GREAT MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL . On Monday , the Town-Hall of Hull was , for the first time , occupieH by and appropriated to the business of its rigJitful owntru , the people . A requisition , signed by nearly lv ? o hunuied mhabiisuits , oi whom upwards of seventy were voters , having been forwarded to toe Mayor , requesting him to call a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take Into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kingdoms in the Commons ' Hoase of Parliament , with a view to its amendment , the Major convened a meeting of ( tie inhabitants of the borough , for Monday , to by holdeu ia the Town-Hall , at one in the atteruoon .
It had been represented to his Worship that this was a most inconvenient hour for the people , that great numbers who felt strongly interested in the matters of consideration to be brought before the meeting , would be , of necessity , excluded by this arrangement ; but he refused to give the use of the hall for an erebing meeting , and exacted from the deputation of lequisiiom who waited upon him , a pledge that the proceedings of the meeting should not be continued after dut-k . Notwithstanding , however , thiB disadvantage , even the Morning Chronicle
is compelled to admit that the hall was densely crowded . It was , indeed , densely crowded , and 110 mistake ; and would have been so had it been capable of accommodating a much greater number . A committee of the rtquisitors met in the Grand Jury Room , and the doors of the ball were thrown open to the public at half-past twelve . About one oclock , Mr . Padget , a working man , proposed that in the absence of the Mayor , the veteran Radical , Mr . John Jackpon , should take the chair . This proposal beiDg seconded , was carried unanimously .
The Chairman regretted that the absence of the Chief Magistrate , by whom tho meeting had been called , should have furnished the present opportunity to his fellow townsmen of testifying towards him their good opinion . Ic would certaiiuy have pleased him better to have seen the chair in other oconpancy , bat since they had thought proper to call him to the office , he would discharge itsdutiea in ttw beet manner of which he was capable ; and he hoped ho should have the support and kindly consideration of the meeting in the office to which they had called him . ( Cheers . ) He held the first duty of a chairman to be impartiality—( hear , hear)—and he trusted that they would not find him deficient in that necessary qnalfication . Ha hoped that all Epenkers would ho heard
patiently , and that the matters of discussion to be brought before them—matters in which the interests of the whole nation were involved—would be seriously considered , and dijspasiouateiy treated . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Ho would not further detain them from the business of the meeting , but would introduce to them Mr . John Peck , who had been appointed to move a resolution . Mb . Peck was received with loud cheers . He congratulated himself , tho Chairman , and his brother Chartists , upon having come , for tho first time , into possession of their own Hall . ( Cheers . ) It happened usually , and had always happened hitherto , that buildings euch as that in which they ¦ we re now assembled , and ¦ which were raised ,
Bupported , and upholdcu by the people , were occupied for the use aud service of all parties but the people . ( Hear , hear . ) The working people had stronger claims upon the use of that Hall than any other party , but till now their claims had been always disregarded—( hear , hear , )—and even now , the right they were exercising to meet in their ' _ own Hall , was accompanied with what ho could not under- ( stand otherwise than as something very nearly approaching to a contumelious slight . ( Hear , hear . ) That was the first time in the courso of his experience , in whtch a meeting ^ eailed-fcy the Mayor had not been opened by that functionary , and ho thought that this circumstance required some better explanation than had been yet given of it . He was
quite willing to admit that the Mayor might have many engagements , and he believed the meeting could not have desired to inflict upon him any inconvenience ; but he did think that respectful courtesy to the party to whom he professed to belong , —that gratitude fer services past , rendered by those to whose exertions he and his fellow corporators owned their elevation , ought to have induced him not to forego ia this particulor instance the regular usage of the borough . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) If his avocations precluded him from continuing with them during the meeting , he might . at least have come down and opened ic . What might be his reason for this discourtesy it was not , of course , for him to Bay ; perhaps his Worship might have been affrighted by the caricatures of
Chartist speakers drawn by the venal press of the factious , and might have feared tbe compromising of his character and dignity by some incautious or intemperate language ; he trusted , however , that if this were so , the result of the present meeting would convince him that his apprehensions had been needless and that , a 3 they were now upon their good behaviour—( cheers and a laugh)—bound in some sort by the circumstances attending their occupation of that Hall , —every speaker who might be introduced to them would see the necessity of exercising prudence , and selecting his words with caution , that they might bid effectual defiance to the spy brigade . He had been appointed to move two resolutions whioh he would now read to them : —
" Resolved , —ltt . That it is the opinion of thia meeting , that in consequence of tke present corrupt and defective state of tbe representation of these Kingdoms in the Common ' s House of Parliament , and the ectire failure of the so-calied Reform Bill , an organic change is necessary , or the country will be involved in one common rain : —2 nd ., That in tbe opinion of this meeting , it is essential to the well-being of this realm , that the Commons House of Parliament be elected annually by the free votes of all male subject * tweaty-

one years of age and upwards ,, without reference to rank or property either intth > : voters or members to be elected . " > The reading of the resolutioos was followed by cries of Hear , hear , " and applause . Ho w » 8 there to maintain : the principles inyolved in those resolutions , and , in the terms of the requisition , to comphin of the defective state of the representation of the people in the so-called Commons' House . There wtre many points in which that representation was glaringly defective . ( Hear , hear . ) The first of these was in the fact that many of those who were nominally , were npt really , represented ; because , for want of the protection of the Ballot , many persons who held the elective franchise were unable to
exercise it conscientiously , or is accordance with what they considered to be the interests of the country . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He comp lained of the representation being defective , because the present system conferred upon the representative an undue tenure of his office . He contended that the Parliament which passed the Septennial Act , had no right to do so—that it was a stretch of legislative power beyond its due limits , fully equal to that of the Loi > g Parliament which prolonged its sittings in defiance of constitutional usage for the term of fourteen years . The people claimed that they should have Annual Parliaments for the squaring and settling up of their accounts with tkeir representatives . A tradesman who should
talkof settling accounts once in seven years would be accounted a disreputable shuffling fellow , and he knew not why the same epithets should not apply to Legislators . ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) The people complained also , of the defectiveness of the representative system , inasmuch as it made the test ofiitness in a representative to be not merit or intelligence , but property . This was little else , in his estimation , but a bonus to the landed interest . It would be , in his opinion , equally as reasonable and just to require that a man should possess two ships as a qualification , as to require him to hold landed property to the amount of £ 300 a-year . ( Cheers , and laughter ) He maintained that the people had
a right to select their representatives from amongst the poorest and the humblest , if these were honest and intelligent , and that these were even more likely to ba fit representatives , because more intimately and practically acquainted with the wants and feelings and intends of the people . ( Long-continued cheering . ) The people complained also that the present state of representation was defeotive , because of its unequal distribution of its electoral privileges ; numbers of small towns , possessing few inhabitants , ana comparatively little importance in the country , had equally as many , and in some cases more representatives than other towns of vast magnitude , extentive population , and great influence . Of these several instances were named
i > y the speaker amidst the cheers of the meeting . These were heavy matters of complaint against the present system of electoral representation , but there was one which very far outweighed them ail , and to this crowning grievance he would now direct attention . They complained of non-repreeuutation—( great cheering )—they complained that the damning brand of slavery was imprinted on their brows—they complained that they were subject to laws in the enacting of which they had no voice or power—that they were taxed for tbe upholding of a system whioh they disapproved , and by the operation of which their interests were sacrificed , and they wore there to tell their rulers in a voice of thunder , that they would bear thvse things no longer .
( Loud and long continued cheering . ) They were there to demand that the artisan should be no longer shut 1 out from the pale of the constitution , —( loud cheers);—that he ^ aould no longer be excluded from his fair share in the Government of that country whose wealth he created , and whose interests he was at all times called upon to defend . ( Cheers . ) They were there to demand that the pledges of the middle and upper classes , who obtained the power to vote by tho assistance of the labouri ng classes , should be now redeemed by the extension of that same power of voting to the labourers . ( Loud cheers . ) Who carried the Reform Bill ? Not tho aristocracy ; not the middle classes . The people carri .-d the Reform Bill fur the middle classes , and was it now to bo said that tho middle classes would not come forward to assist the working classes in carrvina the Charter ! the only measure
whioh could redeem tbe country from us distresses , and preserve the middle classes from the rain which now secm 3 to-await thorn . ( Hear . ) If any class wero entitled to be represented it was the poor ; representation was due to , thorn on the score oi justice , for under ti ^ -present system there was no justice for the working man . Let it not be said that the law was protection for him ; for while 11 , 000 Acts of Parliament had been passed for the protection of the rich , be would defy aBy man to say that one had been passed for the protection of the poor . ( Loud cries of" hear , hear . ") And why was this 1 It was the effect of class legislation , by whioh all were represented except those who were by every principle of justice and reason the most entitled to it . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The working classes need the franchise to proteot their own interests , aud why Bhould they not have it t ( Cheers . ) The speaker concluded by moving the resolutions .
Mr . Samuel Healky , ia seconding tha resolution , said he did so simply because be thought every man ought to have » voice in the making of those laws by which ho . was to be governed . It was not right that Jack should have all the shot , and the officers all the prize-money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Tbe speaker said the Whigs had sacrificed the interests of the country for their own selfish purposes : they had confessed that tho power was in the people , and they bad been carried into power by the people , after promising what they would do for them in return ; aud , after all , the only measure they had given them was the finality Reform Bill , by whioh the people were made worse off than they were before , and England , instead of being the eavy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world , had , under their rule , become a bye-word and a
reproach . ( Hear , and cheers . ) After alluding to the distress existing in the country , Mr . Healey concluded by seconding the resolutions . Mr , Wm . Wjebsteu supported the resolutions , in a short speech , which ho conoluded by exhorting the working men of Hull to keep from the public houses , and avoid intoxicating drink , by waich they would prove to their rulers that they were worthy of the franchise , and of every other privilege that could be conferred upon them . Mr , G . W . Burns , also supported the resolutions , the entire principle of which he admitted , but in a loug rambling speech took occasion to make some remarks on the conduct of some parties , whom he denominated Chartist leaders , without , however , naming any particular individual , to whom he alluded . He spoke amidst some interruption , and tbe evident impatience of the whole mooting .
Mr . Wbst , the late West-Riding leoturer , who was present , also addressed tho meeting in support of tho resolution , and in reply to some observations which had fallen from Mr . Burns . Mr . West spoke for nearly an hour , in the most effective manner , delighting , not only the working olasses , but the middle classes also who were present , by whom he was listened to attentively and loudly cheered throughout . The principles of the Charter were never more clearly explained , and a powerful effect was produced on the minds of all pre-eut . An outline of his speech , garbled as it must necessarily be , would not convey to our readers its real worth , and to give it entire is beyond the limits of space at our command .
The resolutions were then put to the meeting by the Chairman , after having been read by the Town Clerk , and every hand in the crowded assembly was held up in their favour—not a dissentient voice was heard . The Rev . Willtam Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , moved the second resolution , for the adoption of the petition . He read the National Petition at length , and concluded by moving that it be the petition of the meeting . Mr . William Hornsby seoonded the resolution , aad aftwbeiag supported , in a few * emark » by Mr . William Tate , the petition was unanimously carried amidst tremendous cheering . Mr Daniel Malonev moved , and Mr . Robert Lundy seconded , the next resolution , which was as follows : —
" That this meeting pledges itself to' an unceasing perseverance in every species ol lawful and peaceable agitation tor the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter until they be recognised as the law of the land . " The resolution was carried unanimously . The petition was ordered to be laid at the Town Hall and other convenient places , for the signatures of the inhabitants . This being the last resolution , the Chairman vacated the chair , which was taken by Mr . S . Healy , and , on the motion of Mr . Peck , seconded by the Rev . W . Hill , thanks were voted to Mr . Jackson , for his unwearied exertions in the cause of freedom , aud his worthy conduct in the chair on that
occasion . The motion was carried by acclamation . Mr . Jackson returned thanks ; and cheers having been given for tbe Charter , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the people , the meeting separated at a little after five o'clock .
SOIREE AND BALL . That no part of the day might be lost , aad that opportunity might be afforded to those whoso engagements had precluded their attendance at the Town Hall , to testify their abidance in the principles asserted there by the town ' s voice , arrangements had been made for a soiree and ball , at the Chartists ' -room , Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytoiigate , where a most , pleasing and well-pleased company spent a delightful evening . We have no official statement of the numbers , but suppose that about 250 sat down to tea , which was of the best , and accompanied by an ample supply ef all the etceteras requisite to elegance ana comfort , got np by the activity and kindliness of a Committee of Female Chartists , to whom do email credit ifi due for their share of the buiine&a . After * due discussion of

the tea , toast , tarts , Ac . the tables were " sided , " and Mr . Hill having been called to the chair , reminded them that , in the middfc of their rejoicings , they should remember always the Christiau duties of patriotism and neighbourly love , for the exhibition of which he was happy 10 fintlthat the Committee appointed to conduct tbe day ' s proceeding ? , had afforded them an opportunity . It had been stated in the London newspapers that on the occasion of the baptism of the Royal Prince , the Queen would testify her sense of the recent manifestation of divine mercy on her behalf , by tbe extension of the royal pardon to Bach offenders as could be
recommended to her for good conduct while enduring the punishment ot their respective crimes in the the dockyards or elsewhere . It had been thought that the people ought not to permit this opportunity to escape without bringing under her Majesty ' s notice the patriot conviots , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and a memorial had therefore been prepared which would be now , he believed , submitted to them ior adoptio . n , praying that her Majesty would include those injured and outraged patriots in the list of those who on this occasion might experience the royal favour . This announcement was received with great
cheering . The memorial was moved , seconded , and supported in short but appropriate speeches , by Messrs . Webster , Lundy , and Jones . This dono , the Chairman vacated , the musicians ascended the platform , and healthful hilarity and peaceful merriment was the order of the day for the remainder of the night ; The vocal amusements , under the excellent management of Mr . Webster , were divided into two parts , of which the following is a programme : — PART I . Song , « ' Tbe Outlaw , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Tinker and Glazier , " Mr . Webster . Song , ¦ ' I remember , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Will Clewline , " By a Stranger , Song , " Hail to the Tyrol , " Mr . Hodgson . PART II . Song , " The White Squall , " Mr . Hodgson . Song , Pailadelphia Lawyer . " Mr . West Song , «' Kathleen O'AIeore , * ' most beautifully aungby a Lady . Recitation , " Mario Bizzaria , " Mr . Webi-tar . Song , " Scarlett Flower , " Mr . Hodgson . The songs and recitations gave great satisfaction to the company , and were very heartily cheered , they were interspersed with a variety of dances , quadrilles , country dances , waltzes , &c , so as to please all the tastes and capabilities ot the parties . The amusements were continued to a late hour , and the company separated , every one very highly delighted . Thus ended what may justly and properly be termed a high day in Hull tor Chartism .

Huix Corn Mabkbt , Tdesdat , Dec . 14 . —The weather still continues unfavourable , rain more or less almost every day since our report of last Tuesday . There is an improved tone in the large consuming markets in the West of Yorkshire and Lancashire , which is felt here , and holders of old Wheat are insisting on higher prices , at which however but little business is done . A } 1 spring Corn continues in the same dull state that we have so frequently noted lately , there being little or no domend for it . There is a large arrival of Linseed , which causes a dull sale , but not lower prices . Importers prefer landing rather than submitting to less money . There is very little passing in Bapeneed . We have not heard of auy transactions during the week , Both Rape and . Linseed Cake dearer , and
very little doing in either ; prices , however , withont alteration . Bones are more plentiful , and price the same as last week . To day ' s market met with a fair supply of farmers' Wheat , t ' ox all descriptions ot which they are asking more money . The best dry parcels are taken at an advance of fully U per qr , but no advance can be noted in tbe secondary qualities and those wanting condition , of which tho great bulk offering consists . More demand for old foreign * and on the sales of is per qr more has been paid : all the best parcels are held at further advanced rates . There is more doing in Oats , but without any alteration in prices . The best samples of Barley for malting command last week ' s rates ; inferior qualities almost unsaleable . Beans and Peas are dull sale , at a decline of Is per qr for both articles .
Newcastle Cobn Mabket , Satubday , Dec . 11 . — We had a moderate supply of Wheat at market this morning , which met a good demand at Is . per qr . over the rates of this day se ' nnight . A fair extent of business was done in foreign at last week's rates * but no ad ranee could be established . Rye is a dull sale . The arrivals of Barley this week are again large , and the inferior qualities have again suffered a further decline of Is . per quarter , while the best qualities are held for the same money , but the sale is dull . Beans and Peas are ottered on lower terms , without inducing purchasers . Malt is a very dull sale , and again Is . to 2 a . per quarter lower . W « had a large supply of Oats from the neighbourhood to-day , and the demand being good , last week ' s rates were fully maintained . Flour is a very dull sale .
LivenpooL Cobn Mabket , Monday , Dec - 13 . — The arrivals of thi 3 day week consist chiefly of about 11 , 083 loads of Oatmeal , and about 3 , 834 qrs . of Oats from Ireland and coastwise ; from abroad thotft have been reported 3 , 500 quarters of WheaS and 2 , 32 . 0 quarters of Beans ; of other articles of the trade the supply has been unimportant . At Tuesday s market an advance of 2 J . per bushel was obtained on the better descriptions of foreign free Wheat , and there was an improved demand for secondary qualities , in which Irish new participated . The trade has since been of » steady characterj _ and though the business in free Wheat and barrel Floor has not been extensive , we have had a fair demand at the full rates of Tuesday . Oats and Oatmeal have
met only limited sa ' e , but no change can be noted in the previous quotations for either . English Barley is Is . to * 2 j . per quarter lower , and difficult . ' to quit . Several parcels of Egyptian Beaaa have changed hands at 31 s . to 32 s . per 480 lbs . Peas are without alteration in value . Bonded Wheat has attracted some-attention ; the sales of tha ls £ t three days may probably amount to . 12 , 000 quarters , consisting chiefly of cargoes to arrive from the'Mediterranean ; those of good Odessa and . Polish at 443 . to 47 s . ; Barletta , 48 s . to 4 . 93 . per imperial quarter , cost free on board , including freight . Two parcels in store here have been disposed of , one of Barletta at 7 s . 4 d ., and another of Egyptian at 5 a . 6 d , per 701 bs . . > . '
London Cobn Exchange , Monday , Die . 13 th . — The supply of Wheat ironi Eisex , Kent , and Suffolk w . as somewhat larger than that of last Monday , and there was an increased quantity of Barley from all these counties , aud of beans and Peas from Essex and Kent , with a £ ood arrival of Barley from Norfolk , and of Oats from Lincolnshire , Yorkshire , and Scotland ; but few fresh arrivals are reported from Ireland . The imports of foreign grain haye been moderate during the past week . Theweatherhas continued to be in asuusettledastateasi ' orsometune past , and rain falls yet to some extent at short intervals . Good English Wheat met a moderate sale at fully as much money , a few dry samples commanding rather over last Monday ' s currency , bat the grea ter part of the supply was in poor condition , aud such was taken reluctantly , but not lower . Old
Foreign Wheat was held with more firmness , which somewhat checked sales ; the business transacted was only to a moderate extent , and at about the rates of this day se'unight . Ship Flour brought the prices of lasc Monday , the quotations for townmade were nominally unaltered . Prime Malting Barley met a ready sale at quite as much money , but secondary sorts were dull , and the turn lower Old Malt unchanged in price , bat in slow demand , and new offering rather cheaper . Beans j of all sorts , were takeu . slowly , but must be quoted unchanged in value . Peas met a limited sale , and , all but the best , la per qr . cheaper . There was a moderate business transacted in Oats , good heavy cora realising last week ' s currency , whilst the light and soft Irish were dull , although offering rather lowe again . Liuseed was much the same as last week .
London Smithfietd Mabket , Monbay , Dec . 13 . —This having been the day appointed for holding the great Christmas mark « t , the arrivals of beasts froth up from our grazing districts were brought ia at an early hour , and we have to notice that they exceeded those received at tho corresponding market last year by upwards of 600 . Notwithstanding the . immense collection of stock , so perfect were the arrangements effected by the market committee for its reception , that the confusion usually ensuing on these occasions was in a great measure avoided ; in fact , the only drawback upon the whole proceedings was the Uiipropitious and unfavourable state of the weather . The main strength of the supply of beasts was derived from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire
, Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk , Suffolk , and Essex . With respect to tho general quality of the beasts , it must be : admitted that it was seldom , if ever , equalled , and , when the late rains and ihe continued epidemic are considered , it must be allowed that this circumstance reflected the : greatest credit upon the graziers . Thore was , aa usual , a strong competition between the Herefords and Devons , and it was a matter of some difficulty to say which carried off the palm this year . As to theehorthorn 3 , runts , Sussex beasts , Soots both horned and polled , andDurhamff , they came fully up to our anticipations j indeed , $ more " even" supply was scarcely ever befere known . In noticing the best stock , in the market , we niuat not fail to state that the fifteen short-horns , the property of Sir Charles Kmgntley , were extraordinarily fine creatures , and every point bore the strictest scrutiny . We much
regret , and bo muBt every member of the club , tViat they were not shown in Baker-street . Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country buyers , but more particularly that of the former , 7 * 3 numerous , tbe beef trade , comparatively speaking lfrom , we should infer , the unfavourable ftata of the weather for slaughtering , there being yet two markets intervening between this and Uteistmas , and the advanced rates demanded by the salesmen )! w f 3 duH . yet there was a slight improvement , say of ii per 81 b , upon tbe currencies noted on Monday last , and a clearance was not effected without difficulty . There was a fair average number of sheep on the market ; . Prime old Downs sold at last week ' s currencies , but in other kindg next tq nothing vna passmg . Calves were in short supply , and sluggish inquiry at late rates . It" should be borne in mind that our general figures for beef do hot refer to the prize stock , which , of course , raid at higher rates .
