      there never was an event in this country looked for with equal anxiety to that by which the termination of the approaching prosecations will be marked . Every man -will then be placed in his true colours before the public , as every word spoken by every prisoner Bhall be published , be the expence what it may . On my soul and my honour , it is my firm conviction , that had not the Chartist body turned the

      xjeagne outbreak to a move for the Charter , Lanca shire would have been in flames , and all England in revolution : that is , if the current had been directed to the Repeal point , the League would have forced the people into conflict with the troops . We stepped in , and saved the nation : and prosecution is to be our reward 1 -while the real offenders are allowed to prosecute their schema in a new and safer shape No matter :

      Hurrah for the Charter ! and No Surrender ! I am , my fnends , Yonr faithful friend , Phaegus O'CoMnra . P . S . —By this day week I hope to be able to make a good return of funds received for the Defence . Join no party ? stick tegether J and right must pre vail . *** I cannot conclude without stating that our indefatigable solicitor and friend , Mr . Roberts , is unceasing in his exertions . I see him almost daily , and am well pleased with his mode of transacting business .

      These trials have been hastened on by a month , no donbt in ihe hope of preventing the oonntry from having sufficient time to furnish the means of defence . One more word I have to say . 3 t is this . We must not , as in 1839-40 , have separate defence funds ; we must have one General Defence Fund . The evil result of separate local defence funds i 3 thiB : —In general more money is raised for an individual than is necessary ; while those who subscribe to that fund imagine that they relieve the general fund ; but it is no snch thing . One Defence Fund , and thai a general one , w as much as the country can sustain . F . O'C .

      THE POLITICAL VICTIMS AND LORD ABINGER . TO THE EDITOa OF THI NOBTHEBN STAB . Sib ., —You will confer a favour upon the " General Political Yictim and Support Fund Committee , " nominated by the Great Metropolitan Meeting , held some time back , at the Crown and Anchor , Strand , by publishing the subjoined balance sheet in the Northern Star . Now that the public excitement consequent upon tbe proceedings ef the recent Conference has subsided , the committee are resolved to devote their undivided attention to the important duties contemplated by their appointment . To this end arrangements will be immediately made for augmenting the fund required for tbe

      aeTence ortfie pofflsai rTcttnu , and the support of tbo families of the incarcerated . Nor is our modern Jeffries , Abinger , forgotten ; nor is the petition , calling for an inquiry into tbe proceedings of the special commission , and of Lord Abinger in particular , adopted by the immense meeting above referred to , the committee having already procured similar petitions from most of the metropolitan districts . They also trust that theii provincial friends will not delay an hour in following tbe like conrse . Mr . Duncombe will propose his motion in tbe House of Commons on Tbursday evening ntjtt , the 19 th inst , and it will augur badly for tbe justice and humanity of tke country , if the table of the House is not covered , on that occasion , by petitions expressive of tbe universal execration in which Abioger is held .

      I may just add , that the signature of the chairman of the meeting from which the petition emanates will be sufficient ; and tbe petition itself can bo transmitted , per post , to the member selected . to present it Yours respectfully , J . Harris , Sec .

      NEWCASTXE . —a . public meeting of the pitmen of the Tyne and Wear was held at Scaffold Mill , on Saturday last , and considering the state of the weather , which Was very stormy , there was » very good meeting , some having come forty miles to attend . Soon after two o ' clock , a gentleman , whose name we could not learn , waa unanimously elected to preside , who opened ; the proceedings of the day in a very able address , urging , the necessity of a unity of action on the part of the sons of labour , before they could expect to get any thing ia the shape of a fair remuneration for their labour , or be able to stand out against the innumerable encroachments which tbe tyrannical drones are daily inflicting upon them , and sat down by introducing to the meeting Mr . Swallow .

      Delegate from Wakefield , wbo was received with warm marks of approbation . Mr . S entered into a minute detail of the encroachments which , the master olass made npon the miners throughout Britain , and said he was happy to show that , the miners were alive to their own interest , which was evinced by the reception he met with in the various districts he had visited since their last public meeting , and the number of names enrolled in the Miners' Pinlanthropical Society . The following resolutions were then unanimously agreed to : — " That it is thfi opinion of this meeting , that the various speakers confine themselves as much as possible to the grievances that exist between us , tbe pitmen , and bur masters . " " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the only remedy for

      our present distrof e is a cordial union of out order throughout itne ^ ntiited' -kingdom . * t ^ 'VThat . there be a meeting" of two delegates from each colliery immediately after the conclusion of this meeting . " " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that our friend from Wakefield ought to be requested to remain amongst us another fortnight , for the purpose of assisting us in enrolling members and other business connected with the society . " " That Benjamin Embleton be recommeudedjby the Executive to assist Mr . Swallow iu his mission on the Tyne and Wear , for the next fortnight , and that he be recommended as a regular lecturer , " Several of the brawny sons of toil addressed the meeting in a style of reasoning and eloquence that would have done houour to the rulers of our nation . A delegate meeting was held

      immediately after the public meeting , at which delegates from the fo lowing places wore present : — Quarrington Hill , Cassop , West Moor , Cranalington , beaton Delavill , Souhili , Lawson Main , Joint Stock , Coxhoe , East Holy well . West Cramlington , Thornley , St . Lawrence , Haswell , Wingate , &c , and the following resolutions were agreed to ¦ : —* ' That Mr . D . Swallow be paid all necessary expences by each locality he may visit , and that Mr . 13 . Embietou be allowed the same by such places as ho may visit . " 14 That a meeting of delegates be held at the house of Mr . Thomas Huichinson , the Free Masons Arms , Monkwearmouth , Sundorland , on Saturday the 18 th of February , when delegates from each colliery on the Tyne and the Wear are respectfully requested to attend .

      Mr . Kidd delivered a lecture m thj Chartist Hall , on Sunday eveniBg , upon the Queen ' s Speech and Lord Courtnoy ' s Address . He commenced by tracing the origin of Kings , which ho did ia a very able manner . He then reviewed Lord Courtney s speech , pointed out its many inconsistencies , and proved it to be a batch of sheer nonsense , such as is generally vended by his class . Mr . K . then urged upon his auditory , the necessity of uniting for the acquirement of our inherent rights , by enrolling their names as members of the National Charter Association , being the only agitation now extaut , that is calculated to benefit the working class .

      THE POOR LAW GUARDIANS OF SHEFFIELD . \ TO THE EDITOB OF THE NOBTHERK STAR . Sir , —I have had placed in my hands a circular addressed by the Guardians of the Sheffield Union to the manufacturers of the town . I give it verbatim . : — : " SHEFFIELD UNION . : " GiNTLF . MKN—Notwithstanding the [ precautionary measures adopted by the Poor Law Guardians , it is beiiered that a considerable number of the ablebodied poor might , at this time , obtain employment

      sufficient to render parochial assistance unnecessary To relieve the parish funds as much as possible , the master manufacturers are recommended to divide their wort wherever it is practicable , bo as to employ the greatest number of hands ; land in every case where employment is refused under any pretext whatever , a » d there is reason to suppose the person bo refusing it receiving , or intends to apply for relief , the manufacturers are respectfully requested to give immediate information to the Guardians , the Relieving Officers of tha Union , or myself . " I am , gentlemen , "Your most obedient servant .

      " GEO . CROSLAND . " Sheffield Vestry Office , " Jany . 10 th , 1843 . " Now , Sir , justice to the working men against whom this circular is directed , demands that it should be dragged into the light , and its authors held up to the deserved censure of all honest men . The meaning of the present document is this , —where a manufacturer is employing one man at the present time to whom he is paying 20- < . per week , he is recommended to divide thac man ' s work with another so as to give both half work and half wages . The men who are getting J 83 . per week to be reduced to 9 s . —those getting 16 s . to be reduced to 83 . — those getting 12 * ., to be reduced to 6 s . —

      those getting 10 a . to be reduced to 5 s , —those getting eight shillings to be reduced to four shillings , thus bringing the employed operatives to work for a lees remuneration than even parish pay . Taat such is the object is evidenced by the request made that wherever a man refuses to work at the terms offered by the employer , that the latter will jgive information to the Guardians , so that when , the working man applies for relief it will be refused , and if receiving relief it may be stopped , in either ease driving him to submit to the grinding terms and starve-gufc wages offered by the manufacturer , the pretext for this is , chat the rates may be saved * . As a rate-payer I protest against this ; I find as much difficulty to pay my rates as most

      persons , but no difficulties of my own shall induce me to oonnive at the rascally Bystera sought to be established by tbe Guardians , a systom as short-sighted and foolish as it is dishonest and unjust . Reduce the working men , wbo are at the present Lime struggling to keep off the parish books —bring all down to one dead level of pauperism and misery , and make what regulations j they may , no matter how tyrannical , howBmngent , ihe Guardians will find themselves unable , for any length of time , to etave off tho certain results , viz . the pauperization of the rate-payers themselves . If the Guardians are really desirous of saving the rates let them begin their reforms where they are needed ; let them get rid of some of their puppyish officials , and reduce the wages of the others . If division of labour is to be

      the order of the day , let me inform the Guardians that in the circle of my acquaintance with the unfortunate recipients of parish relief , I could find two men capable of performing the dutiesjof Mr . Crosland , betweeu whom the work of that gentleman might be divided , and who would be glad to do the work ( both of them ) for half his pay ; that would be one way of saving the rates . But the saving of the rates is not the object ; in ] my opinion the object is , to bring down the wages of the Sheffield workers to the level of Lancashire and Cumberland wtavers , and that the Guarding are but tools of themanuf cturers in this conspiracy . If I am wrong lot the manufacturers ptove I am so ; let them call a meeting of tbe rate-payers and renounce and denounce the above document .

      Indeed a meeting of the rate-payers is much needed , not oniy for the consideration of the above circular , but also other matters connected wit . i the Tery existence of the poor ; the scale of relief has of late been considerably reduced , while the amount ofvj relief is but nominal ; the soup , jl am assured by' those who axe bo unfortunate ) as to be uuder tho necessity of consuming it ia little betar than ditch-water , while the bread ( often very bad ) is worth nothing near the value placed upon it by tbe Guardians . I hope there will be found a sufficient number of public tpirited men amoiiA' th « rate-payers to take these matters up and see that , justice is aone 10 the poor , more especially by calling the Guardians to account : for the above rascally circular , to which I request tho 6 eriou ? attention of the rate-payers . ] George Jvuiy Harkey . Sheffield , Feb . 6 , 1843 .

      ANOTHER GLORIOUS DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE . The League , roused by tbe taunts of Mr . Ferrand , in the House of Commons , have at length abandoned their ticket meetings . A public lecture wa ? announced to be delivered on Wednesday ovoning , by Mr . Falvt-y (» pwthe ; r ^ reat Mun in London ) at the Bhck Ssvan , IBrown'e-laue , Spiialfieids ; and the Committee having boasted that they dared rely on his abilities to dineuss the questiou with tho Chartists , a message was Beut to Mr . Wheeler , who promptly attended . ;

      The lecture was announced to take jplace at seven o ' clock ; and Bhortly after that period a gendeman quietiy took possession of the chair . This no ; l > ciii ^ tne Cftartist system of doing business , Mr . Drakewas proposed by Mr . Man ; z , and moved into the chair by an immense majority . A Bcene of great , confusion followed , —the League party refusiug to allow a chairman , and demanding that tbe lecturer should proceed . Mr . Wheeler challenged Mr . Falvey to a discussion at the close of his lecture , proyid-jd he would limit hi 9 lecture to a reasonable period . This lifter the Committee would not allow Mr . Falvey to accept , but ultimately , seeing they could get no better terms , Mr . Falvey a ^ ieed to base a discussion , he having » ho first halt hour , and than his opponent and himself alternately a , quarter of an hour each . ;

      Considerable confusion took place in tho election of a Chairman , the . object of the League party being evidently to waste time , but it was ultimately decided that Mr . Drake should be Chairman for Mr . Wheeler , and Mr . Pollock for Mr . Falvey . Order being obtained , T Mr . Falvey occupied his half hour with the usual tirade of the Cora Law pirty , that cheap bread would enable our manufacturers to compete with the foreigner , that this would increase employment , and that the rate of wages depending upon the demand and supply in the labour market , a repeal would inevitably cause a rise in the price of wages ; he was a disci , le of Hunt , and he demanded I to know why the ChartUts did not follow in thej steps of Mr . Hunt , whose fir 6 t motion in the House of Commous was for a repeal of the Cora Laws f It was absurd to oppose toe CornJLaws on the ground that they

      Untitled Article

      jv ^ -- . ^^ C 4 were sot suitable under present oir 6 ni&ftt&r >* es ; f they repealed those laws they would change 4 h 6 circumstances . ¦ ' Mr . Wheeler , in reply , demanded of Mr . Falvey , to explain how the working classes being fed with cheaper food , would enable the manufacturer to compete with the foreigner , unless he made a reduction in their wages ; and whether the rise in the wages of the artisan , consequent upon the repeal of the corn lawa , would enable him to make cheaper goods , which was the only means by whioh he could compete with the foreign manufacturer . The faiJaoy

      of an increase of wages was a mere blind to gull the working classes ; the only object the manufacturer had in view was to get an increase of trade in order to give an inoreased play to bis machinery . Already had they ground down the wages of the working man to the starvation-point ; they had superseded ttra labour of the father by the labonr of the child . And now having overstocked every market with their machine-made goods , they were brought to a standstill , and it now depended upon the condaos of tha Chartists whether they should start with renewed vigour in their career of avarice , ot whether they should be forced to adopt a more beneficial line of policy . He could not conceive of Free Trade in

      relation to the circumstanc ! s of this country . Free Trade and a National Debt of 800 , 000 , 000 were two antagonistic elements , which would never coalesce . Free Trade and an expensive army and navy were as opposed to each other aa light to darkness , and there was no affinity between free trade and a gormandizing State Church . But when the Charter should have abolished these and other evils , if we were not content with our condition , if we wished again to run the race of avarice and competition ; then we should start oa fair terms , for the monster of class-legtsla ion which now grinds us to the earth would be banished to the dark realms of despotic power , and free trade would no longer be the dream of a theorist , but a principle capable of

      being put into actual and beneficial operation—( hear ) Mr . Falvev , in reply , acknowledged that the principle of protection , which Mr . Wheeler had advocated , would be good , if we could produce food sufficient for our consumption , or if we could find employment for our own artisans ; but Britain exported fifty , millions worth of manufactured goods ; and did his opponent wish to deprive them of that quantity of employment % He then represented that only about one and a half million of souk depended upon agriculture for a subsistence , while the rest of our population were dependent upon our commercial prosperity ; his opponent wished to throw dusk in their eyes by talking of an abstract theory ; be could not understand an abstract theory any more than he could an abstract dinner .

      Mr . Wheeler did not know whether his opponent meant the " Devil ' s Dust , " to make whioh cheaper they were so anxious to repeal the Corn Laws , but he felt assured that if Mr . Falvey oould not understand an abstract dinner , that his employers had abstracted the dinners from many a starving operative's table . Mr . Wheeler then proved that Britain neod not depend on foreign lands for food , and that wich a good home consumption we might do without that foreign trade of which his opponent so much boasted . He then proved that free trado principles had produced ruin to the silkweavers , glovers , shoemakers , lacemakers , and other trades , and asked whether Mr . Falvey was anxious to add the 6 . 300 , 000 strictlv aud

      positively dependent upon agriculture to this list , and concluded by stating that if the Corn Law Repealers were wise far-seeing men ; if thsy were anxious for a measure of permanent good , and not a mere measure of expediency , liable to b < s repealed at . any ensuing session of Parliament ; they would act honestly and join the Cnartist body . But , if their object was only agitation , if they only wanted increased trade to give increased play to their machinery , if they wanted to have another campaign similar to that of August last , they would persist in

      their present course ; but , though by aid of their ill got wealth they might gull those who were ignorant enough to be their dupes , they would never obtain their ends . The masses had planted the standard of tne Charter , they had stood by it through trouble and persecution , they had braved the malice of both Whig and Tory , and now , when their principles were in the ascendant ; now , when they were rendered sacred by the sigh of the exile and the blood of tbe martyr ; now , of all others , was not a time when they should desert their principles and become the tail of the League ( great cheering ) .

      Mr . Falvey denied Mr . Wheeler's statement regarding there being 6 , 300 , 000 agriculturists , and having borrowed the " Companion" from which Mr . W . quoted it , attempted to read the table falsely . Mr . Wheeler protested against thia and demanded that Mr . Falvcy's Chairman should read it ; and this being acceded to , Mr . W . ' a statement was found to be correct , and Mr . Falvey retreated from the meeting amidst the hisses of the Chartists and the silent contempt of many of his own party . Mr . Grew moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Morris , and carried unanimously : —

      That this meeting consider that a repeal of the Corn Laws would bs an injury to the working classes unless accompanied by the measure of political power contained in the People ' s Charter . ' * This is considered" quliTi iu B ^ einj ^ tn-TfliiwuHj * tropolis , it being the first time that an accredited agent of the League has ever accepted of a challenge to public discussion , and notwithstanding a messenger was sent to another Corn Law meeting at the Graven Morris , and procured a reinforcement from there , and a host of men being forced to attend by their employers , truth was completely victorious over sophistry . _ . . ^

      IO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . j Sib , —I hope you will favour me by nserting the f » w following lines ;—I find in the Star of the 14 th ultimo , that tbe Scottish delegate , a fortnight previous , held a meeting in the Mechanics' Institution , Birmingham , passing s resolution for the refunding of Mr . Ross' debts , by recommending the " setting up of social meetings , or any other means that may be deemed necessary , " also " that Mr . Rasa be requested to prose ' sate agents . " To the first quotation , then—The Chartists of Kolso , in September last , contributed the sum of eight shillings and Bixpence to assist in the defraying ; of Mr . Ross ' s

      debt . At their request I remitted the sum by post office order the following day , desiring-him to acknowledge the receipt of it as soon as convenient , to satisfy them . I waited for weeks but ia j vain . I then wrote to the Editor of the Dundee Herald , with the same desire , that Mr . Ross might ' get a glance at it , the editor assured me he ( Mr . Ross ) would get it . I have received no answer yet . If this [ is the manner in which Mr . Koss acknowledges a sum of money from his Chartist friends , I think he gives them little encouragement to co-operate with others elsewhere , in the resolution proposed . To the second quotation , I would briefly say , that it would be wasting good money on bad to prosecute tbe Kelso agent for his pounds .

      He has given up a number of Cicidars , and were they turned into money , with any additional contribution , it would realise anotker equal mm of money , but frstti the careless manner in which we have been used , there ia ao intention at present to try . < I am , sir , Yours , < fec ., Adah Wright , Horse Market , Kelso .

      _ TO THE OLD AND EXPERIENCED NORTH MIDLAND ENGINE MEN . Mt Dear Friends— " There is a tide in human life , when seized ut the flow , leads to fortune" ; that tide is now flawing upon you ,-and if you suffer it to ebb , or to elude your grasp , then the remainder of your lives will deservedly abound in rocks , shoals and quicksands . I will take a ^ retrospective vie w of the past , and then proceed to your present and future prospects . Tbe application of steam to locomotive purposes may be s » id to have created you as a body of men—it has and will continue to extend to an almost unlimited extent It is very far from being improbable that we may live to sea the Lord Mayor's Show , in London , celebrated with the carriages drawn byhandsome locomotives , or the Great Si Leger Stakes contested for by steam . Indeed , an age may come when the genus of horses will be extiact—having no existence but in memory , —s » wonderful are the effects of science !

      It followu ihat your body will vastly increase in numbers ; acd though that would have an injurious tffiQfc with oifj&r trades , it will benefit * you , if you use the means to obtain the end . True jou are now suffering the ordeal . Ntiw is the commencement of the struggle . Strong might is armed ngainat weak right : and who shall gain Vha Victory ? You are now depend , nt on voluntary contributions for subsistence . You are suffering privatiob , with your families , because tha contributions have been eo very limited , and the cxpensfcs ho gTeat .

      Does not this pro ^ t : necessity an organisation amongst you ? You have power , but that power wants concentration—you huve means , but those means are bsattared , and irregular—you have numbers , but you lack the means of communication with each other . AU these things must be remedied , or you never can hope to make a successful anil triumphant stmd against your enemies You should establish an order similar to OJ i Fallows , or Foresters—you should have a committee of scrutineers ia each lodge , and every candidate shou . d undergo at their hands a searching examination ; and should they Had him in the possession of sufficient abilities for the important niiuaiioi . of enginetnan , he should receive from them a ct rtiiiov-o to tliat effect , for which a small prom ; un ; stiuuM be paid by the recipient . This would be a sot * , of licuuse . It would be an honour and au
