      Hjtan , to make these statements , that the public , ig « know ho * to value them . Thai , however , ji tb « r bnsinseB : we ' . doo ' t interfere -with it . We by bo means consider poverty to be a crime , nor the leoeiTinjf ©? aid in any honourable undertaking to be disreputable J nw indeed does it seem that the CoBUaitteadowi their ease being that thennderbtfag to which they refer was not reputable nor honest J bni a compromise of principle , and a yirtnal tale of Buch talent as the market jonid command . Without interfering further with the personal retort of the Committee , than to say ihat at least it i « not surprising , and has seriainly not heen replied to ; we repeat that of the address , as awhole , we most cordially approTe , and are happy to commend it to the attention of our

      readers . Bat whilst saying this we must also be permitted one word upon the petty attempt in the B ™ of this address upon the Northern Star , because " printed at No . 5 , Market-street f to establish s geseni principle which would identify us with every publication that might issue from the praes of Mr . Hqbsos in the prosecution of his busi » ness as a general printer . A more dishonest and flisingennons assumption could not hare been Bade . "No . 5 , Market-street , * is not "the Northern Star office" specially and entirely . It is Mr . Hobso ^ s general printing-office , and he of comrse prints for hire any safe and reputable job that may be bronght to him , just as we hare no doubt Mr . Fhkdjsbick Hobsoj ? , of the

      Leeds Times , would hare been Tery glad to print the address in question : however galling its contents might have been to hi 3 editorial partner , the profit would doubtless have reconciled him to the job . Surely , then , Mr . Hobsos , the publisher ot the Northern Star , being himself an active member of the Leeds Short Time Committee , B&y print at Mb office an address from them without its being necessarily " a Northern Star address . " "We note this petty meanness , not because it is worth it , but because it is necessary that tho people should keep in mind the / act that the Northern Star is not to be identified with , or responsible for , everything that , in the way of general business , may be printed by Mr . Eobsok . The least thought will show everyone that this is right and

      reasonable . Leaving the Short Time Committees and their li-dewnt friend , advocate , and adrertising medium , to seide iheir accounts with each other , we reiterate our call upon the people to uphold the principles which these Short Time Deputies ably and eloquently enforced upon the attention of the Goremmeni ; the enhancement of wages , the protection of Laboeb , and the restriction of the aggressions of Capital upon its rights . We recognise in the operation ot these principles the only medium of rational contentment and national enjoyment ; the only means by which the people can obtain their right and fair share of the good things which they bring into existence . We know that

      these principles will nerer be in operation until the people are inTested with the power of law-making , held and exercised under proper circumstances of jecurityj we recognise this power and these circumstances in the provisions of the Chaster ; and , therefore , since the promulgation of that document , the Northern Star has never " agitated /* and -while in our hands it never shall agitate , " for any legislative measure , save the Charter ; the great means to all good ends , social and political . It has ever , and , while we controul it , shall ever , at all fitting opportunities and proper seasons , keep folly before the people the discussion of those great measures of relief to the obtaining of which the Chxeees . is invaluable as a means , and without which it would become utterly valueless as an end .

      DECISION OF THE MINISTRY UPON THE FACTORY QUESTION . Is the plenitude of their anxiety to bespatter the Short Time Deputies with all possible abuse , the "Whig haeks and hirelings—the organs of the bone and sinew grinders—have most lustfly vociferated that the whole thing was a Tory trick ; that the hoax had been get up" for the purpose of throwing dast into tha eyes of the working people , and lading them off the scent of Corn Law « sepeal ; when lo 1 in the very midst of ill thi 3 jabber and a beslaverment" comes k letter addressed by Lord Ashley to the Short Time Committees of Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire , stating that Sir Robert Peel has ddlnitely announced his intention to oppose the Bin for shortening the time of labour in the

      factories . We learn this from tha London papers of Thursday , after our preceding article was written"We # ve the letter : — "London , Feb . 2 , 1842 . - * GeEtlemen , —It is with the deepest regret that I im obliged to announce to yon that Sir Robert Peel has signified his opposition to the Ten Hours * Bill ; md I conclude , therefore , as you will conclude , that las reply must be taken as the reply of the whole Government on this important question .

      TRICKS OF THE TRADERS . ADULTERATION OF SUGAR . ~ -f Km the DuWn World of Saturday , we take the reiiowing paragraph , descriptive of one of the modes ff wnich the now-a-daya " respectable" trader finsges to chest a living out of the class he affects w Qespise , and at the bare mention of whose name «« t rms up his nose as he would were a polecat ^ ci right smack under it s—_!\ The mmmfactare of gpurious sugar , by a method * aiea is mott unwhoifijom ^ ^^ mixture with palatoe is

      anoh greater extent than he seems to know of . The Btnff used is , as he says , potatoe starch , before it is eaicmed , or made into British gum , " for the use of eahoo printers . In the ordinary using of sugar the mixture is not apparent .- the starch beineyery soluble , it mixes witt the liquid , tea or coffee , as aoon or sooner than the sugar itself . The starch used for this purpose is ina fine powdered state : not w * ? ' t washerwoman ' s starch is . We hare been aware for some time of the pracbceheratointed out , and have been looking for a fit opportonity to expose it The practice is not confined to Manchester , Liverpool , and Dublin It

      prevails m Leeds to a i « ry great extent ! and we havereasoa for saying that it is generally practised bymoBtoftb ^ "lar * e"mgardealerain all parts . We know of ^ e house" who not long ago offered to _ J ?* e from * manufacturer of potatoe starch , J !*? f ? . * * tons of the article ! n * n uncalcined state , if he would « put it in" at 2 f dper lb . ; and , as an inducement , the " house" offered to take almost any quantity ; for the first forty or fifty tons would soon be disposed of . The starch manufacturer could not take less then threepence per lb .,- " 8 o "the aftair was-off . " The Bngar dealer got the starch somewhere else , where the parties could meet him at his price .

      Now then , let the reader look here . The sugar dealer buys this stuff at 2 | d . per lb ., and he mixes it with sugar that he sells at 8 d . per lb . He thus ells the starch at 8 d . per lb . too ! Let us suppose that he gives 3 d . per lb . for the rubbish ; and that he disposes of forty tons of the " powder-starch" in three years . He will , by these means alone , pocket the enormous sum of £ 1 , 866 . 3 s- 4 d . 1 !! He will get this , as the difference between" the price he buys the starch at , and the price he sells it for 1 and the public will have to pay him this astounding amount of money out of their poor and diminished means , for 89 , 600 pounds of an infamous and unwholesome article , mixed with that which is good when pure and alone . And the

      parties ihat practic * these things are " respectable . " They are fit to be enfranchised i They are not u ignorant" " nneducated" producers of wealth ; but they are " men of character ' I " men of weight"J ! " men of standing" ]!! Oat upon them 1 the highwayman is more honest 11 The World gives a plan by which the adulterated mixture may he detected . We are glad he has done so , and have great pleasure in extending a knowledge of it . We hope every buyer of sugar to retail amongst the working classes , will take care to test the article offered to him by the " great" dealers , before he purchases . He might as wall hive sugar for his money as starch ! The former will be more serviceable to his customers than the latter 2

      The World will be surprised , perhaps , to learn that the major portion of the article used in this adulteration , is manufactured in Ireland . There is no wonder that " it has found its way into some of the Dublin Bhops . " There is some little of it manufactured in England ; but by far the greater part , both for adulterating sugar , and , when calcined , for use at the print-works , to prevent the colours from running into-one another , is brought over from Ireland . Who it was that first commenced the practice the World now exposes , we know not ; but , whoever he ' was , he ought to be completely glued up ! .

" When you sit down to write , ^ on * t be in a hurry . Consider that hurried writing makes slow printing . Remember that we go to press on Thursday ; that one side of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are obliged to go on filling up the paper the whole

      week , and that , therefore , when a load of matter comes by tie last one or two posts , it unayoidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it is therefore necessary to be prompt in your communications .

      DsBBY . - ^—The friends of this neighbourhood having communications for the SUr , or otherwise affecting the Chartist movement , are . rt > quested to send them to Mr . Thomas Briggs , care of Mr . John Moss , shoemaker , Plumptre-square , Darley-lane ^ Derby . Mohey Orders to this Office , —Our cashier is frequently node to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend toi by the negligence of parties to attend to the plain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Aedill . Seme orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connor— $ oni « to Mr . Hobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star O&ce : all these require the

      signatures of the person in whose favour they are drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at the post-office of ' , sometimes , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly given—not to mention the most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to knovo better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , bep that all parties having money to send to the Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Abdill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound lo attend to them ; if , therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .

      Thomas Hurst . —The reason why we had not a longer report of the late Slave meeting at the Leeds Music Hall arose from the fact that no information was given to us that " the people " intended to be present , and take a part in it . It was by the merest accident that our Publisher heard of the meeting , and was therefore enabled to be present . Had the necessary information been afforded to us , the Reporter in the office would have had instructions given to him to attend . As it was , he had not , nor could he have any such instructions . He did learn accidentally of the meeting , and hurried to it as soon as his other engagements permitted ; but got there just in time to see the close , the absence of our Reporter was matter of great regret , and steps were taken at the time to remedy

      »/ . Before the meetinq dispersed the Reporter present who had taken notes of the proceedings , was offered any sum he liked to charge for a full report , for the ^ Star . He refused to let vs have it , giving what appeared to him to be a sufficient reason for such refusal . Thus were we left without report , except a short descriptive one furnished by one of the speakers at the meeting It often happens thai that which is the most obvious of all duties , gets neglected , or forgotten . In this case , it was clearly the duly of the friends , when they had come to a determination to attend , to apprise us of such intention ; but u what is everybody ' s business is nobody ' s business ; " and thus things gel neglected . We do not blame any one for this omission ; we enly stale the fact in explanation , and to obviate any such omission in future .

      A Lovbb of Justice , anxious to see our Whigmade toidows and orphans above the reach of that grinding poverty which they have loo long been allowed to suffer under , writes : — ' ¦ " I think the following an easy mode whereby such a desirable object may be attained , without being materially felt by any portion of our numerous body;—Oar Association now extends to about 3 C 0 localities , many of which localities have several hundred members belonging to them , and others have but few . Now I would propose that each

      locality should contribute , weekly , a sum , varying according to its number of members , say all under twenty-five members to pay Id . per week ; above twenty-five and under fifty , 2 d . per week ; above fifty and under a hundred , 4 d . per week ; and so on in proportion , reckoning 2 d . for every fiffy members . This would produce , I think , a sum ef from £ 4 to £ 5 per week , which wonld raise those unfortunate sufferers above the uncertainty of public subscription , which at best is but a sorry source to be dependent on .

Williax Ironmonger writes us in explanation of a portion of his speech at the late mason ' s meeting in Bath , which he says has been misconstrued by some of the members of the Operative Masons London Trade Society . He begs to say that the statement alluded to was never intended to apply to any portion of their society . The words in question read thus : — "At last a soeiety of blacks was formed , and Allen thought he shoahi be supported by that body ; but he would find that the job would not be completed by other than Society men . ' " The society of blacks , " Mr . Itays , '' was not formed till long after the above society had been kindly solicited lo take

      our places , and had mist manfully refused ; and I have many limes declared , both in public and private , the noble and manly part their society has taken in the struggle . " Mb .

      STOCKPOET . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS OVER THE CORN LAW REPEALERS . On Tuesday evening , a large and crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Stockport was'held in the Court House , convened by the Mayors in abedience to a request of several influential members of the Stockport anti-Corn Law Afcsociaiibn , to address her Majesty , and petition both Houses of Parliament for a total abolition of the Corn and Provision Laws . |

      The Mayor occupied the chair ; and , after opening the meeting with a few observations , and reading the placard , he called upon soino speaker to propose the first , resolution . Henry Marsland , Esq ., M . P . for the-.. Borough , rose for that purpose ; and * after scanning at some of the leading Chartists , who occupied seats near him upon the platform , he introduced a motion to the effect—that , lameuung the prevailing distress in the manufacturing uisiricts , it attributed that distress mainly to / the urrjust ' taxes oil corn and provision . He dwelt , upon the injustice of all monopolies , particularly upon food ; and called for the union of all classes of bociety for the purpose of remcdy ' mg the distresses under which the labouring DODulation laboured .

      Sir Ralph Pendleburt , Knight , one of tho auti-Corn Law League , seconded the motion with great confidence . Ha was delighted to see tha spirit , w-th which the question had been taken up by thfi public , and the progress it had madeupon all classes , . ;< The manner in which the anti-Corn Law Bazaar had bten supported on that and the preceding ; day was very satisfactory ; indeed , he had to wait haU ' -an-iiour before ho could possibly obtain admission to the Theatre where the bazaar was held . It would sinkn the government of this country with dismay . They could not much longer withhold from tho people their undoubted rights . ( Hear . ) The same government had denied the franchise to Manchester , Birmingham , aridXeedsr- '

      but what was the consequence ? Whytne ' passing of the Reform Bill . There would be > . u . ch » pressure in Parliament this session on the question of the Corn Laws , that Sir Robert Peel could-not detiy the country an instalment "' towards Tepeal , and by t » f nuXfc session they would be enabled to get more than they wanted .. ' All were alive to the gross evils of the protective syBtem , and the encouragement of laws which precluded us from the advantage ? of reciprocity and free trade with other countries who are desirous of taking our goods iu exchange for their productionp . He had the other day commissioned a friend of his in Liverpool to procure hira a cask ot Sontk A mericaa pork and another of beef . It had arrived in Stockport ; the price of the article was threehalfpence per pound , but the prohibitory diisies had rai&ed the cost to threepence per pound . Now

      this was a great evil to preclude good wholesome food from coming into this country except at rates equal to to the original cost of the article . He could assure them that the meat was capital and as good as any meat men need require . He had now a piece of the bacon hanging np in his larder ready for use , and a particular friend of his who had taskd the meat had pronounced it excellent ! But the operation of the provision laws , by excluding good meat from other countries , kept the price of beef , &fl . in this country at a rate utterly beyond the reach of the labouring classes . He wanted free trade in , beef and other provisions , and everything el-fe , and hoped that the working men had suffered bo much by the pre > sent distress , which bad arisen from the Corn Laws , that they were now prepared to join heart and hand with the middle olass to abolish the Corn and Provision Laws . : ¦ ¦ ¦ . .

      Mr . Thomas Clarke , a Chartist , was as anxious as any man for > union and a reconciliation between tke labouring and the middle classes for the . obtain ? , ment from the Legislature of justice to all . They had been too long divided ; but it was equally evident that nothing could be beneficial to tha nation unless it had the cordial co-operation of the toiling millions . ( Hear . ) To prove his real desire for union , ha would suggest that the proposition wliich he intended to introduce , should be tacked to the motion , and not be brought forward as a distinct and separate matter as an amendment , the latter being in fact the cause and the origin ; the motion being the effeot . In the absence of Universal Suffrage , bad laws had been made , of which the Corn Law was one . Had the people had a voice in making these laws , the evils complained of by the Houour-

      Untitled Article

      ble Member for Stockport , would not now have existed . Therefore , the abse » ce of political power to the people was the the cause of the distress ; and the Corn Laws , which he disapproved of as mnoh as any man , were the effect . ( Hear , ) All that h 6 desired was that in the proposition which is tobo the voice of this meetin g to Parliament , the cause should precede the effect—S that was acceded , the union of both classes was at once effected . He proposed " that while we deprecate the Corn Laws as being unjust and oppressive , we consider them to be the effects of the same cause which brought into existence the New Poor Law , the Coercion Bill , the Rural Police , and a variety of other bad laws ; and , further that we are of opinion that there will be no change that

      will permanently benefit the peoplo until they get political power through the adoption of the People ' s Charter as the law of the land . " ( Cheers . ) ^ fhii he wished to go before the resolution of Mr . Mara-Iarids . He concluded by calling upon his friend , Mr . Doyle , the future representative of this district in the National Convention , to second the motion . Mr . Dotle , on risiHg , was received with much applause . His speech , which occupied nearly an hour in delivery , was an exposition of some of the leading fallacies of the day , and Was in effect an able and well-digested address upon political economy , taking in his course the principal grievances which militated against the comforts of the people , and the property or the nation , until he arrived at the

      climacteric and the panacea- for all our political evils and imperfections—namely , the principles of the People ' s Charter , and the indisputable right of every man , Who is expected to obey the laws , to have an uninfluenced voice in the making of them . Mr . Coppock endeavoured to reply to the different points adduced by Mr . Doyle , but \ o lost his way . He termed the cry for other remedies than that of the Corn Laws " " herring trails , " to divert : the people from the real scent . He repudiated the idea of cultivating , waste lands , on account of the great expence ; money would have to be raised at seven percent ., while the Speculation would not yield in return two and a half . He declared himself

      disappointed in the Reform Bill , and amongst those who betrayed the people , he said the Jate Henry Hunt was conspicuous for having retained the rights of freemen . Ho said he was favourable to an extension of the suffrage , and would go with them if they would only help the Ceru Law repealers . ( Cries of " Wo've been done once . " ) He said he had great confidence in the working people of Stockport , and hoped they would not be led astray by their illjudgedand indiscreet leaders . (" Oh !") He admitted that the repeal of tho Cprii Laws would not raise wages , but it would reduce the price of bread { and trusted in the co-operation of the people in the obtainment of this great political right .

      Mr . A . Campbell endeavoured to conciliate the two propositions , and told the Chartists if they did not unite they might lose all , : Mr . Clarke said he was willing to meet the meeting half way . If they would support his proposition , he would support theire . The want of Universal Suffrage . Was the grand caueeof all . The principles of himBelf and party were " Universal Suffrage , aad no eurrender . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Dotlk expressed himself in similar terms . The Chairman having conferred with the leaders of the repeal party , saw there Was no probability of a reconciliation , and therefore he should put the motions . . ¦' . . "¦ ' : ¦ '¦ ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ ¦¦ - "' . '¦ ¦' .. ' " ¦'¦ - ¦•¦ '¦ . "¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ '

      After some delay , on the sViow of hands , the Mayor said he felt himself placed in a very uncomfortable situation . He Was most anxious to acknowledge the truth . He , however , - ; . decided , that the motion of the anti-Corn Law party was lost , and thereupon declared the meeting disolyedv : The Chartists gave three cheers for their victory ; three for the Cnairman ; and three for the Charter . After which the meeting separated . HURRU 1 FOR THE CHARTER !

      WaiTEHAVENi- BaUTAL AND OuTRAOEOP * Attack , on the Socialists in Whitehaven . —It is with feelings of a very painful kind , that we have to record , a series of enormities , practised towards the Socialists , Which for savage brutality arid coldbloodedntss , we have seldom or ever known to be equalled ; —more especially in this boasted age of ciyilisation . VVe have no desire in this instance ; to pause for a moment , to enquiro into tho doctrines propounded by the Soiialists ; if they are good , they will stand the test of reason , if otherwise , they will be soon repudiated and rejected , by all rational and good men . Surely thiais amply sufficient to secure the well-being of society , without reference to the

      savage and difgraoeful process of driving their advocates from their lecture rooms and their houses , by a ruthless gang of ruffians , who , in this instance , muss have been the tools of othera , mord cunning and designing than thbmselves ; for we ca , nnbt believe that these rufflanfl could have any opinion on the matt r . We will aow give a simpla but correct recital of what really took place ; On January the 8 ch , Mr ; Buchanan , from Glasgow ^ purposed giving a lecture in the Socialists' Hail , Whitehaven . Mr . Buchanan arrived on the Sunday evening , When a few-friends met him at the room , when the firs ; attempt at a riot coinmencod , headed by a fellow named Loouey , a potter . This gavethe first alarm '; on Monday night , the' $ ocialtat 9 ; mustered , and had ii

      scarcely got lighted up , when the uproar beg ^ . A desperate attempt -was made to force an friiraiict ) into the room . This Was resisted for some time with giccess , some of the socialists getting ugly blow ^ in tho fac " , from fists , sticksand stones , the last of which thrown was so large , that it was thought no longer prudent to resist ; accordingly the entrance was toroed . It was then a complete Bedlam ; all Went rapidly to destruction ; tho lights were put oiit , blinds torn down , forms smashed , and every thing broken up , that could be broken . The women were unusually violent , a tauatical nest of . whqai , the Socialists had unluckily got amongst . Some of the Socialists got out and w etit for the police , but they would not come , though one of them > vns atahding

      within the heiring of the yells , and he had been solicited to attend the night bofore , but refused . The men who went out were knocked down , kicked , and shamefully bruised , and othera of the party , females as well , all cama iu for a sharo ot ill usage some of them to a degree that they will sever racover from the effects . Mr . " Buchanan luckily escapod , not being known . A methodist clasps leader was the first to attempt to strijftt vhe feet i ' roca under one o * the Socialists , the one who was woi > t us . e'di a Mr . Tijompsou ; this methodist w&b actually reproved by oae of his cla 3 s , and . he fell back . Mr . Thompson wdiilu have been sacrificed but for his wife clinging around Lim . The police officer came up at last aud siid , " you ha . ve him

      now ^ iven enough , give over now for my sake , " but not a niitn nor boy was apprehended . Mr . Thompson was with difficulty got homo by his wife , and the ( , - fBcer never appeared to befriend him , bus merely helped him homo . A man who was formerly diacliargcd from the police for laansku&htcr , named KichoJson , and who has been before employed iu leadiug riots , was soon outside urging the crowd ^ on , telling them the police would not interfere . Nexc morning . Mr . Buehaiiaii left , audit was thought all was over , but at night tVie mob mustered and proceeded from one socialist ' s house to another . Mr . Thompsoiv ' s they '' attempted to set fire to , and a Mr . Moore's they bvoke in the door , and threw In . gome straw and two pounds of uu ' . ipdwdcr , which however windowti

      was fortunately got out again ; all the wcro broken in each house ; others they visitad but did , no . more damage that night . The . socialists daml not to stir out ; the cry was " no law for the socialist—the socialists are outlaws ! " This night they ast-ernbled opposite the house of a Mr . Wilson , yelling ¦ and commencing breaking the windows . The polico did at last stop them . Next day two of the socialists waited upon Hey wood , the , suporintendent of poh < e , for redrcsg . He said they should have none , and the people might do what they liked to them . To Mr . Thompson he eaid " are . you Thompfoa , let tee see your face ; you aro a . damned rascal . " A more diabolical outrage we have eelcom heard of . and yet this has been committed under the immediate eyes of the police-force—where is the boasted liberty of Englishmen , when their homes are to bo invaded , their property destroyed , and their lives put in jeopardy by a gang of hired ruffians ! Aro thp

      socialists to be thua driven from their homes , and put without the , pale of tbe law , and rendered the prey of a parcel of cold-blooded ruffians , anu all this allowed to bo carried oh under the immediate surveiUence of the magistrates and the police-force ? Why have hot these conservators of the public peacej and protectors ( as they ought to be ) of the liberty of the subject , not instituted an inquiry into these horrible enormities ? We hope the Secretary of State will bo written to bp the subject , wuh ^ a vieW to cause a searching investigation into ^ the whole affair . If this is not done , then there is no law to protect the liberty of the subject . —Correspondent . [ We give the above as we have receiye . d it from a correspoader t whom we well know . Or course wo do not vouch as to th « truth of the allegations respecting the conduct of the police , butsay that if their conduct is correctly described , it is high time that an enquiry into the whole of the circumstances took place . —Eb .
