O'CONNOR , EXTRAORDINARY OVERLAND DISPATCH
FROM YORK . We hare this week had an Orerland Mail from &e far country of Dungeon-land . "We do no * think jj nMersary to be very precise in pointing out th <; fjfl . - lei Muter Phippt find that out as he can . £ nosgh , that we have thereby received voluminous ^ sjpiKhes from our Ambassador at the High Cour : of petty vengeance ; some of which will be found in pli present dumber , and the rest shall appear in due season . We need not claim attention from our readers to whatever comes from O'Cc ^ . vob ' s pen , Viej we would point especially to the ingenious
reason for submitting his improved sty . e to authora-Uiire criticism , given as the P . S . of a letter to the Editor of this paper . This is not badly pv . t . In truth , it is most ludicrous that O'Coxxos should be olligsd to address us by stealth , in the teeth of crcr advertisement and rsview of a periodical jTWedly published for , and edited by , another poiiacal prisoner at this present time . Do not let »> be mistaken : we find no fault with the " privile g e . ) allowed to Mr . Stephens , and other political " offenders "—but we do protest against the paltry individual exception of O'Cowob , as monstrous and contemptible beyond expression .
We feel quits certain that the friends of freedom KOI be glad to see the use mica by the captive of the leisure which his tj rants have afforded him . There is one thing ia his long letter which we Tegrel , and from which we decidedly dissent ; the strong eondsmnation pronounced on irha : he calls " Bible Chartism / ' "We hold the principles of Chartism to be all contained in , and inculcated by , the Bible ; and we hold a deep-rooted , honest , religious principle to be the best gcar&mee for political and social iraesiy , as well as for individual benevolence . It gives U 3 great pain to observe in O'Coknoh any principle from which we feel compelled to dissent ; bat , next to truth , perfect sincerity is our beet dinine .
We hear that some of the ablest members of the ¦ Commons have undtrtsken to bring the whole of O'Cojojob ' s case before the House , in detail , this Session . It is a disgrace 10 any country , calling itself Christian , that such a man , for the alleged offence of which he has been convicted , should be subjected to the rigours of solliarj confinement He is the only political offender in solitary confinement in these dominioas . Much good may their gloating otsi that f&c ; do his heartless tyrants !

THE NEW YEAR'S DAY DEMONSTRATIONS . The " Establishment ' and it 3 votaries are knocked ill of a heap by the New Year ' s Day demonstrations , finding that neither frost , snow , rain , haiL , or ¦ wind can freeze the hot blood of young Ghartism , or tool the growing desire for change . No wonder thai an ignorant press should have so long misrepresented she more philosophical teaching of "

Tories were desirous of insinuating . We can now settle the controversy , by giving the real truth from Fbost himself , as contained in thq following letter to Mrs . Frost , which was rtad at the Bristo meeting , and which describes the true position of himself , and his two patriot associates in exile : — Pert Arthur , Tan Dieman ' a Land , July 21 st , 1840 . Mi Dearest Mart , —TLe words Norfolk Island and Port Arthur convey to tke tainda of the English peopie , places of extreme suffering . They are penal settlements , to which , generally , persons we sent , -who , being prisoners , have committed other offences in the cj ! oay . Tlae punishment here is great , but the persons who' are sent here are frequently old offenders . There are various rtasons assigned for sending w to Port Anhur , but as . it is impossible that I cau be acquainted ¦ with the true one , I Bca !) merely Btate the facts . I am at Port Arthur ; a place to which the very worst of
men are seat , and where human misery may be seen to , probably , its greatest extent . I was not , however , seat here for wfiai is called punishm * nl ; the Governor told us repeatedly that we -were rot sent to Port Arthur as a punishment , but to fill certain offices . Williams is a Superintendent 3 t the coal mine * ,- Jones fills a situation at the Juvenile Establishment ; aad 1 am in the office of the Commandant , that is , the Governor , of Port Arthur . I am acting here as a eleik , and hitherto the labour h& 3 not been heavy . I am in exce'lent health—I never tFas better ; and my ipirits ars very good , considering all things—much letter than I could pctslVr / have anticipate : ! . The ' climate is , si far as I have seen , very good ; milder , I ex * set , thin our own ' country ; the situation rf the settlement must be htali' hy , we having a fine open bay before us . Indeed , from the appearance of most of the prisoners , and from ¦ what I hear , I think Port Arthur is a verj healthy p / ice .
So mtieh , my love , far this part of the subject- Tou are aw ^ re thas ail letters sent from , and received by , every prisoner , are read by the Commandant . Ja-nd though I believe that that gentleman would not be very particular in a Ciirresponilence between a bnstand and a wife , yet it is a gr ^ at ch ; ck to that freedom of communication , which , to be affectionate , must be unrestrained . Politics are , I believe , forbidden ; yet it is a sutgect very much , connected with my affairs . There are varioni matters of a public nature which affect our situa . eioas -, I shall , how ever , leave that subject till 1 hear from England . I am of tho opinion that my letters 'will be perused by others besides the gentleman ¦ who rules hew . I suppose the Colonial Secretary would be glad to have a pe-.-p a : the ietttrs oi his old correspondent Well , I trust that if Lord John Russell should break the st-al of my letters , he will have so much of thj gentleman ab « ut him , as to send them according to their address .
, 1 wrote to you , my dear Mary , from the Cape of Good Hope ; also to Mr . George Ko ^ ers . I hope you have received them . I sse that you received my letters sent from Falniouth- I bslieve , my lore , that every thing is done for tho best ; bat omissions and additions do not dovetail well ; however , you are the best judges , exercise your own discretion , and be assured that your husband -will believe that every thing is doae for tho best . 1 Lave almost forgotten the subjects of the letter sent frjm the Caps ; it w . is written in the hospital of
the sh : p , aiuiusi the tumbling and tossing of the vessel , asd noiss of all sorts ; o , place vury unf _« Y . juraVit ; to correctness » f composition . Y * m "were , aoid » o were my friends , I dare say , glad to hear from me ; and particularly to fiaii that I vras ia excellent health . You know how mu : h I suffered , and how much I dreaded s » a-s : ckness . Strange , passing strange , thati « a voyage of sixteen thousand miles , I felt scarcely any sickness , nor was my stomach once disordered . Sj little do I now dread a sea voyage , that 1 like it . I shoui J like , in a > good ship , and in pleasant company , a voyage to almost any part of the world .
We arrived at Symond ' s Bay , Cape of Good Hope , on the 6 th . of May , after a remarkably fine passage . There were soms ships of war intended for the China sxpedition . 1 had a long conversation ifitk some military and naval officers , some of whom were in England during eur trials . Ths first Lieutenant ef one of the gun brigi bad been to Newport We left the C » pe on the 13 th . The Doctor put into the harbour for the purpose of obtaining fresh provision * , the scurvy having made iu appearance on board our ship . I can assure you , my dear , that the C&pe beef , although sot the bei > t I ever « aw , was very acceptable after oar s< provision * .
We bad no wind for several days after we left the Cape , and oar progress waa slow ; but about the latter end of the month we h * d plenty of it The greater par t o ! the month . oUune was exceedingly tempestuous . On the Sth of Jun * . Whitsun-Monday , it blew great irons ; the oidest « ulors on beard scarcely ever recollected such 5 hurricane . Daring the night , many supposed that oar danger was exireme ; the ship ( ut exeellent sailer ) tumbled about merrily . The fore and main hatchway * battoned down ; the niiiea hatch opened a little to admit air to the prisoners , through which opening the sea was pouring in streams , so that the hospital , under the quarter-deck , - was half filled with water . Tka ship rode it out welL The 13 th , lGth , l » th , 20 th , and ilit , were exceedingly boisterous ;
however , on the last day of June , we anchored in tie Derwany , before Hobart Town ; we were exactly four calendar months from England ; -we left Fa . 1-month en the last day of February . Hera we were supplied immediately with fresh provision * , principally mut !» n : and though what we had wa » much inferior to our English mutten , we thongbt it capital , after the convict « ait junk . The next day our friend , the Doctor , -waited on the Governor , Sir John Franklyn , and , I have no doubt , did every tiling in his power for us . It ia usual for the Doctors of convict ships to give each prisoner a character , according to his behaviour on board the snip , an * the character given his some iaflaence on the fate of the prisoner . We arrived en the Tnesday " . On the Thursday , we were
infoimed that the Governor would come on board on Saturday , and that we should all be landed on the Monuay morning . At fenr o'clock , on Friday morning , "we were told that we must prepare to leave that day for Pjrt Arthur ; we were rather astounded at this information . Port Arthur ! a penal settlement ; whiie the most able men at the bar contended that we hadhad no legal trial , while our case was , when wejsft , before- the Houm ef Crmmcns , icic It was intimated , I do not know how tru ^; , that these were ingtrucaons from the highest authority , and that it was intended to favour us . On the Friday coming , we ¦ were taken on board the colonial schooner , Eliaa , and soon af ' .-. r , the Governor came on board ; and his Excellency addressed us for a considerable time , pointing out the regulations under which we should be placed , recommending a certain line of conduct , and
informing us repeatedly , that we were not sent to the penal settlement for punishment As soon as the Governor left , ths ship sailed ; and the next morning , Saturday , the 4 th of July , the ever memorable day , heidinsueh estimation in the United Stites , we wtre iar ,. kd at Port Arthur , the penal settlement for Van Diemgn ' s land ; -we -were taken into the Commandacfs Office , where ihe regulations for prisoners were read to us . They are , my dear , as you may suppose , pretty stringent ; but I baveno doubt th-t I shall be enabled tjobserve them . "We certainly were cot treated as the generality of prisoners are treated on their arrival ; they are taken to the shoemaktr ' s shop , stripped quite naked ; all their clothes taken from them and burned ; they are then pat in the prison-dress—generally yellow ; sometimes black acd yellow . We -were not treated so ; we kept all onr clothes , and we now -wear some of them . So far , there has been a great difference made .
I inform you , my dear Mary , of these particulars , because I wiih the exact state ol things to be known . I understand that a strong feeling was produced in the colony by our being sent down to Port Arthur , and I Lave no doubt that great indignation will be felt in England , Scotland , and Wales when it is known . It will be said that fe are on the chain gangs , and that we are treated as the vilest of the vile , I -wish that truth should prevail , and for that reason 1 have stated facts ; God knows that the very best situation in Port Arthur is bad enough privation and suffering ; but our situation i * one of comfort , compared wdth that ol many prisoners here , Ye « , my dear Mary , and with many well educated and talented men ; however , my dear , I am , as I said before , in good health and spirits ; prepared , as far at possible , to meet whatever is preparedfor me . While you and my dear family have been anticipating the worst respecting me , the imagination drawing picture * of hardshi p * and suffering , very
different from tho * e I experienced , I have been engaged in the same -work in regard to you ; and I hope -with & ¦ little truth . The greatest mi * ery I endnred was iu ilomaoutii Gao \; fancying tnat certain thing * would t » ke place , and then feeling as if they had actually occurred . It ia unwise to be meeting coming-events too favourably , because , as the mind is likely to be affected by anticipation , it ia less able to meet a reverse . On the other hand , to be continually looking at the dark side i * to be placed in continual miiery . I need not tell you , my dear , that I am exceedingly anxious to near from you ; anxiou * , very anxioo * , to hear of the welfare of my dear children , reUtion * , and friend *; anxiou * to hear of the itate of thing * in England—England , to which I am a * much attached a * ever , even should I never again tread her shore * . Her happineu and her prosperity i * . and e \ er will be , near My heart The po * t leave * bere on Friday ; thi * i * Wednesday ; I ab&U doce for the preseak .
Thonday morning—Tho port come * in to-day ; I hope I shall have a letter . I trust that my dear children will evince a proper degree of fortitude tinder our present circumstances : it is the only effectual mode to combat dMcultiei ; t » young peoplt , particularly , troubles are blessings in disguise ; they prepare them for tke ills of life -, they give them coolness to meet dangers ind difficulties , and many have been constrained to say , with the Psalmist , "It was good for me that . I was afflicted . " I hope my dear boy will learn this lesson ; I hope that he has learnt it ; he most see that his mother and sisters are placed in a situation ,. "which will require of him a manly conduct Desirous as I am of addressing particular individuals , I find it impossible ; were I to begin , I should be likely to omit some , -which might give pain . My dear children and Mends will not think I have forgotten , bectuse Tdo not name . Love to their father and their country will , I trust , animate them to act in such a

manner , that , in future times , tha recollection will be pleasing to teem . Fridty morning—The post leaves to-day ; no letter . My kindest regards to all my dear family and friends . I will write in the course of next month-Believe me , my dearest Mary , Truly yours , JOHN F . BO 8 T . Let not the people think that this paltry amelioration is to serve . Nor let tkem Buffer the villains who kidnapped them , so far to deceive themselves , as to suppose that the lion-cry of au uprearing people is to be thus Btopped . The men must come back ; and back they shall come , or tho factionB shall most dearly rue the day they went .

We have watched , with intense interest , the proceedings , as £ iven iu the London papers for some lime , of an atrocious case of Somerset House law , the details of which have occupied the Rochester magistrates some time .

liEEDS . —Court House . —Sack Stealing . —On Saturday last , Wm . Ciarkson , brewer , and Henry Kirk , milkman , were charged with stealing several sacks and a quantity of hops , from the Queen Hotel , on the Roundhay road ; some of the sacks were identified by the owners . It appeared from the evidence of the policemen , that they foun d the saoks in a stable occupied by one of the prisoners . The landlord of the Queen stated ihat Clarkson had been in his employ as brewer , but that he had dismissed him on account of dishonesty . The depositions of the various witnesses being taken by the magistrate ' s olerk , the prisoners were committed to the sessions . The prisoners then applied to be admitted to bail , and after several questions being put to them by the magistrates , they were ordered to produce evidence as to their former character , before such was granted . Kirk was bailed on Monday .
Another Musician . Louis Zecharroth was oharged with pawning a piano-forte , tho property of Louis Zeraggio . Considerable difficulty was experienced in order to arrive at the real merits of the oase , both plaintiff and defendant being Germans , and not able to speak English . Defendant was understood to eay that he wanted nine months' wages from Zeraggio , who had employed him at the rate of eigut shillings a month , with an underafcanding that ho should receive the whole proceeds arising from defendant ' s musical perambulations . Plaintiff ' s wife admitted that they owed eight months' wages , but urged , by way of set off , that Zecharroth ' was in the habit of gambling and losing his money instead of handing it over to his employer . After a long palaver , during which tho plaintiff bowed like a Chinese mandarin , it was ordered that the plaintiff shouid pay £ 1 18 s . to the Uoiendant , and receive the ticket of the piano .

A Stolen Watcu Found . —John Stonehouse , of Hunslet , appeared before the Bench to recover a watch which , he stated , had been stolon from his shop fifteen months since , and which was then in the
possession ot the authorities . Policeman , No . 18 , deposed that , hearing a woman , then present , had a watch in her possession , whi : h had been found by her Eon , who was also present , he got it from her , promising , at the same time , that if an owner was found , the lad should be remunerated . Mr . Tottio questioned the lad , who stated that ho found the watch when playing near Trinity Church . Stonehouso having told the number , and other particulars , received his watch on condition that it should be produced hereafter if thought necessary ; ho was ordered to give the lad that , found it , two shillings and sixpence .
Summonses for Wages . —The men in tho employ of Messrs . John and Charles Townsend , joiners and proprietors of a saw-mill , iu Wellington Itoad , and others , in the employ of Mr . George Roberts , of the Britannia Foundry , appeared to ' shew tho justice of their claims against their employers . The names of the parties summoned were several times called , but it appeared they declined attending . Several other summonses were applied for , but the magistrates declined granting thorn until they saw how matters stood with regard to those to whom they had already granted them . Some of tho poor men want from £ i to £ G for wages : one of Messrs . Townsend ' s men stated that the workmen wanted about £ 80 for wages , and could not get a penny . As it was understood there were bailiffs iu possession of the good 3 of both defendauts , the magistrates ordered Handley , the officer , to inquire into the case before they took any further steps . This ia poor satisfaction for the starring men and their families .
Gambling . —Henry Ibbetson , landlord of the Hope Inn , Barley Road , was charged by a watchman with allowing gambling in his house . The watchman stated that he went into the kitchen of the Hopo Inn , on Saturday evening , and saw two men playing at cards , but could not succeed in apprehending them . Mr . Tottie said that Ibbetson should choose wiiether ho would produce the men or be fined ; he preferred the latter alternative , and in consequence of a good character given him by one of his neighbours , he was ordered to pay ten shillings and costs . LONDON ; --Temperance . —The cause of the teetotallers is going on well in Bermondsey . Meetings Uke place every Thursday evening , at the British and Foreign School Room , Great George-street .
DURHAM . —A Bishop ' s Shirt Stoles !—George Miller , a young lad , was charged at Durham Sessions , the other day , with having feloniously stolen a shirt , tho property of the Right Kererend Father in God , the Lord Bishop of Durham , under tho following circumstances : — The brig Syria was wrecked behind tho North Pier , Sunderland , during the late galo , and Captain Menican and part of the crew wero drowned . A shirt ( that one would have thougkt the Bishop would have been ashamed to own , for it was scarcely worth 9 d . ) was washed upou tho beach , and the defendant being down upon the sands , picked it up , in the presence of many people , carried U home , through tho streets , unconcealed , and in broad daylight , never thinking ,
for a moment , that it was the property of tho Bishop , or that a man , " not of this world , " would Wave claimed a shirt that ma . ay a beggar would have refused as a gift . However , it haviug been proved that the shirt was washed up from tho wreck of tho Syria , aud the owner of it being dead , it was claimed by the Bishop , as Lord of the Manor . The police , ever ready to catoh a job , though a dirty one , went in pursuit of the poor boy , arrested him at his home , and some Jusiice Shallow on tho bench committed tho youth for trial . To the honour of the Jury , however , he was acquitted , and the wholo court , except the magistrates , was disgusted at the trumpery affair . Hero is the county subjected to an ioiiuense expeuce , probably £ ' 6 Q , over an aflVir that
should never have been brought forward ; and we only regret that tbo verdict of acquittal was not accompanied with a merited censure on the magistrates , who were so malicious , and the Bighop , who was so greedy . It is tho first time that wo ever heard of a Bishop wanting a shirt , and especially one which , perhaps , had been a sailor ' s only shrouu . It is something like robbing the dead , for we may fairly suppose that if the boy had not taken it when he wanted one , that his " reverence" would , who could uever have worn it , if he had got it . What do tho Sunderland magistrates mean 1 They ought ; to have some kind of deconuy and propriety about them , for if tho Bishop had asked them to look ont for an old shirt for him , thev need not have allowed
tlwir chagrin to go so far ahead , because a poor shirtless boy had got one before them . Wiil the Bishop pay the law bill for tho recovery of his shirt ! After the disposal , of the above case , another indietment , against the samo person , for stealing a pair of the Bishop ' s drawers , was actually preferred ; thus entailing the expence of a doable prosecution Tho second indictment met with the fate of tho iiist . The poor lad quietly and Sarcastically asked if they had any more to bring forward . This second affiir was " too bad" for the Sessions' Magistrates , tho Chairman of whom made some severe and just comments upon the reckless waste of the public money thuB displayed . Another Spkciher nv Durham Justice . — -A boy , about ten years of age , was indicted for stealing a cap , in Newbottle Lane , near Houghton-le-Spiing . This case was got up by that " vigilant and indefatigable officer , " Superintendoat Iugo , of Houghton ,
and the following was the total evidence supplied by him : —That a little boy , about five years of age , carat- home crying , and stating that he had lost his cap , whereupon search wus made , and the culprit wa 3 found with the said cap in his possession . Sergeant Ingo ' s daughter proved this , and the Sergeant proved that he arrested the boy for this . There was not a particle of evidence to show how the boy got the cap , except the boy ' s statement that he found it . The day was very wiudy , and the cap was blown past him ; ke caught it , and , not knowing to whom it belonged , kept it . Yet , upon this evidence , a jury found him guilty , and the bench sentenced him to fourteen days' confinement , s-evea ^ days to be solitary J But why marvel ? The boy was a wandering tinker ' s son , and , therefore , must have been a thief . Here , then , is a fine sample of the vigilance of tke new police , of the wisdom of juries , the justice and hum viity ot ' the bench , the economy of the law , and the liberty of the subject . '
HULL . —HZW DlBfiCTIOW OP THE TkMPBRJlXCE Movement . —The Hull Temperance Committee haa taken a step which does them honour , and proves the great national and moral advantages derivable from that soundness in mental power , which must ever result from habits of temperance . They are about to form a library to supply the operative classes with books at a cheap rate . As a meant of obtaining the necessary f « nd , they have arranged with professor Warrene , to give a consecutive course of lectures , on suoeeding Thursday evenings , upon the natural , mental , and moral capabilities of man , his education , aud professional adaptations ; admission twopence . Donations of books should be immediately forwarded to the committee , to prove that the public feel the importance of ( hit noble movement .
OTiPH AW . —Mbwdicitt . —Thoa . Stott , Greenhill , Cromptoa , Oldham , an old man about seventy years of age , is employed ia cotton weaving , and has to do the following extraordinary work , for the small » um of la . 6 d . He goo ? seven miles to order a warp , and when it is got ready , he fetches hand very frequently has to take it to be sized . The warp weighs about 151 b ., to which add 30 lbs . of weft , the weight will be 451 b . He has then to weave , wind and carry it home , having travelled in all 49 miles , and carried 451 b . ; out of this , he has a wife and himsolf to support , rent and taxes to pay . It is really matter of wonder how such persons can live . Not long ago , 303 . would ha'W . bQQQ . paid for weaving such a piece .

The brute told him he could employ him , but he would give him a little advice ; the poor man thanked him for what he thought might prove beneficial , when he received the following comfort" Go home , and live upon your own fat !" sunderiand . —Durham County Social Ikstitute Grocery Store . —The second haJf-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the above Store was held in the Co-operative Hall , Larabton-street , on Tuesday evening week , when the directors presented their report for the last , six months , which was received With general satisfaction , notwithstanding the efforts to create want of confidence made by two or three factious individuals , whose object to break
up tha Society has for some time been manifest . The balance-sheen exhibited a , profit of eleven per cent , for the last half-year , or twenty-two percent , per annum on the capital invested . At its commencement , the Durham County Social Institute met with its full share of opposition from the existing shopkeepers , who used every exertion to shut the managers out of the market , by threatening to withdraw their custom from such of the wholesale dealers as supplied the Store with goods . The Society , however , has triumphed over all opposition ; the managers being enabled to purchase goods for ready money , while their opponents aro compelled to buy up . in credit , has convinced the dealei 3 that they wou'd be committing suicide upon their own interests by avoiding commercial intercourse with tho Store ; and the Chartists of Sunderland are determined to make the Society an efficient means of acquiring political and municipal power .
Tea Party . —On Monday night last , the members of the Oldham Lyceum , held their annual tea party in Mr . Braddock ' s large room , Terrace BaUdim ;* , when about seven hundred sat down to tea . The room was decorated with banners of various descriptions , likewise specimens from the drawing class , Horatio Nelson , Esq ., in the chair ; Geo . Thomson , Esq ., » f Edinburgh , the lecturer on British India , J » hn Brook 9 , Esq ., and Mr . Buckland , of Manchester , each spoke of the usefulness of Lyceums and mechanical institutions , and were loudly cheered .
The evening was enlivened with vocal and instrumental music , from the vocal and instrumental classes . The vocal class was conducted by Mr . Joseph Winterbottom , of Vineyard , near Oldham , and the instrumental class , by Mr . Thomas Jackson , of Oldham , who performed selections from Gardiner ' s JutJah , in admirable style , and received the thanks of the different speakers . The proceedings of tho evening lasted uutil about halt-past ten o ' clock , when the company broke np , highly delighted with the evening ' s entertainment .
ST . ANDREW'S .-Our M . P . —This distinguished personage lately honoured tho electors of our " auld cioy ' with a sight of him—certainly a very rare occurrence . It was really disgusting to witness tho servility displayed on this occasion by our solf-styled " Liberal and independent constituency , " as their member , accompanied by his agent , acting as a pointer , shewing the hunter where the gamo lay , waited on them , shook hands , aud then retired ; for this was all the account ho chose to give of his stewardship . We are informed t ! : ^ . Mr .
Ellice expressed his gratification » t seeing the town so quiet , and free from agitation ! But we can assure him that , if he had dared—ye 3 dared—to call a public meeting of the inhabitants , we would have given him a tpecimen of our quietness that , perhaps , would have surprised him -such a specimen a 3 the food folks of Crieff gave that promising brat , Fox Maule , when he appeared among them . But , for reasons best kno wn to himself , our Liberal (!) member cut his stick without doing so . But , " He who fights and mas away , May live to fight anothor day . "
HTJDDEKSFIEIiD . —Explosion op Gas . — Ou Tuesday morning , about two o ' clock , an explosion of # as took place in the new factory of Messrs . J . W . aud H . Shaw , near the Bath Hotel , which set fire to a part of the premises ; but , by the prompt exertions of a number of persons , who soon assembled from the alarm of the watchman , the fire was extinguished . Mu . Oastler , —On Thursday evening , January 7 th , a fow friends of Mr . Oa « tlcr met at Mr . Pitketnly '§ , when it was agreed that a public tea party should take plaee , and a oommittee was immediately formed . Mr . Glandeng and Mr . Brook , wero appointed secretaries , and Mr . Stocks , treasurer . The on
committee met a ^ ain Sum ' ay evening , at Mr . Biuns ' s , when it was finally agreed that the festival should take placo on Monday , the 25 ' . h , in the Philosophical Hall . The females have taken up the cause very warmly , and formed a committee to make arrangements , which met on Tuesday evening , at Mr . Binns ' s , and appointed persons to canvass their friends , and the friends of the " Old King . " It is expected the call will be responded to with that ¦ oal which has on former occasions presented itsolf in favour of their banished " King . " The tickets are now raady for sale , aud are going off at railway speed ; and , it is to bo hoped , that the display of sympathy will console him under his present
wrongs . DEW 3 BUS . ? . —TiiETOTALisM . — The temperance causo is progressing steadily in Dewsbury ; meetings are held weekly , and accessions are made to the ranks . Tho t » wn has reoeutly been visited by several talented advocates , whose exertions , combined with the powerful appeals made a few weeks since " To the Working Classes of England , " in the spirited address issued by some of the most eminent politicians of our day , lias given to tho cause a new impulse , and been chiefly instrumental in the
formation of . a Chartist Teetotal Society in Dawsbury , which is now organised uador the most favourable auspices , and happily the utmost cordiality exists between it and the Parent Society ; and from the combined energies of both much good maybe expected to reailt . A new and oominodious Temperance Hotel has alsa been opened in the centre of this enterprising town , the proprietor of which , a short time ago , received a letter , dated December Qtth , 1840 , containing a sovereign for the funds of the society , boaring no other signature thau " From a well-wisher of the causo .

THE " WELCOME TO D . 1 N . " The work goes bravely on ! The Committee are acting energetically . Tho DaieRattta are being chosen . ' Preparations are being made on an extensive scale . Indeed ,. all appearances promise that Thursday next will be such a day , as Leeds never saw , —nay , such a day , as never before dawned upon England . Barnsley is ready ; Dewsbury is ready ; Hnddersfield is ready ; Halifax is ready ; Bradford ia ready . Nay , who is there that is not ready to march to Leeds , to give O'CoKNOft his day , and Dan his " welcome ! " P . !
The Deputies are hereby requested to be in Leeds early on Wednesday . Oa the evening of that day , a Grand Soiree will be held in the Music Saloon , which they are required to attend . Again , we say to all parties , be prompt ! Send ia your subscriptions at once . Appoint your deputies without delay . Get your music and your banners ready ,, and march to the " Welcoue , " every one who values his wife ' s good name , his children ' s flesh and blood and tears and groans , and his own individual rights . Yes , all who think they owe O'Connor a . day , and Dam a" Welcome , " and who live within six and thirty miles of Leeds , " March , narch , all in good order , " to pay your debts to each .
The Committee of arrangement also desire that by Monday , at latest , they may be apprized of all appointments , of deputies , that they may duly announce the same . Now , then , every one to his post ! This is the last warning we can give . Before the Star appears again , the Welcome will be -given—the demonstration will be over . On yonr « zisience as a party ; oa your affection for your wives and your babes ; 0 a your own feelings as men and fathers , and women
and mothers , we charge you to make BOTH what they should be I . ' ! Again , " everyone to his pott I ' One thing mind ! No Riot" —no breach of th » peace 1 The Liar said we counselled Riot , because he wished to havo one when he found that no other means would save him aud his " little flock " from political destruction . Yes ! ' Riot" would just suit . But he will be disappointed ! No Riot U " Peace—Law—Order"" must be our motto , and nothing must cause us to swerve from it .
The bare announcement that the Chartists are coming to Leeds to " Welcome Dan , " has throwa the menagerie of " birds and beasts" into the most delightful confusion ! They suspended selling their tickets , determining to give them only to their own creatures . They whispered to one another , " And is it true , think you , that the Chartists will interfere ? " Their organ tried tho power of " Sof *» sawder , " By whining out , ¦ The Chartists have more
sense — " We cannot believe they will do any such thing " Their " show" is to be guarded by hosts of policemen ! to save the geese from being plucked I In fact , consternation has seized upon the whole herd ! and they gladly wish to get out , of the mess , under cover of a " riot , " which they would be sure to charge upou the Chartists . But they shall be disap pointed . We can , and will" welcome Dak , " without riot !!
Amongst other lies they hare used , to sell their tickets , they have circulated , far and near , thai Collins had . accepted their invitation , and was to bj ) present ! The Liaks ! A letter from him now lies on our table , in whieh ho says . — " My answer t » them was , that as my principles were different , I declined to attend < " What miserable subterfuge How are the mighty fallen ! Come to Leods oa Thursday , and complete in person , what your expressed intention tf coming has so well begun I Come and extinguish the political rushlights ! But no Riot ! " Peace , Law , and Order . "
The different processions are requested to draw up in the Free Market , Vicar ' s Croft , as they arrive , preparatory to one general procession to the place of meeting . Again we say , " Every one to hit post /"
