' Mr- ilsxtin \ ras unanimously appointed chainasn . Be briefly adverted to the important business , whiea had called them together ; and eoneluded by calling open Mr . Brown , secretary , to read the minutes of the former meeting . After the
secretary had read , the minutes , be recommended the propriety of mil the co&rtists in Crlasfow , and its suburban districts to pnt themselves in possession of a ticket , Bows thousands of which were in the hands of Mr . Walker , sub-treasurer . The ticket itself -was a splendid « pedm « n of art ; on the right hand stood the goddess of of liberty , with a wreath of laurel in the one hand , and in th . 3 othsr a spear bearing a cap of liberty on its point ; ob the left hand vras blind justice holding the scales in the one band , and the sword of justice in the other ; on the four comers of the card vras Annual Parliaments , Tote by Bailat , No Property Qualification , and Payment of Members ; and in the centre Universal Suffrage Mr . Wright thought that the best mode of proceuure -would be to ascertain from tbs
various committees , belonging to tbe different districts now present , wiiat was their preseut situation , and ¦ what quantity of tickets they -would require . After some discussion on the tickets and articles of the association , in -which Messrs . Calquhocn , Pinkerton , Malcolm , and others took part , Mr . Ross rose and remarked thai a period "sraa fast approaching "When they would require all the pecuniary means they could possess , and all the influence they could procure , -when a stronger mnioa , w » d , if possible , still more determined in their porposes than has yet been , would require to be organised without the least possible delay , and the best way to know their strength , way by tbe number of persons holdiag tickets and becoming regular paying members . Mi . Koss , before sotting do-wn , stated that
one of their old dxreetozs , who had gone to America , and tr&o snalterc mi present eo sozae private business , farsa glowing description of tbe deasoeratic institu tions of tint Repabtie , and-declared that be never again would live under KonarehT . iCheers . ) Mr . Olquhoan thought that they « hould pay particular attention to what had fallen from Mr . Boss , that the time might soon arrive whea they -would bare to change theii rales , their tickets , and their ttftt ** - H * . M ' -Farlane foiiow&t , and afvet delivering in eteqaeat address , in which ha took a view of our present and fatare prospect * , eoneladad by moving that it be recommended in the three Chartist ehercbes of Glasgow , in the

and Tories - « as hinted » t , and a collision ministry likely to be tbe couseqoenoe of this deceitful alliance , heats the Chartists will likely becorae tt > o first objects of attack ; evtry man will require to be at his post of duty and his watchword "tho Chartu &nd no surrender . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . MTarlnnc ' i proposition was then put from tire chair aad unanimously adopted . A gentleman present alhrded to Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Glasgow ThEa Mr . Catten again rose and raid be believed that Mr . O'Connor ' s reception is Glasgow , notwithstanding the unfavosnble season of the year , would be equal , nay , superior to the reception of Collins , White , and H'DoosJl . He remarked that the large Hall now built at the Basw , and which would be finished by the time Mr . O'Connor would be hew , could be procured for
a soiree in the eveniDg of the day he made hiB public entry into our city . It wonld contain he believed about four thousand persons ; ia the meantime it was our duty while preparing for the reception of our friends , to be ready to repel despotism in whatever sbapoand from whatever qnarter it may come . < Cheers . ) It was then moved and seconded that lecturers be appointed to give a short lecture weekly in St . Ann ' s Church , after which a discussion on the subject of the lecture to take place ; the said lecturers to be at the service of the districts , villages , and towns , that may choose to -send for them , providing time and circumstances will permit . The proposition was unanimously adopted ,
after which the following list of lectarers was appointed namely : —Messrs . Giliespie , Tait , M'Ewing , Rodger , Jack , Murchie , M'Kay , Hoey , Kidd , M'Crae , Hamilton , 11 'Gaveney , Prondfoot , Murray , Dcoelly , Roy , Co ! quhoun , M'Farlanc , Pattison , -Gardner , Malcolm , Thomson , Cullen , iluiriiead , Moir , Thomasson , M'Cartney , Rtas , W .

Toll Gross . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Toll Cross was held in Ashworth ' s Hall , on the 24 th inst ., at seven o ' clock p m . Mr . Clell&nd was unanimously appointed to the chair , who opened the business of the meeting in a neat speech , and concluded by introducing Mr . Malcolm , from Glasgow , who delivered in his usual able manner , a very effective speech , which called forth repeated plaudits from the crowded meeting . He was followed by Mr . Crown in a speech of great eloquence and astounding facts . He reviewed the pharssaical conduct of the clergy , pointtd out the enormons experce of Church and State . He alluded to the pension of the Queen Dowager , which would give fifty pounds per year to two thousand families , which was about the population of Toll Cross , and showed the absurdity of one useless foreign female swallowing up what would make the whole of the virtuous and
industrious inhabitants of that village comfortable and happy . He then advocated , in a clear and forcible manner , the right of erery man of twenty-one years of age to have a voice in making the laws which he was compelled to obey . Mr . Brown was repeatedly cheered during the course of his address . Mr . Muirhead next spoke on the hypocrisy and injustice of those who said the people were not sufficiently intelligent to be put in possession of the franchise . He sat down amid cheering ; it was then agreed that they would nse every means -which God and nature had given them for the purpose of carrying into law the virruous principles of the People ' s Charter . Three tremendous cheers were then given for Feargus O'Connor , three for the exiled and other incarcerated Chartists , and three for the Charter , and a vote of thanks to the chairman , when the meeting broke up , high in spirit and firm in purpose .

Smith , Newmarket ; and that : Messrs . Maugham and Fainlongh , see that the boxes i be left in the above places . " " That in consequence of the disgusting treachery of that infamous renegade , ! John Collins , of Birmingham , the Chartists of Jfew-, castle , consider that his portrait iglrea with the Siari * ia not worthy of roem in the house of any honest i Chartist , and that John Collins and Arthur O'Neil , are fcoth enemies to British liberty , and should be dei nounced by every Chartist in Great Britain . " "That !• a special meeting of the Chartists , and all friendly t thereto , take place in the Chartist-room , ChanceHor ' si Head Yard , on Monday evening next , at eight o ' clock , i to Uke immediate steps for tbe better organization of j Newcastle and surrounding district .
I Mb- Maso . v addressed a public meeting in the Spit-| tie , on Wednesday evening , on the cause of the prei sent distress and its only remedy . It was the best | meeting we have had in Newcastle for a long time . TVe j think there eon ' . d not be less than 3 , 008 . A great m ' . ny | middle-class men were there ; likewise sevpral blue devils in disguise . Mr . Mason went to show that It was not owing to the Corn Laws , ( as the "Whigs ! say , ) because he showed that there was a greater quan-! tity ef wealth produced last year , than had been for any ! previous year—that the market was perfectly glutted , j and that the best remedy he knew was to get a law j passed to protect labour and shorten its bouts daily , as
( the landholders got the Corn Laws to enhance tbe i value of their property . Mr . Mason spoke for nearly I two hours , and was cheered thronghont After Mr . j Mason had done , Mr . Matthew Robson was called to i the chair , when Mr . Crotber moved , and Mr . Sinclair ! seconded the following resolution , which was carried < unanimously , viz : — "That in the opinion of this meet-! ing , nothing short of a full and fair representation in i the State is calculated to remove that misery so very i prevalent amongst the unprotected millions , this meetj ing , therefore , pledges itself to unite -Rith the j National Charter Association of Great Britain i forthwith , and by their united energies , ba enabled to demand those rights , to which they are entitled by the
! law of God and of common humanity . " Three cheers | were then given for Mr . O'Brien , M . P . ; three cheers I for Mr . O'Connor , and all tlie Whig victims , and three ! cheers for the People's Charter . A vote of thanks -sras | carried for Mr . JIason , and the meeting separated j shortly after ten o ' clock . ! BIRMINGHAM . — Chartist Meetisg . —A pub-: lie meeting was held at the Railway Station , Duddes-; ton Row , on Monday evening hist Mr . George White I addressed them at great length . He said that in a short time the real enemies ol the people would take i the reins of Government into their possession , and that it would then be seen whether the Chartists were lovers of Tory oppression and robbery . The Wlsigs had j blamed them far allowing so many Tories to be returned
j at the late election , and now that they were about to i be driven from the sweets of effice , they were loud in ! their complaints agaicst the Chartists . There was some-: thisg " passing strange" in Whig doctrines ; for , pie-¦ vious to tbe late elections , tbe Whigs declared that the ; Chartists had no power , and "wers a mere fraction of ' the community ; but , after they are orer , they admit i them to be the most powerful body in the Btate . He ! maintained that the Wiigs and their supperters were the only parties to whom blame ought to attach for ! the position which the Tories occupied . Had not ; the people carried tbe Reform Bill , and placed i the WhigB in power , with an overwhelming i majority in the Eonse of Commons ? Had they 1 not given the "Whigs a trial for ten years ?
! Had they not allowed their former majority ! to dwindle away , fey their time-serving and hypocritical i acts , and converted the very name cf liberty iuto an I unmeaning mockery , and disgusted every real reformer : in the country ? For t&ese reasons he waB glad that i they were out of office , and that the open and avowed ; enemies of the people were about taking their places . ' The Whigs and ruiedle c ' asseB had now learned an important ks = on , namely , that they could not hold : power w ' thoat . the assistance of the working classes . The Chiitists had at last attained their proper position , 1 and had Euriu&unted the opposition of the hired press i of their opponents , and had triumphantly braved the i hostility of the wealthy Tory and griping Whig . They ! now constituted the real movement party , because when
i the Whigs ceased to hold office , they were completely powerless , for the Chartists had got public opinion in ! their favour , and could carry a resolution in favour of ! their principles at all public meetings , in opposition to ; the crotchets put forward by the people ' s pretended i friends . The working men should therefore be deter-I mined not to be C 3 joled by any promises that might in . ¦ future be made . They had been once deceived , let ; them not fall again into the same trap . He advised j them to organise , and prepare themselves for the I sophistry of the Whigs , and be determined to have ] nothing less than the Charter . After dwelling on a i variety ef other topics , he concluded by calling on t them to join the National Charter Association . Notice ! was tben given that the meeticg In future would be ; held on Tuesday .
j Repeal of the U 5 ion !—A meeting took place at Mr . Gateley ' s , in Old Meeting-street , on Sunday even-: ing last , for the purpose of assisting to forward the ; above orgect Tie large room was completely filled | with a respectable body of English and Irishmen .

and had vindicated their principles in a « tralghtfotwar manner . He declared himself to be a Repealor , and was determined to address a public meeting on the subject , and hoped , erelong , to sea the men of England and Iraland united for a Repeal of the Union , aud the People's Charter , and by acting cordially together they might defy the united power of Whigs and Tories . He described the sufferings of the Irish nation , and hoped ttiat the prejudice of c&untry or religion ¦ would , not be allowed to stand in the way of the cordial union of th « lovers of liberty in both countries Messrs . Green , Wilkinson , and several others addressed the meeting on the necessity of establishing a good understanding between tbe English Chartists aud Irish Repealers . Several intelligent Irishmen declared their admiration of Chartist principles , and after a vote of thanks had been passed to the chairman , the meeting seprrated on the best possible terms , both parties wishing each other success .

BRADFORD . —We have had the Rev . Mr . Jackson lecturing here last week to crowded audiences . He hafl made a powerful impression on the minds of the people . The good he has done is likely to be lasting , for his lectures are yet tbe topic of conversation . At the close of his last lecture on Thursday the 22 d , Mr . O'Connor ' s motion was seconded by Mr . Shepherd , of Horton , and carried unanimously ; after which , the Cbairman , Mr . Win . Martin , put it to the ladies , a great many of whom were present , whether they would meet on Saturday evening , at the chapel , Longcroft-place , for the purpose of forming an Association , to aid their fathers , brothers , and husbands iu the struggle for the Charter . Every one ef the patriotic damsels held up her hands amidst loud cheers from the fustian jackets . True to their
pledge , they assembled at the appointed hour on Saturday evening , but a Whig fellow , who held the key , ( though Mr . Alderson pays rent for the Saturday as well as Sunday ) refused to admit them . But , notwithstanding the disappointment in having the gospel shop closed against them , the fair ladies were not to be deterred in the course which they meant to pursue , for they adjourned ta the Three Pigeons , in the ssme neighbourhood . Mrs . Smith having been voted to the chair , they proceeded to appoint a committee , after which , the following resolution was put and carried , all hamts being held up for it : " That a subscription be made every week for the purpose of defraying the expences of

VifB . —The Chartists of this town held their weekly meeting on Sunday last , Mr .
Wilson in the chair , when the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the conduct of Messrs . Arthur O'Neil and John Collins , at the late anti-Corn Law meeting in Birmingham , is highly censurable , and proves them to be unworthy of the corfilence of every true Chartist . " After the other necessary business of the Association had been dispensed with , the members agreed to give a treat to the inhabitants of Hyde , by performing in the Working Man ' s Institution of that place , in full uniform , the trial of Robert Emrnett , Esq ., the Irish patriot , who was executed In 1803 .
CAMSERVTELI . AND WALWORTH . —At the weekly meeting of Coartists held last night , at the Horse and Crown , a circular from the- Middlesex County Council was read , and the meeting much delighted with its contents . The discussion of the circnlar was adjourned till next Monday evening . An instructive and and animated discussion then took place upon the folio-wing resolution : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting to deny the right of the franchise to any man who has not forfeited it by crime is tyranny—that any man who does so i 3 unfit for the office of Legislator , and unworthy the name of Liberal . ' That the Whigs , by their Coercion Bills—their accursed Poor Law Cruelty Bill—their mean and unmanly persecution of every honest man who had the courage to denounce their tyranny and injustice—have proved themselves equal to the Tories in everything that is oppressive , tyrannical , and despotic—their transporting the noble-minded Frost and his
companions , after the majority of the Judges had declared their conviction to be illegal , and their continuing to keep those men in exile after the House of Lords had ( for Lord Melbourne and the whole of the Judges were there ) by the acquittal of " Cardigan , " virtually declared they ought to have been acquitted—proves them to be destitute of every principle of justice , as they are evidently dead to every feeling of humanity . Therefore , we consider it to be the duty of every Chartist—of every honest man—of every l * ver of liberty and his country—to endeavour , by all and 6 very means in bis power , ( constitutionally ) to annihilate both factions—and use their btst exertions at the ntxt elections , to get honest men returned to Parliament , that will give us the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter . "—Carried . Our numbers are increasing , and the principles of Chartism is gaining ground . The middle class gentlemen are be ginning to see that Chartism is not so frightful as they were led to believe .

In ft Homing Chrordde , some time ago , the Chartiste w « . held up as fools and feloekheads because they wodd not "take cheap bread when it was offered them . ( Lmgbtsr . ) But hi an article in tiixt same paper , now that tbe result of the elections ¦ are known , it goes on to state that the Chartists were right after all , as it is Tain to thitk of a repeal of the Corn Laws , with the present state ef the representation . ( Cheers . ) He then cut up , in detail , the csnduct of the dissenting clergy relative to the agitation for the Cora Laws . Will tkey ( said he ) never tire of playing the infamous and enchristian gome of chicanery and humbeg ? As for his part , until they acted more in accordance with tiierr sacred duties , he weuld never
look at 4 > ne of their face * in their own pulpita . ( Tre--snendoas cheering . } He then referred to those who professed to be advocates for Universal ScSrage , but when they found out that the pecpla were in earnest , snd a prospect of obtaining it , they turned their backs like Old Glory , Sir Francis Burdett ( Cheers . ! A ¦ voice from Mi . Sioir's left , " OrlikeDia , with Repeal- " ( Great cheering . ) Yes ( said Mr . Moir ) my old friend en my left reminds me of Dan . He then went on to show off Dan in his true colours , and poicted oat , -with great humour , the physical-force position he had taken wp to his recent contests in Ireland , amid great cheering and laughter . After going on some ti » e longer on various topics , he concluded by strongly impressing zrpon thtir minds the necessity of adhering tenaciously
to the principles of the Charter . The Whigs would try to lead them away on some other track , but do not believe them , for they lie like the Devil himself . What ever party made the Charter their principle of moveanent , lie would baci them out ; fox when every man T >«» a vate there is no danger , as each caa then watch his neighbour . He then sat down amid tumultuous cheering ; after which several songs were snog in excellent style . *• O'Connor ' s Child and the Sister ' s Curse" was recited by Mia Aitken , in such a feeling and effective manner , that the tears trickled over many a fair and lovely as well as minly cheek . Tbe Chairman then introaaced Mr . M-Crae , ef Kilbarehan , and M , P . for Greenock , xpho -vras loudly cheered -when he made his appearance on the front of the plaifoim . He began by
remarking that what he wanted in wealth he had endeavoured to make it up by energy , and any deficiency cf talent by unremitting zeaL ( Cheers . "When be read of tie deeds of a Wallace asd a Tall , he was inspired with the principles of liberty—principles -which vrould never be eradicated from his breast while life's Ja » p continued to bum . f-Great cheering . ) He then drew a melan-« hoiy picture of the state of the country and its trade , while the rich were living in luxury and dissipation , and the poor in misery and want . Ho then Jet drive at the clergy , who , he said , wished to starve us here , in order to give us a keener relish for spiritual food heraafter . { La&gble ? sad cheers . ) A goc-d deal bad lately been said about the want of intellectual and moral
fitness of tbe people for the franchise , was George III . fitted by the grace of God to be a king ?—( no , no , )—• was the Duke of York a moral man?—( ne , no , )—and yet he was Commander of the Force * , and the companion of bishops and strumpets . ( Cheers . ) Was George IV . a moral man—( no , no )—who was issuing the one day from the dens of infamy and vice , and the next riding down to the House of Commons , surrounded bj all the panoply of royalty , to read a rigmarole piece of nonsense called a King ' s speech , with a recoianaen dation to the bloated Bishops of the House of . Lords to set apart a day for fasting and humiliation for the sins at the people . iGreat laughter . ) He then alluded to the charge brought against the Chartists for sowing discontent among the people , which he said was
impossible , as aU classes were discontented : the Whigs ^ re re so because the Tories had defeated them ; the Clergy of the Church of Scotland was dissatisfied with the Court of Session ; Dan O'Connell , because he had been kicked out of Dublin , and because the " rint" was not coming in and the people were dissatisfied with the whale system . ( Cheers . ) He then referred to the triumphs of the Chartists at the nominations in Glasgow , Paisley , and Greenock , and concluded by a powerful and poetic peroration . " I sometimes ( said hei thinfc that the Tories will rew their bloody gibbets . , and let loose their dop of war upon the friends of freedom ; but then again , his better vision showed that day goae by ; that he saw , if such should be attempted , the Goddess of Liberty descending upon the earth , and
standing upon the tombs of the martyrs of liberty , and with a voice louder than ten thousand thunders , calling to the mighty millions , from Newhall-hUl to the heathdad . TBwgnbwna of Scotland , to arise , anl with their giant strength , crush for ever the demon of despotism ; for so sure as we stand steadfast to our principles , so sure will the God of Heaven assist us , and the day will cot-be far distant when Britons must , shall , and will be free . " ( Load , lang , and enthusiastic cheering . ) After several songs had been sung , Mr . Pallison made-his Mppestaaoe . He cixied that iie had jost arrived from Ayrshire , where he and Masa * . Rodger , M'Farlane , Bad Thomson had gone oa a pleasure trip to view its -classic streams , green hiil 3 , and romantic valleys , and pay a tribute to the birth-place of Burns . They had , also , while there , attended , by solicitation , large and enthusiastic meetings in SaJcoais , Irricfi , Ayr , and Maybole , "which he described in his nscal warm and
talented manner . He hod also to make an excuse for Mr . il * Fjrlane not being present , as he ira $ BO fatigued that hs had to go home immediately , upon bis arrival in eonseqaene * of taa heavy rain that hid falien from tiie time they had left Ayr in the morning for Maybole , and home again to Glasgow . He was also sony thai he bad to take an excuse for Mr . Cullen , in consequence of fatal accident which had befailen a near relative of bis , who had also gone on a pleasure trip in all the pride of youth and manhood , and while bathing in the bay of Irvine , sank beneath the wave , and feas noi since be * o seen . ( Sensation . ) Jlr . P . then delivered a short appeal npen the necessity of laying aside all their crotchets , and uniting in one common phalanx against the common enemy , and concluded by reading a poetic effusion which they had composed at the raocumsnt of Burns , amid great cheering . He then , retired , after reciting—«
Corns let us pray that come it nay , And come it shall fsr a' that , "When man and man the world o ' er , 3 haH brothers be , and a' that . "' After several songs had been sung , and recitations delivered , the company broke up , at a late hour .
