{ From our men Correspondent . ) Shewed , Thubsdat . —On next Satnrd * y another Honmanth scene will be re-enacted here . On that d » T Judges Tindal and P * rke , who presided &t the So ***! JOoauniaskm ** Monmonth in 1839-40 , will , Bdadbj Sir Robert Moonsey Bolfe , open the comnssicm her * for the trial of 244 wretched beings , whose greatest , if not only , crime is poverty . The poor fellows eren within the walls of their dungeon , Dear aught bat the appearance of men who would transgress the laws of their eoantry . Their oonduct
in prison is landed by the governor and the visiting magistrates , as exemplary and truly praiseworthy . The most melancholy spectacle is that which presents itself outside of the gaol , which is surrounded by the sorrowing wives and children of the prisoners , whose haggard countenances and threadworn garments indicate suffering , misery , poverty , and rags , beyond description . They may be truly called " a houseless , clotheless , and breadless crowd , " to whom death ought to be a thousand times more acceptable than life . x ... . . " .
The prosecutors under Ibe special commission jnake do concealment of their intention to vent all their spleen and direct all their power of vindicating the late against such prisoners as are acknowledged Chartists . Amongst those who are thus marked odt as victims to be made examples of , are Thomas Cooper , who is thus described in the calendar : a Age 37 ; reads and writes superiorly . He is committed for inciting and persuading a great number of people to assemble and gather together , and riotously and tumultucnsly creating a great noise and disturbance on the ISih August , 1842 , at the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent . " Arthur O'Neil , " aged 22 j
reads and writes well ; for inciting and causing a great number of pemns to assemble and gather together to disturb the public peace , on the 26 th Ang . 1842 , at the parish of Rowley Regis . " And William Ellis , " aged 32 ; who reads and writes well ; for having , with divers other persons , on the 16 th of August , 1842 , and on other days , at the parish of Burslem , traitorously compelled , imagined , and devised , and intended to levy war against her Majesty , in order to force and compel her said Majesty to change her measures and counsels . " That the persecutors intend making a good harvest of the affair may be jndged of by the fact that in some cases the briefs for counsel contain fifty sheets .
The prisoners complain much of the usual course being deviated from by the appointment of local attornies to prosecute for offences alleged to be commuted in their peculiar localities ; this , they say , will afford an opportunity for the indulgence of personal hostile feelings . The prisoners would sooner commit themselves to the tender mercies of the Crown officers , than to be thus Eubjected to the merciless treatment of men for whom they entertain hte most natural abhorrence . Nothing so clearly proves the low subterfuges to which certain local functionaries had reeoim e for
committals a 3 a recital of the charges under which many of the prisoners stand committed . Upon reading them , the public will jnstly exclaim" What ! a Special Commission to try snch offences , which could be better punished summarily-by the magistrate , than left to be disposed of by a Special Commission , at an enormous expence to the country !" The charges alluded to are as follows : —Joseph Brosttr , for stealing four and sixpence ; Henry Howard , stealing a book ; George Shaw , stealing a shirt ; Edward Adams , demanding the sum of sixpence ; William Prince , stealing one tamp rabbit ; Williams Napper , John Hnlme , Smith Child , Wn . Plant , Thomas Adams , and DavidParkes , demanding the sum of one shilling ; Samuel Lockett , demanding the sum of sixpence ; John Hall , demanding the sum of sixpence : James Wooley , demandme the
sum of sixpence ; and Elizabeth Bryan , stealing one picture frame . Now , if those offences were brought before one of our Metropolitan Magistrates , he would either dismiss the charge , or , at most , taking the circumstances into consideration , would send the accused for a week or a fortnight to prison . Exclusive of the prisoners tbns committed for the Special Commission , there are 180 to be tried at tie Sessions , the enormity of whose offences may be judged of by the sample given of the commitments for the Commission . It is pretty clear by the classification of the piisoners by Mr . Brutton , the governor of the gaol , that they are not the unedncated set which it is so much the object of the Whig 3 and Tories to represent them as being . The fnbjoined is the classification returned by the governor , viz .:
—Prisoners who can read and write superiorly 2 Ditto , read and write well 27 Ditto , read and write imperfectly ... ... 50 Ditto , reao . well 5 Ditto , read imperfectly 73 Ditto , who can neither read or write ... 59 Ditto , on bail ... 25 Total , 240 Here is a _ " damning lie" to those calumniators of the working classes who designate them , as an ignorant , brutal , and lawless body , whose sole object it is to destroy life and property .
The Jndges will merely open the court on Saturday , pro-forma ;~ for that occasion the only persons summoned , are the justices of the peace , mayors , coroners , escheators , stewards , and also all chief constables , and bailiffs . On Snnday , the Judges will attend Divine Service , in Christ's Chnrch , when the Rev . Mr . E . Coldwell , rector , will preach . It is to be hoped that his sermon will savour more of mercy , than what characterised the discourse of the Rev . Clergyman who preached before the Judges at the Monmonth Special Commission . On Monday , the Grand Jury will be sworn at ten o ' clock , a . m ., precisely , when the Petit Jury , prosecutors , and witnesses , are bound to attend . The Solicitor-General , Mr . Sergeant Talfourd , and Sergeant Ludlow , Mr . Godson , Mr . Whatefy , and Mr . Waddington , will conduct the prosecution . After the first day , or at least after two or three convictions , three courts will be opened , in each of which a Judge will preside . This regulation will exDedite the business .
It is calculated that not more than 180 prisoners will be tried , and that the rest will be liberated on their recognizances to appear when called upon . Four more prisoners are expected here from Burslem charged with being principals in the demolition and burning of the Rev . Mr . Yates' . house and property , on the 15 th of August . They were brought into BurBlem on Tuesday ; one of them was severely wounded in the head . In Newcastle- nndei-Ljme , Mr . Wise , Captain Mannering , Mr . Adderly , and a few other magisterial dignitaries , are making great work about the
protection of life and property during the winter . On Monday and Tuesday they held meetings at the Castle Hotel , Newcastle , when they resolved to erect s temporary barracks , at a cost of £ 500 , for the accommodation of two companies of infantry and one troop of horse . Government has promised to bnild for them a permanent barracks in spring , The Newcastle jnstices are also raisiDg a police force , ard another body , which they designate a " protective force , " to escort the witnesses attending the commission , of whom there are forty housed in- Newcastle .
Threatened Octbreak i . n WoLVEKHAMPro . s . —A gentleman , wr . o has just arrived from WolTerhsmpton , st&tes that the ntmost excitement prevails there , in consequence of the notices from the men expiring on Saturday , when all the men will" turn out , as they cannot possibly exiEt on their present wages . The ** butty" and " tommy" systems are in full operation in this locality , and are amongst the primary causes of the discontent that pervades the working classes . Faial Railway Accidext . —A gentleman from London states that as the train on Monday was
about thirty miles from London , and within two miles of Tring , that the guard observed the headless body of a man , with the two hands also torn away , on the line . Upon setting out from London , he says that the guard was desired to have a look-out , in consequence of the wheels of the engine that arrived having been smeared with blood . On Tuesday , a fine cow , the property of Mr . Bannister , had its head and legs cut off by the train near Pankxidge . -Three of them had strayed on the line , two escaped , but the latter was knocked down by the engine before it could make out oi * the way . Its value is estimated ax £ \ -l

ADDRESS OF THE COAL MINERS OF YORKSHIRE TO ALL CONSUMERS OF COAL . Ladies and Gentlemen , —We , the colliers of Yorkshire , humbly come before you In the hope that you will lend a kind ear to out distress , and give us that sympathy which we have a right to expect We are driven only by want and misery to lay before the impartial reader the enormous injustice under which we have for years been victims and sufferers . We have employed every means in our power to be kindly listened to by our masters ; we have applied to them , but to no purpose . We are , therefore , compelled by them to lay before the public our grievances . 1 st . A reduction of wages to an alarming extent , so that we and our families are perishing for lack of food . 2 nd . A great addition has been made to our day ' s work , bat none to our wages ; ( the reverse ) we have as much coal fce get in two days as we had formerly in three .
3 rd- On account of the corveB ( or waggons ) being continually enlarged , and our day ' s work increased , we have only two or three days in the week ; the wages of two or three days is not sufficient to maintain us and our families through seven days . 4 th . We are obliged to work in water and damp places , so that we get rheumatism and all sorts of complaints ; and we are obliged to work naked , er nearly so , on account of the hard and laborious employment we have to perform . 5 th . Getting coals by measure and selling them by weight ; this is the reason why they are continually enlarging the corres ; every new one that is made is larger than the old one . When they sold by measure they did not do so ; if they had , the public would have got the benefit ; but now that they pocket it all they are never qniet . 6 th . Our masters have turned off from their employment some of the delegates whom we chose to represent our grievances to them .
The millions in our own country , without taking into account the millions of foreigners , who are , through our labour , warmed every day , from the humblest being in our country to our gracious Queen , are little aware of all the misery , all the oppression , cruelty , and tyranny we are subjected to by our masters . The Negroes were never reduced to such subjection ; they had only to work a few hours io the open air , whilst we white men , and , above all , Englishmen , cannot see the sun some times for weeks together except oh Sundays , which is -worse than any prison in the kingdom , and more injurious to the human system than the solitary cell . We are even worse treated than the greatest criminals in the slave mines of Siberia , for they have plenty of food given to them ; they can v . alb and work erect ; all their mines are six feet high ;
whilst we are cramped and crushed into holes sometimes not more than eighteen or twenty inches high and a yard wide , and are forced to work naked in those low and narrow noies . When we enter the bowels of the earth we cannot Bay that we shall see our wives and families again ; we cannot run out of the pits to save our lives ; we are forced to crawl on our hands and feet , the distance we have to go in and out before we can reach tbe basket that took us down . There is no trade or profession that is so much exposed to danger as that of the collier , and ne man stands more in need of education and religion than the collier ; for no one is more suddenly snatched out of time into eternity . Unacquainted with the will of God and the laws of man ; ignorant , stupid , and wicked ; as he lives so he dies , and his blood will be required
at your hand . There are societies established for the education of the soldier and sailor , but none for the colliers ; institutions fer the support and education of the children and orphans of the soldier and sailor , is it so with the orphans of the collier ? We say not . The soldier may get a pension if he is wounded in battle , and be entered into an hospital ; the sailor may be rescued from a watery grave ; but the collier is doomed to die without any one taking notice of him . He is more devoted to his country than either the soldier or sailor ; his life is in jeopardy every moment , and strange to say , there is no reward for him ; bnt even bis master will reduce his wages if be eau . He is doomed to be crashed to death by the recks , to be drowsed , to be Buffocated by the sulphureous gases , to be burned or scorched alive ; no one can lend a helping hand to
rescue him ; no one can see what is going on in tbe bottom of the pits . Look only at the numerous accidents which are continually taking place , and you will shudder ; your blood will run cold at the horrible misery we have to suffer , for a small , pittance , or a piece of bread . All is not yet told , and were we to write until this day twelve months , more than one half would remain untold . Look at our children ; who takes care of them ? who gives them the food and education they are entitled to ? where are their schools ? where can they learn the laws of their Creator ? the laws of their country ? and the love of man ? They are brought up in slavery and 'ignorance ; they are worse treated than the children of the negro . Instruction is denied them ; they only go to the Sunday school , and even on that day they are so fatigued and
tired that they cannot learn any , or even enjoy themselves . We may add here , the school-masters universally describe the pit boy as always more drowsy and sleepy , as duller and more stupid at learning , than other boys ; as reading much worse than they formerly did before they went into the pits , and yet equally willing to learn . ( Commissioners' Report , p . 175 ; see alsa the Times for the month of May last ) They are doomed to follow their fathers in the pits , and crawl ¦ where he cannot This country can never expect to see men fit to defend their Queen and country -whilst treating them with snch barbarity , and sending them to the grave before it has been ordered by providence . It is our humble opinion , that it is impossible for as to bear up much longer under the burden which presses so heavily upon us and our families , and which is fast hastening us to the grave , and which bo exhausts us .
that we con scarcely crawl home . Do we there meet with that comfort we are entitled to ? do we there meet with a table well stored with good and substantial food ? or evan - the commonest necessaries of life ? do we there find our families well fed , and necessary raiment to put on ? To all these questions we Bay no . If this was the case it would be some solace to our weary , exhausted , and emaciated bodies , writhing and agoniz i ng with pain , on account of the peculiar position , tbe cold damp air , and nauseous gases we have to labour under , and other evils too numerous to mention , which are injurious to the human system ; instead of all this we find an an abode of poverty and misery ; an empty table , or nearly so ; a care-worn sickly wife , and hungry , desolate , and half-starved children , crying for bread . Oh I how heart-rending is the cry of starving children for bread .
We make this appeal , not in our own name , bat in the name of our perishing families , who , through want , are fast hastening to the grave , to appear before that God who has declared , " cursed is lie that withholdeth the hire of the labourer . " ( See also Eodes , chap , rr ., Ter . 1 . ) To expect from our masters an increase of wages u out of the question , for we have tried it . We hope , by the exertion of cor representatives in Parliament , and the public , wa shall be rescued from farther danger , by coming to ear help and giving ns that relief we can
get nowhere else , by adding threepence to every ton of coal * yon par for , for the benefit of the colliers . We have no other resource but that one left ; and we hope that every one that has got a British heart , and bates oppression , will come to our relief . By such timely help we shall be able to ™""*» "p our families from starvation , and send them to school instead of the pita . We sincerely hope and trust that you will come one and aQ to our a » ci « + « i «»^ £ Bd by your support remove the unparalleled distress under which we groan , and which has been bome with unexampled psttosce and fortitude .

Oar masters have ears only for the sound of gold , smiling eyes for their customers , and feelings for themselves . We who send more gold into their pockets than any other trade are left to starve in these pits , ten , twelve , and sometimes fourteen hoars per day . Are Englishmen to suffer slavery to exist to snch a an extent at home , whiUt they give millions of pounds and million * of Bibles to extirpate it from Asia , Africa , and America ; and send teachers to form schools in all parts of the globe , whilst onr own children are remaining in ignorance , and grovelling in the bowels of the earth , under one of the most tyrannical and oppressive systems that ever existed ? We , who warm you every
day , who expose oar lives for you , yoa will certainly give us the trifle we ask of you without hesitation . Remember , that through onr labour , all tbe trade is carried on , all the manufactures ; all the steamers which bring riches from the remotest parts of the earth , are set in motion by us . Remember us at your meal , and think if you could have had all these comforts of life without the collier . Remember ua in the evening , when the toils of the day are over , and you are enjoying the benefit of a good warm fire . Remember that we are all brethren , and that the same Cieator sees oar sufferings , and will come to oar help . Remember that He who gives to the poor and suffering , gives also to the rich .
We , the Colliers of Yorkshire , pray that our Heavenly and Almighty Father may receive you amongst the just , and increase your happiness in this world . Committee Room , Wakeflald , Sept , 25 th , 1842 .

EXTRAORDINARY HUNT FOR £ 100 , OFFERED BY THE SPYMASTERS OF THE SECRET SERVICE MONEY . On Thursday morning week the village of Bacup was the scene of a laughable farce , owing to a worthy son of Escalpins , who sleeps with his eyes open , making it known to the powers that be , that a notorious Fox had stayed in Bacup all night ; accordingly the blood honnds wer& laid on the scent , and amongst them were the following noted dogs : — Harry Fdurhole , a particular favourite , who ran for , and carried off the Odd Fellows' Stakes , amounting to £ 40 . Sergeant Numskull , a devil for having a good noEe , and keeping his wife out of the poorhouse . Nelfather , a Newfoundland dog , just imported , who has given up an honourable and lucrative trade to run in the paok .
Peter Simple , a dog nearly allied to the powers that be , and a sure destroyer of young women's happiness , as there will soon be as many bastards of his as will make a pack of his own ; and Bleakoountry , a dog who is trying to signalize himself , but has not brains sufficient , not being a licensed dog as yet , but it is hoped he soon will be ; besides a man ; others . After doubling , &o . they at last came to view ; but here another obstacle presented itself—who was to take him i One said , he has teeth ; another , claws ; a third , he carries pockets ; a fourth said the oldest in the service should have the honour of the death ; the eldest said the youngest should show his bravery . However , in this state of things they passed and re-passed their
prey on the road , none of them daring to look on it , and had it not been for two sheep dogs , in the shape of two carters , which they charged to help , the priza would have remained untouched . But oh , what will the world say , when it is made known that the consternation of the pack was bordering on despair , when they were informed very civilly that they were not hunting Dr . M'Douall , but that the person whom they were kindly pleased to escort on tbe road was no other than Mr . William Beesley , of Acqrington , en route to Todmorden , to attend a Chartist meeting , to which place he very kindly invited them ? Ha ! ha ! ha ! Bacup dogs have good noses ! What will you take for your pigs , Tom ?

The Washingtonians have been dispossessed of their rooms , through the interference ! of Mr . Corbett , a member of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association .

—SHEFFIELD . —EDUCATION . —On Monday evening last , Mr . Edwin Gill delivered an interesting lecture on the subject of education , in the Chartist Room , Figtree-lane . The following is an extract from Mr . G . ' a discourse : — " We have had great talk about national education in onr time ; we have been told that we may blesa our stars that we were born in this enlightened country , in this the much-vaunted nineteenth century , the age of intellect , tea ., tec . Hearing these things , a stranger would suppose that tbia was the most enlighcened , Christian , prosperous , and happy nation on the face of the earth . Let us see how such titles wiil accord with England ' s present state . We have an abundance of church « s and chapels , and a noble army , Cailed-by-the-Grace-of-Godparaons , as instructors , who receive £ 9 , 459 , 565 for their labours . Then we have
Sunday schools , charity schools , Lincasterian schools , and national schools ,-where orthodox and loyalty are crammed into the brain or thrashed into the breeches of the rising generation ; without mentioning the heterodox sects , such as Unitarians , Presbyterians , Baptists , Anabaptists Wesleyan Methodists , Primitive Methodists , and Church Methodists ; besides Quakers , Jumpers , and Shakers , each sect having schools for the promulgation of its own doctrines , in which loyalty and morality ore combined . With such a number of pnblic seminaries we ought to be an enlightened people , and as far religion , what with the licensed and the contraband faiths , we surely ought to be a moral people , and if we take into consideration the enormous sums onr education costs ns , we must be a wealthy people . But are we so—are we wealthy 1 Let the bostiles be
crammed to suffocation with our beat artisans and mechanics , the numerous deaths from starvation , the suicides occasioned by poverty and wretchedness , the tide of emigration and tha lists of bankruptcy answer ; -and when in times like these , we take into account the cost of a royal visit , the 8 plendid ~ costumes of a retinue of noble sycophants , dinner aervices of gold , Ac , and then seethe starving " rabble , " the " swinish multitude , " as tha unfortunate poor are insolently called , the shoeless , naked , hungry people throwing their hats in the air , and calling on God to preserve their oppressors , to uphold that system of tyranny which like tke poisonous upas . tree is
blasting their every hope , —I ask , have thj / people been rightly educated ? Morality is at an equally low discount , crime is said to be rapidly on the Increase . We are told that a great majority of the prisoners tried at the sessions and assizes are not able to read or write , and a reverend divine has said that there are thousands " living without God , and without hope , " how well the instructors of the people have done their duty ! Weil may they sing their old song over and over again every Snnday , " We have done the things we ought not to have done , and left undone the things we onght to have done " ! The thanks of the meeting were unanimously given to Mr . Gill for his excellent lecture .
The Pateiot Cooper . —Mr . Harney has received a letter from this gallant patriot , is reply to one sent by Mr . H . It will be seen that a former letter sent by Mr . Hamey has been detained : — " Stafford , County Gaol , Saturday , Sept . 24 th , 1842 . " My dear Julian , —Your reply did hot reach me . Never mind it 'Oar light afflictions are bat for a moment' I am well and happy . How can I fail ? I do not know one gloomy moment . " This day week , Tindal , Parke , and Bolfe , the Judges , open their ' special commission' for our trials , When mine will come on I cannot tell ; perhaps Monday . I am expecting that day , my dear Julian , with exultation . To be acquitted li a thing I do sot dream of ; bat I shall have s glorioui opportunity of speaking truth . And yet I will not offend , rashly .

; C ¦ ' OXFORD . —The nwnt torn-out , or iirucc tor wt . gj in the manufacturing districts , has been attended by circumstances Which seriously concern all who value thb right of bee discussion and the privileges of English * ¦ men . The mete will of the police and of magistrates has been set above the law—pnblic meetings , even for the sole purpose of advocating temperance , have been forbidden—and hundreds have been thrust into prison for having met to discuss their grievances . Not only so , bat many men of good character and of high principle are now in prison or bound in heavy bail , under thu undefined and unproved charge of " sedition , "fox having given utterance to complaints certainly less strong ' than those made by Members of Parliament in the House of Commons , and as far less violent in words
and manner than the language of tha newspaera of both political parties towards tbeir oponents in possession of the Government Scarce a speaker at a Conservative meeting held within the last eight years—scarcely any editor of a Conservative newspaper , but might have been arrested for " sedition . " upoD charges similar to those under whioh Mr . O'Neill , of Birmingham , Mr . Leach , of Manchester , Mr . Bairstow , Mr . R . Ridley , aad others have been arrested , in whose persons the right of discussion and liberty of complaint under suffering is pat down . Under these circumstances , it has been proposed to form a "defence fund , " in order that thude persecuted men may have the benefit of legal assistance —as far as possible a fair trial , and the rights of Englishmen be maintaiutd and vindicated . Subscriptions will be received by Mr . J J . Faulkner , Old Graf ton House , St . Aldgate ' s , and Mr . Hurcomb , Three Tuns , St . Ebbe's , and the amount collected be forwarded to tbe London Committee .
LEICESTER . —Liberation of William Joru-9 , thb Chartist Lecturer . —Monday was a day of unusual anxiety in Leicester , in consequence of the i ; xpected arrival of ' tba ) s old veteran in tbe people ' s cauud , Mr .

At five o ' clock Mr . Jones was taken from the gr . ol by a policeman to the vf&ee of the Town Clerk , and then liberated . The Chartists of Leicester assembled in large numbers , singing through the streets "Spread the Charter , " and ' We'll rally around him again and again . " Mr . Jones delivered a short but energetic address to a large assembly , who had congregated together against Mr . Cooper ' s house .
STAFFORD . —THE PATRIOT COOPER . —Having had an interview on Tiiuisriay last , at the Stafford University , with our indomitable and noble patriot , ir . Cooper , I take this opportunity of informing the Chartists , through the columns of the Star , that he u > ia excellent spirits and health ; in fact , I never saw taai look so well . He is waiting , with intense anxiety , the day of his tml ; he says it will be one of his happinst days . He inquires mast eagerly after the people aai the Chartist cause . He related to me his midnight employment and daily avocation . Each morning he paces trie yard in which he is confined for an hour , then he gets hiB breakfast and sits down to write to his friet . Is , and so passes the weary hours of his confinement In the night he muses over his inward treasures ; some * times rambling through Milton's Paradise , at another time he lies with Byron , Wordsworth ^ Cowper , C'Ieridge , Homer , Virgil , Sbabspeare , Beethoven , Ha \ ' In , Mozart , an-i a hast of others ; and bo this noble advocate spends his time . He desired to be remembered to all good Chartists . —( Correspondent )

CARLISLE . —MR . BROPHY ' S LECTUHK ON THE state op enguand and ireland , with a view to show the utter impossibility op a rkpeal of the Legislative Union vndbh Pubbent Circumstances—On Monday evening laat , the above-named gentleman gave a lecture in the Theatre on the above subject , to a very attentive and numerous audience . Mr . John Hudson was called on to . preside , who , after a few observations , introduced Mr . Brophy to the meeting ; and who , on making his appearance , wss loudly cheered . Mr . Brophy commenced by complimenting the working classes on their present position , and told them that they were no longer to be deceived by false and treacherous friends , who were paid for deceiving the-people , and bringing about their own eelnsh ends . Tbe LoYetts ,
Hetheringtons , Dysons , and a host of others could now deceive the people no longer . The people now worship principles and not men , and it will be impossible either for one leader or another to mislead them again . Mr . Broiihy then alluded to the disastrous effects of Trades ' Unions in 1832 , when the Dorohester Labourers and the Glasgow Cotton Spinners were banished from their native homes and friends , and four hundred ether persons were imprisoned . Alas 1 it waa fonnd , to the people's cost , that a want of unlen has caused nearly all their misfortunes and sufferings . In 1839 the people suffered for a name ; but every new prosecution but strengthened Chartism , and tbe prosecutions now going on would only have the effect of increasing the people ' s ranks . Mr . Brophy then spoke cf tbe middle classes and commercial men .
who choose the' House of Caramons ; and went into a lengthened analysis of the materials of which that House was composed , and inquired what hopes there were for the people , while such a state of things existed . Mr . B . then dwelt at great length on the state of Ireland , showing from Parliamentary and other documents , the . immense possessions of the clergy and aristocracy of that unhappy country ; while on the other hand the great majority of the people were starring . Ho instanced several ewes of pooy persons dying for want , in the very precincts uf some of those reverend and holy men who pretended to be followers of the meek and lowly Jesus . Mr . B . then went in to the sabjects of exports as applied to Ireland , and showed from these and other documents , that the people of that country had not profited one single potato by Catholic Emancipation , but were ao * in afar worse eonditton than they were previous to its passing . He then proved to demonstration , that with the present House of Commons , composed
as it was by a very great majority of Protestants , that there was not the most distant hope for a Repeal of the Legislative Union ; moreover , were it repealed to-morrow , what good would it effect under the present state of things ? Look at the Parliaments of England , and say what they have done for the people ! Nothing , but increased tbeir burdens ; and such would still be the case , so long as the people were deprived of political power . Fur upwards of forty years , the 106 Members who represented the Irish nation had constantly voted for measures to oppresB the people , and to raise and aggrandise themselves ; and such would always be the case under the present state of things . Why do working me i not resist the tyranny which has been so shamefully practised upon them ? Let the spirit of their forefathers animate them to greater exertionf Oh I ( said Mr . B . ) I would cherish the memory of the man , who . would fearlessly attempt to break his country ' s fetters and remove the load , which now presses so heavily on the woikicg man .
"Oh ! for th 9 swords of former times , Oh ! for the men who bore them , fcc . " " Lives there a man with soul so dead . Who never to hini * eif has said , , This is my own , my cative land . " Mr . B < then touched on several other subjects , and concluded by urging the people . to fresh exertions , and : to co-opsrate with each other fox the good of tha whole . Tha foregoing : is a mere outline of Mr . Brophy ' s lecture , which abounded with the most' varied information , and . which was happily illustrated by the lecturer as he proceeded .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats . —No man can lay the charge to me that I am fond of faction—it matters not whether that man belongs to the Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association , to the Christian Chartists , to the Complete Suffrage Association , to the National Association , or to the National Charter Association , not a single member of any one of these dare accuse me of being factious . Therefore , I may safely investigate the document issued by the Complete Suffragists for convening the Conference on the 27 th December next . Every true Democrat must admit that there is the greatest necessity to convene a National Conference , but to make it a national one , what is the foundation on which it ought to be based ? Can it be called national when
a faction is to have half the power at it 1—nay , more than half the power ; for , whilst London , Manchester , Birmingham , and the towns of the greatest importance and most numeroDB population , are to be restricted to six representatives , and such very important towns as Nottingham , Leicester , Norwich , &c ., areto be restricted to four , the small towns where the millownershaye thegreatestpower can send two ; thus positively giving a double power to the patriotic electors in the election of representatives What poor man dare give an untrammelled vote on such an occasion , unless at the hazard of losing his employment , and eventually bringing destruction on
himself and family ? But to investigate the conduct of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association with impartiality , it is right that we should take a closer view of its conduct on the day it met in Birmingham ; it did not allow strangers to be present at its deliberations . Yesterday , a gentleman called on me to inform me that he was ordered , out of the room , and that when the report was brought up , when strangers were present on the day afterwards , it was the intention of the parties to allow the electors the power to elect two delegates to the Conference , for the working men's one ; and but for Mr . Stephenson , of Worcester , such would have been carried .
If such report be correct Cand I have every reason to believe it is ; if it is not , I hope I shall be set right on the matter , as I should not wish to make any false statements , tending to mislead the democratic party ) what conclusion can I possibly come to ? Can any working man—can any real Democrat oome to any but the following—namely , that this party are not sincere . I am not cynic enough to condemn a whole body for the s cts of one or a few of its members ; but when a deliberative body assumes to itself the power to concoct schemes for the advancement of Democracy , then the publio ought to scrutinize the acts of such men . What I propose to the Council of the complete suffragists is this , that , if they wish to have a bona fide representation of the people , namely , to reconsider their
address and take such steps as will bring together the whole intelligence , talent , and strength of the popular party into one great conference , they will limit the aggregate numbers of the Conference , say to 658 ; that they will divide the whole of England , Scotland , and Wales , into districts ; that according to the population in each district , delegates shall be elected ; that the people , the whole people , and neither more or less than the people , shall have the power to elect the representatives ; snch are the views I entertain on the election of Delegates to the Conference pretended to be National , to be held on December 27 th , 1842 . If the representation of the whole is not recognised and acted apon , I then in that case enter my most solemn protest against the convening of any such Convention , and denominating it National , and for the following reasons ,
viz—1 st . That it is false to call it a complete representation . 2 nd . That , if called , it has the appearance of faction . 3 rd . That it would be exactly as just to allow any _ one sect in religion to have the power to elect a majority to the Conference as to allow the electors to do so ; and what I recommend the people to do , if the Complete Suffragists persevere in their factious opposition to a complete representation of the people , is this—to protest against such injustice . Let not the non-electors make the shadow of an attempt to elect a single delegate to the Conference ; and in . every district let the honest electors , who wish to see the people fairly represented , attend the patriotic electors' meetings , and move an
amendment to their electing delegates to the following effect : — " That this meeting of electors entirely disapprove of the one-sided , narrow-minded policy of the Complete Suffrage Council , in convening a Conference to be elected contraryto the true spirit of genuine democracy and real liberty ; and cannot , therefore , for a moment , entertain the idea of at all taking part in aConvention so elected . " If ontheother hand the system of convening the conference be abandoned , and that of justice established in its place , then let every hand be at work to assist in so holy an undertaking ; let the wealth and wisdom of the Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association be put into active operation on the occasion ; let the zeal of the Christian Chartists be actively employed to forward snch an object ; let the energies of the
Complete Suffrage Association lend its assistance ; let the members of the National Association not lag in the good cause ; and let the whole force of our own great , powerful , numerous , and intelligent association be exercised on such a grand and noble objeot . To the people , I say , watch carefully all parties ; adhere to the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter ; and I repeat again , although I am not factious , and hate denunciation , yet every exertion on my part shall be made to forward liberty , to establish even-handed justice , and , as far as I am able , thwart the designs of those who would make merchandise of the people , and keep up agitation to serve their own sinister ends . I have the honour to be , Your brother Democrat , Johs Campbell . ~ — - — --ri t . ^^ . ^^^ SBBBfc ^^ fcrfEr ai ¦ ¦ a i ¦ a — —
