      MS . PATRICK CHIGGINS AND THE SLANDERER , O'CONNELL . The following letter from Mr . O'Higgira , to the Klhor of the Dublin Freeman , ia reply totfaeBavage growl of the " Liberator , " would hare been published is the Star some weeks ago ; but we accidentally lost the paper containing it which had been fcnrarded by an iriBh friend . u TO THS EDITOR » F THB FBBBHAX * Sib , —I did not expect , nor did any of ray friends expect , th&t after the persecution which I suffered at the hands of Mr . O'Connell and some of his followers in 1833 , an attempt would be now made to renew it . I did not expect that , at the end of eight years , so pioo 3 a gentleman as Mr . Q * Connall would pnt forth all Ms strength and all his power to destroy so poor

      and so humble an individual as I am ; on the contrary , there was not an . Easter passed over since , that I did not expect to receive some atonement from him for the grievous injuries which he had done me . It is well known tha ; many of my friends ¦ Hio hare , and ought to hare , influence with him , offered to wait upon him and show him that he was bound , a 3 a Christian , to do me an act of common justice , and some of those friends , respectable inha . bitani 3 of the town of Drogheda . They will bear testimony that my uniform answer wa 3 to leave him to himself , that he would come forward voluntarily after some Easter communion and m ^ ke re paration to me . I did lire in hope of seeing this , aad I do nos despair of it yet .

      " It is almost incredible that , after the lapse of so long a period as eight years last Janaary , Mr . O'Connell would come forward again and ? ay of me that which he has said at the meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , that 1 hate him . I stall give his own word 3 , as reported in the Freeman ' s Journal of this day . " ' The present person to whom I allude is O'Higsins , who is exceedingly angry with me , and I'll do lim the justice lossy that he is quite right in being so , for though exceedingly wrong as a Christian , he is perfectly justified as & man , inasmuch as I was at the head of a committee who expelled him for

      misconduct not very creditable to him as a man , as a Christian , or a gentleman . He has therefore a right to hate me , and the only thing I request he shall do is to try his Iritle talent in abasing me as long as he pleases . ' He says ' in addition , that , I rQify and traduce him . "I hope , Sir , that you with your n-aial love of iusiice , will give me an opportunity , through the Columns of the Freeman , to prove to all yonr impartial readers that I neither hate nor vilify Mr . CrConnelh that I never joined the Orangemen or any other body of men against him ,- that upon those points he has been misled , at any rate . 11 dements of

      I shall not now go into the merits or the proceedings of Mr . O'Connell and all his family against me in January , 1835 ; bnt I deny that there was any charge of any nature or kind brought against me upon that occasion . I de « y that a majorirv of the committee of the Irish Volunteers were against me . There were upwards of fifty-five member = on the committee , twenty-three of whom , and twenty-three only , signed Mr . O'Conneli ' s sentence against me . And who are those twenty-three ? Will * Mr . O'Connell inform the public upon what eronnds two of them became ab .-entees ? Will Mr . O'Connell be so good as to slate in detail the true grounds upon which he pronounced sentence upon me ! It is too bad to run away with a man ' s character in general term 3 . I give Mr . O'Connell

      Ml liberty to state the charges upon which he pronounced sentence upon roe , upon the condition that he states mine against hi 3 friend at the same time . The sentence was pronounced upon me because I brought certain charges against a member of the committee , which charges were nev ^ r refuted , nor attempted to be refuted in any other way than that of passing a censure upon me for bringing them for-- Mind that Mr . O'Connell says that I hate him , and that I ought to hate him , for causing me to be txpelled from the Volunteers . This censure of ex-, palsion , mind , bears date the ] 8 th January , 1833 . I was at that time extensively engaged in the wholesale Irish woollen trade , and had received an address , signed bv every respectable shopkeeper in Dublin ,

      reeoaimeEding me to the shopkeepers of Ireland as a ; man of the highest honour and integrity , not only in my dealing ? , but in all the relations of life . _ This ' address , and my answer to it , was published in the Morning Register , Freeman ' s Journal , and other papers . Although I found a great deal of uphill work in pushing this new trade to a state of profit , yet by skill and jndgment in the selection of stock , aad dint of perseverance , was realizing about ^ £ 40 l ) i a-yeir . Bat when Mr . O'ConnelTs attack on me ; became public , there was a run upon me like the run on a bank ; the banks refused to discount the bills I had drawn uwm my customers . My own bills , my j

      acceptances , were falling due ; besides this , bad debts to the amount of £ 500 were announced from Tuam ' and Galway on the same day . The refusal of the bank 3 to discount , the expulsion by Mr . O'Conneil } from a public b&dy , and bad debt ? , drove me into ! such a state of mind that I say now , before God and xny country , that , after hating put a docket of bills ; amounting to £ 1381 into my hat , to look out for . the- ' first time for private discounts , 1 found myself at the Boyal Exchange before I recollected what bronght ; me out , or where I-was going . I got the bills discounted , paid every body tweniy shillings in the ¦ poand , but lost my trade and business . _ ,. , I of November which

      •* Well , on the 10 : h following , was the day for collecting the O'Connell tribute , I j forgot the il-treatment I received . I conceived that j ilr . O'Connell was justly entitled to the tribute from j his country , no matter what he did to me , and j acting upon thi 3 feeling , I aided , as usual , in the j collection of it , and published letters in the Morning Register of November , 1833 , in favour of it , which i letters called forth the acknowledgments of Mr . P . ; Y . Fitzpatrick , who said that my individual exer- ; iions had helped to swell the tribute to an unpre- ; cedented amount . Does this look like hatred of ! O'Connell I Again , when I had the honour , and a ) high honour I shall always consider it , of having ! accompanied the great and good Mr . Cobbett on his

      lour through the south of Ireland in September and > October , 1834 , the people were collecting the O'Conneil tribute in the south ; and while Mr . Cobbett i and I were on a vim at the Bev . Mr . Costello ' s , the i parish priest of Abingdon , the tribute was collected , i and the Rev . Mr . Costello will bear testimony to the fact , that I not only collected the tribute at- his j chapel gate upon the occasion , but was the first to put my gold upon the great pewter dish which was : nsed for the purpose of receiving the money . Does ; this look like hatred of O'Connell ? u Oh 1 shame , where i 3 thy blush V I lost no opportunity of ex- j plaining to Mr . Cobbett the grounds upon which I considered Mr . O'Connell entitled , justly entitled , to ; the tribute from his country ; I mentioned to him j

      that m my opinion it excited the envy of the tyrants of Europe—tha ; it wa 3 a voluntary tribute for services rendered to a people who had no more effectual mode of testifying their gratitude . Mr . Cobbett , \ with his usual sense of justice , soon viewed the question in the same light ; and when the Times , of the 27 : 11 of October , 1834 , published an article \ stating tha ; the tribute was extorted from Ihc people by hired ruf £ au 3 , Mr . Cobbett refuted the ; calumny in a style and with a spirit that does honour ' to hrman nature . Tiiis letter is to jbe found in the Freeman ' s Journal of the 31 st of October , 1834 . It ¦ was written in my house , and with my most ^ hearty ; concurrence ; " When Mr . O'Connell stood as candidate for the

      city of Dublin , in ! 83 o , he was , on the third day of the election , so apprehensive of defea ; that I was nfriid he would resign , and at a meeting of his Committee in Sackville-street , Mr . Murphj , of Sxnhhheld , in ths chair , I mentioned the cause of his bebg a ; the foot of the poll , which was simply because those who veted had not been checked off , asd that therefore the exertions of the out agents were wasted in looking after electors already polled . A Commutes of twenty-four was appointed to rule the books ; I was Chairman of it , and sat rp a- ; l nigh ; in the Committee-rooms in Capel-street . The books -svere checked , the voters were brought up Eexiday , and at the dose of that day ' s poll Mr . O ^ Council was at the head of it , in « : ea $ J of the foot , wcere he was the day bsfore . Did this look like hatred of 0 ' Connell *

      own estimation , vote for him ; and upon these grounds , as well as many others which I shall not now mention , I did not vote for him at either the last election or the former one . Aad perhaps a day may yet come when he will be under the necessity of telling his countrymen that I was right . I was opposed to Mr . O'Connell in his attempt at conciliating the Orangemen , and sureiy this opposition cannot be construed into hatred . I have no hatred of O'Connell—I bear him neither malice , hatred , nor illwill . I do not approve of the policy which he has thought proper to pursue since 1835 ; and is it just , is it conduct becoming a Christian , to run me doprn , to destroy me , to pronounce civil excommunication upon me in the land of my birth , in the land of my forefathers , because , and only because , I remain upon the same political groundlupon which Mr . O'Connell left me .

      A word with the Her . Mr . M'Hugh , and I have done . Th «) Canadian declaration of independence , with which this Mr . M'Hugh finds so much fault , was published in the DubAn Evening Post , from which it was taken , and subsequently published as a hand-bill , and sold through the streets of Dublin . I looked upon it as an excellent document , was glad to see it coming from such an authentic source upon the subject of proclamations as that of tho Evening Post . I got the handbill printed , from a desire to sire to those who could not go to the expence of

      buying the Evening Post , the advantage of reading the only good article I saw in its columns since Catholic Eaiancipation . Having had a bundle of those handbills in the house , and being in the habit of going out to shoot on Saturdays , I and a gentleman who accompanied me , folded up some sandwiches in those placards . Some of the people in Portmarnock Eeeing us throw down those papers ; took them up and read them , them , and asked if we had any more of them . On the following Saturday we brought some more , and distributed them amongst the people .

      Some time in the month of December last , and not in April , we ( for there wero two of us in it ) wero encountered by a gentleman on horseback at Portmarnock , who questioned me in a very peremptory and authorative manner as to whether 1 was the person who was in the habit of distributing inflammatory papers amongst the people , exciting them to sedition , &c . tfec . I answered by saying that I never distributed a seditious paper ; that I had a character to sustain , and a little stake in the country , and teat 1 would not like to forfeit either ; to which ho replied , that if I had either I would not have acted the part of an incesdiary , as I had done . I then asked tho gentleman his name , and by what authority he took the liberty of assailing me in such terms ? He refused to tell mehis name , but said , ultimately , that he was the Catholic curate of Baldoyle and Kinsealy ; to

      which I replied , that if any word or expression had fallen from me which might be considered rude or impertinent , that no such expressions should have fallen from my Iip 3 had I known he was a priett . He acknowledged then that I had said nothing to offend him—that he only required me to promise that 1 would distribute no more papers amongst the people ; to which I replied that such apromise would imply that the papers were such as he described them | to be , and that I would make no such promise . H « : then got into a passion , and said that he would go 1 and lodge information against me ; to which I replied , that I would be very . sorry to hear that the Catholic curate of Baldoyle and Kinsealy had made

      a " Paddy M'Hugh" of himself . u I said nothing offensive to him but this , and I was sorry , very sorry , for having said it , when I learned that this respected clergyman ' s name was M'Hugh . There were several witnesses present at this conversation , to whom I have often spoken on the subject , and who recoDect it well . My reason for talking to them about it was that I hai learned that the Bev . Mr . M'Hugh had gone to the Attorney General to lay his informations against me , in the

      hope of having me prosecuted lor publishing the paper alluded to . " I am sorry , not for my own sake , bnt for my religion and my country , that any priest could be found in Ireland who would forget his sacred calling so far as to carry in his mind my trespassing , if trespassing it can be called , since December last ; and having failed in getting the Attorney-General ta prosecute me , now joins tne most powerful man of the age in his efforts to ruin and destroy me . " The ' hue and cry' has now been raised against me , and if I am not hunted down it will be little

      short of a rmrac . ' e . " In conclusion , I beg to state that I have never gone through the northern districts of the county Dablin for the purpose of distributing incendiary papers . I go out to shoot occasionally on Saturdays during the season , and the only papers I have taken with ma sinee December last were copies of the People ' s Charter , and the rules and objects of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , which I hope is not violating any law of God or man .

      BIRMXM 6 BASS . Chaetist Lectures . A crowded meeting was held on Sunday evening , to hear a lecture from Dr . M'Douall . The worthy lecturer entered into his subject with bis usual cleverness , and showed up the system in all its hideous deformity . The Doctor was warmly applauded , and a goodly number joined the Association at the conclusion of his excellent discourse . Monday Etexi . vg— A very numerous meeting was held at the Chartist-room , Freeman-street , on Monday evening , Mr . Corbett in the chair . The assembJy was addressed by Mr . George White at some length on the glorious progress which the cause of Chartism was making in Birmingham , and all over the country . He said that nothing pleased

      him more than the reports which had been delivered by the delegates from the various places in the neighbourhood of Birmingham . There could not be a better spirit displayed than took plaoe at the delegate meeting , especially by the statements of the Warwick and Kidderminster delegates . The former had proved that the Chartists of Warwick had the real principles at heart , for , although they held different views to the National Charter Association at first , yet when they found that the country were in favour of it , they determined to act with the majority . The delegate from Kidderminster had also made a similar statement , from which it would be seen that

      every town in tha district were determined to do their duty , and the splendid display which had been witnessed on the previous Monday settled the question in Birmingham , although the pastors of the Christian Chartist Church have done all in their power to stop it , thereby proving their narrowmindedness and want of principle , they had therefore sealed their doom , and from thenceforward could not be looked upon as the friends of the working classes . Mr . J . Campbell , secretary to the Executive , afterwards addressed the meeting in a Yery clever manner , and was loudly cheered . Upwards of 40 members were enrolled during the last week .

      Mr . Masox ' s Lectuhs . —Mr . Mason of Newcastle-upon-Tyne , has been busily engaged this week , addressing large audiences at Coventry . Foleshill , Nuneaton , and other places . He is greatly admired iu this district for his eloquence and energy . Freeman-Street . —A meeting was held at the Chartist room , Freeman-street , on VVednesday evening , Mr . Corbett iu tha chair . Mr . -George White again addressed them on the tyranny to which the working classes were subjected , after which a member of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association was introduced to the meeting .

      The Executive Council of the National Charter Association held their sittiugs in the large room of the New Inn , Bromsgrove-street , every day last we « k , and besides arranging the correspondence with the various towns , they drew up a circular , which was printed and dispatched to the snb-Secretaries throughout the country . They also drew up the form of the National Petition ( a very clever document ) which will be published next week . Mr . Campbell attended at the Ship Inn , Steelhouse-Iane , where sixty cards of the National Charter Association were taken , and a eociety formed . Societies will also be formed in other parts of the town ; so that it will be seen the cause is prospering rapidly in Birmingham , and to know the state of the district , it requires to be added that on Monday evening it was announced that 500 colliers had joined at Bilston this week .

      Frost , Williams , and Jones . The General Committee of Birmingham , in consequence of the soiree in honour of the Executive , held no meeting on the 21 st , but on Tuesday evening last they recommenced their usual weekly meetings , at the Charter Association Room , Freeman-street , Mr . Thorp in the chair , when the memorial not being complete , was referred to the sub-Committee , to report progress on Tuesday next . Several bills were discharged , and letters received from various placeB , all tending to show the prosperity of the Committee , and the high opinion in which it is held by all who are noted to be lovers of their species , and all

      nobleminded patriots throughout the country ; the Committee , therefore , conscious of this good opinion , and proud of the esteem and friendship of all true patriot ? , are desirous of adding to their list of honorary members ( which already embraces most of the influential Chartists in Britain ) all who will pledge themselves to act in their respective localities , in conjunction with the General Committee of Birmingham , to secure the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native land . By order of the Committee , T . H . Shaw and F . Wilkinson , jointsecretaries . Address for Committee , at present , at Mr . Guest ' s , Steelhouse-lane , Birmingham .

      NOTTINGHAM .-The Chartists held thoir usual weekly , meeting in the Democratic Chapel , Rice-¦ ^ ° h ° ? ¥° aday evening last ; new members again joined . Indeed the cause progresses hero at a steady rate . To-day at twelve o ' clock , the Queen Dowager went through , and en changing horses at Georgo the Fourth , an attempt , was made by a few manworshippew to raise a cheer ; but it was no go . The general remark was , among the people , that 50 , 000 widows had much better be comfortably supported at the expence of English industry , than one German pauper , because she had been the wife of a King . A reading clasB meets every Sunday morning , in the chapel , Rice-place , from tea till twelve © clock , for adults . Mr . William Russell , and Mr . Jonn Wright were unanimously appointed as delegates , by the friends meeting at the Democratic Chapel , and Mr . Wm . Parker , and Mr . William i-ietcner , from the George on Horseback , to the forthcoming delegate meeting .

Dean Taylor , Harrison , and Sweet addressed the meeting ; a collection was also made foT the O'Brien Press Fund , this party being got up expressly to honour that great political teacher .

      CBURWEZiL . —Mr . Smith , according to request , paid a visit to this place on Monday last , and preached in a school-room , most kindly granted for the occasion . Hta text was Acts , 28 , xxii , and in the course of his discourse , he shewed tho perfect accordance of the Charter with the rule of right , as laid down in the Word of God . The place was full , aud the deepest attention was paid to tho arguments of the preacher . BIRSTAL . —The good work in this plaoe goes on bravely . Mr . T . B . Smith , arrived here on Saturday , and lectured on the Charter , and the 1 benefits of co-operation , in the room over the co-operative store , to " a most attentive audience . On Sunday , he delivered three practical Christian sermons , in tho

      Zion Sunday school room , after which collections were made towards defraying the expence of the school , which ia considerably in debt , amounting to 18 3 . 5 a ., which was gratefully received by the managers and teachers . Mr . S . also delivered two short discourses to the children of tho school , and to which they appeared to pay the most marked attention , indeed the conduct of the scholars reflects the highest credit on their gratuitous instructors , and gives fair promise of future excellence . Mr . S . enforced in a feeling and eloquent manner the practicable importance of mutual love and good-will , and expressed himself highly gratified with the orderly behaviour of the children . The enrolment of twenty-one members of ths Natioual Charter Association , proves that his visit was not in vain .

      COVENTRY . —A tea and dancing party was got up ia honour of Dr . M'Douall , and Mr . Leach , of Manchester . Through some circumstance ) or other they did not come , and great disappointment was the consequenoe . Mr . R . K . Philp , of Bath , one of the Executive , and Mr . Mason , of Newcastle , lecturer for this district , made their appearance about four o'olock . The largo room of the George Inn . Little Park-street , where the association hold their meetings , was tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens . About half-past fiv « o ' clock upwards of eighty ladies and gentlemen sat down to a most excellent tea , as many as the room could accommodate at once ; the company retired , and a second party of more than forty was supplied tho same as the former part . Tea being over the chair was taken by Mr . David Buckney , ribbon manufacturer ; after a few appropriate remarks from the chairman , he introduced Mr . Mason , of Newcastle , who spoke upwards of an hour in an eloquent and masterly

      manner . DUNDEE . —A trial of strength betwixt the Chartists and both factions is about to take place here in tho election of Police Commissioners . The suffrage is household . The qualification required for a member to sit at the board is the holding of a house at the annual value of ten pounds . The police under tho present superintendent have given the most unqualified dissatisfaction to the great body of the people , acting in the mest severe And rigorous manner in almost every instance when they were called upon to interfere . If a Church party , an Anti-Coru Law party , or any other party of humbugs called a meeting where the face of a Chartist was forbidden to appear , the police were tho willlpfi tools of the olique , ready at all timeswith batou in hand ,

      , to show physical force opposition to his being admitted . But this is not the worst ; the " force" has acted in many instances as spies at Chartist meeting *; they have come in disguise , for no other purpose but that of carrying off such account of the proceedings as might have the effeot of bolstering up a charge of sedition against some of the speakers . This has been proved . One insignificant creature , who has been long connected with the establishment , and who acts as clerk in the office , has , in an unguarded moment , " let the cat escape from the bag , " and tho people will know how to value his services in future . But such doings will not be permitted to exist . The majesty of the people will show itself at these elections ( which take place on the 6 th October ) and put

      the real finale upon such treachery . Last year the Chartists came into the field at the eleventh hour ; however , they carried a number of their men . This year there is a strong and formidable union , in order to return a majority of commissioners to the board who will do their duty to the people , and protect the liberty of the subject . Our Whig and Tory papers are alarmed beyond measure—the respectability , forsooth , of the board is in danger . The people are , notwithstanding , steadily pursuing their course , leaving it to interested hirelings to talk about respectability . —As a great number of electors read the Star , who have no opportunity of seeing a local paper , we say , be ready for the da of Octoberevery householder has a voto .

      1 ONBON . —The Tailors held their weekly meeting , at the bricklayer ' s Arms , King-street , Golden Square , on Thursday evening , when Mr .

      SOTJTHWARK . —On Sunday evening last , a meeting of the Repeal / Association was held at Mr . Roche ' s , Red Lion , Maze , Tooley-Btreet , Air . O'Leary in the chair . After BOino private business had been transacted , the Secretary asked if any person wished to join the Association . Mr . Jeans , a true Repealer and member of the National Association , entered his name and took up his card . A gent , then rose , and inquired whteher they werefor an unconditional Repeal of the Union , when he was stopped by the Secretary , stating , that no person but members of the Association wero allowed to speak . Upon which the person stated that , having been a true Repealer ever since his first entrance into political life , he would with pleasure join the Association ,

      aud gave his name Mr . Brown , of Walworth . Mr . B . then , in a neat speech , replete with interest , depicted the cause of the present distresses both in England aud Ireland , ascribing ifc to class legislation , and after a speech of considerable length , sat down with cheers . The Chairman proposed that the health of thenew and talented member be drank with three times three , standing and uncovered . Mr . Brown then returned thanka , and stated that after the manner in which the opinions he had stated had been received , he begged to move the following resolution , considering it to be the only remedy for the evil of both countries : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Repeal of the Legislative Union based upon the principles of Universal Suffrage is the only remedy for Ireland and England . " Mr . Sherman seconded the resolution in a speech full of spiritand called the to

      , upon meeting join together in obtaining a Repeal of the Union , based on the principles of the People's Charter . An amendment was proposed and seconded in favour of what is called General Suffrage , and the Repeal of the Union , whiob , on being put to the rote , was declared to be lost , and the original resolution carried by a large majority . Mr . Sherman than stated , that he trusted that a report of the meeting would find its way to the Northern SJar , as that paper was the only one which would report the account of their meetings , the Tmbkl having refused . The meeting was conducted with the greatest good feeling , and a few such meetings as these would soon ihow to the IriBh people that the English Chartists were not their enemies but their friends , and were determined to obtain tho rights of the English , Irish , Scotch , and Welshmen , in despite of all opposition . The meeting resolved to meet again on Sunday w « ek .

Mart having been called to the chair by the unanimous voice of the assembly depioted the condition of the working classes of this country , which he said was in anawtul Btate . Mr . M . described some desperate cases , which called forth the disapprobation of the assembly , and which he said ought never to exist in a country calling itself Christian . ( Loud cheers . ) The following toasts wero given : — "The people , the only legitimate source of all power . "—Responded to by Mr . Samuel Robinson , who animadverted strongly on the Government for their oppressions practised on the people , and tho unsparing haud of persecution laid

      upon our leaders . The institutions of the country , observed Mr . R ., wero not calculated to benefit the people , but to oppress them ; and , so long as the people were apathetic , they would still more and more become so . All arises from the baneful influence of class-legislation ; he advised them from this time to shake off their apathy , and begin the work of their emancipation . The upper classes cannot exist without your labour ; therefore , demand your rights as producers of all wealth . ( Loud cheers . ) Song by Mr . Nile Grocett , " Daughter of Israel . " Toast— "J . B . O'Brien , the upright , consistent , and talented advocate of the people ' s rights . " Three cheers were here given for this noble patriot . Mr . J . Richards responded to this toast with the

      feelings and sympathy worthy of a copartner . I would address you , said , Mr . R ., as Ladies and Gentlemen , but under our circumstances I must address you as slaves—I am called upon to respond to this toast , and I do it with the greatest pleasure . If I must go through the history of J . B . O'Brien , I should take up the whole of your time . I can scarcely express myself with sufficient admiration for the services this powerful writer has given to the people of this country ; he had endeavoured to infuse the same spirit in tho people as he had imbibed himself—that of puro , disinterested , democratic principles ; he had discovered the condition of the people , and would net rest until the people had obtained their whole rights . Song— " Little

      pigs live on very good straw , " by Mr . William Finnua . Toast— " Feargus O'Connor , and the Executiyo of the National Charter Association . "—Responded to by Mr . Moses Simpson , who eulogised Mr . O'Connor in a short speech , for the services he rendered to the producing classes of this country by his able disquisitions on the small farm system , and by his original and eloquent speeches . Toast— "The People ' s Charter , the only foundation to political and 6 ooial liberty . " —Responded to by Mr . Livesly . The Charter , he said , was based on three principles , Utility , Right , and Justice . A measure provod to be just ought to be carried out so soon as discovered to be so . The principles were carried oat in Switzerland , in Norway , in America , and those

      countries were now in a prosperous condition , and the happiest nations in tho world ; and why not toe Charter become the law of this country . This country was the richest and yet there were more poor hi it than any other . The Charter he said would remove these anomalies . Recitation— " The enslaved millions , " by Mr . Isaac Cartledge . " Frost , WilliamB and Jones , and all political prisoners , andmay they soon be restored to the bosoms of their friends , "Responded to by Mr . Timmis . Mr . T . said if England , Ireland , Scotland and Wales had done their duty , these patriots would now be at home . Recitation— " Black and White Slavery , " by Mr . Thomas Simpson . ** The Universal Suffrage Association of Ireland , and may their exertions be crowned with

      that success which their zeal and perseverance merits . " Responded to by Mr . J . Wallace , who expatiated on the sufferings of Arthur O'Connor in exile , and said that so soon as the Irish people found they were deluded by O'Connell , they would go for the Charter . They must remove that obstacle . " The Ladies "—Responded toby Mr . Bates in an eloquent address , in which Mr . B . showed the reasonableness of women being admitted to the franchise , acd showed as proof of their intellect the noble-minded women of this country were entitled to it , such as Miss Woolstencraft and others . " The Northern Star and the Democratic Press "—Nobly responded to by Mr . S . Robinson . Song , ably sung by Mr . Beech .

      NEWCASTLE . —On Friday evening there was a public meeting held by tho Chartists , &c , to celebrate the release of Mr . O'Brien . There was a Whig anli-Corn Law lecture at Ouseburn , and many thought that they would celebrate his release as well by going there and swamping the Whigs , as attending the meeting , which made the assembly thinner than should be on such an occasion , until a late hour , when they flocked in with the tidings that the anti-Corn Law lecture-reader was completely floored . It was his first public attempt iu Newcastle , and we believe it will be the last ; he i 3 not prepared to answer the reasonable questions of the working classes ; and a consciousness of his incapacity to do so , induced him to go and hide himself . The

      following resolutions were moved and seconded , and carried unanimousl y at the Chartist meeting , Mr . Condon in the chair . Resolved , " That this meeting hail with extreme delight , tho liberation from the Whig dungeon of that unflinching poor man ' s friend , our representative James B . O'Brien , Esq , and as % proof of our respect for , and confidence in that noble of nature , we do hereby plodgo ourselves to fall into rank with him , and never to cease agitating until the Charter becomes th-3 law of the land . " 2 . " That inasmuch as we cannot more competently show an attachment to the genuine principles and first-rate talents of Mr . O'Brien , thaa procuring for him , by union with the rest of his admirers throughout the empire , the mean 3 of establishing

      an indpendent press wherewith to exercise those talents , this meeting are , therefore , of opinion , that certain gentlemen be requested to take part in delivering a courso of lectures , the proceeds to go to Mr . O'Brien ' s press fund . " 3 . " That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Fieldcn , M . P ., and Dr . Bowring , M . P . respoitively , for moving and seconding the stoppage of supplies ; likewise to the four independent gentlemen who supported the same . " 4 . " That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to Mr . Wm . Atkins , of the Ducrow Inn , for his liberality on all occasions in contributing towards tho association funds , aud more especially on the

      occasion of offering to make up any deficiency in defraying the expences of a delegate to welcome Mr . O'Brien . " S . " That a reply be sent to Mr . Williams , to the letter sent us respecting the public tea , and that the town be placarded with an address on the subject . After giving three hearty cheers for the Charter , Mr . O'Brien and Mr . O'Connor , the meeting broko up at a late hour . Mr . Morgan lectured at the following places this week , to largo and attentive audiences , Benton-square , Westmore , North Shields , South Shields , at all which places they pledged themselves to join the National Charter Association forthwith .

Two < a three years lure passed and gone since a . Chartist meeting was held here previously , though a few bright spirits maintained the principles and have been the constant readers of the ( treat organ of the cause ; still , no meetings being held , it was long sinca gravely asserted by some of the would-bethought-politicians of ( he plaoe taat" Chartism wag dead , " and " no mistake" bore ; judge , then , the

      surprise and horror of these important personages when on the Tuesday week they heard it announced per bell , that tho following evening a lecture on Chartism would be delivered in the village . The evening arrived , the village band volunteered their services in the good old cause , and went with a number of friends some distance on the Sheffield road to meet Mr . ^ Harney , whom they escorted to the place of meeting , summoning on the way by their lively strains all who had . " ears to hear , " to come , listen , and judge for themselves . Noin-door place of meeting could be got , so the wet earth for foot-hold , and the dark sky for covering was , as asual , the resource . On the motion of Mr . Lunn , Mr . Fearn , of Sheffield was appointed to preside over the meeting ; in a few remarks he introduced Mr . Harney . Mr . H . commenced by reviewing the

      present unsettled and deplorable state of society , showed that the miserable condition of the working class was the result of misgovernment , occasioned by the people having no control over the legislature of the land , the remedy Mr . H . showed to be the enfranchisement of the whole people as provided for in the Charter , and concluded by a forcible illustration and vindication of the principle of Universal Suffrage . A besotted beast who has been a methodist preacher , attempted to interrupt Mr . Harney , but _ was uncerimoniously bundled out of the meeting , this " backslidor" managing to get his precious person into a row , contrived , so says report , to get both his piouB eyes blacked . The

      meeting for the size of the place was extremely numerous ; a good number of the fair sex were present , who seemed by their deep attention to interest themselves much in tho subject-matter of the lecturer's discourse . At the dose of the meeting , a number of friends adjourned to a convenient place , and there resolved to join the ranks of tho National Charter Association , several enrolling their names on the spot . We shall look to Ecclesfield , and take care that the fire kindled shall not be extinguished . What are the other villages round Sheffield about ? Mr . Harney has volunteered his services . Why do they not do has Ecclesfield has done \
