A meeting was held at 'Brighton ou Friday last, fur the purpose of addressing the Queen on her Majesty's happy accouchement. The Chartists proposed an amendment, calling upon her Majesty to pardon those who are now suffering imprisonment for Chartist offences. The amendment was negativeffi One of the leaders of the Chartists stated, that their reason for interfering with the meeting was this, that " the Town-hall had been built principally by the money of the labouring classes, and that no oppo,ition would have emanated from them if the working-people were not altogether precluded from calling their meet- ings in the Town-hall."
