XiONBON . —A meeting of journeymen bakers was bald on Saturday evening , at tbe Nation ** Association Hall , Holbom , to form a union of the whole trade for a redrew of grievance * . Mr . Crow was called to £ » ebnr , and briefiv opened the proceedings . Mr . W ^ f moved ta 7 first resolution , " That in order to redress any grievance that may Hereafter exist in our trade , it is the opinisn of this meeting that the best and most effectual means to be resorted to is a legal and constitutional union with our fellow tradesmen , the operative bakers tiiroughonc Great Britain and Ireland , as snch a salutary measure will also have fm its objecta the laudable and numane opportunity of assisting each other in time of need . " Tlie journeymen bajctra were etigmafesd as an ignorant and dissipated class of men . Fe
acknowledged they were ignorant , but it was oppression sod slavery that rendered them so . They , bad no time allowed them to cultivate their intellectual faculties ; they were compelled to work in bakehouses worse to inhabit than the condemned cells of Newgate ; they ¦ were compelled on an average to work twenty hours out of tie twenty-four . There bad been societies to emancipate the dogs "which drew tbeir barrows , but alas , there were so societies to emancipate the poor journeymen bakers . He should not propose any resolution pledging them to a strike , but lay the case before the public and their employers , and he had no doubt that their employers -would see their interest in supporting such & union . Mr . W . then allndtd to the conduct of the press in representing that their employers were
making rapid fortunes , and complained that with the exception of the Evening Star the press would not aontradici the groundless assertion , their employers he asserted were fa 3 t sinking into ruin through the effects of the present system . Mr . £ Blacknrore seconded the * fes .-lution in an able and elequmt address . He was sorry to hear the previous speaker state that , the bakers were an ignorant class » f men , they were possessed of th * same faculties as thtir feliow men , and had only to make a vigorous effort to emancipate themselves and they would speedily rise in the scile of social and political society . Mr . Blackmore thca highly eulogised the Evening Star as an advocate of toe rights of labour , and sat uown loudly cheered . Mr . Watson , a master baker , rn an extensive way of business , supported the resolution
in an animated address . It was evident to all that the jour eymea and master bakers of London were snfiVring indescribable gufitxiugs , more so than any other class of persons in the metropolis . The Times newspaper has scandalously misrepresented the trade , and the profits derived from the present price of bread in the metropolis ; such was the effect of competition at the present time that both master and journeymen were sinking inte an irretrievablt gulf of rain . Mr . W . then alluded to Sunday baking , and stated that for years he had not allowed M » men to work on the Sunday . He then entered into the question advanced by the clergy of the metropolis , that the employment of journeymen bakers to cook dinners on Sundays allowed an immense number of persons to attend places of- worship who
would otherwise be deprived of the opportunity , clearly shoved its fallacy and ir justice , ana advised them to charge their employers five ahilUnci for every Sunday on which ttey were so tmployed . Mr . W . then alluded to the wretched state of payment given to the journeymen , and the absence of all union by which persons who had not served an apprenticeship were admitted into the trade . An apprentice to a baker was a thing almost unknown in the Metropolis ; snch had been the prejudice created by the Tiwu newspaper , that persons in ttia West End , were actually dictating to respectable masters at what price they should serve them He had received several letters to that effect , He was proud to aee the good feeling that existed among them towards tbeir employers . He knew that the meeting
VobU effect great good ; ma ; : y of tto masters were favourable to their views , and in fact a society among the masters was being formed to ameliorate their condition , and to establUn lectures , reading , registration , and other rooms , which would give mental . employment , facilitate them in procuring situations and keep them from the debasing influences of the publioboUK ; this was to be tffected by msana of an anneal subscription of five shillings from the journeymen , and one guinea from the employers , aided by a benevolent public He advised them to cultivate a feeling of good ¦ will and charitable feeling towards their employers , and unite in one bond for the purpose of teenefittiag the trade collectively . He felt assured that if the Br itish public were made acquainted with tbeir
claims , every man , woman , and child wou' . d exclaim against their wrongs ; it was a system which was destroying both body and soul of both men and masters— 'great cheering ) . Mr . O'Brien , a journeyman , stated that before they formed a union , be should wish the precise terms of the union to be defined . Mr . Slackmore explained that the Committee would prepare a plan to lay before them at any future meeting . Mr . T . Hurray , delegate from Dublin , lodging in the home of Mr . Dyott , secretary'to the Irish Suffrage Association , addressed the meeting in support of the advantages of union to the trade , and also the formation of a committee , consisting , of one from each club house to carry out its objects . Mr- Blackmore , in ¦
an eloquent address , seconded the resolution for the formation of the committee , which was carried unanimously . Mi . Crow , delegate for Dublin , ably addiesatd the meeting , and stated that they hid effected a complete union in Ireland for the abolition of night work and the redress of other grievances in the trade . They bad also corresponded with the tnde in Sc tland and intended petitioning the L » gi « tattrr © to enact a law abolishing mght work . They had formed a union of the trade in Manchester , and be trusted that the men ef London would not be deficient in spirit in effecting their emancipation . Mr . Wilkis , delegate from Liverpool , also ably addressed the meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and delegates and the meeting separated .

" Mt G . Humphries seconded tbe motion , Messrs . Wheeler , Cnffay , and Rose objected to the motion . They bad no power to compel the Executive to attend the meeting of their committee , neither would the Executive , in
fhoir opinion , be justified in putting the country to travelling expences , 4 a , to attend such a summons . Mr . Bose moved , " That the localities be requested to take into thair consideration tbe -affairs of the Executive . " Mi Dron jecondM the motion . He thought the relegate Meeting should repel tbe insult offered to them by Mr . Campbell ; bat it would be best first to bring the subject before the localities . Several delegates stated that their localities t >* A folly made up tbeir minds upon the subject . Messxa . Knight , Lucas , and Maynard admitted that tbe Executive bad neglected the organisation : bat were of opinion that tbe language ef Mr . Hill in the Northern Star waa too violent , and calculated to do injury to tbe sale of that journal . Mr . Christopher Wmfitfi * he conduct of Mr . Hill , and expressed bit

He was aorry to see that persona should , because tbe line of policy adopted by the Editor differed from tlpir own views , attempt to injure the circulation of » journal that bad done so much for the cause .

for recommending tbe consideration of the subject to the localities was carried by a considerable majority . Mr . Dron while speaking upon the conduct of Mr . Campbell , contradicted the statement of that gentleman that the attendance of delegates was very limited in number on the previous discussion of the " Balance Sheet ; " it was the very reverse of the fact Several delegates cot finned Mr . Dron ' s statement . Mr . Knight laid before tbe meeting a notice of motion relative to the impropriety of attending at meetings of tbe Anti-Corn Law Party , for the purpose of opposition .

SOUTH shields—Election of Delegates . —Tbe committees of tbe Cbwtists and Complete Suffragists met to consult on the propriety and practicability of electing delegates to represent them in the forth ' coming Conference . Tne Complete Snffiragists proposed that tbe two parties unite to send one delegate to represent both . No bad joke , but we , ungrateful dogs that we are , would do no such thi g , but declared our readiness to pay an equal share of the expence in calling the meeting , an 4 that ire would propose two candidates , that they might propose as many as they chose , snd whichever party was succe »» ful should pay tbeir own delegates . To this they decidedly objected , and left tbe Chartists to their own resources . We next presented a requisition to the Chief Magistrate , signed by
thirty-six householders , requesting him to call a meeting for the above purpose , which he most graciously declined ; we therefore placarded the town , calling a meeting for Wednesday night , Dec 7 , in , Mr . Is ^ lea ' s Long Boom , Scarborough Spa , King-street At the hour appointed the ball wa « crowded . Mr . Elliott , a working man , was unanimously called to the cbair . The Chairman , after reading the bill announcing the meeting , called upon Mr .

The chairman then asked three times if there was any other candidate to propose , when no one appearing , a show of hands was taken separately , and unanimously
agreed to amidst great cheering . Tbe chairman then rose and said , I declare Divid Potts and Charles Ashton doly elected to represent this borough in the forthcoming Conference , to be held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December . Mr . Chappie , of Sunderland , being recognised in the meeting , was loudly called for and made his way to the platform amidst loud cheers , when he delivered a speech which occupied above an hour in 'he delivery . Three cheers were then given for Dr .

ROWBLL . —The inhabitants of this place determined upon calling a public meeting by requisition , which was drawn up in the usual form , and presented to the High Comtable of the place ; but he refuted to call tbe meeting on the g . ound that he knew notbtog of the rtquihitkmislB , nor nothing did he want to know of them . They said , if you do not call tbe meeting , we shall call it our * elves . Well , said he , you may do as you think well , only don't trouble me , but go off about your business . Accordingly the meeting was called for Tuesday last , at six o ' clock in the evening , Mr . Jobn Roddis in tbe chair . Mr . Jobn Howiett proposed Mr . John VTiimot as a fit person to r . present them in the forthcoming Coufcren . ce , to be held at Birmingham ; seconded by Mr . William Asbton . Mr . Wallis afterwards addressed the meeting ; afterwbich the proposition was put , and Mr .

EXBTKR . —At a public meeting held at the Corn Exchange , on Tuesday week , the first gentleman that waa proposed snd elected was James Platers , Wilkinson , Ef q , wine and spirit merchant , the only gentleman in Exeter , in his sphere of life , who comes out boldly and nobly . and advocates the rights of "the poor and the oppressed . We can depend on Mr . Wilkitoou . He is sincere and honest in all his intentions—a mnn which every poor man it able to call his friend , h « is beloved and respected by all that know him . The ottwr delegate is Mr . Davy , of Crediton , who will represent that town as welL
CARLISLE . PDBLIC MKETISa TO ELECT MKMBEBS FOB THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE . —On the evening of Tuesday last , a public meeting was called ( by beat of drain ) in tbe Beaming Machine Boom , Water-lane , for tbe purpose of choosing persons to represent the working classes of this place , in the forthcoming Birmingham Conference . At the time appointed , a number of persons assembled , when it was discovered that the meeting had not been called in accordance with the Sturge circular calling the Conference ; so that it was considered proper to get np a requisition to tbe Mayor , requesting him to call a meeting for the above purpose . On Monday last , a deputation waited upon his worship with the requisition , when he told thea that it was quite illtgal for
him to call any meetings except for choosing members of Parliament . The deputation urged that their proceeding was strictly legal , and that the Mayor was either at liberty to call tbe meeting or not , as fee thought proper ; but in case of his refusing to do so , they would consider themselves at liberty to rfo so . Arrangements are being made for calling the public meeting , when we expect the working men will , by their numerous attendance and orderly demeanour show themselves worthy of exercising those rights , for the possession ef which they are struggling . We believe tbe Council of the Chartist Association have been corresponding with Mi . White , of Birmingham , on the subject of getting two proper persons to represent the working classes of this place in the conference , which proceeding will be attended with
much less expense , than by sending men from thiB locality , indeed the present state of the funds will not admit of it ; though we have no doubt if active exertions were made , that a sufficient sum might be raised for the purpose , indeed we have a proof of it in the election of a delegate to the late Conference at Manchester . On that occasion the money required for the purpose was all raised in the course of a few hours , by appointing active collectors to the various districts of the town . We should much prefer sending a man from amongst the people to tepreafint them , fo * he must necessarily be much better acquainted with the condition of the people than a stranger can possibly be ; however , if this cannot now be accomplished there is no alternative , , 'if the people are t © be represented at all ) bnt that to which the council have resorted . In the
mean money will be wanted even f « r this purpose so that every good friend to the cause ought to exert himself in his own locality to raise the necessary funds . We shall send a fnll and accurate report of the proceedings at the public meeting The Cablisle Wobkikg ' Mek's Ment . ii Improvement SocrETv .. —The members of this society continue to increase , and several additional wotks have been plaoed in the library . A very aniaatod discussion took place at tbeir room , No . 6 , Johnstieet , Caldewgate , on the following question : —•• Are we progressing towards a happier state of human existence ? " It was contended by Messrs , Barker and Armstrong , that we are professing towards a happier state of human existence , in proof of which , they took a retrospective view of the history of this and other ooBntrte * , and pointing out in a somewhat striking and interesting manner the barbarous and superstitious
state of tbe people in former ages ; tbe progress of dviliiation ; the great and important discoveries ; and the rapid improvements in arts and sciences . They WOW opposed by Mr . Bowman , who took a very comprehensive and extensive view of the question in all its bearing * He admitted the correctness and cogency of tbe reasoning of these who had preceded him . He admitted it was beantiful hi theory , bat he was much afraid that it weuld not bear th » severe test of practical experience . It was an easy task for poets to sing and philosophers to write their themes of imaginary hnman happiness ; but it was jnst as difficult to point oat the means of practically enjif ing that high state of human enjoyment of which they have been writing . We may be pleased , ( said Mr . Bowman , ) nay even delighted , with the pert * song and the philosopher ' s theme , and rise from their perusal with eager hopes and high expectations ; bat alas l no sooner do . we enter the troubled ocean of human life than we behold misery .

destitution , wretchedness , and want meeting our gaze ou every side ; and ws feel chagrined and disappointed , and fully convinced that we have been perusing a parcel of day dreams and Utopian theories . Mr . Bowman then proceeded at great length to pourtray the present state of society , as compared with former ages of our history , and contended that just in proporUon as improvements in machinery had taken place , in the same proportion had the comforts of the working man decreased , and his labour increased . To bear him out in this view of the question he read several quotations from Mr . Hobson ' s « POOR MAN'S COMPANION AND Almanack , " and also from Mr . Cobbett ' s history of the Protestant Reformation . Mr . Bowman continued —are we progressing towards a happier state of human
existence , when the . man who stands forward at a public meeting , and exposes the corruptions of the state and the villainous robberies which are committed on the poor ; and who proclaims in a voice of thunder the immutable rights of man , which pierces the hearts of tyrants , ia Beized by some blue liveried ruffian , thrown into a prison—tried on tbe perjured evidence of this scoundrel , and doomed to a dungeon ' s gloom , or banished from his country , his home , and his family for ever ? In the words of a great and eminent poet , "Woe to thee England , shame and sorrow to thee England , when the walls of a prison house are the only reward of the asaerter of public right ; bnt it is said , this is to secure peace and trarquility . Yes ! but it will be the peace
of the grave , the tranquility of slaves ; it Will be found only in the triumph of despotism , tbe destrnction of public liberty and theiprostratlon of the Bubject ; it will be found only in tbe tomb of England ' s liberty .- ' Are we progressing towards a happier state of hnman existence , whrn the judgement seat is desecrated by a corrupt and partial judge , who directs a prejudiced jury to find all men guilty of sedition or high treason who profess certain political opinions ? Alas ( our once happy country 1 The seeds of reformation may have been sown , but the fruits have not yet appeared ; the btar of freedom may have arisen , but its enlivening and cheering influence , has not yet shone upon us ; the Goddess of Literty may have sounded the requiem of tyranny and injustice , but the
welcome sound has not yet reached our shores . Mr . Bowman then dwelt on the various remedies proposed for removing the present distress , and concluded as follows -. —Restore to tbe people their natural and constitutional rights of choosing their own representatives to make the laws , and we will stake our existence that in a few years the mest salutary changes will take place . We shall speedily effect the total destruction of monarchy with all its train of corruptions and abuses ; we shall have a revision of the pension list , and a great reduction of the salaries of all public officers ; we shall have a just appropriation of church property , in taking away the pow « r from those
who unjustly possess all tbo patronage ; we shall put an end to non-residence , sinecurism and pluralism ; and effectually check the rapacious maws of . the present clergy ; we shall literally destroy and sweep ^ way the Protestant church as it at present exists in Ireland , where it is not only a monrtrous nuisance , but a gross oppression ; we bhall , of coulee , take away the present immense revenues of the crown ; we shall revise , or rather dispense a . together with tbe civil list , and all hereditary revenues ; we shall reform the courts of law and judicial administration—the funding system , and other departments of public business ; we shall most effectually do away with all monopolies , and secure to the people a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work .
EDINBURGH . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh was held in Dr . Ritchie ' s church , Potter-row , on Monday , December 5 th , to consider the propriety of sending delegates to represent the citizens of Edinburgh at the forthcoming Conference , to be held at Birmingham , John Dunlop , Esq ., of Brocklock , was called to the cbair , who read the placard calling tbe meeting , and mode a few preliminary observations . The Rev . D . Robertson then addressed the meeting , and concluded by moving a resolution , that tbe meeting agret ) to send six delegates to that Conference , about to be convened for the purpose of preparing the draft of an act of parliament , embodying the principles of Complete Suffrage , and of deciding on a fit and proper person to bring it into tbe House of Commons . The motion
was carried unanimously . Six candidates were then nominated , namely : —Rev . Dr . Ritchie , J . Dunlop , Esq , Joseph Sturge , Etq ., T . S . Duncombe , Esq , Henry Rinkin , and Robert Lowery , Esq . The chairman was proceeding with the election when Mr . dimming , an old Chartist , and councillor of tbe Edinburgh Chartist Association rose and said he had some questions to put to the candidates . He asked Mr . R . Lowery , should be be sent to the Conference if he would support the Charter in all its leading points and details , name and all . Mr . Lowery rose and said , he ^ id not know of such a document as the People ' s Charter . It was an act to amend tbe representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament , which some persons called th « People ' s Charter . He would not support its details
* * pre * aed strong disapprobation of that part wii » ::. excluded persons convicted of crime from the elective franchise . He also objected to that part which assigned certain duties connected with elections to pariib clerks . Mr , Camming then toee ag&ln to tftBt Mr . Lowe-ry still farther . A great uproar ensued , the Complete Suffragists hissing and yelling so as to make it impossible to hear a word . It was then moved , " That it be not allowed to catechise the candidates . " The Chartist party , however , insisted on their right to question any candidate . Mr . Camming again attempted to proceed , but was bullied and brawbeat by tbe Sturgites , and assailed with cries of "Put him down . " " Turn him out . " The Chairman at last succeeded In restoring quiet . Mr . dimming then advanced to tbe
platform , and appealed to the audience , as lovers of freedom , to allow him a hearing . He condemned the objections of Mr . Lowery as weak , paltry , and a mere subterfuge and cover for ulterior design meditated and sought in conjunction with the middle classes to be put in operation for the destruction of the existing Chartist machinery and organization . He animadverted severely upon the inconsistency of Mr . Lowery in voting at the meeting of Scottish delegates , held lately In Whitfleld Chapel , to send a delegation from Eiiinbnrgh to tbe Conference on tbe principle originally laid down by the Birmingham Council , wbich excluded the non-electors from taking any part in tbe election of one half of the members , to attend that Conference ; and gave an equal number of representatives to 600 000 electors , notwithstanding their immense disproportion in numbers to the working classes , in tbe very teeth of the principles of Universal Suffrage ,
and equal repBeBentation , which he made It his business to teach . He said he could not place conflence In Mr . Lowery , and he proposed Mr . Cocbrane in hia place . This was the signal for another uproar , so that the speaker found it impossible to go on , , and retired , saying the best thing they could do was to make a present of Mr . Lowery to Joseph Sturge . Mr . Peters seconded the nomination ; but Mr . Lowery had tbe majority on a show of bands being taken . Mr . Lennie proposed a resolution , binding the delegates to sanction no compromise with the Free Traders , which was lost Mr . Blackie next moved that the meeting pledge itself to raise subscriptions to defray the expences of the delegation , which was carried unanimously . Dr . Riccbie then addressed the meeting ; and Mr . Lowery being called for , spoke for some time . He ridiculed the idea of sticking to the past , as obstructive and detrimental to tbe political advancement of the people . The meeting was then dissolved .
DAX . XEITB . —A public meeting was held in the Mason ' s Hall , Mr . Taylor in the cbair , on Friday , to hear a lecture from Mr . Robert Lowery , upon the necessity of union amongst all Reformers , to remove the demoTaliEition , and to prevent tbe destruction of property , anarchy , and bloodshed , arising from aristocratic legislation . The lecturer handled the subject in his usual talented manner . The meeting was also called to elect a delogate to the Birmingham Conference , but as tbo proper notice—four days , had not bten given of the meeting , on the advice of Mr . Lc wery , that part of the business was postponed . It Was then agreed to call a public meeting of the district on an early day , when the meeting broke up .
ZtASSWADE . —A lecture was delivered in Bonnyrigg School-room , on Tuesday last , by Mr . Fraser , late ot Leeds , which gave great fatiefactio ; i . His glowing account of the oppression practised in the English manufacturing districts , by those tyrants who are crying out for union with those they are oppressing caused much sensation . LEICESTER . —That the severe policy pursued by the " Shaksperian Brigade , " towards all new-moveit , was the only correct policy , has just been proved , in Leicester , to a demonstration . Mr . Cooper , since hta liberation , has been endeavouring to effect a union with such of the middle-classes , in that town , as have long borne a reputation for uprightness and philanthropy , —such of them , especially , as have been in the
babit of proclaiming that their " arms were bared for Universal Suffrage ; " and the approaching Sturge Conference seeming to offer an opportunity fox coming to &n understanding with sincere men , Mr . C , commissioned by bis Brigade , " offered terms of union . The hypocrites , however , called a secret meeting to elect their own men , and thereby raised the gall of the workies . In another part of our paper , Mr . C . himself opens the whole of this matter , —and the result of it has been the entire frustration of the deceitful purposes of the sturgites . Mr . Cooper delivered two discourses in the amphitheatre , last Sunday , —subjects : " Characteristic earnestness of the disciples of Truth , " and " Omnipotence of Truth . " On Monday night , Mr . George White , of Birmingham , delivered a thoroughly democratic address , in the same building , amidst tbe
frequent and enthusiastic plaudits of the Sbakspereans . it was a night of great enjoyment White is a spirit of the right sort tor the Leicester lada . <« The Lion ol Freedom" was sung at the commencement , 3 n chorus , and " When Britain first by heaven ' s command , " by Mr . Cooper , with *• Spread the Charter" as chorus , at the conclusion , both at George White ' s request . A social party was kept np , at Mr . Cooper ' s coffee-room , till midnight , where Mr . Johnstone ( a very noble and effective tenor ) gave the old Commodore ' s " Brave Northern Star" Mr . Duffey gave the comic Irish melody " O'Brannlgan . " Mr . Cooper gave the melody of " The Holy Clerk of Copmanhurst , " in Ivanhoe , " The Barefooted Friar , " fixed , by himself , to an old Lincolnshire sir , —and other members of the "Brigade , " contributed to the enlivenment of the evening .

Upon what frivolous pretexts have some of the most sanguinary wars been engaged in .

tbe torrents of human blood poured forth as water —the millions of lives sacriflced—the desolation of her people—the flames of her palace—and herself wandering , a beggar , from city to eity , she must have died with horror upon the spot Thus do men—who can do nothing but by union , who can be happy only by peace —madly arm themselves for tbeir misery , and fight for the accomplishment of their xain ;—and -when the din of war ia ended , they behold the earth lying in desolation , the » rts buried , and their real sower annihilated .
