" Hear me for my cause /'— Brutus . Being accustomed to find Chartists in the country , like Freemasons , ready to extend the right-hand of fellowship to every Chartist , especially if a visitor , I naturally expected , though I confess myself one of the least of the Chartists , and scarcely worthy of the name , to experience the same brotherly respect in town . It was not , therefore , without some surprise that , on coming up to London , I found , not merly a lack of that common courtesy and hospitality which every Chartist , who comes in the name of a Chartist , receives in this country , but an absolute degree of jealousy and opposition . The topics most dear to hb all , met with no congenial reception ; but rather roused doubtful and angry disputation . I could not divine the reason of this at first ; but subsequent events have sufficiently explained it . They whom , in the country , I had regarded as the leading Chartists of London , were of the old school of Radicals , Cobbettites , who look upon young Chartists as upstarts . Ab Falstaffsays , " They hate us youth . " We were born out of due time , but I am much mistaken if we do not convince them , that all old fashioned prejudices are passing away , and that all things are becoming new . Yob , England like an old eagle is now soaring to the sun ef knowledge to renew its youth . When , in my simple desire to serve the cause , 1 offered the drama of John Frost for publication . — " Oh , " said one , "go to another , "—and that other said— " go back to the other . " I was thus to be bandied about like a shuttlecock ; but I no sooner saw this , than I resolved to publish the play myself . Then , said one , let me sell for you . I let him have a few copies ; but found that his intent was to shelve the work , and so I was compelled to be my own bookseller , as well as publisher and author . This put me and the purchasers to great inconvenience ; but what could an individual , a stranger and a . nexi / e , do in such a case with such a combination of swampers 1 This unexpected treatment—may I not add undeserved also f—for I am not conscious of having done anything as a Chartist to merit it from Chartists—occasioned me to do what I had never thought of before , to take a house and shop , and render myself independentof such insults . I the more readily adopted this determination , as I was requested to do so by several of the honest working men of London , who are not identified with the trading clique , nor under their leadership ; but who think for themselves , and have good men and true , such as the indefatigable Wall , to act for them . There is a spurious Chartism in London—begot between the Whigs and certain Chartists—a mongrel breed , who deeming themselves somebody , attempted with their tail , to draw away a third part of the stars of our heaven ; but they found to their cost , that London has it its genuine Chartists as well as thecountry . These SHakea in the grass nowlike worms , seek to wriggle themselves into favour again ; for t ' , ey find that the poor man ' s penny is as good metal as the rich man ' s , although they feel more flattered when their " itching palms , " are kissed by the latter coin . The grubs being killed by a little Chartist quick-lime , our tree of liberty will flourish like a Roman laurel of victory or myrtle of peace . Now , I invite the advice and co-operation of all true Chartists , to assist me in rendering the depot 1 kave opened useful aud available to the people and their cause . Without them I can do nothing—with them everything . 1 have not scrupled to take upon me the station of a servant of the people , for such service is perfect freedom . I servo the only sovereign I acknowledge—the sovereign people!—to them alone do I swear fealty , render homage , and only for them do I feel the loyalty of a subject . Born the heir of class distinctions , I nevertheless cast off all unwon privileges and flung myself into the ranks to fight my way up with the people . I will not wear any honours but theirs , and this , I consider , true nobility . I seek to supply a desideratum . I am no trader in patriotism ( the vilest of all trading ) but a dealer in genuine Chartism , whether of town or aountry extraction . No books but Chartist ones—none of your Joe Miller ' s Jest books , those crackling thorns under the pot—aye , some of our Chartists boil their pots by the sale of such stuff—I am and always have been and ever will be a serious Chartist—a stern enthusiast in the cause . I am no turncoat , nor turnpenny—I would not sow tares with the seed though I were paid double for it— " exclusive dealing" is my motto—Chartism exclusive of Whiggism , Toryism , knavism or foolism . Why , I have just written a life of my friend Chambers , the marine artist , and made a Chartist book of it . All my ambition is to be a good ChartiBt , and could I succeed in establishing a Chartist depot for the publication of a weekly original tract and monthly magazine , I should attain the tie plus ultra of my utmost hopes . What say yon , people f—will yon hare a shop of your own 1 Come , then , let us lay our heads together—I trust our hearts are already united—let us join hand 9 and forma Chartist club . We will see what we can do . I have engaged a brother of Vincent to assist me—and a fine little fellow he isa fierce physical force Chartist , aa all young Chartists are , and are all the better for it ; for they make the best moral force men . Chartists , now for the oause ! I am , Though a " banished man , " Your devoted friend And dedicated servant , John Watkins . London , No . £ 9 , Bell-yard , Fleet-street .

TO THE WORKING MEN OV ENGLAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Fbiknds and Beotheb Chartists , —We coaaider it the most imperative duty to you , to give you a clear statement regarding the expenditure of the pnblte funds . The treasures , appointed by the Convention at its first meeting , was Mr . Lawrence Pitkathly , of Huddersfieid . He received , according to the report of the auditors , Messrs . Cullen and Smart , £ 68 from Mr , O'Connor , as general treasurer , and £ 2 Hand , from Mr . Cleave , as a local treasurer , making a total of £ * 2 Us . 6 d . The auditdrsalso stated thatMr . Pitkethly had shewn an expenditure of £ 53 . There were othet incidental expences , making in all , say £ 64 , leaving ia Mr . Pitkethly'a hands a balance to from nix to eight pounds . We areuncertainas te the exact amount of money expended by Mr . Pitkethly , and it will be necessary for him to report to the coaatry at large , through tha medinm of the Northern Star . When Mr . Pitkethly withdrew from the General Committee , Mr . Cleave waa appointed treasurer , and Messrs . Cullen , Barmby , and M'Douall a finance committe * . That committee , afterwards , when Mr . Culles left for Glasgow , and Mr . Barmby for the country , consisted of Messrs . Smart and M'Douall ; and therefore we consider it our duty to give an account of the receipts and expenditure of the Finance Committee of the Convention in both instances . We have to remarl that Mr . OCoHnor handed over to us every penny he had received , even the interest upon the money whioh is in his hands , and to this point we particularly direot the attention of hi * friends and his foes . We received as a committee : — RECEIPTS . £ a d . May 22 nd . From Mr .

The whole sum due by the country to the members , ice , of the Convention , deducting the balance , amounts to £ t 5 s . lid . We trust that the important labours of the Conveation , and the services they have dose to the cause , the suffering leader , and to the country at large , will have , their weight in inducing the people to supply , at th * Star Offica , the deficiency complained of . In the meantime , we propose to pay the Doorkeeper , and son * minor expences , out of the balance , reserving the overplus , until we discover whether or not a full settlement will be made by the country to the various Delegates . , We likewise propose that the various Delegates do receive the deficiency in the following mauner : —Tha London Delegates to draw theirbalanee from Mr . Cleave , > and the country Delegates from the Star-office . \ Leaving the above matter confidently in your . hands , f We remain , ' Your devoted friends in the cause , ' T . R . Smart . P . M .

Defeat Of The Whigs, Radicals, And Anti-Corn Law League In The Borough Of Stoke-Upon-Trent.
DEFEAT OF THE WHIGS , RADICALS , AND ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE IN THE BOROUGH OF STOKE-UPON-TRENT .
( Abridged from the Staffordshire Gazette . J This meeting appeared to excite almost universal interest in the Potteries , and the Chartists were determined to move amendments to the resolutions proposed by the repealers . Accordingly they placarded the town pretty freely with bills , calling spon all working meH to attend and witness the death grasp of the Whigs , who had been in & dyiDg stale for the last six weeks ; another and smaller bill was also pretty generally circulated , headed "The ksi kick of the Whigs . " In this little bill tany plain mailers of fact were brought forward , ud it concluded fey assuring the working classes , that the only object of the Whigs was to reduce
wiges by repealing the Corn Laws , and thu 3 supplied them with the strongest motives to rally and defeat the faction . The Whigs being aware they should haTe a powerful opposition to encounter , had recourse to their usual and characteristic though dishonourable course of znaiffiavering . Bands of JBusic , paper mottoes , calico nag ? , &c , were provided in abundance , but by whom I One report is , that a Krennocs advocate of liberalism ( whose professions ire being appreciated as they ought to be ) ar . tuallv deducted from the hard earnings of his workmen , women , and children , the varions amounts of Id ,, id ., and 2 d ., for the purpose of gratifying his own pride and securing a triumph for his party . Another report is , that the workmen in the employ of a near k
relative of the aforesaid illustrious * liberal , ' were coapelled to paint and letter these calicos , or a gentle hint was given that their services would be no longer required . In addition to this " respectable" ' * eanness and tyranny , the miserable party knew it "was a matter ' of doubt , or rather of fact , that if they did not by coercive means compel their dependents to attend , the much talked of demonstration would tHrn ont a miserable failure . In order , therefore , to secure a large attendance , the workmen in the several employs of Messrs . John Ridgway and Co ., the monopolists , W . Ridgway , Messrs . Green * cd Richards , Messrs . Mason , Wedgweod , and other fcera / manufacturers , received notice , that , in order to graiifv the passions of their employers , to shout
* nd cheer when bidden—they must lose a day ' s work , * 2 d join in procession to support them , or seek for other masters . Accordingly , these Eeveral very " liberal " masters bronght up their dependent , though unwilling slaves , to enable them to carry their Bieasures . The Chartists were alive to all this , and ttade the best use of their time ; one or twodtlegites were sent for from a distance , and at length lie much wished for day of battle arrived . The meeting was fixed to be held in ; the Marketplace , Hanley , and thither wended all those Dot in &e secret of the Whig scheme . The Chartists , wihing daunted , were at the spot early with a waggon , exhibiting a placard on which was written , "Hypocritical Lord Jack Bigway ' s 10 per cent . Corn Repeal . "
We now detail the mancBuvre adopted by the sberal Repealers . Aware , as we before said , that the Chartists had mustered pretty strong to JPpase them , they , for the purpose of throwing tke former off their guard , actually had places dng in * Hch to entrench the wheels of the waggon for the 'P ^ ers , and sent up a party of their followers with two flags , whilst they themselves formt d on a vacant * Pot called the Crown Bank . The Chartists , howpOjSoon became aware of thi 3 , and immediately got n > order to proceed to the field of action , not shirking Id running away , aa their opponents had done . A
Jfcfflber of men dragged the waggon all the way j *** other party thinking thea friends moved away , Jjd the Chartists came alongside the repealers in raam phj much to their dismay . At this time there * ere upwards of 7000 persons present , including wo-** a * nd Ichildren . The calico and paper banners * ere distributed in profusion . After some inter-Opt ion , R-E . Heathcote , Esq ., proposed , amidst great ^ onr , that the Chief Baiiiff take the chair . * j * . Abikgdoh seconded the resolution . * p . Baibstow proposed that Mr . Mart take the
The proposition was Beconded , when * lr . Hxathcotb said he appealed to the meeting "aether they would allow BtrangerB to inter . ere , « o interrupt the meeting . ( Cries of "No , no , " «> iiotred by Chartist cheers , hisses , and groans , and 1 general Dprcar . ) J \ e Chief Bailiff took the Chair , and the np-™ ar increasing , the requisition calling the meeting ^ V re ad by him in a loud tone , bat scarcely a "Wa could be heard . He proceeded to say , that w other subjects but those could be discussed by *« meeting , and those only by inhabitants of ih «

Borough , ( Diaapprobatioa and uproar . ) He hoped . as a favour to tiimaelf , thej would grant eyery ipeaker a fair hearing , and endeavour to preserve order and good temper during the proceedings of the day . Bj the Chartists—Will any pereon be allawed to speak against the resolutions proposed ! Chief Baiuff—All who are inhabitants of the Borough of Stoke-upon-Trent , none other—( considerable uproar , and cries of " You are afraid of hearine the Chartists . ") Mr . Joan Ridgwat came forward with great pomp , and informed the Chartists that if they continued their interruptions there would be a great peril , as they ( the Repealers ) would compel the people to drive away their concern , and them with it . ( Renewed uproar , followed by derisive laughter from the Chartists . )
A gentleman on the platform ordered the mob " to drive at them . " The Chartists contended for their Chairman , when The Chief Bailiff said he had before distinctly stated that none but inhabitants of the borough would be allowed to address the maeting . ( Cries of " You are afraid , " &c ) It was a borongh meeting , and it had been called by the inhabitants of the boroagh , and for what reason strangers should interfere he could not tell . ( This was the signal for renewed tumult , the Chartists groaning and shouting , and the opposition cheering . ) Mr . J . Richabds said the Corn Law was a national question , and they had as much right to speak as their opponents . ( Cheers and hisses . )
The Chief Bailiff , in conjunction with several gentlemen , then shouted out at the top of their voices , ** Yob cannot be allowed to speak—( groans )—we cannot hear yon . " ( Renewed groaning , which continued for some time . ) R . E . HEAimcoTE , Esq . then came forward , and amidst continual interruptions , groans , hisses , and BignB of disapprobation , delivered himself of a short speech , at the close of which he moved— " That this meeting regards all nations of the earth as forming one great family , and all amply provided for by a bountiful Providence , and believe that a free interchange of their respective productions would promote the prosperity and sec&re the comfort and happiness of all" ( Uproar . ) Mr . Abingdo . n—Hold tip both hands , lads .
F . Wedcwood , Esq ., briefly Beconded the reso- j lution . - i The Chief Bailiff then came forward and com- j menced reading the resolution amidst the most dis- i cordant sounds , which rendered it inaudible ; the uproar seemed to increase from an evident increase of the Chartist body , who had got in front of the j waggon . The Chartists exhibited a paper , " The i Chartists' amendment . ' Richards began to speak , { when some person on the hustings , in the garb I of a gentleman , cried out " Newgate , " " Billings- j gate . " Richards said if he understood the resolution , it was condemnatory of the Corn Laws . ( Cries from the liberal waggon , " no hair on his head . ") Mr .
Heathcote thinks a repeal of the Corn Laws will save the people . I do not think so ( cries of shame , followed by Chartist cheers and Liberal groans . ) I have a right to think . ( You are paid for it . ) [ The poor old man , it appeared , had a defect in his limbs , which the very liberal gentleman noticed by telling him to " walk like another man . " ] Richards resumed—asking if the men in power would ever have thought of a repeal ef the Corn Law if it had not been to keep themselves in office . ( Cries of no . no . ) They would not repeal Corn Laws , or any other , for the benefit of the working men , if it did not suit their purpose , except at the point of the bayonet . ( Uproar . ) He detested the Corn Laws , but there was the money laws .
Chief Bailift at tae instigation of several of his triends who were much disturbed at the idea of a Chartist daring to interrupt their proceedings , and who loudly exclaimed against it , among whom , none more vehemently than Mr . Abingdon , called upon Mr . Richards to keep to the question . ( Great uproar , hootings , cheering , and groaning ) Richabbs continued his remarks , when the Chief Bailiff received a hint from his back friends to call on the meeting to support him ; he did so , but alas ! he called , but they would not hear , and he was obliged to submit . Richabds proceeded .
j Chief Bailiff—Question , question , ( uproar ) , ; i during which the placard which we have be-fore referred to , Beeaed very much to annoy ! John RrtGWAT , Esq ., who with burning face , j addressed the Chief Bailiff , wishing to know if that ; abominable thing was to stand there . : ; Chilf Bailiff—Take it down ! j The Chartists did not acknowledge his authority j for sach an" order , and refased to obey it , when a j | rush was made at the instigation of some party on j the waggon to seize it . The Chartists had their \ i force concentrated and repelled the approaching
parry . j John Ridgwat , Esq ., then suffering all the painB i of mortification , and finding his popslarity quite | gone even in his own town , mounted the table , and ¦ here his pride was doomed to a still more severe j mortification , for the mass were more uproarious than | ever , and continued so during the time Mr . Ridgway - was ele > ated . He said , as near as we could catch , i " Allow me to say a word in answer to that vil-; lanous placard" ( renewed uproar , "my answer , " ! continued hooting . ) i Mabt , the Chartist Chairman , protested against Mr . Ridgway speaking till Mr . Richards had done . i ( Cheers and groans . ) j JoHx Ridgwat , Esq ., again attempted to proceed , j saying , "I will pledge myself to satisfy you that that j villanous handbill is just in cbdra * ter with iiB i author . " ( Hooting and cheers . )
Mabt ( addressing John Ridgway , Esq )—It is i disgraceful in you . ( Cheers and groans . ) John , : you ' ve lost your dignity I ( Laughter , hooting , and cheers . ) j Richabds ( to J . Ridgway)—It is a fact ; it is your ' own act and deed . i John Ridgwat , Esq . —It ' s false ; it ' s false . ' ¦ ( Hooiing . ) \ Chief Bailiff ( to Mr . Richards)—I have to i request that yoa will go on ; but you must keep to ¦ the point . . ^ Uproar . ) ¦ Mabt—Mr . Heathcote , I want order .
¦ John Ridgway , Esq . —Don ' t be disorderly then : ( another general rush wae made to get to the Char-; tist waggon to overturn it . ) ' R , E . Heathcote , Esq ., said he should like to i know what "his friends at Coventry would have said ] to the interruption . If the m « n had common sense I they would move them away . i Richabds was proceeding about the money laws ; when-the ' : Chief Bailiff interrupted him , by calling the : speaker to the question , and telling him that the ¦ money laws had nothing to do with it ( which ani noubcement , by the bye , shewed how well he was acquainted with the sabject ;; but he was fortunately put right ou that head by J . A . Wtse , Esq ., who said " Oh ! yes they have ; don ' t say that . "
Richards would give them all sincerity for their sympathy to the poor , but where was it last Martinmas ! ( Cheers and hooting . ) i Chief Bailiff—That has nothing to do with it . { Hooting and hisring . ) i R , E . Heathcote , Esq . —When I come again , I'll come with my black ttil on , and shall then j be able to get oter Mr . Copeland's bludgeon men . ' The Chief Bailiff , very anxious , no doubt , that j further exposes should not coae forth , still kept cry- j isg out at the top of his voice , " Touch on the ques- ' tion'ot the Corn Laws . " i
Richaeds protested he would support the Charter till his dying day ( to which a " Liberal" gentleman replied , "take off the 30 * . a week , then you won ' t ; you'll have a new coat for this , old chap . " ) Richards then attempted to prove the right of the people to the Charter , in which he was loudly cheered , ¦ which were met by the other party with groans and hootings . He said he supposed the chairman would call him to order if he gave the anti-Corn Law
League a bit of a wipe—they richly deserved it . ( Tremendous cheeriDg and hooting . ) He then charged them with incarcerating the Chartists . ( Cheers acd uproar . ) Thomas Caffer , ofTunstall , then came forward to Fecoud the amendment moved by Richards . Mabt then , previous to reading the amendment , prefaced it with some remarks , which were inaudible but to a very few . The Chief Bailiff called in vain to the meeting to stop Mr . Mart . > Lr . Durro > " : Push on ; youil have them down just now .
Mabt proceeded , declaring the cry for a repeal of the Corn Laws was all humbug , to keep place ; why did they not try to repeal them when they had a majority of 150 in the House of Commons ! [ During this sceech various Email talk took place between the mighty fallen and the speaker , the latter declaring the former had blown his nose at him , which compliment he very politely returned . ] He was told that Mr . John Ridgway was a sincere friend to the working classes , and a minister of the gospel ; and yet he had stopped id . and 6 d . from the hard earnings of his working men to make paper flags . ( Great uproar . ) '
Chief Bailiff would not allow that ; he would appeal to the meeting whether they would support him I ( Answered by nooting and cheering . ) Mast called on them to place no confidence in men who professed to be their friends , but who were their worst enemies . He then read the following amendment : — " That while it is the opinion of this meeting that the t % x on corn is unjust and iniquitous , yet it considers that a repeal of them would not permanently , benefit ^ the working classes ; further , that this meeting is of opinion that the only panacea for the cure of the existing evils is the People ' s Charter . "
After a great deal of clamour , the Chief Bailiff put the amendment , when a show of hands was held up , and then came the resolution itself ; and in order that the dupes might not mistake which way they must put their hands up , the Chief Bailiff very impartially set them the example by holding up both his . He declared the resolution carried , and &o did

the Chartists their » f" > m * T'iwitj and it was difficult to say which had it . J . A . Wtse , Esq . then came forward to more the next resolution . The resolution was to the following effect : — " Thai taxes ought not to be imposed but with a due regard to the ability of the classes burdened by them ; that an impost upon the bread of the people was a violation of just principle , because it taxed the poor mort heavily than the rich , inasmuch as bread formed the larger portion of the poor man ' s daily food . " The resolution was Beconded by a man named Huxlet , from Tunstall , we believe ; who being a teetotaller , began to preach up his abstinence doctrines , much to the annoyance of the vast majority present , although the very impartial Chairman never called him to the question . After rambling upon almost ev « ry topic agitated , the man was fairly clamoured down , when a man named Robinson presented himself on the Chartist side , to move an amendment .
Chief Bailiff—Are you an inhabitant of Stoke Robinson—I am , more s the pity . He then read his amendment , amidst continued hooting , yelling , and counter cheers . The Liberals were proceeding towards the Chartist waggon with their painted calicos , when the Chartists made a rush , and would have carried away their colours , if the party had not moved off . A couple of stones were hurled from the Liberal camp , which were speedily replied to from the opposition benches ; the parties on the outside of the meeting commenced running in all directions .
RoBijrsai * continaed saying , they had been openly robbed by one party , but secretly and unmanly by tha Whigs , wno continued professing friendship towards them , yet had brought them and their families to a state of starvation . ( Chartist cheers . ) It might be said he was not keeping to the point ; ¦ he contended he was , for the Charter was the point , I and the question of all questions was the People ' s | Charter . ( Loud cheering and confusion . ) I The Chief Bailiff then read again the requisij tion , amidst great tumult . Robinson—The Whigs had imprisoned 450 of I their fellow-workmen . I Chiep Bailiff—Question , question . ( Uproar . ) A Man—I have as much right here as Mr .
Ridg-Bristol and Nottingham rise in flames , and goaded every man to desperation 1 He then proceeded to decry as a clap-trap , the cry of the Whigs for a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( This created considerable tumult , * the Chief Bailiff desired him to stick to the point ; thU made the confusion more confounded . ) Robinson proceeded to call all the men brought up by their masters " fanatical slaves . " The Whigs had a proof that the numerical strength of the Chartists exceeded that of the Whigs with all their coercion . ( Cheers and groans . ) He begged of the working men to be no longer duped , reminding them that one man there had deducted from their wages for paper flags . John Ridgwat , Esq ., with great warmth , " that ' s false . " ( Cheers snd hooting . )
Robinson—Another compels you to take houses from him , and pay rent for them , although you cannot live in them , because they have no roofs , or else leave his employ . ( Loud cheers and disapprobation . ) These were the vaunted Whig sympathies for the poor—would they believe them ! ( No , no , and uproar . ) [ Another stone was hurled at the Chartists J Fanatical slaves ! ( resumed Robinson , ) will you hurl a stone at a man who is telling your tyrannical masters that which you have not courage to tell them yourselves ! John Ridgwat , Esq . —Yes , they have . ( Great uproar . ) Robinson continued his address , and was loudly cheered by the Chartists , and hooted by his opponents .
The Chief Bailiff—I cannot stop him . He then put the resolution , at the same time taking particular care in this , as in the following cases , to put up both his hands . The Chartists , finding their speaker stopped , now began in right earnest , and were determined that not one syllable more should be heard . The Chief Bailiff , of course , declared the resolution carried . The noise and uproar increased more and more ; and it appeared the Chartists only had controul over the vast multitude .
Mr . C . Mason was very desirous of stilling Robinson , and very blusteringly and majestically marched to the front of the platform , and uncovering himself very gracefully , bowed to the assemblage , which was acknowledged by three groans and tremendous upr , which quite tired that gentleman ' s patience , and

way . John Rldswat , Esq . —Oh ! you are a very ungrateful fellow . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Robinson—The Ministers told them now they could not remain in office any longer , that they would repeal the Corn Laws—could they believe them 1 ( Cries of " No , " and great cheering . ) He would appeal to that meeting—Could they put confidence in those individuals 1 Those gentlemen on the platform might have very patriotic views , but they had allowed them to go almost to the grave from starvation before they stepped forward . ( Cheera and counter cheers . ) [ Another stone was thrown from the Whig ranks—Robinson asked if that was Chartism ? J He would rather die the death of starvation than abandon his principles like the Whigs had done . ( Cheers . ) Mart to J .

Carlisle . —It is Baid that a Tory candidate will be brought forward at the next election , in opposition to the present Whig Members . If so , the Chartists ought to bring forward a good man ; and , if the Whigs will not give way , and allow one Chartist to be returned , they should split with the Tories . We believe a great majority of the old freeman will vote for a Tory and a Chartist . Mabtlebome . —The St . Pancras Chartists held a meeting , on Monday evening , at the Goat and Boots , Brooke-street , New Road ' Mr . Herries in the chair .
Mr . H . B . Marley , the Secretary , read an address from Mr . Villiere Sankey ; and it was unanimously resolved , that a requisition be got up , to be signed by the electors of the Borough , respectfully requesting him to become a candidate at the next election , for the representation of Marylebont . It is anticipated that the requisition , within one week , will have 600 signatures , when it will be presented to him . The Association continues , week after week increasing , and the work goes nobly on . Hurrah for Yilliers Sankey , Esq .. for Marylebone !
Ipswich . —Mr . John Goodwyn Barmby , the Chartist poet and lecturer , a member of the late Petition Convention , is about to be called into the field for this Borough ; and , if we are rightly informed , will contest it stoutly , and with no moan hope of success . Bravo , Chartists ! Keep the pool stirring , and make the factions look out for the breakers a-head . West Riding of Yobjcshire . —All is here active bustle and preparation . The Whigs have yoked together Morpeth and the familiar name of Milton as the pillars of their strength . The Tories have
again started the oft-beaten John Stuart Wortley , and , with him , Mr . Beckett Denison . The Chartists , anxious to do nothing rashly , have taken more time to think about it—one or more candidates they will have , undoubtedly , but we are not yet able to announce them . A meeting of delegates was to be holden , on Sunday , ( to-morrow ) to compare notee , and to fix upon the men ; but our paper was at press before the restilt could be known . Before our next number appears , the men will appear , and the brightening face of Chartism will be exhibited in a new aspect throughout the Riding . I '

after moving the next resolution , retired behind , amid the hooting and yells of the people . ( Two pieces of bread , said to be the allowance for man and woman in the poor-houses , were exhibited , and excited the Chartists much more . ) A . Mr . Abhpord seconded tho resolution whioh was put by the Chief Bailiff , and decidedl y negatived by the ChartiBts , although declared carried . Mr . Abingdon then mounted the rostrum to move the fourth resolution , and said , Oh I poor depraved men , poor deluded creatures i here he was obliged to end hia soliloquy , and nominally move the fourth resolution .. Mr . Walteb Simpson seconded it . The Chief Bailiff put it to the meeting ; the noes again preponderated , yet it was said to be earned . Mart protested against any petition going from that meeting ; and the Committee , feariBg lest it should be lost , one of them whispered in the ear of another , "I would not hazard the petition a second time ; it has been carried five to one ; Mr . Ridgway proposed it with the last resolution . " Mr . Ridgway denied thU , and a regular smuggling of the petition took plaoe ; it "was immediately put out of sight , and the very same resolution moved , seconded , and deolared carried last , was actually re-proposed , seconded , and declared to be carried again . No doubt Mr . Green was perfectly right in proposing tho petition , but the supporters were alarmed for its safety , and therefore juggled it in the way we have described , although we are well aware it will come forth as a petition adopted by the public meeting . We feel it necessary to make this expose , so that when the statement is made that we anticipate , the publio may know how to appreciate i ts value . We were close to the speakers , and when we heard the dispute about the petition we took particular notice of the whole transaction , bo that we can stake our reputation on the fact . Mr . Elijah Jones seconed the resolution , which the Chief Bailiff declared carried . We again assert the petition was never submitted to thf meeting . John Ridgwat , Esq . came forward again , anc begged to propose the cordial thanks of the meeting to his nephew , the Chief Bailiff , for his able and im partial conduct in the chair . Mr . Abinodon seconded the resolution , and vrhei put , it was decidedly negatived by the opponents o the Whigs : so ended , at half-past four o ' clock , si far as the Whigs were concerned , one of the mos stormy meetings we ever remembered to have seen The Whigswere completely routed , notwithstandini all their manoeuvring and trickery . Mr . Bairstow remained and addressed the meet ing for a considerable time , without any interruption plainly proving that three-fourths of the mas woul < have hooted down the Whigs , had it not been fo fear of displeasing their employers , and consequent ! losing their employment .

TO THE CHARTIST ELECTORS , AND OVER- TAXED WORKMEN OF GREAT BRITAIN . FBIEND 8 AND BROTHER CHARTISTS , —An election will take place ia a few weeks . Are yoa prepared and preparing for the struggle ? The Chartist electors of many places have proposed starting Chartist candidates , and since we have determined to destroy the Whigs , it is of the first importance , not only to start , but at all haauds to return your good men and true to Parliament . Why ? Because , if the Whigs should have a majority , your representatives , or , more properly speak- ing , candidates , ought to be in the House to upset tlum on all great party divisions , and , if the Tories muster strong , there is even a more powerful reason for the prewnce of trustworthy men , for you may rely upon it , that the Tories , if strong , will ( if Ireland does not pr « ve too troublesome ) not let your complaiats be heard except in the House . The great principle of action with us should be , to poisess the balance of power without , and to hold the scales within . I know of no subject more deserving of your consideration , or more worthy of your exertions . There is another thing which appears to me necessary to be mentioned at this time . It will be moch more consistent for us to vote for , and support , such Tories as the benevolent and very highly gifted Oastler , a declared Tory , but still a consistent advocate of the rights of labour , than send into Parliament a furious enemy of democracy , or a rabid Peelite . Sir George Sinclair , too , is most deserving of support , not only on account of his supporting the poor man ' s rights , but likewise because he voted with Duncombe . O Connor is right with regard te Peel . He is wily , and hia followers are to be feared , as much as his policy is constructive treason against the labouring classes of this country , notwithstanding all his Bibles and tracto in the library of Tam worth . It u clear thafc we can expect nothing from the Whigs . They must be destroyed before they can be reclaimed , and the Tories must be lulled asleep before they are exterminated . A blow for one , a smile for the other , and the labourers walk over the bodies of both fortune to the possession ot that political power without which we shall be the pray of the one and the dupea of the other . Northampton has promised to return me , and there are whispers of splitting votes with tho Chartists . Do you , my only friends and supporters , desire it ? If you do not , then I can be just as useful as ever . If you do , then you most support the men of Northampton with money to defray the hustings' expences .
