NORTH LANCASHIRE . —Tbe North Lancashire delegate meeting resolved . " That all lecturers desirous of visiting Nerth Lancashire 'for the purpose of lecturing , ate requested to correspond -witii the District Secretary , Mr . Beeriey , Abbey-street , Accrfngton ; for no lecturer wHTbe allowed to lecture in North Lancashire only those who have previously made arrangements with the District Secretary , unless they are especially sent for by those who require their services , and an must have their credentials from the sub-secretary of the places in-which they reside . DUBLIN . —Ibish Universal Suffrage Association . —This Association , which is weekly receiving large accessions of numerical strength , and whose principles are recognised by thousands in Ireland , who , uader the system of Corn Exchange interdict , have not yet summoned sufficient moral courage to enter its ranks , met at its treat rooms 14 , North Anne-street , on Sunday last , Mr . H . Clark in the chair . The meeting was well attended , and several new members were admitted ; amongst them Mr . William Antisell , son of that well-known patriot and personal friend of the "Liberator , "' Counsellor Anti 5 . ll , father of the Irish Bar . After the minutes had been read , and some routine business transacted , Mr . Dyott , who has been elected Secretary , entered
into a graphic description of the late fracas , and subsequent correspondence , which had taken place between the Corn Exchange folk and Mr . Coyne , the hatter . The former had given the latter a fresh specimen of their "liberality" aid love of freedom . A number of burly Repealers had waylaid and beaten the suspected Chartist , kicked him in the abdomen , and laid him stretched on a bed of pain ! a rare specimen of the forbearance and philanthropy of these non-physical-force gentlemen . He concluded a long speech by movingthe following resolution , which was secondeaby Mr . Woodward , and passed unanimously : — " That the Irish Universal Suffrage Association is forced , thus publicly , to vindicate its character from
the foul , false , and infamous calumnies which have been so often and so unscrupulously made against it ; namely that of ' tendering unlawful oaths to the members , and instigating them to tear down priests from the altar . ' That this atrocious calumny has been made by a gang of unprincipled adventurers , insolvents , swindlers , forgers , and perjurers , who have neither house , nor home , and who appear to have no other means of eking out a living , ( until some municipal situations are opened for them at the expense of the citizens , ) , than that of subsisting on the large sums of money which they obtain from their confiding and credulous dupes , under the pretence of Repealing the Union , while their great leader has honestly declared , that he will not
bring that question forward in the House of Commons , until he has the signatures of 4 , 000 , 000 of Irishmen , to a petition for that purpose ; while at the same time it is well known , that there are not 3 . 500 , 000 male inhabitants in Ireland , including new-born babes ! i ! The Irish Universal Suffrage Association , collectively and individually , deem it incumbent upon them to proclaim , that their respect and veneration for the Irish Catholic Clergy is as unbounded , and as sincere , as that of any other society in the universe ; that there are no secrets nor oaths of any kind in their society ; that they do not consider any persons as friends but those who tell to every body every thing they hear and Bee at the meetings of the Association ; that the Association has been founded for the purpose of obtaining by
legal and constitutional means , and by such means only , Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliament ? , Equal Electoral Districts , No Property Qualification , Payment of Member *; and when these blessings are obtained , a Repeal of the Union . " Mr . W . Antisell said he had read over with great care , the rules and objects of the Association , before he had made up his mind to join them : and had found them in perfect accordance with the inalienable right of everv man to a voice in the making of laws , by which he was bound in purse and person . The thanks of the meeting were then returned to Mr . Clark for his impartial condnct as Chairman , and the meeting separated , giving three hearty cheers for the success of Daniel O'Connell ' s Manhood Suffrage . ( Tremendous laughter . )
NEWPORT . —On the 7 th inst ., the Association came to the following resolution : — " That this Association view with abhorrence , and severely censure the conduct of Collins , O ' Neil , and others of the Corn Law League , for their brutal and cowardly treatment of-our worthy and philanthropic friend , Feargus O'Connor ; and we are determined to resist all his enemies , and stand by him till death , considering his enemies foes of humanity , and to the cause of freedom . ' ' NORTHWICH ( Cheshire ) . —Visit op Mb . R . Littles , or Salfobd , to his Native Town , Nohtuwich . —Mr . Littler having been over last
week to visit his friends , and wishing to do as much good as possible , immediately waited on Mr . Dean , and informed him that he would address the Chartists on Monday evening , on Equal Rights and Laws . The bellman was sent round instanter to cry the meeting . At seven o ' clock the large room of the Talbot Inn was densely filled . Mr . Lewis , late of Oldham , was called to the chair . Mr . Littler addressed the meeting for two hours in a strain of impassioned eloquence amidst repeated rounds of applause . An impetus is given to Chartism in Northwich . A vote of thanks having been given to the lecturer and chairman , the meeting quietly
separated . BiKMINGHATtt . — Mb . O'Coxkor ' s Lbctcbr at the Mechanics' Institute . —A meeting , called by placard , took place in the saloon of the Mechanics ' Institute , Newhall-street , on Thursday evening week , Mr . Ernes in the chair . Mr . O'Connor delivered a highly instructive and eloquent lecture , which was received with enthusiastic cheers by a numerous audience . He entered into the question of the La . nd , and explained , in a clear and comprehensive manner , the beneficial results that might be expeced from the establishment of the People ' s Charter , and concluded amidst loud and enthusiastic cheers . Mr . J . Williamson afterwards made some remarksrespecting the conductof the Christian Chartiste . Mr . Benjamin Hill , an active member of the Christian Chartist church , defended the bod ; with which he was connected , and denied that they were hostile to Mr . O'Connor . It ought to be here mentioned
that Mr . Hill acted a manly part in the Organ Gallery at the time that Mr . O'Connor was so grossly insulted , by handing up a note from Mr . White to that gentleman , in defiance of the yells and threats of the anti- Corn Law party . He also corroborated Mr . O'Connor ' s statement respecting the ruffianly conduct of those parties towards him , and at the saiae time cordially supported the first resolution at the late Town Hall meeting . We , therefore , take this opportunity of doing justice to Mt . Hill , at the same time regretting that , in consequence of the short time in which the report had to be got up , it was unintentionally omitted last week . Mr . O'Connor ' s lecture gave great satisfaction to the meeting , and his visit to Birmingham has done incalculable benefit to the Chartist cause , so much so , that thousands are now confirmed in their belief , that nothing short of the Charter can produce any permanent benefit to the nation .
Mr . J . Mayo read and proposed , for the adoption of the meeting , the National Petition . Mr . John Griffiths seconded the adoption of the National Petition , and impressed on them the necessity of union . The petition was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then given to the worthy chairman for his upright conduct on the occasion . Three cheers were given for the Charter , and three for Feargus O'Connor , and the meeting separated . Tea Pabtt . —A splendid tea-party was held in the large room of the New Inn , SL John ' s-street , in
the evening , which was numerously and respectably attended , Mr . Wilke ' s , chairman . The room was tastefully decorated with portraits of Feargus O'Connor , Esq , Robert Emmott , Bronterre O'Brien , and other friends of the people . Tea was served up in excellent Btjle , after whioh an address was delivered by Mr . Georg ? White , which was warmly applauded . Tbt forms were then removed and dancing commenced , which was kept up with spirit until twelve o ' clock . The company then separated , highly delighted with the day ' s proceedings .
Chartist MeBTiNGi . —A spirited lecture was delivered by Mr . John Mason , Chartist lecturer , in the Association Room , Aston-Btreet , on Sunday evening last .

Stewart was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . George White addressed the meeting at some length on the necessity of union and organization amongst the working classes . Several names were enrolled , and after the transaction of some business by the Council , the meeting separated .
Petition Committee . —The signatures to the National Petition are rapidly augmenting in Birmingham . Upwards of twenty thousand signatures have been already appended . The villages in Warwickshire are also coming up ; nearly 300 signatures have been Bent to Mr . White this hist week from the village of Bidford . It is hoped that the other villages and small towns will follow the good example set them by the good men of Bidford . Fbost , Williams , akd Jokes . —The General Committe of Birmingham for the Restoration of Frost , Williams and Jones , held it 3 usual weekly
meeting on Tuesday evening last , at the National Chartist Room , Aston-street , Mr . Startin in the chair , when it was moved by Mr . Green , seconded by Mr . Shaw , and unanimously resolved , " That the best thankB of this committee be considered due , and are hereby given , to Messrs . Mason and O'Connor for their able advocacy of the cause of Frost , Williams , and Jones , &e ., at the Town Hall meeting , on Wednesday evsning last .

Ancient Romans . —On Monday last , the Cato Senate of Order , held its anniversary at the house of Mr . J . Robust , the Daisy Inn , Bramley , when the members and visiting brethren sat down to a substantial dinner .
Bbahley . -A rare instance of good feeling , faith , and fellowship was manifested by Mr . Riehard Farrar , of Bramley , to his workpeople on Wednesday week , by giving them , as has always been his custom , a good dinner . It is evident Mr . F . finds more pleasure in beholding the pleasant and healthy countenances of his workmen than in grinding the flesh off their bones , by the constant reduction of wages , so regularly practised by others of his own class . He remembers old times , good wages , and good fare ; and , as far as lays in his power , he pursues " the old path wherein is the good way . " Would that the practice was more general .

John Raveling , 30 , Joseph Ncviru , 28 , ? and Samuel Vicars , 29 , were charged with having on the night of the 27 th January last , at Tborner , entered the lands in the occupation of Edward Jowitte , Esq ., for the purpose of taking game , and with feloniously assaulting Matthew Braithwaite , with intent to do him some bodily harm . Mr . Bliss and Mr . Whabton were for the prosecution : Mr . Wilkins defended .
The prisoners , along with others , were out on the night in question , and were met by some watchers , who , after having obtained assistance , followed the men , and observed them setting snares ; some of the men were seized , and an assault was committed upon the watchers by the men , to rescue their companions . There was no doubt of the crime having been perpetrated , the only question was as to the identity of the party . Mr . Wilkins made an excellent defence , and spoke of some witnesses that he had to prove an alibi , but whom he never called . The evidence against Rawling was very strong . The Jury found all the prisoners guilty .
The Learned Judge sentenced Bawling to be transported for fifteen years ; Nevins and Vicars to be imprisoned for two years eaeh .

All the avenues and passages in the Castle were crowded for upwards of an hour before the opening of the court , by parties anxious to hear the above trial .

Ashton . under-Lyne . —A public no » eUng was held here on Tuesday evening , in the Charleatown meeting room , to consider what steps were beat to be taken for the preventing of a proposed gaierml redaction in wages , amounting to about ten per cent . Mr . George
Johnson , a celebrated Ohart ' st veteran , occupied the chair . The large mooting room was packed and wedged until not another could be gotten in . Mr . Aitkin , schoolmaster , read an address from the cotton spinners to the manufacturers of Aahton . The address was received with loud cheers from the meeting . Mr . Aitkin followed it up in a short pithy , and sensible address , shewing the evils of reductions , exposing the villany of themaster towards the colliers , and expfttiatihg on the alarming state of the country . He mentioned a master who was then giving more than any of those who had given notice , who reprobated tbeir conduct , and declared it was only through avarice , and therefore uncalled for . The speaker Bat down much applauded . The Chairman rose and said he would give his views upon the matter as to
the line of policy they should adopt In order to expose the doings of the cotton masters . He thought that as there were parties in . th ) a House of Commons who would take up the question , it would not be unwise to memoralizs ParUament , shewing their . condition . Mr . Furrand had told some truths which could not be contradioted ,. truths which ¦ would do a great good to the causo of the people . Several voices cried out strike at once , arid never go in again till something is done . Others asked how many hundreds were already walking the vtreets ? Others cried ou » we can only get seven sbiHIhgs now , and what shall we get when ten percent is taken off ? One party from the body of the meeting recommended an interview with them , whilst others asked who dare do that ? as it would be a sure sign to
be bagged and sent into the streets , therefore they would let the tyrants glory in their own villany . Several voices cried out at the top « f their lungs , that they had been to their mastera , who told them they should not give way in theleast . Indeed they considered them very impertinent for even coming to ask such a thing I Mr . Aitkin rosa in the midst of this desultory conversation , and Bald that dispair had taken possession of their tninds , and they were nearly reckless of consequences . He could not conscientiously advise them to turn out when there was no money In the exchequer to support them . Other towns were in the same condition as themselvM , and so long as tkere were so many in the streets already , and . they had no funds , he thought they had better try if they could prevail upon them to stop the
redaction , as there were none to help them , consequently they would have to -depend upon their : own resources . The dressers , who were better paid and more likely to succeed , have just lost their strugglethe masters had conquered—and every one who was bold enough to face the masters , and strike , had been deprived of situations—left to starve—and , what was still worse , neglected by those who promised to support them . He would only give his advice , leaving them , of course , to adopt what step they deemed prudent He could not counsel a turn-oat when there was no sign of success ; he would rather say , let them meet their mastera in the dignity of men—not be afraid of them , and show the injustice , impolicy , and impropriety of reductions—tell them ( the masters ) that they
knew their rights , and that they had no right to make encroachments upon their labour . After a few such like remarks , Mr . A . sat down ,: Mr . Riehard Pilling said he was informed that there was a notice , in Buckley's Mill , of ten per cent . ; and , at another mill , be had heard , the reduction would take a fourth . If they would take notice of the state of the country , no one could recommend a turnout A strike at Stockport had only just terminated in favour of the masters , which would be , in some instances , three-halfpence in the shilling . Mr . Pilling then showed the reductions which had taken place at Blackburn , Hyde , Burnley , Hull , &c , Ace , and said it only showed what those Cora Law repealitg gentlemen were . One master had made ah abatement of eigbtpence for himself , threepence to tho cutlooker , and one penny for the overlooker ; and the loss had only a shilling per cut for weaving it , at
the best , so thut she had to weave it for nothing . He had no doubt that if the Corn Laws had been repealed , the cotton-mastdrs , instead of taking ten per cent , Would havo taken twenty , thirty , or forty per cent . There was no hope but in the achievement ot their political rights . They would never be protected until they had the vote . They never would work full time again , because there was sufficient machinery to supply all the world , and hell and heaven , too , if they wanted calico . Several others addressed the meeting ; and it was agreed that they , the masters , should be remonstrated with . The meeting adjourned to Thursday Three cheers were given for the Charter , O Connor , Ferrand , the Star ; and Aitkin ; a vote of thanks to the chairman ; and the meeting quietly dispersed ; A copy of > the ' address . 'has ' ; bees , sent to us ; but we are aorry that oar space entirely precludes its insertion this week .

Northern Star-Ojfice , Friday Mormng . This morning's , post has brought us much more intelligence from the scene of the " League" atrocities oq Tuesday than time will allow us -to ' -insert . We give the following communications , and must reserve those of-.. *• An Eye Witness , " and several other parties , for further use .
Mtr&SEB WIXJL OUT . FURTHER PAfLTICULARS OF THE INTENDED ASSASSINATION OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR . ¦ When rogues fall out honest men come by their own . " The Chartists of Manchester and indeed men of all political opinions , feel indignant beyond expression , at the cowardly attack made upon Feargus O'Connor , oh Tuesday last . At first , the thing was looked upon as a mere ebullition of Irish feeling in behalf of Daniel C'Conuell ; and as such things had before occurred in a mitigated form , not much was thought of it ; but since , the
following facts have transpired . Owing to the distinction made between the high and low ruffians a split has taken place , and the whole affair is coming to light . The facts are these . A certain association of Corn Law Repealers ; found the money which wa ? distributed to all who could be hired to do tha work of destruction . The money was placed in the hands of a loading Irishman , who Bella old clothes , and who , from his avocation , is extensively acquainted with his poorer countrymen . He is the individual who was pitched upon on . the : previous occa » eions , at Stevenson ' s-fquare and the Carpenters-hall , to hire the men . On ; be present occasion , however , be paid the forces unequally , giving to gome a
smiling for the job , and a peony for admission ; while others received half-a-crown for their work , and a penny fo $ admission . The thirtee » -penny assassins being jealous of the half-crown assassins , a regular division , has taken place : the thirtecnpennyites crying shame on the foul deed , and declaring themselves O'CONNORITES ; and the halfcrownites justify the disparity , as being picked men , and profess themselves ¦ O'Connellitcs . . . * I have just learned also that the man who first struck O'Connor was to have had £ 5 . His name is Price . So that the whole murder will come out , and be subject of strict and searching enquiry .,, I understand that some of those engaged , bare given Mr . O'Connor afull account of the whole

transaction , and which , when detailed , will make Messrs . Edward Watkin , and others , cut bat a sorry figure before their English fellow-ebuntrymen . The Chartists swear that had the plot succeeded , and had O'Connor been assassinated , that not a stono would now be standing on another in Mauohester . It is utterly impossible to give the faintest idea of the excitement that prevails , as new facts transpire ; and had it not been for the glorious triumph of last night , God only knows- what the result might have been . It is
currently rumoured that Mother attack is to be made on O'Connor to-night at Stockport , but report says that the Chartists there are prepared for the worst . Large bodies of Chartists are going from Maaohester , Ashton , and the surrounding districts . They have now in truth roused the British lion , and bat for O'Connor's judicious speech last night much bad feeling would have been engendered between the English and the Irish . Many of the respectable Irishmen are using all means to rid themselves of the odium , and tbe ruffians appear to be thoroughly ashamed of their job .
By next week I shall have some very important communications to make to you , which , if disclosed at present , might tend to frustrate the ends of justice . : * ¦ : " ' : ' . ; ¦ '¦" ;• : *;** - * . ; . ¦ * : * ¦ ¦ : ' ¦ - . * A Hater of Assassination .

TO THE EDITOB OF THE NOKTHEBN STAR . Sir , —It is now of the utmost importance that you should know of what is going on in this town of the " League ; " and perhaps you may be already aware : of the information I here beg to send you : if so , pardon me for troubling yon at bo late a tiime of the week . The " League" man have determined to proceed with the stopping of the factories ; and , as far 031 have been able to obtain information , the following factories are to atop this week : —Messn > . Stirling and Beckt » n , Lower Moseley-street , Manchester , 1 . 100 hands ; Messn . Fielden and Brothers , Oldham , 2 , 400 hands ; Messrs . Marsland and Brothers , Stockport , 800 or 900 hands . Messrs . Sharp ; RobertSi and Co ., machine makers , dec ., will put all their men on short time on Monday next
Perhaps you will have some advice for those in the factory districts on Saturday . This is a moat particular crisis . The tattle between sieamlords and landlords is speedily coining to a head , and the time is not far distant WHEIN TUB PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO ENCOUNTER both . They themselves are bringing it oni and . upon them mutt rest the responsibility . That auah is the case you have only to read the letter in last Saturday ' s Manchester Times , signed "Ed ward Watkin , " and its distribution in slips among the Irishmen , with pennies to go and upset the meeting on Tuesday evening of the " Uoody traitor , " Q'Coiinot . ' . These are their own words ; but they will yet live to repent or suffer for their dirty and tyrannical conduct npoh this occasion . A Real Democrat . March 10 , 1842 .

STATE OF THE WOUNDED AND MAIMED IN THE BLOODY ¦* LEAGUE
"—ONSLAUGHT ON TUESDAY EVE ? JIN . Qi Our correspondent thu 3 Writes us by Thursday evening ' s post :-rMr- O'Connor requested me to visit as many as I could this morning , in order to ascertain the particulars for our readers , as great excitement and anxiety exists , both in Manchester and all the surrounding districts . 1 st . I went to Mr .: William Swires , hat manufacturer , in Thomas-street . I knocked at the door , and a very respectable young womau opened it . She was then in tears , and her eyes very much swelled as though she had been long weeping . Having Mr . Campbell with me , on learning my errand , she showed U 3 the room in whioh the old gentleman , who is upwards of sixty years of age , lay . ; On approaching his bed , I saw a figure resembling the
shape of a man ' s face ; bur , as for features , they could not be discerned . His face was cut in seven different places , besides several deep pishea in his head . He was nearly black and blue ail over his shoulders , body , and legs . One of his : ribf is broken , and two others so injured , that it was with difficulty the Doctor could tell whether , for a while , they were broken or not . On offering him my hand , he made an attempt to raise his , but his screams were piercing , in consequence of the pain . His wife says every time he stirs he groans dreadfully . He was beaten with Bticks , pokers , and other weapons , thrown off the platform , and jumped npon . Mr . Harwood , in attempting to rescue him , had his head lacerated in four or five places—received many kicks and blows about his body . : ,
2 dd . We were then shewn into another room , where lay a young man , who was the husband of the young woman who opened the door . His name is Tho . Swires , nephew of William Swires . He received his wounds while trying to protect and rescue his uncle . He has manv deep and serious gashes about his head and face ; his arms are black with blown from the sticks , and he is braised besides from head to foot . He would havo received more , only one of the villains cried that " fte had enough . " He could not walk , and had to be brought home in the carriage with his uncle . James Heap and Mrs . Kennedy came home with them . Ho suffers much from his wounds . The sheets and shirt of the un ? fortunate man were saturated with blood . The doctor tells him he will be confined to his bed for a long time , even if hs recover at all .

John Murray is dreadfully : cut and mangled , aud presents a most pitiable and frightful figure . His hand lame ¦ ' ; his eye nearly knocked out ; his head cut in three places ; his clothes covered with blood . The bat which he wore was cut in five places . He is black and blue from head to feet ; and in his shoulder there is a hole which to look at is truly horrifying , mado by a nail which Was in the table leg with which he was struck by one of the bludgeon men . One side of his face is dreadfully disfigured . He is very ill , and will be a long time before he can do any work . He , is upwards of sixty years of age , a sound Chartist , and was acquainted with the O Conndr family .
Although very bad , he say 8 he would lose his life for either Feargus or the principles of which he is the advocate . Whilst he was defending himself , he received a blow which knocked him senseless , during which time he lost or somebody took four half-crowns and a shilling from his pocket . 5 th . Mr . Thomas Railton , member of the towncouncil . Me ? era Fielding , Growcott , and Campbell was with me when I visited this man . On entering the room he looked at us . and with difficulty raised his hand for Us to shake . Oa being asked how he was , he said he was like Mr . O'Connor ; he had got the Eix points of the Charter , meaning his wounds , his cuts , bruises , and his arm broken ; and had also the bump of No Surrender . His arm had been set j and the doctor told him that « ven if he took very great care of himself he would be confined to his bed for threeweek 8 .

Mr . C . Doyle . —His ears , shoulders , and-leg * are bruised very much . Doyle is very lam& and poorly , but can hobble about ; and though Linney was in the midst of all the row , from beginning to end , he is the less injured of the two . Linney was at the meeting on Wenesday evening , but poor Doyle was too ill to come out .
There are many others wounded , but time will not permit me to visit them this week , so as to send an jthing respecting them for the current publication . Tbe following are copies of the placards issued in reference to Mr . O'Connor ' s lecture , on the Repeal of the Union on Wednesday evening : —

The overland mail ! has arrived with despatches from China to the 19 th December ; Cabool , 28 th December , and subsequent reports ; Bombay , 1 st February ; aud Alexandria , 23 dFebruary . The news from Cabool is ofa' -most unfavourable nature . The town had been evacuated after the murder of Sir Wm . M'Naughten , and the loss of many fficers and men , and it was reported that subsequently the whole force had been assailed on its retreat , and totally destroyed by the insurgents Lady M'Naughten and sixteen other ladies remained in the power of the insurgents , and were to be reserved for exchange against Dost Mohammed . ¦'¦;¦ vr .:- ¦¦' - ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦' . } :.:. ¦¦ - ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦¦'¦¦;'¦ •¦
Another account Bays : —• " The news from India by this steamer is most disastrous . Your enclosed despatches communicate all particulars of the fall of Cabool and the murder of Sir William M'Naughten , and the heavy loss in officers and men up to the latest official reports . I have a private letter , purporting to be news of a later date , still more aistressingi from which I annex extracts : — ; ; "By a despatch received on the day of the steamer ' s leaving Bombay , the army in Cabool was destroyed , and only one officer escaped , an assistant-surgeon , name not reported : they made a
capitulation to retire from Cabool , leaving all the sick , wounded , and ladies in Cabool , and Were not molested for two days , when they were assailed by an immense force , and , after all fighting most gallantly , the native regiments gave way . The last seen of the gallant 44 th and Queen's , was reduced to about 156 , still in a body , struggling through the snow , and being : picked off like snipes . Lady M'Naughten and the other ladies were set to grind corn ; they intend to keep them as hostages for Dost Mohammed .

Reinforcements were about to be sent from Bengal and Madras , and were , it appears , much wanted . The hews from the Punjauh , Soinde , and Beeloochistan , and Burmab , was devoid of interest , further than that every thing was quiet . The Alexandria news present nothing of political interest . The Paeba was still up the country , supposed to be at Esneh , and Colonel Barnett had returned to Alexandria . An address from the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce to the Pacha was being presented .
