4 bem , to make these statements , that the public Bight inoir how to T&lue them . Thai , however , ii their business s we don't interfere with it . We iy bo means oonsidear poTerty to be a erime , nor the receiving of aid in any honourable undertaking to be disreputable : nor indeed does it seem that tbo Omraitteedo bo ; iheir case being that the nnderj * king to whieh ihej refer was not reputable nor honest j but a compromise of principle , and a Tirtual tale of each , talent as the market lould command . Without interfering further wifii the personal retort of the ¦ Committee , than io say that a £ least it is not surprising , and has certainly not been replied to ; we repeat that of the address , as a whole , we most cordially approTe , and are happy to commend it to the attention of our
waders . But whilst saying this we must also be permitted one word upon the petty attempt in the fixing of this address npon the Northern Star , because " printed at No . 5 , Market-street , - " to t'tablish a general principle which would identify us rriih ereij publication that might issue from the dmss of Mr . Bassos in the prosecution of his business is * . general printer . A more dishonest and disingenuous assumption could not have been made . " No . 5 , Market-street , " is not " the Northern Star offioe" specially and entire !? . It is Mr . Hobsos ' s general printing-office , and he of coarse prints for hire any safe and reputable job that may be brought to him , just as we hare no doubt Air . Fbedebick Hobso * . of the
Leeds Times , would hare been Tery glad to print the address in question : however galling its contents might bare been to his editorial partner , the profit would doubtless have reconciled him to the job . Surely , then , Mr . Hobsox , the publisher of the Northern Star , being himself an active member of the Leeds Short Time Committee , may print at his office an address from them . without
Us being necessarily a Northern Star address . " We note th is petty meanness , not because it is worth it , but because it is necessary that the people shonld keep in mind the fact that the Northern Star is not to be identified with , 01 responsible for , everything that , in the way of general business , may be printed by Mr . Hoison . The least thought will show every one that this is right and reasonable .
Leaving the Short Time Committees and their ei-devani friend , advocate , and advertising medium , to settle their accounts with each other , we reiterate our call upon the people to nphold the principles which these Short Time Deputies ably and eloquently enforced upon the attention of the Government ; the enhancement of wages , the protection of Laboiib , and the restriction of the aggressions of Capital upon its rights . We recognise in the operation of these principles the only medium of rational contentment and national enjoyment ; the only means by which the people cm obtain their right and fair share of the good things which they bring into- existence . We know that these principles will never be in operation until the
people are invested with the power of law-making , held and exercised under proper circumstances of security ; we recognise this power and these circumstances in the provisions of the Chabier ; and , therefore , since the promulgation of that document , the Northern Star has never " agitated , " and while in our hands it never shall agitate , " for any legislative measnre , save the Charter ; the great meaia to all good ends , social and political . It has ever , and , while we contronl it , shall ever , at all fitting opportunities and proper seasons , keep fully before the people the discussion of those great measures of relief to the obtaining of which the Chabieb is invaluable as a means , and without which it would become utterly valueless as an end .

DECISION OF THE MINISTRY UPON THE FACTORY QUESTION . Is the plenitude of their anxiety to bespatter the Short Time Deputies with all possible abuse , the Whig haeks and hirelings—the organs of the bone and sinew grinders—have most lustily vociferated that the whole thing was a Tory trick ; that the hoax had been " get up" for the purpose of throwing dust into the eyes of the working people , and leading them off the scent of Corn Law Repeal ; when lo ! in the Tery midst of all this jabber and a beslaverment" comes a letter addressed by Loed Ashxet to the Short Time Committees of Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire , stating that Sir Robert Peel has
definitely announced his intention to oppose the Bill for shortening the time of labour in the factories- We learn this from the London papers of Thursday , after our preceding article was written * We give the letter : — "London , Feb . 2 , 1842 . " Gentlemen , —It is with the deepest regret that I am obliged to announce to you that Sir Robert Peel has signified his opposition to the Ten Hours * Bill ; and 1 conclude , therefore , as you will conclude , that his reply must be taken as the reply of the whole Government-on this important question .
Thoagh painfully disappointed , I am not disheartened , nor am I at a loss either what course to take , or what adviee to give . I shall persevere unto my last hour , and so must you . We must exhaust every leghimateineans that the Constitution affords , in petitions to Parliament , in public meetings , and in friendly conferences with your employers . But you must infringe no law , and offend no proprieties . V « e must all work together as responsible men , who will one day give an account of their motives and
actions If this course be approved , no consideration shall detach me from yonr cause—if not , you fflust select another advocate . ** I know thai , in resolving on this step , I exclude myself altogether from the tenure of oSce . I rejoice m tbe sacrifice ; happy to devote the remainder of my days , be they many or be they few , as God in his wisdom shall determine , to an effort , however laborious , to ameliorate your moral and social condition .
"I am . Gentlemen , u Your fahhfnl friead and servant , "Ashlet . " We suppose that Lord Ashley will not be alone " disappointed . " He will have for participators in thi 3 painful feeling all the " extension" barkers who have been splitting their throats with the cry ° f " Tory fraud , " "impudent hoax , " "dishonest " move , intended to beslaver the Tory Ministry , " &c-i &C-, &e . We feel not at all
disappointed . We know too much of Sir Robt . Peel to expect anything good from him . We know too much of both factions to expect any good from either of them ; and we hold every indication of thtir real character to be valnable , as far as it must shew the people the necessity of depending only on themselves .
SECESSION OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM . The Dake of Bcckis ^ hajj has separated himself from Sir Robesi Peel ' s government . The intended modification of the Corn Laws is said , by the Times to be matter of dispute . On all other points it is maintained that the Government will still have iis Grace ' s cordial support .

ADULTERATION OF SUGAR . Iron the DubRn World of Saturday , we take the allowing paragraph , descriptive of one of the mtdes ¦ J which ihe now-a-dayB " respectable" trader toosges to chcit a living out of the class he af&ets to despise , and at the bare mention of whose name be turns up his nose as he would were a pole-cxt **«* right « aaek under it : — " The manufscttrre of apurioui sugar , by a method * fakh ia mo » t unwholesome , Tia , mixtnre with p » tatoe text , is carried < m in Manchester and Liverpool to a
aenons extent , and a quantity of the article It is suspected has found its way into the shops of some of our Dublin grocers . Tbe way to detect the infamous com-Pound is aa followi : —If a little of the suspected sugar is completely dissolved in hot water , end 3 few drops of iodine be poured into it , the mixtnre , if the sugar be genuine , -will be of a reddish colour ; but if adulterated with starch , it wi 1 immediately become a very deep blue or purple , approaching black , the depth of colour being in proportion to the amount of the starch . " ^ The World is right as to the ' staff nsed for this Multerati&n j but the practice is carried ootoa

much greater extent than he seems to know of . The stuff nsed is , as he says , potatoe Btarcb » before it is calcined , or made into Br itish gum , " for the use of calico printers . Ia the ordinary using of sugar the mixture is not apparent : this starch being very soluble , it mixes with the liquid , tea or coffee as soon or sooner than the sugar itself . The starch used for this purpose is ir . a fine powdered state : not lumpy , " as the washerwoman ' s starch is . We have been aware for some time of the practice here pointed out , and have been looking for a fit opportunity to expose it The practice is not confined to Manchester , Liverpool , and Dublin . //
prevails m Leeds to a \ ery great extent ! and we hare reason for saying that it is generally practised by most of tue "large" sugar dealers in all parts . We know of one ' ¦ house" who not loDg ago offered to take from a manufacturer of potatoe starch , * " ** . ?» fiftj fcons „ <* tbe article in an uncalcined state , if he would pat it m" at 2 f dper lb . ; and , as an inducement , the "house" offered to take almost any quantity ; for the first forty or fifty tons would soon be disposed of . The starch manufacturer could not take less then threepence per lb ; " so "the affair was off . " The sngar dealer got the starch somewhere else , where the parties could mee ; him at his price .
Now then , let the reader look here . The sugar dealer buys this Etuffat 2 | d . per lb ., and he mixe 3 it with sugar tha ; he . sells at 8 d . per lb . He thus ells the starch at 8 d . ptr lb . too ! Let us suppose that he saves 3 d . ? er lb . for ihe _ rubbish ; and that he disposes of for : y tons of the " powder-starch" in three years . He will , by these means -alone , pocket the enormous sum of £ 1 , 8 £ 6 . 3 s . 4 d . !!! He will get this , as the difference between the price he buys the starch at , and
the price he sells it for ! and the public will have to pay him this astounding amount of money out -of their poor and diminished means , for 89 , 600 pounds of an infamons and unwholesome article , mixed with that which is good when pure and alone . And the parries that practice these things are " respectable . " They are fit to be enfranchised ! They are not "ignorant" une-ducated" producers of wealth ; but they : ara " men of character" i * ' men of weight" I ! M men of standing" !! J Out upon them J the highwayman is more honest !!
The World « ives a plan by which the adulterated mixture may be detected . We ' are glad he has done so , and have great pleasure in extending a knowledge of it . We hope every buyer of sugar to retail amongst the working classes , will take care to test the article offered to him by the " great" dealers , before he purchases . He might as well have snjiar for his money as starch ! The former will be more serviceable to his customers than the latter ! The World will be surprised , perhaps , to learn that the major portion of the ani .-. le used in this
adulteration , is manmactured m Ireland . There is no wonder that " it has found its way into some of the Dublin shops . " There is some little of it manufactured in England ; but by far the greater part , boih for adulterating sugar , and , when calcined , for use at the print-works , to prevent the colours from running into one another , is brought over from Ireland . Who it was that first commenced the practice the World nGW exposes , we kuow not ; but , whoever he was , be ought to be completely glued up . '

Djsbbt . ——The friends of this neighbourhood having communications for the Star , or otherwise affecting the Chatiist mmemerit , are requested to send them to Mr . Thomas Briggs , care of Mr . John Moss , shoemaker Piumptre-tquure , Darley-lane , Derby . Money Orders to this Office . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend to , by the negligence of parties not attending to the plain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Ardill . Seme orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connors-some to Mr . Hobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star Office : all these require the
signatures of the person in whose favour they arc drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at ihe post-office oj ' , sometimes , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly given—not to mention the most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; ice , therefore , beg that all parties having money to send to tlte Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend co them ; if , therefore , they find tlieir neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .
Thomas Hurst . —The reafon why tee had not a longer report of the Ute Sla ^ e meeting at the Leeds Afufic Hall arose from the fact that no information was given to us that "the people " intended to be present , and take a part in it . It was by the merest accident that our Publisher heard of the meeting , and was therefore enabled to be present . Had the necessary information been afforded to us , the Reporter in the office would have had instructions given to him to attend . As it was , he had not , nor could he have any such instructions . He did learn accidentally oj the meeting , and hurried to it as soon as his other engagements permitted ; but got there just in time to see the close . The absence of our Reporter was matter of areat regret , and steps were taken at the time to remedy
tt . Before the meetinq dispersed the Reporter present tcho had taken notes of the proceedings , teas offered any sum he liked to charge for a full report , for ihe Star . He refused to let us have it , giving what appeared to him to be a suffi . cii . nt reason for such refusal . Thus were we left without report , except a short descriptive one furnished by one of the speakers at the meeting . It often happens that that which is the most obvious of all duties , gels neglected , or forgotten . In this case , it was cletrly the duly of the friends , when they had come to a determination to attend , to apprise us of such intention ; but " what is evert / body ' s business is nobody ' s business ; " and thus things gel neglected . We do not blame any one for this omission ; we only state the fact in explanation , and to obviate any such omission in future .

A Loves of Justice , anxious to see our Whig made widows and orphans above the reach of that grinding poverty which they have too long

Now I would propose that each locality should cor > tribute , weekly , a sum , varying according to its number of members , say all under twenty-five members to pay Id . per week ; : above twenty-five and under fifty , 2 d . per week ; above fifty * nd nnder a hundred , 4 fl . per week ; and so on in proportion , reckoning 2 d . for every fifty members . This would pro . ince , I think , a sum » f from £ 4 to £ 5 por week , which would raise tuose unfortunate sufferers a ^ ove the uncertainty of public subscription , which at best is but a uorry source to be dependent on .
John P . Rodgers- —We are sorry he is angry ; but cannot help it . We made no alteration in our Bridgeton report . Mb . William Ironmonger writes us in explanation of a portion of his speech at the laie mason ' s meeting in Bath , which lie tays has been misconstrued by some of the numbers of the Operative Masons' London Trade Society . He begs to say that the statement alluded to was never intended to apply to any portion of tJieir society . The words in qu&stion read thus : — "At last a soeiety of blanks was formed , and Allen thought he should be supportsd by that body ; but he would find that the job would tiot be cotnpfcled by other - than Staely men . ' "The society of blacks , " Mr . I .--ays , " was not formed till long after the above society had been kindly solicited to take
our places , and had m ' isl manfully refused ; and I have many limes declared , both in public and private , the nolle and manly part their society has taken in the struggle . " Mr StoTT , Manchester . —Mid day last Thursday we received a letter from this gentUinan ( cut from the Dundee Chronicle , ) relative to the charges made by a number of the Manchester Chartists against Mr . R . J . Richardson . The late hour at which it was then received prevented its appearance in that week ' s Star . This week the letter ( with a few observations upon , it ) is in type ; but the press of matter consequent on ihe London meetings and the opening of Parliament , compel us to drjtr is insertion to our next . This cannot incuiivenience either the writer or the subject vf the letter , as it had been published a fortnight before it was sent to us .
Ashton-under-Lyne . Masons Strike .- Our Manchester Correspondent recrivd en Saturday a letter , dated ju » uary 27 th , and signed "«/ .

repealing .-r nympauiy . is quite--- 'consistent with those of Stockport , Manchester , and other places . Thoy appear to be anxious to feed and clothe the poor when at public meetings , and give them cheap bread ; yet at the same time , by their conduct , they are making not only the food dear to the working clasBes , but all other necessaries , by taking a portion of their wa ^ eK from them , under the plea of bad work , when notbma ia amiss with it , and by making almost every week great reductions . Only a fortnight ago , the twist winders could earn 15 s ! per week , but in consequence
of a reduction which -his been made , they can only earn 7 s . 6 d . at the present time . Machinery is being improved , and new msichinery brought into requisition , and every scheme which genius can discover is snatched at , for the purpose of obviating the necessity for manual labour . Servants are being discharged by their Corn ^ aw repealing masters who have worked for them upwards of twenty years . They stop 2 d . per head at one mill for broken glass , although many work not by a window , and who have never broken any . At another mill they are taking as much as 2 d , a bunch off the winders . The people are in great poverty and want . —Correspondent . ¦ : "' .

AniiCorn Law Frauds-t-The Bazaar Cheat .
—Many foolish persons in Manchester have been lately floeced of their money by the anti-Corn Law League , under the pretence of exhibiting a bazaar , the admission to which was advertised to bo one shilling ; and which was , of cour te , expected to entitle the donors to a view of all the fiue things tlisra ; but which turned out to be merely an introduction to the paymeut of another shilling ; as the rarec show is divided into three rooms , the first of which the customer aces . for ^ his shilling ; but iu amiuen for another sixponoe at the door of each of the others /

PRESTON—An Examlple worth Followi > g . —The benevolent portion of the inhabitants ol Preston are relieving the distress of tho poor , who are numerous , in various ways—such as sellingmeai ; potatoes , scup , &c ., at low prices ; but some destroy their charity by confining it to such and such political and teligipus creeds . The most worthy example is set by Messrs . Gardners , manufacturers . Their mills have always ran full tinie , kept their hands in full employment ; and , in addition to this , have purchased a large quantity of the very beet
rice and , sago , which thty intended to be sold to their work people , at i | d . per pound , which cannot be equalled in the towu , under 3 id . per pound ; other poor people , from all parts oi the town and country soon besieged the mauagor , Mr . Jordan , wishing to be purchasers . ' This was complied with , though attended fwith much additional trouble .: All corners have freely purtak'jnot' it at this low price . and been served with the greatest cheerfulness , without any questions being a&ked whatever . Would niahui ' acturors lay out large sums of money in articles of food for their work people , and let them have it in tiiis way sit prime coct , much good might be done . Only for ready money , no stoppings of wages , or compelling their work people to purchase , as is the case with Messrs . Gardners , whose conduct is highly praiseworthy , all being at full liberty to please themselves . —Correspondent .

OVER THJ ! CORN LAW REPEALERS . On Tuesday evening , a larce and crowded public meeting of the iahabitants of Stockport was held in the Court House , cohvened by the Mayor , in obedience to a Tequest of several influential members of the Stockport auti-Corn Law Association , to address her Majesty , and petition both Houses ot Parliament for a total abolition Of the Corn and Provision Laws / ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ - ¦ ?¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦' :: ' . ¦¦¦ . .- ' : ¦ - ^ \ ¦ - . - ¦ ¦" - . The Mayor occupied the chair ; and , after opening the meeting with a few observationg , aud reading the placard , he called upon some speaker to
propose ihe first resolution . Henry Marsland , Esq ., M . P . for the Borotigh , rose for that purpose ; and , after scanmng" at sonie of the leading Chartists , who occupied seats near him upon the platform , he introduced a motion to the effect—fchat ^ lamenting the prevailing distress in the manufacturing districts , ic attributed that distress mainly to the unjust taxes on corn and proviaion . He dwelt upon the iujnstice of all monopolies , particularly upon food j and called for the union of all classes of society for the purpose of remedying the distresses under which the labouring population laboured .
Sir Ralph PenDlebcry , Knight , one of the anti-Corn Law League ^ seconded the motion with great confidence . He was delighted to see the spirit , with which the question had been taken op by the public , and the progress it had made upon all classes . The manner in which the anti-Corn Law Bazaar had been supported on that and the preceding da , y was yeiy satisfactory ; indeed , he had to wait half-an-hour before he could possibly obtain admission to the Theatre where tho bsMar was held ; It would strike the government of this country with dismay . Th 9 y could not much longer withhold from the people their undoubted rights . ( Hear . ) The same government bad denied the franchise to Manchester , Birmingham ; and
Leedsbut what waa the consequence ? Why the passing of the Reform Bill . There would be such a pressure in Parliament thissesBion on the question of the Corn Lawi ? , that Sir Robert Peel could not deny the country an instalment toyrards repeal , and by the next session they would be enabled to get more than they wanted . All were alive to the gross evils of the protective system , and the encouragement pf laws which precluded us from the advantages of reciprocity and free trade with other countries who are desirous of taking : our goods in exchange for their productions . He had thp other day commissioned a friend of his in Liverpool to procure him a cask o ) South American pork and another of beef . It had arrived in Stockport ; the price of the article was
threehalfpeuce per pound , but the prohibitory duties had raised the cost to threepence per poundi Now this was agrcat evil to pitolude gooi wholesoBUJ food from coining into this country except at rates equal to to the oriuiual cost of the article . Ho coulri assure them that the meat was capital and as ; good as auy meat men need require . He had nowa piece of the bacon hanging up in hiB larder ready for use , and a particular friend of his who had taatsd the meat had pronounced it excellent i But the operation of the provision Jaws , by excluding good meat from other countries , kept the price of beef , &c . in this country at a rate utterly beyond the reach of the labouring clasBes . He wanted free trade in beef aud other provisions , and everything else j aud hoped that
the working men had suffered so much by the present distress , which had arisen from the Corn Laws , that they were now prepared to join heart and hand with the middle class to abolish the Corn aud Provisiou ; Laws . . fc . ij- > -. v ^''^ ks ^ iH . - Mr . Thomas Clarke , a Chartist , ' was aa anxious as any man for a union and a reconciliation between tke labouring and the middle classes for the obtainment from the Legislature of justice to all . They had been too long divided ; but it was equally evident that nothing could be beneficial to the nation unless it had the cordial co-operation of the . toiling millions . ( Hear- ) To prbye his real desire for union , he would suggest that the proposition which he intended to introduce , should be tacked to the motion , and not be brought forward as a distinct
and separate matter aa an amendment , tho latter being in fact the cause and the origin ; the motion being the effect . In the absence of llniveraal Suffrage , bad laws had been made , of which the Corn Law was one . Had the people had a voice in making these laws , the eyilfl complained of . ; by tho Honourable Member for Sceckport , would not now have existed . Therefore , the abaoace of poliiicai power to the people was the the cause of tbe distress ; and the Corn Laws , which he disapproved of as much as any man , were the effdot . ( Hear ;) All that he desired was that in the proposition-which is to be the Tiiice of this meeting to Parliament , the cause should precede the effect—if that was acceded , the union of
both olaeses was at once effected . He proposed "that while we deprecate the Corn Laws as being unjust and oppressive , we consider them to be the effects of the same cause which brought into existence the New Poor Law , the Coercion Bill , the Rural Police , and a variety of other bad laws ; aud , further that we are of opinion that there will be no change that will permanently benefit the people until they get political power through the adoption of the People ' s Chatter aa the law of tho land . " ( Cheew . ) This he wished to go before the ^ resolution of Mr . Marslands . He concluded by calling upon his / friend , Mr . Doyle , the future represehtatiytJ of this district in the National Convention , io second the motion ;
Mr . Doyle , oari 8 iBgj was received with much applause . His Bpeeoh , which occupied nearly an hour in delivery , was an exposition of some of the leading fallacies of the day , and was in effect an able and well -digestedaddress upon , political economy , taking in his course the principal grievances which militated against the comforts of the people , and the property of the nation , until h& arrived at the climaoterie and the panacea for all our political evils and imperfections—namely , the principles of the People's Charter , and tho indisputable riglit of every man , who is expected toobey the laws , to have au uninfluenced voice in the making of them . ^ Mr . Coppock endeavoured to reply to the djfferonfc points adduced by Mr . Doyle , but ho lost his way . He termed the cry for other remedies than that of the Corn Laws "herring trails , * ' to divert the people from the real scent . Ha repudiated the idea
of cultivating waste lands , on account of the great expence ; money would have to be raised at s « yeu per cent ; , while tho speculation would not yield in return two and a half . He declared himself disappointed in the Rsform Bill , and amongst those who betrayed the people , ho said the late Henry Hunt was conspicuous for having retained the rights of freemen . He Baidhe was favourable to an extension of the suffrage , and would go ' with them if they would only help the Gem Law repealers . ( Cries of "We ' ve been dune once . " ) He said he had great eonfideuce in the working people of Stockport , and hoped they would hot be led astray by their iiijudged and indiscreet leaders . ( "Oh !") He admitted that the repeal of the Corn LawsWould not raise waja ; esj but it woald reduce the price of brr ad ; and trusted in the co-operation of the people in the obfainnaeritoi ' this great political right ,
; Mr . A . Campbell endeavoured to conciliate the two propositions , and told the Chartists if they did not unite they might lose all . Mr . Glariie said he was williug to meet the meeting half way ; If they would suppbrfc hispropositiou , he would support theirs . The want Of Universal Suffrage was the grand cause of all . The principles of himself and party were "Universal Suffrage , and no Burrender . '? ( Cheers . ) ' ! Mr . Doylb expressed himself in similar term ? . Tho Churiun having coufetred with the leaders of the repeal party , saw there was bo probabiMty of a reconciliation , and therefore he should put the
motions . . ; - . . . - ;• .. ; .. ;¦ ,. - .. ; .. - .. , / ¦ , - ¦ .. .. After some delay , on the show of hands , the Mayor said heVfclt himself placed in a very uncomfortable situation . He was most anxious to acknowledgo the truth . He , however , decided that the motion of the anti-Corn Law party was lost , and thereupon declared the meeting dissolved . The Chartists gave three cheera for their victory ; three for the Cnairman ; and three for tho Charter . After which the meeting separated . BCRBAH FOR THE CHARTER !
