BXRKXK 6 HAXK . —Meetihg at the Christian CHAEIIST Chcech , Newh * ll-Street . —A meeting Ws held at this place on Thursday i April Btt , to hear lecture from Mr . O'Neil . At the dose of the lecture , Hz . John Collins delivered an account of bis mission to Batmry and Warwick , -which places be Bad visited ( or the purpose of opening churches on the same principles as thut at Birmingham . When Mr . Collins had concluded , Mr . George White itood up in the body of fehfl chapel and required permission of the Chairman to ask Mi . O'Neila question . Tkft Chairman wished to know wiuX toe question ms before be could give bis consent . Mr . White replied thatU ir&s one eoneeming ftimw ^ f . He understood that Mr ; O'Neil had charged the agent or correspondent of Mr . O'Connor with being buthe therefore demanded of Mr . O Neil -who he
• , means , u there -was no oEher paid agent of Mr . O'Connor in Birmingham bat himself . Mr . O'Keil arose in the pulpit and seated that he had never made any such charge in public , although he admitted that be did so privately , and at the time he did so he had bis eye on George White . Mr . White then proceeded to address the meeting . He said that he iad bees mixed ' up with the present movement from its commencement , and bad bees for ten years actively engaged in the straggle now being made by the -working clasaes , for lbs purpose of effecting their deliverance from the present murderous system , and he defied any man to pro Ye that he bad ever deviated a hair ' s breadth from the honest advocacy of sound Chartist principles . He was at a lo * s to explain Mr . OXefl ' s motives for making such a charge , as he had endeavoured , as far as lay
In his power , to do justice to all parties since his arrival in Birmingham . They had all remembered the meetings which had lately been held at Hoiioway Head , and such waa his desire to steer clear of party that be had been charged by members of the National Charter Association with giving his reports too much in favour of the Christian Chartist Church . But from the bad spirit that existei amongst them towards Xbe really honest portion of the Chartist body , he was determined for the future to shew them up in tbsir true colours , as there did not seem to be a chance of conciliating them and inducing them" to co-operate with their fellow countrymen , i Hisses . ) What did they hiss for ? Was that a sample of tbeir Christian charity ? He considered them to be a parcel of fauatics , and not Chartiste or Christians . He would appeal to themselves
¦ Whether he had not endeavoured to < uuse a union of ¦ U grades of Chartists , whether he had not waited upon them for the purpose of indncing them to form a part of the JTational Charter Association ? They had promised to do so -when the Association became ltgal , and now that it was so they -were as much opposed to it as before . What then were men to think of them ? He defied Mr . O'Neil to proTe his assertions . He had from the first been a zealous advocate of the people ' s rights , and should continue the same course in opposition to all humbug or deception . Mr . Hill then arose , and made several enquiries concerning their meetings not being reported in the Star . Mr . White answered that their meetings were not political , and were not calculated to forward the Cha'tist cause . He , therefore , considered the Cdartist body no more interested
in their preaching than that of any otlser religious body . If they formed a political association , and discussed th 8 principles of the Charter , then he should attend , but otherwise he should not . ( Renewed Lisses . ) If that * a s Christian Chartism ha should beg leave to withdraw and have nothing further to do with them . He then left the meeting . Mr . Wm . Martin arose , and requested the chairman to put it to the meeting whether they would hear him . ( Cries of " go on , go or . ") He aid be came not there for the purpose of creating dLscord , but to induce every man who heard him to join the Xitional Caarter Association , so as to compel their oppressors to res tore to the people thtir inalienable rights . His friend , White , had been attacked in a cowartfly manner , and charged with not reporting the proceedings of their Church . He thought them verv
imrtasonablej for if he gave reports of their proceedings , he might equally as well be expected to vi * it all the churches and chapels in the town . ( Hisssjp . i He did cot expect such treatment as that on Iris firH entrance amongst a body of men calling themselves Chartist ! and Ckristians . Their conduct « -as similar to that which he experienced in Northallerton House &f Correction , where poor Clayton was murdered , beciu . o the language of that place was continual hvssicij . He was extremely sorry to Ssd men locking for their eniandpatioa by means so likely to defeat the object they prof = sstd to have in view , and was surprised that a ' , man like Sir . Collins , who had been offered on the altar of persecution , should coincide in the legality doctrine . He could Compare thai doctrine to nothing else than a dmiii ^ n roan reprobating toe publican wLorn be sup- \ ported . For whilst they found fault with bad Govern- 1 ment , they would not proceed to counteract its evil effects without first making enquiry of the greatest sun ^
porttrs of that GeVcrniafcut -whether it is legal or n L He would aik them what it was - that compelled t £ e j Whigs to reduce the tax on ne ^ w ^ papers ? Was it the legality doctrine ? No , it was the determined - resis : aace of men who openly avowed their intention to break bad ia-sre , and try the power of right against might . They might preach and pray as they thought proper , but for his part , although he was one wfco had suffered eighteen months' imprisonment , still he was Bo-. i . in ^ daunted , but was determined to pursue the same course -without fear of consequences ; for if men were resolved te have their rights , the Whig Government might fill every comity gaol with Chartist victims , the expence Of wtdeh would compel tba middle class itheusands of whom w ^^ xe on the verge of bankruptcy . ) to cry out J ainstit . Why did they call themselves Christian Cliartisis ? If tiey really wanted the Charter , did they uppose that the eight millions of Imh Catholics Vonld unite with men who formed a sect
Opposed to their religious views ? Tb . a Irish Catholics would look upon them in the sauje light as they ' did the Bible xeaier 3 , -who received a pound per week for insulting the impoverished inhabitants of the vrrfctehtd huts , and w > rss than Indian wigwams , in which they were forced to take shelter . If , tiwrefore , they intended to have the assistance of the Irish on this great question , thtirs was not the proper coarse for ensnricg it : if , on the contrary , they merely sought their own benefit , to the exc l usion Of Inland , as an Irishman , he protested against it , for he knew that his eountry could only be made fret by uniting with the Briush people for the Charter ; and when he stood on tUe shores of his native land to he
Bound the trumt > et of freedom , ^ riicii torc ? l sown to bave the pleasure of doin ? , te wo-uld carefully avoid j anything calculated to create Trligions anirmsiry , and , ; instead of the Bible , he would hoiJ the Charter in : his hand , gni invite Ms countrymen to raliy round it ; He hop . d that the men who Leard him wsuld con- j aider thjt , in addition to the Irish Ci * -ho ? ics , there : were t&oosands of the same creed in England : thare > were also the Je-srs , UnitarLins , and other sects , who might take objection to their views of Christianity . He concluded by stating that , as the hour was ' . ate , he would not further trespass on th ^ ir time , bat should Content frimK ^ lf by challenging Mt-ssrs . Cjliins or O'Xeil to dijcas 3 the question with bun . After a few ¦ words from Mr . Collins , the meeting separated . i

trivmph of chartism . —If any proof v was required to show the ntfcer falsehood ef Sir Jobs Campbell's statement , that " Chartism is dead , " the event * of the past week bate supplied sufficient By the coquetting of the Edinburgh press f « r this week or two back , we expected something , but we did not expect that the Whigs would resort to the Tory system of 1831-32 by holding hole and comer meetings , yet this is true . On Thursday , placards , headed in the following tempting form , were exhibited : — " Cheap bread "—•• Sign the petition against the Com Lawa . " Thoa proving to a demonstration that the days of " humbug " are passed away , and that the working elassea new
kn » w where the "ahoe pinches , " and it is to be hoped that they will never rest satisfied until they get new shoe * , that will suit them better . If ever a triumph was obtained by the Chartists , this is one . Let us look back to the halcyon days ef Whiggery , when they culd beast at their meetings that the inhabitants ot Edinburgh were for Reform ; and , if the Reform Bill did not pass , " 3 O , oot sabres would be drawn—the scabbards thrown away—and they never would be laid aside until the people had their righta , " Now they dare not meet to discuss any question . " How have the mighty fallen ' . " " How have the great become low !"
UVNABKSHIRE . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Strathven , was held on the 8 th instant , in the Rev . Mr . Campbell s Church , for the purpose of considering the p '/ an of a Petition Convention , aa laid down by Mr . O'Connor ; several of the leading Whiga of that town attended , no doubt , in expectation of picking up something to the disadvantage of Chartism , but who bad the mortification to retire after , hearing their humbug principles and mischievous party receive a eevc-re castigasion from the fearless foe of Whiggery , Mr . Moir , of Glasgow . Ths National Petition was unanimously agreed to , and ireasures adopted to have it speedily and as numerously signed as possible . A soiree was held in the Universal Suffrage Hall , at nigbt , where a numerous party of male and female Chartists partook ot refreshments , and enjoyed the song and the sentiment to a late hour .
CHA 8 G 0 W . —A Chartist concert was held in the Christian Chartist Church , last- Monday evening ; never was the Church so completely crowded . Mr . John Fraser , of Edinburgh , and his two daughters , along with the Messrs . X *> cks , of Glasgow , gave great satisfaction , and the display of their vocal powers elicited the most lively bursts of approbation . A lecture was delivered the following night , in the same place , by Mr . A . Duncan , who denounced in strong and powerful language the present infamous system of misrule by ¦ which so many innocent victims were annually sacrificed at the mammon shrine of the higher and middle classes of society . He concluded by ridiculing the folly of the Chartists , as he expressed it , snivelling , blowing their noses , and begging and praying at the doors of the naiddle classes ; that class is all powerful to do evil , but appears unable to do any good , either tor themselves or any other body , or they never would suffer themselves to be plundered by the unequal and unfair system of taxation .
i A public MEETI . NG of the inhabitants of Glasgow-was ¦ held in the Chartist Church , on Thursday , the 8 th ' instant , on the subject of Christian Coartism . Mr . i Wright was called to the chair , when the meeting | -was eloquently adddressed , in rotation , by Messrs . ! Walker , CuUen , Duncan , M'Fariane , Ice . The Jost j ranied gentleman delivered a very impressive speech , i flowing with sentiments of liberty and benevolenee , ; and concluded in thesa words : "let the middle I classes come and join us , if they will ; we have i always made them welcome ; but let not the Chartists I ever dream ef giving up one iota of the glorious principles of the Charter , that moment they do , they ¦ r ill become as w « ak as Samson when he suffered his locks to be shorn by a har ' . ot "—The signing of the National Petition is going on -with great spirit .

alwayi came to him like Niobe , all tears , and agitated to the highest and most romantic degree , on , account of the disagreements existing in her family , from her partiality to him . He could not do other bat sympathise with her ; and the cold street is but a sorry place for sympmxbj , * o tftey withdrew for solace to a publichouse , and found it in « undry { lane * of brandy and water . BeragiuUon , however , would not be scared , it laatedrfor hours , and often the small hoars of early morn wen repeated by the adjaoent clock * before they wended their way W-Bottfln-street . John Smith was at length permitted to call at Bolton-Btreet , and the prisoner , John DatsieU * , TO introduced to him as her brother-in-law , Mr . Edmondron . At length John-proposed marriage , and Elizabeth , with a coyness that increased her charms , at first refused , then withdrew her
refusal , again refused , bat nltimately ahe waa indoeed to receive him , by hisentodatie * , aa heo aocepted anitor The loving bat careful John , ' fearful that be had Btit- ' onderatood the exact amount ef her wealth , copied into his pocket-book verbatim , from her own lips , the ri * h mine of gold ahe disclosed , and then , not liking to let the lady be all in the ascendant , be held eat bright prospects of what be was to be someHlay whea he exchanged the title of plain John Smith for the more euphonious ene of Sir John .. Time progressed , and the day of marriage drew near . Five different times did they attempt to be married , bat some unforaeen cause intervened to prevent it Four times the lady , perhaps from qualms of conscience , withdrew from the charch , and once , in this , instance , the careful Smitti proposed , when standing at tbe altar for the ceTemony to be
performed , that as Elizabeth had not got on the fitting garnents of a bride , the ceremony should be deferred . It seemed he was disappointed - she was so rudely clad . In one of their moonlight walks she had told him she was engaged to a Mr . Lee , and he had fallen on his knees beseeching her to discard her intended Lee and cling to him for life . She , while consenting , communicated thafrthe bridal garb had been prepared , and he at least expected she would have appeared in xh » same gear as was destined for her marriage with the slighted Lee . At last , on tbe 8 th December , they were married , John Smith having in vain attempted to borrow £ 5 from a friend , saying that if be did not get it he should lose £ 3 , « 0 » , for he waa going to be married to a rich widow . Lodgings were afterwards taken by him
in Oxford-street . Thither he removed his blushing bride , and in tbe joyougness of bis heart , told a friend he was a happy married man . It seemed , but the happy John was a stranger to it , that before the ceremony Elizabeth had taken lodgings for her husband , saying that he was a pensioner , whom she must provide for , and she waa afterwarda in the habit of paying his r « m every Saturday and carrying him his Sunday ' s dinner . On the morning of the iBarriare , the prisoner , Juhn Danielli , came to the house in Oxford street , and asked tbe prosecutor if they were really uurriad . He seemed very much agitated , and upon John Smith styiDg how do you d » , Mr . Edmondaon replied " My name is not Edmoadson . " He then immediately left the house , before the astonished Smith had time to ask
' Him who he was and whence he came , His local habitation and his name . " The happiness of a mingled being was to John Smith uninterrupted for nearly three msntbs ; but love is blind , and John must have been very blind or he would have had some suspicions , but he had not , until at length his brother . Frederick Smith , whose " nous was greater than his luckless brother , and who knew the real John Elraohdson , the brother-in-law of Elizabeth , had some doubts that all was not right . Pt * or John's vision of happiness was then dissipated by the dissovery that the assumed Edmondson was no other than the husband of his bride , and that the , £ 8 i per annum , the £ 300 in expectancy , and the wedding clothes , were all moonshine , a mere web of fiction , which a Very dt signing and cunning woman had vrore . Ttiti prisoners were then apprehended .
It appeared that John Danielis , although he had represented himself as Edmondson , had not incited to tbe marriage , but , on tbe contrary , had written a note to his wife while she stood at the altar , in-tbese-words" Be careful , Elizabeth , what you are about ; the man is mad ; " and had also represented to the clergyman that she was the wire ef a sea captain , and was not certain that he was dead . Mr . Murphy addressed the Jury foiHhe female prisoner , and urged that the case was a fit illustration of the biter being bit—the duper duped . John Smith was a mere fortune-hunter , going about to see what
widows he could devour . The £ 85 a year was the " El Boralo" of his ambition ]; and for that he slobbered his kisses and his solace on the object of his professions . wh » -waa , very much lite Mr . O'Connell , jn a constant state of " agitation . " It was clear that he intended only to get her money . He did not care who or what she was , and that she hod been coerced by her husband to practise the deceit she did , in order that he might live by her prostitution , and that her only desire , degraded as she was , -was to administer to his comforts and supply his wants in the pressing hour of distress and poverty .
Mr . Wilkius addressed the jury for the male prisoner , and submitted that tbia case was a picture of " C « 2 ! ehs in search of a wife . " His learned Friend , Mr . Murphy , might have carried the allusion further in respect of tbe agitation of Mr . OConntH , by saying that it was all for tbe " rint and nothing but the lint " He did not for a moment mean to uphold the disgraceful and disgusting conduct the male prisoner had pursued ; but he submitted that the evidence negatived the idea that he had been at all instrumental in counselling or promoting the second marriage . His Lordship having summed up , The Jury Acquitted John D ^ niells , and found Elizabeth Danielle Guilty .
Mr . Justice Maule , in passing sentence , said—Elizabeth Daniells , you have been convicted , on the very clearest evidence of bigamy , an offence which interferes with the security of the institution of marriags , which is the foundation of all civil society , and in this country subject * the party guilty of it to transportation , or imprisonment , according to the ! circumstances of the case . Yours is a peculiar case . It is stripped of some circumstances -which are an aggravation of the crime . You seem not to have done , any serious injury to your first husband , because although I think he may not have consented to your second marriage , yet he consented to what must be quite iis
painful to any husband who possessed proper fillings—I mean your intercourse with other person ? . I do not think , therefore , you inflected any s riou * injury on his feelings with respect to John Smith , a slrangfl sort oi person easily deceived by the aits you so successfully applied . 1 do not know that any great suffering had been inflicted on him either . Still a violation of the sacred ordinances of the church , and a trifling with the ilUi of matrimony , is not to be permitted ; but , at at the same time , taking all the circumstances into consideration , I am n « t dispostd to sentence you to anything more than the lightest punishment , and that is six calendar months imprisonment . The trial excited much interest , and happily savours much more of romance than reality .

The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty . J ilr . Akmstrosg and Dr . Biwvx prosecuted ; Mr . ! MvRrHY appeared for Elizabeth Danieils , and Sir . j Wilkiss defended John Daniells . j The circumstances uf this case were peculiar , and exj hil'iu-d a sad picture of depravity , crime , cunning , and i stupidity .
The evidence disclosed that the female prisoner was the daughter of art innkeeper , in Dale-street , anrt not a prrson of the most conect habits . That in September , 18 .-. 9 , she married the prisoner , John Daniells , who at the time bore a good character , and was a clerk in a merchants office in Liverpool . After the marriage they took lotlginsrs , and lived together for seme time , but gradually their means became less , and they were in extreme distre-ss . The prosecutor , John Smith , ia a civil engineer , snd was one day in August last enjoying a walk in Sl James ' s Walk , when he met the female prisoner walking with a respectable old lady . He was at once . struck with her charms , and -when they took their seats on & bench he went and sat beside them . Words—like angels' visits , and n » doubt he then thought that tbe visit of Elizabeth to the " Walk ' was one of them—were few and far between , bat they were camming Jed with many a furtive glance at the object of his admiration . They parted ; they met again in the
street , and J- » hn Smith passed and moved : the move was returned , and added fire to his touchwood heart Appointments to meet at tbe silent hour of eve followed in quick succession . The female prisoner was then living with her husband in Boiton-street . In one of their hours of rendezvous the made the confession that ahe -was « -widow—fair he knew she was j tbat her husband had been captain of the ship Oxford , and had been drowned at sea ; that she was possessed of £ 85 a-year , and -was then living with her brother-in-law , a Mr . Edmondson ,- a wholesale draper , in Bold-street Her worldly prospects Quite dizzied the eyes of Mr . Smith . He admired her before ; she was his idolatry now . The widow ' * w =:-alth , and the widow ' s self , determined him to make her at once his own . Meeting after meeting trok place—beautiful , because they were stolen , as he fancied ; she bavisg represented that Ebe gave them without the knowledge of her brother-in-law . She
