* . _- " SOUTHWARK . A Member of tbe Swell MobCaptoseb . —James Gatsil , a fashionably attired _y-ung man , wearing a blue cloth cloak , with velvet collar , and lined with silk , was brought before Mr . Seeker , charged wiih having stolen a pocket book , containing various documents of value , from the person of a gentlemen , named C . f . Turner . Tie complainant stated that between two and three o ' clock that day as he was passing through the _Borou-jli _MarketliefcHatugathisccat pocket , and missing his -pocket-book from an inside pocket he immediately turned round , and observing no person near bim but the prisoner , -who was enveloped in a cloak , lie at once charged hhn with having nicked his pocket . The prisoner ,
however _, _assuming to be amazed at the nature cf the accusation , denied it and walked away at a quick pace , but he -was followed bv the complainant who seized him by the collar , and repealing the charge , expressed his intention to give him into custody . At that moment the complainant saw his pocket-book fall on the ground at the feet of the prisoner , who then tried to disengage himself , and in _efitfcting tins in t * he struggle he lcfi his cloak in the hands of complainant , and ran away . The complainant , however , pursued him from the market into file Southwark Bridge-toad , wlieiehe came up to bim , and seizing him again , a desperate struggle teak place , during which they both fell down , by which time a policeman came to the spot , stewed the _prisoner , and took him to the station house . The prisoner ' s fashionable
cloak , and also the complainant' s pocket book , were produced in Court . Wlien the complainant made his statement , the _pritoner , addressing the magistrate , said-Tour _wori-hip _, this charge , for nhich there are no just grounds , has come npoa we like a Uiundce clap . I therefore wish that I may have an opportunity of having the assistance of a professional advishrbtfore I enter oh my defence . Mr . Seeker said the complainant had given a very miaute account of the _trausacti-m , and probably theprisontr would just explain why he ran away , if he was an innocent man , leaving Ms cloak in the hands of the gentleman who rcace the charge against lam ? The prisoner said that the attack upon him was so instautaneons , when he was charged with stealing the pocket book , that he ran away in order to get a policirraa to
take his assailant into custody . Policeman 154 II stated that when he came to the spot both the complainant aud prisoner _werestrmrglins on the ground , the latter _usiny the most strenuous exertions to make his escape . When the prisoner was secured , he expressed a hope the complainant would not press any charge against Mm , as he * fc = d got back his pocket book . Mr . Seeker said , tho facts were so clear against the prisoner , that he could not da otherwise than send him before a Jury , itbc-n he _wvuld have an opportunity of retaining professional assistance in , his defence . The prisoner was then committed . "From the circums tance of some of the "swell mob " _fciing seen miking about the avenues of the Court during the _t-xamisation , and to hate _disappeared immediately after it was over , itis strongly suspected the prisoner is one of the members ofthe _fraternity .
THAMES . _ATTE-arxED Suicide at Sea . —On Tuesday , Ellen Gaskin , a respectable looking woman , aged thirty-four years , whose husband formerly carried on a lucrative business as a parse and glove maker in Bermondsey , was brought before Mr . Broderip , charged with having attempted to commit suicide at sea . Richard Jones , the _secand mate of the Cork steam ship Prussischer Adler , stated tbat the _prisoner was a passenger from Ireland to London on her last voyage , and when the vessel was ahout eight miles below the Sore , and going at full speed , the prisoner thre-v herself into the sea from the fore part of tlie vessel , close to the anchor stock . The steamer , which passed right over her , was stopped as quickly as possible , and the boats were lowered and manned by the crew . The woman floated above half a
inUe from the ship before she was picked up , and she was _brought on board in a state of complete insensibility , and by dinty of great exertkn she was recovered and brought to _Londua . She was in a state of great suffering , and was not expected to recover . She was removes to the workhouse in _Wapping , where she had ever since remained . The prisoner , who was in a very low nervous state , said that the only account she could g ive wa > , that she was annoyed by tho crew and persons on board , that she _iras quite out of Ler mzud , and hardly knew what she did . Mr . Brodei ip asked the prisoner what she meant ! The prisoner , _tretHblui' : l yJsaid the men onboard were very insulting both in word and deed , so much so tbat ehe could not rest anj where , and sue should be ashamed to steer "her _fcusbssnd again . "Mr . Brodtriii asked the second mate of tlie _sttanu-r if there
was any truth in the w oman s statement ! Jones—None at all , Sir . This is ber second voyage . The prisoner said , she had made one voyage before in the same vessel to Cork , and was then very much annoyed . The female deck passengers on board the Irish steamers were _m-ver safe from , outrage . Jones—She is _deranged , Sir ; it ' s all wrung . The prisoner , wto exhibited no signs of insanity , muttered in a . low tone that she could not express herself more distinctl y , but she had suffered much on her voyage . Mr- Br-derip , after what he had h * ard , should direct the prisoner to be taken back to I lie workhouse , and a strict inquiry to be made into the truth of the serious allegations sue liad mu-3 e . In his opinion , the prisoner wa 6 not ia a fit state ot mind to be suffered to go at large at present . The prUoutr , who persisted in her statements , was then led back to the workhouse , and wiU be brought up again on a future day .

Child Stoles Nr Its Own Fatuek.—A Novel ...
Child Stoles _nr its own Fatuek . —A novel and lather amusing case was brought under the notice oi the magistrates of Glossop at ihe last petty sessions , which presented several knotty point * , which rather puzzled the bench in their desire amicably to arrange tie matter between the partic * , who stood in tlie relative position of lather and mother to the object o ! dispute . It niipcarcs that tbe _jl . _' _ecitiii-atc cJsiM , tbe son of Uic parties , b .. t who had not _lx en affiliated _. Lad been living with his father and grandmother for two or three yeatv * pa-t , but that the niotaer had latterly laid claim to the boy , and had removed liini from the paternal care . The father , after endm ing the separation for some time , could no longer sustain lis _panss , so he stole tbe boy away , 'the anxious _wiisthw forthwith . '" fetched law , " as it is termed iu Ibh * Jocality , and _brought tbe lather before the worshipful bench . The unlucky swain pleaded very pathetically to have the b » y _cuiisiyned to his charge , saying
it was such a . " _couif-srt" to him ami his mother . He even offered , in bis despair , to marry the mother of the youngster "i' th' morn , " if she wouid have bim , promising to keep l * t ! i with pleasure , rather than part with his lad ; but the fair one wis cruel , alleging * , as the reason of her _rcftiSA : to take liini for better or for worse , tbat she _k-arcd be would abuse her . Under the circumstances , after some deliberation and attempts to bring matters to amicable arrangement , the magistrates decided that tlie parties must have the child alternatively lor a month , and provide it with sufficient food and eloihiu »; oi which , indeed , the little urchin seemed to have suffered no lack . They then retired io _ei'juy _lii-jinselves at the nearest public-Louse , _apj--arentir in the most approved Darby and Joan fashion ; hut tve _undsrsraud they had afterwards a trifling dispute , liie father claiming and insisting upon iiavii _^ ibe boy the first month . —Manchester paper .

Another meeting was agreed OH to en . tertam the question of joining . Wednesday Evening . —A meeting of Dandy-loom weavers was held in the Dressers ' Hall , Charlotte _, lane , to bear an svidrcss from Mr . Jacobs , on the ad * _vantaEC of national association . The lecture was warmly responded to . and a vote passed that it was the _bi-st means that had yet ben proposed to redeem the weavers from their degradation and poverty ; and that a meeting of all the hands about Glasgow be convened in some central room , to hear a second lecture on the subject .

At the close , several questions were asked and answered satisfactorily : first—had Mr . J . any credentials to show he was duly appointed ? The lecturer replied , " - Here is our scrip book , from which I shall be most happy to give any gentlemen present receipts for shares , if they feel " disposed to purchase . " The book was then examined , and all parties declared themselves satisfied with tbe manner in which the society conducted its business . A committee was then appointed to go through the rules , and see the necessary business for joining and report next meeting night .

TO TIIE MANCHESTER DISTRICT COMMITTEE , AND THE DELEGATES TO THE LATE CONFERENCE OF UNITED TRADES HELD AT THE HALL OF SCIENCE , MANCI 1 ESTER . Gentlemen . —A printed circular Las been sent to me ( as one of the delegates to the late Conference , ) from Manchester _^ signed by Gavin Thomson , and James Gouldin . animadventing very stronglv on the actions of the Central Committee of United Trades ' , and soliciting my opinion in writing on the subject in question . A copy has also been sent to my colleague , ( Mr . Buckby _* , ) and I _s resume from that , that every other delegate as also received a copy of the same . How my brotherdelegates in the Midland Counties , may advise is not for ine to determine ; but whatever they advise , let it be publicly known , for secrecy is tbe bane of all societies .
I am not one who desires to * foment hatred and discord among any elas _* _. but when secret circulars are being distributed through the association , on ex parte evidence , I think the act is -likel y to eatrap some into wrong and hasty conclusions . The questions submitted by the Manchester friends for our opinions , are ( I admit ) , of great magnitudes , therefore , wc _ou _^ ht to be very cautious , how we act , before we judge in the matter . With these views , I have . no objections to state my honest conviction of the affair , and deliver my opinion Jn the paper in question , and in doin _^ so , I will divide the questions into sections , and deliver my opinion upon them seriatim . First , — The Central Committee are charged with violating a resolution of Conference , relating to the support of the builders and others in Manchester , Liverpool , & c . who bad ( justly ) abstained from labour through ths introduction of au obnoxious document .
On this question greatdifference of opinion existed , and were manifested by the delegates in Conference assembled , whether the builders and others who had just joined the association , were entitled to receive any monies as a levy from the association , until six months had elapsed from their time of entrance , which after a warm discussion was carried . Opinion , —I believe no blame can be , or is att tellable to the actions or motives of the Central Committee , for not adhering strictly to the vote of _Conference , for the following reason . That the discontent
among several ofthe delegates on the question of acting in opposition to the first resolution of Conference , were tbe cause of many _ncgl-JcMng to remit their levies to tho Central Committee , while others were engaged in struggles for the maintenance of their wages , and had to support men week after week and month after month from their local funds , which prevented the officers of the local bodies remitting their share according to law , therefore , preventing the Cer ' _-rai Committee from affording that relief you should have received for supporting the men under you care and in your district .
Secondly—The Committee are charged with not answering a memorial which had been transmitted to the President . On this point I find a difficulty , _eitherto answer or give my opinion upon it , for the following reason : — It is questionable with me , whether cither the committee or general secretary could , with propriety , take upon themselves the responsibility of _answering a document sent to their president , except by his special permission and authority . Because it was _sext to the president , and not to them ; therefore , it took the character of a private document . Thirdly—Questions was asked of deep importance to the trades in general , which were answerdd in a formal and unsatisfactory manner . In this c se no opinion can be given , inasmuch as it is not stated what questions were asked , or answers given . Fourthly—The provincial members have not been consulted .
Opinion—1 think they ought to be according to rule , ' * if necessary . " Fifthly—The question asked concerning the foreman and maker np , where the master desires his work to be done by the piece instead of day labour , is a question I think which comes within the province of the local committee , rather than the central or national one . iicason—Because the various local _associations are all governed by various laws , —and each trade has , I presume , separate internal laws for the government oi ' tbeir members—which no general or national laws
can interfere with ; consequently , where such is the case , my opinion is , they should be supported from a local fund ( unless it is a case of an extraordinary nature ) , for I consider that no party can deal with technicalities but those who understand them , and for whose especial benefit these local restrictions are made ; but , if a general reduction is attempted upon the weekly wages , or piece , of any body of men who are bona fide members of the association , then it becomes the duty of tbe general body to interfere and obviate the difficulty by their united exertions .
Sixthly—Is a casual workman during a press of trade , who may be thrown out of a job , entitled to tbe support ofthe association , who may be deprived of employment through some act of oppression . Opinion—I believe the act of oppression should first be laid before the Central committee , before any circumstance could _bz ( justly ) decided upon , because there is many ways to oppress , and many to cause oppression . Sevenhtly—1 think the answer given by the Central Committee was a just one , viz . —They must know the particular act of oppression , before they can give their opinion respecting it .
Bightly— If itis the intention ofthe Manchester Committce , to change the policy of the Central Committee , it must be done by a change of officers ; and to change the officers at a time like the present , would be utter and irretrievable ruin to the working classes , and to the association ; and to attempt to change the line of policy which has hitherto been acted upon with such great success , would be the height of folly , The object of the association is not so much to encourngestrikes , asitistopreventtlienecessityforthem . Its aim is to raise the working classes graduallvfrom their present degrading position ; and _Bhould the association diverge from its present coHrsc , what will be the result ? Shall we not be cast backwards , and sink deeper in the gulph of miserr , than wo were before ?
Brothers , rather than send a firebrand _throush the country to destroy and mar the good feeling that exists in the society , wave your claims till the proper time , and until the association is in trim to meet all demands . Sooner than destroy all , let us rebut local aggressions , by local force , and local assistance . I trust that the friends in Manchester , will re-read the laws ami the preamble , when I feci convinced they _willsce the difficulty of _general legislation , without abolishing all the trades bye laws . ¦ Friends , let peace and concord be our aim , and union our motto : and let us he very careful that wc neither muddy the stream , nor poison tho waters , in
our over anxiety for each others welfare . -With these remark- - . I l > eg leave to subscribe myself , your obedient servant , Thomas Winters , late delegate ofthe Manchester Conference . 73 , Bedford Street , Leicester , October 17 . 1840 . I have carefully read the opinion of Mr . T . Winters , and his statement in general , which I declare to be the truth ; therefore , I beg leave to subscribe my name to the document . George Buckby , _Delegate to the Jate Conference . 70 , Lee Street , Leicester , October 17 , 1 S _4 C .
MEETING OF THE OPERATIVE COTTON _SPISSERS OF GLASGOW . A general meeting of the operative cotton spinners of Glasgow and neighbourhood has been held to hear a lecture by Mr . C . Doyle , one of the Execu-
-National Association Of United Trades. ...
tive of the National Charter Association , on Trades Unions and the social condition of the working classes generally . The above meeting took place in Mr . Roue ' s chapel , on Friday the 16 th instant , the place was well tilled , and great attention was paid to the lecturer . Mr . D . Sherrington was _* called to the chair , and , after a few brief remarks on the value of having such men as Mr . Doyle to instruct them in regard to their social and political rights , introduced the lecturer to the _meetins . Mr . Doyle on rising was loudly cheered . He said that he had come forward at thesolicitations of their
oomnuttce to offer a few remarks on the necessity of union ; but while he did so , thoy were to understand that in adveeating union , he was not to be considered as fully approving of the present system of unions as adopted by the generality of trades . He was in favour of isolated unions , so far ri they tended to check the inroads of _capitrl on the wages of working men ; he was convinced , however , that unless a more extended system of union was entered into by the trades of this country , they could never hope to permanently better their condition , aud , as a proof of this assertion , he had only to point to the results : had tbey 1 : en the means of preventing reductions tailing _place in the wages of those so united ? admitting they had been the means of retarding the downward progress of labour , nevertheless that
downward course had continued . He then dwelt upon the combination of employers to reap as great profits as possible , and the social power tiiey possessed over the employed . He then declared that if the masters were united , that the men ought to he more so , from the fact that the masters' unions were unions for the purpose of cheapening labour . He went over the improvements that had taken place in the spring mules _. _-in ' such a manner , that many were asking the question— " Had Mr . Doyle been a spinner ? " He gave an _instance of what had taken place in one factory in Manchester , where there had been eight men employed , earning £ 2 per week each , the same uumber of spindles were now wrought by two men , who only got £ 1 4 s . _por week , and this certainly
demonstrated the blessings consequent upon tlie improvement of machinery . He asked , What was to become of the surplus thus created ? Unless measures were taken for employing those thrown out of work by giving them labour upon the land , orin manufactures , whereby they would have the benefit of reaping the fruits ot their own labour , he could see no hope for them . These measures would , however , be adopted either by co-operation—by joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , or as trades nationally . But the grand means of remedy were to be found in the obtainment of political power , by the enactment of the People's Charter . Mr . Doyle then sat down , after delivering one ofthe most instructive and heart-stirring lectures it has been our lot to hear for a long time . He was much applauded
throughout . Mr . Samuel TTill moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer . Carried with three times three . Mr . Doyle replied , and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman . The meeting then separated .
IRON STEAM-SHIP AND _BOILER-BUILDERS
OF LONDON . TO THE EDITOn OF THE _NOUTHEHN STAR . Sir , —There appeared in your paper last week a letter , headed " Iron Steam-ship and _Steam-bailer building , injurious effects cf piece-work , " & c . __ As a member ofthe Boiler-makers Society , 1 feel indignant at tbe calumnious libels contained in this letter , on the operatives of that body . The gross falsehoods corta " ned in the said letter are too apparent to need much comment . The author of the letter , after having been nurtured in the bosom of the society , instigated , if not originated , a strike at Mr . Penn's , at Deptford , an employer than whom there is not a better in the three kingdoms , and after accomplishing that , started to Liverpool , leaving his deluded
dupes in the lurch . The origin of what he terms a strike , arose as follows : Some of the men had agreed notto work piece-work . According to the general laws of the society , no man is allowed to take job-work without acquainting his shopmates , and stating the price he is to have for such work , so that the men will know that he is not working under price , and that he is not deceiving the masters . This we consider to be fair between employer and employed . One man in Mr . Penn's shop had overlooked this , for which he was fined according to our article , which Mr . Penn came to hear of , on which he posted a written notice in his boiler makers' shop , the postscript of which was— " That all who persist in the above attempt must quit my employ on Saturday next , Sept . 17 , 1846 . ( Signed ) John Penn ,
Deptford Green . " The men never informed the lodges in the district of this , but went to work on Mondaymorning as usual , _Jand worked until Tuesday forenoon , when they struck without informing the district committee , who are specially appointed to arbitrate iu all disputes between masters and men . As above stated , tbe author of the letter in last week ' s Star led the men into this f \ , and then started off to Liverpool , expectin < r to reap the reward of his perfidy from Thoraes Vernon , whom he has dubbed "Esquire . " Corlett appears to have forgotten that Mr . Laird , of Woodside , built the " Birkenhead , " and Mr . Wilson built the "Iron Duke , " which he says were built by Mr . Vernon . Can he _assert that he has ever seen work put out of a master ' s hands in a style superior to that which is done under the inspection and direction of Mr . John Westwocd _, foreman of Messrs . Ditchburn and Mares , Iron Ship builders , of Blackwall : which firm has built more Iron Vessels in the last
seven years , than all the masters in Liverpool put together ? Can he tell what Mr . Vernon wanted _^ to do " with the list of the London prices ; when surveying the " Pottingcr" built bv Mr . Fairbairn and Son , of Mill Wall ; a vessel the rival of which is yet to be found , built under the sole inspection of Mr . James Massey _. their respected foreman . Now , as there is a surveyor appointed by government to superintend all Iron Steam Vessels , is it not placing the masters and thnt gentleman in a very _unfavourable light , could credit be given to the grosB f * sehoods Covlett has asserted ? What will the Messrs . Maudsley , Field , and Co ., Messrs . Seaward and Co ., Messrs . Miller and Ravenhill , Mr . Fairbairn , Mr . Penn , Messrs . Robinsons , and other Master Boiler Makers say , if they hear of Corlett's falsehoods . While desirous of improving our own conditions , wc desire to maintain the reputation of our employers . Sir , I will not further trespass on your valuable columns . By inserting this you will oblige the Friendly Boiler Makers Society of the London District .

We , the undersigned , having heard the above read in general meeting assembled , approve of its contents , and hereby authorize Brother Alexander Fletcher , to forward the same to the Northern Star _fsr insertion .

Oldham. On Sunday Last, Mr. Robert Wild ...
LAVINGT 0 N . A meeting was held here last Tuesday evening the National Petition was adopted , CHARTIST ASSEMBLY AND READING ROOM , 83 , DEAN-STREET . This elegant room was densely crowded by the friends ofthe Charter on Sunday evening , October 18 th , to hear a lecture from Mr . Philip M Grath on " Government , its uses and abuses . " Mr . W . loung Sowter , was unanimously called to the chair . Tub LECiunEtt proceeded to review t he tnrce estates of the realm , " King , Lords , and Commons and took the position of denying the truth or ne axiom kid down by those famous political writers , Thomas Paine and William Godwin , " that Government is a necessary evil , " stoutly conten ding that good government must be good , and not an evil , ne said the fallacy of making two branches of our legislature hereditary was rendered obvious , as neither judges nor bishops were hereditaryand surely it the
, hereditary principle was good , it would be applied in the latter cases . As regards the so-called " Commons , " it was not a Ilouse of Commons at all , seeing that the majority ofthe common peop le were denied the right of a Yoico in electing its members , and its members were composed of the sons ol Peers , their nominees , Baronets , Knights , Officers in the army , navy , & c , die . We talked of _Constitutions , but his opinion was that England wanted a Constitution . He thought tho laws should be based on the laws of God , aa the laws of God and of nature partook largely of the essence of equality . He knew their were some who would not take any but an indifferent part in advocating the suffrage for man . who were yet active in advocating the rights of suffrage for women . He could not perceive the necessity oi giving woman the suffrage . He thought when their Charter enfranchised men , that their brothers and
husbands would protect their rights . Tbe abuse ol govermont was shewn in the adoption of Poor-laws , Enclosure Bills , < fcc . Mr . M'Grath then alluded in _lauditory terras to the Reading room established in that Institution , and detailed its great merits and advantages to the working classes , and strongly appealed for support in its behalf . He also mentioned with approbation the Central Ltegistratton and Election Committee , and hoped tbe men of Westminster would not fall to elect a local committee to act in concert with it , as with united exertion the people would easily perform their state task of returning twelve members to represent their interest , and aid and assist Thomas _Slingsby Duncombe in procuring such a constitution and government as should reform all " abuses , " and be of " use" to the whole community . Mr . M'Grath was repeatedly cheered _during tbe delivery of his eloquent address .
At the conclusion . Mr . Stallwood rose , _andgaid the Lecturer had taken a startling position , to deny the old Radical axiom that " Government was a necessary evil . " It wonld take a much stronger argument than any the lecturer had adduced to convince him that government was not an evil . Then as regarded the non-extension ot the ' , franchise to woman , he could not agree with that . He mixed much with the female portion of the community and he found great intelligence amongst them . History both sacred and profane , gave them many instances ol valiant and daring conduct on the part of womenactions which set rare examples to men . Even in our own time we bad some most brilliant examples . Had there not been Mary Wolstoncrafts ? Was
there not Margaret Reynolds ( Mrs . Chapplesmith ) . Mrs . Martin , and last , not least , Mary Howitt ? Would tbeir lecturer venture to tell him , that highly intelligent , virtuous women like tkese , should be denied the right ofthe franchise , whilst it was given to the most stupid of men ? Again , would the lecturer tell him that the brothers and husbands ofthe aristocracy had taken care of tbe interests of their female relatives ? Was it not notorious that they had gambled and wantone ' d away their patrimony . Mr . T . M . _Wiieeleu ably followed on the same side—and said as regarded the question whether
" Government , was a necessary evil , " himself and Mr . Samuel Kydd had challenged Mr . M'Grath , or any other person , to a discussion in that or any other place , at any time they might please to name . For his part , he contended that government ruling as it did Ly majorities , must to all intents and purposes be an evil to the minority—who were compelled to submit to that majority . After a strong appeal in favour of the rig ht of woman to the suffrage , Mr . Wheeler gave way to Mr . W . D . Rufft _* _. who most eloquently and ably supported the right ef woman to an equal share in the Elective franchise , and the affairs of government with man .
Mr . Jons Dowlisg agreed with the Lecturer , and thought if the suffrage was extended to woman , —it wouid interfere with domestic happiness . Mr . M'Grath replied—stating that he did not deny the right of women to the suffrage , but he doubted the policy , and much questioned the necessity . Give us the "People ' s Charter , " and then if found necessary he would be quite willing to go into the question of Woman Suffrage . As to the other proposition relative to a discussion , he was ready to undertake a discussion , or that question " Government an evil , " at any time .
Mr . W . Robso . v , in moving a vote of thanks to the Lecture * - , said with Mr . _Al'Grath's eloquent lectures he generally agreed , but as Mr . M'Grath agreed in principle on rig ht of Woman Suffrr . - _* e , he thought it was frivilous in him to care about its policy , however , he had much plersure in moving the thanks oi the meeting to him , and hoped to hear a discussion on the point in dispute , discussion being well calculated to bring out latent talent . Mr . W . D . _Rcffv seconded the motion which was carried by acclamation . Mr . _M-Giuiu made a suitable reply , and the meeting dissolved . Several members were added to the roll of the National Charter Association , and an addition was likewise made to the shareholders of the Laiid Society ; whilst the signatures to the National Petitioii were much augmented .
BRIERLEY , YORKSHIRE . Or . Sunday evening a public meeting was held at the Faint Revived Inn , North Brierley , to take into consideration the propriety et forming a branch ot the Chartist Co-operative I and Society and Chartist Association . Mr . Fox was called to the chair , who , in a brief manner explained the object of the meeting , and called upon E . Hurley to move the first resolution , which was as follows : — That , as the all-wise director of nature ' s laws destined man to be a free and independent being , this meeting view ? with indignation the inconsistent manner in which
the rulers of the earth destroy the fundamental principle that should couduct human society ; namely , the right of overy citizen to participate in the making of the laws by which he is to be governed . Mr . Hurley , in a clear and forcible manner , explained the principles of the People ' s Charter , and the benefits to society by its adoption . Mr . John Jennings seconded the resolution , and contrasted the state of society as at prcsentconstituted , and what it would be under the principles of the Charter . The motion was carried unanimously . Mr . Smyth moved the second resolution : —
That in the opiuion of this meeting tho only sure and tangible mode of relieving the working classes of this country from the fear of poverty and want , and aid them to the restoration of his undoubted right to be first partakers of the fruits of his own labour is by joining and becoming members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; we , therefore , pledge ourselves , indm . dually and collectively , to use our endeavours in carrying out the objects of the society in this neighbourhood , Joseph Aldetson seconded the _resolution , and explained the objects and benefits to be derived from the occupation of tha land in a political and social point of view . Mr . William Ross , senior , supported the motion , followed by . Mr . John Dobson , to the great satisfaction of the meeting . The resolution was carried unanimously .
Several questions were put and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting . Officers wero then appointed , and half a score entered , and paid a portion of money towards their shares . A vote of thanks was tendered to the chairman , and the meeting adjourned to Sunday ( to-morrow ) at six o'clock in the evening . The greatest attention was paid to the speakers . Thus has Landism and Chartism found its way to a remote , thoueh populous district , of hardworking though ill-paid working men .

Oldham. On Sunday Last, Mr. Robert Wild ...
CHARTISM AMONGST THE MIDDLE CLASSES . Another " sign ofthe times" has arisen _rthe shopkeeping or distributing class , _have [ at length thought fit to discuss the six points of the People s Charter ! On Thursday evening , October 22 nd , Mr . J . Swaine , a master tailor , residing at No . 379 , Oxford-street , brought forward , at the Globe Tavern , Great Tichfield-street , Marylebone , the following questions for the consideration of his brethren of the middle classes . " That , it is the opinion of this meeting , that every man , who Is of mature age , oi sound mind , and unstained by crime , has a right to a voice in the _election of members of Parliament , to the establishment of equal electoral districts ; of annual parliaments ; of the payment of members for their services ; and the abolition of the property qualification . "
Mr . Swaine , very ably supported his proposition , shewed that universal suffrage was acknowledged by the Act , passed in the 35 th year of Edward the Confessor , that it existed until the time of the distranchising statue of Henry the Sixth . That the first sovereign who had the power of poroguing or dissolving parliament , was William , who reigned with Mary , that annual or sessional ) parliaments prevailed for a period of 300 years . He quoted Pryne , Coke upon Littleton , and several others in support of his ' proposition , and Dr . Johnson , he remarked , Baid , at this happy period , ono goal _wamore than sufficient to hold all thecriminals ir _^ England . He concluded his able argument by desiring the votes of his crowded auditory in favour of his proposition , and sat down loudly applauded , lie was followed by a gentleman , who contended that universal suffrage did not exist during the Saxon Era , but had no objection to it under existing circumstances .
# youth then rose , and wished to draw a distinction between Radicalism and Chartism , and declared himself a Radical reformer , at the same time , said it would be ridiculous to grant universal suffrage and annual parliaments at the present time . He was for education , and then progression . Mr . Stallwood followed in support of the proposition . A gentleman , from - " the City House of Commons , " rose and said , he did not like Chartist policy of the old Radicals . The time for adjournment having arrived , the question was adjourned until Thursday evening next , at uine o ' clock .

\Y. Davis, Manchester .—The Report Of Th...
\ Y . Davis , Manchester . —The report of the meetings holdcn on Monday last should have reached us before Friday ; we must postpone the report till nest week . Joseph _Botvden , Hindley , writes that on the 17 th of August last , be sent a resolution which was not inserted in the Star , of which the following ; is a copy : " 'Chat the shares be sold at a premium of not less than £ 20 for four acres , and £ 10 fcr two acres . " We never before heard of the resolution . J . L . T . —If fourteen months ago you were " blamed fora bastard child , " and run away from " a certain town _, in consequence , it is pretty strong proof you are conscious that you were rightly blamed . You now want to go back to the " certain town" and think that because you have been absent more than 12 months , you are ssfc against being made to pay for the support of the child . We hopa you will find out your mistake .
As we never had to ruo away for bastard children we don't know the law of such a case , but we should be sorry to know that the law could not reach you . T . _Eveieigh _, Loughborough . —It is preposterous to expect us to look through three or four months copies of the NortJiern Star to find an obscure paragraph of news _respecting a drunken soldier . We beg to assure our correspondent that wo don't know what " waite time , " or " 6 pare time" meaus . If Any One of the Star Headers would forward me a Northern Star of Saturday , the Oth of June , 1810 , 1 should feel greatly indebted to him , as I want it for a very particular purpose ; I would return tho value ofthe same in postage stamps , if required . Witbam . Chab _& es Fish . Wigan—John Lenagan appeals to the _warkine ; men of Wigan and its vicinity , to rouse again and rally for the Charter .
A Suggestion . —Allow methro » ghthe medium of your invaluable journal , to make a suggestion ag to the fovmillg of Youths Soeiety in London for the purp -se of advocating the glorious principles of the People ' s Charter . Youths' Societies have been formed » nd carried out with great energy in the teetotal morement j and I see no reason why they should not be formed in connexion with the Chartist Association , for all must admit , when the preseat generation have passed away , it will be highly necessary that a vouthful generation should be ready to take their place * to obtain , or _ifobtaine'l to defend , the liberty of their country . Trusting that the Chartists generall y will take this suggestion into their consideration , I remuin , your obedient servant , N . Robin jon . We receivud , on Wednesday evening , a post-office order for the sum of Cs . from Hexham , but ive are at a loss to know from whom , or for what purpose it is to be applied . Thomas Stretch . —We have forwarded your letter to . the C :-. ¦ _tra _l Committee of the United Trades .

Dufficid . —We can see no utility in publishing jour _leugthy communication , which fully proves that jou have acted unwisely , and that the Committee have only acted in accordance with the rules ofthe _Asso . ciation . A Few last _Wobds to a Fellow named Waddington . —According to announcement I _atteudud at the Gerl man Society ' s R _** ora , on Monday evening last * on Tuesday evening I attended at tho Chartist Executive Office , and again the same evening at the German Society ' s Room . You did not make your appearance although you well knew of the announcement in the Star . On Thursday you had the impudence to send me a nolo , in which you say , " At present I am very much ocaupicd with business engagements : but in a few days I shall send you an invitation to meet me it
a Public Meeting . " _Huw can you hare the impudence to talk of business arrangements ; you miserable cadger How was it your " business arrangements " did not prevent you goiinr stealthil y to the German Society ' s Room , without giving me any warning , and in my absence like a cowardly assassin , as you are , endeavour _, _ingtouijuro me in the estimation of men , who knowing little of the history of Chartism , you thought you could impose on . As to your fudge invitation to a Public Meeting , I of course estimate it at its worth*—no more . I have been blamed on all sides for noticing such an insignificant animal as you ave _, but my excuse is , that , whereas I should have thought any tiling you could say at a Chartist Meeting unw _. rthy of mj notice , I yet _fdt bound to give tho fullest replr to anv _chargB that could be made against me before men who have not been mixed up with the Chartist movement , and with whom I have become but recently associated .

challenge I addressed to you last week , has fnll _yaj , _gured my German friends of your rascality . For y 0 Ur own sake 1 advise you to henceforth shun theirroom , as , if you do not , you ) will be kicked into the gutter , jf you have any charges against my public character , how i » it you only now bring tbem forward ? For years I have been before the _puW-c , and for years you have had the means of preferring your charges , if you had any to prefer . Recently you have met me at several Chartist meetings , why were you silent at those meet * ings ! You was at the supper of the Fraternal _Dsmo . crats on the 21 st of September last , why did you not then speak out ? At several of those meetings you forced your conversation upon me , speaking the Jan . _gua-jo of friendship . Only two nights before you abused me behind my bick at the German Society ' s Room , you was at the St . Pancras meeting and there spoke to me , apparently in all friendship .
Are you not a Janus-faced scoundrel ! You are morally disqualified to accuse any man . Within the last few days I have , for the first time , ascertained why _youjarejso much disliked by the Chartist body ; I thought that dislike arose from your meddling , busybodying manner , but 1 find there are other reasons , which a backward glance at your past life will remind j _* ou of . Your own character renders any defence against your calumnies a most unnecessary undertaking . As to public meetings , I shall , in " all probability , be at many public meetings in tbe course of the ensuing winter , when you will know where to find mc if you dare to meet me , My public life is before the public , and my public " character cannot be injured by such a thing as you ; therefore , lie , rave , and howl as you please , until your " whitened sepulchra" of a face is as black as your _ebony-coloured heart . Further notice would but degrade myself . G . J . _IIaknet .

Leeds.—The Same Dull 6tate Of Trade Cont...
Leeds . —The same dull 6 tate of trade continues in our Cloth Halls as has been the case of late ; the _foreign . houses are scarcely in the market at all , and the home buyers purchase with the greatest _aaution and only for present need ; prices are however pretty steady , but the manufacturers complain heavily ofthe want of profit . Manchester , Friday evening . — The great excitement in the _Lircrpotl market has only caused people to look to short time in earnest , as wc can scarcely get a faction advance on goods , and in yarn but little . Althoug h there is as yet no organised plan for the adoption of short time , it is more or less spreading , and we think , before the middle of next month , many of the large concerns will have commenced . Bradford , Thursday . —Thercis comparativelyalimited demand for wool , but prices are firmly maintained , as tbe staplers conceive that they cannot replace their stock at less prices . The yarn trade is steady , and prices the same . Tlie export houses arc still large buyers . Figured pieces are now out of request , and plain Orleans , iVamattas , & c ., in ( _iuired for .
_Huddersfifld , Tuesday . — There has been but little animation in the market to-day , and , with the exception of a few sales of kerseymeres and heavv fabrics business has been at a comparative stand . Trade is also ' very duil in the warehouses . Halifax , Saturday . — Our hopes of improvement in trade do not yet seem in a ( way to be realised . The demand for both wool and manufactures is languid , and prices not well supported . In the wool market quotations run about £ 11 * s to £ 1110 s for middle wethers , and £ 16 5 s common noils broke . These latter hold up better than combing kinds .
Kotiinguam . —Lace : —Business has been rather quiet this week , the Loudon and more distant buyers not having come in their ordinary numbers to market . Prices remain as before . The fear of further advances iu the list of yarns , of coarse numbers , docs not yet operate to raise the value of the wrought lace goods ' . If the Manchester spinners _qbtain high rates here , either coarse lace articles will advance , if worked at all , or the machines must work to a certain loss . Hosiery : We have great satisfaction in being able to report that all the various branches of this important trade continue in a healthy state , with fully as large an amount of business doing as is customary at this season of tiie vear .
_GlASgow .-CoUoii Yarns : The market has been very quiet , and although spinners are asking an advance in price , it is very difficult to obtain it . Fine yarn , say from 80 ' s to _1-50 's , has in many itistances , realised the advance in price , but the market has been very full of numbers under that at former quotations . Cotton Goods : We cannot perceive any improvement in the market for general descriptions since last report . For some particular sorts there is rather move inquiry , but even for these the demand is very limited .
