      Mb John Webt at Leeds !—Rbxewal op the Chartist Agitation . —Mr West opened liia mission in the large room of the Bazaar on Sunday evening last , in & luminous aDd argumentative address , which was well received by an attentive audience . He commenced by pointing out the necessity for renewed exertion on the part of the Chartist body to procure a large number of signatures to the Great National Petition , which was to be presented to the House of Commons in May next , and by expressing a hope that the peopleof Great Britain wouldrender efficient support to the champion of their rights , Feargua O'Connor . He alluded to the efforts that were being made by the aristocracy to ausment the

      army and navy , and stated that no less than two thousand applications had been made at the Ilorae Guards for officerships in anticipation of ihe muchdesircd increase ; doubtless , this was the main . ob « ject for which bo much outcry had been made conoerning oar national defences ; but the working classes had nothing to fight for—they had no property at stake ; they had no property but their labour , and for that there was no protection ; neither had they their rights as Wen , and , until their rights were conceded , their cry should still be : — 'No vote ,-no muskstr The Chartists would thua prove themselves to be the tree Peace Society . Hecommented on the Odsdition of Ireland , and the manufacturing districts of England , and dwelt ontheaufferiDgatbe

      people endured in both countries through want of the common necessaries of life , whilst they were surrounded by abundaace , he therefore thought tbe proper way to pacify Ireland would be to give them food instead of Coercion . Daring the late session ofParlianient . a eomimttee had been appointed to enquire into the cause ef the present commercial distress ; this vas the usual mode adopted by the Whigs to get over a difficulty . The commission was a farcethey would sit asd hoar all manner of contradictory evidence , and would perhaps be prepared to report ' in 1850 , when they would hold different ' opinionsas to the cause , but the working clas 3 would still have

      to suffer through the incompetency of the government ; let them therefore resign office , and allow the people to manage their own affairs , tor they could not possibly be worse oondnctedlthan they we at present He referred to the various societiea which existed for sanatory reform , education , and other purposes which were commendable in themselves , but if the Charter was establised . each man could amend those matters , as they would no longer be under the neaessity of being crowded together in filthy cellars . There also existed a large body of men , who advocated the abolition of death punishments , they had a horror of human life being taken by the bayonet , bullet or halter but none of them thought of abolishing the

      system of taking nte through - starvation , through which thousands had perished of late , both in Ireland and England , and pointed to the Charter a 3 the remedy for those evils . Hegave aglewing deaoription of the rapid strides which Chartist principle were making in the agricultural districts , and gave a cheering account of his tourin the west of England . London also was up and doing , and he trusted that the ' men of the north / would again put forth their onergies as before , to . establish the glorious principles of the People's Charter , and concluded bis eloquent and convincing address , by inviting any person to put any questions they thought proper , but all seemed perfectly satisfied . —Mr George White then

      addressed the meeting . He said tbat as the presentee w ^ peculiarly fa vourable for pushing forward Chartist principles , through the total want of confidence which the peoplelhad . in the Whig and Tory fac - tions ; and , as the Executive Committee had resolved to renew the agitation with ; energy and vigour , he felt it his duty to take hi 9 placa once more in the Charts ranks . CWlsm w * dear to him a » ever , and he would cheerfull y assist in swellin" the numbers to the great National Petition , and c aHed on all present to do their duty and set a good example to their fellow-countrymen . He passed a hieh euloeium on the ability and integrity of "Mr West , and cone uded by proposing the thanks of the moat .

      ing to him , for his viluable services to the people . The motion was carried unanimously . Mr West thanked the meeting for that mark of their coi . fidence , and expressed his pleasureat seeing Mr George White and Mr James Leach aaain taking their position in the Charlist movement . ¦ On the motion of Mr West , thanks were voted to the chairman and the meeting separated . —Mr West left Leeds for Newcastle-on-Tyne , on Monday morning . Halifax . —At the usual weekly meeting held lant Sunday Mr Fielding iook the chair , who , after reading

      the article in the Star copied from Hownr ' s Jour nal , introduced to the meeting Mr Bawden , who spoke at great length on the Evils of Class Legislatiop , ' and concluded by calling on the psopfe to unite and ^ enrol their names as members of the Chartist Association . On Monday evening the quarterly meeting of tho members took place when the secretary brought up the balance-sheet for the past quarter , which having been read was put to the meeting and carried ; alter which a vote of thanks was passed to the members of the late council , and a new oneekcted .

      Rochdalb . —A public meeting was convened by placard in the Chartist Hall . Yorkshire-street , o n Tuesday evening week , for the purpose of adopting the National Petition . At eight o ' clock the hall was crowded to excess . Mr Robert Gill , a working man , was called to the chair , and briefly opened tbe proceedings . Mr Thomas Livsey in an able speech moved the first resolution : — That thii meeting is of opinion , that the awfully dopressed and degi ading position of the industrious cla » 3 e » of Great Britain and Ireland , is to be mainly attributed to class legislation ; an < 3 , that the people of thoje Realms can never be permanently benefited natil the whole male adult population are admitted within tbe pa'e of tlia constitution , by tha entotment of the document , « atitlfld the People ' s Charter . And further , tbia meeting pledges itself never to relax its exertions until the aforesaid document becomes tbe law of this land .

      Mr Doyle , an Irishman , and a member of tbe Confederates of Rochdale , seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr E . Mitchell moved the adoption of the petition , which was seconded by Mr John Scowcroft , ably supported by Mr James Leach , of Manchester , and carried unanimously . Mr Charle Walksden moved , and Mr D . NuttaJl seconded : —• That this meeting pledge itself to mpport Mr O'Oonnor in defending his teat for Nottingham . Carried unanimously . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting dissolved .

The secretary read the reply received from the secretary of the British Institution , stating that there were three rooms connected with that Institution ; the respective charges for which were 7 s ., 12 s ., and 26 * . ; and that in engaging tha largest room , the Chartist body had paid no more than other parties .

      DEMOCRACY OF FRANCE . Brethren , — Our object in addressing yon is to dejirecats tha revival of national animosities between the two countries , attempted to be excited by the gunpowdi't manifestoes of the Duke of Wellington and the gunpow . d « r manufacturer , Mr Plgon ; the one ansious to revive the scenes of his youth ; the other to obtain an increased demand for his manufacture . We , as Chartists and Dtmoerats , turn a deaf ear to their cries ; we have , and we trait you have also , far nobler objects in view than bloodshed / war , and slaughter . We wish to inculcate tbe princip les of universal brotherhood , and do not intend to be diverted from a ^ vocatiog peace anil frattrnity by the interested outcries of disappointed warriors .

      r No , brethren of France ! we trust the day has long gone by , when a few who wish to tyrannise over the many , can create an ill feeiiDg betwL-en the two aation « . We t are awBre tbat you , as well aft ourselves , are living under a gevernmeBl baied on force ind fraud , but ia that nnj reason why we should quarrel with ecch other ? No !

      Frenchmen ! we respond with joy to the spirit elicited at ihe Reform banqnets at Rouen , at Lyons , and other towns , where you raised the cry of liberty , equality , nnd fraterrity . Oa the part of the Chartist citizens of London , we respond to you—we ask of you as men and Democrats , to let all petty feelings of rivalry < He away between U 3 ; if any rivalry is to be exeited , let it fee as to which shall be of the greatest service in regenerating Europe . Citizens *! we , like you , are struggling for our rights ; we , like yo ' u , have been trodden under foot by a base and venal government ; and we , like you , are determined to obtain from them those rights which , trusting to the disunion of Democrats , they have so long and so unjustlj withheld . We look on tbia war cry , as brought forward for the purpose of estranging the people of the two countries , and retarding those reforms we have striven for so loBg , but our mutual enemies are much mistaken , if they Imagine tbat tbe cry of Jnrasion and war will serve as a means to strangle the struggle for liberty .

      Frenchmen ! a new generation has spring up since the days of Waterloo .

      " Unim for the Millien . " The autocrats of the iron trade , the coal Jdnj > > and the cotton lords , nay , the whole aristocracy of trade and commerce , are just now engaged in a combined crusade against labour . Long has the wind blown a steady gale from this quarter , but now it blows a hurricane . If the mea are but steady and firm the imperial despots of South Staffordshire must soon succumb . Their proceedings are so monstrous , so utterly uncalled for by any circumstance usually pointed out as a justification

      of reductions , that nothing but a knowledge of the culpably disorganised condition of the men , could have led them to hazard the attempt—with the short supply of material on hand , and the heavy nature of their still unexecuted orders—but the money panic , the temporary ( and only temporary ) check to railway proceedings , for the construction of railways is an employment much too profitable to be for any long period interrupted in its progress . These fortuitous accidents were not to be suffered to pass without being , turned to account ; anything like a resistance was scarcely dreamed ot ; and as one of the leading iron masters has admitted ] ii the men are obstinately bent upon resisting , iron

      must go up , and then there s an end to even a pretence for this reduction . It is curious to observe , that dthough at the late meeting of the iron kings it was resolved that bar iron should be reduced to £ 8- per ton , as the maximum , the last market shows it up _ already to £ 8 . 5 s ., with rising markets , in Scotland . They talk again ot the necessity of this reduction , to enable them to force a foreign trade , while the fact is , that at the prices ( confessedly too hi gh ) of the last year . the export of iron has been greater in amount than any preceding year . But conceding for a moment that some slight reduction was ealled for . what is the character of the present offered one ? Is there any

      proof that it presses with equal severity upon the profits of the master , as it does ou the wages of the workmen ? Is it not just possible , that the whole loss is thrown upon those feast able to bear it ? The probable amount of reduction from the profit of the employer has been stated b y one who ought to be well acquainted with the facts , at five per cent . ; and under the circumstances in which this fact v ? as given , there is no possible doubt that the hig hest figure was named . If this is the slate of the case , although we are averse to the system of strikes , we should indeed be sorry to find that the disorganised position of the South Staffordshire operatives should compel them to succumb to such an enormous injustice .

      If vhe lords of the cotton districts are , in their threatened reduction , apparently less exacting ,. it is because their unbounded avarice—so long , so perseveringly , and by such ingenious modes so constantly practised—has left a much narrower field for their operation * . The ten hours bill is the terrible ogre against which this move is directed , for no other conceivable cause can be seen to account for their surprising unanimity . The honourable member for Manchester , when so gallantly leading the forlorn hope against Mr Fielden ' s bill , protested he was alone influenced by considerations for the poor factory operative ; as the only tendency of this bill would be

      to depriv e them of one-sixth of their present scanty wages—forgetting at the time that whPn he was fighting under the shadow of the great Cobden , in his successful struggle against the corn monopoly , that his best , strongest , and constantly repeated argument was , ' If you want to make a thing dear , make it scarce . ' If this argument , a 3 against the Corn Lords was sound , and we believe it was ; it is equally sound and true as against the Cotton Lords . We say to the cotton workers , if you want to make your labour dear , —( that is if you wish to enhance your wages , ) make it scarce . We believe in the truth of this axiom—and we believe that this redaction is levelled at the Ten Hours' Bill—and we

      further believe that your wages must rise with that bill in operation ; if not immediately , certainly at no very remote period . But there is one contingency which will most materially affect the time , shortening or protracting the period when you may be in a condition to reap the benefits of that glorious measure for which you struggled so nobly—so faithfully ; and that contingency is , whether you are prepared to take the only steps which cau place you in a position , when the proper time arrives , to claim wliat you are justly entitled to-a fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work . Were you united , as you ought and might be , this reduction had never been offered—were you united , as you

      ought and might be , this reduction , if now obtained , would very soon and very easily fee recovered . If , on some fine , bright May morning , the factory operatives of all Lancashire were simultaneously—man , woman , and child—to respectfully solicit their employers to restore to them what they now are taking from them—nay , if they were to point out the inconvenience and injustice , that wajes in Ashton should ba fifteenper cent , hi gher than in Blackburnthat Stockport again was not paid so much as Manchester , and tbat proud Preston was humble enough

      to be contented , with less than any other place in Lancashire—if they were to point out these discrepancies , and to submit a standard list for spinning , weaving , and all the other operations carried on in the manufactories , pointing out the benefits which would follow to themselves , by all paying the same amount for their labour , and thus going into the same market upon equal terms , your masters could not find it in their hearts to refuse a request so reasonable , so just , and so very much for their own convenience ; particularly , when ' such request was conveved to them in the name of one united

      hardworking population , who were determined to have it . The manufactures of cotton , or of iron , or of any other commodity , have the riglit , and they exercise it , of fixing the price at which they sell their commodity ; governed and influenced only by those circumstances which their experience teaches them must not be overlooked in their calculations ; and this right they are able to act upon by the power and spirit of union . The same right pertains to the possessors of labour ; but they , 7 rotti their ignorance of , or indifference to , this valuable principle , are robbed of their right , and place themselves at the mercy of those who buy their labour . Working tnen , be wise in

      time . Waste not your energies in these partial and ill-organised conflicts . You , surely . Jhave tried them often enough to be convinced of their absolute inability to effect any real or permanent benefit to you . To fight the battle of labour against the undue encroachments of capital , requires not so much money as unity of purpose and action . You may raise , as you have done before , your thousands of pounds , and spend them in profitless strikes . But , form yourselves , as you never have yet done , iuto a mighty defensive league for the protection of your just rights , and you will then be in a condition to decide upon what terms , you will sell to any man your property—your labour .

      The Central Committee have met as usual during the week . The correspondence has been unusually heavy from all parts of the country , and of mere than an average g loomy character . There never perhaps have been , at any former period , such universal complaints from all quarters of prolonged and , in many cases , increasing distress . But still a most excellent feeling is manifested towards the Association , with deep expression of regret of inability

      to keep up their payments to the Association , and bespeaking the lenity of the Central Committee , so far as to free them from the penalties awarded b y the laws for non-payment , according to their provisions . It is painful to the Committee to be compelled to refuse such applications , but they have no such power vested in them , and the operations of this Association cannot be carried on unless the payments , small as they are in amount , are sent up punctually to the office .

      Merthvr Tydvil . —On Monday , January 31 st , Mr Humphries waited upon Messrs Jones and Williams , nailmakers , in Merthyr Tydvill , Soutii Wales , on a case of reduction offered to the men , amounting to ten or twelve per cent . The men had been working one week under protest , to afford the Central Committee full time for sending an a ^ o . it to adjust the dispute by means of mediation . Accord , ingly , Mr Humphries was appointed to wait upon the above named gentlemen , who complained of the English nail masters underselling t ' . iem in the

      market , and to compete with them they were compelled to reduce wages . Mr Humphries argued , that such a plea was untenable , inasmuch as no other masters in Merthyr had made such an attempt , and denounced the present reduction as uncalled for as unjust , The only terms that could be come to on the occasion were , that thereduetirn on one sort should be withdrawn , and that as soon as trade revived they would withdraw it on the other class of nails . These terms were unanimously rejected , and as two gentlemen had kindly offered

      Untitled Article

      the gratuitous use of a sufficient number of blocks and bellows , they agreed to commence working for the Association . This decision Mr Humphries reported to the masters , who promised to reconsider the matter , and g ive Mr Humphries an answer on Tuesday morning . He accordingly waited upon Mr Jones , who desired the men to come to work , and that nothing further should be heard of the reduction , and no more trouble given to the Association on his account . Mr Williams has agreed to give up the trade altogether ; but as three men are all he employs , there will be little difficulty in the men even bettering their condition . Both of the employers treated Mr Humphries in the most respectful and gentlemanly manner , and we congratulate Ms Jones on the wise and prudent policy he has adopted in this unpleasant dispute . * ^_ - _ £ XT _ . - - — L m ¦ ^ b ¦ I h A ri rf * C 1 > I ¦« « % I m ¦

      To the men of Merthyr Tydvil we would say , he firm to the union , and determine , like men , to " unite in one common bond of biotherhood , for mutual protection and assistance . Rally the trades in that great mining district to a sense of duty , and to a practical and successful co-operation with your English , Scottish , and Irish brethren , for the redemption of labour , and the attainment of a ' fair day's wage for a fair day ' s work . ' On Monday and Tuesday evenings , the 31 st of Jauuary and 1 st of February , Mr Humphries addressed two well attended meetings at Merthyr Tydvil , on the principles and objects of the National

      Association . The members of the National Land Company kindly lent the use of their room for that purpose . Mr David Morgan was called to the Chair , who addressed the meetings in Welch . Before and after the addresses an excellent spirit was created , and at the close of the lecture , three cheers to our honourable president , and Mr Feargus O'Connor , were proposed and carried by acclamation-Many appear determined to use their influence with their respective trades to induce them to join thi 3 great movement . Success to their operations , and may a strong body soon be formed in Merthyr Tydvil .

      Mr Shackleton attended a meeting of the operatives of Ripponden , in the Working Man ' s Institute , on the 27 th ult . to explain the objects of the United Trades' Association for the protection of industry , and the employment of labour . Mr Shackleton produced specimens of the goods manufactured by the persons under the protection of the Association . He also attended meetings at Cragvale , Huddersfield , &c . Votes of thanks were passed to Mr Shackleton , and to the worthy president , T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M .

      Nkvtabt Hill , —A general meeting wa 3 held ia the school room , which was addressed by Mr Claughan ; a fine spirit of confidence was manifested , and the brave men of Holy town appear fast recovering from the effects of their late struggle , and are fully determined , by perfecting their organisa tion , to place themselves in a better position to resist any future aggressions . Mr Taylor , of Holytown , has reported most cheeringly of his exertions in the county of Lanark , and expressing the gratitude of the Miners to the Masons' Society for their princely gift . of £ 100 to the subscription got up by the Central Committee

      in their behalf . Altogether the prospects are of a very cheering description in this part of Scotland . Blackburn , —Mr Williamson attended two im portant meetings during the ' last week , at ibis greit seat of cotton manufacture ; one composed of card room operatives , the other a general committee meeting . Serious reductions of wages have been offered at this and other towns in Lancashire , which formed a fit subject for discourse , and which were dilated upon with much force and energy by Mr Williamson , in long and powerful addresses , highly satisfactory to the hearers under the ciriumstances ; they being , at the moment , under the threat of ten per cent , reduction in their wages .

Two of the ' reductionists' are Wesleyan preachers , and another is a sanctimonious elder ! A . pretty set of rascals to preach Christianity .

      HOOD . TO THE IDITOB OF THE UORTOIBN STAB . Respected Sir—In the repsrt of the discuBsioa between Messrs Berry and Lennegan in last Saturday ' s Star , Mr Lennegun U represented as having stated that ( he lecturing department of the Miners * Associatisn cost upwards of JE 180 from September 6 th to the latter end of October . This statement is utterly without foundation , and I am surprised that Mr Lennegan should have so far forgot what is due to his own character , as a public man , thus wilfully to promulgate a . direct falsehood . I remain , yours respectfully , William Grocott , General Secretary of the Miners' Association . In Bristol and sev ral other places , some of tha public olockg are provided with two minute-handa , for the purpose of distinguishing tho local fiom tbe railway er London time . \

I ara , Sir , Your obedient servant , W . B . Febband . Mr Thomas Clark .
