At the usual "weekly jneetinj of the IrDndon members of tb * National Association , the following Resolutions ana BsmoEstrsnce ware proposes by Jaesra lovett ana Simmonds , and nnanimonsly agreed to , and ordered to be sect to tie liberal papers : — ¦«* _ , That at all Junes ttie Represenfeativea of a free lad intellectual people , stndionsly seeking to promote the public -welfare , are highly entitled ana will ever Becure public courtesy and public esteem , and trill only be lowered in the estimatien of eTery rejecting mind when they absurdly demand that the wants and wishes of the people Eball be made known to them in the abiect , humble , supplicating terms of a petition . the of Parliament

      " Iba * Commons' Bouse , no ways representing the people oftbose realms , bnt year after year legislating in open defiance of their wishes and interest , has perpetuated this relic of feudal and despotic bar tsnsm , te the disgust of all mental independence and manly feeling ; and unlessihi * JutmbUjsupp licaiinff is soon dispersed with , bids fair to render public applications to the XegJslsfcare a bye word and derision . ** 3 . That we , in cosjunctioa with our fellow countrymen , having complied with this absurd nSage of humbly jusying and petitioning yeas after year for a redress of grievances , and only obtaining for out answer new bnrfiiens and additional wrongs , now respectfully call upon the people of the United Kingdom to adopt and sign with us the following , asaNATiosAiKEHONSTSAKCE , to be forwarded to Parliament ,-preparatory to the Bodon that is to be made next sessions for the People ' s Charter . " TO THE COHMOSS' HOTTSB OF PASLIAHEKT IN

      IHEIB COLLECIl / S CAPACITY ASSEMBLED , 27 » e Remonstrance of the undersigned Inhabitants of this Kingdom ^ Sheweih , —That we have just canse of complaint and remonstrance against yon , who , in the same of the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , profess to leprerent , "watch over , and legislate for'our interests . That ai the aneiest _ a& comtitationsl custom of public petitioning has , by year acts , been Tendered a mere mockery , we are thus induced to substitute a public remonstrance to you—it being the legitimate means hy which any portion of the people , whose political rights have one by one been legislated away by their rulers , can appeal to the pnblic epinion of their country—a tribunal by whose will representation is alone Tendered constitutional , and for whose benefit alone Government is established .

      We justly complain of your ntter disregard , and seeming contempt , of the wants and wishes of the people , as expressed in the prayers and petitions they have been humbly addressing to you , for a number of jean past . For while they have been complaining of the 'unequal , unjust , and cruel laws you have enacted , which in their operation have reduced millions to poverty , and punished them because they were poor , you have been either increasing the catalogue , or Slocking them with Expensive and fruitless commisaions , or telling them , that "their poverty was beyond "Hie reach of legislative enactment **

      While they have been complaining that you take from them three-fourths of their earning , by your complicated system of taxation—and , by your monopolies , fores them into unequal competition with other nations •—yon have exhibited a contempt for their complaints in your profligate and lavish expenditure at home and abroad , and by a selfish pertinacity in . favour of the monopolies you have created for your own especial interests or those of your party . While they have been praying that the Civil list stay be reduced in proportion to the exigencies of the

      state : and , at a time like the present , when bankruptcy , insolvency , and national destitution prevail to » n extent ¦ unparall&lea iniistory , that her Majesty and her Censort sheold be made acquainted with the necessity for dispensing with useless and extravagant fiivoStiBSj yet you , in ready compliance with the wishes of the Ministry , have gratified such extravagance at the expense of want and wretchedness . If you tad "been-loyal-to your Qaeen , or just to your country , you would have shown her -the necessity for retrenchment in every department of her household .

      While the humane and considerate portlen of the population have been demonstrating to you the evils of ignorance and source of crime , and have been entreating job to apply to the purposes of education and serial improvement the enormous sums which yon inhumanly employ in punishing the victims of your vicious institutions and culpable neglect , you have gone on recklessly despising the prayers of humanity and justice , Bogmexsting your police , increasing your soldiers , raising prisons , and devising new means of coercion , in s-useless attempt to prevent « rime by severity of punishment—instead of cultivating the grind « , improving the hearts , and administering to the physical necessities of the people .

      While the intelligence and humanity of our countrymen have been loudly expressed against-sanguinary and samel wars—barbarous means for brutalising the people , and perpetuating bull dog courage under the name of glory—yen , who profess to watch over onr Interests , have , hi order to gratify aristocratiral cupidity , selfishness , and ambitioa , been supporting unjust and uncalled for wars , by which thousands of human beings is 7 e beta led on to slaughter and to death , and through -which our enormous debt has bees increased , and the xfi ^ ma of cruelty and injustice brought upon our Tj ^ tS f ""^ character . While ^ jur brethren have been ^ raying for religions freedom , yon have allowed a state church to take from them upwards of r £ ne millions per annum j- independent of the evils it inflicts ~ on them fey its troublesome imports , grasping Belfishntsat , and anti-gospel persecuting spirit .

      While our brethren have been -contending for the bee circulation of thought and opinion , through the channel of an unshackled press , as a means by which truth may fee elicited , and our institutions improvedyou have been imposing the most arbitrary measures to check public opinion , retard freedom of inquiry , and to prevent knowledge from being cheaply diffused . While our social evils and anomalies have repeatedly been brought "before you , yon , / whose dnty it was to provide a remedy , have looted carelessly on , or been intent only on your interests or your pleasures . Your own eonnniBsioners have reported to you , that thousands of infant children are etoemsd to slavery and ignorance in

      our mines and factories , while their wretched parents are wanting labour and seeding bread—that wives and xnotbds , to-procure a miserable subsistence for their fgnnHw * , are compelled to neglect their efi&pring and their homes , and all the domestic duties which belong to their sex ; that thousands of skilful mechanics are starving on a few pence , which they obtain for fourteen hoars daily toil—that vast numbers , anxious to labour , are left to linger and perish from" coldand hunger—that in Ireland alone two million three hundred thousand are in a state of beggary and destitution ; and that miBery , wretchedness , and crime are fast spreading their deteriorating influence , and gradually undermining the Jabrae of society . . -- »~

      Bar isyour mlsgovemment confined *» this country alone , but ita baleful influence 1 * felt in every part of the world where British authority is known . Throughout our dominions you have permitted rights the most sacred to 3 » invaded in order to provide nesting-places for aristocraties ] Sedg lings . You have disregarded the constitutions yeu have given , violated Use premises you liave made , and , spuming the prayers and petitions of our eolsnxal brethren , you have trampled upon every principle ot justice to establish jour power , and feed your ravenous last for gain . You have , therefore , shown oy your ads that yon do not represent the wants and wishes of the people ; on da contrary , self , or party oonsideratioDS are seen to almsst every enactment you have made , or measure you have sanctioned . So far from representing the commons of Jhis ecuEtry , or legislating for them , the majority of you have neither feelings nor interests in common with them .

      It is also proved , fcby the returna that have be » n made , that 39 of you are returned by less than 300 elector * each , 43 by less than , 400 , SO by less than 500 , 34 by less than 600 , 34 by less than 700 , 20 by less thsn 800 , 18 fey less than 900 , and 23 by less than 1 , 900 registered electora . It is moreovfr notorious that , in the Commons House , which is said to be exclusively the people ' s ! there are two Jttuidred and Jive persons who are immediately or remotely related to : the peers of the realm 1 That it also contains 3 matquisses , 9 earls , S 3 visoounts ,

      37 lords , 32 right honourables , 63 honourables , 58 baronets , 10 knights , 2 admirals , 8 lord lieutenants , 74 deputy and viee-lieutenanta , 1 general , 1 lieutenantgeneral , 7 major-generals , 22 colonels , 32 lieutenantcolonels , 7 majors , 67 captains in army and navy , 32 lieutenants . 3 cornets , 53 magistrates , 63 placemen , besides 108 patrons of church livings having the patronage cf 247 livings between them ; and there are little more than 200 out of the 658 members of your house , who have not ethar titles , office , place , pension , oi church patronage .

      These facts afford abundant . proofs that you neither represent the number or the ittleresls of the millions , but that the greatest portion of you have interests foreign , or directly opposed , to the tine interests of the people of this country . Betting aside your party changes and rival bickerings , important only to those among you who are in possession of the pnblic purse ; with a knowledge of your past actions and with these notorious facts before us , —as plain-tpeakisg men , claiming the freedom of speech as our birthright , we hesitate not to declare , that individually and collectively you have all been tried by the test o ! public utility \ and with few exception have been found wanting in evsry requisite for representatives o ! an intelligent and industrious population .

      The wide extent of misery which your legislation iiaB occasioned , and the spread of information which your decrees could not suppress , have called up enquiring minds in every portion of the empire to investigate your actions , to question your authority , and finally to condemn your unjust and exclusive power . They have demonstrated to their brethren , that the only rational use of the institutions and laws of society , is to protect , encourage , and support , all that can be made to contribute to thehappiTiessofallthe people . That as the object to be attained is mutual benefit , so ought the enactment of laws to be by mutual consent . Th&t obedience to the laws can only be jusllv enforced on the certainty that those who are called on to obey them have had , either personally or by their representatives , a power to enact , amend , or repeal them .

      That all who are excluded from this share of political power , are not justly included within the' operation of the laws . To them the laws are not only despotic enactments ; and the assembly from whom they emanate can only be considered an unholy interested compact devising plans and schemes for taxing and subjugating the many . In consonance with these opinions , they have embodied in a document called " The People ' s Charter , " such just and reasonable principles of representation as , in their opinion , are calculated to secure honest legislation and good gavernment That document proposes to confer the franchise on every citizen of twenty-one years of age , who has resided in a district three months , who is of sane mind , and unconvicted of crime .

      It proposes to divide the United Kingdom into three hundred electoral districts , containing as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants , each district to send one Member to Parliament , and no more . It proposes to take the votes of the electors by ballot , in order to protect them against unjust influence . It proposes that Parliament be chosen Annually . It propose 3 to abolish property qualifications for members of Parliament . It proposes that members of Parliament be paid for their services : and moreover contains the details by which all these propositions shall be carried into practice .

      This document , being so just , in its demands , has already received the sanction of a vast portion of the population , and petitions in its favour have already been laid before you , containing a larger utfmber of signature 3 than , probably , has ever been obtained in favour of any legislative enactment : and though indiscretion among some of its advocates may have retarded public epinion in its favour , we are confident that the conviction in favour of its justice and political efficacy has taken deep root in the mind of the nation , and is making rapid progress among all classes not interested in existing corruptions .

      That you may aee the wisdom and propriety of timely yielding to such opinion in favour of a better representative system , and that you will speedily declare in faveur of the People ' s Chaeieb ; or , by resigning your seats , prepare the way for those who will enact it as the law of these realms , is the ardent prayer of the undersigned inhabitants of this kingdom .

Sharp , from the patriots , Clerkenwell-green . Tiro shDlingH and sixpence was received for the delegate meeting from the ; Clock House ; two shillings and sixpence from Globe-fields ; and two shillings and sixpence from the silk weavers locality . llr . Rose reported from the Metropolitan TicOm Fund Committee ; Mr . Simpson moved , and Mr . Wheeler seconded , the following resolution : — " That this delegate metting recommend to the various localities throughout the metropolis which are not represented on the Metropolitan Victim Pefenca and Support Fund

      Committee the propriety of immediately sending a delegate to assist in carrying its operations into effect " Messrs . Humphreys , Droa , Page , Maynard , * Rose , and other delegates ably . supported the motion , which was unanimously carried . Mr . Wheeler reported regarding the funds of the delegate meeting . Mr . Simpson , as metropolitan treasurer of Masoa ' s Defence Fund , reported the amount of money , &o ., which be had remitted . Mr . Humphreys , moved , and Mr . Sron seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . Simpson for his services as treasurer to the above fund , carried unanimously . Mr . Wheeler moved , and Mr . Rose seconded , the following resolution : — " That this delegate meeting feel highly gratified with the liberal offer of Mr . Cleave in

      reference to the back numbers of the English Chartist Girailar , and strongly recommend the metropolitan districts and the country generally to accept of the offer and carry it into immediate operation , it being an easy , and at the same time an efficient mode of realizing funds in aid of those who have been Tictimizsd in the Chartist cause . " Several delegate * having expressed themselves favourable to the motion , it was unanimously agreed to . The subject of the address of the proprietor « f the Evening Star was spoken to by Messrs . Simpson and Wheeler . Mr . Mudge moved , and Mr . Grew seconded , That we take Into consideration Mr . Cooper ' s Plan of Organization . " Carried . After some little discussion aa to the method to be pursued in carrying out the resolution ,

      . Mr . Cufiay moved the following resolution : — "That it is the opinion of this Delegate Meeting that the new Plan of Organization proposed by Mr . Cooper is by no means equal to the old plan if that is properly acted upon , we therefore respectfully reject it , at the aame time vfa think there is room for amendment in the old plan . " He considered the expense of the new plan would be an insurmountable objection , be was opposed to the presidential sittings , and to the aristocratic manner in which the salaries were appointed . He was also opposed to the Convention electing officer * for the whole association , and gave the plan his decided opposition . Mr . Maynard seconded the resolution . He should give the plan his most unqualified and determined opposition . He conceived it would require enormous funds

      to carry it out ; in his opinion it was entirely undemocratic to allow a committee to elect a head for the whole association ; he was in favour of the present plan , ¦ with some slight alterations . He thought that the people had been equally to blame with the Executive In not carrying it out . The Executive should be properly paid for their services , and attend solely to the business of the country . Mr . Simpson entirely disapproved of Mr . Cooper's plan , and considered that he < Mr . C . ) had been equally guilty with others in deviating from the old plan Mr . Rose was in favour of the plan advocated by Mr . Hill , of a paid Secretary and an unpaid committee . Mr . Wheeler was opposed to the main feature of the plan proposed by Mr . Cooper . The election of officers by a limited Convention , would give great Bcope for the

      exercise of faction ; he could see no , utility in having a Vice President or a Vice Secretary , unless it was to make up the number of five , which Mr . Cooper considered to be necessary for an Executive . He was in favour of a paid Secretary , an unpaid Treasurer , and a committee of four residing in the same town as the Secretary , who should act as assistants or advisers to Mm , and receive a « mall monthly sofary for their services . Mr . Dron abouM record his opinions in opposition to the plan of Mr . Copper , but was also opposed to an unpaid committee , as proposed by Mr . Hill ; he conceived that to be flying from one flTtrftn'q to the other—he was in favour of a middle course . He wag very sorry that the country had ceased to send in contributions to the Executive until they were , out of office or had resigned . It was a duty incumbent upon them to afford them taeir support / Mt Page was opposed , to the principle features of Mr Cooper" * plan

      , out thought that the system of monthly Balance Sheets and CiMsPapen would Jbe an improvemeat upon the pre » art plan . Mr . Midge agreed with the other peafcert in reference to the proposed pJari of Mr . Cooper . A delegate expressed hi * sbrprUe that no member of the Conference from London , ahooid have been made acquainted with the meeting of delegates at ] rt d « h Mr .

Cofiay ' a motion , rejecting the plan of Mr . Cooper , was unanlmoualy agreedAo . Mr . Wheeler brought forward a resolution , expressive or the views he entertained relative to an Executive . Mr .

      given to a similar effect . Mr . Page was instructed by the Bloomsbnry locality to lay before them the following resolution , agreed to at a public meeting of that body : " Resolved , that it is the opinion of this meeting that on account of the important business transacted by the National Charter Association , we , the Chartists of Bloomfibnry , feel called upon to recommend , and think it most important that the Metropolitan delegate meeting should immediately goto the election of a General Secretary ( pro . tern J , to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr . John Campbell ; we deem it of the greatest consequence , owing to the very unsettled state of affairs , not knowing where to apply fox cards or otherwise to forward communications whieh it is the business of a General Secretary alone to receive . We

      therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the said delegate meeting the necessity of purchasing a fresh Bet of books , in case Mr . . Campbell ( the late Secretary ) do not immediately give up the books , cards , and papers , the same being property belonging to the National Charter Association . We further recommend that the delegate meeting do take into their consideration the propriety of making some alteration in the cards to be issued in future , or take such means : as they may think proper , to prevent any cards ( held back from the Association ) being issued , until the said Association are perfectly satisfied and the accounts settled . We , the Chartists of Bloomsbury , think this a most important question on account of a determination come to by Mi . Campbell not to give up the books ,

      cards , and papers until he the said J . Campbell is paid the Bum of £ 16 15 b Old . being monies due to him by the said association . " The resolut ion , on the motion of Mr . Rose ,-was received . Mr . Page then brought bis motion for the delegate meeting to appoint a secretary pro . iem . Messrs . Wheeler , Dron , Cuffay , and others thought that the delegate meeting had no antbority , and that the matter must be left to the decision of the whole body . Mr . Page then postponed the motion until the following Sunday . Mr . Mudge having stated his intention cf going for a period into the West of England , the Secretary was instructed to give him : a certificate , as being an active and trustworthy Chartist After the transaction of other minor business , the meeting adjourned .

      Mr . Pab . h 1 lectured to a very numerous audience on Sunday evening , at the National Association Hall , Hoiborn , upon " The Life and Genius of Lord Byron . " It was an intellectual treat of the highest order , and gave universal satisfaction . Political and Scientific Institute . —An important meeting of the Committee was held on Sanday , Mr . J . Coleman in chair . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed . Deputations were appointed to visit all the localities in London , to request the members to take up shares in the above Institution immediately , for the purpose of

      completeing the repairs requisite previous to the opening of the same , which is expected to be in about a month ' s time . The working committee reported the progress of repairs and recommended some plans regarding the lighting up the large room , and also a plan of the platform which were ado pted by the committee and ^ grted to by this committee . The deputation appointed to collect funds reported the result of their labours , from which it appeared the total amounts collected by gifts , shares , and loans , amounted to about one hundred pounds , which has been expended in repairs and towards paying the premium of , £ 100 for lease . The following prospectus has been issued : —

      THE CITI OF LONDON POLITICAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION . lst—The objects of the Institute are to establish a cheap and commodious place of meeting , for all ordinary public occasions , ( except that of religious discussions ) sash u Political Meetings of any party , trades meetings , lectures , and innocent recreations . ' 2 nd . —Te ^ establish a library and reading room , upon such moderate terms as to allew the working classes to freely profit thereby . 3 rd . —To establish a day school , at the lowest possible price , yet of a character calculated to afford sound and useful education . 4 th—The management of the Institute will be under twenty-five directors , nineteen of whom are appointed from and by the shareholders at each of their annual general meetings ; the six trusteesbeing ex offido directors .

      The committee have taken possession of part of a large building in Turnagain-lane , Skinner-street , City of London , which they are converting into a Hall , 76 ft long by 24 ft wide , capable of holding one thousand five hundred persons , which will have , attached to it a Library room and Committee room . The premises are taken for four yean and nine months , from Christmas , 1842 , at the yearly rent of thirty guineas , after paying a premium of one hundred pounds , and are held in the names of six trustees . A deposit has been paid to the landlord , and an agreement for * a lease executed , with liberty to extend the term to seven , fourteen , or twentyone years longer . The calculation which the committee have made of the yearly cost of the Hall is as follows ;— £ a . d . Premium , paid on deposit ... 5 0 0 To be paid by the 20 th Feb . 18 * 3 95 0 Estimates of repaixB and fitting up 200 0 0

      £ 300 0 0 Which divided by 4 f yean , makes per annum ... 80 o 0 Rent 31 10 0 Taxes m 15 0 o Insurance 4 0 0 £ 130 10 0 The Committee have divided tbe right in that Hall into five thousand shares of five shillings each , which , when sold , would afford an ample fund for carying out the objects : of the Institute .

      But as success in selling the shares will in , some measure depend upon the occupation anduse of the Hall , the committee have determined to ask the aid of those who agree with them in the great usefulness of their undertaking . Three hundred and forty shares have been sold , and donations to the amount of thirty pounds have been received , independent of others promised . Theophilus Salmon , Secretary , 6 , New Court , Farringdon-street The committee in laying tbe above prospectus before the public , wish to say that the sums therein enumerated will cover every expense requisite to carry out tbe objects , therein contained , as they consider it very important , that tbe public should not be buoyed up with

      false hopes , as is the case too often among companies to catch the unwary . The books of rules have also been printed and ordered to be sold at two-pence each only , to be had of the committee and any agent and committee in all the rooms of meeting in London . The deputations appointed to visit various members of Parliament , reported the result of their labours , which were on the whole very encouraging . Mr . O'Connor bad also promised to give three lectures on the land in the new hall , when opened for the benefit of tbe same . Among the noblemen and gentlemen who subscribed to the establishment of tbe Hall , were the following : —The Right Hon . Earl Radnor , £ 15 ; Thomas Penn , Esq ., of Greenwich , £ 5 Ss . who promised further assistance ; l > r . Fellowes , £ 2 ; Or . Bowring , M . P ., £ 1 ; Braoey Clark , Esq ., 5 s ., with a promise of five pounds worth of books , as soon as a library is formed . Several other gentiemenhad likewise promised to assist the committee

      as soon as Parliament met . T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., had also promised to give the committee £ 25 to assist them in ao laudable an undertaking . Votes of thanks were passed to tbe above gentlemen for their kindness . Mr . Cleave also made the committee a present of 500 Chartist Circulars , to be sold for the benefit of the balL The committee meet every Sunday morning , at ten , and every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to dispose of shares and receive monies due for the same , at their temporary Hall , S 5 , Old Bailey . Much praise is due to the committee lor their peraeverence in waiting upon parties day and night , to endeavour to collect funds to open the Hall , which when done , will form a very commodious and handsome place of meeting , much to tbe credit of the working men of London , who it is hoped will back tbe committee in opening the above place , by taking out shares .

      At a meeting of the United Chartist shoemakers , held at the Star Coffee-house , Golden-lane , Mr . Baxter was called to the chair ; upon the motion of Mr . Kearaea , it was unanimously agreed that we adopt the plan of Organization as laid down by Mr . Cooper , bnt that one penny pei fortnight be the contribution of each member ; one penny per month to go to the general fund , and one penny per month to defray the expences of the locality .

Bowman opened the discussion by taking a review of the proceedings which toe k place at the various elections , for choosing members to the Conference , and regretted that a spirit of intolerance had been exhibited , not at all compatible with public liberty . This spirit he was sorry to say had been carried into the Conference , and had been the cause of the division which had taken place . He condemned the Sturae party for retiring on being left in a minority on Mr . Lovett ' s amendment ; and concluded a long address , by calling on the people to think and act

      for themselves . Mr . GUbertson followed . He took a retrospective view of the conduct of the middle classes during the passing of the Reform Bill , and showed how they had deceived the people on all occasions , when they bad an opportunity of doing so ; indeed be had no confidence in them whatever , and would advise the people not to trust them again . He tue , n dwelt on the proceedings at the Conference-, and strongly condemned the conduct of the Sturge party in wishing for priority , and refusing Mr . Lovett ' s offer to withdraw his amendment , if they would allow the Charter to be laid on the table and discussed in conjunction with tbe Bill as drawn up by the Sturge party . He read several quotations from the Northern Star , in illustration of his views . Messrs . Hutchinson , Armstrong , and Hanson , severally addressed the meeting , after which Mr . Buwman replied and tfie discussion closed .

      ARBBOATB . —Mr . Abram Duncan delivered a a very instructive and energetic lecture in the Chartist Hall , Burnside , on Saturday , Jan . 21 , on the taxation of the conntry ; Mr . Robert Stevenson in the chair . Mr . D . said the time has not yet arrived when every British subject has got sufficient food and clothing , for we find tbat tenfold misery has increased of late years by miBgoverniuent , and the people will continue to sink in the scale of moral degradation and wretchedness until equal justice is done to them . Taxes are increased , and the Bocial system is diminishing , and unless the people are enfranchised they will never be free and elevated as rational beings . We toil , aud our labour is taxed , and all the articles necessary for existence are taxed . The light of heaven is taxed , and we can only enjoy it in our homes by paying to the

      Government a tax ; if we live , we are taxed ; if we die , we are taxed . Ages yet unborn are taxed previous to their coming into existence . There is but one remedy for slavery ,-and that is unien . Liberty is not to be bought with gold : its price is too high ; its value too great . The enslaved must themselves unite to break their fetters ; must get political power in their own hands ; must exercise that power honestly and with discretion ; and freedom in this world will speedily be established . Let us swear by all that is sacred and dear to us to make every effort human capability affords us peacefully , though resolutely and determinately , to set up the banner of liberty on the high hills of our native land , that it may be viewed by the world , and tbat our brethren in all parts of the globe may emulate out patriotic and virtuous example ..

      Mary-hill . —A pnblic meeting was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , on Wednesday evening week , to hear a report of two of the delegates from Glasgow to the Conference , at Birmingham . Mr . James Adams gave a very minute detail of the proceedings of the Conference , which met with general approbation ; and Mr . John Colquhoun also addressed the meeting at considerable length . It was moved by Mr . Lennie and seconded by Mr . Nicol , " That the thanks of tbe Chartista of Maryhill be respectfully tendered to each of the delegates who voted for the People ' s Charter at the Conference at Birmingham , " which was carried without a dissentient . A vote of thanks was than carried to the delegates from Glasgow with acclamation , when the meeting quietly dispersed .

      NEWCASTLE . —The Suffragists of this locality had the walls placarded , announcing a public meeting of members to hear the report of their delegates to the Conference . Messrs . Kidd and Sinclair ( believing tbe ; were acting perfectly right ) attended in tbe capacity of reporters to take a report of the proceedings for the Star , ita . ; but Sinclair bad scarcely entered the room , when tbe " Sucking Pig" General , Wilkie , calculating upon the assistance of the mt of the humbugB , opened a regular tirade of abuse against Sinclair in particular and the Chartists in general ; and concluded by stating that they could not ¦ proceed with business , if their proceedings were to be reported to the world , and requested the whole of the Chartists to withdraw , whose presence had been attracted by a report that the humbugs

      intended to use Kidd and Sinclair badly . Kldd said that he attended as a reporter to one of the most popular jouraalB of the day ; and tbat if they requested it , be would instantly retire , and leave them alone in their glory ; but before he did so , he would beg to inform Mr . W . that he was ashamed of the conduct of the Sturgites at the Conference . He was prepared to prove their conduct on that occasion to be anti-democratic ; and , moreover , he would prove to those present , or to any man at any time or place , that the Sturgemen were either dishonest , or else impolitic , and checked Mr . Wilkie in some insinuations which he had thrown out against Mr . O'Connor in a private company in Birmingham . Mr . W . attempted to deny , but finding tbat

      Mr . K . was not to be trifled with , he had to confess , but would not undertake to prove his assertions to be true—the Chsrtista afterwards extracting a pledge from the " Sucking Pigs , " that they would not pass resolutions , and stamp them as the resolutions of a pnblic meeting , then retired . Tbe League having no faith in the honesty of the cause they advocate , found it inexpedient to hold pnblic meetings in Newcastle and SunderJand , as at first intended , but collected their whole forces from Sunderland , South Shields , North Shields , Durham , Stockton , Hescham , Morpeth , Alnwick , Gateshead , Blyth , and Newcastle , to attend a public meeting in Newcastle , on Friday evening last , as they considered it dangerous to meet the Chartists of Newcastle with a less number at their baoks than the

      humbugs of all the aforesaid towns and districts . After ail they were afraid to try tbe experiment , without surrounding their chairman , the spitai knight , with a shilling hedge , for none ; were admitted to the body of the hall without paying one shilling , and sixpence to the gallery . The Chartists knew better than to enrich their enemies by any such way , and wrote a challenge to the League , appointing Messrs . Frankland and Sinclair as a deputation to present it to them at the public meeting . When they arrived at the door they explained their mission , bnt would not be admitted without paying one penny each . Sinclair undertook the business by himself , and walking up to the platform presented the following note to the chairman , requesting him to read it aloud , which he did , viz . " TheChartists of Newcastle and Gateshead , are prepared to prove that a repeal of the Corn Laws , without accompanying measures , cannot benefit the working classes of this oountry , and do hereby challenge Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , CoL P .

      Thompson , or any other gentleman to prove the contrary , at a pnblic meeting upon equal terms . By order of the Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead , James Sinclair , Secretary . "—No sooner was the note read than the humbugs were filled with consternation . They declared they would kick Sinclair off the platform for hrvving the impudence-to come and challenge them , thinking that as fie iwas ; the only ChartiBt there , he would take the bint and run away ; but they soon found that they had got the wrong sow by the ear—he wall not of the run-away sort , but offered to exchange kicks with any of them that should make any such attempt . After the meeting , Messrs . Kidd , Con Murray , and Sinclair , bunted all tbe hotels in town for Mr . Cobden , to demand an explanation from him respecting the ; insinuations thrown ) out against the Chartists by him ; but it was no go . It would appear that he avoided coming in contact with them , knowing tbat they were too heavy metal for him .

      £ 2 5 0 MANCHESTER . —A public meeting was held in the , Chartist Room , Brown-street , on . Thursday evening last , to hear a lecture delivered upon the principles of tbe People ' s Charter by Mr , Brown , from London . The room was crowded . Mr . Wm . Dixon was called to the chair . Mr . Brown , upon coming forward , was greeted by loud applause . ' He commenced by stating that nothing could more effectually prove the rapid progress of the principles of democracy than the fact that the working classes had found , that in order to be in possession of their just rights ,, it waa neeeseary that they themselves should do the work . Some few years

      ago , it was the general opinion of the working pppo > lation , that In order to a political agitation it was neces sary that they ahouM be in possession of a liberal education . But since the commencement © f the present agitation for the Charter , the working men had found out that they could advocate the principles contained that document , because those principles were founded upon truth , and therefore needed no sophistry to recommend them to the people . They had found also that by coming in contact with their opponents in the arena . of public discussion , that notwithstanding they were clad in fustian with their faces unwashed and their chins unshorn , that they were more than a match for those who dared to meet them , although they were

      dteaaed in the finest of coats , with sleek faces , and the advantages of education on their bide ; and if any thing was wanting to prove this , he need net go out of Manchester to substantiate the fact . Had they not known Jack , Sam , and Bill- to leave the factory and the loom after a bud day ' s woik and goto meet the tools of the League , and by their plain unvarnished tales of truth to make the Corn Law gents , wince beneath the castigationa that they bad repeatedly given them ? ( loud cheers . ) | Mr . Brown then gave a favourable account of the progress of Chartism in the metropolis , and urged the audience to inculcate and encourage the growth of the principles of temperance and virtue , and in a powerful ; manner depicted the evils of intemperance , nationally , morally , and politically . Mr . Brown sat down amid the most rapturous applause . Some interesting amusements then followed , and the meeting broke up . i

      The South Lancashire Delegate Meeting was hb'd in the Caaitist Room , Brown-street ,. Manchester , on Sunday last The attendance of delegates was larger than has been the case lately . Mr . Haslem was called to the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting , which were confirmed . Mr . Nattall then rose to bring forward the motion of which he gave notice at the last meeting . As Chartists they were bound to carry out the principles which they advocated as far as possible in their own concerns . He was sorry to say this had not been attended to as much as it ought to have been . One of the points of the Chatter was equal representation ; and , therefore , the object of the present motion was to amend the constitution of the county council , so as to procure tbe benefit ef equal

      representation to the Chartists ^ of this division of Lancashire . The principles of the resolution were just , and therefore needed net a long speech upon it . He would , therefore , content himself by reading tbe resolution : — 'JThat in the opinion of this meeting , in order to providejfor the just representation of the Chartists in the county council , that each locality be allowed one delegate for each fifty members ; and in order that all may be I represented , those that have not the number of members shall have one delegate to the said council . ' Mr . Dixon seconded the motion . Mr . Iaherwood moved an amendment , and in doing so be wiBtaed to be distinctly understood . Ho agreed with the spirit Of the resolution moved by his friend Mr . NuttaU , but it was his opinion that if tbe resolution was passed , it would

      destroy the very thing it was intended to Becute—equal representation ; forinefcnee , Warrington , supposing it to have 150 , members , it would cost them thirty shillings for delegate expenses , whilst Manchester could send the aame number of delegates without any expense whatever , and tbe same might be said of all the other '; localities ; therefore if the motion waa adopted , whilst it made the representation equal , it also made the delegate expenses very unequal . It was with those ; views tbat he brought forward hia amendment— "That it is the opinion 6 f this meeting , that each j locality have two votes for every hundred members , and an additional vote for every fifty members above tbat number , providing they have a delegate present ; and all localities noc having fifty members shall be allowed one delegate . * ' i Mr . Railton seconded the amendment

      After a little discussion Mr . Nattall withdrew his motion in favour of the amendment . — Mr . Millar then moved the original motion as an amendment to Mr . jlsherwood ' s motion , which was seconded by Mr . Cameron . An animated but friendly debate took place upon the relative merits of the two resolutions ; and , i upon being put to the vote , Mr . Isherwood ' a motion was carried . Mr- NuttaU moved , and Mr . Railton seconded , "That we engage a lecturer for this district . " —Carried unanimously . Mr . Cameron moved , and Mr . Isherwood seconded , " That the salary of the lecturer be 30 s . per week . "—Carried . On the motion oi Mr . Railton , Mr . G- Doyle was engaged for a fortnight , to commence upon next Monday but one , Moved by jMr . Isherwood , and seconded by Mr . Hibbert— " That Messrs . Railton , Miller ? , Nuttall , and Dixon be elected as a committee to make out a route

      for Mr . Doyle , and to bring out the new plan . "Agreed to . Tbe case of Mr . Thomas Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packet , was brought before the delegates by Mr . NuttaU , and enpported 6 y Wm . Dixon ; and ; after a calm and impartial investigation of all the circumstances of that gentleman ' s case , the delegates passed '{ the following resolutions unanimously : — " That we , the delegates ot South Lancashire , in delegate meeting assembled , after examining the charges brought agaiii 8 t Mr . Thos . Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packer , declare , that unless other

      evidence can be produced than that brought before us , we exonerate him from all blame , and request that he will continue in the agitation as a general lecturer . " Mr . Isherwood moved , and Mr . Hibbert seconded , — " That we , { the delegates of South Lancashire , do not interfere with the plan proposed by , Mr . Cooper at the preseDt . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Isberwood moved the adjournment of the meeting until that day three weeks . Agreed to . Tbe Chartist painters of Manchester paid in ninepence to tbe Irish lecturer ' s fund . The thanks of the delegates were then given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      A general MEETING of the Chartists of Manchester was held ] in the Carpenters' Hall , on Sunday morning last , | Mr . John Murray in tbe chair . The following resolutions were passed : — " Tbat this meeting , after duly considering the Plan of Organizatien , proposed by Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , are of opinion that it would j be found wholly impracticable , besides exposing many of our best friend * to the meshes of tbe law , and therefore they deem it prudent to reject it altogether . " '' Tbat this meeting believing tbat tbe old Plan of Organization might be rendered perfectly efficient for all , tb % , purpo 8 es required , are therefore of at be

      opinion tbat ^ lHj * g « meeting Bhould called to consider its daaR ^ nnd to make such additions and emendations as the delegates instructed by their various constituencies might think neeessary . " " That this meeting recommend to the country the following five peraens , via . Rlessre . Dion , Maynatd , Luc&b , Wheeler , and Ridley , as a committee to audit the books of tb 6 Executive Committee . " After some conversation upon a variety of local business the meeting was adjourned until the first Sunday in February . All communications for the Chartists meeting iu Catpeuters' Hall must be addressed to Maurice Donovan , 15 , Gardenstreet , Holme , Manchester .

      KETTBRINGf . —On Wednesday and Thursday last , two lectures were delivered in this place by Mr . Gamm&ge , of Wolverhampton , to numerous and attentive audiences , j WHIliTON j ( Northamptonshire . )—Mr . R . . G Gammage lectured here , on the r ight of the people to the occupation of the land . He handled hia subject in a most argumentative manner , and supported bis position as well from scripture as from reason . KIDDBRWEXMSTER . —Mr . Crouch lectured here on Monday last ; at tbe White Horse Inn , and gave general satisfaction . At the close three shillings was collected for the Victim Fund , and five new members were enrolled . '
