ANOTHER LESSON FOR THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH FOR COMMON SENSE AND EQUAL JUSTICE . The League here cemmenced tbeir Ministerial cam ' paign most inauspicioualy . They cboase their own battle ground , selecting such » pota for a simultaneous demonstration as appeared morally certain from a ¦ variety of general causes and local circumstances to afford a guarantee for an easy and decisive victory in tbeir favour . Edinburgh , as the metropolis of Whiggery , vr * s called on to afford them aid in this avful crisis . She indignantly refused . Sunderland was selected for a demonstration ¦ which if successful -was expected to give the tone of feeling to Newcastle , Gateshead , and the neighbouring countrj .
On two former occasions the League attempted to effect a breach to carry by storm the people ' s fort in Snnderiand , but they signally failed . So decisive ^ was their defeat that it was generally thought they would neTer rally again . They did , however , as last week ' s struggle proves . For a Ion * time we regret to say that the organisation amongst the friends of the Charter has been extremely defective , meetings have been held irregularly and not well attended when held—trade too has been awfully bad : availing themselves of this state of things the anti-Corn Law Association have been incessantly distributing pamphlets and tracts , about the advantages of a cheap loaf , and the great spur to . trade which Corn Law Repeal wouid give . It was attempted to ascertain the effect of this extensive machinery by
canvassing the sentiments of the workies—the men of course assented to the advantages of cheap bread an < t good wages—the prospect therefore appeared good . It i ¦ was therefore resolved te try once more the fortunes ' . of -war -with the Chartists , tie anti-gammon and hum- \ bug party . A requisition for a meeting , most numerous- \ ly signed , was got up , presented , and the meeting fixtd to take place on Wedneaiay evening wetk , in the Arcide j long room . No effort was neglected to insure a triumph ' for the Repealers , the whole of the men connected with the Bishopweannouth Iron Works , Burliiison ' s Foundry , and Lunbton ' s Coal Works and Staiths , were indi- } Tidmdly canvassed , and all compelled to promise to i attend and support the movement . A meeting was held the evening before at which returns were presented , and
it appeared from the paper documents that there tt ± s ' no doubt of success . The Chartists , however , though apparently quiet , "were by no means i «! le—they resolved ' to give the leaguers battle ; although they could not call to their aid the poirejfnl influences of the Leaguers , they had an unwavering faith in the integrity of the ; people , in the justice of their cause , in the power of truth , and the generalship of common seme logic 03 i " WcOnesday nothing was talked of but the meeting ; j grouos of Whigs , Tories , respectables , and workies might be seen all along the streets , canvassing the pros-1 pects of the evening ' s Btrncgle . When six o ' clock came , the whole of the men engaged in leading coals at LorJ Durham's staiths were ordered to leave off , many ships -were therefore actually detained a tide ¦ which were -waiting ] for their cargoes , and the mtn . mirched down to the meeting . The doors were opsned
at naif-past six , and almost immediately the immense room was fillrd ; we \» ent about a quarter to seven , and ' to our astonishment found the platform occupied with " . the Learners . Five minutes before seven , the tug of : " war commenced , by a Chartist rising from thebody of the metiiEg and proposing Mr . Williams to the chair ; this was seconded by another , when the respectable ? : immediately came forward acd proposed Dr . Brown ; issue was here jointd ; on its being put to the meeting the numbers appeared equal , and r-gain it was put . and finally decided to have been carried in favour of Dr . Brown ; this gave the Leaguers confidence ; they were ¦ uproarious in their cheers Poor fools , they had r . ot the discernment to see that the event vrss just " what the majority of the Chartists wanted . They did not ' "vote for Mr . Williams , knowing that he could be more serviceable to them in another capacity .
Dr . BaO"W > ' tht-n came forward , and , amidst considerable interruption , repeated the usual quality ani quantity of " League" matter , which the " lads " received amidst hisses , cheers , and loud laughter . BEKSAE . D Ogdex , Esq . next moved a resolution , embodying the opinions of the Repealers , deprecating the existing Corn Laws as bid in principle , injurious in operation , ic . A . J . Moore , Esq . seconded the motion , and tra-Telled again over the ground already traversed . by ~ Dz Brown . The Chairxax having enquired if any other gentleman wished to address the meeting on the motion ,
John Joseph Weight , Esq . presented himself , and " was received with a burst of applause , internrngled with hisses and groins . The " real tumult of the very crowded meeting now began ; for though it was evident 5 Jr . Wright had a great majority in his favour , a ¦ considerable cumber of persens were so . vehement and persevering in their efforts to drenrn his vuice , that only a few broken sentences reached the body of the room . Even Mr . Wiiiiims endeavoured to get ihe speaker a quiet hearing in vain ; and in order that his words might not be ¦ wholly lest , Mr . Wright several times turned right r ^ und with his back to tl . e Chairman , vis-a-vis and once or twice , "we thought , personally ; whilst he flung his body backwards and dapped his hands , as if under grtat excitement
but when he ever and anon turned round to tLe heaving and shoutiEg assemblage , a lurking smile furtively glanced across his features , bejoktaing tLat he had a perfrc ; relish for the scene before him . — The crash at the high end of the room , in front of the platform , was tremendou 3 during bis ^ iuress ; and all parties gave vent to terms of impatience before its conclusion—the natural consequence of total inability to hear . For ourselves , vre are cinsrraitecl to a-im : t—such "was our unenviable position in the melee—that even if Mr . W . had been perfectly audible , we could have given no connected report of lis speech ; oar reporting arm being eng ^ ed , during neary the whole time , in staving eff the " prtEsure from wUhin " against the window frame , if the strength of which had
once been overcome , some half dcz = n of us niu-t hare been precipitated into the street , "where hundreds , attracted by the n-rlse , seemed waiting to bivak our falL In all our c-sptritnee , we never endured a tighter junmin ; ; and it is rather strange that our two sever * st reminiscences in this way are both of them associated " with elections in the borough of Snnvltrlaad . Pinchi-d and crushed as we were , however , we could cot refrain from laughing at the scene presented on tbe platform , over tha excit * d gentlemen occupying vrh-ch vas the venerable figure of Fatherilavhew ( many of our readers ¦ will have teen it ) raising bia arm , and pleading the cause of temperance in vain . But to return to Mr . Wriitt , and -what he said , as well as did , on the occasion . We understood him to remark , that whatever
opinions they nrghi individually bold en the Corn Laws , as doubtkis , in that large assemblage , differences must prevail on so important a subject , he thought there ctuld ba but one feeling as to the time an < l the circumstances in ¦ which this question was now brought before the country . He denied that any man with a particle of common sense , unless he cid so wilfully , could resist the conviction of his own mind , that in promoting the present movement her Majesty ' s grasping Ministers had no other intention than to be able to retain their hold of cSee . ( Loud cheers and hissiDg , " That ' s the truth , " ' Down -with the Tories . " ) There fore , he said the question before that meetir g was not whether the present Corn Liws shouM be continued or abolished ; but the question was this ( It was
impossible to catch the words during the uproar , bu : the purport will be understood . ) The subject had been brought forward to gull the people- ( " Aye , but they wcn'L ") It was thought thit by it'this ¦ wretched Ministry might remain in -office , and longer plunder the revenues of the ceuntry [ Great cheering and uproar ; every body that could do * o having now mounted the forms that were to-• wards the head of the room ; an 1 thus blocking up the view of those behind , the latter pressed forward , and caused the extrtuie crush above referred to . In one of the " sways , " so well kr . own to those who have mingled in large masses at public meetings , two or three individuals fell under-fcet , and were got up ¦ with difficulty . And we feaT " mine host" of the
Temperance hotel would find sundry articles of household furniture not quite so shapely after , as before the meeting—if any faith is to be put in the probable effects of the crashes which occasionally , about this time , reached our ears . 3 The question was itaiJ Mr . Wright , when we next caught a sentence ) not "whether the Corn Laws should be repealed—though as to the several ^ objec ts of com , sugar , and timber , it was very desirable to have an amicable , honest , and permanent settlement—but whether the people wouid continue to be duped by the present ministers—by the most worthless and incompetent ministry that ever held the reins of government . , Great cheering , hissing , and nnmberltss sounds , far which we are aware of no vocabulary that "would furnish us with names . ) He a > k « d them , i : thst ministry had not truckled to every party , and basely deserted them all ? Not content with oppressing , they had insulted the poorer classes ; first
turning them out cf their homes , and then immuring thi . ru up in Union workhouses . ( Cheering and cries of- " Oh . "; In reply to some question from the platform , we understood Mr . Wright to say , that he did not come there as a friend of the present Cjm Law , but as one favourable te a moderate fixed euty . He concluded by moving an amendment , of which we gathered the following to be the substance . Believing that the Administration . have put forward the proposed alterations in- the duty on foreign corn , in connection with the sugar and timber duties , for the sole purpose of raUicg an excitement in the coH&try to enable them to remain in office , and to assist tfeezn in keeping their places ; and that they have proved tbamselves incapable of carrj ing on the business « f the cosatry , with advantage to tLe community at large : therefore , this meeting , though anxious to see these important questions speedily and tquitably settled , decline taking any step , by petitioning or -other-¦ wise , on tbe present Decision . "
Mr . FOTTS ( ye understood ; seconded the amendment , and did his best ta keep up the excitement -which Mr . Wright begun . He » aid , he came there to defeat huinfcug , for he felt eonviscHl that nothing else was at the bottom of tbi * meeting , as well as all throughout tbe proceedings of the present Government Mr . P . looked YasUy indignant "nhentv&r be met with any interruption . Daring hi * speech ( for , not being able to hear nraeb from tbe platform , our attention -was rather » wikeaed to the bye-play of observation giine oa

I around , ) a little Irishman—who at first wore he would give a shilling to get oat of the row ( to hot-pressing was it even to Paddy ) , and at last shouted mast bountifully in praise of Bums and Williams—made a re j mark which we think worth noting . Some one was crying ont against Mr . Potts as a Tory ; when the j Irishman quietly exclaimed—' By the powers , honey , 1 if you want to make a Radical of him , take all the I money out of his pockets ; and if yon have any notion j of moving us Tories , give us plenty of money . ' We ; pledge ourselves to the accuracy of this statement . Mr . Putts having concluded , Mr . Binns next came forward , and was welcomed I with a tumult of approbation , which continued for I Borne minutes . The well-known theatrical cries , I ' Dawn in the front , " " hats off , " now resounded ' . from the back settlements ; and Mr . Blnns having i waved his hand , with delicacy and grace , down ! sunk tbe mass , and remained as still as if it had ; never been in a ferment We were reminded of ; Scott ' s description of the silent dismissal of his moun' tain force that so suddenly and alarmingly bristled-up i in arms before the knight of Scowdon , and vanished : in a moment at a wave of their leader ' s baud , leaving i nothing but a bare hill-side to to the view . And so ' each Chartist might say of Binns , as was of old said of i Coriolanus , that he i " DIsmiss'd m «
Thus , with his speechless hand !" The meeting was now cool and comfortable , and Mr . Binns proceeded at length to address the company . The gist of his argument was , that every Chartist admitted the evil of the Coru Laws , and wanted them abolished ; but they -wanted , further , to have a security that when they were removed from the statute book , they should remain removed : and this was only to be effected by giving the people a voice in making the laws—in short by adopting Universal Suffrage , and allowing the Charter to supersede tbe Corn Laws , as part and parcel of the law of the land . He proposed , as a second
amendment , — " That this meeting is of opinion that the Corn Laws ought to be totally and immediately abolished ; but that it is nevertheless convinced there is no possibility of getting these Corn Laws repealed , except by the means which are laid down in the People's Charter : that we will pledge ourselves to unite with those good m . n and true , who have unfurled such a glorious battle-flag among our masses ; and that , on every occasion , we will enforce the sublimity of our principles , and struggle for them to the end . " The concluiion of the resolution was received with tremendous cheering .
Jlr . Williams seconded the motion , and was honoured with an equally warm reception . He began by trusting they would recognize no party there , bat discard from their minds every sectarian feeling aad prejudice , and consider the question solely with reference to its bearinga on the interests and prosperity of the whole people . The original resolution , he observed , affirmed that the existing Com Laws ought to be repealed . In that all men agreed . But if this was to be accomplished how could it best be done ? and if done , what regulation , any or none , ought to be substituted ? These were questions which ought then to be answered . There was no necessity for , no advantage to be derived , from delaying , till a future occasion , the consideration of the means . In proportion as a case
was made out against the Corn Liws , in that proportion did the anxiety increase respecting the best means of seenring their repeak This question must then be be entertained . Mr . Binns ' s amendment embraced both the evil and the remedy ; there might be a difference of opinion respecting the latter ; if so , that was the strongest reason why the subject should be discussed , to remove the difference . So long as a division so extensive as at present existed upon this subject , meetings and petitions for Corn Law Repeal could be productive of no effect . Only by unity of action could they succeed , and this unity of action must spring from unity of opinion and common principles . He asked what were the remedial means ? That was the prac tical , pressing question . Their original resolution was
silent upon this subject . Mr . Wright ' s amendment expressed opinions respecting the motives of the Ministry in their present reforming motives , in which he entirely and unreservedly concurred . ( Hear , hear . } He could cordially assent to every word of AJr . Wright ' s resolution ; because he felt certain the existing Administration had brought forward the measure , not to promote the welfare , or to redress the grievances of the people ^—not to secure the working classy cheap food and good wages , but simply to hold place and power a little longer . ( Great applause . ) These acclamations proved that such was almost the unauimous feeling of this meeting . He was convinced that not a former friend of the ministry on that platform would dissent from the terms of this resolution . ( Cheers , and
laughter . ) He only wished he had Lords Melbourne , Russell , and Normanby there that night , that they might see hew their early admirers no longer held connexion or boosted affinity with them . If this would not prove to them how , by their systematic abandonment of all principle ^—by their treacherous treatment of the people —by their I ' . eflance of every principle which they came in ' . o vS .: e pledged to support- ( loud cries of " Question , " " Order , " hissing , and cheering loud and loag , followed by the remarks , uttered in a tone of great satisfaction— " The pride of Sunderland "— " H-. vdaway , my canny lad ; " )—if , he said , this was not sufficient to convince them that their glory was gone , that their power vv . as departed , and that a plundered , an insulted , and an outraged people ha 1 for ever uttered the fiat of
their condemnation , and washed their hands of them entirely , he really did not know whit could bring them to ? Sense of their degraded condition . He would now undertake to show that Mr . Binns ' s amendment was the only one d-servin ^ their support . It was the only terms of union ¦ which the mas ^« s would recognise , the only condition on which they would ten-. ier thtir support , and without their unanimous and enthusiastic support Corn Law repeal could never be carried . When they ithe Corn Liw repa . ilers ) came forward with what they called the question of questions , and submitted that to the people , what did they mean ? did they not by such an act recognise the ability of the people to understand it ? If the people were not able to understind it , why rii'i they waste their
( . ¦ wn time , talents , and money , in a ldressing them , or in circulating their publications aiiiois ; -- * . ihtni ? Were they performing a farce before the pc ;> ple , or engaged in an honest , rational agitation ? If tbe vtople had the ability to understand the question of questions , surely they would be quite capable of understanding and settling the minor questions . He asked them to come forward and tell that meeting which they hal called together , what rtason they had for refusing them their franchise who had the ability to understand the Corn Laws , and were willing , on fair terms , to aid them . They could not—they dare not tell the assembled thousands that they were incapable for , or unworthy of , political freedom . What < iid they mean , tb ' . n , in calling tiiciii together ? Did they merely want their aid to sustain a physical contest with the aristocracy— "to spe ^ k to the fears" of the latter , as OConnell had unblushingly avowed . Tha * might be the object of some , perhaps of many , he hoped not of all of them . But he
coulu assure them that the next time ; be people did that , they would also do some business for themselves —they would assert and secure their own rights . The speaker then went on to esquire why he missed the wards "total and unconditional repeal" from the resolution ? This most assuredly might , he &aiii , be accidenta ! , but it looked suspicious . Let the meeting beware , hs said , that this was not a cunning trick to make it an instrument for propping up the doomed Whi ; s . The Corn Law Repealers had said repeatedly that nothiug short of total repeal would satisfy , or ought to be accepted ; "why did they not stick to that now ? Was it btcause the ministry proposed a fixed duty ? Who were the ministry , he asked ? What confidence could be placed in any measure emanating from them in their present desperate dilemma ? None whatever . Lords Melbourne and Russell , he said , had declared it would be madness to repeal the Corn Laws : and then read the well-known ex ' . racts from Lard .
Meleourne ' s speeches , in which he describes the struggletne agitation of society to its foundation , and so forth , that the country would have to undergo , before these laws conld be repealed . He faid be could quote similar passages from speeches by Lord John RusselL The ingenious applicauon made by Mr . Williams of Lord Melbourne ' s remarks was—that if Lord Melbourne tbeufiht the struggle he had himself sanctioned to be now commenced , would have thtse consequences before the question could be settled , why were he ( Mr . Williaros . and Mr . Binns , and v . iany others , imprisoned for the little agitation thc-y imlulgtd in a year or two ago ? Either Lords Melbourne and Russell must be mad for proposing it , or they have wrongfully punished men for attempting to gain their ends by the same
means - they were now tUemseives about to carry into operation . And if , he asked , as Mr . Binns had asked—if all these exertions were to be made—these divisions to be encountered—and these agitations of the bases of society to be undergone , and the people to be ca ; ltd on , as they had been , and wou ' . d be , to aid in the work ; why should the people not , at the same time , and without a second struggle , demand their own rights—m » . rc particularly when TJnivi-rsal Suffrage ¦ would make it certain the Corn Laws could cever ba reenacted , nor the people be again subjected to tha mercy of a bloody aristocracy . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Russell and Melbourne wtre no youngsters ; they were men of mature age . If , then , they were of sane minds two years ago , it was clear , from their own showing , that they must ben-od now . Had the n . itional affairs , then , been in the hands of madmen , who only now had received their senses—or were we now , he asked , about to resign ourselves to the leadership of madmen
or knaves ? One or the other they must be—if either , they were unworthy of countenance or support If the former , the lunatic asylum was their fitting place ; if the latter , they ought to be committed as rogues and vagabonds . ( Lond laughter , and cheers . ) If , Baid the speaker , to carry Corn Law repeal requires that society should be agitated to its foundations , that class should be arrayed against das * , and man against man ; if there is to be so much ill blood , that tbe peace of the country will be perilled , I ask the gentlemen on the platform , the men of property , the lovers of peace and order—the society of Friends , many of whom he saw on the platform , whether they as members of the Universal Peace Society , were prepared to join in a struggle , the appalling consequences of which Lord Melbourne had so btrongly depicted ? iHear , hear , and no , no . ) No . no ! said Mr . Williams ; if it will not require this , then Lord Melbourne would deceive usand yon can do the business quietly without the people

It would require it , and therefore I uk , whether in that solemn crisis you would stand or fall by the people ? Will you ( the middle classes ) abandon them as you have done before , or with the people brave the fury of tbe storm ? But , he observed , if these classes identify their cause with ours , the struggle will be short and peaceable , and victory secure . I am here ( said he ) to offer you tbe terms of union , he would that night sign their petition , aud bring them 8060 supporters , if they would then sign the document he held in his hand , which was a petition for equal rights , and the liberation of imprisoned victims . He was proceeding to make some remarks , in anticipation of the Chairman refusing to put the Chartist amendment , but Dr . Brown at once said he would do so ; and Mr . Williams then concluded a lengthened , and in many parts very adroitly managed address , amidst great cheering .
After a few words from Mr . Thompson , solicitor , in favour of tbe Charter , and in condemnation of the interruption which the earlier speakers had received , The Chairman took a show of hands on Messrs . Binns and Williams' amendment , which was carried by a very large majority . Thanks were voted to the chairman ; three cheers given , on the motion of Mr . Binns , " for our leaders in gaol and out of gaol ; " and sundry groans for we did not watch what or whom—and the meeting then separated .

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tuesday , May 18 . The royal assent was given by commission to a great number of public and private bills . Lord Hastings ( late Sir Jacob Astley ) took the oaths and his seat for the first time . Some petitions were presented for and against any alteration in the Corn Laws . Their Lordships theu a-fjourned until Monday next .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , Mat 18 . The a fjourned debate was resumed by Mr . Sheil , who contended that it was futile to struggle agaiubt the slave trade by means of differential duties , which raised the price of a necessary of life to . the labouring classes without benefiting any class of the community except the monopolists . Mr . IIeriues said thai the finances of the country had certainly been reduced to a most alarming condition . This ho attributed to the Government , who should have kept up a turplus revenue , and who were the first Ministry in this country which had ever failed to keep up a surplus in time of peace . Mr . Villiers expressed much disappointment that the Right Hon . Gentleman had not pointed out what he thought should be the remedy for the serious evil he complained of .
Sir E . K . natcubull regretted the length to which the debate had extended , because , during the eight days that it lasted , all the great interests likely be affected by the Government propositions were placed in a state of incertitude , and were of necessity at a stand still as regarded commercial operations . Mr . C . Bullkr designated the resolution of Lord Sandon as a rare specimen of the most refined fanaticism , aud strenuously advocated the doctrines of free trade .
Sir It . Peel said that every argument was so exhausted by previous speakers , that he should not have risen were he not convinced that he had no alternative bu ; to deliver his opinions before the debate was brought to a close . He must say , then , that it would neither be for the honour nor the ininterest of the country to open the markets of the country to slave-grown sugar , and being of this opinion he would give his vote for the motion of his Right Hon . Friend ( Lard Sandon ) totally apart from his opinions upon the Corn Laws or any other question . Lord Palmers-ton contended that throughout the debate the weight of argument was most triumphantly on the side of Ministers . So far was his Right Hon . Friend , the Chancellor of the Exchequer from asking the Right Hon . Baronet for a budget , that he came prepared with one to supply the financial deficiency , not by means of fresh taxation , but by rehevirg the people from a portion of their present burdens .
Lord J . Russell replied , after which the House divided , when the numbers were—For the original motion 281 For Lord Sandon ' s resolution 317 Majority against Ministers 35 The announcement of the numbers was received by loud cheering .

Mr . Pitkethly said , that the 25 th was fixed for moving in the House of Commons a memorial to her Majesty in favour of the prisoners . ( Hear , hear . )—Mr . Doncombe recommended them to get the case of every individual prisoner , so that he could do him justice by stating his particular sufferings . He also advised as many petitions with as many signatures as possible . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . P . ) was sorry to learn that several petitions larger than the law permitted were sent to Mr . Buncombe , who had that day paid several pounds for them . That money must be refunded . ( Hear , hear . ) It should be advertised in the Star , that the greatest weight allowed for a petition was 16 oz . He understood that in some instances 30 oz . were permitted .
Mr . Smart said the post-master of Leicester informed him that sixteen ounces was the legal weight . Mr . Pitkethly asked , would it be possible for the Convention to return to the country for the purpose of stirring up the people in favour of tho cause , and request the London people to attend to the business during their absence . The notice given by Mr . Duncombe could be put off . Mr . Smart—Bear in mind the probability of a sudden dissolution of Parliament . Mr . Pitkethly—They must go on chance , and proceed in their business as if there was no rumour of a dissolution . ( Hear . ) Mr . Williams said that he received a letter from Merthyr , informing him that a petition would be forwarded from thence containing 14 , 001 signatures .
Mr . Pitkethly received from the people of Manchester a heading for their petition ; they wished their petition to be presented separately . He deemed it advisable for tho delegates to return back for the purpose of getting as many signatures to the petition as possible . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho was of opinion that they would not be allowed an interview with the Queen . In the event of that being the case , they should look for a peer to present the memorial to her Majesty . Then the question arose , would their constituents be satisfied with that ?
( Hear , hear . ) Lord Teynham would present it . He ( Mr . Pitkethly ) was told that a member of Parliament had the right ; and that Dr . Wade , as a clergyman , had also tho right of an interview with her Majesty . There was no possibility of their getting an opportunity of presenting the memorial at a levee . Mr . Morgan said that Mr . Berkeley told him that he ( Mr . B . ) although a member , cuuld not present a petition to the Queen . Mr . Pitkethly—A gentleman was insisting on an interview with the King , when he was told that it could hot be allowed : that gentleman then referred
to Sir F . Burdett having had an interview with his Majesty . He was informed that Sir F . Burdett had that right as a Member of Parliament . ( Hear hear . ) Mr . Morgan—And there has been since that a new arrangement . Mr . Pitkethly—Then they should get a Member of Parliament to write to the Marquis of Normanby to ascertain whether they could have access to the Queen . It was said that Dr . Wade ' s presenting the petition had a good effect . Such was not the fact . The Queen nover took the petition in her hand , but when the Doctor presented it . a big hand popped out of a hole , and snatched it . ( Laughter . )
Mr . Smart—Why , the report in the newspapers stated that her Majesty received the petition in her hand , expressed much curiosity about it , and then read it . Mr . Pitkothly moved that a deputation be appointed to wait upon Lord Toynham on tomorrow , ( Thursday ) morning , at half-past ten , to beg of his Lordship eithor to go to Lord Normanby , or to write to him , requesting to know whether they could get access to the Queen , and whether Lord Normanby would recolvo a deputation . Mr . Smart seconded the motion . Mr . Morgan said that Mr . Berkly would accompany the deputation , and present their petition .
Mr . Wall—An interview with the Marquis of Normauby was very feasible , if they only attended to the proper etiquette ; they should write a letter to the Marquis , sta'ing their intention to wait upon him , and the hour they would do so . That was the way by which he ( Mr . Wall ) obtained interviews with Ministers . Mr . Martin—They should write to their friends in prison , to ascertain if the horrid rigour 3 , to which they had been subjected , were mitigated . ( Hear . ) He had read a letter from a prisoner whose treatment was unparalleled for cruelty . ( Hear , hear . ) The motion was carried , and a deputation consisting of Messrs . Cullum , Pitkethly , Williams , Smart , and M'Douall was appointed . Mr . Wall moved , and Mr . Smart seconded , that a latter be written to Lord Teynham , informing his Lordship that the deputation would wait upon him at tho appointed hour .
Mr . Skevington said that he had received a letter from Derby , which informed him that a petition would be forwarded on Saturday . The letter directed him to wait upon Messrs . Ponsonby and Strutt , the representatives of Derby , and demand their support , reminding them that if they supported tho people , the latter would in turn support them . ( Hear , hear ) He waited upon Mr . Strutt , delivered to him his messago , described the sufferings of the working classes , aud told him that the people were resolved that if there was no happiness for them that nobody else should be happy . ( Hear , hear ) He ( Mr . S ) asked him would he accompany the deputation to the Marquis of Normanby . He replied he would not , but that he had no objection to support the petition if it was properly worded .. ( A Jaugh . ) Mr . Ponsonby was from hjrac .
Mr . Wall left fifteen letters for Members of Parliament . Ho nppointerl to see Mr . Harris at half-past ten to-morrow ( Thursday morning . ) Mr . Barmby waited upon Mr . Raikes Currie , who received him kindly , and promised to support the petition . He thought that the present Governm ? . ni should not stop in office . ( Hear , hear . ) He tbxn blamed tho Chartists for the part they had took in the Nottingham election , and said that if another party favourable to the Charti 3 t cause came into power that tho Chartists should join them .
Mr . Ituffy Itidly said that he attended on the previous evening a meeting at the Tower Hamlets . Ho was there introduced to a person wlio held an office on board the Mandarin , which carried out Frost , Williams , and Jones . He was not at liberty to state either the officer or tho name of that person . But ho would state to tho Convention all that that person told him . Ho said that tho Mandarin was a merchant ship , employed by Governmpnt to takeout transports . The Captain and tho Doctor of the ship sympathised with Fxost , Williams , and Johl'p , whom thfy treated with the greatest kindness . They k ' . pt them apart from the other prisoners , and allowed them to walk the decks . Frost and Williams appreciated that indulgence , and always expressed their gratitude for the attention paid thorn . Jones was quite the contrary . He considered himself in a degraded position , was sullen , and could not be induced to feel comfortable . Frost said that ho considered himself a sold and
victimised man . Ho was much grieved for his family , but expressed a strong hope that the country would look to tiiem . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Frost wrote fifty letters to his friends , which ho intended to confide to that man ; but a superior officer gained his ( Mr . Frost ' s ) confidence , who always supposed that treachery did not exist in man's bosom . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Frost confided these letters to him , which he never delivered . It was no difficult matter to guess where they went . ( Hear , hear . ) He sent a verbal messago to Mr . Lovett , which was to be personally delivered to Mr . Lovett . " I then asked my informant , " eaid Mr . Ridley , " if Mr . Frost spoke of Mr . , Feargus O'Connor . My informant replied thai ho did , ' and that Mr . Frost said that he looked upon Feargu ? O'Connor as in the employ of the Government . " ( Great excitement , during which almost all tho members roso simultaneously as if to speak . ) Mr . Ridley was proceeding , when
Mr . Wall submitted that they coald not entertain such a subject . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Martin said they were not aware but that Mr . Ridley ' s informant was employed by the Government to bring Mr . O'Connor into contempt . Dr . M'Douall—There is no question of it . Ho himself admitted that he was in the employ of government . ( Hear , hear . ) Chairman—Did Mr . Ridley gave the name of the individual ? Mr . Williams objected t » tolo to the subject being persevered in . It was a mere ex parte statement . Mr . Wall— : Tho way to get rid of a public man was to say that such and such was the case . There was no necessity for facts to bear out statements . Thus it proved a very easy matter to destroy a public man's character . ( Hear , hear . )—People should be cautious of asserting anything said in private conversation .
Mr . Ridly—If you consider the statements false , appoint any gentleman , and I will bring Ir . m to the man . Mr . Pitkethly—It is a most dangerous conver sation . ( Hear , hear . ) Chairman—You allowed him to commence a report without asking him the nature of it . I now question whether I can put him down . Will any gentleman move that he should not go on , or am I to allow him to prooeed I Mr . Ridly—If I am allowed to go on , something will come out to prove false the charge against Feargus O'Connor . Mr . Martin—It is an attack against Feargus 0 Connor , who is the soul and life of this Convention . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . Morgan—He had no right to make such a report . If it reaches Feargus O'Connor such words will break his heart , especially after all that he has done for Mr . Frost . Mr . Wall moved and Mr . Williams seconded , that they could not entertain the subject , as it yva-s not connected with the business of the Convention , and that it be referred to a committee . Mr . Barmby—A part has been made public .

Mr . Ridly—The remainder bears honour to Feargus O'Connor . Mr . Pitkethly—Mr . Ridly should have consulted some one before he made the communication . Mr . Ridly—Mr . O'Connor stands clear . If I was allowed to speak truth that it could be proved . Mr . Martin—I heard that Feargus 0 Connor was paid by the Carlton Club . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Wall withdrew his motion , and Dr . M'Douall moved that , the matter be referred to a committee , and that the committee be required to report on the same . Mr . Martin seoonded the motion . The motion was carried . Mr . Ridly—I consider that you are doing Mr . O'Connor more harm . Mr . Martin—We cannot do him harm . The conversation then dropped .
The following letter was read from Mr . B . Baring , for whom tho . execution of young Cook has gained immortal and unenviable notoriety ;—" Sir , —I have received your letter asking me whether I am prepared to lend my support in Parliament to the purpose of obtaining the liberation of all political prisoners . If any peculiar case of hardship can be shewn in the circumstances under which anv individual has been tried , condemned or detained , I think it but jnst that such judicial acts should Ixi revised , but if you asked me whether as a class ,
political delinquents should be exempted from the general operations of the laws of the country , I must conscientiously and unhesitatingly say no . The public peace must be protected , because on the public peace depends the employment of industry and tbe enjoyment of liberty—the disturbers of the public peace—the man who seeks to amend the law by breaking the law puts off and discourages useful improvement— casts a slur and distrust upon the peaceable reformer and does bis utmost practically to maintain those very abuses which he may in his heart wish to abate .
" I have stated the grounds of my decision not with a view of arguing with you or convincing you , but merely with the object of shewing that probably entertaining the sauio desire of advancing the welfare of all classes of society , particularly of the most helpless , I , notwithstanding , differ with yon on the means of attaining them . " B . Baking . " A general laugh followed the roading of tho above , while several of tho assembly cried out" that was Baring who hanged young Cook for having struck his hat with a brick . " Tho latter ebullition was promptly and very properly put down . A very long discussion ensued upon Mr . Rose ' s motion , which was seconded by Mr . Martin , for members attending anti-Corn Law and Ministerial meetings , for the purpose of defeating their objects , and substituting for them the great cause of the people .
Mr . Pitkethly , Dr . M'Douall , and Mr . Ridley deemed it injudicious for memuers of the Convention to mix themselves up with the opposition given to those meetings . As individuals , they might , if they pleased , atteud , and , if possible , defeat them , but they should first well consider whether they had strong hopes Of success . Mr . Wall was satisfied that tho workingciasses would be defeated at meetings held in the day ; but they would undoubtedly succeed at meetings held at night , as he himself proved at the Crown and Anchor . ( Hear , hear . ) The men of Southwark and Stepney Green would at all times be able to carry their obj ^ cts . Tne previous question was moved ou Sir . Roses and Mr . Morgan ' s motions , both of which were similar in their objects , and was carried .
Mr . Barmby moved that those members of the Convention acquainted with the representatives of their districts be required to wait upon them , and canvass them in favour of the political prisoners . The motion further insisted that the delegates should exert all their influence over their different representatives in obtaining their votes in favour of the petition . Mr . Wall seconded the motion , and said that at the meeting held the previous evening in St . Pancras parish , five delegates were appointed to wait upon Lord Teignmouth , and Sir Benjamin Hall , and infiueuce their votes in favour of the petition . The motion was carried , and the Convention rose at seven o ' clock .
THURSDAY , May 13 . The members met tLis morning for the reception of petitions , letters , &o . The following letters were read . From Hey wood , signed John Hey wood , s'ates that a petition was forwarded containing 2 , 828 signatures , and that a great portion of the people wero so disgusted witk the treatment they experienced , that they would not petition the Parliament of scoundrels ; from Sutton , and Ash field , announcing that the petition from that placo contained tho signatures of 1 , 6 " 10 males , and 1 , 360 females—from Lewes , anuouncing that the petition from that town contained 180 names—from Cardiff , announcing that two petitions were forwarded , one for the pardon of Frost , William , and
Jones ; and the other for the release of all political prisoners . The first contained 728 { names , aud the ether the names of 1 , 078 males , and 498 females . The letter accompanying these petitions was signed E . Waddington . From Dumferline , signed Connor , states that the petition from that place had 4 543 signatures—f ' noiu Binbury , signed Collet , announcing that a petition was forwarded for Frost , Williams and Jones—from Colne , signed Josiah Watson , stating that the petition from that town was in favour of the Charter , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and tho release of all political prisoners ; from Plymouth , signed Richard Sleight , stating that the petition contained 854 male and 400 female signatures . Tho writer of ths letter complained of tho apathy of the men of Devon and Cornwall who were slaves to the aristocracy and monoyocracy . In
Cornwall , there were 30 , 000 miners . From Gloucester , signed John Nediney , stating that the memorial in favour of Frost , Williams and Jones , and all political prisoners , contained 1 , 427 signatures ; from Middieton , signed John Barrowfield , statingthat he forwarded thirteen sheets of a petition containing 1 , 495 in favour of Frost , Williams , and Jones and all political prisoners ; from Burnley , signed Christopher Webster , announcing that the petition contained 3 , 009 signatures ; from Tiverton , signed F .

Barnett , stating that the petition had ' 20 , 000 signatures , that the people of Bradford would pay the expenses of sending up the petition , and that the Corn Law Repealers had been told by the post-master of the town , that they could send frea all petition weighing less than 32 ounces .
Mr . Williams handed in a petition from Merthyr , containing 11 , 715 signatures . Tho neatness and masterly manner in which this petition was got up , elicited general admiration . Mr . Morgan read the following letter from Mr . William Williams , M . P . for Coventry : — " Gentlemen , —In reply to yeur letter , I beg to state that I shall feel much pleasure in giving every aid in my power to obtain the liberation of the political prisoners incarcerated in the gaols of this country . " W . Williams . " To Messrs . Morgan and Morgan Williams . " Mr . Skevingttn read a letter from Mr . Ponsonby , expressing hia willingness to give Mr . Skovingtou an audience . A petition was received from Brighton .
Mr . Morgan stated that in consequence of the neglect of the people of Leed 3 to the proper weight of their petition , the one they forwarded Mr . Duncombs cost £ 1 Is . 8 J ., which the Hon . Member paid . He trusted that the people would in future be careful , and limit the weight of the petitions to sixteen ounces , which was tho weight allowed to go free by the Act of Parliament for the conveyance of petitions . jjj- r . ¦ r r _ y _ l ^_^^^^» LJLJ _ f |_ r i ¦ JLnjj-Lm

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , May 13 . The general impression now is , that the Ministry will not resign , but that they will appeal to the country through the medium of a dissolution of Parliament . At this moment , moetings are holding in Stepney , Southwark , and other places , for the purpose of creating public excitement in favour of the Corn Laws , the voluntary principle , and agaiust church extension ; so that they may be tests of tho liberal principles of candidates at the meetings on the next general election , and thus the friends of the Whigs hope that they will be enabled to defeat the Chartists . There is not a parish vestry composed of
Whig retainer ? , that is not holding parochial meetings with the same view . Daniel O'Connell has issued his ukase to the Irish people , commanding simultaneous meetings to assist the " base , the brutal , and the bloody Whigs . " As a sop to Cerberus the Government , it is said , is lending their aid to the great repeal meeting , convened for to-morrovv evening , at the Crown and Anchor , b y the Dictator . Sixteen members of Parliament have promised to attend . In order to keep out tho Chartists , the charges for admission will be half a crown for the platform , a shilling for the gallery , and sixpence for the central seats . The Chartists , will , however , patronise Mr . O'Connell .
Public Meeting . —Last night , a public meeting was h « ld at the Chapel , Chapel Place , Broadway , Westminster , for the purpose of calling upon the Legislature to enact the People ' s Charter , and to release all persons confined for political offences , Mr .

Frost , and the assembly evinced the deepest sympathy for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all tho other prisoners . A deputation was appointed by the meeting to wait upou Sir De Lacy Evans and 1 Mr . Leader , requiring their support to the memorial . The good cause is progressing rapidly and successfully . The Convention are at this moment about resuming their sittings .

Leeds Cloth Markets . —The business at the Cloth Halls , on the two last market days , has been of an extremely limited character .
