Mr . CnxK ^ KEES « " *» is always to me both a pk-a-^ or Ucriy a-, > l--- -.

( Cheerr . ) Tlie brotherhood of all nations of the er . t th is coming , " When the nations of the earth shall lcatn the art of war no more , when they shall turn their swords into ploughshares , and their
spears Into pruning hooks , every man his own priest , an- ! his own king , sitting under his own vine and fig tree , none flaring to make Mm afraid , " of this , we see a n . nnifestat ' . OU to n" ? ght in the assembly , of TKc-n > -f all countries , ¦ who have cast aside the prejudices of that education , Tvhich taught them to consider . men of other climes , their natural enemies , and considering this in conjunction ¦ with the movements of labour all over the world , \ re must come to the conclusion tfml this «• dry bones are ijefiinoiuK to shake , each bone seeking oat its fellow , " to unite and we may feel assured that tbe sintws and fi ^ sh will not long be wanting , and . when they are breathed upon by the breath of knowledge and truth , they ¦ will tecomeagreat and mighty army , rousing like a giant from his sleep , going forth conquering and to conquer , and establishing equality , fraternity , liberty and the Xand national property . ( Great applause . )
The 'Oast was ably -responded to by Mr . Henry Ross , who spoke of tfce persecution and sufferings of tbe advocates of liberty , both in times past and present ; of the progress of freedom in spite of persecution ? and the ccmisg of that time when the nations ¦ W ' -Tild . fully enjoy the happy results obtained for them by the blootl of the martyrs . Mr . Ross was warmly applauded . The C-HiiRMAK then gave The NorPunt Star and the democ atic journals ef aW oramries . May the press teach the people howto win liberty , and how to retain it when won .
Mr . SxilxwoeD said , —In acknowledging the compliment to the journal with which he had the honour to be connected , i t would be unnecessary fur him to take up their time . Its proprietor had been with them to-night : < hey had heard Jiim for themselves . ( Loud cheers . ) One of its editors was so frequently with them that they were well acquainted with his merits —( great cheering)—and lie could only say , that he believed all connected with that journal were imbued with a true democratic ardour . ( If uch applause . ) The Northern Star had now been some years in existence ; and he would point to the past as a guarantee fo the future . Sure he was that the most fervent aspirations of its conductors were in favour of those great rights of man so eloquently proclaimed that night , and that they agreed with thepoet , that" True freedom only knows equality ;" and hence they never would rest satisfied until political and ¦ odal equality was established , and the fraternization of nations eecurei ' . ( Immense applause . )
"The health and happiness ol the Chairman" was then heartily given , and gracefully acknowledged by Dr . Fontaine . This closed the proceedings of this most important and interesting festival .

THE "UNLAWFUL ABSENCE FROM HIS SAID MASTERS SERVICE . " AT STOCKPOL . T . A LE A GUE M A NUF A CTU R ER AND HIS
WORKPEOPLE . Such Is ilie title given by a Mftnchesler newspaper to a ease tried at Stockport en Saturday last , a case which will be long remembered as distinguished by one of the boldest , most iuauly , and most telling defences of the rights of labour against the extortion of capital that it was ever the lot of a crowded and conscious audience to listen to . The question in dispute was a very simple one—whether a workman hired to perform one kind of work was liable to punishment because he refused to perform a different and harder sort of work at the same wanes ? One would think that there could not be much doubt as to which way such a question would be decided : and yet there was a doubt , great doubt and anxiety . The workmen , indeed , had a thorough reliance on
the zeal and talent of J . lieir advocate , Mr . Roberts , but the place was Stockport ; capital held its head there , high , fat , vulgar , and haughty ; and there , loo , is labour down-hearted , low and broken . The xnasier was a celebrated Leaguer , very great at the . rejoicings and testimonials ; two Leaguers sat as m ag i s trate s on the bench ; the men h ad become unruly against oppression—grumbled at tyranny , and the cotton authorities had avowed their intentii-n to " make an examine of them , just to teach the others how to behave themselves in future—things had gone on too long , and something decisive must be done to put down the spirit of insubordination , " &c .
The Court was crowded to excess ; Thomas Eskri ^ ge , Esq ., the master , rat by his attorney , Air . "Vaughan , and exchanged . friendly and significant glances with his acquaintances on the bench . Mr . Hobi-rts looked bold , we had almost said impudent : it was plain , indeed , that the chances were against Mm , but it was just ' one' of those , cases calculated , from the very desperation of its circumstances , to excite and goad him t- « his utmost power ; soft talk ffiisout of the question , "the time was'come to make an example , " &c , and there was no hope for his clients but in the exercise of that high tone of deSance that sometimes compels the most obstinate to pause .
The case was called on at about twelve o ' clock . The taree defendants— -Charles Potts , William Eye , and . Tames Fntuson—appeared to answer inforroaron s . charging them with leaving the service of tlicir esnpio . ers wi'hout notice or ] : erruis < ion , and before tiie term for which they were engaged had expired . The case of CuarJes P <» tts was first taken . Mr . Vnugfean , for the cottiji . ' aihant , stated that the defeisdant Potts was engaged by an overlooker named Jackson upon the usual terms , viz . that he should give a week ' s notice before he left , and under that engagement he continued to work up to the time of the complaint . On Thursday last , the spinners
beiag short of material called for another supply of the rovin ^ s—press rovinsjs , which they had been ¦ wo rking at ; there were none of these at hand , but . rather than they should stop , a different description —dyer ' s ravings—to those they . had been using was offered to them . The men , however , demurred , and said that rather than spin the dyer ' s ravines , they would leave the mill . Jackson replied , that , of course , they were at liberty to leave on giving the usual notice ; but tliai-, until tliat notice was expired , they mast remain . They repiied , " thai they would not stop , but would leave at once , ami they dli leave aeooeAiug ' iy , ami Lad not since re t urne d t o tiieir emptovnicnt .
Jcscph Jackson was then called and examined by Mr . Vaajihan—Is overlooker of spinners ; engaged the defendant Potts nearly two mouths ago : engaged liiiii on the usual terms , to give and take a week's Doliee . nccording to tSreir rales . There is a notice to ihnt effect put up iu the room where the defendant worked , and in several parts of tlie mill . Produced the nutice , which was as follows : — "Notice . —All persons how working , or hereafter coming to work , on these premises are required t < i give a full week ' s notice previous to leaving their employment , and such notice to be given by four o ' clock on the Saturday afternoon . ( Signed ) " Robert StansHeld , " Mersey Mills , July , 18 io . "
Defendant went away on the Thursday morning , at half-past nine o'clock . Some rovings of a softer nature than usual had been given out io the defendant with others ; these new ravines were from " dyer ' s" frame bobbins ; the others , which tlie spinaeraiiad previously worked , were of a better quality , and were frani " press " frame bobbins . Defendant abruptly refused to work at the dyers , and said lie would leave rather than do it . Told him and others If they did leave , it must be with notice . The soft lovin ^ s would not have lasted long . Told the men thev would not last above a day or two . llad
supplied them with soft rovings that the machinery might not be kept standing and they remain idle . 'That was J 113 reason ; jor tlte defendants good j not tlmt be was to continue at that work constantly , but Oiiiy till the better rovings were ready . By the Bench—Wlien he engaged the defendants , they were not to do any particular kind of work . PId not say they were to have press bobbins or jaekirame bobbins . 2 Co difference between dyers and press that he knew of in the wages given . The work proposed to them would not have made one penny diiference in the defendant's wages for that week .
Cross-examined oy Mr . Roberts—DM they te ! I you . that if you paid them for the extra work oi % cr ' s rovings they would do it ? How could they say so when there was no extra , work . Mr . R . —I 1 don ' t ask , how could they say so ; but did they say so . They could not say so , don ' t 1 tell cr there was no extra work . Mr . fioberts repeated his

quettion , iidding ; " l'H hftte ' an answer , ; if _ l : 8 tay : here for a month- " The witness seemed at a loss , l-okcd at the Pencil but they gave him no help : _ on ft * "Wrary Ihey ubuked ta . «« gf 5 him 5 . 9 a blunderer : then he locked imploirag J at Vis mister At last the . master said , Joseph , « peak out-straightforward . " Now then , resumed Mr R you have your orders—speak out . Did tuc vibu teYl you that they would do the work , U you would pay them for the additional labour ? Oh yes , i » ooarac , " they said if I'd pay em something extra they would do it . Mr . R . " In course they did , "now what did you say to that ? Why I told them it was not in my power to give any extra .
This witness was subjected to a severe and lengthy cross-examination , in t h e course of w hich he g ave most contradictory and evasive answers ; the following , however , was extracted , but the labour causftd the poor victim to perspire most ^ dreadfully ; several times lie fairly stuck , as if he could not speak anathev word . When Potts was first engaged , h e was w o rkin g press rovings , ami had never worked any other ; previous to Potts , Thomas Kershaw had worked at the < arae mills ; for a short time , Ivershaw had workud d y er ' s rovings , but while so working had been paid six shillings a week extra to find another bobbiner . The getting out this fact exhausted full ten minutes , and was a painful exhibition of the agony which falsehood , when hard pressed , endures in endeavouring to screen itself ; first of all , the extra payment was flatly denied—then the witness " didn't know , " this was followed by a "formercy ' s sake'shelp me " look at his master ; but who seemed to relish the exnosure as little as his man .
The effect of this admission as to the shares having been paid extra was qualified by the fact that he worked the fourteen boxes . Potts and the others had only been required to work four each , so that the three defendants together would ( require about , but not quite so much additional assistance as Kershaw ; but it required much screwing before Mr . Roberts could squeeze out this very simple exemplification of the truth of Cocker's arithmetic . The men had been applied to on the night previous , the Wednesday , they all , t h en , refused to work the dyer ? . Potts openly said , "They were afraid the master wanted to take advantage of them . " When they refused the master told them what he would do . " Send them all to gaol . Wouldn't let them off with paying the costs as he did the others . "
In answer to further questions , by Mr . Roberts , it appeared that the mere change from press to dyers would occupy two hours in the " creeling" and other alterations to the mules ; during that time the spinners would be earning nothing . The spinner , more » ver , paid the piecera : so , consequently , during those two hours not enly would the spinner be earning nothing but he would be losing by the amount of the piecer ' s wages as the latter vyas paid by time . Press rovincs were much heavier than dyers and , therefore , the piecers would have to put in his number of spindles in much less time . Dyers made more dirt ; this the piccer had to clear awayto clean the spindles and rollers ; the spinners work was also harder , as he assisted in the labour of cleaning a piecing . All this was not extracted at once or consecutively , but spread over above half an hour : some of the answers came out easily enough , but th e witness ' s grief was extreme as the truth burst upon
him of the effect of his replies ; his master , too , looked at him several times significantly , as if to say , "There , Joe , you ' ve made a mess of it . " The sweat rolled from his face , and so , indeed , it did , from that of his obdurate torturer ; the daywas a hotfone , Hud tbe struggle on the one side to elicit and on the other to conceal , the truth was arduous and severe , la one attempt Mr . Roberts failed : he sought to extract from his victim in the witness box , that in dyers the threads broke more frequently than in pessr and thus gave additional trouble to both spinner and piecer ; but upon this Joseph was stiff ; he would not admit that the threads broke more frequently , " not by no means ; " to be sure the press , from its twist , was the stronger , but it brok e quite as often ; the dyer was quite straight , had no twist in it . and was softer , still it did not break any more frequently for that . The witness ' s courage was rewarded with an approving smile and it kept the poor fellow ' s heart up .
Witness further stated , that the rovings of both sorts were made on the premises ; the work at the dyers did not cost the masters near so much as the press , but he " could not tell" the difference of the cost ; " could not tell" whether the labeur in preparing the press did not cost twice as much as the dyers ;" knew that the throstle spinners were working both press and dyers , but " could not tell , " whether they were paid more for dyers than press ; " could not tell" whether all the masters in Stockport did not pay more for spinning dyer ' s than press . With much difficulty Mr . Roberts got out that a spinner could earn more at press than dyers , but then the w itness " could not tell" how much , it "might be very trifling . " Th e w ork of the p iecers , too , was harder with dyers than press , their wages were paid by the spinner ; but then the witness " could- not tell " whether the piecer would want more wages for harder work , " how could he tell ? " &c .
Those non mi ruordot became most ludicrously fre q uent , v ar ied b y an occasional " he had made no calculation . " However , after a little more fencing it ca m e o ut that there w e r e frequent sto pp a g e s in the work of the mill—a day or two in the week;—and during this time the men earned nothing and had besides to pay their piecers . We regret that oar space will not allow of our giving the whole of the evidence ; the league magistrates did what they could , and assisted the witness wonderfully , leading him with questions which suggested their answer , that " whether they worsted dyers or press would not make a penny difference in the wages . "
Air . Roberts then addressed the Bench for the defence . He appeared before them that day on behalf of a large number of the worKing men of those districts—nay , he might almost say on behalf of the spinners of the entire kingdom—to utter as loud a protest as his power would enable him to do , against dishonesty and fraud . It suited not him to mince his language en such a matter—he was there that day to denounce the conduct of Mr . Eskripge as one of tbe grossest and most rapacious attempts at fraud that bad ever disgraced the cottouocracy in any part of this kingdom . His clients were determined to resist this . True , they were poor—nay , almost destitute ; true , they had borne submissively with all previous efforts to enslave them ; but the present attempt had done that which God always intended tyranny should
do—had roused their bitterness and given energy to their anger : and because they had determined to resist — because they felt that aot to resist would be a sin to themselves , their fellows , and their posterity , they had been threatened with the terrors of a gaol , He who called himself their master had tauntingly and insultingly boasted , not merely of hit wish , but of his power to send them there . He seemed to think that his power extended even over the Bench itself ; and contemplating ; it might be , the time when he should £ 11 that high and distinguished position , and speculating-probably upon the strength of his private and personal influence with the Judges who were then to try the case—he had dared , in his impudent audacity , to anticipate their judgment , and to tell tbe defendants that their doom was
already scaled . These bold speculations , however , had no terrors for him ( Mr . Roberts ); he knew , indeed , that the influences on which his opponent relied were insidious and powerful ; but he had listened to threats more fierce and from greater men ; and had learnt to rely on the power stronger than all that could be brought against him—the power of public opinion . He told bis opponent that there were two who were at that hour at the bar of public justice ; not only was Charles Potts the workman , but Thomas Eskrigge the master , on their trials . He was there to tell his opponent plainly , fully , and unim ' stakeably , that he had attempted to practice a gross traud , to commit a most flagitious robbery on his workpeople—and if his ( Mr . Roberts' ) attendance there that day , should have no other result than this , it would still kavc done something , ' twas something to proclaim the opinions of the workmen—that what .
ever decision the Bench arrived at , even if his opponent ' s power with the Bench should be as great as lie had boasted , 'twas something to proclaim the opinion of all who worked under their oppressor , that they regarded this attempt to introduce a kind of work never bargained for , never dreamt of—which other men , at other places , as well as his uwu , were paid higher wages lor working , as neither more nor less than a disgraceful and disgusting robbery . He knew not whether this attempt was to be followed by others of a similar nature ; It" the principle was once admitted , \ b would be difficult to say where it would )> top . If one cotton manufacturer were allowed to cheat , others would think it hard , if they were debarred from such a pleasant priviledge—it was an example that was peculiary catching , if it were unchecked , ho was a bold man who would take upon himself i » state the limitsto which it will confine its
operations . ( Some geatlcman here interrupted Mr . Roberts with a whisper , of which the anxiety made it audible— " * Do you know that two of the magistrates are cotton spinners ? " "Ok don't I , leave them to me , " was the quiet , but hearty reply . ) But he Jioped that Mr . Eskrigge would go home from that Court , a wiser , if not a more honest man , than lie came there , that he would receive a lesson from the Bunch , that would w . -inu him that he was not hereafter to fce so % 'inninotciit as he had previously fancied himself . The men whom he was defending , did not conic there as criminals—they came there to protest against a treat
wrong , : i wrong that , coine what would , they were determined to rchiBt ; and feeling that they were innocent , and their conduct praiseworthy , tlii'y asked with all the confidence of honesty , the Bench lo assist and pi ot"d them . With regard to the merits of li > c case , there were at first two issues to be tried —first , whether the master required : Le men to ptrforni a different work to that which they had been accustomed to do , and had agreed to do , and secondly , whether the work was of a harder form ; the question was now reduced to the latter consideration : done . And what was theevidenceon this point ; it had teen extracted Uom a most wmMng vfitiiess—

a Joseph that would not open his mouth tillhis master gave him permission , ft du so-tbat first of all the change ot vrork Involved a loss of two hours in the requisite alteration , in the males , then it had been dragged o . it after a hard struggle that the Bobbin must l ii trtit in much faster with the new work tiiau wi . ' . a the old—that the dyers' rovings required more constant cleaning—the additional labour falling on the s pinner and his piccer ; there were many other circumstances in which , as he was . informed , the work at dyers' rovings was far more dilKcult and less profitable than the press work they had been hired to do ; but u p on th e se . he' could not comment , as Joseph with repaid to them had unfortunately lost his memory . One fact , however , Joseph recollected—a fact worth more than all the others that
Joseph had suffered to escape him—that " Tho-Keishaw had but n few weeks before been paid 6 s . a week , more for the dyers than what he had been previously paid for press . "—a fact so conclusive that he confessed himself staggered , when , af ter it ba d come out fair plump and round , the magistrates had allowed the case to proceed . —How Potts could be ' Guilty" for refusing to do that for nothing , whicli Kershaw had been paid Cs . a week for doing was past his comprehension . Oh ! but then , it was said that Potts was only requlred ^ o do one third as much as Kershaw , and that it might be only for a day or two . He felt ashamed of the floor on which he stood that he should be called upon to contend against such an argument as that—it stood thusthat if you require one man to do a certain amount
ot work he was to be paid for it , but if three men were to do the same work between them they were not to be paid for it . He did not believe it possible that such an argument could bo advancedhe would not believe it possible that , by any tribunal , such an argument would be tolerated . Cheating for an hour was the same in principle as cheating for a day , a month , or a year ; who was to define the quantity of cheating that was to be allowable , the boundary where it was to stop , if Es k ri gge was to be permitted to cheat for two days why was not another to cheat for three ;? But was there a n y one in cou r t who be liev e d i f Eskrigge procured the sanction of the magistrate to cheat his men for two dayg that he would con * fino himself to so narrow a limit . After .. twisting
this argument about in every variety of shape for about half an hour , while the faces of Joseph am his master developed every contortion of agony and exhibited every colour of passion , and goinu through all the evidence over and over again that it might b remembered , and thought upon dwelling fondly on its most telling truths and avowing his attention to go over it all again before he sat down so that Eskrigge might remember it for ever ; Mr . Roberts proceeded to contend that the agreement was itself utterly worthless and nugatory . The agreement run thus : —All the workpeople were to give notice when tkey left—but there was no reciprocal binding on the master to give them notice if he thought fit to turn them away . This was the notice stuck up in all parts of the mill , and relied upon as proof that all working there were to be considered as bound
by it . He could afford to permit that this agreement had been sufficiently proved , for the truth was , that such an agreement was altogether invalid—it was deficient in what the law required , "Mutuality . " No agreement in England between two parties could stand for an hour unless both were bound by it . After carefully exp lainin g their point , and citing several authorities in support of it , Mr . Roberts proceeded to observe upon several other defects in the information , but as these l a w discussions , thou g h a musing enou g h to t h e au d itor s , would be dry work for the general reader , we pass over them . Mr . Roberta then commenced recapitulating the evidence seriatim , but the magistrates decided on first considering the law points , which has been raised , and the y retired for that purpose . Having been absent for about 20 minutes , they returned into Court , when Mr . Newton the Chairman
said . - ' WE HAVE CONSIDERED THE OBJECTIONS , AND THINK THEM GOOD , THEREFORE WE DISMISS THE CASE ALTOGETHER . " The case lasted two hours and a-half . Mr . Robert's speech occup i e d rather more than an hour , and bis cross-examination of Joseph , about three-quarters of an hour . And thus has terminated one of the most important cases , perhaps rfe most important case , ever tried in Stockport . We have given it thus at length , as it may be necessary for us to refer to it hereafter .

GREENOCK . Mr . Doyle , one of the directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , delivered two addresses here on the evenings of Thursday and Friday , the 17 th and 18 th instant , in the hall of the Mechanics ' Institution . Mr . Doyle ' s subject on the first ereing was— " The land the only sure source of wealth , and how the working classes may acquire it . " He commenced by exposing the present degraded position occupied by the landless of the labouring class , particularly in the manufacturing districts , and , in d oin g so , reviewed the wrongs and oppression which the mechanics and artisans laboured under in the workshops and factories , not only . the wrongs inflicted by the employers , but also by the operatives
thepeelves on each other through the excessive competition which invariably existed in the Labour market ; the lecturer took a retrospective glance at the various panics and stagnations in trade which had taken place in this country , and depicted the misery . which had been entailed on the working class thereby ; he next proceeded to show , that were the labourers in possession ol small allotments of land , that such circumstances would but seldom occur . Mr . Doyle , in the course of his address , gave a clear exposition of the rules and regulations of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , and showed t o the satisfaction of the meeting that , not only was the scheme practicable , but that it was calculated to
place the members in a state of comfort and independence never before occupied by the people of this country . In treating of the contemplated Bank of Deposit proposed to be established , lie showed to a demonstration that were the working classes to deposit their surplus savings in it , that they would thereby preclude the necessity of either mortgaging or selling the land to other classes . He contended for the right of the working many to the elective franchise ; he combated in an able manner the various arguments advanced b y the enemi e s of Chartism against its principles , and explained the plan whereby the Executive of the National Charter Association meant to direct the movement at and previous to the general election .
LEICESTER . Mr . Smart , of th e O'Conn o r S e ct i on of National Chartists , gave a lecture on Sunday evening last , in the Marketplace , on the present condition of society , and the steps necessary to be takon by the operatives for its amelioration , which was well attended , and appeared to make rather an unusual impression upon the very attentive audience . The time , and its attendant circumstances , are working wonderfully for the successful propagation of our principles ; the repeal of the corn laws and the blessings of one sided free trade , like lucifer matches , only required to bo struck to produce a light : and the illusion , which years of laborious preaching failed to dispel , has g iven way to a ri s e in the p rice o f fl o ur and m ea t ,
and a depression in the wages of labour . There is no general road to the brains of an operative John Bul l , except through his belly , a nd a ll o ther w ay s of permanent enlightenment is labour thrown away . To produce the most powerful effects by a public meeting , let it be held in the evening , and both leetuver and conipregation previously have breakfasted upon thinsMly , and dined upon damaged potatoes it is inconceivable with what feeling the speaker will deliver his discourse , and with what real belief every sentence will be impressed upon the clear and purified understandings of the congregation . The committed meet every Tuesday night , at No . 30 , Sanvey Gate , for the admission of members and the usual transaction of business .

. " Caution to the Chartists generally , and all persons wh o h o l d p remises where the Chartists meet i n gs are held . We , the Chartists of Brighton , deem it our imperative duty to caution our brethren against a person of the name of James Osborne , by trade a Currier , ( we believe now residing in Museum-street , Bloorasbury , London , ) who has been in this town within these few days ; and in consequence of representing himself as one of the Chartist body , and stating that he expected to receive the sum of £ 1 from Mr . John Good , a member of this locality , and inquiring for tbe Northern Star- which he was supplied with : the landlord ¦ of the " Artichoke" ( the house where we me ^ t , ) was induced to give him credit to the amount often shillings , unt i l he attem p ted to
persuade Mr , A kehurst , onr worthy host , not to belong to the Land Society any longer : which led Mr . Akehurst to doubt Mr . Osborne ' s sincerity , and on inquiring of the members on their next meeting night , he feund Osborne ' a statements to be quite false ; and moreover that he had behaved very disiionourab / y to the Brighton Chartists on former occasions .. lie has decamped without paying Mr . Akehurst and others , therefore we do hope the Chartists will discard him wherever he may intrude himself among thom , ashe is most decidedly an enemy to our cause .

STATE OF TRADE .
Leeds . —From flic circumstance of many of the larjrer manufacturers being engaged in making to order -i very limited quantity of goods at present in demand tveri brought to the Cloth Hnlls , and markets nvro dull both on Saturday and Tuesday . Prices continue steady . Business is duller an the warehouses than is usual in the month of September .

Should the weather turn out cold next month , the probability is , that there will be pretty brisk trade m heavy seasonable goods . Manchester . —Our cloth market has become feverish owing mainly to the advance in food and the prospect of having high-priced cotton . There is a trifling advance on . both goods and yarns , but by no means equal to that ore cotton ; at old rates a large business would be transacted Bbadfobd .-TIh ; demand for combing wools to-day is an average one .
