  Tower Hamlets . —( From our London Correspondents—On Saturday , the Chartitts in this borough , started Mr . E . Perronet Thompson , the son of Colonel Thompson , in opposition to Colonel Fox , the nominee of the Whigs . A most numerous meeting ot the electors was hoWcn ou Monday evening at the Greenland Fishery , Stepney Green , Mr . Fraser in the chair , fer the pnrpooe of hearing Mr . Thompson . Mr . Thompson commenced by stating that the honour of rcprft-eiitujg the Tower Hamlets had not been sought ; or by h ; m , and , indeed , when first asked , he felt astonished that one so unknown as himself should have been selected , but he could feel that the reason why he had received so numerously a signed a requisition , wa ^ on account of his
  
  relationship to or . e of the oldest and staunchest Reformers . ^ 3 a young speaker , they would forgive him if he did not express himself so fully as it was wished . He would stale that in his opinion the first essential for guod Government , for permanent good Government , was tbe extensiou of the suffrage . He would £ 0 for no half measure . He would support the measure of Universal Suffrage , for he considered nothing Ehort would content the people . The voter required protection from aggrandised wealih ; the Ballot was in his opinion the best means to remove the difficulties under which the voters labour . He was against legislating for the agricultural interest alone , or the commercial or manufacturing , but for all . The representation should
  
  then be given not to boroughs , or cities ; but to electoral districts . As in the ordinary cour 6 e of life people took care to have an annual review of their affairs , he thought therefore there should bo annual election of members , which he was convinced would not have the effect which some supposed ; viz ., thai of depriving a good man of his seat , but would act io the contrary way , that of securing him bis seat for Hie ; indeed it would be quite sufficiently long for any member to learn his business . He con ? idt . red the New Poor Law uufair in principle and harsh in detail ; it was for the supporters of that measure to prove that any part of that bill wae good in any point ; he was for the total annihilation of tbe bill . ( Cheers . ) He was against that principle which obliged one man to pay for the use of the church which an&ther
  
  man used—( hear , hear)—and in connection With this he would vote for the destruction of those oppressive courts called the Ecclesiastical Courts . ( Cheers . ) The opinions of his revered relation as to free trade were well known . In those opinions he participated and would carry them out . In conclusion , he wculd state that he was the advocate of freedom of conscience and the political liberty of all . ( Cheers . ) In answer to a question , Mr . Thompson stated that he should vote , if returned , for the liberation of all political prisoners . A resolution in favour of Mr . Thompson was unanimously passed . The men of the Tower Hamlets have proved by bringing forward Mr . Thompson , that they have courage , and the position which ho now holds is alone owii ; g to the working Chartists of the borough , though backed by none of the lea ' ders .

  SOUTH LANCASHIRE . —Delegate Meeting . —The above meeting took place on Sunday . June 14 th , in the Chartist Room , Brown-street , East Manchester , ¦ when delegates were present from the following places : Mr . Thomas Davies , for Tib-street , . Manchester ; Mr . John Cartleilge , Brown-street , Manchester ; Mr . John Joyson , Hardnianstreet , Manchester ; Mr . Jaa . Holmes , Hume ami Chorlton-upon-Medlocfc ; Mr . J . F . Craig , Salford ; Mr . Henrj Chappell , OMhum ; Mr . William Watchem , Shaw ; Mr :-Joseph Eckersley , Unsworth ; Mr . Robert Tender , Newton Heath ; Mr . Jonah Schofield , Openshaw and Droy'sden ; Mr .

  Cartledge , Liverpool ; Mr . James Bower , Stalaybriilge ; Mr . John Butterworth , Milnrow ; Mr . John Leech , Hyde ; Mr . Thomas Stoner ,, Asiiton ; Mr . Martin Ireland , Bury . [ The Council wish most respec ' - fully to request that their friends at Bolton , Kochdale , Mot tram , Middleton , Heywood , Faiiswortb , and RatclifiV , veil ] not neglect to Bend a delegate to the next meeting , which will be held in the same room on that riay month . ] Mr . John Cartledge -was called to the chair —The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed . The financial accounts were examined and found correct , and each aian tendered in his quota of money from bis constituents , towards the support of the South Loncashire Lecturer . Every delegate then proceeded , in due order , to give an account of the
  
  progress of the cause in his district , in doing which they all declared that their constituents were disgusted with the Whigs of Manchester for their late conduct , and pledged themselves to assist the Manchester Chartists by every means which lay in their power . They considered it a national question , and that the insult offered to the CJiartista of Manchester ought to be considered an insult to every Chartist in the Association . The Whigs be ^ an at head quarters first , fancying that if they succeeded there , they could take every other town afterwards . Tiiey gave great credit to the Chartists of Manchester , and conceived they nad achieved a moral victory in shelving that they only wished fair discussion to promote their cause , instead of the bludgeon , ( be . which had been resorted to by their
  
  adversaries . They were aware that wore the Chartists , to make the least resistance , they would have to beat police , soldiers , and all other force which could be arrayed against them . The following resolution was then earned without a dissentient : — " That we the delegates present conceive it to be our duty—a duty which we are determined to fulfil—to call public meetings in every town and village around Manchester forthwith , at which collections shall be made towards defraying the expences incurred by the Manchester Chartists , for the purpose of openly and fairiy meeting the " bloodies" in free discussion , and to bring justice the instigators of the Manchester butcheries . " 2 d . ' * That a new plan of lecturers be drawn up , and that Mr . Cartledge be appointed to get them done by the proper time . "
  
  Mr . Baby being present , tha delegates requested he would allow his name to be put upou tho plan as a lecturer . In answer te which Mr . B . said that it wae high time for every man who , had the least spark of philanthropy or patriotism , and who possessed the least amount of talent to come out ; therefore he could not have any objection . Mr . John Leech was next proposed to be added to the plan . He rose aud Eaid he felt honoured at being chosen to be put upon tbe p lan as lecturer . He could assure them that though be might not have the talent of some men , he had , he trusted , " spirit and determination second to none fa his capacity . There was a man of his name who had gained the respect of the Chartists of this ti » guom . He ( Mr . Leech ) would follow in his footsteps . His
  
  lectures should be bis motto , and his namesake ' s principles his principles . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Storer , Mr . Rankin , Mr . Boberts , and Mr . Q , were a ! so carried as fit and proper persons to be added to the plan . The following protest ifainst the proceedings of the Corn Law Kepealera of Manchester was read and adopted : — " We , the Chartist Delegates of South Lancashire , wish to enter » ur protest , collectively , agaiust the cruel , unfair , and atrocious conduct of the Manchester * bloodies * assembled in Stephe&son ' s Square , on the 2 nd of June ; for tbe mesin , low , and cowardly manner in which they acted to arrest tbe progress of free discussion . It is our firm conviction that the Manchester authorities are highly culpable for not preserving the peace of the
  
  town , instead of laughing while their fellow creatures were being helplessly bludgeoned . We consider the man , or men , who could maliciously , aud , no doubt , for the worst of purposes , circulate falsehoods to cause jealousy , as was dons on that occasion , amongst the working classeB , to be our most direful enemies—and We look with utter contempt upon the conduct of the individuals who attacked the Chartists at Carpenter ' s Hall , when about to meet to censure the conduct of the parties to the Stephenson ' a Square butchery . Although those ignorant and deluded persons have nearly murdered poor old Wheeler , cut and wounded
  
  Mahon , and nearly killed Cairns , besides brutally beating many others of our best friends ; yet are we determined to pereetera in propagating our just and sacred principlt s , until evtn those men , who then acted so brutally , shall see their folly and our sincerity , and ultimately be induced from a sense of justice and self protection , to j oin us in contending for their and our rights , immunities , aud privileges ; and which are laid down in the document called the People ' s Charter . Furthermore , we particularly enter our protest ngainst the coiiduct of Sir Tuouias Potter ami Charles Walker , Esq ., magistrates , who were on the hustings of the Corn Law Repealers ; and also that of Richard Cobden , Esq ., Chairman , on the occasion in

  sanctioning such unlawful and ontrageou conduct . Having bad a true specimen of Mr . Cobden ' s conduct towards working men , we call upon the people of Stockport to reject him at the approaching election , and never How a man who could preside overa meeting where such barbarities were committed to misrepresent them in the Commons'House of Parliament Th » proceedings of the anti-Cora L > w League during the past week have proved them to be the advocates of their own particular Interests , to the destruction of all others : it has shewn that they are not favourable to , but that they flinch from , open and fair discussion , and that they have resorted to all means , however unfair and despotic , to silence the real advocates of the peoples rights , and to gain their ends , either at packed meetings io doors , or
  
  what has been wrongfully tcrmod public meetings out of doors , and thus give an hireling press an opportunity of misrepresenting the sentiments of tho people ef Manchester and its vicinity . " Mr . Leech was re-elected as the lecturer for South Lancashire for the next month , be having gives satisfaction during the last . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , Mr . John Cartledge , and to the Secretary , Mr . James Cartledge , for their unpaid and voluntary services in the cause of the people . The delegates sat upwards of seven hours , every one wishing to do what he could to forward the cause in which he was engaged , and to give satisfaction to his constituents . Instead of having their spirits hi the least damped by tbe late occurrence , they appeared more enthusiastic . Two shillings and ninepence was collected and given to Cairns .
  
  MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening last , the Tib-street room was filled to oveiflowing with an enthusiastic audience by ba ! f-pastsix o ' clock , which was composed of Engli .-h , Irish , and Scotch people of both sexes . The attack made upon the Chartists in this town by the anti-Corn Law party has caused a great excitement in the public mind and raised the sympathy of many who looked upon the Chartists with contempt before , but who are now amongst their most zealous friends and supporters , who have given tokens of their sincerity by joining the association , and are willing to subscribe towards the expenses incurred , and the support of the victims of the " bloodies . " Mr . Joseph Linne ' y was called to the chair , and , in the course of his remarks reprobated the parties who calumniated
  
  the Chartists by representing them to be in the pay of the Tories . He said the sore place consisted in the working men being able from taking a retrospect of both Whigs and Tories , to come to a common sense conclusion , which was , that neither were the friends of the working classes . ( Cheers , ) The only difference was , that the one was » professed friend but always proved an Inveterate eaemy , while the other was an open foe and stuck to his profession . Mr . Mahon rose , and was greeted with a burst of cheers , but no sooner did be lift his hat off than the tune was changed to execration for the Whigs , at seeing the plasters on his head and face , placed to cover and heal the wounds which he had received while in the discharge of Lis duty , peaceably and
  
  constitutionally . At this time , a still worse sight presented itau-lf . Poor Cidms came into the room , and shewed his face , which had been dreadfully mangled and disfigured ; a murmur and a thrill of horror run through the whole meeting . Mr . Mahon said , the Cbarman had told them that he would tell them how he got his beating , but he could only tell them that he had been dreadfully beaten , and that was all ; but served as he had been , it did not deter him from crawling to thu meeting on the following day . He then Went on to exhort his hearers to still more determined perseverance , and he would s . iy , let no man be considered a Chattist unless he would have his name upon the books as a member , and subscribe towards carrying on the work —( cheers)—and bye and by « they would out
  
  numbei' all the factions put together , which would be the best way to prevent his head being broken again . He could not allow the excuse of poverty for joining . He knew something about the books , being once the secretary , and from his own observation he could say , that the weavers had always paid better than auy other branch of artizans , though getting less . He then compared tbo commttees and the Executive to { ha Parliament , who was weak if not well supported from without . So it was with the committee when not supported by the members of the society . After touching on many other points , he told the people they never could expect redemption only through their own exertions , and the medium of political power , and gave notice that the five rooms would be filled shortly to hear lectures ;
  
  after -which collections would be made towards defraying the expenses—for , notwithstanding all the money they had received from the Tories , he believed they would have to pay it themselves . The Chairman , after making a few remarks , said he would then introduce Mr . Leech , who had been appointed to lecture that , evening . Mr . Leech rose , and said that , notwithstanding the rows , riots , and tumults , the many heads that had been broken , the blood which had been spilt , it appeared they could have a good meeting in Tib-street ye ;—indeed , he believed it almost as possible to cover the Stun with a blanket us to stop the people from meeting , to demand those rights which they have been deprived of by factions who have trampled them under foot by the iron heel of despotism and tyranny . The
  
  parties who had been maneuvering last week labour to prove to the people that if their designs were carried into execution , namely , a Repeal of tbe Corn Laws , the wages of the working classes would rise . This was , indeed , fine logic from the very parties who h&A more than any other beeu the rueaus of bringing wages down . ( Cheers . ) He had been in conversation with a gentleman who had observed that it was not in the power of the masters to raise wages . Mr . Leech asked him why they did not prevent them falling when they were double what they were at the present time . The fact was that the masters , cotton lords in particular , would not care how small the wages were so long as they could keep them in servility , anil make them into slaves . ( Hear . )
  
  After bo much misery , starvation , and want which had existed in the land , and the ptople bad been bamboozled and cheated for nine years , it had resolved itself into the question as to who should have office . O , said some of the Whigs , you must keep in our friends . ( Laughter . ) Mr Leech considered it a worthless question as to who should hold office with the working classes . It was a question at any rate which had not sufficient merit about it as to justify one party of working men to break the heads of another party . ( Hear , hear . ) Those very men that bad been the instigators of the bloody affair in Manchester would bring the charge against ti . e working men , and plead it aa a sufficient reason , as sufficient evidence , that the workiug classes were not qualified to possess the political
  
  frunclme , that' they were too ignorant , as fully exemplit ' ed iu their conduct towards each other . ( Chears . ) Mr . Leech then went through a detail of the persecntions , prosecutions , and imprissniuent which the Chartists have suffered for their endeavours to achieve justice not only to themselves but to those who had been persuaded that they , tho Chartists , were their greatest enemies . It had been said that the Chartists were enemies to a repeal of the Union , but would Sir Thomas Potter . Captain Sligh , or Gibson give them a repeal of the Union ? ( No . ) These men bad by falsehood and calumny stimulated them to break the heads of thtir only friunds , and would afterwards turn round aud laugh at them . But had it forwarded the cause of the repeal of the Com Laws ? No , he maintained the
  
  Whigs have given themselves a fine slap in the face . ( Cheers and hear . ) Nor had it done any good to the agitation for the repeal of the Union . He did not lay blame to the reasoning portion of tbe Irishmen , because he knew that they were as much opposed to such like conduct as the Chartists . Tbe parties who bad perpetrated those acts of cruelty were men who cared little about anything but a glass of whiskey and a stick . ( Hear , hear . ) He was sorry to say that it had injured a many poor wen who hntl to go into the villages to pick up a living by selling a lew things . It had caused great hostility against them , he had been in a village where a great many had declared they -would not purchase things from men who had committed sueh deeds as those in Manchester . Those
  
  men who were upon the hustings in Stephenson ' s-square would make merchandise of England and Ireland bad they the power . A man had told him that the manufacturers ot England would never be satisfied until they could compete with the foreigner . What did competition mean ? Why , the very word itself means sorrow , tears , and blood . ) ( Hear , hear . ) It meant that the people of France must starve the people of England , to satisfy the avaricious appetites ef a set of grasping inoneymoDgers , or that the people of England must starve the people of France , that was the real definition of competition . ( Cheers . ) But it was not to much competition that , even themselves had in view , in trying as they -were at the present time , to shake society to its centre , but it was the last kick of a
  
  withering , graceless , and rotten faction . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Leech said that they , the people of England , could not do with three parties . There should at all events be one destroyed , and if the people could briDg them together and set one to destroy the other , the one remaining -would be a ~ target for the people to fire at ( Cheers . ) Mr . Leech then went into a detail of the principles and effects of the competitive system , and stated the wages obtained in countries against which the English people had to compete , giving ak the same time , the price of provisions in those countries , as compared with the price in England and the rate of house rent , dtc . He glanced at countries where they had C > rn Laws , and at those which were without , and drew the inference that where they were cursed by class legislation , the same evils existed ; and -where the people enjoyed more liberty , they wher « more happy . Why was it that the
  
  operatives of those countries could do better with five shillings , than the people of this with fifteen or twenty ? simply because they have not £ 29 ^ 00 , 000 ot interest to pay for a national dett £ 16 , » O » , OOO for the civil ; ^ 50 . 000 , 000 local taxes-£ » , »* u , 0 M to a clergy to spout the most horrible species of blasphemy , in proclaiming to the world that all the poverty and wretchedness which existed , was in accordance with the will and pleasure of Deity . It mattered not to them—the working classes—what law was repealed so long aa labour was unprotected , and so long as a privileged class bad the power to monopolise all the benefits which niightaoctue from repealing a oad law . Those men who had been feezing forth the good sense of the working classes one day , and teliing the country , through an hireling press , that the working classes had sealeu the doom of the Cora Laws , and that the fiat of the intelligent < psratives has goue forth , a id that their monopoly was sinking—would tell a working man to

  his teeth , that he was too ignorant to possess tho franchise . ( Hear , hear . ) Could tbey but see these men ' s hearts , they were as black as sin ; and the whole of their scheme was , that they wanted the working classes to assiat them to obtain a Repeal of the Corn Laws , while they ( the working classes ) most be content to be slaves ; ( H « ar , hear , and lorid cheers . 1 Tbe speaker continued that the middle classes never would coneede to tbe people their just rights nntil the * were forced . Thon , snen being the ease , the working men should not make themselves into tools' at their bidding , and his word for that , they would soon be glad to join them for Universal Sufirage . As a striking illustration of the consistency of a middle-class man Cobden told him that he would not allow himself to '
  
  be put iii nomination for any town , and the very next week wrote an address to the electors of Stock portand again , when they found they had been beaten even at meetings called at eleven o ' clock , when a great nnmber ot slaves would be shut up and could not get to vste for . freedom , and when they had been closely watched in the surrounding districts , and farther , they knew that the Chartists could carry a resolution for the Suffrage at Ashton , Droylsden , Newton Heath , Failsworth , Stockport , Eccles , and Harrington , Prentice ' s favourite walk , they hit upon a knack of packing their meetings , so that a sufficient number could get round the rostrum and prevent the working classes getting near it . Finding that they got severely exposed , they then resorted to physical force , and being too big cowards themselves
  
  they were compelled to biros body of working men to break the heads of another body of the same class . And theso gentlemen are those who cry . out against the crnel and abominable Corn Laws , and who have so very mnch compassion for the poor that they would actually wish to give them a large loaf and high wages , in order to compete with tbe foreigners . Ah , the base hypocrites ! they would not care the toss of a button if all the urtiians of Manchester were upon an emi gration ship , if they could only , mfke the machinery do the work . ( Cheers . ) He would promise them that their kind acts should not be kept in tbe dark . They must not think that it would end there . They have settled the question as to their motives in the out-townships . He ( Mr .
  
  Leech ) would promise them when he met any of them in discussion again , he would take tbe liberty of just bringing it to their memory . It would not las t long : the men they , bad made tools of would soon begin to see through , their policy , and seeing their error , Would join 4 ho Chartists in declaring liberty , not only for Englishmen , bat Irishmen likewise . ( Cheers . ) In allusion -to the pitiful cry of " Tory gold , " the speaker said , he could tell them that they , tho Repealers , the Whigs , offored to pay him j he could toll them that the Tories offered to pay him to go into the agri cultural districts to counteract the statements of the Repealers ; but he treated them both with contempt He belonged to the working mon , and they adherad to principle ,. and he and they would go together . ( Cheers . )
  
  He could have gone into tbe agricultural districts with a good grace ; but when the question was put to him , he wished to make the agreement with them , that while he denounced the cotton lords , he should be at liberty to denounce the landlords , and every other class of society who prevented the people from obtaining then ? rights . ( Hear , hear . ) O , said they , that was Chartism , they could not allow that He , Leech , said it was , and he was glad to hear them form such an estimation of it 1 Cheers . ) Mr . Leech then argued that labour vnis the foundation pf all wealth , and asked how it was that a Rothschild c » uld realize in profits no less than 5 , 0 * 0 or 6 , 000 per week , and Baring and Company 5 , 000 , 010 per year . They had net produced it , and those who produce nothing had nothiag to give . It was simply because
  
  labour was unprotected , and thus every man who wished to gamble and speculate was at liberty . Every encouragement was given to the profit mongers . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Mr . Leech tbeu showed how much cheaper the people of Salford were obtaining their goods , and playing the d——1- with the shopkeeper ? . As much as 2 d . 3 d . and 4 d . per pound was saved out of some articles—and said , that shortly there would be a similar shop opened in that district , as the Salford one was doing gloriously . Another instance of the distributions of wealth . He , not Jong ago , was at Huddewfif li , and while there he inquired the price of a waistcoat-piece for his own information . He was told that it was three shillings per yard . He came to Manchester , went to a shop in Market-street , and inquired
  
  what they sold it at ( the very same quality ) and his was told seven shillings and sixpence . He was not surprised at that , because he knew they bad large rents to pay and high taxes . They had to pay £ 29 , 000 to police . They would go worse every week . Why , because when those shops were built , wages wert better , and the people were enabled to purchase the goods . Therefore , taking off the wages had , as a matter of course , taken away the money which formerly found its way into their tills . ( Cheers , and "well done Leech . " ) It did not matter whether this law or that was repealed , the whole system must be changed , and the people must have political power to protect themselves , and when that was done , away would go the influence of both cotton lords and landlords , this could and would be
  
  done , and up will rise the people from long-bound Blavery and ^ bjndage . When the people have the will tbey have the power . ( Cheers . ) Had the surplus population ( Whig phrase ) been put upou the land to cultivate for themselves , aa they left the factories , the soil of Eugta . nti and Ireland would have been like a beautiful garden ,. The masters had ruined each other by their competition with each other , when they found that by double-decking and self-acting , they coutd not come into the market and carry the same profits , they , madman-like ,- lowered the people ' s wages , and by so doing very much lowered the market and there they found themselves in the pit dug for others . Mr . Leech then drew a woeful pieture of tho wrongs and sufferings of the people of Ireland , and
  
  shewed why the produce of that country was consumed by the non producers , whilst those who produce cannot get enough to supply their physical wints . He glanced at the clap-trap of Lord John Russell , for endeavouring to increase the revenue by bringing down taxation , and concluded by exhorting every man to be at his post , assuring them ( bis hearer ?) that a great crisis was at hand . The speaker was loudly cheered In retiring iron the rostrum . A question was put which was satisfactorily answered . A gentleman from Chester , sn eloquent speaker and a new convert afterwards addressed the meeting , giving a detail of the opposition he has met with since joining the Chartists , yet he was determined to proceed . The people were excessively crowded and the room was like a bath .
  
  Brown-street . — On Sunday evening last , Mr . Whittaket gave a very feeling address on the necessity of laying aside all religious prejudices , and uniting together for the purpose of gaining our political freedom . As a Roman Catholic , he was determined to denounce the men professing the same religion as himself , but which men were a disgrace to any religion , for the conduct they had exhibited in Stevenson ' ssquare , and at Carpenter ' s Hall , the week before . The Chairman thon called upon Mr . James Cartledge to address the meeting , who , in a humorous style , openexl a fire upon the Whigs , which raked them fore and aft , till they were fairly " cleaned out "
  
  STOCKTON . —The " plague" have had a private meeting here , to agree upon a publie petition for the repeal of the Corn LaW 3 . The Chartists were on the look out , butdid not bear of the meeting till it was over , so secret had they been in their movements . There were not more than eighty persons present , and these , our correspondent observes , " the most inconsistent men in the town . " They boasted loudly that they would not support tny candidate who would not pledge himself to vote for a repeal of the Corn Laws , while , at the same time they agreed to support Lord Harry Vane and Mr Bowes , neither of whom will promise to support their humbug polity . They threaten , a public meeting after this ; they had better try it on . Tho Chartists are ready .
  
  K . ERRIMUXR . —At a public meeting held here , a few days ago , we had the pleasure of hearing for the first time an explanation of the glorious principles of the People's Charter .

John YVil «> n > a most ; indefatigable advocate , who delivered a most excellent and spirit-stirring address , which lasted nearly an hour and a half , and Which gave great satisfaction ; at the conclusion , cheers were given for the Charter , and a vote of thanks having been carried to the lee * turer , tbe meeting separated .
  
  KENSINGTON . —Tbe fustian jacketed masons , bearers of tho national petition , determined not to slacken in their exertions for the good cause , got up , at thbir own expense , a public meeting in York-street , Westminster , on Thursday week , and invited Doctor M'Douall t « lecture on tbe rights of labour and the inroads made upon them during successive governments . The place was crowded with hundreds of anxiow li steners , and many were compelled to leave for want of accommodation . Mr . Ridley late M . C . was calltd to the chair , and Oitened the proceedings in an excellent address , and was followed by Dr . MDouall , ia an excellent and energetic lecture which occupied an hour and a half in its delivery . At its conclusion , Mr . Wilson moved , aud Mr . Wheeler , seconded , the adoption of
