    B 1 LSTON . —Oh Thursday evening , the usual -weekly meeting of the National Oiarter Association was held in their spacious Tooma , and bo great was the anxiety of the ynblic to hear our highly esteemed and talented lecturer , Mr . Mason , that for an hour before the time appointed for commencing business , the place 'was crowded to suffocation , and hundreds conld not gain admittance . A working man was called to the chair , ¦ who in & brief manner introduced Mr . Mason to the ¦ waiting multitude , amidst bursts of applause , which made the Com Law Clique , not far distant , look like ghosts . Mr . Mason most lucidly delineated the misery , degradation , an 4 oppression which existed throughout the land , and pointed to its original cause—class legislation , and most energetically expaBed the finesse and

    tnckery resorted to by the Government to cause a feeling of hatred and animosity to exist between * hi » country and the land of the immortal Emmett and O'Connor ; and he . hoped now , at the eleventh hour , when the middle class men acknowledged their inability to carry any measare either in the Hosse of Commons or out of it , that "we , as Chartists , -would prove tlie sincerity and reality of on * principles by standing aloof from both factions , and let them devour each other , — pull devil pull Whig ; if they will join ns , they must get Jfeked in our political waggon , and in the shafts too , and we promise we will find them good and well-tried leaders and pushers , that will push the sliding scale and all other slippery bad-scales into the river Styx , but in the union we will have no compromise , no twaddle

    about this point or that point , our Charter is nailed t » tte mast of the ship Liberty—the Charter , the whole Charter , and no surrender—( deafening shouts of applause ) . The speaker kept on nearly two hours . It would be impossible to do justice to a tenth part of the animating and enlivening description he' gave of tho progress cf Chartism throughout the country ; Now the same class of men who a few months since were most Mtter io d coasting us as firebrands and destructives , and imntniiog ns within the dungeons , fhi « same class were now joining our ranks , and we , as working men , "Would prove ourselves mere honourable than our perse cutors . Let them only prove tiicir sincerity to our cause by placing the shield of justice to surround us , and we will prove our sincerity to them by surrounding

    them with a phalanx of security that all the powers ¦ on earth united cannot withstand ; but no compromisewemusthaveevery hair ' s breadthoftheCharter —( cheers He argued that our Charter was all but gained , it now depended upon our union and peaceful determination , not to be led away by this party or that , neither the new move , nor the new new move , the side move , nor the back move , but steadily to progress in the straight forward noble move for the Charter , and in a very short time all the other moves would crnmble into one general move—general Charter move and no surrender . The middle class men now declare they are ruined unless they get the Charter . We thank them ; they have found out the secret at last . Yes , "to their sorrow they have ; their tills and money bars are getting empty , the

    iiig fishes are eating np the little ones . Yes , the monster menopoly , they cry , is ruining them , and no redemption from the House of Commons as at present constituted . Not a Whig leader in England that has not wrote three hundred articles to write us down , and , now they are employed in writing us up . Three hundred gentlemen , in Manchestar , recently drew up a document declaring we should have the Charter , and in less than ten hours upwards of ten thousand signed the document for the Charter—( loud applause . ) At a meeting recently csnvened by the Corn Law League , in the Town Hall , Coventry , the Mayor in the chair , we discussed for seven hours the Charter ^ point by point , Which terminated in triumphant shoutB for the Charter . At a similar meeting recently in Worcester , the universal shout was given us , " The Charter , give ua the

    Charter . " And , to come nearer home , Mr . Stfarge and Co ., of Birmingham , since their recent return frcm London , now declare for all contained in the Charter—( great applause . ] Th « speaker concluded by affectionately and zealously pressing upon every individual present , to go to work with renewed vigour and zeal , and join heart and hand in . the straggle , and sat , down amidst thunders of applasse . A vote of < ; hft-nVa -were unanimously given him for his untiring and zealous services . Three cheera for the GfaarUr and no surrender ; three cheers for our noble champion Feargns O ' Connor , Esq . ; and three cheers for all banished and imprisoned patriots : after which several new members joined our ranks , and several cards of membership were issued , and the meeting separated highly gratified with the evening ' s proceedings .

    X > TJ 2 ! IBAB , TON . —On Tuesday evening the 225 nit a public meeting was held in the Bev . Mr . Somerville ' , Chapel , to hear an account from Mr . Stirling , of his delegation to London , as representative of the Dnm-Jbarton and Leven Com Law Repealer ? . The meeting was large , and a considerable number ef Le- * en Chartists were present expecting a move on Ihe question of the Suffrage . After Ml . Staling had read the London resolutions , aud described the treatment which the ¦ Repealers had received from thi 3 house of their own creation . The Rev . Mr . Somerville proceeded to make some observations on the evils ef the Gam Laws . The inconsistency with religion and humanity , the effects produced upon trade , and submitted a declaration Which staled that enfranchisement was necessary to be conferred upon the people btfore their repeal could be effectei ? . Mr . Young rose to submit an- amendment to

    the effect that " as the Charter had been near four years 2 > efore the country , the meeting could not at that advanced stage of the agitation agree to an alteration of its details ; that they were determinedpeaeefully , and legally , to agitate their daims , until that Charter were recognised as the law of this country . " Mr . William ZThomason seconded the amendment . He pledged him , self to hold by the six points of the Charter in all their integrity . The motion after some discussion was withdrawnj and also amendment , and Mr . Thomason moved , and Mr . Ssmerville seconded a resolution Expressing the desirableness of a union between classesstill leaving it in the hands of the entire people to propound the termB . The meeting seperated more deeply convinced , that as class legislation had been the cause , so the Charter would have to be the instrument which alone could save the country .

    AI » BXA ? n > RlA . —On Thursday evening , a meeting look place In the Independent Chapel , Alexandria , to io hear Mr . Stirling ' s report ; nothing particular occurred , besides confirming the resolutions of the Xondon Conference . A resolution condemnatory of Peel ' s plan , and a vote pf thanka to the delegate ; the Whole passed away quietly . The Chartists were there to stand by their order if anything had occurred requiring their interference . Tbade is dreadful—this lovely vale is now the scene of poverty and want . Scores are out -of work , and tha few who are employed are getting their scanty pittances reduced 6 s . Sd ~ in the pound . The prospect is dismal . The petition is being ^ mmeiously signe d , and someot cur iddie classes are viewing us with feelings of greater complacency .

    DOKCASTSR . —On Sunday evening , our Associ . i iaon soon waa crowded to excess on account of an unexpected visit of Mr . Ross , of Bradford , who , on being applied to , kindly consented to deliver a lecture . Having received information that 3 Ir .

    CHSZtSSA . OT 7 TBAGEOTJS COSDtCT OF THE Chesea anti-Cobs Law Association . —It having been announced by bills , &c , that a public lecture ¦ wou ld ba delivered at the Bath Gardens , Chelsea , by Sidney Smith , on Friday evening last , a crowded placewas the reels . The lecturer commenced and continued in his usual strain from seven until a quartePpast e ; qht without the least molestation . At this moment 31 r . O'Connor entered the room , and his appearance was hailed with deafening cheers . Ike reporter for this paper having taken his place at the table , the tradesmen and gentlemen constituting the Committee of the anti-Corn Law Association , threatened to throw Mm off ihe platform into the body of the meeting ,- but he firmly maintained his position ss a reporter . Boring tMs

    4 ime , Mr . Sidney Smith , the denouncer of the benevolent Sturge , and all extenders of the suffrage to the working classes , was dealing out fire and fury to the audience , calling them ruffians , rabblement , be , and declaring Feargus O'Connor should not be heard ; in 'which he wa 3 assisted by Mr . Whitehead , Chairman , a master builder , who very liberally told tbe audience they were only there as visitors , and if they did not . like the entertainment they might go and leave it Finding that the " ruffians" tnd " rabblement of O'Connor ' s paper constitution mongers" possessed too much good sense to make a disturbance , they appeared desirous of making not only a disturbance but a riot

    lliemselves . They declared the meeting dissolved , putting down the drop scene , and putting out the gas on ihe platform , the landlord of the Manor House bringing a horse-whip , and threatening to lay it about Mr . lUdley ' s shoulders , but taking especial care not to put his threat isto execution . The good Bense of the " O'Connor rabblement" prevailed , and consequently the peace of the locality was preserved . This will doubtless be the last attempt of the hypocritical pretenders of humanity , and friends of the people , in this locality , Mr . O'Connor was escorted by a cortege of * ' blistered hands" to the tnp of Sloane-street , and was thus saved fram the violence of the very moral and religious Com Law Repealers .

    ST . ANDREW'S—PPPLrc MEETING . —In consequence of the " shabblM" alias the Cem Lav Repealers , having refused the Chartists of this city an opportunity cf discussing the Corn Law Question at the meeting lately held by that party , and that too after we had allowed them fairly and fully to stat 9 their nostrums at Mr .

We resolved to call a public meeting of the inhabitants for the purpose of bearing the true state of the question , brought out in the shape of a lecture , by Mr . John Duncan , of Dundee .

David Black , shoemaker , was called to the chair . He introduced Mr . Duncan , who was loudly applauded in an eloquent lecture , of about an hour and a half's duration ; he exposed the sophistries ef the League , proved that it was more to the reckless speculation and over-trading of the capitalist , than to the Com Laws that the present distress was to be attributed , and showed in the simplest and clearest , yet eloquT . t manner , thatthe People ' s Charter was the

    only means by which a repeal of the Corn Laws could be obtained , at least such a repeal as would really benefit the people . He was listened to with marked attention , the audience frequently manifesting their approbation of his sentiments by rounds of applause , and concluded his mssterly exposition of the subject amidst the cheers of all present . A vote of thanks was awarded to him with acclamation ; the same to th , e Provost and Magistrate for the use ef tbe hall ; and also one to the Chairman ; after which the meeting separated by giving three enthusiastic cheers for the Charter and no surrender .
