Hull Pouch . —Wei > jies » at . —A dark looking , black whiskered tailor , named William Jackson , who has recently opened a shop in Bowlalley-Jane , was arraigned before ike ratting magistrates , charged with having while in a state of intoxication , about
two o ' clock on Monday morning , violated the Queen s police , and broken the windows of ft domicile in Pottery , inhabited by two ladies , one of them the widow of a respectable professional man . Mr . Scott appeared for tho complainants . It appeared from the evidence , that the inmates of the house were alarmed , and the neighbourhood disturbed by lond knocking , until one of tho ladies ro&e , and from the chamber window remonstrated with the prisoner on the impropriety of hia eonduct , and desired him to go away . He poured out a volley of most abasive and disgusting language , and smashed in the windows .
The police was called , but on the appearance of the officer , the knight of the thimble made good his escape . Being known , a summons was procured , and his attendance before the magistrates was ordered for Tuesday . On the Tuesday morning , however , prior to the calling of the case , the bench were informed , either by Jackson , or some one delegated by him , that the matter had been privately arranged . This taming oat to be a gratuitous falsehood , a warrant was issued for his apprehension , and he was taken into custody that afternoon , bat bailed out . He was permitted to depart on payment of the eosts aud damages .

DEWSBTJRY . —A public meeting was held in the Assqeiation-rfcon ) , over the Cooperative Stores , on Tuesday evening last , called to hear an address from Mr . George Julian Harney , and for the purpose of affording to any person , the opportunity of questioning him on the recent correspondence between himself , Mr . Mark Crabtree , and the Chartists of this place . Mr . Wm . Moseley Stott was called to the chair , who called upon any person who had any quest ion to put to Mr . Harney to oome forwards . After waiting a considerable time and noone appearing , Mr . Harney said it afforded him great satisfaction to meet his friends of Dewsbury again , though he felt himself placed in an awkward position , standing there in the character of defendant , yet having no accuser to meet , no charge to grapple with . Mr .
Harney then briefly commented upon the correspondence above alluded to , and afterwards entered into general topics connected with the cause of Chartism . He sat down loudly cheered . Mr . E . Clarke moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . T . Robinson , aad carried unanimously : — w That this meeting havingheard with great pleasure the manly , straightforward , and noble reply of G . J . Harney , to the suspicions excited by Mr . Mark Crabtree , whom they consider to have acted a censurable part , ' hereby express their unbounded confidence in Mr . Harney , whom they regard as an unniohing patriot , -worthy of the support and admiration of the ' country . " It was also moved bv Mr . Whtttintrton . and seconded by Mr . W .
Hobson—carried unanimously : — " That remembering the past services of Mr . Harney in the cause o democracy , hia labours and privations in liberty ' s cause , this meeting consider him justly entitled to the honour of a seat in the next Convention , and do hereby call upon him to allow himself to be put in nomination , as one of the candidates for the county of York . " Mr . Harney returned thanks , not only for the kind vote of confidence the meeting had been pleased to pass , but also for the unexpected honour they had conferred in agreeing to the resolution just adopted : he should obey their call , having the confidence of the men of Dewsbury , who had so nobly stood by him at the late election ; he felt assured that he had the confidence of the
Chartists of Yorkshire generally . If elected to tho Convention , he pledged himself fearlessly and efficiently to perform the duties of the post assigned to him . It was a post of danger as well as honour ; but as he had stood by the people in the trying times of 1839 , he would be ready to stand by them in 1842 . He had now the benefit of experience ; but th&t experience had not curbed his seal in the cause . If not elected , he should rejoice that Yorkshire had found far abler men than himself , but though abler might and could be found , to none would he yield in a sincere love ot hia country , and a desire to aohieve her political salvation . Mr . Harney moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman , which having been awarded and acknowledged , the meeting dissolved .

BIRMINGHAM . PUBLIC MEETING OF TRADES' DELE
GATES AND OTHERS . STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . An important meeting of delegates from the various trades in Birmingham , and other parties favourable to the strike of the London Stonemasons , was held at the Grand Turk , Bell-street , on Wed ' nesday evening last . At half-past eight the business commenced . Mr . John Roddie , etonemasofi , was unanimously called to the chair . He addressed the meeting in the following terms : —Gentlemen and Fellow-workmen , it is with great diffidence I take the chair on this important occasion , particularly as I am not in ihe habit of addressing public meetings . I have no
doubt that my labours will be light , and that each speaker will obtain a fair aud impartial hearing . I will not trespass further on your time , but call upon Mr . John Gray to address you on the facts connected with the strike of the London masons . Mr . Gray commenced his address by reading a circular , ? w copy of which had been sentto the various trades in Birmingham , and which set forth some of the leading reasons why the London stonemasons struck against the tyrannical conduct of Allen , the tyrannical tool of Messrs . Grissell and Peto , the contractors for building the saw Houses of Parliament . He thon said he had no doubt but most of the penons present had heard tell of the strike of the stonemasons at the new Houses of Parliament ; but a 3 they all might not be aware of the facts
connected with it , he would endeavour to explain them . He would commence by describing the conduct of tho foreman , whose inhuman tyranny the men felt bound to resist . One of their shopmates received intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother ; he informed Mr . Allen of his wish to go and see her interred , and wished to have a week or fortnight ' s leave of absence . Allen informed him that if such was the care , he might stop away alto-Si ther , as he would not kef pa job open for any man at length of time . Another of the men had tho misfortune to break his leg , by a fall from a scaffold ; and on hJ 9 return to work , thought , of coarse , that bo objection would be offered , as he had been lamed in the service of his employers . Allen immediately
discharged him , saying that he wanted no such ' dluwncd hobbling fellows there . The same foreman had told another of the workmen who had been at home ill for some tinn-, and whose wife was also iu the same condition at the time , that he did not want men there of his description . Another of the men had been called from his work to attend the death-bed of his wife , and when he returned , he was told by this monster to go back and die with her and be damned . Another , who had been a long time out of employ , and had been so pinched in consequence , happened to fall sick and staid at home three days ; when he returned , Allen told him he wanted no such men as him—ho must havo sound men .
Those were the chief reasons why they had deter * mined to strike against him . The men employed at Woolwich Dock and Nelson ' s Monument , had struck for the same reason . Mr . Grissell had promised a deputation , that if the charges brought against Allen were true he would discharge him ; and when another deputation waited on him , he denied having said so , and told them that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to speak to them . He would leave the meeting to judge whether such conduot ought to be tolerated by tho trades of London aud Birmingham . ( No , no . ) He would now retire , having staled the essential points of the case , Mr . Gray then resumed his seat amid general applause .
Mr . Peter Bishop , saddler , next addressed the meeting . He said , although he was not connected with the stonemasons , yet he sympathised with them and would yield them all the assistance in his power . From what he could gather from the Northern Star , he understood that Allen had formerly been connected with the Trades' Union , had been very efficient , and acted his part well , and that he had been well backed by the stonemasons for so doing . His efficiency in this respeot , no doubt , marked him out as a prizsable object to the masters , for a ? he knew so well how trade affairs were conducted , he would be the better enabled to practice tyranuy on his fellow workmen . He considered the Stonemasons perfectly justified in the steps which they had taken , and would endeavour to in
duoe his fellow-workmen to assist them , especially as he considered theirs to be a strike on prinoiple , and not for an advancement of wajres , for he had long seen through the inutility of striking for wagts . The working men produced all the wealth in the country , and ought at least to have a good living , and be treated as men . It was now quite clear that no one trade could sustain itself against the inroads of their masters . The men who earned thirty shillings per week ought to unite with those who had fifteen , and then they would be enabled to etfeot something . It was that which caused him to admire the character of O'Connor , who often told them the folly of tho man who earned 30 s . holding himself alcof from , and looking down on , the man who
only got 15 j ., it was that feeling which made the masters take advantage of the men . He had himself been offered situations over other men , bat would never accept of them , for he knew that had he done so , he would be expected to act the Dart of a tyrant towards them . He had no wish to introduce party politics , but from the manner in which Mr . O'Connor had acted towards the working men , he thought him worthy of their esteem . He saw sufficient in the Star to convince him of Allen ' s infamy , and thought hanging too good for such eondaot . He was sorry that the stonemasons' trade was such as would preclude the possibility of their setting Hp trade for themselves , for on all strikes , no matter if they had ten thousand pounds of a fund to begin with , the masters knew that it would be exhausted at some
time . He should like to see things so managed , and such unity existing amongst the working men , that they should turn out one day and setup for themselves the next . He looked upon the system of " chasing " , made use of by some of the masons as an abominable system , for it was quite dear that there would always be some men more able than others . Having said so much , he would repeat his determination to do all in his power to forward their interests , and would leave it to others to throw more light on the matter . He wished to know from the masons which plan they had adopted to carry their point Mr . Thomas Skabubic , » stonemason , said that they allowed the meii ten shillings a-weefc , and were under very Heavy exDencoe besides . . But they hoped to gain sufficient assistance from tho other trades , which was the reason why they had called the present meeting .
Mr . Thompson , carpenter , wished to know whether they had a list of the trades to whom circulars were sent . - , ¦ '' . "• Mr . W » , Slanrt , secretary to the stonemason ? , then read a list of the trades which had been sup-

plied , amongst whom were the following : —Carpenters , Bricklayers , Braziers , Engineers , Mechanics , Button Burnishers , Curriers , Brush Makers Tinplaie Workers , and Tailors . Mr .- Walibh Thorrb , tinplate worker , wished to know whether they intended to form a committee of the trades . His trade would assist , but wished to understand the real grievance ; he thought that all tho trades had not received circulars . It was then suggested thai each delegate present sheuld speak as their trade stood on tie list , and that they should form themselves into a committee , and appoint a secretary . „ .. . Mr . John Wiluams , delegate from the Tailors Society , thought it would be folly to do so in the present stage of the business . He hoped they had all come there to act fairly and honestly ; and , as whatever was transacted wonld have to be read over on the next night of meeting , he thought that one of the stonemason's body should be appointed .
The Delegate from the Engineers agreed in the sentiments of Mr . Williams ^ Mr . Henby BtCK was then unanimously appointed secretary for the evening . Mr . Gcslikg , silver plate worker , rose and said he considered that the present strike was not only interesting to the master stonemasons , but also to the masters in other trades , for it was the principle involved in the present strike-, which was the grand object , and if Messrs . Grisjell and Peto succeeded in compelling the men to submit to such treatment , it would bo a heavy blow to the working men throughout the country . Ho hoped it would not be
determined that the names of all the delegates from the other trades who were present should be published . He knew several there in the room it would be calcul » ied to ipjare—they might also have persons in that room in favour of the masters . He did not know how it was mother towns , but such was the case in Birmingham . He therefore thought they had better not call over names , but merely mention the trade . He did not mind anything about it himself , bus thought they should get a larger number to attend and support them by so doing . The Secretary then commenced calling over the names of the trades .
A Delegate from the 1 st society of carpenters , stated that their trade had not time to call a meeting . He was not , therefore , officially appointed , bnt they intended to call one , and would give the masons their support . 'A Delitgate from the 2 nd society of earpanters stated that their body were enthusiastic in tho cause , and would give their cordial support . Two Delegates from ( he tailors ' society stated that their body considered the present Etrike not one for money but for prinoiple . They never felt more warmly on a subject than the present . They had empowered them to act at that meeting on behalf of the body , and would respond to their call . They had formcrlv had occasion to complain of the ar > athv
of other trades towards them at the time of their strike in London ; they would , however , forget the past , as they considered that if the tyrants succeeded in this , it Wonld be the signal for others . A Delegate from the Engineers stated that they had received the circular late , and had not time to call their body together , but their committee had deputed him to attend and get what information he could in this matter . Their rules did not allow a fund for strikes , therefore whatever they did would be voluntary . He wished to ask a few questions before ho sat down . Was Allen a member of the mason ' s body t No . Were any of their members at present in tha employ of Grissell and P « to 1 One . He wished to know what steps they intended to take
towards those who had turned in ; for if th « y were to be looked upon as being as good as others after this affair was over , ho thought it wonld be wrong ; for it was not the masters who had done them so much , injury ae the unprincipled men who went to work for them under such circumstances ; he thought that proper steps should be taken to induce men not to go to London . The Secretary replied that the only method they took to get them out , was to pay their expences back to the places they had left , if they choose to accept k . They had also placarded the towns where men were likely to be engaged . They had also employed delegates to follow Grissell aud Peto ' s agents , and when they had engaged men , endeavour to disengage them .
A Delegate from the mechanics swlthat he bad been sent from that trade to inquire into the matter . They had no fund for supporting a strike , but would do what they could by voluntary contribution . Hia trade was very warm in the matter , and would assist them . A Delegate from the Labourers' Society said they had received a circular , but there were very few present at the time . They were going to call a meeting , when he had no doubt they would come to a satisfactory conclusion . A D £ Le « atb from the Saddlers' Society stated that they would have a meeting on the following Tuesday , when he had no doubt they would give their assistance . A Delegate froa the bricklayers stated that they held a meeting every week , and would do what lay in their power .
A Delegate froa the braziers said he was desired to inform them that they should have their supporti They considered it to be a strike on principle . He thought it a proof that the masons had some moral feeling about then , by not allowing themselves to be trampled on . They would receive the support of his trade for that reason . A Delegate from the silver-plate workers stated that he had no doubt this woald ba made a national case . He was very sorry to find the press so raueh opposed to them . Delegate meetings like the present are very useful , as they prove to the gentlemen of the so called Liberal press , that they would not be tolerated in blinking those questions where morality and justice were ac stake . He then
animadverted on the unprinoipled conduct of the Weekly Dispatch , and said that the present meetiDg would show to those gentry that if justice was not done to the working men they had sufficient intellect and determination to set up a press for themselves . ( Loud cheers . ) He then descanted on the conduot of the press generally towards the working classes and showed their effect on those who trusted to thoir lying statements , aud concluded by advising the working men to withdraw their support from all papers that did not fairly represent them . Air . George White then addressed the meeting . He considered as he had had a good deal of experience in trades ' unions aud strikes , that a word or two from him would not be thought amiss . He was
not a believer in the doctrine so sedulously disseminated in trade societies , that they should exclude politics . He had seen a vast number of strikes and struggles between the masters and men of various trades ; but he found the , power and influence of capital , assisted by a corrupt Government , always sufficed to turn the scale against the working men . It was true that the workmen sometimes succeeded ; but as soon as the difficulty was over , they became apathetic , and in due time the employers pounced on them like a tiger , and completed their design . This meeting ought to be a lesson to the working classes , for as soon as one trade found its utter incapability to defend itself from the tyranny of employers they uniformly
appealed for assistance to thoir fellow-workmen ; thus showing their true interests ; they found nobody else to assist them ; why then did they support and assist those parties who would not help them in their time of need ? It was quite clear to every thinking man that the working classes would always be tyrannised over and tantalised by suoh men a 8 Grissell , Peto , and others , until they got a voice iu making laws which would protect them , and put a curb on the iuB « lenco of such arrogant scoundrels . One part of the charge against Grissell—aud a tough grissel he thought he was —( laughter)—was , that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to talk te the men who bad raised him to such dignity . The brute . Did he never reflect that workine men
had teelinga of respect for themselves , sufficient to compel them te resent such outrageous insolence ! He again repeated that nothing short of political equality could protect them from all the insalcing taunts and oppressions of those who were allowed to rule over them . The working meu themselves wore to blame , for they had abundant means to remedy it . If a union of a few trades . wa 3 good , what would not a union of the whole body of the working classes accomplish ! Let them therefore Boout the doctrine of non-interference in politics ; for did they not find politics interfering with them every moment of their lives I This strike of the stonemasons was truly emblematical of the state of the nation . Everv
one knew that the members of the preseu ; Houses of Parliament were a common nuisance , and the greatest curse the nation could endure ; and it was a tine prospect for the people when they heard that every stone of the new nouses was hewn and laid amidst the sighs , groans , and curses of the oppressed and insulted workmen . He would , nevertheless , give his most cordial oaals'acce to the masons now on strike , and hoped tha ; every man present would do the same , whether he was a delegate or not . He then suggested various plans which should be adopted by tho meeting ; and . ooucluded amidst loud cheers . Mr . Bishop then
maved"That all the delegates present hand in their names , and be considered a part of the Committee . " The motion was agreed to . A large number of delegates then gave in their names , together with ;\ h » trade they represented . Mr . Johk Williams , tailor , Baid he thought they ought to come to a resolution on the conduct of Grissell and Peto , and their miserable tool Allen He would , therefore , propose the following : — Resolved , "Thatin the opinion of this meeting the conduct of Mespra . Grissell and Peto is inconsistent with the character of upright meu , by deuying . to one deputation the statement which they had mude to a patvious one , and also for tho insulting statement of Mr . Gri 330 iL that he considered he had 'lowered hia dignity' by speaking to working men . We aro also of opinion i ' iiat tbo 3 tonemasons or London were not only justified in the course they hare adopted , bnt they deserfa the thanks of ever v

working man in the country for resisting the tyranny of their contemptible would-be slave-driver Allen * they have thus entitled themselves to the thanks of their class , for upholding their digaity as men , and not allowing their feelings to be outraged in such a manner . " Mr . P . Thompson seconded the resolution . Tiie Delegate from the Engineers suggested an addition to the resolution , which was afterwards adopted and embodied in it . Mr . Gbat then addressed the meeting . He stated that the Weekly Dispatch had misrepresented the masons with regard to the system of " chasing * Tho manner in which it was dene waa as follows : — Allan picked out a strong man , and encouraged hia to do a vast deal of work , permitting him to turn
it on : in a rough state- The Dispatch complained that the Mason ' s Society had not done right in fining him for doing more work than others ; they had not fined him for " chasing , " bat because be bad turned his stone off in a rough state , and had not placed his mark on it . It was quite clear that all men could not work alike , but Alien told them that they should all do as much as this man . The strike was not as some of the papers had represented it , for if the men had left work on their own responsibility , they would receive no support they vrere ordered to strike by the trade , after the cause had been fairly represented . Grissell and Peto were at the present time employing butchers , shoemakers , and others , merely to keep np an ab *
pearanee , in order to hoodwink the Commissioners of Woods and Forests . A Member of Parliament had also made himself very busy endeavouring to procure men to work for them ; but the main body of those he sent knew nothing about the trade . From the spirit he had seen displayed he had no doubt they would succeed . They had upwards of 5 , 000 members connected with them , which , added to the support of the other trades , which was so handsomely promised , he had no doubt of ultimate success . Allen had on a former occasion come to Birmingham , and boasted that he would break up their Society in that hod-bed of Unions ; but they had shewn him they would not be put down by saca a fellow .
Mr . Peter Bishop said he had intended to bring forward [ a resolution with regard to the press . He had some knowledge ot the workings of their sham friends , and knew the necessity and importance of having an honest newspaper to represent them . He had lost all that he could lose on the Midland Representative , and had since closely observed tU 9 coiiduct of those who pretended to be friends of the people , aud found put that the best way of testing them was by taking notice of their behaviour in small things which they might think would
pass unnoticed . They ought to feel thankful to the Northern Star for sending a reporter to their meet * ing . Where was their boasted liberal press of Birmingham ! Why had they not sent a reporter ! He hoped the working men would think for themselves , and not be gulled by pretended friends . . Where wonld the cause of the people be were it not for tho Northern Star ? Where would they , have been that evening were it not for Mr . White , who had rendered them such efficient assistance ! He thought the mason's strike would be burked were it not for
the Star , and therefore thought the proprietor ot it entitled to their thanks . > Mr . John Bamford said the previous Bpeaker should not be content to leave the question without coming to a resolution on it . He admired the conduct of the Star , for the long reports they had in * serted on behalf of the mason *; he , therefore , moved , " That the thanks of the meeting be given to the " Proprietor and Editor of the Northern Star , for giving such goad reports of the masons' proceedings . " Mr . Bishop secauded the resolution .
It was afterwards stated that tho readers of the Dispatch and . other papers might take umbrage at the resolution . Mr . Bishop said they might obviate that by passing a vote of thanks to Mr . White . After a long discussion , it was agreed that the resolution should pass by adding Mr . White ' s name to it . It was then put and unanimously agreed to . The Delegate from the Engiueers , then asked , whether it was true that the masons demanded a uniform rate of wages \ as he considered that would be an encouragement to sluggards . ¦ The SfccitETAKY answered thit they mado no such conditions . If a man went to work for less , - } t wa » his own choice , if he thought he was not worth so much as others ; but if he refused to work for less thau others , and the society thought him worthy the same amount , they would justify him in his refusal .
Mr . JIyland made some remarks to the same effect . . The Delegate from the engineers then moved , " That tho answers given to the questions put to the stonemasons are highly satisfactory . We therefore deem them worthy the support of the country . " Mr . Weirdon seconded the resolution . TheCHAiRKAH then put it , and it was carried unanimously . On the motion of Mr . Bishop the meeting wai adjourned to Wednesday next , at eight o ' clock . The Committee meet on Saturday evening .
A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman and the meeting separated . All parties who wish to assist are invited to attend on Wednesday evening , and any moneys collected for the purpose * can be handed to the committee at tho Grand Turk , Ball-street , ou Saturday evening . [ We have inserted the above lengthy report , at great inconvenience to ourselves , and to the exclusion of much valuable matter , because of the important effect it must have upon the masons' strike throughout the country . The meeting , it will ba seen , was held on Wednesday night ; the report reached ua oil Friday morning : we thank our correspondent for his prompt attention . }

1 BEDS . —Mr . Vincent has visited this p lace , for the purpose of delivering two lectures to the people , on Chartism . On Friday evening , he delivered one of the two lectures in the large room , Fish-market , Shambles , to a crowded and attentive audience , when Mr . Joseph Jones was call ed to the chair . Mr . Vincent , on xiaos , was received with tremendous cheers , and clapping of hands . Wheo-the cheering had 6 ubsid # d , he said , he waa always delighted when he came forward to address a body of men , who were advocating the cause of the people , by seeking tfee adoption of the Charter ; men who were determined by moral means to advance those glorious principles of liberty , for the promulgation of which so many hundreds had angered privations which it never
before was tha lot of man to bear , and in p rison . He deeply lamented and most fervently regretted the act which had been perpetrated . at Newport , which had caused the unjust sentence of transportation for life to be passed upon John Frost , whose treatment by an unjust Government has called forth the deep execrations of every conscientious man , and whose case wonld always , so long as time con tinned , be regretted by every lover of h ; s coantry . Mr . Vinoent , at great length , and in an eloquent manner , detailed the barbarous treatmens wbieh he had himself received in prison . He had been imprisoned for trying to do away with all bad laws , and for endeavouring to gam for the people thai power which had so lone been
withheld from them by a prond , unjust , ignor&ut , and imbc-cile aristocracy , who from the first of their existence had cursed this country with some of the worst laws that any country ever had been cursed witk . He adverted to his own career , and said th&t they might trust to his word ou all matters connected with the present movement , and he could assure them that as he had acted before he went" to prison , and as he Had acted while fee waa in prison , bo had he acted since he came out , and he was determined that he would act in like manner until the object of their desires was attained . The prosecutions and indignities which had bean heaped npon him had not in the least daunted him , bnt on the contrary , he was now more determined to
eo on advocating those principles of democracy , for which he had suffered eo much . He believed that the Charter was the jnst and inalienable right of every man and of every woman and he believed that it wig the duty of all , both voting and old , to do their waost fn endeavouring " to make it beeoxaa law . The eendnct which the Chartists had in ccaeral porsned had in a great measure tended to establish more firmly that superstructure they were rearing for the purpose of fredng their country ; and he reeommendea the more general adoption of the system of lecturing , in order that all might be made acquainted with their jnst rights . He then entered at great length oa the necessity Of adopting moral foree as their rule of action ; and coadfemned entirely the nse of physical force . He exhorted them to become sober men and not visit ihe pablie house , and spend their earnings
to support the landlord and bis family , while their own families were starring . — Mr . Vincent then told the meeting that he was last night « t the Hall of Science , at Bradford , and a Budden flow of blood gnshed to his head , which obliged him to sit down ; ho felt it waa ' coming on him now . He had no sooner finished the sentence , than he fell back on the seat , and fainted . Ha shortly recorered . bat was rmable to proceed in his addies , The Chairman next called upon Mr . O'Brien , wfcoTn&de same exteUeut remarks , and Bat down amid great applause . A vote of thanks yns given to Messrs . Vincent and O'Brien , and also to the Chairman , when the meeting separated . The following evening ( Saturday ) , Mr . Yincent again lectured in the same room to a nnmerous audience . He also delivered two excellent sermons on Sunday to crowded assemblies .
Msrnxo . —The usual weekly meeting ot the Chartists of this town , took place on Monday evening last , Mr , Jones in tbs chair . Mr . T . B . Smith moved the adoption of the National Petition . Mr . J . Smith seconded it . The petition was unanimously adopted . It W 33 moved by Mr . Djxon , eeoonded by Mr . Boberts , " That thi 3 meeting pledges itself to use every means to get tfce petition si ^ nea as numerously as possible , " which was also carried . . Mr . Wilson , a stone mason , who has struck at the New Houses of Parliament , in a very able and interesting manner , explained the brutal and disgraceful coridact of Allen towards his men . His address elicited repeated berets of indigestion and disgust towards Allen .
He impressed upon his aadienoe the necessity of all After trades supporting them , as he believed that they had struck justly and honourably , and sat down amid much cheering . The Chairman then vacated his seat , and an operative stonemason was elected in his place , when resolutions , declaratory of their belief that the masons had acted as upright men , in reasting the arbitrary conduct of AUec , and that they pledged themselves to do all in their power to support them In their jnst demands , were adopted . A eomacttse of sixteen were app » 5 nted to carry out the object , and after thanks being voted to the Chairman , and an addition of twenty-three members being enrolled , the meeting broke up highly delighted .

—^^^ TO THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND , ENGLAND , AND IRELAND . Fbllow Ciubtists , —We , the undewlgned inhabitants of Aberdeen , being members of the " Aberdeen Charter Union , " regard it as a duty we no lew owe to Mr . O'Connor than to ourselves , to state what we believe to be the effect of his visit to our northern e | ty . Tola it the more necessary , in consequence of the dogmatical pertinacity of the Rev . Patrick Brew » ter and bis few friends to cram the Caltou Hill and Birmingham resolntiona down the throata of the people .
Flwt We regard the visit « f Mr . O'Connor to Aberdeen , and hi * triumphal recaption , as one of the greatest triumphs the Chartist caaso has obtained in this part of the eonntry , because Mr . O'Connor having long been adopted as the veritable friend and repreBentatlve of the working classes , his enemies aad the enemies of the sacred cauae of liberty were leagued to go there , in order to stop , if powible , any popular demonstration in testimony of out approval of bis conduct in the defence of our righta and the rights of mankind .
Secondly . Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Aberdeen has been signalised by a great accession of numbers to the Chartist c&ase . Many of the middle tosses , who weie formerly prejadiced against Chartism , by the eloqmst and powerful reasoning of Mr . O'Connor , have bad their pr « - judioes completely removed . Many who were callous and indifferent to the onward march of freedom , have had their energiM accelerated , mod an Impression has be « n generated in the public mind in favour of the Charter which will never be eradicated .
