      a friend whose name is ^ known and honoured by every reader oftheNorthern Star ; from Ms pen we give— THE POET'S MISSIOH . BI IBNE 5 T JUKES . Who is it rivets broken bands , And strangers'hearts together , And builds , with fast-decaying hands , A home to last for tver ! ( Prom thunder-donas arawj but the light , And casts the bolt away , Upluring , from the soul-less night , The soul ' s returning day ! Who is it calls up glories past From tombs of ctrarcheB old t And chains a hero ' s spirit fast . When fades his grassy mould ? Who is it , with age ' s vanquished form . Treads death ' s ascending path ; Yet stronger than the fiery storm Of tyrant ' s in their wrath . Whose voice , so low to human years , Has still the strength sublime To ring thro the advancing years—And history—and time ? Who is it , in love ' s servitude , DeTotes his generous life . And measures by his own heart ' s good , A world with evil rife t The Bard—who walks earth ' s lonely length , Till all bis gifts are given ; Make others strong with his own strength , And then fleets back to heaven . " Republican Slavery , " and the continuation of the memoir of " Archy Moore , " exhibit in a strong light the damnable character of American slavery . May the Lands of such men as Garrison be strengthened , to victoriously labour for the redemption of the Western republic from this foul unnatural stain .

      THE WINNING OF THE INFANTA . A ROMANTIC BALLAD . ( From Punch . ) FTTTE FIBST . The sun shin « B far on Neuilly , ' tis past the hour of dine , Old France and his four Royal sons are sitting o'er their ¦ wine ; Butuntasted by the Monarch's Bide bright gleams the Clos-Vouceot , As he chinks his five-franc pieces , and surveys his sons a-row . Ob , a wily man is that old King , his whiskers long and With a twinkle in bis eye , that seems "I ' m wide awake " to say ; And the smile that plays about his lip is just the smile that suits The only King in Europe who has polished his own boots .

      There sits dark Joinrille , with moustaches right truculent of twist , Montpensier , the muffin-faced , Nemonrs , the close of fist , And young D'Aumale , the fair and flat , a Chasseur tight and trim , And the Monarch thought "It ' s lucky that I ' ve found a wife for him . " " Xemours , thou art mine own true son — small dower thy wife need pny ; By skinning flints and shaving close thoa still wilt make thy way ; Joinrille I ' ve wedded to Brazil , her diamonds and her dollar . :,

      And all save one I ' ve fitted with matrimonial collars . " There sit two Hojal maidens in the Escurial towers , T ' neir hands his prize who mystifies the European Towers ; Bv St . Denis , there ' s one for thee . Montponsier , my " boy V And down with a crack , on his third son's back , came the Monarch ' s hand in joy' ! " For the rival kniehts Trappani , Coburg , Montetnnlin , Don Francisco , Don Enrique , I hold them not a pin J Let who will have Her JIajesty , we for the Infanta stand ; There are cases where one bird i' the bush is worth two birds in hand .

      " What ho , my squires' brinj forth my horse , my armour and my shield . And * twa-s rare to see the ancient King how he armed him for the field . While his four sons gathered round him , each on his bended knee , And took a lesson from that old Chevalier d" Industrie . HehatU braced his helm of humhug , his breastplate of untruth , He hath ta ' en his shield of impudence and his lance of little ruth ; And his sons up to the saddle-tree give him a leg at need , And proudly paces Artful Bodge , his old but trusty steed !

      FTTTE SECOND , The lists ara cleared , the barriers reared , the knights come riding in , The captive maidens sadly look , for liking is a tin ; They may not choose , may not refuse , for such their Royal parts , "Tis but their hands are wanted—what need to think of hearts ? Hides in the van the pale Trappan , his sword is in its sheath , The legend hlazoned on the shield " I fight "—a cross

      beneath , Montemolin , h s shield within displays a crown of brasp , Which his sire Don Carlos gave him when he found it wouldn ' t pass . Nest rides Cobourg-Cohary , and the Queen doth wish him luck ; For though somewhat out at elbows , he ' s what ladies call a "duck , " And he hears the Coburg legend , which his seedy look confirms , Of " Royal marriages performed upon the cheapest terms . "

      Don Francisco rideth after , looking fain to run away , Right groggy i 3 he in his se'fe . and anything but gay : Follows closej bold Don Enrique , he hath caught the Infanta ' s eye , He blows a kiss to her , and she Mows one in reply . The trumpets sound , the knights ride round , displaying of their paces , And the ladies gay , they flirt away , displaying of their faces ; When o ' er the barrier of Utrecht , that shuts the lists below , With lusty leap Louis Philippe on Arttul Dodge doth show .

      lie wears bis crown with vizor down ; " Hold hard' . ' be cries aloud , " I too will ride a tilt of arms before this noble crowd ;" And he strikes on Prince Trappani's shield , who , the challenge when he hears , Immediately is taken ill , and straightway disappears . " Ha , ha : I guess that ' s one the less } > ~ ow Sir Couurg ) for you ;" Xnci he tippeu Ms lance with goW , foT well his foe ' s weak point he knew ; A rush , a thrust , —a cloud of dust , —and , when it left the air , There lay the Coburg , dead to "time , " and much the wors fur wear .

      "Now , rest thee , Don Francisco , I leave the Queen to JOU . But , Don Enrique , there ' s a crow to pluck between us two . " And he bent his lance of slander ' gainst that heart so tiue and leal , And , with a grin , the stern old King sent home the poisoned steel . Then silent flowed the tears of those maidens as per foice . Each sa ' . v her favourite champion sent , as Bell ' s Life says , 4 ito dorse ;" But nought recked he , the grim Louis , of breaking lieai ts , or wo ; He'd come to win a wife , and one hu'd have before he'd

      go . On came Montemolin , but aja his glance he backward tlircv .- , J ?« r ihe constable was on his track , as well old Louis knew ; "Police : ' shouts France , hut their approach the Count awaited not , At first glimpse of the alcaide he hath bolted like a shot ! The jousts are done , the prize is won , old France has gained the c ; : y , Tho' " iis in what some folks may call—a dirty sort o !

      CITY OF LONDON BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS . A general meeting of the city of London boot and shoemakers was held in Mr . Duffey ' s large room , oi > Tuesday the Oth instant , to bear a eharge laid against Mr . Clark , the general secretary , for the embtzzleinent of £ 14 9 d . 6 d ., which was brought under the consideration of the meeting by Mr . John Richards , a member o < the Association , who called on Mr . John Steward , late district secretary of the West End Men's Men , and now out of the Association , to substantiate tlia charge , as he it was who first set the report of the alleged embezzlement abroad . A deputation had invited Messrs . Stew . tri . Smitnyes , and Clark to attend on the night of trial . Smuhyes and Clark were in attendance , but Stewart ( If . clined doing so . Mr . Nathaniel Richards was unanimously called to the chair . He called the attention ot tliu meeting to the subject thoy had assembled to consider , and hoped they would give every one a fair hearing .

      Mr . John Richabd then came forward and said , he had no ill feeling towards the general secretary , but that the charges were the constant gossip of the party wlie had left the Association , and he was determined that there should be an investigation . He laid the charge against Clark to give the party the opportunity of proving the charge ^ buths was sorry to say that he had received a letter from Stewart , declining to come forward . Mr . Clark then rose , and stated that he felt no ways angry with any man , if he had any doubt on his mind that all was not right , to lay any charge against him . Mr . Clark then produced his receipts and books for thr inspection of the meeting , to see how tbe money was spent , proving to tbe satisfaction of the meeting that nothing was wrong . lie likewise called Mr . Smithyers to prove what he stated was true , which he did by stating that he himself paid £ 8 9 a . 6 d . of the money that w »» disputed , out of the £ H 8 s . Mr . Clark showing receipts from Stewart for the rust , which gave general satisfaction .

      The Chairman having asked whether any member of the Association had any question to put to Mr . Smithyers or Mr . Clark , several questions were put to both 01 them , and answered by Mr . Smithyers and Clark to the satisfaction of the meeting , when a vets of the meeting was given to Mr . Smithyers , expressive of the meeting ' s satisfaction with his explanations . Mr , Mether from the third proposed , and Mr , West the district secretary , seconded , that this meeting places the greatest confidence in the general secretary , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Clabe thanked them for the vote and the confidence they placed in him , and he hoped that his conduct hereafter would give them no cause to regret the vote they had taken .

      The Chairman called on Mr . M'Cartby to give a report of his miosion in the country , which he did to the great satisfaction of the meeting . He likewisu challenged his accusers to lay a single charge against him , and called on them to prove the falsehoods they had circulated through the country . P . S . —Now , shopmates , the truth of things is this : — the general secretary paid on Rales' shop £ 1 8 s , Uudermark ' s , £ \ 8 s ., which made j& 2 16 a ., which Mr . Stewart allows , and Stewart advanced £ 6 8 s ., which he got credit fur out of the levies of his district , so that the amount , of these two shops on strike was £ 9 4 s ; so that the £ G Ss . never came into tbe hands of the genural secretary , but

      the general secretary was obliged to charge them with the full amount that the shops cost on strike . Now Mr . Fawcett ' s shop was situated in the very same manner , for £ S 9 s . fid . was paid by your late general secretary , Mr . Smithyers , and he got credit for it out of the levies of his district . This , coupled with £ o 18 s . Gd ., which Stewart says it paid , will make , £ H 8 j ., which is the money actually paid on Fawcett ' s shop .

      GENERAL MEETING OF THE MANCIIESTER SECTIONS OF THE CORDWAINERS ' MUTUAL ASSISTANCE ASSOCIATION . At the general meeting of the Manchester Sections of the Cordwainera' Mutual Assistance Association , held at the Hop Pole Inn , Hard man-street , September 19 : h . for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the committee appointed to inves-< i ^ : i tf the balance-sheets , and other business connected with the association , Mr . Wright having been unanimously called io the chair , the following resolutions were agreed to : — Moved by Mr . Pemberton , seconded by Mr . F . Tynan , and carried : —

      1 . That the committee appointed to investigate the balance sheets of the association and other business connected therewith , having reported tbe result of such investigation , this meeting is of opinion , that the report ( especially as regards the monetary affairs of the association's highly discreditable to tbe parties who have conducted the society , and unsatisfactory to the members , inasmuch as it Mas destroyed all confidence , and therefore fully warrants this meeting in withdrawing from the association . Moved by Mr . Edward Cahill , seconded by Mr . I-aac Morris , and carried : —

      2 , That progression being one of the paramount ob . jects of the industrious classes ; and experience having proved the utter inutility of isolated trades' unions for the accomplishment of its objects . This meeting is of opinion , that a more extensive combination of trades , based upon tbe principle of reciprocal interests , is better calculated to further the ends of labour ; we , therefore , resolve to give in our adhesion to the National Association of United Trades . Moved by Mr . John O'llea , seconded by Mr . Edward Kirby , and carried : — That the thanks of this meeting are hereby tendered to tbe Chairman for his impartial conduct during the transaction of busine .-s .

      ADDRESS OE THE OPERATIVE COKDWAIXERS OF MANCHESTER TO THEIR FELLOW SllOl'MATES OF IHB U . MTED KI . VGD 0 M . Respected Sliopniatos , —We deem it prudent ( after mature deliberation ) thus publicly to inform you that we have withdrawn from the Mutual Assistance Association , and given in our adhesion to the Natiunul . Association of United Trades , under the presidency of T . S , Duncombe , Esq ., il . P . Most of you are aware that we have bee ; : connected with isolated trades' unions sufficiently long to convince us of their utter inutility . About two years ago we merged our sectional efforts into one united system of action , aud , although supporting it under the most trying difficulties , we find ourselves compelled to withdraw , owing to the mismanagement of the monetarysad other business connected with the association .

      Shopman—We are decidedly of opinion , that labour , hitherto oppressed and controlled by capital , is about to assume its proper position , and that the system of employing men upon their own capital is far preferable to the old system of " striking" and sending men on tramp , thus breaking up many a happy home , destroying the constitution and uiora . 19 of our members , and , in many instances , when they do find employment , actually engage to work for manufacturers who supply the shops from whence they struck . The following are successful instances of the practical working of the system we are about to embrace , namely : — "The workmen ' s own shop . Prury-lane ,

      Loudon . The Framework lvnitteis , Chair-makers , &ii . " This in our opinion is an improved feature in the history of Trades Unions , and if properly carried out will ultimately achieve the objects for which ws have struggled so long and vainly . One of the objections urged by our opponents is '' Oh ! say they . if you cannot legislate for yourselves how can you expect a mason or a carpenter to do so for you . " Now we appeal to your common »• use , nudnsk : is this Iseepinjr pace with the spirit of progression , we consider in our humble judgment that tliu longer we keep our brethren ofthcorrier of labour in ignorance of our position , so long will they be unwilling , because not understanding eacli other grievances , to lend a helpin *! hand in the hour of trial .

      Shopmates , —It wou'd be an idle task were we to expatiate on the numerous benefits we anticipate from this great confedracy , suffice it to say , we have joined , and earnestly invite the co-operation of our brethren in the achievement of this great work of l » ubour * s regeneration , P . S . —We have decided upon a mutual exchange of cards whether of the old Trade , or the Association , and we expect the country to act upon the same principle , for it is our opinion , that however we may differ upon the subject of union , men who are on the road and in search of employment , are justly entitled to the support of their shopmatcs so long as they are supplied with a legal card . By order , Samuel 1 ' embi-rton , Secretary ,

      NATIONAL UNITED TRADES ASSOCIATION The adjourned meeting of officers of Trades was held at Thomas Galespie's , JJou Quixote Tavern , Trongate Street , on Tuesday evening , when a greater iicccssion of trades were entered on the roll . General approbation of , and confidence in , the National Association was expressed as the only certain ine : m = by which the trades generally could save themselves from redactions of wages , and encroachments on their privileges hi any future slight depression ol trade and commerce , which time ' s past experience had proved the masters t ; ike immediate advantage ; of to increase their profits at the expense ol the workers . Arrangements were made for the missionary to witness several trades bodies .

      Wednesday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs addressed the Joiners in general meeting , convened liy placard at the Tron Church Sessions House . After the lecturer had concluded , the following resolution was curried unauimously : — That the society will be enublod successfully to oppose swy encroachments on their waj-es or pririloces \ i \ joining thr National Association , Tim u special geucra ' l meeting of the whole trade be convened at the earliest convenience to hear : i lecture from the trades missionary and decide on our adhesion .

      menoing at one o ' clock , whe » I Mr . Jacobs attended , ccordinj ? to previous arrangement , and delivered an address on the principles and advantages of the National Association , showing how the society will put a bar to strikes by its vast accumulated and ever accumulating fundB , rendering each society that joined so powerful that the masters would have no j hance to conquer , and therefore they would ayoid entering upun the conflict , for , said he , there never was a party that entered into a strike knowing they would be beat , there was always chances on both sides , the Association would make its societies sure of success through the funds and income of the National Association , and therefore remove the most emote idea of victory from the employers , who would li'oru that moment cease oppressing the workmen , and thus reiiioye the cause of strike , for all

      strikes had arisen from one cause—in encroachments fffeeted or attempted on the wages , rights , orprivivilege 3 of labor , —there have , therefore , occurred but tWO Classes Ot' Strike , defensive or offensive , or rather protective and reclaiming , the first to resist encroachments , the second to regain what had at some previous time of weakness been taken away ; the Association would enable them to regain the last and maintain their present rights and privileges with words , without strikes ; yet if at any time any mas ters should be to stubborn to forget their own interests , the Association would employ the turnouts , a circumstance that would soon bring them to their senses , as they had done at Denbigh and Holy well , in Wales . Alter the missionary had concluded a lengthy address , it was moved by Uharles Treanor , seconded by \ V . M'Nee •—

      That the Mint-rs would possess much greater power by joining the National Association , and that a meeting be called ef all the districts to consider the question , when the missionary be requested to attend and open the business with n lecturo thureon . Thursday Evening . — Mr . Jacobs delivered an address to the Iron Moulders in Nelson Street Chapel , setting forth how theirs , as well as other trades , m » y be benefited by the Association employing the turnouts and surplus hands at their own occupation , and accumulating the funds by the profits , in which all would have a joint interest . It was agreed to have another meeting on the subject , and hear a lecture from the missionary , encompassing the whole question of labour , its grievances , the cause and means within the reach of the trades to redeem themselves .

      Friday | Evenine . —Mr . Jacobs addressed the Bakers in the Odd Fellows Hall , Trongate , and thoroughly convinced them that by joining the Association they may maintain and increase their present advantages , by always being in a position to start business under the board of directors . A vote was taken for a second meeting to be called on the subject . Several members of the trades here have determined to take shares in the £ 100 , 000 fund .

      THE NEEDLE POINTERS ON STRIKE . Redditch . —About two years ago , a manufacturer of the above place , Mr . John Choice Chambers , in > trod need a machine to dispense with the Ruff Pointers or Needle Grinders , a body of men in nunv ber about 170 . They seeing their employment about to fly from them , formed themselves into a Union , when after a short struggle , Mi * . C . ve * y _ wi-ely , because compelled , gave up the obnoxious instrument , himself breaking the first wheel , an account of which was given in the Star at the time . Since then the men have continued paying weekly , until now they haveemasseda sum of from 300 to 1000 pounds . Five weeks a « o , th « majority not feeling satisfied with their prices , a meeting was called of the entire

      body , when a fresh scale or list was made out ind handed to the two principal masters of the trade , Messrs . Hemming and Messrs . Bartleet , with nn intimation that after finishing tho work out they should stop until their terms were acceded to . The above named firms are decidedly the most liberal in the place , and therefore , many of the Star readers may naturally say why strike against them . The fact is the great bulk of their Needles pointed , &c , are called . Bi-tweens and Blunts ) , which is the Pointers very worst work , that is to say , the tour first size 3 , viz ., 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Now although the workers of this branch of the trade are the best paid body of men , yet at these sizes , « f which an immense number are done , they cannot earn on an average more than

      5 s . per day , out of which they have to pay rent , and wear and tear of tools . < fcc . But to proceed , the aforesaid gentlemen refused to comply . A meeting was railed of the manufacturers , who not only refused the advance , but gave out a scale considerably lower than at any previous known period . The masterspompouslyparaded through the medium of the Worcester papers , the injustice of the men , sitting forth the unfounded assertion , that they , the Pointers , were earning from three to five pounds per week , thereby endeavouring to disarm them of any sympath y the kingdon at large might be disposed to exhibit . Now we are informed on unquestionable authority , that the above statement is false . It is true three or even five pounds could be earned at some sizes , and no doubt attimeshas been , But we are positively assured by our informant , a foreman of one of the principal firms of thirty years standing , that they cannot on the average earn and

      work hard six hours per clay , more than from thirty to forty shillings per week . This sum to the eye of a stranger will appe . ir very great . But be it understood as a positive fact , that the moment they enter the Mills , many of which are complete Hill holes , their lives are in danger every moment from the frequent breaking of the stones . This is nn far fetched assertion , but a possitive fnct , the truth of which many widows and orphans can testify to , havinsr their husbands and fathers brought homelifeless , their brains literally dashed out . Even supposing they escape this catastropliy , their lives are being d ; ii ! y and hourly sacrificed by the pernicious nature of their employment . Few , very fe \ r , ever see the age of thirty-five or forty . Let the hired scribe who writesfor the local papers in the neighbourhood ( who by the by might get recognized if Arthur Thistlewood was in beine ) let him , we say , visit the sick chamber of the Pointer , and witness the awful

      nature of his disease , which is the inevitable consequence of his employment , and then say whether a Pointer is too well paid . It is cough , cough , day and ni » ht , vomittiiig at every roach portions of his liver nnd lungs , with no help till released by death . Since the commencement of the strike , various meetings of the employers have been held , at which resolutions have been passed , expressive of a stern determination of starving the men into complyance with their reduced terms . The Pointers have recently handed in a " reformed" list of prices , taking off or rather reducing the prices on their best jobs , and putting it on the sizes so ill paid ; but all to no purpose . The masters n" -e striveing to get machinery

      to do entirely away with hand labour . It . is currently reported they intend as soon as their present orders ore disposed of , to close tlieirfactories , whereby from ten to twelve thousand will be entirely deprived of employment ! But like the heroic Miners , they are determined Io stand out . We are informed application was Inst week made to the National Trades ' Union , ami that that application was responded to , and on Saturday last the Treasurer of the Pointers forwarded a cheque for something less than fifty pounds , which makes up their quota levies , &c , Ac , for six months , and wo bulicve a dclcgato will by the time this is read , have been down , and we trust in the next number of the Star to have the pleasure of announcing the termination of the strike .

      Bklper . —A correspondent writes : —lam quite surprised that you h . tve not had before tiiis time ; i report of the meeting of the Horse Nail Makers , held at tliu Nag ' s-hcad , oji Monday ihe 2 Sth of September , to make further onquirics into the truck system anil " drawbacks" carried on by some of Choir employers .

      bailroom for state occasions , and other rooms , on the (• outh side of the old building .

" \ Notwithstanding the power and brilliancy of many passages contained in this story , it is becomine wearisome from its length and tbe miserable modicums doled out monthly . An article on the ' Commerce of the Oriental ArchinelaKo" recommends this country not to content itself with , a solitary station there , since the Archipelago is so immense , that it would take ages to exert an influence over it from a point like tabuan , lying at its north-western extremity , but judiciously to " select other positions man time to time , as opportunity offers , that we may faithfully discharge towards the natives of that part of Asia the obligations we tacitly tafee upon « OTseYn > s bT settling permanently among them . " "The Endand of the French Drama" is an amns-l ing exposure of the ignorant prejudices of our French neisrhbours against Perfide Albion ; this article would have been still more interesting had not a similar , but better written , show-up of Ze Matrche ' - de Lmdres appeared some weeks ago In the Aihc-1 % TKeiim , "The Poor Lw and the Peasant Girl " * illustrates some of the vrronjs of the poor under the . operation of the now exploded and universally denonnced "boon .
