Shortly after eight o ' clock , the aboTe gentleman entered the hall , and was greeted with the moss enthusiastic cheering . Mr . John Bailey , who is a Catholic and a . Repealer of the Union , and a Bound Chartist , was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . Yinoent rose aod was again received by the most rapturous applause from all parties . After an introduction , he took up every point of ihe Charter , and analysed and explained them in a clear , powerful , talented , and convincing
mancir ; combating and refuting all objections which eould be adduced against giving the power to the people , and showed clearly ; he superior policy of the people agitating for a full measure of justice instead of an isolated grievance . He glanced at the question of teetotalism , which he recommended to be adopted generally , if possible . He adverted to Beveral other topic 3 , all of which he handled in a masterly manner , and , a 3 he had invited discussion , concluded an excellent and stimulating address , after occupying but a moderate time , in order to give an opportunity to othtr parties who wished to take part in the discussion . Daring the de ' ivery of his address , he was cheered at the conclusion of almost every sentence . After the cheering had subsided , he said
that on Friday eveaing he was at the meeting at the Corn Exchange , and addressed the people , there ; and , not knowing that any one was to fo llow , he left ; and , strange to ? ay , he saw in the Ma / ichester Timet report , that Mr . Watkins answered him in a Tery eloquent manner . He hoped , if any one had anything to say , be would do so before he left the room . He was open and willing to meet the best man of the League , provided hB came forward as their accredited agent . Mr . Finnigan then spoke but adTanced noming new . Mr . Vincent replied . Mr . Finnigan again spoke , and Mr . Vincent rejoined . As oar space will not admit of giving : both in fall , wo / jiv © ^ jther . At the conclusion of Mr . Knakan ' s last speech , he Bsid'that as the League
had been challenged by Mr . Vincent , he , as the agent , and on behalf of the Operative Association , would meet him in discussion . ( Hear . ) Mr . Tincent , in . consequence of the Corn Law party pressing for an answer , as to whether he would meet Mi . Finnigan , had to rise twice and state distinctly that he would meet the best man of the League , providing he came as their agent . This was not sufficiently definite . They wished an answer , either ye * or no . Mr . Vincent then rose , and said , ** No , " unless he came as before stated . At this the Corn Law part ; seemed as though they had gained a triumph . Mr . Vincent then stated thtt be eared not who it was , even Mr . Finnigan , if Ihe League appointed him . A resolution was proposed by Mr . YiMeai ia favoar of the Charier , which was lecofided

PUBLIC MEETING CALLED BY THE LEEDS PARLIAMENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening , a public meeting , called by the Leeds Reform Association ( alias the Fox and Goose Club ) , was held in the large room of the Commercial Buildings , ostensibly to promote a union all classes of Reformers—really to gull the Chartists , if possible , by getting their assistance in passing anti-Corn Law resolutions . The "lads , " however , were too far north , and though no effort was made to get them together , ihey assembled ia full force , upset the ** Antia , " and passed a resolution in favour of the whole Charter . Many high sounding names were put forth by the promoters of the meeting , and amongst the rest Col . Thompson , Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P ., a Mr . C . J . Symous , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . But all would not do . " Othello ' s occupation ' s gone !" The room was crowded to excess . Mr . James Gjlkth Marshall , the President of the Association , was called to the chair .
The Chaibmah said the meeting had been convened by the Leeds Parliamen tary Reform Association for the purpose of affording an opportunity to a few friends of the principles of free trade , and of tbe extension of the suffrage , of addressing them on some important points , with respect to the best means of forwarding the principles ot Reform . The object , he believed , was to lay before the meeting a statement of ( he real position of tbe people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrying into effect measures of Reform , and particularly to draw attention to tbe necessity for a cordial union of all classes of reformers . After some other explanatory observations , he said he would not detain them longer than to make an apology for Mr . Roebuck , who was
prevented by indisposition from attending . ( Criea or " He dare not come f " he ' s a traitor ; " why did he run away on Sharman Crawford ' s motion ?"} Col . Thompson having been called upon by the Chairman , then rose to address the meeting , and was received with cheers . He said as they had placed him in front he would briefly state his opinions . He suspected that there was not one man in ten in that meeting who did not agree in the proposition , that the defects in the representation of the people were the sources of the evils under which tbe country was suffering . He did not mean that they were the cause of men slipping down in the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable evils . He then went to show what constituted a Government , which he contended ought to rest solely oa the representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , and not merely for ( he happinesa of a select few . All
classes were called upon to support tbe Government , and to obey the laws of the country ; all classes , therefore , ought to have an equal power In the making of the laws . As a protection in the exercise of this power , the poor man ought to have the Ballot , that he might xeroise his power ia an independent manner . The aristocracy , in all their transactions , were careful for themselves , but when the people asked for the same protection , it was denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merchant and manufaetarer had , and ought to have , considerable inflneace over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bulk of the people should have none at all . It was like a joint stock company ; different members might have different proportions of shares in it , but he thought no one ever heard of a joint stock company where tbe shares of some of the company were nothing . ( Httr , hear . ) He thought all would

agree that the representation wanted amending , and he advised them not to think it was a hopeless business , which it might be , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who saw the necessity of a change , and he exhorted them not to refuse the assistance of such men , but to go on with those who would go on with them . One result of defective representation was the restriction upon industry , which amounted to the demand of a greater amount of the time and labour of the operative for a given quantity of fcod , to those who had thai food at their disposal . He stood there the advocate for improvement in the representation . ( Lond cheers . ) He knew no man who had gone / farther
than he had done . ( Continued cheers ) There was a document called tho Charter , which he believed to be nothing but a fair embodiment of those principles of justice for which great and good men in these latter times had fought and contested . ( Prolonged cheering ) it contained , he believed , five points , which were agreed on before the document was dawn up . It was his good fortune to be one of eigfaiar ten members of Parliament concerned in drawing up that -document . ( Cheers . ) He had never denied it—he had never shrunk from it—he had never disavowed the name , and never been afraid to be called a Chartist . ( Hear ; hear , and cries ot " Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) But there was a difference of opinion concerning the way in which that
Charter shonid be advocated . ' They were told there was only one Charter , only one Chartism , and only one way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of " That ^ s true . ') He did not think that those who held that opinion would be able to prevent a large body of men from taking another way with respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to gain the Charter was by uniting on those great and pressing evils with the numbers of powerful men who were willing to go with them . ( Hear . ) He did not ask any man or body of men to give up their own objects . What he wanted to submit to that meeting was , whethe r it would not be best on the whole , admitting differenoes of opinion , but not quarrelling about them , lo let each go his own way , if he could , and welcome . ( Hear , hear . ) Why should not oae party
say to another , if you Can put down or make an impression on the evil , ia God ' s name go on . If we can put down or make an impression on the evil , in God ' s name do not hinder us . ( Cheors . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the proposal which he came to make . He left it for them to consider whether there was not something like rational sense and good reason iu it , and whether there were not many of them who would not be inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommended . ( The Coionel eat down with applause . ) Mr . Hamkh StaIiSFeld , in moving the first resolution , said he would not detain them long ; his health would not permit him to address them . He hoped tbe proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , in promoting that union which was so desirable . Tho resolution was— That this
meeting views the defective state of the representation as the source of the Buffering under which the country labours . " Mr . John Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Jellinger Stmonds supported the resolution He believed there was no safety iu this oountry , nor any chance of restoring the national prosperity , without the people were invested with a full and fair share in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) The landowners had returned the present House of Commons , and so long as they were permitted to have a monopoly in the legislation , so long would the interests of the people be sacrificed to the cupidity of a wealthy and Belnsh aristocracy . If , however , the working classes expected to have their grievances redressed , they must be united among themselves .
Union was strength—division was weakness . He had lately visited Switzerland , where the representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was iu full operation , and at the same time , there was the most cordial union between masters and men . This state of things was productive of the greatest possible benefit to tho country , and he did not believe there was a more prosperous people to be found thau those of Switzerland , where , it should be borne in in hid , Universal Suffrage was the law of tbe land . ( Loud cheers J The speaker , after thus paving the way , went to the question of the Corn Laws , making it evident that he had received & retaining fee on that point . He was of opinion that machinery did not injure the working man ; he got , however , some pretty intelligible hints that working men did not agree with him .
The Chairman then put the resolution to tbe meeting , and it was carried with one dissentient . Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows — "That the confiscation of the property of the industrious classes , inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is the most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , and various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuistical nature of the proceedings , aud it was at ouce determined that , as the League had thus
attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in resolution 1 , the meeting would endeavour to bring them back to the real question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He contended that the Corn Laws were really one of the greatest " practical" grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called himself Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by the Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was the results ot the Cora Laws , the landlords secured to themselves the monopoly of law-making .
Mr . Nicholls , sn operatire , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Goose Club , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Joseph Lees replied to the " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised ho had not exhibited more practice in his resolution . The first resolution admitted that the source of all the evils of the country was in de'ective representation , and had Dr . Smiles been a practical man , as he professed to be , he would bare at once , afcer the source had been admitted , have come boldly out with the remedy . ( Cheers . ) It was of no use endeavouring to lop off only a defective branch ; they must go at once to the root , as the only practical means of remedy . He was a Chartist root and
branch—( shouts of " Bravo , lad , go on , " )—and though he had not hitherto publicly advocated the Charter , yet his opinions were so well known as not to be misunderstood . ( Great cheers . ) They had seen tho Corn Law agitation commenced two years ago , and commmtneed just at the time when the Charter was about to take its winning and widening way in the country . ( Loud cheers . ) There were very great suspicions the time whether the Corn Lav agitation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise . ( Loud cries of No , no , " from the Foxes . ) Now , after two years of agitation , where were they 1 If they had supported the Charter for that time , would Peel have dared to dismiss the Parliament for five months . ( Shouts of " No , no , " and loud cheers . )
With such a union of agitation they might have had an army that neither Whigs nor Tories could have stood against . ( Tremendous obeering . ) That meeting ought to consider in what way they could best obtain their rights . They had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found it would not answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not come to tho Chartists , because they would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick at , they should say , at once , this association will go the whole length as a Chartist Association . ^ . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He concluded by moving ' . ' . That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Charter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , and threw the whole " League " nearly into convulsiofis . )
Mr . Andrew Gardner was received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motioa , said he thought the storm had now commenced , but , whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoped every man would be allowed a fair hearing . This was the second act of the Marshall ' s mill meeting ; that was got up to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought he could wheedle the Chartisis well ; with only two exceptions , every speaker then present avowed themselves for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to unite the middle and lower classes . ( Hear , hear . ) Had the Household Suffrage succeeded i ( Shouts of " No . no . "}
Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back 1 Why did not their Association come out at once for the whole Charter 1 Why shonid not they all unite on an equality of rights ? ( Great cheering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but denied the j » raticabiUty of getting it . ( Criea of We can get it / ' ) He said it was possible to get it , but they would get nothing less than the Charter , because the Chartists would not agitate for any mortal thine less than the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the best man amongst the middle classes , and be believed no one had been worse treated by thei . WUi parly than Colonel Thompson had been . He bad avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he would abide bv it . / Hear .

Roebuck 1 ( Cheers , uproar , and cries of u He dare not come 1 " ) He was a Universal Suffrage man , and he had acted a yerj treasonable part against the people . He thought he was afraidto oome , something like another of their friends , he meant Dan . ( Loud shouts of " No , no . " ) Ho ought to make a tour through the country , and submit his conduct to a vote of eensnre or of thanks i n every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither "Whi gs nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . ) If the Reform Association were sincere in their object of union , let them lay down a good basis of union on which the Chartista oould stand as well ag them-

He came out , at the close of his address , with an exhortation to temperance . Mr . WBSTLAKs < a Chartist , ) was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis .
Mr . R . F . Lees said , they were met there that night , not to speak as to particular grievances , but to a 9 k on what principles they were to unite in order to get all thoir wrongs redressed . ( Loud cheers ) What said Col . Thompson t He said that , because the manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of the aristocraoy , were suffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object of resolution second } To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he would ask , when those laws wew destroyed , did not the interest of the manufacturing aristocrats cease to be identified with their interests ! ( Loud cheers ) Then he would ask them , calmly , and seriously , what pledge . had they , when the Corn
Laws were destroyed and the pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objeots 1 ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen ! aud he was afrpd that Euho would answer , Where ! ( Laughter !) That was a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and they severed the principle of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked them to give their voices , and declare in Court and Parliament that the great practical grievance Wds the Corn Laws . Their reply was . Give us our rights , our votes , and we will destroy that aud every other grievance . ( Enthusiastic cheering J If they were rational enough to give their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repeated cheers . ) . Thouah thev mieht assist
them to destroy the Corn Laws iu two or three years , when that was done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Curtis said the instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Cora Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when the greatest of practical grievances waa perpetrated without it t Hewas a- thoroughgoing Radical , a Chartist , if they liked the name . He was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Chrii-1 , and he maintained that the practical axiom of all life was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud cheers . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from the powerful aristooracy of the country , a repeal of the Corn Laws , which raised the rents , which supplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . )
Mr . Thos . Punt rose uuder greatly excited feelings , and first endeavoured to bully , then to coax the meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst great interruption , and made a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chaibman then put the amendment and the original resolution to the meetiner , when there was a tremendous majority in favour of the amendment . This , however , did not satisfy the " League , " and a proposition was made that the two parties should divide themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room
to the right of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This was acceded to after some demur , and the two parties having taken their respective positions , the number in favour of the amendment appeared to be more thau four to one as compared with those in favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Chairman , however , when he had got the meeting divided , again went through the ceremony of taking a show of hands , and this having satisfied him , he deolared thi amendment carried .
This announcement was received with tremendous cheering , clapping of hands , < fec , which lasted for somo minutes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . " Dr . Smiles then moved , and Mr . Andrew Gardener seconded , a vote of thanks to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . ' A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been given for O'Connor , for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o ' clock .

TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR Sir . —The Spinners' body have sent delegates to various parts of the country , who have written to the committee requesting them to ascertain the number of those already out of employment ; the number of mills working short time , stopped altogether , and under notice of abatement , and that the aauia might be inserted tn the Northern Star , to corroborate' the statements made to tha public themselves verbally ; to carry out which the committee assembled and choose a deputation to wait upon me , soliciting me to furnish the Editor with the following facts on their authority to the contradiction of which they bid defiance , therefore humbly begging insertion in this week ' s publication . The folio wing . then , is what they wish to lay before
the country , leaving ah impartial pnblic to form seme conception of the amount of poverty and its concomitant evils -which exists in this , bnt a short time since , termed flourishing town . Tbe total number of cotton mills in the town is thirty-six , out of which there are seven entirely stopped , at which wera employed 4 , 5 * 0 people , composed of men , women , and children . The spinners , fifty- seven in number , have tamed out of these mills to resist a reduction offered , amounting to from 17 £ to 19 ^ per cent , or in other words it will take as much as trom nine to eleven BbiUinga per week from their weekly earnings . From reading the above , many would be led to suppose that if they could take eleven shillings from their wages , that previously they must have been good : in answer to which , the double
deckers and self-acting mules have taken many piecers , and the spinner must have piecers or he cannot work at all ; be therefore is responsible for , and must pay their , wages , and if the pieccra cannot earn Jew much under a spinner as they can npon the self-acting males , they , as a matter of course , will not engage ; hence it is that on many occasions they have had to pay money out of their own pockets to make up the piecers' wages , or otherwise leave their wheels , and thus have they gone home , after working fox a whole week , several shillings out of pocket ; for in such cases masters would oniy laugh at them were they to complain . There are eleven masters who have given notice of an abatement , which , If effected , will take £ 89 2 s . fid . per week from the spinning branch alone , and oat of circulation ; wilt
throw 250 spinners into the street if the masters persist , and will compel 4 , 600 to be out , * who depend upon the running of the spinning frames , such aa card-room hands , weavers , < fec ., &o . The above will not be all , as no sooner do the kind-hearted Christian , religious , and Corn Law repealing cotton lords find they have succeeded in reducing one branch , tkan they commence upon another ; in proof of which , one master has already- riven his throstle spb mra nct' . ce that they most work for five shillings and sixpence , who have been earning from seven to nine shillings per week . Not content with bringing the spinners down , the masters of three mills have attempted to reduce the self-acting piecers , who are also oat walking the streets , resisting it . The are only six mills working
fall time in the town . From the above foots , to say nothing of the other trades who are without employment , a conception may be formed of the condition of the inhabitants of Stockport ; but what would they , who are strangers to it think , or say when informed that there are industrious sober mechanics , joiners , bricklayers , plasterers , all in the building line , whose wives and children are without food , and that such is the destitution to which some are brought , that they have gathered up potatoe peelings , washed them and eaten them , after being thrown away by their neighbours . That they have , been from door to door to beg peelings , for the same purpose . Whole families living on nothing but meal and water , many no flro in the house , and to see four or five children in others crying of hanger at
once . I saw a man yesterday who told me his wife is nearly clammed to death ; that such has been the condition to which she has been reduced by hunger and privation , that when she goes to a neighbours to assist in washing , the food she gets being better than her own , wont remain upon her stomach . He himself had been for two days with only an onion , and to use his own words , had it not been for even that he would have been clammed to death . This is a man whose character for sobriety , honesty , and industry is unimpeachable ; who before the factory stopped at which he worked , was an overlooker , who too is a sincere Chartist , and suffered twelve months imprisonment for trying to better the condition of his fellow creatures ; and here I stake my reputation on the factt willing to meet any one who disputes it , that if something is not done for him , my brother Chartist who is as
quiet , civil , and moral a man as any ia the borough , that both he and his wife will be found some morning before long dead for the want of necessaries to keep them alive . Englishmen , do you need more ? I ceuld continue to pourtray cases which would fill a volume . I could give an uninterrupted catalogue of such misery , I am quite depressed—quite hurt ; yes , nearly heart-broken to witness suoh heart-rending scenes , and to hear the females tell , while tears gosh from their eyes , their tales of distress and the treatment they have received from those who ought to be guardians of the poor . Instead of relieving them they have told them to go home and sell their goods before they crave relief . Hoping you will insert this , to oblige the spinners , and let the public know the situation of the people , I am , yours , William Griffin .
Thursday Evening , Oct . 21 . —There has no concession been made yet by the cotton masters of this town . A reconciliation seems to be almost impossible . Duress increases to a most alarming extent , and what will become of the people God only knows . There are upwards of tw < t , hundred more turn-outs this week , m addition to those out before . The reduction offered is so frightful , that there appears to be no disposition , on the part of the workmen , to submit . The consequence will be , that thousands more , who have to deptud upon tho spinners for weft and twist , will be out of work shortly . A public meeting was to be held yesterday , ( Friday . )
