      SOTJTHASSPTOIT . PUBLIC MEETING OF THE TRADES IN BEHALF OF THE 5 JAS 0 N 3 . A very numerously attended public meeting was held i in this fco ^ ni on Tuesday evening , Dec . 2 l 8 t , tj take \ into consideration the best 52 ' = ans to assist the masonB ; now on strike at the Xsw KouFts of Parliament , aad j to txpress public opinion as to tie justice of their . pro- • , ceedings . Tne meeting was held in " a very spaciuus j ; and comin&dious bulled called the " Lobe Room , " ! ,

      capable of holding from jcven t $ tight imndrcd persona ; this was £ i " ea -with , a very Ettentive and rtspectable audicaico . In this case , as in miny others ; the harmony of the meeting was not suffered to proeaed without "being disturbed by thaover-Eiwin ? love and kindness of a chaplain of same U =-ii > n Workhouse trespassing hU pragmatical observations upon the attention of the meeting in energetically fexhortinj them to " F&ir Gjd and hon&ar the rich ! ! " * This and a few other minor interruptions drew forth much disapprobation from the gre » body 01 the meetjui

      sir . Hehse , carpenter , was KUiea to tte chair . He said that tli&y were called together to express . their symuithy towards a vtry ill-used and oppressed * class of "British subjects . He was not himself minutely acquainted wiih the whole of the proceedings con-» ecltd with the strike of the masons ; he should leave that in tht Lands 6 f the delegates present , whe would explain ths affair . He called npoa all present , who had placed Mm in the situation which he held , to preserve onier , whilst the various speakers delivered their sant : ments . He then called upon Mr . Turner , mason and ilfclaests . to address the msetin ? .

      Mr . ; U £ XEB then rose and said that he had wcrfked nnder the tinploj' of Aden , for fourteen montia , and he had invariably found him to be an outrageous character in all his jsrocetdiegs with the wort-people ; sach was his disposition , that if there waa anything en Xha work ihat addad , ia" the laast , to the comforts o ; his wsrk-people he wuuld destroy it ; in fact , what he was about to state be would dtf ? either' G-rissell , Peto , or Allen , to contradict ; he being an eye-witness to many of his tyrannical acts—acts which were truly disgusting and disgracifcl to him as a man . After having . recapitulated the many charges brought against Allen , Which have already sppeared in the columns of the Star , and are well understood by its readers , Mr . T . sat cown . Tue Chiihha > " then calkd upon Mr . Jennincs , a mason aEd lielegaie , to address the meeting , t ? Lo , in a Terr neat soeech dii honour io tits cause hs cdvoeated .

      JJr . J&ssiyGs sa d , he felt sorry thtt the business ¦ Whica he was called upon to perform ha I not fallen into more able hands than his . He felt a dtficieEcy-of language on the present rieeisi . j Ti to depkt the shameful character of Alien . He had vrorked under him , * nd , therefore , wliat he stid was bo ; from hearsay , bn % frora » has he had s&en , ami from -what he had also felt . On one oeiasion , he recollected 3 most glaring pie ;* of injustice committed by him . It was a rcqnest on the part ef some of the workmsn , to have z certain dqpr opened tha * was locked , ¦ which ¦ woald have saved thtin much trouble and loss of time in going to aad from their meals : but such "was the stubborn as > 2

      TindLitivs ter ^ ptr Ailer . , that this most reasonable request was denied them , and the denial Was accompanied wnh sn insulting threat , that if they Were dis * at . sfird they mi ^ ht pack up their traps and be ofL" He had 'knosra cases where Alien had cuied up men from the country , hundreds of miles from tfcsir home , ' aad had discharged them for the most trMicg caus =. He could go on the whole of the night enumerating incidents of irjastictf -endured by the masons before they resorted to thiir last alternative— . the strike . He concluded a very interesting speeech , much to the satisfaction cf the meeting .

      Mr . Palsek , shoemaker , then moved the first reselutian . Ha spoke w ; th ere ^ t energy and effect , and said that- tbe power which they eompi&intd « f was of tbeir own creation . Five men in a natural state of society were sufficient to restrain the violence of any ens man in it Br . t how -vzs it that in the present civilised society , whica boasted of so high a state ef cultivated human n ^ iure , one man ( as in the ose *? Ailek ) was enough to . outrs . se the rights , the liberties , and ibe feelings cf 270 cf his fellow-beirgs ? Such was an anomolona st-ua of society , and railed aloud for an organic change in the instiru : iors of tfca eoantry . such a change as w . > u ! d give unto all fqnal political powtr . ( Cheers -J Thrn and net till then could man breathe the pure exhilarating breath of freedom . — ( Applause . ) Mr . Palmer spoke for same length of time in a pleasing strain of eicqaence , and . concluded by moving the foilo-wiug resolution : —

      " That this meeting fully jmtiSes the conduct of the masons lately empU . ye . i at the New Houses ef Pjj . ve . - Xnent , in withdrawing from their employment until such time as the iyrant ( Allen ) is deprived of tbe authority which , by nis inhuman conduct , he has shown bjmstlf unfit to hold . " Sir . HcLBEii ; in a shor t and manly speech , seconded the resolution , which being put frcm the efcair , waa carried UDanimously . Mr . Guesm . a"w , mason , moved the second . resolotioa : — " That this meeting view with feelings of contenpt the mean manner in which Grissell and Peto have met the cbanr ? s brought against their foreman , . Allen , and deem them , by npholding him in his outrageous conduct , alike guilty of the charges which have bsen go substantially proved aL'ainat Allen . "

      Mr . Roberts , stoker , seconded the resolution .- Be knew the condition of the working classes to be ¦ wretched ; ce knsw they sufiVred privations , because they were nos represented . He hoped tbey would 1 * more unit- ; - ! , fortneir jost protection . ( Cheers . ) The manner in which the call ef the masons -had bees responded to generally by theworking c ' a ^ ses , rtflett = ^ l the greatest b-CFnour -cpon them . He would ask new could Grissell aad P ^ -to but snpjxyil Ailea in his conduct when they knew that their interest wes identified ¦ wi th it . Tnat they eiideavoured to get . their wort

      done as cheap as possible , to meet the conditions of their estimates , wnich he heard were £ 143000 lower ¦ ttian atiy otbtr that were ssiven in . This then accounted for tha treatment which the men safffred . They ( the . contractors ) found thr . t tbey could not finish the works at the rate of wages they were paying , so taey adopted every expeditnt to forco as much labour from the workmen as possible ; but he hoped there was a day not fir off whfcn the working classes would be able to resist every act of oppression . Mr . Roberts , after a few other remarks , rttirtd amidst much cheering .

      The Chairhas teen put tne resolution ^ and at was carried unanimously . ¦ Mr ; MrBBAY . shoemaker , in a brief speech , moved—* ' That this meeting p ^ ss a vote of censure on those unprincipled men , who have been so base as to go and supplant thtir feilow--wortmen bow on strike , and tiat this meeting consider tbey merit the contempt of . every working man in the British empire . " Mr . Tcrses Eeconded the resolution . The Chaikhas pus it ta the meeting , and it was erried unanimcuEly . Mr . BAE . TLETT , shoemaker , then came forward-to move a resolution to the following efftct : — * .-" That it is the bennuen dnty of this meeting to eupi > oit , by avery ptcunisiry means , the masons now on strike . "

      Mr . Bartle't spoke at grest length upon the evils of exclusive legislation , and was frequently cheered by the meeting . He said that until they gst the People ' s Cbarter they wonld ret have a salutary corrective for all their miijiold gri # vascas . 2 dr . W £ EiS " britfly seconded the Tesoiution , which was agreed-to . After a few remarks from Messrs . Owes , Palmer , and others , the Keeting broke up , much eeligttsd with ita proceedings , by giving three treinendouB chetrs fci the first Chartist mteting in Southampton . A good collection was made for the masons at the door .

      new era in the science of humbug , for the middle classes , being no longer enabled to frighten the people by their nonsensical sham proclamations , signed by ei ^ ht justices , who only wanted long ears to finish them , had , iu the pknitude of their sagacity , employed a steam-boiler to . hL < s him down ; but like ail their other paltry machinations , he would render it of no efL-ci ; .

      and was certain that nothing could prevent their ultimate success .

Payne , on the body of Robert Jenkins , aged 60 , an&uctioneer ' s porter , wfeo died suddenly j at his lodgings in a miserable hovel in Field-place , ; Hoiborn , from whence tbe body had been removed j to tne above ina . Catherine Crawley , a fellow- j lodger , Johu Ready , the landlord , and Bridget hi 9 wife , concurred iu ' stating that deceased had lodged { in the hours about two months , that ho did not com- 1 plain of iilnes ? , or say that he was in want of food , bai he had a sisght cough , and the only food he was ever seen to take in the house wa 3 occasionally a supper , coni-istiDg of three or four pounds of polaioes boiled , and drinking the water they were

      boiled in . On Christmas Day , he only ate » few turnips wanted . The deceased slept on a wretched bed , on the floor , without any covering , and four other persons slept in the same room . iie owed his landlady five shillings , and told her en Monday moraing last that he would pay bsr in the evening , as he expected to get some Curiitmas boxes . Oa his return lie eaid " I have fared pretty well ; 1 have had three glasses of gip , some beer , beef , asd bread and cheese , bni havo got no money . " His landlady then threatened to turn him out , but ultimately allowed him to eo to bed .

      On Tnesday morning , about nine o ' clock , deceased was discovered lying on hia right side quite dead .- ; - Dr . Lynch , after describing the wretched condition in which he found the deceased , stated that the body presented a very emaciated and jauadioed appearance , and was partially dropsical . He waa of opinion that there had been some orgaxic disease soing on , which , he had no doubt , was accelerated by privation , aud he should say , as he died so tranquilly , death was caused by a rapture at the heart . The landlady said that the deceased had been advised to apply for parish relief , but had refused . Verdict—** Died from natural causes . "

      A short time ago , there was dug up in the garden of E . C . Knubley , Esq ., at Shatton , in Lorton , a shilling coined in the reign of Q / ieen Elizabeth , and bearing date 1568 .
