XdSEDS . —NatiosaL Chjlkteb . Association . —The Cooccii of this Association met last week , pu suant to notice , when it waa unanimously-resolved that the classes should be for the present set aside , it being the unanimous opinion that a general and eeatral place of meeting would be most conducive to the prosperity of the Society ., In accordance with this opinion , the Committee have taken a large and commodious room in the Shambles , near the Fish Market , capable of holding from four to five hundred persons , well lighted np with gas , and wanned with comfortable fire . The room is well fitted np witfc seat ? , and every convenience for a public meetiag room . There -will be a lecture delivered
every Monday evening , and all the members in the Leeds district are requested to attend on that evening , and pay their subscriptions . A Committee of fifteen efficient Individuals have b « en appointed to manage the affairs of the Society , and no exertion frill be wanting to make our Society one of the most prosperous in the country : in fact , we have already sounded the death-knell of Whiggery \ and notwithstanding the attempt * lately made to cajole us into the ranks of the enemy , we are as determined as ever to stand by the Charter of oar rights , and we call upon all really honest Radicals to come forward and join us in the battle against tyranny , oppression , and misrule ; be assured that every measure will be taken to render the operations of the body % b effective as possible .
TU . UCOTJX . TRY . —The Chartists in this place have taken that large and commodious hall belonging to the Rev . A . Browning for one year , and they will also let it for all public purpose ? , except dancing or drinking of intoxicating liquors , on very reaaoaaole termb . Applications may be made to lit . James Montake , manufacturer . Staseow .-A public meeting was held in St . Ana ' s Church , on Tuesday , the 9 . h instant , at eight o ' clock in the evening , for the purpose of hearing » lecture from Mr . Pattieson , on the present state of the working classes , the past and present position of political parties in this country , and several other subjects connected with the Chartist movement ; ana- also to discuss and decide upon rules and regulations for the government of the Scottish Chartist
Teetotal Society . The meeting was numerously stteaded , notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather . Upon the motion of Mr . Ross ,- Mr . Cullen K * 3 caLed to the chair , who opened the business of the meeting ; after which , the lecturer rose , and in a clear , convincing manner , and in a strain of natural eloquence , grasped with a master mind the attention of his audience , while he handled the various topics of his discourse in a way that must have told home to the most obtuse intellect . His description of the miseries of the working classes was truly heartrending . He concluded by reading a copy of rules , which , after a few words from Mr . M'Farlane , w& 3 unanimously agreed to , and » Committee of fifteen directors appointed . A vote of thanks to the lecturer and Chairman was then given , when the meeting dispersed .
LONDON . —At a meeting of the members of the National Chaner Association of Great Britain , held at the Hit or Miss , 79 , West-street , Globe Fields , the minuies of the last meeting were read " and confirmed , and new members were enrolled . Feargua O'Connor ' s letter was read , which drew forth loud applause for that brave champion of the industrious classes . It was resolved by the meeting— - * That we , the members of this Association , do fall in with the . plan laid down by Fesxgus O'Connor- in the
last wwk ' s Star ; and we do hereby get up a petition for presentation to the House of Commons , against the inferca ] JS ' ew Poor Law Bill . "— " That Mr .

Wilson , on the principles of Univer ^ aJ Suffrage , do take place in this . Association . " "— " That the proceedings of this evening be requested to be inserted in the Northern Star . "The resolutions were unanimously carried .
CARI . X 5 LE . —Da . M'Docall . —Thi 3 gentleman , in the course of last week , delivered addresses to the people of Wigion , Brampton , and the . village of Dalston , at all of which places he gave general satisfaction . WZGTOW . —A public tea meeting was given to Br . M'Doaall , at this town , on the ° ; h instant , when fifty- * wo persons sat down to tea ; after which , the learned Doctor addressed about 300 of the hard working men of the place , on the "Rights of Labour , " which subject he handled most ably and
eloquently . At the conclusion , three cheers were given - to the Doctor , three for Feargus O'Connor , and three groans for the police . The sum of 4 i . 2 d . was eoliwied , in aid of those parties w&o were injured at Castle Dongla 3 . Our correspondent adduces some very base instances of the attempts of certain individuals of the middle classes to prevent the Chaniits getting a room . They succeeded in the firv , instance , but , we are happy to say , they failed in the second ; for the Chartists have taken a room for twelve months .
wycKfUOb . —XtKUTUii&o m Ms . XlAiuiun . — On the iOih instant , at the large room , Prestonstreet , a crowded assembly met , for the purpose of heariug this popular and eloquent gentleman , whose previou-- visit here raised htm very high in the estimation oi the Chartists of Liverpool . Mr . M'Vaulty was elec-. ed chairman , stated the object of the meeting , eulogised Mr . Bairstow , commented sarcastically upon the popular passing events in the political tror ] d , and concluded by introducing to the audience Mr . Bairstow , who entered at great length , and wiih ^ reat abili ty an ! power , into a refutation of Lord J-jiin Russell ' s "Finality"' ministry . In the courts of his address , he said , let not -his Lordship de-ria himself competent to sscp the current set in . The af . empt is vain . It is rapidly swelling by thousancii of tributary rivuiets—accumulating
strength from the very barriers interposed to prevent its majestic career—is gathering force from millions of ajnall and inconsiderabie incipient points , which , iu solitary isolation , are imperceptible—but conversing to one centre , flowing in the same channel , rolling in its undeviasing course , and sweepir ::: its roaring torrents with the placidness of the snaui-iT evening ' s lake—so calm in reason , the giant ru-h of Xigara ' s cataract , resistless by aggregation , will carry thrones , crowns , mitres , and all wealth-created escutcheoned insignia—its ebb and Sow equally impulsive—ihe cycles of time describing its aaration—the great globe itself its dimensions—iiuie ' ¦ finality" will bs whirled in its eddies till it couducts the world at last to freedom . ( Cheer ? . ) Mature and Heaven are not more immutable than is the grea t i a w of progression . All thing- * are in progrese ; man a * i the future are one . He conforms to it as
it imprc- ^ es its conviction upon him , Tvherher individually or nationally . The instincts of physical life , the wants of appetite , the development of intellect , the combinations of civilization , and the municipal mechanism of society , all demand progress , and inevitably enact change , and whether such change be characterised by the display of riot , violence , and bloodshed , or is obtained by-peace , -ever depends upon the amount of resistance and coercion of the Resell school legislation . The past does not more surdy indicate a period when errors now discarded were rife , than that the present , improved
and corrected relativel y to the past , will be is oineeremomoudy and certainly changed , reformed , and eventaajiv improved . —Mr . Biirsiow continued at great length , in an eloquent and impassioned strain , which produced a most marked and powerful effect on - . us audience , illustratisg as he proceeded the troth and beauty of the principles of the Charter , and dwrii : Di ( upon its reFults upon the social and political condition of the people . A vote , of thanks to the isc' -arsr was carried by vociferous acclamation ; after ¦ which the Chairman briefly addressed the meeting , which then separated apparently edified M-iia : he evening ' s treat . ¦ - -
WOR . CEST . HR . —We are going on well , steadily increasing lure , and with a determination to go for nothing ie «~ than the Charter . A members' meeting ¦ was held ij . 5 t week ; the business waa eonductea with the asua ! spirit , Mr . Ruffe was in the chair . It was -ansnimously agreed that we henceforth send for insertion in the Star our fortnightly meetings . It was u := o proposed by our respected treasurer , Mr . "Willing , uad carried unanimously , that a debating class b ^ formed for the purpose of encouraging Chartist tcient , & . c . Measures were Lmmediatelv taken for the carrying out the resolution . A discussion af : or wards ensued respecting a letter which appeared : n the Worcester Chronicle of last week , porporti : is to be sent from the Coancil and signed Richard Wilson . A reply to a most foui and unwarrantable attack of the Worcester Herald had been
forwarded to the Editor of trie Ch-onicle , who pro-Biised to ijif e it insertion ; and the Council of the Chartism , knowing the two parties were at-logger * heads , thought of course it was all right ; but to their Biter astonishment this reply was cm and mangled in such a horrid manner , ( although at the same time , this editor says he has an ** innate horror of injustice , ") that it scaroely could be recognised by us ; therefore it was deemed requisite an explanation ahould be given in the Star of nex : week for the satisfaction of our Chartist friends , ( in the shape of an addres < < xc ., ) and our social friends , who have been'so kin i as to lend us their room to meet in , & . e . [ We have received the address , in which our Chartost friend- do ample justice to both their opponents . Other ciaiiEs upon our space prevent our inserting their otherwise deserving produetion . —Ed . ]
DUNDEE . —The Chartists * f Dundee occupy a nooid position , and will strive to keep it . Hence-Iftrth , there will be no politics in Dundee but the politwiaf Chmism . On Tuesday , Sheriff Henderma declared that every man has a right to attend « rerj public nteating ; and not only to attend , but to Btate > ha opifiions , whatever they may be , on the bjento of xasmeeting . The Chartists in this quarter will , aot - lose sight of this right .

The Chartists took the opportunity to do their duty , also , and immediately convened a meeting , when their room was soon crowded to excess , and the following resolutions unanimously agreed to : — "That thi 8 meeting viewa with abhorrence and indignation the present expensive steps taken to gratify the lusts and sensual appetites of the great , while thousands of our fellow-creatures within the boundaries of England are perishing for wan I of food . " M That this meeting is determined to abide by the Charter , as the
only means of obtaining a redress of grievances , whether they be religious or secular ; at the same time , it calls upon Dissenters to leave the Popes of ia « nineteenth century , and think for themselves . " A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman , and suitably acknowledged ; after which , it was proposed that the proceedings of the meeting be sent to the Northern Star ; after which , three oheere were given for the Charter and F . O'Connor , Esq ., and the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most stirring meeting held here for a long time . The speeches delivered by the movers and seconders were of the ri ^ ht sort ; and we only regret our inability to give them a place in the Star .
3 RXGHTOW . —I write in haste , to inform you of a glorious trmmph of the working men of Brighton over the treacherons middle classes . A town meeting waa held on the 11 th inst ., in the Town HalL the High Constable in tbe chair . The meeting was called for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature against the introduction of a clause in the New Poor Law Bill , now before the House , which would give power to the Commissioners of Somerset House to take supersedure over all places having local acts . Brighton being among the number , a meeting was thought fit to be held , to petition against the clauses giving the Commissioners the power to interfere . The first resolution was proposed , seconded , and carried , without one dissentient ,
being of a meri - local character ; but , on the appearance of Mr . Woodward to propose a resolution , an attempt was made by the factious to put him down , but he waa made of too stern stuff . A gallant Whig ( Major Allen ) urged that he had risen first , bat the meeting was in no disposition to be humba ^^ ed ; Woodward they would have , and the old soldier sauuded the retreat . One victory attained , another was certain . Mr . Woodward lashed the vagabonds in black pretty lidiiy ; Mr . Alien followed in the same route , that made the fellows wish themselves at home in their drawing-rooms , at the wine table . Mr . Reeve—the much-persecuted William Reeve—supported the resolution ; it waa so worded , that neither Whig nor Tory could carp at it ; it was
put to the meeting ( though not very willingly by the Chairman ) and carried amidst tremendous applause . Thus ended a second victory ; bat another was to be gained ere the business for which the Chartists had met could be concluded , and that was , the adoption of the petition founded on the resolution ; and right merrily and nobly did the working men snpport their friends on the platform . Major Allen moved the adoption of a petition against the bill being so worded as would give the Commissioners power to supersede local acts ; it was seconded by J . N . Wigney , Esq . Mr . Reeve was on his legs in a twinkling , with an addenda to the petition , "declaratory of the abhorrence of the Foor Law , and ail other laws that press on the
industry of the people ; and that no redress of grievances would be granted till the people had the right of electing their own representatives , and making them responsible to the natioc" This was a stinger for them . It wa 3 seconded by Mr . Allen , supported by Messrs . Woodward and Colling ; and for nearly two hours the scene was indescribable . The middle men , the aristocracy , and the impartial Chairman , could not allow such a thing to take place as sending a petition from such an aristocratic town as Brighton for Universal Suffrage ; but so it happened , in spite of all their trickery and sophisticated humbug . The Chairman said he could not allow Mr . Reeve ' s resolution to be embodied in their petition , and did not think he could
receive it . Bat he had done it , and was made to stand by it ; and wa 3 on the point of putting it to the meeting , when he was completely flabergasted , by Mr . Woodward rising 10 propose another amendment , in the shape of a ichole amended petition . Mr . Colling seconded it . Mr . Reeve withurew his resolution , and supported the amended petition in a speech of some length , concluding amidst loud cheers . A question then rose as to how the sense of the meeting should be taken . " Divide I divide !" echoed from all quarters ; the Chairman then appointed tellers . On the part of Mr . Woodward ' s petition , Mr . Reeve was appointed , and on the part of Major Allen ' s petition , Mr . Bowdidge was appointed . He then ordered the room to be halved ; a line of forms were then placed across the Hall , and the meeting divided ; the scene was animating . The half that contained the working men waa scarcely large enough to contain them , while the half that
contained the aristocrats aud their time-serving slave , the tradesmen of Brighton , was not half occupied . The shout that followed was loud and long—it echoed again and again throughout the lefty and noble building . The Cuartist petition was carried , when the Chairman rose and declared the meeting dissolved ! but , not so with the Chartists . Mr . ALlen proposed , and Mr . Page seconded , that Mr . Woodward take the chair . Mr . Allen then proposed that the petition , as submitted by > lr . Woodward , be adopted . Mr . Colling seconded it ; aud a # a : n was it pnt , and triumphantly carried . Three cheers were given for the Caarter ; three for Feartus , the "lion , " and all imprisoned victims ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three groans—most awful—for the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs . " A vo : e of thanks was presented to Mr . Woodward , and the meeting dissolved , siajjiDg the first verse and chorus of the Marseilles Hymu . —Correspondent .
HAWXCK . —The Rev . Mr . Gray , and D . M . M'Gul Cnchton , Esq ., delivered two lectures on lay patronage , in the Subscription Rooms here , on Wednesday evening , the 10 th inst . The meeting , which ¦ was pretty numerous , paid tbe greatest attention to the speakers , and testified , by their applause , their concurrence with many of the sentiments and opinioas expressed by them , especially by M'Giil Crichton , who ( so far as the Cnurch was concerned ) delivered an excellent Chartist lecture . After the clo .-e of his address , Mr . Crichton read a petition to bom Houses of Parliament , for the total abolition of patronage , which he wished the meeting to adopt and Figo . Mr . John Rutherford , salesman , opposed the petition , on the ground that it did not go far
enough , and noved an amendment , praying for a separation of Church and State . Mi . Picfcard Harris had no objections to Mr . Rutherford ' s amendment , but propose * another , to the effect , that this meeting considers no effectual remedy for the evils of patronage will ever be produced until Universal Suffrage becomes the law of the land . Mr . Crichton then took the sense of the meeting on both amendments conjointly , when a forest of hands were held np for them . On a show of hands being taken for the petition , only seven hands were held up for it . The only vexatious thing was , that Mr . Rutherford
could not conscientiously vote for his own amend * ment . What a pity 1 It is satisfactory to state , that the whole proceedings were conducted in a peaceable and orderly manner , and that not a single disrespectful expression escaped the lips of any who took parr in the business . Give but the public fair play , as Mr . Crichton did , and we will never hear a vroid of disorderly meetings . It is but justice to Mr . Crichton to say , that he distinctly denied being to biame for Julian Harney's arrest ; on the contrary , he used his influence to prevent it . He attributed Harney ' s seizure to the over-zeal of the worthy " Bulky" to do his duty , or rather more than his duty

This lady was the IvruTow of the celebrated Maurice Margarot , who was one of the delegates of the London Corresponding Sooiety to promote Parliamentary Reform , to the British Convention , in 1793 ; he was tried and exbatriated by the Scotch Court of Justiciary to New
South Wales fora period of fourteen years . She heroically accompanied him to that , at that time , inhospitable colony : and remained daring his pro * tracted exile of sixteen years , and returned with him to this country in 1810 , broken in fortune and greatly impaired in health . Margarot was the only one of the five Sootch martyrs , Gerald , Mair . Palmer , and Skirving . who lived to revisit his native land . In 1816 her husband died , after suffering unparalleled persecutions ' great privations , and severe * pecuniary losses . ' . Her uncles left her a most scanty income , upon which she struggled with great difficulty to maintain herself with propriety . She spent a long and exemplary life , to the honour of her sex , and to the admiration of a numerous circle of friends , who most sincerely and deeply regret her loss , and trust she will meet a solid reward for the many virtues she possessed and the cruel sufferings she endured in this life .

¦ w ant and destitution . Tbe jury viewed the remain and the late habitation of the deceased . Tbe place exhibited a frightful , picture of misery , is being described by tie coroner and jury as feeing totally unfit for any human being to live in . Two old chairs without any backs formed tbe whole furniture . Tbe walls were running down with moisture , and the body of the deceased .
which was in a obeli , was so extremely emaciated , as to excite a strange sensation among all present . On the jury returning to tbe inquest room , Charles Hawkings , who described tbe deceased to have been hi * partner for eighteen years , was supported into tbe room by Stokes , one of tbe relieving officers of tbe parish of Bethnal Green , in which he resided . He waB so weak as scarcely
to be able to speak .

She was a single , woman . He him * elf bad been ill for some time past , and was , therefore , able to earn but
little . He made pump shoes , for which be was paid eightpence a pair , but latterly be bad not made a pair a day . F » r the last ten months he had not eaten a morsel of meat , and they had lived chiefly on potatoes and bread . Deceased was taken ill on Wednesday week . Witness sent tor so medical advice , and gave no information to any one of her illness . From that day she got worse , and
died on Tuesday . By the jury—I have not slept on a bed for a year , nor had tbe deceased . They all lay upon tbe 6 oor daring tbe night Tbe coroner here remarked , that it was wonderful how the poor creatures could have lived bo long in the state they were , and asked the witness why be did not apply to tbe parish ? Witness—Because I dreaded going in , from what people said
ot the workhouses . Coroner—And was thedeceaaed of tbe Barue opinion ? Witness—She was , Sir . J » bn Roy a ton , tbe workhouse undertaker of Betbnalgreen , stated that when he removed tbe deceased to put her in a shell , be found that her bead was resting on a bat-box lid , which was on a Bible . He bos seen many scenes of distress , but none to equal that where deceased lay .
Tbe coroner remarked that the case was one of the most dreadful he bad ever seen . Verdict—Natural death , brought on by privation , want , and destitution . —MorningChronide . Beth . nal-green Benevolent Fond . —During the last week , upwards ot 1 , 800 cases were relieved by the committee appointed to investigate tbe state of the parish during tho continuance of the inclement
weather . On Saturday night , no less than 480 cases were relieved , and upwards of loo applicants were faceted . The distress in many families is really appallin ' j , and such as to excite the warmest sympathy of the visitors , who inquire into every case before relief is afforded . A man and his wife are
allowed weekly ono loaf , fourteen pounds ef potatoes , and half a hundred weight of coals ; and the same quantity i » given , with the exception of tbe coals , to every two children . Tbe Spitalaelds Soup Society continues its benevolent operations , although many applicants for relief are rejected , from the inadequacy of its means .
Bbill . —A labourer of the name of Wm . Collett , of the parish of Boarstall , but resident at Brill , died from waut and the severity of the weather . The deceased , waa tLf ty . eight yeata of age , had a wife and four children at home , the youngest about six years of age , and had been ill for about a month , from his toes being , what country people call , " perished . " The meucal gentleman
hid attended him ; he was able to get down stairs till Saturday last , and died on Sunday from mortification . His relief for bis wife and family , from the Board of Guardians , was in bread and cash about 8 s . 2 J . per week , in addition to any extras the medical officer might order . He bad no bed , no blankets , no sheets ; while all his clothes , a sack , and an old coat , served as his only covering
till Sunday last , when the Boarstall authorities were applied to , and they found him sheets and blankets ; his earnings , -when able to work , did not exceed 8 * . per week , out of which he had to pay Is . rent It has nt , l been considered requisite to hold an inquest . ' £ he appearance of the house indicated the most wretched poverty ; the widow informed our reporter that she had herself gone without food for two days to find her husband sustenance . Oxford Chronicle . The Houseless Poor .
—Since the commencement of the frost , poor people , in a state of destitution , and Buffering from tho intensity of th 8 weather , have repeatedly applied to be allowed to spend the night at the police station . This , of course , being contrary to the regulations , cannot be peTinitted . A refusal to harbour applicants at the station house has more than once induced them to qualify themselves for admission , by the breaking of a lamp , or some petty but unprofitable larceny .
