BIRMXKGBAM . —Mektikg at the Christian Chartist Church , Newhall-Stbee t . —A meeting ¦ was held &t tbia place on TcursdKV , April 8 lh , t o hear & lectnre from Mr . O'NeiL At the clow of the lecture , Mr . John Collins delivered an account of his mission to Binbory and Warwick , -which places he bad -risked for the purpose of opening churches on th « same principles ss that » t Birmingham . When Mr , Collins had conc ;* ded , Mr . George White stood up in the body of the chapel and required permission of tfce Chairman to ask Mr . ONeil a question . Tke Chairman wished to know what the question was before he could giTe his consent . Mr . White replied that it was oce concerning kimselt He understood that Mr , trls ' eil bs / l Charged the agent or correspondent of Mr . O'Connor with being a spy , he therefore demanded of Mr . 07 ? eil who be
meant , as there -was no otb . es paid agent of Mr . O'Connor in Birmingham bit himself . Mr . O'Neil arose in the pulpit &ad stated that he had never made any such charge in public , although he admitted that he did so privately , and at tbe tine he did bo lie had his eye on George White . Mr . White then proceeded to address the meeting . He said that he had been mixed up with the present movement from its commencement , and had been f « r ten years actively engaged in tiia struggle noir being made by tie TTorifcmg classes , for the purpose of effecting their deliverance from the present murderous system , and he defied any man to prove that he had ever deviated a aair ' r-breadth from the honest advscaty of sound Chartist principles . He was at a loss to explain Mr . O'Xeil ' s motives for maiing such a charge , as he had endeavoured , as fax as lay
in his power , to do justice to all parties since his arrival in Birmingham . They had all remembered the meetings which had lately been held at Hollowly Head , and such was his desire to steer clear of party tb _ vt he had been charged by members of the National Charter Association with giving his reports too much in favour of the Christian Chartist Church . But from the bad spirit that existe . 1 amongst them towards the reaUy honest portion of the Chartist body , he was determined for the future to shew them up in their true colours , as there did not seem to be a chance of conciliating them and inducing them to co-operate -with their fellow countrymen . ( Hisses . ) "What did they hiss for . Was that a sample of their Christian charity ? He considered them ts be a parcel of fanatics , and not Chartists or CKristisxs . He wouM appeal to themselves
¦ whether he had not endeavoured to cause a union of all grades of Chartists , whether he had not waited upon them for the purpose ot inducing them to form a part of the National Charter Association ? They had promised to do bo when the Association became legal , and now ti » t it was so they were as much opposed to it as before . What then -were men to think of them ? He defied ilr . OX eil to prove his assertions . He had from the first been a zealous advocate of the people ' s rights , and should continue the same caurse in opposition to all huaVbug or deception . Mr . Hill then arose , and made several enquiries concerning their meetings not being reported in the Star . Mr . White answered that tbeir meetings were not political , and were not calculated to forward the Chattist cause . He , therefore , considered the Coartist body no more interested
in their preaching tbau that of any other religions body . If they formed a political association , and discussed the principles of the Charter , t t e n he sh o uld at tend , but otherwise he should not ( Renewed hisses . ) If that ¦ was Christian Chartism hs stou ' . d teg leave to withdraw and have nothing further to do wilh them . He then left the meeting , ilr . Wbi . Martin arose , _ and requested the chairman to put it to tfce meeting -whether they ¦ w ould hear him . ( Criesof " go on , goon . ') He said he came not there for the purpose of creating discord , but to induce every man who heard him to join the National Charter Association , so as to compel their oppressors to restore to the people theirinalienablerights . His friend , White , had betn attacked In a cowardly manner , and charged with not reporting the proceedings of their Church . He thought 'them very
unreasonable ; for if he gave reparts of their proceedings , he might equally as -well be expected to visit all toe churches and chapels in the town . ( Hisses . ) He did not expect snch treatment as that on his first entrance amongst a body of men calling themselves Chartists and Cariitians . Their conduct was similar to that which he experienced in - NorthaKerton House of Correc tio n , where paor Clayton was murdered , because the language of that place was continual hissing . He ¦ was extremely sorry to find men looking for their emancipation by means so liiely to defeat the object they professed to have in view , and was surprised that a man like Mz . Collins , who had been offered on the altar of persecution , should coincide in the legality doctrine-He could compare that doctrine to nothing else than a drunken man reprobating the publican whom he supported . For whilst they found fault with bad Government , thej would not proceed to counteract its evil effects without first making enquiry of the greatest
supporters of that Government -whether it is legal or not He would ask them what it was that compelled the Whigs to reduce the tax on newspapers ? Was it the legality doctrine ? 2 \ o , it waa the dfctermiced resistance of men who openly avowed their intention to break bad la-vTB , and try ihs poiver of right against might They might preach nni pray as they thought proper , but for his part , although he was one who ha ; I suffered eighteen months' imprisonment , still he was nothing daunted , but was determined to pursue the same course Without fear of consequences ; for . if men were resolved to have their rights , the Whig Government might fill every county gaol "with . Coartist victims , the expense of which would compel tha middle class ( tlwusinds of Whom were on the verge of bankruptcy ) to cry out JainsJit . Why did they call themselves Christian Chartists ? If tiey rtolly wanted the Charter , did they suppose that the eight milJions of Irish Catholics would unite frith men who formed a sect
opposed to their religions views ? The Irish Catholics would look upon them in the same light as they did tfce Bible readers , who received a pound per week for insulting the impoverished inhabitants of tha -wretched huts , and Vforse than Indian , wigwams , in which they ¦ were forced to take Bhelfcr . If , therefore , they intended to have the assistance of the Irish on this great question , theirs was not the proper course for ensuring it : if , on the contrary , they merely sought tceir own benefit , to the exclusion of Ireland , as an Irishman , hs protested agaics : it , tor he knew that his country could only be made free by uniting with the British people for the Charter ; and when he stood on the shores of his native land to
Bound the trumpet of freedom , which he hoped soon to have the pleasure of doins , he -would carefully avoid anything calculated to create religious animosity , and , instead of the Bible , he -woald hold the Charter in his hand , anl invite his countrymen to rally round it He hoped that the men who heard him weuld coneider that , in addition to the Irish Catholics , there ¦ were thousands of the same creed in England : there were also the Jews , Unitarians , and other sects , who might take objection to their views of Christianity . He eonelnded by slating tha :, as the hour yr&s late , he "Would not fnrrher trespass on their time , but should eontent himself by challenging Messrs . Collins or O' ^ eil to discuss the question with him . After a few words from Mr . Collins , the meeting separated . /
THE T 0 "WN has been posted -with bills , signed ' "William Martin , " w h e re i n h e cha ll en g es the prea c h e rs of the Christian Chartist Church to meet him at the Chartist Room , Freeman-Etreet , when he should prove that the new-fangled system of Christian Chartist Churches was calculated to create discord amongst the Chartists of Great Britain .

Triumph of Chartism . —If any pro # f was required to &how the utter falsehood ef- Sir John Campbell's statement , that" Chartism is dead , *¦ the events of the past week have supplied sufficient By the coquetting of the Edinburgh press fer thia week or two back , we expected something , but we 4 id not expect that the Whigs would resort to tha Tory system of 1831-32 by holding hole and corner meetings , yet this is true . On Thursday , placards , headed in the following tempting form , were exhibited : — " Cheap bread "" Sign the petition against the Corn Laws . " Thus proving to a demonstration that the days of " humbug " are pa ss ed aw a y , and that the working classes new
kn » w where ths " shoe pinches , " and it la to be hoped that they-will never rest satisfied until they get new shoes , that will suit them better . If ever a triumph was obtained by the Chartists , this is one . Let us look back to the halcyon days « f Whiggery , when they could b « ast at their meetings that the inhabitants of Edinburgh were for Reform ; and , if the Reform Bill did not pass , " S 0 , 00 # sabres would be drawn—the scabbards thrown away—and they never would be laid aside until the people bad their rights . " Now they dare not meet to discuss any question . "How have the mighty fallen ! " " How have the great become low !"
LANABKSHIRB . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of stratbven , was held on the 8 th instant , in the Rev . Mr . Campbell's Chnreb , for the purpose of considering tbe plan of a Petition Convention , aa laid down by Mr . O'Connor ; several of the leading Whigs of that town attended , no d o ubt , in expectation of picking up something to the disadvantage of Chartism , but who had the mortification to retire after hearing their humbug principles and mischievous party receive a severe castigation from the fearless foe of Whiggery , Mr . Moir , of Glasgow . The National Petition was unanimou s ly agr e ed t o , and measures adopted to have it speedily and as numerously signed as possible . A soiree was held in the Universal Suffrage Hall , at night , where a numerous party of male and female Chartists partook of refreshments , and enjoyed the song and the sentiment to a late hour .
GLASGOW . —A Chartist concer ^ was held in the Christian Chartist Church , last Monday evening ; never was the Church so completely crowded . Mr . John Fraser , of Edinburgh , and his two daughters , along with the MessrJ . Locks , of Glasgow , gave great satisfaction , and the display of their vocal powers elicited the most lively bursts of approbation . A lecture was delivered the following night , in the same place , by Mr . A . Duncan , who denounced in strong and powerful language the present infamous system of misrule by ¦ which £ 0 many innocent vietims were annually sacrificed at the niamnion shrine of the higher and middle classes of society . He concluded by ridiculing the folly of the Chartists , as he expressed it , s nivelli n g , blowing their noses , a nd begg i ng and prayin g at the doors of tha middle classes ; that class is all powerful to do evil , but appears unable to do any good , either for themselves or any other body , or they never would suffer themselves to be plundered by the unequal and unfair system of taxation .
A PCBLIC MEEUXGof tbe inhabitants of &lasgowtpas held in the Chanist Church , on Thursday , the 8 th instant , on the subject of Christian Chartism . Mr . Wright ¦ was called to the chair , when the meeting was eloquently adddressed , in rotation , by Messrs . Walker , Cullen , Duncan , M'Farlane , &c . The last named gentleman delivered a very impressive speech , flowing with sentiments of liberty and benevolenee , and concluded in these words : " Let the middle classes come and join us , if they will ; we have always made them welcome ; bnt let not the Chartists ever dream of giving up one iota of the gloriou 3 principles of the Charter ; that moment they do , they ¦ will become as weak as Samson when he suffered his locks to be shorn by a harlot "—The signing of the National Petition is going on with great spirit .
LONDON . —At a meeting of the East London democrats , held at the Hit or Miss Inn , 79 , Weststreet , Globe Fields , the minutes of the last meeting were confirmed , and new members enrolled for the National Charter Association .

Rouse in the chair . The minutes of the last monthly meeting were read and confirmed . The auditors gave in their report that the balance-sheet was found correct , and ordered it to be put up every meeting night The sum of 9 s . was ordered to be sent down to the Executive of Manchester , as their full share for one month , since the new organisation . The sum of 9 s . was sent to the County Committee , to aid in getting up tb » public meeting at White Conduit House .
STOCKPORT . —The Committee of the Working Men ' s Burial Association held their quarterly meeting on the 5 th instant , in the National Charter Association Ro o m , Bomber ' s Brow . They are in a prosperous state , having cash in hind to the amount of £ 33 , and 910 members . It argues well for being a means of for » rarding the cause of C ' ar tism , as it gives them a dir ect interest in it ; and we would recommend all other Associations to form Burial Societies . A copy of our rules may be obtained by applying at the Co-operative Store , Park-street , Stoekport .
ZHOTTRABI . —Mr . Butterworth , from Manchester , paid a visit to this place on Monday , the 5 th instant , and delivered a very interesting lecture at the Chartist meeting room . He dwelt at great length on the present evils ef society , and on the tyrannical means that were used by manufacturers to keep the industrious class in slavery , bondage , anil ignorance . But , said Mr . B ., the working class were determined no longer to be tied down by a greedy set of tyrants . They were wide awake to tha many evils that had been practised upon them . He concluded a very lengthy address by advising the working class to come forward and join in the gTeat struggle for freedom . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer . On Thursday , the 8 th instant , a public meeting was convened at the Chartist meeting room , for the purpose of adopting a petition , as it appeared in the Sorthern Slar , and likewise to consider the best means for carrying the plans of Mr . O'Connor into effect Upwards of nine shillings has been collected towards the support of the delegates to sit in London .
Os Sr > -DAT last , Mr . Bradley , from Hyde , delivered a spirited address at the Chartist meeting room . Mr . Bradley entered into lengthy details of the People ' s Charter , and showed the benefits the working class would derive from it A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , for his able ai- » ocacy of the people ' s rights , and several additional members were enrolled . The meeting separated highly delighted . ATJCHTERMTJCHTY . —A . soiree was held here on Toesiay evening , the Cth instant , for the purpose of disseminating the principles of Chartism more widely among oar fellow townsmen ; Mr . John Sillies in the chair . It has seldom been our lot to see the Town
Hall so densely filled ; the mteting was a decided bumper . The company were severally addressed by Messrs . Skinner and Haig , from Kinross , and Messrs . Mitchsll , Lawson , San . and Jnn . from Newburgh , -who , in forcible language , depicted the causes of , the effects produced by , and the remedy for , the political slavery which hangs like a millstone r # und the necks of oppressed Britons . The addresses were interspersed with patriotic songs and recitations . The Newburgh instrumental band kindly gave their gratuitous services . After cheers being given for the Charter , O'Connor , the incarcerated patriots , and the Chartist press , the meeting broke up . after a little exercise on " the light fantastic toe . "

always came to him like Niobe , all tears , and agitated to the highest and most romantic degree , on account of the disagreements existing in her family , from her partiality to him . He could not do other but sympathise with her ; and the cold street is bat a sorry place for sympathy , so they withdrew for solace to a publichouse , and found it in sundry glasses of brandy and water . Her agitation , however , would not be scared , it lasted for hours , and often the small hours of early morn were repeated by the adjacent clocks before they wended their way to Bolton-street John Smith was at length permitted to call at Bolton-street , and the prisoner , John Daniells , was introduced to him as her brother-in-Uw , Mr . Edmondson . At length John proposed marriage , and Elisabeth , with a coyness that increased her charms , at first refused , then withdrew her
refu sa l , again Tefnaed , but ultimately Bhe was induced to r ece ive him , by his entreaties , as her accepted suitor . The loving but careful John , fearful that he had misunderstood the exact amount of her wealth , copied into his pocket-book verbatim , from her own lips , the rich mine of gold she disclosed , and then , not liking to let tha lady be all in the ascendant , be held oat bright prospects of what he was to be some day when he exchanged the title of plain John Smith for the more euphonious ene of Sir John . Time progressed , and tbe day of marriage drew near . Five different times did they attempt to be married , but Borne unforseen cause intervened to prevent it . Four times tbe lady , perhaps from qualms of conscience , withdrew from the church , and once , 'in this instance , the careful Smith proposed , when standing at the altar for the ceremony to be
performed , that as Elizibeth had not got on the fitting garaients of a bride , the ceremony should be deferred . It seemed he was disappointed she waa so rudely clad . In one of their moonlight walks she bad told him she was engaged to a Mr . Lee , and he had fallen on his knees beseeching her to discard her intended Lee and cling to him for life . She , while consenting , communicated that the bridal garb had been prepared , and be at least expected she would have appeared in the same gear as wa « destined for her marriage with the slighted Lee . At last , on the 8 th December , they were married , John Smith having in vain attempted to borrow £ 5 from a friend , Baying that if he did not get it he should lose £ 3 . « 0 » , for he was going to be married to a rich widow . Lodgings were afterwards taken by him
in Oxford-street . Thither he removed his blushing bride , and in the joyousness of his heart , told a friend he was a happy married man . It seemed , but t he happy John was a stranger to it , that before the ceremony Elizabeth had taken lodgings for her husband , saying that he was a pensioner , whom she must provide for , and she was afurwards in the habit of paying his rent every Saturday and carrying him bis Sunday ' s dinner . On the morning of the marriage , tbe prisoner , J o hn D a nielJs , came to the house in Oxford . street , and asked the prosecutor if they were really married . He seemed very much agitated , and upon John Smith ssying how do you d « , Mr . Edmondson replied " My name is not EdmondEon . " He then immediately left the house , before the astonished Smith had time
to ask Him who he was and whence he came , His local kahitation and his name . " The happiness of a mingled being was to John Smith uninterrupted for nearly three mtnths ; but love is blind , and John must have been very blind or he would have had some suspicions , but h e ha d n o t , until at length his brother Frederick Smith , whose " nous " was greater than his luckless brother , and who kuew the real John E'lmondBon , the brother-in-law of Elizabeth , had some doubts that all waa not right . Poor John ' s vision of happiness was then dissipated by the discovery that the assumed Edmondson waa no other than the husband of bis bride , and that the £ 8 S p er annum , the £ 300 in expectancy , and the wedding clothes , were all moonshine , a mere web of 'fiction , ¦ which a very designing and cunning woman had wove . The prisoners were then apprehended .
It appeared that John Daniells , although he had represented himself as Edmondson , had not incited to tbe marriage , but , o n th e c o n t rary , had written a note to his wife while she stood at the altar , in these words" Be careful , Elizabeth , what you are about ; the man is mad ; " and had also represented to the clergyman that she was the wife of a sea captain , and was not certain that he was dead . Mr . AlrBFHY addressed the Jury for the femaleprisoner , and urged that the case was a tit illustration of the biter being bit—the duper duped . John Smith was a mere fortune-Hunter , going about to see what
widows he could devour . The £ » 5 a year was the " El Dorado" of his ambition ); and for that be slobbered bis kisses and bis solace ou the object of his professions , who was very much like Mr . OCounell , in a constant st at e of " agitation . " It was clear that he intended only to get her money . He did not care who or what she was , and that she had been coerced by ber husband to practise the deceit she did , in order that he might live by ber prostitution , and that her only desire , degraded as she was , w as t o a d minist er to his c o mfort s and supply his wants in the pressing hour of distress and poverty .
Mr . WlLKlXS addressed the jury for tbe male prisoner , and submitted that this case was a picture of " CBtebs in search of a wife . " His learned Friend , Mr . Murphy , mi ght have carried the allusion further in respect of the agitation of Mr . O Connell , by s ayin g that it was all for the " Tint and nothing but tbe rint . " He did not for a moment mean to uphold the disgraceful and disgusting conduct the male prisoner bad pursued ; but he submitted that the uvidence negatived the idea that he had been at all instrumental in counselling or promoting the second marriage . His Lordship having summed up , The Jury Acquitted John CrnieUs , and found Elizabeth Daniells Guilty .
Mr . Justice Maule , in passing sentence , said—Elizabeth Daniells , you have been cenvicted , on the very clearest evidence of bigamy , an offence which interferes with the security of the institution of marriage , which is the foundation of all civil society , and in this country subjects the party guilty of it to transportation , or imprisonment , according to the circumstances of tbe cose . Yours ib a peculiar case . It is stripped of some circumstances which are an aggravation of the crime . You seem not to have done any serious injury to your first husband , because although I think be may not have consented to your eeeond marriage , yet he consented to what must be quite as
painful to any husbaud who possessed proper feelings—I mean your intercourse with other person * . I do not think , ther e f o re , you inflicted any serious injury on his feelings -with respect to John Smith , a strange sort of person easily deceived by the arts yeu so successfully applied . I do not know that any great suffering has been inflicUd on him either . Still a violation of tbe sacred ordinances of the church , and a trifling with the rito of matrimony , is not to be permitted ; but , at at the same time , taking all tbe circumstances into consideration , I am net disposed to Bentence you to anything more than the lightest punishment , and that u six calendar months imprisonment . The trial excited much interest , and happily savours much more of romance than reality .

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE AT LIVERPOOL ASSiZES . Crow . \ Court , Liverpool , Saturday , April 10 . Elizabeth Daniells was indicted for that she , being the wife of John Daniells , feloniously married one Joseph Smith , on the 8 th of Dec , 1840 , the said John Daniells being then alive ; and John Daniells , her husband , was charged -with having counselled , promoted , and incited his wife , Elizibeth , to cosimit the offense . The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty . Mr . Armstrong and Dr . Bmws prosecuted ; Mr . Murphy appeared for Elizabeth Daniells , and Mr . Wilkixs defended John Daniells . The circumstances of this case were peculiar , and exhibited a sad picture of depravity , crime , cunning , and Btnpiaitv ,
The evidence disclosed that the female prisoner was the daughter of an i nnkeeper , in Dale-street , and not a person of the most correct habits . That in September , 1839 , she married the prisoner , John Daniells , who at the time bore a good character , and was a clerk in a merchant ' s office in Liverpool . After tbe marriage tbey took lodgings , and lived together for same time , but gradually their means became less , and they were in extreme distress . The prosecutor , John Smith , is a civil engineer , and was one day in August last enjoying a walk In St James ' s Walk , when he met the female prisoner -walking with a respectable old lady . He WM &t once struck , with her charms , and when they took their seats on & bench he went and sat beside them . Words—like angels' visits , and n » doubt be then thought that tbe visit of Elixabeth to the " Walk * ' was one of them—were few and far between , but th e y w e re commingled with many & furtive glance at the object of his admiration . They parted ; tbey met again in the
etreet , and J « hn Smith passed and moved : the move wal returned , and added fire to his touchwood heart . Appointments to meet at the silent hour of eve followed in quick succession . The female prisoner was . then living with her husband in Bolton-street In one of their hours of rendezvous she made the confession that she was & widow—fair be knew she was ,- that her husband had been captain of the ship Oxford , and bad been drowned at sea ; that she was possessed of £ &l a-year , and was then living with her brother-in-law , % Mr . Edmondson , » wholesale draper , in Bold-st * eet Her worldly prospects quite dazzled the eyes of Mr . Smith . He admired her before ; she was his idolatry now . The widow ' s wealth , and the widow ' s self , determined him to make her at once his own . Meeting after meeting took place—beautiful , because they were stolen , as he fancied ; she having represented that she gave them without the knowledge of 2 ier brother-in-law . She
