Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo , bound ia cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGTJAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar .
BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are dijestd , therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadih disticct-ons and unnecessary sub-divisions in Analogy , "which , if at all useful , can ' only ' be useful to foreigners . The science of G'ammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism ¦ which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged
for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle- founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Kature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of TJniversal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as dearly as " it understands that two and two make four .
In Syntax , the formation of the English Language i 3 exclusively consulted , . without any unnecessary reference to other Languages A majority of the mrmersns . Holes given in most Grammars are shewn $ O be li ' tds better than a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Examples . By the Use of this Book , and its accompanying Exerciges , acy person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine oat of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar ai all .
THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE
PRESS , Selected from & best of similar ones , may eonvpy some idea of the public estimation in which this Work is holden : — " Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pnpils commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the ineEory is through the understanding . It is bnt justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the stricture of the English language than can he found in Eome very elaborate works .

THE STAFFORDSHIRE MINERS . ( From our Correspondent . }
To appearance the colliers turn out is settling down into quiet submission to the will of the coal proprietors , aBd every thing seems to say that the men are beat ; hut I say , and fearlessly say , that it is only in appearance , for there is a sirong under current rnnning powerfnily , that will show itself in turning the tide , and again , I say , will these districts witnes all the evils of & determined and regular system of opposition to the encroachments made on the Tights of labour \ and although quiet appears on the surface , I feel that ere long that quiet will flee away , and all will be excitement and open resistance to the measures of those who now flatter themselves that they have eonquered their men .
I judge thn 3 from my knowledge of the human mind generally , and I may say in this ca-e more particularly . Englishmen do not like to be beat , and unless I mueh mistake the character of the miners , they will try again—yes , and again—before they will settle down quietly to be beat , and become the willing slaves of every fool ot knave who may desire to tyrannize over their fellow men . The master coal miners and the authorities are now trying to strike with terror the minds of the population . There are about fifteen sent to prison for the part ihey have t&ken in the colliers ' - turn out some on one pretence and some on another ; the real cause being kept in the back ground , and only the pretence appearing to the public eye ; so that there
appears to the public a show of justice , bnt in reality a vindictive determination to punish all who by their exertions or their talents have been serviceable to the calliers j but if any one i 3 but barely suspected of being a Chartist , ¦ vhy then there is no mercy—off he goes , and no mistake I and where any other would escape Tvith one month ' s dance on the mill , the poor Chartist is sure togtt three . Well , we must bear with this ; the sacredness of our cause , the justness of our principles , will not be injured by a little boil-ng over of aristocratic vengeance . The Chartists , as a body , have not mixed themselves up with the colliers' turn out , nor will they . Yet we cannot shut onr eyes or our ears while we see and . hear the effects produced by this affair of the colliers '
rarn . The state of these once flourishing districts h now very much changed . At the Union Bastile upwards of one thousand go regularly for their meals every day . The same thing occurs in the Burslem and "Woolstanton Union , with this irifTng difference , that the numbers exceed those of Stoke upon-Trent parish- Here , then , the beauty of the present system oozes ont , and the rate payers have the comfortable assurance that donble the amount must be raised to coTer the expence 3 of the starving , clamorous , and despised poor .

BRADFORD— A procession of Odd Fellow ? took place on Sunday last , which , for numbers and respectability , has seldom been equalled in this town . They proceeded from the Odd Fellows' Hall , and marched in procession to the Parish Church , when the Rev . Dr . Scoresby , the vicar , preached on the occasion . " At the conclusion , a collection vras made on behalf of the New Infirmary at Bradford , amounting to upwards of £ 50 . HALIFAS .-Impobta > t Meeting of Coal 3 h > - £ ES—One of the most important and spirited meetings it has ever been our lot to witness was held in the Odd Fellows' Hail , in this town , on Monday , which was attended by delegates from nearly all th&mining districts for twenty miles round Halifax .
The meeting was composed of coal miners only , ; none others being allowed admission . The numbers ] present werebetwiit 700 and 800 . The meeting was ! called for the purpose of taking into consideration the distrgfsed condition of that class of labourers to i which they belong , and to devise some means whereby < their sufferings- could oe alienated .

We cannot help expressing the regret we feel , that our former appeal in behalf of Mrs . Holberry , has not been responded to , to the extent we had hoped . We know the extreme poverty of the people , but we know too , that the smallest mite from each member of the National Charter Association , would be
amply euffioient to place above the reach of want , the bereaved partner of our martyred brother . Let but the Ch ' aitiat leaders and lecturers do their duty , and we feel-assured that the people will do theirs . To our "townsmen , and to the Chartists of Leicester , Liverpool , West-Bromwich , and other places , who have already responded to our call , we return our thanks , not forgetting our patriotic champion , Mr . Buncombe , M . P . to whom we return our thanks for his generous and truly-liberal donation of £ 5 , announced in the Star , of Saturday last .
Brother Chartists , we earnestly appeal to yon to do your duty : let not the tyrantB who destroyed poor Holberry have the hellish delight of gloating ever the want-made woes of his wicfosv , and the apathy of those whose duty it is to shield her from fur : her suffering . Rouse ye , and prove to the world that ye know how to honour the martyrs who perish in the Etruggle to free you from chains and misery , not only by building cold-stone monuments to their memories , and at your assemblies giving your loud plaudits to their names ; bnt , in addition to these , by placing above want and poverty those whom the assassinated patriots have left behind them , looking to you for protection , sympathy , and support .
Now , Brother Chartists , a pull altogether , a mite from each Chartist , a few shillings from each locality , and the work will be done . Your own hearts will approve the act , and the lasting gratitude of her in whose behalf we plead will be your bright reward .

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . The news of the issuing of the writ reached us on Saturday . Nothing can surpass the excitement which it produced ! Gronps of persons of all ages in society were " collected at every avenue , canvassing the probable , upshot of this great moral struggle . The non-electors' committee were immediately upon the _ atari , dispatches were forthwith expedited to Mr . O'Connor , and every preparation mada for the coming battle ; a tough one it will be ; but either party are sanguine as to the result ending in a victory on their own side .
On Sunday morning Mr . Mead lectured m the town upon Burton Leys , and Mr . West arrived from Derby about eleven o ' clock , and immediately went oyeT to Arnold , where lie delivered two admirable discourses . Mr . Mead preached to many assembled thousands upon the forest , at half-past two , from the following words : — "And Pharaoh said unto his servants where shall we find such an one a 3 this , a man in whom the Spirit of God is ! " The character of Joseph was ably and beautifully commented upon , and his wisdom , prudence , and piety , contrasted with the legislators of the present day , and their unfitness to govern plainly demonstrated .
An . able comparison was drawn between the respective merits of John Walter and Joseph Sturgo , upon whom Mr . Mead passed the highest euloijiums . He said he had known that gentleman twelve years , and that a , s a meek , pious , and humble , but actively practical Christian . As a philanthropist , and an honest liberal-minded gentleman he had but few equals , and no superiors . He then made a powerful appeal to the prudence and good sense of the working and middle classes , and showed the important duties they "had to perform in makiDg a choics between two men so strongly contrasted in their characters as John Walters and Joseph Sturge ; and at the conclusion of this discourse tested the
judgment of his auditory by a show of hands for each . The demonstration of popular feeling was striking , for , amid the immense mass not a single hand was shown for Walters , while the show lor Joseph'Sturge was magnificent . A Chartist hyma wa 3 then " sung , which made Old Sherwood re-echo ; a collection made , and many Chartist circulars , tracts , and songs disposed of . ^ Numbers came forward to enrol their names , and the immense assembly dispersed at half-past six o ' clock , when the Old Commodore again was at hi 3 post , with Mr . Jno . Wnite , from the Potteries , whom in an animated address he introduced to the meeting , Mr . White delivered a most eloquent address , which lasted about three quartere of an hour , and elicited the gr < atest applause .
Oar yonpg friend is an engineer , and has obtained a good seat of work at New Radford . He is a t , Teat acquisition to onr cause ; his talents are brilliant ; and he , though scarcely twenty years old , evinces great powers of mind , and deep reading . After Mr . White bad concluded , the Commodore again addressed the people for about twenty minutes . Another collection was made , making up , with that of . the afternoon , one pound . Many more enrolled their names , and thus ended Sunday . We never saw more enthusiasm in any meeting in onrlives .
Monday Morsisg—Mr . Feargns O Connor and Dr . M'Douall arrived by the four o ' clock train from London . Walters had arrived on Saturday , and addressed his clique in tae Conservative Halh There was a very thin muster and little enthusiasm ; The learned scribe of the " Bloody Old Times " amused his vassal with a good deal of old woman's twaddle . Amongst the rest , he beldly asserted , ( hear this , ye working men ; do but hear the wisdom of thi Sir Solomon—this second Daniel come to judgment ) , he said that he did not agree with Universal Suffrage ; the present ssfirage gave every
hones ' , and industrious man a fair chance of voimg . After a good deal more en suit stuff about onr glorious -Constitution in Church and State , the iearned and sapient gent , took his departnre ; scarcely one cried out " God bless you . The Commute Rooms were crowded at an early hour , and arrangements were made for a greai meeting in the Market-place , at one o ' e ! or-k . An active canvnss i 3 going on amongst the Tories ; plenty of lush , and with it tobacco money ( a new way to pay Tory eld debts , ) is being distributed ^ but nothing like a barefaced bribe has yet been seen , although , no doubt , plenty is going on under the rose .
Twelve o'Clock—The steam is getting up . At one ; it is at high pressore ^—thousands upon thousands are rushing to the scene of action . At halfpast one , Mr O'Connor , with Messrs ! West , M'Douall , Mead , Sweet , Langmire , aud ^ others mounted the waggon ; Mr . Mead was unanimously called to the chair , and immediately introduced Mr . West to the meeting . He was heard throughout bis eloquent Mid Moasterly speech without difficulty by the immense meeting , and elicited rapturous aDolause . During his address , Mr . Sturge and his
friends -were seen spproicning , and load cheers rent the welkin . They ware welcomed upon the waggon with great and prolonged cheers . Mr . O Connor succeeded Mr . West ; and in his might , too , the great Chief of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales ' s democratic host hurled the gauntlet at the foe , set the blue lambs at defiance , pledged himself to conserve the peace and property of the town , urged npon the people the necessity of steady , sober , and vigilant conduct , and sat down amid the long and reiterated cheers of the assembled thousands . ... .
The Chairman then introduced Dr . M'Douall to the meeting , who spoke at great length , and with great eloquence and ability , eliciting repeated rounds of enthusiastic applause . To enter into the particulars of the speeches of these Bterling advocates of democracy would be to us impossible from mere memory ,

suffice it to say , there was never seen more flaming enthusiasm , more firm unflinching displays of patriotic ardour in any m * n . The candle is lighted , and the enemies of men and God cannot put it out , nor dim its steady but brilliant lustre . Mr . Mead now again came forward , and in introducing Mr . Siurge to the meeting , passed a high enlogium upon the Hon . Geutleman . whem hehad the honour to call his fellow-townsman , and now was prond to call him his brother democrat . He entreated the meeting to give him snob . & reception as his well-known virtues justly merited ; and he doubted not they would be satisfied when they had heard Mr . Sturge , that they could not make a wiser or a better man their choice . Mt . STURGBthen stood forward , amid the vivas long and loud of the great and dense masses , and said— - . ¦ - ¦¦; v ¦" : ¦¦¦
Gentlemen , I thank you for the marks of approbation which you have shown me , and I thank those gentlemen who have preceded me most heartilyvfor their good opinions . I believe this struggle will be one which will but be the precursor of a greater and more general one . I have received letters from America , and from France also ; and , indeed , the eyea of all Europe are upon us , and anxiously waiting the event of this contest . Was not my heart animated by the hope of being humbly instrumental in furthering the great work of human regeneration . I would never consent to stand here as a candidate for your suffrages—I would prefer Newgate to the House of Commons ; but I , am fully convinced of the justness of a full , fair , free , and complete
representation of all male adults of sane rniad , that I have made up my mind to accept of your invitation ; and I am ready , Bhould you elect ne , again to resign the trust which you will repose in my hands the moment I oeace to give you satisfaction . I have been taunted by the appellation of the M the Quaker Chartist , " as if the sentiments held by our friends , and those hold by Chartists , were opposed ; bat we friends are men of peace , and I declare I would sooner sacrifice my own life than take that of any man , under any circumstances . I believe the six points of the People ' 9 Charter are founded upon the eternal laws of nature and justice , and are in strict accordance with the law of Christ , This I declared to a friend who wrote to me , expressing his surprise
at my declaring myself for these eix points ; and I told him I believed if he or any other fair and impartial man gave them a candid consideration , they must come to the very same conclusion . The Hon . Gentleman spoke then of America , and drew a favourable comparison between her Repulican in * stitutions and those ef other lands , especially our o « ktj . His . speech throughout convinced us that we have far under-rated His merits . — He is evidently deeply embued with the true spirit of demociapy—and hiB philanthropy and sound morals—his plain , straightforward , blunt honesty—together with his primitive simplicity and candour , have evidently won him * an interest in many hearts . He concluded amidst enthusiaatio chpers .
Mr . O'Connor then again came forward , and britfly addressed the meeting , for the purpose of taking a show of hands in behalf of Mr . Sturge . The sight of such a forest of handa was , indeed , a cheering one . Mr . O'Connor then , with the most ludicrous drollery , told those who were in favour of Walter'to show their tongues ; bnt there was not a tongue to wag—not a dog mean enough to wag a tongue f «( $ bo ' r John . O , the TIMES ! Tee Chairman then thanked the meeting for their attention and good conduct . A vote of thanks was proposed , seconded , and pat by air . O'Ceunor , and oarried with choora , when the meeting separated till seven o'clock , At seven o'clock the people flocked from all quarters to Bunker ' s Hill , where a rostrum had been erested out of the committee room windows . This
erection is at a considerable height , and the coup d ' ceil from , this elevation was immense ; we should say not less than forty thousand persons were present . Mr . James Sweet was called upon to preside , and addressed the vast assembly at considerable length . He then said be had much pleasure in presenting to thftir notice their old veteran friend Mr . Mead , of Birmingham , better known by the name of the old tough Commodore . Mr . Mead addressed the people at great length and in sound doctrine . Dr . M'DouaH , in a long and eloquent speech , then addressed tHe meeting with great applause , and very forcibly depicted the wrongs which labour suffered from class-legislation . His speech was moat admirable .
Mr . O Connor then cams forward amid the most deatuing cheering , and spoke at considerable length in the most animating strain . He touched upon the probable resort of the enemy to physical force with their lambs , or with their yeomanry , and gave his advice as to the conduct of the people in such an event—went into the landed question—and into the interest which this election created all over the land . We never heard him with greater satisfaction . He retired amid immen = e applause . The immense mass then formed in procession—O'Connor , M'Douall , Sweet , Longmire , and Morrison leading the van ; a choir of male and female singers followed , and commenced with the Birmingham Gathering soDg—traversed , with tens of thousands at their heelo , cheering &i interFals , all the principle streets of Nottingham till nearly eleven o ' clock , when , fairly jaded ,, we sought the balmy poppies of Morpheus , to wrap our senses in oblivious repose for the renewal of strength for tomorrow .

NOTTINGHAM . { From our oxen Correspondent . ) SERIOT 73 RIOT ; BLOODY ATTACK OF TORY HIRED BLUDGEOX-3 IEN" UPON THE CHARTISTS ; COXSPIR 4 CF TO MURDER O'COXNOIl ; SEVERAL WARRANT 3 ISSUED AGAINST HIM FOR RIOT , ASSAULT , AFFRAYS , AND LARCENY ; CLEAKINd THE TOWN BY THE BRAVE CHARTISTS , LED ON IN PERSON BY O'CONNOR ; CAPIURE OF THE ENEMY'S HUSTINGS .
In my last communication , I omitted to state that Stephens had been imported here by the Tories , and also Mr . J . Doherty of Manchester : and yesterday large bills were posted , announcing the intention of the Rev . Gentleman to address the people in the Market-place , at seven , where it had been announced that the Chartists would hold their meeting . Early in the evening a very large waggon was plauked over as a hustings , for the "blue lambs , " and was stationed at the top of the Market-place . Subsequently , a waggon was placed in the centre for the Chartist hustings ; bnt -when the people assembled , they wheeled the Chartist waggon within
about ten yards of the blue hustings . At a few minutes after seven , O'Connor and the committee arrived , and mounted their waggon amid the most deafening thunders of applause . Shortly after Mr . Stephens made his appearance amid the squalling of the hired bludgeon-men , and the execrations of the people . For a length of time cheers and coanter cheers were given , the Rev . Gentleman and his backers trying to get up the steam . As if by common consent every portrait of Stephens , which had not been destroyed , was drawn from the pockets of the owners , torn in pieces , and pitched in his face . When the confusion was at its height , Mr . Sturge forced his way through the " lambs , " and
mounted his hustings ; and while standing in the front was hailed with load and repeated cheers . There he stood like an oak-tree , using his best exertions to preserve the peace . At length , and after about three quarters of an hour spent in crimination and recrimination , the Tory bludgeon-men charged ; while a fishmonger , who undertook to lead the troops , unscrewed a nut from the wheel of the waggon , and flung it at Mr . O'Connor . The ruffians being prepared for a row , and hired for the purpose , took the Chartists by surprise , and drove them back abaut four or five yards ; when the leaders , in ** smock-frocks / ' entered the lists , knockinar down all before them . The moment
the charge was made , Mr . O'Connor eung out , " Now , Chartists , do your duty : charge ! " and instantly sprung from the waggon , forced his way ' through the Chartist ranks , crossed the cpace made by the gladiator ^ laying every leader sprawling on the gTound . "Voung Clarke , of Stockport , sprung from the waggon , nearly at the same time , and he , with Dr . M Douall and the right wing , charged those at the other Bide * where the fight had not before commenced . O'Connor received a violent blow on the shoulder , and had his hat knocked off ; but rallied in a moment , charged the enemy in front , knocking down all before him , and fighting to the houses , the blues fighting and retreating . Now the
whole Chartist body moved on , O'Connor at their head , turned the Blaes' flank , and drove them like sheep up the several streets that led from the Marketplace . In the mean time the right flank of the Blues had been turned by M'Douall and Clarke , and the left wing of the Chartists , and in their retreat they met O'Connor in the front . Here the rush of both aides was tremendous . O'Connor was knocked down , from thirty to forty falling npoa him amidst the most terrific yells * ud screaming . la a moment , he was on bis Ieg 3 again , and charged the Tory waggon , which was still held by the bravest and the stoutest of the bine party
The summit was at least eight feet from the ground ; and as Mr . O'Connor made the spring to reach it , the man on guard aimed a fearful kick at his head , which , had it taken effect , must have seriously injured if not killed him , but which he fortunately warded off , and , seizing his opponent by the ancle , pitched him head foremost off the stage , amid the reiterated cheers of the assembled thousands . By this time Mr . M'Douall and Clarke had scaled the right side , and , simultaneously , the champions presented themselves amid thunders of applause as victors in possession of the Tory camp , and which was instantlj wheeled over , amid deafening cheers ,

io be added . . ta- the Cbartis ) hustinjr * , when Mr . O'Connor stood- m front in an old leather cap w liob ^ ?? ^ eQtl WMndly placed on his head , when the Market was cleared of the Tory bludgeon men . There could ndt have been fewer than 50 , 000 persons presjut , whom M'Douallj Cooper , Mead , O'Connor , and West addressed without the slightest interruption . ^ 'After which . the whcle body fell into procession , and ^ proceeded through the principal streets , staging Chartist Bongs , wi'h their leaders at their head , and so continued till a lite hour at night . whenall separated peaceably , havingaooompaniedO Connor to his lodginga , which were made to nng again with the echo from thousands of voices . But yet the storj has to be told . Bullies are not
^ only cowards , , but are invariably dishonourable . Immediately after the battle the discomfitad Blues went to the police office , where the magistrates were assembled ; and they preferre d numberlesscharges ? . « oT&X 5 ? . ¦ AMwnita Frearaon ; one for LARC&N 1 ., - for having stolen a cap from a boy's head ; another for riot , and more than twenty for assault ; every man who had a black eye , a bloody nose . a ^ broken jaw , or sore bones , swearing , one and all , that it wa ? O'Connor who iuflicted the wounds . The result of which was , that warrants were issued for the apprehension of Mr . O'Connor and the Alderman , and ah attempt made by the Tory Graham's new batch . of justices to have the hearing at ten o ' olock to morrowthe very hour
, ofnomination , for the purpose of gagging O'Connor , and prevent him from replying to Walter , as iti is intended to put him , O'Connor , in nomination . Air . O Connor , upon hearing these facts , repaired to the Court * and ascertained that the old magistrates had very manfully held out against this pettty act of vengeance , and that Saturday- at eleven o'clock was appointed as the time for hearing the several oases againsthim ; ; .,: r- ~ -V " '¦'' ¦ .

In the meantime the town is in . an unparalleled state of excitement , and the Tories are absolutely fixing a price upon O'Connor's head , and arming their hired niffiuia with , deadly weapona for tHe occasion This evening . is pregnant with events . The people hold a grand demonstration in the market place , and the blues threaten a rally and fresh attack . I enclose you one of the chop-fallen bills of the moral-force Tories . ; How small they now sing , and how loud was ! old Walter when the Chartists were the honestesfc fellows in the world , when they were making a tool and a fool of the old gentleman for their own purposes : —
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM . The reign of terror has commenced . ¦ An -I . rhh bully , backed by a band of hired ruffians , strangers to your town and neighbourhood ; has insultedY outraged , aud savagely maltreated a , number of your fellow townsmen , who were peaceably assembled in public meeting to discuss the demerits of the accursed Poor 'Law . ' , ¦ ' •¦; . ¦ . ; ' ' . - . ; : ¦ ' . _ ¦ \ : . ' ¦ , ;¦ -: ' , ¦ : - Appeal will be made to the law for your protection : but in the meanwhile . if your indignant voice be not raised in acceuts of thunder , fresh outrage may ba perpetrated . v '
Will you , free-born Englishmen , crouch in base submission before this Irish blackguard ? His practices in Cork and Gal way are too well-known to require mention . Will you permit them to be renewed here for the suppression "' - . of free discussion , and for the intimidation of the loyal and independent Electors ! . . '¦¦ /^ . ' . ¦ . " : '; ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦/ .: '¦¦ '¦/ ' ¦ ' : " Friend" Sturge calls himself an apostle of peace , and has pledged himself to leave the town as soon aa the first assault was . committed . Call upon him to explain to you how it happened that he was upon the waggon with this rascally gang encou / aging , and shaking hands with , their riotous leader ^ the very moment before they assaulted ypur peaceable fellow-townsmen almost under his eyes , and , as they supposed , for his espeqial advantage .
Be net deceived ! Sturge , the pacific , and O'Connor , " the brave , " have one common object in view-rtho subjugation of your town by brute foroo to the intolerable tyranny of Btrangers ! For the accomplishment of that object they are filling your town witha '' physical force" of Chartists from distant places , and with a hired mob of : Irish reapers , who are to goto work oh your crops with the shellelah , instead of the sickle . HowJong will yon permit this conspiracy of bragadoceos to triumph , to obstruct your trade , to injure your interests ^ and to trample
down your rights and privileges \ If you will boldly announce your determination to stand by , and put in force , the insuUed laws of your country , their system of intolerable and irresponsible despotism is at an end now and for ever .- O'Connor is " brave * " very "brave , " when he has thousands at his heels . - ^ What he is , when mt t man to man , r know not , ; but his countryman , honest Tom Steele , branded him publicly with insult , in a letter published three weeks ago , and has never been called to , account for it . An Elector . Nottingham , August 3 , 1841 .
The cry Of ¦" . " O Connor for ever ¦•!' " is ringing through the town ; and many who were before wavering , are flocking unto the 5 CUTK 0 standard . Mr . O'Connor is very much bruised in the chest and back , but still r « ady to maintain tho good fight . Nothing can equal the enthusiasm and valour of the brave Irish fellows who contend loudly for the honour of forming O'Connor ' s body guard , while in Nottingham . M'Douall , Cooper , Clarke , Commodore Mead , Sweet , and all the Chartist leaders are working like black slaves , while the Whigs are not flijichirig a single inch from the defence and support of the Chartists { indeed , is their passage last night through the town , the people were cheered on from nearly every window ; and should Sturge win his election , all are ready to yield to the excellent arrangement , sound speeches , judicious cone uct and brave boarbg of the leaders and working men . -., ' .- ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ , ¦ ..: . - ... , -. - :.
^ The market is now being cleared for the erection of the hustings for thei nomination , and planks are laid ontside , while the police ato making arrangements for the preservation of the peace .

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . The Execntive have perceived in the Siar newspaper a Betiea Of public questioM put to them , or rather to ih ' e publics , by a meeting of delegates at Leicester , the number of delegates being twehtv-one , and of course representimj twenty-one localities of North and South Leicestershire . '/ : ¦ ¦ ' . " ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . '¦ - ¦ - .. ¦ . '¦ ; - . -,. ¦ . - -: ; - ¦¦ . _ - ¦ . ¦ ¦; . The Executive have to state , In reply to those delegates , that the role and custom of the Association is to communicate through the General Secretary ; - and if . he refuses to give , and the Executive refasea to give an itumediata and satisfactory answer , the complaining parties at-e then at perfect liberty to publish their grievances when and where they please .
In this instance the General Secretary has received no letter from the Leicester delegates , and , consequently , the Executive do not only not feel bound ; to answer tee questions , but , at the same time , consider the course of proceeding to be uncalled for , and calculated to excite great division in our Association . The . Executive has also observed several xema'ks upon their conduct ; and proposals , in the Sttir , and in reference to that thoy have to state , that any public news , paper has a clear and distinct tight to criticise them as it may think proper ; and that such criticism—fair or unfair—will never influence the Executive in coming into contact with the public press .
The Star ' w known and recognised as the organ of the Chartist public , consisting of millions . The Executive ore merely officers of the Association , consistr ing of rather more than 50 , 000 members . Their duties are distinct and separate . The Executive have summoned a Conference to be held in Manchester on the 16 th August ^ when thoy will answer any question put to them \ by the officers of the Association ; bnt they decline bringing the private affiirs of the Association before those who are not members . If the localities around Manchester do not desire a Conference , it is their right to vote against it ; and if the localities around London do not desire Conferences , let them decide , aye or no . : "
The Executive are ready to meet the charges brought against them , but they will not lend themselves as the sowers of discord , or excite division by making public quarrel with the officers of the National Charter A »^ ociation . The Executive desire to meet the General Council , who can legally assemble together upon any point , and transact business / Th « Executive fully rely upon the members of the National Charter Association , supporting them , and trust that every member will consider it h ; s duty to afford them an opportunity of defending themselves before their cbnstituences . The Executive are quite satisfied that every member of the ; Association will weigh well this subject , and , by so doing , arrive at just conclusions oh the same . John Campbell , Sec .
