Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the nse of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . BY "WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this work , are intended solely for the nse of natives . They are divestd , therefore , of all those hair's-brea . dth distLEcfc-ons and unnecessary sub -divisions in Analogy , which , if at all usefnl , can only be useful to foreigaers . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this "Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Langsages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of "Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as dearly as ft understands that two and two make four . . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively coEsnlted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages A majority of the nnmersns . RaJes given in most Grammars are shewn io be li ' ttla better than & heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rales are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Examples . By J& € Use of this Book , and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of tlie disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine oni of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar ai all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from a best of similar ones , may convey p ome idea of the public estimation in which this Work is holdsn : — " Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the Eieisory is through the understanding . _ It Is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , ie gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the gtructure of the English language than can be found in Eome very elaborate works . "—Liter art / Gazette . - Also , Second Edition , neatly bound in doth , price One Shilling , The KATIONAL SCHOOL GRAMMAR and ENTERTAINING CLASS BOOK . This work is founded on the same principles as tie " Fifteen Lessons , &c , " but simplified to the capacities of children . Also , Price One Shining , bound in Cloth , PROGRESSIVE EXERCISES , Selected from the best English Authors , and s © arranged as to accord with the Progressive Lessons ia both the foregoing Works , BY WM . HllX . Also , Pries Sixpence , THE GRAMMATICAL TEXT BOOK , for the use of Schools ; in which the hare naked principles of Grammar , expressed as concisely as possible , are exfcfpited for the memory .

THE STAFFORDSHIRE MINERS . ( From our Correspondent . J
To appearance the colliers' tarn out is settling down into quiet Fnbmission to the will of the coal proprietors , &ad every thing seems to say that the mea are beat ; but I gay , and fearlessly say , that it is only in appearance , for there is a « rong under current Tunning powerfully , that will show itself in turning the tide , and again , I say , will these districts witness all the evils of & determined and regular system of opposition to the encroachments made on ihe rights of labour ; and although quiet appears on the surface , I feel that ere long that quiet -will flee away , and all will be excitement and open resistance to the measures of those who now flatter themselves that they have eonquered their men .
I judge thu 3 from my knowledge of the human mind generally , and I may say in this ca-e more particularly . Englishmen do not like to be beat , and unless I mueh mistake the character of the miners , they -will try again—ye 3 , and again—before they will settle down quietly to be beat , and become the willing slaves of every fool or knave who may desire to tyrannize over their fellow men . The master coal miners and the authorities are now trying to strike with terror the minds of the population . There are about fifteen sent to prison for the part ihej have t&ken in the colliers ' , turn out some on one pretence and some on another ; the real cause being kept in the back ground , and only the pretence appearing to the public eye ; bo that there appears to the public a snow of justice , but in reality a vindictive determination to pnnish all who by their exertions or their talents have been serviceable to the
calliers ; but if any one i 3 but barely suspected of being a Chartist , 'vhy then there is no mercy—off he goes , and no mistake J and where any other would escape "with one month ' s dance on the mill , the poor Chardst is sure to get three . Well , we mnst bear with this ; the saeredness of our cause , the justness of our principles , will not be injured by a little boii-Dg over of aristocratic vengeance . The Chartists , as a body , have not mixed themselves up with the colliers turn out , nor will they . Yet we cannot gtut our eyes or our ears while we see and hear the effects produced by this affair of the colliers ' turn oat .
The state of these once flourishing districts 13 now very much changed . At the Union Bastile upwards of one thousand go regularly for their meals every day . The Eame thing occurs in the Burslem and "Woolstanton Union , with this irifi / ng difference , that thennmbers exceed those of Stoke upon-Trent parish- Here , then , the beanty of the present system oozes out , and the rite payers have the comfortable assurance that double the amount mast be raised to cover the expenee 3 of the Etarving , clamorous , and despised poor .

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . The news of the issuing of the writ reached us on Saturday . Nothing can surpass the excitement which it produced ! Groups of persons of all ages in society were"collected at every avenue , canvassing the probable , upshot of this great moral struggle . The non-electors' committee were immediately upon the , atert , dispatches were forthwith expedited to Mr . O'Connor , and every preparation mads for the coming battle ; a tough one it will be ; but either party are sanguine as to the result ending in a victory on their own side .
On Sunday morning Mr . Mead lectured in the town upon Burton Leys , and Mr . West arrived from Derby about eleven o ' clock , and immediately went oYer to Arnold , where he delivered two admirable discourses . Mr . Mead preached to many assembled thousanas upon the forest , at half-past two , from the following words : — "And Pharaoh said unto his servants where shall we find such an one as this , a man in whom the Spirit of God is V The character of Joseph was ably and beautifully commented upon , and his wisdom , prudence , and piety , contrasted with the legislators of the present day , and their unfimess to govern plainly demonstrated .
An . able comparison was drawn between the respeciiTe merits of John Walter and Joseph Sturgo , upon whom Mr . Mead passed the highest eulo ^ iums . He said he had known that gentleman twelve years , and that as a meek , pious , and humble , but actively practical Christian . As a philanthropist , and an honest liberal-minded gentleman he had bnt few equals , and no superiors . He then made a powerful appeal w > the prudence and good sense of the working and middle classes , and showed the important duties they had to perform in making a choice between two men so strongly contrasted in their characters as John Walters and Joseph Sturge ; and at the conclusion of this discourse tested the judgment of his auditory by a show of hands for
each . The demonstration of popular feeling was striking , for , amid the immense mass not a single hand was shown for Waiters , while the show for Joseph'Siurge was magnificent . A Chartist hymn wa 3 then sung , which made Old Sherwood re-echo ; a collection made , and many Chartist circulars , tracts , and songs disposed of . Numbers came forward to enrol their names , and the immense assembly dispersed at half-past six o ' clock , when the Old Commodore again was at M 3 post , with Mr . Jno . White , from the Potteries , whom in an animated address he introduced to the meeting , Mr . White delivered a most eloquent address , which lasted about three quarters of an hour , and elicited the gr < atest applause .
Our young friend is an engineer , and has obtained a good seat of work at New Radford . He is a t , Teat acquisition to onr cause ; his talents are brilliant ; and he , though scarcely twenty years old , evinces great powers of mind , and deep reading . After Mr . White had concluded , the Commodore again addressed the people for about twenty minutes . Another collection was made , making up , with tbat of „ the- afternoon , one pound . Many more enrolled their names , and thus ended Sunday . We never saw more enthusiasm in any meeting ia our lives .
" Moxday MoRxiXG—Mr . Feargns 0 Connor and Dr . M'Douall arrived by the four o ' clock train from London . Walters had arrived on Saturday , and addressed liis clique in the Conservative Halli There was a very thin mnster and little enthnsiasm . The learned scribe of the "Bloody Old Times " amused his vassal with a good deal of old woman ' s twaddle . Amongst the rest , he baldly asserted , ( hear this , ye working men ; do but hear the wisdom of thi Sir Solomon—this second Daniel come to judgment ) , he said that he did not agree with Universal Suffrage ; the present suffrage gave every
hones < and industrious man a fair chance of voiing . After a good deal more en suit stuff about onr glorious -Constitution in Church and State , the learned and sapient gent , took his departure ; scarcely one cried out u God bless you . The Commute Rooms were crowded at an early hour , and arrangements were made for a great meeting in the Market-place , at one o ' e ! of > . k . An active canvass i 3 going on amongst the Tories ; plenty of lush , and with it tobacco money ( a new way to pay Tory aid debts , ) is being distributed ^ but nothing like a barefaced bribe has yet been seen , although , no doubt , plenty is going on under the rose .
Twelve o Clock—The steam is getting up . At one ; it is at high pressure—thousands upon thousands are rushing to the scene of action . At halfpast one , Mr O'Connor , witn Messrs ! West , il'Douall , Mead , Sweet , Langmire , aud others mounted the waggon ; Mr . Mead was unanimously called to the chair , and immediately introduced Mr . West to the meeting . He was heard throughout his eloquent and masterly speech without difficulty by the immense meeting , and elicited rapturous applause . During his address , Mr . Sturge and his
friends -arere seen approaching , and load cheers rent the welkin . They were welcomed upon the waggon with great * n < 3 prolonged cheers . Mr . 0 Connor succeeded Mr . West ; and in his might , too , the great Chief of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales ' s democratic host hurled the gauntlet at the foe , set the blue lambs at defiance , pledged himself to conserve the peace and property of the town , urged upon the people the necessity of steady , sober , and vigilant conduct , and sat down amid the long and reiterated cheers of the assembled thousands . ... -.
_ The Chairman then introduced Dr . M'Douall to the meeting , who spoke at great length , and with great eloquence and ability , eliciting repeated rounds of enthusiastic applause . To enter into the particulars of the speeches of these Bterling advocates of democracy would be to us impossible from mere memory ,

suffice it to say , there was never seen more flaming enthusiasm , more firm unflinching displays of patriotic ardour in any m * n . The candle is lighted , and the enemies of men and God cannot pat it out , nor dim its steady but brilliant lustre . Mr . Mead now again came forward , and in introducing Mr . Sturge to the meeting , passed a high euloginm upon the Hon . Gentleman , whem he had the honour to call his fellow-townsman , and now was proud to call him his brother democrat . Ho entreated the meeting to give him suoh a reception as his well-known virtues justly merited ; and he doubted not they would be satisfied when they had heard Mr . Sturge , that they could not make a wiser or a better man their choice . Mr . STCRGBthen stood forward , amid the wives long and loud of the great and dense masses , and said— ¦ ¦¦ . -- : v ¦ .. : ¦ ¦¦
Gentlemen , I thank you for the . marks of approbation which you have shown me , and I thank those gentlemen who have preceded me most heartily ^ for their good opinions . I believe this struggle will be one which will but be the precursor of a greater and more general one . I have received letters from America , and from France also ; and , indeed , the eyes of all Europe are upon ns , aud anxiously waiting the event of this contest . Was not my heart animated by the hope of being humbly instrumental in furthering the great work of human regeneration I would never consent to stand here as a candidate for your suffrages—I would prefer Newgate to the House of Commons ; but J , am fully convinced of the justness of a full , fair , free , and complete
representation of all male adults of sane mind , that I have made up my mind to accept of your invitation ; and I am ready , should you elect rie , again to resign the trust which you will repose in my hands the moment I oea . se to give yon satisfaction , fhave been taunted by the appellation of the the Quaker Chartist , " as if the sentiments held by our friends , and those hold by Chartists , were opposed ; but we friends are men of peaco , and I declare I would sooner sacrifice my own life than take that of any man , under any circumstances . I believe the six points of the People ' s Charter are founded upon the eternal laws of nature and justice , and are in strict accordance with the law of Christ , This I declared to a friend who wrote to me , expressing his surprise
at my declaring myself for these six points ' , and I told him I believed if he or any other fair and im « partial man gave them a candid consideration , they must come to the very same conclusion . The Hon . Gentleman spoke then of America , and drew a favourable comparison between her Repulican institutions and thosB ef other lands , ' . especially our ovrn . His . speech throughout . convinced us that we have far under-rated fcis merits . — He is evidently deeply embued with the true spirit of democracy—and hiB philanthropy and sound morals—his plain , straightforward , blunt honesty—together with his primitive simplicity and candour , have evidently won him-an interest in many hearts . He concluded amidst enthusiastic cheers .
Mr . 0 Connor then : again came forward , and briefly addressed the meeting , for the purpose of taking a show of hands in behalf of Mr . Sturge . The sight of such a forest oi hands was , indeed , a cheering one . Mr . O'Connor then , with the most ludicrous drollery , told those who were in favour of Walter to show their tongues ; bat there was not a tongue to wag—not a dog mean enough to wag a tongue fofcp&or John . 0 , the TIMES ! Tiie Chairman then thanked the meeting for their attention and good conduct . A vote of thanks was proposed , seconded , and put by Mr . O'Connor , and carried with choors , when the meeting separated till seven o ' clock . At seven o ' clock the people flocked from all quarters to Bunker ' s Hill , where a rostrum bad been erested out of the committee room windows . This
erection is at a considerable height , and the coup d ' ceil from this elevation was immense ; we should say not less fhaa forty thousand persons were present . Mr . James Sweet was called upon to preside , and addressed the vast assembly at considerable length . He then said he had much pleasure in presenting to thfiir notice their old veteran friend Mr . Mead , of Birmingham , better known by the name of the old tough Commodore . Mr . Mead addressed the people at great length and in sound doctrine . Dr . M'Douall , in a long and eloquent speech , then addressed tHe meeting -with great applause , and very forcibly depicted tha wrongs which labour suffered from class-legislation . His speech was most admirable .
Mr . O'Connor then cams forward amid the most deafning cheering , and spoke at considerable length in the most animating strain . He touched upon the probable resort of the enemy to physical force with their lambs , or with their yeomanry , and gave his advice as to the conduct of the people in such an event—went into the landed question—aud into the interest which this election created all over the land . We never heard him with greater satisfaction . He retired amid immense applause . The immense mass then formed in procession—O'Connor , M'Douall , Sweet , Longmire , and Morrison leading the van ; a choir of male and female singers followed , and commenced with the Birmingham Gathering song—traversed , with tens of thousands at their heel ? , cheering ai intervals , all the principle streets of Nottingham till nearly eleven o ' clock , when , fairly jaded , we sought the balmy poppies of Morpheus , to wrap our senses in oblivious repose for the renewal of strength for tomorrow .

NOTTINGHAM . ( From our own Correspondent . J SERIOUS RIOT ; BLOODY ATTACK OF TORY HIKED BLUDGEOX-MEN UPON THE CHARTISTS ; CONSPIR 4 CY TO MURDER O'COXNOIt ; SEVERAL WARRANT 3 ISSUED AGAINST HIM FOR RIOT , ASSAULT , AFFRA . T 3 , AND LARCENY ; CLEiRtNG THE TOWN BT THE BRAVE CHARTISTS , LED ON IN PERSON BY O'CONNOR ; CAPTURE OF THE ENEMY'S HUSTINGS .
In my last communication , I omitted to state that Stephens had been imported here by the Tories , and also Mr . J . Doherty of Manchester : and yesterday large bills were posted , announcing the intention of the Rev . Gentleman to address the people in the Market-place , at seven , where it had been announced tbat the Chartists would hold their meeting . Early in the evening a very large waggon was planked over as a hustings , for the "blue lambs , " and was stationed at the top of the Market-place . Subsequently , a waggon was placed in the centre for the Chartist hustings ; bnt when the people assembled , they wheeled the Chartist waggon within about ten yards of the blue hustings . At a few
minutea after seren , O'Connor and the committee arrived , and mounted their waggon amid the most deafeniug thunders of applause . Shortly after Mr . Stephens made his appearance amid the Equalling of the hired bludgeon-men , and the execrations of the people . For a length of time cheers and counter cheers were given , the Rev . Gentleman and his backers trying to get up the steam . As if by common consent every portrait of Stephens , which had not been destroyed , was drawn from the pockets of the owners , torn in piece 3 , and pitched in his face . When the confusion was at its height , Mr . Sturge forced his way through the M lambs , " and mounted his hustings ; and while standing in the front was hailed with loud and repeated cheers .
There be stood like an oak-tree , using his best exertions to preserve the peace . At length , and after about three quarters of an hour spent in crimination and recrimination , the Tory bludgeon-men charged ; wbile a fishmonger , who undertook to lead the troops , unscrewed a nut from the wheel of the waggon , and flung it at Mr . O'Connor . The ruffians being prepared for a row , and hired for the purpose , took the Chartists by surprise , and drove them back about four or five yards ; when the leaders , in " smock-frocks , " entered the lists , knocking down all before them . The moment the charge was made , Mr . O'Connor sung out , "Now , Chartists , do your duty : charge ! " and instantly sprung from the waggon , forced his
way through the Chartist ranks , crossed the space made by the gladiators laying every leader sprawling on the ground . YCtiBg Clarke , of Stockport , sprung from the waggon , nearly at the same time , and he , with Dr . M'Dpuall and the right wing , charged those at the other side ^ where the fight had not before commenced . O'Connor received a violent blow on the shoulder , and had his hat knocked off ; but rallied in a moment , charged the enemy in front , knocking down all before him , and fighting to the houses , the blues fighting and retreating . Now the whole Chartist body moved on , O'Connor at their head , turned the BlaeB' flank , and drove them like sheep np the several streets that led from the Marketplace . In the mean time the right flank of the Blues had been turned by M'Douall and Clarke , and the left wing of the Chartists , and in their retreat they met O'Conner in the front . Here the rush of both aides
was tremendous . O'Connor was knocked down , from thirty to forty falling upon him amidst the most terrific yells and screaming . la a moment , he was on bis Ieg 3 again , and charged the Tory waggon , which waa still held by the bravest and the stoutest of the blue party . The summit was at least eight feet from the ground ; and as Mr . O'Connor made the spring to reach it , the man on guard aimed a fearful kick at his head , which , had it taken effect , must have serioualf injured if not killed ^ him , but which he fortunately warded off , and , seizing his opponent by the ancle , pitched him Tiead foremost off the stage , amid the reiterated cheers of the assembled thousands . By this time Mr . M'Douall and Clarke had scaled the right side , and , simultaneously , the champions presented themselves amid thunders of applause as victors in possession of the Tory camp , and which was instantly wheeled over , amid deafening cheers ,

The above sum £ 3 I 83 . being the balance remaining , after paying £ 2 5 s . 8 d . to Mrs . Holberry , we have . remitted to Mr . Hobson , the general treasurer . We cannot help expressing the regret we feel , that our former appeal in behalf of Mrs . Holberry , has not been responded to , to the extent we had hoped . We know the extreme poverty of the people , but we know too , that the smallest mite from each member of the Rational Charier Association , would be amply sufficient to place above the reach of want the bereaved partner of our martyred brother . Let but the Chartist leaders and lecturers do their duty , and we feel-assured that the people will do theirs . To our "townsmen , and to the Chartist s of Leicester , Liverpool , West-Bromwich , and other places , who have already responded to out call , we return our thanks , not forgetting our patriotic champion , Mr .
Duncombe , M . P . to whom we return our thanks for his generous and truly-liberal donation of £ 5 , announced in the Star , of Saturday last . Brother Chartists , we earnestly appeal to you to do your duty : let not the tyrants who destroyed poor Holberry have the hellish delight of gloating ever the want-made woes of his widow , and the apathy of those whose duty it is to shield her from fimher suffering . Rouse ye , and prove to the world that ye know how to honour the martyrs who perish in the Etruggle to free you from chains and misery , not only by building cold-stone monuments to their memories , and at your assemblies giving your loud plaudits to their names j but , in addition to these , by placing above want and poverty those whom the assassinated patriots have left behind them , looking to you for protection , sympathy , and support .
Now , Brother Chartists , a pull altogether , a mite from each Chartist , a few shillin ^ B from each locality , and the work will be done . Your own hearts will approve the act , and the lasting gratitude of her in whose behalf we plead will be your bright reward .

HALIFAX . —Important Meeting of Coal Jhsixs—One of the most important and spirited meetings it has ever been our lot io witness was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , in this town , on Monday , which was attended by delegates from Dearly all the mining districts for twenty miles round Halifax . The meeting waa composed of coal miners only , none others being allowed id mission . The numbers present wtrebetwiit 700 and 800 . The meeting was called for the nurooseof takine into consideration
the digtr ^ sed condition of that class of labourers to which they belong , and to devise some means whereby their Bufferings could Ve alleviated . The meeting waa severally addressed by delegates from e * ch locality ; and , after much disensSon on ths snbjeet , tee following resolutions were onanimonsly agreed to : —That it is the opinion of this meeting that , in order to facilitate the object desired , weformour-I ! . ^ societies , those societies into districts and those districts into one grand body , as speedily as possible , to consist of the whole of the coal miners of England .

There could ndt have been fewer than 50 , 000 persona preseut , whom M'Douallj Cooper , Mead , O'Connor , and West addressed without tne slightest interruption . ^ After which , tha whole body fell into procession , and ^ proceeded through the principal streets , Biiiging Chartist Bongs , wi'h their leaders at their bead , and so continued till a Hie ^ hour at night , whervall separated peaceably , having accompanied O Oonnor to his lodginga , which were made to ring again with the echo from thousands of voices , But yet the ^ torj has to be told .

The result of which was , that warrants were issued for the apprehension of Mr . O'Connor and the Alderman , and ah attempt made by the Tory Graham ' s new batch . of justices to have
the hearing at ten o ' olock ^ 0 morrow , the very hour of nomination , 1 for . the purpose of gagging O'Connor , and ^ prevent him Trom replying to Walter , as it « aS ? * pwfc hinQ i O'Connor , in nomination .

In the meantime the town is in an unparalleled state of exoitementj , and the Tories are absolutely fixing a price upon O'Connor ' s head , and arming their hired niffiuis with deadly weapons for the occasion This evening is pregnant with events . The people hold a grand demonstration in the market place , and the blues threaten a rally ; and fresh attack . I enclose you one of the ohop-fallon bills of the moral-force Tories . ; How small they now sing , and how : loud wag old Walter when the Chartists were the honestesfc fellows in the world , when they were making a topi and a fool of the old gentleman for their own purposes : — -
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM . The reign of terror has commenced . An Irhh bully , backed by a band of hired ruffians , atrangers to your town and neighbourhood ; has insulted ^ outraged , aud savagely mal-treated a number of your fellow townsmen , who were peaceably assembled in public meeting to discuss the demerits of the accursed PoprLaw . ' , ' ¦¦ - ¦ ¦ ;• : ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦'• ' : . ; ¦ , ; .-: , " ¦ '¦ ¦ Appeal will be made to the law for your protection : but in the meanwhile ,. if your indignant voice be not raised in accents of thunder , fresh outrage may ba perpetrated . *
Will you , free-born Englishmen , crouch in base submission before this Irish blackguard ? His practices in Cork and Gal way are too weU-knowii to require mention . Will you permit them to be renewed here for the suppression of free discussion , and for the intimidation of the loyal and independent Electors . ! . .. '•'¦¦ ; . . ¦ ; : ¦ '¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ : ;¦¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦¦' . ¦ " Friend" Sturge calls himself an apostle ' of peace , and has pledged himself to leave the town as soon as the first assault was . committed . Call upon him to explain to you how it happened that he was upon the waggon with this rascally gang , encou / aging and shaking bauds with , their riotous leaders the very moment before they assaulted ypur peaceable fellow-townsmen almost under his eyes , and , as they supposed , for his especial advantage .
Be net deceived ! Sturge , the pacific , and O'Connor , " the brave , " have one common object in ; viewthe subjugation of your town by brute foroo to the intolerable tyranny of strangers ! For the accomplishment of that object they are filling your town with a " physical force" of Chartists from distant places , and with a hired mob of Irish reapers , who are to no to work on your crdps with the shellelah , instead of the sickle . How loiig will you permit this conspiracy of bra ^ adoceos to triuinpii , to obstruct your trade , to injure your interests ^ and to trample
down your rights and privileges % If you will boldly announce your determination to stand by , and put in force , the insulted laws of your country , their system of intolerable and irresponsible despotism is at an end now and for ever .- O'Connor is ' . " . brave j " very " brave , " when he has thousands at hisheels . - ^ What he is , wheu m «; t . man to man , I know not , ; but hi 8 countryman , honest Tom Steele , branded him publicly with insult , in a letter published three weeks ago , and has never been called to , account for it . An Elector . Nottingham , August 3 , 1841 .
The cry of O'Connor for ever ! " is ringing through the town ; and many who were before wavering , are flocking unto the 5 tuTgO standard Mr . O'Connor is very much bruised in the chest and back , but still r « ady to maintain the good fight . Nothing can equal the enthusiasm and valour of the brave Irish fellows who contend loud ! y for the honour of forming O'Connor's body guard , while hi Nottingham . v M'Douall , Cooper , Clarke , Commodore Mead ,
Sweet , and all the Chartist leaders are working like black slaves , while the Whigs are not fliiichihg a single inch from the defence arid support of the Chartists ; indeed , is their passage last night through the town , the people were cheered on from nearly every window ; and should Sturee win his election , all are ready to yield to the excellent arrangement , ' sound speeches , judicious conduct and brave boariDg of the leaders and working men . ¦ ,, ' . ,- \ ...

The market is now being cleared for the ereption of the hustiTigs for tho nomihatiou , and planks are laid outside , while the police ato making arrangements for the preservation of the peace .

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAI . CHARTER ASSOCIATION . The Executive have perceived in the Star newspaper a Betiea of pubHc questions put to them , ot « fatU «» to the public , by a meeting of delegates at Leicester , the num . ber of delegates being twehty-one , and of course representing twenty-one localities of North and South Leicestershire . ' / ' ¦ '" ¦ / ¦ ¦ :- '' ¦ :- .. ¦ . , ; ¦ . "• -.- ; - -, -..-. ' , ¦ " . ;;¦ The Executive have to state , in reply tothose delegates , that the rule and custom of the Association is to communicate through the Genetal Secretary ; Vand if he refuses to give , and the Executive refuses togive an iui-. mediate and satisfactory answer , the complaining parties are then at perfect liberty to publish their grievances when and where they please .
In this instance the General Secretary has received no letter from the Leicester delegates , and , consequently , the Executive do not only not feel bound ; to answer the questions ; but , at the same time , consider the course of proceeding to be uncalled for , and calculated to excite great division in out Association . The Executive has also observed several rema'ks upon their conduct and proposals , in the Star , and in reference to that thoy have to state , that any public newa < paper has a clear and distinct right to criticise them as it may think proper ; arid that such critJciflm—fair or nnfair-r- 'win never inftuence the Executive in coining into contact with the public press .
The Star is known and recognised as the organ of the Chartist public , consisting of millions . The Executive are merely officers of the Association , consisting of rather more than 50 , 000 members . Their duties are distinct and separate . The Executive have summoned a Conference to be held In Manchester on the I 6 th August , when they will answer any question put to them by the pfl 5 cer 8 of the Association , bnt they decline bringing the private ' . affairs of the Association before those who are not members . If the localities around Manchester do not desire a Conference , it is their , right to vote against it ; and if the localities around London do not desire Conferences , let them decide , aye or no . -. ' . ' ¦'
The Executive are ready to meet the charges brought against them , but they will not lend themselves ns the sowe : s of discord ' , or excite division by making public quarrel with the officers of the National Charter A > sbciation . The Executive desire to meet the General Council , who can legally assemble together upon any point , and transact basfness . Ths Execative tally rely upon the members of the National Charter Association , supporting them . and : trust that every member will consider it his duty to afford them an opportunity of defending tTiemselves before their cbn 8 tituences . The Executive are quite satisfied that ev » ry member of the Association will weigh welt this subject , arid , by so doing , arrive at just conclusions oh the same . John Campbell , Sec .
