We cannot close ihis notice inthout returning to ovr readers , subscribers , ' end agents , Sur best thanks for the unexampled patience they have evinced in considering the difficulties ire have so long had to contend with—difficulties which have never Been surmounted , or attempted to be sur-9 aouTii-ed , by any other Newspaper—and in receiving oh that account , withscheerfulnesa and satis f action meny copies of the Star , of a character far different frontj , that which we could have wished to gire them ; but which we were taxable to do from the feet of beina < ompelled to
o to press at an unreasonably early period of the week . Our Machinery vas ^ only calculated , at its utmost stretch , to supply a circulation of about 20 , 000 , while the demand for more thanf ight months , has been greatly more than double -that number . TJiis . not only obliged -us to go to press early , to the exclusion of much -valuable News , but it also- not unfrPquentf y caused our agents to hare much trouble and inconvenience from an irregular and insufficient supply . Every exertion that mortals could stake was made , by every one , in every department of the paper ; and yet were they ? in spite of all that ire eould do , often badly printed , deficient in quantity , and much worse made up than ve could
hate wished ; but such is the inflexible attach-: tnent of the people to principle , whenever they j see it honestly and fearlessly maintained , that \ all these disadvantages , any on ? of which sr . igh ! j have destroyed the circulation of any other paper , j produced no effect on ours , ichich continued , and j still continues , weekly to increase , in " spile of every \ discouraging circumstance . We cannot but feel , grntified , tciih" this most unequivocal attestation , i Jhst our honest efforts and - . cell meant er . dea- \ vours , are duly appreciated by the peoph . The \ increased facilities -which ice have now obtained , j shall be taxed to their full stretch to give value und importance and efficiency to the National Organ . I ' *

man at the late Chartist meeting on St . Peter ' s-hill ) io take the chair . Mr . Greig then desired those in faTonr of Jlr .

Johnson to hold op both their hands , asserting that thi 3 had teen nono in Hr . Jones ' s case , thought EUth -was eertanily not generally the case . This was done amidst the protestations of the opposite party , and Mr . Greig then said that he could not decide -which had the majority . Another show- " _ of " " "hands subsequently took place , when the lecturer announced , amid the most deafening cheers , that the choice of the meeting l , ad fallen upon Mr . Jones . Mr . . Greig-then came forward ,. and addressed the andience for upwards of two -hour ? , daring "which he was listened mia at tbe > te Chartist meetia- on St . PeterVbill ) do take the chair , llr . Greic then dftsirwl thnK « in
to with great attention , and often vehemently ap ^ planded , Trhilc not the slightest interruption whatever was made by any onfc present , though it was quite clear that a majority of the meeting was of opinion that ilr . Greig ' s nostrum for the evils which afflict the country would prove an inadequate one . It -would be useless to report the letrnre , as it consisted of the usual statements and arguments which have been repeated over and over' again . jusque ad nauseam . Suffice >* t-o say that the loeturer / was very harsh in bis denunciations against the' House of " Lords , Sir Robert Peel , and the landlords in general , though he took rood care not to exalt the virtues of the factory-lords and moneymongers whose hired . servant he is—that he was very glowing in his description ef " ell the comfort .
and a // the happiness , and all the cujovment , aud all the delight which would accrue to tno working man who earns ten shillings a' week , if by a repeal of the Corn Laws , he should have to expend ono shilling per week less for bread—that he very eloquently . gave his hearers to understand that one of the fifi > t effects of the repeal of these laws would be the swe eping of ' the " gallowses" from ihe face of the land—and that , in a xno ? t masjniScont peroration , he depicted in . glowing colours the dissatisfaction and discontent of the agriculturists when the low price of grain caused plenty to overflow in all our borders , ( though he neglected to inform his hesrers vrhen such a case occurred , but very wisely left it to their imagination to conceive ) and the glee and revelry of the said agr iculturiyts when the high
price cf com spread want and wretchedness and crime over the country , filling the prisons , and finding food for the - gallowses , " ( and certainly , if the farmers do rejoice under snch circumstances their lives must be a perpetual jubilee . )—Mr . Fleming , editor cf the , V « r Moral Wcrld , rose from his seat in tie body of the meeting when the lecture was conclnded , and inquired -whether he Wcnlil be permitted to address ihe meeethsg . —The Chairman replied in the affirmative : upon which Mr . Fleming mounted the table , and proceeded to address the audience . He said that at that late hour of the night it -would be impossible lor Lin to follow Mr , Grcis through the talented and eloquent lecture which ne had so well delivered . He fell that , in coming fonvard apparently as an
opponent of Mr . Greig , on the subkvt of the repeal of the Corn Laws , he subjected nimself to much misunderstanding . He agreed fundamentally with the lecturer as to the principles of free tra < Ie , but differed from him when he maintained that a repeal of the Corn Laws would be a sufficient remedy Here Mr . Greig , Avho had been watching iklr . Fleming with great anxiety , interrupted that gentleman , and said that if lie (' Mr . Fleming ) thought that he could produce a better remedy for the evils of the Corn Laws than a repeal of those 3 awa and would be -trilling to guarantee his share of the expenses of a public discu- ? ion , he would be happy to meet him to discuss the express remedy f or the express evil complained of . { Applause . } Ois the present occasion the room was hired by
himself . Tliis announcement , which was equivalent to a refusal t-o discuss tlic matter v . ith Mr . Fleming , on the present occasion , seenml to excite much -v . x priie ; as it was clearly ihe general opinion that Mr . Greig , in common -with the oilier anti-Corn Law lecturers , would court opposition instead , of shunning it . —Mr . Fleming said that such be ' nig the cn = e , it was with much p 3 ea . mre he had heard the challenge thrown out by Mr . Grcicr , aud lie would accept the offer in the same spirit in . which it was jnyen . At the Eaiae time , however , lie would not allow himself to be sl . nckied by the narrow limits within which Mr . Grcig appeared to hope to confine the discussion . He would "wi .-ii the question to stand thus : — "Will a repeal of the C ' orn Laws produce thoa ..- effects which its' advocates iiuicau uie io i \ ir
»>; -u people expect — ,-. ureig then agreed to discuss the-tfwestion as proposed bv Mr-. Fleming ; and it was arranged that the -discussion should take place on . Saturday evening ( "this tiay ) at seven o ' clock . Eaili of the speakers to occupy half an hour at the commencement , and tubse-< jufiitly a quarter of an bunr ; the discn-sion to close by ten . Admission gTatis . —Mr . J . lllingworth liere presented him > flf to the meeting , and , after eulogizing the Lecturer , stated he had a resolution to propose , whirh , with their . permission , he would read to them . This occasioned much uproar , many being of opinion that as Mr . Fleming had been prevented from delivering his ^ tBtinjejit * , it ivas not fair that Mr . IUhigworth should be hoard . —In the midst of the tumult , the Chairman announced that Mr ; Wood of Campsall-hall v .-aa present , ? . ud would address the
meeting . This aui . ouucemcnt v . as received with great applause , and Mr . Wood presented himself amid deafening chci-r * . He said that in coming forward to move a voto of thanks to the Lecturer , he was afraid that , as Lc was a comparative stranger among them , be .- }>< i ; i ]«] jav hiinself open to a charge of presumption . ( Cries of "No , no 1 " ) He considered , however , that his testimony to the truth of much that Mr . < : rc ) g h-d a-lvauml would have some weight with them , as he was entirely connected-with land himself , and the entire , property of his family was also in laud . He fell great plcaycre in mo-vjn " ' a vote of thar . Ic 3 to the able Lecturer . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) TIio motioji was then seconded , and put to the meeting , but the chairman did not announce that it was carried . —Mr . llliugwortli then
again came forward , and , amidst much interruption , succeeded in moving a resolution to the effect that it was useless to expert a repeal of the Com Laws from a legislature constituted like the present , and that sucli repeal must neccssaril y . be preceded bv TniTtrsal Suiii-agt-, protected by " Vote by Ballot . ( Tremendon ? di . vrhig . ) liiis reioluiion hn . vi ! : ij been seconded , ihe chairman -n-as about to put it to the intttilig , when great opposition -was manifes-ti d by the friends of bolii Me » . -rs . Greig and Flemhij-The latl-tT feeKtleiiian having succte < ied in obtaining a partial beaT ; n . 2 , ta ! - ! that the audience had precluded themselves f ; x . m pa . ssing the resolution by agreeing that the merits of the questiou 6 f repeal should be discussed next Saturday . What would they think of a jury who gave in their verdict will - out evidence I He trusted tLat they would uot so fur
stultifv themselves . Mr . Fleming then moved as an amendment to Mr . njingworib ' o resolution , that -tlic meeting xlo adjourn till next . Saturday night . TLo amendxneiit liaving fccc-i ! seconded , -was then pat to the meethif by list -chairman , followed by the original resolution , when the amendment was declared to be cairie < l , a ;; d the meeiiug was consequentIv adjourned to Saisirday . From tbe results of this la .-t division as compared with that on the nomination of the chairman , it would appear that the llepealcrs and Chartists in the meeting were pretty nearlybalanced ; and that tbe Socialists , by voting against the former on ihe Domination of chairman , and against the latter oi < Mr . lllingworth ' s resolution decided the fate of both questions . Had Mr Fleming ' s influence been employed for Mr . lllhsgwortffs resolution , it vronld nave been carried by a considerable majoriiv .
