      5 "hB announcement that we are about to mike to ihe readeiB aod friends of the Northern Star will be matter of surprise to many : by others it Kill be expected , as the matter has been subject of rumour of aU sorts for some time ; bat more pjjticul&riy daring the last fortnight . It has been arranged between Vhe Proprietor and fdnor v > remore this Journal from Leeds to London for publication . This resolve has sot been come to without doe deliberation , and a ¦ weighing of &II the reasons both for , and against , each a coarse . Bus the result of that deliberation

      is , a ihorongh conviction on the minds of both , that the Northern Star in London can be made Biore efficient for its purpose , —as a journal and organ of Democratic Movements , —than they could ever hope to make it % way from the great centre of government and information . Fox now nearly twelve month 3 has the subject been matter of disfassioii and deliberation . The counsel and opinion of those most ' . likely to be consulted on such a jn * tter have been sought : and the advice from all is : " By all means take the step : London-is jmic the place for the Star . Ii ean he made more powerful for good tbere s than in the very besi locality in the country . "

      The Nt / rihcrn Star 13 not a local paper . It cannot possibly be made such . It is the organ , and almost the sole organ , of the greatest , indeed of the only Natioxai . Pabtt of the day . It i 3 therefore necessarily compelled to become general in its news ; general in its tone ; general in it 3 arr&n ^ menis ; and altogether general ly its character . To have attempted to confine its news , and address its articles , to the little sphere of Yorkshire , where it has been located , wonld fcsve been as wise as to hare attempted the making of glorious Punch into the mouthpiece

      Oi > ly of tiie swaddliag philosophers of Little Peddlington- And yet to make it what it ought to be , as a general newspaper in such a location , yrss impossible , In the first place , all the news from all quarters of the globe makes it 3 way . to London , where it is rapidly made known by jneaBS of the most Efficient diurnal Press that the world know 3 of . From London it has to come to Leeds ; and * ben from Leeds , -when printed in the Stsr , has to go back to London again , and to ail other parts of the realm that the Star

      can penetrate . We have ihu 3 been continually placed at a twenty-four-hours disadvantage : » . e onr London weekly contemporaries who pnblished on the ssme day as ourselves , coula "have in Scotland , in Lancashire , in most parts of Yorkshire , and in the South of England , news twenty-ionr hours later than we could possibly give it . Thi 3 has always been felt fey m to be » disad-Txntage ; and though we have laboured and striven to render that disadvantage as " nugatory as possible , still it teas there , and w > havs had to experience , often and sorely , its injurious effects .

      London too , is the seat of Government . It is also the seat of Legislation . There the clujs and the Coiebijs * re , where the designs and measures of Government ooza on " , and are canvassed . Thermit is where * ' State Secre . 3 " are to be learned . There it is where the conductors of the Press can ome in contact with the legislators themselves . There it is where a politician can inform his mind of the moves and schemes of political parties : and therefore these it is , where the organ of the great Democratic party of England should be located , that its conductors may have every opportunity

      ofputting its readers in possession of great ** State reasons" aad all accurate political information , B netrfrsm the mint , ' London is also the residence of Mr . F . O'Co > t » ob By far the greater part of hi 3 time 13 spent in the ** TrK 5 . " There is bis home . Oftentimes ha 3 it happened that bis counsel has been needed on matters of critical emergency . His absence fromthe . offiee , andthe impossibility of reaching him IB time for publication , has at times led to serious mischief . Bound up as he is with the Labour Movement : efficient as he is , in private counsel as

      in public debate , it has often fallen out , that eourses of action on matters of import have been advised and recommended , which would not have been so advised and recommendedj could the condnetois of the Star have had the Benefit of Ms judgment and knowledge . The removal to London Trill , in a great measure , remedy this eviL Opportunity will almost constantly be given for consultation and mntnal advice ^ and a cours e of action will be ihu 3 laid down , after dua deliberation and a thorongh knowledge of the reasons thit point out such course as the best .

      On all these points , therefore , will the Star be Tendered more tSiinent , and consequently more vainable to the great Moveraeat of which it is the argan , by the change now announced . It can put cU its readers in possession of much later news : n tolx do so . It will try not to be out-beat in this particular by any of its cotemporary weekly Journals . It can make its readers aware , more folly and more certaiiily , of the different moves on the political chess-board , because it will be where ihe -play can ba more closely and narrowly watched : it will DO so : for no effort will be

      spared io make the Star , in its new sphere , one of the "first m&ffEitnde , politically speaking , as it has tver been in the sphere frora which it now meditates a " bolt . " Its conductors can strengthen their own judgment by taking counsel of its proprietor , and also of other well-known and itflnenti » i frieBds to the cause of Labour , on all questions involving important conEequence 3 : thet "siii bo so : for their desire , as conductors of snch a Journal , can only , or ought oaly \ o be , to RDder it efficient for the many , and to take , or adrise the taking , of bo step , which eonld by possibility injure lie sacred cause committed to their sdvoeaey and guardianship .

      Ii "sill be seven years , come next aonth , since the Northern Star was called into being . How times have changed since then ! How different the aspect of political parties 1 The " Me ? or the Pbogbess , " from being a disjointed , disunited , disorganized mass , with a thousand different tones of feeling , tod ten thousand different dbjeeis of pursuit , have became acquainted with each other ; become organiied ; haveinfused throughout the wholeonefeeling one desire , one end , one aim 1 The question of the Sitftbage , —that lever for man ' s redemption , — frwn heing the sceffed-at , sneered-at , despised and persecuted H doctrine" of the day , has become the B 3 STOBT e ? the intE 1 bettered in , avowed ,

      advo-CltCfl by mea of nearly all parties : and is just on the eve of bevng incorporated into practice , as the * e ± * s of realiz i ng the aspirations of the hopeful * &d the desires of the good for the bane-fit of universal msn ] Whi ^ gery , from btiDg in ihe ascendant , —cold , calculating , frigid , -Malihn-Sac , tyrannous , treacherous , base , bloody , ind brutal , —has become understood and appreciated ^ kicked out ; igcominiously driven down ; dead and bnried ; and its last relations so di ? £ usted wish its bare memory , that they have forsworn even "ftna&y" itself , and proclaimed themselves the heralds of that progress which is

      io usher in anew era , when the labouring man is io have his share of the benefits of science and increased production . Tostish , from being the stand-stni , insolent , "vindictive , creel , and merciissa perseentor of all who asked for change , has become first transmuted into Conservatism with its readiness to " reform all proved abuses , " as a means of stemmiDg the " spirit of the age f and is now manifesting itself in the phase of Yor > G Ijglasd , with its candid admission of former error of coxdcci and pbixciple , and its bold eanuEciation of the great truth that " ihe peasant icio has 1 stake 22 f tttp EHH 3 .

      party ; the scourge [ and exposer of another ; the teacher of principles , and expounder of doctrines to the third : and is it sot fairly entitled to say , now that the whole tone and feeling of ! pelitical Bociety is changed ; now that the old and worthless political distinctions and divisions have passed away ; now that new objects and new desires animate the hopes and direot j the actions of politicians : we ask whether the I Star ^ when it iB remembered what part it has I taken ; what an organ of the producing millions I it has become ; what lessons it has constantly ¦ taught ; how constant it has been , in season and

      • out of season , to show that " party was the mad-: ; ness of = tbe many for ihe gain of the few , " and to i prove that the causes and principles at work , which j had operated the misery and degradation of the I producer would also reach the wealthy and : powerful , —stripping the former , and rendering I weak and powerless the latter : we aek . proudly i and fearlessly , when all these things are borne ¦ in mind , and when the great and mighty revolu' tion in sentiment and action above set forth is j remembered , whether the Northern Star is not j fairly entitled to say , " this has jeek , in pasi ! irr wobk . "

      ' Ii has been . ' The Star has done its part ! It has been useful in its day and generation ! It desires i to be more bo than it ever yet has been : and [ therefore it has been determined to remove it to [ a sphere where its facilities will be greater , and ! its power and influence extended . It 3 present conductors go with it . Those who have 1 had full charge of its contents for the last j eighteen months will continue to have charge of i them still . Mr . Hobson gives up his business in

      1 Leeds to confine his exertions exclusively to make the Star what he earnestly wishes it to bea Journal of pure Democracy , and an expounder of true political and social principles . In this he I will be aided , as hitherto , by his able , ifficient , I and untiring friend and co-adjutor , Mr . Haksey . 1 More time and attention will be' bestowed on the paper than has hitherto , from other time-engrossing circumstances , been the case : and it is hoped that the benefit arising to the reader will soon be manifest .

      The exact time of the change is not definitely fixed . It is likely to be in the middle of November . The arrangements are so far concluded as to make it certain that the change will be mads ; though they are still so imperfect as to render us unable to eay exactly when . Onr purpose was , not to have made the announcement until all arrangements had been complete ; but lying-tongued rumour has been , and is likely to be , 50 busy , that we deem it prudent to pat the matter beyond doubt , and prevent alarm in the mind 3 of our friends from the thonsand-and-one incorrect stories that will be promulgated .

      The Northern Star , when the change is made , will be printed with a new and beautiful type , procured for the purpose . The type is ordered : ' and it is the uncertainty when that order can be executed , that lenders us unable to fix on the exact time for the removal . Its appearance in its new Tows dress will be such as to make it equal to the best that issues from the press . An office for publishing purposes is already secured , in the leading thoroughfare—the Sntuo ) . The Star will take its stand in the very best locale for newspapers . It will be dose neighbour to the

      Morning Herald , the Morning Post , the Morning and Weekly Chrenicles , tbe Globe , the Sun , the Era * the Spectator , the Examiner ; and indeed most of the London Press . It will be constantly before the public , —under the nose of every passer-by . It will not be out of -the way : but ihebb , before them ; Btre tlitin in the face ; make them know that there is such a Journal ; call to mind that there is a party which the Journal represents ; and thus . familiarise the London public to thai which many of them now only know of as " tag-rag and bobtail . " We shall make other announcements in relation to this matter , as the arrangements are concluded .

M Oe&th , president of tee Charter AasociatioD of Great Britain , ia to be azsong&t us on Monday -the 21 st insU Of Sir . M'Grath it is almost unnecessary to speak . The eievated position in -which bia countrymen have placed him , tell ns that he iB one ol those noble spirits of -whom our country has much need—one of the aristscracy of talent vbo , imbued with a seme ef the ¦ wrongs of his country , has directed that talent to the elevation cf his "wronged and degraded countrymen .

      Conntryiaen , it is with conscious pride thut we look back to the siruggles of our forefathers in the cause ef freedom—what they dared and died fer . Their country should arouse a spbit of emulation and energy in us to finish the glorious work they began—the redemption o * onr country from the tands of its insatiate oppressors . -Our country ha 3 always been in the ran in the march of freedom ; shall we then lag behind the willing serfs of an oligarchy , whose legislation is fraught with ruin to an intelligent and iudnstrions people ? Shall we stand tamely by , while day after day they are itcrearing onr burdens , and Mndisg them firiter on ub with the letters of tbeii tywimicai misrule ? "Wfeo and what are they that vre shall thus snbmit , srithoot gnesiioEiDg their light to the powers they assume ? There are a thousand incentives to urge us on

      to this enquiry . There is onr degraded eonnfcry falling a prey to its avariciotts taskmasters . There are those rights ¦ which alone constitute us men , wrongfully and forcibly wrenched from us . We are degraded , and ourdegredation is the basis of their elevation . We are impsverished , while they are enriched at the expenoe of onr poverty . We most fee saddled that tfc « y may ride ; and , alas , by our own consent we allow them te prolong its perpetration . Tme thiT 3 is a solitary -voice here xnd there raised in defence of the rights of man- There are patriot heaU who inm wilh indignation at the monster encroachment that oppression is making on ns— its -victims . . But these voice * ard these heart * are unable to cope singly with your destroyers .

      They must have your aid , or yon mnst remain as yon are , and submit to encroachment after encroachment , until yon are totally immolated on the oltar of class legislation . Arouse yon then .

The fearless advocate of your rights , M'Grath , will be followed at due intervals by others of the same honourable distinction , men of talent and principle—Dr .

      working class of Leeds , remembering that Lonia Philippe obtained his throne by fraudulent and hypocritical means , and has maintained himself in power solely by fraud and force , violating his pledges and trampling on the rights of a brave , but deceived End betrayed people , —refuses its assent to the declarations of the corrupt press of this Country , and bids no welcome t » the traitor King of tbe BaTricaC » 3 : on the contrary , this meeting warmly sympathising with tbe oppressed people of France , expresses its earnest hope Jhit the principle of eqnal rights , and equal texts consecrated by two revolntiens , m » j be speedily triumphant in that country , sod the sovereignty of tbe peepie supersede the rale of a treacherous and military despotism .

      NEWCASTLE . ( From our own Correspondent . ) On Wednesday night Mr . Feargus O'Connor delivered an address in the large Lecture Room , Nel-8 on- * treet . The Bubjeot was Chartism v . Republicanism" ; and never was there a more orderly or attentive audience assembled within the walls of a public building . Mr . O'Connor spoke on the subject for two hours and a quarter , comparing the respective Value of the two forma of Government ; and a * ft would be wholly impossible to give anything like a sketch of Ill ' s speech , I shall merely notice a few of his leading points . Aa to Republicanism , he said , it had been frequently used as a mere talisman to rouse the mind to action for a change , leaving to the successful party the task of saying

      what that change should be . Republicanism was a standard without any motto deSuing the principles ; and hence we find , as in Franca after the revolution , a perfeot despotism raised upon the ashes of the old ruin . Monarchy is derived from two Greek words , signifying one head ; and a Republic diifcrs in no one respect from an elective Monarchy , that is if you have one President , discharging the duties of the Executive . Now , said he , what I want to bo informed upon is this—where will Chartism fail to accomplish the desired object , aud how will Republicanism step in and aid it in its further progress 1 for that is tho whole question . In Chartism I can see all thos © ingredients conducive to' good government and general

      happiness . ; In Republicanism , and I take it on its largest and most comprehensive base as we find it in America , 1 find imperfect political ma * chincry leading to social disarrangement . For instance ; for a whole year before the election of a President , the republic , that is the " things of the public , " is thrown into confusion for the gratification of personal ambition . The year after , there exists a bitterness of Jefeat ; so that if you have any quiet , it ia but for two out of the four years . Now , here is an error , and precisely of a similar character as that which my London constituents fell into , when they rt quested me to vote for the election of our Executive body by the whole Association . I saw , firstly , that such a course would lead to interminable

      jealousies , to be repeated annually—that it would split us up into contending sections ; and , secondly , if your systjem of representation is perfect , you ought not to doubt the wisdom of your representation in tho election of the President or Executive . This destroys contention . Then I object , aa being a bad principle , to the election of an Executive for a longer period than that for which you elect your representation , If annual parliaments are requisite as a means of representing all the freshness of opinion , the same rule would hold good as to a President . For observe , in this marching age , you mght have a ; President elected for four years , lagging three yeare behind the moving active representative body . Then I am for a more extensive Executive .

      1 am for the m : > gio number of four , whoii not lesB than three can constitute a majority . From four you can get a larger majority than from any other number ; and they should be either elected annually , by those in whom you showed > our confidence by sending to represent you ; or a portion should be elected at the close of each session : and depend upon it that business men , who must come back to you at the close of the session , will be more scrupulous and better judges upon the point than a whole people could possibly be . Chartism leaves this question open . Cflarti .-m has not only a name , but defined principles ; and whether Chartism led to an elective Monarchy , which is one head , or an hereditary Monarchy , which is

      the right of chiefsbip by descent , the Republic would be nothing damaged , so long as a power was vested in tbe whole people to displace tbe wrong-doer that is , if elective , if the appointment was vested in the representative body , instead of in the whole people . Republicanism has been tried in America , and the working classes arc only now brginniDg to discover the errors that have crept into the system ; they are ending where we intend to begin—by occupation , not plunder , of the land , as our enemies gay . Republicanism ; ma ; degenerate into licentiousness . Chartism , as accepted and understood by the whole people of England , never ould . Chartism would real'za the maxim of law that " the King can do no wrong . " Republicanism ,

      with a President elected for four years , cannot realize that maxim , or t&thet isaay not realize it . Republicanism has been used as a plug to stop any holo that change may make , but has seldom been successfully applied . Chartism is nothing more than a principle of Government , ready to be applied tbe moment that circumstances of any nature may dissolve the present foTm of Government . It is a principle defined and understood , and means welldigested Republicanism institutions , under whatever head , or form , all may decide upon . And now just a word as to the danger , folly , and wickedness of distracting the public mind with two names and two principles , however slightly they may differ in character . Firstly , a combination of

      all your enemies is indispensable to the support of the principle of centralization , and consequently all the antagonist elements of individualism , should be as well united as a means of popular defence . Well , two principles and two names Imust lead to a certain amount of disunion . Secondly , when we had dragged Radicalism through tho ordeal of persecution , and made the very principles of Chartism —which aro the same—respectable under that name , we very foolishly changed the name and weakened the party . Now we are known in Ireland and throughout the world as Chartists . Chartism is the English principle : and just suppose'such & thing being communicated to Irishmen , as that we had taken a new name , which must imply new principles , would not for

      Irish agitators ha ^ e good grounds making the Irish people laugh at gullable , changeable , John Bull 1 The moment we adopted the Republican principle , we should get the name of Republicans , and then another ten years of reckless prosecutions and persecutions would follow ; the THEN moral force Chaiiists being our most bitter enemies , merely to justify their own notions of Chartism . I have . deemed it necessary to throw this subject before you just now , because I understand that an atttempt will be made from without to turn the flank of Chartism , by presenting a new , and , to some who cannot think or reason correctly , a more facsinatieg because Ices defined and understood , principle to the people . I know your lov « of novelty ; but I also know your love of principle . Chartism is a principle , and has a definition ; and therefore my sentiment b Chartism , that it may lead to just

      laws , and end in a community of happy ikdividuals . Mr . O'Connor then concluded thus I will never change my name , because men would then suppose I had changed my principles . I will never change my principles , because men would then give me a new name .

      . GREAT MEETING OP THE CmPENTEKS OF MAX . CHESTER AND SALFOJlD . —For some days past , considerable excitement bas existed in tbe ranks of the above trades , owing to the most unjustifiable conduct of Messrs . Pauling and Co . It has been the custom of the Carpenters and Joiners to commence lighting up on the 17 th of November , and continuing to light until Candlemas-Day , This custom is as ancient as tbe trade itself . This the men consider a privilege , inasmuch as it allows them a little more time for relaxation , for a few weeks in tke year . This , however , tha Messrs . Pauling are determined shall be the case no longer ; for when the time came that the men could Dot see till six o'clock , the gas was lighted and they were told tbat they must work from six to six . On

      this a general meeting of tho trade was summoned to be held in the Carpenter' Hall , on Saturday evening ; list The meeting was called for eight o'clock , and about that hoar tha body of the spacious bail was fiilei by the joiners ef Manchester and Salfard . Mr . Levena , was unanimous ; y called to the chair . He opened tha business by reading the placard calling the mePting ; after which he said the privileges now attacked had been enjoyed by their forefathers , and If they were men they would hand tha same dawn to their own children . He thought that the labouriog classes had little left but slavery . Wby , were their privileges invaded ? To enrich a railway contractor ; t » enable him to exercise an undue '' nfluence in the market of competition . How were the other employers

      to meet him , unless they followed tbe same unhallowed system of tyranny and oppression which he practised towards his work ' men ? Mr . Bellkaus * in a thriiling speech moved tbe first resolution , " That this meeting do strongly , and emphatically condemn the conduct of the carpenters and joiners in the employ of MessiF Pauling , and Co . in yielding to a r > quwst at once so palpably unjust , and violating the priiicsplsa of honour which ought to exist aa a moral tie bstvPdsn their fellow-workmen and tte re » p > clable builders of Manchester . Salford , and surroun ^ iDg districts . " Mr . Thomas Fleetwood seconded tho resolution . . * young maa in tbe body of the ball 10 . se and seidT that be was in the employ of Messrs . Pauling and Go * , and notwithstanding he was not in the habit of

      speaking in public , yet be considered it to be hie duty to give , his fellow-workmen present a short account of tbe doings of that firm . After tho appearance of the placards calling the meeting tbe masters summoned a meeting of the men , — - when . M& Guorge Pasting asked what they were dissatisfied with , as the town was placarded 1 Some of the men said that It was not them that bad pat oat the placards ^ bat tbe trade ' s society . He said tbat he did not care a d— -n for the trades" society . Bat he bad % proposition to make to them , and tbat was , that they sbenld work from six to six , and he would let them make a quarter over , after six o ' clock . Another proposition they had offered , was that they should work from six to six , daring the six weeks

      tbat the trade did not light up , and en Saturdays , from six till one o ' clock , When they ahould have tbo other half day . This was a precious dodge , for , by working to one o ' clock on Saturday , when the dinne * hour v » a » taken off , there womid only be three hours for the half day : thus they would be getting six houra * labour each week out of the men for nothing . And from the 17 th of November till Candlemas day , when tbe trade lighted up , they were to work from six o ' clock in the morning till half-past fix in tbe evening , thereby taking from tbe workmen ba f aa hour eacti day more than other masters . The speaker added that on tbat day the foreman hid brought op a sort of a bond for them to put their signatures to , purporting tbat tfcey agreed to tbe propositions of Messrs .

      Pauling and Co . The Chairman then put the resoJufoa , which was agreed to unanimously . Mr . Ssott moved tbe following resolution : "That this meeting baing called to take Into consideration the system of lighting six . weeks before the usual time , considers such a change to be out of all order with the old established rule of tae trade . We therefore pledge ourselves to support by a general levy of society and non-society men all those tbat are bold enough to stand aloof from such an imposition . " He laid if Messrs . Pauling and Co . were enabled to succeed in this attempt , the other masters , in justice to themselves , would be compelled to foiiow their example , which would be a eerious injury to the trade generally . He hoped , tbereftra , tbat every man in the trade would do his duty towards

      crushing this attempt against their rights and liberties ; Mr . Thos . Rsilton said that he most ; cordially seconded tha resolution . For take what view of the question tbey would , it resolved itself into a serious reduction of wages at last . He bad made a vsry moderate calculation of what would be the result if Messrs . Pauling was allowed to introduce this new system ; at the very lowest computation each man iu their employ would have to work nine days and a quarter for nothing which , taking the number of tbeir men into account , in the winter months put no less a sum into their pockets than . £ 400 16 s 8 d . How , then , was it possible for the honourable employer to compete with a fellow who was robbing his workmen of such a sum in a few months . If the masters could not compete with them , what would be tbe result ? They would be compelled to adopt tbe same system , Tvbieh would rob the men of Manchester and district of £ 4009 at the least , by

      making them do bo much inure work for the sime amount of money . In fact this attempt was most abominable : it would take a man , to work and never lose a day for fifty-nice years and fifteen weeks , to make up tbe loss fer this district . The chairman put tbe resolution , which was agreed to . Mr . J . R . Richardson moved , and Mr . W hi taker seconded— " Tbat this meeting hereby declares that if any of the men in Mesrs Pauling St Go . 's employ , do not come out in accordance with the wishes of this meeting , they shall be considered as men not deserving -the countenance of the trade in Manchester . " It was then agreed that tbe men should give a quarter ' s notice on Monday , aud then leave work unless they asreed to let thtir men woi-k the regular trade houre . A committee of twelve was then chosen to conduct the atrik « , should it take place . Tbe thanks of the meeting was given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      Monday . —According to tbe decision of the meeting on Saturday nigbt , the men gave the quarter ' s notice oa Monday , when they were to d they might go then , which they did . Another spirited meeting took place in the evening when we understand that the whole of the building trades of the town resolved to Bupporttbem in their struggle . It is therefore hoped thrt carpenters and joiners at a distance will be on their guard and not ba made the instruments of tyranny to crush their brethren .

He would vote lor an immediate abrogation of the day police . Ho would vote for the opening of the Watch Committee , aud all other committees , aud preserve to the people the right ot meeting in tbe publio market place . Mr . Temped not being present , Mr . CroEslaiid undertook ! to answer for him , but

      hia replies to several questions put to him were anything but satisfactory . ) The Cnairman then put the several candidates to the meeting . Mr . Tempest having very few bands held up in his tavour , Mr . Ellis and Mr . Brook wore carried by an almost uuauiinous vote . At ibis stage of toe proceed it ^ , Mr . Wm . Ellis begged to deeune serving . He couJtl not assign any just rea&ou torj&ucb . strange behaviour ; to uso his own expression , he would give them " a woman ' s , reutofl—he would uot Bt > rve them , because he " would not . " Mr . Hepper , who tad proposed Mr . William Eiiis , begged to withdraw his name , and to substitute that of Mr . Jonathan Shackleton in hip stead . Mr . Sbackleton proposed Mr . Joseph Homer , ot Beeston ; but as the fcveniug waa far advanced n was deemed prudent to aujuuru the meeting , and suspend the election of another candidate until Wednesday . On

      Wednesday the Burgesses again assembJtd . Mr , Hobsoa opened the business . Mr . ; SbackletO"j and Mr . Horner were announced as being belore the meeting ; but it having been ascertained tbat Mr . Homer was wider a pledge to ihe ! Burgesfces of the North Ward , many ot his friends were notdi&posed to press for his election in Hoibeck . Mr . Shackleton was interrogated at some length . His answers were satiBlaciory , as the event proved , lor he was eleoted almost without a dis&eutieni—three hands only being held up against him . I A vote of thanks Was given to the chairman , for his honourable and impartial conduct in the chair , aud the meeting separated , after a committee had beeii duly elected to conduct the election . Hoibeck will therefore have tho honour of returning Mr .
