Friends of Liberty , —We , the undersigned committee , deem it our duty to appeal to you on behalf of the wife and family of the unfortunate victim Roberts , of Birmingham , whose case excited so much comtnisaeration at the time of bis conviction . It will not be necessary now to eater into any lengthened details of the circumstances which led to bis transportation ; suffice it to say that be told the Judge on his trial " that he was most innocent of the chargeb preferred , and that be could have proved such to tbe satisfaction of tbe court , but being too poor to support bis witnesses up to that time , they bad to leave town , and therefore he must suffer . " The present situation of his wife and family is we understand most deplorable ; hence we hope this appeal will not be made in valo .
' Englishmen , reflect on the situation of this unfortunate family , who are now pining amidst want and misery ; whose home is made desolate by tne myrmidons of tyranny and oppression—the husband banished from his native land—bia wife , his family , and ail that is dear to man , to linger through a miserable existence in wretchedness and misery I and for what ? Why , because ( as he stated to the judge ) be had not the means of buying justice . Our object in thus addressing you , is to raise a sufficient fund to purchase for his unfortunate wife a M ANGLE , bo that she may obtain a livelihood by her own industry , for herself and children , and thus tender ber independent of public subscriptions .
This bumble appeal , on her behalf , will we feel fully assured , meet with immediate and favourable consideration from every humane disposition . Her hus band , herself , and family , are victims for the cause of liberty—they claim our sympathy , and surely if a small sum win procure tne above article , and render bet aad her family comparatively comfortable , it is our solemn duty' to eee they do not starve .

Intelligence arrived in Wi ^ an Wednesday noon , that Whitley-hall , the residence of Mr . Alex . Fowden Hallibarton , was on fire . t The report caased & great sensation , as the hall is oue ef the finest mansions which add interest to the scenery in the neighbourhood of Wigan . The fire was occasioned by some lighted coals falling from the firegrate in the study down a black Sue constructed for the purpose of increasing the draught in the chimney from the cellar . Some straw , which was in the cellar underneath the study , caught are , and , had a timely discovery not been made , it is more tban . probable that the noble mansion would have been soon enveloped in flames , from its elevated situation and the strong breeze which was blowing at the ¦ tilM . s The damage done was trifling . ipl «§ iSl 0 » i Starvation . —Oa Monday morning , as a i > erBon named Andrews was proceeding to his
work iil ' fh 6 neighbourhood of the village ofHaf efield , Middlesex , about four miles front fhe town of Uxbridge , his attention was' attracted to something which he observed behind sonfe old houses in Harefield-l » ne , and on proceeding to the spot he found the body of a majreitfing upon an old saucepan , with his head bent between his knees , and quite dead ; From the dreadfully emaciated ' and attenuated appearance of the body , there can be no doubt that the unfortunate man died from fitarvatiotf , which is confirmed by the fact that no money or other article whatever was found upon him , except a quantity of haws , from the' hedges , in his pockets . There was something also in bis appearance that would lead to the supposition that he was some poor insane individual , who baying escaped from an asylum , had wandered about in a destitute state , and eventually had eat fumself down , where he died .

Release of Mr . Robert Peddib . —Under the head " Bradford , " in last week ' s Siar , it la stated that Mr . Pdddieis flvae will expire on the 17 th of March . This is a mistake , Mr . Paddle ' s time commenced on the 6 th of Marco , 1840 , and will expire on the 4 th of March , 1843 . 1 Let his friends therefore look to it . TODMOEDBN .-Magistrates' Room , Friday , Jan , 6 . !—Three persons were brought before James Taylor , Esq ., whose names are John Crowther , Wm . Overend , and Thomas Stunsfield , for cutting Mr . Joseph King ' s coat . It appeared from the evidence of William Crossley , that Crowther
and Stansfield kept the complainant in talk while Overend cut his coat . Mr . Bloomley , attorney , appeared for the prisoners ; he cross-examined Crossley but without j snaking his evidence at all . Ha then called Richard Chaffer , Ash worth Earnshaw , and Thomas Smith , and they all swore that Overend was not in the room they were in that day , but his worship conV j ioted Overend and Stansfiold iu -Is . 6 d . each and expenses , and Crowther to find sureties , or in default thereof they were to go a-month to prison , but eventually he liberated Crewther , and committed the other two fourteen day 3 .
The League and the League ' s Fund . —On Wednesday week , placards appeared on the walls of Todmorden , informing the people that an anti-Corn Law tea party would take place on Monday , in the Wesleyan Association Sohool Room , after which they wonld adjourn to the Chapel , to hear addresses from R . R . R . Moore , and John Bright , of Rochdale . The charge to the tea party a ; id lectures was one shilling , or sixpence to the lecture . Wh > Mr . j O'Connor came to Todmorden , the Coun waited upon the the trustees , to try to take the b hool Room , and the answer they got was that they could not let it for & political purpose ; they informed them that the League hnd had h once for Euch a purpose . They said , " Yes , but they were not aware at the time that ther * was a rule
upon their books strictly prohibiting all such meetings . " They distinctly stated that neither the League nor any o ^ her party should have it again . The Chartists , seeing that the League wore for making money out of them , came to the conclusion to . keep away . The ] Bill stated that no tickets-would be insued after Saturday night , but when Saturday night came , jthoy had only sold about 150 ; they , therefore , on jVionday took a very good plan to get rU of the tickets ; they placed a quantity in the hands of their ? slave drivers , end sent them round the mills , stating ] to tho people that they might J have a ticket without paying for it just then , and if any one refused to hs | . ve one they looked daggers at him . They managed to get rid of about 400 with such
proceedings as these . When the meeting coinoienced there was a > tolerable good muster , to say it was called by thejLeague . Mr . R . R . R . Moore had to take tho beggjng department , and a right good cadger he is ; he told the natives that if they would only give largely they would receive a greater reward when tha Corn Law 3 were repealed . What struck me most at the time was the manner of . collecting the money . They had got cards printed and . circu lated them inj the meeting along with a pencil , aud parties had to ] write what they intended to give upon ihe cards . This was a new move , and calculated to force the people to give contrary to their opinione ; for who durHtjrefuse to give when their employers were staring ] them in the face ? They might as well have gone to each operative and said " You
must either give something to the League fund or else you must take the bag and walk . " After they had collected the | cards , Mr . Moore got up and gaid , if there was any one that after giving the thing consideration , thought be had not given enough , he requested them to speak up ; this was an arranged plan , for individuals rose from different parts of the room and altered their subscriptions , some doubling the amount ; this was done , no doubt , to show those who had not given up to the mark . Tiiero never was in Todmorden such shameful conduct''beforeeven tht ir own friends cry shame on them , and with all they could do they only got that night £ 150 They put the ] subscription they had made before ^ o it , to make the people think they had got more than they really had . —Correspondent .
XkEAZISSEN . —Mechanics' Institute .- ^—The first anniversary of the above institute , which had beeu in existence little more than one y ? ar , was held in tho large room of the Institute , on Friday night , the 6 th inst . jits founders ( three in number , ) have , during the last twelve months , been most incessant in their labours . Many and great were the obstacles they had to { encounter , but perseverance overcame every difficulty . Whatever was considered by them as requisite for the well-being of the society , measures were immediatel y taken for its obtainment . In justice to Mr ; . Taylor , one of the founders , we
should say that his individual efforts and sacrifices , including time and money , are almost unparalleled . His general character is an exemplification of the tendency of ] the acquirement of knowledge to ameliorate aad elevate the dispositions of men . These hi ^ h and pleasureable attainments , stimulate within his generous soul , a desire to see them more generally diffused and appreciated ; and up to the present time Ibis most sanguine expectations have been more thai ) realised . About 200 of both sexes , sat down to ] tea ; after which the president and other speakers delivered appropriate addresses , and the business of ; the evening passed off most asreeably .

A Message was received from tho President of the United States , setting forth that the reason why no action was had by him ou the Bill to repeal tho distribution clause of the Land Bill , and the Bill regulating the taking of testimony in cases of . contested elections , was their presentation to him just as Congress was on the point of adjourrment , owing to which he had not time to examine , them before the adjournment took place .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STARDeaR Sir , —Oa tbe part of the Chartists of Scotland ana for the advancement of our cause in that country , I am desired to request a corner in the people ' s paper for the following resolution passed at a meuting of Scottish delegates , held in tha rooai 3 v » f tlie Mechanics' Institution , Now Hall-strefct , Birmingham , on the evening of the 30 ; h ultimo . Moved by Mr . Robert Somers , seconded by Mr . A . M'Do-ald , and passed unanimously . Rssorved— " That the Chaxti 3 ts of Scotland are bound
to see that the debt due to Mr . George R :. £ 8 , of Glasgow , as General Treasurer , should be refunded to him . And the Scottish delegates here ptese .. t pledge themselves to bring the subject before their constituents , and urge npon them the duty and necessity of getting up social meetings or any other means that may bt deemed necessary to raise funds for that purpose . And that with tbe view of recovering db much of tbe debt as possible , Mr . Boss be rtquaated to take steps to prostecute all agenta standing indebted for circulars , whose circumstances render such proceedings advisable . "
To the above resolution the following delegates have affixed their names : — Archibald M'Donald , Aberdeen . Abmm Duncan , Arbroath . Robert Cochran , Paisley . Hobsrt Somera Galloway . William Parks , Anderston . Thomas Davies . Eawick . James AdamB , Glasgow . Sainuel Kidd , Do . Thomas Ancott , Do . George Robertson , Greenock . Henry Rankin , Edinburgh . William Eniereon , L ? ith . William Davidson , Dundee . William Cotton . Kilmarnock and Aberdeen . Con Murray , Vale of Leven , and Caoapsie . Jobn Colqubeuri , Glasgow . James Moir , Dx Archibald Walker , Hamilton .
Now , Sir , the debt to which tbe above resolution refers is justly due to George Rosa , through his kindm ss in advancing rnonsy upon all occasions when the Ontral Committee for Scotland -or the cause of Chartism required it ; if those who contracted the debt as an Executive have thought proper to secede from ua without an effort to get it paid up , it is to be hoped that tbe men of Scotland far whom Mr . Rosa has done bo much , will not Allow him to be left minus of . £ 117 ; if they do , it is at variance with their general character . I remain , Sir , Sincerely yonrs , Con BIubray .
