! REPEALERs AND CHARFIsTs-The Government
having received information that the Chartsts and
Repealers intended to assemble last night in great
numbers at their respective places of meeting the
most extensive preparations were made to prevent
any attempt at disturbing the public peace Mr..
| Superintendent Rutt, with Inspectors Evans Ar
| mold, Carter and Rogers, were on duty with cut
| lasses, in the immediate vicinity of the Black
| friars' road.
| The South London Chartist Hall, Webber street,
Blackfriars road, opened shortly before eight
o'clock, and in the space of few minutes after the
doors were thrown open, the spacious building be-
came crowded in every part.
The chair having been taken by Mr. Bryarson,
he said they had met there that evening to give ut
erance to sentiments of sympathy on behalf of the
Irish people [Cleers.l In alluding to the report
of the alleged insurrection in Ireland, he said it
was evident that there was something going on in
that country, and it also clear that the Govern
ment is afraid of what was going on there. He be-
lieved that the sword was already drawn and the
bullets flying on the other side of the Channel,
though our rulers had tried to disguise the fact.
Cheers He then exhorted the meeting to be eau
tous in the expression of their opinions; for, al
| though he had been informed that the present
seditious meeting, he did notwant TO use sedtious
language.
Mr.. kean moved the first resolution, viz: $ That
this meeting views with dstrust and alarm the
measures adopted by her Maesty's Government,
and sanctioned by the Imperial Parliament, for the
suppression of public opinion in Ireland, as tending
to the final severance of all amcable relations be-
tween the two nations and this meeting is farther
of opinion that the Irish people fully entitled TO
free and Independent Parliament, and, therefore,
resolve to tender to their patriotic brethren in Ire
land their cordial sympathy" [Caeers
Mr.. Pedley seconded the resoll,, ION, and would
have had objection if it had been little stronger
He believed they were fighting in Ireland, and he
hoped they would speedily achieve victory.
[Cheers The resolution then carried mem. con-
MIR. Shell proposed the second resolution 60 That
that meeting do solemnly protest against the base
and unconstitutional act of the British Legislature,
as committed by them in suspending the Habeas
Corpus Act in Ireland, and farther do hereby tender
a vote of thanks to Fergus 0Connor, Esq, M. r.,
and those gentlemen who supported him on that oc-
casiOn, for his manly and patriotic conduct; and
farther, that we solemny pledge ourselves to rem
der full aid and cooperation in the hour OF need
to our Irish brethren Loud Cheers.I lie SAID, at
the time of the Union, the Irish were promised
equal rights and equal laws with the English peO-
pie but these had not been extended to them. He
hoped that instruction in Ireland would soon be-
come general, great cheering,I and he cared little
for what he said nor for the consequences which
might follow. As Englishman, he considered
he had an unhounded right to give free Inference
TO his opinions if he spoke the truth. Hear, hear
If he suffered for that, he would only be like one of
those unfortunate persons already placed IN dun
geon, by base and bloody Government. If they
allowed their brave patriots to remain under such
confinement, they did not deserve the name of men,
[Vociferous applause. He called upon them to
come forward, and show that they were no towards
and God Almighty grant them victory. LHurrah,
and cheers.
At this stage of the proceedings the arrival of the
