NATIONAL CONVENTION.
(YESTERDAY.)

The Rev. Mr. JAmEs TAYLOR, Unitarian Clergy-
man, Delegate from Rochdale; in the Chair.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Letters were read from Mr. Vincent, who pre-
mised his letter by stating that he would not trouble
the Convention with any detail of the Tory outbreak at
Devizes, had not he seen, in nearly all the Papers, the
most prejudiced accounts of that proceeding, with the
exception of The Sun, which had given a very impartial
account of the affair. All had misrepresented it. Mr.
V.ncent's letter then went on to give an elaborate de-
scription of the violence and ruffianism of the Tory Aris-
tocracy in that place—from Gosport, from .Kinross,
from Leith, and other places, with descriptions of meet-
ings held to support the Convention.

SECESSIONOF THE BIRMINGHAM DELEGATES.

Dr. TAYLOR brought forward his motion, " that a
deputation should be sent to'Birmingham to confer with
the Provisional Committee there, for the purpose of
taking effectual means to elect new Delegates to reprez
sent the people of Birmingham in the General Conven-
tion,and that thirty pounds be entrusted to Mr. Eames,
the Treasurer of that Committee, towards organising
the agitation of the neighbouring counties, which had
been neglected by Messrs. Salt, Hadly, and Douglas,
as Missionaries from the Convention." He said inbringing
forward the present motion, he was in a much better po-
sition to carry the object of his resolution, with the full
accordance of the meeting, than when last he
had the unpleasant duty to notice the conduct
o fthe gentlemen who represented the people of Bir-
mingham in the Convention. Then he had for his au-
thority only the private letters of individuals who were
sought to be lessened in the eyes of the Convention by
gentlemen of that body, for that they were unknown to
te individuals who sought to so lessen them. Now it
was quite in the other way, and while saying it was so,
he must take leave to state that he did impute nothingbut
a willingness to remove every subject of disunion from
among the Members of the Convention to those gentle-,
men who, on that occasion, stood up to defend the
characters of .Messrs. Salt, Hadley, and Douglas.—
( Hear, hear, hear.) But as those gentlemen
would now see, from what had occurr:d in Bir-
mingham during the last week, and from
which they would be convinced of what they
formerly doubted—(Hear, hear)—namely, that the
people of Birmingham were dissatisfied at the conduct
of their representatives, he did feel he would have
little difficulty in removing any obstacles that remained
in their minds towards pursuing some definite line of
conduct which would insure to the Convention a safety
from any ill effects that might result from the defection
of those persons.—( Hear, hear.) No matter how fas-
tidious the gentlemen might be who had opposed his
going down to Birmingham on what they considered in-
sufficient grounds, they could not now object to lend-
ing him their assistance when they knew that the conduct
of their Delegates had been discussed by the people of
Birmingham themselves, and that the discussion led
to 'a vote of the most unqualified condemnation.—
( Hear, hear.) No persons acting as these gentlemen
were supposed to be acting, for the benefit of countless
thousands, would conduct themselves as they had
done without incurring the censure of those whom they
misrepresented.—(Cheers.) Their conduct was un-
just to their fellow-citizens, unjust to the country at
large, and unjust to the body to which they pretended
to belong.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was stated
by some of the Journals in the interest of the working
classes, that he was interested in his opposition to
Mr. Dough's, and that he took every means to misin-

terpret the actions of that gentleman ; but when he
came to dissect those charges before the great meeting
on Wednesday, one and all accorded to him
(Dr. Taylor) the full meed of their approbation
for the manner in which he had all along acted in re-
gard to Mr. Douglas.—( Hear, licar.) He would ac-
knowledge that Mr. Douglas was held in the highest
estimation by a great number of persons, but it was
only for his very great talents and cleverness—and in
his resignation, as well as those of the other two per-
sons, the people of Birmingham had expressed great sor-
row. Dr. Taylor then went over an account of his
proceedings at Birmingham, at the meetings which were
there held on Monday and on Wednesday last. During
the recital of these particulars he remarked on the
conduct of the seceding Delegates in strong and im-
passioned language. He then continued—lf the
writer of an article in one of the daily Papers
had seen the unanimous determination which had been
.expressed at the meeting of Wednesday, to uphold their
rights, notwithstanding the defection of the three De-
legates, he would be very loth to maintain the position
which he set forth, namely, that the Convention was
about dissolving, it, consequence of the three Birming-
ham Delegates withdrawing.—(Hear, hear.) The con-
trary is the fact, never were they so strong as at pre-
sent, for the desertion of those men had acquired for
them the increased confidence of the people at large.—
(Hear and cheers.) It was universally felt that the
absence of those individuals would remove a drag-
chain from off the machine, which would enable the
Con% elation to act with more facility, and unanimity.
He (Dr. Taylor) was one of many who were glad that
Mr. Douglas was removed from their councils, because
he never ceased opposing any measure which would
expedite the cause of the people. In their desertion they
were far worse than the Whigs, inasmuch as that they
plainly implied to the Government that we were a body
of persons who were not only not worthy of public confi-
dence, but that by our acts we ought to come under
the operation of some persecuting enactment, in order
that we may be annihilated.—(Hear, hear.) But what
could be said of those men when it was known that
they had accepted the power for which they always
agitated. Had they not been made Aldermen, and
Registrars, and Town Councillors?—(Hear.) Had
they not obtained a Corporation as they desired ?
And well did the Whigs know how much of improve-
ment in the institutions, of the country would answer
these gentlemen, when they granted to them a Corpo-

ration against the wishes of the people of Birmingham,
who knew well enough that it would not bring any be-
nefit to their town. Aye, Mr. O'Connor behind him

said they gained taxation by it. To be sure they did ;
but this was an Irish gain.—(Hear, and laughter.)
Nothing could be more illustrative of the bad conduct

of these persons than that, after having the money of
the_ people voted to them by the Convention in their

pockets for five weeks, they returned it, and said
that they ,had not time to do the duty which
they had undertaken to do.—(Hear, and shame.)
What was the consequence of this culpable neglect of
duty ? Why, that now on the ere of presentation their
petition will be short of 10,000 signatures, which could
be obtained in Birmingham and its neighbourhood, in
addition to those already obtained, if those gentlemen
had only acted aohey should have done.—(Bear, and
Shame.) Dr. Taylor continued to impress on the
Convention the great necessity there existed for speedy
and efficacious measures being adopted to remedy the
pernicious effects of the conduct of Messrs. Salt,
Hadley, and Douglas, to lay the foundation of which he
had been instrumental in forming a Committee of a
provisional nature, whose duty would be to await
the result of the meeting of the Council on last
evening ; upon knowing which they would take
measures to get up meetings on Friday and Saturday to
obtain the manifestation of public opinion on the fittest
persons to be elected. Among the many efficient per-
sons whom he bad consulted with in Birmingham, none
was of more use to him than Mr. Donaldson, a person
who was universally esteemed for his services to the cause

de-
voted to the interest of Ireland, and at the head of the
was ever ready to stand forward in the foremost ranks
where freedom was sought to be attacked. Another
individual whom Mr. Collins had introduced to him was
Mr. Eames, an old and esteemed veteran in the
ranks of Radicalism. Dr. Taylor, after being called
to time by the Chairman, said be would only
task their patience for a few minutes longer.—(Hear,
hear.) But before he did sit down, he said that he
should go down to Birmingham on Monday, no matter
what the decision of the Convention was. His reason
for doing so was this, that he knew it 'would be tried by
the Women's Association in that place to induce the
people to again return Mr. Salt. This, he must say, said
a great deal for that gentleman's character, but it would
also bear testimony to the lasting fidelity with which
women can, no matter what obstacles may come in
their way, endure those feelings of friendship and
esteem for individuals whom they have been taught to
look up to as benefactors.—(Hear, and loud cheers.)
His business would be to dissuade these high principled
women from acting in this manner, for no matter how
high a person was to be venerated, the women of Bir-
mingham ought not to act in a manner that might com-
promise the safety of their fathers, their brothers, their
children, or their husbands.—(Hear and cheers.) He
would again deplore the manner in which they were
treated by the Birmingham Delegates, particularly Mr.
Douglas, who, no matter how much he respected him
for his talent and acquirements, he (Dr. Taylor)
would not allow him to precipitate him to the scaf-
fold which be was seeking to erect for him and the other
members of the Convention.—(Hear and cheers.)
Mr. PITKEITIILEY moved the previous question.
Mr. DUNCAN seconded Mr. Pitkcithley s motion.
Mr. COLLINS, a Birmingham Delegate, was placed in
such a peculiar position that he could scarcely ex-
press an opinion without incurring blame from one
party or the other. He did think that the conduct of
the Delegates who had resigned was guided by the
purest principle. On the other hand he knew as well

as Dr. Taylor that the great masses of that town and
re7ghbourhood were most enthusiastic in their determi-
nation to stand by the Convention. He would say that
in regard to that part of' Dr. Taylor's address which
alluded to the appointment of Mr. Eames as Treasurer
to the Birmingham district, he (Mr. C.) was of opi-
nion that Mr. Eames was, from old age and infirmity, in-
capacitated to act in an efficient manner for the interest
of the people. He would support Mr. Pitkeithley's mo-
tion from his knowledge that it would be better to
leave the adjustment of their differences to the people
themselves.—(Hear.)
Mr. O'CONNOR combated the arguments which Mr.
Collins brought forward. Ile said, was not the age of
Mr. Eames the very reason that should induce them to
give him the more honour, especially as that gentleman
had spent a long life in advocacy of the principles of
liberty ?—(Hear, hear.) Was it not extraordinary that
Mr. Collins should bring such a charge as old age
against a person who ever had been foremost in the good
cause of the people ?—(Loud cheers.) The same rea-
son for appointing Delegates in room. of Mr. Cobbett
and Dr. Wade did not exist with regard to Birming-
ham, Nottingham, and Mansfield ; and the places
which Dr. Wade and' Mr. Cobbett renresented were
well represented by Mr. Smart and Mr. Skesington.
—(Hear.) Besides, when they recollected that Bir-
mingham had sent more signatures to the petition than
any other place—that it had contributed more money to
the National Rent than any other town—that it had paid
to its Delegates thirty pounds a week for their attend-
ance in London—yes ; it allowed its six Delegates six
pounds per day, and a pretty return some of them
made for this liberality by betraying the trust reposed
in them by their fellow-citizens. When all these
motives were fairly considered, would any one be
.disposed'to differ with Dr. Taylor in the propriety of
sending down some of their body to take part in the
election of new Delegates ?—(Hear, hear.) He entirely
disapproved of Mr. Pitkeithley's wishing the Convention
to give effect to a former resolution of the body which
empowered a delegation to proceed to Ireland in order
to disabuse that people of their strange notion with re-
gard to the Chartists.--(Hear.) He (Mr. O'Connor)
thought that just now would be a most infelicitous time
for trying that experiment.—(Hear, hear.) The
Irish were now taken up with a question which
to them was of a momentous nature.--(Hear.) No
matter how much it partook of the nature of some of
the clap-trap objects which many of the late Irish
questions had partaken of, yet it was at present a ques-
tion of such interest that nothing else could be intro-
duced to the notice of that people with any chance of
obtaining an attentive consideration.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. O'Connor proceeded to show up the conduct of the
seceding Members of the Birmingham Delegation in
very strong language, and concluded by stating that be
fully accorded in all the measures taken by Dr. Taylor
on this very important subject.
Mr. Busse), Dr. Fletcher, Mr. Neesom, and Dr.
M'Douall supported Dr. Taylor's motion.
Mr. RooElls said that notwithstanding Dr.M'Douall's
assertion, people of property in many instances
were found to sacrifice more to liberty than persons who
were merely belonging to the working classes—(Hear,
hear)—and when the struggle should come he would tell
Dr. M'Douall that to the people of property would its
success be attributed.—( Hear.) He Mr. Rogers
thought that the Birmingham Delegates had long made
up their mind to desert the Convention. They only
laid hold of the report of the Crown and Anchor meeting
as an excuse for such desertion. He would think it
advisable to send down to Birmingham some person to
see that the Convention was not misrepresented in that
place by its enemies.—( Hear, hear.) It was necessary
that the Convention should have the people of Birming-
ham with them, from the great influence that district had
lately possessed in political matters. He was sure that this
was not necessary for the sake of the Convention itself,
for they had yet the full confidence of that influential
people, but in order to set the mind of the public at
ease as to what effect the desertion of Messrs. Salt,
Hadley, or Douglas have bad on the people of Bir-
mingham.—(Hear, and cheers.)
Mr. DUNCAN withdrew his opposition to Dr. Tay-
lor's resolution.

Mr. SANKEY would feel happy if it could be possible
that Messrs. Salt and Hadley, for whom he entertained
the highest respect, would again get an opportunity
of re-considering their resolution of withdrawing
from the Convention. He did think it necessary
that the part of Dr. Taylor's resolution, which
empowered the sending down of Delegates to Bir-
mingham to agitate the neighbourhoo should be
so modified as to prevent the Convention from being
identified with the acts of those Delegates. However,
he would feel the utmost reluctance at advising any-
thing which, might not accord with the success of their
cause.—( Hear.)
Mr. CARPENTER said, that although he intended to
oppose Dr. Taylor's motion, lie must now give it his
hearty concurrenac. He was led to change his opinion
from the lucid and impressive speech of Mr. 13ussey,
who had completely enlightened him on the real state of
the case between the seceding Delegates and their con-
stituents.—(Hear, and cheers.) While stating his cor-
dial co-operation with the resolution, he could not for-
bear saying, that no matter how much it was to be
regretted that these persons had deserted them, he
would not forbear to mention that no circumstances
ought to compel them to adopt a line of conduct which
sought to impugn the actions of the other Deligates in
the Convention.—(Hear; hear.) Ho never had any
opinion of Mr. Douglas as a Radical, and in what he
thought of him, he was not disappointed by his late
conduct.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Mr. SMART said the Birmingham Delegates were
well away from them. From the first day, he thought
the conduct of Messrs. Hadley and Douglas was such as
to disappoint him as to their efficiency.—(Hear.)

Mr. CLEAVE said that Mr. O'Connor was under a
mistake when he attributed to the Birmingham
petition the largest number of signatures of any
other petition that had been sent in for presen-
tation. If that petition was dissected it would
be found that to it was appended the signatures
of persons from some of the most remote districts of
Scotland. Mr. Cleave then went on to address the
Convention on the impropriety of Dr. M'Douall and
others, who, he said, seemed tamake it a point to decry
persons of property in that Convention, for any senti-
ments which they may express with regard to questions
which involve the peace and happiness of the country.
He then gave many reasons for dissenting from the pro-
posed mission to Birmingham, and concluded by saying
that he would vote for the amendment.
Mr. B. O'BRIEN—From the very reasons that Mr.
Cleave adduced in favour of not sending the Deputies
to Birmingham, would he come to the conclusion that it
was necessary to do so. As long as Birmingham
should be looked up to as the guiding star of politics,
it was necessary that every means should be taken to
secure it from the attacks of the enemies of the people.
He was one of those who did think it was unwise to keep
up the opinion that Birmingham ought to be the cyno-
sure of everything that tends to direct the country i■
its movements towards freedom. When lately down i■
the South he found that the report of the defect►on of the
Birmingham Delegates was of much injury to their
cause.—( Hear.) It would be of the utmost necessity
that the people at large should have a knowledge of the
conduct of those Delegates Messrs. Salt and Hadley, Mr.
O'Brien thought, were actuated in what they had done
by weakness ; but as to Mr. Douglas, his conduct from
the beginning showed that Ise fully intended to mar the
objects of the Convention, and to render it disreputable
in the eyes of the country. Mr. O'Brien then recapi-
tulated many of Mr. Douglas's acts while attending the
Convention, in proof of his opinion, and concluded his
remarks by stating, as another reason for sending the
Deputation to Birmingham, that it would give an op-
portunity to two of the seceding Delegates to get re-
elected by the people of Birmingham. He would sup-
port Dr. Taylor's motion.

Mr. MARSDEN-Dr, M'Douall did not deserve the
reprehension which had been dealt out to him by Messrs.
Rogers and Cleave. Dr. M'Douall only insisted that
the possessors of property universally opposed the la-
bouring classes. The people of Lancashire were
heartily glad of the resignation of the Birmingham
men, who were guilty of not only deceit to the people,
but also of black ingratitude, by taking one pound per
day for their attendance at the Convention, which
attendance comprised about six days in every thirty
which had elapsed since they commenced their labours
in London. He (Mr. Marsden) was asked in the
country what he thought of those Birmingham gentry ?
His answer was that no matter what. he thought of two
of them, his opinion of Mr. Douglas was " that he was
a clear-headed rascal."—(Chettrs.)
After two amendments (one of which not having a
seconder, fell to the ground), had been discussed,
Dr. TAYLOR replied,
After which the resolution and amendment wene put,
when the resolution of Dr. Taylor was carried by a ma-
jority of nine.

A. vote of censure, proposed by Mr. Carpenter, on
the ccnduct of the Birmingham Delegates for resigning,
their cnly excuse being the conduct of members at a
public meeting, the report of which they had from an
interested and prejudiced Newspaper, was met by an
amendment of Mr. O'Connor, proposing that no further
notice should be taken of those persons.
The amendment was carried by a majority of 'six.
DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, M.P.

A resolution was passed rescinding a former resolu-
tion of the Convention accepting the offer of the above
gentleman made through Dr. Wade.
Some other business remaining on the notice• book, at
a quarter past five o'clock, it was carried unanimously
that it should be postponed until to-morrow. When
this was disposed of the usual vote of thanks was passed
to the Omit-man, and the meeting dissolved.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Whi!e I have to thank you for the general
fairness of the report of my speech, as connected with
tl.e Crisis, I take leave to observe that my object has
been much mistaken. I had no desire whatever to iden-
tify the Convention with the Tories, though, as I stated
in my reply, I am not so afraid of them as some Inlet;
be, as I am confident we should soon oblige them to
grant the petition, &c. Ido not, however, wonder at.
the view taken in your leading article, as such was the,
feeling of many of the members of the Convention—at
least they were afraid it might be so interpreted—and it
was under these circumstances I consented to withdraw-
the address.

I send you a copy of that address, and you will per—
ceive at once, on reading it, that it has nothing int
common with the Tories, with the exception of the
proval of the Marquis of Normanby's Administration
in Ireland, which from my acquaintance and connection'
with leading persons of both parties in that counter,
I am inclined to doubt has been productive of any great
good. I know personal animosilies have been increasad
and he tone of soniety disorganized, while at the same '
time constitutional rights have been encro:iehed upon,
and this I think a matter of dangerous consequence to
the libcrti:s of the people. I confess I look with a jea-
lous eye upon the proceedings of the local Government
in Ireland, as it has been through its side that the deadlie:Ft
blows have been aimed at British lib.,irty. As to my ideas
respecting popularity-hunting, I ern the last man who
would obj( et to the freest communication between the
more elevated classes of society and tl:ose moving in
j what are ca!lcd the humbler walks. But I may have
my doubts whether the conduct of my Lord Normanby
is to be viewed solely in that light ; at the same time I
stated that in many respects I admired much the manly
bearing of that Noble Lord, both in Jamaica and Ire-
land. Hoping you will excuse the length of this hur-
ried letter,

I am, Sir, very respectfully yours,
W. S. VILLIERS SANKEY.

MEDICAL T REATM EN T.

MPORTANT to CHEMISTS and DRUGGISTS

On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr.
Wakley, M.P., and a respectable Jury, at the Crown
Inn, High-street, Kensington, on view of the body of
Emily Burt, an infant, aged sixteen mouths, whose
death occurred under the following distressing circum-
stances :

Thomas Burt, a journeyman coachmaker, residing
in Gardncr's-buikings, Kensington, deposed that he
was father of the deceased. On the morning of Friday
last he, with his wife and four children, were
sitting at breakfast, and he was informing his wife of
the decease of his mother, which had taken place that
morning, When the deceased child pulled the tea-tray
off the table, and the contents of the teapot fell
over its face and shoulders scalding it very much. He
immediately applied some scraped potAtoeF, and also
some clarified neatsfoot oil, and afterwards he went and
stated the circumstances to a neighbouring chemist,lTll9
gave him some liniment, some plaster, and a draught,
which were applied and administered, from which the
child appeared much better ; but about nine o'clock on
Saturday e; ening his wife sent for him, and on reaching
home he found the deceased in convulsions, and within
five minutes it expired. He 'id not call in any medical
assistance, the change was so sudden. The chemist did
not s2C the deceased.

draught, but that tradesman, and others of his calling,
ought to know that they incurred a fearful responsibility
in undertaking the management of such eases. He had
already directed the constable always to summon drug-
gists as witnesses at inquests on the bodies of persons for
whose maladies they bad undertaken to prescribe. He
now again repeated his instructions to constables to that

ff,:ct: It was a rule of conduct which lie was deter-

mined to observe, and thus the medical examination to
which druggists would be subjected before the fury would
soon prove to the Court whether they Were compe-
tent to undertake the treatment of important diseases,
and acted with judgment and prudence in prescribing
remedies without possessing an efficient knowledge of
, the structure of the human body, and of the maladies
by which it was afflicted. It was one thing to wider-
stand the qualities of drugs and to know how to com-
pound them, and another to comprehend the character
of the complaints for the cure of which they should be ad-
ministered. In the present case a medical practitioner of
skill and ability would have known that the infant required
the most competent and vigilant watching, and not the
less so because it became quiet so soon after the accident,
and appeared to the unprofessional observer to be free
from danger.;The scalding water had fallen over its' entire
face, embracing the whole of the forehead. The injury,
therefore, was close to the brain ; hence the shock to
the nervous system was extreme. Accordingly it was
found that when the child, to the inexperienced eve,
seemed recovering, it was seized with convulsions and
died in a few hours. It was the business of the Court
to inquire into the cause or causes of death, acid as the
absence of proper medical treatment might be one of
them, be was determined in all future cases to adhere
to the ruts which lie had laid down respecting the sum-
moning and examination of prescribing dregists, and
hoped that such a practice would have a beneficial effect
on the public health.
The Jury then returned a verdict of " Accidentally
scalded."
