      3 It Dexb . Fbjexds . —I now proceed -with my narrative . Dusdee . —On Tnesday Mr , Duncombe and I arrived at Dundee , about four o ' clock . Here was a text splendid Soiree in the largest chapel that could be . procured ; sad "when Mr . JDnncombe made his appearancelie was loudly andrapturonalj applauded . Mr . Kidd . the principal bnicher in the town , was in lie chair ; and after the esnal liberal sentiments had been proposed , the last of them , " The Northern Star" ws 3 spoken to by a working man , ( whose same I forget ) in most eloquent terms . In Bpeakiiig * f lhe New Plan of Organization , he said , " I ask . ; did any thing more perfect ever come from the pen of man 1 aad is not Mr , Hbbson , the present talented editor of the Star , and compiler of that plan , worthy the confidence of the working classes !"—( Cheers . )

      IViien Mr . Bancombe made his appearanee , he was loudly -cheered ; and after a very long and eloquent review of his Parliamentary conduct , and an avowal of the principles of Chartism , name and all , he resumed his seat amidst several rounds of applause , and waging of hats . I followed ; and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written by way of apology for his non-attendance , my text . This pompons fool declined accepting the invitation , Because lira * to be there ; but 2 promise yon that after the licking I gave him , he will never write my mine again as Ions as he lives . We had a vast number of the middle classes , and many manufacturers present . I enroled in all , in Dundee , 270 members . When we returned to our hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me Jo walk into the Commercial Boom , 'where thtre was a party of seven or eight gentlemen , all of whom had just returned

      from the meeting . . I did accompany him ; and there nei several Tery gentlemanlike intelligent persons , some of them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , who I hare since learned is the best and kindest master in Dundee . I do not know his same . We discnssed the principles of the Charter and u free trade , " till nearly three o ' clock in the morning ; all the young men standing np for the Charter , Tie principles are beginning to find way here . We concluded the morning ' s entertainment , by a bet between the German gentleman and myself : ie betting that upon a dissolution of Parliament , the Whigs would come into power again : I betting that , as Whigs , they wonld not . The wager is , a dinner for the party then present . Mr . Kidd , the chairman , gaTe me £ 1 lor the Executive , and a gentleman , who would not give his name , gaTe me 5 s . for ihe . Executive .

      On Wednesoay morning we proceeded on our way to Aberdeen , Idr . Dnncombe stopping at StonehaTen , fifteen miles from Aberdeen ; "wnile I went on . When I arrived at the coach office there was a large concourse of persons to receive me , but no notice of &dv meeting for that night : the council snpposing thai I should be too much fatigued . However we pat up a bill in Mr , Legge ' s window j and at eight o ' clock we had an excellent meeting in a large chapel , when I spoke at great length and with good effect . 1 « nroTleo > 328 members ; and would nave added all to the ranks had they been apprised of my intention .

      The following day was to be the all-important one—the day of t&b DraccME dehoxstbatios : and when 1 looked ont of my window , to my horror 1 saw that the elemeats were to be against as . It was the only wet day they hare h » d for a long time . It rained incessantly j and great was onr misgiTing . At twelve o ' clock I started , in company with the Teteran Arehy WDonald . in afcaxriage and six , to meet > 3 r . Dnncome : for whom M'Pherson and another excellent fellow of our body had gone early to Stonehaven . When Mr . Dnncombe arrived , one would have imagined that -the Tain , so far from deurring , had invited the Chartista to eome oat j for it was the longest and grandest procession they have ever had . All ihe trades were in fnllregalia .

      When Mr . Dnncombe met the procession , he would have the carnage opened ; and there he stood like a dripping sxatue the whole way . . He was highly and justly delighted with his Teeeption . It was our intention to have proceeded to the Links , a ? nsual , but ihe day was so wet , we stopped in the Market-place ; when oar old and rained friend , Jl'Pberson , was called to the chair : and oar not Iks rained friend , Legge , proposed an address , which he read to Mr . Dnncombe , and to whieh Mr . Duncombe replied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of his hearers .. I was then to speak ; and as all previous speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rejoiced at it , and for this simple reason : had it been fine , the pres 3 wonld hav * aitribnied theattendaneeio sightseeing-curiosity ; whereas as it was wet , none but iron Chartists would come ( rat . Before I communicate the most cheering portion of the intelligence to yon , let me tell you thai it

      did not rain within seven miles of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I haTe since learned ; and it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the three weeks I haTe been on my rambles , we hare only had three wet days : the one that Mr . Dancombe entered Manchester ; again , when he entered Newcastle ; and on Thursday when he entered Aberdeen . This was doubtless to try the mettle of the Chartists . It was too wet to enrol members , or I ghould haTe enlisted 3 , 000 at least ; but I did enrol one that in my humble opinion will give more general satisfaction , than if I had enrolled 10 , 000 others . On our return to the hotel , Mr . Dnncombe said , Now I % member of the National Charier Association ? " I replied , No ; if you haTe not taken ont your card . " u WeU , " said he , " as I am virrnally a member of that body , I should be so actually ; so giro me my card , and fill it np Aberdeen , Oct . 26 ih / ' 1 did so , and he paid me a guinea for it : so

      DITNCOMBE , M . P ., IS ALSO BUNCOMBE , MP ., OF THE NATIONAL

      CHAKTEB ASSOCIATION i ij far the most honourable distinction } in my mind . In the evening we had a grand Soiree . They could oaly get a Hall to hold pocbteks HcyuHiD persons , wiach was inconveniently crowded . They applied Jo a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall , capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which Jhey declare they could have filled . But such a sight would have been too mnch for such jaundiced eyes ; so they refused ns . In Aberdeen , so influential is Chartism , thai M'Pherson beat both parties , by nearly 100 Eujority , for the Commifisionership of Police j and ie now Sib that important office . They do their bnane-s betier than any other people ; and they _ do it without softening down the principle to prejndicepoint . They ' -can rass for every office under the principles , name , and alL

      I attended at the Soiree an hoar before the proper time , and enrolled a number of members ; but it was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly state ihe number until 1 take stock of my wares ; but I should say abont 300 , which , added to 1 , 000 cards that haTe been left at Aberdeen , will make 1 , 428 for that town . Sir . Dnncombe arrived at eight o ' clock , accompanied by M _* Pherson , thB chairman , and was most rapturensly applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had Eome excellent anging , and opened the business with" Scots , wha hae , " Bung by the whole company . I spoke at great length ; and Lowery spoke . Mr . Dcncombe was called upon his legs a second time ,

      to receiTe an address from the female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a Eplendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with hiB arms and crest Tery beautifnlly engraved npon it . The address "was emphatically and feelingly read by a Tery beautiful * nd interesting young woman ; and , when Mr . Duneombe presented himself in full costume , he * as rapturously applauded . He returned thanks in a very excellent and talented speech , shortly after tfhieh we retired , accompanied by Mr . Legge , 'who remained with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told ice that the proceeds arising ont of my Tisit , two Jears ago , had kept the Association in funds np to &e present time .

      On Friday ,-we -were to nave had a public meeting to enrol members j bat , owing to a pledge that I save to the people of Aihroaih , ihaVl "would work * o repay the monies advanced to send delegates to the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to "visit the latter town for that purpose . On Friday morntox , we got np at four o clock , Mr . Dancombe to * tm for Glasgow , and 1 for Montrose , where I iad prcm . Eed to address the people at two o ' clock , in the Thistle Hall . We had a most excellent meeting ; and I can only ay that the people of Montrose expressed

      Untitled Article

      themselves more than delighted . They told me thai I had Bade many converts , and dispelled much prejudice . I enrolled seventy-eight members ; and , had it not been Monday , I would have enrolled two hundred . This town , like many others , complains sadly of " trafficking pedlars . " They have gone far to ruin them ; and the Association did me the honour tossy that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some curious stories at Montrose , aboat money-grubbing ; esough to sicken the honest lecturers . I must say , however , thatiihey Bpoke Tery highly of the Manchester Packer , and Gammage , They say the Packer c * re 3 less about the money than any man they ever heard . These things should be known .

      As 1 was to speak -at Arbroath at eight o clock , I intended proceeding by the Aberdeen mail ; but it was fall , and I "w&b obliged to post it , and did not . arrive till half-past eight . Here the Chartists haTe built a splendid place of their own ; and they filled is . I spoke at great length ; enrolled 200 ; got home at half-past eleven ; dined , and went to bed . On Saturday morning , I started for Dundee . And now for a day ' s work . I addressed the people in their chapel ; but the day being a dreadful one , blowing and raining , it was not filled . However , I had a capital audience ; spoke about an hour ; and was obliged te break off , to start for Leith . I neTer was out on a worse day . Within 300 yards of the

      Arbroath , station lay the Defiance of London , a wreck with a valuable general cargo ; the ship being ready to be dashed to pieces when the tide comes in . In crossing from the county of Fife , to Newhaven , we had to go a considerable distance to the steamer in Email boats ; and the screams of the women , and the running to the side , when a swell , like a mountain , seared ns , threatening to swallow us all np , were most terrific The landing and embarking at thi 3 important point is most awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman observed in my hearing , it will remain so , nntil a Lord Lieutenant , two or three Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a dozen of lawyers are drowned . Then , but not till then , will it be remedied .

      I arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Leith at seven , when , in consequence of the early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the sbeat meeting , as they called it , my audience was not numerous ; but it was good , and Tery attentive . 1 spoke for nearly an hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . I then started for Edinburgh for the meeting in St . Cecilia Hall ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — " Ireland and her wrongs . Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . 1 set to it at once ; and I certainly made a smasher . I could scarcely proceed , so numerous

      were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hais . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave them two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung through the hall , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter as a necessary appendage to Repeal , they bounced np and cheered , aad cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here € 00 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . I addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh ; and had a moBt tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten ' clock ; and got np on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of i * .

      I must now give you a little of the chit ch » t here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Duneombe was got up here by nine ] deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartists , for the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They haTe been hitso hard however , by the failure and expense , about nine pounds at the wrong side , that they are now quarelling among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance is worthy ef especial notice . The Sturgites , who got up the party , tried to enlist the Irishmen ; and , amongst others , sent six cards to a Mr . Connor , & most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It

      was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instantly enclosed his cards to the committee ; and the Irishmen who had bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepence , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . I havs this fact from Mr . Connor himself . Dnncombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed " Completeism " in Scotland . No man will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of u poor Joseph . " He is now a " shepherd without a flock , " taking his wits to Crawfordsbarn , to have a confab with honest Sharman Crawford , to see hew they can make " something out of nothing . " They should remember the old adage : —

      " Ea nihil , nihiljii . " u Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect statiDg one pleasing fact : two hundred hone 3 t Chartists , fifty miles south of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the Duncombe demonstration ; and when they had got within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and ¦ walked the fifty miles . Who note says that chabhe * js dead is ecotlam > ? In fact , my friends , most of those who haTe Tisited Scotland , haTe

      estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse from tie poor people ; and the Scotch being careful of their pence , and email blame to them , the " pedlars" gire Chartism a bad name ; but I declare that there neTer was so much Chartism in Scotland ; but it will not pay for pnfis . I will give you Mr . Duncombe's own words about it . " By Jove , if those who sav Chartism 1 b dead wonld only come to Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What ! are all these Ghartists ? " I tell yon , and you will believe me , that Chartism is able to beat all other urns in Scotland .

      As I long ago predicted , some of the church-Chartists haTe tried to strangle the question of civil rights . Secret letter writing ; undermining ; and applying for the passing of friendly resolutions are practices Tery much in use latterly . But the Scotch are a very far-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by theii old friends , till they see reason to change . I haTe learned many lessons of wisdom since my arriTal here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Dnncombe was a member of our association , 1 thought the cheering would never stop . Your Bincere friend , F £ AB « U 3 O'CONKOB .

      Glasgow . —P . S . —I have only time to say we had a mo 3 t splendid scene in the City Hall . Moir , Paul , and Adams made most admirable speeches , and Mr . DB&combe out-did himself . He gaTe unbounded satisfaction ; and I never beard any man more enthusiastically applauded . The beBt thing that I can say of myself is , that I enrolled

      1 , 585 ! ONB IBOrSAXD FIVE HCMDBED AND EIGHTT-TITE names , and 1 left at half past seven this morning for Dumfries , where I now write , at half-past nine , p . m . Drx ? BiB 3 . —Here we bad a great disappointment . The people took the largest church in the town for this meeting , and signed articles with the committee ; but the priest , one of the rampant non-intrasionists , one M'Kenzie , took off the key , and went out of town , after all the expense was incurred . At the last moment , when the people Tvere all but mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we had an admirable meeting , notwithstanding the NonintruBionist LiberaL I enlisted 160 Chartists , and I am now going to a public supper to enlist more , I am really knocked np ; and nothing bnt Tidd Pratt oonld induce me to persevere .

      GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT ABERDEEN , IN HONO 0 B OF " THE PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNCOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From the moment it was known that Mr . Duneombe was to Tiflit thia city , every Chartist set to work ia erder to make his reception in some degree commensurate with the great services he baa , is and out of Parliament , rendered t » the people ; On the evening previous to the procession Mr . O'Connor arriTed with the sooth mail , and was reserved by a great number of Mb friends in tbat manner in which every old and faithful friend will always be received in the Land of Cakes . Though no notice nor any knowledge of Mr . O Connor's intention to lecture was ksown , yet two hou » after bis arrival he found himself addressing a large audience of the citizens of the north . The meeting was entbnafastic and listened with delight upwards of two hours to their f&itbful champion and attached friend . At the close of the lecture a great number parchased cards of the NatloM&l Association .

      THE PROCESSION—GREAT MEETING , &C . At an early honr on Thursday , the day on which Mr . Duneombe was to enter the capital of the north , extraordinary excitement was obsenrable on all sides . At about twenty minutes past ten , the different trades took np their respective stations , according to their priority in tbe Incorporation , or the order in which they had ballotted to walk . At eleTtin precisely , the procession , on the agreed-upon sound of the bogle , started ; and notwithstanding about this time the morning , thengb previously fair , suddenly changed to a severe rain , which continued with nnebated violence for three hours , yet , glorious to say , not one left the procession until they had fairly accomplished their duty , by conveying Mr . Duncombe after the meeting , to his hotel .

      Mr . Dancombe arrived at StonebsTen on Wednesday , the 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles south of Aberdeen , at which place s deputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday morning . Accordingly , Mr . James M'Pherson and Mr . Robert Macintosh , the Chairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for that purpose , and arrived at the Bridge of Dee , two miles from town , abont one o ' clock , p . m ., as was appointed . Agreeable ; to prevlona arrafigement , the procession was to meet Mr . Dancombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , within a mile and a half of town , where , on bis arrival ,

      he and bis friends were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by six bay horses , with postillions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing hunting caps , with gold tsstels . When the parties met , Mr . Dancombe stept Into the carriage , accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Phersin and Macintosh . On tbe first appearance ef Mr . Duncombe in the carriage , a loud and pealing thunder of cheers ran along tbe dense procession of congregated thousands vibrating and thrilling upon the ear in awfnl grandeur , while the eye feasted upon one of tbe most imposing spectacles ever presented in our city .

      As soon as the Marshals had completed their preliminary arrangements , nnder tbe superintendence of Mr . James Thomson , the dense mass fell into line on each side , leaving an open space in tbe centre for Mr . Doncombe ' a carriage to pass , and in which he stood on the seat , receiving tbe warm congratulations of a warmhearted peopla As he reached the top of the precession , the bugles sounded a halt , and the several trades , according to arrangement , marched past tbe carriage , and proceeded it the following order : —

By the time the procession reached the town , notwithstanding the rain which fell heavily , it had swelled to a vast amount . All the way from the Water House , as far as the eye could could reach down Union-utreet , presented one vast moving mass . The windows and balconies were occupied by the aristocracy of Aberdeen , many of whom cheered , and a profusion of handkerchiefs wera to be seen waving from tbe snow-white hands of some of the ladies who ocoupied the windows and balconies . The procession

      moved down Unien-street , St . Nicolas-street , Georgestreet , St . Paul's-street , Gallowgate , Broad-street , to tbe Market Cross , where the meeting was to be held . Tbe procession : was intended to proceed to the great natural amphitheatre at tbe terminus of the Caledonian race course , but the inolemenoy of the weather prevented it . The carriage , with Mr . Duncombe and those who were to take part , drew up west of the Cross , in the spacious Market Square ; and though several thousands had gone to the first intended place of meeting , not knowing bat tbe procession was to proceed also , yet the Great Square presented one living mass of men and women , such as had seldom , if ever , graced it before .

      Mr . M'Pherson , comb-manufacturer , and commissioner of police , was called to the chair , who opened the meeting by a gentlemanly and appropriate speech , tuoh as always distinguishes this friend of freedom when called on to appear in that capacity . He intro ^ duced Mr . John Legge , who spoke at considerable length in compliment of Mr . Dancombe and the cause he had so nobly espoused , aud promised that his fellow citizens would never be wanting to aid Mr . D . in his noble work . He conclnded by moving an excellent ad ' dress to Mr . Dancombe , embodying the sentiments of tha Inhabitants in reference to Mr . D . ' s great exertions , in the cause of freedom . The address was seconded by Mr . M'Intosh in a neat and appropriate speech , and was unanimously agreed to .

      Mr . Dcncombe then addressed the meeting ; when he rose the' cheering was unbounded . Huzza aCter huzz 3 , which literally made the houses shake , succeeded each otber in repeated succession , for at least ten minutes . After which he delivered a brief bat patriotic Bnd - statesman-like spsech , and concluded amidst-a volley of Northern hwsEia . Mr . O'Connor then addreisse < 4 the assembled theusands for a considerable time , ib bis usual eloquent and convincing stile . He was rapturously cheered . After three , cheers for Dancombe repeated three times , the procession accompanied Mr . D . to bis hotel , and after giving him three cheers separated to their , different homes , to prepare for the soiree .

      Thus ended one of those meetings so much calculated to leave an impression on the enemies of freedom that something is wrong ; for the working classes would not stand below the drizzling rain for four hours had they not ft cause ; and it also shews that the people ate net indifferent to those -who stand forward to defend tbe principles and sustain tbe rights of the working classes .

      THE FESTITAL . The Festival was holden in the Temperance Saloon , a place capable of containing 1 , 600 persons , at eight o'clock , p . m . ; and though the doors were not to be opened till seven , there was a large crowd seeking admission before six ; and long before the hour of meeting the hall was crammed in every part . Mr . O'Connor entered tbe Saloon about seven o ' clock , when be was loudly applauded , and immediately commenced disposing of the National Association cards , which he did to a considerable extent . At precisely eight o ' clock Mr . Dancombe entered the meeting along with Mr . M'Pherson and some other friends . Immediately on

      Mr . Doncombe's entrance ints the hall the whole audience stood up . and cheered most lustily ; the splendid band , under the able superintendence of Mr . Hunter , playing "See ; the conquering hero comes . " On his ascending the platform , the cheering was actually deafening . After the cheering bad subsided Mr . M'Paersan took the chair * and opened tbe meeting in an excellent address , characterised for its Blr&ightfoivud democratic sentiments , and highly complimentary to Mr . Duncombe . After -which he introduced Mr . Henry to speak to tbe sentiment : " The People , the legitimate source of power , " which he did at considerable length and with good effect . He resumed his seat amidst general cheering . ,

      The Chairman then introduced Mr . A . M'DonaID to speak to " the Charter . " Mr . M'Donald , in the course of his address , urged onion and energy in the new National Association , and concluded an excellent speech , amidst the cheers of his hearers . The CHairman then gava as a sentiment : " Mr . Duncombe and Reform of Parliament . " Mr . Duncombe , on rising , was ajain greeted with thunders of applause . Mr . D . made an excellent speech . He particularly dwelt on the necessity of union . He condemned the Complete Suffragists for not haying joined the Chartists when they adopted their creedprofessed himself a firm supporter of the Charter , name and all . Mr . D . resumed bis seat , amidst the most tremendous applause we ever beard .

      Two of oar Chartist females then presented a beautiful address to Mr . Duncombe , and an exquisitely wrought tartan plaid , to which was affixed a splendid silver brooch , with the following motto : — " Presented to T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M . P ., by the female Cha * tists of Aberdeen as a token of their esteem for bis talented exertions in the cause of freedom . Ootober , 26 tb , 1843 . " In the centre of the brooch was a beautiful star , npon which was engraved the Scotch Thistle , the -whole surmounted by Mr . Duncombe's crest : Tbe brooch was made by Wm . Robinson , a sterling Chartist . , Mr . Duncom » k again addressed the meeting , altar which he resumed bis seat wrapped in his plaid , amidst the waving ot bats and handkerchiefs , and cries of "Long live Dancombe . " . . ti . with

      DUBLIN . —Th » Irish Universal Suffrage Aasaciation held their usual weekly Meeting ou Sunday last , at their Rooms , No . | 14 , North Anne-street ? Mr . Patrick Rafter , in the chair ; Mr . H . Dyotft r Secretary . Mr . Dyott haying read the minutes of the last meeting , and the rules and objects of the Sooiaty , and also a letter from Mr . John Lowery , of Enett , coHBty of Mayo . Mr , O'Higgins rose , and said , he wished to postpone the motion of which he had given notice on the previous Sunday ; and in its stead give notice of a motion of more immediate and pressing importance . ^ The motion which he should submit to the consideration of the Society

      was one of a very conciliatory nature —( cheers ) . Most of his fellow-citizens jwere acquainted with the fact , that he , ( Mr . O'Higgioa ) had from his firat step in politics to the present hour laboured to effect a good understanding between the ^ reat bulk of the English people and the Irish . Pitt and Castlereagh succeeded ia effecting an . Oligarchical Union between the English and Irish oppressors of the people ; and he was sorry to repeat what they had sooften heard before , that some great leaders of the Irish people , whom he should not now name , followed in the wake of Pitt and Castlereagh , by using all their powerful eloquence and great influence to- make the people of Ireland believe ! that the English people were the enemies of the Irish and their religion .

      This was just what Pitt and Castlereagh sought to effect ; they succeeded in forming a cordial union of English and Irish tyrants , but they failed to establish religious and national hatred between the oppressed-people of both countries . This was reserved for other parties . He regretted to- say that the labours of a certain individual had been successful , to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in fact , the great bulk of whom , now believe that the English working people hate them and their religion to such a degree that they would willingly come over here at the bidding of any Minister , Whig or Tory , and help him to out the throats of the Irish Catholic priests . Thus that feeling of hatred and animosity which Pitt and

      Castlereagh failed to bring ] about , has been effected by the great advocate of civil and religious liberty—( hear , hear ) . The notion { which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in short a cordial union , between the English and the Irish people . The motion he now gave notice of was to the following effect : — " Conciliation : between Daniel O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor , in a proposed amicable discussion in the Conciliation Hall . —That in order to % ake the Conciliation Hall be in reality that which it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called upon no longer to retard the progress of the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 . 500 , 000 inhabitants of Great

      Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Union , by reason of some private pique or personal quarrel , between himself and Mr . Feargus O'Connor . That in order to overthrow tyranny in England and Ireland , a cordial union Bhould be effected between the working classes of both countries ; and in order to effect this most desirable Object it is Mr . O'Connell ' s bounden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly and amicable discussion of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and ; prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their disputes and differences en the altar of their common country . " Hi ( Mr . O'H . ) did not know Mr . O'Connor bo well or so long as he knew Mr . O'Connell ; yet

      he would stake his life upon it , that in order to effect so glorious an object as that contemplated in tbe motion of whioh he hadigiven notice , Mr . OConnor would cheerfully forgive all injuries which he has suffered at the hands of Mr . O'Connell —( cheers ) . Mr . Thomas Ford said , aa a Meathman , it would do his heart good to see these two great men make up their quarrel for the sake of the country . Mr . John Lynham said that he also was a Meathman , a labourer ; and though he had but little to spare , he would give a months' wages , if he were to live on one meal a day to see the j unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell made up . Mr . Bergin did not know what was meant by Conciliation unleBa it vraa to join cordially fox the interests of our country . { Why does Mr . O'Connell eall upon others to bury in j oblivion all old disputes , while he himself never seta us the example ?—tfaear ) Mr . William Woodward said that he had for some

      time past contemplated a motion something like that which was read by Mr . Q'Higgins . Conciliation Hall , was the proper plaoe to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of any injury or injustice done by Mr . O'Connor to Mr . O'Connell ; and even if he had injured him surely Mr . O'Connell , reads the Lord ' s prayer!—( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Dyott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion ; but he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . Mr . Henry Clark said that he highly approved of the motion . It was well-timed , and if carried into operation would produce an effect even on present affairs in whioh Mr . O'Connell was interested—( hear , { hear ) . He concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in the Daily and Weekly Freeman ' s Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr . Bergin was called to the chair , and the thanks of the meeting having been given to Mr . Rafter , they adjourned till next Sunday at one o clock . i

      HOLiYIPIBTH . —Important Mektin * and progress of Chabtish . —The inhabitants of Holmfirth have been favoured with a visit from Dr .

The Doctor gave the Anti-Corn Law , ' truck , and devil ' s dust manufacturers , a Bevere castigation , from the effects of which they are not likely for some time to recover , and concluded an excellent address amidst loud applause . After his address , tbe memorial , which has been so triumphantly carried at Hadderafield , Bradford , Sic ., was put to the meeting and carried almost unanimously . Although one of the League cried out "lift np your hands free traders , " only six hands were held up against the memorial ;

      though there could be no less than seven hundred persons present . After the memorial was carried , Mr . Win . Cunningham rose to move the resolution , which was adopted at Huddersfield , in support of whioh ha showed that the working classes had ever , struggled for the protection of labour . Mr . C . lashed the local secretary , of the League , who had volunteered his Bervices in ] the yeomanry cavairy to cut down the people if they dared to complain , and concluded by moving the resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Haddock , land oarried unanimously . The chairman said , " you' are all Chartists here ;" which was received with loud cheers and clapping of hands . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and another to Dr . Sleigh ; the meeting then dissolved . i
