HOME COLONIZATION . A great public meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , on Wednesday , Jane 1 st , by the Home Colonization Society , to consider the steps necessary to be taken to avert the rain of the middle and working classes of Booiety . Mr . Robert Owen wai announced to take the chair at half-past seven o ' clock , and by that period the large room of that splendid hotel was well occupied , many of the audience being of the fair sex . Robert Owen , on his arrival , was greeted with considerable cheering and was immediately moved to the chair . Several resolutions approbatory of the Home Colonization System , with an address and memorial to the Crown were adopted . The meeting was addressed with much pathos and eloquence by the Chairman , and by Messrs . L . Jones , A Campbell , Q . A Fleming , Buchanan , and others .
Mr . Fubzen moved as an amendment to one of the resolutions , " That full justice will never be done to the people until they are fairly represented in the House of Commons . " Several individuals addressed the meeting , wishing it to be moved as a substantive resolution . A person in the meeting having seconded the amendment , it was pat and negatived by a large majority . Perhaps the principal and most important feature of the meeting was the speech of Dr . Sleigh , the well known Tory pro-Corn L \ w lecturer , who stated , that although be differed in opinion from the gentlemen who had addressed them , and from their hononraWe chairman , yet no man respected his exertions more than he did . Having
taken an active part in returning the present Ministry to power , he took this first public opportunity of expressing bis disapprobation at the callousness of heart which they evinced towards their suffering countrymen j at the hustings they pledged tbemselves , and he pledged himself , in their names , that they would adopt immediate measures permanently to benefit the working classes . They bad violated this pledge ; they were continuing on the people of this country that horrible corse , tbe new Poor Law , and that still more infernal measure tbe Infant Factory BilL He was ashamed of bis instrumentality in assisting to return such men . It had taught him this lesson , that no permanent good could be effected until the people were fully , fairly , and freely represented , —(
tremendous cheering , )—and he was willing to go forward to the death in advocating the rights of tbe people . What remedy hod Sir Robert Peel proposed , bat such as would be sure to bring still greater misery upon them ? His ( Sir R . Peel's ) income-tax would rain tbe already impoverished shopkeepers and bis plausible tariff scheme would swamp ns with foreign competition , and would hurry to destitution the honest British artisan . Ha was confident that this subject could not be clearly understood by the working people of this metropolis , or they would arise and in a voice of thunder declare they would not be rained to save the pockets of an interested few . He cooM tell them that many high and influential persons were only waiting to see the men of the
metropolis come out and back them , and they would declare boldly for them . He bad been in conversation that very day with a person high in authority , who asked -why the men of London did not coma boldly oat , for ircat ? why . for fall , fair , and free representation—( cheers . ) He would take that opportunity of informing them that an influential society was about being established for that purpose ; it was now bis firm belief that until the people bad a voice in the legislature they would never hold op their beads in society , nor be able to protect tbemseleres from unfeeling landowner and grinding millocrats , who , under the garb ef Christianity has done more to produce sceptism than all tbe evils combined . He thanked them for the manner in
which they bad beard him ; he should not have intruded himself but be could not avoid this opportunity of retraclinc his previous sentiments and conduct which he had discovered to be detrimental to the interests of the country—( cheers . )

BIRMINGHAM . IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF THE CHARTISTS . A crowded meeting of the Chartists of this town was held at the Black Horse Inn , Prospect-row , on Tuesday evening hist . The meeting was called by circular and by public notice at the various meetings for the previous fortnight , for the purpose of enabling the friends of Chartism , and justice , and good oredr to confer together on the best plan for organizing and consolidating Chartist strength in Birmingham . The call was nobly responded to , and at the time appointed the large room was crowded , a number having to remain outside the door .
Mr . PetebHkslkt was called to the chair , and said that it had often been his lot to preside over various meetings , bat he felt that to be the most important that he had ever attended . They had met that evening to devise tbe best plan which their united judgment was capable of concocting , in order to consolidate and extend their power in Birmingham . He , therefore trusted that each individual present would enter on the subject with a friendly disposition and an ardent desire of forwarding the cause of liberty . He then called on Mr . George White to read an address to the people of Nottingham , which was ordered to drawn up at the Astonstreet meeting , on the previous evening . Mr . White read the address , which was received with loud cheers .
Mr . Wilkinson proposed and Mr . Fussell seconded its adoption , and it was carried unanimously . Mr . Thobpb then brought forward a motion to the effect that no member should be allowed to introduce personalities during the discussion that evening . Jt was opposed by Mr . Williamson , and withdrawn on the suggestion of Mr . Mason , the question being left in the hands of the Chairman . Mr . Mason then read a lengthy address from the acting Council in Birmingham , which contained a general description of the state of the cause and suggested several measures which the Council thought necessary to be adopted . Mr . White then addressed tbe meetiDg , and exp lained the necessity of a body of energetic and intelligent men being selected to watch over the Chartist cause , and give counsel and advice to the
Chartists on all occasions . He said that few towns were placed in such a position as Birmingham , as through the machinations of the old political union party , and other professing Chartists and sham Reformers , there was always some intriguing in order to create divisions and distrust , it was therefore necessary that some means should be adopted to keep a watchful eye on the people ' s interests , and extend their power , as he knew that the Chartists of Birmingham would prove an all-powerful body if they could only concentrate their energies . He then referred to the pretended Chartists , who said they only objected to O'Connor and the other violent leaders , and not to the Charter itself , and showed various other reasons for appointing a Directing Council , who would take care to raise up an allpowerful body of sound Chartists , and oppose the machinations of all mere pretenders . He would therefore move the following resolution .
" That a directing council be now appointed to consist of five persons , and that they be impowered to perform the following duties , viz ;—To assemble together from time to time , and consult together on the position of the cause in Birmingham , snd after due deliberation to lay before tbe various councils the plans -which they think necessary—the same to be afterwards brought before the members by the councils , to be either approved of or rejected by them . That the directing council be also empowered to act in all cases of emergency , such as providing a room for a lecture , getting out placards , and making arrangements for opposing any meeting where the
interests of the people are attacked , but that they BhaU not be allowed to handle any money belonging to the Association . That they make arrangements for holding public meetings in various parts of the town , providing lecture rooms , getting up tracts , laying out collecting districts , and superintending the managements which are considered necessary to the establishment of pure Chartism in the town and neighbourhood , and at the same time keep a watchful eye on the district . at large . That they report once a month to a meeting called for that purpose , and be authorised to act for three months , at the expiration of which time another election shall take place . "
Mr . White wished that to be added to the plan read by Mr . Mason , and if it was agreed to , it would , he had no doubt , enable them to be unanimous . The Chairman enquired whether Mr . White meant to do away with the Executive Committee of Birmingham as an active body , as he seemed to wish five men elected under a different name . . Mr . Whits replied that he did , as he thought the word " Executive" to be improper , as applied to one town . He also thought it would be best to select the directing body at a meeting of Chartists like the present .
Mr . Williamson and others t ' aen addressed the meeting , and it was determined that Mr . Mason ' s address , and the propositions attached to it . should

be discussed separately , and that Mr . White ' s resolution should be put afterwards . - Mr . Mason then proceeded to . read tbe propositions , which were discussed separately . The first , which recommended procuring a commodious place of meeting , was carred unanimously . The second , which recommended itne expulsion of members who absented themselves for three weeks , was rejected . The third , proposing that only one open air meeting should be held in a week , and that the Executive of Birmingham should have the controul over it , was amended , on the motion of Mr . White . The other propositions were agreed to after a warm discussion , in which Messrs . Mason , Thome , Wilkinson , Fussell , Thorpe , Eames , Follows , Welsford , and others , took part . •;¦ . '¦ . - ¦" . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' - ¦; , ' Mr . Fussbll then
proposed" That the carrying out of the proposition be entrusted to the Executive of Birmingham , and that four persons be added to their number . " Mr . White then arose and brought forward his resolution as an amendment , and spake on the necessity of doing away with the Exeoutive , and substituting a body elected by a Conference of the ChartiBts generally . Mr . Mason thought it would be better to allow Mr . Fussell's proposition to pass . A vast deal of discussion followed , the memmembers of the Executive affirming that Mr . White's resolution might bo construed into a sort of censure on them , after which they all resigned with the exception of Mr . Fussell .
Mr . White denied any intention of censuring them , and said they would all be liable to be elected as members of the directing oounoil . After a prolonged debate Mr . White ' s resolution was carried , only two hands being held up against it . The meeting then proceeded to the election * ' of . 'five persons to act as directing council , when Mr . Gso . White , Mr . John Mason * Mr . Thomas Soar , Mr . J . Wilkinson , and Mr . Saunders , were uLanimously elected . Messrs . Walter Cooper , Peter Henley , and A . Fussell , were nominated , but declined to act . A vote of thanks was then given to Messrs . Follows , Corbett , Henley , Lindon , and Fussell , for their
services as the Birmingham Executive . A vote of thanks was also proposed by Mr . White to the worthy ohairman , for his exemplary conduct and ability at such a warm and animated discussion as the one just closed . It was carried unanimously with loud applause . The Chairman thanked then * for that mark of their esteem , and trusted that although they had of necessity differed in opinion on points brought before them that evening , that they would , like him , leave the meeting without an ill feeling towards any individual , and be determined to redouble their exertions for the Charter . The meeting was then adjourned to that day month ;

BXtASFOBD .- — - Anniversary . —Upwards of 100 members ef No . 1 Lodge , Roy&Uason" of the Independent Order of the Golden Fleece , Bradford Unity , sat down to a sumptuous dinner , provided by the worthy host and hostess , Mr . and Mrs . Smith , Shoulder of Mutton Inn , Bradford ; after having done ample justice to the good things on the table , the Secretary read over the state of their finanocs , which was very flattering and prosperous . It was agreed that £ 103 should be deposited in the hands of their bankers . After the cloth was withdrawn , a band of music , in military dresses , was ushered into the room , to enliven the company , Which was very large ; singing and dancing commenced , and was kept up until a late hour of the evening , when the company separated , highly delighted with the pros-{> erity of the lodge , and the harmony and brotherly eve that existed amongst them .
HoBTON . —Funebal Pbocession . — On Sun day last the members of the Independent Order of the Golden Fleece , B . U . attended the funeral of brother George Bowles , of No . 14 , Good Intent Lodge , held at the house of Mr . John Reid , Kings Arms Inn . The company was very numerous and respectable ; the procession was headed by the president and the vicepresident of the Lodge , with their insignia of officea silver star . The members each wore a black silk scarf , and white gloves . P . G . M . Gatfenby , after th e i nterm e nt o f the d ecease d , read the funeral oration of the Order , in a very solemn manher . The members then formed in procession again , two abreast , and went over the grave one on each side , and deposited every one a piece of ever-green therein .
Little Hobton Teetotal Ban © . —— About five months ago , a band of music , bearing the above title , was formed in this village , consisting of twenty-one members , each pledged to the principles of total abstinence . Some of the parties have since broken the pledge , and wished the band in consequence to be called the '' Moderation Band . '' _ ¦ A division took place , when there appeared for the original name , twelve : against it , eight . : One of the parties remained neutral . The teetotal party ottered the others tho drum for their share ; they were dissatisfied ; and accordingly on Thursday morning , in the absence of the landlord of the Temperance Hotel , where they met , they entered the house , and took forcible possession of the drum , box , books and money which it contained , and decamped therewith .
SHEFFIELD . —Atrocious Outrage bv a Soldier . —A most brutal : outrage was perpetrated by a corporal of the Queen ' s Bays ( quartered at the barracks in this town ) , on Friday last , May 27 . It appears that on the afternoon of that day , a young man named Ashberry , respectabl y connected , with two or three companions and their dogs were passing the barracks , whea one of the dogs ran into the yard , and waa struck by one of the soldiers , upon which one of the young men said , "Coine , you will let that dog alone ; you'll get marked for that ; I shall know you again . " . The soldier replied"Yes , you b—^ -r , _ I shallknowyou again ; I shall mark you out . " The four youDg men then passed on . Corporal John M'Kinnon , who was in command
of the guard , took the sentinel ' s carbine from him and saying , "Come , let's walk ; into the b——rs , " pursued the party fifty or sixty yards up the lane ; he first : struck at a young man named Dale , but missed him ; he then struck at Ashberry , and felled him to the ground b y a two-handed blow with the butt-end of the carbine on the back part of the head . Ashberry was immediately conveyed to the Infirmary and received every attention , but fears were entertained at first that the blow was a fatal one . M'Kinnon . was taken into custody , and on Saturday was examined before Wilson Overend and W . J . BagshaWi Esquires . Several witnesses deposed to the foregoing facts ; and it was given in evidence that on returning to the barrack-gates M'Kinnon remarked that "he had served the b——r right , " adding that "he would have served him right if he had killed him . " It seems that the stock of the carbine Was broken with the force of the blow . On the other hand , three soldiers of the Queen ' s Bays , who appeared as witnesses for
the prisoner , stated that much abusive language was used by the young men in the first place . The case was then remanded till Tuesday . On Tuesday , the prisoner ( who in the meantime bad been allowed to remain at the barracks ) was again brought before Wilson Overtttdi W . J . BagshaWi and Hugh Parker , Esqra . Mr . PaJfreyman , who , as on Saturday , appeared for the prosecuting parties , urged that the prisoner had been guilty of wounding Ashberry with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm , and should be committed for trial on the capital charge . The Magistrates could not see that the charge of wounding with intent &c , was proven . Ultimately , the prisoner was liberated on bail , two sureties of £ 20 eaoh , to answer the charge of assanlt at the sessions . We understand that , on Tuesday , Ashberry was pronounced to be likely to recover , though not yet absolutely out of danger .
Leeds New Impbovement Bill . —This Bill has been referred to a select Committee of the House of Commons , before whom the respective claims of the Town Council and the Magistracy ( the former to have the : entire management of the Act , and the latter to ' have an ex officio part in that management ) have been urged by Counsel ; and the decision of the Committee is , by eight to six , that the Executive shall be vested in the Town Council alone . This is as it should be . The Town Council is an elected body . As Bach , they w i ll b e reachable b y those w h o will have the rates to pay , should there be need to reach them . The mytly-maxty mass , the hodge-podge sort of an Executive originally proposed , formed partly of elected Comraiesioners , partly of members
ef the Town Counail , self-elected , and partly of the ex officio Magistracy , not elected at all , would have been , a most harmonious and a most responsible body to the rate-payers at large ! The decision of the Committee of the House of Commons , to vest the Executive power in the hands of one body alone , responsible for its acts to those from whom the money to be expended has to come , will give unmixed satisfaction to all but the-Magistracy themselves , who , no doubt , will be most woefully chagrined at the loss of patronage they have sustained in being cut-off from all connection with the Execution of the new Bill , should it become law . There may be , and there is , strong opinions as to the wisdom of the decision of the Committee in vesting the
power in the Town Council , as the best body that could be found or formed . The only reason why we rejoice at the decision of the Committee is , that they have fixed upon a body responsible : a better body would have been found in a Board of Commissioners , DiBECTLY elected by the rate-payers under the Act ; and this was what the inhabitants determined upon in public meeting assembled ; and for this determination they became subject to the abuse and misrepresentation of the interested , Who were anxious to have in their grasp all the patronage the Execution of the Act would confer . The Committee have also made some other alterations in this Bill , particularly one relating to the expending of
large sums of money raised by the rate-payers without their direct consent . We find this alluded to in the following terms , in a Whig paper , published in a neighbouring town : — M The same Committee have also struck out the clause restricting the Executive to the expenditure of £ 500 in any one year , unless with the consent of the ratepayers in vestry assembled ; and left it with the Council to declare what improvements shall be made , giving them full power to expend and to borrow any eum of money they may think necessary . Holding the opinion that the Council and nbt the Magistrates , is the body in whom the Executive ought to be vested , we nevertheless object to the re-

moval of the very wholesome controul which the £ 500 clauae would have given to the ratepayers in vestry assembled over that Executive . It la true the Town Council are popularly elected , and responsible to the burgesses at large ; but in the ^ expenditure of large sums ^ of inoney for making very extensive alterations and / improvements , it would fee quii ? * & well if they were required first to consult the ratepayers on the subject , who have the ways and means tb raise If , however , the ratepayers have lost this wholesome check , through the busy meddling of Messrs . Hobson , Frazor , and a few Others of the same stamp- —and they alone are to blame for it- —there will exist the greater necessity for a vigilant eye
being kept upon the representatives in the Council . " This may be received as demi-official . It was manufactured in Leeds , by a hanger-on of the Whig camp ; and may be taken as a sample ot ' the reckless misrepresentation and lying rasorted to by the squad to bolster up their lying cause . The writerregrets the loss of the clause restricting the outlay of more than £ 500 ia any one year , without the consent of the rate-payers in vestry assembled : and he charges the loss of that Clause upon Messrs . Hobson and Fbaseb ! The daft fool ! Why the clause itself never Would have had existence , had it hot been for Mr . Hobson ! It was moved by him , and carried by the vestry , on his motion , in spite of all the efforts
of the Whig party to prevent it !!! And it has now been got rid of through the influence of the Whigs in the House of Commons' Committee Wi th the ktter portion of the Whig scribe ' s remarks we fully concur . "There will exist the greater necessity for a vigilant eye being kept upon the representatives in the Council , " now that they are likely to be entrusted with powers so large and comprehensive asthe new Act will confer . Aye , and " ther 6 will exist the greater necessity" for the people having more representatives oh that
Council than they no vrh * va I The seekers : after patronage must not have it all to themselves I Let the working people look out ! There should be committees formed immediately , to see to the registry of working men voters . Plans of action should also belaid down ; candidates sought out , and fixed upon ; the probabilities and chances of success duly ascertained ; the enemy ' s camp full y reconnoitred ; and all preparations made for a vigorous sally next November . We commend this work to the immediate notice of the ; working men .
HUDDERSFIELD . —Commisseration of a Whig Factoby Lobd .-tA well-knowa millowner has been manifesting his usual sympathy to the poor .. A widow had her husband killed in the mill alluded to , at ' , which time- they were in arrears for rent three pounds nineteen shillings , to the said m il lowner , whose extreme feejaeyolence prevented him from exacting the same . Since that time she has been supported by her son , on whom * she solely depended . Unfortunately , however , the son met the same fate as hia father in a manufactory belonging to a Blue Lord , a short time ago ; the proprietors of which gave orders that the poor widow should be . '* removed into their neighbourhood , where they would support her . This desire to piotect the widow having reached the ears of the former very pious and humane millowner , he immediately ordered the furniture to be stopped until he received his three pounds nineteen shillings !! We understand the widow offered what little she had , which was refused .

TO THE FUSTIAN JACKETS , THE BLISTERED HANDS , AND UNSHORN CHINS . My Deab FBiENDS . -rWhile I am working more like a horse thau a human being , there is a set of idle , dissatisfied , snivelling f e l lows who , while they do nothing themselves , make a practice to snarl at all that others accomplish . However , I rely upon facts and not upon noise , for proof of the success of some of my tactics . Yoii w > U , recollect how I was assailed for my anti-Whig policy , when I first announced it from York dungeon ; but , my friends ; with what pleasure do I now refer to my prophecy . I then stated that when the Whigs found their old opponents Btedfastly seated on the Treasury benches , they would go mad before the dogdays ; and that , if we showed that our agitation commanded more strength than the Anti-Corn Law , or any other agitation , the Whigs , after throwing off the bile of their wrath against the Chartists , would at length be compelled to form their opposition upon our principles :
Now then , for facts , not noise ; and mark what has transpired even within the' last weeki- Mr . Sbarmah Crawford brought forward his motion against the income tax , in which he stated that . it w&a unjust to lay on a new tax , orany taxindeedin the present imperfect state of the representation , and contended for the Suffrage ; and what followed-1 Why the exact fulfilment of my prediction :-t-. '"'Mr . O'Connell confessed that the motion might have been mado in a more convenient form , but still he could not cancurin . all that had been advanced by the Right Hon . Baronet . There was an
impression in the minds of Hon . Members who had obtained their seats by no unfair means , that if the time should come when the alterations which they thought necessary were definitively refused to be made by giving a bona fide Buffrage , ^ the period jnight also come when thoy would bd induced to give more obstruction to the measures of Government than hitherto . That it was necessary to purify the House from bribery was no longer a matter of declamation , but of positive proof . The Right Hon . Baronet must not be surprised , therefore , if he met with further opposition to a Government which would not consent to further Parliamentary Reform . "
Now , then , my friends , in the above few hnesyou have the fulfilment of my prediction . Mr . O'Connell has now Stated the principles upon which opposition to Governmtnt is to proceed , and that it is 4 o be based upon a demand for a " bona fide" suffrage , which means our suffrage . Hence hava we succeeded , after a seven years' struggle , in establishing the first opposition to the construction of the House of Commons , and no matter whether br no that opposition shall be sincere , public opinion will have something to apeak through , and is novr , thank God , too mature and honest to be again duped . . - .
I told you that the Whigs would promise an organic change , when all hope of holding possession of the loaves and fishes ; by promised administrative improvements had fled ; and that they would cease to be angry With the nation , when to the nation they were compelled to look for support . Added to this , after the 5 th of July you will see the landlords in all but open revolution against the new tariff , and the fundlords , and the Church . So that out of party chaos at last must come Chartist form , order , and rule . So much for general policy ; and now as regards Mr . Sturge . In all my letters I said that . he was too good for his party , and his speech last night has convinced me of the truth of my assertion , as well as
of the fact that Mr . Sturge's greatest difficulty is m reconciling bis own order to the apparent magnitude of hia conceptions . The old practical Whigs of the late administration now no longer represent the theory of Whig « ery ; public opinion has thrown them over-board , and is fast rallying round the principles of the People ' s Charter . We have stood like men , and will stand to the death ; and as the mountain would not budge - ' "towards Mahomet , Mahomet has at length , moved towards the mountain . So let the eaves-droppers and assassins fire away , while I hold my stand oa the mountain top . Ever your friend , FbABGUS O'CONNOB . Nott i n g ham , Thursday , June 2 d , 1842 .

A Tbanspobtable Ofjpence !—The annals of Bow-street tell us that a " simple looking young fellow" was brought up lately ou a charge of being found in the neighbourhood of Whitehall under suspicious circumstances . The " circumstances" that had attracted the attention of her Majesty ' s bluecoated figure-men were , that he bad been seen for some days " lurking "—to use the informer ' s - ¦' words , though it does not appear there was any attempt at concealment in the case— "lurking about the premises of Sir Robert Peel ; " and oh being taken into custody for the high offence of walking on the flaggings of her Majesty ' s highway during a space of time that the said functionary chose to think r suspicious , he
stated that he was in great destitution , and that he was waiting about Sir Robert's house in order to speak to him When he came out , in hopes he would provide him with some employment . The annals proceed to ' state '* '' * that the police magistrate , ATr Hall , gave the prisoner a severe reprimand" —for what \—for his " foolishcbnduct . " "If , " continued the magistrate , such conduct were to be allowed , Sir Robert Peel would be constantly molested by impudent persons ; either fools or knaves . " If the worthy magistrate had stopped here , we would not have troubled ourselves with any extracts from this diary of crime and folly . But Mr . Hall went onto tell this foolish lad that "for what he had done he was how liable to be transported . " Can it be possible that he used these words ? la it in the power of a London Police Magistrate to commit a wretched
object of destitution , in order to have him transported for the offence of waiting about a gentleman ' s door to speak to him when he comes out \ If such be the law upon which police magistrates can act , far preferable is the case of the West Indian slave , who knows that he can be flogged at the whim of his master ; and therefore may make up his mind , in dogged obduracy , for the chance of its infliction , to that of the British pauper , who cannot stand before a great man ' s door iu expectancy of an opportunity to present an humble appeal to his humanity . But perhaps this stipendiary , who appears to havo a disposition which might admirably qualify him for an instrument of Russian despotism , only wished by a little stretch of his prerogative to ingratiate himself with Sir R . Peel ; if so , we guess he will be disappointed .

ADDRESS FROM THE CHARTISTS OF BIRMINGHAM TO THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM , Head by Mr . George White , at a numerous meeting of Chartists , proposed by Mr . J . Wilkinson , seconded by Air . A . Fussell , and carried unanimously . Fellow Cocwtbymen , —In the midst of the sham fights of dishonest partisans , It is refreshing to see a
body of men really engaged in an endeavour to emancipate themselves from the accursed system which has grown op under the odious domination of Whig and Tory factions , who have bo Ions wielded the destinies of this great nation ; for such is the gross and shameless mockery of representation exhibited by the elections of the present day , that they are an insult to common sense , and instead of being considered as the most important and sacred of men ' s duties , they have become an intolerable nuisance .
We , the Chartists of Birmingham , bail you as brothers , and desire to add our congratulations to the many others which you have received . You are entitled to the thanks of the suffering millions for the noble stand which you have made against the usurpers of your rights , and the infamous jobbers who intended to transfer you from one faction to another , as if you were so many sheep . The working men of England have too long remained dormant , whilst cruel and malignant traffickers in corruption have
been allowed to mock their sufferings , at each time that the battle for plunder took place . Too long have we allowed ourselves to be the mere shuttlecocks of party , and quietly allowed our families to be plundered and brought to poverty by those public cheats . But the case is now about to be altered . The working men of England are at length beginning to find out the real cause of their sufferings , and are determifled to enjoy the right which is inseperable from man .
Persevere , then in the work which you have so nobly begun , and set an example to the world of disinterestedness and lore of liberty , and show the traducera of the working classes that you are capable of uoble actions , and let tjrauts learn through your condact at the ensuing election , that you are determined to burst the unholy bonds with which they have bound you , and let the world behold the glorious spectaole of an impoverished and down-trodden people , rejecting with scorn the bribes and allurements of those who have robbed you of every thing dear to man , and who have carried woe and famine into the homes where , but for their oppressive acts , happiness and plenty would have existed . Now , now is the time to act your part like men
resolved on freedom ! Spare no pains in your endeavours to secure the return of Mr . Joseph SruBQB . Remember that in supporting him you are working out the deliverance of your wives and families from wretchedness and poverty . Let the Chabteb be your watchword—and set at defiance the tricks , sophistry and machinations of those who have robbed us of every comfort and made onr homes desolate . Relying on your well known zeal , and energy , and trusting that you will nobly perform your duty , We remain , Your brothers in bondage , The Chartists of Birmingham . Peteb . Henley , Chairman .

THE NON-ELECTORS OF NOTTINGHAM . The following address was agreed to at a general meeting of the Council . at Nottingham last Monday evening : — Dear Chartist Bbethben and Sistebs , —We appeal to you in behalf of tbe Non-Electors' Committee , for a ? 8 i £ tance to carry out , if possible , the return of Joseph Sturge , Esq ., the Chartist candidate—they being all poor men , and supported by their labour , which they ran the risk of losing by opposing themselves to some of the opposite party , and onght to meet with the assistance of their patriot brethren and listers ; we , therefore , more confidently make this appeal to their sympathies . Oar object as a body is to
convince the Whig and Tory factions of the soundness of our policy , in first making use of the Tories to bury the Whigs ; and then , by the same process , to smother the Teries . Our brave O'Connor approves of this policy ; and , as Mr . Sturge has publicly pledged himself to maintain our whole principles , if elected , and is one of the best men that could have been selected by the men of Nottingham to carry oat the parity of election , having resolved not to expend one penny in the usual way of bribery , by direct or indirect means , those honest working men most be paid for their time and hard labour , in watching the movements of the fa& tions ; and ¦ we believo it to be the bounden duty of all true ChartiBts to assist in this great straggle . Therefore , ire trust oar appeal will not be made in vain for their aid and assistance .
Subscriptions will be thankfully received by Mr . James Sweet , the Treasurer , Goose Gate , Nottingham , to whom all communications must be sent . We are , dear Brethren and Sisters , Yours , in the bonds of patriotism , The members of the Council resident in Nottingham . : Signed en their behalf , Joseph Gbkbhshitb . Chairman .

We also farther beg to assure you , Honourable Sir , that we entertain for you the highest feelings of respect and esteem which it is possible for men imbued with tbe principles of true democracy to entertain for the most exalted in patriotism of their fellow men ; and that we look forwards to your future political career with the fondest hopes , and the most fervent and brilliant anticipations , that you , who have so benevolently lent Tib a helping hand , under circumstances when you were made the butt at which the shafts of envy and malice were hurled by Tory and pseudo-Radical , will , when the halo of glorious victory shall crown oar untiring efforts in tbe cause of oar oppressed brethren , still be found side-by-side with all those who struggled for " right against might , " and have been found " faithful unto the erid . "
And in conclusion , respected Sir , ardently wishing you health and happiness , that you may lonjfbe the representative of the borough now so distinguishedly honoured , and that success may speedily crown all your efforts in the cause of freedom , we beg to assure you of our increased esteem and respect .
