Every well regulated state has possessed laws directly subversive of all that might injure the development of mind , retard the improvement of morals , or been destructive to the physical beauty of the female form .

A debating society has been formed at the above reom , the members meet every Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , for tlse purpose of discussing varicu 3 subjects .
WXNIiATOrf . —On Saturday evening last , "Mr . Watkins ' B play of John Frost was performed by a few working men , at Winlaton , when £ 1 was realised , after all expenses were pa : d , wluch is to go to thesupport of the Convention . The piece was performed to the satisfaction of the audience who honoured them trith their support . The patriotic Winlaton b ind was in attendance , and played several appropriate ¦ airs during the performance . UTAyggRKTHR OP £ > 'I > 'G OF THE CJLRTSy-^ EES' HALi BT THE ChaSTISTS—In consequence of the crowded state of the rooms of this town , the rapid Spread of Chartist principles , and the anxiety of the people to hear them fully , fairly , and distinctly explained , the Town Council who have been assiduous in
their duties , and T * atch £ al of the best interest of lie movement agreed to te&e a large and commodious room , capable of holding three thousand people . The other fiva rooms it is expected will be given up , and thus the whole of the Chartists of Manchester , for the future , trill be brought into one focus and have ene rallying point . Pursuant to notice by placard , thaie was a numerous , respectable , and attentive audience ; Mr . Jehn Murray , a veteran in the cause , was called to the cbair , who opened the business by speaking of the importance of taking the hall , which might be called in one sense their own , which they would for the future meet in , for the express purpose of advocating their principles . He begged before he sat d < ywn to announce that it was their intention to allow , en all occasions ,
tee discussion , therefore be hoped they would give the lecturer a patient and attentive hearing , after which , equal justice should be observed towards aay person present , who might differ in opinion with the lecturer , on anything which he might advance . Mr . Ross , -who tad been appointed to lecture , then advanced to the front of the platform , amid the applause of the meeting , and observed that he felt especial pleasure at the Excellent remark of their worthy Chairman , in promising that any individual who might dissent from anything he might advance , should be allowed the opportunity to do so . The lecturer then gave a true but iwful description of the condition of the people , and declared that the people themselves , by their own unity , sobriety , intelligence , and
perseverance , must certainly obtain thsir emancipation He felt convinced that the remedy for the manifold rrila under which the people were suffering was contained only in tie principles of the People ' s Charter . Mr . Bosb then siid , that he had been told that he would injure himself by joining the Chartists ; and signified that when he saw his fellow conntrymen starving he was compelled—in behalf of his otm interest , because It was invelved in equal representation , —to give his bumble support to that body of men whom he thought test calculated to emancipate himself and fellow-men from slavery and political bondage . The lecturer then said , that he was prepared to prove that the Etep he had taken was a proper one- He then commented on the conduct of the middle class towards the people ; and
showed theimpotency of the League . He dwelt on the cenduct of both Whigs andTories , and contended that the people had been crucified betwixt the two base , factions . The League was now sunk , and the Chartists were in the ascendant Had the Whigs performed their duty Torysm would have been , buried for ever . The speaker then shewed clearly the artifical and unnatural position of the people , and strongly denounced a system which ptrt sinews , blood , and bone , to compete with wood , steam , and iron ; and invoked the powers of G » d—of humanity and justice , to pat an end to it He then shewed clearly that the system fostered and perpetuated ignorance and crime , and ih ? t thousands were victims to it , robbed of their freedom for doing good , and taunted "With ignorance , and despised for it by the makers and framera of the law . Mr . Boss made some powerful , effective , and catting allusions to the fate of the patriots Prost , Williams , and Jones , and urged exertions for their restoration . He dwelt at some length on the proud
position of the Chartists as a political body , cautioned them against any specious yet deceitful claptrap which would be started by the factions to lead them from She scent of the Charter agitation , which would , if faithfully adhered to , properly watched , and persevered in , lead them to the goal of liberty . He compared the education of the working classes , and challenged the "fustians" to be superiors in political knowledge to the classically-educated . He manfully enforced the principles of total abstinence ; and explained the resources of Great Britain , the aiiil and enterprise of her inhfibliante as compared with those of foreign nations . He denounced the parties who exported their sympathy abroad and left none for home consumption—who would give £ 20 , 000 , 000 for the emantipatien of slavery abroad , and forgot the thousands starving at home . It Would be more consistent for them , ¦ while they were sending Bibles , parsons , and intelligence abroad , to pay more attention to their fellow-creatures at
borne . The speaker shewed the consequence of the thousands of people who were , by the system , forced to leave the land of their" birth , and described in impressive but * filling language the sight of friends and relations parting at the deck . He compared the condition of the handloom weavers 15 or 20 years ago with their present one , showing how they had beenrobbed of the necessaries and comforts of life . He spoke for upwards of an hour and a half , and concluded by stating that some of the myrmidons of the League had said that be had previously received some of their money , but he declared befere heaven and that meeting , that he never received one single fraction from them , and sat down leudly applauded . —In the evening there iras a very enthusiastic assembly , a greater number present than in the afternoon . Sir . Jones being out of town , Mr . Dixon , of Wigan , officiated , and delivered a lecture which occupied two hours , and afterwards answered questions and held a friendly but instructive fiiacossien .

Cartledge , of "Mnnrfrftstpr , lectured here , * fter -which toe following resolution was passed : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , the alarming distress prevailing throughout this country , has been brought about by class legislation , and that the only efficient remedy , and to restore trade and ensure prosperity to the producers and prosperity to the manufacturers , is contained in the enactment * of the People ' s Charter ; and this meeting are determined to agitate for that , and that alone , until it feeeomes the law of the land .

Csaten Head , DburyLane . —A public meeting of the stonemason body was held here on Saturday evening last , at which there was a numerous atteBdanee . Mr . Si-Donald was called to the chair , and briefly addressed his brother tradesmen . Mr . Bairstow , delegate to the Convention from the Midland Counties , then addressed the meeting in his usual energetic , and eloquent manner , pointing out to them the evils of the present system of Government , and the necessity which existed for a change . The aristocracy of this country had wrung their wealth from the heart ' s blood of the working classes of this kingdom , and had squandered
away that wealth in crushing the liberties of their fellow-men . He was surprised at the infatuation of his fellow-men , who had so long supported this wretched system ; bat this surprise vanished when he reflected on the length of time that the aristocracy had wielded the power and the resources of the nation . But he was proud to state that the aristocratic feeling that once existed was fast disappearing : among the working classes , scares a man could be found to advocate the cause of Toryism ; if he did , you would find him stuck behind an ale bench , with , a pipe in his nieuth as black as ebony , or ensconced in some snug parlour .
singing— " Britons never will be slaves . " Few will , in this day of advanced intelligence , be found to invite the lash which laeerates the flesh . The men that would advocate the cause of Toryism were not men ; they-were things : they "were not composed of mind , but of matter ; one sound sterling democrat , was worth 100 , 000 such men . Chartism had flourished to a degree that was unexampled within these few years .. He was but a young man , but ho was travelling through the North of England at the time of the unfortunate affair at Newport ; then a universal gloom came over the prospects of Chartism ; despondency had darkened into despair j 354 of their bravest men were immured in dungeons , not a publican dare open to them , for fear of
his license ; not a private place or a conventicle could they procure to meet in ; they were as completely put under the ban of excommunication , as thongh the Pope from the Vatican had thundered forth his denunciations against them ; the Whigs gloried in the posture of affairs—they boasted they had put down Chartism ; alas for Wbiggery , how has ita crest fallen ! Since then we have plucked every laurel from its brows ; we have consigned it to a grave of infamy and despair , and if it has had its last death blow , I am proud that I have lent a helping hand in sending it to its last home . I know that for my conduct at the last Nottingham election and at the general electioa I have increased the hatred of the Whigs . I am well aware that their vile and venial press poured forth the full tide of its venom
against me , that I was everywhere denounced by the middle classes as the " Tory Biirstow , " bnt I care not for this , for I know that my conduct secured the applause of my Chartist brethren , and advanced the interest of that cause to which his heart , yea and life was willing to be rendered a sacrifice . If we have now got a strong Government , we are not deceived in them . We know the flag under which they fight—we are acquainted -with their tactics , they are an open foe , mid are less to be dreaded than a pretended , friend , who trill stab you in the dark ; we have them in our front and not at our side , treacherously striving to delude us . We know Toryism of old—we know its avowed object—we have only to look to the page of history to conjure up the bloated Cerberu 3 of Toryism ;
it is a meniter that cannot exist in the light of the sun , that will not endure ' a ray from the lamp of reason ; it can oaly exist when the mind is in worse than Egyptian darkness ; the day of Toryism is over in England ; it only exists in a remnant of the aristocracy and in their time-serving , menial Biaves . He had ever counselled his fellow men to throw aside the slavish doctrine of humility preached by a time-serving class of priestB . Consider yourselves as men , equal with your fellow men . They tell you that the aristocracy have been born to govern , and y # u to obey ; that ii was ordained by Providence that you should crawl and like spaniels lick the feet of those ¦ who spurn you . Not content with the power of the laws and of the magistrates , they tell you of an
ever-burning gulf over which you will be suspended for ever if you dispute their mandates ; and by means like these the state priests have ever ateed the cause of despotism , have crushed the native intellectual dignity of man and reduced him to a eerf and a slave ; bat be congratulated them that this feeling was fast dying away , that the inherent right of kings and governors was become not only a matter of sceptism , but of ridicule and contempt ; and before the spread of information which was now so mightily advancing , these baubles would disappear like mists " before the rising sun ; union alone has given rise to the power of the aristocracy , and once let ub unite , let us make the National Charter Association the Polar star of our attraction , and we shall be able to repel all the efforts
of our enemies , as the knotted oak "which stands firm before the passing tempest , or as the mighty rock which dashes into their spray the waves which beats against it If the working classes knew their own power the present system would not stand forty-eight hours . Mr . Bairstow then showed the necessity of the trades uniting for the Charter , showing , the facilities they had for that purpose , and concluded a long and powerful adddresa by exhorting them to rally round the Convention and to muster in all their strength and majesty on the day of the presentation , and make it such a day as London had never before seen . Mr . Bairstow then sat down tremendously applauded . Mr . Scott moved and Mr . J . Hogg seconded a vote of thanks to the lecturer , and the meeting concluded .
Westminster . —A public meeting was held at the Theatre , York-street , Westminster , on Friday evening . Mr . Wheeler was unanimously called , to the chair and briefly addressed the meeting . Mr . Wilson moved the following resolution , " That this meeting is of opinion that the present distress of the country is the result ol class legislation , and that the People ' s Charter is the only remedy for the present disaffected and distressed state of the country . " Mr . Sculthorpe seconded the resolution , 'Which was supported in a leng , energetic , and eloqueBt address by Mr . Thomason , delegate to the Convention , in which he held up in their trne colours the great political and social evils which afflict society , and recommended in the most urgent manner the necessity of union and firmness in the Chartist ranks . During tie "whole of his address , be was loudly cheered . The
resolution on being put , was carried unanimously . Mr . J . Bowling moved , and Mr . Elvey seconded , the next resolution , " That this meeting is of opinion that the Convention of the National Charter Association deserves the support of all who are convinced that the principles propounded in the ^ People ' s Charter are the only means of ensuring the political salvation of the working classes of society . " Mr . M'Pherson , delegate to the Convention from Aberdeen , ably supported the resolution , shewing to them that if the Convention was not backed up by their countenance and support , its labours on their behalf wonld be useless . The resolution was then put to the meeting and unanimeusly carried . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and to . the Delegates , and the meeting adjourned until that day week , to be held at the Bame place .
London Distbict COUNCIL . —Reports were received from the various deputations , < fec ., which had been appointed .

Poplar . —A public meeting was held at the Angel Inn , High-street , Poplar , which wa 3 crowded to excess . Dr . Bowter was unanimcusly called to the chair . Mr . Frazer , in a long and eloquent address , moved tha following resolution : — " That this meeting views with alarm , the present unparalleled distress which pervades' the length and breadth of the land , falling with accumulated force on the producing and humbler trading classes , and that as their privations do not originate from their immorality or indolence , they being the most virtuous and industrious classes in the community , but from circumstances over which they can exercise no controul , resulting from classlegislation ; this empire never can experience happiness or prosperity until all classes are represented in tke legislature of this country , by what is termed the lower House of Parliament becoming in reality , what it is inname only , the focus of the popular wilL" The
resolution was seconded , in an energetic address , by Mr . Bairstow , delegate to the Convention from the midland counties . The resolution was put and carried unanimously . Mr . Dafiield moved , and Mr . Thomason , delegate from Dumbartonshire , seconded the following resolution : — " That this meeting , taking into consider ation the various remedies proposed for alleviating the present distress and misery under which the country aufiers , is of opinion that any measure short of the document entitled The People ' s Charter , ' most prove ineffective in carrying out the foregoing resolution . " This resolution being put by the chairman , was unanimously carried . Mr . Regan moved , and Mr . Bussags seconded , the adoption of the National Petition . This was carried unanimously amid great cheering . It was then moved and Beconded , that the members for the Tower Hamlets be requAsted to support the petition . The meeting then broke up with the usual Chartist honours .
