      The beard of guardians held their usual weekly meeting on Sainrcay , Air . G . Diilon , of Coolmuck , in xhe chair . Amongst those who applied for admission was a youth named Michael Gosling , aged about eighteen , and four sisters ,, varying from fourteen to geven years of age-On the appiicasts coming into the room , the chairman aiked him if the four little girls were his sisters ! Gosling—Yes , yer honour , tbty are , sure enough . Chairman—Where is your father ?

      Gosling—He ' s in America . Chairman—Where ' s your mo'her ! Gosling— 'Troih I don ' t know , yer honour : but 1 b'lieve she went to my fathtr when we were turned out . Commissioner—Who turned you oat ? Gofhng—Mr . Hiil aid . Commissioner—Who is Mr . Hill 1 Gosling . —Divil a oneofmysel knows . He only come there some year 3 agone as agent , an i < li the sore day to us all . He ' s agent , I heard , to Mr . Dinney .

      Commissioner—Oh ! you lived on the Ballykeeran property . Gosling—Yes , yer honour ; bud I wa 3 turned out three weeks since , and 1 was trying to support mysel aad the childer here till I was ladin * a horce that run away wud me , an' hurt my leg ; and as I wasn ' t able to work , I was forced to let mysel an' themstla come in here . Chairman—Did you get any money when you were turned out ! Gosling—ily mother got SOs . for throwing down the house . Chairman—How much 2 and had you ? Gosling—Three roods , yer honour , and a schramoaue of a g&r < i « n . C&airman—Hotv many families were turned out ? Gosling—Forty families , wud six or seven , and sometimes eight and nine , in every oue of them .

      Ccairman—That is , on the lowest calculation , 2 G 0 Svuls at a clearing . Well , it was not a bad aay ' s work , certainly . Do you know John Doyle ? Gosling— Faith an to be ture I do , your reverence . He'll be in the next week wud you : he ' s strivin' to kwp out , bud he won ' t be aHle , since he los : tbts bit cf land , an' the 30 ^ he got for knocking down the cabin he ped for getting into a room fill M :-y , but he won ' t be able to support the family buym' every thing . Chairman—Do you know Jem Heaton ! Gosling—Sure enough I do , y « r honouT , for be gotten acres of the land , and more av 1 say id . Chairman—Well , as you got money for throwing down the houses and giving possession , I should suppose those who had land gave something for it to the agent , did they ?

      GoBhng—Divil a one o ' mysel can well tell , only as ihe neighbours say . I heard Jem Heaton gave £ 7 or £ 8 : and Larry Dearden , every ono knows , gave u heifer and a pound note , and got nine acrea ; but thongh John Kearney gave £ 3 he only got an acre . Captain Stubbs got the most entirely of ony one thai's all . Chairman—Did Captain Stnbbs give any money ? Go .-ling . —Don ' i you know well enough he did ? I diun't see any of the money counted to be sure ; but the divil a perch aDy one got if ihey did not give some , and that every one knows , for any one that did ' nt wa ? turned out . Chairman—Was it Mr . Hill who got all this moaey ]

      Gosling—It was to be sure , and he'd take more av he got id , bat he ' s in a stew now himself , lor he ' s wrote against to the head man . Who wrote against him ! Go .-iinx— 'Troth one that knew how to do it well , Mr . Tern Gannon : sure your reverence knows him well enough . Chairman—Was there any money sent to be given to the poor p&ople when turned out i Gosling—The neighbours say there was , and that he robbed the people . regnlsriy , and didaVgive them

      the half

      Chairman—Who is the owner of the property ? Gosling—Col . Bligh , yer honour . Chairman—Do CoL Bli >< h or Mr . Disney know of his work in Bally keeran ? Gosling—Bad manners to me if I can well tell ; but sure Mr . Gannon wrote to some of them and tould them all . Soma would say that the Colonel is a good man , an' av he knew id , he'd put a stop to id , an' some say they'd be no us-e in tellin' him about id , that his mind-M ptsoned wud lif s and stories ; but mysel doesn't think be knows tho half of id , for no Christian that thinks he has a sow 110 be saved would do tho like , more especially some of them that were lyin' or red hot ouv of the fever , vho Lord save us , an 1 they weie all hurled out in the door just like pigs you'd bedrivm' to a fa : r .

      PUBLIC MEETING A . T MA-RYLEFjOHS . A public meeting of the inhabitants of the » bove place , was held on Monday evening , at the Social Hall , John-street , Tottenham Coutt-Tr , ad to hear the report of their delegates to the Birmingham Conference , Shortly after eight o ' clock Mt , Poizer proposed , and Mr . Felling seconded , " That Mjt . Lovett take the chair . " " This was unanimously agreed to and received with great applause .

      Mr , Lovett comtB « nced Taj stating that ho must crav « their indulgence , as be was suffering under severe indisposition . The thief object of the meeting was to enable their delegates to the Birmingham Coaference to have a . public opportunity of renderiag an . account of th ' er stewardship . From his persenal knowledge of their conduct , he had every reason to believe their report would give perJeot satisfaction , but as it is almost impossible to please a \ l parties , if any one felt disposed to express their dissatisfaction , he trusted they would be listened to with the same attention as though they wore eulogistic io their praise . It was one peculiar advantage of Chartism that it courted inquiry , that it had everthing to gain by investigation , whilst Toryism , Whi ^ gism , and other isms , the more they were investigated , the more their montrosities were

      apparent . j _ , estauy 0210 present should be unacquainted with the objects and establishment of the Complete Suffrage Union , he would , as an introduction to the report of their delegates , enter into a brief narrative of its origin . Mr . Lovett then , gave an interesting account of the establishment and transactions of , tho Suffrage Union , until the calling together of tho late Conference . He believed there was a growing feeling ia the country in favour of Chartism , which would ultimately force the legislature to agree to the principles of the Charter , and the same force of public opinion would also iorce them to adopt thts details . He entertained the same opinion now as he everhaddono ; that their objects could never bepeacefully attained uueii a cordiai union was effected with the honest portion of the middle classes . Mr . L . on sitting dowu "waa loudly cheered .

      Mr . LrcAS having been called upon by the Chairman to report , stated that he had great pleasure in giving an account of his stewardship , and entered iiuo a plain , circumstantial detail of the business transacted at the Conference , and of the manner in which his votes were given , and concluded by stating that he had voted tor those measures which ne believed were mo 3 t calculated to benefit the publio ; ana if duty again called him , come weal , come woe , ho should be prepared to go forward in the cause ot numaniiy and justice— ( cheer * - ) .

      Mr . Parry stated ihat he appeared before them ia accordance wnii the usual uiul proper proceeding that individuals rtprea ^ utiD ^ the opinions of a boJy of men upon impunani subjects , and being delegated by tbum , should ^ ive an account of the manner in which they hao . fuldilcd that delt-gaiiou . Tue object of ihe Conference was confessedly to unite by means 0 / au enlarged and general investigation into the causes which had hitherto produced disunion , the wisest and most enlightened of the middle classes with the wurkin '' classes for the attainment ol tho

      Suffrage . Upon the cardinal points , on which all iegialaiion upon that subject must hin ^ e , they were already untied ; the previous Conference had decided , amidst unanimously , in favour of the principles of the Charter . The qutstioa to bo decided was , with what details these principles should bo surrounded so as to secure their practical tffict w-hoii brought into operation . This was a subject which it was necessary to approach with feelings of delicacy and iorbearancti . and as an individual he was actuated by those sentiments and those aluuo . 1 c was well known that the Charter was ienced about with eood

      practical details , that it had been long before the public , that it nad rallied about it almost more public opinion and bupport than any measure ever offered to the attenliou of a civilizsu people . This was a fact which could not be got rid ot ; thia the Complete Suffrage pany seemed to have overlooked ; they had forgotten or overlooked that the Cbauer was the index of a large ana growing public opinion . Here , then , the two parties came into collision . A gentkman in the eabfideuco of the Sturge pany moved a series of resolutions , three of which were admirable , but the jovirth pledged them to take as

      the basis of discussion a Bili previously tiamea , ot which they knew nothing . Tnis wua manifestly unjust , lu the House of Commons leave was asked to bring in a bill , if granted , it was brought iii aud placed in the hands of every member previous to its going through tbo first , second , and tDird readings Tnis shuiild have bteu done at the Conteienco ; but instead of this they were asked to stultify themselves by coming it » a decision upon a bill of which they knew nothing . Mr . Lovett , who tr rough a long and persecuted lifo had adhered to th-j principles of the Charter , implored them to withdraw it or to substitute for it the Charter .

      This they refused . ( Hear . ) It had been said that they were contending about triflesaoout a mere name . On the part of tho Chartists he denied this ; the Chart ; sts for many years had been an important section of Reformers ; year after tear tLey had grovvn iu strength , and witnout profanny he might also tay , they have grown iu gra . ee , and it was casting a complete insult upou this important body for a par . y to btep forth at the tlvwMn hour and tet aside that without which they would have had no political existence . If it bad uot been for the people ' s staunch adherence to the Charier , where would have been either the Noncon / ortMst newspaper , or the Complete Suffrage Union ? Tneir conduct was like the creaturo flj ing in tho face of

      its Creator , like a caild flying in 1 L 0 face of its parent , lie conceivtd there was a fcreat moral principle auaciud to their remaining firm to tho Charter ; he did not mean a bigoted attachment which would admit of no improvement , which would make it like the laws of the Medcs and Persians ; such was not the meaning of Mr . Lovett or those who support- d him , for they went further . Tney ofiVied to take the two bills and discuss them clause by clause ; but even this the Complete Sutfrage party would not accede to , but ^ uienninsd to adhere to their mushroom bill and thereby shewed a desire on their part to be disunited . It was asserted that they wero led by a blind bigotry to the Charter , which would admit of no discussion

      upon the subject . This assertion , whether put forward by the press or by public meetings , he totally denied ; there was not a word of truth in it ; they were d-. sirous ol discussing it , of making improvements where it could be shewn that improvements were needed ; but they would not have the Charter superseded . If any other bill was brought forward , let i . grow out of the Charier . The great objection urged against the the adoption of the Charter was the prejudices of the middle classes ; when aaktd ii they were worthy prejudices , they were compelled to answer they were not ; why , then , should they pander to unworthy pri judicts ? no good wa 3 ever achieved by pursuing thai temporizing line of conduct . Let them Iouk ai the agittuion against tne church ; nothing

      could be more con . empwble than the conduct of Dissenters in that agitanon ; they disliked , ihey denounced the church , but for peace take , for the prejudices that existed in its favour , they would not lift up their voice m public , but ouly in their parlours and drawing rooms ; in public they inveighed against . Ecclesiastical Courts and against church rates , but hmied not a word of the profane blasphemy of an alhance between Church and Siate ; and the consequence was that their agitation was a bye word anaareproach ; that it did not give the most bloated sinecurist a inomsut ' b qualm ; it had no principle of vitality iu it ; ; t did not attack the gn . at lucubus , that monster-Iilie preyed upon the vitals of religious freedom , and would never be deotroved until they

      struck fearlessly at the root of the evil . If they ( the Char lists ) had given vt ay upon the name ot the Charter they would have been placed in the same contemptible position . Did ibe early Christians abandou their name because of the opprobrium attached ( . 0 it 2 JS ' it was gir ^ u them as a nickname , but they stood Srmly by it , through persecution and calumny until they made it a naiaa before which Kiugs trembled and the nations of the earth bowed . And why should not Cbarti-ts equally abido by their name Thty had suifsred persecution , imprisonicuit , and even death in the cause—they were denounced by ihe rtfited aristocratic press of the coutiiry as blackguards , as a disgrace to society—even now , in weii dresitd company , to acknowledge yourself

      a Chartist , was to expose ; yourself to r « pruach . But should they yield to this feeling 1 No ; they should rcoist—th y should conquer it , and eventually they wou . ' c be su . e to do so . hie believed ttm opposition of the middle classes wis to the principle and not to the uame , a « d that they could never be convinced , until they found it impossible to carry their own one-sided measures , that would bo schoolmaster , and not auy Bill put forward by the Complete Suffrage Union . Idle objections had been raised about the violence of some Chartists , but they should not judge of a gem from the incrustations around it , Dut from its inherent lustre a » d value . He believed that the mid&le classes felt themselves insulted by being asked to take the Charter under another name ; they asked whether they were considered such fools as to be gulled by a name . Call it by what name they would , its principles were the same : they asked them to receive

      the Charter as a child ia induced to swallow a pill in a litcie jelly or other gilding ; thej thought that under the form of their monstrous Bill , the Charter would ba 80 concealed as to glide in thejhearts of tho middle classes . He ( Mr . Parry ) believed they would yet find themselves in error ia following this eourse . He should wish to speak with respect of Mr . Sturge and his party , but ho must maintain that their late conduct at the Conference , shewed that they wanted that enlarged capacity , that grasp of mind , which would have enabled them to scatter unworthy prejudices and have stood forward in advance of the great movement . He believed they would have stood a much better chance of success when backed by a mighty public opinion in support of the Charter , than they now would , deserted , in a great measure , by the people , and asked the middle cUsses to join a something they were afraid to call by its own name , although they might call it by

      a more respectable one ; nothing could be more glaring than their inconaiatQaoy in refusing to allow the Charter to be laid on the table at the Conference , and then going to another room , and laying it on the table , in copjunction with their own . He would not draw an inference of dishonesty from this , but he would say that they did not know what they were about . Mr » Parry then compared the conduct of the Sturge party in styling themselves theConfereuce to that of the three tailors of Tooley-street , heading an address with "We the people of England ;" one was not a ) 6 b more ridiculous than the other . He then gave a brief glance at the amendment in

      the Charter , relative to tho loss of the franchise for crime , and concluded by alluding to the fain effort of the anti-Corn Law League , and impressed upon his audience the necessity of keeping firm to their agitation for the Charter , which he designated as the master-piece of policy , as the key which would open tho granaries to a furnished people , as the only salvation for the working classes , and deolared his couviction that if they were led away from this by any paltry prejudices against names or individuals , they would deeply aud bitterly repent it . Mr . Parry waa loudly oheered during the whole of his address .

      Mr . Wheeler , In giving in his report , stated his opinion that the Sturge party , in their secession from tho Conference , and their after coi duct , had acted more like spoiled children than a body of intelligent , high-minded mon , assembled to promote the welfare of the empire ; alluded to the ameudments made in the Charter , to the original motion of Mr . Parry , aud the amendment of Mr . White to the bad policy of the proposition , that the votes on that question should be published ; and stated his regret and disappointment that Mr . Loveit should have declined the offer made by Mr . Copper on behalf of the Chartists , that he should tssist in drawing up a- plan of organisation , under which the two Associations could have been merged into one grand whole ; he was in hopes they could have left Birmingham , declaring : — " The friends we ' ve tried are on our side j The foe we hate before us . "

      He supposed Mr . Lovett had not sufficient confidence in the truth of thfcir desire for a union , or not sufficient faith in his own friends to accept the offer in the same spirit in which it was given ; ho nevertheless trusted that they should continue to act in amity , that party spirit should be abolished , arid all belong to the party of the people . Mr . Maiiley , aftor apologising for the absence of Mr . Buchanan , in a neat address , moved the following rcsolvitioa : — " That this meeting having heard with pleasure the report of their delegates to the Birmingham Conference , cordially approve the course and conduct they pursued on that occasion , more e * prcially in thtir supporting the amendment— ' Tnat the People ' s Charter bo the basis of discussion' —and the conciliatory resolution proposed by F « argus O'Connor , and seconded by John Humphrey Parry . This meeting , therefore , returns them thtir sincere and warmest thanks . "

      Mr . Davoc , in a long and eloquent speech , during which he was loudly cheered , seconded the motion . Mr . Pcddifoud , in a rambling manner , made soms remarks upon what he styled Mr . Parry ' s attack upon the body of Dissenters , which drew an explanation from Mr . PaTry . Dr . Black addressed the meeting at some length . Their enemies , ho asserted , expected to have had a rich harvest of defamation and abuse from the disputes they expected to arise in the Metropolitan election ; but they were signally defeated . No public meetings ever passed off in a more creditable manner . They were also doomed to have a similar disappointment at the Conference , and must have become convinced that the time for the destruction of their party by internal divisions had now goue by . He approved of the conduct of the Chartist delegates at the Conference ; they were in a position which

      compelled them to act in the manner in which they had ; the forbearance they had shown in their hour of triumph to their opponent ? , aud the conciliatory conduct and resolution which they came to , had won them the good opinion of many who wero previously averse to them ; it had compelled them to give tho Chartists credit for the virtue of moderation , which they would never previously allow that they possessed . He advised them to stand by their name inc ) organization ; but at the same time not to oppose those who from prejudice could not exactly coincide with them . The most sanguiua of the Anti-Corn Law party thought they should be enabled to obtain that measuie during the ensuing session , and , being disappointed in that , would flock in thousands to the Charter Blandard , provided the Chartists did nothing to aggravate the breach existing between the two parties . He entirely coincided with the vote of thanks to their delegates .

      Mr . Hetiieringto : * , in a long and humourous address , supported the resolution , and gave his testimony to tho honourable and prominent part taken by their delegates at the Conference . He rather disagreed with Mr . Parry , that in secediug from the Conference , the Complete Suffrage party did not know what they were about . He thought , that they did know what they were about , and that it- ' was their objVct to sever from the Chartist 3 , and took that division as a fitting opportunity . They were got along with two or three hundred sterling Chartists , designated as violent men , &c , and being naturally alarmed , they took the first opportunity of getting away . He was not sorry for this . He

      should rtjoiee at their making converts among the middle classes ; let it be under what namo it would he , did not behove that they would succeed ; but let them try . He thought the Conference had effected great good by uniting the secuons of Chartists more firmly than tuey had hitherto been . Unfortunately tho Chartists had always most violently opposed those who approached nearest to them . He trusted a spirit of conciliation would be cultivated among them . Mr . Hetheringtpn then alluded to the Corn Laws , and stated his opinion that on tho failure of that scheme Chartism would receive a great accession of strength . The resolution was then unanimously carried .

      Mr . Baixbridqe moved and Mr . Farher Seconded in excellent speeches the following resolution , which was unanimously carried : — " That this meeting deeply regret the want of moral courage displayed by the Complete Suffrage parry at the Birmingham-Conference , by not coming forth boldly in support of the People ' s Charter , a document containing the same principles as their Bill of Rights , thus pandering to unworthy prejudices , and preventing that cordial union amongst all parties which is so universally desired . " It being now a very late hour , a vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr . Lovett for hia services in tho chair .

      Mr , LovExr , iu reply , stated that at such a late hour , he should not long detain them , but he wished to make gome observations on what had fallen from Mr . Wheeler . He then entered into some explanations of a clause in the Charter alluded to by Mr . Wheeler , and stated in reference to the proposition of Mr . Cooper , that he did not understand him to mean anything relative to a prospect of blending the views and actions of the two associations , or he should distinctly have stated his opinion upon the subject . If the members of the National Chartist Association , were prepared to como up to tho views of the National Association , to which they had hitherto been partly opposed , he should feel glad of the

      proposition . Tne members of the National Association believed that to prepare the people to uso power wisely when they had obtained it , it waa necessary to have a systematic plan of political and general education . They also differed on another point ; they belieyod that one half of the human race were excluded from political power , and that until woman possessed equal political and social rights with man , the human race would never be placed in a favourable position ; that while woman was kept in her present degraded condition , she would never exercise ihe important influence sho possessed , so as to condnce to tho achievement of man ' s political rights ; they were therefore in favour of educating woman to enable her to fulfil that high dystiny to which she was entitled . If the members of tho National Charter Association would come up to these views , he should

      have no objection to unite and agitate conjointly with them , but to carry this out , they must do away with that spirit of intolerance which has been too prevalent among them . Tney must allow those possessing ( i-. fferent views to carry them out without hostility . They , Mr . Lo / ett ' s party , had been traduced and maligned , but if they were willing to throw the mantle of oblivion over the past , they must insist upon the same mantle being thrown over other classed who were going forward for the same object ; they must depend for success upon the exercise of their reason , upon the moral influence of their honesty and intelligence , and not attempt to browbeat or bully others into their opinion , and when this course was adopted , when the dictates of reason , integrity , and enlightened knowledge were brought into active operation , no government would be able to stand against them .

      • 12 1 HULL . —On Monday evening , Mr . Hill lectured on the present state of Chartism , in his Churca-room . The room was crowded , and the lecturer , though in a state of very ill health , was much applauded . It had been announced on the placards that a member ' s meeting wou ^ d be holden after the lecture , and accordingly at the conclusion of the lecture the members remained to transact business . There was a numerous attendance of members and a most cordial unanimity and good feeling prevailed among ; them ; the half dozen discontented spirits who have lately disturbed our meetings , being absent at tho dinner which their patrons , the Leaguers , were giving to their independent (!)

      dolegates , Mossrs . Webster and Pad get , in honour of their triumph over the Chartistd in the return of this { brace o £ double-dealers to tho Birmingham Conference .

      and that person having constantly refused to do so , or to make oqt any account of the monies which have none through his hands for the last year ; having specially requested Mr .

      Association rrquire t ^ at none of their Chartist brethren will hereafter pay money into Mr . Padgett ' s hands , or inany way prjform acknowledge him asa Chartist . " 2 ad— " That iui the opinion of this Association , the conduct of Mr . ; Webster has , for some time back , been such , as utterly to forfeit any confidence we might have formerly had in him ; and to preclude the possibility of auy body of men acting with him in publio matters , or placing the least reliance on his good faith ; and that this Association , therefore , doelares Mr .

The propriety of giving females a superior education was then ably advocated , aud in tho course of which a few able remarks were made upon the justice administered in the Senate Houseon the

      , Bench , and at tho i Bar . Spiritual teachers were not lefc ia the back-ground , but , above all , the splendid observations on the evils of War , will not be 6 oon forgotten . I She then concluded the first lecture , by advising fevery young woman , to do all in her power to emancipate her countrywomen ; her second , lecture went principally to show the evil eff .-cts produced by the bad examples of parents , in which the evils of drunkenness were painted in such a way as to be worthy of the notice of every one Her advice to mothers was very affecting , and the whole was delivered 'so as to be interesting to all , and offensive to none , i
