BIBMiKGHAM , IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF THE CHARTISTS . A crowded meeting of the Chartists of this town was held at the Black Horse Inn , Prospect-row , on Tuesday evening last . The meeting wa 3 called by circular and by public notice at the various meetings for the previous fortnight , for the purpose of enabling the friends of Chartism , and justice , and good oredr to confer together on the best plan for organizing and consolidating Chartist strength in Birmingham . The call was nobly responded to , and at the time appointed the lajge room was crowded , a number having to remain outside the door .
Mr . Peter Hknlet was called to the chair , and said that it had often been his lot to preside over various meetings , bat he felt tbet to ba the most important tha-t he had ever attended . They had met that evening to devise the best plan which their united judgment was capable of concocting , in order to consolidate and extend their power in Birmingham . He , therefore trusted that each individual present would enter on the subject with a friendly dispo 3 ition and an ardent desire of forwarding the cause of liberty . He then called on Mr . George White to read an address to tbe people of Nottingham , which wa » ordered to drawn up at- the Astonstr * et meeting , on the previous evening . Mr . White read the address , which was received wiih loud cheers . Air . Wilkisson proposed aud Mr . Fussell seconded its adoption , and it was carried uuauimonsly .
Mr . Thospe then brought forward a motion to the effect that no member should bo allowed to introduce personalities during the di 5 cus » ion that evening . It wa 3 opposed by Mr . Williamson , aud withdrawn on the suggestion of Mr . Mason , the question being left in the hands of the Cnairman . Mr . AUson then read a , lenj ^ hy address-from the acting Council in Birmingham , which contained a general description of the state of the cause and suggested several measures which the Council thought necessary to be adopted .
Mr . White then addressed tho meeting , aud exp lained the necessity of a body of energetic and inteiliiccr . t mea being selected to watch over the Chanist- caus 3 , and givs counsel aud advice to the Ch » riist 3 on a . il occasions . He said that few towns " were placed in such a position as BurmiugUaai , as through the iaa-chinaiions cf the old poliuoal unL . n party , and other professing Chartisrs aad tnam Reformers , there was always some iatti ^ ninj ; m order to create divisions and distru . 't , k was therefore necessary tuat socie means should be adopted to ket-p
a watchful eye on the people ' s interests , and extend their po ' . vp . r , as he knew that the Chartists of Birmingham would prove an ali-powerful body if ttiey couid oiiiy concentrate their energies . Ha then referred to the pretended Chartists , who said tht-y oniy objected to O'Connor and the other violent leaders , and not to the Caarter itself , and showed various other reasons for appointing a Directing Council , who would take care to rai 3 e up an allpowcrful body of sound Chartists , and oppos ; tho machinations of all mere pretenders . He . would therefore move the fo'lo ' . rms ; resolution .
Tnat a directing council be now appointed to consist o : " Sve persons , and that they bo irapowcred to perform the following duties , viz : —To assemble to ^ t-tber fro ra time to tiine , and consult together en tbe posiuc-j of tbe cause in Birmingham , and aiter due deliberation to lay before the various councils the plaiiS which they tinnk necessary—the same Co he anerwards brought before the naeinber 3 by the councils , to be either approved of or rejected by them . Tha : tho directiug couucil be also empowered to act in all cases of emergency , such as pruvidiug a room ior a lecture , getting om placards , aud making arrangements for opposing any meeting where the
interests of the people are attacked , but that they shall not be allowed to handle any money belonging to the Association . That they make arrangements for holding put-lie meetings in various parts of tbo town , providing lecture rooms , getting up tracts , iaying out collecting Districts , and superintending tbe managements which axe considered necessary to the establishment of pure Char ^ sin in the town and neighbourhood , aud ai the same time keep a watchful eye on the district as lar ^ e . Thai they repor ; once a month to a meeting called for that purpose , aud be authorised to act ior three nionth- =, at tho expiration of which time another election shall take place . "
Mr- White wished that to be added to the plan read by Mr . Mason , and if it was agreed to , it would , he had no doubt , enable them to be unanimous . The Chairman enquired whether Mr . White meant to do away wita the Executive Committee of Birmingham as an aciive body , as he seamed to wish five men elected under a different name . Mr . White replied that he did , as he thought the word " Executive" to be improper , as applied to one town . He aleo thought it would be best to select the directing body at a meetiDg of Chartists like the present . Mr . Williamson and others then addressed tho meeting , and it vf as determined that Mr . Mason's address , arid the propositions attached k > it , fhouli

be discussed separately , and that Mr . Whito ' s resolution should be put afterwards . Mr . Mason then proceeded to read tbe propositions , which were discussed separately . The first , which recommended procuring a commodious place of meeting , was carred unanimously . The second , which recommended itne expulsion of members who absented themselves for three weoks , was rejected . The third , proposing that only one open air meeting should be held in a week , and that the Executive of Birmingham should have the controul over it , was amended , on the motion of Mr . White . The other propositions were agreed to after a warm discussion , in which Messrs . Mason , Thome , Wilkinson , FusBell , Thorpe , Eames , Follows , Weleford , and others , took part . Mr . Fusskll then proposed— "
M That the carrying out of the proposition be entrusted to the Executive of Birmingham , and that lour persons be added to their number . " Mr . White then arose and brought forward his resolution as an amendment , and spoke on the necessity of doing away with the Executive , and substituting a body elected by a Conference of the Chartists generally . , Mr . Mason thought it would be better to allow Mr . Fusseil ' s proposition to pass . A vast deal of discussion followed , the memmembers of che Executive a firming that Mr . White ' s resolution might ba construua into a sort of censure on them , after which they all resigned with the exception of Mr . Fussell .
Mr . White denied any intention of censuring them , and said they would all be liable to be elected as members or the directing council . After a prolonged aebato Mr . White ' s resolution was carried , only two hands being held up against it . The meeting then proceed : d to the olection of five persons to act as directiug council , when , Mr . G-o . White , Mr . John Mason , Mr . Thomas Soar , Mr . J . Wilkinson , and Mr . Saunder ? , were uranimously elected . Messrs . Walter Cooper , Peter Henley , and A . Fassell , were nominated , but declined to ac , t . A vote of thanks waa then given to Messrs . Follows , Corbe ' . t , Heuiey , Lindon , and Fussell , for their
services as the Birmingham Executive . A vote of thanks was also proposed by Mr . White to the wonhy chairman , for his exemplary conduct aud ability at such a warm and animated discussion as tho one just closed . It was carried unanimously with loud app 2 ause . Tho Cnairinan thanked there for that mark of their esteem , and trusted that although they had " of necessity differed in opinion on points brought before them that evening , that they would , like him , leave tho meeting without an ill feeling towards any individual , and be determined to redouble thtir exertions for the Charter . Tiie meeting v ? as then adjourned to that day mouth .
ADDRESS FROM THE CHARTISTS OF BIRMINGHAM TO THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM , Read by Mr . George While , at a 7 inmerous meeting of Chartists , proposed Ly Mr . J . Wilkinson , seconded by Mr . A . Fustcll , and carried unanimously . Flllow Countrymen , —In the midst of the sham fights of dishonest partisans , it is refreshing to see a body of menroally engaged in an endeavour to emancipate themselves from the accursed system which has grown up under tbe odious domination of Whig and Tory factions , who have so long wielded the destinies of this great nation ; for such is the gross and shameless mockery of representation exhibited by ths elections of tho present day , t h a t t h ey are an insalt to common sense , and intteid of being considered as the most important and sacred of men ' s duties , they hava become an intolerable nuisance .
We , the Chartists of Birmingham , bail you as brothers , and desire to add our congratulations to the many others which you have received . You are entitled to the thanks of > he suffering millious for the noble stand which you have made against the usurpers of your rights , and the infamous jobbers who intended to transfer you from one faction to another , as if you were so many sheep . The working men of England havr too long remained dormant , whilst cruel and malignant traffickers in corruption have been allowed to mock their sufferings , at each time that the battle for plunder took place . Too long have we allowed ourselves to be the mere ' shuttlecocks of party , and quietly allowed our families to be plundered and brought to poverty by those public cheats . But the case is now about to be altered . The working men of England are at length beginning to find out the real cause of their sufferings , and are determined to eDjoy the right which is inseparable from man .
Persevere , then in the work which you have so nobly begun , and set an example to tho world of disinteresiednes 3 and love of liberty , and show the traducers of the working classes that you are capable of noble actions , and let tyrants learn through your conduct at the ensuing election , that you are determined to burst the unholy bonds with , which they have bound you , and let the world beheld tho glorious spectacle of an impoverished and down-trodden people , rrjecting with scora the bribes and allurements of thosf : who have robbed you of everything dear to man , and who have carried woe and famine into the homes where , but for their oppressive acts , happiness and plenty would have existed .
Now , now is the time to act yourpart like men resolved on freedom ! Spare no pains in your endeavours to secure the return of Mr . Joseph SiuRGS . Remember that in supporting him you are working out the deliverance of your wives and families from wretchedness and poverty ; Let the CnxKTEabo your watchword—and set at defiance the tricks , sophistry and machinations of those .-who have robbed us of every comfort and made our homes desolate . Relying on your well known zsal , aad energy , and trusting that you will Kobly perform your duty , Wo remain ,
Your brothers in bondage , The Chartists of Birmingham . Petes Henley , Chairman

'se , Esq ., the Chartiat candidate—they being all poor men , and supported by their labour , wtijch tbty run tbe risk of losing by opposing theniselvea to some of the opposite party , and ought to meet w ; tb the assL-tince of tb ; ir patriot brethren and pisters ; we , therefore , more conSdently mate this appeal to their sympathies . Our object as a body ia % o convince the Whig and Tory factions of the soundness
of out policy , in first making use of the Tories to bnry tha Whigs ; and then , by the same process , to smother the Tories . Our brave O'Connor approves of this policy ; and , as ilr . Sturge has publicly pledged himself to maintain our whole principles , if elected , and is one oi the best men taut could have been selected by the men of Nottingham to carry out the parity of " election , having resolved not to expend one penny in Uae usual way of bribery , by direct or indirect weans , those honest working men must be paid for their time and hard labour , in watching the movements of the factions ; and we believe it to be the bouaden duty of all true Chartists to assist in this great , struggle . Therefore , we truBt our appeal will not bo made in vuin for their aid and iasibtaace .

HOME COLONIZATION ; A great public meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , on Wednesday , June 1 st , by the Home Colonization Society , to consider the steps necessary to betaken to avert the ruin of the middle and working classes of society . Mr . Robert Owen was announced to take the chair at half-past seven o ' clock , and by that period the large room of that splendid hotel was well occupied , many of the audience being of the fair sex . Robert Owen , on his arrival , was greeted with considerable cheering and waif immediately moved to the chair . " ¦/ : . /; -. /; : '¦ ' . \ ¦ ¦ ¦' ' 0- .. " . ;¦ ' .: ¦ ¦ - ¦ ' ; :.. ¦ - ¦ - " '; ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' , ¦ - . ¦ ¦ . ' :: ¦ ¦ ¦ " Several resolutions approbatory of the Home Colon ! - zation System , with an address and memorial to the Crown were adopted . ^ ^ The meeting waa addressed with much pathos and eloquence by the Chairnian , and by Messrs . L . Jones , A . Campbell , G . A . Fleming , Buchanan , and others .
Mr . FuRZENmoved as an amendment to one of the resolutions , ' ' That fall justice will never be done to the people until they are fairly represented In the House of Commons . " Several individuals addressed the meeting , wishing it to be moved as a substantiTe resolution . A person in the meeting having seconded the amendment , it waa put and negatived by a large majority . Perhaps the principal and most important feature of the meeting was the speech of ' . ,- ¦ : Y Dr . Sleigh , the well known Tory pro-Corn Lw lecturer , who stated ^ that although he differed in opinion from the gentlemen who had addressed them , aiul from their hononraWe chaiiman , yrt no man respected his exertions mpre than he : did . Having
taken an active part in returning the present Ministry to power , he took , this first public oppdrtunity of expressing bis disapprobation at the callousness' of heart wbicb they evinced towards their suffering countrymen ; at the hustings they pledged tbemselves , arid he pledged himself , in their names , that they would adopt immediate measures permanently to benefit the working classes . They had violated this pledge ; tliey were continuing on the people of this country that horrible curse , the new Poor Law , and that stiJl more infernal measure the Infant Factory Bill . He was ashamed of bis instrumentality iu assisting to return such men . It bad taught him this lesson , that no permanent good could be tffeoted anfcil the people were fully , fairly , and freely represented ,- ^ - (
tremendons cheeriagi)—and he was willing to go forward to tho death in advocating the rights of the people . What remedy had Sir Robert Peel proposed , tut Such ab would bo sure to bring still greater miseryupon them ? His ( Sir H . Peel's ) income-tax ' would rnin the already impoverished ehopkeopera and his plausible tariff scheme wonld pwarop us with foreign compotitioH , and would hurry to destitution the honest British artisan . Ho was confident that this subject couid not be clearly understood by the working people of this metropolis ; or they would arise and in a voice of thunder declare they would not be ruined to save the pockets of an interested few . He could tell them that many high and influential peigf ns were only waiting ta see the men of the metropolis come out and back them , and they Would declare boldly for them . He had been in conversation that
very day with a person high in authority , who adked why the " men ' of London did not come boldly out , fox what ? why for full , fair , and free representation ^ - ( cheers . ) Ho would take that opportunity of informing them that an Influential society was about being established for that purpose ; it was now his firm belief that until the people had a voice in the legislature they would never' hold up their heads in society , nor be able to protect themselevea from unfeeling landowners and grinding miilocrats , who , under-the garb of Christianity has done more to produce scoptism than all the evils combined . Ho thanked , thfiitt Cot the manaei in which they had heard him ; he ehould not have intiuded himself but ha could not avoid this opportunity of retractine his previous sentiments and conduct which he had discovered to be detrimental to the interests of the conn try—( cheers . )
