Leach continued to answer point after point to the edification of his audience , who lutenod with marked attention , « alyintenni |» tod b y ppplaaaataad glanced at the progress of tbe cause . H « was highly pleased to hear their eluurman read that day aa artiele from tbe Nonconformist , encouraging and defending the QartiBU—a journal whieh waeieadhy Uw mvddle class . The pros had been invariably againat them . Tbe Manchester Guardian had , on all ooeajjiOM misrepresented them , and was of no wanner of service to tbe working . Btan . Bat there was one thing which gave coasolation , they had the Northern ,
Star , which amid all the storm and adverse ele-Beats , had been the people ' s friend . > It had never bent Beither in the battle nw tne bnese . The speaker drew a picture of the 5 , 000 , 000 of half-fed and half-starved people of Ireland , and their benevolent cotton masters were going ihousaads of miles , to 6 * 8 if they could find people who wanted a shift era shirt . Tbe speaker jdaneed at the report of the Enumeration Society , at Leeds , and called upon the people to unite to breakdown the tottering corrupt and unjust system . Mr . Littler rose and asked whether any one objected to what the speakers advanced , if so , he would ensure them a hearing , A gentleman , at tbe ^ nd of the room , who said he was of tbe sane opinion as themselves , relative to the
Charter and Corn Laws , asked two quest ions , which Leach answered to his entire satisfaction and the meeting generally . N » other questions being pot , Mr . Bell rose and moved , " That the best method of repealing the Corn Laws and -benefiting the country was to make the People ' s Charter a legislative enactment . " ' Mr . Rankin seconded the motion . The Chairman enquired if any one had an amendment , and none appearing , the resolution was unanimously carried amidst loud cheers . Mr . Griffin then moved , " That though this meeting condemns in the highest degree the conduct of those deluded parties who have allowed themselves to be mads the tools of designing men , by soine to meetings with
sticks instead of arguments . Yet we beg to be understand that we make no allusion to the intelligent members of tbe Repeal of tbe Union Association , hearing that they themselves have denounced it , and believing as we do , that they are as sorry as we are to witness mch disgraceful proceedings ; and we hereby offer the right hand of fellowship to every Irishman , whether he agrees with us in opinion or not , so long as he does not infringe upon our liberties . " Mr . Murray seconded it , and it w&s carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was tendered the Chairman and the lecturer , and three cheers were given for the Charter , Mr . O'Connor , the Northern Stnr , asd the Welsh Patriots , and the meeting broke up .

There was an excellent meeting . Mr . Young , a mason , was unanimously called to the chair . Mr .

St 7 NDEIULAin > . —Masons' Struck . —A subscription to aid tbe masons now on strike at the Parliament Works , London , is on foot in Sunderland , Newcastle , North and South Shields . This has been started , not because the funds of the masons are exhausted , or likely to be , for thanks to their excellent organisation , this is not likely to be the case , but it is felt that the strike of the masons involves principles and considerations of the deepest importance to tbe whole working community .

G&SUKOGK * --A . meeting of the inhabitana of this tow * mas held in the Hall of the . Mechanics ' Institute ; on the areaing of Monday sennight , for tne purpose of ^ memorialising .. the ! local authorities against their then intended- aocmentatiDn of salaries to the Manager of -one Gas Works , tile town ' s Taac gather , and town ' s Architect . By whom the thin * was-so / grated , or what its , ooncoctera' real objeet was , we have not been MlQ ^ atiafaotonly to discover , nor does ii ., matter much , ' as it . is the report of the sroeeedtnZB bfJtha iaeetiiiir mi tnrm bv the Greenock
Advertiser , that , *» jaaialy fobe spoken , of , in this pari » ran > .: Ti » base hostui ^ of tbisjoamal to the extension ofythe electi * e franohlse , for the last pastthreeyears , fc U | most efibctuaUy promoted ! the eaose of Chartism ia this town * and neighbourhood . Tb > . late extraordinary demonstration in honour of the Champion jof the Charter was , characterised by the Greenoek Advertiser , ja . a notice of aema half dozen lines , as a foolish affair , attended by 600 men and boys , while it is notations enough to . aU that Greenock contains upwards of 6 , 000 adult Chartists , all first-rate artisans , and stern advocates of political justice , and that ' there wore at least 12 , 000 persons walked through Greenock on that occasion . However , as hat been already said , it ia the report of the proceedings of the abofe meeting we have in
new . The placard that announced the meeting was headed a Extravagance of the Local Authorities , " and of coarse those who attended expected to hear the voice of the Committee respecting the affair complained of , viz . the reckless squandering of the town ' s funds ; nor were they disappointed . The chairman , Mr . John Malliston , an elector , and one of the most intelligent and independent men in the country , having read the bill calling && meeting , stated , in a clear and manly- manner , his opinion of the question submitted to the meeting , and was decidedly against the proposed augmentation of salaries to the publio servants . The moat of the speakers ( pearly a dozen of whom were electors ) held the ' same sentiments ; but Mr . John Neilson
took the lead , and made it very evident , as their conduct has since proved , that our local authorities eared not a straw for the remonstrances of the meeting , and that till such time as the great body of the people have the power of appointing their representatives in the House of Commons , as well as at the council . board , their grievances would be unredressed , and their complaints laughed at . On the Friday after the meeting , what was said to be a report of its proceedings appeared in the Greenock Advertiser , and a more shameless attempt to conceal and suppress public opinion , it was never oar lot to witness . It certainly stated that a resolution , condemnatory ot the intended augmentation of salaries to the publio servants had been agreed to at the
meeting , and laid before the local authorities , bat , at the same time , it so misrepresented the speakers , and what they said , as most have excited in the minds of its readers nothing but indignation and diegnsi ; Such a one a Baker , such a odq a Nailor , and Bach a one * [ Joiner , at the same time each and all are represented as speaking absolute nonsense . Excellent conduct this certainly , in a would-be publio teacher of morality , and a great stickler for endless misery in the world to come ; . But the real fact is , that the principal , objects of ail the Whig and Tory newspapers in the empire are not onl y to misrepresent and falsify , but to repress and smother truth , in whatever way or form she dare hold up her head . Let any working man . or
any one in fact , dare to open his mouth , or otherwise move , in behalf of the labouring classes , or point out a grievance under which the community suffers through class legislation , aad the instant he does so he is marked by the Whig and Tory newsmongers as deserving ot the most rancorous persecution . If he be a mechanic , his occupation ia invariably annexed to bis name , that he may be dismissed from his employment , and deprived of his daily bread . But there is no town in Britain where the working man has been made to suffer bo severely and so often for the advocacy of truth as he has in Greenock , nor is there a journal in existence that has disgraced itself so frequently in this way as the nefarious print in question . The local
authorities here , and everywhere else , should be ashamed of such alliances . They may be wealthy individuals , and look big when tinned respectable , but they can lay no fair claim to honesty or honour while they countenance such abominable work . The courteous reports which a regular Whig or Tory newsmonger is in the habit of giving of the proceedings of the magistrates and Town Councillors , would lead the casual observer to imagine that these bodies can do no wrong ; whereas , were many of their deeds laid before the publio in their true colours , how vary differently indeed would their conduct appear ! How many cruel acts of petty tyranny never heard of , are prostrated against the poor and friendless ,
by those clothed with brief authority ! The strong arm of the law is only known to the unfortunate when wielded Against them , and the wrongs of the blistered hearts as well as those of tke blistered hands , are passed over as matters unworthy of notice , by an unprincipled press . On the other hand , when the crimes ot the privileged classes require concealment , with what alacrity and ingenuity do the Whig and Tory journals whitewash and protect them ? Has some evangelical pillar of orthodoxy been detected committing an nnnataral crime ! or an elder caught squandering the Kirk plate on tho Sabbath T or a hundred respectable grocers found with light weights in their possession t * ' Hush hush ! " cry the Whig and Tory newsmongers , " like good children , and you will all get whistles to-morrow . " Nor ia there a biped among them
superionr at that game , to the linsey-woolsey weaver who patches up the Greenock Advertiser . It has been often thought , as well as said , that a list of the wretches ( with their original Occupations , ) who conduct the Whig and Tory papers in Scotland , would be highly amusing if not edifying to those who read and sapport those same Whig and Tory newspaper . Commencing with the Metropolis , we would find Bticked ministers , penny writers , tinkers , drystone dyke builders , and lazy weavers , and in the provinces , broken spirit merchants , earthenw&remen , bawdy-hou ? e bullies , and such a group of nondescripts as the devil himself could not enumerate . A beauteous and valiant band , truly , for enlightening and guiding the most philosophical and
devont people under Heaven ; and all led on , too , by the hen-toed turnspit of tbe Greenock Advertiser —tbe son-intrusion oracle of the West , and speechmaker-general for the local authorities of the first sea-port in Scotland . In conclusion , then , we would say , that a 3 the Mechanics' Hall is an excellent substitute for an honest journal , it should be used as such by the working people of Greenock . The Hall is , to all ends and purposes , their own ; there they can meet six nights in the week , if they choose , and , as tax-payers and men , who will be compelled to fight when war comes , they should rigorously dissect tbe whole of the conduct of the loca . 1 authorities ,
as well as that of the vile , disreputable local newspaper . A public vote of censure it most certainly deserves , for its late rascally impudence . Let another meeting , then , we say , be got up instantly , openly and avowedly for the purpose of remonstrating against the local authorities' extravagance at this calamitous juncture . They had more need to reduce the salaries of the pubho servants , and provide for the perishing poor during the approaching gloomy winter , more especially as one , at least , of those public servants is highly obnoxious to the great body of the community , and well known to be a petty tyrant . — Correspondent .
SHEFFIELD . —The Theatre re-opened for the season on Monday night , under the management of Mr . Lacy . Sheep Slaughtebsd . —A few nights ago a fat sheep , the property of Mr .

StrrcfDB . —On Tuesday week , an inquest was held before Thomas Badger , Esq , at the Sheffield Poorhouse , on view of the body of John Kirk , of Water Lane , aged 21 years . The deceased was a man of weak intellect , and on the previous forenoon was found suspended by the neck and quite dead in a privy adjoining the house in which he lived . The jury found a verdict that the deceased hung himself , being at the time of unsound mind .
Robberies . —On tbe morning of Tuesday week , about four o'clock , the hen-roost of Mr . Crossland , of Hanover-street , was broken into and three fowls stolen . On Thnrsday week , Mr . Frost , draper , in Fargate , had about thirty yards of striped linen stolen from his shop door . On Friday evening , ( the 22 nd , ) a brown top-coat was stolen from the shopdoor of Mr . George Foster , in High-street . BIHMINGHAM .-DEBroRs' Pbisow . —The justice of our beautiful laws ia finely exemplified in the treatment of rich and poor debtor ? . In the High-street of this town is a dilapidated bnilding in which tbe debtors are-confined . The upper rooms are used as sleeping apartments for the accommodation of those who are sufficiently respectable to pay for them , and also for the use or the Governor . The poor debtors' apartment is a miserable oellar , badly ventilated , in which there are now twenty-three

TYRANNY I TYRANNY ! TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Mr . Editor , —Since my arrival here , I have been under the necessity ot hearing the most abominable tales of oppression and injustice perpetrated on the working classes . Talk of "one law for the rich , and another for the poor , " it would be au abase of words to say so in several instances which have come to my knowledgo of late , a sketch of which
will , I think , do more to convince any working man of the abject state of slavery to which his class has been reduced than a dozen speeches , and will show to the world the abominations which are practised by parsons and magistrates iu the southern counties of "happy England . " I will now relate a case or two which cannot be outdone in all the annals of rascality ; and as there is likely to be a , n investigation into the matter hereafter , I shall suppress the names , although I have the whole particulars before me in ** black and white . "
The first case is that of a hawker of cotton goods , who was obliged to send his wife for a short time to live with her friends about seven years ago—he not being able to provide for herandhi 3 children . Her friends refused to be burthened with her , she was consequently forced to apply to her parish at Rugby , whore she waa admitted to the workhouse . Whilst there she happened to take the fancy of a Reverend teacher in the aristocratic Rugby School , who marked her out as a victim to bis amorous desire ? . The hawker's circumstances having taken a favourable turn , he sent money and clothing to his wife and family , with instructions to go to him : not hearing from his wife , he became very uneasy , and
Bent a friend to bring her and the children to him ; but they would not be allowed to go to him . He then wrote to the Guardians , requesting them to discharge his wife and family , as he was capable of supporting them ; she was discharged . But instead of going to her husband she was inveigled to the house of the abovementioned parson as a servaut . The man threatened to enter an action against him if he did not deliver him his wife , when the holy man dismissed her fromhia service , and took a house for her close by his owd . On hearing this , the poor man proceeded to Rugby , and was not a minute in his wife ' s house , when the parson made his appearance , and told him that the parish officers would not allow
her to live with him until he paid £ 12 13 s . 1 Id . The man not being able to pay the monoy , left the town , as the parson told him ne wmld be imprisoned , if he did not go . He then remained away for upwards of a year ; and , on his return to Rugby , found that his wife had a child by his reverence . The poor man felt sorely grieved at this circumstance , and signified his intention of instituting legal proceedings against the destroyer of his happiness . The parson offered him any money if he would again live with his wife , and told him that he could not find money to goto law with him . The man refused his money and left the house , declaring that he could not again think of living with his wife , bat that he
was determined to have justice for the villany of the parson . The parson afterwards sent two of bis servants for the woman and went with her to a magistrate to make her swear the child was her hasT band ' s . The magistrate refaeed to hear her . The man then tried to take his ehildren away with , iim , when a quarrel arose between him and his wife , for whioh he was Bent to Warwick Hpose ^ of Correetion for two months . After his liberation he again toed to get hisebildren , whenaBoflierebar te > was trumped up against him and he was sent , to Warwiok Gaol , for twelve months . After bis ; xdeua , he appliedUo several magistrates , to th ^ Lord ^ ieatenaat of the « n ,, nt » : unJFwrate to the Hdme-ontee , bnt received was
no satifiwtory answer . ^ toW ^ to enter an action aeamat the Parson , bnt . haf nof . the means Md therein why I nip ^ with these facts was , that the poor tSaSi . appHed to me ^ o know whether Mr . O ^ CQnnM , wja ) d take , np the matter . The Parson , whoTjaui thur . beea the cause of all this poor man * s ^ affennm . Is still a Head Teaoher in the aristocratic School % fa ] Qj , wd the poor man a houw ^ wan ^ erer ^ -i ^ wttl thus be Men that not only is there " one'Iawfw the nphan-j JSSS ^ t ^ r , mmm ^^ . m ^ the " rich as a meant to protect thent in'iheir mfernal
praotioe 8 , and give them power to blast for eve / the lopes and prospects of any person who Bfiall attempt to hinder them from the gratification of their oeastly appetites . I , havegot a wholebndgetoffac ^ 8 of thfi description , whlohvl shali ' make ose of fro ^ n time to time ; but considering the crowded eta ^ te of your columns , on account of the glorious Sooitish demonstrations , I shall reserve the rest for . some future number , and in the meantime .

to the editor oe ^ thb ^ orthkbn ' stab . » : Sir , — -In tbe Star ot Saturday , in a letter signed " Mark Crabtree , " I am very . unceremoniously dragged in as apdncipaL I will briefl y state some of the facts connected with the letter publlahed - la Hb » Star of Oot 2 , and signed " O . J . Harney . '' . Mark Crabtree , and < I believa , a relative of his , c « no into the room and aeked me , if Lord Ashley should come to Dewabnry , and a meeting begot' np . ia &vonr of » Ten Hoars * Bill , would I aapport , a resolution ? I said I would ; when he askednw if I would pledge myself not to introduce any other subject » tih « meettag , and engage to prevent any other patty from bringing
Other measures forward . My antww was , I should be happy to assiat in bettering the condition of the factory children ; yet If I saw that the measures Brought for--ward by Lord Ashley would not ultimately benefit the factory children , I ahonld foe ! myself at liberty to a ^ vtoe such a line of proceeding as would really be tdt the benefit of the poor man's child . Oh , says Mr . C . yon wotiia introduce your Universal Baffrsgeayatom ; and it that was the caae , Lord Ashley sbould noV come to be insulted by the mean and aoAbby hombuga » f Dswsbory . He said be knew Mr . O'Connor ; wo « ld join Lord Ashley in an agitation foe a Tea Hoon' BUI . M * .
Thomas Wats said he knew Mr .. O ' Connor would not under the present system of legislation . < - ¦ ' Mr . Cnbtree sail ho had beei } told t > y Mr . Hobcon and Mr . Hick , of Leeds , Martin , of Bradford , and'O . J . Harney , they had nothing bnttronbie with ihe leading Ghartista of feewsbury . Says he , yott are paying poor Harney a paltry 30 s . per week / while I have paid him 459 . per week daring the late West Riding election . This in his letter he flatly denies ; but forgets to have it corroborated by his valiant friend who Several timas threatened to draw Mr . Wats from bis chair , and turn him oat of the room itba interrupted Mr . O . any
more . ;¦ -. Now , dear Sir , I will not accept his compliment of villain , which he throws at me and Co ., fctcept it be villany to advocate for equal rights and equal jostioe to all ; if it be villany to endeavour to raise my fellowman from a state of abject slavery to political freedom , I accept the term villain freely . We know that SO * , per week Is too little for a lee * turer to travel with ; bat - Tory misrule and extravagance , together with class legislation , has brenght the working man to such a state of wretchedness that he cannot support , as be could wish , those who plead hi * cause ; and th » ugb Mr . Harney may have found it difficult to make his salary suffice , I have that confidence in him that I know he would rather plead the people ' s cause on those terms , than prostitute hia talents to the upholding of a system which has been a means of reducing \ h » working millions to their present deplorable situation .
Mr . Crabtree wishes Mr . Harney to coma to Pew * - bury , and give as a leoture on political honesty . I think Mr . Crabtree might as well attend at the same time , as he would then be able to state how many points there are contained in tbe People ' s Charter . Hoping you will please to insert the above in your next Star , I remain , Yours , ¦ respectfully , John Haioh . Osaett Street Side . Oct . 25 th , 1841 .
