      BRUNSWICK HALL , ROPE MAKERS FIELDS , , LIMEHOUSE . This Hall—which has been enlarged , much to the credit of the body of working men who are its conductors , and in which a co-operative store , doing an extensive business , is now carried on by the same management—was crowded to excess at a meeting under the auspices of the Provisional Committee of the National Charter Association , on Monday evening , April 8 tb , for the purpose of re-organising Chartism in Limehouse and its vicinity . Mr . Barnard was called to the chair , and , in a few appropriate words , opened the business of the evening .

      Mr . Edmund Staiiwood moved the first resolution , asfollows : — " That while thismeetingdeeply deplores the dismembered condition of the ultra-democratic compact , and the absence of thatthorougbness' ofpurpoBe so essential to success , it recognises , notwithstanding , amid the scattered fragments and confusion * of party , the elements of progress and ultimate triumph , which , by judicious arrangement and concentration of purpose , - may be made to achieve the emancipation of industry , and a full measure of justice for alL" Mr . Staiiwood rose , warmly greeted , and said , the resolution he had the honour to submit was , some short time since , entirely true ; but , by the exertions of the Provisional Committee , the " scattered fragments" were , in a great measure ,

      gathered together ; and they already possessed more than one locality in the Tower Hamlets —one in the City of London—one in Marylebone—one in Plnsbury—one in Westminster , and a second forming—and several others over the water , in South London . They were also about to hold a meeting in the suburban borough of Greenwich . Many of the most prominent provincial towns and cities had likewise given in their adhesion ; Scotland , too , was activel y re-organising ; and the attendance and enthusiasm at their meetings reminded Mm more of 1848 , than of any other period . ( Hear , hear . ) It would not be necessary for him to go into an exposition of the principles of the Charter , as he had done so more than once or twice in that

      hallsuffice it to say , it conferred political power on the adult population , and gave protection and security to them in the exercise of that power . He was one of those who considered it necessary that Labour should he directly represented in the House of Commons by her own sons . ( Loud cheers . ) He ( Mr . Staiiwood ) thought the Charter should he looked at simply as a means to an end , and that if they possessed it to-morrow , it would be of little use , unless they were prepared to apply it . For his part ,. he must confess he bad a very great leaning towards " Communism "—and he thought it necessary that social questions should be discussed . ( Hear , hear . )

      It could not be right that Prince Albert should have £ 30 , 000 per year for merely performing the duties of . i husband . ( Hear , hear . ) Neither was it right that her Majesty should exact the enormous amount of £ 3 S 5 , 000 per annum , or that " John Campbell "—now Lord Campbell—for it had been tritely observed , that these people " changed their names like thieves , " as though they did not wish . to he known , should have £ 8 ^ 000 per annum for performing the functions of a judge , whilst mechanicswhose business was more difficult to learn—did not obtain more than—on an average—thirty shillings per week , or £ 75 per annum . ( Cries of " not that ' ' ) Well , he would rather be over than under

      the average : and he had seen , from tbe report of an inquest held at Hounslow Heath , that men who worked at the dangmmroeenpation of makinggnnpowder—and it must take time and skill to fit them for the occupation—only received from 2 a . id . to is . per day . Xow these were glaring anamolics in their social state . As regarded taxation , he would make it direct through a graduated property tax ; and then it would be the interest of the wealthy to minimise it , or reduce it to the lowest possible amount ; and this one tax answering every purpose , all others would be repealed . The repeal of tbe tases on knowledge would throw such a flood of light over the democratic horizon as would of itself

      enforce a great political and social change . ( Lond cheers . ) As property could not be looked at in any other light than as accumulated labour , the Property Tax should also be made to set to work the now compulsory idle , which might easily and profitably be done by means of the numerous royal forests . He would not cause any ill-feeling , by t-iking away any of the property at present held by the wealthy classes , but he did think , common sense and justice said to the workmen , henceforth produce , consume , and enjoy . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . "William 2 fEwiox , in seconding the resolution , said , he agreed much with Mr . Staiiwood , that unless the Charter was made the means of

      improving the social condition of the people it would be of little use . ( Hear , hear . ) This was the first meeting held in that locality for a considerable time , and he thought the improvements made in the hall , as well as the meeting itself , did great credit to its promoters . ( Loud cheers . ) He was delighted to hear the invitation thrown out by their chairman , to all sections to come forward and discuss the principles of the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) It was of all tainsanecessary that they should dis 1 cuss the necessary remedial measures ; this was fully shown by the results of events in a neighbouring country , and hence they ought at once to apply what he called the educational portion of the

      subject . ( Loud cheers . ) He trusted no obstruction would be offered to any party of progress , even though they fell short of what that meeting demanded , aad were justly entitled to . That there would be no arraying of section against section , but that they should all pull together in tbe cause of progress , until they achieved the great and miuhty end they had hi view . ( Cheers . ) For his part he did not think much of Financial Reform ; it was to political and social reform he looked for the accomplishment of their object . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Uewton again invoked unity , prudence , devotion , and zeal , in aid of the good cause , and sat down loudly applauded .

      Mr . G . "W . M . Retxolbs rose , loudly cheered , to support the resolution . They had been told by the preceding speakers that they had met that night to agitate for rights they did not possess . He contended that there was a time when there was nq nobility save that of manhood : no Barons , Marquises , ov Dukes , —( hear , hear , )—when each was as free as they came from the lands of their creator . ( Hear , Lear . ) Well , just suppose they went and formed a colony in the back woods , after clearing away the brushwood , would not the first thing they did be to form a code of rule 3 for their own government ? Well , then , it was as clear as davlight , that man was once his own law maker :

      and , it was equally clear , that man never voluntarily abandoned his rights and privileges , but that those rights and privileges had been wrested from him by force and fraud . ( Loud cheers . ) They now found society so reduced that the toiler , after struggling from morning until night , had scarcely sufficient of the commonest necessaries of life wherewith to feed his wife and family , whilst the voluptuous idler revelled In all the luxuries and elegancies of life . This state of things was not to be endured , and it was their duty to take such steps as should ensure a more equitable distribution He did not wonder that the rich were opposed to Chartism ; to them it doubtless was a destructive system ; it would destroy their gross tyranny and oppression , but it \* o » 5 d elevate the people m the social scale . He looked to the Charter as the means of obtaining social privileges . ( Cheers . 1

      ue naa just snewn them that laws preceded government ; this implied a constitution ; but be defied any one even Lo . J-John Itusscll himself , to point out or produce an Enghsh constitution . In fine , the alteration of triennial parliaments to septennial , was a . proof that no such thing existed ; and it was nonsense to suppose that a corrupt House of Commons would reform itself . ( Cheers . ) True , they were told that they had Jung , Lords , and Commons and that it is a nicely balanced affiiir—that it is an excellent system of checks—that the Lords were a check upon the King—but how could it , when it was responsible to nobody ? ( Hear , hear . ) The term aristocracy meant the best—but he took it for granted , the aristocracy of the present day was the woret . ( Loud cheers . ) He should much like to know where the patent of aristocracy was to be found ? It appeared to him to have originated in

      plunder andrapme . The aristocracy may be said to be divided into three parts : the first portion was established by William the : Conqueror ; the second portion received their origin in the sale of their mother ' s charms to the monarch of the day . ( Hear , hear . ) Had any sectioivof working men such a base ° u- " . ?—instead , of showing their quarterings on shields , &c , they . would hang with very shame their diminished heads . . ( Great cheering . ) The third portion owedtheir ori gin to the sale of their talents to the minister of the day . The third estate , the Commons , was supposed to constitute democracy . ( Laughter . ) Why , if such a balance did exist . it was the most contemptible of mockeries : but the democracy-wa 3 not represented in the third estate —it was the aristocracy that exercised control

      . here . As to the Queen , he believed she knew nothing of the misery and wretchedness of her people ; and if she did , and was to say , " I wish such and such laws to be passed for the benefit of my people , " he could imagine she would soon be told , by Lord John Russell , not to trouble herself with the affairs of the nation . ( Loud cheers . ) Well , then . the aristocracy made a puppet of the sovereign , - and grasped the power of the Commons ; and for the reason that demooracy was not there , they met to-night to agitate for the Charter . Now the Charter , was a real constitution , ( Loud cheers . ) The Charter was like a machine , it was imperfect if a single spoke was left out—it would be 8 hmping ^ haltirig . affair , and they would be almost asbad as if they bad never possessed it . Just

      sun-» se that they had the Suffrage without the Ballot . The church would step in with its thunder—the men of many acres , would come in with their bluster ing threats , &c , and what a hapless position would be thoir ' s without the protection of the Ballot , and had they both these something more would also be required . Mr . Jfewton had spoken of the Parliamentary Reformers ; but , although he ( Mr . Reynolds ) belonged to the council of that body , he did not altogether admire its programme . He bad tried to alter it , and should again . He waited to see what Mr . Stall wood had so boldly and eloquently enunciated , namely , labour representing itself in the Commons House of Parliament ; and hence , he said , let Payment of Members prevail . He unhesitatingly told them , they never would have their iust

      rights until they bad the Charter , unmangled , unmutflated , whole and entire . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Sir Robert Peel was a clever genius in his way ; but / if he lost his property to-morrow , it was immediately supposed his talents and genius were gone , as he immediately lost his qualification ; now look at the other side ; take the most wretched , miserable , and ignorant being . in existence , and suppose a shower of gold was to fall upon him , he is at once endowed with all the qualifications and genius of a Legislator . ( Laughter and loud cheers . ) The eldest sons of peers do not require any property qualiScation . He supposed that was for their great morality and business-like habits . Barristers , when first called to the bar , were thought too young to defend the laws ; they required study and practice

      to make them perfect ; and . even judges frequently COuld not understand the law , yet these unpledged lordlinga at once were qualified to make laws that barristers and _ judges could not understand . Again , property qualification was not required in Scotland . Then why should it be required elsewhere , except to keep the people unrepresented ? ( Hear , hear . ) As regarded Equal Electoral Districts , why should Thetford or Harwich possess the same rights as the Tower Hamlets—each returning two members , although their relative numbers were so dissimilar ? As regarded Annual Parliaments , suppose any person to go to a gentleman and insist upon being engaged for seven years—tbe gentleman would naturally exclaim , "You are-mad ! " If masters demanded annual , or , even earlier

      onnortunities of discharging bad servants , why should not the people ha-se the sanie opportunities of discharging their servants , if they did not suit them ? ( Loud cheers . ) He had gone through the six points , and he hoped he had clearly illustrated that if they took away a single pointthey rendered the whole bill defective . Lord John Russell had said , if they had the Charter they would sweep away the National Debt ; and in one sense he saii truly . He ( Mr . Reynolds ) was no repudiator or spoliator . He . would not sponge it out—but ho certainly would adjust it by taking it off the shoulders of those who bad no hand in creating it , and . putting it on those who had . The debt was contracted to roll back democracy by the landlords , and he said , let them pay it . ( Loud cheers . ) Let them see what

      the Charter would enable them to do , for Mr . Stallwood had wisely told them it was a mere means to an end . The first step would be the abolition of the laws of mortmain , entail and primogeniture , which would place the land in the hands of the people , and this would be no spoliation ; railways took land by act of parliament , giving a fair remuneration in return . He asked , would it be spoliation if they took the garden God had given them , and parcelled it out for the benefit of the whole people ? ( Loud cheers . ) The people had been grossly calumniated by being called bloodthirsty spoliators ; but when the capitals of the world were in their , hands , in 1 S 43 , they did not erect the political scaffold—they did not resort to spoliation and blood . No ; but they were a merciful and

      magnanimous people ; in fact , they had been too merciful ; for no sooner did they let power go out of their hands , than their old enemies turned upon them , and women were whipped in the streets , and men were expatriated or slaughtered by thousands . This proved the people to be humane , and their tyrants bloodthirsty miscreants . It will bo remembered that the "Lion Queen" was destroyed by a tiger a short time ago . The Times , Standard , and Advertiser , in commenting thereon , Bad said she was induced to enter the den , and go through her performance , at the instigation of the instincts of the common people , and which brutal instincts proved them not fit to exercise , their rights—those papers had forgotten , that this same . " Lion Queen" had performed twice before her Majesty , and that at her first performance her

      Majesty had expressed her approbation by placing a splendid shawl on the " Lion Queen's" shoulders by her own royal hands . ( Hear , hear . ) And that on the second occasion , her Majesty had caused her to be presented with a purse of fifty sovereigns . And they must have farther forgotten , that' the daily papers recorded the fact of her Majesty and Prince Albert ' s visit to Hounslow for the purpose of seeing a Guardsman cut right through a living sheep at one stroke , or they would not have talked of brutal instincts ' . ( Loud cheering . ) Let them prove by their morality and intelligence that they were the sovereign people . Let them be true to themselves , and the Charter must speedily become the law of the land , ( Tremendous cheering . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanU mously .

      _ Dr . Brookes rose to move the following resolution ¦ : — " That with a view to render practical the principles enunciated in the foregoing resolution , this meeting pledges itself to resuscitate the comparatively dormant agitation for the People's Char-, ter . and to devise a system of organisation in this locality calculated to secure its certain and speedy adoption . " Mr . Matthias , in seconding the resolution , said he had already enrolled his name under the organisation of the Provisional Committee , and said there , in that Hall , was now a comfortable place for the Chartists of that district to meet in ; and its directors had alread y exhibited their competency for business , by establishing their splendid and eminently successful co-operative store . ( Loud cheers . ) ¦

      Mr . W . J . Versos received a warm greeting , and said ; The Charter waa not to be got by cheering for ; they muse each work for it as though the whole depended on the individual , and show their sincerity by inducing their friends to organise . They had hoard of the delusion practiced at the time of the Reform Bill . The Attorney General , who had used Ms eloquence to secure his ( Mr . Vernon ' s ) conviction , had led a Physical Force torch light procession through the City of Chester . ( Ilear , hear . ) True , he knew the Reform Bill would bring the people nothing , whilst it would bring him the ( Attorney General ) a good place . They hear nothing of tlie " Little Charter . " If any ono said anything to them about it let their reply be the " Whole Charter " or a great deal more . ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was unanimously adopted .

      A vote of thanks was awarded to the chairman , who , in responding , announced that meetings , for the enrolling of members , would be held in that Hall eyery Monday evening , and tho meeting quietly dispersed .

      Mb . Bbottw said , nothing could move clearly illustrate the irresponsibility of Government ,, than the inattention to the wants , wishes , and desires of the people , notwithstanding their continued petitions , appeals , and remonstrances . ( Hear , hear ) . Mr . Brown then went through , the several points of the Charter , showing the necessity for their adoption , and their interest and utility to the masses , when properly applied , and resumed his seatamidst applause . . ¦ ¦ \ ¦ , ¦¦ ¦

      Bbonterbe O'Bbien rose , loudly applauded ; and said , he congratulated the committee , who drew uputae resolution for introducing the word . ' Social" into ' i $ , as no great political change would ever take place until the people understood their social rights . ( Loud cheer ? . ) The principles of Radical Reform had been advocated for the last seventy years , and the points . of the . Charter had been , from . time to time , supported by several wealthy and able men ; by the Duke of Richmond ; by Fox , and by that wealthy commoner , Sir Francis Burdett ; and sixty years ago , the identical points of the People ' s Charter were agreed to at the Freemason ' s Tavern , but no real progress had been made , There -were more persona than ever in favour

      of the principles , at the present time ; privation and suffering , probably-may have induced this ; and before they altered it , they would have to learn to act on the decree , that every mau must labour , yes labour , either with his hands or his head ; not cart horse labour , but such labour as shall be at once conducive to health and happiness . ( Loud cheers . ) There was land and capital enough in existence for the employment of all ; ( hear , hear ) , yet there were thousands who in vain asked for leave to toil , arid poor but highly intelligent women , were reduced to the alternative of making sailor ' s shirts at one penny farthing each , or downright starvation . ( Shame shame ) . "Wh y was this ? Because landlords and money lords have taken to themselves the- land God

      intended for all . ( Great cheering ;) Why did the middle classes support this mere handful of landlords ? Because whilst the working classes are deprived of their territorial rights , they have , nothing left but ¦ to compete ;' \ vitl v . ^ < f * ph . JfOT labour , and ^ the selfishjaggtfftduemeht -of ~ these ~ -men required an army of slaves . ( Great cheering . ) He trusted the working people would ; neyer consent- to go for anything less than such a political measure as would confer rights on all . ( Hear . ) He did not believe that any man who would ask the people to go for any . . . tax , or property qualification measure , was honest ; for let the tax be as low as it would , it

      would deprive the mass of the people of tho franchise . ( Hear . ) He would suppose the tax to bo sixpence ; but if every workman kept ; himself and family as he ought , and paid his debts , where was the man amongst them who would have sixpence left ? Why had they not sixpence ? Because they were not proprietors of thoir own labour . ( Hear . ) Laws were made invariably . against the people ; but all these things would be remedied by me . ms of tbe People ' s Charter , always provided they knew their social rights when they . obtained that measure . ( Loud cheers . ) Only one nation ( France ) at present possessed universal suffrage : arid Franco , holds it I > y such an insecure tenure that no one can say how

      long she will possess it , as every-step taken , in that ' country by the l'epresontatives , arid for the benefit of the Proletarians , is declared to be aa attack on society . The land and fundmorigers , who are , in reality , mere scabs on it , have dared to arrogate society to themselves . They are ' ' . ' society , " and the wealth producers are canaille , outcasts , and rabble , who are to be kept in order . ( Hoar , hear . ) It made his ( Mr . O'Brien ' s ) blood boil when he rc-flected how . the people of England , —a thinking ; people , ' as they were called , —allowed the usurer and Jand stealer , to deprive them of their natural rights , whilst they ( the masses ) were converted into slaves and cut-throats . —( hear , hear . )—some under the degrading name of servants , ' fellows

      m plush breeches , and game keepers ,. to preserve vermin , ' which , the ancient laws declared were nobody's property ; as they were kept by divine providence . ( Loud cheers . ) How did the higher classes ( as thoj were termed ) get the votes ? by going on their knees and begging the people to give it them ? no : ; but by taking them .. And be ( Mr . OIBrien ) did not blame , them , for so taking their rights ; but he did blaine them for making the trifling mistake of taking the people ' s rights with their own . In France it was not to be supposed that the whole people understood their social , rights '; but there were some two millions who did , and who were determined to maintain them at all hazards ; and if these wore again

      driven to the streets in self-defence , they would not attack the poor ignorant hired mercenaries , but fty at once on the murderers who employ these 1 mercenaries to keep down right anil justice . ( Tremendous cheering . ) . " ' . ¦>¦¦ -. Mr . WaltkrCooper , amidsfcgreatapjiause , came forward to support the resolution , and said , on reading the Morning Ghrbnydtthe other day , he perceived the editor ' gravely , observed , "That ho government could please all the' people , and that those demagogues who told them they could , were deceivcrs . " 116 ( Ml . W . Uoripw ) hinintairiecl , ithat if Government could not please or satisfy a | l the people , there was much they could do in modifying or making laws to improve the ' sociai condition ' of the

      people , winch they altogether neglected . ( Hear , hear . ) The philosophy of Peel and Graham , and of the Manchester School was , that the people were machines / and that when they were 'fused up " , they were to be east off . He was there to protest against that doctrine . Oh , when he saw the galling insults heaped on his order—when he saw the tyranny practised on them—notwithstanding their high , moral sentiments and resolves , 'lib was almost tempted to exclaim with the poet— , 11 , for the swords of former times , I Ob , for the men who bore ( hem , ' : When for right they stood sublime , And tyrants crouched before them . "

      ( Great cheering . ) . Dr . South wood Smith had told them that the , average of human life was but seventeen years ; and another writer , that there are 10 , 000 prostitwtes on the streets of London , arid that when these died off , another 10 , 000 were ready to take their places ; another writer assured them that there were as many thieves . Assuredly those things say little for the moral and social condition of England . I ( Hear , hear . ) There was land , skill and labour , jto produce sufficient tor all . Writers on political economy had told them that there was a ; sufficiency of

      land in England with , which to ; feed one . Hundred millions of persons , and the united kingdom jdid not number more than forty millions . ( Hear , hear . ) The sociul question is the material orie . > ( Loud cheers . ) They had probably heard tho story of Mr . Guthrie , of Edinburgh ; and tlie old woman . Guthrie went to preach spiritual consolation . He found the old woman miserable ^ cold , ' and hungry . He told hev there were other things beside " misery , oold ; and hunger , " to be thought of . " 'Deed , Sir , ' ' retorted the . old , woman , "were you as cold'and hungry and I am , you could think ofnotliing else , ' !

      of their sister democrats present on that occasion , lie had suffered with Williams and Sharp , which he presumed would give him the privilege of . speech on this occasion .

( "Shame , shame , " and other symptoms of indignation . ) Notwithstanding this , he differed with the last gentleman , who had addressed them . Ho did not desire

      revenge . He wished his ; brother democrats to take the high ground of humanity , and leave tha reverse for their opponents . He ( Mr . ' Verhon ) believed that he had played a game of chance ; and lost , and , consequently , that be was in the Hands of his opponents , who had pursued their'own policy . ( Hear , hear . ) Tho times appeared to fiiive much changed since he went to prison ; and he believed that never had a better feeling existed in favour of genuine Chartism . ( Loud cheers . ) He was delighted to hear that .. they were to have another ally in the shape of a journal , which , would be a through representative of their feelings , both as regards English and foreign politics , and under the management of ' ¦ Mr .

      circulation equal to , if not surpassing that of the Times itself . ( Greatcheering . ) The Charter and something more , had become an every day word . What did that something more mean ?—notlblood , but it meant " their social rights . It was not f » r him now to go through tlie learned and lucid schemes of socialism that had from time to titn . 9 been put forth ; but the bible had snid : — " Ha who will not work neither shnll he eat ; " he wished to see this piece of scriptural doctrine fully carried out ; and socialism meant tbe v realisation of this principle . ( Cheers . ) They had been told nof ; to 'be deluded by any other movement ; and Mr . Reynolds had most delicately hinted that their was another new niovo for professed Chartism .

      shape , of a clergyman , the Rev . Mr . "TTnrrall , of Trinity Chapel , Bethnal-green . Tho Rev . Gentleman rose , greeted with a right hearty welcome , and said : They must not expect much of a speech from him , as ho had not been long a democrat . He ; was converted by seeing six or seven policemen boating a , working man on the Green where they held their meetings two years ago .

( Tremendous cheering . ) If . he lost his gown he had his hands to work with—and he would freely work with his hands rather than sacrifice his principles ; although a young man he was perfectly ready to discuss the question of Democracy with his Lordship of London , or h ' s Grace of Canterbury . ( Loud cheers . ) His master—Christ—was . 1 Democrat and

      a Communist , and so was he .

      Bobberies ox the Isthmus of Pajtaiu . —The following is an extract from the Jamaica Morning Journal , which arrived by the last West India steamer : — " The Atta California , of the 31 st of December , mentions , on the authority of passenger * by Oie last steamer , that the natives on the Isthmus have not maintained their character for honesty , which was their distinguishing trait when the immigration acro 33 the Isthmus first commenced . Ttiey have Cea ? ed , that paper says , to consider "honesty a politic principle , and hare recently committed several robberies . One gentleman was stripped of 3 considerable amount of money . He

      "Was with others in a canoe , managed by natives , who made it fast to a bank at n certain point of the r iver , went up to a hnt , and returned soon after , accompanied bv a number of others , and robbed tlie Americans of all their Talnable property . "We also learn that a box of gold dust , shipped bj the October sieamer , by a mercantile house here ( San Fran cisco ) , was « pened , and 500 ounces abstracted . It IS supposed to Lare been stolen upon the Isthmus ; out we are inclined to think that no native performed the job . "We think it would be well for persons crossing the Isthmu 3 at this time , with any « o- siderable amount of money , to provide themselves with armsas they miht be necessary .

      , g -tiven the severe and effective measures of the ruler ° J - "l-TPt cannot prevent robberies on the Isthmus of Suez , for only a month or two since two boxes of JetteM belonging to the Indian mail were lost in crossing that isthmus , and hare not yet been recovered . Perhaps this might he tinder the influence Of such a gentle hint as llehemeb All , when a ponioa of . the Indian mnil was lost some Tears iance , held out to the Arab mail guide , whom he threatened to make a head shorter if the letter boxes were not forthcoming . If the Isthmus of Suez be not always safe , the Isthmus of Panama sorely cannot be , without great care and snnprvi .

      sion . TPe wonld not exactl y recommend Meliemet Ali ' s strong measure , but it behoves both the British and American governments to see that increased precautions are taken , as tie traffic across the great highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific increases . The TaluaWe mails between England and the Pacific , and millions of money belonging to English merchants , are now sent across the Panama isthmus ; and thousands of persons and gold of J 3 un » se value , belonging to America , also cross wat isthmus . Ths object in drawing the attention <« the British and American governments to these &cts is , that tbe stable door Inay be locked before we horse is stolen . "

      Men of the Provinces , for years I have told ^ ou , that when you were up and doing , the men of the metrop olis were inactive and apaifceiie- while I have recently expressed my joy t the ' new vigour that has heen . infused into the metropolitan hive , and I still rejoice in that resusc itation , while my reason for addresang you and them , h to implore of _ the ' f ^ - mio ^ ov ^^ Mv ^^ Wl ^ kway -ii y ^ he dr ones . How often have I told you , that every Government hashased its power upon popular disunion ? A » d if you have read the account of a great meeting that has recently taken place ia Aew York , and which was reported in the

      Irishman of la ** ^^ ek , you will find that these national sroahbles are not confined to any particular conntry ; hut find their way across the Atlantic , At the meeting to which I refer » there was not only a squahhle , hnt a regular fight between the Irish emigrants—one party contending for the DUFFY ALLIANCE principle , and the other party for flse principles adopted by the purely democratic party in Ireland , so faithfully and ably represented by the Irishman ; and to prove to you the fact , ihatyour disunion has been the strength of the Government , I give you the following pithy extract from the speech of a man named Walsh , deftVsred at that meeting . Here it

      is : — 3 Iv iather never foHotredpolitics'l leaders in this country , though his house and his purse were opened to every Irishman ; and that is : one reason why I flare always avoided empty , soulless demagogues . ( A . Voice— Xhat ?» the talk , ' and great cheering ;) The Irish people are natural ! virnpet aons . and all their feults are seen to tfceir acts , wJfile their voices are hidden ftom the world . We hare it upon official record , ihat at least one-hatf of ihe heroes who tiled anfl died atDe la Pahna , and other Moody fields in Mexico , were Irishmen ; and we know that twothirdsof those who bore the stars anS stripes victorious over the embattled heights of the foe , were Irishmen . ( Tremendous cheering . ) It is not , then , the mint of natural conrage that nas defeated Irishmen , lrat the want of union . ( Hear . )

      Xow , after long experience , this man truly tells you , that the want of union , and not the want of national courage , has destroyed Ireland ; and I as truly repeat—for , the onethousandth time—that the want of union , and not the want of courage , has destroyed popular principles in England . I learn that some poor gentlemen , who are too proud to work , and too poor to live Without labour , were mortally stung by my denunciation of any attempt , on the part of the Chartists of this country , to contend for a Eepnblican form of gorernment , in my speech delivered at the John-street Institution , on

      Tuesday week last But I not only reiterate every sentence in that speech , but I go further , and inform the poor gentlemen , that , being rery ' uhwell at the time , nothing would have induced me to attend the meeting but that very object , namely , to take the winkers off the eyes of the working classes , and not to allow them to be led blindfold out of the highroad of troth , into the quagmire of folly and nonsense . And I again repeat , that if tomorrow I had the power of establishing a form of gorernment in a newly-colonised country , that form of government should be a Eepublic ; while neither self-vanity or ambition , or the threat of desertion , or slander , should ever - induce me io relapse from

      a long-established Monarchy to a Eepublic . Get the Charter to-morrow , and when the power behind the throne is greater than the throne itself , and when the laws for the people are made by the people , then monarchy will smell as sweet as Republicanism . And in conclusion , let me , in the name of God , in the name of jnstice , in the name of common sense , implore of yon to keep the one iron , the Charter , in the fire alone ; and do not , hr the one iundrethrtime , be led away by the interested folly of interested speculators , when your only reward will be , as of yore , philanthropic appeals to defend and support , not your victimE , but fhe Tieiims of the poor gentlemen .

      THE FUND ON BEHALF OF THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF THE MARTYRS , "WILLIAMS AND SHARP . A tea party and public meeting was held at the National Hall , High Holborn , in support of the above , on Wednesday evening , April 10 th , being the second jinniversary of the memorable Kennington-comniou meeting . Betwcn three and four hundred persous sat down to tea . The tea-tables having been cleared , at eight o'clock the company was increased by the persons coming in to the public meeting . . Shortly after that hour ,

      Mr . William Davis was called to the chair , and said they had met for a twofold purposeto sympathise with the widows und-orphans of Williams and- Sharp , who had died during their imprisonment in the good cause ; but the memories of those men would be revered , when those of their oppressors would be hated and abhorred . ( Oheers . ) Thoir second object was to commemorate the memorable . Tenth of April—that day which had so alarmed the aristocracy—as well it niight , when they looked back at their origin ( the Graftons , &c , to wit ) , to whom they , awed their bivth and lineage to kept women of Charles II . The only aristocracy that would ever gain the

      respect and esteem of the people would be one of talent . Some gentlemen who stood high in the movement , blamed them for interferring in Foreign politics ; and even Mr . O'Connor had said they gained applause by interfering in such matters . Now , he ( Mr . Davies ) said , if they did they deserved such applause . ( Loud cheers . ) The Press had called Chartism a failure , and it was to be . regrekd that Chartism had so few advocates in the Press ; but it was a pleasure to know , that iu a few weeks a thorough Democratic journal would be launched , one that would .-go the whole liog , briatles and all , one conducted by their excellent friend Mr . Reynolds —( cheers)—who he

      would now call upon to move the resolution . " That this meeting deeply sympathises with the widows and orphans of Williams and Sharp , who sacrificed their lives in the cause of democracy , and hereby renews it 9 pledge tievei- to cease Its agitation until the People ' s Charter shall be the Law of the Land , and the people be in full possession of their just' social privileges . " Tbe reading of the resolution was hailed with great applauae . Mr . Retnolbs ,: on rising , was greeted with prolonged cheering , and said this was the annivei- ~ sury of that great movement two years ago , when they . went humbly to ask for that which he coaceivedthey ought to possess as . 1 right . It was-no wonder that the aristocracy and ¦ '• money-mongers

      trembled at such a ' movement , resollectinsr , as , they uiust , that all the property they possessed " was unduly , wrung from the sweat and blood of the people —( loud cheers)—nor was it'wohderful that they should raise the ire of the middle classes through the means of the base Press denouncing the Ohartists as spolintorsnnd men who wore bent Oil pillage and'blood . Ho said it was no wonder , for . tlu-y knew right well if * . he Charter was obtained and properly applied , that these oppressive privileges they . now hrld would be abolished , ; and that th& people would have their just social privileges restored . ( Loud cheess . ) They k , ae \ v it must place that great question of . Socialism : prpmiiientlj ; for-\ vavd > aud that the people would set svbout discussing ii with a view to solve it . ( Great cheering . He ( Mr . - Reynolds ) had the vwy highest respeet for Mr . Feargus O'Connor , and believed him , to

      heone of the most sincere directors of tbo ^ public mind who had ever breathed—( loud chews )—but ho regretted exceedingly , that ho should say ! it ' not their business to interfere with foreign politics , In this matter he most respectfully ditterod' ffith Mv . O'Connor . TVhat shall we not rohto toouv children , and thus hand down to posterity the heroism of a-, Koisuth . Mid a Mazzini ? ( Loud cheers . ) Shall we not show the world ,, that-although--a miserable Pope may , for a time , rule the ; Italian states , that . Ma ' zziui shall yet return to tho Eternal City—arid bless old Rohio by the glories of his triumvirs ? ( Longcontinued cheering . ) ' Shall we not point out that tho continental nations will speedily rise again , and thut" the wretched impostor Buonaparte , will be hurled from the capital ol Trance , that the bravo and wise Lodru Rol in and Louis Blanc shall return in . triumph , ' and that tne
