      LEEDS AND ITS VICINITV ; IT i 3 witK feelings of the deepest regret that the LETTER-PR ESS-PR INTERS , of LEEDS in expressicg their own sympathy for thoir distressed brethren , are called to the painful duty of respectfully soliciting the attention of the Nobility , Gentry , Clergy , Professional Gentlemen j and the Inhabitants of Leeds and its Neighbourhood , to the destitute condition of about ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED of their fellow-Printers in the Metropolis , who with their 'dependant Families are labouring under severe and protracted privation and suffering , from want of Employment . ? When the Printara of Leeds recur to the many advantages to mankind . '' -consequent upon the past labours of their profession , and whein they consider how prominent and distinguished 'an auxiliary tho Art of Printing has bebu in promoting the instruction , tho edification , tho prosperity , tho happiness , and the general advancement—social , moral , and political—oi this country and of the world , they are . led humbly to trust , in making a goncva . 1 appeal to public sympathy on behalf of their unfortunate brethren , with a view to the alloviation of their distr , > 3 , that the liberal responses of the benevolent will confirm and e&tabiish the propriety of the measure now adopted . '¦/ ,. It i 3 with great pleasure and gratitude , that the printers of Leeds Can record , amoi-gjt other place ? , the very benovol > : nt response of tho City of York , to the object of the present appeal , and especially the hancsoine donations of the Archbishop of York , the llieht Hon . the Lord Mayor of York , aud the Ven . Archdeacon Todd . ¦ ' ¦ The Printers of Leeds cannot refrain from a , i ? ain urging this appeal upon the benevolent of allclasfes , by stating that the * ca 3 e is one of deep and longcoHtinued distress , and calls loudly tor immediate relief , as will be observed from the following Address of the London Printers : — " to thb nobilitv , gkniky , and thk public in GENKHAL . " ., ' " - Central Committee Rooms , Bell Yard , Temple Bar . " Ladies and Gentlemen , —^—The Committee appointed by . the , unemployed Printers of London ti isssue a public Address , in appealing to their beuevolence , do so with full coaficienoe of their sympathy and support . It is calculated that , at the present time , there are upwards of twelve hundred unemployed Compositors and Pressmen ^ and many of tuem , with large families , are in an absolutely starving state . Numbers of oar worthy hreihreu have already applied for parochial aid ; and as the public mns 5 well knew , from the present state of ow Poor Laws , any apsistance from that quarter , but that of entering theUnionWorkou 6 e , is denied ; and members of our trade have been compelled to submit to that alternative . The committee beg to inform them that the Bedentary occupation , and roauy hours which they must nccesfarily apply to their business , preclude them from anychance of obtaiuing a livelihood in any way unconnected with the printing business . And no cla ^ s-of men' are sooner debilitated , with the loss of Bisht , and paralysed limbs , than ycur humble supplicants , which the noble and generous patrons of the Printer ' s Pension Society are fully aware of , from the reports of ( hat society . Tho principal cause of their great distress being that of the numerous failures amoBgst booksellers , and others connected with tho printing business ; also , the little business done by Parliament , in consoqnence of the unsettled Btate of public alfairs . The public nvasjt be aware that these are the chief sources from which their labours are called into action . The generous nobilky and public , on a former occasion , in the years 1825—6 , having so nobly responded to the callof btnevolence in their behalf , the CoT&vmtteena \ o every reason to beliava that in the present distressed state of the printing business , a like sympathy will crown their efforts . " J . T . Gregg , Chairman , " W . Darga ^ Hoa . Sec . ' * In conclusion it may be proper id announce , that the Printers of Leeds ha , ve cp , ntribiited the Sum of TEN POUNDS , and appointed Two of their number to collect and receive Subscr iptions , who will make an early call upoa the vasrvous Gentlemon of the Town .

      ; Still on sale at all the Publishers , Price Threepence only , - THE POOK MAN'S COMPANION i A POLITICAt ALMANACK FOR 1842 , SETTING forth , at one viow , the enormous amount of Taxes wrung from the industry of a starving people , and their extravagant and shameful expenditure . Also containing tables of . useful reference on almost all subjecN oonnected with general policy . OPiifrONS OF THE PEESS . !' " Essentially a * Poor Man ' s Compan ion * and fully deserving the highest eulogium as fulfilling the promise of its title . In addition to the usual subjectmatter of an Almanack , we are presented with tables of the utmost importance , as affording the very 'information the working olasses are much in need ofthe gross misappropriatiou of their property in pensions and high official salaries given for bad government . A chapter is also annexed on 'the condition of the people / calling for universal perusal . We would particularly commend the work to the attention of Chartist Lecturers , —they will find it" an in-Valuable text book . "' —English Chartist Circular ; : " This little compendium of useful information is entided to our : warm commendation . The statistical details bear ample evidence of having been prepared with much care , and tho tables-relative to taxation , and the appropriation of the monies thereby derived , are not more curious than useful , while the commentary appended to each division of the subject cannot fail byitstone to make the * Poor Man ' s Companioa ' highly popular . "— Weekly Dispatch . * ¦ ' We are accustomed to ' speak of unequal laws and ef the enormous burdens thai are laid upon the poor for the benefit of the rich , and we are accustoraed to speak thus so often that tho very iteration of the remark causes it to loose its force , and to pass harmlesa . Hence the neceBsity for details ; and details , come from whatever quarter they may , if well substantiated , always come to us as ¦ acceptable visitors , and are welcomed as an effeotive force which we can wield against tho strongholds of corruption . The details in this Almanack are clearly set forth , and really they tell a' dark and fearful tale . Unhappily we have too good grounds to believe them correct . Mr . Hobson refers to datts and state documents-r-fdr ifc is a , mercy that we have a precedent which forces the public plunderers to trumpet forth their robberies . In a word we may state that the lialionat taxation , —who pay it- ^ -who devour it—are set forih in a lucid manner in this * Poor Man ' s Companion / " —Leeds Times . " This is verily a . Poor Man ' s vadenxecum : the cheapest and best book of general " . reference fpr almost all subjects in which the people ' s interests are iiuraediately involved that we have ever eeen . In addition to all * thb . ¦ usual , infornmtioii of an Almanack , it contains a mass of statistical information crammed into tile smallest possible space upon most important subjects .: We feel persuaded that thereis hot a . working man in tho kinydoni , w ho will be without his ¦ * Companiqu , ' if ho can , possibly procureoue . "—Northern Star . " This is a Political Almanack for 1842 , shewing the amount and applicatiou of the taxes raised From the industry of tne working classes , ' and containhiK much informatiou for them , and spino also that may be useful to those borii only to consume their productions . Among other- statistical ' . fable ' s , it gives a summavy of the r ^ iourcbs of Great Britain , a comparison befsveon tho productive and unproductive classes , andlong an ^ instructiys answers to the question , 'how . are the taxes " applied ' . ? ' 'Tho Cost oi the Church , ' and tho ' Black List , ' may also be perused with advantage . "—Sun .. " This is a threepenny Almanack , and worth twice the monoy at which it can be purchased .

O'BrIES AGAIN . — We received by this day ' s f ThursdayJ post a letter signed John Chapman , Joseph Bray , Joseph Rnshwortb , William Sellers , Robert PeelAndrew Emmerson , and James Gledhifl .

      , These persons , of course , knew when they sent their letter that ( coming at that periodpf the week ) it would not appear this week . It is such a letter as ( hey have no right to expect any newspaper to insert at all ; but we shall not deviate from our usual course of allowing persons to abuse us in our own columns . The conductor of the Northern Star , whom these persons please to speak of as establishing a dictator little short of that assumed by the Conqueror of old , " has made a constant practice of endeavouring to show , "fair flaif to every one but himself . His anxiety on ihit head has caused him to open the columns of the paper to so many communications abusing its conductor and misrepresenting his

      statements , under colour of some petty complaint or other , that many such persons as Messrs Chapman and Co . seem to have taken up the notion that every body has aright to abuse the Editor of the Northern Star as much as they please ; and that it is e very serious crime in him to give any explanation of whatever misrepresentations may be made , or any contradiction to whatever falsehoods maybe asserted respecting him . We shall give this letter of Messrs . Chapman and Co . in our next week ' s Notices to Correspondents ; * ce shall answer its falsehoods by simply stating

      facts ; we shall leave its abuse to ansieer itself and shall have no more of these ** capers" from either Mr . Clayton or his friends . Hb . Pksst . —We are reluctantly compelled to withhold his excellent letter to Homer Stansfeld , Esq . for -this week . "ffniiAH Cook . —We think his communication belter not inserted . Let the " lads" gs on—let them not be daunted . Truth must prevail .

Robert Lundy , of Mt / tongate , Hull , to give threepence out of every shilling of his receipts for Finder ' s blacking to the Executive . Since then we have received the following letter from Mr . Lundy , to which we have great pleasure in drawing attention : —

      « Se& , — 'WTaen I -wrote you last week , I -was not swaie thai Mr . Pin&er allo'sred mare profit on his blacking thaa id . to the nhming ; bat I find the profit to be 100 per cent . I shall then give 3 d . per shilling , aa I stated , to the Executive , and 10 - pet cent , additional , out of my receipts , to the funds of the Soil Chartists . I hope other agents ¦ will follow the example . " BOBEHT LVSDT . " We hope so too . Let the thing be set about at once and in good earnest . Surely there is in every pls . ce some good Chariist as patriotic as Mr . Lundy . ' . About it at once ! Let every locality hare its agent—let not an ounce of any other Hacking come into a Chartist ' s house—let the sale of it be pushed among other parties as much as possible and the " rent roll" of the Executive vril ! soon be worth something .

      Charles Datipsox is dissatisfied wiih the reason we assign for ihe non-publication of his letter ¦; that reason being no room . " He threatens ts cease reading the paper unlas we assign a more satisfactdry reason . We should certainly deprecate so heavy a calamity , as the loss of Mr . Davidson's jizironoge as seriously as we shall deplore it , if compelled to benr up against it : but what can tee do in so perplexing a dilemma ? if we assign any oilier reason , * tis ten to one but it might be Jess . " satisfactory" instead of being more so . Upon i \ e vrhole , therefore , we see nothing for it , but to leave the matter as it is ; trusting that second thoughts may awaken our friend ' s comrnisseration

      paper alluded , to i—^ The great efforts which Mr . Oastler has made , for his country have , however , cost him much . No considerations of private interest have ever restrained him in his endeavours to fulfil that whioh he conceived to be his public duty . This great , benevolent , and patriotic man is now the inmate of a debtor's prison ; debarred the full exercise of those admirable faculties of mind and body whioh are so well adapted to procure an ample provision for himself and family . A most earnest appeal is made to those who are attached to the cause of British constitutional government to contribute towards raising a fund for the purpose of placing Mr . Oastler , his wife , and their adopted

      daughter , in comfortable circumstances . The money which is raised will be under the control of the trustees whose names are before mentioned , who will decide on the best method of fulfilling the object intended . " Among the names of the trdstees we observe those of Lord Feversham , Sir George Sinclair , Bart ., &c . There is . little doubt , taking into consideration the exertions of Mr . Oastler to benefit the coudition of the factory children , the disinterestedueBS of those exertions , and the many affluent and zealous admirers he has among sit classes of politicians , that the , subscription will realise the expectations of the most sanguine of his frieods . —Morning Herald . -

      BIRMINGHAM-Chabtist Mecti > o 3 .-A meeting was held at the Chartist Association Room , Freeman-street , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Welflc toed in th « chair . The Chairman , who i 3 an active member of the , lately formed discussion class , dis * played in his person ( he usefulness pi such eocieties . He opened the business id a neat and e&ctjve address , and concluded by introducingMr . Georgo White , to address the meeting . Wr . White enteredr at grrat length into the attempts which were made > to split up the Chartist body , under variolas pretences . He maintained that the Cora Law repealers , the Rational Chartist , and other parties which were endeavouring to force themselves into '

      tixistence , were no other than their old and bitter enemies , the Whigs under a mask . He next adverted to 5 paper published by Hetherington of London * turportiug to be ihe organ of A Natioual Associatipo * the ttrst number of which contained au attack oa Air . O'Connor , for the statement which ho made whilst in Scotland relative to the "New Move" plotters . That document called oa Mr . O'Couuor lor proofs of that which was : as clear as the sun at noonday . He could give proof sufficient of the paltry iutriguea of Hetherington , Brewster , Lovett , and Co ., lor there wad : hardly % to wain England or Scotland , where there was not a few empty-headed ; , paltry ; shop-boys , who Were so puffed up with their own importance , and bo full

      of conceit , as to suppose that everything which was done by the working classes ought first to receive their sanotion . When : ihpse par ties were exposed , they deelared they were Wronged , and ( called < br proofs , but they were like moles— they worked underground Their secret workings coula hardly be traced , were it not for the heaps of dirt which they continually turned up , as an evidence of their industry . He denounced the party as a cheat on the publio , for wheuhe was in London there was ! not above thirty of tae new move" men ( or rather shop lads ) to maintain tho cause i > f humbug . He thooght the real originators of these doings wore Hume , War * burton , Molesworth , Place and Co ., who supplied the money to the clique in London and elsewhere

      for the purpose of doing all in their power to the present organisation , which waa couatructed in auoh a , manner as to preclude the possibility of any person holding office of any descripvion against the will of the Chartist body . Some of them had expressed a wish to see local organisatious , instead of the present national one , under a supposition that » v would be more bj | o , but a momeni * j consideration would satisfy any reasonable being on that score , for under a local organization . -. they could not possibly empioy lecturers as they did ; besides a few men in any town might , under the local system , dp serious injury to the cause . He went : on at great length to » hew the superiority of the National

      Charter Association over auy other plan which had been previously in existence , and informed the meeting that they were about receiving some help from aa uat xpecied quarter , which would enable the National Charter Association In Birmingham , to raise its head higher than ever , tte next adverted to a speech made by Mr ., Joseph Siurge , at a late meeting in Birmiunham , in which he rejoiced at the decline of the physical-force , party , and * fter exposing the sophistry of Sturge and other sham-Chartists , he concluded amidst general applause . The chairman and others , afterwards addressed the meeting , after which notice was given tuat a new council would be nominated on the following evening ; after which tie meeting separated . . ;' ¦ -. - '

The , Chairman , after a short address , introduced Mr . George White to address the meeting . Mr . . White addressed the assembly on . the poverty which , pervaded the country , and exposed the rouenneS 3 of our glorious Constitution . He showed up ihe fallacy of the proposed emigration plan , and pointed out the People ' s Charter as the only p ^ necea for the manifold evils under" which the nation -laboured . He traced tha

      conduct of Whigs and Tories , and showed that a middle-class Government was oue of the most intolerable curses that could afflict a nation ; as a proof of which , he compared the extreme wrotcheduess ^ of the labouring population of Great Britain with the inhabitants / of those countries who Were living , under what was termed a despotic Government , and btated his conviction that the people of Great Britain would , -erelong , have . realliberty , or an open aud undisguised cieapotism . He appealed to their love of 'justice and humanity , and toped that all who were 'determined to obtain freedom would enrol their names in the National Charter Association . The Secretary ( Mr . CresweJl ) ihea read the minutes of the last Council meoting : after

      which , about sixtr-oen , persoas were nominated as members of the next Council , and a ballot appointed to take place on Monday . evening next , at which time every member is requested to attend .
