I asked where they proposed holding their meeting , and they told me in a field a little outside of the sown . I then told them not to go out of the way , hut to go through the market place , which "was then in view , and literally crammed with human bein £ 3 . Our procession marched up , "being hj iMs time increased 10 thousands , with tand playing and colours lying ; and , upon the junction of the hostile armies , all took off their hats , and cheered together , the intended assailants-joining in the processlen , and
constituting themost attentivfrporrion of my hearers . After onr meeting , which , I understand , gave general satisfaction , we again fell into line , and msrcaed through the town , where we parted shortly io meet again . On Tuesday , I left Bath to attend ihe meeting at Tower Hamlets , " which locality I had mistaken for Bermondsey—a circumstance that occasioned great confusion j but , notwithstanding , we had one of the most spirited meetings I ever attended is London ; and they "were perfectly £ 3 tisied with the disappointment , upon my promise to address them again in the same place on Monday next , the 6 th instant , at sexen o ' clock precisely .

Manchester . —Cabsekters * Haii . —a discnssion . upon the propriety of amalgamating the land question with the agitation for the Charter took place in the large ante-room of the above Hall , on Sunday afternoon last . The attendance was numerous ' and respectable , and the whole business was conducted "with the greatest harmony , Several persons having expressed their opinions , the subject was adjourned for farther disensaon on Sunday next , the chair $ o be taken at half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon . \ Oh the evening of the same day , the large Hall was densely crowded in every part by » higbiyrespcctable audience . The proceedings commenced by onr numerous and efficient choir singing a Chartist Hymn ; after which , Sir . O'Hisgbs ' s letters to Lord Eliot were read from the Star . During ! the
reading the most breathless attention pervade * the rast assembly , only interrupted by expressioos of the deepest sympathy for a people subjected to the unmerited persecution and heartless enreity so vividly pourfcrajed by Mr . O'Hifigins . Tie Chairman * hen introduced Mi . James Leach , who was received with every posable mark of respect . Mr . Leach commenced by thanking his audience for the kind reception he always met when addressing hi 3 Manchester friends , and proceeded , in a style peculiarly 1 his own , to expose the consummate hypocrisy of the men who , although they call themselves anti-monopolists , and make great pretensions to philanthropy , -are the greatest enemies against which the working classes
hare to contend . He gave a description of j the many stratagems made use of to effect redactions in the price of labour ; and shewed , by arguments ! the * o « t-elaar » nd «> AriQciB « , ioaABothing short ofi the Charter would enable the toiling millions to effectually resist further encroachments npon their only property . He concluded with a powerful appeal to his hearers to enrol themselves as members of ; the National Charter Association , and thereby prove their love for those sacred j > Tmciplea of which hf ; was the humble advocate . Mr . Leach sat down amidst long continued plaudits . We feel proud in having to state that the appeal made by Mr . Leach was not made in vain , for at the dose of the Jeciwe twenty * six persons joined tbe Association .
OVER DAHWEN .-Caxp Meeting at Btill Hrti . —On Sunday last , the Chartists of Blackburn and Bolton held a camp meeting at this place ; and , notwithstanding the day was "very unfavourable ^ tbe meeting was a bumper . It had been previously ! axrrangedtaat the Bolton friends should hold a meeting at the Tillage of Tnrton , on their way , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon ; after which they wonld move in a body forward to Bnll Hill . But owing to ihe very heavy rain , it was found impossible to hold the meeting . The speakers were therefore compelled to put up at the Globe Inn until it was tame io proceed on their journey to meet the Blackburn friends . About one o ' clock , Sol began to show his face , giving promise of a fine afternoon . The
people , therefore , began to prepare for the roadi all their proceedings being narrowly watched by police in plain clothes . All things being ready , and hundreds of people waiting to see them start , Mr . Dixon jumped into a vehicle , and addressed the assembly for about half an hour , and was listened to with the greatest attention , with the exception of a little interruption from a drnnken farmer , who resides at Turton ToweT , and who had been boasting Chai he was the chief constable of Turton . One of the inspectors of the police told him that if ho did not behave himself , h& wonld be under the necessity of having him locked up . This had the effect Of making the man , who an hour before was swaggering that he wa 3 the master of all the police , slink away ,
stripped of all hi 3 pretended authority . . Mr . Qixen told them as the wet had prevented them from holding their intended meeting , he wonld , if it was fine when he returned in the evening , address them ripon the all-important snbject of Chartism and its objects . Having arrived at Ball-bill , it was a phasing sight to see the hardy sens of toil wending their way up the rallies and over tbe hills to the appointed epot were the meeting was to be holden , which was marked out by a flag flattering in the breeze . The people were not a little amused to see the stir amoagst the Cpeace-preseTFers . Police inspectors dxiTjug about in gigs , giving their instructions to the privates , who were all in plain clothes , except ; one who drove one of the gigs . In fact it appeared that
they were afraid that the Chartists were going to lake the mountain , called Black Hill , away on their hacks iibr one of theconnty magistrates had demeaned himself by coming in the character of a SPY upon otter men ' s actions . 3 EJBG DBESSED UP IN THE gabb cp a brobes dows deover . Mr . Walsh , from Blackburn , was unanimously called to the chair , and he opened tbe meeting by giving out an appropriate hymn , which was sung in . grand style . After this he addressed them for- a short time and then introdnced Mr . Mickle , from Blackburn , who addressed tht-m upon the neceshity of Organization , and the inculcating the principle of brotherly kindness amongst each other . He also told the meeting that it was
necessary to have an Executive as a governing head ; but unless they attended to the Organization of their various localities , it would all be to no use . Mr . Mickle concluded with an earnest appeal to them to bestir themselves in earnest in the great work of a nation ' s freedom . The chairman then introduced Mi . Dixon , from Manchester , who said , when he looked upon that vast assembly , he could not for one moment believe that they were all enrolled Chartisis . In this and all other mixed assemblies , there were persons of different opinions , and parties who came loi different objects . Some might come out cf curiosity , and some to ridicnle ; whilst others might come for the more manly purpose of hearing what Chartism was , and thus judge for themselves ;
but there were others who came for none of these purposes , but to watch the speaker ; and , if inl tbe heat of the moment be should drop an unguarded word , to catch that and take it to their employers to see if they eonld make " sedition" of it . He ( Mr . Dfason ) was glad to see mea of this description on his right and on his left ; and also one . for his footman—( laughter ) . He hoped that they -would take heed to what he said , and give a correct account to those that sent them . He was glad to see them there ; but he must say that he wt > uld rather have seen them in their own elothes , than * in the garb of spies . He wouid really , assure them though , that tbe Chartists did not fear spies . Their actions were all above board , and therefore ,
so far as they were concerned , the spy system was useless . But as they were there , and being iibe gnardianB of the public peace , he iioped that they would neither break it themselves , nor allow others to do so . Mr . D . then went into an explanation of tie principles and objects of the Chartists , and ) addressed the people for near two hours . He concluded by calling npon the people to commence doing their own wort , or it would never be done . The Chairman gave ont another hymn , and the meeting separated . When the Bolton Chartists entered Tarton on their way back , the people were avraiting their arrival . Mr . Dixon addressed them , according to promise . The friends arrived back to Bolton be-wixt eight and nine o * clcck in the evening , highly delighted with their day ' s pleasure .

Willises , " That the members of the ConncU of the National Charter Association residing in Brighton , approve of the suggestion in iheSter for appointing a Ccmmitte * pro tern :, at Manchester , for the Victim Fund ; and that the said Committee should be empowered to receive andfdisbnrse all monies in hand ; and we recommend that tbe Victim Fond be equally distributed amongst the sufferers in the Cbanioi cause—such distribution being regulated according to the number of family and actual wants in each case . As soon as . we know that the committee is appointed , we will transmit- a contribution forthwith . " —Carried unanimously .
1 VEICESTSR . —Oil SuDday morning , Mr . Samuel Parkes delivered an address . to a numerous audience , from the lamenlaticiis of Jcremiab- in ibe evening , from Timstby , on "tbe duty of Biahopi" He gap a trn » delineation of the character of the present raisa of dignitaries of the Church , enumerating all the deadly weapons they employ against the liberties of the people .

At a meetibg held in tbe Market-place , on Monday niaht , Jir . J- White in the chair , it was moved by MrTHayneB , seconded by Mr . S . White , and Bupported by Mr . S .

"
NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kydd lectured m the Chartists' Hall , on Sunday evening , * ' on the existing government , and the various suggestions of political economists to remove the existing distress . " He contended that no Bobstantial benefit would accrue to the people without a governmental change .

HAISHACT MOOR . —Mr . Wttliam Dixon delivered a lecture to the Chartists of this place on Friday last . The audience was large , respectable , and uttantive , much more so than usual .

Mills , Buttertrorth , and Haigh , who forcibly expounded the principles of Chartism , and gave the police to understand that their presence was not necessary to maintain the peace , for Chartists sever broke it .
CARLISLE . —MKEtisc OF tub Coekcix op the CHARTIST Association . —On Sunday evening last a meeting of the above named body took place at their room , No . 6 , John Street , Caldewgate ; Mr .. Robert Graham in tbe chair . After some preliminary business ¦ was disposed of , the members of tbe Council took up the snbject of ihe Victim Fond , tbe necsseity of which was warmly advocated ; * after whicn the following tcbolution was moved by Mr . John ftilbertson , and seconded by Mr . John Me Quire , and carried unanimously : — That a collection be entered into , on Saturday evening , Anenst 12 th , in aid of the Victim Fund , and that the money subscribed for that purpose ba plac 3 d in the bands of tbe Treasurer , and be sent off from time to time , or as the General Victim Fund may require . "
This is a step in the right direction , which would have been taken much sooner by the people , had they really known the absolute necessity of it Had a plan , which we laid down many months ago , been laid t . ^ foreMr . O Connor and others at : Lancoster , as it ought to have been , iwe h . a . 've * very TeaBou to believe , that long ere this a well-managed Victim Fund wonld have been in operation . What was our plan ? It was this . That the Chartist Councils ( n every locality , where there ¦ were victims , make a regular and faithful return of the number , giving their names , their wives , ( if any ) and tbe number of their families ; also a lull and particular statement of the circumstances of the various families , and to -what extent they ought to be assisted . This return we proposed having signed by the chairman and
Secretary of each Association , and Bent to the Central Committee , who would see it their duty to make a faithful record of all the returns made to them . Being thus in possession of accurate information , the Central Committee wonld see the necessity of publishing in the columns of the Korifiern Star , a full account of all the cases , the extent of their necessities , and the amount likely to be required T » y the Committee , to meet tboae necessities in such a way p to save all parties involved fiom Buffering anything ; like ¦ want This must now be done without delay , and done too , in that tffactual way which will secure to the Committee in Manchester , the
means of acting with vigour and effect , The wife and family of no good honest Chartist should be allowed to suffer ; more especially when he himself is suffering the worst of treatment in some cold and hninid celL No ; every tking should be done to afford him comfort and consolation , by endeavouring to dispel the cheerless gloom of his dungeon and to calm the perturbation of his troubled niisd , by affording that support which h s circumstances so imperiously demands . Let him see that thosb who h : ve hituerto received support and succour from him , be not allowed to pine in want and misery , and become the prey of tbe cold-blooded master in a Baatile , where
• ' Smiies are scarce ea cooling wells Upon the arid wild I Where frowns are withering as the '' hells " Are to the factory ehild . " We need not pursue the picture any farther , for it is familiar to all thoughtful and intelligent Chartists . The wife of ths patriotic and talented Cooper , is about to be dragged from a sick bed and thrown into the street , because her house rent and taxes are not paid . Ferbid it Chartism ; forbid it every feeling of gratitude and respect -which tbe Chartist body generally owe to this nun ' s able and honest advocacy of their principles . Why has Cooper got aoj severe a sentence ? because be had the boldness and ability to drag the monster of corruption from hia d § n , and exhibit him in all his hideouaness to the world . His able and talented exposure of the doings of the League , are not to be estimated , and ought never to ha forgotten by the people .

"Rebecca" still continues at work . Toll-gates disappear as if by magic . The troops are harrassed beyond measure ; but they always happen to be just where they are not wanted ! and the parties they are out in quest of always appear upon the spot just vacated by the soldiery . The parties who were apprehended , as announced in our last , have all been holden to bail . The main charge that seems to be against them is that of assaulting Captain Napier , the officer . As for the " information" said to have been given by a
" Rebeccatto" traitor , it is held not to be Worth one pin . His wife says h » was in bed with her at the time the Tolgoed toll-bar was demolished ; and which he has hoaxed the police into the belief that he was present at . She also says that he is not quite baked in his upper garret : butso / J aa he may be , the police seem to be softer still . Respecting the present position of affairs we have received the following by the last post on Thursday , from a correspondent of our own , whom we thank for his attention , and trust this is not the last of his favours : —
Swansea—Sm Robert Alarmed . —To-morrow ( Wednesday ) being the day fixed for the re-examination of the parties charged with a participation in the doings of Rebecca , no small anxiety is shewn by the " powers that be , " lest an outbreak of somo kind or other should take place upon that day . We previously had a strong body of infantry ( more than the barracks could accommodate ) , stationed in the town ; bat this powerful force was deemed wholly inadequate to protect tbe liege subjects of u our Sovereign lady the Queen , " agamst . the formidable powers of the all conquering Rebecca . So we have to-day been favoured with a fresh importation , consisting of a troop of the 4 th Light . Dragoons—fellows with long tnustachios and
1 longer swords—and two additional companies of infantry , who look as if they required some Welsh mutton to restore vigour to their exi hausted frames . I was up at Newport last week and saw some " flying artillery , " destined , no doubt , to mow down or to blow up Rebecca 8 daughters , when thep catch them . In short , the whole district is in a ferment . Our worthy Major , honest man , is" at his wit ' s end . A few days ago , some haymakers were returning from their work , carrying a comrade shoulder high , who had actually the hardihood to cry Rebecca for ever ! " But as this was , of course , a species of high treason , the Mayor , it is said , struck the delinquent with a cane , gave him over to tbe fobcb , and afterwards held him to bail . A subscription is going on to enable the party to prosecute the Mayor for an assault . Yesterday I had occasion to call at the police office , and I found those worthies furbishing up old pistols , each with a
face as long as a fiddle , and appearing mortally afraid that some serious onslaught was about to be made .- A lot . of arms have been found in the possession of a respectable person in this neighbourhood , the investigation about which has been strictly private ; but the party has been held to bail . The copper-makers turn out on Monday next ; when I am informed that an attempt will be tried to make it a Chartist strike . Should such an attempt be made I shall certainly be there , and oppose it all in my power , as I think this kind of fun has cost us dear enough already . I forgot to say that the testimony against the Rebeccaites is not worth a straw , as the only witness against them was a man who was quietly in his bed while the \ vhole game was played . At least his wife says so ! Should anything of importance occur tomorrow , I shall send you word in time for a second edition .

Another Sacrifice op Coixjbb Life . —A correspondent at Longton , Staffordshire , writes that socb . mobe lives have been offered up and sacrificed in the Staffordshire Collieries , in the very next pit adjoining the one which devoured nine human beings only the other day ! The cause assigned ia this instance is the breaking of a cog ; we presume in the wheels of the engine . The men when drawn up presented a most shocking spectacle , being broken into pieces !
