      JIt Dbab FmE » i » Jr-Xnow . Bit : di ) -Em . to commucicaie to you the proceedings of . tie past week : s freefcwMeh , wI ; Iio » i affectation I may say , astonished even me . In last week's Star , tae report of our meetdap was brought down to Tlmrsd&y night , at Bradford . HOLBECK ( a past op leeds . ) OnFriday night I addressed ihe people of Holbeck . "We were to have metia a large school-room belonging to Mr . Marshall , which he allowed us to use , and for which we did not Mi most heartily to thank him

      ia&anuch as many of his class , aye , and of his inferiors , would have seen us far enough , rather than so far accommodate U 3 . Mr . Irazer was unanimously appointed to the chair . But I should mention , that our numbers were so great that we were oMiged ' to adjourn to an immense yard at the back of lbs school house , which was not only crammed in . etery corner , but the roofs of tha sarrounding houses were also filled . There were many of the Holbeck Republicans , as they call themselves , present j that is a set of shopkeepers , who prefer calling themselves Republicans as a test of

      iheir principles , to excuse them from ta&ing Buy acUTa part in the Chartist agitation . I explained the question of the Lajtd , of taxation , and oi capital and labour , apparently satisfactorily j inasmuch as my audience seemed' to understand every word I spoke , and te esteem it as the truth . Now , ibis Holbeok is a district of Leeds ; and it has become fashionable with agitators who estimate the people ' s patriotism . by the people ' s capability to sappiy them with penee , to speak sllghtingiy of the zuen of Leeds and its vicinity ; while I assert , and "with truth , that in no town in England does a better spirit exist than in Leeds , when the poor understand

      that the preacher preaches for theib good , and kot ? o » xhjeib moxet . The poor have been cruelly ransacked of their little pence—which they ne > er object to paj , when the collection goe * into the Chartist exchequer , instead of into the lecturer ' s pocket . Of this fact , that indefatigable and able lectarer , Cooper , has had ample proof ; he goes to vroxk , sad nerer fails to enroll more mrxabers tfcan any-other indiTidaal , because he takes pr ' nciple as a test of Chartism , leaving psyment to wait upon convenience , well knowing thai poverty withholds many from joining , who would be anxious to do so . I norar met a better set of fellows iban the Hoibeck

      Chartists . I took a vote for the ax points , name and fill , and ^ every ha&d was held up . A vote or thanks 10 Mr . Marshall , for the OSS of his premises , and a T © te la the chairman concluded the business : after which Vfi proceeded with the process of enliiiment , and enrolled an immense number of patriotic recruits . Before I leare Holbeck and Lseds , just one word : Let the leaders abandon their peiiy squabbles , and I will answer for the the soundness of the people .

      TOD&ORDEN . On Saturday evening I addressed the men of Todmorden at considerable length , aad never was so broiled in my life . It is rot necessary to say a word of the patriotism and enthusiasm of th 9 Char * iSsts-ofTodmerden , and district . I met that good and excellent gentleman , ilr . Holland , of Barnley , at Todmorden . A ChaxtL-t shopkeeper was unani-EiousJy called to the chair , and many of the masters sad raidole elassis attended .

      After the meeting , I repaired to my Hotel , where the sons of labour quickly flocked . After we had besn assembled for some time , two most obtrusive , and ignorant , aiid impcrdaent slave-drivers intraded themselves ; the one a largs nusi-sr , and the other a litsle oae in every sense of the irad . One ¦ jras mured SiarsSald , as well as I recollect , aad the O ; her called Chambers . These men came with tie evident intention cf casting ridicule upon ihe Chartists , and with a hope of meet : eg some of their own ElaTes , who -H-cald bs overawed by their presence . ITflev are h- > zh associated Svurgites ; that is , of the

      tew aad ii&proTed Corn Law Repeal Confederacy . TMsfaefeloa , though few , not numbering more than Eeven in Todmorden , give the people msch annoyance . Th ? two persons whom I have D&iced kept me up till three o ' clock in the morning , aad I was not sorry for is j-for , if I mistake not , I admhastered to their folly a c&etigation which neither the one nor Cse other will forget in a hurry . I rejoice that they were act Chartists , as I should be puzzled to defend my party against the charge of ignorance , if such empry fellows belonged to our rank ? . The working jnea were very angry with them and justly so ; as ihe objse-E of both appeared to be to cost all the

      odiam tirej csnld np&n the Ch 3 rtJ £ tS and wording men . generally , and upon Mi . Fielden particularly . Chambers , t ' sat is the young fool , appears to have Bcme deep iurkiag antipathy to 3 Ir . Fielden ; but . the people took good care to let him know , that but for iir . Tieldeu-, all ihe masters in the district would have lowered their wages . This was the sore point ; sad the people saw it . One of Mr . Fielden ' 3 overseers ( Edmund was his Christian noae \ I ferret Ms Eruams ) rebuked Chambers in a most masterly ca ^ mr , for supporting his ignorance with falsehood and impertinence . I trust tirat I shall not again be iniraded apoa by each persons .

      NOTTINGHAM . On Monday morniEg , I arrived at Nottingham at ten o'clock , and instantly proceeded to the Marketspare , where an immense mnltiicde had assembled to form a procession lor Calvertoa .. Here in 2 \ otfegham Wiig and Tory have united against Ihs people . The old Reform Whigs have actually sold themselves , neck and crop , to Wairer , and have bcund themselves in a penalty of £ 4 / 300 to be fcis slave 3 . They have , indeed ! the T 3 tsea 3 Wbiss , who were 50 indignant with the CsErjists last year for joining the Tories for a

      sperJc purpose . This has given a new complexion to tie Election about to came oh . The influence cf the big ones his been communicated to the " small fry , isi Q 3 uy who were pledged to aid us are now filing tf by two ' s and three ' s . Bus be assured as they is-e mznifesUd sach a preference for ToTjI = m that ii = j shall cot ? - cave a belly-fall . Oa the next Rraeral election they shall have two thumping Tories , acd in November they shall have a Tory Ccrporarien and a Tory Major . This is all the Eiiisiaction the people can take , aud this th-y are resc-lred upon taking . Since the two parties , Whig Sid Tory , were first born in this country dorm

      to tLe pretest moment , ttere never was so base , j eo cowardly , so rascally a transaction as ihe com-: premise ecercdiaio by the Wai ^ s of Nouingham ; i and dearly , most dearly shall ihe whole fr . iterant i pay for their TUIacy . I adiress-cd tha people at ; gome length under a scorching ^ un , and then started mproeesaon for Calverton , ( veven miles ) ; and in ; truth the whole population seemed : o be " a stir f the roads wsra 3 ii « aUy covered , aud 2 * every cross j Vr . e localhiss eciitritixted their srre-ums . T , Ti r -n we ! reached Arnold , a Tillage three miles from > o : i ! n » - lam , vre ^ tre joLed by a vast pi ocessiDn from that piace ^ a ^ d marched on to Calvnton , in the suashinsj through ihe rznA villages , a : d out cf sight of the

It is au acrtcnlt ^ ral vil-- ! .-: Erd : <] " > the farazcrs turned out to hear the c- -i : ^ u ? dL-cirir = 3 of Chareistn . I selected for my ^ - ! rc- ? thefiT 3 urite doc-trice of ihe L ^ asne , that E 3 " 2 f £ ^ -i ;? es acd asrfcnHure sbocxd go uaxd is EiN'D ; aid I explained how their practice wa ? at ysr 2 ice with thilr theory , ss they were e ^ ocs-vour-^ --. to esiablu-h ice triumph of inanimate machinery c ? oa ihs ruins of agriculturalists and manufacturer :-. * hich should be alike profitable to the opsrative aad

      the agriculturist . The farmers , for the ^^ tre e , opened their ears to receiys the P ^ ncipits cf Chartism ; and the result of my " ~ ^ -- ^ ess , was to bring the whole population of the surrounding district to hear my address in the eT « i % , frhich was of two hours'duration , and all ° poa the sabject of the Lam > and Manufactures Soing band in hand . I also exposed tho monstrous ^ aeiss and absurdities of the League . Here also 1 took a show of hands for tie Charier ., name and ¦^ i and erery hand was Leia up .

      5 "be ffirmers appeared perfectly to u dersiand my Positions , especially when I assured them that tfce icost wholesome and economical description cl ^ was & direct tax j explaining that if the tei&ni paid , jhe laEdlcrd would neve stick against &iiUQ 2 , Eo 2 ong as the rent could be paid out . of the *« idne ; vrhereae , if he himself had to psy , as j

      legislator , he would take care to inquire into the necessity " of every penny that was paid ^ The arrangements made by Harrison wererery creditable . Nearly one hundred sat down to tea , while several parties were grouped like gip 3 ies through the orchards and grounds . In fact , it may be considered as the Nottinghamshire feast , the whole country being there represented .

      MANSFIELD . On Tuesday morning I started- for MansBeld , and met the procession within about two miles of the town , not the Mansfield procession , but a kidd oi district procession , got up by the Mansfield Chartists-It was truly astounding , and the order that was preserved throughout surpassed all that could have been anticipated by the Committee . The multitude had-swelled to an immense concourse before we reached the town . We paraded every street , and at length reached the Markfit-place , where a strong and very commodious hnstings were erected .

      The Magistrates bad issued orders to the rursls " to appear in smock-frock ? , and to report my speech ; and the awkward squad , the yeomanry cavalry were also in readiness . One of the Magistrates was in the meeting ; on horseback , and I did not forget to remind him of the description of j&stice the people met at the hands of the Mansfield Magistrates , when I appeared , as counsel topresecute the Duke of Port land ' s volunteer drillers and trainers in 18 S 9 . All tie shopkeepers were present , and 1 did nat forget to remind them of the altered state of their banking accounts and their warerooms , although their windows may yet keep up a decent appearance There were a number of soldiers present , who appeared to enjoy the business very much ; especially my assurance to the magistrates , that I would come fifty miles to see a review of their yeomanry cavalry . Bare military I these yecmanry men ' . they are like the Galway volunteer cavalry corps , who had so much to do to mind tbeir riding , that they conld not even answer the General , lest they should fall off while speaking .

      Clark , > ickers , Mead , and Harrison addressed the meeting Eubsequeatiy , and all went off to the entire satisfaction of the assembled tens of thousands .

      SUTTON-IN-ASHFIELD . At four o ' clock , we proceeded en route to SnttoD , and in the course of our -way thither , my eyes and senses were regaled at the sight of the Duke of Portland's agricultural improvements . I saw land that , seven years a ^ o , would not feed a goose , now growing splendid crop 3 of potatoes , wheat , barley turnip 3 , and-clover ; aud I thought of the League and their assurance , that the land vcculd not grgic enough , b ? cat ? se if dees not . Tory , and high Tory though he be 3 give me a Portland in preference to ten thousand factory lords . If a poor man is

      disabled in his service , he is never allowed to want ; while in the service of the slave-owner , the injured are -thrown aside like broken chairs or broken crockery . I fearlessly assert , that if every landed proprietor in England pursued the same course as the Tory Duke of Portland does , and as the lato Earl of Leicester did , agricultural labourers would ba worth , aad Tronic get , £ 2 per week ' , while the population made surplus by machinery , would be taken as a reserve from the masters , and the home trade would be more valuable than ' all the foreign trade in the world . I contend

      for it that two-millions , of &We-bod : ed men might be partially employed by the landlords ; and mind this is slave-labour which I do not advocate , bat I wish to draw a picture . I contend that three millions-of men may be partially employed at £ 2 per week , which wonld amount-to the sum of more than two huudred millions sterling per annum . I contend for it , that withsuta a market , the operative could heifer afford . to gv ? e a shilling a pound for beef , and four shillings a stone for flour , than he could now give a fkrtHiiiff a ponad for besf , or sixpence a sUwe fvr flour . I contend further that the produce which vre

      gave tho foreigner last year for £ 51 , 000 , 000 millions sterling wonld have broughtin the homa market more than £ 100 , 000 , 000 millions sterlings while I also coutend that every trade and profession would be set to active employraent , and that every emigrant , who has willingly banished himself from his native land . wonld , when reformed England and Ireland should thus present inducement , return to their native homes " Within two-miles of Saiton , vre met the procession ; and , with the single exception of Aberdeen , it wa 3 the most striking , lovely , and gorgeops my eyes ever beheld . Sa thought the reporter of the

      Nottingham Review , who sat in front of the carnage ; he estimated" the number at over 30 , 000 . The women dressed in white muslin and black scarfs , and ribbands , being mourning for Holberry , arrested the attention of all ; while the vast number of flags , banners , garlands , and framed portraits , were -luera'ly incredible . When marshalled , the precession looked splendid , and passed in proud array through every street in the town . The treat , however , was reserred for the three last streeta , every window in which were crowded with females waring garlands and small flags , and upon every door

      and window " was a printed motto of some sort or other . There were several triumphal arches across thes-3 streets , and the number of framed portraits , appended in all d : rec : ion 3 , was great . In one ZT-zn ? John Collins w <* 3 carried with O'Connor , Frost , M'Douail , and Oas : Ier , bui ono general shcut of ** tura Collins upside down , " bur 3 t at one s » nd the same time from every mouth . After having passed through this locality , now called Charler-itreet , we arrivc-i at a very spacious and firm hustings . Mr . Fox , a" Chartist veteran , was called upon to preside . Tr > e memorial to the Queen was moved and seconded ,

      and I supposed it , vrhen every baud was held up for it ; after ' which Cid . rk and Mead addressed the meeting , and " all departed to their respective homes highly delighted ; . I subsequently dined with some of the Suiton Chartists at the Old Trooper Inn , where vfe were very comfoitible . I addressed thtm bri < ny , ar , d then repaired w the tent raised for the S-. ires . It was a very beautiful aad tastefully arran ^ da-TrarLig of insmenre hiz ? , and was crammed . W « had many good soEgo ; and though I had determiaed- not 10 sp ? ak any more , an address presented Lv the CLanists , forced me odou n > y legs . At elsrea

      o ' clock , after two most delightful day 3 , I proceeded to "Notricgham , and reached there at two in the morkiu ^ . Aud r . ow for a piece of £ ad news . Beiwceu Mansfield aad Suttoi ; , Wo met that truly good fallow , George Julian Harney , who informed me that h& had ceme for the purpose of bringing me io Shtfn-. ld , to meet the League , at a meeting called for Wednesday-fay tho Mazier Cutler . I at onc-3 consented to f , o » ant * actually left for Nottingham at that Lite hoar , not beicg sure of any conveyance froM Sntton to : he nearest station . 1 gave orders that 1 should bo called ai seven o ' clock , as I

      nndtrstood the first traia for Shtffield started at eight . I -was accordingly called . b " j Mr . E . P . Mead , and when he called me , I requested of him to go and ascertain from where the omnibus Btarted , when , behold I he returned , and informed me that the train had started at a quarter before seven , and that na other would start till half-past eleven , which would be too Jste . This to me was a sad mortification ; for having beaten the humbngs in 1857 , upon the question of the Ballot at Sheffield , I

      should hive gloried in giving the Lesgne the finishing stroke in 1842 . However , I feel convinced of two things—first , that my friends will take the will for lhs deed ; and secondly , that the people have learned to do their busines 3 without me , of and tor themselves . . This must be my excuse and consolation . I long to know the news from Sheffield . To-night I address the men of Nottingham in tho ilarktt-place , and have just returned from a committee-meeting , where I raeticany shopkeepers who

      IiXilCESTEK ,. —RrJKCtioN of the "Politi-Cii Pedlar "' by ths Shakspebea . n £ ! r 7 g . \ D £ . " — Last Tuesday night gave another indubitable proof of the firmness oi' attachment fait among working men to the uncarrupted charter . Purenaiifc to a trumpet-note , by the Rav . Mr . Blood worth , at the meeting of the Anti-Corn Law League , in London , Master Vincent was brought down last . Tu ; sday evening , to "jump Jim Crow" before the complete Suffrage people . The New Hall wbb hired for the Occasion , aud large placards were carried round the town to say that admission would be one penny each and reserved seats sixpence . Crowds of

      ' bhakspereans" w « re as-embled round the principal entrance for some time aftir the hour at whieh it was stated th . 8 " performance" would commence ; but three policemen ( those singular heralds of complete Suffrage ») were placed at the door and admissiou refused . Meanwhile , stragglers of the Stuighes and All Saiuts' . Chartisfs were admifte . by a select door ! At . lei > gth t the crowd were let in , —amidst blov ^ s , k ' . cks , cliffs , yellinga , and confusion almost indescribable . Mr . Cooper a ;] d _ Mr . Beedham scaledtbo platform , and rcaiained there in spite of the lordly iiiibrmaxion . that " that place was reserved for tho corumittee , " and in spite of physical force threats . The Rev . Mr . Mursoll and Mr . Vincent made their appearance , after some delay .

      amidst the execrations of the Shafespereans and tho cheers of the Sturgeites , &a . Mr . Mureoll said Mr . "Vincent had desired him to take the chair , and he ti erefore appeared as the president for the evening . ** I opposa that , " cried Cooper , " and propose Mr . Beedham as chairman . " tk 1 second it , " cried a thousand Shakspereans . But in Vain-were a ' forest of hands held up for Beedham . ; the legitimate chairman of the evening was excluded from his scat by Suffrage gentleznoa , who forcibly held down Mr . Murstll in tne chair , when he had taken it . Mr . Beedhara ( . from Hobson ' s choice ) sat upoa the table . -Mursell , Beedha'i , ai . d Cooper , by turn ? , endeavoured to address the meeting , but the resistance of the opposing parties prevented a word

      beinfe heard . For halt' an hour , fiery altercations took place on tho platform . Cooper and Beedham were as ? aikd by the gentlemen as rogues , rascals , scoundrels , and po forth , when it was demanded by some of the Suffrage wiseacres * ' what ri « ht tb . c Chaitists had to interrupt their proceedings ! : ) Mr . Cooper told them if they had brought Joseph Sturge or Mr . Spencer , they would have been heard with re ? pecf , ba : working men would not hear that little renegzic V . ncent . Cooler pointed his finder at Vincent while he said this , and Vincent looked daggers in return , but said nothing . The crowded hall , meanwhile , was filled alternately with outcries against the " renegide" and " traitor , " with the jovial song ' We'll rally arou ; : d him . "

      As scon as a -word cc-uld be her ^ rd from tho pla-form , Mureell told the people he would sit there till morning ; whereupon Beedham , still mora stoutly , declared '" then ho wouH remain there till the night f&Uowing . " Each uf these announceniekts was followed by cheers . Wine anil cakca and sandwiches wero ihen brought for Mr . ilursell . " Christians ought to remember their brethren , " said Cooper ; at least it was so in the time of Christ and his aposiles . Mursell immediately took the hint and handed Bedham a sandwich and Cooper a biscuit—( loud cheers followed again on all Bides . ) For upwards of an hour , the people amused themselves by singing , shouting , and putting on handkerchiefs in the form of nightcaps , to shew their to

      friends that they wore a ^ much determined stay there ail eight as th ? ms ? lve ? . Tho gentlemen pursued their blackguardly attacks upon Beedham and Cooper on thg platform . Soon aiter ten o ' clock , Mr . Coop ? r , thinking tba time tf ^ s ucw arrived fcr puttiag thb enemy to the route , called to a Chartist , who had a copy cf the Star in his hand , and having ob :-u ' ned it ,. began to read , by a word rt a time , ( echoed by Charles Burbasje , a stanch Chartist , who had scaled tho p'aif ^ rm ; ihe account of the Burnley nc-eiing of shcpk ; ep-r .-. A ihird of the report was not read before the Sturgites , woru out aud extaperated , pushed the little pedlrvr on his legs to bid the audience good night , and ho and the Rtverend Chairman immediatdy " cut their sticks , " followed by the elite of the Suffra&ers . ' The ShakspercDn ? set up a shoui for Tictory , and , with Cooper and Beedham in tb ~ ir raidsi , left the hall

      singing " Spread the Charter , " and " We'll rally around him , " all tho way to their " general ' s" house , where another round of cheers was given , and tho multitude dispersed at eleven o ' clock . Not one word ccuJd be heard from Vincent during the whole time he was in the hall , and he did not make the attempt to be hsard for more than ten minutes . Six polic-c-uien were stationed inside the room , with their backs to the platform , at the boundary of the " reserved seats ; " a circumstance to which Mr . Cooper made such allusions among the suffrage gT . tTy , while they were availing him , as made them gnash their teeih . ThGussuds were outside the hall , unable to gei in , and twenty panes were broken in the hall windows , by stones thrown from without . This meeting has created extraordinary dismay and excitement among the sham-refbrtueiB of all denominations .
