JOSEPH GOULDING AGAIN ! ( From our London Correspondent . ) WORSHIP-STBEBr POLICE CO 0 BT , 8 ATDBDAT , APRIL 17 . —Mr . WUllam Drake , a re « pect » ble shoemaier , carrying on business on his own account , in Brick-lane , Spitalfields . appeared to & summons obtained against him bj the notorious Gonlding , whose participation in the memorable Bethnal Green meeting has been already made known to the readers of tbe Northern Star . The charge was this : —On the Sunday evening previous , Gouldiog waa present at a lecture given at tbe Hall of Science , City Road , where he w&s seated on the platform , in company with the Revertnd Richard Carlile , his son , and the lady who lectured on tbe occasion , whom Goaidine described
as " Mrs . Carlile . " The defendant was also present , in the body of the meeting ; in the course of the evening , be advanced to the platform , and , addressing the audience said , "Are yon aware you have got a Government spy in the room ; the fellow who betrayed the Bethnal Green Chartists , and sold poor Boggis . " When the defendant said this , be was close to Goulding's elbow ; tbe audience arose , and a momentary confusion ensued ; Goulding addressing them , and assured he was not the character be had been represented to be , by which means order waa restored , and nothing else transpired till the audience were separating ; when a young man met the defendant ) addressing Goulding , said " I should like . "
" Like what ? " inquired Goulding . To run ft bole through such a Tag&bond as you ; " replied the young man referred to . It was in consequence of this , that the present defendant was summoned . The complainant swore that be went in continual bodily fear , and handed in to the Magistrate a letter from the Reverend Mr . Carlile , denouncing " the road and mischievous Chartists , " and wishing Goulding success , as he ( the writer ) " knew him to be engaged in a good cause . " Strange to say , Mr . Broughton read this letter , ( which could not possibly have anything to do with the case , ) while he oontinosHy and repeatedly protected tbe " fellow" las defendant ' s solicitor Urmed him ) Goulding , from giving any answer to questions relative to the Bethnal Green spy job , out of which Mr . Drake ' s denunciation arose .
In reply to Mr . Broughton , as to the complainant's credibility on his oath , Goulding swore that he did not believe Jesus Christ ever existed as a man , though he believed in A is Divinity , and in a future state of rewards and punishments . He first described himself as a shoemaker , living at 173 , New North-street , Castle-street , Finsbnry ; and afterwards stated that he was entitled by law to be ca'Ied Reverend , as be had taken out a license for preaching as a Protestant Dissenter . He went in fear of personal violence , as he had no doubt that the " low , ignorant fellows among the Chartists , who talked of burning houses and stabbing policemen , would not mind murdering him . " Mr . Hunt , a solicitor , appeared on behalf of the defendant , and contended that , though Goulding had gone through the form of taking an oath , it was plain there was nothing in the Holy Gospels , which had been put into his hands , that could at all be considered binding on his conscience .
Mr . Broughton overruled the objection , inasmuch aa tbe complainant had declared his belief in a state of future rewards and punishments , and this was deemed in law sufficiently "binding on the consciences of persons giving evidence en oath . But even if he were an infidel , or an atheist , that was no reason why he should be denounced to a public meeting , and be rendered liable to be torn in pieces ! Mr . Hnnt then proceeded to cross-examine Goulding . Moat of the questions , however , which tended to elucidate tbe share he took in the Bethnal Green affair , were refused to be answered by the witness ; in which Mr Brouzhton upheld him , on the ground that ,
even if be had umed the Chartists , and even if be were a spy , be wa « there under the protection of the law . Gonlding swore positively that he had nothing to do with the arrest of Boggis , and that he knew of the circumstance orJy from reading it in the papen ! He did not wear a short blue Tdoak whsn Boggis was taken , cor was he near the spot that morning . He never advised t person named Spencer , nor any one else that he recollected , to take ami * . He had known Mr . Drake , the defendant , about two years ; and had had no dispute with him , It his knowled ' je ; they might have had urordi , but he did not believe they ever quarreled .
An eccentric-looking personage named WiJby , who described hiiBBelf as a schoolmaster , came forward to support the complainants alienations . In reference to the person who propounded the experimental desire to drill a bole in Mr . Goulding " s botly , the witness did not say he was drunk , but thought he was mentally excittd . He didn't beliet&Uiere were four Cluirtitts in the room . When the defendant said , " Are you avcare that you have a Government spy in the room , " every bcxiy knew be me ^ nt Gonldicg . John Brett , a cabintt-niaker , also supported the complainant ' s charge : in bis cross-examination , he said , ¦ when Drake first made the allegation , there was great disturbance and noise , some talking on * way and tome acL > thtr ; there was , however , plenty of time to cool , and they were cool enough afterwards ; forGouMing £ ot up and made a speech , but the defendant had left the meeting then .
Mr . Hunt then addressed the magistrate on behalf of the defendant . These parties had been connected together in some transactions which involved the complainant in circumstances of more than strong suspicion : from some motive ( perhaps a very substantial one , for he was better ofTnowi , G ^ ulding had separated from the Chartists , when ke had trepanned them into an illegal meeting , and information had been given \ it was believed by Gouldiag himself ) to tbe higher powers . But wher ^ . 'was this alleged breach of the peace , with which the defendant vras charged , committed ? According to the complainant ' s own statement , it was at a time and in s . place when and where no respectable
person would venture to be preseat . They were hearing a lecture , on a Sunday evening , from a woman whom Goulding had sworn waa Mr * . Carlile ; but of whom tbe less ttat was said the better . The defendant had used no threat , even by implication ; he had merely asked a question , -whether the meeting " were aware that they had a spy among them ?"' True , Goulding had Bvrorn that he went in bodily fear , but his actions contradicted it , for he asserted that he name foru-ard and satisfied the meeting , oecause he u > o 3 better liked than Drake . Were he ^ hesolicitor ) to go into other matters , the fellow Goulding w < iuld not look so pleased as he did then . On the -whole , he contended it was not such a case as called for the interference of the
magistrate . Mr . Brotighton said , there could be no doubt that the complainant was entitled to the protection of the law , -whateYer he might once have been . If he had gone to tbe Court of Queen ' s BeDch , he might have exhibited articles of tbe peace on his own affidavit , ¦ wi thout aDy investigation taking place , as was usual before a magistrate . As to his political or religious fancies—whether he chose to connect himself with the Chartirts or with Mr . Cariile , —whom he ( the
magistrate i thought fitted for another great building in the neighbourhood , ( . St . Luke ' s , ) than for a Hall of Science — whether he choose to convert tbe SaTiour into a mere spirit , or to take any other fancy , ha ( Mr . Broughton ) bad nothing to do with it : any one who held him out to be A SPY was guilty of a serious offence , and answerable for any violence that might ensue . He should therefore require the defendant to find two sureties in £ 30 each , and enter into his own recognizances in £ 40 , to answer any indictment that might be preftrred against him at tbe sessions .
The snretaes were instantly entered into , and the defendant was liberated . [ To tbose readers of the Star who may remember the circumstaEces which came to light before the committee of the Working Men ' s Association , appointed to inquire into the conduct of Goulding relative to the Betbnal Green spy-concocted meeting , it may not be uninteresting to know , that , since Mr . Goulding borrowed a few pence of Mrs Neesom to pay for a little soup , and represented bimseJf to bs in a state of pecuniary destitution , Fortune has been more liberal in her dealings with tiut gentleman . He appeared in court , on this occasion , attited in the most fashionable manner , -with a cestly watch-equipage ( if not a watch ) , a massive gold ring en the little finger of hia right hand , a slap-up cane , and all the paraphernalia of a West-end " swell . " Mr . Drake -was attired as small tradesmen usually are ,
neatly but homely . Altogether , no ene could look a ^ the cumplsJnant ( who described himself as a , journeyman shoemakeri and the defendant , ( Who was stated by the policeman that served the summons on him , to be " a respectable master shoemaker , who had been for s * me time in bis present house , "; without coming to the conclusion that joumpymcMj-snobbing is a much better trade than master snobbing . •« Never judge of a man by his dress , " is a trite but trne axiom . Still , however , great credit is due to such ixdustr'X as that of Mr . GouUUng , by means of which so much has been accomplished in bo short a period ; and that , too , f rilhout neglecting his wife and family ! We wish ail honest journeymen shoemakers ceald " cut the puggy " to the same tune as their brother Crispin does" by minding their oicn burinest , and letting other people ' t alone . (? J !/ f ]

Fortitude is Children . —A very alarming accident lately elicited much fortitude in two little girls One evening last week , Mr . John Neale , the son of the landlord at the Mitre Tayern , at Portsea , was taking his two yonn # sisters home from school , through the New Forest , in a cfcaifie-cart ; when part of the harness snapped , the horse was frightened , and the cart was upset . All were thrown out . Mr . Neale had his hip broken and his ancle-dislocated . His sister A ^ aes , who is ten years of age , was scalped from the forehead to the back of the
head ; and Adeline , the other sister , a year younger , had her arm broken . The young man was quits insensible ; and the little girls , in spite of their sufferings , managed to draw iheir brother to the roadside , and then set out in search of assistance . After wandoring in the Forest for about an hour , they found tha house of one of the keepers . Here tha eldi-tit sister remained , being quite exhausted , the other guided the keeper to the place where Mr . . N . a . '« lay ; -and he was carried to the Crown Ian at Lyndhurst , where he remained in a state of considerable danger .

THE EASTER BECESS IN THE POLITICAL WORLD . The Easier recess passes away with unequalled quiet in the political world . The dosing of Parliament used to entice the Members to exchange the arduous straggles of either House for the lighter oratory of ! political meetings throughout the country , affording an agreeable diversity of excitement , and enabling each party to renew the interest of its adherents in the provinces . This season there has been nothing of the kind . Members have not sought their constituents ; to commune with them on pending measures ; because there are no measures pending—none expected or intended to pawwhich any constituency cares about . Members have not run down to their homes , to revive the interest of political questions among their local supporters , because
there is no interest to revive : interest in the party questions of the day is clean gone ; Members feel little themselves , and have no motive for effort They know that the people see through the stale counterfeits , Whig , Tory , Radical ; and they can no longer upur themselves to the bootless office of simulating a zeal which no one feels . It is too much to go even a mile from the snug country house merely to say that they wish this or that party to draw the salary of office ; and that is all they could say . So they just stay at home , resting after tbe aimless and irksome labour of walking in and out of the lobbies to divide . In this universal negation , we see the character of tbe time : even professed busybodies and dealers in public meetings , tbe most indefatignbleof political traders , are worn out with tbe tedi am of carrying on sham contests .
Nevertheless , there must be some show of action when Parliament meets again ; and the daily broad sheets , which must be filled in the holidays as in session-time , have been pointing to tha future with a make-believe of preparation . Nothing newer promises at present , however , than a return to the great showfights of the past half-sessien , on the Irish Registration Bills and the New Poor Law . The party journals occasionally blow a note or two , like minstrels of old , earn ing on the battle-song while the combatants are resting : the Ministerial Chronicle sings the wrongs of Irish electors , to brace up the nerves of Lord Morpeth and his rtUluers ; the Times chants the tricks of Whig Registration schemes , to fire tbe fury of a Stanley , or the iniquities of the Poor Law , to keep up the effervescence of a Wakley . —Spectator .

AGAIN LORD CARDIGAN . The following statement lias been addressed to the Editor of . the Mornivg Chronicle , by " An Old , Soldier : " — " You will , I hope , allow me , through tbe medium of your columns , to call attention to the following plain statement : —A private of the 11 th Hussars was drunk on leaving the barracks , at Brighton , and was subseq % ently tried by a district Court-martial , and sentenced to corporal punishment . His trial took place on Thursday , and tha approval of the Court-martial was received , at Hounslow , on the Sunday morning . On Sunday , the 11 th Hussars were marche t into the Riding School , for divine service . Prayers were read , and a sermon was preaebed- On the conclusion of divine service , the trumpet-major was ordered to make tilings ready for corporal punishment And in this Riding School , and on a Sunday , where not an hour before
the whole regiment were engaged in prayer , Private Rogers , of the 11 th Hussars , was tied up and flogged , receiving one hundred lashes . I trust , for the credit of the service and tbe country , the matter will be brought before Parliament , and a full inquiry instituted . The general public , I am sure , will agree with me , without entering into the question of flogging , or whether Private Roger * deserved it or not , that on no account cou ' . d the commanding officer of the 11 th Hussars be justified in carrying the punishment into effect on a Sunday , and in the place appointed that day for divine worship . " How the character of the man is marked in this proceeding . The approval of the sentence arrived on Sunday morning , and so eager was the noble Colonel for the execution of it , that he could not wait even till Monday , but the Sabbath must be desecrated by a punishment after prayers !
What a sequence to the voice of prayer the sound of the lash !—the scourge after devout supplication —the groans of the sufferer after the lessons of mercy ! The Bishop of London has counted the boats that have parsed under Fulham Bridge on a Sunday . Did they profane the holy day more than a Hundred lashes ; and what will the Right Reverend Prelate , who has borne such loud testimony against the sins of greeu-grocera and pastry-cooks , say of the desecration of the Sabbath by the noble Colonel of the Eleventh ? Is keeping open a stall a less scandal than flaying a human back : ! Is plying the butcher ' s trade less allowable than plying the cat-o ' -nine-tails ?
Lord Cardigan ' s defence will probably be that the rich man is as much entitled to his pleasures on the Sunday as the poor man , and that he sees no more reason why he should forego one ministration to his eDjoymeut than another , aad that the work of the hands that wield the cat-o ' -nine-tails must be as much at bis command as that of his French cook . One appetite , however , cau wait , though the other cannot ; and , for the sake of public decency at least , Lord Cardigan must learn to poi-tpono his gratifications in the way of punishments for forty-eight hours , when the approval of the sentence happens to arrive on Sunday morning .
We have hitherto opposed every bill for the bitter observance of the Sabbath ; but as we are far more hostile to the introduction of bitterness in the violation of the Sabbatb , than to the introduction of bitterness in the observance of it , we will promise to give our best aid in support of a bill to prohibit flogging in the army on the Sabbath day . It may be remembered that we lately showed that the severities of Lord Cardigan had first been exercised on the privates of his regiment , and that , wheu checked in that direction b y Sir C . d'Albiao , they were transferred to the officers . From the present sign we infer that the officers have a respite ; it would be too imprudent to open fresh quarrels with them just now , so the men are to have their turn again , and to mark the eagerness for the punishment , by suffering or seeing the infliction of it on the Sabbath . —Examiner .

CHARTIST MEETING IN MANCHESTER . We had a spirited and overflowing meeting on Sunday evening last , in the Tib-street Chartist Room , to hear Sir . C . Connor and Mr . C . Doyle , two Irish Chartists . Mr . WHEELER , after making a few preparatory remarks ou the progress of the cause , introduced Mr . Connor to the meeting . Mr . Connor rose and said—He was willing at every opportunity to vindicate the rights and liberties of men of his own order , and would , he trusted , continue to do till they were possessed of those rights and immunities which justice and the laws of God and nature entitled himself and them to . ( Cheers . ) He would not have needed to be there if the parsons of this country ( of course he made some few honourable exceptions ) had followed out the precept and example
of their Lord and Master , and defended the poor against tbe rich , and against tyranny of every description . ( Applause . ) He had been taking a walk that afternoon , and he saw a brick-yard with a large quantity of new-made bricks in it ; and be thought a better way to illustrate the value of labour he could uot adopt than tbe ene which struck him . at the time . When he looked at the clay itself fiorn . vsbMi tb . e > b « bricks had been made he found that it was of no vahie whatever ; but when men hare been employed in digging it out of the earth , it then began to be of service . Why , becausj labour had been applied—and so it was under every operation , the working of it into bricks and burning , and indeed every additional part of labour gave it additional value —( hear , hear)—thus proving that labour is the
foundation of all wealth . ( Cheers . ) If such is tbe case , why is not labour protected ? or why is property protected to the exclusion of labour ? He had sten a notice put an the gable end of a building , to the effect that if any one was caught posting bills against it , he should be prosecuted according to law . Then you Bee the building is so far protected as to prevent even a single Bill from being posted against it , while the labour , blood , bones , and sinews of the labouring classes are not protected . ( A voice , " True . " ) For example , a cotton manufacturer , or any other capitalist , can come into the factory when he pleases and tell his hands that he is about to take a shilling from their wages each , and they , the hands , have not the least power to resist such an unjust aggression , because if they did they must bo turned into the street to starve , they having no other
appeal . Then again the capitalist can any time lock up his factory and tum out fourteen or fifteen hundred hands into the street Oae man has the power to do thl » , and the hands must submit to it , because they have no power to hold him accountable for his conduct ( Hear , hear , and shame . ) But he , for his part , was independent of these wretches although he -was a slave- He neither looked to the Government for sympathy , nor to the working classes for support . He couht get his living , such as it was , as well in one town as another ; therefore , he was from under the tyrannical grasp of the cotton lorda , ( Voices— " I wish I vras . "i The law
woKid protect a pig of an aristocrat , while the working men , politically Jpeaking , were dead : they had no life : nay , they were no more than a piece of household furniture , at tbe mercy of the Iaw-mafceri , liable to be brought , or rather forced , out to fight in the field of battle for Qneen Victoria or her Ministers , yet were not protected by the Jaw , because , not having a voice in the making of the law . Ail they , the -working people , had to do with the laws was , according to Whig logic , to obey them ; and all they had to do with the taxes vu to pay them . 'Hear , hew . ) Did they expect , for a single moment , that tbe present House of Cummons would grant them Universal Suffrage ? If they did , he thought they would be -very » uch mistaken . Hia

advice was , that they would unite , organise , and agitato , till auch time as they had a sufficient power behind the law to be stronger than the law , then they would hav * the Suffrage ; in short , when they were prepared by moral means to take their rights , the Government would be glad to give them without resorting to physical force . ( Hear , hear , * nd applause . ) [ Mr . Connor here read a speech delivered by Oliver Cromwell , when he went to clear the Augean stable , which he ( Connor ) said was very applicable to the present House . ! ( Laughter . )
He continued , we want such a man at the present day , for the bettor part of them were a set of mercenary wretches , who care no wore for the sufferings of the people , as fully exemplified in their conduct , than they would for a dead dog . tfibanie , shame . ) There were , be was willing to admit , good men in all societies . There were good men among tha middle class ; but those men , whoever they may be , who wish to carry their designs into effect , contrary to the expressions , feelings , and wishes of the majority , are no more nor less than traitors to their country . ( Hear , bear , and loud applause . ) He was sorry to say this was the case in fearfully numerous instances . There were too many who wanted to cany their own pet measures to serve their own purposes , who , at the same time , would not
care what became of them , the working classes . Here Mr . Connor lashed the press , and denounced it as one of the greatest enemies to liberty , and the labour of many millioned helots of this Queendom . The press , the lawyers , the parsons , and others who live by the industry of others , bad formed a foul conspiracy against the rights of the industrious working men ; the parsons teach the people to endure the wrongs and cruelties which they suffer quietly . They must respect the Queen , pay the tithes and rates , and come to the church . And , above all . they must keep away from those discontented and wicked individuals , the Chartists , or otherwise they would be ruined and be sent to hell , where they would remain for ever . ( Laughter . ) This is the doctrine which is taught at the present day , and
the Very men who are continually preach ing this doctrine , are living upon the fat of the land , enjoying every luxury , visiting the gambling hells , and forsooth would have the deluded to believe that they are the real followers of the meek and lowly Jesus . ( Shame . ) Mr . Connor tben drew the attention of his hearers to the laws of primogeniture . If a nobleman ,: to use the slang phrase , bad two or three sons , according to this law , the first took the property , and tbe rest had to be pensioned upon the public If he had any daughters he endeavoured to accumulate as much property as he could , in order to set them up with a husband who had plenty of money , and , of course , well provided for . Then , as for tbe other sons , if there was one more valiant and cruel than another , if he could shoot rats ,
kill hares , aud such like with pleasure , that was a sure token that he would make a . g ood man butcher , and be must have a commission in the uniy or navy . The second perhaps would exhibit symptoms of being subtle , crafty , and roguish , and would appear likely , by a little training , to make black appear white , ami vict versa ; he Would be sent to be educated for a limb of the law . The third would not be so weil calculated for such enterprising and important situations , a dunce , a thick skull , and fit for none of the ordinary situations in life which require any talent or qualities of an extra kind . The father concludes that he will make a most excellent Bishop , and he sends him to » College ( Convulsive laughter . ) He always liked to look after the parsons , to see if they fulfilled their situations , as they
ought to do as leaders of the public mind ; they were mere cyphers , and were biassed by the purse of tbe capitalists . A short time ago , he ( Connor ) was speaking at Oldham , and he took on opportunity of shewing up the tricks of some of the parsons , and tbe next Sunday two or three of them made it the theme of their sermon to warn the people against Socialism and Chartism . He supposed they would tell their hearers how wicked it was for them to expect their rights , or how odious it was even to ask for them . ( Laughter and cheers . ) These men declare that crime is on tbe increase , and the way to stay it is to build more churches , and to carry out which project , as a panacea for the stopping of crime , tbey were about to build ton in tbe town and neighbourhood of Manchester , although
those which were already built were not above half filled . He ( Mr . Cunn « r ) would have these men direct their attention to the real cause of tbe misery and poverty in the land , a prolific source of the crime which class legislation produced . He would not give any man credit for the professed love be might wish him to imagine he had for bis soul : he would not believe that any man wished to save his soul if he would not do all in his power to make his boUy comfortable in this world . ( Hear , hear , and " Wall done , Connor ! " ) He could liken the parsons to nothing better than a cow , which gives an excellent can of milk , and afterwards kicks the can over : these parsons could give good advice , but many of them never practised what they taught . £ fe ( the speaker ) was against all sorts of
monopoly . The suffrage would do them no good unless they could get in possession of the land , in order to make it subservient to the wants and wishes of the people . He wanted to see that state of society where every man would have his acre of land to fall bock upon , so that he might have his pigs , and poultry , it iic , and where he would eujoy his health , and keep his body in that state of vigour which God and nature intended it should be . ( Hear . ; He , for bis part , prefer ed living in a state where the linnet would be warbling upon the buah , and the lark fluttering over his head ; where be could see the driveling htreams and the running brooks , tie fertile fields with their blooming flowers ; and where he could see nature decorated out with all its beauty and splendour .
in a state like this , we should should see the labourer carry a hearty and healthy constitution . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) How much happier was such a state to the one in the manufacturing districts , where they had to creep out of bed at half-past five o ' clock in the morning , to go into a cotton factory , to be confined in that unwholisome , poisonous , and contaminating atmosphere , till eigbt at night , which destroyed every faculty bodily and mental , which filled our streets with twisted limbs and star-like countenances , every one being under the controul of a horde of petty tyrants , and which made tbe life of the factory hand one of misery , slavery , and drudgery , and just for what was
scarcely capable of keeping body aud soul together , —( a voice " very true , " ;—and , to fill up the figure , after he has toiled and sweat till the system has made such inroads upon bis constitution , that he cannot turn off as much work as one who may be young and in good health , he is turned into the street , where he must starve or be consigned to au infernal baftile . ( Cries of " Shame . " ) He was not going to humbug the people with fallacious statements like those made by the Corn Law lecturers . They impudently asserted that the land of Britain waa not capable of maintaining iU prsent population . Bat he would take a sentence of O'Brien ' s and read
it for their consideration : — " There are 77 , 000 , 000 ot statute acres in the united kingdom , about 47 , 000 , 000 are in a state of semi-cultivation , two or three millions of which consist of parks , pleasure-grounds , shrubberies , &c , &c , for the gratification of the rich , rather than the support of the idlers . There are as many millions more acres allotted for pasture grounds , for idlers ' horses . The remaining 30 , 009 , 000 lie comparatively waste ; although 15 , 000 , 000 of them , at least , are susceptible of cultivation of the highest order . Here are from eighteen to twenty million acres of land , which are at present useless , are capable of being turned to a profitable account Out of the whole 47 , 000 , 000 of acres now partly cultivated , not more than five or six ore appropriated to the growth of wheat . Is it not
Manifest , then , that if a larger proportion of these 47 , 080 , 0 i 0 acres were appropriated to tillage , that i f the eighteen or twenty millions of uncultivated Wastes , of which I have spoken , were cultivated , and if the wheat lands were made to . encroach on the parks , pleasure-grounds , and barley lauds , ( whose produce goes chiefly to the manufacture of poisonous dtiuks , under the names of gin , whisky , &a , < ScC . ) the soil of the united kingdom would far more than suffice to maintain its population in Abundance , even under its imperfect state of cultivation . Mr . Connor said he would not assist for a Repeal of the Cv > xn Laws in order to tatend a system which had broken down so many constitutions , and produced so many twisted limbs as the Factory system had .
I Cheers . ) He did not agree with these half starved mushroom politicians who were perambulating about the country with their swallow-tailed coats—the pretended friends to the working classes—who wished to give them as they said , a large loaf , hut who at the same time would not extend the franchise to them to throw the mantle of the law over them , to protect the loaf when they had got it . ( Applause . ) The present system was fraught with injustice and misrule to the many , which bad been caused by class-legislation—one party living in the greatest splendour , whilst the other were starving . He could not believe that God over intended that one man should live out of the sweat of another . He who is no respecter of persons , has never declared that one of his creatures should muck , scourge ,
and enslave the other . He did not , never badj n » r ever would , lay the charge upon God for the wickedness and inconsistencies which existed at the present time . He was aware that there should be distributions of wealth , and that they were useful in their place ; but he wanted those men to be sul jeet to the majority of the people . He did not approve gf a system which either directly or indirectly robbed the working man of eighteen shillings out of every pound which he earned . The working man had to labour for the aristocracy , the mill-ocracy , the army , the navy , and the pensioners and paupers , and the prostitutes , and every other class of persons who consumed but brought nothing' back as an equivalent tc society
for the food they eat or for the clothes they wear . The man who was kept to feed and look after the Idler ' s dog was equally as useless as the dog itself . ( Laughter . ) There were two contending parties at the present time failing out about which sheuld have the privilege of plundering the working classes—what' be called two thieves foiling out which got the greatest shave of the booty—he meant the cotton lord and the landlord . The landlord robs the people of four shillings and sixpence in every pound , and the cotton lord was content to take only seven shillings and sixpence . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Gunnor said he bad now touched upon the parsons , the cotton lords , and the lunuloi-us , likewise the distributors of wealth ; now he would tell the people if they would only agree and btccuie united , they might starve

these classes into compliance . Nene of these eonld tUl the land , make their shoes , or coats , ot any tiling elscr toward * producing what tiiejf eonsum *; ( Hea » . y Hera he drew a picture of a savage state of society , and contrasted it with the ona under which we live in a free country ; and when put in juxta position to each other , the latter falls into the shades . The savage could go out and have access to the fish in the water , or the fowls of the air ; but man in England was excluded from a look over the hedge ; aud what was even worse than that , while tbe warehouses were full of clothing , and the granaries were tnil of corn , the working man who had produced all these had to go only half fed , and halt clothed . ( Cheers . ) He would again toil them that he absolved God from any blame on the collective wicked men . ( Cheers . )
He was not one of those who would exhort them to be content under all this misery , nor would he lead them astray by persuading them to look to the middle class for their emancipation , for he believed they would see England one vast charnel house before they would concede to the people the Charter . Mr . C . then referred to what he called a mere remnant of mortality—Daniel O'Conhell , and his conduct in Ireland towards . the Chartista—a cheat and fungus of a politician . ( Hear , hear . ) Here Mr . C . told bis hearers tbat during the last agitation , they began to talk about physical force before they were prepared to carry their threats into execution . He hoped they would not do so again , until they were able to do it successfully and effectually ; and then they might go at it hammer and tongs . ( Hear , and cheers . ) He then
remarked that Robert Peel , who had obtained half a million of money from the people ' s industry , admitted tur people ' s right to the Suffrage ; but objected to their possession on the ground of their ignorance . The speaker then declared that accusation was a false ene , and brought emphatic illustrations of men who are now in the ranks of the working classes , and men of the greatest talents at former periods , who have risen from the same class , such for instance as Cobbett , Franklin , Buraa , &e ., dec . Mr . C . said he gloried in the present movement , because it was educating the working man , and enabling him to meet the capitalist on the same stage , and combat every argument brought against tbe rights of labour or the Suffrage . ( Hear . ) He denounced the plan set forth by Lovett and Collins , && , and said it was calculated to split us up into sects
and parties , and said that Roebuck , Hume , and others were at the bottom of it . He believed—and he hoped he should be set right if he was wrong—tbat each of these men voted for the New Poor Law ; for his , ( the speaker ' s ) part , he would neither walk up Repeal-ofthe-Union alley , nor follow tbe Com Law humbugs , nor blow the Russian horn . I Laughter and cheers . ) He believed that every man that was not with them was against them . He exhorted his heaiers to look well after , and watch every step of pretended friends , assuring them that such characters by once gaining the confidence of the people , and then betraying them , did more injury than their most inveterate enemies . ( Hear , hear . ) He felt proud tha > Chartism was now taking root in Ireland , the land of his birth . ( Loud cheers . ) Feargus O'Connor ' s letters to O'Malley had been the
means of opening the eyes of some of his fellow countrymen , together with sending the Northern Star . ( Cheers . ) He hoped that every sincere Chartist would continue to send the Star to Ireland , and likewise all the cheap publications , and let tbe land be inundated with them ; and let every one who had friends there , give them to understand what the people of England and Scotland really wanted—that while they advocate a vote for themselves , they at the same time extend the same privilege to Irishmen . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He ceuld like Chartism to spread through Ireland , and when the people of that country saw that the principles were the same as those for which their patriots had shed their blood , and lost their lives , they would be brought to embrace them ; and when he spoke of Irish patriots , he did not mean those who were living now , and were driving through the country with their
livery servants , Sco . < fcc . ; he meant an Emraett , a Fitzgerald , and an Arthur O'Connor . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) When the Irish fully understood the matter , they would not mince it either for a Daniel O'Connell , or his tail . ( Hear , hear . ) Tbe speaker was not one of these who Wished for a Catholic government , any more than a Protestant one , unless they were under the controul of the people . Catholics were as big tyrants as Protestants , and vice versa ; only instance France and Spain , la conclusion h « would observe , that he had always been , and should be , at their command , and never refused , and he pledged himself never to relax , come weal , cume woe , come persecution , prosecution , adversity , or prosperity , even to the forfeiture of his life . He thanked them for tbe patient attention which tbey had given him , and sat down amidst the loudest plaudits of the meeting .
Mr . Wheeler said that be had great pleasure in introducing bis esteemed friend Christopher Doyle . ( Loud cheering . ) ' Mr . Doyle said that it was with a degree of pleasure that he stood there to address them that evening . He bad thought of giving a lecture upon the Corn Laws , but as a discussion , was shortly to take place upon that subject , he would say but little about it to them . He was delighted to hear his countryman , Mr . Connor , expose the laws of primogeniture , and the rest of the subjects upon which he had treated . ( Hear , hear . ) He would , however , say a few words in reference to Daniel O'Connell . He found , by the Star , that he had been making a speech in Ireland , in which he called upon the police to put down Chartism : he had been denouncing the Chartists ,
and endeaveured to persuade his countrymen fromjoining us . ( A . voice , "He ha » ! ' ) He knew , however , very well , tbat he was telling a falsehood ,- and yet , after saying all this , he came forwaid and said that the Chartists were asking for the sama as himself , only in one instance , namely , he was for Triennial Parliaments instead ot Annual . Upon this he was very pliable ; "for , " says he , " when we get a Repeal of the Union , we will have Triennial Parliaments . " Mr . Doyle said he wished he had a Repeal , and he , wished the people of Ireland had a Repeal ; but they never would so long as they allowed Dan to traffic—so long as they depended upon a man like him , who would take a penny from the poor man , a halfpenny from the ragged man , and a farthing from the starving man . Point me out ( said he ) what he has given out
of the £ 200 , 060 he has received from the poor of Ireland . Tbey could not shew , in auy one instance , where he had done one charitable act for the poor , but he put the money into the bank . ( Hear , hear . ) Then , again , he said the Chartists are for Household Suffrage , and so was he . Now be Jcnew when he said tbat we , the Chartists , went for Household Suffrago , he was telling a barefaced lie . But that was the way he bad always earned on ; he was continually cajoling , cheating , and humbugging the people , and all the while taking money out of . their pockets . ( Hear , hear . ) He had been told that be was an enemy to Daniel O'Connell , but be would take that opportunity of telling them , that if he was an enemy to the conduct of -O'Connell , he was not bis personal enemy . He was one of the best friends he had in this country ,
until he found him out upon the Factory question . Daniel O'Connell said that was a question of blood and murder , and promised to advocate the cause of 35 , 000 factory children . He professed to be a friend to the factory children , but afterwards sold them for one thousand'pounds . Then he ( Doyle ) found out he was a dishonest man , and therefore he could' put no more trust in him . He voted for the New Poor Law , which the Whigs brought forwards , those whom he called base , bloody , and brutal , after calling it unnatural and unscripturaL Who was an enemy to Trades Unions ? Daniel O'Connell . Who got the Glasgow Cotton Spinners transported ? —Daniel O'Cunnel ) . And Feargus O'Connor laboured more than all the other men put together to obtain their freedom . Who was it that offwred 600 . 000 men
to put down Chartism in England ?—Daniel O'Connell . Who boasted of Sergeant Daley at Newport , for shooting the Chartists?—Daniel O'Connell . And now he wanted the police to put down ChartUm in Ireland , and to stop all correspondence , so that tbey might still remain in ignorance . Who was it that persecuted Lowery and Murray?—Daniel O'ConneL Mr . Doyle wished the principles of Chartism to spread through Ireland , and when . the people come to have a proper knowledge ot the principles , Dan ' s influence would cease . It had taken a long time for him to rise , and of course it would take some time to remove the prejudice of the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Dan was a middle-class
man , and one of their patrons . He had no respect for the working man . Mr . Doyle said he knew he had enemies in Manchester , and some of them bad challenged him to fight , but he would not resort to such a blackguard practice , only through compulsion , and then stand in his own defence—( cheers)—and would continue to speak his mind fearless * of consequences . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Doyle made a few more remarks , and sat down after thanking them for the kind attention which had been paid to him during the time he had addressed them . H « was glad to see the nesting so crowded . He then sat down amid the most vociferous cheering . ;
A person rose and said if any thing was calculated to give the lie direct to Dan's assertions , namely , that the people of England have not sympathy for the people of Ireland , it was the manner in which they the people had sat and heard two : Irishmen address * them , only interrupted by cheers . The Chairman gave out the regular notices , and votes of thanks -were carried by acclamation to the two speakers , and the meeting broke up highly delighted .
