UNITED STATES . Th . 8 Columbia steamer readied Liverpool on Tuesday morning ; bringing papers from New York to the 1 st instant , from Boston to the 3 d , and from Halifax to the 4 ; h . The accounts from the United Slates arenpaa the wkolo less alarming than they h ? , ve been . First , it is said that Mr . Day will be specially deputed to the Court of St . James's , to r « tte » pt a settlement of the existing differences be iwoen the two countr ies . Secondly , if the Coajjrfjss displays increased -activity in preparing for ti a national defence , it appears to be influenced ]>• jrhaps more fey a sense of the unprepared state of t m country for « ny invasion
than by a wish for actn jl hostilities at tne present time . The regular as jay « f the United ¦ States amounts to 12 . 530 men- the militia to 1 , 503 , 592 ; but the latter is in posse r j \ her than m-esse . The navy comprises 68 ahips of war , including those on the stocks ; 33 are in ; ictoal service—namely , 1 ship of the line , 5 frigates , ] 3 sloops , 4 bugs , 7 schooners , 2 coast-steamers , md 1 store-ship . Two steamfrigates&re bnil ^ Jn ^ at Brooklyn and Philadelphia . General Ha . risoa ' s inaugural address is expected to be pac _ c It will discourage Abolitionism . An extra sessj m of Congress is expected to be con-Tsned for Msv .
There has been , we are sorry to observe , another jragry corre spondeaee between Mr . * Forsyth , ihe Foreign S ^ xetary , and Mr . Fox , the British Minister , respec jiDg Mr . M'Leod's arrest , and other Blatters in dispute . Mr . M'Leod ' s brother has written a ' jetter to the Xete York Journal of Comtaerce , d > jclariag that the accused was not present at the desti uction of the Caroline steamer , and vhat , from his character , it is impossible that he could have l » asted of having been there . The Sate Maine had ordered it 3 civil posse to withd- .-aw from the disputed territory , mere ) y leaving a' i agent on the spot , to deal with trespassers .
The ma , inteajjioe of the civil body cost the State J 0 , 0 f X ) dollars during the past year . C dmmerci&l affairs were in a very bad state . Th- ire was a panic in the money-market . United St Ate 3 Bank Shares , which , as the date of the pre-Vi dus arrivals were quoted a ; " 26 or 27 , had fallen as Ijw as 16 , the last quotation at New York being 17 . The nttes of the Bank were selling at 14 to 18 j > er cent , discount . A bill was before the Legislature «« f Pennsjlvaaia for suspending the penalties on the non-payment of the Bank'd notes . Exchange on England was 8 to 8 . ] gremium ; on France , 5 " 22 ^ .
PARIS . —It was reported in Paris , on Monday , that the Peers would leject the provision for the wall of cireumvaliation , which stands in the Fortifications Bill as it was sent np by the Deputies . It Tra 3 also reported that Lord Ponsonby would be recalled from the embassy in Turkey , to succeed Lord Anckland as Governor of India .

TS . CM OCB LOXJX )?( COBBESFOXDKnV Wednesday Evening , March Yilh . Mose Dcellisg . —This morning , a " meeting " took place between Mt . Dillon Browne and Captain IhifE , the latter of whom is said to have monally wounded his antagonist . The affair arose out of a theatrical Fquabbie last evening ; though , from the lateness of tie hour ( six o ' clock ) , at which the intelligence reached me , I am unable to supply ** chapter and Terse , " which will doubtless appear to-morrow .
St . Patrick ' s Dat . —This being St . Patrick's Day , the metropolis has been kept " all alive" by the Tarious teetotal processions , consisting for the most part of natives of the Emerald Isle , headed by their spiritual directors , and other officers of the Catholic Auxiliary Total Abstinence Associations . The Lincoln's Inn Fields' branch walked in procession from Craven Yard to St . Patrick's Chapel , in the forenoon ; and the St . Marylebone branch held a oiree a ; Theobald's Road , this afternoon ; while the East-enders congregated at Virginia-street Chapel ; and at five this afternoon , a very numerous party partook of tea and other anti-alcoholic refreshments in the Suinaard Theatre , which wa 3 fitted up for the occasion .
The Cork-Law Leaguers agaix—On Thursday evening last , Mr . Sydney Smith was announced to lecture on Corn-Law Repeal at the Three Tans , in thoborough . On entering the room , which was well Attended , we could not recognise any members of Chartist Associations , except Messrs " . Wall and Parker ; and , moreover , a Corn-Law repealer was in the chair . The lecture consisted of * the usual " chips and shavings , " with a slight sprinkling ( by way of Eeasonia-rp of L-i-E-s regardiDg the Cnarrist opinions on the Curn-Law question . At the conclusion of th-3 lecture , ilr . Wall ascended the tabie to contradict the fihbeiy which had been indulged in ; npon which a skirmish took place . A"Ieagner " proposed a resolution in favour of an unqualified
repeal of the Corn Law ;; to which Mr . Wall moved an amendment , similar to that carried the same aftercoon at the Poor Law meeung , at the Cro « n ana Anchor , StraEd . Mr . Parker seconded this amend-Ben : ; which was opposed by several speakers on the Corn Law side , but , on being put to the meeting , < which was very impartially done by the Chairman , i it was declared t-o be carried by a large majority . Now , w > . en it is considered tSat only two or three Chartists , at the most , were present , the result of this meeting show 3 that ihs Universal Suffrage movement is gaining ground with the uraaost rapidity in public esnmadon . The repealers did all they
dos-• ribly could to carry their motion ; one and all- of them declaring themselves for the Charter , in order to obtain the votes of the meeting in favour of the original resolution ; yet two working men carried their unsophisticated declaration of rights , against the opposition of the congregated band of " respectables . " A number of police were in attendance , frobably to intimidate the " amendment" pariy ; ut the latter were not to bs C 3 aght that way , and the wailicgs of the " leaguers" were both u loud ami dsep" ai the hard knocks thev haTe lately had administere-1 : o them by the" whole-hog men /'
Last evening , ( Tuesday , ) a meeting wa ? held in the Workitg Man's Chape ) , Dock Head , Bermoadsey , to promote the object 3 of the" London Journejman ' s Trades' Hall Committee . The place of mealing 13 some miles distant from the centre oi the metropolis , and therefore was not so well attendad as could have been wished ; the chape itself , however , is one of the most eligible pla- ~ e .-for holding a public meeting that we have seen fco a long time . At half-part eight Mr . Dicks wai called to the chair ; and after briefly stating th < objects of the meeting , Mr . TaperelJ , a delegatf from the F . S . O . C , moved , and Mr . Thomas seconded , tho first resolution : —
" Ti 3 . t this meeting tis-ws -with rerrst , the -wsui of a convenient and central building within the niitropo ' jis , accessfole at all times to the working cl ^ ss for public . meetings on national and local niaittrs , vritbout any \ political or sectarian exclusion ; and it is of . opinion that so long as the trades of Londen have not the me-ins of holdin ? the meetings of their respective E- > cieties in ; Rich a place , that a system of useless expenditure , intemperance , and confusion must prevail , dctriajeutal to ; iheir Twefniness , and calculated to retard the sdcUI and political advancement of the labouring population . " : Mr . Sherman , in 3 n energetic Bpeech moved , and Mr . . Farren , jun ., seconded , the nest resolution : — '
" That this meeting earnestly recommends to the japport of all working men , a projected London : Journeymen ' s Trades Hall , designed and managed by mechanics and operatives of "various trades ; which ; promise * the most t-x : ensiTe accommodation for the I meetings of thuir respective trade and other societies j at a che-ip rent ; providing for their meinbt ^ a the ! advantages of a Mechanics' Institution on aji extensive ! ecale , tie m ^^ ns of assembling to the number of 3 or j iOOO persons , on reasonable terms , "When and as ofttn as : desired by tbe labouring class , witheut any molesta- i tion , and offering in the enrolment of the undertaking , ; under certain Acts of Parliament , the security of the \ law of the land against fraud of any kind . j
In the conrse of his TemaTk 3 , Mr . Farren said that ' At pressnt the bo ? ines 3 of Trades' Suciecieg in i general , was left , through the culpable apaihy or | dronkeune ^ s of the majority of members , to the !' direction of the aristocratic aud interested few . A j Trades' Hall was sought , to remove these Societies : from places of meeting where the gilded barrels ; tempt the eye , aud the jingiing of glasses tempt the i palate w > an institution where the wives and famt- \ lies of the operatives might participate' in their ! pleasures , and advance their moral and social con- ! dition . They did not want a Trades' Hall built by j * Parliamentary grant , because the key of the door j would then be is the hands of ifce money-grubbers : ' they Bought to have an institution o ! their own , ! which , should be " open to all , without icquiring ! trhat religion , they were of , or for what ; it waei wanted .

Thos < whose business it was to preach one day in th < Week that they might lire in idleness the other six asserted that the ** labourer was worthy of his hire : ' that was what they preached , but their precepts did not agree with their practice . He exhorted his hearers no : w allow themselves to be any longej transferred , as the publican s stock-in trade , under the name of " good-will , " among the mash-tubs and pfciated jiin-cafcks , from one Boniface to another ; iut , by a timely and well-directed effjrt , establish a BionujHenJ to future ages of the progress of knowledge , » ud wit ' n it the foundation of enlightened freejjo nx . > lr . farren 'nras londly cheer&d .

jaeeting , and several shares in the undertaking , ( the deposit on each share of £ 1 being 25 . ) , were subscribei for , in the vestry adjoining the place of meeting . FlRE AT TEE SqirrBAMWON Railway . —A most destructive fire broke out on Tuesday night , at the Railway Terminus , at the Nine Elas Station . The flames first broke oat in the locomotive engine department . It is estimated that the property destroyed cannot exceed £ 50 , 000 . It is probably under than over that amount . The iron turning lathes alone are valued at £ 3 . 000 . The fire
originated in the stores , where the store-keeper had taken a light to examine some casks of oil and turpentine , whicfe were euppoBed to be leaking . A spark fell on the turpentine , which ignited in an instant , and defied all the efforts of the men to extinguish it . It is an old adage that Misfortunes seldoa come alone ; " this morning , ( Wednesday ) from some cause , not at present ascertained , the whole of the ten o ' clock train was placed in imminent danger , by the tender and two of the carriages getting off the rails . A delay of twentyfive minutes took place , but no very serious damage was sustained .
The Petition ConimTEE . —L » St evening , the committee , ( consisting of the really hard-working and honest men , who are ornamented with " fustian jackets and blistered hands , " ) keld their usnal weekly public meeting , at the Dispatch Coffee House , Bride-lane , Fleet-street ; Mr . Milk in th ? chair . Mr . Balls ( who had been elected by the members of tbe Finsbury National Charter Association , on the Sunday previous ) was added to tht Committee . A letter from Pontypool was read , stating that they bad got a petition ready , signed by three thousand persons , on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Joues ; and the secretary was directed to forward instructions as to the best means of obtaining Ub presentation to the House of Commons . A
letter from poor Carrier , ( now in Devizes murdertrap , ) was also read , relative to bis treatment in gaol ; and a petition , founded npon the letter , was oraered to be immediately got ready . Forty petitions were received from various individuals and bodies in the Metropolis , some for the Welsh martyrs , some for Mr . O'Connor , and all for the Charter . A petition was also received from T&vistock , (!!!) signed by six hundred and sixty six individuals , on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones , which was forwarded to Mr . Dun com be for presentation to the " Commons . " A letter from Mr . Hume was read , expressing his readiness to present any petitions that might be entrusted to him .

PATTING ON THE BELLY . LAST AND MOST GLORIOUS OF ALL THE GLORIOUS VICTORIES OF THE GLORIOUS CHARTISTS . W ^ cannot give our glorious troops half glory enough . By our second edition of last week , and our first of the present , the out-posts will bava learned the total defeat of the combined Whig and Tory forces , by a mere section of the grand army Yes , the victory gained on Thursday last , in midday , ( mind , in mid-day , ) when time was no object to the rich oppressor , but a great one to the poor oppressed , ) should satisfy all parties of the utter hopelessness of longer deferring justice , except at a risk too hazardous to be ventured upon .
The Whigs have had their fresh-water pipes laid in all directions , and their ventilators to give the smothering faction " inside" a little freah air from without . They have had their " Corn Law " husting-humbugs recruiting for the pressure without , to aid and assist the pressure within ; but that has failed . The Chartists met the combined forces of that faction , and annihilated them ; and the Times and our Great Grandmother ( for she has had another generation since she became a grand-mamma ) and all the Tories" patted poor ion * upon the back , " and
said , " go it Chartists ; O . you made admirable speeches , fraught with good sound common ssnse , on Monday night , the 1 st of March , when you smashed the Whig pressure from without ; but they were long , rambling , incoherent , and discursive , when they fell on our backs . " How ignorant some teachers are ! The Tories said , " now let us try our hands upon our humbug out-pressure , as the other humbug has failed , and let us " pat Johnkt upon the belly . " So they get poor old Walteb . to pay for the grand room at the Crown and Anchor , the very spot still ringing with shouts
of Chartist victory—and they get Tom Duxcombe , almost the only one uncontaminatcd gentleman in St . Stephens—aud they have the Coroner ready on the spot , to hold an inquest upon the body of deceased Whiggery , and they hook in some letters from the noble Frost , whom " tLe bloody old Times , " belonging to Mr . Walter , tried to murder , having first blasted hi 3 character with the whole jury class ; and tLis same Mr . Walter has the matchless effrontery to use the virtues of the man whom he Eought to destroy , for the ssrviDg of his own paltry party purposes .
Aye , aye , now we find the predictions of the banished Frost used by his most implacable enemies to pro-re his -worth and their -airworthiness . But the people are wide arrake ; they know that their Tory friends are only jealous of not being the concccter 3 of so good a measure as they call the New Poor Law ; and while their leading journal is beating up for the recruiting service , their general of brigade is begging ¦ that the dog ' s tail may be taken off at two snigs instead of OHe . Joseph Surface says , " L ? t us starve them only foi fire years , instead of ten—let us do thing 3 gently , and by degree ? . '' Bat how did the gentlemen vote , and how will they now vote !
Well , but what part did the Protean Coroner ; take ! Why , he says , " O , respect Mr . Walteb , for bo gave aie great assistance in gettiiig the Dorchester j Labourers back . " ; By a parny of reasoning , then , we are not to b 9 astonished if we find Mr . Coroner intro- j duciag Sir R-jBEhi Peel to a Charti 3 t audience , j announcing that the R ght Hon . Baronet declared i the justice of the East India Company paying Lord ¦ Kea . ve £ 2000 a year , instead of the English people , ! and that he was for only cutting half the dog's tail j off at a timsj or , perhaps , he may introduce Jew i
D'Iskaeli to us , as the patriot who made the best j attack upon the government factory spy system in ' support of Mr . Fjelde-v ' s motion for enquiry ; or ] who knows but we shall see the resuscitated body of tie deceased Damel paraded ! This picking out of the best spots ih the many-coloured z : bra , wont do ; we want healthy patriotism ; not rank corruption with ono unpuirinsd spot upon the decaying body . Mr . WiKLET gor a hint , on Thursday , tLat he j will , ere long , require some one to speak to his own character . Thi 3 running with the hare and holding with the hound wont do ; it ie out of fashion .
Tbe fact is , that Wak-let , Hume , and Warbcr- I tos , and those who have been loudest in their out- i door denunciation of the Whigs , have been the very ' crutch upon which Wniggery has been enabled to limp to Downing-street for the last two or three years ; because O'Coknell ' s support would have been nothing , if the English people , and English ; principle and English opinions , had found anything like representation in the House of Commons , j Those are the camp followers , who abuse all and I
every thing for-a living , while they live upon abuse . ! . Will the two factions now stop ? The Wlu ' gj have j tried " pattiDg on the bank ; " and the Tories hare ' tried " patting on the belly , " till , between them , they have made poor John ' s belly and back-bone meet ; and , at la « t , Johk ia " fiat" with them , he « ay » , ** No more of year humbug ; if YOU repealed our Starration Acts to-morrow , YOU eould \ and would give us worse ones the day after , so we will now have no more of your cooking . " !
O Coksob took a right course upon this subjeet He said , " Petition , bus no meetings to interfere with the flow of Chartism . " He said , " Pray for nc alteration ; tell them it is a robbery ; tell them that you will oppose every man who supports it ; tell them to cease all legislation until the people are represented . " This was the proper and necessary course for the people to pursue ; out these poor gentlemen were not aware of the difference between petitioning against a measure , in order to exhibit

the full force of public indignation with regard to it , and the value of a yublio meeting converted into a " whole hog" Chartist triumph . The poor old Tirn . es is furious , and oar Great Granny is in fits , and old Walter has exploded of Tory damp : he kicked the bucket , and the Coroner took him off to the " Hole in the Wall , " to hold an inquest . The poor Chartists , who were all Solons on Monday , the 1 st of March , were all fools on Thursday ,
the 11 th ; and the Times threatens us with withdrawing all aristocratic countenance from us , and " throwing us upon our own resources , " and we are in a shocking way , and don ' t know what can or will become of us , having lost the hunch back of " Master Walter , " and the countenance of the Times and our Great Grandmother . Alas ! alack-a-day that we should live to see it ! Ah ! good Times and Herald , don't cut us now , after having so long and so nobly fought our every battle side by side .
Again , we eay , sand m the petitions in thousands ; but whenever Whigs and Tories call a meeting for the repeal of the Poor Law , or for any other measure , or for the consideration of any question , no matter what , if it was to pave the streets with penny loaves , and thatch the houses with pancakes , upset one and all ; move your own your only hope everlastingly : give no quarter , you have never got any . There is nothing like the plain , blunt , honest , straightforward course . They one and all want to starve you , but each has his own choice mode of doing it . Stick to them like leeches , as they have stuok to you ; and never , never stop till yon have sucked back every drop of y » ur own blood , which has been stolen from your Yeins . If all desert you , we will stand by you to the last , while there ' s a beggar to make rage , and a mill to make paper .
Thero is only ono thing of which we beg to remind you . In your poverty , pray preserve your good manners and your good breeding ; and when a gentleman tells you , as Mr . Walteb did , that he paid for tho room , always thank him , and ask him for change of the Chartist note you gave him . The meeting was quite right to put Captain Neksou— ( we bad almost given him a step , and said Major Nkesom)—in the chair ; and Captain Cleave deserves the thanks of the nation for not being wheedled by Mr . Waklet and tho shams into half measures . O that Leeds battle was to fight over again , now that Birmingham has done such Bemce , and that the London garrison has taught us the art of war .
Go it , good Chartists ! We wish Mr . Waklet joy of his new allies ! This has been the finisher of all Tory hope for Chartist sympathy : we are not going to erect despotism upou the ruins of tyranny . Hurrah for the cause , and no surrender , and down with both factions ! We always said that we never could succeed till the enemies united , and gave battle as they are sure to do . If they cannot make us beat ourselves , or if the " cocked tails " cannot boat us , they must then try the last rcRource—a union of the factions against the nation . Let then « omeoD ! Let them but dissolve , which they must do shortly , and then we come face to face—then we are all « quals ! Then God help them and their backers , and God help the cock-tails , aud God will help the Chartists , for they will help themselves .
Pressed as we are for room , we should deem it an act of high treason , to withold the two letters from our beloved Frost , and Mr . Walter ' s introduction and comment . Mr . Walter said : — " They all knew the history of the unfortunate , and , he must say , criminal , Mr . Frost —( crieu of " No , nonot criminal , "from a knot of Chartists )—and his companions in Wales . Far was he from approving of Mr . Frost ' s conduct—( "lie ' s an honest man , " said a Chsrttist ) ;—far was he from sanctioning tbe first attempt at bloodshed in this country against tke constituted authorities . iHear , bear . ) Indeed , no one could condemn it more ; for he hoped , and still trusted , that , the Constitution continued to supply the peaceful means of
self-defence to those who were determined to resist aggression and cruelty . iCheere . ) But he was further of opinUn , that great weight and importance ought to be attributed to tbe opinions of such a man as Mr . Frost—( loud cheers from the Chartists ; , —immersfd , though he subsequently was , in the excesses of Chartism , as to the facts whence it eprung , how it was to be propagated , and what would be its results . From Mr . Frost ' s testimony he learnt , end so ho hoped would our rulers horn , that the iJl-omencd parent of Chartism was the New Poor Law—( Cheers )—of Chartism , not taken in its simpler form , of a placid opinion
on personal rights and privileges , but of Chartism in its most aggravated character of resisting authority ami committing murder . ( Hear , hear . ) It so happened that during the tfiorts which he was making to resist the New Poor Law , Le received , without any previous knowledge of tlio writer , tvro letters from Jlr . Frost—\ hear , heaT , )—then a magistrate of Lord John Russoll ' s appointment —( hear , hear , )—and then also juf > t constituted s , guardian of tbe poor under the ferocious Poor Law . Those letters he would now read to the meeting . It would be observed that they wwe written two years and three-quarters befo .-e the outrages in Wales : — " Newport , Monmouthshire , Feb . 25 , 1 S 37 .
" Sir , —I am a guardian of the poor , and also mayor ot the borough . Some time ago the Pour Law CummL&sioner 3 seDt to our union eix dietaries , one of which we were to select to regulate tbe quantity of food to be allowed to the paupers in our workhouse . I made » motion that tach guardian be sent a copy of the dietary to give him an opportunity of examining whether the , quantity was sufficient , and at the stune time 1 expressed my determination to add to the allowance , it being my opinion that it is too little to sustain life . ( Chartist cheers . ) This morning Mr . Ciive , the assistant P ^ or Law Commissioner , attended our meetiii £ he asked me what alteration I intended to propose iu the dietary ? I said , a greater quantity of food , and that the paupers should have occasionally a littto beer . 1 * ( said he ) ' directed to inform you , that whatever determination the board may come to , the Pour
Law Commissioners will make no alteration in the dietary . ( Loud cries of ' Shame , shame . ' ; They will not allow a greater quantity of food ; thoj -will aliow no beer ; in abort , tfce board must adopt one of the Ublts , without any addition . " My answer was , ' I was xent here by the inhabitants of the borough , as a guardian of the p > or of the borough . I will endeavour to see that the money of my constituents in not improperly applied—shear , lu-ar );—but I will also sue that thosy whu are forced by poverty to apply to the parish for relief shall not be put on a quantity of food too small to sustain life . ( Hear , hear . ) I have not yet , nor do I mean to consider the will of the Poor Law Commissioners as to the quantity of food to be allowed to the paupers . I will exercise my own judgment , quite regardless whethtr tha Poor L ^ w Commissioners are ofiVmled or pleased . ' ( Chartist cheera )
" If you think this letter of any service , Mr . Walter is quite at liberty to make use of it ; and if he is ef the opinion that a petition will serve the cause , I wiil send him one from the petitioners . " I remain , Sir , " Your very obedient Servant , " JOHN FKOST . " —( Great cheering from the Chartists . ) Tne otter lf-tter was addressed to him ( Mr . Walter ) ab . jut tfen da ^ e afterwaxds , and Was in tH 6 following terms : —
"Newport , Monmouthshire , March 6 , 1837 . " Sir , —I have enclosed for your perusal a placard published by myself and my colleague , the guardian for the borough . Although there are in this part of the coantry Bome in favour of the New Poor Law , yet no one attempts to refute the statements which ti > is placard cmtains . I believe that the average of allowance throughout England to out-door paupers will not exceed two shillings a head , and I cannot see that it is possible te maintain a human being for less , unless it is th « inteution of the authorities to starve the paupers . ( Chartist cheers . ) I do uot beiieve the statements as to the saving of the new system ; I cannut see how they are to be made . We have not been long enough iu
this part of the conntry to decide accurately as to thf saving UDder the new law ; of one thing , however , I am Certain , that the hatred to it is continually iucreasing . It evidently tends to increase the hatred , already puwerful fenough , between the rich ana the poorer classes of society . ( Chartist cheers . ) Public feeling is Voo strong in thi * neighbourhood toEufferany jross cast ** of cruelty . The guardians did , on last Saturday , agree to the dietary , which in my opinion is much too small . If thig should be found to be so , I will certainly lay the matter by petition before the House , It is monstrous to think that three hired men should have bo much
power placed in their hands . ( Cheers . ) The boards of guardians are complete ciphers ; all they have to do is to carry into execution the edicts of the Commissioners . Some time ago ourdoors were opened to the public ; the motion passed unanimously ; they were open for three weeks without the least inconvenience . When the Poor Law Commissioners heard of it , they sent down peremptory orders to the guardians to close them — ( hear , hear;)—which order the board obeyed , without even remonstrating . I beiieve Mr . Hall , the member for the borough , will support any motion for an alteration in the law as is now stands . He is , 1 have reason to telieve , sorry that he supported it . it wunM be

guardians oJ populous plstces , tbe poor would be treated much worse than they are at present , "lam , Sir , ** Your obedient servant , John fkosi . " Cheers . ) " To J . Walter , E «^ ., M . P . «• The placard to which Mr . Frost alluded was too l « ng to be read on the present occasion , but bo could assure the meeting that it was humane in its principle ! and temperate in its language . His communication with Mr . Frost , whom he never saw , began and ended with these letters . Now , what was the inference to be drawn
from them ? Mr . Frost might only know what would be the effect of the New Poor Law in his own Union —that it most lead to outrage . To outrage it did lead : in that opinion , at least , be was not deoeived . It might be said that Mr . Frost himself produced the evils which he predicted in these letters . Treason , hewever , was rarely contemplated three years before it broke out into overt acts . But if , contrary to all probability , ii were so contemplated , what gave Mr . Frost the materials with which he worked ? What prepared ready instruments in his hands ? What brought thousands to his standard more zealous for mischief than himself r He ( Mr . Walter ) answered , the New
Poor Law . " It mu 9 t be borne in mind that we give this extract from the Times , which would make it appear that the meeting tolerated even reproof of Fbost by Walter ; the fact being , according to all reports , that the old hypocrite was peppered like a target with Chartist hisses and Chartist groans , whenever he dared to venture upon a word in condemnation of Frost .
Let every Chartist and Christian read the above , and then ask himself where the honest and humane Mayor of Newport now is , and what he is there for , and who sent him there ! Echo auswers " in a felon ' s dress , in a ponal settlement , away from his own family , for looking for food and justice for ours . " Lot the British lion arouse from hia slumbers , up , and shake the dew drops fro . n his mane , and ask for his restoration with a lion's voice .
Walter , say a Fbost , is a man whose opinions should have weight with the Government . Did the Times , which is Walter's , or did Walter , say this , when saying it might have Bayed Frost from persecution ! No , the rascals bought his indictment from his attorney , called him swindler , traitor , cheat , and murderer , and so on ; « nd now , having made him the victim of their helHshvengeaace to please an advertising community , they conns forward to pourtray his honour , hia love of justice , his humanity and patriotism , while , they are still vociferating against Whig lenityV . ) to Fros r .
Thus are the people ' s friends lopped off , one by one , by tho faotion who would make merchandise of their ^ ery misfortunes , haying first created them . We trust this exposition will give those who have a leaning to Toryism a sickener . Let us once help them to power , and they would help us to destruction ; but , let them tteal power , the sooner the better ; then they must fight us with hdters around their necks . Mr . Walter asked " What gave Mr . Frost the
materials with which he worked ! What prepared ready instruments in his hands ! What brought thousands to his standard , more zealous for mischief 1 " Ho ( Mr . Walter ) answered , "The New Poor Law ; " and we ask who gave us the New Poor Law ? and we answer the Whigs and the Tories . So NO UNION WITH THE TORIES .

ORGANIZATION . Ws are obliged to defer our intended article on organization to another week . Meantime , we call emphatically ^ th e Chartists throughout every district to be proceeding with the nomination of the General Council . Let the sub-Secretaries of every district send in immediately the names of the existing Council in each locality , or of such other persons as the people may determine on at their meetings tomorrow and Monday , as nominated to serve on the first General Council of the National Charier
Association of Great Britain . This is necessary to be done instantly , because tho Executive Committee must be chosen from the General Council , and cannot therefore be elected until that body shall have come into existence . Wo gave in our last a general form of nomination , for the guidance of the several eub-Secretaries : we iiive elsewhere , in our present paper , the address of the Provisional Executive , from which they can take the ad'Jress of Mr . Campbell , the Secretary to the Provisional Exrcutivo , who of course acts , pro tempore , as General Secretary .
Two copies of every nomination should be written , one of which the sub-Secretary should file , and send the other to the General Secretary ; and it would also be a great saviwg of trouble , both to the General Secretary and to us , if each sub-Secretary would tiko the additional trouble of sending to this office the names , occupations , and residences , of all the persons nominates ! by him—distinguishing all those appointed aa Sub-Treasurers and Sub-Secretaries : thus : — " Persons nominated for General
Council at ' John Sharp , woolcomber , 16 , Nelson-street , George Fisli , joiner , 5 , Wood-street , Eli Bites , joiner , Black Abbey , W James Jon » s , shoemaker , Market-place , g ^ JohnThwha * , weaver , Liltlo Hortou , §> Aiiam Wise , wool . sorter . Bowling , 2 . Richard Fry , schoolmaster , Longcroft-place , Sub Si cretary , Tliomas Wtl-ou , tailor , Market-street , Sub-Troasurer . "
Signed , Thomas Smith . Copies of the Nominations being thus sent to us from every place , would enable us to compare the lists of the General Secretary , and it may be to prevent mistakes ; while it would materially forward the getting up of the whole list for publication . Observe , however , that they should not be later in our hands than Wednesday .

Mr . Editor , —I beg to address a few words to the men of England and Wales , but especially those of tbe HuddeYsfield distriet , -who , I am sure , will be upon the alert . They are , or ought to be , well aware , that on this 20 tb rtuy of March , that they have , or are entitled to have , a voting paper for the election of Guardians . Examine well the character of thocandidates . nominate ^ , apprise one another of what you know of them , and . by no means vote for those who are advocates of the bastiles ; support men , be their politics what they may , who are favouraMe to the just and merciful law of the < 3 rd of Elia-. betb ; let the cry be— "No tiastilers nor bastiles , down with the whole starvation system . "
I would rfGominend that general and sub committees be formed in every township , who ought to visit every bouse , and give directions how to fill up their voting vapors , but on no account to fill up a single paper for those who can write ; and for those who cannot , when you have placed the voter ' s name opposite the peison or person's name , for whom he wishes to vote , at the bottom write his name thus—seeing that he himself makes the X : — his Adam X Anderson , mark . . Joseph Dean , witness . And be sure that some person is in the house on Tuesday , the 23 rd , who can deliver the voting paper to the collector when he calls for it ; you must have it ready or the vote wdl be lost . .
Where it can be done , let meetings be held to consult ; and where'the people are Strangers , they might be invited to such place as might be fixed upon for instruction ho * v t j nil the papers ; for , depend upon it , there is no justice nor fairplay . The Three-Devil Kings have made the clerks the returning officers , in order that they might have it in their power to rob you ol jom franchise , wad send you to those wretched , appalling abodes of misery , despair , and woe—the butiles . The anti-bastile candidates for Hndderafleld art
Messrs . Wuitworth , Thornton , Poppleton , Brnnton , and Liddall , the Whig skilly men are , Messrs , J . Bottomley ( Cherry Tree ) , B . Robinson Lane , Tommy Ibbotson , Tommy Shepherd , and Tommy Kilner : the people know to vote , and thero will be 2 , 000 of a majority . However , let them be cautious in filling up the voting papers ; let them go to some friend and consult toother , or form committees to see that they are filled up correctly , or they will be thrown out as bad ; and lut a list of those who vote be kept for etery division ami tuktn to the scrutiny .
