SkeriPgton , on the 25 th nit ., when the former sat down confessedly discemfitted , and made such a ¦ weak attempt at argument , that severad of his friendi left the room ashamed of tbeir champion . A resolution wa 3 adopted to the effect , that it would be no Ies 3 difficult to obtain a repeal of a political evil like the Corn Laws , than to obtain the Charter ; and , therefore , the meeting was-determined to strive for the Charter , deeming the"" cheap bread" cry a trick to divert their attention from their main object .

      Tne press , proposed by Mr .

Mirfchim and Seal , of Leicester , for re ' using the invitation of O' ConnelT . The Committee of this Association i 3 now very active : they have started a library , ana hope their friends will aid them to enlarge it .

Leach , in room of Mr . Bairstow , who bad been announced , but could not attend . Mr . Leach improves greatly , as a lecturer ; he always appears to be master of his subject , speaking thereon in its general points , with great eloquence , and in detail with much tact , talent , and plainness . He had a good audience who listened with much attention .

      Me . Hawcey and Scotch Chartism . —From a very lengthy communication forwarded to as by Mr . Harney , we learn that he has visited the following places during the last fortnight , wher « meetings have been convened for the purpose of promoting the cause of Chartism , namely , Montroee , Luthermure , Brechin , Kirkinch , Cupar ADgU 3 , St . Andrew ' s , and Arbroatb . Mr . Harney gives a most cheering account of the progress of Chartism in the districts he has -visited . He also details the circumstances connected with his recent arrest , but which , from the many demands on our space , we are compelled , though reluctantly , to lay aside for the present . BXR 2 KCZNG 3 ASZ . —CocsciL Mektikg . —A Special meeti ng of the Council of the Birmingham Charter Association , took place at Bill's Temperance Coffee House , Moore-street , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . Williamson in the chair , who opened the business by stating that several important matters would be

      brought before the council , to which he entreated their serious attention . He then called upon the Secretary to read the minutes of the last council meeting , when a long conversation took place on various subjects connected with the people ' s cause , after which the following resolutions were agreed to : —1 st . That a grand Chartist Soiree be prepared bv the association of Birminghom , to be held in the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , on Tuesday , March 2 ad , in honour of Messrs . White , Binns , and Yincent , to sympath'te with them for the Bufferings which they have endured in the people ' s caase . 2 nd . That a petition to the House of Commons be immediately prepared , in accordance with other parts of the country , in behalf of our much persecuted and injured friend , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . 3 rd . That as Mr . George Binns , of Sunderiand , ia now free from the trammels of Wbiggery , this council do reqnest the Secretary to write requesting him to become lecturer for tkis district . Mr . Barrett then

      arose and called the attention of tho council to a paragraph which appeared in last week ' s Star , having reference to Mr . Candy , then present . He considered that paragraph calculated to mislead " Newcastle-under-Line , " and stated that Mr . Candy had been lately sent out to lecture , by the council and committee of the delegated meeting held in Birmingham ; he wished it to be understood that Mr . Candy had not been appointed by that council , A long and rather warm discussion followed this announcement ; it was urged by Bome that Mr . Candy had been appointed , and also argued that it was not fo understood by other members of the council . It , however , appeared that Mr . Candy had proceeded on a missionary tour through the

      district , with the concurrence of the council , but without any fixed arrangement as to payment , that being left to the option of the parties he might visit . A question then arose as to the propriety of handing over a sum of money in the hands of the treasurer , which formed part of the missionary fund , to Mr . Candy , he not haviug been appointed a missionary within the strict meaning of the terms under which the money had been originally sent . All seemed to agree that Mr . Candy was a very honest and upright man , and that he had performed his missionary labours with credit to himself and benefit to the cause . A letter was signed by several delegates from parts of the Potteries , who assembled at Hanley , highly approving of Mr . Candy ' s services and abilities . It was thea agreed thai 7 s . 6 d . be given from

      the misrio&ary fund towards the payment of Mr . Candy ; the Council binding ihemselve 3 , at the Bame time , to make it zood if hereafter objected to . Mr . B-irrats , as treasurer of the missionary fund , refused to pay any money entrusted to his caTe , as he considered he should not be justified in doing so in the present instance . The remainder of the evening ¦ was spent in considering the necessary steps which should be taken for getting up the soiree , and forwarding the principles of the Charter . A very good feeling seemed to prevail ; the whole of the proceedings were conducted in a business-like manner , Biils have been extensively posted through the town , announcing that a lecture would be delivered on Tuesday evening , at the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , by Mr . George White , of Leeds .

      Christian Ciubtjst Chusch . —Sermons were preached at the Christian Chartist Cbnrch , Kewhall-street , on Sunday last , by Mr . O'Neil , of Glasgow , which were well attended . Upwards of two pounds were collected at the door . BRADFORD . —We understand tbe members of this association will hold their weekly meeting on Monday evening next , at ei < ht o ' clock , at the house of Mr . Goldsborough , Goodmausend . The reason for changing the time of meeting from Saturday to Monday is , because the room mil in future be open every Saturday evening , at six o'clock , for the purpose of reading the Northern Star , and other political periodicals , calculated to instruct the people , asta the best means o > ' pro moling their well-being and happinesg . On Sunday evening , the room will be open at the same hour for reading and holding discussions . On Sunday , the 7 th instant , the subject for debate will be the most efficient- means for speedily ameliorating the condition of the working classes . "

      THE LEEDS MEETINGS . TO THB WORKING MEN OF GREAT BRITAIN . ; Hy Friends , —The erenta of the last fortnight bare ; placed you in aa eminent—in a pronj position .

It is net , perhapa , while your triumph ia itUl freth upon your xtinda , and yoor laurels are yet unwithered on your brows , that you may like to hear the -words of caution , which may be interpreted aa those of du-, trust ; but , mj friend * , tbe more I am convinced of the solid advantages you have gained by tbe day of Leeda , the mare anxioas I am , aa your friend , that you ahould not lose those advantages , or be again nude tbe mere injiramenti of othsn , to work oat their own favourite project * .

      It is for this reason I -wish to address to you a few words , and put you on your guard against being led away by the cant of " good and cheap Government , " which , ia echoed and re-echoed by Mr . Hume , and all ot that party . What you want , my friends , ia " responalble and representative Chweninient , " <* bAcb > can only be obtained by Universal Suffrage . Aa to th « leaders of the middle classes , their cry for cheap Government is not to benefit you— " not thai tb » y care for the poor ,, " hot to spare their own poekeU ; aod by gootl Government they mean a gendarmerie to coerce yon , and a Poor Law Amendment Act to keep down tbe

      poorrates . To iUuatratethe difference between the cant of" good aad cheap Government , " and tbe principle of " repreaentattee Government , " I would just pat it ^ blB way If Mr . Hume , and the paendo atatesmeo of bte school , were fd be offered , to-morrow , what they calf"" good and cheap Government , " though at the expence offlveB narrowing the present constituency , they would , ! am confident ^ take tbe ofer , under the aelf-conoelted notion that they know better what ia good for you than you do yourselve * .

      Vow , tak * tbe other aide . Permit me , fora moment , to consider myself as your representative . I admit that I have my own ideas of good Government ; but , if it was proposed to tne to carry out my views , without extending the franchise to the full principle of the Charter , I would say " No ; " I would « ay , ' It is not to be my wish , or the wish of even thousands , that should direct the legislation of the country ; but the will of the millions , expressed by their representatives in Parliament assembled . " With respect to all thosa who now ait , or have sat in Parliament , with the aole and single exception of Feargua O'Connor , 1 would have no confidence whatever in any ene of them , as they never bo much as tabled a motion in favour of Universal Suffrage , for all the opportunity they had when in Parliament . I do not except even Sharman Crawford or Col . Thompson : with these men , be assured , tbe carrying their own favourite projects is tbe primary object , the suffrage only aecondarv .

      Even with respect to tbe different points of the Charter itaelf , you see with what different favour they are looked upon . Thus you will find that those which least concern your interests are dearest in the eyes of the middle-class leaders . The Ballot will find an advocate in Greta—the Electoral D ; btricts in Hoebuck ; but the suffrage—Universal Sufi ' rage , never had a sincere friend in any of the M . P . ' s or ex-M . P . ' s , with the single exception ( I repeat it again ) of Feargu 3 O'Connor . Urging you , then , my frienda , to keep united , to consolidate , and extend your organisation , I remain , Your sincere well-wisher , William Vilhers Sankey .

      THE CORDWAINERS AND TAILORS OF MANCHESTER , TO THEIR FELLOW ARTISANS AND OPERATIVES OF ENGLAND , IRELAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Fellow Labourers , —We call upon you ct this important crisis ta come nobly forwatd , and assist us in breaking the fetters which hold the industrious of all denominations , in the miserable bondage of poverty and class legislation . That you have nobly darud to check the usurious inroads which have been mado upon your only property and possession , viz ., your labour , we are fully aware ; but at the same time we feel ourwlves compelled to confess , that , daring baa never guaranteed to us a basis of permanent security . Notwithstanding all our efforts , labour has been forced to succumb to tbe unholy but mighty influences of accumulated capital .

      When we take into our consideration , the vast amount -which haa been expended by the oppressed working millions of this ceuntry , to procure a protection , which the legislature ought to have secured to them , we feel deeply tke . necessity of securing for labour a representation iu that house , whose very name implies the right of such a representation . We , tbe Cordwainers and Tailors of Manchester , have , therefore , after mutual and close deliberation , adopted what we consider to be a good means of obtaining this much to be desired end . Mark it ! we have enrolled ourselves as members of the National Charter Association of Great Britain , and we hereby formally invite our brother operatives to join us in this grand and gloridus movement

      We would not be thought dictators , but we feel we owe to our posterity , the performance of a great moral and national duty—the calling en the working men of England generally , to come forward and unite for this much desired object . Signed , on behalf of the Association , Saml . Pehberton , Sec .
