WEST BEOMWICH . GREiT MEETING OF THE COLLIERS . The colliers of Stafford and Worcestershire held a most numerous meeting , in a large field at West-Bromwich , at eleven o'clock on Monday last , for the purpose of agreeing on the amount of wages which they should demand . The country for miles round , was in A state of excitement and alarm as to the result of such an immense body assembling together , and every precaution was taken by the authorities to preserve the peace . Large placards were numeronBly posted , threatening all who attended the meeting with transportation . The yeomanry cavalry were called oat , shoals of epecial constables were sworn in , and Lord Dartmouth , and several other magistrates were early in their attendance at tie Dartmouth Anns , West Bromwich , where they were busily engaged swearing in special constates .
A numbei of the Birmingham Chartists who had arranged to proceed to the meeting , were proceeding up Bull-street , when they were overtaken by a troop of Cavalry from the barracks , dashing off with their shining brass caps to the scene of action . The colliers of Walsall and neighbourhood , came in large numbers , preceded by Mr . Griffiths and other active members of the Chartist body . The Bilston , Wolverhampton , and ether colliers in that part were led on by Messrs . Linney , Wilcox , and others ; whilst Messrs . Cook , Pearson , and other active Chartists accompanied the men from Dudley , and that quarter . ^ As the time of meeting drew nigh , crowds of colliers , with their flannel jackets , were to be seen moving in ail directions , to the place of meeting .
A consultation was held between the parties intending to address the meeting . Resolutions , &c . were agreed to ; after which they moved towards the hustings , and were received with loud cheers by the immense assemblage , on making their appearance on the hustings , Mr . GEOtGE Hemmikgs , a collier , from Staffordshire Potteries , was unanimously called to the ohair , amidst loud cheers . He said , that as a collier , he felt himself deeply interested in that meeting , and he hoped they would conduct themselves in a peaceable and orderly manner It was by acting in this manner that they had accomplished their object in the Potteries ; for although the lying Whig and Tory newspapers had represented them as being
notons , he couid assure them that no disturbance was created by the colliers in the Potteries ; and he hoped they would act similarly . He understood that a number of soldiers were iu attendance ; but he advised them to stand firm , and offer no opposition to them ; and if they came on the ground they should open a passage for them , and allow them to pass . He had aothing further to add except to request thtm to give every speaker a fair hearing . Mr . Joseph Linney , of Biiston , said he had been appointed by the colliers of Bilston to bring before that meeting the resolutions they had ccme to ; and he would first ask them whether they would stand firm , after they had gained what they were seeking ,
until the Bilston men also got theirs?—( Yes , yes ) He understood that on a former occasion they went to their work when their claims were acceded to , and left the Bilston men to shift for themselves . They were now assembled together to enter into an agreement to stand by each other to get their rights , as far as their wages were concerscd . The Bilsfcoa colliers had unanimously resolved to stand out until their demands were complied with , and he hoped they would afterwards assist their fellow-countrymen to get the People's Charter—( Loud cheers and " We will , lad . ") As there were other persons , from various colliery districts , to address them , he then retired amidst load cheers .
Mr . Griffiths , of Walsall , was warmly applauded , and said that he was instructed by the colliers of Wals&ll district , to ttate that they would abide by the resolutions agreed to at the meeting then assembled . He theught he need say no more at present as others had to deliver their reports . Mr . Fairburn , of Wednesbury , was then introduced , and said that the men of Wednesbury were resolved to act with the others , and -would stand firmly by the resolutions passed that day . He advised them to be orderly and peaceable , and not give their enemies an opportunity of taking advantage of of them . He retired amidst loud cheers .
Mr . Arthur O'Neil addressed the meeting at some length on the justice ot their claims , and said he was authorised by the colliers and foundry men of Oldbnry to represent them on the present occasion . He then read a string of resolutions setting forth the grievances of the colliers , and the remedy they desired . The following is the substance of the colliers' demands : — That eight hours' labour shall be the extent for one day . That four shillings be paid in money for such eight hours'labour , and two quarts of drink .
That half-days and quaner-days bo abolished , except at the time when a fair or wake was being held . That the ll Truck System " should be abolished , as well as a practice termed " Billduses , " which caused the colliers to work in the pits for a few hours , their only remuneration for which was a pint of beer ; and finally that no man should go down a pit for less than a full day ' s employ , unless at a fair or wake time . Mr . O'Neil dwelt at great length on the necessity of the colliers adopting those resolutions , and was loudly cheered .
The Chairman then explained the regulations existing amongst colliers in the Potteries , and read a letter from the colliers of Darlaston detailing their grievances . Mr . O Ni £ L then delivered an eloquent address , in which he showed the power of the working classes to establi-h their just claims , and concluded by moving the resolutions above-named , for the adoption of the meeting . Mr . Joseph Linnet seconded the resolutions , and described the state of slavery to which the working men had been reduced , and trusted they would not stop short of gaining what they they then claimed , but asssist their fellow countrymen in establishing the People's Charter—( loud cheers . )
Mr . Geobse White , of Birmingham , supported the resolution , and was warmly applauded . He said he felt great pleasure in seeing the working men uniting for the purpose of protecting themselves from the robbery and injustice perpetrated on them , and proceeded at some length to explain the cause of the working men ' s degradation , and the mode by which they were kept in ignorace of their rights , that the ruling power might the more effectually plunder them ; even the clergy who pretended to save their souls , assisted their masters in starving their bodies and chuckling at the idea of the easy mode by which they had duped them ; when they returned to their splendid parlours they might justly repeat the following lines" If humbugged thus the rabble choose to be , Why let ' em , since it brings the chink to me ; There '! none se blind as those who will not Bee . "
But the working men were now at length beginning to find ont that their only hope of justice d- pended on their own exertions-. He showed them how gentlemen were manufactured out of their labour , whilst their children were obliged to go shoeless ; aad after adverting to the value of their labour , if protected by an honest Government chosen by themselves , he called on all who were favourable to the People ' s Charter to hold up their hands . Every hand in the immense assemblage , which at this time amounted to twenty thousand , was then uplifted ; and Mr . White concluded by giving notice that he would remain after the meeting was concluded to enrol the men of West Bromwich in the National Charter Association . Mr . Fbaseb Pearson , Chartist lecturer , then delivered an excellent address in support of the resolutions .
Mr . Macintosh , Socialist lecturer , from Birmingham , made a clever speech on the occasion , after which the resolutions were put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously , amidst loud cheers and clapping of hands . Mr . Pottell , a shoemaker of West Bromwich , and member for Birmingham to the first Convention , and several others , addressed the meeting . A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman , after which the vast multitude peacefully separated . Air . White then proceeded to Swan village , and enrolled a number of members m the National Charter Association , and Mr . Walter Sainsbury , shoemaker , was appointed Bub-SeeretaTy . The worthy Chairman of the meeting afterwards accompanied Mr . White and a large number of the Birmingham Chartists , on their way to Birmingham , leaving Lord Dartmouth and his satellites enjoying a sumptuous feast at the Dartmouth Arms .
This meeting has shewn the people in our quarter that although the colliers are a brave body of men , they arc also well conducted , and has done immense benefit to the Chartist cause .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Brother Chastists , —In my last I pointed ont briefly the condition of the Chutist movement in Scotland ; showed that too much dependence had been placed npon extraneous excitement as the best means of extending and confirming a knowledge of political equality , and the democratic principles of Government admitting that much good bad resulted , yet it had been attended with this result as a drawback , that the body politic , like the body physical , when fed upon stimulants
usubject to despondency , and in the long-run it shows signs of bad health . Tbe highly-gifted men whose attendance Is requisite at these demonstrations , impress the people with the notion that men less gifted , orators less eloquent are sot entitled to their attention nor attendance . It need not be inferred from this view of the past that the Chartists in Scotland are inattentive to , or even negligent in their attendance on the instruc tions of those valuable men -who have arisen from their own ranks to explain the principles of the Charter . The evil intimated here is to be found neither in the
Untitled Article
unfavourable comparison which many institute between the effects of these demonstrations , nor the ordinary instructions upon political Bubjects . This unfavourable impression of dependence will not be removed nntilthe Chartists in Scotland have something to look to for direction and guidance in their movement , something which they can create themselves , aad in which they can place their full confidence . Tbe Convention of Scotch delegates who met in Glasgow on the 3 rd of January , 1849 , among other valuable measures which they suggested for the extension of political knowledge through the country , they arranged that Scotland should be divided into six centres , each district to manage its own agitation ; this so far as a mere arrangement to effect a desirable end was
excellent ; but to make it effective for the end pro . posed , it requires something to make it work—it T 6-qaires a directing Influence , and an influence in which they can have a perfect confidence . It is then fl question of some importance . Can they create such a directory to be useful , without any risk of it becoming a tyranny over the Chartist movement ? It will be readily admitted by every candid and honest Chartist , that such a council is necessary for the safe conducting of the Chartist cause at the present tima in Scotland . Nay , that the want of such a body is more or less felt all over tbe country , there are evils springing up in the Chartist organisation which such a directory could prevent or remove before it became dangerous to its integrity .
If the safety and the integrity of the cause is in danger , this is not the time for Scotchmen to ait still or hang back . They do not hesitate in such circumstances in ordinary cases . It is a cause in which their glory or their shame , as a nation , will spring from their success or defeat ; upon it they have cast the die of their deliveranee from civil bondage ; their character for free men or slaves will be judged accordingly ; their often repeated pledge to stand by their own organisation , requires them to watch its weak points , and give it a strong tower of defence . Those who have long looked npon our movement with an evil sye of jealousy grieved at the loss of power whieh its success proves , are now seekicj ? to torn it into a new channel to mould
it to their own purpose . This dishonest selfishness explainb all the tew moves which have taken place over the country , and their anxiety to bring their money influence to tempt our advocates , shows the base principles which regnlate their procednre ; aowe' of whom the people once honoured with their confidence , have taken the bait , but the people have cast them from them , and withdrawn their confidence ttom them . There are another class who would wish , nay , they are anxious to drive the people into a false position , that the movement may be damaged in its character Both parties have their agents at work at the present time among the people ; and the character they assume to deceive and betray the people is political lecturers .
Looking at these circumstances , it cannot be too earnebtly pressed upon the six centres in Scotland to bestir themselves in perfecting their organizition to prevent the selfish through their subtile agency from again leading the people into their coils , or the equally bad , who will never rest attempting to betray the people into the hands of a bad Government Let those districts who have so far completed these organizations that they can held a delegate meeting , and have a Secretary for the Centre , appoint one representative ¦ who will form one of tbe Council . This will constitute the Scottish Executive , and its use to the cause of Chartism will be found to be of an important nature . I will give the present state of each di .-triot , and the duties of the Executive , in my next address . David Thompson , Secretory to the Alloa Association . Alloa , July 18 th , 1842 .

HOUSE OF LORDS , Tuesday , Aug . 2 . Lord Brougham brought under consideration the present state of the slave trade , which was still carried on , though condemned , owing to the defective state of the law . The Noble Lord spoke at considerable length . Ihe Duke of Wellington said it was extremely difficult to discover measures which would effeetively put an end to the evils complained of . He recommended Lord Brougham to bring in a Bill on the subject , which would receive the attentive consideration and support of Government Lord Bbodoham expressed his satisfaction with this intimation . Various Bills were considered , and advanced stages .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Aug . 2 . Sir Joh > Easthope , who , on a former occasion , had withdrawn a motion for Church-rate returns , at the request of Sir Robert Peel , now re-produced hifi motion , having modified it , so as to meet the objections of Sir James Graham . In now moving for these modified returns , he accompanied bis motion with a question , addressed to Sir Robert Peel—Whether the Premier was intending to take the subject of Church-rates into his consid « ration , with a view to the legislative settlement of tbe question during the next session , or , if otherwise , he were satisfied with the state of the law relating to it ? Sir Kobert Peel could give no assurance that he would bring in a bill to settle the question , nor would he say that he was satisfied with the present state of the law relating to Church Rates .
After a short conversation , during which hesitating objections were raised by Sir R . H . Inglis and Mr . Hardy , Ihe returns were ordered . In reply to a question asked by Mr . Cobden on the previous evening , relating to two steam vessels fitting out at Blackwall for the service of Mexico , to be employed against Texas . Sir Robert Peel said , that these vessels "were ntt to be at the disposal of the Mexican Government , until they arrived out , and that strict orders were issued by the Government that all means should be taken by this country to preserve a strict neutrality . Some conversation followed on the subject of the unhappy relations between Mexico and Texas . The Bribery at Elections' Bill , on the motion of Mr . CHARLES BULLER , was read a third time , two new clauses were added , and it was then passed .
A long discussion then arose on the Designs Copyright Bill , on the motion ! for bringing up the report of the committee . Mr . Williams led the opposition to the Bill , and was aided by Mr . Heathcote , Mr . M . Philips , Mr . Ellice , and other Members . The objections of the antagonists of the Bill were not so much to what is called its principle , as to the " machinery" or details « f the Bill ; still a strong deBire was expressed that it should be postponed till next Session . The Government , in the person of Mr . Gladstone , and afterwards Sir Robert Peel , strongly supported the Bill , the latter re-adducing the arguments of encouraging the art of design in this country , in connection with our manufactures , and of giving due protection to those who invested capital in producing original designs .
A division took place , on the propositien of Mr . Williams , that the Bill should be recommitted , iu order to its amendment , which was rejected by 73 to 14 . After this division , the discussion on the Bill was resumed , in spite of a protest from Sir Robert Peel . ¦* Yarious amendments were proposed by Mr . Williams , some of which-were negatived without a division , but on one he took what is called " the sense of the House , " and was defeated by 78 to 13 . After some further discussion , the Bill was ordered to be read a third time next day . The other orders of tbe day was then disposed of and the House adjourned . .

CARLISLE . —Conviction under thb Factohy Rjsulation Act . —On Tuesday last , Mr . Ewing , Inspector of Factories for tJia district , preferred a complaint against Messrs . R . and 6 . Cowen , cotton-spinners , Dalston Village , near : Carlisle , for having a boy in their employ , of the name of John Iveson , under thirteen years of age . Mr ; Ewing stated , that he had visited Messrs . Coweu's miU in August last , when he found Ivecon and two others working there , who were evidently under the age required by the Act of Parliament , and that he had called Messrs . Cowen ' s attention to them , and stated unless legal proofs were produced of their age , he would have to prefer a charge against them . That he visited the mill again in April , and found
Iveson and another still working there , full time . He then made inquiry of Ivesou ' s mother , who said the boy was above thirteen years of age , and produced a book containing bis age . In consequence of this , he had wrote to Peniith for the boy's register , which proved him to be under age . Messrs . Cowen 3 persisting in employing the children , he had no alternative left but to bring the case before the Bench , which he did in April last , when Messrs . Cowenswere convicted in the case of Mary Gasgill , but Iveson ' s case was not brought forward , as he could only get one conviction at one time , and , moreover , he had not then received Iveson ' s register . He again visited the mill a few days ago , and found tbe boy Iveson still working there , so that he was bound to protect him . He then called the boy , John Iveson , who seemed to be a very ignorant , stnpid boy , who scarcely understood the nature of an oath : and who said that he bad worked
about twelve months at MessrB . Cowen ' s mill . Mr . Ewing then called the boy ' s father , - William James Iveson , who stated that the boy would not be twelve years of age until October next , for he had his age written down in a book . The boy ' s mother was also called , who stated the aame ; but who , upon cross-examination , admitted that a falBe state ment had been made in a book , for the purpose of keeping tbe boy at work . Mr . Wannass , solicitor , appeared for the defendants , and urged that they were not guilty in the eyes of the law , as they had taken the necessary precaution in getting the Doctor ' s certificate ; and that the boy , being a piecer , and not employed by them , but by the spinner , who paid his wages , they had no advantage in the matter whatever , The magistrates retired for a short time , and returned into court with the following decision : —We find the Messrs . Cowens guilty of this offence , and fine them forty shillings and costs .

BIRMINGHAM . ' . THURSDAY EVENING . ( From our own Correspondent . } Wars , and rumours of wars ! We are in a curious position about these quarters just now . The cavalry barracks are nearly empty , being called out to keep the unruly colliers quiet . Some are at Newcastle , in Staffordshire ; others at Walsall , and the rest trudging amongst the coal-pits in other parts . All manner of rumours are : afloat ; a report reached here this morning that the colliers out of work about Bilston , were forcing those in employ to leave the pits ; either something serious is afloat , or the authorities here are frightened without causefor
^ the awkward squad , alias , the " Yeo ' s" were driving about the streets here last night in great pomp astride cart horses .

A large meeting of the colliers is to be held on Monday next , at West Bromwich , but the bloodthirsty Manchester gang must be disappointed in their cudeavoura to sacrifice the lives of honest men to their cupidity .

WDEDS . —Glorious Progress of . Chabtisji . — Leeds has no \ v aroused itself . ' Huudreds are now rushing to our cause . ' Within the last fortui « ht lectures have been delivered in the district by Mr . Cooper , from Leicester , Mr . O'Connor , and the Rev . Mr . Jaekson , from Manchesterj all of whom ha , ve had crowded meetings to hear them . Mr . Cooper commenced in Leeds and enrolled 1 twi nty-three members ; the- next night he lectured at Holbeck , and enrolled sixty-three more . Mn O'Connor delivered a lecture On Friday night in Mashall ' s Iufant School , about half a mile from the town , and at its conclusion 123 enrolled themselves as members of the National Charter Association . Mr . Jackson
preached three sermons in the Chartist room , Holbeck , on Sunday last , when thirty five enrolled , and on Tuesday night he delivered a very powerful lecture in the Chartist room , Cheapside , when thirty six more enrolled themselves , and On the samo day a person delivered to Mr . Brook a list of forty-one names , all from one mill , all of them being carpet weavers . Besides these , many have entered at the different rooms at their weekly meetings , altogether there has been an increase of three hundred and ninety members , and with the lectures _ of to-morrow and Tuesday another goodly number is anticipated . What then can prevent us from speedily getting the Charter if the country goes
on ; in this way ? Nothing , but disunion in our ranks . In order to prevent this from taking place , let us look more to principle , and less to men . Let a good feeling be cultivated amongst us , and all unite and do all we can to get the Charteir passed as the law of the landr On Tuesday nightj immediately after the lecture , the following resolutions were passed j they are principally relating to the address of the new Executive . The men of Leeds are determined to support the Executive more than they ever have done ; but they regret to be obliged to dissent from the calling of the Conferences , from a conviction , that they will not effect the object they have in view . Upon all the
others , they will assist them to the uttnoet of their power . Let the men of other places do the same , and then Chartism will get spread over all the agriculiural parts , as well as the manufacturing . The following are the resolutions : —1 st . " That the plan of electing the Executive stand as / it is . " 2 nd . "That while the members of the Association in Leeds see every reason for calling for an expression of the country to tbo several things inserted under the head—Organization—yet ; at the same time would respectfully state that they are of opinion that the three Conferences will not effect the Object desired , for these reasons—viz . that one Conference might suggest very good remedies , while another might
pass / quite the reverse ; and further , they would be of greater expence than the people are able to bear in the present depressed state of things ; therefore , the Leeds members would respectfully ssggest to the Executive to call a Rational Delegate ^^ meeting , to be held in the most oeutral town , as more nkely to effect the objects stated in their address . ' 3 rd ; "That we , the Chartists of Leeds , make a grant of ten shillings to the Executive , in addition to our regular quota ; and we respectfully but earnestly call upon the Chartists generally to follow the example , and support the Executive with all their power , so that they may be enabled to do thatwhich , for Want of money , they have hot been able to do . "

The importations of foreign Wheat and Oats have been large . Since the violent storm throughout ; last Wednesday night , the weather has been much : colder and is now very favourable , being dry , with a good northerly breesa 1 This has been the dullest market for Wheat experienced for many weeks past , and the town millers seemed little inclined to buy at any price ; some of the Essex factors would have taken much lower rates , but few sales were effected , and these at , a decline of 3 s . per qr , on the best qualities from

them were of very middling and inferior quality .
