STJTTON-XN-ASHFX £ U > . —On Wednesday evening , according to announcement , a public meeting wai heW in the market-place , Sutton-in-Ashfield , which to attended by at leart 2 , 000 people , for the . two-fold pnrpoae of adopting a ' memorial to the Secretary of State in f * roar of Samuel Holberry , and hearing a Jeetarefrom Mr . Dean Taylor . Mr . . Mee was called to the chair , ud introduced Mr . Simmons to the meeting , -who , in a « bort ftpeecb , proposed the following memorial : — "To the Riffhi Eotuxtrable Sir Jama Graham , principal Secreiart ofSUUefoT the Home Department . " The memorial of the inhabitants of Satton-in-Ashfield , in the county of Nottingham , agreed to at a public meeting held on Wednesday , September 15 , 1811 .
" She-weth , —Thai Samuel Holberry ins eonTicted of conspiracy and sedition , at the York Spring Assizes , 1840 , and sentenced to fom yean" imprisonment in the House of CorrectkiB , 2 f orthallerkm . "That during his imprisonment the aid Samuel Holberry has been subjected to the horrid restrictions of the silent system , the effects of which apon his health and cooctitatiaB are so injurious that his physical powers are being impaired , his legs freqaantlf swell , and his appetite for the priwn dist completely fails him . " That the said Samuel Holberrj has yet , according to the tame of his sentence , two years and a half imprisonment to suffer , under the unnatural and destructire system of prison discipline , which is fast ruining his ha »
lfrh" That your memorialists believe that the Government to "Which you belong -will not suffer a system to exist ¦ which is sacrificing the present and future health of prisoners confined for political offences—a system about ¦ which there is something bo outrageous to common humanity , in the bare supposition of such cruelty , that your memorialists believe that they have only to lay this case before the present Government in order to secure for the said Samuel Holberry , if not an abbreviation of his term of imprisonment , at least a relaxation of his prison treatment , or , what we yet more earnestly petition for , a removal of the said Samuel Holberry to some other place of confinement where the honors of the silent system are not inflicted .
" That your memorialists wonld beg to remind you that Mr . Medhurst , conTicted of manslaughter , has been aeiai liberty , lest his health should be impaired , although , while in prison , allowed indulgences to which the said Samuel Holberry is a perfect stranger , and that the latter has already endured a long and painful imprisonment ; th * t to persevere In inflicting upon him the sentence awarded at the York Assizes will be thought , by a great many in all classes of society , to be excessively unjust and partial , and that it will tend to encourage a belief that the rich may do , with impunity , what is inflexibly punished in the poor . " That , having laid these considerations before your honour , your memorialists hepe that you will be pleated to intercede in behalf of the said Samuel Holberry . ¦ " Signed on behalf of the meeting . " Gilbert Meb , Chairman . " Sutton-in-AshSeld , " Sep . 15 , 18-4 L "
The above was seconded by Mr . D 3 an Taylor , who , at great length , went on to prove that the Chartist prisoners had not been punished for any crime against morality or religion , but simply because they held different political opinions from , the two contending f&ctions of Whig and Tory , and that class legislation had the effect of driving many an honest man te the contemplation of things , which , by the two factions , are considered to be sedition , conspiracy , and treason ; but were they once to prove successful , -would , cause the authors to be ranked amongst the bravest and most tesowned patriots » f the earth , such as Tell , Wishing ton , < tc He then went on to show that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would restore this ill-fated
country to order and prosperity ; and concluded by powerfully impressing npon the minda of his hearers the necessity of enrolling their names as members of the "Natioral Charter Association— and sat down loudly applauded . Moved by Mr . J . Simmons , and ascended by Mr . Wm . Blaisddl , «• That the editor of thoNortbem Star be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting in the people's journal . " Three cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the incarcerated Chartists ; three for F . O'Connor and the Northern Slur ; three for the People ' s Charter ;• and three for the people—all at the top note—after which , a subscription was entered into for Samuel Holberry , which still remains opes , and which will be forwarded to 'him ia due time . - - .
BRIGHTON . —The following has been received in answer to the Memorial transmitted to the Home Office , by the Chartists of Brighton , for an amelioration of prison treatment of Samuel Holberry : — M London , Sept 18 th , 1841 . " Sir , —I have the honour to forward a copy of the letter , I have this day received from the Secretary of Stita , in answer to the application made by myself and Mr . Wigney , in pursuance of your letter of the 27 th ultimo , enclosing a Memorial to the Marquis of Normaaby , relative to the case of Samuel Holberry . " I am , Sir , " Your very obedient Servant , " Gs . 0 . R . Pechell . " Mr . X . MoriingjiBrighton . " "London , Sept 18 th , 1841 .
Sir , —I beg to inform you , that my colleague , Capt Peehell and myself , have received a reply from the Home Office , to your Memorial in behalf of Samuel Holberry , and that it will be communicated to you
forth with . " I remain , " Your obedient Servant , " J . NEWTO * WlGUE-i " Mr . Nathsniel Morling , Brighton . "
COPT OF KEPXT TO XEJfOBJAL . WUtehall , 16 th Sept , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —Secretary Sir James Graham having had under consideration the Memorial that accompanied your letter of the 2 Stli ult on behalf of Samuel Hoiberry , a prisoner in ?? ortbailerton gaol , I am directed to acquaint you that orders have have been given for the removal of the prisoner to York Castle , there to undergo ihe . remainder of his sentence , and that the surgeon "will be requested to pay constant and particular attention to the prisoner ^ health , and to report thereon to Sir James Graham , from time to time . " 1 am , Gentlemen , " Your most obedient humble Servant , " S . M . Phillips . " To Capt Pechell , M . P . ' ¦ J . >\ Wigney , Esq ., MP . "
Thus it trill be seen that what the Whig Secretary ol State , Lord Xormanby , refused to do on the petition of poor Holberry , the Tory Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , has complied -with on the memorial of the Chartists of Brighton , viz , a removal to some place where the horrors of solitary confinement were not so much inflicted . Anether nail has been driven in the coffin of Whiggery , and driven borne and well ciiached . Credit is due to the men of Brighton ; they took the raattei up on the appearance of t in letter of Holl ary in the Star of the 14 th ult , and we believe that Brighton hr - been the o . M-T town that has sent a memorial . Holbeiry is removed ; and if he is not better treated fo "" -when in the hell of JJorthallerton , we pledge our word that Brighton -will memorialize a § ain and again . But we trust that the next removal will be to the bosom of Mj family and friends .
FIFESHIRK . —The spirit of discard appears to hare reigned rampant here . Corn Law Repeal , fixed duty deception , &c , have but too well accomplished their purpose for awhile , ij producing party strife , separation between chief friends , eonfusisn , apathy and indifference ; but men are thus disclosed , deserters no longer impede ; the true friends , -with greater facility , urge the onward movement Kie . cai . dt has endured the brunt , a goo 61 j few have borne the test , an 3 emerging from the disaster of defeat , honourably encounter , and determine to release themselves from burdens -which others have abandoned ; and to be simple , unencumbered , straightforward Chartists . Notwithstanding a total abstinence meeting in the usual place of assembly , and abstracting numbers who are supporters of both associations , another was procured -where a crowded and enthusiastic audience , received the missionary ' s labour with reiterated plaudits till a lata honr , the committee stil ] remaining to devise measures © f progression .

Skinner and Blackett's short addresses engaged attention for some two boors .

SOI . TON . —This town is about to bestir itaelf , and take a prominent part in the glorious straggle . A society is formed is Moor Lane ; they have had but two meetings , and they now number fifty-five members . In the youth ' s society there are some very intelligent spirited young men , who bid well to be powerful auxiliaries in the good cause . Upon the whole we are in a flourishing condition , A great deal of oar success U attributed to Mr . Isaac Barrow , who is ready , on ail occasions , to forward our cause . He lectured here on last night ( Sunday ) to a thronged ud delighted audience .
ARNOLD—We had yesterday ( Sunday ) obi as . niveraary for our Sunday School at Arnold . Tws most excellent sermons were had from our worthy lecturer , Mr . Taylor . In the afternoon , he preached from the 46 th Psalm , and ttb Terse— " There is ever the streams whereof Bhall make glad the city of God , the holy of the tabernacles of the Most High . " And ia the evening , from the 17 th chapter of Luke , 34 th , 35 tb , and 36 th verses— ' I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed , the one shall be taken and the other left Two women shall be grinding together ; the one shall be taken and the ether left Two men shall be is' the field : the ene shall be taken and the other left' What -with our Ct artist diaiognea and pieces recited by the children , and the two excellent sermons , it has gave a general satisfaction , and will not be soon forgotten . Our collections amounted to £ 2 6 s
BTJRNIJ 5 Y . —On Tuesday evening , the 14 th inst Mr . Charles Connor lectured ia « large room behind the Commercial Inn , to an overflowing and attentive audience . He made a powerful impression in favour of Chartism . On Thursday ev « . -ing , the 16 th instant , Mr . James Leach , member of the Executive Council , lectured in the same room , on Trades' Unions . Mr . Leach was at home in his usual argumentative style , aad he made a thrilling and soul-stirring appeal , which has brought to us many friends . MORXET . —Chart its preachixg . —Disgraceful Cosdvct of Lkeds Teetoiallers . —On Sunday last , Mr . Smith , according to an invitation he ha £ received , went to Morley to preach a sermon on practical Christianity , and to attend the Morley
Temperance Festival on the following day . On his arrival , he found that the Temperance folks had determined to give him no countenance , having , as they stated , been warned by certain parties from Leeds not to receive him , as be was not a teetotaller , but a Chartist . Mr Smith has been a consistent and able advocate of the principles of total abstinence for more than four years , as the parties from Leeds well knew . In order to prevent the intended preaching , a temperance meeting was held ey Mr . Atkinson and others from Leeds at the hour appointed for divine service , and Mr . Smith gave way , intending to preach in the evening . Mr . Atkinson not content with this maxtBuvre , BtaUd that the meeting had been resolved on for two months , that they did not know Mr . Smith was intending to preach ,
and that if he did not chose to do so , it was no fault of theirs . To this a person in the crowd replied , that it was a lie ; he heard it stated the day before that Mr . S . was not to be received because he was a Char tist , and one of the Morley Temperance Society let it eut that the meeting was only resolved on that day . Mr . Atkinson said that another meeting would be held in the evening , kat as this discovered the plot beyond dispute , Mr . S . mounted the chair , spite of the efforts of the u liberal" clique to prevent him , and gave them such a lashing as they will not speedily forget . He proved that a plot existed in the Leeds Society to pat down any temperance advoe&te who held the principles of Chartism , and
stated ( hat when he came to settle in LeedB a person was desired to make inquiries as to his politics , for the information of Mr . J . Andrews , and that Joseph Parker was not allowed to appear upon their platform , because he was a Chartist . Mr . Atkinson and his friend winoed severelj under the ' flagellation they had brought npon themselves , and attempted excasea , which , like all falsehoods , contradicted each other . It was truly ludicrous to see the pitiful figure they eat . Mr . Smith preached in the erening to a large and most attentive audience , from Acts xxriii . 22 , and was listened to for an hoar and a half with breathless attention . Mr . Smith has for ever silenced , in Morley , the objection , that Chartists are Infidels . He intends to pay them another visit shortly . —torrespondent .
DTJBLXK—The Irish "Universal Association held one of the most animated meetings ever assembled in this city , on Smnday last , Mr . W . Woadman in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed ; after which Mr . Henry Clark moved that Mr . Patrick Higgins and twenty others , resident in Sligo , be admitted as members . On the motion of the Secretary six were admitted from Newry as members ; and several members moved the admission of eight others resident in Dublinmaking a total of thlrty-nve . Letters from various parts of England , Scotland , and Ireland , were mad , which called forth the approbation of all present , many of whom came evidently to oppose , but who from hearing the sentiments of the letters , were
induced to gire notice to be admitted at the next meeting . Mr . C . Doyle delivered a most powerful and convincing address , which had the effect of making several persons , who were not members , say that they certainly should become members ; one man in particular was so convinced of bis errors that he came and begged pardon for the opposition he had given , and asked leave to be admitted a member , llr . Doyle was loudly cheered throughout his address . Mr . CHiggins , in a very clear and convincing speech , brought forward the motion of which he had given notice last Sunday . He said ihat Mr . Crawford -was not only entitled to the thanks , but the gratitude of erery real patriot and good man in Irel and , for having divided the House of Commons
npon the motion for laying before the Sovereign a trpe statement of the real causes of the distress and misery of the people , and of the best , the only mode of alleviating it . The Whig Ministry were pot just out , but on the eve of it , when tnls motion was brought forward ; and it is singular to observe how both Whig and Tory joined in their opposition to it . To him , Mr . O'Higgins , it did not appear strange to see the Whigs and Tories join ia opposition to any measure which should have for its object the amelioration of the condition of the great body of the people , but it must have astonished many a good man who might hare been weak enough to imagine that the Whig 3 ever intended doing any act or thing calculated to promote the interests , the comforts , or the happiness of her Majesty ' s subjects . There was
not a place-hunter , placeman , or hanger on of the Whig Administration who did not vote either against Mr . Crawford ' s motion , or leave the House without voting at all ; and out of all the great professing patriots which Ireland sends to Parliament , there were only two who had the honesty , to Tote with Mr , Sharman Crawford , and these two are Mr . Powell , member for Limer ' . ck County , and Mr . Roach , member for the County Cork . It is not only the duty but the interest of the Irish people to ask where were the O'Connells and Shiels , and the Shieb and O'Connells , when the House divided upon the motion ? Where were those fiery patriots who say to their dupes" Herditary bondsmen know you not , Who would bs free themselves must strike the
biow *" Why did they not strike the blow when the opportunity was afforded them ! The Queen said that she deplored the distress of her people , and dees any one doubt but her Majesty would have recommended the Tories , who were just coming into power to take some measures to relieve the sufferings of the best and most loyal portion of her subjects—the honest hard-working classes ! >* o the Whigs would not allow her Majesty to be made acquainted with the suffering and the privations of her people lest the Tories might have the merit of being in power when some measure might be recommended from the Throne for the benefit of the people . Well , both factions joined to prevent the Queen from obtaining
any information whatever upon the very subject above all others which it is right she should be informed of . and which it was the duty of her advisers to lay fully , fairly , and clearly before her . But , instead of this what did these two factions do ! Why nothing less than deceive their sovereign . Neither the one faction nor the other told their sovereign the truth ; but the very reverse . The Whigs told her Majesty that the distress , misery , and privations of her people , were entirely and altogether owiDg to the duty on fereign corn being regulated and ascertaiaed according toa sliding scale , which prored the average duty for the last twenty years to be 6 s . per quarter , instead of a fixed duty of 8 s . a quarter , which they said would cause bread to become cheap , and enable the British manufacturer to ' compete with the foreign manufacturer , without reducing wages , which appeared to him < Mr . O'Higgin 8 ) te be rather an odd kind of
proposition for statesmen to make , or sensible men to entertain , or attempt to foist upon , a nation , On the other hand , the Tories led her Majesty to believe that the distress and misery of the country were entirely and wholly attributable to a want of confidence in her Majesty ' s Ministers . Now , while the two factions between whom the country is plundered , afid the people driven to a state of the most unparalleled destitution , Mr . Crawford comes forward like an honest man , and loyal subject , to lay before her ^ Maje 3 ty the information which she so muoh desired . It woold be unnecessary for him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) in a meeting of Irishmen , to say anything ia favour of Mr . Crawford , as a landlord . ( Hear , heur . "He is one of the best landlords in Iceland , " ) He lost his Best for Dondalk because he rated for a total abolition of tithes , and against the Whig rent-charge , which leaves the poor tenant at the mercy of his landlord , and secures 100 per cent .

to the parsons , this uniting , by tbe strongest ties of self-interest , the parson anil the lafcdloril agWnst tbe poor tenant , who bean tile whole burden of the tithe without mitigation or relief . ( Hear , bear , and " That is true . " ) Mr . Crawford brought forward a motion for the repeal of the Irish Coercion Act . The Irish patriots * that is , those who are well paid for their patriotism , joinedall tbe Tories in the Housa against Mr . C . ' s motion , Hehas now given notice of his Landlord and Tenant Bill , a bill founded in strict equity , and one which Mr . Crawford has carried into practical operation on his own estates . This bill , if carried into law , will do more substantial good to Ireland than any measure that was passed
since the Union . ( " Hear , hear , the tenants will be paid fer their improvements . " ) It will prevent the landlords from taming oat the tenantry without paying them for their improvements . When a tenant improves a barren piece of land now , subdues it . and makes it fruitful—either by draining , shoreing . er clearing—it is taken from him at tbe whim of the landlord , and given to another at an advanced rent , the consequence of which is that the ejected tenant feelB—and very naturally feels—that a robbery has been committed ap ? o him , and not having it in bis power to take revenge upon the landlord who had committed it , he wreaks his vengeance npon the tenant in possession . Tbe Whig and Tory press take care to announce every act of violence—or
supposed act of violence—of this Bort , every " Rockite notice" to quit , and very often forges those notices ; bat the people of England are never told , by either Whig or Tory journal , that those outrages originate in robbing the tenant of his labour , and turning him and his helpless family adrift upon the wide world , stripped of everything in the shape of clothing or furniture : thus circumstanced , and thus treated by the heartless Irish landlords , the wonder is that there are not twenty outrages for every one we hear of . Mr . Crawford , in bringing forward his Landlord and Tenant Bill , may be influenced by a desire to pat a total stop to those fearful outrages , to save some of the Irish landlords from the fate which they so very justly merit , as well as by motives of humanity aad true
patriotism . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Why is he not supported by the Irish members 1 Because those who profess exclusive patriotism are all , or nearly all , looking for places , either for themselves or their dependants . But the Whigs are out , and it is natural to expeot that , as the chances of place are now in abeyance , tbey will begin to vote in favour of the people . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the following vote of thanks to William Sharman Crawford , Esq .: — " That the warmest thanks of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association are justly due , and hereby tendered , to Wm . Sharman Crawford , Esq ., M . P ., for his truly patriotic effort to lay the real causes of the distress and suffering of the people , of this ereat empire before her Majesty , by proposing
the following addition to the Address from the Houeo of Commons ; and also for his manliness in dividing the House upon it , and thus enabling the people to distinguish between their true and false friends , between real and sham patriots—* That we further respectfully represent to your Majesty that , in our opinion , the distress which your Majesty deplores is mainly attributable to the circumstance of your whole people not being fully and fairly represented in thiB House , and that we feel it will be our duty to consider the means of so extending and regulating the Suffrage , and of adopting such improvements in the system of voting as will confer on the working classes that just weight in the representative body which is necessary to secure a due consideration of their interest , and which their present patient
endurance of suffering gives them the strongest title to claim . ' And this Association also thanks the thirtyeight members who voted with Mr . Crawford upon the occasion , but more especially to Messrs . Roache , Powell , Murphy , Bridgeman , Blackett , Blake , J . O ' Brien , C . O'Brien , Sir V . and the Honourable Col . Butler , who are the only Irish members who voted for Mr . Crawford's motion . " Mr . Wood , in an effective speech of considerable length , seconded the motion of Mr . O'Higgins , after whioh three tremendous cheers , and one cheer more , were given for Mr . Crawford , and his landlord and tenant bill ; thanks were also given to the chairman , and the meeting separated , several as they left the room saying that Mr . Crawford was the only member in the house who represented the people of Ireland .
BARNB&EY . —Tbe Barnsley Chartists held their weekly meeting on Monday . After the payment of their contributions and the enrolment or some new members , tbe following resolution was carried unanimously , " That Mr . J . B . O'Brien be requested t © visit Barnsley as soon as he can make it convenient . " MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening , the Tibstreet room was crammed . Mr . Griffin was called to the chair , who read two very interesting letters from Mr . Doyle , who was then in Ireland , giving an account of the progress of the cause , and the good which the Star was doing in spreading the principles of Chartism , and removing prejudice in Ireland , which was received with loud cheers . Mr . Benbow then , in a speech replete with interest and of sreat length , delineated the manners and
principles of the present times . The Chairman then gave out tbe notices , one of which was that he would lecture on Sunday evening next . He then read several extracts from Cobden ' s pamphlet on Ireland , which attributed tbe evils of that country to the fact of its people being Catholics . A gentleman -was next introduced who had arrived from Dublin that day , and who was a companion of O'Higgins and Brophy , the noble men of the Association there , who spoke for a few minutes in a very affectionate and sincere style , which gave testimony that his heart and soul were in the cause . He gave a cheering account of the progress of the cause in that country , and the number of respectable men that had and were about to join . He was loudly greeted , and a vote of thanks was ^ tendered him and Mr . Benbow .
Demonstration Committee . —It is impossible to convey an idea of the general excitement in this town " and district . Tbe trades are making every preparation : twelve hundred tickets have been issued—just as many as can be accommodated with tea ; but they are not half the quantity which are called for . Go where we will , they have not tickets , and complain most bitterly . People are applying , from morning till night , to those persons who have been advertised in the bill to dispose of them : they come in groups to the Committee , and offer three times the money asked for them , but all to no purpose . Many of the most industrious females , who have made colours to carry in the procession , and have hired carriages , grieve much that they cannot procure tickets . There are many active and paying members who canuot get a ticket . Had there been convenience , the Committee might have
sold 5 , 000 tickets . There never was , poor as the people are , such a general excitement , and what to do to give satisfaction , they do not know . A motion was made in Committee last Monday night , to take the Carpenters' Hall , engage another band for a bail , issue another thousand ticketa , and arrange with Mr . O'Connor to sp « ak first at the Hall of Science , and then go to Carpenters' Hall , and there speak again , aud thus satisfy both parties . The discussion was adjourned till Wednesday evening . The Eccles people are preparing breakfast for the patriots . The flags are being silver-gilded and fringed . Every one seems to be doing his best . The Committee sit till midnight : they sent a deputation to engage a coach and four , and as soon as the gentleman heard who it was for , he treated the men , and told them they should have a coach and six for the same price , so that we shall have a coach and six to bring them in with .
