      " CO * rfPLETE SUFFRAGE" MOVEMENTS . The , Sturge men in Leeds are feeling their way very cautiously . They have begun a series of Ward mee iin ^ s in the various pans of the town , of which it f -etnu tho first was held on Thursday evening , at th e Swan with Two Necks Inn , Woodhouse . Dr . S miles , and several other Sturge men , from Leeds , Attended , and the room was well filled , more than 200 per 3 OLS being present . 1 Mr . Lapish was called to the chair . The Doctor delivered a somewhat lengthy wishey I waabfj- lecturti on the principles of Chartism , which j Wis libtened to with patience . After -which a feeler was put forth as to the temper of the meeting respecting the formation of a local Complete Suffrage 1 Inion . It was discovered to be " no go , " and the j thing was abandoned in favour of the following I resolution : —Proposed by Mr . Glover , and seconded ! by Mr . Wm .

      Fearnley" That this meeting approves of the principles of Adult Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , Payment of Members , and No Property Qualification . " To this there could , of course , be no objection , and it passed unanimously . The party being then asked wi ' . y they did not , since they professed Chartist principles , enrol themselves as Chartists . Mr . Giover uelivered himself of a tiraUe against Ftargus O \ . ounor , and Messrs . Hiil and Hobson . He was permitted to exhaust his small stock of denunciatory elcqueuce , when Mr . Wm . Scott observed that he naaer suspected that Mr . Glover and his fritnds had goi to a very bad market for the commodity they were now offering—abuse of Feargus O'Connor . However to te 3 t the matter lie would tubinit a resolution . He then proposed , and Mr . Wm . Abbott

      seconded" That this meeting places the most implicit confidence in Feargus U ' Conner , E ^ q , as a public leader , and be ^ s to tender tuair most grateful thanks to that gentleman for his noble , manly , and patriotic exertions ia the people's cause ; and they hereby pledge tkemrelves to stand by him so long as he stands true to the people and their Charter . " This being seconded by Mr . Wm . Abbott was carried , with eleven dissentients . The Suffragists , no little flabbergasted , drew in their horns , and " looked as if they could not help it . " Dr . Smiles , being asked to instrt the resolutions of the meeting —his own meeUDg—in his paper , refused to do 60 , unless pud tor them as an advertisement !

      Well done Woodhouse 1 The " lada" did their work well . We hope every other Ward will do likewise .

      GILDERSOME . —Colliers' Strike at Andrew Hill Colliery . —The Colliers at this pit have struck work on account of the masters putting « n the pits riddles , without any advance . They have already to get and fill four tons snd three quarters if coal per d iy , and remove nearly one ton of earth . It is impossible for the coals to be riddled in the pits on account of the works rising so very much ; and the men defy the masters to prove that thoy have received more on an average than twelve shillings per week before the reduction was proposed . There is no doubt thit the masters will hold forth some flattering offer to out fellow workmen , to come and help them in their base work ; but do not b 3 deceived by them . Not long ago all around here struck for an advance of waet-s . The men and masters

      then had a meeting ; the masters proposed [ hat if the men would return to their work they could manage best themselves . They have managed it to a fine tune : they have advanced the price of coals fivepence per ton , on ** sheddy , " and instead of using seven-eight riddles at the top , they only nse fiveeights , which is an advance of more than sixpence per ion on an average . But instead of advancing the men ' s wages a shi ling a-day , according to agreement , they have reduced them a shilling . We trust the public will no louper be imposed on by the masters ; for they told them that they had to advance the coals on acoonnt of having to advance the men ' s wages . This we deny . They have not advanced our wages , but , on the contrary , they have reduced them a Bhillicg a day . —On behalf of the colliers , D . Swallow , Secretary .

      SocthtlNd . —Sm * wrecks aud Narrow Escape . —The 19 ih instant was a most beautiful day , the wind at S . W ., when about nine o ' clock in the evening , it shifted to SE , and be ^ an to blow a fresh bretze . About twelve o ' clock , the rain fell in torrents , and , the wind then blowing a strong gale , boats and vessels put off on the look out . They had not to go far to find a job , for directly off Southend lay not fewer than niue ships driven on that dangerous and well-known sand , the Nore . The gale at this time had increased into a perfect hurricane , and the destruction amongst the shipping was most dreadful , some drawing their anchors , running into each other , bulwarks cracking and smashing in every direction . When the anxiouslylooked for daylight came , the water was covered with pieces of yardsmasts , boatssprits&o .

      , , , A large brig , called the Robinson , was Been to be in a dangerous situation , when one of the look-out boats made to her , and remained by her bat a little time , for they were obliged to hasten into the boat , and leave her , as she fell down en her beam ends , and became a total wreck in a few minutes . The boats succeeded in saving the ship ' s crew , eight in number , and landed them safely at Southend . The Caroline brought in a ship ' s longboat , a seaman ' s chest , two hammocks Jcc . There was great alarm at one time , it being feared that the men had stopped too long by the Robinson , and had gone down with her , but we are happy to state not a soul was lost . The Duke of Wellington smack , belonging to this place , succeeded in getting a schooner off the sand , and took her to London . Anchors and chains are to be found in

      numbers under the Nore . The yawls are coming in with coals , tea ., which have been taken from the ships that have been obliged to throw articles overboard . The Dart smack has brought in a ship ' s mainmast and rigging , and the Southend watermen have not been bo busy for eome time . The James and Susan yawl pat her boat off to a , ship in distress , but could not make her , and wa 3 blown away for some time . —Essex Herald .

      Ireland—Poor Law Affray at Sxibbebeen . — The following version of this sad affray is given by the * Cork Examiner , Radical paper , of Monday evening : — " In our last we mentioned hurriedly that one man had been shot dead and three wounded . It appears that on Saturday night a second man died in the workhouse , to which place he had been removed , and was under the care of Dr . Donovan , who was anxioue to have amputated his lpg , but he would not submit to the operation—eventually mortification set in , and he died . There are row two dead , and five badly wounded , one of these beyond hopes of recovery . It is impossible to describe the state of alarm into which the poor people are thrown by these horrible events . Bonfires blazs on all the hills to within

      a distance of eight miles of the scene of this sad catastrophe every night , lighting up tho darkness , and communicating the intelligence to a large district of country . On Saturday reports werefljins in ail quarters , that the people were assembling in masses to aitack the town and raza the workhouse to the ground , in consequence of which the authorities were all on the alert , and a body of 1 SS of the military with six officers proceeded from Kinsale to Skibbereen , together with thirty-two more from Bandon , and troops of police Jrom all quarters were ordered , and had marched for the town , in addition to which large farce , two troopB of Hussars from this city have inarched to the scene of action . The General , Sir Octavius Carey , and Lord Bernard

      are also on the spot . On yesterday it was attempted to proceed with the inquest ; however , the friends of the deceased , and those concerned for them , remonstrated acainet this proceeding , and it was accordingly determined that the inquest should be goae on with at ten o ' clock this morning , before Mr . Franklin Baldwin , coroner for ( he county , who had arrived in the town for that purpose . The rate-collector concerned in the transactions , who lirea 006 4 u » rier of » mile from the town , was obliged to leave his residence and come into Skibbereen for protection , and twelve police-men are placed round his lodgings to save him from the fury of the people . It is said that two countrymen

      are taken up wh » were lying in wait to wreak summary rengeance upon this obnoxious functionary . There ate various opinions afloat as to who the magistrate was who gave the word to fire , As this fact most be elicited thiB day , on the inquest now going on , we refrain from mentioning any names , bnt this we assert that there is one bat opinion amongst « il parties , the most moderate , and the most-ultra Government ; partisans , that the firing on the people was wholly nnneeessary , and that there was a wanton shedding of Wood . The affair ash stands strikes us with pain and horror , but the matter is sub Kfe , and until we hare the evidence we shall not prema turely make any statements , lest we might be prejudging an j party . "

      The last number of the Cork ConstituRon contains the following letter on tnis snbject : — " Skibbereen , Nov . 19 , 1842 . —Dear Sir , —I am sorry to inform you that out of the five men wounded on Thursday by the police , four are now dead . Yours trul y , A Spmcbibbl "

      SPAIN . —Perpig . vax . Nov . 10 . —A courier , which left Barcelona the day before yesterday has just arriv . d . The diligence of Barcelona had not reached Figueras . The evacuation of Barcelona by the troops is confirmed . The General Z i . v&la is in the hands of the iuEurgentB . They speak of three officers and 500 men having been killed , A popular junta bad been installed . It is composed of men but little known . The President ia Don Juan Manual Cony . It had published a proclamation , which recommends to the workmen" Union and Constancy , " and does not say one word of the Queen , Espartero , Don Carlos , or of the aim of the insurrection . Montjuio , occupied by the troops , fires upon the town continually . This citadel is in the power of the rioters . They write on the 17 th from Valentia that troops have been sent for the Mesestrarz .

      Babcelona , Nov . 17 . —The troops were engaged in the streets on the 15 th , at eight in the morning . After three hours fighting and a loss of 500 men killed and wounded , the Captain-General , seeing that the windows and terraces of the houses , were occupied in all the city , by the armed National Guard , retired into the citadel with his staff and two regiments . The other regiment and tho Artillery have gone to Altarrazanas . The remainder of the day was employed in making preparations on one side and the other . On the 16 th there was a firing both of musketry and cannon a great part of the day . All the streets were barricaded . The garrison of the citadel was without provisions . The citadel threw shells into the town during the night .

      This morning before day the troops evacuated the citadi 1 and went out of the town , leaving the place in the possession of the insurgent militia , of which the number was increased by the militia of the neighbouring towns aad villages . The fort of Montjuio bad likewise thrown shells into the quarters of the municipality . A junta has been formed , and it Bigned a capitulation with the regiment of Guadalaxaia which had remained shut up in the building of the university . The general commanding the military force had asked of the junta what tho intentions of the people were , and he proposed tc come to an understanding , for the purpose of avoiding greater disasters , and stop the destruction of vhe city . The overtures thus made succeeded . They are negotiating at present . No inhabitant had been menaced in person or property . All the French inhabitants had been respected , and the Counsul had received

      assurance that he had nothing to fear . The royal brig , le Meleager , had given an asylum to sevural Spanish refugees . The commander had received ou board the family of the Captain-General . It is thought that the movement , tbe objeot of which is not yet known , will spread to all Catalonia , at Saragosta and Valentia . The members of the Junta say that there is no conspiracy , and that tho people bad spontaneously taken up arms to defend their rights , attacked by the imprisonment of the editor of the j jur nal called the Republicano ^ nd by the orders given by the Government to submit to the military enlistment . The provincial deputation had been called by the Junta to take measures of order and security from the very commencement of the revolt . The seven constitutional Alcade 3 had takcu refuge ou board tho Meleager . The surrender of the Aliarrazanas has taken place .

      The Unemployed—We grieve to say that the number of the unemployed is still rising . Last week it was 7 , 022 , this week it is 7 , 372 ; showing an increase of 3 oQ . —2 aistey Advertiser of Saturday . Greenock . —Procession or thb Unemployed . — On Friday the unemployed in Greenock held a publie meeting , at which the appalling statements of distress made were of such a heart-rending description as caused those present to pass a resolution , viz ., "That , as the allowance of the relief committee was only three farthings per day to each individual on the list , and that not being sufficient to keep soul and body together , this meeting resolve to walk through thetowu , andgo from door to door and solicit charity . " In accordance with the above

      resolution , 210 men and stout young lads proceeded on this begging mission , and at night the proceeds were divided , and found to be four-pence to each individual in the procession . To-day they assembled at eleven o ' clock , and after forming themselves into procession , again commenced going from door to door collecting money . In the meantime , the magistrates are indefatigable in their exertions to procure funds to support the unemployed , but the distress is so great that shopkeepers and tradesmen of every description are in desperate circumstances , and have not the means to relieve the destitute . Trade is daily getting worse , and there is not tho smallest prospect of its being better , for no one can tell the time . —Glasgow Chronicle .

      Another op the 24 000 Summart Punishments INFLICTED IS ENGLAND IN ONE YeaR . —Wm . Bartlett , a married man , living in Wootton , was brought up by one of the Duke of Marlborough ' s keepers , before the Rev . Thomas Curme , charged with having , in company with a man named Hull , chased a rabbit ia a publie highway called the Green-lane , and which is the accustomed road leading from Wootton to Woodstock . It appeared in evidence that Bartlettand Hull ( who has since absconded ) saw a rabbit in the road , and tbat Hull at length succeeded

      in capturing the prize . Bartlett admitted that he took up stones to throw at the rabbit , and should have caught it if he could . The keeper pounced upon Hull , and demanded the rabbit ; Hull put it down , and it ran away . Mr . Curme fined Bartlett If « ., including cost ? , for being in company with the man who caught the rabbit . Bartlett being unable to pay the fine , was committed to the county gaol for a fortnight . Charles Gubbins , the Wootton constable , told Mr . Curme that Bartlett was an houeBt , industrious , good labourer , and had never before been brought before a magistrate .

      A Candid Confession . —Among the traditions of Westminster Hall is one of a certain Scjeant Davy , who flourished some centuries back in a darker age than the present . He was acoused , once upon a time , by his brethren of the coif , of having degraded their order by taking from a client a fee in copper , and on being solemnly arraigned for his offence in their Common Hall , it appears , from the auwritten reports of the Court of Common Pleas , that he defended himself by the following plea , confession , and avoidance : — " I fully admit that I took a fee from him in copper , and not only one , but several , and not only fees in copper , but fees in silver , but I pledge my honour , as a serjeant , that I never took a single fee from him in silver until 1 bad got all bis gold , and that I never took a single fee fiom him in copper until I had got all his silver—and you don't call that a degradation of our order .

      BAIL COURT .-Thtjbsdat , Not . 24 . IN THE MATTER OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE ! RIOTERSAPPLICATION FOR A CERTIOBARI . Mr . Price applied in this case on behalf of several prisoners now under sentence of transportation for destroying by fire certain houses , for a certiorate to remove tho record into the Court of Queen ' s Bench . The Learned Gentleman stated that , the present application arose out of the trials of certain rioters , who had been tried and convicted before Lord Chief Justice Tyndal at the late Special Commission . The offence for which they were convicted was , that they had destroyed and pulled down certain houses by fire , sad the objection which he took was tbat they ought to be indicted for firing the houses . Fire was not an agenf which would demolish or pull down houses , and there was no remedy for these convicts if , after returning from transportation , they were taken and tried for burning houses . Mr . Justice Wightman inquired whether the indiotmeut was bad on the face of it .

      Mr . PRicssaid it was not , for if otherwise he would move for a writ of error . When the presise offence charged , is not borne out by the evidence , the indictment cannot be sustained . All he required atpres » ntwas to remove the record , he would then have to make another application . Mr . Justice Wightman remarked that the application to remove the proceeding into the Court * of Queen ' s Bench was entirely unprecedented . There was no instance of such a course . In many cases parties have been dissatisfied with the evidence against them , but there was no instance of a certiorari being granted . The point which has been raised was for ( he Judge who tried the case . —Application refused .

Hogs which have so long been & drug in the market , continue in the same dull state ; this applies also to Combine Downs , which are almost unsaleable . In Clothing Wools there is a little more animation , and the stocks of Noils snd Short Wool are neatly all cleared off . Yarn . —We cannot quote , any alteration for the better , and if the increase of the number adopting short time be any criterion , we

      may fairly infer the trade is getting worse . We trust the adoption of this salutary mode will tend to prevent any further decline in prices . Piece . —\ We have nothing favourable to offor to our friends today , every thing appears to be slow , and the quantity of Plain Goods cleared off hardly an average . The Fancy Tradu still continues in the same awfully depressed state , and the little business that is doing only adds pressure on the before exhausted position of the Manufacturers , who have already felt that the over-production of this article last Autumn has recoi ' ed with unexpected and unprecedented sacrifices .

      Skipton CATM . B Market , Mondat , Nov . 21 . — Although this was the annual Martinmas fair , yet we had not above an average supply of fat stock , and there being a good attendance of buyers , nearly all was disposed of .

      be submitted to on all descriptions , foreign wheat was held with some firmness , but the business done-, was exceedingly limited . The finer qualities of Rye meet with more enquiry , but other descriptions are neglected . The arrivals of Barley keep very mode * rate , nevertheless the sale is dull at our quotations . Peas meet a better demand without any alteration ia value . In Beans nothing doing . Malt is a dull sale . We had only a moderate show of Oats to-day from the farmers , and they readily brought last week ' s prices . The sale of Flour is exceedingly

      dull . State of Trade . —The accounts of the settlemenl . of the dispute with China , which reached this town on Monday evening , caused considerable excitement in the market yesterday ; and , though no great amount of business was done , higher prices were obtained for most kinds of manufactured goods , and for some kinds of yarn suitable for the eastern markets . Indeed , the stocks of both goods and yarn are now so exceedingly low , and the manufacturers are so generally working to crder , that any material increase of demand is certain to produce a decidedly favourable effect upon the market . —Manchester Guardian .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Not . 19 * —During the week the transactions in every article of the trade has been on a most limited scale , and to

      effect saies , factors were compelled to submit to lower rates . Contrary winds having prevailed , ' the imports at Liverpool and Runoorn are unimportant * and the supplies from the interior continue light . There was a very slender attendance- of buyers at Our market this morning , and the quotations of Wheat and Flour are nominally as on this day se ' nnight . In the value of Oats also no change can be noted ; but the business done in Oatmeal was at a decline of fully 6 d per load .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Not . 21 . — In the eirly part of the week several parcels of Irish new Wheat arrived , but the imports of . any article of the trade have since been light . We have at the same time to report a languid demand gene * rally , and lower prices . All descriptions of foreign Wheat must be quoted fully 3 d ,, and Irish new 4 d « - per bushel cheaper than at the close of last week ; good runs of the latter have been sold at 6 s . 4 d- to 6 * 3 . 6 d . per 701 ba . Oats have also declined in value

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , Not ' . - 21 * —By the official return of Foreign Cattle imported into London for the week ending Saturday , the 19 th instant , it appears that only four Beasts , six sheep , and twelve Pigs have paid duty during that period at the Custom-bouse . Besides the above , there were three Beasts from Spain , making a total of seven head only . Although of not so good a quality aft those so particularly noticed ou last Monday , they were yet superior to many that have come from that quarter , and realised from £ 14 to £ 16 each . After a long continuance of depression in the general trade of the market a revival may be this day noticed . For all kinds and quality of meat there was ah

      improvement both in trade and price , but more obser- . vable in Beef . The change in the weather from wetto cold and clear acted beneficially upon the market * . The butchers were willing to purchase more extensively , and readily submitted to an advance in prices . Of home-bred Beasts the supply was moderate , butthe general quality was but second rate . Those of really choice quality were willingly purchased at 4 a 8 d per stone , but the run of prime Scots may be quo * ted 4 s 6 d . No difficulty is experienced in disposing of very fine Beasts at equally as high a price at ' any time during the past year , but inferior and middling descriptions , on the contrary , the butchers will not purchase unless at reduced prices to those given before the new tariff came into operation . Good middling quality of Beef fetched 4 s 2 d , and the best middling kind 4 s 4 d . Inferior coarse quality may be quoted from 3 s 2 d to 3 s 4 d . There were more Middlesex fed Beasts to-day , and fewer Yorkshire bred

      than On Monday last . Soots were scare © . A total clearance was effected before the close . Although the Mutton trade was not quite so brisk as that for Beef , yet , from a smaller supply of Sheep aud the favourable change in the weather combined , the butchers purchased without restraint , aud all sold . An advance of 4 d per stoae was easily obtained tot prime old Southdowns and good servicable meat . The highest range may be quoted 4 s 6 d , and 4 s 4 d for the next best quality . The supply of Calves was larger to-day than for a long while past for a Monday ' s market , being upwards of 100 . They sold , however , freely at similar prices to last market day , and none remained on hand when the market closed . Pigs were fewer in number , and found a steady sale at 3 j 8 d per stoae for coarse kind , and 4 s 8 d for fine young meat . .

      London Corn-Exchange , Monday , Not . 21 . — We received throughout last week supplies of grain of all descriptions fully equal to the demand , and although in some instances the arrivals were not bo large as during the week previous , still prices were in all eases with difficulty supported , and some des * oriptions of Corn underwent a reduction in figures . We continue to receive supplies of Wheat from foreign parts , and the arrivals from Odessa in the past week have equalled 4 , 040 quarters ; the duty remains at 20 s . 8 d ., but the weekly average of the

      kingdomshow 3 a decline of 2 s . per quarter ; the trade for this article has been limited , and at prices exceedingly low for even finest qualities . To this morning ' s market the suppl y fresh up was moderate of Wheat and most other grain , the exception being Barley , of which the arrival was abundant . Wheats have sold slowly at a decline of Is per qr . Oats are a very dull sale and lower prices would be submitted to . Beans are a slow sale at last week's price * Peas are unaltered . Maples in more demand than last week . The seod trade is Tery slow for all descriptions .

      WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . _ Friday , Nov . 25 . —Our arrivals this week are moderate ; the trade for Wheat is more firm bnt we cannot quote any advance on the rates of thia day se ' nnight .

      K GRANI > FESTIVAL AT STOCKPORT . ipUBLIC TtiATA RTY AND BALL IN HONOUR OF T . S : DUNCOMBE , ESQ ., M . P ., AND FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Esq . Stockbort , Wednesday . — -The Chartists of thia town , following the example set them by their Manchester brethren , held a public tea party and ball in the Hall of Science yesterday evening , for the purpose of doing honour to their diatinsuiBhed leaders .

      Feargus O'Connor , Efq ., and T . S . Duhcombe , Esq , M'P . Upwards of 1 , 000 persons were present , and if a room capable of accommodating treble that numberoould havo been obtained , there would hot have been a seat unoccupied , bo numerous were the applicants for admission . Mr . O'Connor , we regret jtdsrate , was prevented from teing present by indisposition . Athalf-pa 9 t eight o ' clock , Mr . Duneombe made his appearance , and was greeted with enthusiastic and reiterated plaudits .

      Mr . Thomas Clarke , a Chartist lecturer , having been called to the chair , stated that they were met not only for the purpose of doing honour to our worthy patriots ! , but to have liberty—and to have it at any price ; that they were met to tell her Majesty ' 9 Government , '« n the language of men determined to be free—that the People ' s Charter shall and will be the law of ' the land —( loud cheers ) . Mr . MITCHELL then came forward , and in an appropriate speech moved the following resolution : — "That wo sympathize with our unfortunate fellow countrymen who have fallen a prey to the recent cruel and unconstitutional pro « eedings of an antinational Government , and firmly resolve to usa every moral and legal means iu our power to mitigate the uigust sentences which have been inflicted upon them .

      Mr . Carter said , they were called upon by the resolution to sympathise with thoso men who were incarcerated for nobly standing forward in the face of a Tory Goyernramt to obtain those rights , which , as Englishmen , they were entitled to enjoy . The question was , when would the working people of this country make the Government sympathise with Buoh men I It was only by tbe union of the working classes that we could compel the Government ' . of . this . ' country , to do justice to those who produce all the wealth , and who receive but a small pittance of that which , they produce . The time had come when they should tell the Government of the country , in language not to be misunderstood , that if they ( the people ) were to have no votes , they would pay no taxes ; aud when the working

      people were prepared to tell the Government that ho would forfeit his head if they should persecute a single man of those who made that declaration . They were assembled , he hoped , not only to sympathise with those men who were Buffering for the cause of freedom , but they wero assembled to tell the Government that the prosecutions should stop , or else every man of ua should be locked lip in quod . ( Approbation . ) Ho trusted the working classes would show the Government , that although Lord Abinger transported our fellow townsmen , we were not lobe daunted by any such persecution . Having expressed his regret at the circumstance which prevented Mr . O'Connor from attending the meeting , Mr . Carter concluded by hoping that the working men would unite and show the Government that they wore not to be put down by prosecutions .

      The resolution was then put from tho chair and carried unanimously . Mr . Webb then moved , and Mr . John Hallinson seconded , the following resolution , which was carried by acclamation : — "That our heartfelt gratitude ia due to the noble champion , T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M . P ., for his noble exertions ou behalf of the toilingand unrepreseuted millions ; aud that we will stand by him as long as he stands by the cause of freedom . " Mr . DoNcoMBE thenrose , and was received with every possible demonstration of regard . He said it was only the previous evening , and about the Bame time , when he was endeavouring to thank the men

      of Manchester for the very kind reception which they gave him at their ball . It was now his duty to thank the good men and true—and he might add ; the good women and true of Stock port , for a similar manifestation of kindness . Having passed a well merited eulogium on Mr . Leader , and also on Mr . Wallace or' Scotland , for their exertions on behalf of the people , Mr . Duneombe proceeded to notice the manner in which the Chartists had been treated , by the Lancashire magistrates during the recent disturbances ; He said he could not exprets the pain and indignation he felt at statements that had been made to him with regard to the treatment not only of working men , but of

      men in a highly respectable station in lifu . Not that he thought the station of the working man was not equally respectable —( hear , hear . ) He would take for instance the Rev . James Scholefield , than whom , in Manchester , there was not a more respectable and upright man . He ( Mr . Duncombe ) said it with the gre&teBt indignation , and he would maintain it before the House of Commons—( Cheers)—that the authority exercised during the recent persecutions , was far beyond any power that the law conferred , either on policemen , magistrates , or judges . Indignities and degradation were oast upon certain individuals in Manchester , in consequence of their conduct during the late outbreak ,

      which treatment was a disgrace to the magistrates of Lancashire . —( Cheers)—It was impossible , when the House of Commons was made acquainted with the system of persecution and oppression that had been resorted to , and the manner in which the law had been strained , —or ratrer new laws had been made , to oppress those holding Chartist opinions , —it was impossible for the House of Commons to overlook such instances of oppression . He had heard of men being remanded for three or four days together , and being obliged to lay in the dirty cellars of the New Bailey , Salford—respectable men , whom the parties committing them knew were able to give sufficient bail in a moment : these were remanded from day

      to day for the purpose of gratifying party feelings . Two individuals were kept in the New Bailey prison , Sal ford , for nineteen days , and then released without any charge being made against them . If these things were to be tolerated talk no more to him of the Habeas Corpus Aot ; talk no more to him of that which hitherto bad been considered as the safeguard of our liberties—( applause ) . It was disgraceful to the country where such things took place , —it was disgraceful to the country , and still more disgraceful to the House of Commons , if they did not protect the unfortunate persons who are liable to be exposed to such treatment . Mr . Duneombe then alluded to the cruelties to which paupers were subjected , noticed the unconstitutional powers with whioh Sir James Graham had invested the

      police , and affirmed it as his opinion , that nothing but the People ' s Charter could secure the nation true liberty or prosperity . Having noticed the efforts of the League to raise a fund for the purpose of effecting the repeal of the Corn Laws , an attempt which , in his opinion , would prove abortive , and supply an additional reason of removing the master evil , namely , class-legislation . Mr . Duneombe concluded by observing that he should be satisfied if , at the end of his career , the working classes of this country were convinced that the only motives which actuated him throughout his career , were a sincere desire to promote the happiness , improve the social condition , and extend the civil , religious , and political rights of his fellow-subjects . ( Loud applause . )

      Mr . JcmN Hallinsom then moved the following resolution : — "That we view with feelings of regret the conduct of her Majesty ' s Government in prosecuting men for merely advocating those rights which belong to man by virtue of his existence , and therefore pledge ourselves individually and collectively to renewed exertions and continued agitation , until our efforts are crowned with success , through the establ i shment of the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Christopher Doyle , in an argumentative and effective speech , seconded the resolution , which was supported by Mr . Cooper , of Manchester , and carried netn . dis . —
