their consolidation and direction . HitheTto we ha re been seeking strength ; we mast now learn to use it . Public opinion being fermed mast be directed wisely and discreetly ; and in order to this its several month-pieces and developments must be closely scanned and well over-hanled . I have heretofore been very fearful of offending ; I haTe passed in silence many things which ought to have been rebnk * d , and have exercised censure only in tkc gentlest terms when unavoidable ; I have allowed many acts of public men , which I thought
most an wise and mischievous , to pass nneensured , because 1 knew their infirmities of temper , and I knew them to be useful in extending information to those who knew nothing of our principles . I calculated , therefore , for the cause , the relative magnitude of the two evils—the endurance of the mischief resulting from their follies , or the probable loss of their services , if their pride , jealousy , or vanity , should be at all toncbed . The time has gone by for this nursing now ; the cause is too powerful to need it , and its interests too important to bear
it . I have long seen this to be an evil in the S : ar , but I thought it to be a necessary one;—it shall now be remedied . From this time the voice of admontion , and of criticism , or , if need be , of censure , though modulated toassmoothatoneasmay comport with circumstances and the safety of the cause , shall be at all times freely heard . My time , my talent , such as it may be , and my whole power of mental and physical exertion , shall be , as heretofore , devoted to the cause : while I require from you
the continuance of that strengthening of my hands , by which only my exertions caa be made effective . 1 ask thi 3 from yon not as a favour , but as & right , not in consideration of my past services bat in justice to your own present circumstances . Thus armed in mutual confidence , W 6 may safely bid defiance to the furious onslaught which now menaces our cause ; and which holds in its own right , only its mane and roar , while its teeth have been borrowed from crade impetuosity and heartless treachery in our own
Before closing this letter , I again implore you to ste to the carrying out of our organisation . Without this ihe effons of your lecturers and of yourselves lose more than half their value . Chartists should understand and act upon their own principles ; at least , in all cases where this can be done . I shall continue to press this subject of organisation upon you week by week uniil , if possible , I pester you into paying some attention to it . Were the great mass of those who hold Chartist principles now a 3 well organ ; K < i as they ought long since to have been , no governmeDt could long withstand them .
Whenever they become so organized , they will open to themselves a rista of success , but not till then . Let me but see the organization of our National Society actively working throngh the whole country before March , and let me Eee the people using their own sense , reading and studying it for themselves , thinking and deliberating on it , observing its exact forms of working and application , and using due vigilance to keep strictly to it all leaders , lecturers , and public men ; and then if ft dungeon lies before me , 1 shall walk into it with a prouder heart , and a much sweeter sense of satisfaction , than the Prime Minister of England into
Downmg-street . Let your energies be roused ; your vigour braced ; and your determination made manifest ; while your prudence , caution and coolness predominate over all . God save you and speed the Charter . William Hill ,

Fustofp Leatham , Pontefbact , is informed that the columns of the Northern Star are not o * sale for electioneering purposes . We believe there is not a whit of difference between the two candidates he names for the vffice of Registrar . Lascelles is as good as Hodgson , and Hodgson is as good as Lascelles . Each of them only wants ihe pay that accrues from the situation without much labour . Had we imagined that there teas any reason tchy Hodgson should have been recommended to the notice of the freeholders before Lascelles , we assure Flintoff Leathim that we should not have waited for or accepted his offer of pay to induce us to give such recommendation . Both Hodgson and Lascelles are the hungry dfgs of the Wfiig and Tory factions , fighting
which of them shall have the freeholders bone to pick ; and that is the only qualification that either of them possesses for the office they aspire to . If the Jreeholders have learned common sense they will give both these gentlemen ihe go-by , and elect to the tffice the man who can bring to their service legal knowledge and business talents ; one who knows , from experience , the duties that will be required from the man who occupies the po % t . If the freeholders are inclined to put atcay the playthings of political childhood , and choose a man because of his peculiar fitness for the office note vacant , they will dismiss the representatives of faction , Messrs . Hodgson and Lascelles , and elect Mr . Stephenson , who comes out as an independent man ought to do .

signatures . We have iio means of knowing from vhence it has come . They have neglected lo give avy town or other address . Balance-sheets — We cish , once for all , to inform our correspondents that documents of this nature received at the Office after Tuesday morning in each week will be omitted from that week's Star altogether . We have adopted this rule with some in ihe current publication . JOHS ri . Cl . miKr . — We have no room . The Executive . —L . T . Clascy mu * t really excuse us . We cannot insert any more letters upon this suhject . His present , in reply to Mr . Wheeler , reiterates his opinion that the election of an Executive pro tem . was an unnecessary
amd viibeccming procedure , and thai the country generaliy was not in favour of it . He denies that his expression in a former letter , of his (¦ pinion that the election teas a trick of some enemy , was intended to app ^ ' y either to Mr . Wheeler or any of his associates : he had altogether a dfferera party in his eye . This tee can corroborate , as we know to whom Mr . Clancy alluded : it was not Mr . Wheeler , or any of the present Provisional Executive . He rebukes Mr . Wheeler , and we think very justly , for the prominent exhibition in his own letter of the very fuuit ( bitterness of expressionJ of which his letter complains . This fault is entirely avoided in Mr . Clancy ' s present letter , which is
in tone moderate and gentlemanly . We entirely agree trith Mr . Clancy , that there is a great vcant of staliiily in the dh ecting power ; that there is ffro ^ s ignorortce of ihe organization or great dereliction of duly somewhere . Sahtel Holmes . —Our opinions of ihe right of women to the suffrage have been more than once staled ; but we do not think that anything'but ha ^ m could result frtm the introduci ng of that subject into the deliberations of the Birmingham Conference . A Woskt . — We have no room . John Plpp £ B desires us to apprise his brother and lister Chartists thai he is still at large , and still working in the good cause of Chartism . J .

Calvixts , Minor . —The oath of a soldier or a sailor binds him to entire allegiance , and to unconditional obedience to his officers . —We suspect that if a fiftieth part of our letters and newspapers passed through his hands he would not wonder at our being unable lo say whether we received his letter , with an Edinburgh newspaper , on the 16 th ' .

J . H . —The lines to MDouall are declined . J . K . —Reserved for consideration . L . L ., "The self-elected Secretary , " Dundee . — We - have answered the question he asks some forty times already : it is a merely nominal office under Government , the acceptance of which vacates an M .

J . Shaw —His communication is an advertisement . W . Hetwood , Heywood . —We really must be excused . Addresses from every local Defence Fund would fill the paper . The better way would be to print circulars . W . H . Dyott , on behalf of the Irish Universal Suffrage Assodaiion , begs to gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a great number of Stars . He very frequently 7 eceives letters with them ; and did time at all permit , would , with pleasure , reply in ' each instance . Immured as he is in personal business , this is impossible , and the course be fellows is this : —When papers , announced by letter , do not arrive , he writes ; when they duly come to hand he is , however regretfully , obliged to be impartially silent . Subscriptions to the Defence Fund . —We have
l « ng lists of these lying by us , comprising the individual subscriptions from many places . We would gladly find room for them if ue could ; but to c / o so would displace almost every every . description of matter . Henceforth we can only give the total amount received from each place ; our friends must , therefore , take some other means of satisfying themselves of the correctness of those amounts , and not wait until they see themselves in print . There will be no departure from this rule ; our correspondents may , therefore , save themselves the trouble of writing any -more than a line , with the whole amount , stating what town it is from . This will , of course , apply to other funds as well . Middle-class Sympathy . — We give the following frvm a letter from Peter Ricby : —
" As i nave beensurrounded with very curious circumstances during my Bhort route in the North , permit me to have a corner in your next number , by which meanb many of your numerous readers may make a corrtct estimate of middle-class integrity . " Last' week , while in Cumberland , I saw a mans ' ticket for sonp , ' or a ticket to go to the grocery ¦ w ith , and recsive , in litu of money , for wages , anything the grocer had to Bell amounting to wages . One stone of flour w *> s equal to 2 s . 8 d . in wages ; and if the working man desired to pay his rent in money he is not allowed to do bo , unless he
be prepared to take a ticket for tho bag , ' but without fiour , mind you ; therefore , the worfcman must pay his rent in fl mr . When the man takes the flour to the landlord , ihe landlord will only give the workman 2 s . per stone , although the landlord knows full well the workman had given 2 . 8 < i . per stone far it if the wsrkman ask for m-mey to pay rent with , his employer will answer him by saying , workmen ought to think themselves well off if they get something to eat , without seeking rent money . It has been known for landlords to take the stone of flour to the
grocer again ; so that the stone of flour has undergone the Bams process of buying cheap and selling dear , and no doubt passes through the same hands at a loss to the workman of more than twenty per cent . " The hand-loom weavers of Cumberland have undergone a reduction of wages , in money , of from 10 s . 4 J . to 7 s . 9 d . since the year 1839 , besides labouring under disadvantages now which then bad no existence . In Carlisle a good many of the people have adopted a very good plan for bringing the middle class to their senses , —if ever they had any , —so that , between Income-tax and exclusive dealing , the middle class of Carlisle will begin to feel something . About twenty of the workmen cinb their money together , two or three times a
week , buy their goods at the first cast , retail them out to each subscriber according to money paid down , at the said cost , and , by that means , they get their goods much cheaper , bfcsides stopping the supplies of those who hired bludgeen-nien to break the head of any man ¦ who dared to stand in the street and say he was hungry , and desired to eat . The iads of Wig ton are playing the same game toward * their oppressors . A large number of them buy a good fat cow , butcher it for themselves , and by that means have reduced butchers' meat from 7 d . to 4 d . per 1 b . They deal with sheep in the same manner . Although Peel ' s tariff reduced butchers' meat , the shopocracy were not willing that the poor should have a corresponding benefit but the Isds of Wigton are taking the profits into ; their own hands .

Closing of Pbisons for Debt . —The metropolitan prisons for debt have , within the last few day ? , presented a different appcaiauce to what they have exhibited for some t : me . The Fleet and Marshalsea prisons have been closed ; the former wa 3 shut on Saturday , and the latter on Thursday last . There were seventy in the Fleet , and only three in the Marshalsea ; and their rtmoval took place to the Qneen ' Prison , under an act passed during the last stssion , authorizing Lord xJenman to issue bis warrant for their passage from one jail to another . From . Tuesday to Saturday the removals took place from the Fleet . Some of the prisoners had been confined a very long period , and a few upwards of 20 years . An eccentric character , named Jeremiah
Board , had been an inmate of the Fleet 28 years , havmg been committed in 1814 . The case of thi 3 man , who has been removed to the Queen ' s Prison , is very singular . He was a farmer , at a place called 2 sewton ' s Farm , and was committed to the Fleet in 1814 , where he remained without much disturbance , except some Chancery proceedings , until 1838 , in which year the present act for the Insolvent Debtors' Court was passed , and in this act as an important alteration was made giving power to creditors to proceed against parties who preferred imprisonment to taking the btneh ' t of the act , by which proceeding they would be compelled to give up their proptrty . Tfee provision has been productive of considerable benefit ; persons have been
proceeded against in the Insolvent Debtors' Court , and compelled to disgorge their property ; others have arranged with tbeir creditors and gone out of custody . In the case of Board , a gentleman named Richardson , as executor of Mary Chappell , filed a petition UDQer the compulsory clause , and a nesting order was made under which he waa appointed assignee , and by a decisive act a good deal of property was obtained . A messenger of the court was scot to the prison , and on the person of Board , and in his possession , a large sum of money , and securities fcr money were found , which , of course , the assignee seized . Mr . Richardson claimed to be a creditor for £ 8 , 185 , and the matter has been before Mr . Commissioner Harris . Advertisements had been inserted lo discover creditors , but very ftw were found . Tbere was somewhere about £ 1 , 600 , and a dividend was declared . Board is now
sojourning in the Queen s prison , whero h © is , of course , a " character . " At the present period there are in the Queen's Prison about 280 persons , a very few in the roles , and those who had the privilege when the act consolidating the prisons was passed were allowed to remain twelve months . Day rules have already ceased , and the other privilege will be denied at the time mentioned . There are 228 rooms in the prison ; and in some of these appartments , by the recent increase , " chums" have been placed ; that is to say , two have been lodged in one room . Some alterations have been expected in the classification of prisoners , which will now probably take place . In Whitecross-street Prison there arc about 380 , and 120 in Horsemonger-lane Gaol . The total number of prisoners for debt iu London cay bo now stated at about 7 G 0 . Some je&rs ago there were as many in one prison .

By eight o ' clock in the morning the brave men began to wend their way towards the house of our late imprisoned friend , to prepare for his reception . At twelve they assembled in the Shaksperian Room , with a band of music and a banner made expressly for the occasion , bearing upon it the following inscription , — " We hail with joy the return of our noble patriot , Thomas Cooper . " On the reverse , — " The patriotic band of thb Leicester Chartist boot and shoemakers . " The band began to play some favourite airs through the streets to the Railway Station , surrounded by the Council ef tbe Shaksperian
Association , where they met their indomitable friend , Mr . Cooper . Tbe sight of the assembled thousands bad a wonderful effect upon him . A car was immediately engaged U convey him through some of tbe principal streets of the town in the following order . The large and splendid banner that had been prepared by the boot and sbomakers' society in tho front ; then followed the shoemakers , the band , Mr . Cooper , and the Council of the Shaksperian Association with wands , attended by its members and friends to the amount of 10 , 000 of human beings . The procession baa never been equalled since the great agitation for the Reform Bill . The procession moved down the London-road , up Belvoir-street , along Market-street , Market-place , Belgrave-gate , Woodboy-street , Wharf-street , up
Humherstooe-gate , to the Amphitheatre , where Messrs . Duffy and West ( late a prisoner in Derby gaol ) delivered animated addresses to the assembled multitude oat of the windows of the Shaksperian Room . At five o ' clock , more than 409 persons took tea on the stage of the Amphitheatre , the band playing in the orchestra during the time . After which the company delighted themselves by dancing and other amusements in the Circus till eight , when the lectures were to commencs . At half-past eight , the spacious Amphitheatre appeared one mass of human beings ; there could not be less than four thousand people . Mr . Duffy was called to the chair , who , after a few brief remarks , introduced Mr . West , who spoke nearly an hour in defence of those great principles contained in
the People ' s Charter . Mr . Beesley , from North Lancashire , followed , and spoke at great length on the land question , showing that if the people were to lay by sixpence per week for the purchasing of land , they would soon be in the full possession of tbe elective franchise , and by those means they would be able to overthrow the present system of sristocratical Government . After a few other remarks he sat down amidst loud cheers . Mr . Cooper then rose amidst loud and long protracted cheering . He bsgan by showing the fallacy of asking the poor for sixpence per week , when they were actually starving for want . He then alluded to tbe Complete Suffrage and Corn Law movements . The policy of Sit Robert Peel , and tbe effects of classlcgislation . He then related what he bad had to
contend with during the last eleven weeks he had been immured in Stafford Gaol ; gave an account of bis trial , and tbe wily tricks of the Solicitor-General , who pretended to be acting with the greatest fairness , yet the subtleness of the silvery-tongued crocodile were stabbing him at every sentence . He then , in an eloquent strain , and the tears trickling down bis cheeks , related the soul-harrowing tales of the interviews between those persona who were doomed to a foreign land to perpetual slavery , and their friends . He said he would never cease agitating for those poor creatures—poor Ellis is innocent—yet he is banished . I will ge , said be , to London , to Mr . Duucombe , if I have to walk , on behalf of that persecuted individual . After a few other remarks be sat down amid loud cheers .
Mr . Markhani came forward and said , that he never in bis life listened to Mr . Cooper with greater pleasure than he did that ni gbt , and be hoped the day was not for distant when all reformers would join in onecampact . After a few other remarks he held out his band to Mr . Cooper , which he took , and said , " many a time have I requested this band , but it waa refused . " They both said that all past differences should be burled from tbis time ( Great cheering . ) The following resolutions were adopted during tbe night Moved by Mr . Coulston , and si conded by Mr . Hunt— " That this meeting haa the greatest confidence in the integrity and honesty of our noble patriot , Thomas Cooper , and return him their sincere thanks for his manly defence on bis late trial , on behalf of those great principles contained in tbe People ' s Charter .

DUBLIN . —Tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association met as usual , on Sunday . Mr . Woodward was called to the chair , and the minutes being read , Mr . W . Dyott , the secretary , read a communication from an American gentleman named Wright , a membrr of the Society of Friends , who was desirous of addressing thrm . Mr . O'Higgins proposed and Mr . Clarke seconded the admission of three new members whose names were transmitted by Mr . Leeson , of Newton Mount Kennedy , in the county of Wicklow . Mr . O'Higgins paid a wellmerited compliment to their indefatigable friend , Mr . Leeson , who waa beating np for recruits so successfully ; he moved the insertion of his letter on the minutes , and hoped his example would prove a Btiraulus to other members to exert themselves in the propagation
of thoFe opinions which he conscientiously believed could alone work out tbe political regeneration ef Ireland—( hear . ) A certain great man had the audacity to declare publicly that there were no Chartists in Ire ' and —( laughter)—although he was sure his friend , Mr . Djott , would readily show him their books containing the names of 1040 good men and true pledged Repealers of the Irish Union , through the only moral means by which it could be achieved or made of any value to the public—the obtainment of Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliament * , Equal Electoral Districts , the Abolition of the Property Qualification , and Payment of Members—( hear and cheers)—and if that was r . nt Chartism , he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) did Dot know what it meant—( cheers . ) But
what estimate did O Connell set on the intellect of the Irish nation -when he dared to enunciate without fear of contra < 1 iicton from any despicable roadies that crawl before him in the Corn Exchange , the atrocious falsehood , that there were not in Ireland any men honest , independent , and fearless enough to avow the creed of Richard Cartwright , Hunt , Cobbett , and O'Connor T Did he think the creatures there believed what they wanted courage to deny ? Did be forget that poor Tom Steele had declared , but a week before that they were all Chnrtists , tboun . h not O'Connorites—a distinction without any difference . ( Hear , hear . ) He believed in Mr . Sturge ' s honesty ; and he ¦ was no more a blind follevrer ot Mr . O'Connor than he was a lickspittle of Mr . O Council ' s : but it waa justice
only to Mr . O Connor to ailow that on ? y for his enorgy and perseverance they would not have Mr . Sturge in the position he now occupied ; they would not have even tbe stunted portion of equivocal middle-class sympathy they enjoyed ; they would not have Mr . O'Connell himself re-adopting tbe « ix points . It was Mr . O Connor who thrust Annual Parliaments down his throat . —gainsay it who could : and , as to there beiDg " no Chartists in Ireland , " be would reply to O'Connell in his own words , addressed to their talented and esteemed secretary , " Bah ! " "Felly apd trashP ( Hear , and loud cheeriDg . ) On that insult , Mr . Dyott had calmly observed , that their " trash" was truth ; their " folly" tbeir having so long believed in the sincerity of a man who had notoriously sold Ireland for Whig patronage and family aggrandisement—( loud cheering )—playing the game of a faction he had
de-Bervedly styled " base , bloody , and brutal , " at tbe expence of a generous and confiding , bnt duped and betrayed , people , for upwards of seven years , while county after county was given up , —in many cases bartered for offices , —and the liberal strength at last so reduced that the " Liberator" himself wa » thrust out of Dublin , and only elected ( after bloodshed and battery ) in Cork —( hear )—all tbe whil « that a splendid registration staff fattened on tbe people ' s funds on Burgh Quay . ( Hear . ) Why if tbere were not CbarliEts in Ireland , after such experience , they would deserve to live and die slaves . ( Hear . ) For who did not perceive that the working classes bad got nothing by all the rquabbles in which they b * d been engaged ? ( Hear ) Who did not perceive that they never would get anything till tbe franchise—their undoubted light —pave tLtm Jpower In tfceir own House of Assembly . ( Hear . ) And wbo , like him , would not there declare

Chartist , b « t until the people from the Giant's Orater * u a I . Clear * and from tbe HU 1 of Houth to the Acnlll Head , were no longer afraid to avow their oonviction , and glory in the term which would unite them with their fellow men in England and Scotland in one determined straggle to obtain the glorious realizv tlon or that document which Mr . O'Connell himself drew op , and of which he declared that the man who did not acceds to it waa ettkwr » knave proEting by the evils or misrule or a fool on whom fa « ts and reasoning made no impression . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . )—Mr . Clark md he hoped foi the sake of Mr . OConnell ' s reputation , O'NeJl Daunt would act the part which Gil Bias did by the Archbishop of Toledo , and give him a hint to retire
. ( Hear , and langhter . ) It really was pitiable to see a publio tnan floundering as the " Liberator" was for some time back . He could understand and cope with a man who opposed Chartism openly , but to see a man admitting now the innate utility of Chartism and next declaring he could have no connexion with its advosttes—this day swallowing the six points and next quibbling about Universal Suffrage , Complete Suffrage . Mannood Suffrage , &o . all of which being explained amounted to the same thing , was what he coold not unravel . Theman wpi surely demented ( laughter ) , or was trying how far he could practice on the parisites and ninnies he was naiiducting through the tedious and labyrinthical fool ' s march , in seach of repeal : which they had as much chance of getting , as he ( Mr . Clarke ) had of makfog a mortice without a chisel ( bear , hear . ) For himself , when he
heard how O'Connell , in all his contradictions and absurdities was applauded and listened to , he almost blushed for Irishmen ( cheers . ) Mr . Fowler said , that it was their industrry Mr . O'Connell fonnd fault with . Let them rally at public meetings , —( hear )—and organize their electoral strength , ( hear . ) He knew they had at least twenty-flve or thirty good votes already—( hear . ) He got his perfected the other day , and so did Mr . Dyott their sesretary—( cheera ) Let them be ready for an election , no one could tell how soon that might happen—then their existence , respectibility , and influence would be most gracefully acknowledged , and they would rail themselves either to Whig or Tory , whichever would come np to their price , arid give a written pledge to support no a'Jminstration which would not support the Charter— ( ChMter . ) They could easily make their voters fifty—enough to tarn any election . — ( Loud cheers , )
WALTON . —Mr . Bairstow delivered two powerful and animated lectures in the Market-place , on Monday and Tuesday evenings , when there was a remarkably good attendance , and the attention and interest paid to the lecturer , evinced an extraordinary degree of
enthu-. : NEWCASTLE . —Mr . W . Kimpster Robson delivered a lecture in the Chartist's Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening , at six o ' clock , on the evils of the present system , and the good that must inevitably accrue to the working classes of these realms in the event of the People ' s Charter becoming the law of the land . The spacious Hall was crowded to tbe door , and Mr . Robson most enthusiastically cheered throughout his able lecture . He did the subjects he discussed great justice , painting in their true colours the innumerable evils inflicted upon the wealth-producers of this country , proving to the satisfaction of his numerous audience that class legislation introduced and cherished
them to the alarming extent to which tyranny and oppression had now arrived . He likewise proved tbe Charter to be the only antidote , and defied any nan or body of men to come forward and prove the contrary . Mr . Sinclair , who was unanimously elected to the chair , took a show cf hands whether they were satisfied with the arguments adduced by Mr . Robson in defence of tbe Charter , and that tbe Charter would enable tbe wealth producers to ameliorate tbeir own condition . A forest of hands were held up in approval of Mr . Robson ' s opinions , and none to the contrary . Mr . Peter Rigby , from Chorley , will lecture In the ' - . me Hall on next Sunday evening , at six o ' clock ; la . 6 d . was received for Mr . EUis ' s defence , and Beveral names were enrolled at the conclusion of the lecture .
The Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead held their weekly meeting in the Chartist ' s Hail , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Monday evening a * usual , Mr . John Toung in tho chair . The minutes of the previous meeting having been confirmed , Mr . Sinclair said he had great pleasure in informing the meeting that one of tbe honest men ef Blaydon ( a small village near Newcastle ) called on him this morning , and banded him £ l 5 s . from the friends to a fair trial in Blaydon , for the General Defence Fund , beirig the proceeds of four pairs of children's shoes , and two portraits presented and raffled for tbe good of the victims of Tory misrule , and Anti-Corn-Law treachery . The secretary was then
instructed to remit the Bum of £ 2 to tbe general treasurer for the Defence Fund , making , with the sums formerly remitted , £ 4 forwarded by the Charter Association of Newcastle for that laudable object , and to state that as many of the collector ' s books have not been handed in yet , that we will send another remittance in the course of a few days . Men of Northumberland , and Durham look at the noble example set you by the good men and true of Cramlington , Shotley Bridge , Blaydon , some of tbe factories in Newcastle , whose names we dare net mention , ( tyranny being so rife , ) and go and do the Bame . Several sums were paid into the lecturer ' s fund , and aft r some local business was disposed of the meeting adjourned .
MANCHESTER , —Tbe Chartist joiners and painters held their weekly meeting on Friday evening last , in the Large Anti-Room of the Carpenters' Hall , when they were ably addressed by Messrs . Lane and Partington . Cabpentee ' s Hall . —On Sunday last two leotures were delivered in the above ^ ball , one in the afternoon by Mr . Dauiel Donovan , of Manchester , and the other in the evening by Mr . Thomas Clark , of Stockport The attendance in tbe afternoon was not very numerous , owing to the rain falling without intermission . Mr . John Murray was called upon to preside , Mr . Donovan delivered a most excellent address , which was loudly applauded throughout . In the evening the hall was crowded . Mr . Jeremiah Lane was called to the chair .
Mr . Thomas Clark on coming forward was greeted with loud cheers . He entered into a variety of topics of deep and general interest , and animadverted in severe terms upon the conduct of Lord Ablnger at the late special commission at Liverpool . He then recommended the system of exclusive dealing as being in every way calculated to benefit the cause of Chartism , and called upon all persons present to aVstain from intoxicating drinks so that they may be the better enabled to contribute towards the support of those friends who bad become the victims of class tyranny , and concluded by calling upon tV . e people to support , by every means in their power , that portion of the press which advocated their interests , more especially the Northern ami Even ' ny Stars , A collection was then made id support of the Hall . Mr . Doyle was then called upon by the Chairman to say a
few words upon tbe subject of himself and colleagues being called npon to appear before her Majesty , to answer certain conspiracies and misdemeanours of which he and they stood charged . Mr . Doyle made his way to the platform , and exposed the many attempts made to put down and imprison those who had the manliness to come forward in opposition to tyranny and injustice , but the Government would find they and their emissaries bad shot wide of their mark , for he had not the least doubt , nay , he could assure that audience , both for himself and his friends , that they would , if spared , return from tbeir dungeons to attack again , with renewed vigour , the proud citadel of corruption , and never relinquish the contest till death ov victory crowned their efforts . Mr . Doyle retired amid tremendous cheers , and the meeting broke up .

TO THE CHARTtSrS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —As yonr attention hasbeen drawn to the balance-sheet of the Executive by tbe Editor of the Northern Star , in last Saturday ' s paper , and as there has been some discussion on the subject already , I will at once explain what perhaps may be considered objectionable items in the balancesheet . . . : : ¦ • ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ -.-. ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ The first is postage and stationery for the quarter ; averages 18 s . per week . Now , be it boms in mind , that out of Uiis the whole postage expenses of the
Executive had to be taken ; that it is not merely for letters alone , but also for postage of cards , paying money orders , and , in many Instances , patties do not pre-pay tbeir letters . On some occasions correspondence is unusually heavy ; as at the commencement of our accepting tffice , previous to the strike , &c , Stationery includes paper , pens , ink , wafers , sealing wax , twine , wrapping paper , &e . If this account is satisfactory , well and good ; if not , I cannot help it . I candidly confess I cannot make it more plain .
I must now allude to one item in my own travelling ixpenses , viz . £ 2 10 a . from Manchester to London , f « r railway fare . The countiy can satisfactorily judge why the extra Its . was charged . Aa to Mr . Bairstow ' s travelling expenses , that genteman , I make no doubt , cau explain all satisfactorily . I can only state , from my own knowledge of the fact , that he was a fugitive , not knowing but the harpies of power were at his heels . Mr . Leach can answer for his expences ; I am sure of that . The £ 3 5 s . in the commencement ef the sheet , had to be expended In agitating Lancashire , around Manchester , at the commencement of the present quarter . Now for the last objection that has been made by two or three parties , viz , the Doctor ' s wages . We allowed him an extra ten shillings pur week , because we
considered he earned it He was residing in Londonhis exp ? j : ces were heavier than Leach's or Bairstow's in the country—hla talents , his honesty , his judgment , his worth , induced us to believe , instead of an objection being raised by any party to his getting two pounds per week wages , they would have bailed it with delight . Moreover the Executive considered they had only acted on the plan of organization . When the Executive met in Manchester on the 16 th cf August , we bad other fish to fry than think of ten shillings per week extra or less ; but when M'Douall and I mtt afterwards , and the matter was explained to him that certain parties objected to it , " Very well , " said he , " no mote two pounds per week for me ; if the country considers that you pay me too much , why let it be as it wishes . " He had only an opportunity to receive one week's wages when he had to become an exile .
I have no more to siy than this , that I consider the Association ought to continue his wages to his familythat I cannot do . I advanced him ten pounds out of our funds , and was glad to find I had an opportunity to do so . Perhaps I have exceeded my duty in so doing , if so I will repay it out of my own pocket . I am sorry I cannot pay Mrs . M'Douall her husband ' s wages j this is the seventh week of the quarter , and I have been enabled to pay her the sum ot three pounds . Leach has not received a penny of wages for the quarter ; Bairstow has received wages for nearly four weeks ; myself not one . Such are the state of the funds . We ought to meet immediately if possible . A return of the paying members ought to be made by the sub-Secietaries ; and all those parties who have received cards should either return the cards or pay for thsm .
I have made as plain a statement of facts as I can . A further explanation I cannot give . I have been as brief as I could . I remain , Tour brother demecrat , John Campbell , Secrstvy P . S . Mr . Morgan Williams received only one week ' s w » ges for agitating in Wales . I paid it him before I left London for Manchester , and having Manchester in my thoughts at the time , I booked it " Morgan Williams from - Merthyr Tydvil to Manchester , £ l . 10 s . " and when told of it I flatly contradicted it ; I said such on item could not be entered . But on referring to the book I found it to be such . However , parties will see it was a mere mistake . J .
