pABlIAXKHTABY REVISION . —THE AlRS ASD CiLpkr PBOPaiBToa * . —The objections to the Aire and Older proprietors , who were on the p&rlf&ment&ry lists of electors , " for property at Warehouse Hill , were all allowed on Friday , and those gentlemen , ' px is opmfeer , and all Tories , are now therefore disfran chised . Their names are John BlaydB , Geo . Lane 1 ' os , Edward Jowitt , and Joha Green Paleyj ! Esqrs ., Sir John Lowiher , Bstt ^ and the Rev . Jas . ArmH sge Rhodes . The premises , as we have stated , i for which they haTe hitherto been on the list of I electors , are situated at Warehouse Hill , and the reason why they hare now been disfranchised , is that , in consequence of a large portion of the premises having been let off , the annual value in the i occu pation of the proprietors , is bo much reduced , I as not bow to afford the requisite { annual value of £ 10 to each of them . The premises are situate in ' the Kirk gate Wa .-d . i
SUICIDE BY A SOLDIER . j Oa Tuesday afternoon , an inquest was held before j John Blackburn , Esq .. at the house of Mr . J . W . j Johnson , the Barrack Tavern , en view of the body j of Joseph Bird , a private in the 17 th Lancers , now | stationed at Leeds barracks , who committed suicide , by blowing his brains out with a horse pistol , on j Monday evening . The appearance of the remains i was shocking in the extreme ; the charge of the , pisiol , ( and a very heavy one it must have beeD ) , having parsed from under the chin carrying away : the left side of the face , disfiguring the " right side , ' , and entirely blowing to pieces the skull , scattering the brains in eTery direction . The Jnry having viewed the body , which had been removed to the , dead bouse at the barracks , the following evidence ¦ was heard : — i
Mr . Wm-Hall , quarter-master of the 17 th Lancers , deposed that the deceased had for five or six years been his servant ; he had been in the regiment about twentyone years ; be last saw him alive about a quarter past ten yesterday morning , and had observed for the last few ¦{ reeks , more particularly , symptoms of something like insanity ; be bad been given to drinking , and seldom irent on parade without great appearance of nervousness . The -witness could not assign any cause for the deed ; be bad been bis servant , always paid his monthly bills , ssd with one exception had found nothing ¦ wrong . He considered him an honest man .
Jobn Qoc ? . h , sergeant schoolmaster in the 17 th lancers , said that he saw the deceased about half-past ten o ' clock on Monday morning ; he went into the Quarter Master ' s store-room at that time , in consequence ol hearing a report that the Quarter Master himself had been shot ; the door he fonnd locked ; and -whilst jryirg to effect an entrance the deceased opened the door ; there was much smoke , and deceased said he fc&d been firing his pistol through the window . The report was an unusual one ; the pistol had evidently been leaded with hall . The marks of two balls were afterwards found on the wall of his room , and a ball which bad been fired was fonnd in the room . The
witness tad sot observed any change in his manner , and always considered him of Bound mind . Martha Eastwood , servant to Mr . Hall , the Quarter Master , -who resides is Boslingthorps-lane , deposed that she saw the deceased about half-past twelve on Monday ; she saw no more of him ; at half after three in the afternoon , she heard the report cf a pistol ; she . had heard several reports during the day and took no notice of it ; but about six had occasion to go into a hay-loft on the premises , to fetch some wood , when she saw the deceased laid ; she gave information to other parties , and a boy went up ; had net observed anv thing particular in his manner .
Wd . Britton , son of a private in the regiment , deposed that ha went into the hay-loft , where he found the deceased laid oa the floor on a sack ; he was without coat , waistcoat , and shoes ; he had a pistol in his right hand . Ha was quite dead-Thomas Spiers , policeman , was sent for , and found the deceased laid in the loft as described . He had the pistol , which had evidently been discharged , in his right hand , with his finger on the trigger . At his right side there was a rszx laid . His cap had been shot through , and there were portions of the skull in the cap . His brains -were scattered about the room . From the state of the room it appeared as if the deceased had been burning some papers .
Martha Bird , the wife of the deceased , said she hsd not seen him alive since about six o ' clock yesterday morning ; be had been low-spirited for some time , particularly sisca the death of Mrs . Hall , the wife of tht > quarter master , in whom he always said he bad lost a good mistress . The Jury retired for a few minutes , and returned a verdict that the deceased shot himself whilst labouring tmder temporary derargement

HUDDEKSFIEIiD . —Magisterial Law . —A poor man was heard to be rather noisy ( being intoxicated ) in the presence of several officials during the late excitement ; be was taken before the magistrates , who ordered him to pay fifteen shillingsa sum he could not pay , so was set at liberty , under the promise that he would pay . Failing to do so up to last Monday , he waa placed in the stocks for the debt . If those who are so strenuous for sobriety were treated in a similar manner when intoxicated , the stocks would generally be engaged .
MANCHESTES . —The adjourned inquest sat on "Wednesday upon the death of poor Ljoas , and after remaining together for several hours , broke up in cosruiion , on account of their not agreeing in their opinions npon a verdict , one part saying that it was justifiable homicide , and the other that it was a case of manslaughter , if not murder , a 3 there was no attack made upon the mill by the turn-outs , the assault being made from within . One old gentleman , in the heat of the debate , cried out at the top of his voice , that he would " go to hell twenty-five times before he would agree to a verdict of justifiable homicide ; it was mnrder and nothing less . " Their numbers were as follows : —Eleven for justifiable homicide , and eight for manslaughter ' . And to such a height did they get , that they broke np and left the case as they found it . Nor did they appoint a future day to meet and decide npen it . We suppose that a fresh jury will have to be chosen .

Sedgwick Powdss Mills , neae Kkxdal . —A serious explosion took place at these mills about a ¦ quarter before two o ' clock on the morning of Saturday last . No idea can be formed as to the occasion of the aecident ; but , at the time mentioned , the watchman , who had just been his round and fonnd all right , had returned to vhe watch-house , which he had scarcely entered ere the first blow occurred , and sent in aner him the door which he had closed the moment before . The extent of the damage done -cannot be very accurately estimated until it has been
repaired ; but four mills , with their contents , were destroyed ; and many widows in the neighbouring ¦ cottages , with several panes in Sedgwick House , the residence of J . Wakefield , Esq , one of the propriewirs , were shattered . The grinding milk—in which the explosion occurred—are erected in pairs , one water-wheel turning two pairs of stones ; and the two pairs of mills blown up were separated by * n interval of about twenty yards . Fortunately , no life was sacrificed , and no personal injury sustaiaed by any one . —Kendal Mercury .
Boy Picked up at Sea . —On Thursday last , about noon , the Queen of the Isle steamer , on her passage from Liverpool to Douglas , picked up a small boat , coEtamn ^ ' a boy about ten years of age . The poor fwOlow , -rrnen brought on board , was in a state of partial insaiiity , arising from fear and the effects of the silt ff nter he had drank . It appears , he was a iiule , forlorn wretch , wandering about Douglas . Having , en Saturday week , begged a small bag of infcal , of which some boys endeavoured to rob him , he took refuge in a small boat , which being let adrift by his pursuers , he was carried out to sea , and when discovered by ike captain , was about forty miles from the p lace he had drifted from . A medical man being ^ n ooaid , every attention was paid to him , and he is now in a fair way of recovery .
Fatal Pbize-fight . —Salisbury was on Monday las ; disgraced by a prize-fight , in which a ycung man , eighteen years of age , named James Lsnton , fell a victim to bis adversary , a person about bis own a ^ e , named Joseph Coombs . It appears that a spirit of rivalry has for some time been manifested in both the combatants , who were first cousins , and both of them by trade cordwainers , and Monday was fixed upon for a trial of prowess . Accordingly a waser was laid , and the parties having calmly Beiected their seconds and bottle-holders , proceeded to a field near Lobcombe-gate , about a mfe on the London road , where they were prohibit by the owner of the field from exhibiting their brate-like passions . Nothing disconcerted ,
however , ihey repaired to a meadow eome quarter of a mile nearer the city , but also within the precitcts of the borough , and commenced fighting . The combat lasted nearly an hour , with half-minute intervals between the rounds ; but before many , bad been fought , the deceased was beaten " stone blind . " In order , however , that this mischance Ehocld not interrupt the exhibition his eyes were lanced , and he continued to fight until nature became entirely exhausted , and he was heard to say that he would give in . At this time he was ghastly Pale , and trembled from hand to foot , but being OTer-persu&ded to have one round more , he stood up for thit pnrpoEe , and while Coombs was again putting himself in a fighting attitude , the deceased
Tell to rise no more . At this period , dtboagh me Was evidently all but extinct , the conquering party drew the stakes , and almost immediately repaired to their rendezvous , leaving the deceased upon the field . There he was allowed to remain about a quarter of aa hour , and was then removed on a hurdle to the Salisbury Infirmary , bat before the poor fellow reached the institution , death put an end to nis Bufferings . The magistrates immediately ordered the police to apprehend the parties concerned , and ( . He of the seconds , named Read , 12 already in cusiody , and as tbe others are known , we trust thit every one will be punished . We regret to ado : that upwards of 200 persons witnessed this rsToltiag transaction ,

A few dats ago . the wife of a workman residing in the Rue St . Victor was delivered of her 32 nd child , at the age of 58 years I—Paris paper . Naval Hero op Hpmblk Rank . —Died here lately , Mr . George Gray , at the advanced age of 82 years . For considerably upwards of ihirty years he held the Bitnation of a tidewaiter in the Customs , and a few years ago waa superannuated , receiving a retiring pension for his long and faithful services . At an early period of life he served in the navy , and fought under Admiral Hyde Parker , in t J 5 aUant action of that distinguished officer with the Dutch fleet under Admiral Z > ntman , off the Doggerbank , on the 5 th of August 1781 . He
after-, wards Berved in the grand fleet , under Lord Howe . when sent to tbe relief of the garrison of Gibraltar , in September , 1782 ; and in the partial action which took place between the British fleet and the combined fleets of France and Spain , on the 20 th of Octoberjbllowing , our hero , then on board the Uoliah , / 4 , was disabled from further service to his country in the line of his profession , having lost an arm by one of the last shots which were fired . Although far from obtrusive , yet , when the subject of the action off the Doggerbank was introduced , he entered into it with great spirit , and seemed to feel a pride m having shared in the glory of that memorable engagement , of which , it is believed , he was the last survivor . —Aberdeen Herald .
Emigbaxts in America . —We learn that within the lasi week from seven to eight hundred emigrants have arrived in this city , and that their situation is truly deplorable , friendless and without the means of sustaining themselves from abject suffering unless they can procure work . They could not have come to our shores at a more unpropitious period ; whatever may have been their condition at home , it wa 3 superior to that they are forced into in a season like this ; it i 3 criminal to delude emigrants to come to this country at the present time , and we trust the Irish press will place before the people who may be abont to emigrate , the true condition of those who are here already ; without work or even the prospect of it , they must in a short time be reduced to the
most melancholy straits to procure subsistance . Cannot something be done to relieve the friendless and lonely lot of those who are here in this situation ? We think an effort should be made at all events , to direct and council them in their forlorn condition , and if possible procure for them some means to protect them from the sufferings a Btranger without money in a strange land , must feel . —Boston Pilot . [ Our attention being called to the above extract , we cannot but give it a passing remark . From other sources we have learned that thousands of emigrants are in a most deplorable condition , at which we marvel not . The large towns are literally crammed with those who have left their father-land in quest of an asylum from tyranny ' s fell dominion . These emigrants having had barely sufficient means to convey them across the Atlantic , are compelled to remain where they are set down , consequently there
must be a redundancy of operatives and much distress . Emigrants must either carry their friend in their pocket , or : endure privation , for they may rest assured that hospitality to strangers is assoaroe a commodity in America as in any other part of the world . America has its aristocracy and its profitmongers , maugre its admirable constitution—the tares are there plentiful and require eradicating ; and we think it more praise-worthy and patriotic in Englishmen to stay at home , and labour in reforming the abuses in our own country , rather than to self-expatriate themselves under the vain hope of meeting with a WhiUington ' s fortnne among strangers . We therefore advise all to stay at home —to set their own house in order by clearing away the rubbish which faction has heaped together , always remembering that England ha 3 , within herself , the material to make all her sons comfortable and happy . —Ed .

THE MANCHESTER PACKER . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —Having seen in your paper a resolution passed concerning me at Manchester , allow me , through your means , to tell those gentlemen that I think it would have been the fairest way if they had sent me a line or two first , and then they could but publish me after . My conduct , since I have stood forth in this cause , will bear the strictest scrutiny ; and I know when
those delegates are better informed of my actions , they will come to an opposite conclusion . To enable them to do so , I shall feel much objiged to every locality where I have lectured to senA their opinion of my conduce and abilities to Mr . Cartledge , 34 , Lomosstreet , Bank Top , Manchester , before the 16 th October , when , if I am at liberty until then , I shall meet aty one who can bring the smallest charge against me , and let all that are strangers to me suspend their judgments until then ; and to my friends , let thsxi examine my conduct and report accordingly .
You are , no doubt , aware that I h 3 ve been lecturing in London ; but perhaps you are not aware of one thing , that at every lecture I had the attendance of poYica spies in plain clothes , and sometimes men were sent in to disturb the meeting , and causa a breach of the peace ; but it was " no go . " I have now passed through Wakefield , where the authorities would not allow me to lecture in the open air , so we were oblige to go into a private house , where we had a very comfortable party . ' I proceeded on Tuesday to East Retford , Nottinghamshire , where I found some thousands waiting my arrival , and the police called out , ready cut and dried ( or boiled ) , to put me down . When I came up to the Com Market , and waa just beginning my lectnre , Mr .
Foljambe , the mayor , came up to me , with some more of the " powers that be , " and the blues bringing up the rear , and teld me I mnst not lecture on Chartism in that town . I told him I would go to the outside of the town ; but he said he was a county magistrate , and he would put a step to the meeting if held in the county anywhere within the reach of bifl power . I then asked thia doughty magistrate what reason he oould give for such tyrannical conduct Hia reply was , " I do nol choose to tell my reason . " I then announced ¦ iy intention to lecture in a private hcase , which was received with three hearty cheers : and when we got a very large room in a house belonging to one of the right sort it was filled to suffocation , and thousands hid to stand outside with the policemen , who walked
sentry . _ , I tave to meet Mr . Collins , the " new-move advocate , this evening , Wednesday , in Dcncaster . I expect we shall cot agree : and if he dont go tbe whole hog B . raigiit forward , he may expect little quartet ftom me and th 9 Doncaster trumps . The Tories are drafting it rather tight ; but itB all for the best . Yours , for ever , Thomas Dickinson . I Esst Bedford , Notts , Sept , 20 , 184 ? ,

AMERICAN OPINION OF O'CONNOR AND TBE CHARTISrS . We extract the following article , expressive of public opinion in America , with regard to tbe Charter , from Xhe Plebeian : — " No greater evidence of a great and powerful mind can be furnished to tbe world than an unshaken and firm adherence , amidst repudiation , reproach , and obloquy , to its principles . Their eventual and ultimate success and adoption is the sure and invariable test of their truth and soundness , and the proudest triumph of
the wisdom which devised them , and the indomitable perseverance which secured their practical adoption . Many instances arc to be found in our political history , wherein the community , after "having for yean been misled by artful misrepresentations and rash conclusions , have been induced by the sober Becond thought to sift the true merits of a disputed question , to acknowledge their errors , and yield a cheerful , though late , sanction to measures and to men identified with their vital interests , and with the great cause of humanity .
" And , perhaps , there is no stronger existing evidence of the truth of these observations , than the fact of the present agitation in England of the great and patriotic O'Connor . We see him undismayed amid the scorn and threats of his adversaries , still persevering in the glerious cause of liberty—BtUlenexgetic&Uy maintaining his high position in the hearts of Englishmen . The day is not far distant when the Charter , the principles of which we , as good Republicans , cannot but eommend , will become the great moving force of political action in our mother country . "

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I take the liberty to request you to give publicity to the two inclosed letters , according to the priority of dates , either in this or the next week ' s Star . They relate to , what I consider to be , an unjustifiable attack upon my character , by a magistrate , while acting in his judicial capacity . By complying with the request you will greatly oblige , Yours truly , Peter Brown . Failawottb , Sept . 19 , 1842 . Failsworth , August 29 , 1842 .
Worshipful Sir , —As the excitement consequent on tbe turn-out has nearly subsided , you will now be at liberty , I hope , to forward your proofs for the assertions which you made against me at the Town ' s Hall , Oldaam , on Tuesday , the 16 th instant ; also to assign satisfactory reasons for the language you need , in reference to me tbe preceding day , at the Bull's Head , Failsworth . That you may have no rational plea for refusal , 1 am willing to meet you at Oldbam , and to allow the gentlemen , before whom tbe allegations were made , to decide between us , provided I be permitted to have two friends present I have witten to tbe magistrates of Oldham upon the subject ( a copy ot the letter I enclose to you , ) and left to them and to you the appointment of tbe time of meeting , trusting that it will be before the expiration of a fortnight .
I am , Worshipful Sir , Your obedient servant Peter Brown . To Jonathan Meller , Esq ., Oldbam .

towards me to dete * yon from proving the verity of yonr charges 1 ? You must nave known , that justice to yourself , and to society , demanded that you should do it , particularly when called upon by tbe accused person . Have you the confidence to imagine , now that you have been required to produce your evidenoe , and have shrunk from doing ao , that paople will not say that you could net prove the statements you made—that you uttered slandewus falsehoods . Wbj is my word not worth a larthing f Havel deceived poopla by pretending to what I am not ? Have I promised , in order to deceive ? Have I made false statements ? Have I made serious assertions against the honour and probity of an IndividuBl , as you have dene , and * when urged by the
person whom I have traduced , to produce proofs , have been silent ? Do I fear , think you , the whole of my past conduct being ripped up , scrutinised , and contrasted with your own ? What ! is it because I do not shroud myself with the mantle of religious hypocrisy ? Because I express my opinions on political subjects openly and candidly ? Because I am willing to do justice to all ? Because I advocate the cause of the oppressed against their oppressors , the cause of truth against that of falsehood , that my word is " not worth a farthing" ? Ask the inhabitants of Failsworth and Newton Heath , upon whose integrity they would sooner rely , Jonathan Mellor ' a or mine ; and I have the confidence to think that I should have no reason to blush for the answer . '
Your conduct , in this matter , prompted , as it appeared to me to be , by a vindictive feeling , was highly culpable . _ It is exceedingly culpable for any one , however low bis station , to moke an assertion against another ' s honesty without proof . How much more , then , must it be for a Magistrate , while acting in his judicial capacity , to be guilty of such an offence ? You were not required to give your opinion relative to tbe rectitude of any one , nor were you surrounded by circumstances which could extenuate your language . I , and those with me , did not appear before you ou account of moral dereliction or for any infraction of the laws . All that you bad to do was , to consider whether our pleas against being sworn in as constables were such as you could legally admit or not , and to act accordingly .
As you have set an example by making assertions against my character , it cannot surely be considered unrc asonable if I follow it by making one against yours ; but I promise you , that I will not go the whole length of your precedent . I will not , when called upon , hesitate to come forward to prove it . It is that you acted very uncoutteoualy and unbecomingly at the Bull ' s Head , on the 15 th ult . You spoke as if you were speaking to slaves ; in short , your conduct , In my opinion , was more like that of a thoughtless , uneduoated boor , than of a reflecting , Intelligent , and urbane gentleman ; and I should not be doing my duty to society were I , after publishing this letter , to remain passive —were I not to write to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , to acquaint him with the whole affair , and to request that be will call upon you , either to prove the truth of your words or acknowledge your culpability ; or , on the other hand , to erase your name from tbe list of magistrates .
I am , Worshipful Sir , Yours , Peter Brown To Jonathan Mellor , Esq ., Oldham .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —The authorities here are still doing duty In searching for all persons suspected of taking part in the late riots . The vigilance of the magistrates is in active operation in the different districts of the Potteries . Mr . Ellis was tried on Monday , the 12 th inst , and the Court House , Newcastle-uacter-Ljae , was crowded to hear his examination . After hearing of the evidence , and the cross-examinations , whick lasted five hours , he was committed for high treason . The Hall was adorned with a beautiful piece of artillery inside . A connty meeting of magistrates have decided on having a hoTse patrol for tbe County , and hare already commenced their duties in the Potteries .
Persecution for opinions has reared its hydra-headed influence to put down every honest , industrious , and sobtr-thinfcing man , who may happen to entertain opinions different from those of hia employers , as the fttilowlDg facts will show .- —Some members of tbe Chartist body have been found to read the Northern Star in their own houses , which has come to the knowledge of the masters . For this some of the poor men have been discharged by their Tory task masters As many as seventy at a time have been discharged , suspected of being Chartists , before the time of their mutual agreements had transpired . These are the class who administer the laws , and are the Qrat to break all laws , moral and political . Will our local press take up this monstrous injustice ? No . It will still worship the god , Mammon , and allow the masses to be trampled on by its influence .
Reehabite societies have been wholly dissolved by means of being threatened to be prosecuted as secret orders by the influential part of the community . I suppose this will be called the " suppression of vice . " I must here clafm , Mr . Editor , your indulgence for a little space in your columns . The " Whig 1 ditor" of our local press , it appears , has felt the severe castigation of my letter of last week , headed , " Whig Conspiracy against Chartist Principles . " A whole column of Billingsgate has been lavished on me in his last week ' s Mercury , such as " oneak , " &c , which I treat with contempt , but , for tha satisfaction of every honest and true Chartist , I must here deny the foul lying of this ' Liar of the North . "
He says , in his last week ' s Jfercury , that whan at his office " I said I belonged to » different lodge to that ef Messrs . Richards , Ellis , & Co . " I ma . de no such statement ; these were my words , ' That every member of the Chartist body was responsible for his own acts , and not the body . " With regard to the resolution on the 16 th cf August , passed on the Crown Bank , I took the same views as the Northern Star on that subject , believing it would split up tbe cause , and consequently did not act any part in them . I spoke myself on that occasion in favour of the " People ' s Charter , " not cessation of labour . I left my fellow Chartists to please themselves ; but the Mercury says I did . He is a liar , and like the devil , the father of lies , from the beginning . He says I did not sanction Cooper ' s lectures . I said I did not attend them for the above reasons . Mr . Cooper neither moved , seconded , nor supported , any resolution .
As for J . Richards , Ellis , & Co . being my companions , I acknowledge them all as genuine friends of freedom and pure Chartism ; not what the Mercury makes it , r . amely , riots , incendiarisms , &c . I believe that my compeers are not yet guilty of . such charges , and perhaps , as in a late case with one of our Members , good counsel , and good evidence , which I believe can be had , will prove it . Then the " Liar of tho North " will be cbop-fallen . Let our friends not desert tbo fallen , when the harpies of the law are stretching the law beyond its due limits . Yours in the cause , Moses Simpson . Hanley , Sept . 15 , 1842 .
P . S . In tha introductory remarks to Ellis ' s examination , in the Mercury of the 17 th , it is stated that We Eilia was Chairman for Mr . O'Connor ' s lecture , at Hanley , on May 21 st Such a falsehood should not pass unnoticed at a time like the present The truth is , it was not Ellis , but another young man , a resident of Hanloy , of very promising talent , and whose character is unstained by any immoral act . Ellis took no part whatever in tbe lecture . It is said , too , by the same Whig Editor , that Mr . Ellis said "M'Douall was a base fa . low . " I have received a communication to Bay it is a foul lie . I have no doubt this is done to stop Chartists from giving him their support , pecuniary or otherwise .

ARREST OF MR . JAMES MITCHELL , OF STOCKPOBT . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —Permit me to lay before our friends and the pnblic , the particulars of my arrest at Cburchtown , a village near Southport ; a case which has not only caused hundreds to sympathize with oui cause , but one which has brought down the vengeance of the Liverpool press—the Mercury for instance—upon the heads of the authorities of North Shields , for the brutal and inhuman conduct towards myself and Mr . Gregaon , a gentleman in Churchtown , who for no other offence than merely allowing the use of bis Room for the delivery of a lecture , was oast into prison , fined in the sum of £ 5 with thirteen shillings costs , and bound in the sum of £ 50 himself , and two sureties in the sum of £ 25 each , to appear at the next Liverpool sessions , to answer the same charge . The particulars are as follow : —
On the first instant I visited the place above-mentioned , and at tbe request of a number of tbe inhabitants I promised t » deliver two lectures on the state of the country ; and , being aware of the excited state of things , my object was to steer clear of all opposition , from the authorities and elsewhere ; I drew up the following notice : — " The public are respectfully informed that Mr . Mitchell , ol Stoekpoxt , witt deliver twe lectures , one this evening , and another to-morrow evening , on the present distressed state of the country . Mr . Mitchell will show the real cause of the distress which exists amongst the gnat body of the middle and working clauses , and wilZ also ehow the only peaceable means by which permanent happiness can be restored to the millions . All classes are respectfully requested to attend . "
This notice I presented to Mr . Singleton , the police officer for that district , for his approval or disapproval , and requested his attendance at the lecture . Mr . Singleton gave me his consent , and so far signified his approval of the proceedings that when a Mr Thompson , who had promised tbe use of his room for the occasion , drew back his agreement , he ( Mr . Singleton ) ordered the bellman to continue crying the meeting , and stated that if a room could not be obtained , tae meeting must be held in the open air ;; however Mr . Oregson afterwards kindly volunteered the use of the room , in which the lectures were delivered . The first lecture was delivered , and a more peaceable and orderly meeting I never addressed lu my U ( e . Not a . word of objection was raised from any quarter , not even by Mr . Singleton , who was present the whole of tbe time .
On the second night , just before the lecture commenced , Mr . Gfregson informed me ih . it a policeman had ordered him to turn out the people and lock up the room . I asked why they had given him auca order , and he stated to me that he did not know , but that so long as the proceedings were legal and peaceable he should allow the lecture to go on ; and I also stnted that if the authorities had any objections to my lecturing , or if during any part of my lectnre they would request me to cease , that I would that instant break up the meeting . I commenced speaking , and continued for about an hour and a half , during which there were
four or five police officers , snd , I understand , a magistrate and an attorney present , no one offering a word of opposition to the meeting . Bat at this part of the business a Mr . Jarvis , sergeant of tbe police , requested mo to dissolve the meeting , Baying that he considered it Illegal . I oboyod the order at onoe ; the meeting separated as pf * ceably as on the first night , and I heard no more until the following morning , when I was arrested by Mr . Singleton and conveyed to the Soutbport lock-up , whero I was confined until the next day , without knowing any thing of the charge that was to be preftrre'l against me .
Mr . Gregsoa was arrested ixlao on tho Sunday morning , and kept till Monday , when ho was brought up and fined in the sum of £ 5 for merely lending his room ; but the magistrates finding , after three day's consideration , that they either did not know the law , or that they had stretched it too far , very kindly returned the £ 5 back again to Mr . Gregson , but still kept him under bail for his appearance at the sessions . I was brought up on the Monday , under a charge oF using seditions language at an illegal meeting , but tbe evidance of Mr . Singleton not baing strong enough to co . ivict , ( forhewas the only witness agninst ma ) , I was remanded until the Thursday following , when I was again brought up , but such was the state of my
health , in consequence of my treatment in the dungeon , of which I shall give you a description by and by , that I waa not able to stand during my examination ; But the novelty of the thing is here , Mr . Editor ; on this day fresh evidence was brought against me . Another policeman was found who could say something in the matter ; and what do you think tho subject of his evidence was ? It was this . I told the meeting " that Lord John Russell , previous i >> tho passing of the Reform Bill , declared that no man had a right to obey a law that he had not a voice in making . " On this evidence , and that of Mr . Singleton , the policeman who ordered tho bellman to cry the meeting , and who invited a number of his friends to attend the
meeting , I was ordered by two magistrates , one of whom had been at fee lectnro and listened tome an hour and a hilf before he knew the meeting was illegal , to find bail for my appearance , if called on , at the next Liverpool sessions . I will now juat give you a description of tha dungeon in which I was confined . It is a cellar , the bottom of which is abont six feet below the surface of the eanh ; it is situated under a new house , in which Mr . Jones fee sergeant of police , resides ; the s ' lzs of ib is about five yards by four and a ha ! f . The wall on one side is so damp on some occasions , that the water mas down to the bottom . On another side of the place is a form which Bervcs for a bed and a seat at the same time , one half of it being wet with rain , which runs down tho wall in rainy weather . There is no fire , no Btove , no hot air of any description by which the place can be dried cr heated .
In another part of the place was a tub or backet for tha convenience of prisoners ; to thia thero was no covering ; and I'll-leave you to judge what kind of smell must be continually under the nose cf the inmate . This I had with me three days without being emptied at all . When I first entered the place I had to srope my way to the seat although it wa 3 nine o ' clock in the morning . Xhe length and braadth of the hole through which the light is allowed to penetrate , is about nine inches by two and a half , over which is placed a grid of iron ; and taking off the thickness of iron of which the grid is composed , it leaves about thr ^ e inches by two of pun light .
From the morning of my arrest and confinement in this place , I was forbidden the privilege of writing , even to my family . I was not allowed to apply for legal advice ; I was not allowed to send for , hear from , or write to any person . My diet was one maal eauh twelve hours , and that of an inferior quality ; my bed was th » wet form of which I have given a description ; my covering at night was an old potato sack , with an « ld coat for my pillow : there was part of a horse-rug , in which I sometimes wrapped my feet . This waa the vrholo of my store ; and in this state I was kept from Sunday morning till the Thursday following , without the consolation of a single friend being allowed to
see me . On the Wednesday morning tho keeper came to see me ; and finding that I was Btnveri . ng with cold , and almost speechless with the effects of confinement in such a place , allowed me to coma out and sit by . his kitchen fire , chaining me at the same time to the handla of bis oven door for safety . In an hour I wnsngain placed in the dungeon , until four in the afternoon , wheu I was obliged to be taken ont a second time under similar circumstances . At half-past five I again retired to the regisns below , and at nine o ' clock I was . again allowed to warm myself at the fire for one hour . On this
occasion I begged hard for a ' gill of ¦ warm beer at my own exoence : I thought it would make me sleep a little intho night ; but it was no go . Prisoners vera not allowed to have drink of an intoxicating nature . I asked if I waS under the same regulations as the common felon ? " Yes , " W . ia the answer , " tLere is no difference . " However , the next morning , it was seen that another day would have almost finished me , and Sndins tl : at they had got a bad case ia hand at the same time , they tried t 3 raise iny spirits by singing , " Cheer up your heart , my lad , and never be daunted , " < ts . &c The kind magistrates pitied my case also , and allowed me to sit during my examination .
Sir , I shall make no comment . I have given you the simple facts of the case . I shall leave you and the public to judge and make your own comments . Yours in the cause until death , J . MlICHELL . [ The above statement ia one that should go to the heart of every working man , and , indeed , to tho heart of all of evtry class who are not entirely dead to the calls of humanity and of justice . Mitchell has here told his own tale , and we feel that comment upon it is unnecessary , and only tend to weaken its effect . Wo once more ask , where shall be the end of these things 1
Mitchell was told thai he was to fare the same as the common felon : and thus is all distinction between various classes of offence annihilated . But Mitchell had committedm > offence : he is clearly one ol the victims of Sit James Grakam ' s new doctrine of the power of tbi > police . But let the system work . It is coming to a elose ; and the time is nob distant when tbe renegade Baronet and b 3 a police » piea will alike be consigned to oblivion by an indignant people . Mitchell has been treated as a felon ; but we enter our solemn protest against even a felon being se treated . The hellhole at Southport is clearly unfit fer any human being to occupy . }

SAMUEL MUNDIN , THE CHARWST 4 PRISOiNER . At the close of the mooting , held at the Associations' Hill , Old Bailey , the case of Samuel Mundin , the Chartist , prisoner , waa bronRht under the consider ration of tho Council , as one of the utmost and most pressing necessity , involving the prospects and liberty 0 ? the man . [ It will bo recollected that Mnndin , who is a boot and shoemaker , waa one of the individuals taken np by the police , rather more than three weeks back , at the Chartist meeting of the Marylebone district , held near the terminus of the Great Western Railway ; since when he has been incarcerated for want of tha required bail ]
Mr . WaddingtoB said that this was a , case of the greatest hardship ; the unfortunate man , who was remarkable for his indnstry and good conduct , and who has a wife and two children dependent for their support oh his exertions , was at that moment without the meatta of defence , and his trial was fixed , to come on on Monday next . He ( Mr . Waddiagton ) had received a letter from , and sought an . interview with him , on the subject of hi 3 defence , but was re-r fased to see him . Ha had twenty-five witnesses to character , in the prisoner ' s case , and had ( as he was understood ) , offered bail in five instances for him , but the autnorities had thrown every obstacle in the way , and refused the bail tendered . There was no
time to oe lost in getting up the poor man ' s defence ; council and attorney wcra yet to be employed . The members of the Chartist body should "pat their shoulders to tho wheel , " for if thia man should be lost for want of proper exertion , i : would be an eternal disgrace to the Chartist body . ( Hear , hear . ) The man ' s wife has been allowed to see him once ia prison ; but she was poor , and unable to do anything to serve him . She was reduced , oven , by tne incarceration , of her husband , and her consequent inability to pay her rent , to leave the placo whore he carried on hi 3 l > u 8 inB ? s prior to his incarceration , — namely , Market-street , Edjrware-road , and the blow which iias coma upon him was ruin to him .
Mr . Salmon said that a committee of delegates had been appointed to look after Muadiu ' s case . Mr . . Waduington—Then that committee has done nothing ! Mr . Gardener , an operative , said he was present when Mundin was taken by the police , who knocked and pulled him ( Mandin ) about in a most violent manner . ; and ho ( Mr . Gardener ) knew , from experience , that the authorities would do every thing ia their power to convict the poor man if they could . Exertions should , therefore , be at once ma ^ e to get up his defence , t
Mr . Gardener ( who said that Mundin s only offence was , that he said— " 1 adjourn this meeting ! " ) then narrated that he was himself taken up on the occasion in question , and subjected to three weeks' imprisonment for no other causo than having been present at the meeting ; 0 * Shame ! " ) in addition to whioh , he had beou treated with the greatest indignity at the station house—stripped even to his boots and stockings , and searched by tho polioe . ( renewed murmurs . ) After some further discn-sioD , it was moved "by Mr . Over ton , and sccondod by Mr . Sumner , that Mundin ' s case be brought before the council of Delegates on Sunday ( to-morrow ) ; and Mr . Waddington pledged himself to gat some subscriptions among his friends towards the expenses of the defence . The meeting then separated .

HOW TO CATCH THE CHARTISTS . We invite the attention of tbe Chronicle and the public to the following sample of Cotton . Lord honesty : —On tbe 17 th of August , Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , the dread of tbe Cotton Lords , was arresttd in his own house under the folio * ing circumstances : — A messenger came to bis house , between ten and eleven o'clock , with an anonymous letter , purporting to come from the Secretary of a secret Association sitting at Oldham , and deliberating upon the best means of carrying the Charter , by destroying life and property . Mr . Leach was not at home when the messenger arrived , and Mrs . Leach saw him . Leach returned , when the letter was banded to him , and instantly
1 the messenger began to stamp with his feet as , load as he could . «• What's the matter with . you ? " inquired Mrs . Leech . " O , " said he , 1 " my feet are so blistered from walking that i I can't keep them quiet ! " " Hold , hold , " said ! Mrs . Leach , " you'll diaturb the neighbours . If your ¦ feet are sore , 111 give you some linen to put to them . " ; Leach , in the meantime , was reading the letter , and I having concluded , and shrewdly suspecting that it was ¦ a trap , be tore it in small pieces , the messenger still ; continuing his stamping most outrageously . On tbe sndden , Beswick tbe constable and man of all-work of : tbe League , and tbe authorities , rushed in , looked at
the letter , shoved the assassin out of the room , apprehended Leach , put him into 3 coach , and drove him off to prison . The moment that Beswick had started , M'MnUen , another of the police gang , rushed into tbe house , ran up stairs , and gathered np every fragment of the torn letter , tied it up with cord , and took it away . Now there ia a plain story , on which comment would be an inanlt to common secse , and proves at once the means to which tbe League , tbe masters , the authorities , and their jackails will resort , to establish tbeir hellish dominion upon the ruina of Chartism . —Evening Star .

THE PATRIOT COOPER . The spirit with which this indomitable patriot "bears up against a load of woes , " may be in some sort estimated by the following extract of a private letter to her , kindly furnished by Mrs . Cooper : — " Stafford , Monday , Sept 19 th , 1842 . ? ?«? *?• " Well , I still look forward with a calm and intrepid hope , not that I shall get ont of these tolls unscathed , bat that I shall be able , und-iuntedly , though with tbe mode&ty of a man , ' to speak the truth , and fear not ;' and then that I shall be able to meet and endure my sentence as becomes one who has so often displayed to assembled thousands tho high and holy example of L&timer , and TUleigh , and Algernon Sydney , and all the worthies of Old England . I wiilhope the best , bat meet the worst , as it becomes those to do who have embarked all their hopes and fears—who have thrown their whole being into the struggle tor truth .
• ' A fortnight from to-day , and the Judges enter Stafford for our trials ! How rapidly the time will pass away ! and then cornea tbe effort . How exaltingly I shall go up to it ! I used to feel proud to go out on the Sunday evenings , to take my stand in Leicester Market Place , to deliver truth ; but how much more proudly shall I proceed to this trial ! My heart will ba tbe lightest in Court that day . It shall be a day in my life , depend on it !"

DEATH OF MR . Q . M . BARTLETI .
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Southampton , Sept . 19 th , 1812 . Dear Sir , —I have jnst received a letter from Bath , which communicates the melancholy and cfflicUng intelligence of the death of ray brother ( your reporter ) , Mr . GK M . Bartlett . The sorrowful event took placa at his residence , 19 , Gloucester Road Buildings , Lower Swanswick , ou Sunday morning , at one o ' clock . In him the cause has lost a valuable supporter , and his friends a social and agreeable companion , whose loss will be long lamented and deplored . I cannot but imagine him to be another on the list of tha victims of
Whiggery . He has frequently said he never should recover the injuries he sustained by his confinement in Ilchester Gaol . His health has been gradually declining ever sinca ; and his exertions , latterly , in attending public meetings have accelerated it . He was most industrious in his application to his duty ; unceasing in hia exertions to improve his mind . Solely , by self culture , was be able , not only to arrive at a knowledge of his own language , fco that he might write it corr ^ c tly , but also to a sufficient knowledge of the French and Latin , as to be able to read and translate them with propriety ; and this by perseverance alone , without the aid of a master .
As regards his uprightness and integrity of beaithia love of principle , and hia firm determination to stand or fall by the truth , nothing can more illustrate it , than his late exposition of some of his friends for their vacilating and sliding policy . In this I believe him to be upright , honest , and just . Tbo love of principle urged him to do his duty , and by loving principle , he bated and detested expediency . He was a kind and affectionate brother , a dutiful son to hla parent * , whose chief support he was . Incessantly he laboured for their welfare and happiness , and found great comfort and happiness himself by doing so . Not aa idle boor has be spent for the last seven years of his life , the whole of -whioh time has been entirely devoted to the cause of democracy , for which he was ever an advocate . He lived and died in its faith—an honour to himself , an honour to tho cause , and an honour to mankind .
