TSL&SCBSSTSR . —Cabpjesiebs' Hail . —A discnBsion npon the proprietj of amalgamating the land question with the agitation for the Charter took place in the large ante-room of the above Ball , on -Sunday afternoon last- Thea . ttendance was numerous and respectable , and the whole easiness was conducted with the . greatest harmony , Several persons having expressed their opinions , the snbjecfc was adjourned for farther discussion on Sunday next , the chair to be taken at half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon . On the ztekikg of the samed&y , the large Hall was densely crowded in every part by a highlyrespectable audience . The proceedings commenced by onr numerous and efficient choir singing a Chartist Hymn : after which , Mr , O'Higgins ' s letters to
Lord Eliot Trere read from the Star , Daring tb . 6 reading the most breathless attention pervaded the fast assembly , only interrupted by expressions of the deepest sympathy for a people subjected to the unmerited persecution and heartless cruelty so vividly pourtrayed by Mr- O'Higgins . The Chairman then introduced Mr . James Leach , who was received with every possible mark of respect . Mr . Leach commenced by thanking his audience fox tie kind reception he always met when addressing his Manchester friends , and proceeded , in a style peculiarly his 1 own , to expose the consummate h ypocrisy of the men who , although they call themselves anti-monopolists , and make great pretensions to philanthropy , are the greatest enemies against which the working classes
hare to contend . He gave a description of the many stratagems made use of to effect reductions in the prioe-of labour ; and shewed , by arguments the most clear send convincing , that nothing short of the Charter would enable the toiling millions to effectually resist further encroachments upon their only property . He concluded with a powerful appeal to his bearers to enrol themselvea as members of the National Charter Association , and thereby prove thefif love for those sacred principles of whici be was the humble advocate . Mr . Leach sat down amidst long continued plaudits . We feel prond in having to state that the appeal made by Mr . Leach was noi made in vain , for at the close of the lecture twentysix persons joined the Association .
OfESR DABWEN . —Camp Meeting at Bcix Bjll . —On Sunday last , the Chartists of Blackburn and Bolion held a camp meeting at this place ; and , notwithstanding the day was very unfavourable , the meeting was a bumper . It had been previonBly arranged that the Bolton friends should hold a meeting at the village oJ Tnrton , on their way , at eleven o'clock in the forenoon ; after which ibey would move in a body forward to BnH HilL Bnt owing totherery heavy rain , it was found impossible to hold the meeting . The speakers were therefore compelled to put up at the Globe Inn until it was time to proceed on their journey to meet the Bl&ckbnrn friends . About one o ' clock , Sol began to show Ins face , giving promise of a fine afternoon . The
people , therefore , began to prepare for the TOad , all their proceedings bjeing narrowly watched by police in plain clothes . 'All things being ready , and hundreds of people waiting to see them start , Mr . Dixon jumped into a vehicle , and addressed the assembly for * about half an hoar , and was listened to ¦ wi th the greatest attention , with the exception of a little interruption from a drunken farmer , who resides at Turtpn Tower , and who had been boasting that he was rhe chief constable of Turton . One of the inspeclcjs of lhe police told him that if he did not behave himself , he would be under the necessity of having Mm loeked up . This bad tbe effect of making the man , who an hour before was swaggering that he was the master of all the police , slink away ,
stripped of all his pretended authority . Mr . Dixen told them as the wet had prevented them from holding their intended meeting , he would , if it was fine when he returned in the evening , address them npon the all-important subject of Chartism and its objects . Having armed at Bull-hill , it was a pi . asing sight to see tae hardy sons of toil wending their way up the vaUies and over the hills to the appointed spot were the meeting was to be holden , which was marked out by a flag fluttering in the breezB . The -people were not a little amused to see the stir amongst tbe peace-preservera . Police inspectors driving about in gigs , grring their instructions to the
privates , who were &il in plain clothes , except one who drove one of the gigs . In fact it appeared that they -were afraid that the Chartists were going 10 take the mountain , called Black Hill , away on their backs : for one of the county magistrates hud demeaned hlmstlf by coming in the character of a SPY upon otter men ' s actions , beisg DEissED vr is the gaeb of a brobes iwwjf dhoter . Mr . Walsh , from Blatkbara , was unanimously called to the chair , and he opened the meeting by giving out tn appropriate hymn , which was sung in grand style . After ibis he addressed them for a short time and then introduced Mr .
Miekle , from Blackburn , who addressed them upon the necessity of Organization , and the inculcating the principle of brotherly kindness amongst each other . He also told the meeting that it was necessary to have an Executive as a goreroing head ; but unless they attended to the Organization of their various localities , it would all be to no use . Mr . Miekle concluded with an earnest appeal to them to bestir themselves in earnest in the great work of a nation ' s freedom . The chairman then introduced Mr . Dixon ' , from Manchester , who said , when he looked upon that vast assembly , be conld not for one moment believe that they were all enrolled Chartists , In this and all other mixed assemblies , there were persons of different opinions , and parties
who came for different objects . Some might come ont of curiosity , and some to ridicule ; whilst others might come for tbe more manly purpose of hearing what Chartism was , and thus judge for themselves ; ont there were others who came for none of these purposes , bnt to watch the speaker ; and , if in the heat of . the moment he should drop an unguarded word , to catch that and take it to their employers to see if they conld make " sedition" of it . He { Mr . Dixon ) was glad to see men of this description on hisrign ~ t and on his left ; and also one for his footman— ( Ianghter ) . He hoped that they wonld take heed to what he said , and giro a correct account to those that Bent them . He was glad to see them there ; but he must say that he would rather have seen them in their own clothe ^ than in the garb of spies . He would really assure
them imregh , thit the Chartists did cot fear spies . Their actions were ail above board , and therefore , so far as they were concerned , the spy system was useless . 33 nt as they were there , and being the guardians of the public peace , be hoped that they would neither break it themselves , nor allow others to do so . Mr- D . then went into an explanation of the principles and objects of the Chartists , and addressed the people for near two hours . He concluded by calling upon the people to commence doing their own work , or it wonld never be done . The Chairman gave ont another hymn , and the meeting separated . When the Bolton ChartistB entered Turton on iheir way back , the people were awaiting their arrival . Mr- Dixon addressed them , according to promise . The friends arrived back to Bolton be . wixi eight and nine o'clock m the evening , highly delighted with their day ' s pleasure .
Brighton , Sussex . —A meeting was holden at the Cap of liberty , Portland-street , on the 30 th nit ., Mr . Piest in the chair . Proposed by Mr . Page , seconded by Mr . Williams , " That the members of the Conneil of tbe National Charter Association residing in Brighton , approve of the suggestion in ihe Star foi appointing a Committee pro lem-, at Manchester , lor the Victim Fund ; and ibat the said Committee should be empowered to receive and disburse all monies in hand ; and we recommend that lie "Pletim Pond be equally distributed amongst the sufferers in the Chartist cause—such distribution being regelated according jo the number of famflj and actual wants in each case . As soon as we know that the committee is appointed , we will transmit a contribution forthwith . "—Carried ananimonslv .

Should there be more than one nominated , a ballot to take place in each locality of the district ; and the man having the greatest number of votes to be brought forward at a public meeting convened for the purpose to be ejected as the representative of the district . " " That , in our opinion , it is necessary that our Chartist brethren in Manchester should immediately appoint a Committee pro tern ., for thp . distribution of the funds in hand for the
support of Chartist victims ; and that this district place implicit confidence in them , for the just distribution of the same ; and . this meeting pledges itself to use all the means in its power , to raise as much of tbe needful as possible for the just discharge of the duties , devolving upon ua , namely , the support of our suffering friends . " ; NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kydd lectured in the Chartists' Hall , on Sunday evening , " on the existing government , and the various suggestions of political economists to remove the existing distress . " He contended that no substantial benefit would accrue to the people without a governmental change . Thfl Charter Suffrage would empower the people to redress their own grievances ^ and without that , he believed , that the condition of the whole industrious classes would never be what it ought He likewise advanced many able arguments in defence of his position . Mr . K . will lecture again in the same p l ace , on Sunday evening next , at seven o ' clock .
: HALSHAW MOOR . —Mr . William Dixon delivered a lectors to the Chartists of this place on Friday last . The audience was large , respectable , and attentive , much more so than usual .

There werei however , three of tbe police present , taking notice of the proceedings . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Mills , Butterworth , and Haigh , -who [ forcibly expounded the principles of Chartism , and save the police to understand that their presence was Jsot necessary to maintain the peace , for Chartists sever broke it .
CARLISUS . —Meetin * of ; the Council op the Chartist Association . —On Sunday evening last a meeting of tbe above named body took place at their room , No . 6 , John Street , Caldewgate ; Mr . Robert Graham in the chair . After some preliminary business iras disposed of , the members of the Conneil took up the subject of the Yictim Pund | the necessity of which was warmly advocated ; after which the following reBOlotion was moved by Mr . John G-ilbertson , and seconded by Mr . John Me'Quire , and carried unanimously : — " , That a collection be eatered into , on Saturday evening , August 12 tb , in aid of the Victim Fund , and that the money subscribed for that purpose be placed in the hands of the Treasurer , and be sent off from time to time , or as the General Victim Fund may require . "
This is astsp in tbe right direction , which would have been taken much sooner by the people , had they really known the absolute necessity off it . Had a plan , which we laid down many months ago , been laid before Mr . O'Connor and others at Lancaster , as it ought to have been , we have evtry reason to believe , that long ere this a -well-managed Victim Fand wonld have been in operation . What was our plan ? It was this . That the Chartist Councils in every locality , where there were victims , make a regular and faithful return of the nnuber , giving their names , their wives , ( if any ) and the number of their families ; also a full and particular statement of the circumstances of the various families , and to -wast extent they ought to be assisted . This return vre proposed having signed by tbe chairman and
Secretary of each A » oci » tion , and sent to the Central Committee , who would see it ; their duty to make a faithful record of all the returns made to them . Being thus in possession of accurate Information , the Central Committee wonld see tbe necessity of publishing ia the columns of tbe Northern Star , Ja fnll account of all the cases , the extent of their necessities , and the amount likely to be required iy the Committee , to meet those necessities in such a way aB to save all parties involved from Buffering any thing like want This must now be done without delay , and done too , in that * ffoctual way which win secure to the Committee in Manchester , tbe
Bieaua of acting with vigour and effect The Wife ana family of no good honest Chartist should be allowed to suffer ; more especially when he hinuelf is suffering the worst of treatment in some cold and humid celL No ; every thing should be done to afford him comfort and consolation , by endeavouring to dispel the cbeerleBS gloom of his dangeon and to . calm the perturbation of bis tronbled mind , by affording Ihat support which htB circumstances so imperiously demands . Let htm see that these who have hitterto received support and succour from him , be not allowed to pine in want and misery , and become tbe prey of tbe cold-blooded master in a Bastile . where
" Smiles are scarce as cooling wells Upon the arid wild 1 Where frowns are withering as the " hells " Are to the factory ' child .

Mr . Colquhouu appealed , to their more fortunate friends , not to takeadvanta ^ of the penny charge , but to come forward in a spirit worthy of the cause in which they were engaged .

ordinary business being disposed of , Mr . James Adams introduced the subject of Mr .

Lord Casipbell said it was a breach of the privileges of the House ; and he doubted whether Lord Brougham could give notice to bring thg matter before the House next session . He thought they must deal with it then . Lord Broogham said he would put that aside . He should proceed at law aud prosecute , and they should then see whether the law had any protection to afford the Members of Parliament .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday The adjourned debate on the Irish Church was resumed by , Mr . Tbe : lawney , who advised the House to take into its deliberate consideration , that they must either abolish the Established Churoh in Ireland , or submit 10 the alternative of civil war . Sir R . H . I nous followed , criticising Mr . Ward ' s plan for redistributing the revenues of the Irish establishment . The member for Sheffield , though , belonging to the established Churoh in England , would coolly rob the sister Church of 17 s . 6 d . out of every pound sterling of her income—Would put a halter round her neck , with the other end of the rope
in the hands of her bitterest enemies , and drag her to dishonour and destruction . The Earl of Listowel warmly and emphatically condemned the past policy of England towards Ireland , the blame of which be did not wish to throw on any existing party , but which now required to be dealt with vigorously and impartially , if we wished to retain the affections of the people , or to preserve the union . Lord Bernard contended for the apoatolicity of the Church of England in Ireland , which he supported , not because it was the Church of the majority of the empire , but because it wets essential to the welfare of a Protestant state to maintain the ascendancy of the Protestann Church . '
Mr . Cochkane said , that the maintenance of the Union was involved iu that of the Churoh . Mr . ViiiLiers Stuart contended that the question of the Established Church in Ireland was not one of religion but of properly—not of faith but of money . Mr . Hardy , considering that the primary function of the established Church in Ireland was to preach the Gospel , defended it on scriptural grounds . While he was speaking , notice was taken that there wore not forty members present , which proving to be the case , the House adjourned at eight o ' clock .
TBVBSDA 7 , AVO . A A long conversation ensued on tbe "counting out ' of the House the night before . When it appeared that the cause was the non-attendance of tbe " liberal ' English and Irish Members . A conversation also ensued on the Scotch Church Bill , and then some unimportant business followed .

"Rebecca" still continues at work . Toll-gafea disappear as if by magic . The troops are harrassed beyond measure ; but they always happen to be just where they are not wanted ! and the parties they are out in quest of always appear upon the spot just vacated by tne soldiery . Tbe parties who were apprehended , as announced in our last , have all been holden t& bail . _ Tho main charge that seems to be against them is that of assaulting Captain Napier , the officer . As for tho •? information" said to have been given by a
" Rebeccaitft" traitor , it is held not to be worth one pin . His wife says he was in bed with her at j tho time the Tolgoed toll-bar was demolished ; and 1 which he has hoaxed the police into the belief that 1 ho was present at . She also says that he ¦ i s not quite baked in his upper garret : but soft as he may be , the police eeem to be softer still . Respecting the present position of affairs we 1 have received the following by the last post on Thursday , from a correspondent of our own , whom ! we thauk for his attention , aijd trust this is not the last of his favours : —
Swansea . —Sib Robert Alarmed . —To-morrow ( Wednesday ) being the day fixed for the rerexamination of the parties charged with a participation in the doings of Rebecca , no small anxiety is shewn by the " powers that be , 'ilest an outbreak of some kind of other should take place npon that day . We previously had a strong body of infantry ( more than the barracks could accommodate ) , stationed in the town ; bat this powerful force W& 8 deemed wholly inadequate to protect the liege Bubjects of " our Sovereign lady the Queen , *' against the formidable powers of the all conquering Rebecca . So we have to-day been favoured with a fresh importation , consisting of a troop of the 4 th
Light Dragoons—fellows with long mnstachios and longer swords—and two additional companies of infantry , who- look as if they required some Welsh mutton to restore vigour to- their exhausted frames . I was up at Newport last week and saw some " flying artillery , " destined , no doubt , to mow down or to blow up Rebecca ' s daughters , when they catch them . In short , the whole district is in a ferment . Our worthy Mayor , honest man , is at his wit ' s end . A few days ago , some haymakers were returning from their work , carrying a comrade shoulder high , who had actually th&hardihood to cry " Rebecca for ever I" But as this was , of course , a species of hieh treason . tbftMavor . it
is said , struck the delinquent With a cane » gave him , over to the force , and afterwards held him to bail . A subscription is going on to enable the party to prosecute the Mayor for an assanlt . Yesterday I had occasion to call at the police office , and I found those worthies furbishing up old pistols , each with a face as long as a fiddle , and appearing mortally afraid that some serious onslaught was about to be made . A lot of arms have been found in the possession of a respectable person in this neighbourhood , the investigation about which has been strictly private } but the p « rty has been held t <> bail . . The copper-makers turn out on Monday
next ; when I am informed that . an attempt will be tried to make it a Chartist strike . Should such an attempt be made I shall certainly be there , and oppose it all in my power , as I think this kind of fan has cost us dear enough already . I forgot to say that the testimony against the Rebeccaites ia not worth a straw , as the only witness against them was a man who was quietly in his bed while the whole game Was played . At least his wife says sol Should anything of importance occur tomorrow , I shall send you word in time for & second edition .
