      3 $ T 3 E CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND GEXEBALL 5 , AND TO THOSE OF GLASGOW ESPECIALLY . Ht De £ B Fbiecds , —I think jon -will agree with joe , that the success of our cause mainly depends upon ibe character sad condnct of the leaders . I Jisre discoTered amongst Scoiclimen a great jealonEy and a proper jes lousy , upon these points . In f&et , I hare inown a well-conducted operative to fined je&is at the recital of immoral ads committed bj ieaders j from & consciousness that those acts tronld jedound to the general disgrace of the party . 1 am jsia enocgh to believe thai , in this respectj I hare upheld jour cause ; and that I am equally jealous is Toarselve 3 upon this Tital point .

      I am now about to defend myself against a charge -ef i&kehood brought against jne bj Mr . Acland , at tmeof jsnr i « eent meetings . I take the following extract from the Evening Star newspaper as the ^ urge . It rons thus : — » lbai medel of rant , dissinmlataan , and falsehood , £ gxa& , ess been lecturing here for the last ei ^ ht ^ jjs . ITe -west into the Hall fTrsdes *} last ni ^ ht as Qje fellow xtas about finishing for the ni ^ ht .

      la oiled " Iheir leaders , " as everything that iras base 2 I ssked him "whether he said to Mr . O'Connor ^ kst tbfi league intended to shut their mUlB ic order to && £ 3 tnrn-ont ? Be denied thia fbtiy , and dejjonneed 3 Ir . O * G . as a man * hose word was not worthy of ce 3 & "We challenged the fellow to tiiscossion . Sew&ihi Chartist leaders were so contemptible that 2 js yenld despise ta meet them on-egjoal terms —thsy vere despised by aH sessibie men- —they wera donefiiar tana was going dowc—it was domi , and he Tcmldnot be the mans of raisarg them to notice ; he iB £ ir -B £ 3 t they were ; he despised to hare anything to do wish them . *

      This miserable broken-down tool of the Lsagne has become impertinent , by my heretofore silence npon this subjsci . He has "smtten some letters to newspapers denying that he used those words which I charged him as having osed at Halifax . Those papers did not publish any answer from me , jon may rest assured ; and to you no confirmation t » f my word was necessary , Bni now , as he has ventured to repeat the contradiction before a public meeting , my turn has come .

      This is my answer . I had never laid tsj eyes npon Mr . James Aeland till I saT him at Halifax ^ npon the nigti of our discussion—if his annihilation deserves the name . I was not likely to speak to tan . Had 1 met him npan the following day , I ibtmid noi haTB spoken to h « m . To meet Mm as the Jnred proponnder of false doctrines , for the purpose of exposing him , is one thing ; to meet him as aa acquaintance would be another thing . I did not speak to Mr . Acland then . Did he come over and BM&kio me \ Let the Chairman , Mr . Jackson , and the meeting answer that ; and if he did speak to

      3 ce , what cidhe say ! for he has not yet told me . Didie put his hand to his mouth , and his mouih to jcyearl Let the Chairman and the meeting say . ^ Fhai had heto say to a perfect stranger ! Now , my assertion is this : —Mr . Acland said to me precisely as I have stated in the Northern Star , and l ( M me that it was the intention © 7 tbe League so so ? tss ans . " The moment he sat down , I . mentioned it to Mr . Xnsbton , and I also repeated it jn the following term 3 to the Rev . Mr . Jackson , and aboai a dozan working men , who accompanied 2 S 8 to my hotel after the meeting . ** Well , 1 think

      Acland let the cat out of the bag to-night , when he told me that the masters intended stopping all the ruflb . 2 ? ow the fellow told me that in the hope of insuring my acquiesence in a project which of all othere 1 most dread . 71 Kow , then , to that recital there are many witnesses . What , then , did Acland say to mei ForthatmnsVbe the question . What had he to say to a perfect stranger of whcm he had -written and spoken Terr disresptctlj ? Sot le farther asserts , * ' && % npon the same evening he ChalleZIj ?? - ^ ^** ° tQ-feyr ' hoT < jirmn ^ -i . » " Xrm . !• Ju false . But , beyond the direct contradiction , hear

      ssy « reiun 5 £ an £ jal denial of the assertion . Tae ieenssion was to have been between Mr . Acland and lit Jackson . I traTelled more than forty miles , and addressed three jmbBe meetings , and traTelled the Jsst twelTe orer a monntainon 3 country in a gig , in ifty- £ re minutes , in raia , to be on the spot . Therefore I was anxious to meet Ac-Isnd . I had been informed thai the meeting was " £ xedferihepre ? ion 3 ereniEg , and , uninvited , went wish Ht . EobEon to Halifax , for the express pxrptee ol surprising Mr . Acland and tbe League Therefore I wasnotafraid of meeting Mr . Acland

      If he challenged jue to further discussion , it mast tare bees after ih * proceedings of that evening had tenmusten ; and was tbe result likely to intimidate jm from aBo 2 > er trial ? "What was the result 1 An amendment to his resolution , after three hours' dis-CEsaon conducted in the most creditatable manner , earried mauiiaonsly , in a meeting of near 2000 persons , and his own party well whipped in ! Could I then dread further discussion 1 I had measBxed uj opponent and fonnd him a mere plaything in my banes . 1 showed that the grew ccunty-gnn of the League was a mere bottle of froth ; aad I made him

      aseri that hs was as good a Chartist 33 myself , scd that if he thought he could obtain it , he would ytda the Charter to a repeal of tbe Corn Lsws . Kow , how conld I be disinclined Jo another exposure of one of the leaders tf the hitherto opponents of my party ! The l&et is , he nerer said one angle sentence J&ffii further discussion ; he had had a ** hettyfvW' of 2 ; moret > iaE he bargained for . However , while I ehstge him direcilv with one falsehood , I will pin

      lim ore way or other .

      STOPPAGE OP THE BANK OP PARKER , SHORE , & CO . { From our oxen Correspondent . ) The all-absorbing topic of the moment is the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Baik of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . This important intelligence was made kiown on Saturday last , through the medium of the following notice posted on tbe door of the bank : — " It is with the deepest regret that M essrs . Parker Shore , and'Co ., announce to their mnch-velued con-, nection and the pnblic , that , owing to the long-continned commercial depression , and tbe heavy losses which their banking-house has Enstained in preceding years , they are under the necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce to the creditors of the honse , that immediate steps will be taken to bring tfceir affairs to a close . Sheffield Bank , January Utn , 1843 . "

      The above intelligence was not generally known until Mocdy , when , as may be supposed , not a little excitement was the consequence . Soon after ten o ' cltck on Monday morning , the door of the bank was opened for a short time , and an act of bankruptcy was committed by refusing the payment of the notes . In tbe course of the forenoon , placards , of which the followiag is a copy were posted in the town : — u In consequence of the lamented suspension of

      payments by Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., it has been thought advisable by a number of the principal mo-chants and inhabitants of Sheffield , that a public meetiog should be convened to express their onabated confidence in the stability of ihe other banks of this town ; I accordingly hereby convene a meeting of the merchants , manufacturers , and inhabitants of Sheffield , to be held at the Cutlers Hall , at three o ' clock ! n the afternoon of this day , ( Monday ) when the company of as many as can attend is earnestly desired .

      - " "William Bboadhttrst , Master Cutler . " ° Sheffield , Jan . 16 , 1843 . " Siortly after three o ' clock the large room was crowded principally with the middle clas 3 ; a few working men were present who having nothing more profitable to do , came , seemingly , to see the long faces and hear the dolorous compliments of their u respectable" friends . On the motion of Mr . Page , seconded by Mr . Pierson , the Master Cutler was unauimously called to the chair . James Montgomery , Efq . moved , seconded by Samuel HatSeld , E = q . the following resolution , which was supported by X . Dann , Esq ., and carried M , P » nilii nr »» -lj a * * "That this meeting deeply regrets the clreumstances which have compelled the Sheffield Old Bank ,-of MesHrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., to suspend payment .

      William Eisher , Esq ., moved—seconded by Alfred j Sorby , Esq ., the second resolution , which was also carried nnanimousiy— i " Thatin order to obviate any aggraTation of the great calamity , by nnneBsary distrust , we , tbe undersigned , hereby express our entire and unabated con- j fidence in all the Banks at present existing in Shef- i field , viz : —The Sheffield and Rotherham Banking ; Company ; Messrs . Rimington and Younge ' s Bank ; the Sheffield Banking Company , the Yorkshire District Bank , tbb Sheffield and Hallamshire Banking Company , and the Sheffield and Retford Banking Company - ; and we pledge ourselves t » take their notes as usual . " On the motion of Joseph Levick , Esq ., seconded by Robert Sorbv , Esq ., the thanks of the meeting were veted to the Master Culler , for his promptitude in calling the meeting , and his conduct in the chair ,

      The Master Cutler acknowledged the compliment , and most of the commercial chiefs present having affixed their signatures to the second resolution the meeting broke np . In the evening window bills wero left at the priDcipal shops , of the town on which it was intimated that ihe notes of the above-named banks would be taken wherever the bills were exhibited . On Tuesday morning large placards were extensively posted , giving the resolution of confidence in the existing banks , adopted at the meeting on the previons day , with the names of the principal merchants and manufacturers of Sheffield attached .

      Tuesday being market day , there was as usual a large iciiux of country people , angmented , on this occasion , by the intelligence of the stoppage of the Old Bank ; many were the grievon 3 tales told , and mary who had come to Sheffield hoping to find rumuur false , as she nsnally is , found their hopes blasted and their fears realised—it wonld be with hea-ry hearts thty left Sheffield that evening . The tales of losses , or anticipated losses , which if they pTQ . vB to bs so , will inflict a vast amount of rain and suffering on the town , are , as may be suppesed , rife on- all sides . Wb are informed that the greater part oT the unions , sick club 3 , and other societies in the town had their funds lodged in the hands of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . ; of course great is the anxiety felt among those bodies .

      The third edition of tne Jris stated that arrangements were in progress for immediately re-opening the bank ; but the Independent is nearer the mark in stating " that the affairs of the bank will be wound up under a fiat in bankruptcy , " adding what a great many will fervently pray may prove trne , " that it is confidently expected that the assets of the iack , a ' idvd by tne property of tbe partners , will prove more than adequate to the payment of all demands . " Notwithstanding the promptitude of the Master

      Cutler , and the confidence resolutions of the respectables , ( which no doubt has done something to prevent pauicO credit is so far shaken ( and no wonder , for of all banks in the town , the Old Bank had , up to last Saturday , by far the greatest share of public confidence . ) that to our knowledge not a few of the shop-Seeping commnnity have determined to refuse , and -are refasme , all notes except Bank of England . A few days will test the boasted w stability" more than one- suspected establishment . Enough for the present , that there is anything bnt that confidence so much vaunted of .

      i informed that Simpson was the individual who struck : him , he i accompanied bv three other soldiers , pro-• ceeded to Simpson ' s honse , and the four drew their i swords and threatened ihat if Simpson did not go 1 with tliem to tbe lock-up they would stab him , or } any other person who might attempt to rescue him ' Simpson Trai obliged to go with them , and was bTouehi -op on Friday , when the above was stated . Mr . Hunt , solicitor , defended Simpam , and it was proved he was not ihe person who had struck the soldier . Mr . Royds Immediately discharged defendant , and the soldiers were severely reprimanded I for their rash proceedingB . —[ WaB that all !]

      EULZi . —Some little excitement has been produced within these two or three weeks by the refusal of Mr . Padgett , the late treasnrer ar . d agent of the Association , for newspapers , publications , and beverage , to produce and make up his books , or to give to the Council any account of tbe monies which have gone throngh his hands during the past year . Tnis , as he and the Council should have gone out of office at the end of December was absolutely necessary . Every effort however was made , bat all of them unsuccessful , to induce him so to do . He positively refused to bring the books to tho Council at all for inspection , or to make out any balance , bo as to enable them to bring the accounts of the Association before ths members for final auditing .

      After repeated applications , which wera met only witn inEult , the Council determined to bring the matter before the members . Accordingly a members' meeting was determined on for last Monday evening , to take the whole matter into consideration . Bnt the Council having learned in the meantime that Mr . Padgett would , on that evening , be engaged at a dinner to be given fy the Sturgeite Corn Law Repealers , to him and Mr . Webster for their serviceaal the late Conference , the resolution wasresoinded . and -f&e meeting fixed for Tuesday , to give Mr . Padgett an opportunity to attend . He did attend . Mr . Arran was called to the chair , and a very long and patient

      investigation of the whole matter was gone intoample latitude was given to Mr . Padgett to say whatevi r he pleased in reply to every speaker , save the closing reply of the mover of a resolution , which was adopted . He was supported by one or two personB in most irregular ana factious style ; and , after more than two hours' conversational discussion , a resolution was almost unanimously adopted , affirming that " In the opinion of this meeting , the condnct of Mr . Padgett , the late Treasurer , in refusing to make up his books , or give an account of the monies that have passed through hi 3 hatds , that the Councillors may retire from C-ffice . is at VBria-npn with ctjt »« ure Irom ttneeis at variance with

      . , every principle of Chartism and honesty , and disentitles him to the confidence of this Association . " An amendment was moved , " That a Cominiuee be appointed to see to the matter . " About eight persons voted for the amendment , and about forty for the resolution . Mr . Padget very coolly assured the meeting that they might pass whatever resolutions they pleased ; it would make no difference at all to him , and walked away . A council meeting wia ordered for the next evening ; the seoretarv was directed to send a written note to Mr . Padgett , requesting his attendance at the meeting for the purpose of fi ally closing the accounts . Mr . Padgett Eent a verbAl answtr to tbe Council , that he

      considered the business done with by last night ' s vote , and that he had other business to attend to . Oa this s ' . atemant being made to tho Council , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " Tnat this Council , having Tepeatedly , wiihin the last three weeks , requested Mr . Padgett , the late treasurer , to produce his books that the accounts of the Council may be made np and audited previous to their retirement from office , and that person having constantly refused to Jo so , or to make out any account of the monies which have gone through his hands for the ktt year ; having specially r ; quested Mr . Padgett to attend this meeting for the purpose of having the aceonnts finally made up , and that person having refnsed , the members oF this council are reluctantly compelled to declare Mr . Padgett utteriy unworthy of trust or confidence j and this council wiJl not hereafter act or consult with Mr . Padgett on any matter

      or thing which may concern the Chartist movement ; and this council request that none of their Chartist brethren will hereafter pay money into Mr . Padgett ' s hands . " There was not upon this resolution one dissentient . Every member present , whether of the new or old council , as well as some members of the Association , who were not councillors , knowing all the circumstances , heartily concurred in it . It was then resolved unanimously : " That this Council do no ? v dissolve , and that the new Conncil enter upon made for procuring new books in place of those frandently withheld by Mr . Padgett , and for preventing , as far as may be , that person from furtherappropriating the monies of the Association . Various matters of loeal business were then gone into with an excellent spirit of unanimous good feeling . Among ihe rest , Mr . Hill was reqnested , by resolution , to deiivir a lecture to the Chartist of Hull , on Monday evening , to which he assented .

      IONDON . -A PnBLrc Meeting , numerously attended , was held on Tuesday evening , at the bocial Hall , Whitechapel , to hear the report of the Delegates , sent from tha Tower Hamlets to the Birmingham Conference . Mr . Drake was called to the ohair , and after briefly opening the meeting and stating its objects , called apon Mr . M'Grath to deliver his report . Mr . M'Grath commenced by statin * : that tney were assembled in accordance with tbe Democratic principle they were struggling to establish , that those to whom power was entrusted should be responsible for its exercise , and Bhould render an acoount of their stewardship . That salutary controul vested in the hands of the people would be almost in itself sufficient to make a rogue

      an honest man . Tfee ; public press having placed before the country the business transacted at the Conference , he should confine himself to the question of what good that assembly bad done ; the prospective good which they had in view in assembling at Birmingham , was the probability of a union being effected with the-middle clashes , but , notwithstanding the Chartist Delegates had promoted this objeot wuh all their hearts , it had signally failed ; still good had been effected ; several alterations had been made in the dooument called the People's Charter which in his opinion , were improvements , bnt the grand good in his opinion was the great demonstration in the very heart of England in favour of the People ' s Charter . Delegates 1 were there assembled

      from the bills and valleys of Scotland and Wales , and from the green fields of England , asserting that they would join in ho agitation vrhrch did not go to inscribe the People ' s Charter on the Statute Book of tho land . ( Cheers . ) He was glad to see a member of tho Council of the Complete Snffrago union upon the platform . He accused that body et injustioe towards the delegates assembled at the Conference . They had no authority to foist a bill of their own upon the attention of the Conference ; it had met expressly to prepare a bill and not to discuss one proposed by the Council . He was anxious to have voted for the motion to have the two bills laid upon the 'table , and to show to the world that if any improvements could be made in

      the Charter , they were willim ; to adopt them ; but the Complete Suffrage Party would not agree to that ; they were determined to have their Bill , their whole Bill , and nothing but their Bill- ( hear )—and because the Conference would not agree to this they had the extiemo insolence aud audacity to go to another room , vote themselves the Conference , and proceed with their own Bill . In his opinion the test of sincerity was consistency , and when ho saw the isturge party pretending to democracy , and acting in such an undemocratic manner , it proved to him that their professions were insinoere , and that the time was not yet arrived when the middle class would cordially co-operate with them . Mr . M'Grath then in an eloquent strain shewed the manner in which

      the working men had ever been roade the tools in the hands of the middle and upper classes ; he adverted to the speeches of Dr . Ritchie and Mr . Miall at tha Conference , and denied that the middle classes liad ever rescued the principles of the Charter from odium or disgrace . One of the main objections made against it at the Conforen . ee was , that they were physical force O'Connoiite Chartists ; he rerepelled their charge of physical force ; if by being an O'Counorite Chartist they meant oue who was a Chartist because O'Connor was , he denied the statement . He was a Chartist from principle , from firm conviction ; ho was a Chartist because ho bore the mark of tyranny on his brow ; because he thought injustice to man was an inault to

      God . But if to admire O'Connor was to be an O'Connorite Chartist , then he was one . If he compared the efforts of O'Connor with those of auy man of his day , or with those of Home Tooke , Cartwright , or those patriots who had preceded him , he must give to O'Connor the honour of pre-eminence in the advocacy of the People ' s rights . When was there a victim in distress wanting bail , that O'Connor did not support and' relieve him t So long as gratitude was a distinctive feature in the Britith character ; so long as O'Connor continued in . tho same course as he did at present ; so long would he have the support , gratitude , and affection of the Dftfirilo , JVJr .-A 3 ifi » nt > - * . tJii «« f , wVuj / iOuOijr vA'puovu wu fallacy of it ? lerding doctrines , sat down loudly

      cheered . Mr- Robson britfly supported the views advanced by his brother delegates , and should be happy to answer any questions which might bo put to hm . Mr . Wilson should not occvipy their time aty further than to correct a wrong ' statement in the minutes of the Conference . In section the 5 ih of penalties , it stated that Mr . Wilson moved an amendment that the penalty should be six months imprisonment and deprivation of electoral rights for three years , this was incorrect ; he moved tht » punishment of six months , and entirely objected to the three years' disfrar . chisement . He took that opportunity publicly to correct the mistatement , Mr . Robson made an apology for the absence of the other delegate , Dr . Wade . The Chairman then

      enquired ifar . y parties had any observation to make . Mr . Neesom Baid , that seeing by the placards it was a publio meeting of the inhabitants and not a meeting of any class , he should state his opinion upon the subject before them . At the election of delegates he had allowed himself to be put in nomination merely to gain a hearing , knowing from past experience that it was not always to bo obtained . An observation had been marie that a member of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union was in the room . He acknowledged being the person alluded to . He had stated at tbe election that it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether they elected him or not , as he could attend as a member of the Council , aud

      speak upon any subject , though he should bo deprived , and that very justly , too , of a vote . He should have been a most . consummate blockhead , if he had expected to have been elected after ihe treatment he had received on various occasions . Mr . Neesom then stated that if he had been at the Conference , he should have acted in a similar manner to their delegates ; that he considered tho Charter entitled to equality , if not to precedence . He had uo hopes that union could be tffected between the middle ai d working classes . As a whole , they were both too ignorant to be in a condition to unite for any common good , but be bad expected that a union might have been effected between the honest and intelligent nortions of both classes . He

      disapproved ot the conduct of the Council of the Suffrage Onion , and should retire from that body—( cheers ) . He did not say that to gain their applause , for he would as soon have their displeasure . He should also withdraw from being a member of the Suffrage Association , if they in any way acted inconsistent with the principles they professed . Mr . Frazermoved the following resolution , "That this meeting haviDg heard the report of their delegates to the late Birmingham Conference , highly approve of their straightforward , manly , and independent conduct , and hereby tender them , as a commensurate reward , thia their public mark of confidence and approbation . " Mr . Benbow seconded the resolution , which was carried uuanimously . Mr .

      Neesom moved the resolution embodying a portion of that passed at the Birmingham Conference , and concluding with entreating the Chartists to abstain from wantonly interrupting public meetings called by any section of Reformers , aud in a long address endeavoured to show the impolicy of opposing the Corn Law Repeal meetings , disclaiming at the same time that ho was receiving any portion of the League £ 50 , 000 . Mr . Hooper bri fly seconded the resolution . Mr . Robson moved , as an amendment , tho resolution passed by the Conference . Mr . Man ^ z , in a speech of considerable length , seconded the amendment . Mr . Edwards supported the motion , and charged the Chartists with violently interrupting pablic meetings—( cries ofi" Name , name , " )—at the City-road , during the discussion between Watkins

      and Watson . Mr . Wheeler replied to the charges of Mr . Edwards . Mr . Bogg : ' s supported the amendment . Tne Chairman then put the motion and the amendment , when the latter was carried with two dissentients . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated . Floba Tavern , York-place , Barnsbury Pabk . —Mr . Knight lectured heie on Sunday evening j subject , " What is the secret enemy which destroyB ns , " and showed to the satisfaction of his audience that pride and prejudice were the principal causes of the disunion and weakness existing in the people ' s ranks ; when united , the people were all-powerful , but when divided they were weak and powerless to effect any great object . The room was crowded to excess , and % vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr . Knight for hia services .

      CiERKEN-vrELL . —The Chartists of Clerkenwell held their usual weekly meeting at the Patriot Coffee House , on Monday evening last . Mr . Fozxen in the chair . After the transaction , of business of minor importance , on the motion of Mr . Wheeler , it was resolved that the locality elect a delegate to the Motropolitan delegate council . Mr . Sharp was accordingly elected as a delegate . Some observations w / re then made by a member on the propriety of considering Mr . Cooper ' s plan or organization . Tha chairman read the plan to the meeting , when it was determined that it should be brought before the members next meeting night , for their approval or dissent .

      TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . My Friends—I earnestly direct jour attention to the fact , that the " Political Victim iDefenco and Family Support Fund" haa been almost entirely overlooked during the past month or ! six weeksyour attention , during that period , having ( naturally enough ) been absorbed by the proceedings connected with the recent Conference . Now , however , that the business of that Conference has been transacted , you will not be angry when assured that you will prove yourselves as base slaves and cowards aB ever disgraced manhood , if you further delay a duty , which , it must be candidly admitted , has been a great deal too much neglected . f

      Tae recent Conference honoured me by their unanimous appointment as the Treasurer of this too necessary , and I repeat , equally unfortunately , too greatly neglected fund . Now , it rests with youthe people—to determine whether this [ appointment eha 1 be something more than a mere ! pretence—a bitter mockery to our perstcuted friends , and an insult to myself personally ; for in uo | other light could J view the appointing me to an ofliee to which no duties arc attached . Mako me really and truly your treasurer , and I will honestly fulfil my trust , ; but I will not be a treasurer in name only .

      As an evidence of my desire to aid you in creating a fund equal to the necessities of the occasion , I now beg to submit a proposal to you . As the proprietor of the English Chartist Circular , I have accumulated an immense stock of back numbers of that publication ; that is , I have sunk * " a pretty considerable " sum , —as Brother Jonathan would sayf-in printing more copies of each number of the Circular than the people thought proper to purchase . Possibly , in the course of time , this " back stock" of mine right be lessened by its subsequent sale for perfecting sets and volumes of the Circular . But be that as it may , I think it better to devote it to an immediate good

      purpose . Well , then , I propose to place this " back stock" of my Circular at your disposal . Thia offer , however , is a conditional one , namely , that you sell as well as purchase tho Circular , and apply the proceeds to the Defence Fund ! This can be easily effected . For instance , a Local Council of the National Charter Association , forward to mo ten shillings and four-pence ; in return , I will send them four hundred copies of the Circular . Having disposed of these , they will have returned their ten shillings and fonr . -penco , ( which I snail jhave placed to the Defence Fund , ) together with ja profit for their own local association ! '

      Say , is not thia a plan in which even the very " poorest of the poor" can co-operate ? Recollect , too , that it will enabb you to effect three good objects at one and the same time , namely , the creation of a defence fund—the diffusion of your principles , as advocated in the Circular—and the augmentation of your local funds . ] I now leave this matter in your hands , with , the hope that you will decide quickly upon it . At any rate , whether you accept or decline my offer * one thing is quite certain—we must now have a proper defence fund . We can count but a few weeks between the month of March , when our persecuted friends must take their tria\—defended , if you supply them with the mean ^ of defence : without defenoe , if you are base ep ough to leave them to the " tender mercy , " and unchecked brutality of an

Kidd was received with general marks of approbation , and lectured in firstrate 8 tylefor upwards of two hours , proving to the satisfaction of all present , that nothing short of the People's Charter coald effectually remove the present misery so lamentably prevalent in the industrious ranks of society in these realms . After depicting the great amount of misery which exists in many parts of the country which he had lately visited , ha declared himself prepared to prove that nothing short of the suffrage of the People ' s Charter could

      substantially alleviate that distress ; he was prepared to prove that the agitators for Complete Suffrage ( as they termed themselves as a distinction from the Chartists ) were ether dishonest , or that they were acting impolitic , and consequently inimical to the cause of universal freedom ; and that he was likewise prepared to prove to Mr . Cobden or any other person that the free-trade nostrums of the League would not enrich the working classes of thia country , as they pretend , but that a repeal of the Corn Laws , under existing circumstances , would be a curse instead of a blessing to tbe British sons ot toil . Mr . K . advanced many strong arguments in support of his position , and remarked that he haA

      many more to advance , which he would then reserve , as he would in » U probability have an opportunity of en tering more fully into the subject in the course of the week , when he hoped the advocates of free trade ( 1 ) would have the manliness of meeting him upon the subject . Mr . Kidd concluded the lecture by calling upon all who had the interest of the industrious classes of thi 3 nation at heart , to come and unite for the Charter , as nothing but' unanimity on the part of the working people was requisite to effect their glorious object . The chairman ihen gaid thai if ajut jio » o <«»

      would have the same opportunity afforded them of expressing their opinions as he had , that he would p ledge himself that they Would get a couneous hearing , ¦ and that Mr . Kidd was ready to answer any questions respecting his lecture and to maintain the posiions he had taken . No questions having been put , a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Mr .

      cold as the hearts of the men of Manchester in the great eause of political redemption . He was sorry to see tbe thinness of the meeting , in fact he was more than sorry , he was displeased : especially when be knew that on certain occasions twenty tbousaad Chartista could be mustered with very short notice . He did expect that as the town had been placarded announcing the meeting and the subject of tbe lecture that they would have had a good meeting , for be must confess that he would much rather have Been three thousand in the hall than a few hundreds as on the present occasion . Not that he cared , as far as the advocacy of tha Chartist principles were concerned , whether there were tweniy or twenty thousand present ; but in tha town where Chartism was tbe most popular , it showed a great amount ef apathy in the people Mr .
