Mt Deau FfiiEiiDS , —I now s :: down to coniniumeate to you the proceedings of the past week : a ireek which , wiJiost affectation . I may say , astonished evea me . la last week ' s Star , the report of our meetiug 3 was brought down to Thursday night , at Bradford . HOLBECK ( a fakt of tEBBS . ) OnPriday nlgai I addressed ike people of Holbeck "We were to have net in alarge seaool-room belonging t # 3 ir . Marshallj ^ whioh he allowed us to use , and for whiea wa did not fail most heartily to thank him , xsxzmucb as many of his class , aje , and of his inferiorsjwould have seen us far enough , rather than so far accommodate U 3 . Mr . Tt&zst wag unanimously appointed to the chair . But I should mention , that our numbers were so great that we were obiiged * to adjourn to an immense yard at the back of the school house , which was not only crammed in every corner ,, but the roofs of taa surrouading honses were also filled . There were maay of the Holbeek Republicans , as they call themselves , present ; that is a set of shopkeepers , who pxefer calling themselves Republicans a 3 x test of their principles , to excuse them from taking any active part in the Char list agitation . I explained the question of the Luld , of taxation , and of capital and labour , apparently satisfactorily ; inasmuch as xny audience seemed to understand every word I spoke , and isesteem it as the truth . Now , this Holbeefc is a district of Leeds ; and it has become fashionable with agitators who estimate the people ' s patriotism by the people ' s capability to supply them with pence , to speak slightingly of the men of laeda and its vicinity j while I assert , and with truth , that in no town in England does a better spirit exist than in Leeds , when ihe poor understand that the preacher preaches fob their good , asd sot fos Taxis , hoket . The pooriave been cruelly ransacked of their little pence—which they ne ^ er object to pay , when the collection goei into the Chartist exchequer , instead of into the lecturer ' s pocket . Of this fact , that indefatigable and able lecturer , Cooper , has had ample proof j he goes to work , and never fails to enroll more mrmbers than any other individual , because he takes principle as a test of Chartism , leaving payment to wait upon convenience , well knowing that poverty withholds many from joining , who would be anxious to do so . I nttwr met a better set of fdiovfB than the Holbeck Chartists . I took a rote for the six points , name and all , and every ha&d was held up . A \ oie of thinks to Mr . Marshall , for tbe ase of Ms premises , and a rote to the chairman concluded the business ; after which Wi proceeded : "with the process of enlistment , and enrolled an immense number of patriotic recruits . Before I leave Holbeck and Lseds , just one word : Let the leaders abandon their petty squabbles , and' I will answer for the the soundness of the people . ;
TODMORDEN . - On Saturday eTening I addressed the men of Todmorden at considerable length , and never vrao so broiled in my life . It is bo * necessary to say a word of the patriotism and enthusiasm of tie Chartists ofTodmorden , and district . I met thai good ' : and excellent gentleman , Mr . Holland , of Burnley , j at Toamorden . A Chartist shopkeeper was unani- mou = lj called to the chair , and ma&j of the masters , and middle class : s attended . " ; After the meeting , I repaired to my Hotel , "where ' the sons of labour quickly flocked . After we Lad : been assembled for some time , two most obtrusive , ; and ignorant , and impertinent slave-drivers In- i traded themselves ; the one a large master , and the ' other a litile one in every sense of the "WOld . One ' was catsed S ' . ansneld , as well as I recolleci , and ihs ofher called Chambers . These men cama vrith the ' . evident intention of casting ridicule upon the Char- ; tisis , aad with a hope of meeting some of their own slaves , who "wc ^ ld be overawed by thtrir presence . \ They are bc-ia associated S ~ . argues ; that ia , of the new asd improved Corn Law Repeal Confederacy . This faction , though few , not numbering more than seven in Todmordea , give the people nmch annoy- asee . Th-- two persons whom I have named kept me up till three o ' clock in thd morning , asd I was I not Eorry ; for it ; for , if I mistake not , I administered j to their follv a castration wbieh neither the <; ne nor i ihe olher will foigei in a hurry . I rejoice that they Were act Chartists , as I should be puzzled to defend my party against the charge of ignorance , if such j .. empty fellows belonged to out ranks . Tie working \ men were very" angry with them and justly so ; as the object of both appeared to be to cast all the odinzn they . conld upon the Chartists and working men generally , and upon Mr . Fielden particularly . Chambers , that is the young fool , appears to have seme deep lurking antipathy io Mr . Fielden ; but the people took good csra to let him know , thai but j for Mr . Fielden-, aH : he misters in the district wonld I have lowered their wages . This was the sore point ; 1 and the people saw it . One of Mr . "Fielden ' s overseers ( Edmund was his Christian name ; I forget bis \ smame ) rebuied Chambers in a most masterly S ea ^ i ^ r , ibr supporting his ignoraEce with false- j hood and impertinence . I trust that I shall not afain be intruded upon by such persons . vntnuvnTJ » \ r itjajxiT qfin i
^ . . . U On Monday morning , I arrived at Nottingham at ten o ' clock , and instantly proceeded to theMarket-Kjuare , where an immense multstade bad assembled to form a procession for Calverton . Here in 2 * ottineham Whig and Tory have united against the people . The old Befora Whigs have ] actually sold themselves , neck and ercp , to ' "R aker , and have brand themselves in a penalty of j £ 4 , 000 to ie his slaves . They have , indeed ! the j vinuc-ns Whigs , who were so indignant vrith the j Citsnists las * year for joining ihe Tcries for a spe- j Clfic purpose . This has given a new eoiaples ' . on to ' tie Election about to come eft " . The influence of the : big cues h * s been communicated to the Email fry , and c ^ any who were pledged to aid us are now filing cf by two ' 3 and three ' 3 . But be assured as they I have Eoaifestcd such a preference for Toryism that i they shall now iaTe a belly-full . Oa the next 1 geiieral election they shall have two thumping S Tories , and in November they shall have a Tory 1 Corporation and a Tory Mayor . Tbi 3 is all the ; Ea ; ui action the people can take , and this th ? y" are ; res :.: red upon taking . Since tha two parties , Whig I and Tory , were first bom in this country down ; to the present moment , there never was so base , j eo cowardly , so rascally a transaction as the coin- ! promise entered in u by ths Whi-3 of Notaugham ;! and dearly , most dearly shall ine whole fraternity pay for tisir villaEy . I addressed the people as j some length rmiei a scorching son , and then started } in procession for Calvertou , ( seven miles ) ; and in j truth tha whole population seemed to be " a stir f' ~\ th ? roads were literally c-svered , and at every cross j t \ e Iocaliiies contributed their streams . When we j reached Arnold , a Tillage three miles" from Sotting- ! ham , 7 T 3 were jobed by a vast procession from that j I placard msrebed on to Calverton , in the sunshine , i ! through , the rarsl villages , a . & out of sight of the ' long 57-ikc chimneys . Never did Calverton p-e ^ en * \ Kcba speciscle before . It is an agrlcultaral vil- ) lags asd all the farrcers turned out to hear the . c = r ; o == doctrines of Cba . riism . I SDiected for my ; aec ? es 5 ihef 3 T 0 Tiiit 9 dostrine of the League , that ! Eannfactcrf-s scd aericuhure should go hasd is ; eaxd ; sre I explained how their practice "was at : ysr-3 ijce with their theory , as they were endeavour- ' i E ? k . establii-c the triumph of inanimate rnachinery upon the ruin ? of agriculturalist ; and manufacturer : ; , which , should be alike profitable to the operative * fcd ice agriculturist . Tne farmers , for the £ rst t- aie , opened their ears to receive the princi ples cf Chardsm i and the result" of my S Erst address , was to bring tie whole population of the surrounding district to hear my address in the evening , which wa 3 of two hours duration , and all B thegnbjeet of the Laxd and ilannfactures going band--in hand . I also exposed the monstrous ^ iacies and abEnrdities of the Leagae . Here also I took a ehovf of hands for the Charter , name-and *^» and every hand w& 3 held ap . The farmers appeared perfectly to u demand my Positions , especially when I assured them that the most wholesome and economical description of fex was . ' a direct tax ; explaining that if the tenant paid , the landlord would neve stick against 1 taxation ^ long as ibe rent could be paid out of the I rtadue j whereas , if he himself had to p = y , as a

LEGISLATOR , he would take care to inquire into the necessity of every penny that was paid . The arrangements made by Harrison were very creditable . Nearly one hundred sat down to tea , while several parties were grouped like gipsies through the orchards and grounds . In fact , ic may beconstdered as the Nottinghamshire feast , the whole couatry being there represented . MAKSFIELD . On Tuesday morning I started for Mansfield , and met the procession within about two miles of the town , not the Mansfield procession , but a kind 01 district procession , got up by the Mansfield Chariists-It was truly astounding , aud the order that was preserved throughout surpassed all that could have been anticipated by the Committee . The multitude had swelled to an immense concourse before we reached the town . Wo paraded every street , and at length reached the Market-place , where a strong and very commodious hnstingB were erected . The Magistrates had issned orders to the " rurals " to appear in smock-frocks , and t ^ report my speech ; and the awkward squad , the yeomanry cavalry , were also in readiness . One of the Magistrates was ! in the meeting on horseback , and I did not forget to , remind him of the description of justice the people me t at the hands of lie ^ lansfield Magistrates , when I appeared & 8 CQTmeel to presecute the Duks of Portj land ' s volnnteer drillers and trainers in 1839 . All I the shopkeepers were present , and I did not forget i to remind them of the altered state of their bankj ing accounts and their warerooms , although their I windows / taay yet keep up a decent appearance , i There w / re a number o . f soldiere present , who api _ E £ 3 ietno enjoy the business very much j especially j my assurance to the magistrates , that I would come fifty miles to see a review ox their yeomanry cavalry . Bare military ! these yeomanry men ! they are I like the Galway volcnteer cavalry corps , who j bad so modi to do to mind their riding , that they ! could not even answer the General , lest they thould ; fall 6 ft while speaking . j Clark , Tickers , Mead , and Harrison addressed the j meeting subsequently , and all went off to the I entire satisfaction of the assembled tens of thoui- j _
¦ . \ ¦ ! ! saaus . STJTTON-IN-ASHFIELD . At four o ' clock , we proceeded en route to Sulton , I and in the -course of our way thither , my eyes and 1 senses were regaled at the sight of the Duke of j Portland ' s a . -jricultnral improvements . I eaw land that , seven years ago , would not feed a goose , now growing splendid crops of potatoes , wheat , barley , turnip 3 , and clover ; and I thought of the League 1 and their assurance , that the land would not § rew ; enough , b-scatse it dees not . Tory , and high Tory : though hs bo , give ma a Portland in preference to j ten" thousand factory lords . If a poor man is dis- ] abled in his service , be is never allowed to want ;! while fii the ssrrice of the slaTe-owner , the injured j are tbroTra aside like broken chairs or broken 1 crockery . I fearlessly assert , that if every landed j proprietor in England pursued tho same course as ; tie Tory Duke of Portland does , and as the late \ Earl of Leicester did , agricultural labourers \ would be worth , and would get , £ 2 per week ; j while the population made surplus by ma- j chinsry , would be taken as a reserve from tbe j masters , nnd the home trade would be more valuable : than all the foreign trade in the world . I contend i for it that iwo millions of able-bodied men might be ' partially employed by the landlords ; and mind this j is slave-labour vhieh I do not adroeate , bat I wish j XO draw a picture . I eontend that three millions of ; man may be partially employed at £ 2 per week , which i , would amount to the sum of more than two hundred ; i millions sterling per . annum . I contend for it , that j ' with such a Tnark ^ t , the operative could better j afford to gire a shilling a pound for beef , and four I i shillings a stone for flour , than he could now give a farthiEg a pound for beef , or sixpence a stone for ; 1 flour . I contend further that the produce which we j ! gave the foreigner last year for £ 51 , 000 , 000 millions sterling would have broughtin the home market more i than £ 100 , 000 , 000 millions sterling ; while I also contend that every trade and profession would be set to j active empl 9 jcient , and sbat every emigrant , who has j willingly banished himself from his native land . would , when reformed England and Ireland should thus
| ¦ present inducement , return to their native homes . Within two miles of Sutton , we met the procession ; and , with the Eingle exception of Aberdeen , it wa 3 the moit striking , lovely , and gorgeous my eyes ever beheld . So thoaghi the reporter of the Nottingham Review ^ who sat in front of the carriage ; he estimated the number at over 30 . 000 . The women dressed in white muslin and black scarfs , aud ribbands , being mourning for Holberry , arrested the attention of all ; while the vast number of flag ? , banners , garlands , and framed portraits , were literacy incredible . "When marshalled , the procession looked splendid , and passed in proud array through every street in the town . The treat , however , was reserved for tho three last streets , every -window in -wnich nvere crowded wiih femalo 3 waving garlands and scaall fiigg , and upon every door and window was a printed motto of some sort or other . There were several trinmphal arches across thoss ^ streets , and the number of framed portraits , appended in all directions , wa 3 great . In one group John Collins w ^ s carried with O'Connor , Frost , M'Douail , and Oa 3 tler , but one general shout j of " turn Collins upside down , " burst at one and tho ( same time from every mouth . After having passed ! through , this locality , now called Charier-street , rre arrived at a very spacious and firm hustings . Mr . Fox , a Chartist veteran , was called upon to preside . The memorial to the Queen was moved and seconded , and I supported it , vrhen every hand was held up for it ; after which Clark and ilead addressed the meeting , and all departed to their respective homes 1 highly-delighted , I subsequently dined with some 1 of the Sutton . Chartists as , the Old Trooper Inn , wnere we were vary comfortable . 1 addressed them briefly , and then repaired to the tent raised for the Scirec . It was a very beautiful and tastefully arranged awning of immense size , and was crammed . We had many good Eongs ; and though I had determined not to speak any more , an address presented by the Chai-iistB , forced me upon my legs . At eleven o'clock , afttr two most delightful days , I proceeded to Nottingham , and reached there at two in the morning . And now for a piece of sad news . Between Mansfidd and Sutton , wj met that truly good j fellow , George . Julian Harney , who informed mei that he had-com ? for the purpose of bringing nie ! to 5 r . if 3-.-id , to EK-ei the League , Jit a . meeting called , for Vf ' ednesday by tlie Jla ^ cer Cutler . I at once consented to £ , 0 , and actually left for Nottingham at tba : laU hoar , not being sure of any conveyance I from Satton to ' . he nearest station . 1 gave orders ; that 1 should bo called at seven o ' clock , as I imi derstood ihe firot train fyr Sheffield started at eight . I I was accordingly called by Mr . E . P . Mead , and j when he called' me , I requested of him to go and ascertain from where the omnibus started , when , behold ! he returned , and informed me that the train had started at a quarter before seven , and I that no other wonzd start till half-past eleven , which I wonld be too late . This to me was a sad mortification ; for having beaten the humbugs in 1887 , upon the question of the Ballot at Sheffield , I sbould have gloried in giving the League the finMing stroke in 1842 . However , I feel convinced of two things—first , that my friends will take the will for the deed ; and secondiy , that the people have learned to do their business without me , of and for j themselves . This must be my excuse and consolation . I long to know the news from Sheffield . To-night I address the men of Nottingham in the Market-place , and have just returned from a com : mittee-meeting , where I met many shopkeepers who

The New Hall was hired for th « occasion , and tar « : e placards wera carried round the town to Bay that admission would be one pennj each and reserved seats sixpence . Crowds o \ " Shakspereans" were as-embled round the principal entrance for some timo after the hour at which it was stated the " performance" would commence j but three policemen ( thoBe singular heralds of complete Suffrage !) were placed at the door and admission refused , ileanwhile , stragglexa of the Sturgites and All Sa ^ nta' Chartists v *< jro admitted by a se ) ect door !

Cooper and Beedbam wcr ? asisikd by the gentlemen as rogues , rascals , scoundrels , and so forth , v / heti it was demanded by some of the Suffrage wiseacres " what right tho Chartists had to interrupt their proceedings V Mr . Cooper told them -if they bad brought Joseph S ? ur «; e or Mr . Sptncer , they ivould hare been heard rrnh Te ? pccr , but workiux D ) en would not bear that lit : ]? reneppdc Vincent . Cooper pointed his . finder at Vincent tvhilo he said thi « , and Vincent looked da ^ ers in return , but said nothing . ThocrowJed hall , meanwhile , was filled alternately with outcries againjt the " reneg-ado" and " traitor , " and with tha jovial sons " We'll rally around him . " As soon as a word could be heard from the platform , Mursell tcld tho people he would sit there till mnrriiEtf ; whereupon Beedbam , still moro stoutly , declared "then he wouM remain there till tho night following . " Each of these announcements was followed by cheers . Wine and cakes and sandwiches were then brought for Mr . Mursell . " Chrifttians ought to remember their brethren , " said Cooper ; at least it was so in the time of Christ and his apostles . Mursell immediately took the hjnt andiiaisde < J Bedham a sandwich and Cooper a Biscuit—( loud cheers followed again on all sides . ) For upwards of an hour , the people amused themselves by singing , shouiing , and putting on handkerchiefs in tbe form of ipyhtcipB , to shew their friends tbat they were as zauch determined to stay there all niaht as themselves . The gentlemen pursued their blackguardly attacks upon Beedham and Cooper on the platform . Soon after ten o'clock , Mr . Cooper , thinking rho timo was now arrived for putting ths enemy to ; lie route , called to a Chartist , who had a copy of the Star in his hand , and haying obtained it , began to read , by a word r . t a time , ( echo- d by Charles Burba j < e , a stanch Chartist , who had scaled tbe platforaij the account of the Burnley mcel }?<* of i-hopkcep ^ Tf . A third of the report wits not read before the Sturgites , worn out and exasperated , pushed the litile pedlar on hie legs to bid the audience good ni « ht , and he and the R-bYerend Chairmaa immediately " cut their sticks , " followed by the e / i / e " of the Suffra ^ ers . The Shakspereans set up a shout for victory , and , with Cooper and Beedham in thsir midst , left the hall , singing " Spread the Charter , " and " We'll rally around him , " all the way to their " general ' s"house , where another round of cheers was given , and the multitude dispersed at eleven o ' clock . Not one word could be heard from Vincent during the whole time he was . in the hall , and he did sot make the attempt to be heard for more than ten minutes . Six policemen were stationed inside the room , with their backs to the platform , at the boundary of the " reserved seats ? ' a circumstance to which Mr . Cooper made such allusions among the suffrage gentry , while they were as-sailing him , as made thorn gnash their teeJh . Thousands were outside the hall , unable to get in , and twenty panes were broken in the hall windows , by stone 3 thrown from without . This meeting has created extraordinary dismay and excitement among the sham-reformer 3 of all denom inolJAno ¦ ¦ ¦ 1 1
