WISBEA . CH . —According to previous arramrenients , Mr . J . Campbell ^ ras engaged to lecture in Wi&beach on t&e 20 th instant . Tbe Council of the Association had decided that an open air meeting should be held in the Market-place as a means ef enlisting a larger portion « t the people in favour of their Charter . Mr . jCampbell arrived in Wisbeach from Hull at seven o ' clock in tbe evening , acccmpanled by a number of gentlemen from Lvnn . The meeting -w&b called for half-past seven , snd before that tima the town vas all alive , and presented a most animated appearance . Great numbers might be seen wending taeir -way from every-part of the town to the place of meeting ; there ¦ were persons who had not -walked less than ten miles to attend ; "indeed , there could not be less Vh&n sue or se-re-a hundred persons present Mr . R . Anderson , bookseller and news-a ^ ent , was called to the chair , "who opened the business of the evening by a few bripf and timeiy remarks , and concluded by calling upon Mr . Campbell to address the meeting . Mr . Campbell then rose and delivered a most powerful and impressive lecture , which -was listened to throughout with breathless t attention ; indeed , sacb an important meeting in favour i of the people ' s Charter -was never before held in ] TVisbeach . Tcs attention that was paid , and , the good order that prevailed throughout the J meeting , were highly creditable to the -working i cias&fcs . arid affords another proof thaV they at J least kaow as trtll how to behave as the self-sryled j respectable ? . To attempt extract would no :, be doing j jastice , even could yon afford fpaee in your valuable j columns : teffljs , it , then , to say , that Mr . C . concluded , his lectiire by an energetic appeal to the feelings and i sympathies of the people , and asted -whether they S would Iodkt than needs submit to such tboniiaa- j tions . declaring , at the same time , that there ¦ sras j not the least hope for them , but by adopting the i principles ci the People ' s Chiiter , and enrolling them- 1 selves as members of the National Charter Association , i At t ' as conclusion a vote of thanks to Mr . C for his ; powtrful , able , an . i eloquent lecture , was moved by j a gentleman from Lynn , and , on being put from the j chair , a forest of hands was held up in his favjur . j Mr . C . britflf returned thanks , - and the chairman then declared tba mectirg dissolved . An adjourned meeting i ¦ was afterwards neld in the People ' s Hall , for the pur- j pose of enterfcz the names of as many as were willing j to join the Association . Mx . C-mpbell again briefly addressed the meeting , and a considerable accessi » n of members was the consequence , most of whom took out carda . Thus the good seed is sown , which , we trust , will in due season , bear fruit abundantly . ' - It is in coct = n : plation to engage a missionary for the district for a ^ nonrh . which ia much irante 3 , and would , we bava fcV < - ?

LEITH . —A very interesting ard lengthened discusdon took place at the weekly meeting of the Leith Dharter Association on Tnesday evening , the 19 th July , an the best means of obtaining the People ' s Charter , when , after a very animated discussion , the following resolution was ur ^ animously adopted : — " That we , the Chartist 3 of Lsith , do resolve that wa will , in conjunction with our brethren of England , Ireland , and Scotland , on any given day that may ba agreed upon by the Associations throughout the United Kingdom , abstain from all exciseable articles ; and farther , that we resist all taxation , direct or indirect , to the utmost of our power , until the People's Charter becomea the law of the land . " It was also agreed that we recommend the various associations to take up tbe subject ou as early an opportunity as possible , and that the foregoing resolution be sent to the Northern Star , Brilish-Slatesnfxn , and Dundee Chronicle , for insertion Mr . Boss , of Manchester , lectured in the Chartist Hall , to a numerous audience , on Friday evening , the 22 nd instant ; Mr . Samuel Moir was called to the chair , who introduced Mr . Boss to the meeting , when , on making his appearance , he was greeted with several rounds of applause . Mr . Ross delivered one of the most soulstirring and eloquent lectures which it has ever been our lot to listen to , in the course of which be Bhowed , in glowing terms , the fallacies of the Corn Law agitators , and " new move" * gentry ; the parsons came in for their share of deserved castigatiou ; in fact he left not a point unnoticed . He concluded a lecture of two hour ' s duration amidst the hearty plaudits of the meeting . The chairman then intimated that Mr . RoBS would lecture again on Monday evening , which announcement was received by tremendous cheering . After a vote of thanks to Mr . Ross and the chairman , the meeting broke up highly gratified . - arsroath . —At a large public meeting , held in the Chartist Pavilion , to nigh ; , Saturday the 23 rd , Mr . Abram Duncan , as usual , was introduced by the chairman to the mesting , when he brou ; ht t o their notice the proceedings of the Anti-Corn Law Conference in London . At the close of his address Mr . James Tosh moved , and Mr . Win . Lundie seconded , the following resolution : — " That this meeting , having taken into consideration the proceedings of a body called the Anti-Corn Law Conference , now or lately sitting in London , find that they are not representatives of the working classes of this country , not being electad by them to state their grievances , although they have spoken in their came and claimed their sanction for their proceedings . £ hat in the course of their discussions upon the distress of the nation , they have done all in their power , with the assistance of a hireling press , to incite the people to outrage and rebellion . This accomplished , they would then step into the jury-box , and find their deluded victims guilty of some offence ¦ which ¦ would subject them to imprisonment , transportation , and death . We therefore call upon the victims of classlegislation belonging to every class , to join the Chartists ' Associations , as the oaly legal and constitutional means to remedy the wrongs this nation is labouring under at present" This resolution was put by the chairman , and carried unanimously , with only one dissentient
voice . CATCPSiE . —Great Demonstration in favour of the People s Charter . —Thursday , the 2 lst " July , being a Fast Day , appointed by the General Assembly , to atone for Jhe sins of the Church , and the distreJ 3 of the nation , the Chartist Association considering that the people had been fasting too long , while ths Church and aristocracy wera . living in luxury from tbe fruits of their industry , it to be their duty to consecrate the Fast D iy to tbe cause of liberty . Accordingly , large hand bills were put up , calling upon the inhabitants to attend a public meeting , for tbe purpose of adopting a memorial to the Government in behalf of Robert Peddie and William Brook ; also an address of sympathy to the Rev . Patrick Brewster . and other business connected with the movement About eleven o'clock , a large green banner was suspended over the window of the Chartist Hall ; it was got up for the occasion by ths Irish members of the Chartist Association ; it was a beautiful flag , with a harp in its centre , guardedly a female , with the Charter in her hand . Above her head were the words " do surrender , " and below " union is strength . " At the other end of the village , another large banner was floating in the breezj . It would have required the pen of a Milton to have described tbe doleful looks and fallen countenances of the pious oppressors of the poor , as they bended their way to the church , convinced that their glory was departed - , that the hypocrisy of priestcraft Lad lost its charm to deceive—tbe signs of the timea whisp&red in their ear that the spell was broken , that the masses were rising from the Bleep of ages once more to assume their ' original dignity , aa the public . The public works were but partially stopped during the day . The meeting was held in tbe evening in the Court adjoining the Chartiit Hall , at seven o'clock . About six o ' clock , all was bustle and activity , anxiously waiting the arrival of the Strathbiane instrumentil band , who kindly gave their Bemas gratis ; the band having at length arrived , the multitude formed themselves into a procession , headed by the Committee of the Charter Association , accompanied by Mr . Jotte M'Crea , from Ayrshire ; the vast assembly falling in behind tlie procession , then started , accompanied by the band of music , and walked through the village ; a good number of banners were intermixed throughout the procession . We observed from the village of Hatighead a large and splendid flig , with tbe emblem of a female holding in ber hand a pair of balances , motto—justice . From the village of Whilton two beautiful fiigs ; one of them had in its centre a large star / around it were the Six Points of the Charter ; i f"ha ntrior TFVB n . liVonaca nt * P ^ Qi » OTia A'P . nnnnr Th » i SJ ' i torn ¦¦ ifi n , iiff ¦ TjT wv ¦ ¦ it

Other banners were dispersed throughout the . long procession , which after proceeding through the village , returned ta the place of meeting , where a commodious hustings was erected . The large tquare was densley filled ; house-tops and staircases were covered . The general opinion of those who are acquainted with packed meetings allowed that there were upwards of three thousand , ou ; of a parish whose . population is below six thousand . On tbe motion of Mr . Walter M'Adam , Mr . Walter Graham was called to ths chair , who with a few appropriate and pointed remarks said that he had great pleasure in introducing to them a tried and ui-flinching friend , Mr . John M "Crea , from Ayrshire , who was received with loud bursts of acclamation . The su > ject allotted to Mr . M'Crea was—Is tte dislrea 3 of the nation attribntable to tbe B ; ity , or the stlfish laws of man ? The lecturer commenced by showing that the universal Father of tbe human race willed the happiness of all his children ; that it was , no doubt , by man violating the laws of God , and with his puny arm turning his benevolent goodness to their own aggrandisement , unmindful of their brethren created by the same being to share the bounces of heaven , to be partakers of those blessings that nature has provided for all her children . The clergy , he said , were the greatest enemies to mankind that could be found in society . Give , give , was their cry—nothing c&uld satisfy ther rapacious maw . They command you to fast while they are fattening upon your misery . The mother may weep teara of blood for her starving children ; a father may be clothed in rags—they are deaf to the iufferinga of humanity—their souls sre wrapt up in selfishness—they are the worshipping disciples of the god of avarice . It is impossible to give anything like a report : suffice it J to say that it was oue of those patriotic soul-stirring speeches that are sare to captivate tbe andience . It was intermixed with same of the fine poetical sentiments which distinguish the speeches of Mi . M Crea . It was j listened to with dead-hke silence , and has left a deep j impression upon the audience . He concluded amidst j the loud acclamations of the meeting . The Chairman now called upon Mr . Robert Wingate to move an adj dress of condolence to the Rev . Patrick Brewster . Mr . i Wingate , after a Jew brief remarks , read an address , i which was unanimously agreed t ? . The Chairman next I called upon Mr . Alexander Davies to propose the j-adoption of a memorial to the Home Secretary in behalf , of Robert Peddie and William Brook , praying for a - ; commutation of their sentence . He said he was highly j gratified to see each a large and respectable meeting of | his townsmen in behalf of freedom . The night being | far advanced , he would not detain them , but would simply read tte memorial , 'which was agreed to unaatinottslT . Mr . Andrew Robertson was then called ¦ to propose a resolution condemnatory of war , and ! especially the present wars in India and China . Mr . J . | < -fibb proposed a resolution , in f avour of an Executive | being appointed in Scotland , to give stability to the | movement . Both resolutioBS were carried without a j dissentient voice . A vote of thanka was then proposed ; to Mr . 51 'Crae , who in returning hia thanks for their j kindness remarked that if they believed in what he i had told them he hoped that they would ahow their sincerity by joining the society . About sixty came : forward sad enrolled their names as members of the | association . After a vote of thanks to the Chairman I and thebasd for their eerncefi , and cheers being given ; for Frost . Williams , Jones , O'Connor and the Charter , the meeting quietly dismissed . Thus ended one of the beat kept fast-days ever held in Campsie ; we have bid-fieflauce to the uojiallowed mandate of an hireling chmA ; we call npoa oar countrymen to ado , pt the same method upon every opportunity , and the ipoble chains that priestcraft Jiave forged for the phyeical and moral degradation of tbe human race will fee gBapt asunder , and our own country assume her proper station amongg the nations of the earth . Oar motto is , No surrender . These resolutions w « re adopted : ' - ' That this meeting : hail with delight &e proposal of the Chartist Association of Alloa in hiring an Executive appointed for Scotland , and pledge oeraelves to give it all the anpport in our power , believing text It would tend to promote union , rooae the dormant energies of many that are cold and lukewarm , a& 4 altogether tend to promote the speedy attainment ol ' the people ' s Charter . " 2 . "That this meeting beholda with indignation the useless waste of public money on the cruel and unjust wars carried on in India and China ; they most solemnly protest against the shedding of human blood for party and petty purposes ; and weuld in the face of beaten and of our country thus publicly declare that we are free from the blood thus wantonly abed , and hope that the young men of our country will refrain from selling tneir liberty and lives at one shilling per day to aid and abet those wars , that we can characterise bj no milder same than legalised murder .

After Mr . Evan Morgan being called to the chair , and the letter of Mr . O'Connor to the middle classes being read ., the chairman called on Mr . D . John , jun ., from Mertbyr , to address the meeting . Mr .

The writer passed in review the numerous Whig prosecutions of tbe Chartists , who , he contended , were good and benevolent men , anxious to save their country from destruction ; and who , for their able advocacy of the rights of the people , had been most unjustly prosecuted and inhumanly punished . The writer then took an extensive review of tbe baneful tfftcts of class legislation , and showed that so long as the franchises of the people were monopolised by the aristocracy , so long woald they remain in poverty and degradation . He concluded by a feeling appeal to the meeting in behalf of the widow of the late Samuel Holberry , in the following words : — "Need I appeal to you in behalf of the bereaved and broken-hearted widow of Holberry ? Need I crave your serious attention to her pitiful case ? No ! you are Englishmenyou are lovers of liberty !

Fellows ijt bondage , —We address you at the present time , with feelings of the deepest regret upon the subject of the barbarous treatment of Frost and his companions . We have no occasion to tell you of the excellent characters of those men , or that one of them was a magistrate , or that the respect in which they were held , was equal to that of the most noble in the land , for we believe that these things are well known to you . We believe that their exertions in the cause are deeply engraven in all your hearts . They are now in the chain gangs for letting their friends and acquaintance know that they were still in the land of the living and making known to them the extent of their Bufferings .

With respect to the fundB which were furnished to this Committee for the purpose of attempting the liberation of our friends , the fallowing account will shew what part Birmingham has borne ih tbe contribution to these funds . .

How this money ( has been expended the balance sheet of the Committee will shew , but the receipts will shew that Birmingham has nobly done its duty . The Northern Star has forcibly shewn thesituatiott of the noble exiles , and this Committee would wish to know of the country if they think any further memorialising or petitioning will be of any use . If the country decide in the afBrmative , and will furnish us with the means , we can then go on in our good course without turning to the right or to the left , till we accomplish the liberation of these menu In conclusion , we recommend untiring perseverence in memorialising the Home Office , till these men are liberated , or at least have their condition ameliorated . If it be a crime in men who have been unjustly treated to tell their friends so , then we would sayi ^ do nothing ;" but if you think these noble exiles innocent of crime , let your voices be beard thoughout the length and breadth of the land , till you you gain their entire freedom . ¦ „• ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ " ¦ " ¦ '¦ " . ...

' SUNDERLANP—State of the Town . —The distress which has been so long and deeply felt in this town , continues unabated , indeed on the increase . The unemployed Belief Committee have given partial employment to a large numbep , but the number of the unemployed from other causes has continued to increase . The fundB of the committee will not last more than four or five weeks longer , and what then will be done With the hundreds of now half-starved- 'Operatives , it is impossible to say , The prospect is dreadful to contemplate . The > sentiinents of the shopkeepers and middle classes have latterly undergone a wonderful change . Tney see ruin inevitably staring them in the face . The summer is nearly over , and they have experienced none of that improvement in trade which they anticipated , and the winter will , ere long , be here and bring with it a great aggravation of those burdens which they , now feel so unbearable . It is a general impression amopgst them , that one half of the tradesmen of the place will become insolvent ore the winter be over , unless there be some great and speedy improvement in trade . They , however , have now ceased to hope for any ; they confess that a great change must be made ; what that great change should be they do not well know ; but they are thoroughly satisfied that it can only be accomplished by union between the middle and working classes ; and that union they are generally conj vlnced can only be accomplished upon the principle of i equal representation . Some , perhaps many , would rather it could be accomplished without this measure of justice to the masses ; but they will prefer , however strong their arlstosratic prejudice , union with the masses upon the ' . principles of the Chatter , to disunion and the absolute ruin which they see it must bring . There are now about five hundred upon the unemployed relief fund ; one-half of them are employed three days at a time , at Is . 6 d . each day . They are now employed in draining the Town-moor , and this week a number will beset to workwith adrain at Bishopwearmouth . South Shields——On Sunday afternoon , Mr . Chappie , of Sunderland , delivered an excellent address here , from the words— " A new commandment I give unto you , that ye love one another . " The audience was very numerous , notwithstanding there was a Methodist Camp-meeting not far from tae place . The deepest attention was paid , and the address apparently gave cutire satisfaction .
