POST-OFFICE ORDERS . —All person * sending money to this Office fcy Post-office Order , are especially requested to make Uietr orders payable to Mr . John Ardill , as , by a recent alteration in Uie Post-offire arrangements , any neglect of this would cause as a great amount of trouble and
aanoya&ce . X leg to assure Mr . O'Connor ' s friends that he receives more Utters than he can possibly anstrer . We trust this announcement trill be suffi cient for those whose letters remain unanswered . lit . Christopher Dotlb , of Manchester , has forvarded us a communication respecting a piece of petty tyranny towards him and others employed at a mill in Pollard-street , Holt Town , The circumstances are briefly these . —On Easter Tuesday ? the female weavers in the mill just named performed a kind of play , called "lifting , " ' vhich , though a rather ridiculous custom , has
been a common practice for the last nine years . The young master and the overlookers' manager looked on , and $ y their non-interference countenanced the play , and about 140 o f the hands slopped work in the afternoon , in consequence of the confusion and disorder produced by the morning ' s sport . On the Saturday following , the young master fined every two loom weaver Is . 6 d , and every four loom weaver 3 s ., for being off from their w » rk . Our correspondent complained of this unlooked-for and unjust exaction , and told his employer he teas stopping double the sum he could earn on that afternoon , and that he did sot earn more than 9 s . a week on the average .
Mr . Doyle thus continues his narrative : — He answered me very sharply , that he would not return me the fine imposed upon me . I said to him , ' / consider it a piece o f bare f aced , unblushing robbery , to take Is . 6 d . off my small wages ' ( uhkh , by ihe bye , were but 3 s . 6 d . for that veeij ; and I told him if he would not pay me without further trouble . I would certainly apply to a quarter where I thought he would be compelled to pay me . I then left him , and on Monday morning I applied again , and asked the ymmg gentleman if he would grant me leave of absence for about three hours . ' What for ? ' ' / vsnttogo to Brotrn-street . ' ' What to do there ?' ' T » lake out a summons . ' 'For whom V '' For

GREAT MEETING AT THE T 0 WN-HALL , BIRMINGHAM . DEFEAT OF THB WHIGi AND GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OP THE CHARTtSTS . The town of Birmingham has been in a state ot feTerish excitement for the last week . Small knots of Whigs and Corn Law repealers , were to be seen running through the streets in all directions , beating up for recruits . The workshops and factories were canvassed , and intimidation , cajolery , and all the arts of cunning were had recourse to in order t » prop np the falling Whigs , and induce the working men to
sign the petitions got up at the hole-and-corner meetings . They at length mustered courage , and came to the determination of calling a town's meeting . A requisition was got up requesting the Mayor to call a meeting at the town-hall , and on Saturday large bills were posted containing a long liBt of requisitioniste , and giving notice that a meeting would be held at the town-hall , on the following Monday , at eleven o ' clock , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a revision of ihe Corn Laws , and Custom Laws . The placard was signed by the Mayor . In the meantime the Chartists were not idle .
At half-past ten , the doors were thrown open . — The rush was tremendous , all parties hastening to secure the best position . The immense hall , which is calculated to hold ten thousand people , was Boon crammed , amongst whom was a large Bprmkling of the fair sex , who seemed to take » lively interest in the matter . Mr . Mcntz then took the chair and was cheered by the meeting . The Chartist staff then appeared , and fell in , " rank and file , " on the left of the Chair * man , and were loudly cheered . At eleven o ' clock , the Mayor stood up and stated that as the time for commencing the business had arrived , he should recommend them to give every person who addressed them a fair and impartial hearing . He hoped they would assist him in
keeping order , and afterwards decide as they thought proper . He then introduced Mr . Aid . Weston . Mr . Wisrow proceeded to address the meeting in the usual anti-Corn Law style . He read a string of statistics , shewing as well as he knew how the immense benefits that would arise from the proposition of the Ministry , descanted on the great blessings of cheap bread and cheap sugar , and concluded with a few fine flourishes about his love for the people He then proposed a string of resolutions approving the Ministerial plan , and also a petition founded on the same , and sat down amidst a mixture of groans and cheers . Mr . George Edmonds seconded the resolution , and with a significant nod of his head towards the Chartist speakers , informed the Chairman that he should reserve what he had to say until a future stage of the proceedings .
Mr . George White then presented himself , and was received with loud and repeated cheers from the immense assembly . He said that he held in his band an amendment to the proposition brought before them by Mr . Alderman Weston , and he hoped that all parlies would give a fair and impartial hearing to each speaker , as that was the only way to elicit truth , aud come to a just conclusion . The question uow before them had been long agitated , and he felt highly pleased that the Chartists had at last got an opportunity of meeting their opponents face to face . ( Loud cheers . ) He was happy to find that the same steps which were taken by the anti-Corn Law party at Manchester had not been followed up at Birmingham . He considered that meeting as a
full and fair representation of the town , as all parties hid free access * , and whatever decision they came to that day would and ought to go forth to the country as the Bolemn decision of the men of Birmingham on this important question . ( Hear , hear . ) He had listened with great attention to the statements of Mr . Weston , but he should not follow his example—namely , going to all parts of the world in search of arguments . He should content himself by stating facts which were known to them all , and which no man could controvert . The Chartists had been called Tories for the part they took in the Corn Law question , and the only reason that could be given was , that they would not be Whigs . Some people seemed to have
strange notions , and to fancy that any man , not being a Whig , must , as a matter of course , be a Tory . But he had a bit of a secret to tell the gentlemen on bis Ti&ht . ( Laughter . ) There was a party in this country called Chartists , who were an overwhelming majority of the nation , and they would prove it to them before they left that hall . ( Lond and repeated cheers . ) What , after all , was the proposition brought forward by Mr . Wetton or her Majesty ' s Ministers f What benefit would it confer on the working classes ! None whatever . Were they to be told , that afteryearsof unparalleled suffering , the present measure was the oniy one intended for their relief ! Away with such mockery ! Were the toiliDg , starving , and oppressed working men of
Great Britain to be told that the present paltry humbug was all that they were to receive from their tender-hearted rulers ! Down with such impostors But what was the real amount of benefit which the measure would confer , even taking all that had been advanced by Mr . Weston to be true , and he could not expect to be placed in a better position than that . It appeared that the duty on sugar was to be made less by Is . 6 d . on every cwt . than it was at present . Let them calcnlate how much that would reduce the poor man ' s pound or half a pound ; it would not make haif a farthing less . He congratulated the genilemen on his right on their happy selection of a subject on which to make theirappearance before the public . It was a very sweet one .
( Loud laughter . ) But they would find to their sorrow , that neither sweet smiles , or sweet words would again entrap the working men . He would ask the meeting whether they were willing to be cajoled by men who had already deceived them , and again put them in a position where they could sell their rights for a lick of sugar J ( No . ) No , it would not do to tell that tale now a days ! The working men were too enlightened , and the promises of a mouthful of bread or a spoonful of sugar would not satisfy them . They were determined to have full and complete justice and nothing less . He wished the meeting to look at the consistency of the men who made the present proposition , that they wished for an augmentation ofthe revenue—what earthly
difference did it make to them whether they paid taxes ont of their right or their left pocket , so long as they were compelled to pay the 6 ame amount , for it was well known that the whole would be wrung from the labour and sweat of the working classes . Mr . Weston had also complained of the enormous duties which were leiied on imported articles , and the small amount levied in America . He would tell them the cause of it . The Americans had not to pay fifty millions of taxes annually , to keep horses of Whig and Tory bloodsuckers . ( Loud cheers . ) On the contrary , the whole cxpences of their Government were not so much as was paid to the Bench of Judges in this country . ( Shame . ) The Chartists , then , were the only class of politicians
who proposed a real and permanent remedy . They were abo told by Mr . Weston , that if the master manufacturers were better off , they wouldfpay higher wages to their men . He doubted it , tor were tiiey not building palaces for themselves on the outskirts of » very large town ?—and it was his belief that if they had mansions equal to that of the Duke of Bucclengh , they would not then be satisfied . It had been often stated by those parties , that the value of land had increased enormously of late years . Why , then , was not the condition of the agricultural labourer bettered ? Instead of that being the case , they found that they were getting v .-orse , and he had no reason to think that the manufacturers were any better than their neighbours . The fact was , that if labourers were scarce , they
would receive high wages , but when they vrere plentiful , the masters kept them at starvation point , no matter howlarge their profits . They were told that the measurenowproposedVould increase trade . Well , suppose that it did 1 The manufacturers would increase machinery to such an extent as to overstock the globe—and if thfty even had a trade to the moon , and all the planets—allowing that they were populated , and that they could reach them , the working men would soon be as badly off as ever . Bat he saw no reason why Englishmen ought not to live without being slaves for every other nation , and be everlastingly immured in factories . He eaw eo reason why poor little children skould be dragged from their beds on a frostv morning , and converted
into cripples , in order to make a fortune for other people . He wou ! d tell them that there was no hope of bettering their condition until their labour was protected , and that their only chance of an effectual remedy was in the establishment of the Pcoplj ' s Charter . He conjured them to stand up in the digaity of manhood , and declare to the world that they would be free . ( Loud cheers . ) They had seen that Mr . Edmonds had reserved himself , in order to make use of his powers of cajolery . He warned them to be on their guard ; the weLtare of themselves , their families , and their country depended on their decision that day . He considered that he had fully refuted everything advanced by Mr . Westcn ; he should therefore leave the matter to their judgment , and propose the following
amendment : — " Resolved—That the present measure of relief proposed by the Whigs , is an insult to the toilworn and . suffering millions of this country ; and proves that they have no desire to do justice to the people . They hive also proved , by eight years of heartless profl i gacy and misrule , that their most solemn promises are not to be regarded , and that they are unworthy of the people ' s confidence . That although the Corn Laws are uujust and oppressive , yet the present House of Commons being inimical to the people ' s rights , will not repeal the same , except through an agitation bordering on Revolution . " He then sat down amid loud cheering .
Mr . Benjamin Hill e .-conded the amendment As Mr . Edmonds had reserved himself , they had resolved to keep some cf their great guns reserved also . He hoped that the discussion might be fairly

conducted , and that each party would receive a patient hearing . ( He was immediately interrupted by » gentleman named Smith . ) Mr . Hill proceeded . He was ray sorry that Mr . Smith left his brains at home , and could conduct himself no better . ( Some confusion here took place , and after an explanation from Mr . Smith , Mr . Hill resumed . ) He supported the amendment because be considered the Whig proposal to be an outrageous insult to the unfortunate beings who were compelled to toil / or four or five shillings per week , to offer them such a paltry and contemptible measure , which , if it was ever carried , would not , according to the representation of its warmest advocates , do any more than reduce a pound of sugar from 7 d . to 6 Jd . The working
men could not afford to lose their time in agitating for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and were determined to get rid of her Majesty ' s brutal ministers . Would the working men be the tools to prop up the most wicked Government that ever existed in this country I ( No , no , and loud cheers . ) He knew they would not . Mr . Muntz , the member for Birmingham , had declared in his place in Parliament , " that a repeal of the Corn Laws could not be effected without reducing wages , and that it meant that , or it meant nothing ; " yet the same man sends a letter to the inhabitants of Birmingham , advising them to support the present measure . Where was
the consistency of such conduct } The people of this ill-used country were alraady in deep trouble , and it was the intention of the Corn Jaw repealers to make them still worse and bring them to a level with their Buffering brethren in Ireland . They were told to agitate for the present measure . He would do no Buch thing , for he knew that the same amount of agitation that carried the Reform Bill would also carry a Republic , if they thought proper . Why not agitate for the Charter , and then they could settle all other questions ? For these reasons he would second the amendment . Mr . Hill retired and was loudly and deservedly cheered .
Robebt Kellie Douglas then made his appearance in front , and was treated to a hearty round of hisses , mingled with a few weak cheers . He endeavoured to get up a smile , but could not manage it ; he saw that his day was gone by . He however commenced to tell much the same story as the worthy Alderman who preceded him . He said that Mr . White had told them that the value of land had increased . That was just what he wanted to impress on their minds . He then endeavoured to exonerate himself from the charge of wishing to assist the Whigs ; ho declared that he would have nothing to do with them . ( The meeting did not relish this , and commenced shouting" It won't do , " " We don't believe you , " &o . ) He hoped they would give him a
hearing ; he had been all his life a reformer , aud thought they should allow him to be heard . ( " We have heard you too often . " ) Mr . Douglas then produced a small map with a zig-zag line drawn through the middle , in order to show the meeting the rise and fall in the price of corn , and got laughed and hooted at for his pains . He then produced Tail ' s Magazine , in order , as he stated , to read an account of the Manchester massacre . The meeting grew uproarious , hooting and yelling with all their might , so that not a single word was heard about the evil doings of the Tories . Mr . Douglas then flew into a violent rase . Ho bellowed and foamed in first-rate
style , and finding that fail , he begged most p itifully . The Chairman and Chartist speakers exerted themselves to procure him a heating , and ultimately succeeded . He'then proceeded to tell the meeting that the men who stood with him were the most honourable men that could be found , and gave them to understand that he did not approve of the leaders whom the people had thought proper to choose . He the , n delivered a long tirade against the Tories , and concluded by stating that the question was not whether they would have the Whigs , but whether they would rupport the Tories . He retired amidst terrific yells and groans , and looked mortified boyond measure .
Mr . John Collins then stood forward , and was received with loud cheers . He said that he had listened to the concluding remarks of Mr . Douglas , and could not see what they meant , unless to prop the Whigs . When Mr . Douglas took so much pains to abuse the- Tories for their misdeeds , he could draw no other inference except that it was meant to make the Whigs appear better . Mr . Douglas had read them a long story about the misdeeds of the Tories , and the Manchester Massacre ; but he said not a word about the Irish Coercion Bill or the Bull Ring . ( Loud cheers . ) Those gentlemen would have them to think that corn grew like blackberries , and required neither capital nor labour—that it had only to be picked up . He had a document drawn up by
one of their own friends , from which it appeared that the warehousing , freight , and dues of various descriptions , which was laid upon corn leaving foreign ports , amounted to 18 a . 3 d . per quarter . Add to this the 8 s . fixed duty proposed by the Whigs , and he should like to know how much better they would be off , or what benefit they would receive from tb © measure . ( Loud cries of "Hear , heal * . ") Mr . Douglas had stated something about the amount which the Com Tax placed in the pockets of the landowners . If be were to be robbed , it mattered not to him by which patty the robbary was effected , for if the Corn Laws m-re repealed , he saw no likelihood of its bettering the condition of bis class . He would shew the meeting that the prepoaed measure was not intended
t # do them any good , for the resolutions < f the gentlemen on his right , admitted that it was intended to increase the revenue . But they were told that the present measure was to act as a wedge . Why ? The Reform Bill was held up to tbinv merely as a wedge . And what good had they received from it . How came it to pasfl that the present measure was proposed by the Whig Ministry ? Had they only just found out thattbeir previous policy was erroneous ? If so , it proved that they were not capable of governing , ( loud cheers . ) But they were in a minority , and consequently threw out the present bait , and if he was fully satisfied that they were now sincere , ho must confess that ho liked not a sick bed repentance , for they often found that those who mode the largest promises in that situation , seldom
fulfilled them when the danger was removed , —( laughter ) ;—but giving tbem all credit for sincerity , the present measure was not calculated to benefit the working classes . Mr . Collins then proceeded to read from a list of the returns of the duty charged on the importation of foreign grain , and showed to the meeting that for the last few years the average duty was le » s thaa eight shillings ; if , then , the duty was fixed at eight shillings , it was quite clear that it would increase the revenue , and that they would have to pay more than before ; they were told by a previous speaker that if this measure was noS passed , England would become a desert . He remembered a . motto that used to be on one of the Political Union ' s flags , " Englanti free or a desert , " and he hoped his fellow-countrymen would be content with nothing
lees than freedom . He knew not what to think of the consistency ofsomemen , far some of the persons who were the supporters of the present measure were a short time back opposed not only to the present plan , which was enly a revision , but to a total repeal of the Corn Laws . He had a paper in his hand called the Birmingham Journal , in which the repeal of the Corn Laws was scoflcd at as an imposition , and which positively stated that their repeal neither then ( at the time it was written ) nor at any future time could be productive of the least benefit . He then rend various extracts from tue Journal , which shewed up the conduct of Mr . Douglas in n most unfavourable light , and proved bis present conduct to be grossly inconsistent . Whilst Mr . Collins was reading the extracts , Mr .
Douglas happened to put his handkerchief to his face , when there was a tremendous burst of laughter , and shouts of (" Don't cry , Douglas . " ) Mr . Collins continued . He would wish to remind the Editor of ihat paper , that the views he held of the Corn Luws were the same that he had promulgated . The Editor of the Journal had instructed the people to view the question as they then did , but the consistency of the people was not like that of some parties , it lasted longer than two or three . weeks . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Collins declared that lie had not changed . He had been often blamed , and sometimes praised , but although he liked the approbation of bis fellow men , he liked that of his conschuce better . The parties who endeavoured to get up the present agitation ,
wanted to be enabled to compete with foreigners , and how were they to do bo if they did not cheapen men ' s labour ? His opinion was , that nothing would better their condition hut an alteration in the present House of Commons . He would therefore conclude by supporting the amendment He retired amid loud cheera . Mr . T . C . Salt then made his appearance ; he looked much defeated when he found no cheer . no token of approbation . He commencedjby stating that he had abad cold , but was nevertheless determined to state his views . It was not sufficient for the parties on his left to defend their views , but thfty attacked others uttsonally . ( Great confusion and groans , accompanied with shouts of " No deserters , we ' ve had enough of you . " " Give us the Charter , " &c . ) He acknowledged
the principles of the Charter ; he would go to the question like an honest man . ( Oh , oh , and confusion . / He did not deal in high promise ? , like some people , and Ml them they should have the Charter on a certain date . ( The hisses and yells that followed are indescribable . ) Let Chartists be Chartists . ( So we will . ) But if they could forward the Charter through the medium of tho Corn Laws , why not do so ? ( Tremendous groans and hi £ 3 es . ) He would give them the Charter if he could , but they were divided amongst themselves . ( We ue not . ) Who were the persona that had created the present division ? It was those , who talked of shouldering their muskets and fighting . — ( Groans and hisses . ) They might treat him with what
hostility tbey thought proper . He did not care for their booting and gToaniag . He had always advocated the rights of the poor . ( Shouta of " You have not , " and hisses . ) If tbey would assist in the present agitation , they would be enabled to drag society to pieces , and then , as Cobbett said , the national debt would be their best friend . ( Tremendous groans , accompanied with cries of " We don't want to drag society to pieces , " " We want justice , " and " You are not fit for a Chartist" ) They said ha was not fit to be a . Chutist ; the Chartists had turned people against them by their conduct ( The meeting here grew uproarious , and all the efforts of the Chairman , assisted by the Chartist speakers , could not procure Mr . Salt a heating . He retired in a rage . }

Mr . Arthur O'Netl then stood forward , and wa loudly cheered . He aaid he caine there to give a warning voice to the people , lest by any means they should give another tease to tyranny . He east back in the teeth of their enemies the base insinuations which bad been made eoncaratag the Chartists . They had not come there to prove whether Chartism wm dead or not ; but that meeting abundantly proved that they were neither dead nor asleep . { Lond cheering . ) They were now better informed than ever , and would not pin their faith to any man ' s sleeve , bat were determided to abide by principle . ( Hear / bear . ) They had been taunted with acting with the Tories ; but he could prove that the Tories were acting with them , for some ol them had signed their requisition . The
Cbarttsta were determined not to take a paltry acknowledgment—they were determined to have alL ( Loud cheers . ) Had they any confidence in the present offer of the Whig Ministry ? ( No , no . ) What was their conduct a fortnight ago with regard to the Irish franchise ? After proposing five pounds , they raised it to eight pounds . ( Hear . ) As an Irishman he lifted up hit voloe against such baseness . Were there any Irishmen present (" Yea , yes . " ) Then he called en them , in the name of their country , to seoat such deoeivew : theix cry should be , " Perish the Whigs I " They have betrayed na . Seven or eight years had rolled over their heads : they had starved in patience , and continued to hope that the end of each year would bring them relief . Tbey had hoped that something might induce the Whig * to lighten their burdens ; but , Tain hope ! they never intended to do anything for them . They had hea » d . several opinions with regard to the Whinj some said , "Try them again . " If the
present measure was agreed to , and Ministers firmly fixed in their office , and pursued the same course they had hitherto done , the gentlemen on his right would say the same as they then did at the expiration of the next seven yean . There was no trusting them ; for if they took off a tax , what guarantee had they that they would net put it on the next week , as they had done with the Malt Tax . { Hear , hear . ) Do as they would , they would stilt put their unhallowed bands in the peoples pockets . ( Hear , ) Nothing bat the Charter could cure their numerous wrongs—but lawyers and expediency mongers could not look so high—they appealed to the commonest feeling of man , iianeiy , bis belly . He Implored the meeting not to sell their country for a mesa of pottage . If they supported this motion they would put the Whigs in power—let them stand up in the dignity of manhood and boldly demand tho whole of their rights . He concluded by supporting the amendment and sat down amid loud cheers .
The Rev . T . M'Domnell , then appeared dose to the Chairman , and , in an agitated tremulous tone commenced his address . He said he should not make use of high sounding phrases- He had no doubt tbey would support those whom they knew to be their best friends , and who had been so long before them . ( Laughter . ) He knew that be not only stood in their presence , but also in the presence of his God , and therefore would not tell a lie . ( Renewed laughter , ) Why did the ( entlemaa on bis left laugh ? Was it because he expressed his belief in God . ( Hisses . ) He looked upon the present proposal as calculated to do good He would tell them a story that had been related by Mr . OConnell . ( Loudgroans , and shouts of " We want to hear nothing ahout him . " ) He hoped they would give him at fair a hearing as they had given to the gentlemen oa his left . ( " We have beard enough of you . " )
The Chairman and Chartist speakers exerted themshelves to procure him a hearing , after which he proceeded . The parties oa bis left appeared to be all young men . He saw that some had black and some had brown hair . ( Mr . White then palled off his hat and stated that the Whigs had made bis hair grey in prison . Mr . M'Donnell replied , " Oh ; that is only a mark of precocious talent" ) He then stated that the Whigs were like an old hat in a broken window , although it kept out the cold , yet it kept out the light also , but the Tories would do neither . He then entered into along defence of his own conduct , and that of bis friends , during which time he was treated to a plentiful supply of groans and hisses byway of chorus . Heat length retired amidst the hooting and execrations of the meeting .
Mr . Wm . Dean Taylor then stood up , and wm loudly aud repeatedly cheered . He said , that he understood that meeting to be called for the purpose of considering the question of the Corn Laws . But the last speaker bad dwelt nearly the whole of the time on topics unconnected with the object for which the meeting was called . His speech was merely a defence of himself and friends . The speakers on the other side had entirely departed from the question . He , however , would not do so . He would prove by facts and arguments that the view taken by their opponents was totally at variance with facts . He came not there to defend the Corn Laws ; he believed them to be unjust and oppressive , but althomgb he thought so , he maintained that the present House of Commons would not
remove them without a convulsion . With a repeal of the Corn Laws the parties on bis right had mixed up the sugar and timber duties , and as had already been shewn , the amount of the proposed reduction could not ; benefit the working man ; and the Corn Laws being repealed , without at the same time passing other remedial measures , would inevitably bring , unmixed ruin on the agriculturist Ho then directed their attention to the subject of machinery . Foreign countries were manufacturing for themselves , and machinery was being exported from this country on a large scalp , which enabled them not only to compete with this country , but actually to undersell them . He then read a list of the amount of machinery which bad been exported from this country to various foreign
ports for the last ten yean , from which it appeared that the exportation of machinery to other parts had increased enormously . Mr . Taylor then continued—Now , looking at these statements , he wanted to know how tbey could expect those countries to pull down their mills , and cease to manufacture ? He would adduce an argument that would show the meeting that Corn Laws were not the sole cause of dear bread ; for in 1893 the people paid 10 d . for a loaf , and in 1812 they paid 20 a . ; and in those years the Corn Laws wore not in existence . He , therefore , asked them whether the proposed reduction would procure them the benefit they sought ? Even allowing that the present mcabure would give them bread at half its present price , still the masters bad the power of grinding down the
wages of the working man . What object had the advocates of the measure in view , if it was not the reduction of wages , for unless they did that , they would be no more able to compete with foreigners than tbey were at present ; and , if their wages were to be reduced , what possible benefit could they derive from the measure ? The working classes of this country had been worked like slaves , and fed like bogs ; tbey bad been working Uv the whole world , instead ef themselves . Their machinery had done tbem no good ; but , on the contrary , produced unheard ot misery amongst tbe great mass of the people . There were other evils in existence besides the Com Laws ; there were Poor Laws —( hear , hear , and cheers)—Police Laws , and a host of other bad laws , which had brought the labourers
of this country to a state of unparalleled slavery and degradation . They were told that public opinion was capable of carrying the proposed measure . He admitted it ; but if public opinion was marshalled , the same amount would carry the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) The Whigs knew that public opinion was against them , and for that reason they crept into holes and corners . There was no principle in their present proposition , and he heped that now the men of Birmingham were assembled in their thousands , they weuld shew to the world that they were determined to be free . For the reasons he had stated , be should support Mr . White ' s amendment ; and he then retired amidst the most enthusiastic applause .
Mr . Goddard then addressed the meeting in a very weak voice . He said that he was one of the little guns on bis side of the question ; something had been said concerning the little guns on the other side , but he thought they were all big ones . He then proceeded to pass some remarks on the American trade , which were of no importance . Mr . Ejipson replied to Mr . Goddard'a remarks , and read some statistics which shewed up the fallacies of the Corn Law repealers . Mr . George Edmonds , who took notes during the whole of the proceedings , and who was to nave been the lion of the day ( at least he seemed to think so / , then stood forward ta give a- final reply to the Chartist arguments . He pulled out his gold-framed eye-glass ,
and looked as big as possible ; and after a few " hems , ' commenced his speech . He reminded the meeting of the great services which he had rendered to the people . He had been tho first to call a meeting in Birmingham for Reform , and lie had never deviated from it Who was it that created the present division amongst them ? Feargus O'Connor had done so , when he first came among them ; but he had stood up against hia wild measures . ( The yells , groans , and hisses that followed this declaration were really astounding : the valiant George looked terrified , aud he beseeched in a meat pitiful manner that he might be heard ; but the remainder of his address could only be caught in detached portions by those who Btood near him in tbe organ gallery . ) He bad been before them for twenty years ,
and no man bad suffered more than him in the people ' s cause . ( GroaDS and hisses ) He then readaome statements from the Advertiser , in order to shew up the Tories , but it would not do . He then commenced an attack on the Chartist speakers , said that tbey were all young menaud strangers . He could not think what could induce the men of Birmingham to place their confidence in such men , and to desert their best friends . ( Loud laughter . ) He asked Mr . Collins what aoit of a government be wanted ? If they turned out the Whigs they were sure to have the Tories , and in the present state of society , thoy could not get a Chartist Government .
( Hisses and groans . ) He was as much opposed to the Whigs qs thoy were . Let no man think that be wished to support them —( bah , bah , )—because they wanted to get what tbey called the Charter , were they to forego the present-benefit-2 :. ( Renewed uproar . ) Would they be silent whilst he addressed them ? ( No , no . ) He then flow into a rage , and commenced a long tirade of abuse against Mr . Collins and the other Chartist speakers , amidst uproar and confusion . The Mayor interfered , and be was allowed to proceed under a promise of only Bpeakinga few minutes . Ho then proceeded : Could they get the Charter from the Whigs ? No 1 Could they get it from the Tories 2 No !

When the people were united they could get anything by moral means ; but ho would oppose a physical force party .. ( Renewed hisses . ) He then attacked Fergus O'Connor for proposing' a day ou which the Charter should become law . ¦ :- ' - . Mr . White interposed , and told him it was cowardly and base to attack a man who was in prison , and could not have an opportunity of defending himself . ; Mr . Edmonds endeavoured to gain a hearing , but it was no ase , the meeting would not hear him . He looked the picture of despair , frothing and foaming like a man beside himself . He at length turned round and said be would take his leave of them , and hand them over to his friends on the left He then sat down and was hissed most cordially by the immense assembly , which was estimated , at that time , to be twelve thousand , the hall and the galleries being crammed falL ' - ¦ - ¦ ¦'¦' ¦ ¦ :.

: Tne Chairman then arose , and stated that it now became hia duty to take the . sense of the meeting on the resolution which had been proposed , and as he was rather hoarse , he would request the movers of both resolutions to read them to the meeting , that they might clearly understand what they were voting for . - - - .. - '¦ ¦ ¦ . ' . _ . . ' . ¦ -. - The Rev . T . M'Don * ell then read a string of propositions approving of the measure contemplated by her Majesty ' s Ministers , and read a petition embodying the same . ; , Mr . George White read his amendment , after which
The Mayor stood up and stated that , in order to come to & just decision , he hoped they would hold up both hands . He should pat the resolutions in the following manner : —When , he pat the amendment he would say—Mr . White ' s amendment ; and when he put the original resolution he should say—Mr . Weston ' * resolution . Did they understand him f ( Yes , yes . ) The most profound silence was kept , and the Mayor called on all those who approved of Mr . White ' s amendment to hold op their hands ; an immense forest , comprising at least nine-tenths of tbe meeting , held up their hands , and gave a cheer that fairly shook the building . The Chairman then pat it to the contrary , when a very small portion of " Milk White" hands were held up .
The Chairman then declared : the amendment of Mr . White to be carried with a considerable majority * This announcement was . received by load and enthusiastic cheers and waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies who crowded the side galleries ' . The ministerial gentry then requested the Mayor toput the question again , to which he consented , and oa the Becond show of hands being taken it seemed larger in favour of the Chartists than before . Tbe Mayor then said that he had no hesitation fndeciaring the amendment carried by a very considerable majority . The announcement gave rise to deafening and enthasi&stic cheer * . The gentlemen on the right of the chair looked oa each other with dismay , and shook th « ir heads In solemn silence .
Mr . Douglas then stepped forward , and declare * to the meeting , that he acknowledged they had been fairly beaten . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Arxhur , ONeil then moved the fallowing resolution , which had originally formed a part of Mr . White ' s amendment , bat was reserved as a second , by the desire of the Chartists who were in the g » Uery . Resolved— " That the same amount of public opinion calculated to Repeal the Com Laws , would secure for the people the whole of their rights ; this meeting is , therefore , determined not to rest satisfied until the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less , become the law of this realm , and the incarcerated and exiled ChartUts be restored to their homes . " The resolution was received with load cheers . Mr . Collins seconded the resolution . The parties on tbe right of the chair insisted that it had no reference to the present meeting , aad requested the Mayor not to put it .
The Mayor hoped the Chartists would not insist , as there was some doubt about it . The Chartists , feeling that they had already achieved a fall and complete victory , and that no person could deny that their principles had been acknowledged to the fullest extent , and also on account of the impartial manner in which the Mayor bad put the resolutions , consented not to press it A vote of thanks was then given to the Mayor for his impartial conduct , to which he replied that be would always endeavour to act impartially , and give ail parties fair play ; he at the same time informed them that he did not approve ot the decision they had come to that day .
Mr . White thea proposed three cheers for the Charter , * which were given in the first style ; three for Feargus O'Connor , Which was also heartily responded to ; and three tor the incarcerated Chartists . Three terrific groins Vore then given for the Whigs , after which the numerous assembly departed . No less than twenty thousand people attended from the commencement to the conclusion .
