BIRMINGHAM . —Meeting at thk Christian Chabiist Chcbch , Nevthall-Sirkex . —A meeting was held at this place on Thursday , April 8 th , to hear » lecture from Mr . O'NolL At the chwe of the lecture , Mr . John Collins deliTered an accoont of his mission to Banbury and Warwick , which places he had visited for the purpose of opening churches on the same principles u that at Birmingham . When Mr . Collins had concluded , Mr- George White stood np in the body of the chapel and required pernaiasion of the Chairman to aak Mr . O'Keiia question . The Chairman wished to kijow ¦ what the question w » s before he conld give hi » consent . Mr . White replied that it was one concerning himself . He understood that Mr . O'Neil had charged the agent or correspondent of Mr . O'Connor with being
* spy , he therefore demanded of Mr . O'Aeil "who he meant * as there was no other paid agent of Mr . O'Connor in Birmingaam but himself . Mr . O'Neil arose in the pulpit and stated that he had never made Any andi charge in pcblic , although be admitted that lie did ao privately , and at the time be did so he had bis eye on George White . Mr . White then proceeded to address the meeting . He said that he had . been mixed « p with the present movetaeet from its commencement , and b&d bees for ten years actively engaged in the straggle now being made by tbe working classes , for the purpose of effecting their 4 eiiverance frem the present murder » cs system , and he defied any man to prove that he had ever deviated * tour's breadth from the honest adTt > = acy of sound Chartist principles . He was at a loss t * explain Mr . O'Nsa ' sniot . ivesfbr making such a charge , as he had entleavcured , as far as lay in his power , to do justice to all parties since his arrrral in Birmingham . They had all remembered the meetings which had iaEely been held at
Hol-Joway Head , and such WiS his "desire to steer clear of party that -fee had been charged by -members of the Jf ational Charter Association with giving his reports too much in favour of the Christian Chartist Gbureh . But from fee bad spirit that existed amongst them , towards the really honest portion of the Chartist body , he was determined for the future be-shew them up in their true colours , as there did not seem to be a chance of confgiiintfng them and inducing them to -cooperate With their fellow countrymen . ( Hisses . ) Whit did they bias for ? Was that a sample ef their Christian charity ? He considered them to be a parcel of fanatics , and not Chartists or Cferistiais . He would appeal to themselves Whether he had not endeavoured to-cause a union of all grades of Chartists , whether he had not waited upon them for the purpose of inducing them to form a part Of the National Charter Association * They had promised to do so when the Association became legal , and sow that it was so they were as much opposed to it as before . What then ¦ were men to think of them ?
He defied Mr . O'Aeil to prove his assertions . He bad frem the first been a realons advocate of the people ' s rights , and ehould eontinae tfc . e ease course in oppoa&on to all humbug or deception . Mr . Hill then arose , aad made several enquiries concerning , their meetings not being reported in the Star . Mr . White answered that their meetings were not petitieal , and were not calculated to forward the Cha » tist cause . He , therefare , considered , the CuartUt body no more interested in their preaching th * n tfcat of any other religious body . If they formed a political association , and discussed the principles of the Charter , then he should attend , but otherwise he should not ( Rtnewed hisses . ) If that was Christian Chartism he should beg leave to withtew and have nothing farther to do with them . He then left the meeting , ilr . Wm . Martin arose , and r # -
QueBxed the eha . irmftji to put it to the meeting whether ihey would hear him . ( Cries of " go on , go on . *) He aid he came not there for the purpose of creating discord , but to induce every man who heard him to join t&fi National Charter Association , so as to compel their oppressors to restore to the people their inalienable rights . His friend , White , had been attacked in a cowardly manner , and charged with not reporting the proceedings of their Church . He thought them very unreasonable ; for if he gave reports of their proceedings , he anight equally as well be expected to visit all the churches and chapels in the town . ( Hisses . ; fie did not expect snch treatment es that on his first entrance amongst a body of men calling themselves Chartists and Caristians . Their conduct was similar to that which he experienced in Northallerton House of
Correction , where poor Clayton was murdered , because the language of that place was continual hissing . He ns extremely sorry to find men looking for their emancipation by means so likely to defeat the object they professed to hare in view , and was surprised that a man like Mr . Collins , who had been offered on the altar of persecution , should coincide in the legality doctrine . Ee could compare that d » ctrine to nothing else than a drunken rnun reprobating the publican whom he supported . For whflrt they found fault with bad Govern , jnent , they would not proceed to counteract its evil effects without first making enquiry of the greatest supporters of that Government whether it is legal or not He would ask them what it was that compelled the Whigs to reduce the tax on newspapers ? Was it the
legality doctrine ? Xo , it was the determined resistance of men who openly avowed th&ii intention to break bad laws , and try the power of right against might Boey might preach and pray as they thought proper , but for his part , although be was one who had suffered ¦ eighteen months' imprisonment , still he waa nothing daunted , but vas determined to pursue the same course "Without fear of consequences ; forjf men were resolved te have their rights , the Whig Government might fill « rery connty gaol with Chartist victims , the expence of which , would compel tha middle class i thousands of vhom were on the verge of baBkrnptey ) to cry ont £ aiast it Why did they call themselTes Christian Chartists ? If tiey really wanted the Charter , did they suppose that the eight millions of Irish Catholics Would unite with men who formed a Beet
oppo « d to their religious viewB ? Tha Irish Catholics would look upon them in the same light as they did the Bible readers , who received a poand per week for insulting the impoverished inhabitants of the wretched huts , and worse than TtmKvh wigwams , in which they were forced to take shelter . If , therefore , they intended to have the assistance of the Irish on thia great question , thtirs was not the proper course for ensuring it : if , on the contrary , they merely sought their own benefit , to the exclusion of Ireland , as an irishman , he protested against it , for he knew that his country could only be made free by uniting with the British people for the Charter ; and when he stood on the shores of his native land to
Bound the trumpet of freedom , which he hoped soon to la-re the pleasure of doinj , be would carefnlly avoid anything calculated to create religious animosity , and , instead of the Bible , he would hold the Charter in his hand , anl invite his countrymen to rally round it He hoped that the men who heard him -weald conaider that , in addition to the Irish Catholics , there were thousands o £ the same creed in England : there Were also the Jews , Unitarians , and other cects , -who might take objection to their views of Christianity . He concluded by stating that , as the hour was late , he would not farther trespass on their time , but should content himself by challenging Messrs . Collins or O'Neil to discuss the question with him . After a few Words from Mr . Collins , tha met-ting separated .
THE TOWK has been posted with bills , signed ** WDliam Martin , " wherein he challenges the preachers of the Christian Chartist Church to meet him at the Chartist Boom , Freeman-street , when he should prove that the new-fangled system of Christian Chartist Churches was calculated bo create discord amongst the Chartists of Great Britain . THE CHARTIST MEETIKG ROOM , Freeman-street , continues to be well attended , and numbers . are contotally enrolling their names in the National darter Association . Lsetores are delivered by Messrs . Martin and Taylor , every Monday , Wednesday , and Sunday eveninga . ^

Tiucmph OP Chabtism . —If any proof was required to show the utter falsehood ef Sir John Campbell ' s statement , that " Chartism is dead , " the events of the past week have supplied sufficient By ttw coquetting of the Edinburgh press f » r thiB week or two back , we expected something , but we Aid not expect that the Whigs would resort to the Tory system of 1831-32 by holding hole and corner meetings , yet this is true . On Thursday , placards , headed in the following tempting form , were exhibited : — " Cheap bread ""Sign the petition against the Corn Laws . " Thus proving to a demooatjatieu that the days of " humbug " are passed away , and that the working classes new
kn « w where the " shoe pinches , " and it is to be hoped that they will never rest satisfied until they get new shoes , that will suit them better . If ever a triumph wbs obtained by the Chartists , this is one . Let us look back to the halcyon days « f Whiggery , when they could b * ast at their meeti&p that the inhabitants of Edinburgh were for Reform ; and , if the Reform Bill did not pass , " SO . OOt sabres would be drawn—the scabbards thrown away—and they never would be laid aside until the people had their rights . " Now they dare not » seet to discuss any question . " How have the mighty fallen " ' How have the great become low . ' ¦'

Moir , of Glasgow . The National Petition was unanimously agreed to , amd measures adopted to nave it speedily and as numerously signed as possible . A »« ire © was held in tbeCniversal Suffrage Hall , at night , where a numerous party of male and female Chartists partook of refreshments , and enjoyed the Bong and the sentiment to a late-hour .
GLASGOW . —A Chartist concert was held in the Christian Chartist Chaich , last Monday evening ; never was the Church so com pletely crowded . Mr . John Fraser , of Edinburgh , and his two daughters , along with the Messrs . Locks , « f Glasgow , gave great satisfaction , and the display of their vocal powers elicited the most lively bursts of approbation . A lecture was delivered the following night , in the same place , by Mr . A . Ihmcan , who denounced in strong and powerful language the present infamous system of misrule by which so many innocent victims were annually sacrificed at the mammon shrine of the higher and middle classes of society . He concluded by ridiculing the folly of the Chartists , as be expressed it , snivelling , blowing their neses , and begging and praying at the doors of the middle classes ; that class is all powerful to do evil , tut appears unable to do any good , either for themselves or any other body , or they never would suffer themselves to be plundered by the unequal and unfair system of taxation .

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE AT LIVERPOOL ASSIZES . Ceowm Cocst , Litebpool , Satcbday , April 10 . Elizabeth Daniells was indicted for that she , being the wife of John Daniells , feloniously married one Joseph Smith , on the 8 th of Dec , 184 « , the said John Daniells being then alive ; and John DanieUt , her husband , was charged with having counselled , promoted , and incited his wife , Ettzibeth , to commit the offense . The prisoners pleaded Not Gnilty . Mr . Armstrong and Dr . Bmws prosecuted ; Mr . MtTBPHT appeared for Elizabeth Danielis , and Mr . Wilkiss defended John Daniells . The circumstances of this case were peculiar , and exhibited a sad picture of depravity , crime , cunning , and stupidity .
The evidence disclosed that the female prisoner was the daughter of an innkeeper , in Dale-street , « nd not a person of the most correct habits . That in September 1839 , she married the prisoner , John Daniells , who at the time bore a good character , and was a clerk Id a merchant's office in Liverpool After the marriare they took lodgings , and lived together , for same time bat gradaal lf their means became less , and they were in extreme distress . The prosecutor , John Smith , is a civil engineer , and was one day in August last enjoyta * a walk in . St James ' s Walk , when he met the female prisoner walking with a respectable old lady . He was at once stack with her charmj , « nd when they took their seats on a bench he went and sat beside them . Wojdjs—like ; angtf ^ Tisits , and ne doubt be then thought that the tint ot Elizabeth to the " Walk" was oae of them—were few and far between , but they were eommiBgled with . many a furtive glance at the object of hia admirati on . They parted ; , they met again in the
street , and J ? hn Smith passed and moved ; the move wm returned , aad added ore to hU touchwood heart . Appointments to meet at the attest boor of eve followed in quick soeoeasUm . The female prisoner was then living with hat husband in Bolton-street In one of their hoars of rendezvous she made the confession that she mi s widow—{ sir he - knew she wu ; that her husband had been captain of the shi p Oxford , and bad bees drowned at sea ; that she was poaasBed d £ Si vyear , and waa then living with her brother-in-law , & Mr . Edmondson , a wholesale draper , is Bold-street Her worldly prospects quite dazzled the eyes of Mr .. Smith . He admired her before ; she waa bis idolatry now . The widow ' s wealth , and the widow ' s self , determined him to make her at once his own . Meeting after meeting took place—beautiful , because they were stolen , as he fancied ; she having represented that she gaTe them without the knowledge of her brother-in-law . She

always came to him like Niob « , all tears , and agitated to the highest and most rom antic degree , on account of the disagreements existing » jx her family , from her partiality to him . He could not do other but sympathise with her ; and the cold street is but a sorry place for sympathy , so they wi thdrew for solace to a publichouse , and found it ' in sundry glasses of brandy and water . Her agitatioi \ , however , would not be scared , it lasted for h ours , raid often the small hours of early morn were repeated , by the adjacent clocks before they wended their way *« Bolton-street . John Smith was at length permitt < , d to call at Bolton-street , and the prisoner , John JJaniells , waa introduced to him as her brother-in-law , " Mr . Edmondson . At length John proposed marriage , and Elisabeth , with a coyness that increased her cb Arms , at first refused , then withdrew her
refusal , agam . Tefused , but ultimately she was induced to receive hi in , by his entreaties , as her accepted suitor . The loting "but careful John , fearful that h © had misunderstood the exact amount of her wealth , copied into his pocke * -book verbatim , from her own lips , the rich mine of gold she disclosed , and then , not liking to let the lady be all in the ascendant , he held out bright prospects of what he was to be some day when he exchanged the title of plain John Smith for the more euphonious ene of Sir John . Time progressed , and the day of marriage drew near . Five different times did they attempt to be married , but some unforseen cause intervened to prevent it Four times the lady , perhaps from qualms of conscience , withdrew from the church , and once , in this instance , the careful Smith proposed , when standing at the altar for the ceremony to be
performed , that as Elizabeth had not got on the flttiDg garments of a bride , the ceremony should be deferred . ItBeemed he was disappointed she was so rudely clad . In one of . their moonlight walks Bhe had told him she was engaged to a- Mr . Lee , and he had fallen on his knees beseeching her to discard her intended Lee and cling to him for life . She , while consenting , coinuunicated that the bridal garb had beeu prepared , and he at least expected she would have appeared in the sime gear as was destined for her marriage with the slighted Lee . At last , on the 8 tu December , they were married , John Smith having in vain attempted to borrow £ 5 from a friend , saying that if he did not get it he should lose \ £ 3 . to » , for he was going to be married to a rich widow . Lodgings were afterwards taken by him
in Oxford-street Thither he removed his blushing bride , and in the joyousness of his heart , told a friend he was a happy married man . It seemed , but the happy John was a stranger to it , that before the ceremony Elizabeth had taken lodgings for her husband , saying that he was a pensioner , whom she must provide for , and she was afterwards in the habit of paying his rent every Saturday and carrying him his Sunday ' s dinner . On the morning of the marriage , the prisoner , John Daniells , came to the house in Oxford street , and asked the prosecutor if they were really married . He seemed very much agitated , and upon John Smith spying how do you d * f Mr . Edmondson replied "My name is not EdmomlBon . " He then immediately left the house , before the astonished Smith bad time to ask
"Him who he was and whenco he came , His local habitation and his name . " The happiness of a mingled being was to John Smith uninterrupted for nearly three niwiths ; but love is blind , and John must have been very blind or he would have had some suspicions , but he had not , until at length his brother . Frederick Smith , whose " nous " was greater than his luckless brother , and who knew the real John Ettmondson , the brother-in-law of Eiizabeth , had some doubts that all was not right . Peor Joan ' s vision of happiness was then dissipated by the discovery that the assumed Edmondson was no other than the husband of his bride , and that the £ 85 per annum , the £ 300 in expectancy , and the wedding clothes , were all moonshine , a mere web of fiction , which a very designing and cunning woman bod wove . The prisoners were then apprehended .
It appeared that John Daniells , although he had represented himself as Edmondson , had not incited to tbe marriage , but , on the contrary , had written a note to his wife while she stood at the altar , in these words" Be careful , Elizabeth , what you are about ; the man is mad -, " and had also represented to the clergyman that she was the wife ef a sea captain , and was not certain that he was dead . Mr . Mvr addressed the Jury for the female prisoner , and urged that the case was a fit illustration of the biter being bit—the duper duped . John Smith was a mere fortune-hunter , going about to see what
widows he could devour . The £ 85 a year was the " El Dorado" ot bis ambition !; and for that ha slobbered his kisses and his solace on the object of bis professions , who was very much like Mr . O'Connell , in a constant state of " agitation . " It'was clear that he intended only to get her money . He did not care who or what she was , and that she had been coerced by her husband to practise the deceit she did , in order that he might live by her prostitution , and that her only desire , degraded as she was , was to administer to his comforts and supply his wants in the pressing hour of distress and poverty .
Mr . Wilkins addressed the jury for the male prisoner , and submitted that ibis case was a picture of " Celebs in search of a wife . " His learned Friend , Mr . Murphy , might have carried the allusion further in respect of the agitation of Mr . O'Connell , by saying that it waa all for the " rint and nothing but tbe rint " He did not for a moment mean to uphold the disgraceful and disgusting conduct the male prisoner had pursued ; but he submitted that the evidence negatived the idea that he had been at all instrumental in counselling or promoting the second marriage . His Lordsiiip having summed up , The Jury Acquitted John D < uiiells , and found Eliza beth Daniells Guilty .
Mr . Justice MaUle , in passing sentence , said—Elizabeth Daniells , you have been convicted , on the very clearest evidence of bigamy , an offence which interferes with the security of the institution of marriage , which is the foundation of all civil society , and in this country subjects the party guilty of it to transportation , or imprisonment , according to the circumstances of the case . Yours is a peculiar case . It is stripped of some circumstances which are an aggravation of the crime . You seam not to have done any ser ious injury to your first husband , because although I think he may not have consented to your second marriage , yet be consented to what must be quite as
painful to any husband who possessed proper feelings—I mean your intercourse with other persons . I do not think , therefore , you inflicted any serious injury on hia feelings with respect to John Smith , a strange sort of peraon easily deceived by the arts you so successfully applied . I do not know that any great suffering has been inflicted on him either . Still a violation of the sacred ordinances of the church , and a trifling with the rite of matrimony , is not to be permitted ; bat , at at the same time , taking all the circumstances into consideration , I amn « t disposed to sentence you to anything more than the lightest punishment , and that is six calendar months imprisonment The trial excited much interest , and happily savours much more of romance than reality .
