      34 t Djbab Feikkib . —I now proceed with mj BarraJive . Desdkb . —On Tnesday Mr . Dnncombe and I armed at Dundee , about four o ' clock . There was a Tery splendid Soiree in the largest chapel that could be procured ; and when Mr . Duneombe made his appesranoe be was loudly andrapcuronsly applauded . Mi . Sidd . the principal bntcher in the town , was in the chair ; and after the Bsnal liberal sentiments bad been proposed , the last of them , " The Northern Star" was spoken to by a working man , ( whose name I forget ) in most eloquent terms . In speaking of the New Plan of Organisation ,, ha said , l ask ; -did any thing more perfect ever come from the pen of man i and is not Mr , Hobson , the present talented editor of the Star , and compiler of that plan , worthy the confidence of the workingelas 3 ea T '—( Cheers . )

      When Mr . Dnncombe made hre appearance , he was loudly cheered 5 and after a Tery long and eloqnent review of his Parliamentary con duel , and as avowal of the principles of Chartism , -name and all , he resumed hiB seat amidst several rounds of applause , and waving of hate . I followed ; and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written by way * f apology for his non-attendance , my text . This pompons fool declined accepting the invitation , because I mas to be there ; but I promise yon that after the licking 3 gave him , he w 21 never write my name again as lone as he lives . We had a vast number © f the middle classes , and many manufacturers present . 1 enroled in all , in Dnndee , 270 members . When we returned to oar hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial Room , where there was a party of seven or eight gentlemen , all of whom had just returned "

      from the meeting . I did accompany him ; and there met several very gentlemanlike intelligent persons , some 1 of them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , who 1 have since learned is the best and kindest master in Dundee . I do not know his name . We discHssed the principles of the Charter and B free trade , " till nearly three o ' clock in the morning ; all the young men standing np for the Charter . The principles are beginning to find way here . We concluded the morning ' s entertainment , by a bet between the German gentleman and myself : he betting that upon & dissolution of Parliament , the Whigs would come into power again : 1 betting that , as Whiffs , they would not . The wager 5 s , a dinner for the party then present . Mr . Kidd , the chairman , gave me £ \ for the Executive , and a gentleman , who would not give his name , gave me 5 s . for the . Executive .

      On Wednesaay morning we proceeded on our way to Aberdeen , Mr . Dnncombe stopping at Stonehaven , fifteen miles from Aberdeen ; wnile I went on . When I arrived at th « coach office there -was a large concourse of persons u > receive me , but no notice of asj meeting for that sight : the council supposing that I shonld be . loo much fatigued . However we put np a bill in Mr . . Ledge ' s window ; and at eight O ' clock we had an excellent meeting in a large ehapeVwhen I spoke at great length and with good effect . 1 enrollec 128 members ? and would have added all to She ranks bad they been apprised of my intention .

      The following day was lo be the all-imporlant one—the day of the Dukccxbe demosstratios : and when I looked out of my window , to my horror I saw that the denies ts were to be against hs . It -was the only wet day they have hi d for aJong time . It raised incessantly ; and great was oar misgiving . At twelve o ' clock I started , in company with the veteran Archy M'Dosald . in a * carri » ge and six , to meet Mr . Dnseome : for whom M'Pherson and another excellent fellow of our booj had gone early to Stonehaven . When Mr . Dnncombe arrived , one would have imagined that the ram , so far from deterring , had invited the Chartists to come oat ; for it was the longest and grandest procession they have erer had . All the trades were in f nil regalia .

      When Mi . Dnneombe met the procession , he would have the caxn&ge opened ; and there he stood like a dripping statue the whole way . He wa 3 highly and justly delighted with hiB reception . It was our intention to have proceeded -to the Links , as usual , but the day was bo wet , we stopped in the Market-place ; "when obt old and Talned . friend , M'Pherson , was called to the chair : and our not less Talued friend , legge , proposed an address , which lie read to Mr . Dnneombe , and to which Mr . Duneombe replied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of his hearers . I was then to speak ; and as all previous speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rejoiced at it , and for this simple reason : had it been fine , the press would have attributed cbeattendance to Eightseeing-curiofiity ; whfcieas as it was wet . none bnt iron Chartists would come ont . Before I communicate themost cheering portion of the intelligence to you , let me tell you that it

      did not rain within seven miles of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I have since learned ; and , it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the three weeks I have been on my rambles , we have only had ihre « wet days : the one that Mr . Dtincombe entered Manchester ; again , when he entered Newcastle ; and on Thursday when he entered Aberdeen . This was doubtless to try the mettle of the Chartists . It -was too wet to enrol members , or I Bhonld have enlisted 3 , 000 at leastj bnt 1 did enrol one that in my humble opinion will give more general satisfaction , than if I had enrolled 10 , 000 others . On our return to the hotel , Mr . Dnncombe said , ** Now I a member of the National Charter Association ! " I replied , " J » o ; if you have not taken ont yonr card . " * Well , " said he , " as I am virtually a member of that body , 1 shonld be so actually ; bo give me my eard , and fiil it up Aberdeen , Oct . 26 th . " I did bo , and he paid me & guinea for it : so

      DUX COMBE , M . P ., IS ALSO » TJHCOMBE , BI . P ., OP THEKATIOKAJL CHAB . TEE . ASSOCIATION j by far the most honourable distinction , in my mind , inlhe evening weh&d agrand Soiree , They could only get a Bail to hold fokbieks huxdbxd persons , ¦ which was ineonvtnienv ' ij crowded . They applied to a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall , capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which they declare ihey could hare filled . But such a sight would hare been too much for such jaundiced tyes ; so they refused us . In Aberdeen , so influential is Chartism , thai M'Pberson beat both parties , by nearly " 100 majority , for the Commissionership of Police ; and he now fflls ihat important effiee . They do their business better than any other people ; and they do It "withont softeBing down the principle to prejudicepoint . They canvas for eTery office under the principles , name , and alL

      I attended at the Soiree an hour before the proper time , and enrolled a number of members 5 but it was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly state the number until j take stock of my wares ; bnt I should say abcxi B 00 , which , added to 1 , 000 cards that have been left at Aberdet n , will make 1 , 458 for ihat town . Mr . Duncombe arrived at eight o ' clock , accompanied by M'Pherson , the chairman , and wasmost rapturously applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had some excellent singing jand opened the business with ** Scots , wha hae , " sung by the whole company . I spoke at great length ; and Lowery spoke . Mr . Duncombe was called npon his legs a second time ,

      to receive an address from the _ female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a splendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with his arms and crest very beantifuHj engraved npon it . The address was emphatically and feelingly read by a very beautiful and interesting young woman ; and , when Mr . Duncombe presented himself in full costume , he was rapturously applauded . He returned thanks in » very excellent and talented speech , shortly after which we retired , accompanied by Mr . Legge , who remained with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told Be that the proceeds ariring out of my visit , two years ago , had kep ; the Association in funds op to the present time .

      On Friday , we were to have had a public meeting lo enrol members ; bnt , owing to a pledge that ! gave to the people of Arbioath , that I would work to repay the monies advanced to send delegates to the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to visit the latter town for that purpose . On Friday rooming , we got up at four o ' clock , Mr . Duncombe to stsn for Glasgow , and I for Montrose , where I had premised to address xhe people at two o ' clock , in the Thistle Hall . We had a most excellent meeting ; and I { an only £ » y that the people of Mpoirose expressed

      themselves more than delighted . They told me that I had made many converts , and dispelled much prejudice . I enrolled seventy-eight members ; and , had it not been Monday , I . would have enrolled two hundred . This town , like many others ; complains sadly of "trafficking pedlars . " They have gone far to ruin them ; and the Association did me the honour to say that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some carious stones at Montrose , aboot money-grubbinq ; enough to sicken the honest lecturers . I must sav . however .

      that they spoke very highly of the Manchester Packer , and Gammage . They say the Packer cares less about the money-than any man they ever heard . These things should be known . As I was to speak at tArbroath at eight o ' clock , I intended proceeding by the Aberdeen mail ; bnt it was fall , and I was obliged to poBt it , and did not arrive till half-past e ^ ht ; Here the Chanists have built a splendid place of their own ; and they filled it . I apoke at great length ; enrolled 200 ; got Home at half-past eleven ; dinedand went to bed .

      , On Saturday morning , I star ted for Dundee . And now for a day ' s work . I addressed the people in their chapel ; but the £ ay being a dreadtul one , blowing and raining , it was not filled . However , I had a capital audience ; spoke about aa hour ; and waB obliged te break off , to start for Leith . I never was out on a worse day . Within 300 yardB pf the Arbroath , station lay the Defiance of London , a wreck with a valuable general cargo ; the ship being ready to be dashed to pieces when , the tide oomes in .

      In crossing-Jrom theiwunty of Fife , to Newhaven , we had to go a considerable distanoe to the steamer , in small boats j and the screams of the women , and the running to the side , when a swell , like a mountain , neared us , threatening , to swallow ns all up , were most terrific . The landing and embarking at this important point is most awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman observed in my hearing , it will remain bo , until a Lord Lieutenant , two or three Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a dozt-n of lawyers are drowned . Then , but not till then , will it be remedied .

      I arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Lelth at seven , when , in consequence of the early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the « reai kketing , as they called it , my audience was not numerous ; but it was good , and very attentive . I spoke for nearly an . hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . I then started for Edinburgh for the meeting in St . Cecilia Hall ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — " Ireland and her wrongs . " Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . I set to it at once ; and I certainly made a smasher . I could scarcely proceed , so numerous

      were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave them two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung through the hall , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter u a necessary ' appendage to Repeal , they bounced up and cheered , asd cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here 600 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . I addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh ; and had a most tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten ' oloek ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of it .

      I must now give you a little of the chit chit here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Duncombe was got np herb by nine ] deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartists , for the especial purpose of offering me an , insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit so hard however , by the failure and expense , about nbe pounds at the wrong side , that thej are now quareliing among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance is worthy ef espeoial notice . The Sturgites , who got up the party , tried to enlist the Irishmen ; and , amengst others , sent six cards to a Mr . Connor , s most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It

      was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instantly enclosed his curie to iho committee ; and the Irishmen who had bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepenee , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . I hav » this fact from Mr . Connor himself . Dnacombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed " Completeism " in Scotland . No man will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of " poor Joseph . " He is now a " shepherd without a lock , " taking his wits to Crawfordsbarn , to have a confab with honest Sharman Crawford , to see h » w they « an make " something out of nothing . " They should remember the old adage : —

      E » nlhil , nihilJU . " H Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect stating one pleasing fact : two hundred honest Chartisif , fifty miles south of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the Duncombe demonstration ; and when they had got within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked the fifty miles . Who now says that chabn&t is dxad in scotlak ^ ? In fact , my friends , most of those who have visited Scotland , have

      estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse from the poor people ; and the Scotch being carefnl of their pence , and fmall blame to them , the •* pedlars" give Chartism a bad name ; bnt I declare that there never was so much Chartism in Scotland ; but it will not pay for puffs . I will give you Mr . Dnncombe's own words about it . " By Jove , if those who sav Chartism is dead would only come to Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What ! are all these Chartists 1 " I tell you , an-1 you will believe me , that Chartism is able to beat all other inns in Scotland .

      As 2 long ago predicted , some of the church-< 3 iartists have tried to strangle the question of oivil rights . Secret letter writing ; undermining ; and applying for the passing of friendly resolutions are practices very much in use latterly . Bnt the Scotch are a very far-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by theii old friendB , till they see reason to change . I have learned many lessons of wisdom since my arrival here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Dnncombe was a member of onr association , I thought the cheering would never stop . Your sincere friend , Fbabbos O'Conkok .

      Glasgow . —P . S —I have only time to say we had a most splendid scene in the City Hall . Moir , Paul , and Adams made most admirable speeches , and Mr . Dancombe ouvdid himself . He gave unbounded satisfaction ; and I never heard any man more enthusiastically applauded . The best thing that I can Bay of myself is , that 1 enrolled

Dexpbibs . —Here we had a great disappointment . The people took the largest church in the town for this meeting , and signed articles with the committee ; but the priest , one of the rampant non-inirnsionists , one M"Keu « ie , took off the key , and went out of town , after all the expenoe was ineurred . At the last moment , when the people were all bnt mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we had an admirable meeting , notwithstanding the Nonintrnsionist Liberal . I enlisted 160 Chartists , and I am now going to a public supper to enlist more . I am really knocked up ; and nothing but Tidd Pratt could induce me to persevere .

      GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT ABERDEEN , IN HONOUR OF "THE PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNCOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From the moment it was frnoiro that Mr . Duncombe was to viait this city , every Chartist set to work in order to sake hla reception in some degree commensurate with the great services he has , in and out of Parliament , rendered to the people . On the evening previoba to the procession Mr . O'Connor arrived with the soath mail ;

      and waB received by a great number of his friends in that manner in which every old and faithful friend will always be received in the Land of Cokes . Though no notice nor any knowledge of Mr . O Connor ' s intention to lecture was known , yet two hours after his arrival he found himself addressing a large audience of the citizens of the north . The meeting wa « enthusiastic and listened with delight upwards of two boars to their faithful champion and attached friend . At the close of the lecture a great number parchased cards , of the National Association .

      THE PROCESSION—GREAT MEETING , &C . At an early hoar on Thursday , the day on which Mr . Dnnoombo was to enter the capital of the uortb ,-extcaorditkftry excitement was observable on all sides . At about twenty minutes past ten , the different trades took up their respective stations , according' to their priority in the incorporation , or the order in -which the ; had ballotted to walk . At eleven precisely , the procession , ou the agreed-npon sound of the bugle , started ; and notwithstanding about this time the morning , theugh previously fair , suddenly changed to a severe rain , which continued with unabated violence for three hours , yet , glorious to say , not one Itft the procession until they had fairly accomplished their duty , by conveying Mr . Dunoombe after the meeting , to his hotel .

      Mr . Duncombe arrived at Stonehaven on Wednesday , the 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles sooth of Aberdeen , at which place a deputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday morning . Accordingly , Mr . James M'Pherson and Mr . Robert Macintosh , the Chairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for that purpose , and arrived at the Bridge of Bee , two miles from town , abont one o'clock , v . ii ., as was appointed . Agreeable , 'to previoa * arrasgenient , the procession was to meet Mr . Duncombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , ¦ within a mile and a half ot town , where , on his arrival .

      he asd hu friends were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by six bay horses , with postillions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing bunting caps , with gold tassels . When the parties net , Mr . Duncombe stept into the carriage , accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Pherson and Macintosh . On the first appearance © f Mr . Duncombe in the carriage , a loud and pealing thunder of cheers ran along the dense procession of congregated thousands vibrating and thrilling npon the ear in awful grandeur , while the eye feasted upon one of the most imposing spectacle * ever presented in our city .

      As soon as the Marshals had completed their preliminary arrangements , under the superintendence of Mr . James Thomson , the dense mass fell into line on each side , leaving an open space in the oentre for Mr . DuDcombe ' s carriage to pats , and in which he stood on tho seat , zeeeiving the warm congratulations of a warmhearted people . As he reached the top of the procession , the bogles sounded a halt , and the Beveral trades , according to arrangement , marched past the carriage , and proceeded in the following order : —

      Thus ended one of those meetings go much calculated to leave aa Impression on the enemies of freedom that something is wrong ; for the working classes would not stand b « low the drizzling rain for four hours bad they not a caiuse ; and it also shews that the psople are net indifferent to those who stand forward to defend the principles and sustain the rights of the working classes .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly meeting oa Sunday last , at their Room ^ No . 14 , North Anne-street ; Mr . Patriok Rafter , ! in the chair ; Mr . H . Dyott , Seoretary . Mr . Dyott having read the minutes of the last meeting , and the rales and objects of the Sooisty , and also a tetter from Mr . John Lowery , of Enett , county of Mayo . Mr . O'Higgins rose , and said , he wished to postpone the motion of which be had given notice on , the previous Sunday ; and in its stead give notice of a motion of more immediate and pressing importance . The motion which he should submit to the consideration of the Society was one of a very ) conciliatory nature —( cheers ) . Most of his fellow-citizens were acquainted with the

      fact , that he , ( Mr . fO'Higgins ) had from his first step in politics to the present hour laboured to effect a good understanding between the < reat bulk of the English people and the Irish . Pitt and Castlere&gh succeeded in effjotiag aa Oligarchical Union between the English and Itjshropi >« a' ) OrB of the people ; andh » wa& 6 or 7 ytore p ^*^ before , that some great leaders of the Irish people , whom' he should not now name , followed in the wake of Pict and Gastlereagh , by using all their powerful eloquence and great influence to make the people of Ireland believe that the English people were the enemies of the Irish and their religion . This was just what Pitt sod Castlere&gh sought to effect ; they sueceeded in forming a cordial union of

      English and Irish tyrants , but they failed to establish religious and Rational hatred between the oppressed people of both countries . This was reserved for other parties . He regretted to s » y that the labours of a certain individual had been successful ; to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in fact , the great bulk of whom , now believe that the ] English working people hate them and their religion to such a degree that they would willtagly come over here at the bidding of any Minister , Whig or Tory , and help him to cut the throats of the Irish } Catholic priests . Thus that feeling of hatred and animosity which Pitt and Castlereagh failed to bring about , has been effected by the great advocate pf civil and religious

      liberty—( hear , hear ) . The . notice which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in short a cordial union , between the English and the Irish people . The motion ) he now gave notice of was to the following effect : — " Conciliation : between Daniel O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor , in a proposed amicable discussion in the Conciliation Hall : —That in ordfer to make the Conciliation Hall be in reality that which it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called npon no longer to retard the progress of the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier ] between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 , 500 , 000 inhabitants of Great Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Union , by reason of some private pique or personal quarrel ,

      between himself aud Mr . Feargus O'Connor , That in order to overthrow ! tyranny in England and Ireland , a cordial union ' should be effected between the working classes of both countries ; and in order to effect this most desirable object it is Mr . O'Connell ' s boanden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly and amicable discussion of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their disputes and differences on the altar of their common country . " Ui ( Mr . O'H . ) didf not know Mr . O'Connor pq well or so long as he knew Mr . O'Conaell ; yet he would stake his life upon it , that in order to effect so glorious an object as that contemplated in

      the motion of which he had given notice , Mr , OConnor would cheerfully ] forgive all injuries which he has suffered at the hands of Mr . O'Connell —( cheers ) , Mr . Thomas Ford said , as a Meathman , it would do his heart good to see these two great men makeup their quarrel for the Bake of the country . Mr . John Lynham said that he also was a Meathman , a iabourcjti and „ thouxh he had ! but iittla to spare , h « wouldTgive a months' wage 3 , if he were to live on one meal a day to see ihe unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'ConneU made up . Mr . Berlin did not know what was meant by Conciliation unless it was to join cordially for the interests of our country . Why does Mr . O'Connell call upon others to bury in . oblivion all old disputes , while he himself never sets us the example !—^ hear ) Mr . William Woodward said that he had for some

      time past contemplated a motion something like that whioh was read by Mr . O'Higgius . Conciliation Hall , was the proper place to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of any injury or injustice doae by Mr , O Connor to Mr . O'Connell ; and even if he had injured him surely Mr . O'Connell , reads the Lord ' s prayer !—( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Dyott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion ; but he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . Mr . Henry Clark said that he highly approved of the motion . It was well-timed , and if carried into { operation would produce an effect even on present affairs in whioh Mr . O'Connell was interested —( hear , hear ) . He concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in the Daily and Weekly Freeman ' s Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr . Bergin was called to the chair , aud the thanks of the meeting having been given to Mr . Rafter , they adjourned till next Sunday at one o ' clock .

      though there could be no less than seven hundred persons present . After the memorial was carried , Mr . Wm . Cunningham rose to move the reeelutiop , which was adopted at Huddersfiold , in support of whioh he showed that the working classes had ever struggled for the protection of labour . Mr .

      put together . The very violent means resorted to by both sections of sham Reformers , the Whigs and Goosey ' s tribe , had directed all attention to the contest . Mr . Hobsonwaa the Chartist candidate , hating been nominated by an " overwhelming majority ** of a large public meeting of the burgesBes and inhabitants . Mr . Ingham was the other candidate nominated with him . The Whigs brought ont a Mr . Pape to oppose Mr . Hobson . From the first , Mr .

      The defeat of tbe Whigs and shams was " com * p \ ete"l A regular flooring 1 Ifc-wiU be Been by an examination of the above accounts , that Mr . Hobson was not only far away at the head of the Poll in Holbeck , but that he polled more votes than any other candidate in the Borough ! and that , too , after every means , dii fcy and infamous , had bf on resorted to , to damp ^ e his election . His AKTt-Free'Tradeismvrpz much played off , and dwelt upon by the enemy . Yet he polled more votes than any other man , the whole Borough tarougn ! And two-thirds of 3 Ua Totca were plumpers too : so that ha had eqnal to ja&t upon l , 00 O votes ! Who will now say that Chartism is downl ¦ ..

      The lyiug scribe of the " liberal" Journal here , who has furnished the Morning Chronicle with his account , says that it is by the treating and influence of the Torie 3 that Mr . Hobson has been returned , " How lame ! There never yet was an election on earth so pure as the Holbeck one . We believe that neither party resorted to treating : at all events Mr . Hobson's Mend 3 would not have given one single pint of ale to have gained the election . The voters had to walk to the polling-booth ; in some instances two miles . And as for the influence of the Tories , Mr . Rip ' ey , the greatest Tory in the Ward , voted for both iDgham and Pape , the two Whigs ! There war treating in some parts of the Borough ; but not at Holbtok .

      About sixty of Mr . Hobson ' s friends celebrated their glorious victory on the evening of the day of election , at the Woodman Inn , Swcet-Btrcat , by a substantial supper . Mr . Hobson and Mr . Kiss : were present , and addressed the assembly . A committf 3 was appointed to look after the Registry ; for the working men purpose to carry too . men next year . We understand that the Chartists of Le ^ s intend to celebrate their signal triumph in the Holbcsk and West Wards by either a Soiree or a Public Dinner , in . their new and large room ; It is not a bad idea . The Chartists are triumphant when they enter npon it ; a good omen of future success while in it . John Clapham , the Blob tailed * ' Refobmer .
