James Arnott moved the following address , which was unanimously adopted : — An Address from the Metropolitan District Council to ih / C [ Working Mm of London and it ? vicinity , who have been , but are not at present , members of the National Charter Association . Fellow Working Men , — -You , with whom we have acted ; you , who have heretofore been our fellow-labourera in the glorious cause of political redemption ; you , | Whose professions had almost led us to Believe that your very existence was bound up in the success of opr righteous cause ; we address vou , not in the
spirit ot vmdlctiveness : we address you with brotherly affection , and ask , what is the cause of the stolid apathy , of the death-like torpidity that now prevails among you ? Is it that our wrongs arc re dressed ? la it that our just demands have been conceded ? Are we now well fed , well clothed , contented , and happy ? Are we yet fully and fairly represented ? Have we a just , wise , merciful , and food gover ^ inent ? No ; we say emphatically , no . ' erhaps sofueof you havp come to the determination to sit down with folded arms , in contented slavery ; to see yourselves despised , neglected , abused , oppressed , amid the , scona and ieers of your oppressors ; those who are surtojmded with all the iuiuriea tliat unbounded wealth , and / power can command , whilst you , the industrious bees , from whom , all wealth springs , are reduced to destitution , want , and misery , caused by political degradation and the want of
legislative power . You have ceased your efforts—you no longer lajiour to emancipate yourselves and your ordej : from , thraldom and slave-like degradation . Perhaps you have doubts as to the efficiency of the Chapter , when enacted , to produce the good results Lalourfs sons were wont to anticipate . If such doubts exist , ye jjoiht your attention to the blessings abounding in those countries where the people have had the good senso to adopt tho principle contained in the Peoples ' Gharter . After a long , careful , and deliberate study of the Peoples' Charter * we still cling to the belief that that document is the most simple , ' yet most efficent , political document ^ ever hud before the people ; that it is the lever by which they will obtain political
power— " equal rights , and equal laws . " We have stated that manv of you have taken ah active part in our movement . Wo thought you sincere ; we thought you the staunch advocates of liberty , truth , and justice ; and that , like ourselves , you were the implacable enemies © f misnile . We are still at our posts , with the same determination glowing in our breasts , still resolved never to rest satisfied until the Charter shall become the law of the land . But where aro you ? We ask you , have you done your duty as brothers and as men ? Can you , as patriots , behold with calm indifference the murky and portentous atmosphere which now overhangs this misgoverned and oppressed nation ? Can you tamely view the
ruin" While lawless force with guilty s tride Spreads desolation far and wide ?" Can you , as fathers , valuing the destiny of your offspring , take a glance prpspectively with complacency or satisfaction ? Convinced aa you are that Class Legislation is the cause of existing evils , and persuaded as we aro that ours is the only effectual instrument to crush the hydra-headed monster , we call on you to put away your apathy—to cast aside your lethargy—to arouse yourselves , and again unite . Let all past disagreeable circumstances be forgotten . Rally onco more round the standard of Democracy :
givoyour support to our honest , taithtm , and assiduous Executive . Enrol yourselves in tho National Charter Association . We have now that bright luminary , the Northern Star , sliihing with increased splendour among us . Let us second , the noble , patriotic , and' unceasing exertions of its indomitable proprietor . Let unity of action and concentration of purpose be your prevailing characteristic . If you would receive your fair proportion of the wealth you create—if you . would tliat the many govern the tew , and not the 'few the many—if you would be powerful and free , vou must unite ' .
Come , now , let all unite , We will the Charter gain ; , And free our own-r-our . native land , From slavery ' s galling ch { 4 jpt ! . . -., Throw discord to the winds—united meet the fo « J j Know ye not who would be free , themselves ratt » t strike the blow ?

Visit of the Corn Law League to Rotueriiam and Sheffield . —On Monday , RichardCobden , Esq , and R . R . R . R . Moore , Esq ., visited Rotherham , for the purpose of bringing before the Association , the . intended operations oF the League in placing forty shil- < ling freeholders on the registry for the West Riding of Yorkshire . Application had been made to the magistrates by _ jChoinas Badger , Esq ., for the use of the Court-house for the occasion , and Colonel Fullerton , on the part of the magistrates , returned the following answer : — j' That the Court-house would be engaged on that day by the magistrates , who were as anxious to maintain the laws as Cobden and the League were to pull them ! down . " After applying at several
other places with like success , they were constrained to lire a club room in the "Three Cranes" pubiib house , where thethonourable member for Stockport , and Rory O'Moore related the "Sing Song tale " ( which seems to be going the round of the country ) to a seteet few of jtheir dupes . The whole aftair was " flat , stale , and 1 unprofitable . ' . ' In the evening the gentlemen visite ^ Sheffield , where the " Leaguers " had made great pjireparatkms to receive them— -& 11 the known Free-traders inifie town having been waited on and served with " circulars '' , there being no announcement of the meeting , save a paragraph . in the Independent . ' . At half-past six o ' clock toe , doors of the Music Hall were thrown open , when we discovered a whole posee of pblicenaen taking the
circulars as the parties presented themselves , and a Mr . " Jackey" Wardle acting the part of Inspector , to see that none but the " right sort" were admitted . At seven o'clock jthe deputation made their appearance , accompanied by the committee . The chair was taken by Edward Smith , Esq ., who opened the business by observing that it was strictly a Free-trade meeting , as proper steps had been taken to admit none but friends , ; and if any other were m the room , it must be by circulars that were addressed to other people ; but theyjhad taken the necessary precautions to maintain orujer , and he , thei'efore ,,. expected he would have but little to do but to sit and hear the gentlemen who jwould now address them . After apologising for the absence of Mr . Bright , who was detained in London , but whose place was well supplied by their warm-hearted Irish friend , R . R . Moore , Esq ., he introduced Mr . Cobden to the meeting . [ Itis use ^
less to give a report of Mr . Cobden s speech , as he has delivered the same to our knowledge , without one additional new sentence , at Hudderstield , Leeds , and Covent Garden . ! It would be as well to have . it stereotyped and jcirculated , and thus save the honourable fmembef much time in travelling , and the League uud'much expense . } At the conclusion of Mr . Cobdenjs speech , printed cards , with , the following insci'iption— "I have a desire to possess a qualification for the We ^^ Riding of Forkshire . Name—r **~ - IlesidlSfci- — = — " —werecirculatted among the meeting , "jj » tWfilled up , in order that they might know how sc&try new voters they were likely to gipt .

whq were not already qualified , and on the register '; but , there is nothing like pujf . ] The next speaker wasj R . 11 . It . RL Moore , Esq . We had been often told , tliat this gentleman was a great favourite with the jladies , and that but few could pick their pockets with so good a grace as he . We are not inclined to dispute this , if the remark be true " that ladies deljgnt in listening to soft nothings ; " for of all the displays of balderdash and rigmarole that it has been ourjlot to listenjto , Rory's was the "father of them all . ' " Save an age , " but didn't he spake " mighty grand intirely ! " and when he came to discourse of the condti ion of the agricultural labourers , didn't he cry in " rale earnest ; " and when he pulled out his clane handkerchief to blow his nose , we could not help thinking that he had descended from the real " Kecnthaughawns , " or else that he was intimately related to some ' of the " chief mourners" who were
present at the ; wake of " Tkddy Roe . " When the crying was over , Rory tried his hand again with the "ladies , " telling them that they could not beg any more this year , ) but they were going to have a bazaar in Covent-gardbn , and they must go to work , and either by begging or borrowing furnish them with something handsome from Sheffield to recruit their funds , and enable them to cany on the holy war . After some routine business , the meeting separated . —Citrreapondenl .

, and a Repeal of the Union . " 1 occupied about two hours in reviewing the state of that country . At the close of the lecture Mr . Miles attempted tb negative one of my propositions , viz . -. — "That the people of Ireland had ; a right to a Repeal of the Union . '' He denied that there was any such thing at all in existence as right arguing that all right was measured by and founded upon utility . In support of his position , he quoted Lord John Russell oil the presentation of the first National Petition , also Paley and David Hume . In reply , I contended , that if there was no such thing as right then there could be bo such thing as ivrong , aijid that Mr . Miles was not justified in complainingfof the present system , and if utility were to be taken as the standard of right , I wished to know who was to be the judge as to what really was useful . For , as in the case of the people of Ireland and the

Tory Government , the former declared that ; a Repeal of tne Union would be both right arid , useful , but the latter contended that it would be neither ^ Who , then , was to decide ? I gave it as my opinion that right was always useful , and that nothing short of making right the rule of action ^ ia society could keep society itself together ^ Afr . Miles complained that I had confounded political with social and moral rights ' . He did not mean tteit . I , on the other hand ; adopted the maxim laid down by Lord Ashley in the House of Commons , that , " what was morally right could not be polfticatly wrong , " and vice versa , " what was morally wrong could not be politically right . " The debate was carried on in the most friendly manner , and the meeting \ i ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
