      PiOM OITR LOKDO . N C ^ RBBSPOfTDETfT . Thursday Evening , November 26 , COLONEL THOMPSON'S LECTURE ON THE CORN LAWS . List eTeni pg , a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Bermoadscy , Soathwwk , and the vicinity , took place a , t the Ship Tavern , Long-lane , to hear a lecture by Colonel Thompson , on the subject of the Repeal of the Corn Laws . As referred to , in my communication of yesterday , there was a ssroug muster of the friend 3 of the Charter ; but apon our arrival , the proceedings had already commerced , and we uEtbnunatelj * missed the particulars of an arrangement whereby , as

      afterwards appeared , it was agreed that the Gallant Colonel should deliver hi 3 lecture in the first place , and then reply to any questions that xnisht be put to him by any of the meeting . The lecture was , as Colonel Thompson's discourses osuaUy aTe , eloquent , closely-argued , aud interesting ; it was received throughout with every mark of sati ^ faciion , and repeatedly elicited unanimous toke ; is of approval . W ^ en , however , it was concluded , and the Colonel came to fulfil the "condition " before aliudrd to , of answering quesiions , aud discussing points , that which before had been instructive and entertaining , became , by comparison , doll

      ana monotonous . > Ir . Browne , in a speech replete with good sense , sound judgment , and unquestionable lo ^ ic , combatted the docmne winch the Gallant Colonel had laid dovm in his lecture , that the working class would be benefitted by a Repeal of ihe Coru Laws , in propor-¦ tior : as the manufactures of ihis country -were increased ^ ihe lecturer had argued most admirably for oue oftaa class who had something to export in exchange for foreign corn ; but to apply the fame rule to the working classes , wa- ? , in hi 3 opinion , fallacious , because there was other labour besides living labour ; and one of the first effects of the Corn Laws would be to set in motion an immense amount of machinery , tba : at present lies dormant , or is hut partially in operation . But an eloquent lecturer oa this subject

      hau lately told them in this very room , that he had no ' icpe of getting a repeal , and why , because the voice of the whole people is not heard " in tiie Comnr-n :- ' House of Parliament . ( Hear , Hear . ) Now that was a most cogeut rea ? on for their endeavouring to o ' jiaa UniTersal Suixrage —( cheer : ?) ;—acd as he ha- ' i never heard of two hares being hunted at one tiler , and either of them being caught , and a- , those ¦ wh o now held : he franchise- had the army , the navy , and ths Government ef the country , in * their posse .- ion , his advice to the working classes was , that they should listen to no so phistry , from whosoever it m ; eht come—to no Jailacies , by whomsoever they inieht be propounded , but stick fast to their Charter , ( Deafening applause . ) He had a resolution in bis pocket , which he meant to submit to their consideration

      The CHAiRiLO here interrupted the speaker . They had assembled , he said , for the purpose of oousideriBg the question 01 the Com Laws , and akaougn Colonel Thompson had consented to _ r .-ply to any question that mi ^ ht be put to him , he ( the Chairman ) would not consent to the introduction of any other subject . This- declaration cau j -d considerable uproar , which lasted for several mir . ^ ies ; ; be d-. iernxiitfinon of the meeting to have the resolution r ^ -ad , was most unequivocally expr-s-ed ; wiereupun the C : iairmau consulted with Col . Thompson , who said he had no objection to the reading of the resolution , if the meeting wished it ; so the Chairman took the 3 ense of the meeting , as to

      • whemcr it should be read , aad eventually Mr . Browne-was permuted to read it ; which he did , am -i rhe el >~ : e :-: husiasiic cheenug from threefour ::.- of : he vittiii . g , and persevering , hi .-= ing , and groaning rrom the other porrion . It would be useless to aueicpi to depict the scene that ensued , on novas rheaioptun ui * this resoluuon : ejaculations of " VWii earrr ; he repeal icuhoiUjvu . ' " Yoa'Ii never sjer it . " 41 Give us me Cnarter *> " Y « u won ' t tr : e .-. us 2 ^ iin as you did with the Reform Bill ;" -and some sores of similar exclamaiionms , resounded from all parts of the meeting . The Chairman , however , succeeding in restoring order ; and the resolution was a ^ ain read , in comparative -Hence : —

      " KesolTed—That , in the opinion of this meeting , ii is u " . it _ r ; y ur-srlcss to expect a repeal of ihe Com Laws a ? the H-juse ef Commou if at pres » ut constitated ; therefore , -we ¦ will not take ran in any movement , or agitate for anything short of the Charter or Universal Suffrage , -whereby the power will be placed in the hand A Ae peeple to repeal the Corn Lairs , as well as * cy other be I la-srs . " ( Load and continued cheering . ) . Mr . CpiiEX , in a brief but effective speech , seconded ihe resolution . A gentleman , whose name did no : transpire , and which we cuuld not learn , put some qi . e-nons to Col . Thomoson , as to the quantity of land capable of c-uhiTation and improvement on this country Are : here not , he wiihcJ to know , se-venty-sevtn miihuns , and upwards , of siaiute acres of land in England , of which lortv-seven millions are in

      a state oi semi-cultivation vniy , wn : le tne remiining thiriy milPcoa were laying idle , though one hah are susceptible of a high stale of cultivation ] Arcthere not also equal to six millions of mechanical power now dormant in this country , and would this not , ii the swent of a repeal ef the Corn Laws , be brought in : o play to supersede manual labour 1 ( Hear , h ? ar . ) Coi _ Thompson replied— "LeS it be proved that thohj creased quantity of coir canoe got in this country , by is being get ; but it is because we have it not , that we require the freedom of foreign trade . " Citizen George , a veteran Reformer of three quarters of a century , ( being upwards of eighty year ? - of age ) was about to address the meeting ; ' but so great was their impatience to decide the fate of the resolution , that the old gentleman s&i down , and

      The Chairman , after another speech , expressive of his regret that he should be compelled , in the impartial discharge of his duty ,- to put a resolution upon a totally different subject to that for which they had assembled , took the sense of the meeting on Mr . Browne ' s resolution ; "which was carried by an overwhelming majority , backed with three hearty cheers . Kot a moment elapsed after the subsiding of these plaudit ? , before " a vote of thanks to the gallant Colonel for his lecture" wa 3 proposed by one of ths

      gentlemen on the Aati-Corn Law Committee ; and the assembly , as if to testify that the victory they bad had just obtained was solely one of principle , and that their respect for Col . Thompson , as a friend of ihe people , remained undiminished , carried the proposition by unanimous acclamation . The Colonel briefly returned thank 3 for the opinion expressed ; % vote of rr . ajitra to the Chairman -was carried pro jorma (\) and then three more shouts were called for , for " Feargus O'Connor j" which being given , with " no mistake at all , " the assembly dispersed in excellent order .

      The Whigs at theih Dibtt Work agaln . — \ Mr . Hetherington has tnis day received notice from the Treasury to attend to-morrow in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , to " strike , "' ( as it is t « chni- caiiy termed ) a Special 'Jury , for the purpose ; of trying Mm on a Crown indictment , for having : sold a copy of " Hasiam ' s , Letters to the Clergy ; 'j for which work , it will be recollected , Mr . Cleave j ¦ was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and j £ 2 £ ) fine , though after remaining in gaol six weeks , ! the remainder of his term of imprisonment was ! remitted , ( but the fine aud securities were rigidly ! exacted ); while Heyvfood , of Manchester , the ?

      printer and publisher , escaped scot-free . Tin-1 man who woula insinuate that Mr . Heywood or any other man ought to be punished for the pro-1 mulgation of an opinion , must be a fit instrument for tyranny to work upon ; but , surely , if the original publisher be allowed to eseape with impunity , it is rather left ha >* ded justice , even for a Whig Ministry , to attempt to persecute subsidiary publishers . If Mr . Hetberington be brought to trial , after the exposition of partiality in the other cases , public opinion ough : to be bo manifested , that the mockery of law and justice should be rendered apparent to the meanest capacity in the empire .

      ZiEEDSi Pe > tt Postage . —One of the attendants on the Penny Postage system is the numerous devices and designs for letter covers it has given rise to , and of all these we haye hitherto seen , the neatest and most useful is the one now lying before qb , published by Mr . Dyson , 146 , Kingsland-road , London . A most tastefully ornamented device incloses the space for the direction ! a shield in the upper part displays the motto " Knowledge is power , " and the inscription ** People ' s Charter . " ** Toe people will not rejoice at the birth of a princess while their friends linger in exile , and themselves are tlaves ; " and on divers waves and spaces round the limits of the design , are inscribed , at full , the six points of the Charter , dosing in the inner circle with Liberty for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all political prisoners . "

      Dinnebto Mr . O'Connell in Leeds . —The Dublin Pilot of Monday contains a correspondence between Mr . Hamer Stansfeld , of Leeds , and Mr . O'CounelL the former giving , and the latter accepting , an invitation to a dinner of 6 , 000 Reformers of all classes in Leeds . Detention of the South Mail and Railway Accident . —On Wednesday , the mail train from London did not arrive in Leeds until a quarter past eleven o ' clock—three houre beyond its usual time of arrival . On enquiry into the cause , we ascertained that the train was delayed an hour and a half near Derby , by a bridge which was broken down a day or two ago , as reported in another partof this sheet ; when the train arrived at Normanton , 8 miles from Leeds , and at the Junction of the Leeds & Manchester

      Railway with the . North Midland , the points were set for tbetrain proceeding on its route to Leeds . Ic appears , liowevea , that the engine and tender , in passing over the moveable point , had , by their motion , opened it so as to allow the next carriage to run between it , thus sending the carriages upon one line , while the engine and tender were upon the other . As was to be expected , the carriages were dragged off the rails and upset . Fortunately none of the passengers received any injury . The Railway Post Office , and two of the passeagers' carriages belonging to the train , were broken . The manner in which this accident occurred will point out to railway directors the necessity of having a person when a train is passiiig overprints , te stand at the lever which is used to open them , to prevent their beiDg shaken loose by the motion of the carriages .

      bouTH Ward ( Leeds District ) National Charter Association . — A public meeting will take place in this Ward , on Tuesday evening next , at eight o ' clock , in ths lar ^ e and commodious room of the Grove Iun , Camp Field , when it is expected that several fr iends will be present from other Wards to address the meeting . It is requested that all members and friends of the Charter will be pre-eut , and show that they really are desirous of b : itering their condition , and : hat of their suiT-ring countrymen by enrolling themselves members oi' ilris scciety .

      BRADFORD . Housebheaking —On Monday night last , the house of Mr . Wood , of Heaton , was broken into by a gang of six or seven mt-n who were at the time disguised , some having their faces blackened and the remainder wearing marks . Two of the desperadoes scood over Mr . Wood aud his wife , ( who were in bed at the time ) with pistols , whilst tho remainder ransacked the house . From what we can karii about £ 8 10 s . was obtained in money , besides other articles . It appears that the robbers have been disappointed as to the amount of their booty , MrJWood having formerly been in the habit of receiving his rents on

      that day ; but either through the poverty of his tenants , or otherwise , it Lad been deferred . Whilst writing , we are informed that two of the robbers have been apprehended , and have civen the names of four others , who , no doubt , will shortly be in custody . The two persons in cu .-iody are said to reside within a short distance of the place of robbery . DODSWORTH AND CUFF BRIDGE NATIONAL CHARter Association . —This society had it 3 weekly meeting at the usual place , on Mor . day last . The council business bcin ^ tjone through , a di-cussion took p l ace on the qualification of members ; after which , the meetiug concluded in harmony .

      ROCHDALE . Mr . Sharhan Crawford and the Chartists . — In order to have a proper understanding between ihis gentleman and the Chartists , the latter cahed a public meeting , acd e ectcii and empowered a deputation to wait upon him , in order to ascertain his opinions upon various and important questions now before the public ; and a public mttting was called in the Association Room tor the pnrpo = e of hearing a report from the depura- ioa . Mr . Lin ^ ey was called to the chair , und gave tho foliowin ;; as to the interview with the g- - -ntk-niau in question : —First Question - " Would you have voted for the People ' s Charter going into Committee , had you been a Member of the Parliament a : that time I" Answer :

      — 1 should most unquestionably have voted for its going into Comnrttee , a : d would have tak-:. part m discussing the measure . " St-cond— " is it a fact that you assis-red in drawn- <; up the document called the Peo ? le " s Ch :. rter ! ' Answer— " 1 wa 3 not one of those persons present , but gave my sanction to the principles before giving up my p . ace in Parliament . " Third— " Would yoa , ii requested by the people , in the same manner a ^ Messrs . Fieldci : and Attwood were , have moved or seconded a measur ? contemplating thp < i ^ c :: s .: on o ! the People's Charter ? " Answer— ' - 1 shou'i imt have hesitated for one moment . " Fourih— " Will you vote ior an addre-s praying for a ^ . - ner ;! amnesty to all political pri ... iit-rs , and mor > - fartk-ularlv the return of Fro ^ t , w'ili' ^ ins , an < i Joue ^ f" Answer- '

      " I would not pi- dge myself ; but , be it undar-tood , I will endeavour , by all possible means , to r-.-tore them to their homes , inasmuch as I consider fhem to be the oupes < . > f the preser . ; Ministry , they having applied the sair . e means themselves for the purpose of acquiring place and power . " The Northern Star was then referred to , and Mr . Crawford stated that he had been entirely misrepresented and misreported b y the Morning Chronicle . There were many things which apptareJ in thit paper that he had n ^ ver said , and many of the most essential parts of his speech had been entirely left out , which would have made it another thing altogether . There were no le *? than eight reporters present , and everyone was different to the Chroni . !<>; the ot-er

      seven , in his oDinion , were correct . T : iis had b ' . cn the means of leading the Editor of ihe XorUwrn i Star astray . He knew the proprietor of tha : paper i when in the Hons ° of Commons , and no man could possibly bo more honest than he wa * . He knew j him both as a public man and as a private man , atid he was constrained to say he was an honourable man aud a gentleman , aud he had too much faith in Feargus O'Connor to think him g'lihy , or even capable of doing him injustice , or of wilful iy misrepresenting his views . He totally disavowed ihe report in the Morning Chronicle , which said tiiat he was grateful to the ilinistry for the boons couierred upon Ireland . He theu Tead the report of tho .-ame meeting from another paper , " which differed very materially from the one in the

      Chronicle-After the meeting had heard this , they appeared to be highly satisfied with the answers and the explanations upon various other topics , and passed a resolution on the part of the Chartist Association , to the effect that he is worthy of the support of the Chartists of Rochdale , and that they will do all in their power to accomplish his return at the next election . They then adjourned to the large meeting , which had been called for the purpose of hearing him publicly , in a large foundry , which was completely crammed . The building is supposed to hold abont four thousand . Mr . John Petire being called to the chair , introduced Mr . Crawford , who was received with a burst of enthusiastic cheering . He commenced by shewing the many evils which exist

      at the present time , all of which were caused , he said , entirely by class legislation . He was for a repeal of the Corn Laws and the New Poor Law , and for allowing freedom of conscience in religion , and for every sect to support its own preachers . While he thought every industrious man should be entitled to the suffrage , he would have it under regulations which would hinder the idle from swamping their efforts , and this he would do by limiting the franchise to those only who had resided for a cer ™ tain time in the town for which he claimed his vote . Although he would have Household Suffrage if he oould get it , yet he would never be contented until it be Universal . ( Loud cheers . ) He said that he knew Feargus O'Connor to be a gentleman both in

      the House of Commons and out of it . No man had Toted more honestly thsn he had . He continued his remarks upon Feargus O'Connor for some time , praising him in the highest degree , amid the rapturous cheers of the audience . He next said that ne thought that if the Editor of the Star had not been led astray , he would not have made such assertions as he had . He would , in order to * pnt the public right in th&t respect , read a true version of the speech which he delivered at the meeting in Ireland . It was preceded by the following resolutions : — " That they only are free who are governed by no laws but those to which they assent , either by themselves in person , or by their representatives . " " That freedom 18 the indefeasible birthright of Irishmen and Britons , derived from the Author of their being , of which do power on earth—much less a delegated power—ham a right to deprive them . " His sBeech

      was as follows : — I contend for this principle , and I cod tend that the establishment of the franchise , upon a proper foundation , is the only means of establishing that great principle . It should be extended upon a new model , and give every man and class in the state their due influence in making the laws . My Lord , it is necessary that persons who wish to promote the liberty of ^ ute people should conciliate each other . It is necessary that each individual should not be tenacioife , but that he should giro and take with other Reformers . " The speaker oootinued for some time longer , and sat down amid the eheers of the assembly . It was then carried . * That William Sfcarman Crawford is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parliament . ' , Three cheers were then gjvenlbr Feargus O'Connor , which made the welkin rinjf ; three for Sharman Crawford , and a rote of thanks to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up .

      BOZ . TOK . Boltok Charter Association . —On Monday evening , a meeting of the above Association was held at the Temperance Hotel , Newport-street , for the purpose of electing a member for the County Council , Mr . J . Anderson in tne chair . The following members were put in nomination : —Messrs . Richard Marsdan , late M . C , John Garner , John Lowe , and Daniel Diggle . The election took place by ballot , and , after an examination of votes , Mr . R . Marsden was declared duly elected . It was then agreed that 10 s . be allocated from the funds towards defraying the expences of the district lecturer , Mr .

      Leech . The Chairman then gave an account of the proceedings of the committee appointed by the working and middle classes with a view to a coalition ; the substance of which was , that the committee on the part of the reformers , offered to unite with the Chartists in publicly demanding for the working classes their political rights , on the principles laid down in the People's Charter , as the best means of removing the grievances under which all labour , provided that the Chartists would agree to substitute " Enfranchisement of the working olasses" for " Universal Suffrage , " and " Short" for Annual " Parliaments . The Chairman stated that as the

      Committee on the part of the Chartists had no power to assent to or dissent from these conditions , it was for the meeting to come to a resolution on the subject . After a very temporary aud orderly discussion of about two hours'duration , in which the several speakers expressed their fixed and unalterable attachment to the People ' s Charter , and their determination to adhere to it in th ) letter as in the spirit —and after recalling the recollection of the meeting to the many tricks , shams , and deceits practised on

      the working men by the middle classes to obtain their own ends , a resolution was agreed to nem . con . to the following effect : — " Tiiat we hereby pledge ourselves not to unite with any class or party for the attainment of any measure by which the principles and expressions contained in the People's Charter should bo deviated from . " After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , who expressed his satisfaction of the orderly manner of the evening ' s proceedings , the meeting broke up at a quarter to eleven , amidst cheers for O'Connor and the Charter .

      HALIFAX . New Zealand Chief . —Mr . Burns , from the " land o' cakes , " lectured in the Odd Fellows' Hall , in this town , on Monday and Tuesday evenings last . He left his home some years ago , and time , the discloser of future event * , by some means or other , sent h ; m amongst the tribts of New Zealanders , with whom he ^ ot on terms of intimacy , and ultimately got made a chief . Being determined to mark him for their own , and having initiated him into thiir secrets , the ceremony of tatooing him was i nsisted on , to which he submitted ; and now his frontispiece gives evidence , which even faithless Thomas would almost consider demonstration to

      show that some one had taken great pains to make a chief of him . Ho described the manners , customs , and wedding ceremony of the native Indians , with the mauner of their rejoicing , and how they act when sorrowful . His object appears to be that of encouraging emigration to those parts , with a view of serving the interests of those individuals who are trying to establish a colony in that country . Should they succeed in establishing ono by natives from these parts , perhaps the original natives may take it into their heads to have them tatooed some day or other , in imitation of their representative Bent over here , arid make chiefs of them all ; or if occasion serve , a sacrifice might be required , and a part , fall in for victims .

      KEIGHLEY . Harrison , the Spy . —The Petty Sessions , which took place on Wednesday last , excited more than usuil interest , in consequence of the expected trial of several beersellers , the intended victims of Harrison , the Bradford spy , and his accomplices . Mr . Clarkson , solicitor , Bradford , attended on tho part of the beersellers , and Mr . Weir , of the same p lace , attended for the prosecution . Mr . Clarkson objected to the trials proceeding , in consequence of the absence of Harrison and Sharp , the principal informers , whom Mr . Weir said durst not attend to give evidence , on account of the rough treatment they received at the hands of the crowd on a former occasion . Mr . Ellis , the presiding magistrate , adnutt ^ d the excuse to be quite satistivctory , as he

      Himself had been an eye-witness to the conduct of the inhabitants , while hunting Sharp throughout the the town , and he declared he had never seen anything more outrageous . He was sorry to be again under the necessity of adjourning the trials , as it would cau-e a very serious additional expenco to the becrseilers , but the conduct of the crowd had occasioned it , and the men ( the spies ) really durst not make their appearance . After a &ood deal of consultation about the most convenient time for the magistrates , it was filially agreed upon that the trials should take place at the Bradford Court-house , on Friuny , December the 11 th , at twelve o ' clock at r . o . -n . This arrangement will consequently afford the inhabitants of Bradford an opportunity of agaiu seeing their old and well-known friend , who has already conferred so many favours upon them .

      Knob and Spell . —A match at knor and spell came off on the " 23 d instant , boLween William Barker , of Glusburn , and Gdi Jackson , 'Of Sutton , for a pound a-side . which was won by Barker leadiiig his opponent ten score yards , and averaging nearly eight score for thirty rises . Also , at the same time and place , another match was p layed between Richard Dale , of Cross Hills , and William tjreeu , of that place , for a small prize , given by a landlord , which was won by Dale beating his

      opponent by five score , Dale averaging about nine score each rise for ten rises . An account was given in the Star about a fortnight ago of a match played between Dale and Ellison , which was wou by the lauer . We have , however , been since informed that Dale has beat Ellison three times out of the four already , and would in all probability have beat him the last time also , had not Ellison ' s party brought a quantity of cracked knora into the field , which they gave to Dale every time he made a failing stroke . —Corre-siJondent .

Abraham Tempest , of Clayton ; the Hall being unoccupied , the thieves finding nothing that could be easily removed , they cut down the kitchen pump as low as they could , thereby taking all the lead , &c . away .

      MIDDLETON . Lecture . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . Charles Connor , late of Leeds , lectured in the Reformers ' Chapel , to a very respectable and attentive audience , on " The evils of class legislation , the enormity of taxation , the unmerited absorption of the revenue , and the rising spirit of liberty throughout the whole earth . " The lecturer painted to the Charter as being the only remedy of the evils under which all classes are labouring . After the lecture a subscription was entered into to defray the expences of a delegate to Manchester on Sunday next . There were a few persons enrolled their names as members of the National Charter Association of Great Britain .

      Burglaries . —Of late there have been several workshops entered into , and scores of yards of sarsnet stolen therefrom . Late on Monday evening , or early on Tuesday morning , Mr . Thomas Taylor , or Higher Boarshaw , near Middleton , had about fifty yards of black plain silk sarsnet taken from his workshop . The police have made an active search after the offenders , but can find no due to them .

      woman , said that sne saw the complainant the night before , aud that he solicited her to go with him to his house , telling her he had no wife ; and that she went with him . When she got into the house , Bhe saw something on the bed ; which , upon close examination , turned out to be a woman , who was dead , and wife to her accuser ! She felt very much alarmed , and told him she wished she was out again , and immediately opened the door and ran off , and did not see him again until she saw him in the Court .

      Ihe magistrates then asked the person whether what she had stated relative to his wife being dead was true ? and were answered in tho affirmative This called down upon his head the execration of a !) present , and the magistrates dismissed the girls and told him to go about his business , and never more bring such a disgraceful transaction into any Court ! John Robinson was next brought up on a charge of disobedience to his master . Mr . Cheetham stated that his apprentices had been in the habit of working from six o ' clock in the morning , till seven at night j but owing to their business coming in chiefly in tho afternoon , he wanted to alter the time from eight o " clock till eight , giving two hours in the morning , and taking one in tho evening . Robinson was the oldest apprentice , and had refused to comply , in constquence of which the others had done the same . Ho had , therefore , brought him up , because he considered him the ringleader .

      Mr . Cobbett argued that as it -was an understanding with the master and apprentice that he would have to work from six till seven , that the master had no right to break that rule now . It was a credit to the young men that they were willing to rise early , instead of lying in bed ; and , besides , it would prevent them from attending those institutions which were only opened at night , and which they could not have the privilege of doing in the morning , even if they were desirous . If the master had a right to alter , contrary to the indenture ,

      one time to another , he could say to his apprentices " You shall work from six © 'clock at night till six in the morning . " It was not fair for Mr . Cheetham to want to compel the young men to work ap hour longer , -without being paid , because , in all packing shops , it was the custom to be busy in the afternoon and evening ; and , if they did not work much in the morning , they had , of course , to make it out in the afternoon and evening . It had been so now with the apprentice Uobinson for six years , which he thought was sufficient to be a general rule and custom . The Magistrates , after a' little consultation , concluded that inquiries should be made whether it was the general custom of the town before they could decide the ' case . He was remanded until Tuesday .

      TO THE TRADES AND THE WORKING MEN GENERALLY OF MANCHESTER , SALFORD , AND THEIR VICINITIES . Fellow-Citizens , —There never was a time in the history of our common country when it was more essential that the working men of all trades should establish a good understanding , and lay a foundation for confidence in each other . Fellow-workmen , it is well known to you that numbers of our countrymen have been , and are , at this time , suffering extreme privations in the various dungeons that they have been consigned to for honestly daring to defend a principle that to them appeared to be not only necessary , but just , and fouuded upon the imperishable laws of nature and nature ' s God ; and intended to free us from the bitter grasp of our oppressors , and place us in a political position that would permanently relieve us from the many burdens that we have been unjustly compelled to bear .

      Men of Manchester , some of those brave patriots have nearly completed their task given them by the Judges of the land , in the shape of a sentence , while others have yet to remain a few months . It follows , aa a matter of importance for us to ask ourselves what can we do for those brave men ? The answer the Committee wish you to give is , that you will support the men and their families who defend and have defended your claims to protection from the legislature of our common country , aud on their liberation , of which proper notice will bo given , that you will assemble in tho u-au < is and join our procession to welcome the persecuted patriots of Manchester and Salford back from their unjust and

      unmerited Buttering , to the bosom of their wives and children , and their native homes . By doing so we shall not only be doing our duty to them , but we shall be setting a bright example to our children by teaching them to bo grateful to those who are deserving of the gratitude and respect of every working man in the empire , and inspiring the youthful mind of our sons and daughters with a ray of hope that yet , alter all , in spite of bolts and bars and dungeons , the People ' s Charter must and shall become the law of the land ; when we shall prove ouraulyes , in both words and actions not to be misunderstood ; that we really are the '' pride and envy of surrounding nations , and the admiration of the world , " aud the friends of peace , happiness , and permanent prosperity , all ovor the world .

      The Manchester prisoners , with the other brave patriots from Asliton , ic , will make their public entry on Christmas D . iy . Proper notice will bb givtn of the time and place to meet them , aud any of the trades who will favour the Committee with a notice of their intentions to join the procession , may obtain all necessary information from the Committee , who meet every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , in tho National Charttr Association Room , Tib-stresjt , near the New Cross . By order of the Committee , Joseph Lin . nky , Chairman , Wm . Bell , Secretary . Committee-room , Tib-street , Manchester . Nov . 23 , 1810 .

      A Hopeful Prospect . —On Wednesday , John Taylor appeared before Mr . Maudo , at the Borough Court , to answer to a warraut which his wife hai ! obtained against him for abuse . Mary Taylor said that she thought he was a little bit jealous of her , and led her a very uncomfortable lilo . Taylor , in his defence , said it was false ; it was not jealousy that caused him to turn her out , but it was for her drunken and dissipated habits . He continued to tell the Court that she drauk all she could j ; et , aud when all her money was gone , she would sell or pawn everything that came in her way . In answer to questions by the magistrates , she said she had been a teetotaller for three years and ten months , but she had broken her pledge lately , and that sho

      would sign the pledge agaiu , if that would satisfy her husband . Mr . Taylor was then asked if he would a

      again to her as to her abstaining from drink . Then , turning to the husband again , said , " Will you try her once more ? " Taylor seemod very reluctant . Mrs . Taylor said , " Now , John , give me another trial , I will be a teetotaller ; and recollect I am the mother of your nine children . " At this Taylor appeared a little touched , and by a little more persuasion of the magistrate , and great promises on the part of the wife , Taylor smilingly said , " Well , I'll try her once more , but I think it's of no use . " Mary then left the wituess-box to take a gentle walk to meet John from the prisoner ' s box , amid the smiles of the court .

      A Sweetheart s Trustworthiness . —On Saturday last , at the Borough Court , a young man was brought before Win . Walker , charged by a very respectable young woman of defrauding -her of £ 1 10 s ., which she bad entrusted to his care , to take to tho Post Office ; but it turned out upon the the evidence of one of the many clerks of the office that the money had never been entered , consequently it could not hare been taken there . She stated that owing to the confidence which she placed iu him , he having paid his addresses to her for a

      considerable time , she was induced to trust him with the money , which was intended to be sent to some relatives at Kidderminster . The prisoner did not deny the charge , but appoared to be very sorry for his conduct . On his road to the post office he called at a public-house , and fell in company with some more men , who were gambling . He joined them , and lost all the money . The magistrate said that he had broken the confidence which his sweetheart had reposed in him , and had acted very deceitfully ; he should , therefore , commit him for three months .

      Frost , Williams , and Jones' Recall . —Wo are happy to state that the Committee for this great « nd important object are making every preparation for the demonstration . On Friday evening last , the Committee met in the Executive Room , Tib-street . Mr . Wm . Smith was called to the chair , and Mr . Carttodge waschoaen secretary in the interim . The following resolutions were submitted and earned unanimously : — " That we recommend the Birmingham Committee for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , to elect as honorary members of their body , James Cartledge , George Cookson , and Wm . Maddocks . " " That a public demonstration take place on New Year ' s Day , 1841 , in favour of the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and tha ; an address be drawn up on the occasion . " The address will appear next week ; no less than four committees were sitting on Sunday last , on different questions .

      F 0 &FAR . Sheriff ' s Court . —Ofl Thursday last , a case of considerable importance to Chartists came on for discussion in the Sheriff Small . Debt Court . The circumstances of the ease is as follovrs;— " Some days previous to the visit of Messrs . Collins and White to Forfar , large placards were issued and posted up through the town , announcing the meetings tHt were to be hold in consequence of the visit of these patriote . No sooner were the bills poated , than they were nearly all tore down , and proof having been obtained that Thomas Carnaby , writer and , political agent for the Tories , had tore one from off the railway bridge , John Adam , secretary of the Universal Suffrage Association , immediately summoned him before the Sheriff , for £ l Ob . 6 < L , being the price of the bills and posting .

      The case came on for trial on the 19 th inat , in a court crowded to suffocation , each party appearing for themselves . Carnaby objected to Adam prosecuting , as the bills were not his private proverty , but , on the contrary , the property of the Chartist Association , a bedy not recognised in law , and were therefore incompetent to bring an action into court . Adam maintained he had so far the right of property in the bills , that he -wrote the bill , carried it to the printer , and carried them a way after being printed , and consequently was responsible to the printer for paying for them , and that the only chance he had of being reimbursed was from a collection at the meeting that Carnaby had maliciously attempted to destroy . The Sheriff decided that Adam had a good title to pursue , and that the mode of

      raising the money to pay the expence of the meeting was perfectly legal . Carnaby then admitted tearing down the bill , and that he did bo for the purpose of sending it to the Lord Lieutenant of the county , he being bound to do so in consequence of holding the office of clerk to the lieutenancy ; that he was enly acting within the proper line of his duty when he gave notice of all such illegal meetings . Adam defended the right of the people to meet at any time for discussing their grievances , and denied the right of the lieutenancy or any of their officers to interfere . The Sheriff stated that Carnaby went far beyond the line ef his duty in tearing down the bill ; as for the meeting keing illegal he knew of no such thing as an illegal meeting ; the right of meeting was guaranteed to the people of this country ,

      and it would be a mere farce to speak of such a right , were no power given to intimate them . Carnaby then pleaded that the bill was on his property , and that he had a right to take it down . It was argued on the other side that bills had been posted on the same place before and that , although Carnaby was a proprietor and director of the railway , be had no right as an individual to assume a power such as he claimed . The Sheriff was of opinion that any proprietor hud a right to take anything eff the railway , and that was the only point that saved the defendant from the consequences of the action ; and as the pursuer had requested him to state the law on the subject he would do so . The Sheriff then gave a very elaborate view of the law bearing on the . case , which may be very shortly summed up . Bills cannot

      be posted on walls without the consent of the proprietor ; but , when up , can only be taken down by his orders . They cannot be covered up by other bills until the meeting is over . He intimated his determination to maintain the law ; and any person tearing down a bill not on his own property would not only be subjected in the price of the whole impression , but in damages beside . In the course of his remarks , he severely castigated Carnaby for his low conduct , and repeatedly said he was sorry the law compelled him to decide in his favour . It is well known in this district that Sheriff Robertson is a man who will not step beyond his duty to curry favour with no party ; and

      the patience and impartiality manifested by him during discussion merits the highest commendation . ' The transaction cannot be looked upon in any other light than u . Chartist victory . From the very decided manner in which the Judge expressed himself , there is little fear of further annoyance . A proud , arrogant , selfsufficient partisan has been humbled ; for , during the whole discussion , the writhings and contortions of his face clearly showed an anxiety to suppress his inward feeling . It was perfectly clearthat , while the rebuke of the Sheriff degraded him in the estimation of all present , it had a similar effect on himself ; for , towards the close of the proceedings , he , in a most humiliating tone , pledged hiiuielf never to interfere with bills in future .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sm , —I last week sent you a reply t « a most slanderous attack u » on my character , published in your paper of the preceding Saturday . That reply was neither inserted nor noticed , except I am to consider the following as a notice : — "A heap of correspondence , some of which WAS intended for insertion , must lie over unoticed . " This I consider was unfair , and altogether unworthy of a paper advocating the great principles of Chartism . No one can regret more than myself that those who profess to be Chartists should fall out ; but I am not one of those who will sit tamely by while ano'her man is making money by malicious aspersions upon my character . This may appear trifling to you , but is is not so to me ; and , lest you should plead as an excuse that my former communication was too lengthy , I here sum up the whole as briefly as I can , hoping you will reserve me a corner in . your next .

      In your paper of the 14 th inst ., a letter appeared , signed " John Weavers . " In that letter I am represented as having been secretary to the Mauclesfield Ctiartist Association . This , though false , I should not have complained of , but should rather be proud of the office , or indeed any other in which I could forward the cause of Chartism . But thero is a copy of a letter represented as mine which I never penned in my life . Further on there is one of the most foul and malignant assertions that ever appeared in print . I am there represented iis having disposed of "John Weavers '"

      " working tools' while he was in prison . This is a base , unfounded lie , and one that deserves the most severe reprobation . However , I shall not follow the example of " John Weavers" in exhibiting the vocabulary of a blackguard upon better men than myself , tut leave facts to speak for themselves . If I was not afraid of intruding upon your time , I could say a great deal more . I am yours truly , Horace Roche . Macclesfield . Nov . 23 d , 1840 .
