    ATHLOKE POOR LAW UNION . ( From the Athlone Sentinel . J LATOLOBD AND TEHANT . —EJECTMENT OF TENANTBY . The board of guardians held their usual weekly meeting on Saturday , Mi . G . Dillon , of Coolmuck , in the chair . Amongst those who applied for admission was a yoath named Michael Gosling , aged about eighteen , and four sisters , varying from fourteen to seven years of age .

    On the applicaEts coming into the room , the chairman asked him if the four little girls were his sisters ? Gosling—Yes , yer honour , they are , sure enough . Chairman— Where is your fsaaei 1 Gosling—He ' s in America . * Chairman—Where ' s yonr mother ! Gosling— "Troth I don ' t know , yer honour : but I b'lieve she went to my fathtr when we were turned out . Commissioner—Who turned you out ? Gosling—Mr . Hill did . Commissioner—Who is Mr . Hill ! Gosling . —Divil a oneofmysel knows . He only come there some years agone as agent , an ids the sore day to us aU . He ' s agent , I heard , to Mr . Dinney . Commissioner—Oh ! you lived on the Balljkseran property .

    Gosling—Yes , yer honour ; bud I was turned out three weeks since , and 1 was trying tosupport mjsel and the childer here till I was ladin' a horse that run away wnd me , an' hurt my leg ; and as I wasn ' t able to work , 1 was forced to let mysel an' themsels come in here . Chairman—Did you get any money when you were turned ont ! Gosling—My mother got 30 a . for throwing down the house . Chairman—How much land had you ! Gosling—Three roods , jer honour , and a schramogne of a garden . Chairman—How many families weie turned out 1 Gosling—Forty families , wud six or seven , and sometimes eight and nine , in every one of them .

    Chairman—That is , on the lowest calculation , 280 swuls at a clearing . Well , it was not a bad day ' s work , certainly . Do you know John Doyle 1 Gosling—Faith an' to be sure I do , your reverence . Hell be in the next week wud you : he ' s strivin' to keep ont , bud he won ' t be able , since he lost the bit if land , an' the 30 a . he got for knocking down the cabia be ped for getting jnto a room till May , bnt he won ' t be abie to support the family buyin' every thing . Chairman—Do you know Jem Heaton 1 Gosling—Sure enough 1 do , yer honour , for he got ten acres of the land , and more av I say id . Chairman—Well , as you got money for throwing down the houses and giving possession , I should suppose those who had land gave something for it to the agent , did they 1

    Gosling—Divil a one o ' mysel can well tell , only as the neighbours say . 1 heard Jem Heaton gave £ 7 or £ 8 - and Larry Dearden , every one knows , gave a heifer and a pound note , and got nine acres ; bnt though John Kearney gave £ 3 he only got an . acre . Captain Stubbs got the most entirely of ony one that ' s alL Chairman—Did Captain Stubbs give any money ! Gosling . —Don ' t you know well enough he did 1 I didn ' t see any of the money counted to be sure ; but the diva a perch any one got if they did not give some , and that every one knows , for any one that did'st was turned ont . Chairman— Was it Mr . Hill who goi all this money 1 Gosling—It was to be sure , and he'd take more av he got id , bnt he ' s in a stew now himself , for he ' s wrote against to the head man . Who wrote against him I

    Gosling— 'Troth one that knew how to do it well , Mr . Tem Gannon : sure your reverence knows him well enough . Chairman—Was there any money Bent to be given to the poor people when turned out 1 Gosling—The neighbours say there was , and that he robbed the peoplep-egularly , and didn ' tjgive them the half . Chairman—Who iB the owner of tha property 1 Gosling—Col . Bligh , yer honour . Chairman—Do Col . Bligh or Mr . Disney know of his work in BaUvkeeran ?

    Gosling—Bad manners to me if I can well tell ; but sure Mx . Gannon wrote to some of them and tould them all . Some -would say that the Colonel is a good man , an' av he knew id , he'd put a stop to id , an' some say they'd be no use in tellin' him about id , that his mind is pisoned wud lies and stories ; but mjsel doesn ' t think he knows ths half of id , for no Christian that thinks he has a sowl to be saved would do the like , more especially some of them that were lyin' or red hot out of the fever , ihe Lord save us , an' they were all hurled out in the door just like pigs you'd bedrivin'to a fair .

    Some of the guardians said Colonel Bligh ought to be written to on the subject , but there was no guardian present who knew him , and we , having taken notes , were requested to publish them , in the hope that the manner in which hiB property is managed in this part of the country might be made known to him .

    PUBLIC MEETING AT MARYLEBONE . A public me : ting of the inhabitants of the above place , was held on Monday evening , at the Social Hall , John-street , Tottenham Court-road , to hear the report of their delegates to the Birmingham Conference . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . Poizar proppaed , and Mr . Pelling seconded , " That Mr . Lovetttake the chair . " r This was unanimously agreed to and received with great applause .

    Mr . Lovett commenced by stating that he must crave their indulgence , as ho was suffering under severe indisposition . The chief object of tbe meeting was to enable their delegates to the Birmingham Conference to have a public opportunity of rendering an account of ther stewardship . From his personal knowledge of their conduot , he had every reason to believe their report would give perfect satisfaction , bat as it is al most impossible to please all parties , if any one felt disposed to express their dissatisfaction , he truBted they would be listened to with the same attention as though they were eulogistic in their praise . It was one peculiar advantage of Chartism that it courted inquiry , that it had everthing to gain by investigation , whilst Toryism , Whiggism , and other isms , the more they were investigated , the more their montrosities were

    apparent , ljestany one present should be unacquainted with the objects and establishment of the Complete Suffrage Union , he would , as an introduction to the report of their delegates , enter into a brief narrative of its origin . Mr . Lovett then gave an interesting account of the establishment and transactions of the Suffrage Union , until the calling together of the late Conference . He believed there was a growihg feeling in the country in favour of Chartism , which would ultimately force the legislature to agree to the principles of the Charter , and the same force of public opinion would also iorco them to adopt the details . He entertained the eame opinion now as he ever had done ; that their objects could never be peacefully attained until a cordial union was effected with the honest portion of the middle classes . Mr . L . on sitting down was loudly cheered . !

    Mr . Lucas having been called upon by the Chairman to report , stated that he had great pleasure in giving an account of his stewardship , and entered into a plain , circumstantial detail of the business transacted at the Conference , and of the manner in which his votes were giv . eu , and concluded by statins that he had voted for those measures which he believed were most calculated to benefit the public ; and if duty again called him , coine weal , come woe , he should be prepared to go forward in the cause ot humanity and justice —( cheert ) .

    Mr . Parky stated that he appeared before them in accordance with the usual and proper proceeding that individuals representing the opinions of a boJy of men upon important subjects , and being delegated by them , should give an account of the manner in which they had fulfilled that delegation . Tub objcot of the Conference was confessedly to unite by means of an enlarged and general investigation into the causes wiiicn had hitherto produced disunion , the wisest and most enlightened of the middle classes with-the working classes for the attainment ot the

    Suffrage . Upon the cardinal points , on which all legislation upon that subject must hioge , they were already united ; the previous Conference bad decided , almost unanimously , in favour of the principles of the Charter . The question to be decided was , with what details these principles should be surrounded bo as to secure their practical effect when brought ) into operation . This was a subject which it was necessary to approach with feelings of delicacy and forbearance , and as an individual he was actuated by those sentiments and those alone . It was well kuown that the Charter was fenced about with good

    practical details , that it had been long before the public , that it bad rallied about it almost more public opinion and support than any measure ever offered to the attention of a civilized people . This was a fact which could not bo got rid ot ; this the Complete Suffrage party seemed to have overlooked ; they had forgotten or overlooked that the Charter was the index of a large ana growiug public opinion . Here , then , the two parties camo into collision . A gentleman in the confidence of the Sturge parly moved a series of resolutions , three of which were admirable , but the fourth pledged them to take as

    the basis of discussion a Bill previously framed , of which they knew nothing . Tnis was manifestly unjust . In the House of Commons leave was asked to bring in a bill , if granted , it was brought in and placed in the hands of every member previous to it * going through the first , second , and third readings . Tbis should have been done at the Conference ; but instead of this they were asked to stultify themselves by comiug to a decision upon a bill of which they knew nothing . Mr . Lovett , who through a long and persecuted lite had adaered to the principJfs ol tha Charter , implored them to withdraw it or to substitute for it the Charter .

    Tina they refused . ( Hear . ) It had been said that they were contending about triflesabout a mere name . On th « part of the Charti 3 ts he denied this ; the Chartists lor many years had been an important section of Reformers ; year after year they had grown m strength , and without prolanity he might also cay , they have grown in . grace , and it was casting a complete insult upon this important body for a party to step forth at the eleventh hour and set aside that without which they would have bad no political existence . If it had not been for the people ' s staunch adherence to the Charter , where would have been either the Nonconformist newspaper , or the Complete Suffrage Union ? Their conduct was like the creature flying in the face ot

    its Creator , like a child flying in the face of its parent . He conceived there was a great moral principle attached to their remaining firm to the Charter ; he did not mean & bigotted attachment which would admit of no improvement , which would make it like the laws of the Modes and Persians ; such was not the meaning ol Mr . Lovett or ihose who supported him , for they went further Tney offered to take the two bills and discuss tliem claase by clause ; but even this the Complete Sutfrage party would not accede to , but determined to adhere to their mushroom bill and thereby shewed a desire on their part to be disunited . It was asserted that they were led by a blind bigotry to the Charier , which would admit of no discussion

    upon the subject . This assertion , whether put forward by . he press or by public meetings , he totally denied ; there was doc a word of- truth in it ; they were desrous of discussing it , of making improvements where it could be shewn that improvements were needed ; but they would not have tbe Charter superseded . If any other bill was brought forward , let il grow out of the Charter . The great objection urged against the the adoption of the Charter was theprejudices of theanddle classes ; when asked if they were worthy prejudices , they were compelled to answer they were not ; why , then , should they pander to unworthy prejudices ? no good was ever achieved by pursuing that temporizing line of conduct . Let them look at the agitation against the church ; nothing

    could be . more coniemptible than the conduct of Dissenters in that agitation ; they disliked , they denounced the church , but for peace sake , for the prejudices that existed in its favour , they would not lift up their voice in public , but ouiy iu their parloure and drawing rooms ; in public they inveighed against Ecclesiastical Courts and against church rates , but hinted not a word of the profane blasphemy of an alliance between Church and State ; and the consequence was that their agitation was a bye word and a reproach ; that it did not give the most bloated sineenrist a moment ' s qualm ; it had no principle of vitality in it ; it did not attack the great incubus , that monster-like preyed upon the vitals of religious freedom , and would nevtr be destroyed until they

    struck fearlessly at the root of the evil . If they ( the Chartists ) had given nay upon the name of the Charter they would havebeen placedin the same contemptible position . Did the early Christians abandon their name because of the opprobrium attached to u ? No ; it was given them as a nickname , but they stood firmly by it , through persecution and calumny until they made it a name before which Kings trembled and the nations of the earth bowed . And why should not Chartists equally abide by their name ? They had : suffered persecution , imprisonment , and even death in the cause—they . were denounced by the refined aristocratic press of the couatry as blackguards , as a disgrace to society—even uow , in well dressed compauy , to acknowledge yourself

    a Chartist , was to expose yourself to reproach . But should they yield to this feeling % No ; they should resist—th' y should conquer it , and eventually they would be sure to do bo . ho believed the opposition of the middle classes was to the principle and not to the name , and that they could never be convinced , until they found it impossible to carry their own one-aided measures , that would be schoolmaster , and not any Bill put forward by the Complete Suffrage Union . Idle objections had been raised about the violence of some Chartists , but they should not judge of a gem from the incrustations around it , but from its inherent lustre aud value . He believed that the middle classes felt themselves in&ulted by being asked to take the Charter under another name ; thuy asked whether they were considered such fools as to be gulled by a name . Call it by what name they would , its principles were tbe same ; they asked them to receive

    the Charter as a child is induced to swallow a pill in a JiUlo jelly or other gilding ; they thought that under the form of their monstrous Bill , the Charter would be so concealed as to glide in thejhearts of the middle classes . He ( Mr . Parry ) believed they would yet find themselves in error in following this course . He should wish to speak with respect of Mr . Sturge and his party , but he must maintain that their late conduct at the Conference , shewed that they wanted that enlarged capacity , that grasp of mind , which would have enabled them to scatter unworthy prejudices and have stood forward in advance of the great movement . He believed they would have stood a much better chance of success waen backed by a mighty public opinion in support of the Charter , than they now would , deserted , in a great measure , by the people , aud asked the middle classes to join a something they were afraid to call b \ ita owa name , although they might call it by

    a more respectable one ; nothing could be more glaring than their inconsistency in refusing to allow the Charter to be laid on the table at the Conference , and then going to another room , and laying it on the table , in conjunction with their own . He would not draw an inference of dishonesty from this , but he would say that they did not know what they were about . Mr . Parry then compared the conduct of the Sturge party in styling themselves theCoaference to that of the three tailors of Tooley-street , heading an address with " We the people of England ;" one was not a jot more ridiculous than the other . He then gave a brief glance at the amendment iu

    the Charter , relative to the loss of the franchise for crime , and concluded by alluding to the rain effort of the anti-Corn Law Lrague and impressed upon his audience the necessity of keeping firm to their agitation for the Charter , which he designated as the master-piece of policy , aa the key which would open the granaries to a famished people , as the only salvation for the working classes , and declared his conviction that if they were led away from this by any paltry prejudices against names or individuals , they would deeply and bitterly repent it . Mr . Parry was loudly cheered during tbe whole ot his address .

    Mr . WHEELEH . in giving in his report , stated his opinion that the Sturge party , in their seoession from the Conference , and their after conduct , had acted more like spoiled children than a body of intelligent , high-minded men , assembled to promote the welfare of the empire ; alluded to the amendments made in the Charter , to the origiual motion of Mr . Parry , and the amendment of Mr . White to the bad policy of the proposition , that the votes on that question should be published ; and stated his regret and disappointment that Mr . Lovett should have declined the offer made by Mr . Cooper on behalf of the Chartists , that he should assist in drawing up a plan of organiaatiou , under which the two Associations could have been merged into one grand whole ; he was in hopes they could have left Birmingham , declaring : — " The friends we ' ve tried are on our side ; The Iob we bate before us . "

    He supposed Mr . Lovett had not sufficient confidence in the tiuth of their desire for a union , or not sufficient faith in his own friends to acct pt the offer in the same spirit in which it was given ; he nevertheless trusted that they should continue to aot in amity , that party spirit should be abolished , and all belong to the party of the people . M < -. Marley , after apologising for the absence of Mr . Buchanan , in a neat address , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting having heard with pleasure the report of their delegates to the Birmingham Conference , cordially approve the course and conduct they pursued ou that occasion , more especially in their supporting the amendment— ' Tnat the People ' s Charter bo the basis of discussion '—and the conciliatory resolution proposed by Feargus O'Connor , and seconded by John Humphrey Parry . This meeting , therefore , returns them thtir sincere and warmest thanks . "

    Mr . Davog , in a long and eloquent speech , during which he was loudly cheered , seconded the motion . Mr . PuDDiFOEn , in a rambling manner , made some remarks upon what ho styled Mr . Parry ' s attack upon the body of Dissenters , which drew an explanation from Mr . Parry . Dr . Black addressed the meeting at sotna length . Their enemies , he asserted , expected to have had a rich harvest of defamation and abuse from the disputes they expected to arise in the Metropolitan election ; but they were signally defeated . No publie meetings ever passed off in a . more creditable manner . They were also doomed to have a similar disappointment at the Conference , and must have become convinced that the time for the destruction of their party by internal divisions had now gone by . He approved of the conduct of the Chartist delegates at the Conference ; they were in a position which

    compelled them to aot in the manner in which they had ; the forbearance they had shown in their hour of triumph to their opponents , and the conciliatory conduct and resolution which they came to , had won them the good opinion of many who weiv previously averse to them ; it had compelled them to give the Chartists credit for the virtue of moderation , which they would never previously allow that they possessed . Ho advised them to stand by their name and organization ; but at the same time not to oppose those who from prejudice could not exactly coincide with them . The most sanguiue of the Anti-Corn Law party thought they should be enabled to obtain tkat measure during the ensuing session , and , being disappointed in that , would flock iu thousands to the Charter standard , provided the Chartists did nothing to aggravate the breach existing between the two parties . He entirely coincided with the vote of thanks to their delegates .

    Mr . Hetueiungton , in a long and humourous address , supported tha resolution , and gave iiis testimony to tho honourable and prominent part taken by their delegates at the Conference . He rather disagreed with Mr . Parry , that in seceding from the Conference , the Complete Suffrage party did not know what they were about . He thought that they did know what they were about , and that it was their object to sever from the Cbartifts , and took that division as a fitting opportunity . They were got along with two or three hundred sterling Chartists , designated as violent men , < fec , and being naturally alarmed , they took the first opportusity of getting away . He was not sorry for this . He

    should rejoice at their making converts among the middle classes ; Itt it ; be under what name it would he did not believe that they would succeed ; but let them try . He thought the Conference had effected grtat good by uniting the sections of Chartists more firmly than they had hitherto been . Utifortunateij the Chartists had always most violently opposed those who approached nearest to them . He trusted a spirit of conciliation would be cultivated among thtm . Mr . Hetherington then alluded to the Corn Laws , and stated his opinion that on the failure of that scheme Chartism would receive a great accession of strength . The resolution was then unanimously carried .

    Mr . Bainbhidge moved and Mr . Farker seconded in excellent speeches the following resolution , which was unanimously carried : — M Tbat this meeting deeply regret the want of moral courage displayed by the Complete Suffrage pany at the Birmingham Conference , by not coming forth boldly in support of the People ' s Charter , a document containing the same principles as their Bill of Rights , thus pandering to unworthy prejudices , and preventing that cordial union amongst all parties which is bo universally desired . " It being now a very late hour , a vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr . Lovett for his services in the chair .

    Mr . Lovett , iu raply , stated that at such a late hour , he should not long detain them , but he wished to make some observations on what had fallen from Mr . Wheeler . He then entered into some explanations of a clause in the Charter alluded to by Mr . Wheeler , and stated in reference to the proposition of Mr . Cooper , that he did not understand him to mean anything relative to a prospect of blending the views and actions of the two associations , or he should distinctly have stated his opinion upon the subject . If the members of the National Chartist Association , were prepared to come up to the views of the National Association , to which they had hitherto been partly opposed , he should feel glad of the

    proposition . The members of the National Association believed that to prepare the people to use power wisely when they had obtained it , it was necessary to have a systematic plan of political and general education . They also differed on another point ; they believed that one half of the human race were excluded from political pov ^ er , and that until woman possessed equal political and social rights with man , tho human race would never be placed in a favourable position ; that while woman was kept in her present degraded condition , she would never exercise the important influence she possessed , so as to conduce to the achievement of man ' s political rights ; they were therefore in favour of educating woman to enable her to fulfil that high destiny to which she was entitled . If the members of the National Charter Association would come up to these views , he should

    have noi objection to unite and agitate conjointly with them , but to carry this out , they must do away with that spirit of intolerance which has been too prevalent among them . They must allow those possessing . different views to carry thorn out without hostility . Taey , Mr . Lovott ' s party , had been traduced and maligned , but if they were willing to throw the mantle of oblivion over the past , they must insist upon the same mantle being thrown over other classes who were going forward for the same object ; they must depend for success upon the exercise of " their reason , upon the moral influence of their honesty and intelligence , and not attempt to browbeat or bully others into their opinion , and when this course was adopted , when the dictates of reason , integrity , and enlightened knowledge were brought into active operation , no government would be able to stand against them . ( Loud cheers . )

    SUNXHBBXtACTD . We have received a very long report » f an important meeting at Sunderland , between Mr . James Williams , and Mr . Kidd , of Glasgow , relative to the conduct of Mr . Williams , in the late Conference , in shirking the Charter and ChartistB , and acting with the bturgites , after they had grossly intuited the entire people , and belied , by their actions , the principle of Universal Suffrage . This report , which appears to be a perfectly fair one , if we may judge from its tone asd spirit , is nearly all in type ; but a pressure of general news compels ob to defer its insertion until next week . For the present , therefore , we must content ourselves with giving the resolution passed by the meeting , ( a Tery numerous one ); and sliall give the full report , Betting forth theu ^ jtt and because * . in our next paper : —

    Resolved— " That it is the opinion of this meeting the conduct of FevrguB O'Connor , Esq ., in exposing the dishonest and treacherous trickery and shuffling of Mr . James Williams , as one of the delegates from Sunderland , to the Birmingham Conference , was manly and straightforward , and entitles that gentleman to the thanks , gratitude , and confidence of the hard-TTorkiDg , ill-used , sons of toil throughout Great Britain and Ireland ; and it is also of opinion that every word written oa that subject in the Evening Star of the 3 rd of this present month , is strictly in accordance with truth , and justifies us in withdrawing a . ny conficenee which we reposed in Mr . James Williams , in the early part of . the Charust ij ;;; i . uca . ' '

Bravery , the per 8 onwhoae corn and mill were destroyed by fire , as reported in the | Star of the 14 th , died suddenly while superintending his men , who were clearing away the ruins j of the mill , and preparing for its reDuilding . It appears that the deceased left homo in his chaise , about one o ' clock ou Thursday , apparently in good health , and after remaining a short time with the men , he retired to a stable on the premises , where , in a few minutes after , ho was found by one of the workmen lying across some sacks quite dead .

    PERTH . —Female Lecturer—Wehavehadthe pleasure of two { lectures from Helen M'Donaid , a young lady aged eighteen , in our Guild Hall , upon the neglect of Female Education , or the Rights of Woman ; in which she pointed out how wodkb were at first prevented from speaking in public , showing that it was the first cause of the present system of curtailing their education , aided by bigotry and superstition , to which she applied the whip pretty smartly . The propriety of giving females a superior education was then ably advocated , and in the course of which a few able remarks were made upon the justice administered in the Senate House , on the

    Bench , and at the Bar . Spiritual teachers were not left in the hack-ground , but , above all , the splendid observations on the evils of War , will not be soon forgotten . She then concluded the first ; lecture , by advisihg every young woman , to do all in her power to emancipate her countrywomen ; her second lecture went principally to show the evil effects produced b ! y the bad examples of parents , in which the evils of [ drunkenness were painted in such a way as to be worthy of the notice of every one . Her advice to mothers was very affecting , and the whole was delivered so as to be interesting to all , and offensive to none , i

Ferrand was not acquainted with the fact ; that he , Varley had , on the same day , gone to Bradford and executed the warrant contrary to orders gi ^ en ; and 'ha * he had brought the person to Bingley the same night , and received from him tho sum of £ 4 for his safe appearance the next morning .
