TO THE CHARTISTS . -Friekds , —Iu compliance with the earnest wishes of many Chartist localities , we beg to announce tbat the Conference will be held on Monday , the 3 rd of August , at Leeds , and not on Wednesday the 29 th ol Jnly , as originally decided npon . We also beg to state , that in compliance with tbe unanimous reto Int ons of the members of the Land Fund , the £ 1350 realised by the sale of Carpender ' s farm is placed to
th ; credit of the General Fund . Our reason for not pu li-hing several resolutions received npon this subject is , because they were rendered unnecessary by the immunity of the vote . Philip M'Gbath , Feabgus O'Cossor , ChRISTOPHBK DOTXE , Thomas Glares . Thomas Mariis Wheeler , Secretary .

office of the Directors on that date , it will be sufficient if it is paid into tbe various localities by that time . But it must be distinctly understood , that no sum received after Monday the 20 th , will entitle any member to have his name drawn in the next ballot . The Directors are now negotiating for a suitable quantity of Land , of the right quality , for the pur poses of the society ; which they hope to be able to purchase before the ballot shall take place .

" There is no truth in this—no letter was received at this office from Bairstow ; but of course every one knows tbat Bairstow is capable oi saving anything . We must decline publishing our correspondent ' s statement respecting another of the dirty despicable acts of Bairstow . He is already sufficiently well known .

With the quarrel between Mr . Cooper and Mr . O'Connor , or the Chartist-, in general , I have nothing to do ; but as Treasurer to tbe Exiles * Fund ( having been appointed to the office at the first public meeting held in Tnrnagain-lane ) , J cannot but express deep sorrow—for 1 feel satisfied that Mr .

Barnsley Weavers. At A Public Meeting Of...
BARNSLEY WEAVERS . At a public meeting of the bandicoot weavers , ield in John Pickering ' s large room , to consider the case of the power-loom weavers , who have turned out in consequence of an enormous reduction sought to be made in their wages by PLjot and Xewton , the following resolution , moved by Frank Mirfiehl , seconded by John Wood , was unanimously agreed to : —" That this meeting of hand-loom weavers consider th-st tbe parties employed by Messrs . Pigot and Newton , power-loom weavers , are justified in leaving their employment , to prevent the great reduction proposed to be made in their wages ; and we , the hand-loom wearers in pnblic meeting assembled , recommend ] every man and woman in the trade to contribute freely to support tbe present strike .
FANCY SILK BLONDE TRADE . Sir , —Permit me through the medium of your valuable journal , which has always advocated the working man ' s cause , to indicate the real position of workmen engaged in the Fancy Silk Blonde Trade . It is Tery probable that there is not a number of workmen to be found more honest and more industrious in the whole commercial circle , and probably none to be fonnd who ' suffer imposition with more patience . The price for making warp Silk Blonde on a treble mat-bice is * 9 & per rack yard ; therefore , 24 yards per week , would be 16 s , aud cow for the expenses a workmen baa to pay out of that per week .

Barnsley Weavers. At A Public Meeting Of...
It is questionable whether a workman averages 24 yards per week , for there are 17 weeks he does not make above -11 yards , ~ if that ; now if a man makes 32 yards per week for 35 weeks , and it is as much as be can do , and 11 yards per week for 17 weeks , it would reduce the number of yards to about 25 per w eek ; but out of tho 35 weeks full work , be will have to stand stiil for i or 5 weeks , at the least waiting for warps , break-downs , alterations , & c , and this would reduce the number of yards per week to 22 yards ; and at the same time reduce his weekly earnings to 6 s 2 d per week , for making an article
which has never been superseded in the market , nor likely to be at present . One of the worst impositions practised is , that some of the owners of machines exact the expenses daring the time they have half-work or none at all . 1 here are other impositions , such as deductions for spoiled work , which " spoiling" the workman is out rarely the author of , as the work has to pass through a number of hands before being received at th e counter . If he grumbles , he has notice to quit his degrading and pauperising employment . Nottingham , July 13 . * For 90 in . 30 guage .
Carpet Masvjfactgrers. — The Friends Of ...
Carpet Masvjfactgrers . — The friends of - the working classes will be gratified t ^ Jearn , that at tbe annual meeting of the "Associated Caraet Manufacturers of the North of England . " held at the Old Robin Hood , York , on the 2 nd of July , adeputation from the workmen employed by the leading firms of that district waited upon the gentlemen assembled , and presented memorials embodying the wishes of their fellow-workmen . These being read , a friendly conversation ensued , iu which the manufacturers appeared to sympathise deeply with then ? operatives ;
and in proof of their sincerity , at once agreed to give an advance of ten per cent , upon the wages of thoHe workmen , in their several manufactories , who are engaged in the production of superfine or Kidderminster carpeting . It is but just to add , tbat about four years ago the same gentlemen , by pursuing a most disinterested line of conduct , prevented a general reduction of tbe rates of weaving ; and . should they and their workmen continue ; to act in the same friendly spirit as they have dene since then , strikes , with all their disastrous consequences , will be for ever avoided .
Frame-work Knitters Movements . —At a general delegate meeting held at the Central Committeeroom , Dove and Rainbow , Parliament-street , Nottingham , it was resolved" That each locality be requested to make out a state , raent of all their various qualities of work , viz ., the weights , length , width , Ruages , number of cotton , and price for miking , and to forward tbe same to the Central Committee as early as possible . " "Thateach localiiy be also requested to draw up a code of laws for the better government of the districts , - . rod forward the same to the Central Committee as early as possible . "
" That the delegates meet every Monday night , for the i > resenf , for the purpose of attending to any local business , and to attend to any infringements tbat may be practised upon any of their fellow workmen . " . P . S . —It is requested that all those districts which have hitherto stood aloof from this associated body will come forward and join with them as early as possible , for the time is not far distant when every me will rejoice at the day that he joined the "National Association of United Trades for the Protection of Industry .

With a bad character , ami hence it was ^ necessary that-they-should stand before their neighbours , and vindicate them from the foul aspersions cast upon them , by laying , before them those glorious principles of which they were the adrocates-( cneers]—and which he believed were the onlv principles calculated to confer happiness and prosperity on the whole human family . ( Cheers . ) The Chartist to-operative Land Society was established for the purpose of putting the people in possession , or rather ofr P ° ? sc 9 sing them , of that great natural right of which they ought never to have been deprived—the Land . ( Loud cheers . ) It was a p'an by which the humblest labourer could obtain two acres of land and
a cottage for tbe sum of £ 2 12 a ., with £ 15 to subsist on , until his crops were grown , and to possess this a * - a mere nominal rent , on lease for 999 years . ( Much cheering . ) The contributions commenced as low as threepence per week , and ascending at pleasure , until the share or shares were paid for . ( Hear , hear . ) Was not this worth obtaining ? ( Hear . hear . ) Who would remain a pauper , when they could effect their own social redemption ? Had not an ex-Minister declared that one person in every ten was a pauper ? That in point of fact was saying , tbat there was one million and a half of paupers in Great Britain alone ; yet , here in this boasted land of freedom , the industrious millions were perishing of want ; but did they ever hear of those things called Lords—the useless
aristocracy , dyingof hunger I Did they ever hear their neighbours , Lord Grosvenor or the Earl of Essex , going without their dinner ? No , no , they fared sumptuously every day , although they never earned a dinner , or did any other useful thing . Well then , he asked , would they agree to remain in a : state of serfdom , when they had the means of working out their own salvation in their own hands ? The Chartist Co-operative Land Society , although founded by Chartists , was open to the world , without reference to creed or sect . Mr . Doyle here entered into a luminous exposition of the principles of the Chartist
Land Society , and its mode of operation , and showed the practicability of the plan , and the great blessings it must bestow on the great mass of human hind , Invited discussion , and ca'led on all who had not yet seen "flerringsgate" with its " Chartist Villas , " those handsome residences for the sons of toil , to pay it a visit , and sure he was they would be desirous of becoming allottees , and consequently would lose no time in placing themselves on the road thereto , by immediately enrolling themselves shareholders of the Chartist Land Society . Mr . Doyle moved the following resolution , and resumed his seat amid the most hearty demonstrations of applause .
- That in the opinion of this meeting the Chartist Cooperative Land Society , is based upon sound principle ? , and is eminently calculated to promote the comfort and independence of the Working Classes . Mr . E . Stallwood seconded the motion , which was put , and no one asking any questions , or attempting any opposition , was carried unanimously , amid much applause . Mr . Philip M ! Gr » ATHsaid they had doubtless heard of the "People ' s Charter "—( hear , hear )—and no doubt from the characters given of its advocates by the oppressors of the wealth producing classes , thought it some hideous black book , filled with Egyptian bircoglypbics , or some other species of witchcraft , and probably expected to see us with hoofs and a long tail . ( Laughter . ) Now , although we do possess the latter —( Roars of Laughter . ) I mean a long tail of
followers—( great choering )—yet we have not the former . We believe it is bad laws that compel the working man to exist on bad , course food , to be clothed in rags , and to reside in a wretched hovel . ( Loud cheers . ) Aye , such hovels as Lord Robert Grosvenor would not put his dogs into , and so long as the working man is unenfranchised , so long will those debasing things continue . ( Hear , bear . ) But give the working man the Suffrage , and depend on it he will elect such honest intelligent men to represent him , who will make such laws as shall conduce to the good of all . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . M'Grath next entered into a lucid , able , and eloquent exposition of the principles of the "People's Charter , " which elicited hearty and enthusiastic cheering , and concluded ( amidst vociferous cheering ) by moving the following resolution : —
That this meeting considers the system of Government now prevailing in this country , which denies the rights of citizenship to seven millions of men , to be tyrannical and unjust ; and as the People ' s Charter is an embodiment of the princip les of equal representation and details to give them effect , this meeting hereby expresses its decided approval of that document , and resolves to use every means compatible with Law to make it a statute of this realm . Which was seconded and carried by acclamation . ( Several voices here exclaimed , ' . " Where can we obtain the Northern Star . "
Mr . Stallwood : —Of " Chartist Jack . " ( Roars of Laughter . ) Yes , leave your orders for Chartist Jack at Mr . Beeston , Rickmansworth , at Mr . Holts , Mill End , at Mr . Barbor's , Chorley Wood Common , or at the ;* ' People's Estate , " Herringsgate , and you will be sure of obtaining them ; and where you may also obtain rules of the Land Society , or hand books of the National Charter Association , or become shareholders of the one and members of the other . ( Cheers . ) A vote of thanks was given to Mr . Ross for bis services in the chair , which he acknowledged and left
the chair , when a Mr . Gay asked a question relative to the rules of the Chartist Land Society , and expressed a wish , at that late hour , when darkness overshadowed tbe " Fortune" to enter into an opposition to the principles of " The Chartist Co-operative Land Society . " . He was respectfully informed by Mr . M'Grath , that the ' night was too far advanced for such a purpose , and requested to attend on Monday evening next , July 21 st . at the same spot , at seven o clock , when an opportunity should be afforded h m . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Gat : You know I live in London , and can't afford to come down .
Mrf M'Grath said he was not aware of that circircumstance , but trusted the gentleman would not let that stand in his way , as he ( Mr . M'Grath ) would undertake that his expences should be paid . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Gay : I accept your offer and will be here . ( Cheers . ) The meeting was then adjourned until Monday evening next , at seven o ' clock precisely . Mr . M'Grath announced that Mr . Feargus O'Connor would be present at the next meeting . The vans , li g ht carts , & c . then left the Common , forming a procession followed by a concourse of people , and thus proceeded through the town ot Rickmansworth , making the Welkin ring again with those songs of " Liberty , " " Base Oprcssors , " and " We'l rally around him again and again .

ADDRESS OF THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION COMMITTEE , FOR PROMOTING
THE RETURN TO PARLIAMENT OF CANDIDATES WHO WILL VOTE FOR THE EMBODIMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER AS THE LAW OF THE LAN & The time has at length arrived , when it is the duty of every lover of liberty to be up and doing , to shake off the trammels of party , and join in one common struggle for the redemption of the human family , for the political emancipation , moral regeneration , and social happiness of our fellow countrymen , who only live to toil , who lie down to rest only to rise again to toil , and for whom civilization has done nothing , except to make wretchedness still more wretched .
Tbe rude inhabitants of the forest , clothed in the skins of wild animals , and sheltered in the caves of the earth from the blasts of winter , and the heat of the summer sun , are far more happy than they . As art and science flourish — as wealth is more easily produced , so in proportion does the poverty ef the working classes increase , and they naturally ask how is it that such a state of things exists ? Why some lord it over millions , while tbe great majority are nothing more than slaves , creating wealth in abundance , while they themselves pine in misery and wretchedness ?
The dark cloud which overhangs the minds of the people , is now being dissipated , and the wotkinj ! classes are beginning to emerge from that state of ignorance in which centuries of misrule have placed them . It is now well understood , that class rule is the cause of most of the evils which afflict society . So long as class rule exists , so long the moral culture and social well being of the humbler classes will be neglected , and the middle classes burdened with poor rates . The bit-by-bit policy of the two great political parties cannoi ; permanently benefit either tbe middle or lower orders ; no plan has hitherto been devised for that portion of the population made scnplos by the necessary improvements in Mechanical Art , but quartering them on those whose burdens are
already too great . Man has more capacity tor enjoyment than any other creature , and yet he surpasses the brute creation only in crime and in suffering , and why is this ? There must be some cause , _ of which the human race hitherto has had but an imperfect knowledge , that cause has been discovered by the most intelligent men of this and every other civilized nation , to be class legislation . It is therefore , the duty of every Philanthropist-every lover of his species—the duty of all who are interested ^ in the emancipation and elevation of the working classes , to unite in order to break down that barrier to universal happiness amongst all classes . We do not wish to impugn tbe motives of any party , we are willing to believe that all men are sincere in the advocacy of the opinions they hold , but this has nothing to do with our present position in society . Wb attack phincipi . es mot men , and it
is our duty to endeavour by every rational means , to raise the working classes as moral and intellectual beings to that state for which nature intended them . We call upon tbe middle classes to come forward and assist us—we call upon the good of all parties—let the lovers of justice—the working man and ths middle man , form one indissoluble phalanx which will make itself respected amidst the storms of contending factions . We believe that until the principles contained in the people ' s Charter become the law of the land , the same moral and social degradation will exist . "We say to all , let the petty squabbles which have broken our ranks cease , let ns unite as members of one family , and rally round the Committee which has been formed for the purpose of endeavouring to return to parliament at the next general election , a known advocate of the principles embodied in the " People ' s Charter , " no matter by what name such advocate may be denominated .
