< rf noble blood , that we are aot indifferent to their many acts of injustice to the tried friends of the working classes , but more especially Fro * t , Jones , and Williams . "—It was also resolved— " That a box be purchased by the Cnarus ' . a of this locality , expre ? sly for the purposs of rnising a- subscription * gaiD 3 t the ielease of our tried and fikithful friend , Feargns O'Connor , E-sq ., from York Castle .

Henry Ross proposed a resolution to the effect— " That the only effectual way of removing the existing abases , was by extending the franchise to every man of twenty-one
years of age , and of sound minu . Mr . Ross then taid that the speeches of the preceding speakers had expressed the sentiment contained in his resolution , and tha ; he considered he should not be out of order by moving the resolution . -Mr . Hine seconded the rio . lution , and , in the course of his observations , said the pec pie wanted their Charter , and the fact was th ^ y rnuet have it ; which was received with great applause . At this period of the proceedings the Chairman ard & few others attempted to burke the procediijg resolution . A person niored the th&iiks of tLe meeting tt the Chairman , which , being seconded , the Chairman left his seat , without having put Mr . R > ss ' s resolution to the meeting ; upon which Mr .

As the worthies of the league ( uaving already been defeated three times by tha working men proposing amendments ) commenced ihi'ir pioeccdini , ' without having the temerity of
proposing a caalrisan , thinking tn « £ the Chartists vronld not therefore interfere , they showed that they ' were not to be gulled in tb .-. c manner ; and de- i tercimed to put a resolution to the meeting , pledging ' ^ hem not to countenance any agitation , short ofj Uuivc-rsal SufL-a ^ e , and the principle contained in the People ' s Charier , which Mr .

He cnallenged the j i-. ctur ? r to o \ iQn discussion on the point . At , \ t : is part of tne proceedings , the worthy lecturer ' lo = t hi = temper , and made use of a striking argu- ' ment , by knock : ; ig his ( Mr .

it should ba th « deaxesV blow he fcver struck ; for h < - would follow him to all parts of the metropolis , anil j move amendments .

presentation , who has this day , by post , informed us , that he has presented and supported it , and says , that he wishes that every town in the kingdom would petition against it , as the House is going into Committee on it . on March the 8 th . Sir , I am persuaded that if means were adopted similar to those taken by our friend , that an immense number of petitions might be poured into the House from the agricultural districts , which would , perhaps , have more weight th&M coming from manufacturing districts . We could get a great number from oar own vicinity had we time and the means ; the country people want leaders . "

WARSUNGrTON . —Judging from a communication which we haYe receired , we suppose the cause to be getting well on here . BltSTON . — ( Staffordshire )—Public Meeting and Tea Party . —A public nueting was held in the large room of the Bird-in-Hand Inn , Bilaton , on Monday last , t « which Mr- George White was invitei ? . Several friends from Wolverhampton attended and assisted in the business . . At five o ' clock the room waa well filled , when the business commenced by Mr . Mogg , of Wolverhampton , being unanimously called to the chair . He gaid that the present meeting was called for the purpose ot forming a National Charter Association in the important and populous town of Bilston . The time had now arrived when , it became
the imperative duty of all real Chartists to ergamse . He , therefore , hoped that the men and women of BUiton would'do their duty ; as a tea party and ball was also to be held oa this occasion , and as their frienda , White and Taylor , vrere present , he would conclude by introducing the lecturer for tae district , Mr . Dean Taylor . The worthy and talented lecturer then proceeded at some length , and , with his usual energetlo eloquence , to lay bare the present unjust system , exposed in an able manner the hypocrisy of pretended Christians , and delivered a long tirade of invective against tho parsons who fleece their flocks ,
instead of protecting them . He denounced their hollow deception in continually preaching about the soul , when the bodies of thousands were falling into premature decay , through want of the common neces saries of life ; and concluded his address amid hearty cheers . The Chairman then rose to introduce Mr . Qm . White . He taid he need say Tery little with regard to him , as he was already well-known to the Chartists , aa one of those who ha 3 suffered imprisonment for his principles . He felt great pleasure in introducing him to the meeting . Mr . White , oa making his appearance , was heartiiy greeted by the meeting . He addressed them ns fellow-suffUteM and feitoir-aiaves .
As his worthy friend , Taylor , had given them an able address on spiritual things , he would turn his attention to the temporal side of the question , and endeavour to give a good and substantial reason , why every one then present should be a member of the National Charter Association . He then went on to shew the manner in which the working classes of this country were robbed of the fruits of their industry ? by and under a pretext of law , which laws were forced on them by men who did no manner of work , and ¦ whose whole lives were spent in the invention of new mod ' s of torturing the useful portion of society . He then explained the power which the working classes possessed to rid themselves of the intolerable grievance , and pointed out the uselessness of expecting men who
were living by the rottenness of the system to give their cordial assistance in gainin ? the Charter . He maintained that all working men , who stood aioof from the present movement , were the real tyrants of society , as it was through their culpable neglect and apathy th * t tyranny had its bxisteuce . He continued for a while to shew the necessity of a firm and determined union amongst the people , and sat down repeatedly clu-ered . At eight o ' clock tea -was served np in excellent style , and did great credit to the feaiales engiigcd in that part of the business ; after which dancing commenced , and was kept up for an hour with great glee and spirit , the gentlemen from 'Wolvtrhiimptoa taking an active part At this stago of the proeesdiugB , a highly iutelligent female , named Langston , arose and
addressed the company in a neat and exceedingly clever manner , shewing tht-m the necessity of discontinuing the ball , for the purpose of allowing those who had not bten there at the opening of the proceedings , an opportunity of kearii ;? Messrs . White and Taylor . Tuts was assented to by the meeting . Mr . White then addressed tee females ' on the benefits that would accrue to them by a good system of government being established , and showed them many reasons why females should tako an interest in the present struggle for freedom . Mr . Dean Taylor also addressed the meeting in an animated speech , and was applauded by the meeting . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . Mogg , for his conduct in the chair , to which he replied in an appropriate manner . Three cheers were sriveu for
the Charter , three for Feargus O'Connor , lhree for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for the incarcerated Chartists ; alter which upwards of thirty members were enrolled in the National Charter Association . Several young O'Connor's were hoid up in the nibeting , their mothers declaring their determination to g » to York oa the day ot Mr . O'Connor ' s liberation . Dancing then commenced , and was kept up for the remainder of the evening . The Chartist National Anthem was sung at the conclusion , and the compauy retired delighted with the proceedings . It ia confidently expected that these districts will , ere long , occupy a proud position in freedom ' s ranis . The people of Staffordshire are well p ! eassd with the plan of organisation laid down by the National Charter Association .
BIRIGINGHAM . —Ciulutist Tea Party and Ball . —The Committee fur conducting this entertainment are busily engaged providing for the comfutt of tuoie who may attend ; as a great pottiou of the tickets are disposed of , it was determined to place the remainder in the ha . nd . i of Sir . Quest , Stoelbouae Lane ; Uie Committee ! therefore , request thoae who intend purchasing to do s j early on Monday , in order to prevent confusion . Great Public Meeting . —As the objections which
hava beta held by several in thia town regarding the legality ot the National Charter Association , have been removed by the delegate meeting at Manchester , it has been determined to hold a public meeting at Hollo way Head , on Mondav next , the chair to be taken at twelve o ' clock , when it is hoped all real Chartists will attend .
