TH AYE great pleasure ( and no small share of pride ) 1 in submitting the following encomium ap / in my little Compilation , the POOR MAN'S COMPANION for 1843 , to the notice of the public generally ; convinced that the iovcrs of bight and truth will be pleased , with me , that this three-penny-worth i >? '' Facts and Figures" is calculated to be of uae in guiding the publio mind to & correct appreciation of several political and social schemes of amelioration advocated by the advanced sections of the Reformers . The letter , in which testimony to this effect ia borne by a gentleman whose good opinion I value more than that of any other man breathing , is , aa will be perceived , ' ^ private on © to myaelf . I take the liberty , however , to use it in tKis puWic manner ; satisfied that Mr . O'Connor will not object to my doing so , aa its publication can only have the effect of accomplishing his own desire , —ensuring the increased circulation of what he deems a good and useful book ; iisefnl , I hope , to the Poor Man and to the Poor Man's cause . : ¦/'¦ . ;¦ .

BOMBARDMENT OF BAKCELONA . ( From ihe Monitor Parisien of Sunday night ) We have received the foilowingletters from Batcelona to tbe 5 th inst . Tbe following ii a summary of theii contents : — " The bombardment began on the 3 rd , at eleven , a . m ., and continued without interruption until midnight , 817 bombs having been thrown into the city , causing the greatest danags , and setting fire to several places . The quarter where the Municipal or Town-bouse is sitn&ted was particnlariy affected by the fire . General Tan Ellen Eizni&ed . on tbe 4 th , that he would give six hours to the authorities and inhabitants to di £ Arm the corpot franco * , who still held out , and if the place did not surrender at the expiration of that period , be would resume the bombardment Tbe authorities , after having convoked the principal citizens , and , assisted by a preat portion of tbe population , immediately
commenced to cliemrm the insurgents , and succeeded . The town faas suffered much , and it is impossible to estimate the damage that has been done or the number of victims who bave fallen , On tbe 5 th the flre was still T&gir g in some quartera . The French Consul , whose z&sl , energy , wisdom , and humanity , cannot be too highly praised , obtained from the Commanders of the French ships of war in the roads the a . v ince of the crews , who afforded every assistance witu their known activity . Before tbe bombardment the insnr ^ ent militia sent en masse U > the ship where their officers bad taken rtfage . dtmanriipg with fnry that they should be given nn . an- * tbe Commander 4 iad to repulse them with force . Severe ! houses belonging to the French , and even that of the Consul , were more or less dsmiged . A forced tax of two millions of piastres was about to be imposed on tfce to * n . The Regent had not yet made his enti \ met » into Barcelona As soon as the town was ?
urronnded , and Van Halen and the troops bad made their entrance s . i fire p . m . on the 4 th , the General issued the following proctamaUon : — . " Don Antonio Van Halen Sarti , Mnrphe y Castanedo , Count of Paracamps . & « ., Captain-General of the 2 nd Military District , CommandBnt-General of the First Corps d'Armee , &c The town of Barcelona having snbmltted to the empire of the laws , violated by the most Bcindalous sedition , my first duty is to prescribe the measures which at the first moment I consider most conducive to order by destroying every ee-ra of anarchy ; to ehasUn tbe crimes that have been
committed , and to protect honourable Spaniards , the faithful defenders of the legitimate throne of onr young Queers , of the Constitution that baa bees iwora to , and of the Recency , with which the nation has invested tbe Duke of Victory , by investing him with a shield of a nature to preserve their persons and their property , menaced by tbe ambition and efforts , of the partisans of despotism . Consequently , making use of the powers which have been conferred on me , and aTe ascribed to me by decree , » s Cbmmanderfn-Chief of the army in coicpaign . I decree tbe following yifctfo : —
" Art . 1 . —Barcelona is declared in an exceptional state from the first shot fired at tbe troops of which tbe brave , fa ! thfnl , and well-deserving army is coiupcaed . The state of sfc-gs will continue so long as circumstances shall reqnlre it 11 2—The National Guards of all arms is dissolved in Barcelona , until its re organisation bns been determined according te tbe rigorons terms of the lav . " 3 . —All the arms and war material belonging to the said militia . &s well as the arms extracted from the national xnairasines . 'with all the articles and effects appertaining to the State , shall be delivered up within twentyfour hours , without fail , after the date of this proclamation , te the fort of the Atarazacas . " 4- —Ab the expiration of tbe twenty-four hours any one infracting this order shall be shot
" 5 —Any denouncer ef the existence of arms in any honss . or in the possession of any individual , shall receive as a reward 10 , 000 reals . This sum shall be paid by the person or master of the house or loc . lity where the said arms shal ! ba se z 2 d . In the event of tbe incompetency of the party to pay the fine it shall be levied od the quarter where he or they live . •¦ 6 . —Within two days all arms and weapons of every tiaA . including those for hunting , shall be given up by tbe inhabitants of Barcelona , and no person shall be allowed to retain any except by virtue of a license to that effect . " 7 . —10 , 000 reals fine for the infraction of the preceding Briicle . " 8 Everything valuable , whether in horses , furniture . &c , taken from the individuals forming the gurri-Bon , to be restored , or the value thereof .
' ¦ 9 . Any one committing a robbery , or any other crime against publio order , to be shot , whether he belong to tbe population or to tbe army . " 10 . The legally constituted authorities will see that all crimes are dnly prosecuted in the interest of public justice , and any one who , by xoordi or ollieneise , commits au outrage is to be severely punished . The troops u well na the inhabitants are to forget the past , and are to embrace each other like brothers . Tbe authorities are and will remain responsible for the execution of the present decree , their minion being only to preve the offences and to T-nnish them . " Barcelona , D « . 4 , 1842 . "

KHIGHLST . —The usual delegate met tins for this district -was held in the Working Metis * S . al \ , Kelghley , on Sunday lat > t , where it was determined to call a public meeting , for the purpose of electing a delegate to Conference at Birmingham . Arrangements were accordingly entered into for that purpose , after which tbe proceedings of the Executive were brought before tbe meeting , tbe delegates being of opinion that that body bad dearly outstepped their dnty . bnt considered that the best and wisest policy under present circumstances would be the settling the affair as soon aa possible , and that active steps ought to be taken immediately for tbe prevention of such evils for tbe future . After tbe
matter bad been fairly discussed tbe following resolution was put , and unanimous y carried— " That this meeting deeply regrets that tbe conduct of the Executive should bave been such as to call for tbe exposures -which have recently been made , and that we beg to recommend tbe plan suggested by Mr . Cooper , or some other that might be agreed npon by the Delegates , at tbe forthcoming Conference , as we deem it absolutely necessary that active measures should be taken to restore peace and good will amongst onr ranks , deeply feariDg that the present coarse of proceed tag , if not instantly cheeked , will prove a great detriment to tbe sucsess of our tighteons and holy cause . "
Chelmsfokd—At a fall meeting of the Chartists of this town and its vicinity , on Monday evening , Dec . the 12 th , it was resolved : — " That we , the Chartists of Chelmsford exceedingly regret that any difference should exist in our rants , and are sorry that the Executive have in the slightest degree deviated from the plan of O ^ ginizaUoa ; we pledge ourselves to act up to the rules of our Association to the utmost of onr power . We at the same time cannot approve of tbe course taken by the Editor of the Norihtrn Star , believing that
denunciation only tends to create an ill-feeling in our body , whereas onr every movement ooght to be characterised by a spirit of kindness and brotherly love , &nd if differences exist , our sentiment * should be expressed in a friendly magnet ; we therefore hope that all bickering will cease , and that onr future movements will be in accordance with the principles of true democracry . " " That this meeting is of opinion that tbe bereaved partner of the talented , eloquent , and patriotic Dr . M'ltaxan should receive tbe full amount of bis wages daring his absence .
NEWCASTLE . —The Chartist ' s Debating Society-was commenced in tbe Qfcutist Hall , Goat Inn , on Sunday afternoon , when thetobject of a rfcpeal of the Corn Laws was discuassfd , and it was agreed that a repeal of the import duty npon com , ( without accompanying meaiurea ) would be a curse , instead of a blessing to the labouring classes of these realms . The subject to be discussed next Sunday , at one o ' clock In the afternoon , is , whether it would be wise or judicious to extend political power to tbe fair sex ? A lecture was delivered in tbe evening , by Mr Edward Charlton , on the present state of things , and the reason why he became a Chartist . The appearance of Mr . Cbarlton reminded the Chartists of bygone days , and he was bailed with most eathnsiastic ; pplauva throughout hia address . Be concluded by moving the following resolution , which wa seconded by Mr . Seed , supported by Mr . Sinclair , and agreed to nnanlmoasly : —
* That the pawns sow present see the necessity of not only uniting with the advocates of universal freedom thfcins ? lv ? s . but pledge themselves forthwith to use their every effort to induce their acquaintances to join , and , by their united tffuTts , to procure those rights to whieh we are entitled , as men and aa Britons . " Mr .

The report of the Council is to be laid before the various localities before it is made public . Arrangements were made for the publio meeting to be held on Monday , for the election of delegates to tho Birmingham Conference . A Public meeting was held on Monday , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , on the was-te ground near the Odd Fellows' Hall , Thornton . road , for the purpose of electinsr delegates to the forthcoming Conference . Mr . John White head was called to » tho chair ; he read the requisition convening the meeting , and called on Mr . Fletcher' to move the be
fii-ft resolution , * ' That four delt ^ ates elected to represent Bradford in the Conference about to bo holden in Birmingham . " Air . Mm ley seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Shackletcn moved Mr . Smyih as a fit and proper person—seconded by Mr . Wahon . Mr . Fletcher proposed Mr . Driver—seconded by Mr . Wilkinson . Mr . House proposed Mr . Ham a : ond—seconded by Mr . Hurley . Mr . Hodgeon proposed Mr . Rowutrce—seconded by Mr . Perinan . Mr . Robert Hammond proposed , Mr . John Arran—seconded by a person in the meeting . One iu the meeting proposed Mr . Clarke—seconded from the meeting . Mr . Ainley proposed Mr . Htnry Hodgson—seconded from the meeting . A voice iiom the meeting
proposed Mr . George i letcher—seconded from the meeting . Another Mr . Borrows—secooed in the meeting . The Chairman then asked if any one had another candidate to propose , and on receiving no answer , he called on Mr . Smyth , who briefly stated his opinion ? , and how he would act in tho Conference . Mr . Hurley paid ho had a few questions to ask the candidates ; first , Will you , it' elected , oppose the agitation for the Repeal of the Corn Law being mixed up with the Suffrage ! Mr . Smyth appealed to his past conduct during his being amongst them aa an answer to the question ; he most certainly would from principle . Sfcond , Will you vote for tbe Charter , details , an < name , as they stand 1 Answer—1 shall in accordance with the conviction on
my mind vote for the Charter and name , feeling we cannot afford to pay for ( nor am I desirous but would oppose ) another baptism , the first having cost us much in manufacturing ; I shall , therefore , abide by the name of the Charter ; with respect to the details , if any other is produced more democratic and moire simple , I shall feel it my duty to prefer them , but any thing shc ^ t . of the -present , I shall oppose , Mr . Driver was tUen called on , who answered similar questions in the affirmative . Mr . Hammond was questioned by Mr . WilkiuBoa—would he stick to the name , and thereby raise a barrier to a union of the working and middle classes on principle 1 Mr . Hammond eaid , if the principles and name were just , why depart from either the one or thu other !
lie was a Chartist , and would recognise no other name . Mr . Rowntree , in answer to questions put , declared agains-t mixing up any other questions with the enffraga , and read from a paper reasons for not wishiDx to change the name of Complete Suffrage to that of any other . Mr . Arran claimed indulgence from the meeting above the other candidates ; ho was not aware of having to stand before them as candidate for their suffrage . When he came to the meeting , he wished to make an impression on them , as the subject was one of life or death to the movement . He than went on contrasting the principles of Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Sturge , the object both had in view ; while Mr . O'Connor would relieve the people , and increase trade , by
putting them on the land , Mr . Joseph Sturge would give them a repeal of the Corn Laws and Free Trade . Now he ( Mr . Arran ) very much doubted if even with the Charter be could vote for a repeal of those laws . Mr . Arran was interrupted several times during his address . —Mr . Clarke said he would not make a speech or detain them ; they all knew he was a Chartist , he would therefore vote for the Charter , details and all . Mr . Hodgson declined to stand . —Mr . Fletcher said ho was there for principle ; deeignatioa 3 or names he gave to the winds . He was no Catholic , he worshipped not a Pope . Suppose a man made him a present of a mill , would he refuso it because it would not be called a factory 1 He was no O'Brienite , no
Siurgeite , no O'Connorite—he was a Chartist . —Mr . Borrows did not appear . —The Chairman then proceeded to take a show of hands for the Candidates . Mr . Smyth was first put to the meeting , when every hand was held up ; Mr . Driver next , and the show was not eo large ; Mr . Hammond next , for whom the show of hands was unanimous . Mr . Rowntree was next put , but for him the show of hands was not bo large as any of the former ; Mr . Arran was next , and the show was equal to that of Mr . Rowdtree ; for Mr . Clarke the show was less than any of the formeT , and for Mr . Fletcher about
ten hands were held up . The Chairman eaid in the case of Mr . Rowntree and Mr . Arran , he could not decide , and he should , therefore , put them again ; when Mr . Arran had the majority . Tho Chairman then declared the election fell on Mr . Smyth , Mr . Driver , Mr . Hammond , and Mr . Arran . Thus has Bradford secured three out-and-out Chartists , viz ., Mr . Smyth , non-elector , member of the N . C . A . ; Mr . Hammond , elector , member of the N . C . A , ; Mr . Arran , non-elector , ditto ; Mr . Driver is a member of the N . C . A . and of the Complete Suffrage Association , an elector , is bail for some of our body , and is ready to gi re bail for more when required . '

Tho bravo Chartists , ever ready to do their duty , wire in attendance s * the appointed time . Mr . Falvey occupied an hour in his lecture . This light from the Plague attempted to show the mighty and great advantages that would accrue from & repeal of rhe Corn Laws . After Mr . 'Falyey had finished , Mr . Bairstow took him to task about forty minuteg , and amid much applause dexnonshed
tneiree trade , cheap bread , and extension of commerce fallacies , and proved that the repeal of the Corn Laws would benefit no class permanently , but the mones-mongcr ? , mortgagees , and the traffickers in flesh , blood , and labour . Mr . Falvey attemptec a reply for an equal length of time , saluted frequently by the derisive cheers of the working men present . Mr . Bairstow again rose and made his second and last reply , and so completely set tho question at rest , that out of a meeting of 1000 persons , many middle men being present , not more than twelve voted for Mr . Falvey .

Two shares were also taken by the locality ^ and Mr . Lucas was appointed a member of the Council of the shareholders . Mine members were nominated to serve on the General Council , and a Secretary and Treasurer elected . A disoassion took place on the position of the Executive , but was ultimately adjourned ; Messrs . Pelling and Lucas reported from the Metropolitan delegate meeting . v A disoussion took place on a notice of motion regarding the policy of Chartists attending
anti-Corn Law meetings and their delegates were instructed to vote'in'favour of the Chartists attending all public meetings called for that purpose in their several neighbourhoods . Tho meeting then adjourned . The various committees for conducting the preparatory proceedings for electing delegates to the Birmingham Conference are actively at work ; but the amount of funds yet collected is very trifling , arid affords conviction of the utter hopelessness of the Chartists receiving pecuniary or other assistance from the middle chases . To this rule "there are a few honourably exceptions ; but the experience now gained will toaoh the Metropolitan Chartists in all future undertakings to rely solely on their own exertions , and to avoid all connection or union with other professing liberal parties , until they are convinced by their OUtlduot that it is a true , and not a sham union whioh they aro desirous of effecting .
At a meeting of the City Chartists , hold at 55 , Ola Bailey , ou Tuesday , it was moved and seconded , "That the Chartista of the City of London express their unabated confidenoo in Dr .

ZAJroOlT ,-Dreapf m * Fihe . —At a late hour on Wednesday night , the vicinities of the Minorws and Goodmau ' s-fields were thrown Into a most painful state of excitement by the outbreak of a dreadful fire , accompanied by fearful sacrifice of human life , in Little Prescott-street , Goodman ' s-yard * , Minories . The premisesi in which this deplorable event originated were situated at the west side of the street , within a few yards of the Blackwall railway . They consisted of a dwelling-house , four Btories high , the property of Mr . Cook , a soap-boiler , in Goodman ' s * fields , who let them out to numerous families to the number , it was reported , of m fewer than
twentyfive individuals . The ground floor was tenanted by a ^ reen-grocer , named Shackleton ; tbe first-floor front room by a foreigner ( a manufacturer of Du * ch drops ); the third floor by MrSi Holland and her four daughters ; and the remainder of the rooms by other persons , the names of whom could not be obtained . Shortly after the fire had been somewhat got under , Mr . Braidwoed directed some of his men to diFOover wheiher any person was nv ' 8 s ng , end shortly they learned from a poor man named Froudfoot , who tenanted a room on the second floor , that three of his children were not to be found . He said he had saved his wife and two children , but whether any one had preserved the
rest he was unable to say . The poor creature was running about in all directions in quest of them , and appeared almost distracted . Upon this information , Mr . Braid wood ordered two of ,-his men to ascend the scaling ladders which had been placed against the walls of the premises , and , if the rains would permit , to search among them . Atone o ' clock in the morning two bodies , namely , those of children , were found by Carter and another of the brieade among the rafters of the flooring , on the second floor , shockingly burnt and disfigured ^ These proved to be those of Proudfoot ' s children . Shortly after another t ody of a child was found on the same floor , apparently a girl of about six years of age .

But : Government have it in their" power to settle the ; question in- a ' very summary manner . It is said that there is to be a holyday in celebration . - ' of' .. the peace with' China ; and a correspondent of The Times suggests that it should be fixed for tho Monday after Christmas-day . That would determino tho mitter / or the present . The question will not recur for eleven years ; by which time , possibly , people may have learned that holydays among an over-worked people do not always hinder business , and that jast ? as uinch work may be got through as the country noads , though a holyday is not withdrawn oil an average eirery six years . — Spectator .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —As one that had nearly become a prey to the parties that distract ( in ameasurc ) our movement—for between the conflict of certain parties at present , no person will deny that we are in a distracted state—I , aa an individual , had caught the ferment ; the consequenoe of which was , that 1 used certain warm eNpressions in condomna'aon of your policy and likewise of yeur person ; this was owing to what I thought to be facts that came to my knowledge . Since then other things have transpired whioh has caused me to reflect upon my ' former thoughts and words concerning this unpleasant affair . I have no hesitation in saying that it would be well
for our cause , if it had never known some individuals that at present figure amongst us , as it is evident that Borne are not influenced by principle , but some sinister objeot ia kept iu view , in fact , 1 hear almost everyday , that which : makes me look upon some men in another light , quite different to that which I used to view them in . I cannot say I altogether approve of your proceedings at present ; nor do I approve of the proceedings of the Executive ; but the Executivo . in my opinion , is not to blame , inasmuch as they are only the servants of the Chartist DDblio , therefore the Chartist public had every right
to look after their own work ; but this is our curse . The people are inclined to trust exclusively to their , stewards to do their work honestly , rather than-call them to account . I am only what may be termed au obscure individual , nevertheless I have been called upon to table a part in tho movement , which part I have endeavoured to fulfil ; it is likewise a disinterested part , and I am determined to act always in an open , disinterested manner , in my advooacy , the principles for which 1 shall always feel the most lively interest . Trusting that you will pardon the rashnesss of which , I have been guilty , and be assured that I am determined to watch over
