Bhoald allow something to build cottages , and the people would produce for themselves , destroy the competivion in the labour market , enable them to grow their own food , keep them from thepoorhouse and find an exceUent market for theraannfatnred goods It showed the wisdom of . Divine Providence , in providing a variety . The people were very fond of milk , butter , and cheese . In six of the continental nations wages were but about 4 b . 9 d ., whilst an English operative most pay 3 s . for a house . In the discussion the other evening > at the Mechanic ' * Institution , one of the gentlemen said , that if they would repeal the CornXaws , they wooJd enforce the cultivation of the land of this country . If such would be the result , what would become of the argument about the exchange of goods for corn ! Mr . Leaeh continued to answer point after point to the
edification of his audience , who listened with marked attention , only interrupted by appplaoae , and glanced at the progress of the cause . He wa » highly pleased to hear their chairman read that day an article from the Nonconformist , enoouraging and defending the Chartists—a journal which was read by the middle class . The press bad been invariably against them . The Manchester Guardian bad , « n all occarionB , misrepresented them , and was of no manner of service . to the working man . Bot there was one thing which gave consolation , they had the Northern Star , which amid all the storms and adverse elements , had been the people ' s friend . It had never bent eeither in the battle nor the breeze . The speaker drew a picture of the 5 , 000 , 000 of half-fed
and half-starred people of Ireland , and their benevolent cotton masters were going thousands of miles , to see if they could find people who wanted a shift or % ehirt . The speaker glanced at the report of the Enumeration Society , at Leeds , and called upon the people to unite to break down the tottering corrupt and unjust system . Mr . Littler rose and asked whether any one objected to what the speakers advanced , if bo , he would ensure them a hearing . A gentleman , at the end of the room , who slid be was of the same opinion as themselves , relative to the Charter and Corn Laws , asked two questions , which Leach answered to his entire satisfaction and the meeting generally . Ne other questions being put , Mr . Bell rose and moved , " That the best
method of repealing the Corn Laws and benefiting the country was to make the People ' s Charter a legislative enactment . " Mr . Rankin seconded the motion . The Chairman enquired if any one had an amendment , and none appearing , the resolution was unanimously carried amidst load cheers . Mr . Griffin then moved , " That though this meeting condemns in the highest degree the conduct of those deluded parties who have allowed themselves to be made the tools of ^ iesjgning men , by going to meetings with sticks instead of arguments . Yet we beg to be understand that we make no allusion to the intelligent members of the Repeal of the Union Association , hearing that they themselves have denounced it , and believing as we do , that they are as sorry as we are
to witness such disgraceful proceedings ; and we hereby offer the right hand of fellowship to every Irishman , whether he agrees with as in opinion or not , so long as he does not infringe upon our liberties . " Mr . Murray seconded it , and it was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was tendered the Chairman and the lecturer , and three cheers were given for the Charter , Mr . O'Connor , the Northern Star , and the Welsh Patriots , and the meeting broke up .

" ** That this meeting are of opinion that the plan proposed would not interfere with any arrangements entered upon , nor of having the services of paid lecturers , if thonght necessary . " After a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting separated .
SZBfiXXKGHAM . —The cause is progressing rapidly in this town , each week brings a large accession of members to the National Charter Association . Sectional meetings are being established in various parts of the wwd , and all differences are subsiding into a cordial and brotherly friendship . The principles of the Charter is winning its way throngh all ranks , and there is little doubt that there will be as stroDg a feeling evinced by the men of Birmingham in favour of the Charter as was displayed by them previous to the passing of the Reform Bill . It is now tacitly admitted by all classes of Reformers that the Whigs are extinct as a party and that nothing short of the Charter can remedy the evils that

The poor debtors' apartment is a miserable cellar , badly ventilated , in which there are nojv twenty-three poor fellows confined for various periods . The stench which proceeds from this their day apartment is really suffocating . But it appears that their dormitory is still worse . Their bed consists of a parcel of straw , shook down" in the same manner as littering horses , the debtors lying heads and points by as many as twelve , which , according to the statements of the inmates , causes them to be overrun
with vermin . No provision whatever is made for their Bupport , and application has often to be made to the parish to keep them from dying of hunger . At the same time that the working men are compelled to submit to all this filth and misery for a few shillings of debt , perhaps contracted through sickness or want of employment , the " respectables " live in clover , for the few weeks they are in , and although they might owe £ 2 , 000 , they get whitewashed , and perhaps start trade stronger thau ever . What excellent laws ! and how justly administered !

TRICKS OF THE " PLAGUE . " Some weeks ago , one Mr . Liddeli , a " plague " man , was hired to enlighten the darkness of the Newcastle lads on the Corn - Law question . After sundry flourishes of the GateBnead Penny Whistle , Mr . Wm . Parker , a working man , took the trouble of extinguishing this rushlight of plaguery , by silenoing him and all bis friends at the close of his own lecture . A correspondence between them followed , in which the lecturer , referring to the arguments of his Chartist friend , says : —
" Those irb * wish to discuss eqcq matters with me would do well to engage a room , and give me an opportunity of meeting with them ; because , when I apply to trustees for the noe of a chapel , I apply to them for ike loan of it to a particular purpose—to the delivery of a lecture ; and if I took upon myself the power ot appropriating it to a diacuasion without their consent , it would be a breach of agreement with them . I trust yon aee the force of this statement . " To this Mr . Parker said , in his reply : — " You know Sir , I am poor , rerj poor , and cannot
eommand ehapela , fcc , bnt tbe working men have a reading-room near Byke Bar , this I am offered . I have therefore to requeat you will name any evening which will be most convenient to you On these terms I invite you : —You snail be free ef expence , —you and your friendB shall be protected with every respect . If you are the only peaker , I alone will answer you . If one or more of your friends join in the discussion , then an equal number of mine to be allowed to reply ; or , if you like it better , I will take you all . I , on my part , engaging to print and post round the Onseburn and Newcastle , 200 bills announcing the discussion . "
This was jxst the sort of convenience that Mr . Lecturer Liddeli did not want ; and Mr .. Parker heard no more of him ,

TO THS EDITOR OF THE NOETHEBN STAB . Sir , —In the St * r of Saturday , In a letter signed " Mark Crabtree , " I am very unceremoniously dragged in as a principal . I will briefly state , some of the facts connected with the letter published in the Star ot Oct 2 , and signed " € K J . Barney . " Mark Crabtree , and , I believe , a relative of his , came into the room and asked me , if Lord Ashler ahotUd come to Dewsbury , and a meeting be got up in favour of a Ten Hoars' Bill , would I support a resolution ? I said I would ; when he asked me if I would pledge myself not to introduce any other subject atthe meeting , and engage to prevent any other party from bringing
other measures forward . My answer was , I should be happy to assist In bettering the condition ot the factory children ; yet if I saw that the measures brought forward by Lord Ashley would not ultimately benefit the factory children , I should feel myself at liberty to advise such a line of proceeding as would really be for the benefit of the poor man ' s child . Oh , says Mr . C . you would introduce your Universal Suffrage system ; and If that was the ease , Lord Ashley should not come to be insulted by the mean and shabby humbugs af Dewsbury . He said he knew Mr . O'Connor would join Lord Ashley in an agitation for a Ten Hoars' BilL Mr . Thomas Wass said lie knew Mr . O'Connor would not under the present system of legislation .
Mr . Crabtree said he had been told by Mr . Hobson and Mr . Hick , of Leeds , Martin , of Bradford , and G . J . Harney , they had nothing but trouble with the leading CbatUsta of Dewsbury . Says he , yon are paying poor Harney a paltry 30 s . per week , while I have paid him 45 s . per week during the late West Biding election . This in his letter he flatly denies ; bat forgets to have It corroborated by his valiant friend who several times threatened to draw Mr . Waas from his chair , and turn him out of the room if be interrupted Mr . C . any
more . Now , dear Sir , I will not accept bis compliment of villain , which he throws at me and Co ., except it be villanj to advocate for equal rights and equal justice to all ; if it be villany to endeavour to rai « e my fellowman from a state of abject slavery to political freedom , 1 accept tbe term villain freely . We know that 30 s . per week is too little for a lecturer to travel with ; but Tory misrule and extravagance , together with class legislation , has brought the working man to such a state of wretchedness that he cannot support , as he could wish , those who plead his cause ; and theugh Mr . Harney may have found it difficult to make his salary suffice , I have that confidence in him that I know he would rather plead the people ' s cause on those terms , than prostitute his talents to the upholding ota system wbieh has been a means of reducing the working millions to their present deplorable situation .
Mr . Crabtree wishes Mr . Harney to come to Dewsbury , and give as a lecture on political honesty . I think Mr . Crabtree might as well attend &t the same time , as h « would then be able to state how many points there are contained in the People ' s Charter . Hoping you will please to insert the above in your next Star , I remain , Yours , respectfully , John Haigh . Oasett Street Side . Oct 25 th , 1841 .

TYRANNY 1 TYRANNY ! TO THB EDITOR OF TBE NORTHERN STAR . Mr . Editor , —Since my arrival here , I have been under the necessity of hearing the most abominable tales of oppression and injustice perpetrated on the working classes . Talk of " one law for the rich , and another for the poor , " it would be an abuse of words to say so in several instances which have come to my knowledge of late , a sketch of which will , I think , do more to convince any working man of the abject state of slavery to which his class has been reduced than a dozen speeches , and will show to the world the abominations which are practised by parsons and magistrates in the southern counties of " happy England . " I will now relate a caBe or two which cannot be outdone in all the annals of rascality ; and as there is likely to be an investigation into the matter hereafter , I shall suppress the names , although I have the whole particulars before me in M black and white . "
The first case is that of a hawker of cotton goods , who was obliged to send his wife for a short time to live with her friends about seven years ago—he not being able to provide for her and his children . Her friends refused to be burtbened with her , she was consequently forced to apply to her parish at Rugby , where she was admitted to the workhouse . Whilst there she happened to take the fancy of a Reverend teacher in the aristocratic Rngby School , who marked her out as a victim to his amorous desires . The hawker ' s circumstances having taken a favourable turn , he sent money and clothing to his wife and family , with instructions to go to him : not hearing from his wife , he became very uneasy , and sent a friend to bring her and the children to him ;
but they would not be allowed to go to him . He then wrote to the Guardians , requesting them to discharge his wife and family , aa he was capable of supporting them ; she was discharged . But instead of going to her husband she was inveigled to the house of the abovementioned parson as a servant . The man threatened to enter an aotion against him if he did not deliver him his wife , when the holy man dismissed her from his service , and took a house for her close by hisown . On hearing this , the poor man proceeded to Rugby , and was not a minute in his wife ' s house , when the parson made his appearance , and told him that the parish officers would not allow her to live with him until he paid £ 12 13- > . lid . The man not being able to pay the money , left the
town , as the parson told him he would be imprisoned , if he did not go . He then remained away for upwards of a year ; and , on his return to Rugby , found that his wife had a child by his reverence . The poor man felt sorely grieved at this circumstance , and signified his intention of instituting legal proceedings against the destroyer of his happiness . The parson offered him any money if he would again live with his wife , and told him that he could not find money to go to law with him . The man refused his money and left the house , declaring that he could not again think of living with his wife , but that he was determined to havejustice for the villany of the parson . The parson afterwards sent two of his servants for the woman and went with her to a
magistrate to make her swear the child was her husband's . The magistrate refused to hear her . The man then tried to take his children away with him , when a quarrel arose between him and his wife , for which he was sent to Warwick House of Correction for twomonths . After his liberation he again tried to get his children , when another charge wm trumped up against him and he was sent to Warwick Gaol , for twelve months . After his release , he applied to several magistrates , to the Lord Lieutenant of the county , and wrote to the Home-office , opt received no satifactory answer . He was told . to enter an aotion against the Parson , bnt has not tbe means , and the reason why I happened to became acquainted with these facts was , that the poor man ^ applied to me to know whether Mr . O'Connor wpald-take np
the matter . The Parson , who has ttus , been the cause of all this poor man ' s suffenngs . 18 still a Head Teacher in the aristocratic School o 7 Rng&Jt * nd the poor man a houseless wanderer . It will thus be seen that not only is there " one law tor the rich and another for the poor , " but that the law is used by the rich as a means to protect them in their infernal praeticeaTand give them power to blast for ever the hopes andprospeots of any pejson who shall attempt to hinder them from the gratification of their beastly appetites . I have cot a whole budget of facts of this description , which I shall make use of from time to time ; but considering the crowded state of your columns , on account of the glorious Soottish demonstrations , I shall reserve lhe rest for some future numberand in the meantime .

Ten Hours Bill . —A deputation from the Short time Committee of the West-riding of Yorkshire , had an interview with Six James Graham , on Thursday morning , at the Home-office . The deputation consisted of W . Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., Messrs . Fleming , Hobson , Leach , Crabtree , and Brooke . Unemployed Printers . —There are at present ia London 1 , 200 unemployed compositors and pressman ; many of them , with large families , are in a state of obsolute starvation . Such is the depressed condition of their trade , that several of its honest and industrious members have been compelled , in despair , to enter the onion workhouses . The majority , however , of the unemployed suffer all the pangs of hanger rather than seek relief from those sources . Their present condition is caused by the depressed state of the bookselling and puBlishing trade , by the little business done by Parliament , and by tbe substitution of mechanical power for human labour .
