SElCrHXJE ? . —Ejsteb Dxtzs . —The Rector of this place , no way intimidated by the almost unirersal execration which his conduct since he came to Keigbley has caused , seems determined to peree--rere in enforcing his Fernanda for the payment of Easter does at all hazards . It will be recollected thai about four months ago the houses of Messrs . Bfcodesand Weatberhead were entered and their «> ods seized fox Easter dues . Mr . John Butterfield , another Chartist , has been the next victim destined to feel the Hector's elustening rod . On Tuesday in las week , two fellows of the names of Dean and Sadden , the latter better known by the cognomen of u Sweet Tit , " entered his house with a magistrate ' s order and seemed inclined for a time t « seize a very « ood mahogany clock , but after much persuasion ( and probably recollecting the case of Mr . Rhodes , wHieh was broken to pieces by an indignant
crowd upon being offered for sale ) they eonsented to distrain a large oak tree , valued , we believe , at £ 5 . Of course , Mr . Butterfinld will lose Ms tree for the paltry sainof 10 id , claimed for Easter Dues . One can scarcely tell whether to laogb . or cry on witnessing such instances of in-Josdce as the one we have just related . When we l ee a man so obstinately stupid as to fly in the very fece of public opinion , as the present Rector is now doing , we are templed to langb at , while we pity bis felly . But whan we reflect on the degradation and injustice which Englishmen are forced daily and hourly to submit to , we are anything but in a laagbine humour . Let us , however , hope that the feneis not far distant when the system which fosters and perpetuates such enonnmes shall come , to an end , and be succeeded by a better and purer Btate of society—when no State Church shall have ihe Dower to trample npon and oppress a free
people—and when no State Parson shall be allowed toippropriate to himself the clocks , tables , and trees of honest and upright men . —Correspondent . 5 IAKCHESTEE .. —Hunt ' s Moxchext . —The laying of tbefoondation stone of tie Monument to the memory of H .

The Youths of the National Charter Association , at SiaBcnister , have got up a Sag for the above important occasion ; on the obverse is painted the Ckar&t Coat of Arms , on the reverse is the full length portrait of Henry Hunt- They intend also to form in procession , and we earnestly request that the youths in the country districts will come forward on thiU day and join the youths of Masehester in doing

Stoppage o ? Wigket asd Co ' s Bake at Beighto * . —Brighton , Friday , half-past ten o ' clock . —I have just time to inform yon that the bans of Messrs . Wigney sod Co . has not opened ihl 3 morning . The greatest consUroation prevails , as great confidence lad been reposed in it . Mr . J . N . Wigney is oae of ti » members for the borough . —The announcement of the failure was made to the public throngh a plaord placed at the door of the bank , in the following terms : —• 'Messrs . Wigney and Co . deeply regret to be under ihe painful necessity of suspending their payments . Brighton Bank , March 4 th , 1842 . "—The news , of course , spread like wildfire , and a stranger to the fact might have found ample evidence in the street thai some dreadful calamity bad befallen the _
town . A crowd of persons surrounded the door of the banking-house during the whole day , every person being anxious for ocular demonstration of the unexpected announcement , and hi 3 place being immediately supplied by others , as , having satisfied his cnriteuy , he passed away . Tee tradesmen and gentry of the town were to be seen congregated about the principal business strests in anxious groups j and many a rueful countenance indicated that its possessor was a sufferer by the failure . Of coarse Kittle is vet known of the cause of the failure , or of the prospects of the creditors ; but we have reason to believe that the immf d . ate cause was the failure of a large speculation at Glasgow , in which
the firm bad extensively engaged , and , we regret to add , that there appears too much reason to anticipate that die dividend will be very small . The members of the Snn are Mr . Isaac Newton Wigney , M . P . for Brighton , and Mr . Clement Wigney , sons of Mr . Wmkm Wigney , deceased ; who , by hi 3 own industry , aided by some fortunate sp eculations , raised himself from a travelling blanket dealer to bo a man of conaderable wealth , which enabled him , in cobjnneu&n with two other gentlemen , to establish tne bank , which has now carried on extensive business for about forty years . Mr . Isaac Newton vv igney is also a magistrate of the county , and has for some tears urted as rfiw-rman of the Bricbton bench .
Bisfai ] urewiU as a matter of connre , lead to tne election of a new member for Brighton . The h nion bank , the only bank in Brighton , with the exception of a recently established branch of the London and County baEk , has not been affected by the failure . So completely has this bank the confidence of the public , that it has been even Ies 3 resorted to to day "tha usual , many persons who hold their checks refraining from presenting them , in order to avoid the iDcoavenience tba *> a run might occasion . A meeting , for ihe purpose of expressing the confidence cf tine inhabitants of Brighton in the two remaining banks—the Union bank and the old established hrm earned on by Messrs . Hall , West , and Co ., was held at the Town-bail immediately after the failure became known . The first resolution was moved Dy «» Rev . Mr . Scott , to the effect that prompt * t- ° p 3 Ehould be taken on the pait of tne inhabitants , under ihe painful circumstaEces of the suspension ofWf-Blent hv Messrs WismvT . to exoress their confidence
in tie two remaining banks . The « solnUon was eeeended by Mr . S . Hannington . Mr . E . W . Hall , one of the firm of the Union bank , thanked the meeting for tniskiDd expression of confidence , and begged to assure it that they were quite P re Fa ^^™®!! the demands , having notice of the expected failure for some days before ! The Rev . Mr . Scott , < ra the part of Messrs . Hall and Co ., made a statement to the like rffeet . Mr . Leonard , the general manager of the London and County bank , said that , although he had no prior intimation of tbe unpleasant circumstance about to occur , be eould assure them or tne the safety of the Joint Stoek Bank Company , and stated tbit , if required , thej had a reserved fund ol £ 200 , 000 to fallback upon .

jroiTCGJUu—After on interregnum of seventeen days a new ministry has been appointed . The ** orisifi" has terminated iz the complete trfuinpb of of Seaor Costa Cabral . who is the new Home Secretary . The Duke da Tereeira is president of the council , but the leading power in the cabinet will be wiejded by Costa Cabral . The new minki ^ r of justice is Antonio d'Agevedo Mello e Carvalho , brother to the second meaiber of the Oporto junta- Thia body , therefore , may be considered as having achieved a double . triumph . Baron de Tojal is tbe new minister of finance . The portfolio of foreign affairs is held . merely ad interim by the Dake da Tereeira . Senor Rodrijro da F . Magalhaes has been applied to to resume this office , but positively declined . The marine department ia also filled merely ad interim bribe chief clerk in that office . The policy of the new administratien will not differ materially from that which was displaced bv the Osorto revolt . Its
policy with regard to England and all foreign countries will be identical . The flrat act at the new government is somewhat remarkable . It is a demand of the administrator-general of Oporto to specify the sums which he received from the custom-house , and other Eonrces of revenue , to aid the late revoltby whose order he received them , and how they were expended . The object is to legalise these illegal transactions by an act of indemnity . The order to this effect-is signed by the same Costa C&bral who who seized tbe money as head of the junta . M . Cappaciui had been presented at court . The king has declared against accepting the command in chief of the army . Thus one of the leading agents of the movement in favour of the charter is entirely de » fekted . Senor d'Aguilar returned on Sunday from Madrid , to resume his functions as Spanish ambassador at the Portuguese court . No hostile movement on tbe part of Spain was apprehended . ¦ ¦ *^* M ^ , *^* j *^ ^ ^^ a ^ n rm J ¦ ^^^^ fc ^ ¦¦ ------- ------

THE SHEFFIELD POLITICAL INSTITUTE , AND MR GEO . JTJLIAX HABNEY .
10 THE EDITOR OF THE KOBTHEBN STAR . Sra , —In approaching the subject to which I am desirouaof inviting the attention of your readers , I do so with great trepidation and reverence . The urbanity , erudition , and wide-spreading fame of tbe illustrious individual , a fame that has spread throughout the three kingdoms , and in all likelihood is now wafting across the Atlantic ocean , or like that of many of his compeers will soon do ; so , all fill the mind with the greatness of the object contemplated . His wit , humour , and profound humility stand unriTailed . Only think
of one of -his companions , as if preconcerted , as nwy such things have been by him , to his immortal honour , declaring in a public meeting and in his presence , " that George Julian Harney is another Julius Cesar , nay greater than Cjesar himself , who conquered the whole world . " True !!! Who can doubt it ? The ancient Julius Cresar only eonqnered the world by physical force . He twrf , visi , vinci ' He came , and saw , and conquered ; ' but our modern Julius , -without coming or seeing , subduea and conquers . Alas ! alas I ! for any one who stands in his war .
Thew preliminary observations , the kind reader will readily perceive , are demanded in approaching so august a man ; yet
"To err is human ;" far , however , be it from me t © attribate any prepense medics to our Sheffield Csemr ; yet one would have thought after so many heresay tales have been refutedafter they have been admitted into the pages of the Northem Star , that an opportunity might have been given to the party whom he has falsely accused from perverted report , and to whom he has been , under some small obligations , to first bear the statements and answer for themselves . But , no , tfri f would not answer Master Julian ' s purpose , but like another Jnpit * r , at the stamp of his foot , or the shake of his venerable head , all inferior mortals must tremble . I do so when I rtad the following defence : — " I shall be very brief with Mr . Otley—I defy him to prove his dirty calunrnv . "
If it be , however , a dirty calumny , it is because it is spoken cf , aad by a dirty fellow , Mr . Etaraey himself ; and it . ia dirty , because it is utterly false , at least as far as I am concerned . When Mr . Jones and his two weak-headed friends , weak-headed , because they would praise a man in the morning and cast dirt at him In tbe evening , came to me and tbe conversation took place , ailsded to by Mr . Harney , what was its purport ? Was it not what I have said before Mr . Harney , and in the presence of the Chartists" meeting in the Fig Tree-lane room ? It -was in substance , and nearly vetlatim as follows : — "That I never did , ucr never will approve of Mr . O'Connor ' s pro-Tory policy . For if he ia an honest patriot , and I give him my full confidence , until be
proves himself the contrary , his pursuing this course , " said I , " gives ample room for many to say , that there is a cerrespondfcncy of design between the Tories and himself ; for example , when he recommends the people to get on to the land , and he supposes and calculates what rent they will have to pay , and the people en the land , and the land in the possession of the present aristocraticai tyrants , would they not be merely , ss formerly , serfs ? Now , this ( say the enemies of the Chartists ) agrees with the doctrines of the Tories , who hold forth that if the ploughshare was to pass over Manchester , Birmingham , Sheffield , and other large towns , England would be as great atrfl prosperous as"it is now . " I then stated that this correspondency of doctrines , led people , ( the eoemi&i of the Charter , I
to assert that Mr O'Connor and tbe Tories are working together , and for the sarao ends . And that Mr . O'Connor and the Northern Star always abusing the Whigs , and uttering very little agaifistthe greatest enemies to the liberties ef all men , the Tories , confirmed their Mupicions . 1 have only to observe , what was sufficiently evident , that I did not speak ray own opinions , bnt what are those of others , the enemies or the opponents of the Chartists ; and as long as any portion of society believe this , they never can be induced to come over to assist or ' support us . Such was the conversation which has been pfcrv ; rted by Mr . Jones and his two illustrious companions , and seized npon by Mr . Harney , for the
purpose of crushing those who will net be his political serfs . All this is in accordance with what he threatened , in my bearing , when he first came to Sheffield , that through ths medium of the much-to-be-dreaded ( according to him ) Northern Star , he could annihilate any individual or party who dared to offer the slightest opposition to him . For my own part , as an humble individual , 1 only answer , to such threats and attempts , bah ! bah ! If I cannot difier from Mr . O'Connor and ilr . Julian Harney , on matters of policy , without being gibbeted in tfngy in it ? pages , and Mr . Harney the gibbet-post , why 1 shall prefer that to being a mental serf to either one or the other .
Mr . Jones daring this conversation , which -was private , —and as 1 think , to make it public without first confronting the party , to ascertain the truth of what has been reported , is a breach of all the rules of society , aid I only Bpoke to caution , or as a cause of regret—Mr . Jones , I say , asked me what I thonght of Mr . Harney ? I answered , "I say nothing , became I know nothing , or very little . " What I have said of Mr . Harney in his absence , I have said in his presence . What I have said of the pro-Tory policy to M >\ Jenes , I have said to Mr . Leach , to Mr . Campbell , Sir . O'Brien , Mr . Jackson , and should say to Mr . O'Connor , if I bad the opportunity .
There are , however , some other grave charges , to which some attention must be paid . One is , tbat I and Mr . GUI oppose the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people . " Suppose , " says Mr . Harney , " that we bad a Honse of Commons ( I wish we had ) elected by TJni-• ytrsal Suffrage , "who in th&ir legislative capacity were puiity of some erroneous or tjraimieal act , according to Messrs . Otley and Gill , the people are bocnt * to submit , because they have elected that Honse of Commons . J think difercni . My creed is , that tbe people can never be diye&ted , or divest themselves , of their natural ana rightful sovereignty ; and when their representative fail to do right , it is the prerogative of tbo people to override their decision . " This sage doctrine , addressed to the passions ana prhjudiees , aud employed to flatter the
his admirers , Mr . Harney illustrated by annulling decision of the Council , and by snpposing the Cauncil and the Association to stand in ihe same relation as the people and their Parliament Let the people , however , on all occasions , learn this useful lesson , that those who flatter them either have Gr are about to deceive them . This is an old but true Baying . Now let us try this absurd doctrine , as laid down above , by the test of its practical working in any country . Let us soppose tbat a Parliament , elected by the people , levy an exorbitant tax npon their food ; a more tyrannical law than this could not exist Tee peope may , according to the doctrine of Mr . Harney , annul this , cr asy other law , themselves . Now permit ns farther to suppose , that the people in exercise of their
manufacturing districts fio this by the sovereign power . And the people , in the agricultural parts approve oi it , and assert their sovereign power in supporting it ; then tbe two sovereign tits would have to meet intbe field of battle and decide whichm reality possessed this eorereiga power . Such wooli be , and has been in the Roman empire , the effect of Mr Barney ' s doctrine . The truth is , that when the people elect a Parliament by Universal Suffrage , they delegate their sovereignty to that bocy , for the time being . And if they pass an oppressive or mischievoui law , the . people must wait until it * dissolution by the effluxion of time , « ay oae year , when their sovereignty Jails back again into their bands , when they will take canto elect none but iuch men as will repeal » ny pemuaotu law and thus preserve the peace of this country .
If tbe above is a specimen of Mr . Hamey - a legislative wisdom , surely at the next election tiie electors of this Riding will » end this Solon to make law * and frame a constitution fox them . A few other statement * of facta shall and this reply : v ,. Harnev » y » , " Tbat I did not consult out own SemSr ?

demred of him and his friends was , tbat tbe motion of the entire Charter , should be , as at Nottingham and other places , an original motion , and thus with credit rescue ma and themselves from the dilemma in which we weia pisvf d ? It was very convenient for Mr . Harney to omit this . But enough of this party flghtins : if any ofus have any time or talent , let it be employed sgainst'our enemies and not in destroying our owa strength by dissension ? . Hating dissensions and divisions , especially Jn our own ranks , and desiring above all things , that the oppressed people should not vainly pursue a phantom , a Wiil-o ' -tbe-Wisp , but obtain , in the issue of their struggle , the substance , real political power , to rescue and guard themselves from oppression and wretched-Bess , and secure to themselves th&t prosperity and happiness which their Industry and skill merits , i remain .
Tour humble and obedient Servant , Bichabd Otley . Leeds , March 7 th , 1842 . [ We insert the above , because we think it right that every party attacked should have the opportunity to explain . And we cordially respond to the sentiment of the writer , that whatever of time or talent may appertain to any Chartist should be employed otherwise than in destroying onr own strength by dissensions . We hope to hear no more of these personal bickerings . —Ed . N . S . ]

V , AA'D TUB WOOLWICH DOCKYARD , To the Public and ihe Trades of Great Britain and Ireland . " Why should we not institute a system of action with regard to each other , based on those immutable principles of justice and equality which alone are capable of making man us happy as he is mighty ¦»• Brethren , —Since we last addressed you another fortnight has been added to the previously long period of our struggle of right against might "—an effort of the oppressed to annihilate the cruelly exercised power of the oppressor—and during which your patriotic exertions and generous aid has enabled us to sustain our ranks unbroken ; still presenting a steady and UDflinching front to the combined attacks of the common enemies of " our order . "
We cannot speak to any very manifest material alteration having taken place in oar position in London and Woolwich since we last addressed y « . u , farther than tfao proceedings of iae " unholy alliance" of wealth and power combined against na , so far as we can comprehend them , appear extremely pusillanimous an < J vacillating—circumstances which we can only understand as manifestations of a lingering position . Notwithstanding the fine open weather we have been favoured with , compare fcively speaking , little , very little progress is perceivable at the Houses of
Parliament , and a considerable number of those who took our members * places , from inability or otherwise , have left both the works and the locality , and which many of those who gave them shelter and credit whil&t they were endeavouring to perpetuate cruel inhumanity have much reason to know . We are aorry , however , here to state , that another individual , after having battled with us so many weeks , has turned traitor , commencing work at the Houses on Monday morning , thus making three , out of the t wo hundred and thirty who turned out from that building , that have betrayed us , during the long period of twenty four week ? .
At the monument no perceivable difference has taken place . Respecting these works , a paragraph , of which the following is a verbatim copy , has gono the round of the metropolitan press : —•• The projected Nelson column in Trafalgar-square is not expected to be completed during the present year , owing to the difficulty of procuring Haytor iDartmouth ) granite . " This is a sad contrast with the exulting promulgations of this same press only a short time since , namely , " That the contractors for these works have so far surmounted the obstacles the disaffected rebel masons had thrown in their way , that by midsummer all evidences of its having been retarded would have disappeared . "
At Woolwich the change is very slight ; the " knobsticks , " in greater or less numbers , continue te leave . The late managing foreman , incapable longer to submit himself the tool of Grissell and Peto , or procure from those they had placed under his superintendence either the quantity or quality of work required from them , has also It f ' . the employment We have just received intimation that at Penryn , in Cornwall , our members have completely succeededthat they have received notice to return to their usual employment ; G . and P . " s orders being wholly abandoned .
At Plymouth and Dartmoor the number of turnouts are considerably reduced by their obtaining other employment . Little other change has transpired here , excepting that , for the want of tfficient hands , stone has been shipped for London in the same rude form in which nature had shaped it Mr . Johnson has also engaged a cumber of agricultural and other labourers , unto whom he ia paying twelve shillings per week , determined , as he asserts , to make them *• something in the stone way , "—and some-thing no doubt it would be . The entire number now on turnout ii about two hundred and thiity , all of whom are as stodfatt and determined as ever not to relinquish a single inch of tbe position they have taken , whatever further sacrifice or privations they may have to endure : — * ' Impelled by tyrant ' s goading deeds , To wage a patriot war for freedom's rights . "
It having been whispered in some quarters , or at least , so we have been informed , that in some of our former addresses we have treated on matters foreign to the subject of our strike , and w ' jJcb have given offence , we have this week been induced to place a question at the head of oar report , and upon which , while we repudiate all desire to enter into a controversy , our simple object being to remove any erroneous impressions , and conciliate any offence that might have occurred , we beg leave to say a few words . All must be aware , that we have been and continue engaged in a severe and arduous struggle—a struggle without a parallel in the history of strikes , and that in pissing through this ordeal of tribulation in defence of tbe common rights of man , we have suffered and continue to suffer extreme privations .
Poverty is said to be the parent of invention , and so is the force of circumstances the lever which compels men to adopt opinions and practices previously held too paradoxical and impracticable . Our present position has forced upon us a consideration of the circumstances which have so placed uswhich have infiieted upon us such an amount of privation for daring to raise our voices , and take our stand against cruelties the most consummate aid contumelies "unbearable , and the only conclusion we can corns to is , that" inequality of labour and unequal exchanges produces inequality of wealth , which , through the medium of class legislation , has produced inequality of power , is the cause of our present poverty ; a system which , in tbe shape of profits and interests , robs , absolutely robs , the producing classes of the fruits of their hard emaciating toil , and then taunts , derides , and scourges them with the golden weapons of their own manufacture .
" A dire effect by one of nature ' s laws , Unchangeably connected with its cause . " It is the cause then which we seek to destroy— a cause which has hitherto made strikes more necessary than profitable , and which will more or less harrass and coerce us , while we ~ continue . to waste our resources in desultory conflicts with its effect ? . Our object , theni is to prevent any more of the productive classes from wasting their means in each contests -with effects—^ -to blend together their . energies , their tilent , and their means , in one confederated phalanx . As vre have before stated , the nobility , the capitalist , and , i n fact , the entire , of the monied classes act and execute in a body , for the advancement of their own interest—the whole amount of their disagreement being which party should pocket the laigest share of our produce . Nothing less than a complete union of all the working classes can destroy their mischievous- doings , and it is this necessity we have been endeavouring to awaken ia their minds .
" To cease to lick the foot that treads as down , Or heap the load of pride that buries us . " We conclude by a quotation from Dr . Channing—no very humble authority—in favour of the principles we have feeeii advocating : — " Tbe- objection under consideration is very much a repetition of the old doctrine , that what has been must be ; that the f » t « re is always to repeat the past , and society to tread forever in the beaten path . But can anything be plainer , than that the present condition of the world is peculiar—unprecedented—that now powers and new principles are at work—that the application of science to art is accomplishing a stupendous revolution —that the condition of the labourer is in many places greatly improved , and his intellectual aids increasedthat abases ones thought essential to society , and which
seemed entwined with all its fibres , have been removed ? Do the mass of men stind where they did a few centnries ago ? And do not new circumstances , if they make us fearful , at the same time keep ns from despair ? The future , be it what it may , will cot resemble the past The present hag new elements which must work oat weal ox woe . We have no right then , on the ground of tbe imrautableness of human afEoirs , to quench as far as we have power , the hope of social progress . " He says again , " That system of labour which saps the health , and shortens life , and famishes intellect , needs and must receive great modification , " and this can only be effected by cordial onion and co-operation , and which ire hope at no distant period will be in full practice amongst the working classes of this and every other part of the world .
With sincere gratitude for the generous macner in which we have been aided , and with a hope that we shall merit a continuance of your confidence during the brief space of time we may longer need it , We subscribe ourselves , gratefully yours , The Ma 8 oss'Society , Thomas Shorit , Secretory March Sod , 1842 .

Wl ^ TMlNBTEa . ^ A pub ! fc meeting was held at the Large Room , Charter Coffee House . Strettisa Ground , Westminster , on Fnuay evening . '; The room was crowded to excess , a * was Jikewiso the stairs and the upper floor , and upwards of 200 persons were accommodated in the large yard , and that of the adjoining house , and hundreds were obli ged to go away utterly unable to procure admission . Mr . Buck having been elected to the chair , briefly addressod the ineeting , aud stated hia belief that the agitation ; foj the Charter would soon supersede every other measure of reform , and Would effect a speedy changa in the ¦ Constitution ; which would permanently benefit of all classes of society .
Mr . Ruffy Ridley—Fellow-workmen , the time has now come when the working classes of this country will think and judge for themselves , when they wiji no longer be led by mfe high in power for their own saJfiah purposes ; too long have we assisted in agitations which have had for their end not the good of the working men ; they have put this forth , but you have discovered it to be a : fji | aqyj There have been agitations carried on , with your ; assistance , for the ' .-benefit of abase oligarchy . Never were the operatives of this kingdom . plunged in such extreme want and degradation . Never were the aristocratic classes wallowing m such luxury ,-rice , and debauchery . The grand question is , will you any longer submit to thia state of things ? Will you not act upon tha advice which the quack Doctor , Peel , gave you some few years ago— -to
take your affairs into your own hands ? You have tried the Tories and the Whigs , and the only difference is this : —the Tory is a well-known thief , while the Whig has , in the last ten yeats , proved himself to be equally as big a thief . They have both done all that has iiin in their power to oppressyou , who are the foundation of all the real property of the country . The Tories now offer you the sliding scale to remedy the distress of the country . What effect will this have upon thosu poor wretches who are now starving in . our highways and our by-ways , when , if they had the will they could produce a remedy which would give almost an instintaneous benefit to you ; but can you expect these men ever to de aught for your advantage , unless they themselves can reap tbo greater share ? - ^( " never , never"' ) . You must resolve to unite hand in hand for
this grand object of . obtaining your Charter—yeu must prove that the same blood flows in your veins which flq ' wed . in the veins of your forefathers—you must no longer be content with singing "Britons never will bo slaves , " but you must make it true to the letter , so will you confer happiness on yourselves and prosperity on the whole kingdom . I shall now propose the following resoiution : —• "that this meeting is of opinion that tha Hduss of Commons is not compatible with the spirit of the British Constitution , which supposes three -equal estates , viz :,
a power of tne Throne—a power of the Luris—and a power of the Peopl 9 coequal , whereas , it is evident to observation , that the majority of the Commons are returned by the influence of the tTpper Housa . Limited constituencies , open voting , and property qualifications being the cause and the rrieansof bribery and corruption , by which two thirds of the seats in the Commons' House of Parliament are filled by members of the aristocracy to the exclusion of the popular | Voice ; it is , therefore , the opinion of this meeting , that these and all other evils arising out of them , are only to be remedied by the adoption of the People ' s Charter . "
Mr . Ridley then entered into tha benefits to be derived from the adoption of the People ' s Charter , and the manner in which they had been deprived of thefr ancient rights ; he then entered into an examination of the Corn Laws , and chowed clearly that the capitalist , by the a ' -d of machinery , would monopolise every benefit to be obtained from their repeal , unless the people were in posseesion of political power ; they would then hot only be able to sea a large leaf through the window , but ¦ would have the bond in their hand ,, by which they could guarantee that the benefit w « ulil flow in the right channel—the stomachs of the poor . Mr . K . then expatiated on the accursed Poor Law ; and concjnded a speech which was much applauded , by exhorting them to join in no agitation in whioh the Charter was not first and foremost nailed to the mast —( tremendous chesrs ) . ;"¦ ' ¦ ; :
Mr . Leigh rose to second the resolution . They had met on this , as on many other occasions , for the purpose of foliowiDg the advice c / Peel , and taking their tiffairs into their own hand ? . One of the uipat important qnestions in the great moral political struggle which is now being carried throughout ' the land , is , are the people justified in assembling to disusa theio subjects ? fa it necessary that they should so assemble ? and is there any probability of effecting the great chaijge which we have in view ? , We will examine these points , in order to wrench from the hands of our enemies , every possible weapon they can bring against ui . -j that we are justified in this object is admitted by both fictions ¦ when it suits their party purposes . They then assert that it is an inalienable right of the people to assemble
and demand of the Legislature , a speedy redress of their grievances . The greatest luminaries cf our country , a Locke , a Bacon , and others ; the ancient philoEophers of Greece and Rjune have all asserted this fundamental principle , that taxation without representation la a tyranny and not a governmenr . This is said to be the base of the British constitution , and if this is its base let us see howthe superstructure is raised and of what materials it is composed ; the . people being tbo corner stone , the Government should rest on public opinion . It is not the building which constitutes the church , but the congregation which assemble in the building . Public opinion is nothing if it is not the free will expression of the whole people ; build on this , and you will raise a glorious structure which all may inhabit .
A Government will then be formed emanating from the free voices of a mighty and an intelligent : people . We will now consider if there ia a probability of this change being speedily effected ; we are taunted by our enemies that we meet to no purpose ; they say you are going to a meeting at tha Charter Coffee House , orto this place and the other place ; you will hear what the orators have got to say , the gaping storing thousands will do the same . Yoa will do this again and again , and yet remain exactly in the same state ; but this i » not the case ; the thinking faculties have been set to work , and if there is anything true in the old saying that a little leven willleven the whole lump , so will the public opinion generated at this , and other other public met tings rise into such a tremendous roar that our
tyrants shall shake in their own shoes . The infamous Ciitlereagh passed his six gagging act ? , fettering the right of public meetings , but it the present strong Government , as It is called , were only to attempt to breathe an inclination to re-enact them ; if they were only to whisper it in their dreams in the present effervescing state of society , it would be like a spark fall-, ing on a powder magazine , they would all be blown up together —( loud cheer ? . ) We have-now brighter prospects than ever before us ; the press that hitherto occupied every vacant column with anathemas against ua has now begun to discover that we have sonia little influence , that Feargus O'Connor has some small modicum of tiient , that thcra baa been some thousands of persona present at hU meetings , and that they have really
conducted themselves better than they expected they could . The press Is now endeavouring ; to see which way ' . the wind blows ; they are convinced that some tremendous change is at hand , and they have set their watchmen on the towers of self interest to watch which way the current will eventually set . Tuis is a sign of the times , a sign that the Chartist schoolmaster has been abroad , that meetings like the present have been ustful , tbat they have instructed the people to steer clear of those shoals and quicksands on which they have hitherto been wrecked ; our principles are those which are destined to regenerate lni ' . ilons yet unborn ; they will confer on millions those ; blessings which past generations have in vain sighed for ; we owe this to our increased knowledge ; they could only see the promised
land , as in a glass darkly ; but we have now arrived near to this milleniuui . Public indignation will quickly sweep away the present House of Commons ; and we shall be enabled to elect those who will indeed be the representatives of the people . Each will then sit under his own vine and his own fig-tree , enjoying the fair fruit of his labour . Mr . Leigh then dissected , in his UBual talented manner , the Corn Law question , showing that we had arrived afc such a high and prominent position , that we could come down' upon the League , and say , if you want assistance , you must join us , for in foul weathar and fair weather , through persecutiou and prosecution , we have done without assistance . We hava attained , with ytur opposition , pur present proud pre-eminence ; and if you need us , you ruust
come to us , for we will not come to you— -we will not yield a shallow of a point of the glorious iibric of the people ' s liberties— ( cheering . ) Mr . Lalgh then administered a severe castigation to the Marshalls , Cobdens , and other leaders of the Leagtie , during which Mr . O'Connor entered the room , and was received with great applause from all quarters of the building . Mr . Leigh then wound his subject to a clo * e . Pkargus O Connor , amidst great cheering , then rose and said—It is now nearly seven years since I first addressed a Radical Association in Westminster . Then a snsail cockloft would have held : us ali , and now we are full both in an A out . I was much pleased with the portion of Mr . Leigh ' s speech which I heard , and wiil enter a little more into the details of the subject .
These men call themselves great philanthropists ; they alone have bowels of compassion for the poor i they yearn over your miseries , and are anxious to give you cheap food ; bus yon know , my friends , that you cannot have more of a cat than the cat and her skto ; you cannot have the big cake , U they flrs » eat it for you . Leek at the fortunes of Arkwtight and others acquired by this system of machinery . Do not mistake trie . No one admires the man who is the maker of his own fortune more than j < lb ; ^ Se Is infinitely better than the fool who is b » rn with a silver spoon in his mouth ; but look at Arkwright , taken from his lathering box when lie could scarcely pat a wig in his
window until he first borrowed the money , and now he is worth , they any , thirteen millions of money . But , suppose this to be an exaggeration , say it is only £ 5 , 000 , 000 , and say that he employed one thousand hands in creating this wealth , would not £ 1 , 000 , 000 for himself bea large share ? would not this be a sufficiency for his outlay of capital 7 this would allow £ 4 , 000 to each of bis workmen , or £ 200 a year for ever to those who had created this mighty mass of ¦ wealth , and would allow to Arkwright , who had only been a speculator in their labour , £ 50 , 000 a year for ever . Would not this bea more equitable distribution than that Arkwrigtyl Aboaid at present hate bis

£ 200 , 000 a year , while hia poor labourers are many of them enduring tha pang 3 of starvation in cells of that cold-blooded system of tyranny , a Poor Law Bastile ? I do not eome hero to make a speech , I am going to talk to you to show you to yourselves in the mirror of nature . ; I tell you that the Reform Bill was a struggle , with which yoa had no connection , it was a battle between the lords of machinery and the landed aristocraoy , to see to whfch Of their battiedbrs ydti ( the shuttlecock ) should be handed over . The mlllocrat told the aristocrat that he had got too mnch out of yon , and Ii 8 mast let , him hive a squeeze . You have seen these : men derive benefits from that measnre , bnt I ask y 6 o where is- youi share ? Look at thesa men who now ask you to assist them in the repeal of tho Corn
Laws , did they not make their money by the present Corn Laws , which they now seek to destroy ? did not the mttjority once inhabit the cellars ? were they not glad when they reached the cottage ? but now they have got into the mansion they overlook , they pretend never to know aught of the cpttage ; they now denounce the landed aristocracy , yet when they have accumulated £ 100 , 000 ,-what is the first ' :-thing they do with it ? why , invest it in land . There is Brown , ef Leeds , haa just given £ 100 . 000 for an estate Marshall has just given £ 50 , 000 with his sister , to Lord Monteagle , arid so on through the piece . We havo at present three ocracies ; the sodocrhcy , the sniokeocracy , and the niobocracy . I have bsen a sporting man thongh never a gambler , and I would bet the mobocracy against the
other ; two , one up and tie other down '; or if Vk&y botb unite I woald bet the monocracy against them , both at once . Thesa Repeatera never thought of Chartisni until there was a majority of 133 against them . They w « ht to bed anti-Chartists on Wednesday night , and rose Chartists on Tbu ^ sday morning , like the man at tke time of the Catholic Emancipation Bill , who went to bed a sound Pr «» teataat , and rose in the morning a thofongh Catholic ; but they say they were always of Chartist principles . No thanks to them , they can't deny them , bnt they don't like the name : Is not Chartism as good a name as Whiggery ? Do they like Kusselrs Purge ? They put me in mind of Brother ton , in the House : Cobrten , he said , nerer had a mill in his life ; it was a print-work—they did ' ntcall it amlH . ; Like the
constable who wsnt to apprehend an Irishman 1 , and asked him if his name was not Thomas Miran ?• ., - " No , faith , it was not ; it was Tom Miran "—r ( loud laughter . ) These fellows will grant you all but the name . But , first , they want , to get rid of Feargus b » it you never saw a leech stick so to a wound as I will stick to these fellowg . When I was in Birmingham the other night I gave them Chartism to their heart ' s content 1 remember the story of an Irish maiden lady . who had a red cat . She was never married , and therefore was very fond of the cat ; but asking Molly one day where the red jug was , "Oh , marin , the diril of a cat has broke it , bad luck to her . " Well , a few days passed , and ; the blue jug was asked for ; "Piase yer Ladyship , arid the divil of a cat has broken that , too . " So the
devil of a cat was given to a neighbour . Presently , tbo black teapot was broken , and again Molly swore "it was the ould dlvil come back again . " So pu ? s was condemned to be killed , the poor \ brute ; but , faith , this was not enough . The cream-ju ; was broken , and , Molly again swore that " cats had nine lives , and the divil of the cat had come down the chimney , and broke the crame-jug "— ( laughter . ) They want to get rid of Feargus . JVow , I am the red cat If they give me to » neighbour , I shall cpnie back ; if they kill me , I shall come down the chimney ; and if I do not , they will have another bull in the china shop , for no power under heaven can ever drivo the Charter from your mlmfsno force can ever weakeu your attachment to . ; it ' s ' principles . You have the 658 Members making loug
speeches in the House of Commons , which scarce a working nian thinks it worth while to read . Coming down to this hou je I saw many carcases of meat , and I said that is gobU ; but of what uso is tkat when class legislation deprives you of th » means of porchasib g them ? Where will you look to'for a remedy for this ? Will you look to the Whigs ? They have as many pvinciples us a camelion has colonra . VViiJ yoa look to the V new move" men , with their complete and inanhood Buffrage ? they call it complete suffrage . They will givo you all except the abolition of the Property Qualification clause , nnd the Payment of Mem-Dtrs . r call this no suffrage at all ; it is like giving a child a clasp-knife , which you are sure it cannot open . Suppose ail the people
Of Westminster were ; collected outside this wiadow . to elect Members to Parliament ; and suppose Ruffy Ridley or Leigh to be candidates , and four others , you might be deairous of electing Ruffy or Leigh , their conduct having entitled them to your confidence or respect but this yon could not do ; thoy are not men of property , so you most , per force , take one bnt of the other four , or not vote at all ; and even if you could return the man of your choice , say Ruffy , if you did pot pay him he must starve , unless , like the Scotsman who would not pay his servant , but sect him to tho larder , to the backer , &c , to pay himself , until he soon got the upper hand of his master . This is the way with the present system . You d © not pay ' theiri- ; but they , pay themselve ? . Look around at your London shops , with
their windows costing £ 15 or £ 16 each , and you would see that they have empty shops and ¦ warehouses , although they contrive to make a splendid show in their windows , and yet they have been so blind as to support those whose interest is tba most diametrically opposed to their own . Their interest and that of the manufacturer is of an opposite and cocflicting character . We all admit the benefits . of improvements in machinery , yet we see that we have derived no bcuefit from them . We see that the millocracy have increased in wealth , because all the labour has been done by cod machinery . We do not wish to put a stop to machinery— -we desire to turn it to man's benefit , ami not to bis destruction . We know that if each man ' s share went into each man's pocket we should soon be enabled to
say to them , you may keep your ill-gotten plunder—we have the vote , and will . epeedily render ourselves independent of you They remind me of the story of . the American Captain , who having taken a vessel , offered to divide with bis mate a cask of brimstone , tilling him he meant to give him equal justice ; so breaking this brimstone into two very unequal shares , asking him to take his choice , but he should have the one be h * ld , which of course was the largest . Thus it is : they give us the blarney , but secure all the substantial comforts to themselves . These men say to us , now we will give you the Charter ; but they mean their Charter , not our Charter . What would be the result of our Charter ? Why . in the morning , we would repeal the infernal Poor Law Bill : at noon we would charter a ship to bring
back Frost , Williams , Jones , and others ; and at night , we would remove every restriction upon trade with the whole world , and would take care that tho beaetits flowed into the proper channel . The poor pitiful devils who are talking of cheap bread dont pull the right cord —like Pagahini , they play only on one attlng . ; There had ought to be a commission of lunaoy issued against them ; they talk of admitting about £ 4 , 000 . 000 worth of foreign corn , bnt say not a word of the £ 10 , 000 , 000 abstracted by the church . Xet them take £ i , 000 , 000 off that , ©* if that is not enough , let them take all the £ 10 , 600 , 000 , and we should then have a truly good and independent clergy . During these few months a large house in Derby had reduced the wages of their bobbin net weavers at tbe rate of £ 40 in the year ; they employ
eighty men ; here is a saving of £ 3 , 200 a year , enough surely to compensate them for cheap bread . Suppose the Corn taws repealed to-iuorrow , and that weshouicl be enabled to beat the slaves in their own market ; we cou \ d bring the iayr material from America , luanufacture it , pay cost of insurance , freight , and rink , and sell it cheaper th !» n : they could manufacture the goods at home . Ia not this givig as much British labour away iis is equal to the charge of the freight , insurahce , and risk . Aye , but say the manufacturers , our machinery will enable us to beat the whole world . 1 admit it , but at the same timeit has enabled them to beat the labourer at home—( hear , hear ) , if you never saw a machine , it equally effects you as those it has displaced . If the shopkeepers have lost their consumers ; if they cant
sell , they dont want you ; to make for them . Lpsk at Nelson ' s Monument and the Houses of Parliament ; if there was enough to do in the province 8 , could Grisseil and Peto get these rapscallions to supply the places of those honest mettnow on striko . The same principle applies to every trade . I ' lay it down as a principle of political economy , that if 10 , 000 men could do all the work in a ratio of five miles , andi 3006 men were forced into that market , that it would be better to pay those 3000 men liberal wages to dp aothlng , than allow them to come into the market and constitute a reserve for the masters ti fall back upon . This caused the legislature to put down the Trartea' Union 3 at the time of the J > jrchester labourerg . They wish for competition , that they may glut the market ; and bring you to their terms . At
the tailors * meeting on Monday night , which was the most important ever held in London , although the press scarcely noticed it ; --if it had been a Corn Law metting they would havo bad six eoltrains of it . I ? we beat them , we perhaps get a few lines , but tt they b at us , which , thank God , is seldom , they have two columns of it . Well , at the tailors' meeting , the Chairman said that the Trades' Unions had not answered the purpose for which they Were intended , and why is it ? Why for want of the Charter ; but rither than give this of their free will , they wonld cause the country t » run with blood ; they know they have made millions from not baying the Chatter , and that if we bad it they could only have their fair share . N « ver was London so up to the mark . I have told them in the country that they may go to Bl » ep , and that London will carry the Charter . Never were the shopkeepers so bad off ; they will soon be forced from necessity to jpin us ; theywUl no longeT be guUed by the Whig plea that to assist
we are too ignorant . Ijf we are too ignorant onrselves , we are too ignpriuit to assist them ; "we should lead them astray ; surely they would not unite with madmen . Wewaot the Chattel for them and outgelves , —like the old woman and the hot pointer . She had an oppression of tbe heart , and the doctor gave her a sheep skin plalster , and calling a few weeks after , he asked whetheir it b 84 done her good . "Oh yea , Sir , it has done me good , and Tim good too . " " HoWj - aays ttte doctor , has it done Tim good . " " Why , the piaister cured me and then made a fine ieaV to TimiB breeches ^ - ( great laughter . )—We want the Chartei to cure the oppressions ef our hearts , and then when it has done that it inay make a seat to their breeches In the Honse of CSOininons . The very air is now redolent with Chartism . The present House of Commons no more represents the feelingB of this country , than it does those ' of ^^ Russi a . A qaesti on affoctiug the inte rests of Russia , or the great wall in China , "would be more

" Js it to be enanred that the Irish people shoafld pay a pjjrsrtn sue days in the . week to denounce Uiem off the seventfif But how will they abolish this , save by girl&g the vote to the Catholio man instead of the Protestaat land .
Mr . OConnor then ably advocated a RepcaV of the Union with Ireland , and shewed up the vices of our church wid local establiahments . He then proved to the satisfaction of his audience that there was no necessity for emigration or . importation of foreign corn if oar land was properly culUvated . Give us the Charter , and England would support a population « t fiftymiJJions with greater ease than she now supnortde twenty-six millions . He could scarcely tell them the pride arid pleasure with which be contemplated them . In the provinces ,, where he was personally more known , he designated them his children , and he coaW assura them that he had many grey-haired children too , some
old enough to" be his grandfathers ; but ^ never a father loved his children dearer than he loved the Working ' classes ; he had stepped with them , after their meetings were over , till two or thre * o ' clock In the morning , and never did he hear an immoral word come from their lips ; yet he had often been compelled to leave the company of the rich and powerful from disgust at tke unmanly conversation . And yet these were the men who were entrusted with power , to the exclusion of the moral and the industrious . Mr . O'Connor concluded by promising the hundreds on the outside to attend an outdoor meeting on the first convbnient ! occasion , and sat down loudly cheered . : Tie resolntlen was then unanimously carried ; '
Mr . Beown moved and Mr . W . H x ley seconded the adoption ef the National Petition ; which was carried without a dissentient . i ; Mr . O'CoNNea moved and Mr . Ridley seconded a Vote of thanks to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up with the usual ChartUt honours .
