      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Mondat , Sbhv 27 . Lord Brougham called the attention of their Lordships to the state of prison discipline in this country ; and , amongst other matters , observed that , in consequence of the short diet given to the prisoners , a peculiar disease called land scurry pre-Tailed in many parts of the country . - The Duke of Wellington said that the subject was one upon -which Parliament ought to hare every information , and promised that every facility should be given to the production of the returns moved for . Tuesday , September 28 . The Administration of Justice Bill was brought up from she Commons , and read a first time , alter which their Lordships adjourned .

      HOUSE OF C 03 IM 0 XS . —MosDiT , Sept . 27 . The House resolved itself into a committe of ways and means , and The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he had no occasion to go into the details already communicated to the House by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer , as it would be a needless repetition . In the present session there had been voted £ 1 , 727 , 432 , to which , was to be added the interest on excheqner bDis , amounting to £ 740 , 000 , aDd these two items comprised the sum which the House was then called upon to supply , and this sum was as

      nearly as possible coincident with the sum wkich the late Chancellor of the Exchequer had estimated that it would be necessary to supply . The step which he had thought it right io adopt—namely , that of funding exchequer bills , had been quite successful . He did not wish to have recourse to- new . taxes to make up the deficiency , and he should therefore resort to temporary expedients . He proposed that either exchequer bills or the sale of stock should be applied to this purpose ; and he proposed that the option should be given to the Government of adopting either of these expedients .

      Air . T . F . Baring contended that the proposition of the Right Hon . Gentleman was injudicious , and protested against the course he was pursuing , i& adding to the funded debt of the nation . The Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the course he had pursued , and referred , as a precedent , to the course pursued , under nearly similar circumstances , by Lord Monteagle . Mr . Wiluahs contended that the difficulties of the country could be met by a system of rigid economy , and moved , * 3 an amendment , "That it was inexpedient to add to the funded debt of the country . " Dr . Bowring adverted to the want | of economy in the collection of the revenue . Colonel Sibihorp said the Opposition side of the Housa was attempting to bully the Government , but they would find it too strong for any such experiments .

      Mr . Hawes said it was only reasonable that Sir Robert Peel should state the principles upon which his Government was to be conducted . Mr . Ewaht and Mr . Scott followed , and dwelt upon the distress prevailing in the manufacturing districts . Sir Robert Peel siid that Hon . Gentlemen opposite must not deem him disrespectful if he still adhered to his resolution of not entering upon the question of the Corn Laws . He admitted the existence of great distress , but it was most mischievous to deal in exaggerated descriptions . Lord Palhkrsto . n said he would not object to the particular proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , for it was the only resource , except that of voting fresh taxes , which was left him after the rejection of the measures of the late Government .

      Mr . C . Wood condemned the course pursued by the Government , snd dwelt at some length upon the necessity of an alteratien of the Corn Laws . The resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were then agreed to , Mr . Williams not being able to pat bis amendment owing to some point of form . Sir J . Graham moved that the House should resolve itself into a committee of the whole House upon the Poor Law Commission Bill . Mr . Yorke moved that it should be an instruction to the committee to insert a clause to the effect " that the commissioners be not empowered to enforce indiscriminate separation between man and wife , and that in no case shall they sanction or permit separation when the application for relief shall be substantiated as arising from positive inability to obtain work , or from physical infirmity , and not from idleness , vice , or crime . "

      Sir J . Graham said it was impossible , to overestimate this subject ; but if he entered into the i discussion of the Poor Law Amendment Act npon this motion , he could not refuse to do so upon others ; and h « should thus be carried into details contrary : to the intention of the Government , which was ; anxious to have time to consider the subject with ' proper care and cantion . i Mr . S . Wobtlet supported the course pursued by ' the Government ; and , while he condemned the Bepa- ration of man and wife to the extent to which it was ; carried , he still hoped the Hon . Member would - withdraw his motion to a more favourable oppor- "• nnity . " j Mr , Y , Shith said that it would hive been more ' . manly for the Government to have at once declared I for how long a time they meant to continue the Poor Law Commission .

      sir R . Peel said it was intimated to him , in the early part of the session , by the Noble Lord the member for the city of London , that he intended to bring in a bill for the continuance of the Commission for one year , and he only now brought forward that Bill . Tne Hon . Gentleman should have made himself acquainted with the opinions of hi 3 leader before he threw away so much excellent indignation as he had wasted upon this point . Mr . S . Jeevis said there was time , if they gave up their hunting , shooting , and other recreations , to inquire into and adopt measures to ameliorate the deplorable condition of tne labouring classes of the people . Mr . Paedcsto . n supported the conrse proposed to be pursued by Sir J . Graham .

      Mr . C . Buller supported the Government , in the course which it was , under the circumstances , bound to adopt . Colonel Wood , of Brecon , said he never supposed that this law was to be applied to all parts of the kingdom indiscriminately . In hi 3 district they had bail : houses so as to allow old couples to live together , as they had been acetisiomed to do . Mr . H . Hi . vde opposed the motion of the Hon . Member for York . Mr . Gbimsditch hoped the Hon . Member for York would not press his motion , though he believed the Poor Law Act was destructive of the social system . llr . A ' ignet said if the Hon . Member for York divided the Ho ~ . iS 3 upon the question he would vote for him .

      Lord Sa > 'dd 5 could not snpport the motion of the Hon . Gentleman ( Mr . Yorke ) , though he entertained very strong opinions upon the Poor Law Acu Mr . C . Wood supported the course adopted by . Government . Mr . Hjlrdt hoped that during the ensuing winter the severe clauses of the Poor Law would not be enforced , and that out-door relief would be more generally extended , " Mr . Waklet said if Hon . Members instead of being the administrators of the law , were for a short time its victim ? , they would form a different opinion of its provisions from that which now seemed to possess them . The House divided , and Mr . Ycrke ' s amendment was negatived by a majority of 187 to 35 . The consideration of ihe main question was then postponed until Tuesday , when Mr . S . Crawford will bring forward his amendments .

      Tuesday , September 23-On the third reading of the Administration of Justice Bill , Mr . Ward again brought under discussion the questioa of compensation to the Hon . Mr . Scarlett . Mr . C . Bclleb . said that it was hard upon the copying clerks of ; he Exchequer , some of whom have been thirty years in their occapation , that no compensation whatever was to be given to them . After some further discussion , the Biil was read the third time and passed . Upon the motion for going into Committee upon the Poor Law Commission Continuance Bill , Mr . S . Crawford moved as a . a instrncuon to the Committee , that it should not be la-xfal for the Commissioners to declare any new Union after the parsing of this Bill until the question of the Poor Laws should be brought before Parliament in the course of next session .

      Mr . W . BucFeild Fehra >~ d seconded the proposition . Sir J . Graham said the measure before the House was one , which pledged no one , as he reserved not only the details , but even the principle of the Poor Law , until the next session of Parliament . Mr . M . Philips supported the coarse pursued by the Government . . Mr . Waxley said it was now avowed that tha principles of the Poor Law were to be maintained by the present Government , so that Whigs and Tories might be considered as pledged to its support .

      Mr . Ward defended the Poor Law , ana expressed great pleasure at the manly conrse adopted by Sir J . Graham , in avowing his adherence to the principle : of tha * measure , whatever amelioration might be ab-de in some of us details . ^ _ i Mr , S . WoariET and Mr . Yohke supported thl instruction to ihe committee , and argsed in f&vou : f thflfneeessiky of out-door relief . CofcSelSiBtHOW supported the morion , and said to was alw&TB opposed to the whole system of th « -PofirLftYaatmoeBS&atioiLal and degrading totht people . - '

      The House then divided , and the motion of Mr . S . Crawford was negatived by a majority of 139 to 41 . Mr . S . Crawford than moved his second instruction to the committee , the effect of which was to prevent the Commissioners from refusing outdoor relief . Mr . Wakley supported the motion . Mr . Darby opposed the motion , which gave too great a latitude and removed everything in the shape of a test . The House again divided , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 146 to 32 . The House then went into committee , the clauses were agreed to , the House resumed , and the report was ordered to be bronght np the next day . Sir J . Graham said he should move the third reading of the . bill on Friday . _^ ^ . _

      The " Sight . "—One would think that starvation was an oddity in London , as the Faculty" have engaged the Hanover-square Rooms , to exhibit their voluntarily starved or fasting man , Bernard Cavanak , for a sight of whom they charge one shilling per ( fool ' s ) head . Whether the disposers of sach shillings could make a better use of them is not for us to state , it being rank presumption to dictate to the rich ; suffice it to £ &y , that many noodles who go to see this ten days' starved man , pass by many who have not tasted what can be called food for ten years , or more . 0 miserable system ! but not so miserable either , for England is blest with a most " liberal" New Poor Law .

      Da . viel O'Connell and the Charter . —A correspondent thus writes : —'" I perceive , from the liBt of answers to correspondents , in last week ' s Star , that Patrick Ryan wishes to know what were the words of Mr . O'Connell , when he placed the original document of the People ' s Charter in Mr . Lovett ' s hands ; Mr . Waddington ( a most zealous London Chartist ) informs me that they were— "There , Lovett , there ' s your Charter ; take it , it is yours ; you have a perfect right to it ; ' meaning , that the industrious classes , in general , had aright to it , and that he told them so through Mr . Lovett . This was at Mr . Lovett ' s house ; and after he ( the renegade Daa ) had Bigned his name to that important document . If Mr . O'Connell now thinks that we are ' wrong in demanding that which he himself has acknowledged to be a ' right , ' the fault is his , not ours . "

      Mr . L . T . Clancy , founder , and late Secretary of the Dublin Repeal Charter Association , addressed an English assembly for the first time on Tuesday week , at Lambeth ; the subject of his discourse , or lecture , which occupied above three hours , was " O'Connellism in Ireland ; Ribbonism in Ireland , and Chartism in Ireland . " City of London . —Mr . L . T . Clancy , late Secretary of the Dublin Repeal Association , lectured at the Soientific Institution , 55 , Old Bailey , on Thursday week , for the benefit of Mrs . Peddie ; " O'Connellism in Ireland , Ribbonism in Ireland , and Chartism in Ireland , " was to have been the subject of his lecture , but not being able to commence till near nine o ' clock , he could only deliver so much of it as referred to the renegade O'Connell , reserving the other portions for the two following Thursdays .

      The glorious demonstrations in Lancaster . Liverpool , Manchester , Leeds , and Sheffield , leave ns literally no room for comment ; for , besides occupying our whole space , they present to the reader such a mass of intellectual provision that to add to it would be presumptuous . We need offer no other apology for the entire absence of what is called H Leader" in the Star of the present week—nor for the omission of much , and the condensing into the smallest possible compass of much more of valuable Chartist and local intelligence , forwarded to ns from a great many localities .

      For some time past , the Committee appointed to superintend the getting up of the Demonstration in honour of the Chief of the People ' s Choice , Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., had been unremitting in the duties assigned them . The Theatre Royal was engaged . Four hundred tickets were printed , 260 men ' s and 150 women ' s . By the 27 th , these were all sold , and so great was the demand then , when there was no longer a supply , that it was now seen , when too late ,

      had there been six or seven hundred tickets printed , instead of four hundred , no doubt all would have been sold . But it was now too late to make further arrangements , consequently , immense numbers who had postponed applying for tickets , until the Monday evening and Taesday , could not have their application granted , and as may be supposed , were bitterly disappointed . Large green placards , posted throughout the town , on Tuesday morning , announced the arrangements for the day following . We subjoin a copy : — W mA f& Tf II i r * T ^ » T * i ^ T f » T >

      ^ ^^* * " TO THE MASTER CCTLEK . " Sir , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders of the borough of Sheffield , do hereby request you to convene a public meeting , to be held on Wednesday , September 29 th , to consider the propriety of presenting a congratulatory address to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., on hi 3 arrival in Sheffield . [ Here followed the names of the requisitionists . ] " The Master Cutler having declined to call a meeting for the above purpose , we , the requisitionists , hereby call one , to be holden in Paradise Square , on Wednesday , September 29 th , at two o ' clock in the afternoon precisely . After which , the members and friends of the National Charter Association will proceed to the Railway Station with carriages , banners , and music , to meet Mr . O'Connor , who will arrive at Sheffield by the quarter to three o ' clock train , and will then return to Paradise Square , where he will address the assembly ; and then in the same order proceed to the Theatre , where he will be honoured with a public dinner , & . c . & . c . "

      At length the day—the long wished for day arrived . The previous evening the rain had descended in torrents , and caused no little unpleasant feeling in the breasts of our fair friends , fearing , as they did , that similar weather might be their ill fortune on the morrow . On rising , about half-past five o'clock , we found that a stiff breeze had dried the streets wonderfully in the course of the night , and although the clouds overhead looked anything bat propitious , we had faith that all would be well ; but about halfpast seven the rain cams pouring down , considerably damping our hopes . About eight o ' clock it ceased , and again the friendly breeze speedily dried the soaking streets . From this hour the day began to wear a better aspect ; and after twelve o ' clock the sky looked gloriously fine , and all dark forebodings vanished .

      At two o clock precisely , the Council and members \ of the Association moved from their rooms , accom- panied by the various banner bearers , and an im-, mense concourse of people to Paradise Square . On arriving at the hustings , on the motion of Mr . Gill , i Mr . Utley was unanimously elected Chairman . The Chairman observed they would be aware of the business for which they had been called together ; it was to agree to a congratulatory address to be presented to Mr . Feargus O'Connor on his arrival . Mr . O'Connor was expected to reach the railway station before three o'clock , he , ( the chairman ) would not therefore , detain them by any further remarks , but would call upon Mr . Harney to propose and read to them the address prepared by the Council . Mr . Harney then read the address intended to bo presented to Mr . O'Connor , and in a few words proposed its adoption . Mr . Gill seconded the motion .

      The Chairman took the sense of the meeting , when a forest of hands declared the address unanimously carried . The Chairman said they would now move down to the Station , there to meet their friend and champion . Immediately toe vast mass assembled—proceeded with all haste to the Railway , any thing like order was out of the question—so intense was the desire of the thousands who , from the Square , and every street leading to the Station , now poured down to the place where they expected to behold O'Connor onee more .

      Their patience was , however , put to the test , having to wait till near half-past three o ' clock , when a beautiful Union Jack , waving within the gates of the Station , borne by the sturdy veteran , Duffy , who had accompanied Mr . O'Connor from Leeds , announced the arrival ef the people ' s leader . To adequately describe the enthusiasm with which Mr . O'Connor wa 3 hailed , is a task we are not fitted to perform . Enough , that agtin , and again , and yet again , the mighty multitude made the very Eky to ring again with their thundering rheers .

      The following is the order of procession : — Splendid green silk banner of the Sheffield Chartists . Motto : — " The National Charter Association" — " Justice to all—privilege to none . " The Reverse— " The greatest happiness of the greatnumber for the greatest length of time . Members of the Council of the National Charter Association in an open carriage . The Union Band .

      About twenty carriages , filled with ladies , were in the procession—while one mighty mass—one living tide of men , whose numbers ' tis impossible to calculate , followed the banners of freedom , ever and anon rending the air with their approving and joyous shouts . Mr . O'Connor and the Council were the only parties who reached the Square in their carriages—the whole of the other carriages were shut out by the mighty mass of human beings who filled every nook and corner of the Square . So far as we could see , the number of people in the procession would have filled the Square nearly three times over—as such , many thousands neither saw , nor heard Mr . O'Connor in the Square . Silence being obtained—The Chairman called on Mr . Habney to present the address before adopted to Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Harney then read the following address : —

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . The Address of the Sheffield Artizans , and others , in Public Meeting assembled , Sept . 20 th , 1841 . Patriotic Sib , —Upon the occasion ef this your public entry into the town of Sheffield , after sixteen months' incarceration in the dungeon of despotism , wo deem it our duty to briefly address you , expressing our approbation of your past career , and our esteem of your public conduct ; at the same time giving yen to understand what we require of you in the future Xer our continued and hearty support .

      As Englishmen , free in heart and sou ] , though politically and socially held in the chains of thraldom , we worn to play the part of sycophants . The language of flatterers shall not be ours . But , in all sincerity , we award you our heartfelt approbation of your political career . From the first hour that the name of O'Connor became familiar to the public ear to the present time , we have watched closely your conduct ; as a member of what ought to be the Commons' House of Parliament—as a Representative of the People in the Convention of 1839—as an advocate of the claims of the working classes on the platform ,

      or the assertor of their rights through the press . We have seen nothing to condemn ; muoh , very much to admire . Your ever-to-be-remembered services in behalf of the Dorchester Labourers , and Glasgow Cotton Spinners , entitle you to the lasting thanks of the tradei of this country , whose rights were invaded by tht unjust punishment of their persecuted brethient DO : will the people of this country ever forget jour unparalleled exertions in humanity ' s cause , when night and day you laboured , and thank God , successfully too , to save from the bloody sentence of the taw , the virtuous , unfortunate , betrayed John Frost and his compatriots .

      Lastly , Sir , we have marked your unbending , unflinching conduct in the prison-house , to which those miserable hypocrites and traitors , tne defunct Whig faction consigned you ; and hare in our hearts rejoiced that cruelty could not make you cower before despotism , or succumb to the tyranny of the oppressor , We sympathise with you on your late incarceration , and do most heartily congratulate you upon your release from the felon ' s cell , in which the tyrants of our country bad immured you . And now , Sir , permit us to state why we honour you . It is not because you belong to the aristocratic portion of the state ; it is not because you have moved , or may move , in a different sphere of society to as , who belong mainly to the toiling masses ; nor is it because of your talents , which we are bound to admire . No ; we honour you because vre found you the honest and incorruptible .

      We are no " man-worshippers , " and had you , Sir , like unto others in whom we once confided , stept aside from the straight-forward path of political rectitude , like them you would have been rejected by the people , and the men of Sheffield would have been among the first to pronounce your condemnation . Our confidence and support you shall have so long as an honest man and sterling patriot you are faithful to your trust , and no longer . But , Sir , faithful in the past , you have our undiminished confidence for the future . Go on , then , patriotic Sir , go on in the noble course you have hitherto pursued . Fear not the plots of your enemies , uor the calumnies of false friends ; the people will support you ; and we , the Artizins of Sheffield , pledge you our untiring help and aid until the Charter shall be law—every despotic institution annihilated—every unjust law swept away—and our country ' s greatness established upon the equal rights and happiness of all .

      Mr . O'Connor replied . He thanked them from his heart and soul . He thanked them for the elegantly expressed address just read , and presented to him by his friend , Mr . Harney . It was not the first time he had stood upon this hustings—he had stood there when there was danger to brave—when every minion of tyranny was on the watch to entrap him . ( Cheers . ) He stood there again , aye , after sixteen months' incarceration in a felon ' s cell—he stood amongst them to hurl defiance to the oppressors , and to tell them that vain had been their efforts to subdue his spirit by persecution . ( Loud cheers . ) Thank God , he could now congratulate them on the proud position of their cause . One of the vile factions had fallen , the miserable truckling Whigs

      were no more . ( Cheers . ) They had now the Tories in front ; and , by God ' s | blessing , as they had beat the Whigs , so would they beat aud put down the Tories . ( Loud cheers . ) Since he last met thenythey had had a general election ; well , now they fed a House of Tories and Sir Robert Peel , that great State quack ; your disorder is so chronic , you have laboured under it so long , you o&n bear it a little longer , and can afford to do without medicine for the next six months . ( Laughter . ) Now , he would caution them against been misled by parties who would bid for their strength , not to free the people , but for their own selfish ends . Remember what were the promise , and what have been , the performances of the Whigs . ( Loud cries of hear , hear . )

      They began by giving my country coercion and ended with giving yours starvation ; and yet now they come forward and ask us to join them iu their constitutional opposition to Sir Robert Peel's Government ; well , what do they propose to give us in return for our support ? 0 ! just nothing ; you are to " open your mouth , and shut your eyes , and see what God will send you !"—( laughter , )—but never should the Whigs deceive them more j he had saved them from the wolves before , aud he would save them from the prowling wretches again . ( Cheers . ) H the Whigs admire our principles , as some of them say they do , let them join us ; to them we will not go , so to us they must come . If the mountain will not come to Mahomet—Mahomet must come to the

      mountain . ( Cheers . ) The shopkeepers were beginning to find out that an empty till ou Satuiday night , made an ugly wife on Sunday morning ; they were beginning to find out that if the working classes were miserable , they could not be comfortable ; hence they were now joining us . Mr . O'Connor , after a few other remarks , then entered into the question of free-trade , completely upsetting the fallacies of the " cheap-bread , " " high-wages , " and " plenty-to-do" gentry . Alluding to the recent demonstrations , he said—At Birmingham a gentleman wanted to get the Charter by fasting and praying , taking especial care that while he did the praying , the fasting should be performed b y his flock . But glorious had been the demonstration in that

      town : at the head of thousands , and tens of thousands of the hard-handed sons of toil he had entered t he Bull Ring , renowned in the annals of their cause . The effect of his visit to Birmingham had been the uniting of all sections of the Chartist body . The Christian Chartist Churchmen had notified to their pastor that he might please himself , but they would join their Chartist brethren ; and if he would not , he might look for a congregation elsewhere . ( Cheer 3 . ) At Manchester they had had six hundred thousand in procession . He had marched at the head of the trades , marshalled under their respective banners . It was said that he would be assassinated if he went to Manchester ; well , he went ; and he did receive a letter telling

      him that his countrymen would assassinate him , though even six thousand of them should perish in effecting his destruction ; he heeded not this ; he attended the meeting , and the men who chiefly crowded round the hustings were those whom he was told would assassinate him ; but did they attempt to injure him ? No ; on the contrary , they had expressed their satisfaction at his conduct , and expressed their readiness to join the English people in their struggle for their liberties . ( Cheering . ) At Leeds they had yesterday a glorious exhibition of their numbers and their strength ; and to-day he and to that Sheffield

      was proud happy see was more determined than ever in the good old cause . Mr . O'Connor concluded an eloquent addreBS by warning his hearers to have nothing to do with secret societies ; nolthreats of physical force were now needed , they were too proudly strong ia their moral might . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Three hearty cheers were given for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three for the Charter and no surrender ; and three for Air . O'Connor ; when the mighty multitude formed in procession as before , proceeding up the principal streets of the town to the Theatre Royal .

      THE DINNER . As before stated , four hundred tickets were sold by Monday afternoon ; but a large number of persons were accommodated in addition to the above number ; and , as near as we could judge , something

      near five hundred persons safe down to dinner . The front of the stage was tastefully ornamented with festoons of dahlias and laurel ; portraits of Feargus aud Arthur O'Connor , Emmett , and other patriots , decorated different parts of the stage , where , on eleven lengthy tables , the dinner wa 8 served up . The arrangements were altogether excellent , and reflect honour on the superintending committee . About five o ' clock the company sat dowa to table , and were not slow in doing justice to the good things

      set before them , Eaoh having partaken of the substantials , and the oloth removed , the Chairman gave orders for the admission of the public waiting outside . The doors were no sooner opened than a rush was made from without , and simultaneously : the boxes , pit , and gallery filled to overflowing , hundreds being forced to remain outside , for whom there was no room within . The speakers now took up their places in front of the pit , Mr . O'Connor beiDg loudly applauded on coming forward . The Chairman gave , —

      " The people , the only source of legitimate power . " Mr . G ill responded to the sentiment . Air— " Rule Britannia . " The Chairman then introduced Mr . Wm . Martin , of Brampton , who presented an address to Mr . O'Connor from the Chartists of Chesterfield and Brampton . We regret our limits will not permit us to give the address . The Chairman next introduced Mrs . Clayton , Mrs . Holbery , Mrs . Foden , and Mrs . Ward—a deputation from the Female Chartists of Sheffield , appointed to present a congratulatory address to Mr . O'Connor ; Mrs . Ward read the address which was beautifully iworded , setting forth the esteeem

      and rrspect in which he was held by the four patriots whom they represented . [ The ladies must pardon us not printing their address—our excuse will be found above . ] The Chairman then gave " Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., the incorruptible and unchangeable advocate of universal liberty , may he live to see the rights of the people established , and the principles of freedom triumphant throughout the world . Mr . O'Connor , who was received with the most tremendous cheering , then replied ia a speech of an hour and a half's duration , of which it is quite impossible to give even a word Air— See the Conquering hero comes . "

      The Chairman next gave " The Charter , the only means of redress for the wrongs and grievances of the people—may it speedily become the law of the land . " Responded to by Mr . Julian Haunet . Air — ?* Scots wha hae . " The Chairman next gave— " The Welsh Martyrs ; may the united people restore to their fatherland the exiles in liberty's cause . " Responded to by Mr . Samuel Pahkes . Air— " The exile of Erin . "

Air— "St . Patrick ' s Day . " The Chairman next gave , The sacred memories of T / ler , Wallace , Tell , Washington , Kosciusko , M nr , Emmett , Fitzgerald , and the patriots of all ages and all nations , who have struggled and died to establish the rights of man . " Responded to by Mr . Hollyoake .

      The Chairman next nave , " Brontorre O'Brien , and all who have suffered to achieve the people ' s deliverance ; may they have their reward in the speedy triumph of the principles they have so nobly vindicated . " Responded to by Mr . Marsh . Air— " A man ' s a man for a ' that . " The Chairman next gave— "The Northern- Star , and the rest of the democratic press , may the people enlightened win their rights , and have the knowledge to maintain them . " Responded to by Mr . Mr . Buxtow . This closed the evening's proceedings .

      We may , in conclusion , mention that in addition to parties from Doncaster , Barnsley , Rotherham , and Chesterfield , there were persons present from almost all the villages and towns within 30 miles of Sheffield ; we conversed with a gentleman who had walked forty miles from the Tory totvn of Newark , much to our gratification . He assured us Chartism vtas making steady progress in his locality ; and similar cheering information we received from all quarters . Iu Chesterfield , Doncaater , and Rotherham the cause is gloriously progressing .

      Wednesday was a day glorious for Sheffield—how must the miserable factions have quaked in their hearts to witness the peaceful moral exhibition of the people ' s struggle , to see them in their countless thousands throng the streets , and hear their lionvoices shouting the death-knell of tyranny . Ye have done well , men of Sheffield ; see that ye resolutely and wisely follow up your glorious display on Wednesday last , and the hour cannot be far distant when you will have tho reward of your patriotic toils in seeing your hopes realised—Your Charter law .

      We regret much that we cannet persuade our mends practically to observe the very clear and plain directiosB which we have so often given and repeated about the sending of matter for the Star . The extent of our circulation obliges us to go to press en Thursday afternoon ; and , therefore , our friends seem to think that if their communications reach us by Thursday morning it is quite soon enough . This is a great mistake . They should remember that every word of the paper has to be put together by single letters , and the whole space filled before we can go to press , and it is impossible to do this in one forenoon . Our men are busily employed in filling up the paper with matter which , from one source or other , we must supply during the whole

      week , and it seldom happens that more than one or two columns , besides the neeessary space for editorial comment , remain to be filled on Thursday morning . This shews the importance and necessity of all matters of news , occurrences of the movement , reports of meetings , && , being sent to us at once , immediately they occur . Instead of which , it often happens , that on Monday and Tuesday we have scarcely any letters , and on Wednesday comparatively few till the night post arrives . The consequence is , that those letters which do arrive in the early part of the week are carefully attended to and given generally at length ; while we are obliged to have recourse to the London papers , and various sourees , for matter to fill the remaining portion

      of b » many columns of the paper as must be set up before Wednesday night . Wednesday night and Thursday morning ' s poats bring us a shoal of letters from all parts of tne country ; these come upon us just in the hurry of writing and attending to what are called the leading articles ; while in the early port of the week we have more time to attend to correspondence . The consequence is that one half of these letters are passed over entirely ; and the other half compressed into the smallest possible amount of space—and the next consequence is , that in the following week we have letters of complaint from various parties about their communications being treated with neglect . Some whose letters or reports may have been omitted for

      want of space , refer occasionally to the police reports—the column of " varieties , " or some other portion of the contents of the 2 nd , 3 rd , 6 th , or 7 th pages of the paper , which are always set up first—and ask indignantly if their communication was less important than such or such a thing which appeared iu the same paper from which it was excluded " for want of space " - —others accuse us of partiality and unfairness in cutting down their reports to a mere annoucement , while those of other towns are given at greater length . We have had many most angry letters of this description , the cause for which has rested entirely with the parties themselves . Now if our friends will but bear in mind that we are filling np

      the paper every day ; that the same column cannot be filled twice over ; that we must give out such matter as we have just when the . men want it , or there would be no Star on Saturday , and that therefore we can't wait for the next post—we must go on ; if they would remember all this , and send their communications promptly —in the early part of the week—all would stand a fair and a good chance ; and if they would also remember that we have only one weekly paper for all England , Scotland , Ireland , and Wales , aud that , therefore , no one place can be allowed to monopolize an unreasonable portion of the paper ,

      we should have no complaints of inattention to any party—because we know there would be no ground for them . Our anxious desire is to make the Star a truly national organ , equally representing all ; but we cannot : d « this uaiesa the country will aid us rightly in the sending of their matters of communication . The above remarks apply , o caurse , to news , facts , meetings of the people , Chartist intelligence , fee . Original papers , letters to the Editor , personal correspondence ,, poetry , &c , must be here at the beginning of the week , or we shall not bold ourselves bound even to notice them .

      TO THE EDIT 9 R OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Various reports haying been circulated , through the medium of the journals of the metropolis , and which , not contradicted , are calculated to prejudice the public mind against a body of men who are at this time struggling for their rights , we therefore take the opportunity of soliciting a favour , to disabuse the public mind through your columns ; and trust , as your journal is the only one on which working men can depend for the truth , that you will lay its columns open for them . The Observer states shat the men lately employed at the Houses of Parliament have struck against

      their foreman for no fault whatever ; aad that sixteen or seventeen have been the means of per-6 uadiDg 220 to leave their work without a cause . This , to us , is preposterous : more particularly when we are aware that the source whence it came has acknowledged that the generality of the masons on that work were rational and thinking men . In order to give the public an opportunity to judge for themselves , whether the men have any reason to complain or not , we will give you a detailed account of facts ( which we challenge the world to deny , ) relative to the conduct of Allen , foreman at the above works .

      One of the men received the unwelcome intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother and very naturally feelB a wish to see her interred , he informed Allen of his desire to go to Manchester for that purpose , stating that he would be back in a week or fortnight , when the black monster turned round upon him and told him " if that was the case he might go away altogether , " asserting " that he would not keep a job open for any man that length of time under such circumstances . " As another speoimen of his conduct , one of the men had his leg broke by a fall from the scaffold , and on his : return to his work , expecting , of course , that as he had been lamed in the service of his employers , that they would continue to give him work , but no

      Allen immediately discharged him , in the most insulting manner , and told him he did not want such d—d hobbling fellows as him there ; agaiu , there was one of the men who had got leave from the under foreman to attend the death-bed of his wife , and on his return , Allen asked him where the d—1 in h—1 he had been ! The man replied that his wife was dead , and he should want to go to bury her . "Then" ( says Allen ) " you may go and die , and be d—d ! and bury yourself with her 1 " It has also been quite customary for { this monster to order many a good tradesman , in the most domineering manner , to " pick up his tools and be off , " before they have been many hours on the job , without the least consultation as to whether they were blameable or not .

      We now think we have said sufficient to satisfy the public of the sophistry and falsehoods contained in the journals of the-metropolis , - and will therefore conclude by informing them that the masons have manfully come Out , and there they will remain until that monster , Alien , is removed from the works , and are not , as has been stated , deficient of the support of their Socioty ; and , consequently , they

      GtBAVEtHOLE . —( Near Botrozr . )—Ia no town in England is tyranny carried to a more alarming extent than in this village . It has often been your correspondent's lot to expose the shameful and brutal conduct of millowners and their tools—con duct at which human nature has shuddered ; but ho never saw cruelty in the mills that could be contraeted with that practised by one or two petty tyrants here . The fustian-cutting is the principle trade , and is in the hands of a few men , who all employ a number of persons , and have the work under their own inspection . Some of them are honourable men , and as moderate in their demands as can be expected in their circumstances , but such cannet bo said of them all . One of these masters has . on some occasions , had thirty children working

      for him—children under the age at which the mills take them—children whose parents are poor , and compelled to get them work on some terms , and , therefore , their poor children are engaged while tears bedew their parental cheek . At the present , this man has eighteen children working for him , all at half price , some of which are not more than seven years of age ; yet they have to rise early and work late , and towards the end of the week—as if rest on the Sabbath was too much for these little ones—they are made to work all Bight : yes , the iron-hearted master makes them work all the Friday aigbt ; and if exhausted nature fall to sleep , the poor little ones are aroused by the fists of their masters . A few days ago I was led , by information , to inspect this

      little hell . After some conversation with the neighbours , I got in . When I got there , a female , about thirty years of ago , Attracted my attention . Her eyes were swollen , and of a dark purple colour . I asked what had been the cause , and was pointed to the master , and was told that he , in a fit of anger had struck her with his fists . On inquiry I found that it was not uncommon to see her abused , and to hear the children cry . But it would require tho pen of an Oastler to do justice to the subject ; for cruel as the factory tyrants are , this man alone has made more crippled children thaa all the mills of Rochdale united . Well might the ancient penman tay , " The tender mercies Of the wicked are cruel . " —Correspondent .

      HALIFAX . —Anti-Poor Law Abortion . — The vaunted Operative Anti-Corn Law Association announced a general meeting of their body by placards , to be holden in the Laacasterian School Room , on Thursday week , at whioh business of the greatest importance was to be submitted to the meeting ; and Io , what was Our surprise , ( so close on the heels of the great Operative Anti-Corn Law festival , as reported in the Leeds Times and Mercury with so much pomp ) , to find that the candles burning and members present amounted to the

      amazing number of thirty—there being just eighteen of the former and twelve of the latter . The Secretary apologised for the paucity of their numbers present ; he could not tell the reason , but he assured his audience that there were 700 names on the book , and that they need not despair . Another complained of no weight in the agitation . One more wise than the rest stated bis opinion , that the working classes would never be benefited until their labour could be protected , but was kindly reminded that they were not met to discuss politics .
