      need now eniartain so fears ; white the boldest will , of neoetsity , acquire fresh vigtwr , from tbe fact cf every tiring , wbieh was repposed illegal in the constitution and government of that association , being so modified and altered , as to biinj it perfectly within the law . This your Delegates kave exerted their utmost powers cf discrimination and prodenee to accomplish : we believe that we hare ^ twmipi ?*^ ^ . ^^ belisriog that we cave done so , and , knowing the importance of a universal mod « , as well as a Barrens ! principle of action , we call now upon you , Out ChautUto cf Great Britaia , to rally round and enrol ywnselve * as member of tbe National Charter Associsiko of Great Britain , as one chief means of securing the enaction of that mwsore of universal rights—the People's Charter .

      Yoor redemption is in you * own hands . We earnestly estreat you to maintain your position , and to take continual steps in . advance . We feel gratefnl for the manner in which you hare proved to the factions , at their own meetings , that they can do nothing without you ; and that without your aid all progression must cease . But it is not enoo ^ h that you figbt aad defeat the factions on thair own grounds—not enough that you negative their movements—it ia incuiabent upon yon to do something positive . Many of you oppose the common enemy , but take no active Bteps to acsmrplish your country ' s freedom . Tou enter not the Association—you . subscribe not to the funcL :-i * d seldom even attend the pnblic meetings devoted exclusively to the people ' s freedom . This most not be . Every man raust be found at his post , instant "in season and out « f crzao *; " strengthening tbftbandi ofhubrethrea , and aceiuas to t&ke converts of his neighbours .

      Yea feel the distress which preralU ; your own wants , and those of your families , many of you cannot supply ; yonr neighbours and friends are each day iailing into a state of deplorable misery ; and yet , with every power to prevent it , yon allow this state of thing * to ba perpetuated . But there are hopes of better doing * , and worthier actions . We have long , too long , been split into factions . Let factions sink ; and stand errct as men . Unite . ' unite ! and the cause of justice wiU be gained . From the amended plan of organisation , which we present humbly unto you . you will perceive that the Executive Committee of the Association will shoiily be elected , and commence their labour *; and from the balance sheet of the Provisional Executive you will perceive , also , that inunediats provision must be made for their sustenance . We trust we need not urge this subject further . You will of conrse provide , and that instantly , for thosa whose time and labour are devoted to your service . .

      The condition of the incarcerated victims of oppression has occupied , in part , the attention of yoor delegates . We find that you have , in many cases , acted nobly by them—to those instances of national feeling we point with pride and satisfaction , and we exhort you not to slacken your exertions . Friends and Fellow Countrymen , —The issue is with you . Success lies right before you . Onward and succeed ; defeat , discomfiture , and rain , are behind ; retreat sjad you encounter tkenu Let union , prudence , and determination , be inscribed upon yonr banners , and the victory is safe . Force your enemies to feel , and your friends to see , that your steps tend always , and UMwervinsly , to the one point of tcnixxnai libertyliberty without limitation , to the full extent of rightwithout qualification other than the fora and energies of manhood ; and that which ia thus consistently and unitedly sought after by a whole people shall be obtained . ¦ ii i . . ^ i i i

      ^ GLORIOUS DEFEAT OF THE WHIGS AT YORK . ' TRIUMPH OF CHARTISM ! On Thursday and Friday evenings , the Whigs held meetings , at tbe Merchants' Hall , Fossg&te , for the purpose of expressing their approval of Lord John Russell ' s R eg istration Bill for England , and tbe disapproval of Lord Stanley ' s Bill for Ireland , and in support of the Bill of Lorrt Morpeth for Ireland . The Erst meeting was for Walmgate , MicUegate , and Castlegate Wards ; and may be fairly stated as a hole-and-corner meeting , aa the town was not placarded . On Friday , it got to the Chartist * ' ean , and a number of them accordingly attended , the Hall being crowded to excess . About eight o ' clock , H . R . Yorke , Esq ., tbe candidate for th » forthcoming election , arrived , attended by C . H . Elsley , Esq ., the recorder , Geo . Leeman , E sq . , Captain Taylor , and most of the influential men of tbe Whig party ; the Recorder being called to the cb&ir .

      Mr . Pearce , editor of the Yorkshire / nan , the pretended onmasker of Chartism , moved the first resolution , in favour of Lord John RuBsell's Registration Bill , which be accompanied with a number of remarks , praising the Whigs and calling tbe Tories . His speech did not produce much effect upon his auditors . Mr . Smith seconded the motion , in a short speech . The motion was put and carried . Mr . H . R . Yorke next came forward , and in the conrse of his speech praised Lord John Russell ' s measure , and abused Lerd Stanley's;—he declared himself an independent man , standing up for no party bnt one , the people , and was t&e next moment lauding their enemies .

      Mr . Hardk an proposed the next resolution , In favour of Lord Jlorpeth's , and against Lord Stanleys measure . He occupied himself with proving the gallantry of our troops in shedding the blood of many whom th « y ha * never seen or known before . Tbe tokens of disapprobation from the Chartists soon put an end to his cold-blooded speech-Mr . Geo . Leekan , solicitor , seconded the resolution in s long speech . The Chairmax was about to put the motion , when Mr . Edward Bdklet , » working man , got np , and was received with tremendous applause . After pointing out the shuffling of the previous speakers , relative to the Suffrage question , he proposed the following : —

      " That this meeting is of opinion that the Regi&trat ion Bill for Irelan d , brought into Parliament by Lord Stanley , is tyrannical in the extreme ; and regrets that it is sanctioned by so many English Members , which fully demonstrates , that no justice is to be expected for the people of this kingdom from the House of Com m ons , as at present constituted , nn til t h e p e « ple get controul over its Members , by the extension of the Suffrage to all men twenty-one years of age , of sane mind , and unconvicted of crime ; and pledges itself never to rest content until we are fully and fairly represented upon tbe aforesaid principle . " ( The reading of the amendment was received with gr * at cheering . ) The speaker then exhibited the failu r e o f t h e Re f o rm Bill , exporrd the various acte of tke Whigs in office , and commented upon Lord John Russell ' s Bill for the continuation ot the Poor L&w Commissioners at an expence of £ 60 , 850 per annum . He sat down amidst loud

      cheers-Mr . Chaeles Stuart , plasterer , rose for the purpose of seconding the resolution . He remarked that justice could never be expected from the House of Commons , until the people had a fair and uncontrolled voice in the election of Members of Parliament . ( Appiattce . ) His opinion went tlius far , that every tone » t man of twenty-one years ef age and upwards , of sound mind , and who bad never been convicted of crime , should have a voice in the election of Members of Parliament ( Applause . ) Gentlemen might think it presumptuous of him , standing there that night with his moleskin

      coat on , before so many learned gentlemen with their black coats on , to insist upon a fair hearing f « r tbe political rights of the people ; but be would tell these gentlemen who sat upon his right and upon his left , smiling under their top-coats and macintoshes , that if It was not for the carer se contained under the moleskin coat they would not be able to maintain their position . Mr . Stuart referred to the New Poor Law , and drew the attention of the people to Lord John Russell ' s bill , for the extension of power to the Commissioners for ten years . The Poor Law itself was tyranny in the extreme

      —( applause )—and that bill was not to amend it;—tapplaase )—but to give power to the whipper-in to torture , for other ten years , the konest poor of the country , that unfortunately came within the walls of his kennel . ( Cheers . ) Fellow working men , said Mr . Stuart , surrounded as I am with poor-law , guardians , councillors , snd attornies , and the influential gentlemen of the city of York , it will be hard for me to remove off your minds , that which they have instilled into them , by their eloquent * of speech and the power of their purse ; but , I tell you , that yon must do your own work , and then you may rest assured that it will be well done . { Applause . ) Prove that you are determined to do it to-night , by giving your support

      to the amendment for ¥ niversa ! Suffrage . The object of bringing you here to-night is , that there is likely to te a dissolution of Parliament shortly ; hence there will be a spawn of locusts coming to rally on your shoulders for support But be aware of the enemy ; do not let them enter your camp without they have your watchword , that is " Universal Suffrage and no surrender ; " and thus will you be enabled to bid them defiance in their attempt to bring you into another political Whiggish snare . { Loud applause . ) After a number of obseivations oa the conduct of tbe Whigs , the speaker concluded by saying—Be alive to yonr own duty , and have nothing short of ihe whole Charter , Universal Suffrage , and no m » " » w *— ( Loud applause . )

      the Chairman then put the amendment , when a ftreat of hands was b « ld up for it ; and on the original notion being put to the meeting , only a few hands were hald up for it The result was received amid tumultaous cheering . Three cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the Charter ; and three groans for tho Whigs .

      STOWRBBIDGR— On Thursday evening la ? t , a jmWic lecture was delivered in the Sociallnstitutum , by Air . Dean Taylor , on tbe principles of the People ' s Charter , to an attentive afcdienoa . The lecturer showed the hypocrisy of the priesthood , in their opposition to the just demands of the people , m % manner which called forth frequent applause . He made Eome very excellent oibservations on equality , which made a deep impression upon hia audienoe . After $ he lecture , the following resolu-^ tion was carried , with one dissenting voice : —Re-• olved , " That this meeting aware , by sad experience , of the fatal effects of being led away from the question of Universal Suffrage by parties agitating lot Household Suffrage , abolition of the Corn L ^ wc , and other party questions , pledge themselves to go for nothing short of the People's Charter , so a 3 to secure to all a voice in making the laws by which they are governed . "

      TttRK KVQY . —X meeting was held in the Union Chapel , hew , on Tuesday , the 16 th instant , to form as association , something like the " Fox and Goose Club" in Leeds . —At the recent election it was agreed , in consequence of the defeat of Dr . Bowring , that a committee of conference should be appointed , of an equal number of electors , and non-electors , for the purpose of drawing up a set of resolutions to be laid before a public meeting . The present meeting was , therefore , the consequence of thie arrangement Mr . William Lockhart ( one of the Foxes ) was called to the cb . a \ r , and opened the business . John Arthur then to- © , and proposed the first resolution , as follows : — "That as it was evident , that , tolon % as the industrious and middle classes remained in their

      present disunited state , the efforts of both parties , for the accomplishment of any great end in the work of Reform , are comparatively fruitless , it was , therefore , in the opinion of this meeting , highly desirable that both classes should be united together , for the purpose of concentrating their strength , and making a combined movement tor the attainment of their just rights , and all tha beneficial effects , which must necessarily be the result of cheap and good government . " The speaker spoke in the true trimming Btyle , and said the name "Chartism" was become co unpopular (!) that it was absolutely necessary to change it . He concluded bv vilifying the Chartist leaders and their press . Mr . J . Kilgorn seconded the resolution , which was carried . The Rev . Mr .

      Bain moved the next resolution , which included Universal Suffrage ; but it was kept at the further end of the string . He exoressed himself quite content with Household Suitrage , though , he said , he would go farther than this ; for he would like a Scottish Registration BilJ , or anything , eren to tbe sixteenth part of a farthing ! Mr . James Gird wood seconded the resolution , in a similar strain . Up to this period the meeting was quite cold and inanimate ; but Mr . James M' £ wen , a Chartist , then rose , and proposed an amendment to the following effect : — " That having recognised the principle of Universal Suffrage , this meeting , therefore , agrees to throw all minor considerations to the winds , and to use their utmost exertions for the attainment of this most desirable object . " Mr . John Taylor secouded the amendment , and in the course of his remarks , combatted the usual fallacies of the opponents of Universal Suffrage , and showed that a union

      of the middle and working classes must be based oa right principles , not upon time-serviagexpediency . A discussion which lasted two hours followed , ia which the Household Suffragists showed that they retained all their hatred to Chartism and Chartists . The vote was tak « u for the amendment and resolution , when it appeared that the Chartists were in a minority , though a email one . The Chartists had not expected a majority , but determined to test the meeting ; and as soon as the vote was taken they left , » ud tbe Church was half emptied . Three other resolutions were moved , in accordance with theobjeotsof the Household Suffragists . When the last resolution waa carried , t * the effect that an association be formed , founded on the resolution * , and a committee appointed to frame regulations ; the meeting was very thin and tame ; and scarcely a Eoore remained to give a vote of thanks to the chairman .

      WARRINGTON . —The Chartists met as usual in their room on Sunday . After the routine business an animated disoussion on the benefit to be derived from Universal Suffrage was holden ; Messrs . Webster , Riohardson , Houghton , and others , taking part therein . Mr . Leech lectured , according to announcement in the Star , to a very crowded and attentive audience . There were some f ew of the middle class there , and what was most pleasing , Mr . Leech had the honour of having the deputy constable ' s attendance at the conclusion of tho lecture , which gave general satisfaction . The chairman invited discussion , but no one accepted it . The meeting broke up after giving several hearty cheers .

      OU 8 EBT 7 RN . —Mr . J . Mason delivered the first of a series of lectures in the School Room , Byker Buildings , on Sunday morning last , on the constitution of England , i ranee , and America . He appeared to give general satisfaction . A « the conclusion of the lecture , the following resolution was carried : — That this meeting is of opinion that the conduct of the Government to that noble champion of the people , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for libel , is illegal , brutal , and cruel in the extreme , and unprpcedented in the history of our country , and is calculated to bring the laws of the country int * contempt and disrepute ; and that this meeting pledges itself to use every legal and

      constitutional means in its power , to « ause an alteration to take place forthwith . " The secretary then informed the meeting that they had commenced a library to instruct the members , and called upon those present to enrol themselves as members , many of whom did so . The cause is going on gloriousiy here . After Dr . M'Douall's last lecture here , fourteen new members enrolled themselves , nine of whom were females . As it is the intention of the Association to become agents of the Northern Star , any one who is desirous of taking the paper , can be supplied at the School Room above named , on Sunday mornings , and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings . The profits upon the sale will be expended in books for the library .

      Chartist Movements in the West . —We are progressing gradually , but I trust surely , in the three towns , Plymouth . Devonport , and Stonehouse . The Fox and Goose Meeting has extended its infl * ience even to this Whig , Tory , and priest-ridden district . The Devmport Independent is ratting ; he is almost a ChartiBt . It is evident Whiggery is in the shade ; and I trust in God Chartism will soap be in the ascendant . Our souls ought to loathe and abhor the ' poor , little-minded , vindictive , imbecile , wretched , ' Jim Crowish , bloody-minded , hypocritical , humanity-mongering Whigs . I wish I could see more spirit in the West ; but our germination is evident . Cornwall , to which I am about to si&H , is beginning to be on th « alert . Laet

      Tuesday , 1 lectured at Plymouth on the various systems of Government . Our meeting was thinly attended , as two of the super blue-bottles stopped thecrier , and would not let him announce the meeting , till the Mayor had seen the placard . The Mayor was not at home . But the old man met one of the very magnificent , three-tailed , beak bashaws , who took the placard , and read it in this wise—O , Mr . Mead ! Who is Mr . Mead ! Of Birmingham , ha ! What ! he must be a Chartist . No , you shall not cry it , Sir . This worthy sent two bluo devil spies , in plain clothes , who entered the room without p-y ; but they did not disturb as . Last night , we had a famous meeting here at Devonport , in Mr . Trenoun ' s School-room , which would not contain

      the people , yet it it holds between three and four hundred , amongst whom were a good sprinkling of the respectables ! who , by being jammed in , were compelled to listen to some very disagreeable truths . We got a board painted , and sent one of nr poor Chartist friends round the town with it . No one tried to stop them , though mauy made passing observations— Behold ! the men who have turned the world upside down , are come hither also . " I explaiaed the principles of the People ' s Charter , combatted , as well as my homble efforts would enable me to do it , the class-arguments

      against it—describing the villany of exdusivesand the sufferings of white slaves . Before my lecture on the five points , we gave out and sang , " Loud roared the people ' s thuader f * and , after an address or lecture , which lasted two hoars , we carried , without a dissenting voice , the following motion - . — "That this meeting pledges themselves , individually and collectively , to agitate with al their might , and never cease theii exertions until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land .

      mOTKBAILr ^ Mr . Leech paid ns a visit on Thursday , the 18 th mat ., accompanied by Mr . Butterworth , of Manchester , one of the newly liberated Whi $ victims . On arriving at the Assb ciation-room , Mr . Butterworth was appointed chairman . He said there was something very wrong tomewhere or other , to cause the degradation and poverty now eo > prevalent among the industrious classes , and bomething must be done to alleviate the sufferings endured by what the high and middle class choose to term mere outcasts of society , and concluded by introducing Mr . Leech , who Raid he agreed with what had fallen from the chairman ' s lips , and contended that there -nan a screw loo . e somewhere , which caused so much tyranny to be

      exercised by such a lazy set of drones now in existence over the quiet , peaceable , and industrious classes of this community . He entered at great length into the acts of tyranny practised by the cotton lords and their tools , upon a half famished half starved , and half clothed people . He then too . a rapid view of the Corn Laws , and said he was a Repealer ; but , at the same time a repealer of all bad laws . Mr . Leech contended that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the working classes , and contrasted the manufactures at home with that abroad , and showed the increase of that at home since 1825 , rnd the deorease or wages since

      that period . He likewise showed the increase o > trade in foreign nations since the above period , where they were only manufacturing 1 » WO bale of cotton at that time , and now manufacturing 300 , 000 in the year laid / and asked , ws 9 it likely that such places , with their millions of inhabitants , were likely to give up their manafactorv to grow corn for a mere handful of people f Mr . Keeoh then entered into several arguments in favour of the People ' s Charter , wh ' oh gave the ntmoet satisfaction to the audience . After a vote ef thanks to the speakers , asd a , good round of a *> plaote , the meeting separated , highly delighted witn the evening ' s proceedings .

      NOTTINGHAM . —On Sunday evening last , an excellent lecture was delivered by Mr . Dorman , in Bethel Chapel , in which he shewed up the enormities of the aristocracy , the impositions of the middle clais , and the blindnets to their owa interest , of those of the working class , who did not join the Chartists to obtain 'heir long withheld , but just and legal rights . On Monday , the 22 nd inst ., there was a good muster of the Charter Association , it being the time for choosing a fresh council , which was appointed . The chapel in R < ce-pUce , Barker-gate , is open every Sunday , from ten to twelve o ' clock in the forenoon for reading and discussion , where there is also a useful library . Donations of books will be thankfully received at tho chapel .

      CHESTERFIELD & BRAMPTOK . —National Charter Association . —At the weekly meeting of the Council of the above Association , on Monday evening last , after the usual business was transacted , the secretary handed in 5 s . from three friends S , W , and Y , for which the society beg to return their thanks . The cards of membership are ready and can be had of tbe secretary at the place of meeting . The cause is progressing in this sinkhole of corruption ; our friends are in treaty for a room , which will be ready on Lady Day next , when we have no doubt , with the aid of a lecturer , much good will be done , their motto still being , the " Charter and no surrender . "

      LEICESTER . —A meeting took place in the Town Hall last Monday nigbt , which has once more proved the triumphant position of the Chartists in this borough . The meeting had been summoned to petition Parliament against the New Poor Law Bill , in pursuance of a requisition addressed to the Mayor ; and two of the tail usually employed to get up mock agitations for a repeal of the Corn Laws , and all that sort of thing , took a principal part in it , one of them being in the chair , and the other trying to make a speech . A petition was also read , but no one would second it , because of its absurdly outrageous language , the terms in which it was couched being such as would have prevented any Member of the House of Commons from dreaming about presenting it ! At length Mr . Burden proposed , and Mr . Swaine seconded , a petition declaring that until the People ' s Charter became law , no humiane provision for the poor could be expected ;

      and requesting the House , therefore , . to pass a Bill whereby the Charter should become the law of the land . The proposition waa received with acclamation . Grooeock , who was in the chair , then immediately vacated , declaring he would not sign the petition on behalf of the meeting ; and his confrater , ruby-faced George , immediately took his hat and made off , amidst tbe laughter of the meeting . Mr . Seal was then voted to the chair , and Mr . Swaine proposed , and Mr . Nicholson seconded , that a ? Messrs . Eastbope and Wynn Ellis , the Members for the borough , had thought proper to absent themselves from their places , during the first and second readings of the Poor Law Bill , they be deemed unworthy of the confidence of the operatives of Leicester , and Mr . Wakley be requested to present the petition to the House . This was also carried by acclamation , and the meeting broke up , after three cheers had been given for Mr . O'Connor , and three more for the Charter .

      Feahoos O'Connor . —At the room in All Saints Open , immediately after the meeting in the Town Hall , the following requisition to the chief magistrj , ue of the borough was unanimously agreed upon : — " To the Worshipful the Mayor of Leicester . —Sir , —We , the undersigned , most respectfully request you to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough , for the purpose of memorialising Parliament in favour of the liberation of Feargus O'Connor , E £ q ., no ?? a prisoner in the Ca . stie of York , and subjected to treatment of the most undeserved and inhuman character . We are . Sir , &c . &c "

Stewart , Esq ., at a late anti-parsonage meeting . " That day being the birth-day of Mr . Harney , a ball was given at the close of the lecture , as a token of the nigh estimation entertained by the Greenock Chartists of the invaluable services of that indefatigable patriot and never-tiring advocate of the eternal rights of man . By eight o ' clock the Hall was crowded , when Dr . Donelly wrt elected chairman , who opened tbe proceedings in a short but neat and effective address . Mr . Harney commenced his lecture with giving a narrative of his recent arrest , at the

      instance of the notorious Mackgill Chrichton , and excited roars of laughter by his rich mimicry and lashing of that half-daft , half-knavish champion of Presbyterian ascendancy . The lecturer next attacked the would-be M . P . for Greenock , P . M . Stewart , showing up the bigotry , intolerance , and usurpation of the Church of Scotland . Next Mr . H . reviewed the conduct of the Clergy generally , showing up their wicked support of despotism , the part they had played in promoting and encouraging the unjust wars in which the rulers of thiB country have been and are at the present time engaged . He contrasted Christianity , as taueht by us founder , and by its present ministers , as also the lives of the primitive Christians , with those of our modern

      Saints . In satirising the "Slugs , " he gave us a mock sermon upon " passive obedience , " which wa :, rich beyond compare , defying all power of description . Mr . Harney ' a address was r « ceW « d throughout with the most enthufeiastio and uproarious applause . —Mr . Thomson , Chartist preacher , proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . Harney for his talented exposure * of the hypocrisy of the priesthood . Given with three cheers ; and the customary cheers having been given for the Welsh martyrs , Feargus O'Connor , and the incarcerated patriots , Dr . M'DoualJ , and his intended new journal , ( to be called "The National , " ) the Charter , the Chairman , &c , this

Oa tfr £ occasion , the Bath Chartists presented to Mr , *\ 5 ncent an address of congratulation , on his restoration to the sweets of home , and to the blesdnjra of personal freedom . The addressers said they had learned with heartrelt pleasore , increased by the high opinion they entertained Of his many virtues , both public aad private , aa well as of his publio utility , that the harsh treatment to which he had been subjected foi these twenty months past , had not impaired his health , nor damped the generous ardour of his . miad- They said they should ever

      FROH THE LONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY . HOUSE OF LORDS . The Bill for facilitating the administration of justice at petty sessions was read a second time last night in the House of Lords . The Earl of Mount Edgecumbe put some questioBB on the subject of Mr . Snow Harris , and his plan for applying lightning conductors to the vessels of her Majesty ' s navy . The Earl of Minto stated that the Admiralty had written to Mr . Harri 3 , admitting his title to compensation for the time which he had devoted to the subject , and for calling the attention of the Admiralty to the practicability of applying a well-known principle to so important an end . The Admiralty , however , had added , that the sum demanded by Mr . Harris was unapproachable , and no answer had yet been received from that genUetnaa .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . Lord Sandon drew the attention of the Government * H" » ? oi *?* if * r * ¦ fVjp-nWtfc ;^ f , - the ^ Y 1 irmr Fenner , by whioh upwards 120 lives had b * ea lost , and aaked whether it was intended to bring forward any measure to prevent similar misfortunes hereafter . Mr . Laeoucherk said that the authorities most competent to judge had been consulted , and the result was a beikf that it would not be adviseable to apply the rule of the road to the sea , as respected the management of steamers . The debate on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill was then resumed by Mr . J . M . Gaskell , who said he thought the simple fact of Mr . Shell ' s rising to address the House from the Treasury bench , was a sufficient justification for Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham ^ abandoning the present administration .

      Mr . Y . Stuart contended that there was nothing in the present measure inconsistent with the Reform Bill . Col . CoNotLY would resist strongly a Bill like this , which went to perpetuate the empire of the Hon . and Learned Member for Dublin . Mr . Howard stated his belief that , in the first instance , Lord Stanley ' s Bill was popular throughout the country , but that its popularity vanished as the people became better acquainted with its provisions .

      Mr . Lascelles opposed the second reading of the Bill . Mr . Gisborne supported the second reading . Mr . Cuolmondelet opposed the Bill , and deprecated the idea that Hon . Members were to be acted upon by fear , or that they were likely to yield to tbe intimidation held out , that , in the event of a war , Ireland would be their weak point if this Bill were not passed . Mr . M . J . O'Connell supported , and Mr . E . Tknnent opposed the Bill . Mr . William Roche supported the second reading . Mr . Shaw said that the Irish Members were at presentrather t he representatives of numbers than of property , and the present Bill would carry that principle infinitely farther , for which reasons he would vote against its second reading .

      Mr . O'Connell said that the existence of 4 , 000 , 000 of paupers in Ireland was of itself a sufficient answer to all that had been ever said in praise of Irish landlords . As to the Bill before the House , and that of the Noble Lord ( Stanley ) the people perfectly well nnderstdod the objects of both j they understood that one was to extend and the other to curtail the franchise , and if the ; found the Parliament of England supporting the latter measure , was it likely they would not feel deep dissatisfaction and dif content ! The Hon . and Learned Gentleman alluded to the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders , and said it was never thought that

      they ought to be disfranchised until they began to act independently of their landlords . ( Hear . ) The Hon . and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to show that though the noble lord repudiated population as a basis of the franchise in Ireland , he had adopted it in the Reform Bill for England , by which an increased number of representatives was given to those counties possessing the largest amount of population . In Ireland the franchise was going out—it was dying away—the landlords were extinguishing it , and he thanked the noble lord for rousing the people of Ireland to their danger , and giving them a timely summons to the field . The Hon . Member concluded by calling upon the House to pass the

      BUI . Sir R . Peel , amidst the continued cheering of the House , condemned in the strongest language the intolerent spirit displayed throughout the speech of Mr . O'ConneJI . The Right Hon . Baronet then proceeded to analyse the bill , which he contended was an utter destruction of the existing franchise , and an erection of a perfectly new one upon its rams . The Bight , Honourable Baronet then proceeded to quote from the evidence of Mr , O'ConneJI before the Lords' Committee , with a view to shew that it was the evidence of the Catholics themselves which had sacrificed the 40 s . freeholders , Mr . O'ConneU himself having described them as the live stock of an eBlate . The Right Hon . Baronet , before sitting down , called upon the Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) to declare if this nrineiDle of franchise was to be applied to

      Eng-1 and , for nothing could be so injarions as to establish this precedent without making a publio declaration that it was not to be considered or acted upon as » precedent for England . ¦ . — Lord John Russell said that with respect to extending a similar franchise (^ foJ ^ Mlwd . he must say that the cases were WfUflRmtKIN and that of Ireland was so very P «|| W « # ato he could scarcely conceive & | iiii iiViVil ^ iffjj ! y | ljjT equally peculiar and equally strfrWil &Wmifl&s ! rS \ made out either for England or SttNufliBI ., £ « £ ~| iU 3 » & _\ At the close of the Noble Lord'tfpfelpEgQauM ^* n \ O \ divided , and the nnmbers were —[<^ 3 ijBa « 3 aS ii& - ^ IJ For the second reading « K 3 ^^ t ® % / ^ J Bill to be committed pro forma iimMjfiSjt' r ' ~~^"' ^ jj , ^ " "i-J . ^ Lki ^ A
