X > ONCA 8 TKR .--On Monday last , the Chartists of Doncarter had a splendid teapaaty at tbe house of Mr . Henry , a teteran of ninety-eight , and one of the many Irishman who ' are now exiles frotn their na tire land . He was pWsonally ioquaimed with those two' aoblee of niitare , Roger and Arthuc O'Coonor , and oft « n when speakinp ; of them th * big tear trickles down bra furrowed cheek , and though Old , yet his ardour for the liberation of his country is unabated . After tea was over Mr . Charles Buck * ley delivered a neat and spirited address on the misery and privations of the working classes . In the course of tne erenihg , a variety of songs , duets , &C amused the company until Ia > te .
BtRBXIKOtTASC- F&KZH&R STftBKT MEETikgs—An enthnsUstlc meeting was held at the Chartist Room , P » eman- « tw » et , on Monday evening . Tbe meeting was ehkny composed'of tbe parties who attett&sa U * . White from th * Town BaU . Mr . * Walter Thome war onasiaoasly called to the chair , and on Mr . White maktef his appearanoe , he was ioudly and wpsatedly eheered . He addressed the meeting at great length , aad desttibed the Wood-thiaty eondact of th » eowardly marrafaetanrs and shopoerats , and infomed thria bt ttfe trsiiss < THTmf that oecomd la Ui « organ falkry . which it wai impossible tea Dm body of the meeting to bear . He again hurled defiance at the assassin "Plague , " and thanked the brave Chartist body-guard who bad stood by him at their own peril , and declared his determination of meeting the Tile impostors whenever they called the
public together . He animadverted on the conduct of some professing Chartiita , who remained quietly at the hack of tiie gallery whilst the life of him , and the few friends who surronndsd him , was endangered . He then entered into a description of the base means whkh the Whigs would resort to in order to thrust themselves into office , and-called on the working men to have nothing to do with sneh base ehuacten , and concluded amidst enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Mason then addressed tbe meeting in » most eloquent speech , and informed the meeting of the villany which he hod witnessed at the Anti-Corn Law meeting , and applauded the Chartist body for the noble manner in which they had floored tbe cowardly impostors . He was loudly cheered by the meeting . Mr . Barratt then addressed the assembly , and proposed that a committee should be formed for the purpose of finding out tbe person who had knocked Mr . White ' s hat out of his band . A
committee of five were then appointed-f after which the bum of twelve shillings was contributed for the purpose of replacing his loss . The Town Hall a&tir has filled the Chartists with energy and enthusiasm , for as soon as the attempt of the " Plague" to play the physical force game was properly understood , not one of tbe cowardly crew was to be seen in , or near , the Town Hall , whilst cheers for the Charter and O'Connor resounded through the various streets at the time that Freeman-street room ¦ was erowded . At the close of the
meeting a vote of thanks was Riven to Messrs . white and Mason . Three cheers were given for the Charter , three for O Connor , and three for White . When the metting waa about to separate , deputations arrived from various public houses , which were flUrd with Chartists wfco had retired to refresh themselves after the Town Hall uproar , to see whether Mr . White was safe , as they were not aware that be had gone to Freeman-street , so that instead of Injuring the Chartist cause , as anticipated by tbe " Physical-force Plague , " they have cemented them more strongly together .
Public Meeting . —A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the Chartist Hoom , FreemaD-street , on Wednesday evening , Mr . Hopkins in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Mr . J . Mason in ^ a strain of impassioned eloquence seldom surpassed . After the transaction of various business connected with the Association , the meeting separated . 8 TEBLH < nJSu Lanb . —Public Meeting . —Bbutal Conduct of the Anti-Corn Law League—Ai a meeting of the members ot the National CJiarter Association , held at the Skip Inn , Stcblhouse-lane , on Tuesday evening last , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : —Resolved , " That , in the op ! . i— —• « u- mooHiiB . thn hrutal conduct of a fit-cat number of gentlfcinen connected with th& Anti-Cam
Law League , at the meeting held at the Town Hail on Monday evening last , must stamp them as a party with eternal Infamy ; they have attempted to take tbo life of Mr . George Wbitei at s time when bis friends did not anticipate danger to his person , and tveie beyond the reach of renderingjhim assistance , only seven of them having gained admittance to the Or ^ an Gallery , althongh it is capable of holding several hundred persons , and was crowded on the occasion . " The following is a specimen of the brutal and indecent language used on this occasion : — " Murder the rascal !" 11 Throw h ' . m over ! " " Tear him limb from limb !" " Knock his b- y brains oafc } " &c . They also robbed him of hia hat and silk handkerchief , and shortened the gas when Mr . White was surrounded by
a large number of the parties "who had inp . do use of the abere expressions , from which their motives may be faitly judged . The conduct of Mr . Joseph Sturge on that occasion iras worthy of his previous good character , &nd merits tbe approbation of all good men , for which we return him our sincere thanks . In vindication of our character , as lovers of troth and fair-play , we beg ltave to state , that " Mr . White was duly authorised by this Association to propose Mr . Follows , cf Monmouth-strwt , as Chairman , be having been previously approved of by a Committee formed of Deputa tions from the various Chartist bodies in this town ; that our object was to secure fall , fair , and free discussion , without baring the slightest intention of hindering any man from fearlessly expressing hia opinions .
A report having got into circulation Out Mr . Brown was connected with our proceedings , we think it but justice to ourselves to state , that Mr . Brown had no connection whatever with the National Charter Association , ana that any part which be has taken was not sanctioned by us as a body . We likewise think that if such outrageous conduct be persisted in by the Aati-Coin Law Leaguo , public meetings will be a scene of outrage the m > st fatal to those liberties held to be so .-acred and inviolable by all lovers of truth and jxistice ; tbose Tights so dear V > every Englishman , tbe privilege of freely and fearlessly discussing all public gritrraxraes ; and that unless snch savage conduct be promptly checked , there is an end to all real freedom of opinion . —By order of the National Charter Association , Svmuel Davis , Chairman .

HARBOROUGH UNION . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —We take the liberty of writing to inform you of the treatment we have received in this place We will now state to you the case of J . Conquest , an inmate of this place , who , on the 19 th of August , at breakfast , for speaking . to one of his children , was dragged by a policeman , and confined in a dungeon for twenty-seven hours , on bread and water . Ha was then taken before Mr . Rookasby , a magistrate and chairman of the Board of Guardians , where Mr . Warburto& r the matiter , was allowed to rake up what charges he liked against him , and Conquest was not allowed to refute him , bus when he was making his defence , Mr . Warburton was allowed to interrupt him , and when Conquest appealed to Mr . Rookesby , to stop him , he flew in a great passion
and cried out ' Stand back fellow !" When CoaqueHt called his witness , W , Stafford , Warburton was allowed to interrupt him . When Stafford spoke to the magistrate to stop him , he arose Horn his chair , in a , great passion , and striking tne table with his fist , and looking at Stafford , spoke to him saying , "If you do sot mind , Sir , howyeu give your evidence , I will commit yon 1 " When Stafford asked him if he had not sworn him to speak the truth , and ho would speak nothing but the truth , Mr . Rookesby said , he should not believe one word he had spoken , and then told Conquest he should commit him to prison for fourteen days , and looking him in the face said he was satisfied hewasadeaperati character by his taking notes' when Conquest exclaimed , " Good God , Sir , is knowledge become a crime ! " but received no answer .
Wo will now state to you the case of Samuel Daw b , an iumate of this place , who gave a map who was going gut a shilling to bring him an ounoe of tobacco , but when he pamo back , ho was not allowed to see him , so he gave the change and tobacco to tho master , who never gave it to him . When Dawes left the Union , he asked the master for the money , but received for answer that he might think hiiudelf well off , that he did not punish him for it : he never gave him the change or i bacc <\
An inm ate of the name of Haddon , was confined in a dungeon , for the space of one mouth , locked down to an iron ring , without shoes or stookings or any bedding or covering : he could not lie down , and had only bread and water the whole time , in the midst of the severe frost and enow , last winter , which perished bis leg ; and he is at this time a cripple . For the great crime of getting out of this place to obtain eome food , he receired this punishment . # v ¦ ••• .-.., We have rules , hung up in our day room , stating the time of rising to be seven o ' clock , and for going to bed at eight o ' oleok , —which our master breaks when he thinks proper , locking us up by half-past six . o ' clock , like go many felons , and abusing us ia the most disgraceful manner .
On the 22 nd of October , all the able-bodied men were ordered before the Board of Guardians , where Mr . Commissioner Weal asked the . rbason why they did not break ono ton of stones per day I The reply waa , they were not able to do it , on the diet they received . He replied , " Let me tell you , you live well here ; aad unless you break the quantity of stones ordered by the Board , you will be sent $ 0 Leicester tread-mill 1 " The men were then ordered ont . We received our dinners , and went again to the door of _ the Board-room , and ,- were told wo could not go in . We sent our message in , by the porter , —that we were not ablo to do tho task of work , and if we were to go to gaol for that which , we were not able to do , we would rather go that ! day than stop any longer . ' . ¦ ' :
Here is tho dietary for abler bodied men and women ;—Eight pz . of bread ; fbr hwabfast , and seven for women . Oa Sundays , . Tuesdays , and Thursdays , five oz . of meat and one pound ef potatoes , for dinner ; for supper the same days , a pint and a half of broth , six oz . of bread for men , and five for women . On Mondays and Saturdays , ono pint and a half of potatoe soup for dinner . On Wednesdays and Friday b 14 oz . of suet pudding , for men , and 12 oz . for women : for supper , 6 oz . of bread , and oneoz , of cheese for men , 5 oz . of bread , and one oz . of cheese for women ; boys above nine years of age , the eame as women :, under ninoat discretion . And a . nice lit tie mesa it is : the allow ance of oatmeal . to make . the ' H rot-gut" is two pounds and a . half of flour for seventy pounds . - We wish , Sir , this to be made kndwn to the public ; for the truth of which , we write our names .

O'Brien should ha ? e received fen address ot which the words "there never was a press that really represented the working man , " formed a portion . Now Sir , In ] justice to O'Brien , in justice to m , in justice to the cause , I feel it to be an imperative duty on me , as Chairman of that meeting , to state thus publicly the case to be diametrically oppoalte .
In the first place , tbe address cannot be considered other than a personal address , inasmuch as it was not submitted to the meeting for approval And of this omission Mr . O'Brien made good nse by stating at the opening of his speech , that had that address been put he should have opposed it , word for word ; therefore , not considering it the address of the meeting , he should repudiate it as one every way calculated to injnre him , and justly , in the opinion of hie friends . I also beg leave to state that even the resolution embodying the wishes of the people to present him with a press , be would not allow to be put , and actually tore it in the presence of the meeting .
This , Sir , I trust ybu will consider a sufficient answer to the latter clause in your comment With the first par $ 'I have nothing to say , and as the reports of that meeting were not taken by tbe accredited London reporter , I hope the public will see into the motives which could induce any man , « s a reporter , to withhold that portion of Mr . O'Brien ' s speech which would at once shew the very consistent manner , the honest and patriotic feelings with which he repudiated . that address . By Inserting this in your next it will leave me room to de « Iare myself to be , With the greatest respect , Yours very truly , James Edward Nagle , Chairman of the Meeting , And Member of the Chartist Association Marylebone .
[ We are very happy to receive and give insertion to tblsletfer . We did noi receive the report ot the meeting from our owh reporter , on account of the meeting ' s havirg been called , we think most im' ' properly , on the same evening as that for thebene-- "fit of Carrier , to which bur reporte * waa previously 1 ' engaged . A personal friend of'Mr . O'Brien , from Brighton , being in London at the time , kindly offered his services to report O'Brien's meeting :, . aad as our reporter could not fee at both places , we were th&nfcful to accept hia offer . The reporter did not send the address ; he merely stated that a congratulfltory address was presented . Perhaps he might not intend the address to be Inserted , and 1 that m ^ y account for his not having reported Mr . O'Brien ' s reptidiatidn of It ; of that we can know
nothing . Wo recoiTed the addxen by the same post from the Secretary of the O'Brien Press Committee ; with lnf * rmatfon that it had been adopted } we therefore naturally eonetaded that it was intended to acoompaay , and form put of the report , and ordered ft to be Inserted accordingly . The report was inserted SB We received it , word for word , without any curtaUment , or any addition , bat that of the address , wbieh , as we reoeived it from the Secretary , and as he stated it to have been adopted , we neoessarily supposed to be the address referred to bjr the report , aad as we had reoeived noeommonieiktloa from Mr . O'Brien , or from any of his friends , relative to hia repudiation of It , we were compelled to treat it is the address of the Committee , and as having been received by
.-O'Brien . •¦ :- ¦¦' - ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . - ¦ : : - ; '¦' ¦' ¦¦¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' Since the reoeipt of the above letter , and the writing © f these remarks , we have received from a member of the Committee another letter respecting this matter . He says : —* In the first place , it is asserted that the address read at the meeting was not a verbatim copy of that passed by Mr , O'Brien's Committee on the previous Thursday ; it having been , according to the assertions of several of my brother Committeemen , ( I was not present its passing ) altered in the very part upon which you have so justly commented *' - ^ Ed , N .
