      dav _niiitr , _Pulice-constable Hodgson , who resides somewhere in _Manchester-rnari , Bradford , and who was in plain _clotheB , and off duty , was proceeding _across the road to a barber ' s .-. hep , for the purpose ot getting shaved , when h _s attention was attracted to a band of men , who , armed with deal staves , about six f _» et in _length , were marching two deep , under the command of one of cavaiier aspect—an ancient soldier who was _apparently drilling thera in military evolutions . With more zeal tban discretion , the constable went up to the leader and _a--. ked bis name , but he had no sooner done so than be was attacked by several of the party . He called out for _assignee , and on several of the police an dutv immediately

      eomim- up , one of the _assailants was captured . The pris ' _-ner _, in the midst of a small escort of police , was marched some distance down Manchester-road _, followed by an unruly crowd . Police-constable Hodgson then attempted to capture another of the party who made an assault upon bim , but as a volley of brickbats and Btones was thrown amongst the pnl ' _ue at that moment , all of thi-m were more or less injured , and tbeir prisoner was rescued . Intimation of the affray having reached the Borough Policeoffice _, a body of police constables was marched to the New Inn , where they remained , out of sight , till half-past two on Sunday morning . At that hour the mob h » d dispersed . About twenty minute ** to eleven on Sunday nieht , a body of men , computed at 200 ,

      marched in military order , and with long _staveB , down _Victoria-Btreet _, in Manchester-road . It is reported they were returning from drill near Spring Wood , in B iwling . Commandetg were at their head , and the feet of this companv'fell t > the sound ot a regular regimental step . About half-past two on Monday morning , a body id sixty men marcbi d in military order through Duke-street , and dispersed in _Manchester-rond . It is siid , that on - _^ -unday evening , bodies of Chartists were assembled at various points of the neighbourhood , ready for action ( it required ) with the police . Reports of drilling being practised nightly , by numerous bands of men , have reached UBfrom various parts of the neighbourhood . —Bradford Ohxe . rnr . r

      Tyranhy , —Tbe coal miners of _Aspull , near Wigan , request that you will insert the following communication in your next paper . A few weeks ago a collier in the employ ofthe Earl of BalrarreB , named William Wallis , was required to work on what is usually designated in tke neighbourhood of Aspull play Monday , ' this . rder he peremptorily refused to submit to , on account of its bei _> g contrarv to the understood . arrangtmc-htB between c tillers and their employers .

      Equal Electoral District * . He _maintained the right of the landed proprietors to preserve _gsm < _- provided that their tenants be not injured ; but he would consent to a committee of inquiry respecting the Game Laws , and thought them capable of improvement . He advocated religious liberty to the _greateat extent . —Mr Vincent declared himself a supporter of the four points involved in thr > present reform movement . As to Household Suffrage , he should take that as an instalment of a debt long due to the people . He waa lor tbe abolition of the Game Laws—for a revision of the probate and legacy dutie _* , and of the property and income taxso as to impose a larger burthen on real and per . mam-nt property .

He opposed the Game Laws , and condemned our present state of gaol discipline , which , inbtead of being a corrective of crime , was one of its greatest nurseries . He contended that our present system of taxation was unjust and oppressive to the industrious cIasBe 9 .

      To The Edi*F0b Of The Wontnbbn -Fltab . ...

      TO THE EDI _* F 0 B OF THE WOnTnBBN -flTAB . Sia , —At the request of several members of the Jour _, uejmen Steam Engine , Machine Mi / _fctrs , and Mill _, _ivrignts' Friendly Society , I write- to _oontradiot a few statements contained in a letter which appeared fn tho StaB of May 13 , headed , The Persecuted Shoemakers , and signed AlxnBd « r Fletcher , boiler maker . He tells us , after stating that _Mosars { Parker , Peel , and Jacobs , were _een-t for to Manchester , by . requ _* Bt of the _^ legates of lha . Boiler Makers Society , that they , In company with the general secretary of-tho . Boiler Makers

      Society waited upon the delegates of the Mechanics _Society ' ( then sitting in Manchester ) to ascertain ' tbeir intentions respecting j -ining the National _Trader ' _jnat { he delegates _attended—senttbeir . _oredentialBinto the room , an-1 that tho M . cbanios sent _th-. ir gener » l oecretary ! Mr Selsby , who told them tbat they could not be admitted te nn audience ; and that tbey , the ' Mechanics , ' could mot think of low _< ring themselves to an equality with other trades . And this , alter pocketing £ 130 of their _raooey , not two months befora , subscribed ta assist at tbe trial ¦! of the men at Newton . '

      Now , sir , here Is tbe faot of the case . Previous to our delegate _meeting of last _Whitsuntide , we had o rule wbicb prohibited members of oar society belonging to another _tradctj society , and consequently our members could not join the National Trades Society . But previous to tbe deputation of the National Trades Society waiting up n ue , the question had betn Introduced . di « cu _« sed _, and decided upon , and the result waa a relaxation of tha' rule in favour of the National Traded Association , in _connrqu-nceofits natioaal character , and its intention of _bentfitinR all classes of trades . In relation to that rule prohibiting our members j _atnlng any oher trades society , tho following _resolut _' on was unanimously carried : — * That the words 'excepting tho National Trades Society , ' be inserted in this rule , with tho understanding that branches may join if the members are nicreeabtc , but that it shall not affect Individual members should they think proper not to join . '

      That , sir , is the resolution verbatim , which is now a rolo of our Bflclety _, end some of our members bave t » ken advantage of it , and bscome _members of th . nt _aisociatioo ; In fact , In one place they have formed n branch in connexion with it . This I think is a complete refutation of tbe misrepresentation of 'Alexander Fletoher , Boiler Makrr . ' That Mr Selsby should make use of snch language to the delegate' is impossible ; ho was instructed to _Btate te the deputation , ' That we had already considered and decided upon the _matttr , and likewise to Inform _thtm of tho

      resolution we bad come to . ' This he dirt , arid I om sure that Mr Selsby is incapable of using language bo _disrospi-ctful and so opposed to _falrntss and honesty , as is there attributed to him ; besides you will find byreKrinee to the Stab of the week subsequent to the deputation waiting upon the ' Mechanics , ' that the _mlailonarleB of that body kindly acknowledge the decision we hud come to , and speak of it in _o very favourable manner . Tbis , air , I think , shows that ' Alexander Fletcher , Boiler M « ker , _Ms much fonder of ' _srelng his name in print , ' than of _wrltlne that whieh is true .

      With regard to the shoemakers , the first word that I , and those to whom I have Bpokcn npon the subject , have heard , is contained in theletttr _hereallud . d to , wbich I should rot hive seen , had my attention ntt been especially _niri-cted to it ; we havo not received any _representatli . n of the case , nor _hflt-fl we been asked for any assistance . V 7 e are at all times thankful to all trades who assist us in times of difficulty , and I hopo we _sbali at all times evince our gratitude in tbe return of similar kindness . But is Alexander Fletcher so ignorant ofthe fact , or so littlo accustomed to trades societies , as not to know that tbe funds of those societies con only be expen ed a- > tbe roles point eut , and that no portion of our £ 26 000 can be _applied to any but ihe purpose s it wns _Bubnrrihed for , and _tliat we cnuld rot even support our own

      Newton trials oat of thst fund , but had to raise voluiltury contributions ? Allow me to eay tbat I much regret that Mr Fletcher should have made so many enemies through advocating the cause , and making himself instrumental in raising £ 40 , towards the Newton trials . I had a hope that the money given , had been given with a good will towards tha cause , bdieving tbat all trades were equally Interested in the result of tbat trial , for there were _questions involved in it , which ifd < cid < d against us , would hare affeoted tbe boiler makers as much na any trade . Tho good intentions of one body towards another of tbem . selves , deserve the bindrst acknowledgment , and notwithstanding Mr Fletcher ' s enemies , I do not believe that tho boiler makers would cast their money to us with a bad grace but wbat they could spare they would give freely .

      I hrpe , Sir , in just ' eo to the men whose cbaracter as a body Is evidently traduced , that jou will find room for this _espl' nation , _nlthiuuli I see tbat you are almost over burdened with communications of another bind , and con ill _offiird space foraccu » atlon and explanation of this kiod , which would be better avoided ; and that men if thiy ore so amicus to figure in your c -Jumna , would at least confirm themselves to truths , and not carelessly _n nd _wrongfully civ ate feuds and _differences _htt ween bodlai of working men wbo should act with greater unanimity ; men who do thia . whatever tbey tblnk of themselves , are tbe greatest enemies working mrn have to contend witb , for they do not represent but calumnlite them .

      THE POLICY OF THE FUTURE . TO TnE EDITOB OF THE NOBTHEBH 8 TAB . Sib , —Mr Ernest Jones in his address ( _published in tbe last number o the Stab ) , has stated that the bustnets of the next Cbartist Conventien or Assembly , will not consist in deviling maims for oeocrtaininz tbo _legislative < nactment of tba Charter , but In proclaiming _^ . Now , I want to know what is to ho tke precise tenor or intent of such a proclamation 1 Am I to understand that the said proclamation ia to bave the force of statute law 1 Are the people In virtue of such proclamation , without any other sanction , to assert aud carry into practice the right of votinir for parliamentary candidates ? Are they to disregard the property _qualification * Are the mem . bers so elected to present themselves for admission

      within the walls of St Stephen 1 Because , if they do so under the _present system , I think the result msy be clearly foreseen at the present moment . Now , Sir , as we are all agreed , ' Tbat taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisted , ' before I subscribe to the _expenditure sought to be incurred , I insist upon an explanation , tbe obvious advantage of which ic , to prevent future misunderstanding , or confusion . A _

      They have asked for o grant ef £ 10 , 000 , without statins tbe time in which it should be collected , or the number that would bo found willing to pay it ; now , if them be 5 000 subscribing Chartists , the said levy will omount to £ 2 a bead . If tbfs amount la to be collected in one year , tbe devotees will have to pay rather more tban _nincptnee a week for twelve calendar months , besides _thetr other _expensoe . Will this be done 1 Cm the people afford it ? are questions that _naturally Bug . nest themselves . Hence the absurdity of _^ proportioned demands ! T fully concur in your observations on the Iato Assembly , and likewise in its proper sense , measures end men , by which I mean , the men who with such signal credit to _themsi-lves , have been so long known to the public as the faithful advocates of certain measures , in preference te mushrooms or _pamiitu of whom no pre . _vious bnowledgo can bo had .

It bas only this doy come to my knowledge how the matter is arranged . The _Chiswick division I am particularly acquainted with ; they choose a certain number of the * reepectatle' specials with an extraordinary quantity ot impudence , to go from door to door , and beg the means to raise their dinner ; and I can assure yon , these beggars aro so persevering that' no for an answer is out of the question . The couatry at largo might fee ranged , and two such men , ob a carpenter and _balf-pay officer , could not be found . Tbey would beat the best cadger that ever lived , and , no doubt , would be equal to any gourmand in the kingdom . So much for the _DOWBpapers' account of public dinners .

Wobkhen , —In presuming to address you on tha subject of the _Matchester No * and 5 Branches , allow me to say a few words in justification of tbeir pro _ceedings , in referenco to the banking of their funds and in doing ao , I wish it to be understood tbat it has IoDg baen the opinion of many of our members that our funds have been , and arc , put out to a disadvantage , inasmueh as tho trading _cIagbcb _oan _withdraw the money belonging tothe different trade and sick societies , and use it m a manner directly opposed to the Interest of the depositors ; and I may here say thst the reason why tho

      evil ot doing business with commercial banks has not been agitated in our _. ociety , arises frem the fact of there being no establishment in existence , where the working class * , could place their society fu ] , da with advantage to _themselves , until the Land and Labour Bank _*»» - « . tabhshedin connexion with the NotionslL _^ nd Company . The majorit y of the members of the above branches con . _sidenng that bank a safe one , and beneficial to our society , at onco commenced _businosu with tkat establishment ; and I most respectfull y protest against the illegal _intererence Of tho General Secretary and tbe _Executive _Council , who were led astray by him , and , though last not least , jour honourable _Belveu , witb _renpect to the pro-

      ceeaings of thoso branches , so long a » they acted Birwtly in accordance witb the rules that govern tho whole society . And I especially protest against the illegal and despotic decision of the late extraordinary delegate meet-Imr _, where It says that 'do branch of our society be allowed to bank _' their funds in the L _» nd nnd Labour Bank , and tbat this meeting _iastrnct eaoU branch that has deposited thetr funds in the s « mt > to withdraw them on or b _. fore the 29 tb of April , 1848 . ' And there is another disploy of thoir legislative wiBdom , where they _aiy that ' should any bank wbere a part of this society ' s money is deposited , be suspected of insecurity , the Executive Council ctball Investigate the _circumstanCOS , die . ' What on idea ! I should like to see the Executive Council going to examine the accounts ofa banker .

      Fellow-workmen , it is n < _cessaty tbat you should examine tbe doings ofyour late delegates ; by so doing , you will perceive the _inconsistxnee of ao < n » , and especially , of that extraordinary man ( the talented _delegate from London ) in bis propositions : Firstly— ' That in order to cultivate still further tbe good _understanding exls'lng among us , and to extend our union , ao as to create a _greater pow < r for tho protection of our interests , aad to endeavour to bring together all existing societies in suoh a manner as to enable them to act with au unanimity of _purpose upon all matters connected with tbe _general interest of the tri . de—We aU'borlso the General

      Executive Council to adopt tne following means : viz—to appoint Individual ! to visit eaeh branch , with a n quest to call meetings of the trade , & c . ' The above proposition Is a very _disirable one , and I hope that it moy bo carried ou ' , and thatthe day is not fur _distant wken we sr _. _sll throw < ff those aristocratic notions , and become united iu one grand National Trades' ABAoemtiOB .

      THE MIDDLE CLASSES AND THE _CHARIER . TO _FEAHQUB o ' C . _iNNOB , E'Q ., M . P . Sia , —As ono of the middle class- s of thia country , perhaps you will kindly g ive me _permission to advance a few words with reference to tbe feeling of that class upon tho subject of the _Ptoplo ' s Char er . But first , let me say lhat I , for one , _* ir , _fincerely rijoice at tbe present widespread agitation in tbis noble cause . We also much admire tbe courage , patriotism , and states msnlike tact which you have displayed as the honoured leader of this great movement , and fervently do I hope tbat the day is not far distant wben your unwearied exertions will be crowned _-Ith complete success . Now , sir , it has been often said tbat the w _>< olo of thr middle class are opposed to the points which constitute tbe Charter . Sir , I deny tho assertion ; for , I have lately had frequent opportunities of conversing with mtn of mind and intelligence on the matt , r , who think that , with the _oiceptioni f Universal Suffrage , the Charter is most reasonable , and ought to be the Oasis of ou ' i > riuafitiition

      There is no doubt , sir , that those who are adverse to the Charter—at least , many thousands of _tbero—have never taken the pains to accrtain what it is , nor hon It would operate if it became tbe law of tbe land . And yet _thete are tbe persons who are _tpt . _ktti ot eRb > i » x yonr opponents . _Pretty opponents , surely ! So tbat it is a gross fallacy to » ay that the whole of that class in society are against Chartism . I believe , _hewtver , tbat jou would have had many _adberentsfrom tho class to which 1 belong , had jour cause not been bo often marred and Injured by the depredations against pioptrty of a set of worthless fellows , wbo pretended to be identified with the Chartist movement .

      It is manifest that tbe prople are most unfairly and Inadequately r _« presented in the House oi Commons ; and it was only tbo other doy tbat a respectable trademau of this metropolis called my attention to t' e riagrace ' ul scene of ridicule which took placo in that house on the evening of Friday week , whilst Mr Cobden was speaking on the e . timates , and at the same lime said , 'that tbat was enough to make bim a Cbartist at once . ' Go on , sir , in your good cause , and heaven grant thar you msy ultimatel y triumph ! I venture to spy , that the Dlf 6 _ent'rs of England though not in your ranks at present , will exult at your _nncfienft

' 'To be Jure I do , ' says I ' it ' s every man havln' a vote and a voice in _makln' th 'Be laws that are to govern him ; and it comports witb reason , and stands tooomraon sense . ' 'Well , ' soys up ' what ' s all that when _it'a fried ! "Why , it amounts to this , and notbin ' more nor less : —Now , men of property nnd character make laws to govern ropues and vagabonds ; but , by your beautiful scheme of Universal Suffrage , rogues and vagabonds will make laws to govern meu of property and character . '

      This is not tbe first tit bit of tho kind that Ur Vickers bas introduced into bis tracts , and if all vecdersofobeap publications took the same view of tbe matter as I do , MrVicketB should be saved tbe trouble of insinuating bis poieoB very extensivel y for tbe future at tbo low _charge of one halfpenny , for he msy depend thst no more of _bfs _$ d ., Id ., or 3 d . stuff comeB into Nantwich through my agency txcopt on order .

      Address Of The Stone Mason's Nr London T...

      ADDRESS OF THE STONE MASON ' S nr LONDON TO THE TRADES OF _Tiir METROPOLIS , AND THE COUNTRY GENd RALLY . _U -

      Fuxlow Countrvmen , At a general meeting of thc masons of London held for the purpose of considering what steps sIkuiJ be taken in the present distressed state of the trade and lhe causes wbicb have led thereto , resolution s were passed , and a committee appointed to address tbe trades of London , soliciting their c o-operation in the formation of a union , which has for its object the complete abolition of the monopoly of leeis ] a tion , the monopoly of land , and other class pfifi leges , and thereby pave the way for the trades oi this country to employ themselves in their several branches of industry , and thus relieve them froro the horrors of starvation , partial employment , _antj other calamities , the inevitable consequences ofthe present system .

      We have long seen the necessity for a powerful and cordial organisation among the trades of this country , and particularly those of London ; and we now beg to submit to your consideration the follow ing propositions , as the basis of a union , which we really believe isbestcalculatedto ensuretheundivided support and cooperation of tbe trades of London and the country generally , and which we feel cer- ' tain can alone permanentl y better their condition . We therefore beg to propose tbat a great _< Metropolitan Trades Political and Social Union ' should be formed , in the first place , to demand of the government to extend the elective franchise to every man of _twenty-one years of age , untainted by crime .

      And that he shall be protected in the exercise of tbat right by the Ballot . That the Parliaments shall be Annual . That tlu-re _shs-11 be no Property Qualification for members of Parliament . And that such members shall be paid for their services . And secondly , — That a * B ard of Labour * should be formed , consisting of the most practical , and intelligent members—delegates from tbe dif . ferent branches of the proposed union , part of whom we would recommend should have seats in the legislature _, whose duties it should be to watch over the interests of the trades , to make tbe necessary arrangements with the government for a new organisation of labour , by selt-suppurting home colonies , and other industrip . l establishments .

      These are the two propositions which we submit to your consideration as the basis of a union , which nf vigorously acted upon , would , we believp , work but the regeneration ef mankind , not only in Eng . land , but all over the world . We have placed as tbe first proposition , — ' that for the full representation of tbe people , as deserving you- first attention , because we believe that without political power we never can have real social reformthat political independence must precede tocial equality ; in fine , we only look for the vote as the means to an end as the necessary machinery of a

      government , which sball carry out those , great and valuable relorms we have mentioned in the second proposition . Por certain are we ; and you must also be convinced from past experience , ' . hat the present government does not understand the question ofthe organisation of labour , or if its met bers do , so long as they are invested with unlimited powers , to per . pefuate class legislation , and feudal privileges , they will never permit ( nor make any arrangements witli ) the working classes to employ themselves upon the land , which is completely locked up against the people , by the feudal laws of entail and primo . geniture .

      And even if tbe present government could be prevailed upon to employ any _po-. tion of the working classes on the land , or in any other industrial capacity , they would only be employed as they ever have been under the present system , as a slave clsss ; the produce ot their industry would be systematically transferred to a master class , instead of being the property of the producers as would be the case under fhe direction of a government representing the whole people , acting in conjunction with a ' Board of La'iotir , ' whose business is would be to see that each industrial establishment should comprise all branches of trades , which in their ag . _gregate capacity would ensure the most economical production and distribution of wealth .

      In proposing to the trades the formation ofa union for the above objects , we by no means wish to interfere with our unions already existing ; on the contrary , we think such a union as we propose , would add vigour , and give support to our unions for trades purposes , and at once do away with the objections which we all have to mix up trade matters with political agitation ; and we believe that a very small weekly contribution would be sufficient to pay all expenses in carrying out ibis great projected movement . It is not for us to say what ought to be tbe rules or regulations for the union we propose , but we beg to submit for your consideration , as a commencement , that each trade should call a

      meeting as early as convenient , and tbat sucb meeting should pass resolutions agreeing to form a branch of the ' Metropolitan Trades Political and Social Union , ' and that immediate enrolment of members should at once take place , as well as the appointment of a business committee , and other necessary officers ; and that as soon as each branch shall have enrolled fifty members it shall be entitled to send a delegate to a central delegate council , whose business it will be to proceed energetically with the organisations of tbe trades ; and we have no hesitation in saying , if this plan , which we recommend , be commp _. nced in earnest , and acted on with energy , the trades of London will present a power and organic vitality which statesmen will

      know better than despise , but which they will ever treat with contempt so long as the trades are disunited . A great union of the trades thus constituted ) we believe , Would contain within itself the elements _successful political and social reform . For we should view with considerable anxiety and apprehension the perilous condition of our political ri ghts if conceded to us at once , unless we are united , and can meet in our respective societies and discuss the best mode of applying those rights for the establishment ol a new and a better order of things . And , therefore , while we lay down as the polftical basis of the union we propose , the necessity for tbe full enfranchisement of the people , we believe that sucb a union would be found to be a most power / ul snd invaluable instrument of instruction to the trades ia

      preparing their minds for the reception of their political rights , and their application to the legitimate direction of labour . Fellow countrymen , in conclusion , we ask you , will you be content to remain behind the rest of the nations of Europe , who bave lately made such mighty strides in the glorious cause of liberty aad human redemption ; il you are , then we proclaim to the world lhat you deserve the degraded and ignominious fate that awaits you , and the execrations of every lover of his species ; if , on the contrarv , you

      are determined to pre > s forward in this g lorious manumission , we implore you to commence the good work at once , and you may rely on the most energetic assistance and co-operation of the Masons ' branch of the proposed union . Signed on tbeir behalf , George Smith , President , _Richahd Thomas , Secretary . N . B—The above society meet every Thursday Evening at the Craven's Head , Drury-lane , and $ masons who are not yet members are invited t _» attend .
