BINGI « EY . —SYMPTOMS OF U . MOX BETWEEN the Middle and WOB . KLSG Classes . —( Received too ! ale for our last . )—It being annonnced that Mr . O'Connor would visit Bingley on Wednesday last , a strong desire to see and hear their undaunted champion induced many of the factory ¦ workers to apply to the millowners , requesting them to stop their millaforthe afternoon . This , with one or two Whig exceptions , was kindly granted . Sut on the morning of Mr . O'Connor ' s arriyal , the pious and liberal owneM of one large manufactory , posted up written notices within their mills to the following effect : ¦— " That any weaver , overlooker , or other workman , absenting themselves after the usual time , or leaving the mill to see Mr . O'Connor , would be iustantlv discharged ; adding , that
if * Feargus * could provide better for them , then they dhe woTk peoplej were at liberty to go with him . " Suanisthe well known tyranny of these free-trading ; gentry , that the liandB dared Dot to disobey thiB order . j When Mr . 0 Connor arrived , however , an attempt was : made by some of the females to force an egress , but in j this tbey were disappo i nted , as their kind masters j had considerately taken the precaution to lock the doors , and keep them in . Mr . O'Connor , however , did not ¦ fail , in the course of his address , to give them a well-¦ ¦ merited castitration . After the address , the procession proceedsd p ; . "St the factory prisons , when a glorious ^ . sicht presented itself : the whole of the iron-grated ' -windows of the factories bains crowded wirh young ¦ women , peering throcgb the gates ; and , in defiat . ee of
; the tyrants , cheering on the procession . It should also ¦ be stated that about the time of Mr . O'Connor ' s entering the town , through some accident to the machinery , the mill was obliged to 03 stopped for a considerable ; time , upon which some of the hands applied for per-¦ mission to go out , but were told that if the mill should \ never run again , yet they should not go till the usual ! time of stopping . Englishmen J this is liberty . ' Your ! -srives sad daughters are to be placed at the disposal of - such laen as ttiete , to be locked up , and kept as prisoners ! This is middle class , cheap-loaf sympathy ! •' ¦ These are the men who , at ihe last election , forced out ; their hands tj go in procession , ( decked in yellow , and ' carrying the big loaf , ) to meet the Whig candidates ! : These are they whr > , on seeing their party defeated at
the election , purchmed a number of tracts , advocating C Jriiplete Suffrage , which they distributed through the ' m \ U 5 . declaring that the Suffrage was the only thi > g - which could gei them a Repeal of the Bread Tax ' These are a glorious specimen of those kind friends to ; liberty , who have btten soliciting us to unite with - thfm . Bnt what say yon , working raen ? Shall -we aeiin resign ourselves into tbe hands ef these tyrants , I to be locked within their infernal , marderous rattle-; boxes , when they shall think fit ? Shell we assist
them to extend a system like this ? Assist them to baild more of these living tombs—assist them to add yet another link to our chain ? Shall we nnite with them acain for this ? Never , Brother Chartists , let ua be agaiu led astray-, But let \ is trustto out own orderlet tjs r . ot forsake one iota of our princ i ples for tbe sake of cainiDg the assistance (?) of such tyrants a 3 these . L . t us leave them to the tender mercies of the Income Tax .- and the system which themselves have creates !; and let us still persevere in the straight and consistent road of principle ; and ultimately we shall bring the day when , in the language of the poet , we shall be enabled to

O'Connor arrived in t ' . is city by railway ,-when the members of the National Charter Association , with a band of music and banners , together with many hundreds of citizens , assembled % o welcome his arrival . The moment he made Lvls appeaiance the band struck up , and the assembled multitude rent the air with their cheers . A procession was formed and proceeded with Mr . O Connor to the Market-place , where the hustings were erected . On arriving at the spot the spacious Market place appeared ts be one densely crowded mass of human beings . Mr . Barley was called to tbe chair ; and in a brief address congratulated them on the
glorious display t J ; ey had made , and on the progress of Chartism in York , and concluded by introducing Mr . Corduix , who moved the adoption of the Remonstrance , which was seconded by Mr . Halton . Mr . O'Connor then came forward and addressed them for upwards of an hcttr . He was listened to with the most marked attenticB , and was iCTuiiy and enthusiastically cheered ut the conclusion . Toe " Kenionstrance '" was then pnts . n » f carried TraeninicuBTy . After a vcte of thanks to Mr . 0 'Ct-nr . op and to the Chairman , the meeting broke up highly delighted with the proceedings of the evening . Mr .

BEWSBURY .-Ou Thursday the 7 th instant , the peGpie of DiWibury were honoured with a visit from Mx . O Cussor . As soon as the news reached the town tL&t he was coming , the song of toil set about in search of a large room ; but all to no purpose , because it was for the Chartiits . At leDgth they . succeeded in getting the Cloth Hall , which is capable ef holding only about oa = thouanri pr-rsons . Bills were immediately printed and posted all over the dittiict ir . forming the people that Mr , O'Connor would arrive in town by eight o ' clock , and that a procession would be formed to
welcome him . Owing to the Wet state of the night and Mr . O Concur coming into town sooner than was txpr ; ct *; d , the procession did not take place . Two bands cf music paraded tbe principal streets , with thousands tf people , until they cime to Mr . T . S . Brooke ' e , where ^ 1 t . O Connor joined them , and walked in procession w ; : h them to the Cloth Hall , which was crammed in a few minutes to suffocation . The rain at this time had abated , when on a motion moved by Jaaies Fox the meeting adjourned to the Market Cress , which was received with gladness by : J 1 in the room , as the room was tmly snffocating . When Mr . O'Connor reached the Cross , the cheering was great . Mr . T . S . Brook was eJlfcd to the etair , who introduced Mr . O'Connor to tr . e meeting in a short address .

Falvef , from Macclesfleld , on Wednesday and Thursday evenings , July the 6 th and 7 tb , in the Methodist School , a room capable of holding upwards of one thousand people , and after each lecture etfscussion was particularly invited , aad th : it equal time would be allowed the disputants . The Chartists got one of the placards just when it came from the press the night before , and they agreed to get some one from Manchester to comply with its particular request . Accordingly they got that staunch advocate of the people ' s rights , Mr . Christopher Doyle . On the
first night the room was not quite full , in consequence of the shortness of tbe notice , ; and it not being known whether there would be any opposition or not . Rober t Hyde Buckley , Esq ., manufacturer , was unanimously appointed chairman ; one of the most impartial men we ever saw . M r . Falvey lectured about one hour and a quarter , In the coarse of which he Bhowed that be was an able and eloquent man , and one that was capable of appealing to the passions of his audience with success , but however it was no go , the ChartiBta were not to be deluded . Mr . Dayle got up to reply , and was received with applauae that made tho League men look rather pale , showing them that more than threefourths of the meeting were Chartists . Mr . Doyle was allowed three quarters of an hour in reply , in the
course of which he was repeatedly cheered . Mr . Falvey had another three quarters of an hour , making altogether about two hours , which was a great advantage over Mr . Doyle , who had only three < quarters of an hour to go into bo important and extensive a subject The eloquence of Mr . Falvey in his last spsfccb , and Mr . Doyle having Btated that he doubted whether he should be able to come the next evening , raised the Bpirits of the Lsagne , and they seemed rather triumphant . In the course of the next Jay several of the League offered to lay a wager that Mr . Doyle durst not come in the evening ; bnt , to their mortification , Mr . Doyle came again . B . H . Buckley , Esq ., was appointed chairman again , and after Mr . Doyle had had some discussion with Mr . Falvey and the League , it was agreed
that Mr . Falvey should have an hour for his lecture , and Mr . DDyle an hour in reply , and that each should have a quarter of an hour afterwards , which they occupied to thebest of their abilities , by keeping to the subject , and without making personal attacks upon each other , while the meeting retained a general good feeling ; there were no manifestations of hostility , a » squabbles or uproars , but all passed off in the best possible manner , except when Mr . Joseph Hall , a Chartisi , got up to move the following resolution ;—' " That it is tbe opinion of this meeting that the Corn Laws are obnoxious ; but are only one of the many complicated and grievous evils tho population of the British Empire justly complain of , and we are of opinion that even-handed justice never will be dealt
out squally to the king and the beggar , till that worst of all monopolies is destroyed—the monopoly of toe suffrage . We therefore p ' edge ourselves never to cease our exertions till the People ' s Charter becomes the law af the land . " This , however , did not suit the palates of the League , and they opposed it in the best manner they could ; but it was seconded , and the chairman , like an impartial man , pat it to the meeting , when nearly all the hands in the room were held up ; but when it was put to the contrary , the League declared that they did not vote ; a very good reason why , but for that they would not have had forty hands hold up against it . A vote of thanks was proposed to the chairman , for his impartial conduct in the chair , which was carried by acclamation , and the . meeting separated highly delighted .
LEICESTERSHIRE . —The Chartists of North and South Leicestershire held a central camp meeting , last Sunday , at the picturesque village of Mountsorrel . The site of the meeting was a most delightful one . A ledge of rock , about thirty feet above tha grass , formed a natural platform for the speakers ( Messrs . Cooper and Beedhara , of Leicester , Skevington and Jarratt , of Loughborougb , and Pepper , of Normanton ) , \ white masses of porphyritic granite , older than the Alps , Btretching sixty or seventy feet upwards , W 6 re filled with human beings , who thus formed a natural gallery for listening to the great truths of democracy and Christianity , and with the thousands covering the greensward formed an assemblage of an uncommon character . From five to seven thousand auditors were thus collected ,
and transfixed with earnest attention around the advocates of Chartism . At different intervals , duriDg the day , a delegate meeting held its sittings , and canvassed the desirableness of forming the whole county into one active organised body . The following resolutions were passed at one ef the earlier sittings : — " That , for the great purpose of organising Chartist localities throughout Leicestershire , we , the delegates of a provisional meeting composed of deputies from North and South Leicestershire , do hereby recommend that the two divisions of the shire be united , and form one county Chartist union . " " That Messrs . Cooper , Skeyington . and
Crow be a committee for preparing a plan of organisation , or a body of rules or regulations , for governing the said County Chartist Union . " " That to receive such plan , or body of rules , and for the transaction of such other necessary business as may arise , a delegate meeting of tbe whole county be assembled at Mr . Cooper ' s room , in Leicester , this day fortnight , that is , on Sunday , tbe 24 th instant , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon . " At a sitting held at a later period , " the general state of English Chartism formed the topic of conversation , and the following resolutions wera passed- ¦ : — " That the National Delegate Meeting , proposed by the Hunt Monument Committee to be holdcn on the , 17 th
of August next , appears to this meeting to be imperatively necessary for the settlement of disputes , for a re-consideration of the plan of organization , and above all , for the adoption of some more vigorous plans for extending our principle than those which the Executive have hitherto acted upon . " " That the Executive be made acquainted witb the conviction of this meeting rtipecticg the necessity of calling the said National Delegate Meeting ; and also that our brethren , In all the localities of the National Charter Association , be urgently requested to co-operate with us in pressing npon the Executive the necessity of summoning the said National Delegate Meeting , to be held in Manchester , on the 3 70 a of August next" " That the foregoing resolutions be sent for insertion in the Star . " Atthe
afternoon and evening meetings , on the rocks , £ l Was collected for Mason ' s fund , and was forwarded by Mr . Cooper to Mr . George White , of Birmingham , the next day . —Mr . Cooper addressed an open-air meeting at Loughborough ; and Mr . Beedham and a party of Leicester friends joined the Chartist tea-party at Thurmaston , on Monday night . On Tuesday night , Mr .
