SACRED MONTH.
Mr. O'BRIEN moved that a Committee be appointed to
draw up an address, leaving it to the people themselves to
decide whether or not the Sacred Month, should com-
mence oa the 12th August, a nd stating the reasons for so
doing.
Mr. PITKEITHLEY seconded the motion.
Mr. Seeeetemeos was not inclined to come to a re-
consideration of the subject, as it had already been dia-
cussed and decided upon. He considered they would be
worthy of censure if they were to turn round and stultify
themselves by rescinding their votes.
Mr. HETHERINGTON supported Mr. O'Brien's resolution,
because ho thought they ought to pause before they placed
the people in such a situation as he believed the people
were unprepared for, and asking them to turn out, which
he belived the best portion of them would do,
would only be making them victims. He believed
that Mr. O'Brien's proposition of leaving it to
the people themselves, would make those who were up to
the mark eager to turn out, and thus leave them as victims.
Mr. LOWREY would vote for the continuance of the
resolution as it stood at present, as, unless it were kept to,
the honest portion of the Convention would be denounced
and pointed out as traitors.
Dr. FLETCtIER perfectly agreed with Mr. Lowrey that
they were placed in an awkward position. Had- they
shown the least symptom of shuffling, they would have
been lost; at the same time he thought the evidence un-
satisfactory. He thought the evidence should be laid
fairly before the people. His constituents were prepared
for the holiday. He felt it his duty that the facts should
be fairly laid before the country. Let them be firm, but at
the same time honest, and let the people know the truth.
He should vote against this resolution.
Mr. DUNCAN wished to see a plan, showing prac-
tically how this holiday was to be carried into effect. The
people were labouring undue great delusion as to the state
of preparation in which their fellow-countrymen were for
this holiday. The inhabitants of Glasgow never dreamed
that the Convention would rush in such haste to this ulte-
rior measure. They were not at present prepared for it
at Glasgow, notwithstanding it was the centre of agitation.
He imputed no motives to any one, but great delusion had I
been practised on this subject, and those who had sups
ported this resolution should have paused before they came
to a determination, when they saw the opposition offered to
the fixing of this day. They should consider that the safety of
millions depended on their decision on this subject. He
should support the proposition of NIL% O'Brien, for leaving
it to the people themselves, after they should have been
informed of the real state of the case. lie would advise
Mr. O'Brien to allow the day to remain as it was fixed, and
let the burden of forming a plan rest upon the 13 who had
originally fixed that day.
Mr. F. O'Coenvort thought it was ungenerous to attack
him for his unavoidable absence on a former occasion. He
remained with the Convention up to the last moment, and
was obliged to leave to stand his own trial, in obedience to
an order from the Court of Queen's Bench. He differed
from Mr. Duncan as to the responsibility resting on the
original supporters of this measure. It was now the vote
of the Convention, and it was the duty of every Member
of it to do all in his power to give effect to that vete.
The object of the strike was to show the value of labour in
opposition to the value of capital—to test the value of la-
bour, and how could that be done effectually while the
warehouses were full. Although be was in favour of the
principle, although he would 'tot rescind the resolution
passed, yet had he been present he should have opposed the
resolution, because no ()Le could doubt that if they failed
now they would fail for ever; and how could they succeed
unless the strike was general throughout the country. If
they did not strike together the Government would be pre-
pared to ccme upon them, and to make victims of those
who should do so.---( Hear, bear.) It had been
said the working classes were more aristocratical than
other classes ; that those receiving 203. or 303. a
week looked down upon those earnii.g 103. or 125., and
that those again looked down upon those earning only sa.
It would be their duty to endeavour to get those earning
the 205., the 305., and the 10s., to join those earning ss.
who were willing to strike. This vote would terminate
the question one way or other. The Government were
prepared to oppose them by every means; were they pre-
pared by every means to support themselves ? Had their
former orders for a run on the banks and for abstaining from
articles paying duty been obeyed. No. Not one pipe of
tobacco the less had been smoked; and could they then
expect they would obey their orders on this most irnpor-
tent point. The people should force this measure on the
Convention and not the Convention on the people. He
would propose, as an amendment, tbat the Secretary be
directed to summon every member of the Convention for
the 3d of August, to take into consideration ulterior mea-
sures for carrying out universal suffrage, and to impress
upon the delegates the necessity of coming prepared
with instructions from their constituents on this subject.
Mr. JAMES TAYLOR seconded the amendment.
Dr. 11I'Douern, opposed both the motion and the
amendment, because the one went to the rescinding di-
rectly of the resolution, and the other to attain the same
object by indirect means. Many of the delegates bad been
obliged to withdraw on account of the poverty of their
constituents. The country was worn out by agitation
and the Convention was losing credit with the country in
consequence of their frequent postponements.
Mr. CLEAVE said it was incorrect to suppose that any
large portions of the trades had as yet taken these propo-
sitions into consideration, because there had not been time
for collecting them together to consider the subject. It
would take at least six weeks to collect the opinion of the
trades cf London.
Mr. Loveer entered the room during the course of Mr.
Cleave's speech, and was received with loud applause.
Mr. WOLSTENUOLME believed that the country was
universally adopting ulterior measures, and would carry
out every measure recommended bi the Convention, and
if the Convention would lead with firmness the people
would follow.

Mr. DEEGAN saw nothing in Mr. O'Brien's motion
which went to alter the day. Great delusion had existed
on this subject--the country was not prepared, and the
Evidence ought not to be kept back from the people. They
had held out hopes to the people which there was little
probability of being realized—hut they had done so because
those hopes had been held out to them by others. The
only way of testing the propriety of the national holiday
would be for the Convention to dissolve—go to the locali
ties—get the names of those favourable to a national holi-
day, and return with those names to the Convention.—

MORAL. DEMONSTRATION OF
THE CHARTISTS.

STOCKPORT, JULY 21.—This town continues in a very
distracted state, and there is every •probability of an out-
break of the public peace be the Chartists. During the
past week meetings have- been held 'every evening in the
open air, and language-of the most violent and revolu-
tioncry•- character was used by the -speakers, such as
recommending the burningeof the factories (of which we
have an- immense -filiinbeiT the dit:is:iots of property, and
the uprooting of the upper and middle classes of society.
Last night another influmnatcry gathering of the Char-
tists was held, at which upwards of 10,000 persons at-
tended, and the language was, if possible, more direct
and daring than on any preceding meeting. The
people were exhorted immediately to procure fire• arms,
swords, daggers,. &e. of every description. One of the
resolutions adopted was pledging the meethig to a "moral
force" demonstration at tl:e parish church the following
morning, which they stated would be the last time they
would assemble in it, es they intended boldly
to asse t their right of possession, and in' future
hold their public meetings- in •that• church, being public
preiierty. Accordingly, at ten o'clock, long before the
commencement of the service, the best parts of the Church
Were taken possession of, to the exclusion ofthe,eregular
chttreh-goz:rs, "and by the time the clergyman entered the
reading-desk the • Church was crowded to suffocation,
there being upwards of 2,000 Chartists present, many of
whom had not divested themselves of their apron-s, others
were in a state of filthiness, and some were intoxicated.
The occasion, however, passed off with a greater degree of
decorum than was generally expected. The Rev: C.' K.
Prescott, the rector of theparish, performed the whole of
the service. The occasion has given rise to great excite-
re:et in tiie town, the market place, in which the church
is situated, being full of idle people assembled to witness
the egress of the Chartists, es it was known that the
greater part of them were Socialists, and bad never been
in a place of worship before. This state of things has
thrown the more respectable portion of the inhabitants into
the greatest state_of,alarm; and of what will be the result
we have our serious apprehens'ons.— Correspondent ~of the
Standard.—[lf the correspondents are like the paper
itself, our readers will know that about a tenth of the
communication may probably be true.]

Commercial distress is still increasing in Paris.
In the first fortnight of the present month no fewer than
forty-one bankrupts were declared. Of these one was for
a sum of 134,000/. sterling; another for 48,0001 ; four
raore for upwards of 100,000` (4 ONO each. The re-
mainii:g thirty-five were for con'p tratively small sums.

thirty feet from the south shore ; he immediately threw off
his coat and waistcoat, and plunged into the water, and
after some difficulty (oaring to the thickness of the weeds
in that part of the water), succeeded in bringing the body
to shore. It was that of a young woman, and evidently not
more than twenty years of age. Life appeared to be
extinct, but, nevertheless, the boat was hailed from the
receiving-house, and in a few moments Superinten-
dent Williams arrived at the place where the young
womay lay, and putting her into the boat conveyed her to
the receiving-house, where she was put into the hot-bath,
and after at least half an hour's assiduous attention on the
part of Dr. Wooley, the surgeon to the Society, animation
was restored. In a short time, the young woman having
partially recovered, stated that her name was Catherine
Hamden, but she was %ithout friends, and had been out of
service some time; the consequence of which was, that she
had parted with every thing to sustain life, and having gone
without food for two days she saw no alternative but
either to become an abandoned woman or destroy herself,
and she preferred the latter. The youne• woman was af-
terwards taken to St. Margaret's workhouse,' West-
minster.

CORN LAWS.—The present state of the money
market exhibits the lamentable consequences of our Corn.
laws. We have all branches of trade disturbed, and the
most serious calamities inflicted upon tradesmen who
engage in no speculation, and who; by no act Of their own
can prevent the serious losses which such a state as the
money market, arising from the Corn-laws, at- present, in:
is upon them.—Bath Guardian
