      TO MR JAMES H . BEILBY . Sir , —In the Birmingham Journal of last week I find the following Lit : — " MR . James H . Eeilby and Mr . Feargvs O'Con-XOR . —A correspondent informs us that , in the books of the readinsj-room Mr . Feargus O'Connor appsari as a visitor , introduced by Mr . James H . Bcilby . The interchange or compliment between tbeiory and the Chartist is curious » nd instructive . " Until I saw the above paragraph I was ignorant of the name of the gentleman to whom I owed my thanks for an act of courtesy . The circumstance to

      which the paragraph refer- ; is of so old a date as probably to have escaped your memory . 1 beg here to remind you that while at Birmingham ( I thiuk in 1838 ) , I ' wished to procure a volume of the Mirror of Parliament for reference , and called at the reading-room for that purpose . Bjing a stranger , I was missing my way , and by chance arrested your attention . I asked you if I could procure admission to the library as a stranger , when you kindly and politely introduced me , and THEN asked my name , for the purpose of complying with a rule which r ^ quTres the insertion in a book of the names of strangers introduced .

      Sir , such i 3 the charge of the polite Editor of the Birmingham Journal , who now has my best thanks fur having afforded me an opportunicy of thanking yon by name tor your courtesy . Tbe Editor informs his readers that you are a Tory ; while 1 assure him that the bare mention of the act of politeness would have convinced all that you were not a Whig . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , Feargus O'Connor . London , April 13 th .

      DURHAM & NEWCASTLE Great Foot Racb for 0 >" e Hodrizd Pounds a Side . — Durham and Kewcastle , or the sporting portion of the citizens of each , have recently been in a high state of excitement in consequence of a match for a race being made between their respective champions , Atkinson of the former place , aed Scarlett , or the u Doctor , " of Newcastle . Thousands assembled to witness the race which took place on Monday , near Chester-le-street . The distance was a quarter of a mile . It was closely and keenly contested for the greater part of the distance , but ultimately Atkinson began to lead his opponent , and finally wos by about five yards . The result was a groat loss and " heavy discouragement" to the " Tyne side" lads , who seemed quite sure of their champion winning .

      WIGAN . —Election . The scrutiny is now over ; the two parties have come to a compromise , each having one m ember . The sitting members are Peter Greeoall , Esq ., Tory ; and Charles Standi&hj Esq ., Whig . ASHBURTON , Devon . —The woollen trade still remains most dismal here ; factories are closed , shop 3 are shut , and no sigD 3 of any improvement . Groups of men are walking the streets half clad and almosi starred . During the last nine months the woolcombers have iave not had three months' work . The prospects of the labouring population are truly pitiable and heart-rending . On Monday ni # ht last several artisans left this their native town for America , among whom many were members of the Chartist Association here , bnt who , on account of the depressed state of trade are obliged to seek employment in other climes .

      BRADFORD . — Opposition to the New Poor Law . —Tuia day is sent off from this town , petitions praying for * total repeal or' the New Poor Law , and a return to the 43 d o Elizabeth , signed by nearly 10 , 000 persons , to be presented in the House of Commons , by John Hardy , E-q ., M . P ., and in the Hou ^ e of Lords , by the Right Hon . Earl Stanhope . Pet'tions also to the same effect , from ihe Ministers of the Gospel , and every township in the Bradford union , have been prepared . MANCHESTER . —During the last fortnight , several reductions have been made by the cotton masters of several firms in this town . In soiuo instances mechanics have been reduced as much as eight shillings—overlookers from four to five shillings—weavers two shillings a pair of looms—and all the hands in the mills in a similar ratio .

      BA&NSI / Ex . Drabbett Weavers .- —A rumour was an \ at early this morning , ( 12 ih inst ., ) that it was the intention of four ot the drabbett manufacturers to reduce wages twenty per cent , upon those goods . A meeting of the weavers took place this alternoon , on the May Day Green , and af : er a commitvee had been farmed , the meeting was adjourned nnrii seven o ' clock ai night ; in tae interval between the afternoon aud night meetings , a dtpu-ation waited upon Me > srs . Pickies , Hydes , Wood , and Frudd , u > ascertain whether it was their determiaation to persevere in lowering the price of

      labour . The answer giveu to the deputation , bj those ^ v -ntlemen , was to the effect that they had no desire to reduce wages , that wages were already too low . aud if the vreavers therestlvcs would not work for o : hc-r firms tor anything kss , they , the masters , woulo continue to pay the old prices . At the sevt n o ' clock meeting , which was very numerous , the following re ? olution was adopted by the workmen — " That we , the weavers of Barusley , ( in public meeting assembled , ) are determined uot to work orabbitts , or any other work , at auytbiag short of the general list prices of the town . '

      CHORUS'S " . —Awfcl Accident . —On Wednesday , April the 6 th , the Rev . " W . V . Jackson , ot MunchcbifcT , delivered a lecture in the Chartist Association Room , on the remedy for national poverty . Long before the time of lecture , the room was crowded to suffocation , and numbers could not gain admission . Mr . J&eteon was received in the most tnthusias-tic manner , and was introduced to the meeting amidst loud cheers . The lecture had occupied about half an hour , and just as he was speaking oi the superiority of the Charter , and the people were listening with the greatest attention , as sudden as a clap of thunder , the beams supporting the floor snapped in ihe middle , and the hundreds of people went down together on the ground floor , a distance of about nine or ten feet . To

      describe the scene that ensued would be impossible . The people were in the greatest state of CGnfusion , whiles cloud of dust ' darkened the place , and nearly suffocated them . The Rev Gentleman ,-who fell upon his fett , Spoke to the people to pacify them as much as possible , &ud told those who were on the top of the rest to get out as soon as they could with as little injury to tho ^ e under them as possible ; they did so , aud the place was cleared without any one being killed . We are sorry to say one man had his collar bone broken , and his shoulder joint dislocated ; another mau ' s thighs -were seriously injured , and a many others were slightly bruised . Mr . Jackson was a little lamed in the arm and foot , and his face was rather bruised . With these exceptions , no further injury was sustained .

Brown-street . —On Sunday afternoon last , there was a members' meeting in the Brown-street ChartiBt Room . Mr . Hargmves was called to the chair . The first business brought forward was relative to the opening of the Carpenters' Hall to-morrow ( Sunday ) , the Council having taken that building for the purpose of Sunday ' s lectures , in consequence of the crowded state of tbe rooms on Sundav evenings .

      owing to the rapid spread of our principles . After a - short discussion , it was resolved that there be only two lectures delivered at the opening , one in the afternoon , and the other in the evening . The next question discussed was as to who should bo appointed to deliver the lectures , every one admitting that there wero likely to be large audiences , and therefore the most prudent to have the best talent for the occasion ; and it was subsequently agreed that Mr . D . Rosa , the Lecturer on Elocution , and now Chartist Lecturer , should lecture in the afternoon , and rhat Mr . William Jones , of Liverpool , and late West Riding Lecturer , should leciuro in the -evening ; . After other business connected with the movement was transacted , - the meeting dispersed .

Dixon , of Wigan , delivered a powerful and instructive lecture to the carpenters and joiners of tho National Charter Association , in their Association Room , Carpenters' Hall , on Friday night , April 8 : h . There will be a lecture celivered there every Friday evening , when all parties are respectfully invited to attend .

      Ma > chister . —A Mr . Kiniston delivered an address m ihe Carpenters' Hall , on Wednesday eveninjf , in support of ihe Income Tax , and concluded by moving a resolution to the tffect , that—" areturn to direit taxation is a return to sound fir . ^ t principles ; that this meeting approves of the charge upon incon e , and would recommend its adoption , if accompanied by a repeal of all import duties upon the necetsanes of life in favour of such com tries as would take our manufactures in exchange , on a fair basis of reciprocity of trade ; but that nothing short of an equal representation of the people will permanently prove a benefit to them . " This was

      seconded by a gentleman on the platform . An amendmeLt declaring all remedial measures useless without ihe Charter was immediately proposed , seconded , and after ' some discussion , carried . It was aho resolve *; , on the motion of Mr . Tillman , " that for the purpose of shewing to ihe country that the Chartii-te as s body are alive to their pledges , this meeting considers it right to distinctly declare , they will support no Government which will not make the People ' s Charter a Cabinet Measure . " A vote of thanks was ^ iven to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed , highly satisfied with the result , by giving three cheers for Frost , &c , O'Connor , the Charter , & . C .

This did not suit the lecturer and his party , who stated that if they persisted in having a chairman and discussion , that there should be no lecture . The

      meeting being determined that they would either hear both sides of the question or none , would not give way . and consequently the Corn Law Repealers not wishing tho people to hear both sides of the question , dissolved the meeting . It was then given out that Mr . Bell would deliver a lecture on the Corn Laws in the National Charter Association Room , and would allow either Mr . Murry or" any other person a fair hearing at the close of his lecture . The people , sfitrgiviDj ; three cheers for F .

The meeting was held in the square , immediately in front of the column or village-cross , from the swpn of which the speakers addressed the assembly . Shortly after seven o'clock Mr Rogers , of Hollinhend , was called to the chair , and opened the proceeding ;* by introducing Mr . Harney , from Sheffield . Mr . H . addressed the meeting at great leuytli , explaining and vindicating the principlea of Chartism , showing , their justice , and the . necessity of their adoption . Mr . Samael Parkes , from Stoffieid , followed , and in an able address supported the view * of the previous speaker , urging his hearers to sign the Natiynal Petition and

      to join the National Charter Asoociatioiii Mr . Harney , seconded by Mr . Parkes , moved the thanks of the meeting to tho Chairm > 't .-: Mr . Rogers replied . He was , he said , but a youne ; man , but beins thoroughly convinced of the truth ' of .- the principles they had heard enforced , lie was determined to do his share of the labour necessary for their establishnient . And no matter what might be the opposition or persecution he should meet , he had registered a vow in heaven , and that vow he would keep , never to flag in his endeavours , or cease to battle with the enemies of i ' reodooi , until he saw the liberties of his country established . The meeting was very numerously attended , and the deepest attention was paid < io the msny statements of . the speakers . An Association was afterwards formed , and a considerable number enrolled , including two

      county voters . The Sturge ; Conference—Mr . Brooke , of Bratiford , one of ; the delegates to the Sturge Conference , passing through Sht-ffield on Saturday , on hia return home , Was solicited by the Council to address the Chartists on Sunday evening ; Mr B . complied . A crowded audience assembled on Sunday evening ^ in the National Charter Association room , Fig Trcel » ne , to hear Mr . B . Mr . Royston was 1 called to the chair ; Mr . Brooke gave a lengthy and interesting account of the proceed iijgs of the Conferencr ; several questions having been asked , and answered by Mr . B ., Mr . Harney rose and said he considered it to be the duty of the Chartists of Sheffield to lose no time in giving expression to their opinions upon the proceedings of the Sturgites ; with the view of testing their sentiments , he had since entering the ineetin *? , prepared a resolution which he would presently submit to ,, them ; they had heard from Mr . Brooke ,

      that all the principles of the Charter had been adopted by the Conference , but the name had been ; rejectedjWhywasthisV The pretence set up was , that while the members of the Conference had themselves no objection to the name , their constituents had , and that to adopt ihe name 0 ? the Charter would be to undo all that had been done , for they would frighten the middle-clasB to whom the name of the Charter was detestable ; this was all cant and humbug ; iCi was not tho name , but the principles of the , Charter that were top odious to the middle-class . If that class thought you would be satisfied with the name , and anything short of the entire principles , they weuld adof t the name to-morrow . It had b ^ en asked " what ' s in a name V—very often everything . '* Words are things , " said Byron , and this holds good of the name of our Charter , he doubted very much whether those who rejected the ; name , would not , when the crisis caine , betray tiie principles

      if the people trusted .. them ; ( Loud cheering . ) Messrs . Lovett and Vincent were of the majority , that had rejected the name of the Charter , and curious enough , these gentlemen / were two of the committee of six working men who , together with six members of-Parliament , drew , up the People ' s Charter , and christened it by that name ; these men had suffered too , as Chartists , and yet they permitted thenwne- —that name made glorious by the persecutiou of those who adopted it , to be sacrificed . It appeared from the statements of Mr . Brooke , that the organisation agreed upon by the conference to carrv out the principles they had adopted , was a modification of the plan of Lovett and Collins , to be re-christened by the high-sounding title of

      "National Complete Suffrage Union . ' Why , if these men adopt the principles of the Charter , do they not unite with the working classes in their organisauon to establish those principles 1 Why have two agitations , if these converts to democratic principles were sincere in their coaversioni- < cheera . ) Bat no matter ; let the people stick the National Charter Association —( cheers . ) He was disgusted with the conduct of those philanthropists and liberals who had talked so much about tbe physicalforce Chartists , and papsed , their vote of thanks * to those who had conducted the agitation for the principles of the Charter , legally and constitutionall y ^ Here was a censure cast upon air those who had suffered imprisonment or exile . He asked were

      Lovett , Collins , and Vincent legal ; and constitutibnal- agitators in 1839 ? Why were they silent while good men and true were censured ? What had this conference done or attempted to do for the Welsh exiles ! or for the victims yet linger ing in prison ? Nothing . The whole scheme was one , to get rid of O'Connor , Leach , M'Dpuall and the other staunch and tried leaders of the people ; hut , thank God , the scheme would miserably fail . Mr . Harney concluded by moving the adoption of the following resolution : — " That this meeting having heard from Mr . Brooke , a reporc of the proceedings of the Sturge Conference , consider the sohemeof agitation agreed to by a majority of that body to be uaworthy the confidence and supportof

      the people . And this meeting pledges itself to stand by the National Charter Asaooiation , and never to abandon either in name or principle , that great palladium of equal rights and equal laws , the People ' s Charter . " Mr . P . M . Brophy late secretary ; to the Dublin Universal SuflErage Association , seconded the ; resolution . In his opinion , the men who rejeoted the name , rejected in their hearts the principles of the Charter . The mere presence of that heart-load of morality , that vile sycophant of O'Connell' s- ^ Tom St eele , at the Conferetice , was sufficient to satisfy him of the honesty of the men who could endure the presence of such a man as him ; this fellow too to spit his venom upon the English Chartists as being phyBicalrfore men ; why Sieele

      himselfcould not talkforfivemihutes without thi'eat oning pikes and eabres . Q Connell called him by way of nick-name the pacificator of Ireland ; he , to talk of not ; joining the ** wild Feargusiiet . ! " there was a very good reason for that , they would not join him—( cheers . ) He called upon them never to Abandon the name of the Charterj it was a glorious name —the terror of tyrants , the dread of knavesj they had suffered for it , they wereproud of it , and he trusted they vvould never yield it to the Sturgeites or any other schemers . He cordially seconded the resolutidn . Mr . Woostenholme spoke briefly in

      support of the resolution . He highly eulogised Mr . O'Connor . The resolutiou was put , and carried unanimously . Mr . Harney moved tho following resolution : — " That this meeting give its hearty thanks to Messrs . Hodgson , Smith , Dewhurst , Brooke , and Burrows , delegates from Bradford ; to Mr . Linney , delegate from . Eccles ; and Mr . M'Cartney , delegate from Liverpool ; for their consistent conduce as representatives of the . ' peoplii ' s principles . " Mr .
