plc an tiie Chartists passed through the centre of the
town, Chat most of the shop windows were closed,
and Sony few of the more timid inhabitants lefhthe
town. ;• Ainpngst the Miiegates the most conspieu
nos were Messrs- O'Connor, Collins, O'Brien, Dr.
Taolor &c.
One of the speakers stated that in Manchester, he'
knew they would hnee . 3oo,ooo men to protect them,
in the vent of any attack on their liberty. They
subserinently determined to hold simultaneous meet
logs, 4niettung on the principle of the protracted
religions meetings in this country. At these meet
ings, sled in the Chartist publications, the following
questions are put to the people :
"Whether they will be prepared al the request of
the Cobvention, to withdraw all sums of money they
may individually or collectively have placed in sav
ings' banks, private banks, or in the hands of any
persortiboatile to their just rights
"Wh'ether, at the same request, they will be pre
pared immediately to convert all their parer into
gold arid silver.?
"W Nether, if the Convention shall determine that
a sacred month will he necessary to prepare the mil.
!tons Id secure thechirrter of their political salvation,
they will firmly resolve to abstain from their labors
duringithet period. as well as front the use of all in
tox teatlng drinks
"Whether, according to their old constitutional
right--Sa right which modern legislators would fain
annifniste—that have prepared themselves with the
arms or freedom, to defend the laws and constitution
-al oral/lieges their ancestors bequeathed to them.
"Whether they will provide themselves with chart
ist canlidates, so as to be pre7sred to propose them
for thc reproseniatives at the next general election;
and &returned by show of hands, such candidates
to consider themselves veritable representatives of
the peiiple—to meet in London at a time hereafter to
to be dtiermined on ?
.-W'hether they will resolve to deal exclusively
with chartists; and in-all cases of persecution rally
arounifand protect all those who may suffer in 'their
righteeps case?"
When the meetings proposed have been held an.
merit ijo the above questions received, and thug the
will the people ascertained, the Convention' will
after tbe Ist ofJuly, "proceed to carry the will of
the people intoexceution."

Female Po/Biciana.—The Chartists seem deter
mined to leave no stone unto+ ned to coniert aH the
females coming within the range of their
influence into political agitators. After the gallant
and manly declaration of Bailie Craig, of Kilmar
nock, however, that, in the event of a hnsttle
ion with the military, the women should be placed
in the front rank, we are afraid that the efforts of
our chartist friends will scarcely be .so successful'
as they anticipate—snore especially as it does not
appear that the female pertain of the community
have had any political rights assigned them in the
People's Character, which they can be called Ipnn
to fight for. Of late great exartions have been
made in part of the suburbs to input the factory girls
lbe universal stiff age movement. Meetings have
been held, and flattering speeches spouted in the
girls' ears by gallants whose only object, of course,
could be to instruct: their "meters and sweethearts,"
as they fondly style them, m a knowledge of social
r.g lite, though most people' will be, inclined to he
hove that the great °bite(' was to ins.ruet them iii
the most approved method rd"hvinging in the rent.,"
On Monday evening a meeting of this kind was
held in the city. the place chosen being the Meth.
,114. Chapel, Sol-cull's Court ; a deputation !mom the
C'uivdrsat Sotrtage A.t.ollation was, in' attendance
—and the object of the locoing was to ',insider the
propriety of .females taking part in the Chartist
movement. There are upwards of 200 girls present,
chiefly lain the factories ; and • Warty. interference
could be drawn front the giggling and other spor•
live indications that prevailed, the majority seemed
to think • the whole affair a capital . joke. A Mr.
Cumming hdvinz taken the chair, addressed his fe
male auditory at some length, amt pointed out the
interest they had in the atta intment of universal
suffrage, and the great Influence they might bring
to bear upon its promotion. On the.conelusinn of his
address, some confusion .was•heard at the door, caus
ed by the attempts et' a number of the rougher sex
to gain admittance to the meeting. After some
"penile vowing," as Abraham Duncan would say,
the question was put to.the.vote—" Admit, or Nol
Adinit"—when it was carried "Admit" nemine
cantredicenfe, admild the universel tittering of the
fair assembly. The .decision being announced,
there rushed into the Chapel.as moiety a congrega
tion of blue bonnets and Packers as ever darkened a
place of worship before. A smile of discontent was
cleat ly observed no many a fair face as one dirty
bonnetted boy after another hastened down the pa.-
sage, amid we will be hold to ea.v Met; rather than

assembly would have abjured the cause of untver
sal suffrage forever. Mr. Tait of Auchinearn now
proceeded to address the meeting, and by way of re
minding them what woman could do, brought to
their reccollection the fall - of Adam, and the des
truction of Troy, instances of woman's power rather
unique, we should think, pa-titularly when the con
sequences that followed are taken into consideration.
Ir. the farther course of his speech, Mr. Tait said
he acknqwledged neither Kings nor Queens, and it
matiererghttle to him whether a girl's name was
Kate, Jean, or Victoria, if she were extravagant.
Several other speakers addressed the meeting, and
a resolution in favour of eecouraging the universal
suffrage movement was ultimately adopted. Thanks
were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting
broke up.—Glasgow Argus.

Lather Ebtuo Vale.—The Chartists held a meet
ing at a low beershop, In this place, known..by the
name of the Cross Keys. It being previously un
derstood, that the meeting was to take place, a large
concourse of people assembled ; and a little alter 8
o'clock, the advent of the" Chartists was made known
by a loud discordant noise, which proceeded from
the assembled mob. Two or three minutes elapsed,
when the chairman of the meeting, -a miner froru a
neighbouring, works, rose and intimated to the
multitude, that a "gentleman," from Loudon,
would have the honour of addressing them in the
English language for a short time; atter which
they would be addressed in the Welsh language by
another "gentleman." We subsequently abort tam
ed that the first named gentleman. was a "Knigiit
of the Thimble ;" the latter, a "Son of Crispin "
It was really very amusing to hear the fellow, alias
gentleman, trom London, attempt to make, what tie
termed a speech ; surely, his hearers never before
heard such barbarous' language; nearly the whole
of his jargon ran on the Anti-Chartist meeting, that
was held at Coalbrook vale, on the Monday previous.
In alluding to a rerhark that was there made, viz:
"That ifV.ncent, the leader of the Chemists, could
succeed in creating a revolt in the Kingdom, he
would be the first to leave it," Thimble rig ex
claimed, that when he considered Vincent's conduct
at Devizes, he felt quite certain as to his future con
duct,- "a man which have bad his life in the great
est danger. I tell you what my friends, it was a
hunc.red to one against Vincent'', life at Devizes;
he was held by the heels over the river; and had it
not been for the Sheriff who wasS Liberal in prin
cipal, he would have been killed, by reaeot of his
being ilirown into the water. I say, it was ten to
one against his life!! His coming on : after this,
my friends, to advocate the people's cause, is suffi

Anthracite Coat —An interesting letter, uOn the
use of Anthracite Coal for Steam Navigation," has
been lately oddressed to John Biddulph, Esq., by
Mr. T. H, Leighton, of Llanelly. Mr. L. explains
the competitive effects of the two-descriptions of coal,
anthracite and bituminous, in combustion; and states .
that, in his opinion, the reason the former has not
superceded the use of the latter, arises from the cir-'
cumstance, "that nomeans have is yet been adopt
ed to assist the effects of anthracite in combustion
of bituminous coal, viz. increasing the draught. A
careful examination of the chemical composition of
the two coals, the different operations of combustion,
and the products of chair combustion must prove
that something more is requisite." Mr. Leighton
continues, .41 suggested some time since, that theap
plication of the vapour of water to an anthracite fire
would remedy the objectionable properties of ti.e
coal, and have had vartuus opportunities of trying
experiments upoti a large scale, with the view of as
certaining the most effective and simplest mode of
application. It appears to prevent decrepitation of
the coal, to carry off the radiation of the heat front

disenchant him from any spell of romance, in o
he may have sillily entangled his imagination. But
with a girl tt is not so. Living at home, with no

Cause and effect then carry on their usual action

an ungrateful and ungracious theme, on which we
desire not to dwell. It frets and worries (and In

amiable in our nature, as only hollow, and 'fugitive,
and illusory. But it is quite another thing to guard
against misapprehensions and mistake—to teach die

Wheri the tyranny and bigotry of the last James

of the most formidable enemies to his dangerm.s

prominent aetors in Argyle's rebellion, and fur ages a

of Campbell, enveloping in a common ruin all who
united their fortunes in the cause of its chiefiaitts.—
The same doom encompassed Sir John Cochrane.—
