WIGAJ * . Thb Cosh-Law Huxbcs . —Last night , the Whig Com-Law ; humbugs experienced a complete defeat . It having been announced by placard that a lecture would be'given on Thursday night , by a Mr . Hargraves , on the subject of the Corn-L * ws , the Chartists assembled at tfaj meeting , and listened with the utmost patience tira long , vulgar harangue of complete nonsense , nnfil the fellow , imagining that he might say what he ftad a mind , aceused Mr . Warden ^ of Bo lton , of being in the pay ^ of the Tories for the purpose of opposing the repeal of the Corn-Laws . This calumny aroused the indignation of the honest Chartists , who repelled the charge and called upon aim to prove it ; but , instead of doing so , be endeavoured to excuse himself by saying that h * was accused of being a Government agent , and nerepiesUd the protection of a chairman . The Wh » lick-swttlea then nominated an indniJa&l to

B ^ nirit of Chartism is not dead here ; all that is wanted is the presence of some good . Radical delegate ; and we would be thankful to Bolton , Manohester , or any town that would send us one , and give us timely notice in the Star .
LIVERPOOL Liverpool Workikg Men ' s Association . — At the weekly meeting of the above Association , held on the 22 d June , Mr . John Cowan in the chair , the treasurer of the Victim Fund , Mr . Thomas Askwith , reported the amount of the various sums in hand , for the benefit of the families of the incarcerated Chartists : — - b . d . From a few operative tailors , per Messrs . Cowan and M'Conaell 10 0 Proceeds of a Baffle of & Plate of the Convention \\ o From the subscription-boxes lying at the following places : — Mr . Stewart , BookseU « r Whitechapel 5 0 Mr . Murray ' s , Scotland Road 6 0 Mr . Smith ' s , Bookseller , Scotland-place ... 9 8 - Mr . West wick ' s Community Hotel ... 1 6 Collected by Mrs . Wright ... - ... 1 4
£ 2 4 6 Moved bv Mr . Ferguson , seconded by Mr . Lindsay , " That the above sums be forthwith transmitted to the Northern Star office for the General Victim Fund . "—Carried . Moved by Mr . Francis Mellor , seconded by Mr . Backhouse , " That the sum of 6 d . be handed over to Wm . Willoughby , one of the Bolton Chartists , who ** term of imprisonment m Kirkdale G&ol had that day expired , to enable him to travel to Bolton . " Carried . It was afterwards suggested that some more efficient means should be adopted in raising a Victim Fund , and notice was given that oa the next aurbt of meeting * -Oommittee of siwith the treasurerWould be
, , moved for , to consider the beet mode of collecting amongst the inhabitants indiscriminately ; and by means of a printed appeal , endeavour to arouse the humane feelings of the middle classes in favour of such a praiseworthy undertaking . Mr . Barnard M'Cartney wished to draw the attention of the meeting to an advertisement in the Northern Star « a * ther aewspaperB , of Mr . Thomas Parkin ' s projected issue of the Eattern Star , or Chortutf Magwme . This was a . very engaging name truly ; bat let them mark the intended burthen of its song— " to shew up that mercenary editor and po litical apostate Jeargus O'Connor . '' What the object of Mr . Parkin could be it was not for him to
Bay ; but he conceived it anything but gentlemanly to strike at the reputation « f one who was entirely incapacitated , from the position in which he stood , from defending himself . Mr . Parkin would probably not haye considered him ( Mr . O'Connor ) so very base in his double capacity ot editor and politician , if he had struck a bargain with Mm , when solicited , for his £ 10 or £ 70 politico-reli gious effusions ia the Starjtat' ' C * rs snap at lions in the toils , whose looks Frighted them , being free . And be ( the speaker ) was fully convinced that Mr . Thomas Parkm would as soon undertake a journey to Loretto with unboiled peas in his shoes , as bring himself in contact with Feargus O'Connor , if that gentleman was in a position to defend himself . I t was , therefore , the duty of all who bare witnessed
the superhuman exertions and personal sacrifices which had been made by Feargus O'Conner to defend his character , when he was rendered incapable of repelling the slanders of his false friends . With these views he would propose to them the folio wine resolution : — " That this meeting views with august the contemptible and slanderous proceedings of that would-be-patriot , Thomas Parkin , as regards our incarcerated champion , "FeargU 8 O'Connor ; convinced that anything aiming at bis character and reputation now , when he is incapable of defending himself , should be met by the nonest indignation of all lovers of justice . " Seconded by Mr . Lindsay . Carried . After the thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman , the meeting separated .

Public Meeting ox Behaif op she Srpife « ite » i ? Political yFiENDEiau-Last week ar-aanUilkEr ' signed by thirty individuals , all of whom j with ttae ^ or two exceptions , were voters of this borough , was i presented to Messrs . Patchott and Pollitt , con- 3 stab es of Halifax , a copy of which was retained by ¦ ' the last-named gentleman , after declining , *> call < the meeting because the ecnior constabJe . ' WM from 1 home , and could not be consulted . It roas . tiiqf'H ' t •»' We , the undersigned inhabitant houselibldewrdf j the borough of Halifax , request you to convene a ' meeting of the inhabitants on as early a day as con * ' venient , to consider the propriety of petitioning ' both Houses of Parliament for the liberation of pri « ] sonera confined for minor political offences , and for ' a relaxation of the severity to which other prisoners J are subjected . " A meeting was called in the name- I oi . , . ^ . w - ^ «__ „ HAUPA 3 r _ . . . _ , , .- - ^ J
^ requismomsts , and was held last Monday ' evening , at Mr . Cadney ' s , Cattle Market , Harrison Road , which was offered without Charge : for that service ; and a more attentive , audience wat oarer witnessed . . The business of the meeting wafe ^ binmenced about seven o ' clock , Mr George TbfflBpson , tea dealer , beiug unanimously called to the enair < and Mr . Robert Sutcliffe , of Booth Town , was called ' on to move the first resolution , the Chairman having read the requisition , and stated the objects for which the meeting was convened . Mr . B . Rushton , from Ovenden , supported t he resolution in a very appropriate speech , in which he placed , in a very striking point of view , the comparative innocence of al l tne political offenders now suffering , who were doomed to the severest punishments for having only expressed their opinions on political matters In strong language , being the honest convictions of their own minds . He then concluded bv reading the
resolution— " That the extreme sufferings of the prisoners now confined for political offences are deserving of the sympathies and support of this meetmg . Air . K . Wilkinson moved the second resolution— That petitions , gigned by the Chairman oa the behalf of this meeting , be forwarded to ooth Houses of Parliament , expressive of its regret at the unfeeling and uncalled-for treatment of persons conhned for political offences , and to entreat the Legislature to institute an inquiry into their cases and situations , with a view of liberating those imprisoned for minor offences , and such a relaxation of the severity endured by others as is more consonant to the feelings , wishes , and interests . of the nation . " Mr . \ Vilkinson asked what would tend to promote the happiness of a nation ; the best which he caneluded would be—a good and cheap Government . He took a retrospective view of ancient Greece and Rome , bringing down his observations to the
dmseut time ; and entered into certain details reapect-* eg labourers' wages , shewing that the depreciatioawas such as to cause general discontent , and that was one cause which had led many of the Chartists now imprisoned for political offences to come forward in the defence of their rights , and by speaking boldly their sentiments on political subjects , had been doomed to severe prison discipline , and advised the authorities that if they were determined to go on with their prosecutions , to build prisons as large as all Yorkshire to hold them in , or otherwise they would not have room for them . Mr . R . Tetley supported the resolution , entering into a general view of the situation in which the oolitical offenders
stand , and the very severe hardships they endure for having honestly declared their opinions to the pubho ; and said it was a subject of individual consideration for all there present , whether they would support such a system of oppression or not , for if they dared to express their opinions , they were liable to the same kind of torture . He spoke in very strong terms of the base treatment of O'Connor , contending that he was suffering for other people ' s offences more than his own , and for advocating the working man ' s interest ; that their gaols were now converted into inquisitions , and their magistrates into inquisitors , for the purpose of carrying ou secret punishments , the evidence of which , in his case
they have not dared to publish . He was now Buffering for his honesty , his virtue , and his innocence , nothing having yet been proved against him for which he could be held individually responsible , as the evidence on his trial most clearl y proved , no single act of hiB life having been brought forward on which the tongue of alander could heap a reproach . Feargus O'Connor was the equal of Lord Normanby , or any other Lord , in talent , education , or family descent , and yet he had been treat as a criminal without just cause or provocation . When stating the situation in which ho was placed at present , in respect of visitors , that they would not be allowed to make any report of the precise situation in which they found him which might reach the public ear , instancing the visit of his publisher , manv voice * « t .
claimed Shame , shame f * and on being informed that if the Government failed in producing the necessary information , that would be supplied by the Northern Start marks pf approbation . followed which evidently indicated strong feeling . of COTUMawation . for the gftbtleman's snfierinCT , ami , a desire to be put iu PO 8 ^ session of the whole faete The resolutions and petitions were ^ passed unanimously ,, and , after disftemgytati necessary business connected with the requisition , an address to the Queen was brought forward and read to the meeting by the chairman , which had bwn drawn op for the occasion , expressing regret at the late brutal attempt to taUawav her hfe , and ateo oalSng on her Majesty to take , into eonsideratioatbe ffiatnsaes tmder waiSrsb aafixjff her Majes ty ;* . obieoi . « r » w * rfoor , Wth HTffi ?• $ * " ^«** J * te £ ** toP » rachtfbtf changes bwhui j ^ r , ionn

Midsummer Fair . —Wednesday last was the first fair day , and assumed a very lively appearance by the throng of country people which attended , and the places of amusement now open for entertainment . The Royal Exhibition , and a variety of other shows , served to attract publio attention , whilst the show of cattle , on the former part of the day , drew the attention of tha trades-people , but was thought not to be so numerous as on former occasions , but gotd prices were asked .

An Address of Cohsratulatioh to hbb Majbstt . —The walla of the town being placarded , that a meeting would be held by requisition , ia the Court House , at twelve o ' clock oa Tuesday , for the above purpose , we hastened to the Court at the time appointed , lest we might be late , and not get in , and our reason for thinking bo was confirmed oy seeing so many of the Conservative leaders' nasnea to the requisition : bat . you mayjodge of our surprise at seeing the doira eioseaTaadno signs of a meeting . One o ' clock cam *—still the same . However , shortly after one , the doors were opened ,. and a great many of th » working ! classes went in . A few minuto * tfter , three or four of the respectables same . We aumbered seven on the platform , not one of whom had sfgntd ^ he requisition , with the exceptionof 4 k « i ^ au » an , the Ber . vMr . Witfaa « , and he deuliMft Vtkr had to search for him . otherwise
he aboiHnot lave b « jri there . Now , we would ask a few plain questions before we show thepubne who were the the loyal men of Barnsley . Where were the Conservatives—we beg pardon—Hanoverians , who Bigned the placard , why did not they attend ! Where were the loyal parsons of the town ! Where was the Town Clerk , or his sons I 0 / , where were the magistrates who , above all , ought to countenance the meeting , and show examples of love and loyalty t Where were all these gentlenea ! Or are they belonging to the Haw England lads with the black masks ! If they are , they nave done well to stay away , and not peltate the meeting with th « ir presence . Bat . « hl if their work wore to hant down
Chartists , what busy mortals they would be ! HoWever we particilarly noticed that the Chartists could carry everything before them ; bnt they evinced a detidftd pleasure in tarrying the address , and laying it at tas foot « f the Thr » n » without as much as « v « a asking the favwt—that aa Almighty G « d au beta propitioas in prtMsr h « r Majesty from ths assassin ' s band , she womW be graciously pleased to snow mercy to all political offenders , by restoring them to the bosoms of their families , and domestic happiness . Yet we think very village , town , and hamlet in England shtald address her , and pray other , as God had merer on her , so ahtuld she show mercy to her poor sab / eats We find Louis Phillippe , of France , thoigjfc refused
tne donation money lor his son . ( and chagrined at the same . ) granting pardon to all political offenders : but Louis studied in the . school of adversity , and knows well that a monarch should court the love of bis subjects . We are sorry to say that her Ministers did not advise our young ana innocent Queen to follow the same footsteps . The nation hailed with pleasure the happiness of their Sovereign ; why should the BubjectB of old England be disappointed in not having one act of kindness bestowed upon them ! We would stake our existence there will be more mercy shown towards the black masks who would murder her , than to tie loyaLChartists , who only strove , and are striving , to gjjflFpristine health and youthful vigour to the constitution , and thereby » v « equal ju 8 ti «» to all ¦ lasses .

Poverty and Distress . —The poverty of the great mass of the people is increasing every day , and petty thefts are becoming so prevalent , that they are scarcely taken notice of , other than in language denoting that it will be every poor roan ' s case ere long to do the same ; and that they may as well herd together like wild Arabs , and take it where they can . Trade is worse than it was two months past ; and God only knows what is best to be done to put aa end to this calamity . Om Monday morning last , a couple presented themselves at St . Margaret ' s Church , to have the connubial knot , for better or worse , tied . Owing Ji-5 . " ^ of the chur « li not having the banns published , they were sadly nonplussed for a time ; but Sottio kind friend stepped forward , and insisted on th * yClerk ' s buying them licence , which ho did . lms is a lesson to him , never to forget again , especially when love and marriage are so pressing .
BOLTON . NatioKal Victim Funp . —On Thursday last , at a meeting of the association , called for the purpose , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That as the Chartists of Great Britain ^ ge repeatedly , in publio assembly , declared their detetfaination . aever to .-cease iu their exertions till "Me People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land , ftey aTetherefore bound by every principle of honour and justice to aid and support such bf their leaders and their famllieB as have become , through their advocacy of the - rights of the working class , the victims of Goternmentprosecution : and that we . the Chartistn
ot Bonpu , do forthwith commeace a subscription of not toss than one halfpennyper .. week each in aid oi " the fund for the relief and support ^ of the imprisoned Chartists and their fajnilies . * The plan of your Birmingham correspoadent regarding the " establishment of a National Victim Fund , " to be managed by " a treasurer and trustees for the whole country /' was highly : approved of by the meeting ; but no reason was shown why the establishment of such plan could no ^ be adopted before the 27 th . of July , and it was recommended that the General Delegate Meeting , to be held at Manchester , should take the matter into its immediate consideration .
\ STOCKFORT . " The Devil among the Tailors . "—Several democratic members of the watch committee attached to our Town Council , have been carrying the principle of reduction into the police force . They having been concerned in dragooning the working classes to accept an abatement . of wages , it was determined by some friends of the poor to try how the policemen like to work for less wages and more labour ; the old adage being " What 13 good for the goose is good , for the gander . " Accordingly , on JTriday night , it waa resolved , that out of our police establishment , which comprises ten offioers ( exclusive of
the superintendent ) one ( Winn ) should be diBcharged ; Sergeant Hough should be reduced 2 s . in his 26 s . ; Bowers Is . in 24 s . ; Walker Is . in 24 s . ; Longson 33 . ia 24 s . ; Walters 3 s . in 24 s . ; Bramall 3 s . in 24 a . ; Cadman Is . ia 24 s . ; whilst the other two are to be raised , Hammond 3 s . and Scragg Is . Six or seven of them say they won't "knob-stick ; " but will turn out . The abatement is to commence in a fortnight from the notice . Of course as " circumstances alter cases" the language of the blue-boUle - gentry will now be that the masters have behaved with great cruelty in reducing the wages of the operatives .
The Tubx-Oct . —The aspect of this town has been Bomewhat altered since our last by a partial and temporary resumption of labour , under peculiar circumstances . On Sunday , a meeting » f the delgates for the surrounding manufacturing districts , was held at the Bull ' s Head , Market-place ; and after considerable discussion it waa ; agreed that the hands of all but five ** shops" out of eighteen , should q ^ cept the redaoed rate of wages ; and that when tie five had obtained their price , five others must < Sjtaft _ $ nt again , arid so on until tha struggle had t&flrfaated in favoaf M . ib * old prices . Accordingly numbers resumed work on Monday morning , in conformity with the above arrangement . OnTuesdav . to
above ^ £ 320 was distributed those hands who ^ were tt ,, preje& out of employment ; and the average wWwadc * was about , 3 s . 7 Jd . per head . Now , that flWBuMtide is otbt , the collections , it ia expected , will be jgonudeifablj augmented , from the out dig 4 ricWj . Thepeople , and particularly those interested wfwrate of wagfes , should bear In mind that at the Knutsfor 4 Quarter aessiona , which commence next rw ^ SkOfv » mfi i . ojciea cases of conspiracy-toJ JSmt together with other offeaoes connected with thataMwmtand theploqueta ; and which the Masters ' Association are determined to prosecute with relentless JOgdur . It will , therefore , be neeessary that B » da 6 fujtd shpold be raised forthwith for the purpose of constituting a Turn-out ' s Defence Fund , or else the parties to be indicted will assuredly be sacrificed at the will of their persecutors for want of pecuniary resources to instruot counsel with . It
should also be borne in mind by the artisans of all trades whatsoever , that the great question to be tried in this matter , is whether the turn-outs can walk peaceably through the streets or not ; for if a conviction takes place , and which the masters will spare neither pains nor expense to obtain , there is an end to allprocesaions and contests for tne rights of labour . The working man becomes the debasing and degraded slave of capital ; and the spirit of the Combination Iawb , which were passed for the protection of the labourer , will be virtually repealed . The following admirable petition on the subject of the struggle now pending in this town , has already received near 10 , 000 signatures ; and will , in a few days , be transmitted to Parliament for presentation . Let every man , if he wishes to be a free man , sign it ; and thereby record his unmitigated disgust at the conduct already exhibited by other parties towards 9 . 900 people then unemployed : —
