He next attacked ¦ CSrien- ^ eiherted the audience not to be led awaj by speakers , and sat down t > y seconding tae resolution * ' - ; . The Chairman then read the addrtssw and resolutions , after whJcb ; : '"" -- " ¦; "'
Mr . Lrach earne forward amid tremendous cheering . He was very glad-that suolt sDenoe and attention naif Keen obserred ; while the gentlemen who had preceded Ham were speaking ; He then exploded every argument advanced by the Repealers , and . repudiated the avowed object of these men , who were exporting their sympathy abroad and neglected objects under their noses at home—of men travelling to Russia , Prussia , and the bnrning sands of Africa , to find people who wanted clothing , whilst thousands in theff own conn try were walking the streets nearly naked , and proved , from statistical documents , that in proportion as trade had increased the wages of the workmen had decreased ; adverted to the conduct of the League at Stoekport , in making" such
enormous reductions ; showed how machinery operated against' the interest of the working classes ; and that whilst the CotoIawb had taken £ 20 , 000 , 000 , the redaction in wages had been as much as £ 120 , 000 , 000 . He hoped the gentlemen of the press would-noiicethat . ( Several voicea cried out Northern Star . ) He said that fact had not been in the Star yet , but it should be . i Loud cbeers . ) At a printing establishment in the town there were twenty-six xnen then doing as much by the aid of machinery as 530 could print with hand blocks twenty years ' ago ; an improvement bad been discovered which enabled them to print any number « f colours by machinery , and one man ana a boy were doing as much work as twenty men could do only nine months ago . The speaker brought a number of faetp , figures , and dates to bear npon his position , which opset everything advanced by his opponents , and concluded by asking
the following qnsstkm , and moring sn imeiKiment m favour of the Charter . Question : How was it , if the Corn Laws would give an impetus to trade , and thus enhance wages , that from the year 1793 to 1815 , when there were no Corn Laws , and when < he-English manufacturers had a supremacy of trade over the world , when they had none to compete with them , the trade increased fivefold whtn there was no Corn Laws , and yet wages came down in that period one half ! In retiring he -was loudly cheered . Same confusion here took plaoe betwixt the parties on the platform . A few ef the Irishmen wanted to get at Mr . Bankin , wbo rose to second the amendment . Such was the confusion and uproar , that we could scarcely 'hear a word he said . Tae Irishmen were eabittered against Rankin for moving a Tote of censure upon the conduct of Daniel O'Conneil , a short time since hi Salford .
Mr . Aclakd , the great gun of the league , being present , came forward at the request of the Chairman , to answer the question of Mr . Leach . Bat , he , instead of fairly and honestly answering the question , went into * long rambling speech quite irrelevant to the point at issue ; and continued , notwithstanding the repeated cries of " question , " to sheffla , equivocate , and shrink fromi * . The people 1 were pauent to a fault ia fchns beisg bumbogged . It was sot until near eleven o '« lock , when he had spoken upwards of half an hour , that he could be prevailed upon , even by his own . party , to answer the question . This was a scheme of the Corn Law i party to weary the people , and get our party to leave , so that they might cany their resolution , i When he did oome to it , he put words iato Leach's mouth he never made use of , and then began to answer it in his own way .
Mr . Ls&ch rose and told him he was wrong , and he knew it himself . Mt . Aclisd then made another attempt , but put entirely a wrong construction on the words . The meeting saw the evasive conduct , ef Acland , and pretty well told him of it . : Mr . Leach then put tae qneetion again . Aclaxd sever attempted to touch the subjeci . The meeting became iapatient , and repealed cries were made for the ameBdaseat ,- & skirmish took place ; and afUs brandishing of etioks , and a deal of confusion , all was quiet again . Acland went on again untH interrupted by cries of " time to go home , pat the amendment . "
At length the people were exasperated : some times cheers were given for the Charter , followed bv shouts and stamping by the Repealers . AcUad all this time attempting to address the meeting , until not a word cooki be heard . At this time , the Chairman came stamping over our books * JmockTBg down t , ur ink bottles , &c . followed by several others . . Daust , omb of tbe Corn Law Repealers , began granting at oar reporter for reporting Adand ' s speech . Fixigas , m order to excite bis countrymen against him , said be was the biggest liar that ever put pen to paper . The ILeporteb , in reply , « alled him a villain , for wishing his countrymen to break his , the reporter ' s head .
Daring this time Aclutd went on with his shouting to the top « f his voice . Ftrasijc than began to * bu 3 e . Leach , calling him a raseal T « kc ist . la justice to Wjhteb , we mast say , t ^ at , had it not been for him , our reporter would have had a most excellent chance of getting his exaniam cracked . This noise and confusion , continued till near eleven © 'dock . -The reporters all nee from -their seats , jud pat their books into their poekete , as though apprehensive of a row . An Irishman omder the . platform drew kis bladgeon from under his coat , and this was the signal for the onslaught . About forty or fifty bludgeons- were shortly brandishing in the body of the Hall in ^ a cluster . They thea commenced playing away with
their stieks on big , little , young , and old , hitting right aad left , and cleared all before them . Here , then , were the Chartists unarmed ag&inst those coldblooded fecoeiftuB madmen . The Irishmen kaving possession , ssany were rnning out of the H& 1 L until some one rushed to the door , and prevented them going out . Whilst tfais dreadful and bloody work was going on , oar reporter -asked Warren , Daly , Acland and Veald —<( the latter seas tho man who took the Chartist hasting attheStephsnaon ' s Square butchery)—whether it was not their party , to wkioh Acland replied it was , and be-denouneed ic Yeald said he would uever attend another meeting if that ¦ m-oald be tbeir caadaet . Mr . Leach seemed very zauch put abo « i at seeing his fellow craitares eo
crneily us « d , cried shaae . Finnigan and Big Mike said it was our party- Mr . Leech said if they would go and seise any oaeefthem , he would appear , and swear to thea the next day . But tkey would not do that Tbe lying viUaina knew who had engaged the foolish men to do such dirty work . Every sensible nan upon the platfonn oried shame . It was not till the Chartists had beea attacked three tunes , that they offered any natstanoe ; but , finding their liies were at stake , they mast fight , or be killed . A young « farer man , wttfa a snort round Jacket , a mechanic , had received a blow at in *
eomntencement of taw meeting ; two Irishm * went to him again for she pnrpose of beating hist again . ' He met them beth like a' man , having nothing "but bis nsts , knocked them both down , took their sticks from them , threw them »« our heads on to the platform , and then kicked ( hem till they , run head first into the crowd . The Irishmen before bad teumpnaatl j bra » dished their shilfilahH . The Charfasts then knocked down the forms , jumped npon the nnder part , broke off the bearers , and furniEhed gustoselres with strips of wood . They then etosed in upon the blndeeon men , and separated them . A good eUca-Bp JSgiii fax commenced , which lasted ,

hard fighting , for about ten minutes , they took all the sticks of the Irishmen , and gave them a right good thrashing , drove all the ^ blackguard portion entirely out of the room , and then with an enthusiastic and vociferous about , gare "hurrah for the Chart ** " and requested the chairman to pnV-the amandnwat . The Cern Law p * r ^ y eoeing th » ir . p « tr , tbe cowardly bludgeon men , completelyrouted , and . the Chartista is posaefiaibnof tie xoo ' m , although they said nothing whae their party were masters , refused to put the amendment . Griffin * then went fo the front of the
platform , and said , as the chairman did not seem disposed to put the nmrn ^ mf nt ajiii motion , seeing he was likely to be out-voted , he would do it for him . ( Tremendous cheermg . ) The amendment was then put , aad aibretto ! hands was . held up in ^ s favour , which > Marly paralyBed the Com Law party , and was folio wad hj loagrcontinqed cheering { after which hadsabsided aad silence restored he pat the motion , not a haad waa held up for it in the body of the halt nor the gallery , « nd only about a dozen on the platform . .-. : ; .
Mr .

Before dosing ths report we wiah . to be understood that we donb include amongst these rude men who go to meetings for the purpose of breaking people ' s heads , the inteUigenV lriifamen . - Tbera were worei present who were-T « ed to see thair poor deluded countrymen made tools of for kuca purposes ^ ^ he Repealers of the Union paued a rebolution denounck ^ speb , cpnduet , on Sunday .

THE DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE WEST OF ENGLAND , * c , TO THEIR POLITICAL BRETHREN . Oppbessbd Felw > w Codtitktiien , —Having been delegated to meet in Bath for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying ouV the recommendations made by tbe Executive , we beg to point your particular attention to the resolutions agreed to Vy as , after mature deliberation , and which appeared in the Northern Star of the 23 d Instant We call for your co-operation to carry these important resolutions into effect . Do you desire to obtain justice through the enactaeat of the Charter—aid us in thrusting that great measure of sight npon tbe present corrupt
legislature . We highly approve the plans propounded by the Executive Council , because they are such as appeal to reason rather than to passion , and are sore to enlist nnder ocr banier all who are truly patriotic , and willing to join in the onward movement of tbe industrious but fnfiering millions . On your exertions at the present moment everything depends—the Petition must be signed by four millions of persons , all arrived at years of discretion . It will require a sacrifice on the psrt of those wbo are best prepared and most willing to make it , to obtain this enormous number of signatures—bat it must be done . The Convention must bs suppsrted—backed up by the approving efforts of the millions—and the people must be taught to attach due importance to this great and intelligent assembly . If ws desire to be emancipated from slavsry , these things mwti be effected .
This is the path b 7 which we are to arrive at liberty : if we are f iint-hearted and irresolute , we shall be defeated , and never arrive at the glorious end . The task is easy , the duty pleasing , the cause just , and the reward happiness and prosperity . Are not tfetse sufficient incentives to action ? la there an honest man who will not aid u * » Then , brethren , lei us commence the work at oooe . Aid us to procure lecturers for cur counties , whosa duty it shall be to enlighten the minds of those who are ignorant of our principles ; let us disseminate knowledge by the distribution of political tracts , and Chartist periodicals ; i ^ t ns ca rry tho 2 * ational Petition from door to door , aad ia every publio tborcrafbfsre let sheets be Iain far sign&tnres ; begin to collect funds for the forthcoming Convention ; in short , do tour dtjti , and victory i * curs !
Does any one aak what good can be derived from the proposed proceedings—we answer : Public opinion * cili 6 « created in 4 w favour—opinion "which carrleB with it resolution and determination ; a revolution of miad and of principle will be effected ; the apatbetac will be aroused ; the ignorant instructed ; and the unjust terrified . Imagine for a moment the fallowing : — in London , a Convention of forty honest , intelligent , patriotic men , assembling daily , aad , through the press , addressing the whola population of the kingdom , by speeches eloquent , arguaentative , and persuasive : the masses , pressed down by dire necessity , eagerly catching every sentence uttered by men they believe to be labouring to promote universal good . The pnblk mind
drawn to and attention rivetted upon , the presentation of the national Petition . Notice of the presentation , and & motion upon it , given to the House of Ceamcms . Tbe day arrives—a huge mass approaches St . { Stephen's —a dense mnltitnde accompanies it , « od load &a 4 reiterated sife their eheeis . The repeated penis of vociferous excitation without strike the eats of the mock representatives of tbe people—a whisper runs through " both sides" of the House— " the people are advanciog to demand their rights . '" The unwidely mass has arrived at the porti ' . s of " tbe House . " Borne on tbe shoulders cf thirty or forty sturdy men , is an Immense roll cf paper , banded with large hoops of iron—it cannot entw—the 4 oors are opened wide—but not wide enough far it * admission—tke hoops are unhanded—the petition UBToCed , and miles of paper , representing
millions of people , are gradually dragged into tbs House , amidst tbe joy of the people—the cheers of their friands and tbe consternation of their enemies . Silence restored , the petition it read—with Its msnj . tongued tenths—ajoud in " the House . * , The number of petitioners In declared to be four millions . The honest , though email section of " the House , " have rallied to support the people's demands . Eloquent appeals are made—bat the strongest argument will be the huge petition on the floor . The dishonest , and the knavish , wfli have deserted their Kits—Use Ecene will have overpowered them—and the battle -will be fought by a fourth part of the Legislative assembly . A motion , In favour of the People ' s Charter is made—fear will have don » its work , . ind though , perhaps , the People's Charter may net at , that mome&l become the law , its fostiee will be . admitted by the dirfeicn upon the

The "lads , " however , were too far north , and though no effort was made . to get them together , they assembled in full force , upiet the , " AntiaJ' and passed a resoiution in favour of the whole Charter . Many b ^ gh spuudiDg nsjnes were pot forth by the promoters of the meeting , and amongst the rest CoL Thompson . Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P .. a Mr . C .
J . Symons , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . ' But all would ; oof 49 « "Othello ' s occupation ' sgone I' ' Tbe > room was crowded to exoass .. , Mr .

BMki * eaid the ; maeiiiig bald been ; c 6 nvened by «^ fLwdfP ^ Hamefltarj | tef prm Association for the purpose of affording an opportunity to ' a few friends of the prinoiplea of free trade , and of the extension of the suffrage , of addressing them onebme importantpojnts , with respect to the best meaas of forwarding the principles of Reform . The object , Ua believed , was to lay before , the meeting a statement of tke real position of the people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrvW into efleot
measures of Retorm . and particularly to draw attention to the neoes 6 hy for a cordial union of ali daaaes of reformers . After some other explanatory observations ., he said he would not detain them longer than to make an apology for Mr , ; Roebuck , who wa ^ prevented by indisposition from attending . ( Cries of "He dare not come ; " "he ' s a traitor i" " did he runaway on Sharman Crawford ' s motion ! " ) Col . Thompson having been called : npon by the Chairman , then rose to address the meeting , and was received with cheers . He said as they had placed him . in front he would briefly ^ stato his opinions . Ha puBpacted that there w ^ not one maa in tea in that meeting who did , not agree in the proposition , that the defects in the representation of
( he people . were the souices of the , evils under which the country was suffering . He did' not mean that they were the cause of men slipping down in the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable' evila . He then went to show what constituted a , Government , whiob h * contended ought to rest solalyoa the representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , ana not merely for the happiness of a select few . All ola&ses were called upon , to support the Government , and to obey thelawaof the country ; all classes , therefore , ought to have an equal power in th& making of the laws . As a protection in the exercise of this power , the poor man ought to have the Ballot , that he might exerciBe his power in an
independent manner . -Th » artstooraoy , jfa all their transac tions , were careful fo * themselves , but when the people asked for , the same protection , it ww denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merohant and manufacturer had , and ought to have , considerable influence over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bulk of the people should have none at all . It was like a joint stock company different members might have different proportions of shares . in it , but he thought no one ever heard of a joint stock company where the shares of some of the company were nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought all would agree that the . representation wanted amending ,
and he advised them not to think it was a hopeless business , which it might be , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who saw tho necessity of a change , and he exhorted them not to refuse the assistance of such men , but to go on with those who would go on with them . One result of defective representation was . the restriction upon industry , which amounted to the demand of a greater . amount of the time and labour of the operative for a given quantity of food , to those who had that food at their disposal . He stood there the advocate for improvemeut in tho represeatatioo . CLoud cheers . ) He knew no maa who had gone further than he had done . ( Continuedcheers . ) , There was
a document called the Charter , which he believed to be nothing bat s > fair embodiment of those principles of justice for which great and good men in taese latter times had fought and contested . ( Prolonged cheering ) it contained , he believed , five points , which were agreed on before the document was drawn up . It was his good fortune to be one of eight or ten members of Parirament concerned in drawing up that document . ( Cheers . ) He had never denied it—he had never shrunk from it—he had never disavowed the name , and never been afraid to be called a Chartist . ( Hear , hear , and cries of 14 Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) But there was a difference of opinion concerning the , way in which that Chart or should be advocated . They were told there
was only one Charter , only one Chartism , and only one way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of " That's true . ") He did not think that those who held that opinion would be able to prevent a large body of men from taking another way with , respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to gain the Charter was by uniting on . those great and pressing evils with the numberu of powerful men who . were willing to go with them . ( Hear . ) He did not ask , any mail or body of men to give up their own objects . What he wanted to submit to that meeting was , whether it would not bo best on the whole , admitting differences of opinion , but not quarvelling about them , to let each go his own way , if he oould , and welcome . ( Hear , hear . ) Why should not one party say to another , if you can put down or make an
impression on the evil , ia God ' s name go on . If we can put down or make an impression on tho evil , in God 8 name do not hinder us . ( Cheers . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the . proposal which he came to make . He left it for them to consider whether there was not something like rational sense and good reason in it , and whether there were not many of them who would not bo inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommended . ( The Colonel eat down with applause . ) Mr . Hameu Stansfeltd , in moving the first resolution , said he would not detain them long ; his health would not permitliim to address them . He hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , ia promoting that union which was bo desirable . The resolution was— "That this meeting views the defective state of the representation as the source of the suffering under which the country labours . "
Mr . John Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Jellinoeb . Symonds supported the resolution . He believed there was no safety in this country , nor any chance of restoring the national prosperity , without the people were invested with a . full and fair share in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) The landowners had returned the present House of Commons , aud so long us they were permitted to have a monopoly , iri the legislation , so long would the interests ot' the people bo sacrinced to the cupidity of a wealthy and selfish aristocracy . If , liow ' ever , the working classes expected to hare therr grievances redressed , they must be united among themselves . Union was strength—division was weakness . Ho had lately visited Switzerland , where the
representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was in full operation , and at the same time , there was the most cordial union between masters and men . This state of things was productive of tho greatest possible benefit to the country , and he did not believe there was a more prosperous poople to be found than those of Switzerland , where , it should be borue in mind , Universal Suffrage was the law of the land . ( Loud cheers , ) The speaker , after thus paving the way , went to tho question of the Corn Law ? , making it evident that ho had received a retaining fee on that point . Ha was of opinion that machinery did not injure the working man ; he gat , however , some pretty intelligible hints that working men did hot agree with him . The Ciiaibman then put the resolution to the meeting , and it was carried with one dissentient .
Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows : — " That the confiscation of the property of the industrious classes , inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is the most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , and various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuistical nature of the proceedings , and it was at once determined that , as the-League had thus attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in resolution 1 , the meeting would endeavour to bring
them back to tho real question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He eontended that the Corn Laws were really one of the greatest M practical ' grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called himself Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by the Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was tib results of the Corn Laws , the landlords secured to themselves the monoooly of law-making . Mr . Nicholls , an operative , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Go ^ se Club , ) seconded the ' resolution .
Mr . Joseph Lees replied to ^ he " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised he had not exhibited more practice in his it . solution . The first

resolution admitted that the source of all the evils of the eouhfery w * s ml 4 efe « tlve representation , and had Dr . fcmileB been » fraetfe » l man , as he prof ««© tobe , he w < mld haM » t © noe . i ^ tto 8 omr » had been admitted , hara toam bd&y otA with the remedy .

about to take its jriiuung v iuid widening wfy ; ^ tieebuntry ( Lou 4 ^ ihflpw . ) ^ There were very ^ reat suspicions at the time whether the Com La * agffation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise .

( Shputa of ^* No , no , " and loud , cheers . ) With such a union of ajpUtM they might have bad an army that neither Whiga ; , nor Tories could have ' stood airainst . ( Tremendous cheering . ) That
meeting ought to considerjn what way they could best obtain their rights . They , had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found it would not answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not come' to the Chirtfets , because they Would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick » t , * hey should say , at once , thi ^ association will go-the ; whole length a § a . Chartist Association . ( Tremendous cheering . ) - He concluded by moving " That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Chaiter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , and threw the whole "League " nearly into convulsions . ) \
Mr . Andeew Gabdwhb was received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motioa , said lie thoBght the storm had now commenced , bu ^ whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoptd every man would be allowed a fair . hearing ., This was the second Mi of the Marshall ' s mill meeting ; that waa got np to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought he oould wheedle the Chartists well ; with only two exceptions , every speaker then present avowed themselves for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to uaite the middle and lower classes . . ( Hear , hear . ) Had'the Household Suffrage succeeded ! ( Shoots of "No . no . "v
Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back t Why did not their ; Association come out at once for the whole ( Sorter ! Why should not the ; all unite on an equality , of rights ? ( Great obeering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but-dealed the pratioabiUty of getting it . ( Cries of We can get it ; " ) He said H was possible to geL it , but they : woi ^ ld get nothing lees than the Charter , because tbe Chartists would not agitate for any mortal thing less than the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the beat mau amongst the middle classes ., and he believed no one had been worse treated by $ heWhi « party , than Colonel Thompson had been . He bad avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he would abide bv it . ( Hear .
hear , and cheers . J There was on « gentleman who should have been there , who waanot there . Where Was Mr . Ha-ebuc ^ V ( Cheers , uproar , and cries of " He dare not come l ** > He waa a Universal Suffrafie man , and he had acted a very treasonable part against the people . He thought be was afraid to come , eomethins like another of their friends , he meant Dani ( Loud shouts of * No , no . " ) He ought to make a tour through the country , and submit his conduct to a vote of oensnre or of thanks in every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither Whig 3 nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . ) If the Reform Assoeiation were sincere in their object of union , letthem lay down a good basis of union oh Which the Chartists oould stand as well as
themselves . ( Great cheering , and cries of "No Surrender . ") He begged leave to second the amendment . ( Tremendous cheers , which lasted for some time . ) Previous to putting the resolution , the Chairman said , as Mr . Curtis , from the United States , was present , he thought they had better perhaps hear him . : Mr . Curtis , who , we understand ia from Ohio , then stood forward and made a long speech , which had , scwaoly a reportablo point in it . It is not known where the League have got hold of him . We " calculate" he wants to travel at an easy rate to himself through ; England , and has found the Leagae Sufficiently gullible to pay his expenees . He came out , at the dose of his . address , with an exhortation to temperance .
Mr . Westlakk ( a Chartist ; was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis . Mr . R . F . Lees said , they were met there that night , not to speak as to ' particular grievances , but to ask on what principles they were to unite in order to get all their wrongs redressed . ( Loud cheers ) What said Col . Thompson I He said that , because the manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of the aristocracy , were suffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object of resolution second ? To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he Would ask , when those lawa wew destroyed , did not the interest of the manufacturing aristocrats cease to be identified with their interests ! ( Loud
cheers . ) Then he would ask them , calmly , and serioualy , what pledge had they , when the Corn Laws were destroyed and the pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objects 1 ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen ! and he was afraid that Echo would answer , Where ' ( Laughter . ) That was a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and they severed the princi p le of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked them to give their voices , and dco'are in Court and Parliament that the great practical grievance was the Corn Laws . . Their reply was , Give us our
rights , our votes , and we will destroy that and every other grievance . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) If they were rational enough to give their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repeated cheers . ) Though they might assist them to destroy the Corn Laws ia two or three years , when that waa done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Curtis said the instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Corn Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when tho greatest of practical grievances was perpetrated without it 1 He was a thoroughgoing Radical , a Chartist , if they liked the name . He
was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Chrtet , and he maintained that the practical axiom of all life was " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud cheers . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from thcrpowerful aristocracy of the country a repeal of tho Corn Laws , which raised the rents , which supplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) ¦ Mr . Thos . Punt rose uudcr greatly oxoited feelings ^ and . first endeavoured to bully , then to coax the meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst great interruption , and made a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chairman then put the amendment and the original resolution to the meeting , whoa there was a tremendous majority in favour of the amendment . This , however , did not satisfy the " League , ! ' and a proposition waa made that the two parties should
divide themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room to the right of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This was acceded' to afcer some demur , and the two parties having taken their respective positions , the number In favour of the amendment appeared to bo more than four to one as compared with those in . favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Chairman ; however , when he had got the meeting divided , again went through the ceremony of taking a show of hands , and this having satisfied him , he declared the amendment carried . _ This announcement was received with tremendcus cheering , clapping of hands , < fec , which lasted for some minntes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . "
Dr . Smiles then moved , and Mr . Andrew Gabdeneb seconded , a vote of thanka to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been given for O'Connor , for the Charter , and tot Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o'clock .

London Smithfikld Mabkkt , Mondat , Oct . 25 th . —Owing to the arrival of beasts fresh up to our market this morning being considerably on the increase , the weather unfavourable to slaaghterinft and the attendance of provincial dealers by no means numerous , the beef trade—particularly with the middling and inferior -qualities " .-of-stock , which formed a large portion of the supply—was excessively heavy , and although a declino . of 2 d . per 81 b . was submitted to in the quotations , a clearance was
not effected . From Scotland we received 39 Scots and . 190 sheep , moat of which were exhibited in fair condition . There was a fair number of sheep on the market , while the mutton trade was in a very Blu g ^ ish state , and , in some instances , the prices declined 2 d . per 81 bs . However , the very finest old Downs produced , with difficulty , 5 j . per 8 ! b 9 . The veal trade was depressed , but ' -no ' alteration-wM noticed in the quotations . Neat small porkers were quite as dear ; bui large hogs might have been purchased on easier terms .
