      TO THE IMPERIAL CELABT . IST 5 . Jtr BEA 3 . jFbiexds , —If eve ? « nr hody ^ deserved { be comprehensive name of Imperial Chartists the present is the time . ' I am about to pat you in posjiesion of all the : fecfca epnueeted with the glorious and memorable TietojywBsTedln Marylebone , by g * ranted body of ^ English Chartists and liy fo jjepealers . "Eoo learae ^ by last -week ' s Star , that jd attempt -was to ha made to get up a series of jJeiropoEtan meetings ibr ihe purpose of expressing English sympathy for Irish fJierances : the real object baDg , however , to enlist popular snppori for

      the restoration of the "Whigs io power . The London Ghar&fcs were not slow in seeing through the new "Whig dodger-while ibe Irish jxesolved opon testing them npon ihe qafistion of Repeal . As I never Seep any ' secrete from yon , I may Inform yon JhSi upon She ia ^ ee of onraJmosi only friend of Ms order , Mr . Dnncombe , we abstained from proposing a working man as an amendment to the proposition thai Sir Benjamin Hall should iafee the chair ; Mr . Dnneombei ' s opinion being , that snch coarse might probably lead toiTOptnre , and saddle the people ¦ wiQi the charge of disturbing the meeting , and preventing discnsaon .

      Is my opinion ibis advice was sound and prudent , inasmnch . as Chartism being the principle most dreaded , all the constgnences of confusion would hare been saddled npon us ; while anathemas and denunciations would hare been lavishly heaped upon the English Chartistsiy tfeosswlo dread their power . Under these circumstances , therefore , and with a fhB determination not to ^ rre the friends of Bepeal any , the slightest , cause of complaint , the Chartist Committee for arranging the preliminaries unanimously aequieseed in Mr . Duncombe ' s views , and came to the rssolunoQ of testing the judgment

      of ihe Irish people and tieir leaders , by confining ihe proceedings to Ihe furtherance of their one loTed and darling obj set j and in justice to both parties , as well -those who led on the Chartist fight for Ireland , as those who backed them well Tip as Joaders of the £ epa » l ^ i * ti « is Zcnda * , Imratay , that jxoihing could be more judicious than their conduct . The whole of Saturday and Sunday evenings , after the Star srrrred in London announcing osr determination to he present ai the meeting , were devoted to lasting up ior Wingiecralte in the Repeal wardsj and the «© nsegnence was a goodly muster of Irishmen .

      Sk Benjamin Hall read the four resolutions to me which were intended to he proposed to the meeting ; and to none Of which did I tibject , as declaratory of the injustice that Ireland had received at : he hands of England . I dealt fairly wish Mm , however ; and told him candidly , that while I acquiesced in the propriety of denouncing tyranny , I wonld not allow the meeting to separate Tnthoat « a unequivocal expression of opinion , as to the means of preventing a recurrence 1 $ evils . With thi 3 perfect understanding , Sir Benjamin HaH was allowed to fake the chair without

      opposition ; and , m justice to thai gentleman , I am hound to stats , thai a Letter , a more fiir # or impartial chairman , never presiaed otct a public meeting . The getters np o * the meeting were pnre "Whigs , and inown to 03 as sneh j while the object of fee meeting was to drive the Tories from power to makeioom for the "Whigs . Yon know , as well as I do , that it wenld not suit the purpose of expectants to declare openly the service which they hope to lender to their masters ; and therefore it 13 at all times thought - expedient that "Whig speakers should denounce "Whiggery from the platform : while the

      ascendancy oF their friends cools them down Tery speedSy to ihe old "Whig temperature . This dodge was extensively tried toi Monday ; hnt from its reception by the meeting , I learned the cheering , the gratifying and -wliolesoine lesson , thai public opinion had passed ihe bounds of prejudice , and was ont of the power of sophistry , concealment , or evasion . "Would to God that every werking man in England could hare witnessed the manner in which the most artfnBy cloaked Whiggery was disrobed hy -working-class penetrafion . I can truly say for

      myself that since that day I apprehend no damage to our cause , so danger to onr principles . Many of our best friends mourned the want of Organization , and from it dreaded defeat j while I assured them the people would xaByionnd the standard of principle whenever and wherever it was raised . As 1 presnme a fhB report of this important meeting will appear in ihi 3 week's Star , I need not enter minutely into the subject farther than is nec&sssrj to give yen some idea of the enthusiasm evinced by the English and Irish people during the proceedings and at their close .

      Whenever any doubtful sentiment was expressed ^ mliT ^ ardto the aagiit © f Ireland to a domestic legislature , disapprobation as frequently originated with ihe ^ rtgHsh as with the Irish portion of the ¦ rss t assembly ; while hoth joined In warm approyal of Tery sentiment is favour of Ireland ; and after the meeting , Englishmen and Irishmen were to be seen in groups shaking hands and congratulating each other npon their united triumph : Englishmen rejoicing that they had had an opportunity of evincing their lore of Irish liberty . In truth had ihe meeting been eonyened for a purely "English purpose ,

      the feig KWfr working classes could not by possibility hxre manifested stronger or warmer feelings . Bad fiiemeetingierminaieiJotherwise than it dI 3 jTre Slight hare apprehended some dissension in onr ranks from such a result , for the following reason : —Many of the best and staunchest Chartists of Maxylebor-e were invited to join the "Whig Committee ; and , in justice to them , I am bound to Bay , that while they acted henestly , and according to the Tery best of their judgment , yet , I fear , that the coarse originally intended , if pursnedj / would not have giTen general afitfacfion , and might haTe led to subsequent biekeriag , in our own ranks 5 while those > ery men at once and cheerfully acquiesced in the course which the Chartist Committee thought it their dnty

      to take , and were the first to impress npon the Chairman the indispensable necessity of adopting « nr Enggestions . One great error into which the Parliamentary 3 yhig 3 of Marylebone have fallen 13 this—when they wish to enlist the co-operation of the Chartist body , they haTe recourse to Mr . Savage &r asistancs ; whgreaa , if they were informed npon the troe ^ ate of local feeling , they might learn that there was no mods so pre-eminently calculated to disgust the Chartist fcody as tha ? of patting Mr . Savage fonrard as a supporter of their projects . 33 ie people of Marylebone have long Einca discovered that Mr . Savage belongs to the nondescript ** genus" of poBtJciaoE , and that the most certain "way to ensure defeat is to ensure tha co-operation of Mr . Savage .

      If any parties , whether in England or Ireland , have feen previously possessed of the notion that the agitxaon for Repeal win he allowed to degenerate inio a mere Whig triumph , Monday ' s meeting has Masted , and for er « destroyed the prospect ! while ii ¦ Bill ts&ch JSx . O'ConneD himself that the Irish people living in England know how to discriminate httween Ihe "Saxon" foeaad a * Saxon" frien d , let the whole phial t > T wrath he now poured out upon tlieie&d of Cbaxosm ; and , as far as the feeSngs-of InshmaiiB Eagland are concerned , ijtnll be harmless . The Uidon hasheen formed ; and ihe vengeance of the many will fall heavily npon the head of him who would dare to . deBtroy it . I always thought fiat sober Ireland wonld Bee for herself and with her own -open eyes .

      OLPBAItX—On Sunday last Mr . Davis delivered an address m the Chartist Room . Greaves-stTeet , -on ** the Sights of Labour . " At the weekly meeting of the members , on Monday evening last , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — ** That the lectures on Sunday evenings shall [ commence in future at half-past six o'clock ; and & 11 lecturers are requested to be punctual as to time . " XEAMINGTON . —The Chartists of Leamington and Warwick assembled in considerable numbers last Sunday , to hear three sermons preached by Arthur OMVeiL About 500 respectable and most attentive hearers were drawn together at each meetins . 0 ' . NeiTs sermons were quite of a modern

      Evangelical east ; and well adapted to suit the ffBritasieal character of & portion of'his auditors ; Jmt in the opinion of many others , badly calculated to promote the cause of awrerfal liberty , or to spread the principles of the Charter , which are inimical to sectarianism . O'Neil ' s sermon at three o ' clock breathed a spirit of intolerance that would have disgraced ihe Bishop of Exeter ; and appeared as if expressly concocted to render the Socialists of Leamington contemptible , and to hold up the principles of Socialism as a curse to man . There were several Socialists present ; but they only rmfled at O'Neil ' s efforts to obtain popularity at their expenca ; and as O'Keil staied that he expected he would soon he

      incarcerated in prison for maintaining his opinions , their sympathy led them to decline any reply to his very questionable statements . As to the Chartists , many of them felt much anneyed by O'JseiFs attack on the Socialists , and much disappointed that from one end to the other of the three sermons , there teas not n word uttered by ( TNeii in reference io " the Chjcrteb ? ' more especially as they felt convinced that it wasthe growing ardour of the people in favour of the principles of Chartism that led the majority of them to go to hear O'lN ' eil , the Chartist preacher ; asd hence they regarded his exertions as so much time and talent wasted , VI comse the Christian Chartists are tire best judges nptn this matter ; and O * Keil knows the earo . he has to play .

      HALIFAX . —A Delegate meeting was holden on Sunday last ; delegates prese&t , Mr . BuUerley and Mr . Cropland , Halifax ; Mr . Riloy , Mr . Bottomley , Siddal ; Mr . Cockcroft and Mr .

Cnlpon ;— That it is the opinion of , the delegates present that it is essential that a National Conference should be held for the reorganization of our Association ; but are of opinion that so longas no

      specified time is fixed upon , much delay may occur ; we therefore desire thatoach locality of our Association will declare their opinion upon the point . "We also coincide in opinion "with onr Sheffield friends , that Sept . Sih will be the best date yet named ; for while it will give sufficient time , it is as early as all can be properly prepared to carry out the objects of the meeting , as they ought to be .

" The separate cases of Messrs . Peplow , Leach , and Rail ion were then brought before the meeting , and discussed at some length , and terminated in the adopiion of tho following resolution . ¦ 4 th . —Moved by Mr . Stan-fieM , seconded by Mr . Bottomley : —** That we , highl y approving cf the economy used by Mr . O'Connor in the appropriation of the funds intrusted to his care , feel desirous to

      return him onr sincere and unabated thanfes for the many Eerrices he has rendered , both on this and all former occasions to the Chartist cause ; we also feel desirous that be would look into the separate cases of MeEsrs .

      " REBECCA" IN WALES . In consequence of the continued unsettled state of South Walesa owing to the determination of parties known by the designation of "Rebecca and her Daughters" to destroy property , and especially turnpike gates , orjder 3 were received at Woolwich at an early hour on Sunday morning , to have in readiness a ^ -pounder . field-gun and a 12-pounder howitzer , which was selected from the fiold-train department ; and at tea o ' clock a . m ., they left Woolwich with the usual numberjof men of the Royal Artillery required for their service in the field , under ; tha command of Captain Taylor , and Lieutenant Wodehouse . The orders were , ] to proceed to Bristol by the Great We 3 tern Railway , and from Bristol to Carmarthen with . th 8 least possible delay . —Times , Tuesday .

      { From our own Correspondent . ) Swansea , July 17 th , 1843 . I don't see anything worthy of notice in either of the two journals of this locality , the Cambrian , or the Journal , this week . The Welshman , Carmarthen paper , treats a good deal on the gate-war that has taken place lately , and respecting the trials of the prisoners . ! The Swansea Journal , ( Whig paper ) is full of a good deal of falsehood respecting the high * ways being many thousands in debt to the trustees ; particularly the Witch-Troo-Bridge gate , between Swansea and Neath , a distance of only eight miles , the expense of passing which , with a single horse aud cart , is Is . 3 d . ¦

      As " Rebecca and her daughters" have at length entered upon the gato-destruotion in this county , the magistral dsnwct every day ; but their meetings are mostly private . Tho first gato that was destroyed was at 3 pJpce called Belgoed , near Pontardulais , on the borders ; of Carmarthenshire , for which thero is £ lO 0 reward . The Witch-trpo-bridge gate , at Morristown , three miles from Swansea , is not yet destroyed ; bui " Rebecca" is reported to have threatened that it bhall bo . In consequence of these reported threats , fifteen or sixteen policemen have been placed to guard it ; and horses kept ready harnessed vo start to inform the authorities , should the threatened attempt at destruction be made . The other day a waggish bay at Morristown , sounded a horn , as an " advance" call of "Rebecca "; and tho policemen ran in all directions .

      On Friday rfight last , the Hth . some 300 of "Rebecca ' s" daughters destroyed the turnpike gate at PuKord-three- | Cro 3 se 8 , about Bix miles from Swansea , on tho Penelarid road . Notwithstanding the reward for the destroyers of the Belgoed gite . Rebecca" seeing determined ! to remove what she decm 3 publio grievances , on her own responsibility . I have sent you particulars of the liberation of a number of cattle frem Neath pound by " Rebecca . " You will not see the account in any of our Whig prints , because Earl Jersey ' s agents are goo ! d customers in advertising . Oa Thursday night , or early on Friday morning , the 7 th instant , u Rebecca and her Daughters "

      visited the town of Neath , and liberated ten horses from tho common pound , though it was within the confines of the town , and within sight of the police . However she accomplished her work without molestation . The horses in question had been seized by the agents of Earl Jersey , from a farmerwho held land under them : but the peculiarity in the case , and probably the causa , of " Rebecca ' s interference wa « , the fact that the cattle seized did not belong to the farmer , but to poor people who earned their livelihood with them , and put them out to the farmer to keep . It was considered a ca ^ o of great hardship :: and ** Rebecca" came to the rescue . Rescuo them she did ; and no reward has been offered for the offenders . "
