LONGTON , STiFFCiBSHiaB PoTTEj-UES . —The Chartists of thii place , baring met -with much opposition , hire determined to send * a account of the petty tyranny which has been pr ?* cti 8 ed towards them within the last six weeks , De' / ore the public . Oa Tuesday , January the 20 th , our boards , with the placards calling a public meeting for that night , when Mr . John Richards , ' jrte Conventional Delegate , would deliver » lteta ' -e on . the principles of the Charter , were stolen by 'Jke Inspector of the Police , who carried them tirrough the street in triumph , thinkag that he had stopped the meeting , bnt be was deceived . One of our body went on the Wednesday , to Bee by whose , -authority he had taken them . He said , " by my o * ra . " When asked if he
intended to jure them bac ' c , he said he would not have such rubbish against , our lamp posts , as if be was the master of the V jwu . Tbe person went to the High Bailiff , to kno it whether he had given him authority for taking them ; he said he merely sanctioned their remo ^ al on account of the Tories , who bad been comp ' iaining about them , and very kindlv Bent a note to . the Inspector to . giro up the boards ; but he had . partly burnt them . He next waited on the Commissioners of Police , but got no redress . On the . following Tuesday night , Mr . Candy , tbe kctrjer for tbe counties of Warwick , Worcester , and Stafford , came upon us suddenly , and a meeting was to be called ; bo we applied to the bellmanwho cried it through part of the town ,
, when the Inspector stopped him , and told him that he must not cry any more of our meetings , so that we were debarred calling onr meetings , either by placard or the bellman . On the next Tuesday , Mr . Richards again attended to deliTer a lecture , so we * ent a man round with a rattle . This did not suit , fer the Inspector obtained a summons against one of our members , for crying the meeting and receiving the fees and reward for the same , contrary to an Act of Parliament . The man neither cried tbe meeting nor received the fees or reward , rie attended the Court House , with the necessary witnesses , and waited until the whole of the business was over , when the Inspector cried out that the case must stand over until that day weefc ,
bat we have beard nothing of it since . We had a most excellent lecture on Thursday , the 25 ih of February , from Mr . Dean Taylor , from Birmingham , which was delivered in a most masterly style . Mr . Richards has kindly promised to deliver a lecture on every other Tuesday night , for which" the Chartists of this p ' ace return their thanks , as he has to walk between four aud five miles to us . KENSINGTON . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists , held at { he Marquis of Granby , Kensington , on Sunday last , after the minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed , the new plan of national organisation was submitted to the
meeting , and met with general and unqualified approbation . A committee was appointed to engage a lecture room , in the neighbourhood of Sloane-square , Chelsea . The bnsiness relating to the proceeds of a raffle , to be given to the political victims , was then disposed of ; the delegates to the Counij Council reported i . hc proceedings of that body . Tne various elass lexders piad in the respective amounts they had collected : two new members were enrolled , and a portion of the funds in hand were voted to a brothtr Chartist in distress . The &crstary reported he had paid tke sum of 8 i . 3 i . towards the etpeus « of the delegate to Manchester .
HALIFAX . —New pELLojj . —Agreeable to certain recommendations given in the Northern Star some tine * go , the Chartists of New Pollen had a public tea , for the benefit of the imprisoned Cnartists , en the evening of Shrove Tuesday , the 23 rd ult ., in their Association Room , over their co-operative stere-hoase ; which is likewise used for a Sabbath School , and licensed for a preaching room . An kenest . working man was elected for the chairman , wfeo performed the duties of his office to the credit sd satisfaction of all present-, « nd the evening ' s citertainments consisted in singing a selection of hymns from Dr . Watts ' s collection , "interspersed with appropriate remarks by several of the company , together with a number of toasts , a 3 follows : — * May representation soon be co-extensive with taxation ? ' " -Qneen Victoria , and may she be ashamed of having a pauper for her husband . " * Her Majesty ' s Ministers , and may they soon be relieved from a duty they are so incapable of performing . " * The Army and Navy ; may they never
be employed save in the cause of universal liberty . " ** The ^ ueen Dowager , and may she be ashamed of being any longer a burthen to the country . " " The Somerset House tyrants , and may they soon be compelled to lire upon the same diet they prescribe for others . " ** May the fate of Jvebnchadnsxzer be tbe fate of every despot . " "" The political writings of Thoma 3 -Paine , and may they soon nad a place in the heart and head of every working man . " After the evening had been spent in the manner above described , a vote of thanks was moved to theChairbui ; and , at the conclusion , three cheers for P . O'Connor , Esq ., and" all the imprisoned Chartists were most heartily given by the whole company , who afterwards retired peaceably to their o . vb n&mes , reflecting with B 3 tisfa . ci . ion on what bad passed . Tbe exertion thus made left the proceeds of S 2 s . which will be forwarded to the . Central Committee at Manchester .
ARNOLD , Nottughamsht re . —A very -spirited tea party took place here on Shrove Tuesday , when 150 persons sat down to tea . A number of patriotic toasts were given , entertaining pieces recited , and instructive addresses delivered . Cheers were given for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; for Mr .

At the conclusion of the party , a surplus of 6 s . was found to hare been received , which it was agreed to forward te the Ticiim Fund ,
KEKSATo . —Dr . M'Douall visited here on Friday last , and lectured in the splendid , recently built Odd Ftl ' . ows Sail , which had previously been takes for the purpose , although with some difficulty , and it was oiily owing to some panies who are Odd Fellows aad true Chartists that it was obtained . The Doctor continued ni 3 address in a spirited and eloquent scanner for an hour and a half , to an iisemblj of 7 C 0 persons , on the principles of the Charier , and he was throughout applauded by the assembly . There times three cheers were given for the Charter ; for the lecturer 4 for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; for Fe&rgus O'Connor and the Jferthern Star ; and three ugly groans for the Whi ^ s . - The Doctor has created a most enthusiastic aad determined spirit here , in favour of the Charter .
MANCHESTER . —Natiokal Chaejee . Association . —Mi . Leaney , from Manchester , delivered a lecture in the Association Room , Cneapside , last Monday tight . Tee lecture seemed to produce great effect in arousing the members to still greater exertions in the cause they are eabarked in . The Association appears to be in a flourishing condition , and several new members -w « re added ; but iis grand success depends upon the individual exertions of it 3 members . Let one and all feel it U > be their duty to promote its object as much as possible . Tne room is roing to be opened even- Sunday night for

Subject for to-morrow nighu ** Wnether : is a monarchical or a republican Government the , best calculated to promote the happiness of the i people !** To commence at half-past six o ' clock . i WKSTBUBY . —A eireomstaooe has recently * "taken place in this iotra , which has <; onsiderabiy : agitated tbe Chartists , and which , we believe , will ' be the means of adding greatly to our numbers . A : , TooBg mao , who had joined the Chartists some time ! g inee , died last week , and , when near his end , was j Y 3 sited by the Her . Joseph Spencer Watson , and j B » e of his party , who reported to have heard some !
get tre expressions against the Chartists from his lips . Now , it is to be remembered , this young man , b ^ ? illiterate , did not enderstand Chartism ; therefore * " * mind w * s easily prejadieed ajcaimt it . The j ^ eT Gentleman gave notice that be should improye ¦ fog ^ ath next Sa&bath evening , and requested as many 1 ^* rrists to attend as could , as he was going to expo ¦** tne eT * l * ° f Chartism .

toNtJOW . —At & Meeting of ChaTtist ? , lately held at the Dispaioh Coffee House , Bride- Lane , Jleetstreet , in the «; iyof London , it was resolved— - Inat we , the Chartists of this locality , consider it absolutely necessary , as lovers , of freedom , that all passing occurrences , as far as is practicable , should be turned to the people's account , are of opinion that we should avail ourselves of the advantages aff jrded us by the House of Peers , in the recent acquittal of the Earl of Cardigan , charged with a criminal offence , by reason of' a non-compliance with the form of law ; we do therefore urge upon and request our brother Chartists to take into their consideration the propriety of cal ing a large public meeting as soon as possible , to show to our enemies
of noble Wood , that we are not indifferent to their many acts of injustice to the tried friends of the working classes , but more especially Frost , Jones , aud Williams . "—It was also resolved— " That a box be- purchased by the Chartists of this locality , expressly for the pnrposeof raising a subscription against the release of our tried and faithful friend , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., from York Castle . "—The treasurer was ordered to transmit thirteen shillings , voluntarily subscribed , to Mrs . Peddie , and the same sum to Mr . Carrier . Ten shillings were toted from tbe funds of this locality , towards defraying the expences of the delegate to Manchester , and one shilling to the petition committee . Somo new members were enrolled .
Fissburt . —A Coartist Benefit Society , under the name of the Finsbury Chartist Brothers , has been established here ; the principles of which are , the preserving of hard-earned Chartist pence from pothouse squandering , and the providing for them of a profitable investment ; perfect equality in laws and privileges ; liberal allowance according to the contribution ; good security for the funds ; and sharing the stock at Christmas . The rules may be seen or purchased , at any time , at Lunt ' s Coffee House , Clerkenwell Green .
Lambstii . —At a Poor Law meeting , holden the other day , in Lambeth , after resolutions denunciatory of this law of devils , and a petition praying for the restoration of the forty-third of Elizabeth had been adopted , Mr . Henry Ross proposed a resolution to the effect— " That the only effectual way of removing the existing abuses , was by extending the franchise to every man of twenty-one years of age , and of sound mind . " Mr . Ross then said that the speeches of the preceding speakers had expressed the sentiment contained in his resolution , and that he considered he should not be out of order by moving the resolution . Mr . Hine seconded the resolution , and , in the course of his observations ,
said the people wanted their Charter , and the fact was they must have it ; which was received with great applause . At this period of the proceedings the Chairman and a few others attempted to burke the preceding resolution . A person moved the thanks of the meeting U the Chairman , which , being seconded , the Chairman left his seat , without having put Mr . Ross ' s resolution to the meeting ; upon whieh Mr . BeBJamin Huggett stepped forward and said he was determined to test the opini on of the meeting on the subject , and therefore put it , when it was earned without opposition . Three cheers were then given for the People ' s Charter , and the meeting separated .
BERMONDSEY . The Chartists have been turned out of their place of meeting , Wootten ' s Temperance Coffee House , at the histance of the Rechabites and Teetotallers . They now meet weekly , however , at the Star Coffee House , Bermondsey , every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock . Asti-Co&n Law Humbug , and Striking Abguj cskts . —A meeting having been called bj placard , aanouncing a lecture to be given b y Mr . Sidney Smith , on the Corn Laws , at the ship , Long-lane , Bennondsey , oa Wednesday evening , the 2-4 ; h ulu , the Chartists of thi 3 locality mustered pretty strong on the occasion . As the worthies of the league ( aaving already been defeated three ti « e 3 by the working men proposing amendments ) comoaeaced
their proceediag withont haying the temerity of proj poaing a chairman , thinking that the Chartists } would not therefore interfere , they showed that they were not U be gulled in that manner ; and determined to put a resolution to the meeting , pledging ' them not to countenance any agitation short ot Universal Suffrage , and the principle contained in the Peopled Charter , which Mr . Wild endeavoured ! to explain . The scene which ensued , b * ffle 3 descrip-I tion ; for the league ushered into the room a body of poor deluded fellows , whom they had kept in another room , to try to put down the Chartists , but they were not to be put down by clamour . After a great deal of disturbance , Mr . Rose got up and obtained
silence : ; he stated to tho meeting that he wished them to understand that they ( the ChartiBts ) were not opposed to tho Repeal of the Corn Laws , as stated by tbe lecturer , but what he maintained wa 3 , that as the House of Commons was at present constituted they could not expect them to repeal this odious law ; therefore , he contended , it was their duty to agitate for the Charter , which would repeal that and all other bad laws . He challenged the lecturer to open discussion on the point . At this part of the proceedings , the worthy lecturer lost his temper , and made use of a striking argument , by knocking his ( Mr . R's ) bat off , to the uiher end of the room . Mr . Rose then told the lecturer that
it should be the dearest blow he ever struck ; for he would follow him to all parts of the metropolis , and move amendments . He then proposed three groans for the lecturer ; three cheers for the Charter ; and three for Feargus O'Connor ; which were given in good style . ¦ SAINSBRO ' . —We have received a very cheering communication from a few Chartists at Gainsbro ' , which we regret we have not room for . At states that they frrend sending subscriptions at times to aid the cause , but they haTe not at present any place for regular meetings to mingle their sentiments ; they
must therefore be content with reading the people ' s Star to enlighten their path , until some regular meeting is agreed upon , which thiy hope will not be long first . WORCESTER . —Thing 3 are h < Te going on bravely . The Chartists of this town having found their numbers to increase until their qnarters were too small for them , have engaged a large room in Pheasant Court , New-street , in which their meetings are now holden weekly on Monday evenings . The National Charter Association is every week receiving new accessions of members from among the Worcester Chartists .
HA 3 S 1 I . TON . —The Committee of the Universal Sucrage Association of this town , having invited Mr . Thomasson , of Newcastle , and Mr . Gardener , of Glasgow , one of the members of the Central Committee for Scotland , to pay a visit to this place , and to deliver addresses to the inhabitants ; Mr . Thomas-win arrived on Monday afternoon , the 22 d inst . but Mr . Gardener found it inconvenient for himself to attend ; and Mr . Matthew Cnllen , also a member of the Central Committee , on his way from Stonehouse to Glasgow , on Monday morning , kindly conseated to supply Mr . Gardener ' s place , and to remain to the meeting in the evening , and then go on to Glasgow on Tuisday morning , along "with Mr . Thomasson . A church was procured for tbe meeting .
The Provost of the burgh wag waited upon for his authority to call tke meeting by public drum , but being from home , the first bailie ( Mr . M'Calluui ) as being next in anthority , was applied to , and in a sp \ ris * d manly manner ga-re his permission to the pubhe erier to warn the inhabitants to the meeting , by tuck of drum . This was done in the fore part of tbe daj ; the news soon spread through the whole town , that a Chartist meeting would be held in the evening , at half-past seven o ' clock , in the second Secession Church ; and , moreover , and above all , the Hamilton instrumental 1 and patriotically turned one at sun down , and thundered martial music through the streets , to tbe pleasure and joy of the Chartiats , who include nearly the whole of the working classes of this town , and to the astonishment , pain , and wrath of their enemies . After marching through the principal streets , tbe band and a concourse of people received Messrs . Thomasson aud
Culien , At Mr . M'Crae ' s New Coffee House , Castlestreet , along with some of the members of the Committee , aad all proceeded to the place of meeting , the sounds of the music reverberating from the lofty houses as they passed along , and the startled inmates came rushing to the windows to behold once more the " terrible Chartists . " The meeting was ably addressed by the Chairman , Mr . Thomas Crawford , and by Me * srs . Thomasson , Robertson , Cullen , and others . Resolutions affirming the principles of the Charter , and a petition and memorial , in behalf of the Welsh victims , were adopted . Votes of thanks were given to Messrs . Thomasson and Cnllen ; to the managers of the Church , for their goodness in granting the use of it ; to the musical band , for their services ; and to the Chairman , when the meeting , which was one of the largest held here for a locg time , broke up . The band played the strangers and committee to Mr . M'Crae ' s Coffee House , where the committee and band spent the remainder of the
evening . NEWARK , —A correspondent writes thus : — " A friend to our cause went from this town to Collingham { a large village six miles from Newark ) on the 16 th of last month , to ascertain the opinion of the people there respecting the New Poor Law ; he found that nothing could exceed their detestation of it ; be unmediately sat down and wrote the petition from the Star , and f * nt round the bellman , and in two hour * it was signed by two hundred and eight of the inhabitants : the working class , almost to a mas , signed it , and not a few of the middle class : it was imaaediately forwarded to Mr . Fielden for
presentation , who has thiB day , by post , informed us , that he has presented and supported it , and says , that he wishes that every town in the kingdom would petition against it , as the House is going into Committee on it on March tbe 8 th . Sir , I am persuaded that if means were adopted similar to those taken by our friend , that an immense number of petitions might be pouredinto the House from the agricultural districts , which would , perhaps , have more weight thau eoming from manufacturing districts . We could get a great number from bur own vicinity had we time and the means ; the country people waat leaders . "

WARRXNG ^ oh . —Judging from a pommunication which w « hate received , we suppose the cause to be gett i ng we on here . Bl '^ tTON . — ( Staffordshire )—Public Meet-I > 'Q AND Tea Party . —A public nweting was held in the large room of the Bird-in-H&nd Inn , Bilston , on . Monday last , te which Mr . George White was invited . Several friends from Wolverhwnpton attended and assisted in the business . At five o ' clock the room was well filled , when the business commenced by Mr . Mogg , of Wolverhampton , being unanimously called to the chair . He' said that the present meeting -was called for the purpose of forming a National Charter Association in the important and populous town of Bilston . The time had now arrived when it became
the imperative duty of all real Cbarusts to rganisa He , therefore , hoped that tbe men and women of Bilston would do their duty ; as a tea party and ball was also to be held on this occasion , and as their friends , White and Taylor , were present , he would conclude by introducing the lecturer for the district , Mr . Dean Taylor . The worthy and talented lecturer then proceeded at some length , and , with his usual energetic eloquence , to lay bare the present UDjust system , exposed in an able manner the hypocrisy of pretended Christians , and delivered a long tirade of invective against tbe parsons wbo fleece their nocks , instead of protecting them . He denounced their hollow deception in continually preaching about the soul , when the bodies of thousands were falling into
premature decay , through want of the common necessaries of life ; and concluded his address amid hearty cheers . The Chairman then rose to introduce Mj , Geo . White , He said he need say very little vMth regard to him , as be was already well-known t ' j the Chartists , as one of those who had suffered imi ^ rmonment for his principles . He felt great pleasu ; . « in introducing him to the meeting . Mr . White , or < making hi » appearance , was heartily greeted by the , meeting . He addressed them as fellow-sufferers and fe ' ilow-slavea As his worthy friend , Taylor , had given ' . hem an able address on spiritual things , he ¦ would turr W $ attention to the temporal side of the question , an- j endeavour to give a good and substantial reas > ; n , why every one then present should be a member of
the National Charter Association . fle then went on to shew the manner in which the working classes of this country were robbed of the fn jts of their industry , by aud under a pretext of law , which laws were forced on them by men who did . no manner of work , and whose whole lives were sp jnt in the invention of new modes of torturing the u * efui portion of society . He then explained the power which the working classes possessed to rid themselves c / the intolerable grievance , and pointed out the useless fless of expecting men who were liying by the rotter ness of the Bystem to give their cordial assistance ! ji gaining the Charter . He maintained that all wort ing men , who stood aloof from the present movement , were the real tyrants of society , as it was through th < fa culpable neglect ami apathy
that tyranny had its existence . He continued for a while to shew the u ecessity of a firm ami determined union amongst the people , and sat down repeatedly chtered . At eight o ' clock tea was served up in excellent style , and dic ^ great credit to the females engaged in that part of the . business ; after which dancing commenced , and wa * . kept up for an hour with great glee and spirit , the f ^ ntlenien from Wolverhamptou taking an active part At this stage of the proceedings , a highly intelligent female , named Langston , arose and addressed th ' j company in a neat and exceedingly clever manner , shewing thum tbe necessity of discontinuing tbe ball , for the purpose of allowing those who had not bean there at the opening of the proceedings , an opportunity of bearing Messn . White and Taylor .
Tfais was tissented to by the meeting . Mr . White then addressed tbe females on the benefits that would accrue to them by a good system of government being established , and showed them many reasons why females should , take &n interest in the present straggle for freedom . Mr . Dean Taylor also addressed the meeting in an animated speech , and was applauded by the meeting . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . Mogg , for his conduct in the chair , to which he replied in an appropriate manner . Three cheers were given for the Charter , three for Feargus O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and thr « e for the
incarcerated Chartists ; after which upwards of thirty members were enrolled in the National Charter Association .
