reports given in by the delegates were rather gloomy aiaay of the localities have had their rooms taken from ihem on account of being charged as the originators of the late strike . This i 3 mostly tho case ¦ where the cnti-Corn Law pariy reign dominant , particularly Morley ; in this plaee many of tue masters have threatened the men , it * t ' oey take any part in ihe Chartis : agitation , they " day expect something they co no : like . " Tne 5 ch « ci-room , aiinouga it belongs to ; he rate-payers generally , has beau refused to the Chirti&ts ; other places are similar . The delegates present , however , were not anyway astonished a ; this ; they expecLed that the
Anti-Corn Law faction would , alter their own defeat , resort to every trick , no matter however low , to put the Charus £ agitation down ; but they wiil not succeed at the present cay . The delegates set to ¦ work like men * and appointed a commitite of energetic aud active men to visii each plaee and get up meetings , aud . also to &ee that speakers attend . Ihis Committee has already met and determined to commence their work lo-corrow afternoon , by visiting the Council at Weodbouse ; they will also visit the other pJaees as speeaily as possible , and endeavc-ur to cheer and rouse Weir brother Chartists to dseds more glorious and sure . The delegates also expressed that they were of opinion tnat the system or appointing classes , and collectors t-o go round for their subscriptions , wonld
be of great advantage , especially at the present , for there are those bow wha dare not be seen £ 0 go to the Cnartist Rouia , for- fear of being turned out of employment ; thsy particularly press thi 3 subject upon tne attention of the Cnariists . 'Xhe delegates agreed taai Mr . Ross , of Manchester , fihonld be engaged for this district , for a fortnight . Mr . Brook , the scretary , has written tad got answer that Mr . Ross wiil come , but cannot ma £ o it con-Tenient before the 13 th of next month , as he is engaged up to that time . The meeting , after some oiher minor business , terminated . It is to be hoped that the Chartists in this district will attend to the appointing of collectors , for it will be upon this that the means of supplying the district with lectures ¦ will mainly depend for the present , " and lecturers most be had . This is not the time to fa . li asleep .

Reported Assaxh-t a . t Wortlet . —We hare received information that the account which appeared in a contemporary print on Thursday , relative to a murderous assault said to have been committed at this place , is without foundation . The youth who was stated to have been the subject of it , confesses to having accidentally discharged the pistol himself ; and , fearful of the displeasure of his parents for having fire-arms in his possession , he fabricated tke account alluded to , in order to conceal his own fault . No imputation whatever rests upon the paper in which the account appeared , as the statement published by it was , at me time , generally believed .,

STOCKPORT . TUESDAY , FIVE P . M . The determination not to resnma labour without an advance of wages seemB to gain strength from procrastination . Several of the mills opened on Monday moraing . At some of them ( usually employing from five to eix hundred hands ) eleven or twelve persona have gone in ; thess are almost exclusively individuals ¦ who dare not refuse , such as overlookers and their families . The masters have bad recourse to all kinds of mean trickery and Intimidation in order to induce the bands to return to their employment ; but all to no purpose . One of them , I understand , bought a parcel of old shawls and bonnets to hang in the factory
windows , and set the looms a-going without warps , so that ptrsons passing by the mill , hearing the noise and seeing the apparel in the windows , might think the nandB were all at their work . Another of them having some of hi « serfs living in his houses , has threatened them with immediate expulsion , and prosecution for back rent , if they do not submit . The authorities take the most stringent measures to prevent the few knobsticks froin being interred with ; any person found doing so , ia visited ¦ with the extreme penalties o £ tUe game thit the children call " Shinty" with the frogs , law . Large and enthusiastic nit-eUugs are held daily , which are addressed by Messrs Ellison , Caiter , Wild , and Clark , all of the Chartist Association .
WOLTEKHAMPTON . The great majority of the colliers in this district still remain £ rm in their resolution not to go to work unless at an advance of wages . Numerous and various are the schemes resorted to for tbe purpose of entrapping the m- ; n , either by inducing them to go to work at the drop , or starving them out The whole of the men latterly employed in breaking stones at the Bastile , the majority of whom are colliers from Bilston , Willenhall , and Wolverharupton , were called together this morning , and presented each of them with a m > te , part printed and part written , to the following tffect : — Wolverhampton Union , Sept 14 th , 1842 .
For Mr . signature . I hereby certify that Thomas has applied to me for work , and that I have no employment for him . Signed Mr . — -. Kow , the poor distressed colliers , although they are described as a poor ignorant race of men , ( to the shame of the religion and humanity mongers be it said , ) have tufficient discernment to know that their dismissal , undtr such pretences , is nothing more than an attempt to either make them work at what wages their tjrant masters think proper to dole out to them , OT EtiTVa .
It is true a few miserable wretches , unworthy the name of men , havu tiuckled to tbe " respectables , " but they are a mere handful . Bnt , to the honour and credit of the great iunjorit 7 of the Bilston , Wolverhampton , and Willenhall colliers be it said , they are determined not to go to woik without an advance of wages . A few meao-spirited men , it appears , have bec-n before sny Lord Dirtmoth , and his Brother Magistrates and stated they have been misled by the Chartists , but the great body of the colliers ( despite of the assertions of the Woit-erhampion Chronicle and Stafforddure Examiner to the contrary , } consider the Chartists tbtir best friends .
MANCHESTER . The struggle between tha power-loom weavers and the mioufacturers slid continue with unabated vigour . Several of the stna ?; or manufacturers have ucoeded to the demands of their worfc-people , and they have consequent : y resumed wort , Eut the great majority of the weaifers are still perambulating the streets , without any immediate prospect q { the differences between them and ifaeir employers belsg amicably adjusted . In some of the larger mills a few nobsticks still remain at work , but hsre to be protected by large bodies of bluee and specia ' t .
EOROCGH-COCRT , TCESDAT , SEPT . 13 , 1842 . —This moroiag , Messrs . Tinker and Swldon appeared before Mr . Maude , the sitting magistrate ; when Mr . Beswick deputed one of his officers to inform the magistrate that he had been unable to procure any evidence against either of the defendants , upon hearing which his worship ordered them both to be discharged forthwith . In this case two respectable individuals are dragged from tbe bosom of their families and confined for ntar three ¦ weeks in a pr son , then admitted to exorbitant ball to appear upon a future day , and when that day arrives , they are gravely told that they are discharged for want of evidence . Truly , this ia a beautiful specimen of British jurisprudence .
A report reached Manchester this morning that a fierioua disturbance had taken place in Slaleybridge ; detachments of both cavalry and iiifantry were dispatched to that neighbourhood , but we have not , as yet , heard whether their services have been required to quell the tumult
MEETING OP THE "WEAVERS AT DROTLSDEN . A meeting of this body from Ashton , Dukinfield , Stockport , Manchester , and the surrounding towns , was held in the open air this forenoon , to take into consideration tbe best steps to be taken to get tbe hands out that have commenced working in two mills in Staley Bridge . There could not be less than 10 , 600 persons present . Tbe authorities having received information , a special train was dispatched from Manchester with a strong detachment of the foot guards to Ashton , an A about h * lf-pa « t one ia the afternoon , Mi . Superinten dent Sawtey , with a large force of blue * and specials ,
were ordered to proceed towards DroyUdsn ; they bowevtr took np their position on tbe banks of the Reser voir belonging to the Manchester and Salfeid water works company , situate in Beswick near Holt Town , but having no opportunity of displaying their prowess upon the heads of the people who hold them in supreme contempt , the blues amued themselvoa by raining after buttei flies , and the specials exercised themselves in the knocking the poor little animals from one to the other with their bludgeoms , and thus terminated the glorious campaign , so far as our borough was concerned . This is literally a fact—CorrMpondtst
We have been informed that the meeting adjourned from Droylsden to Ashton , bat u soon as they entered the town , they wen dispersed by the dragoons and foot guhls .

RENEWED DISTURBANCES AT MANCHESTER . DISPERSION OP A MEETING BY THE POLICE , AND ARREST OF FIFTY PERSONS . Manchester , Wednesday night , Sept . 14 th . — Yesterday , an occurrence took place here which has occasioned a considerable sensation in the town , and not a little diversity of opinion as to the propriety of the proceeding on the part of the authorities . It is pretty generally known that since the recent turnout of hands in this county , the weavers , ( i . e those who weave at power-looms ) have , up to this time , continued idle ; but few having chosen to return to their employment at the present rate of wages . During the time of this cessation from labour ,
which is now about sis weeks , that class of operatives have been living chiefly on the bounty of others who appear to sympathise with their case . Meetings have accordingly been held at different times and places , to distribute the alms thus obtained , and so far as we can learn , this has been done with a fairness and an impartiality highly creditable to those to whom this business has been entrusted . A meeting cf this kind , and for the purpose abovenamed , took place yesterday at the Chartist meeting room , in Brown-street , Ancoats , a very large portion of which consisted of females , who are generally engaged at power-looms , in preference to ineu . As the room is but small , the number of persons who had to receive a portion of theBe subscriptions exceeded
the accommodation it afforded , and were consequently obliged to remain outside . The people i however , ¦ wore perfectly quiet , and did nofc exhibit the slightest symptom of disorderly conduct , nor was the least danger apprehended from their assembling in tho manner already stated , inasmuch as it was known that they had met to receive their share of the centributione , which amounted to threepence each—the allowance of each for a week ! At the outset , a question arose as to whether it would be hotter to divide the money , and give to each an equal portion , or to spend it altogether in the pur caa ? ing of potatoes , which , it was alleged , could be bought much cheaper by wholesale , and then each would have nearly double the quantity that could
be purchased for the threepence . Ia the meantime information was conveyed to the Town Hall of this assemblage , and a strong body of special constables , headed by Captain Sleigh and Superintendent Sawley on horseback , were despatched to the spot , to disperse tha crowd . These wore met in Travisstreet , by Inspector Cochrane , with a body of the regular police , equal in number to the special constables , all of whom went in a body to the place . On their arrival , the people appeared to be somewhat astonished , but for a few moments did not make the slightest movement ; and , considering the multitude , a most singular silence prevailed for several seconds . At length , Supt . rintendant Sawley called upen them to disperse . This order not being
promptly obeyed , a groan , hero and there , was heard to issue from tho throng , whereupon orders were given to the police to surround tho people . As scon as tho police made a nioyeincn * for this ; purpose the crowd began to move rapidly eft' in all directions which were open , but the principaloutlet being at that moment closed by auotber body of police , the crowd was driven back , when forty three persons were taken ii . to custody . Is ' o stoueo , however , were thrown at that time , nor was any attempt made to rescue the prisoners . The officers then fell into marching order with their prisoners , headed by Captain Sloigh , and
Superintendent Sawley , on horgeback , as beforo , and returned to the Town Hall , where the prisoners were all safely lodged . So quiet , however , was tke whole business , that although the distance from the place of meeting to the Town Hall is a good mile , no crowd was collected round the procession of officers and prisoners . Mr . Superintendent Beswick remained at the place of meeting for a short time afterwards , but the people went quietly away—many , very many of them without receiving tho little meaus of relief , the hope of receiving which aleno had called them to the place .
EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS . This morning the whole of the prisoners wore brought up at the Borough Court , before D . Maude and A . Watkin , Esqrs . Tho following prisoners were first brought up—Matthew Hatchinson , Joseph Mills , Ed . M Donald , Patrick Duffey , John Booth , Hugh Head , Samuel Denton , Thomas Grey , Robert Fletcher , and Wm . Denton . Superintendent Sawley stated what we have given in substance above . He added that there were no stones thrown , nor any violence whatever resorted to on the part or" tho assembly .
A special constable , whose name did not transpire , stated that he had been at Brown-strett in company with another special constable , about three quarters of an hour before Mr . Sawley came up . When there , he was attacked by somo of the people , and ono stone was thrown at hin » , jwhich did not hurt him . He then desired the other man to go to the Kirby-strcet station to give information . He could not identify any of the prisoners as having assaulted him . The other special constable then stated that on tbe previous afternoon , abous three o ' clock , ho saw a crowd at tho head of Travis-street , and went to see what it was . Tha people were gathered in clusters here and there , near tho railroad . He and the other
Ronstoble went to disperse them , and they succeeded in getting them to movo off . A great number of them then wait to rho head of Store-street , where they collected again and he ( witness ) and hiB companion went again to disperse them . Instead of going away howeier they began to cheer , and mako a noise . He ( witness ) looked round to see who was cheering , when he was struck on the back with a stone , but it did not hurt him . Ho turned round again when the people again began to cheer , and another stone was thrown . He then sent the other officer to the station to give information . Ho could not identify any of tho prisoners as being of tho party . Mr . John Taylor , solicitor , who appeared for the
prisoners , said he did not know by what law these parties were interfered with at all . They had met for a specific purpose , and they had a right to meet . That was a matter which he apprehended nobody would dispute . It was given in evidence that there was no violence resorted to by any party then present , that there was not the slightest fear entertained of a breach of the peace , and he could not conceive on what authority , or ou what pretext these parties were taken into custody . They had met to receive a dividend from a general fund which they could not receive without meeting : and he apprehended they had a perfect right to meet for this purpose , and that the netting could not by any law that he knew of bs construed into an illegal meeting so long as they were
peaceable . They were peaceable ; they met quietly ; there was no intimidation ; there were no threats ; no riot ; no tumult ; no disturbance , nor the veriest E-iadow of a disturbance until the polico camo to disperse them , which he maintained they had no right to do . If this was uot a lawful purpose ho should like to knew what was ; if that was an illegal meeting he should like to know what would bo a legal one . Why , tho authorities might just as well have sent a body of police to disperse the crowd which hud assembled round Mr . Bake ' s Hotel last night to hear tho news of the winner of the Doncastcr St . Leger ; or they might as well call out the military to drive away the crowd now assembled at the dosr of that Court-house . If however there was any law to
prevent these people from meeting in the way and for the purposes which had bven proved , any law , which while it tolerated the meetings of masters authorised tho dispersion by force of the msetings of the workpeople , ai : y law of this nature of which he had never heard or read , all that he could do in the matter was to plead rha ignorance of his clients as an excu-e , for he would venture to assort that out of the fifty who had been apprehended , aot one of them was aware that he was committing any offence . Ho coiifidered tho special constables altogether to blame in this matter , interfering where < hey had no authority . He had witn ^ ses to pro ^ e the general good character of these rn ^ -n ; and among them was Mr . Simpson the manager of Mr . Gueal ' fl mill at Holt Town .
Mr . Simpson was then called , but did not answer . Mr , Sawley stated that he had been in the Court for the purpose of speaking to the characters of some of the prisoners , bu * had gon a ^ Thomas Langall was then cabled . Mr . Maude—What are you ? Witness—I have been a small shopkeeper . Mr . Maudo—Have been ! Wha \ " are you now ! Witness—I have been unfortunate in business . Mr . Maude—What are you now T How do you get your living ! Witness—I have a little money left , which 1 am living on at present . Mr . Maude—Where do you live ! Witness—In Brown-street , close to the place of meeting . ¦
. The witness then , in answer to questions . by Mr . Taylor , proceeded to state that he was there y esterday ; that he had a wife and child ; that his wife was not alarmed ; that there was no riot , nor . the appearance of a riot . He saw Mr . Beswick co&ie up ( he meant Mr . Sawley ) , who said he should bo obliged to put a stop to tbis . They were perfectly peaceable and quiet , till the police camo up , when they attempted to ran away . They frequently met on that ground . I heard no violent language , nor
was there anything bordering on a disturbance . James Austin was next called . Mr . Maude—What are you , Sir ! Witness—I am a ipinner by trade . Mr . Mamie—WTio do you work for t Witness—I have not spun any Bince Christmas . Mr . Maude—Who did yoa work for last ! Witness—I worked for Mr . Ogden twanty-four years . Mr . Maude—How do you get your living now , Bir Witness—I keep a small shop just Hear the spot .
The witness , in answer to Mr . Taylor 8 questions , tken stated as follows : —Some of the people wera on my steps when this affair took place . I saw nothing that was alarming . All was peaceable and quiet . 1 hare often seen them meet there before . They had

met to receive a little money that had been collected for them . I was in my house the whole of the day , and saw the whole of the meeting . I never saw a stone thrown . Everything was as quiet and peaceable as could be . I saw the whole transaction from tho beginning to the end . Mr . Maude—What time did they begin to meet 1 Witness—It might be just after dinner . When Mr . Sawley came up there was a man telling some of the people to go to Mitchell ' s Tavern to receive their dividends .
Richard Wailcr , James M'Lellan , John M'Gaw , James Knight , Robert Birrell , Thomas Harwick , and Thomas Allum , after undergoing a scrutinizing questioning from Mr . Maude , all gave similar testimony . Mr . Maude asked whether there was any evidence against anj party for throwing stones ! No evidenoo being forthcoming the prisoners were each ordered to enter into their own recognizances , ia the sum of £ 20 each , to keep the peace for three months , Mr . Maude observing that this was a very serious case .
A decent looking woman , named Alice Kershaw , was next put up , and charged with creating a disturbance while the police were conducting the prisoners to the ) ock-up . She was ordered to find two sureties iu £ 15 eaoh to keep the peace for three months , and to give twenty-four hours notice of her bail . T ho remainder of the forty-three prisoners were then brought up and disposed of in a similar manner , all the officers Btaling that tho prisoners were doing nothing when they took them , and that there was no violence !
Six women , named Sarah Massey , Esther Anderson , Jane Fletcher , Jane Hannay , Dinah Yates , and Ann Scott , were then put up , charged with being part of a crowd of females who had collected near the poor house on the Strafford New Road , for the Eame purpose as the weavers who had met in Brown-street . They however were discharged .
ANOTHER LARGE MEETING Took place to-day , near the reservoir , at which several thousands of persons were present . Constant communications were kept up between it and the Town Hall , and a large police force was sent to the place . They did not , however , interfere with the meeting .

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOKTHEItN STAB . Sib ., —As the Star is the acknowledged organ of right and justice , I trust that , if you have not-received an account of the extraordinary matter referred to in this letter from some other source , you will give it insertion . The statement it contains has been publicly made , and it has been said that you know it to bo true . I can only say that if it bo true the wretch who figures in it as the hero of the story , deserves to be hooted from every socieiy into which he may intrude his polluted carcase , and that any body of Chartists hereafter associating with , or acknowledging him , wiU much disgrace themselves , But to my tale .
A man living at Armley or Wortley , as I understood , of tho name of George Myers , has , for some considerable time , sold Chartist tracts and publications in tho Chartist Room , Cheapside . He was ( hero on Sunday evening last , when a sermon was delivered by Mr . Smith . There was a crowded audience , and the discourse was listened to with great attention . After the service , Mr . Smith said that he did not often trouble public meetings with matter personal to himself , but so atrocious an outrage had boon committed in this house and on his family by George Myers , that he thought it right to put the Chartist public on thoir guard against a man so utterly devoid of all principle . He then proceeded to state that some time ago , while absent on a Chartist lecturing tour , accompanied by his
wife , and leaving their only child , & girl , about seventeen years of age , at home alone , this Myere came to his house , to purchase some Chartist tracts . Finding that the girl was the only person at home , be loitered , professing to admire some ornaments on the chimney piece , among which was the head of a somewhat curious tobacco pipe . The girl , though she had no acquaintance with him , knowing him to be one of her father's Chartist friends , made no scruple to gratify his curiosity by showing him a small collection of medals and coins which she thought might interest him . Thia was in the sitting-room of Mr . S ., in which there is a bed ; a « d the villain , Myers , watching a favourable opportunity , seized the girl .
and threw her on the bed and violated her . The poor girl , fearing the anger of her parents , concealed from them all knowledge of the matter until she found further concealment impossible , and then mads the above statement to her mother . Such was the statement of Mr . S ; and he stated further that , he was at first disposed to disbelieve the girl ' B story ; believing Myers incapable of any such thing j but that Myers , on being confronted with the girl in your presence , and that of Mr . Hobson and Mr . Brook , admitted the truth of her story , bo far as connection was concerned , but denied that he used force ; and that he treated the whole matter with great levity , affirming that the girl put the temptation in his way by showing him the coinB , &c , and using many other brutal and heartless expressions . Now , Sir , if this statement be true , this is a gross outrage On all the sanctities of friendship and on all
v * he decencies of civilised life . Wo have had muoh said aod well said about supporting and dealing with our frionds ; and I think it a maxim that Chartists riiovla acton . . But I suppose nobody will pretend that i he man who could deliberately abase the child of a Cbartiflt lecturer at the very tine when her father was absent labouring for the Chartist cause is any friend to Chartism . If the statement be true , the man Myers is a brute unfit for » ny society whatever : if it be not true * Smith is a devil . If the statement bo tru £ . I think tho least mark of protection and support t « e Leeds Chartists can afford their public advocat&s is to show that they repudiate and abhor the wreteh who could so far trample on all our sacred principles as this fellow , Myers , has done ; the least evidence of prinoiple they can shew is to take care that he be not longer permitted to live out ef the movement which he has so thoroughly disgraced . Of the thousands of men now

unemployed , there is Barely one honester and more worthy of support than this brute , Myers , and if there be I do think that the Leeds Chartists ought to teach this George Myers , that he must hereafter work for his own living , and not live out of profits made among them . I am the more inclined to believe Smith ' s statement , because he referred so confidently to yourself and others , as being able to bear him out in it ; and I think that , as you are cited as one of his witnesses , it is your duty to publish either a confirmation or denial of his statement . That is my opinion ; I am a plain man and speak plainly . Yours , A SINCERE LOVEH OF DeHOCHATIC RIGHT .
[ We rather question the wisdom of Mr . Smith's making this delicate and painful family matter a subject of public discussion . But that is his affair ; not ours . Thus appealed to by our correspondent , we are bound toeay that the statements described to have been made " by Mr . S . aro true : and that we perfectly agree with bur correspondent' s opinion , that Myers is a heartless brute , and the Leeds Chartists ought to let him kuow that they think so . 'Tis not a matter in which the public cau do much towards redressing tho injury to Mr . Smith ' s family ; but they can and ought to mark their execration of it . ]

GEORGE WHITE . TO THE ED 1 IOR OF THE NOKIHERN STAR . Sir . —You and the country will no doubt be anxious to hear concerning ihe case of our friend Mr . fteorge White . You will find it reported by Mr . Thorn , in the Star of the 3 rd inslant , that bail had been tendered to the magiatrates , consisting of Mesars Ren ton , Nurse , Carbet , &c ; on their being refusal by the above self-styled , other , bail were offered , namely , Messrs . O Connor , Watta , Oliver , and Taylor ; on being applied to , the magistrates' clerk at once informed tne deputations
that Mr . Taylor had Uwu rejected , and that they ( the clerks ) wanted to see Mr . Oliver ; that gentleman immediately repaired to tbe public office , when the clerks began to use all the powers they were possessed of , to try and intimidate him from standing bail ; when they fouud that he was not to be moved by all their insolence , they lmmodiately said that thoy also rejected Messrs O'Connor and Watts , on account of their insufficiency , and that we must find another individual to stand along with Mr . Oliver , and give forty eight hours' notice . Then the magistrates would consider better of it and let us know if they thought proper to accept them or not .
Now , Mr . Editor , do let it be understood , that after having the required notice of forty-eight hours , when waited up » n , they want another fortj-ei ^ bt hoars to consider of the responsibility of tho parties . Do yoa call this justice ? is it rather not tyranny of the deepest dye ? It is evident that they do not intend taking any bail at all ; they are afraid to let the rampant lion from his den , lest he should have an opportunity of preparing a defence ngainst the unsubstantiated charges brought against him . Two individuals , unconnected
¦ with patty politics , having a large amount of property , have come forward and offered their services as bail ; they have been tendered , bat we do not know the result Tho committee for his defence ara doing all they can in tbe matter . They have written to Mr . O'Connor respecting bringing tke case before the Judges in Chambers ; they have also issued an address to the Trades of Birmingham . Yours , &o ., Charles Thorpe .
[ We are compelled to leave out the address ; but hope earnestly that the trades of Birmingham , among whom it is circulated in print , will heartily respondlto it—Ed . ]
