FROM OUR SECOND EDITION OF LASTn WEEK . THE RAGE OF THE MILLIONAIRES . The course pursued by sTippery Peel , with reference to the sliding scale , and the Total Repeal , " has exasperated the MiUionare Masters and their tools into frantic madness ; or , at all events , they ¦ was : folks to believe so . livery means will be used to "kick up a ferment . " The men who could so lately throw up their caps , and shout , and petition and labour vita all their little might 3 for little Lord Johs ' s eight-shmin ^^ rf-dnty-free-trade-incorn scheme , will affect indignation the mosfc
intense at Peel's supposing them capable oflistenipg to any thing , or agreeing to anything , or permitting anything to be passed , but " Total Repeal , " In all probability we shall lave some famous exhibitions of " strong language , " " nervous appeals , " "«" - cellcni recommendations , " and "unmeasured denunciations . " if th 8 people will bat humour the hungry crew so far as to listen to them . The tricks that" were played off during the hambsg "Reform" agitation will be again attempted * f ^ hdther Bristol and Nottingham have been again selected as ihs th ^ rTes of the Wbi s " torch-men ' s "
atrc » oi : ies . we csjinot say , not being in their secrets ; but that these things would not be at all scrap ' ed at to serve Whig purposes , we have sufficient evidence ia the first number of the Chronicle which " nas issued from the press since the development of Psel ' * 5 scheme . Tze dirty wretch v . ho prriorms the work of ihe mUfcnsires , commences his article by Faying : — " ' "¦ Ye almost dread to try the patience of tha nation . ty a c ? mniiuiicatJoa tf the scheme gravely proposed last idj : at by Sir Robert Peel . " "X And he concludes his dinirile by piptending to entreat taa peblic to continue the ^ Hfeiseworthv conduct which has inst so poor a reauitsl . "The
sehcTae , says he , we know , is calculated to incense them ; bus we irusi they will bear with their wrev . 55 . We entreat more especially all ivfueniial person 5 io exert themselves to hodktuts the reseat - men : of thoss vrhom their sv .

Chronicle , who are so significantly called upon " to exert them selves to moderate (?) the resentment of those vrhe = e suiEeric ^ s may hare made them DESPERATE 1 " No one else , Certainly , thinks of " passing tie boundaries of tha law ' . " We assure you that " the public , " when they think of " passing tbe icuuca . rle 2 of the law ' for a political measure , will look for 023 in which they hive some interest ; not for Total Repeal , " which , under present
circuir-Et&nc ° s , would coster benrni only upon the Millionaire ^ lillocrats , and pmFEci Errs upon tbe Labourers , . bo ; h agricultural and manufacturing . No , no , yix . Chronicle . It will be of no use for your " IrHaential persons i-o exert themselves ' to this end . t ; The public" will but laugh at you ! It is unnecessary that we should caution the people against ths " tricks of the traders " It is nnnecsssary that we should bid th-2 m remember that whQe the '" influential persons" who" exerted themselves to moderate (?) tha resentment of the DESPERATE" at BrJsrol and Nottingham
escaped = C 9 t-free rrcm harm and secured their oirn political ends , tha poor dupes whom they incited to " DESPERATION" were hanged ! ! and transported . Is is unnecessary that we should ask them to look on with coolness , and watch ihe antics of the wretches who so lately crammed into their gaols aud infernal Hell-holes five hundred working men , for asking |^ r a poliiieal measure thai would have benefitwdemie people ! It is unnecessary that we should bid them to take care that if there be any " passing of the boundaries of the law , " it shall be the iMDIionaries themseires who so transgress ; and that they do not permit a single working man to be pushed forward
by the " inflaenliaL-, " into a position of dan £ er 01 harm . It is quite unnecessary that we should- do any of these thinjrs . Ths people have set their hearts upon " their own work ; they have resisted all the attempts of the " League" to . seduce them from the allegiance they owe to their own order ; and they are not now going to permit themselves to be made the irols of the " influential" who are so kindly bidden to " moderate U ) the resentment of the DESPERATE . " No , no ! Tbe people will leave the milRonalre millocrats and ths aristocracy to fight out by themselves the battle they have entered upon ; while they prosecute thtir own ends , see to the signing of their own
NAT 2 OKAI ,, and prepare for the due assembling of their own Convention , to urge upon the " Parliament" the claims of
4 , 000 , 000 OP PEOPLE 11 And to do this , they will need no itflnantial persons" to " exert themselves to moderate (?) the resentment of the DESPERATE P They know their own work ; they know their own power ; they will use that power only for the accomplishment of their own work , not the work of faction ; and if the "Leaguers" desire to get ont of their "de ? peratt " struggle with their brother marauders of the aristocracy , without defeat , they must lay aside theii
exclusive class pretensions , asd "league"' with tbe people for right—the right of the whole people—tho light of the People ' s Charter . The people will be on the alert , and stick tbe Charier right bang under the nose of every mother ' s sou of them taat dares to aek for popular support against Peel , and for B Total Repeal .

( Colon-1 SibThobp wished to ? sk the First Lore > of the Treasury a very important question relative ; to the resolutions which were propostd to the House \ last night . It was whether it was the intention of . ] her Majesty ' s Government to make any alterations 1 ] with regard to the manner in which the duties are now taken ; whether they were to be taken when j the corn come 3 into the country , or wheH it is taken out of bond .

He wished ¦ to know whether it was the intention of Government to introduce into the Corn Laws that clause which ! . prohibited tha itDportadon of flour into Ireland , or j whether the same law would apply both to England f and Ireland . This tubvet was * one of great imuresi to the Irish , but if tbe Right Hon .

_ Sir Robert Pebl , in opposing xhe motion , did so simply on ; ko ground of expediency , and conformity t < 3 c ? rabli : hed usages . Mr .

HULL . PUBLIC MEETlNG . w FREEMASON'S HALL , ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED COTTON SPINNERS . Considerable excitement has been prevalent in Hull , for some few days back , in consequence of the turn out of the weavers , aud , ultimately , we understand , of all the hands employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills . About three years ago , one of the Hells of modern civilization , a Cotton Mill was erected in tho Groves , a joint-stock concern , upon a somewhat extensive scale , the property of a company of speculators , most of them entirely ignorant of the business , and conducted in all its practical operations , by a Manager , whose business , of course , was to see that whatever became of tbe" ** workies , " the " Capital" of the Company should return a fair per centage , besides paying his and his assistants' salaries , the amount of which we do not know , though wa have been told that they are enormous .
Factory workers were induced , by representations of good wages and plenty of work , to immigrate from the factory districts of Cheshire and Lancashire , only to fiad out that they had made an exchange greatly for the worse . The poor creatures struggled with their fate for a long time in silence ; but the patience even of Englishmen does , not always last , and they , at length , made a show of resistance in the shape of a "turnout . " During the past week placards were issued , of which the following i » a copy ;—
" Tyranny ^ oppression , and reduction , at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills !!—An appeal of the turn-out cotton weavers , of the above mills , to the inhabitants of Hull . —Friends , and Brother Operatives , —It is with feelings of deep regret , that wo have to inform yon of some of the over-bearing acts of oppression which has been imposed upon us for a considerable length of time at the above factories , and the present attempt of the manager to oppress us Btill further ; -wh . ch is tbe cause of our present turn-out For a long time our wages have been lo ^ wctisg by degrees ; and they a re now such miserable pittances that they will scarcely keep us from starving- being on . average , for a two-loom weaver , ( a clas 3 of workpeople from sixteen to fifty years of age ) , noi more than six shillings per week ; and for
which , we have to labour hard from twelve to fourteen hours per day . The maiter thinking these ' good wa 368 * too much , now makes another attempt to lower them still more ; the circumstances of which , are as follows : — Early last week , there were put upon the looms , what are called " self-acting temples , " which are to us of no benefit whatever , but for which , the inauager told us that our ' good wages' would be reduced , by taking therefrom , to tho amount of twopence in the shilling . Having put up with redactions like this , time after time , we determined to do so no longer ; and the whols of us that were favoured * with the ' self-acting temples , ' immediately left our work * and appointed a deputation to wait upon tho manager , to try if they could reason with him . and show htm the injustice which he
wanted to indict upon ua ; accordingly the deputation waited npon him , -whom he called a set of madmen , who did not know when they had good masters ; that their wag « were reduced on account of the accursed Corn Laws !! That they had ' good -wages' still ; that he would not be talked to by them ; and that they were to be off about tbeir businesr , as he had nothing more to * ay . In this condition are we placed by the grindiug itfluence of Mammon . We would also state , that in all otter cotton districts where the " Etlf-acticg temples" are used , the workmen receive better wajes than we did without them ; in fact , cur wagss generally are considerably lower . For instar co , we receive for weaving 73 yards , Is . 5 tL , and for the very tamo kind of woik in Lancashire , Che-

shire , &c , the wovkmen receive for weaving 60 yards , is . 86 , ; and some : of our fellow-wprkmen have b 9 en reduced in their wages , within the last fifteen months ; to the amount of 15 s . per week , and yet ' our ' miastars say we are well paid / And having been entrapped feeraj by lying agents , from the cotton districts of Liueashire and Cheshire , we have been used ¦ wotGetbaa brutes ; the manager knowing there is no other factory for us to flee to in this district Numerous sots of diabolical tyranny , which we have not room to mention here , will be given you in hand-bills . To conclude , we now beg to solicit your assistance , bopinr , thereby that we may be enabled-to resiat such infamovs tyranny and oppression , and trust that we shall not make this
appeal to your sympathies in vain . Authorised peraons , appointed by the ' Relief Committee , ' will attend upon benevolent persons of all classes , to : , give every . - " . necessary information / and to Bolicib their pecuniary aid . Signed , by order , S . Healey , hon . Bee Committee Room , Groves , February 1 st , 1842 . ' Much excitement was produced by the appearance of these placards ; and an attempt at a coatradiction to their statements was made in the Hull Rockingham . ¦ Abxious to afford every opportunity for inquiry and investigation , ^ the men made arrangements . for a public meeting on the Monday evening , wmch was convened by tho folio win 2 placard : — ¦ ¦ - ¦ - ' -: -: ' ¦"' ¦ - ¦ • ' . - ' ¦ -, •• . : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ •; - •¦¦; .- ¦ ' ¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦

Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the door , to support the cotton weavers on ettikei ' The spacious hall , capable of holding more than 1000 persatis , was crowded to excess . Mr . Samuel Healy was called to tho chair . The Chairman read the placard calling tho meeting , and also a loiig
statement of facts cf tho most appalling charaqierj in reference to oppressions of the poor weavers arid spinuers in this den of horrors . Mr . James Ila&tirigton then addressed the meeting at some length , after which tho following resolution was moved by Mr . Lundjvand secbuded by Mr . Matthews :- ~ " That this meeting having heard wkh deep regret , tho appalling statements * that have been made ' respecting lap horrid oppressions practised upon the workmen einployedat the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills , 'by the manager thereof , do sympathise with tho men , and p ' edges itself to support them in their strike agaiust unparalleled oppression . " It was supported by i \ Ir HornBby and othersj and oarried uuauimously .
Mr . LuNDV then moved , and Mr .

Samuel Healey , for having so | promptly rendered assiatauce to our fellow townsmen in giving pubr licity to their base usago , through the press . " Mr . HKAtEY replied briefly to the resolution .

We do hepo that these suflfcring men will hot be permitted by tho virtuous , asd , geucraliy speaking , well-off population of Hull , to bo borne down in this Etrugaie with an insidious and powerful foe : we would also extend this appeal to rheir brethroa of the factovy districts in Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire . Bad as the coucJiiion of the factory people in these districts is ^ their brethren of Hull aro in a worso condition . Do not , then ,. suffer the insatiate monster , ' capital , ' to make even .-that worse still . We are glad to learn that at the meeting on Monday night , almost every speaker , instanced tho present as another of the many evidences why the people should be UKaaimous ia their demand for the Charter as the only efficient measure of protection .

The announcemont was given by large flaming bills , and the affair having beou long iu-contemplation , had beon the tneans of creating extraordinary excitement betwixt the
Chartists and the Corn Xaw repealers . The Gaavtist Committee had , from the comnioncement , understood from ihe opposite party that full , fair , free , and equal discussion would bo allowed , and that each party would be allowed to incite what amount of taieut they thought necessary to support the views of the respective parties on the subject ; also that proper time would be given to every speaker , and the contest so justly regulated as to have man for man . It was , therefore , thought by the Ghartist Committee that the great guns of the Leaguo would be present . Thty oa their part invited Mossrs . West , Bell , Clarke , and Gri ^ SUi to support the Charter . The tima announced tor commencement of business was seven o ' clock ; but long before
that hour large numbers wero wendiug their way to the Town Hali , the place of meeting , and when the doors were thrown open there was a general rush to gain admittance , whilst the respectables came in by a side door and monopolised the platform and front seats . Considerable noise aud confusion took place , before a chairman could be appointed ; and at length Mr . John Brierloy was { duly eiecteo . It was then made known to the committee and meeting that the partiescallinRthe meeting had invited uorextra . talent ; on these grounds strangers Were prevented speakuig By this previously concerted trick they w » 6 enabled to bring their own speakers ready prepared to the meeting ; while the Chartists' arrangements were all thrown into disorder : they having arranged for
two townsmen to move and second au amendment if necessary ; but depending for discussion on the strangtrs present by invitation . To meet the exigency speakers had now to bo called from the meeting , unprepared of course with documents or any means of argument than their general knowledge of the subject . Notwithstanding all , howeverr , the Chartist amendment moved by Mr . Crowder , and seconded -by Mr . Smethurst , was oarried by a considerable majority : though of course the League man in tha chair declared it lost . The speeches of the Anti-Corn Law orators were of a character to deprecate as much as possible the perseverance of the Chartists . Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the partial and unfair deoieioa of tie Cbaimar ,

BRIGHTON . —A public meeting of the trades of Brighton was held on Thursday eveniEg , February lOjh , at the Bricklayer ' s Arms Inn , North-street , for the purpose of devising tho best means of assisting * the masons on strike in London and Woolwich , Mr . 1 . Scott , cordwainer , in the chair . The chairman addressed a , few preliminary observations ^ 0 the metting , regretting that the Meeting was called on the same evening as the visit of her Majesty to Brighton , which had doubtless prevented many from attending . Mr . Matthews , cordwaiher , proposed the first resolution . Mr . Matthews then read the following resolution : — " ¦ That , in the opinion of this meeting , the manly and moral courage exhibited by the masons on strike at the New Houses of
Parliamont * , Nelson ' s Monument , and at the Woolwich Dockyard , in resisting tha repeated tyrannies of George Allon , the foreman at the Houses of Parliament , deserves our utmost praise , and the support of every man desirous of preserving a general union of the working classes . " Mr , Matthews , at some lengthy and in a fine manner , supported the resolution , showing i ' no necessity of tirade ' s unions , and also the 'necessity of every workiug man joining a Chartist association . If , said he , tho coatraotorc , Gfrissell and Peto , had struck against the men ^ would the Government haye given their support to the men , as in the present instance they had done to their employers , in the most barefaced manner allowing the contract to be suspended , and giving
grants of the public /' Uflds to carry on their tyranniojI opposiiion against the masons 1 It had been reported , according to Dr . M'Douall ' s statement , at the White Conduit meeting , that tho ; Qaeea had presented Grissell and Peto £ 500 for tho loss they Ivad sustained ; He urged on thism to continue united and firm in their support to tho masons , and thus they would ultimately succeed in the attainnioht of their objects . Mr . ¦ ' 'Matthews concluded an excoUent address , and sat down loudiy applauded . Mr . Woodward , news agent , seconded tho resolution . hh : Gile 3 , carpDuter , in proposing the second resor lution felt no doubt but that they would pass it . The quarry men were entitled to the best thanks of this meeting , and it was ' ¦ ; rather- unfortunate that the
Government lent their influence to Grissell and Peto |; but ho hoped they were all of his mind of upholding these men to the last , though he was well convinced that * until the working classes had the power of sending their own men into . the House of Commons , no permanent benefit would accrue to theni . It wag ior tho want of political povyer that the Dorchester Labourers and the Glasgow Cotton Spinners were transported ; if they had a fair ropresentation in the Commons , thoso men would never havo been transported ; still he would support theso men , aiid he would leava the following resolution in their hands . Mr . Giles then resumed his seat by proposing , " Thar ; in the opinion 6 i' this meeting , the bold and decisive conduct adopted by the quarrymen
m refusing to prepare stone tor Gns 3 ou auJPcto , until a full ' . measure of jusiico has been conceded to the injured m ; i £ ons , whom to support in thtir just and honourable strike , havo sacrificed thsir employment , are pre-eminently entitled to our cordial thanks and sympathies , and whoso Conduct urges us on to renewed exertions , which , ere long , we trust will end in the complete triumph of the sons of industry . " Tho resolution was sr ^ onded by Mr . Jas , Patkor , plasterer , and britfly supported by Mr . John Scrase , mason , and Mr . Trower , carpenter . The Cliairman put the resolution which was adopted . Aj ' r . John Allen , carpenter , proposed the follo > vir . 'g resolution : —" That in the opinion : of this meeting the partial , unjust , and tyraunica . 1 conduct of the
Commissioners of Woods aud Forests , and the Board of Admiralty , in continually tendering- assistance to Grissell anil Peto against the cruelly persecuted misons now on strike , clearly proves that the Government , and those connected with them , ' - aro determined by every effort , in their power ti > . ' crush and put down any union | of the working classes ; it is thorefore necessary that extensively organised associations should exist amongst them for their mutual protection againat the combined efforts of those who live upon their industry . " Mr . Flower , shipwri g ht , Becondedithp resolution . Tho resolution was carried . Mrf Hemmings , mason , proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting do immedialolyaud collectively declare its determinawon to
assist the masoiis bo long as tho strika may continue , and that tlrb following gentiemeri do form a committee to carry out the said object , vjz : —Messrs . J . Alien , Benjamin King ; T . O . Lambort , William Hannister , John Rook , Thoiias Gibbs , N . Morling , Jwhu M . itthews , William White , EdwardHemniirigs , James Parker , W . Tenfold , Wm . Woodward , Geo . Giles , Jeremiah Herbert , and Henry Trueman ^ with power to add to their number . " Mr . Scraseia mason , secluded the resoluiion . Tho Chairman put the retolution proposed by Mr . Hemmiwgs , and il vras unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was presented to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair , and themeecing then gave three hearty loud cheers for the People's Charter , and three cheers for the success of the mason ? .

Leeds Cloth Markets . —There has been a better demand for all descriptions of manutacturad goods at the Cloth Hall , on the two last market days , and more particularly on Tuesday , when more goods wera taken out than has been the case for some time . We do not v however , hear that there ia any moredoing in warehouses at present . HuDDERSFiELD Market , Fkb . 15 . —Our Markefc this day was as bad as any we have had of late , few geods cnanged hands , and what did , was done at low ; prices ; indeed tho trade in general assumes a bad aspect , as every appaarance tends to make things worse . ¦ - ; ¦ ¦ ¦ . ••; " ¦ " .

' Ricin ^ oJJD Corn Market , Feb . 12 r-We ' ' had a good supply of ' -Grain-in our market to day , and the prices wero much the same as last wees . Wheat said from 6 s to 93 ; Oats 2 ^ to 35 6 d ; Barley , 4 s 3 d to 5 s ; Beans 53 to 5 s 6 d per bushel .
LiVEBPOQL Corn Market , Monday , Feu . 14 . — The week's imports of British Grain , Flour ; and Oatmeal , are of very small amouat , but from abroad we have received 13 , 067 quarters of Wheat , and 15 003 barrels of . FloUr , the whole of which however , are at present under bond . The general character of the trade has still been that of inactivity ; the partial exposition of the Ministerial measure on the subject of the Corn Lawci , seems yet to have rather increased the inertness than otherwise . The business in free Wheat has been unimportant at the
rates last quoted , and in bonded , the sale of a cargo of Barletta at 7 s . 5 d . per 701 bs . in the beginning of th& yveek , 13 the only transaction reported . Two or three parcels of Irish mealing Oats , of good quality , have found buyers at 2 s . 1 Id , to 3 s . per 451 bs ; Oatmeal in slow request at 27 s . 6 d . to 26 s . per 240 Ibs . Free Flour has met a moderate sale at 35 s . 6 d . to 36 s . for Canadian , 36 s . to 063 . 6 d . per 1961 byfor United States , For Barley , Beans , and Peas the demand has been quite in retail , and each of these articles has barely sustained its previous value .

London Corn Exchange , Feb . 14 . —There was a limited supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , ' and Suffolk , this morning , and only a moderate quantity of Barley , Beans , and Peas , from these counties , and the fresh arrivals of Gats were to a trifling extent , as well of English and Scotch as of Irish . The imports of Foreigu grain during the past week were not large . Since this day se ' nnight the weather has been variable , with rain on Saturday and yesterday , but this inoruiag is fine . Fine English Wheat met a free sale at an advance of Is . per qr . The demand was steady for goad Foreign Wheat , at rather higher rates ; the holders generally refusing former rates , somewhat checked business therein .
London Smithpield Cattle Market , Feb . 14 . — The arrivals of Beasts from the whole of our grazing districts , fresh up to this day ' s market , were not very fiumerous , but they were of considerably improved quality , especially as relates to those from Suffolk , Norfolk , and Herefordshire . Owing to the weather being unfavourable for slaughtering , and the immense quantities of meat on sale in the dead markets , received from Scotland , Yorkshire j : and the West of England , the Beef tradehere , hotwithstandins there was a fair attendance of dealersto-day , was in a very distressed state . Some few of the primest Scot 3 , however , sold at 4 s . 6 d . per stone of 8 tb . ; but other qualities of Beef had again a downward
tendency , and a clearance was not made without considerable difficulty ; The number of Stock now in the outskirts of the metropolis , intended for this market , arc comparatively small . From Scotland , per steamers and sailing vessels , about 200 Scots and 3 t ) 0 Sheep came to hand in admirable Condition , scarcfljr any of them being affected by the so much complained of epidemic . ; With Sheep we were fairly supplied , but there were very few really prime old Downs offering ; such , therefore , sold on full 08 tcood terms 83 were those noted on this day s ' enhight ; bu t Konts , Kentish half-breds , Leicesterc , and
