"We , for once , feel an Interest , though by no means a pleasuru . ble one , in referring our readers to ihe sayings of the middle-class House of Representatives . "We have given elsewhere a full report of the debate on Mr . Bcscohbs ' s motion , and the most v aluable debate tbat has occurred in that Hou 5 e durin g our time;—valuable , as evincing , if further evidence had been necessary , the real character of the middle-class advocates for liberty , and the true prospects and only resource of the people .
Comment , for "the present , is out 01 the question ; we reserve what we maj have to say till we shall have more space , and till a week ' s reflection shall have prepared the people to receive and estimate it without excitement . Meantime , rre entreat them not to permit the contumely of their oppressors to exhans : their patience ; it would but give the wretches too much pleasure to see endurance , flaring reached its limit , burst the bond of prudence . We have never expected , nor encouraged the people to expect , any belter result from this morion . We give here the names of those who voted for Air . Dr . vcoJiss ' s morion as we find them in the Sun .

TO THE IViPERlAL CHARTISTS . Mr eelgted F ^ izxds , —I really know not how I as to comEience my communications of thi 3 ¦ wee k , it has be ? n so full of Chartism 1 On Monday morning all was bustle and excitement in the neighbourhood cf " Oca Hocss "—each man rieing with his fellow in rendering all ihe asar . ance in his pewer to make our demonstration as powerful as possible . At ten minutes past twelve the BEATTJFrL thi > 'g was ready for hoisting upon tie ihou 3 dcT 3 of the Trades' Delegates , who had been" selected as bearers of the master roll of the nation ' s will to the House cf cs-Cohmoss . Sixteen good men and true were just able to move under ihe names of
3 , 317 , 752 !!! We "marched from our Convention Room to lincoln's-inn-neldsj where all was life and bustle . The hive was full . I cannot attempt any description of the enihnsiann ! The life that , animated one animated all . We "were as one man . Our procession took one hour and ten minutes to pass one spot . Procession did I say ! we had no process : a ! it was a dense mass of streets full ' . ' . Precision means a number of persons marshalled fotsr or Sve a-breastj lu : our numbers could not hare bec-a marshalled . Tne Times allow us 30 . 000 . New ycu may safely multiply that by 10 . It was acknowledged by all that it was the largest , the very largest gathering of people that ever was seen in London .
Oar retinon smashed the door frames of the 7 i-jnroir Hans- —i : broke them in pieces—it took forij or Sfty men to csrry in the fragments . I took a famous lump 03 my shoulder to the table of the Bocse . Bc-eslej also had a share of it . Not ore drunken rc ^ n was to be seen in London on the 2 nd M 27 , 134 * 2 . Yt a .= I then wrong in my opinion of the Chartists of Losdon I Our dinner was as glorious as Gar c £ nor .=-. riticn . Em what I esteem as—to mysilf—tie gre " . est trmmpa , is this : lifter Jnu-iual explanation , and a rather angry debate , I had ; he { leisure , amid the most raptnroas applause , to balk the wily and disappoint- the artful , by shakbg iiands wi : h James Bronr-crre O'Brien ; and bury for ever all hope of car enemies' triumph thrc ' iiih our disunion .
No , e >; beloved friends , do private feelings of my own shall ever enter into your councils . I will always Surrender private feeling to public duty Bat . mark me , I have no feelings—I never had any feelings bat those of affection , regard , and love for O'Brien . But i : is now done ; and , iherefore , my ' friends , let it be s-asonnced to : he world that disunion cf yo ^ r frier . ds 5 h-. II not ir jure your cause . Well , I attended in the K 32 . se las ; night , to hear the debate on yoirr Pe-. iticu . The first hour was spent ; in private clll business , church business , and enclosure ; cf poor insrs land bn ^ ness . For that hour the Ho ' -ise was too sm-li to hold " our representatives , " but in * monitz : cur c \ cirtj . ion , Dj ^ cc-mbe , was called upon
to ita ' . e ronr e = ti-. t ' -p-- hv Af-trr ? .- - * . the House to ita ' . e you cii ^ , ihen , by degress , the house thinned , till it was reduced to 18 on the Tory and 3 D on the Wlii ^ be nches . Yon will have ; ct : i the "Petition Debate . " I shall not comment on the vile speeches of Macanlay and Ko ' ibcck : I shall lenTe them to their constituencies . I am now but one of many ; and shall net therefore say one word as to your futnre course , as that will be pointed out by your Convention . Suffice it to say , cy friends , that what your Convention decrees , I , as one , will sacrifice my life , if necessary , to carrr ont .
Nothing ean equal the bravery , the decision , and Enanimity of your delegates . Not one word of disunion ; bnt all , on the contrary , endeavouring to soothe down anger and heal differences , O , how different from the middle-clas 3 Convention of Atttroodites , Cobbettites , and Xondonites ! Ko deserter ! no two objects ! no big . vords end little lotions !
I am going this evening to Brighton , to stand l&etween the Whig and Tory at the election , for the purpose of placing the true light of Chartism between

ike dead lights of Wrugqery and Toryism . I shall not fail to discharge my duty to the cause , although I have no skin on my heels or ancles . It was trod off in the procession : and I feel a secret pleasure , as I have had my blcod shed , also to have cast my ? kin , but not my principles , in the good cause . J \ o power but the power of Chartism could have must err d the numbers that we mustered en Monday . _ Every louse , every hole , and every corner is now full of the demonstration on Monday . It has paraded Chartism in open day , and brought us under the eye of the heretofore b " : ind . They a .-k whatirwas ? -and echo answers Liberty . "
We have no chance whatever from the House of ; Commons ; our Caarter must be carried out of the House before it is eren Ump-. rately discussed in the , House . . 1 The Tories did their work with a slyness peculiar otheir ' ordrer . Sir James Graham knew that the word " fire , " though softly <; iven , would insure the discharge of the heavy artillery of W higgery , and j sure enouiih . -Macaulay took tlio hint , and under j the Tory General the Whigs did fire away ! But ; no inatttr ; Danconibe and Leader stood to their ! poits like men , and like Chartists . ' j During this day , of course something will be done , ' to maintain the position which we have now acquired , j Be not imimidated ! be not down-hearted !! be not '
influenced by the House of Commons defeat . I We are now discussing the subject of "denuncia- ; ticns"in ihaNonkem Star ; but , mi friends , you must I take up the Star and investigate it , and endeavour to j point out to . me and to the country the name of any ; one indivilnal who has bc-en . denounced by Feargus ; O'Connor or the S ' . a >; who was not firs : denounced ; by the people , far some act of tergiversation crl injustice " to the people . Was I to submit to the denunciation of the men of the Champion , of Dr . ] . Fietcher , 01 . Mr . Collins , of Mr . Hume , of Mr . i Hetherbg-cn , of Mr . U'Connell , of iho Church Chartists 0 ; -Glasgow and Birmingham?—I ask , was 11 to bear the fire and cot to reiaiiaie ? Is not-every
man aware that the first fire has been at Feargi : s ; O'Connor , and the Star , as that paper was the j great cock-shot to fire at ! But am 1 so foolish as i rio : to kn : w well , that every leader injured is an j injury done to all , and to tho cause generally ? j Therefore , now hear me ! jaege for yourselves ! and i come vreal coci 3 * . yoc , whenever I discover anything i calculated to injire you , I will proclaim it from the '• wa- 'ch-tower . ' ! I teli you thai public censorship is neecssary and requisite , " and as Ions as I live , I iviil not shrink-from the responsibility ; but it shall 1 always be against measures and not against men . i No power of open foe or pretended friend shall ever place me ; n the false position 0 : allowing the mine to spring under our feet , without warning you of our common daneer .
xou mas * look to the positton of me Editor of the Xorthern Star ; and bear in mind that both the Ed . tpr and myself ^ re charged with the insertion of every resolution passed at pnb'ic meetings , just as I am charged with every violent word spoken by Attwood , Muniz , L'ougla ? , Stephens , Lovetr . Collins and others . Xow , abo , biar in miud that the Star has published every letter of Fletcher , Heth ^ rinitoii , Duncan , of Euinburgl 1 ., Kiii , of the 5 " hi ihe Etui , iUc ' uardscn , and others ; all were pub-Hshed . The Editor cf the Star all bnt denounced me for my letter upon Church Chartism , Tettoralism and Knowl dg ? Chartism . Did I reply to it 1 No ; I ¦ eft public opinion to riaas the thing ; and event : prove that I was then ri ^ ht , as I now find that me-n who have professed ihesjse ! .-os infidel ? , have become preachers of Ccurch Cksrtism . This is shocking , odious ! and hypocritical . " L t all be union now : forget tlie past , and prepare for the future . Onward and we cenqu-er , backward and w ^ fall . "The W ' :: gs have srewn themselves in their tree coloms ; and yet the old Whig adainistraiion is the substitute which the Corn L 3 W R-jpealera cifcr u ; for tEose now in ofEcei Lit net our cause be injured by artful and designing men , vrl . o would sacrifice millions" for ihe restoration of Whig

BIEMZNCrHAM . —A most lamentable accident occurred in the parish of St . Tiiouias , on Monday . Two young men had a quanvl respecting a girl , and agreed to decide it by fistic argument . They met .-accordingly , and one of the young men by name Huxley , finding that he stood r good chance of being beaten , made a ; battering ram of his head , and hit liis opponent so forcibly on . the bieast , with it , that he unseated his heart , and the death of the young man was siinosD instantaneous .
B 3 JADFOSD . —A public . meeHns of the unemployed operatives took place on an open ? pace of ground , in front of the Odd ul Iowa' Hall , Thorntonroad ; a requisition vvs . 3 presented to tho constable , requesting him to convene the meeting , but ho having declined , the requUiiionists called the meeting themselves-,, for Thuraday . at eneo'clock . Mr . Clarkson , attorney , was called to the chair . Mr . Dawhirst moved the following resolution : — "Tliat we , tha unemployed operatives in the town of Bradford and its vicinities , amidst the intensity of our sufferings and misery , do most respectfully ask for the . interposition of'the magistrates in our behalf , aud that a memorial be adopted to the above
functionaries . " Mr . Rueben Pye seconded the resolution ; which was unanimously carried . Mr . Edwards moved the memorial to the magistrates ,, which set forth their distress in very strong-language ,, and that if their distress was not mitigated and relieved , the consequences would be fearful * o c-oiiieniplate . Mr . Edwards made a short bui ' au excellent speech 0 : 1 the stffsrnijrs of the operatives of the whole kingdom , and called on those who possessed- ' such- 'large heaps of wealth , tho produce of their hands , to come forward at this critical juncture to relieve their
necessities . Ivlr . Bixon seconded the motion , which was carried w'tehout a dissentient . Mr . G . Flinn moved , and Mr .

Anticipation of the Income Tax . —A large worsted spinner , and a Very pious Baptist , made a reduction ^ n , the wageB of his woolcombers of twenty per cent , last Saturday . Wool that was 5 d . per pound he has now reduced to 4 d . ; and for six months previous to the reduction , the sorts had bean made lid . ov 2 d . par pound worse than they liad been ; so that the reduction within tho last half year amounts to upwards of forty per cent . ; so muoh for piety He is not the only one that has made inroads into the comforts of the loil-woru slave . There are masters in Bradford that are paying their woolcombers the enormous sum of l | d . for combing English wools . Trade is indeed very bad ; hundreds of ^ the poor fellows are daily parading the Htreets without any employment ; and we fear tbeir condition is becoming desperate .

¦ .. ' . . ¦ ¦ : ¦ ' ¦ LEEPS kEW We gave ' . last week meetings that : had place , meeting stood adjourned to Monday evening , at which time there waa a very full attendance . ; r In consequence of the Court House being occupied by T . H . Marshall , Esq ., who was holding a Court of Requests in the large court , it was half-past seven o ' clock before Mr . Roborts took the chair . Th © Chairman , in opening the bnsiness , acquainted the meeting with the business which was under discasiou whea the Wednesday evening ' s adjournment took piace , and read over Mr . Barr ' a proposition .
. Mr . GEo . Njcwton , in a few brief remarks , opposed the bill altogether , which he declared : was-- ; apnecc ? sary , the . ratepayers beinK already burdeaed sufficiently with , expenses , without an addition of five or six thteisand pounds for obtaining a New Impjovement Bill . He did not care what the House of Conirnoiis thought , he should support the amendments introduced , in preference to the original bill , . Mr , Thos . Dixon replied at some length to tha remarks made by Mr . Barr , and the principles contained in his resolution , and contended that the n Iterations introduced hadI been addptsd after mature deliboration by the meetings which had been held , as which both ^ considerable time / and great . attention -had been devoted to thoobfect . :
Mr . Frazeb followed in a speech of great length , and of surpassing elcquenco . He thought it was an insult totheiaeetzngand to the ratepayers generally , to tell them that the amendments which had been introduced were not such as cou . 'd be beneficially carried out . He took the opportunity of . replying to some remarks in an article in the Le . eds Mercury of Saturday , last , and contended in favour of tha amendments which had ' ¦ -bso-n . ' adoptsd ^ arguing for fi :- ? principle of a graduated scale of taxation , so that the working ¦ clas . oes m ' rghl be moro leniently tax .-d than their employers .- Twopence in the pound , he
contended , was r-uffieicni for a working man to have to pay . out of his earnings ; and this was'the scab he trusted the meeting would abide by . With the aiaeadiaoiifc . adqp . fced iu reference to the tolls of the freo market he did not agree , becauss hethoughb it was makinga class distinction , and legislating for onecla ? s of tna community at the expence of another . Mr . RoB \ ssos , vfho Baid'hr .-wasa smalltradesman , argued against the introduction of the graduated scale of taxation , and would have all classes to pay "he same nmoTr . it of rate per pound , let that amount be fixed at what-it might . . : Mr . Thomas Morgan pointed out the
inoonsiste / ices and iricqnalitios of tae proposed graduated rcaie , which he characterised as dishonest and unjust . Ho was in favour of one uniform scale , and would cxeinpt cottages under £ 6 rent from being rated at all . : . I ' -ir . SuMMF . hs , decorative artist , put some questions to i \ lr .. B * rr , as to whether , in the event of his resolution being * -carrie . : ! , he would consent to admit into th ' . i bill " amendments as to the risno of holding the meetiugSj-f-ay- April or May , instead of January . ; as to tho substitution iircertain cases of affirmations instead . of paths -and » s to the amount ; of fine to bnlevitd by tho -mas ; ist'"at ' e 3 on parties who ara found guilty . ' of esposiity for sale unaoimd meat , /
Mr . Baku replied that the first point was met in the bill ; that so far as the sp . eond was concerned , tho tiaios for * holding tlie annuul meeting had been fixed . after ' duo deliberation , by the commissioners themselves ; and the last was also met by the bill , which provifled . a maximum fine of £ 5 . M-f . Joshua Hobson , after some excellent observations , during the delivery of whioh he was loudly applaude : ' , proposed the following amendment :- — 'That as the legal gentieniRn , who has mainly had the charge of the proposed Leeds Improvement Bill , has publicly signiaeil his intention of abandoning iill ' - . further professional connection with that bill , because of the alUrnt ' . o ; a and sueadments made in it by this vestry meeting ; and as , under these cit-cumatancea . and tha
ixirdjrdiiwry aad unwarrautably hostile positions assufnert t \ rai \! a the' vestry . by tho Town Council and tho Borough M . a $ «> tratfcs , there is little , if any , ' prospect of the prop-sed bill passing the Parliament in a shape corfonu . ibls to the wishes of iboniajority of the pe : ; .. ons -v / ho will be afi ' octed by the . measure should it biconifi 1-iw ; and as ( there are now befoie Parliament certain public bills for regulating buildings nnrl effecting imnrovejHeats in cities and boroughs , which bills if passed into law ( of ¦ which there is every reasonable pra-ipect ) , -will mainly accomplis-h the objects sought to be acconiplisiiutl . by the new Leeds Improvement Bill ; Vt is the deliberate opinion of this vestry meeting that thz niesfc jsKlicii . iua ami safe course will be to abandon : il ! lui-cher prosecution of the Leeds Improvement Bill , : nid petition Parliament to iiv . vko the public bills as fcilicknfc iis possible , and to pass them without delay .
Tina course will save the town a great amount of expeiice / and pieyect any section of the inhabitants from gain ? to PafUamtut with a private bill ( having » general sanction of the inhabUauta iu vestiy assembled ) , ami- t ! . ' erf » , from their , party , political , and legislatotial iuflaecee procure-. th ' o passing of the bill in a shape to suit their own party tnd class ictwrests , but iq a shape objectionti ' bie t « the _ majority of the inhabitants . This meeting , therefore , composed as it is of the owners and sccup ' . ers of property' in tilts borough of Leeds , withdraws it' 5 Mineral sanction formerly given to the new Leeds { nicnsYtiaent Bill , and-. forbids : say party from . f twiiiif to P . irliiiment , and there prosecuting the measure in their nam& , ulilesa such party - will-afford ' all rea ^ sonfibla gnarant'ie to tu \ a meeUng , thit they wiil endeavour to carry i . nt ' q full effect the alterations and . luuiiulhieuts ( b » tb , in pvincipia and datail ) agreed upon by this nieiiti-. ig . "— 'Ciirritid . '
atr . Benjamin Knowles seconded tbb amendment . " ' ... : -Mr . Baer then replied On the w ^ ble question , and went into a detail of the circumstances connected wi ' . h tha bill from tho first commencement of its formation , the reasons which had Jed to it , the measures adopiod "with regard to it , and the conduct of the- Magistrates and Town Council after tho amendments introduced by the vestry meetings . Ho gave hia own candid opinion that yrith those amendments the bill < jouldrios pass Parlianient ; this was also the opinion of the Parliamentary agent , of his friend Mr Eddison , the Town Clerk , and he would ask , without knowing his opinion at all—h © would ask Mr . ' Naylbr , the clc-rk ' to the commissioners , what his opinion was upon the question . Mr . Naylor # avo a concurrent opinion .
Mr . 13 akr continued , and aiter arguing against proceeding with the bill a-i it had been amended , he concluded by again reading his resolution , upon which he was determined to take the sense of the meeting . ¦ ¦ . '¦ . . .. The Chairman then put the amendment and the original resolution to tho meeting , and the former was carried by an overwhelming majority , amidst grcut chestingt ' - ¦ Mr . Barr aiiuounced thai he should not distract the pariah by demanding ^ poll , though he had the power to do so . Mr . ' . Jo . su . ua .
