      — IM THE FIKST BID OF THE AUCTION . Tee next besl thing to the obtaining of a victory fe the known * bew to make a right nae of it . The Vfcigi have beea taught by this election that they tie powerless as a faction ; that their only hope and pep is in the people . But they are deep dogs . They well know how to make the beat of their defeat ; aid if the people be not earefnl to exact the foil benefit of their adrantagsoas poaticn , they wffl fjjmredly be robbed of b © much of it as Whig treachery isd finesse can filch from them . Lei no man look for generosity or even honesty from the Whigs .

      They are essentiall y trad era ; imbued with the yery B& of bargaining and trickery ; always anxious to regain power , and suable so to do without the people , they wOl now seek to cheapen , and banter with those against whom they feeld dosed the door of the Market-plaee as long as jhey could . The "finality" doctrine , falling short of their own mark , will now be , of coarse , abandoned , and a Suffrage bid will be forthwith ¦ ade for popular support . The " liouse-holi gods " wQl again give forth their influence , and the Balioi-iBongCTs bellow out &e praises of their B > er »

      ckandise . Indeed , the game is began already . At Huddersneld , an Association iB now forming , having Household Suffrage and the Ballot for its objects ; and there is no doobt that the example will be followed through the whole country , if the people do not put an extinguisher upon the movement in Ub infancy . And U 113 , -we tell them , will he done . We tell them that the time for trimming and cajolery has gone by ; that the people will mock entry pretension to liberality , short ot the full measure of universal right . The people must do it , or ihey are traitors to themselves . And we know they

      will do itj their noble stand against the clap-trap ery of cheap bread , raised at so picked a time , gives ss foil eonSdeace . If the oily tongue and hollow heart failed to accomplish its deceitful purpose , baring all the specious aid of poverty and hanger , we hare no fear of any minor effort being more successful . The people have been too often bit to place themselves again within the reach of the biters . Thtir colours are nailed to the mast htad—the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing

      less than the Charter . Th « mountain may come to Mohammed as soon as it pleases , for not one inch will Mohammed budge towards the mountain . They pay writhe and mouth , and kick , for a time , against the pricks , bat finding the people ' s stem resolution taken and immovable , they will be fain enough to give the fixed price for a new lease of Downingstreet , and again take office as the servants of the people—ardent , zealous , and honest , this time , because compelled to be bo .

      How odd to see such a note of preparation at the bead of an article in the organ of the unrepresented ; fcui so it is—register—register—register . Let every Qjartist who can afford to pay all taxes , on the 20 th of July , preparatory to having his name placed ajBOBg the list of voters do so : and for this reason ; eat Chartist vote has now become worth fifty of

      either Whig or Tories . It is no harm to have a thing , even if one should ' nt ase it ; so Register , and is time we fihall point out all the legal , unconstitutional , bothering , puzzling , acts to be performed fcefow the day of Registration . We are near something . Let us be as well prepared as we can . See at Gateshead we lost an efficient representative , by sot haviag two electors honest enough to propose and second Masos . Let this not happen again ; bo

      Register ! The 29 th of July is the last day for Bending in eouaty claims ; and for £ 10 voters paying poor-raUs and assessed taxes is boroughs . Csfsty Electors who are not already registered for the same property , or who have changed their places of abode since last July , must , on or before the 20 ih of July instant , send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated their elaims to vote , which must contain a description of their places of residence , the nature of qualification , and Us situation , or the tenant ' s name ; and they siust send with each claim a shilling . Bosough Electobs who lire iu £ 10 houses will

      lose their votes unless they pay , on or before the 20 tb of July instant , all poor-rates and window taxes due prior to the 6 th of April last , " whether demanded " by the collector " or not .

      Good Nbws ro& Shkfpixld . —Mr . O'Connor having received numerous complaints of the ruminsertim of correspondence Jrom Sheffield ( which never arrived * i the office J and being most ' - anxious to make the Star as beneficial an organ , as possible for the whole of the working classes , has appointed Mr . George Julian Homey correspondent ftr Sheffield and surrounding districts . All person * who may have communications for the Star , from Mr . H ?* district , mil , upon his instalment , transmit the mm to him for arrangment . Mr . Hartley being , at present , under an engagement , as West Riding Lecturer , respectfull y requests that the delegates and managers of his mission , will

      be good enough to call a meeting at as early a time as is perfectl y tonvenient to themselves , for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not some other person can be substituted for him during the last month of his time . Mr . H . feels as he will be still in a part of the West Riding which requires his services , thai a double service at the same expewe to the Riding may be thus performed ; but should the delegates even express a desire for the fulfilment of his entire time , he will most cheerfully obey . Mr . H . also begs to say that he will bectme district agent for the Star , and will establish a plan of serving at their own hornet , those \ perton * who have new to come a great

      distance , and at great inconvenience . Mr . H . will still lecture tn his district , and as far as Barnsley , Chesterfield , Rotherham , and so forth ; and will , as far as is consistent with his duty to his office , be ever ready to obey the calls of those who think that his presence may be serviceable to ihe good cause . As soon as Mr . Harney is settled ; { and he requests his friends to be on the look out for a suitable residence J he tdll give due notice of his address and arrangements . Mxkthtb Tydvil . —Mr . O'Connor leVl cheerfully accept the invitation of his Welsh friends as soon as possible after his liberation ; but he is resolved that his next tour shall be

      one of vroBX—nct of mere " usels ; s display ; and has , therefore , resolved not to incur the fatigue and heavy expence of travelling , without further remuneration than the grett pleasure of being tcearied . He xdll not accept of an invitation from any town or pi act until the people therein ere prepared to present him with petition sheets , for the Charter , and Restoration of Frost Williams and Jones , signed according t » a scale of census to be hereafter laid down . Suppose 10 , 000 for Merlhyr Tydvil . Then Ifr . O'Connor an relieve each locality of all the

      expence of postage and transmission of petitions ; and can have the whole petition arranged for the meeting of Parliament ; where Ihis cannot be accomplished , Mr . O'Connor's presence will not be required , as Chartism will not have found itself to be in a sound state ; and his visits would be too short for immediate practical use for the purpose of initiation . The same answer applies to Hyde , and scores of places to which he has been invited . 3 . W . a— "O'Connor ' * Release" shall appear in a week er two .

      T .

      S \ i VLuTZRItAXTD . —Lectdbe on Teetotalism . —On Monday evening last , Mr . George Binns delivered an able and eloquent address in the Arcade Room , on ( be subject of Teetotalism . This lecture was delivered in compliance with a special invitation from the Committee of the Total Abstinence Society , and when it is remembered that this Committee , or a part of them , refused the use of the room for a tea to Messrs . Williams and Binns , on their liberation from prison , the fact of their inviting Mr .

      Binns now is a strong proof that a more liberal and rational spirit pervades the members of it . It also shewa that Chartists and Chartism are differently estimated now . The room was crowded , and the enthusiastic manner in which Mr . Binns was received , the cheers throughout his address and at its close , proved that the audience appreciated his services . It . was announced , at the close of Mr . Binns ' s address , that in compliance with a similar invitation , Mr . Williams would deliver an address in the same place , next Monday evening .

      XTTJDDZJHSFIXIXiD . —Magistrates' Office , Satitbdat , Jci . t io . —Mr . Copstock , cabinet-maker , teetotaller , and anti-Corn Law repealer was charged ¦ wi th having broken the windows of Mr . Turner , currier , by throwing stones on Tuesday , the 21 st of Jane , when the county candidates were about to address the people , who had peaceably assembled to hear them , when the base and brutal Whigs made the bloody attempt to ride them down without the least provocation . The case was defended by Mr . Clay , whose great abilities were unable to shake the evidence of the witness , who swore to having teen the stone thrown by the prisoner break the square . Although many moTe were broken , the Magistrates fined him 4 s . Would this have been the case had they proved it against the Cb artists !

      BABVSLE 7 . —On Thursday sight , or early on . Friday morning last , a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs . Young and Co . which was fortunately got under without much damage having beta doue . Prompt assistance was rendered by every one present to stop the ravages of the fire , and among the most conspicuous in working the engine was the Rev . Mr . Cooke , Catholic priest . SSMILWOBTH . —According to notice , a meeting of rate payers was called # n the 10 th of Jnne , to take into consideration the laying of a rate of 2 jd . in the pound , the Rev . C . Quartsey in the chair , who stated the reasons for the rate being levied . Among the items was the sum of £ 32 which had been paid by the Churohwardens ; this it was contended would render the rate illegal , and upon this ground , an amendment was moved to adjourn for six months . The Reverend Chairman not thinking of opposition , was bo disconcerted as to

      be unable to carry on the meeting ; after a few words from one of his friends he declared the meeting was over but the rate would be levied . The antirate party issued placards exhorting the rate-payers not to pay an illegal rate . This caused another notice t o be affixed to the church door , calling Mother meeting for the 24 th June , when the Rev . H . M . Villiers , -ricar , took the chair . The churchwardens proposed and seconded that a rat © of 2 £ d . in the pound be granted . An amendment was proposed for a rate of jd . in the pound which the Rev . chairman refused to put . This brought forth another amendment , namely , that the meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . The Rev . chairman said he would put no motion which had for its object the defeat of the rate . Great excitement prevailed ; the original motion was then put and lost b y a great majority . A poll was demanded and fixed for Friday and Satnrday 25 th and 2 tith , from eight to four o ' clock each day . and at the close the rate was earned by 3 29 to 129 .

      GLASGOW . —Testimonial . —It will be recolleoted by our readers that we noticed some time ago the laudable and unwearied exertions of Mr . James M'Birnie to induce the civil authorities to institute an investigation into the weights and measures used by the shopkeepers in this district . He was successful ; the weights of almost every shopkeeper were found deficient , and of course they were fined accordingly . Gl&tsful for the benefit he had thus rendered the community , a number of the inhabitants met on

      Wednesday evening week , in Scott ' s Coffee House , Mr . Robertson in the chair , when an elegant watch and appendages , value twelve guineas , were presented to him , by Mr . John M'Nab . The watch bore the following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . James M'Birnie , by the inhabitants of Cowcaddens , as a token of their esteem , for his perseverance in procuring an inspection of weights and measures . " Appropriate and patriotic addresses were delivered , and the evening was spent with that sociality which such an occasion was calculated to inspire .

      Salford Hurdbed Quarter Sessions . ' -The Ashtom Rioters . —The twenty-six men indicted for rioting and destroying houses during the election at Ashton-under-Lyne , and whose names are , James Broster , Richard Adcroft , John Court , James Hallworth , Joseph Carter , William Marsland , Jacob Lockett , John Howard , Wi lliam Harris , Joseph Bratt , William Shelmerdine . John Royle , James Oaks , Benjamin Roberts , John Briggs , John Clarke , James Price , Job Tankard , John Cookson , Charles

      Sutton , Thomas JenkinsoD , Richard Joule , John Clare , James Boulton , and John Stockton , were brought up on Saturday ; and Dr . Brown , who appeared on the part of the prosecution , stated , that , as this Court had not the power to inflict that punishment on the prisoners , if they were found guilty , which ths law provided , they would be tried at tho assizes . To this the prisoners maie no objection ; and they were then informed by the Chairman , that they would be tried at the ensuing assizes . They were then removed from the dock .

      Ikqpisitobial Mode of Administering Injustice . —A superintendent of the police force , named Castle , stationed at Wolverhampton , was brought before two of the Magistrates for that borough , on Tuesday , the 6 th instant , upon the charge of attempting to commit a rape upon the body of his servant , a girl of fifteen yeara of age , named Warner . This very excellent sample of the corps , it seems , by the statement of the Staffordshire Examiner , went down stairs early on Sunday morning , &ad finding the girl engaged in cleaning the fire-place of a front room , forcibly carried her into a ba ck room , and took liberties with her person of a nature so disgusting that we cannot publish the particulars . The girl , immediately she was released , hastened home to

      her parents , who reside in Stafford-street , and made known the occurrence . On Monday morning , the indignant father applied for a warrant to apprehend Castle upon the charge , and asserts that he met with some reluctance in obtaining it , and that upon his requiring it should be placed in a constable ' s hands for execution , he was refused , and told thai the case must be heard in private . This , it appears , was done ; and the superintendent , who rested his defence upon the plea that he had merely bared the complainant ' s person in a sort of joke—that she had used paper for lighting fires which he wanted for another purpose , and that he had turned up her clothes to chastise her for it—was fined 40 s . and costs . The complainant , however , positively swore that he had exposed his own person in the liberties he took with her , and that they were of a very different nature to that alleged by Castle . It does not

      appear that he received the eastigation he deserved , or that he has been dismissed from his sitnation , as he ought to have been , if the facts -were as stated by the aggrieved parent . These private hearings or secret examinations savour too much of the inquisitorial tribnnals of the Continent ever to become palatable to the people of this country . If justice is really the thing meant , those who are to dispense it ought not to be ashamed of di ° pensing it in the face of the world . But if the object be to screen the guilty , and disgust every impartial person , then the proceedings of these Wolverhampton Magistrates were eminently adapted to the attainment of it . If this poor girl had been the child of one of these Solons , it is a question if the offence would have been so snugly disposed of , or the offender let off with impunity ; for what effect will a nominal fine of 40 s . have upon him ?

      Strasge if Tnt'E . — At the haunted house at Cle-ner , near Windsor , the other day , an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross-buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that mysterious domicile . Nothing was seen , but very considerable inconvenience was felt , by the venerable gentleman . Outrage at Waterford—Eleven Persons Shot . —On Thursday evening , about nine o ' clock , a crowd of children assembled in the Manor , and were shouting , " Down with the Tories , " " Wyse and Barron for ever , " with several exclamations of a like nature , when a monster , named Morgan , ¦ who resides in Henry-street , opened his door , and deliberately fired a pistol , loaded with balls or slugs , on the young and

      innocent creatures ; he then reloaded and fired agaiu , and then Bhut his door , and fired a third shot from his window . He succeeded in his deadly purpose . Will it be credited , he wounded eleven defenceless children , three of whom arenot expected to recover . ' Some boys , indignant at this horrid and brutal outrage , assailed the residence of this wretched and blood-stained man , and broke the windows in front of his house , but they were stopped by a few discreet neighbours . The police conducted the prisoner in perfect safety to the Mayor ' s office . The following named wounded persons ( all being under the age of eighteen ) Bat at the side bar : —Johanna Henneberry , Alice Foley , Mary Doyle , Alice Keating , Michael

      Kelly , and Martin Magrath . Some of the other persons wounded were sent to the Leper Hospital , and others are in eo dangerous a situation that they cannot be removed . Among the latter are a son of Mr . Thomas Torpey , a little girl named Mountain , and a boy named Quilty . About half-past ten the prisoner Morgan was brought forward , when the Mayor re&d the information of some of the wounded people , charging the prisoner with haviDg fired two pistol shots . The Mayor said he should commit the pr isoner , and would not take bail . Since writing the above , we have heard that the child named Mountain has died of her wounds . Morgan is fully committed . —Abridged from the Waterford Chronicle .

      Capture op a Whale . —A Email whale , of the finner species that frequent the Atlantic , and usually follow the herrings in their migrations , was caught at the stake-nets of Mr Scott , sear the conflux of the Pow Burn , on the afternoon of Thursday . The perBon in charge of the nets , an old man of the name of William Graham , while standing at the door of his hut , about two o ' clock , then high tide , observed an object of considerable size rolling about the stakes , within a few yards of the shore , and blowing up streams of water as if from a jet d ' eau . Without any one to assist—for he was alone at the time—the courageous fisherman hastened to the spot , aid , with no other implements than a pocket

      gully , and a rope which he brought with him , rushed in , middle deep , to the attack . The dorsal fin of the huge animal alone was seen as he approached , the water being more than sufficient to cover its entire body , though somewhat shallower further out . The fish , in so way entangled with the nets , must have been sick , otherwise it might easil y have escaped . Graham , however , ran great risk in attempting to capture it . With the utmost caution and activity he succeeded in making an incision in its tail with his knife , and in attaching the rope to it by a running-hitch ; but be had no Booner accomplished this than the ponderous animal { gave symptoms of uudimiaiahed

      Untitled Article

      rigour . Throwing itself op in a perpendicular position , it floatuuiei tot some time to kali the water about with its tail in a fearful manner , and made several efforts to regain the deep ; but the " gallant Graham , " holding on by the rope , contrived to counteract its motions . After a desperate contest , during which he had the address to inflict numerous wounds about the neck and jaws of his formidable opponent , dyeing the water around with its Wood , ths conflict was observed by two persons in a boat , who happened to be oat shooting at a short distance . Rowing to the aid of Graham , the fish , by their united prowess , was at length , and with much difficulty , drawn hieh and dry on the sands . The

      Btruggle , however , was not yet concluded , for i t continued to exert itself with such fury that the rope by which the captors had it moored to a stake driven into the Band was snapped in two like a piece of whipcord . The party then fired a bullet into its head , and after the mflotion of sundry blows the protracted conflict waB brought to » close by the death of the fish about eight o ' clock . As thecarcs . Be was allowed to lie on the beach till Saturday afternoon , a number of people from the neighbourhood had an opportunity of gratifying their curiosity by a sight of it . It measured in length upwards of 14 feet , in girth between seven and eight feet , and might weigh about a ton and a half . —Ayr Paper .

The members connected with the Ball committee afterward * assembled and transacted their business . St . Panceas The usual weekly meeting of the members here , was held on Monday evening last , at the Feathers , Warren-street , Tottenham Court Road , Mr . Goodfellow in the chair . Several sew members were enrolled , and after the usual business bad neon gone through , the meeting separated .

      Middlesex County Council . —This b « dy is about being dissolved , for the purpose of being re-conatituted . Next Sunday will be the last day of acting on their present plan . From the extent of London , it is requisite there should be a central body meeting , so as to take advantage of every movement , and it is to be boped that , by aa efficient County Council being chosen , the apathy of London will be shaken off . Borough of Martlebone Election Commit-TEE . —This b * 4 y met on Monday evening last , Mr . Laurie in the Chair . Mr . Wall in a most masterly style , explained the clauses in the Reform Act , which give so much power into the people ' s hands , if they were brought into play . The Finance Committee brought up their report , from which it appears , the total amount subscribed towards the late election for Marylebone Is £ 21 11 5 f Expended ... 19 14 10

      Balance in hand £ 1 U 7 $ to cover debts to the amount of nearly £ 6 . Further claims to be rated for the purposes of the Reform Act , were banded in , and after a long discussion between the members the meeting separated . The Members and friends of this body will sup together on an earl ; occasion . ADDRESS OF THE MEN OF MARTLEBONE AND PANCRAS TO THE FRIENDS OF THE CHARTER . Brothers , —We have had , a 3 you are aware , a long fight with oar enemies tbeTVhigs and Tories , and though uasuccessful , we feel confident that our conduct has met with the approval of all friends .

      A base and dastardly triek having been played upon the people of the borough of Marylebone , we ctnslderod it necessary to vindicate our character by placing Mr . VilHers Sankey in the field . We did do so , and we were beaten , and our strength appears to be small , but vrby ? through the treachery of those electors who , after promising for us , voted against us . Tbe election has , of course , involved us to a small extent , and we ask ot you , Brothers and Friends , to assist us , so that no burthen ¦ will be thrown on the shoulders of our late respected Candidate ,

      We are , yours in union , Thomas Wiii , Thomas Smith , w « . Beck , John Humphreys , James Henwood , Robert Marley , H . B . Mariey , James Fearn , R . A . Goodfellow , Marylebone . —Present Struggles and want of Confidence . —We have , notwithstanding all that the Whig press may state to the contrary , and they have lied enormously of late , no confidence whatever in the present representatives (?) of this borough . ( Sir

      Benj . Hall and Sir Chas . Napier , two knightly state paupers , who glory in Malthusian Whig principles , and advocate free trade (?)) It is true they have been returned by a large majority ; a majority which has left those aristocratic Conservatives , Cabbell and Hamilton ( who have spent thousands ) and our own more than ever prized Sankey in the larch ; but still we have no confidence in them ; they may do yery well for , and doubtless serve , those Malthusians well who have elected them , nay , mere , they may possess the confidence ot a few frequenters of the pothouses , whose lore for fumes and intoxicating beverages so mantle their clear reason , as to prevent them from judging for themselves ; but the ; never can , and what is more , never will , possess the confidence of the enlightened

      portion of either Whig , Tory , or Chartist in Marylebone . I have noticed this at Beveral of their election meetings , Napier ' s especially , ( whose first meeting had well nigh created a riot . ) I have traced it front the saicon to the tap-room , aye , even to the hustings , where the " no confidence" expressions were most manifest . I have seen Naples , the Idol ot pot-aud-pipe-men , rave like an idiot at the manifest confidence in him . I have seen thousands wave him off the hustings ( in Portland Place ) without an hearing ; I have heard their exclamations , their groans , their aootings and hissing ; and I have said to myself , by whom is he esteemed , and by whom considered , * ' a fit and proper person" to represent so important a borough as Marylebone ? and common sense replies—merely hit pot-house friends and

      electors . This want of confidence increases our political struggles in this quarter , » nd makes our cause progress rapidly ; as & first step , it induced our leading friends to brine out our hitherto retiring , bat able and unwearied advocate , Stephen Villiers Sankey , who , though below all the other candidates in point of votes , studs confessedly highest in public estimation , aa the attention , applause , and shew of hands , proves . Hurrah for Villiers Sankey , the only truly elected representative of the industrious classes , and the respected even of the Whjgs and Tories ! On the evening of his ever-to-be-rementbered nomination , the glorious 30 th of June , we bad two splendid Chartist election

      meetings , in aid of sending him to the poll on the succeeding day ; one at the Working Men ' s Hall , Circus-street , New Road , at eight o ' clock , and the otherat the Black Horse , Rathbone Place , at ten . That in the Hall was crowded to excess , and when the people ' s candidate appeared , the cheers were truly deafening- A resolution was moved by Mr . Wall , ( Wall , to whom the ChaitiBta are indebted for the rise of Chartism , in a united form , in St Pancras ) that though there were several candidates contending for the representation of MaryleboBe , Mr . Sunkey was the only man that possessed the confidence of the people ; when it was pot to the meeting , 698 bands ( out ot the 700—

      the most tbe hall on bold ) was held up for it , and on the contrary being taken , then were two ! Is this not proof that Sankey ia elected f Three tremendous cheers and one cheer more were then given by tbe meeting in token of their approbatioa , amidst which tbe noble Republican retired . ? like compliment wa » also paid to the " caged lion , " and owt beloved exiles across the Water , Frost . Williams , and Jones , God Mess them ! and that glorious creed the Charter , after which the meeting dispersed , inwardly cursing Napier , tc and their crew , and declaring that Sankey wm the only man that possessed their confidence . Now what will be the result of this decision ? A portion of tbe electors of this great metropolis ( which coutolns nearly double the number of inhabitants of Manchester , have placed Hall

      at the head of the poll ( Napier being second ) , but the people declare Mr . Sankey to be their representative , duly elected , and having their confidence ,- and they consider Hall and Napier as two unbargained for servants without characters , who have usurped places in the people ' s own House , to the exclusion of their ( the people ' s ) own accredited representative . However , we have got our member ( and a Right Honourable member he is ) , and the electors ( ot at least a portion of them ) have got theirs ; urs , who ia possessed of the confidence of the thousands , is excluded from our own House I because his constituents & * e lodgers , ( and it is fell known that lodgers are oftimes more enlightened

      than those who claim the house , and , in general , pay the rent and taxes !); theirs , possessed of no real confidence whatever , are admitted , because they are sent in by persons who live in the bottom of a b-o-n-s-e , " free gratis for nothing ; oars is the advocate of the interests of all ; theirs of a class only . Sankey , whom the enthusiasts have rejected ; we will reserve him for ourselves : he is a man of whom we may well be proud , and who , if I mistake not , can be of nearly as much service to the people out of the House as IN it As Tom Attwood once said of himself , he is undoubtedly possessed of great talents , posseses great influence , and enjoys the confidence of the ' ¦ good and true" of all classes .

      BIRMINGHAM . ANOTHER DEFEAT OP THE "PLAQUE . " The Liberals" of Birmingham have made another attempt to gull the natives , and finding that Douglas , Edmonds , and Co . were completely laid on the shelf , they sent for Mr , Murray , of Manchester , to prop up their falling fortune . Large bills were posted , announcing two lectures by the above-named individual , on tbe injustice of the bread tax , to take place at the Publicoffice , on Tuesday and Wednesday evening , at eight o'clock . At half-past « ev « n , on Tuesday evening , the Pablicoffice was crowded to suffocation , and the various rooms adjoining completely filled .

      Mr . Murray attempted to commence his lecture , but was Interrupted with cries of " adjuarn , " " we're nearly stifled , " " Stephenson-square , " "Oxford-road , " &c At length it was moved and seconded that Mr . Benjamin Hill , a ataaightftrward Chartist , should take tbe chair . This was carried unanimously amid loud cheers . Mr . Murray demurred . He said he had not been used to such scenes as that which he then witnessed . ( Shouts of "Perhaps not ; we ' re wide awake here . We'll have none of your Manchester doings here , " Ac ) Finding it was no use to object to the apppointment of a chairman , he then stated his wish that the meeting should ba adjourned . A show of hands was taken on the subject , when it was decided that the business should proceed . Mr . Hill then addressed the meeting , and declared his determination to procure a fair hearing for oil parties who thought proper to address them .

      Mr . Murray endeavoured to procure a hearing , but such was the crowded state of the place that it was nine o ' clock before the Chairman ( who exerted himself with all bis might ) could procure him a hearing . He at length proceeded with the usual statements of the anti-Corn Law advocates , interrupted with shouts of " When we get the Charter we'll repeal all bad laws , " " We have heard all you said a hundred times over . " Mr . Murray declared himself no Whig . He was no bit-by-bit reformer . He was tot the people getting their rights , but he would take what he could get After a drawling and ineffective address , the lecturer concluded by informing the meeting that as be would have other opportunities of addressing them he should conclude and reserve to himself the right of answering any person that thought proper to oppose his views .

      The Chairman requested tbe meeting to keep order , so that an arrangement should be made as to tbe time that each speaker should be allowed to occupy . He thought that as it was rather late ten minutes would be sufficient He then put it to tbe meeting . It was unanimously agreed to . Mr . John Collins then addressed them . He said that one of the statements put forth by the lecturer seemed to him rither strange . He had told them that he was no bit by bit reformer , and yet he was an advocate for a bit . As to the question of the Corn Laws , he agreed with the lecturer that they were unjust ; in fact , the people bad found that out twenty-five years since , and had been letting the country bear of it time after time . But the parties who were now crying out foi their repeal neTer said a word about them until they began to suffer themselves . The working classes hod

      been so used to suffering , that their skins were now middling thick , and he , for one , would allow the manufacturers to have a taste of what the working classes had previously suffered . He would not help them unless they consented to help the people to get the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) It was well known that the manufacturers had the power of applying all the benefits that might arise from a repeal of the Corn Laws to their advantage . He therefore would not trouble himself about the C « rn Law question , until they gave him a guarantee in the shape of a vote , which would insure him a Bhare of the benefits to be derived from a repeal of the Corn Law& There were also other bad laws that ought to be repealed , and if they were to agitate first for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and of ter-• wards for a repeal of tbe New Poor Law , and s » on , ha thought that looked like bit by bit reform ; he therefore could not join it

      At the conclusion of Mr . Collins' address , tbe meeting commenced a general ebont of ' * White , White . " Mr . White , who stood in the prisoner ' s dock , stated that he cou \ d not gain access to the platform . He was immediately lifted over the iron spikes , and landed comfortably on the magistrate ' s table , amid loud and repeated cheers . He said that tbe lecture of Mr . Murray was made up of the usual statements put foiw&xdby the advocates of Corn Law repeal , iu fact , such was the flimsiness of the argument used by Mr . Murray , that a few minutes would suffice to overthrow them . But why trouble themselves with again going into the question ? Had they not held a meeting in the Town Hall a short time previous , and held a discussion for six hours and a half with some of the

      cleverest men in the country , before twelve thousand people , who , after patiently listening to both bIiU's of the question , had voted the corn , sugar , and timber question to be an insult to the Buffering millions ? He maintained that not only was the paltry measure an insult , but the bare fact of calling a meeting of working men , in order to appeal to their reason and judgment , and afterwards refusing them a vote , on the ground of ignorance , was a most outrageous insult to the working classes , and oa such ought to be resented . But what after all did the advocates of Corn Law repeal propose to do for the working classes ? They say they want to increase trade , and also to give the people cheap bread . Now his friend Murray would admit that the trade of this country had increased

      more than ten-fold within the last fifty years , and he would ask the meeting whether they were ten times better off ? ( " No , no , worse 11 ) Well , then , if an increase of trade had made the people worse off , what conld be thought of the anti-Corn Law doctrine ? The anti-Corn Law men told them that they conld not compete with foreigners ; but he maintained that tbe people of this country were not competing with them , but with some of the cleverest English mechanics , who bad left this country on account of the oppression under which they laboured . This fact had been admitted by the lecturer . Even admitting all the statements of the Corn Law repealers to be true , he would ask them whether it was just or reasonable that the mechanic in England should be

      compelled to work for the whole world , that he might be enabled to procure the mere necessaries of life for himself and family ? Hod Providence placed some particular curse on the labourers of England , that they should be compelled to waste their lives in the stink and smoke of factories for thirteen » r fourteen hours a day , in order to keep themselves alive , whilst foreigners were enjoying the sunshine ? < " No , no , " cheers . ) For his part , he wanted to see men well fed and clothed , without enduring so much misery ; sad if foreigners wanted manufactured goods , let them work for themselves . He maintained that the boasted commercial system of this country was a mass of fraud and reckless gambling , and that from it proceeded all the miseries and heart-burnings that afflicted society . He was for doing away with the whole system , instead of

      increasing its evils , which was the avowed object of the Corn Law repealers . He did not believe that working men were brought into this world to be the mere machines of other men—to create for them immense fortunes , whilst they who produced all were in tbe lowest depths of misery . He felt that be was a man , and would never be content with less than full and complete justice . ( Loud cheers . ) The lecturer had admitted that the principles of the People's Charter were just said true ; the men of England bad found that no man could controvert those principles . He therefore called on them never to eea&e their endeavours to obtain their establishment , and they could then repeal the Corn Laws , and all other laws that interfered wita the comforts and happiness of themselves and families . Mr . White retired amid repeated

      cheers . Mr . Murrat said a few words in reply . He bad not heard either Mr . White or Mr . Collins object to hia ¦ riews as to the evils of the Com LaWB , and should not interfere In their political opinions , although he vsta for getting what he could . The Chairman gave notice that the meeting was adjourned to tbe following evening , when it would be held at Duddeaton-row . Three hearty cheers were then given for tbe People ' s Charter , and the same with right good will for Feargus C'Conaor , after which the meeting separated .

      THE " JOB CHANCELLOR'S FAREWELL ? The injurious influence which was brought to bear against the Reform party during the late con- - test in this city , by theappointment of Baron Campbell , we never ceased to lament . We warned the Whigs of what their " job" would bring about ; but they persevered with their eves open , and now they must only bear the resuhs . Baron Campbell will , however , sit no more . He took his farewell of the profession on Monday . After giving judgment oh some unimportant cases * he stated , as reported : —

      " lhat the motions and short causes being now finished , the court stood adjourned . He took thai opportunity of stating that he found the practice in . Ireland much improved and shortened , particularly by the abolition of the six clerks , which example he considered the courts in England would do well to follow—that he still perceived matters in which , improvements could be introduced , and that ho knew it was the opinion of Lord Cottenham thai the pleadings in equity might be greatly shortened , for that at present the great expence incurred in proportion to the sums recovered was in many instances tantamount to a denial of justice , and the parties frequently submitted ( and wisely > to the original injury rather than seek redress by so expensive a process . This proceeded chit fly from the plaintiff , in his bill , telling his story iu hia own favour , which frequently turned out a thrice-told tale . This might be greatly

      shortened by the : parties merely putting forward their grievancesand their reasons for seeking redress , which in many oases might be done by petition , and an order of reference ac once made thereon . That , in the lawreforms which he had already introduced , be had the aid of the English bar freely given him % and in the contemplated changes he now had in . view , he had every reason to expect the like aid from the Irish bar ; but he mainly relied upon tha co-operation of that accomplished lawyer . Sir . Michael O'Loghleo , who decided with that happy aptitude for meeting the justice of the case eo desirable in an equitable judge . That he was quite aware , before he could carry these changes into tffect , h % might be reduced to the situation of a private person ; but that was no reason why he should nut COE » tinue his exertions for the public benefit ; and ha felt that he had , while holding this high situation , filled it well . " . "

      Now , Baron Campbell has Bat altogether iu th « Irish Court of Chancery about twenty hours . He retire ? , and on the death of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in Mb 87 th year , and the other upwards of 76—receives £ 4 , 000 a year pension , which , taking the average of human life , he will enjoy for thirty years . Twenty hours , we believe * contain some 1 , 200 minutes ; and £ 4 , 000 a year for thirty years will give £ 120 , 000—bo that it requires not to be very deeply read in Cocker to arrive at the conclusion that Biron Campbell will receive , for the term of his natural life , just One Hundred Pound * for every minute he . sat as our Lord Chancellor !—that is , at the rate of £ 6 , 000 per hour * And besidos this he had a Peerage 1 Lucky Baron Campbell , say we 1—Dublin Monitor . .

      things most important to the Chartists as » body , that men like O'Brien and Binug should be iu Parliament , I beg leave to ask , through the medium of the Star , what are the necessary steps to effect that purpose . Is it by aa eleotioa petition ! is a committee of the House of Commons the tribunal that must settle the matter ! if so * money wi ll be required , and it being a national question , I beg to suggest the propriety of the Executive of the National Chatter Association ordering a levy of one shilling per head on the whole of the members , and which I am sure , poor as the mass of members are , it would be readily responded to for such a purpose . This , backed by a subscription from Scotland , would , in my opinion , be sufficient to effect the purpose : ouly , if done , let it be done instantly .
