THE LEEDS TIMES AND BRONTERRE
O'BRIEN . Chaetism !—BaopfTEERB O'BaiBf . —On Sunday afternoon and evening , two lectures" ( harangues ) on Chartism and the prospects of the people , were delivered in the Half of Science , by Mr . Bronterre O'Brien . The Hall was crowded to suffocation on both occasions , many having to return from not being able to obtain admission . It was with unfeigned pleasure thai we last week recorded the philosophical , moral , and manly lectures , delivered by Mr . H . Vincent , in the same place ,. and it is with equal pain , that oar duty now compels as to denounce the above harangues as the most contradictory , immoral , and brutal fulminations , erer belched forth by a drunken man , ( and indeed he was drunk , and no mistake . ) He never dealt with principles or measures , but furiously attacked all
classes , and his language was low , mean , And scurrilous , and excited the uneducated portion of his audience to frequent disorderly shouts and exclamations . " You are humbngged , " said he , " by Social lecturers ; you are humbugged by the parsons ; and job are humbugged by demagogues 1 " There might be some truth in this , but ne never showed them how to evade , or detect the " humbug ; " nor advised them to any elevated course of action , by which they tight improve their condition ; and he forgot to tell them that he was the greatest humbng of them all . Such a discordant " lecturer , " before a popular audience , as might naturally be expected , produced the most shocking disorder and uproar . Alas 1 if suoh be the people a leaders , their ** prospects" are truly dreadful . — Leeds Tunes . Not . 6 th , 1841 .
In reference to this brutal paragraph , we have received the following letter , to which we call attention : — My Deab Sib , —I happened to be at Mr . PitkethJj - e wben Mr . O'Brien arrived lu Huddersueld . He got his dinntr with Mr . Pitkethly , and Mr . Fittethley repeatedly solicited him to nave either some spirits or wine , all of which he declined , and would take nothing but water daring his stay there . I accompanied Mm to the " Hall of Science , " which , as the writer says , " was crowded to suffocation , " a great quantity having to go away without having the pleasure of hp--njng the " most brutal fulminatianB ever belched forth by a drunken man . " The writer mnrt
have forgot himself when he said that " he never dealt with principles or measures ;* ' for he must know tbat he dealt with the measures of the Socialists , and triumphantly showed that it was impossible lhat their " dreams of benevolence" would ever be carried into effect without Universal Suffrage , and that in such a -way as called forth the shouts of his " uneducated " audience . But to think of a Socialist being scandalised by the exclamations of the uneducated because it was Sunday . ' That Mr . O'Brien said they were " humbugged" is true ; but as the writer ' s memory appears to . have been treacherous as to the cause of the exclunati on , I beg to inform you that some person , apparently unconnected with the Socialists , gave out , among other hingi , a notice that there was going to be a discussion
as to " whether the character of Jesus Christ , &s developed in the Scriptures , or the character of Robert O wen , as developed in his life , were the most worthy of imitation . " Here Mr . O'Brien did exclaim you are humbugged , and said that he knew that discussions of the kind ¦ were arranged between private parties for no other purpose than to draw an audience , and then divide the profits between them . As to bis not advising them to follow any course of action , the writer cannot nave forgot that be told the audience tbat he would , on that evening , state a few of their grievances ; but tbat , on the Tuesday night , be would lay down his
plan for improving their condition . As to the " discordant lecturer producing the most shocking disorder , " is really too ridiculous ! I have attended a very many meetings of that kind , and I do believe the writer never saw one so much crowded with less disorder . But then a Socialist being shocked because there was disorder on a Sunday ! this is sublimely ridiculous . I have troubled you long enough , but I cannot help saying that ssmetbing like decency is due to any public character , and that parties who deal in this unqualified oondemo&tion only provoke the txclamation " save us from our friend * . " Believe me , yours truly , Jakes Pesnt . "
Mr . Penny seem * to have written under the impression that the Leeds Times man is a Socialist . Whether he be or not we neither know nor care ; nor do we think that would be any fair ground on which to attack him in re'erence to h ; s report . Every man is fully entitled to have his own opinions on all matters of opinion . The question of the public with this infamous paragraph , has regard , not to the opinions of the writer , bus to his infamous perversion of facts and assertion of falsehoods .

HTJSDERSFIELD . —According to announcement Mr . Leach , of Mftnchester , delivered a most impressive lecture in * the Guild Hall , to a very numerous and attentive audience . He dilated at some length on the present distressed state of the country , particularly amongst the labouring classes , on the various causes that nave been long working to produce the same , and the combination of those causes tending to keep down labour and to maintain other monopolies . The first and great cause he stated to be the monopoly of the land , which first gave rise to the monopoly of legislation , which gave rise to the circulating medium which produced the monopoly of machinery , that of labour and every other monopoly that now degrades a laborious and
starving people . He also proved that there is less paid in wages for labour now than there were years ago by upwards 150 millions per annum . He proved to demonstration how on the other hand every sineoure , every pension of every description had increased in value as their labour had become depreciated . He shewed the necessity of the united efforts of the labouring classes , shewing them- how ridiculous it was to expeot any other class above them giving them relief , as all those classes were interested in keeping them degraded . He called upon them to join the union with heart and hand—to . 6 ign the > etition with sincerity , and to irive the lie to the
calumniating enemies who could only taunt them as physical-force Chartists ; but to tell those enemies the Chartists have learnt to kuow that the strongest pike , and the most dreaded by despots , is the pike of reason , firmly grasped by the hand of justice . At the conclusion , a very interesting discussion followed between the lecturer and Mr . Spiers , Social Missionary . Both gentlemen displayed great ability , and both agreed upon the principles of the Charter as being just , and that Mr . SpierB would sign the petition with all his heart ; and did the Charter but depend upon his giving . it , it would be given to-morrow .
DUBLIN . ( From our Correspondent . ) As I anticipated in tbe communication of last week , Mr . O'Connell was elected Lord Mayor on Monday last , whioh has given his followers and expectants peat satisfaction . Mr . O'Connell , a short time since , attended a meeting fcrthe encouragement of Irish manufacture , and said , that " he had never yet done anything for the working classes , but that he would begin now and put his hand iu his pocket , " and paid over to the treasurer , for the encouragement of Irish manufacture , the munificent subscription of twenty shillings !!! Hear this , ye poor exiled ill-used Irish tradesmen ! Here ia encouragement held out to you , to return to your native country . The busy hum of the Irish shuttle shall now cheer the heart of the Irish widow ,
orphan , and matron . Something has at length been done for the working classes . Let it never be forgotten , that the great Liberator , now Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin , has subscribed twenty shillings for the enoouragemeht of Irish manufacture . As the robe usually wore by the Lord Mayor was made of scarlet cloth , and as there was none to be had of Irish manufacture , the Lord Mayor as a further proof of his determination te support the Irish manufacturers , gave an order to his friend , Tom Arkins , the cast-clothsman , to get him a robe of Irish scarlet velvet , which robe after all was but second-hand , as it was worn before the Lord Mayor saw it ; but the best of all is , that the Lord Mayor
exhibited himself on the balcony m front ot his house , in Merrion-square , to his deluded followers , arrayed in all the gaudy and fantastic habiliments of cfiioc , while at the same time he accused mild , sensible , and unassuming Mr . Crawford of being swallowed up by overweaning vanity . This ridiculous charge afforded infinite amusement to the sensible portion of the citizens of Dublin , notwithstanding which ho has a very numerous train of followers , who place the utmost confidence in him , aud who labour under the delusive hope that he will ultimately achieve some great good for them . Twelve years ' experience has not opened their eyes to his > olitical
delinquencies"For well th' impostor knows all lures and arts That Lucifer eWe taught to ' tangle hearts . " The Ibjsh Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . William O'l ' oolo in tho chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmtd ; after whioh the Secretary road a letter from Mr . T . Mooney , of Gowran , County Kilkenny , requesting Star-light in tbat quarter . Mr . O'Higgins read an admirable letter from the Rev . Mr . Ryan , which was received with every mark of respect and approbation . Mr . Atkinson was called upon by the meeting to deliver a short lecture on the principles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , whioh he did in a masterly style ,
and during the delivery of which he was much cheered . Mr . Rafter rose to move the admission of Mr . Joseph Hammond , who , he said , was an old and tried friend in the cause of the people . Mr . Hammond briefly thanked the meeting for the honour of being admitted a member . Mr . Dyot rose and said he was glad to have tho opportunity of correcting an error into whioh Mr . Atkinson had fallen . In the course of his admirable address , he said that tbe members did not agitate sufficiently for the cause . Now he ( Mr . Dyot ) thought it far better to urge the principles of the Charter by reason than by appealing to the passions and prejudices of a people already too much excited , ana whose reason was prepossessed by an artful and designing
agitator , whose sole Object was money , while his ( Mr . Dyot ' s ) object was to call back men to reason and experience . He was a worker in the cause of universal political redemption , and he was sure that if one man would endeavour to reform another , the work would go on bravely . He would conclude by proposing for admission one who would be a great auxiliary to them , Mr . M . G . Conway . ( Cheers , )—After which Mr . Conway rose and Baid , he thanked them for the high honour they had conferred upon him , and he begged to assure the meeting that since he bad come to the use of reason , he had entertained tbe opinions advocated by the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland , and specially set forth in the People ' s Charter . He admired Mr . O'Connell
perhaps more 'ban any man in Ireland ; he had watched him during his struggle for religious liberty ; he had seen him surrounded by the talent and eloquence of tho country , and by the whole of the Catholic priesthood , whoso united powers achieved one of the greatest moral victories with which the history of the world furnishes us . It is but justice to Mr . O'Connell to say , that he was the ohiet mover in the great moral struggle , and is therefore entitled to the honours of the victory , and there ( said Mr . Conway ) his usefulness ended ; for , after Catholic Emancipation , we find him wriggling him-Belt' into an allianco with the Whigs for tho purpose of getting places for his sous , and sons-in-law , from that faction whom he ha 3 justly
designated as " base , bloody and brutal , " and who , but fur the support he gave them , would long since have bad to resigu even before they passed the Poor Law Amendment act that separates husband from wife , and the children from both . Long before he bad seea the letters of Mr . Crawford he was opposed to Mr . O'ConneLTa scheme of Repeal , the agitation of which was mere delusion aud intended as such . Had Mr . O'Couuell been sincere in his agitation of that great measure , ho could , when he had the people of England and Scotland with him , he could have extorted any measure from the Finality faction , instead of which he multiplied iu the House of Commons , by every means in his power , the enemies of that measure ; in 1837 he
not only put the question of Repeal in abeyance , but called upon the Irish constituencies to demand no other pledge from the candidates than that of supporting her Majesty ' s Ministers , the sworn enemies of the Repeal of the Umou . ( Great cheering . ) Here a man , who said his name was Brennan , and that he was a Repeal Warden and a schoolmaster , made a furious attack upon the Association , which he said was opposed to the views and interests of Mr . O'Connell . He then turned like a bear on Messrs . Conway and Dyot , who he said were traitors to O'ConneH . He then said he was astonished at the conduot of Mr . O'Higgins , whose relations he knew to be honourable aud patriotic gentlemen . He came there to call Mr .
O'Higgins to account for the vote he gave at the municipal elections . Why did he not vote for Mr . O'Connell ' s " whole tickat , " for men whom he knew would vote with Mr . O'Connell in everything in the Town Council ? ( Hear , hear , from Mr . O'Higgins . ) Mr . O'Connell ' s Repeal Wardon continued vociferating in this strain for a considerable time , to the great amusement of the whole meeting . He ultimately sat down roaring at the top of his voice " that he never was so laughed at before . " Mr . O'Higgins rose and gave Mr . O'Connell ' s unfortunate Repeal warden the most awful castigation that ever man suffered , and so keenly did he feel it , that he and his party kept shifting towards the door , Mr . O'Higgins aud several
members imploring them not to go until they would hear all , but no entreaty could induce them to remain . The meeting was further addressed by Messrs . Clarke and Wood . Mr . Woodward was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated , eacfh as he went his way laughing at the folly and signal defeat ot Mr . O'ConneH ' s Repeal warden and friends . To the Chabttsts . —Recent circumstances have rendered it absolutely necessary that the Chartists of Great Britain shovld be acquainted with the names of the persons who assaulted Mr . Lowery , the Chartist missionary , in Henry-street , Dublin , in
August , 1839 . No . 1 . Thomas M . Ray , that is " Dear Ray , " who planned the attack , and whose son got an appointment from the Whigs . 2 . J . J . Murphy , an attorney . 3 . R . Lawrenson , who boasted of having torn Mr . Lowery's coat . 4 . Thod . Arkins , the cast olothesman , who led on the unfor tunate " Billy Welters , " first to get drunk , and then to attack the Chartists . 5 . C . Cayne , formerly a hawker of hats in the purlieus of St . Giles ' s . 6 . Thomas Reynolds , who Baid that the ChartUt mis * sionary should show bis credentials , and then he would have him taken and put into Newgate , where nogood Irishman would visit him . "

XiOUGHBOHOUGrH . —Wanton Mischiff — On Friday evening , the 5 th inst ., the sign of Mr . Skevington , the " Charter Inn , " was shot through with bullets in seven places . About twelve months since this same sign was painted over in the night , a la Waterford . In neither of these eases of wanton mischief did the watchman know anything at all about the perpetrator .

IYIANCHESTEB . -Hunt ' s Birth Dat .-Oii Monday evening last , the Brown-street Chartists celebrated the birth-day of Henry Hunt , by a tea party and ball , holden in their room . The arrangements and preparations under the management of Mr . Hargreave and his two daughters were everything that could be desired , both as to elegance and comtort . The room was splendidly set out with fi » g 8 , banners , paintings , portraits , and other decorations . Over the President's chair hnug a fine portrait of Hunt in a rich gold frame , ana immediately facing the audience a large oil painting of the bloody field-day of Peterloo , on 16 th of August , 1819 . The room was well lighted up with gas , and the tables were tastefully set out . At eight o ' clocka very
, respectable company sat down to tea . About twenty minutes wero occupied in discussing the cake and gunpowder , after which , the cloth being drawn and the tables " sided , " the Rev . James Schofield was called to the chair amidst rapturous applause . The Rev . Gentleman briefly and courteously acknowledged tbe compliment paid him , and eulogised the patriot to whose memory they were met to do honour , whom in his life-time he had known and loved , and whose principles he bad made his own . The first toast from the Chair was " The People ) the legitimate source of all power , " responded to by Mr . John Hargravcs . Air—Mareelloise Hymn . * ' The immortal memory of the late Henry Hunt , and those who fell ou Peterloo : " responded to by
Mr . Whitaker . Air—The Dead March . The next toast was , " Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and J . B . O'Brien , Esq . —may their patriotic exortions be duly appreciated by a grateful people . " Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm with which this toast was received by the audience ; it is impossiblo to describe it , suffice it that every means by which gratification could be expressed by both sexes was resorted to . Air— Auld lang syne . " M The amiable though exiled Frost and his compatriots Williams and Jones ; may the people ' s exertions for their restoration be speedily crowned with success . " Responded to by Mr . James Cartledge . " "Arthur O'Connor , and all who have suffered in the cause of universal liberty . " Air— Exile of Erin . " Mr . Murray , an
Irish Chartist , upwards of sixty years of age , a democrat from seventeen years of age , rose to respond , and knowing personally Arthur , Roger , and Fcargu 3 O'Connor , and beiig a good historian , he delivered a long and interesting address , beginsirg from forty years back , giving minute details of the Irish Rebellion , tracing the O'Connor family down to the present time , speaking in the most eulogestio terms ; and that during all his acquaintance with them , he had not seen a single flaw , but on the contrary , he had experienced and observed everything that was patriotic , generous , and honourable . Mr . Murray spoke of the old Northern Star in Ireland , went through all the proceedings respecting Emmett , aud the evenful period of the year 98 .
So exhilirating was the subsequent amusement of the evening , that this good and old friend ( Murray ) put on a pair of slippers , ( though he had not , danced for more than thirty years , ) and gave us an hornpipe , which completely astonished the youngsters to Bee his bald head and his light toe trip the boards to the quick-time music . " The officers and supporters of the National Charter Association ; may unity attend their deliberations , and the overthrow of tyranny be the result of their exertrons . " Responded to by tho Rev . W . V . Jackson . Air"Scots wha hae , " &o . "The Charter , the only remedy for all the evils which class legis ation has

The Chairman rose , and said the next toast was the laBt— " The Northern Sldr , its Editor , the Rev . Wm . Hill , and the whole of the Chartist press . " Air— "The bonny breast kuots ; " after whioh the toast was responded to by Mr . Griffin . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing , singing , recitations , and other amusements . The harmony of the assembly being kept up till a late hour .
Birth-day op Henry Hunt . —On Saturday evening , about thirty of the leading Chartists of Manchester sat down to an excellent supper at the Tib-street Dancing Master ' s house ,. in commemoration of the birth-day ot the above gentleman . — After the cloth was withdrawn the company enjoyed themselves with songs , toasts , recitations , &c . until shortly after eleven o ' clock . Of course the living patriots and the Chartist press were properly recognised . Lectubk . —On Sunday evening , Mr . Storer , of Ashton , lectured to a numerous audience in Tibstreet , and Mr . John Campbell , in Brown-street .
Distress . —On Monday three wretched girls were brought before Alderman Hooper , at the London Mansion House , charged with having broken windows for the purpose of being sent to Bridewell . A policeman stated that having , between one and two o ' clock in the morning , heard a smashing of glass , he went to ascertain the cause , and saw the three girls , who told him that they bad committed the offence , and that they wished to be locked up oat of the cold . He took them to the station-house , and thenee , by order of tbe inspector , to the union ia Cannonstreet , where Mr . Thwaites , the relieving officer , immediately attended to the case , and offered them orders of admission to the house at Peckham , but
they refused to go to the establiabment , and witness conveyed them to the station-house . Mr . Thwaites said that , as was frequently the case , he was ? knocked up at an unreasonable hour , after the regular labours of the day , aud ho offered the orders to the girld , all of whom had been at Peckham before ; but they rejected the orders , and he had no alternative but to send them back to the station-house . Mr . Ho bier intimated to the Alderman that tho rejection of the offer was by no means to be wondered at , as . it was no trifle to walk four or five miles between one and two o clock in the morning after the exhaustion of the day . Aid . Hooper—Indeed it is a hard sentence upon poor fatigued persons to send them at such an hour such a distance . I am sure that is not what ought to be called relief . Mr . Thwaites
eaid that he had it not in his power to do anything more for those who were brought to him . The multitudes received at Pecknam were beyond all credibility . They had 240 persons in the house a couple of weeks ago , and a strong spirit of insubordination had exhibited itself of late there . The girls stated that the ; had broken the windows in order to be Bent to prison , as a prison , bad as it was , was better than the Peckham house , of which they knew quite enough . All that they could expect at Peckham house was to be turned out in the morning with a little bread . They had been all round the London unions , and they must say that prison was greatly preferable , whatever people might state . Booker , the overseer of Bishopscate pariah , stated tbat the
guardians of the East London Union were to hold a meeting next day on the subject of purchasing premises iu town for the reception of destitute persons like tbe defendants . All the guardians of the unions in the city would , he believed , attend on so important an occasion . The East London Union guardians had seen one of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioners on the subject , and it was believed that premises would be purchased . The conduot of the younger prisoners in the workhouse was bo bad that the old people , who were entitled to some little comfort , had tbe most miserable lives in tbat asylum . Girls like those at the bar were in the habit of pelting each other with bread and pudding , and the house was really a hell upon earth . Alderman
Hooper , perceiving that one of the girls was ill . sent her to Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and ordered that the other two should pay the Bum of 20 s . each for the mischief they had done , or suffer imprisonment for a month in Bridewell . One of the Girls . —Thank you . Sir , for sending us to Bridewell ; any place U to be preferred to Peckham , and no mistake . We shall never go there again , at any rate . Alderman Hooper . —I do not attribute auy blame to the relieving overseer , for he cannot remedy the evil ; but it is quite a mockery of relief to give poor destitute creatures orders to go to Peckham between on © and tw , V 1 the morning . 1 hope such a node of relief will be as quickly as possible substituted by one more according with ordinary humanity .
