GZiATTOIf . —Appointment . —The Honourable iie Commissioners of Stamp 3 and Tixes have appointed Mr . James Jagger , of Clayton , near Bradford , Inspector of the hawker ' s licences . GLASGOW . —Patent Iron Mason . —A machine , under thi 3 name ( for which a patent has just been taken out . ) is about to be erected in one of Mr . Nelson ' s quarries , at Woodside , Glasgow The stones go into the machine rough as they come out of the quarrymeii ' s pick , and come out polished ashlar on the surface , and cut paralleled and square on the sides , folly prepared for the builder , and this
tx an expence of not more than a fcranh of work £ one by the hand . Tne present machine is calculated to do ihe work of two hundred and fifty men , reckoning only six hours' work out of every ten . The machine has been constructed by Messrs . P . V . M'Onie and Co ., engineers , Scotland-street , Tradeston ; the design and arrangements "being the work of Mr . P . M'Onie , of that firm . We understand that the machine , with the experimenting and patents , has cost £ 1 , 000 , although new machines of the same siza can now be made for one third of that Earn , and smaller ones proportionately cheaper . — Practical Mechanic .
MANCHESTEB —Sigxs of the tixes . —On Monday evening there was a large concourse assembled at ihe New Cross , bearing banners , accompanied by an effigy representing Sir Robert Peel , which they publicly baroi amid the shonia of the thousands of spectators ; and while doing this they were cot interrupted by the authorities . Indeed there needed none , because after they had committed Peel to the fiames they retired peaceably . STOCXPOKT . —There are thousands out of employment here ; wretchedness , poverty , privation , and want , with their concomitant evils , have been awfully on the increase , creating bad-feeling , crime , and discontentment . Bnt what is still more inconsistent and vexatious—more maddening and exciting
—is the conduct of the master manufacturers These unfeeling wretches , who , under the sanetiaed mask of charity for the starving poor , have subscribed a lit ' . le towards doling out bread , &c , Efirieni to keep body and soul together , —these gentlemen have had a meeting at which they agreed to have a general reduction , and arc now carrying fesir designs into execution , taking as much as seven shillings Irom tbe ^ dressers , and the other hands in ths different departments of work in the same ratio , ihronghout the mills . By this reduction they will tike more money oat of circulation , injure the home aaiket , depreciate the value of cottage property , ruin the shopkeepers and publicans , raise the rates , increase crime , and drive more out of the country .

A Teiplisg Task , oh How to Obtan a Holi-Iat . —Tbe little party had scarcely commenced their likrars , when Mr . Parley entered the room with a Bailing countenance , and carrying a chess-board Eider his arm . " I have prevailed on your mamma , " is observed , " to excuse your customary studies this Euraing , on one condition only , * " and a joyons expression of triumphant inquiry , which seemed to say , " Same it , and it is complied with , " lit up the faces ef lie children as he continued ; " that condition is thej « nonnanc 5 of an isteresting little exercise , in which you can assist each other ; and , you know , inaay hands make light work- You all see that on this chess-board there are thirty-two white squares , asd an equal number of black ; now , when you have
placed one grain of wheat on the first white square , two on the second , four on the third , and so on , doubling the number of grains on each succeeding white square until the whole thirty-two be disposed of—when that merry task is completed , you may derore the time left on your hands to any kind of amusement you prefer . "— " Oh , thank yon , thank you papa ! " exclaimed the little giils , as Mr . Parley retired . "That will be easily done , " said Heary rubbing his hands in great glee . " Aye , " added J ^ e , " we -shall soon finish this morning ' s task . "B -wish we had sncb . a one every day , " said Emily . "Ill ran and get some wheat , " said" Henry . K , " resumed Jane ; yon ^ U get plenty of old WiEierum ; he stores it np for the fowls . Emily sad I will place the grains upon the squares ; as
Edward connte them out . "— Aye , get the wheat , Henry , and that shall be your portion of the task . " Away ran Henry , ths little girls in the meantime were busily engaged in arranging how they should spaa the time ihey calculated upon having at their oyn disposal thai morning , but Edward remained silest , apparently engaged in calculations of ano-&er description ' . and when Henry retumed _ with his cap full , Jane and Emily langhed heartily at tie superfluous quantity . The little fellow remarked , that he thought it was as well to have a » asL l > I am much mistaken , " said Edward , "if Jon have not to go for two or three more capfulsyet . " Ibis increased the merriment of the sisters , who begaa , howeverto place the grains upon the several
, squares , and Henry ran off for another freight . On his return wi ; h another brimming capful , they hurst mo renewed laughter , when Mr . and Mrs . Parley emend the room to inquire the cause of thi 3 noisy eapyaent . Emily replied , that Edward had been Plajirg off . a practical joke on Hei , ry , by sending aim for ten times more wheat than they wanted . Vi 27 , " continued the little girl , " ii woold take us all day to count that heap of grain !"— ' ¦ Yes / ' said ¦ Ed ward , smiling , and regarding his parents rignineaatly , "bui I doubt whether three or four day 3 would suSee to do what papa requires . " Jane sad Henry stared with incredulous amazimeni at their parents , as locking for their ftfflirnnaticn or rejection of this seemingly
extravagant estimate , but Mr . Parley merely observed , that ia all undertakings it was advisable to con-Qder well the difibnltie 3 of accomplishment . "I frost , " he added , " that this little inc / dent , when you ire acquainted with its simple details , will teach Jos to think—m& snow you what insane projects are so metimes preferred . from the wans of reflection , to those which are recommended by the prudent exercbe of deliberate adoption . But even after what Jon have experienced in proof of its impracticability Joawill , I think , still be astonished to learn , that file task you undertook with snch pleaded alacrity ,
* o \ iid demand more wheat than the whole United kingdom could produce in any single harvest , the psims of which , of course , you could not count in a « adred years ; and , had I included the black glares of the board , mak' iDg the number only sixty-*» > the whole world , once the crea-iou , nas not fcwiseed wheat enough to comply with the condi-« &s ;•» This declaration excited mes : bowilderi .- 'g Sfprlsa ; and Mr . Parky added , " A clearly deSnsd * & : lTe should actuate us ia ail we say and all we * ° ; otherwise , we involve ourselves in confusion ; N motives cannot be said to be deuced unless they ^ regelated by due preparation for theobiaoles tha * ia the way . —Parkas Penny Library .

New" Lete . — Hundreds who have icpt their beds for ye-ars have been so speedily ie-invigoiwted with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of * n&w life and strenfejii by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills ^ that their re-appeara ^ ce amongst their fellow beings who had long given them up * is incurable , is looked upon as the greatest of the many £ reat wonders of this miraculous age .

By her we have papers to the 15 th ult . The examination before the Recorder of Philadelphia in the case of Nicholas Biddle and others , charged with a conspiracy to defraud the shareholders of the Bank of the United States , closed on the night of the 17 th
ult . A cashier and atelier of the Bank were the only witnesses examined : they produced books , papers , &o . - At the conclusion of the examination , the Recorder stated it as his firm belief , that there was sufficient eause produced iu the investigation and testimony before him to warrant him in binding the defendants over , and he accordingly bound over Nicholas Biddle , Samuel Jaudon , Joseph Cowperthwaite , Thomas Dunlay , and John Andrews , eaeb in the sum of 10 , 000 cellars , in two sureties , to appear at the Court of General Sessions , to answer the charges brought against them by Austin Montgomery , that is , for a conspiracy to rob and cheat the stockholders of the United Siates Bank .
Circiunati had been the scene of an alarming riot . In that city , it appears , there are several of what are called " shin-plaster" institutions , or rather individual responsibility banks , which , like all the banks in the United States , issued paper largely . By areefnt decision of the Ohio Court , the notes of these and ail other unauthorized banks were declared illegal and uncellectable by law . As the amount of paper which these banks had put into circulation was hrge , the Miama Exporting Company made an assignment of its effects on the evening of the 10 th . ult ., and the Bank of Cincinnati closed its doors on the morning of the 11 th . The mob , exasperated at the stoppage of these banks ,
attacked , first , the Bank of Cincinnati ; then , the Miami Exporting Company ; next , the Exchange Bank , owned by a Mr . Bates , and ended with the exchange- office of Mr . Lougee . The rioters were principally Dutchmen , vrho had suffered most by losses from the operation of these irresponsible banks . They forced open the vault ? , stole some specie and bank-notes , as well as noies for companies which had been redeemed , and destroyed every thing they could get hold of , throwing the remains iato the streets , and leaving little more than bare
walls . The police Were quite unable to quell the riot or to save the property cf the LankA . A few military were hastily collected ; they fired among the rioters , who returned the fire , and several were wounded on both sides . The disturbance only ended with the day . WlAst it lasted , some of the responsible banks had runs made upon them , which were promptly met . The runs were no : renewed on the 12 : h ult . Sir Charles BagoJ arrived at Kingston on the lOih ult .

IffANCBZSTSXt . —A public meeting rras held a ! the Hall of Science , Campfieid , on Wednesday evening , at which resolutions were submitted ou the ca « e of Charlas Southwell , now confined in Bristol Gaol , for the imaginary crime of blasphemy ; Mr . M'Dannoa was called to the chair . Mr . Watts moved , in an excellent address , the first resolution , " That in the opinion of this meeting true morality and the general interest and happiness of the nation would be promoted by the freest possible expression of opinion upon all subjects , and that justice is sacrificed , whenever fines and imprisonments are imposed for speaking or publishing any opinions whatever . " Jkcocd ^ U by Mr . Tillman , and carried without a dissentient . Mr . Cooper moved the seconded resolution , " That inasmuch as the printing press is the besi possible means of instruction , it is
the opinion of this meeting , that auy government making an attempt to curtail its influence , either by prosecution , or by the imposition of taxes on knowledge , neglects its own best interests , and its duty to the people . " Seconded by Griffin , and carried 71 CT 7 I . con . The third resolution wa 3 moved by Mr . Campbell , of Stockport , " That thi 3 meeting pledges itself to support to the utmost Charles Southwell , the martyr to . the imaginary crime of blasphemy , and every other individual who may suffer for the vindication of the rights of opinion . " Seconded by a person in the Hall , and carried tmanimously . The following gentlemen were appointed as a committee to receive subscriptions towards supporting Charles Southwell : —Messrs . Cooper , Lowe , and Heywood . The meeting continued till nearly eleven o ' clock . A vote of thanks was tendered to the Chairman by acclamation before dispersing .
Public IIeetihg . —On Taesday morning , in compliance with a requisition to the Mayor . A public meeting of the inhabitants wa 3 convened in the Town Hali , which was crowded to almost suffocation , and in consequence of the noise , confusion , and repeated cries of adjourn , the Mayor who occupied the chair was compelled to adjourn to S : ephenson ' s-square , where upwards of four thousand persons assembled , when they were addressed by a number of the middle-class and working men , every one acknowledging Universal Suffrage was a right which ought to be given to the people—and many of them finding the word had become fashionable , professed they had been in favour of that measure ior a long time . Many of them asserted that they could bring documents to prove that they had not so suddenly become converts to the principle . They
passed a number of resolutions , one which called upon the members to " take all constitutional means of stopping the supplies . Another was in favour of the suffrage as explained in the Charter , but instead of making it the main thing to be achieved , they made it a secondary object taking repeal of the Corn Law 3 first . Every speaker congratulated the meeting on the reconciliation of the Chartists and Repealers , but in this respect they are very much mistaken . Although the Chartists are pleased to see them come out for the Suffrage and the Ballot , they will never juin in any agitation that does not go tor the whole Charter . Mr . John Bailey , Chartist lecturer , moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial conduct . The speaking coniinned for near four hours , and was ultimately adjourned till next Monday evening at seven o ' clock .
Thb Chartists and the League . —The Chartist town council appointed Messrs . Haitlon , Grocott , and Murry to wait upon the requL-itionists on Monday evening , to ascertain what steps the League were about to take the following day at the public meeting . As soon as it was known by the gentlemen assembled that they Lad entered , and there was a large number , they simultaneously rose a , nd greeted the deputation with loud cheers . The Chartists informed them that however much they might feel pleased that they were coming out for Universal Suffrage and the Ballot , they would not make any compromise , and argued that if they wished . their support they roust come out for lie five points . In order that there should be uo opposition at Ihe mettiug on Tuesday , it was mutually agreed that a large meeting . should beheld on Thursday , for the p-irpose oi properly discussing the subject fairly and impartially .
Rebfern-street . —A highly respectable meeting of the Chartists belonging to this district was helu on Sunday evening last to hear Mr . Brophy , ot Dublin . The room was crowded to excess , Mr . Murray was called to the chair ; shortly after Seven o ' clock Mr . Brophy entered the room , and was received by every mark of approbation . Mr . Brophy made a strong appeal to his countrymen , and created a strong impression that nothing short of the principles contained in the People ' 3 Charter can ever ameliorate the condition of the people of Ireland , whose present state he described as miserable , and svbich often , in the course of his address cail---d forth the sympathy of the meeting . Mr . Doyle addressed the meeiiEK for a short time , and thanked them for the warm manner in which they had received Ms countryman , Mr . Brophy . A vote of ihauks was given to the lecturer , and cheers fc < r old Ireland and the Chartists , when the meeting
seperaied . LEcrcRE .- — On Sunday evening , Mr . William Bee = ley being in this town on business connected with ' the cause , the Browii-street Chartists invited him to lecture in their room . Mr . James Cartled ^ e was cslled to the chair . Mr . B . dtlivered an excellent lecture , in which Peel , Hu ^ ssli , the arisiocraoy , the middle class , and tne parsons came in foi _ a severe and well-merited ca ^ tigation . Mr . Griffiu moved a vote pf thanks to the lecturer coupled with the following resolution , which was unanimously adopted , Resolved , that this meeting having seen a bill purporting to have emanated irom parties who call themselves merchants , tradesm-n , and working men , inhabitants ; Manchester ( bus who have not had the honesty to attach their names ) demanding the franchise for every one of twenty-one years 01
age , untainted by crime , together with the privilege of secret voting , and such other matters if detail as may be necessary to the honest and practical working of tne principle ? , condemn the same as servile , vague , shuffling , delusive , and unsatisfactory to the Chartists , and unworthy of their support , and co-operation ; and this meeting iurther conceives that it has been done for the express purpose ot strengthening their own agitation ; or a repeal of the Corn Laws , and not from any desire to obtain liberty for the industrious millions . We tnererore take this the earliest opportunity 0 : aaam d-ciarmg , that we ^ nall ' not bt led astray by any t ^ p-trap , but , on the contrary , pledge ourselves 10 s :: ck to tne Charter , and agi ' tait for ' nothing less . Tno time is gone by when even either the one par . y or the ether might expect us to make the least coispr , . mi » c-takina into consideration what our kaQcis have suffered from the factions .

SHORT PATENT SERMON , ( From the New York Mertury : ) At the request of the editor bt the Railway Herald , I will preach on this occasion from the following text : — If ye are honest , honourable men , Go ye and—pay the Printer . My Hearers , —There are many seeming trifles in this world which you are apt to overlook , on account of their unimportance , the neglect of which has plunged thousands into the deepest mire of misery , and sunk their character into inextricable degradation . Among these ostensible trifles that of neglecting to pay our hoaeat debts is the most common , and attended with the worst consequences . It takes off the silken fur from the fine threads ef feeling , creates a misanthropic
coldness about the heart , skims off all the cream that may chance to rise upon the milk of generosity , and makes man look as savagely © n his brother inan as does a dog upon one of his species , ¦ while engaged in the gratifying employment of eating his master ' s dinner . One debt begets another . I have always observedi tbabhe who owes a man a dollar is flare to owe him a grudge , and he h always more ready to pay compound interest on the lattei than on tha former . Oh , my friends , to be over head and ears iu love is as bad a predicament as a person oaght to be in ; but to be ss deeply in debt that you can't sleep at nights without being haunted by the ghosts of some insatiate creditor , is enough to give a man the hydrophobia , make him bite a wheelbarrow , cause it to ruu mad , and create a general consternation among the lamp-posts .
My dear friends , the debt that sits heaviest on the conscience of a mortal—provided he haia pne- ^ ia the debt due to the printers . It presses harder upon one's bosom than the night more , galls the soul , freta ^ and chafes every ennobling sentiment , squeezes all the juice of fraternal sympathy from the heart , and leaves it drier than the surface of a roasted potato . A man who 'wrongs a printer eut of a single cent can naver expect to enjoy comfort in this worlds and may well have doubts of finding happiness in tte other . He will be sure to go down to the grave ere time ahaU bedeck his brow with the silvery blossoms of age > and the green l « ves of hope wiU &U before th » fresh bud of enjoyment has expanded . It U trte ttat the
muBbroomB of peace may spring up duriiift a short night of forgetfulneM , bat they will all wither under the scorching » y > of remorse . How can yon . my friends , ererhave the wickedness and caoelty to cheat the printer when yoo consider how mudfc he has done , and ia , every day , doing for you ? He has pgured into the treasuries of your minds tome of the most valuable gifts tbat anything sb . ort < oj | a God can bestow — « ye , riches which you would w 4 part with for tiie possession of the whole World . » nd a mortgage on a small room of heaven . Y ^ ltb > the keys of magic , as it were , he has opened the iron cased doors of the human understanding- -diBpelled the darkness of ignorance , and lit up the lamps of knowledge and wisdom That mighty engine , the press , is son »« nded by a halo

A public meeting of the electors and inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark , was held on Monday at the Town Hall , in the Borwigh , for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament againet Sir Robert Peel ' s new Corn- Law scheme , and of addressing her Ma jesty on the subject . : The meeting was called by the High Bailiff , in compliance with a requisition most numerously andrepectably signed , which was presented to him immediately after the details of the Ministerial measure became known . Tho High Bailiff , took the chair at one o ' clock . The CHAIRMAN said , tha * having received a requisition , signed by upwards-of 200 inhabitants of the BoroughV he had felt it his duty to comply with the request ; and he trusted the- meeting would givisx-very one a fair hearing , and theirTesolutioiiB could not fail to prodnce a great effect in the proper quarter .
Mr . WestOn rose to ' mo 7 « the first resolution ; He had declined to attend the last meeting oh the subject , because Sir Robert Peel had stated that it was his intention to take the subject of the Corn Laws into his . uost serious consideration , and to endeavour to devise some mefwure which should be satisfactory to all classes un » 4 er these circumstances , he had thought it but fair to Sir Robert Peel , to abstain from interfering . Most of tkos 8 . who heard him . were aware that he was more in the habit of acting with the party now in power than with the othei party ; but he regarded the present as a mostfleripus , as a most sacred cause—( cheers . ) When they saw the constitution < of the present House of Comuvons , they could not but be aware that they were banded together to supporb the present system ,
and that even if the Ministers wished to introduce any great alterations , it would not be in their power to do so ; therefore , he had not anticipated any great relief frost the Ministerial measure , but he had thonghf it his duty to wait to hear what they had to say-- ( cheers . ) That house had been elected by a combination of the landowners ,- with the owners of mortgagee , and he was Bony to say with the clergy — ( criesof " Shame , shame , " )—who , from old associations , from their desire to keep up their tithes , had acted in a manner unbecoming ministers of the Christian religion . ( Hear , hear . ) ( Mr . Alderman Humphrey J 1 . P ., hero entered the Hall , and ¦ was received with a loud burst of hisses , mingled with a few cheera Order having been partially restored , through the
intsiTyention of Mr . Maynard , Mr . Weston proceeded . ) Every circumstance showed the existence of a combination among the landowners on this subject . ( Mr . B Wck > d , M . P ., here entered the HaU , and was received with loud cheers . ) He was aware last summer that there was a prospect of but an indifferent crop of wheat , but the Agricultural Associations had taken immense pains to circulate reports throughout the country that there wa 3 every prospect of an abundant harvest ; They had circuited these reports for the purpose of preventing corn from being admitted from abroad , and they had done so at a time when they must have known the crop to have been anything but abundant . ( Cheers . ) Did not all these facts go to prove the existence of a confederation of the landowners ? ( Loud cheers . ) Was
it not most inconsistent on the part of the clergy to get up in their palpits , and offar prayers for nne weather , and next day give all their energies to support a law which prohibited their countrymen from benefiting bj the- bounty of Almighty God ? The crop during : the last season had turned out even worse than the most gloomy anticipators had expected . Jf it had not been for the distress that had prevailed , and still continued to prevail , and also for the consequence of that distress , the small demand , the price of corn would have risen enormously high . The fact was / the poor had been starved , and the price continued moderate . But . for that circumstance corn would have been 15 s . or 20 s . per quaater dearer than at present . Sir R . Peel in introducing his measure , had admitted the great : distress that pervaded the whole country . He also had admitted that distress was borne , with the greatest patience by the people ; but yet , bad he brought in a measure which would alleviate the prevailing distress ? No
such thing . He brought in a measure which would merely secute something to the revenue and for the benefit of the landed proprietor maintain corn at almost its usually high price . Sir R . Peel had no right to take credit oh . his measure . He had been by no means happy in the comparison which he : had thought proper to institute between the Prussian people and the inhabitanta of this eountry ; ( Cheers . ) Amongst the former there were but two classes , the mobility and their serfs . In England there were four or five different classes , and among many of which he would even call the subordinate classes , he would instance servants , more meat was eaten than by the nobles of Prussia—( hear , hear . )—It was ridiculous . It was a mockery—( cheers )—? to seek to deceive the people thus , by arguments of which everybody must see the fallacy . Mr . Weston was then about to read an article on the subject from Bell's Life in London , when ho was interrupted by loud cries of " Adjourn , adjourn to the Leather-market . " v :.-- \ : ¦ ¦ . ' -.- . ' . ¦ ..:... . ' ¦ . ;' ¦ ¦ . -.. - ¦ - ¦ .. ¦ ¦ . / ¦¦ ¦ : v
Mr . Heabne , amidst the greatest uproar and confusion , intimated to the meeting that it was probable that another meeting would be held on the subject this evening , but that if they adjourned the pressnt one now , the petitions to the House of Commons-would not be in time to be presented this evening . ( Cries of "Adjoora , " and much confusion , ; in the midst- of which Mr . Maynard endeavoured to obtain a heariag , but to no purpOSf . ) ¦ ¦• . - '¦ . ' ¦ '¦' :. ' ¦ ' .. ¦ . "" ' ¦ ¦¦ - - . - ' .. ¦¦ . ' . , ¦ - . ' •¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; ¦ ¦ ¦ ; " ¦ " ' - Mr . TousELEY then advanced , and silence having been , in some measure , restored , swd that the proposition of adjournment would be a very good one if they had any place to aojoutn to . { Cries of "To the Leather Market . " As this was market-day ib would be impos sible to adjourn theae . ( Increaaed coafasion ) -
: Mr . Weston again came forward , and said thai the Ministers , in introducing into her- Majesty' speoah , a paragraph , recommending the revision of the Corn Laws , did but offer an insult to the dignity of her Majesty , who no doubt . firmly : believed the Ministers bad really intended to legislate for the advantage-of the people on the subject . ( Cheers , and loud cries of ' ' Adjourn , adjourn . " ) Mr . Weston then attempted to read the petition , but the tumult and confusion were so much increased it was impossible to hear asyllable The persons who occupied the body of the Hall called on the Chairman , from all directions , to adjourn , and several voices called on Alderman Humphrey to give the meeting the use of a room in hispremiseatoadjoam to . ThU suggestion seemed , ta meet with general appro bation , and elicited loud aheers , mingted with cries of " Adjourn , adjourn . " ¦ ¦ ; : .:
Mr . COOPEB . then presented himself to theweeting ; and , silence haying beea partially restored , be stated that Alderman Humphrey had at once consented t « accommodate the meeting with th » use of part of his premises in Montagce-close . ( This announcement ! was received with laud and reiterated cheers . ) Mr . Alderman Bbmshkry ih » n advanced to the front of the platfoimand was warmly greeted ; he said he would with gM » t pleasure give the meeting a room in hia premises if they wished to adjourn there —( loud cheers)—and if they signified their wishes to do so , he ¦ would in five ainutes have a platform or eta ^ e prepared for their accommodation . . ( Vehement cheering . ) Mr . MAYjiARD again addressed the , meeting , and urged tbe propriety of their retiring peaceably and quietly . They should meet in hundreds and in thousands , and show their enemies that they had but one common object In view , and that was that they were determined to be free . (( Cheers . ) ; The question of adjournment was then put and carried by acclamation , and the meeting adjourned to Montague-close . :

THE ADJOURNED MEETING . . V The adjoarned meeting was held in a room of one of Mr . Alderman Humpherey ' s warehouses , to which the High Bailiff and the other gentlemen , proceeded in & body . They were joined here by several hundreds , who couiJ **** fpanol ^^ no place in the ; Town Hall .

Mr . William-HA \ VESbeJrtte" to second the adoption of the petition to PariiamfOt which had be « n moved by Mr . Weston , against the profKWed flieaanre of Sir Robert Peel , w hich the petition denounced as In * sufficient and utterly valueless . The Hon . ^ HtJeman proceeded to say that Sir Robert Peel himself 8 « fcnowfedged that the measure would afford no adequate relief for the distress at present existing in the country , it would satisfy no class—neither the landlords on t&e ' onehand , nor the peopleon the other ; and the Ministry who proposed so heartless and unavailing a measure , should be driven by an indignunt people from the office which they filled bo unworthilyv ( Cheers )
Mr . Rainsley , a Chartist , then addressed the meer ing ; condemning the Corn laws ; but contending that it would be impossible fo obtain a repeal of them , till the working classes were possessed of the franchise . Ho pointed out that the assistance of the working classes ' necessary to enable them to carry their measures , and contended that the middle class , was not friendly to the labouring part of the populatiort ^ -lCries of Question , " ' Go on , " and great confusion . ) Mr , ' Ratnsley farthsr addressed the meeting to the aaine effect , bnt so great was 1 & 6 confusion that his observations were unheard except by those on the platform . He concluded fey prpposinj' anadditionto the petition , asserting the adoption of the People ' s Charter . ' ¦ •;
Mr . Parker , a Chartist , said that Mr . Rama ! ey had prepared an addition to the petition , similar to the one moved on the last occasion . It then received 6 , 600 stgnat'Ui-es from the borough of Soutbwark alone . They were now called oh to petition the House of Commons not to pass Peel ' sBill on the Corn Laws— -that House ¦ which had treated them with bo much contempt and contumely . It waa useless to petition them j qt to have anything to do with so bad a lot . ( Ciies of " Question . " ) They would not destroy class legislation till tho-Charterwas the law of the land . The ; working man had as great a stake in the ; country , and as great « tight to the franchise , as any aristocrat , or landed proprietor ormillocrat . ( Cries of ' / Shut up , " and " Question . " ) Under the present system there was no hope The people niust have the power of making their own laws . There 1 would be no use in attempting to bolster up the falling : Whigs , whe had had power during tho
last ten years to repeal the Corn Lawsr if they had honesty enough . . ( Cries of " Hear , hear , " and interruption . ); If the anti-Cora Law party , then , were holiest , they would join the working millions of tho country , and persevere imtit they had procured a democratic House of Commons , in which would be soore done away / with those laws t ^ at pressed upon the food-. and indnitry of the people . Let net the Tcries gull j ou as the WhJgs did—( cheenr and uproar . ) iet the p .-esent meeting do its duty , aad give atone t » allther fature meetings ; of the cowatry . Let the ruidtlle cla . ^ sea unite ¦ wi » h the working classes , and they would soon have the elestive franchise extended in favour of both , for the forca of public opinion . would be irresis- ^ tible—( Cheers . ) Then they woultl have a House in which ; the people would be fairly represented , and the operatives would liave a Sir day ' s wugesfor a fair day ' sworfc —( chaers . ) With these words he supported the uiotiorr -- ( cheersJ : - . . ¦ : ' . '¦ .:-. - .
Mr . Blackmore warned the operatives against the middle cliiaeeSj who coiled for their assistance now beeanse they wanted'them to help in rapealing the Com Laws for their own benefit . Would tbe working men now abandoh the people ' s petition and the Charter ? ( Cheers from the Charti « t 3 . ) If they dkl , they would give- the public arid tfte pres 3 just r 3 ason to insult them . ( Hear , hear . ) Let- the working men remember thnt they never would get their rights either as re-r garded food , or 'anything else , until tbe ^ had a share in returning the Parliament , and a voice in making the laws . The anti-Corn Law party said to them ; - " If yon Will help us to repeal the . Qurn Laws , we . ¦ will help yon , to get the Suffrage . " But Sho operatives should answer . < r I > p you help us to get the suffrage first , "—¦•( Cheer * } It was no u 89 to repeal the-Corn Laws , unless the people were allowed to exercise the power of a constituency . —( Uproar . ) .:
Mr . Heakne said that the meeting was called for a specific purpose-r- ^ to prese nt r » petition against the Cora Ljiwa . ( Loudcheera ) It had been said that the Chartist petition was signed by 5 g « 0- » -but the petition they were met to adopt . was signed : by nearly three-times that number . ' ( Cheers , and Interruption . ) Tfiey should act like sensible men . ( Hear , hear , and confceiert ) '" - : - > ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦ : ''¦ ' ' : ' ; . - ' .. : ¦' . _/ '•¦' , -: ' . . - . ' ., . - . ' . ¦ - . : ¦; Mr . Feabcus O'Connor then -presented himself amidst loud cheers from the Chartists , and proceeded to say that he was surprised to find that when the proposer and seconder addressed the meeting in support of the petition , there were no signs of interruption j but when , the working men commenced to Speak , they were met by cries of " Question ^ question . **; And yet
it was Di > t their intention to come between the people - and the Corn Laws , or to drive that measure from the - Houae of Commons , ; but to dislodge Sir Robert Peel front his position—( cheera ) The questton wasf how ^ they could best effect the repeal of those laws ,- and the adoption of the People's Charter in the shprttet ' time—( hear , hear . )—He did not thint the mosfc efifectual means to attain those ends would be to place therepeal pf the Corn-Laws before the Oilarter—( long--continued cheering . ) Did not the present constituency send into Parliament a great majority in favoar of the Corn Laws , and could their repeal be expected mtil the constituent body was enlarged-- ( cheers . f Was there ever euch a disproportion in the distribution of wealth as at present ; so much money in the hands of "
one class , and so much poverty endured by the otbtr ? —( cheers . ) And was it not curloaa -that the poverty should fall on the unrepresented , and aU the-wealth on . those who were represented ?—( loud'cheers . ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had latelyfallenihwith Scobblerjwho told him a stoyy about the Bishop pffExeter . "Well , Daniel , " said the Bishop , I am informed you are » Chartist , arid , let me tell you , that you cannot be a , Chartist wUhout being an infldeU" . " Butj my Lord , " said Daniel , " I have got ten children ^ and you have got none , and I want something to feed them . " " Bat don't you know , " said his Lordship , " that God does not send any mouths without at th& same time giving food to fill them . " " Very traej my Lord , " said Daniel , " but his good designs are thwarted by evil
men . How else , my Lord , could he have : given me all the mouths and your Lordship all that might fill them ?"—( great Hnghter ) If at quarter-day . Sir Robert Peel , and his brother * -Ins office , were to he refused their salary , it might fering them to their senses ; and they would then , perhaps * think of the comforts of the working-men . People bad : talked of the bad agitation of Chartism . Let them show hita ( Mr . O'Connor ) an instance in -which the Chartiats had refused patiently to-listen to reason . The Whigs were originally opposed to them , but now the » Wbigs were opposed to themselves . Lord John RusselL wished for an eight shillings duty , while Mr . Viiliers went for a total repeal , and Sir Robert Peel came in atthe end with his slippery pigtail —( cheers and laughter . )
They , the Chartists , knew very well the character oC the Wbigs . They knew very well . that the present agitation waa merely got up to get them back into office- — ( long-continued cheering . ) For seven years-ba 4 itlit people petitioned the Whigs against those laws , and during that time the Whigs told them that the distress of the country was caused by fluctuations in comaieree , attendant upon all great commercial nations Bat when they got on the shady aide of Bownisg-atreet , they said to them , theChartists , " Do you a similate your causa with : ours ; and let us get into pfHce again . " Wtenha ( Mr . O'Connor ) had gone to the Conference held last week , they told him that he could not be- admitted without a ticket , and thus was he prevented from goings to express the principles he held , and of advancing the
great cause to which havwas pledged . Oae of the ; speakers at the Conference had aAJuded to him ( Mr , 0 'Connor > , » nd said there- tra * - •» person . going about the country in a : fastain , jacket , while a black one would have suited bim better . He ( Mr : O'Connor ) had ceme to that meeting in a black coat . He never attacked a mint behind him back . He called on the gentlemen of that' Conference to name six , twelve , or r eighteen of their namber , and ? they ( the Chartists ) -wovdd do the same , and meet them , and put the principle * of each to tbe test—( Ion * cheers ) The Whigs had introduced tb » Reform Aci ^ and that was to do away with Toryism ^ That ActhadF been fully tried for tea years , and what was the consequences of it ? Whjf , It had put a majority of 05 orie » of from sixty to ninety intp ^ the House' >—( a vnaoBi .
"Itwas yon and y «« r party that put them there" )— . ( great uproar . ) Th « Tories had a rwoper ^ r , which thejr considered the standard of the franchise ; andi solongt as another man ' s property entitled the elector to vote » so long would tb * present slate « ntfaae . 3 Sie Charter would strike- at the root of alfithis—( great cbeerfa ) g . > It would take the suffering fron the people . He had sufficient conSOttHce in the woAing classea to feel that , should a famine come upon the land , they , would bear the decrees of Providence vritjx patience and submission—( cheera . ^ Now , there was not a single article o £ luxury denied to th » table ot the wealtoy , while everything tbatwaa necessary to aoppbrt life- was taken from the table o * the poor ma » . This was . not the wish of » n ail-dispensing Froviden »—Uoud eheera . ) The battle mi now between the two extremes—th
people and the ariatocraay . The Whiga , twelve months ago , pjomised them beoaehold aaSrago , and if they were eincere , let them Join the CSiartisbi , and go for tbe whole Charter , and thus , for the first time , let the Whigs and Chartist * fce united . Let them all unite ^ la this object , and thes would they be worthy of the naina of Englishmen , and thai 1 would every poor man bm proud to say of England , " This ia my own , my nativft land . " ( Loud cheers . ) After thanking the Hl&bi Bailiff for the pleasure , and the high honour conferred upon him , he was proud in supporting toe amendment : of the working man . ; ; : The amendment , " That the -National Petition , or the Charter , should be adopted instead of that submitted to the meeting , " was then put and carried . A vote ef thanks was passed to the High Bailiff , sM the meeting wporated at balf-paat thwe o'clock .
