HUMAN LIFE . ] DROBABLY no theory can come more welcome XT to the human mind than the one which establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notwithstanding the trials , vexations , and difficulties incident to this life , tbe love of life increases with our years ; it is one of the innate princip les of our nature , and cannot be explained away By any of the subtleties of the aophiet , nor overcome by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguishable principles in our nature—onr lore of freedomlove of country—love of home , and many others , but the lote of life predominates . At present , the popular opinion is , that the natural duration of human life is seventy yeaxs , but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history . This opinion is , no doubt , founded on a misunderstanding or a Dassaare of the 90 th Psalm , where it is indeed

GLASGOW . —It is scarcely possible'to describe the enthusiasm and excitement which prevailed here when the sew * te&aspkedJhat Mr . Moir had received a letter bom Mr . O'Connor , staiang that he had received permission from the dying Whigs to walk out alive from bis dungeon ; it flew from mouth to mouth , and place to pises like wilddra , kindling a blftj of feeling unefuaTie 4 bilj ; e in the % ^ rmi « of Chartism . On the same evening which the glad-tidings arrived , a large- public me-tmg of the inhabitants of Bridgeton was held ia their hall , which , wm crowded to suffocation ; numbers bad to go away , whQe many who got in had considerable difficulty in getting out , being unable to bear the pressure . Upon the motion of Mr . M'Kay , Hr . Rodger was called tn the chsir , who opened the meeting withoat preface , witi the all-important iatelligeace of the
release of Fsargus OConnor . The lion ( O'Connor ; said Mr- Rodger , is at last allowed to walk out of bis den , Monday , at one o ' clock , ii the day and hour of his liberation from a cruel , unjust , and unparalleled impri-¦ opiuant of sixteen months , in the condemned cell of York Castle , where he has suffered ersrj indignity , and every species of cold-blooded cruelty and insult , which tie base faction , who has grantsd this tardy relief , crald inflict . ( A burst of rapturous cheering followed this announcement , i Mr . R . then detailed the circumgt » f » connected with his liberation ; after which he read the letter « f O'Connor to Moir , amid cheering and KmgratalaUonE . After refering to the glorioas course ef agitation which w&s about to follow , and the duty of the "Chartist body , and the gratitude which they ought to show to their giant pleader , and 'utninchiig
friend , when he once more came amongst them , he sat down by iairoludng Mr . Currie , who delivered , with bis uss . ll fire , eloquence , and animation , his celebrated lecture on democracy , and its adaptation to the ' present state of Bockty , which was listened to with the most lively pleasure and attention , and which elicited repeated bursts ef applause . The chairman then asked If there were any of their Whig opponents present ^ who had given their attendance for several Bights pas ; , and if there were , he hoped they woald speak out , and state if they hz \ any fault to find with the lecture just delivered ; however , if any of them were present , they did not think it prudent to make any remarks . He then called upon Mr . James Thomson , late of Spring Barn , bat now of Glasgow , to address the meeting , Which be did briefly . Mr . T . remarked that he was still the same unflmehing Republican whick . he was twenty years ago , whea he resided among them in Sndgeten , danog the felo » dy and iron reigB ef C&stle-TBigh and Sidicoath , and others . His head was now
fitting grey ; his heart was still warm in the cause of the people , and he could assure them , he wonltl not be i » the rear-rank , when Fe&rgas O'Connor cime to Glasgow . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Malcolm next addressed the meeting , in a a j wing and eloquent speech , which was loadly cheered . The Chairman then addressed the meeting ' ; he ref ered to the glorious movement of the Chartists in Ireland . He also read from the Star the letter of the Rsv . Mr . Ryan , which called forth loud sheer ? . N « w , said he , th&t our cause is going on so iJorioualj aad bo prosperously are there any amongst us who would desert his colours for any mean catch-penny agitation of the mjpri » cipled Whigs , —( no , no , ) if there is , let the brand of poltroon and traitor be marked on bis brow , and his commission given him to march from obi eamp with the least possible delay . Although we bad onee suffered the Whig fox to reach upon our horns the tweet * of office , we will never be such goats as to do to again . A vote of thinks was given to the lecturer , and another to the i **!'"" ) when the parboiled aieeting wiped their brows and departed .

Bom and given to Messrs Pinkerton , Smith and other members of the concert committee for their valuable , unwearied , aad unpaid services for the last twelve months . The Chairman then called upon Mr . Brown to read the minute * of last meeting , after which , Mr . Ross asked him if he had wrote to Feargas O'Coasor as he had bees directed , and if he had received as answer ? Mr . B . stated that he bad wrote according to instructions bat had received no answer . Mr . Rou then stated that he along with Messrs . Lang tad Walker had called upon the Lord Provost , la order i » aeeun the large Hall beside the Bacaai for a soiree when Eaatfos O'Connor comas to Glasgow , but had Bot f oood him ; he had also called several times himself aad waa equally nnmuxmifnl , he kowever , had

woald be worthy ot the Chartists of Glasgow and the noble aad generous champion whom they were about to honour , lie also hoped that as many Chartists as coold get forward to Qizfgow Cross , at one o ' clock on M « n * day , woald make it their duty to attend and give three cheers , that being the hour which O'Connor leaves bis dungeoa . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . Colquhoun for his conduct in the chair , when the mdeiing dissolved . Toll Cross . —A large and crowded meeting of the Chanists there was held in their own ball , for the purpose of listening to Messrs . Roager and Cullen , bom Glasgow , Mr . Clelland was called to the chair , who opened tha business of the meeting in a Tery feeling and effective speech ; be referred to the gradual deteror&tiou of the wages and domestic comforts ef the working people of that district and that while they saw their wivts and little ones starving for food and clothing , they saw their grinding task roasters pocket the means
which should go to supply these wants . Everyone despised the father who squandered the substance which should support or supply the wants of his wife and children . A country was just a family on a Urge scale , and the Government was the head of the family ; hence if that Government suffered even the meanest among them to suffer traat by its own extravagance and neglect , it w&s on anastorai and immoral parent , and stood convicted before ttod and man of injustice , cruelty , neglect , and oppression , and merited a just punishment for its deeds . ( Chetrs ) -He then introduced Mr . Rodger , who addressed the meeting for upwards of an boar ia a strain of impusicned eloqaence ; be took a review of th * rapid reductions that are being made upon the wages of working meu engaged in every branch of business , and noticed that those whom he now saw around him had guff , red & farther reduction of wages since the last time he had been among them , while their masters had added to their studs of horses and their
packs of bounds , cellared a fresh supply of wines , and laid out a " few more acres in pleasure grounds— ( Cries of " True , true" *—bow could they be happy and virtuous under suth a system . ' or bow could they prepare for a happy immortali& hereafter under sveh a damning state of things gupf £ * rted by devils , not men ? ( Cheers . ) He then referred to vhe visit of O'Connor , the progress of the Charter movement , and the present struggle for power among the aristocratic factions , and the results which was likely to follow . He then pointed out the misdeeds of the aristocracy , and declared there ought to be no aristocracy but the aristocracy of talent and virtue . ( Cheers . ) He had got himself registered as an elector , and like Eirl Grey , he would stand by bis order . He then appealed to the fathers and husbands present to
use their every energy to ohtage the system , and carry the Charter ; for ( said he ) with what feeling * can a man reflect when he lays his head upon his last pillow , that h « is leaving behind aim the nearest and dearest objects of his Efiections & prfay t-o poverty and degradation and their prospects and happiness to be crucified by wicked and irrespjnsible power . He went on touching upon various topics for seme time longer , and then sat down amid rapturous cheering . Mr . Cullen , who arrived during the time Mr . Rodger was speaking , and was hailed with a burst of cheering , rose , and in a speech in which Mr . Callen was peculiarly happy , laid bare the system , and shewed it off in all its naked deformity . He said he had just come from a labour of love , si though it was a painful and heart-rending scene to behold so
many yeung and old , all willing to labour if they could procure it . To make them understand what he meant , £ 12 0 s . l £ d . had been collected at the Coartist Church on Sunday , the 22 nd instant , for the unemployed , and he had been engaged in distributing it among the mast needful cues . The poor and tiespised Chartists had been the ir * t to set the example of charity for the behoof ef the starring operatives . Where is the sympathy ( he would ask ) of the wealthy aad the powerful of our land fur the awful amount ot misery and wretchedness which walk along osr streets , or pine in w . iat and misery in the decs sod hovels of our city ? and where are the wealthy clergymen of our rich Church Establishments 1 Why , they are too busily engaged in collecting funds for Bible and Missionary Societies , in order to send abroad th « lr surplus priesthood to New Zealand , to convert the cannibals there ,
the Hottentots of Africa , or the Lascars of India ; and while they pretend to make these savages more pious , ihey continue to propagate and support a system of barbarous cannibalism at home . They say that one soul is of more value than the whole world , while they allow millions of the bodies of their brethren at home to be murdered , and their souls go to perdition for aught they care , under a system worse by fur than the one they profess to destroy by their Bibles and their missionaries . ( Cheers . ) He would call upon every one present to unite in one common bond of brotherhood , and crush this infamous and iniquitous system with oue bold and master power , and trample it for ever under the foot of mau ! y freedom and righteous indignation . Mr . Cullen addressed the meeting for nearly three quarters of an hour , and sat down amid great cheering . A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .
HAWICK , —[ Received too late for insertion in our last]—The committee of the Htwick Char tist Association held their usual weekly meeting on Monday evening , in the Chartist Hall , when the question of the propriety of including the Repeal of the Legislative Union wit& Ireland in the ptopoeed Ha . tional Petition , of which netiee had been given- at the previous meeting , was discussed . Toe following resolution was agreed to , and ordered to be sent to the Nerlhern Star and Scottish Patriot , with a desire to have it inserted in their first impression : — " That while we acknowledge the right of Ireland to her own legislation , and would cheerfully assist our Irish brethren
to obtain their rights , yet , at the same time , we kighly disapprove of including the question of Repeal of the Union in the proposed national petition for the Charter j the more so , as we , in common with our Chartist brethren in Scotland and England , bare repeatedly resolved to be a party to n « other agitation but for the obtainment of the Charter ; being firmly persuaded that the obtaining of the Charter is the only means by which the people have the least chance ot getting justice ; and that , if the people of Ireland wish a Repeal of the Union , we are convinced that they will then have a far greater probability of succeeding than they cva . possibly have under the domination of the factions , who alternately rule and rob the people . "
DUNDEE . —[ Received too late for our lastV—A public meeting of the Democratic Association of the Gauldry ( Fifeshire ) was held on Monday , the 23 rd August , whea Mr .

The following resolutions were moved , and unanimously agreed to .- — " That this Association immediately petition Parliament for the restoration of Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jones to their country and friends ; the liberation of all those imprisoned for political offences in England and Wales ; and that the People ' s Charter may speedily become the law of the land . —That the
best thanks of this Association are doe , and are hereby given to the Rev . Mr . Ryan , Roman Catholic priest , for bis manly and straightforward oonduct in joining the Dublin Chartist Association , and thereby affording Ireland and the world an example of resistance to the foal-moathed dictator , O'Connell , in a mild and convincing manner , as shown by his letter to the Dublin Register , of the 12 th August" The cause is gaining ground in this quarter ; a number joined Vhe Association upon this occasion who had hitherto withheld their rapport from it . Three hearty cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor ; for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; the Charter ; &c A vote of thanks to the lecturer and chsirmin was also given , when the meeting separated .

It was mored by Mr . Matthews and seconded by Mr . Cator , " That for the future the business of the local meeting shall be dispatched
as Boon as convenient , and then to commenco reading articles from the newspapers and other iwriodicals to invite discussion on the Base for the information of our fellow-men , who attend oar meetings oa those nights . " Carried ananimoasly . On Thursday evening , Angust the 26 th , Mr . Balls gave a very excellent and instructive Chartist lecture in the same place .

Mr . Yineent ' s Address were read to them . Ia the afternoon , of the same day the County Coancil met in the above place , as usual .
