BANBTJRY-—It baring been announced that -Mr . Stall wood would visit this borough , a large party awaited the arrival of Vigser ' s coach in the evening of the 8 th of March . On Mr . S . alighting at the Weavers' Arms Inn , Netrthorp , he was received with such demonstrations of applause that perfectly astounded his fellow passengers . The large room adjoining was filled to ovetflowing . On Mr . S . entering , he was again saluted ¦ wi th every demonstration of welcome . He addressed , f > w andteneo for upwards of an hour on the principles j of the Chaitsr . ATote at tiiMika to given to Mr . Cocheriil , the chairman . A deputation -was present j from the village of Shntford , who n quested Mr . Stall- j ¦ wo od " s services on the following evening . It was . also resolved that the Mayor be waited on and rt quested to '
grant the Town Hall for Thursday evening . The meet- j ing then broke up . The Matob . having granted the ¦ use of the Town ! Hall , and placards being issued announcing that Sir . j Stallwood , one of the elected representatives of the i people in the forthcoming Convention , would lecture ou i Class Legislation , its evils and then Temedy , at seven j o ' clock , the time appointed , tbe Hall tra > filJed t j overflowing . Mr . Cocheriil was called to the chair , and in a few neat and appropriate remarks introduced Mr Stall- ! ¦ wood , who , on rising , was greeted with loud and long j continued applause . He pointed ta the immense ,
unprecedented distress now prevailing throughout the , land ; to the mass of oppressive laws ; to oar miscalled , national debt ; to the ex cessive taxation ; t j the people J being called on to support in profusion , luxury , and splendour three Kings and three Queens , while great masses of the industrious people existed upon Jess than twopence per head per day ; showed that ¦ wa . were cursed -with monopoly in religion , monopoly of legislature , ic . He pulled to pieces the various allurements thrown out by the eleventh hour sympathisers , with a masterly hand , amidst the most enthusiast ! c plaudits of the audience , and clearly demonstittsd that the People ' s Charter was the only " complete suffrage , "' aud exhorted his aniience not to accept nor support , or encourage anything less than the whole Charter , deta'ls and all , which was responded to in a manner that must have convinced the most sceptical that the good den ; zens of j Banbury were " whole hog" men , and no nmtike ! Mr . S . concluded an address cf coasiderable length and ability , amidst rounds of applause . Opposition was invited but none given . A vote of thanks was then given to the Mayor for granting the use of the Hall ; also to the Chairman . Three enthusiastic cheers were then given lor Henry Vincent and Banbury ; three for Mr . Stall-¦ w ood ; tbree for Feargus O'Connor and . the Slar ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jones . —Banbury is determined on having Vincent for her representative at the next election . They have tiken thb requisite means ; their Electorial Association ia well organised ; and by continued exertions success will be certain .
SHTTTFORB— ( Oxos . )—This little village is about j five miles frem Banbury , and contains a population of . abont fcur hundred . The news of Mr . Stsllwoed ' s arrival rapidly spread through the village , and notwilhstand- ing the rain poured in torrent * , it appeared that the i ¦ who ' e a 5 ult population was present ! Hatfield House I never was so iu ' . L Mr . "Wrench was called to the chair , ; and brii 3 y introduced Mr . Stallwood amid great chetr- i ing . Mr . Stallwood lectured on the aspect of affairs ;; rivet-ing the attention of Ms audience for two h .-u .-s ; ; Teceivi- g tha frf queot approbation of his audience . ; Mr . Amos Wrench moved in a neat spf eeh ^ the following resolution , " That the evils we now labour under are to be traced to elas 3 legislation ; and the ocly means of their removal is in the enfranchisement of . * i * = - ^ fcolo > -np !« . in accordance "with the pijcciples ' , coBUmid in the People ' s Charter : -wo , iiu . * aiare , \ pledge ourselves to agitate for the same , until i t be : enacted as l 3 w . " One of the villagers , whose name we forgtt , seconded the resolution in a speech that did honour to his head and heart . It was carried unanimously . A Tots of thanks was given to the lecturer , : inii also to the chairnian , the meeting dissolved , elated , ¦ with their evening's labours . In this and the neigh- ; bouring villages , seventeen hundred sigu . tures have : been attached u » the great Xational Petition . At present they are not members of the National Caarter ' Association , fent wish to be so , having written to Mr . - Campbell , Executive Secretary , for cards ; bnt they j suppose from some mishap , Mr .

" s address ta the electors : — " If placed by you in Parliament , conceiving its . principles are equity to all , my first or foremost aim wculd be to advocate the adoption of the People ' s
Charter , the main points of which are Universal Suffrage , Aniuil Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , Payment of Members , No Property Qnalificatien , and Equal Electoral Districts , being persuaded the Parliamentary * doption of the six points of this Charter would , as a whole , incalculably bfnefit and bless , both temporarily and spiritually , the imperial kingdom of Great Britain and Irel and , would tend to the protection of property , the keeping up of public confidence and credit , and to the promotion of peace and order in- - 1 & 9 kingdom . " This is the man fur the people , let every nerve be ttxained to return him .
CARLISLE . —Public Lecture by Mr ; James BEOSIEB . K . S O'Bkies . —On Tuesday evening , March Sin , tlte aooTe-named gentleman delivered a most Interesting and instructive lecture on the necessity . of ali friends of the people , Corn Law Repealers , Socialists , Sepeal Unionists , it , sbandoning every other agjtation at the present crisis , in order to concentrat e their efforts towards tha attainment of the People ' s Charter . The iheatre , vrhieh had been taken for the occasion , was well filled in all parts cf the bouse , and numbers ¦ were unable to gain admittance . On Mr . O'Brien making his appearance , he w& 3 leudly cheered . Oa the motion of Mr . J . B- Hanson , seconded by Mr . J . Bsfeby , Mr . James Arthur , bookseller , was unanimously called ± o the chair . After making a few remarks ,
he introduced Mr . 0 "Brien , who was received with loud cheers and-clapping of hands , which continued for some time . After the applause had subsided , Mr . O'Brien said—My worthy friends of Carlisle , I am a poor , broken-down traveller , just come from Edinburgh . I have lately attended many public meetings , all " of which were crowded—Dundee , Arbroath , Montrose , Glasgow , Edinburgh , Paisley , Aberdeen , -Greenook . and several otter places , all of v hich were large meetings , with the exception of Donfermline , which is ridden by anti-Corn Lsw humbug ? . { Great cheering ) If othins ; could exceed the enthusiasm of the men of Scotland , and what ; s better t-tm , tfeey will not take bribes , though some of the leaders have tried haTd to get the people to backslide with theea ; but this they
canntt accomplish , so that our security i 3 in the ftedfastcess of the people . The moment the Chartists join the anti-Corn Law League , there is no . hope . If the anti-Corn Ltw party are sincere , why don't they come over to us ? The Charter would treat all alike . If then' would be any diff-rence , it wvuld be all in favour of . the middle and ir . ^ hfer classes . A rich man , for instance , -can perform a number of beneficent acts , which secures him respect fr-ora the people , ¦ who will lookapon him a « , a kind and b&sevoknt man who is &ExIou » to do good , so that the poople will endeas-our to strecg ; hen his htnds . If the wealthy will use their wealth in a justma-nner , they can have nothing to fe * r from the Charter ; but ihey know if we had tue power , we would soon destroy all corruption . The
Anti-Csrn Laif pasty are a par-eel of hypocrites , for they formerly contended tor the Balk * , but now they eay the Ballot is a mere detail , but surely you would -want it more ihan you do at present . Is there any security in a boity of men who will claim protection for themselves , asd will cot grant it to you ? I selemnly declare that we cannot advance one yard with the Anti-Corn Law party—without being destroyed and split up as a party . 1 see no ground that we should join thenv until they come over to the people . Indeed a change has already come over the spirit of their dream , for they are new beginning to treat yon with respect , though it is not until they see you are determined to command respect . They perceive that you value men only from their good acts , consequently they must make atonement lor what
they have done , before the people csn respect them . For these twenty-five wreks , i have , on an average been lecturing three hours daily , and . ^ T e t ^ 8 satiifaction if knowing I ha-re aised op a power that cannot easily be jmfc ^ down . When we have talked abouS Ihe Charter , they have said « Ah . ' you havs no property . " I have said bowlines it that these fellows have all the propelty , and you who make propwty valuable have aone ? It is because tee people have been dispose * sed of political power , which f they had retained , propej ty ¦ woul d nevsr have been distributed as it now is . There is no hope fox the middle classes , but by joining the people . You cannot conceive the alarm -which has been exhibited amosg the rwpectable class as they are

caV . ed , at the manner In which I have opened up the question of property ; and they say " Thia fallow O'Brien explains usury , exchanges , taxation , &c , and ho wishes to make the people believe that we , the respectable people , are robbers or receivers of stolen eooda , " and they look daggers at me as I walk along , because I have convinced the people of the folly of receiving the e old fashioned notions about property , and the jargon of cheap bread and free trade , ¦ which a certain class would still force down the people ' s throats : but it wont do now , the people are prepared to meet them . You neveT hear of a middle class man asking a poor , man to dine with him ; no ! they never bestow their f ivours on those who want them most . Why did they lock five hundred of us up in gaol , and drive
thousands of poor bnt industrious and honest men from their native country ? When this was done they should have then come out , for they thought then that they had completely destroyed you , and that you were all dead , but we have Bounded the trumpet of resurrection , and will soon have from three to four millions of signatures to the National Petition ! now they are frightened to death that we must only take the Charter , YnX God knows how much more . Do not bmtthe middle classes , nor believe that they will come to the people , except with the expectation of leadinc and deceiving them . But this will not do ; they may destroy the leaders , but they can never destroy the movement . There is a mass of intelligence abroad , which will withstand all their efforts . The
only way for the middle classes to do now , is to say to the peeple , " we have hitherto deceived you , but we will now go with you , and have new institutions , which will not allow certain classes to get property as they have hitherto done . " They charge me with being a destructive , but there never was a public man whose doctrines are so strictly conservative as mine are . I wish to leave to all men the privilege of retaining what they hive got , however dishonestly , bu ; I would take care , tbat they get no more in the same way , I have said , that while the landlords and others have increased their wealth forty f jld , I see no means of patting a stsp to that , but by allowing them the value of what they have got ; only giving us the hope that at theii death , the people should get their own . When I was
in Manchester with Vincent , two men came into the room where we were , and one said to the other , " why , that fellow , O'Brien , has got at large again" I " Aye , " said the ether " and a world cf mischuf he is doing" ! The fellows know well , that if you get into the habit of looking into abuse , the devil himself cannot Btop yon from going on . These men have never eomulted neither your feelings nor mine ; fien surely I may say a few hard words a ^ a icst them ; nor shall any power on eirth prevent me from making my fellow men fully acquainted with the cause of their sufferings , and the means of remedying them , which is , the adoption of the People ' s Charter . I was afraid that some might have been tampering with yon , and I warn you against giving ear to any man who would attempt to persuade you to abandon one single point of the Caarter If the middle classes are really in earnest , they will at once adopt the Charter , for it contains nothing that would ala m any honest man . If they are inclined to be honest , I , for one , would not be intolerant with them ; I would not attempt to inteif ^ re with theii private meetings ; but if they call a public meeting , then you should convince them that you are the best half of the meeting . You should not intamu ; 1 them , but stop and hear what they have to say ; you have a right to listen to humbug , for the law acknowledges it When Cnrtis ( tbe anti-Corn Law lecturer ] shows the treasures of the Mississippi ; if he consents to do so , it is because there is no law against it ; but if you think he should not humbng you . then you can stop away . Those interfering with meetings of thu kind , incur the opposition of many a good man , foi they say , if the Chartists break up such meetings , they might do many worse things . To return
taen to the middle classes , waat ought to be our policy now ? Why , as Chartists , we cannot unite with any party , but for the whole of the six points —( cries of bravo , and that ' s the point )—while we keep aloof from them , let us < remember , that it is only fair to give others the same liberty that we claim for ourselves ; or else they will say , " are you not interested in having things all your own way , far we are now for complete suffrage '' We say you have got the franchise , and we want it ; and what is to prevent you middle class to go with us ? for we can only give you our physical force . This will not do , for if we were to follow in jour train , by getting up the presrore from without , then they would leave us in the lurch . It is impossible they can be honest unless they join us for the Chaiter ; or else keep their agitation to their own class for complete suffrage ; bnt if they will try to bribe our leaders , their object is to break us up ; hence I denounce them as villains for wanting to destroy us . There are many circumstances which create my suspicion , as to the honesty of the new move . Why do they go among the leaders ? It is because they canust bribe the whole people , but m 3 y deceive the people by bribing ba'f a dozen of their leaders , which may weaken dttt strength . Is this tneir calculation ? I cannot search into men's hearts , but 1 have a right to infer , from their acts , that they are not honest . The moment a leader begins to talk a language , that we should give way . then I would Bay , " geod bye old boy , we have done with you . " They always apply to our leaders at some hole and corner place , and not openly , and in the presence of the people . When in Edinburgh , I saw a correspondence between the Anti-Cora law party and some of the Chartist leaders ; but I told the latter to have nothing to do with them . They urge the difference between us is so small , that it is not worth while to cavil about : then why do they cavil ? We wish to know what they mean by complete suffrage They say
it ought to be given to eTery man fit to use it . Their exceptions are greater than the general rule . They would consult Mr . Sharman Crawford , who is lying on a sick bed , so that had he died , the complete suffrage would have died with him , I suppose . O , they are as slippery as eels , and we mnst keep aloof from them , until they yield to the Charter Suffrage . There 1 b another ground of suspicion , and that is , they always mix up the question of the suffrage with a repeal of the corn laws , as if they were matters of tqual importance ; they say , " you muse sijjn our petitions , and we will sign yours . " But they are only thousands and we are mil ions ; so that by thus acting we would be carrying their measure . This is an abominable condition which we must never accept ; for it is evident they wish to
take us by surprse , and then they will leave us in the lurch . They have no faith in their own measures , and hive no ground for hope ; for it is a horrible delusion , and would add fifty per cent , to all money contracts . Taxation must come down , whether the Corn Laws are repealed or not . If they repeal the Com Laws , without other measures , then they wi 1 give fifty per cent , advantage to all the nionied interests , and all those with fixed salaries . Mr . O'Brien then dwelt at some length on the snbject of free trade , and showed , that while our foreign trade increased , just in proportion did the csmforts of the working man decrease , and if the Corn Laws were repealed , that we must produce as cheap as they do in France , >" apl . s , Prussia , and other countries , -where labour is cheap and taxes ligtt ; so
that -we -would be compelled to produce at a lower rate of wages . Besides , our home trade under such circumEtances would be destroyed . If the Repeal be good ( continned Mr . O'Brien ) , then it will be carried ¦ when we get the Charter , and not till then . Then why , in God ' s name , do the Repealers not go for ths whole Charter ? If I had the Repeal to-morrow , I would not have it on their termp . Were the Corn Laws repealed without other measures , we would soon have the agricultural labourers coping with the manufacturing labourers , and a pretty state of society we would have ! But these men cannot be sincere in this matter , for we have twenty grievances far greater than the Corn Laws . Mr . O'Brien here narrated a number of the most glaring grievances nnder which the people
laboured , . and proved that they were much more oppressive in their nature than the existing Cera Laws . If the Repealers ( continued Mr . O'Brien ) will come to us , I would receive them with open arms ; for if they were never honest before , this will be a proof that they are going to be bo now : " There is more joy over one sinner that rei-enteth . than over ninety and nine just persons who never went astray . " Let them cease to abnse your leaders , whom they darft not meet My friends , think -well on the subject , and teli the middleclass men that the only measure to work ont the general good is tbe Charter , and anything short of that will never take the people cut of the iron grasp of their oppressors , if a thief wants to set fire to my property , or to iteal it , he do ; . s rot begin operations ' by giving me warning-of wh 3 t he is . tbout to do . I have attended 139 meetiags since I cam * out of prison , and such have been my exertions lately that I am quite exhausted
, and at present very unfit to address you longer . Mr . O'Brien then retired amidst loud and continued cheering , which lasted for several moments . Mr . Arthur , Chairman , then invited any one to come forward and express hk opinions , er ^ ut any question to Mr . Q "Brier . Mr . Jotn Mooney wished to hear Mr . O'Brien ' s views on a repeal of the Ution . The latter gentleman explained , in . a manner which satisfied Mr . ilooney . In consequence -of some other ^ question , Mr . O'Srien entered into a beautiful and closer exposition of the various points of the Charter , and proved , to demonstration , that by giving up any portion , the efficacy of the whole would be destroyed . Mr . O'Brien spoke for nearly three hoars , and was listened to throughout wftb the most profound respect and attention . His lectures made a deep and lasting impression on the minds of all thinkiag men , and are well calculated to prevent their being misled by fallacious arguments , such as are practised by cunning and selfish
men . A Larg e Public Meeting was held in the Theatre on Saturday evening , when tke people were addressed by Messrs Marsden and Tattersall , who were on their return to Lancashire from Scotland . Mr . Marsden made a clever and impressive speech . He went into a lenrthy exposition of the mannf ^ curing syi-t ^ m , with which he seems to be most intimatrly and minutely acquainted . He eulogised Mr . FerranJ , M . P . for KnortEborougu , for the bold and fearless manner he had treugtt the abuses of the manifaeturing * ytt- ; m bef we the country , in his able speech in the Housa cf Common ? . Mr . Marsden then spoke on the subject ot the Corn LawB and other matters connected wiih tbe Wellbeing cf the working classes , and conc . u ed an excellent speech by calling on the people to stand by the Charier . Mr . Tattereall then addressed the meeting in a very eloquent and animated strain , which elicited considerable burst * of appl&u'e .
