This inoney is called the Annual O * 6 onneQ Tribute and ' is . Terr much wanted at " present , to sustain him in office , as Governor of the National Bank of Ireland , and
principal of the CConneQ Teetotal Brewery . There are many persons in England under the impression khit Mr . ( PConnelPs u twenty saillin £ s *> sapport of Irish mairafscturB , has hid the effect of reviving trade and miimfaeturea in Irelaodysevei ' al of whom have come . over here , in the hope of obtaining employment as operatives , some of whom having totni to -their cost , that that too is delusiou , applied to "the Lord Mayor within the last week for the means to return to . England . / Bat this application was indignantly and scornfully refused . The want of Mr . Shaman Crawford ' s Irish Landlord aird Tenant Bill is unfortanately beginning to manifest itself , in the shooting of seme heartless landlords , who have turned ont their tenantry without
any compensation fer the houses they built , or the waste lands they reclaimed . This is what the Right Hen . Richard Lalor Shea calls " -wild justice . ' — Correspondent . . The Ieish UxrvEBSjiL SirrrajiQK Association held their usual meeting on Sunday last ,. at their great room , No . U , North Anne-street , Mr . William Woodward in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting ; he also read letters Crota Mr . T . Clarke , of Stockport , and from Mr . A . BaSrstow , of Droylsden , Manchester , iK > th letters testifying the" good disposition the people of England have towards their suffering brethren in Ireland , and giving a melancholy account of the . condition of the working classes , and proving that nothing short of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter can
remedy this present wretched condition ^—Mr . OTirggins rase and read a letter requesting him to propose as members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , three mo . « t respectable freeholders of the county of Longford , Mr . James H ^ yes moved'the admission of Mr . Walter Fortune and Mr . William Winters , Mr . Wood rose and said , that be had been lately to Scotland , and ha i there seen the great friend of the productive" classes , Feargus O'Connor , and had learned from that gentleman that when he had made his toirr of Seoiland , he would visit "his dear native land . " Mr . O'Connor was everywhere except at
the Corn Exchange acknowledged to be the working m * s * B friend ; and it was because lie advocated those principles which alone can ameliorate their present aifd future condition that he was maligned and hated by the enemies of public liberty . Mr . Wood went into a lucid statement of facts , respecting the conduct of Mr . O'Connor and his disinterestedness , which called forth the plaudits of the meeting . " . Mr . Wood concluded a most effective speech by moving that Fcargu 3 O'Connor , Esq ., be admitted . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Dyat rose and said , it was with peculiar pleasure he seconded the motion of Mr . Wood . It was rather anomalous that Mr . O'Connor
should be the leader of the mullioas of Englishmen and Scotchmen , and as yet without a place in their association , lie was surprised how any Irishman could be so blinded by ~ prejndice as not to see with adoiration their fellow countryman so grounded in the confidence , and so high in the estimation of the" people 01 Great Britain . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . O Connor was as yet impeccable as a patriot ; he . had neither accepted any thing for himself , nor provided for his connexions , as others hiH done . All he had gat was akaas , persecution , smtI a most severe and unjust imprisonment . His
energies , however , seemed only strengthened , and he-was now strenuously engaged in a work the most magnificent , as well as tbe moev virtuous , which it ever fell to the lot of man to perform ^ -tbe political elevation and moral enlightenment of the people . Other political leaders had sought , and were seeking , changes for the' benefit of classes , but Mr . OT-onnor struggled for the people . He sought to effect a junction with the Irish Repealers . Woe to those , said Mr . Dyot , who abused the influence bestowed on them by a credulous and confiding people , vo prevent such junction . ( Hear . ) But Mr . O'Connor should learn that there were- m Ireland
men who were too acuteto be deluded or deceived ; who appreciated the aid proffered by the Chartists of Greai Britain , and were ready to make common cause with those with whom thev bad . common interests . ( Hear , hear . ) Their association wag rapidly ramificatins through the country , and every meeting day new members were enrolled . The expositions made in that room were so lucid as to carry conviction to any man not obstinately adverse to troth and good sense . He hoped the daj was not far distant when they should have a press in Dublin to represent them ; then would this Association advance and astound and confound the enemies of the productive classes , whose interests alone onght to be agitated for by , at least , those whom they pay . fie was proud to be instrumental in
affording their fellow-countryman this mark of their sympathy , respect , and confidence ; and he had no doubt they would admit Mr . O'Connor with acclamauon and cneers . Mr . Wood again rose and said , he had another Irishman to propose for admission , * an Irishman , though in an humble sphere , was distinguished in the country in which he resided for his iufi * xible integrity , sterling patriotism , and great talent , Mr . Con Murray , the nailor , member of the Lanark Universal Suffrage Association . ( Great cheering . ) Mr , James Hayes claimed the honour as a brother chip , of seconding the admission of Mr . Murray . Mr . Michael M'Quaid , of Liverpool , was admitted a member ; after which he was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated .
PRESTON . —On Monday evening last , a very numerous and respectable meeting was held in the Chartist Room , Avenham-street , to take into consideration the alarming state of the country , with a view to some efficient remedy , and the adoption of a petition to Parliament , expressive of the wants and wishes of the meeting . Mr . R . Walton being unanimously called to the chair , opened the meeting by " observing that he hoped every one would be beard with patknee , whatever mi&ht be his political opinions . —Mr . E . Swindlehurst then rose , and in a very energetic speech pointed , out the unjust power of class legislation , its consequences upon the rights of kbonr , and the inevitable destruction it caused to the happiness of the country , and- moved the
following resolution-: — "That ; in the opinion of this meeting , the alarming distress that prevails throagb our once happy land , and most of the evils that afflict society , is caused by class legislation ; and beiDg convinced that taxation , without representation , is tyranny , we hereby pledge ourselves to united and unceasing exertions to obtain the People ' s Charter as a means of preventing future abuses iu alt oar institutions , raising the productive classes to their proper position in society , and by thus removing cause for discontent , enable all to five in peace and eomfort . " Mr . J . Murphy seconded the resolution , and made some excellent remarks on the objects ot faction and party who had endeavoured to direct the attention of the wording classes from their agitation
for the Charter , and concluded by advising them to join no agitation , short of the one thing needful , the People ' s Charter . Mr . R . Marsden was then introduced to the meeting , and for upwards of an hour , made a withering exposure of our present system of OaTcrament , w bich patronised extravagance , pr < iii : gacy , and injustice ; showed op the monopoly of the land , cnurch , army , navy , and the whole paraphernalia of the system . He then explained , in a masterly manner , the five points of the Charter , and the necessity of their adoption ; and implored his hearera to make another determined , legal , and constitutional struggle for their long-lost rights , without which their situation would never be better . A person in the body of the meeting then rose , acd commenced a very lengthy address upon the evils of the Corn Laws . He was listened to with great patience a considerable time , until he commenced telling his hearer * there w « s do
hope in carrying the Charter , and advised them to join- the middle classes for a repeal of the Cora Laws . A scene of confusion then arose , when the Chairman wished to know if the person who had last addressed them had any amendment to propose against the resolution ; for h « conceived that , baring now occupied a considerable portion of the tine of the meeting , and it being now getting late , he ought , in cour tesy for those who had to attend the call of the factory bell , early in the morning , detist from his present proceeding on this occasion , except he had a decided object in view . Mr . Odleum then rose , and informed the meeting , that if there . were any persons in the room who en- teruinedJ ; he opinion that an agitation for the re-JkMtaf jfipfCorn Laws was preferable to an agita- ; ttepfor tfee-tTnamr , he would meet them in di .-custion , ifj& fkc ie ^ ve of the Council , on Sunday evening next ,, This proposition appeared to give ; geofiralaa&fiMUon ; and the anti-Corn Law party j

Kexghxiev.—Easter Dues.—On Thursday
KEXGHXiEV . —Easter Dues . —On Thursday
last , the sale of the goods forcibly taken from the houses of Mr . D . W . Weatherhead and Mr . Wm . Rhodes , for Easter dues , came off at the entrance of the Market-place . The nnsual spectacle of a minister of the gospel , in the receipt of upwards of £ 1000 per annum , being reduced to the necessity of seizing and selling his poorer neighbour ' s goods by force , caused a serious sensation , and by one o ' clock , the time of sale , -sbont two thousand persons bad collected on the spot to . witness the exhibition . After waiting impatiently about an honr , the goods were at last coaveyed to the place by a posse of those modem apostles of the church , auctioneer , bum-bailiffs and constables .
The appearance of these fellows with the plunder of honest and industrious people ' s houses in their hands , was too much for the crowd to boar , and a scene of tumult and confusion immediately commenced that baffles all description . A volley of groans and execrations was commenced and continued for about an hour , which entirely drowned the voices of the auctioneer and his assistants . At the exhibition of any of the goods , a pressure commenced that made it rather difficult for the salesman and his friends to keep their legs , during ; one of which . Sugden , the deputy constable * commonly called u Sweet Tit , " was prostrated full length on the clock catse . This temporary downfall of the great man , which some say was owing to his being drunk , broke the cas « and placed him for a short time at the tender mercies of the feet of the crowd , which , by his account .
paid frequent complement to his legs and person . He and his party , 'however , seemed determined to effect a Bale at all hazards * and after expo&ng the goods till the clock case was broken in pieces , and the mahogany table broken in two ; they were disposed of at the following prices : —The head ot the clock , which together with the case was worth £ 3 went off at 13 i ; the mahoeany table , 10 s . ; and the fragments of the clock case and writing desk , 2 ? . 7 d . —Sugden buying the two last lots himself , as nobody else seemed inclined to bid . This mark of clerical vengeance , which has destroyed several pounds worth of property , to recover two shillings of an imposition called Easter Dues , has by no means answered the Rector's purpose , as the same determination not to pay still exists .
HUDDEBSFXEXiD . —Highway Robbery . — On Tuesday evening last , Mr . George Turnbull , teadealer , while returning home on the Leeds road , was stopped by two men , and , after being knocked down and bis mouth stopped , was robbed of twopence halfpenny . The thieves were disturbed by the arrival of Mr . Beaumont , whom Mr . Turnbnll had only a short time previously parted from , or it is probable their booly might hwe been larger . BBh £ LDFORD—Impudent Robbkry—On Friday evening last , about seven o ' clock , two lads , about sixteen years of age , entered the shop of Mr . Hardcastle , Little Horton , and took a cheese weighing about twenty pounds , and a bladder of hog ' s lard , with which they got clear off . Mr . Hardcastle came out of the house and saw them going across tbe road , but did not know his loss till they had made their escape .

He also gave th « Dissenters a severe castication , particularly the Methodist parsons , and concluded by pointing out tbe " People ' s Charter" as a remedy for all their grievances . Mr . Arran was then called npon , and appealed to them
as a reading and thinking body of men and women ; he made a manly and feeling appeal to them on the misery , starvation and wretchedness of the labouring population of Bradford and its vicinity , and of the industrious poor throughout England . He then glanced at the conduct of tbe Whiga , and the agitation for the Reform Bill , and ably exposed their hypocrisy , villany , and treachery towards the working millions . He exhorted all present to join the National Charter Association . The meeting then separated greatly delighted with the lectures .
Manchester Road . —Mr . Henry Hodgson delivered an able and argumentative lector © on Sunday last , at five o ' clock , at ths house of Mr . White .

A public meeting was held on Friday evening , at the Working Man's Hall , Circus-street , Marylebone , to h « ar an address from the Irish patriot :, Bronterw O'BHeii . ' , v ' Mr . Naolb was called to the chair , and in a brief and pithy manner opened the proceedings . ' Mr . Savage , in an appropriate speech ; moved the adoption of the following address to her Majesty the Queen : — :
" Matt it please toua Majesty , —We , most respectfully tender to your Mtrijesty our congratulations on your safe delivery from the perils pf nature , and on the auspicious birth of a son , destined in all probability to be the future king of these Realms ; while we , in common with the other classes of society , do rejoice in the hope that this event may prove a blessing to the nation , we earnestly desire that your Majesty may be pleased t « mark this happy occasion by the exercise of mercy to the political prisoners now , under
punishment for a violation of the laws of this land . We humbly beg to assure your Majesty that the muchneglected , much oppressed , long-suffering , but very numerous class of the community to which we belong , having to ' gain our livelihood by the individual exercise of our labour , would hail the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native country , and the free pardon of all political oflendeis , as a boon never U be forgotten , and would raise millioBs of voices in prayer and praise to almighty God for blessings upon your Majesty and your children to all generations . "
Mr . Lees , in an eloquent speech , seconded the address , which was put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously . Mr . O'Brien then came forward and was loudly cheered . He said—Men and Women of Marylebone , I have been requested to come up to London to assist its working men in carrying out the " new movement" against those who oppress and burden them . During the last forty-five days I have addressed forty-one great public meetings ; I have travelled through the counties of Yorkshire , Westmoreland , Lancashire , and Cheshire . Every where I have found a spirit of zeal existing ; true , there ia not that intense feeling of excitement which at one time characterised the movement , but it is a spirit of steady , well-regulated seal , whieh prdmiseB still better for the cause . Wherever I have been I
have found great distress existing ; wagea have been reduced to an enormous extent ; they ate not receiving , in many of the manufacturing towns , so muoh as in 1828 . In Huddersfield , for work whioh they then received Si , th » y how receive only 2 Jd . In Wigan , Colne , Stockport , &o ., the bandloom weavers are labouring twelve or fourteen hours a day for from 43 . to 6 s . per week , arid thousands cannot , even at that rale , procure employment . The only town which is ah exception to this is Todmorden , a little town , partly in Lancashire , and partly in Yorkshire ; here the » r wages were comparatively good , averaging about 6 s . 9 d ., and this they chiefly owe to the beneficent exertion ' s of Mr . Fielden , M . P . ; and when we find that the
only town where wages are at all kept up , is that where they are under the employ of a Chartist Member of Parliament , it argues strongly in favour of ft general adoption of out principles . Mr . Fielden is one of the largest manufacturers in that part of the country . I have seen 1 , 058 looms at work in one of his factories ; the distress which prevails iff so great and dreadful , that something must immediately be done . At Stoekport the spinnersare not employed half time , and are only receiving 17 s . for labour for which they formerly received £ 2 . In Carlisle a deputation of the weavers waited on me , assuring me that their wages were only 5-. 2 d . per week , and out of this they had to pay is . for rent of loom , and to pay 2 d . ia the shilling for winding . It is impossible
that these men , by aay exertions , could keep out of a workhouse , were it not that their wivea and children were compelled to be factory slaves—compelled to do men's work to eke out their miserable subsistence . Men of Marylebone , daring my imprisonment 1 had determined to leave this country , and retire toIAmenca—not te abandon the movementthat I never will do but with life ; but to do there tor the cause what I could not do here . , I have seen so muoh of apathy on the part of the people—so much treason on the part of the leaders , that I became almost hopeless of effecting any good . Foi the last ten years I have kept struggling against every species of opposition ; I have been more opposed by those of my own order than even by our bitterest
enemies . ( A voice— ' * By working men ?") No , not by working men , but men of my own grade in society—men who come amongst you—who seek your meetings to divide and sow jealousies amongst you . You must get rid of these men ; they usurp tho allegiance due to principle alone . Look at the old Convention ; one-half deserted the cause , the other half were employed in calumniating each , other—the half of which were either rogues or fools . Oae party were a set of moral-force humbugs , the other physical-force tools . The only good measure which woald have ensured success , that whioh I proposed to them , which was the plan of forming electoral clubs , they rejected . Mr . O'Brien here entered into a long detail of the doings of the old Convontion , stating that he had opposed the National
Holiday—that he advised the people of Birmingham not to meet in the Bull Ring , and yet he was made the scape-goat of the party , and was called the most violent man of the age , through the follies and treachery of tbose who had deserted them . When 1 read in the Sun newspaper at Newcastle of the massacre of the people of Birmingham , I advised them to arm ; to arm to the teeth , but to be cautious hot to use their arms , unless a similar attack was mode upon them . I told them they had a right to the possession of arms , but they had no right io bring them to meetings or to parade them in the streets . They were for the defence of their homes and their property : but when a set of irresponsible
magistrates acted in defiance of the laws , as they had done at Birmingham , then they had a perfect right to use them anywhere or everywhere , rather than see the many slaughtered by the few ; and for this advice I was tried . On my first trial I got acquitted , after a three hours' crosB-examintion , clearly proving the perjury and inconsistencies of the witnesses . But at my Beoond trial at Liverpool , I was convicted on an indictment , charging me with obstructing the due exercise of the laws , resisting the constituted authorities , and breeding routs , riots , and rebellion ; convicted by twelve middleclass jurymen , for making a speech as strictly legal as was ever spoken in that ** honourable house , " the House of Commons , On the foreman of the
jury being asked if they agreed on their verdict , without a moment ' s hesitation , he answered , " Yes , my Lord , Guilty , guilty ; '' and that with a voice which seemed to say he ahonld like to execute as well as to convict me . One of these jury men , and I believe the ' same one , had previously said it was nonsense to try these Chartists—they had ought to be shot or hung at once . What chance had I of a fair trial , with suoh a jury , when Captain Plunket and his companions were dearly proved to have done that with whioh I was only accused of breeding routs , riots , and rebellions . The Jury hesitated six hours , and then accompanied their verdict with a recommendation to mercy . I for making a good speech , received eighteen months '
imprisonment , and , before I could regain my liberty , had to find bail for £ 800 . They , for actually bringing the soldeira m collision with the police , one was let off at the expiration of three , the other six months , whilst a poor man of the name of Cronan , for a similar assault upon a policeman , is now enduring his sentence of three years' imprisonment . ( Shame . ) Mr . O'Brien then entered into an interesting detail of his arresta in London , and of the -manner in which the Jury , at Liverpool , bad been prejudiced against him—of the scandalous manner in whioh he had been misrepresented in the press * and stated the manner in which he had been mUreDretented . even in the Diners with which he
bad himself been connected ; paragraphs having been inserted aa Editorial eonHcnta , which ha had never soeo oadl they appeared in print . Such was the difficulty to conduct a truly honest paper , that if you surmounted all the diffleulties of sureties , * c , even your own printer would turn traitor to you . This was bad enough from your enemies , but yon did expeot better treatment from your friends . There was one circumstance he was sorry to mention ; but justice to himself compelled him . If he was continually to be harassed in this manner , he would leave the country . He would not be made a tool in the hands of any party ! and ho called upon the people to protect him ; 1 have seen Dr . M'Douall this evening , and he informs me of a paragraph in the Northern

Mr . NAOtE—I wasfln tbe Committee ,-and aaaddnwi was brought before us , which we ipproved of but by some means th « re was a difference in the ad- > dress when it was read at the Crown and Anchor . Howl can't say . Mr . O'Brien entirely dfinonncod the address , and tore it to pieces . Mr . O'Brien—Our friend has committed a trifling error . I did not denounce the address , but repudiated it . Parties who try to do me more than justice , and others less than jnstico , do , me a serioue injury . No doubt it was done with a friendly intent , bat suoh friendship is more dangerous than enmity . If I ever opposejQ'CQonor , it uhall be opposition to principle , and not to the man . Mr . O'Connor is the < 5 nly man who has ever established " a
realRadicalnewspaper ; Jie has ; rendered the most brilliant services to the cause , and 1 will never be induced to oppose him unless he deserts , his principles . ( Mr . O'Brien here stated the immense difficuUieshe had experienced in endeavouring to establish a paper , and the reasons of their failure , instancing that inSt . Paucias , out of thirty-five news agents , only two could be induced to sell his paper , and one of tb , ese only dare do it in a private manner . ) I feel therefore the necessity of supporting a paper , when once we have it iu existence . It is my solemn conviction that it the Northern Star goes down , the movement will go down . I consider that man to be my most mortal enemy who would attempt to bring me in collision with Mr . O'Connor . I do not
agree with many things he has said or done . I did not agree with ' his pro-Tory policy at the la . te elections . I differed , from 'princi p le with' hi in , and though in prison I put that policy down . I appeal to Mr , Hogg whether I did not suppress the attempt made by a friend the other evening at the Chartist Hall , Old Bailey , to bring me into a similar collision . It has been stated tnat I am at the head of getting up this subscription for a press ; it is as false as a similar statement going through Scotland , that I am a confirmed drunkard : I am neither at the head nor the tail of it . I considered that address not only aa an insult to Mr ; O'Connor , but also to the Dundee Chronicle , Scottish Patriot , and other papers . I do not wish to dissuade any one from starving another paper ; there have been papers as good as the Star , but they have not contained so
much Radical news ; but it is madness to bring parties into collision who should march together ; it iB evident that some parties wish to injure me through the Star , or the Star through me . It shall never be said O'Brien raised himself on the ruins of another man . I might make £ 1500 a year by my profession as a lawyer . I renounced , all to advance the cause of the people . ( Cheering . ) I call upon the person who seat the address , and the person who sent the report , to write immediately to the Star , that justice may be done me next week . I shall myself write to Huddersfield to inquire how fiat address went to the Star . I never sent an address 'myself . I am not fond of putting myself . I ask those persons who ftent the report and the address , and they are now in the room , to inquire how the enly two addresses I have rejected found their way 'to the Star . ' ¦ - " ¦ ' ¦
' Mr . Wheeleb , London Correspondent to the Star , explained , that in consequence of Mr . Carrier ' s benefit taking place on the same evening as the Crown and Anchor meeting , he was not able to attend , but Mr . Cleave engaged a person to report , who had done so , but the address being rejected , he had not cent it ¦ •'; it had been sent by Borne other person . ' Mr . O'Brien . —I cali upon you , as authorised agent , to eee that I have justice done me next wtek . It unfortunately happens that I am either reported by fools , who cannot understand the subjects I am speaking upon , ' or by knaves , who are interested in calumniating me . 1 have tor the last nine years been made a victim of these collisions . "I have been incessantly annoyed by moral force humbues or
Dbvsical force rascals , and if we do not keep strict watch we shall be split again into sections by these parties They denounced me a- coward because I was not suoh an ass as to give the Government a month ' * notice we intended to put the Government down ; to give the manufacturers a month's notice we intended to pull down the system by which they , had raised their wealth . I opposed every , violent motion on that Convention , as the Minute Book shows ; yet am I denounced as a violent blood-thirsty demagogue ; and why is this ? Because , as Lord Normanby says , I am the most dangerous of the lot . You . know lam called the schoolmaster , and by the papers I have edited , and the writings I have disseminated , I have made such scholars as
Viooent , Duncan , M'Crao , Lowery , and others whom I would pit as speakers , as men nderstanding the principles of government , against any in that highly respectable House of Commons . Before my time tt was the fashion to lay ail our grievances to a few , to this party jn power , or the other party in power ; but I have taught the people to know that their grievances do not result from a few lords , priests , or Commons being in power , but from a whole class of the community being opposed to them . The only class of men identified with you are the small shopkeepers who live by your pence ; but the interest of the large shopkeeper , of the manufacturer , is as opposed to yours aa light is to darkness . Their interest is to give yon as little wages as possible , and to
purchase articles at the cheapest possible rate . If their interest is similar to yours , how is it that they accumulate their half million of capital , while you cannot procure the necessaries of life t Why , if your interests are the same , have you not progressed in an equal manner 1 It is : because yon have not got the vote ; they know this is the remedy , and they never will grant it you until they see you are prepared to take it . It was because 1 claimed for you a right to stand on the same platform with them that I was convicted by a middle-class Jury ; I would not trust to the sense of a middle-class Jury for the meanest thing . Those men , who are capable of robbing you of your rights , are capableialso of robbing you of your lives , if you oppose their interest . An
honest man of the middle class would not sit as a Juror upon a working man ; he woald consider that his interest was opposed to yours—that his wealth was procured out of your bones and sinews , and therefore he could not be impartial on any subject whioh affected the interests of his order . But with the small shopkeepers the oase is different ; it is their interest that you should earn plenty of money , in order that you may have plenty to spend '; and if their skulls were not so confoundedly - thick—if a stupid class pride had not rendered them so insane as to be within one degree of Saiut Luke ' s , they would , ere now , have-joined 'with you . Mr . O'Brien then , in an able manner , - w « nt into the subject of the land arid the currency
questions . He trusted the day was not far distant when the most apathetio would oatch the Bpiritof liberty . It is impossible men- can much longer remain in such cruel poverty . All I dread is , that some villany will bring yoa in collision with the law . You must keepoutof the reach ^ f the law , because it is too strong for you ; but once create the moral union we are striving for , and the law will stand abashed and confounded—will crumble to pieces before yonr gigantic power . Like the fable of the serpent biting the file , it will bring on itself its own destruction . In conclusion , I require every man and woman to sign the National Petition—get every one yon come in contact with to sign it . Tell the shopkeepers
where you deal that your duty to your family will not allow you to deal with them unless they sign that document . I request the people here to inform others that th © address was sent to the Star without my knowledge , that I objected to it , and tore it to pieces . I require the Reporter of the Star to insert my statement respecting it , and on a future occasion shall be happy again to meet with my Marylebone friends . ( Much cheering . ) Mr . Hogg moved , and Mr . Savage seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Brien . Three cheers were given for the Northern Star , three for the Charter , three for signatures to the Petition , and a Tote of thanks to the Chairman , concluded the business of the meeting . :
fin reference to this report , we have only to observe that we have made it a point , suice Mr . O'Brien's liberation ,, to give eyery word sent to us of hie movements . If , therefore , ihere be any cause for , ^© plaint , it will probably be manifest who has it , A single line from Mr OBrien , sta tin * that the addresses to which he refers had been rejected would have prevented their insertion : we should" have been yen thankful te bare the » pace coupied by theiafbt other pufpo « fl .-ED .
