At ; the conclusioH , a very interesting discussion followed between the lecturer and Mi-. SpierB , Social Missionary . Both gentlemen displayed great ; ability , and both agreed upon the principles of the Charter as being just , and that Mr . Spiers would sign the petition with all his heart ; and did the Charter but depend upon his giving it , it would be given
to-morrow . ' . - - ' ' ¦ ¦ DUBZJir . ' ' ' . { From our Correspondent . ) As I anticipated in the communication of last week . Mr . Q'Connell was elected Lord Mayor on Monday last , which has given his followera and expeotanta great satisfaction .: Mr . O'Counell , a short time since , attended a meeting tor the encouragement of Irish jnanufacture , and said , that ** he had never yet done anything for the working classes , but that he would begin now . and put his ( hand in his pocket , " and paid over to the treasurer , for the encouragement of IrisMmanufacture , the munificent Bubsoription of twejixt shilunos III Hear this , ye poor exiled , ill-ased Irish tradmnen 2 Here is encouragement held out to ¦ you , to return to your
native country . The busy hum of the Irish shuttle shall now cheer the heart of the Irish widow , orphan , and matron . Something has at length been done for the working classes . Let it never be forgotten , that the great Liberator , now Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin , has subscribed tweuty shillings for the encouragement of Irish manufacture . As the robe usually wore by the Lord Mayor was made of scarlet cloth , and as there was none to be had of Irish manufacture , the Lord Mayor as ft farther proof of his determination t » support the < Irish manufaoturere , gave an order to his friend , Tom ArkinB , the caet-clothsman , to get him a robe of Irish scarlet velvet , which robe after all was but second-hand , as it was worn before the Lord Mayor Ma
saw it ; but the best of aU is , that t ^ e Lord yor exhibited himself on the balcony in front of his house , in Merrion-square , to hia deluded followers , arrayed in all the gandy and fantastic habiliments of office , while at the same time he ' accused mild , sensible , and unassuming Mr . Crawford of being swallowed up by overweaning vanity . This ridiculous charge afforded infinite amusement to the sensible portion of the citizens of Dublin , notwithstanding which he has a very numerous train of folio were , who place the utmost confidence in him , and who labour under the delusive hope that he will ultimately achieve some great good for them . Twelve years'experience has not opened their eyes to his political delinquencies"For well th' impostor knows all lures and arts That Lucifer eVe taught to ' tangle hearts . "
The Ikish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , at their great zoom , No . U , North Ann-street , Mr . William OToole in the chair . The minutes ot the last meeting ware read and confirmed ; after which the Secretary read a letter from Mr . T . Mooney , of Gowran , County Kilkenny , requesting Star-light in that quarter . Mr . O'HigKins read an admirable letter from the Rev . Mr . Ryan , which was received with every mark of respect and approbation . Mr . Atkinson was called upon by the meeting to deliver a short lecture on the principles of the liifih Universal Suffrage Association , which he did in a masterly style , and during the delivery of which he was muoh cheered . Mr . Rafter rose to move the admission of
Mr . Joseph Hammond , who , he said , was an old and tried friend in the cause of the people . Mr . Hammond briefly thanked the meeting for the honour of being admitted a member . Mr . Dyot rose audsaid he was glad to have the opportunity of correcting an error into which Mr . Atkinson had fallen , in the course of his admirable address , he said that the members did not agitato sufficiently for the cause . Now he ( Mr . Dyot ) thought it far better to urge the principles of the Charter by reason than by appealing to the passions and prejudices of a people already too much excited , and whose reason was prepossessed by an artful and designing agitator , whose sole object was money , while his ( Mr . Dyot's ) object was to call back men to reason and
experience . He was a worker in the cause of universal political redemption , and he was sure that if one man would endeavour to reform another , the work would go on bravely . He would conclude by proposing for admission one who would be a great auxiliary to them , Mr . M . G . Conway . ( Cheera . ) --Affcer which Mr . Conway rose and said , he thanked them for the high honour they had conferred upon him , and he begged to assure the meeting that since he had come to the use of reason , be had entertained the opinions ftdrooatfid by the Chutists of Great Britain and Ireland , and specially set forth in the People ' s Charter . He admired Mr . O'Counell perhaps more fhan any man in Ireland ; he had watched him during his Btrugglefor religious liberty ; he had seen him surrounded by the talent and
eloquence of the country , and by the whole of the Catholic priestheod , whose united powers achieved one of the greatest moral viotcries with which the history of the world furnishes us . It is but justice to Mr . O'Connell to say , that he was the chiet mover in the great moral struggle , and is therefore entitled to the honours of the victory , and there ( said Mr . Conway ) his usefulness ended ; for , after Catholic Emancipation , we find him wriggling himself into an alliance with tho Whiga for the purpose of getting places for his sou ? , aud sons-in-law , from that faction whom he has justly designated as " base , bloody and brutal , " aud who , but for the support he gave them , would long since have had to resign even before they passed the Poor Law Amendment act that separates husband
from , wife , aud the children from both . Long before he had seen the letters of Mr . Crawford he was opposed to Mr . O'Connell's scheme of Repeal , the agitation of which was mere delusion and intended as such . Had Mr . O'Connell been sinoere in his agitation of that great measure , he could , when he had tho people of England and Scotland with him , he could hare extorted any measure from the Finality faction , instead of which he multiplied in the House of Commons , by every means in his power , the enemies of that measure ; in 1837 he not only put the question of Repeal in abeyanco , but called upon the Irish constituencies to demand no other pledge from the candidates than that of supporting her Majesty ' s
Ministers , the sworn enemies of the Repeal of the Uniou . ( Great cheering . ) Here a man , who said his name was Brennan , and that he was a Repeal Warden and a schoolmaster , made a furious attack upon the Association , which he said was opposed to the views and interests of Mr . O'Connell . He then turned like a bear on Messrs . Can way and Dyot , who he said were traitors to O'ConneD . He then said he was astoniflhed at the conduct of Mr . O'Higgins , whose relations he knew to be honourable and patriotic gentlemen . He came there to call Mr . O'Higgins to account for the vote he gave at the munioipal elections . Why did he not vote for Mr . O'Connell ' s " whole ticket , " for men whom he knew would vote with Mr . O'Connell in everything in the . Town Council f ( Hear , hear , from Mr .
O'Higgins . ) Mr . O Council ' s Repeal Warden continued vociferating in this strain for a considerable time , to the . great amusement of the whole meeting . He ultimately sat down roaring at tho top of his voice " that he never was so laughed at before . " Mr . O'Higgins rose and gave Mr . O'Connclt ' s unfortunate Repeal warden the most awful castigation that ever man suffered , and so keenly did he feel it , that he and his party kept shifting towards the door , Mr . O'Higgins and several members imploring them not to go until they would bear all , bus no entreaty could induce them to remain . The meeting was further addressed by Messrs . Clarke and Wood . Mr . Woodward was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , whea : the meeting separated , eacfh as he went his way laughing at the : folly and signal defeat of Mr . O'CoaneH ' a . Repeal warden and friends .
To tub Ch a Hirsts . —Recent circumstances have rendered it absolutely necessary that the Chartists of Great . Britain should be acquainted with the names of the persona who assaulted Mr . Lowery , the Chartist missionary , in Henry-street , Dublin , in August , 1839 . No . 1 . Thomas M . Ray , that is " Dear Bay , " who planned the attack , and whose son got an appointment irom the .

Mr . Murray spoke of the old Northern Star in Ireland , went through all the proceedings respecting Emmett , and the evenfnl period of the year 3 &V
So exnilirating was the subsequent amusement of the evening , that this good and old friend ( Murray ) put on a pair of slippers , ( though he had not danced for more than thirty years , ) and gave us an hornpipe , which completely astonished the youngsters to see h » bald head and his light toe trip the boards to the quick-time music .

THE LEEDS TIMES AND BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . Chartism !—Brohtkem O'B * i « m . —On Sunday afternoon and evening , two " lectarea ** . ( haraag « e ») oa Chartism and the praspeets ef the people , - were delivered in the Hall of Seienoei by Mr . Bronterre O'Brien . The Hall was crowded to suffocation o » botti occasion , many haviag . to retorn front not rbek £ * Ue t < k « etai& adaisMn . . It waa with unfeigned pleaflure that we lart week xeeorded the ^ ukMpbicaL , moral , * nd manly lectnres , delivered by Mr . H . Viaeent , in the . same place , and it 4 s with equal pain , that oar doty now oempels us to dettounee the above aaraogoes as the most contradictory , immoral , and brutal fniminfttkats , ever belched ksrto by a druaken mas , ( ud indeed he was drunk * and no mistake . ) He never dealt # ith
prineiplea or maa « Mre * » but furiously Attacked all clateefijandbislaoguftse-was low , mean , and searrilous , a&d . exoited the , usedaeated portion of his audieaoe to frequent disorderly shoutfl aad exclamations . "You are hnmbngged , ? said lie , ** by Seefal Iftoturerffj you are humbugged by the par-Bons ; and you are humbugged by demagogues !*' There might be same trntb in this , bat fie never showed them how to evade , or detect the " humbug j" nor advised them to any elevated course of aoiwn by whkh they sight improve their condition ; and ho forget to tell them that he was the greatest nambng of them' all .. Snch a discordant ** lecturer , '' before : a- popular . audience , as might natwally be expected , produced the moat shocking disorder and uproar . Alas ! if such be the peoples leaders ,. their M prospects" are truly dreadful . — Leeds Times , Nov . 6 th , 1841 .
In reference to this " brutal" paragraph , we have received the following letter , to which we call attention : — My DeaB Sir , — I happened to be at Mr . Pitkettiiy ' a wben Mr . O'Brien arrived in HuddenBald . He- got hU diantr witti Mr . Pitkethly , asd Mr . Pitketbley repeatedly soliated him to have either some pirita ob trine , aU of wakh be decliaed , asd would take nothing but water during hit stay there . I accompanied him to the " Hall of Sotonee , " which , a * the writer aaya , " was crowded to suffocaijon , " a gnat qoantUyiiaving te go away without having the pleasure of hearing the V mo » t brutal fatnUnatfons ever belched forth bra drunken man . " The writer matt
have forgot blvueU when be aald that " he never dealt with principle * or meMaret ; " tor he tout know that he dealt with the meanrw of the Socialists , and triumphantly showed that it was impossible that their " dreams of benevolence" would ever be carried into effect without Univeml Suffrage , and that in such a way aa called forth the ihouls of hi * " unedncated " audience . . Bat to think of aSocialpt being Bcaodallsed by the exclamations of the unedueated because it was Sunday ! That Mr . O'Brien said they were " humbragged" is true ; but a « tho writer ' s memory appears te have been tzeachsroui aa to the eaaae of the « clamatioB , I beg to inform yoa that some peuoo , » pp » ren 11 y nncoaaected with the Bodalista , gave out , among other
things , a notice that there wat going te be a diwusaion as to " whether the character of Jem * Christ , u developed in the Scripture * , or the character of Hubert Oven , u developed in his . life , were the most worthy of imitation . " Here Mr . O'Brien did exclaim you are humbugged , and aaid that he knew that duemwiona of the kind were arranged between private parties for no other purpose than to draw an audience , and then divide the profit * between them . As to bia not advising them to follow any course of action , the writer cannot have forgot that he told the audience that he would , on that evening , state a few of their grievances ; but that , on the Tuesday night , he would lay down his plan for improving their condition . Aa to the "
discordant lecturer producing the nort shocking disorder , " ia really too ridiculous ! I have attended a very many meetings of that kind , and I do believe the writer never aaw one to much crowded with leu dUordar . Bat then a Socialist being abocked because there wm disorder on a Sunday ? this J » suWlmely ridiculous . I nave troubled you loaf enough , but I eanaot help saying that something like decency is due to any public character , and that parties who deal in this unqualified condemnation only provoke the exclamation " save ui from our friend * . " Believe me , yours
truly , Jakes Perkt . " Mr . Fenny seems to have written under the impression that the Leeds Times man is a Socialist . Whether he be or not we neither know nor care ; nor do we think that would be any fair ground on which to attack him in reference to his report . Every man is folly entitled to have his own opinions on all matters of opinion . The question of the publio with this infamous paragraph , has regard , not to the opinions of the writer , but to his infamous perversion of facts and assertion of falsehoods .

Distress . —On Monday three wretched girls were brought - before Alderman Hooper , at tho London Mansion House , charged with having broken windows for the purpose of being sent to Bridewell . A policeman stated that having , between one and two o ' clock in the morning , heard a smashing of glass , he went to ascertain the cause , and aaw the three girls , who told him that they had committed the offense , and that they wished to be locked up out of the cold . He took themtothestation-house , anathenee , by order of the inspector , to the union in Cannonstreet , where Mr . Thwaites , the relieving officer , immediately attended to the case , aud offered them orders of admission to the house at feckham , but
they refused to go to the establishment , and witness conveyed them to the station-house . Mr . Thwaites said that , as was frequently the case , he wasknocked up at an unreasonable hour , after the regular labours of the day , and he offered the orders to the girls , aU of whom had been at Peokhatd before ; but they rejected the orders , and he had no alternative but to send them back to the station-house . Mr . Hobler intimated to the Alderman that the rejection of the offer was by no means to be wondered at , as it was no trifle to walk four or five miles between one and two o ' clock in the morning after the exhaustion of the day . Aid . Hooper—Indeed it is a hard sentence upon poor fatigued persons to send them at such an hour such a distance . I am sure that is
not what ought to be called relief . Mr . Thwaites eaid that He had it not in his power to do anything more fox those who were brought to him . The multitudes received at Pecknam were beyond all credibility . They had 240 persons in the house a couple of weeks ago , and a strong spirit of insubordination had exhibited itsolf of late there . The girls 6 tated that they had broken the windows in order to be sent to prison , as a prison , bad as it Was , was better than the Peckham house , of which they knew quite enough . All that they could expect at Pecknam house was to be turned oat in the morning with a little bread . They had been ail round the London unions , and they mu 3 t Bay that prison was greatly preferable , whatever people might state . Booker ,
the overseer of Biehopsgato parish , stated that the guardians of the East London Union were to hold a meeting next day on the subject of purchasing premises in town for the reception of destitute persona like the defendants . All the guardians of the unions in the city would , he believed , - attend on' so iinportant an occasion . The East London Union guardians had . seen one of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioners on the subject , and it was believed that premises would be purchased . The conduct of the younger prisoners in the workhouse was so bad that the old people , who were entitled to some little comfort , had the most miserable lives in that asylum . Girls like those at the bar were in the habit of pelting eaoh other with bread and puddinr , and the
house was really a hell upon earth . Alderman Hooper , pereeivihgthrt one of the girls waa ill , sent her to Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and ordered that the other two should pay the sum of 20 a . each for the mischief they had done , or snfler imprisonment for a month in BridewelL ' One of the « irb .-T& 3 k yon . Sir , for sending us to Bridewell i any place is ' to be preferred to Peokham , and no mistake . We shall never go there again , at any rate . Alderman Hooper . —I do not attribute any blame to the relieving overseer , for he cannot remedy the evil- but it is quite a mockery of relief to give poor destitute creatures orders to go to Peckham between one * nd two m the morning . I ; hopi saoh a mode of relief ¦ wi ll b « as quickly as possible substituted by one more according with ordinary humanity .
