( eleven o clock teas the appointed time for commencing ) Mr . Abram Cromyton was voted into the chair , by the meeting , in ihe chapel , and not before entering the chapel , as ¦ conr informant states . A rate of two-pence in the jound was moved and seconded . As an amendment , the parties opposed to the rate moved , that the meeting was adjoHrned to that daj twelve znomhs . After jjome discussion , in which several persons took part , Mr . Cromptoc pat the motion for adjournment , which waslojrt by a majority , if I mistake nor . of fifty-two . The chapel-warden was asked for his accounts . In reply , he said , that it had
always been cDStomary to call a meeting purposely for the passing or the accounts ; nnd , anticipating that such as in would be the case , he had not bron ^ iit his ' baoks withhim to the meeting , and without them he could not give in the various items in his accounts , but promised to call a meeting , in a short time , to examine , or refese them , as the sneceedine meeting should think proper ; in the mean time , a " : v person might have access to his books . Some discussion ensued , after which the chairman tmtiiie motion , that a rate be laid of twopence in the Pound * which was unanimously agreed to—there not being n . single hand held up against it . There was no hurrv , bnstle , or contusion . The leading opponents to the rate were present . They said what thi ? v had t- > 53 V , without any interruption ; and ,
when t '; e mon <> n was put to the contrary , not one of them opposed it . A person of the name of Meadowcroft then « riW . ~ 1 more there Is a -scrutiny , " vhicli was seconded . . Mr . Crompton said , that if Jfr . MeaJovrcrofi intended to demand a poii , it ras hi * ( Mr .

TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gexts . —1 am anxious , through the medium of th ? i ? TAR . to address a few observations to the inhnbiiaEts oi ihi * town , upon a subject of great importance ; namely , the gross and Jingrant ubuses . aow existing in the Police Establishment of this place , the nature and extent of which abuses , I am glad to perceive the people are beginning to take into thtfii serious consideration . Indeed , so numerous have they been of late , and of such frequent occurrence , that it has become the imperative duty of the Rate papers to take proitipt and effective steps to produce a reformation , and to prevent th ;; ir recurrence lor the future . These abuses have originated in consequence of the Commis ^ oners
of Yv 5 . ce not strictly watching the cendnct of the parties tx > vhom they earrosted the preservation of the peace of the town , nni the protection oF jh » » person ? and property of 3 l- inbab . tauts . A portion of the blame must b * e attributed to the people , on accoiiDt of iiieir indifference and neglect as to the election ¦ > F proper persons to fill the office of Comua » ii . ^^ -i - . b-ix ihe Radical Association , much to it * hcii tir . " ^ . ¦' iV . ennp the subject in a fearless and ic > fpen -iit manner , determined to grapp le with ihe : u ^ urtrons abuses that have so long afflicted the people , and to r ^ nove every impediment to their happing " . The most glaring abuses have , hitherto , been snfl ? red to pass unnoticed ; the most scaudalon ? and shameful violations of the urinted rules and
instructions of the Commissioners have been comnutieJ by police officers without eHcidng a single irord of aaimadveriion or reprobation of ruch conduct . The streams of justice , which ought to have flowed pure and mx-nliied , have been polluted at their very origin ; and e \ ery successive day we wilnpss them becoming more and more vitialecL "The vices , the ccrrnptions , the profligacy of our national government , the disregard for public opinion , the carelessness manifested jor the people ' s welfare , the prodiraiiry evinced in the distribution of the naaon ' s resources , which characterize iU are so closely imitated , and so faithfully copied by those who are entrusted with the management of our local affairs , that there is no longer an v security for
the poor mzn ; no guarantee for Ms liberty or ins rights ; be is completely at the mercy of a few unprincipled , mercenary , soTiiid wretches , -who care nothing for Ms miseries or his sufferings , so that they c = n compass their own rile ends . The people have baen abrised and insulted ; they have been degraded bv insolem tyranny ; they have been prostrated at the feet of lawless oppression and injumce : every semblance of justice has been denied them , until " at last they have been reduced to a state of vassalage and bondage worse than Algerine The people of " this town hare been terrified into submission hv the brutally outrageous conduct of , our police ; they have almost despaired , because , * hen thev appealed for protection to the
representatives of her majesty , it was in vain ; then * applications have been treated with disdain ; but thanks to the exertions of the Rev . J . R . Stephens , they now know their rights , and , knowing , dare maintain them . Whenever charges have been" advanced against the constables and watchmen for improper conduct—for being beastly drunk , when they ought to have been discharging the dutiesof their respective office *—for their savage , brutal , and ferocious treatment of prisoners in their custody—for their blackboard , filthy , obscene , disgusting , and revolting language , applied to some of the most respectable rate-payers , remsle as well as male , out of who ^ e hard earnings they receive their wages— -there has been nothing worthy the name of investigation ;
their crimes and iniquities have been connived at ; the charges have been evaded ; they have been allowed to resume their functions , and to recommence their outrages upon the inhabitants . Many persons , to my own personal knowledge , have been aeterred from preferring their complaints lest they ihould become objects of their implacable rejentment and . unmitigated vengeance . Thus has the yrievance been allowed te continue , gradually fr o wing and increasing , until it has become so intolerably oppressive , that the people can endure it no longer . They have , a . t length , seen , the mischief « nd injnry which have resulted from their renrissness , ETrpmeness , and apathy ; and are resolved to make reparation for the past , bj increased dijigence and attention Sgi the future . They intend acting upon the admirable advice of the late Sir Robert Peel—of taking their a&iremto their own hands . They wQl no longer leave them to be ^ b
aagea y magistrates , commisaonerg , or any ., LZ ^ T S * 7 St ^ ss revrard their exerdoos , and iV ?^ J ™* 1 ^ *» the recompence of their labonrs !

A stable , a shippon , a hen-roest , or a pig-sty , wouldbe a palace compared to them . They are unfit for the reception of any human being . The wondeT is , that any pereon ever rorvives an imprisonment in them—that the uriforttraate individuals immersed therein do not
fall rictinw te some pestilential disorder . They 3 re the receptacle * of all manner of filth and human excrement . They are never properly cleaned out , and the sickening , loathsome , fetid effluvia that proceeds irom them is sufficient to create a deadly distemper . They are infamously disgraceful to the town . I sincerely hope that the ratepayers will adopt !? peedy and efficacious measures for remonng that abominable nuisance—if they do not , there is no punishment that will be commensurate wilh fh « r deserts . " -Heft Broth , " and all the other infernal cruelties and barbarities practised in the Devil's Royal Maniions , alias the New Poor Law Bastiles , © nght to be their portion . There is another sniject to which I beg to call the people ' s attention ,
namely , the repeated denials which they nave received when they have applied for the Town Hall That edifice was built at an enormous expense to the people , and they have now to-pay large sums o ! money a » interest to persons who advanced money tew aids its erection . This interest has been truly termed the " Staleybridge National Debt . " The Town Hall has been applied for several times for the people to meet in on the Factory Question , but the majority of the commissioners being made of cotton , they have invariably refused the use of it to the operatives . Thank " Heaven , the operatives won ' t have to ask fer it any more—it is their own property , and they are resolved " to do what they like with their own" as well as other people . Auy person ot
any party can have the use of it , except the people . thev alone are excluded . There have been lectures on chemistry and on music delivered in it—there have been concerts and selections of sacred music performed in it—but there conld be no performance when the black enormities of out Factory System might have been delineated , where the sufiVriiig of the injured and defenceless factory child conld hare been depicted—where the voice of Oastlw and of Stephens might be heard soothiDg the sorrowful—cheering the disconsolate—Hnconrajjnng the operative—where they migtit be seen wiping the tears from the eyes of the factory slave—commjsseratiag his sad condition—animating Siim in the cause of freedom , by bright and happv
anticipations ol the fuiure . Oh no 3 the sons o ) tojl nii : st not be allowed tb (* benefit of their consolation . Bat it will tot he so long . Even the notorious James Acland , of Bristol and Hull notoriety , hr . iad the use of the Town Hail very recently , to l ^ c'n re ot Poor Laws , ar . < i to prove to the iguuniiit people of Staleybridge the "impartial justice , lei-evoience . and pol . cy of the Pour Law Amjud : neut Act . " The rommis ^ oiurs , or the persons acting under their authority , granted him the u . * e of the people ' s ediiiee , when it suited their purpose ; bv . t when a deputation from the Radical Association applied for it , lo u .-eet the foul hireling and calumniator i . f their 1 e .-t and most cheri .-he i friends , tbey were flatly refuse ;? .

So absurd and unjust was the distribution of we ; : lth in 1812 , that though the working classes received only 4 s . 6 d . in the pound of the protiuctioas of their labour one and a half millions of their clnss were suffered lo be paupers iu England aud Wales , and doable that number in Ireland . Though the Government received 2 s . 7 d . in the pound for
preserving peace , and were nssisred by 210 . 0 U 0 judges , barristers , attorneys , civil oincfTs . Arc . 900 , ( X ) 0 , - professional murderers , nnd 4 . 700 lunatics : there were 17 , 500 prisoners for debt , and 308 , " 00 vatrauts , prostitute-s , rogues , gypsies , and vagabonds , in and out of prison that cost the covn try , on an average , ten per cent , each individual ir . ore than was paid to working classes , and the 1 . 800 , 000 drones , supported in idleness , received individually nearly five time * their income . Wenlthy idleness , was " then , and is still considered re .-peclablt and honourable ; usefullabour mean low , and de « radin ^ . Thc-e to whom learning is of little value , were crammed with knowledge ; the worthless and profli jate freouentlv

Forthis lumentable state of things we blr . inr iu > class—we blame no individual in any cin-is , we taow , " that the character of-every individual was formed fc * r him" by the cir-CDmstances m which he has been placed , and the training he has received , v . - « seek no man ' s propeity

Devil himself had been employed to ' organize this civilized and Christian country , he couIJ iiit have invented anything mort ; Tii ) juj ' t ; irrational , barbarous , and uuchristiau than thfi present di ^ trifcuaon of wealth and classification of society . Compare t / . is with the Distrihtiion of Health at Raid / tine . The stored ? eper distributed the fond , clothing , < fcc , kept in the store ; the gardener , the prodnce ef the g arden ; the secretary was treasurer and distributor of money aud labour notes ; Mr . Vandaleur sold the surplus produce and pnrcha . se' articles fer the farm , and the store : these -were all
the distributors of wealth they Lad for eighty-one persons , " and none of these were emploved onethird of . tbeir time in the business of distribution . The produce of the estate in 1832 , was about JL' 1700 , and the . cos * of distribution were less than £ 50 , not one-tMrtLjth part of the wealth produced—less than one-tenth part of-the cost of distribution in the present state of society ; yet wealth was so distributed that every mar , woman , and child in the society " was well fed , clothed , lodged , taught , and governed : the fear of poverty was banishad , and
crime against the laws was unknown . But community at Ralahine , beautiful as it was , was only a raiftll part of a verv imperfect trial of the principles of Socialism—it was only a commencemeut oi the agricultural department of it . It was Mr . Vandaleur ' s intention , as soon as the society had acquired some capital , that it should commence the manufacture of woollens , or other articles suitable for that part of Ireland . This would hare been much to the interest both of Mr . Vandaleur and the Socetr . the increased population would have consumed

an _ S » &nn on the » pot ,-and "saved Mr . Vandaleor ' s labour , expense , and risk in selling it The rent and other expenses of the society would then be paid in manufactured goods , of ready sale , in every shop in the country . In disposing of these , the Society conld not be undersold , and they would not try to undersell others ; but they would endeavour to make articles superior in quality to all others . They would not be undersold , because * 1 st . —The walls of their factoried were , already built ; 2 nd . — They had plenty of water power . 3 rd . —Because they would get the be ; t machinery , and their machinery wpold be purchased out of their own savings , or be made by . themselves . 4 th . —The bouses fer their manufacturing brother members to
live in would be built jby themselves , on their own land ; hence this addition to their numbers , according to the terms of their agreement with their landlord , would cause no increase , cither in rent , or in interest of money . 5 th . —No labouring men in competitive society , could live either eo well or so cheap . Hence , not only could they gnccessfully compete with all others ; bnt they must of necessity , in a few yeprs , have become independent and wealthy . They would first purchase machinery for manufactures ; next the agricultural implements and farming : stock ; then the estate itself ; and ever afterwards enjoy all the fruits of their industry in harmony and peace . I am a Radical Reformer , and both in principle and practice a zealous advocate for Annual Parliaments , Universal Suffrage , the Vote by \ Ballot , the Repeal of unjust Laws and the destruction of Monopolies : but , whilst seeking these comparatively minor
objects , let us take care not to overlook those , more important questions that affect bur very existence . If we could obtain all our political objects to-day , they conld not remove one of the social evils I have enumerated . The very utmost they could do , would be to remove three-fourths of our taxation , say £ 30 , 000 , 000 annually ; but I see no chance of getting these reforms in the way they are sought , and with the dispositions manifested by both Houses of Parliament , in less time than fifty years ; whilst , by meeting together for the formation of committees , the working classes , with the means now in their hands , might , in less than seven years , relieve themselves and families , both from poverty and the fear of poverty for eve . —secure all the political advantages they seek—save £ 40 , 000 , 000 in the expenses of Government—150 millions in the distribution o ! of wealth—and the £ 100 , 000 , 000 squandered ou idlers . - -
I , therefore , earnestly call npon you , working classes , to unite heart and hand with your social brethren , for the accomplishment of our objects now within your grasp , far greater and far more glorious than were ever before attempted , in any age , or in any country in the world . In my next I shall give the laws relating to the formation of character . — 1 am , »! cc . Mav 9 th . 1 S 3 S . JOHN FIN'CII .

But I see worse than allthis ; I see the professed miBisters of our God bowing down to the shrine oflvlanimon , and the great-. pillars-of our churches , either sharers in . or connivtrs at , all this atrocious wic"kedness ; and putting this most accursed o < all gold into God ' s treasary , in order to send Bibles , aud tracts , and Mi&sioiiar \ es , all over the world . I liate the devil at all times , but most of all dn I hate him when he transforms himself into an
angel of light ; for then I am certain that he is after some , doubly devilish deed of wickedness . And I just as much hate the wretch who , with eyes lifted towards heaven , and the Bible in hiahand , pretends to be the minister of Christ , while he is eating the costly cheer of thb Millowner and quaffing the wine of the Poor Law Commissioner , though he knows that tie one is composed of the bones and . morals of the factory child , and that the other is mingled with the blood and tears , and seasoned with the curses of the miserable pauper , his wretched wife , aud helpless offspring . And now , Gentlemen , if all this be true , and I defy any one to prove it otherwise , then what is to be done ? Are t ' -: e good men of Yorkshire and Lancashire toiight in the glorious cause aloue ? Is not the cause a common cause—are not our
interests blended—can harm be done to one portion of social community , —and the others not be affected by it ? Is it right that the parent should be thrown out of employment , and be forced to subsist upon that which is the price of his children's lives and health , and souls ? Is it right that the laws of God and nature should be violated , in order that a > mall portion of the people may be enabledtoei / joy all the luxuries and elegaaces of life , and leave huge blood-cemented palaces , and bags flllea with bloodcoiied gold to their heir ? ? Is i t right , above all , isit right that those who pretend to be the ambassadors of God , and get well paid for acting a > such , should
outrage every precept of the Bible , which they profess to believe and teach , and turn the altars of Christianity into those of Moloch and Mammon ? Every idea of justice—every feeling of benevolencefve . ry sentiment of piety , answer No . The cries of thousands of living piningvictims answer No—the deep curses of distractecf parents . answer No—the thousands already sacrificed , from their humble graws shriek . No—the blessed shades of Sadler , and the departed great and good of earth , respond the negative ; and God , the Go * d cf the ; fatherless , the widow , and the poor , pronounces by his Word , that those things ought not to be . Then what is to be done ? clearly this . The cause is the cause of all , and all must unite ; all must memorialise ( no veti-
