      PrBLic Meeting . —A public meeting of the directors of the la-uari . i'iiir& TTiriversal Suffrage Association , and other active Chartists called by public a-i-reriiiejnent , -was held on the nigh ' , of the 23 vl instant , in their Hall , College-Open . Mr . Martin 'was unanimously appointed chairman . He brkny adverted to the import-Ant business , "which had called faera togtihti ; and concluded by calling upon Mr . Brovrn , secretary , to read the inmates of the former meeting . After the

      aecet&ry had read the minutes , he recommended the propriety of all the Chartists in Glasgow , and its suburban districts , to pet ibemseiYes in possession of a ticket , some thousands of -which were in the tands of Mr . Walker , mb-tressurer . The ticket itself was a splendid « pecimen of art ; on the right hand stood the goddess of of liberty , with a wreath ot laurel in the one hand , and in the other a spear bearing a cap of liberty on its point ; on the left hand was blind justice holding the ¦ ales in the one hand , and tie sword of justice in the other : on the four corners of the c&rd was Animal Parliaments , Vote by Billot , >' o Property Qualification , " aad Payment of Members ; and in the centre UniTersal Suffrage Mr . "Wright thought that the best mode of procedure -would be to ascertain from the

      various committees , belonging to the different districts BOW present , -what was their present situation , and Vhat quantity of tickets they would require . Af-. tr pine discussion oa the ticlets and articles Of the asBOGatioa , in which Messrs . CoJqubouii , Pinierton , Jlaleolm , and other * took part , Mr . Boss rose and re-. zoarked that a period was fart approaching when they vonld require all the pecuniary means they could possess , and all the icfiaense they could procure , when a stronjer * nion , and , if passible , still mare determined in their jwxposes than has yet been , would require to be organised withont the least possible delay , and the best iray to fcnow tiieir strength , was by the number ot persons holding tickets and becoming regular paying members . Mr . Rosa , before sitting down , stated that

      one of their old directors , who had gone to America , and who ina hera at present on some private business , gave a glowing description of the democratic institutions of that Republic , and declared that he neTer again ¦ would liTe under Monarchy . ( Caeers . ) Mr . Colquhoun thought that they should p 3 y particular attention to wiai had fellen from Mr . Ross , that the time might « x > n arrive when they would have to change their rales , their tickets , and their tactics . Mr . 31 'Pariane followed , and after delivering an eloquent address , in which he took a , view of our present and future prospects , concluded by moring that it be recommended in the three ChsrtUt churcbe * of Glasgow , in the

      meetings of our centre and aabnrban districts , and in the separta of the proceedings in the Chartists papers , that ail persona professing the principles of Chartism , whether male or female , should immediately possess a ticket and have their names enrolled , so that our foil trength may be known , and that the price be from one penny to as high a sum as the parties may be able or willing to give . This proposition was seconded by Mr . Colquhoun . ilr . Cullen spoke at considerable length in ia support . He said now was th » time to rally around out standard every fritnd of liberty -, it WiS now the Common ahit&tion when they met with one another , " What is to 1 * done ? - A coalition bt ' . weea WLSgs

      and Tories was hinted at , and a collision ministry likely to be the consequence of this deceitful alliance , hence the Chartists will likely become the first objects of attack every man will require to be at his post of duty and his watchword " the Charter and no surrender . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . M'Farlane " 8 proposition was then put from the cliair and unanimously adopted . A gentleman present alluded to Mr . O'Connor's visit to Glasgow , when Mr . Cullen again rose and said he believed that Mr . O'Connor ' s reception is Glasgow , notwithstanding the unfavourable season of the year , would be equal , nay , superior to the reception of Collins , White , and JL'Denial ! . He remarked that the large Hall now built at the Biza&r , and -which -would be finished by taa time Mr . 0 "Connor would be her * , could be procured for

      a soiree in the evening of the day he made his public entry into our city . It would contain he believed about four thousand persons ; in the meantime it was our duty while preparing for the reception of our friends , to be ready to repel despotism in whatever shape and from whatever quarter it may come . ( Cheers . ) It was then moved and seconded that lecturers be appointed to give a short lecture weekly in St . Ann ' B Church , after which a discussion on the Bubjectof the lecture to take place ; the said lecturers to be at the service of the districts , villages , and towns , that may choose to send for them , providing time and circumstances will permit The proposition was unanimously adopted ,

      after which the following list of lecturers was appointed namely . —Messrs . Gillespie , T * it , M-Ewing , Rodger , Jack , Murchie , M-Kay , Hoey , Kidd , M'Crae , Hamilton , M'Gbventy , Proudfoot , Murray , DoaeUy , Roy , Colquhoun , M'Farl&ne , Pattison , Gardner , Malcolm , Thomson , Cullen , Muirhead , Moir , Tboicasson , M'Cartcey , Kcss , W . Waiker , J . Walter , KelFy , Brown , Martin , and Cassells . A deputation from the Tillage of Toll Cross then requested two or three to attend their public meeting next night , Messrs . Brown , Muirhead , and Malcolm were appointed to attend the same . A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman , when the meeting dissolved .

      TOIL CBOSS . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Toll Gross was held in Ashworth ' s Hall , on the 24 th inst , at sevsn o ' clock p m . Mr . Clelland was unanimously appointed to the chair , who opened the bnslness of the meeting in a neat speech , and concluded by introducing Mr . Malcolm , from Glasgow , who delivered in his usual able manner , a vtry effective speech , which called forth repeated plaudits from the crowded meeting . He was followed by Mr . Crown in a speech of great eloquence and astounding facts . He reviewed the Pharisaical conduct of the clergy , pointed out the enormous expence of Church and State . He alluded to the pension of the Queen Dowager , which would give fifty pounds per year to two thousand families , which was about the population of Toll Cross , and showed the absurdity of one useless foreign female swallowing up what would make tfce whole of the virtuous and

      industrious inhabitant * of that village comfortable and happy . He then advocated , in a clear and forcible manner , the right of every man of twenty-one years of age to have a voice in making the laws which he was compelled to obey . Mr . Brown waa repeatedly cheered daring the course of his addr ess , Mr . Muirhead next spoke on the hypocrisy and injustice of Xhose who said the people were not sufficiently intelligent to be put in possession of the franchise . He sat down amid cheering ; it was then agreed that they would use every means which God and nature had given them for the purpose of carrying into law the virtuous principles of the People ' 3 Charter . Three tremendous cheers were then given for Feargus O'Connor , three for the exiled and other incarcerated Cbartists , and three for the Charter , and a vote of thanks to the chairman , when the meeting broke up , high in spirit and firm in purpose .

Smith , Newmarket ; and that Messrs . Maugham and Fainlocgh , see that the boxes be left in the above places . " " That in consequence of the disgusting treachery of that infamous renegade , John Collins , of Birmingham , the Chartists of Newcastle , consider that his portrait i given with the Star ) is not worthy of rocm in the house of any honest Chartist , and tiiat John CollinB and Arthur O'Neil are koth enemies to British liberty , and should be denounced by every Chartist in Great Britain . " "That a special meeting of the Chartists , and all ftksdly thereto , take place in the Chartist-room , Chancellor"s-Head Yard , on Monday evening next , at eight o'clock , to take immediate steps for the better organization of Newcastle and surrounding district .

      ' - Mr . > I . 4 S 0 >> " addressed a public meeting in the Spit-; tie , on "Wednesday evening , on the cause of the pre' sent distress and its only remedy . It was the best , meeting we have had in Newcastle for a longtime . We j think there could not be less than 3 , 000 . A great mr . ny j middle-class men were there ; likewise several blue i devils in disguise . Mr . Mason went to show j thai it was not owing to the Corn Laws , ( as the Whigs J say , ) because he showed that there was a greater quan * ' tity ef wealth produced last year , than had been for any j previous year—that the market was perfectly glutted , i and that the best remedy he knew was to get a law : passed to protect labour and shorten its hcurs daily , as ; the landholders got the Cum laws to enhance the ; value of their property . Mr . Mason spoke for nearly ( two hours , and was cheered throughout After Mr . : iiasoa had done , Mt . Matthew Robson was called to

      j the chair , when Mr . Crother moved , and Mr . Sinclair ¦ seconded the following resolution , which was carried : unanimously , viz : — " That in the opinion of this meeti ing , nothing s&ort of a full and fair representation in , the State is calculated to remove that misery so very ! prevalent amongst the unprotected millions , this meeting , therefore , pledges itself to unite ¦ with the National Charter Association of Great Britain j forthwith , and by their united energies , be enabled to I demand those rights , to which they are entitled by the j law of God and of common humanity . " Three cheers i were then given for Mr . O'Brien , M . P . ; three cheers , for Mr . O'Connor , and all the Whig victims , and three j cheers for the People's Charter . A vote of thanks was I carried for Mr . Mason , and the meeting separated j shortly after ten o ' clock .

      : BIRMINGHAM , — Chartist JIEET 1 XG , —A pab-. lie meeting was held at the Railway Station , Daddes-] ton Row , on Monday evening last . Mr . Grcorge White I addressed them at great length . He said that in a ] short time the real enemies of the people would take the reins of Government into their possession , and that i it would then be seen whether the Chartists were i lovers of Tory oppression and robbery . The Whigs bad | blamed them far allowing so many Tories to be returned \ Et tke late election , and now that they were about to ' ¦ be driven from the sweets of office , they were loud in ; their complaints against the Chartists . There was something " passing strange" in Whig doctrines ; for , pre-; Tious to the late elections , the Whigs declared that the , Chartists had no power , and were a mere fraction of

      the community ; but , after they are over , they admit them to be the most powerful body in the state . He maintained that the Whigs and their supporters were the only parties to whom blame ought to attach for ; the position which the Tori « s occupied . Had not the people carried the Reform Bill , and placed . the Whigs in power , with an overwhelming I majority in the House of Commons ? Had they ' not given the Whigs a trial for ten years ? j Had tht-y not allowed their former majority i to dwindle away , by their time-serving and hjpociiucal j acts , and converted the very name of liberty into an j unmeaning mockery , and disgusted every real reformer ' in the country ? For these reasons he was glad that they were out of office , aud that the open and avowed

      enemies of the people were about taking their places . The Whigs and middle c ' . asses had now learned an important lesson , namely , that they could not hold power w . thout the assistance of the working classes . The Chartists had at last attained their proper position , and had surmounted the opposition of the hired press of their opponents , and had triumphantly braved the hostility of the wealthy Tory and griping Whig . They now constituted the real movement party , because when the Whigs ceased to hold office , they were completely powerless , for the Chartists had got public opinion in their favour , and could carry a resolution in favour of

      . their principles at all public meetings , in opposition to ; the crotchets put forward by the people ' s pretended , friends . The working men should therefore be deteri mined not to be cajoled by any promises that might in : future be made . They had been once deceived , let ; them not fall again into the same trap . He advised j them to organise , and prepare themselves for the I sophistry of the Whigs , and be determined to have ! nothing less than the Charter . After dwelling on a I variety © f other topics , he concluded by calling on i them to join the National Charter Association . Nefcice ' was then given that the meeting in future would be ' held on Tuesday .

      Repeal of the TJsios !—A meeting took place at Mr . Gateley ' s , in Old Meeting-street , on Sunday evening last , for the purpose of assisting to forward the above object . Tfee large room was completely filled ¦ with a respectable body of English and Irishmen . Mr . O'Hara was called to the chair , and explained the object for which the meeting had been called . Various fcubscriptions were handed in from those who were favourable to the object . A discussion toek place on the merits of the Repeal question and the People ' s Charter . Several Irishmen objected to the conduct of the Chartists with regard to the Tories , and declared themaciT&s in favour of Chartist principles . Mr . George White addressed the meeting in defence « f the Chartists of Birmingham . They had not interfered in the quarrel betwetn Whigs aad Tories ,

      Untitled Article

      and had vindicated their principles In a straightforward manner . He declared himself to be a Repealer , and waa determined to addreas a public meeting on the ¦ abject , and hoped , ereloDg , to see the men of England and Ireland united for s Repeal of the Union , and the People ' s Charter , and by acting cordially together they might defy the united power of WhigB and Tories . He described the sufferings of the Irish nation , and hoped that the prejudice of country or religion would not be allowed to stand in the way of the cordial union of the lovers of liberty in both countries . Messrs . Green , Wilkinson , and several others addressed the meeting on tbe necessity of establishing a good understanding between the English ChatUsts and Irish Repealers . Several intelligent Irishmen declared their admiration of Chartist principles , and after a vote of thanks had been passed to the chairman , the meeting seprrated on the best possible terms , both parties wishing each other

Brown waB released from the fangs of Whiggery last week , and was invited to a tea party at the Christian Chartist Chutch on Tuesday evening last He was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment , and had but a few weeks to serve , so that he has not much cause to feel thankful to bis persecutors .

      BRADFORD . —We have had the Rev . Mr . Jackson lecturing here last week to crowded audiences . He has made a powerful impression on the minds of the people . Toe good he has done is likely to be lasting , for his lectures are yet the topic of conversation . At the close ot his last lecture on Thursday tho 22 d , Mr .

The discussion of the circular was adjourned till next Monday evening . An instructive and and animated discussion then took place upon the following resolution : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting to deny the right of the franchise to any man who has not forfeited it by crime is tyranny—that any man who does so is unfit for the offic « of Legislator , and unworthy tbe name of 'Liberal . - That the Whiga , by their Coercion Bills—their accursed Poor Law Cruelty BUI-their mean and unmanly persecution of every honest man who had the courage to denounce their tyranny and injustice—have proved thomselves equal to tbe Tories in everything that is oppressive , tyrannical , and despotic—their transporting the noble-minded Frost and his

      companions , after the majority of the Judges had declared their conviction to be illegal , and their continuing to keep those men in exile after the House of Lords bad ( for Lord Melbourne and the whole of the Judges were there ) by the acquittal of " Cardigan , " virtually declared they ought to have been acquitted—proves thtm to be destitute of every principle of justice as they are evidently dead to every feeling of humanity Therefore , we consider it to be the duty ot every Chartist—of every bonest man—of every I « ver of liberty and his connby—to eodearoar , by all and evtry means in his power , ( constitutionally ) to annihilate both factions—and use their best exertions at the mxt elections , to get honest men returned te Parliament that will give us the Charter , the whole Charter and nothing less than the Charter . "—Carried . Our num bers are increasing , and the princip les of Chartism is gaining pound . The middle class gentlemen are be . ginning to see that Chartism is not so frightful as thev were led to believe . UM >/

The Whigs would try to lead them » way on some other track , but do not

      Seiieve them , for they lie like the Devil himself- Whatever party made the Charter their principle of movement , be would back them out ; for when every man txs a veto there is no danger , as each can then watch his neighbour .
