TO THE CHABTISTS OF THE USIIED KINGDOM . At the usual weekly Hee&ns of the London members of the National Aisscriatien , the following Resolutions and Remonstrance were proposed by Me&s » Lovett and SimmondB , and nnanimoudy agreed to , and ordered to "be sent to the liberal papers : — ¦• 1- Thai at all times the Representatives of a free and iateEectnal people , studiously seeking to promote the public -welfare , axe highly entitled sad -will ever secure public courtesy and public esteem , and will oply beJoweredin the estimation of every nfl-crfa * mind ¦ when they absurdly demand that the -wants and -wishes of the people shall be made known to them in the abject , ininble , supplicating terms of a petition . of Parliament "
" That the Commons' House , no ways representing the people of those realms , but year after jear legislating in open fiefiance of their wishes and interest , has perpetrated this relic of feudal and despotic barbarism , te the disgust of all mental independence xnd manly feeling ; and unless this humble supplicating is soon dispensed -frith , bids fair to render public applications to the Legislature s bye -ward aqd derision . *• 3 . That we , in conjunction "with our fellow countrymen , having -complitd -with this absurd usage of humbly praying and petitioning year after year for a redress of grievances , and only tbuaning for our answer new burthens and additional wrongs , now respectfully eall upon the people of toe United Kingdom to adopt and sign ¦ w ithus the folio-wing , aaa National REHOJiSTBAJiCB , to Toe forwarded to Pjiriiament , prtparat % ry to the motion that is to be made next sessions for the People ' s Charter . " TO THE CO : M 310 > S * HoTTSE OF PARLIAMENT IS
THE 1 B COLLECTIT £ CAPACITY ASSEMBLED , The Remonstrance of the -undersigned Inhabitants of this Kingdom , SHXTTEra , —Thst we have just eause of complaint and remonstrance aseinst you , wbo , in the name of the Commons of Great Britain aEd Ireland , profess to represent , "watch over , and legislate for out interests . Thst as the ancient and constitutional custom of public petitioning has , "by your acts , been rendered a mere mockery , -we are thus inductd to substitute a public remonstrance to yon—it being tie legitimate means by waich sny portion of the people , "wiose political rights hsve ane by one been legislated away by their rulers , csa -appeal to the pnblic © pinion of their country—a tribn&al by ¦ whose -will representation is alone rendered coEEtitutSona , and for whose benefit alone Government ia established .
We justly complain of your utter disregard , and seeming contempt ; oi the wants and "wishes of the "people , ss expressed in the prayers and petitions they have been humbly addressing to you , for a number of years past . F- * r "while they have been complaining of the ¦ unegual . unjust , and cruel Jaws yon have enacted , which in their operation have reduced millions to poverty , and punished them because they "were poor , you have been either increasing the catalogue , or saoekjng them with expensive and fruitless commissions , or telling them t £ at " their poverty was beyond the reach cf-lssr-lative enactment . '
"While they have been comp ! aising that yon take from them three-fourths of thtir earning , by your complicated system of taxation—and , T-j your roonopoljes , force them in * o nstqnal competition with other nations —• you hare exhibited a contempt for their complaints in your prcfiigate axd lavish expenditure at home and abroad , and by a selfish pertinacity in favo ' ur of the monopolies you have created for your own especial interests or those of your pariy . WMle they have been praying that the Civil LUt may T » reduced in propcrtion to the exigencies of the
stale - and , at a time like the present , when bankruptcy , insolvency , and national destitution pre-rail to sn extent nsparalleled in history , tbat Her Majesty and her Cansort sheuld be made acquainted -with the necessity for dispsnsing with useless and extravagant frivolities ; yet yen , in ready compliance with the wishes of the Ministry , have gratified such extravagance at the expecce of want and wretchedness . If you bad "been ioyal to your Qaeen , or just to your country , you would have shown her the necessity for retrenchment in every department of her household .
While the faninans and considerate portien of the population have been demonstrating to yon the evils of ignorance and scarce ol crime , and have beeiS entreating you to apply to the purposes of education and serial improvement the ssormGus sums "which yon inhumanly employ in punishing the victims of your vicions institutions and calpsbls nc-glect , yon have gone on reck * lessly despising the prayers of humanity and juEtiee , angmeuting your police , increasing yonr soldiers , raising prisons , and devising new means 0 / -coercion , in a useless attempt to prevent crime by severity of piinishment—instead of cultivating the minds , improving the hearts , and administering to the physical necessities cf the people .
While the inteDigecce and humanity of our countrymen have been loncCy expressed Sialnst sanguinary and cruel -wars—barbarous means for tantalising the people , and perpetuating bull dog courage under the name of glory—yen , who profess to watch over our interests , have , in order to gradfy aristocratiral cupidity ,- Belfishness , and ambition , been supporting unjust and uncalled for wars , by which thousands of human beings ksve been led on to slaughter and to death , and through "which , our enormous debt has betn increased , and the stigma of cruelty and injustice brought upon our national character-Wfcile our brethren have been praying for religions ireedoni , you have allowed a state church to feie from them upwards of nine millions per itTinnw ; independent of the evils it inflicts on them by its troublesome imposts , grasping seLfishness , sad anti-gospel persecuting spirit .
WMIe our brethren have been contending for the free circulation of thought and opinion , through the riffirmpl *> f an ucshEcile ^ press , as a means by which truth may ie elicited , and our inBlltutio- ; s improvedyon have been imposing the most arbitrary measures to check public opinion , retard freedom of inquiry , and to prevent knowledge from being cheaply diffused . While our social evils and anomalies have repeatedly been brought before yen , you , whose duty it was to pro-Tide a remedy , have looked carelessly on , or been intent onlj on your interests or your pleasures . Tour own commissioners have reported to you , that thousands of infant children are tloemed to siavtry and ignorance in
o = or -rmfliw and iaeUmea , "while their "wretched parents are "wanting labour and needing bread—that wives and mothers , to procure a miserable subsistence for their families , are campelled to neglect their , tffspring and their homes , sad all the domestic dutiei which belong to their Bex ; that thousands of skilful mechanics are starving on a few pence , which they obtain for fourteen hours * daily toil—that vast numbers , anxious to labonr , are leli to linger and perish from coldsnd hunger—that in Ireland alone two million thTee hundred thousand are in a state of beggary and destitution ; and that misery , wretchedness , and crime areiast spreading their deteriorating iriutaice , and gradually undermining the fabrie cf society .
j » or isyour miFgovernment eon fined to this country alone , but its balt ? fnl influence ib felt in every part of the "world where British authority is known . Throughout cur dominions you have permitted rights the most sacred to be invaded in order to provide nesting-places for aristocratical Sedglings . You have disregarded the constitutions yen have given , violated the premises yon ¦ have made , and , jpurning the prayers and petitions of onr colonial brethren , you have trair . pled upon every principle of justice to tstablisb your power , and feed your laTenouB lustfor gain . You have , therefore , shown by your ads that yon do not represent The wants and wishes of the people ; on the contrary , self , or party oonsideiations are seen in alm « t every enactment yon have made , or measure you have sanctioned . So far Trom representing the commonB of tbis country , or lejfisuting for thtm , the majority of yen have neither feelings nor rnteresta in common with them .
It 13 seen by yeur proceedings , tbat while the supposed rights of every claw and party can find advocates among yon , the riphi 0 / labour is left to find its own " level , * ' 13 the justice of tiilieB questioned , the wisdom cf ecclesiastical law cun > tod , or a repugnance shown by conscientious men to support the church they dissent from , the church can always find its Jealous < le £ enders among you . Is the expensive and unjust administration of the law complained of , together with aB its teclmfcal and perplexing absurdities—its wisdom and propriety ia st once -demonstrated by yonr host of legal adTocaves . D jea any one presume «> question the
propriety of oar Tery txprnsive military 3 i-d naval * stabli 2 hments , or to 6 onbt the justice of flogging as a means of di ^ pline— he will soon find a regiment among you prepared to combat his opinion * Is ' the justice qutitioned of allowing the landowners to tax the peopxeof ^ country to " the extent of seventeen nuffioaBMnnally . toaipport their own especial , monopolies , eloquent adrr ^ te . will otice b * ? ound amoag you to plead &r ttw vestedrishts of property- In snort ^ bankera mttciants , manufacturers , and all interests and professions can find adTowtea ana defenders in the Commons House excepting the commen people themselves . ^^ urem
^ That there are some well-irtenHoned and bfenCTdent mamfiuals among you , we readily admit ; hut lar too many of those who profess liberal and just principles think more of the safety of their seats , and the prejudice * of their associates , than they do of any active measures to cany their principles into practice . Instead of boldly proclaiming the dishonesty , hollowness and agnsfice rf your present legislative system , the party cry , of Whigand Tory , is too often the BsbsteBoe of then- speeches—the cheat and phantom whichyou all use to silence tta tfanid and diTert the ignorant . Tta do not
you represent the people of this country aui £ | w fcrthef seen from the faet , that those who retam 70 a are Dot more than tsevaiSi part of the adult male populajion ; for by the last returns that -werelaid befow yon ; wiBe in Great Britain and Ireland there « 8 « 2 > ont S ^ lS .-STSmales ifomt twtntyytan of age , the registered electors are only £ 12 , 916 ; sn 4 it is practirally proved , titat of those electors only about nine in every twelveadaaSj / vote ; and te these nine , many possess a plurality of votes . On airalyain ^ Hie constituency of the United Kingdom , it is also proved , tha' the majority ol yon are « tura * d by 158 . 870 regutered elictors , giving an average constituency to each of you of only 242 electors .

It is also proved , by the returns that have been made , tbat 39 of you are returned by leas than 300 ! electors each , 43 by less than 400 , 20 by less than 500 , 34 by less than 600 . 34 by lees than 700 , 50 by less than 800 , 18 fey less than 900 , and 23 by less than 1 , 600 registered elf-ctors . ! It is moreover notorious that , in the Commons I House , which is b&UI to ba exclusively the peoples * there are tico hundred and five persons who are immediately or remotely related to the peers of the realm ! Teat it also contains 3 maiquLsses , 9 earls , 23 viscounts ,
? 7 lnnte , 32 right bonourables , 83 bonourablea , 58 baronets , 10 knights , 2 admirals , 8 lord lieutenants , 74 deputy and vice-lieutenants , 1 general , 1 lieutenantgeneral , 7 ropjor-generals , 22 colonels , 32 lientenanfccolonels , 7 msjors , 67 captains in army and navy , 12 lieutenants 2 cornets , -53 magistrates , 63 placemen , besidfcs IDS patrons of church livings having the patronage of 247 livings between them ; and there are little more than 200 out of the 608 members of your house , who have not etb . 3 * titles , office , phce , pension , or church patronage .
These facts afford abundant proofs that you neither represent the number or the interests of the millions , but that the greatest portion of you have interests foreign , or directly opposed , to the true interests of the people of tbis country . 1 Setting aside your party changes and tival bickerings , I important only to those among you who are in poBses-I sion of the public puree ; -with a knowledge ot your ¦ past actions and with tbesa notorious facts before us , i —as plain-apeaking men , claiming the freedom of speech as our birthright , we hesitate not to declare , that individually and collectively yon have all been tried by the test of public vtiiity , and with few excfptioD have been found wanting in every r « qnisite for representatives of an intelligent and industrious population .
The wide extent of misery whicL your legislation has oec . is . onw 3 , and the epread ot information which yeur decrees could not suppress , have called up enquiring mieds in every portion of the empire to investigate your acriuns , to question your authority , and finally to condemn your UDJust and exclusive power . They have _ demonstrated to their brethren , that the only rational use of the institutions and laws of society , is to protect , encourage , and support , all tbat can be made to contribute to the happiness of all the people . That as the object to be attained is mutual benefit , so ought the enactment of laws to be by mutual consent . That obedience to the laws can only b » justly enforced on the ceitainty thst those who are called on to obey them have had , either personally or by their representatives , a power to enact , amend , or repeal them .
That all who are excluded from this share of political povr . r , are not justly included within tbe operation of the la sfs . To thtm the laws are not ouly despotic enactments ; and the assembly from whom they emanate can only be considered an unholy interested compact devising plans and schemes for taxi&fe and subjugating the many . In consonance with these opinions , they have embodied in a document called " The People's Charter , " such just and reasonable principles of representation as , in their opinion , are calculated to secure honest legislation and good government-That document proposes to confer the franchise on every citizen of twenty-one years of age , who has resided in a district three mouths , who is of sane mind , and unconvicted of crime .
It proposes to divide the Uuited Kingdom into three hundred electoral districts , containing as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants , each district to send one Member to Parliament , and no more . It proposes to take the votes of the electors by baUot , in order to protect them against unjust iifiuence . It proposes that Parliament be chosen annually . It proposes to aboliBh property qualifications for members of Parliament It proposes tbat members of' Parliament be paid for their services : and moreover contains the details by which all these propositions shall be carried into practice .
This document , being so just in its demands , has already received the sanction of a vast portion of the population , and petitions in its favour have already been iaid before you , containing a larger cumber of signatures than , probably , has ever beeii obtained in favour of any legislative enactment : and though indiscretion among some of its advocates may have retarded public epiBion in its favour , we are confident that tbe conviction in favour of itsjuttice and political efficacy has taken deep root in the mind of tbe nation , and is ranking rapid progress among all classes not interested in existing corruptions . That you may see the wisdom and propriety of timuly yielding to such opinion in favour of a better representative system , and that j < n » will speedily declare in favour of the People s ChaEIEE . ; or , by resigning your seats , prepare the way for those who wiil enact it as Ihe law of these realms , is the ardent prayer of the uader-Bigned inhabitants of this kingdom .

S : mpson for his services ob treasurer to the above fund , carried unanimously . Mr . Wheeler moved , and Mr . Rose seconded , tbe following resolution : — " Tbat this delegate meeting feel highly gratified with the liberal offer of Mr . Cleave in reference to the back numbers of the English Chartisi
Circular , and strongly recommend the metropolitan districts and the country generally to accept of the offer and carry it into immediate operation , it being an easy , and at the same time an efficient mode of realizing funds in aid of those who have been victimized , in the Chartist causa " Several delegates having expressed themselves favourable to tbe motion , it was unanimously agreed to . The snriject of the address of the proprietor » f the TZxxning Star was spoken to by Messrs . Simpson and Wheeler . Mr . Mudfe moved , and Mr . Grew seconded , " That we take into consideration Mr . Cooper ' s Plau of Organizv tion . " Carried . After some little discussion as to the method to be pursued in carrying out the resolution , Mr . Cnffay moved the following resolution : — " That
it is the opinion of this Delegate Meeting that the new Plan of Organization proposed by Mr . Cooper is by no means equal to the old plan if that is properly acted upon , we therefore respectfully reject it , at the same time v ? e think there is room for amendment in the © Id plan . " He considered the expense of the new plan would be an insurmountable objection , he was opposed to the presidential sittings , and to the aristocratic manner in which the salaries were appointed . He was also opposed to the Convention electing officers for the whole associationftend gave the plan his decided opposition . Mr . Maynard seconded the resolution . He should give the plan his most unqualified and determined opposition . He conceived it would require enormous funds to carry it out ; in ids opinion it W 3 S entirely
undemocratic to allow a committee to elect a head for the whole association ; he was in favour of thi present plan , with some slight alterations . He thought tbat the people had been equally to blame with the Executive in not carrying it ont . The Executive should be properly paid for their services , and attend solely to the business of the country . Mr . Simpson entirely disapproved of Mr Cooper ' s plan , and considered that he ( Mr . Cjhad bten equally guilty with others in deviating from the old plan . Mr . Rose was in favour of the plan advocated by Mr . Hill , of a paid Secretary and an unpaid committee . Mr . Wheeler was opposed to the main feature of the plan proposed by Mr . Cooper . The election of officers
by a limited Convention , would give great Ecope for tbe exercise of faction ; he could sta no utility in having a Vice President or a Yios Stcrt-tary , unless it was to make up the number of five , which Mr . Cooper considered t » be necessary for an Executive . He was in favour of a paid Secretary , an unpaid Treasurer , and a committee of four residing in the same town as tbe Secretary , who should act as assistants or advisers to him , and receive s small monthly salary for their services , Mr . Dron should record his opinions in opposition to the plan of Mr . Cooper , but was also opposed to an unpaid committee , as proposed by Me Hill ; he conceived that to be njing from ; one extreme to the other^—he was in favour of a middle course . He
¦ was very sorry that the country had ceased to send in : contributions to the Executive until they were out of 1 office or had resigned . It waa ' aduty incumbent upon ; them to afford them tkeir support . Mr . Page was opposed to the principle features of Mr , Cooper ' s plan , ( tnoufht that the system of monthly Balance Sheets and Class Papers would be an improvement upon the present plan . Mr . Mudge agreed -with the other 1 speakers in reference to tbe proposed plan of Mr . j Cooper . A . delegate expressed bis surprise that » o , member of the Conference from London , should have I been made acquainted -with the meeting of delegates at which
Mr . Cooper * plan was adopted . Mr . Maynard { stated he and his brother delegates were in company ) with Mr . Cooper until a late hour on Friday , but he ; heard not a syllable of the projected meetings , or he I should have stayed in Binningbam to attend it Other ] delegates expressed similar opinions . Mr . Cuflfeys j motion , rejecting the plan of Mr . Cooper , was unanl-; mously agreed to . Mr . Wheeler brought forward areso-, lution , expressive of the views he entertained relative to an Executive . Mr . Rose seconded the motion , but ' it was ultimately _ withdrawn , and a nvtice of motion

given to a similar effect . Mr . Page was instructed by the Bloomsbnry locality to lay before them the following resolution , agreed to at a public meeting of tbat body : " Resolved , tbat it is the opinion of this meeting that on account of the important business transacted by tbe National Charter Association , we , the Chartists of Bloomsbnry , feel called upon to recommend , and think it most important tbat the Metropolitan delegate meeting should immediately go to the election of a General Secretary { pro . tern J , to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr . John Campbell ; we deem it of the greatest consequence , owing to the very unsettled state of affairs , not knowing where to apply for cards or otherwise to forward communications which it is the business ot a General Secretary alone ie receive . We
therefore take the liberty of suggesting to tbe said delegate meeting tbe necessity of purchasing a fresh set of books , in case Mr . Campbell ( the late Secretary ) do not immediately give up the books , cards , and papers , tbe same being property belonging to the National Charter Association . We further recommend that the delegate meeting do take into their consideration -the propriety of making Borne alteration in the cards to be issued in future , or take such means as they may think proper , to prevent any cards ( held back from tbe Association ) being issued , until . the said Association are perfectly satisfied and the accounts settled . We , tbe Chartists of BloomBbury , think this a mostimportant question on occountof a determination come to by Mi . Campbell not to give up the books .
cards , and papers until he tbe said J . Campbell is paid the sum of £ 16 15 s 9 jd . being monies due to him by the sairi association . " The reselution , on the motion of Mr . Rose , was received . Mr . Page then brought his motion : for the delegate meeting to appoint a secretary pro . tern . Messrs . Whteler , Dron , Cuffay , and others thought that the delegate meeting had no authority , aud that the matter must be left to tbe decision of the whole body . Mr . Page then postponed the motion until the following Sunday . Mr . Mudge having stated his intention of going for a period into the VVest of England , the Secretary was instructed to give him a certificate , as being an active aud trustworthy Chartist . After the transaction of other minor business , tbe meeting adjourned .
Mr . Pakrt lectured to a very numerous andieuceon Sunday evening , at the National Association Hall , Holborn . upon *¦ The Life and Geniua of Lord Byron . " It was : m intellectual treat of the highest order , and gave universal satisfaction . Political and Scientific Institute . —A . n important meeting 0 / the Committee was held on Sunday , Mr . J . Colem&n in chair . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and con armed . Deputations were appointed to visit all tbe localities in London , to request the members to take up shares in tbe above Institution immediately , for tbe purpose of
completeing the repairs requisite previous to tbe opening of the same , which is expected to be in about a month ' s time . The working committee reported the progress of repairs aod recommended some plans regarding the lighting up tbe large room , and also a plan of the platform which were ado pted by tbe committee and agreed to by tbis committee . Tbe deputation appointed to collect funds repotted ths result of their labours , from which it appeared the total amounts collected by gifts , shares , and loans , amounted to about one hundred pounds , which has been expended in repairs and towards paying tbe premium of £ 100 for lease . The following prospectus has been issued : —
THE CITS OF LONDON POLITICAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION . 1 st—The objects of the Institute are to establish a cheap and commodious place of meeting , for ail ordinary public occasions , ( except that of religious discussions ) such as Political Meetings of any party , trades meetings , lectures , and innocent recreations . 2 nd . —To establish a library aud reading 100 m , upen such moderate terms as to allow the working classes to freely profit thereby . 3 rd . —To establish a day school , at tbe lowest possible pries , yet of & character calculated to uffovd sound and useful education . 4 th . —The management of the Institute v ilt be under twenty-five directors , ? nineteen ol whom are appointed from and by tbe shareholders at each of their annual general meetings ; the six trustees being ex iqficio directors .
The committee have taken possession of part of a large building in Tumagain-lane , Skinner-street , City of London , which they are converting into a Hall , 76 ft long by 24 ft wide , capable ot holding one thousand five hundred persons , which will have attached to it a Library room and Committee room . Ths premises are taken for four years and nine months , tzom Christmas , 1842 , at the yeaply rent of thirty guineas , after paying a premium of one hundred poundB , and are held in the names of six trustees . A deposit has been paid to the landlord , and an agreement for a lease executed , with liberty to extend the term to sevtn , fourteen , or twentyone years longer . Tbe calculation which ths committee have made of tbe yearly coat of the Hall is as follows : — £ b . d . Premium , paid on deposit ... 5 0 0 To be paid by the 20 th Feb . 1843 95 0 Estimates of repairs and fitting up 200 0 0
£ 300 0 0 Which divided by 4 j years , makes per annum ... 80 0 0 Bent 31 10 0 Taxes 15 0 0 Insurance 4 0 0 £ 130 10 0 The Committee have divided tbe right in that Hall into five thousand shares of five shillings each , which , when sold , would afford an ample fund for curving out the objects of the Institute .
But as success in selling ths shares will in some measure depend upon the occupation and use of the Hall , tbe committee have determined to ask tbe aid of those who agree -with them in the great usefulness of their undertaking . Three hundred and forty shares have been sold , and donations to the amount of thirty pounds have been received , independent of others promised . Theophilds Salmon , Secretary , 5 , New Court , Farringdon-street . The committee in laying the above prospectus before the public , wish to say tbat the sums therein eBnmerated will cover every expense requisite to carry out the objscts therein contained , as they consider it Vuiy important , that the public should not be buoyed up with
false hopes , as is the case too often among companies to catch the uuwary . The books of ruleB have also been printed and ordered to be sold at two-pence eacb only , to be had of the committee and any agent and committee in all the rooms of meeting in London . Tbe deputations appointed to visit various members of Parliament , reported tbe result of their labours , which were on the whole very encouraging . Mr . O'Connor had also promised to give three lectures on the land in tbe new hall , -when opened for the benefit of tbe same . Among the noblemen and gentlemen who subscribed to the establishment of the Hall , were the following : —The Kight Hon . Earl Radnor , £ 15 ; Thomas Penn , Esq ., of Greenwich , £ 5 is . who promised further assistance ; Dr . Fellowts , £ 2 ; Dr . Bowring , M . P ., £ 1 ; Bracey Clark , Esq ., 5 s ., with a promise of five pounds worth of books , a » soon as a library is formed . Several other gentlemenhad likewise promised to assist the committee
as soon as Parliament met . T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., had also promised to give the committee £ 25 to assist them in so laudable an undertaking . Votes of thanks were passed to the above gentlemen for their kindness . Mr . Cleave also made the committee a present of 500 Chartist Circulars , to be sold for the benefit of tbe halL The committee meet every Sunday morning , at ten , and every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to dispose of shares and receive monies due for the same , at their temporary Hall , 65 , Old Bailey . Much praise is due to the committee for their perseverence in waiting upon parties day and night , to endeavour to collect funds to open the Hall , which when done , will form a very commodious and handsomeplace of meeting , much to the credit of the working men of London , who it is hoped will back the committee in opening the above place , by taking out shares .
AT a meeting of the United Chartist shoemakers , held at th » Star Coffee-house , Golden-lane , Mr . Baxter was called to the chair ; upon the mution of Mr . Kearnes , it was unanimously agreed that we adopt the plan of Organization as laid down by Mr . Cooper , but that one penny pei fortnight be the contribution of each member ; one penny per month to go to the genera ! fund , and one penny per month to defray the expences of the locality .

ABBBOATII ^ -Mr . Abr , am Duncan delmyed a a very instructive au 4 energetic lecture in the Chartist Hall , Butnaide , on Saturday , J in .. 21 , on the taxation of the ( ipuntry ; Mr . Robert Stevenson in tbe chair . Mr . D . said the time ha $ not yet arrived when ever / British subject has got sufficient food and clothing , for we find that tenfold misery has increased of late years by misgovernment , and the , people , will continue to sink in the scale of moral degradation and wretchedness until equal justice is done * to them . Taxes are increased , and the social system is dimiuisbing , and unless the people ata enfranchised they will never be free and elevated as rational beings . We toil , and our labour ia taxed , and ail the articles necessary for existence are taxed . The light of heaven is frixed , and we can only enjoy it in our homes by paying to the
Government a tax ; if we live , we are taxed ; if we die , we are taxed . Ages yet unborn are taxed previous to their coming into existence . There is but oca remedy for slavery , and that ia union . Liberty is not to be bought with gold : its price is too high ; its value too great . The enslaved must themselves unite to break their fetters ; must get political power in their own bands ; must exercise tnat power honestly and with discretion ; and freedom in this world will speedily be established . Let us swear by all tbat is sacred and dear to us to make every effort human capability affords us peacefully , though resolutely and determinately , to set up the banner of liberty on the high bills of our native land , that it may be viewed by the world , and tbat our brethren in all parts of the globe may emulate our patriotic and virtuous example .
Mary hill . —A public meeting was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , on Wednesday evening week , to hear a report of two of the delegates from Glasgow to the Conference at Birmingham . Mr . James Adams gave a very minute detail of the proceedings of the Conference which met with general approbation ; and Mr . John Colqahoun also addressed the meeting at considerable length . It was moved by Mr . Lennie and seconded by Mr . Nicol , " Thnt the thanks of tbe Chartkts of Marybill be respectfully tendered to eacb of the delegates who voted for the People ' s Charter at the Conference at Birmingham , " which was carried without a dissentient . A vote of thanks was then carried to tbe delegates from Glasgow with acclamation , when tbe meeting quietly dispersed .
NEWCASTLE . —The Suffragists of this locality bad the walls placarded , announcing a public meeting of members to hear tbe report of their delegates to the Conference . Mussrs . Kidd and Sinelair ( believing the ; were acting perfectly right ) attended in the capacity of reporters to take a report of the proceedings for the Star , &c . ; but Sinclair had scarcely entered the room , when the " Sucking Pig" General , Wilkie , calculating upon the assistance of the rest of the humbugs , opened a regular tirade of abuse against Sinclair in particular
anil the Chartists in general ; and concluded by stating tbat they could not proceed with business , if their proceedings were to be reported to the world , and requtated the whole of the Chartists to withdraw , whose presence had been attracted by a report that the humbugs intended to use Kidd and Sinclair badly . Kidd saidthat he attended as a reporter to one of tbe most popular journals of the day ; and tbat if they requested it , ho would instantly retire , and leave them alone in their glory ; but before he did so , be would beg to inform Mr . W . that he was ashamed of the conduct of the
Sturgites at the Conference . He was prepared to prove thoiT conduct on that occasion to be anti-democratic ; and , moreover , he would prove to those present , or to any man at any time or place , that the Sturgetnen were either dishonest , or else impolitic , and checked Mr . Wilkie in some insinuations which he had thrown out against Mr . O'Connor in a private company in Birmingham . Mr . W . attempted to deny , but finding tbat Mr K . was not to be ttifivd with , he bad to confess , but would not undertake to prove bis assertions to be true—tbe Cburtists afterwards extracting a pledge from the » ' Sucking Pigs / ' that . they would not pasa resolutions , and stamp them as the resolutions of a pub-He meeting , then retired . The League having no f iith
in tbe honesty of tbe cause they advocate , found it inexpedient to hold public meetings in Newcastle and Sunderland , as at first intended , but collected their whole forces from Sunderland , South Shields , North Shields , Durham , Stockton , Hescham , Morpetb » Alnwick , GateBhead , Blyth , and Newcastle , to attend a publie meeting in Newcastle , on Friday evening last , as they considered it dangerous to meet the Chartists of Newcastle with a less number at their backs than the bumbugs of all the aforesaid towns and districts . After all they were afraid to try the experiment , without surrounding their chairman , the spital knight , with a shilling hedge , for none were admitted to the body of the hall without paying one shilling , and sixpence to the gallery . Tbe Chartists knew better than to enrich
their enemies by any such way , and wrote a challenge to the League , appointing Messrs . Franklaud and Sinclair as a deputation to present it to them at the public ineetine . When they arrived at the door they explained their mission , but would not be admitted without paying one penny each . Sinclair undertook tbe business by himself , and walking up to the platform presented the following note to the chairman , requesting him to read it iilond , which he did , viz . " The Chartists of Newcastle aud Gateshead are prepared to prove that a repeal of tbe Corn Laws , without accompanying measures , cannot benefit tbe working classes of this country , and do hereby challenge Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Col . P . Thompson , or any other gentleman to prove tbe contrary , at a public meeting upon equal terms . By order of the Chartists of Newcastle and Gateabead , James
Sinclair , , Secretary . *'—No sooner was the note read than the humbugs were fil ' ed with consternation . They declared they would kick Sinclair off the platform for having tbe impudence to come and challenge them , thinking that as he was the only Chartist there , he would take tbe hint and run away ; but they soon founds that they bad got the wrong sow by the ear—he was not of the run-away sort , but offered to exchange kicks with any of them that should make any such attempt . After the meeting , Messrs . Kirtd , Con Murray , and Sinclair , bunted all tbe hotels in towu for Mr . Cobden , to demand an explanation from him respecting the insinuations thrown out against the Chartists by him ; , hut it was no go . It would appear tbat be avoided coming in contact with them , knowing that they were too heavy metal for him .

MANCHESTER . —A public meeting waa held iu the CaartiBt Room , Brown-street , on Thursday evening last , to hear a lecture delivered upon the principles of the People ' s Charter by Mr . Brown , from London . Tbe room was crowded . Mr . Win . Dlxon was called to the chair . Mr . Brown , upon coining forward , was greeted by loud applause . He commenced by stating tbat nothing could more effectually * prove the rapid progress of the principles of democracy than the fact that the working classes bad found , that in order to be in possession of their just rights , it was necessary tbat they themselves should do the work . Some few years ago , it was the general opinion of the working
population , tbat in order to a political agitation it waa necessary that they should be in possession of a liberal education . ¦ But since tbe commencement ef tbe present agitation for tbe Charter , the working men bad found out that they cauld advocate the principles contained tbat document , because those principles were founded upon truth , aud . therefore needed no sophistry to recommend them to the people . They had found also tbat by coming in contact with their opponents in the arena of public discussion , that notwithstanding they were clad in fustian with their faces unwashed and their chins unshorn , that they were more than a mutch for those who dared to meet them , although they were

dressed in the finest of coats , with sleek faces , aud the advantages of education on their side ; and if any thing was wanting to prove tbis , ha need net go out of Manchester to substantiate the fact .. Had . they not known Jack , Sam , aud Bill to leave the factory and tbe loom after a hard day ' s work and go to meet tbe tools of the League , and by their plain unvarnished tales of truth to make the Corn Law gents , wince fcaneath the castigations that they had repeatedly given tkem ? ( load cheers . ) Mr . Brown then gave a favourable account of the progress of Chartism in the metropolis , and urged the audience to inculcate and encourage the growth of the principles of temperance and virtue , and in a powerful manner depicted the evils of intemperance , nationally , morally , and politically . Mr . Brown sat down amid the most rapturous applause . Some interesting amusements then followed , and the meeting broke up . I
The South Lancashire Delegate Meeting was hbid in the Chartist Room , Brown-street , Manchester , on Sunday ilast The attendance of delegates was larger than has been the case lately . Mr . Haalem was called to the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting , -which were confirmed . Mr . Nuttall then rose to ibring forward the motion of which he gave noticB at the last meeting . As Chartists they were bound to carry out the principles which they advocated as far as possible in their own concerns . He was sorry to say this bad not been attended to as much as it ought to have been ! One of the points of the Charter was equal representation ; and , therefore , the object of the present motipn was to amend the constitution of the county couacilj so as to procure the benefit ef tqual
representation to tbe ChartiBts of this division of Lancashire . Th ? principles of the resolution were just , and therfifura . needed * net a long spetch upon it . He would , therefore , content himself by reading the resolution •— il That in the opinion of this meeting , in order to provide for tbe just representation of the Chartists in the county council , that each locality be allowed one delegate for each fifty members ; and in order that all may be represented , those that have not the number o € members shaJl'bave one delegate to the said council- '' Mr . Dixon seconded the motion . Mr . Isherwood moved an amendment , and in doing so he wished te be distinctly understood . Ho agreed with the spirit of the resolution molveft by his friend Mr . Nuttall , but it waa his opinion that if the resolution was passed , it would
destroy > the very thing it was intended to secure—equal representation ; for inBkince , Warrington , supposing it to have 150 ndfmbers , it would cost them thirty shillings fo ; delegate expenses , whilst Manchester could send the same number of delegates without any expense whatever , an < 1 the same might be said of all the other localities ; therefore if tbe motion was adopted , whilst it made the representation equal , it also made the { delegate expenses very unequal- It was with those views that he brought forward his amendment— ¦ ' That it is the opinion of this meeting , that each locality have two votes for every hundred members , and an . additional vote for every fifty members above that number , providing they have a delegate present ; and all
localities noc having fifty members shall be allowed one delegate . * ' Mr . Kailton seconded the amendment After a little discussion Mr . Nuttall withdrew his motion ; in favour of the amendment . — Mr . Millar then moved tbe original motion as an amendment to Mr . Isherwood ' s motion , which was seconded by Mr . Camerijn , An animated but friendly debate took place upon the relative merits of the two resolutions ; and , upon being put to the vote , Mr . lahertrood's motion ;' was carried . Mr . Nattall moved , and Mr . Raitton seconded , "That we engage a lecturer for this district . "' -f-Carried unanimously . Mr . Cameron moveS , and Me . Ishtrwood seconded , " That the salary of the lecturer be 30 s . per week . "—Carried . On the motion of Mr . Rail ton , Mr . C . Doyle was engaged for a
fortnight , to commence upon next Monday but one . Moved by Mr . Isherwood , and seconded by Mr . Hibbert— "That Messrs . Rail ton , Miller , Nuttall , and Dixon be elected as a committee to wake oat a route for Mr . Doylo , and to bring out the new plan . " — Agreed to . The case of Mr . Thomas Dickinson , better known 03 the ajanchester Packer , was brought before the delegates by Mr . Nuttall , and supported by Wm . Dxon ; and , after a calm and impartial investigation of all the circumstances of that gentleman ' s case , the delegates passed the following resolutions unanimously : — " That we , the j delegates of South Lancashire ! in delegate meeting assembled , after examining the charges
brought against Mr . Thos . Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packer , declare , that unless other evidence can be produced than that brought before * us , we exonerate him from all blame , and rtquentthat he will continue in the agitation as a general lecturer . ' * Mr . Isberwood jmoved , a < d Mr . Hibbert seconded , — " That we , the delegates of South Laucasbire , do not interfere with the plan proposed by Mr . Cooper at the present . " Carried unanimously . Mr . laherwood moved the adjournment of Ihe meeting until that day three wetka . Agreed to . The Chartist painters of Manchester paid in rninepencc to the Irish lecturer ' s fund . Tbe thanks of ! the delegates were then given to the Cha i rman , and tbe meeting separated .
A general Meetino of the Chartists of Manchester was held in the Carpenters' Hall , on Sunday morning last , Mr . John Murray in the chair . The following resolutions were passed : — " That this meeting , after duly considering the Plan of Organization , proposed by Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , . are of opinion that ; it would be found wholly impracticable , besides exposing many of our best frienda to the meshea of tbe law , and therefore they deem it prudent to reject it altogether . " " That this meeting believing that the old Plan of Organization might be rendered perfectly efficient for all the purposes reqnired , are therefore ot
opinion tbat a delegate meeting should be called to consider its details , and to make sueh additions and emendations as the delegates instructed by their various constituencies might think neeeasary . " " That this meeting recommend to the country the following five pers » n 8 , v e . Messrs . Dron , Maynard , Lucas , Wheeler , and Ridley , as a committee to audit the books of tbfc Executive Commiitee . " After some conversation upon a variety of local business the meeting was adjourned until the fiTSt Sunday in February . All communications for the Chartists meeting in Carpenters' Hall must be addressed to Maurice Donovan , 15 , Gardenstreet , Hulme , Manchester .
KETTERING . —On Wednesday and Thursday lost , two lectures were delivered in this place by Mr . Gammage , of Wolverbampton , to numerous and attentive audiences . WHILTON ( NOBTUAMPTONSIUEE . )—Mr . R . G Gamrnage lectured ; here , on the right of the people to the occupation of ; the land . He bandied his subject in a most argumentative manner , and supported bis position as well from scripture as from reason . KIDDERMINSTER . —Mr . Crouch lectured here on Monday last , at tbe White Horse Inn , and gave general satisfaction . At the close three shillings waa collected for the Victim Fund , and five new members were enrolled .
