CLAS 6 OW . —IurOBTANT PT 7 B 1 TC MEETI 5 G . —On ittSt Hondas evening , a meeting of the citizens was called by % Q 1 to bear a report from their delegates at the lite ' -convention , and to receive an account of the Btewwddhip of their worthy treasurer , Mr . George Sots , "for the last year ; also that they might adopt a petition to the Honse of Commons for the Charter , and « leet directors for the fntme government of the AssolikHnn . iit Broiralee was called to the chair , and ¦ ffcer stating the objects of the meeting , introduced Messrs Moir and Proudfoot , our delegates , -who gave fell satisfaction to their constituents , in reference to « ch and all their debts , in the lite Convention . The unanimous thanfcs ot the meeting was carried by acclamation to the two gentlemen . The next
businesstesng the adoption of a petition , Mr . John Colquhoun sored , and Con Murray seconded , " That the petition € rawn up by the English Executive be the petition of the inhabitants of Glasgow . " Mr . Robert Malcolm moved , and Mr . George Ross seconded , as an ameudsnenfc , " That this meeting adopt the petition emanating from the Scottish Convention . " After a pretty lengthened debate , in ¦ which the following individuals took part , Messrs . Proudfood , M'Millin , Watson , Martin , and another gentleman , whose name I did not learn , the amendment and motion were put from the chair , when the motion was almostunanimously cariiei The result was received with loud cheers . Mr . Ross then gave a fail detail of all the income and expenditure of the Association for the last year , which showed thai , wanting him , the Cosrtists of Glasgow would be often pnt to great inconvenience . I need hard ' y siy , tfcat there was not a man present that did not , from
Ills heart , -espond to a vote of thanks for the honest ¦« id f aithf nl services of Mr . Ross . A committee was then appointed to look after the petition , and to take every favourable opportunity of having it a 3 numerously signed as possible . Near to the conclusion Mr . Boss rose and said , that Beeing his amendment was lost , and the National Petition now adopted , be for one would go in with the majority , and do everything that lay in tos power to make that petition a bumper ; tiros setting an example of the pure spirit of democracy , ¦ whica it is to be hoped will be followed out by every Chartist In consequence of the lateness of the evening it was thought beBt to adjourn the meeting until Tuessiay , the 15 th current , for the purpose cf electing tiie members of the new directory . Let the men ef Glasgow be then at their past , that none may be put to the hslm who srenot fnlly in their confidence . A vote of thanks to Mr . Brownlee , tke chairman , closed the fcnsiness , anA the meeting dissalved .

At eight o ' clock , Mr . Joseph Wood , a working man , was called to fhe chair
by acclamation , who , in very eloquent terms , opened the business if the meeting , by detailing the object for which it was convened , and concluded by calling * upon Mr . Parkinson , of Bolton , to move the fir * t resolution , ¦ which was— "That it is the opinion of this meeting that the agitation now going on in this country by those persons calling themselves Corn Law Repealers , is an agitation based upon error , inasmuch as the Corn Laws are but 3 part of the evils , which have-arisen from class legislation ; we , therefore , pledge ourse . lve 3 to agitate for nothing short of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , namely , Universal Suffrage , Vets by Billot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation , No property Qualifica'Jon , and payment of Members to serve in
Parliament" Mr . Rinkin , of Manchester , in a speech replete with argument exposed the fallacies of the Corn law humbug . He made some very itringent remarks H to the capabilities of the land , the evils of machinery and the miseries of the people under the present vicious system . He concluded by seconding the resold tion . Mr . P . M . Bropby , of Dublin , next addressed the met ting en the evils of class legislation and the disunion of the working classes . He concluded by moTing the following resolution . "That it is ths opinion of this meeting , that an assoeiation should be immediately formed in Halshawmoor , founded npon the foregoing resolution , to aid our brethren throughout Great Britain anl Ireland , to obtain by legal and constitutional means , those rights which class
legislation has so long withheld , ana which it is onr opinion emnofc be obtained , until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . " Mr . Pickering in a short but effective speech , supported Mr . Peter M . Brophy ' a motion- Tie * h * nVa ef the meeting was given by acclamation to Messrs . Barnes , for giving the use of their school to the people . A vete of thanks to the Chairman was moved by Mr . Parkinson . Thoma 3 Barns , Esq . rose to ascond it , and was received by tbe meeting vith deafening cheers ; he said with some little exception , he asreeA with all that had fallen from the speakers ¦ who had addressed tbem that evening ; he was for the ¦ whole of the principles contained in tbe People's
Charter ; he was convinced that if there was to be exceptions to the giving of the Suffrage on account of the ignorance of thepecple . that that exception would extend , in a great measure , to the aristocracy and great numbers of those who now held the franchise ; he congratulated the workingmen of Hallshaw Moor upon the manner they had conducted themselves that evening , sad he felt confident that nothing short of the principles of the Charter could effectually ameliorate the condition or the whole peeple -, he concluded by seconding the vote of thanks to the Chairman . The meeting then asparated , after giving three hearty cheers for the People ' s Charter .

Barton to move the first resolution , Which denounced Peel's plan as an insult to a perishing people , and concluded by submittingnoremedy whatever to tne meeting , by which the people might redress their wrongs .

lose to propose a remedy , not only for the Corn Laws but all other bad laws which disgraced the statute book .

The meeting or : lecture was announced for seven o ' clock . At twenty minutes to eight he made his entry to an escited i audience , composed of men of all grades and opiuions , I not a few of whom were " noisy Chartists , " " dem ' a- ' gogues , " " rebels , " " plunderers , " and " descicablefactions , " some of the gentlemanly terms used by the mild and mealy-mouihed Doctor of Plymouth ' s free ! trade { but not language ) clique . He was asked if he -would agree to discussion ? He said " Yes . it to the ; question . " At it he went , and U 3 ed many Chartist i arguments , amid the cries of " He ' s a Chartist , " &c i
He proved , to demonstration , clearly , that the Corn ; laws were bad and injurious ; but he did not shew . the evils arising from the over-application of machinery , ' nor yet of the torments and horrors of a factory hellI ' Upon finishing his lecture , he was immediately con- ; fronted by Mr . T . Y . Smith , one of the active Rads of . the " far west" He was proceeding to free discussion , \ npon whieh the Chairman and lecturer started like I blited bulls to know why be dared to mention the : Charter , and this before he ever mentioned it , proving ; the lamentable prejudice and ignorance of the middle i classes , bankers , doctors , and gentlemen ; and all of the \ well-bred breed roared and whelped like pups un-:
kennelled , and swore that Chartism should not be j introduced . Tie lecturer then said he would not enter i the lists of discussion , but he wonld consent to answer ! qoestioas . Not willing he should escape , Mr . Smith ! asked him how it was that while periodicals , pamphlets , i newspapers , &o . had increased , the printers were in s j « t » te of starvation ? This he denied , and said that \ ignorance and a want of demand for mental productions i ¦ was the cause . A vote of thanks merely was returned , j aod three cheers were given for the Charter .

HANLST , Staffoxtohibe Potteries . —Mr . Jas . Duffey lectured here in the George and Dragon Room , on Thursday evening last , to an attentive audience . ABERDEEN . —The Aberdeen Charter Union met last Monday night , Archibald M'Donald in the chair , who delivered a short address on the state of parties , < fce . Mr . James MTherson moved " That a committee of seven persons be appointed to consider the plan of organization adopted by the ( convention . Preparations were then made for the reception of O' Brien . It was agreed to have a fruit festival ; admission 6 d . Several other matters came before them of little interest , and the meeting separated .
FORFAR . —The One Movement . —On Monday , the 5 tb , tin inhabitants of this place were convened to confide .- the adoption of a petition for the Charter , and to arrive at some decision relative to the late local reports given in the Dundee Chronicle and the conduct of the reporter . Mr . Thomas Syme , vicechairman , presided . The Secretary read at length both the National Petition and that of the Scottish Convintion . Mr . D . Calender moved the adoption of the former , which Mr . J . Miller seconded . Some little altercation followed ; and on the Chairman inquiring if any moved for the Convention Petition , Mr . A . Yeomon did so , but could find no seconder , even when appeal was made from the chair ; and the National was carried without ene solitary hand in opposition . Mr . T . Davis congratulated the meeting on the sound policy of their choice , briefly commented upon the objections commonly urged agaiust the document , of their approval , regretted anything
and everything tending to promote division or partisanship in the Chartist movement . He cared little , as an affair of policy , for the extent of matter contained in the Petition ; it would be satisfactory to him if five millions mada the simple declaration of five monosyllables— " We are of one mind . " Still he could no : but regard as a master stroke the introduction of so many and so great evils into a preamble , which , however disagreeable , could scarcely fail to greet the ears of Honourable Members . A minute of the Chartist Association directing reference of the second question beiDg read , Mr . M'Quauie arose , and stated that he could not allow that , by the Chartist press , our movement should be thrown in the back ground to give prominence to Corn Law repeal agitation , without notice . After the discussion in the East Kirk , where Mr . Davies rendered snch good service , he could not but reprehend the conduct which so meanly misrepresented the facts of vh % case . Tha numbers of the Chronicle
containing notices of the affair not being at hand , Mr . Davies said he would rather not have meddled -vvuh the matter at all , as it would appear to be personal in its nature ; he would , however , jast state fiat the inhabitants of Forfar , after the meeting in the church , would be well able to judge of the desert of the report in question . He thought the Chartists did themselves credit by disavowing the statements put fortn in the Dundee Chronicle , many of . he friends waited upon him , and very pressingly urged that he would draw up a report to be forwarded by the Secretary , with their instructions . Tha 5 report was prepared , sent , and delivered to . the acting editor , and the one complained of in--erced . Let any one who was present read the
report in the Scar of the following week , and decide on the consistency of the one or the other . The Secretary wrote for explanation ; the onus was thrown on the reporter ; and , at a glance , hastily , as mast have been the case , he wrote a temperate , but arm explanation , requesting it might appear , and the notices set aside as personality . If it were so , who made it such ? Having permitted the one , the other was due . Why not give it upon its own merits ? It the reporter acted unjustly , the manager did no less so . Tne shareholders in Forfar might come to what resolutions they please . Let them , however , consult the' interest' of putting the Chronicle in their own pockets , having no other readers . Let not any one go away with the
misrepresentation that I persuaded you to withdraw support . He did no such thing . Tiiey nevertheless would have to see to it , that their cause ia not injured at their own expence . Mr . Millet would suggest that the managers be requested to appoint t ' aeir own reporter , but to change the present one . The last resolntion of the Manchester delegates , which he wonld read , convinced him that Adam was bound neck and heels to the repeal agitationto the supplanting of Chartism ! Mr . M'Quattie then proposed , " Tnat the late reports of the Dundee Chronicle having given so much dissatisfaction , we denounce the reporter , and resolve , if he be continned in that capacity to withdraw onr support from the paper . " The announcement that a meeting uf shareholders had determined to recommend tbe retention of Adam as reporter , occasioned the stringency of the proceedings . The above was
unanimously passed . Mr . M'Qaattie would also call upon the meeting to repudiate the personal attack upon Mr . Davies , who had received the usual countenance and support ; and which he so truly deserved . Also passed without contradiction . A committee was appointed to prepare , and forward a report , which , however , though sent , has not appeared . Mr . Whittel's letter to ministers of the gospel having been introduced , the secretary was ordered to procure a quantify . Enquiry being made if any intelligence of a visit from Mr . O'Brien had arrived , it was replied to in the negative ; but was daily ex-Eected , letters having been sent both to Glasgow ajid lundce . We earnestly hope Mr . O'Brien will favour us at tha earliest opportunity . The failure of the League Conference in the metropolis will invigorate Chartism in Forfar . The whole Bill and nothing less 1
AX . LOA . —The Plague Black in thb Face . —The anti « Corn Law Association of Alloa , held a public meeting , on the evening of the 8 th inst ., in the Tabernacle , Alexander Paton , Esq ., in the chair . Mr . Abram Duncan asked if he would be allowed to take part in the proceedings , being favourable to the abolition of the Corn Laws ; but as his plan for their abolition was different from theirs , though in conformance with the opinions of nine-tenths of thoFe at ihi 3 meeting , he would , with the permission of the chairman at some subsequent stage of tbe proceedings move his amendment . The Chairman said that if Mr . Duncan was a member of the anti-Corn Law Association of Alloa he would , otherwise he could not be permitted to take any part in the
business of the evening . Mr . Duncan then addressed the meeting at some length , by stating the working men of Alloa , would now see who were their real friends and sworn enemies ; they would now see the spirit and intentions of the manufacturers and clergy who were this night to address them ; there was among them a Chartist priest , and ¦ h e had no hesitation in applying to him words that could not be mistaken—that he was a deceiver and a traitor to his own professed principles ; he , Mr . Duncan , would now retire from the meeting , in conformity with a rule be had laid down for himself in such cases . Knowing that the working men of Alloa would treat the hypocrites , who had denied him the right to take part in a public meeting
affecting his interests according to their deserts . When Mr . Duncan retired , about three hundred accompanied him , anxious to have a lecture from him In the Chartist Hall , when he delivered a lecture upon Corn Law repeal , showing its pernicious tendency without accompanying measures , which the Charter only could carry . ' It was then moved and seconded , " That as the majority in the Chartist Committee had of late acted very supinely in the cause , and as some of them now openly had gone over to the Corn Law repeal party , a Committee be now elected , men of kuown principle and tried integrity , to act in unison with the other Associations in the district . " The five following were then nominated : —Messrs . James Douglas , David Thompson , John Stewatt , Andrew Harrower , and Peter
Cowie , who were unanimously elected . Mr . Duncan then asked if the National Petition had been adopted in Alloa ? The answer was , No . This was a proof of the traitorous conduct of the Committee . Mr . Robert Snadden then asked Mr . Duncan which petition he meant I Mr . Duncan said the petition of the English Executive , as he knew of no other National Petition . It Wii then agreed that a public meeting should be got up without delay for the adoption of the National Petition . Mr . James Douglas , Chairman of the meeting , gave an address containing a great quantity of statistical information , conceived in powerful language , which was well received by the meeting . After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , this important meeting broke up . We may
add that when Mr . Duncan left the meeting of the anti-Corn Law Association , its Chairman oongratulited them upon the benefit of the rule they had adopted to allow none to take any part in the proceedings bnt such as they could trust , when it was bawled out , " Can you trust the traitor V Several ineffectual attempts were made by one Tough ,, a Chartist preacher , ! by ^ the Rev . P . M'Doual , a sort of a dim wee light of the Secession Church , and another preacher named Andrew Nichol , who is well known here , to address the meeting , without success . The Petition was read , and from every corner of the house voices were crying " put it to the vote , pat it to the vote ; ye daaraa put it to the vote ; try your strength . " The Chairman declined , saying the Petiticn had been adopted by the Committee , and that was sufficient . The meeting became clamorous for the money they had paid at the door , but some needy
brother of the League had ran off with it . The Chairman and his clerical friends , finding themselves baffled at every point , dissolved the meeting . There was thon one unanimous shout for Mr . David Harrower to address the meeting , ( one of the delegates from this quarter to tho GlasgowConvention . " To this the Chairman gave all the opposition in his power , but was compelled to give way . Mr . Harrower then addressed them in a lengthened speech , full of facts and statements bearing on the question before them , and ended with a challenge to any of the Corn Law League , or clergy , to discuss the question with him . The Chairman asked if aay ono wa 3 willing to discuss the question with him , several voices crying out , " Just do it yoursel ' , Chairman . This he declined for reasons best known to himself . This terminated this rather remarkable meeting .

SBUTPORD , neaii Banbury , Oxfordshire — We have had an association of Chartists in this village about eight months , and although our principles have been denounced in the church , and contentment is preached in the chapel they are fast gaining ground . Indeed the calumnies of one Rev . gentleman of the chnrch establishment , were so exceedingly vile , that we thought it our duty not to ltt them pass unnoticed , we accordingly , through the medium of the Star , respectfully requested him to substantiate the assertions he had made , offering , at the same time , to abandon our agitation if he would piove them to be
correct However , to this very reasonable request he has not yet dared to reply , althongh the " ignorance " of the working classeB might have promised him an easy victory . So much for the Rev . gentleman ' s desire to rescue us from that bell he so unmercifully consigned us to . But the days of priestcraft are fast passing away , we have learned to think for ourselves . We hold weekly meetings , and have adopted a memorial to the Queen , praying for a free pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jonas . We have adopted the National Petition , and canvassed Shutford and the neighbouring villages for signatures .

OLDHAM— Mr . J . West , of Macclesfield , delivered .-two . v lectures '' ' on the subject of the Corn Laws , on Thursday and Friday , the 10 th and llth , in the Town Hall . A large number assembled to hear him . Mr . John Crowder waa called to the chair . Mr . West delivered two sound logical addresses , in which he proved that though the Corn Laws were unjust in principle ,, they were not the main cause of the distress of the people . He contended they were only aa effect . He went back to the year 1793 , and traced the' real cause to its origin , and brought his hearers up to the present time , explaining , as he proceeded , every particular incident in such a manner as to produce conviction on the minds of the most obdurate . He ably defended the position taken by the Chartists for the last two years , and upset every argument adduced by the Corn Law repealer ? .

npHE Readers of this Newspaper will have seea JL advertised every ¦ week for a long period an account of the benefits arising from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS . These accounts , from their undoubted truth , and the recommendations of parties who have tried the Medicine , have produced a very large sale , consequent on such recommendations .

Life Pills , " in white letters , on a red ground engraved thereon , without which it ia an IMPOSITION .
• OLD PARR ! Life is npt life , unlesss'tia blessed with health , Tho' rich in fame and unincumbered wealth , Tho ' under sunny sky or frigid polar star , Life without health is nought—then hail to thee old p arr J What mighty treasures are by thee revealed j More than Peruvia ' s mines can ever yield ! Not rich Goleonda ' s glittering diamond rare Can purchase health , —then hail to thee oti > parr I 'Twaa thy high purpose to make known to man , The power to lengthen out on earth , his little span Of life ,--which erst was woe and cara , But now is bright with joy , thro * thee old parr !
Thousands late racked with agonising pain , Now feel hew vigour thrill thro' every vein ! Disease rid longer shall their pleasures mar ; They bless the day they heard of thee old parr ! Hail glorious booh ! hail gift benign ! Go forth from pole to pole , to every clime , Let every land , both near and far , Possess the blessing left by thee ¦ ¦ ' - ; ¦ ¦ ¦ . ; ¦ ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ '" .
