up a public meeting on Wednesday evening , to take a poll of ihe votes for each candidate , as they were Hot satisfied with having all their Candidates negatived , as declared by the Chairman on Thursday evening .

We have already stated that we cannot spare room for these documents at length . DTJBLxN . —The cause of liberty ia progressing here ; the worship of mere names is abating . The attachment to sound principle is growing up in its stead . Nothing canbebetter evidence of this than the fact that the deepest interest is now taken "by the working classes in the meetiugs of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association : they attend in great number ? , and even those who are not membtrs ,
and to whom the wholesome truths there spoken are in Borne degree new , behave with a decorum and earnestness which would hare been in vain expected at an earlier period of the Association ' * existence . Great praise is due to the indomitable exertions and patient perseverance of Messrs . O'Higgins , Dy 6 tt , and others , who have so boldly confronted ignorance , prejudice , and persecution . On Sunday last , the following resolution wis brought ' forward by Mr . Patrick O'Higgins . on which a very spirited debate ensued : — Resolved— " That in-order to obtain justice for Ireland and repeal the Union , we , electors of the city of Dublin , whose names are hereunto subscribed , do hereby solemnly and individually declare e » ch for himself and pn his own behalf , that he will not rot © for any candidate for the representation of this city in parliament , who shall decline or refuse to give a pledge , in writing , that he will , support
no administration bat one that will give its avowed and official advocacy to the great and permanent measures contained and set forth in the document entitled the 'People ' s Charter . ' viz : —Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , Abolition of the Property Qualification , Payment of Representatives , and the Repeal of that atrocious measure , the Legislative Union , which is no union except that of abject slavery to tyranny and oppression . " Mr . O'Higgins exhibited several signatures appended to this resolution already , and expressed his full conviction that they could with ease command within their own association foil fifty substantial votes , which would soon make both Whig and Tory faction civil and respectful , inasmuch as that number of electors would be sufficient to turn any election in Dublin . Several speakers addressed the meeting , and the question was adjourned .

SADDLEWORTH . DEATH FROM WANT AND STARVATION . Considerable excitement has been created in the parish of Saddleworth during the last - eight or ten days , owing to the following ciroumatatjeeai—On Friday week as the Rev . Thomas Sturgis Mills , county magistrate , and one of the Deputy Lieutenants for the West Riding of the County of York , was returning from Oldham to his own residence at Dobcross , he was stopped near Waterhead Mill , by some females who informed him that a Lucy Millingwood , an out-door pauper of the township of Spotland , had been delivered of an illegitimate child at the village of Waterhead Mill , and that she was then in dying circumstances owing to neglect and want of the common necessaries of life ; which information , on enquiry , was found to be , too correct ,
and the unfortunate wi-man expired on Sunday morning last . The Rev . Thomas Mills immediately fcave orders for an inquest to be held to enquire into the cause of the unfortunate «* oman ' fl death . Waterhead Mill is a small village on the borQora of the counties of Lancaster and the W ^ -st Riding of Yorkshire , about two miles from Oldham and eighteen from Huddersfield ; a considerable portion of it being in Lancashire , and only a small section in Yorkshire . The unfortunate woman , when living , resided in that pare which is in Yorkshire , fti the division of Qnckmere , in the parish of Saddleworth . Tho inquest was held betore George Dyson , gentleman , coroner for Halifax , and a very respectablo jury , at the house of Sir . Hubert Tweedale , the Gardeners' Arms , Waterhead Mill , on Monday evening last . ;
The first witnefs examined was Thomas Bradshaw , an old man , 77 years of age , father of the deceased . He stated his daughter was delivered on the 1 st day of October ; they had no doctor , but they got a wona » n to attend her at the time of delivery . She only visited her once after . His daughter gut through the trying time as well as could be expected , and for a week seemed to be recovering . After then , sho was attacked with dropsy , and suffered very much . The witness then waited on the relieving officL-r , and begged of him to order a doctor to attend his daughter , but he refcEed . He then wished liim to take her into the worknouso , and this also he refund to do , except they would bring her to the workhouse without any expense
to the town . The overseer gave him a recommendatiou to the dispensary ( at Rochdale ) , but tho medical officers refused to proscribe for her , without reding her . One of them went to the ovtrsecr to see if be would pay them for a medical Visit , but the overseer Tefused to do this , and the officer returned to the witness , aud told him that as the overseer would not pay i ' or a visit they could iipt attend . He said it" his daughter had not some medicine from somewhere , she would die . * The Doctor replied , " SHE MIGHT DIE , FOR IT WAS NOTHING TO HIM 1 ! 1 " Witnoss next aopliedto the Select , Vestry , Cor Board ol Guardians )
then sitting in Roohdalo , telling the state of his daughter , and they gave him TWO SHILLINGS to remove her to the workhouse with . He next applied to the Guardian of hadilleworth , who wrote to the overseer of Spotland , and advised the old man to get a medical certificate , stating the situation cf his daughter . He did so . Mr . Leach , surgeon , granted the required certificate . Hej » resented the same to the overseer , or relieving officer , but Brill was treated with contempt , la answer to questions by tho jury , he stated that they had 4 s . per week allowed from the parish , and had to go to Rochdaie , ( seven miles ) every week , for the same . _ '
Mr . Leach , surgeon was next examined . He Btated that he had called upon the deceased about a mouth after her deliveiy , and gave her some medicine , and that under his treatment she recovered a little . He asked fhe family to get him a parish order , saving he could not continue to attend her without some small remuneration ; they promised to do so , and acquaint him with the result . He did not hear from them again till about ten days before her death , when he was presented with an order from the relieving officer of the parish of Saddleworth to attend her ; he atain attended her and found that she was considerably worse than when he was called in the first time , and in a few days after she was a corpse . Mr . Leach then said , " the house was so bad , so
filthy , so low , and so damp , that 1 think , however medically attended , if she had not bad a nurse to clean away the filth from the floor , and clean her person , she would not have recovered . I think her decease was much accelerated for want of medical attendance . I made a post monem examination of the body ^ and found the liver very much enlarged , and interspersed with tubercles . The right lung was also extensively diseased and interspersed with tubercles . Considerable adhesion had taken ; place against the ribs . The abdomen contained about two gallotiB of water , and the chest about two quarts . I should say the remote causo of death was inflamation of the right lung . The proximate cause , consumption , owing to damp house , bad air , filth , and insufficient nourishment . If she had been in a more
comfortable bed , a good dry house , snd properly attended , death would have been ( most probably ) a considerable time prevented . " Ann Hendrick , sister of deceased , was next examined—I stopped Mr . Mills last Friday ni ^ ht but one , as he was returning from Oldham , described the situation of my sister , and begged ot him to interfere in her behalf . I took the child to its father to try to get some relief from him , but could not succeed . I then sent to Rochdale ; the committee were not sitting at Rochdale ; they were that day at Bacnp . I called on one of the overseers , I do not
know his name , —it is Edmund , I do not know what—and begged of him to take the child into the workhouse . He recommended me to another overseer , a Mr . Whittaker ; but would not bave anything to do with the child . I went to Whittaker ; he also refused to take the child into the workhouse , and I had to bring it home with me again . I went again last Wednesday , aud took the child with me to Mr . Stott , the overseer of Spotland ; Mr . Stott took the child into the workhouse , and gave me a note to Mr . Platt , telling him to treat the case as one of his own parish .
Mr . Wrigley , Chief ConBtable of Saddloworth , sworn , —On Saturday , the 10 th instant , Mr . Mills requested me to wait on Mr . Platt , saying that an application had been made to him respecting a poor woman at Waterhead Mill , said to be dying through neglect , and that I was to say that he ( vlr . Mills ) would remain at homo till five o ' clock , and if he ( Mr . Platt ) would get another magistrate , he would i then take his clerk , and would go to Waterhead Mill , to take the woman ' s deposition . I taw Mr . Platt , and delivered the message ; he did not know whether he could wait on Mr . Mills or not , but would see , saying he had several parties to Bee at home , some by appointments ; that ho had given an order / or a doctor to attend the woman .
James Garlick , constable , Waterhead Mill . —Last Monday , Mr . Mills called upon me , and wished me to see Lucy Millingwood , and report her state to him at Dobcross the day following . I called and foundi her in bed in a very distressed state ; she appeared very dropsical . Her skin seemed ready to burst . The boose floor was in a bad state . I think there was sufficient clothes on the bed to keep her warm . She did not complain of being starved ; the bed clothes seemed tolerably clean . She complained of b » ing short of food ; a child apparently about six
years old , was making some thin porridge or gruel ; but very little of it . I reported to Mr . Mills on Monday morning , the 13 th insianfc . He sont me to Mr . Platt , and told me to say to him that when he sent a message he must attend to it . Mr . PI at * replied he would , so far as he thought right and just . Mr . Platt also ordered me to see four female paupers who live near , and order them to wait in rotation upon deceased , to attend to her want * , and make her as comfortable as they could . They waited on her till she died .
Jas . Stanbfiold , overreerof Quick Mere—I have been at the hou ^ e of deceased once , perhaps three weeks since . She lay in a very miserable state in a dirty , damp place , 1 should say not fit for a dog to be in . 1 told Mr . Plult I thought she was not attended to as she ought to be . This would be about the second instant . Coroner—Did not you do anything for her I : "¦' Overseer—No . Coroner—Why not 1 Overseer—I do not know that I have any pother to act .
Coroner—Not in cases of extreme jsecessityV •'• . ' ¦ Overseeir—No . 1 do not know that I have any power at all to agt even in cases of extreme NICES 5 ITT . Coroner—I now tell you that you have power , and not only so , but you aieresponsible for not exercising that power . Overseer—I have consulted a magistrate upon the subject , and yet I believe that I have not the power to act . Mr . Mills , a magistrate— In Saddloworth we are under a peculiar Act , 3 Geo . IV . And the Act is very dubious upon the bubject . I think the overseers hwiB only power to recommend to the Guardian to relieve , but in this case , on my own authority , I ordered Mr . Stansfield to engage a nurse , and 1 would be responsible .
Overseer—Mr . Mills , last Thursday , ordered me to engage a nurse . Coroner—Did you do so ! Overseer—No . I took no etapB to procure one . Foreman—Mr . Platt had ordered Garlick to procure a nurse at that time , which he had done . , Mr . Stott , overseer of the township of Spotland , sworn—Lucy Millingwood has been % long time a pauper of our township . In AuguBt 1838 , we took her and one child into the workhouse , the child was about three years old , her only child . On the 15 th of May 1840 , she left the Workhouse , we gave her ten EhillingB and allowed her one shilling per week . In October 1840 , we allowed her one shilling and sixpence per week . September 1841 , we allowed her two shillings . In August 1842 , we allowed her two shillings and sixpence ; and on the 11 th of October , four shillings per week . She was receiving pay from leaving . the workhouse till the time of her

Stott—I don ' t know , it is « long way for one thing , and having as much to do as I can , I could not come over myself .
Foreman—If Stott believed the story , he ought either to have cotnu himself to see the woman , or have written to Mr . Platt .

Mr . PJafcf , relieving officer or guardian of SaddJeworthparish , sworn . I first relieved the deceased in February , Ifi 41 , and discontinued in Dec . 1841 . I do nbt remember wliy wo discontinued relieving her . I think abalanc-j was due to us of betwixt three and four poundf . 1-wiote to Siott ; I do not at present remember the ' contents of the letter , but 1 was not authorized to relievo hur again , till a week before sho died . In October last Lucy ' a father came to me ti questing me to write for an advance of one shilling per week of pay . I wrote to Mr . Stott , but did not receive any answer . Old Bradshaw told
mo they were willing to take her into the workhouse . He said she was not fit to be removed , and if she was they would not allow any thing to remove her with . I advised him to take a medical certificate from Mr . Leach , stating her situation ; he said he would . 1 did not hear again from them till he applied for a suspended order ; I told him ho had better wait a little and I would write agaib to Stott , and see if he would hot do something for them . I did write to Stott , and , in reply he authorized me to treat them as one of our own pariah . I did not give any relief ; none was asked .
Mr . Leaoh , rec lied— -I granted a certificate atating deceased was in an unfit state to be removed , but cannot tax ; my memory whether it was in October , or beginning of November . . Mr . Btotfc , recalled—Did you receive a certificate from Mr . Leach , stating that deceased was unfic to be removed to the workhouse ? i Stott—I did . , ¦/ :-Coroner—And what did you then do 1 Stott— -1 laid it before the board , and did not receive any additional orders . " ¦ ' / ' ¦' : ' Coroner—The cuuiftcate was laid before the vestry t - . ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' .. ¦ - . ¦ ' . ¦ ¦¦ ¦ . ; Stott—Yes , we are receiving medical certificates almost every week , abd CANNOT ATTEND TO THEM ALL . Coroner—You receive an order from a doctor and pay no attention to it ? Stott—No .
Coroner—Then allow me to tell you , if this system goes on , you will some day moBt probably find yourselves in a very awkward predicament . It certainly is the worstsystem of relieving that evercame under my notice , ' I have a very extensive district , and sometimes find myself bound to condemn the conduct of pamh officers , but this is one of the : worst oases that ever came before me . I cannot help saying that it is a caso of veky gross neglect . The Jurors , after consulting together for some time , agreed to the following verdict : — " Died by tho visitation of God , accelerated by tho want of earlier medic *! and other attendance , and the want of proper attention and sufficient nourishment ; and the Jury strongly censure the conduct of the Overseers and Officers of the township of Spotland , in not ascertaining tho situation of the deceased , after repeated representations .

LONDON . —Dreadful Fire . —At a late hour on Wednesday night , the vicinities of the Minories and Goodmau ' s-fieldswere thrown into a most painful Btate of excitement by the outbreak of a dreadful fire , accompanied by fearful sacrifice of human life , in Little Prescott-street , Goodmans-yard , Minories . The premises in which this deplorable event originated were situated at the west side of the street , within a few yards of the Blaokwall railway . They consisted of a dwelling-house , four stories high , the property of Mr . Cook , a soap-boiler , in Goodman ' sfields , who let them out to numerous families to the number , it was reported , of no fewer than twentyfive individuals . The ground floor was tenanted by a green-grocer , named Shackieton : the first-floor
front room by a foreigner ( a manufacturer of Dutch drops ); the third floor by Mrs . Holland and her fourdaughters ; 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 disoover whether any person was missing , and shortly they learned from a poor , man named Proudfoot , who tenanted a room on the second floor , that three of hia children were not to be found . He said he had saved his wife and two children , but whether any one had preserved the rest he was unable to say . The poor creature
was running about in all directions in quest of them , and appeared almost distracted . Upon this information , Mr . Braidwopd 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 flooring , on the second floor , shockingly burnt and disfigured . These proved to bo those of Proudfoot ' s children . Shortly after another t ody of a child was fouad on . the same floor , apparently a girl of about six years of age ;

Sumners arc also missing , and great fears are entertained that they too have been burnt to death . The man Younker , in Whose room the fire commenced , haB absconded .

How to Save the Holtdat . —People are just now tantalized with some little speculations about holydays lost and to be won . First Christmas-day falls on a Sunday , and that is clearly a holyday lost . But there is some hope of getting it back by bargain with all the several dispensers of holydays' from the Privy Council to the charity schoolmaster and the master-tradesman . The ease of the work-people is hard ; they look for this chiefest of holidays , sacred to family reunions , as a right—but now it is merged in a common Sundav . It is proposed to give them the Monday instead . They are to have it in the dockyards ; and if it is not the custom in the Government offices generally , it should be for tho sake
of the example . But Government have it in their power to settle the question in a very summary manner . It ia Baid that there is to be a holyday in celebration of the peace with China and a correspondent of The Timet saggests that it should be fixed for the Monday after Christmas-day . That would determine the matter for the present . The question will not recur for eleven years ; by which time , possibly , people . may have learned that holydays among anoyer-worked people do not always hinder business , aud that just as much work may bo got through as the country heeds , though a holyday is not withdrawn on an average every six years . — Spectator ,

BONHitL . —Con . Murray lectured here on Friday to the Chartiats .

LONDON . —St . Pancbas . —This locality met at S 9 , Tottenham Court Road , oa Monday evening , Mr . Lucas in the chair . A deputation attended from the Committee of the Central Hall . Messrs . Ridley , Wheeler , Cowan , and Hogg ably supported the establishment of this undertaking . A quantity of the rules were disposed of , and seTeral shareholders enrolled . Two shares were also taken by the locality , and Mr . Lucas was appointed a member of the Council of the shareholders . Nine members were nominated to serve on the General Council , and a Secretary and Treasurer elected . A discussion took plao on the position of the Executive , bat was ultimately adjourned . Messrs . Polling and Lucas reported from the Metropolitan delegate meeting . A discussion took place on a notice of motion reeardins the Dolicv of Chartiats attending
anti-Corn Law meetings and their delegates were instructed to vote in favour of the Chartists attending all public meetings called for that purpose in their several neighbourhoods . The meeting then adjourued . 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 vary trifling , and affords conviction of the utter hopelessness of the Chartists receiving pecuniary or other assistance from the middle classes . To this rule there are a few honourable exceptions ; but the experience now gained will teach the Metropolitan Chartista in all iuture nndertakingB to rely solely on their own exertions , and to avoid all connection or union with other professing liberal parties , until tjhey are convinced by their conduct that it is a true , and not a sham union which they aro desirous of efiecting .
At a meeting of the City Chartists , held at 55 , Old Bailey , on . Tuesday , it was moved and seconded , " That the Chartists of the City of London express their unabated confidence in Dr . M'poualL for his past services , and we are further of opinion , that the salary allowed by the Organisation . to the members of the Executive , when sitting , should be allowed to hia bereaved wife , ho being an exile for advocating the rights of labour .

Leicester . —The dramatic section of our Shakspercahs presented ^ Douglas" to a public audience , in the amphitheatre , last Tuesday night .

The house was very densely crowded , and the performances bave given pretty general satisfaction . ——On Wednesday night , a public meeting was held in the Amphitheatre , to elect four delegates to serve in the forthcoming Conference at Birmingham .

" But the Shakspereans having long tried , and now deeply proved , the craft and deceit of the Complete Suffrage humbugs , were resolved to defy them , and elected four delegates accordingly .

MUKDER OF A WlFE BY HER HUSBAND— A murder—the invader of a wif # by her own husband—was perpetrated at Glasgow on Sunday afternoon , under the following circumstances : —Between one and two o ' clock , a man , named Charles M'Kay , who was in the employment of a ham-curer , in the city , and who resided in the house of a Mrs . Tinney , or M'Kenzie , in the Old Wynd , disagreed with his wife , aad while
she was standing at the window he seized a hamknife and stabbed her in the left leg , nearl y at tbe groin . The swoanded woman immediatelv fell on the floor and never spoke afierwards . Medical aid was instantly calied in , but it was of no avail ; and , in the meantime , the policeman on the station , having _ heard of the < ie 6 d , came and apprehended M'Kay , who had not , subsequent to the commission of the horrid . deed , made any attempt to escape His ill-fated wife , who was only 27 years of age . died within an hour and a half afterwards ; and when the fatal crisis was announced to the murderer ( who was then in the police office ) he was
seised with the utmost horror and remorse . Both M'Kay and his wife had been out drinking in the morning , and their quarrel , which ended in murder , was about a very trifling circumstance . M'Kay is about the same age as his victim , only 27 years old . So soon as his wife was reported to the authorities to be dead , the body was carried to the police office , where it lies for medical inspection . The knife with which the wound was inflicted was brought away by the policeman . It is a butcher ' s knife much ground down , and very sharp at the point ; and it is evident from the result , that it must have divided a vital vein or artery . M'Kay was to undergo an « x « min ^ . tion before the eberiff oa Monday ,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MOETBEJBN STAB . Sir , —As one that had nearly become a prey to the parties that distract ( in a measure ) our movement—for between the conflict of certainpartiesat present , no person will deny that we are in a distracted state—I , as an individual , had caught the ferment ; the consequence of which was , that I used certain warm expressions in condemnation - . of . your policy and likewise of your person ; this was owing to what I thought to be facts that came to my knowledge . Since then other things have ¦ transpired which has caused me to reflect upon my former thoughts and words concerning this unpleusantaffair . I havu no hesitation in saying that it would be well
for our cause , if it had never known some individuals that at present figure amongst us as it is evident that some are not influenced by principle , but some Binister object is kept in view * in fact , I hear almost every day , that whioh makes me look upon some men in another light , quite different to that which I used to view them in . I cannot say 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 aa they are only the Bervanta of the Chartist ppwio , therefore the Chartist public had every right to look after their own work ; but this is our curse . The people are inclined to trust exelnsivAlv to their
stewards to do their work / tones / ty , rather than call them to account . I am only what may be termed an obsour © individual , nevertheless I have been called upon to take a part in the movement , which part I have endeavoured to fulfil ; it is likewise a disinterested part , and I am determined to act always in an open , disinterested manner , in my advocacy , the principles for which 1 shall always feel the most lively interest . Truating that you will pardon the rashnesss of which I have been guilty , and be assured that I am determined to watch over the humbugs , ' I remain yonrsy Fraternally , ' B . Bdttbhlt ,
Sub-Secretary to the N . C . A ., Swan Coppice . Halifax , Back Albion-street , Deoember 14 th , 1842 P . S . —I hsve no ambition to gratify , neither do I wish to appear before the public .
