Ritchie ' s church , Potter-row , on Monday , December 5 th , to consider the propriety of sending delegates to represent the citizens of Edinburgh at the forthcoming Conference , to be held at Birmingham , John Dunlop , Esq ., of Brocklock , was called to the chair , who read the placard calling the meeting , and mode a few preliminary observations . The Rev . D . Robertson then addressed the meeting , and concluded by moving a resolution , that tbe meeting at ? r ey to send six delegates to that Conference , about to be convened for the purpose of preparing the draft of an act of parliament , embodying the principles of Complete Suffrage , and of deciding on a fit and proper person to bring it into tbe House of Commons . The motion
was carried unanimously . Six candidates were then nominated , namely : —Rev . Dr . Ritchie , J . Dunlop , £ sq Joseph Sturge , Etq ., T . S . Duncombe , Esq , Henry Rinkin , and Robert Lowery , Esq . The chairman was proceeding with the election when Mr . Cumming , an old Chartist , and councillor of tbe Edinburgh Chartist Association rose and said he had some questions to put to the candidates . He asked Air . R . Lowery , should be be sent to the Conference if he would support the Charter in all its leading points and details , name and all . Mr . Lowery rose and said , he / id not know of such a document as the People ' s Charter . It was an act to amend the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament , which some persons called tb * People ' s Charter . He would not support its details of
n ^ pressed strong disapprobation that part wti >; > excluded persons convicted of crime from the elective franchise . He also objected to that park which assigned certain duties connected with elections to pariib clerks . Mr . Cumming then rose again to test Mr . Lowe-ry still farther . A great uproar ensued , the Complete Suffragists hissing and yelling so as to make it impossible to hear a word . It was then moved , " That It be not allowed to catechise the candidates . " The Chartist party , however , insisted on their right to question any candidate . Mr . Cumming again attempted to proceed , but was bullied and bra wheat by tbe Sturgites , and assailed with cries of "Put him down , " " Turn him out . " The Chairman at last succeeded in restoring quiet Mr . Cumming then advanced to tbe
platform , and appealed to the audience , as lovers of freedom , to allow him a hearing . He condemned the objections of Mr . Lowery as weak , paltry , and a mere subterfuge and cover for ulterior design meditated and sought in conjunction with tbe middle classes to be put in operation for tbe destruction of the existing Chartist machinery and organization . He animadverted severely upon tbe inconsistency of Mr . Lowery in voting at the meeting of Scottish delegates , held lately in Whitueld Chapel , to send a delegation from Edinburgh to tbe Conference on tbe principle originally laid down by the Birmingham Council , which exeluded the non-electors from taking any part in tbe election of one half of the members , to attend that Conference ; and gave an equal number of representatives to 600 000 electors , notwithstanding their immense disproportion in numbers to the working classes , in tbe very teeth of the principles of Universal Suffrage ,
and equal repsesentation , which he made it his business to teach . He said he could not place confience in Mr . Lowery , and he proposed Mr . Cocbxane in hlB place . This was the signal for another uproar , so that the spsaker found it impossible to go on , , and retired , saying the best thing they could do was to make a present of Mr . Lowery to Joseph Sturge . Mr . Peters seconded the nomination ; but Mr . Lowery had the majority on a show of bands being taken . Mr . Lennie proposed a resolution , binding the delegates to sanction no compromise with the Free Traders , which was lost Mr . Blackie next moved that the meeting pledge itself to raise subscriptions to defray the expences of the delegation , which was carried unanimously . Dr . Ritchie then addressed the meeting ; and Mr . Lowery being called for , spoke for some time . He ridiculed the idea of sticking to the past , as obstructive and detrimental to the political advancement of the people . The meeting was then dissolved .
DAXJSEITH . —A public meeting was held In the Mason ' s Hall , Mr . Taylor in the cbair , on Friday , to hear a lecture from Mr . Robert Lowery , upon the necessity of union amongst all Reformers , to remove tbe demoralization , and to prevent the destruction of property , anarchy , and bloodshed , arising from aristocratic legislation . The lecturer handled the subject in his usual talented manner . The meeting was also called to elect a delegate to the Birmingham Conference , but as tbo proper notice—four days , had not bten given of the meeting , on the advice of Mr . Lc wery , that part of the business was postponed . It was then agreed to call a public meeting of the district on an early day , when the meeting broke up .
XtASSWADE . —A lecture was delivered in Bonnyrigg School-room , on Tuesday last , by Mr . Fraser , late ot Leeds , which gave great satisfaction . His glowing account of the oppression practised in the English manufacturing districts , by those tyrants who are crying out for union with those they are oppressing caused much sensation . LEICESTER . —That the severe policy pursued by the " Shaksperian Brigade , " towards all new-movert , was the only correct policy , has just been proved , in Leicester , to a demonstration . Mr . Cooper , since his liberation , has been endeavouring to effect a union with such of the middle-classes , in that town , as have long borne a reputation for uprightness and philanthropy , —such of them , especially , as have been in the
habit of proclaiming that their " arms were bared for Universal Suffrage ; " and the approaching Sturge Conference seeming to offer an opportunity for coming to an understanding with sincere men , Mr . C , commissioned by bis " Brigade , " offered terms of nnion . The hypocrites , however , called a secret meeting to elect their own men , and thereby raised the gall of the workies . In another part of our paper , Mr . C . himself opens the whole of this matter , —and tbe result of it has been the entire frustration of the deceitful purposes of the sturgites . Mr . Cooper delivered two discourses in the amphitheatre , last Sunday , —subjects : " Characteristic earnestness of the disciples of Truth , " and " Omnipotence of Truth . " On Monday night , Mr . George White , of Birmingham , delivered a thoroughly democratic address , in the same building , amidst tbe
frequent and enthnsiaBtie plaudits of the Sbakspereans . it was a night of great enjoyment White is a spirit of the right sort for the Leicester lads . ' The Lion of Freedom" was sung at the commencement , in chorus , and " When Britain first by heaven ' s command , " by Mr . Cooper , with *• Spread the Charter" as chorus , at tbe conclusion , both at George White ' s request A social party was kept up , at Mr . Cooper ' s coffee-room , till midnight , where Mr . Johnstone ( a very noble and effective tenor ) gave the old Commodore ' s " Brave Northern Star" Mr . Duffey gate the comic Irish melody " O'Brannlgan . " Mr . Cooper gave the melody of " The Holy Clerk of Copmanhurst , " in Tvanhoe , M The Barefooted Friar , " fixed , by himself , to an old Lmcolr . ab . lre air , —and other members of the "Brigade , " contributed to the enlivenment of the evenin *' .
