*• That it isWopMbn of ' thU nreetfcg , after taking into consideration the ' strike at the House of Lords , and « onsiderhu ~ the result which might happen to them as intfiridnsls in a similar situation , that it is advisable to form a Sodety for mutual protection against similar proawWfpga in future . " ~ tMr . HaRILST , Mr . Thomas Jackson ' j , Pimlieo , mocoTxd&d tbe peaoiaUon . ¦ A person ht * & expressed 4 hop « thai tbsj did not ¦ ns to interfere between tb * masters and men now on fcnke . . " .-., ; . Mr . Cxkso ^ said they had no inteation of doing so . TChe " gauntlet iriB thrown down , aad . 1 st them fight it out ; but men had Societies , masters had Societies , and he Wanted one for foremen ; for if this spirit spread , it would be necessary .
Mi . . I na- ?» a ¦ parly of men from the House of Lords working for me . There is flot one bat what does his duty . I behaye well to them , and they to me . I mate my eye scrte ~ instead of my tongue . I have known Allen fox years , mad I know nothing Bs&inst b ? p ) bat hh temper . It is my oplnioa if a foreman is" just to the men , they will be just to the master . Mr . Cobswkll , Mr . Cubitt ' s , said—I hare ho objection to form a Society for our . own protection ; bat I dnnot Tote for the . resolntion . It defends the condnct of AUen . The rooTtr of it says , that from all he had heard or read , AUen had » 4 «" " itW h 1 nm » lf more than be had . I cannot agree with this . ' I employ ai&ny of tbe men , and hare full justice done me . It eoald not be supposed that these men struck against
AUen for fun ; that they an « m ( Tnnng hardships and priY&ilon merely for the excitement of a strike . I aannot Tnte for tha resolution . Our situations may not last for erer ; we may onrselTes be placed in a simUar positian , snd be compelled to act as tkey hare done . I am acquainted with a foreman on the same job as AQen , at the same pl&ee ; and I asked bis candid opinion on the strike . He said there was so question «¦ to their being perfectly justified in striking against him ; they would nerer hi Ye done it if Allen had condaeted himself as a man ought to do . ( " Name . " ) It would isjore him , snd he would not giro it . Allen -did not deserre the support of the mefiting ; the masons bad always acted respectfully to him , aad if he did not approTo of their conduct he should discharge and sot blackguard them .
Mr . J . Kat said he had no objection to forming a aodety for mutual protection : it was as necessary for their Tjroteetian from the employers as from the men ; bat he screed with the last speaker that thej slioold keep aloof from tbe strike . He w sore no one in the room could justify the conduct of Allen . If he bvi fifty hands he would bold them up against the resolution as it was now worded . The name of Allen would be no credit to them . If the men were treated as men , they trould do a fair day ' s work . A s ' Tong feeling , on the part of tbe majority , being erineed in f&Teui of the masons on strike , two or three Mt the room .
Mr . Gissox was rery willing to alter the resolution . Perhaps it might be more sdruable to put it off to some other time . He had fallen int * an error in wording it ; but he was glad to be put right Itmigbtseeza fchst tbe meeting , at this particular time , intended to upport Mr . Allen . ; but he begged to deny haTing any such intention . He only wanted to form a Society for their mutual benefit . He disclaimed the conduct attributed to George Allen from bis heart ' s core . He would kick such a man ; it is a dreadful doom , though not more than he deserred . He would withdraw the former resolution , and propose this : — " Ta&t , in the opinion of this meeting , it is desirable to form a Society of foremen in the building trades , for "intna . 1 protection . *' Mr . Djlbell seconded the resolution .
Mr . Pddnbt—They bad a society fif » yean aro for a similar purpose ; he wanted to know their ulterior Tiews ; did they mean to build almshonses , or was it to be a society of foremen to crush the working men ? He had been thirty-four years a foreman at Curtis ' s , and nrrer used a man as AUen has dona . Mr . Kat—I highly praise tbe conduct of Mr . Carson in altering Ms motion ; but owing to the excitement at present existing , I shall propose as an amendment , that this " question be postponed to this day three months ;" and 1 well know we shall then hare a better attendance of foremen than we no 1 have . Public sympathy was so in farour with the masons , that many foremen who might be farourabte to it , would not attend this craning , as it looked suspicious whether the object was not to oppose the men on strike .
Mr . Bor&ir seconded the amendment ; he was not opposed to such a society . Men who b&d been long employed as foramen did not make good journeymen ; bat the present was a Tery ill-advised time to commence it ; he had twenty-four of tbe masons on strike in his employ at the Temple Church , and they had done justice by him and to bis employer ; tbe men could not all be wrong , sad Allen right . The Cbai&xas suggested that if some specific date wss not mentioned , it would seem to- be postponed tim dU , and suggested 31 st of January . Mr . Kat haTing agreed to this , the amendment was pot and supported by thirty-wren xotes ; the original motion only receiving four rotes . Mr . Kewtox mored that tha aodety be called a benefit society , bat it was neeatired .
Mr . Whesxze hiring undertaken to get it inserted as news in the Dispatch , it was reaolred that the resolution should be adrertised in tbe Morning Advertiser . Mr . > 'e-wtok mored that a committee of flye be appointed to carry out the object of the meeting , and call a public meeting on the 31 st January . Mr . Kat seconded the motion , which wss unanimously earned , and ten persons nominated , out of whom Messrs . Kay , Iioek , Cornwall , Jenkins , snd Canon wen eleeUd , and wan allowed to add four more to their number . The Reportbb from the Morning Jdverfimr having entered the room , requested to address the meeting . This being acceded to , he in a rambling "»""»* showed them the claims the Advertiser hid upon them fer aapport
Mr . Whbrleb . ( Reporter for-the' Star ) replied to him in an efieetire manner , and also gsre the gentlemen present some hard rubs respecting the meeting , onbastiag it with that held by the journeymen . Mr Wheeler was greeted with much- applause . Tbe meeting than adjourned until the Slst ot January . tJ .

BiaMINGHAM . PUBLIC MEETING OF TRADES' pELE ; Ga ! E | S AND OTHERS . ,: ' STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PABLIA
•¦ ¦¦'¦ ' ¦ - ' ;• '¦ ; '> MENT . ¦ '•¦• \ - - '¦ _ A 11 important meeting of delegates from- the various trades in ^ Birmingham , and other parties favourable to the strike of the London Stonemasons , was held at the Grand Turk , Bell-street , on VVed » nesday evening last . At half-past eight the business commenced . . , . ' Mr . John Roddie , BtonemaBOH , was unanimously called to the chair . He addressed the meetipg in the following terms : —Gentlemen and Fellow-workmen , it fs with great diffidence I take the chair on this important occasion , particularly ad 1 am not in the habit of addressing public meetings . I have no doubt that my labours will be light , and that each speaker will obtain a fair and impartial bearing . 1
will not trespass further on your time , bat call upon Mr . John Gray to address you on the facts connected with the Btrike of the London masons . Mr . Gbat commenced his address by reading a oircular , a copy of which had been sent to the various trades in Birmingham , and which set forth some of tbe leading reasons why the London stonemasons struck against the tyrannical conduct of Allen , the tyrannical tool of Messrs . Grisaell and Peto , the contractors for buiWing the new Houses of : Parliament . He then said he had no doubt bat most of the persons present had beard tell of the strike of the stonemasons at the new Houses of Parliament ; but aa they all might not be awaro of the facts connected with , it , he would endeavour U » explain them .
He would commence by describing the conduct of the foreman , whose inhuman tyranny the men felt bound to resist . One ot their shopmates received intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother ; he informed Mr . Allen of his wish to go and see her interred , and wished to have a week or fortnight ' s leave of absence . Allen informed him that if such was tbe c » : e , he might stop away altogether , as he Would not keep a job open for any man that length of time . Another of the men had tho misfortune to break bis leg , by a fall from a scaffold ; and on his return to work , thought , of course , that no objootion would be offered , aa he had been lamed in the service of his employers . Allen immediately discharged him , saying that he wanted no such
damned hobbling fellows there . The 6 ame foreman had told another of the workmen who had been at home ill for some time , and whose wife was also in the same condition at the time , that he did not want men there of his description . Another of the men had been called from his work to attend the death-bed of his wife , and when he returned , he was lold by this monster to go back and die with her and be damned . Another , who had been a long time out of employ , and bad been so pinched in consequence , happened to fall sick and staid at home three days ; when he returned , Allen told him he wanted no such men as him—lie must hare sound men . Those were the chief reasons why they had determined to strike against him . The men employed at
Woolwich Dock and Nelson's Monument , had struck for the same reason . Mr . Grissell had promised * deputation , that if the charges brought against Allen were true ho would discharge him ; and when another deputation waited on him , he denied havipg said so , and told them that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to speak to them . He would leave the meeting to judge whether such conduct ought to be tolerated by the trades of London and Birmingham . ( No , no . ) He would now retire , having stated the essential points of the case , Mr . Gray then resumed his seat amid general applause . Mr . Peter Bishop , saddler , next addressed the meeting . He said , although he was not connected with tho stonemasons , yet he sympathised
with them and would yield them all the assistance in his power . From what he could gather from the Northern Slar ^ he understood that Alien had formerly been connected with the Trades' Union , had been very efficient , and acted his part well , and that he had been well backed by the stonemasons for so doing . His efficiency in this respect , no doubt , marked him out asaprizeable objeot to the masters , for at he knew so well how trade affairs were conduoted , he would be the better enabled to practice tyranny on his fellow workmen . He considered the stonemasons perfectly justified in the steps which they had taken , and would endeavour to induce his fellow-workmen to assist them , especially as he considered theirs to be a strike on principle ,
and not for an advancement of wages , for he had long seen through the inutihty of striking for wages . The working men produced all the wealth in the country , and ought at leaat to have a good living , and be treated as men . It was now quite . clear that no one trade conld sustain itself against the inroads of their masters . The men who earned thirty shillings per week ought to unite with those who had fifteeu , and then they would be enabled to effect something . It was that which caused him to admire the character of O'Connor , who often told them the folly of the man who earned 30 a . holding himself aloof from , and looking down on , the man who only got 15 * ., it was that feeling which made the masters take advantage of the men . He had himself
been offered situations over other men , but would never accept of them , for he knew that had he done so , he would be expected to act the part of a tyrant , towards them . He bad no wish to introduce party politics , but from the manner in which Mr . O'Connor had acted towards the working men , he thought him ^ worthy ot their esteem . He saw sufficient in the Star to convince him of Allen ' s infamy , and thought hanging too good for such conduct . He was sorry that the stonemasons' trade was ' such as would preclude the possibility of their setting « p trade for themselves , for on all strikes , no matter if they had ten thousand pounds of a fund to begin with , the masters knew that it would be exhausted at some time . He should like to see things bo managed , and such unity existing amongst the working men , that they should turn out one' day and set np for
themselves the next . He looked upon the system of u chasing " , made use of by some of the masons as an abominable system , for it was quite dear that there would always m « ome men more able than other ? . Haring said bo machi he would repeat hi * determination to do allfn hriipower to forward their interests , and would leave it to others to throw more light on fke mattor . Ha wished to know from the masons which plan they had adopted to carry their joint ^ ; . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦' ¦ ¦¦¦ . '¦ - - ¦ ¦ ¦ ' . " , ± ¦ : . < ¦ . "' . Mr . Thomas Skabubw , a stonemason , said that they allowed the men ten shillings a-weefc , and were under very beavy expences * besides . But tneyTioped to gain sufficient assistance from the other trades , which was the reason why they had ( Sailed the present meeting . / ' . . . ¦ . . ^_ . Mr .

. A Delegate from the mechanics said that he had been sent from that trade to inquire into the matter . They had no fund for supporting a strike , but would do what they could by voluntary contribution . His trade was very warm in the matter , and would assist , them . ¦ '"¦ .. , | •' , : . .

They were going to call a meeting , when he had no doubt they would come , to a satisfactory conclusion . - '¦ : ¦ . ... ' .- ' . , ¦ : A Delloatb from the Saddlers . ' Spciety stated that they would have a meeting on the following Tuesday , when he had no doubt they would give their assistance . .. . A Delegate from the bricklayers skated that they held a meeting every week , and would do what lay in their power .
A Delegate from the braziers said he was desired to inform them that thoy should have their support . They considered it to be a strike on principle . He thought it a proof that the masons had some moral feeling about them , by not allowing themselves to be trampled on . They would receive the support of his iradei for tkafc reason . A Delegate from the silver-plate workers stated that he had no doubt this would be made a national case . He was very sorry to find the press so much opposed to them . Delegate meetings like the present are very useful , as they prove to the gentlemen of the so called Liberal press , that they would not be tolerated in blinking those questions where morality and justice were at stake . He then
animadverted on the unprincipled conduct of the Weekly Dispatch , and . said that the present meeting would show to those gentry that if justice was not done to the working men they had sufficient intellect and determination : to set up a press for themselves . ( Loud cheers . ) He then descanted on the conduct of the press generally towards the working classes and 6 howed their effect on those who trusted to their lyiug statements , and concluded by advising the working men to withdraw their support from all papers that did not fairly represent them . ¦ Mr . Gkobgb White then addressed the meeting . He considered as he had had a good deal of experience iu trades' unions and strikes , that a word or two from him would not be thought amiss . He was
not a believer in the doptrine so sedulously disseminated in trade societies , that they should exclude politios . He had seen a vast number of strikes and struggles between the masters and men of various trades ; but he found the , power and influence of capital , assisted by a corrupt Government , always sufficed to turn the scale against the working men . It was true that the workmen sometimes succeeded ; but as soon as the difficulty was over , they became apathetic , and in due time the employers pounced on them like a tiger , and completed their design . This meeting ought to be a lesson to the working classes , for as soon aa one trade found its utter incapability to defend itself from the tyranny of employers they uniformly
appealed for assistance to their fellow-workmen ; thus showing their true interests ; they found nobody else to assist them ; why then did they support and assist those parties who would not help them in their time of needl It was quite dear to every thinking man that the working classes would always be tyrannised over and tantalised by such men as Grissell , Peto , and others , until they got a voice in making laws which would protect them , and put a curb on the insolence of such arrogant scoundrels . One part of the charge against Grissell—and a tough grissel he thought he was —( laughter )—was , that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to talk te the men who had rais « d him to such dignity . The brute . Did he never reflect that workiug men
had feelings of respect for themselves , sufficient to compel them to resent such outrageous insolence ! He again repeated that nothing short of political equality could protect them from all the insulting taunts and oppressions of those who were allowed to rule over them . The working men themselves were to blame , for they had abundant means to remedy it . If a union of a few trades was good , what would not a union of the whole body of the working classes accomplish t Let them therefore scout the doctrine of non-interference in politics ; for did they not find politics interfering with them every moment of their lives I This Btrike of the stonemasons was truly emblematical of the state of thenation . Every
one knew th&t tho members of the present Houses of Parliament were a common nuisance , and the greatest curse the nation could endure ; and it was a fine prospect for the people when they heard that every stone of the new Houses was hewn and laid amidst the sighs , groans , and curses of the oppressed and Insulted workmen . He would , nevertheless , give hia most cordial assistance to the masons now on strike , and hoped that every man present would do the same , whether he waa a delegate or not . He then suggested various plans which should be adopted by the meeting ; and concluded amidst loud cheers . ; ¦ ¦ ., . Mr . BisHor then m « ved— ¦ -
*? That all the delegates present hand in their names " , and be consideroda part of the Committed' ' The motion was agreed to . ' A large iumber of delegate * then gave in their naBMB , togetbeiP wuh ^ s trade they wpreeented . Mr . Joh » WuAumtiilot fUi&te thought they ought to come ^ to » resolution oa the conduct of Gnawli « n 4 Pfljo , and thwr mberabJe tool Allen . He would , therefore , propose tho following ;—. ReBoIved , ^ That in the opinion of tWa meetiag the conduct of Mews . GrUsell and Peto is inconsistent with the character of upright men , by denying to one deputation the etatement which they had made toapaeviotts one , Md also for the insulting statement of ; Mr ^ G * isBeIl , that he considered ho nad " ojfftwd bis ^ ignity' by speaking to working men . We are also ot opinion that the stonemaeon » of London were not only justified in the course they have adopted , but they deserve the thanks of ever

TO THB PEOPLE OF SCOTLArt ?) , JSNGLAND , " ,. AND IRELAND . V " " Pbllow Chartists , —We , the underslfned Inhabitants of Aberdeen , being raerobers of the " Aberdeen Charter Union , " regard it as a duty we' no leMowe to Mr . O'Connor than to ourselves , to state what w&believe to be tbe eff « t of his visit to our northern dty . This is the more TMoessaryi in consequence of tbe dogmatical pertinacity of the Rev . Patrick BreWste * and hfs few friend * to cram the CaKon Hill and Birmingham resolotions down tho throata ot the peop le * * . :
First We regard the vHit ef Mr . O'Coaao * to Aberdeen , and his triumphal reception , as ona of the greatest triumphs the Chartist cause has obtained in this part of tbe country , because Mr . O'Connor having long been adopted as the veritable friend and representative of tbe working classes , his enemies and the enemies of the sxcred eaa * e of liberty wpre leagued logo there , in order to stop , if possible , any popular demonstration in testimony of our approval of hi * conduct in tb * defence of our rights and the rights of mankind . ¦¦ .
Secondly . Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Aberdeen has been sifnaliaed by a great accessioa of number * to the Chartist ciuse . Many of tbe middle classes , who were formerly prejudiced against Chartism , by tbe eloquent and powerful reasoning ot Mr . O'Connor , have bad their prejudices completely removed . Many who were callous and indifferent to the onward march of freedom ,, have had taeiv energies accelerated , and an impression has be « n generated in tbe public mind in favour of the Charter which will never be eradicated . ssssssa . }¦* - * * -
