Bailey and-Hagae , the one a Chartist and the other a Cera Law repealer ^ were appointed umpires 4 o decide any dispate which mightariae . Mr . Warms was introduced to movr the . first resolution , in doing which , he occupied about tweniy minutes . He advanced nothing but what has beea laid "before thi pablie a thousand times ; and as-many times refuted and shown la tha world to be mere
delusion and hombag . He , forsooth , was as sincere a C&artist asaoy amongst them , bnt he saw no reason ^ ktnd soul , why his brother Chartists should net hvve a large loaf first . He saw no reason why he fihould beBeprived of his food , because he had no voice in Bending men to ParEaineht to make laws by which they ' were to be governed . . . Mr . -Fikgah was called upon to second the resolution . He rambled from one thing to aaother—wishing . 4 Kb people to go , for that which wonldimmediafeeilj . and permanently benefit them—denounced the aristocracy and the Corn La ws . for robbing the working classes , bin he very sag&eionsly ' omittea to jay anyihinjT of the robberies committed by the cotton lords .

LikCH came forward amid tremehdons cheer-. ing _ He was very glad that such sileace and attention ? iad been observed , while . the gentlemen who had ^ pnx ^ eded him were speaking . He then exploded eTery argument adranced by the Hepeaiera , and repudjatea ihe avowed object of'these men ; who were exporting their sympathy abroad and neglected objects under their noses at home—of men travelling to Rani , Prussia , and the burning sands of Africa , to find people who wanted clothing , whilst thoasand » in their own country were walking the streets nearly nakpd , and pro Ted , from statistical documents , that in proportion as trade had increased the wages of tiie workmen had decreased ; adverted to the eondnei . of the League at Stockport , in making , snob enormons redactions ; showed how machinery
operated against the interest of the working classes ; and ihat whilst the Corn Laws had taken £ 20 , 000 , 000 , tho ^ reduction in . wages had been as mneh m £ 120 , 000 , 000 . He hoped the gentlemen of the press woqW notice thai , ISereralToices cried oa \ Northern iSior . ); He said that fact had not been in the Star jetybaiit should be . ( Load cheers . ) At a priating estaHishment in tie town , there were twenty-six meriiheadaujgaJ 1 mochbj the aid of machinery as 530 * eoniaprin ^ jrith hind blgcks twenty years ago ; an impeownnf tfeiiii been discovered which enabled theaijtojajnt ajwinmber ^ of colours by machinery , asCcoemu and * icy were doing ae much work as twenty mea eoold do only , nine months ago . The Bpeaker iroueht a number of facts , figures , and dates
to bear apou his position , which upset everything advanced bj his opponents , and concluded by aekiog the Tollowing question , and moving an amendment in favour of the Charter . Question : How . was it , if the Corn Laws would giro an impetus to trade , and thus enhance wages , that from the year lTBito 1815 , when there were no Cam Laws , and when the English manufacturers had a supremacy of trade orei the . world , when they had none to compete with them , the . trade increased fivefold when there was no Corn Laws , and yet wages came don in that period OBerfcalf ! In retiring he was loudly cheered . Some confusion here took place betwixt the parties on the platform , A few of the Irishmen wanted to get at Mr . "R ^ nir " . who rose to second the
amendment . - - Such , was the confusion and uproar , that we could scarcely hear a word he said . The irishmen were embittered against Rankin for moving a vote of censure upon the conduot of Daniel O'Connell , a short time since in Salford . Mr . Aoiro , the great gun of the league , being present , came forward at the request of the Chairman , to answer the question of Mr . Leach . Bat , he , instead of fairly and honestly answering tbe question , went into a long rambling ' speech quite HTeleraot to the point at issue ; and oontinned , notwithstanding the repeated cries of " question , " to shuffle , equivocate , aad shrink from it . The people were patient to a fault in thus being humbugged . It was not until sear « Ievtn o ' clock , when he had
spokflB apwards « f halfao boor , that be cedd be prevailed upon , even by his own party , to answer the ' question . This was a scheme of the Corn Law party to weary the people , and get oar party to leave ,- s » that they might carry their resolution . When he ' did come to it , he put words iato Leach ' s month he jiever made use of , and then began to answer it in his own way . Mr . Leach rose and told him he was wrong , and he knew * it himself . Mi . Aciaxd then made another attempt , but put entirely a wrong construction on the words . The meeting saw the evasive conduct of Adand , and pretty well told him of it . Mr . Lxach then pnt the question again . Aclucd never attempted to touch the subject .
The meeting became impatient , and repeated cries were made for the amendment ; a skirmish took place ; and after brandishing of sticks , and a deal of confusion , all was quiet again . AcusD went on again until . interrupted by cries cf time to go home , put the amendment . " Ai- length the people were exasperated ; some times cheers were given for the Charter , followed by shoats and stamping by the Hepealers . Acland all this time attempting to address the meeting , until not a werd could be heard . At this time , the Chairman came stamping over ur books , knocking down our ink bottles , &c . followed by several others . Djujet , one of . tbe Corn Law Repealers , began grumbling at oar rsportei for reporting Acland ' s speeeh . Fuugaic , in order to excite bis countrymen against him , said he tras the biggest liar that ever put pen to paper .
The Rkfobtbb , in reply , called him a villain , for wishing his countrymen to break his , the reporter ' s head . Daring this time Aclikd went on with hia shouting to the top of his ro : ce . FixiQih' then began to abuse Lbach , calling him a rascal , &c . < feo . In justice to Warren , we mast say , that , had it not been for him , our reporter would have had a most excellent chance of getting his eraaium cracked . This noise and conruaon continued till near eleven o ' clock . The reporters all rose from their seats , and put their books into their pockets , as though apprehensive of a row . An Trifihman under the platform drew his bludgeon from under his coat , and this was the signal for the
onslaught . About forty or fifty bludgeons were shortly brandishing in the body of tbe Hall in a cluster . They then otmmenced playing away with their stiekB on big , little , joung , and old , - hitting right and left , and cleared all before them . Here , then , ware the Chartists unarmed against those coldblooded ferocious " «^ " » " The Irishmen kaving possession , many were runing out of the Hall , until some one rushed to the door , and prevented them going eat . Whilst this dreadful and bloody work was going on , oar reporter asked Warren , Daly , Acland and Yeald—( the latter was the man who took the Chartist hustings attheStephengon ' s Square butchery)—whether it was not their party , to which Acland replied it was , and he denounced it . Yeald
said he would sever attend another meeting if that would be their conduct . Mr . Leach seemed very mnch pat aboat at seeing his fellow creatures so cruelly used , cried shame . Finnigan and Big Mike said it was our party . Mr . Leech said if they would go aad seize any one cf them , he would appear , and swear to them the next day . But they would not do that . The lying villains knew who had encaged the foolish men to do sneh dirty work . Every eensible man upon the platform cried shame . It was not till the Chartists had been attacked three times , that they offered any resistance ; bat , finding their lives were at stake , they mnstflgbt , orbe killed A yoone clever man . with a short round jacket , a
mechanic , had received a blow at the commencement of the meeting ; two Irishmen went to him again , for the purpoee of beating him again . He met taw bottflike & man , having nothing bat his fist * , knocked them both down , took their sticks from them , threw them over oar . heads on to the platform , and then kicked them till they ran head first into the crowd . The Irishmen before had triumphantl y brandished their shilelahf , The Chartists then knocked down the forms , jumped opoa the under part , broke off the bearers , and furnished themselves with strips of wood . They then dosed in upon the bludgeon men , and separated -them . A good stand-up fight then commenced , which lasted ,

THE DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE WEST OF ENGLAND , &c , TO THEIR POLITICAL BRETHREN . Oppressed Fellow Countrymen , —Having been delegated to meet in Bath for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying out tbe recommendations made by the Executive , we beg to point your particular attention to the resolution * agreed to by as , after mature deliberation , and which appeared in the Northern Star of tbe 23 d instant We call for your co-operation to carry these important resolutions into effect- Do you de&ire to obtain justice through the enactment of the Charter—aid us in thrusting tbat great measure of right upon the present corrupt legislature . We highl y approve the plans propounded
by the Executive Council , because they are such as appeal to reason rather than to passion , and are sure to enlist under our banner all who are truly patriotic , and willing to join in the onward movement of the industrious but suffering millions . On your exertions at the present moment everything depends—the Petition must be signed by four millions of persons , all arrived at years of discretion . It ¦ will require a sacrifice on the part of those who sue beat prepared and most willing to make it , to obtain this enormous number of signatures—but it must be done . The Convention must be supported—backed up by the approving efforts of the Bullions—and the people roust be taught to attach due importance to this great and intelligent assembly . If we desire to be emancipated from slavery , these things must be effected .
This is the path by which we are to arrive at liberty ; if we are faint-hearted aad irresolute , we shall be defe&ted , and never arrrre at the glorious end . The task is easy , the doty pleasing , tbe cause just , and the reward happiness and prosperity . Are not these sufficient incentive * to action ? Is there an honest man Who will not aid us ? Then , brethren , let tit commence the work at once . Aid us t ? procure lecturers for our counties , whose duty it shall be to enlighten the minds of those who are ignorant of our principles ; let us disseminate knowledge by the distribution of political tracts , and Chartist periodicals ; let us carry the National Petition from door to door , and in every public thoroughfare let sheets be lain for signatures ; begin to collect funds for the forthcoming Convention ; in short , so your duti , and victory is onn !
Does any one ask what good can be derived from the proposed proceedings—we answer : Public opinion vrill be created in our Jacour—opinion which carries with it resolution and determination ; a revolution of mind and of principle will be effected ; the apathetic will be aroused ; the ignorant instructed ; and the unjust terrified . Imagine for a moment the following : — In London , a Convention of forty honest , intelligent , patriotic men , assembling daily , and , through the press , addressing the whole population of the kingdom , by speeches eloquent , argumentative , and persuasive : the masses , pressed down by dire necessity , eagerly catching every sentence utUred by men they believe to be labouring to promote universal good . The public mind
drawn to and attention rivetted npon , the presentation of the National Petition . Notice of the presentation , and a motion upon it , given to the House of Commons . The day arrives—a huge mass approaches St . 'Stephen ' s —a dense multitude accompanies it , and loud and reiterated are their cheers . The repeated peals of vociferous exultation without strike the ears of the mock representatives of tbe people—a whisper runt through " both sides" of the House— " the people are advancing to demand their rights ! " The unwidely man has arrived at the portals of "the House . * Borne on the shoulders cf thirty or forty sturdy men , is an immense roll of paper , banded with large hoops of iron—it cannot enter—the doors are opened wide—bnt not wide enough for its admission—tee hoops are unhanded—the petition onroUed , and miles of paper , representing
millions of people , are gradually dragged Into the House , amidst the joy of the people—the cheers of their friends—and tbe « oasternatioa of their enemies . SOeaee restored , the petition is read—with its many-tongued truths—aloud in "tbe House . ' , The number of petitioners is declared to be four mllllbas . The honest , though small section of " tbe House , " have rallied to support the people ' s demands . Eloquent appeals are made—but the strongest argument will be the huge petition oq the floor . The dishonest , and the knavish , will have deserted their seats—tbe scene will have overpowered them—and the battle will be fought by a fourth part of the legislative assembly . A motion , in favour of the People ' * Charter is made—fear will have done its work . And theugh , perhaps , the People's Charter may not at that moment become the law , its justice will be admitted by the division upon tbe

I » EEDS . —Municipal ErttrrioN . —The committee appointed a deputation , consisting of Messrs . Westlake , Stonehouse , and Brook ,, to wait upon the candidates . The deputation waited upon Mr . John Holmes , Mr . J . Dufton ; Mr . Whitehead , and Mr . Bower . Mr . Holmes , for the North Ward , did not give answers to the deputation whieh the committee thought was satisfactory . Mr . Dufton , for the North East Wird , gave answers to the deputation which the committee thought were very satisfactory . Mr . Wnitehead , for the North West Ward , answered in a very shuffling manner . H # ridicules our idea of Universal Suffrage , and Baid he would give a man , his wife , and six children , eight votes ; and then said , after this , the Charter
was right in theory , bat was not practicable at present , and told the deputation that the Chartists were not going the right way ; they ought to go for practical measures , such as a repeal of the Corn Laws , and others - similar . Mr . Bower , for the Hunslet Ward , answered the deputation in a very satisfactory manner . He will sign a petition for the Charter , and endeavour , if returned , to pat a stop to the degrading practice of drilling the night watch , and will do his utmost in getting the use of the Court-Hoose for the working classes to hold public meetings . Tbe deputation laid the answers before the committee , when they were freely discussed , the answers of Mr . Whitehead were designated as those of a political iguaok . After a deal of discussionthe
, Committee came to the following resolutions , to which they hope the Chartists in each ward will bear particular attention . Those in the North East and Hunslet Wards aw called upon to support Mr . J . Dufton and Mr . Bower . Mr . Dufton is a man whom every honest Chartist may support , with a belief that he will do bis utmost to better their condition , nationally and locally . Let , then , the Ckartisto rally round him on Monday next , and return him triumphantly as the working man ' s representative . Of Mr . Bower much need not be said ; he is well known ; he has promised fairly to remove those grievances which the working classes are subjected to . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —
1 . That Mr . James Dufton , and Mr . Joshua Bower , the candidates for the North East and Hanslet Wards , are entitled to the support of the Chartists in their respective wards , and we hereby call upon them to give them their votes and interest on Monday next . 2 . That the answers of Mr . Holmes , and Mr . Whitehead , are not satisfactory to the committee , and we call upon the Chartists , in those Wards , to remain neutral . 3 . That this oommittee would respectfully call upon all Chartists , residing in all the other WardB , to remain neutral , and let Whig and Tory factions fight it oat themselves . The above resolutions were laid before the public meeting on Monday night , when it was moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , tbat the Report of the Election Committee be adopted . —Coorreapondent .
Unwholesome Meat . —At the Leeds Borough Sessions , Thomas Bedford , of Morley , pleaded guilty to an indictment preferred at the instance of the Leeds Improvement Commissioners , for offering for Bale , at Leeds , unwholesome meat , unfit for sale , and entered into recognisances by himself and sureties to the judgment of the Court when called upon . The object of the Court was to hold the judgment over him to prevent a repetition of the offence . Mr . Hall , counsel for the prosecution , stated that if any similar cases occurred , punishment would be pressed for .
Odd-Fellowship . —We understand that the Rev . Dr . Hook , Vicar of Leeds , will preach a sermon to the officers and members of the Leeds District of the M .- U . of Odd Fellows , on Sunday afternoon , November the 14 th , after which , a collection will be made in aid of the funds of the Leeds General Dispensary . The respective lodges of the District will assemble in the Coloured Cloth Hall , and march in procession to the Parish Church . O'Brien at Leeds . —On Tuesday evening , in accordance with prior announcement , Mr . O'Brien delivered the first of three lectures , in the Music Hall , of this town , to which one penny each was charged for admission , previous to the lecture , a partv of friends , to the number of thirty , took tea
with the patriot , at Mr ? . Hall's Coffee House , in Calllane . On entering the Music Hal ) , at half-past seven o ' clock , Mr . O'Brien was received with tremendous cheering . Mr . Win . Brooke was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Roberts and Mr . Walker as a deputation from the Chartists of Leeds , to present an address , which was read amidst cheering . Mr . Westlake moved a resolution to the effect that the imprisonment of Mr . O'Brien was both illegal and unjust , and pledging the meeting to support him in his future endeavoars . This vtas seconded and carried , amidst loud cheers . Mr . O'Brien then came forward and the cheering waB renewed , and was continued for some time . He commenced by expressing the pleasure he
experienced at meeting them again after an absence ot two or two and a half years , but his regret at finding them in such a state of distress . He then alluded to his imprisonment , the crime for which he was imprisoned—a speech which he delivered twelve months prior to his prosecution , and which was reported to contain sentiments which he never utteredand the conditions which were attached to his liberation—acknowledging to owe to the Qaeen the sum of £ 800 , in order that he be of good behaviour , and keep the peace towards all her Majesty ' s subjects . He disclaimed all connection with physical force doctrines , denied that the Chartists were the advocates of physical force , and charged these doctrines on the aristocracy , who declared that if at any time
the majority of the people obtained possession of the government , no matter what the public opinion of the British people—no matter what was the public opinion of the country upon Universal Suffrageif the people did so obtain possession of the government , it would be an act of merit in the aristocracy to rise op andrebel against 6 u « h government . Sir Robert Peel himself was net only a preacher of rebellion , but a receiver of stolen goods to a large amount ; by his act of 1819 , he had added fifty per cent , to his own property . In the coarse of a long address , Mr . O'Brien entered very largely into the means necessary to be used in order to obtain the rights of the people , and the use they were to make of those rights when they had obtained them ; he | h ogiwiou

rather checked business . Rye is much enquired after , and commands a ready sale .

London Smithfield Market , Monday , OcTi 25 th . —Owing to the arrival of beasts fresh up to ou market this morning being considerably on the increase , the weather unfavourable to siaughtennft and the attendance of provincial dealers by no means numerous , the beef trade- ^ -particularly with , * ! £ middling and inferior qualities of stock , wnio » formed a huge portion of tho supply—wasex' !!* sively heavy , and although a decline of 2 d . per olo . was submitted to in the auotations . a clearance was
