Sttufjr i hXP , ( From our otm Correspondent . J THK NATIONAL PeIITIOS . —Sl ' GS 1 SlG > ' ! SlGS : — The Convention have fifed the 2 nd of May for the day on which the petition is to be presented ] thus allowing an extension of time to procure signatures ; it therefore behoves the Chartists of Sheffield to make an effort to render the number of signatures sent from Sheffield worthy of the importance of the town . An additional quantity of paper has been procured , and it ia expected that every member of the Association will lend his aid to obtain the signatures of Ms townsmen- All sheets must be returned to Sir . G . J . Harney , No . 11 , Bartshead , on or before Thursday next , as the whole must be forwarded to London on Friday , the 29 th . —By order of the Council .
Sixum . Holbebjlt . —We feel extreme regret in baring to state that Mrs . Hoiberry has ihia week received a letter from her patriotic husband , informing hex that he is extremely ill—we believe confined , or nearly so—to his prison bed . Can nothing be done to safe poor Hoiberry , and the other Victims of despotism from further ' suffering ? Why do not the philanthropic Srorgiies lend a helping hand to BiTe from farther misery the men who brought into active life the ' principles' those ' philanthropists ' lave adopted ? But we forgot—poor Hoiberry , we suppose , was not a * m&ral' and ' legal' agitator !
Ma . vohs West , —This talented and honesthearted champion of the people ' s rights lectured in the National Charter Association Room , Fig Tree-2 * ae , on Sunday evening last , tt > a densely-packed audience . Mr . Evison presided . The lecturer ehiefly dwelt upon the " Complete Suffrage move , " showing up the fallacies of this new scheme to divide the working classes . He urged upon the meeting to stand by O'Connor and the National Charter Association ; hi 3 appeal was warmly responded to . On the motion of Mr . Wortenbolme , seconded by Mr . Hoyston , the thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr . West for his able lecture .
A Political Sermon was preached in th . s after- i noon of Sunday , in the Fig Tree-lane room , by aj member of ihe Youths' Association . A collection i was made for the Sheffield Victim Fund . j Chartist Female Association . —Mr . West ad- j dressed a crowded meeting of the Chartist Females i is the Fig Tree-lane room , in the early part of the j evening of Monday . Mr . West highly pleased his 1 hearers ; a number of new members were enrolled . \ I ' m association meets in the above loom every Mon- dty evening , at half-past five o'clock .
Tows-Hall Meeting . —A crowded meeting was ' held in the Town-Hall , on Monday evening , called ; to hear a second lecture from Mr . West , on the , grievances cf the people and the remedy for their ; wrongs ; a large nnmber of the fair sex were present , ; and a considerable nnmber of onr Hibernian friends , j attracted in all probability by the knowledge that j Mr . West is an Irishman , and one whose abilities ; and patriotism , shed a lustre upon his country ' s ; name . They were highly satisfied , which was shown j by their -repeated and " enthusiastic responses to : Ms remarks . At eight o ' clock , that honest Tetersn , i Mr . Samuel Lndlam , was called to the chair , aud was warmly greeted on coming forward . Mr . West , who was received with lond and repeated cheers , commenfted by remarking that he appeared before
them , nox as a sectional reformer , not as a erotchetmonger , bat one advocating the broad right of humanity without distinction of caste , clime , or creed . ( . Cheers . ) He appeared before them in the double capacity of a herald of peace and of war ; he came as the herald of peace to all honest men , but he would preach war , a war of extermination against tyranny and injustice . ( Applause . ) He had thatday -walked through Sheffield , and in their town had seen many things pleasing , but many more sad ; he had seen the splendid shops of the middle class filled with costly apparel and merchandise of every description ; but he had seen also their mechanics walking the streets in rags , and starving amidBt plenty . Nor was Sheffield the only place where ED . Cn scenes met the eye . No ; he had traversed ihe
cotton and the woollen districts , and his soul had sickened at the sad Eights of misery and woe that every where met his eye . Why waB this ? The question must be answered . Hitherto onr philosophers and statesmen have treated the working classes as bo many machines for producing wealth ; indeed one of these self-eiyled philosophers , Mr . M'CnEocb , says boldly that the working man is merely a machine for creating wealth , and only useful in proportion to his productive powers ; he ( Mr . We = t ) wished that the working man had been treated as well as a machine ; a machine required attention and care , none of which the worting T """ had foncd at the hands of those who made use of his physical and mental strength for the 5 r &wn aggrandisement . He bad Tinted some of the

agricultural districts , and there , toe , poverty and want were the lot of the workiDg man . Sail the accursed system had not played that havoc in the agricultural it had done in the manufacturing district ? . " The field labourer was yet hale and Btroog , and not the decrepid , sickly , emaciated being the factory worker was . Nor was misery confined to thb country ; no , his own country , unhappy ; Ireland , had suffered for ages ; the suffering of ^ Irishmen was proved by the immense numbers of [ them that were compelled to seek a refuge iu this I country \ . they came not willingly here ; no man ! would willingly abandon his native land ; it was ] poverty and oppression that forced Irishmen from ' the shores of their own green isle There ought
| to be no difference between , working men in this i country , whether they are Englishmen or Irish-< men—( cheers . ) He was glad to see that all past differences were now buried , or well j nigh so , and he fondly trusted that the men > of _ both , nations would see the propriety of ; nniiitfg against the common enemy ( cheers . ) Mr . ; Wesfc _\ hen entered into a lengchy and humoious de' scription of the aristocracy and their doin&a . Coming i to the church , he remarked they ( the people ) were j often charged with beiDg infidels ; now he would i prove that the church parsons were infidels , he would ¦! prove * hat _ they were ready to serve either God or i the devil , just as they were paid for it . At the cloje > of the last war a number of the aristocratic scions
m the army were thrown upon half-pay . Upon this they could not live—could not keep up their dignity , so having uncles or other relatives holding rich benefices in the church , they filched these to make out their income . TheTe was seen the gay dashing captain or lieutenant , who had many a-time capsized ihe table in the mess room , and played eff all those wild pranks in which young men of high blood delight to excel , putting on a serious face and kneeling before the bishop , and solemnly declaring that he was called by the Holy Ghost to save the souls of ! men . Well , he is now a parson , but all the while is still a soldier , stiU . reeeiriag his half-pay , and liable to be called npon at any moment ta place himself at the head of his regiment , there to , of course
carry out the precept he enjoins every sabbath t ? ay , " Thou shalt noi kill . " Suppose him called from his pulpit to the battle-field ; what a pretty spectacle does this member of the church militant present , running to the scene of strife and slaughter with the bible in one hand , and the sword in ihe other ; one half a black coat , the other half a red coat ; one moment praying , another cursing ; one moment crying , Lord forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us ; " another giving the word of command to shoot , sabre , and slay . In short , serving God and the Devil , and caring not one straw which , so as both services pay —( loud cheering . ) This system at length became so odious to the nation , that even the corrupt
government of that day was compelled to set its face against it . Mr . West continued , at some length , to expose ihe isiqaiiies of ihe Established Church , and then coming to the question of an income-tax , remarked , that as the middle class would support an accursed system , it was but right that they should pay for it—( cheers ) . Lond was their wail respecting the inquisitorial nature of the tax ; he would ask , were they not even ready to play the part of inquisitors to those beneath them 1 When these same middleclaso men , officiating as guardians of the poor , came to decide upon an appeal lor relief made to them by a less fortunate brother man , did not these gentry pry into every secret of the poor man's domestic circumstances ?—( hear , hear ) . He would say , go it , Sir
Robert ! fey it on thick and heavy !—( loud cheer 3 ) . Mr . West next made a forcible appeal to his Irish hearers , and concluded an hour and a half ' s discourse by . calling upon the meeting to stand fast by the Charter , and not allow themselves to be juggled out of the glorious principles for the triumph of which they had struggled and suffered so much . He sat down amidst enthusiastic and protracted cheering . Mr . Samuel Parkes gaid they heard from Mr . West the catalogue of woes suffered by the working classes —the schemes to put an end to the present distress had been many , the only true one was the Charter . ( Cheers . ) Many attempts had been made to seduce the people from , their Charter—many schemes had been put forth to divide them ; the last of these was
the Complete Suffrage scheme of Messrs . Miall aud Sturge .. A Conference had sat at Birmingham—that Conference pretended to represent the people—it did nothing of the sort ; its mem bers were elected a hole and corner meetings ; and , with a few exceptions , the working men were not represented in it . ( Hear , hear . ) Certain professing Chartists were at this Conference , among them Mr . Henry Vincent . This gentlemen , when the people would have nominated him to the Chartist Convention , couldn ' t go had not time , and so forth ; and yet , tell it not in Gath , publish it not in Askalon , he could find time to . go to this respectable Conference . ( Hear , hear . ) Before proceeding further , he -would read to them the resolution entrusted to him to move : —
"That this meeting , having calmly considered the proceedings of the Sturge Conference , are of opinion that that body , having refused to adopt the name of the Charter , while it has affirmed the truth and justice of the principles of that measure— - in having proposed the formation of a new Association , whilst an organization existed , extending over the country , eminentlycalculated to accomplish the establishment of the principles affirmed by th e Conference— -and given other evidence that the object of the majority of that Conference is the destruction of the National Charter Association , and the overthrow of the men who had stood by our cause , and endeared themselves to the hearts , of the people by their incorruptibility and devotion to the orincitiles of democracy . We hereby
declare that we have no confidence in the scheme of agitation proposed by the Conference , nor in the men who have placed themselves at the head of the Complete Suffrage movement , and will neither support or countenance it or them . And regarding no man as honest who , professin g to adopt our principles , refuses to join the National Charter Association , we pledge ourselves to stand firmly by our own Organisation , and we call npon the -working classes of the . empire to rely upon themselves only for their own enfranchisement , and never to abandon in name or principle that great palladium of equal rights and equal laws , the People ' s Charter" — ( cheers . ) This was the resolution he begged to move . The Conference had adopted the principles of the
Charter , bnt rejected the name . They would not join our Association , but most need ? form a new one . The excuse was that ihej could net work with certain of the Chartist l ? ader « . Who vras it that they could not work with ? Why , principally and particularly , Feargu 3 O'Connor—( vehement cries of "hear ") .- It was the inordinate vanity of certain professing Chartists tbat induced them to seek the ruin of Mr . O'Connor— ( cheers)—they are jealous of his influence , they envy him his popularity , they would fain destroy him if they cou ' . d ; but they never shall . He then read from the Xonconformist , extracts from the speeches of several members of the Conference , exhibiting their hatred of Chartism . Mr . P . next read an extract from Mr . O'Brien ' s
Bati lectures , where Mr . O'B . advises tho people not to go over to the middle class : yet , continued Mr . Parke 3 , Mr . O'Brien now calls upon you to join this Complete Suffrage Union , to merge your association into it . ( " Throw him overboard . ") He has thrown , himself overboard . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . P . ) called upon them to watch narrowly their leaders . There was such a thing as gold dust often used to blind the eyes of popular men ; but there was one man not yet blinded—Feargns O'Connor . ( Loud cheers . ) He had battled for you in prosperity and adversity , in the hall and in the dungeon , in the senate-house and under the canopy of heaven ; he has never deserted you , never betrayed you , and will you abandon him now ! ( One t . ren . 'endons cry
of " No , " burst from the meeting . ) Will yon abandon your Charter ? ( Again one tremendous " . No" was ihe answer . ) Will you abandon your Association . XNoO By the blood of Shell , by the spirit of / 3 a yton , by the sufferings of Frost , by all their p * labours and sacrifices , he called upon them-to stan d by their Charter . ( Great cheering ) Mr . Harney , in a speech of considerable length , seconded the resolution . Mr . West supported the resolution . He had attended a meeting at Doacasier , where one of the . delegates to the Sturge Conference gaTe in his report . He confessed to the men . of Doncaster that as the- reason for forming a new association was that they wished to exclude certain of the Chartist leaders from the new movement , they could not work with them ; the principal of thess obnoxious leaders . was O'Connor . They wished to form a
National Association , Baid Mt . O'Brien ; they wished to make the movement a national one . Was not the Chartist movement a national one ? The signatures to our petition shall answer ( loud cheers . ) He ( Mr . West ) knew that nearly three years ago overtures were made to Mr . O'Connor to join Mr . Sturge , Mr . Hume , Mr . Roebuck , and others of the philanthropic Malthusian faction : Mr . O'Connor gpurned the overturea made Mm ( cheers . ) They cad tried every means to seduce O'Connor from his principles , and tbat failing , they had tried to assassinate him ; they had failed ; and nowthey sought hia destruction by dividing the people , but they will fail . ( Great cheering . ) After some caustic remarks npon the non-interference resolution of the Conference , Mr . West continued—never was he more surprised in his life than when he heard the middle-class adulating O'Brien , But a few weeks . ago Mr .

O'Brien was regarded by the middle class as the most detestable of all the fire brand Chartist leaders . ( Hear , near . ) Yet now they boasted of his acquisition to their ranks . He ( Mr . West ) had been tauntingly told at Doncaster by a middle class man that the Chartists were powerless now they had lost the prestige of their association , Mr . O'Brien . His ( Mr . W ' b . ) answer was , Mr . O'Brien never was a member of the Charter Association , and they could do without him—they cared not for the loss of a leader—if all the leaders deserted them to-morrow they could do without them —( oheeis . ) The people were free of leadership ; they could lead themselves —( cheers . ) The men of Doncaster had solemnly declared they would stand by the Charter and O'Connor , and he trusted the men of Sheffield
would follow their noble example—( enthusiastic cheers . ) A person whose name we could Hot lesrn , complained that Mr . O'Brien , Mr . Vincent , Mr . Sturge , and others of the Conference had been foully slandered by the previous speaker . He was sure the meeting would be disgusted with what they had hoard to-night . Why not call a meeting in Paradise-square , if they wished to denounce the ' complete suffrage movement V The speaker was met by repeated interruptions on tbe part of the meeting , who with difficulty could be persuaded to listen to him . —Mr . Edwin Gill , in an able speech , in the course of which he was loudly applauded , snpported the resolution . —Mr . Foster , from the gallery , supported the resolution .. —Mr . Parkes triumphantly replied to the charge of havinRAlaudered Mr . B .-O'Brien . Mr . Brad well , who Beemed to feel sadly annoved by the existence of the
Northern Star , moved the following amendment , — "That this meeting hails with pleasure every movement of the middle class towards the full acknowledgment of the principles of the People ' s Charter . " —Mr . Harney said it had been asked , why not call a meeting in Paradise-square to oppose the Sturge movement ? It was not their place to do so ; let the admirers of the ' usw move' call snoh a meeting ; the Chartists would be there ; and it would be seen ¦ whether the sense of the present meeting was not thatof the people of Sheffield . —The Chairman took the show of hands for the amendment , when six hands , the property of foar individuals , were held up . Against it , one countless mass was upraised . The original resolution was then put and adopted by tha meeting amidst loud cheering . Thanks having been voted to Mr . West and to the Chairman , the meeting separated at eleven o ' clock , first , giving three glorious cheers for the Charter and no gurrender .

DUBLIN . —The Irish Unitebs . vi . Suffrage Association . —This Association held their usual meeting on Sunday evening , at their great rooms , 14 , North Anne-street , Mr . Freebairn in the chair . After the minutes had been read , the petition , as prepared by the committee , was brought forward by the secretary , who read it at length , and it was adopted amid the acclamations of the assembly . Mr . Norton then spoke regarding a motion of which , he had given notice on the last Sunday , touching certain letters which had appeared in the public papers , threatening a priest with prosecution , who had interfered with the civil rights of his parishioners . Mr . Dyott said that it must be in the recollection of every person present that that
naotion was ref < rred to / he general committee ; they had found it to be of such a nature as that it could not be legally entertained , inasmuch as it would be an interference with the private rights of individuals , and their association could have liotbing to do with either plaintiff or defendant in that or any other case , without being justly chargeable with a conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice . If the clergy man had been guilty of a libel Y > n the private character , or interfered in any way with the mercantile concerns of any individual ; or if , on the other hand , the clergyman ' s feelings had been unnecessarily assailed and outraged , each , had his proper
remedy—the legal tribunals of his country . They would not imitate the unlawful proceedings resorted to elsewhere to baffle the ends of justice , or to crush any man , lay or clerical , who had truth on his side . ( Cheer ;? . ) Mr . Norton ' s motion had been gone into by the committee , and a report of the matter carefully drawn up , which report would now be submitted to the meeting , and could not fail to satisfy the most fastidious mind of the prudence and propriety of the personb who withheld those letters from publication , which must now be necessarily alluded to in the report , iu consequence of Mr . Norton ' s motion , which was as follows : — "
Notice" That certain letters and correspondence published in the Freeman ' s Journal , be taken into consideration by the committee , and , their opinion be fcubmiltscl to the meeting on this day week ( tb . ia day ) respecting the correspomitnee between Mr . Dempsey and : the Heverend Mr . M . Rally , and certiin letters Signed J . B . M'Carty . " " John Norton ^' . The president being called upon read the report and moved its adoption . Mr . H . Clark seconded that motion . He was a Roman . Catholic , like the majority of those who heard him , and he yielded to no man in reverence for bis religion and its pastors . But while ho recognized their authority to the fullest iu spiritual matters , it was quite clear that they
were not always the best judges in other s affairs indeed their seclusion from the world rendered them in some degree lesslikely to be well informed regarding politics ^ &c , than laymen . At all events , however , he should respeptfuily listen and reverentiallyreason , with clergymen on these subjects . ; he could sot admi them except in matters of divinity . "They assembled there to assert the indepehdance of every man to think and speak for himself on publio matters , and chey would be strangling their own principles if they refused to adopt that excellent report , drawn up with such care and effect by a sub-committee appointed by ballot—( cheers . ) Mr . Norton said that he had heard the report read , and was highly satisSed with that part which related to the Rev . Mr . M . Rally , &c , but he was of opinion that co matter how much : Mr . O'Connell was in error , they should subrnitto him ; no matter how mysterious and inconsistent hia conduct , they should not
tiare to question it ; nor if ¦ he . abused them should they reenminute—in fact they should riot mention his name at all—( laughter . ) Mr . Dyott said to talk politics in Dublin a : id not mention Mr . O'Conneil , would be as difficult as to play Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark —( hearj and laughter . ) Mr . O'Connell ( not Dan . ) in an admirable speech supported the report . Mr . Lswler said the report was quits unsatisfactory ; Mr » O'Connor wished to have the letters made public ; which the committee had no right to suffer . Mr . © 'Higgins said that the letters aliuiod to , notwithstauding all those tauuta , Ehould not be produced , except before tho dignitar ries mentioned in . the report itself . Nor would the report have been laid beforo that meeting but that the ridiculous conduct of Mr . Norton , Mr . O'Connor , and a . few o ' . hers rendered it absolutely necessary in order to vindicate tho character of the Association . —Lit is impossible for us to give the report this week . We shall try to give it in our next J

OTIOS > LETON .-- ~ Having seen in the Star of the 16 th instant , a report of the St u ' rgite Conference , we were very sorry-to see some of thoiso who have figured as the people ' s representatives , deviating from What We consider to be the stripe path of duty ; and amongst ; that number there were none that we more sincerely regretted than Mr * OBrien . The day is gone by for any man , or any number of men , to lead the people from the principles contained in their Charter , Tao Chartists have often been taunted with boing the slavea of Mr . O'Connor ; but , if Mr . O'Connor should deviate one iota from the piinciples contained in the People ' s
Charter we should be as ready to denounce him as any other man . Public opinion has been so far aroused to a sense of right and wrong , that it is impossible for any imposition to succeed , no matter from -whence , or from whom it -may emanate ; and believe ine ^ Mr . Editor , when . 1 teU you the Chartists of iriddleton are determined pot to let this opportunity slip without recording their detestation of men who , like Daniel O'Connell , as soon as certain principles are on the eve of being matured , a new name must be given to it , and so keep up an endless system of agitation , without ever coming to any tangible conclusion upon given principle —Correspondent . ¦ y ¦' ¦; '¦ ; '; ; .

GRAND DEMONSTRATIOK A 2 ^ D PUBLIC MEETING , AUD TRIUMPHANT ENTRY OF FEAR 9 US O'CONNOR , ESQ ., ATTENDED BY TJPWAKDS OF TWENTY THOUSAND PERSONS . It having been onderstood in the latter part of last week , that the champion of the people's cause ¦ would pay Cheltenham a visit , on Monday the 18 ib , notwithstanding the shortness of the notice , we lost eo time in makSig preparations to "receive him in a jammer that he deserved . On Monday morning the town was the scene of activity aud " life . Every one endeavoured to do hiB duty to forward the cause they had bo much at heart . The procession was announced to leave the
Mechanics' Institution at four o ' clock , and long before ffr * t hour onr friend 3 from the different associations began to arrive . The procession , both for numbers and grandeur was beyond the expectations of our warmest friends . At two o'clock in the afternoon a carnage was despatched to the railway station , at Qrencester , a distance of fifteen mile 3 5 in which were seated Messrs . Milsom and Perry , to conduct the noble patriot to Cheltenham . After the procession had paraded the chief part of the town , they then moved on towards the Cirencester-road . Kothing could equal the anxiety which every one felt to catch a glimpse of their distinguished guest . And a 3 the train did not arrive so soon
by three qoaiter 3 of an hour as Mr . O'Connor had stated in his letter , it served to increase their anxiety ; but when they caught sight of the Union Jack waviug over the patriot's head , one general shont bnrst from tie assembled multitude ^ which made the welkin ring . - The procession was beaded by a splendid large banner , bearing the arms of the National Charter Association , followed by another bearing the motto of the "People's Charter , and no surrender . " Then came a band of music , fol-Iswed by a splendid portrait of John Frost , bearing the motto , '' He suffered for us , and shall we neglect him V This banner belonged to the
Cirencester Association . Then came the carriage j drawn by four horses , in which was seated the t people's champion and Messrs . Milsom and Perry , [ followed by a banner from the Swoud Association , I ¦ with the inscription of " More p : £ s and less parsons . " i It would be useless to attempt co give any thing like ' a description of either the nnmber or the mottos of the different flags and banners , of which there were npwards of forty . Oar two friends , Messrs . Jfonrse and Davis have exerted themselves in a I manner tha * does them great credit , in producing i Euch splendid banners for the occasion . There neTer ) was any thing to equal the procession in this part of ihe country . It is acknowledged by all parties that I there were more than twenty thousand persons ; present in the High-street as one time . It has quite j paralyz-d all factions , not excepting the Sturgite ' s . i
They seem to be greatly displeased , as it was their intention to told a public meejing on the Tuesday , ; but M * - O'Connor coming on the Monday , droTe them into a comer that they will not be able to get j out of just yet . The meetiag was announced to take . place at eight o'clock , at the large Market Hall ; it ! was likewise announced tbat twopence each would ba charged for admission , but the time arriving j before the procession reached the market , and a rush taking place , being all anxious to get in , it was ; found necessary to open tha doors and let in as many as the place would hold , and alihough it was crammed to suffocsticn , thousands could not . gain an entrance . When Mr . O'Connor arrived i from his hotel it was with the greatest difficulty-, thit a passage conid be m ^ uie through the dense mass eongregatvd together- i
Mx . PEHSTjBub-Secretary , rras called to the chair , who briefly introduced Sir . O'Connor . Through the immense quantity of people outside tie building dying for an adjonrnmeBt , it was some time before Mr . O'Coksob could begin . He comjaeaccd in a masser that was cheering to the hearts of the working men , and to the annoyance of those Jhat would wish to prey upon the industrious classes . But of all the parties that seemed to be most galled were the followers of the amiable Joseph Storge . — Mr . O'Connor proceeded for upwards of one hour and a half in a fervent strain of eloquence , and was frequestly interrupted by different persons fainting away in consequence of tha pressure of the meeting and the heat of the room . He then entreated the working men to be true to their Charter , which was responded to in the most enthusiastic manner .
Three cneers were then given for Mr . O'Connor , ihree for the Charter , name and . all , and three for Urost , Williams , and Jones . A resolution was then proposed by Mr . Glenister , of Cheltenham , and seconded by Mr . Paul , of Stroud , declaring their confidence in Mr . OConnor and likewise the Kational Charter Association , -wnicfc was carried unanimously . Mr . O'Connor returned to London at half-past eleven o'clock the same evening , &ndthu 3 ended a most glorious demonstration in favour of the People's Charter . mLn _ , JJVi | ni || f , f f ^ *^^^^^^^^»« _» . jj . r r _ r _ r _ r _ r i- - r - - ^ j
