As for professional men , Leech , aa a barrister , excuse me from " fouling my own nest ; " bat , ask yourself , trfcere lies the eonadenee of men -who are trained to the indiscriminate support of right and trrong . If ever the devil invented a greater jniianoe than barrister ! and attomies , it to -when he est ablished a State Church , and of the three , I am nelly at a loo t o select the worst Now , for the ahopkeepen . Xatt of this class have Yofces for the election ef memben of Parliament , and to prove their derotion to Radical interest , let me just obserre , that the Tory pora . cm . iiicasQ of a contest , -would prefer two Wbigato
i Tory and a Ckartist , while the Whigs would prefer tro Tories to a Whig and a Chartist It ia only the jafortanate portion of this class wfco profess to lend a Hiffly ear to Radical principles . While they are in basbes , though declining , they hare hope , and further , they are bound together by a kind of conventiona l dictinctton . As the small landlords are bound by the large ones , so are the little shopkeep ers bound by the great ones . When they fail , they then become Chartists , but , alas ! that is rather late . But I will tell you when they srnit all become Chartista , when taxes and poor-rate * eat up profits , and that time is coming fast Death and quarter-day are two certain visitors , and nike no distinction of persons . Of all men living it
is most the interest of the shopkeepers that the working people shonld be well paid , and yet w © find those very shopkeepers invariably voting for the most obaoxioos candidate , and then they eay to the people , why dont yon bang forward good men , aod " « re "Wi " support them . Now , Leech , iaking the masters , bankers , merchants , corn-factors , stock-jobbers , and shopkeepers , or the middle classes , which of those do you wish to join yon , or which are the peoplemad eoaogh to suppose will join them ? The profit which large shopkeepers make of taxes is all that they have to live upon in the present rage for competition , and therefore they will take care to keep ip the taxes , and down the people .
yow , Leech , every one of these several classes will ay out for a repeal of the Corn LawB , and say that it is all far the benefit of the people , and from no selflah . jaotive whateTer . But , when I prove that one-fifteenth put of your own soil lett at an income of fifty per cent rent , would create comfort , plenty , and peace > they turn the deaf ear to the proposal . Yes . Leech , eren fi-re maiion acres of land , let to ene minks heads « f families , would soon deliver Yorkshire cem in Sheffield market , so that both the grower and those who exchanged their manufacture for it could Ere like freemen .
But , for once , and for ever , believe that it is the tateaikm of all above to grant to all below just what those bekiw an able to take from them by n ^ rn ftwe . By force they get , by force they keep , and , in my conscience I believe , that to force alone they will surrender . Now , Leech , it is growing very late , sad I am stall very weak , but I must make a few feneral obeervijSoBs , Hu ft ever struck you as remarkable that after the passing of the Reform Bill it was difficult to get Members hot enough for the fiery oonaftfcawwiw , while we now find that such men aa ShxrmmCraw&rd , OoL Thompson , Mai . Beauclerk ,
Roe-Vnck , Faittrfiri , of Brighton , Kennedy , of Tiverton , Gully , Sasken , ofWakefidd , Captain Wood , of Sandall , and John Fielden , the glorious John Fielden , except for Oldhsm , are aD too liberal for those very constituenccs after eight years working of the Whig machine . Thompson , Crawford , Roebuck , Beaaelerk , Faithful , Kennedy , Gully , and Gaskell were all Members in the flak reformed Parliament They have not changed , btfL ttwy an now too Radical for any constituency ; conssquently , the constituencies must have softened lown ' a little . Next come to those in the Honse Holeswbrth , Grote , Leader , Hume , Wakley . and & few
more , who would willingly be distingnisned if they W « H , or if 8 m * dared . Why are not Leader sod Holecwarth as forward as they uaed to be ? Because they have no party , and they do w * like to be laughed at Why have they bo party ? Because they have no organ . If they go too fcr for the Government , the Government press seoldsthem , and they are laughed out of their liberality by the Tory press calling them Radicals , Chartists , and DwtmetiTe * . Kow if we had a daQy paper , "Which ,
mark , I am resolved to have , the first fruits would be from twenty to thirty members pitching into the citadil ef corruption under the fire of their own artillery We never can keep five members together upon Radical pnnepla * Trithoct the commissariat , which is the press . In lact , my greatest astonishment is that they dont aitify John Fielden , for , constructed as the House aow is , he is , without comparison , the most upright representative that ever entered thut . House . Indeed , thoega he refused to become security for the Star , he ia
i credit to the country , and an honour to Oldham . I tope , next Session , Mr . Fielden will press them a bit « poa the secreWserriee fund . We must have that out , » d I pledge my life that the print of Dan ' s big thumb Till be found upon the Irish aide of the honey crock , iflfrfh , I am now in solitary confinement , and I am Tay likely to remain here for yet sixteen months ; kot when I get tut , 111 make up for it , believe-me . I hare been fighting them long enough at long shot , With heaTy artillery , but as soon aa ever I get out , 111 dtllge them with * daily paper , and then let tbem *» d if they can . They laughed at the Star . I will nake them laugh again at the wrong side of the aoiith—whea they see it proved that the people only ftqaire to know their rights to require them . I shall
km great opposition , but I never thrive till I am * eB oppeeed . You have my word that the paper I c » 2 start , and if I dont make a smash among the little & 7 the first quarter ! the light infantry must either become Radical , or walk off The effect of a Radical & 2 y paper -would be to maie all tbe Whirlings tarn fiaee oat of five points towards Chartism ; and observe , I dcmt start the paper so math far the instruction of the people as for the instruction of those whose minds hiTe been poisoned by a hireling press . Just reflect Bpon the manner in which even the local ones have dated to treai aax meetings asd movements ; it > i « . b keen by such calumnies that the enemy have taken heart , and dared to assault a people thus represented , u a rope of Bind , and divided in counciL We have
Sow fought our first campaign ; the enemy have made stsae prisoners ; but we have gained ground , and I hope and trust that , from the result , the people will learn wisdom . We heard of nothing but " We cant « ly upon our leaders . " Now , never were there a set of Kara glorious leaders ; and , thank God , we have the fctter part of a dozen of Irishman in the prisons . fca is glorious . While our country is debased below Sfclerel of any nation upon earth ; but , believe me , ftfi heart is as soft as an old rag , and wi ll take fire Eke tinder , and when once Paddy is up , faith , John ^ may go to bed . Let no rn ^ n blame the Irish
peo-« " *• They know no more of what is going on in the Wfceal world than the child unborn . My parish •" t&tts a population of over 15 , 000 , and I would held * *« gB wager that no two farmers , or three labourers , ferheard the name of Henry Hunt , or Frost , or the f * -b « ter Labourers , or Lord Melbourne , and not one * * with two hundred acres of land , ever sees a **» paper , and no labourer would know what you * J"W by * uch a thing .

I « eeeh , has your order gained by th « applicat ion of steam to travelling ? No ; but on the contrary , while travelling is rendered more cheap , comfortable , and expeditious , for the -wealthy , those of the working classes , who take but short trips , are , upon most lines , deprived of aQ accommodation . Again : the Penny Postage—While Barings and other houses save thousands & yeai , your order makes up the deficiency ; amd the poor dont write a letter more . Again : Gas—The haunts of the wealthy are alone a ^ eniMted ; wbifo the poor man g » p * . hi * w > 7 In darkness frem the boundary between represented and unrepresented dominion . All improvements are turned to the advantage of the represented classes ; and are a downright tax upon the industrious .
Again , again , and again , bear in mind , that all those who do not choose to occupy land would be benefitted by the employment in agriculture of those who would willingly adopt it , inasmuch as the value of their labow would be enhanced . Leech , it will be long , very long , before we meet for the necessity of holding my forefinger and thumb , and my tongue in quietness and silenee , wm take from the other poor victims all chance of relief , which the birth of a royal babe might otherwise confer . But , be the time kmg or short , I will return
to you unbroken in epirit , with nerve unshaken by oppression , » nd with resolutien unchanged by persecution . Till then , bear in mind , thatl never have accepted , and that I never will accept of place , pension , or emolument from anypligarcblcal Government , and that Iheverhaveaccepted , andl never will accept of one penny in return for any aid which I can render to the cause of liberty and democracy . I will stand by you to the last , until I pull down the temple of corruption , and in its stead , build a tower of liberty , surmounted with the , cap of liberty .
When you bear of the middle classes joining you , ask whether the ocean shall run to the stream , or the stream to the ocean . Ask whether Mahomet shall come to the mountain , or the mountain move to Mahomet I have shown that the only new channel to be opened for the employment of those who Bhall be displaced by machinery in the land ; who can point out any other 7 l nave shown that by one night ' s improvement , thousands may awake to be looked upon as overpopulation .
I have shown that , apart from oppression and usurped restrictions , the land , one-fifteenth of it , devoted to its best purpose , would relieve the market of the unwilling idlers . I have shown that a standing army , rural police , heavy jjocal expenses , and much magisterial oppression , is , and must be , kept up to continue and support this unnatural state of things . I have shown that Parliaments must remain more corrupt even in the present form of representation , than if liberality in Members waa encouraged and fostered by corresponding liberality in the press . I have , above all , shown by practice what one organ can effect in the political world .
When I am no more the Northern Star will form a prominent feature in the history of our times .

The Case Of Robert Peddie.
THE CASE OF ROBERT PEDDIE .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . 8 iR ,-At a meeting , which I had the honour to address , held m the Watt Institution , Dundee , on the 17 th of August , a communication waa read to the meeting from Mrs . Peddie , of Edinburgh , enclosing a petition from her husband , Robert Peddie , one of the Chartist sufferers incarcerated in BeTerley GaoL The cruelties inflicted upon Peddie are most atrocious and must fire with indignation the breast of every honest man who has read or listened to the statements ol bis petition . My former opinion of Peddie is well known to the readers of the Star . That opinion ( shared in common with many othera ) was erroneous , as facts have since iroved .
I can only say that I feel bound to express my deep regret , that , through erroneous impressions , I was led to do that which might—which may have Injured Peddie , and prevented the Chartist body extending that sympathy and support to him which has been awarded to others . To err is human . The duty of an honest man is , havmg discovered his error , to make reparation ; for such purpesa I write this letter , sincerely hoping that something may be speedily done to direct public attention to the case of Peddie , with a view to obtain at least , a mitigation of the cruel treatment to which he is subjected .
The men of Dundee have commenced a subscription in behalf of Peddie ; trusting that their example will be followed by the Chartists of other places , I enclose my mite as a contribution towards any fund that may be raised for tiie help of this victim of Whiggery . i lament that I have not the means to contribute as I could wish to have done . I am , Sir , your obedient servant , George Julian Harney . Dunfermline , August 25 , 1810 .

REVIVAL OF CHARTISM . ONE HUNDRED FEARGUS O'CONNORS FOR ONE . To the Editor of the Sun . Sir , —The Whigs say they have " put Chartism down . " I wish soma of them would take a tour incog throughout this district ; they would soon perceive their error . The Chartists , far from being put down , are once more arousing in their might The procession formed to welcome Collins and M'Douall into Manehester , ( which the Guardian calls a « rather numerous crowd ) , consisted of at least 5 , 000 persons , besides thousands and tens of thousands who accompanied it There were four bands of music , and nearly fifty beautiful flags and banners . Rochdale has likewise given M'Douall and Collins a triumphal entry .
MWdleton does the same to-day . Leeds , Bradford , Bolton , York , and nearly a dozen other places , are likewise going to have processions and dinners . The National Charter Association , into which all other Associations have been merged , will commence their labours by sending out ten or a dozen missionaries into the agricultural districts . A general system of organisation and classification is to be carried < wt through the country . Each town is to be divided into wards each county into districts , and a Council of seven are to conduct the whole machinery . Manchester ia to be the head quarters at present A feather Bhows how the wind blows , and the following circumstance will sho )? the feelings of the people : —Feargus O'Connorin a
, letter from York Castle , desired the working men to name their children after him , and the other leaden of the Chartista . The people have complied with this request , and hundreds of children , both male and female , have been christened Feargus O'Connor , Collins , Vincent , &c * c . If our Governors were wise , they would leam something from these slight things . He shows you what an effect the liberation of Collins and M'Douall has had in rousing the people , i may add , that the Northern Star of lost Saturday contains a report of no less than twenty-eight meetings Held in every part of the country . The Whigs will discover when too late , that persecution will not extinguish truth and righteousness .
I am your obedient servant , A Chartist . P . S . —Universal Suffrage , and no surrendeu is oue motto stili Sun ( Wednesday . )

WHAT IS THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL DOING ? To the Chartists of the United Kingdom of Great Britain . We , the Members of the Provisional Executive Council answer : — We are watching , with cool deliberation , those passing eventa which are , in reality , the only true signs of the times . We have been waiting anxiously for an opportunity to show to the public that we are not Bleeping on oar posts . You have , through your delegates , placed us in a position which we can only show we are fit to occupy by exhibiting a line of conduct marked with wisdom and decision . We must not act prematurely , neither dare we let the goldea opportunity which now presents itself pass by , of throwing ourselves at once before the country . Well , then , here we are , ready to act , and , acting , ready to prove that we are , as far as our bumble abilities extend , determined to deserve the confidence of the people , and the respect , although accompanied with the hatred , of the people ' s oppressers .
But , remember , friends , you have also great and important duties to perform ; duties which you must perform -well , too , or we are powerless . We , the Members of the Provisional Executive Council , were appointed by the delegates on the 23 rd of July , 1840 . Now it is your business to confirm those appointments , and furnish us with the means of aeting . Go , then , and do your part towards completing the good work . Enrol your names , nominate your officers , and transmit a list of the same , in alphabetical order , with your subscriptions , to theBub-treasurer , in order that we may appoint the same , and be enabled to issue cards of membership as Boon as possible .
Friends and Fallow-eountrymen , more especially those brave and unflinching patriots who have suffered in the righteous cauBe , and feel determined still to go on agitating , we call upon you most emphatically to give your every aid to the plan of agitation agreed on by the country at large , through their representatives . Let everything calculated to produce division be at once abandoned as impolitic and prejudicial to the general good ; sacrifice , with patriotic generosity , your own private opinions or plans , upon the altar of public opinion , which is , indeed , the only true altar of
freedom . Be careful that the enemy sees no more weak places , no more divisions in our camp . Our cause is sacred : let it be hallowed with brotherly love , and unanimity of sentiment , simultaneous act ion , and determined perseverance , the best proofs tha t can be given that we are indeed a united people . Be np and stirring ; fill your minds with the most exalted feeling of your nature . Remember Frost , Williams , Jones , O'Connor , and the rest of the suffering martyrs to the cause of freedom . Lovett , Collins , and M'Douall are again with us , more than ever confirmed ia the lore of liberty .
Do you , then , do your duty with the like alacrity , and soon the polar star of freedom shall shine resplendant o ' er our land , never more to be eclipsed by the dark mists of barbarian class legislation . James Leach , Chairman . Wh . Tillman , Secretary . P . S . —For the better despatch of business , it is desired that all communications to the Executive Council , in futnre , be sent to the Secretary , at No . 2 , Collinsstr eet . Stratford New-road , Manchester . All letters are to be answerd by return of post , and the receipt of monies acknowledged every fortnight , through the medium of the Star .

TRu PROPRIETOR OF THE NORTHERN LIBERATOR , MR . JOHN BELL , AND THE CHARTER ASSOCIATION . At the meeting of the Provisional Council of the Charter Association , last Tuesday evening , after the class leaders had paid in their weekly subscriptions , a discussion took place as to the best means of getting the out-districts organised , when it was agreed to let it Btand over until next week . In answer to a question from a Councillor , the Sfecretary said that he had writen a letter to the Provisional Committee , through Abel Hey wood , of Manchester , and that he had enclosed the Bum of £ 10 ; but that he had received no answer yet . What was the reason he could not tellas he
re-, quested an answer by return of post . Mr . John Bell ' s case was then brought before the Council . It appears , from the conversation that took place , that Mr . Bell , after he was liberated on Saturday last , went to the Northern Liberator Offic , and told Mr . Henry Gibb , the present proprietor of that paper , after they had complimented each other , that he would be able to start work on Monday . Mr . Gibb answered that he had no room for him ; so that , after suffering six months' imprisonment for that Office , he is left in the world without one half-penny . It was then moved , and carried unanimously , that the committee wait upon Mr . Qibb , to try to get Mr . Bell replaced in his situation .
The Committee , previous to waiting on Mr . Gibb , forwarded to that gentleman a letter , of which the following is a copy : — " Newcastle , August 26 , 1840 . ' Dear Sir , —I am directed by the Provisional Committee of the Charter Association to request you to attend at yonr office at half-past seven o ' clock this evening , on very important business " I am , yours , "JOHir Hall , Secretary "ToMr . H . Gibb , " Northern Liberator Office , Newcastle . "
The deputation waited on Mr . Gibb , in pursuance of the resolution , when the f jllowing conversation took place : — Mr . Mason to Mr . Gibb— Sir , we , the Provisional Committee , met last night , in due course , on the business of the ' National Charter Association , ' when the treatment of Mr . John Bell , came under the consideration of the committee , and , in pursuance of a resolution , we have deemed it our duty both to Mr . Bell , and to the character of the Liberator , to wait on you to ascertain the reasons why Mr . Bell has been refused his situation , having sacrificed his liberty , and suoh Bituation , in the performance of his dutieB , as a fore-man in the Liberator Offioe . " Mr . Gibb— " First let me know who sent you here . ' ; Mr . Mason— " The Provisional Committee of the the National Charter Association . "
Mr . Gibb— You may do as you like . Are you master , or am I ( master !" Mr . Mason— ' It is impossible that we can be masters . " Mr . Gibb— " You will allow me to employ my men ; I will not be dictated to . " Mr . Mason— We do not desire to dictate to you . We are ouly desirous of knowing the reasons why you have refused Mr . Bell his situation , when he was sacrificed for the interest of the Liberator Establishmint , as well as for our cause t " Mr . Gibb— I have reasons of my own that I will tell to nobody . " Mr .

HORRID MURDERS NEAR KNUTSFORD CHESHIRE . One of the most diabolical murders we evor heard of took place near Knutsford , CheshireJ on Monday night last , on the persons of an aged and harmless couple , named Cooke , who were in rather easy circumstances . The villain actually deprived them of life by means of an axe , or hatchet , with which the poor creatures' brains were beaten out , and their heads and parts of their bodies were chopped in the most barbarous manner . It appeared that the unhappy victims were respectively between sixty and seventy years of age , and , having a little property , had , retired , in their latter days , toasmall farm house at Over Peover , a small township on the road ftom Knutsford to Macclesfteld . The house was in fact diverged from the iturnpike road some distanr .,. » n ^
may be said to be lonely , being above 100 yards from any house , and in a bye-lane . A ' shippon formed part of the premises , a cow was kept , and the only inmate With them in their house was a little girl , named Rebecca Morgan , aged sixteen . She slept in the back room , and Cooke and his wife occupied the front chamber . The old man waa an eccentric character , and from some recent difference he had had with some relative , as to the fate of some trust property which Cooke had invested in security , he became very reserved in his domestic enjoyments ; and would never invite any person into his house . It was also believed that he was in the possession of money and other valuable documents affecting eome property belonging to the familv ! and
aittwusu be and aw wife were generally early sisers , they invariably retired to rest between eight and nine oxlock at night 6 On Monday evening , Mr . and Mre . Cooke retired to their chamber soon after eight o ' clock , aa did the servant girl ; and about ten o ' clock some one tapped at the front window with a pikel . Mr . Cooke opened the window , and seeing that it was some person whom h « knew , he put on his trousers and went down stairs , and ( what was very unusual ) gave him admittance . It cannot be told whether any conversation was entered upon between the party or any quarrel resulted ; but almost immediately after ' wards Cooke was Btruck with someweapon . andhe fell , erying aloud for help Upon this alarm , the poor old lady , slightly / ttired , rushed dowa stairs , when the monBter also fell her to the earth ; and , fallina upon some earthenware , she made suoh a noise that the girl was awakened from her Bleep . Shethenheard
her ^ mistress struggling and erying for help and " Murder ; " and heard her dwtinotly say to he husband . " Joseph , can ' t you strike light , "little BUSpasting that he was a corpse ; and that she was doomed by the villain soon to follow him to eternity . The old man was never heard to speak again * and the monster , after rifling Cooke ' s pockets , and finding Mrs . Cooke still alive , returned to his bloody work , and , with another blow with the axe upon the head , terminated her existence , and prevented recognition . It is remarkable that during this horrid tragedy . The savage had no light with him . He then , in the dark , deliberately proceeded to break open all the cupboards and desks , in the house in Bearch of plunder andipapers , numbers of which had evidently been selected and left on one side . He next went upstairs and continued his search for money , and , as it iwould appear , for documents ; in the course of which he entered the servant's room ]

she htving in the utmost terror , endeavoured to oonceal herself amongst the curtains . As the murderer advanced , she was enabled clearly to notice that his figure was tall ; and the light through the window , moreover , enabled her to decide that he was dressed in black . He walked to the side of the bed , then to the top , then to the bot-. om , and back again to the top , as though he thought the girt waa in bed , and intended to add a thira viotim to this bloody performance . Appearing to have satisfied himself that he was the only living goal in the house , he retired down stairs , threw his murderous weapon carelessly upon the table , and escaped by the back door , through the garden , where the imprint of the foot . . .
ia small one ) was distinctly observable the following morning . In an awful state of anxiety , the servant girl remained congratulating herself upon her providential escape . At three , nature overcame her , and she fell aBleejpl till five o ' clock , when she ventured down stairs , 1 t ' Mflft * . quite light , and there beheld a spectacle which it is not possible to describe . She ran and fetched a neighbour , a brother-in-law of Cooke ' s . Cooke _ was upon his beUy , with both his arms outstretched ; a frightful wound was upon the right side of his head , and his brains were protruding , and the lower part of his face was driven in . The pool ? woman was lyin « in a pool of blood , which was literallv runninir through
the back kitchen into the garden . One sido of her face-was quite beaten in with the blunt end of the axe ; her left wrist was nearly chopped off ; and her right arm was dreadfully out , as though she had struggled determinedly . Several broken basons and flower-pots ( against which Mrs . Cooke had fallen ) were found upon the floor , being those which had aroused the girl . A messenger was instantly dispatched to Mr . Harper , the Bpecial high constable , at Lynn ; and the necessary enquiries were instituted for discovering the perpetrators of these horrid crimes . An empty purse , which had been taken out of the house , was foumd in Knutsford church-yard . Oh examining Cooke ' s secretaire more minutely , there were found in an inner drawer five sovereigns , though , there ie no doubt that the villain has possessed himself of a considerable sum of money . There is some hope that the murderer will be found out ; bit we do not feel justified , at this stage of the matter .
to say more , though , whoever he may be , he has marks of blood about him , as stains , in large quantities , remain upon the walls , the dock , and upon a fall-down table , under which Mr . Cooke had crawled and died . The servant girl , Rebecca Morgan , seems to be an object of great curiosity ; and the visits of parties indiscriminately has become suoh an annoyance , that the Rev . Mr . Bush , the curate of Knutsford Church , has taken her into his establishment for the present . The house continues to be visited by all classes ; and whatever may be the result of the iuquiries , it is quite clear that the murderer was a person well known to Cooke , or he would not have been admitted into the house ; and , besides , the axe and pikel had both been fetched from a convenient shelf in the shippon , and where no person except one well acquainted with the habits of the family , and the peculiarities of the premises , could have found them .
MANCHESTER . Ancient Foresters . —The members of the Court Mount Sinai , No . 25 , held their anniversary at brother Edward Fprd ' s King ' s Arms , on the 17 th instant , when a plentiful dinner was provided on the occasion , and the members and their friends gave ample proof of the love they bear to the good old English fare of roast beef , &c . The district C . R ., ana district secretary honoured them with their presence . After the cloth was withdrawn , the Court-room was thrown open , when the emblems of
the Order , interspersed with laurel , ivy , dahlia , rose , and other beautiful varieties of the flower garden , were hung in groups and festoons in different parts of the room . Brother Joseph Merrideth was then called te the chair , and brother John Davies to the vice ohair ; after brother Peter Ellams had been presented with a piece of silver plate , and a variety of toaats and sentiments and some very good singing ; which was kept up until past the 'witching hour of night , ' the company then separated , each one highly gratified with the evening ' s entertainment .
CASUSLE . Pcblic Meeting in tub Theatre . —On Friday evening , the 21 st instant , a public meeting was announced for Saturday evening , by large placards , to take into consideration the present critical state of the nation ; on which occasion Charles Attwood , Esq ., of Newcastle , will address the meeting on the state of our foreign policy . Mr . Cardo , of London , will also address the meeting . At seven o'clock the Theatrb was crowded to excess , when , on the motion of Mr . Joseph Broom HanBon , Mr . James Arthur , bookseller , was unanimously called to the cnair . After reading the placard calling the meeting , ho introduced Mr . Attwood , who Bpoke nearly two honra in a most energetic Btrain of eloquence ,
exDOsmg , with a masterly band , the villany and treason of Lord Palmerston , and calling on the people ,- as they valued their country , to save it from the ruin which threatened it—from the treachery and deception of a Foreign Minister . Mr . Attwood was listened to with the most marked attention throughout his very able and interesting address ; and on sitting down was greeted by loud applause . Mr . Joseph Broom Hanson then came forward , and moved the following resolution , which being seconded by Mr . John Mooney , was carried ;— " That this meeting perceives , with alarm and indignation , the interruption of friendly relations between this country and France ; that we consider this interruption to have been brought about by the treasonable
agenoy of our Foreign Minister , in concert with Russia—the secret and common enemy of both countries ; that we regard it as the more dangerous aB being accompanied with an open alliance with that secret foe , whose machinations in almost every region of the globe that Foreign Minister has been for years ostensibly and pretendedly engaged in endeavours to counteract . That we view this alienation of our friends , and alliance with our foe , as equally opposed to the national sympathies , interest , and character , and injurious to the cause of freedom and civilisation ; that we disclaim all participation m the ungenerous insult which has been offered to the brave French people , whom we esteem , and to a Minister who has ever been the advocate of British alliance ?; and that we view with astonishment and with resentment the conduot of the leaders of both factions , and of both Houses Qf Parliament , in allowing the existence of such a state of things .
Wlinout detection of its cause—in reeeiving its denunciation without investigation , and in abandoning their posts and separating at a crisis which has been prepared by treason for the destruction of the country . " Moved by Mr , Henry Bowman , and seconded by Charles Attwood , Esq ., and carried unanimously : — " That while we condemn the conduot of Lord Paimeraton and the present Ministers , in regard to their foreign policy , we as strongly condemn them for their domestic polioy , and fed convinced that no real and permanent improvement can possibly take p lace in the condition of the working classes until they obtain the full possession of the People ' s Charter . " Carried with great &ppWe . Mr . John Armstrong then came forward , and in a neat and clever speech moved a vote of thanks to Charles Attwood , Esq ., which being seconded by Mr . Joseph Broom Hanson , was carried with three hearty cheers . sheffield

Thousands ar « annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance .
