: ' LONDON . Mbtbopolitan Djsthiot Council , ] , ¦ Turnagainlane , ; -Skinuer-street , SnowJiill , December 15 , Mr . Mylne in the chair . ' —Mr . James Arnotfc moved the foflofving address , which was unanimously adopted : — An Address from the Metropolitan District Council to the Working Men of London < xnd its vicinity , who have been , but , are not at present , members of the National Charter Association . Fellow Working Men ,- * -You , with whom we have acted ; you , who have heretofore been our fellow-labourers in the glorious cause of political redemption ; you , whose professions had almost led us to believe that your very existence was bound up in the success
of our righteous cause ; we address you , not in the spirit of vindictiveness : we address you with brotherly affection , and ask , what is the cause of the stolid apathy , of the death-like torpidity that now Srevails among you ? Is it that our wrongs arc reressed ? Is it that our just demands have been conceded ? Are we now well fed , well clothed , contented , and happy ? Are we yet fully and fairly represented ? Have we a just , wise , merciful , and food government ? No ; we say emphatically , no . ' erhaps some of you have come to the determination to sit down with folded arms , in contented slavery ; to see yourselves despised , neglected , abused , oppressed , amid the scoffs and jeers of your oppressors ; those who are surrounded with all the luxuries that
unbounded wealth and power can command , whilst you , the industrious bees , from whom all wealth springs , are reduced to destitution , want , and misery , caused by political degradation and the want of legislative power . You have ceased your efforts—you no longer labour to emancipate yourselves and your order from thraldom and slave-like degradation . Perhaps you have doubts as to the efficiency of the Charter , when enacted , to produce the good results Laboiir ' s sons were wont to anticipate . If such doubts exist , we , point your attention to the blessings abounding in those countries where the people have had the good sense to adopt the principle contained in the Peoples ' Charter . Alter a long , careful , and deliberate study of the Peoples' Charter , we still cling to the belief that that document is the most simple , yet most em " - i I ± 1 I a I I T / V . 1 nt uocumnii lam Dctore tne
* ce , political , ever people ; that it is the'lever by which they will obtain political power— " equal rights , and equal laws . " We have stated that many of you . have taken an active part in our movement . We thought you sincere ; we thought you the staunch advocates of liberty , truth , and justice ; and that , like ourselves , you were the implacable enemies of misrule . We are still at our posts , with the same determination glowing in our breasts , still resolved never to rest satisfied until the Charter shall become the law of the land . Hut where are you f We ask you , have you done your duty as . brothers and as men ? (" an you , as patriots , behold with calm indifference the murky and portentous atmosphere which now overhangs this misgoverned and oppressed nation ? Can you tamely view the
ruin" vi tulv lawless force with guilty s tride Spreads desolation far and wide ?" Can you , as fathers , valuing the destiny of your offspring , take a glance prospectively with complacency or satisfaction ? Convinced as you are that Class Legislation is the cause of existing evils , and persuaded as we are that ours is the only effectual instrument to crush the hydra-headed monster , we call on you to put away your apathy—to east aside your lethargy—to arouse yourselves , and again unite . Let all past disagreeable circumstances be forgotten .
Rally once more round the standard of Democracy give your support to our honest , faithful , and assiduous Executive . Enrol yourselves in the National Charter Association . We have now that bright luminary , the Northern Star ,- shining with increased splendour among us . Let us second the noble , patriotic , and unceasing exertions of its indomitable proprietor . Let unity of action and concentration of purpose be your prevailing characteristic . If you would receive your fair proportion of the wealth you create—if you would that the many govern the few , and not the few the many—if you would be powerful aii'd free , you must unite !
Come now , let all unite , We will the Charter gain ; And free our own—our native land , From slavery ' s palling chain . ' Throw discord to the winds—united nici-t tin * foe ; Know ye not who wouldvbe free , themselves must strike the blow ? On behalf of the Council . Jons Mvl . ve , Chairman , ! John Simpson , Treasurer , John Aunott , Secretary .

Tory Government , the former declared that a Repeal of the Union would be both right and useful , but the latter contended that it would be neither . Who , then , was to decide ( I gave it as my opinion that right was always useful , and that nothing short of making right the rule of action in society could keep society itself together . Mr . Miles complained that I had confounded political with social and moral rights . He did not mean that . I , on the other hand , adopted the maxim laid down by Lord Ashley in the House of Commons , that , " what was morally right could not be politically wrong , "" and vice versa , " what was morally wrong could not be politically right . " The debate was carried on in the most friendly manner , and the meeting
broke ud in good spirits . On the following evening ( Tuesday ) I lectured again in the same place , on " the rights and duties ot Capital and Labour . " The veteran democrat , Mr . Archibald M'Donald , late of Aberdeen , ably filled the chair . The meeting was numerous and attentive . At the close Mr . Miles moved the thanks of the meeting to me , for my lectures ; which being carried , I set to work at the enrolment , and had the gratification of organizing a splendid body of real out-and-out democrats . I am happy in being able to state that Chartism stands upon a real solid foundation in Dundee , all seeming to vie with each other in pushing the cause . On
Wednesday * I started tor Arbroath , and in the evening lectured to a good audience , in an excellent hall , the property of the Chartist body . The subject of my discourse was " Capital and Labour . " I succeeded after my lecture in forming a promising locality of the National Charter Association . On Thursday , I visited Forfar , but had no meetin g ; I however ' , organized a few of the good spirits , and on Friday started for Montrose , where I lectured on that and the following evening . Neither of the meetings were very numerously attended , but those who did meet were of the right stamp , and pledged themselves to do all in their power to assist us in the good work . —Thos .

[ SHEFFIELD . Kio-Tkkk Lave ! — Ou Sunday evening Mr . II . Ottley delivered a lecture in the above room to a highly attentive auditory ; the subject of the lecture being the " The { condition of Labour in Anlcrica and England . " jHe entered at great length into the constitution and laws of America , contrasting them with our " glorious" institutions in " Church and State , " m a ; pleasing and instructive manner . After a few remarks from Mr . West , a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , and the meeting separated . Hall of Science . —On Sunday evening Mr . Isaac Ironsides lectured ! on the " Right of Trades Unions to be compulsory . j' There was a very large attendance . Mr . Ironsides at great length entered iiito the points in dispute between the manufacturers and the workmen , an ; d gave great satisfaction .
Visit of the Corn Law League to Rotiierhamand S heffield . —On 'Monday , Richard Cobden , Esq , and R . R . R . R . Moore , Esq ., visited Rotherham , for the purpose of bringing before the dissociation , thfe' intended operations of the League in placing forty shilling freeholders on the registry for the West Riding of Yorkshire . Application had been made to the magistrates by Thomas Badger , Esq ., for the use of the Court-house for the occasion , and Colonel Fullerton , on the part of the magistrates , returned the following answer : —i" That the Court-house would be engaged on that dayiby the magistrates , who were as anxious to maintain ( the laws as Cobden and the League were to pull them ) down . " After applying at several other places with ; like success , they were constrained
to hire a club robm in the " Three Cranes" public house , where the honourable member for Stoekport , and Rory O'Moore related the "Sing Song tale " ( which seems to be going the round of the country ) to a select few ofitheir dupes . The-whole aflair was "flat , stale , and ] unprofitable . " In the evening the gentlemen visited Sheffield , where the " Leaguers " h » d made great preparations to receive them—all the known Free-traders in the town having been waited on and served with " cii-culars" , there being uo announcement of the meeting , save a paragraph in the Independent . j At half-past six o ' clock the doors of the Music Hall were thrown open , when we discovered a whole hwsse of policemen , taking the
circulars as the parties presented themselves , ' and a Mr . " Jaekey" VVardlo acting tho part of Inspector , to sec that none but the " right sozt" were admitted . At seven o'clock ! the deputation made their appeaz--ance , accompanied by the committee . The chair was taken by Edwartl Smith , Esq ., who opened the business by observing that it was strictly a Free-trade meeting , as proper steps had been taken to admit none but friends , ; and if any othur were iu the-room , it must be by circulars that were addressed to other people ; but they had taken the necessary precautions to maintain oitjer , and he , therefore , expected he would have but little to do but to sit and hear .. the gentlemen who [ would now address them . "After
apologising for the absence of Mi * . Bright , who was detained in London , but whose place was well supplied by their warm-hearted Irish friend , R . R . Moore , Esq ., he introduced Mr . Cobden to the meeting . [ It is useless to give a report of Mr . Cobden ' s speech , as he-has delivered the same to our knowledge , without . one additional new sentence , at lludderstield , Leeds , and Covent ( iardeni It would be as well to have it stereotyped and icirculated , and thus save the honourable fmember much time in travelling , and the League und ^ much expense . ] At the conclusion of Mr . Cobden ' s speech , printed cards , with the following inscription — " 1 have a desire to possess a qualification jfor the West Riding of Yorkshire . Xanie- ^ Residence " —were circulated among the meeting , to be filled up , in order that they iniglrt know how many new voters . they were likely to » jet . After about half an hour , the chairman announced that he had got seventv , which , with promises lit had received before , would make a hundred , which was a very good start . [ We were informed that there were but four out of the hundred who were not already qualified , and on the register ; but there is nothing like ; i' / . ] The next speaker was R . R . It . ll . Moore , Esq . We had been often told that this gentleman was a great favourite with the ladies and that but few could pick their pockets with so good a grace as he . We are not inclined to dispute this , if the remark be true " that ladies delight in listening to soft nothings ; " for of all the displays of balderdash and rigmarole that it has been our lot to listen ' to , Rorv ' s was the "father of- them
all . ' " Save ah age , " but didn ' t he spake " mighty grand intirdy !'; ' and when lie came to discourse of the condti ion of the agricultural labourers , didn ' t he cry in " rale earnest ; " and when he pulled out his cUme handkerchief to blow his nose , we could not help thinking that he had descended from the real " Keenthaughawns , " or else that he was intimately related to someiof the " chief mourners" who were present at the jwake of " Teddy Roe . " When the trying was over , Rory tried his hand again with the "ladies , " telliiig them that they could not leg any more this year , ! but they were going to have a bazaar in Corent-garden , and they must go to work , and either by lieggjing or borrowing furnish them with something handsome from Sheffield to recruit their funds , and enable them to carry on the holy war . After some routine business , the meeting separated . — (' a-i :-s )> cnidciit .

The speaker lixed ijiunovnbly the attention of " the assemblage for upwards of an hour and a \ uAt \ demonstrating the utter | wortlilessness of the projects proposed by the factions for the removal of national grievances , ami proving tli . it until the people are invested with political poweif , their best interests will fall a sacrifice to tke ruthless ; marauders of labour .

" I occupied nbout two hours in reviewing the state of that country . At the c ose of the lecture Mr . Miles attempted to negative one of nty propositions , viz . : —" . That tho people of Ireland had a right to a Repeal of the Union . " He
denied that there was any such tiling at all in existence as right , ! arguing that a ! t right was measured by and founded upon utility . In support of his position , he quoted Lord John Russell on the presentation of the first National Tetition , also 1 ' aley and David Hume . In reply , I contended , that if there was no such thing asjriqht then there could be no such thing as u-rontj , and that Mr . Miles was not justified in complaining of the present system , andif wtf % were to be taken-as the standard of right , I wished to know who was _ to be the judge as to what reaUv was useful .
