TO FEABGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . ( Continuedfrom oar lati . J The people of this country are by no means prepared far nteb an orertnre ; then trhzt are they prepared tot I on sxcosb the WMpfo ? the !* s ! leB <» oa this m £ , knowing flat thej have a method of managing -p ^ n eb dreumstae * . lEey can , as usual , declare ^ jpinrt some foreign power similarly situated m gjenarfres , which st once pro-rides avocations for the -gperilmfidant , starring , obstreperous population of £ &er psrtr ; then the field of jrtrifeehallcare the evil , ^ te era pvHngnfcn tWompWct . of aU who cannot -grenieoUy ** prodded for . otherwise ; while the pegbooae and bastile we available for the aged and j-fen , which is all satisfactory enough , in as far as the

Yon have Jgva said too little , or too mudi ; too Bach to allow any —^ to la » d us into the golf unawares ; and too little to 2 fele us to perceive by what means we cm avoid it . Is u ^ iiy rennd the People's Charter your answer V Ihen j ^ k , ean men exist on the privileges granted by that faga&ent ? Were we to stand for the system of which {*! $ Charter is a part , we would consider onraelrea L [ 7 f « T way , and beyond the reach of being misled by -jrjwrty . 1 ° ***• meantime , Charter or not Charter ,
I bBl to remind you that if it is contemplated to destroy Ifl uoDopolies , a fair day * wage for a lair day ' s work " ¦ % false , ambiguous term , misunderstood by the tjoiest put , and should be simplified . If a " spade Jjut be called a spade , " give that its proper name ; Tfch & proper system , in view , I an aware Universal cefesLge would work to it , but I scarcely think this an be aBainedi " »^ tbe m&n 7 *™ bu oyed up by a j 2 fle dertore hope ; with this end in Tiew , Universal goftage is certain t » lead to disappointment and ruis . ffe h » Te heard enough concerning ur just monopolies , fct , and are now taught to hate them to the bait's core ; but we have not been taught that Siar repeal would destroy the resources by whieh gsree-fourths of tha population exist ; nor that ef the eozisUUiUon and that
tbeir repeal , is tha repeal ; Idon that t&n be effected , we most have another to £ H itJ room . Had thij side of the question been m vdl argued as the others , we had been in a fair way , long , ere now ; but because the faflin > nfoti « in the Qartist cause have been mute on the subject , the great £ odr , is opposition to their convictions and common pjedenee , not only overlook this most important of all points , as being unnecessary , but shun those who do , as ggji enemies , for . feax of disturbing the Chartist jaaeforsooth ! In opposition to which , I say , if the Cbir&t move is rightly consolidated , an inquiry of gj , mtare cannot disturb it , and if not , the BOOn . Br it p&stuxted , and its errors rectified , tin better . None as be blind to the fact , were the Charter attained ffli hoar , much misunderstanding and confusion would puns even among Chartists themselves , from having j » weD grounded ideas <« 7 wwning what is necessary ito * with it to establish our freedom .

tbe great body who think not , and would most U * jaredly vote for . ari « tocrat » , independent of til our { fcories .

In opposition to it improvement-go-on-teast , I have to say , the bktories of all the kingdoms of the earth have been sstdy the same ; they all spring up gradually to the aaopolising sjttem we are under ; but a rerj short time brought that system to a stage beyond which it tacld not pass , aad , because the people knew so other ijSem to adopt , down they all tumbled one after Bother , and were no more heard of ; such has been tht fato of Idumea , Chaldea , Jndea , Greece , and Rome ; Bdtsch is the fste Oat awaits us u &ert on the list , Soot promptly averted .

grounds to suppose that they contemplate anything else We have all along been told that the Charter is % cure for every evil , yet , after all , I beg to be excused , when I tell yon frankly , I doubt the truth of the assertion . As you are the first man in the Chartist movement , r have thought proper to call your attention to these miUar * , llllnt premstare to consider tbew things before , now 1 certainly think not a moment more is to be lost : the die is now thrown that will try the merits of Chartism . All pusillanimous attempts At improvement will now be laid aside , and Chartism well understood and directed with prudence and energy , may very speedily lead to results , too important and beaeficia ) to the human race , to be mooted in this painful and rather foreboding , communication .
Finally , I beg to remind yon it will not do , either with or without the Charter , to pull down the present system until another is propounded ; nor will the franchise ever be purified while that system exists . What is to ¥ « done must In the Srst place be understood . Ton are wrong if yon suppose yon cm drive the people of this country from one system to another , like a parcel Of ahaep . Say , then , what is to be the order of the day . Maithusir . nism or not ? monopoly , or not monopoly ? cooperation , or competition ? justice , or injustice ? What system is to be ours ? Is it any of those already in existence , or one not yet propounded ? A system we must have-not like Chartism , which is only a section of a system , but one perfect and complete , embracing all the arrangements of society . This much is
necessary , if justice shall rule and ptace be the result ; and , for the satisfaction of all parties , that none may be taken unawares concerning the results of Universal Suffrage , and for the promotion of the Chartist cauae , that it may be discussed , understood , and agreed upon , after which let the franchise come by itself , or along with the other parts of its kindred system ( which I have good reason to believe will at last be the cose -, ) either ""ay the eni will be certain and salutary . These things attended to , in the meantime , will do more for Chartism than a petition with tke names ef ten millions of Britain's sons adhibittd thereto .

THE STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . TO THE ED 1 T 8 B OP THE NORTHERN STAR , Sis , —As the circumstances of my misfortune at the new Houses of Parliament have been taken up by the masons , and as Mr . Allen , in denying the charges made against him , has thought fit to deny mine amongst the rest , I consider it my duty , in justice to the masons * nrt mjBelf , to give to Ihe public a true statement of the case . On the 13 th of February last , I was ascending a ladder with a stone in my arms , and when about te step
froHi the ladder to the scaffold one of the poles gave way ftd "" g against me , I fell to the ground , and had my leg broken ; I -was carried to the Westminster Infirmary on a hand-bMTOW . At the end of fourteen weeks I returned to the works , having so far recovered , I thought I should be able to resume my employment , and considering I had received my injury on the works , and being then lame , I hoped some sympathy would lw shewn towards me if I could not perform my dnties with the same alacrity I used to do before I received mj accident '
On the fifth day , as I -was dragging a heavy chain at the river front , George AUen , the foreman , came to me and said , " Wliy the h—I don't yon quicken along with that chain ? " I told him I was not able to perform my work with the same ability that I could before I received the accident ; he then called me a d—d lame cripple , and said that 1 was no use there . I replied , I was doing the best I could , and reminded him that I received my lameness on the -worka . Allen then " d—d my eyes , " aad bade me be off the ground immediately . I B&id I would inform Mr . Peto how ill he had used
me . Allen said if I was not off immediately be would kick me , using the same abusive language as before . I then went to the pay-clerk , and told him of the usage I had received from Allen , and asked him to give me the money that was due to me . While I was standing at the office Allen again came round , and with a flood of swearing called me " a d—d lame cripple ; " and Bald if I was not off the ground immediately he would send for a policeman to take me off I then left the works , and went to Mr . Chappie , Mr . Cnbitfs foreman , who , after hearing the usage I had received from Allen , immediately save me employment .
I have not been intfca employment of Messrs . Grissell and Peto since , as stated both by them and Allan , neither have I been able to make anything like full time since I received that accident ; this can be proved by Mr . Chappie , foreman to Mr . Cubitt , likewise by Mr . Irvine at Mr . Winsland ' s , both of wfcom have been most indulgent to me since I was discharged by George Allen . I am at present unable to work from the effects of the accident ; my ancle swells , and ia attended with extreme pain , ao thai 1 am compelled to keep to my bed generally three days a week , and am now confined to my bed through the accident which I received while employed at the new Houses of Parliament by Messrs Grissell and Peto , under the superiatendence of George Allen .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Ashton-under-Lyne , Nov . 22 nd . 1841 . Dear Sir , —By giving insertion to the following , yon will obl . 'ge me , and most likely the individual in whose behalf it is written . Yours , most respectfully , William aitken .
TO THE RADICALS OF ASHTON-UXDF . RLYNE . Friends and Felloe townsmen , —In consequence of an appeal being made by Feargua O . Connor , to those on whose behalf my friend M'Douall has suffered , I address this letter to you . It has long been a wish of mine that Dr . H'Daoall vroujd locate himself somewhere in the neighbourhood of Manchester , and follow his profession , but Circom stances of a pecuniary nature have hitherto prevented him . Our patriotic and truly philanthropic advocate Mr . O'Connor haB undertaken " to raise a loan of one bxndred pounds" to establish him in his profession at Manchester .
At ihe time cur agitation commenced for the Charter , he -was liTiug in Ramsbottom , and in professional language , was in " excellent practice , " but his extreme political opinions being hostile to the only manufacturer of note in that place , ( and who had antecedent to his taking np the peopie ' s cause , been his friend and patron ; of course did all he could to injure him in his profession , and he succeeded but too welL - His burning zeal in the cause of human regeneration , brought him before the noiico of the Radic- 'ls Of this
town , and he was accordingly eiectid to serve in the first Convention , which he did till it broke up , the greatest part of tfcs tima without receiving a penny froui Ashton or anywhere eisn . With or without pay he slackened not in his energy ft-r the public cauae , and although his all has been spent , he is still with you and for you . While some few were reaping a golden harvest , by appealing to the passions and superstitions of their hearers , he , the poor and fanatically maligned hones * , little fellow , was spending his time and his fortune .
And shall -we , tke men ol Ashton , see him and those vf ho are tndeared to him by every tie of human and divine , sink beneath the cruel gaze of the doubleheaded njonstcr , poverty and want ? I know that in spite 0 / a factions and miserably deluded opposition , the majority of my fellow-townsmen will answer " no ! if my mile can relieve him snd his , poor though we be , we will assist him . " A letter appeared a few months ago in the Slar , signed " A Sincere Chartist , " and nothing but the contempt I bad for the assassin in disguise , could have prevented me from answering it at the time . It would
have " passed by me like the idle winds , which I respect not , " bnt as I ain writing on behalf of the individual -whom be secretly atWcked , whom be mentioned " affected to belong to some of the learned professions , " I could not help noticing tti&t portion of his letter which assailed a man , whosa public and private conduct are as exalted as the ether's i * contemptible . This Billingsgate is t-a-o wtll kno-sn , even under an anonymous signature , to tscape the detection 0 * those who know him , but my excellent friend 31 'Douall is too dearly entwined round the innermost core of the majority of those who know Mm to suffer the least injury from such puny and jealous attacks .
In-conclusion , fellow townsmen , I have but to ask that which I have every reason to believe will be granted—pardon for intruding on you at the present time , but -whenever I Bee silent , suffering worth , my heart leans towards and bleeds for it with the nine devotion that yours will , for him on whose behalf I have thus , unknown to any but myself , made this appeal . I remain , fellow townsmen , Yours sincerely , In the cause of justice and humanity , W . AITKIN .

commenced a Joint Stock Coapany , by means of which , they intend , under the blessing of Providence , to accomplish the following ; ijmbcTs : i > t To wcure the independence of the members , by th « formation of a fund derived from the profits arising from the tale of various articles of general consumption . Snd . To provide employment for such members of the Company as may be out of work , as far as that maybe practicable , * nd iX' tfee same time , to secure tO the ftnblle , a good article at s reasonable cost .
3 rd . To allow the profits of every , kind of stock to accumulate until sufficient capital is obtained to purchase land and machinery , to be built upon , cultivated and employed for the general and equal benefit of the whole ; and also to erect and endow a school , in which ererj branch of human knowledge shall be taught to the children , mala and female , « f every shareholder . 4 th . To provide for the sick and aged , ao as to preclude the necowity of any application ( or parochial relief , aad at the same time securing the independence of each member , by giving him or her a bomfifo claim upon the superannuated members' fund , after a given number of years , without reference either to age or circumstance * The means by which they propose to accomplish these noble objects
are—1 st The money arising from the sale of shares , the value of which and the mode of payment shall b » as follows : — All persons becoming shareholders daring the first three months , commencing November 6 , 1841 , are to pay thirteen shillings and sixpence per share , that is one shilling on the night of entrance , and threepence per week for the ensuing twelve months , the weekly payments are bo be made on Saturday evenings , and any member neglecting to pay for one month will be fined threepence , and threepence for each succeeding month . If he neglects six months without giving to the directors a satisfactory reason for so doing , be will be excluded ,
and half the money he baa paid in will be forfeited . Any person entering during the three months must ; pay np bis arrears by an additional threepence per week upon each ahare he holds . After three months the value of the stock will be calculated , and divided according to the existing number of shares taken , and the price at which they shall be taken during the ensuing three months , will be determined on . After six months a new calculation of the value of shares will be made , and the price for the remainder of the year will be resolved on , after which the valuation of shares and their price will be determined Annually .
2 nd . The accumulation of profits arising from the various articles of consumption sold in the store or stores » f the company . 3 rd . The application of 20 per cent of the profits to one or more branches of lucrative industry , th 6 profits arising from the said branch or branches of trade to be after a certain time , not exceeding ten years , invested in the best kind of security in land or buildings , which can be obtained , the rents and other emoluments to accumulate during an additional term of ten years , and at the termination of two and twenty years , frem the 6 th day of November , 1841 , the annual income to bo called the superannuated member fund , shall be divided in eqnitab 5-3 proportions amongst the shareholders of 22 years standing ; securing to the families of deceased members their fair proportion , according to the time which the original shareholder had been a member . If the share is still retained in the family , the person holding it will , of course , stand as the original shareholder .
Members may hold five shares , but not more ; and , in order to secure the perfect equality ultimately of ail the members , it has been rtsolvad that every one shal ; purchase five shares ; and , in order to maet the circumstances of those who cannot deposit 5 s . at the ontset , and Is . 3 d . weekly , the following plan has been adopted : —Each share is to be secured by the deposit of Is . and the payment of threepence per week until the price of the share is paid up . All who enter before the 1 st of February , 18 * 2 , will have their shares at 13 a , « il . with the option of taking up one share annually upon the payment of 2 s . additional per share . The property of the Company will be invested in the hands of three trustees , chosen by the general body , and its affairs will be managed by a treasurer , secretary , store-keeper , agent , and nine directors , five of whom will be tiken as they stand npen the books , and four will be elected by a general meeting ; half of the electors will retire every half year , but may be re-elected . Everymember is required to sign the following declaration : —
I , A B , do hereby pledge myself t « ao all in my power to promote the prosperity of the Hunslet Friendly Trading Society ; and I will , as far as practicable , purchase all my necessary articles of consumption at its stores .

AN ADDRESS TO THE ARTIZA . NS , MINERS , AND AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS OF THE BOROUGH OF HELSTON . BRETHREN IN POLITICAL BONDAGE , —The time is at last come when It behoves yon , and every lover of yonr country , to stand forward aad aid in rescuing the land of your birth from degradation and ruin—a nation that could ance boast of being " the admiration of the world and the envy of surrounding nations , " 1 b rapidly on the decline , and threatens shortly to become like Tyre , Sidon , Carthage , Babylon , and Rome , known only in name . Nature has so bounteously bestowed her gifts upon and around our Island , that it embraces within itself every requisite for National greatness , with a population proverbial for their industry , and
surpassed by none beneath the vault of heaven for bravery and skill ; yet we find ourselves surrounded by poverty , destitution , and distress , to an extent unparalleled in the annals of the British history . Capital finds little or no profit , and labour no reward . Our merchants and manufacturers are on the brink of ruin , and are dally becoming bankrupts . The streets of our manufacturing towns are filled with half-starved , unemployed mechanics , whose care-worn ceuntenances at ones bespeak thoir wretched condition ; subjected to such distress they wander with hat in band , forgetting that they are men crouching like spaniels at ths feet of their tyrant lords . They ask leave to work that they may live , but are denied . Thousands of our best artizans and mechanics are forced from Albion ' s fertile shores to seek
; in other climes that which unjust legislators have del prived them of in their own ; tho&e who , from love of . country , cling to their native soil , driven to the last ' cursed alternative of allowing tueiustilveg to be 6 D-• tombed alive in the Whig baatUiv , Wbtre the QUBb&nd ; is separated from the wife uf his bosom , who is as near to him as the sovereign of thesa realms is to the heart of ' her royal consort—the wife is taken from him whose ¦ delight it was to solace her in affliction and distress , . and who vowed at the sacred aitv to be ber protector , through life . Children , those pledges of connubial lore , I are torn from the affectionate embraces of both ; thus i bursting asunder every tie of nature , and grossly out-! raging every feeling of humanity . Those are among the j least of the evils we sufttr under class legislation .
Brethren , our evils are increasing and will still continue to increase while we are like serfs and slaves , forced to obey laws , we have no voice in making . But the present corrupt system must shortly vanish before a nation's will , and a government formed on the philanthropic principles of democracy will be raised on the ruius . It is because we wished to work with the materials of our ancient constitution and divest ourselves of the shacklea which the two vile factions are riviting , by their every action , more closely to our shoulders , that we have been denounced as revolutionists , levellers , and infidels ; but we hurl the foul calumny in the teeth of our calumniators , and defy them to prove what they have had tho unblushing effrontery to assert . Rather than see our country engaged in bloody revolution , we would
allow -our oppressors to sway their fiend-like Bceptre of tyranny over the producers of their comforts , till death bid ns quit the stage of action , and mingle with our fellow-clay . Those who have been pleased to stigmatize us with the name of levellers , are knavish designing politicians , -whose object in so so doing vras to tiiiow the veil ef prejudice btfoTe the eyes of the middle classes , and thus effect a dei = paration which would allow them to maintain a little longer their usurped authority . Middle dug men , we covet not your property , bat we wish that property which we boast of as being the gift of nature , and which is in our blood and sinews , should be fairly rt presented . But they have dared to brand ns with the name of Infidel ; but tbis word , -which in former days used to
act as magic on the minds of their dupes bas lost its charm ; bat we could , ye sanctified hypocrites of a Church , that costs the country annually ulno millions and a half for its support , we could unfold a tale of your horrid deeds that would make the blo-. 'd of every sincere Christian become stagnant in his vtics at tr ? perusal ; but , contrary to yon , we render good for evil , and refrain from drawing aside the curtrin that hides yonr infamy , and tell you that we are politicians , but not Infidels—we are Christians , but not bigots . Brethren , we have had every party to contend with , from the middle class to the CroR * x > but the middle class are fast joining in the struggle of right against might , and the tide of Democracy has begun to flow , and in opposition to the combined efforts of the two factions it will , like the billows « f the mighty ocean ,

C ARbXSLE—At the meeting of the couneil on Saturday , Mr . John Armstrong in the chair , it was resolved that copies of tha National Petition , and also sheets for signature , be ordered immediately , through Mr . Arthur , bookseller ; and that the moat active means be resorted to , for the purpose of procuring signatures . We have no doubt bnt a great number of signatures will be obtained . as the National Petition U a document that very few will object to sign , more especially in the present state of trade , for nearly all classes depending on labour , are more or less affected from the great depression which now exbts . In addition to the extreme low state of wages , work is very scarce in all departments of buai " ness . Several of the public works have been working short time ; and , where this is not the cose , the masters
have been reducing the number of bands ; so that many have been thrown out of employment . Provisions are very high in price , and how the winter will be got over , we know not ; for the wretched peor are already starving in all directions . There was a ball on Tuesday evening last , the proceeds of whieh , after all expences are paid , were to go to some charitable purpose ; bnt what avails the casual hand of charity , when such general distress prevails ? What mockery < to commemorate the birth of a Prince , by music and dancing , while the wails of misery and starvation are heard in every Street aad lane throughout the city . The conduct of tho patties getting up thia piece of foolery to commemorate the birth of a Prince ,
contrasts strangely with the benevolent conduct of Q . H . Head , Esq ., banker , in this city , who , a few days ago , gave orders that the whole of the paupers in the three different workhouses , also all the prisoners in the gaol—debtors included , should be regaled with roast beef and plumb pudding f—which they had , ( to the number of some hundreds ) in very great abundance . This ia what wo would call real and substantial charity , as compared with the silly buffoonery of a ball room ! We trust our present worthy Mayor , Q . Q . Mounsey , Esq ., will take immedi&te steps to get up a public subscription , for the purpose of relieving the shocking distress which at present prevails . —Cornspondenl .
Lectures in the Council-boom of the Charter association . —We feel great pleasure in stating , that several valuable and instructive lectures have been delivered in tho above place , by Mr . John AiaiatroDgx chairman of the association , after which collections have been made in aid of the funds . These lectures have led to the establishment of a debating society , at which questions of public importance will be weekly discussed . There is no charge made for admittance , but collections will be made , after each discussion has closed , in aid of the funda . We consider such a society calculated to do much good , if properly conducted , and may be the ineaus of bringing out young men as public speakers and advocates for the Charter , who might , under other circumstances , have remained in comparative obscurity .
NORWICH . —Defeat of the " Plague . "—Some unforeseen circumstance baa of late made converts of the leading Socialists of this town to the Corn Law Repeal . In consequence thereof , they challenged all opponents to discuss its merits . The Chartists accepted the invitation , and on Wednesday , Nov . 17 th , each party met in the Social Room , and the discussion proceeded until a late hour , when it was adjourned till the following Wednesday . The meeting was then numerously attended , and the Repealers were assisted by Whigs of the first water . Each speaker was allowed fifteen minutes , and during the early part of the discussion all was orderly and peaceable ; but the Repealers finding themselves unable to palm tha delusion npon the people , became warm ,
and , ss is too often the case with parties attempicg te lead the intelligent astray , they treated their hearers with , unbecoming language , telling them it was an act of tyranny for a majority to hold in subjection a virtuous minority , and that if they had ouly tea Socialists in the room , they would discuss the question with ten thousand opponents . This insult was received by the meeting as an evidence of failure , and a strong disposition was shown not te hear them . A resolution was then moved , expressive of sufficient evidence having been given , that to Repeal the Corn Laws , wishout accompanying it with those measures detailed in the People ' s Charter , would not restore comfort or contentment to the people . Mr . Clark , the Social missionary , warmly opposed tho resolution ,
stating he had been taking notes all the evening , and be had a right to speak , but the meeting being disposed to cavry the resolution , Mr . Goat , the Chartist Secretary came forward and moved , as an amendment , " That Mr . Clark be allowed fifteen minutes to speak , and himself as many to answer him , " Which being put from the Chair , was carried without opposition . Mr . Clark then addressed the meeting with great rapidity , endeavouring to show , that by a Repeal of the Corn Laws , bread would become cheap , labour plentiful , and thus might we gain comparative comfort , Mr . Goat , in answer , observed , that Mr . Clark had many times told his hearers that the soil of Great Britain and Ireland was more than sufficient to supply the wants of her inhabitants ; as such there could be no
need of foreign corn . He had also said , that we bave a producing power more than sufficient to supply the world ; if so , from whence was trade to come to employ this vast amount of machinery , : mrt the other nlso , to restore this comparative comfort . He said we had too much trade at tho present day ; if half the trade were well-directed we should have enough to make all comfortable . But to direct trade so as to benefit the working man , the people muai have a power in legislation , and then they might repeal the C > m Ltws , or any other offensive 3 aw 8 . These remarks determined many favourable to repeal to desert it , and seek the Caartar . The motion was then put , and a forest of hands held up in its favour ; in fact it was nearly unanimously carried . The meeting then broke
up . ABEIiGAVEWHY . —Mr . George Biack , of Nottingham , lectured here on Friday last Mr . Ingram , vir . ariffith , and Mr . Divid Jonathan , also addressed tha meeting . The whole gave tha greatest satisfaction . The roym was crowded . Air . Black has lectured here btfore , and his giwn great satisfaction ; he is a warm advocate in the cause . COV ^ KTRY . —The people of this town , have been favoured with a visit from the indefatigable champion of the rights ot labour , Jnntea Broiit ere O'Brien . The " schoolmaster , " consented to deliver two lectures on Wednesday anil Thursday oveuings last ; subjects , tile " Righ . s of Labour , Suffrage , &c . " Tho moment it was made known , a tow of tlie " schoolmaster's"
discipl-. s iiiit toother aud dtiermined to welcome his appearance in Coventry , by a public supper on Wednesday evening , tickota Is . each about thirty good men and true sat down to a guyd subst * i ; tial repast , consisting of roast beef , aftvr discussing the good things of this life , and the cloth b-iog removed , aeveral tjaats was given from taa chair , when it was time for Mr . O'Brien to commencu lecturiug j the company then immediately retired to the large room , occupied by the Socialists , who kindly granted ttit ) use of the same to the Chartists for the lectures . Tlie room was well filled . Mr . Mahon was unanimously voted to the chair ; he made a few appropriate remarks , and called upon Mr . Joseph Petard to read an address to Mr . O'Brien . Mr . Peters then mounted the platfotiu , and read a short address ,
complimenting the " Stthoolmastsr" for the great services he bad rendered the c tuse of democracy . Mr . Samuel KuigLt then proposed that the meeting adopt the address ns taeir own ; seconded by Mr . Thumas Marshall . Tim Urmirman then called for a show of hands ; ttie cr . il was responded to by n , forest of blistared hands . The contrary—not one single hand . ( Loud clapping followed the announcement , that the address was carried > Mr . O'Brien then rose , and was received with vociferous chewing . He communced by saying that uis health would not permit him to address them as he couid wish , but he would endeavour to make them all understand . He had had splendid meetings at most of the places he attended for the purpose of lecturing , with tho exception of Bury ; that was chiefly owing to the
divhion between the friends of O'Connor nod D . \ F ;« tcher ; but a bett 't spirit was growing up amongst tbo people of that place . He then entered at gnat length into the distress endured by the labouring and manufacturing population of Great Britiin ; ha contrasted the wages of the present time tj those received by our forefathers , showing how the working classes of society was robbed without their will or consent ; he showed to t is meeting , by irrefragable proofs and demonstrancss , that the Charter was the only means by which they could work out their political and social emancipation . Mr . O'Brien then expatiated , at great length , oq the necessity of the people signing the National Petition ; he then said he was willing to answer any question that any person pleased to ask ; he stated that he' would enter more into detail hereafter .
On tbe following evening , ( Thursday ) , Mr . David Buckuey was called to the chair . After a few observations , he called upon Mr . O'Brien , who appeared ia maeh better health tban on tbe previous evening . He was loudly applauded ou rising to speafc . He commenced by showing that the interests of the middle classes was not identical with those of the working classes . The object of tho iniddla class was to get labour ebeap and sell it dear , whilst the object of the working man was to get as much for his labour as he possibly could . He traced all the evils of society to the accursed usury laws , showing how they operated on society . He then pointed out , in a most masterly manner , the only means left to the toiling and industsrous millions to remove the load of misery and wretchedness under which they groaned , which was to

adopt tha plan of Mr . Feargus O'Conmor , by placing them on tbe land and throwing them oa their " own resources . " He spoke nearly three hours in one continued ( train of eloqnonce . showing that If happiness is to be the lotof tbe mQUons , tbe millions must accom plish it themselves . He then stated , as before , that he was willing to answer any questions put to him . Some discussion then ensued between Mr . O'Brien and some thiek-beaded middle-class man , whose brains seemed to be wool-gathering , relative to the letting of the land . The lectured then repeated tha assertions made nae of in
his lecture , that his plan would not deprive any of tbe landed , proprietors of one farthing . Several questions were asked , and the discussion kept up to a late hour . Mr . Peters then rose to move that the thanks of the meeting be given to dr . O'Brien for the many great and valuable services rendered to the cause of Democracy , which was seconded by Mr . Rlchaid Hartopp . The Chairman then put the question , which was carried with overwhelming applause . £ 2 98 . 10 ( 1 . waj collected at the door . A few friends came the distance of seven miles from Brinklow each night to hear Mr . O . B . All parties seemed highly satisfied with both lectures .
BERRY BROW , —On Monday , ¦ mettmg was held in the Berry Brow School room , Mr . William Wood in the chair , to hear Mr . F . B Lees , of Leeds , the teetotal advocate , gave an address on the principles of Chartism . The room -was full consisting of Chartists , Tories , and Whigs . The lecturer gave tae latter their true character , and concluded his address by exhorting bis hearers to temperance , knowledge and union . A vote ef thanks were given to the lecturer and chairman , and three cheers for tbe Charter . An association is forming here , and we hope ete long , to be able to join tbe National Move . tdMBI £ 7 . —The Chartists here have joined the National Charter Association . They have sent as their nominations of Councillors , but having given us no trades nor residences , we do not print them .
NOTTINGHAM . —The usnal weekly meeting of the Chartiats was held in the Democratic Chapel , on Monday evening , Nov . 29 th , Mr . Jacob Bostock was called to the chair . The following resolution -was passed : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , Mr . Qt . Black , from over zeal in the cause of democracy , gave utterance to a few sentences , at Sheffield , which were indiscreet , notwithstanding which this meeting has full confidence in - his political integrity and sincerity . " The following resolution was carried the same evening , at the meeting of Chartists , held at the King George on Horseback : —That this meeting is of opinion , that tha language used by Mr . George Black ,
at Sheffield , as reported in Urn Northern Star , was rather intemperate , and ought not to have been us * , d ; but this meeting has the most unbounded confidence ia the honesty and integrity of Mr . Block , and believe a more consistent democrat does not exiat . " A committee was also formed , in the Demoeratic Chapel , to superintend the National Petition , in obtainiug signatures , &c A committee was also appointed for more effectually agitating the town , in districts , and for waiting on the various trade committees , and to solicit their co-operation in the great movement . Mr . Cornelius Fawkes , a working man . gave a moat impressive address at tbe conclusion of the business . Some new members also enrolled their names .
BRISTOIi . —On Monday evening another t ' . cket meeting-was called to hear an Anti-Corn Law lecture from Mr . Brown . Great care was taken in the distribution to friends of the league ; notwithstanding which , a considerable number of Chartists gained admission . The lecturer was frequently interrupted with exclamations of impatience and distent during the progress of his lecture . When he had concluded , Mr . Clifton , a Chartist , arose to make a few observations on the many fallacies he had advanced , when tho " respectables" on the platform began hooting and yelling like beasts and reptiles ; the Chartists cheering . Mr . ; Simeon next rose on tho platform , when a posse of police were marched in at the back door upou the platform . A doz < m disorderly
gentlemen pointed to the Chartist speakers , and gave them ia charge ; but for what I know not , unless it was because they did not yoll bo loudly as tho " gentierasn . " These worthies , however , took the "Christian " course of hearing none but their own side , and of handing over their opponents to the blue devils . When ihe Whigs were opposing and upsetting Tory meetings by amendments , the conrse was quite right , but now the case is altered . The working classes having dared to follow the Whig course , and move amendments at Wbig meetings , and challenge Whig spo-iters to discussion , ( 0 , very wrong !) the liberal Whigs have discovered a new doctrine for public meetings aud lectures . It is , that the public should
listen , not reply ; hold up their hands , but not move amendments . However , in this case , the preachers and bine devils wt re disappointed , for the Chartists dragged their two speakers from tho platform into the body of the room . Your humble reporter was next pointed out as oao of them , and got pushed off the platform by the tender hands of the said com law police . The bigloaf-mouthers and bludgeonmca held possession of the platform , and were wellshowered with the jurt indignation of the Chartists , who gave three cheers for the Charter , three for O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and , after discussing in numerous groups tbe subject of repeal , With tha dupes of the plague , each wended his way home . —Correspondent .
DEPTFORD . —At the Surry Council meeting on Sunday Jast , after tho transaction of local business , it was resolved : — " That it is requested of the various localities to come forward immediately to support the Executive , in every possible way they can . " After other business relating to the localities , ihe meeting adjourned to the Horn ' s Tavern on Sunday next , ( to-morrow ;) the chair to be taken at haif-past four o ' clock , when it ia requested that each delegate should attend , as the plan for a dis ; rict council , a ? recoinmeuded by the Executive , will be taken into consideration .
OtB Basford . —On Saturday , Nov . 27 th , Mr . W . D . Taylor delivered a lecture , in a school-room , at Oid Basford , on tho repeal of the Corn anil Provision Laws , and the probability of the People ' s Charter being first enacted , their relative merits , and benefit to the people , Mr . Russell in the chair , who opened the meeting by inviting discussion , or reply , ou the subject of the lecture . Somo middle-class religious l-aen , Corn Law repealers , made several attempts to put the meeting ia confusiou , when tbe chairmau interfered , and stated that if any further confusion was created by thoas parties , he should feel it his duty to call on a constable and prefer charges against them ; all then passed oft quietly .
BURTON-O ^ -TRENT . —On Thursday week , Mr . Bairstow delivered a stirring lecture in the Chartists' Boom , at Mr . Philip Tyzuck ' s , High-street , and on Friday evening , at SwadTingcote , in their room , and on Saturday evening , at Burton , to large congregations . On Sunday morning , the Chartists of iJurtou paid their second visit to the only poor man ' s church , in Need wood Forest , accompanied by our able lecturer , Mr . Bairstow . The text was taken from the 13 th chapter of Romans , and the 10 th verse . The words are— " Love worketh no ill to his
neighbour , therefore love ia tho fulfilling of the law . " All came homo highly delighted , and intend to visit the poor man ' s church again on the 12 thof December , and fill many of the empty seats . We hope the working men of Burton will muster that day , aud do honour to the only poor man's church . Oa Sunday evening , Mr . Bairstow preached a sermon in our room , to a very large congregation ; bis tox& was taken from the 22 ad chapter of Kzekiel , 23 rd and seven following verses . This sermon , wo believe , Una done immense good in Burton , together wit a Mb lectures .
CORNWALL . —Mr . Powell lectured during the past week , on Monday , on Castle Hill , Truro ; on Wednesday , at tho Market House , St . Columb ' s ; and on Thursday , at Padstow , a small sea-porttown , that never before was visited by such a lecturer . Having convened a meeting , and a good one it was , Mr . Powell explained the Charter , whjn , in the course of waica , a tall , slight , piutly , long-faced " local" created much merriment in the great assembly , by heaving many a heavy sigh and uiBmal moans , and then at once interrupted the lecturer , by calling the attention of those near him , and plaintively requesting them not to notice the mau who would thus seek to destroy the happiness of society by revolution , remarking that patience would be the only
means to remedy evils , if auy—that patience exalted a nation , and the evils we experienced whero bubbles , and that "the powers that be" were ordained of God . Mr . Powell commenced disseoting these sentiments in such a style as caused the whole crowd to join in one continued rear of laughter , putting to flight the time-serving , pulpit-hunting man of any party . Having touched on tho blessings of the Poor Law , where five women had to give birth to infants in two beds , reminding them that the " rural blues" vrere to force obedience , ho contrasted the people's condition with the Queen ' s Household , and urged down the execration of the mnititude upon the poor , sleek-faced , hypocrite Methodist , who , to make the matter worseowned that the poor man ' s means
, were low , but that they should wait for a Moses who if they prayed unto God would come aa a deliver ** of the nation . Next day , Friday , having repairedtoWadebridge , where the men are up to the mark , they and previously called the meeting for the craning , at the large room , at tbe Commercial Inn , which was numerously and respectably attended by lawyers , doctors , and such like , many waiting to catch the sound of Chartism as it reached the outer part of the building , many too went away reluctantly at the conclusion of the lecture . Another religionist attacked him , but in ft more mild and conciliatory
manner , partially approving of the means lifceiy to redress the grievances of the poor . Several new members enrolled . A debating society was formed , which bids fair to produce some good speakers . Mr . Powell said that he had received a letter from Truro , informing him that Mr . O'Connor would shortly after Christinas visit them , having it through the highest authority , the Executive . This for a moment created a dead silence , as if to , one and all raise , their voioes to the highest pitch , and Such a cheer never was heard in tbe town of Wadebridge . Thus ended another of the many spirit stirring meetings of Cornwall .
