THE FIRST BID OF THE ACCHON . jhb next besi thing to tbe obtaining « f a victory g the knowin g how to naie a right aae of it . The VHiigs hire beea taught by this election thai -they m powerless as a faction ; that their only hope and pop is in the people . Bnt they are deep dogs . dej veil know bow to make the best of their defeat ; ted if the people be sot careful to ^ xaet the Ml benefit of their advantageous position , they wiU jpuredljbe robbed of bo much of it asWhigtreaoherj , Bd finesse < xa . filch fros tfeem . Let so B&a look fjr generoshj or even boaesty from the Whigs , ^ _
fbej are essentially traders ; imbaed with tke rery life of bargaining aadtriekerj ; always anxious to n gain power , and unable bo to do with--it the people , they will now se « k to eitapea , and banter with those against whom th « j b eid closed the door of ibe Market-place u kng as ftev eoald . The "finality" doctrine , railing short « f their own mark , will now be , of ooorse , abandoned , and a Suffrage bid will be forthwith Bide for popular support . The u Aou * e-hold gods " frill again give forth their influence , and the Ballot-mongers bellow out the praises of their
xnerthudise . Indeed , the game is begun already . At Hnddersfield , an Aseociatioa is now ferming , having Household Suffrage and the Ballot for its objects ; acd there is no doobt that the example will be followed throngh the whole conntry , if the people do Dot put an extinguisher upon the movement In fts infancy . And ihis , we tell them , will be done . We tell them th&t the time for trimming and cajolery has gone by ; that the people will mock every pretension to liberality , short of the fall measure of universal right . The people must do it , or they are traitors to themselves . And we know they
will do it -, their noble stand against the clap-trap ery of cheap bread , raised at so picked a time , gives « s full confidence . If the oily tongue and hollow heart failed to accomplish its deceitful purpose , having all the specious aid of poverty and hunger we hare no fear of any minor effort being more necessful . The people hare been too often bit to place themselves again within the reach of the birers . Their colours are nailed to the mast head—the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing
lees thin the Charter . The mountain nay come to Mohammed as soon sa it pleases , for not one inch will Mohammed budge towards the mountain . They may writhe and mouth , and kick , for a time , against the pricks , but finding the people's stern resolution taken and immo-reable , they will be fain enough to pve the fixed price for a new lease of DowniDgetreei , and again take cfilce as the servants of the people—ardent , isalons , and honest , tins time , because compelled to be so .

Good JNkws for Sheffield . —Mr . O'Connor having received numerous complaints o / the nontngertim of correspondenceJrom Sheffield ( which never arrwtd ml ihe office ) and being most atneious to make the Star as beneficial an organ as possible for ihe whole of the working classes , has appointed Mr . George Julian Harney correspondent for Sheffield and surrounding districts . All persons who may have communications for the Star , from Mr . H . ' s district , mil , upon his instalment , transmit the sume to him for arrangment . Mr . Harney being , at present , tinier an engagement , as West Mdmg Lecturer , respectfully reouetbt that the delegates and managers of his mission , will
be good enough to call a meeting at as early a time as is perfectly eonvenient to themselves , for the purpose of ascertaining whether or net some other person can be substituted for him during the lout month of his time . Mr . H . feels as he trill be still m a part of the West Riding which require * his service * , that q double service at the same exptnee to the Riding map be thus performed ; but should the delegates even express a desire for the fulfilment of his entire time , he will most cheerfully obey . Mr . II . also begs to say that he will became district agent for the Star , and mill establish a plan of serving at their own homes , those ^ persons teho have now to come a great
distance , and at great inconvenience . Mr . H will still lecture in his district , and as far as Barnstey , Chesterfield , Rotherham , and so forth ; and will , as far as is consistent with his duty to hi * office , be ever ready to obey the calls of those who think that his presence may be serviceable to the good cause . As soon as Mr . Hartley is settled ; ( and he requests his friends to be on the look ovt for a suitable residence ) he unit give due notice of hit address and arrangttnents . Mebthtk Ttdyil . —Mr . O'Connor will cheerfully accept the invitation of his Welsh friend as soon as possible after his liberation ; but he is resolved that his next tour shall U one 0 / woek—nii of mere " useless display ;" and has , therefore , resolved not to incur ihe fatigue and heavy expence of travelling , without further remuneration than the gremt
pleasure of being wearied . He will not accept of an invitation from any town or place until the people therein are prepared to present him with petition sheets , for the Charter , and Restoration of Frost Williams and Jones , signed according t » a icale of census to be hereafter laid down . Suppose 10 , 000 for Merlhyr Tt / dvil . Then Mr . O'Connor e « n relieve each locality of all the expence of postage and transmission of petitions ; . and can have ihe xchols ¦ petition arranged for the meeting of Parliament ; where this cannot be accomplished , Mr . O'Connor ' s presence trill not be required , as Chartism will not have found itself to be in a sound statt ; and his visits would be too short for immediate practical use for the purpose of initiation . The same answer applies to Hyde , and scores of places to which he has been invited . J . W . C— "O'Connor ' s Release" shall appear in a
week er two . T . C asks , "If a person is unable to procure a register of ihe exact time of his birth , owing to some negligence , either on the part of his parents or the clerk , at the time he was baptised , —will the testimony of both his parents , accompanied with a written statement in the family Bible of his- and the rest of the children ' s ages as they came into-rxistence . be sufficient to establish that fact 7 " We should th ink it would .

SUKl > EBIiANI > , —Lectvbk o . n Teetotalish . —On Monday evening last , Mr . George Binns delivered an able and eloquent address in the Arcade Room , on the subject of Teetotaligm . This lecture wag delivered in compliance with a special invitation from tbe Committee of the Total Abstinence Society , and when it is remembered that this Committee , or a part of them , refused tbe use of the room for a tea to Messrs . Williams and Binns , on their liberation from prison , the fact of their inviting Mr .
Binns now is a strong proof that a more liberal and rational spirit pervades the members of it . It also shews that Chartists and Chartism are differently estimated now . The room was crowded , and the enthusiastic manner in which Mr . Binnswas received , the cheers throughout his address and at its clo ? e , proted that the audience appreciated his services . It was announced , at the close of Mr . Binns ' s address , that in compliance with a similar invitation , Mr . Williams would deliver an address in the same place , next Monday evening .
HTTDDEJHSFIEZtl ) . — Magistrates Office , Sati-rdat , Jclt 10 . —Mr . Copstock , cabinet-maker , teetotaller , and anti-Corn Law repealer was charged with having broken the windows of Mr . Turner , carrier , by throwing stones on Tnesday , the 21 st of June , when the county candidates were about to address the people , who had peaceably assembled to hear them , when the base and brutal Whigs made the bloody attempt to ride them down without the least provocation . The case was defended by Mr . Clay , whose great abilities were unable to shake the evidence of the witness , who swore to having seen the itone thrown by the prisoner break the square . Although many more were broken , the Magistrates fined him 4 a . Would this have been the case had they proved it against the Chartists !

B n BNCT . CT . —On Thursday sight , or earlj on irid * y morning last , a fire broke oat on the premises of Messrs . Young and Co . which was fortunately got under without much damage having been done , Prompt assistance was rendered by everyone present to stop the ravages of the fire , andj among the most conspicuous in working the engine was the Rev . Mx . Cooke , Catholic priest . KEWIX . WOBTH . —According to notloe , a meeting of rate payers was called en the 10 th of Jnne , to take into consideration the laying of axate of 2 £ d . in the pound , the Rev . C . Quartsey in the chair , who stated the reasons for the rate being letied . Among the items was the gum of £ 32 which had been paid by the Churohwardens ; this it
was contended would render the rate illegal , and upon this ground , an amendment was moved to adjourn for ax months . The Reverend Chairman not . thmkmg of opposition , was so disconcerted as to be unable to carry on the meeting ; after a few words from one of his friends he declared the meethi £ W&B over batthe rate would be levied . The antirate party issued placards exhorting the rate-payers not to pay an illegal rate . This caused another notice to be affixed to the church door , calling another meeting for the 24 th June , when the Rev . H . M . Villiers , vicar , took the chair . The
churchwardens proposed and seconded that a rate of 2 £ d . in the pound be gran ted . -An amendment was proposed for a rate of ^ d . in the pound which the Rev . chairman refused to put . This brought forth another amendment , namely , that the meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . The Rev . chairman said he would put no motion which had for its object the defeat of the rate . Great excitement prevailed ; the original motion was then put and lost by a great majority . A poll was demanded and fixed for Friday and Saturday 25 th aDd 2 Dih , from eight to four o ' clock ear . h day . and * t tbe close the rate was carwed by 3 :-9 to 129 .
GLASGOW . —Testimonial . —It will be recollected by our readers that we noticed some time ago the laudable and unwearied exertions of Mr . James M'Birnie to induce tbe civil authorities to institute an investigation into the weights and measures used by the shopkeepers in this district . He was successful ; the weights of almost every shopkeeper were found deficient , and of course they were fined according , y . Graic ful for the benefit he had thus rendered the community , a number of the inhabitants met on
Wednesday evening week , in Scott ' s Coffee House , Mr . Robertson in the chair , when an elegant watch and appendages , value twelve guineas , were presented to him , by Mr . John M'Nab . The watch bore cha following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . James M ' Birnie , by the inhabitants of Cowcaddens , as a token of their esteem , for his perseverance in procuring an inspection of weights and measures . " Appropriate and patriotic addresses were delivered , and the evening was spent with that sociality which such au occasion was calculated to inspire .

Salford Hundred Quarter SrssioNs . ^ -TnB Ashton Rioters . —The twenty-six meu indicted for rioting and destroying houses during the election at Ashton-nnder-Lyne , and whose names are , James Broster , Richard Adcroft . John Court , James Hallworth , Joseph Carter , William Marsland , Jacob L-ockett , John Howard , William Harris , Joseph Bratt , WiJliam Shelmerdine . John Royle , James Oaks , Benjamin Roberts , John Briggs , John Clarke , James Price , Job Tankard , John Cookson , Charles
Sutton , Thomas Jenkiuson , Richard Joule , John Clare , Jame 3 Boulton , and John Stockton , were brought up on Saturday ; and Dr . Brown , who appeared on the part of the prosecution , stated , that , as this Court had not the power to inflict that punishment on the prisoners , if they were found guilty , which the law provided , they would be tried at tho assizes . To this the prisoners made no objection ; and they wera then informed by the Chairman , that they would be tried at the ensuing assizes . They were then removed from the dock .
Inquisitorial Hods of Administering Injustice . —A superintendent of the pelice force , named Castle , stationed at Wolverhampton , was brought before two of the Magistrates for that borough , on Tuesday , the 6 th instant , upon the charge of attempting to commit a rape upon the body of his servant , a girl of fifteen years of age , named Warner . This vary excellent sample of the corps , it Beems , by the statement of the Staffordshire Ejetiminer , went down stairs early on Sunday morning , and finding the girl engaged in cleaning the fire-place of a front room , forcibly carried her into a back room , and took liberties with her person of a nature so disgusting that we cannot publish the particulars . The xirl , immediately she wsb released , hastened home to
her parents , who reside in Stafford-street , and made known the occurrence . On Monday morning , the indignant father applied for a warrant to apprehend Castle upon the charge , and asserts that he met with some reluctance in obtaining it , and that upon his reqairtcg it should be placed in a constable ' s hands for execution , he was refused , and told tha- - the case must be heard in private . This , it appears , was done ; and the superintendent , who rested his defence upon the plea that he had merely bared the complainant ' s person in a sort of joke—that she had used paper for litjhtiug fires which he wanted for aaother purpose , and that he had turned up her clothes to chastise her for it—was fined 40 s . and costs . Tie complainant , however , positively swore that he had exposed his own person in the liberties he took with her , and that they were of a very different nature to that alleged by Castle . It does not
appear that he received the castration he deserved , or that he has been dismissed from his situation , as be onght to have been , if the facts were as stated by the aggrieved parent . These private hearings or secret examinations savour too much of the inquisitorial tribunals of the Continent ever to become palatable to the people of this country . If juftic « is really the thing meant , those who are to dispense it ought not to be ashamed of dispensing it in the face of the world . But if the object be to screen the guilty . and difgusc every impartial person , then the proceedings of these Wolverhampton Magistrates were eminently adapted to the attainment of it . If this poor girl had been the child of one of these Solons , it is a question if the offence would have been so snugly deposed of , or the offender let off with impunity ; for what effect mil a nominal fine of 40 s . have upon him I
Strakgb if True . — At the haunted house at Clewer , near Windsor , the other day , an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross-buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that mysterious domicile . Nothing was seen , but very considerable inconvenience was felt , by the venerable gentleman . Outrage at Watfrford—Eleven Persons Shot . —On Thursday evening , about nine o ' clock , a crowd of chiloren assembled in the Manor , and were shouting , " Down with the Tories , " " VVyse and Barron for ever , " with several exclamations of a like nature , when a monster , named Morgan , who resides in Henry-street , opened his door , and deliberately fired a pistol , loaded with balk or slugs , on the young and
innocent creatures ; he then reloaded and fired again , and then shut his door , and fired a third shot from his window . He succeeded in bis deadJy purpose . Will it be credited , he wounded eleven defenceless children , three of whom are not expected to recover ! Some boys , indignant at this horrid and brutal outrage , assailed the residence of this wretched and biood-siained man , and broke the windows in front of his house , but they were stopped by a few discreet neighbours . The police conducted the prisoner in perfect safety to the Major ' s < ffice . The following named wounded persons ( all being under the age ot eighteen ) sat at the side bar : —Johanna Henneberry , Alice Fcley , Mary Doyle , Alice Keating , Michael
Kelly , and Martin Magraih . Some of the other persons wounded were sent to the Leper Hospital , and others are in so dangerous a situation that they cannot be removed . Among the latter are a son of Mr . Thomas Torpey , a little girl named Mountain , and a boy named Quilty . About half-past ten the prisoner Morgan was brought forward , when the Mayor read the information of some of the wounded people , charging the prisoner with having fired two pistol shots . The Mayor * aid he should commit the prisoner , and would not- take bail . Since writing the above , we have heard that the child named Mountain has died of her wounds . Morgan is fully committed . —A bridged from the Waierford Chiotdcle .
Capture op a Whale . —A Email whale , of the finner species that frequent the Atlantic , and usnally follow the herrings in their migrations , was caught at the stake-nets of Mr Scott , near the conflux of the Pow Burn , on the afternoon of Thursday . The person in charge of the nets , an old man of the name of William Graham , while standing at the door of his hut , about two o ' clock , then high tide , observed an object of considerable size rolling about the stakes , within a few yards of the shore , and blowing up streams of water as if from % jet d ' eau . Without any one to assiBt—for he was alone at the time—tho courageous fisherman hastened to the Bpot , aad , with no other implements than a pocket
gully , and a rope which he brought with him , rushed in , middle deep , to the attack . The dorsal fin of the huge animal alone was seen as he approached , the water being more than sufficient to cover its entire body , though somewhat shallower further out . The fish , in do way entangled with the nets , must have been sick , otherwise it might easily have escaped . Graham , however , ran fre ? . t risk in attempting to capture it . With tho utmost caution and activity he succeeded in . making an incision in its tail with his knife , and in & : taching the rope to it by a running-hitch ; but he had no sooner accomplished this than the ponderous animal ^ are sym ptoms cf undiminifcbeci

My letter was to Shoirocks ; and if you look at it you will and that I was addressing it to yon thus , " My dear C—— , " and then corrected myself , as being on public business , and your name being associated with the Executive , I thought the letter should be to you , and that the letter to me was from you . Therefore , when I said that I wrote to Campbell , I should have said to Shorrocka , and you all bother me very much by not putting any address to your letters . You have not put any , and 1 am therefore obliged to send this for you addressed to the good veteran , Wheeler . Yours , very faithfully , Feabgus O'Connob .

Uie mart the ball can hoJd > wat neld up for it , and oh the contrary being taken , there wure two I Is U ) i * not proof that Sankey is dented 1 Three tremendous dieen and one cheer more were then given by tbe meeting in token of their approbation , amidst which tbe noble Republican retired . A like compliment was also paid to the " caged lioB , " and our beloved exile * across the -water , Frost , Williams , and Jones , God bless them I and . that glorious creed the Charter , after which the meeting dispersed , inwardly cursing Napier , * c and their crew , and declaring that Sankey « u the only m * n that possessed their confidence . Now what will be the result of this decision ? A . portion of tbe > electors of th > great metropolis ( which contains nearly double the number of inhabitants of : Manchester , bave placed Hall
at the bead of the polUNapier being eecoud ) . but the . people declare Mr . Saukey to be tb » ir representative , duty elected , and having their confidence ; and they consider Hall and Nspier as two iwbugainsd ^ far atrvants without characten . who hare usurped place * in the people ' s own House , to tbe exclusion of their ( the people ' s ) o-wn accredited representative . However , we have got our member ( and a Right Honourable member he is ) , and the electors ( or- at least a portion of them ) have got theirs ; « urs , who is possessed , of tbe confidence of the thousands , is excluded from our own House ! because his constituents are . lodgers , ( and it is well known that lodgers are of time * more enlightened
than those who claim the house , and , in general , pay the rentand taxes !); theirs , possessed of no real eonfidence whatever , ate admitted , because they are seat in by persons who live in tbe bottom of a h-o-u-s-e , "free gratis for nothing ; ours is the advocate of the interests of . all ; theirs of a class only . Sankey , whom the enthusiasts have rejected ; we will reserve him for ourselves : he is a man of whom we may well be proud , and who , if L mistake not , can be of nearly as much servioe to the people OUT of the House as in it As Tom Attwood once said of himself , he is undoubtedly possessed of great talents , posseses great influence , and enjoys the confidence of the ' ¦ good and true" of all elusion .

BIRMINGHAM .
ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE "PLAGUE . " The " Xiberals" of Birmingham have made aaother attempt to gull the natives , and finding that Douglas , Edmonds , and Co . were completelyrlaid on the shelf , they sent for Mr . Murray , of Manchester , to prop up their falling fortune . Large bills were posted , announcing two lectures by the above-named individual , on the injustice of the bread tax , to take place at the Publicoffice , on Tuesday and Wednesday evening , at eight o'clock . At half-past seven , on Tuesday evening , the Publicoffice was crowded to suffocation , and the various rooms adjoining completely fllUd . :
Mr . Murray attempted to commence his lecture , but was interrupted with cries of" adjourn , " " we ' re nearly stifled , " " Stephenson-square , " "Oxford-road , " dec . At length it was moved and seconded that Mr . Benjamin Hill , a straightforward Chartist , should take tbe chAir . This was carried unanimously amid loud cheers . Mr . Murray demurred . He said he had not been used to such scenes as that which be then witnessed . ( Shouts of "Perhaps not ; we ' re wide awake here . We'll have none of your Manchester doings here , " ic . ) Finding it was no use to object to the apppointment of a chairman , he then stated his wish that the meeting should be adjourned . A show of hands was taken on the subject , when it was decided that the business should proceed . Mr . Hill then addressed the meeting , and declared bis determination to procure a fair hearing for all parties who thought proper to address them .
Mr . Murray endeavoured to procure a bearing , but such-was the crowded state of the place that it was nine o ' clock before the Chairman ( who exerted himself with all his mighty could procure him a hearing . He at length proceeded' with the usual statements of the anti-Corn Law advocates , interrupted with shoots of "When we get the Charter we'll repeal all bad laws , " " We have heard all you said a hundred times over . " Mr . Murray declared himself no Whig . He was no bit-by-bit reformer . He was for the people getting their rights , but he would take what he could get . After a drawling and ineffective address , the lecturer concluded by informing the meeting that as h « would bave otber opportunities of addressing them he should conclude and reserve to himself the right of answering any person that thought proper to oppose bis views .
The Chairman requested tbe meeting to keep order , so that an arrangement should be made as to the time that each spenker should be allowed to occupy . He thought that as it was rather late ten minutes would be sufficient . He then put it to the meeting . It was unanimously agreed to . Mr . John Collins then addressed them . He said that one ef the statements put forth by the lecturer seemed to him Wither strange . He had told them that be was no bit by bit reformer , and . yet be was an advocate ( or a bit . As to the question of the Corn Law * , he agreed with the lecturer that they werennjust ; in fact , the people bad found that out twenty-five years since , and bad been letting the country bear of it time after time . But the parties who were now crying out for their repeal never said a word about them until they began to suffer themselves . The working classes bad
been so used to suffering , that their skins were now middling thick , and be , for one , would allow the manufacturers to have » taste of what the working classes had previously suffered . He would not help them unless they consented to help the people to get the Charter . ( Load cheers , ) It was well known that the manufacturers bad tbe power of applying all the benefits that might arise from a repeal of the Corn Laws to their advantage . He therefore would not trouble himself about the Cam Law question , uutil they gave him a guarantee in the shape of a vote , which would insure him a share of the benefits to be derived from arepeal of the Corn Laws . There were also other bad laws that ought to be repealed , and if they were to agitate first for tbe repeal of the Cjrn Laws , and afterwards for a repeal of tho New Poor Law , and se on , he thought that looked like bit by bit reform ; be therefore could not join it .
At tbe conclusion of Mr . Collins' address , tbe meeting commenced a general scout of ' Wbite , White . " Mr . White , who stood in the prisoner ' s dock , stated that he could not gain access to the platform . He -was immediately lifted over the iron spikes , and landed comfortably on the magistrate ' s table , amid loud and repeated cheers . He said that the lecture of Mr . Murray was made up of the usual statements put forward by the advocates of Com Law repeal , in fact , such was the flinisiness of the argument used by Mr . Murray , that a few niinutes would suffice to overthrow them . But why trouble themselves with again going into tbe question ? Had they not held a meeting in the Town Hall a short time previous , and held a discussion for six hours and a balf with some of the
cleverest men in the country , before twelve thousand people , who , after patiently listening to both sides of the question , had voted the corn , sugar , and timber question to be an insult to tbe suffering millions 1 He maintained that not only was the paltry measure an insult , but the bare fact of calling a meeting of working men , in order to appeal to their reason and judgment , and after wauls refusing them a vote , on tbe ground of ignonnce , was a most outrageous insult to the working classes , and as such ought to be resented . But what after all did tbe advocates of Corn Law repeal propose to do for the working classes ? They say they want to increase trade , and also to give the people cheap bread . Now his friend Murray would admit that tbe trade of this country had iDoreased
more than ten-fold within tbe last fifty years , and be would ask tho meeting whether they , were ten times better off ? ( "No , no , worse . " ) Well , then , if an increase of trade bad made the people worse off , what could be thought of the anti-Corn Law doctrine ? The anti-Corn Law men told them that tb < y could not compete with foreigners ^ bnt he maintained that tbe people of this country were not competing with them , but with some of the cleverest English mechanics , Who bad left this country on account ot the oppression under which they laboured ; This fact had been admitted by the lecturer . Even admitting all the statements of the Corn Law repealers to be true , he would ask them whether it was just or reasonable that the mechanic in England should be
compelled to work for the whole world , that he might be enabled to procure the mere necessaries of life for himself and family ? Had Providence placed some particular curse on the labourers of England , that they should be compelled to waste their lives in the stink and smoke of factories for thirteen er fourtew hours a day , in order to keep themselves alive , whilst foreigners were enjoying the sunshine ? ( " No , ao , " and cheers . ) For his p * rt , he wanted to see mea well fed and clothed , without enduring so much misery ; and if foreigners wanted manufactured goods , let them work for themselves . Ho maintained that the boasted commercial system of this country was a mass of fraud and reckless gambling , and that from it proceeded all tbe miseries and heart-buininga that efilleted society . He was for doing away with the whole system , instead of
increasing its evils , which was the avowed object of the Corn Law repealers . He did not believe that working men were brought into this world to be the mere machines of otber men— -to create for them immense fortunes , whilst they who produced all -were in the lowest depths of misery . He felt that he was a man , and would never be content with less than full and complete justice . ( Loud cheers . ) Tbe lecturer bad admitted that the principles of tbe People ' s Charter were just aud true ; the men of England bad found that no jman could controvert those principles . He therefore called on them never to cease tbeir endeavours to obtain their establishment , and they could then repeal tho Com Laws , and ail other lavs that interfered with the comforts and happiness of themselves and families . Mr . Wbite retired amid repeated
cheers . Mr . Mubbat said a few words in reply . He bad not beard either Mr . White or Mr . Collins object to bis views as to tbe evils of the Com Laws , and should not interfere in their political opinions , although be was for getting what be conld . Tbe Chairman gave notice that the meeting was adjourned to the following evening , when it would be held at Paddeaton-iow . Threfl hearty cheers were then given for the People ' s Charter , and the same with right good will for Feargus C'Conaur , after vfhich the meeting separated .

— - —>? THE - JOB CHANCELLOR'S FAREWELL l » The injurious influence which was brought to bear against the Reform party during the late contest in this city , by the appointment of Baron Campbell , we never ceased io lament . We warned the Whi ^ s of what their "job" would bring about ; but they persevered with their eyes open , and now they must only bear the results . Baron Campbell , will , however , sit no more . He took his farewell of tfie profession on Monday . After giving judgment on some unimportant cases , he stated , as reported : —
lhat the motions and short causes being now finished , the court stood adjourned . He took that opportunity of stating that he found the practice in Ireland much improved and shortened , particularly by the abolition of the eye clerks , which example he considered the courts in England would < U > well to follow—that he siUl perceived matters in which improvements could be introduced , and . that , ha knew it was the opinion of Lord Cottenham thai the pleadings in equity might be greatly shorteaed , for that at present the great expence incurred in proportion to the sums recovered was in many instances tantamount to a denial of justice , and the parties frequently submitted . ( and wisely ) to the original injury rather than seek rer dresg by so expensive a process . This proceeded chiefly from the plaintiff , in bis Dill , telling his story in his own favour , which frequently turned out a thrice-told tale . This might be greatly
shortened by the parties merely putting forward , their grievancesand theirreasonsfor seeking redress , which in many cases might be done by petition , and an order of reference at once made thereon . That , iu the lawreforms which he had already introduced , he had the aid of the English bar freely given him ; and in . the contemplated changes he now had iu view , he had every reason to expect th « like aid from the Irish bar ; but he mainly relied upon the co-operation of that accomplished lawyer , Sir . Michael O'Loghlen , who decided with that happy aptitude for meeting the justice of the case so desirable in an equitable judge . That he was quite aware , before he could carry these changes into effect , he might be reduced to the situation of a private person ; but that was no reason why he should not coz > tinue his exertions for the public , benefit ; and h * felt that he had , while holding this high situation , filled it well . '
Now , Baron Campbell has eat altogether in tba Irish Court of Chancery about twenty hours . He retires , and on the death of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in his 87 th year , and the other upwards of 76—receives £ 4 , 000 a year pension , which , taking the average of human life , he will enjoy for thirty years . Twenty hours , we believe , contain some 1 , 200 minutes ; and £ 4 , 000 a year for thirty years will give £ 120 , 000—so that it requires not to be very deeply read in Cocker to arrive at the conclusion that Biron Campbell will receive , for thd term of his natural life , just One Hundred Founds fpr every minute he eat as our Lord Chancellor Ithat is , at the rate of £ 6 , 000 per hour ! And besides this he had a Peerage ! Lucky Baron Campbell , say we I—Dublin Monitor .

FBOH OUR LONDON'COURESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , July 14 th . MARYLEBONB—Tbemembers reading in this district met on Sunday evening last , at their room , '' The Working Msn'a Hall , " when they unanimously resolved " That the use of tbe hall be given for a ball , to be held therein during tbe first week of August , for the benefit of Bronterre O'Brien . The members connected with tho Ball committee afterwards assembled and transacted their business . ST . Pa NCR as . —The usual weekly meeting of the members here , was held on Monday evening last , at the Feathers , Warren-street , Tottenham Court Road , Mr . Ooodfellow in the chair . Several new members were enrolled , and after tbe usual business bad been gone through , the meeting separated .
Middlesex County Council . —Thisbedy is about being : disaolred , tor the purpose of being re-constituted . Next Sunday will be the last day of acting on their present plan . From the extent of London , it is requisite there should be a central body meeting , so as to take advantage of every movement , and it is to be hoped that , by an efficient County Council being chosen , the apathy of London will be shaken off . Borough of Marylebone Election Committee . —This body met on Monday evening last , Mr . Laurie in the chair . Mr . Wall in a most masterly style , explained the clauses in the Reform Act , which give so much power iuto the people ' s bands , if they were brought into play . The Finance Committee brought up their report , from which it appears , tbe total amount subscribed towards the late election for Marylebone Is £ 21 11 5 J Expended .... 19 14 l ©
Balance in band £ l 19 7 $ to cover debts to the amuanb ot nearly £ 5 . Farther claims to be rated for the purposes of the Reform Act , were banded in , and after a long discussion between the members the meeting separated . The Members and friends of this body will sup together on an early occasion . ADDRESS OP THE MEN OF MARYLEBONE AND PANCRAS TO THE FRIENDS OF THE CHARTER . Brothers , —We have had , O 3 you are aware , a long Ight with our enemies the Whigs and Tories , and though unsuccessful , we feel confident that our conduct has met with the approval of all friends .
A base and dastardly trick having been played upon tbe people of the borough of Marylebone , we considered it necessary to vindicate our character by placing Mr . Villiers Sankey in the field . We did do so , and we were beaten , and our strength appears to be small , but why ? through tbe treachery of those electors who , after promising for us , voted against us . The election has , of course , involved us to a small extent , anc-5 we ask of you , Brothers and Friends , to assist us , so that no burthen will be thrown on tbe shoulders of our late respected Candidate .
We are , yours in union , Thomas Wall , Thomas Smith , Wm . Beck , John Humphreys , James Kenwood , Robert Marlev , H . B . Marley , James Fearn , r . a . goodfellow . Marylebonk . —Present Struggles and want of Confidence . —We have , notwithstanding all that the Whig press may state to the contrary , and they bave lied enormously of late , no confidence whatever in the present representatives (?) of this borough . ( Sir
Benj . Hall and Sir Chas . Napier , two knightly state paupers , who glory in Malthusian Whig principles , and advocate free trade (?)) It is true they have been returned by a large majority ; a majority whicb has left those aristocratic Conservatives , Cabbell and Hamilton ( who bave spent thousands ) and our own more than ever prized Sankey in the lurch ; but still we have no confidence in them ; they may do very well for , and doubtless serve , those Malthnsians well who have elected them , nay , mare , they may possess the confidence of a few frequenters of the pothouses , whose love for fumes and intoxicating beverages so mantle their clear reason , as to prevent them from judging for themselves ; but they never can , and what is more , never will , possess the confidence of the enlightened
portion of either Whig , Tory , or Chartist in Marylebone .. I have noticed this at several of their election meetings , Napier ' s especially , ( whose fir&t meetingTiad wall nigh created » riot . ) 1 nave traced it from the sal- # on to the tap-room , aye , even to the hustings , where , tbe II no confidence" expressions were most manifest . I have seen Napier , tbe idol of pot-and-pipe-mer / , rave like an idiot at tbe manifest confidence in him . I have seen thousands wave him off tbe hustings ( in Portland Place ) without an bearing ; I bave beard t ) / eir exclamations , tbeir groans , their bootings and his . ' fog ; and I bave said to myself , by whom is be estee ? sed , and by whom considered , ' a lit and proper perr / m" to represent so important a borough as Maryleboae ? and common sense replies—merely his pot-hoi / se friends and
electors . This want of confidence in' . reaseB our political struggles in this quarter , « nd makes our cause progress rapidly ; as a flrt > t step , it ir duced our leading friends to bring out our hitherto retiring , but able and unwearied advocate , Stephen Villiers Sankey , who , though below all tbe other ¦ candidates in point of votes , stands confessedly highest , in public estimation , as the attention , applause , and anew of bands , proves . Hurrah for Villiers Sankey , th } only truly elected representative of the industrious classes , and the respected even of the Whigs and Tori « ¦ On the evening of his ever-to-be-remembered nor ^ nation , the glorious SOtb of June , we had two eplr Adid chartist election
meetings , in aid of sending hi m to the poll on tbe succeeding day ; one at the WorJ / hig Men's Hall , Circus-street , New Road , at eight o ' clock , and the other at the Black Horse , Rathbone PJ '* ce , at ten . That in the Hall was crowded to excess , aDd when tbe people's candidate appeared , the cbe / . rs were truly deafening . A resolution was moved by Mr . Wall , ( Wall , to whom the Chartists are indebted for the rise of Chartism , in a -united form , in . St . Pancras ) that though there were several candidates contending for the rerre £ , cntat . on of Marylebone , Mr .

NEWCASTLE AND SUNDERLANB ELECTIONS . 10 THE EDITOR OP THB HOBTHHRK fllAE . Dear Sib , —It appears in the above boroughs that J . B . O'Brien , at Newoastle-upon-Tyne . and Mr . Binna , at Sunderiand , were placed legailj in nomination , and that they were , by the respectiro returning offioers , declared duly elected ; And that neither Mr . W < H . Ord , at Newcastle , or Alderman Thompson , at Sunderiand , demanded a poll , and as no resignation was tendered for either O'firiea or Bina * , these ^ eaUemen , to * lh intents and purposes , are the legal M . P . ' a for those plaeei , yet the returns are filled up with other names , vijl , Ord and Thompson . Now it being ; of all things moat important to the Chartists as *
body , that msn like O'Brien and Binns should be in Parliament , I beg leave to ask , through the medium of the Stor , what are the necessary steps to effect that . purpose . Is it by »» election petition ! is a committee of the House or Commons the tribunal that must settle the matter ! 'if so . money will be , required , and it being a national question , I beg to miggest the propriety of ths Executive of the National Charter Association ordering a levy of one shilling per head on ths whole of the members , and which I am sure , poor as the mass of members are , it would be readily responded to : for suoh a purpose . This , backed by a subscription from Scotland , would , in my opinion , be sufficient to effect ths purpose : only , it' done , let it be done instantly . Hurrah for O'Brien and Binns I Hurrah for the Charter ! Faithfully yours , In the jjood cause . Edmund Stallwood .
