f H AYE great pleasure ( and no small share of pride ) 1 in submitting the following encomium up < in my little Compilation , the POOR MAN'S COMPANION for 1843 , to the notice of the public generally ; convinced that the lovers of bight and truth will be pleased , with me , that this three-penny-worth .

I take the liberty , however , to use it in this public manner ; satisfied that Mr . O'Connor will not object to my doing 60 , as its publication can only have the effect of accomplishing his own desire , —ensuring the increased circulation of what he deems a good and useful book ; lisefnl , I hope , to the Poor Man and to tbe Poor Man's cause . ; JOS .

BOMBARDMENT OF BARCELONA-( From the Moniteur Parisien of Sunday night J We have received the following letters from Barcelona to tbe 5 th inst . The following ii a Bummary of their « jntent « : — " The bombardment began on the 3 rd , at eleven , a-m ., and continued without interruption until midnight , 817 bombs having been thrown into the city , causing the greatest damage , and setting fire to several places . The quarter where the Municipal or Town-bouse is sitn&ted was particnlarj y affected by the fire . General Tan Eblen Eizni&ed . on the 4 th , that he would give six hours to the authorities and inhabitants to disAra the corpos froneot , who still held out , and if the place did not surrender at theerpiratien of that period , he would resume the bombardment The authorities , after having convoked the principal citizens , and , assisted by a preat portion of tbe population , immediately commenced to disarm the insurgents , and succcened . The town has suffered much , and it is impossible to
estimate the damage that has been done or tbe number of victims who have fallen , On tbe 5 th the fire was still Tagirg in some quarters . The French Consul , wbose z"l , energy , wisdom , and humanity , cannot be too highly praised , obtained from the Commanders of the French ships of war in the roads the as ' * nceof the crews , who afforded every assistance whu their known activity . Before the bombardment the insurgent militia sent en ro « se t *> the ship where ttoetr officers bad taken rtfage . demanding with fory that they should be given ut > . an ' ' the Commanderfcad to repulse them with force . Several houses belonging to the French , and even that of the Consul , were more or less damaged . A forced tax of two millions of piastres was about to be imposed on the to'n . The Regent had not . yet made his entr ^ nct 1 into Barcelona As soon as the town was furronnded , and Van Halen and the troops bad made their entrance a > £ tq p . m . on tbe 4 th , the General I&sued tha following proclejnaUon : —
" Don Antonio Van Halen Sarti , Murphe y Castanedo , CooDt of Peracamps . & ?„ Captain-Genera ? of the 2 nd Military District , Commandant-General of the First Corps d'Armee , &c The town of Barcelona having submitted to the empire of the laws , violated by the most Bcindalous sedition , my first duty ia to prescribe the measures which at the first moment I consider most conducive to order by destroying every kid of anarchy ; tt » chastise the crimes that have been committed , and to protect honourable Spaniards , tbe
faithful defenders of tfce legitimate throne of onr vonog Qneen , of the Ctonatitataan tbat bsa been iwom to , and of the Recency , with which the nation has Invested the Duke of Victory , by investing him with a shield of a nature to preserve their persons and their property , menaced by the ambition and efforts of the partisans of despotism . Consequently , making use of the powers which have been conferred on me , and aTe afcribed to me by decree , as Cbmmanderin-Chief of the army in compaigo . I decree the following M&tfo : —
" Art . 1- —Barcelona is declared in an exceptional state from the first shot fired at the troops of which tbe brave , faithful , and well-deserving army is coiupeaed . The state of sirgs will continue so long as circumstances shall require it 11 2—The National Guards of all arms is dissolved in Barcelona , until its re organisation bns been determined according te the rigorous terms of the law . " 3 . —AU the arms and war material belonging to the said militia , as well as tbe arms extracted from the national ma £ 3 sines . with all the articles and effects appertaining to the State , shall be delivered up within twentyfour hours , without fail , after the date of this proclamation , to the fort of the Atarazacas . " 4—At the expiration of the twenty-four hours any one infracting this order shall be shot
" 5 —Any denouncer ef the existence of arms in any honss . or in the possession of any individual , shall receive & 8 a reward 10 , 000 reals . This ntm shall be paid by the person or master of the houoe or locality where the said arms shal ! be se z 3 d . In the event of the incompetency of the party to pay the flna it shall be levied oa the qnarter where he or they live . 6 . —Within two days all arms and weapons of every kind , including those for hunting , shall be given up by tbe inhabitants of Barcelona , and no person shall be allowed to retain any except by virtue of a license to that effect . " 7 .-10 , 000 reals line for the infraction of the preceding article . " 8 Everything valuable , whether in horses , furniture . &c , ta&en from tbe individuals forming the garri-Bon . to be restored , 01 the value thereof .
' ¦ 9 . Any one committing a robbery , or any other crime against public order , to be shot , whether he belong to tbe population or to the army . " 10 . The legally constituted authorities will see thai all crimes are duly prosecuted in the Interest of public justice , and any one who , by word * or otherwise , commits au outrage ia to be severely punished . Tbe troops as well ns the inhabitants are to forget the past , and are to embrace each other like brothers . Tbe authorities are and will remain responsible for the execution of the present decree , their mission being only to preve the offences and to T-nnish them . " Barcelona , Dsc . 4 , 1842 . "

KBIGHI ^ Y . —The usual delegate mett ) ss for this district « u held in the Working Mens * Hall . Ktlghley , on Sunday latst , where it was determined to eall a public meeting , for tbe purpose of electing a delegate to Conference at Birmingham . Arrangements were accordingly entered into for that purpose , after which tbe proceedings of the Executive were brought before tbe meeting , the delegates being of opinion that that body bad clearly outstepped their duty , bnt considered that the best and wisest policy under present circumstances would be the settling the affair as soon as possible , and that active steps ought to be taken immediately for the prevention of such evils for tbe future . After the
matter had been fairly discussed the following resolution was put , and Tmauimous ' . y carried— " That this meeting deeply regrets that tbe conduct of the Executive should have been such as to call for tbe exposures -which have recently been made , and that we beg to recommend tbe plan suggested by Mr . Cooper , or some other that might be agreed npon by the Delegates , at tbe forthcoming Conference , as we deem it absolute !; necessary that active measures should be taken to restore peace and good wiil amongst oar ranks , deeply feariDg that the present coarse of proceeding , if not instantly cheeked , trill prove a great detriment to the suceess of our righteous and holy cause . "
CHELHsrORD . —At a full meeting of the Chartists of tnis town and its vicinity , on Monday evening , Bee the 12 th , it was resolved : — " That we , the Chartists of Chelmsford exceedingly regret that any difference should exist in our ranks , and are sorry that the Executive have in the slightest degree deviated from the plan of Ofginizitloa ; we pledge ourselves to act up to the rules of our Association to the ntmoet of our power . We at the same time cannot approve of tbe course taken by the Editor of the Northtrn Star , believing that
denunciation only tends to create an ill-feeling in our body , whereas our every movement ooght to be characterised by a spirit of kindness and brotherly love , wad if differences exist , our sentiments should be expressed In & friendly manner ; we therefore hope that all bickering will cease , and that our future movements will be in accordance with the principles of true democracry , " " That this meeting is of opinion that the bereaved partner of the talented , eloquent , and patriotic Dr . M'Doo&H should receive the full amount of bis , wages daring his absence .
NEWCASTLE . —The Chartist ' s Debating Society was commenced in tbe Q | Mtist Hall , Goat Inn , on Sunday afternoon , when thenbject of a repeal of the Corn Laws was discussed , and it was agreed that a repeal 0 ! the import duty npon com , ( without accompanying meaiures ) would be a cutse , instead of a blessing to the labouring classes of these realmB . Tbe subject to be discussed next Sanday , at one o ' clock in the afternoon , is , whether it would be wise or judicious to extend political power to tbe fair sex ? A lecture was delivered in the evening , by Mr Edward Charlton , on the present state of things , and the reason why he became a Chartist . The appearance of Mr . Cbarlton reminded the Chartists of bygone days , and be was bailed with most emtbasi>ic ; pplauv 2 throughout hiB address . He concluded by moving the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Seed , supported by Mr . Sinclair , and agreed to unanimously : —
* ' That the persons sow present sea the necessity of not only uniting with tbe advocates of universal freedom themselves , but pledge themselves forthwith to use their every effort to induce their acquaintances to join , and , by their united efforts , to procure those rights to whieh we are entitled , as men and aa Britons . " Mr . Rogers ntxt addressed the meeting , in -which he very ably elucidated the Six Points of the Peo&Wa Charter , and the good that would accrue to the industrious classes by that document becoming the law of the land . A special meeting of the Chartists of Newcastle and Satesbtad was held in the Chartists ' Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , Mr . T . Kuox in the chair . The minutes o f the previous ( business ) meeting having
been confirmed , the Secretary read Mr . White ' s reply to tbe letter which he was intrusted to write him on last meetteg night , which was highly satisfactory , and received with deafening cheers j after which a deputation of four from the Complete Suffrage Association waited to propose a union of action at the public meeting to elect delegate to the Conference .

A special meeting of the General Council was held on Sanday , to inquire and ezamico the Balance Sheet of the Executive and other matters connected with the Executive . The report of the Council is to be laid before the various localities before it is made public . Arrangements were made for the publio meeting to be held on Monday , for the election of delegates to tho Birmingham Conference . A Public meeting was held on Monday , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , on the was-te ground near the Odd Fellows' Hall , Thornton . road , for the purpose of electine delegates to the forthcoming Conference . Mr . John White head , was called tox tho chair ; he read the requisition convening the meeting , and called on Mr . Fletcher ' " to move the
firtt resolution , * ' That four delegates' be elected to represent Bradford in the Conference about to ba holden in Birmingham . " Mr . Huiley seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Shackletcn moved Mr . Smyih as a fit and proper person—seconded by Mr . Walton . Mr . Fletcher proposed Mr . Driver—seconded by Mr . Wilkinson . Mr . House proposed Mr . Hamaiond—seconded by Mr . Hurley . Mr . Hodgfon proposed Mr . Rowutrce—seconded by Mr . Pertnan . Mr . Robert Hammond proposed , Mr . John Arran—seconded by a person in the meeting . One in the meeting proposed Mr . Ciarke—seconded from the meeting . Mr . Ainley proposed Mr . Htnry Hodgson—seconded from the meeting . A voice iiom the meeting
proposed Mr . George Hetcher—seconded from the meeting . Another Mr . Borrows—seconed in the meeting . The Chairman then asked if any one had another candidate to propose , and on receiving no answer , he called on Mr . Smyth , who briefly stated his opinion ? , and how ho would act in tho Conference . Mr . Hurley Paid ho had a few questions to ask the candidates ; first , Will you , if elected , oppose the agitation for the Repeal o < the Corn Law being mixed up with the Suffrage ! Mr . Smyth appealed to his past conduct during his being amongst them as an answer to the question ; he most certainly would from principle . Sfcond , Will yon vote for the Charter , details , an < name , as they stand 1 Answer—I shall in accordance with the conviction on
my mind vote for tbe Charter and name , feeling we cannot afford to pay for ( nor am I desirous but would oppose ) another baptism , the first having cost us much in manufacturing ; I shall , therefore , abide by the name of the Charter ; with respect to the details , if any otber is produced more democratic and more simple , I shall feel it my duty to prefer them , but any thing saoft . of the present , I shall oppose , Mr . Driver was tben called on , who answered similar questions in ihe affirmative . Mr . Hammond was questioned by Mr . Wilkinson—would he stick to the name , and thereby raise a barrier to a union of the working and middle classes on principle 1 Mr . Hammond said , if the principles and name were just , why depart from either the one or thu other 1
He was a Chartist , and wonld recognise no other ii&me . Mr . RowntTee , in answer to questions put , declared against mixing up any other questions with the snffrago , and read from a paper reasons for not TvishiDx to change the name of Complete Suffrage to that of any other . Mr . Arran claimed indulgence from the meeting above the other candidates ; ho was not aware of having to stand before them as candidate for their suffrage . When he came to the meeting , he wished to make an impression on them , as the subject was one of life or death to the movement . He than went on contrasting the principles of Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Sturge , the object both had in view ; while Mr . O'Connor would relieve the people , and increase trade , by
putting them on the land , Mr . Joseph Sturge would give them a repeal of the Corn Laws and Free Trade . Now he ( Mr . ArraD ) very much doubted if even with the Charter he could vote for a repeal of those laws . Mr . Arran was interrupted several times during his address . —Mr . Ciarke said he would not make a speech or detain them ; they all knew he was a Chartist , he would therefore vote for the Charter , details and all . Mr . Hodgson declined to stand . —Mr . Fletcher said ho was there for principle ; deeignatioa 3 or names he gave to the winds . He was no Catholic , he worshipped not a Pope . Suppose a man made him a present of a mill , would he refuso it . because it would not be called a factory 1 He was no O'Brienite , no
S ; nrgeite , no O'Connorite—he was a Chartist . —Mr . Borrows did not appear . —The Chairman then proceeded to take a show of hands for the Candidates . Mr . Smyth was first put to the meeting , when every hand was held up ; Mr . Driver next , and the show was not eo large ; Mr . Hammond next , for whom the show of hands was unanimous . Mr . Rowntree was next put , but for him the show of hands was not bo large as any of the former ; Mr . Arran was next , and the show was equal to that of Mr . RowBtree ; for Mr . Clarke the show was less than any of the former , and for Mr . Fletcher about
ten hands were held up . The Chairman eaid in the case of Mr . Rowntree and Mr . Arran , he could not decide , and he should , therefore , put them again ; when Mr . Arran had the majority . Tho Chairman then declared the election fell on Mr . Smyth , Mr . Driver , Mr . Hammond , and Mr . Arran . Thus has Bradford secured three out-and-out Chartists , viz ., Mr . Smyth , non-elector , member of the N . C . A . ; Mr . Hammond , elector , member of the N . C . A , ; Mr . Arran , non-eleolor , ditto ; Mr . Driver is a member of the N . C . A . and of the Complete Suffrage Association , an elector , is bail for some of our body , and is ready to gi re bail for more when required . '

Tho bravo Chartists , ever ready to do their duty , wtre in attendance at the appointed time . Mr . Falvey occupied an hour in his lecture . This light from the Plague attempted to show the mighty and great advantages that would accrue'from & repeal of rhe Corn Laws . After Mr . Falvey had finished , Mr . Bairstow took him to task about forty minutes , and amid much applause demoii ^ hed
the free trade , cheap bread , and extension of commerce fallacies , and proved that the repeal of the Corn Laws would benefit no class permanently , but the money-monger ? , mortgagees , and the trafficktrs in flesh , blood , and labour . Mr . Falvey attemptec a reply for an equal length of time , saluted frequently by the derisive cheers of ihe working men preswit . Mr . Bairstow again rose and made his second and last reply , and so completely set tho question at rest , that out of a meeting of 1000 persons , many middle men being present , not more than twelve voted for Mr . Falvey .

Nine members were nominated to serve on the General Council , and a Secretary and Treasurer elected . A discussion took place on the position of the Executive , but was ultimately adjourned ; Messrs .

anti-Corn Law meetings and their delegates were instructed to vote in favour of the Chartists attending all publio meetings called for that purpose in their several neighbourhoods Tho meeting then adjourned . The various committees for conducting the preparatory proceedings for electing delegates to the Birmingham Conference are actively at work ; but the amount of funds yet collected is very trifling , arid affords conviction of the utter hopelessnefis of the Chartists receiving pecuniary or other assistance from the middle chases . To this rule ! there are a few honourable exceptions ; but tho experience now gained will teach the Metropolitan Chartists in all future undertakings to rely solely on their own exertions , and to avoid all connection or union with other professing liberal parties , until they are eonvinocd by their conduct that it ia a true , and not a Bham union which they aro desirous of effecting .

ZANDOir , —Dreappul Fihe . —At a late hour on Wednesday night , the vicinities of the Minorjes and Goodmau ' s-fields were thrown into a most painful state of excitement by tbe outbreak of a dreadful fire , accompanied by fearful sacrifice of human life , in Little Prescofct-street , Goodman ' s-yard , Minoriea , The premises in which this deplorable event originated were situated at the west side of the street , within a few yards of the Blackwall railway . They consisted of a dwelling-house , four Btpries high , the property of Mr . Cook , a soap-boiler , in Goodinan ' sfields , who let them out to numerous families to the
number , it was reported , of ni > fewer than twentyfive individuals . The ground floor was tenanted by a green-grocer , named Shackleton ; the first-floor front room by a foreigner ( a manufacturer of Du * ch drops ) ; the third floor'by .. Mrs * Holland and her four daughters ; and the remainder of the rooms by other persons , the names of whom could not be obtained . Shortly after the fire had been somewhat got under , Mr . Braidwoed directed some of his men to discover whether any poreou was nvsshig , and shortly they learned from a poor man named Froudfoot , who tenanted a room on the second floor , that three of his children were not to be found .
He said he had saved hjs wife and two children , but whether any one bad preserved the rest he was unable to say . The poor creature waB running about in all directions in quest of them , » ad appeared almost distraoted . Upon thia information , Mr . Brafdwood ordered two of ; his men to ascend the scaling ladders which had been placed against the walls of the premises , and , if the ruins would permit , to search among them . Atone o ' clock in -the morning two bodies , namely , those of children , were found by Carter and another of the brigade among the rafters of the flooriug , on the second floor , Bhookingly burnt and disfigured . These proved to be those of Troud foot ' s children . Shortly after another t bdy . pf a child was found on the same floor , apparently a girl of about six years of age .

TO THE EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —As one that had nearly become a prey to the parties that distract ( in a measure ) our movement—for between the conflict of certam parties at present , no person will deny that we are in a distracted Btate—I , as an individual , had caught the ferment | the consequenoe of which was , that 1 used certain warm eNpressions in condemnation of your policy and likewise of yeur person ; this was owing to what I thought to be facts that camo to iny knowledge . Since then other things have transpired whioh has caused me to reflect upon my fvrmer thoughts and words concerning this unpleasant affair . I have no hesitation in saying that it would be well
for our cause , if it hadnever known some individuals that at present figure amongst us , as it is evident that Borne are not influenced by principle , but some Binister objeot ia kept in view , in fact , 1 hear almost everyday , that which makos me look upon some men in another light , quite different to that which I used to view them in . I cannot Bay I altogether approve of your proceedings at present ; nor do I approve of the proceedings of the Executive ; but the Executive , in my opinion , is not to blame , inasmuch as they are only the eervanta of the ChaTlist DDblio . therefore the Chartist public had every right
to look after their own work ; but this is our curse . The people are inclined to . trust exclusively to their stewards to do their work honestly , rather than ^^ call them to account .
