THE BECEKX RAILWAY MAIL ABRAKGBUSS 1 B . itii not often "w » *» Tei « a to oompiKn of aw arrangesteato < r f tl » **«* Offiw . «* " fcawiw bad much b > say in tne -way of f * ult-anding respecting tbe treatment ire have received from the postmasters throughout the coantry . Witfltb * arrange rrraats ve havtf in general bean content ; and with respect t » U » latter , whenever we bare had to appeal to the General Posfc-effiee auiiwrities , we hare is . TOnabfy found a readiness to inquire , and a promptitude to redrwi in tb « highest degree
a&tirfac-It % therefore , with ne 01 or aoored feeling towards ' tbe Post-office antfaoritie * , that we make the following animadvenaoo * upon their recent Kail way Hail arrangements . We take this coarse , firstly , to show a great portion of oar reader * how we stand in relation to them through those arrangements ; and , secsndly , to call the attention of the proper parties to some excessively bad and injurious gmngeorents now existing , with . u . view to an effective alteration . jjnfh has been said and written in praise of the & 3 vmtages of Railroad conveyance compared with
the old stage and mail co&ch . travelling . Amongst those advantages superior speed , quickness of transit , has always been placed the first Whaterer may be the advantages to passengers in this respect—( and we at once say they axe great and many }—we must state the fact , that , as far as the conveyance of letters and newspapers out of Leads is concerned , Bit new method is far worse than the dd ose , in many , Tery many cases . Meis time ia consumed between the hour of pasting and the boor of delivery ; and in some cases the transit is ranch slower .
We will specify . Io secure the delivery of letters or newspapers in Glasgow , and a great portion of Scotland on Saturday morning , it is necessary that they sheuld be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening { before six o ' clock ! I . ' Thirty-seven hours between Leeds and Glasgow ! and by Railway , too !!! Under the eld mail-eoaeh system , if they were posted by oae o ' clock on Friday aftemooon , they were delivered just as soon as they now are , though required to be posted nineteen boors sooner . So teeore the delivery of letters or newspapers in jfeweastte , Sunderiand , and towns adjacent , on Saturday mondng , it is necessary that thty should be posted in Leeds os ^ Thursday evening befare six
o ' clock ! Thirty-seven hears between Leeds and 2 f eweastle ! To secure a morning * * delivery under the " oia system , " we bad only to post at one on Friday afternoon . To secure a morning's delivery in York and adjacent places , it is necessary to post in Leeds before six o'clock the previous evening : thirteen hours before delivery , though we have a Railway direct to York , and the journey performed regularly many times a-day in eighty minutes 1 Under the " old system * -we could post up to two o ' clock in the morning , snd have the morning' * delivery . Thus the " aeaZemltd ' ' system requires us to post letters from a place eighty minutes distant , full eight hours sooner than we did under the Mail Coach
dynasty ; The folly and absurdity of the arrangements we com plain of will be more fully apparent when we state , that th * bags far a great portion of the places we have above enumerated , are earned out of Leeds by a Mail which leaves between six and seven in the evening ; tint they are deposited at the Normanton Railway Station ( just ten miles out of LeedBj within twenty minutes after that HaQ starts from Leeds ; and that they are left there tiil six o'dotk next mtrtdng , when they are ionveyed forwards to York and Newcastle by Uie Mail whicb started out of London more than an hoar after the said Tori and Newcastle Utters
started from Leeds < . ' . ' It jecure ft morning ' s delivery for letters and newsptpen in Halifax , Hebden-bndge , Todmorden , Rochdale , Oldham , Ashton , Manchester , Liverpool , and indeed all Lancashire , it is necessary tbst they are posted before six o ' clock the previous erasing . ' thocgh we have a railway communication dired , which makes Manchester only two and half hours distant "Under the old regime of " as " mail coaches , we could post in Leeds cp to twelve o ' clock the previous night , and the tetters were delivered in Manchester and the other places we hare named , just as soon u they now are ! . ' Dub-Bo letters were , and are , also conveyed by the same Trail «; the Leeds box for letters was regularly open
till ten at night ; so that Ihe merchants of Leeds and all sending letters are obliged to post thi m fall four haters sooner under the " accelerated' system &an under the old one ! Meed , oat of all the recent Railway Man arrangemants , the public of Leeds derive no benefit from any one , in the shape of accelerated despatch , if we except the Southern Mai ! to London . With rrery other &ail they are worse off now than they were before . That is , they are obliged to post theii letters sooner to secure a delivery at the same Vine in th&monuB ^ TV ** things ought not to be . They call loudly for cbaxge . We commend the fact * we h » T » stated to the notice of the Postmaster General
Were wt required to point out a remedy for each particular etate ef filings above enumerated , we should reply that this is no part of our business . Wt will , however , point out the fact , that a train leaves the Leeds Station at forty minutes past five in the morning , which meets the London and York , and the London and Leeds Mill at Jfonnantan , and received bags from it Qjere , md conveys them to M&n £ h * = » ter . Xow , -we ask Tfhj the York bags and the Newcastle bags , cannot be kept open in Leeds till the c-face closes at ten at night , and be conveyed to Nonranton by this train in the morning ? They would be in time entugb to be forwarded by the very mail which , now carries them , after they have laid in the railway station nearly twelve hours . This arnugeisent would give the people of Leeds full four hoars more for the posting of their letters to those
two places than the present system gives . And , we nay fnrtber ask , why cannot a bag be despatched by the esme Train , with letters for Manchester up to ten the previous night ThU would jrive the people of Leeds four hours more , as far as Manchester is concerned ; and the people of Manchester would be beneitted , in the receipt of such letters , j fully seven hours ! Wi $ h rapeet to the Glasgow district , some more direct sad expeditious mode must be found . The Leeds I and Carlisle iUU wa > timed , SO as to amvs in the I h £ ex place just half an hour after the departure j of the Glasgow Mail : consequently the bags ' . brought by the Leeds and Carlisle Mail had to wait ' either twelve or twenty-four tours before they ' « m ! d be forwarded . ' . ' It is there / ore necessary I to forward letters from Leeds to Glasgow by way o /\ Manchester ! . ' ! Admirable arrangement I Cannot ] this be mended ! ! I

SUHDEBULND , —TEETOTirisii . —On Monday evening , the 19 th instant , a public meeting was held in the Arcade long room , Sunderland , Air . Nicholas Smirke in the chair . After most appropriate addresses from the Chairman , Mr . John Hill , and Mr . Alexander WilsoD , Mr . Williams , who had been specially incited by the Committee of the Society io deliver an % ddxess , arose and spoke at considerable length . He began by briefly glancing at the many enls of intemperance—showed that physically , mentally , socially , and nationally , it wag the destructive source of enormous evils ; that all evil called for a remedy ; that the great and manifold evils of intemperance calied specially for the strenuous efforts of the philanthropist and the patriot for their
sup-! pression . Mr . Williams then went on to point out j the means by which these necessary efforts might be ' successfully brought into operation . He examined ! the different projects of different individuals , for the i removal of the universally acknowledged evils of [ drunkenness . He showed that these projects were I nearly as numerous as the projectors ; that inadapj tation io the necessities of the case to which they i were to apply , were their invariable characteristics . ! Wb - P-re were their trophies ! Where were the refori mations that ihey had effected ! Nothing of the Bort , could be pointed to in support of their schemes . He ! attributed the failure of every effort to suppress i drunkenness , by preventing it in the future and cur-! ing it in the p&s * , to the fact , that they all stopped
j short of total abstinence . No definite , practicable , j definable scheme for the production of a universal : temperance reformation , short of total abstinence , i had eTer yet been propounded . Mr . Williams j then proceeded to shew in detail , by startling and [ conclusive facts and arguments , that total abstinence \ was a remedy . - Indeed , that it was a remedy W&s ! universally admitted . Bus the speaker proceeded | further to utterly subvert and destroy all opposition : —all rational opposition—by mcontestiblj establish-! ing that total abstinence was not only a means for effecting a temperance reformation , but that it was ! the only means , and that it was recommended by efficiency , practicability , and cheapness . Mr . Williams : then went on to establish that the plan of total : abstinence was of universal application—that to 1 carry out a plan of temperance reform which had
| been proved ip be the efibieaf , the only efficient on « , I was a moral daty—that moral duties were « f uni-! versal application—that hence it was the duty of all ' to nnite for the purpose of effecting the declared and attainable ends contemplated by Total Absti-) nence Societies . As further motives to co-operation ! in this great work of moral reform , llr . Williams ' concluded by contrasting ihc superior glory of the ; objects conteroplat&d , and issues to be obtained , by these Societies , with the objects and issues of the greatest warriors that had ever lived , and the most : glorious wars that were ever won . The address throughout , and at its close , was loudly applauded . : Between thirty and forty Eignatures tO the total ; abstinence pledge were obtained . It was announced . at the close that Mr . Candli&h , draper , would address the meeting next "Monday evening .
: HTJIiXfc—Kisgstos Umtt . —The Independent Order of Odd Peilows , Kingston Unity , held therr ¦ first anniversary in Hull , on Moiiday la .-t . In the ; afternoon , a greal number of the brethren , wearing the emblems of the order , assembled in Usbourne-- Etreet , and after being arranged according to their ' respective Locg ^ s , namely , Oiive Branch , Prince Regent , Andrew . Marre ) , Sir Wiiliam Lowthorp , i and Brotherly Lore ; the band Struck up " God ; save the Queen , " aud the procession moved Bl « wly I through the principal Bireets and its environs . Not : a more orderly and respectable procession of the ; kind has been seen in Hall for some tisje , and a | very great majority appeared to be quite young men . i The display oi flags and oanners was very imposing
j and greatly admired , partieolarly the district flag , i which bore a representation of King Edward prci sen ting the Cfcamr to the ancient fishermen of | Hull ; a purple flag , with a full-length portrait of ; that almost inimitable patriot , Andrew Marvel ; and ' a purple silk banner , with the emblem of Charity beautifully painted and gilded . Great attraction j was also created by the first banner , which bore the I design of the "good Samaritan , " and said to be ! presented , by the ladies friendly t © the Kingston ¦ Unity ; and also to the last , on which was glided the \ crest of Sir William Lowthorp , late mayor of Hull ,
j and by whom the Unity is patronised , and before I whose residence the baud played the national air , I &nd the brethren gave three hearty tnzzaf . After I the procession hid returned to Osbourne-street , the i brethren separated , and in the evening dined at , their respective Lodges . Since the formation of ; this Unity , it has doubled its number , and the united stock , of two of its Lodges is one thousand : pounds ! The Order is in a very healthful and ! prosperous- state , and there is little doubt but that ere long the Kingston Unity will 6 pread far and j wide , as its sole object is the good of each , and the good of all who enlist under its banner .
| EDINBUEGH . —There is much talk about the i legality of Micaulay and Craig ' s election ; the general notion is , that Thompson and Loweryarethe legal members . The following article ia from the Edinburgh Evening Post , a Tory paper published j on Wednesday and Saturday : — ? ' Messbs . Macaulet attd Gibsos Cxaig i . f daxgkr . —The qnestion is generally di ^ enssed whether these gentlemen are the ! two legally elected members for Edinburgh , or whether Messrs . ThompEon and Lowery , the Cbartiets , are not entitled to that honour . It is clear from
the term ? of the Reform Act , that in the event of a show of bauds being taken , and a poll demanded by the candidates in the minority , the poll is imperatively enjoined " h shall take place . " In this case , however , one of the Chartist candidates and the proposer of the other expressed their desire that no poll should take place ; but it was then too late . The Sheriff bad only one dnty to perform , to comply with the terms of the act , which left him no alternative , but to proceed to tb « poll , in order to test the show of hands . The mover and seconder , or even a
candidate himself , has no power to withdraw , after his name ia fairly in the cands of the electors . If these viewB be correct , ta » Edinburgh election was determined by a show of hands , and , therefore , Messrs , Thompson and Lowery are the legal representatives . Whether they will iake the necessary steps to establish their right to this dignity remains to be seen . " —So there appears to be a chance of having one of two questions settled : have the Chartists the honor to be the members ! or can they contest elections at the hustings free from the expenoe of going to the poll !

BARKSZJ 37 . — State of Teadk . —Never since the establishment of the linen trade ef this town , has there been such depression . Hundreds of poor men are starving in the streets , and what adds to the misery of these and their families iB , that the channels of charity hitherto open to the poor , seem to be totally dried up . Awfci xm > Disjbessitc AcaDEjrr . —At Park phs , Worsbro' Dale , on Thnrsday noon , as the colliers were coming out of the pit , and when about seventy yards up , the chair tumbled out , and they fell to the bottom , and three of them were killed .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —An insertion of the following statement of facts , in vindication of character , will greatly oblige : — I am a member of ihe National Association , residing at Newport , in the County of Monmouth . On Monday night previous to the day of nomination at Monmouth , we had a meeting , when we had a letter from Dr . Price , stating his intention to come forward to offer himself a candidate , and desiring Mr . Edwards to wait until his arrival at Newport , which he declined , ( thongh the Association had promised to pay bis expenses , ) stating that he
was going on hia own business . Having bailed * person to appear at the Quarter Sessions I started early for Usk . Soon after my arrival there , Messrs . Ed wards and Dickison arrived , and called at the public-house where I put np . They told me they were going to Monmouth , and I said if the trial would be over in due time , that I should be there myself that night . I went to the Hall , and found that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill . On my return from the HalJ , I met Edwards on the steps of the Hall , whom I informed that my business was over . He told me that I might come to Monmouth with him and Dickison . We arrived at Monmouth about two o ' clock . We put up at the Angel , and took our dinner at the large room . After
dinner , Edwards went out to see ( as he said ) Mr . Buttery . He came back in a few minutes , and said that Buttery was at Usk , and that he had a trial there . We went out together , with a view of seeing the town . I met with one of our Association Councilmen , and told him I had something to say to him . I told him that EdwardB was not our man to be nominated , but Mr . Price ; and that I should be very happy for the whole Council to meet , in order that 1 might make known the whole truth to them . This conversation took place before a Mr . Taylor ' s door , who is another council man I was icvited t » tea -to Mr . Buttery ' s , and went , where a great many of the councilmen had assmbled I told them that Edwards had not come there at the request of the association , bat of his own accord
that we had written to Mr . Price , desiring him to come forward as a candidate in opposition to Mr . Blewitt , that Mr . Price had written a reply , stating that he was not only ready and willing to serve the will of the sovereign people if such a man as he was , should be considered by a dear majority of the people worthy of being put in nomination at the next general sale of the nation to represent us . I told them that the council met on Sunday night , at Edwards' house , when and where Price's letter was read . On Monday morning we sent a messenger to Mr . Price , who returned that night bearing his letter , which stated that he would be at Newport on Tuesday morning , and that he wished to see Edwards particularly before he proceeded to MonmOUth in order to know whether tbe people were or *

nnixed enough to return ft Chartist candidate by a show of n * nde . This letter was read in the hearing f Edwards . ' We begged of him to stop for Mr . Price , but he would not , stating that be wanted to see Mr . Buttery . A desire to have a requisition drawn up was made known , and Edwards promised to have it ready by Monday night , on which night we bad a meeting , when Edwards declined having anything to do with Mr . Price . We asked him if he had the requisition ready , according to his promise . He said he knew nothing at alt about it , and would not have anything to do with it . I told the Council that they might fairly see Edward ' s disposiiion , and that he would not only rote for Mr . Blewitt , but that he would also induce every one that he oould
to vote for him likewise ; therefore , thai we had broke all connections with him , and , ' whatever they would do , for them not to nominate Edwards , in the event that Mr . Price should not come forth . The 8 » m 8 night , a puhlie m «« tiaK was called , at which Edwards and Dickison delivered speeches . Edwards proposed himself as a candidate ) , and never mentioned the name of Mr . Price . Here I acknowledge that I ought to have contradicted him ; b ; it , thinking it tie Chairman ' s duty , I refrained . Before the meeting broke up , Mr . Buttery arrived , and I was desired to step back / in order to state to Mr . Buttery what I had previously stated to the Council , which I faithfuliy did , and a letter from the Secretary at Newport
was received and read , stating the same facts as I had done . Mr . Buttery , asked me what was to be done with the letter , whether it would bo beat to Bhew it to EdwardB and Dickison , or not . I said , *• Shew it , most undoubtedly : in order to know what they will say about it . " Consequently , Mr . Buttery took the letter to them at the Angel , and I remained at Mr . Buttery ' s hou ? e . Shortly afterwards , I went to the Angel . The first question Mr . Buttery asked Dickison was , "if he teas prepared to denounce Mr . Blewitt i not personally , but as a supporter of the present shvjfiinq Government . " Ho declared then and there that he would not . The same question was put to Edwards , who answered , nnnesitatiDgly , that he was prepared , and would denounce Mr . Blewitt
as a supporter of a base Government . On Wednesday morning , very early , the Secretary of the Newport Association , arrived with a letter from Air . Price , stating that he was coming unprovided—that ho Bhould not arrive at Monmouth in due time—that they were at full liberty to make use of his name on every requisite occasion . This caused tho Chartists of Monmouth to fear that if Mr . Price should not arrive in due time , he should not hare the majority by the show of hands . Edwards stated if Mr . Price should come , that he would propose him , and that Dickison would second him . These were the last words I heard at the Angel . We went out together , but Edwards , Dickinson , and others went to tbe Mayor on some business unknown
to me ; I proceeded to the Hall , the place of nomination . Soon afterwards I saw Edwards there ; I sat not far from the place where he stood . Before the business commenced , a note was delivered to Edwards , the contents of whioh I knew not ; but soon afterwards I saw one of the hand bills , ( calling on Mr . Price to come forward , ) delivered into the Mayor ' s hands , and another note delivered to Edwards , the contents of which also I knew not then . I heard a voice calling Mr . Buttery ont , when Edwards rose up his arm and said , " Buttery , stop where you are , don't move . " I have seen the last note which Edwards received , which stated that Mr . Price had arrived and desired him to resign and propose Mr . Price ,
as he had proposed in the morning , which he refused to do , ' and wrote with a pencil tbe following reply , " You must do your own work yourselves when tha time cemes . " The last words that'he spoke at the Hall were , that he had given his vote to Mr . Blewitt , for he had no wish to put him to any expeace . I soon left the Hall and entered the Angel , where I saw Mr . Rogers ( Mr . Blewitt ' a great supporter and Republican ) , and Edwards , and Dickieon in a close conversation . As I eutered the room , Dickison told "Rogers that I was a moralforoe Chartist . Mr . Rogers asked me what I would drink ! I answered that I would not drink anything , that I was a teetotaller ; then he requested me to accept of a bottle of soda water , which I did . I heard Sir . Rogers say that he would rather than ten pounds if things went off as they were intended ; but that it was that Buttery ' s" fault . I told
Edwards that he had condemned himself by the last words he spoke in Court ; to which he made no reply . Mr . Rogers then aaid , " let ub go and try to seUle it . Edwards , Dickison , and Rogers went out together , and I was desired to remain behind ; but I soon went out after them . I saw Dickison in the street , though I did not Bee neither Edwards nor Rogers . I left Monmouth , and rode home in company with Edwards and Dickison . Between Ufik and Caerleon I told Edwards that I was glad Mr . Blewitt was obliged to come to the poll after all ; Edwards Teplied , he did not know what to do ; but he supposed be was bound to vote for him tomorrow ; when I exclaimed , "Good God , ooll fot him , what is it you mean )'' When Dickison replied , " 0 , no , there is no need for you to do that , " and the conversation dropped .
I wish to know on what account Mr . Edwards felt inclined to vote again for Mr . Biewitt : is it on account of Mr . Blewitt ' s application to the Secretary of State , to have Frost , Williams , and Jones tried by a Special Commission ? or because Mr . Blewitt came to a certain meeitng , convened on last New Year ' s-day , to intimidate the friends of Frost , Williams , and Jones I oi \ because he left London for Newport the ti » e petitions were to be presented to the House of Commons for the liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all
political prisoners , and returned the following night to vote for Ministers f or for having apprehended him ( Edwards ) on the Queen ' s highway without having any warrant for his apprehension . I defy Mr . Edwards or any other man to point out any legitimate steps Mr . Blewitt has taken either in or out of tho House of Commons , to advance the Chartist cause T Would I vote for such a man ? No never 1 I would rather live and die iu poverty , than I would accept a penny from either a Whig or a Tory , and I am . Sir ,
Yours , &c . Jonah Williams , tailor , Llanarthy-street . Newport , 19 ; h July , 1841 .

THINGS AS THEY ABE . TO THB EDITOB OP THE NOBTHEBN fiTA * . Sm , —The noiBe , bustle , trickery , deception and humbug , so conspicuously manifested by the rival factions during the recent struggle for political ascendancy , having now almost subsided , and aa the public mind is becoming more tranquillised , we , the Chartists , ought dow to attend to our own affairs , and prosecute our warfare against every antagonist power , no matter under what name it be distinguished , that militates against our sacred cause , which has for its object the promotion and security of the greatest possible happiness to all .
The public mind has been too much stultified by the adoption of doable-meaning and unmeaning terms , such as " practical reform , " " extension of the suffrage , " " full , free , and fair representation , " &c , and even the most consummate tyrants that ever trod tbe surface of the globe nave ascumed the name of " Liberals , " while tbe Fox and Goose Club , which consisted of a few discomfltted Corn Law Leaguers , had the effrontery to arrogate to themselves the honourable appellation of " Radical ! Reformers . " During the recent elections it has been proved to the moat sceptical that the balance of power is in eui
handfc Mr . O'Connor has repeatedly stated that to be the fact , prior to tbe recent " appeal to the popular will , " and the factions as frequently laughed at the idea ; but now how stands the matter ? Why , both the Whiga and Tories know , and confess , that- without us they can do nothing . The Whiga ascribe their defeat to Chartist influence , and the Tories know that Chartist opposition to Whig domination has given them , for the present , a victory over their brethren in iniquity . It can no longer be denied that { the despised Chartists can kick the beam on either side , even although " Little Finality" and his adherents have said " Ye Bball have no part or lot in the matter . "
Disputes have arisen respecting the policy and the impolicy of supporting tbe Tories in preference to the Whigs during the recent contested elections . As such di » pnte » have arisen between " good men and trne , "—

aa no prWpte baa been compromised—no blinking of our demand , and so aeriooa breach been occasioned , 1 shall merely uy , a * a looker on , ( having taken no part In the affair , ) let peace and concord prevail fa our ranks ; let ail bickering cease , and let our great school-master ( O'Brien ) , and our unconquerable General ( O'Connor ; , shake bands , and rejoice , with us , that the election movement has shown to friend and foe that we have a power Which must not be trifled witQ . And what servea more forcibly to evince oar power—our moral strength— -is the fact that a vast portion « f out army remained inactive , and kept In quarters , deeming the conflict between the two parties of too little importance to demand their aid .
Now , let not the Tories " lay the flittering unction to their souls" that there is any reaction in their favour ; if they do , they will fiud themselves grievously mistaken ; They have dona nothing to merit popular support .- the expectations of the people a * e not directed towards them ; and were it not for the resolve of the unenfranchised Chartists to evince their strength , and to shew that a Whig " appeal to the popular '¦ . will " could be dealt with according to the deserts of that tyrannical and persecuting faction , the Tories would not have shouted ?• Victory" through the land . Thf Cnartista are now on the vantage ground , and It must be retained ; all minor difference and splitting of fr . irsjnust be laid aside , and a hearty pull , " astwng pull , and a pnll altogether" made for the overthrow of aristocratic domination , and the establishment of the pure principles of democracy .
Surely , t&e " Finality" clique and the Educntfonraongera will throw aside their fiddles , seeing that in every instance where the "ignorant" Chartists have ha * an opportunity of standing side by side with the titled aspirants to senatorial honours , the former have far surpassed the latter in sound sense and close reasoning . Never has the imbecility ' and conmmmate ignoran . ee of both factions been made more palpable than during the present election movements . The masterminds of Wbiggery have dwindled into insignificance ; and the Ciceroes of Toryism have been shewn not one whit
superior to second or third class school-boys , wherever the voice of the self-taught chartist has beentaisedin elucidation of the principles of good government . The science of government is now better understood by our missionaries than by those who are dubbed statesmen and senators . Haifa dozen thread-bare coated Chartist lecturers would be of more essential service to her Majesty and the poople , than any Cabinet that could be formed from college-bred materials . However , as I bare no hope that Royalty will take counsel of men who have been tutored in the school of experience , we must content ourselves with treading at a distance .
Well , I have said we are now on the ' vantage ground , and we must retain it , as every artifice will be made to dislodge us . Every attempt to create division by the introduction of measures of " expediency" must be opposed . Step-by-step doctrines must be manfully resisted , and now that evidence has been given to both factions of our strength , we must be proof against every trick they employ to court our support Our motto Is , ' " ' Universal ' Suffrage , and no Surrender , " and to it we must adhere . Tbe missionaries that have been , or are now , employed have done incalculable good . Let them ge on in the course they have hitherto pursued , and let tho Chartists , generally , stand firm and support them , and ere long , we shall be blessed with the full fruition of our rights .
We want no propounding of new schemes—those only tend to distract the public mind ; our principles ate stript of all ambiguity and the mode now pursued of carrying them into operation is , peaceful , " legal , " and effective , and carries terror into the enemies' camp . Go on , then , in the same track . Let the messengers of political troth go forth as they have recently done , and their efforts must be crowned with success , I am glad when I see old and tried friends working in the field ; and I , this morning , had the pleasure of receiving a letter from Mr . Skevington , of Loughborough , stating his intention of making a tour northwards . The people have confided their interests to his hands on two important occasions—be being delegated to the National Convention , and also to the Political Prisoners' Convention ; and I doubt not but his presence will be acceptable in every town he may visit
As bis letter is short , I beg you will insert it . It is as follows : — " Loughbotough , July 17 , 1811 . DeaU Rider , —I purpose to visit Mr . O'Connor at York , and lecture at a few of the places as 1 go through , to raise the expence ; I have , therefore , taken the liberty to trouble you to make arrangements for Barnsley on toe 20 th , Wakefield or Leeds on the soth , York on the 3 lst ; and I have thought of Hull on the 2 nd , Gainborougb on the 3 rd , and Lincoln on the 4 th , if you think it would be well ; if not , say Bradford , Halifax , Huddersfleld , and Dewsbury . . " Will you have the kindness to adopt that mode you think best , and let me heir from you » "I am to be at Nottingham on the 26 th , Mansfield on tbe 27 th , and Chesterfield on the 28 tb . " I hope you are well in health , and that I shall have the pleasure of seeing you on my way . " Your early attention will greatly oblige ,
"Yours , in the cause of right , "John Skevington . " Now , Sir , allow me to state my willingness to do all I can to assist all who have the like object in view , with my friend Skevington , and that I should deem it no trouble whatever to assist in making every arrangement for him or for any ether advocate of the Cbarter ; bat , unfortunately , I have no correspondence with our brethren ia any of the towns he names ( Leeds escepted ) and , consequently , I cannot address the secretaries of the varieus associations . He knows how , and when , I was shelved ; since then , I have acted indedpendent of every man , though ever willing to aid all to the utmost of my power ; therefore I have no other method to pursue than requesting you to insert bis letter , and to permit me to beg the attention of our friends to its contents . They will perceive the dates and can correspond with llr . S . and make their own arrangements .
I will not advise Mr . Skevington as to his route , as no man can go wrong who goes forth , with the Charter in his hand . Let the Associations see to ibis—it is their business . Youw truly , William Rider . Leeds . July 19 th , 1841 .

repeal and Chartism is Ireland . —We give tl > e following from tho Dublin World . Dor readers will peroeive that . it is from the correspondent of the Ifbrld , in Cork , and it tells a tale of fearful dooming for the factions in ill-fated Ireland .- — " Cokk-tffrom our own Correspondent . j—^ Gur city election has ended , Colonel Chatterton ' a agents having entare i a protest , and Messrs . Callaghan and Murphy are our representatives , notwithitendinf that a ' cannia Scotohmaa' named Carnegie , assured the poor fleeced Colonel that he would at last beat the Popish priests . This election haB civen birth to
strauge ideas , and converted some of our leading men into Chartists , and others into whippersin for the Ministers . Mr . Haves , certainly the ablest man in oar city , was furious for a second repeal candidate , and accused the people of deserting this great question ; he avowed himself ft Chartist , and Mav © & plumper to Mr . Csllaghan , the repeal candidate . 1 fear repeal is * shook * in the * beautifal city / and from thebottom of my sonl I am sorry for it , as I am firmly convinced that nothing but a domestic Parliament will ever make ' Ireland as she ought to be . '"
Signs of the Times . —In the parish of Rochdale , there are at present 1 , 527 empty houses . Tory Ministry . —That with a majority of some eiyh'y , upon the gross returns of the general election over their Whig aptagonists , the Tories should , by this time , have looked iMo their . master-roll , and well considered who would be best calculated to discharge- the . principal . trusts of official power with mo 3 t advantage to tho country and most honour to themselves—was a course which must have been anticipated . Accordingly , several lists were , yesterday , handed about , in certain political sanctuaries in the immediate vicinity of Pail-mall and St . James ' s-street . Two of these we know to have emanated from quarters -with every means and every
probability of being well-informed on the contemplated elements which it is intended should enter into the constitution of the new Cabinet . In the list we quote from , we find the following names , and the corresponding offices respectively appropriated to them : —Others wbich belong to those whom , wa deem less likely to be . called , presently , to power , we purposely abstain from mentioning here . First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer—Sir Robert Peel . First Lord of the Admiralty—His Grace the Duke of Buckingham . Prinoipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs . — The Earl of Aberdeen .
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—Lord Wharncliffe . Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department—Right Hon . . Henry Goulburn . Lord High Chauceilor of England—Sir William Follett . Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies—Kighfc Hon . Lord Stanley . President of the Council—His Grace the Duke of Wellington . The Speaker of the House of Commons—The Right Hon . C » Shaw Lefevre ( whose re-election it is said not to be intended to oppose ) . Secretary for Ireland—The Right Hon . Sir H . Hardinge .
Other officers of State—The Lord High Chamberlain—His Grace the Duke of Beaufort . The Lord High Steward—The Earl of Liverpool . The Master of the Horse—The Earl of Jersey . Her Majesty ' s Ambassador at Paris—Lord Lyndhurst . —Morning . Herald , Wednesday . Miracclobs . Escape . —Qn Thursday nignfc , about seven o ' clock , two children were observed playing in one of the recesses on London-bridge , when the eldest boy , about six years old , climbed on the parapet , aud leaning forward to see a steamer that was passing under , the little fellow lost his balance and
fell over . The greatest consternation prevailed amongst the persons who witnessed the accident , when , upon going to the spot , it was discovered that the boy was lying on the lop of the coruico , which fortunately is very wide . The anxiety that prevailed was speedil y relieved by a working man , named Green , residing in the New Kent-road , who instantly got over the . parapet and rescued the child from his perilous situation . The boy , upon being put upon his feet , began to cry lustily , and ran off towards the Borough . A person who oame up at the time stated he had told the children to get down some time before . ¦
Strange Delusion . —The wife of a tradesman at Peckham has for some timo laboured uuder the extraordinary delusion that she has within her " a ravenous rat . " A variety of means have been used to restore to her the exercise of reason on this point , but hitherto without effect . She has lately undertaken to starve tho frightful tormentor to death , but jt is feared her own . life may be the sacrifice , as it is with difficulty she can be ptavailed on to take food to support existence . Tke medicial men who have examined her aro of opinion that she has an internal tumour , which at times causes pain , which she mistakes for the kicking of the " ravenous rat . "
The Armstrong Liver Pills are recommended as an Anti-bilious medicine , to every sufferer from bilious complaints and indigestio » , or from an inactive liver , and are procurable at all Druggists , and at the Northern Star office . It is only necessary t « see that the stamp has " Dr . John Armstrong's Liver Pills" engraved on it in white letters , and to let no one put you off with any other pills . N .

They are admirably adapted for sportsmen , agriculturists , men of business , naval and military meu ; as they contain no ^ merenry or calomel , and require neither , confinement to the house , nor restraint in diet .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN < fc IRELAND . Friends , —We have read with some little astonishment a letter in the Star of laat Saturday , signed " R . J . Richardson , " and resecting severely on tbe Manches ter and South Lancashire Chartists , iu regard of some money that he alleges is due to him for printing , dec . for the great demonstration in September , 1838 , and for -which , be states , Mr . Geotge Condy and others are likely to involve him in trouble . Now , Friends , our object in thus addressing you is , that we wifiL you to withhold your verdict , as there is & prop *; committee appointed to make all the necessary enquiry Into tbe debt alleged to be due to him , and it is hoped that , by next week , the Committee will have a full report ready for the public Signed on behalf the Tib-street Association , James Wheeler , Chairman . Manchester , 29 th July , 1841 ,
[ In reference to this matter , we have several other communications from different quarters ; some of them following « ut Mr . Richardson ' s appeal , and severely censoring the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartista , for their neglect of duty to him ; others , fsom the tbe neigbbourood of Manchester , strongly denouncing Mr . Richardson , and acquitting the Associated Chartists of all blame . In this state of things , v * shall wait , before inserting any of them , fox the report of the com * mittee alluded to by Mr . Wheeler—Ed . ]
