TO FBARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . ( Continuedfrom oar latt .

t te g to remind you that if it is contemplated to destroy iB monopolies , * ' a fair day * wage for a , fair day ' s work " % false , ambiguous term , misunderstood by the naiest part , and should be simplified . If » " spade Jjar tbe called a tpaie , " give that its proper name ; ¥ ith a proper system , in Tiew , I am aware Universal SeSrtge would work to it , but I scarcely think tbis an be attained , while the many axe buoyed up by a filse defeove hope ; with this end in view , "Universal gofra ^ e is certain te lead to disappointment and ruin , b ehave heard enough concerning ur . just monopolies , kt , and are now taught to hate them to the heart ' s core ; but we have not been taught that ftar repeal would destroy the resources by wbish three-fourths ot taw population exist ; nor that
Jheir repeal , « the repeal © f the constitution ; and that Wore th&t can be effected , we mnst have another to SB its room . Had this side of the question been u —dl argued as the others , we had been in a fair way , lag , ere now ; but because the inflnpnfr- » i F in the Qurtist cause have been mute on the subject , the great tody , in opposition to their convictions and common wndsiee , not only overlook this most important of all post * , as being unnecessary , but shun those who do , as tkjr enemies , for fear of disturbing the Chartist em * forsooth ! In opposition to which , I say , if the Cfcirtift move is rightly consolidated , as inquiry of ffit « Bstare cannot disturb it , and if not , the sooner it a >arbed , and its errors rectified , the better . None as be blind te the fact , were the Charter attained fltk tost , much misunderstasding and confusion would gaoe even among Chartists themselves , from having bo well grounded ideas concerning what is necessary ita * with it to establish out freedom .

If osrrigbt to the franchise is good , so are all our other adifr ; as they all depend en one principle , not prinriJAss , aswe have been taugfet Another falsified "Whig axiom , not yet expunged by dartists , is , " fresh circumstances call for fresh legishfrre enactments , " and "it is presumption , and woe , to strike a lice ef demarcation at all , as imjsuTemeBt must go on .

cues time was . Place the line of demarcation at the sght point , and it will stand ; as human nature is not MAq to change , so the constitutional laws that arrer it win require ao alteration . Id opposition to it improvement-go-on-teust , I have to say , the fckiories of all the kingdoms of the earth have been lady the same ; they all spring up gradually to the aaopoMng system we are under ; but a very short SJiK brought that system to a stage beyond which it exM not pass , and , because the peopl e knew no other iptem to adopt , down they all tumbled one after Bother , and were no more heard of ; such has been Git fat £ of Idumea , Chaldea , Jodea , Greece , and Rome -, Kisach is the fste that awaits us &s next on the list , ifwt promptly averted .

grounds to suppose that they contemplate anything else . We have all along been told that the Charter is a core for every evil , yet , after all , I beg to be excused , when I tell you frankly , I doubt the truth of the assertion . As you are the first man in the Chartist movement , I bvre thought proper to call your attention to these mattaxt . II it was premature to consider these things before , now I certainly think not a moment more is to be lost : the die is now thrown that will try the merits of Chartism . All pusillanimous attempts At improvement will now be laid aside , and Chartism well understood and directed with prudeooe and energy , may very speedily lead to results , too important ami beneficifc ) to the human race , to be mooted in this painful and rather foreboding communication .
Finally , I beg to remind you it will not do , either with or without the Charter , to pull down the present system until another is propounded ; nor will the franchise ever be purified while that system exists . What is to fce done must In the 2 rst place be understood . You are wrong if yoa suppose yon can drive the people of this country from one system to another , like a parcel Ol sheep . Say , then , what is to be the order of the day . Maithusir . nism or not ? monopoly , or not monopoly 1 cooperation , or competition ? justice , or injustice ? What system is to be ours ? Is it any of those already in existence , or one not yet propounded ? A system we must have—not like Chartism , which is only a section of a system , but one perfect and complete , embracing an the arrangements of society . This much is
necessary , if justice shall role and peace be the result ; and , for the satisfaction of all parties , that none may be taken nnawares concerning the results of Universal Suffrage , and for the promotion of the Chartist cause , that it may be discussed , understood , and agreed upon , after which let the franchise come by Itself , or along with the other parts of its kindred system ( which I have good reason to beliere will at last be the case ;) either "ay the end will be certain and salutary . These things attended to , in the meantime , will do more for Char tism than a petition with tke names ef tan millions of Britain ' s sons adhibiUdthereto . I have the honour to be , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Chabxes D ^^• CA ^ . Cannon-street , Cannon Mills , Edinbro * , Uorember 22 d , 1841 .

THE STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . TO THE ED 1 T 6 H OP THB NOHTHE&N STAB . Sib , —As the circumstances of my misfortune at the new Houses ot Parliament have been taken up by the m&sons , and as Mr . Allen , in denying the charges made against him , has thought fit to deny mine amongst the rest , I consider it my dnty , in justice to the masons and myself , to give to Ihe public a true statement of the case , On the 13 th of February last , I was ascending a ladder with a stone in my arms , and when about te step
from the ladder to the scaffold one of the poles gave way failing against me , I fell to the ground , and haa my leg broken ; I w& 3 carried to tbe Westminster Infirmary on a hand-bMTOW . At the end of fourteea weeks I retained to ths works , having so far recovered , I thought should be able to resume my employment , and considering I had received my injury on the works , and being then lame , I hoped some sympathy would t > ' : shewn towards me if I could not perform my duties with the same alacrity I used to do before I received mj accident
On the fifth day , aa I was dragging a heaTy chain at the river front , George Alien , tbe foreman , came to me and said , " Why the h—1 don't yon quicken along with that chain ? " I told him I was not able to perform my work with the same ability that I could before I received the accident ; be then called me a d—d lame cripple , and said that I was no use there . I replied , I was doing the best I could , and reminded him tint I reoerred my lameness on the -worfcs . Allen then " d—d my eyes , " aad bade me be off ihe ground immediately . I said I would inform Mr . Peto huw ill he had used
me . Allen said if I was not off immediately he would kick me , using the same abusive language as before . I then went to the pay-clerk , and told him of the usage had received from Allen , and asked him to give me the money that was doe to me . While I was standing at the office Allen again came round , and with a flood of Bwearing called me " a d—4 lame cripple ; " and 6 aid if I was not off the ground immediately he would send for a policeman to take me off . I then left the works , and went to Mr . Chappie , Mr . Cnbitfs foreman , who , after hearing the usage I bad received from Allen , immediately gave me employment .
I have not been in the employment of Messrs . GrisseU and Peto since , as stated both by them and Allan , neither have I been able to make anything like full time since I received that accident ; this can be proved by Mr . Chappie , foreman to Mr . Cubitt , likewise by Mr . Irvine at Mr . Winsland ' s , both of wfcom have been most indulgent to me since I was discharged by Gsorge Allen . I am at present unable to work from the effects of the accident ; my ancle swells , and ia attended with extreme pain , BO that 1 am compelled to keep to say bed generally three days a week , and am now confined to my bed through the accident which I received while employed at the new Houses of Parliament by Messrs Grissell and Peto , under the superintendence of George Allen .

TO THE RADICALS OF ASHTOX-UNTXRRLTNE . Fkiends a * d Fellow Towssmex , —In consequence of an appeal being made by Feargua O . Connor , to those on whose behalf my friend ITDouall baa suffered , I address this letter to yon . It has long been a wish of mine that Dr . M'Donall vroaid locate himself somewhere in the neighbourhood of M&achester , an £ folioff his profession , but CirCUIDstances of a pecuniary n&tore have hitherto prevented him . Our patriotic and truly philanthropic advocate Mr . O'Connor has undertaken " to raise a loan of one hundred pounds" to establish him in his profession at Manchester .
At the time cur agitation commenced for the Charier , he tra liring ia Ramsbottom , and in professional ian ^ uage . Was in " excellent practice , " bnt his extreme political opinions being hostile to the only manufacturer of note in that place , ( and who had antecedent to his taking up the peopie ' s cause , been his friend and patron ; of course did all he could to injure him in his profession , and he succeeded but too WfclL - His barning zeal in the cause of human regeneration , brought him before the notice of the R&dic- 'ls Of this
town , and be was accordingly elecud to Berve in the first Convention , which he did till it broke up , the greatest part of tfcs time without rtceiving a penny froui Ashton or anywhere eisn . With or without pay he slackened not in his energy ft-r tbe public cauae , and although his all has been spent , he is still with you and for you . While some few were reaping a golden harrest , by appealing to the passions and superstitions of their hearers , he , the poor and fanatically maligned honest iittle fellow , was spending his time and his fortune .
And shall v .-e , tke men of Ashton , see him and those who are endeared to him by every tie of human and divine , sink beneath the crutl goze of the doubleheaded monster , poTerty and want ? I know that in spite of a factious and miserably deluded opposition , the majority of my fellow-townsmen will answer " no ! if my mi ' -e can relieve him and his , poor though we be , "We trill assist him . " A letter appeared a few months ago in the Star , signed A Sincere Chartist , " and nothing but the contempt I bad for the assassin in disguise , could have preveirted me from answering it at the time . It would
have " passed by Hie like the idle winds , which I respect not , " but as I atn writing on behalf of the indi-Tidcai tyfcom be secretly attacked , whom he mentioned " affected to belong to some of the learned professions , " I could not help noticing tliat portion of his letter which assailed a man , whose public and private conduct are as exalted as tbe ether's U contemptibla This Billingsgate is two wtll kno" ^ n , even under an anonymous signature , to * scope the detection of those who know him , but my excellent frienri M'Doaall is too dearly entwined round the innermost are ct the majority of those who Know him to suffer tbB least injury from such puny and jealooa attack * .
In-conclusion , fellow townsmen , I have but to ask that which I have every reason to believe will be granted pardon for intruding on you at the present time , but whenever 1 see silent , suffering worth , By heart Iean 3 towards and bleeds for it with the eame devotion that yours will , for him on whose behalf bare thus , unknown to any but myself , made this appeal . I remain , fellow townsmen , Yours sincerely , In the cause of justice and humanity , W . AITKIN .

commenced a Joint Stock Company , by means of which , they intend , under the blessing of Providence , to accomplish the following ; tHMBCTS ! i » t . To secure the independence of the members , by the formation of a fond derived from tbe profits arising from the sale of various articles of general consumption . Sad . To provide employment for such members of the Company ss maybe out of work , as far as that may be practicable , and at the same time , to secure tO the pnbllft , ft , good asrtiele at a reasonable cost .
3 rd . To allow the profits of every , kind of stock to accumulate until sufficient capital is obtained to purchase land and machinery , to be built upon , cultivated , and employed for the general and equal benefit of the whole ; and also to erect and endow a school , in which erery branch of human knowledge shall be taught to the children , male and female , « f trerj shareholder . 4 th . To provide for tbe sick and aged , so as to preclude the necessity of any application for parochial relief , and at the same time securing the independence of each member , by giving him ot her a bonafifo claim upon the superannuated members' fond , after a given number of years , without reference either to age or circumstance * The means by which they propose to accomplish these noble objects
are—1 st . The money arising from tbe sale of shares , the value of which and the mode of payment shall b » as follows : —All persons becoming shareholders daring the first three months , commencing November 6 , 1841 , are to pay thirteen shillings and sixpence per Bhare , that is one shilling an the night of entrance , and threepence per week for the ensuing twelve months , the weekly payments are to be made on Saturday evenings , and any member neglecting to pay for one month will be fined threepecce , and threepence for each succeeding month . If he neglects six months without giving to the directors a satisfactory reason for so doing , he will be excluded ,
and half tbe money he haa paid in will be xerfoited . Any person entering during the three months most pay up bis arrears by an additional threepence per week upon each share he holds . After three months the value of the stock will be calculated , and divided according to the existing number of shares taken , and tbe price at which they shall be taken during tbe ensuing three months , will be determined on . After six months a new oalculation of the value of shares will be made , and the price for the remainder of the year will be resolved on , after which the valuation of shares and their price will be determined annually .
2 nd . Tbe accumulation of profits arising from the various articles of consumption sold in the store or stores » f the company . 3 rd . The application of 20 per cent of the profits to one or more branches of lucrative industry , the profits arising from the said branch or branches of trade to be after a certain time , not exceeding ten years , invested in the best kind of security in land or buildings , which can be obtained , the rents and other emoluments to accumulate during an additional term of ten yean , and at the termination of two and twenty years , from the 6 th day of Norember , 1841 , the annual income to bo called the superannuated member fund , shall be dirided in eqnitabl-3 proportions amongst the shareholders of 22 years standing ; securing to the families of deceased members their fair proportion , according to the time which the original shareholder had been a menber . If the share is still retained in the family , the person holding it will , of course , stand as the original shareholder .
Members may hold five shares , but not more ; and , in order to secure the perfect equality ultimately of all tbe members , it has been r ^ solvsd that eyerj one ehals purchase five shares ; and , in order to maet the circumstances of those who cannot deposit 5 s . at the outset , and is . 3 d . weekly , the following plan has been adopted : —Each share ia to be secured by the deposit of Is . and the payment of threepence per week until the price of the share is paid up . All who enter before the 1 st of February , 1812 , will have their shares at 13 B . $ d . with the option ot liking up one share annually upon the payment of 2 s . additional per share . The property of the Company will be invested in the hands of three trustees , chosen by the general body , and its affairs will be managed by a treasurer , secretary , store-keeper , agent , and nine directors , five of whom will be taken as they stand upon the books , and four will be elected by a general meeting ; half of the electors will retire every half year , but may be re-elected . Every member is required to sign the following declaration : —
I , A B , do hereby pledge myself t « do all in my power to promote tbe prosperity of the Hunslet Friendly Trading Society ; and I will , as far as practicable , pnrehase all my necessary articles of consumption at its stores . A body of efficient laws has been adopted .

AN ADDRESS TO THE ABTIZANS , MINERS , AND AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS OF THE BOROUGH OF HELSTON . BEETHBEN IN POLITICAL BONDAGE , —The time is at last come when It behoves yon , and every lover of yoar country , to stand forward aud aid in rescuing ths land of your birth from degradation and ruin—a nation that could ence boast of being " the admiration of the world and the envy of surrounding nations , " is rapidly on the decline , and threatens shortly to become like Tyre , Sidon , Carthage , Babylon , and Rome , known only in name . Nature has so bounteously bestowed her gifts upon and around our Island , that it embraces within itself every requisite for National greatness , with a population proverbial for their industry , and
surpassed by none beneath the vault of heaven for bravery and skill ; yet we find ourselves surrounded by poverty , destitution , and distress , to an extent unparalleled in the annals of the British history . Capital finds littlo or no profit , and labour no reward . Our merchants and manufacturers are on the brink of ruin , and are daily becoming bankrupts . The streets of our manufacturing towns are filled with half-starved , unemployed mechanics , whose care-worn countenances at once bespeak their wretched condition ; subjected to . such distress they wander v ? ith hat in hand , forgetting that they are men croachiDg like spaniels at thy feet of their tyrant lords . They ask leave to work that they may live , but are denied . Thousands of our best artizans and mechanics are forced from Albion ' s fertile shores to seek
in other climes that which unjust legislators have deprived them of in their own ; tbo&e who , from love of country , cling to their native soil , driven to tbe last cursed alternative of allowing themselves to be entombed alive in the Whig baat ;!^ , where the husband is separated from the wife of hvs bosoui , who is as near to him as the sovereign of thesa realms is to the heart of her royal consort—the wife is taken from him tvhose delight it was to solace her in affliction and distress , and who vowed at the sacred altv to be her protector through life . Children , those pledges of connubial love , are torn from the affectionate embraces of both ; thus bursting asunder every tie of nature , and grossly outraging every feeling of humanity . Those are among the least of the evils wo Buftcr under class legislation .
Brethren , our evils are increasing and will still continue to increase while we are iike serfs and slaves , forced to obey laws , we hava no voice in making . But the present corrupt system must shortly vanish before a nation ' s will , and a government formed on the philanthropic principles of democracy will be raised on the ruins . It is because -we -wished to work with the materials of our ancient constitution and divert ourselves of the shackles which the two vile factions are riviting , by their every action , more closely to our shoulders , that we have been denounced as revolutionists , levellers , and iiifi'ieis ; bat we hurl the foul calumny io the teeth of our calumniators , and defy them to prove what they have had tbo unblushing effrontery to assert . Rather than see our country engaged in bloody revolution , we would
allow -our oppressors to sway their fiend-like sceptre of tyranny over the producers of their comforts , till death bid ns quit the stage of action , and mingle with our fellow-clay . Those who have been pleased to stigmatize us with the name of levellers , are knavish designing politicians , -whose object in so so doing was to thiow the veil ef prejudice befoie the eyos of tbe middle classes , and thus effect a desperation which would allow them to maintain a little longer their usurped authority . Middle clws men , we covet not your property , but we wish that property which we boast of as being the gift of nature , and which is in our blood and sinews , should be fairly represented . Bat they have dared to brand ns with tbe name of Infidel ; but tbis word , -which in former days used to
act as magic on the minds of their dupes has k * t its charm ; bnt we could , ye sanctified hypocrites of a Church , that coeta the country annually uica millions and a half for its support , we could unfold a tale of your horrid deeds that would make the blo : 'd of tverj sincere Christian become stagnant in bis vcics at i . ' perusal ; but , contrary to you , we render good for evil , and refrain from drawing aside the curtrin that hides your infamy , and tell you that we are politicians , but not Infidels—we are Christians , but not bigots . Brethren , we have bad e- ? ery party to contend with , from the middle class to the Crown but the middle class are fast joining in the struggle of right against might , and the tide of Democracy has begun to flow , and in opposition to the combined efforts of the two factions it will , like tbe billows « f the mighty ocean ,
roll onward in the plenitude of its strength till it has swept every remaining vestige of corruption from the shores of Britain . More than two milJious of our countrymen have declared with a voice that is not to be misunderstood , that they wiil so longer wear the fetters of uespots . And will you look tamely on while so many patriots are battling for freedom ? If you do , you deserve not the name of Cornishmen . There is a noble band of patriots in this borough who have nailed their colour j to the mast , and will stand the hJMard of the die , aod this appeal will , it mast , be responded to , by yonr coming forward and enrolling yourselves members of the National Charter Association , and showing that the patriotic spirits that fired the breasts of yonr bravo sires is transmuted to yoa , and that yon still ciing to you ancient admirable

CARLISLE— -At the meeting of tbe council en Saturday , Mr . John Armstrong in the chair , it was resolved that copies of tha National Petition , and also sheets for signature , be ordered immediately , through Mr . Arthur , bookseller ; and that the most active means be resorted to , for the purpose of procuring signatures . We have no doubt but a great number of signatures will be obtained , aa the National Petition is a document that very few will object to sign , more especially in the present state of trade , for nearly allctassei depending on labour , are more or less affected from the great depression which now exists . In addition to the extreme low state of wages , work is very scarce in all departments of business . Several of the public works have been working short time ; and , where this is not the case , the masters
have been reducing the number ot hands ; so that many have been thrown out of employment . Provisions are very high in price , and how the winter will be got over , we know not ; for the wretched poor are already starving in all directions . There was a ball on Tuesday evening last , the proceeds of which , after all expences are paid , were to go to some charitable purpose ; but what avails the casual hand of eh&rity , when such general distress prevails ? What mockery ! to commemorate the birth of a Prince , by music and dancing , while the -walls of misery and starvation are heard in every street and lane throughout tbe city . The conduct ot th « parties getting up this piece of foolery to commemorate the birth of a Prince ,
contrasts strangely with the benevolent conduct of G . H . Head , Esq ., banker , in tbis city , who , » few days ago , gave orders that the whole of the paupers in the three different workhouses , also all the prisoners in the gnol—debtors included , should be regaled with roast beef and plumb pudding!—which they had , ( to the number of some hundreds ) in very great abundance . Tbis is what we would call real and substantial charity , as compared with the silly buffoonery of a ball room < We trust our present worthy Mayor , Q . Q . Mounsey , Esq ., will take immediate steps to get up a public subscription , for tbe purpose of relieving the shocking distress which at present prevails . —Correspondent .
Lectures in the Council-room op the Charteb association . —We feel great pleasure in stating , that several valuable and instructive lectures have been delivered in thu above place , by Mr . John Armstrong , chairman of the association , after which collections have been made in aid of tbe funds . These lectures havtf led to the establishment of a debating society , at which questions of public importance will be weekly discussed . There is no charge made for admittance , but collections will be made , after each discussion has closed , in aid of the funds . We consider such a society calculated to do much good , If properly conducted , aad may be tbe means of bringing out young men as public speakers and advocates for the Charter , who might , under other circumstances , have remained in comparative obscurity .
NORWICH . —Defeat of the " Plague . "—Some unforeseen circumstance has of late made converts of the leading Socialists of this town to tbe Corn Law Repeal . In consequence thereof , they challenged all opponents to discuss its merits . The Chartists accepted the invitation , and on Wednesday , Nov . 17 th , each party met in the Social Room , and the discussion proceeded until a late hour , when it was adjourned till the following Wednesday . The meeting was then numerously attended , and the Repealers were assisted by Whigs of the first water . Each speaker was allowed fifteen minutes , and during the early part of the discussion all was orderly and peaceable ; but the Repealers finding themselves unable to palm thfl delusion upon the people , became warm ,
and , as ia too often the case with parties attemping te lead tbe intelligent astray , they treated their hearers with unbecoming language , telling them it was aa act of tyranny for a majority to hold in subjection a virtuous minority , and that if tbey had ouly ten Socialists in the room , they would discuss the question with ten thousand opponents . This insult was received by the meeting as an evidence of failure , and a strong disposition waa shown not te hear them . A resolution was then moved , expressive of sufficient evidence having been given , that to Repeal the Corn Laws , wishout accompanying it with those measures detailed iu the People ' s Charter , would not restore comfort or contentment to the people . Mr . Clark , the Social missionary , warmly opposed tho resolution ,
stating be had been taking notes all the evening , and be had a right to speak , but the meeting being disposed to carry the resolution , Mr . Goat , tbe Chartist Secretary came forward and moved , as an amendment , " That Mr . Clark be allowed fifteen minutes to speak , and himself as many to answer him , " Whictl being put from tbe Chair , was carried without opposition . Mr . Clark then addressed the meeting with great rapidity , endeavouring to show , that by a Repeal of the Corn Laws , bread would become cheap , labour plentiful , and thus might we gain comparative comfort . Mr . Goat , in answer , observed , that Mr . Clark bad many times told his hearers that the soil of Great Britain and Ireland was more than sufficient to supply the wants of her Inhabitants ; as such there could be no
need of foreign corn . He had also said , that we have a producing power more than sufficient to supply the world ,- if so , from whence was trade to come to employ tbis vast amount of machinery , aad the other also , to restore this comparative comfort . He said we had too much trade at tho present day ; if halt' the trade were well-directed we should have enough to make all comfortable . But to direct trade so as to benefit the working man , the people must have a power in legislation , and then they might repeal the C m Liws , or any other offensive Jaws . Those remarks determined many favourable to repeal to desert it , ami seek the Charter . The motion was then put , and a forest of hands held up in its favour ; in fact it was nearly unanimously carried . The meeting then broke
up . ABEHGAV £ : > mY . —Sir . George Biack , of Nottingham , lectured here on Friday last . Mr . Ingram , vir . Griffith , and Mr . Divid Jonathan , alao addressed tba meeting . The whole gave the greatest satisfaction . The roani was crowded . Mr . Black has lectured here before , and haa givvn great satisfaction ; he ia a warm advocate in the cause . COV ^ KTHY . —The people of this town , have been favourid with a visit from ihu indefatigable champion of the rights of labour , J . iinea Brontrre O'Brien . The " scbooiHiaster , " consorted to deliver two lectures on Wednesday and Thursday ovenings last ; subjects , the " High s of Labour , Suffrage , &c" Tho moment it was made known , a tow of tae ' schoolmaster ' s"
tliscipk 8 iiut t )* o'ner and determined to welcome his appearance in Coventry , by a public supper on Wednesday evening , ticltota Is . each about thirty good men and true sat dowa to a go . ; d substantial repatt , consisting of roast beef , afttr discussing tbe good things of thia life , and tbe cloth b-ing removed , eeveral tjaats was given from tUa chair , when it wa 3 time for Mr . O'Brien to commence lecturing ; tbe company then immediately retired to tbe large room , occupied by tho Socialists , who kindly granted tliu use of the same to the Chartists for tba lectures . TJie room was ¦ well filled . Mr . Mahon was unanimously vot-ed to the chair ; ha made a few appropriate remarks , and called upon Mr . Joseph Petard to rea « l an address to Mr . O'Bri « n . Mr . Peters then mounted the plutforKi , and read a short address ,
complimenting the " siihoolmastsr" for th « great services be bad rendered tbe c iiiee of democracy . Mr . Samuel Kuigbt then proposed that the meeting adopt the addrtss ns taeir own ; seconded by Mr . Thomas Marshall . Tflo Grmirntan then called for a show of hands ; tbe cr . il was responded to by n forest of bli ^ tared hands . The contrary—not one single band . ( Loud clapping followed the announcement , that the address waa carried ) Mr . O'Brien then rose , and was received with vociferous cheering . Ue commenced by saying that his health would not permit him to address them as he couid wish , but he would endeavour to make them all understand . He had had splendid meetings at most of ths places he attended tor the purpose of lecturing , with tho exception of Bury ; that was chiefly owing to the
( liflMon between the friends ot O'Connor and Dr . F ; etcber ; but a bett * spirit was growing up amongst i be people of that place . He then entered at great length into tbe distress endured by the labouring and manufacturing population of Great Btitiin ; he contrasted the wages of tbe present time t j those received by our forefathers , showing how the wcrkiDg classes of society was robbed without their will or consent ; he showed to t ie meeting , by irrefragable proofs and demonstrancss , that the Charter was the only means by which they could work out their political and social emancipation . Mr . O'Brien then expatiated , ot great length , on the necessity of the people signing tbe National Petition ; he then said he was willing to answer any question that any person pleased to ask ; he stated that he' would enter more into detail hereafter
On the following evening , ( Thursday ) , Mr . David Buckuty was called to the chair . After a few observations , he called upon Mr . O'Brien , who appeared in much better health tban on tbe previous evening . He was loudly applauded ou rising to speak . He comlwenctd by showing that the Interests ot tbe middle classes waa not identical with those of the working classes . The object of the raiddla class was to get labour cheap and sell i t dear , whilst the object of tba working man -was to get as much for his labour as he possibiy could . He traced ali the evils of society to tbe accursed usury laws , showing how they operated on society . He then pointed out , in a most masterly manner , the only means left to the toiling and indnstarous millions to remove the load of misery and wretchedness under which they groaned , which was to

adopt the plan ot Mr . Feargus Ottonaor , by placing them on tbe land and throwing them oa their " own resource * . " He spoke nearly three hours in one continued strain of eloquence , showing that if happiness is to be the lot of the minions , the millions must accomplish it themselves . He then stated , as before , that he was willing to answer any questions pat to him . Some discussion then ensued between Mr . O'Brien and some thick-baaded middle-class man , whose brains seemed to be wool-gathering , relative to tbe letting ot the land . Tbe lecturer then repeated the assertions made us ? of in
his lecture , that his plan would not deprive any of the landed , proprietors qt one farthing . Several questions were asked ^ . and the discussion kept up to a late hour . Mr . Peters then rose to move that the thanks of the meeting be given to dr . O'Brien for the many great and valuable services rendered to the cause of Democracy , which was seconded by Mr . Richard Hartopp . The Chairman then put the question , which was carried witb overwhelming applause . £ 2 98 . lfld . was collected at the door . A few friends came the distance of seven miles from Brinklow each night to hear Mr . O . B . All parties seemed highly satisfied with both lectures .
BERRY BRO W , —On Monday , s meeting was held in the Berry Brow School room , Mr . William Wood in the chair , to bear Mr . F . B Lees , of Leeds , the teetotal advocate , gave an address on the principles of Chartism . Tbe room -was full consisting Of ChartSBtfl , Tories , and Whigs . Tbe lecturer gave the latter their true character , and concluded his address by exhorting his hearers to temperance , knowledge and union . A vote ef thanks were given to the lecturer and chairman , and three cheers for the Charter . An association is forming here , and we hope erelong , to be able to join tbe National Move . tAKBLE 7 .-The Chartists here bare joined the National Charter Association . They have sent as their nominations of Councillors , but having gives us no trades nor residences , we do not print them .
NOTTINGHAM . —The usnal weekly meeting of the Chartists was held in the Democratic Chapel , on Monday evening , Nov . 2 ytb , Mr . Jacob Bostock was called to the chair . Tbe following resolution was passed : — " That In the opinion of this meeting , Mr . Q . Black , from over zeal in the causa of democracy , gave utterance to a few sentences , at Sheffield , which were indiscreet , notwithstanding which tbis meeting has full confidence in - his political integrity and sincerity- " The following resolution was carried the same evening , at the meeting of Chartists , held at tbe King George on Horseback : —That this meeting is of opinion , that tbe language used by Mr . George Black ,
at Sheffield , as reported in the Northern Star , was rather intemperate , and ought not to have been us * d ; but this meeting has the most unbounded confidence in the honesty and integrity of Mr . Black , and beiieve a niora consistent democrat does not exist . " A committee was also formed , in the Demoeru tic Chapel , to superintend the National Petition , in obtaining signatures , &o A committee was also appointed for more effectually agitating the town , in districts , and for waiting on the various trade committees , and to solicit their co-operation in tbe great movement . Mr . Cornelius Fawkes , a Working man , gave a most impressive address at the conclusion of the business . Some new members also enrolled their names .
BRISTOL . —On Monday evening another ticket meeting was called to hear an Anti-Corn Law lecture from Mr . Brown . Great care was taken in the distribution to friends of the league ; notwithstanding which , a considerable number of Chartists gained admission . The lecturer was frequently interrupted with exclamations of impatience and distent during tho progress of his lecture . When he had concluded , Mr . Clifton , a Chartist , arose to make a few observations on the many fallacies he had advanced , when tho "respectables" on the platform began hooting and yelling like beasts and reptiles ; the Chartists cheering . Mr . ; Simeon next rose on tho platform , when a posse of polios were marched in at the back door upon the platform . A dozen disorderly
gentlemen pointed to the Chartist speakers , and gavo them iu charge ; but for what I know not , unless it was because they did not yell so loudly as tbo " gentlemen . " These worthies , however , took tho ^ Christian " course of hearing uone but their own side , and of handing over their opponents to the blue devils . When iho Whigs were opposing and upsetting Tory meetings by amendments , the course was quite right , but now the case is altered . The working classes having dared to follow the Whig course , and move amendments ai Whig meetings , and challenge Whig spciters to discussion , ( 0 , very wrong !) the liberal Whigs have discovered a new doctrine for public meetings aud lectures . It is , that the public should
listen , not reply ; bold up their hands , but not more amendments . However , in tnis case , the preachers and blue devils wt re disappointed , for the Chartists dragged their two speakers from tho platform into the body of the room . Your humble reporter was noxt pointed out as one of them , and got pushed off the platform by the tender hands of the said corn law police . The big-loaf-mouthers and bludgeoninca held possession of the platform , and were wellshowered with the jurt indignation of the Chartists , who gave three cheors for the Charter , three for O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and , after discussing iu numerous groups tbe subject of repeal , with tha dupes of the plague , each wended his way home . —Correspondent .
DFPTPORD . —At the Surry Council meeting on Sunday last , after tho transaction of local business , it was resolved : — " That it ia request ? tl of the various localities to come forward immediately to support the Executive , in every possible way they can . " After other business relating to the localities , che meeting adjourned to the Horn's Tavern on Sunday next , ( to-morrow ;) the chair to be taken at Laif-paat four o ' clock , when it is requested that each delegate should attend , as the plan for a dis ; rict council , as recommeuded by the Executive , will be taken into consideration .
Old Basfobd . —On Saturday , Nov . 27 th , Mr . W . D . Taylor delivered a lecture , in a school-room , at Oid Boston ] , on tho repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws , and the probability of the People ' s Charter being first enacted , their relative merits , and benefit to tbe people , Mr . Russell in the chair , who opened the meeting by inviting discussion , or reply , on the subject of the lecture . Somu middle-class religious i-aen , Corn Law repealers , made several attempts to put the meeting in confusiou , when the chairmau interfered , and stated that if any further confusion waa created by tho 39 parties , he should fed it bb duty to call on a constable and prefer charges against them ; all then passed oii ' quietly .
BURTOK-O ^ -TRENT . —On Thursday week , Mr . Bairatow delivered a stirring lecture ia the Cbarti 3 tB * Boom , at Mr . Philip Tyzack ' s , High-street , and on Friday evening , at Swadlingcote , in their room , and on Saturday evening , at Burton , to large congregations . On Sunday mornicg , the Chartists of iJurtou paid their second visit to the only poor man ' s church , in Need wood Forest , accompanied by our able lecturer , Mr . Bairsto w . The text was taken from the 13 th chapter of Komans , and the 10 th verse . The words are— "Love workethnoill to his
neighbour , therefore love is tho fulfilling of the law . " AjU came homo highly delighted , aud intend to visit the poor man ' s church again on the 12 th of December , aud fill many of the empty seats . We hope the working men of Burton will muster that day , and do honour to the only poor man's church . Oa Sunday evening , Mr . Bairstow preached a sermon in our room , to a very large congregation ; bis toxc was taken from the 22 ad chapter of Ezekiol , 23 rd and seven following verses . This sermon , wo believe , hua done immense good in Burton , together with his lectures .
CORNWALL . —Mr . Powell lectured during the past week , on Monday , on Castle Hill , Truro ; on Wednesday , at tho Market House , St . Columb's j and on Thursday , at Padstow , a small sea-porttown , that never before was visited by such a iecturer . Having convened a meeting , and a good one it wa-s , Mr . Powell explained the Charter , whjn , in the course of whicti , a tall , slight , saintly , long-faced " local" created much merriment in the great assembly , by heaviug many a heavy sigh and diBmal moans , and then at once interrupted the lecturer , by calling the attention of those near him , and plaintively requesting them not to notice the mau who would thus seek to destroy the happiness of society by revolution , remarking that patience would be the only
means to remedy evils , if auy—that patience exalted a nation , and the evils we experienced where bubbles , and that "the powers that be" were ordained of God . Mr . Powell commenced dissecting these sentiments in such a style as caused the whole crowd to join in one continued rear of laughter , putting to flight the time-serving , pulpit-hunting man of any party . Having touched on tho blessings of the Poor Law , where five wc / naon bad to give birth to infants in two beds , reminding them that the " rural blues" were to . force obedience , ho contrasted the people ' s condition with the Queen's Household , and urged down the execration of the muititude upon the poor , sleek-faced , hypocrite Methodist , who , to make the matter worseowned that the poor man ' s means
, were low , but that they should wait for a Moses who if th ey prayed unto God would tome as a deliverer of the nation . Next day , Friday , having repaired to Wadehridge , where the men are up to the mark , they and previously called the meeting for the evening , ai the large room , at the Commercial Inn , which was numerously and respectably attended by lawyers , doctors , and such like , many waiting to catch the sound of Chartism as it reached the outer part of the bnilding , many too went away reluctantly at the conclusion of the lecture . Another religionist attacked him . but in a more mild and conciliatory
manner , partially approving of the means likely to redress the grievances of the poor . Several new members enrolled . A debating society was formed , which bids fair to produce some good speakers . Mr . Powell said that he had received a letter from Truro , informing him that Mr . O'Connor would shortly after Christmas visit them , having it through the highest authority , the Executive . This for a moment created a dead silence , as if to , one and all raise , their voioea to the highest pitch , and such a cheer never was heard in the town of Wadebridge . Thus ended another of the many-spirit stirring meetings of Cornwall .
