out this new plan, he has employed strata-
. gems to produce disturbance and insurrection in
Spain; he has fomented civil war, and been
the real author of the carnage at Barcelona.
That is the summary of the article in the Morn-
ing Chronicle, and no man was ever accused of
more deceit and of greater cowardice and wick-
edness. He is charged with deceiving Spain,
and protracting there all the horrors of war;
with deceiving England, and risking, but for the
good sense of the people, a European war; with
deceiving the Northern Powers, inasmuch as he
wished to make them, unknowingly, the abettors
of his designs on the young QUEEN; and he is
charged, while he sits in his easy chair, or lies
in his down and silk-curtained bed, or paces his
terrace under the security of his own guards—
not braving the war, nor inflamed, by a long flat-
tered ambition, like BONAPARTE—With planning
and promoting the worst of all crimes, sedition,
without a just cause, and civil war amongst a
distinct people. The world can supply no ex-
ample of more complicated treachery and greater
poltroonery.
In any other journal such remarks might be of
trifling importance. They might be described
as the tirade of some ill-informed, rabid demo-
crat, or as the outpourings of some furious, dis-
appointed pretender. But it is generally said that
Lord PALMERSTON writes these articles for the

Chronicle, or causes them to be written. They
are, therefore, Lord PALMERSTON'S charges—who
is perfectly well acquainted with all the secrets
of those transactions—against Louis PHILIPPE.
They are the picture of a statesman painted by
a statesman. They make us acquainted with
the motives of statesmen, and serve to explain
the intemperance of the person over-reached,
for which England has had to suffer, and the
turpitude of the person over-reaching. They
display to us the true character of the men the
people are required almost to worship. Looking
at the indescribable mass of misery, the extol.--
tion, the plunder, the coercion, the innumerable

restraints and punishments the Louts PHILIPPES
inflict on mankind in every age and country, we
doubt whether a more important truth than this
of statesmen being totally unworthy of obe-
dience, confidence, and trust—of their being
some of the worst men in existence, were ever
revealed or discovered.

It is impossible to allow such charges to pass
unnoticed into oblivion. The honour of the
French nation is deeply involved in them. Will
they tolerate being made the instruments, for no
national object, of such treachery and cold-
blooded cruelty? The honour of human nature
is involved in them. Shall moral, religious,
righteous, God-fearing men continue to reve-

rence such an incarnation of wickedness ? All
reflecting and serious persons—all the French na-
tion—must call loudly, and repeatedly for the re-
futation of these charges; for,, if not refuted,
they must, from their own love of good, from
their respect for virtue, :cast off all reverence

... . .
tbr such men. It is a minor matter, but it
deserves to be noted, because it will interest par-
ties, that it will be impossible, as long as these
charges are ascribed without contradiction to
Lord PALMERSTON, and remain unrefuted by
Loris PHILIPPE, that the former should ever
hold an office in our Government while the latter
is on the Throne of France.

COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE

COMPLETE SUFFRAGE CON-
FERENCE.
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—The Chartist Parliament,
which is to relieve Sir Robert Peel and the rest of
her Majesty's Ministers from the cares of Govern-
ment, commenced their sittings this morning in Bir-
mingham ; and certainly a more incongruous and ill-
assorted assembly has seldom met together to effect
the regeneration of mankind—the very praiseworthy
object which these pseudo legislators and philan-
thropists propose to themselves. The Council of the
Conference, who took upon themselves the arrange-
ment of the preliminaries for the meeting, intended
to hold the sittings of the body in the Town Hall ;
but the Commissioners of Birmingham, to whom is
entrusted the care of the building, refused to permit
its appropriation to this use, and the managers of the
exhibition were obliged to collect the " illustrious
strangers" within a building in Newhall-street, lately
occupied by the Mechanics' Institution, for displaying
curiosities in natural history, of a somewhat different,
but assuredly not of a stranger description.
The Conference consists of about 280 representa-
tives from towns and villages in England, Wales,
and Scotland, and the period of the meeting has been
happily chosen, so as not to interfere in the slightest
degree with the progress of the holiday amusements
which belong to the season. The assemblage is made
up of the two rival parties of Complete Suffragists and
Chartists, who are now contending for supremacy ; the
majority, however, consisting of mere nominees and
tools of Feargus O'Connor, who, being the violent, is
of course the stronger party, and who have been elected
as delegates on the distinct understanding that they
consent to no compromise with the " Complete Suf-
frage humbugs," as Mr. Sturge and his friends are
termed by their opponents.
The delegates began to muster about half-past
nine, and shortly after ten o'clock, on the motion of
the Rev. THOMAS SPENCER, of Bath, seconded by
Mr. FRARGUS O'CONNOR,
Joseph Sturge, Esq., was called to the chair,
amidst very general cheering.
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting, detail-
ing the circumstances under which the Council had
been compelled to arrange the meetings of the Con-
ference in the place in which they were then assem-
bled, the Commissioners of the town (a self-elected
body) having refused them the use of the Town-
hall, from the alarm which they felt at the progress
of their peaceful movement. As a proof, however,
that this feeling was not participated in by the repre-
sentatives of the rate-payers, Mr. Sturge read a me-
morial which had been addressed to the Commission-
ers by forty-three members of the Town Council,
praying that the Hall might be granted for the pre-
sent meetings, but their request- had also been re-
fused. He would detain them but a very short time
with a few observations on the position of the Com-
plete Suffrage Union. Both himself and his friends
had been frequently urged by the working classes to
aid them in endeavouring to procure an equality of
political
,rights, but they replied that the name of
Chartism was so identified in the minds of nine-tenths
of the middle classes with the :ideas of violence and
bloodshed, that they could not join them while they
continued to act under this title. For his own part,
however, he believed that there was as large a num-
ber of peaceful men amongst the sincere and honest
Chartists, as in any body of individuals in the king-
dom ; yet he regretted to say that the conduct and
language of some professed friends to the People's
Charter, had given too much occasion for such an
opinion. He held it, however, to he the duty of
all not to be deterred from the bold and uncom-
promising advocacy of just legislation, although they
might condemn the means which some were too ready
to use for its attainment. It was with these views
and under the circumstances he had referred to, that
the Complete Suffrage Union commenced its labours;
and its main endeavours were intended, and had been
directed towards breaking down the prejudices of the
electors and the middle classes, in order that they
might be induced to grant full justice to their unen-
franchised countrymen. This union had been ce-
mented together by a solemn covenant to pursue the
great object which they had in view by just, peace-
ful, legal, and constitutional means, and only such.—
(Cheers.) The success they had already met with
gave good ground to hope that, by forbearance and
argument, they should do much to remove the aliena-
tion which had been so lamentably fostered and in-
creased by the events of the last few years.
Having at the last Conference adopted all the
six points which involved any question of prin-
ciple in what was called " The People's Charter," he
hoped it would have removed at least all feeling of
suspicion towards them from the minds of the true
friends of the people, and he thought on a review of
their proceedings they were entitled to claim credit
for honesty of intention until the contrary was proved
against them; but they were resolved not to be parties
toan
of theirystep3whapteeaveefu
whatever which
principles, or to go furtherhich involved the slightest
violation
in offending the prejudices of those at whose hands
they sought redress, than was called for by a firm
adherence to the claim of full justice for their fellow
men.—(Cheers.) Whilst men in power, professing
Christianity, like Lord John Russell, could be justly
accused, as he was, by Sir Robert Peel, of inviting
one
of their country to
dipoursttiohne obfritbheedctohmemyouunintgy
mtoenarm against another
—wengage by enlisting in a murderous crusade against
the unoffending people of China, and whilst the lead-
ing political journals vied with each other in scurri-
lity and falsehood. he (Mr. Sturge) could not wonder
that some in a different sphere were found to follow
so bad an example.—(Hear, hear.) But such con-
duct was not Christian, and he wished emphatically
to assure that assembly (and, he believed, he spoke
the sentiments of every member of the Complete Suf-
frage Council), that they would never knowingly act
in union with any who recommended or countenanced
violence for the attainment of their objects. After
some further observations in recommendation of
peaceful agitation, and moderation in their language
(which the Chairman doubtless felt to be necessary
from the aspect of the piebald assembly before him),
Mr. Sturge concluded by saying that he would do
his best to act with strict impartiality in the discharge
of his duty as Chairman, and whether they succeeded
or failed in the object they sought to accomplish, he
was persuaded the great principles they advocated
must ultimately prevail, based as they were on the
immutable foundation of truth and justice.—(Cheers.)
Mr.MortGasT having been appointed Secretary, pro-
ceeded to read a list of the delegates whose qualifica-
tions had been sent in and found correct. There was
a second list of delegates who had not conformed to
the regulations prescribed by the Council of the Com-
plete Suffrage Convention ; but as the elections ap-
peared to have been carried bone fide, and that the
errors were rather of a formal than an important na-
ture, the Council proposed that these delegates also
should he received as forming a part of the Confer-
ence. There was a third class who had not presented
proper credentials, or whose returns had been com-
plained against, and the Council proposed that a Com-
mittee should be appointed to whom the claims of t
these parties should be referred.
A lengthened discussion ensued upon this proposi-
tion being put from the chair, several of the dele-
gates contending that all who presented themselves as
the representatives of the various districts should be
received and admitted to take a part in the proceed-
ings, while others argued that they ought to weigh
narrowly the claims of all parties presenting them-
selves; and one delegate hinted that the presence at
the meeting of one person who had not been duly
elected at a public meeting would render all their
proceedings illegal, and subject every one of them to
prosecution. It was finally agreed that the
_claims of
all those persons whose elections were disputed should
be referred to a Committee to be named by the Con-
ference.
Mr. J. H. PARRY then moved the appointment of
a Committee to investigate the claims of the delegates
in list No. 3 (comprising the representatives of six
towns`

Several propositions were made as to the best
mode of selecting the names of the Committee, and
it was at length decided that any delegate present
, and in this way 28 names
were
ni:;ght proposehandedintoantioietherchairman.
The Rev. P. BaEwszEß, a Scotch delegate, handed
in a list of nine names which he had previously pre-
pared, and proposed that they (being all Complete-
Suffrage men) should form the Committee.
Mr. F. O'CoNNoR said, as party spirit was about
to be displayed, he should feel it to be his duty to
move a counter-list, and handed in the names of nine
of his own party.
A very noisy discussion ensued, which lasted till
O'Connor withdrew their lists, and it was agreed that
clock, when Mr. Brewster and Mr.
nearly four o'
the names of the 28 delegates handed in should he
taken indiscriminately, and those nine which had the
1, rgest number of votes, should be constituted the
Coni'mittee.
The :fleeting, which at times was extremely noisy
then adjourned to six o'clock in tha

CORN TRADE I\ riIELAND.-A novel and hazardous
speculation in the coal trade has been carrying on in
Cork market for the last two months. An English
gentleman, named Lyttleton, suddenly made his ap-
pearance at the Corn Exchange, and has been pur-
chasing large quantities of black feeding oats, without
any regard as to quality. This he immediately ships
on board a vessel for London, which he has previously
chartered for the purpose, without putting it through
the (process of kiln-drying! His speculations have,
as yet, been most fortunate, one cargo which he pur-
chased having reached the Thames, from Cork, in the
short space of three days. Should the corn heat
during the voyage, while tho present wet weather
continues, as it must inevitably be in some measure
damp, whien shot from the bags into the hold of the
vessel, the speculation would be ruinous.--Limerick
Chronicle .
