Leicester . —On Tuesday evening last , the shareholders of the Section No . 1 at this place , which contains nearly one thousand members , held a general meeting at tbe Land Pavilion . Mr Smart , in an address of some length , took a rapid review of tlie character and services of Mr O'Connor , during his public career , and Ms unremitting devotion to the cause of the people ; and , at the conclusion , moved the following resolution : — That we , the shareholders of No . 1 section of tfae Land Company , view with much regretthe course pursued b y a great portion of the newspaper press ( especially that p ? rt calling themselves Liberals , but in reality Whigs , ) in misrepresenting the conduct of Feargns O'Coanor , Esq ., and endeavouring to destroy the confidence which
the people repose in him ; that confidence he has so dearly purchased by the great sacrifices he has made in tho cause of universal liberty ; and we assure him , that neither ealnmny or misrepresentation b y a corrupt and venal press , can lessen the confidence we repose in him , strengthened as it is by years of experience ; and cemented by the persecutions he has undergone in our cause ; and we trust that in fature he will avail himself of the protection which the law affords him to chack those reptiles ; pledging ourselves to afford him all the pecuniary assistance in our power , as we believe heought not te suffer in our caase : and thereby convince the world that our friend and representative enjoys the confidence and gratitude of the working claues , and particularly of onr own glorious Land Cimpany .

That it is the opinion of the people of Barnsley , in public meeting assembled , that the motives which indace the writers of the Nottingham Mereury , the London Weekly Dispatch , the GUAe , the Muwhuler Examintr , the JVro conformist , and Iloyd ' s Weddy Newspaper , to attack the public and private character of Feargtu O'Connor , Esq ., H . F ., are firstly—they see in the land Plan and the National Land and Labour Bank , the means of th « working classes redeeming themselves from their present degraded slut * . Secondly—Those malignant scribes know that
they can only break down our graud organisation , or retard our progress , by destroying our confidence ia the friend and advocate of the poor — the enemy of oppression and tyranny—Feargus O'Connor : but we , the people of Bamsley , are firmly persuaded that Mr O'Connor ' s object is to raise the industrious portion of the community to that position in society which their laborious industry entitles them to occupy ; therefore , we publicly declare that our confidence in that gentleman is not the least abated by theliesand vituperation of those vile slaBdereri .
Seconded by John Vallance , supported by John Leary and Michael Segrave ( near neighbours of Mr O'Connor , when in Ireland ) , and carried unanimoualy . Moved by Mr Robertson : — That this meeting most earnestly and respectfully invite Feargns O'Connor and Ernest Jones , Esquires , to pny a visit to this town , when they make their West Riding tour , and allow us to exprees our gratitude to theapersoBoU y , for the many services they hare rendered the toiling millions of this country .

LouoHBOEocaa . —At a meeting of the members of the Land Company of this place , it was resolved : — That we look with feelings of scorn and contempt oa that portion of the press that has been sobaselj and unjustly assailing the public and private character of the friend of the working classes—F . O'Connor Esq .. — and consider it another proof of their want of sympathy with the people , and that they will descend to any aitto serve the cause of faction .
That we tender our increased confidence to Feargns O'Coanor , Esq ., U . P ., and beg to assure him that so long as he continues to pursue the henest course he has done , we will render him all the aid in onr power .

DREADFUL FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE . Oh fhurgday morning shortly before three o ' clock , Dfummond-strect , Euston-square , was visited by the outbreak of a serious fire , which was the house numbered 97 , in the beforenamed street , occupied by Mr F . Lawson , stationer and bookbinder . The police discovered a dense mass of black smoke pouring forth from the basement ; an instant alarm was given , and the inmates were aroused , who with one exception effected a safe retreat . In less than ten minutes from tbe first discovery , the building became wrapped in one immense sheet of flame . The
excitement at that period was most intense , the inmates who had escaped having informed the crowd that Mrs Mackie , who wassleeping in the back attic , was in the midst of the fire . A general shout of ' save her' was raised , but the fire had obtained too great a head forany one to enter tho premises . The engines arrived in rapid succession , and after some time the firemen succeeded in getting the flames extinguished , but not until the premises were nearly destroyed . At a subsequent period the firemen , whilst searching the ruins , discovered the body of an unfortunate female Bkockingly burnt .
Before the firemen had left , their attention was directed to the south 6 f London , by perceiving a light in the air , which convinced them that a conflagration was ragiag in that quarter . Thither the Brigade , West of England , and County engines started , guided only by the reflection in the sky . After some trouble the exact scene was reached , when it wss found that the extensive premises in tUe occupation of Messrs Pinchin and Co ., tanners , of the Grange-road , Bermohdsey , were in a general blaze . The engiue-hoiiBe , drying rooms , and other parts of theestabiUhment—in all , upwards of a hundred and fifty feet in length—were burning furiously , 'l'he firemen set to work , but they were unable to get mastery of the destructive element until the premises before spoken of , together with the steamengines and machinery , were destroyed . The total loss must be very considerable . The origin of both is unknown . .

" Union / wtftaJWfiiW Friends , —If ever there was a time when there was a greater necessity for combination amongst the working classes , that , time is the present . For never , in the annals of this country , were manufacturers so determinedly and so universally attempting
to force down the price of industry as at this time . On the right hand and on the left , in the east and in the west , in the north and in the south , is this work of reduction and impoverishment going forward , — ay , and reductions , too , of the most serious character , which if not obviated will entail upon us , for years to come , the most acute sufferings and deprivations , and thus cripple our associative operations for the amelioration and improvement of our degraded and humiliating position .
And without a determined and well-timed effort on the part of the working classes themselves , they will be plunged overhead and ears into irremediable difficulties , while a combination of evil circumstances and hostile operations will be arrayed and directed against you , to perpetuate your sufferings , and to extort your labour from you at a price infinitely below its value . To do so is the interest of capitalists ; it enriches them , out mates you poor indeed .
If , however , you would obstruct the growth and spread of despotism , and mitigate the evils of organised capitalists against you , you must meet them nobly and determinedly in combination , and by a vigorous and an active co-operation , you will be able to counteract the tyrannical attempts of your task roasters , and repress the outrageous reductions that are stalking abroad at noon-day without a blush . But if you refuse to co-operate ; if you decline in combination , and tamely submit to see your rights and your principles wrenched from you , then , in . deed , may you prepare for the oppressor to ride roughshod over you , and to overwhelm in distress and penury your wives and children . But we trust
that such things will not be , —that you will sympathise with and aid each other to avert such fearful calamities , and endeavour to smooth each other ' s path by friendly exertion and by a spirited co-operation . Should you refuse to do this , —should you decline to assist each other , who tlse , tre would ask , will assist you ? Who will stretch out a helping hand to save you ? If you trust to others to do that for you which you must do for yourselves , you will trust to a rotten staff , and the moment you fall upon it for support it will snap asunder , and at once precipitate you into an insatiable gulf of inextricable despair . You must not , however , trust to any . You must rely entirely upon your own energies , and from that source alone will your redemp .
turn come . : How often have we told you that the elevation of your own condition depends upon yourselves ; that in the work of the social and moral regeneration of the industrious classes , every member has a certain work to do , —a part to act , which no one but himself can perform , and which if not done by him he inflicts a proportionable amount of injury upon society , and , consequently , will impede the progress of emancipation .
Some may say that they cannot see what they can do in the work , or what office they can fill in such a movement . In reply we would say , the most humble who is willing to labour , will find something suitable to his capacities , and , in fulfiling his duties , will aid in promoting and consummating the objects of this combination . Our machinery is so extensive , and our operations so diversified , that none , however low or despised , need despair of finding employment for the exercise of his powers , for the diffusion of good , and for the recovery of labour ' s tights . A crooked rail will help to turn an engine , when a straight one would not . ' And if every working maa will only try , he will find ample room to be beneficialy engaged .
The individual co-operation of the entire operative classes is indispensable to the parfecting of our redemption ; and that co-operation must be concentrated and centralised , and every one labouring with the precision of a disciplined army ; as they must necessarily oe when acting under the direction of one head for one common good . The beneficial and effective tendency of such concentrated and centralised operations must appear to all . For instance , take a body of armed men , whose object it is to repel the aggression of an invading
army . To , msure success the forces are marshalled and taught one uniform discipline , they organise ' concentrate , aad cemtralise the individual parts o ' f the army , with such exactness and precision that one head , one commander , and even the sound of a trumpet or the beating of a drum , will set in motion one mighty mass of human beings , for the attainment of one object ; and by such uniform and centralised operations , the ; mvading army is routed , and compelled ta retreat from the field of their revolting undertaking .
Now , if a centralised power is so efficient in our military forces , must it not be as productive of good , when adopted and carried out by the working-classes , for the protection of their industry ? Your rights , your privileges , your industry , your domestic happiness , the quietude and comfort of yourfamly circles , has long , and is still invaded , and assailed by hostile capitalists ; and to thwart their purposes of cruelty , their paralysing , and at the same time unjustifiable innovations upon . your most sacred righ t * , demands that you should adopt
this centralised power , by marshalling ytur forcesby organising and consolidating your sectional energies , upon one grand and national point ; and at the command of oue head , with one voice , and with one heart , go forth to meet your assailants . By doing so , success would be certain , victory would be inevitable . It must be by this , and b y no other means , that your ri ghts will be conserved , your industry guarded , and heartless invaders be repulsed , and compelled to shrink back from the perpetration of their cruel deeds .
You may object to such operations if you likeyou may refuse to co-operate with us upon such a principle if you choose ; but yeu will be the sufferer -you may prefer your sectional endeavours to fight the battles of labour , but as heretofore , you will be baffled in your attempts , and the superior power of capital will force you into submission , and become stronger in proportion as you become weaker . In confirmation of this , we refer you to past experience . Examine the history of your local
operations , and mark well the result ; ponder over your strongest combinations , and your contentions with capitalists , and we predict , that the review will sadden your hearts , and tbe repeated discomfitures you have experienced will extort from you ( it may be involuntary ) a sigh . The many miserable failures attendant upon our sectional struggles to protect industry , ought for ever to inspire us with a consciousness of their utter inadequacy to obtain for us , A fair day ' s wages , for a fair day ' iworb . '
After this investigation , should , you still doubt the ineffective nature of merely local unions , we would refer for a still further proof of this incompetency , to the continuous decline in the price of industry . Yon have had your local combinations—you have subscribed y , onr hundreds and thousands of pounds , and you have as cheerfully expended those subscriptions in laudable efforts , to better your condition . But what good have you derived ? You may , in some instances have obtained your demands ; but such victories have been -very short-lived . For what capitalists have given you with one hand , they have taken back with the other ; and when exhausted with struggling , you have fallen hel pless victims to the cupidit y of your employers . And
now , with all your engagements , and with all the advantages derivable from your sectional operations , you are in an infinitely worse position than you were ever known to be . You are working mwe hours , ( even when trade is good ) and earning less wages than you were doing twenty or thirty years a-eo ' . Your position has been graduall y growing worse , and the price of your labour graduall y becoming less . These may be painful reflections , but , at the same time , they are positive , and undeniable proofs of the entire nefflcacy of heal unions , and point out the absolute necessity there is for the adoption of a more extensive plan , to secure to industry a proper reward . Such a plan , to be successful , must be commensurate with the objects to-be attained ; otherwise , we shall be foiled in our attempts , and again yield to the crushing hand of tyranny
-. Now , such a plan , is the National Association . Its object is to organise the local trade bodiesin one extensive ., combination , and by arranging , con-££ S ti f r- raU 8 ing the divided ene Vs of be hrnSlU I their r ' thus consolidated , may liiKf ^ 81 ? one » ™ tove not the sh ghtotdoub . and when the whole machinery is set in fuU . motion , will work out the regeneration of tte present wotims of wretchedness , of tyranny , and

To those who cannot appreciate the importanc e and practicability of our plans , we would say , calmly examine our principles , weigh well our plans o operation , and if you detect anything wrong , anything defective , help us to put it right ; assist us to rectify and mend all defects , and thus you will . aid us in perfecting one of the most praiseworthy associations , and an association too , that is well calculated to procure the rights , and enhance the interests
of the ndustriou 8 . But , if you will not assist in this , let us beseech you not to prevent others from doing so . If you will not labour for the general good of the working-classes yourself , allow others to do so who are inclined ; for we think the social and physical condition of the people is sufficiently degraded , without any attempting to make it worse , by opposing the efforts and plans set in operation for their emancipation .
To those who are with us , we say , be constant , vigorous , determined , and persevering in your exertions , and you may look for and ultimately enjoy a rich reward . The time when we must be up and doing , is come , and if we relax in duty , or shrink from our labour , we shall fail in the accomplishment of our objects , and if we do , depend upon it , we shall find no quarter with capitalists , or mercy at the hands of our task-masters ; we must double our diligence , and make our salvation and independence sure .

The Central Committee of the above expanding association , met on Monday , and following days , for the transaction of general business . Correspondence has been received from Birmingham , Leeds , Manchester , Bath , Bristol , Liverpool , Nottingham , Sab . den , Willenhall , Stockport , Sneinton , Ashton , Hull , Newcastle-on-Tync , Greenock , Glasgow , Edinburgh , Paisley , and a vast number of other places , upon highly , important business . Also , the following reports from agents and members of the Central Committee , which . would have appeared in last week ' s Northern Star , but for an unusual press . of matter . On Tuesday , October 12 th , Mr Humphries attended a public meeting at Sutton . The meeting was . well attended ) and tho speaker fully explained the objects of tho two associations , which was listened to with great attention . A vote of thanks to the speaker and chairman concluded the business .
On Wednesday , Mr Humphries attended a meeting at Howarth for the same purpose . There was a tolerable attendance , and an excellent spirit was evinced . On Thursday , Mr Humphries delivered a lecture in the Odd PellowB * Hall , Todmorden . The Epaeions hall wag densely filled , there could be no less than 700 persons present . This being the first lecture of the kind in Todmorden , considerable interest was manifested . The lecturer gave a lucid explanation of the principles and objeots of the association , and showed that it infinitely transcended ail previously established combinations for the protection of industry , and that in prepertion as thegreat principles of . the association became praotised by the working
classes , in the samejireportion would they be properly remunerated for their labour . That the redemption and elevation of the industrious was at their own eommand , that they possessed sufficient power to effect every good , great and needful changes in their social and physical condition , if they would but use that power . If they Buffer more , it was their ewn fault , and no other parties were to blame . The power to mend their condition they already possessed , that power lay in association , in co-operation , and by that means , and no other , would the people of this country be delivered from the cold and crushing hand of despotism . The lecturer then directed attention to the association for the employment of labour , and clearly pointed out the great benefits that
would accrue from a system of self-employment , and urged upon the meeting the necessity there was for the objects of this association to be carriad out ; The speaker was loudly applauded throughout his address . A vote of thanks w » s passed to the lecturer and chairman , and the meeting separated , satisfied with the superiority ef the National Association over all merely ^ lpcal unionB . On Friday , Mr Humphries delivered an- address in the Philosophical Hall , HuddereQeld , to a large and respectable audience , in which he showed the infinite superiority of the National Association over local unions , but at the same time , it was hot the intention of the association to destroy any existing
sooiety , but rather to grow out of them , that by arranging and consolidating their sectional energies upon a rational principle , they would tbe more easily and effectively prooure for industry , a more adequate compensation . The speaker then showed the advantages of co-operation , and the profits that would arise to the association from a system of self-employment , Buoh as they already have established in different parts of the country . That for the consumption of the gooda we were enabled to manufacture , we must not depend upon any class but our own , that our own members must devise to purchase them . At the elose of the address , the following resolution was unanimously carried : —
That this meeting having heard the principles and objects of the National Association explained by tho lee turer , are of opinion that sueh a combination is the bt at alculated to affect the moral and social redemption of the industrious classes of this country ; and that immc . diate steps be taken to organise the trades of Hudde ' rs . field , with the view of joining the asioelatior , On Monday , Mr Williamson delivered a lecture on the prinoiples of the National Association , to the soythe makers of Sheffield . After several qaestions hndlbeen asked and satisfactorily answered , a vote of confidence in tho association was passed , and the subject was agreed to be laid before their next meeting . But little doubt is entertained but that they will join the great movement .
Mr W . delivered an address to the sickle makers , Eye-lane , Derbyshire . The meeting was well attended , and an excellent spirit prevailed . The speaker entered fully into the workings of local unions in general , and compared them with the National Association for the protection of indu-try , asd the sister association for the employment of labour . Mr W . closed his remarks , which ocoupied an hour and a half in delivery , amid the loud applause of the meeting . A resolution was then unanimously carried , tbattheyjoin the association forthwith , Od Thursday evening , Mr W . attended a public meeting held in the Temperance Hall , Preston . The meeting wag crowded , there being about 1 , 400 m-1 . 500 present . Mr Smnglehurst was called to the
clinir , who on rising , eaid that most parties did them injustice , when they supposed that they met to encourage strikes , whereas their object was t « ¦ prevent them , in giving to tho men oh strike whenever practicable , reproductive employment , andthus render the men able to earn their ewn livelihood . The - chairman then showed the great advantages that the working men would arrive from such an association , if they would become active members . Mr W . then rose to address the meeting , and observed that it was entirely useless for local societies to attempt to compete with large capitalists , as their fund became very Boon exhausted , and the men often r ° sumed work upon worse terms than those upm which they turned out . The National Association .
he Bhowed , had recourse to mediation between the employer and the employed incases of disputes , and in many instances both parties had expressed their approbation of being brought together , regretting that in the excitement of the moment , they had demanded more than what was reasonable . Mr W . then adverted to the greatest evils and privations the working classes were enduring at the present time , and attributed them to the introduction of mechanical appliances to supersede manual labour . The working man'by-his inventive genius , and praotical aklll , made machinery whioh was to throw himself
and fellow-workman out of bread . He contended tbat the workman who invented a machine ought not to put it into working operation , until ho ha-l got some guarantee that his fellow-man would not be injured by its introduction . Mr W . concluded by urging upon them the neeessity to join tbe association , as thei be 3 tplau to effect the redemption ef the toiling millions .

ditionof tho working-classes is now so mat eriaii . deteriorated that these who formerly were well e ployed and well paid for that employment , are now either entirely without employment , or if fortunate enough to procure work , ' the remuneration for their labour is so inadequately small compared with the prices of the necessaries of life , that they barely pro cure the means of existence ; besides the increasing number of unemployed through the improvement of machinery , and the developement of the giant power of steam , calls for a new order of things . All parties seem to agree , that something must b » done , but what that something ought to be , Uv could say .

operatives was found to be worse , " and none daro predict when tbat condition would be better . No man had got a sufficiency of the spirit of prophecy left , to say when the great Free Trade anticipations will bo realized ; but , because Mr O'Connor had brought a plan into operation whioh enabled the working-classes by co-operation , to enjoy the fruits of their own industry , and on their own farms , to reap the benefits to be derived from cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do , he had been basely maligned and maliciously calumniated by a corrupt and venal press . The lecturer here entered into an able defence of Mr O'Connor ' s character , and showed by the most irrefutable arguments , his honest ; ar . d integrity . He also elearly proved Mr Bailey of tbe If trtwy to have attacked Mr O'Connor ' s Land Plan and character , because he did not approve of his
principles , and that if any other man had brought out this same Plan , it would have been trumpeted fourth as the means of salvation for the suffering masses , and the puffing Hercmry would have bone its praises far and wide . He administered a seven caBtigation to Mr O'C ' a . calumniators , and challenged them to meet that gentleman on Wednesday night , and make good their base inxinuatioas . lie clearly proved the necessity of the Land Plan—and went threugh the whole of the subject in a clear and masterly manner . The lecture was one of interest , replete with instruction , and the way in which he was received throughout , clearly evinced the satisfaction of his audience . A vote of thanks was awarded to the lecturer , to the chairman , and to the mayor for the use of the hall . Tho meeting then dispersed , highly gratified with the evening ' s proceedings .

CORK , &Q . Mask-lake , Monday , Oct . 28 . —During the past week the arrivals of all articles of home produce up to this market coattwiso were on a very limited scale . B y land carriage , however , they were somewhat on the increase . From Ireland and Scotland very little grain of any description came to hand , but from abroad the imports were tolerably good , viz ., 16 , 481 , qrs . ef wheat , 2 , 649 ditto of oats , 1 , 099 ditto of peas , and I 2 , 4 g 2 barrels of flour , the latter wholly from Canada . Fresh up to-day the receipts of English , wheat from Essex , Suffolk , and Cambridgeshire were small ; those from Kent , somewhat extensive , and of full average quality . By land carriage only a limited quantity . As a clearance of the samples waa not effected on Friday , tbe actual eupply on offer was tolerably good , owing to which , the limited attendance of buyers ,. and the continued pressure of inferior foreign flour for sale , the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was heavy at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2 s per qr . At the close ef the market a clearance was not effected .
As has been the case for some time past , the show of foreign wheat was large , and as most of the importers were anxious sellers , both landed and on board , the trade was in a very inactive state , and tbe currencies fell 2 s perqr . from those realised on this day se ' nnieht . For export scarcely any sales took place , but several entries have been made for that purpose to Holland . Netwithstandingthe supplyof barley , both English and foreign , brought forward was small , that article was very dull at bnrely , but at nothing quotable beneath , last week ' s prices We were very moderately supplied with malt , neverthe . loss
, as brewers purchased with extreme caution , the trade waa again heavy . Chevalier parcels were mostly disposed af at late rates , but the middling and inferior qualities were quite ls qer qr . cheaper . Notwithstanding the quantity of oats brought forward was trifling , compared with that on show during many preceding weeks , the oat trade was in a sluggish state , but we can report no alteration in value . Beans , though the supply was small , moved off slowly , at barelv station , ary prices . Superfine white peas , which were scarce , commanded iuu prices ; but all other kinds were the turn lower . In Indian corn , meal , and rye flsur , very few sales took place .
The flour trade was heavy , amd the quotations had a rownward tendency . The top price of the best townmade was 468 per 2 S 0 lbs ., and of foreign 27 s per 19 Clbs .
