i ifV * Ke 4 R Fai 8 so 3 , —IaUaUuow proceed to lay before you the further results of my recent tour , which I concluded at Macdesfield on Monday last—a tour which has been the means of reviving-Uliartisui tftrongaout Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Cheshire .
ratsios . - . On Wednesday night 1 addressed the good men of Preston in Lord Derby ' s cock-pit—the managers of the theatre and oilier public buildings refus " ui » to admit me mto their sanctuaries for any sum of money , . iiiu fact of itself proves that I am a "terror" to their legions , and that I have arrived at the dignity rt- ^ i ^ L- ' ^ muster ed so strong in Proton , that hundreds t » nld not gain admittance , but were obliged to go away disappointed . Marsden and the ? w . ! P * spirit alive through the three years' cairn . As I was the puiaeipai speaker at | ieaeveralmeetings and as the subject * one that I shall hereafter iU ,, trate for you and explain to you through the medium of the Star , so thatererv
workingmauin the kingdom shall understand it ' 1 prefer giving you a detailof our positioa in the several-towns to reiterating my own words . _ The meeting at Preston was a splendid exhibition oi the intellectual improvement of the working classes : and if many points of my address were enthusiastically cheered , not a word of it was lost ; not a word of it failed to produce its effect . 'Itwportions of the system and its consequences which I selected for animadversion throughout my tour were , class legislation ; power of machinery ; influence of capital ; casualties , calamities , and uncertainties , imposed upon the working classes , the only parties who were not instrumental in producing them ; competitive reserve in the labour market ; wuat constituted
a virtuous , and what a vicious competition ; the sectionismg of society the inevitable result of the centralisation of Government ; the necessity of individualising society , so that each man may know fits own valtu , and society appreciate him at that value ; the land as the only possible means for placing him in tflatsituation ; the effect of the law of primogeniture , of settlement , and of entail , and my entire accordance wita every principle of the free traders , provided that the contracting jparties were placed upon a per fect equality . For instance ; I admitted the prudence and justice of throwing the working classes opon'their own resources , " while I contended for the justice of taking the idlert off those resource I admitted the right of the capitalist to purhase labour the
c in ¦ cheapest market , and to sell its produce in the dearest market ; but I contended that a system-made idler , who was hired in the loathsome cellar ; in the gin-palace ; in tht itouse of call , where poverty congregates ; m Uii market-place , where slaves are sold ; in the Mansfceld bastile , where degraded pauperism is compelieu to gnnd the air as a badge of inferiority ; in the Ancover bastUe , where the unwilling idler may be contending with a competitor for the catrioa that has escaped the notice of the squire's well-fed foxhounds or miyhap ( horribleto tell ]) picking the marrow out ofhufathcr \ or mother ' s , or broker ' s bonea !; 1 contended that the capitalist , with an abundance ot money , and the power of selection from S UCU a
sur-Pms , and the labourer so tituated , are not upon such terms of equautt as to make the contract between ifcem a fair and unbiassed contract I also showed the difference to individuals and the nation between alease for ever , and » lease terminable upon tlie caprice of a landlord . I have made the whole of the working classes who heard me , and they were not few , believe that the labourer who worked for himself upon land that he held for ever was a more free agent to contract for the sale of that labour to another , than the pauperised unwilling idler , situated as 1 have described him . I have tamht them the
cuitereMce between slave labour and free labour ; and the result of my teaching has more than repaid me for the labour and expense . I unhesitatingly declare that there is now in England a working class mind which precludes the possibility of tho minority much longer holding the majority in subjection . The thae years' calm that has gone by has not been without its profit . Kobe and bluster have given way to deep thought . There are two associations in Preston , evidently struggling for the same object ; but they must know and feel that , as one , they would be much / stronger They promised me that they would unite . I was highly delighted with the Preston meeting .
BDKSLEr . On Thursday I proceeded to Burnley , and was met at Blackburn with a coach and four very handsome grey horses , an expense which I would rather had been spared . However , I do not the less appreciate the compliment of my warm-hearted friends . Mr Sutclifie and Mr . Shutt came to Blackburn for me On oar passage » e were cheered by groups of slaves and when v ? e arrived at Padiham , the concourse wa ? so large that I was compelled to address them ar some length . From thence to Blackburn , thret miles , we were cheered all along the road by groups ofslaves who had been released from the hard day V toil . Shortly after my arrival a very splendid bane played some Chartist airs , and in less than a quartet
of an hour a great p / rt of the populatisn of Buralej and surrounding districts was assembled in front ot ay hotcL Headed by the band , we proceeded to thi Temperance Hotel , which had been filled for somtune before ; our old friend , John Place , was called to the chair . Mr . Beesley was first introduced , am . spoke briefly upon the value of union , and of the land , as a means of acquiring social happiness and political freedom . I followed , and spoke at consider able length : in fact , until , as in every other place , every stitch on my back , and even my boots , were a -wet as if they had been soaked In a river . They tell methatmyspeeeh gave universal satisfaction ; anfl the result may be seen in ' £ 10 acknowledged tnu week for the Land , and £ 3 for the Executive . Ai the conclusion of my speech Jama Holgate , of Colnr
put some questions tome upon presenting me with the amount paid for twenty shares from that town , and which I answered to his satisfaction and to tin satisfaction of the meeting . I was sorry here to see poor Tattersall , who was urged on by the enthusiastic promises of his order in 1842 , suffering undei a severe abscess in the back ; the consequence of th . Irutal treatment and bad diet he received during bitwo years' incarceration . lie is not the same Tattersali that he was ; but he is a much better man . II « lias suffered more than any other martvr , but he complains lea ; and if not as healthy , is as hearty and vigorous in the cause as ever he was . As I had not met with a more deserving person , I presented Km vrithmy " share , " andpromised to make a farmer of Mm .
On uie following morning I met some sixteen or twenty working men at their dinner hour at the Temperance Coffee House , and we si » ent a very prontable hour together . I then visited the family of thatpnnceof Chartists , Mr . Joseph Sutclifie , grocer ; and after a short time departed for Todmorden , wherelspent four cheering hours with my eld friends ; a portion of our time being devoted to climbing up mountain ladders to visit some allotments which -Lnoeh Uorsfall , with his long legs , assured me were only a mile and a half from Todmorden , but if we lad stopped at the end of two miles , we should never have got there . However , poor Enoch had walked irom Burnley , ten mile 3 , and I had no right to complain . Fr om Todmorden I went to
E 0 CHDA 1 E . Here we had another of those splendid and attentive meetings which characterise the rapid march of intellect . Rochdale lias distinguished itself by the return of an Irish Chartist , who was too noble and too proudin spirit to bow to the O'Connell despotism . Hochdale has bcea the first amoa s , t the foremost to resist the introduction of the horse-flesh and human marrow-eating Poor-Law ; and llochdale resolved to out-subscribe our good friends of Leeds by contributing one penny more for the Executive . The meeting was everything that I could wish ; and after the proceedings , about forty honest working men , many of whom came from distant parts , gave me the pleasure
ot then * company at my hotel till between twelve and one o ' clock . The veteran , Robert Brook , of Todmorden , who wouldnot plead " guilty" at Lancaster , was there ; and James Mooney , of Cotoe , another good soldier in the good fight , was there ; and we had a very delightful , cheerful , and instructive night together . 4 I ^ lra « ry great knowledge from thesemeetings At them I learn the characters « f the leaders in tne movement ; and I am happy to sav , new that we liavegotndof " thegentlemen that were too proud to work , and too poor to live without labour , " there never was a more effective staff , both nationally and locally , than at present .
On Saturday 1 proceeded !* . MANCHESTER , to commemorate the bloody slaughter on that day twenty-six years , at Peterloo . Being Saturday night , ana it not being generally known that the meeting *»» to takepkee in the Hall of Science , it wasnot as numerou s as upon former occasions : but yet it was a iarge , an attentive , and enthusiastic meeting .

But I have better data-I take it from -he hireling of the Matichester Guardian . lie gave is 2000 ; and I always look upon those fellows in the aght of a parson , who value their own share ( the . ithe ) , and no more . So multiply his 2000 by ten . md you have the exact number at which I have estimated the meetiug . This arithmetician said he counted them fifty one way , and forty another . 1 counted them one way , and they made 178 , and I could not count them the other way , because the ground was rather uneven . My Friends , —The circumstances which
distinguished this grand demonstration from similar demonstrations , in 1833 and 1839 , are these : firstly , it was got up with very little notice , and in a very short space of time : secondly , we were unaided by tue mwdlc classes , who in the previous years swelled our numbers that they might get the control of our movement ; thirdly , thousands thought it impossible to revive Chartism ; fourthly , the pillaging parson would not allow us to hold the meeting so near tin-Church as was originally intended , and drove ua like the covenanters of old through rugged passes toakind of mountainous retreat , which , to have satisfaction of the parson . I now christen
, „„ MOUNT CHARTER ; and fifthly and lastly , it was the first fine day that the working classes hare had frr a lone period , and it was natural to expect that they would look for some other amusement after a hard week ' s toil h- if ? nf in * r ? , duce 4 ^ the meeting , not a man Hinched , although the ram fell in torrents and came suddenly upon us . One circumstance was more cheering to me and my friends than all the others put together . Formerly it was alraoat impossible to coinmand attention at out-door meetings . Stragglers lay upon our flanks , shouting and playing , while wiwere generally skirted by a set of mischievous Tory shop-boys , or Whig free-traders . At Middleton not * T « s heard but the voice of labour ' s advocate and the bursting cheer of labourers demanding theiv rights . Daniel Donovan , of Manchester , was uanimonsly called to the chair , and , inspired by the scene lelere him , he opened the business in a short but
• loquOTt congratulatory speech upon such a glorious occasion . He asked all who were interested in the -ood cause to act as policemen , and preserve order ; tnd after some further trite and timely observations , introduced William Dixon , of Mancliester , to move ' . fienrst resolution . Dixon made a splendid speech , vhich you will see reported elsewhere . It was the ¦ nly speech which can be reported at length . Bell , t ileywood . seconded the resolution , in a warm apteal to his hearers to follow up . the glorious resuiTectoni by a noble resolution to ' see the prihniples aeeom mi i ^^ "" ° 9 nttcrm s , and atconsideribte length ; and only gave way in consequence of heramcomingsuddenly upon us . M'Grath , Clark . Leech , and Doyle , also addressed the meeting in mppy strains of rejoicing . Leech , from his knowedge of agriculture and familar cottage phraseolo"v . iroduced a great svnsation when he described the superior pleasures of a husbandman ' s life over those if an operative slave .
Ton will see that at the close of the meeting we collected £ 3 7 s . for the Executive . I here give the hree resolutions which were carried unanimously imut thunders of applause : and thug ended the most < ober , the most thoughtful , the most attentive , and the most glorious , although not the most numerous , nrt-door demonstraton ever held in England . Please God , before the summer is over , we will have maBy -iuch in Lancashire and Yorkshire . 1 st . —That we , the working classes of Lancashire , after * ealm of three years , hare assembled on this 17 th day o » August , at Middleton , to raise the standard of liberty , thi Copies Chabteb . oncemore ; and we pledge ourselves acn to the other , and all to the country / never to abandon the struggle for the attainment of that measure unta we see its final accomplishment . We further pled
ge ourselves , and invite all friends of freedom to do likewise not to join any party , whether they he aristocrats , middle class men , or labourers , in any agitation which hasforits object any less measure of reform than that contained in the People ' s Charter . And in order to inspire our brethren with courage and hope , we btfg to express our entire and unqualified confidence in our present Executive , and our resolution to support them , in spite of the revilings of fools and knaves . We further pledge ourselves not to recognise any perambulating lecturer , who has not received his appointment as such under thebandof our Executive : and we would recommend the Chartist body through the ¦ rapire to adopt this our firm resolution ; and . to the end that it may be carried out , we would remind all of the indispensable necessity of placing as many Chartist voters as are eligible on the list of voters

I spoke at considerable length upon some new topics connected with the Land and the Charter . The meetin ? appeared satisfied , as we enrolled thirty-nine members , and six have since enrolled , making fortyfive m one night . I received £ 24 18 s . 3 d . for the Land society . On Monday I proceeded to
MACCIESFIELD where we had a bumper : such a bumper as I hope never to see again in such a place . It was in the boeialUall _ a place not more than nine feet high , and without & single window that could be opened ! i he entrance is through a lane and up a passage which prevents the air from coming in . Before i rose at all , I was literally stewed . The old veteran , btubb 3 , was in the chair , and first introduced John West , vfho aJways makes such a speech as no man can possibl y answer—in fact , he would have done all the work without me . It is a shame , a crying sin , nay , treason , that we cannot place this man in a situation to enable him to give every moment of his time to our cause . It is actual prostitution to see such intellect weaving pocket handkerchiefs for idlers to blow their noses in . I spokealter West for nearly two hoUB , until I could literallv snealt no mnro . " T
was like a dripping statue from head to foot ; and I was so thoroughl y stewed , that I have no doubt the class-made paupers in the Andover workhouse would have considered me a delicious repast . I never saw a meeting better satisfied . After the proceedings had terminated , West and his wife , and several other rands , came to my hotel asd sat with me till a late hour .

A gre . it tumult then ensued , and the troops were called out , and forced to use their arms . / It is said that several persons were severely wounded . Before peace could be restored the partisans of M . Ronge had pulled to the eround the hntison <

"—The following letter from Halberstadt furnishes further particulars relating to the preaching of Abb 6 Ronge : — " Halberstadt , Aug . 10 . _ On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Ronge , who has numerous partisans in this place delivered his first sermon at Halberstadt , in the open air , and in the yard of the cathedral , before several thousand persons of every age and sex . As soon as he had pronounced the last words of his sermon whichwere these , — 'Yes , brethren , Rome ought to tall , and she will fall ! ' arustlingnoise was heard among the portion of the audience nearest the pulpit , when a salesman , well known for the fervour of his religious belief , rushed fonvard after Abbe Ronge , who had left the
just pulpit , and endeavoured to throw a stone at hun . f he persons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented him realising his culpable intention ; but at the same instant a young man struck , with a , heavy stick , a violent blow upon the back of AbbC- Rouge , who immediately fell on the ground . £ he Abbe got up and ran away , but soon afterwards was further ill-treated by several other men ; and it was only with great difficulty , and through the protection afforded him by a great number of his friends , that he succeeded in gaining the hotel he lodged at . Some moments after a crowd ot his partisans walked through the streets of the town , and threw stones at the windows of the houses thev thought to be inhabited by Roman Catholics The police put all their . agents on foot to aDDoase the
tumult , but their eflorts were useless ; the rioters breathed only rage and vengeance . The military were called out , some detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared , and after having ordered the rebels to retire , which was notobeyed , the troops charged them , and blood flowed m abundance .

It is asserted that this discharge took placo without any previous notice having been « iven to the people , or that it was given in such a mannoras noHo be heard but by those nearest the troop . Ihe bullets , in fact , struck , in particular , inoffensive persons , who stood at some distance from the scenes ot disorder , on the parade in front of the hotel . The number of the wounded has been estimated at thirty , seven of whom have already died . Among the latter was a Government officer , a police agent , and tlte ' father of a family , standing at the time before his door , inquiring what was the cause oJ tbo
tumuJfc . Ihis event has exasperated the population j and , to prevent more serious consequences , he authorities assembled together the Rural Guards , who succeeded at about two o ' clock in the mormn « i n dispersing the crowds . The Prince quitted Leipsic in the morning , but was again hissed by the populace in the streets he passed through , and atones were a so thrown at his coach . The troop is ordered to the barracks , and the authorities have sent for a ' attalion of infantry to reinforce the garrison . This ' attalton was received by the hisses of the populace , who 1 manifested the greatest animosity against tlie ti'uop . The Municipal Council has ordevea the eeverest measures for tlie maintenance of order .
_ AKOTHER ACCOUNT . Lkipsic , August 13 . —Blood flows within the peaceful walls of our city . Around us are dead and wounded , who have ' fallen a sacrifice to the balls of the military . Yesterday Prince John came here to review our Civic Guard . -He had already been very coolly received at Chemnitz , and even here opinion was ear y put forth against him . The reason of this was understood to be the report circulated respecting ins reserve and reluctance to the establishment of the German Catholic community , which , probably , was the more readily . adopted on account of tlie di-satisfaction which his conduct in the late Diet had occasioned . He has sent his son , too , to another
university—a step winch is by no means liked here ; and , finally , an unfavourable influence is ascribed to him as to the ' ministry of worship .. The opinion hereby produced was made manifest yesterday noon , on the exercise ground , by repeated hums for Ronge , and in spite of calls made by the Commaudant Haase , scarcely ufty voices gave yivatt for the Prince . Many arrests , speedily : followed . Thongh the excitement was very great , people did not siipposeth . it the worn was yet to come . A bout nine o ' clock a great multitude assembled in" War-horse-place , in front of the Irussiau Hotel , where the Prince usually alights , ¦ lho tattoo . was lordly beat , and the people as loudly expressed their opinions . The crowd in front of the
Motel , on the appearance of the Prince at the balcony , ijave three loud shouts lor Ronge . and the favourite songs of tlie Catholic reformers were sung , The attitude of the mob was extremely vehement . The tumult continued , and all the windows in the Prince ' s Hotel were broken . The party of military here , amounting to only 200 men , were brought out at ten o clock . When they came to War-horse-place , tbo ojuare wa 3 speedily cleared ; but the masses continued in the adjoining streets . The people be » an to separate ; but , though they were thrice summoned to disperse by the military , the dispersion could riot very speedily take place . Five rounds of musketry were fired , when nine were killed , " and ten severely
wounticci , besides numbers who were slightly by the cross firing from the hotel . The commandant was Ulpnel btistuilch . Persons attracted to the spot by curiosity suftereil most while they were endeavouring to disperse . The promenading places were now pretty quiet . The excitement , however , was not suppressed , but rather strengthened . The masses collected tliemaelvesin the city and on the promenades about War-horso-place . The cries of vage were jrightlul . At last the Prince ordered the Civic ^ uaril tp be called out ; and at half-past eleven the appel ' was beat . Had this been done at first , the tumult would have been kept down , and we should not nave had so many human lives to lament . Tin-Civic
Guavd had now to disperse the multitude ; but they would only do it on the condition that the milltaij should be withdrawn . This was not conceded and therefore tlie whole of their commanders left their posts and went home . The masses were now left to disperse themselves as they liked . The cmplovmcm ot hre-ariDs was not resorted to where only * mere tumultuous movements occurred . Late in thenWit and even till halt-past two in the morning , the complete dispersion had not taken place . However the people then went away in order that they mHit return as early as six o ' clock . At six o'clock tlie Prince left his hotel , and . went " to the post station , lie was followed by hisses , rough music , and
continued cries of "Be off ! be off ! " The wave-like movements of the multitude continued in all parts of the town until this moment ( nine o ' clock in the morning ) . It is not possible to give a correct picture otthe frightful excitement which hadseized upon the minds of all men . No one ventured , or knew how it was possible , to make any defence for what had happened , and violent speeches were heard on every side loudly uttered without any fear . It may be easily conceived that the person of the Prince and his hitherto proceedings were not at all spared . Tho le to
peopspoke each other of . the steps which thev thought necessary , and which they felt it to be their duty not to neglect . This day a meeting of students is to take place before twelve o ' clock . There is every reason , to tear what may occur this evening , for artillery is already brought from Dresden . Amon" the dead are two students , two police officers , an 3 ' according to report , Dp . Bp , professor of medicine , and a number of well-known respectable citizens We just learn that the students , armed with cudeels are assembling , and that the outer gate of the citv is occupied by a strong division of the Civic Guard

Stavforbsihrb Misers . —According ••" to tho announcement in last week ' s Slav , Mr . Roberts arrived on Monday : art at tho Wolverbnmptoa station by halt-past twelve , when a goodly number from various part * ot the district were assembled to" meet "him they moved on in procession to Bilston , with music playing and banners flying . A good substantial dinnw was provided at the Sampson and Lien , Bilston which being disposed of , all repaired t » the place of meeting , where some thousands were already as-cmi % - Linn ° y w » s unanimously called to the chair . Messrs . Brown and Ramsay addressed the meeting in a very suitable manner , after which the chairman
introduced Mr ; Roberts , who said , he had lonnwiy been a public speaker , but was not now . Nevertheless , he would not hesitate to exert himself when called on by the working classes , as he was entirely wedded to them . He was there that day to ask them a simple question-Were they prepared to become members of tho Miners' Association ? ( Uicers . ) Ua would not take tlieiv " chcevs as an answer but would in a fortnight hence learn if they had subscribed , and forwarded their pence to the General Board . Then he would know if any « ood uaubeen done ; if not , in that time he would—not wash his hands ot them-bnt attend to another call lie repeated the question-Were they prepared to do " their share of the work ? lie had been JiKhtin « for uiem
inese Hist twenty years , but it was impossible to win their battles if they remained disunited . In tlie Commissioners' Report , lately published , was to be found a Jong Jist of the South Staffordshire « vvcvanccs , which would scarcely be credited if n » t known to be true . Amongst which was the abominable 1 ruck system ; numerous accidents from various causes ; and the number of premature deaths were found to be above one half , or fifty-five out of evenhundred—another great evilin Lancashire , was where women were brought in to supersede the men when on strike ; but ajlittle sacrifice and the spirit of union once carried out in its simplest forms , would deal a death blow for ever to thosecrying evils . The battle tor freedom was now on tlie other districts
, and until they were prepared he would go and fight elsewhere . Mr . R . here related the particulars of tie llaswell explosion , and the inquest held ; also the late explosion in Wales , where twenty-six lives wore sacrificed . He also detailed the doings of the Welsh 'inickstors , where he lately eased one of those rotten bacon gentlemen of £ 45 . In these matters , although often and loudly called on , they never rinsed their voices . How lamentable to think , while Use sacrifice required was so small , that they should be so indifferent . - . Union they should embrace , or they must still remain in slavery . Since the Union had been established in Lancashire , as much as £ 1000 si fortnight had been raised ; and the
wages m the succeeding fortnight had risen £ 5000 . Masters themselves have admitted that within the last year £ 100 , 000 move was paid for wages than in tlie year previous . But raising wages alone was not his business . lie wanted to raise that tone ot manly tcchng , and witness throughout a higher tone of elevation amongst tlie labouring classes , such as he had seen in tho North , which gave him more real pleasure than tlie £ 100 , 000 advance in the wages . He wished also to see women and children appear more "respectable , - and to be better educated Another part of-his business was in teaching magistrates their duty . He did not ask them to support urn , but to support themselves , by uniting with their brethren , and net nd of the chains tln > v haA fi « . nn , i .

Previous to their Union their wages were about twelve shillhvji Per week , and
tiicy nad to work often "in time of briskness" from smntho morr . ingtill tenut night , and sometimes till twelve o dock at night , witliout a farthing additionalwa ^ -es . Some time after they . were properly organised , they got their time shortened to ten hours per duy , and tlieir wages advanced from twelve shillings to sixteen shillings per week ; but even with tnat advance , from the very fluctuating nature ' of the rade , their wages , taking tlie year round , do not average more than IVomeleven shillings to twelve shillings per week . Abont twelve or fifteen months ngo the men made an appeal to the masters for an advance of wages ; but their appeal was treated with contempt . A few weeks past the men renewed their appeal , but in a different form . They made a demand for an advance of two shillings per week , which demand was resisted by the masters , who are also in union ; and the wholo body ceased labour on the 14 th
inst . Six of the most influential of the masters havc given the advance , but others of them are doing all in their power to defeat the men . Some of them have offered the advance on condition that the men would sign a . bond that they would withdraw' from the Union , and not join noy other , This proposal tlie
