It having been stated in the Manchester Examiner , that the \ arious benefit societies , & c , banking at this establishment , intended positively' to withdraw their funds before theerdof the past month , and that generally large sums had been withdrawn , the manager begs to call attention to the following authentic statements;—The first refers to the period prior to Ms taking charge , and is a true summary of deposits and withdrawals up to 22 nd SepMast . FIRST STATEMENT . Deposits far thir ty- « ven weeks to . 22 od Sept . 1847 , ... ... £ 6 i 239 4 10 Being an average of £ 168 . per . week Withdrawals in the same period ... 175 5 4 Being ; under three per cent , upon the deposits .

Thus while the weekly deposits have been nearly doubled , the withdrawals have been increasing by under seven per cent , only , and would have been reduced to a much lower amount , but that a sum of £ 55 ( included in withdrawals ) was handed over to the Land Company as a premium paid by a Depositor to an allottee of four acres of Land , and that upwards of £ 50 was withdrawn by a benefit so-I ciety holding funds at ihe Bank , ( exceeding £ 600 , ) for their mm ai current expenses . Not oneskilUng has been wit hdrawn since the manager took charge ! except for these purposes , aud to meet the pressure 1 of the times ; the letters from individuals , requesting remittances , having almost invariably contained some expression of regret at being compelled to withdraw part of their funds through want of employment .

' ,R Ajw/Oraalbhtoji,'» The Central Comm...
' AJw / oraalBHtoji , ' » The Central Committee , during the past week of unexampled aud important bnsiness , have felt it their duty to issue the following circular through the Trades in connexion with the Association , calling for the immediate collection of an additional levy of twopence in the pound for six weeks , from the 1 st of December . — .
To the Members of the abova Association . * « Nov . 22 ud , 1847 . ' Gentleuen , —The Central Committee have heen imperatively called upon : ( in consequence of the Manchester silk pickers' and weavers' strike , and many other heavy claims which ate daily being made upon them for support ) not osly to request most earnestly that the * Trades forming the Association will pay up . the amount , doe from their respective trades to its funds ; np to the present time forthwith , but to make an extra levy of two-pence in the pound , in order to meet these increased and increasing demands . The said levy to continue for six weeks ,, commencing the 1 st of December .
4 The Central Committee , in making this request , beg to assure the members of , the Associa tion , that they do it with extreme reluctance , knowing the difficulties to which many of their bodies are subjected , in consequence of the great depression in trade ; but , when they reflect that the very same cause which produces those difficulties is giving an impetus to the capitalist , to attempt to screw down the already scanty wages of their workpeople to an unexampled ^ position , they will doubtless , unhesitatingly respond to tbe Central Committee ' s present call . ' By order of the Central Committee , 4 Thomas Babbatt . Secretary . '
Little need be added to , the above brief circular , to justify this step on the part of the Committee . Indeed , from all parts of the country , repeated calls haw been made on ihe Central Committee to take this step ; but they , knowing the severe pressure of the times on many of their suffering brethren , were exceedingly unwilling to add in the remotest degree to their already severe privations . But , although there never has been in the history of the working classes , an association which in a comparatively short period , has effected the same amount of benefit with such insignificant pecuniary resources ; still , the existing unparalleled
prostration of trade , does not seem to point to the present period as peculiarly in-operative for such an experiment . But the Central Committee , from their position being better able to form an estimate of the condition and capabilities of the Association , cannot be insensible to the fact , extraordinary as it may appear , that notwithstanding the fearful character of the last few months , its progress in numbers , in power and influence , since the late Conference , has been so great , as fully to warrant the Committee in using all the power entrusted to them , to maintain unimpaired its present high character and powerful position .
The Central Committee having thus determined to perform their duty fearlessly , it now remains to be seen whether the working classes in connexion with this , perhaps the most iisportaut soeial movement of the age , are prepared to second and support them . The fact ought not and must not be concealed , that the present is in all probability the very crisis of the Association . It depends now on the faith and virtue of you , working men , whether this noble movement is in reality to become the great fact of the age , or whether it is doomed to dwindle down—as all its predecessors have done—a sad memento of the fickleness and weakness ef the working class .
The Central Committee , therefore , most earnestly appeals to those who call themselves members of the National Association , to deeply reflect on their present position . On the ore hand , they possess an organisation , which , as a trades' movement , stands unequalled in the history of the world , an organisation which has gone on increasing in numbers and power , notwithstanding all the unfavonrable influences of the present perilous times , the undisguised attacks of open foes , and the more insidious
underminings of secret enemies . Tbe balance sheet just circulated , and the report now in the printer ' s hands , places those truths beyond all dispute . These , then , are the questions that each of you are called jn to decide . Is there intelligence enough to enable yon to perceive , that , through a national combinati in , conducted on the everlasting principles of justice and equity , yon can alone effect the emancipation of labour , from the undue and oppressive nower of capital ?
Is there virtue enough to induce each of yon to make tbe cause your own—to lay aside for the occasion , yonr prejudices—to make some small sacrifice for ycur redemption ? If bv yonr actions yon answer these inquiries in the affirmative , oh ! then , indeed , yonr redemption is nearer than some may imagine . Allusion has been made in this article , and in the notices appended to the Centra ] Committee ' s reports in this and the two preceding Stars , to the monthly report to be published on the 1 st of
December . The Central Committee are desirous of drawing the most serious attention of the members to this little publication . It is intended to be a com * plete history of the progress of the Association , detailing all the proceedings of the Central Committee ; a history of all the strikes engaged in , of all the cases of disputes settled through the " agency of tbe Central Committee ; the progress and results of the various tours of agitation taken by tbe various agents ; a monthly list ot all new adhesions , with an abstract of the income .
One of these reports will be forwarded to each body in connexion with the Association , and a limited number will be printed / or circulation among the members . The intention of the Central Committee is to make this a self-paying publication ; it will , therefore , be charged to the members at a price sufficient , and only sufficient , to cover its cost ; but the Committee expect , from the useful and interesting character of its contents : that most ef our members will be desirous of contributing to its circulation by becoming a purchaser , first , for tbe purpose of his own information ; and , secondly , with a view ef acting upon those of their fellow workmen who , from apathy or prejudice , have
hitherto neglected to join ns . It has been said , that at first only a limited number will be printed , but , as the Central Committee think , when thejeharacter of the publication becomes known , a consider , able demand is likely to arise , it is their intention to make arrangements with the printer to keep the type set for a few day ? , to enable them to strike off additional copies , if necessary . Those , therefore , who may be desirous of obtaining copies must give their orders without delay , to their secretaries , to whom an allowance will be made , to remunerate them for their trouble . But it must be borne in mind , that , in all instances , payment most precede delivery . : ,
Tbe CEAlfoED Block Pbinters inn the Cenxb . il Committee . —In calling the attention of the members of the Association to the proceedings of some delepates from the above body ,-who are now traversing England and Scotland , for the purpose of exciting their sympathies in behalf of the men now ont of employment from the works of Mr Evans and of Mr Swaieland of Cray ford , Kent , the Central Committee feel bound , by a sense of duty to their own character , andthatofthe Association , whose destinies are for a time entrusted to their care , to caution the members of the Association , and the working classes generally , against the gross exaggerations and mistatements t ' aise parties indulge in , in reference to the Central
Committee . In relation to the proceedings of tbe Central Committee in the case of the Cray ford block printers , it is not necessary to enlarge npon it here , inasmuch as a compbte history of the whole affair has been printed , and ia now in possession of the members , which statement the Central Committee offer as a complete justification of their conduct . It has been so pronounced in fnll meetings of the London Manchester , and Sheffield districtcommtttees , and of numerous local bodies , before many of whom the Crayford delegates had an opportunity of stating
their case . The Central Committee at first felt unwilling to take any step in refutation of the gross and p alpable nntrnths pnt forth by some of these inconsiderate men , but from evidence now in their possession of tbe unscrupulous lengths to which some of these parties are going , it becomes the Central Committee to emphatically caution all societies ia connexion with them , and the working classes generally , not to allow themselves to act upon the statements of these parties , without the most searching inquiry into their truth .
To any party of the trades who hate not got , and wish to have the Central Committee ' s reply to their appeal , a copy will be returned by post , ou the enclosure of a postage stamp . It is much to be regretted that the more rational portion of tho London block printers do not take some effective measures to put a stop to these nnwiae proceedings of their delegates , as they are certainly doing their own cause an irreparable injury . In connexion with this unpleasant business , the Central Committee are in possession of a letter written by , or at least signed by , W . H . Gardner , and addressed by him to Humphrey M'Kenz ' e of Sheffield , in which the veracious W . H . Gardner , among a long tissue of garbled , and in many instances , grossly false statements , says- ^ ' On . Nov . 24 th ^ the y met to discuss the matter before the tin plate workers , at the Craven Head , Drary-lane , London . Messrs Gardner and Dixon are delegates , and Messsrs reel ; <
' ,R Ajw/Oraalbhtoji,'» The Central Comm...
and _ Green from the Central Committee . The discussion commenced , at eight o clock , and continued until half -past twelve at night , when they admitted openly in the room , that we had driven them from one position to another , that they must stand upon the grounds stated in the 9 th paragraph ' . At the end of the discusssion , Mr Green told one of these men it served us right in sending such b y muffij to represent us at . the first . The men being members of the National Association , would not assist us before we met , but have since resolved to assist us . The Central Committee on receiving it applied to the secretary of the tin-plate workers , for a copy of the minutes of proceedings in connexion with this affaiiyand stated the strange statements of Mr Gardner ; to which we have received the following answer : —
. Dear Sir : I received your letter this evening , and was very much surprised when I read the contents of it . I little thought that a man like Gardner could SO far degrade himielf as to make use of such unmanly weapons as falsehoods , to defend bis position , as bringing disgrace and infamy upon the class to which be belongs ; for certainly such conduct will recoil upon the head of those who have recourse to it . 'I have got in my possession the minutes of the proceedings of that nweting , at which you were present ; likewise the minutes of the general meeting which ensued from it ; both of which , a * far as Iain concerned , are at yeur disposal , and 1 have no doubt the general body to whieh I belong will sanction it . Time will not permit mo to call the comm ' tina
together , else I would do ao ; that would give weight to the proceedings , but it would not add to the evidence , which is quite sufficient to disprove such gross falseshoods as Mr Gardner , sanctioned I suppose by his coliea ? ue , has given vent to . I therefore would suggest , instead ot my preparing a paragraph for tho NoBTHsns Star , that I should furnish you with the minutes of the proceedings , likewise with a copy of the resolutions passed at the general meeting , when the beck printers case was the object for consideration ; and by that means , as yon are in possession of more facts than me , you could make proper use of it , and put the information in its proper form and place . I will , therefore , promise to meet you to-morrow evening , at half-past eight o ' clock , at the office of the Association . I will bring the boobs with me . m .-V ¦ '¦'" ¦ 'lam , yours truly ,
' V ; ' . , . V - . - ' * TiouAs LavbkPBR . ' -, The Central Committee have met every day during the week for the dispatch of business . Several fresh adhesions from different parts of England and Scotland , have been forwarded . to the office . Applications for advice ' and the mediative powers of the association , have been made by the carpenters and joiners of Sheffield , to whom a reduction of wages had been offered , and a proposed alteration in the customs and usages of the trade in that town i Mr Williams was appointed to proceed to Sheffield , to endeavour to bring the dispute to an amicable adjustment . From the woollen weavers of Keighley , to whom a reduction had been offered , Mr Robson was instructed
to call at Keighley on his road to Sunderland . An application has also been made by the plush wettversof Kettering ; after a preliminary inquiry on the spot , Mr Williamson and Mr Peel were appointed to wait on the employers who reside m London . - An application was also received from the nailers of Bromsgrove . Mr Humphries was appointed to investigate the case , _ A similar application has also heen received from the coopers of Greenock . Mr . Claughan was instructed to attend en that case , who having reported that he had written to the employers but without any immediate success , the Central Committee
resolved to support the coopers of Greenock , in resisting the reduction ; An application was received from the lath splitters of Glasgow , for permission to strike for an advance of wages . These men certainly make out a strong case ; which , in ordinary circumstances , the Central Committee could scarcely have refused , but in the present position of the country and of the association , the committee regret they cannot comply with the request of this body , but they resolve that Mr Claughan shall visit tho employer , and endeavour to obtain by reason and argument , some advance to their wages .
A letter was received from the Dudley nailers , conveying the pleaiing intelligence that after a struggle of a few days only , the strike in that town entered upon by the Central Commitee had terminated , the employers having in the first instance declined mediation , but subsequently withdrawn the reduction . A letter was on Friday received from Mr Williamson from Sheffield . statiag that he had great hopes of bringing the disputes bstween the joiners end their employers , to an amicable arrangement . That he was then going to attend a meeting of the employers convened especially for the purpose of receiving him as a deputation from the National Association . Since tbis period , Mr Williamson has returned to London , and has reported the glorious result of his interview with the employers and the workmen ' s
union . He having succeeded in settling the dispute to the perfect satisfaction of both employer and employed . Mr Peel reported having attended , on Saturday evening , a meeting ef the paper stainers of the borough of Southwark , for the purpose of explaining the present position of the association . The largest room of the Masons' Arms was filled , . Mr Feel entered into a full and elaborate statement of the present position and future prospects of the association ; answered questions put to him concerning the cause why the Central Committee had not supported the Craj ford block printers . Mr Peel ' s answer gave the most perfect satisfaction . The meeting appeared much pleased at the frank and open explanation given by Mr P . to several questions put to him in refernce to their own position , and after moving a vote of thanks 00 the deputation , the meeting separated .
Fbiendb-Ih carryingout the business of the National Association every one must be aware of Us difficult and complicated character , and that in the strict and impartial administration of the laws depends the stability of the combination ; however eome may find fault , or censure tbe Central Committee for so acting . B ut it is their opinion that the safety and prosperity of the Association is , and will ever be , commensurate with an undeviating adherence to the spirit of the laws , Every' one must see that if the law * are violated , or departed from In any case by the Central Committee , that they are unworthy of their offices , and unfit to conduct the affairs of so complicate ! and extensive an association ; as such violation would be trifling with the highest interests of the working classes . It is , therefore , the . safest aud most successful policy to adhere unflinchingly to . the spirit and intention of tbe rules .
In our position we are able to judge of the adaptation of tbis institution to meet tho wants anil ^ circumstances of the industrious classes , and also of ascertaining the disposition so generally manifested by the trades , to misinterpret the laws , or twist them to suit their own local circumstances . Now with all due respect to the trades , the Committee tliiak that such a spirit has an injurious tendency , It does cot tend to promote that spirit of brotherhood , of reciprocity , and universality anticipated by the Association ; and every one must see that ia this union of unions the interests of all must bo equally and impartially protected ; and that the welfare of one pertion ought not , aud will not , by the Committee , be sacrificed to the caprice of another ; if so , we may expect to witness a total failure In onr plans for labour ' s eman . clpation ... .
To guard the trades from error , and , as far ss possible maintain a uniformity of opinion upon the meaning of the laws , the Central Committee , in honoar to themselves ; 'and in Justice to tbe Association , to explain the spirit and original intention of certain rales , confirmed by their general practise , when such rules are called into operation ; and for want of due attention-on the part of trades . many difficulties and considerable unpleasantness has beetrexperiMiced , The rule to which wo will first advert to is , the ' first resolution of the Manchester Conference , andoonfiimed by the Birmingham Conference , Page . 9 , where it states , — 'That each trade shall belong to the . association six months bifore eligible to rective support . ' Now tbe object of this rule is that trades
joining the association must be six months members , both in point of time and payments , before they can bare the slightest claim upon the association for support , not even for any grievance that may occur during the term ., of their probation , For as ' the " rule > does not allow the Central Committee to take up any case where the trade has not been six months in the association , so does it not allow them to render pecuniary aid to a trade fa resisting the aggressions of capitalists at the time the six months expires ; and as the trade only becomes , eligible to benefit at the termination of six dear months , It can only nave a legal claim for protec . tion against aggressions attempted from the date of their eligibility ;
Now the view taken by some trades bodies is , that any infringement upon their prices that may have transpired during their six months' probation , the Central Committee is bound to take up their case , and that If they strike and support themselves until the expiration of their probationary twm ; that then they have a legitU mate claim for full aliment , and if not rewarded they immediately denounce the association as incompetent to grapple with the difficulties of their trade . Now , the * Central Commute unhesitatingly pronounce this to be an unqualified misconstruction of the rule ; and tbatif » noh a course is tolerated , would subvert the principles of the onion , and the association would bs unable to sustain tbe demands thus made upon its funds for three months .
To show the injustice of suoh an explication of the rule , it is only necessary to advert to the great disparity between the amount of levies paid into the association , and the amount ef weekly strike pay allowed according to scale page 7 , rule 23 ; from which you will perceive : — < That the principle of levying the trades be at the rate of 2 d , in the pound per week upon their average earnings . ' This is the rate of payment , and to see the wntrait we take a trade at- the average wages of 10 s . per week ; the amount of levy would be one penny per woek , four , pence per month , or thirteen pence per quarter , and for the entire term of probation two shillings and two-penoe ;
' ,R Ajw/Oraalbhtoji,'» The Central Comm...
while one wetk ' s stake ppy would be seven shillinis and sixpence , or iwenty . one months' we » kly levies . Now , I the rale iu question admits " of trades coming upon the association for pecuniary support as soon as their sis months ' probation expires , whore are the requisite funds to support them to come from ! Where must wo recruit our resources from ? and if we had the wealth of the Bank of England at our command , would not the adoption of such a principle toon drum ns to the last farthing ? TTe trust , however , that the trades will take a more rational and common sense ' view of this question , and not give rise to any unnecessary disputes , that only terminate in an unpleasantness ,
In taking this view of tbe rule , the Central Committee do not wi » h it to be understoofl that they will not endeavour to prevent reductions offered to tradw , ( not six months members , ) by every means in their power . Iu many instances they have by meditation effected the withdrawal of serious reductions , and procured consider , able advances in the prices of others , by bringing to bear « n their behalf themoral power of the association . This they have done , and are prepared to do the same again , whencalledupon , totbe utmost of their pewer , but they cannot go , in any case that occurs , before the tradts have been six months clear paying bodies .. Another law that has given rise to no small amount of unpleasantness is , the 9 . h resolution of the Birmingham Conference , which rsquires , — ' That individuals joining a trades' society , who are more than six months members shall be paying members , three month * in reference before they are free . The error into whieh some trades have fallen to this
rule is , tbatifj ' a small portion of a trade have been ' six months members , ' the other portion , even to an indefinite extent , will become free , eligible members in ' three months . ' The Central Committee wish it tobe understood that Such a view is decidly erroneous , and , if adopted , would subvert one of the fundamental principles of the National Association . The object of the Conference in adopting such a resolution , as tbe one in question , was to be an inducement for individuals to join the association , by allowing tbera as such , a short period ofprobation , before being eligible to aliment , t e . three months instead of six . But that such a privilege must only be extended to individuals , in their isolated capacity , and not to individuals in matses . This was the extension of Conference , and is the spirit of the rule itself ; and in conforming to which , the Central Committee are only doing their duty , and if they acted otherwise , they would be eompromlsing the general interests of the association , aad expose-its stability and prosperity to tbe most imminent danger .
Again , tbe resolution in question does not apply to trades who have not completed their probation ; and individuals joining a trade that is not free , must be connected with the Association six months from the date of their entry , before th » y become entitled to benefit . Tbe privilege of ' three months' is applicable on ! y to 'individuals joining a trades' body , who are more than six months members , ' and not to trades who are en probation . -The Central Committee feel called upon to make these explanatory remarks from several ' unpleasant matters ,
that have transpired through a misunderstanding of the rules alluded to ; and trust that the members and local officers will aid them in carrying out the laws of tho Association . It is to the practical working of the Association , that we must look lor the social and physical redemption of the working classes ; but , if the rules are only partially administered , how can we realise these glorious purposes ? * To the law and testimony' is our advice , and whatever is done contrary to , or inconsistent , with tbis , will tend to confusion and disappointment , and reflect disgrace and incompetency upon the heads of your executive body .

We desire to promulgate the great political truths handed down to us by those immortal philosophers and patriots , Jefferson , Franklin , Paine , Cobbett , CartwrlRht , and Hunt , and contained inthe document called 'the People ' s
Charter , ' by lectures , public discussions , reading , & c , By these means we hoge to improve our minds , and make ourselves more useful members of society ; takingour affairs into ourown hands , fi ^ h ' -ing our own battles , and ceasing to do the dirty work of factions , by fighting the battles of either Whigs or Tories . Thoughtless , indeed , and void of either sense or feeling , must be the man who tamely submits to the oppression and insult heaped upon his order , without trying to better their condition , and destroy the monster cause of tho people's wrongs—class legislation . Nature never intended that man or woman should toil from birth to death for a paltry pittanoe from hand to mouth . Then rally for the cause oi human progresses , and shout with heart and voice , ' The Charter and No Surrender !' Joseph Morgan , sub-secretary .

Mr Charles Bubbsaid ;— ' Mr Chairman , being firmly persuaded , that there are more than a million of Chartists in Eneland , I feel deeply concerned that a much larger
