And now , Irishmen , having thus reeejred-afcjcmr lands the first solace for the dennDci » fi < ms I "liaVe boma from a swindling faction fox newly sine years , because I would not be a party to my country ' s gale and her people ' s bondage , permit me "to direct your attention , briefly for the present , to the melancholy aad heart-breaking condition of our d « voted , ]) nKo-be-redeemed ccrnritry . "T ay briefly far the present , " becaose it is my intention , when i shall fcne received all the numbers of Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s letters upon the Repeal question ^ to jjjiww them seriatim , objection by objection ^ iaa ebap pamphlet , " conUiniBg hia fetters , and t&ir « f Mr . Daunt in reply , together with my answer .
Tbe question of the Repeal of the Union holds , tsd ever has held , in my-estimaikm , thB precedence of » U other Irish questions ; and therefore do I fed myself justified in accounting for my silenee jad the silence of the Northern Star upon the popnon recently taken up by Mr . Crawford upon the jaVjeet . In the first place , then , I hold it to be both list and fair to wait until Mr . Oawfor-d ' s whole cue shall bare bees made out and submitted . In tbe second place , tbe demand upon tbe columns of the Star is so great , that the required portion esold not be gnaa ap for Mr . Crawford ' s letters and Mr . Datmt ' s replies j and the Editor considers
Hoi ii would he unjust to give one without the other . In the third place , daring b j tour in Scotlmd , I had not leisure to aotice Mr . Crawford ' s letters ; and in my opinion , from the JgnoriBce which prevails throughout England and Scotland , upon the subject of th& Repeal of the Union , the publication without note or comment ef the false and untenable positions , tha stretched anticipations , the I&chrytsore forebodisgs , and bopding conclusions of Mr . Crawford , forced iipoa tie favourable consider&Jiori of jniny , very BliiJ , by the just estimation in which the inner is held by all for his political integrity and Bonl worth , would hare ensured for them a value ie which I hope to proTe they are net entitled .
Yes , my countrymen , I undertake to prove that Mr . Crawford has fallen into that error which h& 3 moled Mr . O * ConBeB to coBsign so many good and feats * men to oblivion or to death . He has allowed Us hostility to the meaas -used for the attainment rf Repeal to warp his judgment , and lead his attention from the consideration of the principle ; whereas is doty , as an Irishman , was to hare endearoured to combat the erU seas * , which night bars been tfwted withoat inflicting damage upon the principle , ftese letters , if not fairly met and critically exposed , weald be pTe-emineatiT calculated to
ecdaagetihecajist ) otltepeal ,-aad therefore I ask but for a Acrr pause before my country shall hare been -eoasgued to perpetual bondage . I undertake to pore that the effect of Mr . Crawford ' s federal Bwra , would be to create the Tery feuds , contention « d strifes , which he anticipates from an independent legislation . I undertake to prore , that his system vccld create a T * st amount of goreroment patronage , without returning one single advantage to Irekad . I undertake to proTe , that his system -mmid gtre birth to a huge national corporation in Ireland , which would represent the Protestant interest in its corporate capacity at home , while it * ould compose ibe working machinery for representing itseli in tbe Imperial Parliament . I
undertake to prove that an Irish Parliament , under a British administration , would be a curse , and would cable the British ministers of the d » y to do as all Bri&fe ministers since the Union hare done , —i » insure his Irish majority by the wages of ttrnptioa paid in Irish Catholic blood . I lafetake to prove thai Mr . Crawford ' s hope from < qoil representation eren with Universal Suffrage ; —tfrot obBenre , he speaks throughout of the present taadard of friDehifie )—so far from relieving Ire-W , would considerably increase and multiply her ^ Scoities and persecutions ; while the increased Eucber of Irish representatives in an T-nglinh Par-Sawat , would but increase the number of Irish kffigerents on the British stage , without giving to Trial is exiled the Liberal party any accession of
P ** K . la shftrt it would bat serve to expose our ^^ atrj ' s dissentions the more and more , while it 1 ro ? W acre than double the injustice and iujary ef « l « Bteeism . I undertake to prove that the amount tf piblie opinion which would iasure the success of * 2 . Crawford ' s plan , would insure a repeal of the ttfaail Union , and grant to Ireland an in-^ Pttdeat Parliament . I undertake to prove 8 " ** the dreaded influence of Mr . CConnell ""wld hr- reality in the federal assembly , while if *»«» OttEJy used in an Irish Parliament it would *** & ¦ him at once . I undertake to prove , that no I ^ afry can be justly governed whose Tepresentafr « eompose but a minority of a representative
W yhiring more extensive and district fnnotionB t « distharge than those which affeet the interest of * i » sttifier state . And I further undertake to prove , thttcttional improvement is incompatible withforeign r r * e&t * fion ; and that to insure a respect for the * "s Uki for the pbyaeal , intellectBal and moral imjJ ^ fcfBt of a people , the domestic legislators must k *»« grt , must be answerable and responsible to the P ^ Sfe&r whom they legislate , and to them alone . ** ebort , as I have more than once before observed , * % Bust return to their constituents at the dose of ^« session , to receive their Bmiles as the reward of v ^ * or their frowns as a punishment for vice . 1 'a&rfcike to prove that tbe mixture of two
belli-***** Irish parties in the English Honse of Comtta afiords the British Minister means of opj ** aag the English people , which he would not we if Ireland had an independent Parliament . I '' MerUke to prove that eo long as Irish patronage '" 'stitates i W ^ e portion of the British Minister ' s s ^ Pwt in the Honse of Commons , SO long will the ^ f ^ ction , as at present existing between the
eoun-***» operate most prejudicially against the interest « the Eagl ^ working eiuses . In short , I nnder-^ h > show to demonstration , that so long as the ™ J * Unioa es ^ sts .

oblivion , when compared" with a question M yitally « SWtia < lr « Uod '« fiewioa , and mj e # ttBtry > s iflorf . Let me now tell yon why and wherefore I attach great importance to Mr . Crawfoxd ' a letters at any time , but more especially at the present moment . ' - . - . ' > : firstly , then , I find that many who , like nyae % hare been disgutted with the messs used far the aeeoapM&fame&t of a Repeal of the U&io&v . reason erroneously spon those letters , staking ; the censure of Mr . O'ConnelTa general oondnot upon the subject of justification , for their desertion or Inkewananeaa . No man has gone for ther
thas your humble servant in exposing and deaounoing the meanderings aad windings of Mr . O'Cpnndl in his devious path ; yet have I at all times , in the . midst of torrents of abuse ttom thoae eaUiox . themselves Repealers , adhered firmly to the principle ; and , while I would allow every ttaa foB tight for the fre . ft _ expiession of hia opinion , I clajm As JQT ^ KS of declaring on my part my extreia * artoafahBiwit &i the approrsl of Mr . Csawpqsd ' s letters , by lay man professing himself a Repealer Intact , they , famish &n easy escape to those who would gladly seize , npon the advent of Tory domination as , a fitting opportunity for the abandonment of Irelaaj * * $ aose . Many will no V : des « H ifcft , atHtdatd * iiteM ia bem
F ^ mtiaa U wwad ^ itnath to doubt , when the practice of sopping-eff waa weorted to as a meaas of conversion . Again , my countrymen , the letters of Mr . Crawford are peculiarly inanspieious at the present moment , because we are engaged now in an imperial struggle . We are now about to petition for the Charter and a Repeal of the Union ; and some men , with old women's nerves , have already begun to question the policy ; aye , the policy , of mixing up the two questions , aad Mr . Crawford ' s letters , if not met , would increase this weakness . But what
will you Bay when I prove , as I undertake to do , that even the Charter , the whole Charter , would be an inadequate measure of justice for Ireland , if not accompanied by a Repeal of the Union ' I say accompanied by , as England and Ireland nrast have justice at one and tbe Fame moment , and out of the samb agitation . I feel assured that Mr . Crawford fully feels the necessity of his own plan , and the insufficiency of the plan now in process of agitation ; and , therefore , I shall deal wish him as a friend , who , in mj opinion , has gone astray .
For the present I would recommend all those who have read Mr . Crawford's letters to read Mr . Daunt ' s replies to Kos . 1 and 2 . I have only seen those two cumbers , which I recommend , especially the latter , to the seriou 3 reflection of every man . It has relieved me of mnch of the bush-firing and detail gqnabbiing . He answers every one of Mr . Crawford ' s forebodings about colonial and domestic policy , commercial reciprocity , and separate interests , in a most masterly manner ; and , as much weight is very properly attached to Mr . Crawford ' s unblemished and honourable character ; give me leave to say that no man can boast Of a more unblemished character than can Mr . Daunt .
I have known him from infancy ; and I believe that a more sincere Repealer , or a man of more unblemished character breathes not . I have thought it more the necessary to say so much in consequence of the eorrnpter channels iato which the defefiee of poor Ireland had fallen . My beloved countrymen , having said so much upon tbe subject of Mr . Crawford ' s letters , I have but small space to direct your attention to our present position . The Tories are now in power . The Irish liberal members instead of meeting them as the English Chartists met them upon the very threshold of office , left them an unopposed field . In fact , they ran away , while Crawford , Duncombe , and the
brave thirty-nine , and Fielden and the brave fortytwo were disputing the ground inch by inch . Had tbe Irish Liberals stood by ub , Crawford would have had more than 100 votes for the Charter , while FJelden ' s motion for Btopping the supplies would have had a trentendoos . infiuence all over tbe world . In this state of things we can have no hope for any improvement in oai country except through the agency of English agitation ; and now that we are upon the eve of procuring four millions of British signatures for the enforcement of Irish Justice , we find that the denunciation of that force upon which Ireland must rely , increases in the exact proportion in which a better understanding between the working people of both countries increases .
I reJy upon the judgement , the candour , and the patriotism of the Irish in England , to see through and to dissipate this mist , which has so long obscured our vision . You are told to have nothing to do with the " Torch and dagger Chartists . " Good God ! did you ever hear such nonsense 1 What ! have nothing to do with the only force npon which yon can safely rely for sueeour and support ! Now , my countrymen , thank God that I have lived to receive the first fruits of compensation for the unjust and ungenerous abuse of which , for nearly
nine years , I have been the victim . It iB now more than seven weeks since a deputation of my countrymen waited upon me at Eccles , to request that I would cease to denounce Mr . O'Connell ; and that the result would be a junction of English ChartiBts and Irish Repealers . Well , I did pledge myself , and from that moment to the present , I have abstained from the mention of his name , while I still constitute the stock-in-trade of die Royal Loyal ' B abase . "Well , I can afford to bear it so long as I continue to increase in my countrymen's affections .
In conclusion , dear Irishmen , I thank you ; and in return for your support , rely upon the unremitting , untiring , and unflinching support which one humble Irishman can bring to bear upon hia country ' s caBse . I have long struggled for oar country , and will continue to brave abnse and danger , resolved to see Ireland free , or to sacrifice comfort , ease , future health , or life , if necessary , in the establishment of my country ' s freedom . Ever your sincere And affectionate countryman , Feakous O'Coskob .
TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Mr vbbt deab Fbiikds , —After tbe kindly reception and support with which I was honoured by you on my recent tour , I think I may assume , without vanity , that in Scotland the democratic principle . is in the ascendant , and that my exertions to make it so have been duly appreciated by the Scotch .
Never in the course of my incessant agitation was I so amply rewarded for all my labours , as I hare been during the month of my sojourn in the land of cakes ; and therefore to one and all I return no cold and formal acknowledgments , but my warmest Irish gratitude and thanks . Yes , for although you were labouring for yourselves , yet it must bo pleasing and gratifying to me to be aekaowiedgwi as a zealous fellow workman .
My friends , of the foul conspiracy which , with your assistance , I was enabled so triumphantly to meet , to combat , and to overthrow , I shall say but little ; as many of yon have already seen those documents now in my possession , which establish beyond doubt , its origin , its objects , and its means of accomplishment . You wilLbear in mind , that after the Leeds meeting , and previously to the docum announcing the

prepbet mj be inferred from the » ppft » l o * Bffcwster to the total abstainers , as also from the sneaking and cowardly manner in which the Chartist Synod of Glasgow sought to use the poor blunt thing as an instrument for my destruction . But here allow me to discriminate between the shepherds and the flocks , between the committee and tbe body of teetotallers . In Glasgow , a knot of unemployed Methodists have endeavoured to constitute themselves into a kind of Chartist Presbytery ; and actually had the insolence and presumption to threaten Mr . Thompson , the able and virtuous teacher and
pastor of Greenock , with suspension , for not having his credentials from the Synod of Glasgow . It was their intention to have mads Brewster the High Priest or Bishop of the body , had his bye-play with tbe rulers of his own church succeeded in rousing a great national sympathy in his favour . But it is impossible to serve two masters ; and Brewster was too cunning to throw out the dirty State Charch notion until he had insured a large draught at the Charter Church opening . That the flock have not been deluded by the shepherd , however , let Thursday night , the" 24 thof October , 1841 , prove ; while the fact that the preachers of Glasgow form an exception to those of the rest of Scotland is fully
established . At Greenock , Mr . Thompson ; at the Vale of Leven , Mr . Thomason ; in Edinburgh , Mr . Lowery ; at Pundee / , John Duncan | at Anbroath , Abraham Duncan ; and , though last , not least , at Kilbarchan , John Wallace M'Crae . I have added Wallace to his name myself , as James Moir Bays he always reminds him of what Wallace ' s appeals must have been to Scotchmen . Now , these six good men are all Chartist preachers ; but they preach not exclusive Chartist theology , and the result of their teaching and preaching is , that their districts are the best united in Scotland , while they are universally beloved by their own order , and respeoted though hated , by both Whigs and Tories .
This conspiracy of Brewster * s has been long in embryo , and many who have secretly cherished a hope of its success , have yet to make atonement or bear exposure . What think you of the consistency and courage of Brewster , who , in the same breath , on the night of the 24 th , said , " No , I don't charge Mr . O'Connor teith being a false man ; I believe him to be a true man , and a good man , but a misguided man" ; and in a moment after , when he found that blarney was no go , he blustered out , " Well , then , I arkjlign him is i traitoe 1 " Was there not much clerical finesse in the words
" well THE * . " Did he not mean , I will dress the dish to your palate if I can ; and if not , I will at all events , appear to die game . Having said so much of the Chartist parsons and the flocks , let ub now tarn for a moment to the Teetotal abstajnexa and their Committees . It WAR to the COMMIT * TEES of the TOTAL ABSTAINERS , and to the Teetotallers that the wily Churchman made his appeal for means to get hid of Fea . bgus
O'Consoz . But to the honour of even the Committees , they in most instances answered bis appeal by sending addresses as far as fifteen and even twenty miles from their bodies to be presented to me . Thus hare I proved myself a troe prophet as to the use which wily knaves would endeavour to make of Church Chartism and Teetotal Chartism , while the knaves themselves have been frustrated ia their desire to use an unripe fruit .
My friends , you will best recognise the value of our triumph over Brewster in the fact , that the Whig press taking his lying representations of the Paisley meeting as truth , are full of exultation ; while not a word of the Dumfries , Aberdeen , and Glasgow drubbings has defiled their columns . No , no , that is not the fitting food for the organs of faction . 1 have much to say and little space to say it just aow ; therefore , I must run from subject to subject , and my next shall be the coming Scottish Convention . By all means I trust that the fustian jackets will attach doe and sufficient importance to the election
of delegates , and will not allow the nation to be insulted by a state priest occupying all the time allowed for discussion in tbe abuse of better men than himself . I mean the abase of suoh men as John M'Crea and Mr . Melville , of Markinch , and others ; and I further hope and trust that no more Halley's will be sent to watch the National Petition in its presentation . Indeed , the election of delegates to the forthcoming Convention , is for England and Scotland , matter of the very deepest import . If one fault more than another injured us in our first endeavour , it was the careless and untuarded manner
in which meetings allowed Mr . this , Mr . that , and Mr . the other to nominate delegates without a moment ' s previous notice ; and believe me now , that a lot of chaps , who like Mahomet's tomb are suspended between the new and old move , much inoliaing to the former if they dared , will be proposed as fit and proper delegates ; but we must be on our guard . Let us have none but tried men ; good men , sound men , brave men , prudent men , and , above all , I do hope and trust that the working men in each locality
will demand a sufficient time to canvass the merits of candidates , and that they will not send a single man to London upon whose principles , honour , and fidelity they have not a most perfect reliance . Here I must be allowed to express my delight upon learning that those two good men and brave men , Messrs . Moir and Proudfoot , have been elected to represent Glasgow ; how glorious to find the real working men thus selecting persons of undoubted zeal , courage , and taleuv , to represent them .
Next week I commence my English tour for Bignatures and enlisting recruits for our Association ; and as the cards of admission furnish all the means upon which the Executive can rely , I have a right to expect a rich harvest for them from my coming labour . I ought to be able to add , at least , fifty thousand sew members to oar several Associations , as it is my intention to remain at tbe close of each meeting to receive signature * to the petition , member * to tb © association , and then to perform a work
of well-merited kindness to a friend . I will here mention it . No man on the face ot the earth has been more honest , zealous , and persevering in his devotion to the people's cause than Dr . M'DoualL No act has been more serricable than his defence , * and now we must testify our approval substantially . I find that his all is gone , while be has several duties—domestic duties to perform . It is his wish and the desire of his Chartist friendB , that he should be established in his profession at Manchester ; and ,

Dean Taylor preachod a 8 ermonnn Lot »« bixHfough Market-place , ou Sunday , the 14 th of November , to a crowded audience . BATH . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . G . Bartlett delivered a discourse on the importance of , necessity fpr , « d- » dF » nt » ge « remUhagftwa free enquiry , to s highly rwpMtable audience Yn the room of the Char * tist ¦ Association , Bath . STOCKPORT . —Mr . Donovan , of Manchester , lectured on Sunday evening . Great distress' still pervades this unhappy town .
HANIiEY . —Public Me eting to " congratuiatb" the Queen . —A placard appeared on the walls of this town , calling a public meeting of the inhabitants to take into consideration the best means , of testifying our loyalty to our gracious Queen , and celebrating the auspicious event of the birth of an heir to the throne . The Chartists here felt that this would be a most favourable opportunity of proving their loyalty to their Sovereign , and attended in considerable numbers , prepared either to support an address from those calling the meeting , if they could approve of such address , or if they could not support that address , then to propose an amendment , or otherwise move an address of their own . Eleven o ' clock was the time appointed by the Chief Bailiff ,
E . J . Rtdgway , Esq ., for the time of meeting , when , without ever being proposed , he , sans ceremonie , took the chair , and opened the meeting by reading the placard , and then introduced Mr . G . Fourdrancer to the meeting . Of course we expected to have heard from that gentleman something like an address to her Majesty , when , to the surprise of the people , he proposed a public subscription by the people , to provide a public feast to some few favoured individuals , in a public Marketplace . Every one contributing to the fund should be provided with tickets to the amount of his subscription , and be at liberty to distribute euoh tioketa according to his own pleasure . During his address , several voices exclaimed " We want tustice ; " "None of your charitable
guzzles ; uive us our rights , and then we can provide ourselves with all we want . " The gentleman then submitted , through the chair , that suoh a subscription be instantly entered into . On this being put to the meeting , only very few hands were held up ; but , on the contrary , a forest of palms was hedd up . Here the Chief Bailiff ; declared tho meeting ufc a close , and instantly the whole Whig and Tory clique , parson and all , abruptly left the meeting . After Mr . Ridgway had left the meeting , our friend , Mr . Samuel Bebbington , was called onto preside , who , in a Bhort but neat speech , called on our old friend , Brother Richards , who immediately came forward and addressed the meeting . He lamented that the Chief Bailiff , and those calling the meeting ,
should so soon desert their post ; and argued that , if their loyalty was no better than their courage , why , then , the Queen would have but sorry defenders , lor the gentlemen ran away before one single shot bad been fired , or * single unpleasant word been expressed . He next adverted to the distressed state of the country , shewingthat whilst the Queen had every comfort , thousands of our beloved countrywomen were suffering the severest sorrows , when they should have bean in a comfortable state . He next read from the Northern Star the Birih Extraordinary , and the contrast at the foot of the paragraph , commenting in his usual style on the extremes of luxury and destitution , made manifest in that contrast , and then read an address congratulating her Majesty upon the
auspicious event , " informing her that thousands of virtuous and modest women were passing through like natural extremities upon bads of straw , without even a pillow whereon to lay their heads ; that starvation and misery were pervading the whole land ; attributing this state of things to class legislation ; and praying her Majesty to instruct her Ministers to pass the People's Charter into a law ; further praying that her Majesty would at this period of Providential interference for her own safety , remember tho sufferings of Frost , Williams , and Jones , for whom thousands of her subjects were in mourning , and recall them to their homes and families . The Rev . W . V . Jackson , from Manchester , is a most masterly and eloquent manner , satirized the conduct
of the callers of the meeting by their running away , showing that had they but possessed the courage of a mouse they would have stopped through the meeting and have seen the upshot of the whole . Mr . J . Capper , from Tawtall , followed , and in a humourous stile lampooned without mercy the conduct of men who called the poor Chartists dishonest men ; and yet themselves , many of them , had found their way into the Gazette , and paid 3 s . 6 d . in the pound for all their debts . Three defeaning cheers were then Kiven for Feargus O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for the Charter , and the meeting quietly dispersed to their own homes ; thus proving to tho whole nation , thai When the Chartists are united tbeyaremore than a match for Whig , Tory , and all opponents .
NOTTINGHAM . —On Tuesday , the 9 th instant , Mr . J . Murray , of Manchester , lectured in the Democratic Chapel , Rice-place , Booker-gate , to a most crowded audience , Mr . J . Wall in the chair . Mr . Murray endeavoured to shew that a total repeal of the Corn Laws would prove a panacea for all our manifold national evils . The working men were not to be cajoled by suoh sophistries , and at the conclusion of the lecture , Mr . Russell moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Barber : —" That this meeting is of opinion , that the Corn Laws were the enactment of bat a small portion of the nation , therefore , unjust , ifaiquiton ^; and ought to be repealed ; but if repealed under existing circumstances , an irresponsible government could enact other equally cruel * nd unjust laws ; and further , in the opinion of this meeting , no measure short of the People ' s Charter , could put the working classes in a position to protect their labour . " To

They have got a . hundred copies Of tho Petition , Which they leave one day at so many honses , and then change them , asking for signatures when they call for the petitions .

6 a » Explosion . —Considerable alarm was excited on Wednesday evening last , by an explosion of gas at No . 1 , St . James ' s-street . The family had beea annoyed all tne afternoon from an escape of gas , but neglected to take any steps to have it remedied , until about half-past five , when a person applied a light near the sink pipe ia a cupboard , and an immediate explosion took place . The Gas Company ' s men were promptly at the place , and , upon examin ation found the main pipe broken , which had beea occasioned by the sinking of the ground after
a branch drain from the house iato the common sewer had been made , the parties haying neglected to support- the main in iia original position . We think the above circumstance is a strong motive for increased care and vigilance on the part © f the Water and Gas Companies , the former by the greatest care to prevent damage to the gas pipe $ , either from present breakage , or the subsequent settling of the ground ; and the latter to use every possible care in having thsir mains and branches properly repaired and made secure when . the trenches are open .

Suspecting something wrong , the policeman inquired what they bad got , and was answered " Nothing . " He , however , searched both of them and found the coin produced . He then took them both into custody , and on searching the man's . heree , in York-street , ho found some paper and cord corresponding exactly with that in which the coin was wrapped and tied up . The parties said they had found the bag . They were committed for trial .
Stealing a Top Coat . —On Saturday , a little girl from Boot and Shoe Yard , named Catharine Walsh * was brought before the Borough Justices ( having been remanded from Wednesday ) oa » ohftrge of having stolen » ne « r ooat , the property « f Mr .

Leeds Enumeration Committee . —This body are still pursuing their labours with zeal and alacrity and are instrumental in weekly developing further cases of real unmitigated distress , in . addition to those appalling scenes which have boen already detailed . Their indefatigable exertions merit great praise , and . we are sure the manner in which their business is transacted , and their fonds expended is unexceptionable . We make these remarks from personal observation , in consequence of the receipt , in the : early part of the present week , of a rather ill-natured letter , professing to have been written by " An Enumerator ;" to whose charges we shall no further refer than to
point out to him one instance he adduces , which be must have known when he wrote it , was not correct . We allude to the statement that Mr . Ayrey had received £ 1 for the use of his room , in which the Committee meet twice weekly . It is true that a sovereign was unanimously voted to Mr . Ayrey , and , it was also tendered to him ; butitsacoeptaaoe waacefused , Mr . Ayrey generously offering the free use of his room for the committee ' s use at any time , fit should bo remembered also , that their funds come slowly in , and they are necessarily , therefore , oompeUed to be very careful in their outlay . The » following letter will present to our readers the proceedings of the committee subsequent to the report Q » esented to the late public meeting ;—
