THE FIBST BID OF THE AUCTION . Thk next best thing to the obtaining of atieterj ^ the knowi a ^ bew to make a right HBO of it- The Vfcigj h » Te beea taught by this election that they we powerless u a faction ; that their only hope and prop is in the people . But they are deep dogs , fhey well know how to make the best of their defeat ; sad if the people be not earefal to exact the fall benefit of their * dT » nt * g «> M position , they mil anredlybe robbed of bo mach ofit as Whig treachery gad finesse can filch from them . Let no man look for generosity or erea honesty from the Whira .
Ttej are essentaauy ^ trmders ; imbued with tie Tery fife of bargaining and triekery ; always anxious to regain power , asd unable so to do withcot the people , they will now setk to ( jjeapen , asd banter with tboee against whom they held dosed the door of the Market-place as long as they could . The * finality" doctrine , falling Bhort $ f their own mark , will now be , of course , abandoned , and a Suffrage bid will be forthwith Bade for popular sopport . The " Aou » e-hold gods " will ag&in give forth their influence , and the Ballot-mongers bellow out the praises of their
mercbaBdise . Indeed , the game is began already . At Huddersfield , an Association h now forming , having Household Sa £ rage and the Ballot for its objects ; and there is no doobt that the example will be followed through , the whole eoontry , if the people do not put an extinguisher upon the movement in its infancy . And ihh , we tell them , will be done . We tell them that the time for trimming and cajolery has gone by ; that the people will mock every pretension to liberality , short of the fall meassre of universal right . The people must do it , oz they are traitors to themselves . And we know they
will do it j their noble stand against the clap-trap ery of cheap bread , raised at so picked a time , giTes « s full confidence . If the oily tongue and hollow heart failed to accomplish its deceitful purpose , baring all the specious aid of porerty and hunger , we hare no fear of any minor effort being more successful . The people hare been too often bit to place themselves again within the reach of the biters . Thtir colours are nailed to the mast h « ad—the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing
less than the Charter . Ths mountain may come to Hohanuaed as soon as it pleases , for not one inch will Mohammed budge towards the mountain . They may writhe and mouth , and kick , for a time , against the pricks , but finding the people's stern resolution taken and immoreable , they will be fain enough to pve the fixed price for a new lease of Downingttreet , and again take cfoce as the servants of the people ardent , zealous , and honest , this time , because compelled to be so .

Good Nkws for Shkfpuld . —Mr . O'Connor Jww i * $ received numerou * complaints of the noninurtim of correspondenceJrovt SheffUld ( which never arrived * l the ojficej and bang most anxious to make the btar as beneficial an organ , as possible for the whole of the working classes , hat appointed Mr . Gtarge Julian Homey correspondent fur Sheffield and surrounding districts . All per tons teho may have communication ! for the Star , from Mr . H ? t district , wUi , upon hit instalment , transmit the smme to him for arrangment . Mr . Hartley being , at present , under an engagement , at West Riding Lecturer , respectfully requests that the delegates and managers of his mission , will
be good enough to call a meeting at as early a time at it perfectl y tonoenient to themselves , for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not some other person can be substituted for him during the last month of his time . Mr . H . feels as he will be still in a part of the West Riding which requires hit services , that a double service at the tame expence to the Riding may be thus performed ; but should the delegates even express a desire for the fulfilment of his entire time , he will most cheerfully obey . Mr . H . also begs to say that he will bectme district agent for the Star , and trill establish a plan of serving at their own hornet , those ) perton » teho have note to come a great
distance , and at great inconvenience , Mr . H . will still lecture m his district , and as far at Barnsley , Chesterfield , Rotherham , and so forth ; and trill , as far as is consistent with his duty to his office , be ever ready to obey the calls of ihose who think that his presence may be serviceable to the good cause . As soon as Mr . Hartley is settled ; ( and he requests his friends to be on the look out for a suitable residence J he will give due notice of his address and arrangements . Mxethyb TrDTii . —Mr . O'Connor tcl'l cheerfully accept the invitation of his Welsh friends as soon as possible after his liberation ; but he is resolved that his next tour shall be one of vroBK—nct of mere " vsels ; * display ;" . and has , therefore , resolved not to incur the fatigue and heavy expence of travelling , teithout further remuneration than the greet
pleasure of being teearied . He icilf not accept of an invilatioti from any tovm or place until the people therein ere prepared to present him with petition sheets , for the Charter , and Restoration of Frost Williams and Jones , signed according t » a scale of census to be hereafter laid down . Suppose 10 , 000 for Merihyr Tydvil . Then llr . O'Connor can relieve each locality of all the expence of postage and transmission of petitions ; and can have the whole petition arranged for the meeting of Parliament ; where this cannot be accomplished , Mr . O'Connor ' s presence will not be required , as Chartism will not have found itself to be in a sound state ; and his visits would be too short for immediate practical use for the purpose of initiation . The same answer applies to Hyde , and scores of places to which he has been invited .
J . W . C— "O'Connor ' s Release" shall appear in a week » r two . T . C . asks , "If a person is unable to procure a register of the exact time of his birth , owing to some negligence , either on the part of his parents or thejd frk , at the time he was baptised , —will the testimony of both his parents , accompanied with a written statement in the family Bible of his and the rest of the children s ages as they came into existence , be sufficient to establish that fact ? " We should think it would . Joseph Rottell . —They do not . The Nottikgham Chartists wish to have the name of some one of the National Charter Association in-Newry , Ireland . Natiosai Chabteb Association . — The Provisional
Secretary writes us : — "i wish you to notice to Hull , Leeds , Keighley , Nantwich , Milnrow , Dnesbury , Delph , and Sunderland , to send me their addresses . William Worsdell , of Hull , wrote for cards , hut afforded me no clue to his address " We have received no Scottish Patriot this week . The Notice of Mr . BolwelPs lecture at Devonport , which took place on the 4 th instant , was not posted for us until the \ Zlh , and did net reach us until the 15 th—just eight days later than it ought to have done . News to be of any value at all must be sent to us when freih . J . SitiTH , PLTMOtTTH . — We know not what he means by "" great dissatisfacton prevailing among the 1
Western Rads by their matter being treated with neglect . " If there be any neglect it is their own—not ours . We have always inserted everything they have sent us , and have never delayed it for a single week when received in time . The complaints of the women about a deficiency of police news , murders , rapes , < £ c , shall receive all due attention , with doe time and circumstance . Bekkard M'CAKTjrET , of 13 , Cross-Hall Street , Liverpool , will feel obliged to the person who wrote la him from London , under the signature of Cosmo , for his real name and address . The report of the election meeting at Keltering , holden on the Glh instant , reached us on the 16 */» . — Rather too stale .
Mr . Waij , begs to state , in answer to the kind tntttalion from some of the friends in Brighton and Maidslone , thai he will feel proud to accept of their offer , when he finds his duties will permit him . His friends shall hear from him in a short time , and if he can by any means spare timt to visit them , he will .

S \ J KtlBBIiAKS . —Lectukb ow Teetotalism . —On Monday evening last , Mr . George Bions delivered an able and eloqnent address in the Arcade Room , on ( he subject of Teetotalifim . This lecture was delivered in compliance with a special invitation from the Committee of the Total Abstinence Society , and when it is remembered that this Committee , or a part of thf m , refused the use of the room for a tea to Messrs . Williams and Binns , on their liberation from prison , the fact of their inviting Mr .
Binns now is a etroDg proof that & more liberal and rational spirit pervades the members of it . It also Bhewa thit Chartists and Chartism are differently estimated now . The room was crowded , and the enthusiastic manner in which Mr . Binnswa 9 received , the cheers throughout his address and at its close , proved that the audience appreciated his services , it . was announced , at the close of Mr . Binns ' s address , that in compliance with a similar invitation , Mr . Williams would deliver an address in the same place , next Monday evening .
UUvDEfiSf I £ ZiDi—Magistrates' Office , Satkrdat , Jcit io . —Mr . Copstock , cabinet-maker , teetotaller , and &nti-Corn Law repealer was charged ¦ with having broken the windows of Mr . Turner , currier , by throwing stones on Tuesday , the 21 st of June , when the eonnty candidates were about to address the people , who had peaceably assembled to hear them , when the base and brutal Whigs made the bloody attempt to ride them down without the least provocation . The case was defended by Mr . Clay , whose great abilities were unable to shake the evidence of the witness , who swore to having seen the stone thrown by the prisoner break the square . Although many more were broken , the Magistrates fined him 4 s . Would this have been the case had they proved it against the Cc artists !

m ftTtWCTiEY . —On Thursday night , or early on Friday morning last , a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs . Young and Co . whieh was fortunately got under without much damage having been done . Prompt assistance was rendered by every one present to stop the ravages of the fire , and among the most conspicuous in working the engine was the Rev . Mr . Cooke , Catholic priest . SEHZLWORTH . —According io notice , meeting of rate payers was called » n the 10 th of Jane , to take into consideration the laying of a rate of 2 £ d . in the pound , the Rev . C . Quartsey in the chair , who stated the reasons for the rate being levied . Among the items was the sum of £ 32 which had been paid by the Churchwardens ; this it was contended would render the rate illegal , and upon thi « ground , an amendment was moved to adjourn for six months . The Reverend Chairman not thinking of opposition , was so disconcerted as to
be unable to carry on the meeting ; after a few words from one of his friends he declared the meeting was over bHt the rate would be levied . The antirate party issued placards exhorting the rate-payers not to pay an illegal rate . This caused another notice to be affixed to the church door , calling another meeting for the 24 th June , when the Rev . H . M . Villiers , vicar , took the chair . The churchwardens proposed and seconded that a r » te of 2 Jd . in the pound be granted . An amendment was proposed for a rate of jd . in the pound which the Rev . chairman refnsed to put . This brought forth another amendment , namely , that the meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . The Rev , chairman Raid he would put no motion which had for its object the defeat of the rate . Great excitement prevailed ; the original motion was then put and lost b y a great majority . A poll was demanded and fixed for Friday and Satnrday 25 th and 26 th , from eight to four o ' clock each day . and at the close the rate was earned by 3 29 to 129 .
GLASGOW . —Testimonial , —It will be recollected by our readers that we noticed some time ago the laudable and unwearied exertions of Mr . James M'Birnie to induce the civil authorities to institute an investigation into the weights and measures used by the shopkeepers in this district . He was successful ; the weights of almost every shopkeeper were found deficient , and of course they were fined accordingly . Grateful for the benefit he had thus rendered the community , a number of the inhabitants met on
Wednesday evening week , in Scott ' s Coffee House , Mr . Robertson in the chair , when an elegant watch and appendages , value twelve guineas , were presented to him , by Mr . John M'Nab . The watch bore the following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . James M'Birnie , by the inhabitants of Cowcaddens , as a token of their esteem , for his perseverance in procuring an inspection of weights and measures . " Appropriate and patriotic addresses were delivered , and the evening was spent with that sociality which such an occasion was calculated to inspire .
MXDDLETON . -Silk Trade . —The silk trade is growing very inactive , and there is every pign of a very bad winter for the silk weavers . The Corn-Law-repealing silk manufacturers have already reduced some fabrics of work more , from one weaver , than would have purchased flour for two weavers . Block Pbjnti . \ q . —This trade is very bad at present , and there is every sign of it beiBg still worse .

Saltobd HT 7 RDBED Q . UAMEE SESSIONS . ' -THE Ashtow Rioters . —The twenty-six men indicted for rioting and destroying houses during the election at Ashton-under-Lyne , and whose names are , James Broster , Richard Adcroft , John Court , James Hailwortb , Joseph Carter , William Marsland , Jacob Lockett , John Howard , William Harris , Joseph Bratt , William Shelmerdine . John Royle , James Oaks , Benjamin Roberts , John Briggs , John Clarke , James Price , Job Tankard , John Cookson , Charles
Sutton , Thomas Jeukinson , Richard Joule , John Clare , James Boulton , and John Stockton , were brought up on Saturday ; and Pr . Brown , who appeared on the part of the proseoution , stated , that , as this Court bad not the power to inflict that punishment on the prisoners , if they were found guilty , which the law prorided , they would be tried at tho assizes . To this the prisoners made no objection ; and they were then informed by the Chairman , that they would be tried at the ensuing assizes . They were then removed from the dock .
Inquisitorial Mode of Admimstbbing Injustice . —A superintendent of the police force , named Castle , stationed at Wolverhampton , was brought before two of the Magistrates for that borough , on Tuesday , the 6 th instant , upon the charge of attempting to commit a rape upon the body of his servant , a girl of fifteen yeara of age , named Warner . This very excellent sample of the corps , it seems , by the statement of the Staffordshire Examiner , went down stairs early on Sunday morning , and finding the girl engaged in cleaning the fire-place of a front room , forcibly carried her into a backroom , and took liberties with her person of a nature so disgusting that we cannot publish the particulars . The girl , immediately she was released , hastened home to
her parents , who reside in Stafford-street , and made known the occurrence . On Monday morning , the indignant father applied for a w&rr&nt to apprehend Caetle upon the charge , and asserts that he met with some reluctance in obtaining it , and that upon his requiring it should be placed in a constable ' s bands for execution , he was refused , and told thai the case must be heard in private . This , it appears , was done ; and the superintendent , who rested his defence upon the plea that he had merely bared the complainant ' s person in a sort of joke—that she had used paper for lighting fires which he wanted for aiother purpose , and that he had turned up her clothes to chastise her for it—was fined 40 s . and costs . The complainant , however , positively swore that he had exposed his own person in the liberties he took with her , and that they were of a very different nature to that alleged by Castle . It does not
appear that be received the eastigatioa he deserved , or that he has been dismissed from his situation , as he ought to have been , if the facts were as stated by the aggrieved parent . These private hearings or secret examinations savour too much of the inquisitorial tribunals of the Continent ever to become palatable to the people of this country . If justice is really the thing meant , those who are to dispense it ought not to be ashamed of dispensing it in the face of the world . But if the object be to screen the guilty , and disgust every impartial person , then the proceedings of these Wolverbampton Magistrates were eminently adapted to the attainment of it . If this poor girl had been the child of one of these Solons , it is a question if the offence would have been so snugly disposed of , or the offender let off with impunity ; for what effect will a nominal fine of 40 s . have upon him ?
Strange if True . — At the haunted house at Clewer , near Windsor , the other day , an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross-buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that , mysterious domicile . Nothing was feen , bat very considerable inconvenience was felt , by the venerable gentleman . Outrage at Waterford— Eleven Persons Shot . —On Thursday evening , about nine o ' clock , a crowd of children assembled in the Manor , and were shouting , " Down with the Tories , " " Wyse and Barron for ever , " with several exclamations of a like nature , when a monster , named Morgan , who resides in Henry-street , opened his door , and deliberately fired a pistol , loaded with balls or slugs , on the young and
innocent creatures ; he then reloaded and fired again , and then shut his door , and fired a third shot from his window . He succeeded in his deadly purpose . Will it be credited , he wounded eleven defenceleES children , three of whom are not expected to recover ! Some boys , indignant at this horrid and brutal outrage , assailed the residence of this wretched and blood-stained man , and broke the windows in front of his house , but they were stopped by a few discreet neighbours . The police conducted the prisons in perfect safety to the Major ' s office . The following named wounded persons ( all being under the age of eighteen ) Bat at the side bar : —Johanna Henneberry , Alice Foley , Mary Doyle , Alice Keating , Michael Kelly , and Martin Magrath . Some of the other
persons wounded were sent to the Leper Hospital , and others are in go dangerous a situation that they cannot be removed . Among the latter are a son of Mr . Thomas Torpey , a little girl named Mountain , and a boy named Quiity . About half-past ten the prisoner Morgan was brought forward , when the Mayor read the information of some of the wounded people , charging the prisoner with having fired two pistol shots . The Mayor said he should commit the pr isoner , and would not take bail . Since writing the above , we have heard that the child named Mountain has died of her wounds . Morgan is fully committed . —Abridged from the Waterford Chronicle .
Captcbe op a Whale . —A email whale , of the finner species that frequent the Atlantic , and usually follow the herrings in their migrations , was caught at the stake-nets of Mr Scott , sear the conflux of the Pow Burn , on the afternoon of Thursday . The person in charge of the nets , an old man of the name of William Graham , while standing at the door of his hat , about two o ' clock , then high tide , observed an object of considerable size rolling about the stakes , within a few yards of the shore , and blowing up streams of water as if from a jet d ' eau . Without any one to awist—for he was alone at the time—the courageous fisherman hastened to the spot , aad , with no other implements than a pocket
gully , and a rope which he brought with him , rushed in , middle deep , to the attack . The dorsal fin of the huge animal alone was seen as he approached , the water being more than sufficient to cover its entire body , though somewhat shallower further out . The fish , in no way entangled with the sets , must have been sick , otherwise it might easily have escaped , Grabim , however , ran great rnfc in attempting to capture it . With the utmost caution and activity he succeeded in making an incision in its tail with his knife , and in attaching the rope to it by a running-hitch ; but be had no sooner accomplished this than the ponderous animal { gave symptoms of undiminished

vigour . Throwing itself op in a perpendicular porition , it ooatianei for some tine to kak the water about with its tail in * fearful manner , and made serenl efforts to regain the deep ; bat the w gallant Graham , " holding on by the rope , coutrived to coanteraot it * motions . After a desperate contest , daring which he had ( he ) address to inflict numerous wounds about the neck aad jaws of big formidable opponent , dyeing the water around with its blood , tin conflict was observed by two persons in a boat , who happened to be out shooting at a short distance Rowing to the aid of Graham , the fish , by their united prowess , was at length , and with much difficulty , drawn high and dry on the sands . Th «
BtrnKgie , however , was not yet concluded , for it continued to exert itself with such fury that the rope by which the captors had it moored to a stake driven into the sand was snapped in two like a piece of whipcord . The party then fired » ballet into its head , and after the inflation of sundry blows the protracted conflict was brought to a close by the death of the fish about eight o'clock . As the carcase was allowed to lie oa the beach till Saturday afternoon , a number of people from the neighbourhood had an opportunity of gratifying their curiosity by a sight of it . It measured in length upwards of 14 feet , in girth between seven and eight feet , and might weigh about a ton and a nalfc—Ayr Paper .

w MR . O'CONNOR TO MR . JOHN CAMPBELL . York Castle , 11 th of lBkh month . Mt dear Campbell , —I will not wait for next Saturday to correct my error . I do it now , and yon can send this by Griffin for Saturday ' s Star .

ADDRESS OF THE MEN OF MARTLEBONE AND PANCRAS TO THE FH 1 EMDS OF THE CHABTEB . Brothers , —We have had , a 3 you are aware , a long ight with our enemies the Whigs and Tories , and though unsuccessful , we feel confident that our conduct has met with the approval of all friends . A base and dastardly triek having been played upon the people of the borough of Marylebone , we considered it necessary to vindicate our character by placing Mr . Villiers Sankey in the field . We did do so , and we were beaten , and our strength appears to be small , but wby ? through the treachery of those electors who , after promising for us , voted against us . The election has , of course , involved us to a small extent , and we ask of you , Brothers and Friends , to assist na , so that no burthen will be thrown on the shoulders of our late respected Candidate .
We are , yours in union , Thomas Wall , Thomas Smith , w » , Beck , John Humphreys , James Henwood , Robert Marley , H . B . Mariey , James Feabn , R . A . Goodfellow . Marylebone . —Present Struggles and want op Cokfidekce . —We have , notwithstanding all that the Whig press may state to the contrary , and they have lied enormously of late , no confidence whatever in the present representatives (?) of this borough . I Sir
Benj . Hall and Sir Coos . Napier , two knightly state paupers , vrho glory in Malthuslan Whig principles , and advocate free trade (?)) It is true they have been returned by a large majority ; a majority which has left those aristocratic Conservatives , Cabbell and Hamilton ( who have spent thousands ) and our own more than ever priced Sankey in the larch ; bat still W 6 have OQ confidence in them ; they may do Tery well for , and doubtless serve , those Malthnsians well who have elected them , nay , mere , they may possess the confidence of a few frc quenters of the pothouses , whose lore for fumes and intoxicating beverages so mantle their clear reason , as to prevent them from judging for themselves ; but they never can , and what is more , never will , possess the confidence of the enlightened
portion of either Whig , Tory , or Chartist in Marylebone . [ have noticed this at several of their election meetings , Napier ' s especially , ( whose first meeting had well nigh created a riot . ) 1 have traced it from the salton to the tap-room , aye , even to the hustings , where the ¦• no confidence" expressions were moBt manifest . I have seen Napier , the idol of pot-and-pipe-men , rave like an idiot at the manifsBt confidence in him . I have seen thousands wave him off the hustings ( in Portland Place ) without an hearing ; I have heard their exclamations , their groans , their fiootlngs and hissing ; and I have said to myself , by whom is he esteemed , and by whom considered , ' a fit and proper person" to represent so important a borough as Marylebone ? and common sense replies—merely his pot-house friends and
electors . This want of confidence increases our political struggle ! in this quarter , and makes our cause progress rapidly ; as a first step , it induced our leading friends to bring out our hitherto retiring , but able and unwearied advocate , Stephen Villiers Sankey , who , thosgh below all the other candidates in point of votes , stands confessedly highest in public estimation , as the attention , applause , and Shew of bands , proves . Hurrah fox Villiers Sankey , the only truly elected representative of the industrious classes , and the respected even of the Whigs and Tories . ' Oa the evening of his ever-to-be-remembered nomination , the glorious 30 th of June , we had two splendid Chartist election
meetings , in aid of sending him to the poll on the succeeding day ; one at the Working Men's Hall , Circus-street , New Road , at eight o ' clock , and the other at the Black Horse , Rathbone Place , at ten . That in the Hall was crowded to excess , and when the people ' s candidate appeared , the cheers were truly deafening . A resolution wag moved by Mr . Wall , ( Wall , to whom the Chartists are indebted for the rise of Chartism , in a united form , in St Pancras ) that though there were several candidates contending for the representation of MaryleboBe , Mr . Sankey was the only man that possessed the confidence of the people ; when it was put to the meeting , 698 hands ( ont of the 700—

tho most the ball ean hold ) was held np for it , and on tha eontrmry being takeo , then wen too / Is this not proof that Sankey is elected f Three tremendous cheers and one cheer more wen then given by the meeting in token of tbelr approbatioa , amidst which the noble Republican retired . A . like compliment was also paid to the " « aged lion , " and our beloved exilee across the Water , Frost . Williams , and Jones , God U « ss them I and that glorious creed the Charter , after which the meeting dispersed , inwardly cursing Napier , tc . and their crew , and declaring that Sankey was the only man that possessed their confidence . Now what will be the result of this decision ? A portion of the electors of this great metropolis ( which contains nearly doable the nambeat of inhabitants of Manchester , have placed Hall
at the head of the poll ( Napier being second ) , but the people declare Mr . Sankey to be their representative , duly fleeted , and having their confidence ; and they consider Hall and Napier as two unbargained for servants-without characters , who have usurped places in the people's own House , to the excloaloR of their ^ the people ' s ) own accredited representative . However , we have got our member ( and a Right Honourable member he is ) , and the electors ( or at least a portion of them ) have got theirs ; urs , who is possessed of the confidence of the thousands , is excluded from our own House ! because his constituents are lodgers , ( and it is veil known that lodgers are oftimes more enlightened
than those who claim the house , and , in general , pay the rent and taxes !); theirs , possessed of no real confidence whatever , ore admitted , becaose they are sent in by persons who live in the bottom of a h-o-u-s-e , " free gratis for nothing ; ours is the advocate of the interests of all ; theirs of a class only . Sankey , whom the enthusiasts have rejected ; we will reserve him for ourselves : he is a man of whom we may well be proud , and who , if I mistake not , can be of nearly as much service to the people out of the House as IN It As Tom Attwood once said of himself , he is undoubtedly possessed of great talents , possesea great influence , and enjoys the confidence of the ' good and true" of all classes .

BIRMINGHAM . ANOTHER DEFEAT OP THE "PLAQUE . " The Liberals" of Birmingham have made another attempt to gull the natives , and finding that Douglas , Edmonds , and Co . were completely laid on the shelf , they sent for Mr . Murray , of Manchester , to prop up their falling fortune . Large bills were posted , announcing two lectures by the above-named individual , on the injustice of the bread tax , to take place at the Publicoffice , on Tuesday and Wednesday evening , at eight o'clock . At half-past sevan , on Tuesday evening , the Pablicoffice was crowded to suffocation , and the various rooms adjoining completely filled .
Mr . Murray attempted to commence his lecture , bnt was interrupted with cries of " adjourn , " " we're nearly stifled , " " Stephenson-square , " "Oxford-road , " &c . At length it was moved and seconded that Mr . Benjamin Hill , a atraightftrward Chartist , should take the chair . This was carried unanimously amid loud cheers . Mr . Murray demurred . He said he had not been used to such scenes as that which he then witnessed . ( Shouts of "Perhaps not ; we ' re wide awake here . We'll have none of your Manchester doings here , " &c ) Finding it was no use to object to the apppointment of a chairman , be then stated his wish that the meeting should be adjourned . A show of hands was taken on the subject , when it was decided that the business should proceed . Mr . Hill then addressed the meeting , and declared his determination to procure a fair hearing for all parties who thought proper to address them .
Mr . Murk ay endeavoured to procure a hearing , but such was the crowded state of the place that it was nine o ' clock before the Chairman ( who exerted himself with all bis might ) could procure him a hearing . He at length proceeded with the usual statements of the anti-Corn Law advocates , interrupted with shouts of When we get the Charter we'll repeal all bad laws , " " We have heard all you said a hundred times over . " Mr . Murray declared himself no Whig . He was no bit-by-bit reformer . He was for the people getting their rights , but he would take what he could get After a drawling and ineffective address , the lecturer concluded by informing the meeting that as he would have other opportunities of addressing them ho should conclude and reserve to himself the right of answering any person that thought proper to oppese his views .
The Chairman requested the meeting to keep order , so that an arrangement Bhould be made as to the time that each speaker should be allowed to occupy . He thought that as it was rather late ten minutes would be sufficient He then put it to the meeting . It was unanimously agreed to . Mr . John Collins then addressed them . He said that one ef the statements put forth by the lecturer seemed to him rither strange . He had told them that h » was no bit by bit reformer , and yet he was an advocate for a bit As to the question of the Corn Laws , he agreed with the lecturer that they were unjust ; in fact , the people had found that out twenty-five years since , and bad been letting the country hear of it time after time . But the parties who were now crying oat for their repeal nerer said a word about them until they began to suffer themselves . The working classes bad
been so used to suffering , that their skins were now middling thick , and he , for one , would allow the manufacturers to have a taste of what the working classes had previously suffered . He would not help them unless they consented to help the people to get the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) It was well known that the manufacturers hod the power of applying all the benefits that might arise from a repeal of the Corn Laws to their advantage . He therefore would not trouble himself about the C « rn Law question , until they gave him a guarantee in the shape of a vote , which would insure him a share of the benefits to be derived from a repeal of the Corn Laws . There were also other bad laws that ought to be repealed , and if they wer « to agitate first for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and afterwards for a repeal of the New Poor Law , and s « on , he thought that looked like bit by bit reform ; he therefore could not join it
At the conclusion of Mr . Collins' address , the meeting commenced a general shout of * ' White , White . " Mr . White , who stood in the prisoner ' s dock , stated that he could not gain access to the platform . He was immediately lifted over the iron spikes , and landed comfortably on the magistrate ' s table , a : ni < l loud and repeated cheers . He said that the lecture of Mr . Murray was made up of the usual statements put forward by the advocates of Corn Law repeal , in fact , such was the flimsiness of the argument used by Mr . Murray , that a few minutes would suffice to overthrow them . But why trouble themselves with again going into the question ? Had they not held a meeting in the Town Hall a short time previous , and held a discussion for six hours and a half with some of the
cleverest men in the country , before twelve thousand people , who , after patiently listening to both eirius of the question , had voted the corn , sugar , and timber question to be an insult to the suffering millions ? He maintained that not only was the paltry measure an insult , but the bare fact of calling a meeting of working men , in order to appeal to their reason and judgment , and afterwards refusing them a vote , on the ground of ignorance , was a most outrageous insult to the working classes , and as such ought to be resented . But what after all did the advocates of Corn Law repeal propose to do for the working classes ? They say they want to increase trade , and also to give the people cheap bread . Now his friend Murray would admit that the trade of this country had increased
more than ten-fold within the last fifty years , and he would ask the meeting whether they were ten times better off ? ( ' No , no , worse" ) Well , then , if an increase of trade had made the people worse off , what conld be thought of the anti-Corn Law doctrine ? The anti-Corn Law men told them that they could not compete with foreigners ; but he maintained that the people of this country were not competing with them , but with some of the cleverest English mechanics , who bad left this country on account of the oppression under which they laboured . This fact had been admitted by the lecturer . Even admitting all the statements ot the Corn Lair repealers to be true , he would ask them whether it was just or reasonable that the mechanic in England should be
compelled to work for the whole world , that he might be enabled to procure the mere necessaries of life for himself and family ? Had Providence placed some particular corse on the labourers of England , that they should be compelled to waste their lives in the stink and smoke of factories for thirteen » r fourteen hours a day , in order to keep themselves alive , whilst foreigners were enjoying the sunshine ? < " No , no , " and cheers . ) For hie part , he wanted to see men well fed and clothed , without enduring so much misery ,- and if foreigners wanted manufactured goods , let them work for themselves . He maintained that the boasted commercial system of this country was a mass of fraud and reckless gambling , and that from it proceeded all the miseries and heart-burnings that afflicted society . He was for doing away with the whole system , instead of
increasing its evils , which was the avowed object of the Corn Law repealers . He did not believe that working men were brought into this world to be the mere machines of other men—to create for them immense fortunts , whilst they who produced all were in the lowest depths of misery . He felt that be was a man , and would never be content with less than full and complete justice . ( Loud cheers . ) The lecturer had admitted that the principles of the People ' s Charter were just and true ; the men « f England had found that no mas could controvert those principles . He therefore called on them never to cease their endeavours to obtain their establishment , and they could then repeal tha Corn Laws , and all other laws that interfered with the comforts and happiness of themselves and families . Mr . White retired amid repeated
cheers . Mr . Murrat said a few words in reply . He bad not heard either Mr . White or Mr . Collins object to his views as to the evils of the Corn Laws , and should not interfere in their political opinions , although he WAS for getting what he could . The Chairman gave notice that the meeting was adjourned to the following evening , when it would be held at Duddeston-row . Three hearty cheers were then given for the People ' s Charter , and the same with right good will for Feargns C'Cooaor , after which the meeting separated .

THE M JOB CHANCELLOR'S FAREWELL I 1 The injurious influence which was brought to bear against the Reform party during the late con- - test in this city , by the appointment of Baron Campbell , we never * ceased to lament . We warned the Whigs of what their " job" would bring about ; but they persevered with their eyes open , and now they must only bew the results . Barou Campbell will , however , sit no more . He took his farewell of the profession on Monday . After giving judgment oh some unimportant case % he Btated , as reported : —
" That the motions and short causes being now finished , the court stood adjourned . He took that opportunity of stating that he found the practice in Ireland much improved and shortened , particularly by the abolition of the six clerks , which example he considered the courts in England would do well to follow—that beBtill perceived matters in which improvements could be introduced , and that ha knew it was the opinion of Lord Cottenham thai the pleadings in equity might be greatly shortened , for that at present the great expence incurred in proportion to the sums recovered was in many instances tantamount to a denial of justice ., and the parties frequently submitted { and wisel y / to the original injury rather than seek redress by so expensive a process . This proceeded chit fly from the plaintiff , in his bill , telling bis story in his own favour , which frequently turned out a thrice-told tale . This might be greatly
shortened by the parties merely putting forward their grievancesand their reasons for seeking redreBe , which iu many eases might be done by petition , and an order of reference at once made thereon . That , in the lawreforms which he had already introduced , be had the aid of the English bar freely given him j aad in the contemplated changes he now had in view , he had every reason to expect the like aid from the Irish bar ; but he mainly relied upon the co-operation of that accomplished lawyer . Sir . Michael O'Loghlen , who decided with that happy aptitude for meeting the justice of the case bo desirable iu an equitable judge . That he was quite aware , before he could carry these changes into tSect , h « might be reduced to the situation of a private person ; but that was no reason why he should not COE » - tinue his exertions Cor the public benefit ; aud ha felt that he had , while holding this high situation , filled it well . '' ¦
Now , Baron Campbell has sat altogether in the Irish Court of Chancery about twenty hours . H * retires , and on the death of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in Mb 87 th year , and the other upwards of 76 ' —receives £ 4 , 000 a year pension ,, which , taking the average of human life , he will enjoy for thirty years . Twenty hours , we believe ,, contain some 1 , 200 minutes ; and £ 4 , 000 a year for thirty years will give £ 120 , 000—bo that it requires not to be very deeply read in Cocker to arrive at the conclusion that Biron Campbell will receive , for tha term of his natural life , just One Hundred Pounds for every minute he . sat as our Lord Chancellor tthat is , at the rate of £ 6 , 000 per hour ! And besides this he had & Peerage ! Lucky Baron Campbell ,. say we I—Dublin Monitor . ,

NEWCASTLE AND SUNDERLAND ELECTIONS . » O IBB EDI 1 OK OS THB HOKTHBKJI BIAS . Dear Sib , —It appears in the above borough that J . B . O'Brien , at Newcastle-upon-Tyne . » o 4 MrvBuuWi-at Sunderland , were placed legally in nomination , and that they were * by the respective returning officers , declared duly elected ; aad ( bat neither Mr . W . H . Ord , at Newcastle , or Alderman Thompson , at Sunderland , demanded a poll , and at no resignation was tendered for either O'Briea or Binns , these gentlemen , to all intents and purposes , are the legal M . P . ' s for those places , yet the returns are tilled up with other names , vi * ., Ord and Thompson . Now it being of all things most important to the Chartists as a >
body , that men like O'Brien and Bums should be in Parliament , I beg leave to ask , through the medium of the Star , what are the necessary atepa to effect that purpose . Is it by an election petition ! is a committee of the House of Common * the tribunal that must Bettle the matter 1 if bo , money will be required , and it being a national question , 1 beg to suggest the propriety of th » Executive of ( he National Chatter Association , ordering a levy of one shilling per head on the whole of the members , and which I am sure , poor as the mass of members are , it would bo readily responded to for such a purpose . This , backed by a subscription from Scotland , would , in my opinion , be sufficient to effect th > purpose : only , if done , let it be done instantly . Hurrah for O'Brien and Binns I
Hurrah for the Charter ! Faithfully yours , In the good cause . Edmusd Sxallwood
