TO THI IDITOB OP THB K 0 STHEB 5 STAB . Dkab Sib , —My name being appended to the Lovett and Colluii ' B plan of organisation , which appeared in the Star , on the 8 th inst ., in justice to Myself , I think proper to inform ray brother Radicals , thus publicly , under what circumstances I committed this error : — The plan was shown me by a friend while I was at labour , consequently , I had scarcely time to read it , far less to reflect upon it ; and feeing- told that it was requested to be returned to Mr . Lovett , per post , and considering the names attached to it , . i never for one moment considered that it was an error . But , Sir ,
" To err is human , to forgive divine , " snd I must say it was more an error ef ignorance than of motive * Seeing the plan is lauded by the Monting Chrxmkl * , > y Ban . and others of his kidney , I suspect ail is not right . Mr . Lovett jras written to to remove my name . It might be too file , however . The publication of tkis will answer the purpose . Sir , —By causing this to appear in the Star , of Saturday , you will oblige Tout brother , in the good caus&of the people , ROBSBT MlGATB . Caapaie , 26 th April , 1841 .

TO MR , W . LOVETT . Six , —I should consider myself guilty of something ¦ worse than hypocrisy were I to dissemble at a time like this—were I , instead of giving expression to the honest convictions of my mind , to suppress their utterance , lest by being t » o candid I might possibly be too truthful And this leads me to remark ttiat , considering the manner in which you have been assailed , some alleging that you are a tool in the hands of Mr . O'Connell—a circumstance in itself more than sufficient to blast the reputation of any man not a Whig—and others , again —as thongh it were not sufficient to be thought the fo-betvten of the Tile miscreant just named—assigning as a reason for your present apostacy ( I use their terms )
% compact entered into between Messrs . Hume and Place on the one part , and yourself and others on the other part . ' I say , considering these and a thousand other things I could mention , never forgetting the ardonr with which the people hastened to assist you , aad your coadjutor , Collins , when danger threatened you , your conduct in suffering three weeks to elapse without , at least , attempting a refutation of a part or all of these several allegations , does to me , to say the least of it , smack so strongly of Downing-street and Baa , that the people will do well to- take heed how and where they drive their hogs too . " The people the slaves at " Brown-ljre&d Joe" and Mr . Marcus Place ! Hell ¦ would be too good a place for the ™* ' " desiring to see it .
Requesting that you will be pleased to erase my name from the list of signatures appended to the address , I am , Sir , Your obedient humble servant , Chakles Jok'BS . KorthamptoH , April 28 , 1841 . P . S . I had well nigh forgot to mention , that had I imagined it was intended to- ~ put forth the "Address " ¦ wi thout first of all submitting it to . the Convention about to meet in London , or some similarly constituted body , for approval , it never would have received my awnction . .

When I signed it , I thought it w » uld have been an help-meet for our Xational Charter Association ' , to assist us in dispelling the ignorance which so unhappily abounds in this part of 8 je country with regard to political knowledge . Was it not for the Star , it wonld be darkness visible ; but , thanks to that great luminary , we "begin to see the day star springing up , and I was in hopes that this Lovett concern would have proved an excellent aid to the cause that 1 have so mnch at heart : but , if it is a
move to get rid of O'Connor , then I » y perish its coneoctors , and may the caged lion Iive ; to see all his enemies , and the people ' s , defeated and confounded . To get rid of O'Connor would be like throwing the pilot overboard just as the ship came in sight of the breakers . I am for Universal Suffrage and no surrender .

THE DISHONESTY OF THB LEEDS TIMES . Hudderefield , April 26 , 1841 . Dear Bib , —Will yon be so kind as allow ine » portion of your valuable paper of Saturday next By so doing you will greatly oblige , Yours truly , EDWD . CtAYTOK . TO THB EDITOR OF THB LEEDS TIXES . StB , —If I read aright , the heading , or motto which appears on your paper , Is one of the noblest and most just that can be quoted . " Give me , " says the immortal Milton , " the liberty to know , to utter , and to argue freely according to conscience . ' above all ether liberties . " Yet , " it is strange , most passing strange , " that the Leeds Times uses the above motto , merely for its own purposes , and not as the noble Poet intended , to alL They place it there at the head of their columns , yet , whtn an individual is assailed , by calumny and misrepresentation , time after time , they refuse to allow that individual to vindicate himself ; and simply because he differs in opinion with them upon a most vital and importantsubject If this be the manner in which the Times wishes to obtain the cordial co-operation of the working classes , it is most certainly a very strange one .
I some time since addressed a letter U the Editor of the Times , in reply to some misrepresentations ic , which were mode regarding myself and the meeting at Batley , at which it was stated they took place . Now mark the line of policy pursued by the Editor ; my letter was refused insertion . This was on the l # th , and in a fortnight after , on the 24 th , a reply appears in the columns of the Times in reply to my letter which had never been published , purporting to be fro » a " Constant Reader" at Batley . Now , either , the Editor himself is the " Constant Reader , " or he has most unjustly sent my letter " privately" Vo Batley , for the Constant Reader , " to disprove , if possible , the facts there stated . Such conduct , 1 think very unfair , unjust , and highly culpable , on the part of the Editor of the Times ; fur , as my letter was never published , how comvs the ' Constant Reader" at Batley to know the contents
of that letter , if not as abovestated , he got it "privately " from the Editor , who , instead of publishing it , and giving the public an opportuity of judging fairly on both sides of the question , thus unfairly makes use of it f Again , the " Constant Reader" speaks of my having blown a mighty trumpet I know of no trumpet that I have blown either bef * re or since ; " j-erhapshe may ;" and if he cannot forget the " impressive speech , " as he is pleased to call it , so much the better , there is yet hope that he will look on both sides of the picture I know not , £ but of this I am aware , that if be beheld himself in the position in which some were shewn to be , namely that the " landlords were not the only tyrants " with whom the labouring classes have to contend , then I pity him and would advise him to get from out amongst them , as soon as possible ; if on the contrary he cannot forget or forgive , then he gives the lie direct to what he " professes himself to be . "
Again , he says , though I deny that the Chartists were imported from Hudilersneldand Bradford . Though I belonged to the former place , I do not deny that the Chartists flocked from Biratal , Liversedge , Heckroandwike , E&rL&heaton , Dewsbury , Dawgreen , fcc ., die . I would ask the " Constant Reader" to peruse again the " private letter , " and find if I deny that 1 did not belong to the former place , and if I did not state in the meeting at Batiey that I bad come from Haiiderafield ; but 1 did contradict the statements that large numbers were imported from the above mentioned places . With regard to the numerous places he has been pleased to
name the second time , I do most sincerely believe that there was not one from Birstal , Ltveraedge , or Hcckmondwike . Indeed , when I arrived at IXwsbury , a very short time previous to going to Batley , the Chartists of that place were not even aware that I was going to oppose the lecturer , and there was na time for " mustering the Chartists" as he is pleased to term it A few friends accompanied me to Batley , for I was a stranger ; thus much for the accuracy of the '' Constant Reader" who endeavours , thus unfairly , after having been honourably beaten in their own stroDg hold , to attribute the defeat to unfair means . I leave this to
the working men of Batley , whether he or I am right Again , says he , to shew the fallacies of the " orator " in this " impressive speech , " he stated that Messrs Baring and Co ., of Lancashire , augmented their regular profits in the spare of fifteen months , by the introduction of machinery and the lowering of wages , to the amount of £ 500 , 000 . Will the " Constant Reader " give the quotation , as I gave it there , and then endeavour to disprove the statement f Again , ' that I stated that there were two acres of land for every individual in the united queendom , and they ought to have it , and all manufacture for themselves . "
Now , I wish the " Constant Keadt-r" would only be honest , and give things as he hears them , and throw aside his prejudice and judge fairly , and give the argument as given . However the following proofs will shew my views , and I leave them for him to disprove if he can There is , in the United Quetmlom , 77 , 000 , 000 of statue acres , of which about 47 , G 0 O 0 OS are in a state of semi-cuitivalion . Two or three millions of these consist of parks , pleasure-grounds , &c , for the gratification of the rich , and not for their support . There are many millions ljing comparatively waste , being 6 et apart for the horses of the idlers of society ; and the remaining , about 30 , 000 , 000 are comparatively lying vraate , although upw&ri ' s of 15 , 0 M , » 00 at the least ,
are susceptible of cultivation of the highest order . This immense portion of land , ¦ whk-b . is now completely useless , could , with proper management , be made te bring forth its fifty and its sixty fold , and turned to a profitable account ; and out of the whole 47 , 000 , 000 of acres , not more than five or six at the utmost are appropriated to the growth of wheat Then 1 a&k the " Constant Reader , " ia it not manifest , that if a larger portion of these 47 , 00 » , 000 acres were appropriated to tillage , 4 c . —that if the vast amount of wastes were cultivated , and if the wheat lands were made to encroach on the parks , pleasure-grounds , &cif the suil of the United QueeEdom would not by far more than suffice to maintain its population in abundance under its imperfect state of cultivation ?
I think the above will prove that all which I stated was true , namely , that there were two acres of land and more for evtry head of a family , and not as he stated for every individual Then , again , he would fain ende&vonr to shew that I wanted the land taking from its owners , & « ., while 1 distinctly stated , that if every labouring man who bad a family , was allowed such a portion of laud at a fair rental , to enable him to * njoy the comforts of life —that it would tend to confer a lasting blessing upon society in general , instead of being locked up in those
accursed rattle-boxes , from six in the morning , uutil eight at night , and in using this argument , it went to prove the difference between a hand-loom weaver of thirty years ago , and one of the present day—of the small but happy manufacturers of former times , to the accursed factory system of the present time , which has nearly consumed and swallowed up all those independent labourers , and caused ruin and desolation in their once feappy homes , aud driven them to these soul-debasing places , and sacrificed them at the shrine of Mammon .
Such were the arguments above , made to shew the difference of the independent labourer of other days , to the slave of the prestnt ti mes ; and if he , the " Constant Reader , " be on 9 of those , who for the sake of lucre , ( aud it appears as if he was by his frequent writings , ) does sacrifice the life ' s blood and sinews of his fellowmen , well may he keep atirrfng up the old fire . The wound" will not heal ; hence he cannot forget . I envy nut the feelings of such a man . I deal not in byenames , or perhaps I could band some not of the most pleasing to the " Constant Reader . " la the mean time , I beg to subscribe myself , Truly yours , In the cause of truth , Edward Clattos , " The impnssive speech maker , and the disappointed fugleman . "
P . S . Perhaps he has not forgot the remark of their own lecturer , Mr . Stewart , upon the factory system , namely , that he , Mr . Stewart , would not stand in the place of the factory lords at the day of judgment , for all the wealth of Mexico and Peru .

a great number of other places , both in England and Scotland . We are Borry to be unable to give theso resolutions at length , but our paper can only be filled . It comes but once a week , and Buch is the accumulating pressure of intelligence concerning the movem « Bt , that at least three papers weekly would be necessary to give all . We have no doubt that divcr 3 of our friends sometimes think themselves treated cavalierly ; wo onl y wish they had the opportunity of seeing our table , loaded as it now is with scores of letters , all more or less important , and many of which we are desirous to insert , but concerning which we are utterly helpless—the printer having already notified that the paper is more than full , while we have probably more than forty letters unopened .

Biddulph had expressed his satisfaction at the jury erapannolled to try the parties who had attempted , as was alleged , to assassinate him . The Earl of Charlf . ville once more read the letter of Mr . Biddulph , denying that he had d « ne so , and said that which ever party was right , justice had not been done , and the public mind never could be satisfied , knowing that three ribandmen were upon the jury . The Mnrquis of Normanbt felt it only necessary for him to protest against the supposition that there were three ribandmen on the jury adverted to . The Marquis ofNoRHANBY postponed the Drainage of Buildings Bill until Friday ; and their Lordships adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , April 27 . Notice was given by Mr . Easthope that he wonld move , on the 11 th ot May , for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Church-rates . Mr . Fresiifield meved for the appointment of a Select Committee , t * inquire into the comparative advantages of the southern ports of England , as points from whence to despatch the West India mails . The Hon . Gentleman contended that ne port offered such extensive advantages as Falraouth , from whence , however , the packets had been withdrawn in order to be transferred to Dartmouth , from motives of private and local interest . The public had a right , when an inferior port was selected , to bave an inquiry instituted with a view to ascertain which was really the port best suited , or what might be the reasons for selecting that wpjeb . was manifestly least suited for the purpose . Sir Charles Lemon seconded the
motion-Mr . F . U . Berkeley contended that Bristol was the best port for the purpose , particularly if the maila were to be conveyed by steam-vessels . The Chancellor of the Exchf . quer said that the Government had been solely actuated by the desire of consulting the ttue interests of the public . They had no power to compel the company , who had taken the contract , to make any port their station—they could only decido upon the place at which the mails were to bo taken up , and they had , accordingly , decided upon Dartmouth . Sir H . Vivian was of opinion that Falmouth was the preferable port from whence to send the mails , inasmuch as it was fifty-six inilea nearer to the West Indies than Dartmouth . Mr . O'Connell contended , that the beet ports would have been Valentia , Cork , or Bearhavon , in the south of Ireland , from whence a steamer would take only seven or eight days to go to Halifax .
After some further discussion , the motion of Mr . Freshfield was carried , by a majority of 54 against 50 . Tho Solicitor-General moved the appointment of a Cummhtee to consider the expediency of erecting a building in the neighbourhood of the inns of court , for the sittings of the courts of law aud equity , in lieu of the present courts adjoining to Westminster Hall , with a view to the more speedy , convenient , and effectual administration of justice . Sir E . Wilmot seconded the motion , which was agreed to .
Sir M . Wood having presented a petition from tbe nobility , gentry , bankers , &c of the metropolis , prayiDg that the Housa would adopt some means for opening Waterloo , Southwark , and Vauxtiall Bridges , moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to take into consideration the several plans for the improvement of the metropolis , concerning which reports were made to the House in the years 1 & 36 , 38 , 39 , and 1840 , together with any other plans for the same object which they may deem worthy of consideration , also the petitions for throwing open the bridges free of toll . The motion was then agreed to , and the House adjourned . Wednesday , April 28 . Upon the order of the day for the Irish Bill ,
Lord John Russell ruse to declare the intention of Government . They would not , he said , be justified , after tho vote which had sanctioned the second reading , in treating the vote of Monday night as destructive of the Bill . He proposed , therefore , to go on with the Committee , and take the sense of the House on the franchise proposed in the second clause . fc Lord Howick said , he still adhered to the opinions he had before expressed . Sir R . Pkel said , that the Ministers , the persons intrusted with the confidence of the Sovereign , had undertaken to settle this great subject , asserting the
necessity as well of defining the franchise as of adjusting the registration . Instead of defining the franchise , they proposed a measure for destroying it . Lord Howick had suggested a different principle , that of retaining tho beneficial interest , which he wished to preserve in addition to , not ia exclusion of , other franchise . Lord Morpeth said , that Lord Howick ' s amendment in favour of a £ 5 beneficial interest had not been resisted by Ministers as an addition to their own leaseholding qualification by rate of £ 8 , but as a substitution for it ; and on this £ 8 qualification they were determined to bave the sense of the House .
Mr . H . Grattan commented strongly on what he called the political jugglery carried on in the House , and tauuttd Lord Howick for being satisfied with obtaining a majority against his friends , and then backing out of bis propbaition in the best way he could . The House then went into Committee , and the first clause as amended was agreed to . When the second clause was proposed , Mr . Hume moved an amendment , the effect of which would be to render leases unnecessary to qualify parties to vote , and to substitute a simple occupancy . Some technical difficulty arose , and in order to eiiect his object , he moved that a lease of one year should be sufficient to qualify an elector .
After some discussion , Lord J . Russell said he would not deny that a franchise grounded upon occupation might be beneficial in Ireland , but ne was not so far satisfied that such a franchise would not lead to great evils as to justify him in adopt-Sir ' R . Peel said if the amendment of the Hon . Member for Kilkenny was pressed to a division , he would vote against it , in order that the division might be fairly taken upon the proposition of the Government . After a few observations from Mr . C Wood and Mr . Suiel , Mr . O'Connell said it was unnecessary io divide the House on the amendment , for the clause was an affirmative one , and he might at any time after move that a lease for one year should be sufficient also to entitle a man to vote . _
On a division , Mr . Home ' s amendment wm negatived by a majority of 513 to 47 , . , , Mr . Hums moved that the blank in the clause for the rating Bhould be filled up with words "five pounds , " instead of " eight pounds , " as proposed by the Government . _ Lord Mobpeth said the sum of £ 8 was fixed upon in order to conciliate as large a number as possible af the friends of Ireland , aud he saw nothing to be ashamed of in adopting such a course . Mr . O'Connmxl uupportcd the proposition of Mr . Home .

The committee again divided , and the motion of Mr . Hume was defeated by a majority of 434 to 126 . It was then moved , that the Chairman should report progress and ask leave to sit again , which motion was negatived on a division . . ¦ Mr . O'Cownkli , next mored that the Chairman should quit the chair . Lord J . Russell reqHested him to withdraw this motion , as it wonld . throw . the Bill wholly to the ground . ' Mr . O'Connell asked leave to withdraw this motion accordingly . ' V Lord J . Russell said , in answer to a question from Mr . Hume , that if this clause were carried he should go on with the Bill ; if rejected , he should abandon the measure . Sir T . Acland and Mr . JerviB pressed the House to allow the withdrawal of the motion , so as to brine the clause to a fair division .
Sir R . Peel expressed the wish of himself and his friends to have a decision taken on the clause unequivocally , and in the usual way . He proposed that Mr . O'Connell should be suffered to withdraw his motion , and that the bill should come xm for decision on Thursday , at fire o'clock . To this Lord John Russell agreed . The motion was then withdrawn , and the Chairman reported progress in the accustomed form .

JOHN FROST . Brother Chartists op Great Britain ! For you and for your holy cause has John Frost been victimized . His Whig-made widow is in the merciless hands of the same vulture-like crew—the remnant of his property is on the very brink of being lost for ever . Sixty pounds would save to the forlorn widow and family £ 100 a year —save the family from the ruthless vengeance your persecutors are thirsting to inflict .
I know well that the name of Frost , coupled with these circumstances , will make youstart to a man—that it w ll act upon you like electricity —that each and all will to their post—that all who cannot give will go to those who can—that before one week passes away there will have been transmitted to Mr . Hobson , at the Northern Star
office , enough to save the family of our good friend Frost . Brother Chartists , I am , your devoted Friend , L . Pitkethly . Huddersfield , 28 th April , 1841 .

IiEEDS . —Thk late Assault on Inspector Child . —On Monday last , John Fothergill , against whom a true bill was found at the last York assizes , in conjunction with Nicholson , Handly , and Addiman , ( on which the three latter were transported fifteen years , ) for a desperate and murderous assault on Inspector Child and Policeman Stubbs , whilst in the execution of their duty , was brought up at the Court House . Evidence of his identity was given , and the magistrates committed him to York Castle for trial at the next assizes . The prisoner absconded at the time , and has since been out of the way ; he was apprehended on Sunday night by ono of the nightly watch .
At a meeting held on Monday eveH . ng , at Mr . Joseph Oldroyd's , Quarry-hill , several fresh arrangements were made for extending the efforts of the society , and , among others , resolutions were passed strongly condemnatory of the " New Move " got up by Collins , Lovett , and Co ., and , at the same time , highly approving of the present organisation , and the conduct of our noble friend , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . The Theatre . —Our spirited manager opens on Monday night next , when a rich treat is provided for the lovers of song . He introduces to tho attention of the Leeds public , for fire nights , Miss Delcy and Mr . Templeton , who appear in the operas of " La Somnambula , " " Fra Diavola , " &o . These two
" birds of song" have just finished an engagement at the Manchester Theatre ; and we cheerfuUy transcribe from the Manchester Guardian , the following tribute to the efforts of the lady :- — " Miss Delcy is a singer of the highest promise , and an actress whose style is incomparably above that of most operatic heroines , because perfectly natural and truthful , and wholly free from the stilted dignity and jerking passions of the ordinary stage .. Her Amina is a beautiful piece of acting ; bo true to nature , so admirable in all its bye play , so chaste and unobtrusive in its conception and embodiment ; -it is the best Amina we have seen since poor Malibran made the part her own . In her singing , too . Miss Deloy is always correct , wisely shunning that overlaying of the music with ornament
which is the great fault of prima donnas in this country . She has evidently , been well trained , and possesses much command over her voice . Herstyle of singing in some of the sweet airs and duets of thia opera was very pleasing ; and she was very successful in imparting to them their respective characters of joy , or amazement , terror , grief , or despair . All these show that she rightly comprehends the end of her art , which is not to execute a difficult chromatic passage without fault , but to touch the feelings and awaken the sympathies of the auditor , by the happy union of sound and seaso . In this she will find , indeed she has already entered upon it , the path to deserved fame . " There can be no doubt but that the manager of Leeds Theatre will meet with that full support his efforts so richly deserve .
Attempt to Stah . —On Monday last , a young man named George Child , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , charged with / having attempted to stab Mr . Waterhouse , landlord of the Fox Inn , at Woodhouse Carr . The magistrates thought the offence of stabbing had not been made out , and fined the prisoner £ 5 , including costs ,, for an assault . He went to Wakefie . ld for two months in default of pay meHt . Death from Lock Jaw . —On Saturday last * an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of a young man
named John Whitley , twenty yearB of age , who camotohis death under the following circumstances : —The deceased , on Easter Monday , went out to shoot at small birds , for which purpose he had armed himself with a ' stick gun . ' He was alone , and it would appear from his own statement , thai , when he fired , the barrel of the gun burst , and shattered the fingers and thumb of his left hand . He went home , and was taken to the Infirmary , where lockjaw terminated his existence on Friday last . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
Awful Accident . —On Saturday last , an inquest was held at the Whitei Hart Inn , Beeston , by John Blackburn , Esq ., on view of the body of Robert Stan dish , aged eighteen years , who was killed by a steam engine , on the previous day . He was employed as engine-man at the mill of Messrs . Brown , at Beeston Hill ; and on Friday morning was cleaning the engine whilst it was at work . He was by himself in the engine-house , and was found laid on the floor with his brains knocked out , quite dead . It is Bupposed the cross-beam had struck him . Verdict— "Accidental death . "
Delay of the London Mail . —Yesterday ( Friday ) morning , the London mail did not arrive in Leeds until a quarter past eiulit o ' clock , being nearly' two hours beyond its time . We understand that this delay was occasioned by the Railway autliorites at Derby , ( at which place the mail arrived at its proper time , ) who refused to allow it to proceed on account of the non-arrival of the Worcestershire train . The engine and passengers were delayed an hour , and this is too bad ; but it surely will not be overlooked by the Post-office authorities , who , we think , will tell the railway folks at Derby to send the Londod mail forward at its proper time for the future . If they do not , they ought to do .
OXjDHAJM . —On Monday evening , the 26 th inst ., tho members of the Greenacres Moor" Choral Society , gave their first public concert in Providence Chapel , Regent-street , Oldham , . which was well attended ; the solos were well executed by Mrs .

Mr . C . Wood professed a desire to enlarge th * constituency of Ireland . He felt bound to T « u against the present clause , though quite aware thai its loss would lead to the loss of the Bill . Mr . Hume condemned Lord Howick and Mr n Wood for the embarrassment they had occasional to the Government , and accused Sir R . Peei Of j ? consistency . He also advised the Government to take a lesson from what had taken place , and notbt again so ready to modify their measures for the onr pose of conciliation . *> u Mr .

For the clause 289 Against it 3 uO Majority against Ministers - —11 Lord J . Ruesell now gave a sketch of the coarse which he had pursued , in order to obtain for Ireland the advantages which she was justly entitled to ex . pect as the result of the Catholic Relief Bill . As the second clause , which was the foundation of the BilL had been rejected by the House , further discussion was useless ; and he would , therefore , move that the Chairman should leave the chair .
Sir R . Peel defended himself and his supporters from the attacks made upon them for the coarse thev had pursued with respect to this Bill . Lord Howick repudiated the idea that he was indifferent to the welfare of the people of Ireland , and intimated that when he was a member of the Cabinet he was prepared to go further than erea his noble friend ( Lord J . Russell ) thought prudent at the time . After a few words from Mr . Slanet , Mr . Bernal put the question that he should leave the chair , which being agreed to , the Bill was of course lost . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

PUBLIC MEETING IN MANCHESTER FOR THE ELECTION OF THE PETITION CONVENTION . The above meeting , which had been publicly convened , was held in the Tib-street Room , on Wednesday evening , and was numerously attended . Mr . Littler , Member of the Provisional Executive was called to the Chair . _ In commencing the business he hoped that the meeting would attend to it in that manner which the important nature of it demanded , so that they might not only be satisfied themselves , but that they might give satisfaction to the whole country , which was now looking up to them to discharge their duty like men . He then apologised for the absence of Mr . Campbell , the secretary , who had gone to attend a
public meeting , which was then being held near Oldham . The chairman proceeded to read all the letters , whioh had been received by the Executive , of persons who had been nominated , and who were determined to stand the election ; and for the satisfaction of the Birmingham people , he wished to inform them that their letter had just arrived in time . He likewise read a separate list of those put in nomination ; after which he proceeded with the assistance of Mr . James Cartledge , another member of the Executive , to cut them off one by one , read them up , aud screw them into a small compass , and put them into a hat . This being done , Mr . Joseph Linney moved , and Mr . Swainson seconded , " That Mr . Daniel Jackson , a blind man , and a sound Chartist , who was present , should take
the names from the hat , and then no one could say he had looked at them . This was carried unanimously . Accordingly the hat was given to him , and he took out the following names , which were read up one b y one and handed through the meeting : — First , Mr . Skevingtoo , of Loughborough : Second , Mr . Smart , of Leicester ; Third , Dr . M'Douall ; Fourth , Mr . Deegan , of Sunderland ; Fifth , Mr . Morgan , of Wales ; Sixth , Mr . Arthur , of Carlisl * . " Those added to the four before chosen , will constitute the Convention , whioh are as follows : —Mr . Pitkethly , Mr . Morgan Williams , Mr . Matthew Cullen , of Glasgow , and Mr . Bramman , of Ipswich . Mr . Jakes Leech said he thought they had been properly balloted for , and hoped there would be no cause of complaint .
The following resolution was moved by Mr . Joseph Linney , and seconded by Mr . Wm . Shearer , and carried with only one dissentient : — "That the business of electing the Convention has been openly , fairly , and consequently impartially conducted ; we therefore think that the most strict observer will not have the least grounds for accusation , either againstthe members of the Executive or the public meeting assembled . " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and thus peaceably ended the meeting .
