      BSADFOED . —Glorious Triumph of the Chartists over ihe Complete Suffhage SiUEGmis . —On Tuesday last a meeting of those who called themselves memorialists , was convened in the Temperance Hall , Bradford , to commence at 7 o ' clock in the evening . The place is calculated to hold from 1 . 500 to 2000 people , and was crammed to suffocation . A report got in circulation during the day , that it was the intention of some of the parties to hold the meeting at 4 o ' clock instead of 7 ; and at that hour the doors were besieged and continued to be so until six o ' clock , when the doors were then were thrown open , but so impatient were the people to gain admittance that it was impossible for the parties appointed to collect the tickets of admission , and they gave up the attempt to do so . The committee met in the saloon of ihe Hall , when they agreed that in

      consequence of tee tyrapny of the meeting in forcibly entering the Hall , that they would not hold the meeting . A deputation was sent to them to remonstrate with them on tbe impropriety of such a step but without effect . The committee adjourned to the hay-loft , ( a name generally given to their Association room ) , Leeds-road-end . It was nowdark and the people remained firm to their post ; it was pit to the meeting whether tne business for which they were calltd logethtr should be proceeded with in tie absence of the Committee , or thai thev snould adj . urn . It was so oark that it was impossible to see who held up their hands tor or against ; they determine 1 to take the sense of the meetirig by hearing . All those that were in favour

      of proceeding with the business were requested to signify the . r assent by saying " aye , when such a volley of ayes was sent forth as made the ears of the meeting single . Those who were opposed to proceeding with tha business of the meeting-were requested , to > ay " no . " We a ould say thtre were not more than from twenty to thirty that answered " no . " Candles were immediately procured , instead of the gas , which the Complete Suffrage Committee had refused the meeting the use o ? . The meeting decided in sending another deputation to the committee to inform them 01 their intention of proceedixig with the busiaeoB . After the lapse of about twenty minutes the deputation rt turned , and stated that the committee were coming in

      a body , and that they had guaranteed them a fair hearing . The Committee entered , and the gas was immediately lighted . Mr . Brook proposed II . Forbes , Esq ., to take the chair ; Mr . Byles seconded the nomination . Mr . Forbes was carried , but not unanimonsly . The Chairman briefly opened tne business of the meeting by requesting Mr . Nichols to read the memorial and circular from the Committee at Birmingham . He entered into all the proceedings which they had adopted at Bradford , in order to giv « effect to the memorial . He sat d » wn by moving that the meeting adopt the memorial , which was seconded . —The Chairman immediately

      proceeded to put the motion , but was requested , to give a little time . —Mr . Flinn moved as an amend ^ ment , that an instruction from this meeting shonft begiren to tho delegates , to support- the principles contained in the People's Charter . " The amendment waa seconded , but was subseqientl y "withdrawn / as it was considered out of place by the Chartisfe on the platform . The memorial waspnt and carried , but not without a great deal of opposition / Mr . Kenyon then moved a resolution , expressing a desire for a firm and sincere union of the middle and working classes . Mr . Kenyon sirid the meeting at Birmingham was called for the purpose of adopting some , plan , whereby they might be enabled to obtain in the Commons House of

      Parliament , a full , fair , and free representation of the people . He agreed that every man twenty-one years of age ought to be represented , but eoulxl not agree with erery principle contained in the People ' s Charter . The resolmtion being seconded was allowed to be passed . —Mr . C . Wilkinson , bookseller , moved

      Untitled Article

      that this meeting approves of the steps taken by the Birmingham Committee , in making the move that they had done , and that we also agree to send six delegates to the Conference at Birmingham . —Mr . - > hackleton seconded the motion . —Mr . Fletcher moved as an amendment , " That this meeting approves of sending six delegates to the Conference at Birmingham , " which was seconded by a great many . The amendment was carried by an overwhefmiug majority . —Mr . Woodhead then moved , That Mr . Osborne , Mr . Nicholl , Mr . Jackson , Mr . Hodgsou , Mr . Scarlett , and Mr . Gaunt , should be ihe delegates . Mr . Bishop seconded thenominatl > n . —Mr . George Fletcher moved asan amendment , " That tbe elections be made singly . " —Seconded by

      Mr . Dewhurst and earned . —Mr . Woodhead then proposed Mr . Osborne , as a fit and proper persfri to be sent to the Conference . Mr . Bishop ' was his seconder . Mr . FJercher wished to ask Mr Osborn two questions . Would he , in the Conference at Birmingham , support the principles contained in the document called the People's Charter and nothing short , and that without the addition of any other political question \—Mr . Osborne said that he cordially agreed with every principle in the Charter , except Annual ' 'Parliaments ; he thought Triennial much better . —Mr . Fletcher rose and said , that however much ho wished for a union of the middle and working classes , he would agree to none that was not based on principle ; the Charter might be

      illustrated under the figure of a steam engine that wai necessary for the completion of some description « f manufacture , and if one shaft was thrown off , the manufacture would necessarily be incomplete ' . ; and if the whole five shafts were thrown off , he wanted to know wlsat would be the use of the engine run ? Tjing at all 1 So it was with the details of the Charter ; if they destroyed its details they destroyed it altogether . " He moved that Mr . Smyth be sent instead of Mr . Osborne . —Mr . Smyth answered the question in the afirmative . —Mr . Wilkinson said , if Mr . Smyth was pledged to adopt that course , and that alone , he thought a great deal of useless expence miiriit be saved , by a letter being sent to the Birmingham Conference , stating that Mr . Smyth would

      vote for the principles contained in the Charter only . —Mr . Fletcher replied , by saying that suppose Mr . Biisfi ' . ld should be pledged to " a repeal of the Corn Law .- - , and nothing short ., a letter in that case would do as well as Mr . Busfieid . —The Chairman put Mr . Smyth to the meeting , when he was elected by an overwhelming majority . He then called for a show of hands for Mr . Oaborne V very few hands were held up for him . He then called for a show of hands against Mr . Osborne , when nearly every hand was held up against him , and a shout of triumph rung through the meeting . Previous to putting the resolution , the Chairman commnnted on one of the leading articles of the Leeds ¦ Mercury t the editor of which , Mr . Cobbett—tbe immortal

      Cobhctr . dct-ignaied " the great liar of the North . " —Mr . Forbes fully proved that he-still retained the same character unimpaired . Ho denounced the article as mnprincipled , malicious , and un-«[ erous in every respect . He said the intion of the editor was to intimidate the class to which he belonged ; but ho hurled defiance in his teeth ; and he was determined not to b » intimidated by either him or any one else . His position in socitty was such that he defied him to injure him . He dwelt at great length ' on the conduct of Mr . Baines trying to prevent the middle and working classeB uniting . —Mr . Woodhead then proposed , and Mr . Biddy seconded , that Mr . Nichol should be sent to the conference . —Mr . Fletcher

      prcpospd the-same questions to Mr . Nichol , when he said he asreed , from prmciple , to near ; y all the principles contained in the Charter . He did not agree with Annual Parliaments ; and _ his objections arose from his conviction that the agitation during an election would be injurious to trade ' and . commerce , in which he was unfortunately connected . He could a » ree to Biennial Parliaments . He said he had signed the National Petition ; not because he agre-d with it all , but because he agreed with the greater portion of it . He declined to stand the election . —Mr . Byles here attempted to address the meetine , bun was a considerable time before he could obtain a hearing . He said he was opposed to the payment of Members out of the taxes . If they were paid , the constituencies should

      pay them by subscriptions . Mr . Nicholl having declined , Mr . Jackson was proposed and seconded by Mr . Woodhead and Mr . Bishop . —Mr . Fietcher questioned him , as he had done the others , but his answer being evasive , Mr . l > ewhirst was moved as an amendment , which was carried . —Mr . Biahop moved Mr . Hodgson , which was seconded . —Mr . FJetcher asked him the first question , when his answer was in the affirmative . The second question — " will you use your influence to bring over the middle classes to join the National Charter Associa-f tion , and oppose all attempts at forming another organisation f" —Mr . Hodgson said he would , excep * they could show him a better . —Mr . Fletcher asked him who was to be the judges , whether it was

      better or not V—Mr . Hodgson said it should be left with a public meeting ca'ied for the purpose ; his answer was considered satisfactory , and he was eleoted . — Mr . Scarlett was proposed by Mr . Bishop and seconded , and questioned by Mr . Fletcher ; who said ho would go for the whole hog , bristles , snout , and all . The second question was answered the same as Mr . Hbilgson , and he was elected , Mr . Bishop proposed Mr . Gaunt , who was seconded . He went for the whole Charter buV refused to pledge himself as to his proceedings . —Mr . Burrows was then moved in his stead . lie answered the questions satisfactorily , and was elected . —Mr . Ainley then proposed Mr . Joseph Braok , who was seconded by some one on the platform . A person in the body of tha meeting proposed by way of amendment that Mr . George jleieher shou'd be sent . Mr . Fletcher declined to stand in opposition to any person holding

      the same principles as himself , and put the same questions or pledges to Mr . Brook as the others ; his answer to both questions was " I will . " This was the last election . The -whole six ate siannch Chartists , and five out of six are members of the National Charter Association ; thus haye the Chartists gained a victory over humbug , of no small magnitude . The complete suffrage humbugs had spread a net in which to catch the Chartists , but those whom they sought to entrap caught them in their own machinations , and completely overthrow them , and have chosen those who will faithfully represent them in the Conference . A committee of seven persons was appointed to carry out the intentions of the meeting , and to correspond with the delegates during the time they were in the conference . A subscription was made at the door towards defraying the expences . The meeting did not conclude till nearly twelve o ' clock .

      Council Meeting . —This body held their usual weekly meeting in Bmterworth ' s-buildings , on 'Monday J it was resolved that all subscribers to tho Star be requested to preserve them for the agents , who will deliver to the Council the Slats collected for tbe purpose of sending them regularly to Ireland .

A special meeting will be held « n Sunday , at two o ' clock in the afternoon .

      Cuixttjgwobth . —A public meeting of the inh bitants of Cullingworth was convened , by placard , en Easter Tuesday , to take into consideration the distress of the country . Two resolutions were adopted by the meeting , attributing the distress to class legislation , and adopting the People ' s Charter as tho remedy . Messrs .

      possess sufficient strength to secure to the labourer ajnsfc and reasonable remuneration for his labour , and protect his rights ; they look upon them only as a temporary barrier established in consequence of his being denied legal and constitutional protection , from the law , which right is denied him in consequence of the great bulk of the labouring population having no voice in the making of the laws by which they are governed ; being fully convinced of this , they pledge themselves to come forward and unite for the purpose of reorganising the present Trades' Uaions , as a temporary protection for their labour . " It was announced that Mr . James Leach would deliver a lecture to the joiners on Friday evening next , the 8 th instant .

      TO THE SIXTY-FOUR DELEGATES WHO ASSEMBLED AT THE HOP-POLE INN .

Morris engaged to meet me , and to warn the rest to be present , on Wednesday evening , SOthof March .

      I went again , and sat till ten o ' clock , arid no one came . What steps to take now I aui at a loss to conceive , excepting to call the delegates , themselves together on Wednesday evening next j April 6 th . ; This certainly has been a piece of wilful neglect or carelessness , or forgetfuiness . J am inclined to think the latter . Howeyef , not a step hasytt been taken ; the business remains just as it wasi For your own characters , as working men , I trust you will assemble at the Hop Pole Inn , on Weduesday eveuing . The fault does not lie in the Dslegates nor the Trades , but solely in the Committee they appointed . Trusting the step I have taken will rectify the matter , I am , yours faithfully , Wm . GiaFFiN .

      Horrible Effects of Middle-Class TyRANNy at Neilston , neak Paisley . —The Times of Fridfay ( yesterday ) .. contains' a very minute statement of about as horrible a case of cruelty as we remember ever to have seen . Some fellows named Gochrane , it seems ,-have a very extensive establishment for bleaching and finishing muslins , at Neilston . Most of * he workers at this establishment are females ; about 150 of whom were lodged iu a kind of barracks , cailed the women ' s house , the lower rooms of which are used for the workers to ; to take their meals in * and the upper ones as tiofmitoriesi These poor creatures are compelled to rise on Moiir day mornings at half-past four o ' clock , to work . At the end of last week , they received notice of a

      considerable reduction of wages to taJke ^^ place from , that day . At half-past four o ' clock oh Monday morning last , there were no work-women astir * and it v ? as suspected that a strike was intended , and one of the Cochrane ' s , after waiting some little time , threatened that if they wore not up in a few minutes ,-he would try some means of getting them out of the house . This ' . / being- ' ' unattended to » he dn-ected a quantity of bleaching powder to be taiton to the passage on the under-flat and at the bottom of the common stair to the whole premises , and sulpburic acid to be poured upon it , so as to smoke the females out by the noxious fumes of the chlorine ! gas evolved . This was accordingly done by one of the men employed at the works , who , after pouring oh the vitriolstirred the

      , up mixture , of which he had taken a large quantity , and then shut the outer doon The result was , that the gas began to fill the whole interior of the building , and to spread its noxious influence Over every individual within it ; A rush was how made from every flat to obtain egress ; but no one could get out without coming through the passage in which the mixture was placed , and where , from the density of the gas , its noxious and suffocating influence was prpportionably increased . Seeing that bis "joke , " was becoming serious ; Mr . J . Cpeheane ran into the passage , and * seizing the dish in which the deadly gas was generating , passed out by the backdoor of the passage , aid threw ihe whole nto the burn whioh rans through the premises .

      In tho mean time , the poor females were striving to make tbeir escape into the open air , almost all of them uuderi the most oppressive sense of suffocation , of intehseheadache , excpriatedthroats , andirritatedlungfli Some fell to the ground immediately on reaching a purer atmosphere , as if struck by electricity ; some rolled about giddy , as if sufFering under sea sickness ; while air were more or less seriously affected by the poisonous effluvia . Doctors were Bent for as quickly as possible , and antidotes administered . In the afternoon many had considerably recovered , bait there were still six or eight whose cases were thought serious . Mr . John Cochrane is stated to have been required by the Renfrewshire authorities to give-bail for his appearance in case of farther proceedings being deemed ncoessarj .

      present . Mr . Henry Wakefield was the first witness examined , and deposed as follows ¦ : —I am surgeon to this prison . The first time 1 saw the deceased , John Marshall , was about seven o ' clock on the morning of the 8 th instant . I did not see him the previous evening ; but my assistant , Mr . W . Smiles , did , as a message had been left at my houSe that deceased was in a destitute condition , and according to hia own statemen in an actual state of starvation . When I saw him he was in the Infirmary , in a perfect state of insensibility . He had some brandy and water , aome beof tea , and other nourishments , which he topk ^ He did not recover his senses , but died at half-past two O ' clock the same afternoon . When he was placed in the Infirmary I made tho entry in the case-book now before the ' .. Court ; The Corpner directed the clerk ( Mr . Mills ) to read thoontry , which was as follows :

      —" Admitted into the prison infirmary , in a state of starvation , without any apparent disease . " Evidence resumed—I have since , by the Curoner ' s order , made a post mortem examination of . the deceased ' s body , forty-five hours after death . Upon opening the stomach , I found that quite healthy . All its contents wer « a '' small quantity ot gruelaud undigested bread . Tho rest of the intestines were comparatively ernpty . There was not the slightest appearance of fat ; indeed ,-not ; an atom about the body . I never in my life saw a body so entirely lean . Coroner—^ From what you / perceived on the examination of the body , what is your decided opinion as to the cause of the deceased ' s death ? Witness- ^ -The immediate cause ot

      death was exhaustion from the want of food . James Alten , police sergeant , 52 N , examined . —I first saw John Marshall , the deceased ,: about 2 o ' clock : on Sunday morning , the 6 th inst . ; at the station-house at Edmonton , where he was brought by police constable Crump , who had found him lying in » shed asleep , and that he said he had run away from Peckham workhouse . The deceased also said so . He complained of being cold and hungry , and said he had had no food for two days . I put him in the usual cell for prisoners , which is boarded , and gave him a rag to throw over him . He had some bread ^ nd cheese about 1 o ' clock on Sunday , and 1 gave him some peasoup about half-past 10 o'clock the Bama night . At 10 o ' clobk on Monday morning I

      gave him some more soup , and at . vil o clock , he was taken before Mr / Mprley , the magistrate . I have since learned that deceased had an order for admissien into Edmonton workhouse given the / same night , before he was . taken into custpdyi : That is a union workhouse , peceased was before the magistrate about 10 mihutes . He was taken off to i the House of Correction , Under sentence of seven days imprisonment , and hard labour . Thomas Crump , police-constable 316 N , examined . I found the deceased shortly after one o ' clbck on the morning of the 6 th instant , lying in a manger on the side of the high road from Edmonton to London , asleep . I woko him up , and asked what be did there j He-could not reply for some ( time , and I at last got cut of him that he had run away from Peckham workhouse , because they had set him to break stones , and that he had had a pair of shoes given to

      him at , Shoreditoh workhpuse . Mr . Morley , tne magistrate , wished-to know if the intention of the Cproher was that he should be sworn ! The Coroner said he did not Bee a necessity for it . He should , however , be glad to hear any statement the magistrate thought proper to make . Mr . Morley said he had acted strictlyjm accordance with the Act of Parliament , the ^ deceased having been brought before him as a vagrant . He had no knowledge of his want of food . He could say no more in that matter than what the jury had heard . A gentleman , whosaid he acted asmagietrate's clerk on the occasion of the deceased ' s committal , observed that he recommended the magistrate , as the most humane act j to send tfee deceased to the House of Correction . After some consideration the jury returned the fallowing yerdiot : — " That ihe deceased , John Marshall , died from the tffects of the want of food and the other common necesaaries of humftnlife .
