Arnold , ( Near Nottingham ) Mr . Dean Taylor has delivered three lectures at this village -frith excellent effect , to crowded audiences , the chapel being capable of holding upwards" of four hundred . Chartism is tteadily progressing here , though the poor are severely feeling the pressure of the timea . The population are principally framework knitters , and the average earnings of those in employ do not exceed six shillings per week , whilst scores are altogether unemployed . The misery and privation are consequently severe ; but , nevertheless , they are determined never to cease their agitation until they get the Charter , when they will be in a condition to benefit themselves .

MANCHESTER , —PCLIC MEETING I > ' CiRPEXtebs" HiLL—Placards irere issued , on Saturday last , convening a meeting , to be held on Tuesday evening , in which it was announced that Mr . Philp , Dr . P . M . H'Douall , and others , would be present to address the people . In accordance wivh the above notice , the capacious Hall , which , is capable of holding three thousand people , was we ' . l filled . At eight o'clock the two gentlemen entered , and ¦ were receiTed "srith thunders of applause ; after it had subsided , Mr . James Stanfisld , a sound Chartist , of Salford , was called to the cfaair , who , without farther ceremeay , said , it was ¦ with feelings of pleasure that he had the honour of calling upon Mr . PhiJp , of Bath . Mr . Philp , on coming forward , was greeted with rapturous cheers , which
were repeated again and again . He said it gave him TTiTn-Vt pleasure , after twelre months * absence from thea , to have another opportunity cl addressing such a numerous meeting as -was there assembled . It . was a sure indication that , notwithstanding all the prosecutions "which had been practised by the Whigs upon the Chartist leaders , and the predictions that they "were effectually put down , that , instead of Chartism being exterminated , il had risen to more active life . The rpeater ¦ went on to say , that no power -was sufficient to Stifle truth , or prevent the Charter from becoming the law of the land . He took a re { respective view of the history of the Chartist agitation , dealing some heavy blows at the defunct Whigs ; ably defending the principlea and daias of the Chartists ; showing the triumphant
position in "whidi they stood , and giving it as his pinion that there never was a crisis -when the people bad more reason to take courage , and proceed in their straggle for liberty . The speaker was repeatedly interrupted -with the plaudits of the assembly , and when he retired , the cheering was vociferous . The Chairman then introduced Dr . P . M . M'Douall . The Doctor entered into a full explanation of his procedings in tie Convention , which , he said , according to the rules of the Charter , it was his duty to do , and to ascertain whether his constituents agreed wita his conduct while a member of that "body . He gave a stimulating account of the result of the late election , and elicited great applause while expatiating upon fallen Whiggery . He then gave his opinion as te
bow the people would very soon serve the Tones ; that the Tories thought thsy were making tools of the Chartists ; but the fiCt was , the Chartists had made tools of them , in order to destroy one faction first . The Doctor then gave an explanation as to how the Executive were aboat to proceed , and strongly urged the people to be at theii post—likewise of the Convention , which will Bit in London en the * th of . February . The I > octor was loudly cheered throughout . Mr . John Campbell "sras next called upon . He would just say that there were already one hunder « l and sixty towns enrolled in the Asseciation , and by the perseverance of the Executive , aided by the people , there would shortly not be a town , either in England or Wales , but would be enrolled ; and , at the next
Con-Tention , they would have no less than three millions of signatures to a petition f er the Charter . The ExecutiTe ¦ were going to di-rifie tbemselTes and go into tbe several counties , and meet again in Birmingham , after that dissolve , and go through the country again , and meet at Bristol ; separate again for another six weeks ^ aiid then meet in London . The Rev . W . T . Jackson was called upon to moTe a resolution . The Rev . Gentleman made a short but moving address npon the fallen Whigs and the people ' s prospect of success . He then read the following resoluuon , wfrch ws 3 seconded , and carried amidst loud cheers : — " That this meeting having viewed the conduct of Dr . M-Douall , the representative of the working men of Manchester , in the kite Convention , are perfectly satisfied with him , and hereby tendtr biro a vote of thanks for the past and a vote of confidence for the future . " Mr . Bailey moved the second resolution , which was also carried unanimously
That this meeting , believing as they do that the principles of the Charter are based on the rock of truth and justice , pledge themselves never to rest satisfied till those principles become the law of the land ; and farther , that this meeting , Beeing that the Executive Council is now in fall and efficient operation , believe , that it will be the means , under God " s blessing , of forwarding the cause of the -whole people , " Mr . Littler moved and Mr . Bankin seconded tbe foilo-wing resolution , which was carried hy acclamation : — " That this meeting place their confidence in the Executive Council , and pledge themselves , as far as possible , to render them that support and assistance which may be necessary . "The thanks of the meeting were also given to Mr . Philp and to the ChsinnaB , to which each of them responded . Cheers wer * given for F . O'Connor , O'Brien , Trost , Williams , and Jones , and the rest of the prisoners , and the meeting sepaiated .
DUBLIN . The Irish Universal Suffrage Association of this place held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday , the 1 st instant , Mr . Norton in the chair . Mr . BaoPHT , the Secretary , read tha Object 3 and Rules of the Association , after which he spuke at considerable length on the importance of Universal Suffrage . Mr . O'Co . n > "ELL ; not Dan ; said that he had been for the last eleven years watching the conduct of the Irish agitators , who , he said , might be very honest , but their conduct looted very suspicious , for he bad Been them , whtn opportunity offered , desert the eause ^ of the people and accept tffi . ee for » ome paltry consideration . that in strict accord
Mr . O'Biggi . ns rose and said , ance with one of the rules of the Association it was necessary to £ , ive one week ' s notice prior to the admission of a member ; and although this rule was a very salutary sue , and one which it it had no other eftct than that of guarding the Association against the introduction of improper persons , and of affording an opportunity to the members to make seme enquiry respecting the characters ef those who were to be proposed ; yet in Borne cases this rule might not only be relaxed , but wholly dispensed - with , and that too with infinite advantage to the Association itself . It ocenrred to him that th « rule requiring a wests notice , did not spply in a case where a clegyman was to be proposed . This beiDg the case , he felt highly honoured indeed , for the opportunity which was afforded him to propose , as a member of the Universal Suffrage Association , a parish priest of the discess ef Dublin . ( Hear , hear , and great cheering . ) He was proud , and he knew of . no ™«« who would not be proud of being ac-

knowledged as the personal friend of the pious , exemplary , and benevolent clergyman , whom he should propose for admission as a member of their association ; but before he would announea his name , he trusted that the chairman and the meeting would permit him to communicate to them some of the reasons why the respected and venerated gentleman wished to j > in their ranks . About 20 years ago , this clergyman was selected to go on the mission to England , and the first place in which he settled was in the town of Bradford , where he found the Roman Catholics as mere wanderers , without any fixed place , not even a shed , in which they could worship the Almighty author of their being , the Great Creator , according to the dictates of their conscience ; and where it is to be
feared that in many cases they were left , in the last extremity , wholly destitute of the consolations ef religion . Shortly after his arrival in Bradford , a Committee was formed , for the purpose of procuring a room , or some other apartment , in which the priest could celebrate mass on Sundays ; but no place could be obtained for such a purpose , except the tap-room of a public-house , and even here , prejudice ran bo high amongst the higher orders of society , that the owner of the public-house threatened to turn out the occupant and have the license withdrawn , if the priest should be allowed to say mass there any longer . The Committee subsequently entered into an agreement with a widow lady for apartments in a house belonging to her ; but as she was only a
tenant-atwill , like most of the tenants m England , the owner of the property threatened to turn her out if she would afford any accommodation to the priest Although the Committee might have enforced their agreement , yet , by the directions of this amiable and kind hearted priest they relinquished their rights , sooner than have it said that they were the means of bringing a widow into collision with her besotted landlord . The Catholics of Bradford and the Irish Catholic Priest being thus circumstanced , had no other alternative than that cf having mass said either in the open streets or in the fields . While they were in this predicament , looking around for some place or other before the next Sunday , they were waited upon by a carpenter and builder of Bradford , who had heard of the persecution of the Catholic
Priest and his followers , and who told them that he had a large workshop in which his men were employed dnring the week ; that this shop should be cleared out and fitted up for them every Saturday evening ; that they should have the use of it every Sunday until they conld get a more commodious building ; that he bated persecution of every sort , whether civil or religious ; that , although he knew that the Irish Catholic Priest was going to introduce a new religion amongst them , or rather to revive an old one , he and all his political associatts would render him every assistance in their power ; that iie was a Radical Reformer ; and that he and those who agreed with him in political opinion were injured in their business , and vilified and traduced by tho enemies of
public liberty ; that he had always petitioned Parliament in favour Catholic emancipation ; that he was a disciple of Wm . Cobbett ; and that the priest and his little fiock -would find staunch , ancl unflinching friends and supporters in ail those who were guided by the political opinions of that great and good man ; and said , he , " the only Ttturn which I take leave to ask for this little service which I now tender to you is , that you will be so good as to read Mr . Cobbett ' s writings , and , if you become a convert to or fully approve of his political opinions , that you will ass ' iBt the Radical Reformers in seeking for their just rights . " To this reasonable proposition , the priest assented , and in a very short time he discovered that the Radical Reformers Were not the rascals , the levellers , the torch and dagger men , which the enemies of public liberty both Whig
and Tory represented them to be ; but the very reverse , the friends and advocates of peace , law , and order , and of civil and religious liberty . Those very men who aided and assisted the Irish Catholic Priest in Bradford twenty years ago , are the strenuous advocates of the People ' s Charter of the present day , and how truly gratifying it must be to them , and what unalloyed joy and delight it must bring to the heart of the Carpenter of Bradford and his Radical friends , when they see that their old friend and companion , the Reverend Patrick Ryan , parish priest of Donahate , joined the ranks of their friends here by btconiing a member of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . iTremendous cheering . / air . O'Higgins concluded fey proposing " That the Reverend Patrick Ryan , parish priest of Donahate , be admitted a member . "
The preposition of Mr . O'Higgins was seconded in an effective speech by Mr . Wood , which was succeeded by the admission of Father Ryan . ThTee cheers were ' given for the Carpenter of Bradford and his Radical i friends , and three cheers for the Charter , and the . metting broke up .. The fallowing are the objects and rules of the associa- ' tion , as read by Mr . Brophy : — j
objects . ; I . —To create a bttu-r feeling and a more kindly in- ; terchange cf good actions between landlord and tenant , j between the farmer and labour ** , ami between the em- < ployer and his working men , in every state and grade of ; society , by BeekiDg by every lawful and constitutional means for Universal Suffrage : that is to say , for every male inhabitant of Great Britain and Ireiand , of ; sane mind , and cot convicted by a jury of any felonious iff = Ece , to have the right to vote at the election of a j candidate for a seat in parliament ; the obvious effect , of which will be to cause ihe npper classes of society ' to set a higher value upon the labourer and the artizin than they have hitherto done ; and to consider the hap-, piness and comfort of the working classes as the surest j test of the landlord and the employer ' s respectability , j 31 . —Foe Vote by Ballot . j 111 . —For Annual Parliaments . i
IT . —For Equal Representation : that is to say , that Great Britain an . l Ireland shall be divided into eiectoriai districts , each district to contain au equal nu-nber of votes , and each to send an equal number of members to parliament .

VI . —For each constituency to have the right to pay their representatives for their time and servict s if they deem it necssary so to do .
TIL—Fora Repeal of the LegislaliyeUnion between Great Britain and Ireland , which cannot be achieved without the aid and co-operation of the English Chartists , by bringing their moral power to bear upon the five hundred and fifty-three British Merabtrs ef Parliament , in favour of that measure , and which ¦ would be of no benefit to Ireland , tinless preceded by Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation , and Xo Property Qualification -, and bt cause the enemies of public liberty would have a preponderating ma jority in both Houses of an Irish Parliament , with the present constituency of Ireitnd .

SUNI > EItI * AND . — -Trade Dispute . —Honourable Decision of the Magistrates . —It is go seldom that the poor obtain either law or justice from those whose duty it ia to administer it , that when an instance , an exception to the rule , does occur , it is Our duty to record it prominently , and award the honour that is due to those who have earned it . On Monday , John Rogers , and John Williams , two puddlers , or iron workerr , in the employment of the Bishop Wearaouth Iron Work ' s Company , were summoned by the company , before the borough magistrates , Sunderland , for leaving their employment without sufficient notice . Mr . Hay ton , solicitor , appeared for the company , and Mr . Cooper for the workmen . Mr . Hay ton
having stated the case , called upon Thos . Simpson , manager of the puddling works , in support of the charge . Simpson , upon being sworn , stated that the men came to work as usual on Friday night last , that he supplied them with the proper " heats" ( i technical term , meaning the proper quantity of iron , 4 cwt . ); but that the men expressed their belief that there was not the quantity stated , and as they would be liable to have their wages reduced , if they did not produco a sufficient quantity of work , they objected to work until the metal was weighed . It was weighed , and it was found short weight , except one heat , which was 61 bs . over ; but many heats were considerably less than the proper quantity . The men then refused to work , unless the deficiency
was supp ' ied ; he advised them to work until morning , ~ when all would be rectified ; they refused . Cross-examined by Mr . Cowper—Did not tell the menhe could not , ' and would not , rectify the deficiency . The quantity less would make the wages of the workmen sixpence or ninepence a day each less . By the magistrates— " Why did yo not let the men see the metal weighed before you gave it to them . " Answer— " They might see it if they thought proper . Did not turn any men off for producing short weight in their work , but for bad work . " An individual in the body of the court here exclaimed , " That ' s false . " The magistrates then desired the man to be brought forward . Simpson was ordered to stand down , and the man being brought before them , gave
his name John Callis . He was a workman in the Bisbopwearmouth iron works ; knew the facts of the present case ; the manager had stated a falsehood when he asserted the men were turned off for bad work There were men in the court who had been turned off without any notice merely because they did not produce a certain quantity of work , which was impossible , as they did not get the quantity of metal to do it ; he stated James Williams , a workman , would prove it . James Williams was then brought forward , and proved that he had been discharged , not for bad work , but for short weight in his work . He had no notioe given to him . Mr . Backhouse , one of the magistrates , observed that , in disputes between master and men , it was desirable to have , if
possible , a proper understanding established , and that could only be done by masters doing the men justice ; that it was very clear , in this case , the masters had been discharging the men without notice , and therefore had no moral right to come there , and charge the men with an offence which they , ( the masters , ) had first committed . H . Spon , Esq ., another of tee magistrates , also emphatically denounced the conduct of the masters ; he said that if the notice law was right for the masters , it could not be wrong for the men , and that it was clearly established by the witnesses brought forward by the masters that the men had
not been supplied with the requisite quantity of metal . On a consultation amongst the magistrates , Mr . Spon stated that the magistrates were of opinion that the present charge against the men should be dismissed , the masters paying the costs ; that the men who had been discharged without notice should have one fortnight ' s wages paid to them ; that in future a man should be appointed by the workmen ( but to be paid by tho masters ) to see the metal properly weighed . This arrangement was agreed to by the masters ; and the the men retired , rejoicing that there were administrators of the law willing and determined to do justice to all .
KEIGHLEY . —Easter Dues . —On Tuesday last , the rector of the parish , Mr . Busfield , commenced actual hostilities on his parishoners by issuing out summonses for Easter Dues . The persons singled out for this first assault of the church militant are Mr . David Weatherhead , Mr . William Rhodes , and Mr . Milligan , surgeon , the two first being incorrigible Chartists , and the last an obstinate dissenter . This singular claim made by the good man for the use of their own besoms ana chimneys has been treated b y the individuals in the manner it deserves , Mr . Weatherhead , on receiving his note of friendship , sticking it in his shop window fort public admiration . The great bulk of the parishioners declare their determination to set the claim at defiance , and appear inclined to let the parson pay himself in kettles , pots , and pans , rather than accommodate him with small coin . Should this hold good , the reverend gentleman will be enabled to set up business as a broker .
HUDDERSFIEIjD . —Magistrates'Office . — A person named William Murray was brought before the bench on Tuesday , charged with having cut and otherwise seriously injured Mr . Spivey , painter , &c , and with putting other indviduals in great bodily fear . It appears that Murray entered a butcher ' s shop , in Bradley-street , in a state of the most maddened excitement , from having drank too freely of ardent spirits ; ou entering , he exclaimed , " What are you going to do with me ! are you going to murder me V upon which he lifted the cleaver from the block , and drove the proprietor and his customers into the street . He followed them , and as Mr . Spivey was passing , ho received a blow from this dangerous instrument upon the arm , which cut him deep . The prisoner was committed to York , but from the influence of friends , and a general good character , he was bailed out in the afternoon .
Cricket Match . —A match between the Dalton and Leeds Victoria clubs came off at Hudder&field on Mouday and Tuesday last . The days were favourable and a great number of spectators thronged tho field . It was played at Dalton a quarter of a mile from tho town . The sport was n ' rstrato , each pereon exerting himself to the utmost . Dalton won with seven wickets to go down . The return match will be played during the next month . MANCHESTER . —The Petition Commiltee met on Sunday , when the following resolution was passed : —Moved by Mr . Gresty , seconded by Mr Davies , " That all persons holding books belonging to this committeo be requested to send them in before the 4 th of August , as the committee will meet that day to balance their accounts . "
PRESTON " . —On Saturday last , the following placard was extensively circulated through the town of Preston : — " Remedy for the National Distress and General Grievances . A public meeting will be held in Chadwick's Orchard , on Tuesday evening next , the 27 th July , instant , with a view of agreeing to some general and efficient remedy for the now prevailing and awfully increasing distress of the couatry ; and recommending the general countenance and support of such resolutions as the meeting may decide upon , and thus prevent division , that we may obtain relief , and the sooner put an end to want aud starvation , and the dread of what every good man must deplore—bloody revolution . As the meeting is intended to so discuss our
grievances , as to set the matter of remedy at rest , and attain one general and united support , it is hoped that every one will attend who can possibly do so ; and in order that full scope may be given to every speaker , the meeting will bo adjourned from time to time , till the public be put in full possession of tho remedies of the day . The chair to bo taken at eight o ' clock precisely . By order of the Preston Chartist Council , G . Halson , Secretary . " In consequence of this announcement , a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Preston took place at the time specified in the placard . Mr . R . Walton was unanimously ' called to the chair , who opened the business of the meeting by observing , that now was the proper time for those who had the least claim
to patriotism to step forward and elucidate their views to the meeting , in order that we might arrive at some conclusion to produce a universally beneficial change . Mr . E . Swindlehurst then came forward , and showed that the grievances complained of was in consequence of bad measures emanating from men incapable of understanding the real wants of the country . Mr . H . Oddleauni followed , and concluded his address by calling upon those who wished for the amelioration of their conntry to follow the excellent advice of Hercules to the waggoner , for " God helps those that help themselves . " Mr . G . Halton was of opinion that the time had gone by to amuse the country with empty professions , that a very great portion of the people of this country had
been taught wisdom by experience , and that if those classes of society who arrogated to themselves the right to govern by exclusivo privilege , did not speedly alter their course , anarchy and confusidn would be the inevitable consequence . As the evening was far advanced he thought it highly desirable that the meeting should adjourn to some future period , in order to give an opportunity to weigh well the matter in discussion , he would therefore move that the meeting do adjourn to Tuesday next . Mr . J . Murphy , in a brief speech , seconded the proposition , which was unanimously agreed to , and , after a rote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting broke up , apparently highly delighted with the proceedings .
BRADFORD , —Boy Missing . —Weunderstand that a boy . about thirteen years of age , son of Francis Mason , residing in Cannon-street , Bradford , has been missing since Wednesday afternoon last , and though every possible search has been made for him , he has not yet been found .

BUBBLE BANKS—EXTENSIVE FRAUDS
We copy from the Morning Post an account of the extensive frauds carried oa during a series of years by the Messrs . Wakefield , the Bubble Bankers , of Broad-street , London , whose capital , on commencing banking business , amounted to tho magnificent sum of [ fifteen hundred pounds !—" The case of the Wakefields , late of Broad-street , bankers and stockbrokers , as unfolded within the last day or two in the Court of Bankruptcy , has formed a very prominent topic of discussion among our commercial men . Educated at a school like tho Stock Exchange , it was not to be expected that the books of these persons would prove entirely free from items that might lead to an indulgence , on the part of the commissioner or the creditors , the reverse
of flattering to their feelings . The public appear , however , not to have been by any means prepared for the development of facts so perfectly damning to their reputation as men of business , as those which were brought to light upon the occasion ; for what has been tho conduct pursued by them for the last three-and-twenty years \ With a capital of £ 1 , 500 including the lease of the Broad-street premises , if such a sum is worthy to be called a capital , Messr ? . Wakefield have been receiving , as bankers , cash to an unlimited amount , partly in deposit , and partly for investment , as well as securities in trust , the whole of which they have , apparently without the smallest hesitation , appropriated to their own purposes as often as their shameful extravagance produced a necessity for supplies . Every species of
property confided to their eustody has been made away with , for all that remains out of nearly £ 100 , 0 G ( Ktho aggregate of their debts ) is a miserable sum of £ 5706 ( property , £ 4 , 951 , good debts , £ 755 , ) or say about one shilling in the pound , and , if the expenses be deducted , nothing like so much . The bankrupts state tho amount of their profits , since January , 1818 , to be £ 73 , 706 . From these we deduct tho sum put fdown for expences at £ 19 . 405 , and another sum or losses ( gambling losses on the Stock Exchange , of course , ) at £ 35 , 547 , which leaves a remainder of £ 18 , 754 to meet the expenditure of the two insolvents for the same period , amounting to £ 112 , 410 , the son having spent £ 37 , 256 , and the father the very modest amount of £ 75 , 154 ! or five thousand a year , of which four thousand was the money of other people , improperly converted to their personal
uses . " The elder Wakefield was a member of the Committee of the Stock Exchange , and Trustee and Treasurer of the Decayed Member ' s Fund . In the latter capacity he made free with Exchequer Bills to the extent of £ 4 , 000 belonging to superannuated jobbers , widows , and orphans , a sum which , however , it is likely his co 4 rustee may be called upon to make good , as in justice he ought to be . Ho is clearly liable , and can , we understand , well afford to pay .
" During the late examination at the Bankruptcy Court an officer holding a commission in the army presented himself . After many years ' service and severe economy , the veteran had , it seems , placed in the hands of the bankrupts stock he had acquired for £ 10 , 000 . They transferred it , made off with the proceeds , and he was thus robbed of every farthing he possessed . This we name as but one of the many miseries inflicted by the unprincipled conduct of parties engaged in money transaetions ^ end occupying a station calculated to impose upon the unwary . "

The anti-Corn Leaguers are making effoits to get the steam up here , though from the apathy of their gulled followers , it must be a work of extreme hardship , for well as their lecturers ore paid , it ia not pleasant for them to nave their breath wasted ou some twenty auditors ; and as the game is spoiled , it would be more advantageous for even Cobden , and a great deal cheaper to the body of leaguers , if they would just help the " workiea" to get what is really wanted .
