      Mt i > eab J&jxsis , —Before I ^ ofer a few observe » tioB 3 ob ocr present position , I shall have pleasureIn relating what 1 have "witnessed 3 « &m ihe last few dajs . On Sunday evening , I addressed the people of Jlancbester in the Carpenters Hall , and fonnd the game , if not an Inere& 3 ed determia&iioE in that tiiadel of Chartism , to keep the spirit and the principle aliTe . For more minute particulars I must refer yon to a report of crar proceedings .

      On Monday morning I walked to TJewton in company with my young and exeeUant friend , Rankuij to inspect ihe crops of the Trire-workers , who have recently taken four acres of land in that neighbourhood , aboat tare * inSes tlisiant from Manchester ; and from what I saw I confidently assert that the present occupiera will , —after paying all expences , — bf able to purchase the land for ever before their ierai , whieh is for / our years , expires . 1 saw many of the neighbours and soma travellers , who declared that the onions and potatoes , which constitute the whols crop , are the best they haTe seen this year ;

      and the nions are the best I haTe seen for many year ? . The whole plot is cultivated upon my plan , and 2 aaeerely wish that every Chartist in Manchester , indeed in the whole country , jroaid see the cropg and jndge for themselves , making allowance foz the unfavourable seas&n . There were some twenty or thirty assembled upon the spot , and I gays them all the information that they required to convince them that ihe Land and the Lend alone is the tjtixg te make the labourers independent of Whigs , Tories , and Free Traders .

      Oa Tuesday I went to Liverpool and had a most Bp lesdid , aad what the press would call a " highly respectable" meeting . M The proof of the pudding is in the eating " : and you Day jadge of our numbers and respectability , when I tell you , that £ 12 03 9 A jfi » received for sdmksion money . Mr . Goodfellow , landlord of the Temperance Hotel , and an old and consistent Cbartui , was called to the chair , and our friend Mr . T . Smith was the fct speakfei : subject " Conspiracy" and the Irish State Trials . He made an excellent speech , sad declared himself both Chartist a > d Repealer

      amid ihniiders of applanse . Being _' a very wealthy gentleman , his profession of the latter faith—he was a lwajs a Chaxiisi—was of importance . 1 followed , sad spoke at great length upon the trials and the histcry of Ireland , and what the has suffered : and if I may judge fiom the enthusiasm with which my discourse iras rsesived , ii gave universal sa ^ factiou . It is & subject that 1 love to d- ^ sll on 5 &ad I have Tsairy enough to ssy that I would cheerfully give £ 20 for a verbatim report sf that speech . Mr . William Jones , our old friend , followed , and made a most powerful and -eloquent appeal on

      behalf of Ireland , and the victims of the late proceedings . His speech was rsptnronsly applauded , as it well merited 10 be . - He concluded by moving 3 resolution condemnatory of xna prosecutions , and ia seppon of the Repeal of the Union , which was tsrried . by acclamation ; after which , two staunch CnartiatSj whose names I could not catch , proposed snd seconded The address passed at Corim Garden to OConccll , and which was carried by tha whole jsdiencerising , simultaneously cheering , and waving their hats and handkerchiefs for several jmnntes

      la short * I never witnessed such a scene as the vhole house , gallery , hall , and stage presented . The meeting honoured me with a vo : e of thanks , » nd rubscribed 16 s . 4 d . for the Executive . I then proceeded" to enrol memosrs , when Eany look out cards , declaring that they were noiv Rcpeakrs and Chartists . Afier a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the vast assembly again To ? e , and gave several rounds-of cearJy cheere for O'Conatll and Repeal , for O'Connor and the Charter ; and thus ended the second act of ihe union between the English and Irish working classes .

      Eow could I have forgotten to mention that perkaps fee heartiest cheer of all was for onr own . leader , Dancombe—whose name is never mentioned without » pplause 1 And wbiie on this branch of my subject , five me leave to congratulate tie Dnncombe Tesri-Bonial Committee on tha fact , that the Trades of laneasbire aud Yorkshire are not idle , bnt on the contrary are at work collecting the National Tribnts to a far greater extent than I imagined . tcesdat .

      On Tuesday night I addressed ihe Manchester people in the Carpenter ' s Hall , to assist James Lach . We had anotier hall full , many Irishmen of the number . My friends , accustomed as they-are to Manchester enthusiasm , assure me thai they never £ » w that of Tuesday night surpassed . My subject wss , " Ireland and the Sate Trials . " At the close we had a collection for the Exe-. utive , and many Irish Repealers came and took out cards ; and in almost every instance where they paid in silver , thej were loath to take the change , but wished to giteallfor tha cause . Tae address to Sir . O'Conneli was moved and seconded , and carried with as mnea enthusiasm as at Liverpool . Mr . Dixon then , K my request , read the address of Mr . Storge to

      tse people of Birmingham amid the greatest appbwse ; asd he moved that I should be delegated bjibe meeting to consist in the return-of Mr . Siurge : bo that yon see what strange thing 3 will sometimes happen , in spite of fate . Yon find Feargns O'Connor supporting the two men who of all men liviDg hive biased him most . At foot yon will find Mr . S : nr ^ e 3 address ; and besides the grand principle involved m supporting the man who has thu 3 volunteered to destroy the bnggabooism of "O , dox ' t sjvj de the Liberal istekest , " we nave the first Mention from tbai class of a Repeal of the Union , is the pledge of an English candidate . It wonld \ i an in .-ult to expatiate upon the document . Type tcmld npt make it more expressive , j rhile comment Tould but weaken it .

      Besides these many cheering considerations , there i new , for the first time in our history , a great sniggle bting made fbr the vote of those who nnder te present system can insure one . In London , iiicbesrer , and Birmingham , the Chartists are * &ing rapid progress in Registration .

      magnify and perpetuate the divisions and hatred between the people of Ireland . The good men of ? nr movement in London , Liverpool , and Manchester has almost celebrated our newly-formed onion between Englishmen and Irishmen , as a jubilee . Usios we have looked for ; dissention we have deplored . A nni » n has been iormed ; and behold the monthers about dissension are the first to complain ! Yes ; but thank God , those who would perpetuate personal animosities to keep profitable abuses . alive , ara few and insignificant .

      My friends , I have been more denounced for endeavouring to conciliate foes , than for anything else ; and yet whereTer that course can tend to your strength , I will ever pursue it , regardless of the sneers of fools . 1 will unite with any man living that can give force to my principles , liberty to my fellowmen , and Nationality to my country . My dear friends , when the people of England and Ireland understand each othtr , the day trill belong to Laboitr . Lefr our Irish brethren know that you are bsisaukss from principle and not from expediency ; and assure them if yon had the vote

      tomorrow , you would vote for no man that would not pledge himself , —not to Federalism or Corporation representation ; not even to " regeneration "; bat to Repeal ; to a Parliament fox- Ireland returned by the Catholic people , and not by the Land of either Whig or Tory . Let no man despise a union with the bravest , the most noble people upon the face of the earth : a people who , in their poverty , gave £ 12 , 500 in twenty-day 3 , as a proof of sincerity ; a people 1650 of whom went from Manchester to Dublin to attend the Cloatarf meeting—a proof of devotion , which must have cost them nearly £ 3000 .

      Relying in our union , disregarding the squabbling , and resolving to make one more extensive tour among you , I am , a 3 ever , your faithful friend , Fkabgits U ' Cosmob .

      • v TG THE ELECTORS AXD NON-ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BIRMINGHAM . Fetlow Towssmbm , —Having been unanimously inviieil by a public meeting of electors and non-electors , held thia day , at the Town-ball , to stand as a candidate for the representation of this Borongh , I consider I should be shrinking from a public duty , were I not to accept the invitation , and aach a mark of conS&ence demands that I should explicitly avow my determination to go to the polL This I have resolved to do . As I- belong to no party , and Trill always support measures based npon the principle of equal justice , froBi "whatever qoarter they may emanate , I will briefly Bi 3 te my viewa on some 0 / the leading pnblic questions .

      Aa man is responsible to his maker alone for his religions belief , I hold that no human authority has any right to interfere therewith , so long as the peaca and Welfare of society is preserved . I hold , therefore , that thsre should be no conn « cion between the Church and the State ; that all ecclesiastical demands shuuld ba abolished , sni that religions instruction ahtnld be perfectly volnnts'y-1 TTminhnin thai ltgiiimaie commerce should 06 free ¦ with all the -world , —that the uecessaries of life should bs exempt from taxation , —aisd that the public revenus should be raised from the property , and not drawn from the industry of the country . ** While an advocate for a irritable provision for the poor , 1 am o ? pos « d to thfl present Poor Law , and every other law which treats honest poverty as a crims . The cruelty of all such enactments ia greatly aggravated by measures which deprive the working classes of the meanaot employment .

      As an advocate of the principle in legislation , " all things -whatsoever ye -would that men should do to you , do ye even bo to them , " I wou ^ d observe that this oVjeci can sever be really promoted by any act that , on calin . rtflf « non , -wonld produce regret or sel / -reproach . In my judgment , therefore , Nsval and Military Establishment * , involving , aa tbey do , the destruction of human life , tndanger the safety of the nation , and are a direct violation of the spirit and precepti of Christianity . The snppTesssoD of peaceable pnblic meetings in Ireland , and the prosecution of those patriots who legally sooeht to obtain justice fcr her people , is one of the most fligrant attempts , in the history of modern times , to destroy the constitutional rights of the British nation . Ireland is not only entitled to demand the maii * geni « Dt of her ovra affairs , by means of a domestic Legislature , hat , in my opinion , such a measure would reallv promote the integrity of the Union .

      H&ving Ion ? been petinaded that these and other evils have their root in class legislation , and that tbey cannot be remedied until this be removed , ths chief object to -which I should devote my attention , in the event of my return to Parliament , would ba to obtain a " full , fail , and free representation of the people "—namely , the exUnsion of the elective franchise to every male cibz ? n of twenty-one ; vots by ballot ,- no property qualification ; payment of Members ; equal electoral districts , and Annual Parliaments ; and cordial y approving of the constitutional plan proposed by my friend , William Sharman Crawford , M . P ., of opposing any grant of supplies until this representation Is secur % d , it is my intention to give it my strenusua support in the next session of Parliament , sheuld 1 then be one of its Members . Hoping to meet you on the day of nomination ,

      I am , respectfully , Joseph Stuece Birmingham , 7 th month , Slh , 1844 .

      TO MR . JAMES MOIR . Mr beae Moib , —I cannot sufficiently thank you for your valuable , your candid , and your able letter . O how many rejoiced in the prospect of another " Chartist tear ! " My friend , I shall commence by begging your pardon for having been guilty of the folly of receiving even a momentary impression from aser > ile newspaper calculated to render explanation at all necessary . The fact is , tkat men will sometimes profess to believe when they doubt ; and no le » 3 than seven copiea of the paper containing the libel npon your speech were sent to me . But I will not add insult to my momentary crednlity , by dwelling longer npon that part of th » subject . I

      now say , thai with a single exception , I cordially agree in every sentence of your letter . The point upon which I differ is this : i join you in regretting that apathy which keeps ns poor ; and I agree with you that it arises rather from the will than the necessity . But I do not agree ihat even the want of will proves the absence of nnion . There never was so great a rinion of sentiment amid so much poverty . In proof whereof , witns-33 our ability to beat all other parties , one hundred to one , as far as numbers , talk , and enthusiasm go ; and while the people will not snbseribe , yet can no party influence take ten from our ranks in any one town in tha Empire . In

      December , I * i 2 , he had exhausted the national exchequer by a heavy drain for a Defence Fund ; and yet when the Charter was supposed to be in danger , the people sent nearly three hundred delegates from all parts to uphold even the iumc , at an expense perhaps amounting to £ 2 , 000 . I shall say no more than tnat your reply is that of a reasoning politician , of a zealous patriot , and of a honest man : a reply which will have an important effect npon the apaihenc , and give an impetns to the faithful . - 1 am , my dear Moir , Your sincere and faithfnl Friend ,.

The Bradford pamphleteers are most anxious for a reply to their trash , in the hope of obtaining a sale .

There was a numerous and respectable attendance . No conclusion was como to , but ths discnssion adjourned to Sunday next , at two o ' clock in the afternoon . —In the evening Mr . William Scholefield , of Salford , will deliver & lecture in the same room , Mill-street . Mr . MGrath ' s Too * . —In all the towns through which I have passed , 1 have fonnd from observation aud inquiry , that the miud 3 of the people are radically imbued with a thorough knowledge of the subhme and sacred principles of which the Charter is ihe exponent ; fally convinced of their truth and justice , and the necessity of their legal establishment as the prelude to man ' s Social redemption . The working classes of Great Britaiu , thanks to the existence of the National Charter Association

      and the exertions of the democratic press , are now impressed with the great truth that their investiture with the panoply of political power constitutes the only medium for Eecuring an equitable portion of those blessings with which industry , science , and the benevolence of the Deity , have made the world to abound . The rays of political knowledge are cow radiating millions of minds . True , the voice of agitation has been lulled , not from indifference but exhaustion ; it is not now so vociferous as it was woat to be ; but wo are rapidly approaching the time when it will be again heard throughout the length

      and breadth of the empire , when its thunder-note will be " the Charter , the whfjle Charter , and no surrender , " That compound ef hypocrisy and fraud * the Anti-Corn Law League , is politically defunot in every town in Eagland and Wales . They dare not . openly confront pubiio opinion in any locality , so thorough is the contempt of the people for their paltry nostrum . The repesi o £ the Corn Laws and Free Trade as a panacea for Baf ' ional distress , might have Euiied ihe intellige nee : of working men in days gone by ; but the national xah \ d is ascending the activities of knowledge ; r , now looks abroad on the political horizon ' . from ta loigber altitude than , ever , and is

      Untitled Article

      convinced of theinefBoioncy of any means of nations melioration save and exoept the universal enfran chisemeut of man . The working classes arc in poin of general information thirty y ^ rs in advance of tii middle class League ; aud yet in the plentitudec stolidity , theCorn Law Rspealera , instead of quicken ing their pace and advancing with the march o jnind , would cause a retrogression of mental more ment to the point from which half a century ago i started . Failure , however , has been the fruit of iheii efforts . The jwople are sick of the nostrums o faction ; they Have acquired wisdom in that best o all schoolsy-experience ; the accumon of the nation ' s mind can never again be blunted by the sophistry oi finesse of political empirics . On Wednesday I arri

      ved in Wotton-Hnder-Edgo . The Cdbrt House oi Magistrate ' s Boom as it is called , was procured foi our meeting , Mr . Laoy was appointed to fcho chair . The meeting was numerous and spirited ; at the couclusion of my leoture , for which I received the unanimous thanks of the meeting , I disposed of fifteen cards of membership , and received four ehillinge contribution to the Executive . The people ia this little town , though surrounded by the most delightful and fertile country tbo eye of man ever gazed on , are excessively poor . Tho manufacture of eloth is the staple trade . Upon diligent enquiry I have ascertained that the average wages of the weaver does notjBXceed six shillings per week . The masters here are , fof the most part , Corn Law Repealers .

      The most odjous pystem of tyranny and proscription v are practised by the mammon-worshiping steamocracy of this district ; the mere avowal of the principles of political truth having in numerous instances been visited with expulsion from the factories . From Wotton I proceeded to Merthyr . Had a crowded meeting on Saturday evening , I lectured again on Sunday evening . Our room was thronged ; many had to go away , unable to obtain admission . The Rev . David Johns , Unitarian Minister , was unanimously called to the chair . He addressed the mfetingin Welch , eliciting the warmest approbation . My lecture seemed to give general satisfaction . The meeting was further addressed by Mr , Johns , an iron manufacturer of

      tho town ; Mr . Ellis ,-and Mr . Taylor , i » the vernacular language , and were warmly applauded . A goodly number of names wore added to tho roll ot ' the association . On Monday I attended a members ' meeting , which was numtirousandspirited . Arrangements were commenced for holding a public meeting in the Market-fquare , on Monday next , to petition for the liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones . My attendance was requested and promised for the occasion . It is expected to be a spendid meeting ; one worthy of tho noble and philanthropic object tor which it is convened .

      Manchester . —feargus o Connor , esq in Manchester—Carflnter ' s Hall . —On Sunday last a public meeting waa held in the above Hall , for the purpose ef Bearing a lecture by that untiring advocate of the people ' s rights , Feargua O'Connor , Esq The placards announcing the meeting stated that tno chair would be taken at half-past six o ' clock in the evening , at which time thu spacious building was densely filled with a respectable audience , amongst which waa a goodly number of the middle classes . Mr . Roberts , a working roan , was unanimously called to tho chair . At this moment Mr . J . Linnsy , late prisoner in tha Penitentiary and Stafford gaol , fur the League outbreak o ! 1842 , entered the HuU and waa loudly cheered . Mr . Linuey looked remarkably well . At about seven

      o ' clock Mr . O Connor entered the Hall , and was received with every mark of esteem by the assembled thousands . The Chairman in a brief speech introduced Mr . O Connor , who said , h « was prou < i to see so many present . When he i &li . O'Connor ) atltV . eastid them last , there were several grave and important questions before Parliament ; the Masters nn& Servants' Bill , the Ten Hours' Bill , and the Irish Regiatration Bill . The former of these had been destroyed by the power of the people ; and be was happy to say that by the untiring exertions of the people and their , friend , Mr . Buncombe , the latter measure had ulso been strangled . For yeara they had to contend with divisions amongst themselves , and their enemies took advantage of those divisions , —but now they weie united , and their enemies

      were divided ; it was therefore their duty to take advantage of the divisions ia the enemy ' s tanks . Ttie Cabinet itself was spill ! up . The whole Tory phalanx was in a stale of disunion ; they ouulri not agree on any measure brought before them- for proof of this the people bad but to look to tbeir conduct on the Ten Hours' Bill , the Poor Laws , Out-door Relief , Sugar Duties , or the Com Laws . If , then , our disunion was their s ' . rengtb , let us take advantage of their disunion for the nation ' s benefit . This state of the factions had been brought about by tke public opinion in operation oat of the House operating on the members within . By this , we tni&ht see what could be done by nnion and co-operation . They might reviie us j but the three victories which the people had obtained

      by the destruction of the Masters and Servants' Bill , the Irish Registration Bill , and the catching of Sir James Graham in the Post-office trap , clearly showed what the powler of the people was when properly united . They might talk of Leaguism , and all other Jams : but even in their poverty , the Chartists could beat all the factions united . Mr . O'Connor then asked , where was the cry of " Tory Chartist * ' now . Look at the conduct of those who had given them tbat name . Op the question of the Sugar Duties , Sir Robert Peel waa left in a minority ; when behold be comes down to the House , and says , if you do not rescind your votes , I will resign . Hear Lhis , you poor enslaved factory operatives of Laneashiie that have to work two hours each ( lay , to keep Sir Robert Peel in power l

      Hear it , you poor starved and hungered Chartists Sir Robert Peel is in power , and kept there by the votes of Cobden and thirteen or fourteen of bis Free Trading co-partners . And then Cobden justified himself , at Covent Garden , by saying that they were " neutrals , " and took no part in politics . Then , if they were not , they would not do for the people of this country . If tbey do not intend to change the institutions of the country , we will not support them . Cobden bad said , that be bad documents to prove tbat he ( Mr . O'Connor ) was paid by the Tories , but be would not meet the public and produce them—( loud cries of hear , hear ) . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) thought tbat he might now say in return , if be received pence for putting the Tories into power , Cobden bad

      received pounds for keeping them there—( loud cheers ) . Be must now come to another puint . He had spent the best years of his manhood and his fottune with them ; and in return they had given him their confidence . He had never asfced them for it , tot he was aware that th « y would always have confidence in tbo man that acted honestly . Tb »> had watched bis conduct more than any man's in the movement They had a perfect right to do so . But there were recruits in the ranks who went up and down ' the country saying that "they bad no confidence in Feargus O'Cwanor . " " They have no confidence in Feargus O'Connor 1 " " TUEY have no confidence ! " Ought ^ they not to come to him ( Mr . O'Connor ) and ask if us bad any confidence in them ? Fot years a division had existed betwixt the working

      men of this « onntry and the working men of bis unhappy country . The people had told him to use his endeavours to destroy that difference . He bud done so , kDowing tbat a perfect union of the sons of labour of the two countries would secure the liberties of both . The Irish Kt paalers were prejudiced against the - English Chartists , because tbey bad been taught to believe that they were the enemies of their country aud Repeal . But thank God that prejudice was giving vray . He waa asked why did be not abuse Mr . O'Connell ? Ho would asfe would tbat be the wayco unite the inhabitants of the two conntries ? He ( Mr . O'Connor ) boldly asserted that the ChartisiB had urged Mr . O'Connell on in his career ; and would it be manly or honest when be bad carried the agitation aa far as Government

      prosecution—would it be manly or honest for them to abUBB him when he was unfortunate ? He , for one , would never do it He was pledged to the Charter , and bound to the English people ; but he neither could nor Wculd forget that he waa an Irishman —( loud cheers ) . He wonld never deviate from the Charter ; nor were they to think for a moment that he would forget bis own country . He bad often told them , and be now repeated it , if be could prevent it England should not have her rights one moment before Ireland —( renewed cheers , with bravo Feargus } . —If he was to abuao Mr . O'Connell now , what would pleasa the Tories better ? Was there a man there with soul so email , or with a heart cold enough to be guilty of such an act as to insult eighth millions of people by persecuting tbe man on whom tbey bad fixed tbeir affections ? What if be ( Mr . O'Connor ) bad had bis differences with

      Mr . O'Connell : ought tbat to interfere with a great and important national question ? Certainly not—( hear , bear ) . And if tie were to take advantage of his Imprisonment to abuse him what would they think of him ? They would eay , and say truly , there ia a man that thinks mote of his own personal resentment than the nation ' s welfare . But be had more honour , and be trusted honesty , than to pursue such a course . He and the men of Manchester had pledged themselves in Stephenson ' a-Ef oare , tbat if Mr . O'Connell should be incarcerated , they would use every exutlon to liberate him ; and despite all the denunciations , with the help of God , be would do bis duty to Mr . O'Connell and hiA country —( loud and continued cheering ) . Mr . O'Connor then intimated tbat he would be at Manchester again shortly , and deliver a lecture in behalf of the Carpenters' Hall Sunday School , and another for the Cnaitist Youths He would also attend when tbe Bevisl Banisters '

      Great Poblic Mbeti . vg at Manchester . —A large and enthusias'io public meeting was lioldon in the Carpenter ' s Hall , on the evening of Tuesday last , July the 9 * h , 1844 , to hoar at lecture on tho " friah State Trials , and ohe unjust imprisonment of Daaiel O'Connell , Esq ., ! and nis i ' eUovr fraversera , " by Feargua O Connor , ; Er . q . The- jneefing was a bumper . At a few minutes after eight o ' clock Mr . O'Connor entered the Hail'l , aocompiuied hy Messrs Leach , Ran kin , and Dixoa and was seeeived with repeated rounds of cheers . I When the cheering had subsided , on tho motion of Mr . Dixon , seBonded by Mr . Kaight ' , Mr . Leach wasiuuswiimously cabled to the chair , fclr . Leach openedithw mef ting with a few brief remarks on the present etata of the political

      worid , and concluded by introducing Mr . O'Connor , who on rising , was greeted with several rounds of applause , which having subsided , be said , it was common for parsons before they commenced preaching to give out their texc . He , however , had two . The first was : "The labourer is worthy of his hire "; and the other : " The state trial ? of Ireland . " Respecting the first he was sure that there was no man in England who i'had done more for the working classes than their chairman , James Leach ; and that he was worthy of their coufidence > that meeting fullj testified . If there was one thing : more than another that enabled a public man to go on in the agitation ,, it was the confidence of those iii whose behalf he laboured . It was a source of pleasure to him to see

      the respect which Mr . Leach received from his fellow townsmen , not only on that bat on all occasions . There was no better proof of a inan s honesty than to find that he had the confidence of the people iu his own town . Mr . O'Connor then went into- au analysis of the state trials , and cleartj demonstrated that lh ' . \ y bad not been conducted in accordance with the letter of English law . Respecting the Jury , he said , suppoae a Protestant had to be Wind , aud that all the Protestants were struck ot the jury list , and the twelve remaining were all Cithoiics , would the Protestant people have been satisfied with such a jury ? Certainly not . They would have made the laud resound from one end to the other with the cries of their dissatisfaction . But the Irish people

      had even more to comp ' ain of . Not only had all the Catholics been excluded from the list , but also every true bred Irishman . The dozen wore all mongrels . No true Milesian blood was allojwed to be on tho panel—( loud cheers ) . Mr . O'Connor contrasted the law of Baron Rolfe at Lancaster with that of Chief Justice Peiinyfather on the trial of tho Irish traversen , in reference to newspaper reports . In the case of the Chartists at Lancaster several articles were read from the Northern Star by the prosecuting counsel . Baron Kolie said that they could not be taken in evidence against any of the defendants , except Mr . O'Connor ; not even against the Eiitor , but against the proprietor only . On the other hand , Chief Justico Pennyfather VO 3 Q 0

      Mr . O'Connell and his companions answerable for all that was reported in j the newspapers . Again , there were fifty-nine of them tried at- Lancaster , thirty of whom were found Guilty . In the Court of Queen ' s Bench , in speaking to arrest of judgment , Lord Denmau said that the whole of the thirty had a right to be heard either by Counsel or by themselves ; but Chief Justice Penm .-father would only allow two to speak in arrest of judgment for Mr . O'Connell and his brother martyrs . Mr . O'Connor then entered into an elaborate examination of the law of conspiracy , and demonstrated that sedition it was everything that had a tendency to open the people ' s « yes to the injustice of the present system . He ( . Mr . O'Connor ) contended that there

      had been a most diaboiioal conspiracy by the Crown and Government against Mr . O'Connell and the Irish people ; and when bad men : conspired it was time for good men to combine , j Indeed this was now tho case ; for notwithstanding the strong Government talked of having pulldown the Repeal agitation , tho fact was that they _ had given An immpiige i » pQl ! I 2 £ 8— £ rl # —fBGVfiinent . PJahi John Campbell said in Ediubro'jthat he had destroyed the Chartists ; but Chartismjarose and buried Whiggery in the grave from which it never more could rise : and he trusted that thei " weakness" of i Repeal would bo the death of Tpryism . Talk of , having destroyed the Repeal Agitation ! Look atl their having subscribed no Ies 3 than £ 12 . 000 in

      twenty-one days ! Did that look anything like being destroyed ? if it was , he wished that the Chartists were placed in the same ' iveak "\ state—( cheers ) . Ho then enumerated the gross acts of injustice perpetrated on the Irish people , and of which the English people knew comparatively nothing . He resumed his seat amid thunders of ; applause , after having spoken nearly two hours , Mr . Dixon then read tho address of Mr . Sturge to the electors and non-electors of the borough of Birmingham , to the meeting , when the following , resohitibn was moved : — "That we , the inhabitants of Manchester in public meeting assembled , do hereby depute Feargus O'Connor , Esq , to convey our respects to the people of Birmingham , and to tell

      them that our desire is that they would support Mr . Sturgc in the forthcoming election for their borough ; the time having now arrived when tha honest men must bo separated from tho hypocrites , in despite of the old cry of " don ' t divide the liberal interest . ' " The resolution was carried unanimously . _ The Westminster address to Mr . O'Connell was unanimously adopted , and Mr . Duncombe elected to present the same in person on behalf of the English working classes . The thanks of the meeting were given to Mr O'Connor and the chairman , after which there was three hearty cheers for O'Connor , three for O'Connell , Repeal , and the Charter . The meeting was then dissolved , and Mr . O'Connor retired to the anti room to enrol members . ;

      Stock port—Mr . D . Donavon of Manchester , delivered a ver ^ instructive lecture in the Chartist room , on Sunday last , upon the necessity-of the workiug classes taking advantage of tbe late ; decision of the Court of Common Pieas , to secure for sucb as are qualified a just share in the representation of the country . He also explained the nature and power ot local government , and concluded by exhorting all who were desirous of promoting Chartism , to exert themselves in placing tbeir friends in all offices to which tbey have access , local and national . A vote of thanks was passed to tbe lecturer , and tbe meeting separated .

The revelations of the miamoua practices pursued m the Post-office , revelations made through cue instrumentality of Mr . T . 8 .
