affl-ct society , brought about by , aud through , class legislation , imperatively demand increased energy on tho part of the unrepresented millions .

William Jones gave his seventh leciure here on Sunday , to a crowded audience ; there were many that could not gain admittance .

credit to him . There has been an increase of above a hundred members . Never before were there such in-door meenngs in Todmorden upon any occasion . We bow cumber above 501 members in the National Charer Association at Todmorden , and there are upwards of 100 in the female society . When the last National Petition was presented , Tt . dmorden sent no signatures , and but very little money to the Convention ; now wo have sent 7006 signatures , aud £ 4 to this Convention , and we send regularly one-fourth of our subscriptions to the Executive . It ' every town in England would do as TodmorJen h * 5 done and i 3 doing , it would not be long before ihe Chaucr would be law . Wo have now
taten 350 car < i > :, and we have sent £ 1 15 s 21 since thela ? t b dance sheet of the Executive came out .

He opened tne business of the meeting in a short speech remarkably full oi' soft 8 oap ; but the working men are not to be caught with chaff , and this they found to be tho case before the meeting ended . Mr . Prentice was the first speaker ;
he ran through a long preamble of the business that was transacted iu tho Conference . When he concluded , a working man got up and asked leave to put a question to the speaker . He wanted to k « ow if it was true that when four points of the Charter were carried in the Conferenco , Mr . Prentice returned to Manchester to report progress to the manufacturers , and that they immediately sent their protest against .-the' decision pf that body I In reply Mr .

cheering was terrific . After order was again restored , he addressed the working men upon the necessity of standing to thdr own organisation .

Thirdly j— It , will be absolutely necoasary . for the Coareatloa to pit four weeks instead of three , for the purpose of watching the result of tho demand for a hearing at the Bar of the House of Commons .

Fellow Countrymen , We have been elected by the suffrages of a vast body of the people , and according to their instruction we have assembled to deliberate upon the present condition and existing wrongs of-the producing classes , to decide upon the means of placing their grievaiises before the country andihs present government , and to adopt poaoeful and constitutional measures to secure support , disarm prejudice ,. ' and defeat opnosition . We have n ©
faith in the government , little ' hope of justice from Parliament , and scarcely any assistance from , the middle cla ^ s electors . Wo represent millions who are thrust out tram the pale of the constitution , who are denied all protection to their labour , which alone has created the wealth of the aristocracy , the fortune of the JcapUaliats , and the comforts of the middle closes . We represent those who have / been disfranchised , upon whose forehead is stamped the the impress of political slavery ; whom the Reform Bill has placed wide apait from those whose interests are identical , but whose feelings are now lostile .
We represent the working classes , who have aroused themselves to a sr-nse of : their political slavery , and who clearly perceive that there is no equal social protection to labour under the Iaw ,. from the Parliament , or unions of labourers , so long as the political franchise is withhelJ , and thelaws , taiies , and force of irresponsiMo rule , constTucteid to oppress , defraud , and iiitimidata . We have met together in the metropolis for the purpose of demanding two concessiona from the governmeHt ; tho first is to permit the advocates ; of the rights of labour to describe its wrongs at the bar of the House of Commons , fha second , isto adopt , and pasH into law , an act conferring on all men who havo " ¦ arrived at the ago of . twenty-one , and who are of sound mind , the right of voting for members of Parliament , a 3 well as to enact Annual
Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , Equal Electoral Districts , no Property 'Qualification '' 'for 'M e / aybers of Parliament , arid Payment for Parliamentary Services . Should the first be conceded , a-3 it was granted to the uiiiehfranchised Canadians , you will , for the first time , be virtually represented in the House of Commons , and have admitted as jutt and right , the great principle for which we have contended . Should it be refused , our excellent friend and advocate T . S- Duncombe , Esq ., vrill then move the adoption of the principles in favour of which we are petitioning Should both be refused , w& may safely consider that the aristocracy have finally resolved to rob the people of evfery remnant of a hope of justice , and convince us that all our straggles are to be regarded with disdain , and bur prayers with contempt .
The means we propose for the purpose of effecting , the two objects stated , are , first , to carry down in procession to the House aNational Petition , embodying bur grievances , and praying for the remedy . ; and secondly , to support the prayer of that Petition by the personal presence of all those trades who may bo induced to take part in this new but most just and constitutional . ' - ' proceeding ; we have confident hopes that tho sigualures of three millions will produce : an impression upon the hardened hearts of the oppressors of industry . But we have far higher hnpea of the result should the powerful and organised Trades of fho Metropolis exhibit their determination firmly yet peacefully , not only to present a petition , but to be heard through those representatives at the Bar Of the House ,.- who in jus £ ico shauld should sit within it . We are fully aware that the trades could make an exhibition of
moral force if they were convinced of the justice of the attempt ; and surely we may expect sympathy and support from them in our new and grand undertakiu ^ whe n so many thousands of , their brethren are about to be struck down , unresistingly by the new enactment ? of the Government , This new result of irresponsible power ought to be met by anew and determined effort on the part of the people . Wo have offered you the means . Are yon , the trades of this great capital , to remain inactive when your feebler associations in the country have erected the standard of the suffrage 1 Are you to stand idle and permit your representatives to struggle against such fearful odds , aided only by- the few patriotic tra . dos "who havd hitherto courageously battled against despotic power , whether it waa confined to the acts of an overbearing agent or extended to t ^ e Tariff Bill of Sir Robert Peell We
believe better of such organised masses , who combine within themselves that machinery .-wh' -ch has made a government tremble within its guarded offices , and an imperious press bend and admit their power , We hesitate hot to -adin ' it , that 10 , 000 men from the . jsalously-watched unions would create more attention on the part of the Govetnment , the Parliament , and tha Pres ? , than uncounted myriads without organisation could arouse . We ask you , then , fellow-countrymen , ff you have grievances to complain of 1 It' so , do you desire the whole to be explained at tho bar of tho House of Co-nmons ? You have tho power to make our ' prayer , effectual . You have the means of giving imposing su-eiigth to our petiti&o . You have the power to avert calamity frqm the cottage threshold , and command redress from the palace portal . You have ihe power to turn away with a Btrong arm the sorrow and starvation of your weaker country men
You can forbid the impious hand of miggovernment to lossen the poor man ' s store . You have union , power , and wealth . You Want but the will to secure to yourselves that political franchise , without which the interestH of your trades must be at the moroy of eyery dabbling politician and speculating ministerwithout which you will be offered up an easy sacrifice to the power of the aristocracy of land and capital ^ and be made the scape goats for every minister , and the common prey of Bucoeeding rulers . Fellow-couutrymen , it 13 your right to bo heaTdin your own defence , at the bar of the House ; and upon your decision depends the success of our attempt to gain the fitst step towards liberty or justice . On Monday , the 2 ud of May , we go down with the petition in procession from Lincoln ' s Inn Fields , at twelve o'clock . Arouse yourselves for that important day !— " England experts every man will do his dots I * ' '

A number of the Siockport police were there long before the time of meetiug , a » d remained until the whole of the business vra . 9 concluded .
Mr . Felix M'Waco was called to the chair , and opened the business of the meetiDg , by calling upon all present ; to conduct themselvea in such a manner as the nature of the busiricsa required .

" Mr Taj'lor seconded the resolution .
Mr . Bailey from Manchester , supportea it in a short but telling speech . The Chairman put it to the meeting , and it was carried unanimously . Mr . Thomas Clark moved the Memorial in an energetic and soul-stirring speech , which called forth loud peals of applause . He concluded by reading the Memorial : — " To the Right Houourable the Secretary of State for the Home Department . "The undersigned Memorial of the Inhabitants of Stockport , in publio meeting assembled , " Humbly sheweth , —That on Tuesday , April 19 th , 1842 , a coroner ' s inque .-t was held in Stockport , on the body of Ebenezer Thomas Tallantine , of Stockport .
'' That the evidence adduced on the inquest seems to your Memorialists to bo contradictoi-y and unsatisfactory in the extreme . "That your Memorialista feel highly dissatisfied at the verdict given , by tho jury . " From circumstahees that havo come to the knowledge of your n-. einorialiyts , and from facts that have transpired , they fuel confident that the ( fender or offenders may be brought to justice . " iV ; at as it is a prerogative of lh » person filling vour hi /< h and responsible situation to issue orders tor a second inquest , on sufficient proof bdng adduced of tho necessity of ' the same .
