      ACCRKCGTON . TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHASTER ASSOCIATION RESIDENT IN THE NORTHERN DIVISION OF LANCASHIRE . Beothkb Chabttsts , —I hare received cheering accounts from different townB visited by our talented lecturer , that the cause of Chartism is rapidly progressing ; that the numbers of the Association are great'y increasing , and that towns in whicb there were no joined members of the Association , are bow forming themselves , and enrolling their names as members of our great National Charter Association .

      This , my friend ? , is what I expected would take oli' -e from agitation and the diffusion of political knowledge amongst the people ; but in order to keep » p tbe fire which has now begun to burn , it is indisperif-a bly necessary that some talented lecturer should Be kept eontifiually lecturing amongst us , for assisting tbe formation of a union of good men and true , that will stand agai&st the betrayal of false friends , * E «( the persecution of oar enemies . You are , my friends , aware that the period for which we engaged our worthy lecturer draws near a dose , and in order to give you an opportunity of re electing him , or choosing some other before his time expires , it is my duty to call a delegate

      meeting , to take place at Blaekbarn , on the 24 th day of October , the delegates to meet » t one o clock precisely , at Mr . Aspden ' o , at the Temperance Hotel , Darwen-street ; and having read in last week's paper , with feelings of the greatest pleasure , the wise and important plans laid down by the Executive , for our future guidance , in getting up an agitation unptralleled in the annals of our country , in favour of the g lorious Charter of our rights , I consider it to be the cuty of every man who has one spark of liberty in his bosom , to come forward at thia most important erifls , and assist the Executive in their noble exertions they are now making , to drive from the hive those drones whicb hire so long lived , upon the industry ef the bees .

      My friends , they have a right to expect it from u ; for it was ourselves that elected them to fill toe honourable , but important and dangerous situation that they now hold ; and being iuen possessed of the greatest courage , honesty , and perseverance , they are entitled to the united and xealous support -of the members of the Association ; and I feel confident that the men of North Lancashire will wine forward and nobly do their duty , and show to the world that the seeds of liberty sown by the immortal patriot , Henry Hunt , were sown in good ground , and hare produced an abandonee of good spirits that ire now ready to take an active part in making our oaatry— ' " Great , glorious , and free , First flower of tbe earth , first gem of the sea . "

      I trust to call your attention to that part of the plan published by the Executive , that states their determination of summoning a Convention to meet early the next year in London ; so that you may be able to instruct your delegates to come to the next delegate meeting that will be held on the 24 th of this month in Blackburn , whether you are able and willing to elect a member to the Convention for the northern division of the county , for I perceive that they hare agreed that two members shall be B « Dt for tbe county . I adopt this course , my friends , to save expenee , lud I nave no doubt you will be able to decide the question without any more meetings upon the subject . I remain , your obedient servant

      Wm . Bbeslet , District Secretary . P . S . Those place ? which have not joined the disfcict may do so by sending either a letter or a delegate to Blackburn , if they request it ; there are several places wanted to make up the Dumber . If Bacup , Bamowlswick , Darwen , Haslingden , or Sibden would send a delegate , they would be able to saa&e arrangements to have tbe lecturer regular at their respective places . If the Secretary for thedisbrict in which Mr . Bairstow lectures , will have the kindness to give his address to Mr . Beesley , Abbeystreet , Accrington , he w ill much oblige him .

      v ADDRESS TO THE MEN OF CORNWALL . Fbie 5 ds ajcd Brethren— It becomes oar duty k > isvite yon , according to tbe country motto , one and all , " to come forward and join in the great national struggle which now is made by men at d women in aupirts of England , Ireland ; Scotland , and Wales , in order that we may gain for ourselvts a fair share of political power , that our wants and our trades may be fairly protected , and that each nan of sound mind , unconvicted of crime , a * the age of twenty-one , may have the power of voting for membere of Parliament ; for , my friendB , it iB not either fair or just that bricks and moriar should be allowed to vote , and that the productive classes be passive slaves , subservient to I&tvs -which they tbemiclves hare no controul over . Remember , you are compelled by law , made to serve tbe interest ^ of ? ota oppressors , to work hard from noon to night or a mere crast , to supply a set of idle drones with money which they extort from you in the shape of taxes , which is caused by class-legialation .

      O , my friends , were you fairly represented in the Commons' House of Parliament , by your own represeiit& . ftes , with power to act for the interests of the country at large ; do you suppose that , as your Berraais , they would act &s at present , if they knew yoa had power over them to discharge them if thsy neglected to legislate for the general welfare ! No , my friends , the country would not be satisfied vrithout they did their duly as men ; therefore , we call On you , in tbe name of humanity , to come forward ana help us to get rid of such a set of devouring drone 3 that keep you in subjection only , by guns aad bayonet 3 and other physical-force instrument ? , and a Frenchi&ed police , to carry out their black designs , to swear away your lireB and liberty if it fuits their purposes .

      You well remember when that most detested . faction , the Whigs , called on you to come forward-in the majesty of your strength , and , by your countless numbers , return them to power , and then they would obtain for you your rights , and redress your grievances . Now , are you satisfied with tb-Mn 1 Yes , my friends , we think we hear your answeru They have had nine years' power to oppress the country , by enacting some of the most base , bloody , and brutal Iaw 3 that ever disgraced a nation . " But the country has manfully done its duty by sending them about their business ; for if ever a set of noodles merited it , the Whig faction did . Instead of redressing your grievances , aad giving to every Trmn liberty , they e » ve you a most abominable Poor

      Law Amendment Act , which punishes poverty as a ! crime , separates husband from wife , and tears the j weeping mother from her offspring . They , have 1 passed a mopt abominable Coercion Bill , established police spies , and made England a model for separate ] system prisons , and provided you with masks . They have added eight millions of additional debt , au i imprisoned 450 of your best men for instructing tbe people how to redress their grievances . Now , my friends , the Whigs have died a most abominable death , and the bell has done tolling . A bolder set of public plunderers have seised the Teins of Government , and think to reign over yon , which will and must add to your burdens , by creating new taxes- new emoluments , and fresh pensions , to reward your late oppressors , wto have spoken evil against you . Now , we ask yon , as men , are you willing to submit to such a state of things , and to >>» . mva ^ nftd fev sneh a set of desperadoes I if "your

      answer is " No . never , " then we entreat yon to come forward and lend a hand , and join the great National Charter Association ; for bear in mind that ¦ nitv is strength , and strength ig power , and until we get that power we must be in the most wretched ftate . We ask yon , as men , are you comfortable in your present situation in Cornwall ! Are your tables ¦ reU supplied , your children well clad , your wives tomfortable ! Is your labour protected 1 If not so , are you willing to stand by , and see your sons obliged to leave the land of their birth , to scavenge through Cuba , Tan Dieman ' a Land , and various other foreign countries , to obtain a living which they ought to demand from the Iasd of their birth as their inalienable right , every day bringing fresh » ews that such a one is no more t If your answer is that job wish to alter your present degraded position , then come forward with the same muted petition as you-did when you petitioned for the mlnanr ef your countryman , Trelawney , which petitjmwaifraated by tfco King .

      TBOWBR 1 DCE , Wilts . —Messrs . Oliver and Clark , met a few of the friends on Sunday morning , for the purpose of reorganizing the Sunday school ; a large number of the young men and women attended and offered their services as teachers . Mr . Oliver explained the best mode of teaching . Superintendents were appointed , and other arrangements made , which will be the means ultimately of establishing a good school upon Christian Chartist principles . In tne afternoon and evening of the same day , two good addresses were delivered by Mr . C . Clarke to crowded and attentive audiences . These and similar addresses will , we hope , have a tendency to allay any unpleasant feeling that may exist among our members . The cause is going nobly on , and its progress can be impeded only by the bickerings and jealousies of those who profess to be its friends .

      DUBUlf . —The cause of the- unrepresented goes on bravely here , and from the letters daily received by Mr . Brophy , we are assured that the principles of the People ' s Charter , are rapidly spreading in most of the large towns in Ireland , and that Dan ' s " shining" popularity is fast fading before the light of tht Norther * Star . The Irish Ukitkrjal Spfpraoi Association met on Sunday last , Mr . P . Rafter in the chair ; the minutes ct tbe last meeting were confirmed , after which the Secretary read from the Northern Star , the report of tbe spread of Chartist principles in Drogheda , and remarked that similar attacks like that which had been made on Mr . Crosaby had beea made on some of the members who are now

      . present . He also stated the reasons which prompted the aristocracy to attempt to stifle the voice of the people . Mr . Atkinson rose and said , though not a member , he hoped be would not be violating any rule by the few cursory remarks he was about to make ; he said it was not often that , workiDg men in Dublin had the opportunity of hearing such truths spoken by one of their order ; he agreed with aU that Mr . Brophy had said of the evils of the Government debt , and that worst of all evils , the state churah , and regretted that all the valuable information which such an Assocation as that was capable of giving to the public should be lost for want of the press . The people of Ireland ( said he ) only want to be enlightened in the principles of the Charter , and they

      would join it in greater numbers than erer they joined the great Father Mathew . Mr . Atkinson concluded by stating that he should consider it to be his duty to give tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association all the assistance he could . ( Great cheeeing . ) Mr . P . Duff said that as an Irishman he felt it to be his duty to advocate the principles of the Charter , in order to create a union of sentiment between the people of this country and England . He concluded a very sensible speech by proposing Mr . John Finn . Mr . Henry Clark read a letter , containing the names of nine persons resident in Sligo , and requesting him to propose them as members . Mr . O'Higging said it must be gratifying to the friends of universal liberty in England , to learn that the caase in which so many thousands are engaged , in and for which so many hundreds had suffered , was at length spreading in this once benighted but now partially enlightened

      'countryenlightened by the circulation of the Northern Star . Mr . O'Higgins also said that , feeling the justness of the principles of the Charter , he waited upon the editors of the Freeman and Register , and stated to them the advantage they would gain by taking up the principle . They declined , and he had no doubt but these gentlemen would yet be sorry that they had not taken it up . He would conclude by stating to them a fact . When Mr . O'Connell made the attack on the Chartist body and on the Rev . Mr . Ryan , our numbers did not exceed eighty , and he now held ia his hand the card of Mr . Finn , the number of which was 502 . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The meeting was further addressed by Messrs . O'Toole , Dyot , Dempaey , and Clarke , on the importance of establishing a free press in Dublin . Mr . Clarke was called to the chair , and thanks were given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated , many , as they went out , declaring— " Now we are convinced that Brophy is no Orangeman . "

      NEWTON HEATH . — The friends here complain of being very frequently disappointed by the non-attendance of the planned lecturers ; this has been the case three times within the last three months . On Monday last , October 11 th , Mr . Linney ought to have been there , but instead of this , he went into the Potteries , and though a substitute was promised , and the people had got together a large meeting to hear him , no one came , and the assembly after waiting nearly two hours , retired greatly disappointed . These things ought not to be . TORS—Mr . Skevington delivered a lecture on the causes of the distress at present existing in this country , in the Association Room , Foaigate , on Friday evening last

      The members of the Female Charter Association meet every Monday evening at Mr . Inglls ' a , newsagent , No . 4 , Collier-gate . Several new members nave been enrolled , and it bid * fair to rival the male association in the union and determination of ita member * . The pollow ino has been received frwn the Secretary of State's office , in answer to the memtrial in behalf of Robert Peddle and others : — " Whitehall , Oct . 8 th , 1841 . " Sir , —Secretary Sir James ( J-iham having carefully considered your application in behalf of Robert Peddie and others , I am directed to expreu to you his regret that there ia no sufficient ground to justify him , consistently with hia public duty in advising her Majesty to comply with the prayer thereof" I am , Sir , " Your moat obedient humble Servant , " H .

      BKAUTBORNE ( STAFFORDSHIRE . ) Mr . J . Capper , of Tunstall , will lecture here on Sunday , at the house of Mr . Pepper , on the right of the poor to a living from the land of their birth . MElKSHAm .-Mr . Cluer , the celebrated Cumberland weaver , has been recently lecturing in this town on the subjects of Teetotalism and Chartism . His labours have been successful beyond those of any other advocate who has ever visited us . The working classes consider him to be , as indeed he is , their best friend . He has shown them that teetotalism connected with Chartism , will infallibly ensure the successful agitation of the latter ; and that to be free , they must become intelligent As the result of his labours , a Chartist Association ha 3

      been formed , and a room , to be used for tbe purposes of a meeting and reading room , has been opened , with tbe most encouraging prospects . Mr . Cher ' s bold style of advocacy—his invincible arguments—his clear and striking illustrations—and his eloquent appeals—have created an exceedingly favourable feeling in the public mind towards Teetotal and Chartist principles . Prejudice of long standing , seems , in many quarters , to have vanished ; and even the unconquerable malice of Toryism has deemed it prudent to be quiet for a season . As an exception , however , to this general statement , we give tbe following : —The Committee of the Teetotal Society already existing here , understanding that Mr . Cluer was a teetotaller and a public advocate

      of teetotal principles , sought to engage his services , and so turn to goed account that gentleman ' s political popularity . Accordingly they made application for their usual place of meeting—the British School ; but the Committee of that institution , consisting of liberal , consistent , and tolerant dissenters , thought proper to show a leetle intolerance , inconsistency , and illiberality , by refusing their room , on the ground that Mr . C . was a Chartist ! We suppose such men would refuse the contributions of an infidel to the Bible Society , were he to offer any ; and even persecute the devil for doing good , were he to attempt it - . —thus absurdly judging of au act by the agent , and not of an agent by the act . Had Mr . Cluer

      entertained the most destructive and detestable political doctrines , yet if teetotalism be a good thing , and he can make more teetotallers than other men , people who are but just able to perceive the difference between a cow and a haystack , can see that to prevent his doing good as an advocate of teetotalism , on account of his politics , would be excessively absurd . It would be about as wise as denouncing honeBty in 1 thief , or humanity in a slavedriver . Mr . Cluer delivered a teetotal lecture in the Chartist-room to a limited audience on Friday evening last , at the close of which nearly twenty signatures were obtained—being equal ia proportion to the numbers present , to at least sixty on an

      ordinary . MANCHESTER , —Mr . Vincent sent a letter laBt week , apprising the working men of Manchester of his visit . Accordingly the town was placarded giving notice that he would lecture in the Carpenter ' s Hall , on Monday evening . At eight o ' clock , there was a numerous assemblage of the hardy sons and daughters of toil waiting his appearance , and shortly after tbe usual time for commencing , Mr . Vincent entered the Hall accompanied by Bailey , Leach , Campbell , and few others ; and no sooner did the " lads" get a glimpse of the little champion than they greeted him with loud and hearty cheers , which were repeated again and again . Mr . Littler of Salford , was called to the chair . Mr . Vincent on

      rising was again received with tremendous cheering , and concluded a flight of eloquence and an exciting address , by not onl y saying that he was the same man as he ever was , but pledged himself to the cause and the people , under all circumstances until death . He gave an account of the rapid progress of the principles of democracy , as witnesssed by himself in hiB tour through the country , and of the downfall of the enemies of the people . He adverted to the differences which have arisen amongst Chartists , and lamented that suoh was the case . He would do all he could to spread harmony , unity , and good will . He declared his opinion that nothing short of the Charter would suit the people . In an able and talented manner he defended the principles of the

      Charter and exhorted his hearers and the members of the Charter Association to be cirenmspect in their conduct , inasmuch as their enemies , the press , and the factions , finding they could not with any show of regard for truth , attack the principles of the Charter , would find a flaw in its advocates if possible , and then vent their spleen by saying that was Chartism . He resumed his seat amid great cheering . Mr . Leach moved that Mr . Vincent remain in Manchester , the Carpenters' Hall to be taken again for him to lecture on that night week . Mr . Bailej seconded the motion , when it was pat and carried

      unanimously . Mr . Campbell moved a vote of thanks and Mr . Murray rose to second it , bat before he did so , he would ask Mr . Vincent a question , whioh was important both to himself and the association . The question was , M Was he , Mr . Tincent , a member of the National Charter Association ? " Mr . Vincent in a loud voice said he was . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Murray then said he had great pleasure in seconding the vote of thanks . Mr . Vincent acknowledged the compliment . Thanks were then voted to the chairman , after which the meeting gave hearty cheers for O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and Vincent , and then broke op .

They then got into the house ( hit wife hairing opened the door ) and took hint into custody . Mr .

      MANCHESTER . —Robberr of Plate and Jewellery . —On Saturday laa , Mr . R . Thelwell , who lately carried on a most extensive buaiaess as jeweller and silversmith in St . Ann ' s-square was charged before the borough magistrates on suBfioion of-being concerned in a robbery committed on his own premises abont seven weeks ago , when property to the amount of £ 9 , 000 was stolen . William Moobay was placed in the dock along with hia , who had been employed as a porter in the establishment . Owing to the singular nature of the charge and the amount of property in question , the case excited the utmost interest , and the Court was crowded to excess . Mr . Thelwell had been made a bankrupt , and the robbery was committed at tbe time tbe

      assignees were in possession of the property . Mr . Saunders , the solicitor under the fiat , appeared in support of the charge . Mr . Thelwell was defended by Mr . Greene , the barrister . Mr . Saunders said the robbery was committed on the 22 nd of August . The assignees under the fiat were chosen on the 22 nd of May , when a person named Norton , a jeweller in London , on behalf of himself and several others , applied to the assignees not to proceed to tbe sale of the property forthwith , but to allow it to remain as it was , merely selling by private contract , to-give the friends of Mr . Thelwell an opportunity of coming forward and purchasing it in one lot . The assignees , knowing that when the property was under Mr . Thelwell ' s control a previous robbery had' been committed , two valuable communion services being stolen , felt that there was some danger , and employes

      a watchman to remain on the premises all night , and afterwards all day on Sundays . He did so for three weeks , and was then clisoharged from further attendance on Sundays , by Mr . Tnelwell'a order , without the knowledge of the assignees . The robbery was committed on the third or fourth Sunday afterwards . Suspicion attaching to Mr . Thelwell , it was found that on Saturday , August 21 , the day before the robbery , he had taken his place by the three o ' clock p . m . train from Manchester to Parkside ( the place of junction for tbe trains from Manchester , Liverpool , and Lancaster to London ) , not in his own name . Thence he had gone to Lancaster , also in a wrong name ; and on being asked to account for this circumstance , first said he had gone to see a friend , and then that he bad gone to see a young woman . He had left Lancaster on Sunday afternoon by the train * whioh arrived at Parkeide in time to meet the seven

      0 clock p . m . train from Manchester to Birmingham , and by that train he bad to proceeded to London . In investigating the robbery it bad been found that a large heavy box had gone by that train from Manchester . On the morning of the robbery , during the hours of divine service , a woman saw two men carrying a box along Halfmooon-street , near Mr . Thelwell ' s ehop . They wore traced into King-street , where they got into a coach that was waiting , and drove to a place very near the house of the prisoner Moobay , in Hulnve . The box could be traced no further than the railway station ou Sunday evening . Superintendent Sawley , of the Manchester police , went to London , and discovered Mr . Thelwell at the White Horse , Fetter-lane . A letter was subsequently received in Manchester from Mr . O'Brien , a Sligo magistrate , accompanied by depositions taken before him , from whioh it appeared that a man named Patrick Rafferty had been charged with

      stealing £ 70 from James Tbelwell , a brother of the prisoner . Thelwell gave a suspicious account of the way in which he became possessed of the £ 70 : and Rafferty , whose sister had cohabited with James Thelwell , and afterwards made a confession , implicating the two prisoners and James Thelwell ( who had been employed as porter by his brother ) m the robbery in St . Anc ' s-square . He said that tbe £ 10 had been handed over to him as his share of the pro-Kr ty , various portions of which had been sold in jrbyshire and other places . The watchman stated that after the robbery a large and ferocious dog , which would not have allowed a stranger to lock it up , was found shut in the cellar . The magistrates said that , without expressing any opinion , they felt bound 10 call on him to find sureties in £ 1 , WM ) each , for his appearance next Saturday . Moobay was also required to find sureties , aud the parties in Ireland , whose evidence has led to this disclosure ,, will be brought forward at the next examination .

      Fatal Railway Accident . —On Wednesday night a fatal accident occurred to the keeper ofa gate near Brough , named Heesom . It appears that as the last train reached the gate kept by deceased , about halfpast nine o ' clock , it being then quite dark , the engineer , a very steady man , and oneof the most valuable of the company ' s servants , found that the keeper had not opened it , and on arriving at Hull he reported the neglect of the keeper , and it was intended that he should be very severely reprimanded the next day . Early in the morning , however , his body was found lying on the line , with hia hand and the back of his head crushed . It is supposed that the deceased had fallen asleep in his box at lhe time that the train was coming up , and being startled by the whistle of the engine , had run to the gate , but had been too late to open it , and had been knooked down and run over by the train . From the wounds of the body it is supposed that deceased must have died instantaneously .
