      BIIiSTON . —On Thursday eveniBg , the usual weekly meeting of the National Charter Association , -was" held in their sp&cions rooms , and so great -was the anxiety of the public to hear our highly esteemed and talented lecturer , 3 Ir . Mason , that for an hour before the time appointed for commencing business , the place "was croTrded to suffocation , and hundreds could not gain admittance . A working man -was called to 'the chair , \ rho in a brief manner introduced Mr . Mason to the TFaiung multitude , amidst bursts of applause , which macs the Com La-w Clique , not far distant , look like ghosti ilr . Mason most lucidly delineated the misery , degradation , ana oppression -which existed throughout the land , and pointed to its original cause—class legislatica , and most energetically exposed the finesse and

      trickery resoitsd toby the Government to cause a feei-Ing of hatred and animosity to exist between this country and the land of the immortal Emmett and O ' Gc-snor 5 and he hoped now , at the eleventh hour , ¦ wh en the middle class men acknowledged their inability to carry any measare either in the House of Commons or out cf it , that we , as Chartists , would proTe the sincerity and reality of our principles by standing aloof from both factions , and let them devour each other , — puH cevil pull "Whig ; if they will join us , they must get y < = ked in our political waggon , and in the shafts too , and we promise we will find them good and well-tried leaders und pushers , that will push the sliding scale and all other slippery bad scales into the river Styx , but in the union we will have no compromise ,- n <> twaddle

      about this point or that point , . our Charter is sailed te the mast of the ship Liberty—the Charter , the whole Charter , and no surrender—( deafening shouts of applsuse ^ . The speaker kept on nearly two hours . It "WcrM bs impossible to do justice to a tenth part of the animating and enlivtnmg description he gave of tho progress cf Chartism threnghont the country . Xow the sain 2 clas 3 cf men who a few months since were most Ktter iu denouncing us as firebrands and destructives , and immuring us within the dungeons , this same class were now joining our ranks , and we , as working men , Vculd prove ourselves more honourable than our persecutors , let them enly prove their sincerity to our cause- by placing the shield of justice to surround ns , and we will proTe our sincerity to them by surrounding

      them with a phalanx of security that all the powers on earth united cannot withstand ; but no compromise—¦ weniuslhaTeeTeryhail ' sbreadthof the Charter —( cheers ) . He argued that our Charter was ail bnt gained , it sow depended upon our union and peaceful determination , not to be led away by this party or that , neither the new move , nor the new new moTe , the side more , nor the back moye , but stesdi ] y to progress in the straight forward noble moTe for the Charter , and in a Tery short tin-..- all the oihermoTes wonld ernmble into one general move—general Charter moTe and no surrender . The middle class men now declare they are ruined unless they get the Charter . . We thank them ; they have found out the secret at last Tes , to their sorrow they ha \ e ; their tills--and money bags are getting empty , the

      big fishes are eating up the little ones . Tes , the monrrer msnopoly , they cry , is ruining them , and ' no redtnption from the Honse of Commons as at present constituted . Not a Whig leader in England that has not frrote three hundred articles to write ns down , and , now they are employed in writing us up . Three hundred gentlemen , in Manchester , recently drew up a document declaring we should have the Charter , and in less than ten hours upwards of ten thousand signed the document for the Charter— ( loud applause . ) At a meeting lecently convened by the Com Law league , in the lown Hall , Coventry , the Mayor in the chair , we discussed for seven hours the Charter , point by point , ¦ wh ich terminated in triumphant shouts for the Chatter . At a similar meeting recently in Worcester , the universal shout was given us , " The Charter , give us the

      Charter . " And , to come nearer home , Mr . Sturge and Co ., of Birmingham , since their recent return from London , now declare for all contained in the Charter—( great spjf-iuse . } The speaker concluded by affectionately and ssalonsly pressing upon every individual present , to go to work with renewed vigour and zeal , and join heart acd hand in the struggle , and Bat down amidst thunders of applause . A vole of thanks were ooanimon ^ iy given him for his untiring and zeslons services . Three cheers for tha Charter and no surrender ; three chee i-3- for our noble champion Feargus O ' Connor , Esq . ; and three cheers for all banished and imprisoned patriots : after which several new members joined our ranks , and several cards of membership -were issued , and the , meeting separated highly gratified with the evening ' s proceedings .

Young rose to submit " an amendment to

      the tffect that «• as the Charter had been nearfour years before the country , the meeting could not at that advanced stage of the agitation agree to an alteration of its details ; that they were determined peacefully , and legally , to agitate their claims , until that Charter were recognised as the law of this country . " Mr . William Thomason seconded the amendment . He pledged himself to hold by the six points of the Charter in all their integrity . The motion after some discussion -was withdrawn , and also amendment , and Mr . Thomason moved , and Mr .

The reporter for this paper having taken his place at the table , the tradesmen and gentlemen constituting the Committee of the anti-Corn Law Association , threatened to throw bim eff the platform into the body of the meeting , but he firmly maintained his position as a reporter .

      time , Mr .

Whitehead , Chairman , a master bnflder , -who very liberally t : > U the audience they were only there as visitors , and if they did not like the entertainment they might go and leave it Finding that the " ruffians" and " rabblement . of O'Connor ' s paper constitution mongers" possessed too much good sense to make a disturbance , they appeared desirous of making not only a disturbance but a riot

      themselves .
