The Secretary begs respectfully to sujgest to the People that it is necessary that fnnds ahoald be immediately furnished to tb « Provisional Committee , in order that they may be able to print an uniform card of i membership , and do other preparatory business .

; j . a . 1 On Tuesday , July 21 , being the second day of the i Delegaxe Meeting , [ It was resolved : — i " That this meeting do recommend the formation of a : Committee ( to sit in Manchester ! , to attend to the dis-; tribution of a fund for the relief of the incarcerated i victims a . ad their families ; that such committee be j requested to fumieh a monthly report to the Northern SUir , and that the condnctor of tbe Star be the Trea-, surer , and Mr . Abel Heywood , bookseller , Oldham-( street , Manchester , he Sub-Treasurer . " I " That Messrs . Leaoh , Littler , and Nuttal , do make i arrangements for a public meeting to elect the comi . mittee . " ! " That an Auditing Committee be appointed to examine the accounU of the said fund every three months . "
| \ " That the following gentlemen be auditors for tha j first six months : —Mr . Thomas Iivesey , Rochdale ; ¦ Mr . Thomas Cocks , Hyde ; Mr . Robert Gray , Jlan-1 Chester . " » ADDRESS OF THE DELEGATES ASSEMBLED AT MANCHESTEB , TO TBE INHABITANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brethren , —The spirit of liberty is again awaken--ing ! The cry for freedom and justice is ODce more being raised . Twenty-three persons being dt-legattd to ratet at Manchester to rievise a plan by which to organise our power , and thereby ensure success to our cause , affords an undeniable proof that Chartism ib yet alive : Add to which tbe communications from places , where it was not fuuud convenient to send representatives , cheering the delegates in the performance of their important duty , and declaring readiness to act upon their decision , and to carry out theirrecommenda-[ lions , and we shall find ample evidenoe that a glorioma feeling yet exists , and that our fellow-men , although persecuted , are nothing daunted .
The delegates , in their consideration of that molt imfortam question— "What can be done to Mrry the People ' s Charter , " have been surrounded with every difficulty—the rage of the Whig Government for political persecution haviDg d-prived them of the assistance of many intellectual men , who would ^^ w > i —!> .. —i .. tji r : ijjMii L-4 iijiinij \ u ! by 4 ^ eraevwing application to their imporTant frast , they have framed a system of organisation , which , if approved and acted upon by the people , must produce the most desirable results .
In the performance of their duty , they have been materially assisted by the many plans put / orth io the XorViern Star , and others from Well-known friends , furwarded to the delegate meetiDg . These have bven so numerous that it is impossible to particularise : sufliee to say , that not one of them has been overlooked , and that the plan put forth by the delegate body , according to the opinions of its membtrs , embraces the most valuable portions of all , without the objectionable parts of any . The legal difficulties which presented themselves appeared almost insurmountable . The prohibition of correspondence between Societies , which seemed indispensable to a centralisation of power , presented a seriow impediment But your delegates have overcome this difacuKy by recommending the formation of a Grand National Charter Association of Grtat Britain , into which they hope to see all existing Associations immediately merged .
The delegates feel happy to announce thit in this work they have reason to belieTe they will have the ready assistance of Scotland and Wales , and they hope soon to effect the political regeneration of benighted and unhappy Ireland . The plan being distinctly drawn up under the necessary heads and divisions , it is almost unnecessary to allude to it here . But the delegates are anxious to declare their conviction that a strenuous effort muit be made to spread a knowledge of tbe principles of Chartism . The reports given by some of the < Jelegatej , as io the condition of their districts , -were truly lamentable ; and to remove the existing ignorance and misconception of Chartist principles and objects , tht-y recommend that intelligent snd discreet persons be employed as lecturers or missionaries , and tha : instructive political tracts be everywhere plentifully distributed .
The delegates trust , although some minor differences of opinion may arise respecting the means they have pointed out ; yet , as many matters were brought under their consideration of which the Chartists in generarcaiiD 9 t be aware , that all trifling differences will be set aside , and every individual , without exception , who lives upon his or her labour , and who is excluded from representation , to immediately become enrolled as a member of the National Charter Association . Twelve perf-oua have been nominated pro forma . The people are to select a Provisional Executive
Council , wao are to take the necessary steps to carry out the organisation . To this body all- correspondence must be sent until the Executive Council is elected .. The Jelegatee , on returning to their respective districts , will lay all matters of detail fully before their constituents , that the plan of organization may be better understood ; and such instructions will from to time , be given by the Provisional Committee , in the pages of the Chartists' press , as may assist the leading menibers of provincial districts in the performance of their duti » & .
It will be seen that the Delegates have studiously avoided szcuzsy . Convinced of the purity and justke of their cause , they fear not for their works to be known . The political prisoners , and more especially the unfortunate Welsh martvns , were the object of deep consideration . Tbe Delegates recommend petitioning without ceasing , either by petitions bearim : large numbers of signatures , or signed by Secretaries or Chairmen on behalf of Societies and Meetings , or individual petitions in immense numbers , or in each way , as may become necessary . It is hoped this recommendation will be immediately taken up and acted upon—it is the cheapest and most efficient method of expressing the opinions of the people , and TnaVing them generally known .
The pecuniary matters relative to the defence and relief of political victims and their relations have received due attention ; and it is proposed to place all such funds in future in the hands of a Central Committee—that the people may be better acquainted with the disposal of their funds , and that all the claims of all sufferers may be equally adjusted . Doubtless there are many imperfections and omissions in the Plan of Organisation respecting matters of detail . But these may be rectified as experience may show necessary ; but no objection should he raised to the recommendation of the Delegates on this account
It is not for the delegates to speak further upon their labours . But they are desirous of effecting CKIOH among ^ the working classes , by which they may become powerful . Let , then , a strenuous effort be made . IM the people immediately meet in every city , town , village , and hamlet , to make themselves acquainted with the nature of the proposed National Charter Associat ion , and at no distant period- Let there bo * be a werkiag man , a working woman , or child , wboa Hot a member of this great and glorious Associatioa ^ properly arranged in classes , and other division * ,, as is pointed out , and at is for proper Government deemed necessary . The delegates may be applied , to , at all times for other information .

RELEASE OF LOVETT AND COLLINS . ( Concluded from our eighth page . J /; their decision , aad ponder on what they heard . He had no objection to any idler living on SoourtyV provided he would be contented with the BanMrfltai , clothing , and lodging , that those who kep ^ t Wi fawi for themselves ; but he had gTeat objected , to ebe two millions of families , or ten millions of persons , living on the fat of the land , while the producers were in a Btate of absolute suffering and extensive starvation . He would give the labourer tho first loaf , and then if there , was aBytbing left , the scum and the idlers might have it ; he was amused the other day , on going to a friend s house , where they kept beeson his friend oallinc
, his attention to a commotion at the mouth of one o the hives , where five or six of the beea were employed in bundling another out ; he asked him what it meant , and his friend said , " that ' s a drone ; he waint work , and his comrades are bundling him out o' th * house ; " he thought that was not a bad lesson for the human bees , who ought to act as St . Paul bad directed , " He who will not work , neither shall he eat . " He was for the means of securing an equal distribution of wealth , by equal rights and equal privileges ; and if he thought the Charter would not accomplish that he would not struggle for it another moment ; but they could only accomplish this desirable end , by the existence of one great and mighty union , all bent at the same time
on the same object , not Birmingham struggling for the repeal of the Corn Laws or the currency crotchets , while Manchester , and Stockport , and Newcastle , and other places , were respectively occupied about something else ; theyBaust all act in concert , and no physical force in England would be able to resist such a display of their moral strength . When ho observed the mighty mass of yesterday , and only saw one drunken man , and to the honor of the females of Birmingham , not one of their sex iatoxicated j he was elated with joy , and oonstrainei ' t * say that if they carried out their meetings aB they did that of yesterday , they must carry all before them ; it was not long ago , that even at a moderate sized meetiug , s > considerable number of drunken
persons were to be seen , but the heads of those fellows were rendered so thick by their sottish propensities , that it would take a stewn saw twenty-four hours to cut an aperture large enough toJet in one atom of intelligence . If they would take tbe plan which had been agreed on at Manchester , and act unitedly on it , no police , or spies , or traitors , would be able to break through ; let them have one grand national association , for one great purpose , and let that purpose be the attainment of the People ' * Charter . ( The speaker was greeted on the termiav tion of his speech , with three tl » ea three choM % for theineae / S ^ okpoi ^ - ^ ,.-, „ ,- --, ^ - >^ ., . J Mr .

Hitherto their division and disunion had beea the strength of the Government ; but he would advise them no longer to look one way and row another . They had had a toast yesterday— " Success to the glorious revolution of 1830 , " being the anniversary of that event . He did not like , and would not adrocate , such bloody revolutions as that ; for there were always two kinds of revolutions . Bnt there were some persons very active now in drawing aside the attention of the people from their Charter , and seemed willing to take anything they could get ; though he had made up his mind , ibr one , to accept of nothing less than the whole hog . ( Loud cheers . ) He would declare to them , honestly , that he disliked
these expediency-mongers : when he met with a Tory , he met with a determined , but , at least , an honest , enemy , and he liked to have a battle with him ; but when he met with a Whig , the fellow came with the name of liberty on his tongue , but he held a dagger in his band , and his heart was as black as hell . ( Cries— "We ' ve plenty of ' em here . ") It was a curiou 3 fact , but most of the enemies of the people were a very religions lot ; but their religion had its foundation in the mammon of unrighteousness . Mr . Spurr then detailed , amidst much merriment , the battle of himself and Neesom with the Chaplain and Governor of Newgate on their refusal to go to church ; the visits of the Aldermen and Under-Sheriff , their solitary Confinement 011
bread and water , before trial , for not visiting a cfiurch from whose doctrines they conscientiously dissented ; and the conduct of the authorities when they found they had oversteppeu tho law ; and concluded by observing ; hat it would be next to impossible for any man to lay down a plan which should meet with the approbation of all parties ; but it was their duty to take the best they could , and follow it out by the moral force of reason , and the physical force of efery man making his house his castle , according to the law and the constitution , but no further . It was personal independence that was wanted , and no sacrifice would be too great to see their object accomplished , and the Charter made the law of the land .
Mr . O'Neil , Lanarkshire , submitted the following address , which had been agreed upon by the Delegates , — Address of the Delegates to the People of Great Britain . We , the delegates assembled from various parts of England and Scotland , to congratulate William Lovett and John Collins on their liberation from Warwick Gaol , feel it our duty , in separating upon this occasion , so interesting to the millions of our countrymen , for the defence of whose principles these nobla patriots have suffered , to urge upon them the necessity of carrying on with increased vigour ; the agitation in which they have been engaged .
We hail the liberation of these friends of liberty as the dawning of a new era in the history of Chartism . Birmingham has shown yesterday , by the hundreds of thousands , who assembled , that that town ia again beginning to ' stir up tue . latent energies that have for a time lain dprniant , that the giant is indeed rising out of slumber , Jand . if joined by the millions who once fought in the struggle , though baffled in their first attempts , they cannot fail to obtain the victory . We cannot forbear glancing at our movement , as it used to appear before the world , without expressing our satisfaction that many rocks upon which we have struck , and by Which w « have been much impaired , are now distinctly visible , and consequently guarded against . We hail the increasing energy and decision of our agitation , ttnaccempanied as it is by boisterous violenoe .
We feel proud of the constantly-increasing spread of political information , divested of superficial and temporary excitement We remember the time when Chartism was but a stream , dashing , in its infancy , against every rock of prejudice and ignorance , and though small and feeble , was all noise and commotion ; we rejoice that it is now a broad , a deep , pnd rapid river , and smooth , and almost unheard , yet careering , in calm , though noble glory , to the ocean of universal liberty . We cannot conclude on this joyful occasion without expressing our deep sympathy with those friends who are still suffering ; ardent are oar aspirations for their return among ua , and fervent is our request to you , to do all in your pewer to obtain the accomplishment of our desires .
We are confident that by acting in a calm and intellec ual manner , our numbers will greatly increase ; we rejoice that niaay of our countrymen are beginning to see the necessity « f co-operating with us for the acquisition of ouj demands , and though the reason of some has been fas a time overwhelmed by the flood of prejudice , that tiuoogh our energy in maintaining our first position , iastead of being led aside by any party measures , ho- * ertt » influential , and oar « imnM « in

Eiipsoit was rejoicted that so many intelligent
men of the town of Birmingham had assembled on yesterday anjl to-day , notwithstanding their treacherous desertion by the false men in whom they formerly reoqsed all their hopes , and whose mandate they were ever ready to follow . He had an idea to euggett t » them : they must have the Binews of war , good meetings , and an united purpose . They had spent their thousands in the old Political Union . ; and surely the 170 , 000 inhabitants would keep up the credit of the town of Birmingham for being ever a ^ the advanced guard of the noble army of freemen , ' i They are now standing on their own ground—on ground whereon , if they pleased , they might erect a Hall within the next year : they had already £ 590 down , and with as much more they would begin the work . In conclusion , he would move a vote of thanks to the Chairman .
Mr . Sual&wood , previous to this being done , moved , and Mr . H . Mumford seconded , a vote of thanks to the delegates ; whiob , being acknowledged by the delegate from London , a vote of thank * to the proprietor and the editor of the Northern Star , for complying with the request of the committee in sending a special reporter to record their proceedings ; and ; another vote o the reporter , for his assiduity in attending the whole of their meetings , were respectively carried % Acclamation ; the vote of thanks to the Chairman was then also unanimously adopted , and replied to by Mr .

Glad tidings bring hope to the lingering stave Unheed e <* Sy all but the bold and the brave . Scant , frtariltesa , nnpitied , and hopeless we lay , Outcast aad despised , to designers a prey , Condoling our lot , soon there came to onr aid O'Connor , that bold and unflinching unpaid , No bribery bought him , all favours he ' d spurn ! Nobly he conquer'd each foe in their turn . Oh , could I but picture his worth , he would stand Renowned and unrivall'd by all in the land . Then why stand aloof ? to your party be true , He fights not for fame , but for justice to you . Enslaved though we be , 'tis your duty to save From the fangs of the tyrant the honest and brave ; Retreat not from justice , retract not from fear ; Intrepidly rally when danger is near .
Expect not the wealthy your cause will defend , Nor yet the dissembler , or " mean-willy" friend ; Despise every faction , adverse to the cause Of justice and truth , and equitable laws . From rapine ,, restraint , and coercion ' unite ; Truth still must prevail against Whigcraft and might Haste onward to freedom , surmount every ill , Expunge every law that affects public weal .

FRANCE . The French papers of Monday and Tuesday breathe nothing but war against England on account of a Convention having been entered into by Lord Palmerston , with Austria , Prussia , and Russia , for the settlement of the Eastern question , by confining Mehenaet Ali to Egypt and the southern portion or Syria . The French funds have also fallen in consequence of the intelligence ; as the Government and people of France have hitherto warmly espoused the cause of Mehemet Ali . News of a formidable iusurrection in Syria , against the power of that ambitious Sovereign , has also been received in Paris , which has greatly increased the animosity of the Parisians against England .
SPAIN . Spain ia threatened with another insurrectionary movement , now that the Carlist faction has been put down . . It appears that , since Don Carlos and his partisans have been disposed of , the policy of the Spanish Ministry has taken an anti-popular bent , and , among other measures bearing this tendency , they have framed one by which an undue influence was conveyed to the executive in the organization of municipalities . To this measure Espartero , the victorious Christino General , was opposed , and endeavoured to obtain the revocation 01 the royal sanction , which had been given to it It will be recollected that the Queen of Spain and the Regent , her mother , being on a tour , were at
Barcelona—a city noted for its Liberalism . On the 18 th , Espartero , after vain e fforts to force the Queen to reyoko the sanction given to the law on the municipalities , announced that he would leave the city . Van Halen , sent for , arrived at Barcelona at the gams time with Ayerbe and Carbo , whO 86 divisions are cantoned ia the neighbourhood . In the evening , a tumult took place , and the military force , disclaiming the authority of ministers did not prevent those disorders . Espartero , returned to the palace , obtained the 1
revocationof the sanction given to the bill , and the formation of a new ministry . Barcelona is in very great excitement . The Queen Begent is incensed . M . Perez de Castro , the General Cleonard , and others of the old cabinet , took refuge on board the French brig , the Me'leagre . They arrived at Port Veudres on the 22 ud . Important results , both to France and Spain , may grow out of this military movement . To Louis Philipp * it must be a source of embarrassment , terminate as it may .

The Earl of Durham is dead . The Crops in Ireland . —There are gloomy accounts of the state of the crops in Ireland , where the diBtresa arising ont of scarcity of food and want of employment is eaid to be intense . Business continues heavy in the English manufacturing districts , and there is too much reason to apprehend that the ensuing winter will be a season of severe trial to the labouring poor . , Ancient Gabdenbrs . —On Saturday last , the members of the pleasent spring lodge ojf .

Frost , Williams , avo Jones .-A correspondent writes us that Mr . Owen has received a letter from W . Jones , on board the Mandarin convict ship , via Liverpool , -dated Cape of Good Hope . He states that they are dressed in the convict garb , but that then * diet is better , as they are in the hospital . He denounces the petty tyrants , or jacks in office in the shape of magistrates , in unmeasured terms , and likewise the governor of Monmouth gaol who went to them and asked them how they would like their bodies to b « diaposed of , as Mr . Moyaton wa 9 cone to
London for instructions for their execution . On the night that they were removed from Monmouth , the friends that wished to take a parting farewell were kept back at the point of the bayonet . W . Jones advisee agitation from one end of the kingdom to the qther , for the sake of our own liberty . He declares most positively that they were not guilty of the crime chareed upon ihemj that thej never intended treason . They trust'to the exertions of the people for their recall , as they would prefer death to a life of transportation .
Swimming Race . —We observe that a swimming race is to take place in the Clyde , on the morning of the 7 th of August , under the auspices of the National Swimming Society of London . On this occasion silver prize medala are to be awarded to the three swiftest swimmere . The gainer of the first prize will have engraved on his medal , " Gla gow Champion , 1840 , " which will enable him to enter the list in London as a competitor for the gold medal , value 20 guineas . We hope to see a numerous body of competitors on an occasion so interesting as the above , and look forward to some good sport on the waters . — Glasgow Argus .
Serious Riot at Lancaster . —Attack on the County Police . —It appears that in the neighbourhood of Lancaster , there exists a very strong feeling of dislike to the new constabulary force . During the races on Wednesday , the police stationed in the immediate neighbourhood of Lancaster , about four in number , wero frequently hooted , hissed , and otherwise annoyed ; and towards the evening , in consequence of one of the police having resented the insults of the crowd , he and his fellow .-ofiicers were simultaneously attacked , and driven from the ground , This was the extent of the disturbance on Wednesday , the assaulted men being glad to escape without offering any defence to the infuriated multitude
It appears that the superintendent officer at tho head of the Lancaster station , deemed it prudent to apply at the head quarters in Preston for a reinforcement . On Thursday morning , the body thus despatched , who , together with those already on th spot , made the total number twenty-six , proceeded from the railway station , in military order , through the town to the race ground . They were frequently , during the day , assailed with hisses , groans , and almost every species of execration , while Mr . Malcolm Wright , of the Lancaster police , and his men wero received with applause whenever they appeared . Whatever movement was made by the 'rurals , ' the populace cried out— "Down with the Irish rascals !"— " Down with the rural d la !¦ " '
Nothing , however , occurred , of a grave character , until the evening , when , a pugilistic contest having taken place between two men , the police interfered , and were immediately resisted with considerable "violence . They then began to lay about them with groat fury ; and their conduct is described as having been exceedingly savage ; for they commenced a general onslaught , and , with their thick staves ( which are weapoiiB of a most murderous description ) , struck about , right and left , and excited the people to a . general and serious riot . The police were attacked with stioks , 8 ton % and whatever other weapon or missile could be ' procured ;* ah 4 many were the broken heads and fractured limbs , and dis-Juaired ftces ,, $ aat -were given'and received on both
aides . / Unhappily , several who wer $ rwfcoUy blameless met with severe punishment : one young man , & joiner , of the name of Clemenjon , in COraiDg out o one oi the booths , wit * - . a young woman , was knocked down ^ of po j icej whq stTuck him a furious blow , which at once rendered him insensible . On attempting to get up , he was again struck several savage blows , and was taken off the ground for dead , lour surgeons were in attendance upon him until yesterday morning , and we understand he is not expected to survive . After a skirmish which , wo think , was never surpassed at Donnybrook Fair , the police succeeded in taking about a dozen persons into custody , whom they handcuffed . Their assailants followed them till the whole party reached Lancaster . On their arrival in the town
, the prisoners were lodged in th ? Town Hall , sevwal of the police having in the mean time received serious ill-usage : one of them , at least , remains in a precarious state . In the Market-place , the policemen formed a square ; but they were shortly driven to seek shelter . All kinds of weapons were used ; and , among others , a seven pound weight was thrown in tho midst of the terrified ' rurals . ' A scene of tremendous disturbance ensued , during which the principal part of the windows of the Hall , and the adjoining houses , Were broken ; and , though no further serious personal accident was sustained , the town continued in a state of great excitement till midnicht . When our account left , yesterday , the persons in custody were undergoing examination ?) before the magistrates . —Preston Chronicle .
Destructive Fire near Stockport . —A most calamitous and destructive fire took place on Sunday evening last , at the extensive cotton mill and manufacturing premises , occupied by Messrs . Samuel Stocks and Son , at Heaton Mersey , about two miles from Stookport , on the bank of the river . The fire continued for hours to rage with the greatest violence , casting a heat bo intense as to prevent the firemen from going near the place ; but after the fall of the roof and floors , they were enabled effectively to prevent the flames from communicating to the adjacent buildings , and to confine them to the
extensive pile in which they had originated . Hitherto the cause and origin of the fire remain unknown . We understand that the damage cannot be regarded at less than about £ 20 , 000 ; but to how many hundreds or even thousands beyond that sum it may reach , not even those most interested and concerned , can at present form any well considered idea . Both the building and the machinery were insured to an amount which will fully cover the damage sustained , in the following insurance offices : —The Manchester , the Sun , the Guardian , the Royal Exchange , the Phoenix , and the Atlas assurance offices .

CHARTIST CIRCULAR . MEN OF ENGLAND . -MR . HEYWOOD , . of MANCHESTER , having now agreed to W , come Geaetal Agent for the Chartist Circdlar t »/ all your . Diswicts , Associations , Booksellers , &e . i we deem it necessary to give you a brief account of the rise , progress , and nature of that Publication , and to call upon you to use every meana in your power to secure for it a sure and an extensive Circa * lation . ¦ Impressed with the belief that the creation , diatribution , org&Tuza . tion , and direction of just Opinions constitute the infallible means of obtaining the Charter of tho People ' s Rights , we resolved , in the Month of September last , to issue a Weeklv " PeJ
nodical embracing sound ftdlitioai Articles , original and selection the natuiti ' and design of Man ' a existence—his social , moral , civil , and rjHfous Rights ; the philosophy of Universal Suffra ^^ Snnual Parliament , Vote by Ballot , -and thwner points of the Charter , & 3 founded on Naturifwid illustrated in their effects in the Governments of America , Norway , Switzerland , &c ; the Statistics of British Labour ; the Grievances of the Work&jf Classes ; the Currency and Com Laws ; the immunities of the Rich—their Pensions , and Sinecures ; - the barbarous Laws of Primogeniture and Entail ; aud the audaeiouB Claims of the Aristocracy to the Hereditary Right of Legislating for the
Country . These , and many other kindred topics , which the Repositories of Corruption afford , were the Subjects we proposed to discuss In our Columns . The People of Scotland hailed the Chartist Cibcular as a fearless and intelligent-Advocate of the great cause of Uaifera *!

Not fewer ,: probably , than Fifty Thousand Individuals have , every week since , either read it , or have heard it read ; and , we hesitate not to Bay , that , although its price is only one halfpenny , it has been a powerful auxiliary to the Cause of Libertv—it
has to a considerable extent been the nucleus of a general Union , by helping to arouse the apathetic —to enlighten the uninformed—to organise the isolated—to combat the prejudiced—to restrain the imprudent ,, and to animate the timid . The enemies of freedom have not dared to meet its . arguments , because its reasonings are based o * ' Belt-evident truths , and are often given in the language of the greatest authors of botn ancient and modern times . Fellow Countrymen , for the same reason that tyrants , impostors , and oppressors bate the pnjgres * of popular intelligence , we Ought to love it : they hat « it because they know that in the ^ oorance of the multitude is hid the secret of aristocratic power —they hate it because they know that were the industrial millions , whom they have long enslaved , insultedj plundered , and debased , awakened to a true knowledge of their rights , of their resources .

We had letters repeatedly Um from several booksellers in Yorkshire , Lancashire « fcc , as welk as from London , requesting u 3 to forward it to them ; but the heavy expense of carriage , particularly as w « derived no profits from the publication , put it beyond our power to supply them . Ihere was no other method , we found , by which we could safely , send it to snch a distance , bnt through the medium of , a general agent : this difficulty iB at last surmounted , and all that is necessary now for 2 Sffi ! 2 ££ r <***> " * *» ° * er aad
Brother Chartists of England , the highest obiest of pur hopes next to the attainment of our right * ia an indissoluble union between you and the People of Scotland , v Establish the Chartist Circular ykih you as wehave done the Northern Star , that unflinching organ of tho working millions , with ua , and then we will enjoy the satisfaction and the advantage of mutually reading the sentiments and appreciating the feelings of oae another throughout the length and breadth of the land . ^^ It is necessary , however , to state that after having calculated tne cost of conveyance to Manchester , and the regular discount to the trade , we find that unless your orders amount to at least 8 . 00 & a week , we would incur a pecuniary loss on every copy sent . In order , therefore , to obtain a knowledge of how many you may r « quire , we submit to you the following arrangement .
, First , that £ 11 Bookselling , News Vending AsbociationB , or District Secretaries , do , on or before baturday . the 15 th of August , forward to Mr .
