TO MR JAMES H . BE 1 LBY . Sia , —In tho Birmingham Journal of last week I find ' . he following bit : — " >' B- James H . Beilby am > Mb . Feasgvs O'Cok-NOU . —A correE-ponsjent mforms us that , in the books of the leading-room ilr . Feargus O Connor appears as a visitor , introduced by Mr . James H . Beilby- The inter-Change of compliment between th » Toryand tbe Chartist is carious and Instructive . " Until 1 saw the above paragraph I wa 3 ignorant of the name » f the gentleman to whom I owed my thanks for an act of conrte 3 y . The circumstance to
which the paragraph refer ? is of so old a date as probably to have escaped your memory . I beg here to remind voh that while at Birmingham ( I thiuk in 1838 ) , I wished to procure a volume of the Mirror of Parliament for reference , and called at the readitig-room for that purpose . Being a stranger , I was missing my way , and by chance arrested your attention , 1 asked you if I could procure adaission to the library as a stranger , when you kindly and politel y introduced me , and THEN asked my name , for the purpose of complying with a lula which requires the insertion in a book of the names of strangers iatrodueed .
Sir , such is the charge of the polite Editor of the Birmingham Journal , who now has my best thanks for having afforded me an opportnm-y of thanking \ ou by name for your courtesy . The Editor informs his Tead- ? T 3 that you are a Tory ; while I assure him that the bare mention of the act of politeness would have convinced all that you were not a Whig . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , Feahgl-s O'Cosaou . London , April 13 A .

BUBHAIff & HEWCASTIiE Great Foot Race fob O ^ ve Hpxdbed Poujvds a Side . — Durham and Newcastle , or the sporting portion of the citizenB of each , have recently been in & high state of excitement in conseqnence of a match for a race being made between their respective champions , Atkinson of the former place , asd Scarlett , or the " Doctor , " of Newcastle . Thousands assembled to witness the race which took place on Monday , near Cbtster-le-street . The distance was a quarter of a mile . It was closely and kesnly contested for the greater part of the distance , but ultimately Atkinson began to lead his opponent , and finally woh by about five yards . The result was a great loss and " heavy discouragement" to the "Tyne side" lads , who seemed quite sure of their champion winning .
WICrilW . —Election . Tho scrutiny 13 now over ; the two parties have come to a compromise , each having one member . The sitting members are P ^ ler Greenall , Esq ., Tory ; and Charles Standish , Esq ., Whig . ASHBTJRTON , Deton . —The woollen trade still remains most dismal here ; factories are dosed , shops are shut , and no signs of any improvement . Groups of men are walking tbe streets half clad and almost starved . Daring the last nine months the wookombers bite have not had three months' work . The prospects of the labouring population are truJy pitiable and heart-rending . On Monday night last several artisans left this their native town for America , among whom many were members of the Chartist Association here , but who , on acconnt of the depressed state of trade are obliged to seek employment in other climes .
BRADFORD . — Opposition to the Nkw Poob Law , —This day is sent off from this town , petitions praying for a total repeal oi the New Poor Law , and a return to the 43 d o * Elizabeth , signed by nearly 10 , 000 persons , to be presented in the Honse of Commons , by John Hardy , Esq ., M . P ., and in the House of Lords , by the Right Hon . Earl Stanhope . Petitions also to the same effect , from ihe Ministers of the Gospel , and every township in the Bradford nnion , have been prepared . MANCHESTER . —During the last fortnight , several reductions have been made by tbe cotton masters of several firms in this town . In some instances mechanics haye been reduced as much as eight shillings—overlookers from four to five shillings—weavers two shillings a pair of looms—and all the hands in the mills in a similar ratio .
BARNSLEY . Drabbett Weavers . A rumour was afloat early this morning , ( 12 th inst ., ) that it was the intention of four of the drabbett manufacturers to reduce wages twenty per cent , upon those goods . A meeting of the weavers took place thia afternoon , on the May Day Green , and after a committee ^ iad been fermed , the meeting was adjourned until seven o ' clock at night j in the interval between the afternoon and night meetings , a depuiation waited upon Messrs . Pickles , Hydes , Wood , and Frudd , te ascertain whether it was their determination to persevere in lowering the price of labour . The answer given to the deputation , by those gentlemen , wa 3 to the effect that they had no desire to reduce wages , that wages were already too
10 w , and if the weavers themselves would not work for Other firms for anything less , tbey , the masters , would continue to pay the old prices . At the seven o ' clock meeting , which was very numerous , the following resolution was adopted by the workmen : — "That we , the weavers of Barnsley , ( in public meeting assembled , ) are determined not to work drabbttts , or any other work , at anything short of the general list prices of the town . " CHORXiE 7 . —Awful Accident . —On Wednesday , April the 6 th , the Rev . W . V . Jackson , of Manchester , delivered a lecture in the Chartist Association Room , on . the remedy for national poverty . Long before the time of lecture , the room was crowded to suffocation , and numbers could not
gain admission . Mr . Jackson was received in the most enthusiastic manner , and was introduced V ) the meeting amidst loud cheers . Tbe lecture had occupied about half an homr , and just aa he was speaking of ihe snperiorifcy of the CUarter , and the people were listening with the greatest attention , p sudden as a clap of thunder , the beams support ing the floor snapped in the middle , and the hundreds of people went down together on the ground floor , a distance of about nine or ten feet . To describe the scene that ensued would be impossible . The people were in the greatest Btate of confusion , while a cloud of dust darkened the place , and nearly
suffocated them . The Rev Gentleman , who fell upon his feet , spoke to the people to pacify them aB much as possible , and told those who were on the top of the rest to get out as soon as they could with as little injury to those under them ae possible ; they did so , and the place was cleared without any one being killed . We are sorry to say one man had his collar bone broken , and his shoulder joint dislocated ; another man ' s thighs were Berionaly injured , and a many others were slightly braised . Mr . Jackson was a little lamed in the arm and foot , and his face was rather braised . With these exceptions , no further injury wm sustained .

Brown-Itreet . —On Sunday afternoon last , there was a member * ' meeting in the Brown-street Chartist Room . Mr . Hargreaves was calied to the chair ; The first business brought forward was relativo to ihe opening of tha Carpenters' Hall to-morrow ( Sunday ) , tha Council having taken that building for the purpose of Sunday ' s lectures , inconsequence of the crowded state of the room 3 on Sunday evenings ,
owing to the rapid spread of our principles . After a short discussion , it was resolved that there be only two Ieciure 3 delivered at the opening , one in tho afternoon , and the other in the evening . The next question discussed was as to who should be appointed to driver the lectures , every one adtnittina that there w / ra lik . Jy to be large audiences , aad therefore the most prndeut to have the best talent for the occasion ; and it was subsequently agreed that ; Mr . D . Rob ? , the Lecturer en Eloentiou , and now Ch&rtist Lecutrer , ehvuld lecture hi the afternoon , aud that Mr . ¦ William-Jones , of Liverpool , and late West RiJing Lit . irsr , should leciura in the evening .

MANcmrsTEii . —A Mr . Kingston delivered an address in the Carpenters' Ha )] , on Wednesday evening , in support of tho Income Tax , and concluded by moving a resolution to the ( ffdct , that— "a return to direct taxation is a mura to sound firtt principles ; that this meetihg approves of tho ciarge upon iiicoite , and would recommend its adoption , if accompanied by a repeal of all import duties upon the necessaries of life in favour of such couttries as would take our mamifacturcB in exchange , on a fair basis of reciprocity of trade : but that nothing short of an equal representation of the people will parmaneutly prove a benefit to them . " This was secoudtd by a gentleman on the platform . . An
amendment declaring all remedial measures useless without the Charter was immediately proposed , eecoiiued , and after some discussion , carried . It was aUo resolved , on the motion of Mr . . TiUman , " that for the purpose of shewing to the country that the Chartii-td as a body are alive to their plodges , this meeting considers it right to distinctly declare , they will support no Government which will not make the People ' s Charter a Cabinet Measure . " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed , highly satisfied with the result , by giving three cheers for Frost , &c , O'Connor , the Charter , &c .

THE NEWLY ELECTED CHURCHWARDENS . To the Inhabitants of Leeds . FELLOw-ToWiNSPEOPtB , —Your suffrages having placed us in a public situation at once honourable and precarious , we employ thismedium to return you our sincere thanks for the testimony of your confidence . We are well aware that this manner of addressing the public upon such occasions is iioyelj even as the result of the recent eleotioa of churchwardens has proved to bej and it is because of the novelty of the whole matter that we thus address
ourselves to you . The local affairs of the borough have been so long in possession of ihe two donaiaant parties of Whigs and Conservatives , and these bodies beinc main ly composed of persons moving in higher spheres of life than the newrly appoiiited churohwardens , it does seem strange , and it has produced no little sensation among our worthy denizens , that these parties , with all their powerful influeuce , should be thrust aside , and working meu chosen by public voice , to take charge of the church matters of this extensive parish . _ _ . . -.
; Feilow-townspeople , it has caused a wonderful sensation , and produced no inconsiderable exhibitii / n of ill-nature on the part of our Whig-oppor nent candioates ^ a-ncl your newly-appointed churchwardeus hare un dergone a marvellous deal of abuse from theseiphort-tempered parties . « l'hi 3 we heed not—our mmd 3 had b ? en made up to : bcar with magnanimity , the petty insolence and malevolent sneers of all who should putr op their iaorious armour to attack us ; we have borne miioh odium in our political agitations , and vire positively assnre those men that in our present capacity their abuse , their jibes and misrepresentations , wiil never disturb our wonted composure , ;
But , fellow-townspeople , we must correct one false report that ; has been _ circulated by the local journals—though trifling in itself , yet to set the inhabitants riKht upon the matter , we deem it fit to ' contradict—that statement to whirth we allude , is our having resolved to suffer iacarcerration before we would lay a church-rate . Npw , fello w -townspeople , though we are as conBciehtiously opposed to compulsory support of a state ohurch as any body of men ih : Christendpin , wo imagine it would have been extremely imprudent to have determined upon our course of procedure , ere we were appointed guardians of the churc yet we candidly admit that in anticipation of that honour we expressed our individual opinioim On the . matter * * ptit there Was no formal resolutipn adopted by us upon the sabject ; some may deem this uuimpoitant , but we opine that certain parties are using this report as a handle to injure us in ihe estimation of our fellow-townsmen .
This the inhabitants may rest contented in , that during pur term of - office ,-the public will be as little iiinoyed . with demands for church-rates , ; as- 1 h the wardenship of any of our predecessors . We have thought it right to make this 6 tand , to testify to our tellow-townsmfn that the working people designated Chartists , a . re not the contemptible ¦ wretches our Whig scribblers have asserted them to "be . - ' . ¦' ¦'¦¦ ¦ : . '"''¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ . - - ¦ ¦'¦ ¦' : " . ' ¦ ¦ ¦' . '¦¦ - . ¦' . . '¦ ' .. '¦ As for their lying report of our reluetancd to take office , and being so anxious to leave it in oharge of the retiring wardens , we emphatically contradict ; the fact is , we cannot assume office until the usual oath be administered , and that cannot take place until the Archdeacon of the Dipcese
makes his annual Visitation , and the Bame important matter we Were intiinatoly acquainted with ere we were invested with office , and We may add with all the general duties of Churchwardens , though we have been taunted with ignorance by certain short-sighted , foolish ^ in diyiduals , who hold opposite political sentiments , and who catch at every method of venting their despicablo spleen upon those equally as respect ^ bie as themselves- -This is a short explanation of the mysterious matter our Whig friends ha * e had such an amazing quantity of mysterious talk regardiuff . Their other equally unprincipled insinuations we pass over unhouced . FelIow-townspeopIe , -Tln conclusion , we request withholding of judgment upon pur actions until those actions be performed ; depend upon , it , we

shall be as economical aa circumstances may permit , and we hopefully anticipate that at the conclusion of pur appointment we Bhail be enabled to jgive back our charge with credit to ourselves , with ltd * vantage to the public , and that you will acquit us of cowardice , and be constrained to ackapwleuge we have performed our duties satisfactorily to the public . , ' ;¦ :- . ¦ ' ; ' \ ..
