Just mark

      low the leading organ of the middle classes can treat of the violence of thai order , when levelled against any abuse that affects their own interest ; while the same organ wonld deny to the worMnj classes eren the Tight of complaint . The Times Dtrwqjaper aB hut encourages the middle classes in "Wales engaged in scenes of midnight Tiolence ; aud heFpeaks of the conduct of the Bebeccaites with arms in their hands , threatening the destruction of ^ poor-houses , sad resolvinx upon the redress of their « jrh grievances ,: as the proper means of going to "workto make ** dsafa 3 ithoriqr ^«« rJr ' aadcompare ? ihezn loihe ^ phjacal-foree Charfete , " whose infiamisatory harangues upon the Euhject of much greater gnerances was too strong a dose for the sensitive stomach of the 7 wa « . Now learn a lesson

      of wisdom from this . The Chartists marched into 2 fewportin ISS , with a few old pikes and with sx cad gnn 3 tiw would sot go ofL The Times sent a reporter down to the district , whose instructions were to create a . deadly hostility against the Cbarfets in general , and against Pkosr in particular . TKw reporter wormed himself into the intimacy of some of the "Welch gentry , and succeeded through the Tones , in creating an unconquerable prejudice sgaisst Prostjsnd ihe Chartists , In the minds of ihe jury class . TEhs same jury class hare now discoTered grievances ofiheirowxt , and hsve taken much more violent steps for redressing them 5 and the Times in almost plsia-words tells them to stick to it , for that they hare now taken the vroper

      course-It will be borne tu mind that I cautioned the working clases . of Wales against taking any part whatever in the " B Bebeeea riDlB ; aad if no other justification could he offered for such counsel , 1 think it will be found in the praise lavished by the Times upon the " Bebeccaites . " I had two letters last week from Merthyr -Tydyil , written by order of the Qmrfete ; and from Tjoth 1 learn , that the Chartists Xtf that distriot hare unanimonsiy resolyed sot to laye any thing to -do with "Bebeeeai" secret assofaations , -or tniiJTnjjjVit meetings ; -svh 2 e a deputation that waited upon me at Bath , from the very scene of "Bebeceaism / ' -assured me that the Chartists ¦ would take co part whateTer in the toll and Tent straggle ; as iber had no latrrses to &ri ~ Fe or land to

      pay rent for , And jet , although the Editor © r the Timeskoew that ! had counselled the Chartists against taking any part in the " Bebeecaite " proceedings ; and although he knew that I was at the Tower BamletSj speaking , on Toesday niuht , and at the BotoDdSjOD Wednesday night ; jet the beastly ilaiiderer Essnred his readers on Priday that 2 -was LoTering about Wales , 'watching the result of the present struggle in -the lope-of pushing my reToln-4 aoaary principles 2 2 2 So much for Wales and " ^ ebecea ; " IJow for Ireland and O'ConndL 2 f ever was there more magnanimous conduct than that displayed by the English Chartists towards the lTn * n Bepealexs ; while for jnjself indrridnaliy , I irnnk h will be admuted , that as far as individual exertion acdthetleTO » ion of the Northern Star io the .

      cause of Bepeai could go , the Bepealers have had so reason to complain , if in the outset Repeal wasiohaTe been made instrumental to the redress ¦ ofpopular grTeTaaces , the Chartist body can in notnse be cbaiged TTitb tbeeriice of obstruction ; and it is because I see Tisible sgns of a -desire toTely Bpon other than -domesQC Enpport for the accomplishment of Bepeai that I feel myself called upon to tender & word of ad-nee upon the subjeet at this stage of agitation . I do cot beliere that Mr . O'Connell anticipated haying the support , oreTen ihe countenance , of the Chartist body in the Bepeai agitation ; on the comrary , he had . manifested an in-< e ? Fant deare . firstly to represent the Chartists as a weak , TTnngTiTfii » . imt : at > fl unprincipled body , whose co-opera » on wcnld he valueless : and , secondly toingare ± behef that theie ** piiTScal force" dootrines would make their alliance dangerous .

      I can make Tery great allowances for sudden changes in the tactics and the maccsarrings of a political leader , whose actions must in many cases be governed by the movement of others ; bnt while lam ready to constrne tiis xale faronrsbiy to 2 dx .

But when I SiiQ foeh an alliance sot only rejected , but ihe alliajjee of a far less powerful hody conned to effect the same purpose , thes do I begin to feel some apptehecsron as to the ulterior flf-Hjtn . When Irisiaea who Jrave b&m acenstomed to groan at the very ineniien of Chartism are now invited to cheer for Jrturii co-opfcrauoi ) , I ask myself whether a French advcfiiur ^ or an English workingman can feel the strongest interest in the question of Irish Justice .

      month the functions of the British Parliament will liare ceased , and the rampant authority of the domestic faction will have been established . The Arms ' Bill win constitute the right of search , the tiflVto insult , and the power to annihilate ; while it must oe observable that the Orange faction have already officially communicated with the Kin ^ of Hanoter , and with the Government , against the religious tenets of Me Queen I And of such importance did the Government itself consder this charge of Puseyian against the monarch of unalloyed Protestantism ! to hej , that the charge of the Boyal , Loyal , Protestant Operative Association vras thought of aofficicnt importanM to be submitted lo the law officers of the Crown ! ;

      Those who know anything of Irish history must ha v e seen , in the past , something whereby a guess may he made of the future ; while those who hare read the resolutions of xhe Saxon Irish Lords , and of the Saxon Irish Grand Jurors , must have come to the conoluBion that they but await their Arms' Bill to abandon-their present defensive position , and to take their stand upon the offensive- It will be done , bnt nobody will doit . And when it is done , the Minister will defend its necessity ; and in applying to fee HouBe of Commons for Ministerial indemnity ,

      will remind the House that it was pledged to support *• strong measures of coercion , if needed" ; and the House not being assembled when circumstances required * strong measures , " the Executive looked upon the pledge as tantamount io vesting all power 222 ibe discretion of the Lord Lieutenant , who , from bis presence , was most capable of applying the necessary means for the suppression of disaffection . Upon whose exertions and upon whose sympathies can Mr . O'Connell , then , rely with the greatest certainly 1 whether upon those of honest English workingmen , « rof Irench adventurers I f

      I would warn him against drawing ioo flattering a conclusion from his hitherto unopposed progress ; and to rely upon it , that the finger of the law is stiff , sad pointed against Mm ; and that however he may seek to separate himself from the acts of others moving in the same course ; and however he may still persevere in denouncing " physical force , " jet is his every word written down in the black book of class-legislation ; and that same law which led the Queen ' s Justices of England and the Eoglish Attorney and Solicitor General , io the conclusion that every overt-act done in furtherance of a conspiracy was chargeable upon every conspirator ; and that

      a conspiracy may exist amosgst thousands and tens of thousands who never met or meet and who are unknown to each other j and that conspiracy implies not secrecy but common design , will no donbt be strained against him . Should Mr . O'Connell be -caaghtin the wide spread nes of "conspiracy "' by the indiscretion of others , to whom , 1 would ask , when Parliament is not sitting , when Irish Orange sway is in the ascendant , and when it is in the power of the Crown to command a Jury of the Orange faction , to whom would he then look for sympathy Whether to the sound public opinion of English workinginen , or to the frothy sensibility of French adventurers 1

      It is a pitiful position for a public man to allow his judgment to be warped by personal dislike ! and should the cause of Bepeai be injured Lby Mr . O'Connell ' s refusal of that strength which can alone insure it—the Chartists of England will have the consolation of standing guiltless Of the failure ; wh 3 e , the sound sense of ihe Irish Bepealers will settteminquwiag , as to the motives that could have dictated the policy . . In the midst of all ihe confusion to which I have referred , I am consoled by the proud position occupied by the working classes even under the present defective system of Organization : and to a

      contituancera that noble course I look ior more than payment for my long services . As I predicted , the League has died a natural death . " Bebeccaism " will follow , while Chartian will live to lourish in spite of its deadliest enemies . Had any damage occurred to the Bepeai agitation , through Chartist indifference or opposition ) Mr . O'Connell would hare fouad himself justified in joining with any political party for the suppression of Chartism . Toonr prudence , therefore , we owe our superiority overall other political parties ; and 1 trust that ere long , that prudence will be rewarded with the full frnii of freedom , of liberty , and of jnstioo to alL Your faithful friend , Fbibgus Q'CoittfOB .

      BIRMINGHAM .. —GREAT PUBUC MeETIN * . — On Tuesday eveaing , August 8 th , one of the most splendid meetings which had been held for a long period in this town took ; place in the Hall of Science ; the following placard ihaving been extensively circulated on the morning of Tuesday : — U Arrwdor / s Recukk to Fobuc Life IMen of Birmingham , rally to tbe great public meet ' in & to be held this evening , in the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , for trie adoption of an address to recall the above gentleman to the cause of the people j and for tbe appointment of a deputation , to wait upon him with the ; Address . "Intelligent , virtuous , oppressed working men , attend , and let those who would serve your cause know the feelings of your hearts , and the eentimonts of your minds . ' u By order of the Geuncil of the Birmingham Charter Association , ¦ '

      * ' David : Focts , Sec . "Johh Hewbouse , Assistant See . " Chair to bo taken at eight o ' clock . " At the hour of meeting , the place was crowded to great excess , while vast numbers were compelled to go away , being unable to obtain admission . Nothicg could Burpass the good feeling and enthusiasm which pervaded the vast assembly when the Council entered the Orchestra . Mr . Welsford stood forward , after the cheering had subsided , and moved that Mr . FoUowspreside on theocoasion . Mr . Fussell seconded the proposal , ' andit was unanimouBly carried . TheChairmanrose and said , Ladies and Gentlemen , as you have done me the honour of electing me to fill the chair , I hope everyj one present will feel it their

      duty to preserve proper : order while the bnsinessof the meeting is being [ hud before you . And let every one who may address you have a fair and patient hearing , no matter what may be his opinions —( hear , hear ) . Thetiine has now arrived when our conduct , whatever it shall be , will either retard or advance the great ca ^ se of national liberty . Every thing depends on out ; resolution and propriety—( cheers ) . I will now read the bill calling the meeting , and then state the circumstances which have induced the Council to take this most important step ( The Chairman having read the bill proceeded ) . It may not , perhaps ' , be so generally known as it ought , that some short time ago the Journal announced that Mr . Att wood was about to

      commence a public agitation ; whereupon a few individuals paid , no doubt , for their services , had commenced a series of . Ward meetings , where the public were excluded from expressing their opinions —St . George ' s WaTd taking the lead . And such had been the disgraceful conduct of these parties , that ibe council deemed it their duty to come Out boldly ; and if Mr . Attwood had even a vestige of integrity , to afford him a free and ; honourable course to return to the advocacy of the principles , he embraced in 1838—{ cheers ) . That the meeting might properly judge of the means these Ward agitators were adopting io extend an under-current influence ; that they might the more effectually make a successful public demonstration in favour of Mr . Attwood

      and his plans . He would relate 'a circumstance which occurred at their last week ' s meeting . One of Mr . iAttwood ' s friends proposed that a requisition should be adopted by the meeting there assembled ; and that means should be taken to obtain some 20 , 000 signatures ; and this was to be donn before ' even Mr . Attwood ' s plans had been known to the public . An amendment was proposed that no requisition be adopted . After much altercation , both propositions were withdrawn . To the surprise of the Chartist Council , the Journal of Saturday last actually reported that the requisition had been agreed to 5 and of course they were now proceeding with it . The Council was deiermined that bo man should be deluded into suoh a

      movement . An address had therefore been prepared , which , while it would defeat the plottings of wards , would , if f * lr . Attwood was honest , give him a fair and honourable means of returning to the active advocacy of bis avowed principles . ( Cheers . ) No secret work I but let what is to be done , be done publicly . ( Loud cheers , ) Having thus explained , he would call upon Mr . Mason . Mr . Mason rose and said—Mr . Chairman , ladies , and working mea , you have assembled on this occasion for an object the most important aud saored in its nature—namely , to re-declare your devotion to those principles which can alone render our country happy , virtuous , free , and great . ( Cheers . ) On all occasions when our energies and moral power have been required to

      defeat the many attempts which have been mado to misdirect public opinion , and employ it for meTe class purposes , or designedlyjto supersede our struggle for real and Fubttantial justice , we have been basely misrepresented by the local press , the only medium of public communication in many places ; and by the national press , except eo far as oar Star has been able to counteract . Our principles have been ridiculed , perverted , and libelled ; and our policy at public meetings , however justifiable , has been denounced as factious and tyrannical —( hear , hear , hear ) . It is from such causes as these that we have more to fear than even the persecution of the Government . From the Governmsnt we can expect no more mercy than our own prudence can secure ;

      but neither reason , truth , nor prudence , can shield U 3 from that monster ] assailant to working class justice—tbe press of the middle and upper classes—( loud cheers ) . There is hut one means left us to disarm its influence over public opinion , and by which we may hope to triumph . Let us use it against them —( cheers ) . We have advanced against such a foe ; lei ns use its power against itself ! aud let the press of the people conquer the press of their oppressors— { cheera ) . Oar great object in calling this meeting was to give public opinion its proper direction ; and place those who would be our friends in their real position . ? Ko sub-moves ' . —( laughter . ) If Mr . Attwood is _ to be invited , let it be done in an open and honourable manner ; butiet that

      gentleman know how and in what manner , we can receive his services . Do not impugn his motives . If he is honest we will prove him . He used to teach the people ; he can't be angry if the people cow teaoh him —( laughter ) . Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Dunoombe have stood by us ia the calm and in the tempest . We honour the just—( cheers ) . But whatever has passed , we shall not object to those who may be desirous to return to onr service , if they will pledge themselves to perform its duties—( loud cheera . ) Here let me ask , will yon give Mr . T . S . Duncombe the honour of a publio entry into Birmingham , when the . ; National Conference of delegates meet in Birmingham to prepare the plan of the Great National Organization —( loud cries of

      ** YeB , yes , yes ") ' How far aTe you disposed to do this unflinching friend of the millions , tbat honour he basso richly earned by his conduct in the House of Commons ; hold up your hands—( every hand in the vast assembly was in an instant uplifted , followed with the most enthusiastic cheering ) . Mr . Mason resumed : That scene waa worthy of the fari&med character « f ihe men aud vromen of Birmingham : The affections of our hearts are the only honours we can bestow ; but . they are pure—they are nnpnrchasable by the gold of tyrants—( loud cheers ) . Mr . M . continued to apeak at great length , and was loudly applauded . He concluded by moving the following addr < ss , and retired amid the applause of the whole meeting : —

      TO T . aiTWOOD , 2 SQ . The Address of ihe People of Birmingham in Publio Meeting assembles . Sib , —Having learnt your intention of again devoting your services to the causa of the people ; and animated with a sincere desire to rescue our country from the impending calamities which now threaten tbe happiness and fortunes « f every class in British Bociety ; we have felt it our duty , honestly and uprightly , to assure yon , that if it is your design again to stand forth as the advocate of those great and inviolable principles of political justice embodied in tbe People ' s Charter , with a clear recognition cf that sacred document as the only basis of a just and legitimate Government , we shall hail your return to public life with enthusiasm and gratification . No ungenerous reflection on the past shall obstruct your Bew exertions , or weaken their influence , provided they are consecrated with the humanity and sincerity of a real patriot .

      Bnt , sir , we will not conceive tbat 70 a , though silent for these several years , ] aud retired from the sacred struggle for national liberty , have been an idle spectator of the progress of events , er the new circumstances which now distinguish the character , desires , and condition of the working class from that of any other period in toe history of our country . It is essential to the qualification of a reformer , that he should be enabled to estimate correctly the disposition of those for -whose welfare and . freedom he is aaxifus to tender his services . And with this view do we now respsctfnllv and honourably state our aestimosts , that you

      may judge how far you ] are prepared to promote the success of that measure of national and individual justice , Tiz . the People ' s Charter—a measure that you have declared would safe tbe country , and which wo cannot contemplate you will evet abandon , or attempt to supersede , by any | other movement—the only measure , indeed , which can avert tbe calamities we are doomed to endure—the enly measure , ve solemnly aBaure you , that can in any form distinguish us from the most abject slaves , or rescue the various industrious classes in society who may yet possess some degree of property from a similar fate .

A people the moat intelligent , ingenuous , land laborious of any nation on eatth , deprived of their most sacred rights—stand naked and defenceless before thek tyrant rulers , demanding

      justice , which they'have resolved to achieve . The middle classes involved in difficulty , and hourly sinking in ruin , declare that a change must be eflFected to save us ; while Ireland , ! although her millions : are less intelligent than the people of England , have erected a moral standard , that the armed legions of British despotism dare not strike .

And that period is ntit distant when events will render the legislative Organisation of our rights as necessary to the safety and happiness of the middle class 'as they are now to us . I ' Mr . Walter Copper having seconded it , observed that he felt great pleasure in [ witnessing so large a meeting , and still more in beholding the manner they had received the clear and able exposition of principles contained in the ; address which had just been read—( hear , hear ) . ! Mr . Attwood

      wonld now understand what the publio of Birmingham meant—( hear , hear ) . If his plans did not come up to great principles it was of no avail his attempting to make ij new move—( loud cheers ) . Mr . & having spoke at jcousiderable length , during which he was much applauded , retired , declaring his determination never to desert the Charter—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Saunders rose in the body of hall , and said that he had been studying all day about this address ; and he could tell the meeting tbat he had never consulted any one , but he had an amendment , which he would propose . It was to the following effect : "That while that meeting was anxious to witness any desire on the part of the middle classes to co-operate with the working

      class to obtain tho Charter ; yet from the base coaductLof many individuals of that olasa , tothe people , they would defer sendin > f any address soliciting Mr . At wood's assistance until they knew what were his plans . " Mr . Richardson seconded it . Mr . Chilton supported it . He repudiated any . attempt to conciliate the middle olass . They would never get their rights from thai class unless they took them . What was Daniel O'Connell's moral force humbug ? Would it ever « et Ireland her rights 1 No . jnor would they ever get their rights in England with moral force alono . The Chairman then put tho amendment , abont twelve hands were held up . He then put the address , which jwas carried amid the greatest applause , every hand in the vast assembly being held

      up with the above exceptions . Mr . Mason , Mr . Follows , Mr . Fuasell , and Mr . Potts were then appointed tbe deputation ; the report to be given in next Tuesday evening , after the lecture . A vote of thanks having been given to the ' Chairman , this great and important meeting dispersed . PUBI . IN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held its weekly meeting as usual on Sunday last , Mr . Woodward in the chair . Various communications were read and several members admitted . Amongst the letters read was one from Mr . Watsons of Water-lane , whioh was highly applauded . The order of the day was then called for Mr . Dyott ' s motion on the jnew vagary of Mri O'Connell regarding the franchise . Mr . Dyott then , in a very

      masterly speeobiBhewed up the zig-zag course pursued by the leader of the Irish people as regarded the franchise , j He said the consideration of Mr . O'Connell ' s devious coarse , obvious inconsistencies , and glaring absurdities , called up a mixed feeling of melancholy and ] mirth . The tnanAooe-suffrage for instance ; and now the tw / e-suffragei were sufficient to provoke the smile of a stoic fitit it was melancholy to think I that any portion of an intelligent nation could be trifled with in such a manner with impunity —( hear ) . It was a remarkable fact , however , to find on referring to the meetings at which the " Liberator" put forth his last foolish proposition , by which a political interdict was laid on all bachelors ( and of course the Catholic clergy { were included ) ,

      that Pat , though he did not dare to contradict , refused to cheer ~( hear ) ;—and he { Mr . D . ) had no doubt the day was fast approaching , when the poor men throughontj Ireland would perceive , as plainly as those in that room whom he was now addressing , that in the franchise being extended to all who wore the form and possessed the reason of man , depended the redemption jof the masses from the cruel and withering cursejof class legislation . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell , at the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill , accused Ministers of meanly legislating against an individual , because they introduced a clause which Bent him to Clare to be re-elected . "Now , he ( Mr . Dyott ) accused Mr . O'Connell of legislating against an individual in It he present instance . / He knew that

      Mr . O'Higgins was unmarried ; he hated Mr . O'Higgins ; and in order to disfranchise his political opponent , he proscribed the whole class—the bachelors , to whioh he belonged . ( Hear , laughter , and cheers . ) This was like the conduct of Herod , who in order to destroy an infant gave orders that every innocent in Judea should be slaughtered . ( . Hear , hear . ) Or it was like the conduct of " the modern Moses , " who , imitating Joshua ' s conduct towards Achan , shut out the entire people of Ahaacragh from the rights of citizenship and the honours of patriotism , because a few of tha more imprudent had erred—no , had not erred—bad only been too zealous in a righteous cause . ( Hear , and cheers . ) It was like the conduct of a great and ] talented leader of a generous aud

      mighty people , who , notwithstanding bis majestic abilities , history would describe as ; being so completely under the mastery of his own baneful passions , that he repudiated the proffered aid of a friendly nation , because that nation had placed confidence in one who had been honest enough to differ from him , and courageous ] enough to tell it . ( Hear . ) Yes ! the reason why the assistance of toe devoted Chartists of i England was With contumely refused , was { because they had glorified the man whom Mr . O'Connell would have abased OB account Of bis dangerous abilities , and still more cange ' rous integrity ! He would tell them he meant the indomitable and as yetunimpeachable Fbabous OCowwob—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Dyott concluded by submitting , the following resolution : —Resolved , — "That jthe Irish Univertal Suffrage Association has seen with surprise and regret various tests the

      proposed for the , electoral franchise ^ y influential individual who has obtained the high-sounding title of *¦ Ireland ' s Liberator . ' That amoflgst those may be enumerated } the suffrage from manhood l the suffrage fwm being possesBed of a house ; the suffrage from being posseBsed Of a wife ! j That the firstnamed , njanhopd euffirage , ' fairly and literally con * strued , wtuld make the invariable jand not-easily ascertained attainment of virility , the period of eafranchisenent ; and as that always takes place long before th » age ) of twenty , ifc would entirely go beyond tie views of this Association , ; who think tbe maturitys ^ ttled by law for the managing a man ' s private a 5 airs , the most rational period for entering on the iuties of citizenship . That if the phrase ' manhooi Buffrago * be only a substitute for Universal Suffrage , this Association regrets that Mr . O'Conneli should have adopted a term so equivocal , an idea b » fluctuating and undefined . That in the

      Untitled Article

      proposilion for ' Household Suffrage , ' this Association can only recognise an attempt to uphold the odious sordid aristocracy of wBalthyand a desire to perpetuate the olass legislation already denounced on all sides as the bane of these countries . That the more recent , new-fangled , and ludicrous proposition to give the vote only to married men , this Association can only conceive to be a fantastical whim , to see how far the passive acquiescence of the unthinking portion of the Irish nation could be relied on . That this Association , ia contradistinction to the miserable shifts , quibbles , and inconsistencies of those who still cling to partial and wealth-created privilege , assert most emphatically the natural and undeniable right of every man , married oh unmarried , who shall

      have attained the age of twenty-one years , without having committed felonious crime , and who shall be of sane mind and understanding , to a vote in the ohoica of those who are to make the laws under which his shall live , and who are to assess the taxes to which he must contribute ; and that this Association reiterate their determination to stand by their English Chartist brethren till the glorious document entitled the People ' s Charterjshall become the law of the land . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Brierly , and unaaimoaaly passed . Several Hepealers were in the room , who ! seemed unable to offet any plausible opposition , though men of considerable ability * and fervently attached to their party . Mir . O'Higglns delivered an animated address on

      the gallantry and strong j attachment to real liberty evinced by the people of England , who by adopting Chartism ( . ( which included Repeal ) as their political creed , bad rendered it impracticable for the minister to call out tne English militia , whioh bad alone ] saved the Irish nation from coercion . If the Corn Exchange Association , possessed one spark ef generosity of freemen , they would have acknowledged the virtue of those noble Englishmen , and publicly thanked them ; instead of outraging publio patience by attempting to conciliate a handful of hopeless Northern bigots , who had contemptuously rejected their advances , and sent back Mr . Ray ' s drum with stirewd hints that it was a hollow overture to amity—{( laughter and cheers ) . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by announcing that he would , on next Sunday , bring the banking system

      under the observation of the Association , and prove to them that it was a system inimical to toe interests of the working classes , calculated to raise prices and depress wages . After some other remarks from various individuals , the chair was vacated by Mr . Woodward . Mr . Brierly wa " s called thereto , and thanks being returned Mr . Woodward , the assembly broke up . I COVENTRY . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Coventry Chartists in their room , Well-street , ou Monday night , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — " That we highly approve of the National Conference to establish a sound and efficient Organization of thejwhole Chartist body ; that we approve of Birmingham as the most central and best place , aud the 5 th off September most preferable , as there will be more time for each locality to make their arrangements . " !

Mr . Andrew Wardrop , in his wonted sarcastic aud withal able manner , exposed the doings , iff we may be pardoned the bull , of the "do-nothing Parliament . " Mr . W .

After going over and commencing upon almost every topic of interest ia tbe proceedings iu St . Stephen ' s during the present session , he jwound up bis address by pointing to the only and effectual remedy for evils numberless ; and having announced his intention . of bringing forward the question jof Repeal next Monday evening , the meeting separated , but not until three hearty cheers for the dear old Charter bad caused the welkin to ring again .
