"We , for once , feel an interest , tfccngh by no means a pleasurable oae , in referring oar readers to ihe sayings of the middle-clas 3 House of Representatives . We have given elsewhere a full report , of the debate on Mr . Dukcoubb ' s motion , and the most ¦ valuable debate that has occurred in that House during our time;— valuable , as evincing , if forthfcr e-ridencs had "been necessary , the real character of the middle- class advocates for liberty , and the true prospects and only resource of ths people . Comment , for the present , is out of the question ; we
reserve -what we may have to say till we shall have more space , and rill a week ' s reflection shall have prepared the people to receive and estkaite it without excitement . Meantime , tva entreat them not to permit the contumely of their oppressors to esh ^ tist their patience ; it would but give the ¦ wroiehes too -mcch pleasure to see endurance , having reached iis limit , burst the bond of prudence . We have sever expected , nor encouraged the people to expect , any better result from thi 3 motion . We giTe here the Eames of those who voted for Mr . Docombs ' s moaon as we find them in the Sun .

THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONTENTION DELEGATES . We have s iren a report of the proceedings attendant on the presentation of the Petition , as copious as cc-uld be , save those attendant on the dinner at White Conduit House , where above sis hundred sat down , the tickets being half-acrown . Th-3 chilr was Jaken by Dr . Peter M . iTDonall , the vice-chair by Mr . Leach . On the
Tight of the Chairman sat Thomas Dancombe , Esq . ; on the ie . % J . T . Leader . Esq ., and Feargus O'Connor , Esq . The head table was occupied chiefly by Members of the Convention . Amongst them ilr . Duncan , ( President of the Convention ) , -and Messrs . Jltir , Roberts , O'Br : en , Lowery ^ Leach , Doyle , Mason , M'Pherson , Philp , Williams , Bairstow , Ridley , Sec . < 5 cc . The ConTennon sittings He have been compelled to reserve .
We give below the leltsr of Mr . O'Connor , in which some reference is made to one snVjset of the deliberation of that body , and upon which we may hereafter have a word to say ; for the present the petition , i ^ s presentation , and reception , are the great matters of attention . That Petition , signed by Three-and-a-half MiD ; ons of People ! has sealed ths doom of faction , and made sure the foundation of the people ' s triumph 11 !
TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . Mr ezlovsb Fkizxds , —I really know not how I am to commence my communications of this week , it has been so full of Chartism ' . On Monday morning all was bustle and excitement in the neighbourhood of " Ocb . Horss "— each
man vieing with his fellow in rendering all the assistance in his p ^ wer to make our demonstration as powerful as possible . At ten minutes past twelve the beixtitcl xeixg was ready for hoisting upon the shoulders of the Trades' Delegates , who had been selected a-s bearers of the muster roll of the nation ' s will to ths House of r > -Commons . Sixteen good men and me were just able to mcrve under ths names of
3 , 317 , 752 !!! We marched from our Convention Room to Lincoln ' s-inn-nelds , where all was life and bustle The hive was fall . I cannot attempt any description of the enthusiasm ! The life that animated one animated all . We were S 3 one man . Our procession , took one rout and ten minutes t-o pass one spot . Procession did I say ? we had no procession 1 it was a dense mass of streets fall I ' . Procession , means a number of persons mar shalled four or five a-treast , but our numbers could not have berU marshalled . The Times allow us
aOjOoO . . New you may safely multiply that by 10 . It was acknowledged by all that it was the largest the very largest gathering of people that ever was Been in London . Our Petition smashed the door frames of the narrate House—h broke them in pieces—it took foxty or fifiy men to csrry in the fragments . I took a famous lump on ray shoulder to the table of the Honse . Bees ' ey also had a share of it . Isot one drunken E-n was to be seen in London on the 2 ~ d ilsy , lZi' 2 . Was I then rrrorg in my opinion of the Chartists of London ? Our dinner was as glorious as our demonstration , Bui what I esteem as—io mystlf—the rreatest tricmrh . is this : aftsr
mu' . uai expiana'icn , aud a Ta * . hsr angry debate , I tad the pleasure , amid the most rapturous applasse , to balk the wily and disappoint the artful , by sliakln . i ; hands with J ; m ? s Broiiterre O'Brien ; and bury f-.-r erer all hope of o'Jr enemies' triumph through our cis-arion . No , my beloved friends , no private feelings of my own shall ever enter into your councils . I will always sarrender private feeling to public duty £ ut , mark me , I b ' ave no feelings—I never had asy feelings but those of affection , regard , and love for
O'Brien . 33 ai it is now done j and , therefore , my friends , let h b ? aijiioanced to ihe world that disunion of your friends ? 1 : " : ! 1 not injore your cause . Weil , I attended in the House last night , to hear the debate on your Pelition . The Srst hoar was spent in pri-Tate bill business , cLnrch business , and enclosure of poor men's land business . For that honr the House TVfcs too small to hold li cur representatives" but the EiG 2 i 52 i out champion . Duncombe , vras called upon toita : e your ci =-.-, the-, by degrees , the House flllriT '/ ir ? twI C- » -- —J 3 * . i o ^^ ? " ! ,- » T ^^ -wyt n-nA iJuanedtin jj J t 0 iz the and

Suffice it to fay , my friends , that whai yonr Convention decrees , I , as ones will sacrifice my life , if necessarv , to carrv onfc .
Nothing can equal the bravery , the decision , and unanimity of your delegates . Not one word of disunion ; bnt all , on the contrary , endeavouring to soothe down anger and heal differences . 0 , how different from the middle- c ! as 3 Convention of AtttreoditeSj CobbeuiteSj and Londonites !

tae Gead lights of Whigcery and Toryism . I Ehall not fail to " discharge my duty to the cause , although I have no skin on my heels or ancles . It was trod off in the procession : and I feal a secret pleasure , as I haye had my blood shed ,, also to have cast my skin , but not my principles , in the good cause . No power but the power of Chartism could have mustered the numbers that vre mustered en Monday . Every house , every hole , and every corner is now full of the demonstration on Monday . It has paraded Chartism in open day , and brought us under the eye of tha heretofors blind . They ask what it was ? and echo auswers ' * Liberty , "
> Y e hive ' no chance whatever from the House oi I Commons ; our Charter mus : be carried out of the j House before it is ev « n umptrately discussed m the I House . j The Tories did their work with a slyness peculiar 13 their order . Sir Jaaies Graham knew that the word " fire , " though scf ;] y siren , would insure the discharge of the heavy artillery of Whiggery , and j sure enough Macaulay took ths hint , and under j the Tory General the Whigs did are away ! But no matt-tr ; Dancombe- and Leader stood to { heir j posts like men , and like Chartists . j During this dav , of conrse something will bo done j
tomaintain the position which we have now acquired . Be not intimidated ! be not down-hearted !! be not influenced-by the House of Commons' defeat . We are now discussing the subject of "denunciations ' . ' in the Northern Siar ; b at , my friends , you must j take cp the Star and investigate it , and endeavour to j point out to me and to the country the name cf any j one individual who has been denounced by Foar ^ us j O'Connor or the Siw , who was not first denounced ' by the people , for some act of tergiversation or injustice to the people . Was I to submit to the denunciation of tha men of the Champion , of Dr .
Fietchtr , of Mr . Collins , of Mr . Hume , of Mr . Hetheriog ' . on , of Mr . O'Conucll , of the Church j Chartists of Glasgow and Birmingham ?—I ask , was 1 ' to bear the fire and not to retaiiata \ Is not every ' , man aware that the first fire has been at Feargus ' O'Connor , and the Star , as that paper was the j great cock-shot to fire at ! But ami so foolish as I not to know well , that every leader injured is an j injury done to all , and to the cause generally ?' Tnerci " ore , now hear me ! judge for yourselves ! and I
come weal some woe , whenever I discover anything calculated to injure you , I will proclaim it from the watch-tower !! I tell you that public censorship is neecssary and requisite ; and as long as I live , I will not shrink , from the responsibility ; but it shall always be against measures and not against men . No power of open foe or pretended friend shall ever place me in the false position of allowing the mine to spring under our feet , without warning you of our common danger .
. You must look to the position of ths Editor of the Xorfiiern Star ; and bear in mind that both the Ed : tor and myself are charged with the insertion of every resolution passed at public meetings , just as I am charged with' every violent word spoken by Attwood , Muntz , Douglas , Stephens , Lovetr , Collins and others . Now , also . b » . ar in mind that the Star has published every letter of Fletcher , Hetherintton , Duncan , of Edinburgh , Hill , of the Star in the East , Richardson , and others : all were
published . - i The Editor of the Star all but denounced me for my letter upon Church Chartism , Tectotalism and j Knowl . dg ^ Chartism . Did I reply to it ? No ; I left pnblic opinion to right the thing ; and events i prove that I was then right , as 1 now find that men ; who have professed themselves infidel ? , have become ' preachers of Church Chartism . This is shocking , ; odious ! and hypocritical ! Let all be union now ; : forget the past , and prepare for thefutme . Onward i and we coaouer , backward anJ we fall . !
The . Whigs have shown themselves in their true colours ; and yet the old Whig adnrirsLtration is the substitute -which the Corn Law Rtpealcrs off-r us ; for those now in office ! Let no ; cur cause be injured . by artful and designing men , who would sacrifice millions for the restoration of Whig dominion , without desiroying the veaum of Toryism . I am I of opinion-that by courage and prudence we can beat both , and "injure property" by substituting Char-: tism for both . i Your futhful friend and servant , I Feasgcs O'Cosnoil i London , Wednesday , May 4 , 1842 . j - _ .-..-. i

BIRMINGHAM . —A most lamentable accident occurred in the parish of St . Thomas , on Monday . Two young men had a quarrel respecting a girl , aud agreed to decide it by fistic argument . They met accordingly , and one of the young men by name - 'Hex-ley , finding that he stood a good chance of being beaten , made a battering vamcf his head , and hit his opponent so forcibly on the breasc wiih it , that he unseated his heart , aud the death of the young man was svliaosfc infataiJiuiieous .
BEApPO 3 lE > . —A public meeting cf the unemployed operatives took place on an open space of ground , in front of t he Oddk Hows' Hal ] , Thonifonroad ; a requisition wns presented to the constable , requesting him to convene tho-raeetiut ; , but ho having declined , tho requi&ifc'ojiists cullsct the mfeting themselves , for Thm'oday , at one o ' clock . Mr . Ciarkson , attorney , was called to the chair . A 3 r . Dawhirst moved the following resolution : — " Tl ; at we , i tho unemployed operatives in the town of Bradford j and its vicinities , amidst the intensity of our sufferings and misery , do most respectfully ask for the interposition of the-magistrate ' s in our behalf , and that a memorial be adopted to tho above
functionaries . " Mr . Rueben Pye seconded the resolution , which was unanimously carried . Mr . Edwards moved the memorial to the magistrates , which setforth tlyeir distress in very strong language , and that if their distress was not mitigated and relieve J , the consequences would be foarful to covi ' - emplaie . Mr . Edwards made-a short but an excellent speech or tho sufferings-. of the operatives of the whole kingdom , and called on those who possessed such largo heaps of wealth , tho produce of their hands * to coaic forward at this critical . juncture to relieve their
necessities . Mr . Dix-Hi swended the motion , wViich was carried without a dissentient . Mr . Gi Fiinn moved , aud Mr . Brook seconded , that four persoiis bts deputed to present tho memorial to the magistrates , and eni ' orce its prayer , which was aiso adopted . MeSarSiJJewhurst , Edwards , Dixon , and Clarke were appointed . The adjournment of the meeting to Monday next was agreed upon , to hear the result of the conference with the authorities . The meeting then separated . Tho poor fellows seemed in a sad forlorn state , and their countenances bore evident marks of the want of foed .
Anticipation of the Income Tax , —A large worsted spinnev , and a very pious Baptist ^ made a reduction in the wages of his woolcombers of twenty per cent , last Saturday . Wool that was 5 d . per pound he has now reduced to 4 d . ; and for sixmpnths previous to the reduction , the sorts had boen made l £ d . or 2 d . par pound worse than they had been ; so that the reduction Within the last half year amounts to upwards of forty per cent . ; so much ifor piety . ' He is not the only one that has made inroads into the comfort j of the toil-worn slave . There are masters in Bradford that are paying their Woolcombers the enormous sum of l | d . for ' cpinbing English wools . Trade is indeed very badj hundreds of the poor fellows are daily parading the streets without any employment ; and we fear their condition is becoming desperate .

We gave last week an account of all the ' veatry ; meetings that had then taken place , when tha meeting stood ' - ' adjourned-. to Mocday evening , at which time there was a very full attendance . . ' .-. In cohseqaeiice of the Court House being ocenpied by T . H . Marshall , Esq ., who was holding a Conrfc of Kequests in the large court , ifc was half-pasfc seven ' . o ' elook before Mr . Roberts took th 0 6 hair The Ghaikman , in opening the business , acquainted the meeting with the business which was under discusion when the Wednesday evening's adjournment
took piace , and read over Mr . iJarrs proppsitjon . Mr . GEO . NbwtoNj in a few brief remarks , opposed the bill altogether , whioh he dec . ared was unnecassary , the ratepayers being already burdened sufficient ^ with expenses , without an addition of five or six thoupand pounds for obtaining a New improvement Bill . Hedidnot care what the House of Commons thought , he should support the amendments introduced , in ^ preference to the original bill . Mr . THos . pixon replied at some length to the remJifkK-iaade'b y Mr . Barr , and tlie ' principles cpntanied in his resolution , and contended that the sIterations introduced had been adopesd after mature deliberation by the meetings . which had been held , at which both considerable time and great attention had been devoted to theobiect . ¦
Mr > Frazeb . followed in a spoech of great length , and of 6 urpassing eloquence . He thought it was aa insult to the meeting and to the ratepayers ' generally , to tell them- that : the '' . amendments which had beea introduced were not such a 3 could be beneficially carried out . He took the opportunity of raplying to some remarks in an article in the Leeds Mercury of Saturday'last , and contended in favour of the araendmeuts which had been adopted , arguing fot the principle of a aradaated scale of taxation , so ¦ that the-working classes-mij ? h *» be" . inoivj leniently taxed than their emploser ' s . ' Twopence in the pound ,
r : e contended , was sufScieni for a working' man to have to pay out of his earnings ; and this was tha scale he trusted the nieuting would abide by . With tho . avnouument adopted hi reference to the tolls of the freo market he did not agree , because ho thought ; it was making a ciass diatiiicuou , aud legislating fur one class of tho . coininunity at the eipenco of another . . Mr . IrlOBiiVsoN ^ who said he- w . is a small tradesman , s-Tgued ; against the .- "introduction- of . the ' . ' graduated scale , of taxation , aud wouid have all classes to pay tho game ;} mount' cf rate per pound , let that aBaounb be fixed at vVhat it miarht . ;
Mr . Thomas'Morgan pointed out the inconsisl *' euces and incqualitiiis of the proposed , graduated pcalc , whi ' eh ; he characterified as - dishonest and unjust . He was in favour of one uniform scale , and v / ould exempt cottages under £ 6 rent from being rated at all . Mr . Summrrs , decorative artist , put some questions to' Mr . Barr , . as to whether , in the event of his resolution- being oarre 1 , he would consent to admit into tho- bill , amendments a . 3 to the tirno of holding the ineetntgSj say . ' April or May , iuetead of January ; as to tln Kibit ) tut : on in certnin cases of affirmations in . slcad of oaths and as to the amount of fine to bo levied by tha ' ma . sistrafes- on parties who are found guilty of .-cxposiiijt'fur' sale ' unsound meat .
Mr . Bark replied that the first point was metin the bi ! l ; that so far as the second was concerned , tho tinvs for holding the annual taeethig had been fixed after * iuo deliberation , by- " the commissioners thomsolves ; and the last was also -met . by the bill , which provided a maximum fine of £ 5 . 'Mr .. Joshua H . obson , after some excellent observations , during tlie delivery of which he was loudly applatido-. i i proposed the following amendment : — - " Tii-. it ua . tbe legal . gentleman , wao has mainly had the charge of the proposed - . Leeds Improvement Bill , has . publicly siKKiied hi 3 intentioa of abandoning all farther professional connection with that bill , because of the alterations and liitrudraents made init by this vestry Niec-tina ; and as , under these civcumstances , and , the
c-xtrao . rdi * ary and . ' uuwar / antably hostiJe positions assumed t . wards the vestry by tue Town Council and tho Borough Macihtrates , there is little , i £ any , prospKcfe of the proposed bill passing the Parliament in a shape corfonnablo to tho wiehes of tbe majority of the persona vrli' j wili be affected by the measure ' -should it bucjnie h : w ; and as there p . -re now before Parliament certain public bills for rotsulatina : buildings and effecting improvements in cities and borouglis , which bills if jjiissed into lavv ( of which there is every reasonable prospect ) , v ? 5 U niiiiuly accomplish tho objects Bought to bo accoiuplished . 'by the new Leeds Improvement Billit is the deliberate opinion of this vestry meeting that the rcesfc judicious and sr . fo course -will be to abandon nil iui-iher Drostcation of the Leeds Improvement Bill , aud petitiou . Parliament to in : ike the public bills 03 tllici-jnt as poHsibie , and to pass them without delay .
Tins course will save the tos ? n a great amount of . espe nce , and . pfeyeut any section of the . inhabitants from goim ; to parliament with u private bill ( hayiog a general sanction cf the inhabHarita in vestry asaeiubled ) , ; huI there , from their party , political , and legislaterial iiifliiencc procure the passing of ihe bill in a shape to suit t ' aeir own oarty aad ciass iutereats , but in a , shape ohjtictionable to the majority of the inhabitants . This meeting , therefore , composed as it ia of the owners and secupifarQ of property in tb . a borovigh of . Leeds , witli-( Iraws its gcnei-al sanction f-jruieriy given to tho new LstttU improvement Bill ,, and forbids amy party from fioint ; to Parliament , and thtre psosecuting the measure in their name , unles 3 sue , h party will afford all reasonable guAiantae to tLis meeting , thai they will endeavouc to 'carry into , full efi- 'ect the alteratiorjs and flniensmonfs ( butii in principio and detail ) agreed upon . by this ijifctiting /' -r-CamtKL
Mr . Bexjamis K . nowles seconded the amendment . - , ' . '• .:. . ¦ - . ;; . '" Mr . B \ v ; u then replied on the whole question , and went into a detail of the oiroutnstances connected wi 5 h the bill i ' rom the first eommenceinen ' t of its formation , the reasons which had led to it , the measures adopted with regard fo it , and the oonduct of the Magistrates- and Town ( Council after the amendments introduced by the vestry meetings . He gave his own candid opinion that with those amendmeii tsihe bill could not nass Parliament ; this was also tho opinion of the Parliamentary agent , of his friend Mr Eddi ? on , the Tmvn Clerk , and he would ask , without knovvii ) . ^ h is opinion at all—he would ask Mr . Naylor , the clerk to the commissioners , what his opinion was upon the question . Mr . Nayloe . save a , concurrent opinion .- ;
Mr .

Tho CHAmMiN then pnt the amendment- and the original res . oliitaoii . to tho meeting , and the former was carried by an overwhelming majority , amidst great cheering . , Mr .
