Ten billing vere voted to the treasurer , and the same sum to each of the secretaries . Mr . Charles Qlew was reelected chairman for the next half jear , Mi . George Ferguson vice-chairman . Mr . William Homason was chosen corresponding secretary , Mr . James Brack , local secretary . A number of names were then proposed from each print fieM , and arrangements » &de to ¦ visit the tradesmen of the pl » oe t « oo-open * e for the darter . A library ccaanittee of Me , five to constitute a quorum , were then chosen for purchasing boots Step * were taken to secure a p 6 ace sufficiently large for Mr . William Thompson ' s second IectOTe on Church « nd State separation as also a lecture on the People ' s
Charter in Rentan . The ckealar oi Hessrs . Lovett ; and C » llins was brought vcder discttssion , and its merits canvassed , when tfcefcflowing resolution , moved iy James Cameron , seconded by Wiliam Thomas ©* , irasunanimously carried . "" That it « s the opinioa of this meeting , tkat the " new move , " as set fort * , by Messrs . Ltfvett and CoITwss , &c , is calculated to destroy the present organisation , end to crests a division < m our present ranks ; we tb « efore resoJre -to abide by the present movement , an 4 . to press forward , detersaned to -countenance no man , « or any perty of men , who do not go for the whole Charter and notkingle&s ; and that we tender ovr thanks to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and the Editor of the Jivrthern Star , tor their increasing advocacy of the rights of the w < jrting classes ^ and that we hare confidence in them so long as they continue to advocate the same principles . " A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman ,-and the meeting broke np , each resolved to bold by the e-k of Chartism so long as a plank of her would hold together .
SAX . I 5 BUKY . —The Chartists resident in Salisbury snd adjoining villages held their weekly meeting at "the Charter Coffee House , Market-place , Salisbury , on Wednesday evening , ApriliSth , 1841 . A spirited discussion took place on Messrs . Lovett anrt C . n ¦ » jilan of organisation , at the close of which it was resolved ¦ unanimously :: — That this meeting , views with the deepest surprise and regret the conduct of Messrs Lovett , Collins , and Co ., in endeavouring to -cause a divMon of the Chartist body throughout the country , by bringing forward a new plan of organisation , in opposition to the plan laid down by the people ' s delegates in February last , at Manchester ,- we also return our hearty fhanfru to our long-tried friend , Peargus O'Connor , for his manly exposure of the new move , in the people ' s widely circulated paper , the Kerfkent Siar , which paper we are resolved to support to the utmost of our power . "
WORCESTER . —We have had a glorious week indeed . The Chartist bark rides proudly here . Mr . W . Dean Taylor , Chartist lecturer , arrived on Saturday , the Sith ult when , according to engagement , he preached two sermons in the Hall of Science , on the Sunday . — On Monday evening , he addressed the meeting to a considerable length , in passing the Natitional Petition . On Tuesday evening , he delivered' a most able and talented Lecture on the New Poor Law , which made a lasting impression on all who heard it . In conclusion he pointed out the impossibility of repealing that law * nd the folly of attempting to do any thing less than remove the whole of the murderous system . —On
Wednesday evening , Mr . Taylor lectured in the open air , on the Quay , to a numerous company , during which he expounded the Charter and its principles in the plainest and yet most talented manner we have ever heard , and pointed ont the inconsistency of religionists , who practice our holy principles in their churches , and yet deny and oppose both them and us in a national sense . —Mr . Mr . 3 > eau Taylor again lectured on the Quay , when , by request , he exposed the murderous and infamous system practiced in the Bastile Unions . Indeed , that gentle man's sermons and lectures are entirely of a new chazseter , and while engaged in their delivery , he so rivets the attention of the audience as to leave an impression that will not soon be erased .
Socialism r . chartism . —On Thursday , the 29 th nit , this city was posted with large bills announcing a discussion to take place between Mr . J . G . Holyoake , Social missionary , and Mr . I > ean Taylor , Chartist missionary , of Birmingham , upon the question , " Whether Trill Socialism oi Chartism the sooner benefit the working classes ? " On the part of the Socialist , it was contended that Chartism had been a long time in operation and had effected nothing , that Socialism had only cemiBfcnced a few years ago , and had achieved wonders ; that Chartism would not give to the labourer his reward ; that the Charter was a meagre measure ; that the greatest portien of the Chartists were religious professors ; and that no good ever prooreded from them ; that America had more than tfee Chartists had ever
dared te ask for ; and that the communities of Robert Owtn were the only institutions that could ever benefit the people . Mr . Taylor contended , on the part of the Chartists , that Socialism had been in existence longer than Chartism ; that Robert Owen ha-1 advocated the principles of Socialism for the last fifty yeare ; that Chartism hail changed the public mind , and was ¦ vigorously engaged in imparting a political education to the people , -wtale Socialism wasted-its time in lectnres upon science ; that Chartism had , in every sense , effected the most ia the leaEt time , while by far the greatest numbers rallied round the standard of Chartism . Mr . Taylor also contended that the Charter ¦ w ould empower the peopl * to obtain a proper command over their labour ; that , in fast , the people , with ths
Charter , would soon remedy exis : ing evils ; that America does not possess what we are asking for ; that the Charter is the nearest approximation to universal principles of right of anything that has yet appeared ; that instead of no good ever being produced by religious professors , the only cammunitiea that have ever prospered in our times are the religious communities of America , while every community tried by Robert Owen and the Socialists has been a failure , and that the community system cannot possibly benefit the people of this cr the next generation ; that the law is against the Socialists in the purchase of land ; that the lawmakers could enact laws to take their property from them , as in the reign of Henry Ylll ., with the monasteries , &c ; that the establishment of the Colonisation
and Emigration Society of Birmingham , established by Socialists , is one proof of its impracticability in this country without a change in law and Government ; that numbers had left Tytherly , the paradise this antagonist had described , which would not have been had they enjoyed more happiness there than away ; that allowing thirty to be made happy at Tytberly , for the whole time Socialism had been agitated , how long Would it be , according to the rules of progression , before the whole people of England were gathered in ? And since £ 59 Im wanted per each male member to a community , what length of time will it be before the handloom weavers , who earn only from 5 s . to 7 s . per week , are admitted ? Mr . Taylor clearly shewed it would not reach them at all , and therefore would never benefit them or any other class of the people .
STOUB 3 RIDGE . —At the weekly meeting of th < Chartists , on Wednesday last , April 2 Sth , the plan o lovett , Collins , and Co ., was brought forward , and thi loUowing resolutions were passed unanimously : — " That having carefully considered the plan of Lovett Collins , and Co ., we are of opinion , that though g < xx in itself , as an auxiliary to the present plan , it is eal culated to retard the progress of our glorious cause inasiKuck as it is put forward as a leading movement without first being submitted to the Executive . I attempted to be carried forward it mast divide u
into two parties—a thing more to be dreaded than anj thing else . We therefore trust the parties that ha" ? pat it forward will , at ones , like honest men , manful ] give it up , and join the National Charter Associatioi and prove themselves worthy the ¦ confidence of tl people . " " That the thanks of this meeting are dui and are hereby given , to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., fc his almost superhuman exertions in . the cau 38 of th people , and to the Editor of the Norliern St-zr , for bJ vigilance and watchfulness over our rights ; we ai determined , therefore , to give our undivided snppoj to that paper while it continues its cresent course . "
BROMSSBOVE .-Mr . W . Deaa Taylor arrived here on Saturday last , en his way from Worcester to Birmingham , when , by the . request of the Chirtists oi this place , he agreed to stay to preach in the licensed Caartist meeting room . Be gave a lucid exposiiion oi B » und principles from the . scripture , upon the text" For the Lord is our Judge , "the Lord is oar Lawgiver , the Lord is oht King ;"—from which he exposed the CQBdact of the Judges , the nature of the law , the viilany of law-makers , and the evil of kings , and placed there in lively contrast with the whole world governed by justice , by the rule of right , and the law of love Ihe Charter obtained by Britons would be the watch-Word of liberty to the nations of the world , sad th « GommaDeemeat of tbe era of plenty and of peace .
LXNUTHCrOW . —On Thursday evening , the 29 it Sit , we had a visit from Mr . Lowery of Newcastle . We held a pnblic meeting at the Market Cross , on the said evening , when Mr . John Gun was unanimo * Ely called to the ehair , aad after a few remarks introduced Mr . Lowery to the meeting . We had a glorious musta ef the working men , and , as usual , a . slight sparkling « f the middle etas at the aaiskirU of tie crowd . The meeting was most attentive from the beginning to the dose of the proceedings , and we believe that much good "was done , aad that the good cause will advance ben . It proved that the Chartists are the most numerooi aad inflaential body in Lialithgow , for wa d « not remember to have seen a more numerous , orderly , and Intelligent meeting , for a long time back , and the great proof of Its utility is already apparent from the abuss < rf the Whigs aad Tories . Much praise is due to a few patriotic friends in the band here , who turned out aad enlivened the meeting with a few airs of freedom .

LEEDS . —There was a very numerous meeting at he nom on Monday night The Council were right ( tad to sea-fcat their appeal of last week had the good sflwet of drawing a larger meeting than has been usual rf fete ; they would only say , " Go en as yo * have Mgun , And see what can be done with union and perieverauec Let the mill , the warehouse , aad the shop , > e plf . ees for the members to spread their principles tnd make converts . " Surely , if Christian ministers » n urge on their members to adept this Hue of coniuct , the Chartists have a double right ; for their object is to reduce Christianity to practice , by doing unto -others as they would others should do unto them , and loving one another as brethren aad Chartists , Chartists of Leeds ! arouse ye , and come to your duty ,
those of you who have not enrolled yourselves as members of the Association consider , and ask yourselves if yoa are acting in the way you ought to do . Study it , and sure we are that you will come and have your names put down , as those who are ready to work as well as talk . Two friends from Wortley addressed the meeting on Monday night , after whkh the following resolutions were adopted : —! . " That we , the Chartists of Leeds , do hereby thank that unflinching patriot and advocate of the poor man ' s rights , Feargus O'Connor , for his able eiposure of the deceit and treachery of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co . in trying to deprive us of the last spark ot freedom left to us , under the mask of patriots , therefore , we are determined to 6 tand by O'Connor so long as he stands unflinchingly by the people ' s cause . We are also determined not to unite
with any party who would try to raise themselves , not only by the downfall of the best of patriots , but by the downfall of the cause of which he is so able an advocate . " 2 . " That the members of the Association view with pleasure numerous desertions from the " new movement" party , headed by Lovett , Collins , and Co . ; we consider their explanations sufficient for us to receive them back again into their own ranks , having full confidence in them as honest Chartists . " 3 . " That a collection bs made is the room on Monday night for the benefit of the widow of John Frost ; and every honest Chartist is hereby requested to use his best exertions among bis shopmates and friends , to raise subscriptions for the above purpose , and pay over the same on Monday night ' Two or three friends will address tbe meeting ou Monday night .

THE CHARTIST APOSTATES , OR TRAITORS IN THE CAMP . " Have they so loDg held ont with us nntir'd , And stop they now for breath ?—well , be it so . " " The wrath of Heaven attends the steps of traitors . " The London league of trading traitors seem resolved to abide by their secret sins , all manifest as they have now become . They know their guilt , but pride prevents them from owning it , aud they think , by persisting in it , that they can make evil good . A noble mind ingenuously confesses its faults , and atones for them by penitence ; but these men ' s minds are ignoble . They have reprinted their wily document in their halfpenny and penny periodicals , and , moreover , they have written angry letters in defence of it They want to thrnst it down our throat * .
Hetherington , who publishes the Odd Fellow , and an odd fellow he is , writes that Lovett ' s Whig Chartism elicited the approbation of the opponents of Chartism . Not a doubt of it ! and that was the reason why it did not elicit the approbation of the Editor of the Xorthem Star . Lovett says that our Editor called national education a national jackass : this Mr . Hill yery properly denies . He did not call national education per se a national jackass ; but only Mr . Lovett ' s . Mr . Lovett was the jackass , and this may account for his stupid obstinacy in not perceiving a difference which
distinguishes him bo truly . " Conception is a blessjng , but not as he may conceive . " It was an odd way of spending his time in prison to write a book to please those who had put him there , and no wonder that an odd fellow should praise it Hetherington appears , by his own confession to be the most " toad-spotted " traitor of the list He was willing to concede all to Hume—even his very name . Our male Delilahs were in secret paction with the enemy—bonds and imprisonment had been tried in vain , and bo we were to be shorn of our strength , and to have our eyes put out , that we might make sport for the Philistines . The words were to be hexc 'em and cleave 'em .
What business had these men to make a bargain with the enemy without consulting the people ? We were to be sold , and no questisns asked . We can forgive our enemies , but not these false friends . Let the unclean things go out from among us . Lovett ought to have been ashamed of himself to think of obtaining men's names in the way which he did . He thonght if he got the names , he should get the men . But even those whe signed t « his sophistry recant as soon as they see its sinister purpose . Lovett is not be envied . He must read his own condemnation when he reads the letters ot those who recal their names from his tail of Whig-Chartists . He must stand self-condemned . His own name has now lost the spell which it once possessed of calling other names around it He is a fallen star—his ambition has thrown him over the hobby-horse , which he wished to mount , and he now lies , never to rise again .
The National Association must be set aside , because Lovett did not love it . ' Let him go to the Whigs , who gave him a black beetle for his dinner . The middle classes , finding that the boasted influence of their Jtraitor-tools has so signally failed , will be the first to despise them . They must respect the people all the more for withstanding this mean and treacherous attempt All else had been of no avail , and now this , the most trying of all , has proved of no avail also . Had an enemy done it , we could have bome it ; but they were our faniiliy friends , who sought to make use of the love we bore them to seduce and ruin us . All honour to the honest people who have come out of this trial nobly , and all the better for it , as they have done out of all previous trials /
The trading politicians who formed this compact with each other and with the WkigB , for their own interests , to which they would have sacrificed the interests of the people , expected to join the patronage of the middle classes by it , who are not so poor as the people . They were ready to abandon the cause for filthy lucre . We are fighting the battle of all nations , of all time—the battle of truth and humanity , of earth and of Heaven , too ; but what was all this to the pockets of our patriot-booksellers , and middle-class traders . They thought more of paymasters Hume and Co . than of the people . We wish " the Whigs joy of them .
Hetherington , the spokesman of the party , saya that the people are deluded and humbugged , because he can't delude and humbug them . He compares Dan O'Connell to Feargus O'Connor ; but he knows that thera is the greatest contrast between them . The Chartists are Chartists of themselves—they are independent of any man ; and they do well when they denounce those who differ from them in opinion , beaiuse to differ from them is to differ from truth and justice . LoTett accuses the Sorthern Star ; but what paper has bten conducted so nobly , so candidly , amid such contention ? The Editor inserts letters written against himself , knowing that the people will judge between him and the writers . Explanation of an offence generally increases it ; and the attempt at self-justification
by the traitors is even worse than their treason . On finding that those whom they had entrapped take the first opportunity to escape , they call them poltroons , and say that they fly off at the dictation of O'Connor . No ; they do not renounca Lovett and Co . at O'Connor's dictation ; but at the dictation of their own Chartist consciences . They say that the middle classes are deterred from joining us by their dislike of O'Connor , and so we must repudiate him to please their prejudices . We want no such associates , if the price of their friendship is to be an act of the basest ingratitude . Who could have any pleasure in ths Charter with the knowledge that he gained it thus ? We spurn such counsels , and feel the utmost contempt for those who can give them . In the days of the French revolution , such men would have been immediately guillotined .
Hypocrites . ' to wear the cloak of Chartism as a disguise for Whiggery ! to mask their villainy with honesty ! Assassins . 1 to stab the- public cause for their private interests . But Lovett no longer loves it ; Cleave has ihown the cloven foot ; and Hetherington deserves his imprisonment , —not for blaspheming the bishops , but / or blaspheming oar holy cause . The Whigs should release him for the service he has done them . And now , what shall we say in conclusion ? Why this : that all those who flee from the clutches of Lovett , Cleave , and Hetherington , « hould be received into the ranks again with pardon aad praise ; else let the storks skare the fate of the canes . The traitors who have ooaspired against the cause , and belied the Chartist name , should for ever be struck off our list , and for ever fixed in their own—gibbeted tot the scorn and derision of all due men . John Waxkiks . London , May 3 , 1841 .

Raising of Rents . —We regret to find that the present Dote of Mariborongh , immediately npon succeeding to the Dukedom , gave notice to the tenants of his extensive estates to quit ; and this for the purpose of raising their rents . These rents have since been put at a mo « t extravagant sum ; and they have no other oltern&tire , than quietly to submit to them , or to sacrifice a considerable portion of their property by " going out" and " selling off .

In the Codrt of Queen ' s Bench , oa Thursday , the 29 th alt ., a writ of habeas corpus was obtained , at the suit of Mr .

Yonng Williams had for some time been in the hands of these money-lenders , from whom the father lad recovered him once before ; and he had then sent him to Holland ; bat the money-lenders seat after him , and brought him back , and now detain him .
The bekvice , or the disservice , which the recent debate on the Irish Registration question may do Ministers in England , is a somewhat important matter . In their oonduct of the measure—in reckless legislation without knowledge , in the profli gacy of their assertions and abandonment of principles in rapid alternation , and in exquisite elaboration of defeat—they have exceeded even themselves . They have made their word a jest , and have done their best to destroy all confidence in every thing they Bay or propose ; for their ultimate acts ; are ever at variance with their professed intention : they seem incompetent to perceive any necessary relation between promise and performance , and to feel as little responsibility for the fulfilment of their own pledges as one man does for fulfilling the pledges of another . The late farce of suffrage-extension may serve them , or Mr . O'Connell , in Ireland : here it will be best for them when it ia all forgotten . —Spec
Garden Allotments at Wohksop . —For the past year , his Grace the Duke of Newcastle has , in the kindest manner , through the influence of hisSteward , Edward Woollet Wilmot , Esq . allotted , ai a moderate rent , one rood of land contiguous to the town , to each poor family requesting the same , and residing in the parish of Worksop , to be cultivated entirely by spade husbandry . The good effect that has arisen to the inhabitants of this town , is incaloulable ; many a poor family through this means has been enabled to grow as much barley as to feed their pigs ; also potatoes and vegetables for themselves to serve
the whole year . In the evening , and particularly during this season of the year , what can be more gratifying or pleasing to the feelings of the philanthropist , than to see numbers of individuals hard at work , each trying to cultivate his small plot of land to the best advantage , so as to vie with each other in making their allotments the most productive . — Let us hope for the time to come when every landed proprietor will follow the example of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle , and who knows what amount of misery and destitution might be prevented . —Nottingham Journal .
The Death of a President is a new occurrence in tbe history of the "Union ; no other occupant of the post has died during the term of his Presidency . The decease of the chief officer of the Republic , however , does not produce the same confusion as the death of a monarch with us in Europe ; though , according to the theory of monarchical government , " the king never dies . " By the constitution of the United States , the Vice-President at once succeeds to the chief office , and is succeeded in turn by a provisional officer of the Senate . There is no change of Ministers ; no dissolution of Parliament , for Congress must sit its full term , neither more nor less . Hence , contrary to the general dogma , the Republican forms exhibit more steadiness of working , even on so critical an occasion , than is to be found in the boasted limited monarchy . —Spectator .
The worthy Middlesex " beak" who desired to sack thft sum of £ 3 , 000 on condition of procuring the liberation of Medhurst , the young gentleman who btabbed a fellow pupil to death one day , has raised a storm of virtuous indignation on which he probably did not calculate . The horror which his brother magistrates affect to feel for this atrocity must be more galling than anything else , since , whoever he is , he is pretty well aware that there are very few of them who would not be glad to pocket £ 3 , 080 for rendering such a service , provided it could be safely managed . The being found out is the unendurable part of the transaction , and as that
misfortune has occurred , the delinquent may calculate on hearing of the most disagreeable comments being made on the affair . It is the naked atrocity of the act which is so disgusting to the Middlesex magistracy . Not that any of them object to turn their iniluence to good account when opportunity occurs , or that they would see any sin in reaping substantial advantages from its exercise , provided it came in a loss questionable shape . But it is the money consideration that is so shocking to their sensibilities ; and the publicity given to the affair will , no doubt , enhance their contempt for the poor devil who has allowed himself to be so shamefully detected . —Satirist .
