But all their pany tricks are Tain ; for none Can tarnish trutb—can veil the noos-day sun , Or shut the dewy eye of Orient morn , Which ushers the bright beams of snmmer ' s day . Sivy , with rueful blast , did ever wait To scatter blights , so as to nip or check The bud of honest fame ; but oft the means It uses to repress serves to impd . Justice and truth will serve to show Thtir beav ' n-born strength , and power how unimpaired By all the Bland'rous aims of wily spite , Whose poisoned shafts so oft reverberate . And strike the miscreants who dare to poise So dire a deadly blow .

SHEFFIELD . —Ttbax . vt of ax Employer . — Ifaieb . has been said by the pretended liberals of the idencty of interest subsisting between the employer and the employed , and of ths disposition of the nriddle-nien to better the condition of the working classes ; but we now give the reader another instance of the tyranny of the prnfc-monger , and an example of the kind of liberality so much paraded by the advocates of the new doctrine , "join the middle classes . " A correspondent from the neighbourhood of Sheffield , informs us that a spade and shovel master , whose name he gites , bnt which , for the present , we withhold , is in the habit of using ereas injustice toward 3 those in his employ ; one of the men , "who could no longer brook the insult and
oppression of the tyrant , said a few words in his own defence , when the master immediately told him to take a month ' s warning . The man , during the month , ripeaiedly implored his employer to allow him to continue , he having seven small children dependent upon him for support . This was refused , and the man was constquently obliged to apply to his parish for relief , when the Guardians gave him ft note , telling him to get it signed by two respectable ratepayers . He -went to the master and requested him to attach bi 3 name to the paper , which he refused to do , saying , " Do you think I am going to sgn thai note for you to feieii the znoaey out of the parish that I have paid in ! " However , the man got it signed by others , and acain went to the
Guardians , who , in the interim , had received a l | JJer from the tyran : master , stating that it was entirely the fault of the applicant that he was out of employ , and also that he could earn £ 3 per week , when the fact is that the man was stinted to the very lowest "wage , namely , not more than eighteen shillings per week . The Guardians , it appear ? , " sent him awaj empty . ** The poor man again made application to the tyrant employer , who at length gave him a few hames to make . On the Saturday following , the man enquired if he was to ha ? e any money ; the master asked if the work was finished . ** No f replied the man . " it is not finished , I could not complete it for want of nails and files , " which articles it is the master ' s duty to supply . The
result was , that tha man had to struggle without money for three weeks , he having , as before stated , Seven small children to maintain ; and this was not in consequence of a depression of trade , but purely an aci of tyranny on the pan of the employer . Our informant further states that the man bad to work with hard gas coke , whereas he on fe ht t o have been supplied with soft coke . Another case of somewhat similar character ia mentioned by our correspondent , the details of which we cannot now find space for ; yet , we shall give the reason why the masters exercise scch tyranny towards the men . The latter
have established a society to protect the rights of industry , ^ sd the fo rmer are using every means within their power to destroy ihe society . The employers have procured men to swear that they have been intimidated by the members of the society , and , through false swearing , seven men have been committed for one month each to the House of Correction at Wakefield . An attempt is made by the masters to reduce the washes of the spade and shovel makers one shilling per dozen , which will amount to twelve shillings per week . So much for identity of interest , and middle class desire to extend general happiness !
BBADFOHO . —Iixegil Distress . —An action was tried some weeks ago , in the Court for the Honour of Pontefraei , held at Bradford , of some importance to landlord and tenant , illustrative of the arbitrary and unfeeling manner in which pro--psny-made-law is too frequently earriedinto execution , the sufferers being often without the means Cwhich we axe happy to say was not the case in the present instance ) of obtaining redress . Mr . Clarkson appeared as attorney for the plaintiff John Smith , a woobfcapler , ib Bradford , and stated the cise . In the early part of this year , a distress for rent was made by Matthew Booth , constable of Horton , upon the goods and chattels of one Joseph Smith of Horton , a poor woolcomber , but the time allowed for sale elapsed without the goods being disposed of according to law . Smith , who has a wife and family of Email children , soon afterwards became chargeableand were removed to their place
, of settlement in the Skipton Union . Booth , taking advantage of Smith ' s absence , unceremoniously broke open his house , and took forcible possession of the effects . Smith remained chargeable bnt a short time , and before bis return mentioned the hardships of his case to the overseers , who declined encountering litigation with the constable , bat they did not end the poor fellow " empty away f knowing his '"retched condition , they most humanely fare him on his discharge wtierewith to bar his expences home , £ 2 towards replacing his furniture , arranged to allow him 2 s . Sd . per week for three months , and pay biB rent till he and his family procured employment . On Smith's return , hi 3 friends interfered and remonstrated with Booth , who , becoming sensible of his error , agreed to refund £ 6 , the produce of the sale of the goods , and signed a promissory note far that amount , payable to the plaintiff ( Smith's brother ) , towards which £ 1 only had been received ,

Booth refusing to pay the . balance , for recovery of which the present action was commenced . Air . Clarkson admitted , that the note , although formal in other respects , was upon unstamped pspar , and consequently he could not give it in evidence , but produced it to shew that it bore Booth's sigaatnre and was the result of a previous agreement which he -would prove , and thus be relieved from the necessity of relying entirely upon the sote . Mr . Cooper for the defendant , objected to that mode of procedure , disputed the consideration on the note , and contended that no . action could be maintained but upon the note only . After hearing arguments pro and con , the conrt overruled the objections , staling that it was competent for the plaintiff to elect in whit form he would tno : the cause proceededand
, evidence was given supporting the fact 3 abovestated . It was then attempted to be shewn that the matter was settled with the Clerk of the Union , to whom Booth had voluntarily made a small payment on account of Smith ' s maintenance , and that the overseers had provided the means of refurnishing his house . In answer to this , it was clearly shewn that the whole affair was properly explained to the overseers , who with a . knowledge of all the circumstances , instead of risking the expences of a law snit , considerately preferred giving Smith pecuniary assistance , and left him to his remedy . The Court eulogised the conduct of tho overseers and considering that this did not affect the question between the parties , gave a verdict for the plaintiff for his full claim £ 5 , and costs .
BISHOP AT 7 CKZ * A 2 fD . —Ancient Shepherds . —Oa Saturday . May the 29 th , 1841 , The Brothers of tho Loyal Victoria , Adelaide ' s , Jacob's Ladder , and Shepherd ' s Hope Lodges , of the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds , Ashton Unity , formed a procession at the house of brother Wm . Hall , Shepherd , from Bishop-Auckland , and wens to the Independent Chapel , where the Rev . Mr . Munroe preached an excellent sermon from the lhh chapter of Hebrews , and 8 th verse . After divine « servico they walked to West Auckland , headed by Lord Pradhoe ' s brass band . Upwards' of one hundred members ^ at down to di nner ; after which a lodge was opened at Durham , and another at Yarm , making six lodges opened by the officers of Ossett district within a short period of time .
CARLISLE . —The Anti-Corn Law League . — Thisaimo 3 t defunct body held a meeting in tkeTown Hall , a few . evenings ago ; for the purpose of moTing an address to the non-eleciors , as to the course they ought to pnrsae previous to the anticipated general election ; in order to influence the ten pound voters and the old freemen , in favoiir of those candidates , who will support the Ministerial measure for a fixed duty . What a slavish , unprincipled set of humosgs these men must be , who a short while a ^ o , wculd hear of . nothing but total repeal ; and now because her Majesty ' s Miin ^ t .-rs have brought iorward a measure , for a very trivial alteration in those laws , the leading members of the League give them their Bnboundsd support I The people however , now see
through the boilowness of their pretensions , and the consequence has been , that their weekly meetings haye been a ; l but deserted , with the exception of a t ' evr noisy , empty and selfish brawler ? , who are the laughing stock of all sensible men to whatever party they belong . The anticipated address was not broughi forward , doubtless from a fear of being defeated , for there were some staunch Chartists presenf , -who weuld have most assuredly opposed any such hole-and-corner proceedings , and who would have moved for a public meeting of the people , to take such steps as they niixht deem necessary , to sesare the return of men to Parliament who are likely to promote such measures as will benefit the country . We understand , ihat a requisition to the mayor is in course of signature , requesting him to
cali a pnbac meeting of the electors and inhabitants of the borough of Carlisle , to take into consideration the present critical state of public affairs and to adoprsuch steps as may be deemed Lecessary , under present circumstaiic-rs , to secure the return of such men in the forthcoming Parliament , as are calculated to promote tho well-being and prosperity of ill classes _ of the community . Should this requisition be numerously signed , as we think it will , there is little doubt of the mayor calling a public meeting , and also preeiding on the occasion . It will then be for the people to do their duty to themselves and to enter into such resolutions as are likely to promote their own interests , for they must be now convinced of the absolute necessity of acting for themselves end not trusting to those who have so often deceived them .
East Cumberland . —There is likely to be a severe contest for this dhision of the county , as a great number of the constituents are much dissatisfied with ; he present members , William James , £ ^ q , and Charles Howard , Esq . A large meeting of tne Conservatives was held sn Penrith a lew nights ago , when if was resolved to invite Cnarles Musgrave , ^ Esq ., and Colonel Lowther to come forvai-d in the Conservative interest ; should they do so there will be a very severe contest .

Vincent Daniels , woollendraper , No . 23 , Brewer-street , Golden-square , was charged with having bitten off one of the fingers of a gentleman named John James Duncan , of the Union Hotel , Cockspur-street . From what wa 3 gathered on examination of the witnesses , it appeared that Mr . Daniel , with two friends , S ; r F . W . Danbar and Mr . Arthur Scurry , were in Coventrycourt , about four o ' clock that morning , when they encountered the defendant and a friend , who appeared t o be engaged in a dispute with some cabmeu . A remark wa 3 made by some of complainant's party which attracted the notice of defendant , and words having ensued , Mr . Duncan and Mr . Daniel
ultimately came to blows . Mr . Scurry stated that he went to assist his friend Diincan to rise from the ground , upon which his friend called out that he had lost one of his fingers . Ono of the bye-standoin , named Piner , subsequently picked up the severed finger near the spot where the parties bad been engaged in conflict . Some policemen having heard the disturbance went into the court , and ultimately took the defendant to the Station-house . Mr . Duncan made the charge , and the defendant was locked up . On examination of the iDjury it appeared that Mr . Duncan had lost the first joint of his fourth finger of the left hand , and the little finger had aJso been nearly bitten through . Policeman Andersou , C 85 , produced the finger . One of tho complainant ' s friends said that Mr . Duncan was then ill in bed
and quite unable to attend . A medical certificate was produced , which stated that the complainant had been so seriously injured that his life was in danger . The defendant , in explanation , said he did not bite the complainant . He had been insulted and attacked by seyeral persons , and he had been obliged to stand in his own defence . Mr . Maltby said he should remand the case until Tuesday , in consequence of the certificate , and he should further require a daily certificate from the medical attendaut to be laid before him , in order that the state of the sufferer might be ascertained . Mr . Humphreys applied for permission to put in bail . Mr . Maltby said he could not allow the defendant to go at large on bail . The witnesses were then requested to be in ittendan : e at the n « xt examination .
Conflagration at Dvxstable . —Late on Saturday afternoon the principal insurance authorities in the city received intelligence from Dunstable of a most destructive fire happening in that town on the morning of Wednesday week , by which twenty-one houses were entirely destroyed , and property to the extent of some thousands consumed . It was discovered at about fi ? 8 minutes after one o ' clock raging furiously on the premises occupied by a Mr . Thomas Fossey , a confectioner , which stood in High-street , ou the west tide , near the corner of Church-street . The premises were three stories high , and were constructed principally of wood , having a white frontr . ge , and several small outbuildings at the back . The flamea in less than seven minutes after the
discovery shot through all the apartments in the dwelling-house , and were blazing from the numerous windows with great violence , and , within a quarter of an hour , the destruction of the whole premises was complete . The adjoining houses to the east , occupied by Mr . Clark , chemist aad druggist , and on the opposite side by Mr . Halifax , boot and Bhoemaker , and Mr . Cheshire , upholsterer and cabinetmaker , next became a prey to the devouring element . It had , in addition to the above houses , enveloped those belonging to Mr . Burgess , tailor , Mr . Cheshire , wholesale grocer , in High-street , and communicated to a range of dwelling-honses in Churchstreet , tenanted by labouring men and their families . The distress amongst these poor creatures was truly heartrending . They had barely time to save their wearing apparel , before the terrible work of devastation burst upon them , and ere many minutes had
elapsed , their habitations were reduced to a heap of ruins . Such was the fury of the flames , that in two hours twenty-one houses and several outbuildings were burnt to the ground- The amount of damage in High-street is stated to be , Mr . Fossey , £ 800 ; Mr . Clark , chemist , £ 1 , 000 ; Mr . Burgess , £ 700 ; Mr . Cheshire , grocer , £ 1 , 500 ; Mr . Halifax , £ 300 ; Mr . Thomas Cheshire , cabinet-maker , £ 500 ; Mr . Young , £ 300 ; aud Mr . Oliver , £ 200 . Some of these are insured in several fire-offices to' the extent of their respective losses . Most of the families who are burnt out in Church-street are straw-plait makers ; they are great sufferers , none of them being insured . During the ra-ging of the fire , which was without exception the largest that has taken place in Bedfordshire for several years , the flames illuminated the adjacent country to the extent of many miles . Providentiailv no lives were lost .
Whig Purity of Election . —In the House of Commons , on Wednesday in last week , Mr . Godson said he had to present a petition , which claimed the interference of the House , It was a petition from Edward P . Cox and other ; persons , electors of the town of Nottingham , complaining of the Bysiem of bribery which had been pursued towards them by parties in favour of the Whig interest at the last election . The petitioners stated that they were friendly to the principles of the Charter , and that they had advanced the interests of Mr . Walter , the sitting Member ; that they had been requested to receive £ 50 to get over the Chartists to the Whig party ; that they refused to accede to the proposal , and were then requested to go away for a short
time ; to which proposition they had also dissented ; that they were then told an alteration had takeu place in the views of the particular parties , and that instead of keeping out of the way , it was wished that the petitioner , Edward P . Cox , being a good electioneerer , should go to any two Boroughs—of of the Boroughs of Bassetlaw , Newark , and Walsall—and endeavour to bribe the electors , and that he should have £ 50 and his expenses at each of those places , as compensation for hi 3 services ; that he received a portion of money for the purpose of showing they were Berious in making the offer ; that he afterwards went to London , requesting that a letter might be sent to him there ; and that he afterwards received the following letter , which he ( Mr . Godson ) would read to the House : —
" Dear Coxe , —Enclosed yon will receive £ 20 ; not having received any supplies , I have forwarded this from my own private stock , and will forward the remaining £ 10 in the course of a few days . " Tha petitioner farther stated that he brought those allegations under the notice of the Home , with a view of showing to the country at large the extent of the iniquitous practices retorted to for returning Whig candidates to tbat House ; and in order that such oifenees should be visited with punishment by
the authority of that House , to that * recurrence of such evil prictiees might be discouraged and prevented at the ensuing elections . The petitioner , in conclusion , stated that ho hoped the matter contained in the allegations in his petition , would be brought before the House ; and that he was cot only prepared to prove those allegations himself , but there were other witnesses who would confirm hiB evidence . He , therefore , prayed that the House would institute an inquiry into the same . ( Hear , hear . )

Norton , said that , when tho robbery took place , 6 he was going to her father , who keeps a coffee-stall in the Commercial-road , and swore positively that the prisoner dragged the bhawl off her shoulders . Inspector Rutt said thai
tho prisoner , who had been in the force for about t vvo v ' > ars , and who had frequently been reportfd for irregularity , was uotr sober whon taken into custody . The prisoner said there was another constable with him when the girl had dropped her shawl , and who saw him pick it up . The conatable alluded to was seat for , but he denied the statement of the prisoner . Mr . Norton observed that ho did not think the prisoner had taken tho shawl with a felonious intention , but still his conduct , as a policeman , was highly improper . It was his duty to protect such persona as the girl hu Lad assailed , and not commit such an outrage upon them . Mr . Pclha-m , who attended on behalf of tho prisoner , here observed that
there could bo no doubt , from what fell from Inspector Wright , that the prisoner's days in Uie polico were numbered , as ho would no doubt be at once discharged from the force ; and as his worship appeared to have made up his mind to inflict a penalty , he hoped he would take this circumstance into consideration . Mr . Norton said it was quite impossible he could overlook such gross conduct on the part of the prisoner ; but taking into consideration the fact that ho would be discharged from the police , he would merely impose a penalty of twenty shillings . The prisoner , on whom six sovereigns were i ' ouud , instantly paid the penalty , and was discharged .
Jealousy . —Attempted Murdbh and Suicide . — On Friday , tho 4 th , an inquest was held before Mr . Wakley , at the Richmond Arms , Richmond-street , Lisson-grove , on the body of James Sears , aged thirty-three , greengrocer , of No . 42 in the same street , who , after a desperate attempt to murder his wife , by beating her across the head with a poker , destroyed himself by cutting his throat , under the following circumstances : —Matthew Saville deposed that he was a gardener , and lodged in deceased ' s house . On the previous afternoon , about three o'clock , witness asked deceased if he would go out for a walk ; to which deceased replied " not then , as he was having a few words with his wife ; but if witness would go and wait for him at the Phoenix
public-house , Harrow-street , he would come to him . " Witness accordingly went to the Phoenix , and , in a few minutes , was joined by deceased , who , on entering , said , * I ' m dying for half a pint of beer . " Witness called for half a pint , and deceased having draijk it observed , " I shan ' t be tea minutes before I'm back , " and immediately left the house . Witness saw him no more alive . In the morning of th * same day deceased told witness that he meant to kill his wife before night . His wifo was then present , and hearing what he said , observed , " You ' ve not pluck enough . " Witness had no idaa , that ho intended carrying his threat into effect . Deceased did not appear to him to know what he was about half his time , and during the last fortnight had repeatedly
got out of bed in the middle of the uight and walked out into the street . He had lately neglected his business , and told witness that his mind was so hurt he could not attend to it . Deceased , some timo ago , joined the Teetotallers' Society , but on Tuesday last broke the pledge , and got drunk . He had since drank a good deal , but noc ( o excess . He was not drunk on Thursday . Henry Scales , an omnibus driver , residing in the neighbourhood , stated that about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon , hearing screams and cries of murder proceeding from deceased's house , he went there , and finding tho door of the shop locked , forced it open . Ou entering the parlour he saw the deceased lying on his face on the floor , deluged in blood , issuing from a fughiful wound in his throat , by which his bead was nearly severed from his body . In another part of the room lay deceased ' s wife , covered with blood . She was insensible , and witness piact-d her in a , chair ,
expectiDg her momentarily to die iu his arms . Other assistance arriving , Mr . Lerew , surgeon , was sent for , who pronounced deceased to be dead ; and , from the nature of the wound , expressed his belief that death was instantaneous . Mrs . Sears was found to have received three severe wounds on the head , inflicted with a poker , which had caused concussion of the brais . It further appeared that deceased , who was a very passionate man , was jealous of his wife , not without cause , and six weeks ago attempted to strangle her , but her cries bringing the police to her aid , he assaulted them , for which he was taken before the magistrates at Marylebone Police-office , and ifined £ 5 . He had subsequently sworn never to lay violent hands upon her . Deceased ' s wife was stated to be in great danger and not expected to recover . The Coroner having summed up , the jury returned a verdict of" Temporary insanity . "

NEWPORT , ISLE OF WIGHT . —On Thursday evening , June Jrd , the Whigs of this place held a meeting of tke electors , to choose some person to stand for the borough , instead of hawking the government back , who has bad two or three publio notices to quit . Their choice fell on Thomas Gisborue , Esq . who is stated to have said he would go as far as any one would ahjw him the way in the extension ef the suffrage ; this was thought not sufficiently explicit ; and a question was put as to bow far he went without any showing him the way ? when , after some hesitation , it came out he was a household suffrage man , and was for no property qualification of members . These were the two great hooks that were to link the * Chartists to the Whig car , to carry this substitution ( for a man who
would rise in spite of himself ) to the arena of humbug . It was no go . Just as the sapients were bringing their abortion of a meeting to a close , in walked a bill-distributor , handing , with much coolness , among the concoctors of the meeting , a placard announcing that Doctor M'Douall would deliver a political address at the Grapes' Tavern , on the morrow evening . From the lengthening out of their faces , it might have been thought that tke Doctor ' s name had communicated an Indian-rubber quality to their phizogs . —The morrow came , when the Doctor , to a densely crowded audience , poured forth in thrilling eloquence , for an hour aud a half , such clear explanations of , and such cogent reasons for , the glorious Charter—demolishing with giant ease the triune humbug clap-trap of the base , brutal , and bloody faction , who are now seeking popularity
with those they have so cruelly victimized—that the room echoed with the repeated cheers of the blistered hands . The leaders of the Whigs were present ; while some sat with a deep and sullen scowl on their faces , others writhed and twisted in perfect misery , under the merciless lashings of the lecturer , bat many more acknowledged the truth of his arguments , and frequently gave proof that the power of truth will rise above prejudice and make even a Whig acknowledge a Chartist as a very clever man . —Previous to the commencement , our worthy Chairman , a working man , stated that any person would be at liberty to put any question to the Doctor , or eater Into & discussion with him at the eonelusion of the address , and at the conclusion the same
sUtemeat was made ; although the tliU of the Whigs were present , bo one showed fight—Saturday bad scarcely dawned wbea the courage of the Whigs began to lisa , aad with it their old practice of lying and » landering . One said the address was all lies ; another that he csuld answer every part ot it ; no doubt , thinking the Doctor would leave , and that they should have it all their own way . Tho Doctor heard of it and sent them a challenge to meet them in the Lecture Boom , to discuss the topics of the address . They took an hour to consider of it , and then sent a note declining the contest Hurrah for the Charter , Uuiversal Suffrage , and no humbug !—The Doctor . and bis friends met in the Lecture Boom in the evening , when the Doctor , in a

soul-stirring address , gave the factions such a dressing as will stick to them for some time to come . Many , who could hear his first address , thus hod an opportunity of hearing him . The impression made is deep , and will be lasting , for truth Shall prevail . —Monday , the Doctor proceeded to Portsmouth , to sow more seed and water that already growing . —Correspondent . DEPTTORB . —At the weekly meeting held on Sunday , the business was chiefly that of appointing a sub-Treasurer . Mr . Morgan was proposed by Mr . O'Bryan , and seconded by Mr . Jenner , and carried . It was resolved " That Mr . Stall wood be desired to attend to lecture on Sunday evening next , &t six o ' clock , and Mr . Rose ( if iu town ) be requested to attend to assist tho meeting , The meeting-house to be converted into a reading-room upon Wednesday afternoons ; and that no books be read but those that will further the people in political knowledge , and assist the Chartists .

MIDDLESEX . —At a special general meeting of the Middlesex County Council , held on Sunday , June the 6 th , at Lant's Coffee House , Clerkenwell Green , Mr . Ford in the chulr ; it was moved by Mr . Fussell , seconded by Mr . Hyatt , and carried unanimously , " That Messrs . Slanders , Wheeler , FusseU , Andrews , and Mills be appointed a committee to draw up a plan for the batter organisation of the metropolis , and to take such other steps ( not interfering with the prerogative of the Executive ) as may be most expedient to ensure the speedy and triumphant attainment of the glorious principles contained in the People ' s Charter ; the Committee invite the co-operation of any persons who may feel interested in the attainment of this grand object They will meet at present on Thursday evening , at the Dispatch Coffee Booms , Bride-lane " Moved by Mr . Hogg , seconded by Mr . Saunders , and carried , " Tbat the County Council meet in future on
Sunday afternoons , at three o'clock , at the late Convention Booms , No . 55 , Old Bailey . " Moved by Mr . Hogg , seconded by Mr .

P , having presented the Council with a quantity of pamphlets , containing his speech on the 17 th of May , 1841 , the Secretary was instructed to convey to him the thanks of the Council for the presentation of the same . After the transaction of a variety of other business connected with the settlement of the late Crown aud Anchor meeting , nnd the London Delegate Fund , the Council adjourned till Sunday , June the 13 lh , at 55 , Old Bailey .
NORTHAMPTON . —CUARTI 3 T TOTAL ABSTINENCE . —On Wedreaday evening , June 2 nd , at the Town Hall , tho Rov . J . Jenkinson delivered an excellent lecture on the above subject to a very attentive audience , amongst whom a very great interest was excited , which manifested itself by frequent cheering during the lecture ; and that much good was done we have no doubt , for many , who before had imbibed the prevalent notion that the Chartists ore a wicked set , now declare that they believe the Chartists are right , and that the Charter is founded on truth and justice . Eight persons have since token the pledge of the Assosociation , aud bo < loubt many more will shortly enrol themselves amongst us .
HKCKWONDWIKE . —At a recent meeting in Mr . Dobson ' s school-room , nt which Mr . Harney was to have been present , two members . of the association delivered two lectures .

Upon subjecting the opinions of both parties to the meeting , in the form of a motion , nearly the whole held up their hands for the latter , whilst only two htld up tiieir hands for the former .

DUTY OF THE PEOPLE AT THE COMING ELECTIONS . So ! the Tories have again triumphed ! the Whigs are once more defeated ! Peel ' s no confidence " resolution is carried ! Parliament must be—will be dissolved / What ' s to be done ? The answer is clear . Let the great principle of Universal Suffrage be practically asserted . How ? In every city , and borough , ( aud county where practicable , ) let the people select their man , or men , qualified to sit—making the following the te 9 t of principles : —
The Charter—That is , Universal Suffrage , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification , Equal Representation , and Vote by Ballot . The immediate liberation and restoration of all political prisoners and exiles . The total Repeal of the English New Poor Law , and the veritable amendment of the Scottish laws for the relief of the poor . A Ten-Hours' Bill , and a complete reform of the child slaying factory system . The annihilation of the rural polico , aud the placing of town and borough police under the controul of the inhabitants . The repeal of all laws and taxes fettering the press ..
Chartists 1 the man who will vote for , and do his utmost to accomplish the foregoing list of reformshe is your man ! Wherever , by splitting with the Whigs , you can return your man , do so . Wherever , by splitting with the Tories , you can return jour man , do so . But where you cannot find a qualified person to start as your candidate , or where , owing to your poverty , you dare not risk the expenses of a contest , what is then to bo done \
Do what you wore told to do seven years ago by Brontebbe . Do what Feabgus O'Connor has laboured to impress you with the necessity of doing . Have your candidates ; elect them by show of hands , as your veritable representatives ; and leave to God and your own resolute hearts the future . Remember you will get the Charter when you can take it , not before ! The recent decision of Baron Abi . vgeb in the case , Muntz v . Stwhge , shows that the " respectables" cannot compel you to pay any portion of the expense of hustings , &c , provided you withdraw your man , or meu , upon the show of hands having been taken .
But where will you find your men ] Nearly every locality has its leaders ( to say nothing of the " tramping demagogues ";) select ye the honest and best talented . Let integrity be the first qualification—ability the second . A word or two on " the men ;"—Glasgow has Mom , aud a host of others ; Dundee has honest John Duncan—and John must stand on the hustings to batter Paenell . Let Loweuy tackle Her Majesty ' s " devil , " " plain Sir John , " and give the
Whigs of " Auld Reekie" their dressing ! John M'Crae is just the man for the " Paisley bodies ;'* let John be there . By all means , some " fellow of the right sort" should be at Greenock to unmask that two-faced humbug that in his odious carcase desecrates the name of Wallace : and wherever that incarnation of all rascality , Fox Maule , shalj daro to shew his villain ' s face , there let Abrah Duncan be to maule the reptile . No man iu Scotland is so well fitted as Ajjkam for the work .
What are the friends in Newcastle-upon-Tyne about I Let Mason and Byrne go to work ! What are the " whole hog" friends of South Shields doing * ( O J for a shy at Jnoham I ) And ye lads of " canny Carlisle , " no time is to be lost ! come Arthur , Bowman , up ! and down with the Whigs ! You must have your Universal Suffrage man ( or men ) for the city ; aud for the county too ! remember you have YVigton and Dalston to back you . Men of Sunderlaud , ye have the gallant enthusiast , George Binns ( Williams is eugaged elsewhere ) . York , be mindful , and do your duty ! Leeds , many thanks to you for your noble choice . God pity poor "brown bread" Joe , when honest Leech gets him within his iron grip . Williams , too , does honour to your
choice . He is quite up to the mark ! Agaia we thank you , men of Leeds ! Ye have selected men of talent—men whose integrity equals their abilitieswhose incorruptibility of heart is as well known as their splendid acquirements of mind . Bradford , we know , will do its duty ; here the principle of Universal Suifr&KO will be asserted . Halifax , too , is safe . What ' a Huddersfield doing ! Ye hare a noble choice , men of Hudderafield ; an absent , or a present friend—your " good old King" Oastleb , or PitkethlV , both sworn foes of Whiggery . By all means Pitkethly should be started somewhere and carried ! Men of Bolton , je have Richaed Marsden , than whom a more honest man , or sterling patriot treads not God ' s earth ; he is truly the representative of the band-loom wearers ; let himS

in Heaven's name let him ,: In the teeth of the plunderers , plead for his suffering order ! Will Preston , do nothing \ Is Henry Hunt forgotten ? Men of Manchester and Salford , shew that you are not to be bludgeoned into slavish submission—return blow for blow ! Out ! out ! out ! with the " bloody Whigs ! " ¦ . . ' Oldham will return its present m « mber 3 . Shabman Crawford is sure to go for Rochdale .
Now , meu of Birmingham , give tho sham-Radicals a lift . Surely you may find your men . Nottingham , glorious Nottingham , must agaia return Walter , not as a Tory , but as an enemy of the Whigs ! but Nottingham must have its Universal Suffrage man too—there is Sweet , Black , and a number more all good and true , £ t , well fit to scourge that unblushing renegade Hobuouse I There is Cooper , too , for Leicester .
And men of Northampton you have mado a glorious choice ! hurrah for M'Douall ! on the hustings he must be ; elected by shovr of hands he must be ; and returned by voters , if possible , he must be ! Never mind by what means ; unite with the devil himself to get the " Republican Doctor" into the tax-trap , thereto physic the rats of corruption ! In the South and South West , the Isle of Wight , Brighton , Bath and Stroud , should be-made battleground . In Brighton , there are able men ; in Bath , Philp is tho man . If " Finality , " the destroyer of Frost shall appear at Stroud , Vincent must be there !
O'Brien must not bo forgottsn ! as the great instructor of the ^ people , tho untiring advocate of Universal Suffrage his claims upon your suffrages equal those of any man ! let the Isle of Wight , Brighton , or Newcastle-upon-Tyne say which is to have the honour of . his return—for returned he must be by Universal-Suffrage ; and if hiB friends do their duty ho may be actually returned by ten pound voters for the Isle of Wight . Let us also in conclusion mention the names of Villieks Sankey ( now ) of London , and Butterworth of Manchester ; men whose integrity and talent should be called into requisition at this crisis .
