SiB -The committee of the Bolton Land and W ^***** * ^ spectfuUy request ^ to meert the following concerning the letter of Mr . 2 JS ? " ^« corre ^ ondent , quoted in your last mek 9 paper :- " That they inVited Mr . Cooper to lectrarein Bolton ; that they retired to the Temperance Hotel with that gentleman , and joined in the conversation which was so meanly and unfairly rendered the snbjecfc of public attention ; that Mr . Cooper did not say that he was not in favour ot the Land Plan , and did not beliere Mr . O'Connor to be sincere in carrying it out ; that Mr . Cooper ' s conversation was such as to win the approbation of all parties , rather than to cast discredit upon Mr O Connor or any other man . Our committee do not know either the name or character of Mr 0 Vwsm s correspondent , but would register their belief that he was npt present at the conversation lie so maliciously misrepresents .

Uewcasile-cpox-Tysb . — At the usual quarterly meeting of the members of the Land Company , held at the Malt Shovel , Xorth Church Side , the following officers were re-elected to their respective offices for the ensuing quarter ;—H . Lavericfc , treasurer ; W . Brankling , scrutineer ; G . Barnett , secretary . Meetings are held at the above place every Monday evening , at half-past seven o ' clock . CHABTERniiE . —Thanks to tha exertions of Mrs . Hill and Mss Price , on Easter Monday , the allottees of Charterville were furnished with a festival that did honour alike to the getters-up and the partakers . The schoolrooms were decorated -with portraits of O'Connor , Emmett , Buncombe , and other patriots , and most tastefully ornamented with evergreens , flowers , &c . Upwards of one hundred of the allottees , and a party from Swindon , and another from Oxford , notwithstanding the
tinpropitious state of the weather , were present . The festival consisted of tea , concert , and ball . Shortly after five o ' clock tea was served up in excellent style . After tea Mr . Churchwarden Bubb was called to the chair , supported on his right hy the Bev . P . \ f . Bryan , and on his left by Mr . Surveyor Gimblett .. The . Chairman gave the first sentiment : ' The people ; maythey soon obtain that power which constitutes their sovereignty , and obtain that wisdom which shall be the sure guide to social happiness ; " and said , those sentiments were peculiarly his own , and he should begrudge no tune or labour to see them speedily and effectively carried into practice . ( Loud cheers . J- ^ -Mr . John Gathard , in supporting the sentiment , said : The Northern Star , by the refulgence of its rays , had reflected a strong light on this subject , and had caused the people to think well on thexnagic word " co-operation , " which had led to the establishment of the ^ National Lain
Company , ana the establishment of Charterville , which he thought was the most practical and efficient mode of obtaining their inherent right , " the sovereignty of the people . " ( Cheers . ) From the earliest moment that he had understood the application of the word politics , he had lost no time or opportunity of inculcating "the sovereignty of the people . "—Mr . Stallwood gave the next sentiment : " Charterville ; the foundation of which we this day meettocelebrate ; may its founders , theDirectors , and members of the Rational Land Company , be guided by such wisdom and judgment as shall ensure the enrolment of the afiottees on the electoral roll of the nation , and place all the members of the Company speedily on the land . " He said , twelve mouths had expired since they took possession of
Minster Lovcl Estate , and established Charterville . It had been prophecied , that when the Chartists came there would be nothing but anarchy and confusion . However , the Chartists had come , but Charterville , instead of anarchy and confusion , had proved the most moral , quiet , and orderly portion of the parish of Minster hovel . What . better proof could they have of this , tban that they had the countenance and support of the curate of the parish , who had honoured them with his presence on this occasion ? ( Loud cheers . ) True , the allottees had had difficulties to contend with—they had the failure of the potato crop , and a partial failure of the wheat crop ; however , they "were not dispirited , for their spirits were high , their hopes great , and ikeir confidence in the capabilities of the soil , as
regarded their small farms , was unabated —( loud cheers)—as the labour bestowed in ve-cropping their land would fully show . As regards the other portion of the sentiment , it was strictly in accor-< iance with ardent Chartism—that they should desire to be on the electoral roll of the nation , so that those who could should have the opportunity of attending county meetings , and put forth the advantages arising from Home Colonisation—and here parmit him to congratulate the Trades of London in having taken up the principles of Universal Suffrage and Home Colonisation , which spirited step , he trusted , would soon be followed by all the Trades « f the provinces , and he thought true philanthropy would say , as you are on the land yourself , lend jour aid to assist your brethren to like advantages .
( Ixmd cheers . )—The Bev . P . TV . Bryan rose an < said : He was sure that no one who duly appreciated the spirit of Christianity , which told us to love our neighbours as ourselves , and to do as -we would be -done by , but must wish success to the plan that had . g iven birth to Chartmille , the cause of to-day's meetings . ( Loud cheers . ) He felt hound to express the pleasure he had in attending their meeting , as well as his gratitude for the great courtesy ¦ wit h which they had treated him since he came to reside in their parish ; and he would conclude by -wishing success to them in the cultivation of their land , , and the most heartfelt aspirations for their eternal welfare . ( Loud cheers . )—ilr . . Gilbert rose to sixe the third sentiment , as follows— " The People s Charter ; may it speedily become the law of the
land "—and said he did not think any great change could take place except through the medium of the People ' s Charter . ( Hear , Hear . ) He knew that . some said the working classes were not fitted to exercise the franchise , but he wished to know what could be said for those who at present made the laws ? And it was his firm conviction that nothing short of legislation by the whole people , could ever lead to peace , contentment , and social happiness for the whole . ( Loud cheers . )—Mr . Horn proposed the fourth sentiment , as follows : — " Our fair friends , Mrs . Hill and Miss Price , who have got up this meeting with so much credit to themselves , and which is so well calculated to conduce io our
comfort , instruction , and amusement . " Mr . Horn paid a . high compliment to the fair sex , which was highly applauded . The next sentiment was—'' Our friends from a distance , who have honoured our festival by their presence . " The last sentiment was—* 'Health and happiness to our chairman , and to the Rev . 1 * . "W . Bryan , who has done us the honour of accepting our invitation . "—The chairman and rev . gentleman responded . The room was then cleared for the ball and concert , and a most delightful evening ' s nmusement was spent in alternate dance and song , and the party broke up at early morn , highly delighted with the recreation afforded by the CnarterviUe Easter festivities .

CHARTERVILLE . IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS . In our last we announced that an amicable arxangoment had taken place between the allottees and the great farmers and other parishioners of Minster iovel , as regards the apointment of overseers ; but when the Rev . Percival Svilmot Bryan , the curate of the parish , who had officiated a 3 chairman of the vestry , attended , accompanied by James Eeattie , with the list agreed on by the vestry , duly signed by the chairman , and presented such list to Frederick "Whittaker and Leonard Pickering , Esqs ., two of her Majesty ' s justices of the peace , at the Town-hall , Witney , on Thursday , April 5 th , the justices most unwarrantably struck off the uamca of Messrs . Beattie , Gathard , and Pickers
gill , leaving that of James Clinch , and adding thereto that of "William Hudson , the latter having been rejected at the vestry , and all this apparently en representations ma . de by Mr . James Clinch . The result of this proceeding was , that a meeting was called of the residents of Charterville , and others , on Friday , the 6 th of April , and the following persons were appointed a sub-committee , to draw up a memorial to Sir George Grey , Bart . M . P ., Secretary of State ' . for the Home Department , complaining of the wrong done , and demanding redress . The snb-committee consisted of Hessrs . Stallwood , Gimblett , Grimshaw ,
Pickersgu } , and Young . On Easter Monday , a vestry meeting was C 0 HTened in the parish church for the purpose of " electing churchwardens , and transacting other business connected with the parish . " The Bev . P . TF . Bbtas having taken the chair , the retiring churchwarden , Mr . Butler , presented Ms accounts , and after a few words from JAr . stallwood , relative to items for killing sparrows , they were passed . Mr . Stallwood then moved , — " That it be an instruction to the churchwardens that , henceforth , no moncv shall be allowed out of the church rates for killing sparrows . "
The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously . The Iler . P . W . Bryan having nominated Mr John Gillet as his warden , Mr . Stmxvtooo rose and moved Mr . George Bubb , of Brizcnorton-road , as people's warden . Mr . Gilbert seconded the motion . Ifr . Tidjubsh proposed , " That Mr . Butler the miring warden be re-elected , " which was seconded h Mr . Hudson . The question having been put to

— no poll being demanded—a very large majority appearing for Mr . George Bubb , the chairman delared the election to have fallen on that gen-. Mi * . Stallwood again rose and said that he had now a very important matter to bring befere them ; they would remember that at the last vestry mteting . it was resolved , that the names of James Clinch , James Beattie , John Gathard , and Thomas Pickersgiu , should be submitted to the two magistrates for them to select two from as overseers ; but , contrary to all Law , custom , and immemorial usage , the magistrates had departed from this course , retaining the name of James Clinch , and adding thereto the name of "William Hudson , who had been rejected by the vestry . He had thought the residents of Charteryille had acted with the greatest moderation , seeing that they constituted the great majority of parishioners and ratepayers , in accepting Mr . Clinch , and only proposing one overseer on their parts ; but , unfortunately , the four or five persons
who had opposed them had not the good sense to appreciate this act of moderation , and had , in violation of the British constitution , and iu opposition to all law , in conjunction with the magistrates , placed in office Mr . William Hudson . He did not think much of the morality , honour , and justice of that man who could and would hold office in opposition to the wish and will of such a largo majority of his fellow-parishioners . ( Loud cheers , ) Such a person must and would be held in . execration by every good man . ( Renewed cheers . ) Talk of tyranny and despotism in Siberia' why here they had the tyrant of the mill . ( Loud cheers . ) He repeated , did Mr . Hudson possess one spark of morality , one iota of honour , or scintilla of justice in his whole composition , he would at once rise and resign the office h ' now presumed to hold against the wish of his fellowparishioners , and in violation of all law , honour , justice , and morality . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Hudson . —I do not wish to hold the office .
Mr . Gilleti to Mr . Hudson . —I would not let things stand as they are . Mr . Stallwooo . —But what had Mr . Clinch said to induce "her Majesty ' s Justices of the Peace " to violate the law and constitution , and pe / form acts so well calculated to cause a breach of the peace ? v 7 hy he had gone " out of his way to abuse and make false statements relative to that portion of his fellow parishioners who resided at Charterville . Had he not stated that they were " mere birds of passage , " " men without fixed residence , " " characters who were not fit to be entrusted with some one Or two hundred pounds of parish money . " He asked . how dare any person so far libel any portion of his fellow men ? Was there not more property on that portion of the parish in
¦ w hich they resided , . than amounted to , not hundreds , but over thousands ? ( Here a person in tho body of the meeting handed Mr . Stallwood a paper , setting forth that Mr . James Clinch had himself entered Witney a poor stay-maker . ) In allusion to which , Mr . Stallwood said : Well , if Mr ,. Clinch worked himself up from a poor staymaker , to his present position of woolstapler and farmer , by his own industry , that certainly redounded to his credit —( loud cheers )—but it should also have acted as a preventive , and restrained him from so grossly libelling those honest operatives , who were now struggling in a somewhat similar position to that he once occupied ; and Mr . Clinch should also remember , that unless some one tilled the ground , and tended the sheep , there could be neither
woolstaplers nor large farmers . ( Loud cheers . ) And that those men of whom he had spoken so disrespectfully , were men who earned what they eat , and did not , like some persons , lire on the labour of others ; but the occupants of " Charterville" were said to be " birds of passage , " " men without fixed residence . " Why , had not he ( Mr . Stall wood ) occupied the cottage in which , he resided from the very moment it was built , and had he not been the occupant of his other residence , at Hammersmith-road , for many y ^ ars past ? Besides , they attended this vestry in their quality of ratepayers , and being rate-payers , the law of the land thereby constituted them naroehial electors . Bui . notwithstanding , the infill pal uvuitU cicv Mil a . iJut Jji » i"r . ifcuav < tuuil ( i » ! vile
men whom they , the legal electors had chosen , were most unceremoniously rejected by " her Majesty ' s justices of the peace . " ( Hear , hear . ) What could be alleged against eitner Messrs . Beattie , Gathard , or Pickersgill , that should cause them to be so treated ? Each and all of those men had been residents of their cottages since they had been erected , and had paid then rates . If those gentlemen wished to exercise all the parish power , why did they not pay all the rates ? ( Cheers . ) But , if they called upon them to pay , surely it was only right that they ( the residents at Gharterville ) snould have some legitimate control over the rates so collected . ( Loud cheers . ) And , if they went to Glasgow , they would find that James Beattie had a settled
residence previous tO his coming here , and that he was held in respect by his fellow-citizens whom he had left . They sometimes boasted of their heroes . Now , Sir . Beattie was a man who had fought and bled for his country , and whose laurels had been acknowledged by the government . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not know how high the intellects of those gentlemen ivere who had hitherto took upon themselves the trouble of governing the parish , but ho could assure them that for a length of time Mr . Beatfcie ' s industry had enabled him to get a good living by furnishing people with good understandings . ( Laughter and applause . ) Mr . John Gathard was equally well known , trusted , and respected in the parish of Bermondsey . And , as regards Mr . Thomas Pickersgill , they had only to go to Lambeth to learn that he was a man of unimpeachable character , who had been trusted with hundreds and thousands of
pounds worth of property , and whose ingenuity had placed himinthepositionofbeingoneofthe constructors and builders Of the splendid new Palace of Westminster—the new Houses of Parliament . Well , since they had been residents at Charterville , who could truly say one word against them ? They were sober , honest men—men whose pride it was that they earned what they cat , and owed no man anything —( cheers)—and men whose industry and perseverance were undoubted , as the condition of ilieir little farms would and did abundantly testify . ( Great
cheering . ) He thought he had vindicated them , ( the allottees ) and their candidates from the foul aspersions cast upon them , and showed that they were in every way qualified for the office to which the late vestry had called them , as it could not be supposed that they could or would submit to be treated in the way they had been by a small minority of parishioners , and the "justices of the peace , " who had violated the law . He snould conclude by moving that the following memorial be , on behalf of that vestry , sent to her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department : — TO THE WCHT HONOURABLE SIB CEOBCE CBET , BART ., M . P ., HER JIAJESTV ' S SECUETJffiY OF STATE FOB THE HOME DEPABT
MENT . The Memorial of the parishioners and ratepayers of the parish ot Minster Lord , in tne county of Oxford , Shewbtu , That the parishieners of Jlinster lorel , assembled in vestry meeting , duly convened in the parish church , on Friday , March soth , 1849 . That at such meeting the Rev . Pererral IVilmot Bryan , curate of the parish , was called to the chair . The election of overseers was then proceeded with . Messrs . James Clinch , James Beattie , John Gathard , Thomas Pickersgill , William Hudson , Thomas Tidmarsh , and John Gillett , were dulv proposed and seconded , when the chairman decided that the majority ( the majority heing as ten to one ) was in favour of James Clinch , James Beattie , John Gathard , and Thomas Pickersg ill . That no poll was demanded .
That the list of ihe abore mentioned individuals , viz ,, James Clinch , James Beattie , John Sathard , and Thomas Pickersgill , was then duly signed by the Chairman . That on Thursday , the 5 th day of April , 18 i !> , the Her . Percival wiltnot Bryan , as chairman of said vestry meeting , accompanied by Jir . James Beattie , attended and laid the said list , containing the names of James Clinch , James Heattie , John Gathard , and Thomas Pickersgill , before two of Her Majesty ' s Justices of the Peace , viz ., Frederick Wliittaker and Leonard Pickering , Esquires , in the Town Hall , at Witney , in the s ^ id county of Oxford . That the said Justices o £ the Peace refused the said list of persons , all of whom -nrer&and are duly qualified , to fill the office of overseer , according to the act of parliament iu that case made and prouded , and as your memorialists believe and alleze , contrary to all law and precedent ,
proceeded to strike from the list the names ot those persons , with the exception of James Clinch , who were duly elected in public vestry , and placed thereon the name of William Hudson , who was rejected by the said vestry . Your memorialists therefore appeal io you , as Her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , to redress this grievous wrong , by causing the illegal decision of the said Justices of the Peace , so far as regards the name of William Hudson , to be reversed , by causing the erasure of the name of the said William Hudson and substituting the name of one of those persons chosen by the vestry , viz ., James Beattie , John Gathard , and Thomas Pickersg ill , and thus restore that peace and harmony amongst the parishioners of Minster Lovel , which undtr' wise and wtlladministered laws must always characterise the British people .
And your Memorialists will be for ever grateful . cn . ! ea , ding of thft memorial was greeted with great applause . ° Mr . T . Gilbebt seconded the motion , upon which ? « £° f t Gl ? MI "owd " That the overseers at present standing bo the overseen for the year ensuing . The Chairmas having apprised him that that was no amendment on tie proposition before them , Mr . GiiXEii moved , "That tho memorial did not express the sentiments of tho vestry , " which vas seconded by ilr . ii » uARsn .

The question was then put to the vote , and the original motion was carried by a great majority . The memorial was then ordered to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the vestry , and at once transmitted to Sir George Grey . . On the motion of Messrs . Gathard and Khioht , it was resolved , " Tliat no raw ho collected until such time as the late Minster Lovel Estate , « o \ r Charterville , shall be revalued and duly assessed . " The marked thanks of the vestry was then awarded to the Rev . P . "W . Bryan for his impartial conduct in the chair , and the vestry was dissolved .

Gorgie Mills . —The Chartists of this place having seen with deep regret in the Star of Saturday , March 31 , Mr . O'Connor ' s announcement that he will resign being leader of the Chartist body if but a few Chartists should send him a request to do so , a meeting was convened to take into consideration the above announcement . Alexander M'Donald was ealled to the chair , when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Moved by Peter M'Neil , and seconded by James Soiuerville , " That the proceedings of this meeting be sent to the Northern Star for insertion . " — Moved by James Chalmers , and seconded by William Somervllle , " That the Chartists of this district have full confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and sincerely
request that he will continue as our leader , and that we highly value his long and consistent services ia our cause , and that G . Julian Harriey has also our confidence as a good Chartist , and we wish his writings may be continued in the Northern Star as formerly . "—Moved by William Mechan , and seconded by John Lemmon , " That a public meeting be got up on an early day for the purpose of adopting the National Petition for the enactment of tho People ' s Charter . "—JAMES Ciialmers , Secretary . [ Received too late for insertion in last Saturday's Star . ] Newcastle-on-Tyne . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartist body , held at the house of Mr . H . Hancocks , 21 , Bishop-lane , on Sunday evening , April 1 st , a letter was read from our much-respected friend of liberty , John "West , stating , the condition of himself and fellow-sufferers in Kirkdale prison .
and imploring assistance , to soften their sufferings . The sum of 2 s . 3 d . was handed to the committee as profit on Stars , by Mr . Barnett ; and we hope that other localities will follow our example . [ This was accidentally omitted in our last number . ] CAUTION . — The wandering window-breaker , Thomason , who some months ago was set to dance the treadmill-polka , for wilfully and maliciously smashing the windows of the Metropolitan Office of the National Land Company , is , we understand , at present in Manchester , where he is trying to " do the natives" by writing private letters , containing most fabulous stories of his services and sufferings in the Chartist cause , tho debts due to him by persons who never owed him a farthing , and , above all , tho wrongs inflicted upon him by the Northern Star . Hero is his bill against the Chartists * . —

He might just as well have brought in his little bill for £ 7 , 366 , there would have been as much truth in such a demand as there is in the above ; and then the larger sum would have looked so much more respectable 5 We beg to say that Julian Horney does not owe Thomason four farthings , and never had one farthing of that worthy's money . We know that the item placed to tho account of services in Holberry ' s behalf is equally fabulous ; and we have reason to believe that the entire " bill" is of the same character . We caution our friends to be aware of the artful dod ger .

MANCHESTER VICTIM COMMITTEE OR TilE 1 SUPPORT OF THE KIRKDALE PRISONERS . " Facts are chiels that winna ding And downa be disputed . " FELLOW CoCNT&YMBN , —There exists that in the souls of all men which no amount of tyranny , proscription , or human suffering cm extinguish—and that is the ardent love of liberty ! What , however , the enemies of eternal truth and progress fail to ac » complish is too often the act of friends , whose cold indifference and ingratitude crushes and sear the heart more than all the terrors of tyrannies ! For defending the great rights of our common humanity and giving expression to those claim * , which are our common inheritance , your advocates are seized , tried , and sentenced ! For them we appeal ! Yon who have worshipped theirprinciplesyou who have claimed common faith with their
avowal—you who in the hour of confidence elected them , and whioh they from the same feeling accepted—you , we say , roust not let them want!—must not let ingratitude add fo their sufferings . ' Manchester has nobly done its duty-her means are well nigh exhausted , and without support , and speedy support from the friends of political progress throughout the country , the committee here , will have to deplore their utter inability to continue further assistance to the martyrs of a great principle ! This is a sad confession—but it is a true one —and we Jfeel that we should not be doing our duty , 1 lol& 9 S Wftlet the country know our true position . Asa proof that our friends in Manchester have done their duty well and truly , we feel pleasure in stating that more than £ . 38 have beon collected by us here , while from all other parts of the country the whole sum collected falls short of £ 10 . We know the pecuniary difficulties of our order , but surely this can never be urged as a reason why we should neglect our duty .
No . Tiie great laws of fraternal justice must never be violated in such a way . Desertion like this would prove an offer too tempting for the enemies of human progress to pass idly by ; and the newspaper gang would but be too proud to chronicle such , infamy . No such at ' igmsL must sully our principles . And through all difficulties it has been our boast that the tainted breath of calumny could n'yer vent this against us . We have ever had the credit of supporting the victims of Whig tyranny , and shall we have so now ? The Whig principle of '' Crush them with Expenses , " shall never—despite of oppression —crouch over cur honest advocates ) and gloat over their fell 1 The flickering lamp of truth , that flashes even now before your vision , seenia to have ushered in the " beginning of tbe end . " Taught in liope , instilled strength givea us union and teaches U * that an honest statement—fairly made—will meet the approbation of all true men ; and on such we , the committee , rely with . confidence , knowing well that
"He who made the welfare of mankind his care , Though still by faction , vice , and fortune crost , Shall find the gen ' rous labour was not lost . " rellovf-Gountrjmen , —You love the truth , and you have it . We address you from the heart , as men speaking with men ; we ask—emphatically ask—the assistance of eviry honest man , and for others we care not . The b : nevolence of such men we know too well to doubt , when once a manly and candid app : alis made to their love of justice . Oh ! fellowcountrymen , the little musician , as it soars aloft before high Heaven , warbling its matin song free and unshackled , feels no higher hope—no greater triumph — than he who has burst the bends ot ignorance , and hails the blazing light as the harbinger of freedom
to Lls countrymen ; goes forth to teach them—to re « anaken them—and restartie them to a knowledge of all men ' s inheritance ! For men like these we plead . For men who are are incarcerated for endeavouring to establish such principles we claim assistance . On such grounds we rest our appeal . We await jour decision , in full hope that the generosity of an honourable body of men will not bo appealed to in vain . Signed on behalf of the Victim Committee , Thomas Mather , Charman .

I most solenwly declare that I never had any correspondence with the police or government officials , directly or indirectly , or have known anything of the vilt } Adu of Davies and his fellow miscreants , or had the least suspicion of Jiim till the night I was subpoenaed by Mr .

NATIONAL ORGANISATION OF IBAPES . A 75 DRESS OF THE " LOKDOJf TRADES' DE-; SJ 0 TUB TRADES OF GREAT BRITAIN AM > IR-ELAND . " There was a time , ere England ' s ills began , ^ nen every rood of ground maintained its man . " Feixov-Mbk , —Since wo last addressed you , stating what appeared to us to have led to the distressed condition of great numbers of the working classes of this country , and setting forth eight fundamental principles as tho
rtmedy for the evils of which we so justly complain , vie liavo the pleasure to aunounce to you , that we have made the most satisfactoryprogress iu organising and bringing to a perfect imderstaadijinrthe most important Trades ' Societies in London , and concentrating their energies in a permanent Central Trades' Delelegate Meeting ; vre now call upon the Trades of the provinces to lose no time in seconding our efforts to bring before the Legislature the necessary remedial measures to relieve the immediate wants of the working classes , by assisting them to secure useful employment , and
also to press upon the attention of Parliament the necessity of adopting the principles embodied in the constitution of our Association , for the ' Industrial , Social , and Political Emancipation of Labour . We therefore beg to suggest to yoy what appears to us to bo tho most easy , practical , and efficient mode of co-operating with the Trades of London . We advifee the Trades iu all provincial towns to convene a delegate meeting of representatives from their different societies , and in the meantime to communicate with our secretary in London , who is instructed to transmit copies of our laws ,
together with the principles upon which we propose a great National \ hiu » i should \> o funned , ( such laws or principles to ' be amended , or . revised , if that sh . < Md * o found necessary ) , ; and as the questions ^ Of employment , wages , and the suflrage appear to us to demand the immediate attention of tho working chisses , as well as the Parliament , we also recommend that tho Trades' delegates in every town should act as we have already done in London , and convene a public meeting of the Trades , at which
resolutions should be passed , and one uniform mode of petitioning he adopted ; such petition to be sent to the Member representing the borough or county in which such meeting may beheld , for presentation to the House of Commons , with a request that he will support the prayer of the petition , for tho introduction of a Bill into Parliament sanctioning the establishment of Home Colonies , as tho best means of providing employment for those who are compelled to go idle , and guftur all its direful
consequences . We further propose , that those public meetings should bo followed up by general meetings of each trade scctionally , and that similar resolutions and petitions be adopted at each meeting : also that all Trudo Societies should adopfc the same petitions , and that all miscellaneous or other societies which now exist , or may hereafter be formed , should act in a similar manner . In short , that all legal agencies that can be employed to concentrate and properly direct the intelligence and the energies of the Trades and working classes generally ,
should be put m active operation to gather up their moral power , and cause it to reverberate upon the parliament , to accomplish tho industrial , social , and political emancipation oi' labour , as propounded in our eight fundamental principles . Such , fellow-men , are the steps that are now being taken by your brethren the Trades of London . Surely , you will not allow the onerous duty of accomplishing this groat i > ork to devolve on us alone . ' Wo confidently expect ti universal response from the
Trades of the provinces . Let those suicidal words no longer be heard from the Jips of an operative or- Trades' Unionist , that " we musfi not meddle with politics . " All classes of workmen need only look around them , and they will everywhere behold that politics have created a hitherto impassable gulf between themselves and the wealth they produce ; whilst the prodigious mechanical , and other scientific inventions emanating from their own genius , have been turned against them to diminish the demand for their labour and tho vji gca thej
. We behold in union alone tho lover by which labour must be extricated i ' rom its present depressed state . Wo are desirous that our organisation shall be an union or ' minds more than unnecessary accumulation of money ; and we believe a great national union would be most efficient and satisfactory by every town having a complete control over its own funds
and local affairs , excepting so fin- as aid may be required for general purposes . We have reason to believe that if this all-important question of providing a more extended field of employment be brought properly before the House of Commons , that some concessions will be made . We have been in communication , with influential Members of Parliament , of different political parties , who all agree that something must be done . "
In conclusion , we entreat you to bring this great movement , at once within your Trades ' Unions , as being tho only moans by which the ill-understood phrase of " a fair day's wage for a fair day ' s work" can be truly realised , and in the accomplishment of which you may rel y on the energy and devotion of the London Trades' Delegates . Signed on their behalf , William Hammett , President . A . E . Delai'OKCU , Secretary . All communications addressed to the secretary , at the Craven ' s Head , Drury-lauo , London , will be immediately attended to .

MR . KYDD'S TOUR . On Sunday , the first of April , I lectured at Keighley , in Yorkshire , and at the same place on Wednesday , on home and foreign politics ; on Monday and Tuesday , at Haworth and Wilsden ; and at Crossbills on . Thursday—the chapel of a body of Methodists being kindly granted for such purpose , ibis being the second time that I have had to thank the managers for their liberality . On the whole , these meetings bare been well attended , but they have presented no feature to my mind calling for special notice .
I observe , with deep regret , that the large moor lying between Keighley and Milsden is being enclosed , and , as usual , the landowners are having it parcelled cut among themselves . A certain . magistrate who has palmed himself off as the poor man ' s friend , is reported to have taken a large share of the spoil . If the government be asked to provide a remedy for pauperism , Oh , no , ' they reply ; ' we cannot find employment for tbe idle . To do so would be to establish communism , and Joseph Hume , E-. q ., would declare we were smitten with Louis Blancisra : national workshops , and ruin would soon follow . ' Most sage senators , you can parcel out the common lands among the rich , which they turn into game preserves , or let out as favma , thus taking from the poor and adding to the incomes of the rich . There can be no mistake in this case . There is a moor six miles in length , and nearly one iu
breadth ; would it not be as easy to appropriate that land for national purposes , and employ the unemployed poor , as to add it to the estates of tbe wealthy land-owners ? Why do not the ratepayers see to this question of appropriating the waste lands as a relief from poor rates ? It is admitted on all hands , that labour gives the only legitimate title to the first possessor . The landowners have neither dug nor sown on such moors as Harden or Hawortn ; and I want to know what claim they can have to possession , except it be on the principle tbat , ' Laws grind the poor , and ricb men make the laws ? 1 promise to write more on this subject some coming day . There is evidently no relief for the people , and no chance of safety for the middle classes , except in a cultivation of tbe land , and a general employment of the now unemployed and therefore dependant poor . to
I have this day visited a stone quarry near Haworth , a small village in Yorkshire . There is nothing lematkable to a deep icctsa ot sUme—a mere digging in the bowels of the earth—to call forth the remarks of a bystander , but we think by c n trast , and having just come from thatWaze of VigW . in darkness , and fog at noon-day—the city of London—I was unaccountably led to ruminate on what I saw and had seen . In Oxford-street , a week ago , I observed hale and hearty young men , with smooth faces and soft hands , dressed in decent sable , their necks ornamented with white handkerchiefs , and a mathematical share of starched linen turned over as it intended for special notice , hair oil and scented soap being plentifully supplied . These ambitious youths were busied rolling up rib . boas or measuring yards of merino , talking cockniy phrase to servant girl ' i or waiting all obedience on

REPRESENTATION OP SHEFFIELD . On Friday week Mr . Thomas Clark delivered an Address in the Circus . The meeting was numerously and respectably attended . Mr . Buckley haying been called to the chair , after an appropriate speech introduced Air . Clark , amid greatcheering . Mr . Clark commenced his address taking the sontimonts of Mr . Roebuck , sentence by sentence , and in such a manner as to call forth the loudest applause from the meeting , particularly that portion of Mr . Roebuck ' s sentiments where he is for a large exclusion of persons from tho elective franchise . He fully established the fact that a base compromise has been entered into , in order to continue the cajolery whioh a large number of the electors and non-electors have ever been subject to . After ¦
his address , on the motion of Mr . G . Cavill , seconded by Mr . Thomas Peacock , the followin g resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That It is the opinion of this meeting that in ease of a . vacancy taking place in tho representation of the borough , that Mr . Thomas Clark is a fit and proper person to become a candidate . " At the close of the proceedings the following resolution wasagreod to : —• ' That in the event of Mr . Roebuck ' s friends agreeing to a conjoint meeting of the friends of both candidates ; and thereby-allowing the electors a fair opportunity of judging ofthe fitness of either ; and should Mr . Roebuck satisfy the majority on the question ofthe suffrage , that Mr . Clark would retire from the contest . " -Totes of thanks being given to the chairman and Mr . Clavk , tte meeting separated at a late hour .
particulars . ( From another Correspondent . ) In consequence of H . G . Ward having accepted the office of Governor ofthe Ionian Isles , a vacancy is of course about to occur in the representation of tho borough , and tho decision as to who the " future man" shall be , is a matter of consideration with all parties here . The Whigs and Radicals have made choice of Mr . Roebuck , tho late member tor Bath . The Chartists not being wholly satisfied with tho selection of this gentleman , wrote to Mr . T . Clark , requesting him to renew his claims upon the constituency . Mr . Clark has been here , and on Friday night last addressed a large meeting in the Circus . He was most enthusiastically received , and will , if he enters the field again , bo at least the man ofthe multitude . " Mr Clark , at the meeting ,
declared his unwillingness to oppose Mr . Roebuck , for although Mr . Roebuck entertained certain views of political economy of which he ( Mr . Clark ) did not approve , yet as Mr . Roebuck was the principal concocter ofthe People ' s Charter , if that gentleman still held , the Bame opinions , it would be most improper to oppose him ; of this , however , Mr . Clarkwas doubtful , as from a letter which Mr . Roebuck had addressed to one of his committee- fnen , and which had been read to a meeting of the electors , it iippfeaveil that Mr . lloebuck ' s opinions upon the Suffrage had undergone an important change . The following is the passage of Mr . Roebuck's letter : — The two questions Jyou put respecting constitutional reforms ave at tlUS time begmmug again to excite an interest . There are some earnest and cautious men , here in
London , who are seriously labouring to bring about a desire in the public mind , for a reform of the Iteform Act . Sucii a reform will come . The anomalies left in our system of representation must be cured—which they ma ) be Jeasily—if caution direct zeal in the endeavour . We have so much of good to retain , that no man without great care and attention ought hastily to lay his hand to the work of change . The most serious question which at tins time can present itself to the mind of a practical statesman , is that of the Suffrage—and « a this subject I earnestly desire an opportunity of stating in full my opinions . Words on that subject are in daily use which 1 ilo not understand , and to which 1 have neve ? assented , 'l'he wildest dreamer that over punted himself vvitlv thinking of , or \> y endeavouring to frame a constitution , never really proposed to himself what tho words Universal Suffrage
really signified . Men , women , and children , rogues , thieves , vagabonds , and honest men have iittVCV all boett herded together in the mind of any man and endowed with the franchise ; but if not , there is' exclusion ; but if there be exclusion , it must he on some principle , some ground . Some object is sought to be obtained by the exclusion , winch could not be obtained if that exclusion fce nut adopted . To discover the right principle of exclusion is the great difficulty ; and my opinion is , that most political men , and most political writers , have exaggerated the dangers of confiding the power of choosing representatives to a largo number of persons . I have myself great confidence iu the good sense and good feeling of my fellow countrymen , and believe that they may be safely , if generously , trusted . I therefore , though with every other man opposed to Universal Suffrage , believe tl » safe tendency , the really wiso tendency , is to extension ; and that due precautions being taken by regislralion , and hy requiring a known and
established domicile , added to precautions for excluding all criminals and vagabonds —this last is a well known legal term—you would go far in establishing the restrictions required for safety , and you would avoid nearly all the danger j resul ting fromliaving discontented si large section of tlie population . The peculiar modes of attaining these ends , the real extent of the restriction , vthich viovld indeed H large , one cannot settle in a letter like this . But I believe WC Should in this way obtain all the well instructed and rationul working men , and put away at once , and completely , all who ought to be excluded . Such is my view of what in the end we shall sec , and to which we ought to proceed with great caution . Iu this view you will see merely a matter of degree , and no wild principle of the Communist theory , to which no man is more strongly opposed than myself . But , I fear that I must by this timehave tried yourpatience , and I must leave a complete oxwusition of my views to a personal meeting , which cannot be very distant .
Mr . Ciaiik took strong objections to the qualified and unsatisfactory towns in which Mr . Roebuck had written of the suffrage , and spoke most forcibly against the « ontemplated restriction " which would indeed be large , " and concluded an able address by declaring his unwillingness to entirely give up his pretcnaions as a candidate until Mr . Roebuck should give a more satisfactory explanation of his new sufirage . It was decided unanimously by tlie meeting that the friends of Mr . lloebuck and Mr . Clark should make arrangements for < i meeting of those two gentlemen , when they should in the presence of the people of Sheffield discuss the point of difference .
A resolution was also adopted unanimously affirming Mr . Clavk to bo a fit and proper person to represent the borough in parliament . The fvienda of Mr . Clark have since the meeting at the Circus , applied to the committee of Mr . lloebuck , to take the necessary steps for bringing about the proposed meeting of the two principals , but the chairman of Mr . Koebuck's committee—Mr . Dunn—has refused to be at all instrumental in bringing about any such meeting , and his refusal has called forth the following note hi reply from Mr . Isaac Ironsides : —
Bank-buildings , April , 9 th , 1849 . Dear Sib , —I duly received yours of this morning , and must confess I was not prepared for its contents . You cannot be ignorant that Mr . Clark was a candidate at the last election—that he had an immense majority in tho show of hands—and that one-fourth ofthe electors who polled voted for him . These facts , as it seems to me , should at least have prevented the cavalier treatment of Mr . Clark , evinced in your letter . A portion of Mr . Roebuck ' s letter to Mr . i'isher was very unsatisfactory to many . I wrote Mr . Roebuck on this point , ufter hearing the letter read . I can be no party to the manner of evading the question shown in your letter , nor to any hoodwinking—nor , in fact , to anything but the most open , fair , and straightforward course , and , therefore , decline to act on Mr . Roebuck ' s committee ,
Believing , from the whole tenor of Mr . Koebuck ' s life , swift Ms sentiments recently addressed to the people of Sheffield , that lie would not willingly concur in the course marked out in your letter , 1 shall send , by this ni ght ' s post , a Copy of the correspondence . Yours faithfully , Thomas Dunn , Esq ., Isaac Ironsides . Chairman of Mr . Roebuck ' s Committee . So the matter at present stands waiting some decision on the part of Mr . Roebuck himself . Tho Chartists and their friends here will not be satisfied if Mr . Roebuck does not meet Mr . Clark to discuss the question of Universal Suffrage with him . Should Mi-. Roebuck . decline , it is most likely that we Will ha / e a contested election . The whole tcnoy of Mr . Roebuck ' s letter is looked . \ jpQtt here as being taiue and too cautious by far ,
