SPIRIT OF THS LEEDS F 21 SSS . ( JFmmmtr Conlempora . net of this morning . ) REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER , _ We see with much satisfaction , from the com-Sranieation of our Manchester correspondent , that ifceJReformers of that borough have determined to nominate Robert Hydfi Greg , JEsq .. the eminent Saireali ^ rtensd cotton-spinner , for the representatioiT- ef the horonjgh , in the room of Mr . P ^ nlfeit TfiSnson . We hare Lad the opportunity of seeing ^ Ir . Greg ' s conduct on some public occasions of gftjai interest , both in public meetings and in more fsxiste deliberation ? , end we feel it our duty to say Hiathe bag always displayeda soundness of judgment , ata independence of spirit , a combined boldness and moderation , an attachment to freedom of every kind , an estent and variety of information , and a degree of tbiaJcbyrpo"vrer , Tvhich ought strongly to recommend idmto the confidence of the electors of Manchester .
His connexion with the trade of that great dannfaetaring district is also a Tery high qualification ; for the history of the past session , and , especially the debates vc the Corn la-srs , show the deplorable TCuat there is in Parliament of weH-infona&d , skrwd , snd able raen to defend the Interests of trade , ilr . Greg is at ihe present time in Switzerland , but " we feelconvmecd that lie is too weli-known in Manchester Io make his presence at the election necessarv . The Tories are about toputnp Sir George Mamy , former ] v the Colonial Minister , in op ]> osition to Ilr . Greg ; cmilie ^ rhave no chance of success . Mr _ SamGel Jones Loyd , the backer , -was in the first pl ^ . e solicited by the Liberals to allow him-elf to be pTuinnumiiiatioii , tut he declined the honour . — Merciiro .

About half-past eight a letter was received from the deputation jrhich left here on Monday , to wait upon Samuel Jone 3 Loyd , Esq ., to request hisrpermission to place him in nomination for this borough . Mr . Loyd , however , refused to stand in most positive terms , ilr . "Villiers vras then applied to , but he also refused . The deputation , at the time of unit ing , signified their intention to apply to 3 Ir . Austin , the barrister , but who of course had not seen 'kirn at that period .

George Clarke ^ Esq ., took the chair , and said that , a short time back , Mr . Birley and himself went up to London as a deputation from the Conservative Society to fix upon a Candidate in the event of an election . They had had an interview with the most distinguished staie-man in the kingdom , and he had recommended to their notice Sir George Murray . They were not j able to see Sir George at that time , as ho was from [ home , but they were assured on the first authority , I which will not admit of dispute , that he would stand I for Manchester if wanted . It should also be Tecol-I lected that Sir George had been a Member of the ( Administration , and there was no doubt but that he i would form a j ) art of the Cabinet when Sir Robert | Peel came into office , which they might rest assured | wonld not be long . ilr . Birley then moved that a [ deputation be appointed to wait on Sir George I Murray , and invite him to stand .

TlEpnE 5 E > TATio : < op Southwark . —Considerable activity has recently been displayed in tho borough of-Southwark , in favour of Mr .

During the present week meetings have been held at the Ship Tavern , Stole ' s-ond , Borough ; the Kinr ' i Arms Tavern , Old Kent-road ; tho Grapes . Southwark-bridge-road j and otber places : at the firstnamed Itteetbi" upwards of 100 electors attended , Mr . Btuer in the chair , when thefollowingresolulion was moved by Ilr . Day , seaonded by Mr . Wakeline , and carried unanimously : — " That this meeting having
heard the explanation of Mr . Walter ' s principles which are fully satisfactory , pledge themselves individually and collectively to use their utmost exertions to secure his return to Parliament xt the next vacancy . " At the King ' s Arms , Kent-road , Mr . W . 'W yles , one of the Guardians of St . George ' s , was called to the chair , and a similar resolution was passed unanimously . At the Grapes , Suffolkstreet , aad at other places , the same zealous determination was evinced in favour of Mr . Walter . The Tesult of these meetings , with the gcnen . 1 feeling in favour of Mr . " Walter throughout the borongh , leaves no doubt of his triumphant return to Parliament as soon as a Tacaney occurs .
The Thames Tktnel . —Yesterday-. ' the workmen employed in this great undertaking succeeded in reaching low water-mark , the accomplishment of whi « h taek causes all feaT of another irruption t&kiag |> lace to becomo allayed . Tho length of ths tnnntl is now 920 feet , being little short of thr » equarters of the whole distance which it will bo necessary to effect to reach the Middlesex shore , there being about 380 feet more to complete the entire Isngth . The average distance which tho workmen weekly accomplish is nine feet ; it is . therefors , expected that the tnnnel will be opened for passengers towards th « latter end « f the next
year . CAMBRIDGE , August 29 . The three candidates are still in the field , and it is s&id ^ hat Sir John Milley Doyle baa positively declared his intention of going to the poll . Should he d » so ,, there is no doubt that Mr . Manners Sutton will be returned . Negotiations have been going for-¦ n-axd bervreea the -friends and committee of the liberal candidates , with a view to induce Sir John to retire from the contest , but hitherto they have failed in effecting that object . Tho day is not yet fixed for the nomination , but it is expect&i to take place either on Tuesday or Wednesday next , which is the latest period allowed by law . Citt . —Thursday Entiling . The important political accounts which have been received ± rom India this day , throng ! . + h « JTCtiTC exertions of Mr . Waghorn , via Marseille * , have
nearly antklj&teG * 11 th « political information which we have received . The news , altogether , is not favourable even in a political light , Candahar , thongh fallen , is no prize to its captors ; the Bolam pass is yet a lighting question with the army of the Indns . and in Assam things do not appear to be going so -well as the promoters of tho indigenous tea cultivators could desire . No letters have been received to-day bj this express , which beat the East India Company ' s messenger by many hours , as the company's dispatches did not" arrive « ntU this afternoon . From what ire can gather from the papers it appears that the commeroo of the East Indies has been completolyshaken by thegreatand decided interruption to the opium tradcin Giina , and so » e parties hava been petitioning the Government on the subject . Money continued much in request , and high rates were submitted to .

On the question of the Corn Laws , I hare for many years done my utmost to impress upon all who are in any way conteraed in mair . ifacture 3 or oommerc * , that the restriction on the e .-cohange of yourmanu-r factare 3 far food , operates preoisely in the sameTray
a * would the building of a wall round your town , for the pnrpose of obliging you to give two yards of cloth instead of one for a peck of corn , to the owners of such patchos of ground as were capable of growing corn within the onolosure . The owneTs of the land say to you , " Give us two shillings for a peck of corn instead of one , and then "we will spend two shillings upon you instead of one , and buy two yards cf cloth of you instead of one . " Is this anything bat saying , " You shall give ns two yards of cloth for a peck of c ^ m , instead of one" ! I should hav ' i thoagh : any m"vn , who can keep his fingers out of the -vvheek of a machine , could have seen into this .
Great numbers of you do see into it . And why is your seeing of no avail ? Because the numerous -classes are almost entirely " cut off from any share in making the lawa Ly which their condition is to be < 1-ienniiied . Id a market , the poor man is at 11-rty to exert the inSuence of his small property . a- =: l tha rich nan of his great . Just so would ii iyo , if a ! ni' -n were admitted equally into the gr ?^ t market of legislation—which is Universal Suffrage .

And whatis lhe reason ! It is because the \ acrrponsiders th » rote of the officer ay a trust , and therefore gives him the Ballot , or . trhst comes to the same thing , the means of enabHue him to exorcise his trust without danger . The Jaw assumes that he is more likely to exercise his trust faithfully without intimidation than with . Lord John Russell says he will not give the Ballot to the people ,: beoause voting is a trust . So much for the Ballot . > -. , ¦ The lengthened duration 01 Parb ' aments is nothing but an invention to give the- people the short end of the lever . There is to be a stir and a hubbub once in-seven years , and the maii who wins is to set yon at defiance till the end of that term , like tho men who of old were snpposed to sell themselyes t » tho Evil Spirit . What would you think of anybody who proposed to you to settle your aocounts every seventh Christmas , or every third either . This , therefore , points all reasonable people to Annual Parliaments .

If there was a Jury of which the members had all taken an oath that they . had-a pecuniary interest in the cases of one class of disputants that were to come before them , what would be the . opinion of society at large on such a fact ! Yet every member of the House of Commons takes an oath that ho has a pecuniary interest in everything that favours the rich against the poor . There is no use in Hon . Gentlemen pretending tobounce at the assertion ; for the visible practical consequence before our eyes is , that the poor man ' s shilling ' s-worth . of tobacco J > &ys eleven times as much duty as the rich . When there was some talk of a Property Tax , where the man of £ 10 , 000 a-ycar should pay a slightly higher percentage than the man of £ 200 , the rich setup the
cry of " Confiscation . " But to pay eleven limes — ' * think of that Svhen you smoke tobacco !" Does this point , or net , to the propriety of abolishing tho Property Qualification for Members of Parliament . When numbers of men spend huge sums to get into a certain position , it is a reasonable inference that if they do not take it outin meal they take it in malt . Not only is a poor wise man kept out of parliament by a Property Qualification , but it is by all sorts of other inventions made impossible for any man to enter the House of Commons without prodigious expense . The evils arising will never be remedied , till yon can send men into that House who shall not only be poor if you like it , but . shall he paid by you to do your work . No master tradesman
would employ an oveTseer , / who said he woul d work for nothing because he ghould be " aye picking up something about the docks . " Just so there will be no good representation in the House of Commons , till-you c » mc to the Payment : of-Members . The laying a finger on the ancient provision for the Poor , while the Com Laws aro continued , which prevent the industrious poor from obtaining their own bread , ia sm-L a manifest outrage on all justice and policy , that it id only miraculous where tho men can be found who will go on not opposing the New Poor Law . Kno'wleuge i 3 power : and those who dislike the poiver of the people , dislike their knowledge . Religion , which has in all ages been pervorted into an
instrument of oppiessien , is made one hero . The different religious sects might get over the difficult ties in the way of appropriating tho national funds to education , hi : hre « ways . First , by eonsenting to introduce such instruction on religious subjects as all can unite in . Secondly , by agreeing to leave religioiis ; "instruction to tho teachers of the several seetsi ^ ibeordinarj- times and places . Thirdly , by directing that those who are to bo instructed should pass an hour or other fixed period in receiving religious instrtiction frem their respective teachers bor lore they entor tho general school ; tiie teachers and the parents of the scholars being bound to provide arraagements for the same . But they will do none of them . They will do nothing but set up religiou as a stalking-horse , the real object being to prevent the people from beiae instructed , or else to keen ud a
kick-and-jostlo match to Bee who shall take most money from ccher sects to spend upon his own . The men who do the last , do not trust with your throat in a dark lai-e . If they do not cut it , it is only for fear of being hanged . It is 'doubtful whether in this country , rjo ; : ey will evor be got from the government for free education . But there is other money than the jUoTernment ' i ; for where did the government ' s com ; from ! The public must subscribo for itself , to set on foot an education to teach men what is necessary for their civil callings . Religion is not made a * r > urce of squabble at the door of a oook ' sshop .. ; why should it be at the door of a shop for food for rh « mind ! All this points to the uocosaity of an education which is not sectarian ; or , in a single term , of Secular Education .
One snL > j » ct more . There lias just been a great effort aade to forward eomeof these objects , and it haa failed . It failed because it took the wrongway . Having taken the wrong , is anybody now disposed to take the right , and try to advance our cause by the legal and constitutional method of parliamentary exertion ! We act at fearful odds ; but resolution and perseverante eat through a stone wall . There 18 a plan for the purpese stated , going on in different parts-of the country . Of . those who join , only ; two demands are made . One , that they disavow violence . The other , that they will follow the Irish leader's advice , to " take all they can get , and then a * k for more . "

A largo dist ^ meeting was held on Tuesday , at Newmills . which V ^ a addressed ^ iy the magistrate of that burgh , who &ko met us in procession a considerable distancefrom tho town , and escorted us te the place of meeting . A
Becond meeting was held at Derval ^ on the same day , which was also very numerously attended : and another large district meeting was held at Kilwini " S . npok ^ Wednesday , the 14 th . These meetings adopted unanimously the Address to her Majesty recommended for adoption by the Convention . The fiheeU containing these addresses have been forwarded , for presentation , to Lord Brougham . These days were most ably followed up by a spirit-stirring address from that great champion of tho people ' s ^ "s&T-f eargua O'Connor , Esq ., on the erening of Saturday , the 17 th iastant , when resolutions were passed to petition her Majesty to grant the lives of the three unfortunate men then under the sentence of death in Warwick Gaol . Another meeting is on the ^ v& of being ield for the purpose of imploring ^ * i y to confirm lhe act of clemenoy which she has already performed , by granting these three men a full pardon , - ;
Dear Sir , it must be in the recollection of your Convention , that our former delegate , Mr , Hugh Craig , upon his first appointment as a member of your body , appeared , worthy of that confidence which we had placed in him ; brft that gradually his ardour cooled / his energy decuned , and that , finall y ^ he withdrew from your Convention without assigning a reason . We would now wish to lay before you a statement of accounts between Mr . Craig and his constituents and your body , which we think will fullv explain to
you the mercenary motives "by which that gentleman seems to have been actuated . He was elected a delegate to the Convention with a salary of £ 300 per annum , from which , however , had to be deducted such time , and tho salary attached to it , as might not be employed iu the service of his constituents .. I may ato mention that we were also to pay whatever extra sums lie might be put to as travelling expenses , for which he pledged both his soul and body to serve us in a faithful , just , and houest manner . If he has done so we leave you and the public to judge . '
All-TTringliini to have served us from ihe . first day of his election to the time when ho ran ofi"from liis d-aty ( - . Thich is hy up means "" the ca ? eyit will not cou ;; t « ventY-f 2 ve days , which , a ; tht above salary , ^ rouiu amount to A ' o 2 10 ^ ) r , u lie bad previously received li-oia us ; bc sum of x 7 o , ^ t sundry times ,

as salary in adTance , which leaves a balance in pur favour of £ 12 10 s . ; : this balance , hpw 6 Yer , he rer fuses to refund ,, urging as hie plea for so doing , the expenses he was piit : to -it entertaining Messrs . Frost , Lowry , and O'Brien in their" Scottish mission . Again , _ as we were ignorant ' . what expenses Mr . Craig might iiicur in travellihgio London , we advancfcOim the sum of jglS for that purpose ,-with this proviso , that any of that sum which remained unexpended should be by him reimbursed to the County . Upon being called upon for an account of that sumi he refused to do so , Baying that it was placed at bis unlimited dis {» osal , and this in the face of a motion to the contrary , made , secondea , and earned in his presence . These aro affairs with which we would not have ; troubled yonr Convention puttor the following circumstances '—-. ¦ ¦ — '¦ : t _ . '^_ ¦ _¦ . . 1 ¦ ' " " . ¦ «•«'*¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦! . '"« •• ¦ . ' ¦ - .
: ; After Mr . Craig withdrew fronitho duties Which he ; had undertaken ^ as . our delegate , Mr . Baird , in whose hands were deposited the whole of the county funds , declined attending our meetings , or taking ai ^ partin pur ^ rpceedinga ; and , at the samei time refused to give up the balance in his haudg , or allow his booksto be audited in any way . He has since however , shewn us a balance-sheet , by which it appears that a considerable sum still remains in his hands . This , hovverer , he still refuses to restore , alleging , as an excus ^ .- fpr . bo doin , a prosecution commencedagainst him by Mr . Craig , for the s « m of £ 10 rs ., whicli Mr . Craig contends is still-due to Mm by the county , % expenses incurred wliilo oil Convention . duty . This naturally led us to examine
the balance-sheet of the Convention ,: by which we find that ho has received from the fuuds placed at your disposal , first tho sum of £ 25 , thou £ 3 incurred m ^ our service , besides the sum of £ 3 16 a 6 d for advertisements ; and at a subsequent date ! we find , from a document which has been extracted fromthaminute book . by Mr . M ^ Ciae , and authenticated by Mr , Pitkethly , tlmt you have also paid him the sum of £ 6 7 s . 7 id . for tho expenses incurred by him and another m finishing the work which lie alleged Messrs . Frost , Lowry , and O'Brieu : left vmdone--makiiig in all for sen-ice and expenses the sunvof £ \ -28 4 s . 1 ^ ,, whibh lie has actually recoived , besides the sum of- # 10 7 s .. for which he has entered this Drosecution ; and aUhough we have offered--to
seiue ^ tne matter with . him by arbitration , even that he refuses ; and , to Show the spirft by which he is actuated ^ ho says he will not call the casfc in Court but just keep it suspended m terrorem over him , in order to deter our former treasuror from givin « - up V } ° " ? s m his possession , who j ( tho said treasuror , 1 ' f ** " ™) has declared that if the case is not decided , he will haud over the mouey to the Sheriff , and it will be safe enough "there ,. I may also add that Mr : ¦ Crai g has repeatedly stated to difforent deputations that he will give up all claim to that sum but when formally called upon to do so rhe invariably refuses . Comment oh the above conduct is vvmiecessarv J it has obviously originated in a mean , low , and sordid mind , or from a desire to crush Chartism in Ayrshire ; but we can assure him that neither tho petty hostility of a Bailio Craignor the still more
, desmcablo tyranny of little Lord John , though backed b y all his minions to boot , shall ever , bo able to crush tho spirit of liberty whicli is implanted i " the breasts of tho men of Ayrshire . , Dear Sir , —Under the circumstances above detailed , and as the funds in tho hands of our new treasurer amount only to a limited sum , —moreover as the sitting of ypuT Convention is expected to be of short duration , we have resolved not to send our ilclegato to London at the present time , but to employ him in lecal agitation in the interim . At tho same timo when your Convention assembles again , you may rely on it , that we will be prepared ainong the fore ^ most to meotyou there . ' :.
With full confidence in you , and approbation of your proceedings , I remain , Faithfully yours , 1 Robert Clink . By order of the Working Men ' s Association of Kilmarnock .

SOUTHABDPTON . TO THB KDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sirs , —As the Northern Star is the universally accre . dited organ of Chartism , I have : ventured to addreastoyou the following observations , for the purpose of shewing , through the medium of your invaluable : paper , the prbgrcs 3 the principles of Chartism are making in this part of the country . Southampton , always an aristocratic and priest-ridden place , has succeeded informing and inaintaining an associatiou for : the purpbsoof / disserninatihg the principle ? of flempcracy , and in spite of all impedimenta thrown in our way , we are fast gaining grbund , especially among the more intelligent of the mechanics of this town , to-. tho great di $ Tiiay of thos 0 > vho fatten on corruption . But , Sirs , there are great
numbers favourable to , our cause who date , not openly espouse it ; for fear of Q 10 wrath of their more inUlti , yciiiinaskrs and pastors , for not only arc the fangs of the aristocracy ( both noblo arid ignoble ) fixed in'the ; liberties of this devoted town , but swarms of locusts in the shape ef pensioners , half-pay officers ' , pluralist par-, sons , Ac ,, . exercise their jestiferous ; iriiluenco to retard the progress of liberty . But Sirs , in addition to all these disadvantases , in addition to the blessings of a liberal magistracy , who a short tinie ^^^ sitiee duvharged < i politc-7 n-. ui for si ' j . oir .

Asspciation ; " hovr far their prptection extends I vriil not venture to say , but certain it is , it does not ensure freedom of discussion , as the sequel will show . Last week-, a granj feed : was got up by these worthies ,,-to which all rtforniers were invited . Tickets were advertisedfor sale , this mode of attracting gUestsi however , having proved ineffectual , recourse wag had'to hawking theni about the town at workshops , &c . ; tlis plan succeeded a little better , as they were enabled to dispose of several at half 7 price , and the test ( to muke a : tblerablc muster ) were given aicay ; the whole county - ^ is importuned to send supporters among ihem . A chairman ( L 01 U Worsley ) was procured from the Isle of Wight , a apeafeer or two were raked but of the Nprthem Division of the county , their contemptible
organ ( wltich I have noticed above ) a week or two previous to the iueeting , siipplicated in the humblest terms tho attendance of all reforniers , of all shades and colours , and after all this exertion dn ' 'the part of the association , after ; all the trumpeting ?^^ and ^ biniiig of their wretched print , they succeeded in mustering only between two and three hunared , including : the inembers of their Association . ; Among the persons who attended to address tho meetiiig wWs a neighbouritig farmer , a staunch opponent of the New Poor Law Act ; he eanie with the intention of showing that the New Peor Law was not that great blessing—that invaluaWe boon—to the working ? plasses which it liad l ) een iepresented to be , that llstead of raising the labourer to a state of independence by raising the rate of wagee , &c , it had madeliiin more dependant , } and
plunged hiru deeper into that poverty arid misery from which the perffdious Whigs hiadpretendedto . raiaehiin , but the committee of these protectihff Liberal Whiffs got scent of the intentions of this Cobbettite , and forthwith deputed their vicc ; chairniari to inform him that such outrageous proceedings as he contemplated could not > e allowed , which he did by politely intimating that if he attempted to address the nieetihg , heshotUdbs cried dotni . At this 6 ur worthy farmer stood aghast , when he was further informed , that if he persisted in his intention , he should be put out of i ] u > room . Ta lk of the tyranny of the Tories ! these Liberal protecting Whigs beat tbeiii hollow . But , Gentlemen , this event must be proiiuctivo of great good ; it shows their weakness , and the baseness Of their designs , and will ; no doubt , inducemany to join the Chartist ranks .

STCCKPORT . Street Preaching AnotlsHED . —The injunction of your tprd and Saviour , when ho commanded his disciplos to "go into the streets and lanes and preach the gospel , " is , in this enlightened age , to be done away with by order of our whig rulers . The recent exertions of the Rev . Mr . Essler to iustrtict the people on things of which they have bceu wholly ignprant , have given rise to serious alarm , among the minions of oppression . This minister has been apprehended
and committed tor conspiracy and sedition . Preaching tho Word of God in the open air is now to be put dbwn . Orio of tho hard working , and uripaid-members of the Church of Christj endeavored last Sunday to preach tho truth unto the assembled hundreds near the Wellington lload . But such efforts arenow to be suppressed , the mayor ( Mr , Pendlebury , a cotton prd ) having given instructions to Mr . Sadler , the Deputy-Constable of Stockport , not in future to allow theso public exhibitions , as he had been given to vinderstand that language of the most violent character was made uso of .
