      SOXG FOR THE MILLIONS . »¦ The system of society in England is one of robbery and fraud ; the produce of the land is swallowed up by the lean iine— tba locmts' of the earth , in the shape of tax-imposers and tax-eaters , destroy every green gjjjjg . The rent-mongers , the money-mongers , and the ¦ prcnt-mongers , eat up the earth , till there is neither place nor provender remaining for the poor . " Editor of northern Star . Old England ! they call thee the land of the free ,

      The land of the just , of the virtuous , and brave ; j&& the theme of their songs in their drunken glee Is to boast of the succour thon giv " st to the slave . Bnt ah I they forgetTr tule resoradinjf tby praise , Jo tell cf the sn 5 erin $ s endured on thy soil j And the over-fed drones , when their voices they raise , "NWer think on the f » t « of the poor sons of toiL Bat the hart shall be bold , And the tale shall be told , And misery do lorger with mockery be treated ; all nations earth

      To on , The great truth shall go forth , HQ the League and the lie of the knaves be defeated . Old England 1 their fulsome landaSens are lies ; £ Ed to boast of their freedom is wasting of breath . Xtat country is curs'd where industry dies , And the labouring slave is starved unto death . And is it sot so , " good Old England , ** frith , thee ? jj ^ h -witness the records that teem from thy press . It is mockery to call thee tie Land of the Free—Thon art fill'd with oppression , and grief , and distress . For class legislation , And grinding taxation , Are rampant and rife in thy odious laws ; The producers of wealth They are starved by stealth , And the tyrants protected from whence spring the cause

      Old England ! tis true thou art faU " n and degraded , THth isatience thou bearest foul slavery ' s brand ; The rights of thy sons are by tyrants invaded , Atsd their minions in live ; y are spread o'er the land ; Thy peasantry , famous for true hospitality , Are sunk into paupers or starred into graves ; Thy gats'darme--podce force witti despot formality Ifow rale thee with rods hie a cation of slaves . Ye men of Great Britain , Who stoop to be spit on , How long will you crouch and your free birth-rights barter ? Up and rouse ye , and claim In your God ' s holy name , The only hope left ye— your glorious Charier ! Manchester . BesjaHIS STOIT .

      LUTHER , x Pool , by Robket Mostgomebt , M . A . Author of the Omnipresenee of the Deity , the Messiah , Satan , &c . London : Frances Bafsler , 124 , Oxford-street ; Hamilton , Adams , and Co ., 33 , Paternoster Row ; Tilt and Bogue , 8 S , Fleetstreet . It is seldom thai we have risen from the perusal of any work with mere pain or more pleasure than we have experienced from this . Knowing the author ' s clerical and political predilections we espected to find lis work breathing a fierce spirit of party zeal and intolerance , and we were net disappointed . A work keitsr calculated to foster feelings of malignant hatred and determined persecution , never , in onr opinion , issned from the press . We deeply regivt

      this . Robert Montgomery is a post of a rerv hish Drier . Few men know better how 10 toneh the chords of feeling , or to excite "he deep throVbings of sympathy . Under the magic of his Sowing numbers the feelings are made captive , while ihe judgment becomes dazzled sjid bewildered by the brilliancy of the images , and the ont-bursw of sis z * al . That a Eia , wi : h powers so Tast , with energies so uncocqaerable , and with sentiments , in many respecrso jass ,-should prostitute those powers , energies , and leniiments to the snpport of any faction is a fact to be deplored i > y every rightly constituted mind . We de noi here refer to the theological errors scattered in fast profusion through the pages of " Luiner , " direcdy contrary as some of the dogmas laid down

      ire to tie sacred Scriptures , and to the common reason of mankind , they are only such as might fairly i be expected , considering the theological school in i which the author has been tan ^ ht to think and j TeaEoa . It "is . ho-rre-rer , satisfactory to find these i enontous opision 3 more than half neutralised by j Other portien 3 of the poem . It is tha illiberal and j the inrokmu spirit which pervades every allusion '• to the Chorea of Rome which constitutes the subject of our censure and disapproval ; and those portions of the work are the more likely to produce extensive mi = chi ~ f , from the apparent candour and liberality j with -inch they are invested . The covering i 3 hut j Simfj , bet it is qsiie sufficient to deceive the unsas- peeling ; who , under the guidance of such 3 } teacher , are likely enough to regard hatred to a

      Papist as the most effectual manifestation of love to Ged . We are no ; ihe apologists of the Chnrch off Rome any more than we are blind admirers of the ; supporters of the reform faith- Error has disfigured j and disgraced the Roman Church to an alarming I extent ; but we beg to remind her clerical opponents j thai they siein no condition to claim the right of throvricg stones at their mistaken sister . Some portions of truth are to be found in every seciion of the Church j universal , whiie much error , doctrinal and practical j perrades them all . All , however , would do -well , in ] the midst of their bickerings and controversies , f remember ibat ; genuine " charity never faileth , but on the contrary beareth , believetb i hopeth , and endnreth aii things . " Mr . Montgomery ranks high aa a philosophical poet ; and yet , in the warmth of party zeal , he has , in the portions of the work referring to ihe times of the Reformation , substituted bold j

      assertion for historical or argumentative proof . Proof , in fact , there i 3 ncne ; declamation , false premises , and illogical conclusions , make ap nearly the whole of this poniou of the work . A few scat- j tered fects , chiefly as recorded by Protestant writers , j have been selected , moulded by the author into a j form congenial with bis preconceived opinions , and I then paraded to the world as the faithful picture of the ancient religion . In justice , however , to ihatj religion , we are bound to ssv that a very lar ^ e por- j tion of the errors ascribed to it in Mr , Sloni- ; gocery ' s book have been distinctly denied by writers of the Romish communion of approved credit and unquestionable authority . ;

      From these subjects of regret we torn with ranch pleasure to 'hose portions of the work which relate to Lu . ih . ers personal character and public conduct . The anthor traces him from his childhood to his death , and making allowances for sectional bias , the whole review is conducted in a candid , liberal , and impartial spirit . Luther ' s faults are neitbtr concealed nor extenuated . His character , both in its greatness and i : s littleness stands cut before us in bold relief , and in conunandliig majes ; j . The author has not only psrnsed ihs records and incidents of the great reformer ' s life with intense interest , but he has fell them—bears us tack to : he home cf his childhoodhe depicts to us the boy pursuing his studies , and beijiiLc bread from do-. r to door . We go with h ; EQ

He has itcn nothing like it to this momtaz . He reuds ti .-3 title—i ; is a bible ; a rare book , unknown in ih < - * e cays . His iuttre ^ w is exciud to a hi ^ h . degree ; he is ovtrcume vriih . wonder at Sudlsjj more is . the volume than those fragments of tne Gospels and Epistles which the church had selected to be -read in tie temples every Sunday throughout the year . " We fallow him to Rcme , to tie Asguiiine at Wittenberg . We hear him in thuBderi ' -. g cenui ciat . oiiS procla i m the iciqnity of ids sale of rcdn : i , esces . We see him iix the riafty-ETe propositions to the gates oi

      the church in Witriib ; rg . We svarid with him in ihe Hail of W :. rms and we share with hi » the tolitude of L : s frKi-dly captivity in the Castle of WETtburg ; thence ytt see his bold and dauntless mi ? d exerting its t 2 gaT : * . ic povrers to crush fanatical r * * Dtilion in tie riietis of Wittenbers ; in a word , through every fcias ? tf Its career , the pcci has contrived io iead us till "we close his eyes in death , and lirtt-n to his fuiifral orations from the lips of his friend and ccacjutor , ihe mild and benevoienr Melancthon . Asa pieceo : poetical biography this lite of Luther = - . aLds probably in the first rank .

      morsxiEmirgieG Fan-ilaction and delight . Here the Reverend author r » as ascended to a he ; t . ht : ar beyond the Barrow boundaries of political partisanship and sectarian creeds . He tikes an enlarged view of human piogress ; each object in the world of sense is to his eniiEhieced conception an ontbirth and aa image of the world of mind ; ts sees God in everything ; aca ijy t ] jg ij ^ . of lev elation refers evei 7-thing to God . The sceptic aud the mere material philosopher axe confounced by the brilliancy of his conceptions and the force of * his irresistible arguments ; while the mists of his own Eectar . aa error are in numerous passages dispelled by the bright

      refulgence ef the rays of eternal truths . He seeds not unfrequentiT disposed to soar away to regions of exalted thought and pure aff ' -ction , bursting the ehaias that brad him , and leaving stcts and Parties to fight and quarrel on till they have fnenched their glow-worm fires in everlasting Urkness . The work is accompanied with an introduction , "frhieh , like itself , is of a very complex and mingled fawner , and by a , body of eoic-b , Ejany of vfhiCh 'Haighlj valuable from their L ' storical importance , ^¦ pon the Tf hole , we deem the work a _ valuable Waition to our literature . These who ihink . ana *?» £ on as well a 3 read , may peruse it net only with fcteare , but vfitk consideraUe advauiage both to ^ Iiead aud to the heart .

      Extraordinary MisT 4 KE .- ^ 0 n Friday last , --a farmer , named Castles , residing within- two miles south of St . Albin ' s , on going to look at twelve ewes which ho hai pur , into a small enclosure , and expected sooa to lamb , was startled at not finding them there ; and observing that a hurdle had been removed , aud that there were footmarks near , he presumed they had been stolen . No time was lost in despatching sis mea and two beys on horseback , to look after the lost sheep . All their endaavoars were in vain , ' uutil night , when one of the men accidentally mes wiTh a youth , named Hawkins , who stated that his father bad twelve sheep which did not belong to him ; that he had employed a man named Bennett , a shoemaker , to drive some sheep home for him , who , he supposed had exchanged for a better lot . It being night , fears were entertained

      that the sheep could then bo identified , and Hawkins promised to take care of them until the morning . The loser made immediate application to the maker of sola ? , to know whence he got the sb . 6 ep , when tho following strange account was elicited : —He said he had been employed to drive twelve sheep from St . Alban ' s to Barnett , and having called at a public-house to refresh himself , he left the sheep to go on , intending to follow them after he had taken his beer . When he came out he walked along the road about a mile , without seeing them , and then , turning down a Jane , he looked through a hedge , and saw twelve sheep in a field , and he pulled down a hurdle and let them out . This statement , although a marvellous ona , the owner of the sheep was contented to put up with , considering that he again got possession of his lost ewes .

      Fatal Railway-Accidents . —On Friday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , an accident , attended with fatal consequences , occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway , at the works near Stanway , a few miles from Colchester , by the falling of an immense mass of earth upon an excavator , named Warren . There were ieveral employed at "tho time , all of whom contrived to tsnape except the unfortunate deceased , who when dui ; out was found to be quite dead . He had only bten employed on the line the day before . On Saturday an inquest was held on the body , and a verdict of " Accidental Death "

      was recorded . On Thursday last , a deplorable accident took place on the Korth Union Hail way , whereby a policeman , named Robert Splain , lost his life . At abeut eight o ' ciock at night some persons passing aJoag the line near the town of Capel wore alarmed by hearing groans proceed from ihe railway , and on goir-j ; in the direction , discovered the unfortunate man Splain lying , apparently dead , between the rails , with his right foot severed from his leg , and kis left hand cut , completely off . He was instantly taken up , and immediately conveyed to the Capel Station , whore he died in a few minutes afterwards . From the evidence adduced before the

      inquest , which was held on the following day , there was every reason to suppose that ho met with the accident by a luggage train that passed along the line a few minutes before he was discovered as ahoye » mcntioned . Tlie Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death . '' On the same day a fatal accident happened on the Northern and Eastern Railway , close at the station of Sawbiidgenorth . The unfortunate individual who lost his life was an elderly mau named James Brown , a shoemaker living at Sheering , in Essex , who went to tho station to see a friend off by tho train to London ; while standing on the platform fronting the station he was seired with an epileptic fit ,, and fell on the rails at the moment the tram was starting , wh ch passed over his body just above the abdomen , producing almost instantaneous death . On Saturday , Mr . Lewis , the Coroner for Essex , held an inquiry into the case , and a verdict of" Accidental death" was returned .

He concluded , however ,, by submitting the following resolutions , which being founded on the Report , centain an echo of its constitution : —

      1 . " That there are serious ohjectieus to the propesed constitution of the Board of Commissioners f > r carrying into effect the Leed * Improvement Bill now before Parliament arising from the contemplated mixture of ptTSOiis delegated by different bodies , from th » unnecessary number on the Board ; and from the impeifect arrangements for the election of a portion of commissioners by inhabitants liable to be voted .

" That the Town Council ifl in every respect qualified to nndtrtake the duties intended to bs imposed by the proposed Improvement Act ; that the vesting such powers in their hands would save the inhabitants the trouble and inconvenience of a separata election of commissioners ; and that it does not appear there could be any body better constituted for those purposes .

      PUBLIC MEETING OF THE RATEPAYERS OF SHOREDITCH . The above meeting was held on . Wednesday evening week , at the Vestry room of St . Leonard ' s , Shorediteh . The Senior Churchwarden , Mr . Woodcock , was called to the ch'iir , and the Vestry Clerk having read the requisition , which was numerously and . respectably signed , calling . upon the inhabitant ratepayers to assemble and take inco consideration , the document called the People's Charter ; it was proposed that the meeting should adjourn to the spacious rooms at the Workhouse ^ Kingsland-road . This was unanimously agreed to , and at half-past , six tha Churchwarden resumed the chair ; the meeting at this period w-as very numerously attended , a considerable proportion b&ing of that eiasri usually denominated middle-men .

      Mr . Dyson was called upon t ^ move the first resolution . He was sincerely desirous of . 'abolishing that system of cliiss legislation , whichahntterea and fettered the industry of the country . By class legislation , waa meant that system of Government where the laws were framed for the benefit of particular classes , instead of looking to the benefit of the whole . Under the present system the aristocracy was v / ell representad ; the manufacturing aud commercfaJ interests partially ; ¦ whilst the interest of the labourer received no legislative protection . Some few years ago , a partial change was made by the Reform Bill ,, which had benefitted a

      {«•» classes , but it had signally failed in removing the grievances of clasa legislation . Mr . Djson then went i nto an explanation of the six points of the Charter , vkich embodied what in his opinion were the unalienable rights of man . We were gruaninsr . under s / viny . ba-d laws" ; there was ono party ( complaining of tho Poor Laws , another of the Cota Lttws , und another oi the Income fr : x , but we should never gat n'd ' of Uiem until we were fairly represented , and the agitation for them sepuvatfly only served to delay the progress of tbe important question . He should conclude by moving the following resolution :-

      —" That in the opinion of this public Vestry , the niarnriuft distress which now ... prevails throughout the country has been caused by tlK ' . baA laws , and legislative misiii 3 ?! . ' ) i ! uuent of our present legislators , and that the only remedy for tha prosunt system of . class , legislation , is by giving to the people a full , fair , and free representation which will restore trade to a safe basis , ensure plenty to the operative , pn . tection to tie capitalist , and prosperity to the country . Mr . Elgar hail great x ^ easuro in se conding the resolution . They inight rest assured that no good lsw-S would be enacted until tha whole people were represented ; ihose who now sent representatives , sent those iuen viio would lowkto their interest regardless of tu « general benefit of the country . Thousands , yea

      niiliii ) ns , wero actna'ly starving for want cf the common r-ecessavies of life ; \ vfere wiUing to work , but utterly unable to obtain , it , This ( iistttSB hid now reachf * ' the middle class , and it was their bounden duty to unite with the working men to give to all that political power to which by nature they were entitled . They ( the middle class ) must ' of- necessity come over to us and agitate for this great principle , and wo shall then be able to gut up such an amount of public opinion as shall force the government lo-accede to our demands If the working men were represented ia the House of Gumroons , dirt they suppose that many of them would be dying , as our coroners * inquests now proved that they were , of hunger and starvation in our streets ? No , they woul « J then elect men who Would legislate for tho good of the v ? hole people .

      Mr . GiLLJiAN said he never rose to address an assembly with greater pleasure in his life . The last meeting held in tuat piace wns for a repeal of the . Corn Laws . He had great pleasure in expressing his sentiments at that time . He considered , those laws to be a monstrous grievance ; but another aud a far greater grievance was , that every mau in that room was not allowed a vote the same as he had himself What was iu his peiBon or in his purse thttt should entitle him to a pre-eminence over his fellow men ? He was the oldest of five brothers , not pub of whom , save bimseif , had a vote . Why ' should they be deprived of that to which they were equally

      entitled a . s himself ? He had assisted in the agitation for the Rsforin Bill , but he never intended to stop there Lord Finality was not the whole world , i'hat Bill was only e ; irried from a dread of the millions taking what they at lost thought it prudent , to grant . He did not belong to the Charter Association , but he thought he ahoulU take out his card that night . He thought it waa high time that the middle class should join them ; distress would shortly force them to it He knew that both Whigs and Tories were sick of their iistociates ; if they were not tbey had ought to be ashamed of it Could a Chartist Parliament do Worse

      than they had done ? It was their birthright they were contending for , and without representation they were the veriest of slaves . Thei speaker then detailed instances in which he had been deprived of customers through votiug according to Ma conscience ; the right of voting was now vested in a very incompetent class ; it could not be worse under any system , the same prejxidiee once existed against a Radical ns there Was now against a Chartist Many well-meaning ^ men had crp ; aly interested tiitniselves in freeiug th « blacks—let taem enfranch i se the white slaves of England . It would noi cost twenty millions ; t ? iey were honest , industrious , and patient ; aye > too patient , or they wonld never huvo bubniiUed to be robbed of their all , byacluss who earned nothing whilst they theinaelves produced everything . The resolution was then react by tha Clerk , and carried with four dissentients .

      Mr . Brows stated , that he rose to move for their adoption , a yesolutioa embodying the SIX points of tho Charter , n . ud should attempt to give a brief explanation of each partieular htad . Mr . 3 J then showed , from ancient authorities , that TJbiversal Suffrage was aripht which the people of this country once possessed . : The Q-overDinent instituted police aud other foiceB , to proffi't property , but they gave ho protection to the Suffragr , which was more valuable than property , which wjisequa ! in value to Jife , for without that you arc bought mid sold p . a mere slaves ., They demand the Ballot to proii-. ct the Suffrage ; with regard to the-Property ' Qualification , it mattered not how great an intellect a man might possess , it whs of no avail unless be also possessed rv long purse . He was perfectly convinced that

      there wero many men of brighter talent among the working cIrssss , than could be found among their legislative bodies . Many tf the most talented men in tbat House were compelled to resort to unprincipled means —to resort to the Jews at St .- Mary Axe , fora qualification lit fore they couid sit in that House . Parliaments could now sit for seven years , and if Sir Robert had his way , no doubt the present one would ; : but if they were united it would not -sit ' six months ? Did they think Annual Parliaments vnmid cause confusion' - ?' - if they did . he was convinced they hart not exasJiinod theCharter , or they would fl :: d it to foe impossible . He would dare to assert tbut . under tho Charter , On election ¦ would take place with far less ciinfuaion-. than-was created by their election of Guatdiaija the other day .

      Mr . Brown then went into several of the minute details of the Charter , and tho in ode of conducting elections . He was sure they could not object -to : payment of members ; every man was worthy of his hire , and the Parliaments , being annual , if they di&Dpproved of a man's 1 conduct , they could ' . pay and diachaTge him . It was probable , too , that they-might , elect men from the anvil , the bench , or the loom , and ' -ivriRbt men had been produced from all stations . 'in society ; , but this they could not do unless they paid : them . He b . ad heard it whispered , tbat the first thing a Chartist Parliament would do would he to vote themselves a large salary , and to increase it when theyiiked . He believed

      this was a joke ; but as the sum was not fixed in the Charter , he trusted the Convention , at their ensuing meeting , would settle it . The ppeaksr then ably explained the remaining two points , and stated it as his opinion that , under a Chartist Parliament , the present Corn Laws would not be retained twenty-eight hours ; but it was impossible to repeal them with tbe House of Parliament constituted rb at present . The Chartists had manfully maintained their position ; they had fought , aye , and bled in the good cause . Persecution had only increased their numbers . The People's Parliament would speedily assemble in London ; he trusted their decisions would be guided by wisdoui and energy . They should soon see such a procession in the

      Untitled Article

      streets of London as had never before been witnessed ; such a demonstration of strength as would prove they were iletarfflined no longer t 6 submit to the present tyrannic system . If the people were unanimous , they would give"to-their Convention .-such a power aa would euable it to crush every vestige of tyranny . : Ha begged to move the following resolution ;—" That in the opinion of this pablioveatTy , every individual of Sound mind , unconvicted of prime , who baa attained the age of twenty-one years , and resided for three months in one fixed residence , is entitled to exercise the franchise in electing Members of

      Parliament ; that to give tbe electors the free use of this power , they must be in possession of the ballot ; that to render their representatives responsible to their oonstitu * ents , Parliaments muat bo elected annually ; that as wealth confers '' neither Intelligence or ability , the absence of it denotes not the want of those qualities , and therefore there should be no property qualification ; that the representatives should be paid a ilmiteii amount tor their services ; aind that the country should be divided into equal electoral districts ; and this meeting pledges itself not to cease in its exertions uatll all these points shall become the law of the land . "

      Mr . Booth seconded the resolution . Being one of the working millions of this country , he was deeply interested in this question , and not only him but the whole ef his order , and he wa 8 prepared to stand by that order . He considered that on many grounds a change was necessary . The Dake ef Wellington had said that the Constitution was perfect ; that if he had to frame one , though despairins ; of equalling it . be should endeavour to imitate it . He was of an opinion , that if tbe Duke of Welliugton hr . d been a sou of toil ; if he had shared the calamities and privations of the wording classes , he would have entertaihed a very different opinion ; the present system had driven miilions of their fellow countrymen to the very vergo af starvation , and the man , 'the ¦ statesman , was not aliva thai

      could produce a remedy for this distress , without he effected a raiiicaVchange in tlie Constitution ; it mattered not how gigantic mi ght . be his intellect , how grsathia moral character , how sincere his anxiety for their benefit , it was ef no avail without a great political change . The rcBourcea , the ' wants , or the country had outgrown its old worn-out ' Constitution , * and nnlass that Constitution : was altered , the good old ship Britannia wonld soon be lost among the b eafcevs . Look at our population iu the -. manufacturing / district-s ; why , they were living in holes worse thaa the slaves whom'the-. planters ' -conflned in crossing the Atlantic . We have tried the two factions long and often , and he must be .-blinded by prejudice , must be incapable of exercising his judgment , who can loot with '

      complacency upon their actiona When have they ever attempted to do anything' for the good of the public ? Never ; but when aiiy question of party strife was on the tapis , they rushed to tlae House in a manner which would disgjaco an Indian wigwam assembled over their . -. cpunciKSre . ' ¦ He had . ' -never ..-placed any reliance upon the Reform Bill , He bad felt convinced that nought would ho done for the millions until they are represented equally with olhsr classes . The man v ? ho talks of extending the Suffrage to me insutta me . 1 have as much right to talk of extending it to him ; ' he can know but Htteof tho principles or f < eMrja ; s of humanity ' ; , the principles of tyranny are fast waning away . Notwithstanding our wretched condition , hope still animates

      our bosoms from the fact that the rulers cf our destinies are brought ; to a stand still , the syatera has worked out Its own destruction . Do you think that tbe Char-¦ tist-8 oould do worse than the Whigs-. and the Tories have done ? if they did , it must be under the special auspices of a council from PanderaouiiiTi ,- the very name or the Cuarter cirriea on its face honesty of purpos © , - -ita principles are those of reason ' and- of justice , impartially ' . ' nete'd out to all men . He was not surprised that the aristocracy were fearful that their deeds of blood and injustice should be retaliated ; but they need not be alarmed , they need not raise the cry of spoilation ; for though they have act-ed worse by the revenue of this ' notion' th ; ia over the most reckless spendthrift did by his own , yet we will not retaliate ; it is our interest that all classes should enjoy , safsfy and prosperity ; but if things are to remain in their present position , it were far better to go back again to a state

      of nature and subsist upon the fishery and the chase . He would qnoto from the Bifre , for he was proud to acknowledge that he put unlimited faith in thst old book , and there he found it written . titat . lt was better to die of the sword than of hunger ; it would . be almost an a * : of mercy to put to death thousr . r . ds of his distressed starving fellow men , and though , he was comparatively well off , yet he should consider himself as sornethuig less than a man , as a cowardly dastard , if he did not exert his every energy in . endeavouriuj ; to obtain the Suffrage to baneflt thes . i men . He called upon the middle clas 3 to como forward and join in the noble cause of giving freedom and prosperity to themselves and their posterity . The Charter ^^^} uld dispel the thick mists which were gathering round the heads of all . classes of t'ociety ; and liberty would be established on a firm basis , and tyranny disappear" like tbe vnlst before the ri&in sr sun—^( great cheering . )

      Mr ; PtcK . Fom > agreecl -with every one of tho points of the Charter : tliey had been advocated by ons of the deepest thinkers of the age , Jeremy Bentbaiu , and had never been controverted , because truth was incontrovertible ; but , though hfc agreed with the 'Ch ' nrtists , still , in his opinion , they did not go to the root of the evil . Ho went still further ; he vetm a Socialist j he wouUl give the woiueu the SuarR <« 6 —( laughter , and cries of " Hear . " ) But still fce 1 would hot .-Wish - to thwart tho Chartists : he would acivise thorn to go oh , and to Keap a strict eye upon the middle class—to . beware of being cajoled ; and to the men of his own class—the middle class—he would say , that they had now got it in their power , by joining with the working men , to save their country , if thty would , not assist them , the men , being driven .. to desperation , they ¦ would ; be . toe first victims , and their blood would be a& their own doors . He Was ndtu member of the Chartists , but he artmireu their principles .

      The resolution Was put and carried with three dissentients , one of whom , be ng known to be % tax-gatherer , gave rise to a little pleasant snrcasru . Mr . Morrts then rose for the purpose of proposing the National Petition . He did so , because pstitioning was the Only mode left them cf making known their grievances , and while they were acting in this legitimate way , he trusted the middle class would cordially unite and co-operate with them . As an elector and a ratepayer of the parish , he was acquainted with many

      of the middle cIrbs who professed to be Chartists m principle ; he trusted that they would come and put their principles into practice . Tbo last speaker had advocated their cause , but eatd he was not a member : he would remind him that example was better than precept Mr . Morris then produced an enamelled aud si plain card , telling them that one was his Sunday , the other his every-day card ; the Sunday card would bo an ornament to any drawing-room , and would ahaw that its posseasor sympathised with the wants and the distresses el his feilow-men—floud cheers . )

      The Vestry Clerk then moved the National Petition , with an alteration in the heading suitable to the occasion , it being a vestry meeting . GEORGE PeaRCE , Esq ., ( one of the trustees of the parish ) seconded the petition ia a long and able speech in which he stated that he was wished by some friends not to second the petition , lest he should disgrace himself , but he approved of 9-10 ths of the Bentiments in thatpetiiioa and therefore supported it . If they disapproved of it , let them have the manliness to vote against it . Sir . Pearce then went into the evils inflicted by the New Poor LiW Bill , and shewed that equal prejudice bad been raised against granting M . P's to the Metropolitan boroughs . Sir Robert Peel had told him that he would sooner give the Keforni Bill to ' -the whole

      country , than enfranchise the London Boroughs , as there would then al way 3 be radical members elected close to the seat of Government . He believed that the Chartist delegates who had been imprisoned in the various gaols Lad been entrapped by the Whigs . The Whigs got them to do their dirty work , and thenlik * dirty fellows , turned-round and . imprisoned ' , them .- If you do not get . ail you ask , yet by asking largely you will gain more than if you had asked less . He felt proud Of the conduct of the working classes on this occasion , it did honour to them , and he was happy to think that the churchwarden had the inr > raT courage to take the chair . Miltss ' B boy told him that the vicar said the churchwarden had better have been minding his own business . He knew it would not have been held if he could have

      stopped it . J . Goffe , Esq ., addressed the meeting at some length . He . approved of ovciy point of the Charter . Thoy were the principle's of juitice . Tfa « y were rendered necessary by the thiilliBg want which pervaded the countsy , hnt he Imd seme little doubts ' as to whether Universal Suffrage : would not disarrange the balance of power , and swamp the influence of the other classes of society ; he did not impute any tiling wrong or dishonest to the working classea of society , but Le fenew that from th ** experience of ' nil-ages , luon were liable to abuse the possefi » ion of power ; he hoped ho should be set right wi that point . Mr . Brown explained , and in an able manner showed that no danger was to be apprthended from the massfts being possessed of political power .

      Mr . ^ Ebazier , in an address of sreat length , which for eloquence and soundness of orgument we never heard surpassed * completely thrilled his audience with delight ; and ably replied to tho objections of Mr . Gofte . On sitting down he was tremnndously applauded . The petition was then put , and carried unanimously amid great cheering . Mr . Brown soov « d , and Mr . Algak , seconded , " Thatit be signed by the Chairman , engrossed , and presented to the House by Thomas Duncombe , M . P . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Morris moved a vote of thanks to the Churchwarden for theiuse of the workhouse , and for the able mariner in which he had presided ever the meeting ; and likewise to those householders who had signed the requisition . -. ' . - '¦' . Seconded by Mr . BROWN , and carried unanimously .

      Mr . ¦ W oopcock returned thanks in a brief manner , and appiauded them for the manly and orderly manner in which the meeting had been conducted . Thus ended one of the most important meetings ever held in the metropolis . We trust t ± ie goed feeling and unanimity exhibited by the middle classes of ^^ Showsditch will be followed throughout the kingdom .
