On the first erening there were counted to be only 150 present , in a room capable of holaiDg 3000 , and on the second evening the doors wer e no ; opened . Mr . Hill , Corn Law lecturer , had » talk to forms and « aa lights . Mr . Beardsall placarded the town list week , announcing that he would deliver a lecture on the Corn Laws . There were about eightj present , most of them boys , and a motion was made and carried for the Charte : — ^ Erely if ours were failures these were doubly so .
SALFOBD .-Pcbuc Meetog . —According to announeemen : by placard , a numerous meeting was neld in the spacious room in the Town Hall , on -Monday evening . Mr . Littler -was unanimously paUea to tie chair . Mr . James Leech was first introduced amidst loud cheers . He commenced •^ jpg t - ae Elements made by Mr . Acland at we Corn Law meeting . The repealers wished to j aase the public believe that had they power they would destroy machinery . The working classes "ere the first in shewing the evils which the improvement of machinery would bring upon them ; when « e spinning-jenmes were first invented , the working people saw the consequences . They turned out 10 destroy that machinery , and for which many were sent to prison , others suffered transportation , and Bany were hung . Because snch was the case at tnat time , the enemies to Chartism infer that . » — ^^ v ) v ** w VMVAUlVw W *^^ M fe ^ A a&jkfaA * * a ^^ w ^ iini «
* ney also wished to break machinery . The poor men did not complain of tho machinery taking their work , but because it took along with it their food tod clothing . The speaker then referred his Kearers w the case of men holding public situations , ' in winch they had been enabled to amass fortunes ; and when arrangements were made to preclude the necessity of them , they demanded oompessatioB , and sne Government , in numerous instances , granted « . Bat when the working man waa superseded by machinery , there was bo compensation for him , except to starve in the street , or leave the land ° r their birth . Mr . Leach then properly answered the assertion which was made by Mi . Acland , relative to the foreign manu-E ^ tnrers wi thdrawing their capital from their present investments in order to grow corn , if the Corn Laws were tafcen off . He next showed the
inconsistency of Mr . Dyer , a member of the League in clammering for a repeal of the Corn Laws , to enable them to compete 'with foreigners , whilst he was himself Bending machinery to the foreigners to beat the English out of the market . The speaker related a case of a manufacturer who made such enormous abatements , that the weavers summoned : him before the magistrates , who , seeing the id justice , decided in fayour of the workmen ; after which , the j masters had a notice printed and posted in the ware- house , which said that no stated price would be given ! for work there- The government who granted 1 ' JtSO .

Stealing a Brass Casting . —On Saturday last , a mechanics named James Anguish , was charged before the Borough magistrates with having Btolen a brass bash from the premises of Sir . Hudson , in Marsh-lane . The man was seen offering it for sale by a policeman , to whom after some evasive answers he acknowledged where he had got it . The charge of felony was not desired to be pressed . It appeared that the man had been some time out of employ , and had hitherto borne a good character . He was remanded till Monday , when the prosecutor not appearing , he was discharged .

TRICKS OF THE "PLAGUE . " Some weeks ago , one Mr . Liddell , a " plague " man , was hired to enlighten the darkness of the Newcastle lads on the Corn Law question . After sundry nourishes of the Gatesbead Penny Whistle , Mr . Wm . Parker , a working man , took the trouble of exti n guishing this rushlight of plaguery , by silencing him and all his friends at the close of his own lecture . A correspondence between them followed , in which the lecturer , referring to the arguments of his Chartist friend , says : —
" Those -whe wish to discuss sucU matters with me would do well to engage a room , and give me an opportunity of meeting with them ; because , when I apply to trustees for the use of a chapel , I apply to . them for tke loan of it to a particular purpose—to the delivery of a lecture ; and if I took upon myself the power of appropriating it to a discussion without their consent , it would be a breach of agreement with them . I trust you see the force of this statement . " To this Mr . Parker said , in his reply : — " You know Sir , lam poor , very poor , and cannot
command chapels , fcc , bnt the working men have a reading-room neat Byke Bar , this I am offered . I have therefore to request you will name any evening which will be most convenient to you On these terms I invite you : You shall be free of expence , —you and your friends shall be protected with every respect . If you are the only speaker , I alone will answer you . If one or more of your friends join in the discussion , then an equal number of mine to be allowed to rep ' . y ; or , if you like it better , I will take you al 3 . I , on my part , engaging to print and post round the Ouseburn and Newcastle , 200 bills announcing the discussion . "

TYRANNY 1 TYRANNY ! TO THB EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAA . Mr . Editor , —Since my arrival here , I have been under the necessity of hearing the most abominable tales of oppression and injustice perpetrated on the working classes . Talk of " one law for the rich , and another for the poor , " it would be an abuse of words to say so in several instances which have come to my knowledge of late , a sketch of which will , I think , do more to convince any working man of tho abjeot state of slavery to which his class has been reduced than a dozen speeches , and will show to the world the abominations which are practised by parsons and magistrates iu the southern counties of ' happy Eugland . " I will now relate a case or two which cannot be outdone in all the annals of rascality ; and as there is likely to be an investigation into the matter hereafter , I shall suppress the names , although I have the whole particulars before me in "black and white . "
The first ease is that of a hawker of cotton goods , who was obliged to send his wife for a short time to live with her friends about seven years ago—be not being able to provide for her and his children . Her friends refused to be burthened with her , she was consequently forced to apply to her parish at Rugby , where she was admitted to the workhouse . Whilst there she happened to take the fancy of a Reverend teacher iu the aristocratic Rugby School , who marked her out as a victim to his amorous desires . The hawker ' s circumstances having taken a favourable turn , he sent money and clothing to his wife and family , with instructions to go to him : not nearing from his wife , he became very uneasy , and
sent a friend to bring her and the children to him ; but they would not bo allowed to go to him . He then wrote to the Guardians , requesting them to discharge his wife and family , as he was capable of supporting them ; she was discharged . But instead of going to her husband she was inveigled to the house of the abovementioned parson as a servant . The man threatened to enter an action against him if he did not deliver him his wife , when the holy man dismissed her from his service , and took a house for her close by his own . On hearing this , the poor man proceeded to Rugby , and was not a minute in his wife ' s house , when the parson made his appearance , and told him that the parish officers would not allow
her to live with him until he paid £ 12 13 s . lid . The man not being able to pay the money , left the town , as the parson told him he would be imprisoned , if he did not go . He then remained away for upwards of a year ; and , on his return to Rugby , found that his wife had a child by his reverence . The poor man felt sorely grieved at this circumstance , and signified his intention of instituting legal proceedings against the destroyer of his happiness . The parson offered him any money if he Would again live with his wife , and told him that he could not find money to goto law with him . The man refused his money and left the house , declaring that he could not again think of living with his wife , but that he
was determined to have justice for the villany of the parson . The parson afterwards sent two of his servants for the woman and went with her to a magistrate to make her swear the child was her husband ' s . The magistrate refused to hear her . Tho man then tried to take his children away with him , when a quarrel arose between him and his wife , for which he was sent to Warwiok House of Correction for two months . After his liberation he again tried to get his children , when another charge was tramped up against him and he was sent to Warwiok Gaol , for twelvt months . After his release , he applied to several magistrates , to the Lord Lieutenant of the countv , and wrote to the Home-office , but received no Bitifaotory " answer . He was told _ to enter an aotion against the Parson , but has not the means , and the reason why I ha ppened to becameacqnainted with these facts was , that the poor man applied to
me to know whether Mr . O'Connor would take up the matter . The Parson , who has thus been the cause of all this poor man's sufferings , is still a Head Teacher in the aristocratic School of Rngby , and the poor man a houseless wanderer . It will thus be seen that not only is there " one law for the rich and another for the poor , " but that the law is used by the rich as a means to protect them in their infernal practices , and give them power to blast for ever the hopes and prospects of any person who shall attempt to hinder them from the gratification of their beastly appetites . I have got a whole budget of facts of this description , which I shall make use of from time to time ; but considering the crowded Btate of your columns , on account of the glorious Scottish demonstrations , I shall reserve the rest for some future number , and in ihe meantime .

TO THE MASONS ON STRIKE AT THE PARLIAMENT HOUSES . Fellow Men , —I have to inform yon that a public meeting of the trades ot Cheltenham was held on Friday evening , for ehe purpose of taking into consideration the strike now pending at the houses of Parliament , which was most numerously attended , and , I do assure you , redounds much to the credit of the tailors , the principal organised body here ; they have exerted themselves to their utmost . The whole of the resolutions were passed without one dissentient . The first " To juBlify the conduct
of the masons in their proceedings ; " second , to carry out by every possible means , a subecription in support of the object . A collection was made at the door . A committee of seven is appointed to prosecute it with energy . Mr . Hollis , an influential Chartist , was appointed Treasurer . A vote of censure was passed on those serfs , who havo voluntarily submitted their backs to the lash of Allen , especially those who hava gone from this town . Throughout the whole of the meeting , a manifest determination to assiBt in carrying out your object was evinced .
The Committee met last evening , and if we continue as we have begun , a liberal support is certain . Subscription-books are issued , and another public meeting is intended shortly . The Committee meet again on Tuesday next , and will continue to meet from that time every Monday and Wednesday evenic £ s . We shall send you money after Tuesday evening . Let us hear from you the particulars of your present position , for there is no confidence to be placed in the public journals , not even the most liberal of them , here . So much for the " liberty of tho press . "
The tailors will , I understand , contribute one shilling each , as a commencement , and continue sixpence per week each afterwards . The cabinetmakers meet to-morrow night , and I have no doubt will fellow their example . You should , therefore , be of good cheer : a handful of degraded Berfa cannot harm you . Arouse yourselves to redoubled exertions , and shew to the public that you are determined never to stand silently by , eye-witnesses of the dearest ties of our nature being outraged . I am , brethren , Yours , &c , Joseph Whitehead . N . B . —I have also to inform you that there are about fourteen masons working in this neighbourhood , the most of whom are not members of your Association , but who have subscribed fifteen shillings to your aid last night .

¦¦¦ ' TO THK KDITOBt OP THE NORTHERN 8 TAR , Sir , —In the 5 / ftf of Saturday , in » letter signed " Mark Orabtree , " I aim very unceremoniously'dragged in as a principal . J will briefly state some of the facts connected with the letter published in the Star of Oct . 2 , ' and signed" O . J . Barney . " ' Mark Crabtree , add , I believe , a relative of his , came into the room and asked me , if Iiord Ashley should come to Dewsbury , and a ^ ebting be got np in fovoar of a Ten Sours' Bill , would I rapport a resolution ? ... I said , I would ; when he asked me if I would pledge myself not to ijatrodate any . other subject- atthe meeting , and engage to preveniS any otmw party from bringing other ineasWe » fo ? wild . My answer was , I should be
happy to assist in bettering the condition of the factory children ; yet if 1 saw that the measures brought forward by Lord Ashley ' would not ultimately benefit th » factory children , 1 should feel myself at liberty to advise such line of proceeding as would really be for the benefit of the poor man ' s child . Oh , says Mr . C . you would introduce your Universal Suffrage system ; . and If that was the Case , Lord Ashley should not come to be Insulted by the mean and shabby humbugs at Dewsbury . ' He s&ld he knew Mr . O'Connor wonld join Lord Ashley in an agitation for a Ten Hows' Bill . Mr . Thomas Wass said he knew Mr . O'Connor would not under the present system ot legislation .
Mr . Crabtree said he had boen told by Mr . Hobson and Mr . Hick , of Leeds , Martin , of Bradford , and G . J \ Harney , they had nothing but trouble with the leading Chartists of Dewsbury . Says he , you are paying poor Harney a paltry 30 s . per week , while I have paid him 45 s . per week during the late West Riding election . This in his letter he flatly denies ; but forgets to have it corroborated by his valiant friend who several times threatened to draw Mr . Wass from his chair , and turn him out of the room if he interrupted Mr . C ; any
more . Now , dear Sir , I will not accept his eompUmeat of villain , which he throws at me and Co ., except it be villany to advocate for equal rights and equal justice to all ; if it be villany to endeavour to raise my fellowman from a state of abject slavery to political freedom , I accept the term villain freely . We know that 30 s . per week Is too little for a lecturer to travel with : bnt Tory misrule and
extravaganca , together with class legislation , has brought the working man to such a state of wretchedness that be cannot support , as he could wish , those who plead bis cause ; and though Mr . Harney may have found it difficult to make his salary suffice , I have that confidence in him that I know he would rather plead the peoples cause on those terms , than prostitute his talents to the upholding of a syBtem which has been a means of reducing the working millions to their present deplorable situation .
Mr . Crabtree wishes Mr . Harney to come to Dewsbury , and give us a lecture on political honesty . I think Mr . Crabtree might as well atUnd at the same time , as bn would then be able to state bow many points there are contained in the People ' s Charter . Hoping you will please to insert the above in your next Star , I remain , Yours , respectfully , John Haigb . Osaett Street Side . Oct 25 tb , 1841 .
