JOSEPH GOULDING AGAIN I ( From our London Correspondent . ) "WoRsnip-STKBBt Police Coubt , Satubdat , Ape . il 17- — Mr . William Drake , » respectable shoemaker , carryin g on business on his own account , in Brick-lane , Spit&lfielda , appeared to a summons obtained against him by the notorious Goulding . ¦ wh ose participation in the memorable Bethnal Green meeting his been already made known to the readers of the Northern Star . The charge was this : —On the Sunday evening previous , Goulding was present at a lecture given at the Hall of Science , City Road , where ho was seated on the platform , in company with the Heverena Richard Caxiile , his son , and the 1 * 4 y ¦ who lectured on the occasion , whom Goulding described as " Mrs . Car Hie . " The defendant was also present , in the body of the meeting ; in the course of the evening .
he advanced to the platform , and ) addressing the audience said , " Are yoa aware you hare got a Government spy in the room ; the fellow who betrajad the Bethnal Green Chartists , and sold poor Boggis . " When the defendant said this , he was close to Goulding"s elbow ; the audience arose , and a momentary confusion ensued ; Goulding addressing them , and assured he"traa not the character be had been represented to be , fcy which means order was restored , and nothing else transpired till the audience were separating ; when a joung man mot the defendant ) addressing Goulding , said " I should like . " " Like what ? " inquired Goulding . " To run a hole through sneh a vagabond as you ; " replied the young man referred to . It was in consequence of this , that the present defendant was summoned . ¦
The complainant swore that he went in continual bod . ly fear , and handed in to the Magistrate a letter from the Reverend Mr . Carlile , denouncing " the road and mischievous Chartists , " and wishing Goulding success , as he ( the writer ) " knew him to be engaged in a pood cause . " Strange to say , Mr . Brougbton read thislett « r , ( Which could not possibly have anything to do with the case , ) while be continually and repeatedly protected the " fellow" ( as defendant's solicitor termed him ) GouMing , fn > m giving any answer to questions relative to the Bethnal Green spy job , oi \ t of which Mr . Drake ' s denunciation arose .
In reply to 3 fr . Bronghton , as to the complainant ' s credibility on his oath , Goulding swore that he did not believe Jesus Chris : ever existed as a man , though he believed in his T ) ivinity , and in a future state of rewards and punishments . He first described bimstlf as a shoemaker , living at 173 , New North-street , Castle-street , Finsbury ; and afterwards stated that he was entitled by law to be ca'led Reverend , as he had taken out a license for preaching as a Protestant Dissenter . He went in fear of personal Tiolence , as he had no doubt t . ' ; at the " low , ignorant fellows among the Chartists , who talked of burning houses and stabbing policemen , would not mind wardering him . " Mr . Hunt , a solicitor , appeared on behalf of the defendant , und contended that , though Goulding had gone through the form of takin ? an . oath , it was plain there was nothing in the Holy Gospels , which had been put into his hands , that could at all be considered binuing on his conscience .
Mr . Brougbton overruled the objection , inasmuch as the complainant had declared his belief in a state of future rewards and punishments , and this was deemed in law sufficiently binding on the consciences of persons giving evidence en oath . But even if he were an infidel , or an atheist , that was no reason why he-should be denounced to a publio meeting , and be rendered liable to be torn in pieces ! Mr . Hunt then proceeded to cross-examine Goulding . Most of the questions , however , which tended to elucidate the share he took in the Bethnal Green affair , were refnsed to be answered by the witness ; in ¦ which Mr . Broughton upheld him , on the ground that ,
even if he had armed the Chartists , and even if ha were a tpy , he was there under the protection of the law . Gonlding swore positively that he had nothing to do with the arrest of Boggis , and that he knew of the circumstance ordy from reading it in the paperi ! Be did not wear a short blue cloak wh * n Boggis was taken , nor was he near the spot that morning . He never advised a ptrson named Spencer , nor any one fel < e th « . t he recollected , to take arroa . He had known Mr . Drake , tha defendant , about two years ; and had hail no dispute with him , /• his knowledge ; they might have had trordt , but he did not believe they ever
quarreled-An eccentric-looking personage named Wilby , who dtscribrd himself as a schoolmaster , came forward to support the complainant's alleeations . In reference to tha person who propounded the experimental desire to drill n hole in Mr . Gflulding ' s body , the witness did not say he was drunk , but thought he was TncntaHy txcittd . He didn't beliexx there were four ChartitU in the room . When the i ! efendant said , " Are you aware that you have a Government spy in the room , " every body knew he me ^ nt Goulding . John Brett , a cabinet-maker , also supported the complainants charge : in his cross-examination , he said , when Drike first made the allegation , there was great disturbance and noise , some talking one way and fetme ani . ihtr ; there "vras , however , plenty of time to cool , and they were cool enough afterwards ; for G- ul < ling got up and made a speecb , but the defendant had kfl the meetinn then .
Mr . Hunt then addressed the magistrate on behalf of the defendant . These parties had been conntctod together in some transactions which involved the coinplaicMit in circumstances of more than strong suspicion : from some motive ( perhaps a very substantial one , for he was better off now ) , Gaulding had separated from the Chartists , when he had trepanned them into an illegal meeting , anil information had been given 'it was believed by Goulding himself \ to the higher powers . But wlure was this alleged breach of the peace , with which the defendant was charged , committed ? According to the complainant ' s own statement , it was at a time and in a place when and where no respectable
person would venture to be present . They were hearing a lecture , on a Sunday evening , from a woman whom Goul'iing had sworn was Mrs . Carlile ; but of whom the ! es 3 tbat vras said the better . The defendant had used no threat , even by implication ; he had merely asked a question , whether the meeting " were aware thit they had a spy among them ? " True , Goulding had sworn that be went in bodily fear , but his actions contradicted it , for he asserted that he came forward and satisfied the meeting , because he wa 3 better liked than Drake . Wpre he ( the solicitor ) to go into other matters , the fello-sr Goulding wonld not look so pleased as he d ; il then . On the whole , be contended it was not racb a case as called for the interference of the
magistrate . Sir . Brouehton said , there could be no doubt that the complainant was entitled to the protection of the law , -whatever he might once have been . If he had gone to the Court of Queen ' s Bench , he might have exhibited articles of tbe peace on his own affidavit , withcot any inv < stigation taking place , as was usual before a magistrate . As to bis political ot religious fancies—whether he chose to connect himself with the Cbariii-ts or with Mr . Carlile , —whom he ( the
magistrate ! thought fitted far another great building in the neighbourhood , iSt . Luke ' s , ) than for a Hall of Science — whether he choose to convtrt the Saviour into a mere spirit , or to take any other fancy , he ( Mr . Broughton ) had nothing to do with it : any one who held him out to t > e A SPY was guilty of a serious offence , and answerable for any violence that might ensue . He should therefore require the defendant to find two sureties in £ : ! 0 each , and enter into his own recognizances in £ 40 , to answer any indictment that might be preferred against him at the sessions .
The sureties were instantly entered into , and the defendant was liberated . [ To those readers of the Star who may remember the ciicumiurces which came to light before the committee of the Vrc .-rking' Men ' s Association , appointed to inquire into the conduct of Goulding relative to the Bethnal Grfen s-pv-concocted meeting , it may not be unintereiting to know , that , since Mr . Goulding borrowed a few p = nce of Mrs Neesom to pay for a little soup , and represented himself to be in a state of pecuniary destitution . Fortune has been more liberal in her dealings with that gentleman . He appeared in court , on this occasion , attired in the most fashionable manner , with a csstly watch-equipage ( if not a watcb ) , a massive gold ring on the little finger of his right hand , a slap-up cane , ana all the paraphernalia of a West-end " swell . " Mr . Drake was attired as small tradesmen usually % re ,
neatly but . homtly . Altogether , no ene could look at the conplainant ( who described himself as a journeyman shoemaker ) and the defendant , ( who was stated by the policeman that served the summons on him , to be " a re = psctable master shoemaker , who had been for seme time in his present house , " j without coming to the conclusion that iournfyman-snobbing is a much better trade than master snobbing . " Never judge ot a man by his dress , " is a trite bat true axiom . Still , however , great credit is due to such industry as that of Mr . Goulding , by means of which so much has been accomplished in so short a period ; and that , too , without negltctinp his trife and family ! We wish all bonesl journeymen shoemakers ceuld " cut the puggy " to the same tuao as tbeir brother Crispin does , by minding their own business , and letting other people ' * alone , (?>///]

r oimTCDE iv Children . —A very alarming accident lately elicited much fortitude in two little girb . One evening last week , Mr . John Neale , the son of the 1-ndlora at the Mitre Tavern , at Portaea , was taking his two young sisters home from school , through the New Forest , in a chaise-cart ; when part of the harness snapped , the horse was frightened , and the cart was upset . All were thrown out . Mr . Neale had bis hip broken and his ancle dislocated . His sister Agnes , who is ten years of age , was scalped from the forehead to the back of tbe
head ; and Adeline , the other sister , a year younger , had her arm broken . The young man was quit * it sensible ; and tbe little girls , in Bpite of their sufferings , managed to draw their brother to the roadside , and then set out in search of assistance . Afier wandering in the Forest for about an hour , they found the house of one of the keepers . Here tho eldest sister remained , being quite exhausted , the other guided the keeper to the place where Mr . IV < sic lay ; and he was carried to the Crown Inn at Ljndhufst , where he remained in a state of considerable daBger .

THE EASTER RECESS IN THE POLITICAL - WORLD . The Easter recess passes away with unequalled quiet in the political world . The closing of Parliament used to entice the Members to exchange the arduous struggles of either House for the lighter oratory of political meetings throughout the country , affording an agreeable diversity of excitement , and enabling each party to renew the interest of its adherents in the provinces . This season there has been nothing of the kind . Members have not sought their constituents , to commune with them on pending measures ; because there are no measures pending—none expected or intended to passwhich any constituency cares about . Members have not run down to their homes , to revive the interest of political questions among their local supporters , because
there is no interest to revive : interest in the party questions of the day is clean gon « % Members feel little ' themselves , and have no motive for effort . They know that the people see through the stale counterfeits , Whig , Tory , Radical ; and they cau no longer spur themselves to the bootless office of simulating a zeal which no one feels . It is too much to go even a mile from the snug country house merely to say that they wish this or that party to draw the salary of office ; and that is all they could Bay . So they just stay at home , resting after the aimless and irksome labour of walking in and out of the lobbies to divide . In this universal negation , we see the character of the time : even professed busy bodies and dealers in public meetings , the most indefatigableof political traders , are worn out With the tedium of carrying on sham contests .
Nevertheless , there must be some show of action when Parliament meets again ; and the daily broad sheets , which must be filled in the holidays as in session-time , have been pointing to th » future with a make-believe of preparation . Nothing newer promises at present , however , than a return to the great showfights of the past half-sessien , on the Irish Registration Bills and the New Poor Law . The party journals occasionally blow a note or two , like minstrels of old , carrying on the battle-song while the combatants are nating : t ! . e Ministerial Chronicle sings the wrongs of Irish electors , to brace up the nerves of Lord Morpeth and his rtt . ihiurs ; the Times chants the tricks of Whig Registration schemes , to fire the fury of c . Stanley , or the iniquities of the Poor Law , to keep up the effervescence of a Wakley . —Spectator .

AGAIN LORD CARDIGAN . The following statement has been addressed to tho Editor of the Morning Chronicle , by " An Old Soldier : ""You will , I hope , allow me , through the medium of your columns , to call attention to the following plain statement . —A private of the 11 th Hussars was drunk on leaving the barracks , at Brighton , and was subsequently tried by a district Cjurt-martial , and sentenced to corporal punishment His ttial took place on Thursday , and thn approval of the Court-martial was received , at Hounslow , on tho Sunday morning . On Sunday , tbe 11 th Hussars were marche * into the Riding School , for divine service . Prayers were read , and a
sermon was presetted . On the conclusion of divine service , the trumpet-major was ordered to make filnga ready for corporal punishment . And in this Riding School , and on a Sunday , where not an hour befora the whole regiment wtre engaged in prayer , Private Rogers , of the 11 th Hussars , was tied np and flogged , receiving one hundred lashes . I trust , for the credit of the s ; rvice and the country , the matter will be brought before Parliament , and a full inquiry Instituted . The general public , I am sure , will agree with me , without entering into the question of flogging , or whether Private Rogers deserved it or not , that on no account conlrt the commanding effiew of the 11 th Hussars be justified in carrying the punishment Into effect on a Sunday , and in the place appointed that day for divine
worship . " How the character of the man is marked in this proceeding . The approval of the sentence arrived on Sunday morning , and so eager was the noble Colonel for the execution of it , that he could not wait even till Monday , but the Sabbath i must be desecrated by a punishment after prayers ! What a sequence to the voice of prayer the sound of the lash !—the scourge after devout supplication —the groans of the sufferer after the lessons of mercy ! ¦
_ . . Tho Bishop of London has counted the boats that have passed- under Fulham Bridge on a Sunday . Did they profane the holy day more than a hundred lashes ; and what will the Right Reverend Prelate , who has borne such loud testimony against the sins of green-grocers and pastry-cooks , say of the desecration of the Sabbath by the noble Colonel of the Eleventh ? * Is keeping open a Btall a le ^ s scandal than flaying a human back ! Is plying the butcher ' s trade lees allowable than plying the cato' -uinetails ?
Lord Cardigan ' s defence will probably be that the rich man is as much entitled to hU pleasures on the Sunday as the poor man , and that he sees no more reasou why he should forego one ministration to his enjoyment than snother , av . d that the work of the hands that wield the cat-o ' -nine-tails must be as much a : his command as that of his French cook . One appetite , however , can wait , though tho other cannot ; and , for the sake of public decewcy at Iea 3 t , Lord Cardigan muet learn to postpone his graafications in the way of punishments for forty-eight hours , when tho approval of the sentence happens to arrive on Sunday morning . We have hitherto opposed every bill for the bitter observance of the Sabbath ; but as we are far more hostile to the introduction of bitterness in the
violation of the Sabbath , than to the introduction of bitterness in the observance of it , we will promise to give our best aid iu support of a bill to prohibit Hogging iu the army on the Sabbath day . It may be remembered that wo lately showed that the severities of Lord Cardigan had first been exercised on the privates of bis regiment , and that , when checked in that direction b y Sir C . d'Albiac , they were transferred to the officers . From the present sign we infer that the officers have a respite ; it would be too imprudent to open fresh quarrels with them just now , bo the men are to have their turn again , and to mark the eagerness for the puuishmeut , by suffering or seeing the infliction of it ou the Sabbath . —Examiner .

CHARTIST MEETING IN MANCHESTER . We had a spirited and overflowing meeting on Sunday evening last , in the Tib-street Chartist Room , to hear Mr . C . Connor and Mr . C . Doyle , two Irish Chartists . Mr . Wheeler , after making a few preparatory remarks on the progress of the cause , introduced Mr , Connor to the meeting . Mr . Co . nxor rose and said—He was willing at every opportunity to vindicate the rights and liberties of men of his own order , and would , he trusted , continue to do till they were possessed of those rights and immunities which justice and tbe laws of Crod and nature entitled Himself and them to . ( Cheers . ) Pie
would not have needed to be there if tbe parsons of this country ( of course he made some few honourable exceptions ) had followed out the precept and example of tbeir Lord and Master , and defended tbe poor against the rich , and against tyranny of every description . ( Applause . ) Me had been taking a walk that afternoon , and he saw a brick-yard with a largu quantity of new-made bricks in ic j and he thought ; a better way to illustrate the value of labour he could not adopt than the ene which struck him at the time . When lie looked at the clay iteelf from which the «* bricks bad been made he found that it was ' of no value whatever ; but when men have been employed in digging it out of the earth , it then began to be of service . Why , because labour
hid been applied—and so it was under every operation , the working of , it into bticka and burning , and indeed every additional part of labour gave it additional -value — ( hear , hear)—thus proving that labour is the foundation of all wealth . ( Cheers . ) If such is the case , why is not labour protected ? or why is property protected to the exclusion of labour ? He had seen a notice put 8 n the gable end of a building , to the effect that if any one was caught posting bills against it . he should be prosecuted according to law . Tucn you see the building is so far protected as to prevent even a single Bill from being posted against it , while the labour , blood , bonts , and sinews of the labouring classes are not protected . ( A voice , " True . " ) For example , a cotton manufacturer , or any other capitalist , can come into
the factory when he pleases and tell his bands that he is about to take a shilling from their wages each , and they , the hands , have not the least power to resist such an unjust aggression , because if they did they must be turned into the street to starve , they having no other appeal . Then again the capitalist can any time lock up his factory and turn ont fourteen or fifteen hundred hands into the street . One man has the power to do thi » , and the bands most submit to it , because they have no power to hold him accountable for his conduct ( Hear , hear , and shame . ) But be , for bis part , was independent of these wretches although he wa » a alave . He neither looked \ o the Government for sympathy , nor to the working classes for support . He could get bis living , such as it was , as well in one town as another :
therefore , he was from under the tyrannical grasp of the cotton lords . ( Voices— " I wish I was . " ) The law would protect a pig of an aristocrat , while the working men , politically speaking , were dead : they bad no life : nay , they were no more than a piece of household furniture , at the mercy of the law-makers , liable to be brought , or rather forced , out to fight in the field of battle for Queen Victoria or her Ministers , yet were not protected by the law , because , not having a Toice in the making of the law . All they , the- working people , had to do with the laws was , according to Whig logic , to obey them ; and all they had to do with the taxes was to pay them . { Hear , heai . ) Did they expect , for a single moment , that the present House of Commons would grant them Universal Suffrage T If they did , he thought they would be very miuch mistaken . His

atltioe was , that they would unite , organise , and agltatei till aucb , time as they had a aumcient power behind the law to be rtrongeir than the law , then they would have the Suffrage j in short , when they were prepared by moral means to take their rights , the Government would be glad to give them without resorting to physical force . ( Hear , hear , and applause . ) [ Mr . Connor here read a ' apeech delivered by Oliver Cromwell , when he went to clear the Augean stable , which he ( Connor ) said was very applicable to the present House . ] ( Laughter . )
He continued , we want such a man at the present day , for the better part of them were a set of mercenary wretch ts , who care no more for the sufferings of the people , as fully exemplified ; in their conduct , than they would fora dead dog . ( Bhame , shame . ) There were , be was willing to admit , good men in all societies . There were good men among th « middle class ; but those men , whoever they may be , who wish to carry tbeir designs into effect , contrary to the expressions , feelings , and wishes of the majority , are no more nor less than traitors to their country . ( Hear , bear , and loud applause . ) He was sorry to say this was tbe case in fearfully numerous instances . There were too many who wanted to carry their own pet measures to serve their own purposes , who , at the same time , would not
care what became of them , the working classes . Here Mr . Connor lashed the press , snd denounced it as one of the greatest enemies to liberty , and the labour of many millioned helots of this Queendom . The press , the lawyers , the parsons , and others who live by the industry of others , had formed a foul conspiracy against the rights of the industrious working men ; tho parsons teach the people to , endure the wrongs and cruelties which they suffer quietly . They must resptct the Queen , pay the tithes and rates , and come to the church . And , above all , they must keep away from tuose discontented and wicked individuals , tbe Chartists , or otherwise they would be ruined and be sent to hell , where they would remain for ever . ( Laughter ) This is tbe doctrine which is taught at the present day , and
the very men who are continually preaching this doctrine , are living upon the fat of the land , enjoying every luxury , visiting the gambling hells , and forsooth would have the deluded to believe that they ore the real followers of the meek and lowly Jesus . ( Shame . ) Mr . Connor then drew the attention of his bearers to the laws of primogeniture . II a nobleman , to use the slang phrase , bad two or three sons , according to this law , the ' first took the property , and tbe rest had to be pensioned upon the public . If he had any daughters he endeavoured to accumulate as much property as he could , in order to set them up with a husband who bad plenty of money , and , of course , well provided for . Then , as for the other sons , if there was one more valiant and cruel than another , if be could shoot rats ,
kill hares , and such like with pleasure , that was a sure token that he would make a good man butcher , and he must have a commission in the army or navy . The second perhaps would exhibit symptoms of being subtle , crafty , and roguish , and would appear likely , by a little training , to make black appear white , and vice versa ; he would be sent to be educated for a limb of tbe law . The third would not be so well calculated foi such enterprising and important situations , a dunce , a thick skull , and fit for none of the ordinary situations in life which require any talent or qualities of an extra kind . The father concludes that he will make a most excellent Bishop , and he sends him to a College . ( Convulsive laughter . ) He always liked to look after tbe parsons , to see if they fulfilled tbeir situations , as they
ought to do aa leaden of the publio mind ; they were mere cyphers , and were biassed by the purae of the capitalists . A short time ago , he ( Connor ) was speaking at Oldbam , and he took an opportunity of shewing up the tricks of sume of tbe parsons , and the next Sunday two or three of them made it tbe tbenie of their sermon to warn the people against Socialism and Chartism . He supposed they would tell their hearers bow wicked it was for them to expect their rights , or how odious it was even to ask for them . ( Laughter and cheers . ) These men declare tbat crime is on the increase , and tbe way to stay it is to build more churchts , ami to carry out which project , as a panacea . for the stopping of crime , they were about to build ten iu the town and neighbourhood of Manchester , although
those which were already built were not above half filled . He i Mr . Conner ) would have these men direct their attention to the real cause of the misery and poverty in the land , u prolific source of the crime which class legislation produced . He would net give any man credit for the professed love he might wish him to imagine be had for his soul : ho would not believe that any man wished to save his soul if he would not do nil in bis power to make bis body comfortable in tins world . ( Hear , hear , and " Wwil done , Connor . ' ") Ho could liken the parsons to nothing better than a cow , which gives an excellent can ot milk , and afterwards kicks the can over : these parsons could give good advice , bat many of them never practised what they taught . He ( the speaker ) was agaiiiBt all sorts of
monopoly . The suffrage would do them no good unless they could get in possession of the land , in order to make it subservient to the wants and wishes of the people . He wanted to see that state of society where every man would have bis acre of land to fall back upon , so that he might have his pigs , ard poultry , &c . fcc , and where he would enjoy his health , ami keep bis body in that state of vigour which God and nature intended it should be . ( Hear . ) He , for his part , prefer ed living in a state where the linnet would bo warbling upon tbe bush , and the lark fluttering over his head ; where be could see the driveling streams and the running brooks , tke fertile fields with their blooming flowers ; nnd where be could see nature decorated out with all its beauty and splendour .
Iu a state like this , we should should see the labourer ca < ry a hearty ami healthy constitution . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) How much happier was such a state to the one in the manufacturing districts , where they had to creep out of bed at half-past five o ' clock in the mornr ing , to go into a cotton factory , to be confined in that unwholesome , poisonous , and contaminating atmosphere , till eight at night , which destroyed every faculty bodily and mental , which filled our streets with twisted limbs and star-like countenances , everyone being under the cuntroul of a horde of petty tyrants , and which made the life of the factory hani one of misery , slavery , and drudgery , and just for what was scarcely capable of keeping body and soul together , —( a voice " very true , ")—and , to fill up the figure ,
after ho has toiled and Bweat till tbe system has made such inroads upon his constitution , that he cannot turn off as much work as one who may be young and in good health , be is turned into the street , where he must starve or be consigned to an infernal bastile . ( Cries of " Shame . " ) He was not going to humbug the people with fallacious statements like those made by the Corn Law lecturers . They impudently asserted that the land of Britain was not capable ot maintaining it * present population . But bo would take a sentence of O'Brien'sand read it for their consideration : — "There are 77 , 000 , 000 of statute acres in the united kingdom , about 47 , 000 , 000 are in a state of semi-cultivation , two or three millions of which consist of parks , pleasure-grounds ,
shrubberies , &c ., &o ., for the gratification of the rich , rather than tbe support of the idlers . There are as many millions more acres allotted for pasture grounds , for idlers ' horses . The remaining 30 , 006 , 000 lie comparatively watito ; although 15 , 0 u 0 , 000 of them , at least , are susceptible of -cultivation of the highest order . Here are from eighteen to twenty million acres of land , which are at present useless , are capable of being turned to a proutub . ' e account Out of the whole 47 , 006 , 000 of acres now partly cultivated , not more than five or six are appropriated to the growth of wheat . Is it not manliest , then , that if a larger proportion of these 47 , 080 , 0 u 0 acres were appropriated to tillage , that if the eighteen or twenty millions of uncultivated , wastes , of which I have spoken , were cultivated , and if the wheat lands were made to encroach on the parks , pleasurt-grounds , and barley lauds , ( whose produce goes chiefly to the manufacture of poisonous drinks , under the names of gin , whisky , && ,
4 c ) the sou of thy united kingdom would fur more than suffice to maintain its population in abundance , even under its imperfect state of cultivation . Mr . Connor oaid he would not assist for a Kepeal of the Corn Laws in order to extend a system which had broken down so many constitutions , and produced so many twisted limbs as the Factory system had . ( Cheers . ) He did not agree with these half starved mushroom politicians who were perambulating about the country with their swallow-tailed coats—the pretended friends to tho working classes—who wished to give them as they said , a large loaf , but who at the same time would not extend the franchise to them to throw the mantle of tbe law over them , to protect the loaf whun they had got it . ( Applause . ) The present system was fraught with injustice and misrule to tbe many , which bad been caused by class-legislation- —one party living in the greatest splendour , whilst the other were starving . He could not believe that God ever intended that one man should live out of the sweat of
another . He who is no respecter of persons , has never declared tbat one of his creatures should mock , scourge , and enslave the other . He did not , never had , ner ever would , lay the charge upon God for the wickedness and . inconsistencies which existed at tbe present time . He was aware that there ehvuld be distributions of wealth , and that they were u ^ ful in their place ; but he wanted those men to be surjtsct to the majority of the people . He did not approve of a system which either directly or indirectly robbed the working man of eighteen shillings out of every pound which be earned . The Working man bad to labour for the aiiBtocracy , the miU-ocracy , the army , the navy , and the pensioners and paupers , and the prostitutes , and every other clas 3 of persons wlw consumed
but brought nothing back swan equivalent to society for the food they eat or for the clothes they wear . The man who was kept to feed and look after the idler ' s dog was equally as useless as the dog itself . ( Laughter . ) There were two contending parties at the present time falling out about which should have the privilege of plundering the working clwwes—What be called two thieves / ailing out which got tbe greatest share of the . booty—he meant the cotton lord and the landlord . The landlord robs the people of four shillings and sixpence in every pound , and the cotton lord was content to take only seven shillings aud sixpence . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Connor said be bad now touched upon the parsons , the cotton lordB , and the laniUor . is , likewise the distributors of wealth ; now be would tell the people if they would only agree and become uaitid , they might starve

these classes into compliance . Nene of these eould till the land , make their shoes , or coats , or any thing else toward * frodueing what they conamms ; ( Hear . Here he drew a picture of a savage state of society , and contrasted it with the one under which we live in & free country ; and when put in juxta position to each other , the latter falls into the shades . The savage could go ont and have access to the fish in the water , or the fowls of tbe air ; but man in England was excluded from a look over the . hedge ; and what was even worse than that , while the warehouses were full of clothing , and the granaries were full of corn , the working man who had produced all these had to go only half fed , and half clothed . ( Cheers . ) He would again tell them that he absolved God from any blame on the collective wicked men . ( Cheera )
He was not one of those who would exhort them to be content under all this misery , nor would he lead them astray by persuading them to look to . the middle class for their emancipation , for he believed they would see England one vast charnel house before they would concede to the people the Charter . Mr . C . then referred to what he called a mere remnant of mortality—Daniel O'ConneU , and his conducS in Ire * land towards the Chartists—a cheat and fungus of a politician . ( Hear , hear . ) Here Mr . C . told his hearers thatduring the last agitation , they began to talk about physical force before they were prepared to carry their threats into execution . He hoped they would not do so again , until they were able to do it successfully and effectually ; and then they might go at it hammer and tongs . ( Hear , and cheers . ) He then
remarked that Bobert Feel , who had obtained half a HiUtton of money from the people's industry , admitted the people ' s right to the Suffrage ; but objected to their possession on tbe ground of their ignorance . The speaker then declared that accusation was a false ene , and brought emphatic illustrations of men who are now in the ranks of the working classes , and men of the greatest talents at former periods , who have risen from the same class , such for instance as Cobbett , Franklin , Burns , Ace , arc . Mr . C . said be gloried in the present movement , because it was educating the working man , and enabling bim to meet the capitalist on tbe same stage , and combat every argument brought against the rights of labour or the Suffrage . ( Hear . ) He denounced the plan set forth by Lovett and Collins , &c , and said it was calculated to split us up into sects
and parties , and said that Roebuck , Hume , and others were at the bottom of it . He believed—and he hoped he should be set right if be was wrong—that each of these men voted for tbe New Poor Law ; tor bis , ( the speaker's ) part , be would neither walk up Repeal-ofthe-Union alley , nor follow the Corn Law humhugs , nor blow the Russian horn . ( Liughter and cheers . ) He believed that every man that was not with them was against them . He exhorted his hearers to look well after , and watoh every step of pretended friends , assuring them that such characters by once gaining the confidence of the people , and then betraying them , did more injury than tbeir most inveterate enemies . ( Hear , hear . ) He felt proud thav Chartism was now taking root in Ireland , the land of his birth . ( Loud cheers . ) Feargus O'Connor ' s letters to O'Malley had been the
means of opening the eyes of some of bis fellow countrymen , together with sending the Northern Siar . ( Cheers . ) He hoped that every sincere Chartist would continue to send the Star to Ireland , and likewise all the cheap publications , and let the land be inundated with them ; and let every one who had friends there , give them to understand what the people of England and Scotland really wanted—that while they advocate a vote for themselves , they at the same time extend the same privilege to Irishmen . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He Could like Chartism to spread through Ireland , and when the people of that country saw that the principles were the same as those for which their patriots had shed their blood , and lost their lives , they would be brought to embrace them ; and when he spoke of Irish patriots , be did not mean those who were living now , and were driving through the country with their
livery servants , 4 cc &c * , he meant an Emmett , a Fitzgerald , and an Arthur O Connor . ( Enthusiastic cheering . * When the Irish fully understood the matter , they would not mince it either for a Daniel O'ConneU , or his tail . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker was . not one of these who wished for a Catholic government , any more than a Protestant one , unless they were under the controul of the people . Catholics were as big tyrants as Protestants , and vice versa ; only instance France and Spain . In conclusion he would observe , that he had always been , and should be , at tbeir command , and never refused , and he pledged himself never to relax , come weal , come woe , come persecution , prosecution , adversity , or prosperity , even to the forfeiture of his life . He thanked them for tbe patient attention which they had given him , and sat down amidst the loudest plaudits of the meeting .
Mr . Wheeler said that he kad great pleasure in introducing his esteemed friend Christopher' Doyle . ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . Boyle said that it was with a degree of pleasure that he stood there to address them that evening . He hod thought of giving a lecture upon the Corn Laws , but as a discussion was shortly to take place npon that subject , he tvoald say but little about it to them . He was delighted to hear his countryman , Mr . Connor , expose the laws of primogeniture , and the rest of the subjects upon which he had treated . ( Hear , hear . ) He would , however , say a few words in reference to Daniel O'ConnelL He found , by the Star , that he had been making a speech in Ireland , in which he called upon the police to put down Chartism : he had been denouncing the Chartists ,
and enneavtured to persuade his countrymen- from joining us . ( A voice , " He has !") He knew , however , very well , tbat he was telling a falsehood ; and yet , after faying all this , he came forward and said that tbe Chartists were asking for the same as himself , only in one instance , namely , he was for Triennial Parliaments instead of Annual . Upon this he was very pliable ; " for , " says he , ' when we get a Repeal of the Union , we will have Triennial Parliaments . '' Mr . Doyle said he wished he had a Repeal , and he wished the people of Ireland hod a Repeal ; but they never would so long as they allowed Dan to traffic— so long as they depended upon a man like him , who would take a penny from the poor man , a halfpenny from the ragged man , and a farthing from the starving man . Point me out ( said he ) what he has Riven out
of the £ 200 , 008 he has received from the poor of Ireland . They could not shew , ¦ in auy one instance , where he had done one charitable act for the poor , but he put tbe money into the bank . ( Hear , hear . ) Then , again , he said the Chartists are for Household Suffrage , and so . was he . Now he knew when ha said tkat we , the Chartists , went for Household Suffrage , he was telling a barefaced lie . But that was the way he had always carried on ; be was continually cajoling , cheating , and humbugging the people , and all the while taking money out of their pockets . ( Hear , hear . ) He had been told that he was an enemy to Daniel O'ConneU , but he would take that opportunity of telling them , that if he was an enemy to the conduct of O'ConneU , he was not his personal enemy . He was one of the best friends he had in this country ,
until he found him out upon the Factory" question . Daniel O'ConneU said that was a question of blood and murder , and promised to advocate the cause of 35 , 000 factory children . He professed to be a friend to the factory children , but afterwards sold them for one thousand pounds . Then he ( Doyle ) found' out he was a dishonest man , and therefore he could put no more trust in him . He voted for the New Poor Law , which the Whiga brought forwards , those whom he called base , bloody , and brutal , after calling it unnatural and unscripturaL Who was an enemy to Trades Unions ? Daniel O'Connell . Who got the Glasgow Cotton Spinners transported ? —Daniel O'Connell . And Feargus O'Connor laboured more than all tbe other men put together to obtain their freedom . Who was it that offered 500 . 000 men
to put down Chartism in England ?—Daniel O'ConneU . Who boasted of Sergeant JDaJey at Newport , for shooting the Chartists?—Daniel O'Connell . And now be wanted the police to put down Chartism in Ireland , and to stop all correspondence , so that they might still remain in ignorance . Who was it that persecuted Lowery and Murray ¦?—Daniel O'Conrtel . Mr . Doyle wished the principles of Cl ) art ism to spread through Ireland , and when tbe people come to have a proper knowledge of the principles , Dan ' a influence would cease . It bad taken a long time for him te rise , and of course it would take some time to remove the prejudice of the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Dan was a middle-class
man , and one of their patrons . He bad no respect for tbe working man . Mr . Doyle said he knew he had enemies in Manchester , and some of them had' challenged him to fight , but he would not resort to such a blackguard practice , only through compulsion , and then stand in his own defence —( cheers )—and would continue to speak his mind fearless of consequences . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Doyle made a few more remarks , and sat down after thanking them for the kind attention which had been paid to him daring the time he had addressed them . He was glad to see the me « tiag so crowded . He then sat down amid the moat vociferous cheering .
A persen rose and said if any thing was calculated to give the lie direct to Dan ' s assertions , namely , that the people of England have not sympathy for the people of Ireland , it was the manner in which they tbe people had sat and heard two Irishmen address them , only interrupted by cheers . The Chairman gave out the regular notices , and votes of thanks were carried by acclamation to the two speakers , and the meeting broke up highly delighted .
