STOCKPOST
SHOPOGRATSMEETING—JUSTICE AND FAIR . UESS OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES . A numerously signed requisition having been presented io tha Mayor , to convene & public meeting of the diopkeep £ re , Innkeepers , and retail dealers , and owners cfcotfcj ^ e property , he called a meeting at ten o ' cfocfc j 3 Monday forenoon , at the Court House , for commencing business . So deep an interest did these ' * intelUgenlS" take in tbe meeting that there vere only " two * ' in the room . Outside the Court Room door stood fee "working men , and the rain fain g in torrentr . Tsro policemen and a leather-lipped preventive
¦ were placed outside , to stop the Chavtfsts from going in . About ten minutes past eleven , the Mayer and 3 few understrappera entered the room , -when tbe Mayor proeetcl&d to take the chair . At this time there were about fifry or sixty intelligent profit-mongers and property mea in the room . Seeing they would have no meeting , the Mayor issued orders to allow the working men to come in ., to fcl up the vacant epace . la consequence of ths rain filling so very heavy , tbe greats part of the working men bad gone home . Two resolutions , relating to the distressed stata of the Borough ¦ we r * passed , when
2 tfr . Bagahaw , a " lateral , " ( which 18 , by the ¦ way , a very convenient term , ) proposed a resolution to the effe « t , that tfce restrictions on commerce "weie the cause Of the distrtsa . Jlr . Wood seconded the resolution . 2 k ! r . T-omas Ciarlc then cams forward , amidst the acclamation of the meeting . He said he had tfcat Cay IisttJ 2 « rd to the recital of facts of the mo-t revolting natnr-2 . He heird of men of property bti-g almost mined , of fchopfctepers having expectations of going to the Biitile . He wa 3 sorry to find such an amount of distrrfs , teciuse th « working class was the greatest
sufifer-rs . ; Loud crie 3 of " Hear , bear , t ^ ar . ") Mr . Clark went on at some length to ascribe the distress which had been so feelingly portray&d to tae ojxrniiions cf e ? 2 ss legislation , and not solely to that 01 the h ' . nrs restiictinz commerce . Having made some alli . « : on to tae depntAtlon recently stnt 10 London , not by the ishsbit&uts of Stockport , bet by about -some "hundred or so cf itoplads , the Mayor rosa and toid Mr . Clarke he had no right to broach his Chartist pr inciples at tfcat meeting . &r . Ciaxk—Oh , iedted , Sir ! Why d'd you not stop the preceaiag speakers when they introduced the question uf tha Corn Laws ?
Ihe iiayor—That is quite different Y on know . < Ir . Clark tbfry ilid not mention the Charter . lir . Clark—I am aware of that ; and that is the very reason why I do mention it . The Mayor—Then , Sir , I cannot allow you to proceed . Mr , Clark—Then , Sir , you neither can nor shall prevent Hie from proceeding . I . Sir , have as much ri ^ ht to stiTiBce my opiiiions as any other individual . - Tfcc Mayer—But before you proceed , en what ground do you dt-mand a hearing ? Dj you come under any of xho ^ e several denominations ?—you are not a shopkeeper , cr anything of that sort ! air . Clark— O yes , Sir , I have the honour to raEk &m-.-u «; st the profit-mongers . ( L ^ a ^ hter aud co riu 3 ion . j Ine Mayor—Yon must not g ( j on . 2 » lr . Ciark—I must go on .
Tne masting by this time had become quite uproarious , the int&iiigeiits roaring like mad bolts , the workingmen shouting ' so on . " The Mayor Tried again * o get a htairin ^ , but the working men were bo disgusted et his conduct , xtiat they wotf-d not tear a word he hud to say . r-. e then turned to Mr . Clark in the most sapplicatlng manner , as much as to say " do pacify them /* Mr . dark then rose and got him a bearing . He stated that he had always tctsd fair taward 3 the Chartists , bm this time he hoped we should all be unanimous . Now ha hoped iir . Clark would not disturb tne unanimity of the meeting .
Mr . Clark—Its uas , the two first resolutions passed ncoj .- ; . < ossd , as they related to distress only , but tee V- ~ 't ' . proposes es a remedy , the r-p = sl of thelaws restTx :: c » commerce ; ail the other six speakers were a ! owrd to & * . y whatth . y thought proper ; du : when he rose : o propose as a reiae-Jy Hia People's Charter , be "was told he had bo right ; but he should , to settle the question , move an amendment for the Peoples Cuarter —ietstrs and groaasi . Hiving read the amendment , he vras procc-edin ^ to . speak to it . when tha -Vliiyor rosa in a 5 . x of rage , an * . ss . id he should not allow 2 dr . C . aik to sa . y anything about the Ccarttr . Mr . Cark—You eannot help ysursslf . I am orJy extrcsing a light which the laws of lbs country , bad as trie" are , have guaranteed me . "
Hrrre uia . Mayor again interfered " , and the scene which enioitrd bt- ^ ars description . Pot-b-. liied respectables dEinniiis the ChartUts 2 nd Mr . Ciark , for cistoibhiz thr harmony of the meeting . The workingmen standing firm to their order , and declaring thit Mr . Ciark sL-aJd be heard ; the iJayor expressing his determination not to hear the Charter mentioned . The npr- « ar still continnsd , and during the interval of Mr-C ; ari s rising and the Msyor interrupting him , several " inttiiigenta" ha-3 been Btnt out to scrape fc .-getfe . er all thf tbiags they could possibly find , to assist the rtspectat > : — iuJiies ir . pntting Mr . Clark down .
When these t-Tnls . sarieJt returned with their yelping curs , th-: Mayor saia he 'would put it to the nietting ¦ whetDer or not Mr . C ^ rk should be heard . This Mr . C > :--ik protested against , a 3 he saw through the trick . The Mayor , however , featked by bis things , put It to lie Eic- - -n > jg , wucn he declared the msj miy t 3 be a ^^ inst br .: ri .- ; g ~ jir . Ciwk .

those principles on our bubalf for T ? fiich this patriot gave up his l * , fe on the shrine of his country . Though Hoiberry was a yonng man , like myself , naturally enthusiastic in all that concerned his country , be it not supposed that he was indiscreet or ill-advised in the course he took . You all kno'w on what evidence I and my friend Balwell were sent to prison . You fenow wall tbat the witnesses against us were men who had neither the fear cf man or God before their eyes . My suffering ¦ w&s nothing compared to what Holberry endnred—he had betn two year ? in prison , kept from all friendly intercourse with his friends , notallowod even to interchange a . smile , or kind word , with one who loved him as dearly as her own life . "When he found that he was sinking , that fce was daily getting worse , he wrote a letter to a
friend , in which he said , ' that unless he Ehostiy was nst ' . Ttrd to liberty , he should sink into the grave ; " and t * shov : the spirit of this good man , let me state that in this very gaine letter be saia , that he would rather that such should be the case than he become & burden to bis friends . ' Yi 3 t so pure a spirit , so good a man , met with no sympathy from his enemies ; no , they mast indulge their thirst for persecution in tbe blood of the martyi . tCrie 3 cf shame . ) Tbe Secretary of State , though he had ccrtificat--3 from the doctor of the prison , stating that Holberry would not long survive if not discharged , did not see grounds fco justify him to recommend her Majesty to grant his discharge . Now , friends , let mu ask , would it not kave be ^ n better thai Holberry had died at once on the scaffold ?—( hear ,
bear . > -forin that case he would not have lingeredhis i-ufiVrings would soon have been over ; the cares about his wife , whom he thought was unprovided for , w&aM not long have hcontecl his solitude , nor the " proud man ' s contumely" cor l > insolence of omce " lf > j ) g disturbed his repose . But he was not sentenced to death j but tbtn be waa poor . Bad he been a rich man , ha wouM not have died in prison . The TVhig Secretary of State did not suff . r Mr . 0 Connor to die in prison ; nor Mr . Robeita lone to remain there , after it w , is known that he was in ill health . Thus we perceive that weaJth has every pnTile . se , every advantage , whi ! ts honest poverty is pressed to tho earth—( hear , bear . ) Is this right ? Is this consonant with the Christian doctrine , ' do unto othtrs as you would be
done by ? " This distinction will be raada till the working classes are represented in the Huuse of Comm > ms —( cheers ) Holberry knew this ; he saw with indignation that this ncjust distinction wan made , contrary to ail sound morality and divine law . He saw , too , in sorrow , uppn what plea the poor man was obliged to starve in a land of plenty . He saw feow unjurtiy things were manastd ; he ww a stnte church shallowing up annually twelve rniilions of money , ^ rune from the toil and sweat of the iminitrious millions ; he knew we have th > r Queen receiving every jv ^ r ni ore than is found necessary to carry on alt the tffiirs of the American Government He kn * w , too , that the army and navy co 5 > t upwards of fourteen ir . 5 Utons every year in one
way or another- He knew a ;! ; his , and , with * ncn knowkrtije , is it su ^ prisirg tbat he became a Chartist agitator ? He knew that CRir'ism was the only means of renjedyinz this state of -things , hence he became z- » 3 on ? ly aff << ted in its advocacy . Let ua , then , cherish his Hjernnry in our souls , and let us imitate his conouct . so ga » d , so patriotic . Ltt us show to the world that he b&s not died in vi-in . ami let us tuch the eDrmy that his deatb—that the dpath of Claytonthat the imprisonment of 300 aiid more of our brethren -that the banishment vt Frost . "Williams , and Jones , have but served to animate iis to n ^ -v exertion * JL-t Dot the eisemy , by any nit-ans . orive us from our holy purp ^ EB .

Every Dew truth , if it in any wise militsted against the interests of Herod rultrj . or Iscririot priestc . has iven sure ta procure for ita ' propsuiiGtr their bitterest hatred and persecution . But , ]? t me ask . has not pri 3 rc . ution ever failed in its ot-jrct ? Did tho bamslmi ^ ut of Muir , Palmar , acd 'G ^ rrold , Beforuiers ot Scfttland , prevent Reform taking place ia 1 ^ 32 ? Did the ex- cflicio informations during the a < 1 : iiiu : stratlon of Cistlereaeh , intimidate tea people from the pursuit of justice ?

answer . No , the love of liberty cannot be dcstr » yed : it is as elerral as the hills , and all-pervading like the elements whicti cave us life and motion . The speaker Jjtre pointed out in wurja language the progress libeity has made in various ( .-arts uf the world ; he referred to Switzerland , America . Spain , and Mexico , and other countries as places wh ^ re de mocratic principles h ; vd been established in despite of persecution and all the powers of tbe enemy .

Tbat deaths from destitution , and commission of crime from absolute want are daily occurring and rapidly increasing . < fcc . ; 3 . Tbat not only are tbe working classes sunk to the deepest diBtrtes , but the middle classes are rapidly desctnding to the s . me state ;
I- That during the existence of this condition of the people , tbe annual production of wealth from the resourcrS of the empire has increr . sed in a remarkable decree , an anomaly which can only be accounted for by tbts monopoly of political power , the UDJost osurpation of authority , and the consequent bad Government of the nation ; 5 . Tiiat t' e great mass of the people are not represented in Parliament ; that , therefore , legislation is couduct-d for the benefit of a class , and not for the intere .-ts of the zuat body of the people ; c . Tbat , the nnc-n < r ; mcbised people hare petitioned humY-ly » od repeattdiy witheut the smallest effect , or eVf n a prof-p' -ct of Tel : ef ; 7 .

( Sigiied , on behalf of tbe meeting , ) Thomas Livesey , Chairman . The Speaker intimated , that in such a shape it could not be r-- ( . flived .
. Mr . 3 . Crawford iuqotred whether there was any standing rule or order of the House against receiving such a document , ? The f-PEAKEii said , it was contrary to the practice of tbe House to rt-eeive papers framed as remonstrances . Mr . T . Du . ncombe presented a petition from Sheffield , prayiti ; for an inquiry into the cause of the death < . f Sjmn ^ l Hulberry , who w . ts imprisoned in York Castle for a political offence , and who . had recently expired there . The petitioners were of opinion , that the inies for the government of gaols were not property aitended to ; ai ; n that , if they had been , tbe life of Holrwrry might have been saved . Mr . T . DL ' . ncombe gave notice that he should move that the remaining supplies , except those for China , Syria , and Casada , lw granted for three months only .
Mr- Leader complained that the Treasury subs had jockeyed bim by reading th « Municipal Corporations Bdl a third time , contrary to their agreement with him . Si . R Peel pleaded totil ignorance of any such act or intention . Sir R . Peel , in moving the Order of the Day for a C- 'mmi'U-e of Supply , entered 'into an explanation of L'jrrl Pdlmtratoa ' s statement that L » rd Auckland had been asked by the Tories to remain in the Government of India Sir R jhert denied that the Government had
done any such thing , tbouah he could not answer for the contents of Lord Ellenborough ' s private letter . Lord P-ilmerston repeated and justified his statement . A brief conversation then took place about the A ' ffcch ' an war , and the conduct of the Directors . Mr . Hogg statr-d that no such proposal as that attributed to Lord Ellenborough Ehould have been officially made without the fanction of the Directors , and as they knew nothing of it , he implied that no such official communication had ever been made to Lord Auckland .
On tbe mot'on for going into a Committe of Supply , \ ir . Villjers moved for a Committee of the whole House to consider of repealing the Corn Laws , and the subject occupied the House till twelve o'clock , when it divided . Tae numbers wt-re— 231 for a Committee of Supply , and 117 for Mr . Villitrs' motion . Tbe motion was support d by Mr . Vil iers himself , Mr . Hindky . and others , but principally by Mr . Cobden . Lord John Kns&ell , who went further than even Lord Howick approved of , and Lord Howick , supported Mr . Villiera . Sir R > bert Peel was their principal opponent In the course of his speech he announced the conclusion of the coiarut-rcla treaty with Portugal .

It is impossible for as to enter upon the dttails of these protracted proceedings ; suffice it to say that the acta of these malefactors embraced every spfcies of depredation and ontrage that the ingenuity and daring of such mea coald devise and accomplish . The Jury were five hours and a half in considering their verdict , and at ten o ' clock declared the whole of the prisoners guilty , some with aggravating , some extenuating circumstances . The Court retired to deliberate upon the judgment , and remained out till one in the morning .

SOUTH SHISLDS . —On Sunday afternoon , Mr . Williams , in coinpliauce with an inyitation , visited this place , for the purpose of delivering an address on the death of Holberry . The place selected for the meeting was on the Bents , or sea Banks , opposite Tynemonth . It was admirably adapted for the purpose , and a noble assembly there wa * It was estimated that there wero upwards of 2 , 000 preBent . Mr . Williams , after britfly stating the facts relative t © Holberrv ' a conduct , attest , ttlal , conviction , and imprisonment , then proceeded : to show why Holberry had embraced Chartist principles , and ' .-. why , in an erring moment , he bad been led to use the weapons of his oppressors , in endeayouring to arrest by night What had bVea denied to the < : alni demands of justice . The
general scope of bis address was as folJows : —Holberry was a working man , a producer of wealth . That which he , along with his brother millions , i produced , he was not permitted to enjoy j instead of that , poverty and toil , and Bnfferin « f was his portion-:-while he saw privileged idlers wallowing in the superabundant wealth which be and his class had produced . Common sense , and a sentiment of justice , taught him this was a grievous wrong . Oppression , therefore , made him feel , feeling prompted him to inquire , and to think about the cause , or causes , of such an unnatural and unjust state of things- ^ -ing . tiiry and reflection led to a : discovery of the grand , of the all-comprehensive cause » f his Bufferings . " - That cause he found to be , that he was subjected to the operation of laws affecting his labour , liberty , and happiness , which laws were made by ethers , by the idlers / the drones ; and therefore for them , and not for him . He laboured for the benefit of
his brethren , to make known the cause , and with the friends pf human right , he combined to remove it . He petitioned for its removal . His petition and the petitions of millions was treated . with contempt , and insultingly rejected .- ' ( Hear , hear ) He was told by a ; e-of those privileged law makers , that he " might as well petition the rock of Gibraltar" as that body . Their acts provts ^ its truth , and Holberry believed it . He not only saw the petition of plundered millions treated with . cruel neglect , but he also saw those who had dared to advocate the cause of the oppressed , seized upon , dragged before the tribunals of the oppressors , there condemned and consigned to a dungeon residence and felon's treatment . This , acting upon his sensitive sympathetic nature , maddened him . Having seen that this fraud and oppresssion was committed by force , he couciuded that as the oppressors were deaf to reason and honour , they miKtuba alive to fe&r .
—the fear pf being compelled to disgorge by force what they had got Or niaiutained by force . The vile oppressors knew what was working in-the niind of Holberry anA his brethren , they ' therefore .-sept amongat them the insidious and perfidious spy to fan the flames of patriot indignation and to report the pToares * of their hellish work . Plots were formed ; but tfceir secrets were made known , the enemy was prepared , and when the hour for action arrived , the oppressors pounced upon their unsuspecting victims ^ Holberry was such a victim . For this he was convicted , condemned , imprisoned , tortured , destroyed . Mr .-Wiiliams , in support of the latter statement , analjzed the evidence given before the Jury , which evidence clearly proved that the parties holilirig Holberry in bond , knew that disease was making rapid inroads on . a , once
powerful constitution . They knew that that disease was the result of mental agony , by Ion ^ -conSneeienti unsuitable diet and other privations to which Holberry was subjected , knowing the fact of disease , the ciiuae of it , it » progress , and his approaching death , according to all the ordinary and just process of reasoning , it must be inferred that they either actually intended that Holberry should be destroyed , or they were altogether indifferent as to the result In either case , they who held Holberry in such bondage , under such circumstances , were deserving at least of the severest reprobation .

SUNDEB . LAND . —On Sunday evening last , at six o'clock , Mr .-J Williams- lectured on the Town Moor . As the motto of his address , he took the following worda — "Dj not rich men oppress ye , and bring ye before the judgment seats ? " This he applied to the persecution of Chaitist political Reformers , and particularly to the case of Mr- Mnaon and the Stafford victims . There was a good audience , and at the close of Mr . Williams ' s address the sum of 103 . 9 d . was collected towards the Stafford Victims Fund . MANCHESTER . —CaliPE . NTErs * Hall-, —A public meeting was held in the above hall on Sunday afternoon , to hear a lecture delivered by Mr . Bius ' tow . On the motion of Mr . Danavaa , Mr . Tinker was called to the chair . Mr . Bairstpw . delivered a long and able
address , in the course of which , in allusion to the distress of the country , he said : —Laok at the ; condition of the people of the town in which we stand , the emporium of commerce , and . whut do we see ? Viistnumbersin the bastile , hundrerfs immured iu the body and soul-destroying factories , and thousands who are compel . ed to ask aims . Were they willing idlers we would not pity them * on consider them worthy of a sight or of our sympathy . But when we find 20 000 in this town out of employment , unable to beg bread , unable to get relief , and no tribunal to give thfein ^ justice , it is thenfore time that we united to destroy the monster clags legislation that has produced such a state of thinss . The sons of Britain are not whatthey formerly were . Starvation has destroyed all that soul and energy
that our forefiithers poasessad . Tho condition of tho British operative is worse than the savage in his wigwam , or the cannibal of New Zealand ; and this state of things exist , in Christian England in the nineteenth century , after a ten years' reform ; and notwithgtanding the sad and deplorable condition of the working classes , the manufacturers are determined to make it worse , \ for in Stockporfc last night the cotton spinners received notice of a further reduction of fifteen per cent in their wages . ; At Patricroft , last night , there Were forty mechanics discharged . In Bolton there are ' eight thousand out of employment ; and in VVigan the state of- the people is dreadful ; many of them remain iu bed tbe whole of the day to st fie the cravings of hunger . In Liverpool there are fl . ty-three
thousand persons rise from their btds each morning , not k owing were their breakfast innst come froni . In Accrington , with , a population of nine thousand , there are not more than one hundred fully : employed . InColne th hand-loom weaver has to weave one hundred and thirty yards of cloth for 2 s . 6 d . j and , in many cascB , to carry it seven or eight mileB . In Birmingham there aro twenty thousand out of employment , and the poorrates have doubled this y « ir . In Sheffield there are from fourteen to fifteen thousand out of -.-employment ; and such are the demands upon the poor-rates that they are four times as heavy this year as they were last . In the town of Leicester the condition of the people is shocking ; they had b&nded themselves in companies of twenty or thirty persons to go and beg , and the
magistrates had put a stop to them , and how , if five or six peor fellows , with poor clothing upon their backs , are standing together in the street , the police take them up . . The number of persons in Leicester , employed in the frame-work department , in 1818 ; w « s thirty-two thousand ; and thuir wages were 269 . per week . In 1836 , the number was thirty-s ^ x thousand , and their wages 7 s . 6 d . per week . In 1841 , the numbsr was forty-six thousand , and their wages 4 s . per week , and thia only when they had work j out of thi « , als 6 , they have to pay rent for their frames , Working or not , and it is no uncommon thiug . for a man to be out of work for two or three weeks , and when he gets work the whole of his week ' s work is stopped by the master for frame rent . Mr . Bairstow then gave a dreadful account of the condition of the agricultural labourers
whose lot was . not better than , the' manufacturing population . He concluded by tracing all this to the resnlt of class legislation , and exhorted to unity on behalf of the Charter . Mr . Bairstow sat dewn amMst the repeated applause of the meeting . — -Mr . Knight then proposed Mr . Hampaon , wholesale provision dealer , of Ancoats-street , as a member of the National Charter Association , which waa seeonded by Mr . Chamberlain , and carried unanimously . —The Chairman then called upon Mr- D . Ross , who , on rising , was greeted with a bant of applause . He addressed the meeting for a short time ia his nsnal eloquent manner , and laid before them some appaling accounts of destitution which he had been an eye-witness to amongst the handloom wearers at Blackburn . The thanks of the meeting were given to Messni . Bairstow , Boss , and the Chairman , and the meeting separated .
In the evening , at half-past six ^^ o ' clock , there was another meeting in the above Hall . On the motion of Mr . Johnson , Mr . Bailey wa » ananimously called to the chair , who opened the meeting in a short but appropriate speech , and introduced : Mr . J .

Batrsto W delWered a lecture in the Chattist Chapel . Middleton , on the present position of the people and the People's Charter . The discourse was one of the most excellent we ever heard . He clearly and eloquently depicted what was the cause of the distress of the indnHtrions millions , and very forcibly shewed that nothing short of the People ' s dharter would bring contentment and happiness to this once glorious but noW most distressed people of this empire . Atthecohclusion fonr new members were enrolled .
: CrliASOOW . —Mr . Boherfc Lowery delivered two lectures here last week , on the evenings of Tuesday and Friday , in the Chartist Church . Mr . Lowery travelled from AtbrQath that day , and the boat having , frpm adverse winda , been detained on ths passage between Arbjoath and Leith several hours beyond her time , he did not arrive in Glnsgow till a few nnnut € 8 to ten o ' clock ; but the interval was well . occupied . Mir . James Proadfaot took the chair , and Mr . Moir being caMed upon , addressed the meeting at ionie length , amidst rapturous applause . Mr . Kidd was next called upon , but did not proeeed fit when Mr . Lowery was announced , on whieh Mr . Kidd sat down , saying he was thea to listen not to ape ^ k . Mr . Lowery rose amidst loud cheers , and having briefly stated the cause of his
detentionV entered upon his subject , namely— " The present distress , its cause , and the necessity of a union of the honest of all classes to remove it , " which he handled in a clear and masterly style , she win g the' contem ptu bus pretensions of . the framars of the ; Reform Bill , thetotal failure of that measure , the gloohi tbat now tbrtat ^ ned this Country , and the utter absurdity of expecting relief from either Whigs or Tories , who are both interested in the system . He ( Mr . L . ) Would tell them that even those who flittered themsslves that they nt Jeast could elude it would suffer ; no wisdom , no bTavery , ceuld save them from the impending storm . Hun : r « ds of the middle classes were baiug reduced to poverty , and less able to bear it than those who had been inured to it He referred to the treatment of the poor ,
and said the virtuous , poor concealed their poverty , aad despised the relief tendered under the New Poor Law and the despots of Sumersat Hcu « e ; in proaf of which many had destroyed both their -offspriug and themselves rather than submit to the infsraal Bastile JByBtenii If the Whig and Tory systems had brought the country to this , what guarantea could either of them . ( the factions ) give tkat they could cure th « evil througti a Tory system . He dwelt with great effect on the , condition and treatment of the people of Ireland , who unfortunately but too readily lent themselves to fi « bt the battles of the uristoctacy , but he wVwtld ask , dit-i the aristocracy not think that the Irish could learn to fight for themsblve 8 as well as for tho aristdcracyi Let them try and see whether the aristocracy had not been tried and
found wanting ; they had now . a long tnai of an aristocratic form of government , and it had failed to procure the ot ject for which all governments w ^ re appointed , viz . the benefit of the great mass of the community , therefore it waa bixb time to ciiang « tbe systftin . P' « I could prove tbst taxition on articles of consuniption had reacned its limits , but in whatever shape t-ix ^ s might be laid on , the worki : fi ; classes must pay it . He alluded to the com plain is against the people ftr having urged th «; r claini 3 so earnestly at public meetings called by other parties . Sharinan Crawford , the advocate of the mi Idle classes did the same to P = st < 1 in the Houae of Commons . He nrov ^ d ah amendinom ; to the tariff to pronloie his own oi jvct . Tbe Cam Law repealersi talked a gr « at deal about cheap bread , but
they never told the people bow to get possession of it . H « was as fond of a cheap leaf as any imn , but lie knew they bad no chauce of getting a cheap loaf till every swindler , was turned put from behind the counter . Mr . Lowery spoke for an hour and a quarter in a strain of impassioned « loqdence , defeuding the whola principles of the Charter . He concluded by calling on the peopieto stand true tothemselves , and eatdownanudat loud and repeatsd cheering —At the second lecture , upon . ' ¦ ' the Chartists , their remedy ^ the progress of their principles , and - "their present position ^ " he said they began the agitaiion without exptrience and *? ithou > j much . talent , but tbey progressed— -they created a great
public opinion in their favour ; they bad suffered pt >> aucution and starvation , but they made their principiea respected . He defied any man to point to any other movement that coulit be compared to that of Chartiaiii in point of consistency , peraevererice , arid virtue . He spoke for an hour and a half , and concluded one of tbe moit eloquent kctures we ever hatl the pleasure of listening to , amidst the hearty greeiings of tbe . meetiDjr .

PUBLIC MEETING TO ADOPT THE MEMORIAL AND THE REMONSTRANCE . On Monday evening last , a public meeting tock place according to announcement in tbe Star , at No . 3 , Galloway Baildinii 8 , for the above'Stated purpose . On Mt . J . Twite being called to the chair , he nrufly stated his views of the present state of the country , and cf tae prospects of our party . Mr . - Phillips , in a FtraigMforward speech , proetched to Ebaw what good could be dnne by each man usinj his tongue and influence to the furtherance of the . Chartist cause . Every man was capable of doing somttbicg in that way , and be trusted there would be no apithj—no backwardness on the p ^ rt of the Chartists ofBaih —( applause . ) The time had come when we all should bestir ourselves .
-2 Ir . Beeb said , on bein ? called upon to speak , tfeat it had betn remarked that a still tongue shews a wite head ; and he thought he should be wise if he followed that advice . However , permit him to say tbat our -object-was not so much to raise up speakers as to get every man to use his itflaenca in making converts to our principles , by talking about and . advocating them in private and in the worki-hop—( hear , hear . ) We should ttus endeavour to instil into the minds of others a love of liberty , which we seek . Mr . C . Bolwell now rose and said that they were aware that in consequence if the rfj = ction of the National Petition by the Honse of Commons , it ha < l been decided upon to remonstrate with that H ' . ' . use , and to memorialise the Qaeen on the subject . Such a Hut of procedure may be useless in so fir as it may affect the Comm&us' House , but yet it was showing a proper spirit cf resentment It was clear to all that something most beaone , thedistre&s every where pressing
on the people , was doing its work ; yet they setnud apathetic—they were sleeping . It may be that tbey were thus taking lest for ths purpose of being the better able , by and bye , cf battling with tbe enemy . Some had , no doubt , fallen back thinking that they saw no prospect of success ; but he would ask where was thir person who , considering what had been done , could say we were not in a better position now than ' some time ago ?—( hear . ) We had steadily advanced , and were steadily advancing . The leaders cf the people had improved by experience—many , if not all of them , were capable of standing argument with tbe ent-my in an enli ghtened assembly . We thus had become betttr prepared to raise up an enlightened public opinion , to wtich the Government mast nltimately yield . When the middle men saw a necessity for the establishment of the- CaarUr , they would coma out and unite with us and that necessity they will soon discover . Mr . B . concluded by moving the following resolution : —
" That this meeting feels called upon to remonstrate whhthe House of Commons , on its rejection of the National Petition , -which called for an enquiry into the causes of the eTisting distress , with a view of applying a remedy ; and Which prayed tlat the House would forttiWVih pa » into a law the People's Charter . That the House of Commons , having denied us all such enqniry , and refused us justice by withholding our rights as set forth in the eaid Charter , we think proper to memorialise Her Majesty on such an important occasien , asking Her to give an audience to persons who will lay the sufferings and grievances of tbe people clearly before Her , and praying Her Majesty to dismiss Her present ministers , and to call to Her councils men who will auke the People ' s Charter a a cabinet measure .

BATH . TUNERAL ORATION ON THE DEATH OF
HOLBERRY . Ou Sunday afternoon last , a funeral oration was dVi ' - ^ erec by Mr . Bartlett , on tbe death of poor Holberry . at No . 3 . Gilloway-nuildings . The room was fUu * i with b . ighiy respectable people , among whom Were many df the female sex , whose bosoms seemed to ww -snih fce . inss of inttns * indignation towards those who were the undoubted cauBe of Holberry ' s dtitb . >; r . Tw : te took the chair , and briefly introduced Mr . Bartleti , who spoce to the following tfikct . 2 J ;» f-if-nds , we are me I here on ihis important and Bo ^ -uin occasion to perform a duty to the dead . A br- ^ h ^ -r Caartist bss lately died in prison , and as he di' - " . there in a just cause—in the cause of the poor

And as the er . ewj may attempt to srUn-avse his cfesractg ^ as , we ' ll now that he is dead a » * hen he was living—fortbe tongue of interested vi . any can ntvtr be at rest , —it is my intention to sli- 'W that his coDdnct was worthy of imitation , and ti-a" Ue was no traitor , nor assassin , no spoliator—( h-.. r , hear)—though he wished to sssassinate all inju-.-. cc . and to spoil the base dt-sians of the enemy . 1 * -: me ask , was hs a tr ^ it jr because he wished to found GjVtimnifent on the afftsciions of the people , and t *> iii ' aKn all tilting institutions conform to the spirit , » ii .-i , an-i intelligence of the age ? Was he a traitor bev iasa he Trisatd society from the highest to the

Was ha an ss ^ asaia because be wanted to get rii ! uf tbsjsa utn .-. tUTdl distinctioiis which separate OBe class from another , while they inflict nwn the country the evils arising from the want oi u . > tii > n among the people . Was he an assassin beesu ^ be wished the poor labourer not to be turned out Of keuse and hoiae , dr ivtn fscm country and kindred &t t 5 fe caprice of some wealthy It » rd , or because of oppitssson ? Was he a spoliator because he wanted the
poor V > live in the land 0 ! their birth , or to have a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work ? Was he , in short , s spoliator because he wanted to pat those now digniilfri into tatted apes , on the level ot men practising the golden doctrine " Do onto others as you would they Bhouid do unto yon , " and acting up to to the rale " tbat tfc' *>« alone who work shall eat ? " Oh , no ; be was no tra : Vir , no assassin , no spoliator ; he did not want to rob the rich for the sake of giving to the poor ; he did not want to pull down one class to put another in their ¦ te&d . He wasted justice to be done unto all ; for that object be straggled , and in the advocacy of it he fell a victim to the oppressor ' s power . In the perfect know , l&ige . of all that be suffered , his mental agony and physical decay , all good Chartists will say , as I do now , a thousand times welcome be his death to us all rather tfe&n submit to the ; oppressor—( cheers ) .
