OPENSHAW .-Mr , William Shearer , of Manchester , lectured at the Chartist room , noar the Black Horse , Ashton-road , on Sunday evening last .

O'Connor , Esq . Notwithstanding the largeness of the room , it was found too small to render comfortable the immense number that were present . They came in swarms from all the adjoining districts .

diffused throughout the whole of the night s proceedings which alone might have been expected by bis presence . It speaks well for the high moral tone the working classes have attained , for few , if any , of the nobility ' s concerts and balls are ever more ably conducted , or the rectitude of visitors more rigorously observed . The Btewards state that 1 , 000 persons took tea , and that afterwards there were not less than 1 , 600 persons in the room . The tea sorvice was well managed ; the music was most efficient ; in fact , the-musical talent displayed was of a very high order . The hall was decorated with various flags and banners . The feast was continued without the least unpleasant interruption , first , with dancing , then songs , recitations , &o ., and l astly , overtures by the band , until half . past twelve , when it Ipeaceably concluded .

Eleven o ' clock in the forenoon was the hoar appointed , they expecting to act the baby farce undisturbed , think ' ing the working men of Bilston were at that hour doomed to their posts of labour ; but these dusky sons of toil were on the alert , and determined to see justice done . The rain fell in torrents , but the
men would not flinch , although drenched and wet to the skin . The magistrates , clergy , and gentry , kept the doors of the office dosed against the working men , for the purpose of packing the meeting with their own friends ; but the sons of toil , perceiving their trick , blocked up every door , to prevent them from so doing . At length the doors were opened , when a tremendous rush was made , in an instant the room was crammed , to excess , and they commenced business by the High constable reading the requisition , and proposing the Her . Mr . Fletcher to the chair , which was seconded by Mr . Baldwin , a magistrate , when Mr . Stiran rose and moved as an amendment , that Mr . Cadley , a resident , and working man , do take the chair , which
was seconded by Mr . Jaffa ; the amendment was put first , when a forest of hands were raised in bohalf of Mr . Cadky . The High Constable then put the proposition , when about thirty or forty kid-skin gloves were held up . Air . C . then immediately proceeded to the chair . Mr . Stiran moved the Chartist address to her Majesty , A rev . gentleman then came forward with his address as an amendment , which was a profusion of artificial nonsense . The chairman then proceeded to put the address and amendment . The rev . gent ' s , address being an amendment , was put first , and about from thirty to
forty kid-Bkin gloves were held up . Mr . Strian ' a address was then put to tho meeting , when a forest of hands were shown , and it was carried with shouts of applause . Mr . S . again rose , and moved a resolution that this meeting calls for a blessing for the starving millions , and that poverty , and the fear of want and starvation might be removed from this wretched land . The rev . gentleman asked in what manner they should call for the blessing . Mr . S . replied in whatever manner the meeting thought proper ; to which the rev . gentleman cordially agreed . This proposition was carried unanimously . The meeting soon after broke up .
GLASGOW . —A . public meeting of the citizens of Glasgow was held in St Ann ' s Church , on Monday night last , to take into consideration the propriety of memorializing her Majesty to extend her Royal act of clemency for political offenders to Frost , Williams , and Jones . The committee made their appearance shortly after eight o ' clock , when , upon the motion of Mr . Brown , Mr . James Walker was called to the chair . Mr . Callen moved the first resolution . He complimented the meeting for the promptitude which they had manifested in coming forward on the present occasion , paid a high compliment to the characters of Frost and his copatriots , condemned the villanous system of espionage which bad been employed to entrap these worthy men in the meshes of the law , showed the
necessity of urging every legal effort for their final pardoa and return to their native homes ; he then sat down by reading the resolution , which was , in effect , that this meeting having learned with pleasure and satisfaction the report th it her Majesty was about to extend her clemency to all political offenders at present incarcerated , agree to call upon her Majesty to extend her Royal pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones . —This was seconded in a brief speech by Mr . M'Fadyen , and spoken to by a gentleman whose name we could not learn . The resolution waa then put and carried without a dissentient voice . Mr . John
Colqahoun moved the second resolution , which was , that this meeting agree to memorialize her Majesty for a full , free , and unqualified pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jones . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Talt , and was carried by a forest of hands . Mr . Brown then read a copy of the Memorial , the adoption of which was moved by Mr . Proudfoot , seconded by Mr . Malcolm , and carried unanimously . After which it was moved by Mr . CuUen , and carried , that the Memorial be intrusted to Sir Frederick Pollock , for presentation to the Queen , through the medium of the Home Office , and after some discussion on other matters , the meeting dissolved .
Neilsto . v . —At a public meeting , held in the house of Mr . Alexander Dunn , on the tvening of Thursday , the 2 nd of December , the following resolutions were agreed to : — " The unemployed of the parish of Neilston baring heard , with regret , the hasty resolution come to by the Committee of Supply , for relieving the wants of the distressed unemployed in the said parish , viz ., ' That no more supply shall be given unless they break st « nes by the way side , ' this meeting , taking into consideration the advanced state of the season , and the inclemency of the weather , besides the very bad condition ef their clothing , consider that such individuals who have been accustomed to work in a hot temperature , would not be justified by their so doing , as by such conduct tbe organic lairs of their structure might be bo infringed as to impede them for life from following after any occupation , and thus becoming a
burden upon society . " " This meeting consider the unemployed of this parish are entitled to the same amount of benefit as the unemployed of Paisley , and therefore are of opinion that should the Committee of Supply still turn a deaf ear to the solicitations of the distressed , tha congruences resulting from such conduct will have a tendency to serious results accruing therefrom . " These resolutions were laid before the heritors and employers on Monday . The following answer , embodied in a resolution , agreed to unanimously , in the presence of two Rev . Divines of the Church of Scotland , one of them in tbe receipt of £ 300 per annum , was received;— " That the Committee be instructed to give no aid to any able-bodied individual who refuses to do the work provided for him b / the Committee , unless he produce a certificate by a surgeon that such work will be injurious to his health .

We wish to direct your attention to the intelligence conveyed throagh the press of the Queendom , that , in consequence of her Majesty having given birth to an heir to tbe throne of these realms , that several of tbe convicted felons are to receive a free pardon , and others to have their sentences commuted , on \' ae baptising of the Prince of Wales ; we consider thla event offers a favourable opportunity to the just , the philanthropic , and the patriotic , to come forward and memorialise her Majesty to restore Frost , Williams , and Jones to the bosoms of their disconsolate families , and to liberate all political prisoners .
Reasen , justice , philanthropby , and patriotism , point out to you yonr duty , viz ,, to convene publie meetings in every town in the empire , calling on her Majesty to extend the prerogative of the Crown to those honest and benevolent men who have been so UDJustly banished from their families , homes , and country . We sincerely hope you will adopt this course at once and without delay . Signed , on behalf of the Executive Conncll of the National Charter Association , John Campbell , Secretary . Salford , December 7 , 1841 .

-w , ^ TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —In my letter last week , I endeavoured , as well as I was able to point out to you briefly our actual position . 1 am resolved in this letter to explain to the members of the association , the difficulties the Executive have had to contend against During the time of office of the Provisional Executive , every step that could be taken , was taken by that body to forward the cause . The association was merely in a state ot formation at tbe time I was appointed Secretary . In February lost , there were about eighty localities in the association , there are now two hundred and eighty-two , so that the increase has been two hundred and two localities since . The correspondence now is great , yet on the whole , there is every reason to state that the cerraspondenoe is punctually attended to ; nearly 20 , 000 cards have been issued , although the balance
sheet only accounts for 1 , 300 ; the reason of this is that several lecturers have had cards , and left them at various places ; but tho sub-secretaries have not sent me word how many they have had . There is one subject I wish to draw the particular attention of the sub-Secretaries and General Council to , namely , tbe payment for cards ; bad tbe cards issued been promptly paid for , as well as the regular subscriptions been sent into the Executive , that body might now employ a few useful and talented lecturers , to go into those districts that hitherto may not have had an opportunity of hearing the sacred principles of democracy expounded . The Association will perceive that our exertions so far have been all up-hill work , and that from the time the permanent Executive commenced their labours until now , there has been no remissneas on its part to forward the interests of our
cause . Brethren , had not a few towns stood nobly by ns , and assisted us with funds , your Executive would have been in an awkward situation ; indeed , I cannot but make honourable mention of the following places , namely , Tib-street , Manchester , Sowerby , Todmorden , London , Nottingham , Salisbury , Huddetafleld , and a few other places . It will be seen by the balance sheet that those places , have nobly performed their duty . Anything and everything may be done if the General Council are active , energetic men . On them hinge the whole Association .
The progress of our cause is truly astonishing . I had yesterday a letter from Kettering , Northamptonshire , stating that the Association was springing into active life , and that at Oudenal , auother village , a middle class man had expended £ 1 10 s in petition headings ; and this humane and patriotic Individual wishes to see the Association formed in the latter place . To-day , I have had a letter from Redrnth , in Cornwall , by Mr . Henry Hancock , formerly of Leeds , Bending ten shillings f » r cards , and stating that Mr . Feargus O'Connor or Dr . P . M . M'Douall is only wanted to arouse the whole of the Cornish men to a sense of their duty . And here let me remark that Feargua O'Connor has enrolled near one thousand members during the last iea day a , an example well worthy of imitation .
O , that we had but funds to employ fifty good lecturers , to go over the country to preach the glad tidings of Chartism , what a fruitful harvest might be reaped As it is , every post brings fresh news of additional forces to our faat-increaaing number ? . It will be seen that the Executive is to be in Bristol on the first Monday in January , 1842 . Let the good Chartists of Bristol take steps accordingly . Bath and Trowbridge should do the same . Let every effort be made to swell the National Petition to an immense siz * . Let there be no stone left unturned to accomplis \ this mighty project ; let signatures in an upright and manly manner be sought and obtained ; but let there be no intimidation in the case—let it truly be a National Petition—a
lasting monument of the struggles of righteousness and justice against fraud , tyranny , and spoliation . I also request that when anything very particular occurs , relating to our principles in any part of the country , that tbe tub-secretary , residing in the district , would send me immediate information , and when convenient , forward me the newspaper or periodical where such proceedings are noticed , and also whenever any party attacks the association through the press , an immediate account should be Bent to me , in order that I might be enabled to lay the same before the Executive . And when , for the future , any person writes to me , his address ought to be written in a plain and legible hand . The name of the street , the number of the house , the name of the town and county , ought to be at the head of each letter sent to me .
Let the sub-Secretaries not loose sight of this . Let any information be asked , and I will give it to the best of my ability . In conclusion allow me to state , that the Executive tender their best thanks to those goed democrats , all over the country , who have enabled them to prosecute the glorious undertaking the United Chartists of England and Wales have appointed them to watch over . For my own port , I am resolved to state to yon , from time to time , through the medium of the Northern Star , the National Vindicator , and the English Chartist Circular , a » correctly as I can , tbe exact position ef tbe Democratic party in this country .
In fine , let us fling all petty squabbles to the winds ; let us be united amongst ourselves ; let us support our own press . A * ay , away with bickerings and quarrelins ; in our own ranks . No good can be done unless we are united amongst ourselves . We could break oppression down in one week were we bound together in an adamantine band of real sincerity . Think of O'Connor ' s advice , United we stand , divided we fall . Universal Suffrage and no Surrender . I remain , Brother Chartists , Yours , in the cause of liberty , John Campbell , General Secretary . IS , Adderley-street , Salford .
