rTPHE great and increasing demand for Messrs . J . Crow & Tyrreli's BREAKFAST POWKEtt , and the decided preference ^ iven to it over all others where it has been once tried , at once proves it to be an artiole that has no equal in the Market . It is more healthful than Coffee ; and does not cost onethird the price . From its" sale hitherto a good round sum haa accrued to the Executive CommiUec of the National Charter Aeaooiation , to be app . ied to the furtherance of the great principles of liberty . Chartists are , therefore , in some measure , bound to purchase it : for by this means they can " kill two birds mtb one stone : " cripple the Factions' . Exchequer , and put money into their own : while they will procure an article at once nutritious and health-¦

fujusLE Chabcsis must excuse us : we have only ^ to repeal our notice of last week . We cannot give { he retiring address of local councils ; it is unreasonable to expect it . The practice once given ttay fo would bring on usa shoal of like addresses from aH parts of the country , to the exclusion of { he legitimate contents of the paper . TJsightos Gotten , must take the same answer . f A-, M ^ SCHESSfiE . —Ejflremes , either in theory or practice , ore usually destructive to the right , even though they may purpose its establishment . It is quite true that bad laws generate oppressions and repress liberty : it is equally true that most of our laws are of this character ; but this by no _ _
means demonstrates T . A ' s apothegm , The less lav , the mere liberty" It is not so much the freest of lave as the lack of justice which has reduced us to ike condition of slaves . The Bath Chauxists ' _ Addke&s to theib Ibish . Bkezhbe ? teas received too late for publication ; and in any case , there must be some limit to the ^ uWIeafion o / " these local addresses , or , we perceive , that tee shall have scarcely anything else . We think , thai if every locality , instead of sending us for pu&Kcafioh a separate address , teoutd send its instructions to the Executive to prepare a national address , the object would be quite as u-tfluzhieved , and much space time and trouble saved . Every locality might also , if it chose , send its own address at once to the Secretary of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . This course tee must now recommend ; as we cannot
occupy ipore space with these local expressions of jraterniiy . Chvrt . ts Wesirxt . —Usually he would . Johs Pkbcivjo . —Too late for this week—shall appear in our next . Geokgk Habbison , Calteeton , must send us 3 s . for the duty of his two advertisements . Axl Lettess for Mr . John West are to be sent to the care of Mrs . Parry , news-agent , Cheapside , Derby . P . O . Higgxxs . —His letter is received ; but we have not set had time to read it . Mi . W . H- I > 5 OTT , tehile acknowledging with gratitude , on behalf of the Frish Unxtersal Suffrage Association , the liberality of his English Chartist brethren in remitting their Stars , has to remind them that as the Association is being numerically extended , the demand for Rterary aliment is proportionally increased . All lie need say , however ,
is—Lei fliose now send tcho never sent before , And those that did—why lei them send the more . Large packets of old periodicals , if not sent by pertonal favour , incur too heavy a charge for carriage—a charge in some cases amounting to one-half the original cost of the papers . EngUsh emd Scotch friends vrill therefore see the prudence of retaining large quantities of old papers till an opportunity occurs of forwarding them gratis .

Besides receiving several petitions against the Collieries' Bill , including one from females employed in mines in Scotland , the ** Honse" was chiefly employed in discussing the Drainage ( Ireland ) Bill in a Committee , which passed through that stage after-a division . The re-committal of the Collieries' Bill was postponed till Monday , and it seems now very unhkelj that it should pass this session .

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuesday , July 19 . The Honse was occupied the principal part of the CTening with the Poor Law Amendment Bill . - Sir JaX £ S Gxaha : m announced that at the late period which the session had now reached , it - the intention of Government to press onlj the early clauses ( wMch are those relating to the continuance and powers of the Commission ) , together with some miscellaneous provisions , relating principally to casual poor and lunatics , and to the qualifications and poweis of guardians . In the next Bession , the Government , he said , would introduce a fresh bill , embodying the clauses now to be dropped . Considering this altered ftate of things , he hoped that gentlemen opposite would forbear from insisting on the amendments of which ther had given notice .
Mr . Sharman Crawford's amendment , to give the Irish Poor Law Commissioners power to grant outdoor relief , and Mr . Fielden ' s amendment , that the Bill be no farther proceeded with till a full inquiry has been made into the effects of the law on the condition of the working classes , were both lost by large majorities . A great number of the clauses of the Bill were struck out by the Ministers , and the remainder were assented to , after some opposition and Borne divisions . The House afterwards diseuBsed the Australia Bill in Comjniueej and adjourned io two o ' elock .

HASXiIHr . —Ose mose tictim added to the ESCAJLCETUTSD CHARTISTS AT STAFFORD . The COlliers * strike stil continues in the Staffordshire Potteries , and the men . are as determined as they were on the first day ' s resistance to their odious taskmasters * reduction . One of these masters ( R . E . Heatheote ) belongs to the pseudo liberal gentlemen called Whigs . Thi 3 paragon of virtue , patriotism , and benevolence , who boasted of his love for the rights and liberties of the whole people at the last election , has been one of the first to tffer the reduction of sixpence per day , increasing their amount of labour , and depriving them of what the miners techiiically call their " burning coal . " They have conllnned up to the present moment very peaceable ,
although it is stated that ten thousand diners have organised themselves to withstand the proposed reduction . No disturbance was anticipated up to Friday last . Two troops of yeomanry from the ; counties of Stafford and Cheshire , and the 12 th regiment of Foot were paraded from Newcastlennder-Lyne , in physical force array , by the order of , twelve magistrates , one of whom ( R . E . Heathcote , j Esq- ) was the party against whom the colliers had resisted , ihns showing that the very power which j h&dredoeed th » hire of the labourer is the power that is attempting to subjugate them to their own wjliaad caprice . What she men . want is a reason- [ «> le 4 entand , vii . four shillings per day and nine ; ^>« apei ii » y laboinr , and theor burning coaL "— fteadntions have been passed to-day against receiv- j

The bii- j « ary ,- » they entered the town of Hanlej ( the awttujfoiiB Of t £ e Potteries ) were received with cheers , while the cavalry were received with groans loud and deep , as they passed through the dense i mass of miners who had just concluded a public ' meeting . The cavalry formed themselves in lines ,: and the infantry in squares , while the cavalry were j forming , the masses rapidly accumulated , and set ' Qp dreadful groans for the magistrates , who were ' encircled b ? the crowd , amongst whom were men of iD political grades ; but the Chartists rapidly ; increasing , seemed to have the predominance , and i on the spot was given , three cheers for the People's ; Charier .

* rict , maddened by this act , pointed ont a worthy , quiet , aad respectable member of our association , ( Mr . Sale ) and told ¦ hiT . be would set a mark upon him . A Chartist meeting being held on Thursday evening last , Mr . Edward Sale was there in attend * anc ? f when some boys hurled some stones at the cavalry . Parties being charged that were innocent , Mr . 5 » le protested against their guilt . Mr . Sale ' s name was then asked for , and they wished to know why he interfered . The lads were set at liberty in consequence of his protestation . When leaving the parties , he was told they would mirk him ; and on Sunday , July 17 th , while looking at the soldiers on the Pottery Race Course , which they had made for a barracks , Mr . Baily Rose , and Cotterill the policeman , spied him out from amongst the crowd
at four o ' clock , escorted him to Newcastle-under-Lyne , witha body of cavalry , and at five o ' clock , was examined at the station , by Mr . Smith Child , the then sitting magistrate , and at six o ' clock , committed to Stafford for misdemeanour ; the evidence being given-by foHr of the cavalry and one of the policemen " . It is said that many of the Chartist leaders are marked out to be pursued in the same manner , and tried by the same military tribunal . Chartist meetings will be legally heid throughout the Potteries to collect funds to defend Mr . Sale , and to forward the cause . The depositions have been obtained from the Newcastle authorities , and Mr . Williams of itoke-upon-Trent , has been engaged to defend Mr . E . Sale at Stafford Assiz 3 s , which commence on Thursday next , ( July 21 J when he is to be tr . ed .
GATESHEAD . —The middle classes of Gateshead got up a requisition to the major to convene a public-meeting , to consider the distress of the unemployed workmen , which was held in the Town Hall , on Monday , the 18 ih , at noon . George Sowerby , Esq . mayor , " in the chair , three resolutions were adopted which did great credit to the gentlemen who brought them forward . A committee were then appointed and subscriptions were entered into , when in less t ' aan half an hour about £ 110 weresubsorib .- d and work marked out for them to do , which will be commenced immediately . Wo-believe it is intended
to give married men with families , two shillings per day , ajQd Ei ' ngle men one shilling and sixpence each . It was anticipated that the gents intended converting the meeting into a political one , and working men attended in case it should , bat there was no other attempt made , than by one gentleman , who suggested that the Government should be petitioned to to repeal the corn and provision laws , when Sinclair suggested tha Charter as the most efficient means-of ameliorating the condition of the people . The ; mayor protested against the Charter being introduced , and Sinclair protested against the corn law humbugs , and it so ended .
THIRSK . —Magistrates' Room , Monday , Jult 18— Magistrates present , W . Rutson and J . S . Crompton , Esqs . John Atkinson , James Atkinson , William Allison , John Appleton , Thomas Johnson , and John Proud , all of Thirsk and the immediate neighbourhood , and John Kirk and Henry Atkinson , who did not appear , and for whose apprehension warrants were issued , were charged with violently assaulting , by beating with stioks and otherwise , Clmstophtr Kirby and George Kirby , of KirkliDgton . It appeared , from the evidence adduced , that early on Wednesday morning last , being Saudhutton feast , the eight persons charged had gone into the house of Mr . John Goodrick * of that place , innkeeper , with the evident intention of creating a row , and commenced by taking up a pot of ale belonging to the complainants , who were there sitting and drinking it off amongst them : and on the owners of
the liquor expressing their dissatisfaction , they were set upon by the whole gang of ruffians , and most savagely and unmercifully beaten and maltreated : at the same time they broke and demolished a great part of the furniture , pots , glasses , &c . These facts being clearly established , they were convicted in a penalty of £ 2 and costs each , or six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction . Another charge against the aboTo defendants ( with the exception of John Proud ) was heard , in which it was proved that they had most brntally assaulted William Elliss about -an hour previous to the above , in the Bame house ; and John Appleten was convicted in a further penalty of £ 2 , or an additional month's imprisonment , and the other defendants in £ 1 asd costs each , or a fortnight ' s additional imprisonment . The delinquents paid the fines , with the exception of William Allison , who was taken to Northallertoufor two months .
Queen ' s Letter . —On Snnday last , in accordance with the Queen ' s letter , a sermon was preached iu the parish oinrch of Tbirsk , by the Rev . S . Coatee , in which , after discoursing right eloquently on that most excellent , gift of charity , the Rev . Gentleman plainly showed his hearers how much he was imbued with the spirit that " thiuketh no evil , i 3 kind , and rejoiceth ia tha truth , " by saying that the distress at present so prevalent amongst the working classes , was ** a visitation from God upon them for their sins" — thnB declaring all the poor to be vioious , and by implication , of course , all the rich virtuous . ( Here i& a sample of the charity of the Church . ) At the same time he told his hearers that they ought not to withhold their charity even from the wicked . A collection was made which amounted to £ 13 . 14 s . 6 d . A week or two since the collection at the annual missionary meeting was £ 164 10 s .
ZnAKCHESTER . —Brutal Condbct op the j Police . —On -Saturday afternoon , a poor lad was [ coming up Ashura-stteet , Bank-top , with a wheel-I barrow , selling sand , when he was charged with ; taking a string of beads from the neck of a child . i Thejad declared that he was innocent . The police-; man searched his _ person , and the wheelbarrow in : which he had his sand , but without success ; no | beads were to be found ; but , notwithstanding , the I policeman took him into custody amid the execrai tions of the-people , who had collected together , and ; witnessed the whole affair . A poor man , named : James Moor , who keeps a small coal-yard , on the i opposite side of the street , said that he ( the ' police-¦ man ) wanted- to make some money by the job . This
was sufficient provocation to warrant thia jack-inofnee to draw his bludgeon , and , in a most brutal manner , srrike the poor fellow upon his head , and various parts of his body , antil the blood ran down his face and neck . He then drsg ^ ed him to the station , were he remained from Saturday afternoon until Monday moraing , when he was brought before the magistrates , and the policeman prepared a charge of assault ag&inst him . Afcer a patient heariDg . the magistrates dismissed the case ; and thi 3 is all the justice that a poor maa is to have for being abused and imprisoned for the crime of speaking in the street , when he sees a fellow-being unjustly treated . On Sundat Evening last , as Mr . Gabriel
Hargrave 3 and another gentleman were walking up Greggon -street , a policeman came out of a publichouse in a state of intoxication . Mr . Hargraves ' a friend remarked—•* There is one of Sir Charles Shaw's men in a fine condition . " The policeman hearing this remark , without further ceremony struck a blow at Mr . Hargraves , which that gentleman fortunately warded off . The policeman then drew out his truncheon , and again aimed a blow at Mr . Hargraves . By this time a great number of people had collected together , and the policeman , still determined to chastise Mr . Hargraves ,
continned striking at him with his truncheon , which he escaped by waiking backwards , and the policeman being so tipsy he could not accomplish his object . As he wa 3 making a blow , Mr . Hargraves slipped to one side , and succeeded in taking his truncheon from him , which he took to the police-effice , accompanied by several respectable individuals who had witnessed the whole of the policeman ' s conduct , and gave in the truncheon and the policeman ' s number . He was then given to understand that he wonld be required to appear against the policeman and make good his charge , but up to the present time ( Wednesday ) he has not been called upon to do so .
BBADPOED . —Rape and abducton . —On Monday , Abraham Lightowler , coal hawker , was charged by the constable of North Bierley , with having committed a rape on the pirson of Martha Robertsr aged 16 years . From the evidence gone into , it appeared that the offence was committed on Friday last , in a hay field , that on the game evening she was consigned to the care of a relative to appear against the prisoner on Monday , ( he having been taken on Friday . ) that at an early hour on Monday morning the house was entered by the chamber window , and the girl was abducted therefrom , and bad not since been heard of . From the character of the connections of the prisoner , reasonable fears rnsy fee entertained for th 9 personal safety of the girl . Th # prisoner was remanded till search could be made for her .
LOUGHBOEOTJGH . —Diabolical Outrage . —On Saturday night , or early on Sunday morning , some evil disposed person or persons , placed in the room occupied by the Chartists , at Longhborough , a piece of wood , eleven inches long , and four and ahalf , square , in which they had bored a hole , and deposited half a pound of gunpowder , plugging it down , and making a fuse-hole in the side . They then bud a train , and fired it ; but fortunately it did not go off . It was discovered on the Snnday morning , and on Mr . Skevingtonbeing informed of it . he immediately sent for Mr . Hague , Inspector of Police , to whom the instrument of destruction was given , together with pieces of cotton used for candle-Frick , which were found in different parts of the room and yard , partly burned . The landlord of the room also cams in , in whose hands and the police tha matter at present rests .

Cooper had been repeatedly invited , but could not before find time to comply with the invitations . Mr . Cooper preached on Sunday afternoon in Ko 3 ooe
Fields to a very large audience , upon whom he made a deep impression . —In the evening , Mr . Cooper preached a funeral seimon on tho death of the late lamented patriot Samuel Holberry . —Mr . C . preached an excellent discourse to an assembly nearly double the number of the afternoon meeting . The sum of £ 1 7 s . 10 J . waa collected for Mrs . Holberry . —Monday , July 18 th . —The Town Hall had been engaged for Mr . Cooper for the delivery of a lecture therein . By halt-past seven o ' clock the Hall was crammed iu every part , and it waa with no small difficulty that admission for Mr . Cooper was obtained ; some thousands congregating in the streets who could not get admission . On Mr . C . presenting himself , ho was received with the moat
tremendous and enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Harney then moved the adjournment of the meeting to tht Haymarket , which was agreed to . Here a glorious gathering assembled . Mr . Cooper spoke for nearly two hours , delivering a . soul-stirring address , interrupted only by the repeated plaudits of his hearers . At the conclusion of Mr . Cooper's address , the whole meeting sung in gallant Btyle , — " We ' ll rally around him again and again , " a song in praiso of the people ' s champion , Feargos O'Connor . Three cheers were then given for the Charter ; three for O'Connor , and three for Cooper , when tne meeting separated . Mr . Cooper enrolled one hundred and fifteen new members on Sunday night , and would undoubtedly have enrolled a still larger number on Monday night , but that darkness prevented an
attempt being made ; as it was , a considerable number followed Mr . Harney home , and enrolled themselves that night-. Air . Cooper has done an incalculable amount of good for the cause in Sheffield 5 the feeling in his favour is enthusiastic in the extreme . A few more workers like him , and the days of oppression would be numbered , and slavery would wither and die . Tuesday . July 19 : h . —A meeting of the members was hold iu the Fig Tree Lane Room . Mr . Worstenholine was called to the chair . Mr . Harney read the leading article of that day ' s Morning Sun , giving a faithful picture of the imbecility , treachery , and tyrauny of the middle classes . Mr . H . commented at great length upon the Editor ' s remarks , and was followed by Mr . Samuel Farkes , who delivered a most effective address . The room
was crowded in every part , and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed . Our Association is dow seven hundred strong ; and , though we are far below the Shakspereaus of Leicester , yet we hope to beat them yet , having increased five hundred in about a month , which is not so very bad , considering what a Whig-ridden town this haa been . Four things are needed to be done ^ and all will be well . First , numbers , overwhelming numbers , must be enrolled in our Association ; second , those numbers must be efficiently organised ; third , everything
in the shape of violent or foolish language must be sternly discountenanced and put down ; and , fourth , the mask must be torn from the face of hypocrisy , and every trimming humbug must be exposed , 3 nd driven from our ranks . H these things are done , the people ' s salvation will be in their own hands , and they may speedily and for ever burst their fetters . One word of advice . Let no other part of the country look to Sheffield to do the work of national redemption ; Jet each locality look to itself . Sheffield will do its own work : let every other
place do likewise . Mrs . Holbebry .- —Mr . Harney has received IO 3 . 8 d . from the Christian Chartists of West Bromwich , for the benefit of Mrs . Holberry . Eleven shillings was the amount collected ; the order cost 3 d ., the pOBtage Id ., leaving 10 s . 8 d . balanco . Mr . Harney has paid the above to Mrs . Holberry , who returns her gratefnl thanks . Note . —All monies collected in or received at Sheffield daring the present month will be published in the Star of the 6 th of August next . Hetwoob . —Mr . James Cartledge , of Manchester , delivered a lecture on Sunday last , in the Chartist Room here .
LONDON . —Rising Sun , Oxford-Street , Stepney . —Mr . Illingworth addressed a large assembly here on Sunday evening ; Mr . Shaw ably filled the chair ; Mr .

Ridley and Wheeler moved they should be allowed only a quarter of an hour each . The Eev . Gentleman would not consent to this . Mr .

Mr . Steele ( Head Repeal Warden of Ireland ) then rose to propose the next resolution , and was greeted with loud cheering . He said—In the courae of my political life , I never with more pleasure moved a resolution than the one I hold in my hand —( heap . ) a tide of thought ruahea on my eonl at thia moment by reaaon ot the many gubjects on which I might choose to address my brother Repeal Wardens in this wardmote—the Repeal itself , the antf-slavery question , the income tax , the new , noble , and peaceful Chartist movement in England , under Joseph Sturge , as contra-distinguished from Feargusism , the Chartirai of tha cowardly miscreant incendiary Peargus 0 'Conuwr —( hear , hear , hear ) . In tte Slurglte inoTement O'Connell is not only a member of the provisional
council , but as a lawyer he is the "Counsellor O Connell " of tfae Complete Suffrage Union , as perfectly as he was ever the " Counsellor O'Connell" of the Irish people In their legal , peaceful , and constltutloraV confllot . I shall , however , restrict myself to the subjeat of the resolution —( hear , bear ) . And now , in order that ire may understand each other cleaily , I wiah to t © U you ttat I approve of Royalty , because my great leader , the moral regenerator , O'Connell , haa invented an ethereal system of political warfare , not only more sanctified , but more potent than the pike and the sword —( tremendous cheering . ) But when we remember the glorious spirit of justice to our oppressed country , Ireland , to our " own loved Island of sorrow , " evinced ever since she came to her throne by our benign and beloved
sovereiga lady , Queen Victoria , what would Irishmen be but recreants to honour , to gratitude , and to manhood , unless our millions were as ready as our leader , O'Connell himself , to pour out their heart ' s blood for her safety if it were necessary , as well a 3 forming themselves into a police to keep vigilant surveillance over all plots and conspiracies against her life , which ¦> God , in his divine mercy , preserve against her enemies—( hear , hear . ) Oh 1 what a glorious woman ! under the guidance of the illustrious , royal liberal , her uncle , the Dake of ; Subscx , she was Inspired by tha moat resplendent spirit of constitutional liberty ; and in all the private relations of life ; ao wife , mother , daughter , and friend , her character ia utter perfection . Remember her cenflict with Peel , in order
that she should not be separated from those noble ladies to ; whom she was bound by the ties of private friendship —( great cheering ) . Of another"trait of her Majesty ' s august nature , I pray permission to say a word , In -Shakspere ' s Tempest , when Prospero is spoken to of the braye son of the Prince of Milan , he replies by telling of the « more braver daughter" of that princa I take from Shakspere the form of expression , and apply It to Queen Victoria , and a " more braver daughter" than that royal lady never had royal prince since the creation of the world . Did her cheek blanch when she was fired at by Oxford ? and did she quail ,
and seek with trepidation to secure herself ! within the precincts of her royal palace in London , or to throw herself within the towers of Windsor Castle , the royal fortallce of Engiand ? No , she did . not ; but like a royal heroine , worthy of the name of Victoria , and an affectionate daughter together , she drove direct to the residence of her mother , so that , throwing ; herself upon the maternal bosom , fihe might in person give assurance that the baud of the assassin had failed in its baleful purpose . God save and protect her ! I call upon you , gentlemen , to rise and address to God , with solemnity , the national aatbein after passing the resolution . The resolution was as follows : —
" That we , the wardens of the Loyal Repeal bod ; in this metropolis , do hereby unanimously pledge ourselves never to receive Into , or suffer to remain within our association , aHy person known to entertain sentiments of disloyalty towards her Majesty ; and that we further pledge ourselves to become , from this day forth , a watchfttl body-guard for the protection of her Majesty " a sacred person , and to apprehend and deliver into the bands of the civil authorities any Individual wli » , at any time or in any place , shall dare utter in our presence sentiments disloyal to our beloved Queen , or language calculated to excite others to do bee the slightest iDjury . "—( oheers . ) , ^ Mr , Falrbrother seconded the resolution . ' ¦ ¦" ¦¦ Mr . Leie spoke to the resolution . He liked the Queen ; he would die for her ; and , indeed , next to his own wife , helovedher the most of any woman in the world —( loud laughter and cheers . )
Toe resolution was then put from the chair , and carried amid prolonged cheering . The national anthem , ' Goi Save the Queen , " was then Bunjr with enthusiastic feeling . Mr . O Gorman proposed tha fourth resolution :- — " That the foregoing re ° olutions be read at the first ward meetings of the Repealers of this metropolis , in order that all the : members thereof shall be afforded the oppwtunlty of giying to them that assent , by public acclamation , which their ardent and devoted loyalty must have convinced the world they have already given in their hearts to the sentiments they express . *' .

MR , STUBGE AND THE CHARTISTS OF NOTTINGHAM .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir ,- —In our last glorious luminary some questions wereaBfeed by" An Old Chartist , " for whose satisfaction and information I beg to reply as follows : — The Chartists of Nottingham , through the medium of your humble servant , publicly pledged Mr . Sturge to the whole ot ^ the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . It cannot be denied ttiat Mr . Sturge is of the free trade party , bMt at the same time he is opposed to the New Poor : Law Bill . . For myself , Sir , I am determined to agitate for nothing short of the principles contained in the document before alluded to ; neither the New Poor . Lay , Corn Law Repeal , Factory Question , - . or any other "inove" or crotchet , shall draw ray attention from the " one thing needful , " and which , when obtained , will put everything elBe in its proper place :
If jny friend and brother , the" Old Chartist , " had carefully read the Star , and watched the proceedings of the Chartists of Nottingham , he would have observed that no time was lost in putting a string of questions to Mn Sturge : In fact , he had not been in the town of Nottingham half an hour before the said questions were put to him , in the presence of fifteen tiiousand persons ; when , without any hesitation whatever , he declared that he perfectly agreed with ush-nsy , that he went farther than the Chartists proposed going . T am as much opposed to middle-class humbug and deceit as any man living . I have suffered sufflcteiit ah the hands of the " liberal and enlightened" middle class ; and I have strong faith tbafc the " workiea" of Nottingham will not be again entrapped into any halfand-half measures , but will steadily and stedfastly push 011 for the attainment of their political rights , let who Will oppose themw ; .
Trusting the above may prove satisfactory to our brethren in all parts of the country , I have the honour to remain , MA young Chartist" of - " Old Standing , " And , Mr . Editor , yours , respeetfnHy , - "' ¦'¦¦'¦ > - ¦ - ¦ ' : "¦ ¦ '¦; '¦ .- ¦ •¦ ¦ James Sweet ;
