Siephot Bi ? nss , blacking manufacturery and member of the General Council of the National Charter Association , Nun-street , Newcastle , will supply any seaport town in Great Britain and Ireland , carriage free , tnth first-rate Chartist Blacking as low as any in the trade , and will gite one-ttrelfth of the proceeds to the Executive Council in Manchester . PJS . The blacking cannot be surpassed in qudRly ; and any quantity can be procured in penny packets , or otherwise ' , packed in neat bases . _____
Pixdbb ' s Chabtist Blacking . —Thomas Hanson , 24 , Currant-street , Sussex-street , Nottingham , has become retail agent for Finders Chartist blacking \ and he willallow one penny per shilling out of his profits to the Executive . Tai-BO Chabtists complain that their reports are not given at greater length We reeeitedfrom them a report of a meeting held on Tuesday , the 2 &th of December , on Thursday , the 6 th of January , ten days after the meeting had been held , and only a few hours before zee are obliged to go to press with the Cornwallpapers . Mb . N . MoBUHG will feel obliged if any Chartists o Rye , Battle , Winchelsea , Chichester , % c ^ will report to him , by letter , the state of the cause in
their respective neighbourhoods . Sis address is No . ' 21 , AlbUm-sireet , Brighton . la the J-iST Balakcb-sheet , instead of 5 s . being placed opposite Wolverhampion , it should be Wigton . H . Stoskhouse ajtd thb Leeds Chartists . —The list of nominations for the Convention was sent to us officially by the Secretary for the Executive : if auy mistake have occurred it must be corrected through him—we cannot do it . Mb . Ed'waed Clayton and the Chabgk of Dbiwkkskess agaikst Ha . O'Bkieh agaht . — We received by this day ' s f ThursdayJ post a letter signed John Chapman , Joseph Braj , Joseph Rnshworth , William Sellers , Robert
Peel , Andrew Emmerson , and Junes Gledhill . These persons , of course , knew -when they sent their letter that f coming at that period of the week ) it would not appear this week . Jt is such a letter as they have no right to expect any newspaper to insert at all ; but we shall not deviate from our usual course of allowing persons to abuse us in our own columns . The conductor of the Northern Star , whom these persons please to speak of as " establishing a dictator little short of that assumed by the Conqueror of o / d , " has made a constant practice of endeavouring to show 11 fair flay" to every one but himself . His anxiety on this head has caused him to open the columns of the paper to so many communications
abusing its conductor and tmsrepresentmg ftu statemtnts , under colour of some petty complaint or other , that many such persons as Messrs Chapman and Co . seem to have taken vp the notion that every body has a right to abuse the Editor of the Northern Star as much as they please ; and that it is a very serious crime in him to give any explanation of whatever misrepresentations may be made , or any contradiction to whatever falsehoods may be asserted respecting him . We shall give this letter of Messrs . Chapman and Co . in our next week ' s Notices to Correspondents ; * ce shall answer its falsehoods by simply stating
facts ; we shall leave its abuse to answer itself and shall have no more of these " capers" from either Mr . Clayton or his friends , 7 > Tti Pkctj . —We are reluctantly compelled to withhold his excellent letter to Hamer Stantfeld , Esq . for this week . Wuxloi Cook . —We think his communication better not inserted . Let the " lads" go on—lei them not be daunted . Truth must prevail , Edward M'Ewas . —We only received the paper from Mm containing the report of the saintly brawl in the Relief Church by the last post befere going to press . We shall make use of it for our
next . Bkenabd M'Gabtket . —Sis letter in reference to Col . Thompson arrived too late for this week : it shall appear in our next . Pecdeb ' s Blacking . —Soppobtpohthx Executive , AXDTHE GaCSK GE 5 ERALLT . —In OUr last we noticed the patriotic offer of Mr . Robert Lundy , of Mytongate , Hull , to give threepence out of every shilling of his receipts for Finder ' s blacking to the Executive . . Since then we have received the following letter from Mr . Lundy , to which we have great pleasure in drawing attention : —
" Sib , —When I -wrote yen last week , I -was not aware that Mr . Pinder allowed more profit on his blacking *>» " > 4 d . to the shilling ; but I find the profit to be 100 per cent I shall then give 3 d . per shilling , as I stated , to the Executive , and 10 per cent additional , out of my-receipts , to the fends of the HnH Chartists . I hop © other agents will follow the example . " ROBEBT LXTSDT . " We hope so too . Let the thing be set about at once and in good earnest . Surely there is in every piece some good Chartist as patriotic as 3 Ir . Lundy I About it atoned Let every locality hare its agent—let not an ounce of any other b'acking come into a Chartist ' s house—let the sale of it be pushed among other parties as much as possible and the " rent roll" of the Executive irill soon be worth something .
Chabtes Datidsos is dissatisfied with the reason we assign for ihe non-publication of his letter ; thai reason being " no room . " He threatens te cease reading the paper unless we assign a more satisfactory reason . We should certainly deprecate so ' heavy a calamity , as the loss of Mr . Davidson ' s patronage as seriously as ice shall deplore it , if compelled to bear up against it ; but what can we do in so perplexing a dilemma 1 if we assign any other reason , ' tis ten to one but it might be Ies 3 " satisfactory" instead of being more &o . Upon the whole , therefore , we see nothing for it , but to leave the matter as it is ; trusting thai second thoughts may awaken our friend ' s commisseration

OASTtEXL—Welearhfrom a paper-which has been forwarded to us , and which is about to be advertised , that the friends of this gentleman , whose advocacy of the rights of the poor has endeared him to a very large portion of our working classes , are about to raise a subscription in his behalf , the purpose of which will be' best ' explained by the following short extraot from the
paper alluded to : —? The great '' -efforts which Mr . Oastler has made for his country have , however , post him much . No consideration ' s of private interest hayo ever restrained him in his endeavours to fulfil that which he conceived to be his public duty . This great , benevolent , and patriotic man is now the inmate of a debtor ' s prison ; debarred the full exercise of those admirable faculties of mmd and body which are so well adapted to prooara an ample provision for . himself and family . : Ar most earnest appeal is made to those who are attached to the cause of British constitutional government to contribute towards raising a fund for the purpose of placing Mr . Oastler , his wife , and their' adopted daughter , in comfortable circumstances . The money which is raised will be under the control of the
trustees whose names are before mentioned , who will decide on the best method of fulfilling the object intended . " Among the names of the trustees we observe those of Lord Feveraham , Sir George Sinclair , Bart ., Sco . There is little doubt , taking into consideration the exertions of Mr . Oastler to benefit the condition of the factory children , the disinterestedness of those exertionsi and the many affluent and zealous admirers he has among all classes of politicians , that the subscription will realise the expectations of tho most sanguine of his friends .--Morning ' Herald .

White entered at great length into the attempt * which were . made tosplit up / jbe CfiaJrtiai body , oeder various pretences . He maintained tbat the Cora Law repealers the national Chartist , and other parties which were endeavouring to force themselves into existence , . were no other than their old and
, birter ; i , enemies , the Whiga under a maski He next adverted to a paper published by Hetherington of London ; purporting : to bo the organ of . a National Association , the iksi number of which cotttaiiaedaii att » ck on Air . O'Connor , for the efate-; ment which he made : whilst in > Scotland relative to the * New Move" plotters . "Bhat documesk called on Mr . O'Connor for proofs of that which wa 3 as xlear as the eun . at noonday . Ho could give proof sufficient of the paUry intrigues- of Hether « gton , Brewster , Lovett , and Co ., for there was hardly atown in England or Scotland , where there was not a few empty-headed , paltry Bhop-boys , who- were so puffed up with their own importwice , and so full of coftceit , as to suppose that everythins which was
done by the working classes ought first to receive their sanction * When those parties were exposed , fc ) ujr deolaredthey * rere wronged , and calledfor proofs , bnc they were like moles—they worked underground . Their secret workings could hftfdly be-traced , were it not for the heaps of dirt which they continually turned ap as an ; evidence of their industry . He denounced the party as a cheat on the publio , for when he was in London there was not above thirtif of the ?* new move" ihen ( or rather shop ladsV tomaintain the cause of humbug . He thought the real originators of these doings were Home , Warburtonl Molesworth , Plaee and Co ., who supplied the money to the clique in London and elsewhere for ; the purpose of dome all in their D 6 we * to the
present orgams » tion , Trhioh was constructed in stich a manner as to ^ preclude the possibility of any Wrson holding office of aiy descripdon against the will of the Chartist body . Some of them had expressed a wish to see local AOrganiaations . - 'instead Of the present national one ; under a opposition that n would W more safe , but a moment ' s obneideratiou would BatiBfy any reasonable' being on that score , for under aloe . al ^^ organization they could not jpossibly employ leoturers as they did ; besides a few men in any town might , under the local system , do 6 erious injury to the cause . He went ; on at great length to shew . the superiority of the National Charter . Assooiatioa over , any other plan which had 1 beea
previously in existence , and informed the meeting that they were about receiving some help from' an uatxpected quarter , which would enable the National Charter Association in Birmingham , to raise ite head higher than ever . He next adverted to » speech made by Mr . Joseph Sturge , at a late meeting in Birmingham , in vrhich he rejoiced at the deoline of the physj ' cal-foree party , and after exposlog-tteB sophistry of Sturge and other sham-Chartists , he concluded amidst general applause . The chairman and others ; afterwards addressedthe meeting , after which notice was given that a new council would be nominated on the . following evening ; after which the meeting separated . '
Monday EyBNiNo .-rThe usual meeting of members of the National Charter Assoeiation was held at their room , FreemanrStreet , on Monday evening Mr . Chatlbs Ashion in the chair . The Chairman , after a short address . introduced Mr . George White to address the meejthig . Mr . White addressed the assembly on the poverty which pervaded the countryj and exposed the rottenness of our glorious Constitution . He showed up the fallacyJof the proposed emigration plan , and pointed but the People ' s Charter aa the onl y ¦ paneeea for thei manifold evilg under which the nation laboured ; He traced the conduct of Whigs and Tories , and showed that a middle-class Government was one of the most intolerable curses that xsould afflict a nation ; as a proof of which j he compared the extreme wretchedness of the labouring population of Great Britain with the inhabitants of those countries who were
living , under what was termed a despotic Government , and stated his conviction that the people of Great Britain would ; ere lone , have real liberty , or an open and undisguised despotism . He appealed to their love of justice and humanity , and honed that all who were determined to obtain freedom would enrol their names in . the National Charter Association . The Secretary ( Mr . Creswell ) then read the mihates of the last Council meeting ; after which , about-sixteen persons were nominated as members of the next Council , and a ballot appointed to take place on Monday eyenirig next , at which timeevery member is requested to attend .
