TO THE OPBRATIVB CLAB 8 RS OF THB TOWN QT NEWBT _ 0 raa _ 2 TD GEKBBAiLT . FrLLOW-lLATB ^ fl ttix g aa addreu Ln theWwaam Storrflatf week , slgneC by Daniel O-ConneU , M . P ., ¦ Wh ich lad been ciffeyi . 'fMra an Irish p * per , and which contains stateme&tst&rmoct fallacious , and unsupported lid c&IamnioBs rtfe p tkiin tad mioepreseatationa of ^ p ett die , eonetrnbu : the Chartkts of England a Scotland , ~ vzit $ m lrith an ' evidently poisonous sad unjust iotesOoa to excite roar feelings , and cause jealocny betwixt yon , the working men of Ireland , and th * ¦* rking rhea of England : we , who hare been app ' - ' stad to vrateh otct the agitation for the People ' s Charter , the ostensible object of which nearnre , -when achieved , is to give the same justice and liberty to Irelaud a * to ^ TTg ^ "fi and Scotland , are emboldened , for the irJce of truth , Uins to address you .
Br ethren , Mr . O'Connell gives you credit for honesty mad ahrawdaeae , which we jcad with pleasure . Therefore , we claim your attention to both sides of the question , to pre the subject an impartial investigation , as loTers >! truth and fsar play ;— at such a tribunal we are wiP-L . g to be arraigned . While reading the addren , we conceded the writer was something like Shakspeare ' s limner , that is when he -wished to make the devil in the pls » y appear as frightful as possible , he painted him as ugly as he could to produce an extra degree of surprise ; and in reTiswing the arguments in the addres / we will give him a sentence from the introduction to the life of Jeremy Taylor , in illustration of the reasoning of them . The
extrac : in question , is from "Agricola . " It givea an account of some spirits who worked under ground , and aadly frightened the timid people , ami W-re a source of great p * - * gue to them . They were miners , they melted , tbey u / xed , they coined , they wrote , they spcte , they reasoned , they argued , they discussed , tbey turned , they tvristed , and performed various and wonderful exploits , dreadful and acuoying ia the imaginations of the people . But , alas . ' W 2 ien the vessel which contaiiK-c ! them was upset , toth 9 greit ast 03 i ? hnient of tie old wtnen in the neighbourhood and the by-standers , crat rapped nothing ! Just so it is in reference to the address of 0 "ConnelL He has laid a foundation in Imag ^ r ~ lion csly , and reissued from false premises . K ' s deductions , as a matter of course , are
erronecrs . F-il ? "w slwes , —If we may judge from the writer ' s pretensions , he , above all others , should te the last man "srho eoald eiiher write or speak one sentiment , either puMiely or privately , ¦ which would lave the least temlsisry to disunite the people of England , Scotland , and Lriian-i- We need not remind you that it is thti fame h .-rde of tyrants who oppress both you and C 3 . The h ** . ? , and circumstances which have d * -siroy « l the inter- » ' of one country , Have operaSed alike upon that of tL- iiiher . The working msa of Ireland are branded with the slavs-mark of inferiority—so are the "Working aeti « . c England . Poverty , slavery , misery , and ilesti
tatit-n are the lot i _ f both the operatives of England and Ireland . Property is exclusively protecte-i in Englu .-l andIreland ! Labour , and the iift-V . ood of tinmen jf bo : h countries are unprotected . One class cf soeietr , -who produce nothing , live in splendour , lnxuiT , and ixtraviganc- - ; whilst those who produce all £ -. necessaries iad comforts of life , are living Kpon ih ? coai ? £ st of food , and clothed in rigs . You , the WTJrk ' -Tis people of Ireland , are victims of the sime slaver * - -ithainen of England are ; which h * s been ** odn-.- . > i by c ! a 3 s-legislation ; and vre would wiih you fceur in mind , that you ever will be , so long as you i fcx . rudod from all participation in making the laws , klci vr . XL protect labour as well as property .
Then , feiiow slaves , is it good policy for him who professes >¦ - be tha friend of $ he " working classes , to endea-Tour So foster and keep up jealousies betwixt the peeple .: each country ! Or , would it not be better for br-. h to unite and bring their talents , influence , and enerjfies to bear against the common enemy , which has fceea and is now crushing both you and us ? We have had Bixreen months of moral agitation , and no signs of « nj attempt of a violation of the law . We have submitted rm principles to public disenssiun , and , we tfjolee : o say , that thousands , who once stood aloof and
beaten -s with contempt , are" now our most sealcuj snpporitr 3 . We think it " unjust in 3 Ir . O'Concell to persecute mm for supporting the Charter , and endeafour to p- - -r ? aade you , hia countrymen , to reject those principles whieh he himself recommended to be carried out by the English people , more especially when we take itu > consideration the notorious fact , that he vras one of the six individuals who drew up the Charter . He , it * . 3 , who told the committee of the Workicgmen ' B A . ^ socistian in Londc-n , to agitato for the five points . - - -I to be satisfied with cothing less .
Mr . O t ' -.-ntieii cula us a iurtor . ; . to which we do » ot feti inclined to plead giiiity . VT © cannot conceive how th .- rjost wily cam sh-jw that a society of men who il-. ocate a measure which will give the same priviler- to a * l men , be their religion , cless , country , or colo'ir what they may , can be justly called a faction l-y any min . The tr < _ e is known by its fruit- "" TTe btueve , that by aviating for Universal Sn&age . we are en , . eaTcuring to' wLtain th&t wh : ch -vr "' put the power Into the hands of the peopje of Irela ^ . i , to mere sp ~ . ii ' : y obtain the Repeal of the ¦ Snicm . The K&tional I > ebt , yon must be aware , presses as heavily upon the industry of the English people as it doss npon yon , tUe people of Ireland . We are perfectly awaie of the rvsourc ^ ot ireUnd ; md , Et the rame time , we are sorry to record the lamentable and deplorable fact , that thousands art
itarving for Tant of the comforts of life , whilst the eggs , fc ^ tf , batttr , p ^ rk , 4 c ic , are exported in * bundarive to ether countries . - We are quite agreed with you . relative to domestic legislation . Bu » the question arises , tow is the Parliament to be elected ? Here ws have a Parliament sitting in London , who profess : o be ths representatives of the people of England . Ireland , and Scotland ; and the people of the United jl . ngdom are in the greatest distress ; and , were the same to sit in Dublin , ' constituted as it is , the same results would follow . However , we feel disposed t ^> be very pliable on this point If the people of Ireland wish Bucb a Parliament as we have as-• embled in London to legislate for them , we would gladly mike thtn \ a present of the whole batch of Queen , Lcrds , and Commons . - 'BiEhops into the bargain , on condition that you w&uld let us have one chosen by Universal Suffrage in its stead .
Mi . O'Connell , in addressing the tradesmen of Newry , « ys , "We are your friends , your sincere , nay more , your € = ;/ friends . " This , we think , is begging the question , and also has an evident intent to court their support , and for them to reject all others . " Actions cpeak louiir than words , " and " facts are stubborn things . " Te cannot tkink that any man is a friend vho wonU act as he did in reference to the forty AHline fr « holders-Hav : u ^ taken a view of the introductory part of his &&drts >; , we proceed to notice his reasons why Chartiam , which me ^ ns a vote for every man of _ sane mind , and who pays faxes , either by labour or otherwise , of twenty-one years of age , to have a vote in the repre-• entfctioa •{ his country , should not be encouraged in Ireland . We w"l now examine his reasons , one by one , and ire hep ' . rose who have read the original will read the JUBvrer , =: d compare them onewith the other before they civf their verdict
First—In reply to this despotic law , we would just point o-t th . B cunning of the writer , in applying it exclusively to he Chartists . Is it not equally as applicable to the Society of Repealers , or any other Society holding correspondence with ths people of Ireland ? Perhaps he will tell you that his influence is so great at Downnig-strtet , that he will save those in connection irith his > .. * n pet measures . If bo , let him speak out upon this matter , as plainly as he has in his address . He has intimated that he will carry on the prosecation , giving a true specimen of his liberality to those unfortunate slvres who dare think for themselves , or cease paying the " rinf Seeoad—Will you beli « ve fchsA & ceiiain law is trpon the itstute-book against the name of Chartist ? ITo ; this is only an indirect way of misrepresenting to you the visws and object * of the Chartists , to excite the fears and worst passiens of the people , in order to put doTa , if possible , the true pr inciples of liberty , and te the people to remain in ignorance .
Third—Is the old cuckoo " cry of physical force to i be continually wrung in your ears ? Xow has not Mr . j O'OonneYl made use ot stronger language tb * n any ; other living man ? We will give one quotation which \ ¦ will Buffi-r j , although not the mildest . ' ¦ At the Dr ^ gheda ] dinner he is reported to have said , speaking of th& I miaerics ¦ - ' . Ireland , " So help me God , I weuld rather ' see ter :-reen fields crimsoned with gore , and her ! streams running with blood , thsn see her mirfries i continue ' . " Yet , do we wish to pin him to this I distinct nvowal of his feelings , btcau * e we say that tte ! moral p-jwer of the whole people can obtain their I object '> Ve could not consider onrselvtai men , if we ¦ oondemt-. d the hallowed and sanguinary itruggles of . the t'riv- Ametic ^ na , under the guidance of the im- j mortal Washington , against the oppressors of their
country . Who will dare cast aspersioas « r calumniate the characters of Bruce , Wallace , Tell , Tyler , Bulls , Bolivar , ^ nd , though last , not least , your own beloved and patriotic Emmett ? Recollect , Irishmen , that mrrrni s t amps revolution with the name of patriotism , i while dtf « a taudj it duwn as rebellion and treason . ! Fonrth—We s * ek only to be connected with Irish : CbartUm in a legal and constitutional manner , each , fcdvocatiug the rights of man , in accordance with the Ilffi of U-is country ; and insinuations to the contrary m used for the purpose of blinding the working men of Ireland . Allusion has been made to that great and good man , John Frost , who could not look upon the miseries of his fellow countrymen quietly , if he tui traa friend to the working cIakbcs ; and because this
tu the extent cf hii crime . And it is our opinion , thai that Government which ilr . O'Connell supports so powerfully , sent its paid minions among the people to goad them to Insurrection ; and , we 0 « fy him to point to any people who ever rebelled against the fknwnment until goaded on by oppression and tyranny . Fifth—With that casuistry , at which the resorters of te Dublin Cora Exchange are such particular adepts , HM 7 Ml you that tba Irish Chartists would have no « oatn « l «*«* the English Chartists , m case the latter •¦¦ Bitted viotaae * , or lafrin ^ td upon the law ; ire VNtt Ml tonf they siioiUd hare sucu controoL ScotiMdaota sow independent of England ; the systems of jpWas&m an dU&rent ; u ' . l , both : hate a proper MaataftdiBf , aad go alike for Universal Suffrage . % "SjJiirtTtii » i eteUwaMae ? lilt trtasocabto hi

Irishmen to Ve n * o \ We emphatically ask whether Irishmen should be considered inferior , in point ot intelligence or mental capacity , to Englishmen or Scotchmen ? Away with such notions ! for ire ars sure the working classes of Ireland have now began to value themselves . They will not go for any thing shvrt of placing themselves equally in the eyes of the law with the haughtiest lordling of the land . Sixth—This charge Is false— all the Chartists wish is , free discussion and fair-play , a " free stage and no favour . " We demand where the expression of the public voioe is solicited , to be allowed to speak the sentiments of our minds independently and fearlessly of consequences . And , because we stand up like men for our right , we are treated as " exclusionists . " The party who make this charge are perambulating the country , pretending to call public meetings , but exercising the worst species of tyranny , by requesting the assistance of the police to lock our jaws . We bad a striking illustration of this sort of conduct , in the treatment of Lowery and Murray in Ireland .
Seventh—As the seventh reason in the O'Connell address appertains , in particular , to public meetings , we proceed to explain the way in which a public meeting ought to be called in any given city , borough , town , or district The meeting being assembled , then , it ought to choose its own chairman . On the moving aad seconding of any resolution , before it ia put , the chairman ought to ask if there is any amendment , and if so , he proceeds to take the opinion of the meeting , the amendment first , and then the motion , and that which has the majority is carried . Now , how did the Chartists ot Glasgow act ? A publia meeting was convened of the inhabitants of that town , for eight o ' clock in the evening , for the purpose of submitting resolutions in favour of Lord Morpeth's BilL Well , what did the parties do who got up the meeting ? Why , instead of waiting until eight o ' clock , they issued tickets t » their particular friends , calling them together at six
o ' clork . A CUMtist obtained admission to the meeting , and requested to be informed of the reason why the meeting was called at six o ' clock . He asked Dr . Murdeck by whose authority the meeting was not delayed lill the proper time , to give the working classes an opportunity of beirg present On this being done , this party attacked indiscriminately all the Chartists in the rooiii , and treated them very brutally . The Rev . Gentleman who was in the chair could not preserve order . Captain Miller , superintendent of the police , bad to interfere , in order to save the lives of the Chartists . This caused great excitement in Glasgow ; and a i > ublic meeting of tiie inhabitants took plac « two evenings afterwards , when both Stanley ' s and Morpetu ' s Bills were denuunced as u : just , and a motion passed , in a meeting of 6 , 000 persons , declaring that justice would never be done to Ireland until every Irishman bad a v-jte , by law , in the government of his country .
. Now , why has not ilr . O'Cunnell BuiSciei > t honesty to inform you , that when Hugh Stowell , of Orange notoriety , went to Bath to call a meeting , in order to establish an anti-Catholic Association , thai the Chutists assembled in their might and majesty , and " ar outnumbered the bigots ; indeed , there was three to one of Chartists . Tc « y told him to go about hia business , ami tola him they would not allow him to abuse the Citholics , and pxssed a resolution in favour of the Charter ! N >; O'CouneU knew better than tell the truth of the Chartists . Eighth—Why should an appeal be made to our religious opinions ? W « are the children of one Creator ; therefore , it is a duty incumbent upon us to bear with each other , t » assist each other ; but not let that which ought to unite us in the closest bonds of union , be made the cause of separation .
Kiuth—That the Chartists of England and Scotland are " exclusionists . " We deny the charge ; for we seek to place every man within the pale of the law . We say it is unjust for any class of men to make laws for another without their consent As to the middle classes , have they not betrayed the toiling millions of this and every other country ? They are selfish in all their proceedings . We have no confidence in their professions . By whom are the producers of wealth robbed of their earnings ? Why , by the middle elasses . We , the toiling millions are producing wealth for every class of society . How is this ? Labour is unrepresented . The l : \ -K 8 protect the middle classes and their property , because they make them .
Tmth—Let Mr . O'Connell , if he can , but we defy him , point out where the Chartists bave interfered with the religions opinions of any man . We do net do so , because we tbiak it is too sacred an affair to be meddled with : we leave this entirely to man and hU Creator . We , therefore , give the right hand of fellowship to e ery man , let his creed be what it may ; and we fling bick tj Mr . O'Connell the charge that we wish to spptal to the religious feelings of f .. e people . Let us be men , and uo longer tools in tie hands of any man who would wish to divide the people upon such trifling difll-rcnees .
Eleventh—The charge in this clause is entirely false , that Chartiits have been hired by the Tories . The person alluded to at Walsall is not a Chartist , nor even a private member , consequently , he cannot be considered in the light of a leader . He has had nothing to do with the Association these last two years . How would Kepealers take it if we were to charge tho fauits of men who did not belong to them upon them ? It is rather too bad for us to be made responsible for men who are not members . We have pub . icly shewn that he was not a member , and yet these wretches , who are enemies to the liberties of the people , are continually harping upon this string . Nightingale himself has promised to skew that he did not belong to us , in order to prove that we are clear of the charge imputed to us .
Twelfth—This clause is unjust Every Irishman can kd a Chartist and a Repealer at the same time ; indeed , he will , we ars confident , have to become a Chartist before he can obtain Repeal . That the Irish Chartists are the true Repealers , inasmuch as they are going for a measnre which , if carried , would give the people the po ^ et of repealing the Union more speedily -, and , in roference to the latter part of this clause , we conceive that to be an set of the basest despotism , and to come with a very bad grace from him who accuses us of being " exclusionists , " because we will not be led astray by every factious clap-trap presented by the middle classes .
Thirteenth—Itissaid that the laws in regard to political bodies in Ireland are more strict than in England , and yet the Chartists are denounced by O'Connell , because they are endeavouring to place you in a position to repeal all such infamous enactments . It is also said , that " a Chartist society exists in Newry , " which the promulgators of the address say they did not believe . Then why , we ask , did they write an address to impede its progress ? They know that , the principles are going a-head in Newry ; "its members will be imprisoned or transported before the expiration of six months . " Bravo , Mr . O'Connell ! already have you let the cat out ef the bag . Have you not said to " the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " ( do not start ; these are your own names for your pets , ) " Begin per-Eecution , put down Chartism , crush the rising spirit of iibeity in Ireland , and I will back you . " This is the conclusion to which every honest man will come . Yousay 7 'ju tre apprised of the parties who are propagating Chajtitni in Ireland . But , Sir , why do you not inform the Whigs and the public who they are ?
Fellow working men , —Do you wish to be free ? If so , adopt the principles contained in the Charter , and reject all who will not concede the same justice as they wish themselves . If , on the other hand , you wish , to burst the bonds of slavery , stand up in the intellectual dignity and majesty of freemen ; assert your , rights , and bequeath to your children the eternal blessings of freedom . You have been applauded for your shrewdnaas and wisdom , and you have been told that during thirty years of agitation no person has suffered imprisonment But how many have sunk into the cold grave , through starvation brought on by c . iiij legislation ! Recollect , that in England , same of the best men in the camp of liberty are Irishmen , via . : O'Brien , O'Connor , ( two of nature ' s noblemen , ) Hoey , Doyle , Connor , White , Mortimer , Mahon , Murray , Shearer , Asbton , Donavan , Clark , and scores of others .
Operatives of Newry ! we have pointed out to you what we consider to be right , and likewise what we conceive te be wrong . Remember , that you are addressed by anxious and sincere friends , whose principles extend to the admission of every man , 21 years of age , to the franchise , and consequently , not only to domestic government , nationally , but individually . In conclusion , do not mistake us . We believe there are many of the hard working men of Newry who admire the holy principles contained in the Charter . We are quite certain that every rational and honest Irishman will go with as for full and effective justice for alL Ev « -ry jral friend to humanity knows we have only
thrie objects in view—the good , the Happiness , and the libtrty of all mankind ; and we sincerely hope the Chartists of Newry , and Ireland in general , will not Cv ^ se propagating these views , which shall ultimately secure the rights of every man in the United Kingdom . We remain . Brethren , In the cause of pur e and genuine democracy , James Leech , President . James Caktledge , Richard Littler , John Campbell , * Secretary , Executive Rooms , Manchester , April 27 th , 18 * 1 .

^ TO THB KD 1 T 0 K OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —Being one of those who signed tho Lovett and Collins document , I did so thinking it would be an auxiliary to the Association already in existence , and relying on the sincerity of its cencoctors . Seeing It was for the Charter , I readily ga ve my name to it , nevor anticipating that it was intended to supersede the present one . I am , therefore , desirous that my name be expunged from the list , the more especially as it is rectiving the countenai . ee ar . d praise of that arch-traitor and burker of universal liberty , Daniel O-ConnelL
Ia a resolution passed at the West Riding Dolegate meeting ( and at several others ) , all who signed the Lovett » nd Collins Circular are represented as aiding the " new move , " and , therefore , " highly censurable , and unvrorthy the confidence of all Cuaitists . " This is certainly very imprudent and premature , to say the least of it , u- tiea ! * o harshly with unsuspecting individuals , by ; ' . a 6 s ; ug them along with the rest . If we have been unsuspte ' . iugiy led astray , ' we are not to be allowed to retrace our ateps , but , Whig-like , the law must at once be carried into execution and hurled down xnon us with a vengeance only to be equalled by that of the Attorney-General himself .
v \ nether I may be considered as opposed to the " old leaders , " or " unworthy tbe confidence of all Chartists , " or be looked up < n , as you have termed us , a " rat escaped from tho trap , " I shall not withhold one farthing of n \ j contributions from the Association to which I belong , it" they choose to accept it ; and if they btliove that I wished to draw behind the curtain , let them at ence erase me from their book , and never trust to me again as one of their number . I bave been led to tl ^ se remarks injustice to myself and some of those whose names were unsuspectingly put to that document along with my own , two of whom you had letters of withdrawal fTom in last week's Star , I mean John M'Crea , ol Kilbarchan , late M .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , Mat 4 . There being only thirty-four Members present at four o ' clock , the Speaker declared the Heuse to stand adjourned until Wednesday .
Wednesday , May 5 lh . The Hi u e of Commons proceeded with the committee on the County Coroners' Bill , on which there were several divisions . The most material of them were on the clauses touching the right of election . It was decided that this right should belong only te residents ; and then , on the question for confining it to the present Parliamentary electors , an amendment was proposed by Mr . Hume for allowing it to all resident freeholders assessed to the poor ' s rate . This being negatived , another amendment was proposed by Mr . Jervia , for leaving the franchise in all the resident freeholders of the county ; and this was adopted . The other clauses of this Bill were of no genera ] interest , though they occupied the whole of the evening .
The question of the Danish Claims , on which It was expected that Ministers would have sustained another defeat , was thus prevented from receiving the consideration of the House until a future day .

stockport . —Another Chartist Victory . — A public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough was held in the Court Room , on Wednesday evening , convened by the Mayor , ia compliance with a requisition signed by a number of cotton masters and middle-class Corn Law repealers , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn Laws . The meeting was called at seven o ' clock , ( an hour before the working classes can leave their employment in the factories ) iu order to give the " broad-cloth" a favourable opportunity , which they embraced , of procuring the best seats , and prevent themselves from being annoyed with being mixed up wiih " fustian jackets and unshorn china . At the time appointed for the meeting to commence , the Mayor entered the room , and was followed by the Town Clerk , the whole batch of Whigs , and his underlings , who are ever ready to do his bidding , let it be ever bo mean and dirty . These are what the Chartists call back boned CoDDOckites . Mr .
Ralph Pendlebury , ( we beg pardon , he haa been made a knight of for his feeble attempts to put down Chartism ) rose to more that the Mayor take the chair . Mr . Coppock objected to a motion , and insisted that he take it by virtue of his office . The Mayor then seated himself by the direction of his master in the chair , and called upon Sir Ralfe to move the first resolution , which was in favour of a repeal of the Corn Laws . Mr . Fernley , another cotton master , seconded it . The chairman was about to put it to the meeting , when Mr . Peter Chappell rose and moved an amendment in favour of the Charter , which was seconded by Mr . James Mitchell . A discussion then commenced—Messrs Chappell , Mitchell , Davies , Wright , and Clarke , for the amendouat : and Messrs . Fernley , Pindlebury , Blackpawa , Coppock . and Hellstrap , for tbe resolution ; but neither of them said a word against the amendment ; but appeared to court the favour of ( he Chartists , After every speaker had

been heard on both sides of tbe question , and by tibia time the capacious room was filled to repletion with the bonay lads of Stockport . The chairman , by the orders of Sir R . Coppock , roso to put the amendment to the meeting , requesting those who voted to hold up both bands ; in answer to which a forest of hands was exhibit , which completely eclipsed every thing else , and there they held them for some time , to give the chairman an opportunity to come to aright conclusion , after which the meeting commenced clapping , stamping , and cheering vooiferously , at the vast quantity of hands held up in favour of the amendment . This appeared to paralyze the Chairman and the Whigs , which effect caused them not to put the resolution to the meeting . The Chartists hailed this as a complete viotory .
Hurrahs , and other marks of applause were given in quick succession . Three terrific groans were given for the Whigs , three also for Coppock for imprisoning the Chartists , which were responded to vehemently . Mr . Clark , an Irishman , proposed three groans for Daniel 0 'Connell * which were responded to warmly . Ho then proposed three cheers for Feargus O'Connor , Esq . —three long , loud , and enthusiastic cheerSj were given for O'Connor ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , &o . &c , and the meeting separated highly delighted . The speakers at the above meeting clearly proved to every man , who is not wilfully blind , that tho Repeal of the Corn Laws , unaooompanied by other measures , will be no benefit to the working classes , and that the best way to repeal , not only the Corn Laws , but every other bad law , is to give the people the power by granting the suffrage .
PLYMOUTH . —At a ^ enoral meeting Chartists of the three towns , Mr . Rogers in the chair , held ! on Tuesday evening , May 4 th , the following resolution , moved by Mr . Blight , seconded by Mr . Lockwood , was carried unanimously : — " That we , the Chartists of Plymouth , Devon port , and Stonehou , h :-il with heartfelt joy , the sincere , manly , and patriotic letter of Henry Vincent , which appeared in last week ' s Star , in exculpation of his name being attached to the 'secret movo' circular , and deem it highly satisfactory wi ; . h regard to his intent of sowing dissension in the Radical ranks ; but viewing tho very different conduct of William Lovett , as evinced in his puerile , half-whiggish letter , in answer to the Trowbridge Councillors , published in tho Sun . We still adhere to our former resolution , that every real Chartist will treat such attempt at division with contempt , and do therefore fervently hope that Henry Vincent will speedily follow up his noble
letter by a withdrawal of his name from w « h c > r-• ular , and thus again restore that haraoay and confidence so necessary betwixt the people and their leaders which has unfortunately been shaken . " HUDDEREFIEJLD . —The Chartists here have unanimously adopted the following resolutions : — 1 st . "That we the Chartists of Hviddersfield , in public meeting assembled , do view with surprise and indignation , the base lying paragraph iu the 'Great Liar' of the North , and hia coadjutor the ' Little Liar , that wo are dwindled into Corn Law Repealers . If they wish to know if we be so , let them call a public meeting , and from experience heat wisdom . " 2 nd . " That our mist cordial thanks be given to Mr . L . Pitkethly , for his spirited and prompt attention to the call of the Nottingham Chartists to attend the election of Mr . Walters , and giving his powerful assistance , not to the man , but to the' principle , ' to the annihilation of the' baBeand bloody' bastile crew . "
IftlSBXiETOtf . —A lecture was delivered in the Reformers' Chapel , top of Barrowfields , on Saturday the 24 th April , to a respectable but not a numerous audience , which gave general satisfaction . —The silk trade has been dull for a few weeks , but has revived again with the last week , and some of the masters have let out a number of new fancy reeds . But cotton is very dull at present , especially nankeens , — they are not employed above half their time . BUTTON , nkar Keighlky . —The inhabitants of
this village , with their usual spirit , while procuring signaturej to the National Petition , collected 10 s ., one half of which they agreed to sent to Mrs . Frost , and tho other half to the support of the Petition Convention . Fovv places have suffered so severely , through the distresses of tho times , as this small village , nearly tho whole of the inhabitants beii > g wool-conibors and hand-loom weavers ; yet such is the good organisation amongst them , that many places , tea times us large , do not raise an equal quantity of money in support of the Chartist caute .
BLACKQUAURV . —At a public meeting of th « inhabitants ot this place , held here on the 30 th ult ., after a pithy address on Chartism from Mr . John Gardner , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That we , tho Chartists of the North West District of Glasgow , belonging to the Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage Association , take this opportunity of expressing our full and entire confidence in Fcargus O'Counor , and other Chartists of England , who have stood by the National Charter Association , and vyo denounce the conduct of Messrs . Lovett , Coliins , and others , for endeavouring to cause dissensions amongtf , the friends of the people . "
iMarylebone and Paddington . —At a meeting holden here on Wednesday , the following resolutions were adopted : — " Thai this mooting hail with delight the present opportunity offered of exeriing themselves in the great national struggle of the working classes for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , acd all Political Victim ? , and pledge themselves to labour incessantly in connection with the present Convention for their liberation . " " That we the members of the National Charter Association , residing ia the parish of St . Marylebone
and Paddington , view with indignation and regret the attempt made to cause dissension in the Charist ranks , and fully pledge ourselves to abide by the advice as # iven by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . " " That a memorial be forwarded to the Marquis of Normauby for the liberation of James Bronterre O'Brien from Lancaster Gaol . " Messrs . Smart , Skevington , Ridley , Martin , Savage , Christopher , Scott , Hartwell , and G . Lovett , spoko to the resolutions . Three cheers being given for Feargus O'Connor , the Star , and the ImprieonedChartists , the meeting separated .

The Queen v . Waldegrave and another . —This case having been called on , Lord Waldegvave and Captain Duff stood up on the floor of the court , when the proper officer proceeded to read the indictment , and afterwards a number of affidavits ia aggravation . The facts of the case are already too familiar to the public to require to bo repeated here . —A number of affidavits W 6 re then handed in by the counsel for the prisoners , in mitigation of punishment , which were also read to the court . That of the Earl Waldegrave pleaded having been under the influence of wine at the time of the occurrence , and entered into a long detail of all the circumstances , for tho purpose of showing that the prosecutor had provoked the affray in whioh
he had sustained such serious injuries , aud denied having been actuated by any hostile feeling to the prosecutor , at the time of im occurrence . He also stated , that , in his & reat respect for the law , he had withdrawn his plea of not guilty ; and ateo his belief , that , had he stood hia trial , the prosecutor would have had great difficulty in proving his identity . The affidavit of Capt . Duff was to a similar effect . A certificate was read from certain eminent surgeons , stating that they had examined the prosecutor , and that , although he had not yet recovered from the effects of tho assault committed on him in June last , yet that a fevr months more would restore him to health . It also appeared , that the prosecutor , for some time past , had been on duty of an easy kind , at the station-house . Mr . Chambers rose to vrav
judgment on the prisoners ; and , m doing so , went into a renewed detail of the facts of the case . He said , the offence of the prisoners was serious at first ; but , from the melancholy effects produced it appeared to be more serious still . The prosecutors , who were the commissioners of the metropolitan police , had felt themselves compelled to trace out the offenders , and bring them to justice . These gentlemen had a most onerous and important duty to perform . They had a great number of men under their charge , whom they were bosnd to protect in the discharge of their duty . Sir Frederick Pollock theu addressed the court on behalf of Captain Duff ; and
Mr , Thesiger and Mr . Stuart Wortley for Lord Waldegrave . After a short consultation between the Judges , Mr . Justice Patteson delivered judgment ; and , after dwelling at considerable length on the enormity of the offence committed , said that the court having taken into consideration all the circumstances of the case , tho sentence was , that each of the defendants be confined iu the custody of the marshal of the Queen ' s Bench prison , for the space of six calendar months ; that Lord Waldegrave pay a fine of £ 200 , and Mr . Duff , £ 20 . The defendants were then removed , in custody of the officers of the court . _ ^^^^^ ni hit _ i _ jiji _ rL Jij-L'J ~ . J * i «~

dispateh of returning by post ; it clearly showed all was not right I am heartily sorry that such men should bave fallen out of the ranks to join that apostate Dan O'Connell and several of his crew . 1 After I saw his opinion upon the " movement , " I condemned it directly .
