      10 MR JAMES H . BEILBY . Sir , —In tho Birmingham Journal of last week I find ihe following bit : — " ilR . James H . Beilbt asd Mr . Feargus O'Cos-XOR . —A correspondent informs us that , in the books of the readmsj-room Mr . Feargus O'Cmnor appears aa a Visitor , introduced by Mr . James H . B = ilby . The interchange of compliment between the Tory and the Chartist is curious and instructive . " Until I saw the above paragraph I was ignorant of the name of the gentleman to whom I owed my thanks for an act of courtesy . The circumstance to

      which the paragraph refer * 13 of sd old a date as probably to have escaped your ntemor } . I beg heTe to remind \ oh that while at Birmingham ( I think in 1838 ) , 1 ' wished to procure a volume of the Mirror of Parliament for reference , and called at the reading-room for that purpose . Biing a stranger , I was missing my way , and * by chance arrested 5 our attention . I asked you if I could procure admission to the V . brirj as a stranger , when you kindly and politely introduced me , and THEN asked my name , for the purpose of complying with a rule which requires the insertion in a book of the name 3 of strangers introduced .

      Sir , such is the charge of the polite Editor of the Blrminyhmm Journal , who now has my best thanks for having afforded me an opportunity of thanking tou by name for your courtesy . Tue Editor informs his readers that you are a Tory ; while I assure him that the bare mention of the act of politeness would have convinced all that you were not a Whig . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , FEARGCS O'CoNJfOB . London , April 13 th .

      BUB . HABX & NEWCASTLE Great Foot Race for One Hundred Pounds a Side . — Durham and Newcastle , or the sporting portion of the citizens of each , have recently been in a high state of excitement in consequence of a match for a race being made between their respective champions , Atkinson of the former place , and Scarlett , or tha " Doctor , " of Newcastle . Thousands assembled to witness the race which took place on Monday , near Chester-le-street . The distance was a quarter of a mile . It was closely and keenly contested for the greater part of the distance , but ultimately Atkinson began to lead his opponent , and finally woa by about five yards- The result was a great loss and " heavy discouragement" to the " Tyne side" lads , who seemed quite sure of their champion winning .

      \ VIGAN " . —Election . The scrutiny ia now orer ; the two parties hare come to a compromise , each having one member . The bitting members are Peter Greenall , Esq ., Tory 1 and Charles Standish , Esq ., Whig . A 5 HBUR . TON , Devon . —The woollen trade still remains most dismal here ; factories are closed , shops ate shut , and no signs of any improvement . Group 3 of men are walking the streets half clad and almost starred . During tho last nine months the woolcombera have have not had three months' work . The pr spects of the labouring population are truly pitiable and heart-rending . On Monday night last several artisans left this their native town , for America , among whom many were members of the Chartist As-ociation here , but who , on account of the depressed Etate of trade are obliged to seek employment in other climes .

      BRADFOHD . — Op ? osition to tue New Poor Law . —Tnis day is sent off from ibis town , petitions praying for a total repeal of the New Poor Law , and a return ta the 43 d O" Elizabeth , signed by i . early 10 , 000 persons , to be pre « enud in tke House of Commons , by John Hardy , Esq ., M . P ., and in the Hou-e of Lords , by the Right Hon . Earl Stanht-pe . Petuions also to the same effect , from the Ministers of the Gospel , and every township ia the . Bradford union , have been prepared . MANCHESTER . —During the last fortnight , several reductions have been made by the c < sttoii raa > iers of several firms in this town , in Koine instances mechanics have been reduced as much as e ghz shillings—overlookers from four to five shU-] inns—weaverd two shillings a pair of looms—and ail the hands ; n the mills in a similar ratio .

      BABKSLB 7 . Drabbett Weavers . A rumour wa 3 afi at early thia morning , ( 12 th inst ,, ) that it was the intention of four of the drabbett manufacturers to reduce wages twenty per cent , upon those goods . A meeting of the weavers took p'aca this a ' tcrroon , on the May Day Green , and afff-r a committee had been farmed , the meeting was sojourned undi seven o ' clock at night ; in the interval betw «> en the afternoon and night meetings , a depu ation waited upon Me-srs . Pickles , Hydes , Wood , and Frudd , te ascertain whether it was their determination to persevere in loweriug the price of

      labour . Tne answer given to the deputation , by those £ -. ntlemea , was to the effect that they had no desire t- > redeem Trages , thai Tf ajjes were already too low , and if the weavers themselves would not work for o : he ? Srms for anything hss , they , the masters , woul i continue to pay the old prices . At the seven o ' clock meeting , which was very numerous , the following resolution was adopted by the workmen — " That we , the weavers of Barnsley , ( in public meeting assembled , ) are determined iiot to work drabbtt-S , or any other "work , at anything Bhort Of the gen > "ral li > t prices of the town . "

      CHOEXJ 3 T — Awful Accident . —On Wednesday , April the 6 zh , the Rev . W . V . Jackson , of ilanchesUT , delivered a lecture in the Chartist Association Room , on the remedy for national poverty . Long before the time of lecture , the room was crowded to suffocation , and numbcM could not gain admission . Mr . Jackson was received iu the most cmhusias-tie manner , and was introduced t ' j the meeting amidst loud cheers . The lecture had occupied about half an hour , and just as he was speaking oi the superiority of the Charter , and the people were listening with , the RTtatebt attention , as sudden as a clap of thunder , tho beams supporting the floor snapped in the middle , and the hundreds of people went down together on the ground floor , a distance of about nine or ten feet . To

      describe the scene that ensued would be impossible , The people were in the greatest state of cGnfusion , while a cloud of dust darkeued the place , and nearly suffocated them . The Rev Gentleman , who fell upon his feet , spoke to the people to pacify them as much as possible , and told those who were on the top of the rest to get out as soon as they could with as little injury to those nnder them as possible ; they did so , ana the place was cleared without any one being killed . We are sorry to say one man had his collar bone broken , and his shoulder joint dislocated ; another man's thighs were seriously injured , and a many others were slightly bruised . Mr . Jackson was a little lamed in the arm and foot , and his face was rather bruised . With these exceptions , no further injury was sustained .

Bbown-strebt . —On Sunday afternoon last , there was a members' meeting in the Brown-street Chartist Room . Mr . Hargreaves was called to the chair , The first business brought forward was relative to the opening of the Carpenters' Hall to-morrow ( Sunday ) , the Council having taken that building for the purpose of Sunday's lectures , in consequence of the crowded state of the rooms on Sunday evening ^ owing to the rapid spread of our principles . After a short discussion , it was resolved that , there be only two lectures delivered at the opening , one in the

      afternoon , and the other in the evening . The next question discussed was as to who should be appointed to deliver the lectures , every one admittim ; that there wtre likely to be large audiences , and therefore the most prudent to have the best talent for the occasion ; and it was subsequently agreed that Mr . D . Ross , the Lecturer on Elocution , and now Chartist Lecturer , should lecture in the afternoon , and that Mr . William Jones , of Liverpool , and late West Riding Lecturer , should lecture in the evening . After other business connected with the movement was transacted , the meeting dispersed .

Mr .

      Harney , seconded by Mi-, Pa , rkea , moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairma . " ; . Mr . Rogers replied . He-was , he eaid , but a young man , but being thoroughly convinced of the truth of the principltiS they . had heard enforced , he was determined to do his share of the labour nectssary for their establiskment . And no matter what might be the opposition or persecution he should meet , he had registered a vow in heaven , and than vow he would keep , never to flag in his endeavours , or cease to battle with the enemies of freedom , until he saw the liberties of liia country established . The meeting was very numerously attended , and the deepest attention was paid to the many statements of the speakers . An Association was afterwards formed , and a considerable number enrolled , including two county voters .

      The Stvrge Conference . —Mr , Brooke , of Bradford , one of the delegates to the Sturge Confereuce , passing through Shtffieid on Saturday , on his return home , was solicited by the Council to address the Chartists on Sunday evening ; Mr B . complied . A crowded audience assembled on Sunday evening , in the National Charter Association room , Fig Treelane , to hear Mr . B . Mr . Royston was called to the chair ; Mr . Brooke gave a lengthy and interesting account of the proceefiiitga of the Conference / sererai questions having been asked , and answered by Mr , B ,, Mr . Harney rose and said lie considered it to bo the duty of the Chartists of Sheffield to lose no time in giving expression to their opinions upon the proceedinns of the Ssurgites ; with the view of testing their sentiments , he had since entering the meeting , prepared a reselution which he would presently submit to them ; they had heard from Mr . Brooke , 1

      that all the principles of . theCharter had been adopted by the Conference , but the name had been rejected , why waa this ! The pretence set UP was , that while the members of the Conference had themselves no objection to the name , their constituents had , and that to adopt the name . ot' the Charter would be to undo all that had been done , for they would frighten the middle-class to whom the Dame of the Charter was detestable ; this was all cant and . humbug ; it was not the name , but the principles of the Charter that were too oriious to the middle-class . If that class thought you would be satisfied with the name , and anything short of the entire principles , they would adort the name to-morrow . It had been asked "what's in . a . name ? " —very often everything . >* Words are things , " said Byron , arid this holds good of the name of our Charter , he doubted very much whether those who Ejected the ! name , would not , when the crisis came , betray the principles

      if . " the people trusted- them . ( Loud cheering . ) Messrs . Lovett and Vincent were of the majority , that had rejeoted the name of the Charter , and curious enough , these g entlemen were two of the committee of six working men who , together with six members of Parliament , drew up the People's Charter , and christened it by that name ; these men had suffered too , as Chartists , and yet they permitted the name—that name made glorious by the petseoutiou of those who adopted it , to be sacrificed . It appeared from the statements of Mr . Brooke , that the organisation agreed upon by the conference to carry out the principles they had adopted ' , was a modification of the plan of Lovett and Collins , to be re-christened by . th « high .-8 oun . ding title of

      " Rational Complete Suffrage Union .

Here was a censnre cast upon all those who . had suffered imprisonmerit or exile . He asked were

      Lovett , Collins , and Vincent lf > gal and constitutional agitators in 1839 I Why were they silent while good men and true were censured ? What had this conference done or attempted to do for the Welsh exiles ? or for the victims yet lingering in prison I Nothtnir . The whole scheme was one to get rid of O'Connor , Leachv M'Douall and the Other staunch and tried leader .- * of the people ; butj thank God , the schome would miserably fail . Mr . Harney concluded [ by moving the adoption of the following resolution ; r— " That this meeting having heard from Mr . Brooke , a report of the proceedings of the Sturge Conference , consider the scheme of agitation agreed to by a majority of that body to be unworthy the confidence and support of

      the people . And this meeting pledges itself to stand by the National Charter Association , and never to abandon either in name or principle , that great palladium of equal rights and equal laws , the People ' s Charter . " Mr . P . M . Brophy late secretary to the Dublin Universal Suffrage Associatiori , seconded the resolution . Id his opinion , the men who rejected the name , rejected in their hearts the principles of the Charter . The mere presence of that heart-load of morality , that vile sycophant df O'Counell's—^^ Tom Steele , at the Conference , was sufficient to Satisfy him of the honesty of the men who could endure the ) 3 rese « ce of such a man as him ; this fellow too to ypit his venom upon the English Chartists as being physical-fore men ; whv Steele

      himself could not talkfor fiveminutes withcut threatening pikes and sabres . O'Cbnnell called him by way of nick-name the pacificator of Ireland : he , to talk of not joining the •* ' will Feargusitcs ! "' there was a very good reason for that , they would not join him— - ( cheers . ) He called upon them never to abandon the name of the Charter , i '» was a glorious Hanio —tho terror of tyrants , the dread of knayee , they had suffered for it , they were proud of it , aid he trusted they would never yield it to the Svurgeites or any other schemers .
