      BI 1 STOK . —On Thursday evening last , " Mr . Mason lectured here to a numerous assembly . The large room at the Ball-court was fined te suffocation , and themselves were unable to gain entrance . The multitude tc . s so great outside , that it was fcnnd necessary to adjoru-n to an open sptce of gronnd adjoining the Miriet-place , where Mi . Mason delivered the m « t splendid lecture ever heard in Bilston . Amongst the assembled multitude were many of the Whig and Tory gentry , several of whom were candid enough to admit the truth of Mr . Mason ' s principle * , " and

      acknowledged the present political system to-be a bad one , and oppressive to the working class . The principlei of the Charter are taking such deep root here , that it will never ba in the power of Whig or Tory te . preyeDt ths spread of Chartism . Publicans who were afraid to admit Chartists into their houses six months ago , are now offering their best rooms for the accommodation of our meetings . Some of our active members have commenced to agitate the villages roucd the . town , and have succeeded in planting the Charter in Ssdgely , Brvierv , and Hall Green , where we expect soon tohav * an increase of inerabtra .

      IjOUGHBOROUGH . The adjourned delegate » eeung "was held on Sunday , Mr . Evelieghin the chair . The stcrstary read over the minutes of the last meeting , which were confirmed .

Smith , of Normanton , said in his district they were not many in number , but they had disturbed the parson and Ms nock , for a short time ago they held , a meeting out of doors , and adjourned it for a week . In themes time a notice was served on all the special constables in the neighbourhood , and a blue bottle was also in attendance , but they fesred neither . They wished to have a lecturer tbU could speak well , as they felt confident it would do good . Mi Marshall , of East Leak , said if a lecturer could come over to Leak he believed it would eause many to join them . Mr . Mariot , of Hathern ,

      said they had been trying to get a , lecturer for a day from Leicester , but they did not succeed , bnt if one could be engaged for a short time for the district , it would be a great deal better , as there were some places that had not come forward at all yet Mr . ilariot , of Derby , being present , the Chairman asked hint if he eould gire any information respecting Mr . Bairstow ' s visit to Leicester , when he gave every information requisite , aad it was considered that Mi . Bairstow had p . ' scty of -work round Leicester . Mr . Dean Taylor was elecifcd for one fortnight if Nottingham could spare him for that time , and the secretary was instructed to write to tke secretary at Nottingham on the abject . Ths secretaries in the villages are requested to end an account of whsl they can be answerable . for toward * defraying the expencas of the lectors on Saturday next .

Monday night , when a deputation was appointed to wait on the proprietor of the Meatpelier Tavern , Walwotth , to make ? rrangemenfcs for tfce use of a more commodious room , the present place of meeting being much too small for this increasing locality . The deputation was respectfully received by the worthy Hastess , who expressed her admiration of the well-eonducted meeting held there , to welcome the brave champion of the People ' s CbaTter , F .

      sentence . After the cheering had subsided , he said that on Friday eveaing he was at the meeting at the Corn Exchange , and addressed the people there ; and , not knowing that any one was to follow , he left ; and , strange to Fay , he saw in the Manchester Times report , that Mr . Watkins answered him in a very eloquent manner . He hoped , if any one had anything to sav , be would do eo before he left the room . He was open and willing to " meet the best Hian of the League , provided he came forward as their accredited agens . Mr . Finniexa then spoke but advanced nothing new . Mr . Vincent . replied . Mr . Finnigan again spoke , and Mr . Vincent rejoined . As our space will not admit of giving both m full , we give neither . At the conclusion of Mr . Kuina ' g list speechhe said that as the League

      , bad been challenged by Mr . Vincent , he , as the ageat , and on behalf of the Operative Assoeiatsoa , would Beet Mb in discussion .- ( Hear . ) Mr .

Warren entombed , the loeture which had been delivered , stating that he never beard the principles of the Charter better explained . Mr . Watts , a Social missionary , spoke next , showing that one did not oppose the other , and that the amendment and the resolution could be both passed without the least compromise of principle . At this all parties appeared to agree . Mr-Warren Baid there should be no division ; he was

      willing that both should be put as all were Chartists present . Mr . Jackson , after consulting Mr . Vincent , Baid that the mover and seconder were willing for both togo together . The resolution acknowledged the Charter to be- the right of the people , ana ought to be contended for ; and the other merely s&id that the Corn Laws were oppressive and unjust , which no one could deny .

      seconded by Leonard Haslop , " T . tat we , the inhabitants of Oldham , in public meeting assembled , after having maturely taken into consideration the information , indictment , and conviction ot James Dawson , of Lees , consider the whole case to be tyrannical , unjust , and contrary to the spirit of the British constitution , and cannot bat view the conduct of the party who instigated the proceedings in any other light than that of a biggotted partisanship , throwing alike disgrace upon the character of the magistrate , and the sanctity of the clergyman , and this case offers another proof of the necessity of not only having the power to elect the Members of Parliament , bat also to have ail the magistrates under the controul of the whole people . '' Moved by R . Haslani , and seconded by W . Hamer : — " That we are determined to use every effort in our

      Glorious Triumph Of The Chartists.

      GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS .

      Untitled Article

      PUBLIC MEETING CALLED BY THE LEEDS PARLIAMENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening , a public meeting , called by ths Leeds Reform Association ( o / ioa the Fox and Goose Club ) , was held in the large room of the Commercial Buildings , ostensibly to promote a union all classes of Reformers—really to gull the Chartists , if possible , by getting their assistance in pissing anti-Corn Law resolutions . The "lads , " however , were too far north , and though no effort was made to get them together , ihey assembled in full force , npset the " Antis , " and passed a resolution in favour of the whole Charter . Many high sounding names were put forth by the promoters of the meeting , and amonsjst the rest Col . Thompson , Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P ., a Mr . C . J . SymouB , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . But all would not do . u Othello ' s occupation's gone 1 " The room wa 3 orowded to excess . Mr . James Gabth Mabshall , the President of the Association , was called to the chair .

      The Chairman said the meeting had been convened by the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association for the purpose of affording an opportunity to a few friends ef the principles of free trade , and of the extension of the suffrage , of addressing them on some important points , with respect to the best means of forwarding the principles of Reform . The object , he believed , was to lay before the meeting a statement of the real position of the people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrying into effect measures of Reform , and particularly to draw attention to the necessity for a cordial union of all classes of reformers . After some other explanatory observations , he said he would not detain them longer than to make an apology for Mr . Roebuck , who was

      prevented by indisposition from attending . ( Cries ' of" Ho dare not come f " no s a traitor ; " " why ' did be run away on Sharman Crawford ' s motion ? ' ; Col . Thompson having been called upon by the Chairman , ihen rose to addresa the meeting , and was received with cheers . He said as they had placed him in front he would briefly state his opinions . Ho suspected that there was not one mau in ten in that meeting who did cot agree ia the proposition , that the defects in the representation of the people , were the sources of the evils under which the country was suffering . He did not mean that they were the cause of men slipping down in the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable evil * . He then went to show what constituted a Government , which ho contended ought to rest solely on the representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , and not merely for the happiness of a select few . All

      classes were called npon to support the Government , and to obey the laws of the country ; all clashes , therefore , ought to have an equal power in the making of the law * . As a protection in the exercise of this power , th « few sman ought to have the Ballot , ( hat he aught exercise his power in an independent manner . Th » aristocracy , m all their transactions , were « arefol fcr themselves , bnt when the people asked for the same protection , it was denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merchant and mannfaetmrer had , and ought to have , considerable inftueaee over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bnlk of the people should hare none at all . It was like a joint stock company ; different members might have different proportions of th » res in it , bat be thought no one ever heard of a joint stock company where the shares of some of the company were nothing . ( . Hear , hear . ) He thought all would

      Untitled Article

      agree that the representation wanted amending , and he advised them not to think it vas-a hopeless business , which it might bff , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who saw the necessity of a change , and he exhorted them sot to refuse the assistance , of such men , bat to go oa with those , who .. would S [ o on with them . One result of deective representation was the restriction upon industry , which amounted to the demand of a greater amount of the time and labour of the operative for a gives quantity of food , to . those who had that food at their disposal . Ho stood there the advocate for improvement in the representation . ( Load cheers . ) He Knew no man who had gone further than he had done . ( Continued cheer a ) There was

      a document called the Charter , which he believed to be nothing bnt a fair embodiment of those principles of justice for whioh great and good men in these latter times had fought and contested . ( Prolonged cheering ) It contained , he believed , five points , which were agreed on before the document was drawn fap . It was his good fortune to be one of eight or ten members of Parliament concerned in drawing up that document . ( Cheers . ) He bad never denied it—he bad never shrunk from it—he had never disavowed the name , and never been afraid to be called a Chartist . ( Hear , hear , and cries of ** Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) But there was a difference of opinion concerning tho way in which that Charter should bo advocated . They were told there

      waa only one Charter , only one Chartism , aud only one way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of " That ' s true . ") He did not think that those who held that opinion would be able to prevent a large body o ! men from takiug another way with respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to gain the Charter was by uniting on those great and pressing evils with the numbers of potrerfui men who were wiping to go with them . ( Hear . ) Ho did not ask any man or body of men to give up their own objects . What he wanted to submit to that meeting was , whether it would not be beat on the whole , admitting differences of opinion , but not quarrelling about them , to let each go his own way , if he oould , and wolcome . ( Hear , hear . ) Why should not one party say to another , if you can put down or make an

      impression on the evil , in God ' s name go on . If wo can put down or make an impression oa the evil , in God ' s name do not hinder us . ( Cheers . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the proposal which he came to make . He left it for them to consider whether thero was not something like rational sense and good reason in it , and whether there were not mauy of them who would not be inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommended . ( The Colonel Eat down with applause . ) Mr . Hamer Stansfkld , in moving the first resolution , said ho would not detain them long ; his health would not permit him to address them . He hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , iu promoting that union which was bo desirable . The resolution was— That this

      meeting news the defective state of the representation as ths source of the suffering under which the country labours . " Mr . Johk Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Jelunoeb Symonds supported the resolution . He believed there was no safety in this country , nor any chance of restoring the national prosperity , without the people were invested with a full and fair % hare in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) The landowners had returned tho present House ot Commons , and so long as they were permitted to have a monopoly in the legislation , so long would the interests of the people be sacrificed to the cupidity of a wealthy and selfish aristocraoy . If , however , the working classes expected to have their grievances redressed , they must be united among themselves .

      Union was strength—division was weakness . He had lately visited Swhiiiland , where the representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was iu full operation , and at the same time , thero was the most cordial union between masters and men . This state of thiugs waa productive of tho greatest possible benefit to the ceuntry , and he did not believe there was a more prosperous people to be iound than those of Switzsrland , where , it should be borne in mind , Universal Suffrage was the law of tho land . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho speaker , after thus paving the way , went to the question of the Corn Law .-, making it evident that ho had received a retaining fee on that point . He was of opinion that machinery did not injure the working man ; ho got , however , some pretty intelligible hints that working men did not agree with him .

      The Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting , and it was carried with one dissentient . Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows : — That the confiscation of the property of the industrious classes , inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is the most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , aud various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuistical nature of the proceedings , and it was at oiica determined that , as the League had thus

      attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in resolution 1 , the meeting would endeavour to bring them back to the teal question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He contended that the Corn Laws wero really one of the greatest M practical ' grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called himself Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by the Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was the results ot the Cora Laws , the landlords secured to themselves the monopoly of law-making .

      Mr . Nicholls , » n operatiye , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Goose Club , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Joseph Lkks replied to the " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised he had not exhibited more practice in his resolution . The first resolution admitted that the source of all the e » Us of the country was iu de ective representation , and had Dr . Smiles been a practical man , aa he professed to be , he wonld have at once , after the source had been admitted , have come boldly ont with the remedy . ( Cheers . ) It was of no use endeavouring to lop off only a defective branch ; they must go at once to the root , as the only practical means of remedy . He was a Chartist reot and

      branch—( shouts of" Bravo , lad , go on , )—and theugh he had Dot hitherto publicly advocated the Charter , yet his opinions were so well known as not te be misunderstood . ( Great cheers . ) They had seen the Corn Law agitation commenced two years ago , and commmenced just at the time when the Charter was about to take its Winning and widening way in the country . ( Loud cheers . ) There were very great snspicionsat the time whether the Corn La « r agitation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise . ( Loud cries of " No , no , " from the Foxes . ) Now , after two years of agitation , where wero they 1 If they had supported the Charter for that time , would Peel have dared to dismiss the Parliament for fivo mouths . ( Shouts of " No , no , " and loud cheers .

      With such a union of agitation they might have had an arn . y that neithtr Whigs nor Tories could have stood against . ( Tremendous cheeriDg . ) That meeti » g ought to consider in what way they could best obtain their rights . They had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found it would not answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not oome to the Chartists , because they would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick at , they should say , at once , this association will go the whole length as a Chartist Association . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He concluded by moving " That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Charter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , and threw the whole " League " nearly into convulsions . )

      Mr . Andrew Gakdneb wa ? received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motion , said he thought the storm had new commenced , but , whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoped every man woald be allowed a . fair hearing , 'f hi 3 was the second act of the Marshall's mill meeting ; that was pot up to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought he could wheedle the Chartists well ; with only two exceptions , every speaker then present avowed themselves for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to unite the middle and lower classes . ( Hear , hear . ) Had the HoHsehold Suffrago succeeded ? ( Shouts of No , no . ")

      Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back ! Why did not their Association come out at once for the whple Charter ! Why should not they all unite on an equality of rights ? ( Great cheering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but denied the jpraticability of gettiag it . ( Cries of We can get it . }>) He Baid it was possible to get it , but they would get nothing less than the Charter , because the Chartists wonld not agitate for any mortal thing lesa than the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the best man amongst the middle classes , and he believed no one had been worse treated by the Whin P * rty than Colonel Thompson had been . He had avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he wonld abide bv it . f Hear .

      hear , and cheers . ) There was w » gentleman who should have been there , who was sot there . Where was Mr . Roebuck I ( Ch eer * , » proar , and cries of u He dare not come 1 ") He was a Universal Suffrage man , aud he had acted a very treasonable part against the people . He thought he was afraid to come , something like another of their friends , he meant Dan . ( Loud shouts of " No , no . " ) He ought to make a tour through the country , and submit his conduct to a voto of censare or of . thanks in every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither Whigs nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . ) If the Reform Association were sincere in their object of union , let them lay down a good basis of union on which the Chartists oould stand as well aa them-

Curtis ; who , we understand is from Ohio , ihen stood forward and made a long speech , which had ; scaraely a reportable point in it . It is not known where the League have got hold of him . We " calculate" he wants to travel at ati easy rate to himself through England , and has found the League sufficiently gullibie to pay his expences . He came out , at the close of his , address , with an exhortation

      to temperance . ,, ' - ' Mr . WestlaKE ( a Chartist / was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis . Mr . R . i F . Lees said , they wero met there that night , not to speak as to particular grievances , but to ask on what principles they were to unite in order to get all their wrongs redressed . ( Loud cheers ) What said Col . Thompson 1 He said that , because the . manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of the aristocracy , were Buffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object of resolution second ? To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he would ask , when those laws were destroyed , did not the interest of tho manufacturing aristocrats cease to be identified with their interests \ ( Loud

      cheers . ) Then he Would ask them , calmly , and seriously , what pledge had they , when the Corn Lawa were destroyed and tho pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objects ? ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen 1 aud he wa . s afraid that Echo would answer , Where . ' ( Laughter . ) That waa a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and they severed the principle of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked them to give their voices , and declare in Court and Parliament that the great practical grievance was the Corn Laws . Their reply wa 9 , Give us our

      rights , our votes , aud we will destroy thai aud every other grievance . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) If they were rational enough to give their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repeated cheers . ) Though they might assist them to destroy the Corn Laws in two or three years , when that was done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Curtis said the instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Corn Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when the greatest of praotioal grievances was perpetrated without it 1 He was a thoroughgoing Radical , a Chartist , if they liked the name . He

      was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Chritt , and he maintained that the practical axiom of all lite was " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud cheers . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from tho powerful aristocracy of the country , a repeal of the Corn Laws , which raised the rents , which Bupplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Mr . Thos . Plint rose under greatly oxcited feelings , and first endeavoured to bully , then to coax tho meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst threat interruption , and mado a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chairman then put the amendment and the original resolution to the meeting , when there was a tremendous majority in favour of the amendment .

      This , however , did not satisfy the " League , " and a proposition was made that the two parties should divide themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room to the tight of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This was acceded to after some demur , and the two parties having taken their respective positions , the number in favour of the amendment appeared to be more than four to one as compared with those in favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Chairn > au , however , when he had got the meeting divided , again went through the ceremony of taking a show of hand ? , arid this having satisfied him , he declared the amendment carried . ,

      Thi 3 announcement was received with tremendous cheering , clapping of hands , < fcc , which lasted fur some minutes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . " Dr . Smiles then moved , and Mr . Andrew Gardener seconded , a vote of thanks to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been given for O ' Connor , for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o'clock .
