Both factfoas are trjing hard to gain the ascendancy , while the Radicals are quie'ly looking on and not lending their assistance to either party , as the working classes are doomed to be plundered by both parties , ? o long as the present system conanae ? .

He particularly called their attention to the little shops all over the town , in wlaiib . tbe proprietor could smoke his pipe at his ease , without working , while tbe son of toils were labouring to support him in idleness , by taking him thtir weekly earning * , and the only graritute they got in retnrn , ¦ was tvrannv and oppression . Tt being announced tiat I ) r . Coffin was in the room , he was e&Led upon to give hi ? opinion , which lie immediotely complied with , and gave a talented address on Co-operation

      and the benefits derived from them both in England and America , which proved clearly to ill present that thev had only to nnite , and diey would be . sure to succeed . Mr . Wo . Campleman supported a coopararian society by some -rery forcible remarks . He said tie Ciardsw had been talking about pbyrica . 1 force for a long time , but if tiey wonld' only unite , ac « tet op stop for themselves , they would soon drive botfi the aristocracy and jhopocraey out of tbe country . Mr . "Wilde made a few Temarks , and eonelnded by proposing a vote of thanks to Pr Coffin for ids assistance at the meeting , which wag seconded by Mr . Walker , and ably supported by Mr . Mappin .

      MACCLSSFIEI . D . TO THE EDITOBS OF THE XOXTUERS STAR . October , 22 , 1839 . Gentlehkx , —I wish to have yonr advice about the state that my papers are in -when they arrhein Macclesfield . 3 Jy last Saturday ' s parce 3 was delivered in the most shaxueful juan-- er . The covering Was all torn « ff ; each end was as dirty as if they had been tumbled or dragged in the street ; and Trhen I opened the parcel the -vrater ran off tiie paper . The consequence is that through the wot and uirty state they were in , I have had & loss of about fifty paper * -which I could not offer for ale . 1 was at the post-office -when they arrived from Stockport , and tbe postman told me they -were in that state -when they were delivered to him . I should Mko to tnow if I can get any redrecs , utd -where I am to apply for it I have no chance at oar po&t-omce , aa they say they are delivered in tiai state to them .

      1 get « ll the London papers both dean and dry . -which is snfficeni proof that they are damaged Wilfully because the name is Horthem Slur . I have had some complaints about your not inserting some letters that have been sent from . Macclesfield at different t . inea . Have you had any account of my arrest with three others on a charge of sedition ? A 3 the Slar has not mentioned the case , and as the account -was sent to your office , - « re concluded that you had not received it . After

      1117 arrest , my shop was entered by two policemen to search for guns , pistols , daggers , &c . All my letters and -writings were examined , and after a search of two hours they retired , taking a fe * r letters with them , but have since returned them , as tiiey contained nothing but about my own business in trade . They were quite thunderstruck that they could find no treasonable writings _ , tor pikes , nor daggers . After J wasapprehended I waa put into a cold dainpcelL There 1 was kept four day * and nights without having my clothes off ; as there was neither bed nor straw to lie on .

      GAINSBOROUGH . THE INCARCERATED POLITICAL VICTIMS . TO THK EDITORS OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Gestlemkn , —We forward you a trifle which has been contributed by a small circle of Chartists , in aid of the unfortunate martyrs : to our just and righteous cause . As the laws are now' directed , it is impossible to solicit douaUoas-with impunity , therefore , -we : hope the readers of the Star will '' go and do likewise , " bearing in mind that if advocates have failed to obcain the Charter in the present instance , we must hot act like beasts of the field , leavn ^ them to die . unnoticed iu dungeons , because they cannot be of any use to the people ' s cause at present . enueonnnnrff

      " l > ivide and conquer" has been most truly verified amongst the Chartists . lately—let a warning be laken from the past . We hope that enlightening the . ' people as to the present mode of Government , and explaining the happiness that must Dow from the equitable principles of the Chattel , -will henceforth be the study of all tooil . and true Chartists , so that the press will iiot be able to blink the question of Universal Suffrage , by staging what they term Chartist ou-rages instead . We cannot agree with the inflammatory language said to have been used by some of tlie Chartist speakers , nor the persons who le : off lire-arms , and exhibited warlike instruments at their meetings ; thoy must , indeed , have been excited to this gross intimidation by spies -who were acting tlio part of the murderous "Castles" and "Oliver . " This has been the cause of

      making many lukewarm , who might otherwise have been zealous supporters . It has likewise driven the timid from our standard . It was also sure to be the stalking-horse for the Government persecutions . The interested faction who live by plundering the peop e , are naturally enemies to the Charter . This is to be expected , so may I e borae with more patience than having " Enemies within the camp . " Xhuy say that the Chartists waut to claim property which is not their own ! The reverse is the fact . The workman has his goods taken from him to support the rich man ' s church ; he is like-wise taxed -without his consent ; he is force 1 to pay money in many instances to aid in enslaving himself ; he ia liable lo be dragged from his wife and family to fight battles for the rich , while the rich are exempt ; this must certainly arise from the rich having the exclusive privilege of making laws .

      It is not to be wondered at that the corrnptionists throw every obstacle they are able in the way of the people obtaining knowledge . When they becomo enlightened , and know the wrongs that are inflicted upon them , a moral revolutioa will follow , and the Government must be funned for tho benefit of all , according to the Charter . We hope the leaders who have been so fortunate , as to escape being victimised , Will act With great caution , so that tht-y may be able to escape the langs of villatious spies , who are now prowling about the country . The Charter is the just right of every honest Englishman—being such , we hope that agitation will never cease until it be carried into effect Gainsbro' , Oct yth . s . d . „ John RmHllA- J y ,, Charles W .

Working Men ' s Institution . —On Friday night , one of theniust spirited meetings wchave for some time witnessed took place at the Working Men ' s Institution , it having been announced that Mr . James Taylor , along with Mr . Decgan , and others , would address the meeting . Mr . Taylor could not attend ; but at the time appointed Mr . Deegan rose to propose that . Mr . S . Pryce should take the chair , which was carried unanimously . The Chairman , after passing a high euloghim on the good scuse of the people " , ' introduced . Air .-Lancaster , " who . "poke-for a * hort time , and advised the people , whatever they did , to show a bold front , and do all they could iu the shape of collecting funds for the Chartist prisoners . Mr . Cook , of . Newton ,- then spoke a few

      words to the same eftect ; after which the Chairman introduced Mr . Deegan , late M . C ; , who spoke for nearly an hour , lit- said the time had how arrived when all men who were seeking a Reform of the Commons House of Parliament should at the Bamo time be endeavouring to Keform their own local affairs ; such as the choosing of good and honest men to manag « their bu 4 ines 3 . He then showed how the men of ijtalybridge riad been for some time acting in regard , to their appointment of polico officers and commissioners of the town . Some time since , the constables would have been seen iu" tho streets with their cutlasses in their hands , and on one occasion they had been known to shake the handcuffs in Mr . Stephens ' face , which caused that gentleman ' to-go

      to tbe magistrates . The magistrates did not sanction tliia . ; and the householders of Stalybridge began to think about the matter , and at the next yearly day voted such men into the office of Commissioner as would Jook after the police , and sec that they did their duty . The consequence was ; that if the policemen met any of the Hadical body nov * , they behaved themselves very well , and never insulted them at all . He next -went on to shew that if tho working men would exercise thobc privileges which they already did enjoy , they might be conferring some good on their own neighbourhood , and , at the same time , be doing all they could to obtain from 'Government those rights which justly bel onged to them . After a vote of thanks to Messrs . Deegau , &c , the meeting quietly broke up . .

      ASHTON-TJtfDER-LYNE . Stranuk Conception ! The good people of Ashton-umler-Lyne have this week , in addition to the various scenes ' of tbe wakes , been amused with a niar-Velluus occurrence , ¦ which in some slight decree it-tumbles the story told before King Solomon , when two wo : nen claimed an infant as their child . A young woman named Ulaktnnore , wife of a private soldier in the £ uth regiment of infantry , now stationed at Ashton , having been married three years , and had no children , became obnoxious to her husband , and frequent quarrels occurred between them" on account of her strict adherence to the anti-populousncBS principle . About nine months ago , she manifested the fertility of her invention , however deficient in fertility her other powers might be .-antl communicated to her expectant husband

      the gratifying intelligence thit she was in that happy state in which ' ladies like to be who love their lords . " A 8 the months rolled on an increasing rotundity waa visible in her person , and sundry exhibitions of squeainisbnt-ss , with tther symptoms of ill health , were artfully feigned , for the purpose of drawing towards her an enlarged amount of tender endearment from hei husband . . Saturday last was the day fixed upon by Mrs . Makemsre for the closing setae in her skilfully contrived plot . Her husband had of course been du \ y informed of her aches and pains , and the needful preparations were made for the reception of "the addition to the family . " Mr . Blakemore being in barracks , and Mrs . Blakemore ia'lodgihva , opportunities

      enow were given to her to complete her design . She accordingly -walked out , ! with muchdimcuKy , of Course , looking at her conditioni and soon eftectcd part of the comingcatastrophe . Observingmthestreeta girhrarsing an infant a fe . v weeks" old , she accosted the girl , contrived to get possession of the infant , and -made off with it to her own lodgings . No time was lio . v to be lost Mrs . Blakemore -went to bed -vvith the infant , and in a short time afterwards , on being visited by a young -wonian whom she had engaged as her nurse , announced that the midwife had been there , and that she ( Mrs . B . ) had been happilj delivered of a ch 6 ppin « child . The nurse was astounded at this sudden intellicence ,- but the child was there , and care for the mother

      was now the absorbing consideration . The child wiuS handed over to the nurse , « ithu strict injunction that ahe must not , by-orier of the midwife , disturb its 8 waddUng bands . The nurse was curious , as ladies of that ilk are wont to be , and being well informed iu family lore , had & strange fancy in her head that the infant 'waa avery remarkable one of its age . She had her suspicions , but kept her mouth closed . The huaband vras , however , sent for , and on his arrival the child-was pat into his arms , and the story told him of his wife ' s safe delivery , good health , and promise of ¦ peedy recovery . The husband , poor fellow , -was in impturea . Ho did certaiuly think the child -was of extraordinary eaze , "but then there was no : hing particular in that circumstance , seeing whose child it was . He hugged it , a ^ d kissed it ; the soldier was soon merged

      m the fatheT ; and he aat down in the rocking-chair , blessing and praising the infant , declaring it was worth five hundred sovereigns , and that no ^ he was the happiest fellow living . Whilst thus drinking of the full tide of connubial bliss , and pouring on his " betterhalf ' ¦* the most nattering compliments foi proUucing to his sight so promising an heir-at-law to the family property and estates a change came o ' er the spirit of his dream . The restless nurse left the house oa Sunday whilst the husband , was rocking the baby , and the first person she met with -sras a Sirs . J ohnson ^ wifeof a working-man in Ashton , who , being an Irishwoman , was making a lillibulero for the loss of her infant child , which had , the day before , been stolen out of its nurse ' s arms . The counter-plot was now rapidly advancing . Mrs . Blakemore ' s nurse gave sundry information to Mrs . Johnson , who now believed the thief -would bo discovered . Mrs , Johi . Boa

      was invited to Mts . Blakemore ' s house , there saw Mr . Blakemore busily employed in nursing what he supposed to be his own infant' "Oh . ' you cruel wretch , " said Mrs . Johnson , ' that ' s my child ! Give it me this moment , or I'll be the death of you . " The confiding husband stood aghast , but imagined the woman to be mad . An Irish row commenced , the police were called for , ani the lying-in woman was seized with hysterics . Air . Newton , superintendant of police , arrived , acd he proposed , to settle the matter , that a midwife be seat for to examine Mrs . Elakeinore . The ty ^ -in-Jady dissented ; and at length Br- Campbell -was brought in : he made the necessary examination , and , alas ; for the hopea of Mi . Blakemore , and the plot of his wife , reported that ^ Irs . Blakunore ' s pregnancy had been a hoax , and her rotundity formed by . layers of flannel and other bulky material .

      Can any man who values his liberty any longer remain quiet at a time when the prisons of the kingdoni are crammed with our persecuted brethren—^ at a time when the horrible 1-oor . Law is committing such ravages on the comlbrts , nay on . the very Uyea of the poor—at a timo when the Jew robbers and money grubbers are using every effort : in their power to raise the deluding cry of cheap food , thereby meaning cheap laboiir—at a tiino when the rag merchants and paper bankers are 011 the eve of general bankruptcy 1 but enough . Now ; to our plan of action ,-that we maj T prove to those , if there be any such , who can any longer be gulled by the base , brutal , and bloody vyiiigs , that at all events we will no longer tolerate the conduct of the wretches in office

      ( men we cannot call them ) . 1 st * VVe are determined to use every constitutional effort in the affairs of the borough ; 2 nd . To take tho necessary steps to return a CbartiBt member at every forthcoming election ; 3 rd . To have discussions ou the usual eveninga o * meeting ; and to form a library of tho best political writers of past and present times , as we arc convinced of the maxim , viz ., "A wise people alone can be a free people , " Having thus clearly laid down our course , we will no longer be deluded by either of th « factions who degrade and disgrace this once mighty ii-atiou . Let us recollect the Tories murdered the people at Peterlpo , and the Whigs bludgeoned the men of Birmingham j the Tories depopulated the country of tho Americans struggling for freedom , and tho Whigs did the same towards the brave Canadians . A Tory parson of the StateChnrcll was the cause of the itutheormac butchcrv the

      Whigs were 111 otiice ^ yet they never brought the scoundrel to justice . But history is so full of their crimes that it disgusts , us to pursue it aiiy longer . We , therefore , call on every man who loves liberty , and hates tyranny , to unite in Vfrestiiig the good ship Britannia from tho pirates who are now driving her on tie breakers of destruction , and place that pilot ( the people ) at the helm , v ? ho shall steer her through the turbulent billows that-now buffet -h . er and tiually bring bcr iuto the harbour of liberty j where every child of freedom shall rest happy at anchor the remainder of his life , It rras also moved by Mr . Longbottom , and geconiled by > Ir .

      a Economy of the New Poor Law ,-- —In the nourishing commercial town of Mbnkwearinouth before tho Pqor Law Amendment Bill came into operation , the rate-payers paid tenpeiice per pound bince that iniquitous measure came into operation the rates have been increased to one shilling ant sixpence in the pound . In addition to this immense increase one-fourth more property is rated than was previous to the bill coming into operation . It is perhaps worthy , of remark that one sliip-builder whose premises were rated at £ 10 under the old dispensation , is now rated at , £ 80 ; Iii Sunderland this hell-begotten law does not operate much better . One instance , may be taken as a criterion of the whole . A tradesman , who formerly paid £ . i los . per month under ' the old system , now pays £ 71 8 s 9 J Another , who was rated at nino shillings , eow pays sixteen slnllnigs . The last quarter presents an 'increase of rates upon the whole of nearly 25 per cent .

      MR . OWEN'S LECTURES . In the week before last this highly-talented and benevolent gentleman delivered four lectures in the Assembly Room of the Star Inn , Maidstone . The announcement of these lectures was the signal for the usual misrepresentations respecting Mr . Owtn , aud charges of infidelity , immorality , and Heaven knows -what besides , fell from the unhappy ilaidstone Journal , the Eiaster-mind of -which seems to have been the creature of the most lugubrious circumstances imaginable . As this -was nothing novel to Mr . Owen , he met it in the mode practised by Uncle T » by , who caught a bluebuttle , which had annoyed him by its huzzing , and turned it out of the window , with the characteristic exclamation—•• Go , poor devil , I would not hurt * hair of thy head ; there is room enough in the world for me and thee ' -

      The lectures vrere attended by most Tespectable audiences , varying in number from one hundred and fifty to two hundred persons , and it ia no less honour 1 able to Maidstone than to Mr . Owen that several dis-I senting ministers , one of the magistrates , and many of I the most nnexceptionably respectable and moral gentlei men of all creeds and politics , of the town and neijjhi bourhood , were not deterred by the silly babblings of i ignorant and shallow sciolists , from attending to hear I " the words of truth anil soberness" "which he uttered ; I so that they might fairly judge for themselves of tloctrines , "which , ¦ whether true or false in their foundation , have , it must be confessed , excited more attention I amongst thinking nifcn , than almost any other of j modern times . These doctrines -were explained in n I tone of calm benignity and impressive clearness , which , j added , to the universal charity which is their essence . could not fail to make a . forcible impression on the audii ence , as to the benevolent motives and philanthropic i nature of the lecturer .

      . Many questions -were asked respecting Mr . Owen ' s vietrs on religion , to -which he ansvrered that he believed in the existence of a controlling BOWer Which had created the universe , an . 1 regulated alike the motions of its aggregate ¦ wh » leand of its every atom , that the most acceptable homage to this great power "was the endeavour to make our fellow-creatures happy ; that the only provision for X > ivine-worship made in his proposed community -would be the teaching of its members to " love one another , * ' but that no person would be restricted from following his own religious opinions , and his own

      mode of worship . . Some questions -were attended with rather more asperity than seemed necessary , but upon the -whole , less uncharitable feeling was evinced than might have been expected . Mr . Whiting , a non-Socialist , but a lover of free inquiry and human improvement , was placed in the chair at the conclusion of the lectures , and a vote of thanks , on the motion of ^ Messrs . Dickson and Jtussell , was passed to the eloqnent lecturer ; not one hand beiuj ; held up , or one argument offered to " the contrary . " even from those of the audience who most differed from 31 r . Owen in opinion .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gentlemen , —* A false and mischievous report is at present in circulation through tliis town : it ia that I have received the Portraits of Mr . Stephens , and that it is my intention to withhold them from the subscribers for a month . This report , Which is equally injurious tome , and to the sole of the Northern Star , has originated through an individual in this town having received Portraits of Mr . Stephens , which I am informed the subscribers have also received from thai individual . In justice to me , as the vendor of the Northern Star , give this letter insertion in this week ' s paper , in order that the public may be assured that I have not received any Portraits of Mr . Stephens ; and that I may be treated by the subscribers with mdre courtesy , and not threatened with their giving up the paper on the ' above false and scandalous account .

      Acquaint nie and the public also , through tho medium of your this week ' s paper , in such a clear light Jhat it cannot bo misunderstood * whether subscribers from last February till nowVare to receive tho Portraits immediately on my receiving them , and thus be placed on the samefooting With those who were subscribers to the Star previous to last February . It ftppearB that , by some inadvertency ; JStephens's Portraita have been sent in part to Stockton , Whilst I who am the original vendor here of the Star , iave not received any , but am placed in au awkward predicament , alike inimical to my vend of the paper , aud to its being vended here , and entirely without any fault of mine ; and from which I beg you will extricate '

      MEETING OF METROPOLITAN DRAPERS ' ASSIST ANTS , On Wednesday , a numerous meeting of the Assistant Drapers of the Metropolis was hcH on Wedresday night , at nino o'clock , at the Crown and Anchor , for the purpose of obtaining an enlarged amount of time from their employers , greater than the latter hitherto allowed them . Mr Ward M 1 ? 111 the chair , ' ' ' The Chairman said that he was not thoroughly or legitimately acquainted with the subject which * ' came thoa leiore him ; hut from what be had been able to glean , he thought that tho views of the Assistant Drapers Were reasonable and their claims just Uleavhear . ) He would recommeBd every geutleman present to recollect that there Were two' interests to bo considered-that of tho assistant , and that of the employorMhearhearand cheers ) -

      , , and for that reason the most amicable ' . means should bo resorted to for the obtaining of their claims ( Hear , hear . ) The assistants had to sacrifice their health and time ; the employers also had to sacrifice tneir their convenience , pleasure , and comforts to meet tiie caprices of the pubJic . ( Hear . ) That was the-eftect ot the intensity of competition in England --a competition unparalleled in any other country . It would be necessary , then , not billy to act upon tiie employevs , but upon public opinion also . The Hours of labour varied from , ten to twelve up to seventeen and eighteen hours . Resolutions were passed declaring that the hours exacted by the employers were too many , and incompatible with tue-health of the assistants , especially those who were subject to physical diseases : that tho shons siiouia

      De closed at eight in the ^ vinter months , and nine iu the siimmer months , Saturdays excepted ; aiid that the public be requested to make their purchases as early as possible , so as to facilirtte ' this ooject . iSumerous excellent speeches Were delivered by several of the assistant ^ and it is to be hoped that this benehcial measure , commencing in the metropolis , will extend itself to the country . One ot the speakers remarked that there was one of four means by which they , could obtain their demands—by a strike among tho assistants , by pub ' ic opinion operating upon the masters , by the masters resolving unanimously to shut up their shops or bv legislative enactmant . The meeting separated at eleven 0 clock , after the nomination of officers for the ensuing year .
