sit . DEIS jtbikkds , —generally nappens all the troubles into which the villany of oar enemies lefcds the people fall upon my shoulders at last , and so it is now . The Corn Law League hoped to make tools of our party for the accomplishment of . their © wn baae ends , bat have signally failed in their direct attempt . They hare sucoeeded . however , in sub * jeciiBg hundreds of < mr best men to torture and persecution , and to incarceration for want of enormous ball ; thus prejudging and punishing by anticipation ; the " Liberal" Magistrates Btrainin * every nerve to
remove the leaders of that opposition , which has reduoed the free trade ranks to a faction merely to be laughed at . They have done this in the hope of caking a Vigorous struggle , during the winter , for the restoration of the Whigs , headed by Palmerston , npon a pledge to carry out the principles of free trade- Bnt despair sot . Those span whom the tyrants could not pounce , will each do tea men's work . I will meet them at all points , will battle them and beat them . But , my friends , what can give greater nerre to faction than the hope that neflect of our victims will cause dread in our
ranks , silence our opposition , scare others from taking the place of those who have been suffered to go to trial and receive punishment , without even the semblance of defence , while their families are consigned to beggary and starvation ! ThiB is too much to expect from any , and is likely to intimidate all . I have had several letters inquiring as to the course that I mean to pursue in respect of the approaching Commissions . I have been asked whethei or no I mean to confine the defence merely to - Cb . artist prisoners , or to include all who were connected with the strike ! My answer is this : —
It is my intention to defend every man , whether Chartist er not , who is to be tried for taking part in the League's revolution . It is my intention to defend Mr . Turner , the TORY , who stands charged with printing a certain placard , as well as Leach , the honoured President of our yet uvisa asd still PBOSPEBise Association j and the brave White and bold Cooper ; it is my intention to see that each and all are defended . There is one case , however , which particularly occupies my attention , and should arrest that of every lover of justice and mankind . The devils have resolved upon making the tragedy
as deep as possible , and not satisfied without blood , tiey mean to try Ellis of Stafford , for High Tbeasos , of course by a Jury poisoned by the viperous press against him . He must have counsel , but he must have two , and those the best ; his life is as dear as that of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and must not be forfeited to our apathy . I know that it is not yoar practice to spur a free-horse to death ; but bear in mind that the defence of the prisoners in 1839 left tie fnnd over £ 200 in my debt ; and since then the freqt-eat draws upon mehave put it cut of my power to relieve the couniry of the duty of subscribing for the defence of all the prisoners . I
advanced nine hundred guineas fer the employment of counsel for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; but I cannot do so now , and the whole sum as yet subscribed falls ehon of . £ 12 . Under theBe circumstances , you must say what is to be done . Many parties have written to me about engaging solicitors for themselves , and speak of raising separate funds . Nothing could be more injurious . In 1839 the fund raised for Stephens would have covered the whole expence of Frost ' s trial , and all othere ; and many others had subscriptions , none of which were appropriated to their defence , while all was thrown npon my fihonldexs .
Now , what I propose is this : —That one fund be raised for the general defence . If we must employ special counsel for Ellis , the whole will cost about £ 1 , 000 ; but if each man be allowed to employ his own solicitor , the expence would be about £ 30 / 000 . As Mr . R . B . B . Cobbett is on the spot , and already master of most of the cases , and near the evidence which we shall require , I propose that he should be employed generally for Lancashire ,
leaving the selection of couasel to me . Mr . Roberts , of Bath , has undertaken to act as solicitor for the Staffordshire victims , with no more remuneration than his expences . We could not have a better man ; and I , therefore , propose that bis offer be accepted , and that he be invited k > proceed to Stafford forthwith , in order that the defences may be well got up . Now , if this course meets with general approbation , let the TnftftTtB of carrying it into effect be ii once set about .
Of course , after the heartless answer given by the Sturgites to the application on behalf of poor honest George White , we have no hope from that quarter ; but White shall not be under any obligation to them i and perhaps the time may come when another express may be sent from Nottingham to me , to start at night from London , to aid in Mr . Storge ' s return ; and perhaps I may be able to write " NO , " and a thumping one , as well as the cold-hearted blood hounds whom White charges with entrapping
him , and who . then insult him because he wonld not allow them to betray hi 3 party . I always told yon that there was not an hones ter ereatnre or a braver in existence than poor George . Indeed , it appears that th 9 vipers have selected our best and honestest men as their prey ; but we must defend them . One gestleman , yon will have seen , who styles himself " A Hater of Oppression , " has given £ 2 , but with that middle-class clemency ceases , —perhaps they mean to reserve their clemency for the jury-box .
I am resolved that the originators of the revolution shall be exposed j and , therefore , let a Committe be instantly appointed at Manchester for receiving evidence . The devils are moving heaven and e&nh in London to seduce the Chartists from their fidelity , but all in vain ; whatever colours they recruit under we soon see the cloven foot of the "Free-traders . " Not a man can they crimp ; and rely upon it that they eh all not take the capitol either by storm or surprise . Would it not have be « n matter of rejoicing had I been fast by the heels , while the people were to be defended , and faction was to make its market 1 Bnt , thank God , I am as large in spite of ALL , and still upon the watch-tower to cry out , " WOLF , " " WOLF , " * WOLF : " so the lambs need not fear .
Trusting that thi 3 appeal will be speedily answered , so that onr enemies may not £ ay that Chartism and public spirit have retrograded , I am , your faithful friend , FZAEGCS" O'COKSOK .

THE EXECUTIVE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO THE PEOPLE . Bsothee Chastists . —At the present moment when the most anxious endeavours of the combined factions have been industriously at work , for the purpose of destroying that movement which we , as your responsible servants , have been as assiduously endeavouring to establish upon a sound and permanent basis , you have naturally been looking to us for that counsel and advice which , as your elected
servants , it 13 our duty to tender . From the circumstances in which we have been placed—one being banished , and two others in different parts of the country in custody of Governmental authorities—it was wholly oat of our power to lay our views before yon at an earlier period ; and indeed we only embrace this , the first opportunity for our re-assembling , to prepare your minds for those suggestions which hereafter we shall submit to you . In the present crisis the whole public mind should be devoted to the allabsorbing consideration of the best means of releasing onr victimised friends from those chains in
"which for a time faction has tyrannically bound them . To the performance of that duty , for the pre-8 eBtj we invite your deep , your every thouglii , and wken tag conflict of mock trials and special commissions shall have terminated ) when the empire of reason shall be again restoredj—and when the mind shall have been calmed after the raging storm , then shall we be prepared to justify every act of our own ; to prove even to the moBt critically fastidious that in all our trans actions we have acted in strict accordance with the law , UDjosfc though it be .
In the mean time our every energy should be aj work , and all onr faculties strung , in order to give efect to those principles which are alike dear to you

and ourselves . Brethren , despair not ; democracy has been under many clouds before , aud has as often burst through the mists of despotism with increased refulgency and splendour . Watch our enemies in whatever shape they may present themselves before you ; f ight the battle with them inch by inch upon the field of principle ; and right must ultimately triumph over might . In order to accomplish this desirable object , and to foil the enemies of freedom , every nerve must be strained , every exertionincreased , to raiBe funds to defend those patriots who havefailen into the pit dug for them alike by Whig and Tory . At present there 13 no other alternative . We ,
therefore , urgently urge on the friends of humanity , jus'ice , and patriotism , the paramount necessity of instanter setting to work , to furnish our friends with the means to fee counsel , and to support themselves and families whilst in the trammels of the law . To avoid expence , we would recommend * where practicable , that the same counsel should attend upon as many prisoners as possible . We also most seriously urge upon the whole country to send all monies collected for the victims to be forwarded to Mr . O'Connor , 252 , Strand , London ; and that he should have the power to expend the money so collected until after the trials , in the manner that his judgment may dictate .
In conclusion , we hope that you will shew the same firmness in this trying ordeal that has distinguished you in former exigencies . Hoping that you will do your duty in the sacred cause of freedom , We remain , Your brother democrats , And faithful servants and representatives , J . Campbell , Secretary .

FURTHER DISTURBANCES IN MANCHESTER , AND MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE . Oa Thursday afternoon , the 15 th inst , a party of turn-out "weavers ¦ w ent to the mill of Mr . Morris , in the Oldfield Road , where a number of knobsticks from other towns had commenced working . The object the turnouts had in view was to prevail upon the strangers , if possible , to leave the milL Bnt having been seen by some of the overlookers , and other lickspittles , in their approach to the premises , a desperate attack was made upon the poor half-starved turn-outs , who , taken by surprise , run in all directions , leaving to the tender mercies of the dastardly Bcoundrels , who were armed with picking sticks , an inoffensive young man , of the name of Lyons , whom they beat about the head , till he
fell down insensible ; aud there is not the least doubt but be would have been billed on the spot , had not the parties who accompanied him again rallied , and driven the assailants back into the mill . Lyons was then removed in a state of insensibility to the Infirmary , where he died on Friday morning , aoout ten o ' clock , having never uttered one word . As soon as it became known that Lyons was dead , a deep feeling of sympathy was manifested all over the town , and curses , long , loud , and deep , were uttered against the horrible system that engenders such melancholy results . The wearer ' s committee , upon learning the mournful intelligence , deputed some of their body to wait upon the Chirtiits and Teetotallers , the deceased being a member of both these Associations , in order to apprise them of the fact , aad requesting their
asusance . A coronort inquest was held on view of the body , on Saturday evening last . I am informed they could set agree upon their verdict , and in consequence an adjournment took place until Wednesday , the 21 st instant The Ceronex however gave bis warrant for the interment of the body , which was removed from the infirmary on Sunday afternoon , to his lodgings in London Road . Information having been given to the authorities that the weavers had determined to attend the funeral of their deceased friend , sod walk in procession , to the grave , the mayor , Mr . JCield , issued a placard , of which the following is a copy : —
" Caution . —All persons are requested not to join any procession , or assemble in the streets or roads for any purpose whatever , such practices , under present circumstances , being illegal , and will not be allowed . " We Neild , Mayor . " Town Hall , Sept 19 th , 1842 . "
FUBTHEB . PARTICULARS . Fu . yebal of Ltons . —Oa Monday afternoon about one o ' clock , large numbers of people were seen weeding their way to the house where the body of the deceased lay : these were attacked by the police , who after cruelly beating some and apprehending others , succeeded in dispersing them from the front of London-road . A party of well dressed and respectable females , in number about 209 , headed by & good looking old man , then made their appearance , but were not allowed to
approach nearer than Piccadilly before they were dispersed by the police , aud the old man taken into custody ; this circumstance enraged the people that they divided into different groups and attacked several mills , breaking a great number of windows , and compelling the people employed therein to leave work . Mr . Beswick then took possession of the house wherein lay the remains of the murdered man , and took upon himself the power of dictating who should or who should not follow the deceased , limiting the number to twenty-four individuals .
By this time the burial ground belonging to the Reverend J . Schokfield was densely crowded , with persons anxiously awaiting the arrival of the mournful cavalcade . After some delay , owing to the obstructions by the ponce , who had taken up their position in great numbers opposite Mr . Scholefield ' s premises , the body was carried into the church upon the shoulders of four men , ( the amiable Mr . Beswicfc having issued an order that there should be only eight carriers allowed . ) preceeded by Mr . Scholefield , pronouncing , with great emph&iis , the solemn words of Chiist , "I am the resurrection , &c , " the vast multitude maintaining the most solemn silence . After that part of the ceremony had been go .- e through , which is asaal in the church . The Rev . Gentleman lef ; the pulpit and preceded the body to the grave , repeating " The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away , " ic The body was
then deposited in its last resting place , amidst the . sighs and tears of thos 9 who loved him , and Mr . Scholefislrt having mounted the base of Hunt's Monument , gtive unt a bjma , in fiingiDg which the assembly joined . Durirag the sir . ging of ih . 9 hymn , several of the bluea came into the yard , for what purpose is best known to themselves and their base employers . Mr . Scholefk-ld then delivered a short address , in which he told the people that ho felt proud at the orderly manner in which they ha J conducted themselves whilst paying the last tribute of respect to their martyred friend , and concluded by advising them to return to their homes peaceably , and thus give no pretext to their enemies to have recourse to violent measures . The Rev . Gentleman then went to the blues , who still remained , and nsked them what might be their business upon his pren / ises ? One of them made answer it was fer the purpOb ¦<* of protecting his property .
Hr . Scholtfifld then Wd them leave the yard in-BtanQy , assuring them that the people would not ipjure him in ' , viyway , and consequently he needed none of their pro . ' € ction at t ° at time . None o / the people upon leaving the ground , were allowed to go' alocg Every-street , but were compelled to go in a dire * * tioQ which was pointed out to them by the police , no i'uatter at what personal inconvenience , or however far it / 'gbt be out of their way . ' Nothing can exc % d ibo disgust entertained at the conduct of the autho . " ** ' 168 throughout the whole of the proceedings of Monday ; " * fle mayor and magistrates , in their eagerness to prevent a manifestation of sympathy for an inoffensive man , wh *» b ^ * basely murdered ,
collected the whole of the T ? ol ! Cd for «» together , and kept them like a swarm of vultures around a dead body , while within a few hun <* red yards from the spot , property to a considerable a . ™"" * & destroyed ; Mr . Thompson ' s factory in Mill- * tr& ^ t , * f attacked ; the knobsticks driven from work ; some ° f ttem » Mooting to report , severely iDJured ; and tL «« f " just-asses " and their myrmidons skulking in a a ^ ' perfectly peaceable , for no other purpose that we eoi ^ a ° sC 0 J , ^ but that of rendering more poignant the sol ^ ow wnicn musl have been so keenly felt by the relative or tne unfortunate martyr of might against right . Oa ^ t not these wiseacres to be hsld responsible for the br& . 'nai of the peace and destruction of property ?

Tuesday , and a present of money for the women to have a comfortable cup of tea in the evening . - The factory commenced , working at noon on Tuesday . TJh 3 » baa given a fresh tone to the strike , for we know of one mill that the weavers had come to tne conolusuta of going In on the same conditions that they came o « fc on ; but as soon as they heard that Mr . Thompson , : of Mill-street , had given the advance , they called a meeting of the hands , and determined upon trying a few days longer . Mr . D . Donovan was arrested at Stockpori on Sa *^ day night , and brought to Manchester in & post-chaise j and when brought before the magistrates , on Monday morning , there was no charge against him . He was forthwith discharged . Mr . D . said be was much obliged to them for the ride home , for it was much pleasauter tiding in a carriage than walking on foot Wednesday .
Since I wrote last , there is a great change in the strike—tbe power-loom weaver ' s Btrike seems to be nearly terminated . I have been in conversation with some of tbe Weaver's Committee , and they tell me . In mast instances , there is a general disposition to resume work , the masters engaging to better tbe condition of their operatives , and some few of them having . given a alight advance , bo that I think the whole of tbe mills will be at work to morrow , with their fall compliment of hands . THURSDAY MOBMire .,.
Termination of the Strike . —The strike in tho manufacturing districts may now be considered aa having terminated ; many of the mills commenced working yesterday afternoon , and tbU morning the people are going to work as if there had never been any difference between them and the employers ; but although work is resumed , the tfiVeta have not ended , nor tyranny banished , for the manufacturers are the same wen they always were . They have commenced their old work of selecting victims fur their fury ; and all who have taken an active part in the turn-out are discharged , aud , on account of the superabundance of labour in the labour market , these men are marked out , and thrown upon the world to starve for the park they have taken in this struggle of suffering humanity against the avaricious cupidity of capital .

- ^^^^^•^^^ - ^^^ V ^ - ^ s ^^^^^^^ V ^^^^^^^^^^ Wrfi ^ . PRESTON . In tbe coutse of last week a writ came down from the Lord Chancellor , addressed to the Clerk of the Crown for the Duchy of Lancaster , Mr , R . W . Hopkins , whose office is in this town , ordering a gaol delivery tor the 1 st of Oct at Lancaster . The writ was forwurdud to the High Sheriff , Mr . T . R . W . France , vrho issued summonses to sbout 100 jurymen , addressed to various parts of the county . There are 112 prisoners committed from different parts of the county to Kirkdalo gaol , besides niua who
were out on bail ; bnt as it is not stated whether it will be a general gaol delivery , it is not known whether those who stand committed for trial at the nest quarter sessions will be included in th « commission . On this subject the decision of tbe three Judges appointed to the commission will be received here at the Sheriff soffice to-morrow . The prisoners in the gaol at Salford are very numerous , but in Preston House of Correction there are only five , and iu Lancaster but two , committed on charges connected with the Lite riots . There will be two courts open .
On Friday , two persons charged as rioters in the late tumultuous proceedings of tbe 12 th of August were apprehended by . Joseph Dearden , the town beadle , and committed for trial by the magistrates at the Town Hall . Along with several others , for whose apprehension warrants have for some time been issued , they bad kept out of the way until the restoration of ( ranqnillity emboldened them to return into the town-One of these , Thomas N orris , was charged before Mr . J . Barstow , as one of the leaders in the attack committed by a great crowd of persons at the mills if Messrs . Germain , Petty , and Co ., Leighton , whore they conducted themselves with great violence and disorder , causing the mill to be etopp 3 d . The- bands having left work , the crowd dispersed . The other
prisoner , fhomas Pedder , was charged with having , on the same day , attacked the factory of Messrs . Horrocka , in Canal-street , and having led the mob up the stairs , where he behaved with a considerable degree of violence . Along with tbe other prisoner , he wob sent to the House of Correction . The three unhappy individuals who were wonnded by the fire of the soidfez * Etill remain in the House of Correction , enduring considerable suffering . One of these , a steam-loom weaver , twenty-one years of age , was shot through the cap of the knee , and h : > leg was immediately amputated about six inches above the knee ; another , Bryan Hutchings , 36 , a sbofcrnaier , was wounded above the hip , the
bullet still remaining in the body ; and the third , 21 , was shot through the wiist It will be some time before they can leave this benevolent institution ; but in consequence of their sufferings , tbe Recorder has kindly informed them , that although tbe two former have been recognised as amongst the most active leaders of the mob on the fatal occasion , their prosecution will not be proceeded with . In addition to Lancaster nnd Mercer , the individuals who died in this establishment , these were the only ones amongst the wounded who were , taken there . The two other unhappy men died at their own homes , whither also many of the other wounded were conveyed ; but the same forbearance is shown with them as with those at
present in the House of Recovery . The mayor and magistrates have wholly forbidden political Gr other meetings of a dangerous character , and it was intended a few days since to bold a meeting for the purpose of ' appointing a delegate to the National Suffrage Convention of Great Britain , emanating from Joseph Sturge , to be held at Birmingham . Permission was given on condition that Mr . Bannister , the intelligent superintendent of police , and other officers , might be pressnt , which was agreed to , but the meeting -was afterwards adjourned sine die on account of the meeting at Birmingham having been postponed .
In connexion with the new military arrangement , for tho northern districts , Preston is to become the future depot of a large assemblage of troops . There have hitherto been no barracks In the town , and the troopa now here , consisting of about one hundred and fifty Rifles , are quartered in temporary barracks in a factory in Water-street A site of twenty-five and a half acies on Fulwood-moor , the property of the Duchy of Lancaster , and in the centre of the former race course , has been secured by Government for the erection of cavairy and infantry barracks capable of containing 2 , 000 troops . An active correspondence has lately been
carried on with the Board of Ordnance , and it is expected daily that estimates for the contracts for the works will be published . The spot has been selected by Captain Burrows , barraebmaster at B' . ackburn , and Captain Rutherford , ecgineer to the Board of Ordnance at Manchester ; and many phns have been sent up to London for the approval of Government . The circumstances which have dictated this choice over tho plan proposed for enlarging the barracks at Blackburn in order to mate that the northern depot for troops , appears to be the facility of their transport by railroad to the south , and to Ireland and Scotland through the nev 7 port of Fleetwood .
The inhabitants of Preston and Blackburn have both taken up the matter very warmly , and in the latter town a site of land was offered gratuitously for the erection of barracks . The matter has , however , finally been set at rest by Government having acknowledged the superior advantages of this town , and operations for their erection aro expected to take place immediately . This decision was staled chiefly from the opinion of the Duke of Wellington .

The Complete Suffbagists and Fhee Teaders —In the Independent of last Saturday appeared a report of a meeting of the Free Trade Association , held the proceeding Monday evening . Mr . Allen , a , member of the Complete Suffrage Association , said , " that the supporters of that Association ( the Complete Suffrage ) were all Free Traders , and so far from [ eeling ihe least jealousy , or offering the least opposition to this association , they ( the Complete Suffragists ) hoped that the two bodies would be oompascd , to a large extent , of the same members , and that as societies they would render each other mutual assistance . " Mr . Beale , another and a leading member of the Complete Suffrage Association , after giving it as his opinion that ; an immediate repeal of the corn laws was not desirable , went oa to say—" that to demand the
immediate repeal of the Corn Laws savoured of the dogmatism which had been shewn by the Chartists , when they required Parliament forthwith to pass the Charter entire and unaltered into law . " Of course Mr . Beale is no dogmatist , and therefore does not require Parliament to pass the " six points" of Completo Suffrage " entire" into law ! Mr . Conolly " reforreu" to the opposition which the free trade movement had experienced from the Chartists , and congratulated the meeting in the belief that such opposition was now at an end ; but that it had ceased , not through the forbearance of the parties who he believed had boon hired to betray and damage the popular cause . He beliaved that the wages of corruption were no longer to bo had , and that the opposition which had thus been promoted would now cease" ! The opposition oeased , eh ? Try . it on" !
