Mr iheab Fbievbs , —I think I have good news , — grand news—great news—for joq , this week . As yon know all that is . going on , you are aware that a vast gwann of Jocnstflj lay and clerical , have gathered Itogether in this great Metropolis , calling themselves s GonrLiw Conference . More than owe isousaito . ! Jo 5 t think of that hrsH congregated to deronr the proceeds of fte Manchester Bazaar show . Well , they spent a whole week ; holding ticket meetings , dealing in th ? most outrageous and inflammatory language , and laying their plans for the campaign , which opened this day . I 1
To-day they resolved upon an attack on the good people of the Borough of Southwark . Two hundred and twenty-eight inhabitant householders presented a requisition to the excellent High Bailiff , to con-Yene a meeting , at the Town Hall , Souibwark . The two Members , and several great guns from the League , were announced as speakers ; and , haying pledged my word to the good men of Chelsea thai I Tronld meet the League , npon the very first opportunity , I also determined to be present . Well , at one o ' clock , the hour appointed , the Town Hall was crammed -to suffocation , able
not one-fifth of the applicants being to procure admission : an adjournment was moved and carried io an immense war ehouse , whither we adjourned . The High Bailiff , in Tirtue of his office , took the chair ; and as , of course , yon "will see a report of the proceedings , I need not enter more fully into the details than to £ &y , ihai it was the first open meeting of the Plague since they haTe infested the . capital , and that we beat them twenty to one , the R ational Petition being proposed sb an amendment to a numbug petition against Sir Robert Peel ' s fcnmbng measure . Two of the middle class men moTed and seconded their petition ; -and two . working ntennoihiag daunted V tie pompons . array of
^ counrilmen in robes , bearing white wanjto , gallantly moved , and ably supported the amendmeni .-BainaIey moved , and Parker seconded the " amendment and Blackmore and I supported it -with all our might and main , and it was carried by a majority of twenty to one , amid the greatest applause l ever heard ; and this in London , too ! where the Rev . Mr . Spencer says the working men are not to be trusted , because they are so fond of show . Never in my life shall I forget the countenances and exultation of the "fustian jackets , " as we marched in procession from the place of meeting . It was the first attempt of the League in London , and they experienced a most woful defeat .
Now , you shall hear of some of their prarks since ihey armed in totrn . They l ave been be ll owing liberality like bulls ; but , upon the veritable delegates of the people of Lambeth , appointed at a public meeting , presenting themselves , they were told that , according to THEIR roles , no delegate elected at a meeting vrhere Chartist resolutions were passed could be ackneicledged as a delegate to the Conference . Now , the Lambeth delegates were the only delegates who were fairly or legally
chosen , and carious t o say they were the only ones who were rejected . Ah ! their complexion didn ' t suit the Plague . However , they twaddled away about cheap bread fora whole week , and on Friday last , Mr . Sturgc the guaier , invited some friends to meet him in the befrebhjie > t boom of the Crown and Anchor , for the pnrpose of considering what he cills entire or complete suffrage , which is a sprat to catch a mackerel . Messrs . Lovett , Hetherington , and others were there on Tors part , and contended for the NAME of the Charter , and \ no doabt thai the people ' s friends would consent
to a revision 0 } the details , if tae present details were objectionable . A Mr . Taunt ^ n , of Coventry , was the only man who spoke out at the conference , and insisted upon the people ' s right to the fullest measure of representation . Brougham , Sturge , Hume , and some of onr London friends of the order of working men who never work , are attempting to try . another " artful dodge" to gull the flits , but they will find themselves egregiousl y mistaken . . Now , mark what arranging details mean- The first Reform
Parliament met to arrange the details of that measure , and it was the most bloody Parliament of which history makes mention . They arranged the detail ? , by giving Ireland coercion and England starvation ! by making you pay ^ £ 20 , 600 , 000 sterling for the Emancipation of the Negroes 1 and by destroying the Tight of petition ! So they commenced , whileLtbey ended with a Rural Police , gaols full of working man , political offenders , war raging all over the world , and an empty Exchequer .
What they now propose is to adopt or to promise to adopt Universal Suffrage , and to allow the first Parliament , elected by Universal Suffrage to arrange the details , as they call the other points . Now , I beg of you to bear in mind , that a Parliament so chosen to arrange the details , must consist ot members fox coontips having £ 500 ; and members for tovrns and boroughs having £ 300 a year property ; and give me leave to ask you if a bouse of euch representatives would not still be the organ of their class 1 Then they are to hare seven years lease of it , and instead of being paid , to pay themselves ! Char tists , mark our progress .
Twelve months ago , they tried ns with Houshold Suffrage . We held oui against the delusion ; and now even the deluded would l * ngh at the mention of so mean a measure . I should look upon a House of Commons returned by Universal Saffrage , withont the other points of the Charter is a mockery—a 3 worse than nothing—as a bad edition of the worst sort of class legislation . We are approaching to dangerous times , as predicted the week before last . Russell ' s speech is a a&nifesi feeler for a coalition with Peel , rather than the vrhole hog with the total repealers . That
we can stand and beat . But , again , the new move , with an augmentation of force , 13 in the field . Brougham , Sturge , and Hume are the strings : the old offenders are the puppets . Sturge has been to Scotland to induce th « good men of Glasgow to « Jet srw leadkes ; and upon this point I shall be plain—very plain . Large sums of money have been devoted to the purpose of seduction . Sunderland , Leicester , Sheffield , and Birmingham are to he the four grand points of attack . We vifl beat them . And a 3 to getting rid of the old leaders , let U 3 perfectly understand each
other . As far as regards myself and my position , if joa are for any less measure than all contained in the People ' s Charter , say so , and let us part friends . I shall retarn to nay plough and my profession , and with a clear conscience say , that I have left the people bettar than I found them . I never will -quarrel with you—you shall not quarrel with me . Think God , I owe you nothing but gratitude , which jon ml ] have forfeited should you swerve from the Charter . For nine years and upwards I have been -amongst you : and now I tell you on my oath , that I will not go one inch with yon for any measure sbort of the whole Charter ; and I tell you more ,
tts&i-sre can carry it , as easily as carry a repeal of ftsCora Laws . You have many a time and oft ^ ade a struggle for liberty , but never sueh a one as ~^ e are now engaged in . If ihe repealers are ia truth sincere , let them come forward and s *! so , and I stake my existence tLat in six * eefa we drive the Tories from office ; and all we ** ki ( as a dissolution muEfc take place , ) is to send thirty out-and-out Chartists into the House vhen the ^ detail * are to be arranged . There must be a dissolntion -before the Charter can be carried . A junction of the Cbanisis and Repealers will at once insure that dissolution . Both measures would then be
« &med out of doors ; and it would depend upon tiie honesty , courage , and judgment of the Cnartist " leaders whether or not the impression should be lost upon the new House , Let me—althongh I ha- ? e frequently mentioned ^ tbe facts in speeches—point ont to you a few striking features in yoor present position . At no time in the history of this country was there ever - * o much monej—so much money ' s werth in houses ,
* aehinery , snipping , raHways , mining companies , -Ud produce , as there is in England now . If the Americans required ten millions to speculate in ; * ailways er anything else , English money would be found in abundance . If the infernal devil , the French tyrant , Louis , required ten millions to shut up Paris , th « English LiBEEAis -would at once make the loan . In fact , Eiati any speculation , any where , and money may be had from England . This , upon the one band , ¦ wh ole never was there v so much poverty on the . eLbe *

hand . The few of the represented order iiaving all the money , and the many of the unrepresented be ; ng starring ! thus when poverty strikes uader class legislation it strikes the unrepresented cla * 3 only . Then turn to America , theTe the United States treasury has failed , become bankrupt , and who are the first to suffer ! Why the representatives or the people , who we are informed are in a most wretched and miserable condition for want of their salaries , while the people are not at all affected ! Now treahand . The few of the renTPSftntp / 1 n */ i «» Oisn ? tnrr *> n * i . »
sure that up . In England there ntver was so much money , and so much poverty ; the unrepresented starving , and the represented tiring invention to find an outlayfor capital , and a means for its investment While in America the representatives are starring , and the people are not . Now , is it not plain that if your representatives were your servants , instead of being your masters , and if their salaries depended npon your ability to pay them , that they would look sharply after your comfort and means ?
Now suppose to-morrow , that the world required one hundred times the present amount of British manafactur . es , what would be the result ? Aa augmentation of machinery to produce two hundred times the . required amount , and thai machinery made with 6 da $ : *> fc 3 e * taiwa , - $ f the self-acting principle ; the cheapness of the produce rendering it impossible for the speculating gambler to employ much raanual labour , as if he did he ceuld not undersell the foreign slave in his own market .
Now , again , how does it happen , that our libertymongers who bawl out so loudly for two million additional quarters of corn , amounting , say , in all , to four millions sterling per annum ;—how happens it , that these reformers never tell us one word about the charch-receiving annually ten milliioi . s , which would purchase five million quarters of corn 1 How happens it that they never tell us that one lady receives annually aB much as would purchase oneeighth part of all the foreign corn required to reduce what England grows to the abundant standard , that is as much as wonld purchase 250 , 000 quarters of
wheat ; and of course her consumption is taken into Br . Bo wring ' s average of the general consumption . Now if the Prussian and English averages were fairly struck as to consumption per head , we should first deduct what the idle cormorants consume ; for mark , Russell , Bowring , and Co ., make the Queen and her tail stand each , as an " operative- " How happens it that we never hear of pensions , army , navy , judges , law appointments , and the funds I I will tell you ; because they merely seek a transfer of the patronage and disposal of those things from the hands of the Tories , to the hands of the Whigs .
Now , allowing your annual consumption of corn to be fifteen millions of quarters , the church , the Queen , the army and navy reeeive among them more than would pay for all ! This is not saying a word about the other expenses ; they are only tome of the items . The fundlords receive as much as would pay for all ; and the professions , police , tax-eaters , Poor Law devils and that tribe , receive as mnc ^ as would pay for all ; while in local taxation , expensive litigation , and abnses of all kinds , the people pay as much as " would pay for double the amount ; and all this for want of the one little thing called the Charter .
Now , rely upon what I tell you , and it is this . Cellect the whole of the agitators for a repeal of the Cern Laws together , to-morrow , and offer them their measure upon condition that they thonld grant yours , and they would rather see a duty of five pesnds imposed upon foreign corn than grant you the Charter , because it snaps tiie cord which binds labour to capital . Believe me , that machinery as now regulated is man ' s great enemy , and that the owners of that property will run you to rerolution before they wi ll give you any controlling power over it , it ' they can help it . In this state of things it is our duty , as it 18 our interest , to join with the League ,
if they place the Charter and repeal of the Corn Law upon their banners . The Charter as the means and the Repeal as one of the most immediate results . It will then depend upon the integrity of the Chartist leaders , and npon the watchfulness and courage of the people themselves , whether or no the terms of the treaty shall be infringed . If they are sincere , they cannot object to those terms , which we have long since offered them . If , upon the ether hand , they are not sincere , would we not be worse than madmen , to join in an agitation the most beneficial result from which would be to make the rich richer And the poor poorer .
The struggle is now between Toryism and Chartism , and I ask you unaffectedly to read my every letter upon this subject , which I wrote from York Castle ; and say , have I not predicted the exact state of things -which now exists ! Again , I ask yon what you have to expect from Lord John Russell , for burling whom from office we were denesneed , while he and his own former party are now more opposed to each other than Peel and Russell are 1
More good has been dose by the glorious meeting at Sonthwark than has yet been effected , and I will tell yon how . I t was most pompously paraded by the Whig press . All importance was attached to it . It was the first attempt of the Conference at a free meeting . We had scores of reporters . The proceedings were Tery long , and yet the mouth-piece of the League , the Morning Chronicle , disposes of the whole in a few lines , and every line a rank
lie . . Now , this has taught all the working men who read of the great Corn Law demonstrations in the Chronic !* eoming from the provinces , to look upon the stuff as mere fabrication . The Chronxck report says that my stentorian voice was sometimes heard through the din—while I was not once interrupted . The Chronicle ' s report says that their reporter could neither see or hear the High Bailiff , but understands that he declared the amendment
carried ; while every man in the room heard the announcement , and if the reporter had eyes he must have seen that the amendment was carried by a majority of at least twenty to one . The other partizan papers say by a small majority ; but if f . ' . ey had such a one it would have been almost unanimous The Chronicle says that three cheers were called for me , and thas three groans were called for for me by the Lejgue , but that the cheers bad it . This is
sheer fabrication , not a mouth uttered the word groan . The fact i s , the League had other resolutions to propose , together with an address to the Queen , to dismiss her present Ministers ; but upon the announcement of the truly honourable High Bailiff , who has ever stood the undaunted friend of the people , and always acted as an upright and honest Coalman , the faction bundled up their traps , and scnttled off , preceded by a lot of office-bearers and their members .
On Tuesday morning a deputation from Southwark waited upon me , to say that the excitement of Monday evening was never equalled in Southwark , and that twenty of the middle class had joined ns , Time convinced of our honesty and our power to carry our object . This is Wednesday , and this evening I go to Rotherhithe , about two miles from Southward , but yet a part of London , to address the people of that locality . On Friday the League pats ont all its force in Birmingham , and there I go , resolved to stand by my party to the last , and to judge of publio opinion for myself .
On Monday , I ahall be in Nottingham ; on Tuesday , in Derby ; and on Wednesday , at Longhborongh ; on Thursday , Friday , and Saturday , I phqil again be in the metropolis ; and now let ae tell yon that no part of England , notwithstanding the insolent aspersion of Parson Spencer , is better op to the Bark than London . For many years the spirit there was broken and kept down by a parcel of jobbing patriots , snd the people would never come ont . Now their work ia done lor nothing , and with the

I must say all that I have to say in tbiB letter . I have now before me some hundreds of letters , all asking me to go to different parts of the country . I don't want to have any secrets . The fact is this , no property would stand the expense to which compliance with all would subject me . Since I left York I have expended * - » j __ iu _ .. ___ __»» v »__ -,. .. . v . ..
more than would have maintained me comfortably for three years ; and as I never will take one farthing for my poor services , > hose kind friends whose invi \ ationB 1 cannot accept will , I am sore , receive my excuse as a justifiable reason for my noncompliance . I have also received more letters in a day than I could answer in a month . I also learn that heaven and earth is being moved , openly , and secretly , to get hid of Fjsabsus ; and to this I answer—give the people their Charter , and never again shall you hear of Feargus ; but , t ill then , I will beat down all opposition .
The Convention will shortly meet ; Dr . M'DoTJAtL and I have succeeded in . procuring a moat admirable place to hold bur meetings , and I pledge myself that those delegates who have visited London before , will not know it now , so powerful and great has become the agitation for the Charter . You must read the whole lh-t of names of those assembled in Mr . Sturge ' s refreshment room to arrange the details of the Charter . Read them all , and then say are they to be our new
leaders for the Charter . Working men , stand by YOUR CHARTER AND YOUR ORDER . No flinching ! and the middle men must join you , and then it will be our duty to take care the union shall be one of principle , and not one of compromise or expedieacy .

THE EXECUTIVE AT BATH . On Tuesday afternoon the Chartists of this city were favoured with the presence of the Executive at a social tea meeting , 3 , Galloway Buildings , after which a meeting was held in Salisbury ' s Room , King ' s Mead-tqaare . The Executive , on presenting themselves to the meeting , were loudly and repeatedly cheered . Mr . Alderman Cbifp was unanimously oilled to the chair . He said xbat as there were many to speak he should be brief . The people had no proper representation of their interests ia the present Honfe of Commons , which treated them an badly as did the Parliament under the old borbughmongerinc system . ( Hear , hear . ) Parties were
dominant in that house , and it mattered not to the people what party were in power , for it was clear that neither Whigs nor Tories would strive to better the rondition of the country . If ever a salutary change were effected , it would be but by the unity , by tho unanimous voice of the people themselves . ( Cheers . ) They were now evincing a fall determination to enjoy the fruits of their own industry , of which they bad been so unjustly and foully deprived . Thft people of this country had endured great sufferings for a long series of * fars , until at length the distress had awakened attention in the minds of the middle classes , who , in s- great measure participated m that distress . Let tie people become united , and they would soon obtain a rept al of all
ihube laws which deprived them of the reward for their deserving toil . The present Ministry were determined to resort to strong means to keep themselves in power ; but it was only for the people to become united , and to ask freely and firmly for what they desired , and they would ultimately obtain it . The middle men would be compelled to join the working elates—( hear , hear . ) Every town in England would soon become a rallying point for the Charter—( cheers ) We were to place ourselves in a watchful position , for circumstances would arise of such a j . ature as to ecable us to obtain the Charter with comparative ease—( cheers )—and by moral means . Injustice must fall before the united voice of the people . The worthy Alderman sat down amid great applause .
Mr . J . Campbell rose to address the meeting , and was enthu ? iastically received . He said he had just read the Daily Sun , by which he learned lhat tae ami-Corn Law League , under the auspices of of Mr . Sturge , had met to consider the question of the Suffrage ; one portion of them were going for this sort of Suffrage , and another for that ; but he hoped the Charter was the only Suffrage the working clashes would go for—( cheers . ) The Charter was either just or unjust . If just , why did the League fi&ht se shy about it ? Why did they not join the Cbartist ranks at once t Because we were too honest for them—( hear , hear . ) And because we bad been honest , and had not joined them for the purpose of obtaining that or this paltry measure of
Reform , they accused us of attempting to injure the cause of Reform . But we had defied them all—( cheers ) He was a plain man , and must say that he would unite with the Devil to obtain justice—( cheerd , and cries of " Well done I ") He knew how the middle classes bad before deceived us ; he had no confidence in them , for they were not to be trusted—at least , such was his opinion . ( Hear , hear . ) They were csmiug over to ns , and he would advise the people to be cautious how they united with such men—( loud cries of "hear , hear ")—the Chartists should pat them ia the political waggon and oblige them to pull , while we pushed them onwards—( cheers . ) Some time ago they would not unite with us at all . though they
always called us a very intelligent set of fellows when they required our bervices , but when we asked for the Suffrage , they never failed to represent us as too ignorant to be entrusted with it . The middle classes got the Whigs to commit bad acts , and because the Whigs would not serve their base purpose , they ( the middle classes ) sent the Tories into office—( laughter)—to commit worse acts . The people should not delude themselves , — -they should bear in mind that " God helps them who help themselves " —( hear ) He hoped that every person before him was a member of the National Charter Association . It had not been in existence more than tourt < en months , and yet it had extended to upwards of 300 towns—( cheers . ) When working men had inquired how it was that the wealth they had produced had been distributed , they would discover the cause of the present wretchedness ; and they would find that
millions had been wrung from their industry to pamper the idle aristocracy , who were wallowing in luxury , while they ( the working classes ) were starving—( hear , hear . ) Those who had political power took care of their interests , but made no laws to protect honest industry . They said we were ignorant , and talked much about the crime and immorality of the people . Who made the people ignorant , if they are ignorant f The Tories , who rob us—( cheers . ) He contended that it was impossible for men to b » moral under the present state of things —( hear , hear , hear . ) The system must be changed —( cheers . ) We wanted to obtain justice for all . The Tories had become Conservatives ; and the WhigB Reformers —( hear)—aod every Reformer considered himself the beet Reformer . The people ' s efforts must not be diverted from the- Chartist struggle ; let us stick constantly to the Charter ,
Mr . Leach now came forward to address the meeting ; he was hailed with loud cheering * Ho observed that the Chairman had said that the middleclasses were about to join ns , and that such was his own belief . He had asked one of that olass why

they were going to do so ; aWd the middle-class man Slid ifc _ was because they eoala' not help it !—( oheera . ) They nad found out that the'country wa 3 anything put prosperous , that it was reduced to that state of distress and misery , that they must now feel for their own feakes . ' and tha * unloss some ^ ea ' a'ary change wa 8 speedily effwtiea , they wonld be involved in the rain that would generally eOtfue—( hear , hear , bear . ) There ww a subjeetwbidi he that night would sp » k on—it waa the repeal of the Corn Laws ; * f ¦ ¦ " *? f ™ that if w « could obtain that measure , we should hare a great deal better times , He really believed ^ fla himself , but he g * e » tly questioned much whether the working classes , nnvder present circumstances , would be much benefited by such a .. _ -. _ . : .: .. v . -. : _ _
m « a 8 nre . He would now speak in reference to our manufacturing industry j and he bettered that the state in which it was placed would not he remedied bat by measures of a more sweeping nature , measures which he knew would apt be carried into effect s * long as the working classes ware without political power . Why had he come to such » conclusion ? Because he found that the other classes of society strove to deprive labonr of its just reward , and to reduce to misery the generahtv of those who ought to be better treatod ; for ifc wm they who had reared the splendid ediSeea that adorned the land —( loud cheers . ) He bad in his possession a letter addressed to Sir Robert 0 n > tne subjeotof machinery ; which letter set forth
that one macnuie , on being put into operation , which was 'done every week , could cast off 16 , 00 . 0 pieces ; . Now , the repealers , through the medium of their press , and at public meetings , said if they could obtain the repeal of the Corn Laws , they should be able to set to work those whose labour bad been thus superseded . The machine that cast off these 1 & . 000 pieces , only employed ten men and ten boys , lhat was a fact that convinced him lhat the master manufacturers wanted to restrict labour at home , and to barter with slave labour abroad—( hear . ) He next went on to show the cause of machines being brought into such general use , the cause was in the necessity the masters were under to keep ground in the markets . Mr . Cobdeu
was a great man , and would complete an order how —which once took 300 men twelve months to complete—with only twenty men , in . three weeks . Oae Saturday evening he discharged seventy men ; and yet he was declaring that if the Corn Laws were repealed , he would find employment for those who were wandering the streets in a state of starvation . He talked mucn about his refined sympathy for the distress of those poor creatures whom the accursed system that upheld him had reduced to this frightful state—( Hear , hear . ) The people of Bath did not suffer so much as did those of the North of England , where there were 5 , 000 men working 5 , 000 spin JJe 3 eighty two years ago ; for then oae man worked but one spindle ; the same work could now be done
by twenty hands . The machines did not want food , aud unless human beings could produce goods so cheap as could iron and wood , they must starve ; and thus would it continue until the working classes were in the possession of political power—( cheers ) There were 5 , 000 laws in existence that would rob us of the benefits that some suppose would accrue from Corn Law repeal . The letter he had alluded to asked Sir Robert Peel whether the distressed weavers were to have their wants supplied . What were they to doT Were they to have that protection extended to them which had been given to the machines ? Here you are in England , and tho question arose whether you are to beat the French out of the markets , or whether you are to starve them or they ( you— - ( hear , hear . ) Bad laws had given a wrong direction to the industry of the people . Tnev were crying out in Africa , ' in Poland ,
Sweden and America for our goods ; aud we were starving at home . The whole of our exportations did not exceed Beventy-two ; millions a year , and home consumption was restricted by nefarious laws . The people of Ireland were destitute of the necessaries of life ; some of them wandering without shoes or stockings ; yet if they had political power they would soon find better use for our goods than sending those gooda but of the country— - ( hear . ) Why do not those who Bay that if the duty on corn was taken off , they wonld give employment to those who are now starving , by increasing home consumption 1 Why do they not give as the power of consunmrg-t we once had the means to consume . A gentleman who had taken the chair at an anti-Corn Law meeting actually shed tears in sympathy for the distresses of the poor , when he was one of those who had done muoh to cause such distresses . ' .
Dr . M'Douall pow rose to address the meeting , and was hailed with the tokens of enthusiastic regard , as were the preceding speakers . The Doctor made along and excellent speech , which our limits forbid uito give . : ';' ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ ¦ V : Mr . R . K . Philp next addressed the , meeting , and was much applauded . He called upon them to join the National Charter Association . Mr . C . Clabkb proposed , "That this meeting thanks the Executive Council for their services in the cause of Chartism , snd pledges itself to support them so long as they adhere to our sacred principles . " ^ Mr . Roberts seconded the motion , and parsed an high and deserved eulogium on the Executive , who , he said , appealed to the judgment of their hearers , and not to their passions . ;; : ¦ ¦ : The motion was put and carried unanimously . Three cheers were given for the Executive .
Dr . M'Douall returned thanks , and proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which motion was seconded by Mr . Campbell who gave the worthy Alderman much praise for the conduct he had always evinced towards the working classes . Three hearty cheers were according ; given . He returned thanks and said he should ever be found at his post in the hour of trial and danger—( renewed cheering . ) . The meeting then separated evidently much delighted .

On Thursday , at noon , pursuant to the notice advertised in our last , a meeting of the owners and occupiew of property , and other inhabitants of the BoroHgh © f Leeds , was held ai the G » urt House in Leeds , to * consider the provisions of the proposed Bill for the improvement pf the Borough . ' ¦"¦ 'Ia order to give the meeting validity it had been called under the Vestry Aet by the Vicar and a .-majority of the Churchwardens of the Parish , bnt they bad not otherwise taken any step in the promotion pf the matter . , .: " ' . ¦ ¦ " ¦¦ ¦'¦ .. ¦ . " . ' ¦ - ' ¦ ... ' :. .. ¦ ' - ¦ ' - ¦ .: '' , ¦ ; ; - . \ . ¦ •'¦ . ' ¦ At twelve o ' clock , the Court House was two-thirds filled : but business did not commence till some ten minutes afterwards , when Mr . Baker , surgeon , walked upon the Bench , followed by Mr . Baines , late Member for the Borough , and immediately
Mr . Baker proposed that Mr . Baines be requested to take the chair , which was seconded by Mr , Smith , the late Mayor . Mr . Baker accordingly called far a : show of hands pro and W » , when , to his great surprise and chagrin , the motion was negatived by a majority of three or four to one . Mr . Wm . H ick then moved that Mt . Wm . Brook do take the chair , which was seconded by several voices , and carried by acclamation . Mr . Brook , however , declined the honour . He thought it really was not of much consequence who filled the chair on an occasion of this description . ( Cries of u We won't have Baines . " > As , therefore , they had so plainly rejected . Mr . Baines , h © hoped they would move some other person into the . chair . ' 1 - . ' ¦ ' . ¦ ' - ' . " . '" . " .. ¦ ' ¦ '" ¦¦ ' - : ¦ . '" •¦ ¦ . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . '¦ ¦ ¦• ¦ . . ' ' ¦ '
, Mr . Robert Barr begged to say that he did think it Pf consequence who took the ehair on the present occasion . This waa an important meeting , involving large interests of the whole Borough , and it was important that the gentleman who might take the chair should have a competent knowledge of the proceedings which had taken place . As a matter of right , perhaps , the Vicar pnght to take the chair , this being of the nature of a vestry meeting ; but he had waited on him that morning , and he had declined to preside , having another engagement , and because he was nnacquainted with the subject matter of the meetings
Mr . Win , Brook then proposed that Mr . Willjam Hartley should preside over the meeting . This was seconded and carried by acclamation . But Mr . Hartley also refused the honour , and begged the meeting to reconsider ^ their steps . He thought it waa important that Mr . Baines should take the chair , and he considered that his rejection was a great insult to Mr . Baines , and to the party who had the management of this business . He could assure the meetinig that it had been a very labo * M »»» i »
business , and Sir . Baines had devoted a great deal of time to it . He did hope , therefore , that they would accept Mr . Baines as chairman , ( cries of " No , no , " and $ : Yes . " ) : :: / . /^ ..:: ¦¦ : - J ' - ' : Mr . Roberts said it might be as well if the gentlemen who brpnght forward Mr . Baines would name another chairman , as the people of Leeds had lost their confidence in him ; they had seen his tricks in various matters of late , and the ; were determined that he should no longer act the part that he had lately acted . ( Loud applause . )
Mr . Baines said that for himself he had no wish to take the chair , very far from it . He should , therefore , if it met the approval of the meeting , have great pleasure in proposing that Mr . Smith , the late Mayor , do take the chair . ( Loud cries for" Mr . BrOOk . " ) - ¦ ¦ :. - \ . ¦ ';¦ -... ¦' . - :- ¦ : ' . : y The nomination of Mr . Smith having been seconded , a show of hands was taken , but Mr . Bainea ' s nominee shared the fate of Mr . Baines—he was rejected b y a decided majority . Mr . Roberts said that as it appeared that the meeting was determined not to have one of the privileged class : for chairman on the occasion , he should beg leave again to move that Mr . Wm . Brook do take the chair .
The nomination was seconded by several persons , and again carried . Mr . Samuel Clapham said that since the numbers were bo equal , the "Ayes" having it in his opinion ¦—( laugbter)—he begged pardon , he meant , the ; 'VNoes , " he should demand a poll of the ratepayers and owners . ( A laugh . ) There were many present who were not either .. Mr . Eddison suggested that the meeting should dividle . ( Crieaof " No , no" "Put it again . ") A further show of hands was taken for and against Mr . Win . Brook , when the majority was very decidedly in his favour , and he was loudly called upon to tike the ohair . Mr . SamuerClapham—I have demanded a poll , and I insist upon it .
Mr . J . Beckwith , —Mr . S . plapham has demanded a poll of particular classes who compose part of this meeting , but not of the whole meeting , and therefore hia demand goes for nothing . Mr . S . Clapham . —I demanded a poll of the" ratev payers and owners " as the meeting is called . Mr . Beckwith- ^ Read the notice . The meeting is of ratepayers ( and owners , and other 'inh ' abitants . :. : ''" ¦ ¦; ' : ¦ ¦ ¦ . ''' ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦¦ - : . ' ¦ ' ¦ """' . " ? :: . - . " .. ¦ ¦ "" ¦ ' ¦ : Mr . ; S , Clapham having referred to the notice , discovered his mistake , and did not persist in his demand for a poll . . Mr . Brook accordingly took the chair , and after a few prefatory remarks upon the importance of the meeting , read the notice by which it had been convened .
Mr . Baines then rose to move a resolution connected with the business of the meeting . But in order that they might understand what was inteaded to be effooted by the proposed bill , he would , before submittiflg the resolution , request Mr . Barr to read a statement which had been prepared , and which comprised the details of the bill . Mr . Baines then moved " That it ia expedient that an applicatioa be made to Parliament during the present session for an Act for better lighting , cleansing , and improving the Bprongh of Leeds , in tho county of York , and that measures be taken to effect that object , with such amendments in the draft which has been already prepared as the Committee and Commiseipners for executing the present Improvement Act may deem mostjudicious . " ^ T
Mr . Baker seconded the motion ia a speech of considerable length . Amongst other facts which he mentioned was that the mortality ia the North and Norta East Wards of the town was as one in twentynine ; in the Mill Hill Ward as one in thirty-six ; and in the township of Chapel AHerton , m the borough , aa one in fifty-six , the healthy wards being chitfly occupied by wealthy , people . Mr . Roberts , after a few observations , in which he said he did not differ much from the speakers who had gone before him aa to the necessity of the BaB , but wished to have a auficlent check upon itB provisions , proposed an
amendmeatr" That this meeting , being aware of a Bill having been prepared and carried through the . House oi Lords by Lord Nprmanb y * entitled the Buddings ' Bill for England and Wales , and thia rating being led to understand that this said Bill extends many liberal privileges , and proposes many excellent improvements towards the comfort of the people j therefore , : this meeting resolves to adjourn it ^ tf until this day two months , and recommends io the Commissioners that the ; publish the proposed New Improvement Bill for Leeds , and likewise the Buildings Bill in a cheap-form , so as to enable the inhabitants of Leeds to underatattd both Bills , and thus enable them to select such parts of both Bills as will best promote the interests of the inhabitants /' Mr .

[ It was intended the Bill should- have bees printed and circulated amongst the rate-payera before the meeting was holden , that they mi ^ fw know what the nature of the measure was , and the proposed machinery by which it was to be worked . Circumstances have , however , prevented this ; and the meeting did quite right in giving only a qualified assent to the measure , reserving to themeeives the right to consider its details , when the Bill has been so printed and circulated .
