SEiaHXJEnr . Easter Dues . Messrs . Weatherhouse and Rhodes , the two obnoxious Gartists who neglected to pay Mr . Busfield , the rector , his Easier Dues , bare again been summoned by the benevolent man , to show cause why they refuse to comply with his demands . The reverend gentleman's claim upon the individuals for allowing then the liberty of wearing their own heads , and transacting businees for them with St . Peter , appears to stagger them , although they declare they would pay , if he would only accommodate them with a list of the items in a tradesman-like manner . As the BBmmonses contained no information of that kind , they wisely posted them in the public streets , to let the other inhabitants know the unreasonable nature of the gentleman ' s bills , and what they might exoeci in case he compelled them to pay .

He went ever to Wilsden one night last week , and called at a beer-shop kept by one Smith . It was after the time at which beer is allowed to be sold , bat as he represented himself as a poor widower from Cullingworth , and said that he had been slacking lime ail dayand was very thirsty and hungry ,
, and begged them to let him have something to eat and drink , they took pity on him , and let him have what he wanted , and charged for it . He then went away , and these kind people were brought up before the magisirates on Tuesday , and fined for selling ale at an improper hour to thi 3 fellow . He had been at a poor cottage house somewhere in the neighbourhood also , and by pitiful tales had induced the people of it to let him hare a pot of beer , for which he paid them and then fined tliem for selling without a license . This will be enough to cause our unsuspecting neighbours to be aware of him in future j he generally goes by the name of little Mick at home .

The letter in question was thus introduced under cover to the notice of the party to whom addressed by ihe intermediary agent : —

' JtLavmg of ^ rsd his services to them , a deputation ' + £° v neir ' ^ T waited upon the captain , and stated tnat the principal foreman had acted in a hasty and , intemperate manner towards them ; that he had committed acts of tyranny and oppression , and had aade himself so " obnoxious that they had been ; ooijged , with pain to themselves , to adopt the unplea- ant alternative of leaving their work . They fur-Wer stated _ ihat they had in several instances ad-i cressed their employers by letter , and waited upon them by deputation , representing the difficulties of ; " ^ j 1 situation ; pointing out the great inconvenience wnich must arise to them bv being obliged to leave weir
work , havicg brought their families to London on the faith of lengthened employment . That their employers stated their entire satisfaction with the conduct and industry of the general body of the men , and also that they had great confidence in the ability * ad integrity of their foreman ; that he was a rough diamond , and was not particular in his expressions towards them . The men then stated other grievances , and concluded by expressing their detenninp .-hod , let the consequence be what it might , of not returning to their work under the same foreman .
j-ney runner stated that the whole body of masons throngb . out the United Kingdom had sanctioned their determination , and would not only support them , but * oald also refuse to work under this foreman . The Rowing morning the gallant captain went to the oaee of the contractors , in York-road , Lambeth , and " *<* an interview with Messrs . Peto and Grissell , *^ io stated most positively that the workmen ' s com-P-aints were unfounded ; that they were endeavour-LT 1 -g to tyrannise over them , and compel them to do Mi act of injustice to a faithful servant , which they were determined not to submit to .

Leeds Anti-Corn Law Meeting . —Never did the Whigs exert themselves so much to raise a meeting as on last Monday . Our neighbour Mercury , in Ms paper of the previous Saturday , implored , and argued , and coaxed , and threatened , and employed " all his possibles" to get the people there and to have them to a minute to the time . He reminded them that the Chartists were early comers , and implored them as they valued the oontinuance of Whiggery to come to its rescue from the merciless Chartists . We were amused no little at the evident trepidation ot our worthy ancient the Mercury , He need have entertained no such alarms . The Chartists had made up their minds not to interfe re ;
but for once to let the poor fellows have a holiday and enjoy themselves . We were not present at the meeting . We had no reporter there ; but from all that we can hear we learn that the upshot of all the Mercury ' s conjurations was the congregating in the Cloth Hall yard of about 1200 persons , nearly half of whom were Tories ; the Chartists having determined to stay away . We find a report of this meeting in the Morning Chronicle of Thursday , which we havonodoubthasgoneforth from the Mercury . And we find in that report that , after the usual recitations b y Mr . Hamer Stansfeld and some other gentlemen , Mr . Gardner , who had strolled down to the place out of mere curiosity , to see what sort of a figure the
unfortunate Whigs would cut when left to themselves , hearing a resolution proposed whioh he believed to be false , both in spirit and language , attributing the distress of the country " mainly" to the Corn Laws- ~ thought it his duty , as an integral part of the meeting , to dissent from this absurd falsehood ; and therefore proposed an amendment— " That this meeting is of opinion that the cause of the distress of the country is mainly attributable to the monopoly of the franchise , and that it will never be removed till the franchise is extended to every man of twenty-one years of age , of sound mind , and untainted with crime . " As a proof that the Chartists as a body was not present , 'Mr . Gardner had not even provided a seconder
for his amendment , but" hoped that Mr . Plint or some one would second it . " The amendment was seconded by some person in the body of the meeting , and the Chronicle ' s report says , ** The Chairman said he was very much gratified by the calm and dispassionate manner in which Mr . Gardner had addressed the meeting , and proceeded to nut the amendment . He took the show of hands twice before giving his decision , and then said that the show of hands was nearly equally divided , but he must confess that the amendment had it . ( Continued applause . )" Can anything prove more forcibly than this the triumphant power of truth , or that the principles of Chartism are true ; that in a meeting composed exclusively of the adherents of the factions the simple
doctrines of truth , when presented , were at once received ; nor can anything prove the detestably unscrupulous character of the vile tricksters who have so long " gulled the natiyes" at Leeds , than the subsequent conduct of the Honourable and Reverend Gentlemen composing the conclave at this " respectable" meeting . No sooner was the flabbergasted Chairman compelled to admit that the amendment had been carried , than Whig and Mercury wit came to hia rescue in the difficulty ; and "headded , that as Mr . Gardner bad not objected to the original resolution , and that the amendment was not inconsistent with it , he should put the original resolution . " A show of hands was accordingly taken , and the Chairman then said that the number
in favour of the amendment was very large , but that in favour of the original resolution was much larger . —Mr . Gardner , who , as soon as his amendment was carried , wa 3 leaving the yard , on seeing hands held up again , returned , and ferretting his way back to the front of | the steps , exclaimed that the proceedings were a disgrace to the town of Leeds . When the amendment was carried , as the Chairman had declared it to be , it set aside the original resolution . If the Chairman did not know his duty he would tell him . ( Great cheers and confusion . )—The Chairman said that the amendment was carried , and formed a separate resolution . The original resolution was carried , and , therefore , became annexed to the other . ( Hear , hear , and no , no . )
Mr . Edward Baines , jun ., said he believed it was not the wish of tho persons who voted for the amendment , many of whom voted for the original resolution , to burke the resolution . Mr . Plint said he wished to ask the gentleman who proposed the amendment , whether his intention was to prevent them from memorialising the Queen on the Cora Laws . He claimed a short , distinct , and direct answer . ( Long and loud cries ¦ of " hear , hear . " ) Mr . Gardner replied that the original resolution stated that the distress in the country was mainly attributable to the Corn Laws . He denied this , and stated that the cause of distress was class legislation . His amendment went to shew that they never could get a repeal of the Corn Laws till the suffrage was extended . ( Cheers . ) The object of
his amendment was to set aside the original resolution . ( Disapprobation . ) They might send a cartload of memorials to the Queen if they pleased . — The Rev . Thos . Scales suggested that the wishes of the meetiDg might be made to harmonise by putting the amendment and resolution again . " Now was ever tricky villany equal to this ! Were ever two such arrant fools as the Chairman and Mr . Epward Baines , jun . ? The original resolution attributed the distress of the country to the Corn Laws ; the amendment denied this , and attributed to class legislation ; yet the Chairman gravely affirms that these two propositions are consistent with each other , and may be both adopted by the meeting , and Mr . Edward Baines , jun ,, believes that thn--R whn voted for the amendment did
not mean to reject the resolution ! 3 In this way , three-fourths of the meeting being actually in ignorance of the cause of squabble , and unable to hear the resolution read from the chair , but having confidence in the GooD-man who occupied it , and in their oracle , Mr . Baines , the juggling wretches manage to get several persons to hold up their hands for the rejected resolution and declare both carried ! The next part of the Chronicle ' s report we do not believe ; for it would make Mr . Gardner , a working man , to be as great a fool as the Chairman and Mr . Baines . It says that " after some conversation" Mr . Gardner- withdrew his amendment . We don't believe this , for two reasons . Firstly , Mr . Gardner had no power to do
so . The amendment having been adopted by the meeting was gone , out of hia hands , and he had nothing to do with it . Secondly , we cannot suppose any working man would be so arrant a fool as to thus lend himself as a goat ' s horn to the nasty foxes to climb out of the well by . The fact is , that they found they had made fools of themselves , that they would be laughed at by everybody for a parcel of nincompoops , and they have recourso therefore to this Bheer invention , about Gardner ' s withdrawing his amendment after it had been carr ied , to get out of the mess . Such , at all events mnst be our conviotion until we have better
evidence of the alleged withdrawal than the assertion of our veracious ( neighbour or his Whig cousin , tho new fledged Baronet . In any case the sagacious honest cunning of Mr . GooDman , Mr . Baines , and the Rev . Mr . Scales in asserting for the carrying of their point , that two oppositeB were consistent with each other—that the parties who voted black , did not repudiate whiteand that it might "harmonize all parties to put again " a resolution deliberately adopted ,, will remain in all its brilliancy before the public ; while we cannot acquit the Leeds Chartists of neglect of duty in not being there to teach these quibbling { tricksters a little plain dealing .

COBN LAWS AND PUBLIC DISTRESS . PUBLIC MEETING AT LEEDS . AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the Borough of Leeds , convened by the Worshipful the Mayor , in compliance with a numerously and respectably signed Requisition , and held in the Coloured Cloth Hall , on Monday , the 27 th September , 1841 , in the unavoidable absence of the Mayor , ( he being out of Town ) JoEflr Goodman , Esq . having been unanimously elected Chairman , the following Resolutions were passed : — Moved by Hameb Stansfeld , Esq .
. ' , Seconded by Peter Faibbairn , Esq . 1 st . That great and increasing Distress has been experienced during the last four years , by the Mercantile and manufacturing Classes of the Woollen District , of which Leeds is the centre . That the condition of the Workmen engaged in the various branches of ita Staple Trade , has been greatly deteriorated from the combined operation of a lessened employment for labour—a lower rate of remuneration for it—and the high price of all the necessaries of life , and more especially of Flour and Meat ; that
the Merchants hare experienced unparalleled and , in many oases , ruinous losses , from the frequent and large fluctuations in the value of Manufacturing Goods , and the frightful amount of Insolvency whioh has taken place amongst the retail Traders of the Nation ; and that the Manufacturers have Buffered in a still greater degree than the Merchants , because they have had to bear the loss arising from the partial employment of their Machinery , and the consequent inadequate return upon their sunk Capital , in addition to those arising from extreme variations in the price of the Raw Material and the Bankruptcy of their Customers .
Moved by WittiAM West , Esq . ; Seconded by Thomas Plint , Esq . . 2 nd . That this Meeting is clearly of opinion that the distress experienced in this District , and genetally throughout the Manufacturing Districts of the Empire , is mainly attributable to the restrictive Laws , falsely called protective , on the Import and Export of Food and Manufactures , and particularly the Corn and Provisional Laws , —Laws , which exist for the sole and just advantage of one section of the Nation—aggravate the effects of deficient Harvests , and prevent the Farmer from deriving any Benefit from productive ones , —practically deny the right of the People to exchange the produce of their
Industry for the food and Productions of other Nations—restrict a rapidly increasing Population to the comparatively stationary supply of Food , raised from our own Soil , thereby compelling the mass of the People either to consume less Food , or Food of a less nutricious character ; thus diminishing their Comforts , inflicting severe Privations , engendering Disease , and prompting to the Commission of Crime , in years of scarcity causing a serious Derangement of the Currency , of which the immediate andinevitable effects are falling Prices , Commercial Alarm and Embarrassment , a frightful destruction of the Property of the Capitalists , and appalling Distress amongst the masses of our Operative Classes .
Moved by Joseph Bateson , Esq . Seconded by J . O . March , Esq . 3 rd . That that this meeting being thoroughly convinced that the Corn and Provision Laws are the prinoipal cause of the cruel privations and embarrassment of the Manufacturing Classes , and that delay in the application of a Remedy will alike add to the intensity of the evil , and the diffioulty of its cure , enters its solemn and indignant Protest against the postponement of all inquiry and discussion on this important subject , by the Legislature , as a dereliction of duty , and as indicating a disregard to that cry of suffering , and that urgent prayer for Legislative interference and relief which has been sent up from the Millions of our Manufacturing Population .
Moved by E . Baines , Jun ., Esq . ; Seconded by Rev . Thos . Scales . 4 . That a loyal and dutiful Address be presented to her Majesty the Queen on behalf of this Meeting , that it be signed by the Chairman , and that it be transmitted to the Right Honourable Earl Fitzmlliam , with a respectful request that ha will take the earliest opportunity of presenting the same to her Majesty ; and that the following be the Address : — [ The Memorial was iu effect an echo of the Resolutions : the following was the concluding sentence : —]
Under these circumstances we humb 2 y approach your Majesty with the prayer , that your Majesty will vouchsafe once more to recommend the public distresses , and their main cause , the Corn Laws , to the consideration of Parliament , and that you will not exercise your prerogative to prorogue the two Houses until those important subjects shall have undergone full discussion . And we will loyally and affectionately pray for your Majesty ' s health , your domestic happiness , and the prosperity of your Reign . Moved by Dr . Smiles ; Seconded by Joseph Cliff , Esq .
5 . That the following Petition to the House of Commons be adopted by this Meeting ; that it be signed by the Chairman ; and that it be transmitted to Wm . Beckett , Esq ., and Wm . Aldam , Jun ., Esq ., the Members for this Borough , for presentation , with a request that they will support the same . The following is the Prayer of the Petition : — That with these views , and alarmed at the prospect of another winter of unrelieved privation and embarrassment , your Petitioners humbly pray your Honourable House not to defer entering into a full consideration of the public Distress , but immediately to deliberate upon measures for relieving that Distress , and especially to repeal the Laws which restrict the supply of Human Food . Moved by Mr . C . Cummins , Seconded by Mr . J . W . Smith .
6 . That the Resolutions' of this Meeting be advertised in all the Four Leeds Newspapers . The Chair having been vacated by John Goodman , Esq ., it was taken by Hamer Stansfeld , Esq .. and , on the Motion of Mr . J . W . Smith , cecondea by Mr . G . S . Nussey , a Vote of Thanks was unanimously passed to Mr . Goodman for his impartial Conduct in the Chair .

Suffering Countrymen and Countbtwomen , — If ever there was a time that called upon you to exert your moral power to save this our beloved and once-happy country , that time is the present . Up then and do your duty , for there is not a moment to be lost . Look around you and you will find abundant cause for your best exertions . Witness the thousands of men and women who are walking our streets for the want of improvement , our baetilea are full , and our prisons are full . Hundreds are starving for food and clothing ; this , too , at a time when our storehouses are full . Thousands more are leaving the land of their births to find shelter in a distant land . Oh ! England , England 1
Ireland is in a deplorable condition ; witness the condition of those who come amongst us from that long-oppressed country ; let our motto be " Union ;" for Union is strength—if united we stand , but divided we fall .

Leeds Cloth Market . —There still continues to be a fair share of business doing in the warehouses , but at the Cloth Halls , the demand for goods is very trifling . 16-would seem as if the merchants had almost ceased their purchases at the Halls ; indeed , goods are now more than ever carried direct from the manufacturers to the warehouses .

Warp Hogs are abundant , and almost unsaleable . Yarn—We regret we cannot report any improvement in this branch of trade , and the spinnera appear to bo acting in self-defence by only working their machinery short time , nor is it generally to ba expected that anything beyond day-light will be required to supply the wants of the consumers
during winter . The quantity of unemployed combers 13 considerable , and we fear their calls on the parish will be numerous , unless something shall strike up to increase their employment . Piece—The demand for goods is scarcely so active as we observed a few weeks ago , nor can we look for any decided improvement till the result of Leipsic fair is known , which is now on . Prices are generally fair , and the stocks on hand far less than we have noticed at this season since 1836 , which augers well if any demand should take place . . »

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —By inserting the following in your valuable paper , you ¦ will oblige , Yours , very truly , George Julian Harsey ;
TO MR . MARK CRABTREE . Sir , —I yesterday received a letter from Dewsbury of which ihe following is a copy : — " Dewsbury , Sept . 23 , 1841 . "Mr . Ha ejjey , Sir , —I am instructed by your friends in Dewsbory to lay the following st&Aemeats before you : -After the district meeting on Sunday las ; was over , a few delegates repaired as usual to Mr . Charles Armshaw's , to have a little conversation , when Mark Crabtree , accompanied by a brother of his , came into the room , when , after a little chat on different subjects , he ( Mark Crabtree ) asked , if we , vhe Chartist 3 of Dswsbury , would take part along with Lord Ashley ic an agitation for a Ten
Hoars' Bill ! Our answer was , that we would join in no agitation short of a whole measure of justice to the working elasses , which was—the People ' s Charter . He ( Mark Cr » btree ) then went on to say that the Chartists , or leading Chartists of Dewsbury , was a set of poor , mean , shabby humbugs ; and this , said he , is the opinion of William il « tiu , of Bradford and poor George Julian Harney . You behaved in a mo 3 t shabby manner to poor Harney , said he ; you paid him as your lecturer , a paltry thirty shillings per week , tchile I paid him J ive- andforty shillings per tceek during the late West Riding election . With this expression , he struck the table , had it not been British oak , a blow sufficient to
! 6 hiver it . After this , Thomas W as 3 challenged him i to prove his assertion on the Market Cross next morning at ten o ' clock , and he ( Thomas Wass ) i would at the same time engage to prove to a majo-¦ rity of- the inhabitants that Milk Crabtree was a '¦ lying , two-fsced political villain . Thomas Wass - attended time and place , but the rascal had cut his ' : stick and left the town . I " In conclusion , it is the desire of your friends in jand about Dewsbury that you should challenge i him . in the Northern Star to prove what he said , I which , if he re / uses , the Chartists of Dewsbury m \ 1 i then caution the Chartist body against this Toryi paid scoundrel , as they consider Mark Crabtree as pernicious a character as Harrison , the notorious
spy . ** The persons ready to come forward to prove what is here contained are John Haigh , of Ossett ; Joseph Atkinson , of Heckmondwikc ; Thomas Wass , of Dawgreen ; and Benjamin Simpson . "The affair has been laid before a meeting of Chartists in Dewsbury ; the opinion of which you will understand by the enclosed resolution . '"Signed on behalf of the Chartists of Dewsbury , li Wm . Moselet , Stott , Secretary . " " P . S . Enclosed you will find tho resolution passed at our meeting . " The above letter 13 dated September 23 rd , but bears the Dewsbury post-mark of September -27 th . Perhaps Mr . Stott can explain this . 5
The following is a copy of the " resolution' alluded to in the " postscript of the above : — Moved by Adam Brander , seconded by James Xewsome— That we , the Chartists of Dewsbury , have every confidence in George Julian Harney , one of our late candidates for the West-Hiding of the County of York , and wa consider the assertion made by Mark Crabtree , of Dawgreen , which was to the effect that Mr . Harney , like himself , was in the pay of the Tories during the last election , to be a direct attack upon the character of Mr . Harney , who we consider to be one of the most upright , bold , and unflinching patriots that in oar day has come forward to advocate and demand the rights of the working classes . " Wm . Moselet Stott , Chairman .
On this resolution I have onl y to remark that I return my thanks to the men of Dewsbury fer the good opinion they have of me been pleased therein io express . I assure them they will fiod _ their confidence in Julian Harney ha 3 not been misplaced . Mr . Crabtree , I have copied the above letter verbatim as I received it . My answer shall be Eummary and to ihe point . Your statement ( if that statement you made ) that you paid me jive and forty shillings per iceek during the late West Riding Election , is a wicked and calumnious lie ; and I challenge and defy yon to prove it .
